0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 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 > 0:00:34And hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:34 > 0:00:37are the Gippeswyk Girls from Suffolk.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42This team of old friends have called themselves after the historical name of their home town of Ipswich.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- Let's meet them.- Hello. I'm Annie.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I'm 50, and I'm a midwife.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hello. I'm Jan. I'm 55, and I'm a retired law clerk.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi. I'm Carrie, I'm 54, and I'm a teaching assistant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello. My name is Lynda. I'm 55, and I'm a maternity care assistant.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04Hello. I'm Sally. I'm 46 years old, and I'm a drama teacher and puppeteer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Welcome to you, Gippeswyk Girls.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I can hear that now - Gippeswyk. Ipswich.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- I mean, is it an Old English word?- It is. It's the Old English name for Ipswich.
0:01:14 > 0:01:21I think it's...wyk is for town, and Gippe refers to the river Gipping.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23I think so.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I'm just about to check with the Eggheads.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28It's always a bit difficult, saying things like that in front of this lot.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I'm sure they know a bit about it too. Gippeswyk.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34HE SPELLS IT
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Now, be honest with me, Eggheads. Did you know that, if a question had come up about Ipswich?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- No.- No?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43One could have guessed, I would have thought.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Probably yeah. You might have done.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51OK, well, Gippeswyk Girls, let's see if you know more than the Eggheads on a lot of other things
0:01:51 > 0:01:53during the course of the game.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for all our challengers.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So, Gippeswyk Girls, the challengers actually won the last game,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06proving it can be done, but it means
0:02:06 > 0:02:08that £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Our first head-to-head battle - a chance to knock an Egghead out -
0:02:12 > 0:02:14is on Arts and Books.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Who's been pre-selected for this? Have you thought it through?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Who wants to play?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It's going to be me, isn't it?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- I think so.- Sal.- Sally.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26OK.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- I think Sally will play that one. - It's gonna be me.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- You seem rather reluctant, Sally.- Not my favourite subject, but I'll give it a go.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Choose an Egghead. Any of those.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Who would you like, Annie?- Go for Barry, I think.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42- Barry?- Yes.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- OK, I'll go for Barry.- All right.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Let's have Sally and Barry into the Question Room for our opening round.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Now, Sally, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I'll go first, please.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04OK, good luck, Sally. It's Arts and Books, and the first question for you is this.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09Which 20th Century artist was known for his collection of white wigs?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Oh, right, OK.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Well, um...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21They could all possibly have worn a wig at some point.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Pablo Picasso...
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Well, I know that Andy Warhol used to do a lot of pop artistry...
0:03:30 > 0:03:34..with a lot of pop stars and film stars,
0:03:34 > 0:03:39and Salvador Dali, mm, he was quite eccentric.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41But...um...
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'm drawn towards Andy Warhol.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I really don't know, so that will be my educated guess.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50OK. Educated guess, and it is the right answer.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Oh, great.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55You did have that mental image of him, but he always did have...
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I never knew it was a wig, actually.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03OK, Barry, the US novelist Jeffery Deaver is best-known for his work in which genre?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Jeffery Deaver is right up Daphne's street. He's a crime novelist.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Crime is correct.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13All square, and back to Sally.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Joseph Anton, published in 2012,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19is a memoir by which writer?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Julian Barnes... I have read some books of Julian Barnes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Martin Amis...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I don't think it's Salman Rushdie.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Oh dear, I'm torn between Julian Barnes and Martin Amis.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm going to go for...
0:04:41 > 0:04:43..Julian Barnes.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Julian Barnes... Joseph Anton, you think.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- It's not. Barry, do you know?- I'm not sure.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- I would have gone for Martin Amis. - Oh, dear. No, no.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Salman Rushdie.- It's Salman Rushdie.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- No way!- Salman Rushdie.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Oh, my goodness!- I think that was last on both your lists then.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Maybe I'll get the Eggheads to tell me - why Joseph Anton?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Why that for a title?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It's his favourite writers.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12He named it after Joseph Conrad and Anton Chekov.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Yes.- I see. OK...
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Interesting. OK, well, Barry, you have a chance for the lead here.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Barry, Christopher Marlowe's line - "Whoever loved that loved not at first sight?" -
0:05:22 > 0:05:24also appears in which Shakespeare play?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Whoever loved but loved not at first sight...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Whoever loved THAT loved not at first sight?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Ah - "Whoever loved that loved not at first sight?"
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Hm...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I don't think it's As You Like It.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46It could be A Midsummer Night's Dream, talking about Bottom.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49And it could be Romeo and Juliet,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52because Romeo had a first love before Juliet.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Whoever loved, but not at first sight...
0:05:54 > 0:05:56It sounds more like it's talking about Bottom,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59so I'll go for A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03OK, A midsummer Night's Dream. I see how that could work.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05But it's not the right answer. Other Eggheads.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- I think it's Romeo and Juliet.- No!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Kevin saying Romeo and Juliet. It's As You Like It.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Oh, dear!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well, everyone all over the place at the moment.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16All of you.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21Which is pretty good news for you, Sally, because it means it stays all square.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24You never know what might happen. This answer could put you through.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Artichoke Hearts is an award-winning children's book by which author?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I don't know. I knew the Shakespeare one.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Oh, no.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Arti... Arti...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Artichoke Hearts.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh, my goodness.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I really don't know, and I really can't...
0:06:51 > 0:06:56..work out any linear line to any of these authors.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01So I'm going to have to do a complete guess,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03and just go for...
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Sita.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13It is a lovely name, and a lovely book...that she wrote.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15No way!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Right, well done. OK.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25You have that lead, and let's see if Barry can prevent you getting into the final round.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Barry, which 15th Century Renaissance painter
0:07:29 > 0:07:32eloped with a nun whilst serving as the rector of a church?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Oh, some of my favourite painters of all time there.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43But the one who eloped with a nun was Fra Filippo Lippi.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Fra. I suppose that gives us the answer.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Filippo Lippi is the right answer from Barry,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53which takes us straightaway, first round, first Sudden Death.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Just to re-explain that to you, Sally - I'm sure you're familiar with it -
0:07:57 > 0:08:00we remove the options, and it gets a lot harder.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02So, Sudden Death question.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Which art award was presented by Richard Attenborough in 1985,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Yoko Ono in 2006,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and Dennis Hopper in 2007?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Which art award?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Well, Yoko Ono was quite into performance art.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Um...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I don't... Oh, dear.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I really don't know. I might...I might say...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I might go for something like the Performance Art Award.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Because I really don't know any art awards at all!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34OK. Performance Art Award...
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- No, that's incorrect.- No.- I think you will know this award.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's Sudden Death.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I think you will know this award if you'd seen it in a list.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- But Sudden Death means you have to conjure it up yourself.- Yeah.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49So that's an incorrect answer. Barry, do you know?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- I think it must be the Turner Prize. - Oh no!- It is the Turner Prize.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54You see? I knew you'd know it.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Shows how difficult Sudden Death is.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Let's hope Barry finds this equally difficult.
0:08:59 > 0:09:05Barry, Pat Barker's Booker Prize-winning novel The Ghost Road is set during which war?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Now, this is one of those Bookers I've not read, and I've been meaning to read for ages.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12So I have to think about this.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17I think it's a World War, but I'm just toying whether it's World War I or II.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I think it's World War I, so that's my answer.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Is that your answer? First World War?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25(SIGHS) It's the correct answer, Barry.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- I bet you knew that, Sally.- Yes, I did!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Oh, dear me.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34You got a bit of bad luck with the way the questions fell as well.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36You won't be in the final round. Barry will be.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Well, after the first round, the Gippeswyk Girls have lost one brain.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46The Eggheads are all there. Let's play our second round, then.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48This one is science.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Who'd like to take this one from the remaining four?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- I think I'll take that one.- OK.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Annie, who would you like to play from the Eggheads, just remembering it can't be Barry?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Any of the other four.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yes. Dave, please.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05OK, let's have Annie and Dave into the Question Room now, please.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Annie, would you like to go first or second?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I think I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Best of luck, Annie. First question is this, then.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24Which type of bird contains groups commonly known as dabbling and diving?
0:10:29 > 0:10:34I don't think I can think of any parrot that dive.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I think I'm just going to go with duck, Dermot.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Yeah, seems obvious. Might as well go for it. It's the right answer.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Yes. Dabbling and diving ducks.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50OK, Dave, what is 30 per cent of 400?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I always have to take my time on these,
0:10:55 > 0:10:59because these could be the questions I fear.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Just...
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Let me just compute it all in my head.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11400...
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I've got to go 120.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Yeah, OK. Yes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Early in the morning for the mental maths, is it?- Absolutely.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23No, it's just as I said, it's the one
0:11:23 > 0:11:25that everybody'll tweet about -
0:11:25 > 0:11:27whatever Egghead doesn't know arithmetic.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31You get these wrong, so they're danger. Danger questions.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34OK, well, no danger there. It's 120 of course.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Dave, you got it.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Annie, your question is this.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44What name is given to dead organic matter in soil such as leaves that has not yet decomposed?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I don't think it's scrap.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I think I'm going to go with garbage, Dermot.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56OK. Garbage in the soil. Dead organic matter.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58It isn't scrap, but it is litter.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Litter.
0:12:01 > 0:12:07So, Dave, the sinoatrial node is located in which part of the human body?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Right. I'm not sure at all.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Um...
0:12:15 > 0:12:17All I've got to go on is atrial,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21which would lead me to the heart, so that's got to be my answer.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Heart.- Lead you to the right place.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It's correct.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I suspect Annie would have liked that one.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Yes, that should have been my question.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Oh, dear. It happened Sally as well. OK, Annie, let's hope you like this one.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Who would be most likely to test you with a non-contact tonometer?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I've never heard of it.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Well, most things dentists do are with contact, aren't they?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I think I'll go with optician, Dermot.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Working on that non-contact.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56That was the key phrase in the question for you.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58You got the right answer. Well done.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Dave, chance here to win the round.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07Antonio Meucci has been credited in some quarters as the true inventor of which of these?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14All I can go off again, and it might be somebody else who did this,
0:13:14 > 0:13:19but I believe that Alexander Graham Bell had a patent for the telephone,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and wasn't the first person to invent it,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24but had the patent at the time, so...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I've not really heard of it in connection,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30that kind of incident with the light bulb or film projector,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32so I'm going to go telephone.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Telephone... So, what?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Alexander Graham Bell had the patent, but didn't actually -
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Well, that's supposedly. Allegedly.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Well, it is the right answer, so well done, Dave.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Bad luck, Annie.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Just slipped up there in the middle, but a good performance, but no place in the final round.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Two exchanges so far, and two members of the Gippeswyk Girls will be missing from the final round.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03The Eggheads haven't lost any brains, so we move on to our third category.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's not yours, is it, Carrie?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10No.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Well, that leaves one of these two for sport.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Are you all right to do that?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I'll have a go.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19And who shall we choose?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I think we'll choose Chris. Chris.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Chris, please.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Better just confirm that. So it's going to be Lynda playing Chris from the Eggheads.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Would you both please go to the Question Room?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Lynda, do you want to go first or second?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I'll go first, please.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41OK. First question, then, is this -
0:14:41 > 0:14:45which item of clothing enjoyed a revival after being worn by the Doctor
0:14:45 > 0:14:49as played by Matt Smith in the TV series Dr Who?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55OK. I think it was Tom Baker that had the scarf.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01I don't think Matt wore a tank top, so I'm going to go for bow tie.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03That's the one, yeah. Bow tie.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06OK. Bow tie.
0:15:06 > 0:15:12Chris, who became a new regular judge for the 2012 series of the X Factor?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18You never miss one, do you?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Well, for "never" read "always" throughout.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Well, it's not Adele.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Lady Gaga's too busy, so it must be Nicole Skirt-zinger.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Skert-zinger!- Skert-zinger, yeah.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35It is the right answer
0:15:35 > 0:15:37by elimination there rather than viewing, I suspect.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39OK, it's all square.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44And Lynda, the films Back to the Future Part II
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Sex Lies and Videotape
0:15:46 > 0:15:51and Heathers were first released in the UK in which year?
0:15:54 > 0:15:59OK. I really have no idea about this one, but I THINK...
0:15:59 > 0:16:04my first daughter was born, and I'm sure she watched this later on.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I'm going to go straight down the middle for 1997.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11OK, 1997, Back to the Future II, Sex Lies and Videotape and Heathers...
0:16:11 > 0:16:13first released.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It's the earliest. 1989.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Oh, I nearly went for that.- Playing tricks, your memory there.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23OK, and Chris, what is the occupation of Jeff Bridges' character
0:16:23 > 0:16:25in 2009 film Crazy Heart?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I think he plays a washed-up country singer.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35He does. Didn't he get an Oscar for it, or a nomination?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Best Actor.- Got Best Actor for it. OK.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40It's the right answer.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Which means you need this as you know, Lynda.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47The Amazing Mumford is a regular character in which children's television programme?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Ooh, dear me.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Sesame Street I just about remember.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Tweenies...
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Amazing Mumford...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I think I'm going to go for Rastamouse.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03OK, Rastamouse for the Amazing Mumford.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06It's not. It is Sesame Street.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh!
0:17:08 > 0:17:11OK, well, that means the round is over.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14If we have a look at the scores... I'm sorry about that.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Chris has already achieved two, which you can't match,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19which means you won't be in the final round.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Well, as it stands now the Gippeswyk Girls have lost three brains in the final round.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28The Eggheads are all still there.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Let's see if you can turn it all round in our last head-to-head before the final round.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36This one is Sport, and you've got two players left.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Jan or Carrie?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41That'll be you, then.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- It's going to have to be you, Carrie.- It's better than being on your own at the end.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47That is true. That's going to be me, then!
0:17:47 > 0:17:51OK. Better than being left on your own at the end!
0:17:51 > 0:17:56That's confidence for you. Carrie, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Chris, Barry and Dave have played, so you can have Daphne or Kevin.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Who's it going to be?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Daphne?- Mm.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Daphne, you and me.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It's you and me... OK, yeah. Carrie and Daphne into the Question Room.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14OK, right, sport. How are you at sport?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Terrible.- Oh, dear.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Right, well, let's hope Daphne has a bad day as well.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And I hope you have a good day. You never know.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- Would you like to go first or second? - Oh, I'll go first, get it over and done with.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31OK, well, try this one, Carrie.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35In which sport can you legally execute an ankle tap tackle?
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Oh, my goodness.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Well, I don't think you tackle in cricket.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47My husband plays cricket, and I've never heard him mention tackles.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Rugby Union seems a bit more...physical than ankle tap,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55so I'm going to have to say football.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00OK, football, for a LEGALLY executed ankle tap tackle.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02It's the legal there.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Plenty of it in football, you're right, but technically a foul.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08In Rugby Union it is allowed.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11You were looking for tackling there. Rugby Union.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13So, Daphne,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15which of these is the name of a chicane
0:19:15 > 0:19:18on the Marina Bay Formula One circuit?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Um...
0:19:24 > 0:19:30The only one that sounds slightly familiar is a Singapore Sling.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36I think that's where the Singapore Grand Prix is, isn't it?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38So Singapore Sling.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41OK. I love the way you're asking me like I'm going to help you out.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Isn't it? Don't know. Not until you answer.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Marina Bay Formula One circuit in Singapore.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Singapore Sling, yeah. You've got it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54OK, right, we need to get you underway here, Carrie.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59The national cricket team of which of these countries was formed in 2001?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Right, OK.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Bangladesh...
0:20:06 > 0:20:11Cricket... Well, I think they're cricket-mad...
0:20:11 > 0:20:15in that part of the world with India and Pakistan.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I would have thought they'd have a team before that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21The Netherlands?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I suppose it's nice and flat there, so they could get a good wicket.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Afghanistan... It's quite hilly there, isn't it, so...
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I'm struggling with this one, Dermot.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40I know my husband will be sitting at home screaming this answer.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42He's cricket-mad.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I don't know. Guess - Afghanistan.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49OK. In spite of the hills. It's the right answer!
0:20:52 > 0:20:57Yes, so Bangladesh has a long time had a team.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- The Netherlands - very keen on cricket there, aren't they?- Yes.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Afghanistan have been doing very well.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04OK, well, well done, Carrie.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07You're on the board and need Daphne to slip up fairly soon.
0:21:07 > 0:21:14Try it now, Daphne. What nickname is most associated with the Australian darts player Simon Whitlock?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18It's not the Warrior.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Um...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26The Wizard.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30The Wizard? Barry, you're shaking your head.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- No, no, no. It's the Warlock. - No, no, no, it's the Wizard!
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Is it?!
0:21:37 > 0:21:42He's Gandalfian, isn't he? He's got the long beard and the long hair.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44The Wizard. Well done, Daphne.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47It'd have been interesting if it had been the final round with Barry and Daphne.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I'd like to have seen that.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Pity though for you that it was the Wizard, Carrie.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56It means you need to get this just to survive.
0:21:57 > 0:22:03How many yellow cards did referee Howard Webb issue in the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07That must have been a really dirty match.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12SIGHS
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Um, I've got absolutely no idea.
0:22:14 > 0:22:1610. No idea.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18OK, 10.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22So, of those numbers, going for not quite as dirty as 14.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26And that's what it was - 14. It was a very dirty match.
0:22:26 > 0:22:3014 yellow cards issued by Howard Webb,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34which means no offence taken, Carrie, but we issue you with a red card.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38You're not playing in the final round. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41And so this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45It's time for the final round which as always is general knowledge.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:47 > 0:22:49won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Annie, Carrie, Lynda and Sally from the Gippeswyk Girls,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00So, Jan, you're playing to win the Gippeswyk Girls £1,000.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Kevin, Dave, Daphne, Chris and Barry,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04you're playing for something which money cannot buy -
0:23:04 > 0:23:06the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13This time the questions are all general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17So Jan, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Jan, do you want to go first or second?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22I'll go first, please.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27OK, best of luck, Jan. Here you go.
0:23:28 > 0:23:34Which city's German name roughly translates as home of the monks?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I don't think it's Munich. I'm going to dismiss Munich.
0:23:42 > 0:23:48It's the burg that makes me think it's the home angle.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50But I'm not at all sure.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I'm going to go for Magdeburg.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59OK, Magdeburg. Burg might be a home for those monks we're looking for.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02But no, it's not. Eggheads?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Munich.- Munchen.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Munchen.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09OK, so we get monks from the German name there.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12OK. Munich. Well, see how the Eggheads do with their first one.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18The computer game character Mario of the Super Mario Bros is depicted as having what occupation?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22ALL: Plumber.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24He's a plumber.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29He is indeed a plumber, which takes us straight back to Jan.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Paddington Fair was a nickname for what type of public event in the 19th Century?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I'm going to...
0:24:41 > 0:24:43..rule out execution.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Almsgiving or voting day...
0:24:49 > 0:24:53It feels to me more like almsgiving than voting day,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55so I'll go with almsgiving.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Almsgiving. OK. For Paddington Fair. A nickname for...
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Jan, you've done it again. You've ruled out the correct answer first off.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It's execution.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10So, Eggheads, according to Aristophanes,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14what type of person had a horrible voice, bad breathing,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16and a vulgar manner?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I'd have gone for actor in that lot.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I agree. I'd have gone actor, but...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I don't know. It could be a politician, couldn't it?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27It could be a politician.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I mean, I don't think... We eliminate soldier?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Soldier, yeah.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35They were sort of revered in Greece, weren't they?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39You associate Aristophanes with plays.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Yes.- Yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43How did the Greeks view actors?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Lowest of the low, weren't they?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Yeah, but it could be politician.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- It could be either.- It could be either of them.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- So the consensus is in favour of... - Actor.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Yeah.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Haven't come across this quote before, so don't think it's solider.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05It could be either of the others, but we're going to try actor.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07OK. Actor...
0:26:07 > 0:26:09For victory, it's not. It is a politician.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Fair enough.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16Politician. Well, this would be a comeback. This would be a comeback.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21Right, first step is to get this one, Jan.
0:26:21 > 0:26:27As what did Diana Vreeland achieve fame in the 20th Century?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I don't know.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It's going to have to be a total guess.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I'm not going to rule anything out this time!
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I'm not saying I am, anyway.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Eventually you will have to, but give them all due consideration.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I don't know the name, that's the problem.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Ah.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I'll go down the middle. Fashion editor.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02OK. Plain guess, then.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Well, you deserve one, and you've got one. It's the right answer.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Well, as I say, that's step one.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Step two is the Eggheads failing here.
0:27:11 > 0:27:18What term is used to refer to the subtle swelling on most columns in classical architecture?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- It's definitely entasis.- Entay-sis, yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28The Parthenon is a classic example of it.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Yeah, yeah.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It's called entay-sis, or entasis.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38OK. Entay-sis. It's the correct answer, Eggheads.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40You've won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47As I always say, Jan, it's tough on your own.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52But you got one on the board in the end there, and just gave the Eggheads pause for thought.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56We've had great fun having you. Thank you very much indeed for playing the Eggheads today.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, and they reign supreme over quizland once again.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05I'm afraid you won't be going home with £1,000, which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07And Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:10 > 0:28:12have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14£2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
