These people are among the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:09

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:19

Welcome to the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:230:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:31

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:310:00:33

Taking on the awesome might of our Eggheads today are...

0:00:330:00:37

This friends and family team met

0:00:370:00:40

through a love of amateur dramatics, and regularly socialise together

0:00:400:00:44

at team member Barbara's house, which they call the bolthole. Let's meet them.

0:00:440:00:50

Hi. My name's David. I'm 43 and I'm a firefighter.

0:00:500:00:54

Hi. My name's Lisa. I'm 44 and I'm an exams invigilator.

0:00:540:00:58

Hi, my name is Barbara. I'm 62 and I'm a company director.

0:00:580:01:03

Hi, my name is Richard. I'm 58 and I'm an equipment resources manager.

0:01:030:01:07

Hi, I'm Viv. I'm 66 and I'm a retired nurse.

0:01:070:01:12

Welcome to you, Boltholers. What a lovely house that sounds.

0:01:120:01:15

Barbara, tell me about the bolthole. What makes it such a place to meet?

0:01:150:01:20

It's just an ordinary little bungalow.

0:01:200:01:23

And it's one of those places when you open the door, it's welcoming.

0:01:230:01:28

-It's because I'm there, of course.

-Of course it is!

0:01:280:01:32

Is there tea and biscuits and perhaps other drinks?

0:01:320:01:34

Yes, they know where the wine is kept.

0:01:340:01:37

-And the glasses.

-They can help themselves.

0:01:370:01:40

-Straight from the bottle, maybe?

-Occasionally.

0:01:400:01:44

David, tell me about the amateur dramatics and any quizzing that goes on with you Boltholers.

0:01:440:01:50

Well, we all get involved in amateur dramatics in some way,

0:01:500:01:54

either through, like myself, writing and directing.

0:01:540:01:57

Richard does the technical bits and pieces.

0:01:570:02:00

My wife puts up with it.

0:02:000:02:03

LAUGHING: And occasionally makes tea.

0:02:030:02:05

We all get together at a quiz on a Monday evening,

0:02:050:02:08

and have done so for a couple of years now.

0:02:080:02:11

And now putting it onto a bigger stage!

0:02:110:02:14

The production comes to the main stage, to play the Eggheads.

0:02:140:02:18

Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:180:02:22

If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:220:02:26

So, Boltholers, the Eggheads have won the last 18 games.

0:02:260:02:29

£19,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:290:02:33

-That would replenish the wine stocks, wouldn't it?

-Wouldn't it just? It might fill a cellar.

0:02:330:02:39

-Not for long!

-LAUGHTER

0:02:390:02:42

£19,000 at stake then, today.

0:02:420:02:44

Our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.

0:02:440:02:48

It's the opening round, so any one of you

0:02:480:02:50

can take this one on.

0:02:500:02:52

-Barbara, how do you feel about Geography?

-I've brought my virtual sword and I'll fall on it.

0:02:520:02:58

Well, Dermot, it seems like Barbara has been volunteered for Geography.

0:02:580:03:03

Exactly. Barbara, you can choose, or maybe the team will choose for you, an Egghead to play.

0:03:030:03:09

I'd really like the badge of honour

0:03:110:03:13

and I would love to pay Kevin, please.

0:03:130:03:16

-You can PAY him. Would you like to PLAY him?

-I would like to pay him to play me.

0:03:160:03:22

-OK, a badge of honour playing Kevin?

-That's right.

0:03:220:03:26

At least if I lose, I can say I lost to the best person.

0:03:260:03:29

Yeah, that's a very good point, but be better to beat him, wouldn't it?

0:03:290:03:33

Oh, wouldn't it just? If it's geography of Cornwall, I'll be fine!

0:03:330:03:38

Well, let's have Barbara and Kevin into the question room, please.

0:03:380:03:42

Barbara decided to go for Kevin.

0:03:420:03:45

It's Geography. Would you like to go first or second?

0:03:450:03:49

I would really like to go first, please.

0:03:490:03:51

Best of luck with your first question, Barbara.

0:03:540:03:57

Which country has the longest combined land borders in the world?

0:03:570:04:02

Combined land borders?

0:04:050:04:07

I don't think it would be France.

0:04:070:04:10

I'm going to rule that out immediately.

0:04:100:04:13

I have to say that my gut feeling when the names came up was China.

0:04:130:04:18

I'll go for China, please, Dermot.

0:04:180:04:20

Yes, right to do so. It's correct.

0:04:200:04:24

Which canal links Bristol with Reading?

0:04:260:04:28

The other two are a bit further north.

0:04:320:04:35

That is the Kennet and Avon.

0:04:350:04:37

That is correct.

0:04:370:04:39

Barbara, what is the currency

0:04:390:04:41

of the country sometimes known as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia?

0:04:410:04:46

Um... I've not travelled there at all.

0:04:490:04:52

It's not a part of the world that I've been.

0:04:520:04:56

Because of its proximity, I would have to go for ruble.

0:04:560:05:00

The ruble for the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

0:05:000:05:04

-It's not, Barbara. Do you know, Kevin?

-I think it's the denar.

0:05:040:05:08

Denar, yes, that's the one we were looking for, so nothing for Barbara.

0:05:080:05:14

Of course, it's only out of interest.

0:05:140:05:16

There's no passing of questions in Eggheads.

0:05:160:05:20

Kevin, this is your second question.

0:05:200:05:22

Which capital city's main square is called Grand Place, or Grote Markt,

0:05:220:05:27

and is the location of its famous town hall?

0:05:270:05:30

As it happens, it's one of my very favourite squares

0:05:330:05:37

or large public spaces.

0:05:370:05:39

-It's the central one in Brussels.

-Yeah, why do you like that?

0:05:390:05:44

There's a lot of places to sit out and have some Belgian beer?

0:05:440:05:47

There is that. I mean, there's just something.

0:05:470:05:50

It just seems perfect, in terms of the size of the space

0:05:500:05:53

and those very high, very ornate buildings all around it.

0:05:530:05:57

-I was knocked out by it the first time I went there.

-It is Brussels.

0:05:570:06:01

You have two points. Barbara has one.

0:06:010:06:05

You need another one here, Barbara.

0:06:050:06:07

Piton de la Fournaise, one of the most active volcanoes in the world,

0:06:070:06:12

is on which island in the Indian Ocean?

0:06:120:06:15

Well, the pronunciation of that would indicate a French origin.

0:06:180:06:25

On the basis of that, seeing the word Reunion and Grande Comore,

0:06:250:06:29

I would eliminate Socotra.

0:06:290:06:33

So it's going to be a pure guess and I'm going to say...

0:06:330:06:38

Ooh, I like the name. Grande Comore.

0:06:380:06:41

Grande Comore. You like the name.

0:06:410:06:43

You won't like my response!

0:06:430:06:45

You narrowed it down, but it is Reunion.

0:06:450:06:48

-Oh, dear!

-Fail!

-I'm sorry, Barbara. You'll have to bolt, I'm afraid!

0:06:480:06:53

You'll still help the team out, though, as they make those choices as we progress through the game.

0:06:530:06:59

It means Kevin has a place in the final round.

0:06:590:07:01

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:07:010:07:05

Barbara not managing to get that badge of honour in getting rid of Kevin.

0:07:050:07:10

As it stands, one brain missing, that is Barbara, from Bolthole.

0:07:100:07:13

The Eggheads are all there. Our next subject is Film & Television.

0:07:130:07:17

This might go down well with you.

0:07:170:07:19

Who'd like to play Film & Television?

0:07:190:07:21

-Well..

-That is, without doubt, you!

0:07:210:07:24

-No. Science.

-David!

0:07:240:07:27

-It's got to be David.

-I will play, please.

0:07:270:07:30

David, choose an Egghead. Can't be Kevin but any of the other four.

0:07:300:07:33

Dermot, could I play Barry, please?

0:07:330:07:35

Let's ask Barry. He can't refuse, but we'll ask him.

0:07:350:07:38

-With pleasure.

-He likes that round.

0:07:380:07:41

Let's have David and Barry into the question room, please.

0:07:410:07:45

It's Film & Television. Would you like to go first or second, David?

0:07:450:07:50

I would like to go first, please.

0:07:500:07:52

Off we go. First question for you, David.

0:07:550:07:58

In the 2002 film 28 Days Later, the character Jim

0:07:580:08:03

awakens from a coma to find himself in which largely deserted city?

0:08:030:08:08

Well, I actually haven't seen this film.

0:08:100:08:13

So I'm going to have to start eliminating some things.

0:08:130:08:17

I'm going to remove Paris, because Jim doesn't sound French.

0:08:170:08:21

That leaves me with both sides of the Atlantic.

0:08:210:08:26

A popular film, I believe would be made in New York.

0:08:260:08:31

-That would be my answer, New York.

-OK, New York.

0:08:310:08:34

I think there have been many films with New York deserted

0:08:340:08:38

or post-Apocalyptic.

0:08:380:08:40

As for Jim not being French... What about Jules Et Jim?

0:08:400:08:44

But it's...London.

0:08:440:08:47

London. British film, wasn't it?

0:08:470:08:51

Barry, first question for you.

0:08:510:08:53

Film director Tim Burton and which British actress became parents to Billy Ray and Nell?

0:08:530:08:59

Tim Burton has had an unusual arrangement with this actress.

0:09:020:09:06

Although they've been together for many years,

0:09:060:09:08

they live in separate but adjacent houses.

0:09:080:09:11

Interesting arrangement.

0:09:110:09:13

Tim Burton has always been associated

0:09:130:09:15

with Helena Bonham Carter.

0:09:150:09:18

It's the right answer. Yes, Barry.

0:09:180:09:20

David, let's get you started here.

0:09:200:09:22

Which famous film character

0:09:220:09:25

was first portrayed on screen as an adult by Elmo Lincoln in 1918?

0:09:250:09:31

I think that's far too early for Batman.

0:09:350:09:38

So I'm removing that one.

0:09:380:09:41

And Hercule Poirot, the creation of Agatha Christie.

0:09:420:09:46

And I'm not sure that she'd written that character yet.

0:09:460:09:50

So, purely by elimination, I'm going to give you the answer of Tarzan.

0:09:500:09:56

And you'd be right to do so. Well done. OK, Barry.

0:09:560:10:00

In 1998, Perry Fenwick took on the role of which character in the TV soap EastEnders?

0:10:000:10:07

This is not my favourite soap, but Mrs Egghead really loves it.

0:10:100:10:15

So I always walk out the room when this is on and read a book!

0:10:150:10:19

But I do believe Perry Fenwick plays Billy Mitchell in EastEnders.

0:10:190:10:22

Billy Mitchell is correct and gives you back the lead.

0:10:220:10:26

You need to get this, David.

0:10:260:10:28

Broadcaster Bettany Hughes became known for her television programmes on which subject?

0:10:280:10:34

I happen to have watched a great many of these programmes,

0:10:380:10:41

as she's travelled round the world.

0:10:410:10:44

And...they're not nature. They're not economics.

0:10:440:10:48

-They're definitely history.

-Definitely history!

0:10:480:10:50

Yes, they are. It's the right answer.

0:10:500:10:53

Going really strongly there,

0:10:550:10:58

but being held back by that X from your first answer,

0:10:580:11:03

which gives Barry this opportunity to win the round.

0:11:030:11:06

Who directed the 2012 sci-fi blockbuster Avengers Assemble?

0:11:060:11:11

Oh, dear. This is embarrassing because I've seen this film

0:11:160:11:20

and I can't recall who directed it.

0:11:200:11:22

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I'm going to go for Christopher Nolan.

0:11:220:11:26

Christopher Nolan. Other Eggheads?

0:11:260:11:28

Joss Whedon.

0:11:280:11:30

Joss Whedon. There you are. Great news for you, David.

0:11:300:11:35

All-square, you getting one wrong at the beginning of those three

0:11:350:11:39

and Barry at the end.

0:11:390:11:42

So we move into the Sudden Death phase and remove the options.

0:11:420:11:46

This is yours, David.

0:11:460:11:47

In which film did the actor James Dean play a character called Jim Stark?

0:11:470:11:53

Oh, dear. He only made a few films.

0:11:530:11:58

And I'm only remembering one of them.

0:11:580:12:02

The one I'm remembering is Rebel Without A Cause.

0:12:020:12:06

So I'm going to give you Rebel Without A Cause.

0:12:060:12:09

Well I mean, on that basis, that it's the only one you can remember,

0:12:090:12:13

better to give us that one than nothing, isn't it?

0:12:130:12:17

Which is the right answer, by the way.

0:12:170:12:20

Rebel Without A Cause, Jimmy Dean as Jim Stark.

0:12:200:12:23

Barry, on which TV panel game, first screened in 2007,

0:12:230:12:27

do team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack try to bluff their opponents?

0:12:270:12:31

Oh, dear. I have seen this a number of times

0:12:310:12:34

and I'm struggling to recall the name of the game.

0:12:340:12:37

I really can't remember this, so I shall hazard a guess at True Or False.

0:12:370:12:42

True Or False.

0:12:420:12:44

No, it's not, Barry.

0:12:440:12:46

Do you know, David, just to give you the final honour?

0:12:460:12:49

-I'm afraid I don't know.

-It doesn't matter. Other Eggheads?

0:12:490:12:53

-CHRIS AND DAVE: Would I Lie To You?

-Would I Lie To You?

0:12:530:12:56

Coming back to you now, Barry.

0:12:560:12:58

Yes, too late.

0:12:580:13:01

Well done, David. Really had to fight to get through there.

0:13:010:13:05

And you've done it. Means you're in the final round.

0:13:050:13:09

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:13:090:13:12

Firefighter David extinguished Barry as he was burning very brightly.

0:13:120:13:17

The Boltholers have still lost that one brain from the final round, but the Eggheads have now lost one.

0:13:170:13:23

Let's move on to round three. This subject is Politics.

0:13:230:13:26

Who'd like to play this?

0:13:260:13:29

-Lisa, Richard or Viv?

-Viv is going to play Politics.

0:13:290:13:32

Viv, we've got you sorted, so let's choose someone for you to play.

0:13:320:13:36

Chris, Daphne or Dave?

0:13:360:13:38

-BARBARA:

-Tremendous Knowledge?

0:13:380:13:41

-What about TK Dave?

-Yeah, I'll go for TK Dave.

0:13:410:13:44

-Yeah, TK Dave!

-TK Dave!

0:13:440:13:47

Let's have Tremendous Knowledge into the question room with you, Viv.

0:13:470:13:52

Viv, hopefully David's success

0:13:530:13:55

can spur you on to getting through against Dave.

0:13:550:13:59

Would you like to go first or second?

0:13:590:14:02

I'd like to go first, please.

0:14:020:14:04

All right, Viv, and best of luck with your first question.

0:14:070:14:10

According to convention, how are MPs usually addressed in the House of Commons?

0:14:100:14:15

It's definitely not Gracious Member.

0:14:190:14:23

Respectable or Honourable,

0:14:250:14:27

either of those are doubtful with some of our politicians.

0:14:270:14:31

But traditionally, it's Honourable Member.

0:14:310:14:34

-CHUCKLING:

-Yes, it is! Thank you for the extra comments, Viv.

0:14:340:14:38

Honourable Member is correct.

0:14:380:14:41

"Usually addressed in the House of Commons".

0:14:410:14:43

Occasionally, somebody uses the L word and is banished from the House.

0:14:430:14:49

Calls an MP a "liar". Not allowed in the chamber.

0:14:490:14:51

Your first question, Dave.

0:14:510:14:54

In July 2012, the premier of which country was reported to have married a singer called Ri Sol Ju?

0:14:540:15:01

-Can you spell it for me, please?

-R-I S-O-L J-U.

0:15:030:15:08

Three words. Ri Sol Ju.

0:15:080:15:10

I'll have to go North Korea, with no conviction at all.

0:15:110:15:15

Yeah, well, just on the name.

0:15:150:15:18

North Korea, it's the right answer. Good start to both of you. Viv.

0:15:180:15:22

The Treaty of Lisbon, signed in 2007,

0:15:220:15:26

established new rules for which organisation?

0:15:260:15:29

Well, I don't think it was NATO.

0:15:330:15:35

I think you can rule NATO out.

0:15:350:15:38

I think...it was the European Union.

0:15:390:15:43

Yeah, I'll go for European Union.

0:15:430:15:45

EU is correct, Viv. Well done.

0:15:450:15:48

Dave, the five giant evils that the 1942 Beveridge Report identified

0:15:510:15:56

were want, disease, ignorance, squalor and what else?

0:15:560:16:01

Um...

0:16:040:16:06

I will have to have a stab at idleness.

0:16:070:16:12

Idleness, a giant evil identified by the Beveridge Report.

0:16:120:16:16

Correct. Well done.

0:16:160:16:18

In the Cabinet Room in 10 Downing St whose portrait is on the wall

0:16:200:16:23

over the fireplace behind the Prime Minister's chair?

0:16:230:16:26

Well, I don't really know this one, but...

0:16:300:16:34

I doubt it's Queen Victoria.

0:16:340:16:36

I would assume that if it was the Queen or a monarch

0:16:360:16:40

it would have to be changed every time the monarch changed.

0:16:400:16:43

Going purely on gut instinct, I would go for Robert Walpole.

0:16:430:16:48

Which is the right answer! Well done, Viv.

0:16:480:16:51

All the pressure on Dave now.

0:16:530:16:55

Whose 1867 book entitled The English Constitution

0:16:550:16:59

is regarded as one of the best accounts of the British political system ever written?

0:16:590:17:04

That's Walter Bagehot.

0:17:090:17:12

-OK, the one in the middle.

-Yeah.

0:17:120:17:15

Walter Bagehot is correct, Dave.

0:17:150:17:18

Both know your politics here, as you're demonstrating.

0:17:180:17:23

Nobody got one wrong yet, so we go to Sudden Death.

0:17:230:17:27

Viv, the headline "It's the Sun wot won it"

0:17:270:17:31

first appeared on the front page of the Sun newspaper after which year's General Election?

0:17:310:17:36

I believe that was...1979.

0:17:360:17:41

OK, 1979, of course, Margaret Thatcher's first success.

0:17:420:17:47

It's incorrect. Not 1979. Do you know, Dave?

0:17:470:17:51

I would have gone for when Neil Kinnock was against John Major in 1992.

0:17:510:17:57

That's the one, 1992.

0:17:570:17:59

And you've hit upon it because just before the election,

0:17:590:18:03

didn't they print a front page of Neil Kinnock's head in a light bulb?

0:18:030:18:08

Wasn't it the one after Neil Kinnock had had the rally at Sheffield,

0:18:080:18:12

where it looked like Labour was winning in the opinion polls, or people believed?

0:18:120:18:17

Then the Sun put something about turning the lights out, last person to leave the country.

0:18:170:18:23

Yeah, Neil Kinnock's head in a light bulb.

0:18:230:18:25

There we are. 1992.

0:18:250:18:27

-It wasn't your question, Dave.

-No!

0:18:270:18:30

-I'll get this one wrong now.

-You have to get this to win.

0:18:300:18:34

The Parliament of Canada is located in which city?

0:18:340:18:37

Ottawa.

0:18:370:18:39

He knows those. It's the right answer, Dave. You're through.

0:18:390:18:43

-Viv, you were going so well.

-Very well.

0:18:430:18:45

-You had a real chance.

-It's the way the questions fall.

0:18:450:18:48

-I'm sure if Viv had had my set...

-I knew Ottawa!

0:18:480:18:51

She would have won, so it's the way the questions fall. I'm sorry, Viv.

0:18:510:18:55

Great stuff! The hand across the trenches.

0:18:550:18:59

Let's have Viv and Dave back in the studio, please.

0:18:590:19:04

Some high-quality quizzing, but Dave just squeezed through against Viv,

0:19:050:19:10

so the Boltholers have lost two brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one.

0:19:100:19:15

What's going to happen in our last head-to-head? It's Music.

0:19:150:19:19

Who wants to play?

0:19:190:19:21

It can only be Richard or Lisa.

0:19:210:19:24

-What are we looking at, folks?

-We knew what that was on the plan.

0:19:240:19:28

-Couldn't have fallen better.

-Dermot, Lisa would like to play.

0:19:280:19:32

And choose from Daphne or Chris.

0:19:320:19:34

-I would love to play against Daphne.

-Would you?

-I would.

-Are you sure?

0:19:340:19:38

Yes. DERMOT LAUGHS

0:19:380:19:40

Give her a good run for the money. Let's have Lisa and Daphne into the question room, please.

0:19:400:19:46

All right, Lisa, can you make it? Playing Daphne here.

0:19:460:19:51

-Do you want to go first or second?

-I'll go first, please.

0:19:510:19:54

Best of luck, Lisa. First question.

0:19:570:20:00

"And so, you're back from outer space

0:20:000:20:02

"I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face"

0:20:020:20:07

are lines from which 1970s hit single?

0:20:070:20:10

Um... I don't think it's I Will Survive.

0:20:160:20:20

I think it's Video Killed The Radio Star, so I'll go for that.

0:20:220:20:26

Video Killed The Radio Star.

0:20:260:20:28

-Unfortunately, Lisa, it is I Will Survive.

-Oh, no.

0:20:280:20:32

That anthem, almost. Yes, I Will I Survive.

0:20:320:20:37

Let's hope you will survive after that stumble.

0:20:370:20:41

Daphne, the American band Lady Antebellum, formed in 2006,

0:20:410:20:46

specialises in which genre of music?

0:20:460:20:49

I think they've won Grammys, haven't they?

0:20:530:20:56

They're country.

0:20:560:20:58

Country music? Correct, Daphne. Lisa, I think you need to get this.

0:20:580:21:04

Which musical theatre star played the title role

0:21:040:21:07

in the 2012 West End production of Sweeney Todd

0:21:070:21:10

opposite Imelda Staunton as Mrs Lovett?

0:21:100:21:13

I haven't seen this and I haven't actually heard too much about it.

0:21:180:21:23

So I'm not really sure, but I will go for Lee Mead.

0:21:230:21:26

Lee Mead, do the Boltholers agree,

0:21:260:21:29

given that this is your favourite subject?

0:21:290:21:32

No, I believe we would say Michael Ball.

0:21:320:21:36

-Oh, dear. Yeah, it's Michael Ball.

-OK.

0:21:360:21:40

I said "I will survive". You won't if Daphne gets this.

0:21:420:21:46

Daphne, what was the the 2008 album with which Katy Perry made her commercial breakthrough?

0:21:460:21:52

Not Hard Candy.

0:21:560:21:59

That's Madonna. Um...

0:21:590:22:02

TO HERSELF: Katy Perry...?

0:22:030:22:06

SIGHS 50-50. One Of The Boys.

0:22:060:22:10

50-50 guess, One Of The Boys.

0:22:110:22:14

-We know how bad you are at guessing, Daphne(!)

-Yes.

0:22:140:22:18

-LAUGHS:

-It's the right answer! It's correct.

0:22:180:22:22

Well, I'm afraid, Lisa,

0:22:220:22:25

we close it down there.

0:22:250:22:27

Means no place for you in the final round. Would you both please join your teams?

0:22:270:22:33

This is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:22:330:22:39

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

0:22:390:22:41

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

0:22:410:22:44

So, Lisa, Barbara and and Viv from the Boltholers

0:22:440:22:48

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

0:22:480:22:52

David and Richard, you are playing to win the Boltholers £19,000.

0:22:540:22:59

Kevin, Dave, Daphne and Chris, you are playing for something which money cannot buy -

0:22:590:23:04

the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:040:23:07

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

0:23:070:23:10

The questions are General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.

0:23:100:23:14

The question is, Boltholers, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:23:140:23:20

David and Richard, in terms of tactics, do you want to go first or second?

0:23:200:23:24

-What do you think?

-Probably best to go first, I think.

0:23:240:23:28

Good luck, David and Richard. First question for you.

0:23:320:23:34

Which creature's name is derived from the Afrikaans for "earth pig"?

0:23:340:23:39

Which creature's name is derived from the Afrikaans for "earth pig"?

0:23:420:23:47

Well, I know it's not a kudu, cos that's a deer.

0:23:480:23:52

-Right.

-And an ostrich is...

0:23:520:23:54

-We know what an ostrich is. It's a bird.

-Yes.

0:23:540:23:58

I would say it's an aardvark. Would you agree with that?

0:23:580:24:01

-That process of elimination, I will go with.

-Your answer is...?

0:24:010:24:05

-Aardvark.

-It's correct. Well done.

0:24:050:24:09

Which Yorkshire river flows through York, Selby and Goole?

0:24:110:24:15

Which Yorkshire river flows through York, Selby and Goole?

0:24:180:24:21

That's the Ouse. It always floods in York, doesn't it?

0:24:210:24:26

That's the Yorkshire Ouse, Dermot.

0:24:260:24:29

Well, we haven't offered you any other Ouses!

0:24:290:24:32

-There is another one.

-I know, being very careful, but you don't need to.

0:24:320:24:37

It is the Ouse. Your Yorkshire correspondent not required.

0:24:370:24:41

He's silent in the question room. It's the right answer.

0:24:410:24:46

Your question now, Boltholers.

0:24:460:24:49

Wire cut, fletton and stock are types of what?

0:24:490:24:54

Wire cut, fletton and stock are types of what?

0:24:570:25:03

Wire cut?

0:25:030:25:06

I'm inclined to be drawn towards brick.

0:25:060:25:09

-That's how you would actually...

-That's what I was thinking of.

0:25:090:25:12

The type of brick they are. Pastry crust? No. I can't see it.

0:25:120:25:17

-Neckline, I can't see.

-No.

-I'm actually drawn towards brick.

0:25:170:25:21

So, the answer would be brick.

0:25:230:25:25

Wire cut, fletton and stock are types of brick. It's correct.

0:25:250:25:29

Wellington constructed the lines of Torres Vedras to defend which city in 1810?

0:25:310:25:38

Wellington constructed the lines of Torres Vedras

0:25:400:25:43

to defend which city in 1810?

0:25:430:25:45

-Lisbon, Kevin?

-Lisbon, yeah.

0:25:450:25:48

That's Lisbon, Dermot.

0:25:480:25:50

Is this the Peninsular Wars?

0:25:500:25:52

-Yeah.

-It's the correct answer.

0:25:520:25:54

Well done, Eggheads. Going well, Boltholers.

0:25:540:25:57

Keep it up.

0:25:570:25:59

In which role did Alber Elbaz become influential in the fashion world?

0:25:590:26:04

In which role did Alber Elbaz become influential in the fashion world?

0:26:080:26:13

Alber, first name, A-L-B-E-R.

0:26:130:26:17

Surname, Elbaz, E-L-B-A-Z.

0:26:170:26:21

-Alber Elbaz?

-I'm drawn towards photography.

0:26:220:26:26

I... Possibly photographer, but...

0:26:260:26:29

-What are you thinking?

-I don't think he was a model.

-No.

0:26:310:26:34

Eliminate model altogether.

0:26:340:26:36

It's not a photographer's name I know.

0:26:360:26:40

-Plus, also, I don't know any designer called that.

-No.

0:26:400:26:44

So it's going to be a 50-50 between photographer or designer.

0:26:440:26:49

Elbaz, I just haven't heard of it.

0:26:490:26:53

No, I'd never heard of him.

0:26:530:26:55

-Would you just say photographer?

-I'd go for photographer.

0:26:550:26:59

That would be my call, but I'll leave it to you.

0:26:590:27:02

The only one I can think of possibly would be a photographer, Dermot.

0:27:020:27:06

Photographer for Alber Elbaz?

0:27:060:27:08

In the world of fashion, best known, influential as a...

0:27:080:27:13

designer.

0:27:130:27:15

Designer!

0:27:160:27:17

So, a dangerous spot to stumble at. Eggheads, then, to win the game.

0:27:190:27:24

In Scandinavian history, what was a skald?

0:27:240:27:27

In Scandinavian history, what was a skald, S-K-A-L-D?

0:27:300:27:35

-A poet. He's the one that did all the sagas.

-The saga man, yes.

0:27:350:27:39

He talked to the kings and declared the wars.

0:27:390:27:42

He was basically, the keeper of the sagas, a poet.

0:27:420:27:46

A poet? For another victory.

0:27:460:27:50

You have it. It is correct. You've won.

0:27:500:27:53

Bad luck, Boltholers. I can tell by the way you've been quizzing,

0:27:580:28:02

even those that just failed in those head-to-heads,

0:28:020:28:06

you're a very good quiz team.

0:28:060:28:08

But you came up against the best and they really are on a run of form.

0:28:080:28:14

Thank you very much indeed for attempting to beat the Eggheads.

0:28:140:28:18

But, of course, you have the comforts of the bolthole awaiting.

0:28:180:28:22

-LAUGHING:

-We do!

-Definitely.

0:28:220:28:24

The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues.

0:28:240:28:28

I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £19,000. The money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:280:28:33

Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:330:28:37

Join us to see if a new team of challengers have those brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:370:28:42

Because £20,000 now says they don't.

0:28:420:28:45

Until then, goodbye.
