These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together, they make up the Eggheads.

0:00:100:00:12

Arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:120:00:14

The question is...

0:00:170:00:18

can they be beaten?

0:00:180:00:20

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

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 our legendary quiz champions today are

0:00:330:00:36

The Havana Club, Carlisle.

0:00:360:00:38

And this team of friends are regular

0:00:380:00:40

quizzers at two of their local pubs,

0:00:400:00:42

The Boardroom and The Beehive.

0:00:420:00:44

Let's meet them.

0:00:440:00:46

Hi, I'm Al, I'm 27 and I'm a bartender.

0:00:460:00:49

Hi, I'm Chloe, I'm 26 and I'm a bartender.

0:00:490:00:52

Hi, I'm Tom, I'm 28 and I'm a care worker.

0:00:520:00:55

Hi, I'm Max, I'm 27 and I'm a business strategist.

0:00:550:00:58

Hi, I'm Tom, I'm 27 and I'm a musician.

0:00:580:01:01

So, welcome, Al. Welcome, team.

0:01:010:01:03

-Thank you Jeremy.

-Hello.

-Good to see you.

0:01:030:01:05

So, obviously crucial activities go on in these two pubs.

0:01:050:01:08

Crucial, if you mean... consumption of alcohol,

0:01:080:01:12

and desperately trying to beat one other team which continues...

0:01:120:01:16

Victory continues to elude us, I would say.

0:01:160:01:18

But you love your quizzing.

0:01:180:01:20

We do love quizzing.

0:01:200:01:21

If the quiz isn't on, we'll be hitting the boxes

0:01:210:01:24

in there trying to make some money from them as well.

0:01:240:01:26

And are you into music together?

0:01:260:01:28

Where does the name Havana Club come from?

0:01:280:01:30

Basically, Chloe works in a bar called Circle

0:01:300:01:34

erm, that we all used to drink at,

0:01:340:01:35

and we all got into drinking a particular rum.

0:01:350:01:38

We just kind of bonded around this certain rum

0:01:380:01:40

and rum-based drinks, really.

0:01:400:01:42

We'll drink cocktails or just, you know, a nice rum and Coke.

0:01:420:01:45

So, it's a quizzing club with a disciplined approach to drinking?

0:01:450:01:50

-Yes.

-TEAM:

-Ha-ha.

0:01:500:01:52

Responsible, cos we are responsible.

0:01:520:01:53

Responsible, very important to say.

0:01:530:01:55

All right, well, good luck.

0:01:550:01:56

This is an interesting team to have on today and

0:01:560:01:58

there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers every day.

0:01:580:02:01

If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize-money

0:02:010:02:03

rolls over to the next show, of course.

0:02:030:02:06

So, Havana Club, the Eggheads have won the last five games

0:02:060:02:09

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

0:02:090:02:13

Would you like to try?

0:02:130:02:14

-Yes, please.

-Absolutely.

0:02:140:02:15

-We should serve drinks at this point but...

-TEAM:

-Ha-ha.

0:02:150:02:18

The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film and Television.

0:02:180:02:21

Who would like this?

0:02:210:02:23

Is that automatically me?

0:02:240:02:26

Er, it's me or you really, so...

0:02:260:02:28

Your decision, Captain.

0:02:280:02:30

-You want to take this one?

-I'll take it, I'll take the first one.

-OK.

0:02:300:02:33

Al, on Film and TV against which Egghead?

0:02:330:02:35

Anyone there you can have.

0:02:350:02:37

-Don't think...

-Judith.

0:02:380:02:39

Good, you've obviously watched the programme

0:02:390:02:42

and you decided this is the subject to take.

0:02:420:02:44

And also, I quite want to beat the millionaire, as well.

0:02:440:02:47

Big fan of that show when I was younger.

0:02:470:02:49

-People do say that.

-You're not going to get my million.

0:02:490:02:52

Ha-ha. Oh, is that the deal? If he wins, he gets your million?

0:02:520:02:55

I thought he perhaps might have an idea.

0:02:550:02:58

So, it's Al from the Havana Club versus Judith from the Eggheads.

0:02:580:03:01

And her million is not on the table.

0:03:010:03:03

To ensure there's no conferring, would you please

0:03:030:03:05

take your positions in the Question Room.

0:03:050:03:07

So, Film and Television, Al.

0:03:090:03:11

And would you like to go with the first or second set of questions?

0:03:110:03:14

I'll take first, please.

0:03:140:03:15

Here we go. Good luck.

0:03:190:03:20

What is the name of the character played by Jenna-Louise Coleman

0:03:200:03:24

in the Doctor Who episode called The Snowmen?

0:03:240:03:27

Right, well, Doctor Who

0:03:300:03:32

unfortunately has never been

0:03:320:03:33

one of my favourite things.

0:03:330:03:35

I think too much hiding behind

0:03:350:03:37

the sofa when I was younger.

0:03:370:03:39

Um, Rose does ring a bell,

0:03:390:03:42

though, don't think played

0:03:420:03:43

by that character.

0:03:430:03:45

By that actress, rather.

0:03:450:03:46

I'm just going to... I'm going to have to take a guess,

0:03:470:03:50

go straight down the middle and go with Clara.

0:03:500:03:52

-Clara's right. Well done.

-Whoo.

0:03:520:03:54

Well done, Al. Judith, your question.

0:03:540:03:58

In the children's television programme Bagpuss, what colour

0:03:580:04:00

are the stripes in Bagpuss's fur?

0:04:000:04:03

Oh, for goodness sake.

0:04:030:04:04

Oh, I don't think I've

0:04:070:04:08

ever watched Bagpuss.

0:04:080:04:10

But something in my head says orange and black.

0:04:100:04:13

It's pink and white.

0:04:150:04:16

-No!

-It couldn't be less orange and black.

0:04:160:04:18

-Ha-ha-ha.

-Have you had your TV set checked recently?

0:04:180:04:20

I told you, I had never watched it.

0:04:200:04:22

Sometimes, if you just bang the top of the set,

0:04:220:04:24

the colours go right.

0:04:240:04:26

Well, if you watch it, you might... One might see.

0:04:260:04:30

Pink and white.

0:04:300:04:31

OK, Al, your chance to take the lead here.

0:04:330:04:36

We can crack out the rum.

0:04:360:04:38

Ha-ha, most definitely.

0:04:380:04:39

Season Of The Witch

0:04:390:04:41

was the subtitle of the third film in which horror movie franchise?

0:04:410:04:45

It's not Saw, cos they were just numbers.

0:04:490:04:53

And, they were terrible.

0:04:530:04:54

Er, Halloween had a few revamps.

0:04:540:04:57

I think...

0:04:580:04:59

..it's A Nightmare On Elm Street.

0:05:010:05:03

Eggheads, is he right?

0:05:040:05:06

It's Halloween.

0:05:060:05:07

Halloween is the right answer, Al.

0:05:070:05:08

Got it wrong.

0:05:080:05:10

Judith, your question.

0:05:110:05:13

Which actor played the Reverend Mervyn Noote

0:05:130:05:15

in the 1960s and 1970s ecclesiastical sitcom,

0:05:150:05:19

All Gas And Gaiters?

0:05:190:05:21

I know that Derek Nimmo was in a kind of thing with a reverend in it.

0:05:250:05:29

So, I think it might be Derek Nimmo.

0:05:290:05:33

It was indeed Derek Nimmo.

0:05:330:05:36

It's right. So, she's caught up, Al. That's annoying, isn't it?

0:05:360:05:38

Rather, ha-ha-ha.

0:05:380:05:40

Here's your question.

0:05:400:05:41

In the 1976 film Robin And Marian,

0:05:410:05:44

who played Maid Marian to Sean Connery's Robin Hood?

0:05:440:05:47

Little bit before my time.

0:05:530:05:56

My Robin Hood was... Ha-ha-ha. ..Kevin Costner.

0:05:560:05:59

I think I would have preferred Sean Connery.

0:05:590:06:03

I don't think it would have been Audrey Hepburn

0:06:030:06:07

or Elizabeth Taylor.

0:06:070:06:09

I think they may be a little bit too glamorous, potentially, for that.

0:06:090:06:13

I'm going to go with Julie Christie.

0:06:150:06:16

That's wrong.

0:06:180:06:19

Audrey Hepburn is the right answer, Al.

0:06:190:06:21

So, Judith has a chance to take the round on film and television.

0:06:220:06:26

Which actress in the early part of her career

0:06:260:06:28

starred as Lady Jane Grey

0:06:280:06:30

in a feature film released in 1986?

0:06:300:06:33

Lady Jane Grey...?

0:06:380:06:40

Pfff. Well, Tilda Swinton's got a very Tudor-like face.

0:06:420:06:46

I just think because she's vaguely...

0:06:460:06:49

She's sort of Tudor-looking, I think I'm going to say Tilda Swinton.

0:06:490:06:53

Be easier to make up as a Tudor lady.

0:06:530:06:57

Tudor Tilda, they called her.

0:06:570:06:58

-Tudor Tilda Swinton, yeah.

-Yeah, except they didn't.

0:06:580:07:01

It was Helena Bonham Carter.

0:07:010:07:03

Oh, who doesn't look a bit Tudor, does she?

0:07:030:07:05

So, you're equal after three questions.

0:07:050:07:07

We go to Sudden Death.

0:07:070:07:08

And that means it gets a bit harder, Al,

0:07:080:07:10

cos I don't give you alternatives.

0:07:100:07:13

No problem.

0:07:130:07:14

In which James Bond film does Claudine Auger

0:07:140:07:18

play Domino?

0:07:180:07:19

Right, there's a couple. I've got a couple of options. I'm thinking...

0:07:210:07:24

..it's For Your Eyes Only.

0:07:250:07:27

Cos he sucks the poison out of her foot in that one.

0:07:290:07:32

Or is it... No, that's Thunderball.

0:07:320:07:34

Oh, er, right. I'll go.

0:07:360:07:38

It's Thunderball.

0:07:400:07:41

You've done it. Thunderball it is!

0:07:420:07:44

Yes!

0:07:440:07:45

Very good indeed, OK.

0:07:470:07:49

You love your Bond films, I can tell.

0:07:490:07:50

Yeah, bit of a fan, ha-ha-ha.

0:07:500:07:52

Even then, it's not easy. OK, Judith, to stay in.

0:07:520:07:56

The 2012 film No, which stars Gael Garcia Bernal,

0:07:560:08:02

is set in which South American country?

0:08:020:08:04

No...

0:08:040:08:05

Brazil - it's big.

0:08:120:08:14

The answer is no.

0:08:150:08:17

It's not Brazil.

0:08:170:08:18

It's Chile.

0:08:190:08:20

-Chile.

-Yeah.

0:08:200:08:21

So, Al, well done, you've done it.

0:08:210:08:24

-You're through to the final!

-Fantastic.

0:08:240:08:26

-Knocked out an Egghead on Sudden Death which is not easy to do.

-Oof!

0:08:260:08:30

And if you both come back to us, we'll play on.

0:08:300:08:32

So, as it stands, Havana Club have not lost

0:08:330:08:36

a brain from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost one.

0:08:360:08:39

The next subject is Arts and Books. Who would like this?

0:08:390:08:42

Yeah. Shall we just throw Max under the...

0:08:450:08:49

-..decent ones...

-But there might be a good one, I mean...

0:08:490:08:52

There might be a worse subject, like politics.

0:08:520:08:55

-Right, OK, so, do you want to...?

-Tom?

0:08:550:08:58

Me then?

0:08:580:08:59

Think that means me then, Jeremy.

0:08:590:09:01

Against which Egghead?

0:09:010:09:02

What do you think?

0:09:020:09:04

Who do you want to take on?

0:09:050:09:07

Might have to be tremendous knowledge Dave.

0:09:070:09:10

-Yeah?

-Yes.

-You want to take on TKD?

0:09:100:09:11

I'll take TKD.

0:09:110:09:13

OK. All right.

0:09:130:09:14

Tom from Havana Club versus

0:09:140:09:15

Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.

0:09:150:09:18

And to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:09:180:09:21

Arts and Books is the subject in hand.

0:09:210:09:23

And, Tom, would you like to go first or second?

0:09:230:09:25

I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:09:250:09:27

Here we go, good luck.

0:09:300:09:31

Which one of these children's novels was first published in book form

0:09:310:09:34

in 1911?

0:09:340:09:36

Right. Well, I'm going to discount Charlie And The Chocolate Factory,

0:09:430:09:47

I think that probably came a bit later.

0:09:470:09:49

The Secret Garden...

0:09:490:09:51

seems to me like it might be around the right time period.

0:09:510:09:55

So, on that basis, I'll go for The Secret Garden.

0:09:550:09:59

Very well done, Tom. You're right.

0:09:590:10:00

The Secret Garden it is.

0:10:000:10:02

Dave, the Pit And The Pendulum is a horror story by which writer?

0:10:040:10:07

It's Edgar Allan Poe.

0:10:120:10:14

Yes, it is Edgar Allan Poe.

0:10:150:10:17

OK. Your question, Tom.

0:10:180:10:20

What type of table appears in the centre of Vincent Van Gogh's

0:10:200:10:24

1888 painting The Night Cafe?

0:10:240:10:26

Right, I think table tennis

0:10:310:10:33

might be...

0:10:330:10:35

a bit unusual for that particular

0:10:350:10:37

time period.

0:10:370:10:38

It's certainly not billiards. I'm going to have to go for card table.

0:10:400:10:43

It's a big yellow room and in the middle of it is actually a

0:10:440:10:48

billiard table.

0:10:480:10:50

Oh.

0:10:500:10:52

Sorry, Tom. Billiard table.

0:10:520:10:54

Should have known it.

0:10:540:10:55

OK, Dave.

0:10:550:10:56

In Shakespeare's play All's Well That Ends Well,

0:10:560:10:59

Bertram is a Count of where?

0:10:590:11:01

Go Berry.

0:11:060:11:08

-Rossillion.

-Yep.

0:11:080:11:10

-Is the answer.

-Yep.

0:11:100:11:11

So you're level after two questions.

0:11:110:11:13

Tom, back to you.

0:11:130:11:14

For what do the letters 'RR' stand in the name of the writer

0:11:140:11:17

George RR Martin,

0:11:170:11:20

who created the series of fantasy books called A Song Of Ice And Fire?

0:11:200:11:23

Right, well, I'm familiar with the books, obviously,

0:11:300:11:33

based on their recent success as a TV adaptation.

0:11:330:11:36

I've seen the man in question on TV.

0:11:360:11:40

It's just a question of what these initials stand for.

0:11:420:11:44

I don't actually know.

0:11:440:11:45

I will go for...

0:11:470:11:49

..Raymond Richard.

0:11:520:11:53

Raymond Richard is correct.

0:11:530:11:54

OK, Dave.

0:11:570:11:59

What type of artefact is the medieval Luck Of Edenhall,

0:11:590:12:04

now kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum?

0:12:040:12:07

Don't know, I'm going to go for chair.

0:12:110:12:13

Chair is the wrong answer.

0:12:140:12:16

-It's glass, Dave.

-Right, well done.

0:12:160:12:18

Yes, you've been knocked out.

0:12:180:12:19

Well, this is very interesting gaming.

0:12:190:12:21

We've had a lot of interesting games recently and this is another one.

0:12:210:12:24

Tom, well done, you've taken the round. You're in the final.

0:12:240:12:27

-Incredible.

-You don't have to do any more.

0:12:270:12:30

Just celebrate.

0:12:300:12:32

So, if you both come back to us and rejoin your teams, we'll play on.

0:12:320:12:35

Interesting stuff. So, Havana Club have still not lost a brain

0:12:370:12:40

from the final round

0:12:400:12:41

and they've knocked out two Eggheads.

0:12:410:12:43

Now, the next subject for you is Sport.

0:12:430:12:46

-Yes!

-Tom B, first choice.

0:12:470:12:48

Tom against...

0:12:490:12:52

Kevin or Pat or Daphne?

0:12:520:12:54

I'll go with Kevin. Yeah, why not?

0:12:540:12:56

All right, that's said with a lot of grit and determination.

0:12:560:13:00

Tom from Havana Club versus Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:13:000:13:02

Just to ensure there's no conferring,

0:13:020:13:04

please take your positions.

0:13:040:13:05

Tom, I wonder whether you've been chosen for Sport

0:13:060:13:09

because of your obsession with cricket.

0:13:090:13:10

Well, yeah, bit of an obsession with cricket. Yeah, I play for a team.

0:13:100:13:14

Bizarrely enough, I play for the hospital team in Carlisle

0:13:140:13:17

cos my dad used to work there and just

0:13:170:13:20

so happened that they needed players one year and me and my brothers

0:13:200:13:23

went found and played for them and I've played for them ever since.

0:13:230:13:26

And you went to Australia to watch The Ashes being lifted by England?

0:13:260:13:29

Yes, I did. 2000...I think it was 2011

0:13:290:13:33

and, erm, it was the New Year Test,

0:13:330:13:36

so it was over the New Year and...

0:13:360:13:38

Really hot, but it was really good and

0:13:380:13:40

just on the last day, we went and it was all English fans, pretty much.

0:13:400:13:44

No Australian fans cos we'd won it before the last day.

0:13:440:13:48

Erm...

0:13:480:13:49

-And it was just a crowd of English fans in Sydney.

-Wonderful.

0:13:490:13:52

All right, well, good luck in this round.

0:13:520:13:54

-I hope you can generate as much excitement.

-Hopefully.

0:13:540:13:57

Would you like to go with the first second set of questions, Tom?

0:13:570:13:59

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

0:13:590:14:01

Here we go. The British racing driver Johnny Herbert

0:14:040:14:07

made his Formula One debut in which year?

0:14:070:14:10

Looking at this, I believe he drove a lot in the early '90s, mid '90s,

0:14:150:14:19

so, I'm counting out '99 and 2009 as too late.

0:14:190:14:24

So, I'd have to say 1989.

0:14:240:14:27

Yes, you're right.

0:14:270:14:28

1989 it is.

0:14:280:14:29

Kevin, in February 2011, Alex Corbisiero

0:14:310:14:35

made his full England senior debut in which sport?

0:14:350:14:38

I believe he's a rugby union player.

0:14:410:14:43

So, rugby union.

0:14:430:14:45

Rugby union is correct.

0:14:450:14:46

Back to you, Tom.

0:14:480:14:49

What relation is the England cricketer Nick Compton

0:14:490:14:52

to the esteemed Denis Compton?

0:14:520:14:54

Pff, erm...

0:14:590:15:01

I'd have thought...

0:15:010:15:02

Thinking about the generation, he's probably a bit too...

0:15:020:15:07

too young to be his son.

0:15:070:15:08

But a grandson and great-grandson...

0:15:080:15:11

Think I'm going to have to go down the middle and go with grandson.

0:15:110:15:14

And grandson is the right answer. So, well done, Tom.

0:15:140:15:16

Kevin, your question to catch up.

0:15:180:15:20

Louise Hazel

0:15:200:15:22

won a gold medal at the 2010 Commonwealth games

0:15:220:15:25

in which athletics event?

0:15:250:15:27

I think she's British.

0:15:300:15:33

That wasn't mentioned in the question at all, was it? Just gave her name.

0:15:330:15:36

-Yes.

-I think she's British.

0:15:360:15:38

I've got an idea she might be a heptathlete. So, heptathlon.

0:15:390:15:43

That's very good, actually, because yes, she is.

0:15:440:15:47

She was obscured, somewhat, by Jessica Ennis.

0:15:470:15:50

In fact, she came 27th in the London Olympics, in the heptathlon.

0:15:500:15:55

But she did very well two years earlier.

0:15:550:15:58

So, heptathlon is correct.

0:15:580:16:01

Third question.

0:16:010:16:02

Tom, never make easy work of Kevin. That's the trouble, isn't it?

0:16:020:16:05

-You just can't...

-It's difficult, it's difficult.

0:16:050:16:08

-He won't go quietly.

-No.

0:16:080:16:10

In September 2001,

0:16:100:16:11

England beat Germany 5-1 in a memorable football match,

0:16:110:16:15

comprising a hat-trick from Michael Owen

0:16:150:16:17

and one each from Steven Gerrard and which other player?

0:16:170:16:20

I've got a feeling it's one of his only goals scored for England.

0:16:260:16:28

He was a striker, he didn't score many - and I remember this game.

0:16:280:16:31

And I'm pretty sure - If I'm wrong, I'm sorry -

0:16:310:16:34

but I'm pretty sure it was Emile Heskey who scored the other goal.

0:16:340:16:37

It was indeed Emile Heskey.

0:16:370:16:39

Well done.

0:16:390:16:40

Goodness, and you would've been 15 or something, then.

0:16:410:16:44

It was 2001. I was...16, 16.

0:16:440:16:48

Good memory, well done.

0:16:480:16:49

OK, Kevin, if you get this wrong, you're out.

0:16:490:16:51

Roller hockey was a demonstration sport at which summer Olympic Games?

0:16:510:16:56

I think...

0:17:050:17:06

It's very big in Spain.

0:17:080:17:10

I think this is Barcelona.

0:17:130:17:15

Barcelona, '92.

0:17:150:17:17

Yeah, you've got it right.

0:17:180:17:19

It is indeed Barcelona, 92.

0:17:190:17:21

Very well played.

0:17:210:17:22

So after three questions each, we are locked in position again.

0:17:220:17:27

Six strong answers from you both.

0:17:270:17:30

We go to Sudden Death, Tom.

0:17:300:17:33

I don't give you alternative answers.

0:17:330:17:35

Which Australian prop

0:17:350:17:37

scored the only try in the 1991 rugby union World Cup Final?

0:17:370:17:42

I can't really think of anything at this moment in time, erm,

0:17:420:17:45

Australian props...

0:17:450:17:47

Just a stab in the dark. David George, I don't know.

0:17:480:17:52

Well, the Aussies won and Tony Daly was the answer.

0:17:520:17:57

Tony Daly.

0:17:570:17:59

Kevin, your question.

0:17:590:18:01

Which cricketer took 431 test match wickets for New Zealand

0:18:010:18:06

between 1973 and 1990?

0:18:060:18:08

And got knighted as well.

0:18:090:18:11

It's Richard Hadlee. Sir Richard Hadlee.

0:18:110:18:14

Yeah, Richard Hadlee is the right answer.

0:18:140:18:16

Kevin has taken the round. He's so hard to beat.

0:18:160:18:19

-You've made a very good fist of it, Tom...

-Oh, well.

0:18:190:18:21

..but it wasn't quite enough.

0:18:210:18:23

So, you've been knocked out. So maybe the tide is turning for

0:18:230:18:25

the Eggheads, here.

0:18:250:18:27

Please, both of you come back here and we'll play on.

0:18:270:18:29

So, as it stands Havana Club have lost one brain

0:18:310:18:33

from the final round now.

0:18:330:18:34

The Eggheads have still lost those two brains.

0:18:340:18:36

The next subject is history.

0:18:360:18:38

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:18:400:18:42

-Max?

-Max...

0:18:420:18:43

I don't think he wants to do it but...

0:18:450:18:47

No, I'll do this one. It's one of my worst subjects.

0:18:470:18:50

Which Egghead, Max?

0:18:500:18:52

Do you want to take on Daphne or Pat?

0:18:520:18:54

-Who do you want to take on, Max?

-I'll take on Daphne, actually.

0:18:540:18:57

Yeah, you just want to play Daphne?

0:18:570:18:58

Yeah, I've got a bit of a thing for Daphne, so...

0:18:580:19:00

So many people say that.

0:19:000:19:02

Max from the Havana Club versus Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:19:020:19:05

Please go to the Question Room now.

0:19:050:19:07

History, Max. Would you like to go first or second?

0:19:080:19:12

I'll let Daphne go first, I guess.

0:19:120:19:14

Your first question.

0:19:180:19:20

The illustrator James Montgomery Flagg

0:19:200:19:22

is best known for a World War I recruitment poster

0:19:220:19:26

in which he appeared in the guise of which American character?

0:19:260:19:30

Oh, that's Uncle Sam.

0:19:340:19:36

Uncle Sam is quite right.

0:19:370:19:39

Back to Max.

0:19:410:19:42

Which figure from French history is believed to have been

0:19:420:19:45

born around the year 1412 in the village of Domremy?

0:19:450:19:49

Yeah...

0:19:560:19:58

Hmm, unsurprisingly, I don't really know this one.

0:19:580:20:01

I'll do a Daphne, I'll go with Joan of Arc.

0:20:040:20:07

B.

0:20:070:20:08

Going down the middle.

0:20:080:20:10

Joan of Arc is the right answer.

0:20:100:20:12

Daphne, who became British prime minister in 1935?

0:20:150:20:18

That was...

0:20:230:20:25

Stanley Baldwin.

0:20:250:20:27

He had to deal with the application crisis.

0:20:270:20:30

Stanley Baldwin is quite right.

0:20:300:20:32

OK, Max. If you can keep up with dear old Daphne on her skates.

0:20:330:20:39

The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place on which

0:20:390:20:43

day of the week?

0:20:430:20:44

Sunday.

0:20:480:20:50

Again, I'm not really sure but I'll go with Sunday.

0:20:500:20:54

Daphne, do you remember?

0:20:540:20:55

I know it wasn't a Sunday cos I had a day off school.

0:20:550:20:59

Um...

0:20:590:21:01

Thursday?

0:21:010:21:02

No, it was Tuesday actually. Tuesday is the answer.

0:21:020:21:05

Max, you've fallen behind and if Daphne gets this right,

0:21:050:21:07

she's in the final round.

0:21:070:21:09

In the treaty signed in London in 1867,

0:21:090:21:12

the major European powers agreed to grant which part

0:21:120:21:17

of the continent perpetual neutrality?

0:21:170:21:20

Oh, well I haven't heard of it, but I assume it's Switzerland.

0:21:260:21:32

-No, it's not actually.

-Oh, dear.

0:21:320:21:34

Anyone know this here?

0:21:340:21:36

-If it's not Switzerland I think it must be...

-Luxembourg!

0:21:360:21:39

Go on, tell us, Eggheads.

0:21:390:21:41

I was going to say, it must be Andorra.

0:21:410:21:42

Cos Luxembourg was certainly invaded and occupied by the Germans.

0:21:420:21:47

Kevin says it's Andorra, Daphne.

0:21:470:21:48

-Oh, is it?

-This is great.

0:21:480:21:50

It's obviously a fantastic question.

0:21:500:21:52

-It's completely...

-Luxembourg.

0:21:520:21:53

Well, I am now. I mean, I think I'm going to tell you, it's Luxembourg.

0:21:530:21:56

Yes, I realised that afterwards.

0:21:560:21:59

OK. Interesting. Didn't think you were going to slip up there,

0:22:010:22:03

you don't normally.

0:22:030:22:04

So, Max, this is good for you.

0:22:040:22:06

Yeah, I need to get this right.

0:22:060:22:07

Get this one right and you go into Sudden Death with Daphne.

0:22:070:22:10

Here we go.

0:22:100:22:11

About whom did Winston Churchill say,

0:22:110:22:14

in relation to the Russian people,

0:22:140:22:16

"Their worst misfortune was his birth,

0:22:160:22:19

"their next worst, his death"?

0:22:190:22:21

I think that was Stalin.

0:22:260:22:28

Again, an unconscious thing.

0:22:300:22:32

But...seems about the right kind of time.

0:22:320:22:35

Yeah, I'll go for that.

0:22:350:22:36

-Which country were you born in, Max?

-Russia, yeah,

0:22:360:22:38

but I'm bad at history in general so...

0:22:380:22:42

-I spent too much time doing philosophy pretty much.

-OK.

0:22:420:22:45

I wish I could tell you

0:22:450:22:46

you got this answer right

0:22:460:22:48

-cos it was right on your doorstep.

-Yeah.

0:22:480:22:50

It's not Stalin. It's Lenin.

0:22:500:22:53

Ha-ha. Yeah, that was plan B.

0:22:530:22:55

But, yeah.

0:22:550:22:56

Sorry, Lenin is the answer.

0:22:560:22:58

So you've been knocked out by Daphne.

0:22:580:23:00

-I have.

-Daphne will be in the final.

0:23:000:23:02

Please, both of you return to us and we will play that final round.

0:23:020:23:06

So, this is what we have been playing towards.

0:23:070:23:09

It is time for the final round which, as always,

0:23:090:23:11

is general knowledge.

0:23:110:23:13

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

0:23:130:23:15

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

0:23:150:23:17

So, Tom B and Max from The Havana club, Elsa, Judith and Dave

0:23:170:23:22

from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?

0:23:220:23:25

So, Al, Chloe and Tom L, you are playing to win Havana club £6,000.

0:23:270:23:33

Pat, Kevin and Daphne,

0:23:330:23:34

you're playing for something that money can't buy -

0:23:340:23:37

the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:370:23:38

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

0:23:380:23:41

This time, the questions are all general knowledge.

0:23:410:23:44

You are allowed to confer.

0:23:440:23:46

So, Havana club, the question is,

0:23:460:23:47

are your three brains able to rout

0:23:470:23:50

the Eggheads three? Over here.

0:23:500:23:52

Would you like to go first or second?

0:23:520:23:53

Think we're going to go first, please, Jeremy.

0:23:530:23:56

Here we go, good luck.

0:24:000:24:01

Which of these words means to be associated or spend time

0:24:010:24:04

with someone socially?

0:24:040:24:06

-It's hobnob.

-Hobnob.

-Hobnob.

0:24:100:24:12

It's hobnob, Jeremy.

0:24:120:24:14

Hobnob is correct.

0:24:140:24:15

Eggheads, the name of which flower derives from the fact

0:24:180:24:20

that it is one of the first to appear in the spring?

0:24:200:24:23

-Primrose is prime-rose.

-Yeah.

0:24:270:24:29

Yeah, I think that sounds fine.

0:24:310:24:32

We're going for Primrose, Jeremy.

0:24:320:24:35

Daphne is completely right, Primrose is correct.

0:24:350:24:37

Well done.

0:24:370:24:39

Back to you, Havana.

0:24:390:24:41

Who duetted with Shakin' Stevens on the 1984 UK top 10 single

0:24:410:24:45

A Rockin' Good Way?

0:24:450:24:47

-Anybody know this?

-No.

-I've no idea.

0:24:520:24:55

-You?

-I don't know either.

0:24:550:24:56

I'm vaguely familiar.

0:24:560:24:58

I've got a little niggling, kind of, something going on.

0:24:580:25:02

Shakin' Stevens...? It's not...

0:25:020:25:04

-'84. So '84. Bonnie Tyler's a...

-Bonnie Tyler's a good bet but

0:25:040:25:08

-I'm just trying to...

-You reckon?

0:25:080:25:10

Musical style-wise?

0:25:100:25:12

I can't really recall any of these people well enough.

0:25:130:25:16

Carol Decker's one that's... For some reason that's the first one

0:25:160:25:19

that I thought, but I don't know.

0:25:190:25:21

I wish I could remember what

0:25:230:25:24

a Shakin' Stevens record sounds like.

0:25:240:25:26

It sounds like that Christmas one.

0:25:260:25:27

-Oh, that one?

-Yeah, ha-ha.

0:25:270:25:30

Um, we really don't know so, we're just going to have

0:25:300:25:32

-to pick something.

-Right, so...

0:25:320:25:34

You say Carol Decker?

0:25:340:25:35

I think... I think Bonnie Tyler.

0:25:350:25:39

I don't know why.

0:25:390:25:40

-Maybe on that basis we should go for Sheena Easton?

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:25:420:25:45

We'll go for Sheena Easton then, please.

0:25:450:25:48

OK.

0:25:480:25:49

-Eggs?

-I think it's Bonnie Tyler.

0:25:500:25:52

Bonnie Tyler!

0:25:520:25:53

-Oh. You made me doubt myself.

-You made me doubt.

0:25:530:25:55

Eggheads, at Cambridge University what name is given to those

0:25:560:25:59

undergraduates who received financial help from the college?

0:25:590:26:04

Hmm, sizars.

0:26:080:26:10

I think, cos they're sort of...

0:26:100:26:11

-Have you ever heard the term comptars?

-No.

0:26:110:26:15

I've heard of sizars.

0:26:150:26:16

-And bursars...

-And bursar would be somebody who actually

0:26:160:26:19

-dispensed the money, you would think.

-Sizars.

0:26:190:26:21

Yeah, sizars sounds fine.

0:26:210:26:23

We're going to go with sizars.

0:26:230:26:25

And sizars is correct.

0:26:260:26:27

So they've taken the lead.

0:26:270:26:29

You must get this third question.

0:26:290:26:30

I hate to put the pressure on.

0:26:300:26:32

I don't want it to slip out of your hands without you realising.

0:26:320:26:35

This is your third question.

0:26:350:26:37

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution has its

0:26:370:26:40

headquarters in which town?

0:26:400:26:42

-Wow.

-RNLI.

0:26:480:26:50

-RNLI.

-Can anybody give me any geography in terms of...

0:26:500:26:53

-Penzance is...

-Cornwall.

-I know where Penzance is, it's the other two.

0:26:530:26:56

-Poole.

-Poole's in Devon, isn't it?

0:26:560:26:58

-No, it's...

-Dorset?

-..Dorset.

0:26:580:27:00

-Well, its West Country.

-..Dorset, West Country.

0:27:000:27:02

So, the... I don't know about Paignton.

0:27:020:27:04

-Where's Paignton?

-I'm not sure.

0:27:040:27:07

I... Something's drawing me to Penzance. I'm not sure why.

0:27:070:27:11

-I don't think it's Penzance but I'm not really...

-Cornwall...

0:27:110:27:14

I've been to Cornwall, I don't remember it.

0:27:140:27:15

I'm trying to remember, they did the whole Blue Peter thing

0:27:150:27:18

on collecting money for lifeboats.

0:27:180:27:22

Right, well, it's all or nothing really anyway, so...

0:27:220:27:24

If we don't know, then...

0:27:240:27:27

can maybe plump for Paignton.

0:27:270:27:29

We tried that last time, remember?

0:27:290:27:31

Didn't work.

0:27:310:27:32

We'll go with Penzance. Gut feeling.

0:27:340:27:36

Yeah, we'll go for Penzance, please, Jeremy.

0:27:360:27:39

Penzance is your answer.

0:27:390:27:42

And if you've got it wrong, the contest is over.

0:27:420:27:45

Cos of your earlier wrong answer.

0:27:460:27:47

I can see why you went for Penzance, it's got the sea air.

0:27:470:27:50

Definitely need the odd lifeboat down there.

0:27:500:27:53

But the RNLI has its headquarters in Poole.

0:27:530:27:57

-Ah.

-So, we have to say congratulations, Eggheads,

0:27:570:27:59

you have won!

0:27:590:28:01

Commiserations, cos the launch of this team into the game was amazing.

0:28:070:28:12

The skittles were going down left, right and centre.

0:28:120:28:14

But commiserations in the end to you, Havana club contenders.

0:28:140:28:18

The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,

0:28:180:28:20

and their winning streak continues.

0:28:200:28:22

It does mean you won't be going home with the £6,000,

0:28:220:28:25

so the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:250:28:28

Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:280:28:31

Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers

0:28:310:28:34

have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:340:28:36

£7,000 says they don't.

0:28:360:28:38

Till then, goodbye.
