0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are among 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 > 0:00:28Welcome to the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Taking on our awesome quiz champions are...
0:00:39 > 0:00:44This team of friends are members of the same Scrabble club based in Whitefield. Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 43 and I'm a chartered surveyor.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Pat. I'm 63 and I'm an accountant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Adrienne. I'm 65 and I'm a retired medical secretary.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03Hello. I'm Syd. I'm 72. I'm a retired consultant anaesthetist and now a university student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi. I'm Wayne. I'm 38 and I'm a finance advisor.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Welcome, Whitefield Wizards. Tell me about the Scrabbling. Do you quiz as well?
0:01:11 > 0:01:16We don't quiz collectively, but we have quizzed individually.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19We've all been playing Scrabble for far too long!
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- Is it a Scrabble club? - It is a Scrabble club founded by Adrienne about 15 years ago.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29We'll talk about winning hands, longest words and high-scoring words.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Do any Eggheads play Scrabble?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34JUDITH: Sometimes. KEVIN AND DAVE: Very occasionally.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Is there any overlap, any quizzers who are top Scrabble players?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Some. There are a couple, yeah.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46So, depending how it pans out, maybe we can have a Scrabble contest at the end of this?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- I suspect we may do better at Scrabble.- Let's see if you do better at quizzing.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Whitefield Wizards, the Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05£4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08The first head-to-head battle is on Politics.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Who would like to start us off?
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- It sounds like it's going to be me. - I think it's you, Syd.- I'll take it.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Who do you want to play? - Who do you think?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Dave?- Yeah.- I'll take Dave, please.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27OK, to open us up, it's going to be Syd and Dave playing Politics.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Both of you need, therefore, to go into the Question Room, please.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33OK, Syd, going to kick us off with Politics.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37What's your favourite Scrabble word? Not necessarily high-scoring.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40It can be a sneaky one that wins you a game.
0:02:40 > 0:02:48Actually, I think my favourite one is the one that gave me my highest score - "moresque".
0:02:48 > 0:02:52It's a form of Moorish architecture and I got 194 for that.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Phew! Moresque - and got the Q out there!
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- Was it towards the end of the game? - No, it was in the middle, but I did win the game.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05There's one to store away for the Eggheads to use against future teams.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Syd, do you want to go first or second in Politics? - I'll go first please, Dermot.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15OK, good luck, and here's your question.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20The Liberal Democrat Party was formed from a merger of the Liberals and the SDP in which year?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29I'm not totally confident on this. I can eliminate 1948.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I think it's between the other two.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I think I'll go for 1988.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36The late one there. And that's correct. Well done, Syd.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Point on the board.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Dave, which office is held by the head of the Swedish government?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Right, um...
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Sweden's a monarchy, so it will be Prime Minister.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Indeed. Prime Minister is the right answer. Well done, Dave.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Syd, the Deuxieme Bureau was an early version of which arm of the French government?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I'm pretty sure - should never say that - but I'm pretty sure
0:04:10 > 0:04:12that it's the Intelligence Service.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17The Deuxieme Bureau, Intelligence Service is the correct answer.
0:04:19 > 0:04:26Which Conservative MP was first elected for the Nottinghamshire constituency of Rushcliffe in 1970?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Not sure about Theresa May's constituency.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35William Hague's Richmond.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39He couldn't have been 1970. He would have been about nine.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It's Kenneth Clarke in Rushcliffe.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I think he's a big Nottingham Forest and Nottinghamshire cricket fan.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Kenneth Clarke. - That's the correct answer. Yes.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Straight back to Syd, then. Third question.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58Which Prime Minister paid for the controversial statue of Oliver Cromwell at Westminster,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01after funding had been voted down in Parliament?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11I really don't know this one. I'm going to have to make a guess.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16David Lloyd George was Prime Minister during the First World War.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20In view of the militant nature of Oliver Cromwell,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I will go for David Lloyd George.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27David Lloyd George paying for the statue of Oliver Cromwell
0:05:27 > 0:05:29right outside Westminster?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- What do you think, Dave? - I'd have gone David Lloyd George.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38All right. Well, it's incorrect. What do the other Eggheads think?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I think the most likely there is Rosebery.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44It's Lord Rosebery, Syd, not David Lloyd George.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Chance for Dave, then.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52Former Presidential candidate Segolene Royal had a long-term relationship and four children
0:05:52 > 0:05:54with which other French politician?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02CHUCKLING: It's a bit of a house of cards, this one.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I think they stood against each other for the nomination
0:06:05 > 0:06:09for the French Presidency in 2006.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Or was it 2007? It's Francois Hollande.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Also went on to become President, Francois Hollande.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- It's the right answer, Dave. - I'm sorry, Syd.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Well done, Dave. - Thank you, Syd.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Generous praise across the Question Room!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Dave's in the final round. Syd, no place for you.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36After the first round, one brain missing from the Whitefield Wizards.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38All the Eggheads there.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41We move on to our next subject, Film & Television.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Who wants to play this one?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Me, I think.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48OK, Wayne, choose an Egghead. Can't be Dave, of course.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51We're going to choose...Barry.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57Let's have Wayne and Barry into the Question Room, please.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Wayne, as we all know, we've got a lot of quiz champions here,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04but we're honoured, I believe, to have a Scrabble champion
0:07:04 > 0:07:08in your own form - the National Scrabble Champion of 2011.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Yes. It was, maybe, a little bit of a shock to people.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17I wasn't, certainly, the favourite to win the whole thing, but I was very, very pleased.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I'm sure you were. Any memorable words from that contest?
0:07:21 > 0:07:29I think the one that got picked up in a lot of reports about it was "caromel" - C-A-R-O-M-E-L.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- What's that?- It's the American term "to turn into caramel".
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- So a bit like "caramelise". - Right, let's play the round.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Good luck on Film & Television, Wayne. Here's your question.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51In the 1994 film Muriel's Wedding, Muriel is obsessed with which pop group?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I have seen this film and it was very, very good.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05It was set in Australia and Abba were massive in Australia.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07So I'm going to go for Abba.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Is the right answer. Well done. Muriel obsessed with Abba.
0:08:12 > 0:08:19Barry, which American singer starred as Mike Windgren in the 1963 film Fun In Acapulco?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26For some reason, "fun" doesn't associate itself with Johnny Cash!
0:08:26 > 0:08:30He was of a much more sombre nature. I believe this was Elvis Presley.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34One of his many films, Elvis Presley, yes.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Back to Wayne.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Which of these actors was nominated nine times for the Oscar for Best Actor?
0:08:44 > 0:08:50Oooh. Not really into Oscars and these are really quite old actors.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Um... I think I'm going to go for Cary Grant.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Cary Grant, nine nominations?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01It's not the right answer, Wayne. It's Spencer Tracy.
0:09:03 > 0:09:09In 2010, which reality television series featured Ivana Trump, Vinnie Jones and Stephen Baldwin?
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Now, my wife loves watching all these celebrity reality series.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24I make a point of coming out the room the moment they come on.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I must have stayed in the room long enough to have caught a glimpse.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I believe this was Celebrity Big Brother.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Celebrity Big Brother's the right answer.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Wayne, you need this one. The British actor Ed Westwick
0:09:39 > 0:09:42plays Chuck Bass in which US television series?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I've never seen any of the programmes.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54My gut instinct says True Blood so I'm going to go with that one.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Your instinct's let you down. It's not the right answer, Wayne.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03It's Gossip Girl. Ed Westwick in Gossip Girl.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Barry's done enough already. No place for you in the final round.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Whitefield Wizards, you've been out-foxed by the Eggheads.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Not out-smarted, for sure, but lost both those head-to-heads.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Two brains missing from the final round. The Eggheads all there.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Let's do our third category. This one is Geography.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Who'd like to play this one?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I think it's Adrienne for that.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- I'm going for Geography, aren't I? - Who do you want? Do Pat.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Pat?- Yeah.- I'll take Pat, please.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44So it's going to be you, Adrienne, and Pat from the Eggheads.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Once again, could I ask you both please to go to the Question Room?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Adrienne, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58First question is this, then.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01The city of Brest is in which part of France?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'm not totally sure.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I'm trying to picture a map of France.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I'm going to go for...
0:11:15 > 0:11:17north-west.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22North-west is correct. Well pictured.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Pat, Blue Mountain Peak is the highest point on which island?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32There's a very famous coffee from the Blue Mountains.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35So I'm very tempted by Jamaica.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40I don't think it's Madagascar or Anglesey so I'll go for Jamaica.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45It is Jamaica. It's the right answer. Well done, Pat.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Adrienne, Ostrobothnia is a region of which European country?
0:11:52 > 0:11:59I'll spell it for you. It's all one word. O-S-T-R-O-B-O-T-H-N-I-A.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Ostrobothnia.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05It's not an area I have heard of.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10But...by process of elimination,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14and considering the way it's been spelled,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I will go for Czech Republic.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18The Czech Republic for Ostrobothnia?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21It's incorrect, Adrienne. It's not.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Do you know, Pat? - I suspect it's Finland.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29It is Finland. It's the answer we were looking for.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Over to Pat, staying in Scandinavia.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36What is the approximate population of Denmark?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Well, in area, it's a reasonable size,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46but it's dwarfed by the likes of Germany.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I think I'll go with 5.5 million.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51The lower end there. It's correct.
0:12:51 > 0:12:545.5 million, the approximate population of Denmark.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Which means, Adrienne, you need this.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Fitzroy Gardens and Federation Square are landmarks in which Australian city?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Um... It should be a good question for me.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11I have lived in Australia. We lived in Melbourne.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16I'm going to go for Melbourne because "Fitzroy" rings a bell.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- I will say Melbourne. - How long ago was it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- How long have you been out of Australia?- 40 years!
0:13:23 > 0:13:27So a fair amount of time. Ringing a bell, that's fair enough.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31But it is the right answer. Well done.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- Would have been a bit embarrassing if you didn't get that.- Yes.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Lucky that stayed with you, Fitzroy.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Keeps you in it, but Pat has a chance to administer the coup de grace.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Pat, where is the Marloes Peninsula?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Where is the Marloes - M-A-R-L-O-E-S?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57The ending, O-E-S, there's something faintly Welsh about that.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I could be deluding myself.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Argyll and Bute is on the jagged side of Scotland.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04There are lots of islands and peninsulas.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09I think the O-E-S sounds faintly Welsh so I'll go for Pembrokeshire.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12OK...
0:14:12 > 0:14:15A little logic. A faint linguistic link, you think.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18And it is the right answer.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22You're in the final round, and Adrienne we bid you farewell.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Would you both please come and join your teams?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Whitefield Wizards, not too much magic about the performance so far.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35Three brains down, as you head into the final round. The Eggheads are all there.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38We've got a head-to-head before that final round.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40This one is Sport.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42LAUGHTER
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- It's Paul or Pat.- That's me, Dermot.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- Paul, who would you like to play from the Eggheads - Kevin or Judith? - I think Judith.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Let's have Paul and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Paul, tell me about your Scrabbling.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01You all must know, what is the maximum score in Scrabble?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03What's the most you could score?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I think you can get what's called a 27-timer,
0:15:06 > 0:15:12- which goes across three triple word scores for about 3,500 points.- Wow!
0:15:12 > 0:15:16So you use someone else's letter and you get all the way across.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- OK, what's your highest score? - "Vizirate".
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- V-I-Z-I-R-A-T-E for 239. - Right, and what does that mean?
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- It's like a King's kingdom. It's a Vizir's realm.- Got that.
0:15:30 > 0:15:36- You also like Trivial Pursuit?- I do. I'm the current Mensa Trivial Pursuit champion.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Wow! OK.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Let's play the round.
0:15:39 > 0:15:46- Paul, it's Sport. Would you like to go first or second? - I'll go second, please, Dermot.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Judith, first question goes to you. It's one of your favourite sports.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Which position is most associated with the footballer Petr Cech?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I think he IS a goalkeeper.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Any idea who he played for?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Chelsea?- Very good! It's the right answer.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Where did that come from? - I'm impressed.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16So am I!
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Impressed yourself! That has to be a good answer! OK, Paul...
0:16:20 > 0:16:26In the name of the Formula 1 team that competed in Grand Prix until the 1970s,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30for what did the letter B in BRM stand?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I think that's British, Dermot.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38It is. I'll confirm that. Any ideas about the RM? British...?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- No idea.- Doesn't matter. You've given me the right answer.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Judith, tell me.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- British Racing Motors.- That's right.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Wow! You're on fire! - SHE CHUCKLES
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Second question for you, Judith.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Which golfer qualified for the European Ryder Cup team in 2012,
0:16:57 > 0:17:0013 years after his first appearance in the event?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I think that Paul Lawrie is quite old.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I think it might be him.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Paul Lawrie?- Yeah.
0:17:11 > 0:17:18The victorious European Ryder Cup team. What a victory it was in 2012.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Paul Lawrie had a really big part in it. It's the right answer.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30Paul, following a controversy regarding a Twitter account and provocative texts,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34which cricketer was dropped from the England team in August 2012?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40I think they were texts to the South African team.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42That's Kevin Pietersen.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Kevin Pietersen is correct. It's all-square.
0:17:48 > 0:17:55Judith, the NBA basketball star Tony Parker played for which country at the 2012 Olympics?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59FRENCH ACCENT: Tony Parker?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Why on Earth would he be playing for Russia?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Ugh! Or Spain? I... I don't know.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11France.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16France. Your lovely pronunciation of how they must say his name.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- It's the right answer. - FRENCH ACCENT:- Tony Parker.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21France is correct.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26If it stays that way after this answer, you're through, as you know. You need this, Paul.
0:18:26 > 0:18:32Outside hitter, middle blocker and setter are playing positions in which sport?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Don't know this one for certain, but...
0:18:40 > 0:18:45a set is something you do before you spike a ball in volleyball.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Doesn't ring any bells in hockey.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I've no idea of any positions in water polo. I'll go for volleyball.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It's the right answer, Paul. Well worked out.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Into Sudden Death, then.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03That means, Paul, we remove the options you've had in the first three questions you faced.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Just to sort out a winner. It's a lot harder.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Judith, your first question.
0:19:08 > 0:19:15In June 2012, which racehorse was provisionally awarded the highest Timeform rating of all time?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19That's Frankel - the wonder horse.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It is! Following on from Champion The Wonder Horse.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Frankel it is. Well done.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Paul, which English Premiership rugby union club
0:19:29 > 0:19:31is nicknamed The Saints?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Again, not entirely certain of this, Dermot,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38but I THINK it's Northampton.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42OK. It's the right answer. Well done, Paul.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Northampton Saints.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46On we go, Judith.
0:19:46 > 0:19:53The tennis player Jimmy Connors won the Men's Singles title at Wimbledon on how many occasions?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I think he only won it once.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58OK. Once...
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- N-no. Incorrect. Not once. - How many times?- Other Eggheads?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Two. - 1974 and 1982.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11It's twice, and Dave tells me 1974 and 1982, which are the correct years.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Big gap between them.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Bad luck, but an opportunity for Paul.
0:20:17 > 0:20:25Winky Wright from Florida first became a World Champion in which sport in 1996?
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Something tells me, Dermot, he's a boxer, so we'll go for boxing.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33That is the knockout blow. It's the right answer, boxing.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38He won the WBO light middleweight title in that year.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You're through to the final round. Look at Pat!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- LAUGHING:- Boy! That is relief!
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- That is relief. - Written all over your face.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Bad luck, Judith. Some really good quizzing from you on that Sport round.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55She's becoming a formidable player on Sport, it must be said.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58But no place in the final round.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Paul and Judith, could you come back and join your teams, please?
0:21:02 > 0:21:07So this is what we've been playing towards, the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:09 > 0:21:12won't be allowed to take part,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15so Adrienne, Syd and Wayne from Whitefield Wizards
0:21:15 > 0:21:20and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:21:20 > 0:21:25So, Paul and Pat, you're playing to win the Whitefield Wizards £4,000.
0:21:25 > 0:21:31Barry, Pat, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:31 > 0:21:38I'll ask each team three questions in turn, all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43So Whitefield Wizards, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Paul and Pat, would you like to go first or second?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Second? We'll go second, please, Dermot.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Eggheads, you're starting, then.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58What colour is the beret of the Parachute Regiment in the British Army?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04What colour is the beret of the Parachute Regiment
0:22:04 > 0:22:05in the British Army?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Red beret, isn't it? - ALL AGREE
0:22:08 > 0:22:10It's the nearest thing.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12It's maroon.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Maroon is the right answer, yes.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Now, for the Whitefield Wizards.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20What is the meaning of "mendacity"?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27What is the meaning of "mendacity"? To Scrabble players!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28How hard can this be?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30That's "untruthfulness".
0:22:30 > 0:22:36Have any of you ever used it? I suppose you can't remember.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Perfect. "Mendacity", what a great start. Is the right answer, yes.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Eggheads...
0:22:41 > 0:22:47Which novel starts with the line, "There was no possibility of taking a walk that day"?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Which novel starts with the line,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55"There was no possibility of taking a walk that day"?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Jane Eyre, isn't it? OK? Happy with it?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01We think that's Jane Eyre.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04You all know the opening line to Pride And Prejudice.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08"It is a truth universally acknowledged..." et cetera!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Animal Farm, any of you know?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- No.- No.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Well, Jane Eyre it is. And Whitefield Wizards...
0:23:16 > 0:23:24Which of these patriotic songs is sung to music composed by Elgar with words written by AC Benson?
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Which of these patriotic songs is sung to music composed by Elgar
0:23:32 > 0:23:35with words written by AC Benson?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37It's Land Of Hope And Glory.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Land Of Hope And Glory. - Land Of Hope And Glory, you think?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42It's the right answer.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Of course, Rule Britannia not identified by David Cameron?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- On an American talk show? - That's right. Yeah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52So, all-square. And Eggheads...
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Santiago Calatrava, born in Spain in 1951,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01became one of the world's leading practitioners in which profession?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Santiago Calatrava, born in Spain in 1951,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12became one of the world's leading practitioners in which profession?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Architect, wasn't he?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Yeah, he's done, particularly, lots and lots of bridges.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22He's got quite a distinctive way of designing bridges.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25So he's an architect.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28An architect is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Mainly in Spain? Any in the UK?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- All over.- Any you can see in the UK?
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Just trying to think. He's done one of the millennium bridges somewhere.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- Can't think which one, though. - Santiago Calatrava an architect.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Which means, you can see it for yourself,
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Whitefield Wizards, Paul and Pat, you need to get this.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52The ballistic missile early warning station at RAF Fylingdales
0:24:52 > 0:24:55is in which national park in England?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02The ballistic missile early warning station at RAF Fylingdales
0:25:02 > 0:25:04is in which national park in England?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- It's not Dartmoor. - No. I think the fact it's...
0:25:07 > 0:25:11The Peak District's inland, you assume it's got to be on the coast.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- It goes up to Harrogate. - And the fact it's got "dale" in it,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- it's more likely to be North Yorkshire Moors.- Yeah.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20North Yorkshire Moors, Dermot.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25After that Jane Eyre question, back on the moors. It's the right answer.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Barry containing himself there, I noticed,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30as I asked that question.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33We go to Sudden Death, then.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37The animal called the quokka is native to which continent?
0:25:37 > 0:25:42The animal called the quokka - Q-U-O-K-K-A - is native to which continent?
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Australia? - PAT: It's on Rottnest Island.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48It's like the wallaby, isn't it? Australia.
0:25:48 > 0:25:55Well, the continent... It's IN Australia so you could say Australia or Australasia.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Covering yourself. We've got Australia here. It's a type of what?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Wallaby. - It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Whitefield Wizards,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06your first Sudden Death question.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Which chemical element has the symbol Xe?
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- Which chemical element has the symbol Xe? - PAUL MOUTHS ANSWER
0:26:13 > 0:26:19- That's xenon. - It is. I'm sure these are words that are very useful in Scrabble!
0:26:19 > 0:26:22X-E-N-O-N!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25This is tailor-made, some of these questions.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Well done. On we go.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32Which stately home in Hampshire was the home of Lord Palmerston
0:26:32 > 0:26:34and later of Earl Mountbatten of Burma?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Which stately home in Hampshire was the home of Lord Palmerston
0:26:38 > 0:26:41and later of Earl Mountbatten of Burma?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Broadlands.- Broadlands?- Yeah.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Not so very far from me, only about ten miles away.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- It's Broadlands.- Broadlands is correct. Can you visit it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Oh, yes, you can. I have done a few times.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Broadlands, right answer.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Back to Whitefield Wizards.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02Archie Weir is the central character of which unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Archie Weir is the central character
0:27:05 > 0:27:09of which unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson?
0:27:09 > 0:27:14I don't have a clue. I can't think of an unfinished one.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18No. The only ones I can think of are Treasure Island, which it's not,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Kidnapped...
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Jekyll And Hyde.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Smugglers? Something like that?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Shall we go with something like that?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I can't think of anything else.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's a guess because we really don't know.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38We think it might be something like The Smugglers.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42OK, The Smugglers by Robert Louis Stevenson.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46It's Weir Of Hermiston, so that's incorrect.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It's Weir Of Hermiston.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Which means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Out of interest, did you know Weir Of Hermiston?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- ALL: Yes. - Archie Weir the central character.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06As I was saying during the course of that final round, my goodness me!
0:28:06 > 0:28:09It took a difficult question to sort out a winner.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13A great performance from the Whitefield Wizards as we got deep into Sudden Death.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18It just wasn't to be on the day. Thank you very much for taking on the Eggheads.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Perhaps you can take them on at Scrabble and sort them out!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Best of luck with the Scrabbling in the future.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and they reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33You won't be going home with the £4,000, which rolls over to the next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37So, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Join us to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45£5,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
