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 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five 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 > 0:00:34And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths are...
0:00:36 > 0:00:38This team of old school friends
0:00:38 > 0:00:42all attended Bishop Vesey's Grammar School in Sutton Coldfield
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm James, I'm 18 and a student of Spanish and Italian.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Jacob, I'm 18 and I'm a medical science student.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Georgina, I'm 18 and I'm a human biology student.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Will, I'm 18 and I'm a product design student.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm George, I'm 18 and I'm an ancient history student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Welcome to you, Vesey Peasy. Loving the team name.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10You know that, of course, it won't be easy-peasy against the Eggheads!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12What made you decide to try to take them on?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We all went to school together, as you said,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18and then we took part in some pub quizzes,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20and a couple of us are big fans of it,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22well, quite a few of us are,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26and we thought we'd like to meet them and try our chances against them.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30So it's big in the student world. You've moved on from school, haven't you?
0:01:30 > 0:01:35I notice you've got a pretty good spread of expertise.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38We've got a couple of science students in the middle,
0:01:38 > 0:01:39you're foreign languages,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43let's see if you can put that knowledge to the test today.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Vesey Peasy, the Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58That means £4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Our first head-to-head is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Who'd like to take this one on?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- VARIOUS: George? - If I let you down, I'll cry.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11George, you've got this one. You're the best at this.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- I'll be bold.- All right, George, you've got this one.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Which Egghead would you like to take into the Question Room?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I'll take Pat.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Let's have George and Pat, contesting our opening round, Film & Television,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27into the Question Room.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33George, you're kicking off for Vesey Peasy against the Eggheads.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Dermot.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Best of luck, George. First question of then day, then.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48What was the title of the 1970s and '80s TV cartoon series
0:02:48 > 0:02:51that featured a superhero team called G-Force?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59I have got literally no idea. Let me have a think.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00G-Force...
0:03:00 > 0:03:02G-Force... Battle of the Planets?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I'm not thinking it's Battle of the Planets. It doesn't sound right.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08War of the Worlds...
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Erm... G-Force... Could there be a "G" in the War of the Worlds?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I don't know. I've never heard of Scuffle of the Stars.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21I'm going to go down the middle. War of the Worlds. Sorry.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23All right! Bit of a rap there, really!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- I know. I didn't stop. Sorry about that.- It's very good!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Nice to share your thinking with us, we like it.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31War of the Worlds, it is not, though.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It is... Do you know, Pat?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Battle of the Planets. - Battle of the Planets,
0:03:36 > 0:03:37with G-Force in it.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We'll see how Pat does with his first one.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43"I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her"
0:03:43 > 0:03:46is a line from which film, starring Hugh Grant?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I think he's been in all of those three films,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57playing a tongue-tied, slightly toff Englishman.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01It sounds a little too modern for Sense and Sensibility,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04assuming they stuck to the original Austen style.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I think I'll pick between About A Boy and Notting Hill.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Notting Hill is the really big film and an unashamed rom-com.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- I'll go for Notting Hill. - Notting Hill.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20It's the right answer, yes. You got that, Pat.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22We need you to get this, George.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Who plays the title role in the 2012 film Anna Karenina?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Er, I don't even know what that film is.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36This hasn't been a very successful run of questions.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I think you've given Pat all the easy ones.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Emma Watson...
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I don't think she's done too much since being Hermione.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Keira Knightley, I don't think she's done anything for ages.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I don't even know what she's doing, probably working in a Little Chef.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Carey Mulligan... She seems a bit popular lately.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I'm reckoning Carey Mulligan. Let's go with that.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03OK. Carey Mulligan, because Keira was too busy.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08She actually had time to be Anna Karenina, as well, in 2012.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- She managed to fit that in. - She's a busy girl.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Well, she got a few evenings off. They let her do that.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20As for Pat, he did get your first one right, as well,
0:05:20 > 0:05:21on his questions.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Pat, here is your question, to maybe take the round.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29What was the title of the 2012 BBC series of Shakespeare plays,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31starring Jeremy Irons and Tom Hiddleston?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I've seen some of these. They're very, very good.
0:05:38 > 0:05:44Erm... I think they're collectively known as The Hollow Crown.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45The Hollow Crown...
0:05:45 > 0:05:49..is the right answer, Pat. It's all over, George!
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Bad luck! No place for you in the Final Round.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Would you both please come back here?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59As it stands, Vesey Peasy have lost one brain from the Final Round.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Our next subject is History.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07Who would like to play this? It would've been you, I guess, George, but you can't play.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- I think it's going to have to be you.- Jacob. Come on, mate.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I'll take that one, please, Dermot.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17OK, Jacob. Choose an Egghead. Remember, it can't be Pat.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- I'll take Barry. - It's going to be Jacob and Barry
0:06:21 > 0:06:22playing the History round.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25You know where to go - the Question Room, please.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Jacob, you're a football referee, fully qualified?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33I've been doing it for four years. I do it most weekends.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Are you a bit of a masochist? Do you like the abuse?
0:06:35 > 0:06:40I can't say I do, but it's good money, it's a good hobby and it's good to watch some good football.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Do you get quite a lot of lip?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46You don't tend to. A quiet word and a calm influence
0:06:46 > 0:06:48normally does the right thing.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Anyway, what about your interest in history, then?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53You're a medical science student, aren't you?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yes, but I did A Level history
0:06:55 > 0:06:59and GCSE history and did quite well in it,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02so I've got a decent knowledge, I like to think.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- Let's hope you do very well. Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Good luck, Jacob.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13During the Battle Of Britain,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17what informal order was given for RAF fighter pilots to take off
0:07:17 > 0:07:19to intercept a bombing raid?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25I don't think they'd tell them to scamper, so I'll discard that one.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Scurry doesn't sound like the right terminology they'd use,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32so I'm going to go for scramble.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35It is the right answer, yes. Scramble.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Barry,
0:07:37 > 0:07:41who was declared First Consul of France in 1799?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Charlemagne was crowned King of the Franks in 800,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51and de Gaulle was the first president of the Fifth Republic
0:07:51 > 0:07:55about 19... just thinking ..58 about,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57so that leaves us with Napoleon,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00who was declared First Consul of France in 1790-whatever.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Nine.- Nine.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Which you would've known, anyway. Show off!
0:08:05 > 0:08:09It's the right answer, Barry!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11No extra points for that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Over to you, Jacob, for number two.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15What name for feudal land-holders
0:08:15 > 0:08:18was superseded by the term "knights"
0:08:18 > 0:08:20after the Norman Conquest of England?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Right, so if it's knights,
0:08:26 > 0:08:31that's Ealdermen Knights, Fyrds Knights or Thanes Knights.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Erm... I don't think I'll go with Ealdermen.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I think I'll go with Thanes.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Thane. It's the right answer.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Well done. You've got two.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Good start.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Barry, second question.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49From which part of Britain did the medieval Tudor dynasty originate?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Well, the Tudor dynasty originated with Henry VII,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57who I believe was born in Pembroke Castle,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00and Pembroke is in Wales so my answer is Wales.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Needing that knowledge to work that one out.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05It's the correct answer. Both got two.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08OK, Jacob, good luck with this one.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10It could be the one that gets rid of Barry
0:09:10 > 0:09:12but you need to get it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16In what secret arrangement of 1670
0:09:16 > 0:09:20did Charles II agree to receive financial subsidies from the French?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Right, Hastings, I'm thinking Battle of Hastings.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32I haven't heard of the Treaty of Hastings, so I'll count that one out.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36So the Treaty of Dover or the Treaty of Sandwich.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I think I'll go with Treaty of Sandwich, please.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41OK, Treaty of Sandwich.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Rejecting Hastings because of the battle there.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's not Hastings, but it's not Sandwich. It is Dover.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Dover. OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Barry, who became Roman Emperor in 193 AD
0:09:55 > 0:09:59by being the highest bidder in an auction for the support of the Praetorian Guard?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08I think 193 AD was when Commodus was assassinated.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13I think it might've been one of the Praetorian Guard, but I'm not sure.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18But there was then a bidding auction and I seem to remember that Didius Julianus bid the most money,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20so my answer is Didius Julianus.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It is the right answer, Didius Julianus,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25which means you just made it into the Final Round.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31You were going well, Jacob, but just hit that Treaty of Dover, which means it is over for you.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33No place in the Final Round. Barry, you will be there.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Well, close there for Jacob, but it didn't happen.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44It means Vesey Peasy have lost two brains from the Final Round. The Eggheads are all there.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47We've got our third head-to-head and it's Sport.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Three of you left there to potentially play it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52James, Georgina or Will?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I vote you two.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57We might be better off keeping James to the end.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- What do you want?- Because you're an idiot!- James has got better general.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Go for it. - I think I'm going to have it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09All right, Will. You can play Chris, Daphne or Dave.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- VARIOUS: Chris?- Chris, please.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16OK, let's have Will and Chris into the Question Room to play this Sport round.
0:11:16 > 0:11:22I just heard a growl there, like a bear waking up from hibernation!
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Horrible sense of deja vu! - DERMOT LAUGHS
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Let's hope it goes well for you, then!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Will and Chris, into the Question Room.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35You seem to be edging up on the Eggheads, Vesey Peasy.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Let's see if Will can go all the way and knock Chris out,
0:11:37 > 0:11:42as Chris would admit, not his strongest subject. He does well at everything, though.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Will, do you want to go first or second?- First, please.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51First question, here you go. In which of these sports
0:11:51 > 0:11:54would you be most likely to perform a Flic-Flac?
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Erm...
0:11:58 > 0:12:05I wouldn't go with sailing. I don't know much about that.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Volleyball...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I only know stuff like dig and spike,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12so I don't think it's that.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I'm going to have to go with gymnastics.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Gymnastics is the right answer, yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24Chris, what is the name of the FA's national football centre
0:12:24 > 0:12:26that opened in Burton Upon Trent in 2012?
0:12:30 > 0:12:35I've never heard of St Trevor's Park and St James's Park is Newcastle's ground
0:12:35 > 0:12:37so it's got to be St George's Park.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Yep. It's St George's Park, by elimination there.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Will,
0:12:42 > 0:12:47the American Ryan Lochte became famous as a leading name in which sport?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I've never heard of him
0:12:52 > 0:12:54so it's not a good start.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56The Americans are quite...
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'd say they're quite keen on swimming at the moment,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02so I'm going to have to say swimming.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04OK. Have to say swimming.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- Did you watch any of The Olympics, then? You didn't?- Erm...
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Not much of it. I did watch bits and bobs.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16All right. It's the right answer. Well done. Good guess!
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Chris, second question.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22In ounces, what is the minimum weight of a cricket ball,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24used in Test matches?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Well, 12.5 is almost a pound.
0:13:31 > 0:13:349's just over half a pound, which is still a bit heavy,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36so it's got to be 5.5.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39It's the right answer! Well done, as you flick your imaginary cricket ball.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Yes, see what it feels like.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Did you play a bit in your time?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Strangely enough, at school,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- I did get my arm twisted to play a few games of cricket.- Good to hear.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I was quite a useful batsman.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Well, it means it's all square as we go into that third question.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Will, good luck with this.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Which horse won the Epsom Derby and the 2,000 Guineas in 2012?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Erm, Henrythenavigator sounds like an absolute mad name
0:14:10 > 0:14:14and I probably would've heard it and recognise it,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17but I don't.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Cockney Rebel...
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Again, I don't think it's that,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- so I'm going to have to go with Camelot.- OK, Camelot.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Again, a bit of a guess, is it?- Ish.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It's the right answer. Well done!
0:14:31 > 0:14:33He's got in there and got three out of three
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and he's not really been confident about any of them.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40But a foot in the Final Round. Let's see how Chris does.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43What name is given to the part of the bow handle
0:14:43 > 0:14:46that faces an archer when he or she is shooting?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Hm... Hang on.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- That's the belly, Dermot. - DERMOT LAUGHS
0:14:54 > 0:14:58We've had you tossing a cricket ball and now you're lining up an arrow.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Yes.- Belly is correct! It's all square.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Three each. We go to Sudden Death.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Will, I'm sure you know, being an avid viewer of the programme,
0:15:06 > 0:15:12but just to remind you, we remove the options now so you've just got to answer.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Which Scottish footballer
0:15:13 > 0:15:18became manager of Rangers Football Club in 2011?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21I'm trying to think of his name. Erm...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I know Jacob knows this, as well. This is frustrating.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Erm...
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Scottish footballer... Erm...
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I'm trying to think of some.
0:15:35 > 0:15:372011...
0:15:37 > 0:15:41I don't know. I've no idea.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Nothing there you can't guess? They quite often get landed.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Scottish footballer, manager of Rangers?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- No, I've had a block. I don't know. - OK.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55No answer there, then. I'll put it to your teammates.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- He wants to know if you know, Jacob. - Ally McCoist.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02It's Ally McCoist, which you would've got from a list.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07It's so much harder in Sudden Death, as hopefully Chris will demonstrate!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09You're not out yet, Will.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Chris, in 2008,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14which rower swam the Strait of Gibraltar with comedian David Walliams
0:16:14 > 0:16:17in aid of Sport Relief?
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Hm...
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Steve Redgrave.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24No, it's incorrect.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Other Eggheads?- James Cracknell. - It's James Cracknell.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31So you're still alive, Will. On we go. Another pair of questions.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Tito Vilanova became the new manager of which Spanish football club
0:16:35 > 0:16:39for the start of the 2012/13 season?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43I'm not a follower of La Liga, or any Spanish leagues,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47but I believe Barcelona lost a manager
0:16:47 > 0:16:50at the end of the 2011 season,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52so I'm going to say Barcelona.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Barcelona's your answer.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Succeeding Pep Guardiola, it's the right answer. Well done.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04So, Chris, the Nassau Stakes is a Group 1 horse race
0:17:04 > 0:17:08which takes place on which British race course?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Epsom.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- No!- No?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Pat? Anyone?- Goodwood.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19It's Goodwood, from Dave. Goodwood. Glorious Goodwood.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22So it means you're in the Final Round, Will!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Well done! You made it!- Thank you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I'm glad you're made up about it(!) Really excited!
0:17:29 > 0:17:33No place for you, Chris. Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38That's looking much better now. Vesey Peasy have lost two brains
0:17:38 > 0:17:40but the Eggheads have lost their first.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Our last head-to-head is Geography.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Who'd like to play this? It's Georgina or James.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I didn't even know Reading was south!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I think we'll have to go James.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Don't forget your passport, though! - I think I'm going to take this one.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57All right, James. Who would you like to play?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- It's Daphne or Dave. - What do you think?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Dave's new, so... - Is he not good on geography?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I think he knows his geography.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I think we're going to go with Dave.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14James and Dave for this one, please, into the Question Room.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16James, an important round, as you well know.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'd like to go first, please.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27OK, it's Geography. Off we go, James. First question...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30What term is used to refer to a weather front,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33represented on a map by solid blue triangles,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35joined by a solid line?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Right, well, I don't think it's tepid front,
0:18:42 > 0:18:44so it's between the other two.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Purely based on the fact it's a blue line,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I'm going to go down the middle with cold front.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55OK. Blue - cold. Yes, it's the right answer. Well done.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Dave, Bournemouth and Poole are towns in which English county?
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Bournemouth and Poole are towns in which English county?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- IN WEST COUNTRY ACCENT: - They're in Dorset.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- I can't do the accent, can I? - Was that your attempt at one?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I can't do the accent. That sounded more like... It could be anywhere!
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- But it is Dorset.- It is Dorset! - Sorry, Daph.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21That's all we needed!
0:19:21 > 0:19:27James, second question. Which shipping forecast area lies directly south of Viking
0:19:27 > 0:19:29and directly north of Dogger?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Which shipping forecast area lies directly south of Viking
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and directly north of Dogger?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Well...- Do you listen to the shipping forecast?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I can honestly say I've never heard the shipping forecast.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Er... It's going to have to be a complete guess, I think.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Erm...
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I like the look of Fair Isle, I think.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I don't know why, it's just standing out to me.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Fair Isle. That's where the Eggheads get a lot of their jumpers from.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05But it's not the right answer.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- Do you know, Dave? - I'd have gone Forties.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09It is Forties.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Directly south of Viking and north of Dogger.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Well, a chance for Dave to go ahead.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21Dave, what name is given to the accumulation of sediment on a coral reef or shoreline?
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Abrasion, I thought, was to do with rocks that have abrasion on them.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31And then accretion,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35I thought that was the growth of continents and countries.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39I'm going to go for accentuation, but I'm not entirely sure.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42OK, accentuation.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Daphne's looking a bit stern, Dave.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Looking like a headmistress and you got...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I think you got the answer wrong. I would just guess.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Daphne?- Accretion.- It is accretion.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57It is? I just associated that with the growing of continents.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58- OK.- Bad mistake.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03Well, it means it stays all square as we go into a third question each.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08James, the River Pangani flows through which African country?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Pangani.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Right, erm,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I don't know how I'm going to eliminate some here.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Tanzania... My friend's been to Tanzania.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25and although she never mentioned any rivers,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'm just going to eliminate that one.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Er... I think I'm going to go for...
0:21:34 > 0:21:36..Kenya.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Kenya for the Pangani.- Yes.- OK.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Dave, do you know?
0:21:40 > 0:21:45- Is it Kenya?- I don't know. I'd have gone Tanzania myself.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47It is Tanzania.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Tanzania. So a chance for Dave.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Dave, the site of which US state's capital
0:21:52 > 0:21:54was originally called Last Chance Gulch,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57after the gold discovered there in the 19th century?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Right, well, we've got Helena in Montana,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07and Bismarck, North Dakota,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09and Cheyenne, Wyoming.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13So let's have a think. I'll have to go for Cheyenne.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- I'll go for Wyoming.- Wyoming.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I was just impressed while you were doing your deliberations.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26- Every Egghead has to know them. - They all sound fairly obscure.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30But Last Chance Gulch was, you said it, Helena,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Montana. - Oh, right. I didn't know that.- Yes.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36OK, well, it's all square still.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Everything to play for in Sudden Death now.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Eden and South Lakeland
0:22:41 > 0:22:45are districts of which administrative county in the north of England?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Eden and South Lakeland
0:22:48 > 0:22:52are districts of which administrative county in the north of England?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Right, erm...
0:22:56 > 0:22:59What shall I go for? Erm...
0:22:59 > 0:23:03I am going to go for Yorkshire.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06OK. Yorkshire.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09No. Incorrect. Dave might know.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Cumbria.- It's Cumbria.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14The lake there, the Lakeland, might've been a clue.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Dave, which group of islands in the Pacific Ocean
0:23:18 > 0:23:21takes its name from a Spanish word for tortoises?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Galapagos Islands.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Not messing around. That is the right answer, yes.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30The Galapagos Islands is the right answer,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32which takes you into that Final Round.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38This is what we've been playing towards -
0:23:38 > 0:23:41time for the Final Round, which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Those who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48so James, Jacob and George from Vesey Peasy,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53would you leave the studio now, please?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Georgina and Will, you're playing to win Vesey Peasy £4,000.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Dave, Daphne, Barry and Pat,
0:23:59 > 0:24:04you're playing for something which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10The questions are general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Vesey Peasy, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Georgina and Will, do you want to go first or second?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- We'll go first.- First again.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Best of luck to you. First question is this...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Which of these is a slang term
0:24:28 > 0:24:31sometimes used to describe a decrepit car?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Which of these is a slang term
0:24:36 > 0:24:39sometimes used to describe a decrepit car?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Well, we know this one straight off. - Both of us knew it.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Old banger.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Old banger is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50On we go. Eggheads, first question...
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Mongo is a fictional planet
0:24:53 > 0:24:55in which comic strip and series of films?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Mongo is a fictional planet
0:25:00 > 0:25:03in which comic strip and series of films?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06ALL: Flash Gordon.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Ming the Merciless.- Absolutely.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14Brian Blessed comes to mind, as well! Remarkable performance!
0:25:14 > 0:25:19I'm afraid we're all old enough to remember this.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20It's Flash Gordon.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25- Flash Gordon. - Ming the Merciless from Mongo.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Right, I see. Mongo and Ming the Merciless.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29The Eggheads being merciless.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Flash Gordon is the right answer.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34OK, let's build on that nice solid start, Vesey Peasy.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Now... Ah!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The temporal bones are found in which part of the human body?
0:25:42 > 0:25:46The temporal bones are found in which part of the human body?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50OK, temporal... You've got your temporal lobe in your head.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Is that an option? - Head is an option,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- so from that... - Shall we go with head?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- I'm going to go with head.- OK.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Bit of pressure on you, Georgina! - Just a little bit!
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Being a human biology student and all that!
0:26:03 > 0:26:06You got it, yes. The temporal bones are in the head.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Eggheads, the theatrical producer Hugh Beaumont,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14who died in 1973, was known by what nickname?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21The theatrical producer Hugh Beaumont, who died in 1973,
0:26:21 > 0:26:22was known by what nickname?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- Go for it.- He was Binkie Beaumont.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- It's got a ring to it, hasn't it? - Yes!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Binkie Beaumont. Do you know how he got it?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- No.- It's the right answer, anyway. - Oh, right!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Binkie Beaumont. It's all square. Anything can happen.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42This question could win you the money, you never know!
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Which actor wrote and illustrated the book "The Windvale Sprites"?
0:26:51 > 0:26:57Which actor wrote and illustrated the book "The Windvale Sprites"?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- It's quite an odd name of a book. - Yes.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- Ricky Gervais did that Flanimals. - Yes, he writes a fair bit.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07But then, they're all comedians
0:27:07 > 0:27:11so it's not like we can eliminate one for not being a comedian.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16- I don't think it's Mackenzie Crook. - I wouldn't say it's Ricky, either.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Do you want to go with Martin Freeman?- Shall we?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21We're going to go with Martin Freeman as a complete guess!
0:27:21 > 0:27:25OK. And, of course, all had huge roles in The Office.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29You're going for Martin Freeman. It's not Martin Freeman.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Do you know, Eggheads? - Mackenzie Crook.- Yes.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It's Mackenzie Crook. OK.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Now you have to sit and hope
0:27:37 > 0:27:39that the Eggheads don't get this.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43What type of insect is responsible for spreading dengue fever?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50What type of insect is responsible for spreading dengue fever?
0:27:50 > 0:27:55There's three by a mosquito - malaria, yellow fever and dengue.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Definitely, yes.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00That is the mosquito.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03The mosquito for dengue fever.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Well played, Vesey Peasy. Bad luck in that Final Round.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Memorable round from you, Will, in that head-to-head.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23You used some interesting techniques to get through, put it that way!
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- Best of luck with all your studies. Keep watching Eggheads and spread the word!- BOTH: Thank you.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33You won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47£5,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
