0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are among the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to 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 > 0:00:36Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39from west Wales.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43This team all belong to the Manordeifi Short Mat Bowls Club
0:00:43 > 0:00:47based in their local village in Abercych. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi. My name's Steve. I'm 55 and I'm an ambulance driver.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi. My name's Michael.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I'm 65 and I'm a retired heating and ventilation engineer.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Alan. I'm aged 60 and I'm a sports retail director.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm Nick. I'm 66 years of age and I'm a stonemason.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Bernie. I'm 69 and I'm a carpenter.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Steve and team, welcome.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15The village hall in Abercych is the centre of things?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- That's correct.- Short mat bowling? - Short mat bowls, yeah.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Does that mean it's indoors? - It is, yes.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We're not reliant on the weather and play all year round.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Short mat is a reference to what you play on?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Yeah. Because we play in village halls, you can't play the full length.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34It's a game that's been adapted to village halls.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38It's being played up and down the country in all village halls.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Good stuff. Now, Lords of the Manor. Tell us a bit about the manor.
0:01:42 > 0:01:49The manor is Manordeifi, which is the name of the diocese that we live in and the name of our team.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55- Is there a real Lord of the Manor or is that all gone? - Alan's Lord of the Manor, really.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58OK, well, good luck to you in this game.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02There's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers every day.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12The Eggheads have been on quite a streak. I haven't seen a jackpot this big myself.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16We've hit 30,000 because they've won the last 29 games.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Short mat or not, it's worth being here.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- They're pretty good, then. - Have some of that!
0:02:21 > 0:02:27That's the trouble, they are pretty good. I think their last game, they didn't get a question wrong.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32So, £30,000 to win. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I will do that one.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- I think it's Nick, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40OK, Nick, and which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Maybe Pat?- I'm going to have a go at Chris, please.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- So it is Nick from Lords of the Manor against our very own Lord of the Manor.- Hm.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51You've had a number on music lately.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- I'm doing quite well on Music, actually.- You've been chosen a lot.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00He protests strongly then gets questions about the Sugababes, that's how it works.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- Yeah.- To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- You earn a living in an interesting way, Nick.- I do.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- As a stonemason.- That's right.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- You've done that for how long? - 50 years now.- Goodness me!
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Tell us what you do. Is that...? It's not dry stone walls?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Some of it is, yes.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28I build things in stone, whether it's walls, fireplaces.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Anything. Give me a pile of stone, I'll build you something nice.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Did you have to do an apprenticeship when you were 16?
0:03:36 > 0:03:40I was an apprentice bricklayer. I've been a bricklayer most of my life.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43In the last 20, 30 years, I've stuck to stonework.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Do you see now people who are coming up aged 17, 18, wanting to do it?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Not really. No.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55It's not as popular as it used to be.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59If I gave you some stone, you can build me a nice wall?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Absolutely. Or a fireplace even.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- That sounds great that, Chris, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08It's a shame all these old trades are more or less being killed off
0:04:08 > 0:04:13by lack of interest of the younger generation who don't like getting their hands dirty.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- It's not street cred, is it? - That's right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22- People are buying stuff from very large stores now instead of making it, I guess.- Mm.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27On that note, let's turn to Music, Nick, and see what you're made of, whether you can knock Chris out.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31He's doing quite well on music these days. £30,000 jackpot today.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Would you like to go first or second?- First please, Jeremy.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Your first question. Who is the heroine of the musical Annie Get Your Gun?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50It's not Queen Anne and not Anne Bonny.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51It's Annie Oakley.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Annie Oakley is correct.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Which song in the UK charts in 1999 opens with the lines,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05"She's into superstitions, black cats and voodoo dolls"?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Hm! That is Livin' La Vida Loca! CLEARS THROAT
0:05:15 > 0:05:17How do you know that so effortlessly?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21You'd be surprised what I know, Jeremy.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- How big is your Ricky Martin collection?- Non-existent.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- I just happen to know the song. - OK. Livin' La Vida Loca is correct.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Back to you, Nick.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35What was the title of the first UK Number 1 single for Prince?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I don't know this, Jeremy. I really don't know.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48My instinct tells me Little Red Corvette.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53I would definitely have gone for that, but it's wrong.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57It's The Most Beautiful Girl In The World. OK, Chris.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03The Rake Punished is the alternative title for which Mozart opera?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Well, Don Giovanni is actually Don Juan, the notorious womaniser
0:06:13 > 0:06:16and therefore rake, so it's Don Giovanni.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Don Giovanni is the right answer.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Chris is ahead, which means you need to get this right, Nick,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25or you will be knocked out.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Giacomo Puccini, the composer of the opera La Boheme,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31died in which city?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Again, I don't know.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42It's going to be another guess, I'm afraid.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I'm going to have a guess and say Amsterdam.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Let's see if Chris knows. Is he right?- I don't know, Jeremy.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53He was Italian, so you'd think he'd have died in Italy.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Amsterdam's as logical a place as any.- Anyone here know?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59DAPHNE: Brussels.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yeah, it's Brussels, Nick. Brussels is the answer.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07He was obviously on the move at the end of his life. I'm sorry.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Chris will be in the final round. Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17As it stands, the Lords of the Manor have lost the one brain from the final round.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21The next subject is Geography. Who would like this?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26That was going to be...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Is it Alan?- Or Bernie. Geography, Bernie?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I think you were doing it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Alan's going to do Geography. - Alan, OK.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Which Egghead would you like to play? Not Chris.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Dave. Have a go at Dave. Yeah? - OK, then. Dave, please.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- I sense you watch the programme. - Yeah.- I can tell you've got a plan.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Alan from Lords of the Manor against Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Good luck in this round - Geography against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Alan, you can choose to go first or second.- First, please.
0:08:05 > 0:08:11Alan, the Cumberland Gap is a natural pass through which system of mountains?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Ooh, that's an interesting one.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Um...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It wouldn't be the Himalayas.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It's unlikely to be the Appalachians.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29The Rocky Mountains is my best guess. The Rocky Mountains.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Is he right, Dave?- I think so, yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34No, you're wrong. It's the Appalachian Mountains.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- Sorry. I would have gone Rocky. - Yeah, tricky that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:45Dave, your question. Malham Cove and the town of Hebden Bridge are close to which long-distance walk?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Some good pubs there. Pennine Way.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Pennine Way is the right answer. Back to you, Alan.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Great Ganilly and Tean belong to which group of islands?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08It's definitely not the Channel Islands.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- Could you spell Tean?- Yes, T-E-A-N.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Great Ganilly is "Great" and then G-A-N-I-L-L-Y.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21I'm a little bit of a 50-50 between the two,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25but the spelling of Ganilly would push me towards the Isles of Scilly.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- I'm going for the Isles of Scilly. - Ganilly rhymes with Scilly.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32You're right. It's the Isles of Scilly. Well done.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Another tough one there.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40Which city on the Arabian peninsular was originally called Yathrib?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Right, um...
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I haven't got really an idea on this.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- I'm going for Muscat. - Let's see if your colleagues know.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Is Muscat right? - BARRY:- No, it's Medina.- Medina.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Any history there? Any details, Eggs?
0:10:00 > 0:10:05I think it was Yathrib in the time of Muhammad when he fled there.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Shortly afterwards, it became Medina.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- It's in which country? - Saudi Arabia.- Soudi Arabia.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Medina is the answer, Dave.- OK. - He's let you back in, Alan.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20First over a series... I'm trying to think when we last had a wrong answer.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- Yeah.- Cos you've had a streak now that's gone back a way, Eggheads.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Alan, in 2012, voyaging scientists were unable to find which island,
0:10:29 > 0:10:35which until that time had appeared on maps between Australia and New Caledonia?
0:10:41 > 0:10:47I don't recall reading about that, so it's going to have to be a guess.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52I wouldn't have thought Sunny at those latitudes. Um...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54So it's either Surfy or Sandy.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58I'm going to go for Surf Island, but it is a bit of a guess.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02You're right to rule out Sunny, but wrong to rule out Sandy.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Sandy Island it is.- Ah!
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Dave, your question.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Get this right, you're in the final round.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14The Island of Goree, formerly a centre of the slave trade
0:11:14 > 0:11:18and now a World Heritage Site, is part of which country?
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Goree is G-O-R-E acute accent E.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Er... Right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Yeah, go with Senegal.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39- Reasoning?- Er... Just the French side of things.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41So, yeah, go with Senegal. Yeah.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Senegal is the right answer so you've taken that round.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- There we are, Alan, it's the peril of getting two wrong.- I know.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54He's knocked you out, I'm afraid. You won't be in the final.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Dave Tremendous Knowledge, you will.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Please rejoin your teammates and we'll play on.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03The Lords of the manor have lost two brains from the final.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06The Eggheads have not lost a brain for a while.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Who would like this?- Ooh!
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- You going to take a hit for the team, Bernie?- Go on, Bern.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Who is it? Pat, Barry and Daphne?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Bernie against Daphne, Barry or Pat.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Pat? Yeah.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Two Irishmen together.- Pat, please.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30So, Bernie from Lords of the Manor against Pat on Arts & Books.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Let's see what happens. Please go to the Question Room.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- Bernie, tell us what you do for a living.- I'm a carpenter.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40That's basically what I do.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Some brilliant trades we're getting through here. You've been doing that how long?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48When I first started off I worked for a company.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51We used to do Underground trains and buses.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Then I moved into banks.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Not robbing them! CHUCKLES
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Refitting counters, that type of general stuff.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Now it's more low profile because of my age.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I'm not really looking for work, but if it comes along I do it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Have you ever banged your thumb with a hammer?- Many a time.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- There's no way of avoiding that! - And my head!
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Well, I hope that doesn't disrupt your memory of Arts & Books.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Would you like to go first or second?- I think I'll go second.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Pat, your first question.
0:13:30 > 0:13:37The full title of the ETA Hoffmann story that forms the basis of the ballet The Nutcracker
0:13:37 > 0:13:40is called The Nutcracker And The... what?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Ah! I've genuinely only seen this as the ballet.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I think there's a big character in it called the Mouse King.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I think it's The Nutcracker And The Mouse King.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You are right. The Mouse King is the right answer.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Bernie, your question.
0:14:02 > 0:14:08The American author Ogden Nash is most associated with what form of writing? Is it...
0:14:13 > 0:14:16It's going to be a total guess.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I'm going to go for tragic plays.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- It's almost the opposite. It's humorous poetry.- Mm.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27You might say ditties, I suppose. Anyone know a famous...?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I shoot the hippopotamus with bullets made of platinum
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Because if I use leaden ones his hide is sure to flatten 'em.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Brilliant!
0:14:34 > 0:14:38DAVE: Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I remember something about a duck, but anyway.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Humorous poetry, Bernie. Sorry. Pat has the second question.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49What was the name of the series of portraits by Sir Peter Lely
0:14:49 > 0:14:52commissioned in the 1660s by the Duchess of York,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56featuring some of the most important female courtiers of the day?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I'm not familiar with these portraits.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Looking at the various options,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15it's Windsor Castle, Greenwich Palace and St James's Palace.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Courtiers, you would imagine,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22would ply their courtier trade around the palace.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I think until fairly recently,
0:15:25 > 0:15:31St James's Palace was the main home of the British royal family,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33as opposed to Buckingham Palace.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35The Court of St James.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40On that basis, I'll go for the St James's Beauties.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Daphne is shaking her head. Daffers?
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- I think it's the Windsor Beauties. - Tell us why you think that, Daphne.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Well, I've heard of the series. - In the 1660s?- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56She's right, Pat. Windsor Beauties. You got one wrong.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58The Eggheads are getting a bit slippy.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Falling around a little bit. Maybe there's a way to the 30,000. Here we go.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Your question, Bernie. In the children's picture books,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10what is the name of the witch created by Valerie Thomas?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Um...
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I don't think it's Whitney.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28It's going to be a guess. I'm sorry. I would go for Wendy.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32It's not Whitney. It's not Wendy. It's Winnie, Bernie. I'm sorry.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34We're talking Winnie the Witch.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Amazing drawings in those books! Who drew them?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- Not Quentin Blake, is it? - I don't think it is Quentin Blake.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44It's that scraggly hair crazy drawings.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50- DAPHNE: We'll look it up. - You look things up in your brains! You don't look things up.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52We do!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55The situation is that the Eggheads have one point.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58The challengers have still not scored a point in this round.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Pat, if you get this right, you'll be in the final round.
0:17:01 > 0:17:07Port Moresby and his wife Kit are characters in which novel by Paul Bowles?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I think Fahrenheit 451 is by Ray Bradbury.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And The Spire's by William Golding.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I don't like the options, so I'll have to go for The Sheltering Sky.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Do you think he's got it right? - Sounds like it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Yeah, it does, doesn't it? It is The Sheltering Sky.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Pat, you've booked your place in the final. Sorry, Bernie.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46You've been knocked out by our Egghead and you won't be in the final round. Please come back to us.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49One more round before the final.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54The Lords of the Manor have lost three brains from that last round.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00The Eggheads have not lost any. Let's see if you can turn it around. The next subject is Science.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Who wants this?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05You up to do Science?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- I'll take it on. - Michael's going to take Science.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Against which Egghead? It can be Daphne or Barry.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Daphne?- Daphne, please.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Michael from the Lords of the Manor versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Please go to the Question Room.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Hope you do well, Michael. It's Science. You're up against Daphne.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- She has quite scientific moments. Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:18:33 > 0:18:41So, in a right-angled triangle, if one angle is 60 degrees, what must the third angle measure?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Not ten or 20. I believe it's 30.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- To make 90 degrees. - 30 is the right answer. Well done.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Here we go, Daphne,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56with your question.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00What type of medication is used to clear a blocked nose?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02DAPHNE LAUGHS
0:19:05 > 0:19:09This should be Chris's question, shouldn't it? Bless him.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Decongestant.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Decongestant is the right answer.
0:19:14 > 0:19:20- You got some for when you get Chris's cold?- I'm NOT getting it!
0:19:20 > 0:19:22JEREMY LAUGHS
0:19:22 > 0:19:24One each. Back to you, Michael.
0:19:24 > 0:19:31Which chemical element, discovered in 1803, takes its name from the Greek word for smell or odour?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I don't know at all.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41I'm going to have a guess at Caesium.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43No. It's...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46In a way, the closest to "odour" is osmium.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50It's that word. Osmium is the right answer, not Caesium. Sorry.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Daphne has a chance to go ahead.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Here is your question, Daphne.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57The fieldfare belongs to which group of birds?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The fieldfare belongs to which group of birds?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Oh, it's a thrush.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- Not the finch?- No.- Or the tit?- No. It's a thrush.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Thrush is the right answer. OK, she's ahead.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18We're in the situation we were in before, Michael.
0:20:18 > 0:20:24We need to get this question right to hold her off. The remorseless march of Daphne!
0:20:24 > 0:20:29In 1955, Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein gave their names
0:20:29 > 0:20:32to a manifesto on the dangers of what?
0:20:36 > 0:20:41I think they spoke about nuclear weapons a lot further back.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I think I'm going to go for global warming.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Might have been a bit early for that, I'm thinking.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Nuclear weapons is the answer. - I wouldn't have got that.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59No way back. Two wrong questions. Daphne has taken the round.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Daphne, you will be in the final round. Sorry, Michael.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08It's going to be a lonely business. One Lord of the Manor left for the final, but he can do it.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Let's see what happens. Do return to your teams.
0:21:12 > 0:21:18This is what we have been playing towards, the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Those who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Difficult bowling, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Michael, Alan, Nick and Bernie from the Lords of the Manor,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- So, Steve, you are on your own. - Yeah.- But we wish you well here.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41You're playing to win the Lords of the Manor £30,000, no small jackpot.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Dave, Daphne, Chris, Barry, Pat,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48you're playing for something that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53I will ask each team three questions in turn. The questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55You are allowed to confer.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00I don't know who you'll confer with! If there's someone there, you can.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Steve, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Can you take them down? It's been done.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Would you like to go first or second?- First please, Jeremy.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Steve, good luck against the Eggheads. Here we go. Big jackpot.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Traditionally, a sickle was mainly used for what purpose?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Well, it's definitely not rinsing wool.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34And drying hops would be an oast.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I think it's harvesting cereals.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Harvesting cereals is the right answer.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Off the blocks. Let's see what happens to these Eggheads.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46In architecture, what is the usual name
0:22:46 > 0:22:50for the room similar to a conservatory or greenhouse,
0:22:50 > 0:22:55originally built to grow exotic fruits and plants in cool climates?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02ALL: Orangery.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06There's a famous example of this in Chatsworth Palace in Derbyshire.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- It is an orangery. - It is indeed an orangery.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Steve, back to you.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Keep calm and carry on.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21With which of these people is the archery bow known as a yumi particularly associated?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Spelled Y-U-M-I.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32It wouldn't be a Samurai, cos they use swords.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35But it does sound Japanese in origin.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40I don't think it'd be a Cossack, so I'm torn between Apache and Samurai.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46I'm going to go against my first instinct and go Samurai.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I'm so glad you did. You got it right. Samurai.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Japanese word, I guess. You like the culture of Japan, Barry.
0:23:55 > 0:24:01- Tell us more about the Yumi. - I believe it's the bow they normally use on horseback.
0:24:01 > 0:24:07The Japanese are very adept at being able to turn quickly
0:24:07 > 0:24:11and fire at targets on horseback cos they've got very interesting stirrups.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16You can put your whole foot through it instead of part of it on a western stirrup.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Contrary to what Steve said, it's swords and bows with Samurai?
0:24:19 > 0:24:24The Samurai were more famous for bows and archery than they ever were for swords.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Interesting. Thank you. Your second question, Eggheads.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Which actress played the CIA agent Nicky Parsons in three Bourne films?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Julia Stiles, I think.- OK.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45A CIA agent in the Bourne Films. I don't know. Go on, Pat!
0:24:45 > 0:24:49We're all agreed on this one. We believe it's Julia Stiles.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I've seen all those Bourne films and I couldn't answer that.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Julia Stiles is the right answer, well done. Julia Stiles.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00It's two points each. This is the critical question.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Get this question right and then, who knows?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07You're playing well. Take your time.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11What was the real name of the boxer known as Sugar Ray Robinson?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I don't know this. It's going to be a guess.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25I'm torn between John George Harper and Walker Smith Jr.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29I'm going to go for Walker Smith Jr.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Any reasoning on that? - Just fancy the name.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Dave, we were talking about Sugar Ray Leonard.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Yeah.- Who's younger and later. Is this the right answer?
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- Yeah, definitely.- You got it right! Three out of three!
0:25:44 > 0:25:49This is the time to bring on that spurt of power.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51You've done brilliantly, Steve.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55On your own, it's very difficult. Three out of three.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Couldn't have done any more, so we see what happens to the Eggheads.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I will just mention that jackpot,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04the highest I've ever seen on Eggheads, £30,000.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07All you have to do is nothing.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10They just have to get this one wrong.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Which historic London townhouse is also known by the address Number 1, London?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24This is the famous townhouse of the Duke of Wellington.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26It is Apsley House.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31You've given us your answer, Apsley House. Who lives there now?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Nobody lives there. It's a museum, and a very fine one, too.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37The answer is correct.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Sometimes three is enough, but not today.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48They're in pretty good form, that's why it's £30,000 that you're playing for.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53We go to Sudden Death. It's harder because I don't give you alternative answers.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59Cucaracha is the Spanish word for which insect?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Cucaracha? - I'll spell it for you.
0:27:01 > 0:27:08C-U-C-A-R-A-C-H-A. Cucaracha. It's all one word.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Well, cucaracha. There's a song, The Cucaracha.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I'm thinking of locust?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18It's not locust.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- It's cockroach.- Cockroach!
0:27:21 > 0:27:24You certainly wouldn't get that.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It's OK. It's not over.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Eggheads, if you get this right, it will be over. Your first Sudden Death question.
0:27:32 > 0:27:39Which store is famous for sponsoring a Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City, dating back to 1924?
0:27:39 > 0:27:44- I'm thinking of Macy's. - Anyone else think it's Macy's?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Don't think it's Bloomingdale's.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- DAPHNE: It's Macy's. - Happy with that?- Yeah.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51We all seem to be happy with that.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55We believe the store that gives the famous Thanksgiving Day is Macy's.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Macy's is the correct answer, so we say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09A lot of challengers, if they get three right in the final round,
0:28:09 > 0:28:13it's enough and you go down on the third question, but not today.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Commiserations to the Lords of the Manor - or Lord of the Manor, with the other four back there.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and this impressive winning streak continues.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26That means you won't be going home with the £30,000.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29We now roll that money over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Join us to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41£31,000 says they don't.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Till then, goodbye.
