0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:27Welcome 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 taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Cambridge Dons.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, this team of friends and colleagues
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are all connected through the construction industry,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46and although they enjoy the odd pub quiz, they do claim to be better at pubbing than quizzing.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Don, I'm 67, and I'm a part-time triathlon coach.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Don, I'm 61, I'm a water resources engineer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Don, I'm 56, and I'm a capital projects manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Don, I'm 57, and I'm a structural engineer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm also Don, I'm 61 years of age
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and I'm a chartered town planner.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Well, welcome to Don and team. I was going to say Don and Dons.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18And you're all properly Dons? You're not Steve, Pete, Geoff...?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We're all properly Dons and we're all from Cambridge.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And you're not academic dons, you're construction dons?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Correct.- So all parts construction?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29OK. Are you going to take this lot apart?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- We hope so.- Good luck. - We've achieved our first goal
0:01:32 > 0:01:35which was to eliminate Kevin.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Yes, you're right, actually. Very good!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42OK, let's see how the Dons do. Let's see how we do with so many Dons.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55So, Cambridge Dons, the Eggheads have won the last 16 games,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59which means £17,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Are you ready to try?- Yes!- Yeah.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Sport.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Which Don would like this?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Tricky. I think that's going to be skipper Don H, isn't it?
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- Am I going to take that?- I think so. - Don H at this end.- I'll take that.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20OK. Against which Egghead? They all have different names this team,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22fortunately, so less confusing.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- Daphne.- No, I don't think so. No, I think we should go for Judith on this one.- Judith.- Go for Judith.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Chris will be relieved, but we're going for Judith.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36OK, so it is Don H, the skipper of the Cambridge Dons, on Sport against Judith.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- You haven't had Sport for a while. - I haven't, no, not for very long.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Well, good luck in the Sports round, Don.- Thank you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- You can go first or second. - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Here we go, good luck.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Which footballer achieved his 100th England cap
0:02:59 > 0:03:03in a friendly against Sweden in November 2012?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'm pretty sure Jermain Defoe's not got there yet.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I think that Steven Gerrard has possibly gone past the 100.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19So I'm going to say Ashley Cole.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23I would have used the same logic and I would have been wrong as well!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Steven Gerrard is the right answer, Don.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30So, not-Don, here's your question.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34In golf, Judith, what is the official name for items
0:03:34 > 0:03:37such as leaves and branches found on the course?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I've never heard that! Good Lord!
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Free hindrances doesn't sound particularly sort of grammatical
0:03:53 > 0:03:57or logical. Neither does optional obstructions.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Loose impediments seems to make sense.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01So that's what I'll go for.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Loose impediments is the right answer, Judith. Well done.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07You're doing well. OK, Don, your second question.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Which French driver notched up the only victory of his Formula 1 career
0:04:11 > 0:04:15when he won the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19despite starting 14th on the grid?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31I'm going to eliminate Olivier Panis.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I think Alesi won more than one Grand Prix.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41So I'm going to go for Romain Grosjean.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44OK, Grosjean is your answer. Any Eggheads know the answer to this?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- I thought it was Alesi. - You all thought it was Alesi?
0:04:47 > 0:04:53Funnily enough, everyone so far has been wrong. It is Panis. Panis.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Well, look at this, Judith. If you get this one right,
0:04:55 > 0:05:00you're in the final on Sport. And maybe that long run of problems we've had with Sport
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- is finally at an end. - We don't like talking about this.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I think it's lasted for five years.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It's lasted for ten!
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Here is your question, Judith. The Adelaide Strikers
0:05:13 > 0:05:17and the Hobart Hurricanes are Australian teams in which sport?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Well, the logical answer would be cricket.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Because it's Down Under and that's what they're strong in.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I think there's a tournament,
0:05:31 > 0:05:36of kind of local teams...
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I think I'm going to risk cricket.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Because it just seems logical.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Cricket is correct. You've got both your questions right.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48There's no way back for our Cambridge Dons.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Sorry, first Don, you've been knocked out,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53but there are more Dons to come. Judith, you are in the final.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- You can register surprise. - I'm amazed!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- I'm...speechless. - You're never speechless!
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Do come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- Bad luck, Don. What can we say? - Not a lot!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11You didn't get the rub of the green there. But there's plenty of time
0:06:11 > 0:06:14still. The Cambridge Dons have lost a Don from the final round,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17the Eggheads have not lost any. Judith is going to be in the final.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Now which of you Cambridge Dons would like this?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I think this is the one we didn't want.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- This is the one we hoped wouldn't come up.- Yeah.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- So I'm afraid...- It's me, is it? - You were the volunteer, weren't you?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Well done.- OK, Don T, choose an Egghead.- Mmm...probably Chris.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I would think, Chris the scientist.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Yeah, Chris is a scientist and engineer.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- I'm good with Chris.- Chris, what are you reading at the moment?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Bradshaw's 1910 Railway Guide.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- You've been on that since 1910! - It's a reprint I've got hold of.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51So Don T from the Cambridge Dons
0:06:51 > 0:06:54versus Chris from the Eggheads on Arts & Books.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01The comeback starts here, Don, all right?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Sport's been and gone. Let's see how you do on Arts & Books.- Right.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Chris is obviously limited to knowledge about railway books.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Here we go, good luck. In which decade was the novel
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Captain Corelli's Mandolin first published?
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Right...OK... Well, I know the film was fairly recent,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33but I'm guessing the book was a bit older. I think...
0:07:34 > 0:07:37..probably the '50s would be too early.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41For some reason I'm drawn to the 1970s.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I think I'll go for 1970s, please.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50No, it's the 1990s.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Much more recent.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Chris, your question.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59In Christopher Marlowe's play Dr Faustus of whom does Faustus say,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02"Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?"
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Well, it's a reference to the Greek fleet at the time of the Trojan War,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13so it's Helen of Troy.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Helen of Troy is the right answer.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Well done. It was the face that launched a thousand ships.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- OK, Don, let's launch the Dons here. - Right.- In Jan van Eyck's
0:08:22 > 0:08:27famous painting, commonly known as the Arnolfini portrait,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31what can be seen on the wall at the back of the room?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Right, well, I'm not familiar with that.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So I'm afraid it's going to have to come down to a guess.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50I'm going to guess at the convex mirror, please.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Brilliant! You're away!- Yahoo! - You've got a point. Well done!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57OK, Chris, your question to take the lead.
0:08:57 > 0:09:03Tara Road and Evening Class are novels by which Irish writer?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10They don't sound raunchy enough for Edna O'Brien.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Never heard of Josephine Hart, so I'll have to go for Maeve Binchy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- It's a good application of logic. Barry, is he right?- Absolutely.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Absolutely you're right. Maeve Binchy it is.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So that means, Don, Don T,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- got to get this one right or you will not be in the final round.- OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31The French writer Frederic Mistral
0:09:31 > 0:09:34won the 1904 Nobel Prize in Literature
0:09:34 > 0:09:36for his work in which language?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I don't know, but I think...
0:09:43 > 0:09:49Now, Breton is a French language, Flemish is more...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53..obviously it's Belgian.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Occitan...
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I think I'm going to say Breton.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Breton, anyone?- Occitan.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Occitan say all the Eggheads and they're right, I'm afraid, Don.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It is Occitan, so you are knocked out.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Chris is in the final round! Let's see what happens next.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14So, as it stands, the Cambridge Dons
0:10:14 > 0:10:17have lost two brains now from the final round.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Any change of approach now? - Just panic.- Try and win.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Just panic? Organised panic. - Answer the questions.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Answer the questions! The next subject for you is History.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Which Don would like to play and against which Egghead?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Against who?- Do you want to do it? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:33 > 0:10:39- I think we'll go for... - Is this Don K now?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- No, it's not, it's going to be Don P.- Don P at the end, OK.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Against who? - I think...probably Barry.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Barry?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Yeah, OK. - Against Barry, I think, please.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54So, Don P from the Cambridge Dons against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56To ensure there's no conferring,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:10:59 > 0:11:04This is History. And Barry is a bit of a wonder on History.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I won't go on about, but you had a sticky time recently.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Let's say no more than that. - Thank you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Don P, would you like to go first or second?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I think I'll go first, please.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Good luck. Who was the father of Edward VI,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25King of England from 1547 to 1553?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Oh, dear!
0:11:29 > 0:11:33I think William II is probably much earlier.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Richard III might be earlier.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I'm nervous, but I think I'll go for Henry.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Henry VIII is the right answer.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48OK, Barry, your question.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53What relation was George V to Elizabeth II?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00George V to Elizabeth II...?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05George V's son was George VI who was Elizabeth's father,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07so he was her grandfather.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10He was her grandfather, you're quite right. One point each.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Back to you, Don. Which part of the modern United Kingdom
0:12:13 > 0:12:15was ruled by the House of Dunkeld
0:12:15 > 0:12:18from around 1034 to 1290?
0:12:22 > 0:12:26I think I better get this one right, given where we are.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31It has to be...it has to be Scotland.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Scotland is the right answer.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40OK. Barry, your question.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43In which country was the Spanish explorer
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Francisco Pizarro killed in 1541?
0:12:49 > 0:12:55Pizarro was the chap who destroyed the Inca Empire,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and the Inca Empire was founded in Peru.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59So it must be Peru.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Peru is the right answer. Going great guns, both of you.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Two points each.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Third question to you, Don P.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12The signing of the Armistice that brought World War I to an end
0:13:12 > 0:13:16took place where on the morning of 11 November 1918?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Er...
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I don't think it was in a tent.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29It's between battleship and railway carriage.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Deep breath... I think I'll go, Jeremy, for the railway carriage.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Three out of three, Don!
0:13:37 > 0:13:42OK, Barry, your question. The Kalmar Union formed in 1397
0:13:42 > 0:13:47united which three kingdoms under a single monarch?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55That was the famous union between Norway, Denmark and Sweden.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Right to it. Well done, you got it right, Barry.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Norway, Denmark and Sweden is correct.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Three points each, a very tight History round
0:14:03 > 0:14:05now the Dons have found their range.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- We go to Sudden Death though, Don P, OK?- OK.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternative answers.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16The America First Committee set up in 1940 to lobby against
0:14:16 > 0:14:22the American entry into World War II closed down the following year
0:14:22 > 0:14:26in response to which event on 7th December 1941?
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Well, I think it was the sinking of a ship in the Atlantic...
0:14:31 > 0:14:36I'm going out on a limb here... was it the Lusitania?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- That's a guess, Lusitania. - Lusitania is your answer.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45No, it wasn't. It was Pearl Harbor. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Pearl Harbor is the answer we were looking for there, Don.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Which means that Barry can take this round if he gets
0:14:51 > 0:14:55this answer correct. Barry, on 14th December 1911,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58man first set foot on what point on the earth's surface?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Right, it's either the North Pole or the South Pole.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Let me think... One was 1909 and one was 1911.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I think the North Pole was reached first in 1909,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14so I think it was the South Pole.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Very good, Barry, you got it right.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Back on track, you've taken the round. Sorry, Don.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22He's beaten you on History on Sudden Death,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25you were beaten by an Egghead, you won't be in the final round
0:15:25 > 0:15:28and Barry will. Please, both of you, come back to us here.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33So, as it stands, the Cambridge Dons have now lost another brain.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Three gone from the final round while the Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40But we're not at the final yet. We've got another subject round for you and it is Music.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45So we can have Don or Don for this. Is it going to be Don?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- I'm not brilliant, but it's me, I think, isn't it?- I think it's you rather than me.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- If I hum a tune, that would be fine. - Give it a try.- Don B.- Don B.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Against which Egghead?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- I think it might have to be Pat. - Pat? Pat for Music.- I think so.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59OK, Pat, please.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03So it's Don B from the Cambridge Dons against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06And please go to the Question Room.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Good luck to you in this round, Don B.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Good luck to you, Pat, as well. It's Music.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Don, you can choose if you go first or second.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Well, I think it's time for a change of tactics possibly.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I don't know whether it's going to work, but I'll go second. Thank you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Here we go, Pat. Your first question. Which stage musical
0:16:24 > 0:16:26features the song Chiquitita?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I think I can hear the song in my head.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I think it's one of Abba's big hits
0:16:34 > 0:16:37and that would mean it's Mamma Mia!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40It is Mamma Mia. Pat, well done.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Mamma Mia! is correct.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Don, over to you. Which of these is the title of a 2012
0:16:45 > 0:16:48number one single for Robbie Williams?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I quite like Robbie Williams' music,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58but I don't think it would be called Nougat.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Somehow Candy sounds like a possibility.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I'm going to go for Candy.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Candy is correct.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Pat, here's your question. Which song from the 1920s contains
0:17:12 > 0:17:16the lines "So if you chance to meet him while walking round the town,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19"Shake him by his fat old hand and give him half a crown"?
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Of those three songs I think I've heard Mack The Knife in its...
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I've heard the whole song.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35And I'm not sure that lyric rings a bell.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38The Laughing Policeman and The Sheik Of Araby...
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I really don't know. It's going to be a bit of a punt.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Bit of a punt. I'm not sure why you'd give a policeman money.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52That sounds improper.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53I'll go for The Sheik Of Araby.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59OK... I don't dare sing this... Anyone...?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02# So if you chance to meet him while going round the town... #
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Oh, dear!- # Shake him by his fat old hand and give him half a crown. #
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- And then it goes, "Ha-ha-ha-ha..." The Laughing Policeman.- Dear me!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12So your chance to go ahead, Don.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17This could be a historic moment for your team. What is the musical term
0:18:17 > 0:18:22for a short melodic phrase that is repeated throughout a composition?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Ah...oh!
0:18:28 > 0:18:34I would have thought contralto is to do with the pitch it's sung at.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Rubato sounds... I'm not sure.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Mmm...
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Of those three, I think ostinato sounds the most likely,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46but I've not heard of it, so I'll go for ostinato.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Excellent work, you're correct. Ostinato's right.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54This is working going second, isn't it?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55You've taken the lead now.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59If Pat gets this one wrong, he's out and you're in the final, Don.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Pat, who duetted with Barbra Streisand on the 1979 hit single
0:19:02 > 0:19:05No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12I have heard the song. It's a well-known song.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16But who is it? They're all plausible.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Well, Barbra Streisand is sort of musical royalty,
0:19:22 > 0:19:26so I'll for the most diva-like person there, Diana Ross.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30No, Chris says no.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33And if Chris says no, he means no!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Who is it, Chris?- Donna Summer. - It's Donna Summer, Pat.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Unlikely to see you so out of sorts. One of our strongest players,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44but you've been knocked out, Pat.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- You're not going to be in the final. Well done, Don!- Thank you very much.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49So things are turning for the Cambridge Dons.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52If you come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56So this is what we've been playing towards. It's time
0:19:56 > 0:19:59for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:02 > 0:20:04won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05So, Don H, Don T and Don P
0:20:05 > 0:20:09from the Cambridge Dons, and also Pat from the Eggheads,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Don B and Don K, you're playing to win the Cambridge Dons £17,000.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Daphne, Chris, Barry and Judith,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22you are playing for something that money just can't buy,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30This time, the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35So, Cambridge Dons, the question is
0:20:35 > 0:20:39are your two brains able to overwhelm the Eggheads' four?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41And would you like to go first or second?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Going first didn't work too well for us,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46so I think we'll stick with going second, please, Jeremy.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52All the best, guys. Good luck.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56First question to the Eggheads. Here we go. The chef and TV presenter
0:20:56 > 0:20:59John Torode was born in which country, Eggheads?
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Australia.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- I don't know.- I can't remember... - I think it's Australia.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Yeah, it's Australia.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12He certainly sounds Australian.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- OK.- Yeah.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16That's Australia.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Australia is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Over to you, Dons.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23The term intelligentsia,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26meaning people with cultural and political initiative,
0:21:26 > 0:21:31derives specifically from which language and culture?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Intelligentsia.- Intelligentsia? - I mean, there's the intelligence
0:21:38 > 0:21:41that the Russians used quite a lot of.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm just trying to think of any...
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Well, French words don't end in "-ia."
0:21:47 > 0:21:49And neither do Danish, do they?
0:21:49 > 0:21:54So, on those grounds, on those two bits of intelligence...
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Shall we go Russian?- Maybe go for Russian.- Not a lot to go on, is it?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Shall we go for that?- I think so.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Jeremy, we'd like to go for Russian with no great confidence at all.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06You're right. Russian is correct.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- You can have confidence.- Thank you.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Doesn't matter what's gone before.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15These Eggheads can sputter and fuse.
0:22:15 > 0:22:22The Kyoto Protocol that came into effect in 2005
0:22:22 > 0:22:25mandates governments to limit what?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Greenhouse gas emissions. - Greenhouse gas emissions, Daphne.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Greenhouse gas emissions.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Greenhouse gas emissions is the right answer.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Well done. OK, back to you, Dons.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46The Church of San Lorenzo in Florence contains a chapel
0:22:46 > 0:22:49housing monuments to members of which family?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I've been to Florence,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00and the name that came up to me before the options came up
0:23:00 > 0:23:07was Medici. I think I remember a chapel dedicated to the Medici.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- They're famous for all sorts... - Medici?- Yeah. I think so, Medici.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14With a little bit more confidence than the last time,
0:23:14 > 0:23:15we're going to go for Medici.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18You're playing well. Medici is correct. Good stuff.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Two out of two. I can tell you, your colleagues are quite excited!
0:23:22 > 0:23:26OK, the money gets closer, but will the Eggheads stop you?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Here is your question, you four Eggheads.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31In military uniform, what is the shako?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- It's a cap.- It's that tall cylindrical cap, yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Austrians wear it.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It's a cap.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43You're correct. It's a cap.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Three out of three. They're never easy to beat.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Never, never, never, but they can be beaten. But you've got to get
0:23:49 > 0:23:51this one right, otherwise the contest is over.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Your third question, Dons.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Kharg Island is a major oil terminal in which body of water?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59"Kharg" is spelt K-H-A-R-G, OK?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I'm pretty sure...when he said it, I was pretty sure
0:24:06 > 0:24:08it was somewhere in Arabia
0:24:08 > 0:24:10so it's either the Red Sea or the Persian Gulf.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13And the spelling would fit that, wouldn't it? KH.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I've never heard of it, so I don't know.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18But I would agree with your logic. It doesn't sound China...
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Where are the Straits of Magellan? - In the South Atlantic.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Bottom of South America.- Well, it did sound possibly Scottish.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29No, I think it's Persian Gulf.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- OK.- Yeah.- Go with that.- Happy?- Yeah.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Jeremy, we're going to go for the Persian Gulf.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37If you've got this right, the contest continues.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40If you've got it wrong, the contest is over and the Eggheads have won.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Let's ask the Eggheads. Do you know what it is?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- It is the Persian Gulf. - Persian Gulf is correct. Well done.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47So three out of three for you both.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Oh, this is an exciting and very tight contest.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- But we go to Sudden Death now. So it gets a bit harder.- Yeah.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I don't give you alternatives and the Eggheads have the first question.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Which Australian State is bordered by New South Wales to its north
0:25:00 > 0:25:03and South Australia to its west?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- New South Wales to its north. - Victoria.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Of course, it must be Victoria. - Yeah.- Yes.- Victoria.- Victoria.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Victoria is correct.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16OK, well...this is the problem with going second, isn't it?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18They put the pressure on you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Try and get this one right. You've got to get it right.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Chou-fleur is the French name for which vegetable?
0:25:24 > 0:25:29I'll spell it for you, guys. C-H-O-U-hyphen-F-L-E-U-R.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I think I know this, but I want you to say it as well.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35It sounds to me... I don't know...
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Fleur is flower.- Yeah, OK.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42I'm thinking... I'm thinking cauliflower.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Well, that sounds good. - Maybe broccoli.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- But chou-fleur... - I should follow your logic.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- Chou-fleur sounds... - I can't think of anything else.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Flower, fleur.- I should know what cauliflower is in French,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56but I can't think of any other word.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57- Shall we go for it?- Yeah.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01We're going to plump for cauliflower, please, Jeremy.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02OK, cauliflower is your answer.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Let's go to our French speaker for this. Judith?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Yes, right.- Yes, you're right! Well done.- Well done.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Right, so you're absolutely level pegging.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14£17,000 on the table. This is an exciting contest. And who knows
0:26:14 > 0:26:17if the Eggheads might suddenly explode or do whatever it is you do?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Here's your question, Eggheads.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24The stars of which TV series had a Christmas hit in 1983
0:26:24 > 0:26:28with the song What Are We Going To Get 'Er Indoors?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32It must be Minder. Minder's the only one that has 'Er Indoors.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- 'Er Indoors, Arthur Dailey. - Yeah. Minder.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Yes, you're correct. Minder it is. George Cole, Dennis Waterman.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44'Er Indoors. Your question. A dreidel is a type of spinning top
0:26:44 > 0:26:49that traditionally has how many sides bearing Hebrew letters?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- I'll spell it for you.- Please. - D-R-E-I-D-E-L.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- That makes all the difference that spelling!- Yeah. that's useful.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Number of sides. Do you think it's to do with some kind of
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- lucky number?- Hebrew... - A lucky seven or something?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Six-pointed star, Star of David. There can't be many.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Six would be if it was like a dice, like a die, you know?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Do you think if it is Israeli or whatever,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18you've got a triangle or two triangles?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21But that would have six points, wouldn't it?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Can you think of any other numbers that are Hewbrew-ish?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Six sounds good to me.- Yeah? - Let's go for six.- OK.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28With about as much confidence
0:27:28 > 0:27:32as some of the earlier questions, we're going to go for six.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35But you're playing well. You've played well so far.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38The Hebrew letters are nun, gimmel, hey and shin.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43It's four, I'm afraid. It's four, but, you know, the logic of six,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Star of David and all that...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48that was tricky and I'm really sorry but that's the end of the contest.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51And we have to say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won!
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Sorry, guys, but have you had a good time?- Very much so.- Thank you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I think they were the best-named team we've ever had,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05the five Dons from Cambridge. And you're all called Don.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- You really were Dons.- Yeah.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Commiserations to our Cambridge Dons. The Eggheads have done
0:28:09 > 0:28:12what comes naturally to them, and they're putting up
0:28:12 > 0:28:14a good winning streak now with all these games
0:28:14 > 0:28:15that they are triumphing in.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18It does mean you won't be going home with the £17,000.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21So the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Eggheads, congratulations!
0:28:22 > 0:28:27Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:27 > 0:28:31have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £18,000 says they don't.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Until then, goodbye.
