0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Robert, I'm 66 and I'm a retired tax inspector.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00My name's Barbara, I'm 60 years old and I'm a retired civil servant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04I'm Kathy, I'm 66 and I'm a retired deputy head teacher.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12So, Orpheus Choir, just tell us about the history there.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Yes, were a choir which is based in Hitchin in Hertfordshire
0:01:15 > 0:01:19and we sing performances mainly in East Anglia and the south east.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22And we take our name, The Underworld, from Orpheus In The Underworld,
0:01:22 > 0:01:27which is a famous Greek legend and opera by Offenbach.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Orpheus was...
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Well, he was a musician and poet and he went to rescue his wife.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Is that right?
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Yes, and he reputedly played the harp, or some say it was a lute.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Anyone know any more about Orpheus here?
0:01:39 > 0:01:44The legend was that he was leading his wife up from the underworld,
0:01:44 > 0:01:49but then she looked back, or rather he looked back at her
0:01:49 > 0:01:52so that caused her to go back into the underworld.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- He never got her back?- No.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55That's a bit tragic.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Well, some would welcome it.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00LAUGHTER
0:02:00 > 0:02:03All right, well, I wish you well in this exciting contest.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05How does it feel,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07looking straight down the barrel of the Eggheads here?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16so you'll catch up in due course, I'm sure.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19cash up for grabs for our challengers,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21however if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27So, The Underworld, the Eggheads have won the last three games
0:02:27 > 0:02:30which means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Would you like to start?- Of course.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Your answer is The Fugitive?- Yeah. - It's correct.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29You're kidding!
0:06:29 > 0:06:30JEREMY LAUGHS
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Where the hell did that come from?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Where did that come from?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36You're a quizzer - that's the answer.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Sabrina.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Sabrina is the right answer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Dave, you played very well. Barbara, sorry,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24you very rarely get someone go that far through Sudden Death
0:08:24 > 0:08:27without getting a wrong answer on the Eggheads' side,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30so bad luck to you. He played well, you've been knocked out,
0:08:30 > 0:08:31but you did well.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Please, both of you, come back, rejoin your teams.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39As it stands, The Underworld have lost one brain from the Final Round,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41whilst the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43The next subject is History.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Who would like this?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Why don't you take History?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I know Robert's good at history...
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Not desperately.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Not desperately. Robert. Robert.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56I've been volunteered.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00OK, Robert, it's you against which Egghead?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Kevin, I think.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- THEY OOH - Oh, very good.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06He did... Am I allowed to say this?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Yeah, go on. You might as well.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- It's two, isn't it?- Two.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13He's been beaten in History twice recently.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17The significance of that is that up until those defeats
0:09:17 > 0:09:18he hadn't ever...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21He'll be trying harder, won't he?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Oh, yeah, he's still as good as ever.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25It'll be fun to see you take him on.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Robert from The Underworld versus Kevin from the Eggheads
0:09:28 > 0:09:30on History, and to ensure there's no conferring, please,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32go to the Question Room.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Robert, we're seeing quite a bit of this -
0:09:35 > 0:09:39teams taking on the Eggheads on subjects on which they're
0:09:39 > 0:09:41strongest, you've just done that with Kevin.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44It might be a good decision, it might not,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46we'll find out in a couple of minutes.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48We're calling it the frontal assault technique
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- It's worked a couple of times, hasn't it?- It has, yes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53You dislodge Kevin on History,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56you create complete panic on the Eggheads' side.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58That's the desired effect.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Robert, would you like to go first or second?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01I will try second, please.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Here we go, Kevin, with your first question.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08What nickname was given to the women's
0:10:08 > 0:10:12branch of the Royal Navy, set up in 1917?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18That was the origin of the Wrens.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Wrens is correct. Over to you, Robert.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24In the English examination system,
0:10:24 > 0:10:29what replaced the Higher School Certificate in 1951?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37I was a bit young in those days, so it's not memory.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42My thoughts are, in Scotland, the Lowers are the GCSEs
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and the Highers are A-Levels equivalent.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'm going to go for A-Levels.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49A-Levels is correct.
0:10:52 > 0:10:58Kevin, in 865AD, the Viking leader Ivar The Boneless
0:10:58 > 0:11:01and his army invaded which part of Britain?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08They came in through East Anglia.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11East Anglia is correct.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Here's your question, Robert.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Thoth was one of the more important deities
0:11:17 > 0:11:19in which ancient civilisation's religion?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Many years ago, I floated down the Nile on a holiday
0:11:28 > 0:11:32and I think that sounds familiar as one of the gods
0:11:32 > 0:11:36we heard about in Egypt, so I'll go for the Egyptians.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Egyptian is correct.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43We've got some very good quizzers on the challengers' side here.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Kevin, who was the only monarch whose birth
0:11:45 > 0:11:49and death both took place at Buckingham Palace?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Right, I'll be a little bit careful with this, just in case.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Effectively, as the royal residence, Buckingham Palace was taken...
0:12:05 > 0:12:09It's really with Victoria's reign that that begins.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I'm just thinking...
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Edward VII certainly died at Buckingham Palace,
0:12:15 > 0:12:16was he born there?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21The other two were too early for Buckingham Palace.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Edward VII.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Edward VII is correct.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Robert, he's got three cos you let him go first.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32You need to get this one or you are out.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36The First Kandyan War which began in 1803,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40saw British forces fighting in which modern-day country?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Could you spell Kandyan?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Of course - K-a-n-d-y-a-n.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Kandyan.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I'm pretty sure Kandy is a town in Sri Lanka, so I'll go for Sri Lanka.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Sri Lanka is correct.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Very, very good.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04OK, Sudden Death. We start with Kevin.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I don't give you alternative answers, Kevin,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08here's your question.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10What was the first name of Lord Allenby,
0:13:10 > 0:13:16the soldier who led the Egyptian Expeditionary Force in World War I?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18His first name was Edmund.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Edmund is correct.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Over to you, Robert.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25What is the name of the dynasty of rulers
0:13:25 > 0:13:28of the Magadha state in northeastern India,
0:13:28 > 0:13:33who maintained an empire over the north and parts of central
0:13:33 > 0:13:39and western India from the early 4th to the late 6th century?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Are we looking at the Mughals?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I think that's what I'd go for - the Mughal Empire.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47The Mughals. OK.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48See if Kevin knows this one.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Gupta.- Gupta is the answer.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56So, they produced, apparently, the decimal system of notation
0:13:56 > 0:13:59and lots of Hindu art.
0:13:59 > 0:14:014th-6th century, the Gupta, Robert.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I'm sorry, you took on a very doughty player, though, in Kevin
0:14:05 > 0:14:08and you have been knocked out - Kevin will be in the final.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15As it stands, The Underworld have lost two brains
0:14:15 > 0:14:16from the Final Round,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19whilst the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Bit of a sense of Orpheus's wife slipping away here.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Need to turn it round.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Who would like this?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Do you want me to?- I don't fancy it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- OK. I'll try.- Go for it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I hope Sport and Food & Drink don't come up.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Um...
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Arts & Books.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Which Egghead would you like, Judith, Daphne or Chris?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Daphne, please.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Kathy versus Daphne - The Underworld versus the overlord.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Over-lady! - Over-lady, I'm so sorry.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53And to be sure there's no conferring,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Arts & Books, Kathy, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Which of these artists did Salvador Dali meet in Paris in 1926?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Don't think it was El Greco.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I think it's Pablo Picasso.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It is indeed Pablo Picasso. Well done.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Daphne, you well today?
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Yes, thank you.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33OK. Here we go with your question.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36What is the name of the main character in Thomas Hardy's
0:15:36 > 0:15:38novel The Mayor Of Casterbridge?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47It is Michael Henchard.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Michael Henchard is correct.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53OK.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Kathy, "the scent and smoke and sweat
0:15:56 > 0:16:00"of a casino, nauseating at three in the morning,"
0:16:00 > 0:16:03is the opening sentence of a 1953 novel by which writer?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I'm thinking of the word casino...
0:16:14 > 0:16:17which makes me think about James Bond.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I think I'll go with Ian Fleming.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23- Is this Casino Royale?- Yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It is Casino Royale and it is Ian Fleming.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Daphne, in which decade was Arthur Miller's play
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Death Of A Salesman first performed on stage?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I think it was the 1940s.
0:16:49 > 0:16:501940s is right.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Well done. Would have been easy to go '60s there, wouldn't it?
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Two each, Kathy, your third question.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02What is the title of Haruki Murakami's novel
0:17:02 > 0:17:05published in English in 2011?
0:17:13 > 0:17:142011.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16I have no idea.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20This is going to be the worst sort of guess.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25I think I'll go for IQ84.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It's 1Q84, but you've got it right!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Well done, that was a good guess.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35That's a Daphne-sized guess.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37She's very good at her guessing.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Daphne, your question - if you get this wrong, you'll be out.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Which member of The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood painted
0:17:45 > 0:17:48the mid-1850s work The Scapegoat?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Oh...
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I think it's Holman Hunt.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06William Holman Hunt is the right answer.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Three points each.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Very tight these rounds.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13OK, Kathy, let's see if you can be the first one through.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Sudden Death, I don't give you alternatives, so it's a bit harder.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20What is the English title of the Italian novel
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Il Gattopardo by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Gatto's something to do with cat in Italian.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30I think.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Don't know, cant make even a guess.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39See if Daphne knows.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Um, The Leopard.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42The Leopard is the right answer.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Your cat thing was very...
0:18:44 > 0:18:47You were getting into the right zone there.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Daphne, if you get this right you've taken the round.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55The subject of which of Keats's odes is addressed as,
0:18:55 > 0:19:00"Thou still unravished bride of quietness.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03"Thou foster-child of silence and slow time."?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07A Grecian Urn.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Grecian Urn is correct.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Kathy, sorry, she has beaten you there again.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14You're talking on these very good fighters
0:19:14 > 0:19:16and you won't be in the Final Round.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Both of you, come back, rejoin your team mates and we'll play on.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22As it stands,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25The Underworld have lost three brains from the Final Round,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27the Eggheads have still not lost a brain,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29although you've been run close, haven't you?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Very good games.- Very good game.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34The next subject is Geography.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Who would like this?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I think Phil.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Do you prefer that to General Knowledge?
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Yeah.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44OK, Phil the railwayman against which Egghead?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I think I can guess.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Yes. Chris.- I'll take Chris.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52OK, so the two train spotters.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Railwaymen!
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Phil from The Underworld versus Chris from the Eggheads -
0:19:58 > 0:20:00the two railwaymen.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04To ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Phil, you did 35 years on the railway.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I did, yes.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Started at King's Cross, ended up in King's Cross.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Was that near where you were, Chris?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I was a fireman at Hornsey in the very early days, yeah.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17And then on the Tubes?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Yeah. '70, I went on the I went on the Tube,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21'83, I packed the Tube in, managed to get back on the Main Line,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24wound up driving out of Paddington of all places.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26You've got a deep love of the railways, I know, Chris.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- What about you, Phil?- Oh, yes, I'm an enthusiast.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Phil, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:31 > 0:20:32I think I'll go first, please.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Here is your question.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40What appears in the centre of the Japanese flag?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Well, I went to Japan and travelled all over
0:20:47 > 0:20:52the country by train not long ago and I think I remember a red disc.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Red disc is the right answer.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59One of the most recognisable flags in the world, isn't it?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Chris, Portugal has a coastline on which ocean?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06That's the Atlantic, Jeremy.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Atlantic is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Back to you, Phil.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Quoddy Head State Park,
0:21:12 > 0:21:18containing the easternmost point of mainland USA, is in which state?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Well, I don't think it's Florida.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29I don't know the place, I'm just imagining the map
0:21:29 > 0:21:31in my head at the moment.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I think I'll go for Maine.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You've got it right. Well done.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Maine it is.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Chris, onto you.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Fort-de-France is the capital of which Caribbean island?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56That's Martinique, Jeremy.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- No doubt?- Mm.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Martinique is right.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Here we go, back with The Underworld.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06The French village of Carnac in Brittany is
0:22:06 > 0:22:11renowned for having one of the world's most notable sites for what?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I have an idea it's standing stones.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- You seen them?- No.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26You've got it right though, well done.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Three out of three again.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Back on Chris - Geography.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35The Kip is the official currency of which Asian country?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Mm.- K-i-p.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Well, Thailand's the Baht.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's down to Laos or Cambodia.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Cambodia.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Eggheads...?- Laos.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Laos they all say, Chris, you've got it wrong.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Hey, Phil, you're in the Final Round...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04..on a question to which the answer was Laos.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06You played very well indeed.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Come back to us, both of you, and we will play that final.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13So this is what we've been playing towards, it is
0:23:13 > 0:23:17time for the Final Round, which, as always is General Knowledge.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:23:19 > 0:23:22allowed to take part in this round,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25so Robert, Barbara and Kathy from The Underworld
0:23:25 > 0:23:29and Chris from the Eggheads, would you, please, now leave the studio?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Martin and Phil, you are playing to win The Underworld £4,000.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Judith, Kevin, Dave and Daphne, you're playing for something
0:23:38 > 0:23:42that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn, this time the
0:23:45 > 0:23:49questions are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51So, Martin and Phil, the question is,
0:23:51 > 0:23:56are your two brains able to take on and defeat the Eggheads' four?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01We'll go second.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Here we go with your first question.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Which actor had a number two single in the UK with Under The Boardwalk?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- ALL:- Bruce Willis.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20That was Bruce Willis.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Bruce Willis is correct.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Wow! Couldn't have got that. Would you have got that?
0:24:25 > 0:24:26- I wouldn't.- No.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33In which country did the brothers Joan, Josep and Jordi Roca
0:24:33 > 0:24:38open their Michelin-starred restaurant in 1986?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Belgium, Spain or Italy.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I wouldn't say Italy.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46No.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I don't fancy Spain somehow.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- I'd go for Spain. - You'd go for Spain?- Mm.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Right, we're going to go for Spain.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Spain is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03Eggheads, ypsilon is the German name for which letter of the alphabet?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Ypsilon - that's Y-P-S-I-L-O-N.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Could you spell it again, Jeremy?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Ypsilon - Y-P-S-I-L-O-N,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18is the German name for which letter of the alphabet?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20It must be Y, mustn't it?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Ypsilon is Y.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Yes, it's Y.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Y is correct.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30That's an interesting one, wasn't it?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Did you think you were being tricked there?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35There's a letter of the Greek alphabet, which is epsilon,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38which actually is an E and so you have to be careful.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Ay-ay.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43That shows a low cunning.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47OK. Your question, Underworld.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Which member of the England 1966 World Cup football squad
0:25:52 > 0:25:57was appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of Northumberland in 1997?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Northumberland. - Got to be Jack Charlton.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Got to be Jack Charlton, surely.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14We're going on the basis that it's Northumberland - Jackie Charlton.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Jack Charlton is quite right.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Well done - two each.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Tight contest this, all the way through as well.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23OK, Eggheads, your third question, which can be crucial.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28In the Medieval verse relating to falconry, which begins,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31"An eagle for an emperor,"
0:26:31 > 0:26:34which bird of prey was suitable for a lady?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Merlins traditionally are ladies...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Kestrel is for a knave.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Merlin is traditionally women, ladies.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Yes.- Falcon.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Merlin?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Yeah.- That's a Merlin.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Merlin is the right answer.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Playing in a very sure-footed way, aren't they?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Because you let them go first, you must get this one,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08otherwise the contest is over.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Which lawyer wrote the book Reversal Of Fortune about the
0:27:11 > 0:27:17successful appeal and subsequent acquittal of Claus von Bulow?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26I haven't the foggiest idea.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31I think we're struggling on this one.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Erm...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I just don't know.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I'd go for Robert Kardashian, but I don't know.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Would you?- I really don't know.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Robert Kardashian.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I fancy Dershowitz.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You want to go for Robert Kardashian?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Go on.- We'll go for Robert Kardashian.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54I'm afraid to say the answer is Alan Dershowitz.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Ah!
0:27:55 > 0:27:59It was there but then you moved away.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Back luck to you. Commiserations to The Underworld.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Hope you enjoyed playing. - We had a great time.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16The three customers at the back there ran very tight rounds,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18it's a shame you didn't get more in the final.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:21 > 0:28:24and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It does mean you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Who will beat you?
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see
0:28:34 > 0:28:37if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat
0:28:37 > 0:28:40the Eggheads - £5,000 says they don't.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Till then, goodbye.
