These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:14

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:19

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

0:00:230:00:27

pit their wits against possibly

0:00:270:00:29

the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:290:00:33

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

0:00:330:00:37

Now, this team of friends all live in or near the villages

0:00:370:00:39

of Cottingham and Middleton near Corby,

0:00:390:00:41

and they take their team name from the club they all belong to,

0:00:410:00:45

Real Ale Men Behaving Lively And Energetically Require Sustenance,

0:00:450:00:51

or Ramblers for short. Let's meet them.

0:00:510:00:53

Hi, I'm Del, I'm 52 and I'm a retired police officer.

0:00:530:00:57

Hi, I'm Pete, I'm 55 and I'm a freelance copywriter.

0:00:570:01:00

Hi, I'm Rob, I'm 45 and I'm a milkman.

0:01:000:01:04

Hi, I'm Pete. I'm 52 and I'm a project manager.

0:01:040:01:08

Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm 55 and I'm a systems project manager.

0:01:080:01:12

-So, Del, team, good afternoon.

-Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon.

0:01:120:01:15

Good to see you. I must explore this name first of all.

0:01:150:01:18

Real Ale Men Behaving...etc, etc. When do you behave like that?

0:01:180:01:22

It's once a month. We have a social club in the village.

0:01:220:01:26

The gentleman of the village, purely gentleman,

0:01:260:01:28

get together at one of the member's houses,

0:01:280:01:30

and we get in a couple of barrels of real ale

0:01:300:01:33

and a curry or something similar,

0:01:330:01:35

and the rambling kind of takes part once the contents have gone.

0:01:350:01:38

At what point in the evening normally are the police called?

0:01:380:01:40

-KEVIN LAUGHS LOUDLY It could be at any stage, to be honest!

-Yeah.

0:01:400:01:44

And what's it like to stare at these five very famous faces

0:01:440:01:48

-actually in real life here?

-Very daunting.

-Lovely!

-Lovely, very nice.

0:01:480:01:53

-Nice and friendly. Time will tell.

-Time will tell. Very good.

0:01:530:01:57

Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash

0:01:570:01:59

up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:01:590:02:01

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

Ramblers, I can tell you the Eggheads have won

0:02:050:02:07

just the last game,

0:02:070:02:09

which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:090:02:12

Would you like to try, Ramblers?

0:02:120:02:14

-Come on!

-Let's go for it.

-Here we go.

0:02:140:02:16

Your first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.

0:02:160:02:19

Who would like this?

0:02:190:02:21

I think I'm going to have to take it.

0:02:210:02:24

-It's got to be you.

-OK.

-Come on, Pete. Come on!

0:02:240:02:26

I'll happily take Film & Television.

0:02:260:02:28

OK, I'm sensing a lively show here.

0:02:280:02:30

-Pete from the Ramblers has to choose somebody.

-Right.

0:02:300:02:33

This is difficult. I think... I quite think I should take on Kevin.

0:02:330:02:38

-Ah, right.

-So you're sure? Kevin?

-I'm pretty sure, yes. Thank you.

0:02:380:02:43

Pete from the Ramblers versus Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:02:430:02:45

To ensure there is no conferring,

0:02:450:02:47

please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:02:470:02:49

-So, are you a big films man, Pete?

-Yeah, I'm a big fan of films. Yep.

0:02:500:02:55

Any in particular? Any genre?

0:02:550:02:58

Yeah, I'm a real sucker for science fiction films.

0:02:580:03:00

No matter how bad they are, or how good they are,

0:03:000:03:03

I'll watch any old science fiction tosh, basically.

0:03:030:03:06

Well, I hope something comes up along those lines for you, Pete.

0:03:060:03:09

Do you want to go with the first or second set of questions?

0:03:090:03:11

Um, I'll go with second, please.

0:03:110:03:14

So, Kevin, your question. The phrase "No likey, no lighty"

0:03:160:03:20

is often heard on which TV show?

0:03:200:03:22

-Well, it's not Countdown. Um, I've never... I

-have

-seen Family...

0:03:270:03:32

Not for a long time, but I have seen Family Fortunes quite a few times.

0:03:320:03:35

I can't associate that.

0:03:350:03:38

Given the premise of Take Me Out, I can see, if somebody's rejected...

0:03:380:03:44

Um...

0:03:440:03:46

A light doesn't go on somewhere. I've never seen it, so...

0:03:460:03:50

No, I'll say Take Me Out.

0:03:510:03:53

Take Me Out is right. Well done. Who's the presenter?

0:03:540:03:57

-Anyone know?

-Paddy McGuinness.

0:03:570:03:58

Paddy McGuinness, right, yeah.

0:03:580:04:00

Pete, what is the title of the US TV show in which Adam Richman

0:04:000:04:05

attempts an eating challenge in each episode?

0:04:050:04:08

Well, I think probably, given the nature of the programme,

0:04:130:04:16

any of those titles would be appropriate.

0:04:160:04:19

But, although I haven't seen many of them,

0:04:190:04:22

I've seen it while flicking through the channels.

0:04:220:04:25

and I think it's Man v. Food.

0:04:250:04:28

It is indeed Man v. Food. Yeah.

0:04:280:04:30

-Get in!

-Come on, Pete!

0:04:300:04:32

OK, Kevin. Your question.

0:04:320:04:34

In 2012, Polly Walker and Pippa Haywood took on the roles

0:04:340:04:38

of Francesca and Harriet in which TV drama series?

0:04:380:04:41

I think Polly Walker is in Prisoners' Wives. Yeah, Prisoners' Wives.

0:04:460:04:51

Prisoners' Wives is correct.

0:04:510:04:53

-He's never very easy to beat, Pete, I'm afraid.

-No...

0:04:530:04:56

But just keep going.

0:04:560:04:57

Jacki Weaver, an Oscar-nominated actress for her roles

0:04:570:05:00

in Silver Linings Playbook and Animal Kingdom

0:05:000:05:03

was born in which country?

0:05:030:05:05

Er, this is a tough one. I haven't seen those films.

0:05:090:05:14

So I'm going to have to take a guess.

0:05:140:05:18

And I'm going to say, for no real reason, Australia.

0:05:180:05:22

-Hey, well done. You're right.

-Yeah!

0:05:220:05:25

Come on, Pete!

0:05:250:05:27

Right. On with you, Kevin.

0:05:270:05:30

Which actress has appeared in the films The Debt, Lawless and Mama?

0:05:300:05:33

-What was the third one you said? I didn't quite catch that.

-Mama.

0:05:390:05:42

So, the films are The Debt, Lawless, and Mama, M-A-M-A.

0:05:420:05:46

Yes, I've seen the first two, anyway.

0:05:460:05:49

It's Jessica Chastain.

0:05:490:05:51

Jessica Chastain is correct.

0:05:510:05:53

OK. Pete, you need this one.

0:05:530:05:56

Who wrote the 2013 malaria-themed TV film Mary And Martha?

0:05:560:06:01

Ooh, that's a difficult one. I haven't heard of that film.

0:06:060:06:10

I'm familiar with each of those names though.

0:06:100:06:12

I know Richard Curtis has done things

0:06:120:06:15

like Four Weddings And A Funeral.

0:06:150:06:16

Julian Fellowes is obviously the Downtown Abbey chap.

0:06:160:06:19

Jane Goldman, who is Jonathan Ross's wife, I believe,

0:06:190:06:24

I think she's probably the most likely candidate out of those three.

0:06:240:06:27

She has a track record with some fantastic films,

0:06:270:06:29

like Stardust and Kick-Ass.

0:06:290:06:33

So I'm going to go Jane Goldman.

0:06:330:06:35

-Yeah, it's actually not, though.

-Oh!

0:06:350:06:39

It's Richard Curtis.

0:06:390:06:41

I think it was part of Comic Relief, wasn't it?

0:06:410:06:44

Yes, it was excellent.

0:06:440:06:45

So, sorry, Pete, you've been knocked out by Kevin. That can happen.

0:06:450:06:49

Very hard to topple Kevin, we know that.

0:06:490:06:51

Kevin will be in the final, and you won't be.

0:06:510:06:54

Please come back, rejoin your teams.

0:06:540:06:56

So, as it stands, the Ramblers have lost one brain from the final round

0:06:570:07:01

whilst the Eggheads have not lost a brain.

0:07:010:07:03

The next subject is History.

0:07:030:07:05

Go on, Kev. It's got to be you, mate.

0:07:050:07:08

It's got to be you, Kevin.

0:07:080:07:09

-Yes. It is. Unfortunately.

-History extraordinaire.

-Come on!

0:07:090:07:13

Not looking like setting me up.

0:07:130:07:16

You can't choose this Kevin here, but you can choose any other.

0:07:160:07:19

-Um...

-What about Dave?

-Yeah. I think Dave.

-Dave, yeah.

-No, Judith.

0:07:190:07:23

-No, Judith.

-Dave, please.

-OK?

-Yeah.

0:07:230:07:27

Kevin from the Ramblers versus Dave from the Eggheads on History,

0:07:270:07:30

and please go to the Question Room now.

0:07:300:07:32

Dave, you've done a lot of History recently? I'm trying to remember.

0:07:340:07:37

A couple of ones there.

0:07:370:07:39

I lost one the other day, with a bad mistake on Karl Marx.

0:07:390:07:43

But I've done about four or five in the last few weeks.

0:07:430:07:49

-How are you on history, Kevin?

-I'm reasonable. I just hope...

0:07:490:07:52

I'm better with the ancient history and the medieval rather than modern,

0:07:520:07:57

so I hope the questions fall that way.

0:07:570:07:59

Kevin, would you like to go first or second?

0:07:590:08:01

I'd like to go first, please.

0:08:010:08:03

Which of these kings ruled Great Britain

0:08:060:08:08

for the longest period of time?

0:08:080:08:10

Oh, right. OK.

0:08:140:08:16

Kings and queens. Or kings.

0:08:160:08:19

Edward VIII abdicated after a few months.

0:08:190:08:24

Mrs Simpson.

0:08:240:08:26

Um... William IV, I think preceded Victoria.

0:08:260:08:33

George V, I think, is the answer to this one. George V.

0:08:330:08:40

-What do you think, team?

-I think he may be right.

-Not a clue.

0:08:420:08:44

He sounds good with his knowledge there.

0:08:440:08:46

You're right on Edward VIII, less than a year.

0:08:460:08:50

And you're right on William IV, who was just under seven years.

0:08:500:08:52

-So, George III is the right answer. Well done.

-Come on!

0:08:520:08:55

OK, Dave.

0:08:570:08:59

Where was the British Prime Minister Spencer Perceval

0:08:590:09:01

assassinated in 1812?

0:09:010:09:03

I don't think it's Westminster Abbey.

0:09:070:09:09

I don't think it's the Tower Of London.

0:09:090:09:11

I think he was assassinated...

0:09:110:09:13

I believe it's John Buckingham that did it, in the House of Commons.

0:09:130:09:18

House of Commons is correct. Do you know how he did it?

0:09:180:09:21

-Shot.

-Yeah, Kevin says shot.

0:09:210:09:23

Famously as he fell to the ground he said "I am dying",

0:09:230:09:26

and that's said to be the only moment a politician

0:09:260:09:28

has spoken the truth

0:09:280:09:30

-in the last 200 years.

-THEY CHUCKLE

0:09:300:09:32

Your question, Kevin.

0:09:340:09:35

In which part of Mayfair was Queen Elizabeth the second born in 1926?

0:09:350:09:39

I honestly do not know this answer, so it's going to be a guess.

0:09:430:09:48

I don't even recognise those names, so it's modern history as well!

0:09:480:09:53

It would be somewhere, I would assume, that is quite affluent.

0:09:550:10:01

Adams Row doesn't fit that bill. Um...

0:10:010:10:06

Bruton Street, I have no idea where that is,

0:10:080:10:11

and Hayes Mews, I have no idea where that is.

0:10:110:10:14

I'm just going to take a total stab and go for Bruton Street,

0:10:140:10:17

as it's most unlikely.

0:10:170:10:19

-Eggheads?

-Yes.

-Yes! Oh, come on!

0:10:190:10:22

Bruton Street. So what, was that a private house,

0:10:230:10:26

-or what?

-Yes.

0:10:260:10:28

-It's between Berkeley Square and Bond Street, Bruton Street.

-OK.

0:10:280:10:32

Dave. The 1863 Battle of Chickamauga was one of the bloodiest engagements

0:10:320:10:38

of which war?

0:10:380:10:39

Right. The American War of Independence was 1775-83,

0:10:460:10:52

1783, so I don't think it's that.

0:10:520:10:56

I'm not quite sure on the dates of the Mexican American War,

0:10:560:11:00

but I believe that involved the Alamo.

0:11:000:11:02

But 1861-1865 is the American Civil War,

0:11:020:11:07

so that has to be my answer.

0:11:070:11:09

You've done it on the dates, well done. American Civil War it is.

0:11:090:11:13

All right. So, two points each. Kevin.

0:11:130:11:17

In which year did the New Zealand Maoris sign the Treaty of Waitangi

0:11:170:11:22

in which they recognised British sovereignty

0:11:220:11:25

in exchange for the promise to protect Maori land rights?

0:11:250:11:29

OK, I don't think it's going to be 1640,

0:11:320:11:37

because that's much too early for the exploration of New Zealand.

0:11:370:11:41

So that leaves the other two dates. 1740, 1840.

0:11:410:11:45

When you asked the question the first time, the date of 1835 came to mind,

0:11:480:11:51

so I'm going to have to go with that instinct, and I'll go 1840.

0:11:510:11:56

But I'm not entirely sure about that.

0:11:560:11:59

Interesting, 1835 just crept into your mind?

0:11:590:12:02

When you said the question, it just popped up.

0:12:020:12:06

-You've got a good historical brain, cos you're right with 1840.

-Oh!

0:12:060:12:09

-Full house.

-Well done!

0:12:090:12:11

OK, Dave. Your question. Clinging on.

0:12:110:12:13

John Grey, who mysteriously disappeared in 1872,

0:12:130:12:18

was a long-standing captain of which ship?

0:12:180:12:21

Hmm...

0:12:260:12:27

Not sure. All three ships, so...

0:12:290:12:32

Er... No degree of certainty at all. Not heard this.

0:12:340:12:38

I'm going to go for the SS Great Britain.

0:12:380:12:41

-SS Great Britain is the right answer.

-Ahhh!

0:12:410:12:45

We go to Sudden Death. Kevin, it gets a bit harder.

0:12:450:12:48

I don't give you alternatives. Here's your first question.

0:12:480:12:51

In which English city is the King's Manor, which was the headquarters

0:12:510:12:54

of the Council of the North during the 16th and 17th centuries?

0:12:540:12:59

I'm...um... I'm a total... They've used York.

0:13:010:13:05

I know they used York as a place to hold the councils. Um...

0:13:050:13:12

But I don't know where the King's Manor is.

0:13:120:13:14

For some reason, Ripon is coming to mind now.

0:13:140:13:17

I'll stick with York.

0:13:220:13:24

And I'll kick myself if it's Ripon.

0:13:240:13:28

-York is correct.

-Oh!

0:13:280:13:30

Dave, in medieval times, Farnham Castle and Wolvesey Palace

0:13:320:13:35

were traditional residencies for the person

0:13:350:13:38

who held which religious position?

0:13:380:13:41

-If you get this wrong, you're out.

-Yeah. Um...

0:13:410:13:44

All that can come to mind is Archbishop of Canterbury,

0:13:460:13:49

so that's going to be my answer.

0:13:490:13:51

-I think Kevin will know this one.

-Well, yeah, I should do.

0:13:510:13:54

It's the Bishop of Winchester.

0:13:540:13:55

-Wolvesey Palace is actually in Winchester.

-Yeah.

0:13:550:13:58

-Bishop of Winchester is the answer.

-OK.

-Yeah!

-So, well done, Kevin.

0:13:580:14:03

-Well done!

-Really good.

0:14:030:14:04

You see, sheer support and brilliant historical knowledge, Kevin,

0:14:060:14:10

has taken you into the final. Well done.

0:14:100:14:11

Please both of you return to us.

0:14:110:14:14

-So, well done, Del.

-Brilliant, yeah.

-Kevin, that was incredible.

0:14:150:14:20

-Lots of guessing there.

-No, he's a quizzer, isn't he? Yeah.

0:14:200:14:26

They know when they see their own.

0:14:260:14:27

As it stands, the Ramblers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:14:270:14:31

The Eggheads have lost a brain as well now.

0:14:310:14:32

The next subject for you is Arts & Books. Who would like this?

0:14:320:14:36

-Shall I be the sacrificial lamb?

-Yeah.

0:14:360:14:41

-Rob.

-Who would you suggest?

0:14:410:14:45

It will be a plain sail for whoever we pick, I can guarantee it. Daphne?

0:14:460:14:50

-Daphne, I'd have thought. I'll do Daphne.

-Many, many say that.

0:14:500:14:55

-Many have gone that way and not returned.

-Mmm.

-You get a reputation!

0:14:550:15:01

Rob from the Ramblers, Daphne from the Eggheads,

0:15:010:15:04

please take your positions.

0:15:040:15:06

OK, so it is Arts & Books.

0:15:080:15:09

Rob, would you like to go first or second?

0:15:090:15:12

Well, I must fess up that my art and literature is very, very poor.

0:15:120:15:17

I am the sacrificial lamb for the team.

0:15:170:15:19

So I might as well get it over and done with, so I'll go first, Jeremy.

0:15:190:15:23

OK. See if you can ramble your way through to the final.

0:15:260:15:30

Which of these literary figures was born first?

0:15:300:15:33

Right.

0:15:400:15:42

Ben Jonson reminds me of the athlete,

0:15:460:15:49

I didn't even know there was a writer called Ben Jonson.

0:15:490:15:52

So... I'm sure he is an author though. Um...

0:15:520:15:56

Milton I have heard of, Chaucer I have heard of.

0:15:580:16:01

Out of those two, I'm going to go with Chaucer.

0:16:030:16:06

-Geoffrey Chaucer is the right answer.

-Get in!

0:16:080:16:11

OK. Over to you, Daphne.

0:16:130:16:16

Which Shakespearean character initially appears

0:16:160:16:18

with the name Caius Marcius?

0:16:180:16:20

Coriolanus.

0:16:250:16:29

Coriolanus is the right answer. Well done.

0:16:290:16:31

OK, Rob.

0:16:330:16:35

The 2006 Booker Prize short-listed novel The Nightwatch by Sarah Waters

0:16:350:16:39

is set during and shortly after which conflict?

0:16:390:16:43

Right. Nightwatch.

0:16:480:16:50

I've never heard of the book, I've never heard of the author.

0:16:520:16:56

Night guards to cover potential attacks is the only relevant thing

0:16:560:17:02

I can put to that.

0:17:020:17:03

Right, based on VAT, which is very lame information,

0:17:050:17:10

I'm going to go with Vietnam war.

0:17:100:17:13

-See if Daphne knows this one.

-No, it's World War II.

0:17:140:17:17

-World War II it is, Rob.

-OK.

0:17:170:17:20

So, Daphne has a chance to take the lead.

0:17:200:17:22

Richard Parker is a major character in which of these books?

0:17:220:17:25

Oh. Richard Parker?

0:17:300:17:32

-Richard Parker.

-Yeah.

0:17:320:17:34

I think he's the tiger in Life Of Pi.

0:17:340:17:38

Life Of Pi is the right answer. Well done.

0:17:380:17:40

So, she's taken the lead, Rob.

0:17:400:17:44

What was the first name of the artist best known as Caravaggio?

0:17:440:17:48

Um, I've never heard of Caravaggio.

0:17:530:17:57

If it was Michelangelo Caravaggio that would be one hell of a big name,

0:17:570:18:01

that would. Um...

0:18:010:18:04

Yeah, I like the sound of Leonardo. Let's go with that one.

0:18:040:18:08

Funny enough, it is almost the least likely one here, actually.

0:18:080:18:10

-It is Michelangelo.

-Oh!

0:18:100:18:13

I don't know how they squeezed this into the phone book.

0:18:130:18:16

-His name was Michelangelo Caravaggio.

-Fair enough.

0:18:160:18:18

Two wrong out of three, that means Daphne is in the final.

0:18:180:18:21

-Rob, we'll miss you in that final round.

-No problem.

0:18:210:18:24

I was the sacrificial lamb, so I was expecting it.

0:18:240:18:26

You've got to take one for the team sometimes.

0:18:260:18:28

-You can cheer them from the backbenches. I

-will do.

0:18:280:18:30

Both of you, come back, rejoin your team-mates.

0:18:300:18:32

So, as it stands,

0:18:340:18:35

the Ramblers have lost two brains from the final round, lost Rob.

0:18:350:18:38

You're going to have to cheer from the backbenches.

0:18:380:18:40

The Eggheads have lost one brain. The next object is Sport.

0:18:400:18:44

-Who wants this? It's good, isn't it?

-Oh, no.

0:18:440:18:47

That's worked out wrong.

0:18:470:18:49

-It's gone in the wrong sequence, hasn't it?

-I know nothing...

0:18:490:18:51

Pete or Del?

0:18:510:18:54

-Pete, I know nothing about sport.

-I'll take it.

0:18:540:18:56

Are you going to take one for the team?

0:18:560:18:58

-I can't claim to be an expert, but I'll give it a shot.

-OK.

0:18:580:19:02

-I think Judith has got to be a natural...

-Judith.

0:19:020:19:05

OK, so Pete from the Ramblers versus Judith from the Eggheads

0:19:050:19:08

on her beloved sporting category.

0:19:080:19:10

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

0:19:100:19:13

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

0:19:150:19:18

I'll go second, please, Jeremy.

0:19:180:19:19

OK, Judith, here we go.

0:19:220:19:24

Which tennis player won his fourth Australian Open men's singles title

0:19:240:19:27

in 2013?

0:19:270:19:29

That would be Novak Djokovic.

0:19:330:19:37

Well done. Yes indeed. Novak Djokovic.

0:19:370:19:40

I want to hear it from Rob.

0:19:400:19:42

-Well done, Judith!

-Thank you!

0:19:420:19:45

-Good result.

-Yep. You're getting cheered by the Challengers.

0:19:450:19:49

OK, your first question, Pete.

0:19:490:19:50

The athlete Mo Farah won gold medals in which events

0:19:500:19:53

in the 2012 Olympic games?

0:19:530:19:55

Right. Well, obviously fairly recent, so I should know this.

0:20:070:20:11

But I'm having to clutch at straws a little bit.

0:20:110:20:14

The first answer that looked most likely was the 5,000 and 10,000.

0:20:160:20:22

I'm pretty sure he didn't do the steeplechase,

0:20:220:20:26

but I might be proving myself wrong here.

0:20:260:20:29

But I'm going to go with my initial thought, 5,000 and 10,000m.

0:20:290:20:33

Bang on, well done. 5,000 and 10,000.

0:20:350:20:37

Judith, which of these footballers earned the most caps for England?

0:20:400:20:44

Oh, dear.

0:20:460:20:48

Er... I don't know.

0:20:490:20:52

Dreaded football. Um, Gary Lineker.

0:20:540:20:58

Anyone know on this side?

0:20:580:20:59

-Bobby Moore?

-Yeah, Bobby Moore, I'd have said.

0:20:590:21:02

-Bobby Moore is the right answer.

-Oh!

-Bobby Moore.

0:21:020:21:04

Go on, Pete.

0:21:040:21:06

OK, Pete to take the lead here.

0:21:060:21:08

Swinley Bottom is a feature of which leading racecourse?

0:21:080:21:11

Hmm. Struggling again a little bit here.

0:21:160:21:18

Horse racing is not something I've followed very closely.

0:21:180:21:22

Ascot and Epsom are both sort of southerly,

0:21:220:21:25

whereas Newmarket is more sort of East Anglian-based.

0:21:250:21:30

For some reason, that's pulling my attention. I'm going to go Newmarket.

0:21:300:21:34

Newmarket is the wrong answer, actually. It's Ascot.

0:21:360:21:40

I can see the logic, actually, but it's wrong.

0:21:400:21:44

Judith.

0:21:440:21:46

Still in contention here.

0:21:460:21:48

In which year did David Campese last play test match Rugby Union

0:21:480:21:52

for Australia?

0:21:520:21:53

Um...

0:21:570:22:00

It's either going to be 1989 or 1996, I suppose.

0:22:020:22:06

1996.

0:22:060:22:08

You're right, Judith. '96.

0:22:100:22:12

You've got two out of three, that's not bad, is it?

0:22:140:22:17

-It's better than nothing.

-To quote Meatloaf.

0:22:170:22:19

Now, a bit of pressure on you here, Pete.

0:22:210:22:23

The Chinese sportsmen Sun Yang found fame in which sport?

0:22:230:22:28

Hmmm.

0:22:310:22:33

Working on scant information, once again, unfortunately.

0:22:350:22:39

Swimming, I'm thinking not.

0:22:390:22:41

Weightlifting doesn't seem to suit the Chinese physique

0:22:420:22:47

in a typical sense.

0:22:470:22:49

So I'm going to plump for gymnastics.

0:22:490:22:52

-Anyone on your team know?

-I'd have gone swimming.

0:22:530:22:56

I thought it was the very young swimmer that was in the Olympics.

0:22:560:23:00

-Is that right?

-Rob, you're right. Swimming is the answer.

0:23:000:23:03

So one out of three, Pete. Not enough. You've been knocked out.

0:23:030:23:06

Come back to us.

0:23:060:23:08

We will play the final round.

0:23:080:23:11

So, this is what we have been playing towards.

0:23:120:23:15

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

0:23:150:23:17

is General Knowledge.

0:23:170:23:18

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

0:23:180:23:21

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

0:23:210:23:23

So, Pete B, Rob, and Pete S from the Ramblers,

0:23:230:23:26

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

0:23:260:23:31

-OK, Del and Kevin, here we are. You're ready to roll?

-Yep.

0:23:320:23:36

You're playing to win the Ramblers £2,000.

0:23:360:23:39

Pat, Kevin, Judith and Daphne, you are playing for something

0:23:390:23:42

that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:420:23:45

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

0:23:450:23:48

this time the questions are all General Knowledge.

0:23:480:23:50

You are allowed to confer.

0:23:500:23:52

So, Del and Kevin, the question is,

0:23:520:23:54

are your two brains able to overcome the Eggheads' four?

0:23:540:23:58

-Tell me if you want to go first or second.

-We'll go first, please.

-Yep.

0:23:580:24:03

The man who became Pope Francis in March 2013 was born

0:24:060:24:10

in which country?

0:24:100:24:11

-It's Argentina, isn't it?

-Yeah. Well, he comes from Argentina...

0:24:150:24:18

It is Argentina, isn't it? First one from there, Argentina.

0:24:180:24:23

Argentina is the right answer, well done.

0:24:230:24:26

Eggheads, your question.

0:24:280:24:29

What became London's tallest building

0:24:290:24:31

when it topped out at 1,016 feet in 2012?

0:24:310:24:36

-The Shard.

-It's the Shard.

0:24:410:24:43

-The Shard is the latest one.

-Yes.

0:24:440:24:47

-And it's the tallest building in Europe.

-We're going for the Shard.

0:24:470:24:52

Built above London Bridge railway station.

0:24:520:24:55

The Shard is the right answer.

0:24:550:24:58

-I've been up the top of it, actually.

-Have you?

-Yeah.

0:24:580:25:01

Here's your question. What type of animal is the jaguarundi?

0:25:010:25:05

The name certainly suggests the cat family, but maybe a bit too...

0:25:090:25:13

-Too obvious?

-I think it may be too obvious.

-Jaguarundi.

0:25:130:25:17

-Jaguarundi.

-You've got a jaguar, so why would you do a jaguarundi?

0:25:170:25:20

-It might be... Just one word.

-Unless there's a dog that brings down...

0:25:200:25:25

-Nothing can catch a jaguar.

-Something's just told me it's a dog.

0:25:250:25:29

Dog, please.

0:25:290:25:30

No, you should have stuck with your logic. Which leads you to cats.

0:25:320:25:38

Cat is the answer.

0:25:380:25:40

Eggheads, in January 2013 the queen of which country

0:25:420:25:45

announced that she would abdicate later in the year on a date

0:25:450:25:49

that would mark 33 years on the throne?

0:25:490:25:51

-Netherlands.

-Beatrix of the Netherlands.

-Yes.

0:25:550:25:59

That's the Queen of the Netherlands.

0:25:590:26:02

It is indeed the queen of the Netherlands.

0:26:020:26:04

So the Eggheads are ahead.

0:26:060:26:08

So, you've got to get this... Yes, exactly.

0:26:080:26:10

-We've got to get this one.

-They're very tense behind you,

0:26:100:26:12

I can tell you that.

0:26:120:26:14

Just The Way You Are, Grenade,

0:26:150:26:18

and The Lazy Song are UK number-one singles by whom?

0:26:180:26:23

Oh, dear. We do all like our music collectively.

0:26:290:26:33

-Unfortunately pop sort of gets left.

-Yeah. Modern music isn't our bag.

0:26:330:26:37

-Grenade...

-I really don't know songs by...by Will.i.am...

0:26:400:26:48

-And it's not either of those, or any of those.

-Oh, dear, oh, dear.

0:26:500:26:55

I'm tempted by Bruno Mars...

0:26:550:26:57

It's the Grenade one that gets me. That wasn't in there.

0:26:580:27:01

Isn't he a bit too squeaky-clean for a song like Grenade?

0:27:010:27:05

-Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

-Olly Murs?

0:27:050:27:07

Olly Murs is, yeah, I was thinking.

0:27:070:27:09

Shall we go to... I don't know. I'm tending towards Will.i.am.

0:27:090:27:13

It's total guesswork, as you can see.

0:27:150:27:18

We do think that Olly Murs has got a little bit too clean-cut

0:27:180:27:22

a persona to have a song called Grenade.

0:27:220:27:27

That might be totally wrong, but...

0:27:270:27:29

-We'll go for Will.i.am.

-Please.

-OK...

0:27:310:27:36

You started on Bruno Mars, and then, a bit like the jaguar one,

0:27:360:27:42

you zoomed in the right one, and then you had doubts.

0:27:420:27:47

-The answer is... Eggheads, do you know the answer?

-Bruno Mars.

0:27:470:27:51

The answer is Bruno Mars, so we say congratulations, Eggheads.

0:27:510:27:54

You have won.

0:27:540:27:56

So, commiserations to our Real Ale Men Behaving Lively...Livelily?

0:28:020:28:07

Good luck, I hope the next party is a very lively one.

0:28:070:28:10

I'm sure it will be.

0:28:100:28:11

The Eggheads have done what comes naturally,

0:28:110:28:13

still reigning supreme over quiz land.

0:28:130:28:15

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

0:28:150:28:18

so the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:180:28:21

Eggheads, well done, and I'm starting to wonder again,

0:28:210:28:24

who will beat you?

0:28:240:28:26

Join us next time to see

0:28:260:28:27

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

0:28:270:28:31

£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
