These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:07

Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:100:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:14

The question is...

0:00:170:00:18

can they be beaten?

0:00:180:00:19

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

And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are Fully Focused.

0:00:330:00:38

Now this team of friends are all associated with

0:00:380:00:40

a photographic training company run by team captain, Mike.

0:00:400:00:45

Let's meet them!

0:00:450:00:47

Hello, I'm Mike. I'm 35 and I've been a wedding photographer

0:00:470:00:49

for 10 years.

0:00:490:00:50

Hi, I'm Andy. I'm 35.

0:00:500:00:52

I run a marketing company and I coach photographers.

0:00:520:00:55

Hi, I'm Jodie. I'm 29 and I photograph weddings and people.

0:00:550:00:59

Hi, I'm Kim. I'm 44 and I've been a wedding photographer for five years.

0:00:590:01:04

Hi, I'm David. I'm 32.

0:01:040:01:06

I'm also a wedding photographer and I've been shooting for five years.

0:01:060:01:09

So, Mike and team - welcome.

0:01:090:01:11

Good to see you.

0:01:110:01:12

-Thank you.

-Are you looking forward to this?

-Yes.

-Very much so.

-Mmm hmm.

0:01:120:01:15

And you are focused on the task?

0:01:150:01:16

Absolutely.

0:01:160:01:17

So, it's photography that brings you together.

0:01:170:01:20

Yep, we all work for a company which teaches photography to students.

0:01:200:01:24

And that's... You go and you photograph things freelance,

0:01:240:01:27

basically, do you as well?

0:01:270:01:29

Most of us are also wedding and portrait photographers as well.

0:01:290:01:31

OK. And there's still...?

0:01:310:01:33

People still pay for that despite the digital age, do they?

0:01:330:01:37

Ah, it's changed our job but there are new challenges that go with that

0:01:370:01:40

so we just embrace that.

0:01:400:01:41

OK, the key question here is - do you quiz together?

0:01:410:01:44

-Or at all?

-Yes, we do.

0:01:440:01:46

Right, so you are quizzing team of a kind?

0:01:460:01:48

The majority of us make up a pub quiz team, yeah.

0:01:480:01:50

Do you win?

0:01:500:01:51

-Occasionally. Ha-ha-ha.

-ALL:

-Ha-ha-ha.

0:01:510:01:54

Say no more, we want them to feel intimidated. OK. Good luck.

0:01:540:01:58

Everyday there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:01:580:02:00

for our Challengers.

0:02:000:02:01

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:010:02:03

the prize-money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:030:02:05

So, Fully Focused, the Eggheads have won just the last game which

0:02:050:02:09

means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:090:02:12

Would you like to start?

0:02:120:02:13

-We would.

-Yes.

0:02:130:02:14

First head-to-head battle is on the subject of film and television.

0:02:140:02:17

Who would like this?

0:02:170:02:18

-Jodie?

-That would be me, Jeremy.

-That'll be Jodie.

0:02:180:02:21

OK, Jodie, against which Egghead?

0:02:210:02:25

-Take on Barry?

-Barry?

-Barry, yeah.

-I think I'll go for Barry, please.

0:02:260:02:30

OK, so Jodie from Fully Focused against Barry from the Eggheads.

0:02:300:02:33

I think we've got an interesting film fact about you, Jodie.

0:02:330:02:37

-Ha-ha.

-In just a second.

0:02:370:02:38

To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:02:380:02:41

So, Film and Television.

0:02:430:02:44

And, Jodie, your interesting film connection is...?

0:02:440:02:48

That I am a distant relative of Peter Sellers.

0:02:480:02:51

OK. I should have got Barry to try and guess that, shouldn't I?

0:02:510:02:54

-Ha-ha.

-I would have never come up with that one.

0:02:540:02:56

So, can we go through the connection? Or is it not clear?

0:02:560:03:00

Erm, well... I'm pretty...

0:03:000:03:01

It's kind of passed down through my family folklore that he

0:03:010:03:05

is my second... My grandpa's second cousin.

0:03:050:03:08

OK, right.

0:03:080:03:09

And now you mention it, actually...

0:03:090:03:11

Is there a resemblance?

0:03:110:03:12

I don't know.

0:03:120:03:14

But that's a massive figure in...

0:03:140:03:17

Oh, our entertainment culture, Barry, isn't it?

0:03:170:03:19

Yeah, absolutely wonderful star - so versatile.

0:03:190:03:22

OK, so Film and Television.

0:03:220:03:23

And Jodie, you can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:03:230:03:26

I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy. Thank you.

0:03:260:03:28

Here we go.

0:03:310:03:33

Which actress' roles have included Lara Croft in Lara Croft Tomb Raider

0:03:330:03:37

and Jane Smith in Mr and Mrs Smith?

0:03:370:03:41

Ah, well, it's not Drew Barrymore cos she mainly does romantic comedies,

0:03:460:03:49

as does Sandra Bullock.

0:03:490:03:51

The answer is Angelina Jolie.

0:03:510:03:53

Angelina Jolie is...

0:03:530:03:55

correct.

0:03:550:03:56

Well done.

0:03:570:03:58

OK, Barry, in which decade did Songs Of Praise first air on the BBC?

0:03:580:04:03

Oh, goodness. It certainly was much earlier than the '70s.

0:04:070:04:10

Was it the '50s of the '60s?

0:04:100:04:13

I think Songs Of Praise has been going forever so I would say 1950s.

0:04:130:04:17

Well, you're nearly right, cos it was '61.

0:04:170:04:19

Ah! Ha-ha-ha.

0:04:190:04:21

So, the '60s it is. Oh, that's a handy start.

0:04:210:04:24

We had a team a couple of days ago who just couldn't get

0:04:240:04:27

a question right for the first round or two.

0:04:270:04:29

So, you've started really well here, Jodie,

0:04:290:04:32

with a right answer for you and a wrong answer for them.

0:04:320:04:36

Here's your second question.

0:04:360:04:37

Who directed the films Erin Brockovich, Che and Magic Mike?

0:04:370:04:42

Erm, well, it wasn't Paul Thomas Anderson.

0:04:480:04:50

It wasn't Alexander Payne either.

0:04:500:04:53

I know that it was Steven Soderbergh.

0:04:530:04:55

Stephen Soderbergh is quite right. Well done.

0:04:550:04:57

Barry, your question.

0:05:000:05:01

The Russian version of which British television programme is

0:05:010:05:05

known as Dark Side Of The Moon?

0:05:050:05:08

Oh.

0:05:120:05:13

I've not heard of this programme but that's a great title.

0:05:130:05:16

Dark Side Of The Moon...

0:05:160:05:17

I don't think it was... I can't imagine it being Cracker.

0:05:180:05:21

Dark Side Of The Moon...

0:05:220:05:23

Now... I...

0:05:240:05:26

Because of the planetary aspect, I'll have to go for Life On Mars.

0:05:260:05:30

Life On Mars is correct.

0:05:300:05:33

OK.

0:05:340:05:35

Jodie, your question.

0:05:350:05:36

Get this one right - you've taken the round.

0:05:360:05:38

The quirky, local bureaucrat, Leslie Knope played by Amy Poehler

0:05:380:05:45

is a character in which US sitcom?

0:05:450:05:48

OK, it's partly going to be a guess but I'm pretty sure,

0:05:520:05:56

erm, it's a sitcom and

0:05:560:05:59

I know that she is a comedy actress.

0:05:590:06:02

I think I'm going to go with...

0:06:020:06:04

..Community.

0:06:050:06:07

Let's see if the Eggheads know.

0:06:070:06:09

-BOTH:

-Parks And Recreation.

0:06:090:06:11

Parks And Recreation is the right answer.

0:06:110:06:12

Not community.

0:06:140:06:15

Which gives Barry a way back in.

0:06:150:06:16

But you've got to get this one right, Barry.

0:06:160:06:18

Who played the title role in the 2013 film, Jack the Giant Slayer?

0:06:180:06:23

Hmm, I've seen the clips of this but I never paid much attention to it.

0:06:270:06:31

I'm not sure on this but I've a feeling it was Jamie Bell

0:06:330:06:35

so I shall go for Jamie Bell.

0:06:350:06:38

Anyone here know? Is he right?

0:06:380:06:39

-We think it's Nicholas Hoult.

-Nicholas Hoult is the right answer.

0:06:390:06:42

Barry, you got it wrong, so you're out.

0:06:420:06:44

Well done to you, Jodie. Nice work!

0:06:440:06:46

And, yeah,

0:06:460:06:47

the Peter Sellers lineage is still strong, clearly.

0:06:470:06:50

-Thank you.

-You've won the round, you're in the final,

0:06:500:06:52

Barry's knocked out -

0:06:520:06:53

please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.

0:06:530:06:56

So, after that great work by Jodie, Fully Focused have not lost a brain.

0:06:570:07:00

The Eggheads have had one knocked out.

0:07:000:07:01

What's going to happen next?

0:07:010:07:03

It's History.

0:07:030:07:05

That's your subject now.

0:07:050:07:06

Who would like this?

0:07:060:07:08

-I'll have a go.

-You'll have a go?

-Yep, I'll take it.

0:07:080:07:10

Andy against...?

0:07:100:07:11

-Pat?

-Pat.

-Yeah, why not.

-Yeah?

-Sure.

0:07:110:07:14

Pat, we think, Jeremy.

0:07:140:07:15

OK, Andy from Fully Focused.

0:07:150:07:17

How focused are you, Pat, today?

0:07:170:07:19

Ah, I'll be fine with my glasses, yes.

0:07:190:07:22

Yeah, he has got spectacles, I have to warn you.

0:07:220:07:24

-Ha-ha.

-And quite intimidating ones as well.

-I can imagine.

0:07:240:07:26

So, Andy against Pat. Please go to the Question Room now.

0:07:260:07:29

Good luck in History.

0:07:310:07:32

You're up against Pat with the threatening glasses.

0:07:320:07:35

And you can choose to go first or second.

0:07:350:07:37

I'll go first, please.

0:07:370:07:38

Here we go, Andy. Good luck.

0:07:420:07:44

Jean de Lattre de Tassigny,

0:07:440:07:47

was a war hero for which country in World War II?

0:07:470:07:50

Jean. And then it's de Lattre which is de - new word - L-A-T-T-R-E.

0:07:540:07:58

New word - de - Tassigny - T-A-S-S-I-G-N-Y.

0:07:580:08:02

D apostrophe?

0:08:020:08:04

-No, it's...

-Or D-E?

0:08:040:08:05

D-E.

0:08:050:08:06

That leans me towards France.

0:08:060:08:09

So I'll stick with France as my answer.

0:08:090:08:12

Er, France is correct.

0:08:120:08:14

Well done.

0:08:140:08:15

Ha-ha.

0:08:150:08:17

OK, Pat.

0:08:170:08:18

Snefru was the king in the history of which civilisation, Pat?

0:08:180:08:24

I think he was a prominent pharaoh.

0:08:260:08:28

I think he was king in the Egyptian civilisation.

0:08:280:08:32

Yes, he was a king in the Egyptian civilisation.

0:08:320:08:34

Well done.

0:08:340:08:35

Snefru.

0:08:350:08:36

Back to you, Andy.

0:08:380:08:39

Princess Maud, who became Queen of Norway in 1905,

0:08:400:08:43

was the youngest daughter of which British king?

0:08:430:08:46

1905...

0:08:510:08:53

Well, Edward VII...

0:08:550:08:56

..became king around then.

0:08:580:09:00

George V followed him.

0:09:010:09:03

I think...

0:09:030:09:04

I will go with...

0:09:060:09:08

Edward VII.

0:09:080:09:10

Edward VII is correct.

0:09:100:09:11

-Good play.

-Thank you.

0:09:110:09:13

Well done. OK, Pat, over to you.

0:09:130:09:15

The Battle of Waterloo took place on which day of the week?

0:09:150:09:19

Saturday night would have been more appropriate.

0:09:210:09:23

Sunday, Monday or Tuesday? I really don't know.

0:09:250:09:28

I'll assume they fought on Sunday.

0:09:300:09:32

Shame on them.

0:09:320:09:33

-Sunday is the right answer.

-Phew.

0:09:340:09:35

So, it's two points each, Andy.

0:09:360:09:38

They're very hard to shake off and Pat is a very strong player.

0:09:380:09:41

Here's your third question.

0:09:410:09:43

In the mid-1850s,

0:09:430:09:45

where was the main base of Russia's Black Sea fleet located?

0:09:450:09:50

The all-important third question.

0:09:550:09:58

-Erm, 1850s?

-Yep.

0:09:580:10:00

Trying to find something here.

0:10:030:10:04

Erm.

0:10:040:10:05

I'm drawn to Yalta.

0:10:050:10:07

Go with your gut instinct - Yalta.

0:10:080:10:11

Anyone on your team know?

0:10:110:10:12

I suspect Odessa.

0:10:120:10:14

You think Odessa. Anyone here know?

0:10:140:10:16

-Sevastopol.

-You all say Sevastopol - that is the right answer, Andy.

0:10:160:10:19

-Sorry.

-OK.

0:10:190:10:20

OK, Andy. We've got to hope that I say this impartially,

0:10:210:10:25

that Pat really messes up now.

0:10:250:10:27

Which Roman emperor was born

0:10:270:10:29

Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus in 37 AD?

0:10:290:10:34

I shouldn't even have to think about this but...

0:10:380:10:41

37 AD.

0:10:410:10:43

I don't think it's Trajan

0:10:430:10:45

because I think his proper name ends in Traianus.

0:10:450:10:47

So I think it's Nero versus Hadrian. 37 AD...

0:10:500:10:54

My brain isn't working at all. I'll just say Hadrian.

0:10:540:10:57

Eggheads have got their heads in their hands here, Pat.

0:10:580:11:01

Oh, it's Nero.

0:11:010:11:02

We've got at least two heads in hands.

0:11:020:11:04

-Nero it is.

-Oh.

0:11:040:11:05

I thought you'd do it from the birth date, actually.

0:11:050:11:07

I should have done it, I just lost my bearings.

0:11:070:11:10

Equal after three, which is handy for your team, Andy.

0:11:100:11:13

And therefore we go to Sudden Death.

0:11:130:11:16

-Yep.

-Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives, OK?

-OK.

0:11:160:11:18

Here's your question.

0:11:180:11:19

The so-called Bridge of No Return was used for prisoner exchanges

0:11:190:11:23

following which war?

0:11:230:11:25

Prisoner exchange.

0:11:250:11:26

After which war...?

0:11:280:11:29

I think I will go with the First World War, Jeremy.

0:11:300:11:34

It's the Korean War.

0:11:340:11:37

And, Pat, back to you.

0:11:370:11:39

Eleanor of Provence was Queen of England in the 13th century

0:11:390:11:42

as the wife of which monarch?

0:11:420:11:45

It's the 1200's.

0:11:450:11:47

I'll go with Henry III.

0:11:470:11:49

-ALL:

-Yes.

0:11:490:11:50

Ha-ha, they've all gone, "Yes!" at your desk here in the studio.

0:11:510:11:54

Henry III is correct, Pat.

0:11:540:11:55

Well done, you got it.

0:11:550:11:57

You've won through on Sudden Death.

0:11:570:11:58

Sorry, Andy, our Egghead knocked you out,

0:11:580:12:00

you will not be in the final round.

0:12:000:12:02

Both of you please come back and rejoin your team-mates.

0:12:020:12:04

So, as it stands, Fully Focused have lost one brain

0:12:050:12:08

from the final round whilst the Eggheads have also lost a brain.

0:12:080:12:11

The next subject is Sport.

0:12:110:12:13

-ALL:

-Mike?

-We have a specialist for sport.

-Mike.

-He threw himself

0:12:140:12:18

-on the fire for history.

-OK. This is tricky.

-I'll take sport.

0:12:180:12:22

OK, Mike on sport against which Egghead?

0:12:220:12:25

-Any of the three nearest to me.

-THEY WHISPER

0:12:250:12:28

-Really?

-We'll go with Chris.

-We'll go with Chris.

0:12:280:12:30

Right, Mike from Fully Focused versus Chris.

0:12:300:12:33

What's our mood today, Chris, on sport? Or indeed everything?!

0:12:330:12:35

-Our mood is reasonably equable, Jeremy.

-Ha-ha-ha.

0:12:350:12:38

And on Sport? I have won the occasional Sport round.

0:12:380:12:42

Mind you, it doesn't stop me wishing to consign you to the further

0:12:420:12:44

reaches of sulphurous hell but, we'll give it a go.

0:12:440:12:47

-OK.

-ALL:

-Ha-ha-ha.

0:12:470:12:48

So that's a pretty good move for Chris today.

0:12:480:12:51

To ensure there is no conferring,

0:12:510:12:52

please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:12:520:12:54

On Sport, Mike, then, would you like to go first or second?

0:12:560:12:58

I'll take the first questions.

0:12:580:13:00

Here we go and good luck to you.

0:13:030:13:05

What name was given to the volunteer helpers of the 2012 Olympic Games?

0:13:050:13:10

Ah, well, I was lucky enough to get tickets to one of the opening

0:13:130:13:17

ceremonies for the Paralympics.

0:13:170:13:18

Ah, so I'm pretty sure the answer to that is the Games Makers.

0:13:180:13:23

Games Makers is the right answer.

0:13:230:13:25

Chris, which club is a golfer most likely to use to make a tap in?

0:13:270:13:33

Well, a tap in is a short stroke on the green a few feet

0:13:360:13:40

away from the hole.

0:13:400:13:41

You should do it with a putter.

0:13:410:13:42

Putter is the right answer.

0:13:430:13:45

Mike, back to you.

0:13:450:13:47

David Beckham signed for a five-month term with which

0:13:470:13:51

French football team in January 2013?

0:13:510:13:54

Well, I believe the manager at Paris St-Germain

0:13:590:14:02

is Carlo Ancelotti

0:14:020:14:04

who brought him to Real Madrid.

0:14:040:14:07

-Did you say 2012?

-2013.

-2013.

0:14:070:14:10

Erm...

0:14:100:14:11

Yeah, I'm pretty certain that it's Paris St-Germain.

0:14:110:14:15

It's PSG, you're quite right.

0:14:150:14:16

Paris St-Germain. Well done, two out of two.

0:14:160:14:19

Chris, over to you.

0:14:190:14:20

The England international rugby player Mako Vunipola

0:14:200:14:23

was born in which country?

0:14:230:14:25

Vunipola...?

0:14:290:14:30

Well, it doesn't sound Afrikaans, it doesn't sound New Zealand.

0:14:320:14:35

It sounds like a sort of Polynesian name

0:14:350:14:37

so I'll say he was born in Fiji.

0:14:370:14:40

Fiji is the wrong answer.

0:14:400:14:41

-Mmm.

-New Zealand, it is.

0:14:410:14:44

So, you get this one right, Mike, you've made swift work of Chris.

0:14:440:14:49

Mike, which male tennis player lost his first four Grand Slam

0:14:490:14:52

Singles Finals before going on to collect eight titles?

0:14:520:14:57

I don't think Ivan Lendl won that many.

0:15:020:15:03

Bjorn Borg certainly won Wimbledon, I think four or five times

0:15:030:15:06

so it could be considered...

0:15:060:15:08

Agassi was an all-rounder...

0:15:080:15:10

He certainly lost a few first,

0:15:100:15:12

so I think I'll go with Andre Agassi.

0:15:120:15:14

I think Dave knows this. Dave?

0:15:140:15:15

It's Ivan Lendl

0:15:150:15:16

and it's quite ironic because he was saying

0:15:160:15:19

he was coaching Andy Murray who also lost his first four,

0:15:190:15:23

before winning the fifth.

0:15:230:15:24

-Fifth time.

-Yeah, exactly the kind of thing that Murray needed.

0:15:240:15:27

-Yeah, same kind of experiences.

-So it's all come up again.

0:15:270:15:31

Ivan Lendl is the answer.

0:15:310:15:33

-OK.

-Which gives Chris a chance.

0:15:330:15:35

Chris, you get this, we go to Sudden Death.

0:15:350:15:38

The Belarusian sportswoman Nadzeya Ostapchuk

0:15:380:15:42

who was stripped of her gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics

0:15:420:15:45

after failing a drugs test

0:15:450:15:48

competed in which event?

0:15:480:15:50

Well, you've got the stereotypical image, haven't you,

0:15:550:15:57

of the Eastern Bloc shot-putter?

0:15:570:15:59

And I don't... She doesn't sound like a pole vaulter, to me.

0:16:000:16:04

We'll go down the middle for discus.

0:16:040:16:06

What did you do there?

0:16:080:16:09

You had it in your head. This is...

0:16:090:16:11

You're right - she's not going to be pole vaulting any time soon.

0:16:110:16:14

-Ha-ha.

-Ha-ha-ha.

0:16:150:16:17

-Miss Ostapchuk was a shot putter.

-Was she?!

0:16:170:16:20

On drugs, unfortunately.

0:16:200:16:22

So, shot put is the right answer.

0:16:220:16:24

That means, Chris, you crashed out.

0:16:240:16:25

Well done, Mike. You've taken the round.

0:16:250:16:28

So there's the team skipper of Fully Focused who's still in it.

0:16:280:16:32

If you come back to us, gentlemen, we'll play on.

0:16:320:16:36

As it stands, Fully Focused have now lost the one brain,

0:16:360:16:38

but the Eggheads have lost two brains.

0:16:380:16:42

They're bashing you around, Eggheads.

0:16:420:16:44

The next subject is Science.

0:16:440:16:45

So, who's the scientist?

0:16:470:16:48

-KIM GROANS

-That would have been my subject.

0:16:480:16:51

David, you going to take this? OK.

0:16:510:16:53

-I'll go, yeah.

-Go for it, Dave.

0:16:530:16:54

And tell us which Egghead.

0:16:540:16:55

-Who should we go for?

-It can be Daphne or Dave.

0:16:550:16:58

It's your choice. Daphne? You choose.

0:16:580:17:00

Daphne, please.

0:17:000:17:01

DAVID LAUGHS

0:17:010:17:03

What does that expression mean, Daphne?

0:17:030:17:05

-We'll see.

-ALL:

-Ha-ha.

0:17:050:17:07

Lure you onto the rocks.

0:17:070:17:09

David from Fully Focused versus Daphne from the Eggheads on Science.

0:17:090:17:13

Please go to the Question Room.

0:17:130:17:15

So, David, good luck on Science and would you like to go

0:17:170:17:19

first or second?

0:17:190:17:20

I'd like to go first, please.

0:17:200:17:22

Here we go.

0:17:260:17:27

The Colombo Gap is one of the divisions of the rings

0:17:270:17:31

of which planet?

0:17:310:17:32

Right, so I do not know exactly what these rings refer to.

0:17:360:17:41

I don't know if Neptune actually has any rings.

0:17:420:17:45

I know that Saturn has the most, so I'd probably go for Saturn.

0:17:470:17:51

And Saturn is quite right.

0:17:510:17:53

Daphne, what is 40% of 600?

0:17:550:17:58

Oh, for goodness sakes.

0:17:580:18:00

It is...

0:18:060:18:07

240.

0:18:090:18:10

240 is the right answer.

0:18:110:18:13

Dave, over to you.

0:18:140:18:15

What term is used to refer to either of the two lobes of a whale's tail?

0:18:150:18:21

Erm...

0:18:260:18:27

I don't have much expertise in marine biology.

0:18:270:18:33

And I hope, so if I guess this, it's going to be a fluke.

0:18:340:18:37

I think torque...

0:18:370:18:39

..sounds...

0:18:400:18:41

I think it refers to something in, erm, mechanics as well

0:18:430:18:47

and maybe it's sort of like a paddle in mechanics.

0:18:470:18:50

So I'm going to go for...

0:18:500:18:52

torque.

0:18:520:18:53

Oh, I thought you were ruling out torque there.

0:18:540:18:56

No.

0:18:560:18:57

-Any of your team-mates know?

-Fluke?

-I'd guess fluke.

-My guess was fluke.

0:18:570:19:01

Yeah, it is fluke.

0:19:010:19:03

Oh.

0:19:030:19:04

Gives Daphne a chance

0:19:040:19:06

to come through here.

0:19:060:19:07

This is your question, Daphne.

0:19:070:19:10

The mineral armalcolite

0:19:100:19:12

was named after three members of which profession?

0:19:120:19:15

Erm, they're named after astronauts.

0:19:200:19:24

So it's space exploration.

0:19:240:19:27

It's sort of... You can work it out from Aldrin and Armstrong

0:19:270:19:33

and, God, I've forgotten the third.

0:19:330:19:36

Oh, give me the third, I want to see if you can do all three.

0:19:360:19:38

Give me the name of the thing again.

0:19:380:19:41

Armalcolite.

0:19:410:19:44

-Collins - course it is!

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Michael Collins.

0:19:440:19:46

Yes, well done.

0:19:460:19:48

Space exploration is the right answer anyway.

0:19:480:19:50

Daphne, you're in the lead.

0:19:500:19:51

-So that means, David, you've got to get this one right, OK?

-Mmm hmm.

0:19:510:19:54

-I'll do my best.

-To stay in. Good luck.

0:19:550:19:58

The peritoneum membrane is located in which part of the body?

0:19:580:20:02

I'm going to rule out the abdomen

0:20:060:20:09

because I think that it sounds a little bit more delicate than

0:20:090:20:14

any membrane in the abdomen.

0:20:140:20:16

I think I'm going to go...

0:20:170:20:20

I had a lot of problems when I was little with my eye,

0:20:200:20:22

so, I'm going to go for eye for that reason.

0:20:220:20:24

It is not eye.

0:20:260:20:27

It is actually abdomen.

0:20:270:20:29

Oh, is it? OK.

0:20:290:20:30

Abdomen is the answer, David. Sorry about that.

0:20:300:20:33

So Daphne has taken the round.

0:20:330:20:35

With no way back and Daphne will be in the final.

0:20:350:20:38

Please both of you come back to us and we will play that final round.

0:20:380:20:42

So, what a game. This is what we have been playing towards.

0:20:430:20:46

It is time for the final round which,

0:20:460:20:48

as always, is General Knowledge.

0:20:480:20:50

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

0:20:500:20:52

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

0:20:520:20:54

So, Andy and David from Fully Focused,

0:20:540:20:57

and Chris and Barry from the Eggheads,

0:20:570:20:59

would you please now leave the studio?

0:20:590:21:02

So, Mike, Jodie and Kim, you are playing to win Fully Focused £2,000.

0:21:040:21:08

Dave, Daphne and Pat, you are playing for something

0:21:080:21:11

that money really can't buy which is the Egghead's reputation.

0:21:110:21:15

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

0:21:150:21:18

This time, the questions are all general knowledge

0:21:180:21:21

and you are allowed to confer.

0:21:210:21:23

So, Fully Focused, the question is -

0:21:230:21:25

are your three brains able to defeat the Eggheads' three?

0:21:250:21:29

And Mike, Jodie and Kim, you can choose to go first or second.

0:21:290:21:32

Were going to go first, please, Jeremy.

0:21:320:21:34

Kim and team, good luck.

0:21:370:21:38

Take your time.

0:21:380:21:40

Which instrument did Mick Fleetwood

0:21:400:21:41

play in the group Fleetwood Mac?

0:21:410:21:44

Er, I'm not sure who was on bass guitar

0:21:480:21:50

but I know that Lindsey Buckingham was lead guitar.

0:21:500:21:53

Not sure about keyboards.

0:21:540:21:56

-The girls were the singers but I know that the answer...

-100%?

0:21:560:22:00

..is Mick Fleetwood on drums, yep.

0:22:000:22:02

So, the answer is drums.

0:22:020:22:03

Drums is your answer and it's quite right.

0:22:030:22:05

-Well done.

-Great work.

0:22:050:22:07

Eggheads, your question.

0:22:090:22:10

Attica is both a historical part

0:22:100:22:12

and an administrative region of which European country?

0:22:120:22:16

-Attica.

-Attica.

-I thought it was Greece.

-I thought it was Greece.

0:22:190:22:22

It is, it is. Because, like Attic Greek is what they spoke around...

0:22:220:22:26

-Yeah.

-Yeah, it is Greece.

0:22:260:22:29

We think that's Greece, Jeremy.

0:22:290:22:31

Dave, you are right.

0:22:310:22:33

Greece is the correct answer.

0:22:330:22:34

Over to you, Challengers.

0:22:340:22:36

In the 1990s, the so-called Bolivarian Revolution took place

0:22:360:22:40

in which country?

0:22:400:22:41

Well, Simon Bolivar was involved

0:22:460:22:47

in Bolivia and Venezuela, I think.

0:22:470:22:50

Venezuela has the currency of the Bolivar.

0:22:500:22:52

So I think it's Bolivar.

0:22:520:22:54

-Let's go with that.

-You sure?

0:22:540:22:56

-Whatever you think.

-Venezuela.

-OK.

0:22:560:22:57

We think the answer is Venezuela.

0:22:580:23:01

Please, Jeremy.

0:23:010:23:02

-Venezuela is correct.

-Yes!

0:23:020:23:04

Two out of two.

0:23:040:23:06

It's going well in the final round here for you.

0:23:060:23:08

Eggheads, Carlos Slim,

0:23:080:23:10

frequently reported to be the world's richest man,

0:23:100:23:14

was born in which country?

0:23:140:23:15

-Mexico.

-Mexico. This guy was Mexican.

0:23:180:23:20

Mexican, I can't believe it's anything else.

0:23:200:23:22

-Mexico.

-Yes.

0:23:220:23:23

We believe the answer's Mexico.

0:23:230:23:26

Mexico is right!

0:23:260:23:28

OK.

0:23:280:23:30

Third question, often crucial. Here we go.

0:23:300:23:32

The character of Steerpike appears in novels by which author?

0:23:320:23:36

Laurie Lee wrote Cider With Rosie, I know that cos we did it at school.

0:23:410:23:44

-OK, do you remember those characters?

-Hmm.

0:23:440:23:47

What was the name of the character again, Jeremy?

0:23:470:23:49

The character is Steerpike.

0:23:490:23:51

It's one word, S-T-E-E-R-P-I-K-E, one word.

0:23:510:23:53

-Steerpike.

-For some reason I'm led to Huxley, but...

0:23:530:23:58

Do you know the book?

0:23:580:24:00

Are you familiar with his stuff?

0:24:000:24:02

No, but I've heard of him,

0:24:020:24:03

I've not read any of his works

0:24:030:24:05

but I've heard of him.

0:24:050:24:06

That's what I'm led to.

0:24:060:24:07

Do you recall it from Cider House?

0:24:070:24:09

Cider With Rosie, I know who wrote really that book but I don't remember

0:24:090:24:13

the character name.

0:24:130:24:14

I don't know why I'm drawn to...

0:24:140:24:16

It just sounds...

0:24:160:24:17

It sounds more like a classic kind of... I'm drawn to it.

0:24:190:24:22

-OK.

-Yeah.

-Should we go with that?

-We'll go with that.

0:24:220:24:24

Shall we go with Aldous Huxley?

0:24:240:24:25

We're going to go with Aldous Huxley, please, Jeremy.

0:24:250:24:29

And you were going between Laurie Lee

0:24:290:24:30

-and Aldous Huxley?

-Yes, yes.

0:24:300:24:32

See if the Eggheads know. Are they right?

0:24:320:24:34

I'd have gone Mervyn Peake.

0:24:340:24:35

Was he Gormenghast?

0:24:350:24:37

Mervyn Peake.

0:24:370:24:39

If it's any consolation...

0:24:390:24:40

Problems are normally caused when you have two answers

0:24:400:24:42

and you choose the wrong one.

0:24:420:24:43

At least you didn't...

0:24:430:24:45

Mervyn Peake wasn't on the table there.

0:24:450:24:46

Yeah, that's true.

0:24:460:24:48

OK. Sorry about that. You got it wrong.

0:24:480:24:51

So, Eggheads, have a chance to take the contest.

0:24:510:24:53

As a child, which composer

0:24:530:24:57

had the nickname The Spaniard?

0:24:570:25:00

Oh. Ha-ha-ha-ha.

0:25:040:25:05

The Spaniard?

0:25:070:25:08

-Beethoven had a very tough childhood, didn't he?

-Yes.

0:25:100:25:13

Drunken father and almost poverty.

0:25:130:25:16

Would he have had nicknames? Don't know.

0:25:160:25:19

Wagner, I can't think of... There's not very much...

0:25:190:25:21

Anything Spanish about Wagner.

0:25:210:25:23

No, and do you think it's to do with his appearance?

0:25:230:25:27

It could be, couldn't it?

0:25:270:25:29

Can you recall any...?

0:25:290:25:30

-Well, Mozart was precocious.

-Yes.

0:25:300:25:32

And was touring around and was a celebrity and a performer

0:25:320:25:35

so perhaps he could have...

0:25:350:25:36

-A nickname, yeah.

-Yeah.

0:25:360:25:38

I really don't know.

0:25:380:25:39

-I haven't got a clue.

-I haven't got a clue.

0:25:390:25:41

Wagner was born in Leipzig, Beethoven - Bonn,

0:25:420:25:44

-Mozart - Salzburg.

-Salzburg.

0:25:440:25:46

So there's no...

0:25:460:25:47

-Not that clear, really.

-No.

-Spaniard?

0:25:490:25:51

-Is it based on appearance?

-Yes.

0:25:520:25:55

Yes. I would say that, pictures of Beethoven,

0:25:550:25:59

I can't see him with Spanish features.

0:25:590:26:02

No.

0:26:020:26:03

So,

0:26:040:26:05

was Mozart dark?

0:26:050:26:08

-Not especially.

-Not really, no.

0:26:080:26:11

Let's just go for Wagner.

0:26:110:26:13

We've not got any clue at all,

0:26:130:26:15

but we're going to take a punt on, er,

0:26:150:26:19

Wagner, Jeremy.

0:26:190:26:21

It was due to this person's appearance - no more than that

0:26:220:26:24

so...

0:26:240:26:25

And you were on the right track with Beethoven.

0:26:250:26:27

-That's the answer.

-Oh, right.

0:26:270:26:29

-Beethoven, rough childhood...

-Yeah.

0:26:290:26:31

-..hard time.

-Did he look Spanish?

-Yeah.

0:26:310:26:34

Beethoven is the answer so... Ha-ha. Interesting.

0:26:340:26:37

You're off the hook.

0:26:370:26:39

Go to Sudden Death now

0:26:390:26:40

in the final round against the Eggheads.

0:26:400:26:42

Oh, no, we've got no options.

0:26:420:26:43

Gets a bit harder. Exactly, no options.

0:26:430:26:46

I don't give you alternatives.

0:26:460:26:47

Here we go. With the three of you, you can confer, OK?

0:26:470:26:50

Which chart-topping male singer duetted with Deniece Williams

0:26:500:26:55

on the 1978 UK top five single -

0:26:550:26:59

Too Much, Too Little, Too Late?

0:26:590:27:01

-There's only one name that's popped into my head, it's...

-Go for it.

0:27:010:27:04

I don't know if it's right, but it's the name Peabo Bryson.

0:27:040:27:07

Peabo Bryson...?

0:27:070:27:09

Peabo Bryson suddenly popped into my head.

0:27:090:27:11

Can you...? Too Much, Too Little, Too Late?

0:27:110:27:14

Which chart-topping male singer duetted with Denise Williams

0:27:140:27:17

on the 1978 UK top five single - Too Much, Too Little, Too Late?

0:27:170:27:22

Which chart-topping male singer?

0:27:220:27:24

Peabo Bryson's the only name that's appeared in my head.

0:27:240:27:26

OK, we'll go with what you think.

0:27:260:27:28

If you don't know... We don't know, so...

0:27:280:27:30

OK, you happy with that?

0:27:300:27:31

We're going to take a stab at Peabo Bryson, Jeremy.

0:27:310:27:35

Let me see if these Eggheads know.

0:27:350:27:37

Johnny Mathis.

0:27:370:27:39

Oh.

0:27:390:27:40

Yeah, Johnny Mathis is the answer.

0:27:400:27:42

He'd been number one in 1976 with When A Child Is Born.

0:27:420:27:44

Yes.

0:27:440:27:45

OK.

0:27:470:27:48

So, Eggheads, you have a chance to end the contest.

0:27:480:27:52

Who was the former RAF pilot,

0:27:520:27:54

founder of a charity in 1948

0:27:540:27:56

who married fellow philanthropist Sue Ryder?

0:27:560:27:59

Was it Leonard Cheshire?

0:27:590:28:00

-Yes.

-Group Captain Leonard Cheshire, isn't it?

0:28:000:28:03

I believe it's Group Captain Leonard Cheshire.

0:28:030:28:05

Leonard Cheshire is the right answer.

0:28:070:28:09

We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!

0:28:090:28:11

Commiserations to our photographers, that was quite a battle.

0:28:170:28:20

-Hope you enjoyed it.

-We did, yeah.

-Yeah.

-It was great.

-Thank you.

0:28:200:28:23

You ran them close.

0:28:230:28:24

And the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:240:28:27

They still reign supreme over quizland.

0:28:270:28:29

It means you won't be going home with the £2,000,

0:28:290:28:31

so that money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:310:28:33

Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:330:28:35

Who will beat you?

0:28:350:28:37

Join us next time to see

0:28:370:28:38

if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:380:28:41

£3,000 says they don't.

0:28:410:28:43

Till then, goodbye.
