0:00:03 > 0:00:06These 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 > 0:00:35Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This team of colleagues
0:00:39 > 0:00:41all work for the same Swedish bank
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and take their team name from the fact that the boss is the current Lord Mayor of London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi. I'm Liam. I'm 44 and I'm a money market trader.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi. I'm Nick, I'm 36 and I'm a foreign exchange salesman.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi. I'm Simon. I'm 55 and I'm a project manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi. I'm Brad. I'm 36 and I'm a bank business manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Richard. I'm 57 and I'm a compliance officer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Liam and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Thank you. I won't describe you as bankers, don't worry!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I know that grates a vibe! Tell me about the Lord Mayor of London thing.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Our boss of our branch in London, Roger Gifford, is lord mayor this year.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24He's taken a sabbatical from the bank.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Hopefully he's spreading the good news about banking
0:01:27 > 0:01:31and trying to make us a bit better in the eyes of the public, I think.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33It'll help us all. You work together. Do you quiz together?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Occasionally quiz together.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38We all quiz in different teams.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Have you gone through some strategy for dealing with these five?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46A number of times! Anyway, good luck, guys.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51I hope the Lord Mayor of London is watching you competing in his name.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03So, Having a Mayor, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won the last 21 games
0:02:03 > 0:02:07which means there's a handy amount of money to go through your tills if you win.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Shall we get cracking?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Which one of you would like this?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Brad, are you going to take that?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Brad, will you go for that? Yes, if no-one objects.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Brad, against which Egghead?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Go for Chris? Yeah, maybe Chris. Go for Chris.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Chris, please, Jeremy. Good luck to you, Brad.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Brad from Having a Mayor versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43OK. Film & Television, Brad. You can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Good luck, Brad. Here's your first question.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Who directed the film version of Les Miserables,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57released in the UK in January 2013?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Um, unfortunately, I haven't seen that film yet.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Um... But...
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Um, it doesn't sound like a Guy Ritchie film to me!
0:03:11 > 0:03:17I think, Jeremy, I'm not sure why,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19but I'm being pulled towards Danny Boyle.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21So I'll go for Danny Boyle.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Well, he was pretty busy in 2012 with the Olympics and all that.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29He didn't fit this film in. It was Tom Hooper.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32So, a chance for Chris to take the lead.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Chris, which MP was suspended by the Conservative Party in 2012
0:03:37 > 0:03:41after her decision to appear on the programme I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Ah. Louise Mensch got herself suspended. It wasn't for I'm A Celebrity.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52It was Nadine Dorries.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54It was indeed Nadine Dorries.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Brad, your question. Which company acquired
0:03:56 > 0:04:00George Lucas's Lucas Film Ltd
0:04:00 > 0:04:05in late 2012 for a figure reported to be over $4 billion.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13OK. So I think I remember this being in the news at the time.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I believe that this company
0:04:15 > 0:04:19is going to be making the next three Star Wars movies.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23That wouldn't fit the News Corporation!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Time Warner doesn't sound right, either.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29So I'll go for The Walt Disney Company.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31The Walt Disney Company is quite right.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33You've got it. Off the blocks. Well done.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Chris, your second question.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Who directed and starred in the 2012 film Argo?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Not Eastwood. Not Clooney. Ben Affleck.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48He did rather well with that film, didn't he?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Yep. Ben Affleck it is. Well done.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53OK, so you need this one, Brad.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Who played the part of Kate Starling,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00the wife of Richard Briers's challenge George,
0:05:00 > 0:05:04in the popular '60s sitcom Marriage Lines?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12OK. That was a little bit before my time.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17So I'm not too familiar with it, I'm afraid.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19So it is going to have to be a guess.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Um, I'm being pulled towards Prunella Scales.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27So I'll go for Prunella Scales, Jeremy.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29You're finding your rhythm here. You're right again.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Prunella Scales it is.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Chris, your question. If you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39The 1970s sitcom Don't Drink The Water,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41a spin-off from On The Buses,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44was largely set in which country?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yes, it was Stephen Lewis's Blakey,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52having packed in the buses and gone to live in Spain.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Spain.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58You're never going to get a question about buses or trains wrong!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Spain is the right answer. Well done, Chris.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Bad luck, Brad. You've been knocked out. You won't be in the final.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Chris our Egghead will, but it's still very early days.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13As it stands, you've lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18The next subject is Science.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Who would like that?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22You, or is it going to be me?
0:06:22 > 0:06:23This is what we talked about earlier.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Shall we take a risk?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28It's not risky. I'll do it. You want to go for it, do you?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31If you want. If you win, you'll be in the final, won't you.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33So you can't not go... OK.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I'll go for it. Liam.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Against which Egghead?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Anyone but Chris. I don't know.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Shall we go for Dave. Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45"Tremendous knowledge Dave".
0:06:45 > 0:06:50OK, so Liam from Having a Mayor versus "tremendous knowledge Dave" on science.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Please go to the question room now.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54OK. Good luck in this round. Science.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Liam, would you like to go first or second?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I'll go first, please.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Here we go. In computing,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08what name is commonly given to software that is added to an existing program
0:07:08 > 0:07:10in order to enhance it?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Hmm.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19The only one that I recognise there as a phrase that's been used before
0:07:19 > 0:07:20is plug-in.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Which I think I've seen pop up on my computer in the past.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26So it will have to be plug-in.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Plug-in is the right answer. It answers a question for me,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31cos I see this pop up. I don't know what it is.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33OK, Dave, your question.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37The word pulmonary relates to which part of the body?
0:07:39 > 0:07:44Lungs. Lungs is the right answer. Well done. Straight there.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46OK. Back to you, Liam.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Which of these was a large flightless bird
0:07:50 > 0:07:54that was hunted to extinction by the Maori of New Zealand?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Hmm. Not sure about that one.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Macaque I thought was some sort of monkey.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Maybe I'm wrong. Mica I don't recognise that word at all.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Moa rings a bell, and it sounds a bit Maori, as well.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Perhaps cos it's half the word.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15So I'll go for Moa.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Yes, the moa was mown down by the Maori.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20That's right. Moa it is.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22OK, Dave, your question.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Bathyscaphes and bathyspheres
0:08:26 > 0:08:31are vessels used to travel in which parts of the planet?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I thought it was the oceans. It's to do with the depth of the sea.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41So oceans has to be my answer.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Spot on, Dave. Oceans it is. OK, Liam, back to you.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Sorry,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48he's not giving you any breaks here, is he? Not yet, no.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51He's known as "tremendous knowledge"!
0:08:51 > 0:08:55What common name was given to copper acetoarsenite,
0:08:55 > 0:09:01which was used as a pigment despite its highly toxic properties?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Well, copper's slightly reddish, but then it does go green
0:09:10 > 0:09:12when it oxidises.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Don't know if that makes a difference.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17So on that basis, I'll rule out London Blue
0:09:17 > 0:09:21and go for a 50/50 chance between green or red.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23So I'll go for Paris Green.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I think your team like that answer, do you, team?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Yeah.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Although you said it's red. I think of copper roofing and that's green.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Paris Green is the right answer.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Three out of three. Very good.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37So, Dave, tough contest.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43Which of these astronauts set foot on the moon first?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It could be a mistake, but I'll go Alan Bean.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I think Barry knows this. Barry?
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Yes, it's correct. Conrad and Bean were the second pair to set foot on the moon.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Oh, gosh, and how obscure are they?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Because they're not the first. Amazing.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Alan Bean is the right answer.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05OK. Three out of three for you both. A very strong science round.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10It's sudden death. It's harder, now, Liam, cos I don't give you alternative answers.
0:10:10 > 0:10:16Mercury and which other member of the solar system have been labelled "the inferior planets"?
0:10:16 > 0:10:21It depends whether it means smaller or nearer to the sun.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27I'm going to guess it means smaller, which would mean Mars. So I'll go for Mars.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Interesting. You've got exactly the right logic
0:10:31 > 0:10:37and intelligently worked out that they're inferior because they're nearer the sun than the Earth.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's Venus.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Dave, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48In 1972, the American scientist John Bardeen
0:10:48 > 0:10:54became the first person to win a Nobel Prize in which category twice?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'll go physics.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Physics is correct.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Dave, very well done to you.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Physics was the answer. You're in the final.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Sorry, Liam. You played very well there and they're going to miss you.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'm sure they'll be fine!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Let's see what happens next. Both please come back to the studio.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16As it stands, Having a Mayor have now lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Who wants this?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24That was my other one. Who's going to do this?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Are you going to stay here, then? So which of you two?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30If you're not fussed, I'll take it.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You'll take it? Yeah. OK.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Nick's going to go Arts & Books. Nick is going for it. OK.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Nick against which Egghead? It can't be Dave or Chris.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Go for Kevin. Yeah, whichever.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I don't mind, to be honest. We'll take on Kevin.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45So Nick from Having a Mayor versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47To ensure no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51This is Arts & Books, now.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54You're up against Kevin. Would you like to go first or second?
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I think going first hasn't worked too well so far, so I'll go second.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Here we go, Kevin, with your question.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Which of these is the title of a poem by Philip Larkin
0:12:06 > 0:12:10describing a railway journey from Hull's Paragon Station?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Right. Um, sounds like more one for Chris, this, doesn't it?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25But anyway, The Whitsun Weddings is a Larkin, so...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30You're right. The Whitsun Weddings it is.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31OK.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Over to you, Nick.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39The character created by Leslie Charteris and known as The Saint,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41is called Simon what?
0:12:44 > 0:12:49I actually remember a TV series called The Saint.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53It's going back I'm not sure when, a few years ago.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I did see a few of those, so I'm fairly confident
0:12:55 > 0:13:01and also when it came up, Simon Templar seems to ring a bell.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I'm pretty sure it's Simon Templar.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Simon Templar it is. Well done.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Kevin, your question.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11"Is It Just Me?", published in October 2012,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15is a book by which TV personality?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Well, I haven't read it,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24but I think, luckily, I have, just by chance,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27recently seen it somewhere on a bookshelf!
0:13:27 > 0:13:28I think it's Miranda Hart.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It is Miranda Hart. You're correct.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35So, level pegging, if you get this one right, Nick.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38A famous painting by Henri Matisse
0:13:38 > 0:13:42features a cylindrical bowl of water containing what?
0:13:47 > 0:13:52Right. Um... A complete blank on that, to be honest.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56A cylindrical object with three jellyfish in?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59It would be pretty big and wouldn't make a lot of sense.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Well, to me it wouldn't!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Yeah, it's a 50/50 guess.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I think goldfish. I'll go with that, please.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10It's goldfish. You're quite right.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Well done, Nick.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15OK, Kevin, your question.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18In the 1990s, the Job Centre worker Sue Tilley,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21sometimes referred to as Big Sue,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24was a muse for which painter?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Yeah, I think he famously painted her in the nude.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35She was a rather large lady.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38This was Lucian Freud.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Lucian Freud is the correct answer.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Nick, you need this to stay in. He's playing well,
0:14:43 > 0:14:44but then he always does!
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Here's your question. Which artist won the 2012 Turner Prize
0:14:48 > 0:14:51for a series of video installations?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00It's a complete guess, but for some reason Luke Fowler stands out.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03But to be honest, I don't even know who he is!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06A complete guess. I'll go with that one, Luke Fowler.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10It's a tough one. It's not Luke Fowler, it's Elizabeth Price.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13If you don't know it, there's no way of guessing that.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18The famous Turner Prize has taken you out of the contest, Nick. Sorry.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Kevin will be in the final. Please both you return to your teams.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27So as it stands, we have a problem, Houston, don't we?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Yeah! But you can still come back.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33And remember that the Mayor of London is watching!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Yes. Is there a message for him at this point?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37We're sorry!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43So three brains gone from the challengers. The Eggheads are still intact.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45No cracked shells yet.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46The next subject is History.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Who would like History on this side?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Going to go for it? I'll go for it.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Richard against which Egghead?
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Your choice. Who have we got? Barry, Daphne? I'll go for Daphne, please.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Richard from Having a Mayor versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10History. First or second, Richard?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Here we go, Richard. Good luck.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21If a highwayman was a thief on horseback who robbed travellers on the highway,
0:16:21 > 0:16:26what name was given to an equivalent robber on foot?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Um, toepunt doesn't sound too likely.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35It's my skill at football, toepunting!
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Brown heeler doesn't ring a bell.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I certainly think footpad is the answer.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44The footpad.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Footpad is the right answer. Well done.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48OK.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50The contestant in the pearls is next!
0:16:51 > 0:16:58During the 15th century, the house of Aviz was a royal house in which European country?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04It was Portugal.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It was, indeed, Portugal. Correct answer. One each.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Back to you, Richard.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15The Sasanian Dynasty, also known as the Sasanid Empire,
0:17:15 > 0:17:21ruled in which area of the world from the third to the seventh centuries?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I certainly don't think Norway fits the bill.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Mexico seems rather remote.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36And I think for the period you're talking about,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I'll plump for Iran.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41You went there brilliantly. Iran is the right answer. Well done.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44OK, Daphne.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48The 19th-century French businessman Louis Hachette
0:17:48 > 0:17:51was particularly associated with which type of business?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Ooh!
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Haven't heard of him. Um...
0:17:59 > 0:18:02He could be any of those.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Sorry, team. Pure guess.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Transport?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Who knows? Any Eggheads know?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Publisher. They say publishing, Daphne.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Oh. OK!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22So you got it wrong. The answer was publishing.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Your chance, then, with this question to take the lead, Richard. Maybe turn things around for you.
0:18:26 > 0:18:33The Lorenz cipher machine, widely used by German forces in World War II,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36was given what nickname by the British?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Oh. Uh...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Interesting names.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Clammy, Tunny, I'm not sure.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I'm going to go for Squiddy.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53But it's just a pure guess.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56The Lorenz cipher machine was actually nicknamed Tunny.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58So Daphne has a chance to catch you.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Marie Louise O'Murphy,
0:19:03 > 0:19:07believed to be the subject of nude portraits by Francois Boucher,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10was the mistress of which French monarch?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16Ah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Louis XV.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Louis XV it is.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26OK. Two points each. We go to sudden death.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Gets harder, Richard, I don't give you alternatives.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32The literary attacks on the hierarchy of the Church of England
0:19:32 > 0:19:37that were written under the pseudonym of Martin Marprelate
0:19:37 > 0:19:40took place during the reign of which sovereign?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I'm thinking it might be Charles I.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Charles I. Written in 1588, 1589,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51not Charles I, Elizabeth I.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Daphne, get this right and you're in the final round.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59In the United States, the tax protest known as The Whisky Rebellion
0:19:59 > 0:20:02occurred during which president's tenure in office?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I think it was early on.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09George Washington?
0:20:09 > 0:20:13It started in 1791. You're right, it was George Washington. Well done.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16You've taken that History round against, I sense, a very strong player.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Richard, commiserations. Thank you. Been knocked out by an Egghead.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25You won't be in the final. If you rejoin your teams, we will play that final round.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30This is what we've been playing towards. It's time for the final round.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32As always, that is general knowledge.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part in this round.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40It's happened a lot, recently, the challengers have been reduced to one.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44So no shame in that, but it's not going to be easy for the last remaining player.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50We have to ask Liam, Nick, Brad and Richard from Having a Mayor to please leave the studio.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Simon, you are playing to break the Eggheads' bank here.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00That's what needs to happen. £22,000 you'll win if you triumph.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Kevin, Dave, Daphne, Chris and Barry,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06you're playing for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11The questions are all general knowledge.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14You are allowed to confer! No help to you, I know!
0:21:14 > 0:21:18So, Having a Mayor, the question is,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Simon, would you like to go first or second?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28I think I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Good luck. The town of Saffron Walden is in which English county?
0:21:39 > 0:21:44OK. Well, I know Dorset fairly well.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47It's certainly not come across my radar there.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I recognise it from being on the way up to Cambridge
0:21:50 > 0:21:56so I would say Essex would be my answer, Jeremy.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Essex is correct. Well done.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Always good to get that one right.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Eggheads, who wrote the book for the musical Viva Forever!,
0:22:04 > 0:22:08which made its West End debut in 2012?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16ALL: Jennifer Saunders.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20We're all in total agreement. It was Jennifer Saunders.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It was indeed Jennifer Saunders.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25OK. Back to you, Simon.
0:22:25 > 0:22:31Legio Patria Nostra is the motto of which organisation?
0:22:36 > 0:22:42I think I'm probably going to eliminate the FBI.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I'm not sure about the Salvation Army.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I'm tending towards the French Foreign Legion, I think.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51French Foreign Legion is correct.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Eggheads, your second question.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55See what you do with this.
0:22:55 > 0:23:01The iconic photographic portrait taken by Steve McCurry in 1984
0:23:01 > 0:23:05of an Afghan girl with distinctive green eyes
0:23:05 > 0:23:08first appeared on the cover of which magazine?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14ALL: National Geographic.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17It was probably one of the most striking images ever
0:23:17 > 0:23:20and it appeared on the cover of National Geographic.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22National Geographic is the correct answer.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Two each. Hang on in there, Simon.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Get this one right, and they could just fall apart.
0:23:29 > 0:23:35The opening fanfare from Leonard Salzedo's Divertimento for brass
0:23:35 > 0:23:41was used as the signature music for which TV broadcasts?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I don't really have a clue about this one.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I don't recall there being any fanfare for Ceefax.
0:23:54 > 0:24:01The Trade Test transmissions, I remember the old days, but not a variety of music.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06I think I'll have to go straight down the middle and go for The Open University, Jeremy.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10You're correct. The Open University is the right answer.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13You've played a perfect round so far, Simon.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And you may not have to do any more.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18If the Eggheads get this one wrong, £22,000 is going to be yours.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Your question, Eggheads,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25get this one wrong and the money goes to the bankers!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I know how good that'll make you feel(!)
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Which football manager played for The Seattle Sounders
0:24:33 > 0:24:38in the USA between 1976 and 1979?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Right. I know what I'm inclined to say.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48But I can't have any guarantees on that.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52But Harry Redknapp would...
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I'd rule out Wenger.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Hmm. Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Now, it's a question of how long Roy Hodgson's been coaching.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03He started quite early, didn't he?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06He started in his mid... Redknapp was playing in the '70s.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09And finished off, I think, at Bournemouth.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I think he was still playing in the 1980s.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14So it's not beyond the realms of possibility
0:25:14 > 0:25:17that he would go to Seattle
0:25:17 > 0:25:19to play football. Mm.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24And then he was certainly playing in the lower leagues with Bournemouth
0:25:24 > 0:25:27in the early '80s. Yes.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28So that makes sense.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32But it's towards the break-up of the North American soccer league.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36When did Hodgson take his first coaching post in Scandinavia?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I think that would be about the '80s.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Yeah, the '80s. But what...
0:25:41 > 0:25:43It could be Hodgson. It could be.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47But I would really have an inclination towards Harry Redknapp.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I would, too. Agreed? I'm happy with that. Take it.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Well, I've listened to the argument carefully
0:25:54 > 0:25:56cos the first thing that came to my mind was Harry Redknapp.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58But I needed facts to back it up.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01So on that basis, I'm happy to go with it. I'd go for Harry Redknapp.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03We're all happy with it? Go on.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07As you've gathered, there's a fair degree of uncertainty in our answer.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11But we're all decided that we're going to go for Harry Redknapp.
0:26:11 > 0:26:17The person in question played 24 games for the Seattle Sounders.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Scored not once! It was Harry Redknapp.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Phew! Well done! Well done!
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I'm sorry, Simon, about that.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29That's annoying! You were going to be through on goal, there! Yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Goodness gracious me! They were not certain.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Although well done to "tremendous knowledge Dave" for plugging away.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39OK. We go to sudden death. Big jackpot.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42£22,000. It's been a while since we've had one that big.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Gets a bit harder, as you know.
0:26:43 > 0:26:49Simon, the version of the song Mad World by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules
0:26:49 > 0:26:54featured on the sound track of which 2001 film?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I'm not sure. I'll just have to offer a complete guess.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Fargo.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It wasn't Fargo. Eggheads?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Donnie Darko. Donnie Darko.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12A surreal, crazy film.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Although a brilliant movie.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16So if the Eggheads get this one right, they've ended the contest.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20"Who's on first?", was the title of a famous routine
0:27:20 > 0:27:23by which American comedy duo?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26ALL ANSWER IN UNISON
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Abbott and Costello. Definitely Abbott and Costello. Yeah.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's a well-known Abbott and Costello routine.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Do you think they're right, Simon? I'm afraid I think they're right!
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Eggheads, the answer is Abbott and Costello.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42You're right. Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Many teams that get the three right in the final round don't have to do any more work.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54So it's a shame they took you to sudden death
0:27:54 > 0:27:58cos if there had been a bit more uncertainty on Harry Redknapp, who knows?
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Yeah. Interesting.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Well played. I hope you enjoyed it. Had a good time?
0:28:02 > 0:28:03We've had a great time. Thank you very much.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Glad you enjoyed yourself. Thank you.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Sorry, the Eggheads are on a great run of form.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Commiserations to Having a Mayor.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13This team have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15And their winning streak continues.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £22,000.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20So the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:24 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31£23,000 says they don't!
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Until then, goodbye!
