0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:16Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:33against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And challenging our quiz champions
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are The Pod Squad from Chester. These old school friends
0:00:39 > 0:00:45put together a weekly podcast on football called Soccer Max. Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hello. I'm Neil, I'm 31 and an energy analyst.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi. I'm Gareth, I'm 31 and a mental health team co-ordinator.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi. My name's John, I'm 31 and a sales manager.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi. I'm Alex, I'm 31 and I work in shipping.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi. I'm Paul, I'm 32 and I'm a regional director.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09Welcome to you, Pod Squad. Our Eggheads are all tech savvy, but explain to those who don't know
0:01:09 > 0:01:16- what exactly is this podcast. - It's a free audio conversation that we have every week about football.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21We stick it up on iTunes and people download it and listen to it.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27- How many people download it? - Thousands!- It started off at quite a few hundred
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- and it's steadily declined. - I see. OK.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36We've got a hardcore loyal band of maybe six or seven who...
0:01:36 > 0:01:41Is it about any particular club? Do you all support similar clubs?
0:01:41 > 0:01:47We've got three Liverpool, one Manchester United and I'm Everton. All north-west.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53But we talk about everything - Europe, the lower leagues, anything topical.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56OK, well, I'll try to get my ears round that.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Soccer Max it's called?- Yeah.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads that money rolls over.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11The Eggheads have won the last 16 games
0:02:11 > 0:02:15so £17,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:15 > 0:02:22Now I'm sure you are hoping for Sport, but our first Head to Head is going to be on History.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Who would like to play this one?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Alex...- I fancy that one.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- You've got a keen interest in history.- Yeah, I'd like it.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Alex is the logical choice. He likes his history. - All right. And which Egghead?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Who do we think, chaps? - Try to take Kevin out?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Let's go for it! - Kevin, please.- All right.
0:02:48 > 0:02:55Going for the jugular. Let's have Alex and Kevin into the Question Room so you can't confer.
0:02:56 > 0:03:03Alex, I don't need to remind you you've got your work cut out here against the tall poppy on History.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09- Never lost, never got a question wrong.- Brilliant(!) - It's got to change sometime!
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Do you want to go first or second? - First, please, Dermot.
0:03:18 > 0:03:24OK, Alex. What nationality was the 16th-century explorer Hernan Cortes?
0:03:27 > 0:03:33Em, well, I know the Spanish did conquer a fair bit of South America
0:03:33 > 0:03:36so I think he's Spanish.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Spanish, yes, indeed. OK, easing yourself in.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43See if Kevin can do that.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47How old was Elizabeth I at the time of her death?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Well, she died in 1603...
0:03:54 > 0:03:58..and she was born in 1533.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02So she didn't quite make her 70th birthday, so 69.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Do you know what month she died?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- March, I think.- Oh, OK.
0:04:07 > 0:04:13All right. It is the right answer, of course. 69.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15The death of Elizabeth I.
0:04:15 > 0:04:22Alex, second question. The destrier, used in medieval warfare, was what type of creature?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Hm, medieval warfare.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Destrier...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I don't think it would be a dog.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I don't really know the answer, but I wouldn't have thought a dog.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So I'm left with elephant or horse.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Medieval.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46I'd say a horse. Something to do with cavalry, perhaps. A horse.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49OK, it IS a horse. Well worked out, Alex.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53You have a lead, but Kevin hasn't faced his second question.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59Here it is. Which country was known as Northern Rhodesia until its independence in 1964?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Yeah, Southern Rhodesia is now Zimbabwe
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- and Northern Rhodesia was Zambia. - Yes, it was.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Well done, Kevin. You have two.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17Joan of Navarre married which English king, having previously borne eight children
0:05:17 > 0:05:21to her first husband, John IV, Duke of Brittany?
0:05:26 > 0:05:31It's going to be a bit of a guess, to be honest. I'm not 100% sure
0:05:31 > 0:05:33at all.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'll go Richard II.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42OK. Richard II married Joan of Navarre. No, he didn't. Kevin?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Henry IV.- Henry IV.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Ah, now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:54You're at Kevin's mercy here. Henry Addington was British Prime Minister during which period?
0:06:01 > 0:06:031801 to 1804.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07He was known as Viscount Sidmouth at other times.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12OK. We'll confirm it is the correct answer. 1801 to 1804.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well tried, Alex,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18but not to be. It means Kevin goes through to the final round.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23No place for you. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28As it stands, the Pod Squad have lost one brain. The Eggheads are all there.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Our next subject is Arts and Books.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Who wants to take this one?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36The one we were hoping wasn't going to come up!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Do you want to try it, John? You've read books!
0:06:41 > 0:06:46I don't want to try it, but I know it's the one we all dreaded, so...
0:06:46 > 0:06:52None of us really wanted Arts and Books, but we're going to put John up.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57I love the way you bigged him up. "You've read some books."
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Just a couple. - Not many.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06- Which Egghead would you like to play?- You can have whoever you want.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- TKD? - Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- Tremendous Knowledge Dave, please. - Tremendous Knowledge Dave. What a good idea.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Let's have John and Dave into the Question Room, please.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- John, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go second.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30OK, see if Dave trips up for you. Dave, first question to you.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords are titles in a series of books by which author?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I've got to go JRR Tolkien,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48but not with confidence. I see CS Lewis there.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51But JRR Tolkien.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Kings and swords, plenty of those in Tolkien, but it's not, though.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- CS Lewis. - No! It's George RR Martin.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I want to hear more about him from the other Eggheads.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08- Game of Thrones? - The fantasy series.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10All part of the sequence.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14A good swerve, John, but it all depends
0:08:14 > 0:08:17on getting your first one correct.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22The ArcelorMittal Orbit in London's Olympic Park,
0:08:22 > 0:08:29which became the UK's tallest sculpture on its completion, is approximately what height in metres?
0:08:33 > 0:08:38Right. I did make it to the Olympics, so I've seen it,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- but I don't remember reading anything...- You didn't measure it!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45No, I didn't.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48714 sounds too high to me.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- I'm going to go for 114 metres.- OK.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Maybe helped that you did see it. We've all seen pictures of it,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03but maybe seeing it physically helped. You got it right. 114.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Well, early days,
0:09:06 > 0:09:12but you have a lead. Dave, Deaths and Entrances, first published in 1946
0:09:12 > 0:09:18and heavily influenced by the impact of WWII, is a collection of poetry by whom?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I'll have to go Philip Larkin.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- OK, Philip Larkin. Daphne looking concerned.- Dylan Thomas?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Dylan Thomas.- Dylan Thomas! - Yeah.- Dylan Thomas.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Didn't he work at the BBC during the war, Dylan Thomas?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41He did briefly, I think. Yes, that's right.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- And then off to Wales again afterwards.- OK, John,
0:09:45 > 0:09:50you have a chance to book your place in the final round with this.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54In the Shakespeare play King Lear, who does Cordelia marry?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03As you can probably tell, I'm a little bit stumped on this.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- Have you read it or seen it?- No. I'm pretty weak on my Shakespeare.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I think I'm just going to take a punt at King of Spain.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19King of Spain for Cordelia. One of those diplomatic marriages.
0:10:19 > 0:10:25It was to the King of France, not the King of Spain.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27So Dave faces another question.
0:10:27 > 0:10:35The full title of Henry Raeburn's 18th-century painting commonly known as The Skating Minister
0:10:35 > 0:10:39is The Reverend Robert Walker Skating On what?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Em, I don't know this,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50but I've got a leaning towards the Lake of Menteith,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53but like all my leanings it's probably wrong.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58- Going for that?- Yep. - You've gone for Lake of Menteith.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- You're going under, Dave! - Duddingston Loch?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Yes, it is. Duddingston Loch.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08You're sinking without trace.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I don't need another question.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16Well played, John. You're in the final round. Both please rejoin your teams.
0:11:16 > 0:11:22Halfway through the Head to Heads and both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Our next subject is Sport!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Who'd like to play this?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29It's Neil, Gareth or Paul.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Decisions...
0:11:31 > 0:11:37- Do you want to do it? - I think we should let Paul do it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Potentially, we've got Music and TV, which we'd need you for.
0:11:41 > 0:11:48- OK, we'll send Paul. We'd rather it was just football. - It might not even be football!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50OK, Paul. Daphne, Judith or Pat.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Who do you think? - Judith? - Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00We're going to say Judith. We know she doesn't like it and my grandma really likes her cardigans.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05OK. So you're trying to butter her up for picking her.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Let's have Paul and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Let's see if you can get the Eggheads on the run by knocking Judith out.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- First or second? - I'd like to go second, please.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24All right, first question, Judith.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Which position is most associated with the footballer Joleon Lescott?
0:12:32 > 0:12:37Absolutely no idea. Never heard of him. Joleon Lescott...
0:12:37 > 0:12:42- Perhaps he... A striker. - Striker? Well, he does score goals.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Paul would have liked this.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49He asked for football questions. You tell us, Paul.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54He's a centre back for Manchester City.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- You'd better translate for Judith! - What does that mean?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00He's a defender, sorry!
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Yeah, Joleon Lescott. An England defender as well.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Is this going to work for Paul, going second?
0:13:08 > 0:13:13In which year did Mike Atherton first play Test match cricket for England?
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Well... he's certainly too old for '99.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28And I'm sure he was playing already in '89.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32So I've got to go for '79.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34OK, '79.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39A prodigious talent, but he'd have to have been very good.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45No, 1989. Your reasoning was good, but you went too far back.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47OK, well, there we are.
0:13:47 > 0:13:54Nothing on the board. Piggy French became well-known as a leading British competitor in which sport?
0:13:57 > 0:14:03Oh, dear. I haven't heard of him either. Well, horsey people have names
0:14:03 > 0:14:05like Piggy and whatnot.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I'm going to try...equestrianism.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Equestrianism. It is! You've got one on the board.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Paul playing catch up.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Which boxer suffered a controversial defeat to Timothy Bradley
0:14:18 > 0:14:22in a June, 2012, welterweight world championship bout?
0:14:26 > 0:14:32Well, I remember Amir Khan losing in a very controversial fight.
0:14:32 > 0:14:38But I also remember Manny Pacquiao losing, I think, for the first or second time.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43I don't think Floyd Mayweather's lost or he's lost very few times.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50It's between Pacquiao and Khan. I'm going to go Amir Khan.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54No, it's Manny Pacquiao. Oh, dear.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Well, Judith...
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Don't hold your breath.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06A chance for victory here. Which team won the first Rugby League World Cup in 1954?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13I certainly wasn't looking at rugby league results in 1954!
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Rugby league...Great Britain.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20It's the right answer, Judith!
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- Oh, well!- Oh, gosh! I am really embarrassed.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- I'm so sorry. - And very pleased.- I'm thrilled!
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- But I'm really sorry, too. - After Joleon Lescott, we thought
0:15:32 > 0:15:35it wouldn't be the best of rounds.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41Paul looked chirpy, but you turned it round and you're in the final and have deprived Paul of a place.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Both please come back and join your teams.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I have no idea which way this game is going to go!
0:15:49 > 0:15:56Swinging back and forward! Pod Squad have now lost two brains and the Eggheads have lost one.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00We reach our last Head to Head and this one is Music.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Two of you left.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Gareth and Neil.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- I think we've got to take a tactical one.- And go for Gareth.
0:16:09 > 0:16:15- You're good on music. - Well, we'll see.- And leave me to the end.- Who shall I face, Neil?
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- We'll put Gareth up. - And then it's Pat or Daphne.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Pat or Daphne?- I fancy Daphne.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Daphne's strong. You could get rid of her as well.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Yeah.- Daphne, please.- All right.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34Gareth and Daphne, could you both please go to the Question Room?
0:16:34 > 0:16:39OK, Gareth, this could level it up if you can get rid of Daphne,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42if you'll excuse me using that terminology.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47- First or second, Gareth? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56Good luck, Gareth. Going first. Cantatrice is the name for a female what?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I have absolutely no idea.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06So I'm going to have to guess.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Unless it's a type of singer, I suppose,
0:17:11 > 0:17:18- I'm going to guess conductor. That was the first thing that came to my head.- Conductor.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21No, it's not. It is a type of singer.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27I thought you were going to go for singer, but you went for conductor.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It's linked with cantatas.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34- It's just a French term for singer. - OK, Daphne, your first question.
0:17:34 > 0:17:40The boy band Five had their first UK Top Ten hit single in which year?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I hate boy bands!
0:17:48 > 0:17:53- I haven't got a clue about them. - I thought you'd be their target market.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55No!
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Five?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I can't even place them.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Come on, think!
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Boy band Five...
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Middle one. 1997?
0:18:12 > 0:18:17I love the way you share your internal dialogue with us. "Come on, think!"
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- It's the right answer, Daphne! 1997.- I'm sorry.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- That was a pure guess. - I think we got that!
0:18:26 > 0:18:281997.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Makes the task harder for Gareth.
0:18:31 > 0:18:38"The child is a king, the carollers sing, the old has passed, there's a new beginning,"
0:18:38 > 0:18:42are the opening lyrics to which Cliff Richard song?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Are you a Cliff fan, Gareth? - Absolutely huge!
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- Yeah. No, not really, but I think I know this one.- Oh!
0:18:56 > 0:19:01From Christmases past. I think it's Mistletoe and Wine.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Yes, it is! Mistletoe and Wine.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06OK, Daphne.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11Which musical, first performed on Broadway in 1991,
0:19:11 > 0:19:16features the songs The Movie In My Mind and I Still Believe?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25I'm supposed to know all the musicals, but no,
0:19:25 > 0:19:31it doesn't ring a bell. Well, it's not Les Miserables.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Oh...Rent.- OK, Rent.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39No, it's not.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45- Miss Saigon.- Miss Saigon. Well, you have a big chance here, Gareth,
0:19:45 > 0:19:53to attain the lead. Jazz musician McCoy Tyner is best known for his expertise on which instrument?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I can't abide jazz.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05It's going to be... It's going to be a guess.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I guessed the middle one last time.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I'm thinking trumpet or saxophone.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15And I'm going to go...
0:20:15 > 0:20:17trumpet.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21OK, trumpet for McCoy Tyner.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27All instruments very familiar to jazz aficionados. Gareth's not one of those. Can't abide it.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Probably likes it even less now when I tell you it's piano.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Piano. So a chance for Daphne.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40The guitarist Neil Giraldo married which US singer in 1982?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I've no idea!
0:20:48 > 0:20:50No idea.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Pat Benatar.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02- Pat Benatar. - I don't know it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Well, you do now. It is the right answer. Pat Benatar is correct.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Married Neil Giraldo in 1982.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13You're into the final round. No place for you, Gareth.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Both please come back and join your teams.
0:21:17 > 0:21:23After some enthralling Head to Heads, it's time for the final round which is on General Knowledge.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26But those of you who lost
0:21:26 > 0:21:33won't be allowed to take part, so Gareth, Alex and Paul from the Pod Squad
0:21:33 > 0:21:37and Dave from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Neil and John, you're playing to win the Pod Squad £17,000.
0:21:41 > 0:21:49Pat, Judith, Kevin and Daphne are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge. Just to remind you.
0:21:54 > 0:22:01And you can confer in the final round. So are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Neil and John, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08We will go first, please, Dermot.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Very good luck to you. Here's your first question.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21Moshe Dayan was prominent in the politics of which country?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26It sounds like a Jewish name to me.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Yeah, I mean... - Which would rule out Japan.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- My instant leaning was towards Israel.- So is mine.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- But there is... - A Jewish contingent in Russia.- Yeah.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Our first instinct was Israel.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- Mine certainly was.- Yeah. - What do you think?
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I've a slight leaning towards Russia as well, but go with that.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55We don't know her. Or him. We're not sure!
0:22:55 > 0:23:00We think, just on the basis of the name, it sounds Jewish-sounding,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03so we'll go for Israel.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Israel, OK. Looking worried, Neil!
0:23:05 > 0:23:11You don't know her or him. It's a him with a female Prime Minister at the time.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Israel is the right answer. Israel is correct.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17OK, listen,
0:23:17 > 0:23:22a very good start. A tricky one to identify and you did. Eggheads,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27what is the value of the banknote released into circulation by the Bank of England
0:23:27 > 0:23:33in November, 2011, that features the images of Matthew Boulton and James Watt?
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- The £20, I looked yesterday, is Adam Smith.- Yeah, he's on the 20.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43He hasn't been there all that long.
0:23:43 > 0:23:50- Matthew Boulton...- I don't think I've noticed them popping up on the ten.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Whereas...
0:23:52 > 0:23:57- Sir John Houblon had been on the 50 for...- A long time.- Yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02I don't recall seeing Boulton and Watt, so the logical one is 50.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05You don't see so many. I don't!
0:24:05 > 0:24:10- So...do you think? - Let's bet on 50, then.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I think we...
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Are you spokesman?- No, Pat.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20- I've a slight inclination for 50. - Same.- OK, we'll go for 50?
0:24:20 > 0:24:25We're unsure, but we are going to go with the £50 note.
0:24:25 > 0:24:32OK, the £50 note. Kevin doesn't see many. Pat does. You've got thousands under the bed after Millionaire.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Paper currency? Are you mad?!
0:24:35 > 0:24:39It is the right answer. You worked it out. £50.
0:24:39 > 0:24:46Pod Squad, Dilys Powell was film critic for which newspaper from 1939 to the 1970s?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- '39...to the '70s.- Not an area I'm great on, newspapers.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I can't imagine...
0:24:59 > 0:25:05- News of the World seems... - Would that have a film review for that long every week?
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Not sure. I don't think you'd stay at the News of the World that long
0:25:10 > 0:25:17- as a film reviewer. - I'm judging the papers on how I know them today.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- We have to rule out that.- Yeah.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22The Observer...
0:25:22 > 0:25:26I know it does have a big culture section now.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Presumably it always has done.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's a kind of...liberal thing.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36I don't know anything about the Sunday Times.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41- My leaning would be the Observer. - I'm happy to go with that. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47Again, we're not entirely sure, but we will go for the Observer.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52OK, the Observer for Dilys Powell's very long tenure as film critic.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57It's the Sunday Times, the other one you were thinking of.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Not the Observer. Bad luck.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Let's see how the Eggheads do. Your second question.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07What is the approximate population of Switzerland?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- Eight.- Somewhere in the high sevens.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15So it's about eight million.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- We think it's eight million people. - Eight million.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's the right answer, yep.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It's now 2-1 to the Eggheads.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27You need to get this, as you know.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33Tenrecs are small, insectivorous mammals native to which part of the world?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39T-E-N-R-E-C-S.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Right. You ever heard of it?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- No.- Strange-looking name. Strange word.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- Tenrecs.- R-E-C-S at the end.
0:26:51 > 0:26:58I feel quite guilty that Paul gave me a book on Madagascar to read this morning and I didn't!
0:26:58 > 0:27:02It's more likely, if it's a mammal, to be Madagascar.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Wouldn't you say?- Or Borneo.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08That's confused us even more now!
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- I'm leaning towards Borneo. - Are you? As it's a mammal?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Yeah, it just rings a bell.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24OK. On nothing more than it rings a vague bell in John's head, we'll go for Borneo.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26They're all pretty plausible.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31Insectivorous mammals called tenrecs are native to...
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Madagascar.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Madagascar. Bad luck with that. That means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:46 > 0:27:53That was an intriguing contest. The Head to Heads were fascinating, swinging back and forth.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58In that final round, just a set of questions that didn't suit you.
0:27:58 > 0:28:04Some good play by those behind you in the Question Room after their Head to Heads.
0:28:04 > 0:28:10- Thanks for playing, Pod Squad. Best of luck with that podcast. - Thank you.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14The Eggheads have done what comes naturally
0:28:14 > 0:28:20and you won't be going home with the £17,000. That means it rolls over to the next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:28Join us next time to see if a new team can defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32£18,000 now says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
