These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:10

Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:100:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:19

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:240:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:31

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:310:00:33

Taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today

0:00:330:00:36

are the Business Belles, from Hertfordshire.

0:00:360:00:39

This team of friends regularly quiz together at their local pubs,

0:00:390:00:42

The King Will and The King Harry, in St Albans.

0:00:420:00:46

Let's meet them.

0:00:460:00:47

Hi, I'm June. I'm 45 and I run an advertising agency.

0:00:470:00:51

Hi, I'm Frances. I'm 54 and I own a PR company.

0:00:510:00:55

Hello, I'm Sarah. I'm 56 and I'm a solicitor.

0:00:550:00:58

Hi, I'm Alexis. I'm 56 and I'm a management consultant.

0:00:580:01:02

Hello, I'm Julia. I'm 57, a retired police officer.

0:01:020:01:07

June and team, welcome. Good to see you.

0:01:070:01:10

So, business connections here?

0:01:100:01:12

Yeah, absolutely.

0:01:120:01:13

-This is the network.

-This is where it is.

0:01:130:01:16

-This is where it's at.

-This is where it all happens.

0:01:160:01:18

Not only business, but quizzing, as well.

0:01:180:01:20

Absolutely.

0:01:200:01:21

-So where do you quiz, June?

-A variety of places.

0:01:210:01:24

Mostly The King Will and The King Harry pubs in St Albans,

0:01:240:01:28

because they've got a bar and they've got a quiz.

0:01:280:01:31

That combination seems to work for us.

0:01:310:01:33

We're a little bit competitive, aren't we, ladies?

0:01:330:01:35

Just a little.

0:01:350:01:36

-I'm sensing that already.

-Just a smidge.

0:01:360:01:38

Just to show that this is a team with a lot of gumption,

0:01:400:01:43

you once became Leo Sayer's backing singer, backing act or what?

0:01:430:01:47

A combination of both.

0:01:470:01:49

It was a happy accident, maybe not for Mr Sayer, but it was for me.

0:01:490:01:52

It was at the Business Awards in Harlow.

0:01:520:01:54

He wasn't getting the sort of reaction I hoped he would,

0:01:540:01:57

so I helped him. Well, "helped" him

0:01:570:01:59

by joining him on stage.

0:01:590:02:02

And going behind him and going, way.

0:02:020:02:04

Yes. There was some of this...

0:02:040:02:06

You know the thing. You know the type.

0:02:060:02:08

I bet it worked, as well.

0:02:080:02:10

It did. They loved him.

0:02:100:02:12

OK, well, you can do that to your team, if you start to fall behind.

0:02:120:02:14

-Why, thank you.

-Absolutely.

0:02:140:02:16

It might not even be necessary. Good luck against the Eggheads.

0:02:160:02:18

Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:180:02:21

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:210:02:23

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:230:02:26

So, Business Belles, the Eggheads have won the last five games,

0:02:260:02:29

which means £6,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:290:02:33

-Do you want to crack on?

-ALL: Yes.

0:02:330:02:35

OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.

0:02:350:02:39

Who would like this?

0:02:390:02:40

Politics, ladies. How do we feel about that?

0:02:400:02:43

Who's the strong one on Politics?

0:02:430:02:45

Politics. It's probably going to be me. What do you think?

0:02:450:02:47

-I think it's going to have to be me.

-I think it is. The lovely Sarah.

0:02:470:02:50

-OK.

-Sarah will be playing on Politics.

0:02:500:02:52

Sarah against which Egghead? Any one of them.

0:02:520:02:55

-Mm, tough one, isn't it?

-I would like to quiz Chris.

-Yes.

0:02:550:02:58

I think you should, then.

0:02:580:03:00

-Then you get Chris. Chris, please.

-You absolutely can.

0:03:000:03:02

Sarah from the Business Belles against our own belle over here.

0:03:020:03:06

Brighton Belle.

0:03:070:03:08

LAUGHTER

0:03:080:03:10

To ensure there's no conferring,

0:03:100:03:11

please take your positions in the question room.

0:03:110:03:14

Your choice, Sarah, would you like to go first or second?

0:03:160:03:18

I'll go first, thank you.

0:03:180:03:20

Here we go.

0:03:220:03:23

The 2012 Draft Communications Data Bill,

0:03:230:03:26

which permitted monitoring of people's online activities,

0:03:260:03:29

was given what popular name?

0:03:290:03:31

Well, as a lawyer I should know the answer to this question,

0:03:370:03:41

but I don't think I do.

0:03:410:03:42

I'm not sure it's going to be Square Deal.

0:03:430:03:46

Or Sharing Violation. So I think I'm going to go for Snooper's Charter.

0:03:500:03:53

Snooper's Charter is quite right. Well done.

0:03:550:03:57

Chris, your question.

0:04:000:04:01

In February 2013, basketball player Dennis Rodman

0:04:010:04:05

made a controversial visit to which world leader?

0:04:050:04:08

It wouldn't be Kim Jong-un, would it? He's North Korea.

0:04:160:04:19

It is. It is him.

0:04:190:04:21

Beyonce and her husband were in trouble going to Castro.

0:04:230:04:28

So Dennis Rodman must have gone to visit Robert Mugabe.

0:04:280:04:31

No, no, no, no.

0:04:310:04:33

It's the one you ruled out completely firmly.

0:04:330:04:36

-It's Kim Jong-un.

-Yeah.

-Kim Jong-un.

0:04:360:04:39

There we go.

0:04:390:04:41

Sarah, the Office of Budget Responsibility

0:04:410:04:43

is a public body that was formally created under whose premiership?

0:04:430:04:48

I don't think it was John Major. I think that's probably too early.

0:04:520:04:58

I'm not sure.

0:04:580:04:59

I think, probably, Tony Blair.

0:05:010:05:03

I'm going to go for Tony Blair.

0:05:030:05:05

I think it's the right time.

0:05:050:05:07

No, actually it was more recent. David Cameron, the OBR.

0:05:070:05:12

Your question, Chris.

0:05:120:05:13

In 2010,

0:05:130:05:14

Labour MP Stella Creasy began a campaign against which of these?

0:05:140:05:19

Well, bedroom tax is recent - sort of, 2013 Budget, isn't it?

0:05:250:05:30

Payday loan companies only really started coming under

0:05:320:05:35

the cosh in, what, early 2013?

0:05:350:05:39

Before that, they were more or less tolerated. I think...

0:05:390:05:42

..Ms Creasy is campaigning against the HS2 Rail line.

0:05:430:05:47

-Do you know this?

-We think it's HS2.

0:05:480:05:51

No, he's not right. It's payday loan companies.

0:05:510:05:54

Chris, two out of two wrong. How often do we see that

0:05:540:05:57

from Chris? With one point, Sarah, if you get this one right,

0:05:570:06:01

you will be in the final round, you'll have knocked him out.

0:06:010:06:04

In March 2013, Liberal Democrat MP Mike Thornton

0:06:040:06:08

took his seat in the Commons after winning a by-election

0:06:080:06:11

in which constituency?

0:06:110:06:13

OK, I don't remember this by-election, at all.

0:06:180:06:22

I don't think it was Forest of Dean.

0:06:240:06:27

My instinct is to go for Eastleigh,

0:06:270:06:31

but Dagenham and Rainham is drawing me in.

0:06:310:06:35

I'm not really sure.

0:06:350:06:37

I'll go for Eastleigh.

0:06:410:06:43

JEREMY LAUGHS

0:06:430:06:44

I think that they were transmitting their thoughts to you

0:06:440:06:46

from this side of the studio, cos you're right.

0:06:460:06:50

Yeah, it's Eastleigh. Sarah, you got it right.

0:06:530:06:55

Eastleigh is the answer.

0:06:550:06:57

That means, Chris, with no points on the board,

0:06:570:06:59

you are not in the final round. I'm sorry.

0:06:590:07:01

Sarah is. Good start for the Challengers here.

0:07:010:07:04

Do please come back and rejoin your teams.

0:07:040:07:07

So, interesting start.

0:07:090:07:10

The Business Belles have not lost a brain from the final round.

0:07:100:07:14

The Eggheads have lost a brain. They've lost Chris.

0:07:140:07:16

The next subject for you is Music.

0:07:160:07:17

-Mm, Music. I think it's got to be you.

-Yeah, I'll do it.

0:07:190:07:22

The lovely Frances, please.

0:07:220:07:23

Frances, against which Egghead? There they all are.

0:07:230:07:26

Not Chris, obviously.

0:07:260:07:27

-I think it's only got to be one.

-It's got to be Daphne. She's my heroine.

0:07:270:07:31

It's got to be Daphne. I shall happily lose against Daphne.

0:07:310:07:34

OK, so Frances from the Business Belles against Daphne her heroine.

0:07:350:07:38

But that won't take the edge off Daphne's performance. She is steel.

0:07:380:07:43

And fiercely competitive.

0:07:430:07:45

She looks like a really nice grandmother

0:07:450:07:48

and she's like a lethal weapon, Daphne.

0:07:480:07:49

Then, the handbag comes out.

0:07:500:07:53

To ensure there's no conferring,

0:07:530:07:54

would you please take your positions in the question room?

0:07:540:07:58

Frances, first or second set of questions?

0:07:580:08:00

I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.

0:08:000:08:02

Here we go. Good luck.

0:08:060:08:08

Which of these had a number of UK hit singles in the early 1980s?

0:08:080:08:12

Ah, now that's interesting.

0:08:170:08:19

I...

0:08:190:08:20

I thought Fame was possibly earlier than that, unless it was the TV show.

0:08:200:08:27

I had no idea that the kids from Dallas had any music.

0:08:270:08:31

Kids From Cheers? There weren't any kids in Cheers.

0:08:310:08:35

I think I'm going to go for The Kids From Fame.

0:08:350:08:39

Well done.

0:08:390:08:40

I was worried you were drifting into another decade for a second.

0:08:400:08:43

Kids From Fame, of course, with Irene Cara and all that.

0:08:430:08:46

OK, Daphne, in March 2013, it was announced

0:08:470:08:50

that which female singer would represent the UK

0:08:500:08:53

at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest?

0:08:530:08:56

Oh, yes. It's Bonnie Tyler.

0:09:010:09:03

-It is, indeed, Bonnie Tyler.

-Yeah, she's Welsh.

0:09:050:09:09

She's Welsh. Yes, she is. Yeah, yeah.

0:09:100:09:12

OK.

0:09:120:09:13

Frances, which Tom Jones hit begins with the line,

0:09:130:09:16

"Love is like candy on a shelf."?

0:09:160:09:19

I'm trying to sing it to myself.

0:09:250:09:27

It's... I think it's Help Yourself.

0:09:280:09:30

Yeah. It's not an easy question. You're quite right there.

0:09:320:09:35

Help Yourself, it is.

0:09:350:09:36

Thank you.

0:09:370:09:38

Daphne, the name of which city is the title of a song

0:09:380:09:41

in the musical Evita?

0:09:410:09:43

It must be Buenos Aires.

0:09:550:09:58

-You look confused.

-Yes. I was trying to remember it.

0:09:580:10:02

I've only seen Evita once.

0:10:020:10:05

I just assumed you were doing nothing but watching musicals.

0:10:050:10:08

Is it Buenos Aires?

0:10:080:10:09

-It is Buenos Aires. Well done.

-Oh, good.

0:10:090:10:11

OK, so two each. Third question.

0:10:120:10:14

Frances, at the age of 18, the composer Hector Berlioz

0:10:140:10:18

was sent by his father to Paris to study which subject?

0:10:180:10:23

I, sort of, suspect it's not accountancy.

0:10:260:10:30

I think it might have been law or medicine.

0:10:300:10:34

Fathers always seem to want to send their sons...

0:10:340:10:36

..into medicine or law, so I'm...

0:10:380:10:40

Medicine or law.

0:10:430:10:44

I'm drawn to medicine, so I'll just say medicine.

0:10:460:10:49

Yeah, superb play. You're right.

0:10:490:10:51

-No.

-Medicine, it is.

0:10:510:10:53

Daphne, here you go. You're on the edge here. You're teetering, Daphne.

0:10:530:10:56

If you get this wrong, you're out.

0:10:560:10:58

"I Really Didn't Mean It" and "Give Me The Reason"

0:10:580:11:02

were UK hit singles in the late 1980s for which singer?

0:11:020:11:06

Well, the only one I've heard of is Luther Vandross,

0:11:120:11:16

so I'm really sorry, team, but that's my answer.

0:11:160:11:20

-Well, Challengers, is she right?

-She is.

0:11:210:11:23

She does this all the time. Well done, Daphne.

0:11:230:11:26

It is Luther Vandross.

0:11:260:11:28

I hadn't heard of the other two. Sorry.

0:11:280:11:31

We go to sudden death, Frances.

0:11:310:11:32

It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternative answers.

0:11:320:11:35

Here we go with your first question.

0:11:350:11:37

A live version of Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

0:11:370:11:40

went to the UK number one spot in 1991

0:11:400:11:43

for Elton John and which singer?

0:11:430:11:45

Oh, my goodness.

0:11:450:11:46

Oh, I know he had a hit with Kiki Dee,

0:11:500:11:53

but I don't think it was that one.

0:11:530:11:54

I really don't know.

0:11:560:11:57

Oh, was it George Michael?

0:11:570:11:58

It's a guess. I'm going to say George Michael.

0:12:020:12:05

Elton made a guest appearance at a George Michael concert. Well done.

0:12:050:12:08

-No.

-George Michael.

0:12:080:12:10

You're playing a very good game here,

0:12:100:12:12

challengers - Business Belles. Daphne, over to you.

0:12:120:12:16

Life In A Beautiful Light, released in 2012,

0:12:160:12:19

is the third studio album

0:12:190:12:21

by which female Scottish singer-songwriter?

0:12:210:12:24

Kate Nash.

0:12:300:12:32

-You said Kate Nash. Eggheads?

-Is it Amy McDonald?

0:12:320:12:35

-Amy McDonald is the answer.

-Oh, right.

0:12:350:12:38

-Daphne.

-I'm out.

-No easy way to say it, you are gone.

0:12:380:12:42

-Well done, Frances.

-I can't believe it.

0:12:420:12:44

-Wow.

-Ooh, this is hotting up, isn't it?

0:12:460:12:49

They haven't had a contest like this for a while, I can tell you.

0:12:490:12:51

You've won the first two rounds.

0:12:510:12:53

Please, both of you, come back to us and we will play on.

0:12:530:12:56

So, as it stands the Business Belles have not lost a brain

0:12:570:13:00

from the final round yet.

0:13:000:13:02

The Eggheads have lost two. The next subject is Science.

0:13:020:13:06

Who would like Science?

0:13:060:13:07

I think that's me, isn't it?

0:13:070:13:10

-OK, Alexis. Against which Egghead?

-Right, which Egghead?

0:13:100:13:13

Dave or Kevin or Judith. Has to be one of these three here.

0:13:130:13:16

Judith isn't very good on Science.

0:13:170:13:19

I think I'll have Judith, please.

0:13:200:13:22

-I thought I heard that coming.

-LAUGHTER

0:13:220:13:25

-You put your scientific look on, as well. It didn't work.

-Oh, did I?

0:13:270:13:30

Yeah, that laboratory gaze.

0:13:300:13:31

Alexis from the Business Belles versus Judith from the Eggheads,

0:13:330:13:36

on Science, please both of you go to our question room now.

0:13:360:13:39

So, Alexis, would you like to go first or second?

0:13:410:13:43

I think I'll go second, please.

0:13:430:13:45

OK, here we go.

0:13:480:13:50

Judith, hyperemesis gravidarum is often considered to be

0:13:500:13:55

an extreme form of which condition associated with pregnancy?

0:13:550:13:59

I think it's what Kate had, which is morning sickness.

0:14:030:14:07

Extreme morning sickness.

0:14:070:14:08

It is indeed morning sickness. You're right.

0:14:090:14:12

Can be very nasty indeed.

0:14:120:14:13

Alexis, hertz was the new name given to which of these units after 1960?

0:14:130:14:18

I know that. It's cycles per second.

0:14:240:14:26

Cycles per second is right.

0:14:270:14:29

Judith, what name was given to Apollo 12's lunar module,

0:14:310:14:34

which became the second manned spacecraft to land on the moon?

0:14:340:14:39

Well, "The Eagle has landed,"

0:14:420:14:43

was what they said when the first man landed on the moon.

0:14:430:14:48

Maybe it was Eagle Two. It definitely wasn't Challenger.

0:14:490:14:53

I'm hoping it was Eagle Two, as it were.

0:14:550:14:57

-If the first one was Eagle and the second one was Eagle Two...

-Yes.

0:14:570:15:01

..wouldn't it say Eagle Two down here? Just a thought.

0:15:010:15:04

Well, they might have just said, "The Eagle has landed again."

0:15:040:15:06

You had all the information there.

0:15:060:15:08

It was not Challenger, it was Intrepid.

0:15:080:15:11

So Intrepid is the answer. You're wrong.

0:15:120:15:14

Alexis, to take the lead.

0:15:150:15:17

The planet Uranus was discovered in 1781

0:15:170:15:20

using a telescope in the garden of a house in which city?

0:15:200:15:25

Gosh, I've got no idea.

0:15:290:15:31

Three Bs aren't very helpful, either, are they?

0:15:330:15:35

I don't know why, I'm being rather drawn to Bath.

0:15:350:15:38

I don't think it would be Birmingham.

0:15:380:15:40

I wonder if it might have been Brighton.

0:15:420:15:44

But I'm really...

0:15:460:15:47

I'm really being drawn to Bath, so I think I'm going to say Bath.

0:15:470:15:51

-Excellent. Bath is correct.

-Oh, wow.

0:15:510:15:53

Anyone on the Egghead side know any more about this?

0:15:550:15:57

It was Herschel. William Herschel. You can actually visit the house.

0:15:570:16:00

-It's a museum now.

-He was just a citizen, was he?

0:16:000:16:04

Yeah, effectively.

0:16:040:16:05

At different times in his career, he had government grants

0:16:050:16:08

of one sort or another.

0:16:080:16:09

But, yeah, he was just a very keen astronomer.

0:16:090:16:12

He was living in Bath at the time.

0:16:120:16:14

There we are.

0:16:140:16:15

We know everything now, Judith. It's been explained by Kevin.

0:16:150:16:17

You need to get this next question right or you also

0:16:170:16:21

will have been deposed from your seat on high.

0:16:210:16:24

Here's the question.

0:16:240:16:25

Which organisms are commonly made up of filaments known as hyphae?

0:16:250:16:29

Yes, um...

0:16:320:16:34

I know about... Ah...

0:16:360:16:37

I don't think it's viruses, anyhow.

0:16:390:16:41

Is it attached...?

0:16:420:16:43

Oh, dear. I'm having a blank moment.

0:16:450:16:48

Really annoying.

0:16:520:16:53

I think I'm going to say Fungi.

0:16:530:16:55

-Fungi is the right answer.

-Oh, thank goodness for that.

0:16:570:17:00

So...it's level,

0:17:000:17:02

but you can get in the final by just getting this one right, Alexis.

0:17:020:17:06

In 1799, the government purchased the collection of John Hunter

0:17:060:17:10

and presented it to which institution

0:17:100:17:13

where it is now on display in a museum?

0:17:130:17:15

I'm going to guess that it probably wasn't...

0:17:230:17:26

It's probably not the Royal College of Nursing.

0:17:260:17:28

I'm saying that just because it's John Hunter a male.

0:17:310:17:35

Don't know whether that makes any sense or not.

0:17:350:17:37

Again, I'm being drawn to the Royal College of Surgeons,

0:17:400:17:43

because I'm wondering if it's a collection of surgical equipment.

0:17:430:17:49

Erm...

0:17:490:17:50

I think I'm going to go for the Royal College of Surgeons.

0:17:510:17:55

Royal College of Surgeons is the right answer.

0:17:550:17:57

You've taken the round.

0:17:570:17:58

Oh, wow.

0:18:000:18:02

-Three in a row. Judith, I'm sorry, you're not in the final round.

-No.

0:18:020:18:06

It's a bit of a trend, isn't it?

0:18:060:18:08

Seems to be.

0:18:080:18:09

OK. Let's see how the Challengers do, as we play on.

0:18:090:18:13

Please, both of you, come back to us.

0:18:130:18:15

As it stands,

0:18:160:18:17

the Business Belles still have not lost a brain from the final round.

0:18:170:18:21

The Eggheads have lost three.

0:18:210:18:22

Could we get into a situation where there only is one Egghead left?

0:18:220:18:26

That very rarely happens.

0:18:260:18:27

The next subject is Sport. Who would like this?

0:18:270:18:30

CHALLENGERS LAUGH

0:18:300:18:31

I'll go.

0:18:340:18:35

That sounds fantastic news. I'd love that, Jeremy, thanks.

0:18:360:18:41

June on Sport. OK, so June against either Dave or Kevin.

0:18:410:18:46

You're both too lovely, aren't you? As I'm going to crash and burn,

0:18:460:18:49

I'm going to crash and burn against Kevin, I think.

0:18:490:18:52

All right. I understand that logic.

0:18:520:18:53

June from the Business Belles versus Kevin from the Eggheads, on Sport.

0:18:530:18:57

To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the question room.

0:18:570:19:01

OK, June, so you've got to now crush Kevin on Sport.

0:19:010:19:04

Yeah, it's going to happen. It's going to happen. Yeah, yeah.

0:19:040:19:08

There have only been, in the past on Eggheads, seven occasions

0:19:080:19:12

where they have been reduced to a single player in the final.

0:19:120:19:15

-Yeah, yeah.

-It doesn't happen very often, but it's handy when it does.

0:19:150:19:18

Keep my fingers crossed.

0:19:180:19:19

Would you like to go first or second?

0:19:190:19:21

I'd love to just get right on with it. First, please.

0:19:210:19:23

OK, here we go. Good luck.

0:19:270:19:28

Which of these is a position in a rugby union team?

0:19:280:19:31

Mm, rugby.

0:19:360:19:37

Sarah, is a rugby fan. She would know this.

0:19:370:19:42

Is she screaming an answer? Probably.

0:19:420:19:44

Outside centre.

0:19:450:19:47

That sounds possible. Inside outer.

0:19:470:19:49

Sounds like something you would do to socks, possibly. I'm not loving that.

0:19:490:19:53

Sarah's shouting.

0:19:530:19:55

Nearside header.

0:19:550:19:56

I'm going to go with my not gut reaction,

0:19:580:20:00

cos there is no skill here whatsoever, outside centre.

0:20:000:20:07

Well done, you've got it right.

0:20:070:20:08

JUNE LAUGHS

0:20:080:20:09

Thanks.

0:20:110:20:12

The force is with you.

0:20:120:20:13

OK, Kevin, which driver, Kevin,

0:20:130:20:16

won the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix,

0:20:160:20:19

the first Formula 1 race of the 2013 season?

0:20:190:20:21

I believe that was Kimi Raikkonen.

0:20:280:20:31

It was, indeed, Kimi Raikkonen.

0:20:310:20:33

Too much to ask him just to trip up on that first question, wasn't it?

0:20:330:20:36

Yeah.

0:20:360:20:37

OK. Back to you, June.

0:20:370:20:39

Who became New Zealand's test cricket captain in 2012?

0:20:390:20:42

Now, I'm not even sure you have to be from the country to do this job.

0:20:470:20:51

But I'm going to go with that. Who sounds like a Kiwi?

0:20:510:20:54

Mr Vettori doesn't.

0:20:560:20:57

I can't hear anyone screaming at me.

0:20:590:21:02

Brendon McCullum sounds kind of Australasian.

0:21:020:21:07

So does Stephen Fleming.

0:21:070:21:09

So...gut reaction. I'm going with Mr McCullum.

0:21:090:21:14

Brendon McCullum.

0:21:140:21:16

Let's see what your team think.

0:21:160:21:17

Well, we're not sure, but we're hoping it's right.

0:21:170:21:20

Quite a bit of collective sporting knowledge

0:21:200:21:22

on this side of the studio.

0:21:220:21:23

Brendon McCullum is the right answer.

0:21:230:21:26

Oh, the power of positive thinking, isn't it?

0:21:290:21:31

Lesson for us all.

0:21:320:21:33

OK, Kevin, which British boxer unsuccessfully challenged

0:21:330:21:37

Vitali Klitschko for the WBC Heavyweight title in February 2012?

0:21:370:21:42

I think Haye lost against one of the Klitschkos,

0:21:470:21:49

possibly the previous year. I think this one...

0:21:490:21:53

..was actually Dereck Chisora. I think this was Chisora.

0:21:550:21:58

Chisora is your answer. Dereck Chisora is correct.

0:21:580:22:00

OK, so you're right with that, Kevin.

0:22:000:22:02

Again, June, I can only apologise for the fact

0:22:040:22:06

that they are the Eggheads.

0:22:060:22:08

They are.

0:22:080:22:09

The third question can be crucial. Here's yours.

0:22:090:22:11

In February 2013,

0:22:110:22:12

Paolo Di Canio quit as manager of which League One football team?

0:22:120:22:17

I've got a funny feeling it was a London team,

0:22:220:22:25

which only leaves Leyton Orient.

0:22:250:22:27

But I don't know if any of them are in that league,

0:22:290:22:32

but then I don't know anything about any of the leagues.

0:22:320:22:35

So really, pot luck. I'm going to go with Leyton Orient, please.

0:22:350:22:39

No, it's Swindon Town.

0:22:400:22:42

Swindon Town. I think maybe there is a London connection.

0:22:420:22:45

-He played for West Ham. That might have been...

-That's what I meant.

0:22:450:22:48

..what took you in that direction.

0:22:480:22:49

Swindon Town is the answer.

0:22:490:22:50

Kevin has the chance to book his place in the final round.

0:22:500:22:53

Here's your question, Kevin, for the round.

0:22:530:22:55

In which sport is Vincenzo Nibali a famous name?

0:22:550:22:59

I think he's a prominent cyclist. Cycling.

0:23:020:23:06

Cycling is the right answer, Kevin. You're in the final round.

0:23:060:23:09

Maybe he's turning the tide for the Eggheads, let's see. June, sorry.

0:23:090:23:13

The skipper's been knocked out. It's been going well so far.

0:23:130:23:16

Please come back to us and we will play that final.

0:23:160:23:19

Well, what's going to happen now.

0:23:200:23:22

This is what we've been playing towards.

0:23:220:23:23

It is time for the final round,

0:23:230:23:25

which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:23:250:23:27

I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:23:270:23:29

won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:23:290:23:31

So that's June from the Business Belles,

0:23:310:23:33

and also Judith, Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads.

0:23:330:23:37

Would you please leave the studio?

0:23:370:23:39

So, Frances, Sarah, Alexis and Julia,

0:23:410:23:44

you are playing to win the Business Belles £6,000.

0:23:440:23:47

Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something that money can't buy -

0:23:470:23:50

the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:500:23:52

As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:23:520:23:55

This time, the questions are all general knowledge.

0:23:550:23:57

You are allowed to confer.

0:23:570:24:00

Business Belles, the question is

0:24:000:24:01

can your four brains overhaul the Eggheads two here

0:24:010:24:05

and continue the bashing you've meted out so brilliantly?

0:24:050:24:09

-We'll try.

-It's made this programme so entertaining today.

0:24:090:24:12

Would you like to go first or second?

0:24:120:24:13

What do you think? First?

0:24:130:24:15

We're going to go first, Jeremy.

0:24:150:24:17

Here we go, and all the very best.

0:24:200:24:22

What name is usually given to an individual leaf of grass?

0:24:220:24:25

Blade. It's blade, definitely.

0:24:300:24:33

We think that's a blade, Jeremy.

0:24:330:24:35

Blade is the right answer. Well done.

0:24:350:24:37

Eggheads, over to you.

0:24:390:24:40

According to the popular version of the nursery rhyme Rub-a-dub-dub,

0:24:400:24:45

how many men are in the tub?

0:24:450:24:47

-Three men in a tub.

-It's three.

-Three men in a tub.

0:24:510:24:54

-Rub-a-dub-dub...

-Three men in a tub.

0:24:540:24:56

We believe that's three men in a tub, Jeremy.

0:24:560:25:00

That was one of the funniest conversations you two have had...

0:25:000:25:03

-LAUGHTER

-..in the history of Eggheads.

0:25:030:25:06

-It was just beautiful.

-It probably made more sense than most of them.

0:25:060:25:09

Yeah, brilliant.

0:25:100:25:11

Three is the right answer.

0:25:110:25:12

OK, in 1936, Billy Butlin opened the first of his holiday camps

0:25:140:25:18

on a former sugar beet field near which seaside town?

0:25:180:25:23

-I think it was Skegness.

-Because sugar beet is Lincolnshire.

0:25:280:25:32

-Yeah, that's true.

-I think it's Skegness.

-Skegness.

0:25:320:25:36

-Are you happy?

-Yes.

-Morecambe's on the west coast. Whitley Bay.

0:25:360:25:39

There isn't a Butlins on Morecambe or Whitley Bay, anyway.

0:25:390:25:42

Oh, you've been.

0:25:420:25:44

I used to work for them.

0:25:440:25:45

Oh, did you?

0:25:450:25:47

Actually, there might be one in Morecambe. Anyway, Skegness.

0:25:470:25:49

We're saying Skegness.

0:25:510:25:53

Skegness is the right answer. Two out of two, well done.

0:25:530:25:57

Eggheads, what type of geological feature is the Calderone in Italy?

0:25:570:26:01

C-A-L-D-E-R-O-N-E.

0:26:050:26:07

That'll be a volcano, then.

0:26:080:26:11

Yeah, a calderone is a volcanic crater, so it must be a volcano.

0:26:110:26:16

We believe that's a volcano, Jeremy.

0:26:160:26:18

The Calderone is a volcano, you say. Do you think they're right?

0:26:200:26:23

-No, we think it's a hot spring.

-How interesting.

0:26:230:26:27

Oh, look at the panic here.

0:26:270:26:29

-It's not a hot spring.

-Oh.

0:26:300:26:31

It's not a volcano, either. It's a glacier.

0:26:320:26:35

-Oh, right.

-Really?

0:26:350:26:37

Well, we did that on the basis that caldero

0:26:370:26:40

is a word for a volcanic crater, so...

0:26:400:26:42

Very unusually, you somewhat snatched at it, Eggheads.

0:26:440:26:47

-Well, there was never a...

-Never a doubt.

0:26:470:26:49

Never a doubt about that, no.

0:26:490:26:51

-This is looking good.

-Very interesting!

0:26:530:26:55

-OK, so...

-We need to get this one.

0:26:550:26:58

Exactly. If you get this one right,

0:26:580:26:59

they don't even have another chance, the contest is over.

0:26:590:27:02

They can't come back.

0:27:020:27:03

If you get this one right, you've won the jackpot.

0:27:030:27:05

No pressure.

0:27:050:27:07

June has here fingers crossed back there.

0:27:070:27:09

Here's your question -

0:27:090:27:10

who wrote the novel The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel?

0:27:100:27:13

It's definitely not Rose Tremain.

0:27:200:27:22

It's definitely not Kate Mosse.

0:27:220:27:24

It's Deborah Moggach.

0:27:240:27:25

She wrote an article

0:27:250:27:26

about meeting somebody

0:27:260:27:28

over the age of 60.

0:27:280:27:29

It's Deborah Moggach.

0:27:290:27:30

Deborah Moggach is the correct answer.

0:27:320:27:35

Congratulations to the Business Belles.

0:27:350:27:38

You've won!

0:27:380:27:39

THEY CHATTER EXCITEDLY

0:27:420:27:43

Well...

0:27:460:27:47

That's so interesting.

0:27:470:27:49

I thought, as they began to push back I thought, "Ah, they do this."

0:27:490:27:52

-Unbelievable.

-Amazing.

-We're so happy.

0:27:520:27:54

-The Calderone.

-Caldo is hot. We thought it was hot.

0:27:560:28:01

Yes, caldo is hot, isn't it?

0:28:010:28:02

It was one of those questions, I think.

0:28:020:28:04

That's why we went for hot spring.

0:28:060:28:08

Thank you.

0:28:080:28:09

-Well done. Well done.

-Well deserved.

0:28:090:28:11

Very well deserved. Congratulations. Well done, Business Belles.

0:28:110:28:15

-So, yeah, £6,000. June, how about that back there?

-Get in there!

0:28:150:28:20

See, the sporting round was just set up to make them think

0:28:200:28:23

that you were weakening.

0:28:230:28:25

OK, so you have won the £6,000.

0:28:250:28:27

You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads, Business Belles.

0:28:270:28:31

You've proved they can be beaten.

0:28:310:28:33

-HE SIGHS

-That was a great game.

0:28:330:28:35

It was very good.

0:28:350:28:36

Join us next time on Eggheads,

0:28:360:28:37

to see if a new team of Challengers will be just as successful.

0:28:370:28:40

Until then, well done and goodbye.
