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.

0:00:17 > 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on our awesome quiz champions today...

0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team are all friends from Sheffield

0:00:40 > 0:00:45and four of them are active members of the student-run charity Bummit. Let's meet them.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Iain. I'm 24 and I work in application management support.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hi. I'm Waleed, I'm 21 and I'm a post-graduate science communication student.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Heather, I'm 21 and I study chemistry.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi. I'm Adam, I'm 22 and I'm a bio-medical science student.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm Rich, I'm 24 and I'm an earth sciences student.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So, Iain and team, welcome to you. - Hi, there.- Hi.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Tell us about Bummit. Brilliant name, by the way.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Am I pronouncing it right?- Yeah. - It's not "Boomit", or anything?

0:01:14 > 0:01:19- No.- It's properly Bummit?- It's a pun on "It's a bummer."

0:01:19 > 0:01:22- To bum it.- Yeah.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23We're the world's largest,

0:01:23 > 0:01:28supposedly, the world's largest student-run hitchhiking organisation.

0:01:28 > 0:01:33So as well as doing other things, you're raising money via Bummit.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Last year, we raised £87,000. - Tremendous!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Tremendous. And you met at the same university?

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Yeah.- OK. Do you quiz together at all?

0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Few and far between! - Few and far between. OK.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49Good luck, guys. All the best against these extraordinary quizzers here.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51But you never know what moods you'll find them in.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53If they're feeling weak, you can take them.

0:01:53 > 0:01:58Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06So, Techno Prisoners, the Eggheads have won the last 26 games,

0:02:06 > 0:02:09which means the jackpot is...

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Would you like to have a go at winning it?- Hopefully.- Yes, please.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of sport.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Which Techno Prisoner would like this?

0:02:20 > 0:02:21It's either you or Iain, isn't it?

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Yeah.- I'll take it.- Yes?

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- We think Rich would be our best candidate for that.- Rich on Sport.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Against? Who looks poor compared to Rich?

0:02:30 > 0:02:34I'm torn between taking someone decent in now...

0:02:36 > 0:02:37They're all incredible!

0:02:37 > 0:02:40On Sport, I'm going to take Kevin in.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK. That's an interesting strategy.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46So Rich from Techno Prisoners against Kevin from the Eggheads on Sport.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50To make sure there's no conferring, would you go to the question room?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Rich, are you looking forward to this, Sport?

0:02:54 > 0:02:58A little bit. It could go either way, so we'll see.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02You're obviously doing a bit of tactics here. Do you watch the programme?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04A little bit too much, I think, yes.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Is it addictive when you watch it from the outside?

0:03:07 > 0:03:13It definitely can be. When you're rushing home to watch it, I think you probably need to slow down!

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Don't slow down. Keep rushing. We like that.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19So, Sport. Rich, would you like to go first or second?

0:03:19 > 0:03:21I would like to go second, please.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Kevin, your question, then.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29In motor racing, which phrase is used to describe air

0:03:29 > 0:03:33which has not been affected by turbulence from other cars?

0:03:36 > 0:03:43I'm not a great Formula One fan in terms of watching it very much.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48I'm sure this is probably the sort of phrase that's used on the broadcasts.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50But it's not one I've come across.

0:03:50 > 0:03:55Well, the logical one there, I suppose, is clean air,

0:03:55 > 0:03:56so I'll try that.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Clean air is right.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Ooh, that was exciting, Rich.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03I thought you were going to tip him up at the first moment.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yeah. Wish I'd gone first, now!

0:04:05 > 0:04:09Well, let's see. You almost got Kevin with that question.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13How many times did Martina Hingis win the Wimbledon Ladies' Singles title?

0:04:16 > 0:04:21Martina Hingis was a big name in women's tennis.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25I'd say it's more than one. Seven times champion,

0:04:25 > 0:04:29I think numbers like that have only been drawn towards the Williams sisters.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31So I'm more inclined to go with four.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Kevin, do you know? - I think it's just once.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39It is just the once, Rich.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41So you got it wrong. Just the once.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Kevin, your question.

0:04:43 > 0:04:49In 2006, Charlotte Edwards became the official England women's team captain in which sport?

0:04:52 > 0:04:59Yes, I think she finally called it a day around the beginning of 2013

0:04:59 > 0:05:02after the last World Cup.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04And it's cricket.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Cricket is correct.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Rich, your question.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12The Cibi is a war dance

0:05:12 > 0:05:17performed by which country's rugby team before the start of a match?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23By the way, that's spelt C-I-B-I.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Cibi.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Right.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30Um, I know people will be fine with the...

0:05:30 > 0:05:35The only countries I associate dances before a sporting event with

0:05:35 > 0:05:37tend to be the Pacific islands.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40But for some reason I'm torn between Fiji and Argentina,

0:05:40 > 0:05:45but I'm going to go with Fiji because of the Pacific island connection.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Excellent answer. Fiji is correct. Well done.

0:05:47 > 0:05:48Woo!

0:05:48 > 0:05:53So you have a point. You need Kevin to slip up here or he's got three in a row and he's in the final.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57Kevin, your question. At the first Winter Olympics in 1924,

0:05:57 > 0:06:00in which sport did Great Britain win their only gold medal?

0:06:04 > 0:06:08I don't think - I may be wrong -

0:06:08 > 0:06:13but I don't think either of the others were in the Winter Olympics at that stage,

0:06:13 > 0:06:16so I'm going to go for curling.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20You think luge and speed skating were not...

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Came later. I'm not so certain about luge.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25I'm pretty sure speed skating was a later addition.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27You said curling. The answer is curling.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Kevin, you've taken the round. Rich, I'm sorry. You're knocked out.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33But it's still early days for your team.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Come back to us. We'll play on.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Techno Prisoners have lost a brain from the final round.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45But don't worry. There's much that can be done, and it's a gigantic jackpot.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49The next subject is Arts & Books. Who would like this?

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Fresh from university - perfect subject!

0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'll take it.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- OK. Heather.- Yep.- And which Egghead do you fancy taking on here?

0:06:57 > 0:07:02I think the stronger one is probably Judith. Dave, Judith.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- I'd probably go with Dave. - I'll take Dave on, please.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09Heather, from Techno Prisoners, versus Dave from the Eggheads.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12See the disappointment in Daphne's face? She loves to play!

0:07:12 > 0:07:16She loves to play. She smiles, like the Lorelei,

0:07:16 > 0:07:20- we were saying.- Yes.- The sirens who lured sailors to their death!

0:07:20 > 0:07:22So you've done well to avoid her.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Heather, tell us more about Bummit,

0:07:29 > 0:07:32the charity that brought you together. It's hitchhiking, right?

0:07:32 > 0:07:37Yep. Last year, we hitchhiked from Sheffield to Sofia in Bulgaria.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40We had just about eight days to do that.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43It was 400 students.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46You get sponsorship for that and where does the money go at the end?

0:07:46 > 0:07:49It goes to a variety of charities.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Some internationally, and some Sheffield-based.

0:07:53 > 0:07:59But it covers children and women's shelters and homeless shelters.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02So it covers a wide range of different charities.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Tremendous. Good luck in this round. Arts & Books, Heather.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09- You can choose whether you want to go first or second.- Can I go first, please?

0:08:12 > 0:08:17Here is your question. Filius Flitwick is the head of which house at Hogwarts

0:08:17 > 0:08:21in the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling?

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Well, I'm a big Harry Potter fan, so this is quite apt.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34I know that Slytherin's head of house is Professor Snape

0:08:34 > 0:08:36and Gryffindor is Professor McGonagall,

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- so the answer is Ravenclaw. - Ravenclaw is the right answer. Well done, Heather.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48Your question, Dave. In which decade was the novel Nicholas Nickleby first published?

0:08:53 > 0:08:58Well, it's written by Charles Dickens, so it's 1812 to 1870.

0:08:58 > 0:09:03That's the timescale he had to do that. So I presume it's the 1830s.

0:09:03 > 0:09:061830s is the right answer, Dave. Well done.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Back to you, Heather. Second question.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12The 2012 novel Standing in Another Man's Grave

0:09:12 > 0:09:15saw the reappearance of which fictional detective

0:09:15 > 0:09:16after five years?

0:09:21 > 0:09:26OK. I'm completely stumped on this one.

0:09:26 > 0:09:31I'm going to have a stab in the dark and go for Charlie Resnick.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Let's see. Eggheads, do you know? Daphne, you'll know this.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37I'm afraid it's John Rebus.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Your favourite detective, isn't it?

0:09:38 > 0:09:43- Daphne's favourite tec, John Rebus, Heather, is the answer.- OK.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45OK, Dave,

0:09:45 > 0:09:50what nationality were the artists Pieter de Hooch and Aelbert Cuyp?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56They're Dutch artists.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Brilliant, Dave. Well done.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Heather, your question now.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05You need to get this one right to stay in. Get it wrong, you're out.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09Miss Lala at the Cirque Fernando,

0:10:09 > 0:10:12depicting a Parisian acrobat

0:10:12 > 0:10:16is an 1879 painting by which artist?

0:10:19 > 0:10:23OK. I'm going to go for Renoir.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26It's actually Degas.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30- OK.- It is Degas. Sorry, you've got two wrong and there's no way back.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32So "Tremendous Knowledge Dave" is in the final.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34You've having a good run, Dave.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Well, all good runs will come to an end, but I'm enjoying it at the moment!

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Not today. You've done well. Heather, sorry, you've been knocked out.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates.

0:10:44 > 0:10:49- So, Techno Prisoners, you've lost a couple.- Unfortunately, yes.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Rich is your main tactician. Rich, what's going wrong?

0:10:52 > 0:10:54I haven't a clue!

0:10:54 > 0:10:55That might be the problem!

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Not answering questions.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01There's loads of time to turn it round. We've seen teams win with only one.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04So have a crack at the next subject,

0:11:04 > 0:11:06which I think should be up your street. Science.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Who is the scientist?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- You've got one at least.- We've got three!- Three scientists!

0:11:12 > 0:11:15But that will be me, I think,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17if everyone agrees.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21OK, Adam on Science against Judith, Pat or Daphne?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Which one?

0:11:23 > 0:11:28- Rich is saying Judith.- Rich is saying Judith.- You don't have to take my answer or word of it.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- But I think I agree.- OK.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Can I go head-to-head with Judith, please?- Yes, by all means.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37So Adam from Techno Prisoners versus Judith from the Eggheads on Science.

0:11:37 > 0:11:42Let's see what happens. To ensure no conferring, can you go to the question room?

0:11:43 > 0:11:47Science is the subject. Adam, you can choose to go first or second.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Your first question. Ferrum is the Latin name for which metal?

0:11:59 > 0:12:03I know for certain that this is iron.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06So I won't use any logic. It's iron.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Spot on. Iron is correct. Well done.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Judith,

0:12:11 > 0:12:16what do the human body's lachrymal glands principally produce?

0:12:19 > 0:12:23If I don't win this round, I will produce tears.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Your lachrymal glands will be working, you think?

0:12:26 > 0:12:28They will stop functioning.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30OK. That's better than saliva, I suppose!

0:12:30 > 0:12:31I'll spit!

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Yes, it's the right answer.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Sort of a relief, really!

0:12:38 > 0:12:42Adam, your question. See if you can pull clear of the Egghead.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44What type of sub-atomic particle

0:12:44 > 0:12:48is named after a 20th-century Indian physicist?

0:12:53 > 0:13:00I think that Bosons and Mesons are more wild particles

0:13:00 > 0:13:06that have been discovered more recently than the 20th century.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07I think Fermion is...

0:13:09 > 0:13:13I think... I think I'll go for Fermion.

0:13:13 > 0:13:14Sorry, you're wrong with Fermion.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Boson it was.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Judith, your question to pull ahead.

0:13:18 > 0:13:23In certain creatures, the Jacobson's organ is used for what?

0:13:28 > 0:13:32I think that's the thing that cats have.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Their sort of sixth sense in the roof of their mouths.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37And it's for smelling.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39And when they do it, they open their mouths a little bit,

0:13:39 > 0:13:43just like that, and they're smelling.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45They are smelling. You are right.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Smelling it is. The Jacobson's organ. OK.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51I hope you can't smell defeat here, Adam!

0:13:51 > 0:13:55You need to get this one right. Here's your question.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59What type of creature, Adam, is a smooth hound?

0:14:03 > 0:14:07The first thing I thought was a dog, and obviously that is not there!

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Animals are definitely not my strong point.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Smooth hound.

0:14:14 > 0:14:20It sounds a sort of violent name rather than anything associated with a stoat.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22So that leaves me with shark and spider.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Though logic might be lacking.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28I think I'll punt for shark.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32- But I'm not sure.- Shark is the right answer. Well done.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38It's feeling better now. Judith, if you get this wrong, we go to sudden death.

0:14:38 > 0:14:43Carl Keenan Seyfert, the American astronomer,

0:14:43 > 0:14:46was best known for his work on what?

0:14:51 > 0:14:54S-E-I-F-E-R-T. Seifert. Is that...

0:14:54 > 0:14:57S-E-Y-F-E-R-T. Seyfert.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59S-E-Y... Seyfert.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03I don't know. I don't know.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05I don't know.

0:15:05 > 0:15:11Let's say there's a lot of interest in meteorites and meteors at the moment,

0:15:11 > 0:15:14so I'm going to say meteorites.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Meteorites is your answer. - It's a guess.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19- OK. The answer is galaxies. - Oh, how annoying!

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Magic right, again.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25- I should have gone...- Your thing of going down the right would have served you well.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27So it's tied. See, Adam?

0:15:27 > 0:15:29- That's it. You're back in. - All I needed, a bit of luck.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Exactly. Gets a tiny bit harder now, for Judith as well,

0:15:32 > 0:15:36cos we go to sudden death and I do not give you alterative answers. Ready?

0:15:36 > 0:15:40- I'm ready.- Which word, from the Greek meaning "many bases"

0:15:40 > 0:15:45refers to a three-dimensional geometric solid?

0:15:46 > 0:15:48I haven't got a clue.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Many bases. I assume it has something which can...

0:15:55 > 0:15:58..sit on the floor with many surfaces.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02So it must be a multi-surfaced sort of shape.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05I'm trying to think of any Greek word that I could possibly say, really.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Many bases.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13I'll just plump for a high-numbered shape

0:16:13 > 0:16:19and go for something like hexagonous, or... Hexagonous.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Hexagonous?- Yeah, complete guess, but sounds a bit Greek!

0:16:23 > 0:16:25I know it's going to be wrong.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Hexagonous. Do you know, Judith?

0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Polygon?- Not quite. Polyhedron.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Judith, your question. Get this right, you're in the final round.

0:16:33 > 0:16:38The enzyme renin is secreted by which organs of the body?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Kidneys.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Kidneys is the right answer. You've beaten Adam on sudden death.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Sorry, Adam, you've been knocked out. You knew that?

0:16:47 > 0:16:50I knew it straight away! That is my speciality!

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Biologist.- I've studied it so recently. That'll annoy me.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57That is painful. That comes with going first, I guess.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Judith, you're in the final. Adam, you're not.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Please both return to your teams.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07So, tricky times for the Techno Prisoners here.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Sorry, Adam. It's science, the broadness of it.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Yeah, it got the better of me.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15We've had scientists beaten. Judith, you once beat...

0:17:15 > 0:17:20- A rocket scientist!- A rocket scientist in science!- You did well.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23As it stands, the Techno Prisoners have lost three brains from the final round.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26The Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28The next subject is Music.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Which Techno Prisoner would like to break out with Music?

0:17:31 > 0:17:33I think I'll be taking that on, Jeremy.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35OK, Waleed, against whom?

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I think I'll go with Pat.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Yeah, cos Daphne loves her arts. So, yeah.

0:17:40 > 0:17:45I think I know a bit about musical theatre, but she'd blow me out of the water!

0:17:45 > 0:17:48I think we're going to go with Pat.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50I love that you watch the show! It's great.

0:17:50 > 0:17:56So Waleed from Techno Prisoners versus Pat from the Eggheads on Music.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Just to ensure no conferring, please go to the question room.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Waleed, what is your degree in?

0:18:03 > 0:18:06I've just graduated from chemistry.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08And, I gather, science communications?

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Yeah, I'd just love to be on TV, to be honest!

0:18:11 > 0:18:17Doing documentaries, working with kids, just generally science!

0:18:17 > 0:18:20And that's all about trying to tell people that science is more interesting

0:18:20 > 0:18:22than sometimes the people in lab coats make it sound!

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Definitely. Science is incredible,

0:18:25 > 0:18:28and I feel everyone should be able to experience it the same way I have.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32So we're on music here, and I know you have a fascination with musical theatre

0:18:32 > 0:18:35- which is Daphne's thing.- Yeah.

0:18:35 > 0:18:40I've always enjoyed performing in life and it's really fun being on stage

0:18:40 > 0:18:44and I was recently in Guys and Dolls, and that was absolutely incredible.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47So I hope musicals come up for you here.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Let's see. Again, like science, music is so broad.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53But we can ask you whether you want to go first or second.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54Can I go second, please?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Pat, here we go. Which song has the opening lyrics

0:19:00 > 0:19:03"All the old paintings on the tombs

0:19:03 > 0:19:06"They do the sand dance, don't you know?"

0:19:11 > 0:19:15I think I can hear Susanna Hoffs singing it.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19I think it's the intro to Walk Like an Egyptian, by the Bangles.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Clue in the words, I guess.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24Walk Like an Egyptian is the right answer. Well done.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Waleed, over to you.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28The brothers Mike and Noel Hogan

0:19:28 > 0:19:31were founder members of which Irish band?

0:19:33 > 0:19:36I don't think it's Westlife

0:19:36 > 0:19:41because I know a few of the names and those names don't come up.

0:19:41 > 0:19:42And neither with Boyzone.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Going right back to my youth, but that's quite hazy.

0:19:45 > 0:19:50And so I'm going to have to go with The Cranberries.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53The Cranberries is correct. Nice one.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Off the blocks.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57See if Waleed can get into the final here.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Pat, the classical pianist Glenn Gould

0:20:00 > 0:20:04could often be heard doing what on his recordings?

0:20:07 > 0:20:10He was very unusual

0:20:10 > 0:20:14in that he gave up concert performance very early in his career.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16He was very keen on recording.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18He recorded huge amounts of piano repertoire.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20And he would hum along

0:20:20 > 0:20:22while he was playing things like Bach.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27So he tended to hum. It annoys some people when they listen to his recordings.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30I can see why that would be annoying.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Humming is the right answer.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33Waleed, your question.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37Cecil Bustamente Campbell

0:20:37 > 0:20:38better known as Prince Buster,

0:20:38 > 0:20:42is most associated with which style of music?

0:20:45 > 0:20:49Well, I have absolutely no idea what ska is.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Prince Buster?

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Prince Buster.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59Prince seems quite confident.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Calypso is quite a confident dance, so I'll go with calypso.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08See if your team-mates know.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11We were taking a point on calypso, just from the name.

0:21:11 > 0:21:18Yeah, this kind of music came into the charts early '80s with bands like Madness.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22It is Ska. And I think they had a song called Prince Buster,

0:21:22 > 0:21:24- did they, Madness? Yes, they did. - Yeah.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Paying tribute to him.

0:21:26 > 0:21:31So ska is the right answer, Waleed. OK. Your question, Pat.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34If you get this one right, you've got three and you'll be in the final round.

0:21:34 > 0:21:39Which composer spent the last two years of his life in an asylum,

0:21:39 > 0:21:43following an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 1854?

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Quite a few composers have ended their days in "custody".

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Well, of those three,

0:21:54 > 0:21:56it's the unfortunate Robert Schumann

0:21:56 > 0:21:58who threw himself into the Rhine.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Robert Schumann.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Robert Schumann is correct.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04So Pat, you are in the final round.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08Sorry, Waleed, you've been knocked out. No way back, cos you took the second question.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11So, if you return to us, we will play that final round.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16This is what we've been playing towards, the final round,

0:22:16 > 0:22:18which, as always, is general knowledge.

0:22:18 > 0:22:23I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-head won't take part in this round.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27So Waleed, Heather, Adam and Richard from Techno Prisoners

0:22:27 > 0:22:30would you please leave the studio?

0:22:31 > 0:22:36OK, Iain, you are playing to win the Techno Prisoners £27,000.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Pat, Judith, Kevin, Dave, Daphne,

0:22:39 > 0:22:41you're playing for something that money can't buy,

0:22:41 > 0:22:43which is the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49This time, the questions are all general knowledge.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51You are allowed to confer.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53I know that doesn't help you much, Iain!

0:22:53 > 0:22:59The question for you is, can you overwhelm these five with your one brain there?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Would you like to go first or second?

0:23:01 > 0:23:03I'll go first.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Best of luck to you. Take your time.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10And focus.

0:23:10 > 0:23:15Which comedian married the presenter Victoria Coren in 2012?

0:23:21 > 0:23:23I do really recognise that name.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30I think Bob Mortimer's been married a couple of times.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36I do believe David Mitchell might have got married recently.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38I do recognise that name.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40So I'll go with David Mitchell.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Really glad you did. It's David Mitchell. Well done.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Iain, good stuff!

0:23:45 > 0:23:47OK, Eggheads.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49What name is given to the Sunday before Advent

0:23:49 > 0:23:51when, traditionally,

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Christmas puddings are made?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59ALL: Stir Up Sunday.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02It's the first Sunday of Advent.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03Stir Up Sunday.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Yes.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Yep.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09That is Stir Up Sunday.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Stir Up Sunday is the right answer.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Iain, your question.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17Don't be put off by them. They look confident, but they're not at heart.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20It's why they became quizzers. They're all insecure!

0:24:20 > 0:24:25Which computer typeface is named after the Native American name

0:24:25 > 0:24:27for Mount Rainier?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34I should know this, being a computer scientist!

0:24:36 > 0:24:39I think Verdana is very Italian.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Tahoma does sound very Native American.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46So I'm going to go with Tahoma.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50I love the way you play! Just sort of amble up to the answer there!

0:24:50 > 0:24:52In the most relaxed manner, you've got it right again.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Tahoma it is.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58With £27,000 to play for, this is getting interesting!

0:24:58 > 0:25:02Eggheads, let's see if we can trip you up with this one.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05The aerospace company Embraer

0:25:05 > 0:25:08has its headquarters in which country?

0:25:11 > 0:25:13I'll spell it for you.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16E-M-B-R-A-E-R. Embraer.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19- It's Brazil.- Brazil.- Brazil.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23It's Brazil.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27You said Brazil. You used to work for the government, Kevin.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29- I was a civil servant for... - Which department?

0:25:29 > 0:25:33A couple of different... I was in Ministry of Defence.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38And then later on in what became Culture, Media and Sport.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40He was a spy!

0:25:41 > 0:25:42You've told them now!

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Brazil is the right answer.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47OK. You're playing really well.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50It's unfortunate they got two right.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52But take your time. You're playing well.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57The Battle of Sluis was part of which larger conflict?

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Sluis is spelt S-L-U-I-S.

0:26:09 > 0:26:15I'd like to say the spelling helped me, but I don't think it did!

0:26:17 > 0:26:18The Boer War would be Africa.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Hundred Years War was French.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24War of the Spanish Succession, that's Spanish.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26I haven't heard of it.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'm going to go with the Second Boer War,

0:26:32 > 0:26:34but I don't really know why.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37- OK. That's your answer. Second Boer War.- Yeah.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Eggheads, any answers?

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- ALL: Hundred Years War. - You all know that one.

0:26:41 > 0:26:42Yeah, it is the Hundred Years War.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45We've got two out of three, which is not bad.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Eggheads, your question.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49If you get this right, the contest is over.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Which English actress was Oscar-nominated

0:26:52 > 0:26:56for her performances in the films Sweet and Lowdown,

0:26:56 > 0:26:58and In America?

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Samantha Morton.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08It's Samantha Morton.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Sure about that?- Mm!

0:27:11 > 0:27:15Samantha Morton is your answer. If it's right, the contest is over.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19After three questions, you have three out of three

0:27:19 > 0:27:22and we say, "Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won."

0:27:27 > 0:27:31- You played with great confidence on your own, Iain.- Thank you very much.

0:27:31 > 0:27:37I know your team-mates will not be remonstrating with Iain, because he was left here!

0:27:37 > 0:27:39- All by myself!- Alone! Against the Eggheads.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43- I hope you enjoyed it.- It's been great fun.- Great to see you.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Good luck with the charity activities with Bummit. - Thanks very much.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Commiserations to Techno Prisoners,

0:27:48 > 0:27:51the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them

0:27:51 > 0:27:53and their winning streak continues.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £27,000,

0:27:56 > 0:27:58so the money rolls over to our next show.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00I know it would have come in very useful.

0:28:00 > 0:28:05Eggheads, congratulations. I don't think you're ever going to lose!

0:28:05 > 0:28:07DAPHNE: That's it!

0:28:07 > 0:28:10Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13£28,000 says they don't!

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Until then, goodbye!
