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.
0:00:16 > 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 > 0:00:33pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:38are the Monkey Puzzlers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This team of old school and university friends
0:00:41 > 0:00:45are regular quizzers at the Wise Monkey pub in Glasgow. Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Stephen, I'm 24 and I'm an English teacher.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Sean, I'm 27. I'm a quantity surveyor.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Scott, I'm 24 and I'm a sales representative.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Jamie, I'm 24 and I'm a warehouse operative.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 24 and I work in learner development.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06- Stephen and team, welcome.- Hi. - We record in Glasgow and you're from round the corner.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Yeah, we're local, from the east end of Glasgow.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14- You quiz together?- We do. - Tell us about that. They're obsessed with how people quiz.
0:01:14 > 0:01:20- They're not mere mortals. - We've quizzed at a lot of pubs in Glasgow over the last few years.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Our main one just now is the Wise Monkey in the West End.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25And we do not bad.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30What sort of atmosphere is there in the pub when you're quizzing? Is it quite tense?
0:01:30 > 0:01:36It's really good fun. It does get a bit serious as the prize money goes up, but generally, it's good fun.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- If I was Sherlock Holmes, I would deduce that you play rugby?- I do.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- We'll get a close-up of your fingers there.- I was stamped on.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47It's broken two fingers.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53OK, if you get knocked out, you can say the rugby injury stopped you from playing to your full strength.
0:01:53 > 0:02:00- A valid excuse.- Good luck, Monkey Puzzlers. Every day, £1,000 is up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Monkey Puzzlers, the Eggheads are on quite a streak. They've won the last 27 games.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15So you'll know that £28,000 is there for you if you win today.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Would you like to get cracking? - Yes.- I thought you would.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22The first head-to-head battle is on History.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Which of you would like this?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Stephen's our History man. - I don't fancy it now.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I think you should go for it.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Yeah, I'll take the fall on that. - OK, Stephen.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Against which Egghead? You can choose one, any of them. - Not Kevin. Definitely not Kevin.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Chris or Judith?- Whatever you feel. You're doing it.- Judith.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48Stephen from the Monkey Puzzlers against Judith on History. That's one of your favourites.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Yes, but I lost the last one if you remember.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- That was because I said things I shouldn't have said.- Exactly, so this time...- No praising.
0:02:56 > 0:03:02To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Stephen, you're an English teacher? - I am, yes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- And your passions?- I love the works of F Scott Fitzgerald and Oscar Wilde.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- They're my main literary passions. - We're criss-crossing a bit with History?
0:03:17 > 0:03:22We are. I did a couple of years at university on History, so hopefully, some of it stuck.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Judith, I know what I'm not allowed to say.- Yes.- I won't say it.- Good.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32For anyone confused by that reference, it's just any praising of your historical knowledge
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- seems to cause trouble. - We've got to be realistic about it.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- We just mustn't mention how good you are. - Thank you for not mentioning it(!)
0:03:41 > 0:03:47- So, Stephen, History, your choice. Would you like to go first or second?- Second, please.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51OK, Judith. Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55In 1951, the aircraft carrier Campania sailed round the UK
0:03:55 > 0:04:00as an exhibition ship in support of what event?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Well, the Olympic Games was '48
0:04:08 > 0:04:10and the Coronation was '53
0:04:10 > 0:04:12and the Festival of Britain was '51.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15It must be the Festival of Britain.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Yes. A tricky question, but you've got it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Stephen, your question.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24What term was coined to refer to the dominant nations
0:04:24 > 0:04:27at the Paris Peace Conference just after World War One?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35The Enormous Eight sounds too many.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39And the Statesmanlike Six just does not sound right to me,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43although I'm probably wrong. I'll go for the Big Four.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47No, you're right. Big Four is correct. Well done.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Judith, your second question.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54In 1940, Syria fell under the control of which regime?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01That was Vichy France.
0:05:01 > 0:05:07You're right. It was Vichy France. Stephen, here is your next question.
0:05:07 > 0:05:13In February 1950, the previously undistinguished Senator Joseph R McCarthy made headlines
0:05:13 > 0:05:19when he claimed how many Communists had infiltrated the US State Department?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I am familiar with McCarthyism,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31but I'm not familiar with the quote, so I'm struggling a wee bit on this.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37I think...I will plump for 65.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40It's the obvious one to go down the middle.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Actually, it's more than that. It is 205
0:05:43 > 0:05:48which explains why he made such a splash with it. 205 is the answer.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Judith, your question now.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56The poorly timed detonation of a bridge over the River Elster signalled the end
0:05:56 > 0:05:59of which disastrous 1813 battle for Napoleon?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I think it's Leipzig.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09What makes you think that?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- It's the magic right. No...- No, more than that.- It rings a bell.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17So it was a disastrous battle for Napoleon, was it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I hope so.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22In more ways than one, I hope so.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25You're right. Leipzig is correct. Sorry, Stephen.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28She's got three in a row and there's no way back for you
0:06:28 > 0:06:33because you got one wrong, so we have to say goodbye. You won't be in the final round.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Judith, you're in the final. Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43- Stephen, bad luck. - Yeah, I should have known the McCarthy one, but hey-ho...
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- And, of course, the fingers didn't help. - No. I'll pull that in as an excuse.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53So the Monkey Puzzlers have lost a brain from the final round,
0:06:53 > 0:06:58the skipper's brain, while the Eggheads haven't lost any. The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Who would like this?
0:07:00 > 0:07:06- Initially, I was going to go for that one.- Christopher, how do you feel about that?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Who do we want to keep to the end?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12How do you feel? I'm useless at Arts & Books.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- It's Christopher or Sean. - I would prefer General Knowledge to Arts & Books.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Do you want to go for it, Chris? - Yes, I'll take it then.- OK, Chris.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Choose an Egghead. It can't be Judith.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- I'll make it a Chris head-to-head. - Chris and Chris?- Yes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33The two Chrises, one from the Monkey Puzzlers, one from the Eggheads, on Arts & Books,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35please go to the question room.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Chris, Arts & Books... - Yeah, fair enough, Jeremy.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I was talking to the other Chris, but it's going to happen, isn't it?
0:07:43 > 0:07:49- Chris from Monkey Puzzlers, Arts & Books?- It was the secondary subject, but it had to be done.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54- We'll see what happens. - Your favourite book? - Lanark by Alasdair Gray.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- We discovered about your Scottish heritage, other Chris.- Yeah.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Have you read that book? - No.- Tempted to?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Yeah, Lanark... Is it a novel or is it a history of Lanark?
0:08:05 > 0:08:11- It's a novel.- Perhaps not as interesting as the history of Lanark would be, but there we go.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16That's a very interesting insight into the mind of Eggheads' Chris. OK, Arts & Books.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- Chris from Monkey Puzzlers, do you want to go first or second? - First, please.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Good luck to you. Here we go. How is jealousy described in the Shakespeare play Othello?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39My knowledge of Shakespeare isn't great,
0:08:39 > 0:08:44but with a bit of deduction, I can rule out the blue-hearted monster
0:08:44 > 0:08:48and the yellow-livered monster, so I'll go for the green-eyed monster.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51The green-eyed monster is absolutely right. Well done.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55OK, Egghead Chris, your question.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00Which gallery is the traditional home of Constable's famous painting, The Hay Wain?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09That's in the National Gallery in London, Jeremy.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12You're right. National Gallery of London.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17- Are you suffering with a cold?- I've got a beauty.- Commiserations.- Yeah.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Chris from Monkey Puzzlers,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22which British sculptor, who died in 1986,
0:09:22 > 0:09:28made a famous series of drawings of people sheltering in the London Underground during World War Two?
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Oh, my knowledge of sculpture and sculptors isn't good.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I think I'll go for Henry Moore.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Just a stab in the dark this time.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Chris, you'll know this. - It was Henry Moore.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Well done, Chris from the Monkey Puzzlers.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Chris, on to you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58"In my craft or sullen art" is the first line of a poem by which writer?
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Oh...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05It doesn't sound like TS Eliot.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It doesn't sound like WH Auden.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It sounds like the strange-working mind of Dylan Thomas
0:10:11 > 0:10:15from Cwmdonkin Terrace, Swansea, so I'll say Dylan Thomas.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Yeah, you've got it, Chris. Well done. Dylan Thomas, it is.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21So, two each.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Both Chrises are playing well. Let's see if you can get the third question right.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Harvey Boy Dougdale, the lover of Lady Montdore,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34is a central character in which novel by Nancy Mitford?
0:10:40 > 0:10:45This again, unfortunately, will have to be a total stab in the dark.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I think I might rule out Don't Tell Alfred
0:10:50 > 0:10:53because of the language in the title of the book,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56as opposed to the names of the characters,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00so I think I'll go for The Pursuit Of Love, please.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05It's the most famous title there which is Love In A Cold Climate
0:11:05 > 0:11:09by Nancy Mitford. Love In A Cold Climate.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12So we go over to our Egghead with a cold. Chris, for the round...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Undertones Of War, published in 1928,
0:11:16 > 0:11:21is which author's account of their time on the Western Front during World War One?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Well, Erich Maria Remarque wrote All Quiet On The Western Front,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33or Im Westen Nichts Neues.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I've never heard of Frederic Manning,
0:11:35 > 0:11:40but the name Edmund Blunden rings vague bells, so I'll go with him.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Excellently played, Chris from the Eggheads. You've taken the round.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Sorry, other Chris, you've been knocked out.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52He's played very well, old Chris. You won't be in the final, Chris from the Monkey Puzzlers.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02- Chris, bad luck.- I can't have quite the excuse Stephen does. I just have a nasty paper cut on my thumb.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- What, you haven't got bandaged fingers?- Just a plaster.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10The Monkey Puzzlers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13The Eggheads have still not lost a brain.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15The next subject is Sport.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Which of you would like this? - I'll take this.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- Jamie?- Will I take Daphne on it? - Dave's really good at Sport.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28I'll play Daphne as she's the only female left and, hopefully, she doesn't like Sport.
0:12:28 > 0:12:34- You're risking something with that. Wait and see what she's made of. - I said "hopefully".- He's not with us.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40Jamie from the Monkey Puzzlers thinks Daphne will be rolled over on Sport. I'm not so sure.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Let's find out. Do both go to the question room.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50- You do quite a lot of sports, Jamie?- I play a bit of rugby, same team as Stephen.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- An jujitsu as well?- I used to. A couple of years ago, I did it for a while.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- With the spinning and the throwing? - No, it's grappling on the mat.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- You don't twist and spin? - No, I think that's judo.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Football as well? You support which football club? - I support Glasgow Rangers.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- So you live a sport-obsessed life? - I would say so.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Daphne, what do you follow? - What do I follow? Rugby.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18We've got a lot of sport there. Let's see what comes up.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24- Jamie, you choose whether you go first or second.- I'll be a gentleman and I'll let Daphne go first.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Daphne, in cricket, what name is given to a player
0:13:30 > 0:13:34who scores 100 or more runs in a single innings?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Well...
0:13:42 > 0:13:46He scores a century, so he must be a centurion.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Centurion is the right answer.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Over to you, Jamie. Good luck.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54How many players are there on a baseball team?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Baseball is not one of my favourite sports,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06but if I was guessing, I would say there's 13.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- That would be my guess.- 13...
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Let's see if Daphne knows this. Daphne?- It's nine.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Nine is the answer.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Over to you, Daphne.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22In which position did Peter Bonetti make several hundred appearances for Chelsea Football Club?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Well, my son-in-law and grandson would never forgive me
0:14:30 > 0:14:34if I get this wrong because they're big Chelsea supporters
0:14:34 > 0:14:37and he was a goalie.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Do you know what his nickname was? - The Cat?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44It was. A goalkeeper is correct. Well done.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Jamie, over to you.
0:14:46 > 0:14:52On what type of tennis court is the annual Hopman Cup tournament in Australia played?
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Seeing as the Australian Open is played there, I would say "hard".
0:15:00 > 0:15:04You're absolutely right, Jamie. Hard is correct. You've got a point.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Because Jamie got one wrong,
0:15:06 > 0:15:10if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14In China, the term "wushu" refers to what?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17That's W-U-S-H-U.
0:15:21 > 0:15:28I think it's a combination of martial arts.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Let's ask Jamie. Is she right, Jamie?- I think so.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Yeah, you're right, Daphne. Martial arts, it is. Three out of three.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43- Sorry, Jamie. She does sometimes explode on to the pitch like that. - A very good player.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Yeah, she's in the final and I'm afraid you've been knocked out.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:51 > 0:15:58The Monkey Puzzlers have lost three brains from the final round while the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00The next subject is Film & TV.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Which of you would like this?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- I'll take that one.- Scott.- Scott?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- Against which Egghead? Kevin or Dave.- What do you think?
0:16:08 > 0:16:14- Either way...- Either way, we'll get them in the final. - I'll take Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19So it is Scott from the Monkey Puzzlers versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Please go to the question room.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28- Dave, Film & TV, are you ready for this one?- Yes, I am, yeah, looking forward to it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Any excitements on TV for you or...?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- What, currently?- Yeah.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37No, I'm more a person who just watches the sports, to be honest, when I get the chance.
0:16:37 > 0:16:43- Do you like boxing?- I love it.- We've got a great connection with Scott here, I thought you'd enjoy this,
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- which is that you once had lunch with Sugar Ray Leonard.- I did, yes.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Legend.- Tell us about it. What was that great fight? Marvin Hagler?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Yeah, the Hagler-Leonard fight and also the Duran and Leonard fight.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58So how did that happen, Scott?
0:16:58 > 0:17:04Sugar Ray Leonard was doing a promotional tour around the UK, just doing dinner speaking.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08My father happens to know the person who's promoting these dinners.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13One afternoon he just said, "Would you like to go for lunch with Sugar Ray Leonard?"
0:17:13 > 0:17:19I'm a massive boxing fan and he is one of my heroes, so it was a fantastic experience to do it.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Yeah, he was an absolutely beautiful boxer, I must say.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- Film & TV. Scott, would you like to go first or second? - I would like to go first, please.
0:17:30 > 0:17:37Here we go with your question. Jules Tavernier was a regular character in the 1990s in which TV soap?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I'm not a big soap-watcher.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'm going to opt for Coronation Street.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I'm afraid you're wrong. EastEnders, it is.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Who's our EastEnders... Isn't it you, Judith?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Yes. It must have been before I started watching.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Dave, do you know? - Yeah, the Taverniers were...
0:18:00 > 0:18:02There was Clyde and Hattie.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06If you can recall the singer Michelle Gayle? She was in there.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08And Clyde, ironically, was a boxer.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14And Jules was like the patriarch of the family, the older one.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17There we go, Scott. Sorry about that. Your question, Dave.
0:18:17 > 0:18:25In which decade was the TV detective series Hawaii Five-0, starring Jack Lord, first broadcast?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33In which decade was the TV detective series Hawaii Five-0,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35starring Jack Lord, first broadcast?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39It's a bad one for me. It's not the '80s.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42It could be late '60s.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47No, I'm going to go with the 1970s, but with no certainty at all.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- It could be the late '60s. I could have got this wrong.- You have.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53You just missed it. 1960s.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Scott, over to you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58You got one wrong, Dave got one wrong. Neck and neck.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04Who plays the female lead opposite Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock's North By Northwest?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11A bit before my time, this one.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I'm not a huge Alfred Hitchcock film watcher. It will have to be a guess.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20For some reason, I'm drawn to Grace Kelly. I'll go for Grace Kelly.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24It could have been, but wasn't. It was Eva Marie Saint.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30In Family Guy, what is the maiden name of Lois, wife of Peter Griffin?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Isn't it brilliant?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Chris will know this because he watches it religiously.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I don't watch this at all.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I've got no idea.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47The one name that's sticking out to me,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51but again the country will be shouting at me... Quagmire.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- It's not Quagmire.- Pewterschmidt. - It is Pewterschmidt, yeah.- Yeah.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Chris, you like it?- I do. Joe Swanson's the cop in a wheelchair.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Glenn Quagmire... Giggity-giggity-goo!
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- LAUGHTER - Pewterschmidt is Lois's maiden name
0:20:06 > 0:20:10and Carter Pewterschmidt, her father, a sort of moneybags type
0:20:10 > 0:20:13who's down on Peter and enjoys humiliating him...
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Yeah, it's good. Mind you, don't let your kids watch it. It's very rude.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19OK, we'll bear that in mind.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23It's just family life in a slightly crazy family?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Yeah, a pretty skewed view of American suburban life.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29And there's Stewie, of course,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32the homicidal baby intent on world domination.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I just didn't know this was a passion of Chris's.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- Anyone else here passionate about Family Guy?- We're all big fans.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43People either love it or they're just not there.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48No-one has got a question right in this round yet. Can I say that the tension is incredible here?
0:20:48 > 0:20:55Zero-zero. Alan Napier, Scott, who played Alfred the butler in the 1960s Batman TV series,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59was a cousin of which Prime Minister?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Alan Napier, who played Alfred the butler
0:21:06 > 0:21:10in the 1960s Batman TV series,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14was a cousin of which Prime Minister?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Based on the fact I think that was kind of '50s and '60s...
0:21:20 > 0:21:24..I'm actually going to go for Winston Churchill.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28No, it wasn't Winston Churchill.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I can picture this guy. He was quite tall. He looked like Anthony Eden.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- He was tall and distinguished.- Yeah. - Neville Chamberlain is the answer.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40OK, we don't often get zeroes all round, do we?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Dave, if you get this one right, you're in the final.
0:21:44 > 0:21:52What is the title of the 1989 sequel to the 1985 Chevy Chase film comedy, Fletch?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00The one that's looking out at me, so I'll just go for it - Fletch Lives.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Ya-ay!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Dave lives.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Dave lives and will be in the final. Fletch Lives is correct. Well done.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Sorry, Scott.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16That was kind of a crazy round, but the Egghead has just pipped you.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21If you come back to us and rejoin your teams, we will play that final round.
0:22:21 > 0:22:27This is what we have been playing towards, the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:30 > 0:22:32can't take part in this round,
0:22:32 > 0:22:38so, Stephen, Scott, Jamie and Chris, unfortunately, all from this side, the Monkey Puzzlers,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I have to ask you to leave the studio, please.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Is this the plan, Sean, for you to have been left or did it just happen?
0:22:46 > 0:22:52It always was... General Knowledge was always something I was stronger on. I've not really got a speciality.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- OK.- General Knowledge was always going to be there.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59So you're playing to win the Monkey Puzzlers £28,000.
0:22:59 > 0:23:05Judith, Kevin, Dave, Daphne, Chris with the cold, you are playing for something that money can't buy
0:23:05 > 0:23:07which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time, they are all General Knowledge.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16You are allowed to confer. So, Sean, the question is -
0:23:16 > 0:23:21is your one brain able to overwhelm the Eggheads' five?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Here we go. Good luck. An electric guitar is often referred to by which slang term?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I'm a big fan of heavy metal music
0:23:38 > 0:23:42and they're always mentioning axemen.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47They're lead guitarists, so on that basis, I would go with "axe".
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Axe is the right answer. Well done. Good start.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Eggheads, all five of you,
0:23:51 > 0:23:56which town hosts an annual international musical Eisteddfod?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Llangollen.- Llangollen.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- I think it's the Welsh one.- Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Eisteddfod is obviously particularly associated with Wales,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10so we'll go for Llangollen.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Llangollen is right.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Had you said one of the other two,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- no-one in Wales would ever watch us again.- No.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- It would've been a diplomatic disaster.- A lot riding on that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23OK, your question now, Sean.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Which unincorporated territory of the United States
0:24:26 > 0:24:31has the song La Borinquena as its anthem?
0:24:34 > 0:24:41I'll spell it for you. It's "La", L-A, then B-O-R-I-N-Q-U-E-N-A.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44The N has one of those little accents on.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46On the basis of the spelling
0:24:46 > 0:24:50and the mark you've just described on the N,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53it leads me towards Puerto Rico
0:24:53 > 0:24:56because it's Spanish-speaking,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59so I think I would go for Puerto Rico.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02I'm glad I described the little wobbly accent on the N.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Puerto Rico is the right answer. Two out of two.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Playing well. This is interesting with £28,000 to win.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14The Eggheads, you never know, if the five of them get a bit cocky, get a bit of a swagger,
0:25:14 > 0:25:19they get one wrong, bang, you've got them! So, here we go.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22What was the name of William Walton's Prelude and Fugue,
0:25:22 > 0:25:28adapted from his score for the 1942 film, The First Of The Few?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Spitfire.- Spitfire?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Spitfire Prelude?- Yeah.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39That's the Spitfire...Prelude.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42It is the Spitfire Prelude. You've got it right.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48They are playing a close game here, but you're confident.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54Here's your third question. Get this right and if they get theirs wrong, you've won the money.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Simple as that. £28,000 - big jackpot.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Sean, what type of creature is the venomous rinkhals?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I'll spell "rinkhals" for you.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09It's R-I-N-K-H-A-L-S.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Rinkhals, one word.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I'm not too familiar with that one,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17but if I had to guess...
0:26:18 > 0:26:20..purely for...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Obviously, all the answers are venomous.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27But just playing it a bit leftfield, I would go with scorpion.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33OK, scorpion is your answer. Leftfield because...?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36When you hear "venom", you just go for snake and spider.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41I think I know more snake and spider species than I do scorpion.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I've not heard of this one, so I would go with scorpion.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Scorpion is wrong. The answer is snake.- OK.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52I'm sorry to say. It's a ring-necked spitting cobra.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00The Paris Metro features a station named after which US President?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- FDR.- FDR?- Yeah.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13This one, some of us have actually been to. It's Franklin D Roosevelt.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18Franklin D Roosevelt is your answer and it is correct.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32- Sean, commiserations. - Hoping against hope, I think. - You were very sure-footed.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Snake, scorpion, I see the logic of what took you away from snake.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40- We think we know most snakes, but this one was a stinker. - Yeah.- The rinkhals.
0:27:40 > 0:27:46As for you, Eggheads, what is the Clement Attlee quote? "A period of silence from you would be welcome."
0:27:46 > 0:27:50You've won too many games. Someone will beat you at some stage.
0:27:50 > 0:27:56Commiserations to the Monkey Puzzlers. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Their winning streak continues. I know that's infuriating.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03You won't be going home with £28,000 which rolls over to the next show.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Eggheads, very well done. Who is going to beat you?
0:28:07 > 0:28:13Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16£29,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
