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 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads! And taking on the awesome might
0:00:34 > 0:00:37of our quiz Goliaths today are the Blue Elephants from London.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now, this team all quiz at the Blue Post pub,
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and have the word "elephant" in their team name
0:00:43 > 0:00:47in the hope that they won't forget the answers. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi. I'm Sam. I'm 35, and a support manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi. I'm Liz. I'm 31, and I'm an office manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello. I'm Tim. I'm 63 years old, and I'm a Trading Standards officer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi. I'm Tony. I'm 58, and I'm a client-service director.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm Andy. I'm 36, and I'm a systems accountant.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Welcome to you, Blue Elephants. I thought it was a reference
0:01:08 > 0:01:10to what Dave sees when he wakes up
0:01:10 > 0:01:13after celebrating a Manchester United win.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Those blue elephants all over the ceiling, Dave!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18OK. Well, tell me about the quizzing at the Blue Post.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Is it hard? Have you won it? - We've won it quite a few times
0:01:22 > 0:01:25over successive years, actually,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and when we win enough money, we like to take ourselves on holiday.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Wow! So you win quite a bit of money?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- We try to. - Well, how much?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36On the last year it was just over £700.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Crikey! That's good going for pub quizzing.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40And how do you all know each other?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43There's family links there in the middle,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and do you work together as well?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's a combination of family and colleagues and friends.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Myself, Andy and Tony all used to work together,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and actually Tony and I still work together,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55and we've got family in the middle,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- so Liz, Tim and Tony are all family. - OK! Well, best of luck.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03I like that experience of winning quite a bit of money already.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05There's a bit more on offer today.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Blue Elephants, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19which means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22And our first head-to-head battle is on Music,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24so who'd like to play this one? Music.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- You can do Music, Tom. - Is that going to be you, Tony?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Or Andy? - I'll take it.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33OK. And which Egghead will you challenge, Tony?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- I'd suggest Pat. - Yeah?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Um, Pat, please. - Pat.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42All right. It's going to be Tony and Pat in this first round.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Would you both please go to the Question Room?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48OK, then, Tony - your choice as the challenger.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Best of luck. Which country-music song opens with the words
0:02:58 > 0:03:01"Sometimes it's hard to be a woman"?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Which country-music song opens with the words
0:03:06 > 0:03:09"Sometimes it's hard to be a woman"?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Hmm! Um...
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Crazy, I think, is a Patsy Cline song.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I don't think that starts with those words.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Er, Islands In The Stream, Dolly Parton and that other bloke...
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Er, no. That wasn't it.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I suspect it's Stand By Your Man, Dermot.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Yes, that classic. Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, wasn't it,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Islands In The Stream? Stand By Your Man is correct.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39And, Pat, first question for you.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Which classic album features the songs Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
0:03:43 > 0:03:45and You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Which classic album features the songs Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
0:03:52 > 0:03:54and You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57The songs are written by Jim Steinman.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01It's the multi-million-selling Bat Out Of Hell.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Very good, and you're both off like a bat out of hell.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Two correct - one each, of course.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09And, um, Tony, second question.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Which female singer is one of the main characters
0:04:12 > 0:04:14of the stage musical Soul Sister?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Which female singer is one of the main characters
0:04:20 > 0:04:22of the stage musical Soul Sister?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Er, possibly the word "soul" gives me a clue there, Dermot.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32I wouldn't have called Suzi Quatro or Cher soul singers,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36but I guess Tina Turner could be said to fit that category,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38so I'm going to go for the one in the middle, Tina Turner.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41OK. That's for sure. Right answer. Well done.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43And, Pat,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Tahiti Trot, by Dmitri Shostakovich,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48is an orchestration of which popular song?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Tahiti Trot, by Dmitri Shostakovich,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58is an orchestration of which popular song?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02I think that's Tea For Two.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Tea For Two. OK, yeah. It's the right answer.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Well done, Pat. All square. Both going really well. Tony,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13the Teatro di San Carlo, the world's largest opera house
0:05:13 > 0:05:17when it opened in 1737, is in which city?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23The Teatro di San Carlo, the world's largest opera house
0:05:23 > 0:05:26when it opened in 1737, is in which city?
0:05:27 > 0:05:32All in Italy, obviously. It's an Italian opera house.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39I don't... Naples and opera don't really go together for me.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Turin has more of an opera ring about it.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Is there any other way I can work this out logically?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51No, not really. I think I'll plump for Turin, Dermot.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53OK. Turin for the Teatro di San Carlo.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's not the right answer. No, it's not Turin.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Pat, do you know? - Back then Naples was a huge city,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- so I'd fancy Naples. - OK. Napoli, yes. Right answer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07We were looking for Naples, so a chance for Pat to take the round.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Pat, which band released the 1973 album Goats Head Soup?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Which band released the 1973 album Goats Head Soup?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22It's not Led Zeppelin. They had only about seven albums.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24It's not one of them.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30I think it's a slightly experimental album.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- I think it's by The Rolling Stones. - Goats Head Soup...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35by The Rolling Stones. It is correct, Pat,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38which means you've just gone into the final round.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Bad luck, Tony, with that "opera house in Naples" question.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44You won't be in the final round. Come back and join your teams.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48After that, the Eggheads are all there.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Blue Elephants have lost one brain, but plenty more quizzing to come.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Our next category, then, is Science,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57and who from the Blue Elephants would like to play this?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- It's going to be me, isn't it? - Andy?- Yep.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- That's what we decided.- Good stuff. Andy, choose your Egghead.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- It just can't be Pat. - Um, I think I'll take on Kevin.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09OK, Kevin. You fancy your chances, then?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- HE WHISPERS - Oh, well!
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Going to be a good round. Andy and Kevin, into the Question Room.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Well, Andy taking on Kevin - strong player, as you know,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22in all categories. Very strong in this one.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25He's played 28 times during the existence of Eggheads,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28and lost only once.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Let's make it twice, Andy! Do you want to go first or second?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Best of luck, and here's your first question.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Which scientific term refers to the maximum load
0:07:41 > 0:07:44that a substance can withstand while being stretched?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Which scientific term refers to the maximum load
0:07:51 > 0:07:55that a substance can withstand while being stretched?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57OK. I don't think it's B,
0:07:57 > 0:08:01cos I think that's more to do with volcanoes and things.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'm going to go with A, tensile strength.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Tensile strength is the right answer.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Good start.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12OK, Kevin.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16The last captive example of which animal died in a zoo in Hobart
0:08:16 > 0:08:18in 1936?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26The last captive example of which animal died in a zoo in Hobart
0:08:26 > 0:08:28in 1936?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32There's a classic bit of film of it not that long before it died.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- It's the Tasmanian tiger. - OK. Tasmanian tiger.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Hobart a clue to the identity there, as well.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Yeah. - Right answer, yes. Well done.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- What was it - hunted to extinction? - Yes, effectively. Yes. Yeah.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47That was it. There was, um...
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I often bring things back to films.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53There was a film released called The Hunter
0:08:53 > 0:08:57about somebody searching for rumoured ones
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- still there in the wilds of Tasmania. - You never know.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03OK. It's all square after one question each,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07and, Andy, second question. The drug salbutamol
0:09:07 > 0:09:09is commonly used to relieve which of these conditions?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15The drug salbutamol is commonly used
0:09:15 > 0:09:17to relieve which of these conditions?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21OK. Well, I've got asthma, so, um, it's asthma.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24THEY LAUGH
0:09:24 > 0:09:27No laughing matter, of course, but just a very simple one there.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Yes, asthma. Well done. And, er, Kevin,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34second question. What name is given to a vein in a leaf?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39What name is given to a vein in a leaf?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42That's an interesting one.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Er, it's not...not nervure.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Sorry. My instant thought was capillary,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54but I'm just thinking about... OK, capillary.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Capillary. It's not. - It's labrum.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Now, so... - No, it's not.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02It's nervure? I've not come across that as a term.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Wow! Well, as I said, that strong record...
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Well, it's a tiny bit worse if you get this, Andy. Best of luck.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Bordeaux mixture, used as a fungicide,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17is a mixture of water, lime and which chemical compound?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Bordeaux mixture, used as a fungicide,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29is a mixture of water, lime and which chemical compound?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Um, I'll be honest - I haven't got a clue.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Um... I'm going to go straight down the middle. Copper sulphate.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- HE LAUGHS - Copper sulphate.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44He's laughing cos he knows it's bad for the Eggheads.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46It's the right answer. It's very good for you, Blue Elephants.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Taken him out. Maybe I jinxed you, Kevin.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Yes. Yeah, that can happen. - Mentioning the record.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57That's quite an achievement, no matter what happens in the final.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Andy, you're in it. Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04So, Kevin, a gap in the knowledge there!
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- Played 29, now lost two on Science. Nervure.- Yeah. Never heard of it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Nor has anybody else, so... - We all said capillary.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Yeah. Great. Great news for Andy. Well played, Andy.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19As it stands, then, both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Let's move on to our third clash today, our third head-to-head,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27and this one is Politics. Who'd like to try to emulate Andy
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- and get into the final round? - You want me to do that?- Yes.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I'll do the Politics. I'll do Politics.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36OK, Tim. Choose your Egghead. Pat and Kevin have played,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- so it's Dave, Judith or Barry. - Barry?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Barry. Barry. I'll play Barry.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Right. Let's have Tim and Barry into the Question Room, please.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- OK, Tim. First or second for you? - I think I'll go first, Dermot.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57OK. Politics, and the opening question goes to Tim.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01In 2012, which politician made a public apology
0:12:01 > 0:12:03which was set to music by an internet site
0:12:03 > 0:12:05and released as a charity single?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11In 2012, which politician made a public apology
0:12:11 > 0:12:13which was set to music by an internet site
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- and released as a charity single? - Oh, dear, Dermot!
0:12:17 > 0:12:22I don't think David Cameron is into apologising all that much.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Er, but I do have just a faint recollection...
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- I think it's Nick Clegg. - It's the right answer. Well done.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Well worked out there by Tim.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36So, Barry, first question. The 2012 Labour Party Conference
0:12:36 > 0:12:38was held in which city?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43The 2012 Labour Party Conference was held in which city?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Oh, fortunately I missed this one,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51but I don't think it was in Exeter or Gloucester. I'll go for Manchester.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55That's correct, Barry. You did remember it. OK. And, Tim,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57which Conservative MP is the cousin of Mick Jones,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00the guitarist with The Clash?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Which Conservative MP is the cousin of Mick Jones,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08the guitarist with The Clash?
0:13:08 > 0:13:14Oh, dear. Now I feel in a bit of a pickle, Dermot. I don't...
0:13:14 > 0:13:19I can't imagine it being Eric Pickles,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23and I'm not sure that Grant Shapps would associate very much with...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27..The Clash, so it really is a stab in the dark,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30but I'm going to go for Chris Grayling.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34OK. Chris Grayling you think more likely to associate with The Clash.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Interesting! It's not Chris Grayling.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- What would you have said, Barry? - I'd have to go for Grant Shapps.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Grant Shapps is the answer we were looking for.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45So a chance, then, for Barry.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48In 2011, Micheal Martin became leader
0:13:48 > 0:13:50of which Irish political party?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55In 2011, Micheal Martin became leader
0:13:55 > 0:13:57of which Irish political party?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Oh, I'm sure Pat will be tearing his hair out as I answer this,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04because I really don't know. 2011.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09I think Fianna Fail have kind of fallen off a cliff
0:14:09 > 0:14:12in Irish politics, so I shall go for Fine Gael.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16OK. Fine Gael. Ah, all right. What do you think, Pat?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- I'd probably have gone for Fianna Fail.- It is Fianna Fail.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Oh!- So, a failure for both of you on your second question.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27And, Tim, the US government agency with the initials NARA,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30N-A-R-A, is concerned with what?
0:14:33 > 0:14:38The US government agency with the initials NARA
0:14:38 > 0:14:40is concerned with what?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I...
0:14:42 > 0:14:47don't think it's agriculture,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51because the main department for agriculture is DEFRA.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I think if it had been armaments,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I might...
0:14:57 > 0:15:00have heard of that,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02so again, as a stab, I'm afraid, Dermot,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- I'm going to go for archives. - OK.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Archives is the correct answer,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10and maybe a tad lucky there
0:15:10 > 0:15:12in that I did ask for a US government agency.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15DEFRA, of course, in the UK, but you got it in the end, anyway.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Well done.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20And, Barry, in 1999,
0:15:20 > 0:15:25Saparmurat Niyazov was declared president for life of which country?
0:15:27 > 0:15:33In 1999, Saparmurat Niyazov was declared president for life
0:15:33 > 0:15:35of which country?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39The surname is N-I-Y-A-Z-O-V.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Oh, that name rings a bell. It's not Uzbekistan,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45and I think it was somebody else in Turkmenistan,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47so I'm going for Kazakhstan.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50OK. Kazakhstan for Saparmurat Niyazov.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Declared president for life of Turkmenistan!
0:15:52 > 0:15:57- Ah!- Goodbye, Barry. You're not playing in the final round.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Well done, Tim. You are there. Come back and join your teams.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Well, after a fairly slow start, the Blue Elephants have gone up
0:16:06 > 0:16:10a couple of notches. They're bulldozing the Eggheads!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13The Eggheads have lost two brains. The Blue Elephants have lost one.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Let's see what the configuration will be in the final round.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19This last head-to-head will decide that. It's Arts and Books,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and we've got Sam or Liz to play.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I think that's going to be me. Arts and Books.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27And your Egghead is either Dave or Judith.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Who do you think? Do you think...
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- I think I'd go for Dave. - You'd go for Dave?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Dave, I think. - All right. Sam and Dave,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- into the Question Room, please. - It's a group, isn't it?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Goes fantastically. Just fits together there.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Off to the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Sam, do you want to go first or second in this round?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I think I'll stick with the others. I think I'll go first.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58OK, Sam. What name is given to a publisher's description of a book,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02usually printed on its cover or used in publicity?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07What name is given to a publisher's description of a book,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10usually printed on its cover or used in publicity?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Um...
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Well, I don't think it's blubber.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Well, I hope it's not blubber, cos that makes me think of whales.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21So, um, not that one.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Blush...
0:17:23 > 0:17:28I don't think so. That's making me think of wine.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Um, so...blurb. I'm going to go for blurb.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35OK. The blurb, yes. That's the right answer.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Dave, the iconic photograph Lunch Atop A Skyscraper,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41taken in 1932,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44depicts construction workers seated on a girder
0:17:44 > 0:17:46high above the streets of which city?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52The iconic photograph Lunch Atop A Skyscraper, taken in 1932,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55depicts construction workers seated on a girder
0:17:55 > 0:17:57high above the streets of which city?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I think it's New York.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02It is New York. That's the right answer, Dave.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07And, Sam, second question. Which creature is featured
0:18:07 > 0:18:09in Rousseau's painting The Sleeping Gypsy?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Which creature is featured in Rousseau's painting,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17The Sleeping Gypsy?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Um, OK.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I actually have no idea at all,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26so, um...
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I'd like to say elephant, just because of our team name,
0:18:29 > 0:18:33but I'm not sure that's the right answer, obviously.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Um, sleeping... Can't even picture a giraffe sleeping.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Do they sleep standing up? I'm not sure.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43But then you always have sleeping lions, don't you, so...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Um... I'm going to go with lion.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Well done. It's the gypsy that's sleeping.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- What is the lion doing? - Standing by the sleeping gypsy.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Standing by the sleeping gypsy. - Oh, really? OK.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Doesn't matter. Yes. Well, there we are. You have two.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And, Dave, the character Danny Torrance
0:19:01 > 0:19:04first appears in which of Stephen King's novels?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The character Danny Torrance first appears
0:19:09 > 0:19:14- in which of Stephen King's novels? - I don't think it's The Shining.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Is it It or Christine?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Hmm... I'll go for It.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22It. It's not.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Christine.- It's The Shining. - It's The Shining?!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Right. Fair enough. - Which character is it?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Danny must be the son. The one played by Jack Nicholson in the film,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- the writer, is Jack Torrance. - So he's Danny, the little kid
0:19:34 > 0:19:38that rides his bike or his go-kart around the corridors of the hotel.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41OK. Well, that's great news, Sam. A correct answer here -
0:19:41 > 0:19:43guess it, whatever - gets you through to the final round.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Let's hope you know it. Here you are.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49The Day Of The Locust was the last novel of which American author?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56The Day Of The Locust was the last novel of which American author?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Um, again I have really no idea,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03which is not very helpful.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07But for some reason I would like to say either Joseph Heller
0:20:07 > 0:20:09or John Steinbeck.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Um...
0:20:12 > 0:20:15So...I'm going to go with Joseph Heller.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18OK. Joseph Heller, Day Of The Locust.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22It's not, and it's not John Steinbeck. It is Nathanael West.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24OK, well, important point for Dave here.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26He gets back in the game with a correct answer.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Dave, the birth of which fictional character was attended
0:20:29 > 0:20:32by the incompetent Dr Slop, S-L-O-P?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37The birth of which fictional character
0:20:37 > 0:20:40was attended by the incompetent Dr Slop?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I don't know.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Looks like I'm going out.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Um... Just trying to think.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I'm going to go for David Copperfield,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53but no kind of conviction at all.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58OK, David Copperfield, birth attended by Dr Slop.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01No. It's not the right answer. You are going out.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- It is Tristram Shandy. - Well done!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07So, well done, Sam. You're in the final round,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10playing for £5,000. Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15And this is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:20 > 0:21:22won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25so, Tony from the Blue Elephants and Barry, Kevin and Dave
0:21:25 > 0:21:28from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Just before we start, interested in the plan here.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It seemed to be a well-planned strategy
0:21:34 > 0:21:36that's worked more or less for you.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Were you always going to be held back for the final round?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I was always going to be held back. That was key in our plan,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46so I hope it pays off for everybody!
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Good performance in the head-to-heads,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51but the final round is where the money is won or lost.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53So, Sam, Liz, Tim and Andy,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55you're playing to win the Blue Elephants £5,000.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Pat and Judith, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:21:58 > 0:22:03the Eggheads' reputation. I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06but this time the questions are all general knowledge,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08and you are allowed to have a good old conference about it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15And, Blue Elephants, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Going first has done us quite well so far, so we'll stick with that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26OK! And your first question is this.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Banba, Boann and Brigid feature in which mythology?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Banba, B-A-N-B-A, Boann, B-O-A-N-N
0:22:38 > 0:22:41and Brigid, B-R-I-G-I-D,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43feature in which mythology?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- I haven't got a clue. - Does anyone have an idea?- No.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Yeah. My mythology is Greek and Roman, really,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52not any of those, but, um...
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- I don't think Brigid sounds particularly Arabic.- OK.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Banba? - Banba...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Shall we go with Celtic?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- What was the other one? - Celtic or Slavonic.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Banba... Do you recognise any of those names?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13No, none. Not one of those.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I think I'm more likely to know names that are Celtic than Slavonic,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- and as we don't know any of them, shall we try Slavonic?- OK.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25We don't really know, Dermot, but we're going to try Slavonic.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27OK, Slavonic. What would you have said, Eggheads?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Celtic. - It's Celtic.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Sorry. - Celtic.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Not the best of starts. See how the Eggheads do.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Eggheads, what is the largest ethnic group in Singapore?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- I don't think it's British. - No, definitely not British.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48So it's Malay versus Chinese.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- I've a feeling it's Chinese. - Is it?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Singapore's at the end of the Malay Peninsula.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Well, then, shouldn't it be Malay?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I think there's a great many Chinese in Singapore.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02If Malay... Malays would be the natives of Singapore.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Yes, yes, but it's a huge trading city.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's historically always been a huge trading post.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- I think there are a lot of Chinese there.- The Chinese outnumber...
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- the Malays.- I think they do, but I'm not certain by any means.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I just think all different...
0:24:17 > 0:24:20No. I don't have any ideas.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- I've a slight preference for Chinese.- You do?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25OK. We're not at all sure,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28but we think it's probably Chinese.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Not at all sure?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You were saying it's on the Malaysian Peninsula.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Yes.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- You wanted to go for Malay. - Well...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- You tended toward China. - Yeah.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- It's Chinese. It is the right answer, Eggheads.- Well done.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Just toying with you. - Well done.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48OK. You have a lead. Blue Elephants, you need this.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Tom Kerridge and Nathan Outlaw found fame as what?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Tom Kerridge and Nathan Outlaw found fame as what?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I've never heard of them.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Any... - I've not heard of them either.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I don't think they're fashion designers.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- I don't think they're chefs. - THEY LAUGH
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- You don't think they're chefs? - That makes it difficult,
0:25:12 > 0:25:17because I've got a sneaking feeling that the name Kerridge
0:25:17 > 0:25:19is a chef.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24- I would have leant towards chefs... - Would you?- ..out of all of those.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Yeah. I don't really know why, though.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Shall we go with chefs, then? - Well...
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I... Honestly, I don't know.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36THEY CHUCKLE Oh, this is really hard.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38It is. Um...
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Go with chefs.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43We're really struggling, I'm afraid.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46We're going to go with chefs.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50OK. Really struggling. Need to get this, and you have.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52It's the right answer. Chefs.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54OK, Eggheads. Second question for you.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Who directed the 2012 film Savages?
0:26:01 > 0:26:06- Who directed the 2012 film Savages? - It's Oliver Stone.- Is it?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I think so, yes. I saw him being interviewed about it.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- That sounds good. - Well, you're the film expert.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15If you can recall seeing him being interviewed about it...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I.. I... I mean, I just hope I'm not mistaken,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20but that's what I think.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- Um, I think it's Oliver Stone. - Oliver Stone?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29It's the right answer. You have two. Means you need to get this.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32What is the title of the Lost Book Of Gormenghast,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36completed by Mervyn Peake's widow and published in 2011?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44What is the title of the Lost Book Of Gormenghast,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47completed by Mervyn Peake's widow and published in 2011?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Any clue?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53What were the original books? Do we know that?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Titus Groan, Titus Alone...
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I don't know how many there were.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Titus Abounds is ringing a bell,
0:27:02 > 0:27:07- but I don't know if that was one of the first set.- OK.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Let's go with Titus Abounds. - I'm kind of wondering...
0:27:14 > 0:27:19Ascends. Ascends sounds like a good way to finish something off.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- Yes. - Like a good kind of...positive note.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25THEY LAUGH
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Oh, Sam, you choose.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30SHE LAUGHS
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- I see what you say about Ascends. - Shall we go with that?- Shall we?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Yeah. - Is that your gut feeling?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- No. - There isn't one?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40There isn't one, unfortunately.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Um... Shall we try that?
0:27:43 > 0:27:47OK. Again, you're giving us a lot of questions that we just...
0:27:47 > 0:27:51have no inkling on, but we're going to try Titus Ascends.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55OK. Titus Ascends. You say a tricky set of questions.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57You'll be comforted to know, I suppose,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01that it is Titus Awakes, which you didn't consider.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Which means, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Very generous applause to the Eggheads
0:28:09 > 0:28:12after what you did to them in the head-to-head,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14and Tony applauding in the Question Room.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17A tricky set of questions, but well handled
0:28:17 > 0:28:20to get as far as you did, and well played in the head-to-heads.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24A fantastic performance, to see four of you against two of them.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29and they still reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34and the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37So, congratulations, Eggheads. Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:40 > 0:28:42have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44£6,000 says they don't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Until then, goodbye.
