0:00:03 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads!
0:00:33 > 0:00:38And taking on our quiz champions today are the Durham Debaucherers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41They have been firm friends since they lived on the same corridor
0:00:41 > 0:00:46during their first year at Durham University. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi. I'm Rob. I'm 20, and I study biology.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi. I'm Dean. I'm 19, and I'm a modern-languages student.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Jonny. I'm 19, and I'm a biology student.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm Josh. I'm 20 years old, and I study chemistry.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Harry. I'm 19 years old, and I'm a modern-languages student.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So, Rob and team, welcome to you. And Durham University, right?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Yeah, that's right. Grey College.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12All at different... All at Grey? Yeah. All at Grey.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16If I sound interested in that, it's because I was at Durham myself,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19so I'm jealous of the fact that you're there,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22and you're 20 years younger than me, and all of that.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24It is beautiful, isn't it? Yeah. Nice.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Anyone there know Durham, any of you guys? I've been there.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Wonderful cathedral. Yeah, the zigzagged arches.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Wherever you go, you can't get away from that cathedral, can you? No.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Although you are doing quite a lot of partying...
0:01:38 > 0:01:40THEY LAUGH ..judging by the team name.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It's, um, semi-ironic, I think, er...
0:01:43 > 0:01:47You describe yourselves as a drinking team with a quiz problem.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Yeah. THEY LAUGH
0:01:49 > 0:01:52OK. I hope you don't have to drown your sorrows after this game.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56We will start. There's £1,000 of cash every day up for grabs
0:01:56 > 0:01:59for our challengers, but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07So, Durham Debauchers, the Eggheads have won the last 13,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11which means that £14,000 says you can't beat them today,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15and you can throw a massive party in Grey College bar if you win.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Food and Drink.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22That's rather convenient. That would be Jonny, wouldn't it?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I will do it, yeah. Jonny? OK. Against which Egghead?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Who looks as if they don't eat much? THEY LAUGH
0:02:28 > 0:02:32I know that's difficult. I think I'll take on Chris.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Very decisive about that. Yeah.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37OK. Jonny from the Durham Debaucherers versus Chris.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Food and Drink! Indeed.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:02:43 > 0:02:45in the Question Room.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48So, food and drink is your subject, Jonny, is it?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Yeah. Out of those ones I'm going to have to take that, yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Students, usually we think of Pot Noodles and all that, but...
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Yeah, baked beans. Exactly. But you do something more extensive
0:02:58 > 0:03:01in your college rooms? Well, I've travelled a bit,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04so I like to think I know a bit of cuisine, but we'll see, won't we?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK. Chris, what's your diet these days?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Oh, fish and chips, pie and chips,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13the odd takeaway curry, the odd takeaway Chinese.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I will occasionally put something in the oven to roast,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20but it's all good belly timber, basically. None of your fancy stuff.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24I think that's known as the Durham-student diet. Well done.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Pretty much. OK. Well, good luck to you both.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Food and Drink. Jonny, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Could I go first, please?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Good luck to you. Here we go. Winkles are what type of food?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Winkles are what type of food?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I don't think they're chicken drumsticks,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51and I'm pretty sure they're not savoury pancakes.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I'm going to go with shellfish. Shellfish is right. Well done.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58What is a winkle? Is it a mussel or a cockle, or...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's a little cockle thing. A little cockle thing. OK.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Chris, which of these terms refers to the process
0:04:04 > 0:04:07of cooking sugar until it turns brown?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13HE LAUGHS
0:04:13 > 0:04:16That's caramelisation, Jeremy.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Caramelisation is the right answer.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Here's your question, Jonny. What is found at the centre of a damson?
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Hmm...
0:04:30 > 0:04:35I don't think it's going to be a large stone. Could be...
0:04:36 > 0:04:41A damson. I'm going to have to guess between the other two, I think.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I'm going to go with edible nut.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Let's just see if the Eggheads... Judith, you'll know.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Is a damson a cherry? It's a little plum-like thing.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Very sour. If you ate the whole thing,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55would you have any teeth? You would choke,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58because of the large stone in the middle.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02There is a large stone, Jonny. I'm sorry. Large stone, not edible nut.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Do not make that mistake. It would not be good.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Chris, your question. What is atta,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11used in the making of flatbreads in South Asia?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Atta is, er, flour.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Straight there. You're right. Flour is correct.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23So Chris is ahead, and that means you must get this right, Jonny,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25or it's going to be all too short. Mm-hm.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29The Spanish wine Rioja traditionally derives some its flavour
0:05:29 > 0:05:34from being stored in barrels made of what material, Jonny?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Rioja... Never sampled that beverage myself.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It's going to have to be a complete guess once again.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I'm going to go with oak.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Chris, what do you think? Yeah, he's right.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Nice oaky taste in Rioja. Yes. Oak is the right answer.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58The barrels are oak, but Chris can still take it
0:05:58 > 0:06:02if he gets this right. Dillisk, from the west coast of Ireland,
0:06:02 > 0:06:07is what form of food? Dillisk - that's spelled D-I-L-L-I-S-K -
0:06:07 > 0:06:09is what form of food?
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Er, well, I think we know it as dulse elsewhere, and it's seaweed.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Seaweed is the right answer,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24so you have triumphed on Food and Drink, Chris. Sorry, Jonny.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27He's knocked you out. You won't be in the final round, and Chris will.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Jonny, bad luck. Yeah, I know.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36But I'm still rooting for my old university here, OK?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38No question about it at all.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The Durham Debaucherers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46The Eggheads have lost no brains. The next subject is Film and TV,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48so who would like this?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Um, any ideas? Rob? Has it got to be me?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I think I'll take that, Jeremy. So, Rob? Yeah.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58OK, Rob. Against anyone but Chris.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Oh, I think I'm going to be brave,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04and I'm going to try and take on Kevin.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Ooh, intake of breath there! So, Rob on Film and Television,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11and I'm guessing you watch a bit, do you? Yeah.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15OK. Against Kevin from the Eggheads, who watches quite a lot.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:07:18 > 0:07:20in the Question Room.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Rob, I don't mean to do the whole student-caricature thing,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26but I'm thinking you sit in your room and you watch a lot of TV.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28But that may not be the case these days.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Um, not as much as I'd like.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Eggheads is pretty much the only thing
0:07:34 > 0:07:37we get round to watching these days. OK. Whatever happens,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40don't stop watching that programme. It's very, very good, you know.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43That's reassuring, Kevin. It is, yes.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47It's nice to hear the ratings being kept up by masses of students.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Yes, very good. You'll be mobbed next time you're on a campus.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53HE CHUCKLES You never know. Yes.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55So... It depends.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59As long as it's for a good reason. THEY LAUGH
0:07:59 > 0:08:02OK, Rob. Film and TV. Let's see how you fare against the big man here.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I think I'd like to go second, actually.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I sense a strategy in play here from the Durham Debaucherers.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18OK, Kevin. Your question. In 2011,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Matt Baker became a regular host of which TV show?
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Well, it's not Mastermind. That's, er...John Humphrys.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I don't think he's a new face on Newsnight.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I'll try The One Show. The One Show is correct,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38unless I'm very much mistaken. OK, Rob, your question.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44Which TV series starred Lee Majors as Colt Seavers?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Um, I've never heard of this.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I think possibly it's a bit before my time.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Um, Lee Majors sounds like he could have been on The A-Team.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I know that was Mr T and...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Yeah, I think I'm going to have to go for The A-Team.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09That's a shame. It's not The A-Team. He was the Six Million Dollar Man.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12That was what made him famous. The answer to this is The Fall Guy,
0:09:12 > 0:09:17which was about a stunt man. Stunt man-cum-bounty hunter. Yeah.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21OK. So, you're ahead, Kevin. Here's your question.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23For what does the letter N stand
0:09:23 > 0:09:26in the name of the TV show NCIS?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Yes. It's a fairly unusual one, I suppose,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35but they're actually a criminal-investigation unit
0:09:35 > 0:09:38based within the US Navy, so it's Naval.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I think this one's a particular favourite of Daphne's.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45That's correct. It's Naval Criminal Investigation Service.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Is that right, Daphne? Yeah? Yes. Yes. We always watch it.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I thought it was on your list, actually.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54You really enjoy it, do you? Yes. It's American, is it, or British?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56It's American. American. OK.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Rob, you really need this question,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02otherwise curtains.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06In the sitcom Cheers, Ted Danson's character Sam Malone
0:10:06 > 0:10:09was a former relief pitcher for which baseball team?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Um, I have watched this.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'm starting to really regret going second, actually,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25cos I think I could've done those ones that Kevin's just had.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Again, this is going to have to just be a guess.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Um...
0:10:32 > 0:10:35SIGHS Is it set in New York?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Er...
0:10:39 > 0:10:44I think most American sitcoms seem to be set in New York,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48so I'm going to go down the middle. New York Yankees.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52See if your teammates know. I knew it was set in Boston,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55but whether that means he played for the Red Sox or not, I'm not sure.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Yeah. That's exactly the way to go with it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Boston Red Sox. It was set in Boston.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Sorry, Rob! You got it wrong.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06At least you can say it's because you only watch Eggheads.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10That's the reason. Kevin has triumphed in this second round,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12and Rob, you won't be in the final.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Rob, you once travelled round Europe on a motorbike.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Was that round even harder? Er, yeah. Yeah.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Yeah. It was tough, but don't worry. Your team is still in action,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27even if you're not. Yep.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Yeah. We can just hope, I guess. Keep hoping.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34The Durham Debaucherers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37The Eggheads have lost no brains so far, but there's plenty of time.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Next subject for you is Music. Which one of you would like this,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45and against whom? I think it's going to have to be me, Jeremy,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48and as there are only three Eggheads left,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I'll have to choose randomly, so I think I'll take on Judith, please.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Harry from the Durham Debaucherers versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Please go to the Question Room now.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I was looking at your CV, Harry. It's very impressive.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03What grade at the piano? I was Grade 6 a long time ago,
0:12:03 > 0:12:08so nowhere near that now. And the British Ski Championships?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Yeah. I used to do a bit of ski-racing,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12but again, it was a long time ago. Don't be modest.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Top five at age 11. At one stage, yeah.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18OK. You play hockey and cricket. You ski.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22You've been the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. Mm-hm. That's true.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24And you're still 19. Still 19, yeah.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26OK. It's looking promising, isn't it?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I hope Judith doesn't stop your young life in its tracks here
0:12:29 > 0:12:32with this Music round.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36This'll be your first setback in your first two decades of living.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Do you want to go first or second? Can I go first, please?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42OK. Here we go. Here's your first question.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45What was the title
0:12:45 > 0:12:49of Gary Barlow's first solo UK number-one single, Harry?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58My little sister will probably kill me if I get this one wrong,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01but I've heard of the song Let Me Entertain You.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I'm not sure if it's Gary Barlow or Take That.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I haven't heard of the other two,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10so I'm going to have to go with Let Me Entertain you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Yeah. It's wrong, actually. Logically I think you're right,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17but Take That did that song, didn't they? No. Robbie Williams.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Oh, Robbie Williams! Getting my Take That members confused.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Forever Love is the answer. OK, Judith, your question.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27What was the title of Calvin Harris's first UK top-40 single,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30which reached number ten in 2007?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Well, I have absolutely no idea.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Um... What seems most plausible?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I can't believe a song would say "admirable in the '70s"
0:13:45 > 0:13:47or "acceptable in the '80s".
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I think it's Forgiveable In The 60s.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I think you're wrong. It is... Do you know?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55ALL: Acceptable In The 80s. Acceptable In The 80s.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58What a funny... Of course, Judith! Where was your head?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02OK, Harry. And she's let you back in,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05which is good. The record label Blue Note is best known
0:14:05 > 0:14:08for releasing what type of music?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Um, Blue Note...
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I can't say I've heard of it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20I don't think it sounds particularly heavy metal
0:14:20 > 0:14:22or classical. I'm going to have to go straight down the middle
0:14:22 > 0:14:25and have a guess with jazz.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Spot-on. Jazz is the right answer. Nice one, mate.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Oh, you got a smattering of applause there.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Sounds like after a very long night at the bar,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36they've managed to put their hands together for you.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Judith, if you get this wrong you fall behind.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41In the musical Les Miserables,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I Dreamed A Dream is a solo song for which character?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, it's not Javert,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54so it's Fantine or Eponine.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Um...
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I saw it on the stage when it first came out,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02but, I mean, that was years ago.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Um...
0:15:05 > 0:15:10I'm trying to think... just do the words in my head.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12SHE WHISPERS
0:15:13 > 0:15:17I think it's Eponine. Have they all hit the deck?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Well, yes. They have, really. It was Fantine.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Daphne, you know. Fantine.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Fantine, says Daphne. Yes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Have you seen the film, Daphne?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Yes. Is it as good as the play?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I haven't seen the play. I've seen the film,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36and I cried three times, so... SHE LAUGHS
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Is that cos they threw you out? Yes.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Ticket prices. Ticket prices, yeah!
0:15:42 > 0:15:44All her grandchildren.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47This gets better and better for you. What are we on now?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Eggheads zero, challengers one.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52If you get this one right, Harry, you're in the final round.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54That's the key thing. Good luck.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Which song by The Who concludes with the lines,
0:15:57 > 0:16:02"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Um, I am a big Who fan,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11and I'm currently reading Pete Townshend's autobiography,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13and the answer is Won't Get Fooled Again.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17That's so funny. I thought, "You're 19. You won't get this."
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Um, well done. You've got it bang-on.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Won't Get Fooled Again it is, Harry. What a brilliant question for you
0:16:23 > 0:16:26if you're a Who fan. Excellent! You're in the final round!
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Judith, what can I say? I'm not in the final round.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33You're not. You've got that question right at least.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Do rejoin your teams.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Harry, well done. Thank you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Maybe I can mention a Harry Styles thing.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I heard that One Direction were playing in town at some point.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47He hasn't taken time off from his day job to do Eggheads.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49It's just me. There we are, Kevin.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52That's your question answered. It's not Harry Styles.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54The Durham Debaucherers have lost two brains,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57but Harry's pulled it back, and the Eggheads have lost a brain.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Judith, I won't mention who it was.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02The next subject for you is Politics.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Who would like this?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I think that's my remit, so, um... OK, Dean.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Against... Tell us which Egghead.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I am going to take Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Tremendous Knowledge Dave against Dean from the Durham Debaucherers.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Do go to the Question Room now.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Dean, I gather politics is your thing.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Well, I've dabbled in it before. I was in the UK Youth Parliament
0:17:26 > 0:17:29for two years, representing Northern Ireland.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It's not party political, but at least gave me some insight
0:17:32 > 0:17:35into how politics works and things like that.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37And you get a chance to speak in a debate?
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Well, I was very lucky that, er, in 2010,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I had the opportunity to speak in the House of Commons
0:17:44 > 0:17:46on a debate about teenage pregnancy.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50It was quite a privilege, because apart from the MPs,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53the UKYP are the only group allowed to sit on the green benches.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55So you actually went into the Chamber itself?
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Yes. It was on the green benches, just like any sitting of Parliament,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02with the Speaker and all the trimmings, really,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06so it was quite a day, and certainly something I'll always remember.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09And there's lots of politics where you come from.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Absolutely, and that would be my specialist area, Northern Ireland.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I follow it very closely, even though I'm over at Durham.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21I still keep a close eye on Stormont and what's happening at home, so...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Let's see what comes up. Good luck in the Politics round.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27You're against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Would you like to go first or second? I'll go first, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Here we go, Dean. Who resigned as Conservative Party Chief Whip
0:18:36 > 0:18:39in 2012 over the so-called Plebgate scandal
0:18:39 > 0:18:41concerning an altercation with police
0:18:41 > 0:18:43at the gates of Downing Street?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50OK. That got quite a lot of publicity in the press,
0:18:50 > 0:18:55and I believe that was Andrew Mitchell.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Andrew Mitchell is the right answer.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02A very interesting story, that one.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your question.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Which Spanish word, derived from the Latin for "joined",
0:19:08 > 0:19:11is often used to refer to a group of military officers
0:19:11 > 0:19:15holding power in a county, especially after a coup d'etat?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Er, junta. Junta is correct.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23OK, over to you, Dean.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25The foreign-policy think tank,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28the Royal Institute of International Affairs,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30is commonly known by which name?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I can't say I'm 100 percent certain,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39but Chatham House does ring a bell.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I may have read it somewhere,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45so I think I'm just going to have to go with Chatham House.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The others don't mean anything to me.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Chatham House is the right answer. Good stuff. You're going well.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53OK, Dave.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57For what does the letter E stand in EHRC,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00the non-departmental public body
0:20:00 > 0:20:03which came into being in October 2007?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Can you repeat the... the question, please?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14For what does the letter E stand
0:20:14 > 0:20:16in EHRC,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19the non-departmental public body
0:20:19 > 0:20:22which came into being in October 2007?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Got to hope it's the Equality and Human Rights Commission,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28so it's Equality. You're absolutely right. It is.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32OK. Two points each, so he's a tough contender, here, Dean,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34but you knew that. Your third question.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Stanley Baldwin became an MP for which constituency in 1908?
0:20:43 > 0:20:49I have a feeling Stanley Baldwin came from...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53..County Durham, something tells me,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57in which case I would lean towards Seaham.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00However, I am nearly certain there was a Prime Minister
0:21:00 > 0:21:03who did come from the Bewdley seat.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Um...
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Baldwin.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I'm going to go with Seaham.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Oh, I'm so cross for you, because it's Bewdley.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19I suspect your logic was right all the way through there,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22in that he had the northeast connection. Is that right?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25But the constituency not necessarily where he comes from. No.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Where is Bewdley? The Severn Valley,
0:21:27 > 0:21:30between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Sorry, Dean. You got it wrong. The reasoning was good.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Dave, if you get this right you're in the final round.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Where in Europe are there twin heads of state
0:21:40 > 0:21:42known as the Captains Regent?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Where in Europe are there twin heads of state
0:21:50 > 0:21:52known as the Captains Regent?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Right. I'm not entirely sure.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Monaco's head of state, I would imagine, is Prince Albert.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Um, Vatican City doesn't ring a bell,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05but San Marino is a republic, so I'll go with San Marino.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Eggheads, is he right? Yep. Yeah.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Yes, you are right. You've booked your place in the final.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Sorry, Dean. Played really well there.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14We could tell you've got a love of politics,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16but you're not in the final round.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Both of you come back, and we will play that final.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:27 > 0:22:30won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33So, Rob, Dean and Jonny from the Durham Debaucherers
0:22:33 > 0:22:37and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So, Josh and Harry, it's the two of you.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Josh, how you feeling? Bit nervous now.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46You've watched this whole thing unravel before your eyes,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49in a good way as well as a slightly more difficult way.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53You're planning to become a ski instructor professionally,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56not when this quiz is over, but when you graduate.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Yeah, I'd love to. I just don't want to be bored,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02and get a fun job where I can be outside. Great.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Would this get you on the path to... That would be pretty useful.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I was going to say, "If they let you win,"
0:23:08 > 0:23:10but they're never in that frame of mind.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14So, you're playing to win the Durham Debaucherers £14,000,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18quite a lot of money, now. Chris, Daphne, Dave, Kevin,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21you're playing for something that money really can't buy,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29The questions are all general knowledge,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31and you are allowed to confer. So, Durham Debaucherers,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Can you pull this off? Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Harry, I notice you've got glasses on now.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49This is getting serious now. That is how intense it's getting.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54The Harry glasses have gone on. OK, here we go. Your first question.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Someone who bribes someone else is said to do what to their palm?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Grease.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Yeah. That's what you'd think, but I don't know what "to grot" is.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09It is definitely grease. Yeah? Grease, please, Jeremy.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Grease is the right answer. Well done. The glasses are working.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Eggheads, according to the American patriotic song,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21"Yankee Doodle came to town riding on a" what?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25On a pony? Yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28He was riding on a pony.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Pony is the right answer. It's not an eagle... No.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33in case you were wondering.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Durham Debaucherers,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39in what field is the Cicero a unit of measure?
0:24:43 > 0:24:47In what field is the Cicero a unit of measure?
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Cicero. He was a Roman orator. Was he?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54But that's got nothing to do with... I don't think it's baking.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Baking doesn't seem to have... No.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Audio recording's normally done in decibels.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Or that's the volume. Yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05So, typography, then, is our answer.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Typography. It's correct.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12That's good. You could've been knocked off-course by that one.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Eggheads, in Greek mythology, who was the god of ridicule
0:25:15 > 0:25:20who was driven out of heaven for his criticisms of the gods?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Momus. Momus. Yeah. It's not the other two.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Momus. Hypnos is sleep.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32You know how we love Greek mythology. Momus.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Momus is the right answer. We get a word from that somewhere?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Is that "mocking", or...
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Milton wrote a poem involving the character, yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46I'm not sure there's a word that's applied as an adjective or verb
0:25:46 > 0:25:50or anything else that's derived from that. I can't think of anything.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53But good to know that Milton wrote a poem about Momus.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57That's the sort of thing they know. OK, your third question.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Do get this one right, cos if you don't,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02they could suddenly take the contest, and we don't want that.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05The journalist Nancy Banks-Smith
0:26:05 > 0:26:07is best known as a writer on which subject?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I haven't heard of Nancy Banks-Smith.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17I've got a feeling it's not television and radio. No.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19But I don't know why. That sounds good.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22What do you think? Is there an inkling?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I don't know. What do you reckon?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29It's food and drink or travel and tourism. Yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I think...
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Shall we go down the middle? Shall we go straight... Yeah.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37We're going to go for travel and tourism.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Travel and tourism is your answer in this all-important third question.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46I've occasionally done programmes where she's written about them.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Oh, TV and radio! It is television and radio.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Sort of hope she's not watching. A lifetime in journalism,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57and hope you don't go out on that question.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59But that may happen if the Eggheads get this one right.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02This is the third question in the final round, Eggheads.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05The cassowary is a flightless bird native to Australia
0:27:05 > 0:27:08and which of these islands?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13It's New Guinea. New Guinea.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Propinquity, isn't it? Yeah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21Um, that is New Guinea. You all said it simultaneously.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Yeah. Are they right, Judith? New Guinea?
0:27:23 > 0:27:27New Guinea, yeah. There we are. Judith confirms it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30The answer is correct. It is New Guinea.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So we have to say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Commiserations. Great to see a team from Durham University,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44and I hope you've enjoyed the day. Very much so. Thank you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Will you gather everyone from the college round to watch? Probably.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49In the bar. On the big screen.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53If I see Nancy Banks-Smith, I'll keep her away from the television.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56So the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00and their winning streak continues. I'm afraid you won't be going back
0:28:00 > 0:28:05with the £14,000, so that money now rolls over to our next show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:10 > 0:28:13have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16£15,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
