0:00:04 > 0:00:08'These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12'Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15'arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'The question is, can they be beaten?'
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:37 > 0:00:40are Between The Rock And A Hard Place.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This team of friends all quiz together every Thursday
0:00:43 > 0:00:46in The Rock pub in Glasgow. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi there, my name's Craig, I'm 25 years old
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and I'm a junior doctor training to become a GP.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello, my name's William, I'm 25 years old
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and I'm training to be a surgeon.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, my name's Michael, I'm 24 and I'm a junior doctor
0:00:59 > 0:01:01currently working in obstetrics and gynaecology.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, my name's Gordon, I'm 25, I'm a junior doctor
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and I'm about to start specialty training in medicine.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Andrew, I'm 25
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and I'm studying towards a PhD in mechanical engineering.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- So, Craig and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Hi there.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- So, Between The Rock And A Hard Place, The Rock is a place?- Yeah.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The Rock's the name of the pub which we regularly quiz at every Thursday,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26and we've been doing that for the past year and a half together.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29They take their quizzing seriously. They've got about 20 teams?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Yeah, there's usually about 20 teams and it's a pretty tough quiz.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35It's well renowned. There's been features in the Herald
0:01:35 > 0:01:39documenting how tough it is, so it's good preparation for today.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Do I dare ask where you are in the 20?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45We have variable levels of success.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49We're usually in the middle, but a lot of the teams are older
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and more experienced, and I think for our age, we do quite well.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- So we're talking top five?- We have been know to be in the top five.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Not quite Man United, but Man City? - Yeah, probably.- Or Chelsea.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Yep.- Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:03 > 0:02:07for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13So, I can tell you, Between The Rock And A Hard Place, love your name,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16the Eggheads have won the last 28 games,
0:02:16 > 0:02:22which means £29,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Who would like Politics?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31We've had a discussion beforehand.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- We've decided on Gordon. - Yeah, I'll take this one.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Gordon's going to step up for this one.- OK. Impressive immediately,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39cos normally when I say politics, the team goes, "Oh, no!"
0:02:39 > 0:02:43You didn't flinch. Gordon against which Egghead?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Er, shall I play Daphne?- OK.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Daphne, please.- Lovely. OK.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Gordon from Between The Rock And A Hard Place
0:02:52 > 0:02:54and Daphne from the Eggheads,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57would you please take your positions in the question room
0:02:57 > 0:02:59and you'll have your questions on politics.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, Politics, Gordon. Your choice.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Good luck. Here we go. For what does the letter F stand
0:03:11 > 0:03:14in the European Union policy known as the CFP?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Er, the CFP is the Common Fisheries Policy,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24so I'll go with fisheries.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Fisheries is the right answer, well done.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29THEY CLAP
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Daphne, your question. Who directly preceded Neville Chamberlain
0:03:33 > 0:03:35as prime minister of the UK?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43That was Stanley Baldwin.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Stanley Baldwin is correct.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Back to you, Gordon. Who was the only US president
0:03:49 > 0:03:51for whom English was not his first language?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I don't really have any idea for this question. Erm....
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I wouldn't have thought it would be Theodore Roosevelt.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Erm, I think I'll go for James K Polk.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12James K Polk is your answer. It's an interesting question. Daphne?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14It's Martin Van Buren.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I think it was Dutch he originally spoke.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Martin Van Buren is the answer, Gordon. Sorry.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23OK, Daphne, your question to take the lead.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Which Oscar-winning actor caused controversy in February 2012
0:04:28 > 0:04:32by speaking out about the political status of the Falkland Islands?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Yes, what does he know? Sean Penn.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- HE LAUGHS - Sean Penn is the right answer.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Well done. So, she's ahead, Gordon, and you need to get this right
0:04:50 > 0:04:54or you've been knocked out. In 2010, Dominic Grieve was appointed
0:04:54 > 0:04:57to which position in the coalition government?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Er, I'm not sure about this.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I think I'll go for Leader of the Commons.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Yeah, it's funny, I opened my newspaper just the other day
0:05:10 > 0:05:14and saw a big picture of him wearing one of those wigs,
0:05:14 > 0:05:20those judicial wigs. Attorney General is the answer, Gordon.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22So with one out of three, no way back for you.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Daphne has booked her place in the final round.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Please, both of you, come back, rejoin your teammates.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31As it stands, this team, Between The Rock And A Hard Place,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35have lost one brain, this team have lost no brains.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38The next subject is Music.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Who's listening the whole time to music when they're not operating?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43None of us, I don't think.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Music's not great for us. - Really?- Unfortunately not, no.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50But we'd selected William beforehand.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52William, you're already nominated on this one, are you?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Apparently.- OK. - THEY LAUGH
0:05:55 > 0:05:59So, which Egghead would you like? It can't be Daphne cos she's gone.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- I think I'll take on Chris. - So, William from the challengers
0:06:03 > 0:06:06versus Chris from the Eggheads. And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08take your positions in the question room.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- So, William, you have been asked to do Music.- Unfortunately, yes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16It's unusual to have a team of young men
0:06:16 > 0:06:18and no-one really passionate about music.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- We're all more sporting-inclined people, really.- OK. Good luck.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- You can choose the first or second set of questions.- First, please.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Here we go. All the best. For what is the word Met short
0:06:34 > 0:06:38in the nickname of the famous opera venue in New York?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44OK, I haven't been there.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Really not sure. I think it's unlikely to be Methodist.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I think I'll go for Metropolitan.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Metropolitan is the right answer.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57THEY CLAP
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Chris, your music question. Which precious stones
0:06:59 > 0:07:03form the title of a UK number one single for Rihanna in 2012?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Er, what's the most precious of those three? Presumably Diamonds.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Diamonds is the right answer.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16OK, your question, William.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19What is the title of the album released by the Rolling Stones
0:07:19 > 0:07:22to mark their 50th anniversary?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30OK, er, no idea here,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32so it's going to have to be a complete guess.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I think I'll go for Whey.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Whey? We've got YAYY! WAHHH! or GRRR!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Yeah, WAHHH! with a W. - Oh, WAHHH!, OK.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47No. It's wrong. GRRR! is the right answer.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Chris, your question. Blues musician John Lee Hooker
0:07:51 > 0:07:54became famous for his ability to play which instrument?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01John Lee Hooker sings blues and plays a guitar.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03You're right, he does. You take the lead.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07So you're in the same pickle that Gordon was in in the last round.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12You need this question or you'll be knocked out like Gordon.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Ira Gershwin once praised a singer by saying,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18"I never knew how good our songs were until I heard..."
0:08:18 > 0:08:20who sing them?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Well, this seems like something that was just a little before my time.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Erm...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's going to have to be a guess here.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I think I'll go for Ella Fitzgerald.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Eggheads, is he right? - Yeah.- Yes, you are right.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Well done. You've got two points. - THEY CLAP
0:08:42 > 0:08:45So, you now need Chris to get this one wrong and we go to sudden death.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47If he gets it right, he's in the final round. Here we go.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Who composed the opera Anna Nicole,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53staged by the Royal Opera House in 2011?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Hm. That's about Anna Nicole Smith, isn't it?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Er, I don't think it was Harrison Birtwistle.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I don't think it was Judith Weir. I think it was Mark-Anthony Turnage.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, you've got it absolutely right, Chris. Well done.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Mark-Anthony Turnage it is. So you're in the final,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20three out of three. The Eggheads are playing well, not an answer wrong.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Sorry, William, you have been knocked out.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30As it stands, Between The Rock And A Hard Place have lost two brains
0:09:30 > 0:09:34from the final round, the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37The next subject is Sport and I know you're more comfortable with this.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- So who is this? - That's better for us.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- That's going to be Michael. - I think that one's me.- Michael, OK.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Against which Egghead? - Shall we go for Dave?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Go for it.- Let's go for Dave.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52OK, Michael versus tremendous knowledge Dave.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55The doctor against the genius.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- HE LAUGHS - I wouldn't say that at all!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Against the very knowledgeable person.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06So we've got two people who love sport here, Michael,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09but I know you may be under-par today cos you've had a busy night.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Not quite under-par, but I have had a busy night.- Tell us why.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Well, to get here this morning, I just finished night shift
0:10:16 > 0:10:20about two hours before our arrival time at the studio.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22During the night, I would've got a bit of sleep,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26but I had to assist in three emergency caesarean sections.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28That's incredible.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33So you delivered three... There's three different mums involved.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Three different mums and a lot of running about.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- And then you come straight here. - Then I came straight here.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- No chance to nap in between? - Erm, no, not quite.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- HE LAUGHS - But the main thing is,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- all three mums and babies doing all right?- Everybody's all right, yeah.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I think we need a round of applause for that.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- APPLAUSE - After that, this will be a doddle.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Hopefully.- So you're on sport.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Here we go, Michael. Good luck.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08The World Series in US baseball is contested over how many games?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Erm, I'm not a big baseball fan myself.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Erm...
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I've just maybe seen it on some kind of US TV programmes
0:11:21 > 0:11:24that I might watch. I think it's more than three.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29I'm not sure it's as much as 11. Down the middle, best of seven.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32The sleepless night has not put you off your stroke.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Best of seven is correct. - THEY CLAP
0:11:35 > 0:11:37OK, Dave, your question.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42During 2012, Yorkshiremen James Willstrop and Nick Matthew
0:11:42 > 0:11:46both held the position of world number one in which racquet sport?
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- That's squash.- Yeah, it's squash.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55OK, Michael, your question.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58In the 1993 to 1994 Premier League season,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01who formed a partnership with Andy Cole
0:12:01 > 0:12:06that scored 55 goals for Newcastle United?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12OK, so, 93-94,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Alan Shearer would've been at Blackburn at that point.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Moved for a world record transfer fee in 1996
0:12:18 > 0:12:21from Blackburn to Newcastle, so it's not him.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Chris Waddle was more of a winger, not really a goal-scorer.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I think that one's Peter Beardsley.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- It is Peter Beardsley. Well done. - THEY CLAP
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Dave, here is your question to catch up with our challenger.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38In 2012, who finished second to Sebastian Vettel
0:12:38 > 0:12:41in the Formula 1 driver's championship?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Right, erm...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I don't think it's Lewis Hamilton or Kimi Raikkonen,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I think it's Fernando Alonso.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Fernando Alonso is the right answer. Well done. Two points each.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Michael, get this one right, put a bit of pressure on our Egghead.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Which West Indies cricketer took 14 wickets
0:13:05 > 0:13:10for 149 runs at the Oval in 1976 against England?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Erm, I'm afraid I'm not a big cricket fan
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and I've not really heard of any of these guys.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Erm...
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I'm going to go for Michael Holding.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Who's the cricket fan on the Eggheads?- Me.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Oh, it's you, Dave, is it? Is he right?- Of course he's right.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Well done, Michael. You got three out of three.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35THEY CLAP
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Dave, which British boxer fought Marcos Maidana
0:13:39 > 0:13:43in a contest awarded the 2010 Fight Of The Year
0:13:43 > 0:13:47by the Boxing Writers Association of America?
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Marcos Maidana. I'm not sure at all
0:13:56 > 0:13:58but I'm going to rule out Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and go for Amir Khan.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Well, I know you love your boxing and you've got it right. Amir Khan.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So after three questions, the scores are level. We go to sudden death.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Michael, it gets a little bit harder cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13The International Sailing Federation
0:14:13 > 0:14:16replaced which sport with kiteboarding
0:14:16 > 0:14:19for the 2016 Rio Olympics,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22only to reverse their decision several months later?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Oh, erm, I'm not sure on this one at all.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Erm...
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I'm going to go with kayaking. I'm not sure at all, I'm afraid.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Anyone else on your team know? - I think it's windsurfing.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Yeah, you're quite right, it's windsurfing. Windsurfing.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43So, Dave, if you get this right, you've got the round.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46In November 2012, Harry Redknapp was appointed
0:14:46 > 0:14:48to manage which London football club?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Queens Park Rangers.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55QPR is the right answer, so you have taken the round.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57On a good run at the moment.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Michael, sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03As a result, Michael, you won't be in the final round and Dave will.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Please rejoin your teams.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08So, as it stands, Between The Rock And A Hard Place
0:15:08 > 0:15:11have lost three brains from the final round.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Craig, any change in tactics?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Or will you need to now resort to using medical equipment on them?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I think that may be an option, yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I don't know if anything else will work.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Bring out the scalpels.- Yeah. - The next subject is Geography.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It's not too late, guys. Believe me,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31with one or two in the final, you can take them apart.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Geography. Who wants it? - I'll be up for that one.- OK, Craig.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40And which Egghead would you like? It can be Kevin or Barry, the bookends.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42It's a tough choice. They're both very strong.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I think we'll go on the attack and take on Kevin.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47All right, so Craig from Between The Rock And A Hard Place
0:15:47 > 0:15:50versus Kevin from the Eggheads. Please take your positions.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55OK, so it is Geography, Craig. Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59The temptation's there to go second, but we discussed the strategy,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02we'll go first and try and put some pressure on Kevin.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Craig, good luck getting to the final round against Kevin.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Skelmersdale, designated a new town in 1961,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18is located 13 miles to the northeast of which city?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I'm not 100 percent certain on this one,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26but when you read the question,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30the first thing that came into my mind was Liverpool. I'll go for that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33And Liverpool is the right answer, well done.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- THEY CLAP - I'm assuming 13 miles northeast
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- of Sunderland is the sea! - It is, yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41That wouldn't be a good place to put a new town.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Kevin, which term refers to a line on a map of the ocean
0:16:45 > 0:16:48that connects points of equal depth?
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Yes. Somebody's been looking at the sanitary ware there.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It's isobath.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Isobath is the right answer.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08OK, Craig, your question.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11What is the standard crossing time from Penzance to Hugh Town
0:17:11 > 0:17:15in the Isles of Scilly by the seasonal ferry?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I'm not really sure on this one.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I'm going to rule out 30 minutes. I think that's a bit short.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I think the Scilly Isles are a bit further away.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31By the same token, six hours probably sounds a bit too much,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33so I'll go two hours 40 minutes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Two hours 40 minutes is absolutely right.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38THEY CLAP
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- There's a politician who used to holiday there.- Harold Wilson.- Yeah.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Kevin, where are the headquarters
0:17:45 > 0:17:47of the international airline Cathay Pacific?
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Er, Cathay Pacific is the one that's based in Hong Kong.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Hong Kong is the right answer. He is difficult to shake off, Craig,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04with this sort of methodical approach that he takes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Got to hope for something to just surprise him.- Hopefully.- Hopefully.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour
0:18:12 > 0:18:15are features of which Caribbean island?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Again, that's a tough one.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I'm not really sure at all.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Erm...
0:18:26 > 0:18:31I'd probably tend to say Jamaica more with English-sounding names,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33so I'm going to punt for Jamaica.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I could see why you chose that but it's wrong. It's Antigua.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40So Kevin has a chance to take the round here
0:18:40 > 0:18:45and reduce the brilliant Rock And Hard Place team to one player.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48The Forest of Bowland
0:18:48 > 0:18:51is considered to be part of which chain of hills?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Well, the Forest of Bowland, if I remember it correctly,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03is in Lancashire,
0:19:03 > 0:19:08and the Chilterns and the Mendips are both too far south for that.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11So it must be considered as part of the Pennines.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Never heard of it myself. Pennines, though, is the right answer.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Kevin, three out of three. Sorry, Craig, just slipping up on one
0:19:18 > 0:19:20lets him in, I'm afraid. It is the way with Kevin.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Yeah, it's always tough to beat him. - It is. But I hope you enjoyed it.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Yep. - You won't be in the final round.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28You can still win, though, challengers.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Both come back to us. Let's play that final.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36It is time for the final now. As always, it is General Knowledge.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It does mean those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:39 > 0:19:42won't be allowed to take part, so I have to ask Craig, William,
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Michael and Gordon from Between The Rock And A Hard Place,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49would you please leave us now.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52That does just leave you, Andrew. I'm sorry about that.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56But they're watching you from behind and willing you on.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00You're playing to win £29,000.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03We haven't been up at this kind of level of jackpot for quite a while.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Kevin, Dave, Daphne, Chris, Barry,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21You are allowed to confer. You've got no-one to confer with.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24But as I keep saying, you can still win.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28The question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- And would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37So, the engineer against the quizzers.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Good luck. Here's your first question.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Apart from the white spots and stem,
0:20:42 > 0:20:47what is the usual colour of a fly agaric mushroom?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I'm not entirely sure about this one,
0:20:53 > 0:20:59but I have an inkling that it might be red, so I'll go with that.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Excellent. You're right. Red is correct.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04OK, Eggheads, your first question.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08What name is given to a machine commonly used to pump oil
0:21:08 > 0:21:12to the surface at land-based oil wells?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18ALL: Nodding donkey.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21We see a lot of these, especially in places like Texas,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23and they go up and down all the time
0:21:23 > 0:21:26and that's why they're called nodding donkeys.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Nodding donkey is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30OK, over to you, Andrew.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35RTVE is the state broadcaster of which European country?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I've been to Spain before
0:21:42 > 0:21:44and I don't remember RTVE.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Erm...
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Having said that, it could be for Espanol,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53so I'm going to go with Spain.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57OK, Spain is your answer. You're right.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Really good. OK.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Eggheads, at the 2012 British Fashion Awards,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Cara Delevingne was a winner in which category?
0:22:11 > 0:22:16- Model of the Year. She's a model. - Oh. OK. She's a model.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I'm glad some of my colleagues know this cos I didn't have a clue,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24but I'm very reliably informed that she was Model of the Year.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Model of the Year is... correct.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32So if you know that one, Barry, you get in trouble at home, do you?
0:22:32 > 0:22:38- Something like that.- OK, we've seen the pattern of this game so far.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40You've caught them on a good day. That can happen.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43They have not got an answer wrong,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47not just in this round, at all. So that's been particularly difficult.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49But we know from what's happened before that this third question
0:22:49 > 0:22:53for the challengers is very important. Get this one right
0:22:53 > 0:22:57and they just have to get theirs wrong and you've got £29,000.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59How many Scottish banks
0:22:59 > 0:23:01are permitted to issue bank notes in their own name?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09I think it's Royal Bank of Scotland,
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Clydesdale and the Bank of Scotland, so I'm going to go with three.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I can't think of any more than that, so I'll go with three.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I guess it helps that you're from Glasgow.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20The right answer is three.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26So let's see. If the Eggheads get this answer wrong,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29your team has £29,000. You were beginning to give up there.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34You see how close you can get to the prize with three correct answers?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Which writer, Eggheads,
0:23:36 > 0:23:41created the semi-autobiographical character Nick Adams?
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- Hemingway.- Yes.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Yeah, he did various short stories. - Hemingway.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57He did various short stories that involved the character.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- So, Ernest Hemingway?- Hemingway.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02If he was semi-autobiographical, he must've been quite interesting,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05but he was created by Ernest Hemingway.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Ernest Hemingway is the correct answer.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13So the tension continues to build. We go to sudden death, Andrew.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16It gets harder cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I know that not being able to confer when you're facing all five
0:24:19 > 0:24:21is tricky, but take your time.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25For what does the letter K stand
0:24:25 > 0:24:27in the acronym DINKY
0:24:27 > 0:24:32that describes a currently childless couple?
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I know the acronym, but I cannot remember
0:24:36 > 0:24:38what the letters actually stand for.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42I'll read it again. For what does the letter K stand
0:24:42 > 0:24:46in the acronym DINKY, D-I-N-K-Y,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49that describes a currently childless couple?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Because it's an N and a K,
0:24:51 > 0:24:56I'm going to go with "no kids" so I'm going to go with kids, Jeremy.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Yeah, it means Double Income No Kids Yet. Well done.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- Kids is the right answer. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:25:05 > 0:25:08You got the first sudden death question. You're back with them.
0:25:08 > 0:25:14If they get this wrong, it's £29,000 to our doctors, The Rock team.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Which songbird, known for its bright red plumage,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21shares its name with an ecclesiastical rank
0:25:21 > 0:25:24and is the official bird of seven US states?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- Cardinal.- Yeah. Cardinal.- Cardinal.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I think one of the states it's the official bird of is Louisiana,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34but that is a cardinal.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Ah, the certainty is so annoying.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Cardinal is correct.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42OK, back to you, Andrew.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44What is the name of the fictional Scottish character
0:25:44 > 0:25:49who skippers the small cargo boat, or puffer, called Vital Spark
0:25:49 > 0:25:51in stories by Neil Munro?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I'm afraid I really don't know this one. Erm...
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I've never read the stories myself.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I'm just going to have to pass on that one. I don't know.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Do you want to just try a guess?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Somewhere in the recesses, you've seen it or heard something?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11I've completely drawn a blank.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- I've completely drawn a blank with this.- OK. Eggs?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- ALL: Para Handy. - The name is Para Handy.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24The real name is Peter Macfarlane. So the tables are turned
0:26:24 > 0:26:28and Andrew is now between the rock and the hard place.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33And if you get this one right, the contest is over, Eggheads.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Here is your question. The songwriter Burt Bacharach
0:26:35 > 0:26:41was married to which actress between 1965 and 1980?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Hm. I should know it. - I should know it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48I'll go through them. Cos I've got, erm...
0:26:48 > 0:26:52..Jill Clayburgh on my mind, Katharine Ross.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58- I have a suspicion she was in a detective series.- What?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I've got a suspicion she was in a detective series.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Not Angie Dickinson? - Pepper, that was Angie Dickinson.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Ah, that's what I was trying to think of. It wasn't her, was it?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Could be.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Could be.- Angie Dickinson seems to ring a bit of a bell.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- I think it might be Angie Dickinson. - Yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- I think that just... - It sounds all right.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22We're uncertain about this one, but I have a suspicion
0:27:22 > 0:27:25that she was in an American TV drama as Pepper Anderson
0:27:25 > 0:27:29and I think the actress might be Angie Dickinson.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33The answer is Angie Dickinson. So Eggheads, you've taken
0:27:33 > 0:27:36not just the round with every question correct, the whole contest.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Andrew, sorry. Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Yeah, you know, I thought that they were just nowhere on that!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- I was really hoping. - They were truffling
0:27:54 > 0:27:58and then Barry got it and everyone went "ping!" with Angie Dickinson.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02It's a fair result. No questions wrong. You can't argue with that.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06All right, thank you for playing and being such a great team.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Commiserations to Between The Rock And A Hard Place.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Your winning streak continues. I'm afraid that means you won't go home
0:28:14 > 0:28:18with the £29,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Perfect contest for you. Who will beat you?
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:27 > 0:28:29have to brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32£30,000 says they don't. We're up to £30,000.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Until then, goodbye.
