0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads. And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are the Yospreys. Now, this team all work
0:00:39 > 0:00:44for Swansea's Youth Offending Service, YOS, and each Christmas,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47they take part in an away day quiz. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 65 and I'm an ASB case manager.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Colin, I'm 59 and I'm a social worker.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Jordan, I'm 27 and I'm a project worker.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Joan, I'm 61 and I'm an admin clerk.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Mat, I'm 53 and I'm a social worker.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12- Phil and team, welcome.- Thank you. - I understand YOS, but where does the "osprey" bit of your name come from?
0:01:12 > 0:01:19The "osprey" comes from the regional rugby team that we have playing out of Swansea called the Ospreys.
0:01:19 > 0:01:25Put the "YOS" in front of it, it seemed to work fine and represent the culture in Wales for rugby.
0:01:25 > 0:01:31- And you quiz together sometimes? - Yes, we do, usually around Christmas time.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34We've done a couple of other quizzes during the year too.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- You've got a bit of a plan? - Definitely.- That's encouraging.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Every day, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Yospreys, the Eggheads have won the last 23 games.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54They're on a great run, which cuts both ways. They're in good form,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59but there's a lot of money to win. £24,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Would you like to start?- Yes. - The first head-to-head battle
0:02:03 > 0:02:05is on Arts & Books. Who wants this?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Oh, dear.- It's you, Mat.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I'm afraid that looks like me, doesn't it?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Who do you want to go for? - Mat will take this one.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Against an Egghead, they're all there waiting. - Shall we have Barry or Chris?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Have Barry.- Do you reckon?- Barry.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- OK.- Barry.- Barry.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27You've very decisively chosen Barry.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29We won't ask why.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Mat from the Yospreys against Barry from the Eggheads, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41- Arts & Books we're on. Mat, you can choose the first or second set of questions.- I'll go first, please.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Here is your first question. Good luck.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Mockingjay is the third part of which trilogy of novels?
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Oh...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Mockingjay...
0:03:01 > 0:03:06I don't think it's The Bourne Trilogy.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I'm pretty sure...
0:03:10 > 0:03:12..it's not Fifty Shades,
0:03:12 > 0:03:16although I'm not certain in any sense.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I'll go for The Hunger Games.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Good elimination. The Hunger Games may not be the obvious answer,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25but it is the right answer.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27OK, Barry...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30In Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures In Wonderland,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34who is the first character seen by Alice?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40As she goes down a rabbit hole,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I would presume it's The White Rabbit.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I guess it's been a while since you read this book to your kids.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I keep on going into it occasionally because it's a wonderful book,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52full of fascinating characters.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56The answer is correct, Barry. The White Rabbit, well done.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02OK, Mat, which member of the Royal Family was the subject of a 1989 painting by Alison Watt,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Again I'm going to have to admit not to having a great idea about this.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24I remember a painting of the Queen Mother,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26but I can't remember the artist.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I'll discount the other two and say the Queen Mother.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- The Queen Mother is the right answer.- Well done!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38You see, the Yospreys are going like a train. Well done.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Barry, in the 2004 London run of Alan Bennett's play The History Boys,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46what was the name of the character played by James Corden?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Oh, goodness me! I never saw the stage play.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58I saw the film adaptation and I can't remember the names of the characters.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01This, I'm afraid, is going to have to be a guess.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Topper just doesn't seem right,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06so I'm toying up with the other two.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I'll trust... I, too, will go down the left. I'll try Tyler.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16No, you're wrong. The answer... Let's see if we know here.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Topper?- Topper?- Oh...
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- No, it's not Topper.- Timms.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Oh, Eggheads, brilliant. Absolutely brilliant(!)
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- How do you do that? - It's a skill, isn't it?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Incredible, isn't it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Timms is the answer. You knock two of them out, that's what you get.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39This is good, Mat. It would be really good if you could knock dear old Barry out
0:05:39 > 0:05:42on what is one of his favourite subjects.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Uncle Ebenezer, who lives in the House of Shaws,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50is a character in which Robert Louis Stevenson novel?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Get this right and you're in the final.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Oh...
0:05:59 > 0:06:04This is one I should know and my mind's gone a little blank.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Oh, something's drawing me towards The Black Arrow.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11But...
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I think Kidnapped.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I'm not sure.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Kidnapped is your answer. Is he right?- We think it's Kidnapped.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- I bet Barry knows.- Bye-bye, Barry! - Bye-bye, Barry!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26CHEERING
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Well put. Kidnapped is the right answer. Well done, Mat.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35That's a very good start for the Yospreys. Nicely done.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41You've booked your place in the final. Barry has been knocked out. Come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- Good start to the Yospreys. Confidence building?- Yes.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Well done, Mat. Brilliant. So the Yospreys have not lost a brain.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Their first action in this contest has been to take out an Egghead.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59The next subject is Geography. Who would like this?
0:06:59 > 0:07:05- Shall I have a go? - I think that's you, Phil.- I'm going to do that, Jeremy.- Phil, OK.
0:07:05 > 0:07:11- Against which Egghead? Obviously, it can't be Barry.- Who should we go with?- Geography.- Geography.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Who do you think?- Chris, please. - Chris, please.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Phil from the Yospreys against Chris... Is Geography a good subject for you?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Pretty good, yeah. Engine sheds in the Swansea Valley if that comes up.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27To ensure no conferring, please go to the question room now.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34- Geography is the subject. Phil, would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Jeremy.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Here we go. Good luck. Waltham Forest is a borough on the outskirts of which city?
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Waltham Forest... It sounds like Nottingham, doesn't it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I've got a funny feeling that that's probably...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I think it's in London.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I thought you were going to go for Nottingham.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02You were like a class skier there. You slalomed suddenly.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05London is right.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Very good. OK, Chris,
0:08:08 > 0:08:13what name is given to a series of small waterfalls over steep rocks?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19A lot of those in North Wales. It's a cascade.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Cascade is the right answer.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Back to you, Phil.
0:08:24 > 0:08:32On the Beaufort scale, a wind speed of between 39 and 46 miles per hour is classified as what?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's not a breeze. It's more than that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I'm going between a gale and a hurricane.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47I think I'm going to go down the middle with a gale for this one.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Gale is correct.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I don't think your team has got a question wrong so far.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Chris, pressure on you.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Which Welsh national park stretches from Llandeilo in the west
0:09:01 > 0:09:06to Hay-on-Wye in the north-east and Pontypool in the south-east?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Hmm...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Brecon Beacons, Jeremy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Is he right, Phil?- Yeah. - Yeah, you're right.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21OK, third question.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Keep up the pressure.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27The Penghu Islands, also known as Pescadores,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31are an archipelago off the coast of where?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Oh...
0:09:36 > 0:09:41I was looking at the atlas, but I didn't really notice that.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I don't think... I haven't heard it associated with New Zealand.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Taiwan?
0:09:51 > 0:09:56I think I'm going to go with Malaysia.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Malaysia's wrong. First wrong question for the Yospreys.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- It's Taiwan.- Unlucky, Phil.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07A hard one to guess.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Chris, you get this right, you're in the final.
0:10:10 > 0:10:17The Philippines is usually divided into three island groups - Luzon, Mindanao and which other?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Oh...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I've never heard of any of those.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Luzon's the main island, Mindanao...
0:10:34 > 0:10:38And you've got islands like Negros and what have you, haven't you?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Um...
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I'll do a Judith, the magic right - Visayas.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Visayas is correct.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Oh, that's so cruel!
0:10:51 > 0:10:57That's only supposed to work for Judith. It wouldn't make sense if it worked for everyone.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Phil, I'm sorry. He's taken you on the bend there at the very end.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07You won't be in the final round. Chris will be. Please come back here and rejoin your team-mates.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14The Yospreys have lost one brain from the final round whilst the Eggheads have also lost one.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17The next subject is Food & Drink.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Who from the Yospreys wants this?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Do you want me to do that? - Yeah.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Jordan?- You're going to do it?- Yeah.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- It's going to be Jordan. - Jordan, OK. Against...?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Who do you think? - Not Barry or Chris.- Daphne?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Or Judith?- Judith?- Patrick?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Pat.- Pat, please. - We'll take Pat, please.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41I can see that you are the strategist here, Joan.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I'm the avid Egghead watcher, yes.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- You watch every one?- Yes. - If Kevin was here, you would have gone for Kevin?- Yes.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54OK, it's Jordan against Pat from the Eggheads on Food & Drink. Please go to the question room.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- You're on Food & Drink, Jordan. Would you like to go first or second?- Second, please.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09Pat, your question. What is usually served with a steak in the dish known as surf and turf?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I think surf and turf antagonises some people.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23It became very popular in the '90s and I think it's seafood.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Seafood is correct.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Your question, Jordan.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Shropshire Blue is a type of what?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Well, "cheese" stands out straight away, just with blue cheese.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I don't know if it's that obvious,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46but I'll go with my first instinct and say "cheese".
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Great stuff. It is cheese, yes.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53It's Jordan against Pat on Food & Drink. Crucial point in the contest.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Pat, in Spanish cuisine, a dish described as "al horno"
0:12:58 > 0:13:00will most likely have been cooked how?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Al horno.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12I think it sounds similar to the Italian, "lasagne al forno".
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I think it refers to an oven.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I think it's been cooked in an oven.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I was sure you would get that wrong.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22In an oven is the right answer.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24OK, keep it up, Jordan.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27It's always difficult going second.
0:13:27 > 0:13:34Which of these foodstuffs was the last to have its World War Two rationing lifted in the UK?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I'd say bread is a bit too obvious
0:13:42 > 0:13:46because I would have thought there was a lot of ingredients around
0:13:46 > 0:13:49for stuff like that. Milk, um...
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I'm not 100% sure, but I'm going to go down...
0:13:56 > 0:13:59..to the right for "meat", please.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- And you're right.- Well done, Jordan.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06The logic, I guess... Help us here.
0:14:06 > 0:14:13- That's the right logic that it was the least available thing?- A lot of it was imported in those days.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18You hadn't the shipping tonnage to import it or the foreign exchange to pay for it, so it was on ration.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24Third question to you, Pat. What type of food is referred to in Ireland as a "one and one"?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I've never heard of this. Never heard of it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35A one and one...
0:14:35 > 0:14:38"One and one" sounds like almost a colloquial term.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41You do buy fish and chips in a takeaway,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44so people might come in and ask for a one and one.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47It sounds almost that sort of a phrase.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50You don't buy trifle late at night like that.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Maybe that's a gap in the market.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Cheese and onion sandwich is a bit obscure.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58It's just a cheese and onion sandwich.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02In a chippy, you could ask for a one and one, meaning fish and chips.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05It's just a guess. I've never heard the phrase.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Your antecedents are from Ireland. I assumed you'd be straight there.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13But whoever is saying "one and one" are not saying it in your presence.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18But fish and chips is the right answer. Well done.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23OK, he's got three out of three which doesn't help you. Keep it up.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Monastrell and Mataro are alternative names for which wine grape?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I'm not much of a wine guy, personally. I've heard of Merlot.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Is it going to be the obvious one?
0:15:42 > 0:15:47I'm just going to have to go with the one I know and that's Merlot.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- I'm afraid you've been knocked out. It's Mourvedre.- Unlucky, Jordan.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Not a well-known type of wine.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Anyone? Who's good on their wines here, Eggs?
0:15:58 > 0:16:03No? They would have drawn a blank as well, Jordan. Tough question.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Pat, you're in the final round. Please come back to us here and we'll play on.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14- Oh, Phil, we started so strongly and then...- Never mind. We're going to save the best till last.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19- We hit a dip, but that's OK. Just pace yourselves. Come through strong in the final round.- Yes.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22OK, one more round before the final.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27The Yospreys have lost two and the Eggheads have just lost one, Barry at the beginning.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- The next subject is Sport. - Oh, no!- No?
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- I thought this would be great for you.- I've got to take it.- I see. OK.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40- How did that happen? - Do you want me to take it? - Do you think we should send Colin?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43We need you for the end, Colin.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I'll take one for the team and I'll do Sport.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Joan's going to do Sport.
0:16:49 > 0:16:56- Joan is going to do Sport because you don't want to lose Colin?- No, we don't.- She is in charge of tactics.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Against which Egghead? Who looks like they're wobbly on the sports field?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Judith.- Judith.- Yes.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08We put a lot of thought into that decision.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Joan from the Yospreys versus Judith from the Eggheads, the two Js, on Sport.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Joan, choose the first or second set of questions.- I'll go first.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30In which decade did Mike Gatting make his final Test appearance for the England cricket team?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Oh, dear.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Mike Gatting...
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I'd say the 1990s.
0:17:44 > 0:17:461990s is the right answer.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Judith, your question.
0:17:51 > 0:17:59The Copa Libertadores is a football competition predominantly between teams on which continent?
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Well, the language tells me it is South America.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11I will take that as a compliment to my pronunciation.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13South America is the right answer.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15One each.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Joan, which country dominated the athletics events
0:18:19 > 0:18:22at the 1976 Olympic Games with 11 gold medals in total?
0:18:27 > 0:18:31I'm torn between East Germany and the Soviet Union.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Taking into account the gymnastics, I'll go for the Soviet Union.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41- What do your team think?- I think it's right.- Colin thinks it's right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46You're both wrong. It's East Germany. East Germany is the answer.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48All those strapping athletes.
0:18:48 > 0:18:54Judith, your question. In which sport might one execute a tsukahara?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Can you spell "tsukahara"?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04T-S-U-K-A-H-A-R-A.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07T-S-U-K-A-H-A-R-A.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Tsukahara - it sounds sort of Japanesey.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14So I don't think it's gymnastics.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I'm not sure there are many moves in table tennis.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24You just bat it backwards and forwards, don't you?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28I think I'm going to go for weightlifting.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Weightlifting is your answer?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I hope it's Japanese weightlifters.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37When you said "Japanese", I was thinking your next thing would be,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41"It must be gymnastics," because it's a sport at which Japan excels.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- They're also good at weightlifting. - They're good at weightlifting?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Sumo... Oh, no, sumo wrestlers! Bother!
0:19:49 > 0:19:53OK, now we see what I was discussing earlier.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I was thinking of sumo wrestlers.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Oh, can I start again?- No, you can't.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- The whole of your life or just this round?- Yes, the whole of my life!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- The answer is gymnastics.- Oh!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Joan, that's good, isn't it? - That's good.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14If you just get this one right, you can put the pressure on and we're on thin ice over there!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Which jockey won the Grand National twice,
0:20:17 > 0:20:24first in 1955 on Quare Times and then in 1970 on Gay Trip?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I've never heard of any of them.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33So it's going to be a guess.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I'm going to go for Pat Taaffe.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42It's worked for you. Pat Taaffe is the right answer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Well done.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48OK, so, Judith, you're under a spot of pressure here.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51You need to get this one right or you've been knocked out.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57We're looking at a historic three back-to-back victories on Sport for you if you pull off this round.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01In the Asian game of sepak takraw,
0:21:01 > 0:21:06which parts of the body are not allowed to come into contact with the ball?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I think I know the game, actually.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16God, how do you play it?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I think I've seen it in India or something.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I think it might be arms and hands.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I think you do the whole thing with feet.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Arms and hands is correct. - Oh, golly!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So it's two each. Sorry, Joan.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38We go to Sudden Death and it gets harder because I don't give you alternative answers.
0:21:38 > 0:21:45Here is your question. Which Grand Slam tennis tournament did Bill Tilden win six times in succession
0:21:45 > 0:21:48between 1920 and 1925?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52The only one I can think of is the US Open.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- The US Open is correct.- Oh, yes!
0:21:57 > 0:22:03- How important might that answer be! - I think she's a dark horse. She knows all about sport.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07She's not made many mistakes. Yes, she's hidden her sporting knowledge very well.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Perhaps the same could be said of you, Judith.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Here's your question. Get this wrong and you're not in the final round.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19In which country was the snooker player James Wattana born?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Wattana, snooker players...
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I really don't know.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32There are Canadian ones and...
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Well, let's try Canada.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You'd won two sporting rounds in a row.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- But not a third?- Not a third. It's Thailand.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44How about that?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Brilliant strategic play.
0:22:47 > 0:22:54- Joan in charge of the strategy, made the right move, squeaked through on Sport. Well done.- Thank you.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59You'll be in the final. Come back to us, both of you, and we'll play that final round.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06So this is what we've been playing towards - the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:08 > 0:23:13won't be allowed to take part in this round, so Phil and Jordan from the Yospreys
0:23:13 > 0:23:17and Barry and Judith from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:23:18 > 0:23:25So, Colin, Joan and Mat, you are playing to win the Yospreys £24,000.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Daphne, Chris and Pat, you are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time, they are all General Knowledge.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38You are allowed to confer. Yospreys, the question is,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43can your three brains defeat the three brains that we see over here?
0:23:43 > 0:23:48- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Jeremy.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Here's your question. Good luck to you all.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58In the Roman Catholic Church, a novena is a series of prayers or services
0:23:58 > 0:24:01that extends over how many days?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Nine.- "Novem" is Latin for "nine". - Is it?- So it's nine days.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- I would say nine on the basis of that.- Yes.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15On the basis that we think "novem" is the number nine,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17we're going for nine days.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22- Nine is spot-on.- Well done, Mat. - Nine is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Eggheads, your first question.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27What does an apiologist study?
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- Well, bees live in an apiary, so that's bees.- Yeah.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37That's bees.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Bees is correct. Here's your second question to you, Yospreys.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Keep it up. Warmblood and coldblood are groups of which creature?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I thought I knew the answer, but I don't now.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Warmblood and coldblood...
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Horse... I think it's horse, isn't it?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Warmblood and coldblood are types of which creature?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Sheep, horse and cat.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- What do you think? - Well, they're all...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I thought the question was going to be about reptiles.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12It's completely thrown me.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14They're all mammals.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Yes.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19So it mustn't be anything to do with that.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Coldblooded horse, coldblooded sheep or coldblooded cat.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I don't think it's cat, do you?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28A coldblooded sheep or a coldblooded horse?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- I haven't got a clue. - I think it's horse.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- I have no idea, but I don't think it's horse.- Oh, dear.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It's probably sheep.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41LAUGHTER Come on, we have to make a decision.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Shall we do the famous "let's go down the middle" cos we don't know?
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- No.- Well, he's going for cat anyway. - Go on then. Go for you.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51It'll be my fault then.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53We really don't know
0:25:53 > 0:25:57and we've decided to go down the middle with "cat".
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- OK...- It's wrong.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06- You ignored the lady who pulled off...- Joan, I'm sorry!
0:26:06 > 0:26:10..an amazing victory on Sport. Her instincts are incredible.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Horse is the answer.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Never mind.- Never mind. - You can still win.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22OK, Eggheads, the People's Daily is a large circulation newspaper in which country?
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- It's China.- The Communist Party paper in China.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- That's China. - China is the right answer.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37You need this one, guys, otherwise the contest is over.
0:26:37 > 0:26:45The Greek mathematician Euclid reputedly warned that there is no royal road to geometry
0:26:45 > 0:26:51when which historical figure asked if there was an easier way to learn the subject?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Right, Mark Antony is Roman.- Yeah.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Ptolemy is Egyptian.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Ptolemy took over Egypt after Alexander the Great,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07so it's Alexander the Great.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10We reckon it's Alexander the Great
0:27:10 > 0:27:13because Mark Antony was Roman
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and Ptolemy was the Egyptian king
0:27:16 > 0:27:20that took over Egypt after Alexander died.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- That's our logic.- So your answer is Alexander the Great?- Yes.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29No, the logic is right maybe, but the answer is wrong.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Ptolemy? - Ptolemy is the answer.- Sorry.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Ptolemy is the answer. Congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You have won.
0:27:42 > 0:27:48Commiserations on the final result, Yospreys. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:48 > 0:27:54and 20 or more teams have gone before you in sequence and lost, so there's no shame in losing.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59You won't be going home with the £24,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04They're getting more exciting. Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13£25,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
