0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11'Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15'arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'The question is, can they be beaten?'
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. And taking on our quiz champions today
0:00:34 > 0:00:37are The Eggsterminators from London.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team know one another through their involvement
0:00:40 > 0:00:44with Tower Halmets Environmental Health Department. Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hello, my name's Alkesh, I'm 38 years old,
0:00:46 > 0:00:50I'm an environmental health officer specialising in noise pollution.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello, my name is Fred, I'm 64 years old,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm an environmental health officer and I specialise in housing.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Rob, I'm 53 years old and I'm a pest control supervisor.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Ken, I'm 52
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I'm an environmental health officer and I specialise in food safety.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Richard, I'm 61 years old
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and I'm a retired local government officer.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Well, welcome to you, Eggsterminators.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17After 1,000 shows, I'm surprised we haven't had this team name before.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Very nice choice, and relating to the job, as well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23What made you decide you wanted to take on the Eggheads, Alkesh?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Well, we all like quizzing
0:01:26 > 0:01:28and we thought we'd give it a crack.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34OK. Have you quizzed together before or anything like that?
0:01:34 > 0:01:40Not together, but individually we have the Tower Halmets quiz night.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And have any combination of you managed to win that?
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- I haven't!- No. Nobody else.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50OK, well, a bit of a step up in class, even from that,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53to the mighty Eggheads. Let me tell you what's been going on.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05So, Eggsterminators, the Eggheads have won the last ten shows.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09That means £11,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12All right. Nice little pot there building.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Let's see if you can get your hands on it.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18£11,000. First head-to-head coming up. Film & Television.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Who wants to play this one?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24It'll be probably Ken, I think.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Yeah.- Happy with that, Ken?- Yeah, I'll go for it.- That'll be Ken.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31All right, Ken. And any of those fine five you can choose.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- I think you had an idea, didn't you? - I did. I'll ask for Chris, please.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38OK. Ask for Chris. Please! Very politely.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Whichever way you ask, you can have him. You can keep him if you like.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Ken and Chris into the question room so there's no conferring.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So, Ken, I know you specialise in food safety.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51You must have seen some sights in your time.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Unfortunately. And all too recently.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Indeed. Does it put you off eating out?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Do you want to have a look at the kitchen and the food storage
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- before you go into a restaurant? - No, you have to keep your eyes shut
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- and just go for it. - Hope for the best. OK.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Glad to know you're keeping us all safe by keeping them up to the mark.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Right, let's play Film & Television.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You get to choose as the challenger, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Best of luck, Ken. Here you go. The 2012 film Prometheus,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26directed by Ridley Scott, examines subject matter
0:03:26 > 0:03:29previously explored in which of his other films?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I'm sure it's not Matchstick Men
0:03:35 > 0:03:40or A Good Year. I think it's Alien.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Alien, yes, indeed, right answer.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Chris, who played the role of Hobson,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49a part originally played by John Gielgud,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52in the 2011 remake of the film Arthur?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Oh, that's the butler, isn't it? Erm...
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Well, I don't think it'd be Ellen DeGeneres, cos she's too American.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I don't remember Julie Walters being involved. I think Helen Mirren.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11It's the right answer, yes. Well done. Back to you, Ken.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Which film features a gang called the Black Rebels Motorcycle Club?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24I can't recall it in Midnight Cowboy.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I can't remember watching that film, to be honest.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I know Jon Voight's in it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Erm, The Wild One I don't know.
0:04:31 > 0:04:37Easy Rider's about motorcycling. I think it's Easy Rider.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Easy Rider with motorbikes in that.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43And a lot of motorbikes in The Wild One, as well,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45which is the answer.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47The Wild One, not Easy Rider.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50So, Chris, how will he do with his second question?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Who was nominated for an Academy Award
0:04:53 > 0:04:55for her performance as the high school girlfriend
0:04:55 > 0:04:57of Woody Allen in his film Manhattan?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Hm. I don't think Jamie Lee Curtis has ever worked with Woody Allen.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And I don't think it's Debra Winger,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11from An Officer And A Gentleman. I think it was Mariel Hemingway.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Mariel Hemingway is the right answer.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Chris has the lead. Ken, you need this.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21In 2010, who wrote and presented the first series of
0:05:21 > 0:05:23A History Of Horror for the BBC?
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Mark Gatiss, he dealt with horrible things, I think.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Mark Lawson's a big film buff.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39But I think so is Jonathan Ross, so I'll go with Jonathan Ross.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Jonathan Ross, A History Of Horror for the BBC.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45This is turning into a history of horror for you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49It's not the right answer, Ken. It is Mark Gatiss.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Oh, dear.- Wrote and presented A History Of Horror in 2010.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56We end the round. Chris doesn't need to face another question.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Well, after the first round, one Eggsterminator gone,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07all the Eggheads still there. Let's play our next head-to-head.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11And this one is Music. Who'd like to play this?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Erm...- One we hadn't reckoned on.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- It'll be either you or me, Rob.- Well, it's more likely to be you than me.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- It's me, Dermot. - OK, Alkesh. And which Egghead?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Can't be Chris. Any of the other four.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I will go for Daphne.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33OK, Daphne. Let's have you both into the question room, please.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Well, Alkesh, I know you specialise in noise,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40so rather appropriate you've chosen the Music round.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Do you enjoy any particular type of music?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Heavy metal.- Oh, right!- And country.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48So do you get complaints from the neighbours?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Oh, no, Walkman, headphones. - OK, very good.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53So you don't have to call round on your own door
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- and say, "Tone it down." - No.- All right.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05OK, good luck. Which type of music is particularly associated
0:07:05 > 0:07:07with London's Wigmore Hall?
0:07:11 > 0:07:17I'm thinking, for classical, it would be maybe the Royal Albert Hall.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Erm... I don't know what grime music is.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24And folk, I suppose it can turn up in any pub.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29It'll have to be a complete guess, I think, from grime or folk.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And I'm going to go for grime.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Grime. It's not, Alkesh.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It is classical.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38So nothing there. See how Daphne does.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40The piece of music known as Taps,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43which is normally played on a bugle or trumpet,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46is particularly associated with which organisation?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52That's the US military.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57It is. So one to you. Alkesh, second question.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02That's Why God Made The Radio is a 2012 album by which group?
0:08:05 > 0:08:11Right. I don't think Pink Floyd have made an... album together
0:08:11 > 0:08:13for a while.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18And I can't remember the Bea... Hm, maybe the Beach Boys did form again,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20or reform.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Erm... But so did The Who.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- I think I'll go for The Who, Dermot. - OK, The Who.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30It's the Beach Boys.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34You were right about the different line-ups, but wrong band there.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36So a chance for Daphne to wrap it up early.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Which American band had UK hit singles with
0:08:40 > 0:08:42What A Fool Believes and Long Train Runnin'?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Hm.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Nope. Don't know.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Erm...
0:08:55 > 0:08:57The Doobie Brothers.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01OK. Why are you saying that, Daphne? Pure guess or bit of intuition?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Pure guess. - HE LAUGHS
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Oh, look at Alkesh nodding there. He knows if Daphne guesses,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11it's in the back of the net. It's the right answer.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- The Doobie Brothers. - Sorry.- No, you're not!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- THEY LAUGH - In all honesty.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21That's what you're programmed to do, answer the questions.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24And even when she guesses, in they go. Sorry, Alkesh.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Your round is over. Would you both please come and join your teams.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Well, it's the Eggheads at the moment doing the Eggsterminating.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Two members of the challengers missing from the final round.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Let's stop the rot here, shall we?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Our next head-to-head is Arts & Books. Who'd like to play this?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- I think that should be you, Fred. - Yes, OK.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- I'll have a go.- All right, Fred. And who would you like to play?
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- You've got Dave, Kevin or Judith. - Erm, I'm going to go for Kevin.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57All right. Let's have Fred and Kevin into the question room, please.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03So, Fred, decided to go for Kevin. Kevin, that's because you've got
0:10:03 > 0:10:06a family connection with these guys' line of business.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Yes, my father for 46 years was a local government officer.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12He wasn't on the technical side himself, he wasn't an inspector
0:10:12 > 0:10:16or an environmental health officer, but he ran the office
0:10:16 > 0:10:21from which they worked for what was Winchester Rural District Council
0:10:21 > 0:10:23and then subsequently Winchester City Council.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25So yes, he did that for a long time.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27OK, well, there's the link,
0:10:27 > 0:10:31but we know no quarter asked for or given in quizzing terms.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And, Fred, you get to decide. Do you want to go first or second?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Erm, I think I'll go first, thank you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Arts & Books, then, and first question coming your way, Fred.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Which of these is an alternative title
0:10:44 > 0:10:47for Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Well, I know it's a book about the sea,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57so The Kraken, it doesn't ring a bell.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00The Serpent, I don't think it was that.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- I think it might have been The Whale.- Yeah, about the sea,
0:11:03 > 0:11:08but more specifically, about a big whale. It's the right answer.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Kevin, in which city was the Curtain Theatre,
0:11:13 > 0:11:17the venue for Shakespeare's theatre company before The Globe?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Hm. Well, it was all still in London.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Manchester and Birmingham weren't terribly big in those days.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I think The Curtain was in Shoreditch, if I remember correctly,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30but anyway, it's London.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34OK. It's the right answer. And a solid start for you both.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Fred, what was the primary subject
0:11:37 > 0:11:41of the paintings of the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt?
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Erm, I don't recall him doing animals
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and I don't recall seeing any of landscapes,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54so I feel as though it's the female body.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58OK, the female body for Gustav Klimt. It's correct. Well done.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Kevin, in Joe Orton's play Loot, where do the thieves
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Hal and Dennis hide the money they've stolen?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I seem to remember that being in a coffin.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16In a coffin is the correct answer.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Very good from both of you. Two-all. And straight back to Fred.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Fred, which Roman poet is best known for the influential work
0:12:23 > 0:12:25called On The Nature Of Things?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Erm, I'm very poor on my Roman poets.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37So, erm... it'll have to be a guess.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41So I don't recall a Lucretius.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46It's either Ovid or Horace. I feel as though it'll be Ovid.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It's not. It's Lucretius.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Well, is that going to be the crucial stumble? Let's find out.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Which painter collaborated with Walt Disney
0:12:56 > 0:12:59on the animated short Destino in the 1940s,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02over 50 years before it was eventually completed?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Hm. No, I don't know this one.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I can't imagine it would be Lucien Freud.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16He would only have been in his 20s then, anyway.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Erm...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Dali obviously a surrealist artist.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Picasso could actually turn his hand to most things.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30It depends when in the 1940s, doesn't it?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34With the intervention of World War II,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Picasso was in occupied France.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39But it would depend if it was late 40s...
0:13:39 > 0:13:44- I'll try Dali.- OK, Dali. Listening to the workings of Kevin's mind,
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- narrowed it down to two, went for Dali and got the right answer.- Oh.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53And has won the round, but only just.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Good player, Fred, but you won't be in the final.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Please come back and join your teams.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02So, Kevin, you were wondering about Destino and the year.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Started production in 1945,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- so technically Picasso could've... - Could have, yeah.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12As it stands, the Eggsterminators are three brains down,
0:14:12 > 0:14:17the Eggheads are all still standing. We reach our last head-to-head
0:14:17 > 0:14:19before that final round. It's History.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Who'd like to play this? Was that going to be Fred?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Could've been Fred.- OK. - So, Al, your decision.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- It's Rob or Richard.- Yeah.- What do you think?- I reckon Richard.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Richard.- Cheers, Ken.- OK.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Richard, are you OK?- Yeah. - We'll go for Richard.- Oh, right.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39OK, Richard. And I'm just looking at the Eggheads.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- You've got Dave or Judith to choose from.- Richard, you make the choice.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47An unknown quantity, but let's test Dave.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50OK. He's not known as Tremendous Knowledge Dave for nothing
0:14:50 > 0:14:55but they're all good, as you know. Into the question room, please.
0:14:56 > 0:15:02Well, Eggsterminator Richard, some eggspectation on your shoulders here
0:15:02 > 0:15:05from the other team members. Let's see if we can get you through.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12OK, first history question for you, Richard.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Sun Yat-sen was a founding father
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and the first president of which country?
0:15:19 > 0:15:26It wasn't India or Japan, it was China in the early 20th century.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- OK. China, Sun Yat-sen, right answer.- Well done.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Dave, "the race to the sea" is a term used to describe
0:15:35 > 0:15:38a period in the early part of which 20th century war?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I'll go World War I.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49OK, World War I, the race to the sea, is correct.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Thank you. - THEY LAUGH
0:15:51 > 0:15:56My pleasure. OK, World War I identified by Dave.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58And back to you, Richard, second question.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01The Treaty of Versailles of 1756,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04usually referred to as the First Treaty of Versailles,
0:16:04 > 0:16:08was an agreement between France and which other country?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14I think that was too late for the war before the...
0:16:16 > 0:16:20..Revolutionary and the Napoleonic wars
0:16:20 > 0:16:23against Great Britain and others.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27I think it was most likely between France and Austria.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It's the right answer. Well done, Richard.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32OK, and Dave,
0:16:32 > 0:16:36which Soviet leader proposed the part-built Transpolar mainline,
0:16:36 > 0:16:42an incomplete Siberian railroad that was also known as the Dead Road?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I don't know the answer.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50The only logic I've got is that obviously Stalin
0:16:50 > 0:16:54had quite a long reign as leader, so I'll go with Stalin.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57OK. The Dead Road, Chris?
0:16:57 > 0:17:02Yeah, one of Stalin's "great" projects.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Didn't go anywhere, never ran, and a lot of political prisoners
0:17:06 > 0:17:08were worked to death building it. Apparently a lot of it
0:17:08 > 0:17:11is still lying around derelict in the wilds of Siberia.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14OK. It's the right answer. Confirmed by Chris, Stalin, correct.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19OK, Richard, well, this could be a very important question for you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Which maverick businessman was the surprise Republican candidate
0:17:23 > 0:17:28against Franklin D Roosevelt in the 1940 US presidential election?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Landon I'm not familiar with.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I don't think it was Dewey at that point.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42I strongly suspect it was Wendell Wilkie.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It's the correct one. Well done, Richard.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49And Dave, if you get this wrong, you've lost.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54The so-called hut tax war of 1898
0:17:54 > 0:17:57was a conflict between British colonial forces
0:17:57 > 0:17:59and fighters from which country?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I haven't really got a clue.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Erm, I'm going to go Malawi.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12OK, Malawi. And other Eggheads, presumably called a hut tax
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- because it was...- A tax on huts. - Yeah, a tax on huts.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Self-explanatory. British colonial forces fought fighters from
0:18:20 > 0:18:26- Sierra Leone.- Fair enough.- Which means, Richard, you've got through!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Well done! Well played. Please come back and join your teams.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Well, what a performance, Richard. Very important for the team.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38So well done there. And it brings us to what we've been playing towards,
0:18:38 > 0:18:42it's time for the final round, which is general knowledge.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:18:44 > 0:18:47will not be allowed to take part in this round.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50So Alkesh, Fred and Ken from the Eggsterminators
0:18:50 > 0:18:53and Dave from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59So, Rob and Richard, you're playing to win the Eggsterminators £11,000.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Judith, Kevin, Daphne and Chris, you're playing for something
0:19:02 > 0:19:05which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08As usual, I ask each team three questions in term.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11The questions are all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17The question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Rob and Richard, do you want to go first or second?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I think we'll stick with first. Yes, we'll go first.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29OK, good luck. Here you go.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31What name is generally given to website advertisements
0:19:31 > 0:19:35that allow users to click through to the advertiser's website?
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- Right, Richard.- Banner ads.- You've probably got more chance than me.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49The one that appeals most to me... Flag ads I don't recall at all.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Desktop... seems a bit vague and general.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59Banner. Banner headlines, banner ads seems most likely to me.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- OK, do you want to go with that? - Yep, go with that.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- We'll go with banner ads. - Banner ads.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Important to get the first one correct and you have. Banner ads.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Well done. Eggheads,
0:20:11 > 0:20:16the Vogalonga is an annual boating regatta in which European city?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- I haven't heard of it...- The first question, obvious, Venice.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Yeah, if it's not Venice, it ought to be with a name like that.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Yes. Italian-sounding.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Not Edinburgh.- Not Edinburgh.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35- No, no, no.- It can't be Budapest because...- It sounds Italian.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- It's got to be Venice. - It's got to be, I think.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- We think it must be Venice. - OK, you think but you don't know.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Not 100 percent but it's definitely not Edinburgh.- OK.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47It is the right answer, Venice. Correct.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49OK, Eggsterminators,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52which Premier League football team reported the highest wage bill
0:20:52 > 0:20:56for the 2010/11 season, the eighth consecutive year it had done so?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Football.- Yes.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- They're all Premiership teams. - They're all big spenders.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08We can't eliminate anybody.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- I don't know from choice... - Eight years is a long time.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17Yes. I suspect... My uninformed choice or guess
0:21:17 > 0:21:19would be Chelsea.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Yeah, I'm drawn to Chelsea.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Yeah? Shall we go with that? - Go for Chelsea as our answer.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- We'll go Chelsea.- OK, Chelsea.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Yep, that is big-spending and big-paying Chelsea. It's right.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35OK, Eggheads, your second question.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Which English actor co-wrote The Wheat And Dairy Free Cookbook
0:21:40 > 0:21:44which was composed of recipes for people with food intolerances?
0:21:47 > 0:21:52Which English actor co-wrote The Wheat And Dairy Free Cookbook
0:21:52 > 0:21:55which was composed of recipes for people with food intolerances?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Well, he's very much that way inclined.- Do you think?
0:21:58 > 0:22:03I mean, Ray Winstone, he's a good steak and chips, I would've thought.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Mm.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Shall we go for Terence Stamp? - I think he's my favourite, yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10He's done precious little acting of late,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12so perhaps he had time to co-write a cookbook.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15It's me, this, cos the others don't really have an idea,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- but my instinct says Terence Stamp. - OK.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23On your shoulders rests the responsibility.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27It's the right answer, Judith. So much patting of the back there.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29OK, it's all square. Eggsterminators,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33in 1940, Clement Attlee took on which position
0:22:33 > 0:22:36in Winston Churchill's first war cabinet?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Well, Richard, history.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46My first thought was deputy prime minister, but it isn't there.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Labour, I think, was erm...
0:22:51 > 0:22:53..the Welsh...
0:22:55 > 0:22:57..unionist, I can't think of his name.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02Lord Privy Seal. Foreign Secretary, Winston Churchill...
0:23:03 > 0:23:06..removed Halifax,
0:23:06 > 0:23:11- Lord Halifax.- And who did he replace him with?- I think...
0:23:12 > 0:23:17No, I don't think he did initially remove Halifax. Lord Privy Seal.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- You think?- I hope.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- You sure? - No. No, but it's my best bet.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30We're going with Richard's knowledge of history rather than mine
0:23:30 > 0:23:34and we're going to go down the middle, Lord Privy Seal.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Lord Privy Seal. - Richard's knowledge of history.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Well, he showed that in the head-to-head. He's shown it again.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- It's the right answer. - Oh, well done, Richard.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Eggheads, well, that could win the money for them.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Which architect, who died in 1986,
0:23:50 > 0:23:55was the lead architect of New York's original World Trade Center complex?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Which architect, who died in 1986,
0:24:03 > 0:24:08was the lead architect of New York's original World Trade Center complex?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Is it? - Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's him,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13because William Le Baron Jenney
0:24:13 > 0:24:16was much earlier, he was involved with early skyscrapers.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- James Hoban is even earlier.- Yeah.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- He was involved with Washington.- Yes.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25So one of the co-architects was...
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- I knew it.- ..Minoru Yamasaki.- OK.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31It's Minoru Yamasaki.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Lead architect of the original World Trade Center. It's correct.
0:24:35 > 0:24:41We go to sudden death. OK. Well played, Rob and Richard, so far.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44It's getting a lot harder now because we're removing the options
0:24:44 > 0:24:46for sudden death to sort out a winner.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49In the 1990s, the broadcaster Russell Davies
0:24:49 > 0:24:52edited the diaries of which Carry On actor?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- Well, take your pick.- 1990s.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Kenneth Williams, Sid James.- Yep.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- Kenneth Williams.- I'm kind of drawn towards Kenneth Williams.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Yeah?- Let's go with him.- Yeah.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11We're going to... We're thinking of Sid James or Kenneth Williams,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13but we're going to plump for Kenneth Williams.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Kenneth Williams, whose diaries were edited by Russell Davies.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20It's the right answer.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Well, Eggheads, some work to do.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Eggheads, the Gardeners' World presenter Joe Swift
0:25:28 > 0:25:32is the son of which prize-winning novelist
0:25:32 > 0:25:36and former editor of the Oxford Companion To English Literature?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38The Gardeners' World presenter Joe Swift
0:25:38 > 0:25:40is the son of which prize-winning novelist
0:25:40 > 0:25:43and former editor of the Oxford Companion To English Literature?
0:25:43 > 0:25:48- That's Margaret Drabble.- Margaret Drabble is the right answer.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50OK, back to the Eggsterminators.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52The birr, B-I-R-R,
0:25:52 > 0:25:57is the official monetary unit of which East African country?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Nothing springs to mind, does it? - Not immediately, unfortunately.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Erm, right, let's get on the right side.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05East Africa. Tanzania.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Work down to the horn of Africa. It's not South Africa.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14- No.- It's not East African.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- What else is up that side?- Angola.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Tanzania. Kenya.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It's got to be somewhere fairly obscure, hasn't it?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Let's go a bit further up.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Kenya.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Sudan?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Yeah.- Somalia?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I've no idea what Somalia's got.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Well, shall we go with that, then?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Do you think?- Let's have a punt. - Probably Al would've known.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Yes.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48We're going to go Somalia. Yeah? We're going to go Somalia.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52OK, Somalia for the birr. Do you think that's right, Eggheads?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- No.- Ethiopia.- It's Ethiopia.- Ah!
0:26:56 > 0:27:01So, five questions in, somebody's going to crack.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04But still in it till the Eggheads get theirs correct.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Eggheads, Shakespeare Beach and Shakespeare Cliff
0:27:08 > 0:27:11are located in which English county?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Shakespeare Beach and Shakespeare Cliff
0:27:14 > 0:27:16are located in which English county?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Kent.- Yeah, it's... - Between Folkestone and Dover.- Yeah.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I come from Folkestone.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- It's where? In Kent.- Kent.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Is it a white cliff?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30It's a white cliff. It's in Kent.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Daphne comes from Kent. - Yes.- Originally?
0:27:33 > 0:27:39- From Folkestone.- Kent is the right answer. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49I'm exhausted and I only ask the questions. That was a great quiz.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Well done. And in particular, we do have to single out Richard there.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58A great head-to-head and took the Eggheads into sudden death, as well.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01All of you played your part. Thank you very much, Eggsterminators,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03for making it such a wonderful show.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally
0:28:05 > 0:28:09and their winning streak continues. You won't go home with the £11,000.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12That means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:19 > 0:28:23to defeat the Eggheads. £12,000 now says they don't.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Until then, goodbye.
