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 > 0:00:28Welcome to the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - they are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38This team of friends are all connected
0:00:38 > 0:00:42through the same football team based in Warrington. Let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Hi. I'm Pete. I'm 40 and I run a printing company.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Neil. I'm 45 and I'm a painter and decorator.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Graeme. I'm 28 and I'm a business trainer.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello. I'm Mike. I'm 35 and I'm a sales executive.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Neil. I'm 40 and I'm a technology engineer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Welcome, Canaries. You're from Warrington. You're the Canaries.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10- So, nothing to do with Norwich? - No. Wrong end of the country!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Why the Canaries, then? You wear yellow shirts?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16When we first started, we didn't have a kit.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20The only thing we could rustle up was seven yellow shirts.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25My brother-in-law said, "You look like a bunch of canaries." And the name stuck.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28It wasn't high-vis jackets, was it?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Do you do any quizzing? We know about the football.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36We occasionally go to the local pub, the Plough, have a few pints and answer some questions.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- Mainly wrongly, but...- Get a few right and you might win the money. I'll tell you how much.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52So, Canaries, the Eggheads have won the last seven.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55So £8,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Our first head-to-head battle is going to be on Science.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Who'd like to open for the Canaries?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Science. Stick with the plan? - Yeah.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Stick with the plan. That'll be me, Dermot.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15- And...- Go Pat?- Yeah. Pat or Judith? Pat.- Go Pat.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20- I'll try and take Pat on, please. - Graeme and Pat, into the Question Room, please.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Good luck, Graeme, kicking off for the Canaries.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first please, Dermot.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Good luck, Graeme.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36First question coming your way.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42What term is used to refer to the condition of a slow heart rate, below 60 beats per minute?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Below 60. So, it's to do with the heart.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Sciatica, I think, is to do with your nerves.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Neuralgia sounds like it could be to do with the brain.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Purely on the basis of "cardia",
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I'm going to go with bradycardia, I think.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Right to do so. It's correct. Good start.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14What type of scientific establishment is located more than 4,000 metres up,
0:03:14 > 0:03:19at the top of the dormant volcano Mauna Kea in Hawaii?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Because of its height and the thin air,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31it's a near perfect spot for observatories,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35and various giant telescopes are housed up there.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37So, it's observatory.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Not a good spot for a nuclear power station?- Ah, well!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- You can put them anywhere. - Probably not there.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50It is the right answer, observatory. Graeme, second question.
0:03:50 > 0:03:56Which part of the Space Shuttle was the only element not to be routinely reused?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Not to be reused? Um...
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I could see them reusing a fuel tank.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Payload bay, I couldn't even fathom what that is.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I can't imagine a rocket booster being reused,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20so I'm going to go with solid rocket booster.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23All right, it's not. It's incorrect.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27It was the only element NOT to be routinely reused,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30which was the external fuel tank.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33The external fuel tank is what we wanted.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Pat, as seen on a plant leaf, what is a stoma?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I think it's the Greek for "mouth".
0:04:44 > 0:04:48It's a little pore through which the plant transpires
0:04:48 > 0:04:50and does all sorts of things.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- It's pore. - Greek for "little mouth"?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- For "mouth". I think so. - Coming out of your big mouth.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Pore is correct. Gives you the lead.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03And, Graeme, third question.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07What does a helminthologist study?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- I'm going to spell it. I suspect you want me to.- Please.
0:05:15 > 0:05:22H-E-L-M-I-N-T-H-O-L-O-G-I-S-T. It's all one word.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Helminthologist? - What does a helminthologist study?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Eggshells. Would somebody study eggshells?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I'm drawn towards parasitic worms, I don't know why.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I'm going to go with the worms, please, parasitic worms.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Don't know why you're drawn to parasitic worms.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Maybe you're just thinking about the Eggheads.- Maybe.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51You've got those images in your mind.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55It's the right answer, too! Well done!
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Still work to do, Pat, if you are to win. If you don't get this, we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05What colour is the element barium?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I don't know.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15A great many elements in the middle of the periodic table
0:06:15 > 0:06:18are invariably described as "silvery-white" metals,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22but I don't know if barium is one of them.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26It's over to the left in one of the first couple of columns.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I don't know.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33On the basis that quite a few elements are silvery-white,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I think that's the percentage answer, silvery-white.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38On percentages.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Showing your Egghead-like thinking, it is the correct answer, Pat.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45You've won the round. Bad luck, Graeme.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Did fairly well but, of course, Pat did very well.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53You won't be playing in the final round. Please come back and join your teams.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59One Canary gone. All the Eggheads still there. We haven't gone very far.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Let's go further with our next head-to-head. A-ha! You'll like this, I'm sure.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Who wants to play? Can't be Graeme.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09ALL CONFER
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Who do you want me to take on?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Shall we go Chris? >
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Yeah. >
0:07:15 > 0:07:17OK. I'll go and I'll play Chris.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22I think you've got a plan. You've thought this through. Hoping for Sport.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Just hope it works.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Let's hope it does for you. It's going to be Mike and Chris playing the sport round.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Into the Question Room, please.
0:07:32 > 0:07:38Let's see if you can go the whole hog here, Mike, and knock Chris out on Sport.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- What are your tactics? First or second? - I'd like to go first please, Dermot.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Best of luck, Mike. Here's your question.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53In fencing, what French word is traditionally used by a competitor
0:07:53 > 0:07:56to acknowledge that a hit has been made?
0:07:59 > 0:08:04OK, well... Not familiar with bisque associated to fencing.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Um...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Peloton is generally the...
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I think it's the name given to the actual...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16area in the Olympics that fencing's around,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20but touche is the one that I recognise as the one where...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Yeah. Touche.- Touche!
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Literally "touched". It's the right answer. Well done.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Chris, in horse racing, what name is given to an investigation
0:08:32 > 0:08:35into the events of a particular race?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42The last hope of losing punters! It's the stewards' enquiry.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Stewards' enquiry, you think. It's the right answer.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48No need for a stewards' enquiry there.
0:08:48 > 0:08:55Mike, in which part of the world is UNCAF an association of local national football teams?
0:09:00 > 0:09:05OK, um... I think I'm going to rule out central Africa.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11Cos I think that's CONCACAF, or along those lines - I think.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Um...
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Central Asia, I'm not sure. I'm being drawn towards Central America.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- I'm going to say Central America. - Central America.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Is the right answer. Well done, Mike. Particularly well done.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28If you didn't know the central Africa one...
0:09:28 > 0:09:32I play along when I first see the questions to see if I know it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35With the F in there, you're drawn to Africa.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I'm sure a lot of you thought that but Mike, well done.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42You've got two out of two.
0:09:42 > 0:09:48Chris, for which team did Pastor Maldonado drive in the 2012 Formula 1 season?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Maldonado sounds like an Italian name,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57not that that's anything to go by.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00The only Italian team there is Ferrari.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- That's what I'll have to go with. - Other Eggheads, what do you think?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- KEVIN AND JUDITH: Williams. - It's Williams, Chris.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Makes that second answer from you
0:10:09 > 0:10:12look all the better, Mike.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15You get into the final round with a correct one here.
0:10:15 > 0:10:22Which West Indian bowler broke Mike Gatting's nose during a 1986 one-day cricket international?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I do remember this. Um...
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Question is, which of those bowlers was it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Joel Garner, known as Big Bird. Don't think it was Joel.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Um... Or the Whispering Death, Michael Holding.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I'm pretty convinced that it was Malcolm Marshall.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Going for Malcolm Marshall breaking Mike Gatting's nose.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Looks like he's had his nose broken a few times! This was one of them.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Was it Malcolm Marshall in 1986?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Yes, it was. It's the right answer. Well done, Mike.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Well done, Mike. No need to put another question to Chris!
0:11:01 > 0:11:05He remains silent in the Question Room - fuming silently.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:09 > 0:11:15It's all-square now. Both the Canaries and the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Round three, and this one is Geography.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Who'd like to play this?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23ALL CONFER
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Who do you want me to take on?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Judith?- What about Kevin?
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- Kevin?- It's up to you. Yeah? - I'll take Kevin on.- OK. Yeah.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36You're really unconcerned. You'll take any of them on!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Let's have Neil and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46Neil couldn't wait to get into the Question Room and take on the mighty Kevin in Geography.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52You've got a one in 12 chance of beating him. He's played 36 and lost three during Eggheads.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55That's the kind of man he is. So modest.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Just a little expression as I mentioned that.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03You know it's going to be hard work. Do you want to go first or second?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I think I'll go first.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Good luck, Neil.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12First Geography question is this.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Bridgwater and Taunton are towns in which English county?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I think I know this, to start with.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I know it's not in Kent.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27And I know it's not in Norfolk, which only leaves Somerset.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Indeed. It's the right answer. Yes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Kevin, the Lesser Antilles is a group of islands in which sea?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43They're called "Lesser" because they're the smaller chain of islands
0:12:43 > 0:12:45in the Caribbean.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Correct answer. Yup.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Another pair of questions. Second question, Neil.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Where would one be most likely to see a type of hill known as a pingo? P-I-N-G-O.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Well, seeing as it's a hill, I'm guessing it's not in a basin.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I'm not sure of the other two.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- I'm going to go with the Sahara desert.- Sahara desert.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19You could have a hill in a basin, if it's a big basin.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23It's not the Amazon. It's not the Sahara, though.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26It is the Arctic. Pingos.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32- I thought it was Pingus. - That's a little penguin. - That'll be the Antarctic.- Yeah.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Kevin, chance for the lead. What is the official currency
0:13:35 > 0:13:40of the British military enclave of Akrotiri on the island of Cyprus?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I think they would use...
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Cyprus used to have the Cyprus pound,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50but then it signed up to the euro.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Because the British military bases are small enclaves within Cyprus,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58the logic is it would be the euro.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00OK, the euro.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Logic proving right. It is correct.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05So, you have a lead.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Neil, you need to get this.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Sebastopol is a sea port in which country?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Well, they're all on the Black Sea.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Georgia's only a small little place.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Sebastopol.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I don't really know, Dermot, so I'm going to go...
0:14:30 > 0:14:31with Romania.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Sebastopol, a sea port in...
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Ukraine.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Sorry, Neil. Didn't get it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45And that's enough to see you exiting the game, I'm afraid.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50Kevin's through to the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:14:50 > 0:14:55So, the Canaries have lost two brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59There's a pattern developing. They strike first. You strike back.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04You have to win our last head-to-head before the final round, and its Music.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07There's only Pete or other Neil.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Who wants to play? - I'll do it if you want.- You do it.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Pete.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- I think I'm going to do it, Dermot. - You've got Barry or Judith.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Barry?- Yeah.- Barry.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- I'll play Barry, please.- All right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Barry's pleased about that. Pete and Barry into the Question Room, please.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Pete, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first please.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It's Music, first question.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41What is the title of pop group One Direction's debut album?
0:15:44 > 0:15:49- Are you a fan, Pete?- I'm not, but my daughter's a massive fan.- Good.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54- I think I know.- You'd better get it right.- She'll kill me if I don't.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I think it's Up All Night.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01- It's the right answer. Yes. - LAUGHS
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- She'll be very happy. What's her name?- Emily.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Well done, Emily, helping her dad by getting that.
0:16:08 > 0:16:16And Barry, which group had a UK Top Ten in 1980 with De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I remember this very well. I'll save you from singing it.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- It was The Police.- It is The Police.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Identified that very successfully. It's level-pegging
0:16:28 > 0:16:32after those first questions. Second question for Pete.
0:16:32 > 0:16:38Let's Get Serious was a 1980 UK hit single for which of the Jacksons?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I'm not sure La Toya had any hits.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I'm stuck between Janet and Jermaine.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51It might be early for Janet, so I'm going to go with Jermaine.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Jermaine Jackson. We ARE getting serious.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56It's the right answer.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Matching Barry with his knowledge of music of 1980.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Which song from the musical High Society contains the lines,
0:17:07 > 0:17:12"Have you heard? It's in the stars. Next July we collide with Mars"?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Ah.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22# Have you heard? It's in the stars Next July we collide with Mars
0:17:22 > 0:17:26# Well, do you evah? What a swell party this is. #
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Well, Do You Evah?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32You thought you'd got away with it.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Yeah. Who said Frank Sinatra's not with us any more?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Well, Did You Evah? It is the right answer.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Thankfully - we don't have to go through the other ones.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44This is great quizzing. It's all-square.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46This is for you, Pete.
0:17:46 > 0:17:54Which French composer became organist at the famed Church of the Madeleine in Paris in 1857,
0:17:54 > 0:17:59an association that lasted for 20 years?
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Don't think Emily can help you with that one!- Wouldn't have thought so.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13I've got to be honest, Dermot, I have not got a clue.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I've heard of Debussy. I've not heard of the other two.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'm going to have to take a guess.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Because it sounds a bit Frenchy, I'm going to say...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- STRUGGLES WITH PRONUNCIATION: - Camille Saint-Saens.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31That one, yeah! We've lit it up. We know what you mean.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35You've gone for that "because it sounds a bit Frenchy"?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- LAUGHING - They all sound a bit Frenchy,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41in all honesty.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Pete, we like your honesty - and you got the right answer!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Who cares how you got it? Camille Saint-Saens.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Well, Barry, crucial question.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56What is the real first name of the guitarist Ry Cooder?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Ooh. I like Ry Cooder. I listen to his music quite often.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06But I'm struggling to remember his first name.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10I don't think it's Rydan. It's either Ryman or Ryland.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Something at the back of my mind is telling me it's Ryland.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17It could equally be Ryman but I'll go for Ryland.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I hear he's interested in stationery and opened a chain of shops.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26It IS Ryland. It's the right answer. Well done, Barry.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29That means we go for the first time to Sudden Death.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33No choices, that's all. Same formula. Here you go.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38Ringleader Of The Tormentors and You Are The Quarry
0:19:38 > 0:19:41are solo albums by which British singer?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'm not 100% sure...
0:19:44 > 0:19:48but my brother-in-law is a massive Smiths fan.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I've got a feeling it's Morrissey.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Normally we need a first name and a surname, but we don't in this case.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's the right answer - Morrissey.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Your family's really helping you out!
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Just as well you listen to the music they listen to.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Morrissey, right. In pole position again.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Barry, the only UK Top Ten single for Whistling Jack Smith
0:20:12 > 0:20:18was in 1967 with a song called I Was Kaiser Bill's... what?
0:20:18 > 0:20:23I used to be able to whistle this, but over the years my ability to whistle has sadly diminished.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I believe it was I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- What do you mean "sadly"? - I enjoyed whistling. It was a fun activity.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- I'm sure YOU did, Barry. - I didn't have to listen to myself.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40We don't want you whistling along to I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman. It's the right answer, well done.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Anyone else can just remind us of it?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45CHRIS WHISTLES THE SONG
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Got it.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Chris isn't bad at it, you know. Kaiser Bill's Batman.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Another pair of questions. Pete, you're going really well. Keep it up.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Which jazz musician, who died in 2010,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03wrote theme tunes for the TV shows Tomorrow's World and The Avengers,
0:21:03 > 0:21:07as well as scores for films including The Servant and Modesty Blaise?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Um... Jazz isn't one of my strong points.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I must admit, I don't know.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19I'm just going to have to pluck out one of the only jazz people I've ever heard of -
0:21:19 > 0:21:24I don't even know if he's dead - and say Acker Bilk.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Acker Bilk. Good guess. It's not right.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31It's an incorrect answer. Does Barry know?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- No. I'm afraid I don't know this one.- Oh!
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Oh, dear. I'm sure the other Eggheads will.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Laurie Johnson. Johnny Dankworth.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Not from Chris. It's from Kevin. John or Johnny Dankworth.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Well, a crack in Pete's armour
0:21:47 > 0:21:50gives Barry a slim chance here.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55Which English musician and composer best known for his instrumental work
0:21:55 > 0:21:59had hit albums in the UK in the 1970s with Hergest Ridge,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Ommadawn and Incantations?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06I believe Hergest Ridge was the follow-up to Tubular Bells.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- It was Mike Oldfield. - I bet YOU had them, didn't you?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- I certainly did. I still have. - Of course you did.
0:22:12 > 0:22:19Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn and Incantations. Pete knew it as well. It is Mike Oldfield.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Bad luck, Pete.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25You would have been a real bonus to the team if you'd made it.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:28 > 0:22:33This is what we've been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is...
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Those who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So we lose Pete, Neil and Graeme from the Canaries
0:22:41 > 0:22:45and Chris from the Eggheads - would you all please leave the studio now?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Mike and Neil, you're playing to win the Canaries £8,000.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something which money can't buy - your very reputation.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02The questions are General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Which means, Mike, your victory was important in that head-to-head.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Gives Neil someone to talk to there! Neil endorsing that!
0:23:09 > 0:23:14The question is, Canaries, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17What do you want to do, go first or second?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- First.- Can we go first please, Dermot?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Let's get on with it. The Canaries electing to start.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29General Knowledge, first question.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34For what does the letter G stand in the name of the fuel LPG?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- I think it's gas. - It's the most obvious one.- Yeah.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- Um... You happy with that? - Yeah. Definitely.- OK. Go on.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I think that's gas, Dermot.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- The other two might make a bit of a mess of your engine!- Yeah.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54It is. Can you give me the L and P?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Liquid petroleum? - Liquefied Petroleum Gas.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Well done.
0:23:59 > 0:24:05Eggheads, what name is given to the backward springing action of a gun that occurs when it's fired?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Recoil?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- That's recoil.- Recoil is correct, Judith, well done.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Knowledge of weaponry from Judith. And it's all-square.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Second question, Canaries.
0:24:19 > 0:24:25In 1972, Fay Maschler became the restaurant critic of which newspaper?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Do you know?- I'll be honest, no. - Right.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Well, I think...- It might... - Can I talk?- Go on.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I reckon I read it in the Evening Standard that she retired recently.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Oh, right. - On the way home on the train.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Go for it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48I think that I read recently in the Evening Standard
0:24:48 > 0:24:50that she'd retired.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53So we'll say the Evening Standard.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58It's the right answer. Well done. Well remembered from that article.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Eggheads, then.
0:25:01 > 0:25:07Sally Lockhart is the central character in a series of four novels by which author?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Philip Pullman, OK?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I'm not sure on this one.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Philip Pullman. - Philip Pullman you think.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24You KNOW. It's correct, Eggheads. Back to the Canaries.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Coming into English via French,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31from what language does the word "caravan" originally derive?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- Again, I've got...- No idea. - Have you got any idea?- No.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- I think possibly it could be Hindi. - I was. I was.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Well, we're both drawn towards it. - Yeah.- Just have a go.- OK.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51We're not quite sure but we're both drawn to the same answer.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53We shall say Hindi.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Hindi, and both drawn to it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59You're both wrong. Eggheads, do you know?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Persian.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I think it derives from "caravanserai",
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- stopping places on the Silk Road when they reached Persia.- Ah, OK.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Then we get caravan from that.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13It's Persian, not Hindi.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15An opening for the Eggheads.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19In what year did the first official Edinburgh Military Tattoo take place?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25It might be 1850, Victorian Scotland.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31I remember seeing them when I was five or six.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33And that was WELL before 1950!
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Unfortunately, that would be around '53 or '54.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Any thoughts, Pat?- Has it got anything to do with the Festival?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44That was my only thought. The Festival started 1947.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Has it got any linkage at all? I've no idea.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Well, I don't know.- It now takes place during the Festival.- Yeah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54I'm not aware of it going back beyond...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57My first gut reaction was I was looking for '47 up there.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00So '50 might be possible, actually.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03You both think it is that, 1950,
0:27:03 > 0:27:07rather than Queen Victoria being interested in Scotland?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10My first instinct when they came up was 1950,
0:27:10 > 0:27:14but I may be entirely wrong, it may go back much...
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- I don't know either. - ..further than I thought.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- So which would you like to go for? - 1950, I'd say.- OK.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25- We're going to risk it and say 1950. - The answer is...
0:27:25 > 0:27:281950. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Bad luck, Canaries. You know what proved to be decisive,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39listening to that discussion on that last answer from the Eggheads,
0:27:39 > 0:27:43was the Neil versus Kevin - Neil in the Question Room -
0:27:43 > 0:27:46the Neil versus Kevin head-to-head,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49which unfortunately, from your point of view, Kevin won.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52But fortunately for the Eggheads he steadied the ship there.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56The rest of them might have dived in on 1850.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01It means you've failed to beat the Eggheads today, but heads held high!
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- You quizzed well and I hope you've had a great time.- Super time, yeah.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Good to see you, Canaries, and best of luck with the football and the quizzing.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18You won't be going home with the £8,000. The money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Eggheads, congratulations. Hitting a bit of form here. Who will beat you?
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Join us to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29£9,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
