0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 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 quiz challengers

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

0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads! And taking on the might

0:00:33 > 0:00:36of our quiz Goliaths today are 60 Not Out.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38This team of friends are all associated

0:00:38 > 0:00:40with Southampton Hospital Radio,

0:00:40 > 0:00:45which recently celebrated 60 years, no less, on air. Let's meet them!

0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hello! I'm Steve. I'm 62 years old, and I'm a retired salesman.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hello. I'm Neil. I'm 48, and I'm a freelance property developer.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Rob. I'm 35, and I'm a civil servant.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hello. I'm Paul. I'm 49, and I'm a civil servant.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Gary. I'm 41, and I'm a section coordinator.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07Welcome to you, and congratulations on Southampton Hospital Radio.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09I take it none of you were there right at the beginning.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- He's almost old enough. - I thought about it, but no.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16What do you have on the radio? I mean, is it a broad range of things?

0:01:16 > 0:01:21Oh, yes. Everything from pop music through to football to operas,

0:01:21 > 0:01:26anything you like. We've got a vast library that we pick records from.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30Records! CDs, anything you like. DERMOT LAUGHS

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- And do you have a quiz on it? - We have had a quiz on it.

0:01:33 > 0:01:38We are the champions against BBC Radio Solent.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41We beat them, and we've got a clock to say so.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Oh, right! You might get a bit more than a clock here

0:01:44 > 0:01:47if you manage to beat the Eggheads. Every day there's £1,000

0:01:47 > 0:01:49up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53However, If they fail, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, 60 Not Out, the Eggheads have won just the last game,

0:01:56 > 0:01:59which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Can you knock an Egghead out on our first category, History?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Who'd like to play this? History.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- It's not going to be me. - How about you, Steve?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Apparently, how about me, Steve? THEY LAUGH

0:02:10 > 0:02:15How about you, Steve, and how about an Egghead to play, then?

0:02:15 > 0:02:18- I've got to go for Daphne. I love Daphne.- Oh!

0:02:18 > 0:02:20- We all love Daphne. - No, I'm first.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- THEY LAUGH - I'll join the queue.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26It's Steve and Daphne playing the first round.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Into the Question Room, please.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32OK, Steve. Ready to charge into battle against Daphne.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Would you like to go first or second?- I was pondering this,

0:02:35 > 0:02:38and the pondering came to first.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK. Well, ponder this question, then, Steve.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47Which king of England died in 1553 at the age of 15?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Did I say I love history?

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Charles II was doing a certain amount of wandering.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00I think he went off to France in the end.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03George IV is the fourth George.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05That's that.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08And Edward VI...

0:03:08 > 0:03:10I don't know. Edward.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Edward VI. It is Edward VI, yes, of course.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Hurray! - Of course that's Henry VIII's son.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20And, Daphne, the ankh was a symbol representing life

0:03:20 > 0:03:23in which ancient civilisation?

0:03:26 > 0:03:28A-N-K-H, the ankh or "ankha".

0:03:28 > 0:03:31That was the Egyptian.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36Egyptian is correct. OK. One apiece, and back to you, Steve.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Which historical region was situated

0:03:39 > 0:03:41on the south coast of the Baltic Sea,

0:03:41 > 0:03:45covering parts of what is now Germany and Poland?

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Well, Gaul, I'm led to believe by Asterix,

0:03:51 > 0:03:53was in France.

0:03:53 > 0:03:58Pomerania, to my knowledge, is a dog.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00HE LAUGHS

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Thrace I get the feeling is Greek to a degree, but...

0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Thrace! - OK.

0:04:08 > 0:04:13And, yes, Pomeranian dogs, slightly Germanic.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16- It's Pomerania. - Argh!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19OK. And, Daphne, how many US presidents were there

0:04:19 > 0:04:21in the 18th century?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Um... Two.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Can you name them?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Um, George Washington

0:04:31 > 0:04:33and John Adams.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Yes. You didn't need to.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37The extra information doesn't give you any more points,

0:04:37 > 0:04:42but it shows why you're an Egghead. It's two-one to you, then,

0:04:42 > 0:04:44and means Steve needs this.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Which country is generally considered to be the first nation

0:04:47 > 0:04:51to have formally adopted Christianity as the state religion?

0:04:54 > 0:04:57I thought the first was Rome, the Roman,

0:04:57 > 0:05:00but of those three...

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Oh, I like the sound of Armenia. Let's go for Armenia.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Much better. It's the right answer. Yes, well done.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11OK. Still in it, but Daphne needs to mess this one up

0:05:11 > 0:05:14for you to survive into Sudden Death.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17What name was given to the English and Scottish families

0:05:17 > 0:05:19who conducted cross-border raids

0:05:19 > 0:05:22between the 13th and 17th centuries?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28I think they were the Reivers.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Yes, Steve nodding. Knows it's all over there.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36He knew, but it wasn't his question. Daphne's in the final round.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39No place for you, Steve. Please come back and join your teams.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Well, Steve tells me he still loves Daphne

0:05:43 > 0:05:47in spite of what she just did to him - knocked him out of the game.

0:05:47 > 0:05:5060 Not Out have lost that one brain from the final round.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Our second head-to-head. It's come up as Music.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Now, given what you do,

0:05:55 > 0:05:59I'm sure plenty of you would like to play this. Who's it going to be?

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Looks like they're all looking at me, Dermot.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Go for it. - OK. And choose an Egghead.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Just remember it can't be Daphne.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- What do you think? - Barry was first choice.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Yeah? Barry it is, then. - Barry, first choice!

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Gary and Barry, into the Question Room, please.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20So, Gary, Music, given the round.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24- What type of music do you play on the show?- When I play with Neil,

0:06:24 > 0:06:27we call it Guy Dunbar's Lounge.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Don't ask me why Neil decided on that name,

0:06:29 > 0:06:31but we do. It's a broad range.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35Sometimes we pick a theme, so it might be '80s electronic music.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39It might be movie themes. Sometimes we just mix and match,

0:06:39 > 0:06:41- play as we feel. - OK.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Bit like the selection of questions here - mix and match.- Yeah.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Best of luck, Gary. Here's your first question.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56According to a song in The Sound Of Music,

0:06:56 > 0:06:58what are alive with the sound of music?

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Wow! If I don't get this right,

0:07:03 > 0:07:07I have a feeling my girlfriend will probably disown me.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10I'd love to say "the nuns" because that just would be very funny,

0:07:10 > 0:07:13but I'm pretty sure it's the hills.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Is your girlfriend Julie Andrews? - THEY LAUGH

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Er, no.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22- But a big fan of The Sound Of Music? - Musicals in general, yeah.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24It's the right answer. The hills.

0:07:24 > 0:07:29Barry, in her stage name, the singer known as Pink

0:07:29 > 0:07:32replaces the letter I with which symbol?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Oh! That's a good question.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Just trying to remember when I last saw her stage name in print.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44It's not an asterisk. I think it's a dollar sign.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49OK. Just kind of flaunting the amount of money she's making

0:07:49 > 0:07:53- out of her fans? - I couldn't possibly comment on that.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56But it's not. It's an exclamation mark replacing the I,

0:07:56 > 0:08:00so it still says "Pink". Well, that's great news, Gary.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Could be off to a really good start here if you get this.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07Which song gave ABBA their second UK number-one single?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12HE SIGHS

0:08:12 > 0:08:16Super Trouper definitely is a number one.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Mamma Mia's too old.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I don't think I Have A Dream made number one.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- I'm going to say Super Trouper. - STEVE GROANS

0:08:27 > 0:08:30OK. It's incorrect.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Eggheads?- I think Waterloo was the first number one.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Mamma Mia was the second number one. - Yeah. Mamma Mia.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39It was Mamma Mia. So, Barry,

0:08:39 > 0:08:42chance should pull it back.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Barry, which song starts with the lines,

0:08:44 > 0:08:47"I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw"?

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I'm just playing this through in my head now,

0:08:57 > 0:09:00and I'm absolutely certain this is Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03It is, yeah. Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves, by...

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Er, was it Cher? - Yeah.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Cher. Right again by the Eggheads.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12It's all square, then, going into a third question for each of you.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15And, Gary, who wrote The One And Only,

0:09:15 > 0:09:18a hit single for Chesney Hawkes in 1991?

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Oh... I know it's definitely not Paul Young,

0:09:25 > 0:09:28cos my mum likes Paul Young.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Strange way of eliminating him, I know.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Cathy Dennis has written for other people,

0:09:33 > 0:09:36but not that early, so I'm going to say

0:09:36 > 0:09:40'80s icon and legend Nik Kershaw.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43'80s icon and legend! It is indeed Nik Kershaw.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Right, back in the lead.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Gary and Barry, which pianist, who lost an arm in World War I,

0:09:50 > 0:09:53commissioned works for the left hand only

0:09:53 > 0:09:57by Ravel, Britten and Prokofiev among others?

0:10:00 > 0:10:04He was the brother of the famous philosopher,

0:10:04 > 0:10:06- and it was Paul Wittgenstein. - Oh, I wondered that!

0:10:06 > 0:10:10So, there's the link there. OK. Paul Wittgenstein. Correct.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Right. Well, it's all square, as you can see there, Gary,

0:10:14 > 0:10:17and we go into Sudden Death and remove the options

0:10:17 > 0:10:19to make it harder, to sort out a winner.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22This one to you. Which girl group had a UK hit single

0:10:22 > 0:10:26with Will You Love Me Tomorrow in 1961?

0:10:26 > 0:10:31Singing it in my head - badly, I must admit.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32HE LAUGHS

0:10:32 > 0:10:36The Ravelles, as a guess.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38OK. The Ravelles.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42I can see you're on to it. This is one you'd have got from a list.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46But it's not. That's incorrect. You've got the second half of it,

0:10:46 > 0:10:50- which gives Barry a bit of a clue. - It was the Shirelles.- Shirelles,

0:10:50 > 0:10:53which means Barry has a chance here to take the round.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57Barry, what is the title of the 1986 UK top-ten single

0:10:57 > 0:11:00for Robert Palmer, that became famous for its video

0:11:00 > 0:11:02featuring models with slicked-back hair and red lipstick

0:11:02 > 0:11:04performing as the backing band?

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Oh, this is that absolutely iconic video,

0:11:07 > 0:11:10which has subsequently been parodied quite successfully.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13What was the song? Er, I'm not sure.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'll go for Dead Ringer For Love.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18- DERMOT LAUGHS - Meat Loaf!

0:11:18 > 0:11:21HE LAUGHS Not quite the same thing, then!

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Not really. I bet Gary will know. I'll pass his over to you.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28- What do you think, Gary? - Er, classic video.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Addicted To Love. - Addicted To Love.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34So you both knew each other's answer there. Interesting!

0:11:34 > 0:11:36But on we go.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40Gary, the 19th-century opera singer Giuseppina Strepponi

0:11:40 > 0:11:43married which Italian composer?

0:11:45 > 0:11:48I'm going to have, honestly, no idea, Dermot.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50- I really don't know. - Nothing...

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Nothing's even popping vaguely into my brain, I'm afraid.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- OK. So, not hazarding a guess. - No. I will pass.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- OK. Barry? - I'm not sure.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02It's either Puccini or Verdi.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Er, 19th century? That sounds early. I'll go for Verdi.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Yeah. Giuseppi Verdi is what we needed to hear.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11We heard it from Barry but not Gary,

0:12:11 > 0:12:14the relevant person, so this is your question, Barry.

0:12:14 > 0:12:19How We Do (Party) was a number-one single for which artist in 2012?

0:12:19 > 0:12:25- How We Do (Party).- Oh, there have been so many number ones in 2012!

0:12:25 > 0:12:27But this is one that has passed me by.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31- I'll try Rita Ora. - Well done.- Oh!

0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Brilliant. - Gasps from the Eggheads,

0:12:33 > 0:12:36because you've plucked it out of the air! It's the right answer.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Rita Ora. Bad luck, Gary!

0:12:39 > 0:12:42I thought we were going to face another pair of questions, but no.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46Barry's in the final round. Please come back and join your teams.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Well, 60 Not Out kind of 58 Not Out now.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53They've lost two brains from the final round.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56The Eggheads haven't lost any.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Our next subject, third round, is on Science,

0:12:58 > 0:13:01and three of you remain there. Neil, Rob or Paul?

0:13:01 > 0:13:04- You said you wanted this one. - Everyone's looking at me.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07- It does depend what the question is. - It does.- It does.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Go on. You're bright.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13All right, Rob. And pick your Egghead - Pat, Chris or Dave.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16I'd go with Dave. He's a nice bloke.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19I'll go with Dave, the thoroughly nice bloke on the end.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Nice, and tremendously knowledged. - THEY CHATTER

0:13:23 > 0:13:25We'll see about the tremendously knowledged.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Let's have Rob and Dave into the question room, please.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31Well, Rob, it must be said, those that have gone before you

0:13:31 > 0:13:34from 60 Not Out haven't had the luck. Let's hope you get some.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, if I could.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43OK. Best of luck, Rob. First question.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Which scientific process plays an important role

0:13:45 > 0:13:48in the production of yoghurt?

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Er, well, electrolysis, I'd say no, certainly.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57The fermentation side of things,

0:13:57 > 0:14:00you look more towards alcohol and the like.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- I'll go with saponification. - OK. Saponification.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Er, fermentation. - Oh, of course. Silly.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09So, what is saponification, Eggheads?

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- It's making soap. - Making soap, apparently.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Ooh! OK.- Might not taste too good in the yoghurt, then.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18OK. Dave's first question.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22What type of bird is an egret? E-G-R-E-T.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- I think it's a heron. - It is, yes.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30You have a lead. OK, Rob.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34The first SMS text message, "Merry Christmas",

0:14:34 > 0:14:37was sent by Neil Papworth in which year?

0:14:41 > 0:14:46Well, by 1999 I'd had a phone for a number of years,

0:14:46 > 0:14:48so it was before that, certainly.

0:14:48 > 0:14:531985, I would've thought phones were a little less advanced,

0:14:53 > 0:14:55although the principle was thought of.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59I'm going to risk saying '92.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01OK. 1992.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04It's the right answer, yes. 1992. OK.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Right, Dave. Your second question.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08What age was Lawrence Bragg

0:15:08 > 0:15:11when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics

0:15:11 > 0:15:13jointly with his father?

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Don't know. Not heard of this at all.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Um... I'm going to go...

0:15:25 > 0:15:28I'm leaning towards the right. I'll go 45.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30OK. 45 for Lawrence Bragg.

0:15:30 > 0:15:35- Lawrence Bragg was actually the other end of that.- 25. Fair enough!

0:15:35 > 0:15:38All right. Well, that's great news for you, Rob.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Still all square, and your third question.

0:15:40 > 0:15:46Metis is one of the moons of which planet? M-E-T-I-S.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53I have to be honest, and I'll say straight away that I'm not sure,

0:15:53 > 0:15:55so it would have to be a guess.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Um... I would lean...

0:16:01 > 0:16:03..towards Saturn,

0:16:03 > 0:16:06for no other reason than, it's in the middle.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09OK. And Metis might be one of its moons.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11It's not, though. Do you know, Dave?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- I'll have to go with Jupiter on that basis.- Jupiter, yeah.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17And then a chance for you to take the round, Dave.

0:16:17 > 0:16:22At room temperature, the element vanadium exists in which state?

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Hmm! I thought it was a solid,

0:16:26 > 0:16:28but could be very wrong.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31I'll go solid.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33And that's how we can describe your performance,

0:16:33 > 0:16:37- in spite of that slip in the middle. - It wasn't that solid, was it?

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Wrong and wrong!

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- More solid than Rob's. - THEY LAUGH

0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's the right answer, which puts you into the final round.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48Bad luck, Rob. Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:16:49 > 0:16:53Well, 60 Not Out have now lost three brains from the final round.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55The Eggheads haven't lost any. But things can change.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Things MUST change for you. - It would be helpful!

0:16:58 > 0:17:02You can knock an Egghead out, hopefully, on our last head-to-head.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04It's Sport!

0:17:04 > 0:17:08- And, Neil or Paul, Sport. - Yeah. It's going to be me, Dermot.

0:17:08 > 0:17:13OK, Neil. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads - Chris or Pat?

0:17:13 > 0:17:15THEY LAUGH

0:17:15 > 0:17:20- I'll play Chris.- OK. Let's have Neil and Chris into the Question Room.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Neil, how do you want to play it? Do you want to go first or second?

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Why break the trend? I'll go first.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33You could do with breaking the trend on the outcome, Neil. Off you go.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37First question. The National Hot Rod Association is the governing body

0:17:37 > 0:17:39of which sport?

0:17:42 > 0:17:46I can't imagine there are too many hot rods in pigeon racing

0:17:46 > 0:17:48or horse racing, so I've got to say drag racing.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Yes, right answer. Good start. And, Chris,

0:17:52 > 0:17:56Victor Ubogu represented England at which sport?

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Doesn't ring any bells with cricket.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05The whole name sounds like a great big fella,

0:18:05 > 0:18:09- so I'll say Rugby Union. - He is. He is, yeah.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11It's interesting... He is a great big fella,

0:18:11 > 0:18:15and does play rugby, yes. Rugby Union is the right answer.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17And, er, OK, then, Neil.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Second question. The Football Association's Centre of Excellence,

0:18:20 > 0:18:23which opened in 2012, is in which county?

0:18:28 > 0:18:30That is a tough one. Um...

0:18:33 > 0:18:35It's going to be a complete guess.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Er... I'll say...

0:18:39 > 0:18:41I'll say Warwickshire.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Warwickshire for the Centre of Excellence. Dave?

0:18:44 > 0:18:46It's Staffordshire, near Burton-on-Trent, I think.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48It's Staffordshire, so nothing there.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50And, Chris,

0:18:50 > 0:18:54which cyclist won Britain's first gold medal

0:18:54 > 0:18:56at the 2012 Paralympics?

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Think back to the Paralympics.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05Was that not Karen Darke?

0:19:05 > 0:19:10- It was not, no. Other Eggheads? - Sarah Storey.- Sarah Storey.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Mm-hm.- And it means it's all square as we go into a third question each.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16The American football team which started out as the Boston Braves

0:19:16 > 0:19:19is now known by what name?

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Er...at this point I wish Gary was answering this question,

0:19:27 > 0:19:30cos he'd have a much better idea than me.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34I'm guessing we're looking at an Indian,

0:19:34 > 0:19:36or a Native American Indian connection,

0:19:36 > 0:19:38so I think I'll discount the Chicago Bears.

0:19:38 > 0:19:44Um, I'll go with the Washington Redskins.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47That's where they went. It's the right answer, yes.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50To Washington. All right! Need this, then, Chris,

0:19:50 > 0:19:54as you well know. Inaugurated in 1966,

0:19:54 > 0:19:57the Sprint Cup is a Group One horse race

0:19:57 > 0:19:59normally run at which course?

0:20:02 > 0:20:07Er, Lingfield's Sussex. Sandown Park's near Hampton Court.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Haydock's up near Wigan. Um...

0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Lingfield Park. - Lingfield Park.

0:20:16 > 0:20:21No, it's not! And, er, any Egghead, tell me.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25- I think it's Haydock Park. - It's at Haydock Park.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Which means...you've done it, Neil! You're through to the final round.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Congratulations. - Thank you.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:20:35 > 0:20:37And so this is what we've been playing towards.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43But those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:20:43 > 0:20:46won't be allowed to take part, so, Steve, Rob and Gary

0:20:46 > 0:20:49from 60 Not Out, and Chris from the Eggheads,

0:20:49 > 0:20:52would you all depart the studio now, please?

0:20:53 > 0:20:56So, Neil and Paul, you're playing to win 60 Not Out £2,000.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Dave, Daphne, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something

0:20:59 > 0:21:03which money cannot buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08The questions are all general knowledge. You know that,

0:21:08 > 0:21:11and you are allowed to confer. So, Neil and Paul, the question is,

0:21:11 > 0:21:14are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:21:14 > 0:21:17And Neil and Paul, do you want to go first or second?

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Well, going first has served us pretty well so far, I think,

0:21:20 > 0:21:22so we'll stick with that.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28Let's hope it serves you even better in this final round,

0:21:28 > 0:21:30and you can beat the Eggheads. Here's your first question.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34According to the popular saying, it takes two to what?

0:21:36 > 0:21:40According to the popular saying, it takes two to...

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Well, we're agreed on this one. It's tango.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46Yeah. No messing about. You can have a little tango if you win the money.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Two to tango. Correct.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51And, Eggheads, which French bishop,

0:21:51 > 0:21:54after whom a choux-pastry dessert is named,

0:21:54 > 0:21:57is the patron saint of bakers?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05My first thought would be Saint Honore.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Eclair is just the French word for lightning,

0:22:08 > 0:22:11so I can't imagine there'd be a bishop called that.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14And Profiterole... No. It's got to be Saint Honore.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Have you ever heard of a pastry called an honore?

0:22:17 > 0:22:20It rings a very vague bell with me, but...

0:22:20 > 0:22:24- I've never heard of it. - There can't be a Saint Profiterole.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Go for Saint Honore.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29I've never heard of it.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32- No. - OK. Go for that.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36OK. We're uncertain of this, but we're going to go for Saint Honore.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Not Profiterole? Saint Profiterole?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Well, it sounds as if there ought to be one.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45- It is Honore. It's the right answer. - Well done, well done.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48And second question to you, 60 Not Out.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51A ploughshare is what part of a plough?

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I think it's the blade. - So do I.- You think it's the blade?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Yeah.- We'll go for it. - Another one we're agreed on.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00- We think it's the blade. - The blade...

0:23:00 > 0:23:03What's that phrase you all know?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Beating swords into ploughshares.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08It's the right answer, yeah!

0:23:09 > 0:23:13And, Eggheads, which island lies north of Java

0:23:13 > 0:23:16on the opposite side of the Java Sea?

0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Borneo, isn't it? - Has to be Borneo.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25- New Guinea is well east of Java, a long way east.- Yeah.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28- It's certainly not Madagascar. - Must be Borneo.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32- Sumatra, Java... Yeah. Borneo's... - Borneo.- Borneo?

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Yeah. That's Borneo. - Borneo.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38It's the right answer, Eggheads. It's all square again.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41And, er, doing really well here, guys, Neil and Paul.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Third question. Which American writer won a Pulitzer Prize

0:23:44 > 0:23:48for non-fiction for his book The Armies Of The Night?

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Um, Norman Mailer's more of a novel-writer.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56I'm pretty sure John Updike is as well.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00- So my first instinct is Philip Roth. - Yeah. I...

0:24:00 > 0:24:02I'm not sure, to be absolutely honest.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06I don't know, but when the answers went up,

0:24:06 > 0:24:09my first thought was Philip Roth, so, yeah.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11We're not at all sure, but we think it was Philip Roth.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15OK. Philip Roth, the author of The Armies Of The Night.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18It's incorrect. Eggheads?

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Norman Mailer. - It is Norman Mailer.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23So, a chance for the Eggheads to win the game.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Which member of the cast of The Great Escape

0:24:25 > 0:24:28had actually spent time as a prisoner of war,

0:24:28 > 0:24:31having been shot down while serving with the RAF?

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Which member of the cast of The Great Escape

0:24:36 > 0:24:38had actually spent time as a prisoner of war,

0:24:38 > 0:24:41having been shot down while serving with the RAF?

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Well, I don't think it's Richard Attenborough.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48I'm sure we would have heard of this if it had been Richard Attenborough.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50No. Because I can't think of any military...

0:24:50 > 0:24:54Gordon Jackson probably did serve, didn't he?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Yeah. Sort of military bearing, for what it's worth.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Probably served in a Scottish regiment.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01- I really don't know. - Donald Pleasence?

0:25:01 > 0:25:05- It's possible, I suppose. - It is possible, Donald Pleasence.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08For what it's worth, I'm inclined to go for Gordon Jackson.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Yeah. I prefer... - You prefer Gordon Jackson?

0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Yeah. I think Gordon Jackson. - We certainly don't know this.

0:25:14 > 0:25:19We've got the faintest of feelings it might be Gordon Jackson.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22OK. Interesting what you were saying about Gordon Jackson,

0:25:22 > 0:25:24that he might have served with a Scottish regiment.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27The question says the RAF. You heard it twice.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30- It's Donald Pleasence! - Oh!- Right. Fair enough.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Well, well, Eggheads - not listening really!

0:25:33 > 0:25:36It's all square. We go to Sudden Death, so every chance here.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40Sweet Bird Of Youth, first produced in 1959,

0:25:40 > 0:25:42is a work by which American playwright?

0:25:42 > 0:25:47Sweet Bird Of Youth, first produced in 1959...

0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Tennessee Williams?- ..is a work by which American playwright?

0:25:50 > 0:25:53It sounds like the sort of thing he might write.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55It sounds like his sort of title.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59- I can't think of any other American playwrights, so...- Yeah.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Go with Tennessee Williams? - Yeah.- We're out on a limb here,

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- but we're going to go with Tennessee Williams.- Right out on a limb,

0:26:05 > 0:26:09hoping it doesn't break off and plunge you into the river below.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13It's the right answer! Tennessee Williams. OK!

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Well, back in the lead,

0:26:15 > 0:26:19and you beat the Eggheads if they don't get this.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Eggheads, who founded the company

0:26:21 > 0:26:24which evolved into the English National Opera,

0:26:24 > 0:26:27and ran the Old Vic theatre until her death in 1937?

0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Lilian Baylis? - Is it Lilian Baylis?

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Is that her name? - Yeah. Lilian Baylis.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Yeah. - Yeah.- OK?

0:26:33 > 0:26:38- We think that's Lilian Baylis. - Is the right answer. Lilian Baylis.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40On we go. Another pair of questions.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Well, let's hope you get closer to the trunk.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46You're not out on a limb with this one. Best of luck.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Who broke into the movie business

0:26:48 > 0:26:52when Samuel Goldwyn brought him from Broadway to Hollywood

0:26:52 > 0:26:55to choreograph dance numbers for the 1930 film, Whoopee!?

0:26:55 > 0:26:59I don't think he ever looked like a natural leading man,

0:26:59 > 0:27:01but I'd go with Fred Astaire.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05I don't know why, but that was the first name I thought of as well,

0:27:05 > 0:27:09so I'm afraid we're still out on a limb, but Fred Astaire.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11- HE LAUGHS - Fred Astaire. OK.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14Well, someone has sawn through it.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16It's not Fred Astaire.

0:27:16 > 0:27:21- Choreographed... That could easily have been Fred Astaire.- Busby...

0:27:21 > 0:27:24- You're saying it now. A choreographer.- Busby Berkeley.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Yes, Busby Berkeley, or "Barclay", as we might say.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30You got it at the second time of asking,

0:27:30 > 0:27:34but that doesn't count. So, Eggheads, another chance.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38Which Nobel Prize-winning French author was killed

0:27:38 > 0:27:41in a car accident in January 1960?

0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Albert Camus. - Albert Camus.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45I think he holds the unfortunate record

0:27:45 > 0:27:48of the shortest gap between his prize and his death.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52- I think it's, er... Albert? - Yeah.- Albert.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54- Albert Camus. - Albert Camus...

0:27:54 > 0:27:58is the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Well, some great quizzing there. The Eggheads applauding you,

0:28:06 > 0:28:10because they know how close they were to another defeat.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12Thank you for taking the Eggheads on today.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14Didn't go so well in the head-to-heads,

0:28:14 > 0:28:16but at that point you won through, Neil.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19I said things can change, and look how close you got.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Thank you for giving the Eggheads a really close game today.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24But they've done what comes naturally to them,

0:28:24 > 0:28:26and still reign supreme over Quiz Land.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £2,000.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31That means the money rolls over to the next show,

0:28:31 > 0:28:34so congratulations, Eggheads.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:37 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £3,000 says they don't.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Until then, goodbye.
