0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 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?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain,
0:00:30 > 0:00:32they are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are Cowane Compendium. Now, this team of colleagues all work
0:00:38 > 0:00:42in the adult learning department within Stirling's local government.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Hi, my name's Ed, I'm 43 and I'm a team leader.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Linda, I'm 56 and I'm an evening course coordinator.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 47 and I'm an adult literacy tutor.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Ruth, I'm 45 and I'm a community worker.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Duncan, I'm 35 and I'm a literacy specialist.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Welcome to you, Cowane Compendium.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Now, the compendium bit of your team name, what's that referring to, Ed?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Well, we all play different roles in the team.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We've been working together for quite a good number of years now
0:01:18 > 0:01:20and we thought it was a good idea,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23a different mix of different staff, you know,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26like the games you used to get at Christmas time
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- mixed up with all the games, so different staff...- I see.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31..you know, different games, Cowane Compendium.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34OK, open the box and a range of different games in there.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36And just tell me a little bit about the Cowane Centre.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I mean, what kind of range of courses do you offer?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Well, we provide a range of learning opportunities for adults.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43It starts with literacy and numeracy,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47we've got ICT opportunities, arts and craft, drama, Gaelic,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50you name it, a whole range of different opportunities.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53You know, with the aim of people coming along to develop their skills
0:01:53 > 0:01:55and really make significant changes in their lives,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58to improve their chances of employment,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00feel more confident to help their children with their learning.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04a whole range, even moving into college or further education.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06More power to your elbow, so to speak on that,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10and plenty of power to you against the Eggheads today, Cowane Compendium.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21So, Cowane Compendium, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24that means £2,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29And our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Who'd like to start off with this one from the Cowane Compendium?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- We don't want Science.- No. - But we've got it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Am I the sacrificial lamb?- I think you might be. You go first.- Yes.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I'm the sacrificial lamb.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Yes, OK, I will sacrifice myself for the team there.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, Ruth, it's not going to happen. I have a good feeling.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Pick an Egghead, see who you think you might beat.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I can see Daphne smiling so sweetly.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53THEY LAUGH
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Daphne.- Daphne?- Go Daphne.- Go Daphne. - OK.
0:02:56 > 0:03:02- Daphne.- Daphne...- Daphne, because of that lovely sweet smile.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Mmm. Might all change when you get to the Question Room, please,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08which is where you have to go as you know because you mustn't
0:03:08 > 0:03:10be allowed to confer with your team-mates.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So, off to the Question Room, please, that's Ruth and Daphne.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16OK, Ruth, not a lot of confidence exhibited there
0:03:16 > 0:03:19before you went into the Question Room, but I confidently predict
0:03:19 > 0:03:21you'll do better than you expect.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24So, let's see, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Can I go first, please?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Right, best of luck, Ruth
0:03:30 > 0:03:33and let's kick you off with this question then,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36which of these three planets is furthest from the sun?
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Right. I remember the mnemonic that goes with this,
0:03:44 > 0:03:48so most violent, Venus,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51earthquake, Mars, so it must be Mars.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- LAUGHS - OK, does it go on? Do you, er..?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Mars, junior, scripture, unions, nice, picnic.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Oh, I see, right, putting the planets in there,
0:04:01 > 0:04:02- thank you very much.- Oh, yes...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'm sure the Eggheads all know that. Yes, it's Mars,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07that is correct, well done.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10In mathematics, Daphne, in mathematics,
0:04:10 > 0:04:16the area of a circle is calculated by multiplying pi by what?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- LAUGHS - I'm just about to show my complete ignorance.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Um...
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Circumference of a..?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31My mind's gone blank.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Radius?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Yes, guessing, Daphne, are you?- I'm trying to remember.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46Yes, it's the right answer, yes. OK, second question, Ruth.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51What type of fruit is obtained from the tree Prunus Psoriasis?
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Well, I don't think it's a coconut and...
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Because of how it sounds, it sounds as though it's slightly citrus.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07So, I'll go with cranberry.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10OK, cranberry. Not coconut?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12No, not coconut, but it is cherry.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Oh, dear.- Cherry, you were heading in the right direction
0:05:15 > 0:05:17but just didn't get there.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20OK then, Daphne, see how you do with your second question.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22A cartilaginous fish is so-called
0:05:22 > 0:05:27because what aspect of its body is primarily made of cartilage?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33That's the skeleton, like a shark.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38OK, that is correct, so you have the lead and Ruth, you need to get this.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40The Oxfordian,
0:05:40 > 0:05:45the Jocian and Sinemurian are stages in which geological period?
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Well, I can't ever have heard mentioned on Jurassic Park,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57not that that really helps at all because, er...
0:05:57 > 0:06:01I'm not sure if that was totally accurate about things like that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Um... Cretaceous?
0:06:04 > 0:06:09It could be that, but I'm going to go for Triassic.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- OK, Triassic. - I will try Triassic.- Try Triassic.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14OK, I am ending the round here,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17because it's the incorrect answer, Ruth.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19It is Jurassic, it is Jurassic
0:06:19 > 0:06:22out of Oxfordian, Jocian and Sinemurian,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24which means that Daphne's taken the round,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26so no place for you, Ruth.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Well, as it stands after that, the Cowane Compendium
0:06:32 > 0:06:34have lost one of the games.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Ruth won't be eligible for the final round,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39the Eggheads are all still there, but only one round gone.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Let's get another one out here, out of the box for you
0:06:42 > 0:06:44and this is Film And Television.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Might be better suited to you, I don't know.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Who fancies playing this?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Do you want to try Film And Television?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51- Yes, I think you should.- Ooh.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Good stuff, good for you. - Ladies first.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Ah-ha. Yes.- Well said. - It's going to be you then, Linda?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- It's me, yes. - And choose an Egghead.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Just remember, you can't pick Daphne, any of the other four.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I do not think Chris goes to the movies much, I could be wrong,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08but I don't think he's, I don't think he's the film buff.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12This is the problem, neither am I! SHE LAUGHS
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- What about Judith?- Yes.- Try Judith?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Judith.- Judith.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Chris.- Oh...- Oh...- Oh, hold on, where did that come from?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22So it was Judith, Judith, Judith, they all said and you went,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- well, it's your choice, you're playing it.- Chris, please.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Because you originally were asking whether he goes to the movies,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32goes to the films much. Do you see many films in the cinema, Chris?
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Mmm...
0:07:33 > 0:07:37I think the last film I went to the cinema to see was Blazing Saddles.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- About '75?- '75, '76, yes.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42OK, well let's put it to the test,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Linda and Chris into the Question Room, please.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Linda, we're hoping for some modern film questions for Chris, are we?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52You get to choose then.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Do you want the first set or the second set of questions?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Could I have the first set, please?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Of course you can, let's start then. First question is this,
0:08:02 > 0:08:06ah-ha, which character is played by Anne Hathaway
0:08:06 > 0:08:09in the 2012 film, The Dark Knight Rises?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11It seems like YOU got the modern stuff to start.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21I'm going, I can see two, I'm going for either Wonder Woman or Catwoman.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Um...
0:08:24 > 0:08:25I'm going to go with Catwoman.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Catwoman, yes, it's right, well done.- Thank you.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- APPLAUSE - Well done.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32And so to Chris.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37How are the actor David Suchet and the newsreader John Suchet related?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41They are brothers, Dermot.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Yes, they are, and John's a former colleague of mine.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47There we are. Brothers is correct.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Linda, here you go. Well, it's another film question.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Which of these Tom Cruise films
0:08:53 > 0:08:56took the most money at the worldwide box office?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Um...
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Rain Man's quite an old film now.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Um, perhaps, you know, I don't know if it made as much money at the time.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm going to go with A Few Good Men.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18OK, A Few Good Men.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I suppose the problem with Tom Cruise is all his films
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- seem to make so much money, don't they?- Yes.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- Um, of those three films, it's Rain Man.- Oh, right.- It's Rain Man, yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Um, very, very popular worldwide. So, Chris, a chance for the lead.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Which actor starred in the films Downhill Racer,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Indecent Proposal and Brubaker?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Er, not Dustin Hoffman.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Was it Robert Redford? Was it Paul Newman?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Brubaker, I think, was Robert Redford, so that's who I'll go with.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Yes, it's the right answer.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55So, you have that lead. You need this, Linda.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Who played DCI Tony Gates in the 2012 TV drama, Line Of Duty?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08It's not something I've seen at all
0:10:08 > 0:10:12and I don't even recognise any of the three actors.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Um, so it's a guess.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I'm going to go with David Harewood.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22All right, David Harewood for DCI Tony Gates.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Didn't see it, so you're admitting a pure guess
0:10:24 > 0:10:27and the answer is Lennie James.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Bad luck, Linda. These questions didn't fall for you.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33It means you're not going to be in the final round. Chris is.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42Two outings and so far, two exits for Cowane Compendium.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45The Eggheads are all there but two more head-to-heads before the final round,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47so not even halfway yet.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Let's play our next subject and this one is Politics.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Who'd like to play this?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54THEY CONFER
0:10:54 > 0:10:57It's either you, or it's either... Do you want to go for Duncan?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Duncan.- Duncan, would you do Politics?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Yes, I think you should. - I could have a go.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04THEY LAUGH
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Yes, go for it.- On you go. - Yes, go for it.- We...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- OK. I'll go for it.- All right, Duncan, you're playing.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Chris and Daphne have played over here from the Eggheads
0:11:12 > 0:11:15so we can go down the line to Barry, Pat or Judith?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Judith.- Judith.- Judith.- Definitely Judith.- We'll go with Judith.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20OK, definitely Judith.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Let's have Duncan and Judith into the Question Room then, please.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Now, do you want to start or do you want the Egghead to start
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- and that of course is Judith? - Can I start, please?
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Here you go, first question.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Which of these men was Prime Minister of the UK
0:11:38 > 0:11:39for the longest time?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Tony Blair.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Tony Blair, you're right.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49So, it is over to you, Judith.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52What was David Cameron's combined ministerial
0:11:52 > 0:11:55and Parliamentary salary in 2011?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Well, I thought the Prime Minister was paid about £140,000.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Um, and an MP is paid about £60,000 basic, aren't they?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17None of which adds up to the right, any of those figures, really.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21But I have a feeling he might have taken a pay cut.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25I have a feeling, I think it's 142.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- The first one.- OK, £142,500. - Yes. Yes.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31It is the right answer, well done, Judith.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34£142,500 for the Prime Minister.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36OK, second question for each of you. Duncan,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39which part of the Palace of Westminster
0:12:39 > 0:12:42was renamed in 2012 in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I really don't know this.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I always thought the Clock Tower was Big Ben, so,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I can't imagine renaming that. But, um...
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Members' Terrace, possibly. Central Lobby?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Um, I think maybe the Central Lobby.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05OK, the Central Lobby. The Palace of Westminster
0:13:05 > 0:13:08named in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11it's not, Duncan, it's incorrect.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- It is the Clock Tower.- Oh.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Now officially the Elizabeth Tower.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19OK, Judith, which actress was John Hinckley trying to impress
0:13:19 > 0:13:22when he shot Ronald Reagan in 1981?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I think that was Jodie Foster.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32OK, Jodie Foster is the correct answer.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Well done, Judith, you have a lead. And you need to get this, Duncan.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Camille Gutt, G-U-T-T, who became the first managing director
0:13:41 > 0:13:44of the International monetary Fund in 1946,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46was born in which country?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Well, this is going to be a bit of a guess.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Obviously, when you see Switzerland you think of banks and bankers,
0:13:55 > 0:13:59but then because of the International Monetary Fund, possibly,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01you know, Brussels, Belgium,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04so I'm going to go with Belgium.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Good man, it is the right answer.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08APPLAUSE
0:14:08 > 0:14:12But you have to sit back and hope Judith doesn't get this.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Judith, who took up the post of Black Rod in February, 2011?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23This has completely passed me by.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Um, I'm just trying to let something float up.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33I'm floating up, maybe wrongly, it's Michael Wilcox.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- OK, going for Michael Wilcox.- Mmm.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40- Any other Eggheads agree? Michael Wilcox?- Yes.- No, David Leakey.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Oh, I would've said...- David Leakey, that would've been interesting
0:14:43 > 0:14:46if that was a final-round question. Great news for you, Duncan.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Well, for the first time in these contests we go to Sudden Death
0:14:50 > 0:14:53and just to remind you, we take away those options.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56In the 1960s, Maphilindo
0:14:56 > 0:15:01was a proposed non-political confederation of the Philippines,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Indonesia and which other country?
0:15:04 > 0:15:10It is spelt M-A-P-H-I-L-I-N-D-O.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Would it be Malaysia?
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- Is that your answer?- I think so, because they seem to have taken the
0:15:17 > 0:15:21first couple of letters of each country, so, I'm thinking Malaysia.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Erm, right, so you've got MAPHILINDO - "PHIL" for Philippines,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29"INDO" for Indonesia and the "MA" is Malaysia, it's correct, well done.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Good stuff, Duncan.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37And, Judith, in which decade of the 20th century did the American
0:15:37 > 0:15:41presidents Herbert Hoover and Dwight D Eisenhower die?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Well, Eisenhower was president in the '50s.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I can't remember if Eisenhower died quite quickly after
0:15:50 > 0:15:52he stopped being president...
0:15:53 > 0:15:57..or whether he staggered on into the '60s.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I think I'm going to say...
0:16:00 > 0:16:03'50s. Late '50s.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07OK, we only need the decade, Judith, so '50s covers all that,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09from 0 to 9.
0:16:10 > 0:16:16And, your worst fears have been confirmed, it is the 1960s, and, so,
0:16:16 > 0:16:17well, let's concentrate on Duncan,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- you're into the final round, well done.- Excellent, thanks.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Well, much better, as it stands.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Cowane Compendium have lost two brains,
0:16:29 > 0:16:30but the Eggheads have now lost one.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Will it be all square in the final round, who knows?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Let's play our last head-to-head. This is Sport.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40The two players remaining there are Ed and Ian, who wants to play?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I think Sport will be mine, thanks, Dermot.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45OK, Ed, and, from the Eggheads, remember, Chris, Daphne
0:16:45 > 0:16:48and Judith have played, so you can have Pat or Barry?
0:16:48 > 0:16:49ALL: Pat.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Pat it is.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53OK, it's going to be Ed and Pat in our last head-to-head.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Into the Question Room, please.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Right, well, Ed, an opportunity, as I said before the picking, there, to
0:17:01 > 0:17:03make it all square in the final round.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Do you want to go first or second?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Well, I think this time, Dermot, to be different, I think
0:17:07 > 0:17:08I will go second this time.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Why not? Give it a try, and Pat gets the first set of questions.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Pat, what colour medal did Tom Daley win in the 10 metre men's
0:17:20 > 0:17:22platform event at the 2012 Olympics?
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Well, I think Qiu Bo, he was the Chinese favourite,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32but he ended up with silver.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37David Boudia won the gold, and Tom Daley took the bronze.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Thanks for putting names to all those medals in front of you,
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Pat, we just needed the bronze, that's the right answer, well done.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Ed, which football team won the 2012 European Championships?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Right, well, I know it wasn't Portugal.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59I'm fairly sure it wasn't Italy, either.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02So, I'm going to go with Spain.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Yes, the all-conquering Spanish national team, yes, right answer.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Pat, how many Grand Slam singles titles did the Australian
0:18:13 > 0:18:15tennis player Margaret Court win?
0:18:20 > 0:18:26She was a winning machine, in terms of total Grand Slam titles of any
0:18:26 > 0:18:31sort, she has got the highest tally, I think, chased by Navratilova.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'm not certain, but four must be too low,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36so, although it seems like a huge number, I'll have to go for 24.
0:18:36 > 0:18:4024, OK, I mean, it is an enormous haul, isn't it,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42and it's correct, Pat.
0:18:42 > 0:18:4524 Grand Slam singles titles for Margaret Court.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50OK, Ed, your second question, what is the surname of the rugby union
0:18:50 > 0:18:53playing brothers, Delon and Steffon who,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56in February 2009, became the first brothers to represent
0:18:56 > 0:19:01England in the same match since Rory and Tony Underwood in 1995.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08I'm actually... just listening to their names,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I feel immediately drawn to one answer.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Therefore, I don't think it's Young.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18I'm fairly sure it probably isn't Whiting so,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I'm going to go with Armitage, because
0:19:21 > 0:19:24when I first heard their names, that was where I was drawn first of all.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25I'll say Armitage.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28OK, even without the choices there, that was the instant reaction.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33And it's the right answer, well done. All square again.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Level pegging at two each.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Who is going to take the round?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Pat, your question.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Which basketball team, featuring LeBron James,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43won the 2012 NBA championships?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Well, when LeBron moved to this team from Cleveland it
0:19:50 > 0:19:53was a huge, stage-managed media event.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57There was LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh
0:19:57 > 0:20:00and they all play for the Miami Heat.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03It is the right answer, and a very full one again from Pat. Correct.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06OK, well, Ed, you need this.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Mark Boucher usually performed which
0:20:08 > 0:20:11role in the field for the South African cricket team.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I don't think he's a wicket-keeper.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Let's go for spin bowler, I think...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28yes, spin bowler, we'll try that one.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30OK, spin bowler from Mark Boucher,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33the South African cricketer.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I'm afraid you have dropped the catch.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Oh, never mind, he is a wicket-keeper. Ach, well.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Well, as you heard from Pat,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41you're up against a good player in this category, with
0:20:41 > 0:20:44all those answers on basketball and Olympic diving.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47So, no shame at all in going out 3 - 2,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49but no place for you in the final round.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55And so, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57It is time for the final round, which, as always, is
0:20:57 > 0:20:59General Knowledge,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:01 > 0:21:05won't be allowed to take part in this round, so, Ed, Linda and Ruth from Cowane Compendium
0:21:05 > 0:21:09and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14So, Ian and Duncan, you're playing to win Cowane Compendium £2,000.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you are playing for something which
0:21:17 > 0:21:21money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26This time the questions are all general knowledge,
0:21:26 > 0:21:27we have established that,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29and you are allowed to confer in the final round.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30So, Cowane Compendium,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And, Ian and Duncan, first or second, how do you want to play this?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40We're going to be brave and we will go first.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Good luck to you, Ian and Duncan. First question.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49"Who Dares Wins" is the motto of which military organisation?
0:21:56 > 0:22:01It's also the catch phrase of the Trotters, but I think it is the SAS.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- What do you think?- It sticks in my mind that it is the SAS, definitely.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08We're going to go with SAS.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Because Del Boy is not is not up there? OK.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14That's a good reason.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18It is the right answer, yes, the SAS, of course, "Who Dares Wins."
0:22:18 > 0:22:20OK, Eggheads, Pretty Vacant,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24was a UK top ten single in 1977 for which band?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Sex Pistols.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Pretty Vacant was a UK top ten single in 1977 for which band?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I'm assured by Daphne, who listens to this band assiduously, that it
0:22:36 > 0:22:38is the Sex Pistols.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42She dresses like them, as well, you know.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I mean, behind-the-scenes, obviously, you turn out very nicely
0:22:45 > 0:22:49for Eggheads, but we know what you're like in the morning!
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Those pins, and all those straps and the leather trousers.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55It's something else.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58It's the right answer, of course, the Sex Pistols.
0:22:59 > 0:23:05And, Ian and Duncan, a jib is a sail of what shape?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I think it's probably triangular, is that the thing that swings across?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20That's what I was thinking, the one, yes...
0:23:20 > 0:23:21You watch out for the jib.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I thought that was the name of the bit of wood...
0:23:24 > 0:23:27We have ruled out circular and rectangular,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29and we're going to go with triangular.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32OK, triangular, the jib is a sail of what shape?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Eggheads, do you like the cut of their jib on that one?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It's right, yes!
0:23:36 > 0:23:38It's the right answer, yes, triangular.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41OK, Eggheads, second question for you?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45The name of which fabric also means caterpillar in French?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Happy with chenille?
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Jacquard's a loom.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00Yes, a jacquard is a loom, a brocade is a rich, heavy, embossed fabric,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02but chenille means caterpillar in French.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05OK, it's the right answer, Eggheads, so you have two.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Going well here, Cowane Compendium,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09you've got to keep the pressure up on the Eggheads.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Third question, what is the title of the third opera in Wagner's
0:24:13 > 0:24:14famous Ring cycle?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I know Siegfried is one of them.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I recognise that one, as well.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30But then, I'm wondering, are they all parts?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You know, are they all parts of the cycle? In which case...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38It's up to you, but Siegfried is the one that I'm drawn to.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41That's the only name we have both come out with.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Will we try that?- Right.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46OK, basically, we've not really got a clue,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48but we're going to say Siegfried.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50OK, Siegfried, you haven't got a clue,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53but you have heard of Siegfried, more than the others...
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It is the one name that came to both of us.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58OK, well, all are in the Ring Cycle, of course,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01but it is the right answer, Siegfried. Well worked out.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Well, it's 3 - 2, if it stays like that after the Eggheads have
0:25:04 > 0:25:07had a go at this one, you have beaten them.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Eggheads, John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice And Men,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14takes its title from a line in a work by which writer?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice
0:25:19 > 0:25:23And Men takes its title from a line in a work by which writer?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26"The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley,"
0:25:26 > 0:25:28and it is Robert Burns.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31You know it, that is correct, Robert Burns,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34so, 3-3, all square, both quizzing really well.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37We go to Sudden Death, remove those options.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42And, I have just got to hear answers from you, so, Ian and Duncan.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Minsk and Vitebsk are cities in which country?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I'm thinking Poland.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I have to say, if I get this wrong I have got a lot of very angry
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- learners. - Why are you thinking Poland?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Erm, Minsk, it is certainly up there, it's in the north.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08You see, I'm thinking it sounded more Russian,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11maybe not in Russia, but certainly former Soviet Union.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17OK, there's Ukraine, there's...
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Belorussia, Georgia.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27It needs to be port. Minsk is a port.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Shall we just go Russia and chance our arm?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I don't think it's Russia, though.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I don't think it's Georgia.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I don't think it's Ukraine. I don't think it's Belarus.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Go with your gut instincts here.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45We're going to stick our neck out and say Russia.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49OK, Russia for Minsk and Vitebsk.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I can tell you it's incorrect.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54And, I'm sure the Eggheads will be able to furnish us with the answer.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- ALL:- Belarus.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Belarus, which, of course, you went through, I was thinking,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02"Ooh, is he going to get it...?" And Minsk, is it a port?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- No, Minsk is the capital of Belarus. - But not a port?- It's well inland.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08But, not over yet, OK,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12so, the Eggheads only win if they get one more than you,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15and that means they need a correct answer here if they are to win.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18"I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21"so tell me what you want, what you really, really want."
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Lyrics from which Spice Girls song?
0:27:23 > 0:27:28It's the first one, isn't it, is it Wannabe? I think it's Wannabe.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Yes. # If you want to be my lover... # Yes, it's Wannabe!
0:27:32 > 0:27:36We know that this is the first Spice Girls major hit,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38and it's Wannabe.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Wannabe, you say? It's the correct answer, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Well, that was close, guys, well done, you got very
0:27:51 > 0:27:53close to getting that Sudden Death question, we remember,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56of course, the Wagner question, you did really, really well
0:27:56 > 0:27:58in that final round, two of you against four of them,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00and, to be fair, of course, your
0:28:00 > 0:28:02team-mates did well in their head-to-heads,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04just didn't work out in the end for them,
0:28:04 > 0:28:07but heads held high, you gave a very good account of yourselves,
0:28:07 > 0:28:11and our real wishes are towards you and all the work you do with
0:28:11 > 0:28:15the Cowane Centre, best of luck with all that work in the future.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17I'm sure that's something we can all agree with, Eggheads?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20But those Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and
0:28:20 > 0:28:23they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I'm afraid you won't be going home with £2,000,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32So, Eggheads, congratulations, and I'll ask again - who will beat you?
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see
0:28:33 > 0:28:36if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39£3,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
