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?

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits

0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths are...

0:00:35 > 0:00:38This team of colleagues all work

0:00:38 > 0:00:42for the same shipping line in Liverpool - let's meet them.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hi. I'm Nick. I'm 42. I'm a customer services manager.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi. I'm Peter. I'm 31 and I'm an internal audit manager.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm Paul. I'm 49 and I'm an accounts assistant.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello. I'm Dean. I'm 42 and I'm a credit manager.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello. I'm Bob. I'm 64. I'm the company quality manager.

0:00:59 > 0:01:04Welcome to you, Ship Mates. Ship Mates because of the work. You socialise, I hope?

0:01:04 > 0:01:07We've done quizzes together. That's a good thing.

0:01:07 > 0:01:12- We've won a few, different combinations.- How competitive are they? Pub quiz or...?

0:01:12 > 0:01:16It's company quizzes. Yeah. We've won a few in the company.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20- I know they're going to be competitive!- Yes.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22- LAUGHTER - Let's play the game.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34So, Ship Mates, the Eggheads have won the last five games.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38£6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40The first head-to-head is Geography.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Who wants to play this?

0:01:42 > 0:01:45You're going for that one? Yeah.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48OK. Paul, I reckon...

0:01:48 > 0:01:50What do you think?

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Chris. Yeah? Yeah.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57I'll take that one, Dermot, and I'll take on Chris, please.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01- All right. Chris, you're delighted. - Absolutely.- Playing Sport.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Yeah. We can have a long chat about the dockers' umbrella.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- LAUGHTER - Right. Not too long.

0:02:08 > 0:02:14Let's have Paul and Chris into the Question Room, so you can't confer.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Let's get the Ship Mates under steam.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21- Paul, do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first please, Dermot.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25Your first question.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29The Nubian Desert is in the northeast of which African country?

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Hm. It's not one I know.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Um...

0:02:38 > 0:02:43I think I might go for Judith's trait here and go for Sudan.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44It works!

0:02:44 > 0:02:50- What's Judith's trait?- When she doesn't know, she pops to the right.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52- LAUGHING:- It's the right answer!

0:02:54 > 0:02:56All right! Chris...

0:02:56 > 0:03:02Which island group lies about 1,000 miles directly west of the Portuguese capital, Lisbon?

0:03:06 > 0:03:10The Faroe Islands are up towards Iceland, so it's not them.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14The Canary Islands are a bit too far south, off the coast of Africa.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18- So it's the Azores. - It is the right answer.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Good start, Paul.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Medan is the largest city on which Indonesian island?

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Medan - M-E-D-A-N.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Hm! Wish I'd never been put into Geography now!

0:03:33 > 0:03:35CHUCKLES

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Again, it's going to have to be a guess on my part, Dermot.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- I think it may be Java.- OK.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45- I see you're edging across, as you guess.- I am.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48When you don't know, it's the way to go.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52You should have swung the other way. It's Sumatra.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56See what Chris does.

0:03:56 > 0:04:03Footscray, Toorak and Moonee Ponds are suburbs of which Australian city?

0:04:05 > 0:04:08AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: Moonee Ponds is where Edna Everage is from.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10It's Melbourne.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Thank you for the Melbourne accent. Needs a bit of work.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18But you got the right answer. It means you need this, Paul.

0:04:18 > 0:04:23Hartsfield-Jackson, often cited as the world's busiest airport in terms of passenger numbers,

0:04:23 > 0:04:27is about ten miles from which US city?

0:04:30 > 0:04:36Um... I seem to remember hearing something about Chicago O'Hare,

0:04:36 > 0:04:39but I'm just not too sure.

0:04:39 > 0:04:44Philadelph...? Yes. I'll go again with Chicago.

0:04:44 > 0:04:50OK. But as you said there, O'Hare and this is Hartsfield-Jackson.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Which is in Atlanta.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Which means the round is over. Chris has two points.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01You can't beat that, Paul. No place in the final round.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:05:04 > 0:05:10After the opening round, the Ship Mates have lost one brain. The Eggheads are all still here.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Our next subject...it's Politics.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Who fancies a go at this one?

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Away to you, Mr Brown! - PETER: You were our Politics man.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Definitely saw it on the sheet.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Who do you think?

0:05:23 > 0:05:26I reckon you should go for Barry.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31OK, I'll take Politics, Dermot, and I'll play Barry.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35It's going to be Dean and Barry playing the Politics round.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38You know where to go - the Question Room, please.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Dean, Politics, how are you with this subject?

0:05:41 > 0:05:46It's not the strongest of my subjects and not of the team's.

0:05:46 > 0:05:51This was the Achilles' heel and I've drawn the short straw. Let's see how we get on.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first please, Dermot.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Good luck, Dean.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03What term refers to a candidate for the leadership of a party

0:06:03 > 0:06:07who stands in order to potentially allow a stronger candidate to come forward?

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Right, well, I've no idea on this.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19I don't know any of these. Nothing looks familiar.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Tracking pig, I'm going to rule out.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26I'm going to go straight down the middle at hunting dog.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Haven't heard of it. Gone for hunting dog.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32- What do you think, Barry? - I think it's a stalking horse.

0:06:32 > 0:06:37It is a stalking horse. Barry, this is your question.

0:06:37 > 0:06:44George Bush senior's famous line during his 1988 Presidential bid was "Read my lips. No new..." what?

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I think this has gone down in American lore.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Don't you just love it when a politician says, "Read my lips"?

0:06:54 > 0:06:59- He was talking about taxes.- And when he was elected, famously had to...?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Increase taxes.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05"Read my lips. No new taxes." Yup. It's the right answer.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07You have a lead.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Which country's parliament is known as the Supreme People's Assembly?

0:07:14 > 0:07:19It sounds very much like North Korea to me. I don't think it's Russia.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- I think it's North Korea. - North Korea.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26Supreme People's Assembly. It's the right answer.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34In May 2010, David Cameron and Nick Clegg announced the Conservative-Lib Dem coalition

0:07:34 > 0:07:38at a joint press conference in which part of Downing Street?

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I remember this conference.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46I believe that everything was smelling of roses!

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- It was in the rose garden. - It is the rose garden.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53You need this, Dean.

0:07:53 > 0:07:59The budget box that was retired in 2010 was first used by which Chancellor of the Exchequer?

0:08:04 > 0:08:09It's either Gladstone or Lloyd George.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14I think, um...

0:08:18 > 0:08:22I'm not 100% sure about them two, either! I'm going to go for...

0:08:22 > 0:08:24David Lloyd George.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28David Lloyd George, the budget box, the old red box?

0:08:28 > 0:08:30The very battered red box.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34I think it was retired and then brought back by Gordon Brown.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38I think he got some apprentices to make him one then brought it back

0:08:38 > 0:08:40and it finally retired in 2010.

0:08:40 > 0:08:45Anyway, the original was used by... Lloyd George, Barry?

0:08:45 > 0:08:50No. I think it was almost the original Gladstone bag - Gladstone.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Yeah. It's William Ewart Gladstone for that budget box. That old!

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Which means Barry's through.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59You're in the final round. Bad luck, Dean.

0:08:59 > 0:09:04You won't be playing there. Would you both please join your teams?

0:09:04 > 0:09:08The Eggheads have struck fairly rapidly in those first two head-to-heads.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Means the Ship Mates are two members of the crew down.

0:09:12 > 0:09:18The Eggheads are all there, but we've got plenty of quizzing to do. Our next category is Sport.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Which of the three of you left?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Finally got something!

0:09:23 > 0:09:27I think we should. I'll definitely take Peter on Sport.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Peter? I'll take Sport, yeah.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35All right, Peter. Who would you like to play - Kevin, Judith or Pat?

0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Sorry, Judith, but it's going to have to be you.- She's delighted.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44She loves it(!) Let's have Peter and Judith into the Question Room.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Peter, you were the unanimous choice to play this.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51- What are your favourite sports? - I'm a big football fan.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55I've had a season ticket for Liverpool since I was nine or ten.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59I've seen a lot with them. Quite keen on golf as well.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Do you want to go first or second?

0:10:01 > 0:10:06It's not going well so far, but I'll continue with first please, Dermot.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Good luck, Peter.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14The tennis player Stefan Edberg was born in which country?

0:10:16 > 0:10:19A good start for me. I think I know this one.

0:10:19 > 0:10:24Grew up watching the likes of him and Boris Becker around that era.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27I would say it was Sweden, please.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Yeah. Sweden is the right answer.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's a doubly good one for you.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36You deprived Judith. She does like tennis questions.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40You elected to take that set of questions so Judith has got this.

0:10:40 > 0:10:45Who would be most likely to make use of a take-off box in their sport?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- A take-off box?- Yeah.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Well, divers have take-off boards.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59And figure skaters just have an ice rink. They don't take off anywhere.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04- It must be a pole vaulter. - Pole vaulter. Yes. Correct.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Peter, your second question.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10In 1949, the American Sam Snead became the first person

0:11:10 > 0:11:13to be awarded which coveted item of sports apparel?

0:11:17 > 0:11:19OK. Another good one, I think.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Rule out yellow jersey, as that's Tour de France.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Black belt is obviously karate or something like that.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31- It's green jacket please, Dermot. - Green jacket.- Yeah.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Why did he win it? - He won the Masters.- Yeah. Indeed.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38US Masters. It's the right answer.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45What is the overall width of a wicket on a standard cricket pitch

0:11:45 > 0:11:47formed by positioning three wooden stumps?

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Well, let's think. We can do some maths here, Dermot.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- I SO enjoy your counting, Judith. - JUDITH LAUGHING

0:11:59 > 0:12:03If you get over ten, you have to take your socks off!

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Well, I mean... A stump is about an inch, isn't it?

0:12:07 > 0:12:12Yeah. I think 12 is too many.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Have to have that much in between. Let's think...

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- I should think it's nine inches. CHUCKLING:- OK.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22LAUGHING

0:12:23 > 0:12:25What?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28How did you work that out? By...?

0:12:28 > 0:12:32Well, a stump is about, I should think, an inch. Hang on!

0:12:32 > 0:12:35An inch. Then it's got about two inches in between.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38OK. Yeah. Nine inches.

0:12:38 > 0:12:44- It's the right answer, Judith. - See? Maths works.- It does.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47You're both quizzing very well.

0:12:47 > 0:12:54Peter, what is the title of the work first published in 1791 that records the breeding records

0:12:54 > 0:12:57for thoroughbred horses in Great Britain and Ireland?

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Again, I think I know this one.

0:13:07 > 0:13:12I do like watching horse racing occasionally, so I should...

0:13:12 > 0:13:17In fact, one of my family is quite into it, so I should get this.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20I think it's the Wetherbys Guide to Foals.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Wetherbys.- Yeah. - It's not the right answer.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- OK. Oh, dear.- Judith, do you know?

0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Have a guess.- I should think it's the General Stud Book.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34- It is the General Stud Book. - Oh, right.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36You get into the final round, Judith,

0:13:36 > 0:13:38with a correct answer here.

0:13:38 > 0:13:44The Kenyan runner Peter Rono - spelled R-O-N-O, his surname -

0:13:44 > 0:13:47won gold in which event at the 1988 Olympics?

0:13:50 > 0:13:54The Kenyan runners are very good at long distance.

0:13:54 > 0:14:00So I think I'm going to rule out 400 metres, hoping for the best.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05I think it's the marathon.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Peter Rono won gold in the...

0:14:07 > 0:14:11- in the 1500 metres.- Oh, dash it!

0:14:11 > 0:14:14No, it wasn't a dash. That's quite long, too.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Which means we go to Sudden Death.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20First time in the game. I'm sure you know it, Peter.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24You don't see any more choices until we sort out a winner.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Your Sudden Death question is this.

0:14:27 > 0:14:33In 2011, who took over the captaincy of the Australian Test cricket team from Ricky Ponting?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Um...

0:14:38 > 0:14:43I think it was one of the Husseys, but I'm not sure which one.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Um... I will go for...

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Michael Hussey.- OK, Michael Hussey.

0:14:50 > 0:14:56It's not the right answer, Peter. Judith, do you mind if I skip past you or do you want to have a go?

0:14:56 > 0:15:01- I don't want to have a go. You can skip past me! - Anyone in the studio tell me?

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- SHIP MATES: Michael Clarke. - We got it from all sides.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Michael Clarke, Peter.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Judith, a chance to take the round.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11And...it's on tennis.

0:15:11 > 0:15:16Which tennis player won his sixth end-of-season championship in 2011

0:15:16 > 0:15:20in a match that was also his 100th career final?

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Well, I suppose he's quite old.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26- His sixth end-of-season...?- Yeah.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31His sixth end-of-season championship in 2011,

0:15:31 > 0:15:34in a match that was also his 100th career final.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38I'm not quite sure what "championship" means in that case.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Whether it's a Grand Slam championship. I suppose...

0:15:43 > 0:15:49Well, if it meant a Grand Slam match that means it's the American Open.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54And who won it? I think it was Djokovic.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58- I always need a first name and a surname.- What the hell is his name?

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Oh... What is his name?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Um...

0:16:06 > 0:16:11Oh! What is his name? I'm in a panic now cos I can't remember his name.

0:16:11 > 0:16:17I'd just like to record to the nation that if Djokovic is right, I do know who won it!

0:16:17 > 0:16:21Well, it's not Djokovic. Let's end it there.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Thank goodness for that! - Novak Djokovic, by the way.- Novak!

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Anyone tell me?

0:16:27 > 0:16:30- KEVIN: Federer. - Roger Federer, Judith.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Did he win the Open...?- No, no. It didn't say Grand Slams.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39- He couldn't have been in 100 Grand Slam finals! - No, that's true.- 100th career final.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41OK, Peter.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44The Oakwell Stadium,

0:16:44 > 0:16:50with a capacity of approximately 23,000, is home to which north of England football club?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Finally, a football question.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55I've never been there but I know it's Barnsley.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57That's right. Barnsley.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Judith,

0:16:59 > 0:17:02if you get this wrong, you've lost the round.

0:17:02 > 0:17:09The Amsterdam school teacher Nico Broekhuysen is credited with inventing which game in 1901?

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Broekhuysen.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16SIGHS

0:17:16 > 0:17:18What could he have done?

0:17:18 > 0:17:221901? What on Earth was invented in 1901?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Cheese rolling. I don't know.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30Um... What else do the Dutch do?

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Canal racing.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35LAUGHTER Canal barge racing.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39There is a sport which is canal skating, isn't there?

0:17:39 > 0:17:44There's a canal skating race. I have absolutely no idea.

0:17:44 > 0:17:49Um... I'm going to say the canal skating race.

0:17:49 > 0:17:54- OK.- I don't know what it's called. - Canal skating, cheese rolling.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58- They were all wrong. You're wrong. - Am I surprised(?)

0:17:58 > 0:18:01- LAUGHING:- No. Does any Egghead know?

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Korfball.- It's Korfball.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Never heard of it. - Eggheads can explain.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10- You have mixed teams - four men, four women.- It's similar to what?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Basketball. "Korf" means "basket" in Dutch.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Korfball.

0:18:16 > 0:18:22What an entertaining round that was, with a great outcome for the Ship Mates.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24You're in the final round, Peter.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28Would you both please join your teams?

0:18:29 > 0:18:33Having a great time here. The Ship Mates having a better time!

0:18:33 > 0:18:36One Egghead gone. Two Ship Mates, though.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40Our last head-to-head before the final round is Film & Television.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Who fancies a go at this?

0:18:43 > 0:18:48- That'll be me this time. - Who would you like to play? It's so long since we had a pick.

0:18:48 > 0:18:53That round went on so long! Judith, Chris and Barry have played. You've got Kevin or Pat.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57Are you happy for me to go for it? I think I should go for it.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Go for it.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02- My lifetime ambition. Kevin, please. - You have it!

0:19:02 > 0:19:07Let's have Nick and Kevin into the Question Room for Film & TV.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11Nick fulfilling an ambition to take on Kevin.

0:19:11 > 0:19:17- Do you want to go first or second? - After Peter did so well, I'll go first as well, please.

0:19:20 > 0:19:26Good luck to you, Nick. Who starred as the title character in the 1997 film Donnie Brasco?

0:19:30 > 0:19:33I've heard of it but I haven't seen it.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36As a film buff, that really isn't a great answer.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40But I'm going to cross out Harrison Ford.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43I don't think it sounds like a Tom Cruise film.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45I'm going with Johnny Depp.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Johnny Depp as Donnie Brasco? It's the right answer.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53You knew enough about the other two to work out that it was Johnny Depp.

0:19:53 > 0:19:58Bomber Busbridge played by Pat Roach and Dennis Patterson played by Tim Healy

0:19:58 > 0:20:01were characters in which 1980s comedy drama?

0:20:05 > 0:20:10They were two of the building site gang in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14Is the right answer. Back to you, Nick.

0:20:14 > 0:20:19Which comedian plays the hapless history teacher Mr Wickers in the sitcom Bad Education?

0:20:23 > 0:20:27Once again, I haven't seen it. But I've seen trailers for it.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30I'm pretty sure Russell Howard hasn't done any acting.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34I'm a big fan of Lee Mack, so I'm pretty sure it's not him.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36I'm going to go with Jack Whitehall.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Is the right answer. Well done.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44Which actor, who appeared regularly in the 1960s Batman TV series,

0:20:44 > 0:20:48played the trainer Mickey Goldmill in the Rocky series of films?

0:20:53 > 0:20:57I'm trying to remember who he played in Batman. Was he the Penguin?

0:20:57 > 0:21:00I can't remember. Anyway, it's Burgess Meredith.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03He WAS the Penguin. Had a cigarette holder.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08It's the right answer. Well done. Good quizzing.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11On the children's television programme Sesame Street,

0:21:11 > 0:21:15what is the full name of the numerically obsessed count?

0:21:19 > 0:21:21That's taking me back quite a few years.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25I'm definitely going to cross out Count Upp to start with.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Leaving me with the other two.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31- HE SIGHS - Let me think.

0:21:33 > 0:21:38For the man who likes numbers, I'm going to go for Count von Count.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Count von Count. Your degree's in maths, isn't it?

0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Just! Yeah. - LAUGHTER

0:21:44 > 0:21:49- You got this. I don't think that has any bearing on it.- Didn't cover it.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51- It's the right answer. - Well done, Nick.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Kevin, you need this.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59In what era is the 1967 Julie Andrews musical Thoroughly Modern Millie set?

0:22:04 > 0:22:08It's set in the flapper era of the 1920s.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11That's the correct answer and, as I suspected,

0:22:11 > 0:22:15we're heading into Sudden Death. Both players going really well.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Nick, your Sudden Death question.

0:22:17 > 0:22:24In the film Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy plays a detective who normally operates in which city?

0:22:24 > 0:22:27In the film Beverly Hills Cop,

0:22:27 > 0:22:33Eddie Murphy plays a detective who normally operates in which city?

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Right. I've gone completely blank.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39I can see the film. I can see him in it.

0:22:39 > 0:22:40SIGHS

0:22:40 > 0:22:44I'm going to have to have a complete guess and say New York.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47New York, and obviously he transplants to Beverly Hills.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Where did he come from?

0:22:49 > 0:22:53New York is the wrong answer. Do you know, Kevin?

0:22:53 > 0:22:57- Detroit.- It's detroit.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59It's not Kevin's question.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01This is your question, Kevin.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05Mosfilm, established in the 1920s,

0:23:05 > 0:23:07is a film studio based in which country?

0:23:07 > 0:23:14Mosfilm, established in the 1920s, is a film studio based in which country?

0:23:14 > 0:23:18Well, the Mos is for Moscow, so it's what was then the Soviet Union,

0:23:18 > 0:23:20now Russia.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Is the correct answer, Kevin. You've got through.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26I suppose you suspected, Nick,

0:23:26 > 0:23:30- if you make a mistake against this man...- Yeah.- ..it can be terminal.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34And it has. No place in the final round for Nick, but good quizzing.

0:23:34 > 0:23:40Got into Sudden Death against Kevin. Would you both please join your teams?

0:23:40 > 0:23:45So this is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:23:48 > 0:23:50won't take part.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Nick, Paul and Dean from the Ship Mates

0:23:53 > 0:23:57and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?

0:23:57 > 0:24:01So, Peter and Bob, you're playing to win the Ship Mates £6,000.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Chris, Barry, Pat and Kevin,

0:24:04 > 0:24:08you're playing for something which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:24:08 > 0:24:14I ask each team three questions in turn, all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19Ship Mates, the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Dermot.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30The final round starts now with this question, Ship Mates.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34Which businessman married Priscilla Chan in 2012?

0:24:38 > 0:24:43Well, as far as I know Warren Buffett and Donald Trump are still

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- happily married men.- Mm-hm.

0:24:46 > 0:24:51- Yeah.- So... - Shall we rule them two out?

0:24:51 > 0:24:55I would think we'd be safe with Mark Zuckerberg.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- He's the guy that invented Facebook, I think.- Yeah.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01OK? Mark Zuckerberg please, Dermot.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan

0:25:05 > 0:25:09married in 2012 - it's the right answer and a good start.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13What name was used by Neil Armstrong for the landing site on the moon

0:25:13 > 0:25:16where the Apollo 11 lunar module touched down?

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Tranquillity Base, isn't it?

0:25:24 > 0:25:27That's Tranquillity Base.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31It's the right answer. OK, Ship Mates.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34"Fuerte" is a popular variety of which food?

0:25:37 > 0:25:40F-U-E-R-T-E, "fuerte".

0:25:40 > 0:25:43- I wouldn't think it would be potato. - I wouldn't say potato.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46That's far too European and English.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49So we're stuck between avocado or radish.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53- It sounds a bit exotic, doesn't it? - You're going to the avocado?

0:25:53 > 0:25:57- I'm thinking so. - That seems the most one to match.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01- We say avocado please. - Avocado for "fuerte".

0:26:01 > 0:26:04It's the right answer.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Going well.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09In the Shakespeare play Hamlet who kills Polonius?

0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Hamlet stabs him through the arras. - Hiding behind the arras.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Hamlet himself?

0:26:17 > 0:26:21- That was Hamlet himself. - He was stabbed in the...?

0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Hiding behind the arras. - Which was a type of curtain.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Could be painful, that!

0:26:27 > 0:26:30It is the right answer, Hamlet.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33This is a good final round.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37Ship Mates, the album Snap, Crackle & Bop,

0:26:37 > 0:26:39featuring the track Evidently Chickentown,

0:26:39 > 0:26:42is part of the output of which performance poet?

0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Any idea?- No idea whatsoever. - I'm absolutely clueless.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Never heard of any of them. - So, what do you suggest?

0:26:55 > 0:26:58We're going to have to have a guess.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02Maybe we need the one with the most swinging type name.

0:27:02 > 0:27:07- We'll go down the middle?- We believe it's Murray Lachlan Young.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09For Snap, Crackle & Bop.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12- What do you think, Eggheads? - John Cooper Clarke.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16It's John Cooper Clarke with Snap, Crackle & Bop.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Leaves you vulnerable here.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21You've just got to hope the Eggheads don't get it.

0:27:21 > 0:27:26Which singer became best known for being lead vocalist with the band The Kills?

0:27:29 > 0:27:33Well, Justine Frischmann is with Elastica.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Karen O, wasn't she the Yeah Yeah Yeahs?

0:27:36 > 0:27:39She's best known for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44By a process of elimination, it's got to be Alison Mosshart.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46We're going for Alison Mosshart.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50- Do you agree, Chris?- Possibly, yeah.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53It is the right answer, Eggheads.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55You've won.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04Bad luck, Ship Mates. Just too good for you in the end, those Eggheads.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07But good quizzing, particularly by you, Peter.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10That round against Judith will live in the memory for a while!

0:28:10 > 0:28:14Great fun having you here. Best of luck with all the quizzing.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20I'm afraid you won't be going home with that £6,000.

0:28:20 > 0:28:26The money rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:26 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34£7,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
