0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12'Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15'arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'The question is, can they be beaten?'
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are The Pretenders. This friends and family team from Worcestershire
0:00:38 > 0:00:41have chosen this name as they believe they are the pretenders
0:00:41 > 0:00:45to the Eggheads' throne. Hm. Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Walter, I'm 63 and a retired local government chief executive.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Margaret, I'm 60 and I'm a head-hunter.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm James, I'm 26
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and I'm a student in music production and business management.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Martin, I'm 41 and I'm a landscape gardener.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 58 and I'm an education consultant.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Well, welcome to you, Pretenders.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13So pretenders to the Eggheads' throne and not some tribute band.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Absolutely.- OK.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Why do you think you're pretenders to the throne? How good are you?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Well, we hope to be better than Bonnie Prince Charlie
0:01:21 > 0:01:23who didn't succeed to the throne,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- but we think we're pretty good.- OK.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- Have you great experience? - No. We're not professional quizzers,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33we've not appeared as a quiz team ever,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36but we do have some secret weapons in the team.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I mean, they're secret weapons. Can I ask you to give us a clue?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Yes. Martin's a secret weapon.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46All right. Martin, right. We'll wait for you to be launched.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- And Phil.- Phil also?- Yeah. Phil has credentials on quizzing,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53so we're relying a lot on Phil.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Well, we wait for the secret weapons with great anticipation.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00We'll see when they're unleashed during the quiz.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So, Pretenders, the Eggheads have won the last nine games
0:02:11 > 0:02:14so we hit the £10,000 mark now. That's what we're playing for today.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19And our first head-to-head battle is going to be on the subject of Music.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I know there's one particular person there who's interesting in music.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- That would be me.- Yes. Indeed. Pick an Egghead to take on.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I'm feeling brave and I'm going to pick Kevin.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33You are feeling brave. And why not?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37You've got to take out the big guns if you're trying to win the money.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40James and Kevin in the question room to ensure there's no conferring.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So, James, as the challenger, can you do us the honour of deciding
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- whether you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Good luck, James. First question on Music.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59In a 1976 hit single, Gladys Knight sang about
0:02:59 > 0:03:02leaving on a midnight train to which US state?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I think I know this one just from the way it sounds.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Erm, I wouldn't have said it's Alabama.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I wouldn't have said it's Louisiana.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I would've thought it's a midnight train to Georgia.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Yeah, I think so would we all. Yes, it's the right answer.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- We don't have Chris here to croon it. Anyone else fancy a go?- No.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27OK. It is Georgia and you're off the mark.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Kevin, the West End musical Viva Forever,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34announced in 2012, features songs by which group?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I think that's the musical based on the Spice Girls.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Yeah, after the song. Spice Girls is correct.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48OK, you've got it. Second question for you, James.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52"Those fingers in my hair, that sly come-hither stare"
0:03:52 > 0:03:56are the opening lines of which song, made famous by Frank Sinatra?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Well, I'm going to count out My Way straight away,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07erm, cos I don't think that's the opening lines.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09But I would've thought with a sly finger,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12it's something to do with witches.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14But it could be at night time.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19I'm going to go with Witchcraft, I think.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Well worked out, James. It's the right answer.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Yes, indeed. "Those fingers in my hair, that sly come-hither stare."
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Kevin, the Winchester singer-songwriter Frank Turner
0:04:30 > 0:04:33is most associated with what type of music?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Well, you wouldn't call him pop-opera,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and I wouldn't call him jazz funk, I'd call him folk.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46He's indie, really. But folk, I'd say.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Folk is the right answer. James,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51which composer collaborated with the poet WH Auden
0:04:51 > 0:04:55on the celebrated 1936 documentary film Night Mail?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I wouldn't even know where to begin working it out, to be honest,
0:05:02 > 0:05:07so I think I'll go with a big old guess
0:05:07 > 0:05:10of William Walton.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13OK, William Walton, a good old guess!
0:05:13 > 0:05:17It's certainly a guess, but it's not a good one. It's not right, James.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- Kevin, do you know?- It's Britten. - It is Benjamin Britten.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Kevin, your next question. Antonio Vivaldi died outside Italy
0:05:26 > 0:05:31and was buried in a pauper's grave in which city in 1741?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Most of his... Well, the great majority of his life was in Venice
0:05:36 > 0:05:39but he actually wound up in Vienna.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- When was he born?- 1678.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- He didn't even hesitate, did he?- No.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh, dear, Kevin. And Vienna is the right answer, Kevin.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51You've got through to the final round. Valiant effort, James.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Thank you.- Really well played. Please come and join your teams.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01As it stands, the contenders have lost one brain, but very early days.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05And let me bring you our next head-to-head. This one is Science.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Who'd like to play this? Science.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Phil for this one.- Yep. - You're our scientist.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Yep.- Ah. A secret weapon is unleashed.- Yes.- OK.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20OK, who do you want to knock out, Phil? Which Egghead?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- I think we'll go for Daphne, shall we?- I think Daphne.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Yeah. We'll go for Daphne. - Daphne. Oh, right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Daphne loves a challenge.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- I think I've got one. - Yes, well, let's find out.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Daphne and Phil, into the question room, please.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40OK, well, let's put that science knowledge to the test.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll take the first set, please.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Good luck, Phil. Here's your question.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51What colour is the distinctive breast
0:06:51 > 0:06:54of a male Eurasian bullfinch?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Well, bird watching's one of my favourite things
0:06:59 > 0:07:01and bullfinches, too, are one of my favourite birds,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05but they are so declined these days.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08As are the greenfinches, so it's not green.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Blue tits are doing rather well, and it's not blue.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's red.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Fantastic! That question really fell very nicely for you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21OK, yes, I don't even need to tell you it's the right answer.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Daphne, your first question. What type of creatures
0:07:24 > 0:07:28are in the biological family felidae?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33They are cats.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Cats is correct. OK, Phil.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Where are the Clouds of Magellan?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Well, sometimes when I wake up in the morning,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I get a cloudy feeling, but they're not in my brain.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I think they'd find an awful job to fit inside an atom.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57So they're the ones that we find orbiting our galaxy in outer space.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59That is correct. Well done, Phil.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Daphne, which famous scientist discovered Jupiter's moons
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Ganymede and Callisto in 1610?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Well, seeing as they're sometimes called the Galilean Moons,
0:08:16 > 0:08:21I assume it's Galileo.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Galileo Galilei is correct. Well done, Daphne.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26This is great. Shaping up really well.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30These two are not even close to guessing at the answers.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34They're knowing them, they're ladling on the extra information
0:08:34 > 0:08:36and matching each other blow for blow.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Phil, third question. Where on the human body
0:08:39 > 0:08:42is the small protuberance called the inion?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Inion. That's one of the things I haven't ever heard of,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52so it's going to have to be a guess.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It wouldn't be the elbow.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I seem to think that's something else.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01The ankle I would've said, well, that's an ankle.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I will go for the little protuberance
0:09:03 > 0:09:06at the back of the head.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Back of the head for the inion.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Is correct. Where?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Where is it? What? Where?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Well, Daphne, you knew you were going to have a fight on your hands.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24This to keep your head above water.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Sorbic acid was first isolated from the unripe berries of which tree?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I think that's a mountain ash.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Mountain ash is correct, Daphne!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40You're loving this, aren't you?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- SHE LAUGHS - She thrives on the pressure.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Phil, it's all square after three questions
0:09:46 > 0:09:50and look at that parade of white ticks on a green background
0:09:50 > 0:09:54for both of you. To sort out a winner, we go to sudden death,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58so we take away the choices, you know that. So here we go.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00For what does the letter C stand
0:10:00 > 0:10:05in the computer component known as the CPU.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Well, it's the bit right at the heart of the computer,
0:10:08 > 0:10:12right in the centre, it's the central processing unit.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Very good. Maybe you've had a chip implanted there,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18a CPU in the brain. It's the right answer.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Central processing unit. We wanted central and heard it. OK.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Daphne, which word taken from the Greek "to go down"
0:10:26 > 0:10:30refers to cool winds that typically blow down mountain slopes?
0:10:30 > 0:10:36I don't think I'm going to pronounce this properly.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Erm, anabatic.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- Is that your answer?- Yes. - Anabatic?- Yes.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Close, but it's not correct. We cannot accept it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Other Eggheads? Not anabatic.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Catabatic?- Catabatic.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Oh! The other one! - Catabatic. What's anabatic, then?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- The other way.- Oh, that's up!
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Oh, we wanted down!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04That's what's happening to you. You're going down, Daphne!
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- SHE LAUGHS - You have gone down. It's over!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Phil! What a secret weapon! Wow!
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Exploded Daphne's hopes there.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14You're through to the final round.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18No place for you, Daphne. Please come back and join your teams.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23The Pretenders dubbed Phil their secret weapon there
0:11:23 > 0:11:25and like a quiz version of the Stealth Bomber,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- he really took you out, didn't he, Daphne?- Yes.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30And that means, as it stands, both teams have lost one brain
0:11:30 > 0:11:35from the final round. Our next subject, third head-to-head,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37is History. Three of you left.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Who wants to play it?- That's you, isn't it?- That would be me.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44All right. OK, Walter. Choose an Egghead.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Kevin and Daphne have played, so you've got Dave, Judith or Pat.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52I'm taking on Judith because she's my favourite Egghead.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Thank you.- Your favourite but you want to knock her out.- Absolutely.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Let's have Walter and Judith into the question room, please.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Well, Walter attempting to knock his favourite Egghead out of the game.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, Dermot.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's History, as you know. First question, Walter.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17The term for Britain or England that translates as Perfidious Albion
0:12:17 > 0:12:21was coined and mainly used by commentators from which country?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Erm, Perfidious Albion.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I don't think it was Germany. Doesn't sound Germanic to me.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33France, possibility.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37But I think I'm erring on the side of Russia.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39OK, Russia for Perfidious Albion.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I'm afraid it's not. It is the French.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45The French, not the Russians.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49OK, Judith. From the 16th to the 19th centuries,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52the area that is now California was part of which territory?
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Well, I imagine it's from the New Spain
0:13:00 > 0:13:02because of it being near Mexico
0:13:02 > 0:13:05and the Spanish in South America,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07so I will guess it's New Spain.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Yes indeed. That's the right answer.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Walter, which British general became famous for wearing the black beret
0:13:14 > 0:13:17of the Royal Tank Regiment during the Second World War?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Right. I don't think it was Alan Brooke.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I don't know Harold Alexander.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I think it was Bernard Montgomery.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Monty. Yes. All those famous shots of him with that beret on.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36- It's the right answer, Bernard. - THEY CLAP
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Judith, which activity was banned by sumptuary laws
0:13:39 > 0:13:42in medieval and Tudor England?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Well, I don't think it could possibly be building houses,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52but I imagine it's all to do with sumptuousness and everything,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55so I imagine it's wearing fine clothes.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59OK, going for the linguistic link and getting it right. Well done.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Wearing fine clothes. There we are. Wearing fine clothes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Judith got it. Means you need to get this, Walter.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10John Colet, born in London in 1467, was a pioneer in which field?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Erm, I'm going to eliminate farming straight away
0:14:16 > 0:14:19cos I don't think there was many pioneers in farming
0:14:19 > 0:14:22way back in that age.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Could've been medicine.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28But I think I'm going to go for education.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Education is the right answer. Yes.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Well! That slip-up on the first question could cost you dear.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Been going steadily since. Judith, for a place in the final round,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42where in London was Wat Tyler killed
0:14:42 > 0:14:45whilst leading the Peasants' Revolt in 1381?
0:14:48 > 0:14:53I think that was Smithfield.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Smithfield?- Mm-hm. - Is the right answer, Judith.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Which books you a place in the final round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02And Walter, cut off in your prime there.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Just really getting into your stride,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09but that first question has cost you a place. Come and join your teams.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14So, Walter, what do you think of Judith now she's knocked you out?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- Well, no hard feelings. She's still my favourite Egghead.- Thank you.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21As it stands, The Pretenders have lost two brains from the final,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24the Eggheads have lost one. It could be all square, then,
0:15:24 > 0:15:28after we play this final head-to-head, which is Sport.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Who'd like to play this? Martin or Margaret?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- That'll be Martin, is it?- I'm going to have to, aren't I?- Yeah.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- We're putting forward Martin on this one.- All right, Martin.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:15:38 > 0:15:43- It can be Dave or Pat.- Not Dave. - No, Dave's pretty good, I think.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- He's good on sport. - I'll take on Pat.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51- Pat, OK.- OK, we're missing out tremendous Dave and taking on Pat.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55So you'll take on Pat, who knows nothing about sport.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57No. If it's not croquet...
0:15:57 > 0:16:03OK, let's have Martin and Pat into the question room, please.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Right, Martin, to try to even up the teams in the final round,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- do you want to go first or second on Sport?- I'll go first, please.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18First question then, Martin. The time trail cycling events
0:16:18 > 0:16:23at the 2012 Olympics started and finished at which historic venue?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30This was probably one of the very few events that I didn't see.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I'm really not sure.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38But, er, out of the three, I'd go for Hampton Court Palace.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Hampton Court Palace is the right answer. Well done.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Pat, in basketball, what term is used to refer to
0:16:46 > 0:16:51the tactic of using two players to stop an opposing player scoring?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57A defending team will double-team a star attacker,
0:16:57 > 0:17:02which, of course, leaves an extra attacking player on the outside.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- So it's double-teaming.- You sound like a basketball coach. It's right.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Double-team. Martin, in 2006,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15which countries were named co-hosts of the 2015 Cricket World Cup?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Well, this is my sport and this is the nightmare I didn't want.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Erm... - HE LAUGHS
0:17:26 > 0:17:30I can't see it being New Zealand and Australia.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35There are too many problems with Zimbabwe still.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39So I will guess again and go for India and Bangladesh.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42India and Bangladesh, well, it's not landed.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It's New Zealand and Australia.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48So, Pat, a chance for the lead.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50To which boxer was Harry Carpenter referring
0:17:50 > 0:17:54when he said, "Oh, my God, he's won the title back at 32"?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Erm, I think I can dismiss Marciano,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04who famously was undefeated.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Joe Louis was at his best in the mid-30s to mid-40s,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12and that perhaps is a bit too early for Harry Carpenter.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17It must be Muhammad Ali, having come back from his enforced absence.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21OK, Muhammad Ali at 32, correct!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23You've taken the lead on the second question.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25You need this, Martin.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30Who did Steffi Graf beat 6-0 6-0 in 32 minutes
0:18:30 > 0:18:33in the final of the 1988 French Open?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Now, once again, I've not got a clue on this one.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Out of the three, the one I've not heard of is Natasha Zvereva,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- so I'll go for that one.- Oh! I thought you were going to avoid it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54It's the right answer. Well done. Well, still in it.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59But as Walter needed, you need a slip-up from the Egghead here.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Pat, the Belarusian Ivan Tsikhan
0:19:02 > 0:19:06is particularly associated with which athletics event?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Well, without meaning to stereotype nationalities,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17you tend to look to Central Africans for dominance
0:19:17 > 0:19:19in the 3,000m steeplechase.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Portuguese, Central Americans, triple jump.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Whereas the Eastern Bloc countries,
0:19:25 > 0:19:29although powerful in large areas of athletics,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31were very, very strong in field events.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35So I haven't heard of this chap, but I'll have to say hammer.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Playing the percentages and going for the hammer.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42And being the fine Egghead you are, you've got it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Hammer is correct. And that's it, then.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Just one question wrong from a secret weapon, Martin,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52no place in the final round. Please come back and join your teams.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59It's time for the final round, which is general knowledge.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:01 > 0:20:03won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06So Walter, James and Martin from The Pretenders
0:20:06 > 0:20:10and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:20:11 > 0:20:16Margaret and Phil, you're playing to win The Pretenders £10,000.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Pat, Judith, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for something
0:20:18 > 0:20:22which no amount of money could buy. It is your very reputation.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28that stays the same, but this time the questions are general knowledge
0:20:28 > 0:20:31and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34The question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37And would you like to go first or second, Pretenders?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39We'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47OK, then, off we go. And first final round question.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Hayling Island is part of which English county?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- It's Hampshire.- Yeah, definitely.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Is it Hampshire? - It's definitely Hampshire.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00It's not Lancashire or Norfolk. We're saying Hampshire.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- Just checking there.- Yes. - Checking your islands.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08OK. Right answer. Well done. Eggheads.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Oliver Proudlock and Jamie Lang and Francis Boulle
0:21:12 > 0:21:15became widely known due to their appearances on which TV show?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Oliver, Jamie... - I think it's Made In Chelsea.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I think it is, but I'm not... I've never watched it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Oliver Proudlock sounds as though it should be...- Oliver, Jamie
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- and what's the other one?- Francis.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- I think it's Chelsea. - I think it's Made In Chelsea,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- but I wouldn't have a clue. - I'd guess Chelsea.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43- We're not sure.- I can see that. - But we've agreed on Made In Chelsea.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46OK, on the basis of the names, Oliver and Jamie
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- you think sound like King's Road type names.- Yeah.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Well, it is the right answer, Made In Chelsea.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Well, it's all square, and second question for The Pretenders.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Established in 1834, the oldest surviving Caribbean newspaper,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03the Gleaner, is based on which island?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I'm pretty sure I know this one because I did think
0:22:08 > 0:22:11before the alternatives came up it would be Jamaica.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13It's the oldest island, I think, isn't it?
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Well, yeah, they've all been established for a long time
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- but I'm pretty sure Jamaica is the one.- I'm happy to go with that.- OK.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- We're going to go with Jamaica. - It's the right answer. Well done.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Eggheads, which creature is depicted
0:22:30 > 0:22:34on the back of the South African gold coin known as a krugerrand?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Springbok, if it's South African. - I think it's a springbok.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- OK.- I'm not sure. - I'm not sure at all.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- It's either that or a lion. - I don't think it's a secretary bird.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Right, we'll rule that out.- I have a faint feeling it's a springbok.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53It's come from somewhere, hasn't it, so we've got to go with that.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Again, we're not totally sure, but we're going to go with springbok.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Springbok. South African link.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Springbok is the right answer. Well done. OK.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And it's all square again. Margaret and Phil going very well here.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Third question. Who was the US treasury secretary
0:23:09 > 0:23:13at the time of the financial crisis of 2008?
0:23:16 > 0:23:23- No, he was the, erm, the chairman of the Federal Bank.- Oh, yes.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I've not heard of Dick Fuld.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I have heard of Hank Paulson. So I think we go for Hank Paulson.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Yeah. Sounds OK. We're going to go for Hank Paulson.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Hank Paulson in charge of the treasury
0:23:36 > 0:23:41at the time of the financial crisis in 2008 is the right answer again!
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Ooh, well, you might need a slightly smaller treasury
0:23:44 > 0:23:46for the £10,000 if that wins it for you.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Eggheads, to save yourselves,
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Becky Bloomwood is a character in a series of novels by which author?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- Chick lit. Don't know.- Not a clue.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07- Sophie Kinsella is Sex And Shopping. - There's Shopaholic.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10And she's done more than one book with this shopaholic.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Who might be called Becky... - There's Shopaholic And Daughter
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- and something else.- Becky Bloomwood.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- Shall we go for Sophie Kinsella? - Yeah, go for that.- We don't know.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Good £10,000 question, this.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Erm, we're going to go for Sophie Kinsella.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Sophie Kinsella. OK, and I heard Kevin saying
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Confessions Of A Shopaholic, and Judith.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37Well, Daphne definitely knew and was in agony there.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And she's now calm, because it is the right answer.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Well done, Kevin and Judith.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Ooh. That was close.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Luck!- Could hinge on one question and in particular one answer.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50So, Margaret and Phil,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53sudden death, just to remind you.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56How many horses pull the chariot of the gods
0:24:56 > 0:25:00in the sculpture on top of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate?
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Hm. Well, I've been and looked at it. I've taken photographs of it.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09- Great!- I can't think. It's more than two.- It's more than two.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- One at the front... - I suspect it's four.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Not three, then? It's four, is it?
0:25:15 > 0:25:19I can see the Brandenburg Gate, I can see the statue on top,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- but I can't count the horses.- So the format is not one, two, three,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25it's two, four, is it? Or is it one and three?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Think of the format.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I can't...
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Maybe four would be too many, to be honest.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- I think four might be...- Don't go off it if it's your gut reaction.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40I'm just thinking getting four in that space is quite tricky.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Shall we go for three?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45What do you think?
0:25:45 > 0:25:50- It's a guess.- It's a guess. - Go for three.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54OK. We're not certain, but we're going to go for three.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57OK, three horses pulling the chariot of the gods
0:25:57 > 0:26:00in the sculpture on top of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05It is one, two, three... four!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Oh, no! Sorry, Phil!
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Should've gone with my gut, shouldn't I?- Ooh!
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Been there, seen it, photographed it and went on first instinct.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19If I'd made you answer in a nanosecond, you'd have said four.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Well, that was a crucial question.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25They all are at this stage. And this crucial for the Eggheads.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Which major London railway terminus
0:26:29 > 0:26:33was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and opened in 1854?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Paddington?- You say it's Paddington.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Because West Country... Mm.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Well, we'll go with it because it's not...
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- It's not that. - No, that's George Gilbert Scott.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51No, it's not Euston or any of those.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Waterloo?- 1854? Sounds late for Paddington to me.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Does it?- But Paddington is the station that Brunel...
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Oh, no, absolutely. I think, without being able to pin the date down,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05that's probably got to be the percentage.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Yes.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- I'm worried about it. - With no degree of certainty, again,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- we're going to go for Paddington. - OK, Paddington.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16It's interesting, these last two questions
0:27:16 > 0:27:20have come down to transport, for the gods and for the masses.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Erm, the major London railway terminus
0:27:23 > 0:27:27designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel opened in 1854 is...
0:27:28 > 0:27:31..Paddington. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Breathtaking.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I'm drained. I don't know how you must feel after all that.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- So close.- So close. - Particularly as Phil knew the answer
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- and I persuaded him against it! - No, listen, no, you didn't!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53He was trying to visualise... I love the way you were trying to
0:27:53 > 0:27:57hypnotise him to see the Brandenburg Gate.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00But fantastic performance.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Those head-to-heads, very enjoyable. Everyone got every close.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09But the Eggheads just managed to beat you.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12They've done what comes naturally. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15You won't be going home with the £10,000.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17That means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Eggheads, congratulations. What a great game. Who will beat you?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:24 > 0:28:28to defeat the Eggheads. £11,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
