0:00:04 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are the Business Belles, from Hertfordshire.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This team of friends regularly quiz together at their local pubs,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46The King Will and The King Harry, in St Albans.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm June. I'm 45 and I run an advertising agency.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Frances. I'm 54 and I own a PR company.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Sarah. I'm 56 and I'm a solicitor.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Alexis. I'm 56 and I'm a management consultant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Julia. I'm 57, a retired police officer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10June and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12So, business connections here?
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Yeah, absolutely.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- This is the network. - This is where it is.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- This is where it's at. - This is where it all happens.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Not only business, but quizzing, as well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Absolutely.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- So where do you quiz, June? - A variety of places.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Mostly The King Will and The King Harry pubs in St Albans,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31because they've got a bar and they've got a quiz.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33That combination seems to work for us.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35We're a little bit competitive, aren't we, ladies?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Just a little.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- I'm sensing that already. - Just a smidge.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Just to show that this is a team with a lot of gumption,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47you once became Leo Sayer's backing singer, backing act or what?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49A combination of both.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52It was a happy accident, maybe not for Mr Sayer, but it was for me.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54It was at the Business Awards in Harlow.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57He wasn't getting the sort of reaction I hoped he would,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59so I helped him. Well, "helped" him
0:01:59 > 0:02:02by joining him on stage.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And going behind him and going, way.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Yes. There was some of this...
0:02:06 > 0:02:08You know the thing. You know the type.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I bet it worked, as well.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12It did. They loved him.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14OK, well, you can do that to your team, if you start to fall behind.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Why, thank you.- Absolutely.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It might not even be necessary. Good luck against the Eggheads.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So, Business Belles, the Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33which means £6,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Do you want to crack on? - ALL: Yes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Who would like this?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Politics, ladies. How do we feel about that?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Who's the strong one on Politics?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Politics. It's probably going to be me. What do you think?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- I think it's going to have to be me. - I think it is. The lovely Sarah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- OK. - Sarah will be playing on Politics.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Sarah against which Egghead? Any one of them.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Mm, tough one, isn't it? - I would like to quiz Chris.- Yes.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I think you should, then.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Then you get Chris. Chris, please. - You absolutely can.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Sarah from the Business Belles against our own belle over here.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Brighton Belle.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10LAUGHTER
0:03:10 > 0:03:11To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14please take your positions in the question room.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Your choice, Sarah, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I'll go first, thank you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Here we go.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26The 2012 Draft Communications Data Bill,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29which permitted monitoring of people's online activities,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31was given what popular name?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Well, as a lawyer I should know the answer to this question,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42but I don't think I do.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I'm not sure it's going to be Square Deal.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Or Sharing Violation. So I think I'm going to go for Snooper's Charter.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Snooper's Charter is quite right. Well done.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Chris, your question.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05In February 2013, basketball player Dennis Rodman
0:04:05 > 0:04:08made a controversial visit to which world leader?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It wouldn't be Kim Jong-un, would it? He's North Korea.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21It is. It is him.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Beyonce and her husband were in trouble going to Castro.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31So Dennis Rodman must have gone to visit Robert Mugabe.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33No, no, no, no.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36It's the one you ruled out completely firmly.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- It's Kim Jong-un.- Yeah.- Kim Jong-un.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41There we go.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Sarah, the Office of Budget Responsibility
0:04:43 > 0:04:48is a public body that was formally created under whose premiership?
0:04:52 > 0:04:58I don't think it was John Major. I think that's probably too early.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59I'm not sure.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I think, probably, Tony Blair.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm going to go for Tony Blair.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I think it's the right time.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12No, actually it was more recent. David Cameron, the OBR.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Your question, Chris.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14In 2010,
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Labour MP Stella Creasy began a campaign against which of these?
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Well, bedroom tax is recent - sort of, 2013 Budget, isn't it?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Payday loan companies only really started coming under
0:05:35 > 0:05:39the cosh in, what, early 2013?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Before that, they were more or less tolerated. I think...
0:05:43 > 0:05:47..Ms Creasy is campaigning against the HS2 Rail line.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Do you know this?- We think it's HS2.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54No, he's not right. It's payday loan companies.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Chris, two out of two wrong. How often do we see that
0:05:57 > 0:06:01from Chris? With one point, Sarah, if you get this one right,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04you will be in the final round, you'll have knocked him out.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08In March 2013, Liberal Democrat MP Mike Thornton
0:06:08 > 0:06:11took his seat in the Commons after winning a by-election
0:06:11 > 0:06:13in which constituency?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22OK, I don't remember this by-election, at all.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I don't think it was Forest of Dean.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31My instinct is to go for Eastleigh,
0:06:31 > 0:06:35but Dagenham and Rainham is drawing me in.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'm not really sure.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I'll go for Eastleigh.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44JEREMY LAUGHS
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I think that they were transmitting their thoughts to you
0:06:46 > 0:06:50from this side of the studio, cos you're right.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yeah, it's Eastleigh. Sarah, you got it right.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Eastleigh is the answer.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59That means, Chris, with no points on the board,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01you are not in the final round. I'm sorry.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Sarah is. Good start for the Challengers here.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Do please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10So, interesting start.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14The Business Belles have not lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16The Eggheads have lost a brain. They've lost Chris.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17The next subject for you is Music.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Mm, Music. I think it's got to be you.- Yeah, I'll do it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23The lovely Frances, please.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Frances, against which Egghead? There they all are.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Not Chris, obviously.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- I think it's only got to be one.- It's got to be Daphne. She's my heroine.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34It's got to be Daphne. I shall happily lose against Daphne.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38OK, so Frances from the Business Belles against Daphne her heroine.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43But that won't take the edge off Daphne's performance. She is steel.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45And fiercely competitive.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48She looks like a really nice grandmother
0:07:48 > 0:07:49and she's like a lethal weapon, Daphne.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Then, the handbag comes out.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Frances, first or second set of questions?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Here we go. Good luck.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Which of these had a number of UK hit singles in the early 1980s?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Ah, now that's interesting.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20I...
0:08:20 > 0:08:27I thought Fame was possibly earlier than that, unless it was the TV show.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I had no idea that the kids from Dallas had any music.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Kids From Cheers? There weren't any kids in Cheers.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I think I'm going to go for The Kids From Fame.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Well done.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I was worried you were drifting into another decade for a second.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Kids From Fame, of course, with Irene Cara and all that.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50OK, Daphne, in March 2013, it was announced
0:08:50 > 0:08:53that which female singer would represent the UK
0:08:53 > 0:08:56at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Oh, yes. It's Bonnie Tyler.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- It is, indeed, Bonnie Tyler. - Yeah, she's Welsh.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12She's Welsh. Yes, she is. Yeah, yeah.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13OK.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Frances, which Tom Jones hit begins with the line,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19"Love is like candy on a shelf."?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I'm trying to sing it to myself.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30It's... I think it's Help Yourself.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Yeah. It's not an easy question. You're quite right there.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Help Yourself, it is.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Thank you.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Daphne, the name of which city is the title of a song
0:09:41 > 0:09:43in the musical Evita?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It must be Buenos Aires.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- You look confused. - Yes. I was trying to remember it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I've only seen Evita once.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I just assumed you were doing nothing but watching musicals.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Is it Buenos Aires?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- It is Buenos Aires. Well done.- Oh, good.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14OK, so two each. Third question.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Frances, at the age of 18, the composer Hector Berlioz
0:10:18 > 0:10:23was sent by his father to Paris to study which subject?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30I, sort of, suspect it's not accountancy.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34I think it might have been law or medicine.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Fathers always seem to want to send their sons...
0:10:38 > 0:10:40..into medicine or law, so I'm...
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Medicine or law.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I'm drawn to medicine, so I'll just say medicine.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Yeah, superb play. You're right.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- No.- Medicine, it is.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Daphne, here you go. You're on the edge here. You're teetering, Daphne.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58If you get this wrong, you're out.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02"I Really Didn't Mean It" and "Give Me The Reason"
0:11:02 > 0:11:06were UK hit singles in the late 1980s for which singer?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Well, the only one I've heard of is Luther Vandross,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20so I'm really sorry, team, but that's my answer.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Well, Challengers, is she right?- She is.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26She does this all the time. Well done, Daphne.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It is Luther Vandross.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I hadn't heard of the other two. Sorry.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32We go to sudden death, Frances.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternative answers.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Here we go with your first question.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40A live version of Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
0:11:40 > 0:11:43went to the UK number one spot in 1991
0:11:43 > 0:11:45for Elton John and which singer?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Oh, my goodness.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Oh, I know he had a hit with Kiki Dee,
0:11:53 > 0:11:54but I don't think it was that one.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57I really don't know.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Oh, was it George Michael?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It's a guess. I'm going to say George Michael.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Elton made a guest appearance at a George Michael concert. Well done.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- No.- George Michael.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12You're playing a very good game here,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16challengers - Business Belles. Daphne, over to you.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Life In A Beautiful Light, released in 2012,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21is the third studio album
0:12:21 > 0:12:24by which female Scottish singer-songwriter?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Kate Nash.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- You said Kate Nash. Eggheads? - Is it Amy McDonald?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Amy McDonald is the answer. - Oh, right.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Daphne.- I'm out. - No easy way to say it, you are gone.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Well done, Frances. - I can't believe it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Wow. - Ooh, this is hotting up, isn't it?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51They haven't had a contest like this for a while, I can tell you.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53You've won the first two rounds.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Please, both of you, come back to us and we will play on.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00So, as it stands the Business Belles have not lost a brain
0:13:00 > 0:13:02from the final round yet.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06The Eggheads have lost two. The next subject is Science.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Who would like Science?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I think that's me, isn't it?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- OK, Alexis. Against which Egghead? - Right, which Egghead?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Dave or Kevin or Judith. Has to be one of these three here.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Judith isn't very good on Science.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I think I'll have Judith, please.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- I thought I heard that coming. - LAUGHTER
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- You put your scientific look on, as well. It didn't work.- Oh, did I?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Yeah, that laboratory gaze.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Alexis from the Business Belles versus Judith from the Eggheads,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39on Science, please both of you go to our question room now.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43So, Alexis, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I think I'll go second, please.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50OK, here we go.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Judith, hyperemesis gravidarum is often considered to be
0:13:55 > 0:13:59an extreme form of which condition associated with pregnancy?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07I think it's what Kate had, which is morning sickness.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Extreme morning sickness.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12It is indeed morning sickness. You're right.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Can be very nasty indeed.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18Alexis, hertz was the new name given to which of these units after 1960?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I know that. It's cycles per second.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Cycles per second is right.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Judith, what name was given to Apollo 12's lunar module,
0:14:34 > 0:14:39which became the second manned spacecraft to land on the moon?
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Well, "The Eagle has landed,"
0:14:43 > 0:14:48was what they said when the first man landed on the moon.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Maybe it was Eagle Two. It definitely wasn't Challenger.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I'm hoping it was Eagle Two, as it were.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- If the first one was Eagle and the second one was Eagle Two...- Yes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04..wouldn't it say Eagle Two down here? Just a thought.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Well, they might have just said, "The Eagle has landed again."
0:15:06 > 0:15:08You had all the information there.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11It was not Challenger, it was Intrepid.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14So Intrepid is the answer. You're wrong.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Alexis, to take the lead.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20The planet Uranus was discovered in 1781
0:15:20 > 0:15:25using a telescope in the garden of a house in which city?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Gosh, I've got no idea.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Three Bs aren't very helpful, either, are they?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I don't know why, I'm being rather drawn to Bath.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I don't think it would be Birmingham.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I wonder if it might have been Brighton.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47But I'm really...
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I'm really being drawn to Bath, so I think I'm going to say Bath.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Excellent. Bath is correct.- Oh, wow.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Anyone on the Egghead side know any more about this?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00It was Herschel. William Herschel. You can actually visit the house.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- It's a museum now. - He was just a citizen, was he?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Yeah, effectively.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08At different times in his career, he had government grants
0:16:08 > 0:16:09of one sort or another.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12But, yeah, he was just a very keen astronomer.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14He was living in Bath at the time.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15There we are.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17We know everything now, Judith. It's been explained by Kevin.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21You need to get this next question right or you also
0:16:21 > 0:16:24will have been deposed from your seat on high.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Here's the question.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Which organisms are commonly made up of filaments known as hyphae?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Yes, um...
0:16:36 > 0:16:37I know about... Ah...
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I don't think it's viruses, anyhow.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Is it attached...?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Oh, dear. I'm having a blank moment.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Really annoying.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I think I'm going to say Fungi.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Fungi is the right answer. - Oh, thank goodness for that.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02So...it's level,
0:17:02 > 0:17:06but you can get in the final by just getting this one right, Alexis.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10In 1799, the government purchased the collection of John Hunter
0:17:10 > 0:17:13and presented it to which institution
0:17:13 > 0:17:15where it is now on display in a museum?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I'm going to guess that it probably wasn't...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28It's probably not the Royal College of Nursing.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I'm saying that just because it's John Hunter a male.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Don't know whether that makes any sense or not.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Again, I'm being drawn to the Royal College of Surgeons,
0:17:43 > 0:17:49because I'm wondering if it's a collection of surgical equipment.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Erm...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55I think I'm going to go for the Royal College of Surgeons.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Royal College of Surgeons is the right answer.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58You've taken the round.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Oh, wow.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Three in a row. Judith, I'm sorry, you're not in the final round.- No.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08It's a bit of a trend, isn't it?
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Seems to be.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13OK. Let's see how the Challengers do, as we play on.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Please, both of you, come back to us.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17As it stands,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21the Business Belles still have not lost a brain from the final round.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22The Eggheads have lost three.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Could we get into a situation where there only is one Egghead left?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27That very rarely happens.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30The next subject is Sport. Who would like this?
0:18:30 > 0:18:31CHALLENGERS LAUGH
0:18:34 > 0:18:35I'll go.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41That sounds fantastic news. I'd love that, Jeremy, thanks.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46June on Sport. OK, so June against either Dave or Kevin.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49You're both too lovely, aren't you? As I'm going to crash and burn,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I'm going to crash and burn against Kevin, I think.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53All right. I understand that logic.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57June from the Business Belles versus Kevin from the Eggheads, on Sport.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04OK, June, so you've got to now crush Kevin on Sport.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Yeah, it's going to happen. It's going to happen. Yeah, yeah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12There have only been, in the past on Eggheads, seven occasions
0:19:12 > 0:19:15where they have been reduced to a single player in the final.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Yeah, yeah.- It doesn't happen very often, but it's handy when it does.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Keep my fingers crossed.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I'd love to just get right on with it. First, please.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28OK, here we go. Good luck.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Which of these is a position in a rugby union team?
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Mm, rugby.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Sarah, is a rugby fan. She would know this.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Is she screaming an answer? Probably.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Outside centre.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49That sounds possible. Inside outer.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Sounds like something you would do to socks, possibly. I'm not loving that.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Sarah's shouting.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Nearside header.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I'm going to go with my not gut reaction,
0:20:00 > 0:20:07cos there is no skill here whatsoever, outside centre.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Well done, you've got it right.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09JUNE LAUGHS
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Thanks.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13The force is with you.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16OK, Kevin, which driver, Kevin,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19won the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21the first Formula 1 race of the 2013 season?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I believe that was Kimi Raikkonen.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33It was, indeed, Kimi Raikkonen.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Too much to ask him just to trip up on that first question, wasn't it?
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Yeah.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39OK. Back to you, June.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Who became New Zealand's test cricket captain in 2012?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Now, I'm not even sure you have to be from the country to do this job.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54But I'm going to go with that. Who sounds like a Kiwi?
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Mr Vettori doesn't.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I can't hear anyone screaming at me.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Brendon McCullum sounds kind of Australasian.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09So does Stephen Fleming.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14So...gut reaction. I'm going with Mr McCullum.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Brendon McCullum.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Let's see what your team think.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Well, we're not sure, but we're hoping it's right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Quite a bit of collective sporting knowledge
0:21:22 > 0:21:23on this side of the studio.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Brendon McCullum is the right answer.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Oh, the power of positive thinking, isn't it?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Lesson for us all.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37OK, Kevin, which British boxer unsuccessfully challenged
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Vitali Klitschko for the WBC Heavyweight title in February 2012?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I think Haye lost against one of the Klitschkos,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53possibly the previous year. I think this one...
0:21:55 > 0:21:58..was actually Dereck Chisora. I think this was Chisora.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Chisora is your answer. Dereck Chisora is correct.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02OK, so you're right with that, Kevin.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Again, June, I can only apologise for the fact
0:22:06 > 0:22:08that they are the Eggheads.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09They are.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11The third question can be crucial. Here's yours.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12In February 2013,
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Paolo Di Canio quit as manager of which League One football team?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I've got a funny feeling it was a London team,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27which only leaves Leyton Orient.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32But I don't know if any of them are in that league,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35but then I don't know anything about any of the leagues.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39So really, pot luck. I'm going to go with Leyton Orient, please.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42No, it's Swindon Town.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Swindon Town. I think maybe there is a London connection.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- He played for West Ham. That might have been...- That's what I meant.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49..what took you in that direction.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Swindon Town is the answer.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Kevin has the chance to book his place in the final round.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Here's your question, Kevin, for the round.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59In which sport is Vincenzo Nibali a famous name?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I think he's a prominent cyclist. Cycling.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Cycling is the right answer, Kevin. You're in the final round.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Maybe he's turning the tide for the Eggheads, let's see. June, sorry.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16The skipper's been knocked out. It's been going well so far.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Please come back to us and we will play that final.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Well, what's going to happen now.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23This is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It is time for the final round,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:29 > 0:23:31won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33So that's June from the Business Belles,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37and also Judith, Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Would you please leave the studio?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44So, Frances, Sarah, Alexis and Julia,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47you are playing to win the Business Belles £6,000.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:23:50 > 0:23:52the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57This time, the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00You are allowed to confer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Business Belles, the question is
0:24:01 > 0:24:05can your four brains overhaul the Eggheads two here
0:24:05 > 0:24:09and continue the bashing you've meted out so brilliantly?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- We'll try.- It's made this programme so entertaining today.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Would you like to go first or second?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15What do you think? First?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17We're going to go first, Jeremy.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Here we go, and all the very best.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25What name is usually given to an individual leaf of grass?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Blade. It's blade, definitely.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35We think that's a blade, Jeremy.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Blade is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Eggheads, over to you.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45According to the popular version of the nursery rhyme Rub-a-dub-dub,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47how many men are in the tub?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Three men in a tub. - It's three.- Three men in a tub.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Rub-a-dub-dub...- Three men in a tub.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00We believe that's three men in a tub, Jeremy.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03That was one of the funniest conversations you two have had...
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- LAUGHTER - ..in the history of Eggheads.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- It was just beautiful.- It probably made more sense than most of them.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Yeah, brilliant.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Three is the right answer.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18OK, in 1936, Billy Butlin opened the first of his holiday camps
0:25:18 > 0:25:23on a former sugar beet field near which seaside town?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- I think it was Skegness. - Because sugar beet is Lincolnshire.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Yeah, that's true. - I think it's Skegness.- Skegness.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Are you happy?- Yes.- Morecambe's on the west coast. Whitley Bay.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42There isn't a Butlins on Morecambe or Whitley Bay, anyway.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Oh, you've been.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45I used to work for them.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Oh, did you?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Actually, there might be one in Morecambe. Anyway, Skegness.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53We're saying Skegness.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Skegness is the right answer. Two out of two, well done.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Eggheads, what type of geological feature is the Calderone in Italy?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07C-A-L-D-E-R-O-N-E.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11That'll be a volcano, then.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16Yeah, a calderone is a volcanic crater, so it must be a volcano.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18We believe that's a volcano, Jeremy.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23The Calderone is a volcano, you say. Do you think they're right?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- No, we think it's a hot spring. - How interesting.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Oh, look at the panic here.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31- It's not a hot spring.- Oh.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It's not a volcano, either. It's a glacier.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Oh, right.- Really?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Well, we did that on the basis that caldero
0:26:40 > 0:26:42is a word for a volcanic crater, so...
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Very unusually, you somewhat snatched at it, Eggheads.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Well, there was never a... - Never a doubt.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Never a doubt about that, no.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- This is looking good. - Very interesting!
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- OK, so...- We need to get this one.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Exactly. If you get this one right,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02they don't even have another chance, the contest is over.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03They can't come back.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05If you get this one right, you've won the jackpot.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07No pressure.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09June has here fingers crossed back there.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Here's your question -
0:27:10 > 0:27:13who wrote the novel The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22It's definitely not Rose Tremain.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24It's definitely not Kate Mosse.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25It's Deborah Moggach.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26She wrote an article
0:27:26 > 0:27:28about meeting somebody
0:27:28 > 0:27:29over the age of 60.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30It's Deborah Moggach.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Deborah Moggach is the correct answer.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Congratulations to the Business Belles.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39You've won!
0:27:42 > 0:27:43THEY CHATTER EXCITEDLY
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Well...
0:27:47 > 0:27:49That's so interesting.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52I thought, as they began to push back I thought, "Ah, they do this."
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- Unbelievable.- Amazing. - We're so happy.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01- The Calderone.- Caldo is hot. We thought it was hot.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Yes, caldo is hot, isn't it?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04It was one of those questions, I think.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08That's why we went for hot spring.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Thank you.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Well done. Well done.- Well deserved.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Very well deserved. Congratulations. Well done, Business Belles.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- So, yeah, £6,000. June, how about that back there?- Get in there!
0:28:20 > 0:28:23See, the sporting round was just set up to make them think
0:28:23 > 0:28:25that you were weakening.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27OK, so you have won the £6,000.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads, Business Belles.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- HE SIGHS - That was a great game.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36It was very good.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Join us next time on Eggheads,
0:28:37 > 0:28:40to see if a new team of Challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Until then, well done and goodbye.
