0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:39are the Taverners from Wiltshire. This team of friends quiz together
0:00:39 > 0:00:43at the Canal Tavern in Bradford on Avon. Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hello. I'm Tim. I'm 60 years old and I'm a novelist.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hello. I'm Frances. I'm 57 years old
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and I'm a senior administrator for the National Trust.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Dave. I'm 64 and I'm a computer support consultant.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello. I'm Lee. I'm 65 and I'm a part-time sales administrator.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi. I'm David. I'm 48 and I'm a local government director.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Welcome to you, Taverners. Tell me about the pub. What's the beer like?
0:01:07 > 0:01:12- Excellent. Yeah, really good. Yeah.- Nice drop?- Absolutely.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- What's the quiz like? - The quiz is fine.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17We've been doing the quiz for a number of years now.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21We don't do too badly in it. We've never actually won it.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- But we do all right. - You've never won it?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- So it must be quite competitive. - It is, absolutely, yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30How would the Eggheads do? Can they come along in disguise?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- I think they'd do fairly well. - Finish mid division somewhere.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- At least. - Maybe towards the bottom.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Yeah. OK.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Every day there's £1,000 cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48So, Taverners, the Eggheads have won the last eight games
0:01:48 > 0:01:53that means that £9,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And our first head-to-head battle is on Film & Television.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Who'd like to play this and which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Who fancies that? - Who's best on Film & TV?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Anyone fancy Film & TV?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Do you want Film & TV?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- I'll do it.- Yeah.- Frances.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- I'll have a go.- OK.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Who do you want to play from the Eggheads, Frances?- Oh!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- I'll try Dave, please. - Dave. Why not? OK.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22To start us off, I'll ask Dave and Frances to go to the Question Room.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, Frances, I hear you're a keen footballer.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, I was many years ago, Dermot.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I like watching it now but that's as far as I go.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33You used to play five-a-side.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I used to play five-a-side when I worked at the Home Office.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- We won the London regions one year. - Good on you.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- What position did you play? - I was a forward in those days, yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- So, you knocked a few in?- I did.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I had a nice volley into the top corner one day.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Lovely. That's, in quizzing terms, what we want to see you do today
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- with these questions.- Yeah.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Do you want to go first or second? - Can I go second, please?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02OK. Elected to put Dave in first. This is your question, Dave.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Which actress found fame
0:03:04 > 0:03:07playing the role of Dot Cotton on EastEnders?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Which actress found fame playing the role of Dot Cotton on EastEnders?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Eileen Derbyshire's Emily Bishop
0:03:17 > 0:03:21in Coronation Street. Paula Tilbrook is Betty Eagleton in Emmerdale.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25So that leaves June Brown to play Dot Cotton.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27You almost earned three points there.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- I can't give you them.- Don't give them.- Just one for a correct answer.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Too much information.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Never too much from an Egghead, Dave.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- OK.- Your first question, Frances.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Which animated TV series was narrated by the actor Arthur Lowe?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Which animated television series was narrated by the actor Arthur Lowe?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Don't know this immediately. But, um...
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I can't imagine him doing Rastamouse somehow.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Trumpton? No.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- I'll go for Mr Men, please.- Mr Men, for Captain Mainwaring himself,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Arthur Lowe, is the right answer.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Yep.- Hooray.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Who, of course, Dave, was also in Coronation Street, wasn't he?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Yeah, Mr Swindley. In fact, he got jilted at the altar
0:04:16 > 0:04:19by Emily Bishop, who was then Emily Nugent.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Oh! It's all joining up here, all the questions.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24And your second question, Dave.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Who played Ben Sanderson in the 1995 film Leaving Las Vegas?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Yeah, Oscar-winning performance from Nicolas Cage.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Nicolas Cage is the right answer. Not messing around there, Dave.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Neither is Frances. Second question for you.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Who played the commander of the nuclear submarine USS Tigerfish
0:04:46 > 0:04:50in the 1968 film Ice Station Zebra?
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Again, I don't know. But I'll discount Cary Grant to start with.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Um, and I'll go for Gregory Peck.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Gregory Peck in charge of the nuclear sub going under the ice cap.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Yes.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10But it was Rock Hudson in charge. Rock Hudson.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12A dangerous time to stumble,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Frances, because Dave can administer a knock-out blow if he gets this.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Dave, what is the name of the civil servant played by Joanna Scanlan
0:05:21 > 0:05:23in the TV sitcom The Thick Of It?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27I've watched The Thick Of It.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30It doesn't immediately come to mind.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34But one name that comes out of that, and I'm going to go for it, is Terri.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Well, Terri will do.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It is the right answer.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41A question about a civil servant putting you out.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- I know. Imagine that. - Sorry, Frances.- That's all right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46But that is the end of the round.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Dave's through. Both come back and join your teams.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54The Eggheads one up. One Taverner missing at this point.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57The Eggheads are all there. Early days, though.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Our next subject is Sport.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Who fancies this one? Sport.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- That's you, Dave.- I'll be nominated for this.- I think it's you.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07The man in the middle. Who are you going to have?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- I think I'll... - What do you reckon?- Judith.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Judith. Let's have Dave and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19All right. Let's play the round, then.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Dave, would you like to go first or second?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I'd like to go first, please.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Good luck. What is the first name of the football manager
0:06:29 > 0:06:33colloquially referred to in the press by his initials AVB?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39What is the first name of the football manager
0:06:39 > 0:06:43colloquially referred to in the press by his initials AVB?
0:06:43 > 0:06:48He used to be the manager of the team I support. It's Andre.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Presumably you can tell me what the VB is, then.- Villas-Boas.- Yes.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Yes. Andre Villas-Boas. We wanted Andre and we heard it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:571-0 to Dave. Judith,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Robert Rock and Simon Dyson became famous
0:06:59 > 0:07:02as leading English competitors in which sport?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Robert Rock and Simon Dyson became famous
0:07:07 > 0:07:10as leading English competitors in which sport?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Um, I don't think it's boxing.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Um... I think it might be cycling.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20OK. Cyclists, Robert Rock and Simon Dyson.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Well, I'm sure they both own bikes.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'm sure they do a bit of cycling, they're fit guys.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29But it's not the right answer. Dave?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- They're golfers.- Golfers.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Oh!- OK, well,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36best possible start for you, Dave.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39You have one and Judith is on zero.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40So, will you go two up?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43In the northern hemisphere, thoroughbred racehorses
0:07:43 > 0:07:46all have their official birthday on the first of which month?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It's not something that I know.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58But I've got the vague recollection that there are January sales
0:07:58 > 0:08:01on racehorses, so I shall go with January.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04January. First of January is the right answer. Well done.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Well done, Dave.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09All right, Judith. You need this.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12How old was Anita Lonsbrough when she won gold
0:08:12 > 0:08:17in the 200 metres breaststroke at the 1960 Olympic Games.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24I think swimmers tend to be young when they're at their best.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26So I'm going to say 19.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29That is correct. OK.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Well, Dave, you can get through if you give me a correct answer here.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36How many times did the driver Jack Brabham win
0:08:36 > 0:08:38the Formula 1 World Championship?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42He's a bit even before my time.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46But I think it was four.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48OK, four for a place in the final round.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's on hold. That's incorrect.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Three. Three is the answer we're looking at.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Any Eggheads supply me with the dates?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58'59, '60, '66.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02'59, '60 and '66 from Kevin.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04All right. Well, Judith, you're back in it
0:09:04 > 0:09:07if you get one here. The announcement that London had won
0:09:07 > 0:09:12the 2012 Olympics was made at an IOC meeting in which country?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I think that was Singapore.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19It was. That is the right answer.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Judith coming back with a wet sail. She's coming back at you, Dave.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26You're into sudden death now.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29That means you will not see any more options until we sort out a winner.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32On a standard dartboard, Dave,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36the five lies between the twenty and which other number?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Is there a dartboard in the Canal Tavern?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43There is but I haven't played darts for many years.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46But, crossing my mind, I think it's twelve.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- The twelve, it's right. Well done. - Hooray!- Well done, Dave.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well remembered. Judith, you need this.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56James Naismith, the inventor of basketball,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58was born in 1861 in which country?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I think he was born in Canada.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05He was. That's the right answer. Tricky one that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Another pair of questions. Dave,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10which former tennis player, a three-times
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Wimbledon Ladies' Singles champion,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15became an ordained minister in 1991?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18This is something that's passed me by.
0:10:18 > 0:10:25Um, I'm trying to think of players who won three times.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- I would say Margaret Court. - It's the right answer, Dave.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Yes!- Well done. - Well done, Dave.- Excellent.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Well, you're right back on form
0:10:33 > 0:10:35after that slip up on your third question.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Judith also showing some sparkling form.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41And your question. Which Northern Irish footballer
0:10:41 > 0:10:46started his managerial career in 1987 at Grantham Town FC?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52The only Northern Irish one I know is George Best.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I don't think he got as far as being a manager.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Um... I don't know.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Ryan Giggs... Is he Northern Irish?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- That was my answer. - That's your answer.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- I thought you were asking me a question.- I was.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Which I was not going to answer, if you were fishing for help.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14So you've gone for Ryan Giggs,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17the proud and long-serving Welsh player.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- LAUGHS - So, it wouldn't be him, then.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- It wouldn't be him. - No.- I've no idea.- No.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26We'll ask the Eggheads. I'm sure you'll know.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Martin O'Neill.- Martin O'Neill.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Martin O'Neill. Which means, Dave, you're through to the final round.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Hooray! - Well played. Very, very good round.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Come back and join your teams.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43After two rounds, both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Interesting, isn't it, that if you're called Dave
0:11:45 > 0:11:49in this game, it seems that you're going to win your head-to-head?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Which might be something worth bearing in mind, Taverners,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55as you make your selection for Arts & Books.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58You've got David there still able to play. Arts & Books
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- our next round.- Who'll do Arts & Books?- I think it's you, David.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- It's going to be me, is it? - I think it is, yeah.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- Right! I have read a book, that helps.- It's a start.- One or two.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Who are we going to have? - Dave and Judith have played.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13So you've got Kevin, Chris or Daphne.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- Any ideas?- Chris.- Yeah, I think Chris.- Um...- Do you think Chris?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Yeah.- I'll play Chris, Dermot. - All right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23We'll have David and Chris into the Question Room.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26So, David, you're in a band.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31- Yes, I am, Dermot.- You played at the Paralympics ceremony near you.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Yeah, I was really fortunate. We had the Paralympics
0:12:34 > 0:12:37in the Recreation Ground in Bath. It was a big celebration,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40torch display and, amongst the showers,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43we got to get on the stage and play. It was great fun.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- You dodged in and out of all that rain that was around.- Absolutely.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49OK. Do you want to go first or second?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I think I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Best of luck. Which 19th-century novel begins
0:12:57 > 0:13:00in the English seaside village of Black Hill Cove?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Which 19th-century novel begins
0:13:06 > 0:13:09in the English seaside village of Black Hill Cove?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Well, um...
0:13:12 > 0:13:15It doesn't ring a bell with me.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18The Time Machine, I'm familiar more with that book.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23And that really is more... That's later, that's much later than that.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26The Call Of The Wild, I think I read that when I was younger.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31It's more about the forests of America or wherever.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33So I'm going to go for Treasure Island.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- It's Treasure Island. It's the right answer.- Well done.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38And, Chris, your first question.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41In what year was the first of Michael Bond's
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Paddington Bear books published?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48In what year was the first of Michael Bond's
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Paddington Bear books published?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53It doesn't go back as far as 1918.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57But the classic series narrated by Michael Hordern
0:13:57 > 0:14:00was on television long before 1998.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03So the books must have been first published in 1958.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05They were. Well done, Chris.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09And, David, which 20th-century artist is reputed to have said,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13"I don't paint nature, I am nature"?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Right. Um...
0:14:19 > 0:14:25Well, Lucien Freud I'm familiar with from lots of nude reclining ladies,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27if that's the right person in my head.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Andy Warhol is more kind of abstract.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Sort of visual images. And Jackson Pollock's...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I don't know. He might have felt he was more with nature. I don't know.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39For no other reason than I can't picture
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- his pictures having any image, I'm going for Jackson Pollock.- OK.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- And you've got it. It is the right answer. Well done.- Excellent.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Chris, in Edvard Munch's painting The Scream,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52housed at the National Gallery in Oslo,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56how many people appear on the bridge in addition to the person screaming?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03They're up in the top left-hand corner, aren't they? There's two.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07You're good at visualising it. It's the right answer.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Yeah, two.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Well, some good answers so far from both players. David,
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Invective Against Swans is a poem by which American Modernist writer?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Well, I don't know any of the names in front of me. Um...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Marianne Moore, Frank O'Hara, Wallace Stevens.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32So this is absolutely going to have to be a complete guess.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Um, and I'm going to have to go for
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Wallace Stevens.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39OK. A complete guess.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43One in three. And it's in. You got it.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Well done, Dave. - You landed it. Wallace Stevens.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48So, Chris,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52the Canadian Edward Burtynsky became famous in which field?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I don't think he was a choreographer, so it's not choreography.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05There have been some good photographers come out of Canada
0:16:05 > 0:16:08like Karsh in Ottawa. But I don't think he was a photographer.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- I'll go with sculpture.- OK.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14He was famous in the field of sculpture, a sculptor, you think.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19- Other Eggheads, you look a little... - I would have gone for photography.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21They would've tended towards photography.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23And that is the answer we needed.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Hooray!- Photography, which means
0:16:25 > 0:16:27more great news for the Taverners.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30The tide's really turned. You are through, David.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- See what I said? - Hooray!- Well done, David.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Two Daves and a David through now in the final round.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Please come back and join your teams.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42It's going very nicely for the Taverners at the moment.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Two Eggheads have gone, one Taverner.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49And our next subject, last one before the final round, is Politics.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52We've got... An intake of breath I hear.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54..Tim or Lee there.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58It will have to be me, Dermot, because our tactic
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- was to leave Lee until the end, so... - All right.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Politics. - I said about the Dave effect.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Your middle name isn't David, is it?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Sadly not, no.- You can borrow it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Who would you like to pick from the Eggheads?- I think Daphne, please.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- Daphne, well, she's got two of those letters from Dave.- Exactly.
0:17:18 > 0:17:24Dav... Dave-ne... Tim and Daphne, into the Question Room, please.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Well, Tim, victory here would really tip the balance in your favour.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Would you like to go first or second, Tim?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I think first, Dermot.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40All right. First question. In the US, what name is given to states
0:17:40 > 0:17:42in which voters are equally likely to return
0:17:42 > 0:17:45a Democrat or a Republican candidate?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50In the US, what name is given to states
0:17:50 > 0:17:52in which voters are equally likely to return
0:17:52 > 0:17:55a Democrat or a Republican candidate?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I'm going to go for swing states
0:17:58 > 0:18:01on the basis that I don't think it's either of the other two.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Exactly. Yes, it's the right answer.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Swing states. And, Daphne,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09whose autobiography, published in 2012,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12is entitled Interventions: A Life In War And Peace?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Whose autobiography, published in 2012,
0:18:18 > 0:18:22is entitled Interventions: A Life In War And Peace?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Oh, dear. It passed me by.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Um, it's not Tony Blair.
0:18:28 > 0:18:34But the other two, they're both logical.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Um...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42George Bush.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Am I wrong?
0:18:45 > 0:18:46- You're wrong.- Oh!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Kofi Annan. - Kofi Annan. United Nations.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Interventions.- I was thinking about that but... Oh, well.- Oh, dear.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Well, that's a great start, Tim.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58It's what you wanted.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And second question. Which political figure married
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Louise Shackelton in 1998?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I'm pretty sure it wasn't David Miliband.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18George Osborne?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23- I'm going to go for George Osborne. - George Osborne.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27No, it's not. Daphne?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- It must be David Miliband.- Yeah. It was the one you ruled out first.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33David Miliband married Louise Shackelton in 1998.
0:19:33 > 0:19:39Daphne to make amends if she gets this. Who was British prime minister
0:19:39 > 0:19:42at the time of the 1929 Wall Street Crash?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Ramsay MacDonald.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Ah, yes. And you know you've got that as well, don't you?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55You know your prime ministers. That's correct. Ramsay MacDonald.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's all square. Tim,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00in 2009, Professor David Nutt
0:20:00 > 0:20:04was dismissed from his position as a government adviser on what?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Um...
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Difficult one.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Drugs.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I'm going to drugs on this one, Dermot.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Drugs. The right answer. Yes. Well done. OK.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Well, you need this, Daphne.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Ann Widdecombe was shadow home secretary
0:20:29 > 0:20:31under which Conservative leader?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Oh, crumbs.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Um... It's not Michael Howard.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45But I can't work out which one it is of the other two.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Oh, dear.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Sorry, team.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- Iain Duncan Smith. - Iain Duncan Smith with
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Ann Widdecombe shadowing the Home Office, you think for him?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- No?- It's William Hague.- Oh!
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Well...
0:21:07 > 0:21:10We'll have to look at that scoreboard again. Look at that.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13You don't see that very often against Daphne.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- One out of three, Daphne. - Uh-huh. Na-na-na-na.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19That's a fail.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Dear me. Well done, Tim. You're in the final round.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Knocked Daphne out. Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Well, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Those of you who lost those head-to-heads
0:21:34 > 0:21:36won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39So, Frances from the Taverners and Judith, Daphne and Chris
0:21:39 > 0:21:43from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now, please?
0:21:44 > 0:21:49So, Tim, Dave, Lee and David, you're playing to win the Taverners £9,000.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something which money can't buy,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00The questions are General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02So, Taverners, the question is, are your four brains
0:22:02 > 0:22:05better than the Eggheads' two? Taverners, would you like
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- to go first or second? - What are we going to do?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- First.- First?- First, yes. First, please.- First, please.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Kicking off, the Taverners. First question is this.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18The world's longest fence
0:22:18 > 0:22:22was erected in Australia to protect sheep from which creature?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27The world's longest fence
0:22:27 > 0:22:30was erected in Australia to protect sheep from which creature?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Definitely dingo.- I don't think it was koalas.- Koalas would climb over.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38- I've never been savaged by a koala. - Dingo sounds more like it.- Dingo.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Yeah.- We agree on dingo, Dermot.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Not the marauding wombats and savage koalas?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- It is dingo.- Unlikely, we feel. - Dingo is correct. Good start.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Eggheads, in which board game does a piece become a king
0:22:53 > 0:22:55if it reaches the other side of the board?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00In which board game does a piece become a king
0:23:00 > 0:23:02if it reaches the other side of the board?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Draughts, isn't it?- Yeah, draughts.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06It's not backgammon.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09It's not chess. It's got to be draughts.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- That is... OK?- Yeah, got to be.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13That's draughts.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Draughts. Right answer, Eggheads. Second question
0:23:16 > 0:23:18for both teams. Taverners,
0:23:18 > 0:23:22who wrote and recorded the early 1970s track Smoke On The Water,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24which tells of the band's experiences
0:23:24 > 0:23:26of a fire near Lake Geneva?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Who wrote and recorded the early 1970s track Smoke On The Water
0:23:33 > 0:23:36about the band's experiences of a fire near Lake Geneva?
0:23:36 > 0:23:42My two music experts say it's definitely Deep Purple.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Deep Purple with Smoke On The Water is the right answer.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Eggheads, in the 1920s, what type of hat
0:23:49 > 0:23:52became part of the costume of some Bolivian women?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57In the 1920s, what type of hat
0:23:57 > 0:24:00became part of the costume of some Bolivian women?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- It's the bowler, isn't it? - You happy with that? OK.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08You see the market women, or pictures of them, Andean peasants.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- They wear the bowler. I believe that's the bowler.- The bowler hat.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16So it's another pair of questions for the teams.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22Taverners, in the 1420s, the astronomer Ulugh Beg
0:24:22 > 0:24:25built a famous observatory in which city?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31In the 1420s, the astronomer Ulugh Beg
0:24:31 > 0:24:34built a famous observatory in which city?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37First name's U-L-U-G-H.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39And then B-E-G for the surname.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43U-L-U-G-H B-E-G.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48- Ulugh Beg.- Alexandria had the kind of... There is a building there,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- which is...- Library.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54But the name sounds to me more...
0:24:54 > 0:24:59- ..more further east. - Samarkand.- Yeah. The Beg.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- I don't think it's Samarkand. - I don't think Constantinople.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I don't know.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09I don't really know.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11No. This isn't very much help, is it?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- I would go with Alexandria. - You're in the box seat, Lee.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I don't know. Let's have a vote.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22What do you think?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Um...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I don't know.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30We've got Alexandria, Constantinople or Samarkand.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- I don't think it's Samarkand. - Samarkand.- Dave says Samarkand?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- The name sounds.... - With Beg with Constantinople?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Constantinople's more kind of central to the world.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Samarkand. - The end of the Crusade period.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46It seems the obvious choice if it isn't the right answer.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- That's all I'd say.- Yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- What would you like me to say? - We don't know.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Well, we don't know, Dermot, as you can gather.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm for Alexandria.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03You're for Constantinople?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06I favour that to Constantinople but without knowing why.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Constantinople, possibly.- OK.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13We're going to go for Constantinople.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18Constantinople. Always interesting to see if the Eggheads know.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Is it Constantinople? - Samarkand.- It's Samarkand.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- You were right, Dave. - Our initial answer.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28That was your initial response. Then it ended up third on the list.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Samarkand for Ulugh Beg.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32So a chance for the Eggheads to win the game.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37The journalist Suzy Menkes joined the International Herald Tribune
0:26:37 > 0:26:40in 1988, specialising in which field?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45The journalist Suzy Menkes
0:26:45 > 0:26:47joined the International Herald Tribune
0:26:47 > 0:26:50in 1988, specialising in which field?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Just to make sure I've got the right Suzy. I think I've heard of her.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- M-E-N-K-E-S?- Yeah.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Is it fashion?- I think she's a fashion journalist, yeah.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I'm not... I'll just have a think about it
0:27:01 > 0:27:03because I'm not certain. It's not sport.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Um... Yeah.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I think it's fashion.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11We're not 100% on this. We think it's fashion.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Is that your answer? - Yeah.- Suzy Menkes joined
0:27:14 > 0:27:16the International Herald Tribune
0:27:16 > 0:27:20in 1988 to specialise in fashion.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22It's right. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Kevin, there's another side to you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32You read the International Herald Tribune fashion pages.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Well, I mean, look.- Exactly, you're right.- Speaks for itself.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39It does. Taverners, I want to concentrate on your performance.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41It was a fantastic performance.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44The balance in the final round tells us, four of you against two of them,
0:27:44 > 0:27:48you did well in those head-to-heads but couldn't press home
0:27:48 > 0:27:51that advantage in the final round where the money is won and lost.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Thank you for playing the Eggheads today. I'm sure they'll be
0:27:54 > 0:27:58converging on you en masse for that quiz at the Canal Tavern some day.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01They'll be buying the drinks after that. They owe you that.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and their
0:28:04 > 0:28:08winning streak continues. You won't be going home with the £9,000,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:16 > 0:28:18have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22£10,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
