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 > 0:00:35And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:42This team of friends are associated with the University of East Anglia's pool team.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Daniel, I'm 29 and I'm a chemistry student.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Ross, I'm 22 and I study meteorology and oceanography.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Sam, I'm 20 and I study chemistry.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Thomas, I'm 22 and I'm a lettings administrator.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Torr, I'm 21 and I study climate science.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Welcome to you, Pool Sharks.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Is this a...
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Does the pool team just play within the university or do you play other universities?
0:01:08 > 0:01:13We go a couple of times a year to pool championships outside of the university.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- In general, though, it's an internal club.- Yes.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20We've also, this year, just started in a local league,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22so playing other teams around Norwich,
0:01:22 > 0:01:27largely unsuccessfully so far! DERMOT LAUGHS
0:01:27 > 0:01:29And quite social, as well, is it?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33A chance to, erm, hydrate yourself, a bit, let's say?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Very much so. Very much so.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40At times almost, the pool comes as a secondary, erm,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42secondary to the social aspect.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44As long as you don't spill it on the table.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Oh, very, very protective of the table.- Absolutely.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50And you do a bit of quizzing while you pool or after you pool?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Generally, once a week, we go up to the graduate bar
0:01:54 > 0:01:59and do their quiz, with varying results.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02But, certainly, we have done well. Yet to win it, I'm afraid.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Well, there's only one outcome we're looking for here -
0:02:05 > 0:02:07if you want to get the money, you've got to win.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21which means £8,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:21 > 0:02:28Let's see how you do. We will open the game with a round on Sport.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Who wants to knock an Egghead out?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- I'd be happy to put you in, Ross. - I think Ross.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Is this in the hope that one of the...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- ..one of your categories won't come up later?- Well, yes.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- I don't mind. - Or we could stick Torr in.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- I think Ross.- Yes.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I'd like to do Sport, Dermot, please.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47All right, you can, Ross. Choose an Egghead.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50They're all as good as each other. Let me think.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Let's go with Judith, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56You didn't have it think about that!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59OK, it's Ross and Judith on Sport.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Into the Question Room, please.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06OK, Ross, you've been put in there to blaze a trail for The Pool Sharks.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09You're cueing off. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'll go first, Dermot, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17OK, Ross, first question.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19What was the name of the dog
0:03:19 > 0:03:23that found the football World Cup after it was stolen in 1966?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I'm pretty sure of the answer.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I'm pretty sure he found it in a bush, in a park,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33from what I can remember.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'm pretty sure the answer is Pickles.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Pickles. Right answer. Well done.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Judith, your first question.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44In which year did Graham Gooch first play Test match cricket for England?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Well, he goes back a bit, doesn't he?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I think probably about 1975.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58OK, 1975, you think, for Graham Gooch.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00It is the right answer.
0:04:00 > 0:04:011975, Judith.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03All square.
0:04:03 > 0:04:09Which American golfer won seven majors between 1922 and 1935?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Right, well, I play a lot of golf.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21I know Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus are quite high on the majors list.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25And I have a feeling Gene Sarazen was up there, as well,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27so I'll go for Gene Sarazen.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Gene Sarazen is the right answer.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Impressive, Ross! Impressive, I must say!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35OK, Judith,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37which rugby union team won the Heineken Cup
0:04:37 > 0:04:40for the third time in four years in 2012?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Erm...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I'm afraid this passed me by.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I don't think it's Stade Francais.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I think it might be Leinster.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56It's the right answer, yes, Judith.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Impressive, too.- It was rather! - Yes, it was!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01OK, Ross,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Yamile Aldama,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06who won a triple-jump gold medal for Great Britain
0:05:06 > 0:05:09at the 2012 World Indoor Championships,
0:05:09 > 0:05:10was born in which country?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Whether she was born in Cuba, I don't know,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18but I'm pretty sure she represented them at some stage,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- so I'll go for Cuba.- Cuba.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Ross, what are you studying? - I'm a meteorology student.- OK.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Are you paying any attention to your studies or do you just watch sport?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I watch a lot of sport, Dermot, yes!
0:05:31 > 0:05:33It's the right answer! Well done!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- TEAMMATES: Yes!- Cuba.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Three out of three. A tricky couple, those last two.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Judith, you need this.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44George Foreman retired from boxing for a decade
0:05:44 > 0:05:47after losing to which fighter in 1977?
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I think that might be Shannon Briggs.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57OK. Shannon Briggs.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59What do you think, Dave?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I think, at the time,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05of those boxers, I think Jimmy Young was around at that time
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- so I'd go with Jimmy Young myself. - OK.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It is not the right answer, Judith.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12It's Jimmy Young.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Jimmy Young.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I'm sure Ross would've known that. Such a good quizzer on Sport.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It'll be general knowledge in the Final Round.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I think you'll be quite useful to The Pool Sharks.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24You will be playing in that round.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Watch out, Eggheads. Ross is going to be in the Final Round.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35They haven't lost any brains. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Our next subject is History.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Who wants to play this? It can't be Ross.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- I'll take it.- Are you sure?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Go for it.- Yes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I'll take it on, Dermot.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Who would you like to play? It can't be Judith.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I don't know.- What about Dave? - I would say Dave.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'll take on Dave, please.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58All right. Thomas and Dave on the History Round,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01in the Question Room, please.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04So, Thomas, you get to choose, do you want to go first or second?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12First question to you, Thomas.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Which of these English historical figures was born first?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Er... I'm just having a look at it and trying to think through.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29To be honest, I'm not really sure who William Wilberforce was.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Erm...
0:07:31 > 0:07:36So... I can't really rule him out because obviously it's just via time.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I'm just going to go for William Caxton, please.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42It is the right answer. You've got it anyway.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45OK, Dave, your question.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Josephine Baker, who was born in the USA in 1906 but later became a French citizen,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53achieved fame in which field?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Oh!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Entertainment.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I didn't expect to see that in a History Round.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04What kind of entertainment, Dave?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I think she was a singer-dancer, wasn't she?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09It's the right answer. Well done.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Thomas,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16when he was fatally injured in 1908, Thomas Selfridge -
0:08:16 > 0:08:21thought to be the first person to die as the result of a crash involving a powered plane -
0:08:21 > 0:08:24was being flown by which aviator?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I know obviously the Wright brothers were the first people to fly.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I don't know if that's Orville Wright or not.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Erm...
0:08:36 > 0:08:41I actually read a book about aviation when I was a lot younger,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44so it's not quite...
0:08:44 > 0:08:46..quite stuck. Erm...
0:08:46 > 0:08:51I'm going to go for Charles Lindbergh.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53OK. Charles Lindbergh.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55You were on the right track with Orville Wright.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00It's the date there - 1908. It's Orville Wright.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04OK, Dave. When he was arrested in 1910,
0:09:04 > 0:09:09which criminal was accompanied by his lover, Ethel Le Neve, who was disguised as a boy?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15That's Dr Crippen.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Hawley Harvey. Dr Crippen.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Dr Crippen is the right answer. You need this, Thomas.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24The Praetorian Commander Macro
0:09:24 > 0:09:29is said to have been responsible for smothering to death which Roman Emperor in 37 AD?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I'm just trying to think through
0:09:34 > 0:09:37the time periods of different Roman emperors.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39HE SIGHS
0:09:39 > 0:09:43To be honest, it's going to have to be another punt.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I'm going to go for Augustus.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49OK. Augustus, smothered to death by Macro...
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Do you know, Dave? Is it Augustus?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- I would've gone Tiberius. - It's Tiberius.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Tiberius. That's smothered, snuffed out your challenge, Thomas.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Dave's in the Final Round.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08That makes it all square. Both teams have lost one brain from the Final Round.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Our third head-to-head today is Film & Television.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Who'd like to play this one?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Daniel, Sam or Torr. - I think Sam should do it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Give it a go.- Are you happy to do it? - HE SIGHS
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Bane of my life!
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- Think how many films you've seen. - You've watched loads of films!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29All right!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- I'll take it, please, Dermot. - All right.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Choose from Daphne, Kevin or Pat. - Er...
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I will take Pat.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39All right. On Film & TV,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42quite a strong suit for him, but they're all strong, as you know,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Sam and Pat, then, into the Question Room.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Sam, do you want to go first or second?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I'll go second, please, Dermot.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57All right, it's Pat starting, then.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Here's your question.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Which actor starred in the films
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Bird, Platoon and The Last King of Scotland?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10They're all formidable actors.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13This chap has also done TV work.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16He appeared in The Shield in an astonishing turn.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18It's Forest Whitaker.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Forest Whitaker is the correct answer.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22OK, Sam, your first question.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep played a divorcing couple in which film?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33OK, erm...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I haven't actually seen this film,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40but I'm going to go with Intolerable Cruelty.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Maybe not intolerable
0:11:42 > 0:11:46but I'm going to be cruel and tell you it's not the right answer.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Pat? - I think that's Kramer vs Kramer.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Kramer vs Kramer.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Pat, a chance for a bigger lead here.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59The first episode of which series in 1965 featured an investigation
0:11:59 > 0:12:05into the possibility of a recently launched space probe discovering life on Mars?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Well, erm, they're all long-running programmes.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Panorama tends to be more general politics, perhaps.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Horizon and Tomorrow's World are both good candidates,
0:12:20 > 0:12:25but on the basis that I've seen old-looking episodes of Tomorrow's World, I'll go with that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29OK! Old-looking episodes. Do they go back as far as '65?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32They do. It's the right answer.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35It means you need to get this, Sam.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39The sentence "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy",
0:12:39 > 0:12:43typed repeatedly onto dozens of sheets of paper,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46appears in a defining scene in which film?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Er, right, I have seen this film
0:12:52 > 0:12:54so hopefully I'll get this right.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's The Shining.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00It is The Shining, yes. Well done, Sam, you have a point,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03but Pat can knock you out here.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05The doll that replaced Hamble
0:13:05 > 0:13:10as one of the regular dolls on Play School in the 1980s was given what name?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I've not been a loyal viewer of Play School,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I must admit.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I can certainly remember Hamble.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Who would've replaced Hamble?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28They can call a doll what they like, really,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30within the limits of decency.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I've no recollection of seeing this doll in action.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Of the three, Poppy sounds perhaps the jolliest.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I'll go for Poppy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Poppy, because it sounds jolly.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- It's Play School. It's perking up little children.- Absolutely.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Poppy is the right answer. Replaced Hamble in the 1980s.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54We need to replace you, Sam, in the Question Room.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55You're not in the Final Round.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01The Eggheads have pushed on.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06Two members of The Pool Sharks have gone from the Final Round and the Eggheads have lost one.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09What will happen with our last head-to-head?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11This one's Music. You've got two players left,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Daniel or Torr.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15You know how bad I am at music!
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- It's going to be you.- Put it this way, it's not going to be Dan.- No.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It'll be me, then.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24You can play Kevin or Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Who do you think?- VARIOUS: Daphne.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I'll go for Daphne.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35Let's have Daphne and Torr into the Question Room, please.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Torr, do you want to go first or second?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I think I'll go first.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Best of luck, Torr. Here's your first question.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Which 1962 novelty hit for Bernard Cribbins
0:14:48 > 0:14:51about two removal men causing increasing damage
0:14:51 > 0:14:53as they try to manoeuvre a large item
0:14:53 > 0:14:55is called "Right Said..." who?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Fred, I'm pretty sure.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Yes, it is. That's the song. Right Said Fred.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Of course, later on, we then had Right Said Fred the band.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Daphne, your first question.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09In the early 1980s,
0:15:09 > 0:15:14which singer was known for a trademark white stripe painted across his face?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I think that's Adam Ant.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Adam Ant is the correct answer.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Torr, the lead singer of The Killers, Brandon Flowers,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31had a solo number one album in the UK in 2010 with what title?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37OK, well, I love The Killers,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40but I didn't really like his solo stuff.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I'm not 100 percent sure on this,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45but I'm pretty sure it's not Condor.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Between Pelican and Flamingo, I'm heading towards Flamingo.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Flamingo.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54It's the right answer, yes.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Two out of two.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Daphne, in 2005,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02a life-size bronze statue of which musician was unveiled in central Dublin,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04the city in which he grew up?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I think Phil Lynott was Irish,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13so that's my answer.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17It's the right answer, yes. Well done, Daphne.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Two each. Good quizzing.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Torr,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24in the musical Pal Joey, what is Joey's surname?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I think Joey Jones sounds a little bit silly
0:16:30 > 0:16:33so I'm going to rule that one out.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37I'm going to go down the middle,
0:16:37 > 0:16:39because I think the previous two have been the middle,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42so Williams, please.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Third time, you hope, third time lucky.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Joey Williams...
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I'll just defer to Daphne. She knows a lot about musicals.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I would've gone for Evans.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Yes, Joey Evans.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59So nothing there and a gap in your defence.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Here's Daphne.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Which soul group was formed in Philadelphia in the 1960s
0:17:04 > 0:17:08from members of The Percussions and The Monarchs?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I haven't heard this.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Soul group...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Erm...
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Well, I guess, erm...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26..The O'Jays.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28The O'Jays.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32From The Percussions and The Monarchs came forth...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- ..The Stylistics. - Oh, that was the other one!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37That's the one you were thinking of.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39We go to Sudden Death. A let-off there, Torr.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43In Sudden Death we remove the choices.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46We've just got to hear an answer from you.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48"Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
0:17:48 > 0:17:51"'Bout your plans to make me blue"
0:17:51 > 0:17:56is the opening line to which song, a UK hit for Marvin Gaye in 1969?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I don't know, I'm sorry.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Marvin Gaye, 1969...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- No, not a clue.- Nothing coming!
0:18:06 > 0:18:09OK! It's not jumping out at you!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Daphne, any idea?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Nope.- No?- No.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15It's a classic!
0:18:15 > 0:18:18The other Eggheads will know.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- ALL: I Heard It Through The Grapevine.- They chorused it!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I Heard It Through The Grapevine.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I didn't hear it from either of you.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30That gives a cross to Torr's account.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32If a tick goes in Daphne's, she's through.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Daphne, the first three studio albums by which group,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38fronted by Beth Gibbons,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41all reached number two in the UK chart?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Portishead?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Portishead.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47It's the right answer, Daphne!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- I'm sorry! - Dredged it up from somewhere.- Yes!
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- It's just round the corner from you in Weston, isn't it?- Yes.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59OK, Portishead means Daphne has won the round in Sudden Death.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01No place for you, Torr.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06This is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09It's time for the Final Round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Those who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Sam, Thomas and Torr from The Pool Sharks,
0:19:17 > 0:19:18and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21would you leave the studio, please?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Daniel and Ross, you're playing to win The Pool Sharks £8,000.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Pat, Kevin, Dave and Daphne,
0:19:27 > 0:19:32you're playing for something which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38The questions are general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42So, Pool Sharks, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Daniel and Ross, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48First? We'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55OK, first question coming your way, Pool Sharks.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57In a traditional British nursery rhyme,
0:19:57 > 0:20:02which insect is urged to fly away home because of a serious house fire?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08"Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11"your house is on fire and your children are gone."
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Something along the lines of that. - Not a clue. You for it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15We think it's ladybird.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Ladybird is the right answer. Lucky you knew it, Daniel.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK, Eggheads,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23which of these terms means "fine" or "satisfactory"?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29ALL: Hunky dory.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31We think it's all hunky dory.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Which is what your answer is. Yes, it's hunky dory,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35it's the right one.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Back to The Pool Sharks.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Introduced in 2011 in England and Wales,
0:20:40 > 0:20:44which alternative phone number to 999
0:20:44 > 0:20:48connects callers to their local police station for reporting non-emergencies?
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Is it...
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Let me think. I think 123 is the Speaking Clock.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57- Yes.- I think...
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- It's come to me.- 118, you get the annoying guys on the advert.- You do.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03So I don't think it's that.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- So that would leave 101. - That would leave 101.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08And I... Yes, I think it's 101.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- OK. Well, we've gone through it. Yes.- Yes.- OK.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15We think it's 101.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19101 for non-emergencies or less urgent things.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22It is 101. It's the right answer.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25OK. Eggheads, your second question.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28The international leader of the Salvation Army
0:21:28 > 0:21:30is known by which military rank?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- I'd say it was General. - It's General, isn't it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It's General.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39We think that's General.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43General. It's the right answer, Eggheads, yes.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47OK. Well, Pool Sharks,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50getting down to the black ball, I suppose, in pool terms.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Who's going to pot it? Third question.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Hristo Stoichkov played football for which national team?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Do you want me to spell it? - Yes, please.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04First name H-R-I-S-T-O,
0:22:04 > 0:22:08surname S-T-O-I-C-H-K-O-V.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Hristo Stoichkov.- Bulgaria.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Yes.- Yes?- Yes.- OK.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17My football expert over here tells me it's Bulgaria.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Bulgaria for Stoichkov. It's the right answer,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24as you would expect from a sports expert like Ross.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28You've got, well, maybe a fingertip on the £8,000.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30If the Eggheads don't get this, you've won it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Eggheads, in which of Henrik Ibsen's plays
0:22:33 > 0:22:36is the title character a disgraced banker?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Borkman?- That's what I was thinking. It's not Peer Gynt.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Brand is all about religion, isn't it?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49He's a pastor or something, I think.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54- I'm thinking it's Borkman. - I think it's Borkman. I'm not sure.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- DAVE: I've not got a clue. - I think it's Borkman.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Are we happy with Borkman?- Yes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03We're not 100 percent, but we think it's John Gabriel Borkman.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04You need to get it.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Into Sudden Death.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Ross hoping for another sport question, I bet!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13OK, let's see what you get.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18St George's Hall, a traditional venue for state banquets hosted by the monarch,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21is located in which English royal castle?
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Isn't St George's Chapel in Windsor?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29That was the first one that came to mind. Erm...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- And that is... - I'm trying to think of England
0:23:31 > 0:23:35because most of the castles that came into my head are Scottish.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- It's also one of the oldest castles in England.- Yes.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42And St George being the saint of England...
0:23:42 > 0:23:46That is the one that springs to mind for me.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Yes. OK.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I should really be able to confirm it because I lived there,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55or not that far away, for many years!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Erm...
0:23:57 > 0:24:03We believe it might have something to do with the fact that there's a St George's Chapel
0:24:03 > 0:24:06and we're going to go with Windsor Castle.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- It's the right answer.- Yes!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12St George's Hall in Windsor Castle.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Eggheads, again, you need to get this.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18In Canada, the Thanksgiving Day public holiday
0:24:18 > 0:24:22is observed annually on the second Monday of which month?
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- I think it's October.- Because in the States it's November.- Yes.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- In Canada it's October.- OK.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I've got a feeling it is October.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- It's not the same month as the States.- Right, that's fine.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- OK.- I think it's October. - On my head be it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- No, I agree with you on that.- Yes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46- Because it's different from the States.- Yes.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Again, it's fair to say we're not 100 percent,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53but we think, as compared with the USA where it's held in November,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57we think in Canada it's actually October.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Is that your answer?- Yes. October.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- It's the right answer, Eggheads. - Well done.- October.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Well, on we go.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07More Sudden Death questions.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Phew! Just keep it up. You're doing really well, guys.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Another question for you.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15In 1976,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18the businessman Peter Parker was appointed the chairman
0:25:18 > 0:25:21of which then state-owned organisation?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24So you're thinking British Rail...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Well, National Rail.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- It was BR then.- Oh, yes.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Then we've got Royal Mail. - The one that came to mind was National Trust,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35but I think that's a charity, isn't it?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38THEY SIGH
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I don't know much about National Trust. It's not my thing.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47What about some of these other ones that are more well known as companies,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49like Royal Mail, British Airways?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I don't think Royal Mail's a bad shout.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56I think Royal Mail sounds more plausible. Go for it.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00We don't know, Dermot. We've been going through the candidates
0:26:00 > 0:26:04and we're going to go with Royal Mail.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Royal Mail. I've been listening to the discussion,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10and a very interesting one it is, too,
0:26:10 > 0:26:13and you're really feeling your way towards...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16But it's not the right answer.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- You did mention it.- Oh, no!
0:26:18 > 0:26:21It was the first one you thought of. It's British Rail.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- THEY GROAN - BR. You said it, British Railways.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28That's the point about it being then state-owned.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31At the time of recording, Royal Mail still is.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Bad luck.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37The Eggheads haven't won. They need to get theirs correct.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41The Schickel Shamble, from the film Monte Carlo or Bust!,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44is used as the theme tune for which radio comedy show?
0:26:44 > 0:26:49- Is it "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue"? - I think it's one of the well-known ones.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I think it's I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56That crossed my mind because it's when things started.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Monte Carlo or Bust was...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02..the mid-'60s,
0:27:02 > 0:27:07so it needs to be, well, it probably needs to be something that started back in that era.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13- It's not Just A Minute because that's Chopin's Waltz.- Yes.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16It's implying that it's still going, which that is.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21- It's the percentage, then. - Yes. I think we'll go with it.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27We're not certain, but we'll try I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Well, you have got a clue. It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I think the Eggheads are going to agree with me,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- that was high-quality quizzing, wasn't it?- Superb. Very unlucky.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Just missed out on British Rail there.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52We would still be looking at more Sudden Death questions, I suspect.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57- You knew British Rail, Peter Parker, didn't you?- Oh, yes.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00A generational thing, I think! You may've remembered it at the time.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04The guys did really well working on the information in the question
0:28:04 > 0:28:07and came so close to getting it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Bad luck. Best of luck to you with your studies, Pool Sharks, and of course those cues.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- Keep them well chalked.- Thank you! - Thanks for playing the Eggheads.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Those Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22You won't be going home with the £8,000,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35£9,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
