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.
