0:00:05 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is... can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 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 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And taking on our awesome quiz champions today are...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This team of friends all attend Durham University.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45They're members of the Castle College Rowing Club.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Ed. I'm 20 years old and I'm a politics student.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'M Alex. I'm 21 and I study natural sciences.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Adam. I'm 20 and I study natural sciences.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Peter. I'm 21 and I study engineering.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Elliot. I'm 19 and I study French and Spanish.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- So, Ed and team, welcome, good to see you. Durham University?- Indeed.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I think that's probably the best university, isn't it, Eggheads?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Well, you'd know.- I'm not at all biased there.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17And you're at Castle College, so tell us about Castle.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Well, we're seen as the most prestigious college on top of
0:01:20 > 0:01:23another college called Hatfield, which is our main rival.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Can you see I'm gritting my teeth slightly here...
0:01:26 > 0:01:29..as a Hatfield person. OK, carry on.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We all met through our rowing club,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34which also is the most prestigious rowing club...
0:01:34 > 0:01:38And, sort of, yeah, got together and started quizzing together
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and thought we'd really like to pit ourselves against the Eggheads
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- to see how we do here.- Brilliant.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Hatfield and Castle are both on this peninsula in Durham -
0:01:46 > 0:01:48some of you may know this.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52And it means you've got three sides of a river going round there
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- so you've got plenty of space to row, haven't you?- Yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57But I was always amazed when I was at university there... I didn't row,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and I was always amazed how early the rowers got up in the morning.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- What is it, 5am or something? - Too early. It's almost off-putting.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Through winter, through ice, through snow, five o'clock in the morning.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08It's not natural.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:10 > 0:02:12up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Now, Rowers' Rendezvous, I can tell you that the Eggheads have been on
0:02:19 > 0:02:23quite a streak. They have won the last 30.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So that means there's £31,000 up today for you.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30A higher jackpot than I've ever seen since I started doing the programme.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Would you like to have a go?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- I'd love to.- All right.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36That'll be a lot of nights in the Castle bar.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And you'll be buying the drinks as well!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject
0:02:40 > 0:02:43of Film and Television. So who would like this?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47THEY CHATTER
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Do you fancy it?- OK. - Go first.- Yeah, go on then.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Elliot. Film and TV against which Egghead? You can have any of them.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Daphne?- Daphne.- Daphne, yeah. - Daphne, please.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00OK, so it is Elliot from Rowers' Rendezvous against our Daphne.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- Film and TV, you like that, don't you?- Yeah.- She watches a lot!
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Let's see how you do.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Please go to the Question Room to ensure there's no conferring.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12So it's Film and Television, Elliot,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16I'll go first, please.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Here we go and good luck to your team.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24James Arthur won which TV talent show in 2012?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Um...well, I don't watch any of these, unfortunately.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36But I'm pretty sure it won't be Strictly Come Dancing.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So that kind of only leaves...
0:03:40 > 0:03:44the other two, and I think I might have heard...um...
0:03:44 > 0:03:46in the kind of run up to Christmas, The X Factor single,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50it kind of rings a bell so I'm going to go for X Factor.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52X Factor is the right answer.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Daphne, your question.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00In the first two series of the TV programme An Idiot Abroad,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03who did Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant
0:04:03 > 0:04:06send travelling round the world?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I didn't watch it.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17But I do believe it's Karl Pilkington.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Poor guy. Yes, known as the idiot.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Karl Pilkington is the right answer, well done.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23One point each. Back to you, Elliot.
0:04:23 > 0:04:29Who directed the 2012 film The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I know this one - it's Peter Jackson.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38After Lord Of The Rings, obviously.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Peter Jackson is the right answer, well done.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Daphne, here's your question. See if you can catch up.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Ahmed Best provided the voice of which character, who first appeared
0:04:50 > 0:04:53in Star Wars Episode I, The Phantom Menace?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I don't know, I've never seen any of the Star Wars films.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Um...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Sorry, team. Um...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Jar Jar Binks.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Is she right?- Yeah.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19She's just amazing at guessing. I really don't know how she does it.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Is it right?- Yes, it is right, Jar Jar Binks.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You haven't seen that amazing, crazy horse with...
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- That's right, isn't it?- Yeah. - With a Jamaican-style...- No.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- No, nothing?- No.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I just don't know how you get that. Supernatural!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Sorry, Elliot, that's what she does.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37OK, your question.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Which actress played Ray Winstone's daughter Eleanor
0:05:41 > 0:05:44in the short-lived 1990s TV sitcom Get Back?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I have absolutely no clue.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I don't think it'll be Kate Winslet
0:05:54 > 0:06:00because I think she'd probably get a bigger role than a '90s sitcom.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03So I'm going to go for Tilda Swinton.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07No, it's Kate Winslet.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10OK, so Daphne, with this third question, you can take the round.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Who directed a documentary about the Save The Children Fund,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16which was shelved for over 40 years
0:06:16 > 0:06:19and finally shown as part of a retrospective in 2011?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Ken Loach.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Ken Loach is the right answer, Daphne. You've done it again.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Daphne, well done, it's your round.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Elliot, sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34You won't be in the final round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Please both of you come back to us and we'll play on.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39So, as it stands,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Rowers' Rendezvous have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46What kind of rowing analogy have we got here? Man overboard!
0:06:46 > 0:06:51- Man overboard...- Not quite that.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54You've caught a crab, what's that? What is catching a crab?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56When your oar gets caught, is it?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58It's some special kind of water physics that goes on that
0:06:58 > 0:07:00kind of drags you under.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Drags the oar under? - It just goes like that.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05OK, the next subject is Sport, so which of you would like this?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I'm sure this is a good one for you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Pete should go? - Year, I'm going to go for it.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Or Adam, if cricket comes up. - I've got it, don't you worry.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Peter against which Egghead? Obviously can't be Daphne.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Judith?- Judith.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Judith's hiding... - She is hiding there.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Do you watch the programme, by any chance?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- We do.- I thought maybe you did.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27OK, Peter from Rowers' Rendezvous against Judith,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- but you've had some good ones on sport recently.- I have, yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- I've changed.- She's changed, yes.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34She's different now.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35OK, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Peter, you're very sporty.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I try my best.- It's not just the rowing, it's rugby as well.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Yeah, play for the college team. We're doing quite well this year.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51We have our final...a week today.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- What position do you play in? - Second row.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56And you also did a thing called The Lumley Run,
0:07:56 > 0:07:57which is to Lumley Castle, isn't it?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- And what position did you finish in there?- I came first.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04That was first term, first year of university. First place.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I think Elliot was in the same race as me and the other boys there
0:08:07 > 0:08:09have all done it as well but, yeah, first place, it was good.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12You know Lumley Castle, Judith? Is that one of your haunts?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14No, it isn't. What's that, a marathon?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17The equivalent of a marathon or something from Durham?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- I think it's eight miles or so. - Eight and a half miles, yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Lumley Castle was some of our old halls of residence
0:08:23 > 0:08:25so it's from there back to our castle.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- And how many people were you racing against?- 15.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- 15 every time. That must be a killer.- It's a long way, yeah.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35This'll be worse - sport with Judith.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I guarantee this will be tougher.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38You will have your work cut out.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Yeah, cos she's been playing really well recently.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So you can choose whether you want to go first or second, Peter.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45I'll go first, please.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50OK, here we go.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54After the success of Team GB at the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58a number of post-boxes around the country were painted which colour?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Um...I think I remember reading somewhere that due to the
0:09:07 > 0:09:12successes and how many golds we got, they were painted gold.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14So I'll go with gold.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Gold is correct.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18OK, Judith, your question.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23The clean and press was part of which sports Olympic programme?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Well...I think it sounds more like weightlifting than anything else.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I'm rather nervous of weightlifting because I said weightlifting
0:09:35 > 0:09:39for something else and it was completely wrong.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Um...
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I think it's weightlifting, nonetheless.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Weightlifting is the right answer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51OK, Peter, what is the approximate capacity of the Six Nations
0:09:51 > 0:09:52rugby venue in Twickenham?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I should know this - I've been.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I don't think it's 82,000, I think 82,000's too big,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06but they did just get a south stand recently,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08and did that increase capacity?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I'm going to shoot down the middle with 62,000, please.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16This is a sport that Judith likes, actually, I think.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You like a bit of rugby?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- I do, yes.- You like to admire the passages of play.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- You know the answer here?- Well, no.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- But I think I'd have said 62,000, too.- Anyone disagree?
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- 82,000.- 82,000 is the answer. Barry's got that, Peter, sorry.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39It's big. Chelsea is 43, I think so nearly twice as big as Chelsea.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41That's enormous, isn't it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44OK, your question, Judith. If you get this you go into the lead.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Which of these footballers was appointed
0:10:46 > 0:10:48captain of the England team in 1974?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Honestly!
0:10:55 > 0:10:571974?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58We've all forgotten that.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Bobby Charlton.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Bobby Charlton is wrong.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Emlyn Hughes is right.- Right.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13So, that's quite handy, Peter.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15If we're on the Lumley Run, you've just drawn level with
0:11:15 > 0:11:17the leader.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Time for the final push. - Yeah, exactly.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Here we go, third question.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23In 2011, Lauren Taylor was
0:11:23 > 0:11:26named as the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28for her achievement in which sport?
0:11:33 > 0:11:39Lauren Taylor. It doesn't ring a bell at all. Erm...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42What's pulling me?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Women's golf, that could be a good... I'm going to go with golf, please.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Yeah, really good, you're right. Golf is the correct answer.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Very, very good indeed.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Very good.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56So, Judith, the pressure on you now.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Here's your question. Third question.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00If you get this wrong... we know what happens.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02We don't even want to say.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05In baseball, what term is used to describe a player's
0:12:05 > 0:12:08feat of striking out four times in a single game?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17It can't be the golden sombrero.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20It couldn't be, could it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I don't know. I'm going to say ground out.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Any of the Challengers know? Is she right?- Don't have a clue.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- It's the golden sombrero. - Oh, for goodness' sake!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Honestly!- The one that looked made up was the real one.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- You knew that, Daphne.- How idiotic! - Daphne knew that.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- Daphne would!- Sorry, Judith. - How do you know that?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47I'd heard the expression relating to baseball.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50And since it came up I thought, "OK."
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Cos it's almost unforgettable, if you've heard it.- Yes.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Judith, that means you've been knocked out and Peter,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- well done, you're in the final round.- Thank you very much.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00That's good news for your team.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02So, we got £31,000 that we're playing for here.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06The stakes are very high indeed. Please come back, we'll play on.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10As it stands, the Rowers' Rendezvous have still lost a brain
0:13:10 > 0:13:13but the Eggheads have also now lost a brain as well.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15The next subject for you is Arts and Books.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Who would like this?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Alex.- I'll take that one.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Alex, OK, against which Egghead?
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Um...I think I'll take Barry on. Barry and his shirt on.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- That is a fantastic shirt today, Barry.- Thank you.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Alex from Rowers' Rendezvous versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Arts and Books, Barry. Loves his books, be warned.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39So would you like to go first or second, Alex?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I would love to go first, please.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Alex, here we go, good luck.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47In books by Enid Blyton,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51which of the Famous Five is the owner of Timmy the dog?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Famous Five, long time ago.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I think it's George.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04I kind of remember something like that. George.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07This could be a very hard question, particularly... You're young.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Enid Blyton was around decades before you were born.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14But you got it right, Alex, well done. George is correct.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Respect. OK, over to you, Barry. Barry and the shirt.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Since 1986, a house in New Street, Headington, Oxford
0:14:23 > 0:14:26has had a sculpture of what type of creature embedded in its roof?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I've never heard of a cow or a giraffe embedded in a house's roof.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36But I have seen pictures of a shark in a roof.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38So I presume this is the one we're talking about.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40So the answer is shark.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44The correct answer is shark, well done.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Alex, your question, second question.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49The fictional English village of Pagford
0:14:49 > 0:14:53is the setting for a 2012 novel by which writer?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02OK, EL James wrote Fifty Shades Of Grey, and that's in a city.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06So it's between Jackie Collins and JK Rowling.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I believe it's JK Rowling.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Very sure-footed play. Do you know which book it was, out of interest?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12I've no idea.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15It's the adult one that she did after the Harry Potter ones,
0:15:15 > 0:15:16The Casual Vacancy.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18JK Rowling is quite right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Your second question, Barry.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Arthur Wing Pinero, who was born in 1855,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29was an important figure in which area of the arts?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38He was very famous for his plays set in the theatre of the absurd,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41so he was an important figure in the theatre.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Theatre is the right answer.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- It's hard to throw this guy off, isn't it, Alex?- Oh, it's difficult.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Sticking to you like glue here so try and get this one right,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51see what happens, and then maybe book your place in the final.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55A sign advertising Phillies Cigars
0:15:55 > 0:15:59is depicted in a well-known 1942 work by which American artist?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I don't know much about art.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11So it's going to be a bit of a sin and a guess. I'm going to say...
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Edward Hopper.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16You're right.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Edward Hopper's right. Just help me with the painting though, anyone.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Nighthawks?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I believe it's Nighthawks.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26That's the cafe, is it, with the guy in the hat and all that?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Edward Hopper's right, well done, you got three out of three,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31you can't do better than that. OK, Barry, your question.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Barry, if you get this wrong, you're not in the final.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Which author, who died in 1992,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38was best known for his science fiction works,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41published several collections of lewd limericks towards
0:16:41 > 0:16:42the end of his life?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Well, they were all known for science fiction work so Isaac Asimov
0:16:50 > 0:16:54was probably the most serious writer of science amongst them.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58But died in 1992, I think that was Arthur C Clarke.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I shall go for Arthur C Clarke.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Barry, you've been knocked out.- Oh!
0:17:03 > 0:17:08It's Isaac Asimov. So you're not in the final round. Well played, Alex.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Straight through there for our rower
0:17:10 > 0:17:13and the second one in a row who's knocked an Egghead out.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15This is getting to be quite a contest.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21As it stands, Rowers' Rendezvous have lost just the one brain
0:17:21 > 0:17:23from the final round. The Eggheads have now lost two.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26They've had this period where they've been getting all
0:17:26 > 0:17:28the questions right and not been knocked out.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29People have been reduced to one.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32That's not happening to you, you're doing really well.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33The next subject is Politics.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- Who would like this?- I'll take that. - OK, so it's Ed against which Egg?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Um...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Pat, please.- OK.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Ed from Rowers' Rendezvous on Politics against Pat.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Look at Pat - he's gearing up now.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51He's trying to stop the tide. Please go to the Question Room.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55All right, good luck.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I know students are political, to some degree, sometimes,
0:17:58 > 0:17:59and we'll see how political you are.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02You're doing Politics against Pat from the Eggheads
0:18:02 > 0:18:04and you can choose, Ed, whether you go first or second.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'll go first.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Here's your first question.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14What name is usually given to a combination of two people
0:18:14 > 0:18:17for candidacy in an election on the grounds that they
0:18:17 > 0:18:20are considered an ideal partnership?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Erm...
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I wouldn't say it's Odd Couple cos that wouldn't really make sense.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Deadly Duo...
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I don't really...
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Never heard of that. I've got an inkling it's Dream Ticket.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I'll go for Dream Ticket, please.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Dream ticket is quite right. - Thank you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53OK.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Pat, for what does the letter E stand in the name
0:18:56 > 0:18:59of the US Government agency known as FEMA?
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Which is F-E-M-A.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05My first thought...
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I've a faint recollection in the wake of the Katrina
0:19:09 > 0:19:10disaster in New Orleans...
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I've a faint recollection of FEMA being mentioned in the context.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'll go for emergency.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23It is the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25so you're right, Pat, with emergency.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30It was given a real pounding after New Orleans for not being
0:19:30 > 0:19:32up to the job.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33OK, Ed, your question.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37General Jaruzelski was the last communist leader of which country?
0:19:42 > 0:19:47Well, I know... I think that Yugoslavia and Romania...
0:19:47 > 0:19:51were more under the communist bloc, so...
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I think Poland was given much more autonomy
0:19:55 > 0:19:59and this is really not a great question for me.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04But I'll probably go for Poland, please.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Poland is correct.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Excellent play.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12So he was unseated in the Revolution, was he?
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Lech Walesa...- Lech Walesa took over, right, from Solidarity.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20So he went from being army general and leader to being...
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Mr Jaruzelski pottering round his allotment.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26That's what happens in revolutions if you're lucky.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Pat, here's your question.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Mohamed Morsi became president of which country in 2012?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Saudi Arabia is ruled by a king from the House of Saud,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42so they wouldn't have a president.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Libya had enormous upheaval after Gaddafi went
0:20:45 > 0:20:50but I think Mohamed Morsi became president of Egypt.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53And it hasn't all been plain sailing since then.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55You're quite right, Egypt is the answer.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- So, again, it's toe-to-toe, isn't it, Ed?- Yeah.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04And again if you do what a couple of your colleagues did
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- and get this one right, you may push him over the edge.- Maybe.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12In 2012, Sir Howard Davies began work in his role as chairman
0:21:12 > 0:21:17of a commission assessing potential changes to what in Britain?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's not going to be aviation.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'd say the NHS is probably more prevalent
0:21:28 > 0:21:33and seems as the obvious answer so I'll go for that, please.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It's the wrong answer, I'm afraid. It's aviation.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39So, Pat, you have a chance now to take your place in the final
0:21:39 > 0:21:43after a bit of a bashing for the Eggheads.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Who was the first woman to stand for US vice president
0:21:47 > 0:21:50on behalf of either the Democrats or Republicans?
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Of those three I think Geraldine Ferraro...
0:22:00 > 0:22:03She may have run with Mondale. I'm not sure.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10I'm pretty sure she was the first VP candidate. Geraldine Ferraro.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Geraldine Ferraro is right. You've got three out of three.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16They're very hard to beat when they get three out of three, Ed, I know.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'm sorry, you have been... I won't say thrown overboard.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23We'll stop the rowing analogies. You've been displaced by Pat.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25He'll be in the final.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28If you both come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34It is time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:36 > 0:22:38won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So that's Ed and Elliot from Rowers' Rendezvous,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44and Barry and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:47 > 0:22:52So it is Alex, Adam and Peter and Adam, you're taking charge here?
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Yeah, seems to be.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57And your dream is to work with endangered animals, is that right?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00That would be the dream. I'm not sure how...
0:23:00 > 0:23:03easy it would be to reach it but I think tat would be a lot of fun,
0:23:03 > 0:23:04quite worthwhile.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07OK, let's see if you can endanger the Eggheads here. Good luck.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11You're playing to win, Rowers' Rendezvous, £31,000.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14A very high jackpot on Eggheads.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Daphne, Chris and Pat, you're playing for something that
0:23:17 > 0:23:20money really can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation, which is
0:23:20 > 0:23:22strong at the moment.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30You can confer with each other, gentlemen.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33So, Rowers' Rendezvous, the question is, can you with your three brains
0:23:33 > 0:23:36defeat the Eggheads with their three?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38You don't have to answer that.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Just tell me whether you want to go first to second.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I think we'll be a bit different and go second this time.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47OK.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Moment of tension there for the Eggheads.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Looking a little bit ragged, two of you gone already.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Let's see what happens.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Bingo wings is a slang term commonly used to described flabby
0:23:57 > 0:23:59areas in which parts of the body?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Under the arms.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Very unkind description of the things that happens to some
0:24:09 > 0:24:12ladies of a certain age under the arm.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Under the arm is the right answer.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Your question.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Rowers' Rendezvous, which star sign comes between Leo and Libra?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I don't do star signs at all, that's not something I'd know.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Are you...? I'm February, I'm way closer.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Taurus is...- Would it be three...? - I'm Taurus and that's May.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42When's Leo and...?
0:24:42 > 0:24:43I'm Libra.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I know Cancer's getting to me.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Cancer?- Shall we just go for it?
0:24:50 > 0:24:55- Will we go for it?- I couldn't put anything in there. I've no idea.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's not something we'd know but I think we'll go for Cancer.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00OK. Just sheer potluck, yeah?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Yeah, not much reasoning.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- Funnily enough, I'm Taurus as well. You're May, are you?- Yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08So, could have been that.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11But I wouldn't know the answer. Daphne, you'll know the answer.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I think it's Virgo.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15It is Virgo.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Sorry, guys.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I know you would have known the answer to number one as well.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Bingo wings.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26OK, Eggheads, your second question. Born in 1974 as Kim Schmitz,
0:25:26 > 0:25:32the German internet entrepreneur who was arrested in New Zealand in 2012
0:25:32 > 0:25:35on charges of copyright infringement,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37became known under which name?
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Kim Dotcom.- Kim Dotcom. - Yeah, Dotcom.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Yeah, apparently his alias was Kim Dotcom, Jeremy.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Kim Dotcom is your answer and it is correct.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56You've got your question right.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58So you've put them on the defensive now.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00You've got to get this one right, guys.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03In fact, if you don't get it right, the contest is over.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Cos they've got two.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10In 1918, the Hotel Cecil in London became the first
0:26:10 > 0:26:15headquarters of which branch of the UK armed forces?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- You heard of it? - I've never heard of it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Me neither. Brilliant.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Hotel Cecil.- Hotel Cecil.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28You'd assume the army would already...
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Yeah, the army would already have something.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Where is it? London? - Centre of London.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Probably wouldn't be Navy then.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Well, could be.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40In 1918, the Hotel Cecil in London became the first
0:26:40 > 0:26:45headquarters of which branch of the UK armed forces?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Yeah, it wouldn't be Navy...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- First headquarters. - Yeah, we'll go for RAF.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- Brilliant, you're right, RAF it is.- Well done, boy.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Yes, cos it was the newer part of the armed forces.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Is that right, Chris?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04The RAF was only formed in 1918 out of the Royal Flying Corps
0:27:04 > 0:27:06and elements of the Royal Naval Air Service.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08So it was a brand-new service.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12OK. With your third question you could win this contest, Eggheads.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Cos they got their first one wrong.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15Here it is.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Captain Corcoran features in which work by Gilbert and Sullivan?
0:27:24 > 0:27:28He is the captain of HMS Pinafore.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29It's funny, I was looking at Daphne,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33expecting you to know the answer to that and you were completely blank.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34No, no.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38I was waiting to discuss it and he pre-empted me.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41He just did a kind of speech.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Well, he did it was great conviction and he's right.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It is, as you know, HMS Pinafore.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49So we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59I'm sorry, guys, cos the first question... And those star signs...
0:27:59 > 0:28:01You know what? I wouldn't have known
0:28:01 > 0:28:05and I think maybe you don't read a lot of astrology on campus?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07It's not a subject we can do.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10It's not big on Durham University, I'm sure.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Listen, thanks so much for playing.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13It's been great to see the five of you
0:28:13 > 0:28:16and meet up with my old university again as well.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17I'm sorry you didn't win.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20We say commiserations to Rowers' Rendezvous.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Your winning streak continues.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £31,000
0:28:27 > 0:28:30so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Little bit of a ragged performance today, though.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:37 > 0:28:39have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42£32,000 says they don't.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Until then, goodbye.
