0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:29pit their wits against, possibly,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. And challenging our resident
0:00:34 > 0:00:36general knowledge geniuses
0:00:36 > 0:00:38today are the Yellow Bellies.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now, this team have been quizzing together at their local pub,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44The Black Bull, in Welton near Lincoln for the past year.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46So, let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Phil, I'm 56, and I'm a retired lawyer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 45, and I'm a financial advisor.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Sally, I'm 47, and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Malcolm, I'm 55, and I'm a retired newspaper editor.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Paul, I'm 56, and I'm a retired software engineer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08So, Phil and team, welcome.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- Good to see you. - ALL: Hi!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And I've got to ask you about this name, Yellow Bellies.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- So, it's got a local connection? - Well, it has, Jeremy, yeah.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We're all from Lincolnshire and "yellow bellies" is,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22very simply, a term for somebody that was born and bred in Lincolnshire.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Does anyone here know why? Kevin?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I've got an idea, I may be wrong, but I think it's to do with
0:01:27 > 0:01:32regiments during the Civil War and the colour of their uniforms.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33How about that?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Can we go home now? THEY LAUGH
0:01:36 > 0:01:37It's a waistcoat, isn't it?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- It is.- The regimental waistcoat, OK.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42So, that's where we get Yellow Bellies from.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43And how's the quizzing going?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Pretty good up to date, I'm not sure about today though.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47- Good luck in this contest. - Thank you.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:49 > 0:01:51up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59So, Yellow Bellies, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02which means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Would you like to try? - Yes.- Oh, yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Who would like to play this?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- That would be me, Jeremy.- OK, Paul... - Good luck, Paul.- Thank you.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15..against which Egghead?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Who do you think?- I don't know. Do you think Pat?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Pat, maybe.- Pat, maybe. - Yeah, I think Pat's a good choice.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Yeah, let's go for Pat. - OK, Pat.- Pat.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Right, so Paul from the Yellow Bellies versus
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Pat from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29And, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32would you please take your positions in our question room.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35OK, well, good luck, Paul.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38We're on Geography against Pat, who's very, very sharp.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41You can see his new glasses are already in operation.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51The recreational area known as Venice Beach is in which US city?
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Well, I don't know any beaches in Chicago or Seattle,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01so, I'll have to go with Los Angeles.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Los Angeles is correct.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Famous for what? Bodybuilders and stuff.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Yes, musclemen work out there. - Pat, your question.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Which of these cities is located on the south island of New Zealand?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I think Auckland is towards the north of North Island.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Wellington is on the extreme south of North Island.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28And Dunedin is halfway down South Island. So, I think it's Dunedin.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Dunedin is the right answer.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Paul, back to you. The highest mountain peak in Africa
0:03:34 > 0:03:35is in which country?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Well, it's Kilimanjaro...
0:03:41 > 0:03:43and it's in Tanzania.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Tanzania is quite right. Well done.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- And Phil has climbed it twice, I gather.- I have, yeah.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Pat, the Canary Wharf complex of offices
0:03:53 > 0:03:55is situated in which London borough?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02It's in...they're on the Isle of Dogs. Um...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Croydon is considerably to the south
0:04:06 > 0:04:10and Kensington & Chelsea is to the west of Central London.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12This is Tower Hamlets.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Tower Hamlets is the right answer.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Over to you, Paul.
0:04:16 > 0:04:192013 marked which anniversary of the beginning of the construction
0:04:19 > 0:04:21of Amsterdam's famous canal district?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I can't think of any
0:04:28 > 0:04:32good reasons to guess for any of them, so...
0:04:32 > 0:04:33I will...
0:04:36 > 0:04:37..go for 400th.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41400th is correct.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Playing very, very well. - APPLAUSE
0:04:43 > 0:04:46That's a very hard one to guess, that, with no information.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Brilliant. OK, Pat.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51See if you can stay in. If you get this one wrong,
0:04:51 > 0:04:52you'll be out of the contest.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Mustang is a region in which Asian country?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I think it's an ancient region
0:05:03 > 0:05:06in the Himalayan plateau
0:05:06 > 0:05:08and I think it's in Nepal.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11- Eggheads?- I think that's right.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Eggheads agree with you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Nepal is the right answer, so three out of three for you both.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18We go to Sudden Death now, OK, so it gets a bit harder.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I don't give you alternatives.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Which Scottish city was formerly nicknamed Juteopolis,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26on account of it's thriving Jute industry?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29This is also going to have to be a guess.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'm thinking...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35east coast, so I'm going to go for Dundee.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Dundee is correct.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40APPLAUSE
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Pat, your question.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Saint Bavo Cathedral and Gravensteen Castle
0:05:46 > 0:05:49are features of which Belgian city?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I was there a long time ago
0:05:51 > 0:05:56when I was in a crocodile of fellow travellers on a very cold day.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00And I think we shuffled past Saint Bavo's Cathedral and didn't go in.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02So, I've not seen the interior.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04But I'm pretty sure this is Ghent.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Ghent is correct. Here is your Sudden Death question, Paul.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12What is the name of the South American capital city that is
0:06:12 > 0:06:15located 15 miles south of the equator
0:06:15 > 0:06:18and is overlooked by the Pichincha Volcano?
0:06:18 > 0:06:24Well, the two countries on the equator are Ecuador and Brazil.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28So, it's not Brazil, so I'll go for Quito.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Brilliant play. Quito is the right answer.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33APPLAUSE
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Has anyone got a question wrong yet?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- No, they have not.- No. - No, they have not.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40The first one to do so will be in some trouble.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Pat, the largest island of the Juan Fernandez Archipelago
0:06:45 > 0:06:49in the South Pacific, is named after which fictional character?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Well, we have Alexander Selkirk somewhere,
0:06:54 > 0:06:55but I think he's a real person.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Of course, the fictional character inspired by him
0:06:58 > 0:07:01was Robinson Crusoe, so...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'll just do a quick check.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Yeah, Alexander Selkirk is a real person, a fictional...
0:07:06 > 0:07:07I'll have to go for Robinson Crusoe.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Robinson Crusoe is correct.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Back to you, Paul.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Which region of France in the north-east of the country is
0:07:15 > 0:07:21situated between Champagne-Ardenne and Alsace?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Uh, the only connection I can think of is with Alsace,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26and that would be Lorraine.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Lorraine is also correct.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31APPLAUSE
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I can't remember a sequence where a Challenger has got
0:07:34 > 0:07:36this many right in a row for some time.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Paul, you're playing brilliantly. See if you can dislodge him.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Pat, the Barranca del Cobre...
0:07:44 > 0:07:48a series of canyons in Mexico, is known in English by what name,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50related to their colour?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Hmm. I know there's an immense canyon in Mexico.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It is even deeper than the Grand Canyon,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02called the Copper Canyon, which is tempting.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04And copper, certainly...
0:08:04 > 0:08:06could be described as a colour, although
0:08:06 > 0:08:09it's not like yellow and blue, it's not quite that reliable.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Can I think of any other large Mexican canyons?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Barranca del Cobre. So, that's, well,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18relating to a snake in some way.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I think I'll have to go with Copper Canyon.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Copper Canyon is right.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26OK, Paul...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29which large artificial body of water,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32constructed in Central England during the 1970s,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35was originally to be called Empingham Reservoir?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Uh, I believe I have been there.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Um, so it would Rutland Water.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Rutland Water is correct.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48APPLAUSE
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Pat, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Which major US city is located where the Charles River meets the sea?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I think that is Boston.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Boston is the right answer, Pat. Well done.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Back to you, Paul.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Which Russian city on the sea of Japan was given a name
0:09:08 > 0:09:11that has been translated as "Rule The East"?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Oh, Russian cities on the east coast...
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Uh, I can only think of one, and that's Vladivostok.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Vladivostok is the right answer. Well done.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25APPLAUSE
0:09:25 > 0:09:27OK, back to you, Pat.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30What is the name of the so-called urban extension to
0:09:30 > 0:09:33the town of Dorchester pioneered by Prince Charles?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I think it's called Poundbury.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Poundbury is correct.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43OK, your question, Paul.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Sindh is one of the four provinces of which modern day country?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Not sure. I think I'll go for Sri Lanka.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Ah. You have now got one wrong, I'm afraid. It's Pakistan.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Did you know that one, Pat?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Yes, it's Karachi is the chief city of Sindh.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Pat, if you get this one right...
0:10:07 > 0:10:08you'll be in the final.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Which country has borders with Montenegro,
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Kosovo, Macedonia and Greece?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia and Greece...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21My first thought is Albania.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I just have to think whether there are any other possibilities.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I think I'll have to say Albania.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Albania is the right answer, Pat.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Very, very well played against a ferocious Challenger.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38You are in the final round. Sorry, Paul, you've been knocked out.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Thank you for playing.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Please, both of you, come back here and rejoin your teams.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47So, as it stands, the Yellow Bellies have lost a brain,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49the Eggheads have not lost one so far.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Who would like this?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Is that me?- I think so, yeah.- I think that's me.- Sally?- Yes.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- OK, against which Egghead? - Um...Barry? No?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Barry, do you think?- Yeah, go on. - I'd like to play Barry, please.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07OK, Sally from the Yellow Bellies versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Please go to the question room now.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13So, Arts & Books, Sally. Would you like to go first or second?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Here we go. Good luck. What is the name of the middle daughter
0:11:20 > 0:11:23of the title character in Shakespeare's play King Lear?
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Um, I don't think that it is Roma.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35And I don't think it's Rachel.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36I think it's Regan.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Regan is correct. Well done.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Barry,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43The Lock, a painting that depicts a rural Suffolk scene,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47and sold for £22.4 million in 2012,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49is a work by which English artist?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Suffolk immediately makes me think of Constable,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59so my answer is John Constable.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00John Constable is correct.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Back to you, Sally.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Which French author born in 1802 was the grandson of a French
0:12:07 > 0:12:09nobleman and a slave woman?
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Right, um, I don't know the answer.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25So, I'm just trying to think of when those people were alive.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Um, a nobleman and a slave girl?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Um, I don't...
0:12:35 > 0:12:38..think that it's Alexander Dumas.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I'm going to go...
0:12:44 > 0:12:46..I think, for Jules Verne.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- It's actually Alexander Dumas.- Oh.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Was Jules Verne much later, Eggheads?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- 26 years.- Oh, so not much?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58No, it's of the same time in general.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59OK, Barry, your question.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Graham Greene's short novel, The Tenth Man,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04begins towards the end of which war?
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Uh, I don't know. I can't imagine it's the Crimean War.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Graham Greene wrote a lot of novels that
0:13:14 > 0:13:17were at the end of World War II, so that'll be my answer, World War II.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20World War II is the right answer.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23So, he's ahead and it means you need to get this one right, Sally.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- OK.- The French painter Marie Bracquemond was
0:13:26 > 0:13:28an important figure in which movement?
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Well, I've never heard of an Impressionist painter by that name.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I...
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I'm going to go for...
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Abstract Expressionism.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Interestingly...
0:13:54 > 0:13:55she...
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- was an Impressionist...- Oh, right!
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- ..so, I'm sorry, you've lost to Barry.- OK.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Barry, you'll be in the final. Sally's been knocked out.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11So, as it stands, the Yellow Bellies have lost two brains
0:14:11 > 0:14:14from the final round. The Eggheads have not lost any, so far,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and your next subject is Music.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- Who would like Music?- OK.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Mark, do you want it? - It's me, isn't it?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- It's going to be you now, isn't it? - That'll be me, Jeremy.- OK, Mark.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Against which Egghead?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- It can't be Pat or Barry. - Judith?- Judith?- Yes.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I'd like to play Judith, please.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34OK, so, Mark on Music from the Yellow Bellies versus
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Judith from the Eggheads. Ready for this?- Yes.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Into the question room we go, please.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41OK, Mark, it's Music for you.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Would you like to go first or second against Judith?
0:14:44 > 0:14:45I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52And here we go. Which party favourite begins with the words,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54"Young man, there's no need to feel down,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57"I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground?"
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Um, well, strangely enough,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I think it was actually the first record that I bought. Um...
0:15:09 > 0:15:13But I know it's the Village People song YMCA.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17It is that amazing song, YMCA. Judith, your question.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Marie and Jimmy were members
0:15:21 > 0:15:26of which pop family that became a musical phenomenon in the 1970s?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I think that was The Osmonds.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34The Osmonds is correct.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Back to you, Mark. The musician born Rexton Gordon
0:15:38 > 0:15:40found fame under what name?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48I don't think it's Shaggy. Um...
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I have heard his name and I don't think it's that.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Um...
0:15:56 > 0:16:01So, that would leave Shabba Ranks and Shakira. Um...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Shakira is from...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10..Central America, so it doesn't really sound like a Central American
0:16:10 > 0:16:14name, so, on that basis, I'm going to go for Shabba Ranks, please.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Shabba Ranks is the right answer.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17APPLAUSE
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Judith, the 1960s song Little Green Bag was given a new
0:16:22 > 0:16:26lease of life in the 1990s after it featured on the soundtrack
0:16:26 > 0:16:28of which Quentin Tarantino film?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34No idea.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Um, I don't know the song, and...
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I don't know Quentin Tarantino's films either.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Pulp Fiction.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I can see why you guess that, cos there's a lot of music in
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Pulp Fiction, but not this.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- It's Reservoir Dogs, Judith.- Hmm.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54So, Mark, you have a chance to take the round now.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00The nickname Cigno de Catania, or Swan of Catania,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03has been applied to which Italian composer?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Um...
0:17:09 > 0:17:11No, I'm really not sure.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Um, so it's going to be a guess,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16and the guess is going to be Rossini.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Bellini is the answer.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21So, Judith, if you get this right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24The Bon Jovi songs Bad Medicine and Lay Your Hands On Me
0:17:24 > 0:17:27appeared on which of their studio albums?
0:17:32 > 0:17:37Um, I have no idea, I'd say, as a guess, Bon Jovi.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42The answer is New Jersey, so, Judith,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44you've been knocked out by our Challenger.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Well done, Mark. First blood then to the Challengers.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Mark, you will be in the final round.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56So, as it stands, the Yellow Bellies have lost two brains
0:17:56 > 0:17:58from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one
0:17:58 > 0:18:00and the next subject is Sport.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Who wants Sport?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04SALLY LAUGHS
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Do you want me to take on for the team?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- I think you should go. - I'll go for it.- OK, you sure?
0:18:10 > 0:18:15- You're better off in the final. I'll take Dave...- Are you sure?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Yeah, I think go for Dave.- OK.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- Phil?- I'll have to do this. - OK, on Sport against which Egghead?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- Dave, I think.- Against Dave.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So, Phil from the Yellow Bellies versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Please go to our question room now.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35OK, Phil, let's see if you can win through on Sport against Dave.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:37 > 0:18:38I'd like to go first, Jeremy.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Here is your question.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45In 2013, who took over from Jake Humphrey as
0:18:45 > 0:18:48the main presenter of the BBC's Formula One coverage?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Well, I can't think it's Carol Vorderman.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Um...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I don't think it's Suzi Perry,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04so my answer will be James May.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07No, you're wrong, actually.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08- It's Suzi Perry.- Ah!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13OK, Dave. Who regained the world number one golf ranking
0:19:13 > 0:19:16from Rory McIlroy in March 2013?
0:19:20 > 0:19:25Um, Ernie Els, has been...well, he won the Open in 2012,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28but hasn't been consistent enough...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30um, Vijay Singh, again...
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I think he's a senior player now, so, again,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36he's competing, but not...
0:19:36 > 0:19:41not at that rate, but Tiger Woods made a great start to 2013.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I think he won three big tournaments and regained the number one spot.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45My answer's Tiger Woods.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Tiger Woods is the right answer.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Back to you, Phil. The snooker player Dennis Taylor, winner of
0:19:51 > 0:19:56the 1985 World Championship, was born in which part of the UK?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Well, I can't remember Dennis Taylor having a Scottish accent...
0:20:06 > 0:20:10..nor a Welsh accent, so, I think he was born in Northern Ireland.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13You've got it right, Phil, well done. Northern Ireland.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15OK, Dave, your question.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18In March 2013, which Welsh fullback was named
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Player of the Championship for the 2013 Six Nations Championship?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I don't think it's Ryan Bevington or Dan Biggar.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I think it's Leigh Halfpenny.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37You're playing well, Dave, you're quite right. Leigh Halfpenny it is.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Phil, back to you.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45In early 2013, the American sportswoman Abby Wambach was
0:20:45 > 0:20:49named World Player of the Year 2012 in which sport?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Well, I don't know this.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58So, it will have to be a guess...
0:21:00 > 0:21:03..and I think I'll go down the middle with football.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Football is the correct answer. - APPLAUSE
0:21:07 > 0:21:10So, let's see whether that first wrong answer cost you here.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Dave, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19Andrus Veerpalu won gold medals in cross-country skiing at the 2002
0:21:19 > 0:21:23and 2006 Winter Olympic Games representing which country?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Right, I'm going to rule out Liechtenstein.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30It could be Finnish, it could be Estonia.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Um...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36..because of Andros, I'm going to go Estonia.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37You think he's right, Phil?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I've absolutely no idea, Jeremy.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm not sure that he does.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45He could be, conceivably, Finnish, but
0:21:45 > 0:21:48the first name has led me to Estonia.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Well done, Dave. You got it right. Estonia it is.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53You're in the final round. Sorry, Phil, you've been knocked out.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56So, let's see how your team fare in the final.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Please, both of you, rejoin your team-mates.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:22:05 > 0:22:06is General Knowledge.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:22:09 > 0:22:11allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14So, Phil, Sally and Paul from the Yellow Bellies,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Mark and Malcolm, you are playing to win the Yellow Bellies £2,000.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something that
0:22:26 > 0:22:30money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35This time the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40So, Mark and Malcolm, the question is, are your two brains better
0:22:40 > 0:22:44than the Eggheads' four? And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Uh, we'll go first, Jeremy.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Here we go. General de Wet,
0:22:51 > 0:22:56Keizerskroon, and Van Der Neer are varieties of which flower?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Phew! I don't think it's going to be a daffodil.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I don't think it's going to be daffodil.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- I think I can rule that one out. - Dutch.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Well, Keizerskroon is almost like,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- you know, the crown, isn't it?- Hmm.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Yeah.- I think it's tulips, so, shall we try that?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Yeah.- We'll go for tulip, Jeremy.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Tulip is the right answer.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23A bit of a Dutch connection there, I guess.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Sir Rocco Forte is especially associated with which industry?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Hotels.- Hotels.- Hotels.- Yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37That is hotels.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Hotels is correct.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Over to you, Challengers.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Woburn Abbey is the ancestral home of which Duke?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I think the Duke of Marlborough is Blenheim,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55so I'm pretty well sure we can rule that out.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57The Duke of Beaufort I'm not sure about.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Um. Woburn ...
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I would say the Duke of Bedford.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Reasonably sure about that.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06- Yeah, it would make sense...- Yeah.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10..in terms of, it isn't always the case, is it?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- The Duke being where the place is... - No.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15..but it's fairly close to the area, isn't it?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16- So...yeah.- Duke of Bedford.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Duke of Bedford is correct.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Well done. It's where the safari park is, as well, isn't it?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25That's right, yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28OK, Eggheads, in the TV comedy MASH,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31which character was played by Jamie Farr?
0:24:35 > 0:24:36He played Klinger.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Jamie Farr, Klinger, yeah.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Do you think that? Yeah.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Um, he was the, originally, cross-dressing,
0:24:42 > 0:24:47although that was toned down in later series, Corporal Klinger.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Corporal Klinger is correct.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50So, two each.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Keep at 'em, Yellow Bellies.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55What is the real first name of the American actor
0:24:55 > 0:24:57known as Christopher Walken?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Ah, I'm not sure about this, are you?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I'm not sure, not sure at all. Um...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- I don't...- Is Nigel an American name?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Well...- Have you heard of any American Nigels?- I'm not sure.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I'm not sure. I don't think it's Gerald.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Ronald Walken.- Ronald's... - Gerald Walken.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I'm drawn towards Nigel for some reason.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21I don't know why.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Right, OK.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30My gut feeling is that I can't think of any other American Nigels, so
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I don't...it's not a guarantee,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- but it's, you know, in what's basically...- A complete guess.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40..a complete guess. Um, I would maybe think Nigel...
0:25:41 > 0:25:44..is probably the one to discount, but...if there's any
0:25:44 > 0:25:47sort of inkling that you think it might be Nigel, then go with it.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51HE SIGHS I don't know. I honestly don't know.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54That's the top and bottom of it, we don't know, so...
0:25:54 > 0:25:56We don't know, but we're going to try
0:25:56 > 0:25:58as it's the most extreme one, Nigel.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59The kind of name you wouldn't keep
0:25:59 > 0:26:01if you wanted to be a famous actor.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Correct.- OK. Nigel. Are they right?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06No, I think it's Ronald.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- The correct answer is Ronald.- Ah!
0:26:10 > 0:26:12So, they can take this with this question.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Eggheads, the charity event Hands Across America,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18in which several million people held hands to attempt to form
0:26:18 > 0:26:23a human chain across the United States, took place in which decade?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Now, I'm trying to remember
0:26:31 > 0:26:33the reason and I'm...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35General hippy sentiment?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Was it the Vietnam War? - HE SIGHS
0:26:37 > 0:26:39All sorts.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Hmm.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Initially, funnily enough, when it first...
0:26:42 > 0:26:46when the choices first came up, I was thinking...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48'70s, but I'm edging towards the '80s now.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Hmm.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55You say '70s, I've got a gut feeling for the '80s.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- You have the '80s.- If you've got a gut feeling for the '80s...
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I seem to...I thought there was loads of them in the '70s.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06But it could have been to do with Vietnam and that sort of thing.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Hands Across America.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Actually...- I'm just trying to think
0:27:12 > 0:27:13- why they'd do it.- Yeah. Right.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Just trying to think. Now, Hands Across America,
0:27:18 > 0:27:19- is it sort of a healing thing?- Hmm.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I'll let you call it, Kev.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25You know, the general consensus seems to be going for the '80s,
0:27:25 > 0:27:30so, we're, with no confidence whatsoever, because...
0:27:31 > 0:27:36I'm just worried about this. I think we'll go for the 1980s, but...
0:27:36 > 0:27:38without any confidence at all, it could well be the '70s.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I don't think it's the '90s.
0:27:41 > 0:27:441980s. If you have this right, you've taken the contest.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48The year was 1986, so you've got it
0:27:48 > 0:27:49right with the 1980s
0:27:49 > 0:27:51and we say congratulations,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Eggheads, you have won!
0:27:53 > 0:27:55APPLAUSE
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Sorry, they've taken it.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- They have.- Just at the end... - Yep.- ..of the third question there.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I thought they were going every which way, but they, unfortunately,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07from your point of view, landed on the '80s.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Commiserations to the Yellow Bellies, the Eggheads have done what
0:28:10 > 0:28:13comes naturally to them and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £2,000,
0:28:16 > 0:28:21so the money rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Who will beat you?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Join us next time to see
0:28:24 > 0:28:28if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
