0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:13 > 0:00:15quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are the Carcassonne Crackers from Staffordshire.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Now, this team of friends share a passion for the game
0:00:41 > 0:00:45of Carcassonne and also enjoy taking part in quizzes.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Lynn, I'm 63 and I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Rich, I'm 62 and I'm a retired social worker.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Graeme, I'm 60, I'm a retired podiatrist.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Sue, I'm 59 and I'm a retired manager.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Ayliffe, I'm 61 and I'm a retired community paediatrician.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- So, Lynn and team, welcome. - ALL:- Thank you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I've got to ask you about Carcassonne, of course.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Is that played with balls or a net or what? I don't know!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19That could be an interesting development,
0:01:19 > 0:01:25but it's actually played with small tiles that you take turns to lay.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And as you lay the tiles, you develop a network of roads and towns
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and pastures and score points from those.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35There is an element of luck in it,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38but the reason we like it is, you can use a lot of strategy.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Did you all meet through Carcassonne or did you discover it together?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45No, we are all Morris dancers, or ex-Morris dancers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Morris dancers as well? OK! - Yeah, Morris dancers.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Gosh, you've got everything going here.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53The next question will trigger an even greater revelation!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55But I have to CRACK on with the game.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- GRAEME GROANS - Oh, dear!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I'm sorry! Every day, there is
0:02:01 > 0:02:04£1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11So, Carcassonne Crackers, the Eggheads have won the last
0:02:11 > 0:02:16two games, which means £3,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Lynn and team, are you ready to try? - Yes, we are.- I thought you were.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.- Ah!
0:02:23 > 0:02:24- Who would like this?- Ah. That's me.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Ah, it's Lynn. OK.- Yes.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Against which Egghead, Lynn?
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- Right.- Barry or Kevin, I would have thought.- Right. Barry.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Barry. Did you get Music last time?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yes, I have a chance to redeem myself.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Oh, yes, he got it last time! - Oh, chosen well!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Yeah, bit of a confidence problem over here. You may be in luck.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46So, Lynn from the Carcassonne Crackers
0:02:46 > 0:02:49against Barry from the Eggheads on Music,
0:02:49 > 0:02:50please go to the Question Room now.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Music is a good subject for you, Lynn?- Quite good.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I love music but the trouble is, I can't remember facts and dates,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01so I'll do my best.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Lynn, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I'd like the first set, please.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16whose album topped the global albums chart
0:03:16 > 0:03:20with 8.3 million sales in 2012?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Cheryl Cole is on a lot of quiz programmes,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32but I don't think she is quite as successful with her singing.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Jessie J is very successful.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39But I would have thought, as she has won awards recently,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41that Adele would be the person.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Adele.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Adele is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49OK, Barry, your question.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52According to the lyrics of Perry Como's song Catch A Falling Star,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55what should you do with a star once you've got it?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03# Catch a falling star
0:04:03 > 0:04:05# And put it in your pocket
0:04:05 > 0:04:07# Save it for a rainy day... #
0:04:07 > 0:04:09That's as much as I can go.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I've reached, unfortunately...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Oh, it's put it in your pocket, of course!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15The middle one.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Brilliant, Barry!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Absolutely brilliant and if we cut that out and put it on YouTube
0:04:20 > 0:04:23it would go viral. I've no doubt.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Put it in your pocket is the right answer.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27OK, here we go.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Lynn, let's see if you're dealing with a falling star here.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32What term is used to refer to the two numbers
0:04:32 > 0:04:35one on top of the other, which is at the start of a piece of music
0:04:35 > 0:04:38to show how many beats there are in a bar? Is it:
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Er, the time stamp, I've never heard of that in music, at all.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm not a great musician but I know a little bit.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58The time score is the whole piece of music.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02So I think the answer must be time signature.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Time signature is the right answer.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06APPLAUSE
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Two out of two, they're playing well. OK, Barry,
0:05:09 > 0:05:10see if you get this.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Who had a UK hit single in 1979 with Lucky Number? Is it?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Goodness me! I've never heard of that, Lucky Number.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It's a bad way to choose but the only name that I've heard of
0:05:27 > 0:05:29of those three is Lene Lovich.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I shall go for Lene Lovich.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- You haven't heard of the other two? - I'm afraid not.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38She's the most obscure one.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40How strange, but you're right, Lene Lovich it is.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Oh, I'm sorry about that, I don't deserve that one.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Lene Lovich is the right answer. Goodness knows how he got that.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49No justice.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50OK, your third question.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Of which of Mahler's works did Benjamin Britten remark
0:05:53 > 0:05:57that its final chord was imprinted on the atmosphere?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Er, I don't know this.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11But I'm looking to see which one would possibly be more haunting
0:06:11 > 0:06:12and more memorable.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I don't think it's going to be Songs of a Wayfarer.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18The atmosphere...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Oh...
0:06:20 > 0:06:25Erm, I'm going to choose Song of Lamentation.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Do you know this, Barry?- I thought it was The Song of the Earth.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- It is The Song of the Earth.- Oh! SHE CHUCKLES
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Barry, this will give you a place in the final round,
0:06:35 > 0:06:36if you get it right.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Gardens in the Rain is a 1903 piano work by which composer?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I can hear it playing in my head and I absolutely love this composer.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I believe it was Claude Debussy.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Do you think he's right, Lynn?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I'm sure he's right.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Yes, it is Claude Debussy, Barry.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Well done, you're in the final.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Lynn, sorry, you've been beaten by our Egghead.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05As a result, you will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Lynn and Barry, please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12As it stands, the Carcassonne Crackers
0:07:12 > 0:07:14have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17whilst the Eggheads have not lost any, so far!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Plenty of time to play, still. The next subject for you is Science.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Who would like Science?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- That'll be me.- That'll be you!- Yes.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Graeme, OK. Any Eggheads?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Who would you like? - Except, obviously, for Barry.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Would you like to play, Pat? Or, Kevin?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- I know nothing of them.- Kevin would be very good to knock out.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38They all would, actually! Who do you fancy playing yourself?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I don't know about Pat, so I'll take Pat.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Right, Pat. - I'll partner you for this dance!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46He's fantastic at Science, aren't you, Graeme?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Maybe...
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Giving him the big build-up, that's always dangerous.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54OK, Graeme from the Carcassonne Crackers against Pat, on Science.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02OK, on Science, Graeme, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I'll go first, Jeremy, I'd like to put the pressure on.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Here we go, good luck.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Written in 1979, VisiCalc is considered to be the first example
0:08:13 > 0:08:17of what type of computer program? Is it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I doubt it'll be spreadsheet.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Or web browser, because I think they're more general.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Photo editor, I think, is, er...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35What's the word I'm looking for?
0:08:35 > 0:08:40I think that's a program. I shall go for photo editor, Jeremy, please.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I can hear the Eggheads moaning over here. What does that mean?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- It's spreadsheet.- Yeah, it's a spreadsheet, Graeme.- Oh, dear.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48So spreadsheet is the answer. Pat, over to you.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53In the late 1800s, the German Wilhelm Maybach
0:08:53 > 0:08:57was an important figure in the development of what? Is it?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I think he was a business partner in the early days of Mercedes
0:09:05 > 0:09:08and he invented a carburettor.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Mercedes in the 20th century produced a super luxury limousine
0:09:13 > 0:09:16called a Maybach, so it's automobiles.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Automobiles is the right answer. Well done, Pat.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Back to you, Graeme.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Cirl, Corn, Lapland, Reed and Snow
0:09:25 > 0:09:29are all types of which bird? Graeme, is it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34This one I know. I think it's Bunting, Jeremy.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Bunting is the right answer!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I know you do a lot of, erm...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- You like to do a lot of walking, don't you?- I do, yes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43So you stay close to nature.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I've probably seen three out of the four of those.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47OK, so here we go, Pat's second question
0:09:47 > 0:09:49to take the lead.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52In medicine, what is the term for the class of drugs
0:09:52 > 0:09:57that act as a stimulant on the central nervous system?
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Oh...
0:10:07 > 0:10:08I'm not sure I've heard of this.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Antipyretics are drugs which aim to bring down your body temperature.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I think I can eliminate that.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Lepsy generally refers to sleep, and narcolepsy and catalepsy.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27So if you were stimulating the nervous system,
0:10:27 > 0:10:31presumably you'd be trying to prevent somebody being
0:10:31 > 0:10:34in a state of torpor so that's a candidate.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I don't know much about anxiolytics.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I think I'll go for the middle one, please.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Interesting answer.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Eggheads, any thoughts on this?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Yeah, sounds OK.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Yeah, on the lepsy basis?- Yeah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51And it's ana which is breaking it down into its...
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Ana means what? Against?- Yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- So against lepsy?- Or without.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You had enough to get the right answer, well done.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It is, indeed, analeptics.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- They play well, don't they, these Eggheads?- They do, very clever.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Graeme, you've got to get this answer right.- Absolutely, yeah.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11The cardia is an opening in the human body that forms part
0:11:11 > 0:11:13of which system? Is it?
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Cardia?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I don't think it's reproductive.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24The endocrine system really hasn't got an opening,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28so I think I'll go for the digestive system, Jeremy.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Well done, it is digestive.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31APPLAUSE
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Well done, indeed.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37OK, Pat, if you get this one right you're in the final.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Which element of the periodic table
0:11:39 > 0:11:44takes its name from the Greek for artificial? Is it?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Neodymium, I think, it's named after...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Is it named after a Greek God?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53No, maybe not.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56No. Bohrium is named after a person, Niels Bohr.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58The answer is technetium.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02And how do we get from technetium to artificial, out of interest?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Technology, I presume, it's the same sort of route.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Technetium is the right answer, you've taken the round.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Sorry, Graeme, you were beaten by our Eggheads.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12- But only just.- Only just.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20The Carcassonne Crackers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24The next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Well, Ayliffe, you need to choose...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Ayliffe's going to do this. - Ayliffe, definitely.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Who would you like?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Who would you recommend for Arts & Books?- Not Judith.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- So one of the other men.- Chris?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Chris?- Yes.- OK.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- I'd like to choose Chris, please. - Great stuff.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Ayliffe from the Carcassonne Crackers versus Chris.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Oh, fine.- Happy with that?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- No choice.- No choice, have I, really?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I'm quite happy with that. - Please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Ayliffe, would you like to go first, second?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Here we go, your first question.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Ayliffe, what is the French title of the 1831 novel
0:13:10 > 0:13:13usually known in English as The Hunchback of Notre Dame?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25It's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
0:13:25 > 0:13:32Notre Ami Commune is more about community and a friend, rather,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36and the hunchback was not really seen as a friend.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Alternatively, he could have been the old man of the...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42..but "mer" is sea.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Erm...
0:13:44 > 0:13:46..and Notre-Dame of Paris...
0:13:46 > 0:13:50I'll perhaps go for the middle one.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- For the middle one?- Yeah. - OK, no, it's not.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I don't understand, I thought you were ruling that out?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- No sea...- No sea, that's right, I was, really.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I didn't follow my logical thinking.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I can tell you had a moment of panic there.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Yeah, Notre-Dame de Paris.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10It was Notre-Dame de Paris.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14OK, Chris, Inspector G Lestrade appears in stories alongside
0:14:14 > 0:14:17which fictional character? Is it?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Well, he's not exactly the comic relief,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24but he is the butt of his sarcasm sometimes,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27and he appears alongside Sherlock Holmes.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Sherlock Holmes is the right answer.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32OK, Ayliffe, take your time here.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35The Vorticist art movement of the 1910s
0:14:35 > 0:14:39was primarily influenced by which other movement?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47In 1910, I don't think Pop Art
0:14:47 > 0:14:51would really have been thought in those terms.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I think that comes at a later age.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58And, similarly, Futurism.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00So...
0:15:00 > 0:15:04I think 1910 was around the time of the expressionists
0:15:04 > 0:15:08and paintings and stuff like that so I'll go, again, for the middle one.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Let me see if the Eggheads know this.- Futurism.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Futurism is the correct answer.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Chris, get this right, you're in the final round.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Which playwright and actor was widely known as The Master? Was it?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27That was Noel Coward, dear boy. Noel Coward.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Noel Coward is the right answer. You've got your place in the final.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I know you panicked on the first one, Ayliffe, don't worry.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I'm sorry you've been knocked out by Chris.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Please, both of you return to your teams and we'll play on.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43OK, as it stands, the Carcassonne Crackers have lost three brains
0:15:43 > 0:15:46from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have not lost a brain
0:15:46 > 0:15:48and the next subject is Sport.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Is that good?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Shall I do it?- I think you'd better.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- OK, I'll do it.- Maybe a chance of winning it.- OK, I'll do it.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- OK,- Rich, choose an Egghead, Judith or Kevin.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00It's Judith.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02THEY LAUGH
0:16:02 > 0:16:04There was a notable sigh here.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Don't feel guilty about this. - I don't.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Rich versus Judith from the Eggheads on Sport,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Rich, would you like to go first, second?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I'll open up the first set of questions, Jeremy.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Your first question, Rich.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Chris Hughton was appointed manager
0:16:27 > 0:16:30of which Premier League football club in 2012?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Is it?
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Well, I know that it's not Chelsea
0:16:40 > 0:16:44and that it's not Liverpool
0:16:44 > 0:16:48because I know that Chris is the manager of Norwich City.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51You've got it right, well done. Norwich City it is.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53TEAM CHEERS
0:16:53 > 0:16:55OK, I'm glad you didn't get that one, Judith...
0:16:55 > 0:16:57That's the football question out of the way.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- It would have made you so angry. - Hopefully, we won't have any more.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Well, we'll see. Rugby union for you.- Oh!
0:17:03 > 0:17:07In rugby union, the two flankers usually wear jerseys
0:17:07 > 0:17:10with the number six and which other number?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Six and eight, there's somebody in the middle. I think it's eight.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20You've given eight. Eight is wrong. Seven is right.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26You see why every time, someone chooses Judith for Sport.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- LAUGHTER - I begin to tremble.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32OK, Rich, the snooker player, Steve Davis,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34won his last world title in which year?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44I'm not too sure about this one, Jeremy.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51I think 1995 is much too late
0:17:51 > 0:17:54for his final title.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I think...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I'm going to go for...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03..1992, Jeremy.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I would have done as well and I like snooker, but it's wrong.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07It's '89.
0:18:09 > 0:18:121989. OK, Judith,
0:18:12 > 0:18:17in which sport is leg theory a controversial strategy?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Leg theory...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Well, in cricket there is a mention of legs,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Leg off and leg bye and leg this, that and the other.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Bobsledding, I suppose you kind of fend off with legs.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38And figure skating...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43You make figures with your legs.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44So it could be any of them.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46THEY LAUGH
0:18:49 > 0:18:50I've no idea.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Leg theory, leg theory...
0:18:53 > 0:18:55There are an awful lot of theories
0:18:55 > 0:18:58and discussion about statistics etc, etc with cricket,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02so they've got to talk about something for the three days
0:19:02 > 0:19:04or five days, or whatever it is.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05I think it might be cricket.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Cricket is the right answer.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11OK, so back we go to Rich.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'm sorry, you can't shake her off.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17During the 1960s and '70s, the New Zealander Chris Amon
0:19:17 > 0:19:21was a well-regarded competitor in which sport?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Was it?
0:19:25 > 0:19:30Right... Well, I know there was...
0:19:30 > 0:19:35I think a New Zealand tennis player
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and I think that he might have been Chris Lewis.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I don't think that it's tennis.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47I think that I'm going to go for...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Swimming.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Now, let me see what the Carcassonnes think about that,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- do you think that's right? - I think he's right.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- You think he's right? - I was leaning towards swimming.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00I don't know.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Shall I check with the Eggs, or is that too painful?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Eggs?- I was tempted by Formula 1, myself.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Kevin rarely gets it wrong.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Formula 1 is the right answer.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14So amazingly... No, sorry, I didn't use that word!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17So, fittingly...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Fittingly after her doughty battling in this round,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Judith has a chance to go through to the final on Sport.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27In his later years the golfer, Willie Park Jr,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31who twice won the Open, had a significant career as what?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36He sounds American.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40A lot of the most successful ones become course designers.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44So I'll say, "course designer".
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Judith, you're through to the final.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Course designer is the right answer.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Sorry, Rich.- Oh, well..
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- I know that's painful.- Yes.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55No football questions for you,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Judith, maybe that made the difference.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Yes, one football question per round is enough!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02So Judith will be in the final, Rich won't.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Please come back and join your teams and we will play that final round!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:15 > 0:21:17won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21So Lynn, Rich, Graeme and Ayliffe from the Carcassonne Crackers,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24sorry, but would you please leave the studio?
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Sue, you are playing to win the Carcassonne Crackers £3,000.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something
0:21:34 > 0:21:37that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' very precious reputation.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:43 > 0:21:46and you are allowed to confer. So Sue, the question is,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50is your one brain able to overwhelm the Eggheads' five?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It can be done. We have seen it done.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- They're all nodding behind you.- I'm sure they are!
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Here we go, good luck. During the 1980s
0:22:04 > 0:22:07who acquired the nickname, King Arthur?
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Looking at the three alternatives I don't think it was Arthur Miller.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'm pretty sure it wasn't Arthur Mullard, who I think was a comedian.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22My answer is Arthur Scargill.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24King Arthur was indeed Arthur Scargill, well done.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Well done. OK, Eggheads,
0:22:27 > 0:22:33which of these is slang for rough, uninhabited back country?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Boondocks.- Yeah. That's the right word, isn't it?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42It's Australian, isn't it?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Those are the boondocks, Jeremy.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46The boondocks is the right answer.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48One each.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Come on, Sue.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Your second question. In 2004,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Gillian Wright took on the role of which member
0:22:54 > 0:22:58of the Slater family in EastEnders?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I haven't seen EastEnders for many years
0:23:03 > 0:23:06but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Kat. I'm also...
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I don't think it was Stacey, so I'm going to say, "Jean".
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Let's go to our EastEnders correspondent, Judith.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Yes, I think it is. - Jean is the right answer.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Two out of two.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19They're loving it backstage.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Eggheads, traditionally worn by Mexican women,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25what is a rebozo?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I think, well...
0:23:32 > 0:23:37I think it's that type of patterned scarf that they wear,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- that they put around their heads. - That was my first guess.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- I don't think it's a shoe. - I'm sure it's not a shoe.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46No.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48My only slight worry is about skirt.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- I think it's the colourful... - Scarf.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Scarf.- They did seem to wear a lot when I was there.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57It's certainly not a shoe.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I don't think there is a term for skirt.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I'm happy with scarf.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06Instinctively I thought scarf, but on no knowledge.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- So...- OK?- Yeah.- Are we happy with that?- Let's just hope for the best.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11We're not 100% certain on this, Jeremy
0:24:11 > 0:24:16but we think it's the scarf that you see, the kind of shawl, almost.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Scarf is the right answer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Were they struggling there, do you think?- No, not really!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25No, I know. I was hoping they were.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- They never struggle. - They do sometimes.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31OK, so get this one right and there's a bit of pressure on them.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33If they get theirs wrong, you've won.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37The word "ambulance" is derived from
0:24:37 > 0:24:39a French word meaning what?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45I'll take this a bit slowly
0:24:45 > 0:24:47because I think I do know the answer to this one.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I'll make sure I don't say the wrong thing.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I think it's the French for walking.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Walking is your answer.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56It's a tricky one because you think, well, they go at speed,
0:24:56 > 0:24:57but walking is right.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Well done, you've got three out of three in the final round.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Eggheads...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Oh, we've been here before.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08How we like to see you sweat. Here's your question...
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Introduced by a 1997 act of Parliament,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15the road crossings that use sensors to detect pedestrians
0:25:15 > 0:25:17are known as what?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I've heard of puffin crossings.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26It's the only one of those three that I've heard of .
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I've not heard of peacocks. I've heard of puffins.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32The only one I've heard of was puffin.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I do not know what the origin of it is.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I haven't heard of peacock.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Puffin's the only one we've all heard of.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40I've heard of puffins, the same as you.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I think, probably then,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47if we haven't heard of the other two,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- I think we'll have to go for it. - Mmm. Yes.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Are we happy with that?
0:25:52 > 0:25:57We don't actually know it, but we have heard of puffin crossings,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59whereas we haven't heard of the other two.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01We'll have to go for puffin crossings.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05If you have this wrong, the game is over.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09But you're right, puffin crossings it is.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Three out of three for both, so we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14You've done really well, Sue, so far.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18A bit harder now, because I don't give you alternative answers, OK?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21During World War I, the Canadian city of Berlin
0:26:21 > 0:26:26changed its name to what because of anti-German sentiment?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I don't know the answer to this.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34So I'm going to have to take a complete guess.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39I'm just trying to think of a city that it might be.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Er... Berlin.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43World War I.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Erm...
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I'm just trying to think of somebody who was in World War I
0:26:49 > 0:26:51that the name might have been given.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Erm...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I'll say, "Montgomery".
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Interesting guess, anyone know?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- I don't know, London?- There is a city called London, Ontario.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- There's a city called Kitchener, Ontario.- Kevin said it.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- JUDITH:- Was it Kitchener? - Kitchener.- Oh, no...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- He is "Your country needs you", isn't he?...- Yes, indeed.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12So you got that one wrong, it's Kitchener.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15And, Eggheads, you have a chance to take the contest.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well fought in the final round. Let's see what happens now.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23In the 1960s, James Corrigan and Peter Fleming co-founded
0:27:23 > 0:27:26a famous variety club in which West Yorkshire town?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29It's the Batley Variety Club, surely? The Batley.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Mm, OK.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35OK, our Yorkshire correspondent says it's Batley.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Yeah, Batley is the right answer.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I wanted to delay saying that to make you sweat,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46but you knew. Barry was never going to get that one wrong.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Sue, you played really well. - Thank you.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Three correct questions, solo player,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01you take the contest. You did more than enough
0:28:01 > 0:28:06but, on this occasion, it was blooming Barry and Batley
0:28:06 > 0:28:10who just...as I say, the chance of getting that one past Barry
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- was impossible. - Less of the alliteration, though!
0:28:13 > 0:28:17So commiserations to you and your brilliant team of Morris dancing
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Carcassonne players. It's been great fun.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:22 > 0:28:24and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £3,000
0:28:27 > 0:28:30so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Join us next time to see
0:28:35 > 0:28:39if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41£4,000 says they don't.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Until then, goodbye.
