0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:33against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Challenging our champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are Mobiles at the Ready.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42They quiz together at the Bluebell pub in Washington, Tyne and Wear.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Matt, 24, an environmental science student.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Lewis, I'm 25 and I'm a PhD student studying Biology.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, my name is Daniel, I'm 24 and a medical student.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58I'm Dave, 21, and an environmental economics student.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Shaun, 24, and I work for a software company.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07Welcome to you. Now is your team name what I think it is - a reference to cheating at quizzes?
0:01:07 > 0:01:14Indeed. We do enjoy using our mobile phones, but obviously this studio is not allowed for that.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19You couldn't anyway. I don't think we can get a signal in here.
0:01:19 > 0:01:26- Do they really use mobiles a lot? - No, we've used them a couple of times on a few questions we're stuck on.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- How do you do it without other teams seeing you?- Everybody's doing it. It's bad, it's really bad.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- You just have to come clean. - Exactly.- And quiz clean.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39You'll get that experience today against the Eggheads.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs,
0:01:42 > 0:01:47but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that rolls over.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50The Eggheads have won the last 23 games,
0:01:50 > 0:01:55so £24,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Right. Four Head to Heads, four chances to knock them out.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Let's play our first one. This is on Film and Television.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Who wants to take this one on?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I'd save me for a bit later.
0:02:09 > 0:02:15- Are we going to go with me or you...? - If you can get someone for Sport.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- It's you.- Go on!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I'm being sacrificed. I'll take it.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26- All right. Choose any Egghead you like.- I think Daphne, please.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32OK, that's Matt and Daphne. Could I ask you both to go to the Question Room?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Matt attempting to strike the first blow.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And good luck, Matt.
0:02:42 > 0:02:49Here you go. In Little Britain, what is the name of the Prime Ministerial aide,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52played by David Walliams, who is infatuated with his boss?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Em, I think I've seen this.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01I'm not 100% sure.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07I will go for Sebastian. I'm not 100% sure, but I will go for Sebastian, Dermot.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Trying to remember those sketches. It is Sebastian. Well done.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- That's steadied the nerves a bit, has it?- Yeah.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18OK, good. Daphne,
0:03:18 > 0:03:25in the 1999 film Notting Hill, the bookseller played by Hugh Grant spills which drink on Julia Roberts?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- I'm sorry to say I've never seen it.- Oh.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Oh...
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Coffee.- Yeah, well, it's a bookshop, it's Notting Hill.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Obvious choice. But it's orange juice.- Oh!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Haha!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Well, good news for you, Matt.
0:03:51 > 0:03:58A chance for a two-nil lead. Which film starred Gregory Peck as the American Ambassador to the UK?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Oh, dear.
0:04:05 > 0:04:12None of these films are ringing any bells, so it is going to have to be a bit of a guess for me, Dermot.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16And I'll go with... Cape Fear, please.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19OK, Cape Fear for Gregory Peck.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- It's The Omen.- Oh!- Right.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24A chance for Daphne to draw level.
0:04:24 > 0:04:31Who played the character Yosser Hughes in the 1980s TV drama series Boys From The Blackstuff?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Yeah, that's more my era. And I have seen The Omen.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It's Bernard Hill.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Yeah, Bernard Hill. Right. They never stay behind for long.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50OK, Matt, but it's all square.
0:04:50 > 0:04:56Anything can happen. Third question. Which playwright is credited for his screenwriting work
0:04:56 > 0:05:00on the films Brazil and Empire of the Sun?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Again I'm not sure on this at all.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Playwrights are not my speciality at all. Em...
0:05:11 > 0:05:18I'm just seeing if any of the names ring a bell with me. Tom Stoppard I have heard of.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22But I think I'll go down the middle and go for Peter Shaffer, please.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- It's Tom Stoppard.- Oh, no. - The one you had heard of.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oh, dear. Right.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34This would be a turn around. This one would win the round.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38For which film did Robert Redford win a Best Director Oscar?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44That was Ordinary People.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47It's the right answer, Daphne.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Matt had a real chance there, but it all just drifted away
0:05:51 > 0:05:58after the first question. Bad luck. You were beaten by Daphne. There's no place for you in the final round.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06After that, Mobiles at the Ready have lost one brain from the final.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11All the Eggheads are there. Head to Head number two coming up. This one is Politics.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Who'd like to play this?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I think I'll take this one. I did do a degree in it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24Better get that out there first! Shaun, who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Not Daphne.
0:06:24 > 0:06:31- I'd like to play against Judith, please.- Right. Shaun and Judith heading for the Question Room.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- OK, Shaun, Politics. Do you want to go first or second? - First, please, Dermot.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Here you go, then.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45A controversial measure to add VAT to certain food items,
0:06:45 > 0:06:51proposed in the 2012 Budget, but later modified, was given what nickname by the British media?
0:06:56 > 0:07:02I remember seeing this in the papers and I'm pretty sure it's the Pasty Tax.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05The Pasty Tax is the right answer. One to you.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08And Judith,
0:07:08 > 0:07:15the activist who was married to Nelson Mandela from 1958 until 1996 was known by what name?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19That was Winnie.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Winnie Mandela is the right answer.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Shaun, the phrase,
0:07:24 > 0:07:31"They misunderestimated me," was widely reported in 2000 as a verbal gaffe by which politician?
0:07:35 > 0:07:41Again I'm quite sure on this. I think it'll be one of George W Bush's many verbal gaffes,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43so I'll go for George W Bush.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48OK, George Bush. "They misunderestimated me." Correct.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Judith,
0:07:50 > 0:07:57in March, 2012, Leanne Wood was elected as the first female leader of which party?
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Oh, dear. Well, I'm sure it's not the Scottish National Party.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I'm not sure,
0:08:08 > 0:08:15but I have a sort of instinct about "Played"..."Plied"... I can never pronounce it. Plaid Cymru.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- I'll say Plaid Cymru.- OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Right answer, yes. Well done, Judith.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Both doing really well.
0:08:24 > 0:08:30Shaun, the 2008 book The Pain and The Privilege by Ffion Hague
0:08:30 > 0:08:33is about the women in the life of which Prime Minister?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Ugh. I really don't know this one.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I'm just trying to rule someone out.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48It's going to be a bit of a guess. I'll go for David Lloyd George.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51OK, bit of a guess... and landing it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Well done. David Lloyd George.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56And your question, Judith,
0:08:56 > 0:09:01to try to stay in it. Between 1945 and 1951,
0:09:01 > 0:09:06which Cabinet post was held by Hugh Dalton, Sir Stafford Cripps and Hugh Gaitskell?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14I think that was Chancellor of the Exchequer.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Chancellor, correct, yes.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19All square. Right.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25We go to sudden death, Shaun. It's more or less the same without the options.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I just need to hear an answer from you.
0:09:28 > 0:09:35Between 1973 and 2003, Len Murray, Norman Willis and John Monks
0:09:35 > 0:09:40were the successive General Secretaries of which organisation?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I've got no idea on this, Dermot.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48As a guess, I'll say the Labour Party, but it's a total guess.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51OK. Labour Party. No.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- Not so very far away. Judith? - The TUC.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Trades Union Congress.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Nothing there for Shaun.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06Judith, in 2004, Manmohan Singh became the first non-Hindu Prime Minister of which country?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I think that's India.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12It is India, which puts you through
0:10:12 > 0:10:14to the final round.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19I thought Shaun might have done it, but not to be. No place for Shaun.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Both please come back and join your teams.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Well, Mobiles at the Ready might phone a few more people now!
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Two brains missing from the final round, no Eggheads gone.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Now it's Food and Drink.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Three of you left.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- We were going to play Shaun at Food and Drink.- Yeah.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Do you want to have a go? - Yeah, go on, then.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- I'll go for it.- Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Can I play Dave, please?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Yeah, you can.- Thank you.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Let's have Lewis and Dave into the Question Room.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05A little bit of history in the making. Dave's first Food and Drink Head to Head.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Lewis, would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Dermot.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12All right, Lewis.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18What is sandwiched with chocolate between two Graham crackers
0:11:18 > 0:11:23to make the traditional American campfire treat known as s'mores?
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Em, I am fairly certain that it's roasted marshmallow.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37You see it on a lot of American TV shows. They talk about s'mores.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I'm pretty sure it's marshmallow.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43It is the right answer. Well done. Off to a good start. Dave,
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Morecambe Bay is particularly well-known as a source of which food?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Shrimps.- Yes, that's correct.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56And Lewis,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59the Green Fairy is a nickname for which alcoholic drink?
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Em...
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Creme de Menthe and Absinthe can both be green.
0:12:09 > 0:12:15I'm tempted to go for Absinthe because it's very strong and it might make you see fairies.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- So I think I'm going to go for Absinthe.- OK.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- Do you get a few pints of it down? - Sometimes, yeah. It's good stuff.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27It's the right answer. Well done.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29OK, Dave,
0:12:29 > 0:12:37the department store Fortnum and Mason claimed to have invented which of these foodstuffs in 1738?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Hmm. Never heard of it.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Let's have a think. Go through it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I'd have thought Scotch eggs are Scotch.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'll go down the middle. Gentleman's Relish.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01OK, Gentleman's Relish is not correct.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Other Eggheads?- My first instinct was Scotch eggs.- Yeah.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Scotch eggs.- The one I ruled out. - Yeah.- Fair enough.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Well, you'll be ruled out and it'll be a big victory
0:13:14 > 0:13:20if Lewis gets it. Brazo de Gitano, which translates as Gypsy's Arm,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23is the Spanish equivalent of which food?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Not too sure.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35For some reason, black pudding is screaming out at me.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I can't imagine the Spanish really having a Swiss roll,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46and I can't think you'd give such an interesting name to garlic bread.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49So I'll go for black pudding.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Black pudding.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52No.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58- Oh, dear. It is Swiss roll.- Aww. - They're very fond of their cakes.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Still got to get this, Dave.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05The potato varieties Maris Piper and Maris Peer
0:14:05 > 0:14:11are named after the location of the site where they were developed on Maris Lane in Trumpington
0:14:11 > 0:14:13in which county?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17The village of Trumpington...
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I'm just trying to think where would be best to grow potatoes.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Em...
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I'm going to rule out Lancashire, probably foolishly.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Em, I'm going to...
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- I'm going to try Cambridgeshire. - OK, Cambridgeshire.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Why so, Dave? - Just a guess.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- No real idea at all. - A big, flat county
0:14:42 > 0:14:45full of agricultural produce. And it's right!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Well, I got away with that one!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It's all-square, then.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56And it means, Lewis, we go again to sudden death. You know what that means. No more choices for you.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01In 1998, How To Eat became the first published book by which television cook?
0:15:04 > 0:15:09I'm usually quite good with my television chefs, but that doesn't ring a bell. '98.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Jamie Oliver was around in '98,
0:15:12 > 0:15:17but it doesn't ring a bell for Jamie Oliver.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23But...it was about that time. I might have to go for Jamie Oliver.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26OK. There are a lot to choose from.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Jamie Oliver - no.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Do you know, Dave? - I thought it was Nigella Lawson.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35It is. On How To Eat. OK.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Dave now
0:15:37 > 0:15:43a chance to win it. Keeping It Simple and Time To Eat are the titles of books
0:15:43 > 0:15:47by which celebrity chef, who is noted for favouring British cuisine
0:15:47 > 0:15:51and was awarded an OBE in 2006?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56I'll go Jamie Oliver on that as he's got an OBE.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I'm not entirely sure, but I'll go Jamie Oliver on that.
0:16:00 > 0:16:06OK, both answered the TV chef questions with Jamie Oliver and both got it wrong.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- There's a certain symmetry to that. - Yes, good.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- Gary Rhodes.- I would not have gone for that in a million years.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18And another pair of questions.
0:16:18 > 0:16:25Doluca is a major independent producer of wine in which country? Doluca - D-O-L-U-C-A.
0:16:26 > 0:16:33I should be able to guess this because it sounds fairly Italian, so I have to go for Italian.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38OK, Italy. No, it's not. Dave?
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- Doluca?- D-O-L-U-C-A. Just out of interest.- Spain.- No, Turkey.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45OK.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Well, Dave, see if you get this.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52What liquid is used to cook the rice in the Malaysian dish known as nasi lemak?
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Two words - N-A-S-I L-E-M-A-K.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Malaysian cooking...
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Can you repeat the name of...? Can you repeat the question, please?
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- What liquid is used to cook the rice in the Malaysian dish known as nasi lemak?- OK.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I'll go coconut milk.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- It's the right answer, Dave! - Oh! Dearie me! That's blown me away.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25I just... I think I've beaten the better person.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Dave, you're through to the final.
0:17:27 > 0:17:33Bad luck, Lewis. Fulsome tribute from Dave. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37You've been pretty unlucky in these Head to Heads,
0:17:37 > 0:17:43but as it stands, Mobiles at the Ready are three brains down in the final round.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46The Eggheads are all there.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Let's see if anyone can win this one. Geography.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Daniel or Dave.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- Do you want me to do it? - Keep Dan to the end. Yeah?
0:17:56 > 0:18:02- All right, I'll go for this one. - Who would you like - Kevin or Pat?
0:18:02 > 0:18:08- I'll go for Kevin, please. - OK, let's have Dave and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:18:08 > 0:18:15- Well, Dave, last go. Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18OK, first question.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Good luck with it. Which island is located about 90 miles south of Cuba?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Em...
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I definitely know it's not Majorca.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I'm going to go Jamaica, please.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38It's the right answer.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Good start.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45At over 2,000 miles long, the Madeira is a major tributary of which river?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I assume, just to absolutely double check,
0:18:51 > 0:18:56- this is M-A-D-E-I-R-A, like the island?- Yeah.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- It's a major feed of the Amazon. - Yes, it is. Amazon is correct.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02OK, Dave.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Most of the land on Dartmoor is composed of which rock?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Shock - I haven't got a clue.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I'm going to have a guess at chalk.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25No, not chalk. Kevin?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Granite. - Granite. Much harder stuff.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Kevin,
0:19:30 > 0:19:36which Essex town was granted city status in 2012 as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44I hope I'm not mixing years up, but I think it was Chelmsford.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46That's right.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48You need this, Dave.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Which was the last of these New York landmarks to be completed?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Em...
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I don't really have a clue. I'll rule out Statue of Liberty.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- I'll go Empire State Building. - You think the Empire State Building.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13- Have you been to New York?- Never. - If you win, you can go up the Empire State Building. Right answer.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18But you might not be playing in that final round to win it
0:20:18 > 0:20:21because Kevin can knock you out.
0:20:21 > 0:20:28At an elevation of over 4,000 metres, which peak is the highest mountain entirely within Italy?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Mm. It's not Vesuvius.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39And the Gran Paradiso is in the...Apennines.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Marmolada...
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Further up towards the...
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Entirely within Italy.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I'm really not sure.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'm going to go for Marmolada.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59OK, Marmolada.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04The highest peak entirely within Italy. It's not the right answer.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Gran Paradiso. - It is Gran Paradiso.- Yeah, OK.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Fortunate and unfortunate.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16It's not often you get one wrong, but it just happens that Dave got his second one wrong.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21If you'd got the rock on Dartmoor, you'd be through. That's what ifs.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The what IS is that it's all-square and it's sudden death.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Dave, the Australian territory of Christmas Island is in which ocean?
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Nice one. Once again, I don't have a clue.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Is there an Australian Ocean?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I don't know.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- I'll go Australian Ocean. - Australian Ocean?- If it exists.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Well, no, not really.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56- No, it's not. Kevin? - It's in the Indian.- The Indian Ocean.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58OK.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Another chance, then,
0:22:00 > 0:22:05to take the round, Kevin. According to 2012 figures from the US Census Bureau,
0:22:05 > 0:22:11the four American cities with a population estimated to be over 2 million people are New York,
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Los Angeles, Chicago and which other?
0:22:15 > 0:22:22- Of course, you've given me the three...- That you would get! There's a lot of others to consider.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Yes, there are a few. Lots of cities.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Well, if it's still in that position,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33I think the fourth-largest city in the States was Houston.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36So I'll have to go with Houston.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Houston, Texas?- Yeah. - It's the right answer! Yes, Kevin.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- What's the fifth?- San Diego would be well up there.- That's not it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Philadelphia?- Yeah, Philadelphia. With 1.5 million.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52But Houston was the right answer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54You're through. Bad luck, Dave.
0:22:54 > 0:23:01Nearly did it, but not to be again. Please come back and join your teams.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07So this is what we've been playing towards? It's the final round, as always on general knowledge.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09But those of you who lost
0:23:09 > 0:23:15won't be allowed to take part. So Matt, Lewis, Dave and Shaun, would you all leave the studio?
0:23:17 > 0:23:22So, Daniel, you're playing to win Mobiles at the Ready £24,000.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28Pat, Judith, Kevin, Dave and Daphne are playing for something money can't buy: the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:28 > 0:23:36As usual, I ask each team three questions. They're all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Daniel, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- Would you like to go first or second?- It hasn't brought us much luck going first,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48but I'm going to go first.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51OK, Daniel.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Get nice and relaxed. The odds are stacked against you,
0:23:55 > 0:24:02but you're a hero, obviously, if you win and if you don't, well, it was one against five.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Just enjoy it. First question.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09What name is given to the substance obtained from a type of beetle,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13once considered an aphrodisiac, but later found to be toxic?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Hm, well, I don't know the answer.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29And I really can't see very much logic in dissecting
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Dutch, French, Spanish.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Spanish Fly rings a bell.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I'm not sure why it does, but it does.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I'll have to go for Spanish fly.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43It's the right answer. Well done.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45There you have it. Eggheads,
0:24:45 > 0:24:51the phrase "No holds barred", meaning without restrictions, is believed to derive from which sport?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Wrestling.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It sounds like wrestling holds.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02You have different holds in table tennis, but wrestling.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07- We think that's wrestling. - Yeah, it is. Correct, Eggheads.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09OK, Daniel.
0:25:09 > 0:25:15Nice start. Keep it going. The word "vitellus" is a Latin name for what?
0:25:22 > 0:25:27Vit...vital. Meaning life, I think.
0:25:29 > 0:25:35I'm not sure about egg yolk. It sort of sounds, "tellus", almost like a story.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40I'm probably going to be wrong, but I'll go for life story.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Tellus - tell us a story. I see.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47It's not the right answer, but I like the reasoning.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Eggheads?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Egg yolk.- It is egg yolk.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54A chance for the lead.
0:25:54 > 0:26:01Stars, bullets and arrows are symbols known in typography as what?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08The only one I've heard of in typography is dingbats.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I don't know if that's it.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- That could have led on to the game.- Yeah.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Dingbats is a font, I know that. It's a popular font.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- But stars, bullets and...? - Arrows.- Was it arrows?
0:26:25 > 0:26:31- The game Dingbats uses rebuses and... - Yeah.- ..symbols.- Yes, it does.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- There is a font called Dingbats. - Dingbats, yeah.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- I don't know. - OK, I can see that working.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43We don't know this, but there is a font called Dingbats,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46so we're going to go with dingbats.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- OK, dingbats, you think. It is correct.- Well done, Pat.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Daniel, you need to get this.
0:26:52 > 0:27:00The words to the carol While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks are attributed to which Poet Laureate?
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Hmm.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12I'm going to come clean and say not only do I not know the answer,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16I'm not sure I've heard of any of those guys.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21So I guess I'm going to have to take a stab at it.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Thomas Shadwell sounds like a nice name that a writer might have.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30I'll go for Thomas Shadwell.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35As you're admitting there, a pure guess. No idea whatsoever.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Thomas Shadwell. Is it, Eggheads?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Nahum Tate.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45It's Nahum Tate, which means... Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:57As I said before we started, no honour lost in one of you against five of them.
0:27:57 > 0:28:03- They just weren't to your liking. - No.- You had to have a few guesses and didn't land them.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Bad luck and thanks for taking on the Eggheads, Mobiles at the Ready.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11And without using your mobiles!
0:28:11 > 0:28:16But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally. You won't go home with £24,000.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19That rolls over to the next show.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:30Join us next time to see if a new team can defeat the Eggheads. £25,000 says they don't.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Until then, goodbye.
