0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:27Welcome 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Eton Rifles.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38This team of old friends
0:00:38 > 0:00:44are all affiliated at the same five-a-side football team based in Kent. Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Amon, I'm 34, and I'm a betting shop manager.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm David, I'm 36 and I'm a sales rep.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Tristan, I'm 33, and I'm a customer support manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Paul, I'm 33 and I'm a financial accounting team manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Alan, and I'm 34 a higher education advisor.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04So, Amon and team, welcome.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Thank you. Hello.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And just tell us why Eton Rifles? Which is of course a song by the Jam.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10That's right. We were struggling to find a name for the team
0:01:10 > 0:01:14and, inspired by our musical taste, we went with the Eton Rifles,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17which was, as you said, a song by the Jam.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And a cracking song, but you're all at least 15 years younger than me, so how come you know it?
0:01:20 > 0:01:26Well, good music lasts, doesn't it? Great music from the '60s, '70s we all listen to really. Yeah...
0:01:26 > 0:01:31And you play football together? We do, we play five-a-side football to varying degrees of success.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34We seem to find as we get older we're getting a bit worse.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Speak for yourself!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Good luck here against the Eggheads.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51So, Eton Rifles, the Eggheads have won the last 15 games,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55which means that £16,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Would you like to have a go? Yes, please!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Music.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Perfect. What about that? Who's the music fan?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07What will we do with Music? Will we go with Tris? Do you want to go for that?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Yeah, I think I'm going to go for that. You're the main Jam fan, I gather? Yeah. OK.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Good taste. Against which Egghead?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Who do you want to go with, Chris? Chris? Chris.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Against Chris. How are we feeling about Music today, Chris?
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Depends what you call music!
0:02:22 > 0:02:26So Tristan from the Eton Rifles versus Chris from the Eggheads on Music.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30And just to ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Tristan, you're Music and it's your subject.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Yes, well, as long as I get three questions on early '90s grunge, it shouldn't be a problem!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43So that's your scene, is it, as they say?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Yeah. My image has changed slightly over the years! But, yeah...
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Was that Nirvana and all that? Yeah, Nirvana and Pearl Jam and Soundgarden...
0:02:50 > 0:02:54He's playing your tune, Chris. Those are your bands as well. This is an incredible coincidence.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Yeah, you could say that, Jeremy.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Mind you, I'm more sort of late '50s grime than early '90s grunge, but there you go!
0:03:00 > 0:03:04OK, so, Tristan, as you know, it's your choice whether you go first or second.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I think I'll go second.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Chris, first question to you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16In January 2013, Where Are We Now? was the first single in ten years to be released by which singer?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Ow!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I believe I read somewhere it was David Bowie.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30David Bowie is quite right.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32OK, Tristan,
0:03:32 > 0:03:38in opera, which word refers to a female character, often a servant, who is pert or flirtatious?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Opera's not really my specialist subject, I'm afraid.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50So I'm going to take a guess at libretto.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53No, it's not. Eggheads?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Soubrette. Soubrette is the answer.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58To put your side of it, Tristan,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00that's about as far as we get from '90s grunge questions.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Yes, I think you could say that!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Chris, your second question.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Falling In Love With Love is a song from which musical based on a Shakespeare play?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Well, The Boys From Syracuse is A Comedy Of Errors,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I don't think it's from that.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22West Side Story is Romeo And Juliet and it's certainly not from that,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24so it's got to be based on The Taming Of The Shrew, Kiss Me Kate.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I love the rollercoaster nature of your logic
0:04:28 > 0:04:31and it's taken you to completely the wrong answer.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33The Boys From Syracuse. Oh, right?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36The Boys From Syracuse is the answer.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39So he's let you back in, Tristan. Get this one right.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44In 2006, the band the Automatic had a UK hit
0:04:44 > 0:04:49with a song that includes the lyrics, "What's that coming over the hill? Is it a..." what?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I remember this song well, actually.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56And the answer's monster.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Must be one of the catchiest songs ever written. I think so.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Monster is the right answer.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05OK, so you're level after two questions.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Chris, let's see how you do with your third.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Which singer appeared on the cover of her 2010 hit album
0:05:11 > 0:05:14lying face down on a bed of candyfloss?
0:05:17 > 0:05:23Er...she does slightly... Was she dressed,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25lying on the candyfloss or undressed?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29If she was undressed, it was probably Katy Perry.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32I'll have to go with Katy Perry.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I don't know what's going on in that head of yours,
0:05:35 > 0:05:36but Katy Perry's the right answer.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40OK. So Chris got that right. You need to get this one right, Tristan,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43or you're going to be "Going Underground"!
0:05:43 > 0:05:47To use another Jam song title. Here we go.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49What is the first name of the folk singer
0:05:49 > 0:05:53who's the father of Martha and Rufus Wainwright?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Again, I'm not too sure about this one.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'm going to have to have a guess.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm going to go for...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I'm going to have to go straight down the middle with Loudon.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11And Loudon is correct. Well done. Well done.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14OK, so we go to Sudden Death now.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17We've had our three questions, you're level on 2 each.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It gets a touch harder because I don't give you alternative answers.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Chris, you're first.
0:06:22 > 0:06:29In 1977, the pop duo Baccara had a UK number one single with Yes Sir, I Can...what?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yes Sir, I Can Boogie!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yes. Yes Sir, I Can Boogie is the right answer.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39OK, Tristan, this is tough now.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41You've got to get this to stay in. OK.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44"All you will see is a girl you once knew,
0:06:44 > 0:06:50"although she's dressed up to the nines at sixes and sevens with you,"
0:06:50 > 0:06:54are lyrics from a song in which musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Musicals again not my strong point.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03I'll guess at Sunset Boulevard.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Sunset Boulevard is not the musical, the musical was Evita. OK.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13And the song, by the way, was Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Right. Sorry, Tristan.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14You've lost on Sudden Death
0:07:14 > 0:07:16to Chris on Music.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19So, Chris, you will be in the final. Tristan's been knocked out.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Please, both of you, come back, rejoin your teams and we'll play on.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28OK, so a shaky start for the Eton Rifles. They've lost a brain, the Eggheads have not lost a brain,
0:07:28 > 0:07:32but very early days and you can definitely still win that money, and there is a lot of it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35The next subject is Politics.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Who's the political specialist?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Do you want to take it, Dave? Can I go? OK. Alan's going to take it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Alan's going to take it. Against which Egghead? Obviously, it can't be Chris.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Oh, this is going to be really tough. I'll go against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52On our team, I'm known as Average Knowledge Alan.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It could be Tremendous Knowledge Alan after this round, couldn't it?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01OK. The very modest Alan from the Eton Rifles on Politics versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Please take your positions.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07So, Dave, we're doing Politics. Is that up your street?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Some of it is, but, you know, it's been found in some of the rounds
0:08:10 > 0:08:13that Politics is quite a wide-ranging subject,
0:08:13 > 0:08:19and some of the questions have been on areas I haven't been too confident on, so it's a mixed bag.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Alan, does that sound encouraging? Yeah, it does a little bit, yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I'm looking forward to this Politics round. Hopefully, I'll do well.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29OK, and you become Tremendous Knowledge Alan if you win, OK?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32You can have the title with pleasure! I'll steal his crown, yeah.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34You can have it with pleasure! You can have it now!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37So, Alan, would you like to go first or second? I'll go first.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Here's your question. The Parti Quebecois is a political party in which country?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Could you repeat the name of the party, please?
0:08:50 > 0:08:55I can spell it for you. Q-U-E-B-E-C-O-I-S.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58OK, well, from that clue,
0:08:58 > 0:09:03I'm presuming something to do with France and maybe Quebec,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05so on that basis I'll guess at Canada.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07It's a good guess, Canada is the right answer.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Dave, your question.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Which organisation was awarded the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24OPEC! The Nobel Peace Prize! Brilliant!
0:09:24 > 0:09:27It happened to be the European Union.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29European Union is correct.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32OK, Alan, your question.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Which political figure has children called Lara Lettice, Milo Arthur,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Cassia Peaches and Theodore Apollo?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Well, Apollo sounds quite American.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48I don't think it's Boris Johnson.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I think I've read enough about him to know the name of his children,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53so again a little bit of a guess. I'll go for Mitt Romney.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Any Eggheads know?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Boris Johnson. They're all saying the same name.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Boris Johnson. Oh, it is Johnson? Oh, OK.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Boris Johnson is the answer.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02So, Dave a chance to go ahead here.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Caroline Flint became MP for which constituency in 1997?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Caroline Flint?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Caroline Flint. Yes, Labour.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Well, I can't remember exactly where...which Valley it was.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I think it's Don Valley,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26but not entirely sure... but I'll go Don Valley.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Well done, Tremendous Knowledge Dave. It is Don Valley!
0:10:29 > 0:10:32OK, Alan, you need to get this one.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Operation Urgent Fury was the codename for a US military action in which country?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I don't know this one either.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I'm not sure... They definitely went to war in Libya, I think, so...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yeah, I'm going to go for Libya.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's not Libya.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It was Grenada.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02That was Operation Urgent Fury, so the urgent fury of Dave
0:11:02 > 0:11:05has unseated you here! I'm not furious! I've never got urgent fury!
0:11:05 > 0:11:09But there's an urgency, Dave, you have an urgency, there's no doubt about that. OK.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I'm sorry you're not in the final. No easy way to say it. OK, never mind.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Please, both of you, come back, and we'll play on.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18OK, the Eton Rifles are going off at the moment.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Two brains lost from the final round, the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25But, really, you can still win. Don't give up. I know you won't.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Which one of you wants Arts & Books?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I think that's going to be me, please, Jeremy. OK, David, against which Egghead?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Obviously can't be Dave or Chris. Are you going to go with Pat or Barry? Barry. OK.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I'll challenge Barry, please.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43So David from the Eton Rifles versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44There's a bit of a problem with Barry at the moment.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48He's won Brain Of Britain and ever since returning to this programme from Brain Of Britain,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52he's lost every round. Thank you for pointing that out!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55So we've got to praise him and then it may work for you.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Do you do a bit of reading, Dave? A little bit, yeah.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I work in the publishing industry. I'm a sales rep,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06so I visit lots of bookshops around the country.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10It must be fantastic doing books for a living!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I can't imagine anything better, actually! No, it's great.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Barry, that's your dream job, isn't it? It certainly is!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I'm not allowed to have any more bookcases in my house now.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20OK, so it's Arts & Books.
0:12:20 > 0:12:26We've given you the big build-up here, David, but have to say as well Barry is the new Brain Of Britain.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Let's see what happens.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Let's see... It looks better for you every second, David!
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Would you like to go with the first or second set of questions?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Here we go. Your first question.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Camp David published in 2012 is an autobiography by which celebrity?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Well, I don't think it's David Icke.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I'm going to rule him out completely.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Er... Well, I think it's David Walliams.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00So I'll go with David Walliams.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03David Walliams is quite right. Well done.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07OK, Barry.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Hans Holbein the Younger's portrait of Christina of Denmark was painted for which monarch
0:13:11 > 0:13:13who was looking for a wife?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Well, Hans Holbein was the court painter of Henry VIII
0:13:19 > 0:13:21who was always looking for a wife!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Not necessarily his own, so the answer is Henry VIII.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Henry VIII is quite right.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29David, here is your next question.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Estella is the adopted daughter of which Charles Dickens character?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Oh, Dickens isn't my thing at all.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It's going to have to be a guess.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I'm just trying to think. I'm going to go for Mr Pickwick.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50No, it's not Mr Pickwick.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53It's Miss Haversham and it's Great Expectations.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55OK, Barry...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58which of these plays revolves around a production
0:13:58 > 0:14:01by members of the Pendon Amateur Light Operatic Society?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Oh, I'm not sure on this.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Noises Off, I think that's Michael Frayn,
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I think A Chorus Of Disapproval is Alan Ayckbourn.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16and I'm not sure who was Trivial Pursuits.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Light Operatic Society...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23it tends to suggest A Chorus Of Disapproval, so I'll go for that.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25You're absolutely right, Barry. Well done.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28You've got 2 points, and you've got 1, David,
0:14:28 > 0:14:33so you need to get this one right or it could be curtains. I'll do my best!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35OK, here's your question, David.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39The Bridgestone Museum of Art, founded in 1952,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42by a member of tyre-manufacturing family,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44is in which city?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I'm really sorry.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Nothing coming.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56So in true Eggheads fashion, I'll go straight down the middle, please.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59New York. Let's see if Barry knows. Barry?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I would have gone for New York.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Yeah, it sounds like that. It's actually Tokyo... Oh, gosh!
0:15:04 > 0:15:07..Is the answer. So, David, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09There we are, Barry. You've now arrived as Brain Of Britain
0:15:09 > 0:15:12in Eggheads. Finally you've got one. You're in the final.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Even despite getting that last one wrong!
0:15:14 > 0:15:19David, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out. Please, both of you, come back to your teams.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25David, bad luck. Anyone able to sum up the mood of the team at this point?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Despondent. Using a song by the Jam?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Beat Surrender. Beat Surrender! Very good.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Brilliant.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40The Eton Rifles have lost three brains from the final round, the Eggheads have not lost a brain.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44So it's looking a bit difficult, but as you say, you're up for the fight.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45The next subject is Geography.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47So which of you would like this? That would be me.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Paul? OK. Which Egghead, Paul?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It can be Daphne or Pat.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Either/or? You choose. I'll go with Daphne.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59OK, so it's Paul from the Eton Rifles versus Daphne on Geography.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Been anywhere recently? No, actually.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I'm quite happy at home. I've done all my travelling.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07So there's a chance, definitely a chance.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14So, Paul, I was asking Daphne where she'd been recently,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17and it's pretty much Weston-super-Mare town centre.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23What about you? I was in Barcelona back in May last year for my stag do.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Fantastic. And you survived the stag do? You got home? It wasn't like that film The Hangover
0:16:27 > 0:16:30where they don't get home? There were parts of it that were maybe a bit like that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32We won't go into that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37That would shock Daphne, I have to say. Nothing shocks me any more!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40OK, Geography it is. Paul, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Here is your question, Paul. Which river is crossed by the Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Ponte Garibaldi and Ponte Marconi?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Well, given the names of the bridges sound Italian,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03that rules out obviously the Seine and the Rhine,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05so I'll go with the Tiber.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Tiber is the correct answer.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Daphne, your question.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Crumlin and Castleknock are suburbs of which city?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Well, my dad's from Dublin,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24my first husband was from Dublin,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and I think it's Dublin.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It is indeed Dublin.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Dublin is right. Well done.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33OK, Paul, your question.
0:17:33 > 0:17:39The unusual rock formations known as Brimham Rocks are in which English county?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I think, I'm not 100% sure here,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47but I think it sounds...
0:17:47 > 0:17:50the name sort of sounds to me like it would be in the Southwest,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53and I will go further southwest and say Devon.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Let's see if Daphne knows. Daphne? Is that right?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I might have gone for North Yorkshire,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but I'm not positive.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04North Yorkshire is the right answer. Sorry.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Daphne, to take the lead...
0:18:06 > 0:18:11the World heritage Site known as the Site of Xanadu is in which country?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18You know, my mind's gone completely blank. Kubla Khan...
0:18:18 > 0:18:19China!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23It went blank and then you got China?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25How did that happen?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan..." Yeah, that sounds Chinese. Yes.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31China is the right answer.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35So you need to get this one right now, Paul.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39What type of geographical feature in Florida is known as the Big O?
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Er...
0:18:45 > 0:18:49I have to admit I'm not really sure either way,
0:18:49 > 0:18:53but I think the freshwater lake,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56just as a sort of a guess, really.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58It's a good guess, you're quite right. Freshwater lake it is.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03So, bit of a comeback here from the Eton Rifles.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Let's see what you do now, Daphne.
0:19:05 > 0:19:11Which US state is bordered on the west by California and on the east by New Mexico?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Arizona?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I never know how your guessing works. Arizona is your answer,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and it is the right answer, Daphne.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Arizona is the correct answer. You're in the final round.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Paul, sorry. You've been knocked out.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36But are your team in trouble? We'll see. Come back to us, we'll play the final.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41So this is what we've been playing towards. It's time for the final round,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44which as always is General Knowledge,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:46 > 0:19:48won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52So, David, Tristan, Paul and Alan, from the Eton Rifles,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54would you please leave the studio?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00So here we are, Amon. Good luck. You're playing to win the Eton Rifles £16,000
0:20:00 > 0:20:01against all of them here.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07So Dave, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat, you are playing for something which money can't buy,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14This time, the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17and you are allowed to confer... doesn't help you, I know!
0:20:17 > 0:20:21So, Amon, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23And also would you like to go first or second?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I think I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Best of luck to you and it can be done.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Three questions away from £16,000.
0:20:32 > 0:20:38What name is given to the type of cooking that combines elements of eastern and western cuisine?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I think I know this one.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49They're all kind of scientific terms,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52but I'm pretty sure that it's fusion.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Fusion is the right answer. Well done.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Over to you, Eggheads, for your question?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59In which year did Joseph Stalin die?
0:21:03 > 0:21:061953. Same day as Prokofiev. '53.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11He died on the same day as the composer Prokofiev in 1953.
0:21:12 > 0:21:141953 is the correct answer.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16On the same day as the composer Prokofiev?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yes, there were no flowers for Prokofiev's funeral, apparently.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20They'd all been commandeered for the Great Leader!
0:21:20 > 0:21:22How interesting!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25They're full of this stuff, you know? Indeed.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I won't say useless information, because that was very interesting.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Amon, what is the name of the technique used by dancers
0:21:31 > 0:21:34to prevent them becoming dizzy when spinning?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Spotting, dotting or jotting...?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Er...
0:21:42 > 0:21:44jotting sounds a bit too kind of random,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47so I think I'll eliminate jotting.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49And again so does dotting,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53so it seems to me that spotting would be the most logical answer.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Spotting...? Yeah, I suppose...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Yeah, I think I'll go with spotting, Jeremy.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01You've got the right answer. Well done.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Phew! Spotting is correct. 2 out of 2.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Excellent. OK, Eggheads,
0:22:05 > 0:22:11which of these names is associated with the Fokker Wulf Fw 200,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13a four-engined World War II aircraft?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Fw 200 Condor. Condor.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Did it bomb Guernica, the Condor Wulf...? No! That was Condor Legion.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26The Condor Legion's something else, this is the Fw 200 Condor.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28It's the Condor.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Chris sounded very certain there. Yeah.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Did it bomb Guernica or was that something else?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34No, that was Heinkel 111s of the Condor Legion
0:22:34 > 0:22:38which was something else. This is Fw 200 Condor
0:22:38 > 0:22:40which is sort of long-range...
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Well, it was built as a bomber, but they used to use them
0:22:42 > 0:22:44for long-range reconnaissance over the Atlantic a lot.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48It would be hilarious if you were wrong after that long explanation,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51but you are right. Well done, Chris especially.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Condor is the correct answer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54OK...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Well, they never make it easy, these Eggs. No.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Especially when there are five of them!
0:22:58 > 0:23:04So your question... Get this one right and they could fall apart quicker than you would imagine...
0:23:05 > 0:23:12Ayrton Senna made his Formula One debut in 1984 driving for which team?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Now, I'm trying to think back because I have watched the Senna film,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23which is a great, great film.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29I seem to recall it was one that isn't around any more.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32And I think Sauber are still going, aren't they?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34So I think I might rule that one out.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Which would leave Toleman or Brabham.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I'm drawn to one, but...
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I think...
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Brabham rings a bell, so I'm going to go with Brabham,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57but I'm not 100% certain.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Eggs? I'd have gone for Toleman.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03But you're not certain, are you? Not certain, no.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05The answer is Toleman.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10OK, let's see what they do with this question.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12If they get it right, the contest is over.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Otherwise we go to Sudden Death.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16A lot of money we're playing for here.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Eggheads, in which film does Molly Ringwald say the line,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24"I just wanna let them know that they didn't break me"?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I think it's The Breakfast Club. I think it's The Breakfast Club too.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I think it's The Breakfast Club because she's definitely in it
0:24:34 > 0:24:38with Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez. Not Pretty In Pink...?
0:24:38 > 0:24:39We'll go with The Breakfast Club.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42In The Breakfast Club they're in detention,
0:24:42 > 0:24:49and they're all quite dysfunctional children or teenagers. Yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53She was like the one who was being bullied
0:24:53 > 0:24:55by the other teenagers.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I would really go The Breakfast Club rather than Pretty In Pink.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02I know she's in Pretty In Pink, but I would go The Breakfast Club. OK.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05We'll do that. We're going to go for The Breakfast Club.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07You've gone for The Breakfast Club.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09If that's right, the contest is over.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Do you happen to know? I would have gone for Pretty In Pink personally.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Really? Yeah. You would have been right.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I talked them out of it, it was all down to me.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I hate to annoy you by saying this,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Toleman would have got you 16,000. but you're not out.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27They've let you back in here.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30So just to be clear, Breakfast Club is wrong.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Pretty In Pink is the correct answer. Sorry about that, team.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Complete meltdown of the Eggheads!
0:25:35 > 0:25:38We go to Sudden Death. It gets a little bit harder, particularly when you're on your own,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41because I don't give you alternatives. OK. Good luck, Amon, here's your question.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45The name of the BBC station Three Counties Radio
0:25:45 > 0:25:50refers to Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and which other county?
0:25:51 > 0:25:56I think, if memory serves me correctly, I might be wrong on this,
0:25:56 > 0:26:01the area that it would be in would be kind of north of London, M1 kind of way...
0:26:01 > 0:26:03er...and...
0:26:04 > 0:26:08..the one that springs to mind round there would be Hertfordshire.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10So I'm going to go with Hertfordshire.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Hertfordshire is the right answer. Yes!
0:26:17 > 0:26:19A little bit of pressure on these Eggheads. Playing really well, Amon.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24Let's see, because if you get this one wrong, they take the money.
0:26:24 > 0:26:31Which Chinese river's devastating floods earned it the nickname China's Sorrow?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35It's the Yellow River. Huang He. Definitely the Yellow River.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Yeah. Yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41That's the Yellow River, I think they call it the Huang He,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44but the Yellow River. They do, and it is Yellow River.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46You're right. OK.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Back to you on Sudden Death, Amon.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Who directed and acted in the 1958 film Touch Of Evil?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58I'm really struggling with this. '58?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Touch Of Evil...
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Who directed and acted in the 1958 film Touch Of Evil? Take your time.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I'm really trying to think here...
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I've heard of the film, but I haven't seen it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14And I'm really kind of struggling...
0:27:14 > 0:27:19I'm trying to think of an actor from that era...
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Something's saying...
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I don't think it's right, but I'm going to go with Robert Mitchum.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29But I don't think it's right.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32It's not Robert Mitchum.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36If you'd gone for the most obvious director-actor...?
0:27:36 > 0:27:41Orson Welles. Really? It was in my head and I thought...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I thought that was one to leave out.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46You got that wrong, so this is a chance for the Eggheads to win.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49The writer and broadcaster Charlie Brooker
0:27:49 > 0:27:53married which former Blue Peter presenter in 2010?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Konnie Huq. Yeah. That was Konnie Huq.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59You all knew it? Yeah.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Konnie Huq is the right answer,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04and we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11That was a really great contest.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16We see a lot of them in this studio and I'm sorry... I'm really annoyed, I could have said Orson Welles,
0:28:16 > 0:28:21it sprung to mind, but I hadn't heard of it. But Toleman is the one, isn't it?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I won't even remind you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Commiserations to the Eton Rifles.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:27 > 0:28:31and their winning streak continues. I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £16,000.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33So the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Eggheads, congratulations!
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:39 > 0:28:43have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £17,000 says they don't.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Until then, goodbye.
