0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers

0:00:27 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are...

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Now, this team of colleagues all work for the same

0:00:40 > 0:00:42publishing company based in Cambridge

0:00:42 > 0:00:46and each take part in the office quiz. Let's meet them.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi. My name's Pete, I'm 34 years old and I'm a circulation manager.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm Warren, I'm 39 and I'm a publishing director.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi. My name's Darren, I'm 36 years old and I'm a sales manager.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi. I'm Jon, I'm 32 and I'm an advertising manager.

0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hi. My name's Tom, I'm 60 years of age and I'm editor in chief.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, Pete and team, welcome. Good to see you.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08What kind of publishing do you do, then, Pete?

0:01:08 > 0:01:11We are five scientific magazines.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14It's the kind of differing variations of science when it comes to things

0:01:14 > 0:01:17like optics, lasers,

0:01:17 > 0:01:20the nitty-grittiness, really, of actual scientists.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Highly specialised. - Pretty specialised, yeah.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Would I be right in assuming you're hoping that science will come up?

0:01:25 > 0:01:29We have a strong scientist in our team, yeah.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Just the one?- We have a doctor in our team,

0:01:32 > 0:01:35so hoping for science definitely to come up.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Definitely hoping that science WON'T come up!- OK.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41You're called the Beer Run Quizzers. Why? Where does...?

0:01:41 > 0:01:42I haven't heard a mention of beer yet.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45We work hard Monday to Thursday

0:01:45 > 0:01:48and on a Friday, four o'clock-ish,

0:01:48 > 0:01:52we have a quiz to see who does the beer run

0:01:52 > 0:01:54which is who goes to get the beer.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58The loser of the quiz, basically, goes to get that from the local shop.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00We'll have to have the same thing here, won't we? I think.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04- So, if they lose, they buy the beer. - I'm happy with that, yeah.- Good. OK.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Well, good luck to you. Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash

0:02:07 > 0:02:09up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:11 > 0:02:13the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17So, Beer Run Quizzers, the Eggheads have won just the last game

0:02:17 > 0:02:21which means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Who would like this?

0:02:26 > 0:02:27What's our thoughts?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Might have to be you. Might be you, Pete.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Are we sacrificing? Are we sacrificing early?

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Looks like we're sacrificing early and I'm going in.- OK.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39You're going in, Pete, against which Egghead?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Any of them can be called forwards.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44I'm going against the smiling assassin that is Barry.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Barry. The Brain, we call him, cos he recently won

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Brain of Britain. OK. So, Pete from the Beer Run Quizzers

0:02:50 > 0:02:53versus the Brain from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,

0:02:53 > 0:02:57would you please take your positions in the Question Room?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Pete, it's been drawn to my attention that we share

0:02:59 > 0:03:03- the same surname.- Yes, we do. - Have you been a Vine for very long?

0:03:03 > 0:03:08- For 34 years.- Not just changed it for this afternoon?- I wish.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- It's a great one.- It will give you the edge, you realise that?

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- I hope so.- Good luck beating Barry.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Not that we're ganging up on you, Barry, you understand.- Course not.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19It's Arts & Books, Pete, and you can choose

0:03:19 > 0:03:22- whether you go first or second. - I'll go first, please.

0:03:25 > 0:03:26Here is your first question.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Who created the series of Spot The Dog children's books

0:03:30 > 0:03:31first published in 1980?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Right. Well, I've been put in as the sacrificial lamb

0:03:37 > 0:03:41when it comes to Arts & Books, so a lot of this will be difficult for me.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45The name that really kind of sticks out for me is Raymond Briggs,

0:03:45 > 0:03:47so I'll go with that.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51It was actually Eric Hill who did Spot The Dog, Pete.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Bad start.- Barry, your question.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57The artists Sisley, Pissarro and Renoir

0:03:57 > 0:04:00are most often described as what type of artists?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05They're not Surrealists

0:04:05 > 0:04:09and they're much too late to be Pre-Raphaelite. So, Impressionists.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11They are Impressionists. Correct.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13OK.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Fallen behind, Pete, but don't worry, here is your next question.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20To Autumn, a poem by John Keats, starts with the line,

0:04:20 > 0:04:24"Season of mists and mellow..." what?

0:04:29 > 0:04:30Wistfulness...

0:04:30 > 0:04:34Erm, again, it's just a guess,

0:04:34 > 0:04:36but I'm going to go with...

0:04:36 > 0:04:38fruitfulness.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40You are in touch with the spirit of John Keats.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42You got it right. Well done.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45It was fruitfulness. OK. Your question, Barry.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48In George Orwell's novel Animal Farm,

0:04:48 > 0:04:50what type of creature is Benjamin?

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Ah. Benjamin, I think, was one of the workhorses of Animal Farm

0:04:56 > 0:05:00and I believe he was a somewhat bolshie donkey.

0:05:01 > 0:05:06Donkey is right. Well done. So, this is awkward, Pete.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Cos you got the first one wrong, you've got to get this one right,

0:05:09 > 0:05:12otherwise Barry will have won. The Gate Of Calais,

0:05:12 > 0:05:15otherwise known as O, The Roast Beef Of Old England,

0:05:15 > 0:05:17is the 1748 painting by which artist?

0:05:22 > 0:05:26To be fair, the only two names that kind of jump off the page,

0:05:26 > 0:05:29as it were, are probably Hogarth and Constable,

0:05:29 > 0:05:32actual painters that I recognise.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'm again shooting in the dark.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39I'm going to shoot straight down the middle at William Hogarth.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42William Hogarth is the right answer.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47So, if you get this right, Barry, you're in the final round.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Here we are. Third question to the Brain.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Which critic famously wrote that he doubted he could love anyone

0:05:53 > 0:05:55who did not wish to see Look Back In Anger?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Well, I don't know the answer to this one,

0:06:01 > 0:06:04but it sounds very much indeed like something Kenneth Tynan

0:06:04 > 0:06:05would say, so that's my answer.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Kenneth Tynan is the right answer, Barry. Very well done. You got it.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Three out of three. Sorry, Pete.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- He's very good on Arts & Books, among other things.- He is good.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Anyway, although you've been knocked out,

0:06:16 > 0:06:18there's plenty of time still to recover for your team.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Please come back, rejoin your team-mates.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25As it stands, the Beer Run Quizzers have lost one brain

0:06:25 > 0:06:28from the final round, the Eggheads have not lost a brain

0:06:28 > 0:06:30and the next subject is Science.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32How about that?

0:06:32 > 0:06:36- Thankfully, we have a doctor on our team, so we'll send him in.- OK.

0:06:36 > 0:06:41- Tom against anyone but Barry. - Who shall we go with?- Pat or Daphne.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- One of the two.- I think Pat. - We'll go with Pat, please.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47So, Tom from the Beer Run Quizzers versus Pat from the Eggheads.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50And the upside here, Pat, is if you fall ill in the Question Room,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52there is a doctor present already.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54I've got a nasty rash...

0:06:54 > 0:06:56We may not have time for that!

0:06:56 > 0:07:00To ensure there's no conferring, please take your leave of us.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05So, Tom, what sort of a doctor are you, if you don't mind me saying? Are you a medical doctor?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08No, my wife always tells me that I'm the wrong type of doctor.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11- No, it was physics.- Oh, I see. A doctor in physics.- Yep.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15- So, you couldn't heal Pat, but you could lift him.- Er, yes.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18OK. Good luck in this round. Would you like to go first or second?

0:07:18 > 0:07:20I'd prefer to go first, please.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Here we go with your first question. On computer keyboards,

0:07:25 > 0:07:30which word is represented by the abbreviation CTRL?

0:07:34 > 0:07:37It would be the right-hand one, control.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Control is correct.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43OK, Pat.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46An object whose shape offers the least possible resistance

0:07:46 > 0:07:50to a current of air or water is said to be what?

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Such a shape encourages fluid to flow along it

0:07:58 > 0:08:01in a streamlined fashioned, so it's a streamlined shape.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Streamlined is the right answer.

0:08:04 > 0:08:05Back to you, Tom.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09What type of creature is the whimbrel found on Shetland?

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Well, my...

0:08:15 > 0:08:18I don't know this at all.

0:08:18 > 0:08:23I would not think that it's a crab. I've not heard of crabs on Shetland.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26I have a horrid feeling that if I go for rabbit,

0:08:26 > 0:08:30you will then tell me that, actually, there are no rabbits

0:08:30 > 0:08:34on Shetland at all which would suggest a bird. Erm...

0:08:36 > 0:08:39I think despite the reasoning that I've just done...

0:08:41 > 0:08:43..I think I'll go for a rabbit.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48When you said, "Despite the reasoning I've just done,"

0:08:48 > 0:08:50I was wondering where you were going to end up.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54It was brilliant up to the moment where you decided it was wrong

0:08:54 > 0:08:56cos it's bird. Sorry, Tom.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Pat, your question.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02In which year did the German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth

0:09:02 > 0:09:03discover uranium?

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Bit tricky.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14I've heard of his name. I knew he discovered uranium,

0:09:14 > 0:09:17but I'm not sure when he did so.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20It's going to be a guess.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24I think I'll go down the middle for 1789.

0:09:24 > 0:09:28Poetic justice, really. You shouldn't be getting it right

0:09:28 > 0:09:32because Tom's guess was wrong, but you have guessed correctly. 1789.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35OK. Tom, your question.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Which of these is the term for the ability of some materials

0:09:38 > 0:09:40to absorb large amounts of moisture

0:09:40 > 0:09:43until they eventually form a solution?

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Well, the efflorescence is about flowering.

0:09:51 > 0:09:56Constringence is about shrinking together.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00Deliquescence sounds vaguely liquidy to me,

0:10:00 > 0:10:03so I will go with deliquescence.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07I'm thinking we're listening to a doctor of physics there.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Well done. Deliquescence it is.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Now, if Pat gets this wrong, we go to Sudden Death.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14You're still in it. Here we go, Pat.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18The Divided Self published in 1960 was an influential book

0:10:18 > 0:10:21by which psychiatrist?

0:10:25 > 0:10:29I think this chap was very well-known but pretty controversial. Erm...

0:10:31 > 0:10:33I think it's RD Laing.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37RD Laing is the right answer, Pat. I'm sorry, Tom.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40You've been knocked out. It's sometimes very costly

0:10:40 > 0:10:42to get one wrong. You won't be in the final and Pat will.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46Please, both of you, return to your teams.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50OK. As it stands, the Beer Run Quizzers have lost two brains.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53I'm just wondering if we're worrying about buying the beer here.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56There could have to be a beer moment.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- It's getting that way, isn't it? - The Eggheads have not lost a brain

0:10:59 > 0:11:02and the next subject for you is History.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Who would like this?- You, Darren?

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- I think you're right.- Darren.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09- That'll have to be me.- Darren? OK.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13- Which Egghead would you like to take on?- I think Daphne.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16- I'll go for Daphne.- So, Darren from the Beer Run Quizzers

0:11:16 > 0:11:20versus Daphne from the Eggheads, please go to the Question Room now.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23OK. So, we're on History.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Darren, would you like to go first or second?

0:11:25 > 0:11:30Well, as the other two guys have gone first, I am going to go second.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Here we go. Daphne, your question.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37The Imperial Order of the Crown of India

0:11:37 > 0:11:39was established by which monarch?

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Well, I would hope it's Victoria,

0:11:45 > 0:11:47first Empress of India.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50Victoria's the right answer. Well done.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53OK. Your question, Darren.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56In October, 1970, the oil company British Petroleum

0:11:56 > 0:11:58announced it had struck oil where?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Ah. That's an interesting question.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08I'm going to discount North Wales, I think.

0:12:08 > 0:12:09Er...

0:12:09 > 0:12:14North Pole sounds a little bit too deep for me for oil exploration

0:12:14 > 0:12:17until modern times. I'm going to go for,

0:12:17 > 0:12:21despite it seems quite obvious, the North Sea, Jeremy.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23The North Sea is the right answer.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Daphne, your question.

0:12:26 > 0:12:31Which country invaded Vietnam in February, 1979?

0:12:34 > 0:12:36I don't know.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Um...

0:12:38 > 0:12:41I just haven't heard this. Um...

0:12:42 > 0:12:44..Thailand?

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Pretty interesting question. I must say, I didn't know this

0:12:47 > 0:12:49had happened. It must have been a very quiet weekend.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Is it China?- China is the answer.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54So, China it was, Daphne.

0:12:54 > 0:12:55OK, Darren.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Your chance to take the lead now, Darren.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01Which general led the Texan forces against the Mexican army

0:13:01 > 0:13:04at the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto?

0:13:07 > 0:13:11I don't know whether to associate Houston...

0:13:11 > 0:13:14being with Texan.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Maybe that's something.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20I'm going to have to go for Sam Houston, Jeremy.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Sam Houston is the right answer.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Daphne, your question.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29- If you get this wrong, Daphne, we know what happens.- Yeah, out.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32So, fingers crossed for you. Here we go, Daphne.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36What was the name of the 17th-century Protestant dissenters

0:13:36 > 0:13:38who rejected the existing church,

0:13:38 > 0:13:41preferring to wait for God's revelation?

0:13:47 > 0:13:50They were the...Beseechers.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53The Beseechers, you say. Your guessing is normally so good.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56But Daphne has guessed wrong. It's not Beseechers, it's Seekers.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Well done, Darren. You're in the final round.- Thank you.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01How about that?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Maybe things are turning around now. Please come back and we'll play on.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08So, as it stands, the Beer Run Quizzers have lost two brains

0:14:08 > 0:14:12from the final round and the Eggheads have lost one.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14The next subject is Music.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- This is good, right? - This is pretty good, yeah.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21- OK. Jon against which Egghead? - Chris, I think, please.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- You've got it all worked out. - Er, there were two left.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26- LAUGHTER - That's true.

0:14:26 > 0:14:30So, Jon from the Beer Run Quizzers versus Chris from the Eggheads.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Let's see who ends up buying the ale at the end of this round.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- So, Jon, you were the man on Music. - Well, I was the man on what was left

0:14:40 > 0:14:43and a couple were still there and that was middle of the road.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47But you won an award for playing the piano when you were very young?

0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Yeah, silver medal. Silver medal. I was robbed.- Would you tell us...?

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- That was at Cambridge Festival? - Cambridge Music Festival, yeah.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58- Playing the piano. - How old were you?- 11.- 11?

0:14:58 > 0:15:02- So, you started young and all that? - Yeah, and then rugby

0:15:02 > 0:15:06and other things took over, but, yeah, I did a few grades,

0:15:06 > 0:15:10got robbed in a competition, then left it, bitterly.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12OK. Well, good luck in this Music round.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Do you want to go first or second, Jon?- I'll go first, please.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Here we go. In 2001, Something Stupid

0:15:20 > 0:15:24was a UK Christmas number one single for Robbie Williams

0:15:24 > 0:15:26and which actress?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Well, I don't believe it was Anne Hathaway

0:15:32 > 0:15:36and I certainly would have remembered if it was Cameron Diaz,

0:15:36 > 0:15:39so I'm going to go for Nicole Kidman.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43Nicole Kidman is right answer. Nicole Kidman is right. Well done.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44That's good. OK, Chris.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Which of these combinations is mentioned in the lyrics of the song

0:15:47 > 0:15:51Food, Glorious Food from the musical Oliver?

0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Hot sausage and mustard, Jeremy. - Hot sausage and mustard is correct.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Back to you, Jon.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06New Gold Dream and Once Upon A Time were hit albums

0:16:06 > 0:16:09in the '80s for which group?

0:16:13 > 0:16:17I'm not sure. Our '80s expert is Warren so he'll be...

0:16:17 > 0:16:22He'll be looking at this eagerly and reluctantly at the same time.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24I don't think it was The Housemartins.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'm going to go for Level 42.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Let me ask Warren, here. Who do you think it is?- I genuinely don't know.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33- I'd probably have gone Housemartins but...- Yeah. No, it's Simple Minds.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36We'd have all been wrong.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37OK. Chris,

0:16:37 > 0:16:41which band had a UK hit single in 1968 with Bend Me, Shape Me?

0:16:46 > 0:16:48# Shape me, any way you want me... #

0:16:48 > 0:16:50That's Amen Corner.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54Amen Corner is correct. We're whizzing along here, so...

0:16:54 > 0:16:56you do have to get this one right, Jon.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59If you get it wrong, you're out. Which cellist was the owner

0:16:59 > 0:17:03of a famous cello known as the Duport Stradivarius?

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Duport is D-U-P-O-R-T.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14I don't think it was Yo-Yo Ma.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Something rings a bell and it was from a quiz but I'm not sure.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19I may have confused myself from another quiz.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22But I'm going to go for Jacqueline du Pre.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Anyone here?- Might have been tempted by Rostropovich.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Barry says Rostropovich

0:17:28 > 0:17:31and that is the right answer. Not Jacqueline du Pre, I'm afraid.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35It is Rostropovich and that means, Chris, you've taken the round.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39Up against a superior piano player, we can say that for sure.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Jon, bad luck. You won't be in the final.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44If you both come back and rejoin your teams, we will play that final round.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48So, this is what we have been playing towards.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51It is time for that final round which, as always, is

0:17:51 > 0:17:52General Knowledge.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:17:55 > 0:17:57won't be allowed to take part in this round. So, that's Pete, Jon

0:17:57 > 0:18:00and Tom from the Beer Run Quizzers

0:18:00 > 0:18:03and also Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Would you please leave the studio?

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Well, Warren and Darren, you are playing to win

0:18:08 > 0:18:11the Beer Run Quizzers £2,000.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Chris, Barry, Pat and Judith, you are playing for something

0:18:14 > 0:18:17that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22This time the questions are all General Knowledge

0:18:22 > 0:18:25and you are allowed to confer. So, Beer Run Quizzers,

0:18:25 > 0:18:29the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:18:29 > 0:18:32- And would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first, please.

0:18:34 > 0:18:35Good luck.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39What shape is the neckline on an crewneck sweater?

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- I'd suggest it's round.- Well, I would go round.- I would go round.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49- I think V is V-necked.- Yeah. I'd go round.- OK.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51We'll go round, please.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Round is the right answer. Well done.

0:18:55 > 0:18:56OK, Eggheads.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58In radio communications and signalling,

0:18:58 > 0:19:01what is the term Wilco short for?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05- I will comply.- I will comply.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08I will comply.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09- Is that the answer?- Yes.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11I will comply is the correct answer.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- You said it in a sort of wistful way, Judith.- Did I?

0:19:14 > 0:19:19- Yes, I will comply.- I'm sorry. Do you want me to shout?

0:19:19 > 0:19:23It was like a piece of poetry or something. OK.

0:19:23 > 0:19:24Guys,

0:19:24 > 0:19:26which major British film studio

0:19:26 > 0:19:29is situated in Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire?

0:19:34 > 0:19:39- I don't think it's Elstree. I think that's further north...- OK.- ..middle.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43- OK.- I'd probably go Pinewood.- Yeah? - I'd probably go Pinewood.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46I think we'll go for Pinewood.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Pinewood is correct.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Two out of two. Well done. Eggheads, the Craven Shield

0:19:52 > 0:19:55is a major UK league cup competition in which sport?

0:19:59 > 0:20:03- I don't know this one. - No, it means nothing to me.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07There's not much ice hockey gets played.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09No, I don't think it would be ice hockey.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11It's possible it could be tennis.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Sport.- Craven Shield...

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Craven says Sheffield to me.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21What does Sheffield say to you?

0:20:21 > 0:20:24I would say Speedway Sheffield, if he says Sheffield.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26I'll go with you.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- OK.- I don't have any strong views. If you people fancy that...

0:20:29 > 0:20:32- What do you think? - Motorcycle speedway.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33They both quite like speedway.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Well, we don't know, as you can see.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39But Craven says Sheffield to Chris

0:20:39 > 0:20:42and he equates that with motorcycle speedway,

0:20:42 > 0:20:44so that's what we're going to say.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50- What are they doing in the back? - Daphne's been going...- Bananas?

0:20:50 > 0:20:51..bananas back there.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Daphne, are they right?- Yes.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55Oh. Hooray.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Well done, Chris.- Chris, well done. You've pulled it out of the fire.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Motorcycle speedway it is.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02So, it's very tight, guys.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04You've got to get this one right

0:21:04 > 0:21:05to keep the pressure on them.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Here's your question, Beer Run Quizzers.

0:21:08 > 0:21:13Which 1923 silent film was remade as a talkie in 1929

0:21:13 > 0:21:18and as a musical in 1933 with a further three sequels following?

0:21:23 > 0:21:27Unfortunately, you're on your own here.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34I can't imagine that Hunchback Of Notre Dame would have had a sequel.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Although that was a musical, but much later.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43- So I think I'll rule that one out. - Yep.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Which one...? Merry-Go-Round is too, I don't know...

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Seems too musical already.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53- I'm happy to go with...- So, I think, on the basis of nothing at all,

0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'm going to go with Gold Diggers.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Gold Diggers is the right answer. Very well played.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02These are all Daphne's questions, aren't they, Daphne?

0:22:02 > 0:22:06You know all these answers. But you're not here.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09Let's see if they fall apart without you, shall we?

0:22:09 > 0:22:12You get this one wrong, Eggheads, the contest is over.

0:22:12 > 0:22:17Which US airport was originally called the Glenn H Curtiss Airport

0:22:17 > 0:22:20after an aviation pioneer of that name?

0:22:25 > 0:22:27- I think JFK International was Idlewild.- Idlewild.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31LaGuardia is the Mayor of New York.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34- He was mayor in the '50s or '40s, wasn't he?- Yeah.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36So, it's possible. Possible.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39I think Newark is Liberty, isn't it?

0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Newark's just the name of the place. - There's a big airport there.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Liberty Airport, Newark.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49I'd be inclined to go for LaGuardia.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- So would I.- Newark's always been Newark, as far as I know.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55And JFK was Idlewild.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57So, yeah, go with LaGuardia.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01The transport correspondent thinks it's LaGuardia.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03You've said LaGuardia.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Do you think they're right? - No idea.- No idea.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10I think you've got the right logic there. JFK was Idlewild, wasn't it?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12And then Newark is Newark. Newark is a place.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Why would you un-name Glenn H Curtiss Airport and call it Newark?

0:23:15 > 0:23:19So, you're right, Eggheads. It is LaGuardia. Still in it.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22They're getting very tense. They've had some rough games, recently.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24They're trying to get back on track, but it's not easy.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Running them very close.

0:23:26 > 0:23:31We go Sudden Death. Gets a bit harder cos I don't give you alternative answers. Here we go.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Which European country is divided in two

0:23:33 > 0:23:36by a part of Bosnia and Herzegovina

0:23:36 > 0:23:39that reaches out to the Adriatic Sea?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Is this me, Mr Geography?

0:23:42 > 0:23:43Erm...

0:23:43 > 0:23:46You've got to think of...

0:23:46 > 0:23:48the Adriatic...

0:23:48 > 0:23:51the coastline down there.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54You've got Croatia, Serbia.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57I would go Croatia.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01- But it's...- OK. I have no knowledge.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03We think it's either Serbia or Croatia

0:24:03 > 0:24:05and we're going to go Croatia.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Croatia's the answer.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Well done.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Over to you, Eggheads. Again, you're standing on the ledge.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17We've been there a few times, haven't we? Getting used to heights.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20The station on the Docklands Light Railway that serves

0:24:20 > 0:24:25the University of East London Docklands campus has the same name

0:24:25 > 0:24:28as which Mediterranean island?

0:24:28 > 0:24:33- Is it Cyprus?- Cyprus.- Yeah.- Cyprus.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35That is Cyprus.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39Cyprus is correct. OK. Back to you,

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Beer Run Quizzers.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45Marti Webb had a UK top-20 single in 1986

0:24:45 > 0:24:49with Always There, a vocalised version of the theme tune

0:24:49 > 0:24:51to which TV series?

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Now...

0:24:53 > 0:24:56this might be your turn.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58I think it's Howard's Way.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01I actually... Something rings a bell with Howard's Way.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04- I can hear the tune.- Yeah. Howard's Way?

0:25:04 > 0:25:06- OK. Happy.- Howard's Way.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Howard's Way is the right answer. You're playing well!

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Excellent play.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Look at these Eggheads. They were just hoping to cruise this one

0:25:16 > 0:25:18cos they've had a real knock to their confidence

0:25:18 > 0:25:21and you're not letting them walk away here.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24If you get this one wrong, Eggheads, the contest is over.

0:25:24 > 0:25:30Which 1997 film had the working title Eggs, Beans and Chippendales?

0:25:30 > 0:25:33- The Full Monty.- It's The Full Monty?- Yeah, The Full Monty.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37- It is The Full Monty?- Yeah. - OK. Yes?- Mm-hm.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39We think that's The Full Monty.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41The Full Monty is the right answer.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Heesh!

0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Someone's got to send for the beer, haven't they?- Yes.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Here's your question. According to the proverb,

0:25:48 > 0:25:51procrastination is the thief of what?

0:25:51 > 0:25:56I think it's time. I can only think it's time.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58I will agree with what you have.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Only cos it makes sense, I'm going to go for time.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04That's right. Procrastination is the thief of time...

0:26:04 > 0:26:06as are long Sudden Death rounds.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Now, Eggheads,

0:26:08 > 0:26:11as John Major said, "When your back's against the wall,

0:26:11 > 0:26:14"it's time to turn around and start fighting."

0:26:14 > 0:26:18If you get this one wrong, it's gone. Again.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21What is the unit of currency in Sierra Leone?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25That's one of the ones I don't know. Sierra Leone.

0:26:26 > 0:26:30- That's on the West Coast of Africa. - Mm-hm.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32It's not the kwacha.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34And it was British.

0:26:36 > 0:26:37Dollar or a pound, no?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Would it be a Sierra Leone dollar or a Sierra Leone pound?

0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Sierra Leone pound is at the back of my mind.- Is it?

0:26:47 > 0:26:49It's plausible, the Sierra Leone pound.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52- I can't think of a currency that comes to mind.- Nope.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56No, think we might have to go with pound.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Are you sure they didn't change to dollar?

0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Why would they change to the dollar? - Cos, I mean, countries do.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05You think they stayed with the pound?

0:27:05 > 0:27:09Well, the Sierra Leone pound bears no relation to the British pound.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13- No. Shall we just go with that?- Yes.

0:27:13 > 0:27:18OK. With very much misgivings, we think it's the pound,

0:27:18 > 0:27:20the Sierra Leonean pound.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23You think it's the Sierra Leonean pound.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Let's see if Daphne knows back there? Daphne?

0:27:26 > 0:27:30I thought it was the leone.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33This is why it was very good to knock Daphne out.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35The answer is the leone. You've got it wrong.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38We say congratulations, Challengers. You have won.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46The beer is on the Eggheads. So, what happens?

0:27:46 > 0:27:50- When somebody loses, they buy the around?- Yeah, pretty much. - It's your round, guys.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53Well, you've had a torrid time, Eggheads. My goodness gracious me.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56Can't get started. What happened there?

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Well, did you know what the Leonean...?

0:27:58 > 0:28:01- Well, to be frank, I have been there and...- Did you know it?

0:28:01 > 0:28:04No, I didn't know and I've been there so...

0:28:04 > 0:28:07- That answers the question.- ..I've got no defence. Yes, that's true.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11But you have lost today and we say congratulations, Beer Run Quizzers.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13You've just won £2,000.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19You've proven they CAN be beaten. Join us next time on Eggheads

0:28:19 > 0:28:22to see if a new team of Challengers will be just as successful.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24Until then, goodbye.
