0:00:04 > 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.

0:00:16 > 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 > 0:00:36And challenging our resident quiz champions today...

0:00:38 > 0:00:42This team of colleagues all work for the Foundation of Light,

0:00:42 > 0:00:46which is the charity arm of Sunderland Football Club. Let's meet them.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi. I'm Ev, I'm 50 and I'm head of Raising Standards.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Phil. I'm 29 and I'm head of commercial.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Melanie. I'm 48 and I'm head of HR.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm Ken. I'm 30 and I'm the development director.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello. I'm Steve. I'm 54 and I'm the health and fitness manager.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06So, Ev and team, welcome. Great to see you. Thank you.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08So all brought together by Sunderland Football Club?

0:01:08 > 0:01:13That's right. We work for the Foundation of Light, the football club's charity arm.

0:01:13 > 0:01:19We work with people both young and old. Last year, we worked with over 42,000 people in the community,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22helping them build confidence, helping them achieve qualifications,

0:01:22 > 0:01:25helping them to get back into work.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27You sell it well, I must say!

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Didn't need any prompting there at all!

0:01:29 > 0:01:31We're very passionate about what we do. I can tell.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Do you do quizzes, as well?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Not together we don't. Sort of individually.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Do you ever run quizzes for the charity or not?

0:01:39 > 0:01:43Well, we do, actually. We run quizzes for our corporate members.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46I was involved in one last year with Steve.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50We produced all the questions and ran the quiz.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52It went down very well, didn't it, Steve? Very good.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56Would you have this lot along to one of your quizzes, or would that be too frightening?

0:01:56 > 0:02:01We would definitely have you along to one our quizzes! For sure!

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Well, beat them here today and they'll do anything you ask!

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Every day there is £1000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14So, Foundation of Eggsellence,

0:02:14 > 0:02:17the Eggheads have won the last 19 games.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21So that means £20,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Would you like to try? Definitely. We certainly would!

0:02:24 > 0:02:27OK. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Who would like this? Music.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Music. I'm happy to do it.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36I think Phil would be awesome at Music. I'm happy doing it.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40I'm happy doing Music. Phil. I'll take Music.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Against which Egghead? You can choose any of them.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48On Music. Kevin? I think Kevin's good at music. Up to you.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'll go Kevin. Kevin?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52We'll go with Kevin, please.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Right. The name just came straight out there. OK.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58They got round to you, Kevin, on music, against Phil from Foundation of Eggsellence.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08OK, Phil, we're on Music. You can choose the first or second set of music questions.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10I will go for the first set.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Phil, good luck.

0:03:15 > 0:03:22In 1980, Splodgenessabounds had a UK hit with the song, Two Pints of Lager and a... What?

0:03:27 > 0:03:34OK. I haven't heard of the band before, or the song.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38I know a well-known phrase would be followed by "packet of crisps, please."

0:03:38 > 0:03:42And there's also a TV programme named after that.

0:03:42 > 0:03:49That's where my feeling lies, so I'll take a punt and go for "Packet of crisps, please".

0:03:49 > 0:03:52"Packet of crisps, please" is the right answer. I can see that...

0:03:52 > 0:03:56It's an age thing. I can see the ones who know that.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58In their sleep they could answer that.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01You're too young. Anyway, you got it right. Well done. Thank you.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Kevin, Unapologetic is a 2012 album by which artist?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Unapologetic.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Um, I'm thinking...

0:04:18 > 0:04:21I'm thinking it's Rihanna. I'll go Rihanna.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Rihanna is the right answer, Kevin. Well done.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24One point each. Back to you, Phil.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27In the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Carousel,

0:04:27 > 0:04:31which of these characters sings a song called Mr Snow?

0:04:36 > 0:04:43Again, not something that I've come across.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Again, it'll be a bit of a punt

0:04:46 > 0:04:49and I'll go with Laurey Williams.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Laurey Williams. Let me refer this to Daphne who loves her musicals.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56You'll know straightaway. No, Laurey's in Oklahoma,

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Nellie Forbush is South Pacific

0:04:59 > 0:05:01and it's Carrie.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Carrie Pipperidge is in Carousel,

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Phil. OK. Got that wrong.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Kevin, over to you.

0:05:08 > 0:05:13Under what group name did the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriters

0:05:13 > 0:05:19Joy Williams and John Paul White release their 2011 album Barton Hollow?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I don't know it.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28But when the choices came up,

0:05:28 > 0:05:32one of them sort of jumped.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'm hoping that's an instinct, so I'll say The Civil Wars.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Eggheads, is he right? Yes. I think he is.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Yes, you're right, Kevin. Civil Wars. You take the lead.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43So, Phil, you need this point to stay in the contest.

0:05:43 > 0:05:44Come on, Phil! Come on, Phil.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Sorry, I'm joining in with your team!

0:05:46 > 0:05:48I'm completely impartial here!

0:05:48 > 0:05:52OK. The composer Jacques Offenbach

0:05:52 > 0:05:56was a virtuoso soloist on what instrument?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01For some reason, I don't think it would be bassoon.

0:06:01 > 0:06:07So I'm edging towards cello or trombone.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10I think I'll go for cello.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Cello is the right answer. Brilliant.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Come on, Phil!

0:06:15 > 0:06:18You got a good football terraces cheer, there.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Now you have to hope that Kevin gets this one wrong.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Otherwise he is in the final round.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Kevin, your third question.

0:06:24 > 0:06:29In the first ever official singles chart, published on 14 November 1952,

0:06:29 > 0:06:33which artist had three singles in the Top Ten?

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Hmm. I'm sure I should have come across that,

0:06:41 > 0:06:43but I'm struggling.

0:06:44 > 0:06:461952.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Possibly slightly - oh, I don't know -

0:06:49 > 0:06:52I was going to say slightly early for Nat King Cole, but no, no.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00I'll try Nat King Cole, but without any confidence whatsoever.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Anyone know on this side? Rosemary Clooney?

0:07:02 > 0:07:04No, you're all wrong. It's Vera Lynn.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Ah. I was edging to that.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10So, you've managed to hold him off there, Phil. Well done.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Now you've got to win the round.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15You've gone toe-to-toe over three questions.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Now we go to sudden death.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20It's a bit harder, cos I don't give you alternative answers. Yeah.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Your question. Which Oasis song was in the charts in 1995

0:07:23 > 0:07:28at the same time as a cover of it by the Mike Flowers Pops?

0:07:28 > 0:07:30I think I know this one.

0:07:30 > 0:07:35It's obviously early Oasis. Oasis are one of my favourite bands.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36I've seen them a couple of times.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38I'm going to say Wonderwall.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Wonderwall is correct. Well done.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44I love the enthusiasm. This is good.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47OK. Kevin. If you get this wrong, you're out.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Which English electronic music duo

0:07:50 > 0:07:54consisting of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnell

0:07:54 > 0:07:57took its name from the M25 motorway?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00I'm assuming that must be Orbital.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03It is Orbital. Well done.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Phil, your question.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09The songs Relight My Fire and Babe

0:08:09 > 0:08:14first appeared on which Take That album released in 1993?

0:08:14 > 0:08:17I think Pray may be one of their album titles.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20It's probably from around that period as well.

0:08:20 > 0:08:27Showing my shamed following of Take That by naming some of their songs!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29So I'll say Pray.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34I can see you're torn between getting the answer right and destroying your credibility!

0:08:34 > 0:08:37And getting it wrong and possibly crashing out.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41It's not Pray. It's Everything Changes. OK.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Kevin, if you get this right, you're in the final round.

0:08:43 > 0:08:49What is the name of the musical by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone

0:08:49 > 0:08:53that won nine Tony Awards in 2011?

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Well, that would be The Book of Mormon.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00Straight there. Well done. You're right. The Book of Mormon it is.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02On sudden death, Kevin, you've booked a place in the final.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Phil, you've been knocked out.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06You had a couple of chances, there.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09I did. Especially the Take That one. Maybe could have got that one.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Never mind. There's plenty of time. Come back and rejoin your teams.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18As it stands, the Foundation of Eggsellence have lost one brain from the final round.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23The next subject is Sport. Sport!

0:09:23 > 0:09:24Couldn't be better! Yay!

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Which of you wants this? I'll go for this one.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30You're going to tackle it, Steve. Is that right? I'll tackle this one.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33OK, Steve. Which Egghead are you going to tackle?

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Sliding tackle. Judith's smiling!

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Judith? Judith. Yeah.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Judith, please, Jeremy.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Despite the fact that I was smiling!

0:09:43 > 0:09:46That was meant to indicate that I know all about sport!

0:09:46 > 0:09:50So Steve from Foundation of Eggsellence versus Judith from the Eggheads.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52On Sport, the dreaded Sport!

0:09:52 > 0:09:56To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Steve, you can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Good luck, Steve. On a pole vault competition score card,

0:10:09 > 0:10:12what does an entry of NH mean?

0:10:17 > 0:10:22Nearly heavenward sounds a bit too far out there.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27No height could relate to knocking the bar off.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Naturally helped? I don't think you naturally help yourself

0:10:31 > 0:10:34using the pole vault itself.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37So I think I'll go for no height.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41No height is correct. Yes!

0:10:42 > 0:10:45OK. Judith.

0:10:45 > 0:10:51Who won the gold medal in the men's long jump competition at the 2012 Olympic Games?

0:10:55 > 0:10:57That was Greg Rutherford.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Greg Rutherford is the correct answer.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Nice bloke, as well.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Steve,

0:11:03 > 0:11:07in 2011, Karen Espelund became the first woman

0:11:07 > 0:11:11on the executive committee of which international sporting body?

0:11:15 > 0:11:23Um, I believe that the IOC would have existing members.

0:11:23 > 0:11:28UEFA, from experience, tends to be male dominated.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31I'll get a comeuppance for saying that!

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Um, I'm going to go with the IAAF.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Interesting. You're wrong, actually.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I thought you had the right answer with your "male dominated" remark.

0:11:41 > 0:11:47That must explain why UEFA was so late in having a woman on the executive committee.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49The answer is UEFA.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51OK. Judith.

0:11:51 > 0:11:57Which of these races did the British driver Derek Bell win five times?

0:12:03 > 0:12:07The British are very good at the Monaco Grand Prix.

0:12:07 > 0:12:13I'm assuming that he was quite a long time ago.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16It doesn't ring any bells with the Monaco Grand Prix.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21I think I'm going to go out on a limb

0:12:21 > 0:12:25and hope that it's the Le Mans.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28You snaked your way round the corners to that answer.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32Took some blind corners along the way. 24 Hours of Le Mans is correct.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35No! Gosh! Yes, seriously!

0:12:35 > 0:12:39Hooray! She's gone ahead, so this is awkward,

0:12:39 > 0:12:40as they say, Steve.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42If you get this wrong, you're out.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46Who did Steffi Graf defeat in the final to win the gold medal

0:12:46 > 0:12:49at the 1988 Olympic Games?

0:12:56 > 0:13:00Um, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario is more recent.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Mary Pierce, I believe,

0:13:05 > 0:13:09may have been from a few years ago.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Gabriela Sabatini was around about that time.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17I think... Tennis isn't my game,

0:13:17 > 0:13:20so this is a stab in the dark with Mary Pierce.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24It's wrong.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Gabriela Sabatini.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Again, I thought you were heading in that direction

0:13:28 > 0:13:31from your logic. You wound back to Mary Pierce.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35And that means... I think this is two Sports you've won!

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Three! Three in a row?! You're counting, are you?

0:13:39 > 0:13:40Yes! Of course I'm counting!

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Three Sports in a row. My goodness, it's your new best subject!

0:13:43 > 0:13:47So Judith is in the final. Steve, I'm sorry, she's knocked you out.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51She did very well. Both please come back and rejoin your teams.

0:13:52 > 0:13:57So, as it stands, the Foundation of Eggsellence have lost two brains from the final round

0:13:57 > 0:14:00while the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03But don't be disheartened. The next subject is Science.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Ooh, intake of breath, here!

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Do you want to take it, Ken? Will you take it on?

0:14:08 > 0:14:12I'll take it if you want. Take it on for kicks?

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Just for kicks? Yeah. I'll take it, Jeremy. Ken.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20Ken is going to do Science. Against which Egghead? Choose between Dave, Daphne and Pat.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Daphne? Daphne. Daphne.

0:14:23 > 0:14:24Daphne, please.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28Ken from the Foundation of Eggsellence versus Daphne from the Eggheads on Science.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Let's see how you do. Please go to the question room.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36Ken, we're on Science. You can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38I'll stick with the plan and go first, please.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44OK. Good luck. Here we go, Ken.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47What aspect of a mammal's anatomy

0:14:47 > 0:14:50is known as the rhinarium?

0:14:54 > 0:14:57OK. I think I'll go for moist nose

0:14:57 > 0:15:00because that starts with "rhino". Complete guess, though.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Moist nose is correct.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05Well done, Ken.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Daphne,

0:15:07 > 0:15:12Brontosaurus, the former name for the Apatosaurus,

0:15:12 > 0:15:15derives from the Greek for what?

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Thunder lizard.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Thunder lizard is correct.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Ken,

0:15:27 > 0:15:32what is the unit of weight equivalent to 50mg that is used to measure pearls?

0:15:35 > 0:15:38My mother would kill me for not knowing this.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Grandmother as well. They do like pearls.

0:15:41 > 0:15:46But I think in terms of powers of deduction,

0:15:46 > 0:15:49I think all of them - I don't have any sway towards either.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53Metric leaf, I would normally say leaf gold.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57But I'm more led towards metric grain

0:15:57 > 0:16:00because pearls in terms of grains, similar to sand.

0:16:00 > 0:16:01So I would say metric grain.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04That's right. Well done. Your mum will be happy.

0:16:04 > 0:16:09Mother and grandmother will be pleased. Metric grain is correct.

0:16:09 > 0:16:14Daphne, what is the scientific name for a depression or hollow in a bone?

0:16:20 > 0:16:24I think that is a fossa.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Fossa is correct.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31Unerring there. I didn't want to mention it, but she's good at science, our Daph.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34OK, Ken.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Spiracles are openings on the surfaces of some animals

0:16:37 > 0:16:43that usually serve and lead to what specific bodily system?

0:16:47 > 0:16:51I'm going to try and adopt what I did in one of the earlier questions,

0:16:51 > 0:16:53which is when you said "spira"

0:16:53 > 0:16:56I'm looking at respiratory

0:16:56 > 0:16:58because of that.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01I know obviously there's ventricles in the blood.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05But I would probably lead towards respiratory, if anything, Jeremy.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09Sometimes, that's how you play the game. You see "spira"

0:17:09 > 0:17:12and it's in respiratory. Absolutely right.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Three out of three. Well done.

0:17:13 > 0:17:18Very good. So Daphne's under pressure. Can she come through?

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Daphne, which group of more than a thousand stars,

0:17:21 > 0:17:24of which six or seven can be seen with the naked eye,

0:17:24 > 0:17:29appear in the zodiacal constellation Taurus?

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I think the Pleiades are in Taurus.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40So I'll go for Pleiades.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43You're correct. Pleiades is right.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47Both got three out of three. Sudden death again. Here we go.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50The compound known as slate lime

0:17:50 > 0:17:54is a hydroxide of which element in the periodic table?

0:17:54 > 0:17:58Um... I would say carbon.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01No, it's calcium.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Daphne, your question for the round.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06On Science. What bluish-colour dye

0:18:06 > 0:18:10previously obtained from plants such as Isatis tinctoria

0:18:10 > 0:18:15was synthesised by the German chemist Adolf von Baeyer in 1880?

0:18:16 > 0:18:17Indigo?

0:18:17 > 0:18:21If you've got this right, you're in the final, Daphne.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24I've got here indigo.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26So, Daphne, you're in the final round.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29Sorry, Ken. Knocked out by our Daphne.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Beaten by our Egghead, so you won't be able to help your team in the final round.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Ken and Daphne, do come back to us here.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39The Foundation of Eggsellence have now lost three brains from the final round.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42The Eggheads have still not lost a brain.

0:18:42 > 0:18:43Who knows what will happen next?

0:18:43 > 0:18:47It's Politics, we're doing now. Who would like Politics?

0:18:47 > 0:18:51I think that'll be me. Ev on Politics, against which Egghead?

0:18:51 > 0:18:54You can have Pat or Dave. Tremendous knowledge, Dave.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56I'll take on Pat, please, Jeremy. OK.

0:18:56 > 0:19:02So it's Ev from the Foundation of Eggsellence versus Pat on Politics. Please go to the question room.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Simple question first. Do you want the first or second set of questions, Ev?

0:19:07 > 0:19:11Um, I think I'll go... I'll go first.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14I'd rather go home, but I'll go first!

0:19:17 > 0:19:19OK. Good luck.

0:19:19 > 0:19:25What term is often used to describe strikes that are spontaneous and unauthorised?

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Hmm. Right, now then.

0:19:31 > 0:19:36I'm immediately drawn to wildcat.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40Black cat, all I can think about is obviously Sunderland FC,

0:19:40 > 0:19:42because we're called the black cats.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44And we don't strike.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48Um, pussycats, that doesn't sound like something to me that's spontaneous.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50"Wild" does.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53So I'm going to go for wildcat.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Yes, you're right.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00OK. Pat.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05Who, in the House of Commons, is regularly allowed to ask up to six questions

0:20:05 > 0:20:07during Prime Minister's Questions?

0:20:11 > 0:20:15I think the Father of the House has a pretty low profile.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18He's got very limited responsibilities.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20The Speaker speaks all day,

0:20:20 > 0:20:23but he's concerned with the admin of the chamber.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28I think it must be the leader of the opposition

0:20:28 > 0:20:31who's let to have a pop at the prime minister.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33So the leader of the opposition.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Leader of the opposition is the right answer.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Ev, your second question.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40What nickname did the American media give to Bill Clinton

0:20:40 > 0:20:45after his resurgence in the 1992 New Hampshire Primary?

0:20:51 > 0:20:53I don't think it's Mr Nice Guy

0:20:53 > 0:21:00and I'm not going to fall into a trap and go for The Comeback Kid.

0:21:00 > 0:21:05I'm kind of... I'm leaning towards The Great Communicator

0:21:05 > 0:21:07because for him to make a return,

0:21:07 > 0:21:09then he would have to be that.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13I know he's done a lot of good work abroad and so on, I think.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'm going to go straight down the middle. The Great Communicator.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21OK. That's wrong, actually, Ev.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24It's kind of Ronald Reagan's nickname, I think.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28The resurgence could have taken you to The Comeback Kid

0:21:28 > 0:21:31which would have been the right answer. That's what they called him.

0:21:31 > 0:21:35Pat, your question. Which cabinet post was created in 2007

0:21:35 > 0:21:39to replace that of Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs?

0:21:46 > 0:21:51Well, I think the post of Lord Chancellor is positively ancient.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55I think the Minister for the Civil Service is long-standing, as well.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00I think the new post was Secretary of State for Justice.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03Secretary of State for Justice is the right answer, Pat.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05So Pat pulls into the lead here, Ev.

0:22:05 > 0:22:06This means we need to get this one right.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08OK. We don't want to lose you.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Which Westminster parliamentary constituency

0:22:11 > 0:22:16was the safest Liberal Democrat seat following the 2010 election?

0:22:23 > 0:22:27I have absolutely no idea

0:22:27 > 0:22:31so my guess is going to be based on

0:22:31 > 0:22:36which place I would probably like to visit in the summer

0:22:36 > 0:22:37if it's sunny!

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Definitely not the Orkney and Shetlands

0:22:40 > 0:22:42cos it's always snowing up there.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46Um, Ireland or Wales?

0:22:46 > 0:22:47Do you know...

0:22:52 > 0:22:54I'm going to go for...

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Fermanagh & South Tyrone.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01The Northern Ireland answer took you in the wrong direction.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03It might well be the nicest place to go in the summer.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05It's not the right answer.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08Actually they're strong in the north of Scotland.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11Orkney & Shetland was the right answer, Ev.

0:23:11 > 0:23:12Sorry.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Pat will be in the final. Ev won't.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17If you'd come back to us, we will play that final round.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21This is what we've been playing towards.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24It's time for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28But those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part

0:23:28 > 0:23:29in this round.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32So I'm afraid that's four of the five of you, there.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36Ev, Phil, Ken and Steve from the Foundation of Eggsellence,

0:23:36 > 0:23:38I have to ask you to leave the studio.

0:23:40 > 0:23:45Melanie, you're playing to win the Foundation of Eggsellence £20,000.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50Pat, Judith, Kevin, Dave, Daphne, you're playing for something that money can't buy,

0:23:50 > 0:23:53the Eggheads' precious reputation.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58The questions are all general knowledge.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02You are allowed to confer. Obviously that doesn't help you!

0:24:02 > 0:24:06Melanie, the question is, is your one brain able to defeat the Eggheads' five.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09It would be so fantastic if you do!

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Everyone is cheering you on at home.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Would you like to go first or second?

0:24:14 > 0:24:16I'll stick with the team and go first.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Good luck.

0:24:21 > 0:24:28Which letter is dropped from the British version of the word "labour" in its American spelling?

0:24:30 > 0:24:35Well, I did live in America for a couple of years in my teens.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38So I actually know that the answer is U.

0:24:38 > 0:24:42It would be easy to just accidentally get that wrong.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44But you haven't. U is correct. Thank you.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46L-A-B-O-R.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47Eggheads, your question.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51What parts of a car can be radial or cross-ply?

0:24:53 > 0:24:56That would be tyres. Tyres. Tyres.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59We believe that is tyres, Jeremy.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Tyres is correct.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04One each. £20,000 jackpot.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Over to you, Melanie.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08What is the profession of Ichabod Crane

0:25:08 > 0:25:14at the start of Washington Irving's story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow?

0:25:17 > 0:25:20I don't know why, but I'm inclined towards Fletcher.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23So I'm going to go with that, but not with a lot of confidence.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Good guess, but wrong.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Teacher is the answer.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Here's your question, Eggheads, to pull ahead.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35Who co-starred with Jackie Chan in the Rush Hour movies?

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Chris Tucker, isn't it? Chris Tucker.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42All agreed? Chris Tucker.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45We believe, Jeremy, that's Chris Tucker.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Chris Tucker is the right answer.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52Two points to the Eggheads. You need to get this one right, Melanie.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57They will not blame you if you get it wrong. They aren't here to help.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00How many vertical pegs are normally used

0:26:00 > 0:26:05in the mathematical game known as The Towers of Hanoi?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12I don't think it's 24. I'm thinking either three or ten.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17I think I'm just going to have to go for three, Jeremy,

0:26:17 > 0:26:19because I really don't know that.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22I can't think of anything that I can base an answer on.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24So I'll say three. Three is your answer.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Eggheads?

0:26:26 > 0:26:27It's three. Three.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29You're right! Oh!

0:26:29 > 0:26:32That's surprising. Three is the answer. Thank you.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37Eggheads, if you get this wrong, we go to sudden death. £20,000 we're playing for.

0:26:37 > 0:26:43The Utonagan is a breed of which domestic creature?

0:26:46 > 0:26:47KEVIN: Never heard of it.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49It sounds like an American Indian word.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53But that's just... Because of "Ute". Utonagan.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55I haven't heard of it. Where do rabbits come from?

0:26:55 > 0:26:58China. They're European, aren't they? Yes.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00European, are they?

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Budgerigar is Australian.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Doesn't sound Australian. Doesn't seem right for a budgerigar.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09Well, it could be a Japanese dog.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12I'm... Well... I have a preference for dog.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Do you think it's... So have I.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18Let's do scissors, what's-it!

0:27:18 > 0:27:20No. What are you saying, Pat?

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Guess for dog. Yes. Judith?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Dog.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Dog. The majority says dog.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Right. We do not know.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34But the majority say we're going to go for dog.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36I don't know how you do it, Eggheads.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38The answer is dog.

0:27:38 > 0:27:42It's right. Congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51It happens, occasionally. They decide to make a decision and they veer.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54That's why they're the Eggheads! That is why they're the Eggheads.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Sorry. But great to see you and the team.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Thank you. What fun to meet the Foundation.

0:27:59 > 0:28:00Thank you!

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Commiserations to the Foundation of Eggsellence.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Their winning streak continues.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £20,000

0:28:11 > 0:28:14and the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17Eggheads, really well done on all parts of this game.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21Who, I wonder, will ever beat you?

0:28:21 > 0:28:25Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:25 > 0:28:30£21,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
