0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is can they be beaten?

0:00:24 > 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 > 0:00:35And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today

0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Kent Inquisitors.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Now, this friends and family team, predominately based in the lovely

0:00:41 > 0:00:44county of Kent, have taken part in quizzes individually,

0:00:44 > 0:00:48but today sees their first coming together as a quintet.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.

0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Raymond, I'm 61 and I'm a retired chartered accountant.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Sylvia. I'm 76 and I'm a retired district nurse.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Jane, I'm 54, a retired midwife.

0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hello, my name's Michael, I'm 67 and a retired chemical engineer.

0:01:08 > 0:01:13Hello, I'm Paul, I'm 61, I'm a retired patent attorney.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Raymond and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20- So, quizzers but not always together, Raymond?- That's correct.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24It's Farnborough Village in Kent which really unites us.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Paul and I played cricket together for 20 years for the village team,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31and Sylvia, Jane and I play twice a year for the village

0:01:31 > 0:01:34quiz team to support the local church.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37And we have been known to win a bottle of wine or two.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40I mention this purely to rattle our opponents,

0:01:40 > 0:01:44who probably haven't quizzed at such a level for some time.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46- JEREMY LAUGHS - I think you're probably right.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49You're about to discover just the level that they've been

0:01:49 > 0:01:51quizzing at recently, but, er, so that's nice.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53So you... Social things bring you together,

0:01:53 > 0:01:56cricket brings you together, quizzing brings you together,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58and, as I mentioned, in a very beautiful county.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00It is.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01It's quiet, and, er,

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Farnborough Village is a traditional Kentish village, just with

0:02:05 > 0:02:08a couple of pubs, the village cricket team and the football team.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11What was the John Major phrase? The warm pints of beer and the sunset?

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- That's it.- Exactly. - You're taking us there, how lovely.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19OK, well, every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers,

0:02:19 > 0:02:20as you know.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money

0:02:23 > 0:02:25rolls over to our next show.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28So, Kent Inquisitors, your comment about the Eggheads

0:02:28 > 0:02:31not quizzing at the same level as you is spot on today

0:02:31 > 0:02:36because the team to my right took a bashing in the last game and lost.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39The challengers won, which proves it can be done,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42and it means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Their confidence may be a little shredded.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Would you like to give it a go? - We certainly would.- All right,

0:02:48 > 0:02:51the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Who would like this?

0:02:53 > 0:02:54That is me, Jeremy.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56OK, Raymond.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Raymond from the Kent Inquisitors against which Egghead?

0:03:00 > 0:03:02It's going to be Kevin.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06So, Raymond from the challengers against Kevin from the Eggheads

0:03:06 > 0:03:08on Politics. And to ensure there's no conferring

0:03:08 > 0:03:11would you please take your positions in the question room?

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Politics, Raymond, your choice. First or second?

0:03:15 > 0:03:16I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Here we go, Raymond, good luck.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25What term is used to refer to schemes in which welfare recipients

0:03:25 > 0:03:29are required to find some employment or attend training

0:03:29 > 0:03:31in order to continue to receive benefits?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38I think that would be Workfare.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Workfare is the right answer, Raymond, well done.

0:03:43 > 0:03:44Kevin,

0:03:44 > 0:03:47the form and processes of Parliamentary government

0:03:47 > 0:03:49in the United Kingdom is known as the what?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Well, it would be the Westminster System.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Yeah, Westminster System, that's right.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Back to you, Raymond, one each.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Professor Sir Alan Walters was best known as Chief Economic Advisor

0:04:05 > 0:04:07to which Prime Minister?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14I believe that was for Margaret Thatcher.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Margaret Thatcher's the right answer.

0:04:17 > 0:04:23Famously described the European Exchange Rate Mechanism as...?

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Anyone know? Remember the phrase? - Something like a German plot?

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Something like that?- Well, yeah, I think that was Nicholas Ridley.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31- Oh.- Half baked.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Caused Nigel Lawson to resign, the Chancellor. OK.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Kevin, in the USA, the principal military advisor to the President

0:04:41 > 0:04:45is known by the title of Chairman of the...what?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54It's the, um, it's the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

0:04:54 > 0:04:58which is the heads of the various services coming together as a body.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00And they, erm...

0:05:00 > 0:05:04One of them sort of takes it in turns more or less every few years

0:05:04 > 0:05:05to head the body.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07The Joint Chiefs of Staff.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Joint Chiefs of Staff is the right answer. Two each.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11Back to you, Raymond.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15In Britain, what is the name of the fund into which the proceeds

0:05:15 > 0:05:20of taxation are paid and from which government expenditures are made?

0:05:26 > 0:05:28I'm not certain of this.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Designated Fund it could be,

0:05:32 > 0:05:35but that would tend to indicate a specific project.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41I'm not sure, I will go for the Consolidated Fund.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Consolidated Fund is the right answer.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Nice play, three out of three. Here's your question, Kevin.

0:05:47 > 0:05:52In 1985, the civil servant Clive Ponting was put on trial accused of

0:05:52 > 0:05:55sending documents concerning the sinking of the Argentine warship

0:05:55 > 0:06:00the General Belgrano to which Labour MP?

0:06:04 > 0:06:09Ooh, yes, I remember that very much at the time. Erm...

0:06:09 > 0:06:11I mean, the one who...

0:06:11 > 0:06:13stands out there,

0:06:13 > 0:06:17I suppose, as the greatest critic of the Falklands War and what was

0:06:17 > 0:06:21going on was Tam Dalyell, so I think I would have to go for Tam Dalyell.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22Tam Dalyell is the right answer.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25OK, Kevin has got three points as well, Raymond.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27It was never going to be easy, was it?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I never thought it would be for one moment.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32So we go to Sudden Death,

0:06:32 > 0:06:36and it gets a bit harder cos I don't give you alternative answers.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Vince Cable was first returned as an MP

0:06:39 > 0:06:42in the General Election of which year?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44He's been in politics for some time.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48I'm going to say 1982.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Yeah, you're quite some way out, actually.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54It's 1997.

0:06:54 > 0:06:55Oh, Lord! A long way out.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Yeah, when Tony Blair got his landslide, that's when he arrived.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02OK, Raymond, you've given Kevin a chance. Let's see if he takes it.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Sudden Death, Kevin.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06The UK pressure group for constitutional reform called

0:07:06 > 0:07:10Charter 88 took its name from the revolutionary events of which year

0:07:10 > 0:07:13in British history?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16I assume this is a reference to the Glorious Revolution, the overthrow

0:07:16 > 0:07:21of James II and bringing of William III to the throne, so it'd be 1688.

0:07:22 > 0:07:251688 is correct, Kevin. Well done, you've won on Sudden Death.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Sorry, Raymond, you've been knocked out.- Quite OK.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30You won't be able to help your team in the final round. Kevin will.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Please both of you return to your teams.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36So, as it stands, the Kent Inquisitors have lost

0:07:36 > 0:07:40a brain from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have not lost any.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44Good start for the Eggs here. The next subject is Music.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46So, which of the Kent Inquisitors would like this?

0:07:46 > 0:07:48That's me.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52OK, Jane. Jane on Music against anyone but Kevin.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54I think have a crack at Pat.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- You think?- Yeah. - OK, you're in charge, all right.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00I'll take on Pat, please.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04So, Jane from the Kent Inquisitors versus Pat. How are we feeling, Pat?

0:08:04 > 0:08:07- I'm feeling fine.- Good.- He looks very smiley.- He is smiley, yeah.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Keeps a lot hidden, though. To ensure there's no conferring

0:08:10 > 0:08:13would you please take your positions in the question room?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16So, Music, Jane, and would you like

0:08:16 > 0:08:18the first or second set of questions?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20I'd like to go first please.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Here we go, good luck.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Which weather condition is used to describe Christmas Eve

0:08:27 > 0:08:31in the lyrics of the Christmas song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?

0:08:35 > 0:08:39Erm, being Christmas, I don't think I'll go for rainy.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Icy might be a bit tricky for reindeer

0:08:41 > 0:08:43so I'll go for foggy, please.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Foggy is the correct answer, well done.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49OK, Pat, your question.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51In a song from the musical Me and My Girl,

0:08:51 > 0:08:54which of these follows the line, "The sun has got his hat on?"

0:08:59 > 0:09:01The sun has got his hat on

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Hip, hip, hip, hooray.

0:09:03 > 0:09:04The sun has got his hat on

0:09:04 > 0:09:06He's coming out to play.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08I think that's the lyric. Erm...

0:09:09 > 0:09:12I think it's hip, hip, hip, hooray.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Hip, hip, hip, hooray is the right answer.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17OK, Jane.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Delta Machine is the title of a 2013 album by which group?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29I haven't got a clue.

0:09:29 > 0:09:35So, I'm going to have to make a guess, and...

0:09:36 > 0:09:38I'm tempted to go for U2 cos it's in the middle.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41But I'm going to go for Radiohead, I think.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Both are wrong, actually. Depeche Mode is the answer.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Depeche Mode who just keep going and going and going, it's remarkable.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54OK, Pat. Can't Speak French was a UK hit single for which group in 2008?

0:10:00 > 0:10:01Ooh, dear.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05It doesn't ring any bells. Can't Speak French.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10Let's go with Girls Aloud, just about a complete guess.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Girls Aloud is the right answer.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15CHALLENGERS GROAN AND LAUGH JEREMY LAUGHS

0:10:15 > 0:10:17I'm never sure, when they say complete guess,

0:10:17 > 0:10:20I'm never sure whether there's something ticking away,

0:10:20 > 0:10:24some fragment there which their computer brain has hit upon.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26So you need to get this one right, Jane.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Which singer and actor had UK hits with the songs

0:10:30 > 0:10:34What Do You Want, Poor Me and Someone Else's Baby?

0:10:41 > 0:10:42Hmm, Someone Else's Baby.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46So, I'm probably going to be completely wrong here.

0:10:46 > 0:10:51They don't sound like songs from Anthony Newley or Tommy Steele,

0:10:51 > 0:10:53just the titles, so I'm going to go for Adam Faith.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Team, is she right?- Yes. - Yes, your team like that answer.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Adam Faith it is. You're off the hook.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05OK, Pat, you can still take the round with this question.

0:11:05 > 0:11:10Whose 1893 String Quartet in F Major Opus 96

0:11:10 > 0:11:13is popularly known as his American Quartet

0:11:13 > 0:11:15because it was written on a visit to the USA?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Well, Stravinsky died in the 1970s,

0:11:23 > 0:11:28so to be writing a quartet in the 1890s doesn't seem feasible.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Of those three,

0:11:30 > 0:11:34the man most linked with string quartets is Antonin Dvorak,

0:11:34 > 0:11:40and I think he went to America and he famously, or supposedly, inspired...

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Er, he wrote the New World Symphony,

0:11:43 > 0:11:46partly inspired by, er, music he heard in America,

0:11:46 > 0:11:48so I'll go for Dvorak.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Dvorak is the right answer, so you're in the final, Pat.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Sorry, Jane, you've been knocked out by our Egghead

0:11:54 > 0:11:57and won't be able to help your team in the final round.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59If you come back, rejoin your teams, we'll play on.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04So, as it stands, Kent Inquisitors have lost two brains

0:12:04 > 0:12:07from the final round, the Eggheads are still intact.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09The next subject is Sport.

0:12:09 > 0:12:15- Is this good? Sporting person? - We hope so.- It's for me.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18It's for you, OK. Which Egghead? Obviously not Pat or Kevin.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- It's going to be Chris. - All right for Chris?- Whatever.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Whatever you say. - I'll take on Chris.

0:12:23 > 0:12:28OK, so, Paul from the Kent Inquisitors against Chris on Sport.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Chris, not your favourite, has to be said.- No.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34I know where Farnborough is, so I'm coming!

0:12:34 > 0:12:35LAUGHTER

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Send the boys round.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Paul from Kent, Chris from Crewe, please go to the question room.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45So, Paul, would you like the first or second set of questions?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47I will go first, please, Jeremy.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Good luck. In 2002, Rio Ferdinand joined Manchester United

0:12:54 > 0:12:57from which other football team?

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Oh, dear, my mind's gone a complete blank.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06Erm...

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Dear, oh, dear. I'm going to go for the centre one, Leeds United.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11BARRY LAUGHS

0:13:11 > 0:13:14I've got to ask Barry whether you're right cos Barry has connections.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- He's spot on!- Yeah.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Spot on, Leeds United it is.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Chris, your question.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Thirsk Racecourse is located in which part of England?

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Thirsk is on the A19 in North Yorkshire.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33North Yorkshire is correct.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39Back to you, Paul. Andy Murray became the World Number Two

0:13:39 > 0:13:43when he beat which tennis player at the Sony Open in Miami

0:13:43 > 0:13:44in March 2013?

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Erm...

0:13:50 > 0:13:51David Ferrer.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53David Ferrer is quite right.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56OK, Chris.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59The cricketer Chamara Silva made his test debut

0:13:59 > 0:14:01for which country in 2006?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Er, can you spell the surname please, Jeremy?

0:14:07 > 0:14:13Chamara is C-H-A-M-A-R-A, and Silva is just S-I-L-V-A.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Yeah, well, that's Portuguese, isn't it?

0:14:17 > 0:14:19And Chamara sounds like an Asian name.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25So we've got a Goa connection going here, haven't we, with Portugal.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28So, he would have made his test match debut for Sri Lanka.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32And Sri Lanka is correct. Nice bit of logic.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36- Like Sherlock Holmes, isn't it? - That's how I operate, Jeremy.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Working through the case, deduction. Elementary.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45Paul, in baseball, what is a pitcher said to be credited with when they

0:14:45 > 0:14:49complete a game without allowing the opposing team to score a run?

0:14:53 > 0:14:56They all sound as though they could be right, unfortunately.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59But I will say a shutout.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Shutout is correct.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07You've got three out of three, Paul, well done.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10OK, Chris, this to stay in.

0:15:10 > 0:15:15The German athlete Silke Renk won gold at the 1992 Olympics

0:15:15 > 0:15:16in which event?

0:15:21 > 0:15:22Silke Renk.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Javelin, long jump...

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Well, they tend not to produce many good runners in Germany.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Er, javelin doesn't seem right somehow

0:15:33 > 0:15:35so I'll go down the middle with long jump.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Why doesn't javelin seem right? - Just doesn't somehow.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41You can't imagine a German throwing a javelin?

0:15:42 > 0:15:46Well, it would fit in with the ethos,

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- but I'll have to stick with long jump.- I think you will.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51You're wrong. Javelin is the right answer

0:15:51 > 0:15:53so the Eggheads have now got a question wrong and lost a player.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Well done, Paul, you've triumphed on Sport.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00So you'll be in the final round and Chris won't.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Both of you please come back to us.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06So, can you feel the tide turning?

0:16:06 > 0:16:10Er, possibly a little early to say that, but, er, having got

0:16:10 > 0:16:14a player through to the final to support Michael, that will help us.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16OK, let's see where we go from here.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19You've lost two brains, the Eggheads have now lost Chris,

0:16:19 > 0:16:22and the subject is now Science.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24- TEAM LAUGHS - Is that good?

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- That's Paul!- That's Paul.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31- So, that's me.- Sylvia is going to take one for the team here.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33This, yes, this is real sacrifice.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35OK, I'm trying to work out, we've got a chemical engineer

0:16:35 > 0:16:37on the end of the row. You're saving him, are you?

0:16:37 > 0:16:40- We certainly are.- Ah, I see.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43And having watched Barry with Science, it's going to be

0:16:43 > 0:16:46poor Judith to have a crack at Science please.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49OK, so Sylvia from the Kent Inquisitors against Judith

0:16:49 > 0:16:53on Science for the Eggheads, and just to ensure there's no conferring

0:16:53 > 0:16:56please take your positions in the question room.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00So, Science, Sylvia. Would you like to go first or second?

0:17:00 > 0:17:02I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06Here we go, good luck.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09What is the term for the opening through which light passes

0:17:09 > 0:17:11in an optical instrument?

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Well, the only thing that sort of, I know it isn't,

0:17:19 > 0:17:25it isn't ligature, I'm sure, because that's when they tie off things.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30Erm, I don't think it's coverture. I'm going to go for aperture.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Aperture is the right answer, well done.

0:17:33 > 0:17:34Judith, your question.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Which of these consists mainly of acetic acid and water?

0:17:41 > 0:17:45Well, vinegar came up in my mind before it did on the strap

0:17:45 > 0:17:47so I'm going to say vinegar.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Vinegar is the correct answer, Judith, well done.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Back to you, Sylvia.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57Which of these insects is included in the order Odonata?

0:18:03 > 0:18:07Odonata. Something to do with smelling, possibly.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13I know that ants are very clever. Er...

0:18:15 > 0:18:17I think I'll go with ants, please.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Do you know, Judith? You're quite good on your orders.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24Er, I think ants is something else.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26I think it might be dragonflies.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29- It is dragonflies.- Well done.

0:18:29 > 0:18:30Judith, to take the lead,

0:18:30 > 0:18:34the Sea of Moscow is a region of which celestial body?

0:18:39 > 0:18:42- The Sea of Moscow. Moscow, like the town?- Yeah, city.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49I think the moon is the one with the sea, so I'm going to say the moon.

0:18:49 > 0:18:50- The moon is right.- Oh!

0:18:51 > 0:18:53OK...

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Where that leaves us, Sylvia, is you have to get this question right,

0:18:56 > 0:18:58OK, otherwise Judith goes through to the final.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01And we're trying to hold back the Egghead tide.

0:19:01 > 0:19:06Which member of the alkane series of hydrocarbons

0:19:06 > 0:19:10has the chemical formula C4H10

0:19:10 > 0:19:14and can be liquefied under pressure at normal temperatures?

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Hmm, that is quite difficult.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22That is very difficult, gas is very difficult.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Don't know too much about any of those gases.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31So, but it's liquefied.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35I think I might go for butane.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38- You're right, Sylvia, well done. - Wow.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- That was good, how did you do that? - Quite amazing.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48So you have to hope now that Judith gets this one wrong,

0:19:48 > 0:19:50- which can happen, Judith, can't it? - It does, frequently.

0:19:50 > 0:19:56Bufo marinus, or the cane toad, is native to which of these continents?

0:19:59 > 0:20:03It's causing huge problems in Australia,

0:20:03 > 0:20:05erm, where it's got rather out of control,

0:20:05 > 0:20:09so it must have been imported to Australia,

0:20:09 > 0:20:14and the nearest to Australia is Asia, so I think I'm going to risk Asia.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- I get the logic but it's wrong, it's South America.- Oh.

0:20:18 > 0:20:19We go to Sudden Death, Sylvia.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22It becomes a little bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24How could you get that one wrong?!

0:20:24 > 0:20:26LAUGHTER

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Come on, you can get in the final here.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32The technical name for which bone in the human body ultimately

0:20:32 > 0:20:35derives from a Latin word meaning "key?"

0:20:35 > 0:20:36Key...

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Bone, key...

0:20:43 > 0:20:47I don't really know but I'm going to have to guess. Erm, cranium?

0:20:47 > 0:20:51- No, do you know the Latin word for key?- No.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52- Judith?- Is it clavicle?

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Yeah, clavis is the Latin word for key,

0:20:54 > 0:20:57so from that you get to clavicle, yeah, collar bone.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02OK, Judith, for the round.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04In 1954, Joseph E Murray,

0:21:04 > 0:21:08who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1990,

0:21:08 > 0:21:12performed the first successful human transplant of which organ?

0:21:13 > 0:21:16- In 1954?- 1954.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Erm, kidney?

0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Kidney is the right answer.- Phew.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25From one identical twin to another,

0:21:25 > 0:21:27interestingly, and the person who

0:21:27 > 0:21:29got the kidney survived for several years,

0:21:29 > 0:21:31as indeed you will survive in this contest, Judith.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Well done, you're in the final round. Sylvia, sorry.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36You've been knocked out on Science.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42So, this is what we have been playing towards, it is time for

0:21:42 > 0:21:45the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:21:47 > 0:21:50won't be allowed to take part in this round,

0:21:50 > 0:21:53so, Raymond, Sylvia and Jane from the Kent Inquisitors

0:21:53 > 0:21:57and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?

0:21:58 > 0:21:59So, Paul and Michael,

0:21:59 > 0:22:03you are playing to win the Kent Inquisitors £1,000.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin,

0:22:04 > 0:22:07you're playing for something that money can't buy,

0:22:07 > 0:22:09the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14This time the questions are all General Knowledge.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17You are allowed to confer. So, Paul and Michael,

0:22:17 > 0:22:20the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23And would you like to go first or second?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25I think we'd like to go first.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Here we go, good luck.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34Which Steven Spielberg-directed film was nominated for 11 Oscars

0:22:34 > 0:22:35but won none?

0:22:42 > 0:22:43I've heard of all the films.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46But I'm not sure which one it is.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50- Erm, have you any...?- I'm not much help on this one, I'm afraid.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, Schindler's List was very popular,

0:22:53 > 0:22:55and so was The Color Purple.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00- I think I'd go for Amistad.- OK.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04We'll go for Amistad.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Let's see, cos we've got film buffs on this side.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Color Purple.- Color Purple is the answer. Color Purple.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14OK, Eggheads, your question.

0:23:14 > 0:23:19Which actress was married to the actor Ian Holm from 1991 to 2001?

0:23:25 > 0:23:26I think...

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Not Susan Hampshire,

0:23:28 > 0:23:30she's married to some sort of Greek person with a beard.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33I don't think Felicity Kendal was married to Ian Holm.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36No, she had affairs with Tom Stoppard and somebody else, didn't she?

0:23:36 > 0:23:38So it must be Penelope Wilton.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41When the three choices came up she was my first thought,

0:23:41 > 0:23:45but I'm not certain. But I think... I don't think it's the other two.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47- OK.- I think it's Penelope Wilton.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Well, we're not 100% sure but we don't think it's

0:23:50 > 0:23:54Susan Hampshire or Felicity Kendal, so that only leaves Penelope Wilton.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Penelope Wilton is correct.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01OK, so you're behind, challengers.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Belize in Central America gained its independence

0:24:04 > 0:24:06from which other country in 1981?

0:24:10 > 0:24:15Well, I do know that for certain and that was the UK.

0:24:17 > 0:24:18So I'll say the UK.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23UK is the right answer, gentlemen, well done, got a point.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26OK, let's see if the Eggheads trip up now.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Which character in Shakespeare's Macbeth is told,

0:24:29 > 0:24:31"Thou shalt get kings though thou be none?"

0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Banquo?- Banquo, yeah. - This question, the answer is Banquo.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Banquo is the right answer. Well done.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46So that means they've got two right, you've got one right.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51You have to get this one right or the contest is over.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55Which writer created the policeman DCI Alan Banks?

0:25:00 > 0:25:02- (Peter Robinson.) - You know that for sure?- Yeah.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Paul informs me that it's Peter Robinson.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Is it Peter Robinson?- Yeah.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Peter Robinson.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Peter Robinson is correct.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Two out of three. All right, is it good enough? Let's see.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18If the Eggheads get this one right the contest is over.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21If they get it wrong we go to Sudden Death. OK, here we go.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23What is the usual meaning of the abbreviation QV

0:25:23 > 0:25:27when written on a prescription?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37What does it mean?

0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Right, QV.- I have a feeling it's "Complete the course."

0:25:40 > 0:25:44It certainly wouldn't be "Use as much as you like" on a prescription.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47- And nothing to do with alcohol. - Can't see an alcohol...

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Oh, V for vial, alcohol-related? QV?

0:25:50 > 0:25:55NV, non-vino or something.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57I think it'd be "Complete the course."

0:25:57 > 0:26:01- Happy for "Complete the course?" - Yeah. We'll have to risk it.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Well, as you gathered, Jeremy,

0:26:04 > 0:26:07we have various misgivings about this answer, but we're going to

0:26:07 > 0:26:11go for "Complete the course," and we hope that we have.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13The answer is "Use as much as you like."

0:26:13 > 0:26:16You've got it wrong, Eggheads, the contest is definitely not over.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21- And if you'd got The Color Purple you would have beaten them!- I know.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24So we go to Sudden Death.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Are you ready, Kent Inquisitors?- Yes.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33Which former model became the presenter of the TV series

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Baking Made Easy in 2011?

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Baking Made Easy. Was it...

0:26:41 > 0:26:42..someone called Lorraine?

0:26:45 > 0:26:51I think it's somebody called Lorraine but I can't think of the surname.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58It's a model so it's, it's not someone like Mary Berry.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03- You've no idea?- I'm afraid I don't.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07I'll just have to guess at Lorraine Kelly.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13That's a shame cos you were on the right track with Lorraine for sure.

0:27:13 > 0:27:18- D'you know?- Lorraine Pascale. - Lorraine Pascale is the answer.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22It gives them a chance here, the Eggheads, to come back after,

0:27:22 > 0:27:26well, what does Alex Ferguson call it?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Cock-up.- Squeaky bum time?

0:27:30 > 0:27:34The harpooner Ned Land is a character in an 1870 adventure

0:27:34 > 0:27:36novel by which French writer?

0:27:36 > 0:27:41- Jules Verne.- Mm?- He's the harpooner in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43So, Jules Verne is the...

0:27:45 > 0:27:46Er, well,

0:27:46 > 0:27:50he's the harpooner in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53The answer is Jules Verne. You're right.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56So, Eggheads, we say congratulations, you have won.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Well, you took them to Sudden Death in the final round,

0:28:04 > 0:28:07not everybody does that. Thank you very much for playing.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Commiserations to the Kent Inquisitors,

0:28:09 > 0:28:11the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them

0:28:11 > 0:28:14and they reign supreme over Quizland once again.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £1,000

0:28:16 > 0:28:19so the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:19 > 0:28:23Eggheads, back on track, who will beat you?

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:26 > 0:28:28have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31£2,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
