0:00:03 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:14Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:33against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Taking on our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Tooth Fairies.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41They all work for the same dental surgery in Burton on Trent,
0:00:41 > 0:00:47except for Steve who is team captain Donna's father-in-law. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Donna, I'm 31 and I'm a dentist.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56I'm Venay, I'm 25 and I've worked as a dentist for two and a half years.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00I'm Cara, I'm 41, I've been a dentist for 17 years.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04I'm Steve, I'm 63 and I'm a retired physics teacher.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hello, my name is Lesley, I'm 56 and I've been a dental nurse for 33 years.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15Donna and team, welcome to you. So connected through a dental surgery?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Right. Steve's my father-in-law, but we do quizzes together as well.
0:01:19 > 0:01:26He's also my patient, so we thought we'd apply to Eggheads together because we all like a good quiz.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Excellent. Hopefully drilling into this lot here.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36- In a nice way! - So I'm assuming your patients will be watching and cheering you on.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42Only a select few know so far, so hopefully a few will mention it next time we're in.
0:01:42 > 0:01:49Let's hope you do well here. There is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers every day.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54However, if they fail to win it rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57So, Tooth Fairies, this is rather exciting.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02The Eggheads have won the last 34 games. That cuts both ways.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07You've got to try and stop them. They're on great form,
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- but a great jackpot. So it's certainly worth playing.- I think so!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Do you want to start?- Let's start.
0:02:15 > 0:02:23The first head to head is on Science. Tooth Fairies, which one of you wants this?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I think Venay would be the best.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- - Are you happy? - We'll volunteer Venay.- OK.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- And against which Egghead? - Which Egghead?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- I suggest Kevin. - Yes, I think so.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38You're strong on science.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- We're going to decide to go against Kevin.- Venay versus Kevin.
0:02:43 > 0:02:50To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Venay, I'm hoping something dental-related will come up, but science is broad.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01I wish it was to do with dentistry, but I'm sure I can answer quite a few questions to do with science.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07- Did you study that?- I did it during GCSEs and A Levels.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10And I gather you practise an obscure martial art?
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- Yes, I do.- What is that called? - Muay Thai boxing.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Muay Thai boxing?- Yes. - You can use that on Kevin.
0:03:19 > 0:03:25- If he gets too many answers right I might have to do that. - That or the drill!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Yeah.- Good luck. Science. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Em, first, please.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Here we go. Which creatures are most likely to travel together in a V formation?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Well, I don't think it's mice.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I don't think it's ants. I see them
0:03:49 > 0:03:53usually in a straight line if I ever have seen them together.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58I would probably go with birds because I've seen them in a V shape.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04Well, that helps if you've seen it. Birds is the right answer.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06OK, Kevin.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11What name is usually given to an excess of an electrical charge built up on the body of an object?
0:04:16 > 0:04:21You know it when you encounter it. It's static electricity.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Static electricity is right.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26How does one stop getting shocked?
0:04:26 > 0:04:33- Am I wearing the wrong shoes or what?- It just builds up sometimes. Walk away and find another room,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35if that's possible.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41Venay, in 1877, Thomas Edison reproduced the human voice for the first time
0:04:41 > 0:04:45when he recorded himself reciting which rhyme?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'm not actually too sure.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I wouldn't think it was Old Macdonald Had A Farm.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- I would probably go with Mary Had A Little Lamb.- Eggheads?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- That's right. - That's right, Venay. Well done.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09OK, Kevin, your question.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13The crypts of Lieberkuhn are found in which part of the body?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21It's Lieberkuhn. All one word. Lieber is L-I-E-B-E-R.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Then K-U umlaut-H-N.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Crypts...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Crypts implies...
0:05:29 > 0:05:32..hollow space, I suppose.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Crypts, obviously,
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- is C-R-Y-P-T-S as in "crept into"?- Yeah.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Yeah.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49You could make a case for there being areas of hollow space with any of those.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54The percentage guess for these sorts of things is always the brain
0:05:54 > 0:05:59because of the sheer variety in it, but I've never heard of that.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'll try the brain.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Daphne's shaking her head. Daphne?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's the intestines.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- The intestines, Kevin. - Never heard of it.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Well, well, well.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14This is a nice handy start.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Venay, get this right and you've knocked out Kevin.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23Which of these flowers belong to the genus ranunculus?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32The genus...does it indicate it would be something like buttercup?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39I'm not too sure about this. I've never heard of that genus before.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43But I would think it's either snapdragon or lupin.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51- Which is snapdragon.- Snapdragon. You started with buttercup there.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Yes.- I was trying to work out your logic.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57You said it sounds like buttercup?
0:06:57 > 0:07:03- No, I was just thinking buttercup doesn't sound like that genus. - Oh, I see.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09Well, Kevin has only been knocked out on Science twice in the history of Eggheads.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11You've got the wrong answer.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15If you'd said buttercup, it would be the third time.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It may yet. Third question, Kevin.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23Get this wrong and you are out. Which term was chosen by astronomers from Johns Hopkins University
0:07:23 > 0:07:27to describe the colour of the universe?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34This is not going well!
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Obviously a strong coffee connection there.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Unlikely to be Milky Mocha.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49I'm sure I've heard this, but I can't remember which of the others. I don't think it's Milky Mocha.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'll try flat white.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Daphne?- I think he's right. - You think he's right?- Yes.- Wrong!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02It's cosmic latte. Well done, Venay! You are in the final round.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Kevin has been knocked out. I can't believe that answer. Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12I didn't have to use the drill or the Muay Thai.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16A very clean victory for you. Non-violent, well done.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Both of you please come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Donna, that's a good start.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29- It is!- To take down the top player. - Quite unexpected against Kevin. No offence, Venay!
0:08:29 > 0:08:36Only the third time on Eggheads, which is now more than ten years, is that right?
0:08:36 > 0:08:43- Not quite.- It is in terms of years, but if you count months we're not quite there.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Every single fact is challenged. They can't even agree on that.
0:08:47 > 0:08:55- Anyway, three Science rounds only, Kevin...- Yeah.- ..we've seen you go down on.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- They happen.- They happen, but you've got to be a good player.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04The Tooth Fairies have not lost a brain. Eggheads have lost Kevin.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06The next subject is Sport.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Who would like this, Donna?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12It's between Lesley and Cara, I'd suggest. Not me!
0:09:12 > 0:09:18- We're thinking it won't be Cara. Lesley.- I don't want to do it.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Would you like to? - Not really, but I will!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Yeah, OK. - Lesley, please.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- OK, Lesley on Sport. Against? - Come on, Judith. I'll take on Judith.
0:09:29 > 0:09:36- She likes it as much as I do. - Oh, I see. So we've got a sporting void here, have we?
0:09:36 > 0:09:43- Just a wee one.- All right. That can happen. Good luck, Lesley. And good luck, Judith.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49- Thank you.- Not Judith's favourite subject either. Do go to the Question Room.
0:09:49 > 0:09:57- Lesley, rugby is a big part of your life.- It is indeed, yes. - You married a rugby player.- I have.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03- So you have to watch all the games. - I have, yes. Cold, windy weather and all sorts.
0:10:03 > 0:10:10- Any other kinds of sport?- Athletics. - The Olympics was a great moment to focus on them all.- It was.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Oh, dear.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- Lesley, you can choose to go first or second.- I'll go first, please.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Good luck to the Tooth Fairies.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Who was the recipient of the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I know it wasn't Jessica.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I'm sure it's Bradley Wiggins.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Absolutely right. Well done. Bradley Wiggins.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44OK, Judith.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49In 2007, which British Olympian launched the Sporting Giants initiative
0:10:49 > 0:10:51to discover new sporting talent?
0:10:56 > 0:11:02I think of all those it's probably Steve Redgrave.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Steve Redgrave is the right answer.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Back to you, Lesley.
0:11:07 > 0:11:14Mike Denness, who captained the England cricket team in the '70s, was born in which part of the UK?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Really not sure on this at all.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24I'll just go down the right and say Scotland.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Eggheads? Is she right?- Yeah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Oh, you're joking!- Well done.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31OK, over to you, Judith.
0:11:31 > 0:11:38As well as a sizeable purse, the winner of the Kentucky Oaks,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43an annual Grade 1 stakes race for three-year-old fillies,
0:11:43 > 0:11:48traditionally receives a garland of what type of flowers?
0:11:53 > 0:11:59The Kentucky Oaks, presumably, is in America.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04In Kentucky. I'm trying to think what the climate is in Kentucky.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07And I wonder what time of year it is.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12I really don't think it would be fuchsias. I just don't think so.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17It's difficult to make garlands out of irises. They have stiff stalks.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I think it's more likely to be lilies.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24So I'll go for lilies.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Lilies is correct. Brilliant logic.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32It is, of course, in Kentucky in the USA.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37The Kentucky Derby, which will be at the same time as that, roughly,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41is the Run for the Roses. They get a garland of roses.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- If roses had been there, it would have been tricky.- Unless you know.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50OK, two out of two.
0:12:50 > 0:12:57Get this right to put pressure on Judith. Which golfer, who won a total of 11 Majors in his career,
0:12:57 > 0:13:03became the first American-born player to win the British Open, in 1922?
0:13:08 > 0:13:13Golf really doesn't come into my sporting knowledge.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Bobby Jones...
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I'll go...Ben Hogan. I really don't know.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25- Ben Hogan, please.- OK, Ben Hogan. Does anyone on your team know?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Any ideas?- I'd have said Hogan.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Anyone on this side?- Hagen. - It is Walter Hagen.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- OK.- But two out of three. You're not out yet.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Judith still has to get this right.
0:13:38 > 0:13:44What nationality is the skier Ivica Kostelic?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50All these things end in "ic", do they?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Ivica is I-V-I-C-A.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Kostelic is K-O-S-T-E-L-I-C.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Well again, just simply going by the ending,
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Croatians are apt to have "ic" at the end of their names,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08so I would say Croatian.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Croatian is the right answer. A triumph for you on sport!
0:14:13 > 0:14:19Sorry, Lesley. She's knocked you out and she will be in the final round.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Please rejoin your teammates and we'll play on.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28Right, so it's evening up a bit. The Tooth Fairies have lost a brain from the final round
0:14:28 > 0:14:34and the Eggheads have also lost a brain. Kevin, no less. The next subject is Geography.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh, it's my worst subject.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- How good are you? - It's going to be Cara, I think.
0:14:41 > 0:14:47- We've got a willing victim. Cara. - OK, Cara. Now you can't have Judith or Kevin.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- One of the others. - What do you think?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Daphne can guess everything! - She can.
0:14:53 > 0:15:00Chris and trains and geography, probably very good. Dave I'm inclined to go for.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03OK, let's try Dave, please.
0:15:03 > 0:15:10- Ready for it, Dave?- Yeah. - Cara from the Tooth Fairies versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14To ensure there's no conferring, please take your leave of us.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Good luck in this round. It's pretty evenly poised here.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25There's so much at stake. £35,000. Cara, do you want to go first or second?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Oh, I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Here we go. What name is sometimes given to states in the middle of the US
0:15:36 > 0:15:42which are not traditional tourist destinations and are generally flown over from coast to coast?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Handover doesn't sound right.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56Passover, no. I think I'll go straight down the middle Flyover states.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Exactly as it says on the tin. Flyover states is how they're described.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Must be a bit painful
0:16:02 > 0:16:05to live in a flyover state.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- They probably don't notice. - Best example would be Kansas?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Iowa, Missouri.- Dave,
0:16:13 > 0:16:18what name is given to the counties that surround London?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24That's the Home Counties, Jeremy.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28It is indeed. Going out of fashion, that phrase, a bit.
0:16:28 > 0:16:34Back to you, Cara. The Vosges Mountains are located in which part of France?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41And Vosges is V-O-S-G-E-S. Vosges.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Hmm, not sure about this one.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I will plump for east.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53East is your answer. Let me check with Judith, who lives there.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Yes, it is the east.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Correct. Well done.
0:16:59 > 0:17:05Dave, your question. The area of land called Bir Tawil, which is not officially owned by any country,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09lies between Egypt and which other country?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Em, not sure at all, but I'll go down the middle. Libya.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20A pretty good question. I'd never heard of it before.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- It's not Libya. It's Sudan, Dave. - Oh, right, OK.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Can anyone tell us about Bir Tawil?
0:17:26 > 0:17:31It all goes back to when the maps were being drawn up.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36There was a mess up with the mapping. Nobody claimed this or wants it,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39so it's just sort of there as a hole in the map.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- It's desert, I'm assuming. - Desert, yeah.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46How interesting. So the score has you ahead, Cara,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49which is really, really good.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53If you get this right, you've knocked Dave out, simple as that.
0:17:53 > 0:18:00The Bounty Islands in the South Pacific ocean are territorially part of which country?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Bounty Islands.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12It's going to be a guess, Jeremy. I am going to plump for...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15New Zealand.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18You've got it on the nail! Well done, Cara!
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Three out of three. You've knocked out Dave.
0:18:22 > 0:18:29So you will be in the final. This contest really is hotting up. Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36As it stands, the Tooth Fairies have lost one brain. Looking good. I don't want to jinx it,
0:18:36 > 0:18:41but you're playing well. You've lost one, the Eggheads have lost two.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45The last subject before the final is Music.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Who would like Music?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Better be you, Donna. - I'll volunteer.- Donna on Music, OK.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- 10CC had a song called Donna. - My dad used to sing it to me.
0:18:55 > 0:19:01Really? Oh, that dates me. Donna from the Tooth Fairies versus which Egghead?
0:19:01 > 0:19:08- It can be Daphne or Chris. - Just on the basis that I'm sorry you're not feeling very well - Chris.
0:19:08 > 0:19:14I'm not exactly at death's door! Just not firing on all cylinders.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Chris from the Eggheads, Donna from the Tooth Fairies. Prepare to do battle. Do leave us.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24So you have recently given birth to a little girl.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I have. A little girl called Emily. She's four months old.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33Good luck and I hope you do well against Chris. Still ailing?
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- I'll get there, Jeremy. - OK, well, don't play too well.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43- On Music, Donna. First or second? - I'll go second, please.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52Here we go, Chris. What is the name of the man who is asked, "Where's your troosers?"
0:19:52 > 0:19:57in the title of Andy Stewart's 1960 UK Top 40 single?
0:20:00 > 0:20:05# Let the wind blow high Let the wind blow low Through the streets in my kilt I go
0:20:05 > 0:20:09# All the lassies shout, "Hello! "Donald, where's your troosers?" # Donald.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15- If it hadn't been Donald, that would have been hilarious.- It would. - But it is. Well done.
0:20:17 > 0:20:25Donna, how many wheels are on my wagon, in the song by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard?
0:20:27 > 0:20:33It's not coming to mind straight away, but you wouldn't imagine three, so I'm ruling that out.
0:20:33 > 0:20:41Most wagons, in my experience, have four, so unless it's some quirky song title, I'll go for four.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46I don't know the song. Anyone? Daphne? No? Chris...
0:20:46 > 0:20:49# Three wheels on my wagon And I'm still rollin' along
0:20:49 > 0:20:54# The Cherokee are after me They look mad, things look bad... #
0:20:54 > 0:20:57They lost a wheel, Donna. They lost a wheel.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01So three is the answer. Chris is in the lead. Your question.
0:21:01 > 0:21:08In 2012, the video for which song became the first to reach one billion views on YouTube?
0:21:14 > 0:21:21I've said to the people who play it in the pub, I'll go berserk. It's Gangnam Style.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Gangnam Style is correct. Donna, your question.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32When the music company EMI was formed, for what did the letter I stand?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I don't think it's International.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Music Industries... I immediately thought Industry.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51I'm now doubting myself and wondering if it's Incorporated.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Industries or Incorporated.
0:21:57 > 0:22:04Music Industries... I'm going to go for Incorporated, against my better judgment.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10I wish you'd stayed with Industries. Electric and Music Industries is the answer.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Now Chris has got two,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14so there's no way back for you.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Chris is in the final round, Donna. Sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22If you both come back we will play that final.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27This is what we've been playing towards. The final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30But those of you who lost
0:22:30 > 0:22:35won't be allowed to take part. So Donna and Lesley
0:22:35 > 0:22:40and also Kevin and Dave, would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:40 > 0:22:46So Venay, Cara and Steve, you are playing to win the Tooth Fairies £35,000.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52Judith, Daphne and Chris are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:52 > 0:22:59I will ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:59 > 0:23:06Tooth Fairies, are your three brains able to overcome the Eggheads' three over here? Let's see.
0:23:06 > 0:23:13- Would you like to go first or second?- First? - We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Best of luck to you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:26What age was Winston Churchill when he became Prime Minister for the second time in 1951?
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- OK...- '51. I remember the funeral.- Yes.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- In the mid '60s.- Mm-hm.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Sort of 11, 15 years before.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Yes. So 66 sounds fair for then, Steve. OK.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I think we'll go for 66, Jeremy.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53He was older than that. He was 76.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I was born in '65. I think that was the year of his death.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- How old was he when he died? - Well, born in 1873.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05He was old enough to go to the Boer War.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08So in '63 he was 90. So he was 92-ish.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12And he was old enough to fight in the Boer War.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- So he must have been born in 18... - Chris says 1873.
0:24:15 > 0:24:181873, yeah.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21All right. There we go.
0:24:21 > 0:24:2376 is the answer.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28What is the surname of the art historian and nun, Sister Wendy?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- Beckett. - Sister Wendy Beckett.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37She is Sister Wendy Beckett.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Daphne says Beckett and you are correct, Eggheads.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Over to you, Tooth Fairies.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47In Sweden, which day is known as Julafton?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Could you spell that, Jeremy?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58J-U-L-A-F-T-O-N. All one word.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Julafton.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05- Christmas Eve, Yule... - Yes. I think so, Steve.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- Yeah.- Shall we?- Yeah.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I think we'll go for Christmas Eve, Jeremy.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Steve, you are right. Christmas Eve it is. Well done.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18We need the Eggheads to slip up.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Let's see. Your question, Eggs.
0:25:21 > 0:25:28In which decade did Queen Elizabeth II abolish the ceremony of having debutantes presented at Court?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- '50s.- '50s.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39That's the 1950s.
0:25:39 > 0:25:421950s is your answer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Debutantes as in young women who were graduating or...?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50They were presented at Court and curtsied to the King or Queen.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55- And what was a debutante? - It means making your debut.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Coming out. Young ladies setting out in society.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- Did you do that, Judith? - No, cos it had finished.- Of course.
0:26:06 > 0:26:081950s is the right answer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11JEREMY LAUGHS
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- It finished some years before. - Absolutely.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21It was barely a memory. OK, the Eggheads have two. You need to get this one right.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Get it wrong and it's over. Get it right, they may well fail
0:26:25 > 0:26:28and then we're into sudden death.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33Here's your question. Who wrote the Tony Hill series of thrillers,
0:26:33 > 0:26:37adapted for television under the name Wire In The Blood?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47I don't think it was Lynda La Plante. What do you think?
0:26:47 > 0:26:53- I've heard of it. - PD James is detective stories.
0:26:53 > 0:27:01- Yeah... Is it not a bit more modern than PD James?- I don't know Val McDermid or anything she's done.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07- I...personally would have gone for Lynda La Plante.- Would you?- Yes.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11PD James is...
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- Dalgliesh, I think.- OK. - Inspector Dalgliesh.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I'm not too familiar with it.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- Yeah...- It's either Val McDermid or Lynda La Plante.- Yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- You're drawn to Lynda La Plante? - I am, but I don't know.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33- I don't know Val McDermid or anything about her.- Yep.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I'm happy to go with that, Steve.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39We're not really sure, but Lynda La Plante.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Let's see if the Eggheads know.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Val McDermid.- You've got it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Val McDermid is the answer. So no way back there.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56We have to say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05They are making a habit of winning. You're in good company.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- How many teams - 35? 36? - have gone this way already?- Yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14A whole load of teams have gone this way and failed.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20Commiserations, Tooth Fairies. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their streak continues.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25You won't be going home with the £35,000. It rolls over.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers can beat them.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37£36,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
