0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:33possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths
0:00:35 > 0:00:37today are the Toon Raiders.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now, this team of friends all attend Newcastle University
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and also live together in the same flat.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Must be lively. Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Will, I'm 20 and I'm studying Civil Engineering.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Cameron, I'm 20 and I'm studying Accounting and Finance.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Will, I'm 19 and I'm studying Business.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Dan, I'm 20 and I'm studying History And Politics.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Will, I'm 19 and I'm studying Arts.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03So, Will and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05You're not originally from Newcastle, is that right?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08No, we're not, we're all from all around England.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Like, some from the North, some from the South.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I'm from Newbury, it's near Oxford.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- Although it starts with New, it's not anywhere near Newcastle.- No.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22And you call yourselves Toon Raiders because you're taking all the best bits of the Toon?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Taking on the best bits of the Toon, and then the Raiders,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26to raid the Eggheads of the money.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27THEY LAUGH Hopefully!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30OK, that's very hard-headed. That's good.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Do you end up supporting Newcastle United
0:01:32 > 0:01:34if you're getting into the Toon this much?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- I'm not a huge football fan, so, not me, but these guys.- Not for me.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Still a Liverpool fan.- Still an Arsenal fan.- Still a Liverpool fan.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Liverpool.- Right, we're Newcastle, but we're not THAT Newcastle, OK!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- THEY LAUGH - Do you quiz together?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Yes, we've done a few pub quizzes at Newcastle
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and when we were in halls together as well. We've done a few of them.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Are this lot big on campus?- They are.- Do people know who they are?
0:01:56 > 0:01:57- Students?- Oh, no doubt.- Yes.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01We hear occasionally it's a student thing to watch the Eggheads.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Definitely.- Just as soon as you get home from lectures, it's on,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08so we just stick it on and watch it while cooking dinner.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10You can cheer yourselves on when you watch this one back,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14so, good luck, Toon Raiders. I hope you raid the Eggheads.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Here they all are. And as you know, every day,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize-money rolls over
0:02:23 > 0:02:26to the next show, so, Toon Raiders, the Eggheads have won the last
0:02:26 > 0:02:30eight games, which means that £9,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Not too bad.- The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of science.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Who would like this?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39THEY CONFER
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Me?- Yes. - Who should we take on, then?
0:02:43 > 0:02:49- So, Will H on science against who?- I think we want to take Pat.- Pat.- Yes.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Pat.- OK, Will H from the Toon Raiders versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- So, Will H, you were born in Hong Kong?- Yes, I was.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04And you've done quite a lot of travel and you've been
0:03:04 > 0:03:07around the place, California and South Africa and everything else?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Yes, I went to California this Christmas holidays
0:03:10 > 0:03:13and also Utah as well to stay with friends and family.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16So how come you're so well travelled? That sounds great.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Yeah, my family just love it. It gets us all together as well.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24It's something to do. It's normally sort of like sightseeing.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- As opposed to just lazing? - Yeah. It's the parents.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32I want to go on more lazy holidays, they seem to prefer the sightseeing.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Always a classic split in a relationship,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37it's between the deckchair holiday and the sightseeing.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39And I bet you Eggheads are all the same,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42you're out with the camera and a guidebook every day, aren't you?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- No.- You're not, Dave?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48No, I'm in his camp. I am in Will's camp, to be perfectly honest.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52So am I, 100%. Just find me a nice, sunny spot and a pool, that is it,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54it doesn't matter which country it's in.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56OK, Will, we're not on Geography here, even though
0:03:56 > 0:03:59you're well travelled, we're on Science, but that's good, because
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- you're an engineering student. - Yes, I hope it'll be good.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05We have other things other than engineering, but let's see.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Good luck. First or second set of questions? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Here we go.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16In a primary rainbow, which colour is seen on the outside of the arc?
0:04:18 > 0:04:23I don't think it's yellow. I'm just trying to picture it right now
0:04:23 > 0:04:25in the sky.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29I think green is on the inside of it,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32so, I think I'm going to go for red.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yes, well done, red is correct.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37What's the famous mnemonic there?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Richard of York gave battle in vain. - Richard of York gave battle in vain.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- Right. Red, orange.- Yellow.- Yellow. - Green, blue, indigo, Violet.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Perfect.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Pat, your question. Which of these is a factor of 39?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58You've got to be careful with these.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02You've got factors and then you've got common factors, but it's 13.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- It's 13, because 13 goes INTO 39? - Divides evenly into 39.- I see.
0:05:06 > 0:05:1113 is the right answer. Well done. OK, here we go. Will H.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13What's the term for a sound waves with
0:05:13 > 0:05:18frequencies below the lower limit of human audibility?
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Erm... Ultrasound is when they have... for the babies in the stomach.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Infrasound,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I don't think I've heard that one before.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I did physics at A-level, so I should know this.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39They use sonarsound in submarines, I think.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- I'm going to go with sonarsound again, on the left.- Pat, do you know?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I think infrasound. Infra means beneath.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Infrasound is the right answer. - Aagh.- Will H.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52So, you've given a chance to Pat to get in here.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56The venomous water moccasin snake or cottonmouth belongs to
0:05:56 > 0:05:57which family, Pat?
0:06:01 > 0:06:07It's a North American snake. And it is quite dangerous. It's venomous.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Anaconda is a constrictor and pythons are,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12generally speaking, constrictors.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17- So, it must be a North American viper.- Viper is the right answer.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- He's ahead, so you've got to get this one, Will H.- Yeah.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I hope this is covered by your, what is it, Civil Engineering or...?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Yes, civil.- What does civil mean? Does that just mean you're
0:06:26 > 0:06:27very polite to each other?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Bridges, buildings, roads, covers quite a lot.- OK.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34I hope it covers the periodic table.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Which of the elements represented by a single
0:06:36 > 0:06:40letter in the periodic table has the highest atomic number?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Erm... I couldn't...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I don't know this one, for sure.
0:06:52 > 0:06:58Tungsten... Uranium is low down. I know that.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I know the higher up ones, so, Vanadium could be it,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05and tungsten... Hmmm.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I think I'm going to go for...
0:07:08 > 0:07:10vanadium.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Funnily enough, vanadium's got the lowest.- Oh.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19But the highest is uranium. Vanadium is 23, tungsten is 74.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Anyone know uranium?- 92.- 92. - They all say, Eggheads all say 92.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Don't know how they know that. - Don't know.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Uranium is the right answer, so, I'm sorry,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Pat has taken the round. Well done, Pat, you're in the final.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Will, you've been knocked out, but don't worry, early days.- Yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Still a lot of chances to recover.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Please come back, rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41It's interesting.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43We have a lot of periodic table, I know quizzers love it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Is uranium a special number? Would we know it's 92?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Yes, because the elements discovered after
0:07:49 > 0:07:54the original 92 are called transuranic elements, so uranium
0:07:54 > 0:07:57is a bit of a watershed, really, in terms of the periodic table.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And 1992, it wasn't discovered in 1992?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03No, no, no, it was discovered quite a lot earlier,
0:08:03 > 0:08:07but, as I said, the first 92 elements that were put on,
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- after that, they keep discovering other ones.- Yeah, artificial.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Since I was in chemistry classes, which I think was 1980,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- has the periodic table got bigger? - Oh, yes, a lot bigger.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- With new elements?- Yes. But they're all artificial.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27And they don't last for more than a tiny fraction of a millisecond.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- So, I don't see the point of them, really.- So how many are there now?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- I think there's about... - About 118, 114.- 118?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Did you know that, Will?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- No. I knew there are over 100 though. - Did you?- Yeah.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42As it stands, the Toon Raiders have lost a brain from the final round.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46The Eggheads have not lost any, thanks to a question on uranium.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- The next subject is Geography. Now, which of you would like this?- Me.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- This is definitely you, Will.- Right, Will S is going to take this one.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Will S in the middle, against which Egghead?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Do you want to take Dave?- Yes. - THEY CONFER
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Is Dave not good at geography?- I'd give Dave something slightly harder.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07He's quite good at Geography.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Just take Dave. Take Dave.- Yeah. Take Dave.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Will S against Tremendous Knowledge Dave on Geography,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15please go to the Question Room now.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17So, Will, whereabouts are you from originally?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Lincoln, which is East Midlands area.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- And I gather you have a famous sister?- Yes, she's a swimmer.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- She's been in the last two Olympics. - And any particular stroke?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- 200m backstroke.- Wow, and how did she do in 2012?- She came fourth.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- And were you there cheering her on? - No, it's difficult to get tickets,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39so I was just cheering from home, but my parents were there, so...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42That's funny, sometimes even for the athlete, it was hard to get
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- people in, friends and family in? - Yeah, you get two allocated tickets
0:09:46 > 0:09:49per athlete, I think, so, for everyone else, it was hard to get in.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52OK, Geography, Tremendous Knowledge Dave, are you up for this?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Yes, yes, always up for a geographical challenge.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57A bit of an Achilles heel recently, though.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59We'll see if we can get back on track.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01OK, so, Will S, would you like to go first or second?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03First, please, Jeremy.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Arthur's Seat is the main peak of a group of hills in which park?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Right, I've got absolutely no idea.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21I've got a slight inkling it might be Hailey Park,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24so I'm going to go with Hailey Park.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- It's Holyrood Park, actually. That's Edinburgh, is it, Eggheads?- Yes.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33It's sort of a big hill near the city.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Your question, Dave,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38what colour is the middle stripe on the Italian flag?
0:10:41 > 0:10:47Oh, no! The middle one. The flag is red, white and green, isn't it?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51So, it's certainly not blue, just trying to visualise it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57I could have made an error here, but I've got a feeling it is
0:10:57 > 0:11:00white in the middle, so that is my answer, white.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02White is the right answer.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04OK, back to you, Will S.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Which of these is a section of the North Atlantic Ocean?
0:11:12 > 0:11:19I'm pretty confident it's the Norwegian Sea. Just, well, I hope so.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Norwegian Sea. - It's the Norwegian Sea, well done.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Dave, what is the official monetary unit of Armenia?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Mmmm. I should know these straight off.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Something is drawing me to Dram.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42But that could be anything, really,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44because I like the word for other reasons.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46But I will say Dram.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- Let's see if he's right, is he right?- Yes.- Dram is right, Dave.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56OK, you need to get this right, Will S, otherwise he will take the round.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Grantley Adams Airport is located on which Caribbean island ?
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Erm... I'm not sure on this one either, Jeremy.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I've got just a little feeling it might be Jamaica,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18but no idea, really, so I'm going to go with Jamaica.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Let's check with Dave over here - is he right?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- I think it's Barbados. - Who was Grantley Adams, anyway?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27I think he was a Prime Minister of Barbados
0:12:27 > 0:12:31in the early, I think, possibly involved with the independence.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33A great Caribbean name.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Barbados is the answer, so, sorry, Will, you've been knocked out
0:12:36 > 0:12:39against Tremendous Knowledge Dave, whose knowledge is tremendous.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42No question about it! Please come back and we'll play on.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47So, as it stands, the Toon Raiders have lost two
0:12:47 > 0:12:50brains from the final round and the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55The next subject for you is Film and Television. Who would like this?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59I don't think we should take Dan and Cameron out, because...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01You do watch a lot of series.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- OK. I'll take this one. - Will. Will B now.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- The third Will.- Want to try Daphne? - Daphne on TV, I think.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Daphne is good.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I've seen her before on TV, think she's pretty good.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- I think just go with Judith. - So, Judith, please.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23OK, Will B from the Toon Raiders versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30So, what are you watching at the moment, Will?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I'm currently watching Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Do you know those programmes?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38A lot of people have told me to watch Breaking Bad
0:13:38 > 0:13:39and I am intending to.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Walking Dead is the one with Morrissey, isn't it?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45David Morrissey? Is he the town mayor or something?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Maybe, yeah, he might be. No, I've got like ten on the go,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49so it's quite hard to keep track of what I'm watching.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52You do box sets or do you take them down from the net or what?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Just on the Internet, yes, yes. - Sounds good.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56You got across that yet, Judith,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59that thing of streaming programmes live on the net?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Yes, yes, you can, but I never get round to it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05OK, Film and Television, Will B, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07First, please, Jeremy.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Here's your first question.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Which writer, Will, was portrayed in a 2001 film by Kate Winslet
0:14:15 > 0:14:17and then Judi Dench?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25I think on this one, Jeremy, I'm going to go with Beatrix Potter.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I would have agreed with you, but it is wrong, actually. It is, anyone?
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- Iris Murdoch.- Iris Murdoch is the answer. OK, Judith, your question.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41In 2012, Jessica Raine was first seen in the role of Jenny Lee
0:14:41 > 0:14:44in which TV drama series?
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- That's Call the Midwife.- It's Call the Midwife, you're right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Will, back to you, hang on in there.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57In 2012, Anton Piotrowski
0:14:57 > 0:15:01and Keri Moss were the first joint winners of which competition?
0:15:06 > 0:15:12Um, I'm not really up-to-date with the talent shows, really.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17I don't think Young Apprentice has joint winners,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19so I'm going to exclude that one.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23MasterChef: The Professionals, I think that's just, I think...
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Oh, dear.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Erm...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I'm going to go with Britain's Got Talent, Jeremy.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- No, not that, your team-mates, do they know?- I think it's MasterChef.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37MasterChef: The Professionals, Will.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41So, if Judith gets this one right, the round is over. Judith,
0:15:41 > 0:15:46who played First Lady Ellen Mitchell in the 1993 comedy film Dave?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I didn't see that, so I'm going to have to guess.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Well, out of all those, who is funniest?
0:15:59 > 0:16:04I think it might be Diane Keaton, if it was a comedy?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I'm trying to remember the story here.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Dave was the president, is that right?- Yes.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Played by, anyone?- Kevin Kline. - Kevin Kline.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- It's not Diane Keaton, it's Sigourney Weaver.- Oh.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16You made a sound there as
0:16:16 > 0:16:18if you are physically pained by your wrong answer.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22I am. Always physically pained by wrong answers.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25So, the round continues. Will, your question. Get this one right,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27or the round is over.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32Which silent film comedian played Erronius in the 1966 musical film
0:16:32 > 0:16:35A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I've got no idea on this one.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47I'm going to go with Harold Lloyd.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52It's bad luck, it's Buster Keaton.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Buster Keaton is the answer. Judith, you've won that round,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Film and TV. You can afford to smile. Just a little.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- I ALWAYS smile!- Will B, you have been knocked out, sorry.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06If you come back to us, we will play on.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- So, Will H.- Yes.- Thoughts here?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12The raid has not happened yet, but it still could.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15No, I think... probably got our two strongest people left,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- so, I say the strongest, Dan and then Cameron.- Big pressure.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- So, this was a way of almost...- And we still have our best subjects left.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27OK. Very good. The optimism of youth.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Believe me, these Eggheads,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31when they fuse, it's like the lights go out and that's it.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34As it stands, the Toon Raiders have not done the raid yet.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36They've lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39The Eggheads have not lost any. Let's see what happens next.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- It's Politics. Who would like this? - There's a clear person.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- I'm going to have to take this.- Dan. - Dan, politics student?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- Against which Egghead?- I think I'm going to take on Daphne.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52OK, Dan and Daphne. You like politics, Daphne, don't you?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Not particularly. - Please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01So, Dan, you have the faintest Eggheads connection, don't you?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Just tell us what that is.- Yes, there's a bit of history there.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I think your, yes, the other presenter,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Dermot Murnaghan, I think he used to go to the same school as me.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11And whereabouts was that?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It's in a place called Holywood just outside of Belfast
0:18:14 > 0:18:16in Northern Ireland.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19And it's actually the same town where Rory McIlroy is from
0:18:19 > 0:18:22and he also went to my school.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- It's Holywood with one L, isn't it?- Yes. With one L.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Yes, I remember. I worked at BBC Belfast for a time,
0:18:27 > 0:18:31very early on, and stayed in a place called Green Island which was
0:18:31 > 0:18:35just across the lake, across the bay, what is that? Anyone know?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Strangford, is it? Strangford Lough? - Strangford, yes, that's it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Looking across Strangford.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42OK, well, that sounds like the start of a Van Morrison song, doesn't it?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46OK, we are on Politics, Dan. Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Yes, I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51And here is your question.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55How old was John Major when he became Prime Minister in 1990?
0:18:59 > 0:19:05Erm, well, I know John Major succeeded Thatcher.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10And I think he was quite a young Prime Minister.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16So, I'm going to go with 47,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18because I think 37 is maybe a bit too young for him
0:19:18 > 0:19:22to be that far in his political career, so I'm going to go 47.
0:19:22 > 0:19:2647 is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30OK, Daphne, which actress was elected MP for Hampstead
0:19:30 > 0:19:32and Highgate in 1992?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It was Glenda Jackson.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Glenda Jackson is the right answer, correct.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47OK, we go back to you, Dan. Which politician, then the Employment
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Secretary, introduced the British Bank Holiday known as May Day?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I've got absolutely no idea.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I would have said May Day has been around for some time but...
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I can't even work out logically from those names,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12so, I'm just going to have to guess Edward Heath.
0:20:14 > 0:20:20It's Michael Foot. Probably hard to get it from guesswork, that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- When did that happen?- '78.- 1978.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27'78 says Daphne, so that was under Callaghan, was it?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- I would assume so.- OK.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Your question, Daphne, to take the lead. In the UK, the format of
0:20:35 > 0:20:41which number is two prefix letters, six digits and one suffix letter?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Could you repeat it?
0:20:46 > 0:20:51In the UK, the format of which number is two prefix letters,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54six digits and one suffix letter?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I think that is your national insurance number.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03That's national insurance number. You're right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06It would be easy to get that one wrong.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- And I know you don't like numbers very much.- No, I hate numbers.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10SHE LAUGHS
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Dan, here is your question. You need to get this one right, Dan, OK?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Yes. - In 1957, and again in 1960,
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Keith Jacka Holyoake became Prime Minister of which country?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Well, I've never heard of the name before.
0:21:30 > 0:21:37I presume it's not South Africa, because of Nelson Mandela.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43So, it's really just a guess between Canada and New Zealand.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50I'm going to go for New Zealand.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53New Zealand is correct. Well done.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57OK, Daphne, this for the round.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02Which Prime Minister was married to the widow of the MP Wyndham Lewis?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Oh. I don't know.
0:22:11 > 0:22:18The only thing I can think of that I don't recognise the name,
0:22:18 > 0:22:25but Benjamin Disraeli married a widow, so, Benjamin Disraeli?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Is she right, Eggs?- I think so.- Yes, you are.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Benjamin Disraeli is the right answer,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33so well done, Daphne, you have taken the round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Sorry, Dan, just that one wrong answer cost you there.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- It could be a lonely final for Cameron.- Yes.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Good luck to him, he's going to need it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Well, come back to us. We'll sort it all out and we'll play the final round.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52It's time for the final round, which, is always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads won't be allowed
0:22:55 > 0:23:01to take part in this round, so Will H, Will S, Dan and Will B, the
0:23:01 > 0:23:05three Wills from the Toon Raiders, will you please leave the studio?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11So, Cameron, you are playing to win the Toon Raiders £9,000.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Pat, Judith, Kevin, Dave and Daphne, you are playing for
0:23:15 > 0:23:19something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' very precious reputation.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:23:24 > 0:23:28and you are allowed to confer, although I know with
0:23:28 > 0:23:30all of them back there, it's going to be tricky.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32So, Cameron, the question is,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35is your one brain able to conduct this effective raid you've
0:23:35 > 0:23:38been promising on the Eggheads' five brains?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- And would you like to go first or second?- I will go first, please.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45OK, best of luck.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Who was the runner-up in the 2012 Tour De France?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55OK, I'm tempted to rule out,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I'm pretty sure it wasn't David Millar, so, I'm pretty tempted
0:23:58 > 0:24:03to rule him out, so, it's between Mark Cavendish and Chris Froome.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Erm...
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Mark Cavendish was in the same team as Bradley Wiggins,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12but, I've got a feeling it was Chris Froome.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Chris Froome is the right answer. Good start.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18That easily could've tripped you up. Well done.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Here we go, Eggheads, What two-word Latin phrase often used to
0:24:21 > 0:24:26describe a public apology translates into English as "my fault".
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Mea Culpa.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- That's Mea Culpa, Jeremy. - Mea Culpa is the right answer.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I'm trying to work out what Carpe Vinem is. Does that
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- means "seize the vine"? - Sounds like it!
0:24:41 > 0:24:42THEY LAUGH
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- I think it's a joke, Jeremy.- I think yes, that's right. Seize the vine.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Cameron, on a standard London Monopoly board, the properties
0:24:50 > 0:24:55that are directly adjacent to the "go to jail" square are what colour?
0:25:02 > 0:25:06OK, I'm pretty sure it's not blue, because blue's right at the end.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10So, that's that one ruled out. Oh.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17I think red, I think red is next to it, just when you pass, oh,
0:25:17 > 0:25:23wait, it is... I might be thinking of free parking.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24I'm getting muddled between the two.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I will go yellow and green, please.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Yellow and green. Yellow and green is correct. Well done.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39You got it right. Playing on his own.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Goodness me, you're playing well.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Eggheads, in which year did the Nobel Peace Prize winner
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Mother Teresa die?
0:25:50 > 0:25:55- 1997.- 1997.- It was right after Diana's death.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00That was 1997, very much around the same time as Princess Diana.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02That's correct. 1997.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Third question to you, Cameron. Keep up the pressure,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08get this one right and then it could fall apart.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Under what pseudonym did William Connor
0:26:10 > 0:26:16write a regular column for the Daily Mirror between 1935 and 1967?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I literally don't have a clue here. It could be any of them.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Yes, I've not got a clue,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34so, I'd go straight down the middle and go Jocasta.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Jocasta is wrong, actually, it is Cassandra. OK.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42If you get this one right, the contest is over, Eggheads.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Here we go.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Skull and Bones is the name of a secret society of which
0:26:48 > 0:26:49American University?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Yale. Yale. OK?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I think it's one that the Bushes in their turn belong to,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00and it's Yale.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It's not very secret, is it?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06No, you always wonder about secret societies,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08there's not a lot of point. Still, there you go!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Is it just a drinking club or what?
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Hijinks and drinking and making connections that will serve them
0:27:14 > 0:27:16well in a later careers.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Well, I haven't said yet whether you got it right,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20but they did answer with certainty.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- No, I'm pretty sure it's Yale. - Yale is the right answer.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26So we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34The scoreboard shows you pushed them pretty hard right
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- until the end there. - Yeah, no, it is tight,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- but it's always going to be tough against five Eggheads.- Yes.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43When they're all together like that, it is formidable. Even
0:27:43 > 0:27:49the sight is frightening, frankly. Commiserations to the Toon Raiders.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Commiserations, Cameron, you played very well.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:53 > 0:27:55and their winning streak continues.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58I'm afraid it does mean you won't be going back to Newcastle
0:27:58 > 0:28:01with the £9,000, sorry to disappoint your colleagues
0:28:01 > 0:28:05back there. The money therefore rolls over to our next show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:12 > 0:28:14to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17£10,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
