0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38And challenging the awesome might of our quiz champions today are...
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This team of colleagues all work for the same firm of solicitors,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45based in Leicestershire.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46So let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Colin, I'm 50 years old and I'm a company chairman.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Martin, I'm 42, I'm a business development manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Douglas, I'm 52 and I'm a solicitor.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Leanne, I'm 34 and I'm a chartered tax advisor.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 32 and I'm a sales and marketing manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So, Colin and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I know that this is a charity drive that you're doing.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Yes. We're trying to find ways of raising as much money as possible
0:01:15 > 0:01:18for a local hospice charity called LOROS.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22So I suppose this all hinges on you actually winning here.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25That's the one thing we haven't considered here!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27That would be a distinct advantage, yes!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Well, we'll see what they can do,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33although they're curiously unbending when it comes to quiz questions, I must say!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I wish you well with this.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40Everyday, there is £1,000 up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So, Expecting Heavy Losses - and, by the way, I love your name -
0:01:47 > 0:01:50the Eggheads have won the last 31 games,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53so what we can do for you
0:01:53 > 0:01:55is offer you really quite a big jackpot.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Only one thing, or rather five things,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02stands between you and £32,000
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and we know who they are.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Do you want to get started? - Absolutely.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09The first head-to-head battle is on Geography.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Who would like to take Geography?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I think, er, that's you, isn't it, Douglas?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- I think I will. - Douglas in the middle, OK.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Against which Egghead? - Any suggestions? Ladies first?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Very well. - I think ladies first.- Judith.- OK.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Who's the key Eggheads viewer here? Somebody's an expert.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Ah, the gentleman at the end - Ian!
0:02:29 > 0:02:34So Douglas versus Judith on Geography. Good luck to you.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Please go to the Question Room and we'll see how you do.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40OK, good luck in this round.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44It's Geography. You can choose whether you go first or second.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I'd better go second, hadn't I?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- How are we feeling today, Judith? - Very well, thank you.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Turkey has a land border with which of these countries?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02That's Iran.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Iran is quite right.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Over to you, Douglas.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Which European capital is situated where Lake Malaren meets the Baltic Sea?
0:03:15 > 0:03:21Well, I think, the Baltic Sea being up in the northeast of Europe,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25it's going to not be Vienna, so it's either Moscow or Stockholm.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31I don't think Moscow is near the Baltic Sea, so I would say Stockholm.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Stockholm is the right answer. Well done!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Good stuff! OK.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Here we go with your question, Judith Keppel.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45The Beaulieu River flows out into which body of water?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52And "Bowlier", which is the correct pronunciation,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56is spelt B-E-A-U-L-I-E-U.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I thought it was always called the "Bulee" River.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It's only called the "Bulee" River when you are describing it, I think.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm told "Bowlier". We've been through it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I've sailed on the Beaulieu River.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- You think it's "Bulee"? - Yes. Yes, I'm sure it's "Bulee".
0:04:09 > 0:04:12It goes into The Solent.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Ask Kevin, he'll know because it's in Hampshire.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- We love our pronunciations here. - It's "Bulee".- It's...?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- It's "Bulee".- "Bulee".- Never heard it called anything other than that.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25OK, we'll call it "Bulee", just for you.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27And The Solent is the right answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- If you sailed on it, you were never going to get that wrong, were you? - No!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34After all that, Douglas, back to you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Someone described as a Savoyard is native of which part of the world?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Well, that, I'm fairly certain, would be Savoy,
0:04:47 > 0:04:52and why am I suddenly having a blank about where Savoy is?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Erm...
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I would say not Southeast France,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00because I'm fairly familiar with that.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I think, and I'm risking it here,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07I think I will go for Central Italy.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Savoyard is a native of Southeast France, Douglas.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Oh, dear.- You got it wrong. Sorry.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Judith is ahead. If you get this one right, Judith, you take the round.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Let's see. The Rila Mountains form the highest mountain range in which European country?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I've absolutely never heard of them. Erm...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31What country's got good mountains? Erm...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34There's a Hungarian plain...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Bulgaria.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- You went down the right for instinct or...?- No reason.- No reason at all?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43I abandoned that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Bulgaria is the right answer. - I'll have to take it up again.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Douglas, I feel bad. She didn't even know and she just...
0:05:50 > 0:05:55The instinct they play with sometimes, these Eggheads, is quite something!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Judith has won the round on Geography.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Douglas, you won't be in the final.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Expecting Heavy Losses have suffered a light loss.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11This is not the end of it, but there's a little chunk taken out of the team.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Let's see how you do in the next round. The Eggheads have not lost one yet.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19It's Sport we're doing next. Who would like this?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- It's not me.- I'll take that.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24All right, the sportsman against which Egghead?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Are we thinking Barry? - I'm not thinking anything!
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- Barry, please.- Right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Ian from Expecting Heavy Losses against Barry.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Back in the game. He's had quite a few games he hasn't been chosen in. It's now starting again.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Barry, who's now Brain of Britain, will take you on, on Sport.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44To ensure there's no conferring... I should've mentioned that earlier, shouldn't I?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47..please go to the Question Room now!
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Ian, good luck. First or second set of questions? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Here we go.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01The Test match cricketing venue known as The Oval is in which English city?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It's definitely not in Leeds.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I don't believe it's in Liverpool,
0:07:09 > 0:07:10so I'll say London.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13London is correct. Well done.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15OK, Barry, your question.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21In which athletics event did Brendan Foster win a bronze medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Brendan Foster was a very fine long-distance runner
0:07:28 > 0:07:30and he won this medal in the 10,000 metres.
0:07:30 > 0:07:3310,000 metres is absolutely right.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Wasn't he commentating when Mo Farah...
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- So, for him, it was a very emotional experience...- Indeed.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40..to see that Olympic victory in 2012.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42On we go, Ian.
0:07:42 > 0:07:49Which football team signed the Dutch striker Robin van Persie from Arsenal in 2012?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I'm actually a Leicester City fan,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58and we're not quite in the Premier yet but we'll be there soon,
0:07:58 > 0:07:59but I do enjoy football
0:07:59 > 0:08:03and I am 100 percent positive that he joined Manchester United,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05and he's scoring a lot of goals, too.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09It was a very good signing for them. Man United is the right answer.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Van Persie. Any Arsenal fans here?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15No? That's all right, then.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17It could've been a difficult moment.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Barry, what is the nickname of the American gymnast Gabby Douglas
0:08:22 > 0:08:26who won two gold medals at the London 2012 Olympics?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Mm... Now, let me think.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I don't think it was The Flying Ant.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41It's Flying Squirrel or Flying Chinchilla.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44There's not many chinchillas in North America,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47so I think it was The Flying Squirrel.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49She was indeed The Flying Squirrel. Well done.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Two each. A little bit tense.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Ian, as a fan of the programme, you know that this third question can be crucial.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Stephen Bunting and Scott Waites found fame as leading players in which sport?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08I don't recognise their names, and I do watch a bit of darts
0:09:08 > 0:09:10so I'll rule that out first.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15I don't watch any bowls or squash, so I'm going down a 50-50 route here
0:09:15 > 0:09:19and... I'll opt for squash.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It's not. We had a squash question the other day.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's not squash, though. Darts is the answer, Ian. Sorry.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Barry, if you get this right, you're in the Final Round.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31In the US, the Maxwell Award
0:09:31 > 0:09:34and the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award
0:09:34 > 0:09:38are given annually to outstanding college players in which sport?
0:09:42 > 0:09:47The Maxwell Award and the Walter Camp Award...
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I thought the Heisman Award
0:09:49 > 0:09:52was the award for college players in American football
0:09:52 > 0:09:56so I shall discount American football.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59They play a lot more basketball in American colleges.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00I'm not too sure if they play baseball,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04but because I've not heard of it, I'll go for baseball.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07It's funny, both this question and the last one with Ian,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09you start by discounting the correct answer.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12In this case, American football is correct.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Ian, you're still in with a chance very much.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18We go to Sudden Death. You're level after three.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22It gets a bit harder because I don't give you alternatives.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25The sports broadcaster Matthew Syed
0:10:25 > 0:10:28was an England number-one in which sport?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31The name does ring a bell. I don't know why
0:10:31 > 0:10:36but cricket came to mind as soon as you said the name, so I'm going to opt for cricket.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39No, the answer is table tennis.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Barry, your question.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Claudio Caniggia earned 50 caps
0:10:44 > 0:10:47playing for which national football team?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I'm toying between two teams, Italy and Argentina,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53because it definitely sounds a Latin name.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I'll go for Argentina.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58You played well. You got it right. Argentina is the right answer.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Ian, you've been knocked out,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03but a very tight sporting round there.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Both of you, rejoin your teammates.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11OK, as it stands, Expecting Heavy Losses have had their expectations met somewhat
0:11:11 > 0:11:13because they've lost two brains,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16but there's plenty of time and you can win with just one person left.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19The Eggheads are still intact here.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22The next subject is Arts & Books. Who would like this?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Is that me?- It's got to be you. - It's you.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- That's me, apparently.- Leanne. OK.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Choose an Egghead, Leanne.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Let's go with Pat.- Pat.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36Leanne from Expecting Heavy Losses, expecting to win - let's say that -
0:11:36 > 0:11:39versus Pat from the Eggheads on Arts & Books.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Please take your positions.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Good luck. Arts & Books the subject. Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Here we go with your first question. Good luck.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55In Michael Bond's Paddington Bear books,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00the part of the world from which Paddington comes is described as what?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08This is about my standard of question with young daughters,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12so that one, I'm pretty confident, is Darkest Peru.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Spot on. Darkest Peru is right. Well done.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17OK, Pat, your question.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20The comic verse known as the Clerihew
0:12:20 > 0:12:23normally comprises how many lines?
0:12:25 > 0:12:31"Geography is about maps and biography is about chaps" -
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I think that's a classic Clerihew.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Could that be described as being four lines?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I think a Clerihew is just shorter than a limerick,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44so I think it's four.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Four is the right answer. But was that a Clerihew?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50No, I have second thoughts now. It might not be a Clerihew.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I think it was a quote from the man who created Clerihews,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56but I don't think it's a Clerihew itself.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- Would you have got that one, Leanne? - I'd have probably guessed, but I wouldn't have known it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03"Early Sunday Morning",
0:13:03 > 0:13:08a 1930 painting of an empty stretch of street, is a work by which American artist?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I'm not sure on this one. Erm...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19My mind has gone blank as to when...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22..any of these names would've been around,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26so I'm going to have to take a bit of a punt.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I think I will go for...
0:13:31 > 0:13:32..Edward Hopper.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Edward Hopper is the right answer. - HE LAUGHS
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Excellent work.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40You're very much in it. In fact, you're ahead.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Pat, what is the profession of Sydney Carton,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48one of the central characters of the Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55There's Charles Darnay and there's Sydney Carton,
0:13:55 > 0:14:00and one sort of voluntarily takes the other's place
0:14:00 > 0:14:02on the way to the guillotine
0:14:02 > 0:14:04in an act of self-sacrifice.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Of those three options,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I find it hard to believe he's an executioner.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I'm not sure. I really don't know.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I'll go for lawyer but I won't be surprised if it's debt collector.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Lawyer is your answer. I shall check with the lawyers over here.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22We don't know.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Pat, you're right. It's a lawyer. So you've both got two.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Leanne, your question.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Which author, born in 1892,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33was considered for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1961,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36but lost out because, according to one jury member,
0:14:36 > 0:14:41"his prose has not in any way measured up to storytelling of the highest quality"?
0:14:46 > 0:14:51I'm in two minds here, because I was thinking Tolkien originally
0:14:51 > 0:14:56but then I'm not sure whether he was born after that.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I'll go with my instinct and say Tolkien.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02JRR Tolkien is the correct answer. Three out of three!
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Playing really well, Leanne. Let's see if you can dislodge Pat.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09The German painters Ernst Ludwig Kirchner,
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Erich Heckel and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff
0:15:14 > 0:15:17founded which early 20th-century art group?
0:15:23 > 0:15:29Well, I think if you were listing the founders of Der Blaue Reiter,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I think Kandinsky had a piece of that.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I'm not certain, but I think he did.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Neue Sachlichkeit...
0:15:40 > 0:15:45I would've thought Grosz and Dix would've been included in the list.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48So without any great confidence, I'll go for Die Brucke.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49I'm impressed, I must say,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52but you can have more confidence than that,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Die Brucke is the right answer.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56We go to Sudden Death against Pat.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00You're playing really well, but he is, too, I'm afraid!
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It becomes a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Who wrote the late 1930s novella entitled The Red Pony,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12comprising a series of stories about a young boy named Jody Tiflin
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and his life on his father's ranch?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I don't know that one, but I'd rather a guess a name
0:16:18 > 0:16:21so I'll go with George Orwell.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23John Steinbeck is the answer.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Pat, which painter once wrote
0:16:25 > 0:16:27"At the age of six, I wanted to be a cook.
0:16:27 > 0:16:33"At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since"?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Well...
0:16:35 > 0:16:37..I don't know,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40so I'll have to think of painters who, erm,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43who are good for a good quote.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48In terms of overweening intergalactic ambition and ego,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'll go for Salvador Dali.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Salvador Dali is the right answer, Pat. You've taken the round.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Leanne, you played really well. Just got pipped by him at the post.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Pat will be in the final.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Both of you, please rejoin your teams.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08As it stands, Expecting Heavy Losses have lost three brains,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10the Eggheads have not lost one yet.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13The next subject is Music.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Who would like Music?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Martin.- It's got to be you.- It's me. - Against which Egghead?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Chris.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Against Chris.- OK, so Martin from Expecting Heavy Losses...
0:17:23 > 0:17:24- Chris on Music?- Yep!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27As I always say, it depends what you mean by "music".
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Hit and miss! Let's see how you both do. Please go to the Question Room.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Martin, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I'll go first, please.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Here we go. Which Beatles song features the line
0:17:42 > 0:17:45"Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble"?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52OK, it's not She Loves You.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Er... It's not Yesterday.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57It's Michelle.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00It is Michelle. Will you sing that line for us?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I'd rather not!
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Chris, your question.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Everything I Own, released in 1987,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11was which singer's first solo single?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It's not Michael Jackson.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Er, I think Boy George was Karma Chameleon, wasn't it,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23with the Culture Club, so...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26..after the break-up of The Police, it must've been Sting.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- It wasn't, actually. It was Boy George.- Was it?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33OK, your question, Martin.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36What is the title of Nicki Minaj's song
0:18:36 > 0:18:40that reached number two in the UK Singles Chart in 2012?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I've got no idea.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I'm going to go with Starships.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I'm glad you did, it's correct. Starships.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53OK, Chris,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55"Va, pensiero"
0:18:55 > 0:18:59is a chorus from an 1842 opera by which composer?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06It's from Nabucco by Verdi.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Yes, it is. Verdi is correct.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Martin, your question.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Ian Hunter was best known in the early 1970s
0:19:15 > 0:19:17as the lead singer in which group?
0:19:21 > 0:19:26I don't know this one, either. I'm going to rule out Humble Pie
0:19:26 > 0:19:29and I'm going to go with...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32..Mott the Hoople.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36They're the best-known band. It's the right answer. Well done.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39So no way back for Chris there.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Maybe things are turning now. That was a good win for you, Martin.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Well done. You'll be in the Final Round.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Chris won't. If you come back to us, we will play that Final Round,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51with a substantial jackpot.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56This is what we have been playing towards, the Final Round,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:01 > 0:20:03won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Douglas, Leanne and Ian from Expecting Heavy Losses,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and also Chris from the Eggheads,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:12 > 0:20:17Colin and Martin, you're playing to win Expecting Heavy Losses £32,000.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23you're playing for something that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28The questions are all general knowledge.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31You can confer, OK?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33So, Expecting Heavy Losses, the question is,
0:20:33 > 0:20:38are your two brains able to tear apart the Eggheads' four?
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- Most important of all, do you want to go first or second? - We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Very best of luck to you both.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Part of Morecambe and Wise's stage patter
0:20:50 > 0:20:54involved Eric saying of Ernie's hair, "You can't see the..." what?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Is it...- (It's join.)
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- (Join!)- They say there's questions you know the answer to
0:21:03 > 0:21:05and questions you don't know the answer to,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07and it was a wiser man than I that said this,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11this is one that we do know the answer to, and it's join.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Well done. You're right. Join is right.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Schwarz is the German word for which colour?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Black.- OK with black?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25That is the German for black.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Schwarz means black in German, you're right.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Back to you, Colin and Martin.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32In the expression "20/20 vision",
0:21:32 > 0:21:35to what do the numbers refer?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- I think...- I don't know.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- I'm not 100 percent sure on this one. - I'd say the first one.- Erm...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Number of Letters Read -
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- you can't tell that. - It's not that. Take that one out.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I would suggest that the Height of the Letters on the Chart,
0:22:00 > 0:22:04as they vary, it's unlikely to be based on the height of the letters
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- because you start with small ones and get larger.- Yes.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09As a very uneducated guess,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I think I'd have to say it's based on the Distance from Eye Chart.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- We'll go with that.- Yes?- Yes.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18We're doing a semi-educated guess here, Jeremy,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20and we're going to say it's the Distance from the Eye Chart.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Are they right?- Yes.- You're right.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Distance from the Eye Chart is absolutely right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Eggheads, your second question. £32,000 being played for here.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35The think tank The Hansard Society was founded in 1944 to promote what?
0:22:40 > 0:22:441944... THEY CONFER
0:22:44 > 0:22:48The logical one is Parliamentary Democracy.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Yes.- Could it be anything else?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I don't think it's anything to do with healthcare or trade,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55as far as I'm aware.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59I don't know for sure, but Hansard is the record of goings-on,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02if that's the right phrase, in the Palace of Westminster,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05so the logical answer there is Parliamentary Democracy.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Parliamentary Democracy is correct.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Your third question.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13"The Trouble With Tribbles"
0:23:13 > 0:23:17is the title of an episode of which science-fiction TV series?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Do you know what, I think there was an episode of Star Trek
0:23:25 > 0:23:27when they had those little balls everywhere.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- The Trouble With Tribbles. - I think it is that.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Again, Jeremy, it's another one of our uneducated guesses.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Erm...
0:23:36 > 0:23:39We're going with Star Trek.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42That answer puts you one question away from £32,000.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well done. Star Trek is the right answer.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49You've played a perfect round so far. Three out of three.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Eggheads, if you get this wrong, the money goes to our Challengers
0:23:52 > 0:23:55and we reset it right back to £1,000.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00November 22nd is a commemorative date for Albanians,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04marking the standardisation of the Albanian what?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Did they convert from...
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Are they currently on the standard Western alphabet?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I don't know. Are they on something else?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Without having the faintest idea, I mean, I simply don't know it,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- but that would be my instinct. - You don't know?- No.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31That would be my instinctive answer, the alphabet.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34They were on Cyrillic and they switched?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- I'm inclined to agree with you. - I don't know it,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39the only thing I would think of is that
0:24:39 > 0:24:44you have the two different language and social groups,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46the Ghegs and the Tosks,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49this would be a way of uniting them and bringing them together.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53That's my... That would be my guess, but it is a guess.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- OK?- Yes.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59In Albania, there are a couple of different groups,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03the Ghegs and the Tosks, social, ethnic groups,
0:25:03 > 0:25:08and since this is standardisation, it implies unity.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10On the whole, we think the most likely is Alphabet.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12It could be Calendar, but we'll try Alphabet.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15If you've got it wrong, IF,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18then the jackpot goes to our Challengers,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21but you've got it right, Eggheads. It is Alphabet. Well done.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Three out of three. We go to Sudden Death.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26I don't give you alternatives. Here's your question.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Which actress married Richard Branson's nephew
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Ned Rocknroll
0:25:32 > 0:25:34in December 2012?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37So, he's going to be sort of 30, isn't he?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Yes.- And he's going to marry a...
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- You can tell from the blank expressions we don't have a clue. - Never heard of Ned Rocknroll.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I've never heard of Ned Rocknroll, either.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51So we want a sort of 30-something-ish actress.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56Yes. So, who's of eligible age? Erm...
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Kate Winslet? She's of eligible age.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I don't think it's her. I don't think it's her.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Keira Knightley? Has she recently got married?- I don't think it's her.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I've gone a bit blank, to be honest.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15This is where we need one of the girls who reads trivia magazines.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- Hello! magazine or something. - One of these girly glossy mags.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Erm...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Go with Keira Knightley. - We have no idea at all.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Keira Knightley.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Keira Knightley is your answer. That's a shame, because the answer...
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I think Leanne knows. Do you know?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Leanne?- We think so.- Go on.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40- We think it's Kate Winslet. - Yes. The answer passed your lips.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44I'm looking at it thinking, "My goodness! You sailed past it!"
0:26:44 > 0:26:49- It was Kate Winslet.- No way! - That's frustrating.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53OK, so you've given the Eggheads a chance to take the contest here.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Here is your question, Eggheads, for the contest.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Whom did Nikita Khrushchev once describe as
0:27:00 > 0:27:03"the first Soviet swallow in the cosmos"?
0:27:03 > 0:27:08- Yuri Gagarin?- Valentina Tereshkova? - It's got to be Tereshkova.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- What do you think? - I think Tereshkova was the first Soviet woman in space.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It depends on what they're saying,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19on whether swallow is referring to...
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Gagarin was a very small man, so that doesn't hurt the "swallow".
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- What do you think, Barry? - I'm inclined to think Gagarin
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- rather than Tereshkova.- OK.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33I'm puzzled as to whether "swallow" has any feminine connotation.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Yes. OK.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39I'm outvoted. That's fair enough.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43OK, erm, we've had to take a vote on this one, Jeremy,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45and...
0:27:46 > 0:27:48..we'll say Yuri Gagarin.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Kevin was wrong. It is Yuri Gagarin.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55So we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I'm sorry. Commiserations, Expecting Heavy Losses.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05You played such a tight game at the end.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08As you can see, they just...
0:28:08 > 0:28:11They had both astronauts there
0:28:11 > 0:28:14and they just went for Gagarin and it was Gagarin.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Commiserations to you. The Eggheads have done what comes very naturally at the moment.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23Their winning streak continues. That means you won't be going home with the £32,000,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26which means that money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations. Dare I say, who will beat you?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39£33,000 says they don't.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Till then, goodbye.
