0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11'Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15'arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'The question is, can they be beaten?'
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37And taking on our quiz champions today are Two And A Half Tandems.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team all know one another through their association
0:00:40 > 0:00:44with Life Cycle, that's a cycling charity based in Bristol.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Ed, I'm 25
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and I'm a fundraising and marketing officer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Trudi, I'm 43 and I'm a cycle instructor and volunteer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I'm David, I'm 55, I'm a professor of health services research.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Heather, I'm 39 and I'm an inclusive cycling coordinator.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Bob, I'm 46 and I'm an actuary.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Welcome, Two And A Half Tandems. That must've taken a bit of thought
0:01:09 > 0:01:11with five of you. Tell me about Life Cycle.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15It sounds a very, very good project. Tell us what it does.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We're a small Bristol-based charity which promotes cycling
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and we do quite a few different things to do that.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26We work in schools, training kids in what used to be cycling proficiency,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28it's now bikeability.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And we train any adults who feel a bit wobbly on the bike, as well,
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- so any Eggheads are very welcome to come to a lesson.- Do you do tandems?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Yes, absolutely.- OK. They'd be better off with one of them.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43And as well as that, we do what we call some inclusive cycling projects,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45so working with people who maybe can't ride a normal bike.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50So we have a youth project for people in disadvantaged areas of Bristol
0:01:50 > 0:01:53who perhaps can't afford their own bike.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We have a tandem project called Two's Company.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It's aimed at mostly blind and visually-impaired people
0:01:59 > 0:02:03who can't ride on their own, and we have a team of sighted volunteers
0:02:03 > 0:02:07who give up their weekends for free and ride at the front,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10so it gives people the chance to go for a day out or a weekend away
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- to come out cycling. - Sounds brilliant!
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Best of luck to you and best of luck in this game against the Eggheads.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26the prize money rolls over to the next show. Two And A Half Tandems,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29the Eggheads have won the last 25 games,
0:02:29 > 0:02:34which means £26,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Well, I always say when we reach this level,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39it's a good thing and a bad thing. You're playing for a decent amount,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43but it means they've been unbeaten for five weeks,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45so they're really going strong.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Right, our first head-to-head battle is going to be on History.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52And who'd like to start us off with History?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- That's me, I think. - That would be you, David.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- That's my subject.- Oh, good. OK, David. And choose any Egghead.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Well, partly because he's got a name similar to mine,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and also because he's one of the newer Eggheads, I'll pick Dave.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Dave, I'd like to do History with you, please.- Not a problem at all.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12OK, let's have Dave and David into the question room, please.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17That means you can't confer with your teammates. Head there now.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20David, choose for me,
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first please, Dermot.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30OK, first question, and good luck.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Who was on the British throne at the time of the French revolution?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Ah, that's an easy one for me. It was George III.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43OK. Well, I'll tell you straight away, that is correct,
0:03:43 > 0:03:49- but why was it easy for you? - My son has got a History of Britain
0:03:49 > 0:03:51which I borrowed and I've been reading it for the last few days
0:03:51 > 0:03:54because I thought I'd better make sure that I had the dates
0:03:54 > 0:03:56of all the kings and queens and prime ministers,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58so I did a bit of cribbing on this one.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Ah! Very good!- It's very good to hear that he's read
0:04:01 > 0:04:04all of history. That really put me in a confident mood, yeah.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06OK, Dave,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10the lands ruled over by Attila the Hun were mainly on which continent?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Er, Europe.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Yeah, let's not mess around here. That's obviously the right answer.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21David, how many parish churches were destroyed
0:04:21 > 0:04:23by the Great Fire of London?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Ah, now, I've no specific knowledge on this,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32but it was quite extensive,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34so I think I can rule out 17.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38So I'm going to have to choose between 37 and 87.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40That's quite a wide range.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Oh. I'm going to... Because the fire was so massive,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I'm going to go for 87.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Because the fire was so massive, 87. Big jump from 37.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53But it's the right answer. Well done, David.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59OK, Dave, who hosted the so-called Ballet of Chestnuts,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02a licentious feast held in 1501?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10It sounds like a Borgia to me. Erm...
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Yeah, I'm going to rule out Michelangelo and Machiavelli.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- I'll go with Cesare Borgia.- OK.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- The Borgias, you think, Cesare Borgia.- Yep.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- One of Barry's ancestors, I would suspect.- Yeah.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26It is the right answer, yes, well done, Dave.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Well, you're both going really well here.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Let's see how you do with this, David. Which head of state
0:05:31 > 0:05:35gave the political activist Sylvia Pankhurst a state funeral
0:05:35 > 0:05:37on her death in 1960?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Erm...
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I think it's very unlikely that it was Khrushchev
0:05:48 > 0:05:51and I can't think why Queen Juliana would've done it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56I know that Sylvia Pankhurst had a great interest in development issues
0:05:56 > 0:05:59and I think she was associated with Ethiopia,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01so I'm going to go for Haile Selassie.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Wow, I thought you might have struggled with that,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06but it is the correct answer, yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10OK, well, pressure on you, then, Dave.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12When completed in 1884,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16the Washington Monument overtook the cathedral in which city
0:06:16 > 0:06:18as the tallest structure in the world?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I'd have to go Cologne on that answer.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27On the basis that I think Cologne Cathedral's quite a tall one.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- I'll go Cologne.- OK, Cologne. You are correct. Well done, Dave.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Well, we have two very good quizzers here
0:06:36 > 0:06:39and we have gone to sudden death. Just to remind you,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43I know you understand the rules, but the choices now have gone
0:06:43 > 0:06:46until we sort out a winner. Just got to hear the answer from you,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48no list to look at. Here's the question.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50A note reading, "You can have his body,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53"but his heart belongs in Africa"
0:06:53 > 0:06:57was left on the body of which explorer when he died in 1873?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I don't know the answer to this.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Erm, I will just go with one of the explorers I know, David Livingstone?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08He has to guess in sudden death, and so good a player,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12he's got it right! Well done, David. Yep.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Dr Livingstone.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Dave, on the back foot here.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Which 19th century prime minister
0:07:20 > 0:07:22carried on a 30-year friendship
0:07:22 > 0:07:26with the courtesan turned preacher Laura Thistlethwayte?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Preacher...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I've got to think of that.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36I will have to go, and I'm probably going out, with Benjamin Disraeli.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42OK, Disraeli, friendship with a courtesan turned preacher.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- It's the other one, Dave.- Gladstone? - It's William Gladstone.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- OK.- Which means you are going out. - Yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- And to a very good player. - He deserved to win.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55David, congratulations, you're through to the final round.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Both please come back and join your teams.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Well, David survived with his spokes intact there
0:08:03 > 0:08:06and sailed through that round. The Eggheads have lost one brain
0:08:06 > 0:08:10from the final round. And we move on to our second head-to-head.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13This one's Arts & Books.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Yours.- OK, Heather, you stay with us while you choose an Egghead, please.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Erm, can I play with Chris, please? - Yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- You've decided this well in advance, haven't you?- Just earlier on today.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Ah! OK, let's have Heather and Chris into the question room, please.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Heather, you might help your team win
0:08:33 > 0:08:36an awful lot of money if you get through this round against Chris.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46OK, good luck, Heather, it's Arts & Books. First question.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Which of these words is used to refer to
0:08:48 > 0:08:51a list of the genuine recognised works by an author?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57It's a canon, Dermot.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Yes, it is. Canon. - THEY CLAP
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Chris, which Stephen King novel is set
0:09:04 > 0:09:06in Cold Mountain State Penitentiary?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Well, it's not Salem's Lot, cos that's a supernatural thing.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Misery is Kathy Bates breaking somebody's legs.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19So it's got to be The Green Mile.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I love your synopses of these novels and films.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26It's just one line, really, isn't it? Shorter than Twitter.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Green Mile is correct. Well done, Chris.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Heather, painted in the 1630s,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Self Portrait With A Sunflower is by which artist?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I really don't know this. I think my era of art is more 20th century.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49I think... I think it might... I've got some recollection of Rubens
0:09:49 > 0:09:51being around at that kind of time.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53And with only that to go on,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- I'm going to go with Peter Paul Rubens.- OK.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Peter Paul Rubens for Self Portrait With A Sunflower.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- It's not, Heather.- Oh.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Chris, do you know? - It's Anthony van Dyck, isn't it?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08It is. We don't pass it over, that was just out of interest.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Your second question, Chris. What is the real title of
0:10:12 > 0:10:15the Velazquez painting known as The Rokeby Venus?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Well, that's the original meaning of toilet.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24It's The Toilet Of Venus.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Yes, we've got little boys around the country having a little giggle
0:10:28 > 0:10:32right now. The Toilet Of Venus is correct.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36OK, Heather, Winifred Holtby's novel South Riding
0:10:36 > 0:10:39is set during which period of British history?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Erm, I vaguely studied this, so I should know it,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49but I'm not sure that's going to lead me to the right answer.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I don't think it's the Civil War
0:10:52 > 0:10:56or the Depression. I think it's around the Regency time,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and this is a bit of a guess. I'm going to go with the Regency.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03OK, bit of a guess. Winifred Holtby's novel South Riding
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- is set during the Depression! - Oh, sorry.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09That means the round's over.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm sorry about that. I'm saying sorry to you now,
0:11:11 > 0:11:16cos Chris already has two and you obviously can't match that.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18So bad luck, Heather. You won't be in the final round.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Team still going well, though. Come back and join your teams.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Well, as it stands, it's all square.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Our next subject is Music. Who'd like to play this?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Well, shall I have a whirl? - Go for it.- OK, I'll have a bash.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Captain will stand. - Captain standing up there
0:11:39 > 0:11:42and taking responsibility. And, Ed, who would you like to play?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Dave and Chris have played, so you can play Barry, Daphne or Kevin.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Take Kevin. If you're lucky, you can take Kevin out.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51HE LAUGHS OK, yeah, we'll go for Kevin.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54That's all very well coming from you, David,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56having got through already!
0:11:56 > 0:12:00"Oh, just take Kevin out. It's simple."
0:12:00 > 0:12:04All right, let's have Ed and Kevin into the question room, please.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- Ed, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, thanks.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16OK, Ed, first question coming up.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Mordred and Lancelot are characters in which musical?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Er, well, I hope it's not a trick question,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28but I'll go Camelot.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Camelot. Yes, Mordred and Lancelot, obviously. Yes, it's right.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Well done. And Kevin.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39What nationality was the conductor Arturo Toscanini?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Well, I don't think there's any trick to it.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48With a name like that, I think he was Italian.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50So although his career may have been all over the place,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- I think he was Italian.- OK.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Even with questions that appear easy, you always double check.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Yeah, you've got it. Italian. OK, Ed.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04What is the title of the Ohio Express song
0:13:04 > 0:13:08that was a top-five hit in the UK in 1968?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Do you recognise any of those? - Well, I don't recognise them.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18From the way you were saying the question,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I'd rule out Spicy Spicy Spicy since you had a bit of a mouthful
0:13:21 > 0:13:25and hopefully they would've, as well. So based on that flawless logic,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27erm...
0:13:28 > 0:13:31..I'd go for Yummy Yummy Yummy, I think.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35I've got love in my tummy. What a great line.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's the right answer! Well done, Ed.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43And Kevin, who sang Body And Soul
0:13:43 > 0:13:46with Tony Bennett on his album Duets II?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Mm, I don't know. Cos the Duets albums that he's done,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58they've both been done in the last few years,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and he's collaborated on them with a whole range of people,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04so unless you've actually listened to the album
0:14:04 > 0:14:07or read the track listing, it's very tricky to say who did what.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I've got to try one of them, obviously, and I know...
0:14:12 > 0:14:15..for sure, I think, that Amy Winehouse was on one of those,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18so I'll have to go with Amy Winehouse.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Yeah, and he was interviewed quite a lot at the time of her death.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25It is Amy Winehouse. Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Body And Soul.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Well, you're going well, Ed. Try and keep it up.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Which British singer-songwriter
0:14:32 > 0:14:35released the album For The Stars
0:14:35 > 0:14:38with the opera singer Anne Sofie von Otter?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Hm. Er... Tricky one.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I think possibly I'd rule out Sting. I'm not sure why.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Erm...
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Out of the remaining two...
0:14:58 > 0:15:01..I'd like to think that maybe it was Elvis Costello.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- OK, you'd like to think?- Yeah, I think I'd listen to it if it was.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Not sure if it was Phil Collins.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Well, you can go and get it, because it exists. It's the right answer.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Whoa! - THEY CLAP
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Elvis Costello.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well, your wish came true. Will your other wish,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20to get through, come true? If Kevin gets this wrong, it will.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23The ballet The Creatures Of Prometheus,
0:15:23 > 0:15:27first performed in 1801, has music by which composer?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I think it's the only time he did any ballet music,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35but I may be wrong. It's Beethoven.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Yes, it is. He knows that. Beethoven is correct
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and into sudden death.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Right, Ed, it's going to get a bit harder, but you've coped well there
0:15:44 > 0:15:46in the first three. Here you go.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Who composed the Crown Of India Suite
0:15:49 > 0:15:52containing the March of the Mughal Emperors?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Erm...
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I think I'll go for Elgar, Edward Elgar.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It's correct!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05THEY CLAP
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well done, Ed! OK, Kevin,
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Can't Say No was the 2012 debut single by which British teenager?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Desperately trying to recall it. I know I've seen this title,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24but I can't...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Erm... Nothing's coming.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I'm going to have to fall on my sword, Dermot.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- I can't think of a single name. - All right, that's a pass.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Any Egghead know? - Is it Conor Maynard?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Daphne has it. It's Conor Maynard.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47- Ah. OK.- Conor Maynard, who won MTV's Brand New For 2012 Award.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Conor Maynard. But, well, that's as may be.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54The headliner is that Ed has beaten Kevin
0:16:54 > 0:16:57and is through to the final round! Well done, Ed!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00THEY CLAP
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And Ed, you went in there like a tethered goat waiting to be devoured
0:17:03 > 0:17:07by the quiz tiger that is Kevin and look what's happened!
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Out you come triumphant. Please come back and join your teams.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16The Eggheads taking some mighty blows. They've now lost two brains
0:17:16 > 0:17:19from the final round. Daphne still smiling, though.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I wonder what she's thinking. And Two And A Half Tandems
0:17:23 > 0:17:25down to just the two tandems, so not doing too bad.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Our last subject before the final round is Sport.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31And you've got two players left, Trudi or Bob?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Well, that's the one we were saving Ed for.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Well, yeah. He did pretty well, though, on Music.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42He did very well. Those that know me know I know very little about sport
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- but that's going to be me, I'm afraid.- OK.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48And the remaining players on the Eggheads' side are Daphne or Barry.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- I think it has to be Daphne.- OK.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56I'll ask her right now. Are you thinking you could be in trouble?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- I couldn't possibly comment. - Ah, you see!
0:18:00 > 0:18:04OK, let's have Bob and Daphne into the question room, please.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Well, Bob, you say you're not really that good at sport.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12We heard that from Ed about music, so I'm not sure I believe you.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22All right, good luck and first question is this.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25NN12 8TN
0:18:25 > 0:18:28is the postcode of which sporting venue?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Well, NN I think is Northampton,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- which would make it Silverstone.- OK.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41You know nothing about sport. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Good start, Bob. In pole position.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50Daphne, in which year did WG Grace first play test cricket for England?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57He played in 1880.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Was it a good match, Chris?- So-so, yes. He had a decent knock, yeah.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Mind you, he cheated like mad, but he always did.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09I knew you were there. It is the right answer, yes, 1880.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13OK, Bob, in 2012,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Jeev Milkha Singh won which golf tournament,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18traditionally held the week before the Open?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Could be any of those. Erm...
0:19:25 > 0:19:30I don't think it's Scottish. And I've not heard of Welsh.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- So I'm going to say Irish Open. - OK, the Irish Open.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- No, it's not. Daphne?- Scottish. - It is the Scottish Open.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40OK, this is your question, Daphne.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Who became BBC Radio 5 Live's tennis correspondent in 2004?
0:19:49 > 0:19:54It would help if I listened to the radio, which I don't.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Erm... Gosh.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Jonathan Overend cos I like his name.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It's right. I like his name, too.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Well, that's a reason, and you'd like his commentary if you listened.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10It's the right answer, Jonathan Overend.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I'm sorry.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15All right. And it means you need to get this, then, Bob.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- OK.- The Brazilian football club Corinthians
0:20:18 > 0:20:23plays a match called the Paulista Derby against which club?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Well, they could all be Brazilian or South American.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Erm, I'm just going to go for Palmerias.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- It's the right answer! Well done! - THEY CLAP
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Well, keeps you in it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43But Daphne has an attempt here to win the round.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Steve Ovett's brother Nick
0:20:46 > 0:20:49represented Great Britain at the Winter Olympics at which event?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55No, don't know it. Erm...
0:20:57 > 0:21:00You would think, wouldn't you, that, erm...
0:21:02 > 0:21:05..it's probably speed skating.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Erm...
0:21:08 > 0:21:11But I'm going to go for luge.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Which is the right answer, well done, Daphne.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Ooh!- Well done! You've got it! Which means it's going to be all square
0:21:18 > 0:21:21in that crucial final. Sorry, Bob.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24No place for you. Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28And so, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32It's time for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:34 > 0:21:37won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39so Heather and Bob from Two And A Half Tandems
0:21:39 > 0:21:42and Kevin and Dave from the Eggheads,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44time to leave the studio, please.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48So, Ed, Trudi and David, you are playing to win
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Two And A Half Tandems £26,000.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54And Daphne, Chris and Barry, you're playing for something
0:21:54 > 0:21:57which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:22:02 > 0:22:06and you are allowed to confer in this, the final round.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09So, Two And A Half Tandems, the question is, are your three brains
0:22:09 > 0:22:12better than the Eggheads' three? And Two And A Half Tandems,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16your choice, as always, do you want to go first or second?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Erm, we'd like to go first please, Dermot.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Well, good luck and your first question is this.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Airforce and powder are shades of which colour?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Blue, I think. - Powder blue, airforce blue, yeah.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Possibly. - I think it must be blue.- Yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Well... yeah.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Yeah, powder blue.- Powder blue, yeah.- Yeah, blue sounds good.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46We're going to go with blue.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Blue. Powder blue, airforce blue,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51about the only colour that isn't on David's shirt there!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It is the right answer! Well done.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00Eggheads, what type of creature is a hartebeest, native to Africa?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- It's always an antelope. - Related to the wildebeest.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09In accordance with one of the well-established Eggheads rules,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11it's always an antelope.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14OK, it's always an antelope. It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Back to Two And A Half Tandems.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21An image of what type of weapon features on the flag of Mozambique?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- Got any ideas? - They had a long border war
0:23:30 > 0:23:32with the apartheid regime in South Africa
0:23:32 > 0:23:35and Kalashnikovs were used quite a lot.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I can't think it would be a hand grenade.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41There would be no logic in that. You might think a machete, but...
0:23:41 > 0:23:46- You think...- Machete is more the equatorial parts of Africa,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49so my feeling would be Kalashnikov. What do you think?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Hm. I wouldn't have thought hand grenade.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I would tend to go with that, as well, so... Yeah?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Yeah, go for it. - Is that what we're going for?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- We're going to go for Kalashnikov. - OK, Kalashnikov
0:24:02 > 0:24:04on the flag of Mozambique.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08It's the right answer! Well done David there.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11OK, Eggheads, your second question.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Which Radio Four topical comedy show,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17presented by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19was first heard in 1998?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Stop The Week, I think.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I don't know. I don't listen to the radio.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Have you any idea?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Yeah, I'd say Stop The Week,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I've been in the audience for this a couple of times
0:24:36 > 0:24:39at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club. Yeah, I think it's Stop The Week,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43You're the only one who's got any idea, so we'll have to go with that.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I'll go with Stop The Week and if it's wrong, mea culpa.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Well, there's only Chris who has any idea on this one,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53cos Daphne and I haven't anything to bring to mind,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56so we're going to go with Stop The Week.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58OK, Stop The Week, Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00first heard in 1998.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Daphne, that's the second time in a question you've said,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- "I don't listen to the radio." - Yes, I don't.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Well, first time round, you got it.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10This time, you haven't. It's incorrect.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13It is The Now Show.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Which turns this next question...
0:25:17 > 0:25:22It's rather an important one. Let's not ratchet up the importance.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I'll just mention, £26,000!
0:25:26 > 0:25:29One question for 26 grand. Right!
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Get this, you've got the money, you've beaten the Eggheads.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37In which film did Edward Woodward play an Australian soldier
0:25:37 > 0:25:40court-martialled during the Boer War?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Well, it wasn't Walkabout.- No, I don't think it was that one, either.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- I haven't seen any of the others. - I know who Edward Woodward is.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Have you seen The Getting Of Wisdom? - No.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- I haven't seen either. - I've got a sneaking feeling
0:25:57 > 0:26:00it might be Breaker Morant.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- A sneaking feeling is good.- Well... - It's better than nothing, isn't it?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Does anybody have any memory of... - No.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I'm afraid haven't seen those films.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Well, shall we go for that, then?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- OK.- For me, it's a 50/50.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16And I don't really have anything to go on.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Shall we go with your hunch? - Yeah.- It's a small hunch
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- but it's better than our nothing, isn't it?- OK.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25OK, Dermot, we're not sure, to be honest,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28but we're going to try for Breaker Morant.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32OK, Breaker Morant. Put it down to the 50/50,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35so more or less a toss of the coin for £26,000.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40It's the right answer, you've won!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49That's amazing!
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I heard Ed saying there, "David, you star!"
0:26:51 > 0:26:55and yes, indeed, I think David played a major role
0:26:55 > 0:26:58in that final round and, indeed, stormed through his head-to-head
0:26:58 > 0:27:03against Dave on History. But you all played your part, of course.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Ed, well, who knows? Would Kevin have known The Now Show?
0:27:07 > 0:27:11He did! So, you know, again, illustrating to all teams
0:27:11 > 0:27:14who are yet to play the Eggheads the importance of those head-to-heads.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17That was a critical victory, Ed, taking Kevin out.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19You'd at least still be playing here
0:27:19 > 0:27:21because it would've gone to sudden death.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24And Heather and Bob elated there in the background.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Unlucky in their head-to-heads. £26,000.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Any idea what you're going to do with it?- Erm...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32You don't have to decide now.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Some will certainly make its way to Life Cycle.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I'm donating mine to Life Cycle cos I'm a trustee of the charity
0:27:38 > 0:27:40and I did the whole thing to support the charity,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- so mine will go straight to Life Cycle.- OK.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I think it's a very worthy cause that that money will be going to
0:27:46 > 0:27:49and very generous gesture from you, David.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53But £26,000. The Eggheads' scalp, as well. As I said in the introduction,
0:27:53 > 0:27:57how well they've been playing for the last month and beyond,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59and there they are. See, Daphne, I had an inkling, didn't I?
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- Yes.- Maybe I put the hex on you.- Yes! - I said you could be in trouble.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Well, congratulations once again, Two And A Half Tandems.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10You've won £26,000. You are officially
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- cleverer than the Eggheads. - Yeah!- You are.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17And Two And A Half Tandems have proven that it can be done.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19The Eggheads can be beaten.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:22 > 0:28:26will be just as successful. Until then, goodbye.
