These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:090:00:15

The question is - can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:20

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:240:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:31

They are the Eggheads. Challenging our quiz champions today

0:00:310:00:35

are Homed To Perfection. This team of colleagues all work

0:00:350:00:39

for the same housing association in North Lincolnshire. Let's meet them.

0:00:390:00:43

Hi, my name is James, I'm 22 and I'm a customer adviser.

0:00:430:00:47

Hi, my name's Craig.

0:00:470:00:48

I'm 51 and I'm an antisocial behaviour co-ordinator.

0:00:480:00:51

Hi, my name's Lynn.

0:00:510:00:53

I'm 51 and I'm a sheltered and retirement scheme officer.

0:00:530:00:56

Hi, my name's Sharon, I'm 41 and I'm a head of finance.

0:00:560:01:00

Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 41 and a customer adviser.

0:01:000:01:04

Welcome to you, Homed To Perfection. Whose bright idea was it to take on the Eggheads?

0:01:040:01:09

That would be Dave's, unfortunately.

0:01:090:01:12

-That's me.

-Dave, you get the glory or the blame, depending on how it all goes.

0:01:120:01:17

-Are you a regular viewer of Eggheads?

-I most certainly am.

0:01:170:01:21

Do you quiz at all together, James?

0:01:210:01:23

We've actually never quizzed together as a team before.

0:01:230:01:27

It could be our final quizzing stand, really.

0:01:270:01:30

Or it could be the start of a beautiful relationship.

0:01:300:01:33

Definitely.

0:01:330:01:34

Let's get going. Let me tell you what's been happening up to this point.

0:01:340:01:38

Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:380:01:41

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:410:01:43

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:430:01:45

Homed To Perfection, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games

0:01:450:01:49

which means, of course, £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:01:490:01:54

Let's get on with it then.

0:01:540:01:55

Our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.

0:01:550:01:59

Any one of you can take this on

0:01:590:02:02

as it's the opening round. Geography, who wants to play?

0:02:020:02:05

-Craig.

-Yeah.

-Craig, yeah?

0:02:050:02:08

OK, I'll take Geography, yes.

0:02:080:02:10

-All right, and which Egghead would you like to take?

-Now then, we'll focus on our strategy.

0:02:100:02:16

I can't remember what we said.

0:02:160:02:19

-I think it's got to be either Barry or Chris.

-Barry or Chris?

-I'd go for Barry if I were you.

0:02:190:02:25

It'll be Barry then.

0:02:250:02:26

Right. "I'd go for Barry if I were you," Craig obeying orders there!

0:02:260:02:30

-LAUGHTER I always do.

-Of course.

0:02:300:02:33

It's Craig and Barry into the Question Room, please,

0:02:330:02:36

just to make sure you can't confer.

0:02:360:02:38

So, Craig, what's your feeling, what's your choice?

0:02:400:02:43

Do you want to go first or second?

0:02:430:02:45

I'd like... Yes, I'll take first, please.

0:02:450:02:49

Very good luck to you, Craig. It's Geography, first question.

0:02:520:02:56

A part of a country that's separated from the rest geographically

0:02:560:03:01

and surrounded by other countries is known as what?

0:03:010:03:04

Right, now...

0:03:090:03:11

Looking at that,

0:03:130:03:15

I have to say I'm struggling on my first question.

0:03:150:03:18

I won't go down "exclave"

0:03:210:03:24

because that's probably like it's excluded.

0:03:240:03:28

"Un..." is... No.

0:03:280:03:32

So I'll go in the... As it's inside, I'll go "inclave".

0:03:320:03:37

OK, "inclave"...

0:03:370:03:39

It's not. It is "exclave".

0:03:390:03:41

Excluded, I suppose it is because it's not joined up

0:03:410:03:44

with the rest of the country.

0:03:440:03:46

Let's see how Barry does.

0:03:460:03:48

What is the name for the system of roads

0:03:480:03:51

that connects many major US cities?

0:03:510:03:54

There's been a fair number of songs written about these.

0:03:590:04:03

I believe they are interstate highways.

0:04:030:04:05

-Interstate highways?

-Yes.

0:04:050:04:07

It's the right answer.

0:04:070:04:09

Craig, see if can you can get this.

0:04:090:04:11

In the early 1970s,

0:04:110:04:13

the Royal Seaforth Dock opened at the mouth of which estuary?

0:04:130:04:17

Right.

0:04:200:04:21

The Royal Seaforth Dock...

0:04:210:04:23

Early '70s...

0:04:250:04:27

I'm trying to think.

0:04:300:04:33

The Thames would be the docks...

0:04:330:04:35

The Mersey, Liverpool. The Severn which will go down towards Bristol.

0:04:350:04:40

I think I'll go for... Again...

0:04:420:04:46

Thames.

0:04:460:04:47

OK, Thames for the Royal Seaforth Dock...

0:04:470:04:50

In the 1970s, it was opened in the Mersey.

0:04:500:04:54

-Oh, dear me.

-The Mersey.

-Bad start.

-Bad start, but tricky questions.

0:04:540:04:59

Don't beat yourself up, Craig.

0:04:590:05:01

Just relax. Hope Barry doesn't get this, though.

0:05:010:05:04

Water from Lake Tanganyika ultimately flows out into where?

0:05:040:05:09

Well, Tanganyika is on the eastern side of Africa,

0:05:130:05:17

so that would mean it should flow into the Indian Ocean.

0:05:170:05:20

-OK, the Indian Ocean, you think?

-Mm-hm.

0:05:200:05:23

-No!

-Oh.

0:05:230:05:25

It is the Atlantic.

0:05:250:05:27

-You surprise me.

-That's surprising a lot of the Eggheads as well.

0:05:270:05:31

Yes, well, good news for you, Craig.

0:05:310:05:35

It means you get another question.

0:05:350:05:38

You need to get it.

0:05:380:05:39

In terms of land area,

0:05:390:05:42

what is the smallest province of the People's Republic of China?

0:05:420:05:46

I've heard of the Sichuan area and the Yunnan area.

0:05:510:05:55

I've never heard of Hainan.

0:05:550:05:57

The smallest...

0:05:570:06:00

I'll take a complete guess of Yunnan. I'm going down the middle.

0:06:000:06:05

Yunnan for the smallest province of the People's Republic of China...

0:06:050:06:09

No, Craig, it's not the right answer. Sorry.

0:06:090:06:12

Barry, do you know, of the other two? It's an easier question.

0:06:120:06:15

It's Hainan, a smallish island off the coast of China.

0:06:150:06:19

You did know it, Barry - Hainan.

0:06:190:06:21

A really tough set there. A very broad category, Craig.

0:06:210:06:24

No damage done

0:06:240:06:26

to the overall team's chances.

0:06:260:06:28

It's the first round and a lot of quizzing to do.

0:06:280:06:31

But no place for you in the final round.

0:06:310:06:34

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:06:340:06:37

Craig, I sense you're a bit deflated, you would be after losing,

0:06:370:06:40

but you've still got a part to play in the team.

0:06:400:06:43

-Yeah.

-Cheering them along

0:06:430:06:44

as they try and get the money and in the selections against the Eggheads.

0:06:440:06:49

As it stands, Homed To Perfection

0:06:490:06:51

have lost one brain from the final round.

0:06:510:06:53

The Eggheads are all there,

0:06:530:06:55

but we've only played one round. Let's play another one - Music.

0:06:550:06:59

Who'd like to play this from Homed To Perfection?

0:06:590:07:02

-That's going to be you, James.

-James.

-Yeah.

0:07:020:07:06

-I'm happy with Music.

-Go for it.

-Yeah.

0:07:060:07:09

OK, James, and choose any Egghead apart from Barry.

0:07:090:07:13

I think it's got to be between Daphne, Pat or Dave,

0:07:130:07:18

-but I'm not quite sure which one.

-Daphne?

-Yeah, I'll take on Daphne.

0:07:180:07:22

-All right, James and Daphne...

-DAPHNE SIGHS

0:07:220:07:25

What was that?

0:07:250:07:26

Was that your battle sigh?

0:07:270:07:29

-Yes.

-Rather than a battle cry.

0:07:290:07:31

OK, James and Daphne, into the Question Room, please.

0:07:310:07:35

James, I hear your big brush with music stardom came

0:07:350:07:38

when Bryce Avary drew on your face with a marker pen?

0:07:380:07:41

Yeah, that's correct, just after a concert he did in Manchester.

0:07:410:07:47

He drew all over my face in permanent marker pen.

0:07:470:07:51

I had a job interview the next day, so...

0:07:510:07:54

What did he draw? Can you tell us?

0:07:540:07:56

I got a nice, curly moustache and a spiky goatee,

0:07:560:08:00

as well as American football marks under my eyes and everything,

0:08:000:08:04

then he put his signature on my chin.

0:08:040:08:06

Did you manage to get it off before the interview?

0:08:060:08:09

No, not at all, but I still managed to get the job.

0:08:090:08:12

-It's not this current job, is it?

-No, not this current one.

0:08:120:08:16

I think I can just still see that little... No, it's gone.

0:08:160:08:19

OK, James, would you like to go first or second?

0:08:190:08:23

I'll go first, please.

0:08:230:08:25

OK, off we go and your first question.

0:08:280:08:30

Which song from The Sound Of Music begins with the line,

0:08:300:08:33

"There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall"?

0:08:330:08:37

Well, I'm not 100% sure.

0:08:430:08:46

I can't say that I've seen it at all,

0:08:460:08:49

but I think I might have seen the scene, hopefully,

0:08:490:08:53

and they are near the stairs, so I'll go for So Long, Farewell.

0:08:530:08:58

Well done, yes. You haven't seen it?

0:08:580:09:01

I haven't actually seen it.

0:09:010:09:03

OK, well, there we are,

0:09:030:09:05

but got the question right - So Long, Farewell.

0:09:050:09:08

Daphne, first question. What name is given to the type of music

0:09:080:09:12

that originated on the west coast of the USA in the early 1960s,

0:09:120:09:17

featuring vocal harmonies and guitar riffs?

0:09:170:09:20

Sounds like Surf Music?

0:09:250:09:28

Surf Music? Yes, of course, the right answer.

0:09:290:09:32

And, James,

0:09:320:09:34

which singer was the final act at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert

0:09:340:09:38

in London in June 2012?

0:09:380:09:41

Again I can't say I watched that. I must have had prior engagements.

0:09:450:09:49

But I'm going to take a bit of a guess at Paul McCartney.

0:09:490:09:53

Paul McCartney, bit of a guess, but got it again.

0:09:530:09:56

Hadn't seen that either. Doesn't matter.

0:09:560:09:58

Daphne, who composed the 1934 work Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini?

0:10:000:10:06

Sergei Rachmaninov.

0:10:120:10:14

And the answer is Rachmaninov. Well done, Daphne.

0:10:150:10:18

Two-all. James, quizzing well here.

0:10:180:10:21

Which song was the UK's number one single on the first day of 1970?

0:10:210:10:27

This is quite a bit before my time,

0:10:320:10:34

so this is going to have to be a complete guess, I'm afraid.

0:10:340:10:38

There's actually only one song that I think I recognise,

0:10:380:10:41

so I'll have to go for Sugar, Sugar.

0:10:410:10:44

It's not Sugar, Sugar. Daphne, what do you think?

0:10:440:10:47

-Two Little Boys.

-Yeah, Two Little Boys.

0:10:470:10:50

Nothing there. Daphne doesn't get the point. That was out of interest.

0:10:500:10:54

She must answer her third question.

0:10:540:10:56

Daphne, who topped the UK singles chart in 2012

0:10:560:11:00

with the song Call Me Maybe?

0:11:000:11:03

Oh, dear. I was reading this the other day.

0:11:100:11:13

And I've forgotten it.

0:11:130:11:15

Carly Rae Jepsen.

0:11:180:11:20

It's like a very short gestation period

0:11:210:11:23

while she incubates the thought and out pops a fully-formed

0:11:230:11:29

and correct answer -

0:11:290:11:31

Carly Rae Jepsen.

0:11:310:11:33

Well done, Daphne.

0:11:330:11:35

Apologies, James. Bad luck. Two out of three,

0:11:350:11:39

but it wasn't good enough. No place for you in the final round.

0:11:390:11:41

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:11:410:11:45

Homed To Perfection, the quizzing not quite perfect yet,

0:11:450:11:48

but getting there, edging in that direction.

0:11:480:11:51

You've lost two brains from the final round

0:11:510:11:54

and the Eggheads are all still there.

0:11:540:11:56

Our third head-to-head, the subject is Film & Television.

0:11:560:12:00

Who'd like to play this? Film & TV.

0:12:000:12:03

Do you want to do this, Sharon, or do you want me to do it?

0:12:030:12:06

I'll give it a go.

0:12:060:12:07

-Sharon.

-Yeah.

-Me.

-All right, Sharon,

0:12:070:12:10

and who would you like to choose from the Eggheads?

0:12:100:12:13

Daphne and Barry have now played, so you have Pat, Chris or Dave.

0:12:130:12:17

-I think you should go for Dave.

-Dave?

-I'll take on Dave.

0:12:170:12:22

OK, Sharon and Dave, into the Question Room, please.

0:12:220:12:25

Sharon, would you like to go first or second?

0:12:270:12:29

I'd like to go first, please.

0:12:290:12:31

OK, Sharon going first on Film & Television

0:12:340:12:36

and this is your first question.

0:12:360:12:38

The actress Berenice Bejo played the female lead

0:12:380:12:42

in which Oscar-winning 2011 film?

0:12:420:12:45

I've seen Midnight In Paris and I don't remember her in there.

0:12:500:12:54

The Iron Lady was about Margaret Thatcher

0:12:540:12:58

and that was played by Meryl Streep.

0:12:580:13:00

I know The Artist was a French film, so I'll pick The Artist.

0:13:000:13:04

Yeah, good choice. It's the right answer.

0:13:040:13:08

OK, The Artist there.

0:13:080:13:10

Dave, The Wedding Party, Gourmet Night and The Germans are the titles

0:13:100:13:14

of three episodes of which TV series?

0:13:140:13:17

I'd love to see Starsky and Hutch do The Gourmet Night and The Germans!

0:13:210:13:26

DAVE LAUGHS

0:13:260:13:28

I can't see much of a wedding party in Blake's 7.

0:13:280:13:31

-We've got to go with the classic Fawlty Towers.

-Fawlty Towers...

0:13:310:13:34

It's the right answer, yes, Fawlty Towers.

0:13:340:13:38

Good start, Sharon. Second question.

0:13:390:13:41

The opening credits of which TV drama series played out

0:13:410:13:44

over film of a single swinging light bulb?

0:13:440:13:47

It wasn't The Professionals because I used to watch that

0:13:510:13:55

when it was on TV in the '70s or '80s.

0:13:550:13:58

I haven't seen either Shoestring or Callan.

0:13:590:14:03

It's a guess

0:14:030:14:05

and I'll go for Shoestring.

0:14:050:14:08

OK, got it down to 50/50, knew it wasn't The Professionals.

0:14:080:14:12

It's not Shoestring though, so it is Callan.

0:14:120:14:15

Callan there with the swinging light bulb.

0:14:150:14:18

OK...

0:14:180:14:20

Dave, a chance for the lead.

0:14:200:14:22

Who played the title role in the 1961 historical epic El Cid?

0:14:220:14:27

Three Hollywood legends, sadly no longer with us.

0:14:310:14:35

It's not Lee Marvin, it's not Tony Curtis.

0:14:370:14:40

It tends to be when these big movies came around at that time...

0:14:400:14:44

Or big films. I shouldn't say "movies". I'm British.

0:14:440:14:49

When big films came at these times, the big-budget ones,

0:14:490:14:52

Charlton Heston tended to be in the frame in that time period,

0:14:520:14:56

so it's Charlton Heston.

0:14:560:14:58

OK, the go-to man.

0:14:580:15:00

If he wasn't racing his chariot, he was being El Cid.

0:15:000:15:04

It's the right answer, Charlton Heston, and you have a lead.

0:15:040:15:10

Sharon, you need to get this.

0:15:100:15:11

Who was the star of the early 1960s comedy show It's A Square World?

0:15:110:15:17

I have absolutely no idea.

0:15:210:15:22

I was born in 1970, so I missed out.

0:15:220:15:26

I can't think that it would be Ronnie Corbett.

0:15:280:15:32

I don't know who Michael Bentine is.

0:15:320:15:35

David Frost...

0:15:350:15:37

I only know him as a presenter, I think.

0:15:370:15:43

I'm drawn to Michael Bentine,

0:15:430:15:45

but the last one I was drawn to, Shoestring, was the wrong answer.

0:15:450:15:49

But I'll still go with him, I think.

0:15:500:15:52

OK, Michael Bentine...

0:15:520:15:54

-It's the right answer.

-Hey!

0:15:540:15:57

Michael Bentine. Well done, Sharon.

0:15:580:16:01

Well before your time, never saw it, but got him.

0:16:010:16:04

You have to hope Dave doesn't get this.

0:16:040:16:06

Which actress plays Elizabeth Taylor

0:16:060:16:08

in the 2012 film Liz & Dick?

0:16:080:16:11

Right, well, Zooey Deschanel's New Girl,

0:16:170:16:21

so I don't think she's got time to do that big production,

0:16:210:16:24

although she's obviously moving on to big pictures.

0:16:240:16:29

I don't think it's Greta Gerwig.

0:16:290:16:31

I'm not entirely sure,

0:16:310:16:34

but I do seem to remember a lot of publicity surrounding Lindsay Lohan

0:16:340:16:40

on a movie project.

0:16:400:16:41

It probably was Elizabeth Taylor, so I'll go Lindsay Lohan.

0:16:410:16:45

OK, Lindsay Lohan in Liz & Dick as Elizabeth Taylor...

0:16:450:16:49

-It's the right answer, Dave.

-Is it?

0:16:490:16:51

Yeah, you've taken the round, but only just,

0:16:510:16:54

just squeezed out again...

0:16:540:16:56

-It's how they fall sometimes.

-Indeed.

0:16:560:16:59

Sharon, you won't be in the final round.

0:16:590:17:01

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:17:010:17:04

Bad luck, Sharon.

0:17:040:17:05

Again knocking at that door here, but just not getting through.

0:17:050:17:09

Homed To Perfection have now lost three brains from the final round

0:17:090:17:13

and the Eggheads are unscathed.

0:17:130:17:15

Let's see if that changes in our last head-to-head on History.

0:17:150:17:20

So, two players available,

0:17:200:17:22

-Lynn or Dave.

-Dave?

-Dave?

0:17:220:17:26

-I think it's got to be Dave.

-Dave.

0:17:260:17:28

It looks like it's me.

0:17:280:17:30

OK, Dave, and two players from the Eggheads available as well.

0:17:300:17:34

-They are either Pat or Chris.

-I think Pat, in my opinion.

0:17:340:17:38

-Pat?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

0:17:380:17:41

-Go for Pat?

-Yeah, we'll go for Pat.

0:17:410:17:43

OK, let's have Dave and Pat into the Question Room, please.

0:17:430:17:48

Well, then, let's play Eggheads.

0:17:490:17:51

OK, Dave, I know you like your factual books, don't you?

0:17:510:17:55

You like history.

0:17:550:17:57

-I certainly do, yes.

-Any particular period you concentrate on?

0:17:570:18:01

Second World War mainly.

0:18:010:18:02

Let's hope some of those questions come up

0:18:020:18:05

in the first or second set for you?

0:18:050:18:07

As it hasn't been that successful in the first few games,

0:18:070:18:10

I think I'll go second, please.

0:18:100:18:12

Dave deciding to let Pat start, the Egghead, and Pat, here you go.

0:18:150:18:19

Which king appears at the very start of the Bayeux Tapestry?

0:18:190:18:23

Which king appears at the very start of the Bayeux Tapestry?

0:18:270:18:32

I think it was created shortly after the Battle of Hastings.

0:18:320:18:37

That's my feeling, anyway.

0:18:370:18:38

Henry I is some years later

0:18:380:18:41

and William III is centuries later,

0:18:410:18:43

so Edward the Confessor,

0:18:430:18:46

who was in power in the early part of the 1000s,

0:18:460:18:49

must be the best candidate there.

0:18:490:18:52

Willie, Willie, Harry, Steve.

0:18:520:18:54

Henry I was the third king after the invasion.

0:18:540:18:57

I'll go with Edward the Confessor.

0:18:570:18:59

Once you established the 11th century,

0:18:590:19:02

it had to be Edward the Confessor. It's right, Pat.

0:19:020:19:05

And over to you then, Dave.

0:19:050:19:07

Your first question. Which of Henry VIII's wives

0:19:070:19:11

was buried in Peterborough Abbey in 1536?

0:19:110:19:13

Which of Henry VIII's wives was buried

0:19:180:19:21

in Peterborough Abbey in 1536?

0:19:210:19:24

I'll discount Nell Gwyn. She wasn't one of Henry VIII's wives.

0:19:240:19:29

Out of the other two, it's a 50/50, unfortunately.

0:19:290:19:33

I will go with...

0:19:330:19:35

..Lady Jane Grey.

0:19:360:19:37

OK, Lady Jane Grey...

0:19:400:19:42

It's not, Dave, because the question could have been re-phrased -

0:19:420:19:46

which of these was a wife of Henry VIII?

0:19:460:19:49

The only one was Catherine of Aragon.

0:19:490:19:53

A chance for Pat to go into a bigger lead.

0:19:530:19:55

Pat, at the end of the 1940s,

0:19:550:19:57

following defeat during the Chinese Civil War,

0:19:570:20:00

to where did Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalists retreat?

0:20:000:20:04

I think they all decamped en masse across the sea to Taiwan

0:20:080:20:14

where Chiang Kai-shek ruled for decades, subsequently.

0:20:140:20:18

So they went to Taiwan.

0:20:180:20:20

Taiwan, which, of course, still rankles with the Chinese.

0:20:200:20:24

It's still a source of tension.

0:20:240:20:26

They used to blare propaganda at each other across the strait.

0:20:260:20:29

OK, it is the right answer,

0:20:290:20:31

Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalists retreating there

0:20:310:20:35

after the Chinese Civil War, Taiwan, so it's two-nil.

0:20:350:20:38

Dave, you know what you've got to do. In 1833, workmen near Mold in North Wales

0:20:380:20:43

discovered what precious item,

0:20:430:20:45

believed to have been created between 1900 and 1600 BC?

0:20:450:20:50

In 1833, workmen near Mold in North Wales discovered what precious item,

0:20:550:21:00

believed to have been created between 1900 and 1600 BC?

0:21:000:21:05

Unfortunately, I'm not too sure on this one,

0:21:050:21:08

but I guess it's something made of gold!

0:21:080:21:11

Very good. We'll give you that!

0:21:110:21:14

I think looking at them,

0:21:160:21:18

it's going to be a guess, unfortunately, again.

0:21:180:21:21

I'll go straight down the middle - gold shoe.

0:21:210:21:25

A gold shoe...

0:21:250:21:27

A kind of prehistoric Cinderella type, you think, around.

0:21:270:21:32

It's not a gold shoe. Of the other two, Pat, do you know?

0:21:320:21:37

-I don't know.

-Any ideas, just out of interest? No?

0:21:370:21:41

-A parasol?

-It's not a parasol. It's a gold cape.

-Cape?

0:21:410:21:45

A gold cape is the missing answer there, the one you didn't get,

0:21:450:21:49

so the end of the round, I'm afraid, Dave,

0:21:490:21:52

no place in the final round for you.

0:21:520:21:54

Would you both come back and join your teams?

0:21:540:21:57

This is what we've been playing towards, the final round,

0:21:570:22:00

which is General Knowledge.

0:22:000:22:02

But those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part,

0:22:020:22:05

so James, Craig, Sharon and Dave from Homed To Perfection,

0:22:050:22:10

would you all leave the studio, please?

0:22:100:22:14

So, Lynn, we didn't have a chance to chat,

0:22:140:22:16

you didn't play one of the head-to-heads.

0:22:160:22:19

Remember, this is a family show -

0:22:190:22:20

what's this about you in a Miss Whippy competition?

0:22:200:22:24

-It was an ice cream competition.

-OK.

0:22:240:22:27

It was a national company and the ice cream chap said to me,

0:22:270:22:30

"You ought to send a photo in," so I did.

0:22:300:22:32

I was one of the runners-up,

0:22:320:22:35

but being 13, you feel like you're on top of the world.

0:22:350:22:39

Did you get some free ice creams?

0:22:390:22:40

I got a scarf and some free ice creams, yeah.

0:22:400:22:43

Very nice. We're glad that's what it was.

0:22:430:22:46

OK, Lynn, you're playing to win Homed To Perfection £13,000.

0:22:460:22:51

Dave, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat,

0:22:510:22:53

you're playing for something which money can't buy -

0:22:530:22:56

the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:560:22:58

As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:580:23:01

This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.

0:23:010:23:04

You're not allowed to avail yourself of this rule change

0:23:040:23:08

in the final round - you are allowed to confer.

0:23:080:23:11

So, Lynn, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:23:110:23:15

Always the challengers' choice - do you want to go first or second?

0:23:150:23:18

I think I'll go first.

0:23:180:23:20

Good luck, Lynn. As we often say,

0:23:240:23:27

it's often been done, the one against the five Eggheads.

0:23:270:23:29

Let's see if you can do it.

0:23:290:23:31

According to the nursery rhyme that starts, "Jack, be nimble,"

0:23:310:23:35

Jack jumps over the what?

0:23:350:23:37

According to the nursery rhyme that starts, "Jack, be nimble,"

0:23:410:23:44

Jack jumps over the what?

0:23:440:23:46

I know it's not grandfather clock or bedpost,

0:23:460:23:50

so therefore it's the candlestick.

0:23:500:23:52

"Jack, be nimble, Jack, be quick," and he jumps over the candlestick.

0:23:520:23:56

It's the right answer.

0:23:560:23:58

What part of someone's anatomy is normally the focus of a mugshot?

0:23:580:24:03

What part of someone's anatomy is normally the focus of a mugshot?

0:24:050:24:09

Stand you up against a white wall and take a photograph of your face.

0:24:090:24:13

Face, OK. Not the backside?

0:24:130:24:16

They did try it occasionally but, no, it's your face.

0:24:160:24:20

I'm sure they might have done. Face is the correct answer.

0:24:200:24:24

Back to you, Lynn.

0:24:240:24:26

Which member of the Royal Family

0:24:260:24:28

completed the London Marathon in 2010?

0:24:280:24:31

Which member of the Royal Family

0:24:340:24:37

completed the London Marathon in 2010?

0:24:370:24:39

OK, I don't think it was Prince William

0:24:390:24:44

and I don't think it was Prince Edward.

0:24:440:24:47

I'm pretty sure it was Princess Beatrice, so I'll go for that one.

0:24:470:24:51

Princess Beatrice, you're pretty sure.

0:24:510:24:53

You can be certain now - it's the right answer. Well done, Lynn.

0:24:530:24:56

-Thank you.

-You've got two.

0:24:560:24:59

Eggheads, for how long did Sputnik 1,

0:24:590:25:01

the world's first artificial satellite, orbit the Earth?

0:25:010:25:05

For how long did Sputnik 1,

0:25:080:25:10

the world's first artificial satellite, orbit the Earth?

0:25:100:25:13

It was longer than three days.

0:25:130:25:15

The Yanks were tracking it, as was Jodrell Bank.

0:25:150:25:18

It was a low orbit, so it wouldn't have been up there for three years.

0:25:180:25:23

It's got to be three months. Three months, Dermot.

0:25:230:25:26

OK, and the right answer emerging. It's correct, three months.

0:25:260:25:30

Lynn, doing really well here.

0:25:300:25:32

Are you calm, enjoying yourself?

0:25:320:25:34

Enjoying myself.

0:25:340:25:36

-Good.

-Calm? I don't know.

-OK.

0:25:360:25:38

Let's see if you can get this on the board and challenge for that money.

0:25:380:25:42

Vinnie Jones ended his club football career in the 1998-99 season

0:25:420:25:48

as player-coach of which team?

0:25:480:25:50

Vinnie Jones ended his club football career in the 1998-99 season

0:25:550:26:00

as player-coach of which team?

0:26:000:26:02

OK, I know nothing about football whatsoever.

0:26:020:26:05

I remember seeing him in a blue shirt as a player, I'm sure,

0:26:070:26:11

but I ain't got a clue, apart from Chelsea, who plays in blue.

0:26:110:26:16

I'm going to knock out Wolverhampton Wanderers...

0:26:160:26:19

..and I think I'm going to knock out Queens Park Rangers.

0:26:200:26:26

So...

0:26:260:26:28

I'd usually go for the one I think it's not, if that makes sense.

0:26:300:26:34

I'm going to go for...

0:26:340:26:36

Player-coach.

0:26:380:26:39

..Chelsea.

0:26:410:26:43

-Chelsea... You say you don't know anything about football.

-I don't.

0:26:430:26:47

Having a guess, a one-in-three chance, but you haven't landed it.

0:26:470:26:51

No, Lynn. Do you know, Eggheads?

0:26:510:26:53

-Queens Park Rangers.

-Queens Park Rangers.

0:26:530:26:57

The Eggheads have a chance here,

0:26:570:26:59

but if they don't get it, we go to Sudden Death.

0:26:590:27:02

Which US writer had great success in the early 1920s

0:27:020:27:06

with novels called Main Street and Babbitt?

0:27:060:27:09

Which US writer had great success in the early 1920s

0:27:130:27:17

with novels called Main Street and Babbitt?

0:27:170:27:21

It wasn't Thornton Wilder and it wasn't Ernest Hemingway.

0:27:210:27:24

It was Sinclair Lewis.

0:27:240:27:26

Sinclair Lewis, you think?

0:27:260:27:28

I think you know. It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.

0:27:280:27:33

Bad luck, Lynn. Just got that football question coming up.

0:27:390:27:43

If things had gone your team's way in some of those head-to-heads,

0:27:430:27:47

you might have had someone else there

0:27:470:27:49

who might have known a bit more about football than you,

0:27:490:27:52

but you got two there all on your own.

0:27:520:27:54

In a couple of those head-to-heads,

0:27:540:27:56

you kept getting those first two right and not getting the third one

0:27:560:28:00

and failing at the last hurdle,

0:28:000:28:02

-but I hope you've all enjoyed yourselves.

-We have. Had a good day.

0:28:020:28:06

Had a good laugh. It's been great.

0:28:060:28:09

At them! No, with them, of course. Thank you, Lynn.

0:28:090:28:12

Thanks to all of Homed To Perfection for playing the Eggheads today,

0:28:120:28:17

but they have done what comes naturally to them

0:28:170:28:19

and their winning streak continues.

0:28:190:28:21

I'm afraid you won't be going home with that £13,000 -

0:28:210:28:24

that means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:240:28:26

Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:260:28:30

Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:300:28:32

have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:320:28:35

£14,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
