0:00:05 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is... can they be beaten?

0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain -

0:00:31 > 0:00:33they are the Eggheads.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on the might of our quiz champions today

0:00:36 > 0:00:38are Storm Queen.

0:00:38 > 0:00:39Now, this team of friends

0:00:39 > 0:00:41regularly quiz together at the Storm Queen pub

0:00:41 > 0:00:43in the West End of Glasgow.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hi. My name's Ian.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm 58 and I'm a retired travel consultant.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi. My name's Rosie.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54I'm 67 and I'm a retired travel agent.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi. My name's Ady.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59I'm 50 and I'm a research technologist.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi. My name is Andy.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03I'm 62 and I'm a hairdresser.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hi. My name's Nicole.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07I'm 22 and I'm a chemistry student.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Ian and the team, welcome.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Thank you, Jeremy.- Good to see you.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13You quiz together, then?

0:01:13 > 0:01:14We do.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Actually, we've quizzed together individually,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20but this is the first time as the Storm Queen team.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24- With different teams. - Tell us about the pub.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27OK, the pub is the best in the West End of Glasgow.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31We're all customers. We get up to lots of activities -

0:01:31 > 0:01:35quizzing, poker, dominoes, karaoke,

0:01:35 > 0:01:36at which I'm particularly bad.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38But there we go!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40And Nicole's behind the bar, is that right?

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Nicole is our lovely bar staff,

0:01:42 > 0:01:45who serves us very patiently with great charm.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48That's lovely. OK, every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs

0:01:48 > 0:01:50for our challengers, as you know.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58So, Storm Queen, the challengers won the last game,

0:01:58 > 0:02:00proving it can be done.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03That means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Do you want to go for it?- ALL: Yes. - Good.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Which of you would like this?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Now, who would like to go for Politics?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16I think perhaps Andy.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17You'd be good for Politics.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Let's see...

0:02:19 > 0:02:21I thought Rosie was good at Politics.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22No.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- How about you?- Politics, I've got no interest whatsoever.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27What do you think, Andy?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Want to give it a go? - Yes, I'll give it a go.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32OK, Andy's going to go for Politics.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK. Andy on Politics. Against which Egghead?

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Almost the classic line-up there, actually.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I think I would like...

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Oh, wow! Judith.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- That's good for you, because... - That's a change.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47- It's not Sport!- It's not Sport!

0:02:47 > 0:02:52I was going to say you've had a torrid time on Sport. You've actually been winning on Sport.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53- Yes.- So we'll hear no more of that.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Politics it is.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Andy from Storm Queen versus Judith from the Eggheads.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Please, to ensure there's no conferring,

0:03:00 > 0:03:02would you go to the Question Room.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Andy, there seemed to be a bit of reluctance to take Politics

0:03:06 > 0:03:08on behalf of nearly everyone in your team!

0:03:08 > 0:03:10That's quite true.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13So you've ended up with the Politics round yourself.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Well, here's hoping.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16And what do you do for a living?

0:03:16 > 0:03:19- I'm a hairdresser in the West End of Glasgow.- OK.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22- So quite near the pub?- Very near the pub. Within walking distance.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Can you sneak into the pub between haircuts?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Oh, no - I never drink and dry!

0:03:27 > 0:03:29ALL LAUGH

0:03:29 > 0:03:33So, Politics, Andy. Your choice - would you like to go first or second?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'll go first.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39Here we go. Which of these men

0:03:39 > 0:03:43served as President of the United States in the 19th century?

0:03:48 > 0:03:50In the 19th century, I would say...

0:03:50 > 0:03:53It certainly wasn't Roosevelt.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55And Wilson...

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Possibly.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00I think it's Abraham Lincoln.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03You're absolutely right. Have you seen the film?

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I haven't. I've seen the trailer and it looks very, very good.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Well done. Abraham Lincoln is the right answer.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Stuck in my mind because I think it was all happening in 1865,

0:04:12 > 0:04:16so it was 100 years to the year before I was born.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Well done, Andy.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Because that's the only way I'd remember it,

0:04:20 > 0:04:22if it had some bearing on my own life.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23OK, Judith, your question.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26In 1963, which country vetoed Britain's entry

0:04:26 > 0:04:29to the European Economic Community?

0:04:31 > 0:04:33It was old De Gaulle and he said "Non".

0:04:33 > 0:04:35So it was France.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38I remember the headlines - they were all "Non!"

0:04:39 > 0:04:41You're right. France it was.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42We're on Politics.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Back to you, Andy.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Merlyn Rees was Home Secretary under which UK Prime Minister?

0:04:51 > 0:04:52Ooh...

0:04:52 > 0:04:55I don't think it's Tony Blair.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Possibly John Major...

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Yes, I'll go with John Major.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05He was actually Labour, in fact, Merlyn Rees,

0:05:05 > 0:05:08so it was James Callaghan, '70s.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Merlyn Rees was Home Secretary under James Callaghan, Andy.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13Judith, your question.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15In 2009,

0:05:15 > 0:05:17the UKIP politician Nigel Farage

0:05:17 > 0:05:20was re-elected to represent which constituency

0:05:20 > 0:05:21of the European Parliament?

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Oh, gosh!

0:05:26 > 0:05:28I never know about MEPs.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Um...

0:05:30 > 0:05:34I think it must...probably South East England.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37South East England is the right answer.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Thank goodness for that.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41So you're just ahead, Judith.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Andy, it means you need this question to stay in.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46The Conservative politician Eric Pickles

0:05:46 > 0:05:51was leader of which city council between 1988 and 1990?

0:05:56 > 0:05:57Oh!

0:05:58 > 0:05:59Bradford...

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Salford...Hereford.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08I would say Bradford.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10You are right. Well done.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Very well done indeed. Bradford it is.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Just a couple of years, but that was his home patch.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Judith, if you get this one right, you're in the final.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23As at January 1st, 2013,

0:06:23 > 0:06:26how many amendments to the United States Constitution

0:06:26 > 0:06:29have been ratified and enacted?

0:06:32 > 0:06:33Well...

0:06:33 > 0:06:36the only one I can think of

0:06:36 > 0:06:40is the Prohibition, which was the 18th.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43And that was in 19...sometime.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46And that had quite...a century and a bit

0:06:46 > 0:06:49before they got to 18...

0:06:51 > 0:06:53So I would think

0:06:53 > 0:06:55they probably haven't got up to 47,

0:06:55 > 0:06:56so I would say 27.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Because I don't think there's been time for 47.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Very good logic. You're right.

0:07:01 > 0:07:0327 is the answer.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06So clarify this, some Eggheads, for me?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Brilliant of Judith to say the 18th was Prohibition - is that right?

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Famous one since then?

0:07:11 > 0:07:12So you mentioned Lincoln just now.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15The Abolition of Slavery was the 13th.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17At the end of the Civil War.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19And they tend to be fairly few and far between.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22So the most recent one was 1992.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- What was that?- That was one to make sure that

0:07:25 > 0:07:29elected representatives couldn't vote themselves pay rises

0:07:29 > 0:07:32before an election had intervened.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34OK. They're good, aren't they?

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Pretty fascinating hearing that, actually. Didn't know any of that.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Judith, you've won the round.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43Andy, sorry, you've been knocked out by our Egghead, but as you can see, they are quite good.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46We'll see if they sustain that form over the contest today.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Do, both of you, please come back to us and rejoin your team-mates.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54So, as it stands, Storm Queen have lost one brain from the final round,

0:07:54 > 0:07:56whilst the Eggheads have not lost any.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58The next subject is Science.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00How do you fancy that?

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Definitely Ady.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Which one of us is going to make a fool of ourselves - you or me?- You!

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Ady, don't be too modest. I think you're the...

0:08:08 > 0:08:10He's got the wisdom.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Definitely you.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Choose an Egghead. Anyone but Judith.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Who do you want terminated?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18ALL LAUGH

0:08:18 > 0:08:20He says, confidently!

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Who do you think?

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Kevin?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25You'll be lucky!

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- I would like to take on Kevin. - Very good, Ady.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31Ady from the Storm Queen versus Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34And just to ensure there's no conferring,

0:08:34 > 0:08:37please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39So, good luck, Ady.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43Good luck to the challengers knocking an Egghead out, especially this one.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll let Kevin go first.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Here is your question, Kevin.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Which word used for the phases of the moon

0:08:53 > 0:08:54is the opposite of waxing?

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Well, the moon waxes and wanes,

0:09:01 > 0:09:02so it's waning.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Waning is correct.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05OK, Ady.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Which tree with distinctive white bark

0:09:09 > 0:09:11has the scientific name

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Betula pendula?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20I'll spell it. B-E-T-U-L-A

0:09:20 > 0:09:22and then P-E-N-D-U-L-A.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25The obvious answer would be silver birch,

0:09:25 > 0:09:27because it does have white bark, I know.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30But the pendula is a bit of a trick for me.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I'm pretty sure it's not Scots pine,

0:09:34 > 0:09:36but that's probably the worst thing to say.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Sycamore it could be, but I'm not...

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I'm not familiar with sycamores having famously white barks,

0:09:41 > 0:09:44so I think I'll go with the obvious answer and silver birch.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45I'm so pleased you did. You're right.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Silver birch it is.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Kevin, which chemical compound

0:09:52 > 0:09:54has the formula NaCl?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Otherwise known as salt, it's sodium chloride.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Sodium chloride is the right answer.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08OK, Ady, your question.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11What type of creature is a bananaquit?

0:10:14 > 0:10:17I'll spell it. It's basically the word "banana"

0:10:17 > 0:10:19with the word "quit" on the end, but it's all one word.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Bananaquit.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Honest...

0:10:24 > 0:10:26I have absolutely no idea.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29So I'm going to make an educated guess.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33But my education is letting me down here.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35It's the sort of...

0:10:35 > 0:10:37name

0:10:37 > 0:10:40that I would give to something small and creepy,

0:10:40 > 0:10:42so I'll go with insect.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Do you know, Kevin? Is he right?

0:10:43 > 0:10:45I don't know it.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48I don't think I've ever heard it before.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49I might have gone for snake, possibly.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Maybe the idea of a bunch of bananas

0:10:51 > 0:10:54being taken off the tree and something that slithers away.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56No, both wrong. Bird is the answer.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Yeah, it's a bird.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Daphne, have you got one at home?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02No, but I'd just know it was a bird.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04You were looking very expectant there.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07You know it's a bird - why? Because you've come across it?

0:11:07 > 0:11:09- I've read about it. - You've read about it.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Are there any bananaquits in these crime thrillers you read?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14- No.- Different kind of book?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Yes. I like encyclopaedias!

0:11:17 > 0:11:20You read encyclopaedias?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22- That's all we need!- Sorry!

0:11:22 > 0:11:24They read encyclopaedias.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26OK, so, third question,

0:11:26 > 0:11:27and it's Kevin's.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31The Crab Nebula is in which constellation, Kevin?

0:11:34 > 0:11:36That's annoying.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Before the choices came up, I was just trying to think,

0:11:39 > 0:11:40is it Orion or Taurus?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's not Gemini.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47I think it's Taurus. Taurus.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Taurus is the right answer, so three correct questions for Kevin

0:11:51 > 0:11:53means he has the round, Ady, sorry.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56It was the wretched, dratted bananaquit

0:11:56 > 0:11:58that did it.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00And you've been knocked out.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Both of you, please come back here and rejoin your teams.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08So, as it stands, Storm Queen are caught in the hurricane a bit here.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Lost two brains from the final round.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12The Eggheads have not lost any so far.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14The next subject for you is Geography.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Geography!

0:12:16 > 0:12:18- I'm thinking this is you, Ian, isn't it?- It could be myself.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21It could also be my friend Rosie,

0:12:21 > 0:12:23who was also a travel agent, so...

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- No, I'll give it to you. - Shall I go for it? OK.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28OK, Ian. Against which Egghead?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30They'll all good at Geography!

0:12:30 > 0:12:32I think maybe...Chris?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Could I have Chris, please?- OK.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Basically, if it's on a train timetable, he's heard of it.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Yeah!- That's the bottom line.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44So Ian from Storm Queen versus Chris from the Eggheads

0:12:44 > 0:12:46on Geography. Please go to the Question Room.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Ian, I know this is right up your street.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Well, it certainly should be.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54I've worked in travel for...

0:12:54 > 0:12:5620, maybe 30 years.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58So if I get anything wrong here,

0:12:58 > 0:13:04all of my ex-colleagues will be scolding me, laughing at me, etc, etc!

0:13:04 > 0:13:08So when you used to advise people on where to go,

0:13:08 > 0:13:11do you have to have gone to those places yourself?

0:13:11 > 0:13:14You didn't have to, but it was strongly encouraged,

0:13:14 > 0:13:17as the best way to recommend a place is actually

0:13:17 > 0:13:20your own personal experience of having been there,

0:13:20 > 0:13:23which was great, because I've been to Australia,

0:13:23 > 0:13:28the Amazon, America, loads of places. So it's great.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29And best trip?

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Got to be the Amazon jungle.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Just the trip of a lifetime.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35How amazing. Have you been there, Chris?

0:13:35 > 0:13:39You wouldn't get me up the Amazon for a gold-plated pension!

0:13:39 > 0:13:40LAUGHTER

0:13:40 > 0:13:43I will resist the temptation to enquire why, Chris.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47And I'll ask Ian simply whether you want the first or second set of questions on Geography.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50I would like to go first, Jeremy.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Here is your first question, Ian.

0:13:56 > 0:13:57The Iranian capital Tehran

0:13:57 > 0:13:59is situated just over 60 miles south

0:13:59 > 0:14:02of which of these bodies of water?

0:14:07 > 0:14:12OK, I'm definitely going to rule out the Tasman Sea.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Not quite sure...

0:14:15 > 0:14:18between the Caspian and Bering.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21But I'm going to go with my first instinct

0:14:21 > 0:14:23and say the Caspian Sea.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm glad you did. Caspian is the right answer, Ian. Well done.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Chris, your question. The town of Yeovil

0:14:31 > 0:14:32is in which English county?

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Hmm, Yeovil.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Westland Aviation, Petter's oil engines.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41It's in Somerset.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43It is indeed in Somerset.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47There we are - it was on the train map, so he got it right, Ian!

0:14:47 > 0:14:49As soon as he goes outside, you watch.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Here is your question. Which of these Indian Ocean islands

0:14:51 > 0:14:53is located north of the Equator?

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Um...

0:14:59 > 0:15:02They're all pretty close, I think.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07So it's going to have to be a guess,

0:15:07 > 0:15:11and I'm going to go right down the middle and say Mauritius.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Mauritius is not.

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Sri Lanka is the answer.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- OK.- Sri Lanka. OK, Chris.

0:15:19 > 0:15:24The town of Mytilene is the capital of which Aegean island?

0:15:27 > 0:15:31Chris, Mytilene is spelt M-Y-T-I-L-E-N-E.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Yeah.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36Turns up in the alleged Shakespeare play Pericles.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39Hmm... Mytilene.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41Patmos...

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Hmm.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Um...

0:15:47 > 0:15:49It's on Naxos, surely.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Ariadne Auf Naxos, by Richard Strauss.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Naxos.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55It's not Naxos, Chris, it's Lesbos.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Oh, right, yeah.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Ian, good news for you - equal after two questions.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Here's your third question.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04What is the approximate population of Bangladesh?

0:16:09 > 0:16:12OK, I don't know for sure,

0:16:12 > 0:16:14but I imagine it's going to be pretty high.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Let's go...

0:16:18 > 0:16:19for...

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Down the middle again. 100 million.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26There's even more than that - there's 150 million, actually.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28OK, Chris, you have the chance to take the round. Here we go.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31The sub-Arctic and sub-Alpine landscape

0:16:31 > 0:16:35known as krummholz takes it name from which feature?

0:16:40 > 0:16:41Krummholz.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45It's not frozen soil - that's permafrost.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Er... Krummholz.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49German term.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Germans like shattering things.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Frost-shattered rock, Jeremy.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58It is frost-shattered rock,

0:16:58 > 0:17:01because - and I quote - Germans like to shatter things.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04You're playing fantastically...

0:17:04 > 0:17:06I won't say well, but entertainingly here.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09You're wrong, Chris. It is twisted trees.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11So that's good, Ian, isn't it?

0:17:11 > 0:17:12Yes, sounds good!

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Extraordinary round for Chris there.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Three questions each, the scores are level, so we go to Sudden Death.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21It gets a bit harder, because I don't give you alternative answers.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Here is your first question. Good luck.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27The Fylde peninsula has a coastline on which sea?

0:17:27 > 0:17:31The Fylde peninsula has a coastline on which sea?

0:17:31 > 0:17:35I don't know, Jeremy, but it sounds a little bit

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Scandinavian,

0:17:38 > 0:17:40so I'm going to have a stab...

0:17:40 > 0:17:41Let's see.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43North Sea.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46It is not the North Sea, Ian, it's the Irish Sea.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47- OK.- The Irish Sea.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49OK, Chris, for the round.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Which Cumbrian town is located where the River Cocker

0:17:52 > 0:17:54flows into the River Derwent?

0:17:56 > 0:17:57Mmm.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01That must be Cockermouth.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03You've got it.

0:18:03 > 0:18:04- Cockermouth in Penrith.- Yes.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08Putting the two bits of the sentence together, you get Cockermouth.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Cockermouth is the right answer, Chris.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Well done. You've taken that round on Geography.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16Ian, sorry. On other questions, you would have taken the round yourself.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19- They just didn't fall for you.- OK. - Please come back to us.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Bad luck, Ian.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26The travel often takes you outside the UK, but the UK questions are harder.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30It just shows you, you just don't know what's going to come up. But there we go.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Not out of it yet by any manner of means.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36- The last team who won won with one player left.- Really?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38And they had a torrid time.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Didn't they?- ALL: Yes.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43A very tough time and they won with one player.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45They won the second all-time highest jackpot as well.

0:18:45 > 0:18:49As it stands, the Storm Queen have lost three brains from the final round.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53The next subject is Film & Television.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55So who would like Film & TV?

0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Film and TV.- I'll go for Film & TV.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Nicole?- I'm going to go...

0:19:00 > 0:19:02- All agreed?- Yes.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Well done.- OK, Nicole. Against which Egghead?

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Daphne and Dave still to choose from.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Daphne!- I think Daphne.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Definitely. She's my favourite.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Is she your favourite? OK.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18That is a very nice reason to choose someone.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Because you want to be in the Question Room with her!

0:19:20 > 0:19:23OK, Nicole from Storm Queen versus Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Please go to the Question Room now.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Nicole, you work in the Storm Queen bar as the barmaid?- Yeah.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33- That's right.- But you're studying as well?- Yes.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35I study chemistry.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37So you could have done the Science round too?

0:19:37 > 0:19:41No, not really. Ady's got the wisdom - far more years than me!

0:19:41 > 0:19:44So you're up against Daphne and you were saying she's your favourite.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45Definitely, yeah.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48You've got a lot of fans, Daphne, and not just in Weston-super-Mare.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Oh!

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Thank you.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Do you get stopped in the street a lot?- Yes.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55But people are lovely.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57They are so sweet

0:19:57 > 0:20:00and they always tell me how much

0:20:00 > 0:20:02they enjoy the show.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Well, here's another one you're playing against now.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06So we wish you well, Nicole.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Film & TV against Daphne. Would you like to go first or second?

0:20:09 > 0:20:11I'd like to go second, please.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Daphne, your first question.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Which TV character has a PA called Lynn

0:20:18 > 0:20:21and a Ukrainian girlfriend called Sonja?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30I haven't watched any of them.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Oh, crumbs!

0:20:35 > 0:20:36Alan Partridge.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39You haven't watched any of those? Really?

0:20:39 > 0:20:40No, honestly.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43- You don't enjoy The Office? - I've never seen it.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47You've got such a treat coming when you get into The Office box set.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Alan Partridge is the right answer. - Oh!

0:20:51 > 0:20:53That was a guess.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I don't believe that was a guess.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Again, your guessing is amazing. Supernatural.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00OK, Nicole. The TV drama Ripper Street

0:21:00 > 0:21:02is set in which part of Victorian London?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10This is a guess as well.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12I think I'm going to go for

0:21:12 > 0:21:13Chelsea.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Eggheads, do you know? - ALL: Whitechapel.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Whitechapel, because that's where Jack the Ripper was operating.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Nicole, I'm sorry. Not Chelsea. Whitechapel.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Daphne, your question.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28In 2011, which Blue Peter presenter

0:21:28 > 0:21:32walked a 150-metre tightrope

0:21:32 > 0:21:34between the chimneys of Battersea Power Station

0:21:34 > 0:21:37in order to raise money for Comic Relief?

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Well, I think...

0:21:46 > 0:21:50..the one who does the most dangerous things there

0:21:50 > 0:21:53is Helen Skelton.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55And if she did it...phew!

0:21:56 > 0:21:59So I'm going for Helen Skelton.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Helen Skelton is the right answer.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Nicole, which British actress

0:22:04 > 0:22:09stars as Gretel in the 2013 film Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters?

0:22:15 > 0:22:18I'm going to go for Gemma Arterton.

0:22:18 > 0:22:19No idea.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23You've got it right, Nicole. Well done.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Gemma Arterton it is.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27OK, if Daphne gets this one right,

0:22:27 > 0:22:30she will be in the final, because she went first.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Here's your question, Daphne.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35In the 1935 Oscar-winning film Mutiny On The Bounty,

0:22:35 > 0:22:37who played Captain Bligh

0:22:37 > 0:22:39opposite Clark Gable as Fletcher Christian?

0:22:43 > 0:22:471935... I'm not quite that old.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49But it is Charles Laughton.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52If you've got this right, you're in the final round.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55The answer is Charles Laughton.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56Sorry, Nicole.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Because she went first, the wrong answer really cost you there.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01So bad luck to you.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Knocked out.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04Daphne in the final.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Come back and see how your team does now.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10So this is what we have been playing towards.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12It's time for the final round,

0:23:12 > 0:23:14which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:23:16 > 0:23:19won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22So Ian, Ady, Andy and Nicole from Storm Queen,

0:23:22 > 0:23:24would you please leave the studio?

0:23:25 > 0:23:27So here we are, Rosie.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29It wasn't quite the plan.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32But you can still win. In fact, the last team won

0:23:32 > 0:23:34with just the one player.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37So you're playing to win Storm Queen £1,000.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Judith, Kevin, Dave, Daphne, Chris,

0:23:40 > 0:23:41you're playing for something

0:23:41 > 0:23:44that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54And you are allowed to confer. I know that doesn't help much.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55So, Rosie, the question is,

0:23:55 > 0:23:58is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:23:58 > 0:24:02- And would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Good luck to you, Rosie. Here we go.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10For what does the letter B stand

0:24:10 > 0:24:13in the abbreviation AONB

0:24:13 > 0:24:18that denotes areas of particular scenic or landscape value?

0:24:22 > 0:24:24An area of natural beauty.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Beauty is the right answer, Rosie.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Good.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Over to you, Eggheads.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Which song features the lines "When the night has come

0:24:34 > 0:24:39"and the land is dark and the moon is the only light we'll see"?

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Stand By Me, Ben E King.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Stand By Me. We believe that's Stand By Me, Jeremy.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Stand By Me is your answer.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56# When the night has come... # That's the one - Stand By Me.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58OK, Rosie.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02Which symbol featured on the flag of France in the Middle Ages?

0:25:06 > 0:25:09That was the fleur-de-lis.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12Not even a moment's hesitation. The fleur-de-lis is correct.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Well done.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15Eggheads,

0:25:15 > 0:25:18what are the first names of the writer and critic known as

0:25:18 > 0:25:20AA Gill?

0:25:25 > 0:25:26- Adrian Anthony.- OK.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28His daughter's my god-daughter.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31So I really do know that!

0:25:31 > 0:25:32Judith knows!

0:25:32 > 0:25:35So we're agreed Adrian Anthony, yeah?

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Judith knows that it's Adrian Anthony, Jeremy.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Adrian Anthony is the right answer.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43So, Rosie, get this one right,

0:25:43 > 0:25:44put some pressure on them.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47On his wedding day, the heavyweight boxer Joe Louis

0:25:47 > 0:25:50defeated which opponent in four rounds?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58This is my grandmother's favourite boxer!

0:25:58 > 0:26:01And she had a photograph signed by him.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03It was her most treasured possession.

0:26:03 > 0:26:051938.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09I hope I don't let her down.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13I don't think it was Jack Dempsey.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15It's between Tommy Farr...

0:26:19 > 0:26:21I'm going to go Tommy Farr.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Tommy Farr is your answer.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26And it was your grandmother who had the photo.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28The person who really knows about boxing is Dave.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30I wouldn't know.

0:26:30 > 0:26:31I would have guessed

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Max Baer myself,

0:26:33 > 0:26:34but, you know...

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I'm not really sure.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40I thought he was perhaps a little bit too obvious, but...

0:26:41 > 0:26:43- The answer is Max Baer.- Oh!

0:26:45 > 0:26:50- Bad luck. I was certain...- I never go for the obvious, but...

0:26:50 > 0:26:52It's not over.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Eggheads, which European city has train stations

0:26:55 > 0:26:58notable for their Art Nouveau designs

0:26:58 > 0:27:01by the architect Otto Wagner?

0:27:03 > 0:27:05- It's Vienna, yeah?- Yes.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07We're all agreed.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10It's Vienna, Jeremy.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12You didn't hesitate.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14You've all been there or know about it or what?

0:27:14 > 0:27:15Been there, yeah.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17The answer, Eggheads, is Vienna,

0:27:17 > 0:27:20so we say congratulations. You have won.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Commiserations, Rosie. You played in a way that made me think,

0:27:28 > 0:27:31"Oh, my goodness, you're about to completely take them here."

0:27:31 > 0:27:35I always do that in multiple choice questions!

0:27:35 > 0:27:37I over-think it.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39The last one - you had a way in.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41You just maybe backed off the obvious answer

0:27:41 > 0:27:43- and...bad luck.- Why?!

0:27:43 > 0:27:47Don't worry. It was great to play with you in the team.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50- I'm happy it's rolling over for the next lot.- That's great.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Commiserations, Storm Queen.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58Obviously, they had a bad tangle in the last game,

0:27:58 > 0:28:00but they're just about steady on their feet again.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Thanks for giving them a run for their money.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05It does mean you won't be going home with the £1,000.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07That money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Eggheads, well done.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12Back on track? I wonder.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:14 > 0:28:16have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18£2,000 says they don't.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Until then, goodbye.
