These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:030:00:06

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:14

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:160:00:19

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:230:00:26

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:260:00:31

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:310:00:33

Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are...

0:00:330:00:35

This team of colleagues

0:00:370:00:39

all work for the same Swedish bank

0:00:390:00:41

and take their team name from the fact that the boss is the current Lord Mayor of London.

0:00:410:00:44

Let's meet them.

0:00:440:00:46

Hi. I'm Liam. I'm 44 and I'm a money market trader.

0:00:460:00:50

Hi. I'm Nick, I'm 36 and I'm a foreign exchange salesman.

0:00:500:00:54

Hi. I'm Simon. I'm 55 and I'm a project manager.

0:00:540:00:58

Hi. I'm Brad. I'm 36 and I'm a bank business manager.

0:00:580:01:02

Hi. I'm Richard. I'm 57 and I'm a compliance officer.

0:01:020:01:06

Liam and team, welcome. Good to see you.

0:01:060:01:08

Thank you. I won't describe you as bankers, don't worry!

0:01:080:01:13

I know that grates a vibe! Tell me about the Lord Mayor of London thing.

0:01:130:01:16

Our boss of our branch in London, Roger Gifford, is lord mayor this year.

0:01:160:01:20

He's taken a sabbatical from the bank.

0:01:200:01:24

Hopefully he's spreading the good news about banking

0:01:240:01:27

and trying to make us a bit better in the eyes of the public, I think.

0:01:270:01:31

It'll help us all. You work together. Do you quiz together?

0:01:310:01:33

Occasionally quiz together.

0:01:330:01:36

We all quiz in different teams.

0:01:360:01:38

Have you gone through some strategy for dealing with these five?

0:01:380:01:42

A number of times! Anyway, good luck, guys.

0:01:420:01:46

I hope the Lord Mayor of London is watching you competing in his name.

0:01:460:01:51

Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:510:01:54

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:540:01:56

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:560:01:59

So, Having a Mayor, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won the last 21 games

0:01:590:02:03

which means there's a handy amount of money to go through your tills if you win.

0:02:030:02:07

Shall we get cracking?

0:02:080:02:10

The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of...

0:02:100:02:13

Which one of you would like this?

0:02:130:02:15

Brad, are you going to take that?

0:02:170:02:20

Brad, will you go for that? Yes, if no-one objects.

0:02:200:02:23

Brad, against which Egghead?

0:02:230:02:26

Go for Chris? Yeah, maybe Chris. Go for Chris.

0:02:260:02:29

Chris, please, Jeremy. Good luck to you, Brad.

0:02:290:02:31

Brad from Having a Mayor versus Chris from the Eggheads.

0:02:310:02:34

To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:02:340:02:38

OK. Film & Television, Brad. You can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:02:400:02:43

I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:02:430:02:45

Good luck, Brad. Here's your first question.

0:02:480:02:50

Who directed the film version of Les Miserables,

0:02:500:02:53

released in the UK in January 2013?

0:02:530:02:57

Um, unfortunately, I haven't seen that film yet.

0:03:000:03:04

Um... But...

0:03:040:03:06

Um, it doesn't sound like a Guy Ritchie film to me!

0:03:060:03:11

I think, Jeremy, I'm not sure why,

0:03:110:03:17

but I'm being pulled towards Danny Boyle.

0:03:170:03:19

So I'll go for Danny Boyle.

0:03:190:03:21

Well, he was pretty busy in 2012 with the Olympics and all that.

0:03:210:03:26

He didn't fit this film in. It was Tom Hooper.

0:03:260:03:29

So, a chance for Chris to take the lead.

0:03:290:03:32

Chris, which MP was suspended by the Conservative Party in 2012

0:03:320:03:37

after her decision to appear on the programme I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

0:03:370:03:41

Ah. Louise Mensch got herself suspended. It wasn't for I'm A Celebrity.

0:03:450:03:50

It was Nadine Dorries.

0:03:500:03:52

It was indeed Nadine Dorries.

0:03:520:03:54

Brad, your question. Which company acquired

0:03:540:03:56

George Lucas's Lucas Film Ltd

0:03:560:04:00

in late 2012 for a figure reported to be over $4 billion.

0:04:000:04:05

OK. So I think I remember this being in the news at the time.

0:04:080:04:13

I believe that this company

0:04:130:04:15

is going to be making the next three Star Wars movies.

0:04:150:04:19

That wouldn't fit the News Corporation!

0:04:190:04:23

Time Warner doesn't sound right, either.

0:04:230:04:26

So I'll go for The Walt Disney Company.

0:04:260:04:29

The Walt Disney Company is quite right.

0:04:290:04:31

You've got it. Off the blocks. Well done.

0:04:310:04:33

Chris, your second question.

0:04:330:04:35

Who directed and starred in the 2012 film Argo?

0:04:350:04:39

Not Eastwood. Not Clooney. Ben Affleck.

0:04:430:04:46

He did rather well with that film, didn't he?

0:04:460:04:48

Yep. Ben Affleck it is. Well done.

0:04:480:04:50

OK, so you need this one, Brad.

0:04:500:04:53

Who played the part of Kate Starling,

0:04:530:04:57

the wife of Richard Briers's challenge George,

0:04:570:05:00

in the popular '60s sitcom Marriage Lines?

0:05:000:05:04

OK. That was a little bit before my time.

0:05:100:05:12

So I'm not too familiar with it, I'm afraid.

0:05:120:05:17

So it is going to have to be a guess.

0:05:170:05:19

Um, I'm being pulled towards Prunella Scales.

0:05:190:05:23

So I'll go for Prunella Scales, Jeremy.

0:05:230:05:27

You're finding your rhythm here. You're right again.

0:05:270:05:29

Prunella Scales it is.

0:05:290:05:31

Chris, your question. If you get this right, you're in the final round.

0:05:310:05:34

The 1970s sitcom Don't Drink The Water,

0:05:340:05:39

a spin-off from On The Buses,

0:05:390:05:41

was largely set in which country?

0:05:410:05:44

Yes, it was Stephen Lewis's Blakey,

0:05:470:05:49

having packed in the buses and gone to live in Spain.

0:05:490:05:52

Spain.

0:05:520:05:53

You're never going to get a question about buses or trains wrong!

0:05:540:05:58

Spain is the right answer. Well done, Chris.

0:05:580:06:00

Bad luck, Brad. You've been knocked out. You won't be in the final.

0:06:000:06:03

Chris our Egghead will, but it's still very early days.

0:06:030:06:06

Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates.

0:06:060:06:09

As it stands, you've lost one brain from the final round.

0:06:100:06:13

The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.

0:06:130:06:16

The next subject is Science.

0:06:160:06:18

Who would like that?

0:06:180:06:20

You, or is it going to be me?

0:06:200:06:22

This is what we talked about earlier.

0:06:220:06:23

Shall we take a risk?

0:06:230:06:25

It's not risky. I'll do it. You want to go for it, do you?

0:06:250:06:28

If you want. If you win, you'll be in the final, won't you.

0:06:280:06:31

So you can't not go... OK.

0:06:310:06:33

I'll go for it. Liam.

0:06:330:06:36

Against which Egghead?

0:06:360:06:38

Anyone but Chris. I don't know.

0:06:380:06:41

Shall we go for Dave. Yeah.

0:06:410:06:43

"Tremendous knowledge Dave".

0:06:430:06:45

OK, so Liam from Having a Mayor versus "tremendous knowledge Dave" on science.

0:06:450:06:50

Please go to the question room now.

0:06:500:06:52

OK. Good luck in this round. Science.

0:06:530:06:54

Liam, would you like to go first or second?

0:06:540:06:56

I'll go first, please.

0:06:560:06:58

Here we go. In computing,

0:07:010:07:04

what name is commonly given to software that is added to an existing program

0:07:040:07:08

in order to enhance it?

0:07:080:07:10

Hmm.

0:07:120:07:14

The only one that I recognise there as a phrase that's been used before

0:07:140:07:19

is plug-in.

0:07:190:07:20

Which I think I've seen pop up on my computer in the past.

0:07:200:07:24

So it will have to be plug-in.

0:07:240:07:26

Plug-in is the right answer. It answers a question for me,

0:07:260:07:29

cos I see this pop up. I don't know what it is.

0:07:290:07:31

OK, Dave, your question.

0:07:310:07:33

The word pulmonary relates to which part of the body?

0:07:330:07:37

Lungs. Lungs is the right answer. Well done. Straight there.

0:07:390:07:44

OK. Back to you, Liam.

0:07:450:07:46

Which of these was a large flightless bird

0:07:460:07:50

that was hunted to extinction by the Maori of New Zealand?

0:07:500:07:54

Hmm. Not sure about that one.

0:07:580:08:00

Macaque I thought was some sort of monkey.

0:08:010:08:04

Maybe I'm wrong. Mica I don't recognise that word at all.

0:08:040:08:07

Moa rings a bell, and it sounds a bit Maori, as well.

0:08:070:08:11

Perhaps cos it's half the word.

0:08:110:08:13

So I'll go for Moa.

0:08:130:08:15

Yes, the moa was mown down by the Maori.

0:08:150:08:18

That's right. Moa it is.

0:08:180:08:20

OK, Dave, your question.

0:08:200:08:22

Bathyscaphes and bathyspheres

0:08:220:08:26

are vessels used to travel in which parts of the planet?

0:08:260:08:31

I thought it was the oceans. It's to do with the depth of the sea.

0:08:350:08:39

So oceans has to be my answer.

0:08:390:08:41

Spot on, Dave. Oceans it is. OK, Liam, back to you.

0:08:410:08:45

Sorry,

0:08:450:08:46

he's not giving you any breaks here, is he? Not yet, no.

0:08:460:08:48

He's known as "tremendous knowledge"!

0:08:480:08:51

What common name was given to copper acetoarsenite,

0:08:510:08:55

which was used as a pigment despite its highly toxic properties?

0:08:550:09:01

Well, copper's slightly reddish, but then it does go green

0:09:060:09:10

when it oxidises.

0:09:100:09:12

Don't know if that makes a difference.

0:09:120:09:14

So on that basis, I'll rule out London Blue

0:09:140:09:17

and go for a 50/50 chance between green or red.

0:09:170:09:21

So I'll go for Paris Green.

0:09:210:09:23

I think your team like that answer, do you, team?

0:09:230:09:25

Yeah.

0:09:250:09:26

Although you said it's red. I think of copper roofing and that's green.

0:09:260:09:30

Paris Green is the right answer.

0:09:300:09:33

Three out of three. Very good.

0:09:330:09:35

So, Dave, tough contest.

0:09:350:09:37

Which of these astronauts set foot on the moon first?

0:09:370:09:43

It could be a mistake, but I'll go Alan Bean.

0:09:470:09:49

I think Barry knows this. Barry?

0:09:500:09:52

Yes, it's correct. Conrad and Bean were the second pair to set foot on the moon.

0:09:520:09:57

Oh, gosh, and how obscure are they?

0:09:570:09:58

Because they're not the first. Amazing.

0:09:580:10:00

Alan Bean is the right answer.

0:10:000:10:02

OK. Three out of three for you both. A very strong science round.

0:10:020:10:05

It's sudden death. It's harder, now, Liam, cos I don't give you alternative answers.

0:10:050:10:10

Mercury and which other member of the solar system have been labelled "the inferior planets"?

0:10:100:10:16

It depends whether it means smaller or nearer to the sun.

0:10:160:10:21

I'm going to guess it means smaller, which would mean Mars. So I'll go for Mars.

0:10:220:10:27

Interesting. You've got exactly the right logic

0:10:290:10:31

and intelligently worked out that they're inferior because they're nearer the sun than the Earth.

0:10:310:10:37

It's Venus.

0:10:370:10:39

Dave, if you get this right, you're in the final round.

0:10:410:10:43

In 1972, the American scientist John Bardeen

0:10:430:10:48

became the first person to win a Nobel Prize in which category twice?

0:10:480:10:54

I'll go physics.

0:10:540:10:56

Physics is correct.

0:10:560:10:58

Dave, very well done to you.

0:10:580:10:59

Physics was the answer. You're in the final.

0:10:590:11:01

Sorry, Liam. You played very well there and they're going to miss you.

0:11:010:11:05

I'm sure they'll be fine!

0:11:050:11:07

Let's see what happens next. Both please come back to the studio.

0:11:070:11:10

As it stands, Having a Mayor have now lost two brains from the final round.

0:11:110:11:16

The Eggheads have not lost any.

0:11:160:11:18

The next subject is Arts & Books.

0:11:180:11:20

Who wants this?

0:11:200:11:22

That was my other one. Who's going to do this?

0:11:220:11:24

Are you going to stay here, then? So which of you two?

0:11:240:11:28

If you're not fussed, I'll take it.

0:11:280:11:30

You'll take it? Yeah. OK.

0:11:300:11:32

Nick's going to go Arts & Books. Nick is going for it. OK.

0:11:320:11:35

Nick against which Egghead? It can't be Dave or Chris.

0:11:350:11:37

Go for Kevin. Yeah, whichever.

0:11:370:11:40

I don't mind, to be honest. We'll take on Kevin.

0:11:400:11:42

So Nick from Having a Mayor versus Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:11:420:11:45

To ensure no conferring, please go to the question room.

0:11:450:11:47

This is Arts & Books, now.

0:11:490:11:51

You're up against Kevin. Would you like to go first or second?

0:11:510:11:54

I think going first hasn't worked too well so far, so I'll go second.

0:11:540:11:58

Here we go, Kevin, with your question.

0:12:020:12:03

Which of these is the title of a poem by Philip Larkin

0:12:030:12:06

describing a railway journey from Hull's Paragon Station?

0:12:060:12:10

Right. Um, sounds like more one for Chris, this, doesn't it?

0:12:170:12:21

But anyway, The Whitsun Weddings is a Larkin, so...

0:12:210:12:25

You're right. The Whitsun Weddings it is.

0:12:270:12:30

OK.

0:12:300:12:31

Over to you, Nick.

0:12:310:12:33

The character created by Leslie Charteris and known as The Saint,

0:12:330:12:39

is called Simon what?

0:12:390:12:41

I actually remember a TV series called The Saint.

0:12:440:12:49

It's going back I'm not sure when, a few years ago.

0:12:490:12:53

I did see a few of those, so I'm fairly confident

0:12:530:12:55

and also when it came up, Simon Templar seems to ring a bell.

0:12:550:13:01

I'm pretty sure it's Simon Templar.

0:13:010:13:03

Simon Templar it is. Well done.

0:13:030:13:05

Kevin, your question.

0:13:060:13:08

"Is It Just Me?", published in October 2012,

0:13:080:13:11

is a book by which TV personality?

0:13:110:13:15

Well, I haven't read it,

0:13:190:13:21

but I think, luckily, I have, just by chance,

0:13:210:13:24

recently seen it somewhere on a bookshelf!

0:13:240:13:27

I think it's Miranda Hart.

0:13:270:13:28

It is Miranda Hart. You're correct.

0:13:280:13:31

So, level pegging, if you get this one right, Nick.

0:13:310:13:35

A famous painting by Henri Matisse

0:13:350:13:38

features a cylindrical bowl of water containing what?

0:13:380:13:42

Right. Um... A complete blank on that, to be honest.

0:13:470:13:52

A cylindrical object with three jellyfish in?

0:13:530:13:56

It would be pretty big and wouldn't make a lot of sense.

0:13:560:13:59

Well, to me it wouldn't!

0:13:590:14:02

Yeah, it's a 50/50 guess.

0:14:040:14:06

I think goldfish. I'll go with that, please.

0:14:060:14:08

It's goldfish. You're quite right.

0:14:080:14:10

Well done, Nick.

0:14:110:14:13

OK, Kevin, your question.

0:14:130:14:15

In the 1990s, the Job Centre worker Sue Tilley,

0:14:150:14:18

sometimes referred to as Big Sue,

0:14:180:14:21

was a muse for which painter?

0:14:210:14:24

Yeah, I think he famously painted her in the nude.

0:14:280:14:32

She was a rather large lady.

0:14:320:14:35

This was Lucian Freud.

0:14:350:14:38

Lucian Freud is the correct answer.

0:14:380:14:40

Nick, you need this to stay in. He's playing well,

0:14:400:14:43

but then he always does!

0:14:430:14:44

Here's your question. Which artist won the 2012 Turner Prize

0:14:440:14:48

for a series of video installations?

0:14:480:14:51

It's a complete guess, but for some reason Luke Fowler stands out.

0:14:560:15:00

But to be honest, I don't even know who he is!

0:15:000:15:03

A complete guess. I'll go with that one, Luke Fowler.

0:15:030:15:06

It's a tough one. It's not Luke Fowler, it's Elizabeth Price.

0:15:060:15:10

If you don't know it, there's no way of guessing that.

0:15:100:15:13

The famous Turner Prize has taken you out of the contest, Nick. Sorry.

0:15:130:15:18

Kevin will be in the final. Please both you return to your teams.

0:15:180:15:22

So as it stands, we have a problem, Houston, don't we?

0:15:230:15:27

Yeah! But you can still come back.

0:15:270:15:30

And remember that the Mayor of London is watching!

0:15:300:15:33

Yes. Is there a message for him at this point?

0:15:330:15:35

We're sorry!

0:15:350:15:37

So three brains gone from the challengers. The Eggheads are still intact.

0:15:390:15:43

No cracked shells yet.

0:15:430:15:45

The next subject is History.

0:15:450:15:46

Who would like History on this side?

0:15:460:15:48

Going to go for it? I'll go for it.

0:15:480:15:52

Richard against which Egghead?

0:15:520:15:54

Your choice. Who have we got? Barry, Daphne? I'll go for Daphne, please.

0:15:540:15:59

Richard from Having a Mayor versus Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:15:590:16:03

To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:16:030:16:06

History. First or second, Richard?

0:16:080:16:10

I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:16:100:16:12

Here we go, Richard. Good luck.

0:16:150:16:17

If a highwayman was a thief on horseback who robbed travellers on the highway,

0:16:170:16:21

what name was given to an equivalent robber on foot?

0:16:210:16:26

Um, toepunt doesn't sound too likely.

0:16:300:16:33

It's my skill at football, toepunting!

0:16:330:16:35

Brown heeler doesn't ring a bell.

0:16:350:16:39

I certainly think footpad is the answer.

0:16:390:16:41

The footpad.

0:16:410:16:44

Footpad is the right answer. Well done.

0:16:440:16:46

OK.

0:16:460:16:48

The contestant in the pearls is next!

0:16:480:16:50

During the 15th century, the house of Aviz was a royal house in which European country?

0:16:510:16:58

It was Portugal.

0:17:020:17:04

It was, indeed, Portugal. Correct answer. One each.

0:17:040:17:07

Back to you, Richard.

0:17:070:17:09

The Sasanian Dynasty, also known as the Sasanid Empire,

0:17:090:17:15

ruled in which area of the world from the third to the seventh centuries?

0:17:150:17:21

I certainly don't think Norway fits the bill.

0:17:250:17:29

Mexico seems rather remote.

0:17:290:17:33

And I think for the period you're talking about,

0:17:330:17:36

I'll plump for Iran.

0:17:360:17:38

You went there brilliantly. Iran is the right answer. Well done.

0:17:380:17:41

OK, Daphne.

0:17:420:17:44

The 19th-century French businessman Louis Hachette

0:17:440:17:48

was particularly associated with which type of business?

0:17:480:17:51

Ooh!

0:17:550:17:57

Haven't heard of him. Um...

0:17:570:17:59

He could be any of those.

0:17:590:18:02

Sorry, team. Pure guess.

0:18:040:18:06

Transport?

0:18:090:18:10

Who knows? Any Eggheads know?

0:18:120:18:14

Publisher. They say publishing, Daphne.

0:18:140:18:17

Oh. OK!

0:18:170:18:18

So you got it wrong. The answer was publishing.

0:18:190:18:22

Your chance, then, with this question to take the lead, Richard. Maybe turn things around for you.

0:18:220:18:26

The Lorenz cipher machine, widely used by German forces in World War II,

0:18:260:18:33

was given what nickname by the British?

0:18:330:18:36

Oh. Uh...

0:18:390:18:41

Interesting names.

0:18:410:18:43

Clammy, Tunny, I'm not sure.

0:18:450:18:48

I'm going to go for Squiddy.

0:18:490:18:51

But it's just a pure guess.

0:18:510:18:53

The Lorenz cipher machine was actually nicknamed Tunny.

0:18:530:18:56

So Daphne has a chance to catch you.

0:18:560:18:58

Marie Louise O'Murphy,

0:19:000:19:03

believed to be the subject of nude portraits by Francois Boucher,

0:19:030:19:07

was the mistress of which French monarch?

0:19:070:19:10

Ah.

0:19:150:19:16

Louis XV.

0:19:170:19:19

Louis XV it is.

0:19:190:19:22

OK. Two points each. We go to sudden death.

0:19:230:19:26

Gets harder, Richard, I don't give you alternatives.

0:19:260:19:29

The literary attacks on the hierarchy of the Church of England

0:19:290:19:32

that were written under the pseudonym of Martin Marprelate

0:19:320:19:37

took place during the reign of which sovereign?

0:19:370:19:40

I'm thinking it might be Charles I.

0:19:400:19:43

Charles I. Written in 1588, 1589,

0:19:430:19:48

not Charles I, Elizabeth I.

0:19:480:19:51

Daphne, get this right and you're in the final round.

0:19:510:19:53

In the United States, the tax protest known as The Whisky Rebellion

0:19:530:19:59

occurred during which president's tenure in office?

0:19:590:20:02

I think it was early on.

0:20:020:20:05

George Washington?

0:20:070:20:09

It started in 1791. You're right, it was George Washington. Well done.

0:20:090:20:13

You've taken that History round against, I sense, a very strong player.

0:20:130:20:16

Richard, commiserations. Thank you. Been knocked out by an Egghead.

0:20:160:20:21

You won't be in the final. If you rejoin your teams, we will play that final round.

0:20:210:20:25

This is what we've been playing towards. It's time for the final round.

0:20:270:20:30

As always, that is general knowledge.

0:20:300:20:32

Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't take part in this round.

0:20:320:20:36

It's happened a lot, recently, the challengers have been reduced to one.

0:20:360:20:40

So no shame in that, but it's not going to be easy for the last remaining player.

0:20:400:20:44

We have to ask Liam, Nick, Brad and Richard from Having a Mayor to please leave the studio.

0:20:440:20:50

Simon, you are playing to break the Eggheads' bank here.

0:20:510:20:55

That's what needs to happen. £22,000 you'll win if you triumph.

0:20:550:21:00

Kevin, Dave, Daphne, Chris and Barry,

0:21:000:21:03

you're playing for something that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.

0:21:030:21:06

I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:21:060:21:09

The questions are all general knowledge.

0:21:090:21:11

You are allowed to confer! No help to you, I know!

0:21:110:21:14

So, Having a Mayor, the question is,

0:21:140:21:18

is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:21:180:21:22

Simon, would you like to go first or second?

0:21:220:21:24

I think I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.

0:21:240:21:28

Good luck. The town of Saffron Walden is in which English county?

0:21:310:21:36

OK. Well, I know Dorset fairly well.

0:21:390:21:44

It's certainly not come across my radar there.

0:21:440:21:47

I recognise it from being on the way up to Cambridge

0:21:470:21:50

so I would say Essex would be my answer, Jeremy.

0:21:500:21:56

Essex is correct. Well done.

0:21:560:21:58

Always good to get that one right.

0:21:580:22:01

Eggheads, who wrote the book for the musical Viva Forever!,

0:22:010:22:04

which made its West End debut in 2012?

0:22:040:22:08

ALL: Jennifer Saunders.

0:22:130:22:16

We're all in total agreement. It was Jennifer Saunders.

0:22:160:22:20

It was indeed Jennifer Saunders.

0:22:200:22:22

OK. Back to you, Simon.

0:22:230:22:25

Legio Patria Nostra is the motto of which organisation?

0:22:250:22:31

I think I'm probably going to eliminate the FBI.

0:22:360:22:42

I'm not sure about the Salvation Army.

0:22:420:22:44

I'm tending towards the French Foreign Legion, I think.

0:22:460:22:49

French Foreign Legion is correct.

0:22:490:22:51

Eggheads, your second question.

0:22:510:22:53

See what you do with this.

0:22:530:22:55

The iconic photographic portrait taken by Steve McCurry in 1984

0:22:550:23:01

of an Afghan girl with distinctive green eyes

0:23:010:23:05

first appeared on the cover of which magazine?

0:23:050:23:08

ALL: National Geographic.

0:23:110:23:14

It was probably one of the most striking images ever

0:23:140:23:17

and it appeared on the cover of National Geographic.

0:23:170:23:20

National Geographic is the correct answer.

0:23:200:23:22

Two each. Hang on in there, Simon.

0:23:220:23:25

Get this one right, and they could just fall apart.

0:23:250:23:28

The opening fanfare from Leonard Salzedo's Divertimento for brass

0:23:290:23:35

was used as the signature music for which TV broadcasts?

0:23:350:23:41

I don't really have a clue about this one.

0:23:480:23:51

I don't recall there being any fanfare for Ceefax.

0:23:510:23:54

The Trade Test transmissions, I remember the old days, but not a variety of music.

0:23:540:24:01

I think I'll have to go straight down the middle and go for The Open University, Jeremy.

0:24:010:24:06

You're correct. The Open University is the right answer.

0:24:060:24:10

You've played a perfect round so far, Simon.

0:24:100:24:13

And you may not have to do any more.

0:24:130:24:15

If the Eggheads get this one wrong, £22,000 is going to be yours.

0:24:150:24:18

Your question, Eggheads,

0:24:180:24:21

get this one wrong and the money goes to the bankers!

0:24:210:24:25

I know how good that'll make you feel(!)

0:24:260:24:28

Which football manager played for The Seattle Sounders

0:24:280:24:33

in the USA between 1976 and 1979?

0:24:330:24:38

Right. I know what I'm inclined to say.

0:24:430:24:46

But I can't have any guarantees on that.

0:24:460:24:48

But Harry Redknapp would...

0:24:500:24:52

I'd rule out Wenger.

0:24:520:24:55

Hmm. Yeah.

0:24:550:24:57

Now, it's a question of how long Roy Hodgson's been coaching.

0:24:570:25:00

He started quite early, didn't he?

0:25:000:25:03

He started in his mid... Redknapp was playing in the '70s.

0:25:030:25:06

And finished off, I think, at Bournemouth.

0:25:060:25:09

I think he was still playing in the 1980s.

0:25:090:25:12

So it's not beyond the realms of possibility

0:25:120:25:14

that he would go to Seattle

0:25:140:25:17

to play football. Mm.

0:25:170:25:19

And then he was certainly playing in the lower leagues with Bournemouth

0:25:190:25:24

in the early '80s. Yes.

0:25:240:25:27

So that makes sense.

0:25:270:25:28

But it's towards the break-up of the North American soccer league.

0:25:280:25:32

When did Hodgson take his first coaching post in Scandinavia?

0:25:320:25:36

I think that would be about the '80s.

0:25:360:25:38

Yeah, the '80s. But what...

0:25:380:25:41

It could be Hodgson. It could be.

0:25:410:25:43

But I would really have an inclination towards Harry Redknapp.

0:25:430:25:47

I would, too. Agreed? I'm happy with that. Take it.

0:25:470:25:50

Well, I've listened to the argument carefully

0:25:500:25:54

cos the first thing that came to my mind was Harry Redknapp.

0:25:540:25:56

But I needed facts to back it up.

0:25:560:25:58

So on that basis, I'm happy to go with it. I'd go for Harry Redknapp.

0:25:580:26:01

We're all happy with it? Go on.

0:26:010:26:03

As you've gathered, there's a fair degree of uncertainty in our answer.

0:26:030:26:07

But we're all decided that we're going to go for Harry Redknapp.

0:26:070:26:11

The person in question played 24 games for the Seattle Sounders.

0:26:110:26:17

Scored not once! It was Harry Redknapp.

0:26:170:26:20

Phew! Well done! Well done!

0:26:200:26:24

I'm sorry, Simon, about that.

0:26:240:26:26

That's annoying! You were going to be through on goal, there! Yeah.

0:26:260:26:29

Goodness gracious me! They were not certain.

0:26:290:26:33

Although well done to "tremendous knowledge Dave" for plugging away.

0:26:330:26:36

OK. We go to sudden death. Big jackpot.

0:26:360:26:39

£22,000. It's been a while since we've had one that big.

0:26:390:26:42

Gets a bit harder, as you know.

0:26:420:26:43

Simon, the version of the song Mad World by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules

0:26:430:26:49

featured on the sound track of which 2001 film?

0:26:490:26:54

I'm not sure. I'll just have to offer a complete guess.

0:26:570:27:00

Fargo.

0:27:030:27:04

It wasn't Fargo. Eggheads?

0:27:050:27:08

Donnie Darko. Donnie Darko.

0:27:080:27:10

A surreal, crazy film.

0:27:100:27:12

Although a brilliant movie.

0:27:120:27:13

So if the Eggheads get this one right, they've ended the contest.

0:27:130:27:16

"Who's on first?", was the title of a famous routine

0:27:160:27:20

by which American comedy duo?

0:27:200:27:23

ALL ANSWER IN UNISON

0:27:230:27:26

Abbott and Costello. Definitely Abbott and Costello. Yeah.

0:27:260:27:29

It's a well-known Abbott and Costello routine.

0:27:290:27:32

Do you think they're right, Simon? I'm afraid I think they're right!

0:27:320:27:35

Eggheads, the answer is Abbott and Costello.

0:27:360:27:38

You're right. Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:380:27:42

Many teams that get the three right in the final round don't have to do any more work.

0:27:480:27:52

So it's a shame they took you to sudden death

0:27:520:27:54

cos if there had been a bit more uncertainty on Harry Redknapp, who knows?

0:27:540:27:58

Yeah. Interesting.

0:27:580:27:59

Well played. I hope you enjoyed it. Had a good time?

0:27:590:28:02

We've had a great time. Thank you very much.

0:28:020:28:03

Glad you enjoyed yourself. Thank you.

0:28:030:28:05

Sorry, the Eggheads are on a great run of form.

0:28:050:28:07

Commiserations to Having a Mayor.

0:28:070:28:10

This team have done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:100:28:13

And their winning streak continues.

0:28:130:28:15

I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £22,000.

0:28:150:28:18

So the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:180:28:20

Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:200:28:24

Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:240:28:29

£23,000 says they don't!

0:28:290:28:31

Until then, goodbye!
