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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads!
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:37are the Steelmen.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This team of old school
0:00:39 > 0:00:41and university friends
0:00:41 > 0:00:47all grew up in the town of Corby, famous for its historic steelworks. So let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 24, and I'm a mechanical engineering student.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54H, I'm Matt, I'm 26 and I'm an IT business analyst.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Petey, 24, and I'm an IT technician.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Stephen, I'm 25 and I'm an automotive refinisher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Craig, I'm 24 and I'm an information performance analyst.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So, Phil and team, welcome.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Hi.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And it's Corby and Corby has steel...?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Yeah, well, we had. There's a lot of steelwork history with Corby
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and the local football team is also called the Steelmen,
0:01:19 > 0:01:23and we just thought, seeing as we all have roots in Corby, it's a fitting name for our team.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And is the steel industry still alive in Corby?
0:01:26 > 0:01:31It is, but not as much as it was... OK. ..As it used to be. In the '60s...
0:01:31 > 0:01:35A lot of people got made redundant back in the '80s from the steelworks.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36So are you quizzers?
0:01:36 > 0:01:41We are, not regularly together, because, obviously, we live quite far apart from each other.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44A few years ago we were quite a regular quiz team together.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48The Eggheads are... ignore them if they try and stare you down or anything...
0:01:48 > 0:01:53just ignore them, don't be fazed, don't be put off, don't be intimidated, they can be beaten...
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs as you know.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02If you fail to defeat the Eggheads, we roll the prize money over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Now, quite a few teams have failed to defeat them recently, which is good from your point of view.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09They've actually won the last 22 games
0:02:09 > 0:02:14which means £23,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16How's that? Good, great! That's the first bit of good news.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Now all you've got to do is take them apart! Yeah. That's the hard part!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Who would like this? OK.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29What about Stephen? Stephen? Are you happy to do geography?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I think you're the strongest for Geography. Happy with it?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Yeah, I'll give it a go. Yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37OK, Stephen, against which Egghead?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Er...I was thinking Dave.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Dave? Yeah, go on, then. Go for it, then.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Yeah, Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Stephen from the Steelmen versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50The subject is Geography,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54and to ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59So, Stephen, you're on Geography here. Yeah, yeah, certainly am.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03And have you done much travelling? Yeah, I've done quite a bit.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08I've done Australia, America, a lot of Europe.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Yeah, I've done quite a bit.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Can I ask you first whether you want the first or second set of questions?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'll go first, please.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Stephen, which of these words is another name for a coastline?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Mmm... Well, I'm sure is isn't surfboard.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Seaboard...?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I'm going towards seaboard, I think.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40It's between sandboard and seaboard.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I'm going to go seaboard.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Seaboard is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49OK, Dave, your question.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Exeter is an one extreme end of which motorway?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Exeter is at the extreme end of the M5.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Straight there, you're right. M5.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Great city, too.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09A little bit of a way from Corby, isn't it, Stephen? Yeah, quite a bit, yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Here's your question.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Oystermouth Castle is located in which village on the Gower Peninsula?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I haven't heard of that.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I don't think it's Mutterings.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'm going to go for Mumbles.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31And Mumbles is the right answer.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Difficult one to guess. Well done!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Glad you didn't fall over there.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39OK, Dave, the Joshua Tree National Park is in which state of the US?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Er, right...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm not going to go for Alabama or Idaho,
0:04:48 > 0:04:49I'm going to go for California.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And California is correct.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I guess that's where U2 got their album title.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58It must have been, I would have thought so.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Back to you, Stephen.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Which country's former name, given to it by the Portuguese
0:05:03 > 0:05:06came from the word meaning "beautiful island"?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Er...
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Definitely not Taiwan, well, I think it isn't anyway.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Sri Lanka...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I think it sounds like Malta myself.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22I'll go with Malta.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25It's actually not Malta.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Dave, do you know? I thought it was Sri Lanka.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31No, it's Taiwan. Oh, right? Didn't know. Taiwan.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Taiwan is its Chinese name.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35The Portuguese called it Formosa.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Oh, I see, OK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39So Taiwan is not the word we're talking about here? No.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42OK, Formosa... Right, fine.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Dave, your question to win the round.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49Which of these African capitals lies closest to the Prime Meridian?
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Prime Meridian?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56So it's not the Equator...
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Er...I'd have thought Nairobi was the nearest to the Equator.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I'm going to go Accra.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05In Ghana? Yeah.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07It's the right answer!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Is it the same as the Equator?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12No, no, I don't think it is.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Barry, tell us. It's 0 degrees longitude. It's the line that goes through the Greenwich Meridian.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19It goes through Algeria, Mali and then into Ghana.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23It's the up-down line, it's the vertical equivalent of the Equator? OK.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25All right. A non-technical definition.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27All right. So, Dave, well done, you've got 3 out of 3,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and I'm sorry, Stephen, you got 2 but it wasn't quite enough
0:06:30 > 0:06:34and you've been knocked out and you won't be in the final. No easy way to say it. OK, yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37But do come back to us and rejoin your teams, gentlemen.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41As it stands, the Steelmen have lost the one brain,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43the Eggheads are still intact.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45The next subject is Sport.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Is this a good one for you?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51THEY CONFER
0:06:51 > 0:06:57I'm happy, if you want to wait for TV & Film, I'm happy taking Sport on. You want to take Sport?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Yeah. I'll take Sport.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04OK, Phil the skipper is taking Sport. And which Egghead?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Who looks the least sporty?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Chris, take Chris. Chris?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I'll play Chris, please.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12OK, not suggesting for a second you look the least sporty, Chris.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15You feeling good about that? Yeah, I don't mind playing lads from Corby.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Used to be a decent enough place in the old days.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22So Phil from the Steelmen versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25And to make sure there's no conferring please go to the Question Room.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Phil, you are sporty? Yeah, ish.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I can see this is a sporty team. What do you play, mainly?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Football, mainly. That's it, really.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38And local team for you in Corby?
0:07:38 > 0:07:44No, I play for a team at university, just a group of friends, really.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48All right, here we go on Sport, and, Phil, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I think I'll go second.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Chris, your question, then. The Brian Johnston Memorial Theatre
0:07:57 > 0:08:00can be found at which famous sporting venue?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Well, Brian Johnston used to commentate on cricket,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09so it would logically be at Lord's.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Lord's is the right answer.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Over to you, Phil.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16At which university, famous for its sporting facilities,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18were Sebastian Coe and Paula Radcliffe students?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I know Loughborough's really well known for its sporting facilities,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28as my brother Matt on the team went there.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30So I'm just going to have to go for Loughborough.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Loughborough is correct.
0:08:33 > 0:08:371 each. Let's see if you can beat this Egghead on Sport.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41He's by his own account less sporty than you, Phil,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45but the knowledge in those crania is substantial!
0:08:45 > 0:08:52The first professional cycling team of which Bradley Wiggins was a member was named after whom?
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Your question, Chris. Is it...
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Ooh...
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Why would anybody name a professional cycling team after Yoko Ono?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Likewise Linda McCartney...
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Oh!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I've never heard of Olivia Harrison, so...
0:09:12 > 0:09:15presumably she was some lady cyclist back in the day,
0:09:15 > 0:09:16so I'll have to go with Olivia Harrison.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19OK, you've given them the best laugh they've had so far today,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22these Eggheads. And who is it, Eggs?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Linda McCartney. Linda McCartney is the answer.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Maybe the Eggheads can tell us why. What's going on here? It's strange.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Her vegetarian food products, the company,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34sponsored a cycling team... They sponsored a cycling team.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37..For a very short time. I think Bradley was signed to the team,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40but I'm not sure he ever actually turned a wheel in anger.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It was only in existence for a short time.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44OK, Phil, your question.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48The American Missy Franklin became famous as a leading name in which sport?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I'm really not sure.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I'm going to just go with athletics.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01No real reason...just fancy it.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Athletics is your answer, but it is wrong.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Anyone on your team know this?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I'd guess swimming. Swimming? Why do you say that?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Well, I watch quite a lot of athletics and its history,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16and I've never heard that name. I'd have punted at swimming, really.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21So a leading name in swimming, Phil. You got it wrong. Yeah.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24OK, you're equal. Chris...
0:10:24 > 0:10:29third question. Which major horse race of 2012 was won by Green Moon,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32ridden by Brett Prebble?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Unlikely to be the Melbourne Cup.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43St Leger's an English race.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Would that be too obvious?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Knowing the way the question-setters' minds work,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I'll go with the Kentucky Derby.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The Kentucky Derby is your answer.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56The answer is the Melbourne Cup. Oh, well.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00OK, you've got 1 out of 3 right. Let's see, Phil,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03if you can take advantage of this, get yourself a place in the final, knock Chris out, all in one go.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Here's your question. Good luck.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10The Dutch football club known as Vitesse is based in which city?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Er...
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'm not sure. I've heard of the team
0:11:19 > 0:11:21but where they're based, I'm not 100%.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Something's shouting out to me to say Rotterdam.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27So I think I'm going to go with that.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Rotterdam is wrong, it's Arnhem, Phil. Oh.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34We go to Sudden Death. Chris goes first because he started.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38It's a bit harder as you know, Chris, you know this well enough, I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44Nasty was the nickname of which Romanian tennis player?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Ilie Nastase.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Ilie Nastase is correct.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Sudden Death, over to you, Phil.
0:11:50 > 0:11:57Which boxer came second in the election for the Mayor of Kiev in 2006?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I'm guessing it was one of the Klitschko brothers maybe.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03The only I can think it might possibly be. Of boxers, I have no knowledge.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I can't even think of their first names. Is it Vladimir Klitschko?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Is that your answer? Yeah.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Is Vladimir one of the Klitschko brothers? Yes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Yeah, but you got the wrong one! Oh!
0:12:18 > 0:12:20How annoying! It's Vitali Klitschko!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22You're so close but not there.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Can't take it, I'm afraid. You got the wrong brother, so you've been knocked out as well, Phil.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Chris will be in the final.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Let's see if the Steelmen can turn it around.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Please, both come back to us and we'll play on.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39So you have now lost two brains from the final round. How are the Steelmen feeling?
0:12:39 > 0:12:44The steel has not turned to rubber, has it? Not yet, no. Not too deflated. It's getting there!
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Still reinforced, solid...girder!
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Yes. Yeah. OK.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52That's the way. Lots of money to play for.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Arts & Books. Is that a good one? Not one we wanted.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01It has to be. I think it's probably Matt that'll do it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06I'll do it. Matt? I'll do it. Yeah. Matt? OK. On Arts & Books, against which Egghead?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08You can have Daphne, Barry or Pat.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I'll take Barry. OK.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Sure about that? Yeah, Barry, please.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Matt from the Steelmen versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21He looks very studious today, Barry, he's got the special extra-thick glasses on.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Matt, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:29 > 0:13:30I'll go first, please.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Here's your first question, Matt. Good luck.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40How old is Holden Caulfield when he's narrating the novel The Catcher In The Rye?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I'm pretty sure it's 17.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It's a book about a teenage boy going through New York City,
0:13:49 > 0:13:50so I'll go with 17.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Bang on! You're absolutely right. Well done. 17.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55OK, Barry...
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Canaletto's painting, The Stonemason's Yard depicts a scene in which city?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Well, it's not a city that you'd associate with stonemasons,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10but Canaletto was Venetian and I believe the answer is Venice.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Venice is quite right. Amazing painter as well.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15OK, Matt...
0:14:15 > 0:14:21daughters called Kay, Hazel, Madge and Carol, and sons called Alan and Robin
0:14:21 > 0:14:26are characters in the JB Priestley play Time And The...what?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34I've not heard of that play before...
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I'm not really into plays, to be honest.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Just based on the names alone, I'm going to go with Cartwrights.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44No, it's Conways. Time And The Conways.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47So, Barry, your chance to pull into the lead.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53What is the title of Will Self's novel that was nominated for the 2012 Man Booker Prize?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Oh, this one passed me by.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I don't know this one.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Because it's Will Self I will go for Passport.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Eggheads? Umbrella.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Umbrella... Oh! ..Is the answer.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Still level, Matt, that's good. Here's your question.
0:15:11 > 0:15:17The Renoir painting which is a companion piece to his Dancing Girl With Castanets
0:15:17 > 0:15:20is known as Dancing Girl With...what?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Yeah...er... I've not heard of this one either,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28but I'm guessing if it's castanets,
0:15:28 > 0:15:32tambourine sounds more appropriate. So I'll go with tambourine, please.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Excellent logic, Matt, and you're correct.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Tambourine is right. So you've got 2 out of 3.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Let's see if Barry can follow you,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and if he can't, he's out.
0:15:40 > 0:15:47Barry, the Nobel Literature Prize winner born Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto
0:15:47 > 0:15:49was better know by what name?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Right...that sounds Spanish to me.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Octavio Paz, I believe, is Mexican.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Pablo Neruda is Chilean.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12I think Mario Vargas Llosa... is he Peruvian? Or Colombian?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13It doesn't really help.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I don't think Pablo Neruda was a real name,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19so I'm going to go for Pablo Neruda.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Pablo Neruda is...
0:16:21 > 0:16:25correct. Was that for poetry that he won or... Yes. ..novels?
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Mm-hm. Twenty Poems Of Despair, I think, was one of his major works.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Yeah, actually, funnily enough, I've got that at home.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Pablo Neruda is the right answer. Well done. You're still in there.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Sorry, Matt, you almost had him there.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39You were like Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty at the top of the cliff,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41but you didn't quite push him over.
0:16:41 > 0:16:47So we go to Sudden Death. OK. And it's a touch harder because I don't give you alternatives.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51What is the title of Kingsley Amis's first published novel?
0:16:51 > 0:16:57I only know one book by that author and it's Lucky Jim, so I'll go with that.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Brilliant. You're right! Lucky Jim.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Well done. Published in 1954.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05OK, Barry...you're on the edge.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11The Russian detective Arkady Renko first appeared in which 1981 novel?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Arkady Renko...?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I believe he may have appeared in Gorky Park.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Gorky Park is the right answer, by Martin Cruz Smith.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Back to you, Matt.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26The first of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, Casino Royale,
0:17:26 > 0:17:31was originally published in which decade of the 20th century?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I was looking at this yesterday, funnily enough...
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I'm a big fan of the Bond books, read them all now...
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Er...
0:17:38 > 0:17:43I'm pretty sure it's either late '50s or early '60s, but you're going to want one of those rather than both!
0:17:43 > 0:17:47So I'm going to go with the '50s.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I'm so glad you did. You got it right.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53OK, Barry, pressure on you now.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57The Group of Seven which included the landscape painters
0:17:57 > 0:18:04JEH MacDonald, AY Jackson and Franklin Carmichael was founded in which country in 1920?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07The Group of Seven...
0:18:07 > 0:18:11I'm not 100% certain on this, but I will go for Australia.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13You've been knocked out, Barry, it's Canada!
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Ah! My other choice! Well done!
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Very well played, Matt, in that round.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Excellent play, you're in the final! Great. You held him off and you overcame him.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24So come back to us and we'll play on.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29So as it stands the Steelmen have lost two brains from the final round
0:18:29 > 0:18:31whilst the Eggheads have lost one.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33The next subject for you is Music.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Is that good for someone? I heard a sigh.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Petey? I think I'll go for it, so as to keep Craig back for the final round. Yeah.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Yeah, definitely. I think that would be Matt if he hadn't just gone. So we'll have Petey.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Petey, OK. Against which Egghead? You can have Daphne or Pat.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54What are we thinking? I think Daphne loves music, to be honest. Do you think?
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Daphne knows her modern music, remember. Yeah.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Group decision. We'll try and take Pat on, please.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04You veered away from Daphne very wisely. OK.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Petey from the Steelmen versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15OK, so Music, Petey. Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I would like to go second, please.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Pat, here is your question.
0:19:22 > 0:19:29In the lyrics of Big Spender, the singer says she doesn't what... for every guy she sees?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It's playing in my head, Shirley Bassey singing.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I think it's "pop my cork".
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Yes, it is "pop my cork".
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Petey, your question.
0:19:47 > 0:19:54Which song, a UK number one in 1996, features the line "Strumming my pain with his fingers"?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03This is quite ironic, actually, cos I was on about this earlier.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I think it's by the Fugees, it's Killing Me Softly.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Yeah, it is.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13It is, although you only confused me,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15because I was thinking of... It's Roberta Flack who did it?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Yeah, Roberta Flack did it.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20And the Fugees, you're right. The version in '96, absolutely.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Which is a brilliant cover version, you're right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Unusually brilliant cover version.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27OK, Pat, your question.
0:20:27 > 0:20:34The Motown classic I'm Gonna Make You Love Me was a 1969 hit single for Diana Ross and the Supremes
0:20:34 > 0:20:36and which male group?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I know the song...
0:20:42 > 0:20:47The Osmonds isn't very tempting. I don't see them...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I don't see them singing that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53It could be either of the other two.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'm reduced to a guess. I'm going to go for the Foundations.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Your guess is wrong, it's the Temptations.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02How about that?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05See if you can take the lead,
0:21:05 > 0:21:06here, Petey.
0:21:06 > 0:21:13Artie Shaw, a leading bandleader of the 1930s and 1940s, was a soloist on which instrument?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I don't know this, so it's a stab in the dark.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22So I'm going to go for...
0:21:22 > 0:21:24What's sticking out for me?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I don't know, it's a guess, double bass.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Pat, do you know?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30He was a great clarinettist.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Yes, he was, clarinet is the right answer.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34So you're still level after two questions.
0:21:34 > 0:21:361 point each.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Two wrong answers.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44Pat, the singer Miranda Lambert is most associated with which genre of music?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I don't know anything about her.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Miranda Lambert...
0:21:55 > 0:21:59I haven't heard of her as an opera singer, so I'll discount opera.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02So it's jazz versus country.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I'll go for jazz, but it's another guess.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Eggs, do you know? No, they don't. Go on...
0:22:10 > 0:22:14I would have guessed country, but it's just a guess.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16You would have been right, Dave. Country is the right answer. Oh.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Which means you've got a chance here
0:22:20 > 0:22:24to book your place in the final. You're turning it around, this team! Just get this one right.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Come on, Petey!
0:22:26 > 0:22:31Jussi Bjorling, one of the 20th century's leading operatic tenors,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34was born in which country?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I don't know this. I'm just trying to memorise names
0:22:41 > 0:22:44and what they look like and associate them to countries.
0:22:44 > 0:22:50I don't know, but I'm going to take a guess at this,
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Sweden.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52If you've got this right, you are in the final
0:22:52 > 0:22:57and you've knocked out our Egghead. Otherwise we go to Sudden Death.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Let me try your team-mates. Do you think he's got it right or not?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02We haven't got a clue. We've got a Jussi we know.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05We thought maybe Finland, cos that's where he's from.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Oh, cos he's got a J? Oh, I see, he's Jussi as well. Good point.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Sweden is the right answer.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11So you're in the final. Well done.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Pat, you're out of the game.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Out of the game. And we've got a bit of a comeback going on here with the Steelmen.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20They stayed strong in their darkest hour.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Let us see what they can do to the Eggheads in the final round.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29So this is what we've been playing towards. It's time for the final round,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31which as always is General Knowledge,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:33 > 0:23:35won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39So, that's Phil and Stephen from the Steelmen,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41and Barry and Pat from the Eggheads.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Would you all please leave the studio?
0:23:45 > 0:23:52So, Matt, Petey and Craig, you are playing to win the Steelmen £23,000.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54You can do it with three questions.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Dave, Daphne and Chris, you are playing for something which money can't buy,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04This time, the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11So, Steelmen, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I want to wish you all the best. You've played really well so far.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15So, Steelmen, do you want to go first or second?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17We'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22OK, here we go. Eggheads, your first question.
0:24:22 > 0:24:28What is the nickname of the freefall display team of the Parachute Regiment?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Red Devils. Red Devils, yeah. Red Devils.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36They are the Red Devils.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Red Devils is correct
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and they have been on Eggheads before, haven't they?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Did they drop in through the sky when they...? No!
0:24:44 > 0:24:48..When they arrived in the studio? No? No. That was disappointing.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51OK, your question, Steelmen.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Take the fight to them.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57What is the name of the charity movement dating back to 2003
0:24:57 > 0:25:01that encourages men to grow facial hair for a month?
0:25:05 > 0:25:10We know this, because I'm sure Matthew had us pay one year.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I tried it one time and failed quite badly last year.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15We're going to go for Movember.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Movember is right. It's the most brilliant charity idea, isn't it?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22It's caught on so completely. Yeah, so simple as well. Yeah.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I'm glad you didn't go for Beardober!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30OK, your second question. They may get harder.
0:25:31 > 0:25:38The word vermiform refers to objects shaped like what?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Eggheads, is it...
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Worm. Worm.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Yeah, that is a worm.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It is a worm. You've got it right.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Your second question.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54The constellation Aquila is traditionally said to represent which bird?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Take your time.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I've got a feeling it's dove, but I'm not sure why.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05I was going to say eagle... I don't know.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Eagle comes up in symbolism quite a lot, doesn't it? Yeah.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14What do you think? I don't have any idea whatsoever.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I'd guess dove, but you've just kind of given a good statement
0:26:18 > 0:26:19for the eagle.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22There used to be a programme on the BBC called Aquila
0:26:22 > 0:26:25which might be something that was, like, about a spaceship,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27but I don't know if it was about any other animals.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I'm not too confident with dove, so... Yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'm actually thinking, leaning towards owl now as well.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34It sounds like quite a soft word,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36so if it was a translation for something
0:26:36 > 0:26:39it sounds like a softer bird. I think maybe go for owl.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43What do you think? I don't know why I'm leaning towards dove, but I am.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I don't know why.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I want to go with it. You want to go with dove? Yeah.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50We'll go for dove, please, Jeremy.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Your answer is dove.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Eggheads, what do you think? Eagle.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Aquiline, aquila.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Aquiline nose, I was thinking aquiline.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02What does aquiline mean? Well, a beak of a nose.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04It's that beaky nose idea.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08So the word does lead us, or led them anyway,
0:27:08 > 0:27:11to eagle, I'm afraid. Eagle is the correct answer.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Dove is wrong. So you've let them in.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15And if they get this one right, they've won the contest.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Which future king was tutored in mathematics by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's not William III. No.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29It was Charles II, wasn't it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Charles II. Yeah, Hobbes was about the right time.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It was when he was in exile.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36James I was James VI of Scotland, he was tutored in Scotland.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40So it's got to be Charles II. Yeah. So Charles II? Yeah. OK.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45That was Charles II while he was in exile.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46While he was in exile? Yeah.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49OK, didn't need that detail.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53If you've got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55The answer is Charles II,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58so we say, congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Oh! And also because you went second, then, if they do three in a row,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10then if you've got one wrong, there's no way back. Yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13And it's aquiline, eagle, and I know you know that now.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15All right, commiserations to the Steelmen.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21their winning streak continues. Really impressive now.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23It does mean you won't be going home with the £23,000.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26So the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Eggheads, congratulations!
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:31 > 0:28:36have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £24,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
