These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:12

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:120:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:20

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:230:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:30

They are the Eggheads! And taking on the might

0:00:300:00:33

of our quiz Goliaths today are 60 Not Out.

0:00:330:00:36

This team of friends are all associated

0:00:360:00:38

with Southampton Hospital Radio,

0:00:380:00:40

which recently celebrated 60 years, no less, on air. Let's meet them!

0:00:400:00:45

Hello! I'm Steve. I'm 62 years old, and I'm a retired salesman.

0:00:450:00:49

Hello. I'm Neil. I'm 48, and I'm a freelance property developer.

0:00:490:00:54

Hi. I'm Rob. I'm 35, and I'm a civil servant.

0:00:540:00:57

Hello. I'm Paul. I'm 49, and I'm a civil servant.

0:00:570:00:59

Hi, I'm Gary. I'm 41, and I'm a section coordinator.

0:00:590:01:03

Welcome to you, and congratulations on Southampton Hospital Radio.

0:01:030:01:07

I take it none of you were there right at the beginning.

0:01:070:01:09

-He's almost old enough.

-I thought about it, but no.

0:01:090:01:12

What do you have on the radio? I mean, is it a broad range of things?

0:01:120:01:16

Oh, yes. Everything from pop music through to football to operas,

0:01:160:01:21

anything you like. We've got a vast library that we pick records from.

0:01:210:01:26

Records! CDs, anything you like. DERMOT LAUGHS

0:01:260:01:30

-And do you have a quiz on it?

-We have had a quiz on it.

0:01:300:01:33

We are the champions against BBC Radio Solent.

0:01:330:01:38

We beat them, and we've got a clock to say so.

0:01:380:01:41

Oh, right! You might get a bit more than a clock here

0:01:410:01:44

if you manage to beat the Eggheads. Every day there's £1,000

0:01:440:01:47

up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:470:01:49

However, If they fail, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:490:01:53

So, 60 Not Out, the Eggheads have won just the last game,

0:01:530:01:56

which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.

0:01:560:01:59

Can you knock an Egghead out on our first category, History?

0:01:590:02:02

Who'd like to play this? History.

0:02:020:02:05

-It's not going to be me.

-How about you, Steve?

0:02:050:02:08

Apparently, how about me, Steve? THEY LAUGH

0:02:080:02:10

How about you, Steve, and how about an Egghead to play, then?

0:02:100:02:15

-I've got to go for Daphne. I love Daphne.

-Oh!

0:02:150:02:18

-We all love Daphne.

-No, I'm first.

0:02:180:02:20

-THEY LAUGH

-I'll join the queue.

0:02:200:02:23

It's Steve and Daphne playing the first round.

0:02:230:02:26

Into the Question Room, please.

0:02:260:02:29

OK, Steve. Ready to charge into battle against Daphne.

0:02:290:02:32

-Would you like to go first or second?

-I was pondering this,

0:02:320:02:35

and the pondering came to first.

0:02:350:02:38

OK. Well, ponder this question, then, Steve.

0:02:400:02:42

Which king of England died in 1553 at the age of 15?

0:02:420:02:47

Did I say I love history?

0:02:510:02:54

Charles II was doing a certain amount of wandering.

0:02:540:02:58

I think he went off to France in the end.

0:02:580:03:00

George IV is the fourth George.

0:03:000:03:03

That's that.

0:03:030:03:05

And Edward VI...

0:03:050:03:08

I don't know. Edward.

0:03:080:03:10

Edward VI. It is Edward VI, yes, of course.

0:03:100:03:13

-Hurray!

-Of course that's Henry VIII's son.

0:03:130:03:16

And, Daphne, the ankh was a symbol representing life

0:03:160:03:20

in which ancient civilisation?

0:03:200:03:23

A-N-K-H, the ankh or "ankha".

0:03:260:03:28

That was the Egyptian.

0:03:280:03:31

Egyptian is correct. OK. One apiece, and back to you, Steve.

0:03:320:03:36

Which historical region was situated

0:03:360:03:39

on the south coast of the Baltic Sea,

0:03:390:03:41

covering parts of what is now Germany and Poland?

0:03:410:03:45

Well, Gaul, I'm led to believe by Asterix,

0:03:470:03:51

was in France.

0:03:510:03:53

Pomerania, to my knowledge, is a dog.

0:03:530:03:58

HE LAUGHS

0:03:580:04:00

Thrace I get the feeling is Greek to a degree, but...

0:04:000:04:04

-Thrace!

-OK.

0:04:060:04:08

And, yes, Pomeranian dogs, slightly Germanic.

0:04:080:04:13

-It's Pomerania.

-Argh!

0:04:130:04:16

OK. And, Daphne, how many US presidents were there

0:04:160:04:19

in the 18th century?

0:04:190:04:21

Um... Two.

0:04:240:04:26

Can you name them?

0:04:260:04:28

Um, George Washington

0:04:280:04:31

and John Adams.

0:04:310:04:33

Yes. You didn't need to.

0:04:330:04:34

The extra information doesn't give you any more points,

0:04:340:04:37

but it shows why you're an Egghead. It's two-one to you, then,

0:04:370:04:42

and means Steve needs this.

0:04:420:04:44

Which country is generally considered to be the first nation

0:04:440:04:47

to have formally adopted Christianity as the state religion?

0:04:470:04:51

I thought the first was Rome, the Roman,

0:04:540:04:57

but of those three...

0:04:570:05:00

Oh, I like the sound of Armenia. Let's go for Armenia.

0:05:010:05:05

Much better. It's the right answer. Yes, well done.

0:05:050:05:08

OK. Still in it, but Daphne needs to mess this one up

0:05:080:05:11

for you to survive into Sudden Death.

0:05:110:05:14

What name was given to the English and Scottish families

0:05:140:05:17

who conducted cross-border raids

0:05:170:05:19

between the 13th and 17th centuries?

0:05:190:05:22

I think they were the Reivers.

0:05:250:05:28

Yes, Steve nodding. Knows it's all over there.

0:05:290:05:32

He knew, but it wasn't his question. Daphne's in the final round.

0:05:320:05:36

No place for you, Steve. Please come back and join your teams.

0:05:360:05:39

Well, Steve tells me he still loves Daphne

0:05:400:05:43

in spite of what she just did to him - knocked him out of the game.

0:05:430:05:47

60 Not Out have lost that one brain from the final round.

0:05:470:05:50

Our second head-to-head. It's come up as Music.

0:05:500:05:52

Now, given what you do,

0:05:520:05:55

I'm sure plenty of you would like to play this. Who's it going to be?

0:05:550:05:59

Looks like they're all looking at me, Dermot.

0:05:590:06:02

-Go for it.

-OK. And choose an Egghead.

0:06:020:06:04

Just remember it can't be Daphne.

0:06:040:06:07

-What do you think?

-Barry was first choice.

0:06:070:06:10

-Yeah? Barry it is, then.

-Barry, first choice!

0:06:100:06:13

Gary and Barry, into the Question Room, please.

0:06:130:06:16

So, Gary, Music, given the round.

0:06:170:06:20

-What type of music do you play on the show?

-When I play with Neil,

0:06:200:06:24

we call it Guy Dunbar's Lounge.

0:06:240:06:27

Don't ask me why Neil decided on that name,

0:06:270:06:29

but we do. It's a broad range.

0:06:290:06:31

Sometimes we pick a theme, so it might be '80s electronic music.

0:06:310:06:35

It might be movie themes. Sometimes we just mix and match,

0:06:350:06:39

-play as we feel.

-OK.

0:06:390:06:41

-Bit like the selection of questions here - mix and match.

-Yeah.

0:06:410:06:45

-Would you like to go first or second?

-I'll go first.

0:06:450:06:48

Best of luck, Gary. Here's your first question.

0:06:510:06:53

According to a song in The Sound Of Music,

0:06:530:06:56

what are alive with the sound of music?

0:06:560:06:58

Wow! If I don't get this right,

0:07:000:07:03

I have a feeling my girlfriend will probably disown me.

0:07:030:07:07

I'd love to say "the nuns" because that just would be very funny,

0:07:070:07:10

but I'm pretty sure it's the hills.

0:07:100:07:13

-Is your girlfriend Julie Andrews?

-THEY LAUGH

0:07:130:07:15

Er, no.

0:07:150:07:18

-But a big fan of The Sound Of Music?

-Musicals in general, yeah.

0:07:180:07:22

It's the right answer. The hills.

0:07:220:07:24

Barry, in her stage name, the singer known as Pink

0:07:240:07:29

replaces the letter I with which symbol?

0:07:290:07:32

Oh! That's a good question.

0:07:350:07:37

Just trying to remember when I last saw her stage name in print.

0:07:370:07:41

It's not an asterisk. I think it's a dollar sign.

0:07:410:07:44

OK. Just kind of flaunting the amount of money she's making

0:07:460:07:49

-out of her fans?

-I couldn't possibly comment on that.

0:07:490:07:53

But it's not. It's an exclamation mark replacing the I,

0:07:530:07:56

so it still says "Pink". Well, that's great news, Gary.

0:07:560:08:00

Could be off to a really good start here if you get this.

0:08:000:08:03

Which song gave ABBA their second UK number-one single?

0:08:030:08:07

HE SIGHS

0:08:100:08:12

Super Trouper definitely is a number one.

0:08:120:08:16

Mamma Mia's too old.

0:08:160:08:20

I don't think I Have A Dream made number one.

0:08:200:08:23

-I'm going to say Super Trouper.

-STEVE GROANS

0:08:230:08:27

OK. It's incorrect.

0:08:270:08:30

-Eggheads?

-I think Waterloo was the first number one.

0:08:300:08:33

-Mamma Mia was the second number one.

-Yeah. Mamma Mia.

0:08:330:08:36

It was Mamma Mia. So, Barry,

0:08:360:08:39

chance should pull it back.

0:08:390:08:42

Barry, which song starts with the lines,

0:08:420:08:44

"I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show,

0:08:440:08:47

My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw"?

0:08:470:08:50

I'm just playing this through in my head now,

0:08:540:08:57

and I'm absolutely certain this is Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves.

0:08:570:09:00

It is, yeah. Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves, by...

0:09:000:09:03

-Er, was it Cher?

-Yeah.

0:09:030:09:06

Cher. Right again by the Eggheads.

0:09:060:09:08

It's all square, then, going into a third question for each of you.

0:09:080:09:12

And, Gary, who wrote The One And Only,

0:09:120:09:15

a hit single for Chesney Hawkes in 1991?

0:09:150:09:18

Oh... I know it's definitely not Paul Young,

0:09:220:09:25

cos my mum likes Paul Young.

0:09:250:09:28

Strange way of eliminating him, I know.

0:09:280:09:30

Cathy Dennis has written for other people,

0:09:300:09:33

but not that early, so I'm going to say

0:09:330:09:36

'80s icon and legend Nik Kershaw.

0:09:360:09:40

'80s icon and legend! It is indeed Nik Kershaw.

0:09:400:09:43

Right, back in the lead.

0:09:430:09:46

Gary and Barry, which pianist, who lost an arm in World War I,

0:09:460:09:50

commissioned works for the left hand only

0:09:500:09:53

by Ravel, Britten and Prokofiev among others?

0:09:530:09:57

He was the brother of the famous philosopher,

0:10:000:10:04

-and it was Paul Wittgenstein.

-Oh, I wondered that!

0:10:040:10:06

So, there's the link there. OK. Paul Wittgenstein. Correct.

0:10:060:10:10

Right. Well, it's all square, as you can see there, Gary,

0:10:100:10:14

and we go into Sudden Death and remove the options

0:10:140:10:17

to make it harder, to sort out a winner.

0:10:170:10:19

This one to you. Which girl group had a UK hit single

0:10:190:10:22

with Will You Love Me Tomorrow in 1961?

0:10:220:10:26

Singing it in my head - badly, I must admit.

0:10:260:10:31

HE LAUGHS

0:10:310:10:32

The Ravelles, as a guess.

0:10:320:10:36

OK. The Ravelles.

0:10:360:10:38

I can see you're on to it. This is one you'd have got from a list.

0:10:380:10:42

But it's not. That's incorrect. You've got the second half of it,

0:10:420:10:46

-which gives Barry a bit of a clue.

-It was the Shirelles.

-Shirelles,

0:10:460:10:50

which means Barry has a chance here to take the round.

0:10:500:10:53

Barry, what is the title of the 1986 UK top-ten single

0:10:530:10:57

for Robert Palmer, that became famous for its video

0:10:570:11:00

featuring models with slicked-back hair and red lipstick

0:11:000:11:02

performing as the backing band?

0:11:020:11:04

Oh, this is that absolutely iconic video,

0:11:040:11:07

which has subsequently been parodied quite successfully.

0:11:070:11:10

What was the song? Er, I'm not sure.

0:11:100:11:13

I'll go for Dead Ringer For Love.

0:11:130:11:16

-DERMOT LAUGHS

-Meat Loaf!

0:11:160:11:18

HE LAUGHS Not quite the same thing, then!

0:11:180:11:21

Not really. I bet Gary will know. I'll pass his over to you.

0:11:210:11:25

-What do you think, Gary?

-Er, classic video.

0:11:250:11:28

-Addicted To Love.

-Addicted To Love.

0:11:280:11:31

So you both knew each other's answer there. Interesting!

0:11:310:11:34

But on we go.

0:11:340:11:36

Gary, the 19th-century opera singer Giuseppina Strepponi

0:11:360:11:40

married which Italian composer?

0:11:400:11:43

I'm going to have, honestly, no idea, Dermot.

0:11:450:11:48

-I really don't know.

-Nothing...

0:11:480:11:50

Nothing's even popping vaguely into my brain, I'm afraid.

0:11:500:11:54

-OK. So, not hazarding a guess.

-No. I will pass.

0:11:540:11:57

-OK. Barry?

-I'm not sure.

0:11:570:12:00

It's either Puccini or Verdi.

0:12:000:12:02

Er, 19th century? That sounds early. I'll go for Verdi.

0:12:020:12:05

Yeah. Giuseppi Verdi is what we needed to hear.

0:12:050:12:08

We heard it from Barry but not Gary,

0:12:080:12:11

the relevant person, so this is your question, Barry.

0:12:110:12:14

How We Do (Party) was a number-one single for which artist in 2012?

0:12:140:12:19

-How We Do (Party).

-Oh, there have been so many number ones in 2012!

0:12:190:12:25

But this is one that has passed me by.

0:12:250:12:27

-I'll try Rita Ora.

-Well done.

-Oh!

0:12:290:12:31

-Brilliant.

-Gasps from the Eggheads,

0:12:310:12:33

because you've plucked it out of the air! It's the right answer.

0:12:330:12:36

Rita Ora. Bad luck, Gary!

0:12:360:12:39

I thought we were going to face another pair of questions, but no.

0:12:390:12:42

Barry's in the final round. Please come back and join your teams.

0:12:420:12:46

Well, 60 Not Out kind of 58 Not Out now.

0:12:470:12:50

They've lost two brains from the final round.

0:12:500:12:53

The Eggheads haven't lost any.

0:12:530:12:56

Our next subject, third round, is on Science,

0:12:560:12:58

and three of you remain there. Neil, Rob or Paul?

0:12:580:13:01

-You said you wanted this one.

-Everyone's looking at me.

0:13:010:13:04

-It does depend what the question is.

-It does.

-It does.

0:13:040:13:07

Go on. You're bright.

0:13:070:13:09

All right, Rob. And pick your Egghead - Pat, Chris or Dave.

0:13:090:13:13

I'd go with Dave. He's a nice bloke.

0:13:130:13:16

I'll go with Dave, the thoroughly nice bloke on the end.

0:13:160:13:19

-Nice, and tremendously knowledged.

-THEY CHATTER

0:13:190:13:23

We'll see about the tremendously knowledged.

0:13:230:13:25

Let's have Rob and Dave into the question room, please.

0:13:250:13:28

Well, Rob, it must be said, those that have gone before you

0:13:280:13:31

from 60 Not Out haven't had the luck. Let's hope you get some.

0:13:310:13:34

-Would you like to go first or second?

-I'll go first, if I could.

0:13:340:13:38

OK. Best of luck, Rob. First question.

0:13:410:13:43

Which scientific process plays an important role

0:13:430:13:45

in the production of yoghurt?

0:13:450:13:48

Er, well, electrolysis, I'd say no, certainly.

0:13:510:13:55

The fermentation side of things,

0:13:550:13:57

you look more towards alcohol and the like.

0:13:570:14:00

-I'll go with saponification.

-OK. Saponification.

0:14:000:14:03

-Er, fermentation.

-Oh, of course. Silly.

0:14:030:14:06

So, what is saponification, Eggheads?

0:14:060:14:09

-It's making soap.

-Making soap, apparently.

0:14:090:14:12

-Ooh! OK.

-Might not taste too good in the yoghurt, then.

0:14:120:14:16

OK. Dave's first question.

0:14:160:14:18

What type of bird is an egret? E-G-R-E-T.

0:14:180:14:22

-I think it's a heron.

-It is, yes.

0:14:250:14:28

You have a lead. OK, Rob.

0:14:280:14:30

The first SMS text message, "Merry Christmas",

0:14:300:14:34

was sent by Neil Papworth in which year?

0:14:340:14:37

Well, by 1999 I'd had a phone for a number of years,

0:14:410:14:46

so it was before that, certainly.

0:14:460:14:48

1985, I would've thought phones were a little less advanced,

0:14:480:14:53

although the principle was thought of.

0:14:530:14:55

I'm going to risk saying '92.

0:14:550:14:59

OK. 1992.

0:14:590:15:01

It's the right answer, yes. 1992. OK.

0:15:010:15:04

Right, Dave. Your second question.

0:15:040:15:06

What age was Lawrence Bragg

0:15:060:15:08

when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics

0:15:080:15:11

jointly with his father?

0:15:110:15:13

Don't know. Not heard of this at all.

0:15:170:15:20

Um... I'm going to go...

0:15:200:15:23

I'm leaning towards the right. I'll go 45.

0:15:250:15:28

OK. 45 for Lawrence Bragg.

0:15:280:15:30

-Lawrence Bragg was actually the other end of that.

-25. Fair enough!

0:15:300:15:35

All right. Well, that's great news for you, Rob.

0:15:350:15:38

Still all square, and your third question.

0:15:380:15:40

Metis is one of the moons of which planet? M-E-T-I-S.

0:15:400:15:46

I have to be honest, and I'll say straight away that I'm not sure,

0:15:490:15:53

so it would have to be a guess.

0:15:530:15:55

Um... I would lean...

0:15:550:15:58

..towards Saturn,

0:16:010:16:03

for no other reason than, it's in the middle.

0:16:030:16:06

OK. And Metis might be one of its moons.

0:16:060:16:09

It's not, though. Do you know, Dave?

0:16:090:16:11

-I'll have to go with Jupiter on that basis.

-Jupiter, yeah.

0:16:110:16:14

And then a chance for you to take the round, Dave.

0:16:140:16:17

At room temperature, the element vanadium exists in which state?

0:16:170:16:22

Hmm! I thought it was a solid,

0:16:240:16:26

but could be very wrong.

0:16:260:16:28

I'll go solid.

0:16:280:16:31

And that's how we can describe your performance,

0:16:310:16:33

-in spite of that slip in the middle.

-It wasn't that solid, was it?

0:16:330:16:37

Wrong and wrong!

0:16:370:16:39

-More solid than Rob's.

-THEY LAUGH

0:16:390:16:41

It's the right answer, which puts you into the final round.

0:16:410:16:44

Bad luck, Rob. Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:16:440:16:48

Well, 60 Not Out have now lost three brains from the final round.

0:16:490:16:53

The Eggheads haven't lost any. But things can change.

0:16:530:16:55

-Things MUST change for you.

-It would be helpful!

0:16:550:16:58

You can knock an Egghead out, hopefully, on our last head-to-head.

0:16:580:17:02

It's Sport!

0:17:020:17:04

-And, Neil or Paul, Sport.

-Yeah. It's going to be me, Dermot.

0:17:040:17:08

OK, Neil. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads - Chris or Pat?

0:17:080:17:13

THEY LAUGH

0:17:130:17:15

-I'll play Chris.

-OK. Let's have Neil and Chris into the Question Room.

0:17:150:17:20

Neil, how do you want to play it? Do you want to go first or second?

0:17:210:17:24

Why break the trend? I'll go first.

0:17:240:17:27

You could do with breaking the trend on the outcome, Neil. Off you go.

0:17:290:17:33

First question. The National Hot Rod Association is the governing body

0:17:330:17:37

of which sport?

0:17:370:17:39

I can't imagine there are too many hot rods in pigeon racing

0:17:420:17:46

or horse racing, so I've got to say drag racing.

0:17:460:17:48

Yes, right answer. Good start. And, Chris,

0:17:480:17:52

Victor Ubogu represented England at which sport?

0:17:520:17:56

Doesn't ring any bells with cricket.

0:17:580:18:01

The whole name sounds like a great big fella,

0:18:020:18:05

-so I'll say Rugby Union.

-He is. He is, yeah.

0:18:050:18:09

It's interesting... He is a great big fella,

0:18:090:18:11

and does play rugby, yes. Rugby Union is the right answer.

0:18:110:18:15

And, er, OK, then, Neil.

0:18:150:18:17

Second question. The Football Association's Centre of Excellence,

0:18:170:18:20

which opened in 2012, is in which county?

0:18:200:18:23

That is a tough one. Um...

0:18:280:18:30

It's going to be a complete guess.

0:18:330:18:35

Er... I'll say...

0:18:350:18:37

I'll say Warwickshire.

0:18:390:18:41

Warwickshire for the Centre of Excellence. Dave?

0:18:410:18:44

It's Staffordshire, near Burton-on-Trent, I think.

0:18:440:18:46

It's Staffordshire, so nothing there.

0:18:460:18:48

And, Chris,

0:18:480:18:50

which cyclist won Britain's first gold medal

0:18:500:18:54

at the 2012 Paralympics?

0:18:540:18:56

Think back to the Paralympics.

0:18:590:19:01

Was that not Karen Darke?

0:19:020:19:05

-It was not, no. Other Eggheads?

-Sarah Storey.

-Sarah Storey.

0:19:050:19:10

-Mm-hm.

-And it means it's all square as we go into a third question each.

0:19:100:19:13

The American football team which started out as the Boston Braves

0:19:130:19:16

is now known by what name?

0:19:160:19:19

Er...at this point I wish Gary was answering this question,

0:19:240:19:27

cos he'd have a much better idea than me.

0:19:270:19:30

I'm guessing we're looking at an Indian,

0:19:300:19:34

or a Native American Indian connection,

0:19:340:19:36

so I think I'll discount the Chicago Bears.

0:19:360:19:38

Um, I'll go with the Washington Redskins.

0:19:380:19:44

That's where they went. It's the right answer, yes.

0:19:440:19:47

To Washington. All right! Need this, then, Chris,

0:19:470:19:50

as you well know. Inaugurated in 1966,

0:19:500:19:54

the Sprint Cup is a Group One horse race

0:19:540:19:57

normally run at which course?

0:19:570:19:59

Er, Lingfield's Sussex. Sandown Park's near Hampton Court.

0:20:020:20:07

Haydock's up near Wigan. Um...

0:20:070:20:10

-Lingfield Park.

-Lingfield Park.

0:20:120:20:16

No, it's not! And, er, any Egghead, tell me.

0:20:160:20:21

-I think it's Haydock Park.

-It's at Haydock Park.

0:20:210:20:25

Which means...you've done it, Neil! You're through to the final round.

0:20:250:20:29

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

0:20:290:20:32

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:20:320:20:34

And so this is what we've been playing towards.

0:20:350:20:37

It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:20:370:20:41

But those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:20:410:20:43

won't be allowed to take part, so, Steve, Rob and Gary

0:20:430:20:46

from 60 Not Out, and Chris from the Eggheads,

0:20:460:20:49

would you all depart the studio now, please?

0:20:490:20:52

So, Neil and Paul, you're playing to win 60 Not Out £2,000.

0:20:530:20:56

Dave, Daphne, Barry and Pat, you're playing for something

0:20:560:20:59

which money cannot buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:20:590:21:03

I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:21:030:21:05

The questions are all general knowledge. You know that,

0:21:050:21:08

and you are allowed to confer. So, Neil and Paul, the question is,

0:21:080:21:11

are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:21:110:21:14

And Neil and Paul, do you want to go first or second?

0:21:140:21:17

Well, going first has served us pretty well so far, I think,

0:21:170:21:20

so we'll stick with that.

0:21:200:21:22

Let's hope it serves you even better in this final round,

0:21:240:21:28

and you can beat the Eggheads. Here's your first question.

0:21:280:21:30

According to the popular saying, it takes two to what?

0:21:300:21:34

According to the popular saying, it takes two to...

0:21:360:21:40

Well, we're agreed on this one. It's tango.

0:21:400:21:42

Yeah. No messing about. You can have a little tango if you win the money.

0:21:420:21:46

Two to tango. Correct.

0:21:460:21:49

And, Eggheads, which French bishop,

0:21:490:21:51

after whom a choux-pastry dessert is named,

0:21:510:21:54

is the patron saint of bakers?

0:21:540:21:57

My first thought would be Saint Honore.

0:22:020:22:05

Eclair is just the French word for lightning,

0:22:050:22:08

so I can't imagine there'd be a bishop called that.

0:22:080:22:11

And Profiterole... No. It's got to be Saint Honore.

0:22:110:22:14

Have you ever heard of a pastry called an honore?

0:22:140:22:17

It rings a very vague bell with me, but...

0:22:170:22:20

-I've never heard of it.

-There can't be a Saint Profiterole.

0:22:200:22:24

Go for Saint Honore.

0:22:240:22:26

I've never heard of it.

0:22:260:22:29

-No.

-OK. Go for that.

0:22:290:22:32

OK. We're uncertain of this, but we're going to go for Saint Honore.

0:22:320:22:36

Not Profiterole? Saint Profiterole?

0:22:360:22:39

Well, it sounds as if there ought to be one.

0:22:390:22:41

-It is Honore. It's the right answer.

-Well done, well done.

0:22:410:22:45

And second question to you, 60 Not Out.

0:22:450:22:48

A ploughshare is what part of a plough?

0:22:480:22:51

-I think it's the blade.

-So do I.

-You think it's the blade?

0:22:530:22:56

-Yeah.

-We'll go for it.

-Another one we're agreed on.

0:22:560:22:58

-We think it's the blade.

-The blade...

0:22:580:23:00

What's that phrase you all know?

0:23:000:23:03

Beating swords into ploughshares.

0:23:030:23:06

It's the right answer, yeah!

0:23:060:23:08

And, Eggheads, which island lies north of Java

0:23:090:23:13

on the opposite side of the Java Sea?

0:23:130:23:16

-Borneo, isn't it?

-Has to be Borneo.

0:23:190:23:21

-New Guinea is well east of Java, a long way east.

-Yeah.

0:23:210:23:25

-It's certainly not Madagascar.

-Must be Borneo.

0:23:250:23:28

-Sumatra, Java... Yeah. Borneo's...

-Borneo.

-Borneo?

0:23:280:23:32

-Yeah. That's Borneo.

-Borneo.

0:23:320:23:35

It's the right answer, Eggheads. It's all square again.

0:23:350:23:38

And, er, doing really well here, guys, Neil and Paul.

0:23:380:23:41

Third question. Which American writer won a Pulitzer Prize

0:23:410:23:44

for non-fiction for his book The Armies Of The Night?

0:23:440:23:48

Um, Norman Mailer's more of a novel-writer.

0:23:510:23:54

I'm pretty sure John Updike is as well.

0:23:540:23:56

-So my first instinct is Philip Roth.

-Yeah. I...

0:23:560:24:00

I'm not sure, to be absolutely honest.

0:24:000:24:02

I don't know, but when the answers went up,

0:24:020:24:06

my first thought was Philip Roth, so, yeah.

0:24:060:24:09

We're not at all sure, but we think it was Philip Roth.

0:24:090:24:11

OK. Philip Roth, the author of The Armies Of The Night.

0:24:110:24:15

It's incorrect. Eggheads?

0:24:150:24:18

-Norman Mailer.

-It is Norman Mailer.

0:24:180:24:21

So, a chance for the Eggheads to win the game.

0:24:210:24:23

Which member of the cast of The Great Escape

0:24:230:24:25

had actually spent time as a prisoner of war,

0:24:250:24:28

having been shot down while serving with the RAF?

0:24:280:24:31

Which member of the cast of The Great Escape

0:24:340:24:36

had actually spent time as a prisoner of war,

0:24:360:24:38

having been shot down while serving with the RAF?

0:24:380:24:41

Well, I don't think it's Richard Attenborough.

0:24:410:24:44

I'm sure we would have heard of this if it had been Richard Attenborough.

0:24:440:24:48

No. Because I can't think of any military...

0:24:480:24:50

Gordon Jackson probably did serve, didn't he?

0:24:500:24:54

Yeah. Sort of military bearing, for what it's worth.

0:24:540:24:57

Probably served in a Scottish regiment.

0:24:570:24:59

-I really don't know.

-Donald Pleasence?

0:24:590:25:01

-It's possible, I suppose.

-It is possible, Donald Pleasence.

0:25:010:25:05

For what it's worth, I'm inclined to go for Gordon Jackson.

0:25:050:25:08

-Yeah. I prefer...

-You prefer Gordon Jackson?

0:25:080:25:11

-Yeah. I think Gordon Jackson.

-We certainly don't know this.

0:25:110:25:14

We've got the faintest of feelings it might be Gordon Jackson.

0:25:140:25:19

OK. Interesting what you were saying about Gordon Jackson,

0:25:190:25:22

that he might have served with a Scottish regiment.

0:25:220:25:24

The question says the RAF. You heard it twice.

0:25:240:25:27

-It's Donald Pleasence!

-Oh!

-Right. Fair enough.

0:25:270:25:30

Well, well, Eggheads - not listening really!

0:25:300:25:33

It's all square. We go to Sudden Death, so every chance here.

0:25:330:25:36

Sweet Bird Of Youth, first produced in 1959,

0:25:360:25:40

is a work by which American playwright?

0:25:400:25:42

Sweet Bird Of Youth, first produced in 1959...

0:25:420:25:47

-Tennessee Williams?

-..is a work by which American playwright?

0:25:470:25:50

It sounds like the sort of thing he might write.

0:25:500:25:53

It sounds like his sort of title.

0:25:530:25:55

-I can't think of any other American playwrights, so...

-Yeah.

0:25:550:25:59

-Go with Tennessee Williams?

-Yeah.

-We're out on a limb here,

0:25:590:26:02

-but we're going to go with Tennessee Williams.

-Right out on a limb,

0:26:020:26:05

hoping it doesn't break off and plunge you into the river below.

0:26:050:26:09

It's the right answer! Tennessee Williams. OK!

0:26:090:26:13

Well, back in the lead,

0:26:130:26:15

and you beat the Eggheads if they don't get this.

0:26:150:26:19

Eggheads, who founded the company

0:26:190:26:21

which evolved into the English National Opera,

0:26:210:26:24

and ran the Old Vic theatre until her death in 1937?

0:26:240:26:27

-Lilian Baylis?

-Is it Lilian Baylis?

0:26:270:26:29

-Is that her name?

-Yeah. Lilian Baylis.

0:26:290:26:31

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-OK?

0:26:310:26:33

-We think that's Lilian Baylis.

-Is the right answer. Lilian Baylis.

0:26:330:26:38

On we go. Another pair of questions.

0:26:380:26:40

Well, let's hope you get closer to the trunk.

0:26:400:26:43

You're not out on a limb with this one. Best of luck.

0:26:430:26:46

Who broke into the movie business

0:26:460:26:48

when Samuel Goldwyn brought him from Broadway to Hollywood

0:26:480:26:52

to choreograph dance numbers for the 1930 film, Whoopee!?

0:26:520:26:55

I don't think he ever looked like a natural leading man,

0:26:550:26:59

but I'd go with Fred Astaire.

0:26:590:27:01

I don't know why, but that was the first name I thought of as well,

0:27:020:27:05

so I'm afraid we're still out on a limb, but Fred Astaire.

0:27:050:27:09

-HE LAUGHS

-Fred Astaire. OK.

0:27:090:27:11

Well, someone has sawn through it.

0:27:110:27:14

It's not Fred Astaire.

0:27:140:27:16

-Choreographed... That could easily have been Fred Astaire.

-Busby...

0:27:160:27:21

-You're saying it now. A choreographer.

-Busby Berkeley.

0:27:210:27:24

Yes, Busby Berkeley, or "Barclay", as we might say.

0:27:240:27:27

You got it at the second time of asking,

0:27:270:27:30

but that doesn't count. So, Eggheads, another chance.

0:27:300:27:34

Which Nobel Prize-winning French author was killed

0:27:340:27:38

in a car accident in January 1960?

0:27:380:27:41

-Albert Camus.

-Albert Camus.

0:27:410:27:43

I think he holds the unfortunate record

0:27:430:27:45

of the shortest gap between his prize and his death.

0:27:450:27:48

-I think it's, er... Albert?

-Yeah.

-Albert.

0:27:480:27:52

-Albert Camus.

-Albert Camus...

0:27:520:27:54

is the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.

0:27:540:27:58

Well, some great quizzing there. The Eggheads applauding you,

0:28:030:28:06

because they know how close they were to another defeat.

0:28:060:28:10

Thank you for taking the Eggheads on today.

0:28:100:28:12

Didn't go so well in the head-to-heads,

0:28:120:28:14

but at that point you won through, Neil.

0:28:140:28:16

I said things can change, and look how close you got.

0:28:160:28:19

Thank you for giving the Eggheads a really close game today.

0:28:190:28:22

But they've done what comes naturally to them,

0:28:220:28:24

and still reign supreme over Quiz Land.

0:28:240:28:26

I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £2,000.

0:28:260:28:29

That means the money rolls over to the next show,

0:28:290:28:31

so congratulations, Eggheads.

0:28:310:28:34

Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:340:28:37

have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £3,000 says they don't.
