0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably 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 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads, and challenging our resident quiz champions today are...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This team are all members of the Leeds Writers' Circle,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43which at over 85 years old,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46is Britain's longest-running writing group.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I'm Dennis, I'm 67, and I'm a creative writing student.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56I'm Iby. I'm 89. I'm an author and public speaker.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Pat. I'm 78, and I'm a freelance author.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07I'm Ted, I'm 67, I'm a retired schoolteacher, and would-be author.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Hi. I'm Suzanne. I'm 53, and I'm a Masters student in Creative Writing.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- So, Dennis and team, welcome. - ALL: Hello.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Dennis, tell us about the Writers' Circle.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20We were formed in 1928.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25We've a couple... As you can see, we've a couple of the founding members with us.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- I'll get into trouble.- You're including yourself in that.
0:01:31 > 0:01:37You write stuff, and read it to each other, or you read other people's stuff you just like, or what?
0:01:37 > 0:01:42No, we have a meeting once a fortnight in which we read each other's material.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45It's any type of writing you can think of.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49And we get feedback from that. In addition to that,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52we have various workshops on different types of writing.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56And... And competitions throughout the year.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00The arts and books section here, if it comes up, will be heavily contested.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Am I right?- No!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- I think so.- Not from me.- These are literary people here.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09OK, Eggheads, and good luck to you, Pen Power, as well.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Now, Pen Power, I can tell you the Eggheads have won the last 35 games.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26I can barely remember the time when they last lost a game.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So the jackpot is £36,000.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Wow!
0:02:31 > 0:02:34That's the money that says you can't beat the Eggheads. Would you like to try?
0:02:34 > 0:02:39- We'll do our best.- As you're here. Your first head-to-head battle is on the subject of food and drink.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Pen Power, who would like this?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- It's you.- Was it me?- Or Suzanne.- I don't know.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- I feel like it was Iby.- I thought either Iby or you.- Yeah, yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Whichever.- You'll do that?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56So, I would suggest...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I would suggest Kevin.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Kevin knows as much about food and drink as perhaps anything else.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- May I challenge Kevin, please?- You may, Pat.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Pat from Pen Power versus Kevin from the Eggheads. It's been a while, food and drink.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12It has, actually. A while.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15And the last game, I have to tell you, was a bit torrid for Kevin.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19He was knocked out on a different subject, so maybe you've caught him at a weak moment.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Pat, before we get on to food and drink we should talk about your writing.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- You're quite prolific.- Yes, I mostly write for children.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38And I've written a number of children's books, and also...
0:03:38 > 0:03:42about nine or ten children's plays which are used in schools.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45And you wrote a book called The Magic Lion, and that was on TV.
0:03:45 > 0:03:52Yes. I was asked to write something for about 500 Leeds school children
0:03:52 > 0:03:54which had a Leeds theme.
0:03:54 > 0:04:00And we have a legend that when the Town Hall clock strikes midnight
0:04:00 > 0:04:04the stone lions get up and change places.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09So I wrote a Victorian fantasy about that, and I have a friend who's a composer,
0:04:09 > 0:04:15and she wrote the songs to go with it, and it was performed by all the children in the Town Hall.
0:04:15 > 0:04:23And about a week later we were asked if it could be transferred to Independent Television.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Very special indeed. OK, food and drink is the subject.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30A little way from the lions and the writing, but let's see how you do here.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34You're up against Kevin. It is a little bit of a chink in his armour, as we know.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Pat, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Can I go first, please?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Here we go, Pat. Your first question.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50A Bellini cocktail is traditionally made with champagne, and flavoured with which type of fruit?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58I've not heard of a cocktail made with gooseberry.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Or with apple.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I would think it would be made with peach.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Peach is the right answer. Well done, Pat.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Kevin, your first question -
0:05:10 > 0:05:14what French name is given to the shallow, wide-brimmed design of champagne glass
0:05:14 > 0:05:20traditionally thought to have been modelled on part of Marie Antoinette's physique?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Shallow, wide-brimmed...
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I can't remember what Daube is in French, unfortunately,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35so it may well turn out to be that.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I can't see that it's going to be jambe - leg - so um...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'll say Coupe.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43You're correct. Pat, your question.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49Fuggles and goldings are traditional English types of which beer ingredient?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I'm not quite sure about that.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I don't think it would be yeast.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It could be either hops or barley.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06And barley could be golden.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I think I'll say barley.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It's actually hop, so you've got it wrong, I'm afraid.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Hop is the answer. Kevin, your second question to take the lead.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20What ingredient is added to a Hollandaise
0:06:20 > 0:06:22to make a sauce mousseline?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I don't think it's parsley, I don't think it's fish stock.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I mean, the obvious connection here is with mousse,
0:06:31 > 0:06:35as in used in desserts,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38so I will go for whipped cream.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I can see Daphne nodding. Is that the right answer, Daphne?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Yeah.- Yes, it is. Whipped cream. Well done.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You're in the lead, Kevin.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Pat, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52In Thai cooking, what type of dish is khao pad?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I don't think that would be fried rice.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Possibly not chicken dumplings.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I think I'll guess at fish cakes.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Do you know, it's actually fried rice.- Oh.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Khao pad is fried rice, so I'm sorry, Pat.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16You've been knocked out by Kevin.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Who had two correct ones to your one. Bad luck.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23But it's not over for the team by any means!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25There's the big jackpot, and lots to play for.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Both of you come back to your teams, and we'll play on.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31As it stands, Pen Power have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33whilst the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35More to play, though. The next subject is arts and books.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Here we go.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39People of letters...
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Was that Iby, or...?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Definitely wasn't me.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Do you want to go for that, Suzanne?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49I'll have a go. I probably won't know as much as...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I should, but...!
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Suzanne. Against which Egghead? Obviously can't be Kevin.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Now... Dennis...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Any advice?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- What do we think?- Chris.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05You think Chris? Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Can I go against Chris, please?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12So, Suzanne from Pen Power versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20OK, Arts and Books, and you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Here we go, Suzanne. Good luck.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Which of these fictional characters appeared in print first?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36OK...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Well...
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Robert Langdon sounds recent to me.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It's not a character that I know.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I have read quite a bit of Ian Fleming,
0:08:48 > 0:08:53so I know that's from the sort of '50s...
0:08:53 > 0:08:55early '60s.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00Tarzan, I'm pretty sure there were films made quite early on.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05So I'm not sure of the answer, but I'm going to go for Tarzan.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08And Tarzan is the right answer. Well done.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Was it Edgar Rice Burroughs?- Yeah.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Chris, what term, also the name of a piece of art equipment,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18is given to the range of colours used in a particular painting?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24That is the artist's palette, Jeremy.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26It is indeed the artist's palette. Well done.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30OK, Suzanne -
0:09:30 > 0:09:34the graphic work entitled Dotter of Her Father's Eyes
0:09:34 > 0:09:39won a 2012 Costa Book Award in which category?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47OK. I should know the categories of Costa.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52I think they're fiction, so I'm going to rule out biography.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54And...
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I know there is an award for first novel.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I think that possibly IS the Costa Award,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06so I'm going to go for First Novel.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09It's not right, actually, and I don't know what the background here is.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12The answer is Biography. Dotter of her Father... What is this all about?
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- Anyone?- It's basically about the daughter of James Joyce.
0:10:17 > 0:10:23The person who's written it was the daughter of James Joyce's professor.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28So they're contrasting the upbringing of the two daughters.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I see. And when it says the graphic work,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32does that mean it's drawn?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35The first graphic novel to win an award like that.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37How interesting. Chris, your question.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42The 1994 book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
0:10:42 > 0:10:48is a non-fiction work based on a killing in which US city?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54That is Savannah, Georgia.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Savannah is the right answer.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00OK, so third question to you, and you need to get this one right.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02He hasn't tripped up yet, Suzanne.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Which Shakespearian character states, "I have more flesh than another man,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09and therefore more frailty."
0:11:15 > 0:11:18All right. I did Shakespeare for my English Literature degree,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21but it was a long time ago.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I'm thinking of flesh.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I'm going to have to guess, I'm afraid, because it's not a quote
0:11:27 > 0:11:29that I am familiar with.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I'm going to go for Sir Toby Belch.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Chris, do you know?- I played Toby Belch once, so it's not him.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38It's Falstaff, I think.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Yeah, Falstaff it is, Suzanne, so sorry, you've been knocked out
0:11:41 > 0:11:45by Chris our Egghead, who will be in the final round in your place.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49If you come back to us, we will play on.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52As it stands, Pen Power have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56The Eggheads are still intact, but they could wobble in their little egg cups.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59The next subject is sport.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Which Pen Power person would like sports?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- It's you.- OK. I'll be the sacrificial lamb.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08OK. So, Ted against which Egghead?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- What about Daphne?- I'll have to go for Daphne.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Daphne, of course.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19OK, so, Ted from Pen Power versus Daphne from the Eggheads on sports.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I was going to say it might be your weakest, but I don't think you have a weakest, Daphne.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30So, Ted, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I think I'll go second, please.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37OK. Here we go, Daphne. Good luck to you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42What colour is the racehorse Frankel who retired to stud in 2012?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Oh!
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I would imagine he must be a bay.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Because the other two are quite rare.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Brilliant. You're right. Bay it is.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59See how she does that, with...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01It's instinct. It's extraordinary.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07- What do you think of that, Ted?- Yes, brilliant, but let's hope my instinct will hold out as well.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13OK. Good luck to you. In which year was football's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup abolished?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I don't think it was as early as '79.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27'99 seems a bit recent. I'm going to go down the middle, and say 1989.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Now, I have a feeling my team Chelsea won it
0:13:29 > 0:13:31after the date you've just given us.
0:13:32 > 0:13:351999 is the answer.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37It's '99.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Got it wrong. Daphne, over to you.
0:13:39 > 0:13:47What did Victoria Azarenka blame for her withdrawal from a tennis tournament in Brisbane in 2013?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Oh, yes, I think...
0:13:56 > 0:13:59she had a...pedicure.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01You're right. It was a bad pedicure.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Meaning what? The nails were cut too far or something?
0:14:04 > 0:14:09I think perhaps sort of people messing round with your feet...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I mean, you're on your feet in tennis,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14so must have done something wrong.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Uh-huh. Bad pedicure is the answer.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Ted, over to you. She's got two out of two.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21You must get this one now, or you're going to be out.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26For which county did England cricketer Ian Bell
0:14:26 > 0:14:30make his first-class debut in 1999?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Again, it's an answer that I don't know.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I think again I'm just going to go down the middle, and say Kent.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Let's see if Daphne knows this one. Is he right?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I don't know. I'm so glad I went first.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I think I might have gone for Durham.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- That would've just been a guess. - Barry knows. Barry?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Warwickshire.- Warwickshire is the answer.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59You've got the comfort of knowing Daphne wouldn't have got that right,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02but I'm afraid she struck twice there, and knocked you out.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Slightly briskly, so you won't be in the Final Round, Ted.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Both of you come back to your teams, and we'll play on.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13So it's looking a bit difficult for Pen Power now.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15They've lost three brains from the Final Round.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19The Eggheads still haven't lost a brain, so you really want, with this last round before the Final,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21just charge them down.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23The next subject is Music.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Who wants this one?- Oh, God!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Iby said she would do it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- It'll have to be you, Dennis.- I know nothing about music.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Iby knows about classical music.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Iby knows about classical music, so...
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I know nothing about modern music. Nothing.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Just have to guess!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- It has to be you.- I think you'd better go.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Yes.- Iby, looks like it's you, is it?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48OK. It's all right, that's OK.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Everyone has gaps. They have gaps as well.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55It can be Dave, known as Tremendous Knowledge, or Barry on the end?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I think Barry, as he's also from Leeds.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00OK, good one. So, Iby versus Barry.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02The two Leeds players there on music.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Please go to the Question Room.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Good luck in this round, Iby.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I need it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12In a team of writers, you are a published author.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Yes.- Tell us about your book.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Well, the book is Called The Woman Without A Number,
0:16:17 > 0:16:23and it is a memoir about my experiences in the Second World War
0:16:23 > 0:16:26when I was in the concentration camp and slave labour camp.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Which camp was that? - Auschwitz-Birkenau.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33And I know that you're now 89.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Yes.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39That's a long time ago, but the memories are, I guess, with you every day.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Well, I try not to. I try to live today as today,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47and only revive the memories when I speak to young people,
0:16:47 > 0:16:52because I think it's very important that young people should learn from the past,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55because if they don't learn from the past, they will make the same mistakes
0:16:55 > 0:16:57as were made then.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Barry, you're up against a special lady here.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04A very special lady indeed. It's a privilege to meet her.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Shall we have a go, and see if we can sling this Egghead out?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Yes, let's try.- OK.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13So, Iby, you want to go first or second?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15They say ladies should go first.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Here we go, and your music tastes are more opera and classical, is that right?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- That's right.- OK, so we hope there's not too much pop in here.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Here we go. The first question in front of me is this...
0:17:29 > 0:17:31You'll enjoy this.
0:17:31 > 0:17:38Which song by Queen features the lyrics, "Dynamite with a laser beam, guaranteed to blow your mind"?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45My thing, to dance...
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Oh, I have no way of knowing, so...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I'll try to do a Daphne.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Killer Queen.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57You're right! Of course you're right.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Killer Queen it is. Yeah.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02OK, Barry, your question.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Which of these had a UK number one single in 2012 with Troublemaker?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh, goodness me. This one passed me by.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Uh, Troublemaker...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Don't think it was Will Young.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I know Olly Murs had a hit single. I'll go for Olly Murs.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Yeah, you'd recognise it.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27The instant you heard it you would know this song.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It's very, very catchy. It sold a lot of copies.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Olly Murs is right, Barry. Well done.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33You two are obviously good guessers here, Iby.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36See where we go now.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The Peanut Vendor Song
0:18:38 > 0:18:42which became popular in the 1930s
0:18:42 > 0:18:45is most associated with which island?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Well...
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Where do peanuts come from?
0:18:56 > 0:19:02They found them in Africa, but none of those is in Africa, so that doesn't help.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Oh... Cuba.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Stab in the dark?- Complete.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12It's right.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Does anyone here know the Peanut Vendor Song? Help us here.
0:19:17 > 0:19:24- Cuban song...?- Basically some guy just yelling "Peanuts!" over a sort of...
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Mexican-slash-Caribbean trumpet accompaniment.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29That's a brilliant description.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31OK, Barry, your question.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35The Swiss electronic musicians Dieter Meier and Boris Blank
0:19:35 > 0:19:37formed which successful duo?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Don't think Milli Vanilli were Swiss.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Blancmange doesn't sound like a name for a Swiss group.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- I'm going to go for Yello.- Yello is the right answer.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56We've got two all. Playing well here, both of you.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00OK, the music round, and back to Iby for your third question.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Ludwig van Beethoven wrote how many piano concertos?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I should know that.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's definitely not 20.
0:20:17 > 0:20:195.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Barry will know. Barry?- Absolutely.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23You've got it right. 5 is correct. Three out of three.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Playing brilliantly, Iby.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- I'm a pianist. I ought to know. - Music is your subject.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Even the songs of Queen are clearly covered by your repertoire.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Barry, this to stay in - which of his own operas did Verdi largely rewrite
0:20:38 > 0:20:41as a new work entitled Aroldo?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47And that's A-R-O-L-D-O.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Aroldo...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I can't believe it would be Don Carlos.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I mean, that's much too well-known.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56The other two are certainly not as well-known.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59So I think this is going to have to be a guess.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Because I'd have troubles pronouncing the first one,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I will go for Attila.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09OK, Attila is your answer. Iby, what do you think? Is he right?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14I think he probably would have kept Attila because that's a pronounceable name.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16It would have been probably Stiffelio.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Yeah, you're right again actually. Barry, you got it wrong.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21You've been knocked out by Iby. Well done!
0:21:21 > 0:21:23What about that!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's completely and utterly cut a swathe through the Eggheads there.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Well done to you. You've won on music.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33And now we're all set to play the Final Round for £36,000.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Do come back to us.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41It is time for the Final Round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:44 > 0:21:46won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Pat, Ted, and Suzanne from Pen Power,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53and also Barry from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:54 > 0:21:59So, Dennis and Iby, you're playing to win Pen Power £36,000.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Kevin, Dave, Daphne and Chris, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:22:03 > 0:22:05the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11This time the questions are all general knowledge,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13and you are allowed to confer, so Pen Power,
0:22:13 > 0:22:18the question is, are your two brains able to overcome the Eggheads' four?
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Yes.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Good, I'm glad. Positive thinking is excellent.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Now...- Full of confidence.- Excellent.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28First, please.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Here we go with your first question.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Novocastrians come from which city?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Castrian is a castle.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It can't be Nottingham.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Novo's new, isn't it?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Novo is new.- New.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49And castrian is castle.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- So Newcastle?- Yes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Yes, the answer's Newcastle.- The answer is indeed Newcastle.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Well done. First one to you. Good. £36,000 they're playing for.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Eggheads, back you to. In 2013, more than 100,000 US citizens
0:23:03 > 0:23:09signed a petition seeking the deportation of which UK subject
0:23:09 > 0:23:11from the United States?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Piers Morgan.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Piers Morgan.- Piers Morgan.- About the gun.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yeah, the gun issue.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23So Piers Morgan, we're all agreed?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Yes, Jeremy, we believe that's Piers Morgan.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29It is Piers Morgan. Piers Morgan is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Your question -
0:23:30 > 0:23:35in the Technicolor sections of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz,
0:23:35 > 0:23:41which two colours made up the gingham pinafore dress worn by Judy Garland?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Well, yellow's not going to show up on the Yellow Brick Road, is it?
0:23:51 > 0:23:56No. My feeling is that traditionally, gingham was blue and white.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02And in the '30s it would be a traditional colour.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Red and white I don't think. Definitely not yellow and white.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08It wouldn't have shown up on the Technicolor, that one.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Rightly or wrongly, I feel it's blue and white.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- That's my feeling.- We're not absolutely sure.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19But we think it's blue and white.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Blue and white is your answer, and you are 100 per cent right.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Well done.- It's blue and white.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29That was really good.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Your questions, Eggheads, to catch up.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35£36,000 jackpot. The biggest jackpot I've ever seen on this show.
0:24:35 > 0:24:41Which invasive species had a devastating effect on the British water vole population
0:24:41 > 0:24:43when it was released into the wild?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Got to be definitely...- Mink.- Mink.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I don't see...
0:24:55 > 0:24:59It's... It's competition for habitat.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- Yeah.- And that doesn't fit either of the others.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05They were activists, weren't they?
0:25:05 > 0:25:10A lot of mink were released, and animal rights activists...
0:25:10 > 0:25:12We're going to go for mink, Jeremy, please.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Mink is the correct answer.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18So, your third question now, Pen Power.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Iby and Dennis, I should say.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Which Prime Minister played cricket for Middlesex?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28God!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I can't see it being Alec Douglas-Home.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33For the simple reason he was...
0:25:33 > 0:25:36He didn't even look anything like sporting, did he?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40It was a question of where you were born in those days.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42You only could play cricket for the county in which you were born.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Which puts Douglas-Home out.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I can't see... Macmillan, I should say.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Harold Macmillan?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56That's what I think, just on the basis that
0:25:56 > 0:25:59I don't think Baldwin was a cricketer,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01and Douglas-Home was born in the wrong place.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04You've been right so far, Iby.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Hm?- You've been right so far.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09And I haven't a clue, so...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12..we're going to try for Harold Macmillan.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Harold Macmillan. Do you know where he was born?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Scotland.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Born in Scotland. What's the correct answer?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Alec Douglas-Home.- It was Alec Douglas-Home.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Alec Douglas-Home played cricket for Middlesex, challengers.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27So you've got that wrong,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30which gives the Eggheads a chance to take the contest now.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Here's your third question, Eggheads. £36,000 jackpot, remember.
0:26:34 > 0:26:40Which British mathematician developed a system he described as the method of fluxions?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43That's F-L-U-X-I-O-N-S.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- I think Isaac Newton.- It is calculus.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52His version of calculus.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Sir Isaac Newton.- Isaac Newton, yeah.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Jeremy, our answer is Isaac Newton.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Distressing amount of certainty on this side.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I know the answer as well.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07Isaac Newton is correct. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09You have won.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Oh, the Harold Macmillan!
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Because my husband was very keen on cricket, and he said
0:27:21 > 0:27:24you can only play for the county in which you were born.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27And Douglas-Home I knew had been born in Scotland.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Actually, that was the case in Yorkshire for a long time.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Yorkshire.- I thought it applied to all cricket.- No.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- So that's what threw me.- Yeah.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40Listen, well played. What a team. Really enjoyed seeing you.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Don't feel too bad. As you can see, more than 30 teams have been this way.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47That's no consolation.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51The Eggheads are on fine form. We say, commiserations, Pen Power.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54They've unfortunately done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58All too naturally at the moment, and their winning streak continues.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00It does mean you won't be going home with the £36,000,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Eggheads, very well done.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Who, I wonder, will beat you?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:10 > 0:28:12have the brains to defeat the Eggheads
0:28:12 > 0:28:14after all these games unbeaten.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17£37,000 says they don't.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20It's getting exciting. Until then, goodbye.
