0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:39are The BBs. This team have been friends for over 50 years
0:00:39 > 0:00:44and still find time to occasionally quiz together in and around Sussex.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hello. I'm Tim. I'm 63 and I'm a consultant.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm John. I'm 64 and I'm a retired financial analyst.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello. I'm Terry, I'm 63 and I'm a retired office manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Mike. I'm 63 and I'm a retired financial planning manager.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hello, I'm Paul. I'm 63 and I'm a hospital radio production manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Welcome to you, BBs.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Now, tell me about the team name and where it originates from.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17As you say, we've known each other for 50 years,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and about 40 years ago, when we were of an age to drink,
0:01:20 > 0:01:25we used to meet up in the saloon bar of a pub called The Burrell Arms in Haywards Heath.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29We became collectively known as the Burrell Boozers
0:01:29 > 0:01:35but after a few years this seemed incompatible with our dignity and status in the community,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39so it got shortened to BBs, which is the name that stuck.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41OK! Is The Burrell Arms still there?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- It is still there but we haven't been there for five years.- Have a reunion.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I think we might ask them to sponsor us.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53If you win the money, you can treat the Eggheads to a half of shandy down there, perhaps.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55We'll have a quiz down there.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Every day there is £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06BBs, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09which means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And shall we play, then, our first head-to-head?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The chance to knock an Egghead out is on the subject of Music.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Who'd like to play this one?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Who'd like to start with Music?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Paul?- Want me to do it?- Yes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24OK, I'll do it, Dermot.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- All right, Paul. Choose an Egghead, please.- Who do you think?- Judith?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Yes.- Judith, please.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33OK. Well, you've obviously got something of a game plan there.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Let's see if you're able to stick to it as the game progresses.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Certainly this is the first part of it.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Paul against Judith on Music. Into the Question Room, please.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Kick us off, Paul. Tell me, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53First question, Paul.
0:02:53 > 0:03:00The title of the 2005 top 10 single for Kaiser Chiefs was I Predict A what?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07The title of the 2005 top 10 single for the Kaiser Chiefs was
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I Predict A what?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Kaiser Chiefs are named after, I think, a South African football team
0:03:14 > 0:03:20and the hit I remember of theirs is I Predict A Riot.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23That's your answer. It's correct. Of course, I Predict A Riot.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Judith.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29"Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer? Losing my timing this late in my career"
0:03:29 > 0:03:32are lines from which Stephen Sondheim song?
0:03:36 > 0:03:37"Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40"Losing my timing this late in my career"
0:03:40 > 0:03:43are lines from which Stephen Sondheim song?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46You can sing it out loud if you like.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I don't think you'd enjoy it.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I think it's Send In The Clowns.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Yes, it is.- Thank goodness for that.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55OK, Paul.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01In 1982, Dame Janet Baker retired from her successful career in which role?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I don't think she was a conductor.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13It's a question of whether she was a concert pianist or an opera singer.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- I think I'll go for opera singer. - Opera singer.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18It's the right answer.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Good stuff, Paul. And Judith.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27In 2012 whose song Reach For The Stars was broadcast on Mars
0:04:27 > 0:04:30via NASA's Curiosity rover vehicle?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Oh, gosh, I don't know.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41It's not the sort of song that Will.i.am sings, is it?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- I think it might be Robbie Williams.- Robbie Williams?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Reach For The Stars?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50No, it's not Robbie Williams. Other Eggheads, do you know?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Will.i.am.- It is Will.i.am.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Oh, it is Will.i.am. Oh.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Yes, blasting out to those Martians. Hiding still, but we'll find them.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It means you've got a good chance here, Paul, to get through to the final round.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Just one correct answer books it for you. Here you go.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Which creator of US animated TV sitcoms starred
0:05:12 > 0:05:18in a 2012 Proms concert at the Royal Albert Hall singing material from Broadway musicals?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Which creator of US animated TV sitcoms starred
0:05:24 > 0:05:27in a 2012 Proms concert at the Royal Albert Hall
0:05:27 > 0:05:32singing material from Broadway musicals?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Well, the only one I really know is Matt Groening
0:05:35 > 0:05:40because he's the Simpsons creator. Not sure about the other two.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Um, I think I'll go for Trey Parker.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Trey Parker for a place in the final round.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51It's on hold. It's not the right answer.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55No, it's Seth MacFarlane. It's the one you really weren't thinking of.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Judith has a chance then to draw level
0:05:59 > 0:06:01and take us into Sudden Death.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Which Irish-born recording artist was formerly
0:06:03 > 0:06:06a member of the electronic music duo Moloko?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Which Irish-born recording artist was formerly
0:06:13 > 0:06:15a member of the electronic music duo Moloko?
0:06:15 > 0:06:20I've never heard of any of those so a pure guess.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26I've no idea. Dolores. Let's try Dolores in the middle.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Dolores O'Riordan.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31No! It's not. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Roisin Murphy.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Roisin Murphy.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37So, didn't matter, Paul,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39with you not getting Seth MacFarlane.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41You're in the final round anyway.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Judith only amassed one correct answer and you got two.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Come back and join your teams.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51A great start for The BBs. They're all still intact.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55One Egghead gone. We move on to our second head-to-head today
0:06:55 > 0:06:56and this one is Sport.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I suspect there's a few of you there who like sport.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- Who'd like to play? - That will be Terry.- Terry? OK.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Choose your Egghead. It can't be Judith.- It'll be Chris.- OK.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- I abide by my captain's decision. - This really is a well-oiled plan.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15It worked perfectly in the first round. Let's see if it works in this one.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Terry and Chris playing Sport from the Question Room, please.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Terry, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29OK, first question is this.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Which football club did Michael Owen join in September 2012?
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- Which football club did Michael Owen join in September 2012?- Stoke City.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42It is Stoke City.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45That's all we require, a correct answer. And Chris.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Thom Evans, famous for modelling and his romantic attachment
0:07:49 > 0:07:53to Kelly Brook, played which professional sport for Scotland?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Thom Evans, famous for modelling and his romantic attachment
0:07:59 > 0:08:03to Kelly Brook, played which professional sport for Scotland?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Well, I don't think there's much badminton played in Scotland,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08let alone professionally.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13And the same goes for basketball, unless he's about seven foot tall.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17But they do play a lot of rugby union so I'll go with rugby union.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21OK, just on professional there. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23And Terry, second question.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26The county ground of Somerset County Cricket Club is in which town?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I've been there. It's Taunton.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33There's no arguing with you!
0:08:33 > 0:08:38I'm loving the way these correct answers come, straight out.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40No point messing around if you know it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42And Chris, which American tennis player
0:08:42 > 0:08:45announced his retirement at the 2012 US Open?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Well, the only one I've heard of is Andy Roddick,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54so that's what I'm going to have to go with.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Andy Roddick is the right answer.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Knocking these correct answers back and forth very quickly.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Like a tennis match. I'm getting a sore neck here moving between you!
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Terry, third question.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Who was the captain of the United States team for the 2012 Ryder Cup?
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Who was the captain of the United States team for the 2012 Ryder Cup?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21This is the one where everybody's shouting at the screen
0:09:21 > 0:09:22because this isn't my sport.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Davis Love.- Davis Love?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Is the right answer, yes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Disappointed Davis Love.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37You've got three. Chris needs this, then.
0:09:37 > 0:09:44Which Formula 1 official was appointed FIA race director in 1997?
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Which Formula 1 official was appointed FIA race director in 1997?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Ooh. I think that was Jean Todt.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03That means that is the demise of your challenge
0:10:03 > 0:10:06in this edition of Eggheads, Chris. It's not.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Do the other Eggheads know?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Charlie Whiting.- Charlie Whiting.
0:10:10 > 0:10:16So another member of The BBs cruises into the final round.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Apart from that third question, Terry,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21you really did cruise in there.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Could you both come back and join your teams?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Well, The BBs have taken this game by the scruff of the neck.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Well, taken two Eggheads by the scruff of the neck and thrown them out of the game.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32We've lost two brains on the Eggheads.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36The BBs are all still here and our third head-to-head
0:10:36 > 0:10:39is Arts & Books. Who would like to play this one?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Well, we fingered Mike to play this one.- Wow.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45It really is sticking to the game plan so far. Mike, OK.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Who are you going to take on from the Eggheads,
0:10:47 > 0:10:52bearing in mind Chris and Judith have played? So you can play Pat, Barry or Daphne.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57The game plan was to play Kevin but he's absented himself from this.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- He's obviously scared.- Barry?- Yeah. - Barry.- I'll take on Barry.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Mike and Barry playing Arts & Books in the Question Room, please.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Mike, we won't reflect on what's gone before.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12We'll just concentrate on this. Do you want to go first or second?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I'll go first, please.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Arts & Books, first question.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Who is the central character of the book that starts with the line
0:11:23 > 0:11:26"all children except one grow up"?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Who is the central character of the book that starts with the line
0:11:32 > 0:11:34"all children except one grow up"?
0:11:35 > 0:11:42Well, the obvious one to me, the boy who never grew up,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44was Peter Pan.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- I would say Peter Pan is the answer. - Peter Pan.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50And when they write about Barry, that'll be the same line!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Peter Pan is correct.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Barry, the renowned playwright Edward Albee was born in which country?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06The renowned playwright Edward Albee was born in which country?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10He wrote that wonderful play Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I believe he was American, so that means he was born in the USA.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Born in the USA, yes! To coin a phrase. Right answer.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20And Mike, second question.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25In which role was Merce Cunningham a significant figure of the 20th century?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Yes, I think I know this one.
0:12:31 > 0:12:37I think he was a rather modernist avant-garde type
0:12:37 > 0:12:40and I'm pretty certain he was a choreographer.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Choreographer is correct. Well done.
0:12:45 > 0:12:462-1.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Barry, what is the name of the Japanese writer
0:12:48 > 0:12:53who committed ritual suicide after a failed coup attempt in 1970?
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Oh, yes, this was the man who held extremely right-wing views in Japan,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07which were then out of vogue. It was Mishima.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08It's the right answer.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Good quizzing. It's two all.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15Third questions coming up for both of you. This is Mike's.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Which term was applied to a group of post-war British sculptors
0:13:18 > 0:13:24that included Elisabeth Frink, Kenneth Armitage and Eduardo Paolozzi?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Which term was applied to a group of post-war British sculptors that
0:13:33 > 0:13:38included Elisabeth Frink, Kenneth Armitage and Eduardo Paolozzi?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Hm. Er...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I don't know this one, I'm afraid.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Ooh...
0:13:48 > 0:13:52I don't think it would be algebra.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I'm really going to have to guess on this one, I think.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I would guess Formula Of Peace.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Formula Of Peace for that group of post-war sculptors.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09It's not the formula for a correct answer. No. Barry, do you know?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- I would have gone for Algebra Of Desire.- What?!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Well, it wouldn't have been that either.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I wonder if you can tell me, Daphne. I can tell you.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- Its Geometry Of Fear. - It's the Geometry Of Fear.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Well, that's removed any fear from Barry facing this question.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Should he get it wrong it won't be terminal
0:14:29 > 0:14:31but get it right and he's in the final round.
0:14:31 > 0:14:38Which artist's award-winning 1926 painting of 16-year-old Cissie Barnes from Newlyn
0:14:38 > 0:14:43was toured to New York and across Britain and was bought for the nation by the Daily Mail?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Which artist's award-winning 1926 painting
0:14:51 > 0:14:55of 16-year-old Cissie Barnes from Newlyn was toured to New York
0:14:55 > 0:14:59and across Britain and was bought for the nation by the Daily Mail?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Right. The Newlyn school featured a lot of famous artists.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I think Ben Nicholson was one of the famous ones.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11I'm trying to remember which of those three was part of the Newlyn school.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I have a suspicion that was Laura Knight, so that's my answer.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Other Eggheads, what do you think? - Dod Proctor?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's Dod Proctor.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23So it goes to Sudden Death.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Both slipped up there on your third questions
0:15:27 > 0:15:30and just to remind you, Mike, we're taking the choices away.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Here's your question.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Rose of Sharon is the name of a major character in which 1939 novel by John Steinbeck?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Rose of Sharon is the name of a major character
0:15:41 > 0:15:46in which 1939 novel by John Steinbeck?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Er, well, the one that springs instantly to mind...
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Let's see. He did...
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Grapes Of Wrath?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59The Grapes Of Wrath is the right answer, yes.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Barry, which children's book character is described as having
0:16:04 > 0:16:09knobbly knees and turned-out toes and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Which children's book character is described as having knobbly knees
0:16:13 > 0:16:17and turned-out toes and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Goodness me. Knobbly knees and turned-up toes?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Turned-OUT toes.- Out toes.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29I think I might become an honorary member of The BBs after this. A Beaten Barry!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Oh, I am struggling with this.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I don't know. Tom Tom the piper's son.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Tom Tom the piper's son.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Barry, legions of our younger viewers are saying,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46"He's not that bright, that Barry off Eggheads. I can beat him."
0:16:46 > 0:16:49They would be quite right as well on this.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53You are the BB. It's bye-bye, Barry. Other Eggheads?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- The Gruffalo.- The Gruffalo.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57SHE GROANS
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- Julia Donaldson. - He hasn't got grandchildren.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02The Gruffalo.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Which means another BB is through.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I didn't think you were going to make it, Mike, after that third one.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- I bet you didn't think you were going to do it.- I didn't.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- I was very fortunate with the Sudden Death one.- Well played.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16It means you are in the final round. No place for Barry.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Please come back and join your teams.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Barry, I thought you were going to sit with the BBs.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- You said you were an honorary BB, the Beaten Barry.- Yes, indeed.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31As it stands, the BBs are all intact.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Three Eggheads have bitten the dust.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Our last subject before the final round, the last head-to-head,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40is Science. Who'd like to play this?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- That's me. - We have a resident scientist.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44OK, John. Daphne and Pat are trembling.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47What's going to happen to them?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Will they be humiliated like the other three?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51HE CACKLES
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- You're enjoying this, aren't you? - Of course.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I don't see it too often. - HE LAUGHS
0:17:57 > 0:17:59All right, who are you going to play, John? Daphne or Pat?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04- I'd be delighted to take on Daphne. - All right, Daphne.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Ooh, she likes a challenge.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Let's have John and Daphne into the Question Room, please.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Can you make it a clean sweep, John? No pressure!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I'd like to go first, Dermot.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- Are you calm there, Daphne? - Yes. I can only do my best.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30That's all you can do. John, first question.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Which of these solar system planets is closest in size to Earth?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Which of these solar system planets is closest in size to Earth?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Well, Jupiter is well-known to be the largest planet.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50I think Saturn is pretty big as well so I'm going to go for Venus.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Venus is the right answer, yes.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Daphne, in which decade were compact discs first sold?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05In which decade were compact discs first sold?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08That was the 1980s.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Yes, indeed. Both off to an assured start.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18And John, the order of mammals called the lagomorphs contains which of these creatures?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Let me see. "Morph" means form, I believe.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27"Lago" means... I've no idea.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Sounds like a lake. So on that basis I'm going to opt for seals.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34OK! Right.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Um... Seals.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It's not. Do you know, Daphne?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Rabbits.- Rabbits.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44What's the linguistic root there that John was struggling with?
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- What is the "lago", do you know? - No!- OK.- I just know it's rabbits.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49That'll do.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51You don't get a point for it obviously,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54but you did know it. This is your second question.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56What is the atomic number of the metallic element gold?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Gold is 79.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Yes, it is. Right.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08You've got your nose in front
0:20:08 > 0:20:12but will John come back at you? He needs this.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15John, a composite particle called a hadron
0:20:15 > 0:20:18is made up of which type of elementary particles?
0:20:22 > 0:20:27OK, examples of hadrons would be protons and neutrons, I think,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30but what are they made up of?
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Um...
0:20:31 > 0:20:36I think... Oh, goodness. I think they may be quarks.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Quarks? It's the right answer. You're still there.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Little bit of pressure then, Daphne.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- SHE CHUCKLES - Oh, you like it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49What is the common name for the small UK bird called Aegithalos caudatus?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55It's not a wren.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Could you spell the first word?
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Aegithalos. A-E-G-I-T-H-A-L-O-S.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Oh, dear.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Sorry, team, I'm only guessing.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Long-tailed tit.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22I remember you getting a question on the great tit wrong before.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- I got that wrong. - Got knocked out, didn't you?- Yes.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Aegithalos caudatus is the long-tailed tit.- Oh!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Crucial question for Daphne.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36You've made it into the final round. Bad luck, John.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Those of you who lost the head-to-heads won't take part in this round,
0:21:50 > 0:21:54so just John from The BBs and Chris, Barry and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Would you leave the studio, please?
0:21:57 > 0:22:02Tim, Terry, Mike and Paul, you're playing to win The BBs £5,000.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Daphne and Pat, you're playing for something which money cannot buy,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09the Eggheads' reputation. They've taken a beating so far.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14The questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18One of the differences, the big one, you are allowed to confer in the final round.
0:22:18 > 0:22:25BBs, the question is - are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two? Tiny two.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28And BBs, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Going first has worked so far, so we'll stick with it.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38OK, best of luck, BBs. First final-round question.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Which fruit is dried to make a sultana?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Which fruit is dried to make a sultana?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Is it not plum that makes prunes? The plum makes prunes, doesn't it?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Plum makes prunes, certainly.- It's a grape, isn't it?- It's not cherry.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- It's not a cherry, no. - The plum makes prunes.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- So logic of elimination.- Grape? - We'll go for grape, Dermot.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Grape is the right answer, yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Eggheads, which actress joined the cast of Coronation Street in 2012,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14playing a character called Gloria Price?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Which actress joined the cast of Coronation Street in 2012,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25playing a character called Gloria Price?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Well, of those three,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31the only one I've heard of in Coronation Street is Sue Johnston.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I mean, Joan Collins? No.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Anita Dobson?- No.- OK.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- I'm sure it's Sue Johnston.- OK.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Um, Sue Johnston. Dermot.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Is the right answer. Well done, Pat and Daphne.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Actually, well done, Daphne. You didn't know it, did you, Pat? OK.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Well, that goes to show the value of your victory, Daphne, in the head-to-head.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59And second question for The BBs.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Rolfing is a form of what?
0:24:04 > 0:24:10Rolfing. R-O-L-F-I-N-G. Rolfing is a form of what?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- I don't know that.- I don't.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- Do you think it could be... - Don't think it's swimming.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Doesn't seem likely to be swimming.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23- I don't know.- Seems unlikely to be massage. It's a very strange word.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Could be a special word for massage.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30I wouldn't think so, just in terms of...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Rolfing. Rolfing along on the crest of a wave.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Painting?- Shall we go for painting?
0:24:36 > 0:24:42- The least implausible seems to us to be painting, Dermot.- OK, painting.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47Rolfing. There are all kinds of techniques, aren't there?
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Is it, Eggheads?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50It's a massage.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Yes, it's a massage. What do you do?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I think... I'm not quite sure
0:24:56 > 0:25:00but I always got the impression that you sort of rolled something.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Oh, yes, I see, rolling something.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- You were trying to demonstrate on Pat, weren't you?- Yes!
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Rolfing. Lovely. All right.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Let's see how you do with your second question.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15After working in Madrid and Paris, where did Oscar De La Renta
0:25:15 > 0:25:20establish his own fashion label in 1965?
0:25:22 > 0:25:27After working in Madrid and Paris, where did Oscar De La Renta
0:25:27 > 0:25:30establish his own fashion label in 1965?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35He's from the Dominican Republic, I think. That doesn't help us, really.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40- No.- My immediate reaction would be New York.- And mine.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- I don't think it's London.- No.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Milan versus New York.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49He's a big stylist in New York.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I have a feeling he's married to an American.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57So New York would be logical.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59There are lots of designers based in New York.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04- Shall we go for that?- Yes, yes. - We're going to go for New York.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06New York for Oscar De La Renta.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10You have that lead.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Is it going to be a crucial lead?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Well, this question is crucial for The BBs. You need to get this.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Which Parisian landmark is at the eastern end of the Champs Elysees?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Which Parisian landmark is at the eastern end of the Champs Elysees?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- It's Place de la Concorde. - Arc de Triomphe is at the other end.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It's Place de la Concorde.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Place de la Concorde is the right answer.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40So you've just got that blot
0:26:40 > 0:26:44in the middle, which means you've got to cross everything you've got
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and hope the Eggheads don't get this.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51For whom did Thomas Coram establish a hospital in London in the 18th century?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58For whom did Thomas Coram establish a hospital in London
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- in the 18th century? - Foundling children.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Coram's Fields.
0:27:02 > 0:27:08- Yes, and I think William Hogarth did a portrait of him.- OK.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Yes.- OK, fine.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14We're going to say foundling children.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Foundling children.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19It's the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Well, well played, BBs.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I think if we count up the number of questions in the entire quiz,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33you probably beat the Eggheads but you didn't beat them where it counts,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36where the money is won and lost, in the final round.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Crucial to it was Daphne's victory in that head-to-head
0:27:39 > 0:27:41just on that Coronation Street question.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- Pat might have worked it out. - Might have.- We never know.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50BBs, thank you very much for playing so ably against the Eggheads today,
0:27:50 > 0:27:54as three silent Eggheads bears testimony to.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57And maybe we'll all meet back in The Burrell Arms,
0:27:57 > 0:28:02see if they've got a quiz and get the Eggheads to get the drinks in.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:15 > 0:28:19And join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23£6,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
