0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Challenging the awesome might of our quiz champions
0:00:36 > 0:00:38today are The Eggstinguishaires.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40This team all work for the fire service
0:00:40 > 0:00:45and are part of Green Watch, based at a fire station in Shipley.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Rob. I'm 46 and I'm a firefighter.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Matt. I'm 33 and I'm a firefighter.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Alan. I'm 41 and I'm the watch manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Mick. I'm 48 and I'm a firefighter.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Phil. I'm 41 years old and I'm the crew manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Good afternoon, guys. Welcome. Good to see you. Eggstinguishaires.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I need to break this name up, firstly.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Extinguishing is obviously the fire mention,
0:01:15 > 0:01:20but they're going to Egg-stinguish today.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Yes, Eggheads.- CHRIS: No.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Then also you've got Aire at the end of the word because you are...
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Jut cos of the River Aire, which is the valley that we work in.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34It runs through Leeds, in from the Yorkshire Dales.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36You've given this name a lot of thought.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Yes, you can tell.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Any tactics for dealing with this lot?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Yeah, just go for the jugular, I think.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Starting at this end.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Yeah, you've obviously watched the programme.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52OK, good luck to you guys.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:53 > 0:01:55up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57However, if they fail to beat the Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59the prize money rolls over on to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02So, Eggstinguishaires, the Eggheads have actually won the last
0:02:02 > 0:02:07seven games, which means £8,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Shall we start?
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Yeah.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13OK, first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Who would like this?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Who's going to do that, then?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- I could do it.- You do it. Go on.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24OK, Matt's going to do it.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Matt's going to do it. Which Egghead is Matt going to take on?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Go for Chris?- Yeah, we'll take on Chris.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Matt from the Eggstinguishaires against Chris,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34who's nodding cheerily.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Yeah, I don't mind. Film & Television, yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39You're in a very good mood these last few weeks.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Yeah.- Yeah? OK.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- It'll soon change.- Somebody will say or do the wrong thing.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Hopefully not today, anyway.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Well, Chris and Matt, here we go. Film & Television.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Your choice, Eggstinguishaire -
0:03:00 > 0:03:02would you like to go first or second?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03I'll go first, thank you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09See if you can extinguish Chris now.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Christopher Timothy became well known for playing which role
0:03:11 > 0:03:17in a popular TV series transmitted between 1978 and 1990?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I can remember Jonathan Creek.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Joey Boswell, I don't think it's that one.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I think I'll go with James Herriot.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32James Herriot is the right answer.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Is that local, Eggheads, to Green Watch?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39A little bit further north.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41It was Yorkshire.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44All right, Chris, your question.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47In March 2013, Prince Charles was guest editor
0:03:47 > 0:03:49of which television programme?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Well, he's not known for any particular love of soccer,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57so it's unlikely to be Match Of The Day.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Don't think it would be Blue Peter, which is a kids' programme,
0:04:01 > 0:04:02of course.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05But he has got various interests in the country,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07so it would have to be Countryfile.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Countryfile is quite right. OK, Matt, your question.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15The film director Baz Luhrmann was born in which country?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I don't know this one.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24But something's telling me Australia.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I think I'll go with Australia.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Well done, you're quite right. Australia it is.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Chris, who stars as a Floridian estate agent
0:04:38 > 0:04:43opposite Jason Statham's character in the 2013 film Parker?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Mm, Floridian.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Floridian.- Yeah, as in Florida.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Don't think it's Jennifer Aniston.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06I don't think it's Jennifer Garner, but a lot of Florida is
0:05:06 > 0:05:13populated by Hispanic people, either from the US or Cuba.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17The only Hispanic actress there is Jennifer Lopez,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19so all things being equal,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23a Floridian character would be played by Jennifer Lopez.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24That's what I'll go for.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Let's see what your colleagues think. Is he right?
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Yeah, he is right.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Yeah, you're 100% right, Chris.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Jennifer Lopez.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Matt, the short-lived TV soap Albion Market was set in which city?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Again, I don't know this.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47But with the word Albion, I can only associate it with
0:05:47 > 0:05:51football from Birmingham, so I'm going to go with Birmingham.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52No.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Anyone?- No, we thought Birmingham as well.- Manchester it is.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01So a chance for Chris to take the round
0:06:01 > 0:06:04if he gets this third question right. Here we go, Chris.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07In the 1953 film comedy of the same name,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10what is The Titfield Thunderbolt?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11LAUGHTER
0:06:16 > 0:06:20She was built in 1838 for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway
0:06:20 > 0:06:23by Todd, Kitson & Laird, at Liverpool, named Lion.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26It's a locomotive.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- You were never, ever going to get that wrong, were you?- That is my...
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Well, it's not my greatest film of all time,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34but it's my comfort zone film.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36The answer is locomotive, you're quite right.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Oh, Matt, I'm sorry.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41It's sort of glorious to go out to Chris on a train question
0:06:41 > 0:06:44when he's steaming along like that, isn't it?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Bit unfortunate, that, for him to come up with it at the end.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50The one thing he will never, ever get wrong.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Matt, you've been knocked out. Chris, you're in the final round.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58As it stands, the Eggstinguishaires have lost
0:06:58 > 0:07:02a brain from the final round, the Eggheads have not lost one yet.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Very early days, though. It's Sport now.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Alan, I think.- Good luck, Al.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Alan?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Which Egghead? Can't be Chris.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Has to be Daphne.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Doesn't matter, does it? Nobody wins.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19OK, well, Daphne, then.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Alan from the Eggstinguishaires against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Good luck in Sport.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Tell us, Alan, whether you want to go
0:07:32 > 0:07:34with the first or second set of questions.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Here we go. Good luck.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44What does the letter L stand for in LTA,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46the name of the British Tennis Organisation?
0:07:49 > 0:07:55Yeah, I had the good fortune to go to Wimbledon in 2002.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56It's Lawn.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Lawn is correct. Well done.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Daphne, who was named the World Sportswoman of the Year
0:08:03 > 0:08:06at the 2013 Laureus Sports Awards?
0:08:12 > 0:08:13That was Jessica Ennis.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Yes, I read it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Jessica Ennis is correct.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK, your question now, Alan.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Which horse won the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2013?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Unfortunately I wasn't on it, on this occasion.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It was given a fantastic ride by Barry Geraghty
0:08:39 > 0:08:41and it was Bobs Worth.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Oh, you know your racing. Well done. It was Bobs Worth.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Whenever people start an answer with the word "unfortunately",
0:08:47 > 0:08:48I fear the worst.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50But not in your case, clearly.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Daphne, in which year did McLaren first enter
0:08:55 > 0:08:57the Formula One World Championship?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Do you know? I haven't got a clue.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I don't think it was '56.
0:09:12 > 0:09:18I think they're named after Bruce McLaren, so 1966.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20'66 is the right answer.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27She does that, I'm afraid. It's less about luck than it looks.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Alan, which football club advertised for a new manager
0:09:32 > 0:09:35in 1925, stating that,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38"Gentlemen whose sole ability to build up a good side
0:09:38 > 0:09:42"depends on the payment of heavy and exorbitant transfer fees
0:09:42 > 0:09:44"need not apply."
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Eh, I'm stuck, a little bit, on this one.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56I am actually an Arsenal fan, so if it's them, I'll never live it down.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01But that is my gut instinct.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I think I'm going to go for Arsenal.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Oh, Dave will know the answer.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Shall I check with Tremendous Knowledge Dave?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11It is Arsenal.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12It is Arsenal.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17But that's... Is there a way of guessing that from the date?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Not really, but one thing you could say with Arsenal that's been...
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Certainly before the war,
0:10:24 > 0:10:30it was quite an esteemed establishment in terms of football.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32The way that the board have directed,
0:10:32 > 0:10:37the people who ran Arsenal, it would be the kind of thing that they'd do.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Right, well, well done to you on that answer, Alan.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Let's see what Daphne does now.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Daphne, if you get this wrong, you know what happens.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48It's curtains or cardigans.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51In which year did Roger Millward lead Hull Kingston Rovers to
0:10:51 > 0:10:56victory over Hull FC in the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final
0:10:56 > 0:11:00despite suffering a broken jaw in the early minutes?
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Again, I really don't know.
0:11:11 > 0:11:141980.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Eggstinguishaires, has she been extinguished?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I would imagine that that is correct.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Yeah, with a heavy heart they're telling me that you're right,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23and you are.
0:11:23 > 0:11:261980, so we go to Sudden Death, Alan.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Sudden Death, now, so I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32In an Olympic individual medley swimming event,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35which stroke is swum in the penultimate leg?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42I think they start off in the pool doing backstroke.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I know they do fly last.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Crawl last.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55So it's between butterfly and breaststroke.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I'll go for butterfly.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Well, you were right when you narrowed it down
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and wrong when you chose.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Breaststroke is the answer.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07OK, Daphne, your question now.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Sudden Death, so if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Here's the question.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14The Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome was opened in which city in 2012?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Glasgow.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Glasgow is the right answer. You're in the final round. Alan, sorry.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Knocked out on Sport by Daphne.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23You won't be in the final.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Please, both of you, rejoin your teams and we'll play on.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31As it stands, Eggstinguishaires have lost two brains from the final
0:12:31 > 0:12:33round, the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Who would like Arts & Books, of our firemen here?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Thanks, lads. THEY LAUGH
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Phil.- Yeah.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48They've chosen you. Against anyone but Chris or Daphne.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Shall I take Dave on in a war of the roses?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Yeah.- A war of the roses, Dave?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- OK, Dave?- Yeah. Yeah, it's all right.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I've lost my last two Arts & Books though.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Oh, so you've chosen well. - I don't think so.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Phil from the Eggstinguishaires against Dave from the Eggheads -
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Arts & Books. Please go to the Question Room.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10I'm glad you're here today, Phil,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13cos you had a narrow brush with a tree recently, I gather.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18Oh, blimey, Jeremy, I did, yes. Out dog-walking, myself and my wife.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23We were walking up a steep track. A still day, cold, still day.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27I went to investigate a noise of some crackling.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I thought it was fire so I went to look for the plume.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36Would you believe, a 200-year-old tree fell towards us?
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Starting falling towards us.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43So we had to make a quick escape and a real sprint.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Both my wife and myself got clear, but only by about 3ft.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52Out came the dog, tootling along with a big smile on his face.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Well, as I say, I'm glad you're here to play Arts & Books.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59You're up against Dave. Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:59 > 0:14:00I'll go first.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Here we go with your first question, Phil.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Which book starts with the line, "I wish Giovanni would kiss me."?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17"I wish Giovanni would kiss me."
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I'm going to have to take a guess, Jeremy.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I'll guess with Eat, Pray, Love.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Eat, Pray, Love is the right answer.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29OK, your question, Dave.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Henri Cartier-Bresson, who died in 2004,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36was a leading figure in which field of the arts?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Yeah, I don't think he was a potter, I don't think he was a poet.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46He was a photographer.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Photography.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Photography is the right answer. OK, Phil, here's your question.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Which of these characters appears in illustrations for various poems
0:14:56 > 0:14:58in the 1927 book Now We Are Six?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Em...
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I'm going to rule Scrooge out.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16I don't think it'll be Winnie-the-Pooh.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I'll go with Bilbo Baggins.
0:15:18 > 0:15:25It's actually Winnie-the-Pooh. It's one of those... Well, go on, Daphne.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- AA Milne.- AA Milne classics.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Tremendous Knowledge Dave, here's your question to take the lead.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35John Holman is the central character of the 1975 novel
0:15:35 > 0:15:38The Fog, by which writer?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Right, the only Fog that I can remember is a film.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47I think it was John Carpenter.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I think it was a horror or sci-fi type of thing.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54So that would rule out Roald Dahl for me.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Ann Rice is more anything to do with a vampire.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I'm going to go for James Herbert.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01James Herbert is right.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Phil, the Flemish artist Jan Gossaert
0:16:06 > 0:16:08worked during which period?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I think mainly through the period of his life.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18PHIL LAUGHS
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Which was... I've not got a clue.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Again, it will be a guess, I'm afraid.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- I will go with 1500s.- 1500s is right. - Oh, unbelievable.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well done, I'm really glad.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35It's like the same bit of luck you had with the tree, there. Well done.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36OK, so it's equal.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39You need to get this one right, Dave, to take the round.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Otherwise, we go to Sudden Death.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Which writer created the fictional underground world of Pellucidar?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Right, well, Zane Grey I'd associate with Westerns.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59F Scott Fitzgerald more the classic, 1920s,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01The Great Gatsby type of things.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03With an underground world,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Edgar Rice Burroughs resonates for me.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So I'll go Edgar Rice Burroughs.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Edgar Rice Burroughs is the right answer.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Dave, well done, you've taken the round. You're in the final.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Sorry, Phil. You've been knocked out.- No, that's good.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Both of you, please come back. Rejoin your team-mates.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20So as it stands, the Eggstinguishaires have lost
0:17:20 > 0:17:22three brains from the final round,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24the Eggheads have still not lost a brain.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28This is the moment to just take one of them out.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Cause them a bit of damage.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33The next subject is Politics. Who would like this?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Mick or Rob, isn't it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- You take it.- I'll take that one, Jeremy, please.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Mick against which Egghead? It can be Kevin or Barry.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47One of the gentlemen on either end.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I'll take Kevin, please.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52OK. A hush descends.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Mick from the Eggstinguishaires on Politics against Kevin.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03OK, good luck in this Politics round. You're up against Kevin.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05You can go with the first or second set of questions, Mick.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I would like to go with the rest of the team
0:18:07 > 0:18:09and go with the first set of questions, please.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Here we go, Mick.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Which country's head of government has an official
0:18:17 > 0:18:19residence at the Palace of Moncloa?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27It doesn't sound particularly Hungarian or a name that
0:18:27 > 0:18:31would be associated with Denmark, so I'm going to go with Spain, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Spain is the right answer.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Kevin, your question.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Which British politician stood down as the Shadow Olympics Minister
0:18:42 > 0:18:45immediately after the 2012 Paralympic Games?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I think that was Tessa Jowell.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Tessa Jowell is correct.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Long involvement with the Olympics.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Your question, Mick.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04The former employment lawyer Chuka Umunna
0:19:04 > 0:19:06became an MP in 2010 for which Party?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14I think I read something about him in the papers recently.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I think it was to do with the Conservative.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21If I'm correct, he was linked with the next leadership...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23of the Conservative Party, but I may be wrong.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26It's actually not Conservative.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I think you may have confused him with a guy named Adam Afriyie.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31That's it, yeah.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Chuka Umunna is Labour.- Oh. - He is Labour.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Rising star.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38OK, Kevin, here we go.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42The term "leaderene" was invented for which political figure?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'm just trying to remember who came up with it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52It's Margaret Thatcher.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Was it Norman St John-Stevas who came up with that?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, Margaret Thatcher.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Margaret Thatcher is the right answer, Kevin. Well done.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Mick, back with you. You need to get this one right.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Boyko Borisov has held the post of national karate coach
0:20:08 > 0:20:12and prime minister of which country?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22I don't know the name. It's not one that I associate with that sport.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Unfortunately I'm going to have to guess.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31For that reason, I'm going to go with Bulgaria.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34You've done well. It is Bulgaria.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37It's a team of good guessers here.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Certainly scored more than the average right on your guessing,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42this team. Well done.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45It's very important in these quizzes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Kevin, if you get this one right, you're in the final round.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51In February 2013, Jack Lew was appointed to which
0:20:51 > 0:20:54position in the government of the United States?
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Jack Lew is L-E-W.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06I think he replaced Timothy Geithner at the Treasury.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09He's the new Treasury Secretary.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Treasury Secretary is the right answer.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Kevin, you've taken the round. Sorry, Mick.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- He's always quite unsparing, Kevin. - Oh, he's very good.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21He is very, very good. One wrong answer and it can be fatal.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24You've been knocked out, I'm afraid, and Kevin will be in the final.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26If you both come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:21:33 > 0:21:34is General Knowledge.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:37 > 0:21:38won't be able to take part in this round.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Matt, Alan, Mick and Phil from the Eggstinguishaires,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Good luck here, Rob. You're playing to win the Eggstinguishaires £8,000.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Kevin, Dave, Daphne, Chris and Barry, you're playing
0:21:53 > 0:21:57for something that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:22:02 > 0:22:04and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Obviously no-one available for that.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Rob, the question is,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12is your one brain able to take apart the Eggheads' five, here?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Put them out, in firefighter speak.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I think I'll stick with our format and go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Good luck to you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Enola Gay, Joan Of Arc and Souvenir were UK top 40 hits
0:22:30 > 0:22:31for which group in the 1980s?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Right, erm, well...
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I'm old enough to remember all of these bands.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I don't think it was Bronski Beat.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Tears For Fears, I had a few of their tracks over the years,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55but I don't think it's them. I think it's OMD.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59OMD is the right answer.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Great to get that first one right, Rob. Well done.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Eggheads, for what does the letter F
0:23:05 > 0:23:06stand in the abbreviation FDC?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- First Day Cover.- First Day Cover.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15FDC is First Day Cover, so it stands for First.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20First is the right answer. First Day Cover.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Rob, your second question. Take your time.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28A woman named Frances Nisbet married which historical figure
0:23:28 > 0:23:30on the island of Nevis in 1787?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Well, I've heard of all of these names.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I don't think it's the Duke of Wellington.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I'm just going from basically the location.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Nevis, it sounds as though it should be in the Caribbean,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56so I'm going to go for Nelson.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Horatio Nelson.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Horatio Nelson is the right answer.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Where is Nevis, then?
0:24:03 > 0:24:04- Caribbean.- It is the Caribbean.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06St Kitts and Nevis.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Kitts and Nevis. I see. Yes, yes. OK.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I was having associations with Ben Nevis
0:24:11 > 0:24:14and thinking it was up in Scotland somewhere.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19Eggheads, which nautical term means to put a ship onto its side,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21often to clean its bottom?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26It's careen, isn't it?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Definitely.- We're all agreed on this one. That's careening.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Careen is the right answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Careen is correct.
0:24:34 > 0:24:392-2. When there are five of them, they do... They play strongly.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41The chances of some cracking arguments,
0:24:41 > 0:24:42but we haven't got there yet.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I just hope there's a bit of conflict and they talk each other out of it.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Yeah, you're so right. That's what we need. A small fire to start.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Which you then don't put out.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52OK, your third question.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Which philosopher created the concept that this world is
0:24:55 > 0:24:57the best of all possible worlds?
0:25:02 > 0:25:08Well, I haven't heard of that phrase in relation to philosophy anyway.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13It's just going to be a pure guess, I'm afraid.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20I think I'm going to do what one of the Eggheads does
0:25:20 > 0:25:21and go down the middle.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Descartes.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Let's see if the Eggheads know. Is it right?
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Leibniz.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- Leibniz...- It was famously parodied by Voltaire in the play Candide.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31It's Leibniz.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34No worries.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37You're not out yet, but if the Eggheads get this one right,
0:25:37 > 0:25:38they will have ended the contest.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Eggheads, in the final round, your third question.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Which country, which adopted a new constitution in 2009,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48is officially known as a Plurinational State
0:25:48 > 0:25:51to reflect its multiethnic nature?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59I'm just wondering if Venezuela had a new constitution under Chavez.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05I'm thinking this one... I don't know this, I have to say.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10I'm thinking one of Chavez's pals is Evo Morales in Bolivia,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12who is the first president that they've had
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- from one of the indigenous groups. - That's good thinking.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18A lot of this sort of thing has been going on there,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21to recognise the fact there's the Quechua, the Aymara.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25The ethnic groups make up about a quarter, well, more - the majority.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32In terms of multiethnic, I would think Bolivia actually fits the bill
0:26:32 > 0:26:35better than Venezuela, but that's my offering on it.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I don't think it would be Ecuador.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42That logic makes perfect sense to me.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Ecuador has also got another member of their little group as president -
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Rafael Correa, who again is, you know,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53very much towards the rights of the indigenous peoples.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56But in terms of the sheer numbers of the population
0:26:56 > 0:26:59that belong to ethnic groups, I would think Bolivia sounds best.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04That's all we've got to go on, really. That's fine.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Well, we're not sure on this one,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08but Kevin has put a very powerful argument together
0:27:08 > 0:27:10to suggest that it should be Bolivia.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12We all subscribe to that argument,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14so we're going for Bolivia.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17If you've got this right, you've taken the contest.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22The country with the Plurinational Constitution...
0:27:22 > 0:27:23is Bolivia.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Well...you did have a little demonstration of just
0:27:35 > 0:27:37how much knowledge there is on that side.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Yep. Some seriously good knowledge in there.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41How many Bolivian tribes did you list, Kevin, two?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45I mentioned the two biggest indigenous groups of the Quechua
0:27:45 > 0:27:46and the Aymara.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Right, you didn't go into all the others.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52No, there's a few, but they're the big ones.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Good play by the man down the end, here,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59and by you all for buying the argument of Bolivia.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Commiserations to your team. - Thank you, Jeremy.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Sorry you couldn't extinguish the Eggs.- Oh, no.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06I think the water just ran out on us.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08They were on fire today, as well.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Their winning streak continues.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15It does mean that you won't be going home with the £8,000,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Who will beat you? Putting a run together now.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Join us next time to see
0:28:23 > 0:28:28if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31£9,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
