0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - the Eggheads!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Challenging our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:39are The Faginites from the Rhondda Valley.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43These friends regularly attend the pub quiz at their local, Fagin's.
0:00:43 > 0:00:49They usually quiz on separate teams, but have put rivalries aside to take on the Eggheads.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm David, I'm 57 and a leaflet distributor.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Irene, I'm 76 and I'm a retired businesswoman.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03I'm Colin, I'm aged 63 and I'm a retired civil servant.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Barbara, I'm 66 and a retired business studies and IT teacher.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13I'm Viv, I'm 63 and I'm a retired history teacher.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19- David and team, welcome to you. - Thank you.- Is it hard-fought, this quiz in the Fagin Arms?
0:01:19 > 0:01:26- Yes, quite hard-fought.- So who comes out on top when you're in separate teams? Or should I not ask that?
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- No!- It'll spoil the atmosphere. - We all win in turns. - Do you watch the show?
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- Oh, yes.- Regularly. - And what do you think of this band...
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- - They're all right.- ..of oddballs? - - They're very hard to beat.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43They are. Let's see what happens.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51If they fail to win, that rolls over to the next show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- so £3,000 says you can't beat them. Would you like to try?- Yes, please!
0:01:59 > 0:02:04The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film and Television.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Which one of you wants this?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- That's Viv.- My pigeon. - OK, Viv on this.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16- Yes.- Who would you like to play against, Viv? You can choose from any one of them.
0:02:16 > 0:02:23- I think I'll go for... for Pat, please.- OK, so it is Viv from the Faginites
0:02:23 > 0:02:29against Pat from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Viv, you're taking Film and TV.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Yes, that's my chosen subject. - But you're a retired history teacher.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43I'm afraid of taking history in case I get something wrong and never live down the shame.
0:02:43 > 0:02:50It's funny you say that. I often feel for people when they go in on science and they're biochemists
0:02:50 > 0:02:55and they mess it up and it strikes them to the very heart.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01I'm sure you've done the right thing. OK, your questions. You can choose the first or second set.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05I think I'll go first, please. Go first, come second.
0:03:08 > 0:03:14I'm sure not. Here we go. Which TV comedy started out as a French and Saunders sketch
0:03:14 > 0:03:16entitled Modern Mother and Daughter?
0:03:20 > 0:03:26I don't think it's The Vicar of Dibley or Murder Most Horrid, for that matter.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32It sounds like the mother/daughter relationship in Absolutely Fabulous, so that's my answer.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Absolutely Fabulous is right. Well done, Viv. OK, Pat,
0:03:37 > 0:03:42in which film does Robert De Niro's character shave his hair into a Mohawk?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53It's the malcontent Travis Bickle
0:03:53 > 0:03:58in Taxi Driver, who goes into ninja mode.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- "You talkin' to me?" - Who you talkin' to?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Taxi Driver. What a film that is!- Great film.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Goodness me. OK, over to you, Viv.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Which film in the original Star Trek franchise is subtitled The Final Frontier?
0:04:20 > 0:04:26Now I've always been a huge Star Trek fan, but mostly of the TV series.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30The films never seemed to be quite as good.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I don't think it's Star Trek III. Too early.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Em...
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I'd probably plump for Star Trek V.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Excellent work. You've got it right. A hard question.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46OK, Pat,
0:04:46 > 0:04:52in which children's TV show was the town hall clock said to be telling the time steadily, sensibly,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54never too quickly, never too slowly?
0:04:58 > 0:05:03One of the great problems with TV quiz questions
0:05:03 > 0:05:08is telling the difference between Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Happily, I don't have to confront that here. Well, of the three,
0:05:13 > 0:05:19Trumpton is a very civic sort of production with the fire station and the fort
0:05:19 > 0:05:21and the policeman.
0:05:21 > 0:05:29I don't know the answer, but I suspect Trumpton is the most likely to have a town hall clock like that.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Trumpton is the right answer. Those names roll back the years!
0:05:32 > 0:05:37- A bit.- I don't think I've sais Mary, Mungo and Midge since I was a kid.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Ah! OK...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Your third question, Viv.
0:05:42 > 0:05:49Which animator and film producer founded the Laugh-O-Grams Film Company in 1922?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Laugh-O-Gram is the company.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02I have it at the back of my mind that I think Walt Disney would be later anyway.
0:06:02 > 0:06:09And Chuck Jones was always heavily involved with Tom and Jerry and other cartoons like that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12So I think I'll probably go for Tex Avery.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17It was actually Walt Disney, interestingly. The obvious one.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20So that has
0:06:20 > 0:06:22given Pat a chink of daylight here.
0:06:22 > 0:06:29Littlewood is the maiden name of which Coronation Street character, Pat?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Oh!
0:06:33 > 0:06:38I've a suspicion Emily, who was at one time Bishop,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42I think she was Nugent. That was her original name.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Spider Nugent was her nephew.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48So maybe I'll dismiss Emily.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Gail is the multiply-married Gail Tilsley, Gail Platt
0:06:52 > 0:06:55and I think Gail Potter.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01Rita Fairclough. She married Len Fairclough. Was she Rita Littlewood?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09I don't know, but of the three I'm inclined towards Rita.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Think he's right, Viv? - I think he's right, definitely.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Rita is the right answer.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Sorry, Viv. He's a very tight player.- A very good player.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26Well done to Pat. You're in the final round. Viv, at least it wasn't history. Rejoin your teammates.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33So, as it stands, the Faginites have lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35The Eggheads are, so far, intact.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Who would like this?
0:07:40 > 0:07:46- Intake of breath!- Me.- Irene, you took the intake of breath, then you volunteered!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Against which Egghead, Irene?
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- I think I'll have the smiling Dave. - Smiling Tremendous Knowledge Dave against Irene.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Please go to the question room.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- I know musicals are your passion, Irene.- That's right.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03You've spent a life putting them on.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08- Yes, about 40 years.- Amazing. What kind of things have you done?
0:08:08 > 0:08:13I started in Edinburgh in the Gilbert and Sullivan Society chorus,
0:08:13 > 0:08:20worked my way up, came to South Wales and there was a vacancy for a musical director.
0:08:20 > 0:08:26I knew more about music than anybody else, so I volunteered, fool that I was!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28And 40 years later, I gave up!
0:08:28 > 0:08:33OK, Arts and Books against Dave. Would you like first or second?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I'll buck the trend and go second.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Here we go, Dave. In art, what term is used to describe a substance such as wax crayon
0:08:45 > 0:08:47that repels paint?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'll go for Remove.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58It's interesting, that. I'm confused by this as well.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- The answer is Resist. - Oh, right. Wouldn't know.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05There we are. It's a Resist. Chris, make sense to you?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Yeah.- If Chris says it's right, it's right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Irene, how about that?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14You're in the lead.
0:00:00 > 0:00:00In the theatre, the time a show starts is described as the time it does what?
0:09:23 > 0:09:28It's got to go up, surely. I haven't heard the expression.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30You're quite right.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32APPLAUSE
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Two interesting questions.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42Dave, who wrote the time travel short story The Chronic Argonauts in 1888,
0:09:42 > 0:09:47seven years before his more famous novel on the same subject?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I've got to go HG Wells.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Because his more famous novel was...?- The Time Machine?- Yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02OK, Irene, over to you.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Henry James' novel The Ambassadors tells the story of an American man travelling to where?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15The answer is I don't know.
0:10:15 > 0:10:21So I've got to bring into play either science or logic.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- My logic tells me go for Asia. - It's Europe.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30OK. So you are equal.
0:10:30 > 0:10:38Third question, Dave. For what does the letter E stand in the name of the author E Nesbit?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Edith.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Not a second's hesitation. You're right. Edith is correct.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Irene, you've got to get this.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55The eyes of Dr TJ Eckleburg painted on an advertising hoarding
0:10:55 > 0:10:59is a recurring motif in which novel?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I haven't heard of As I Lay Dying.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12I haven't heard about the eyes. I'll go for The Great Gatsby.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15You're right! The Great Gatsby.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23Interesting. We go to sudden death, Dave. It becomes a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29Little Eyolf and When We Dead Awaken are plays by which Norwegian writer
0:11:29 > 0:11:32who died in 1906?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Henrik Ibsen?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Ibsen is right. Henrik Ibsen.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Irene, because he's gone first,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43he's got you on the back foot. Here's your question.
0:11:43 > 0:11:51Who wrote the novel Libra, about Lee Harvey Oswald and his involvement in the assassination of JFK?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56The answer is I don't know.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I'm trying to think of an author of that time.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Try John Grisham. Probably wrong.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Anyone on your team know? Not John Grisham.
0:12:07 > 0:12:14- I thought it was. - Barbara thought it was John Grisham. It's actually Don DeLillo.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Don DeLillo.- Never heard of him.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21So Dave has taken the round and I'm afraid he's knocked you out.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26So thanks for playing. Come back, rejoin your teams, please.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Bad luck again to the Faginites. They've lost another brain.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35That's two gone. The Eggheads have not lost a brain.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38How frustrating is that? The next subject is Sport.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Which Faginite wants Sport?
0:12:41 > 0:12:47- I'll take Sport on.- OK, David. Against an Egghead. - It's got to be Chris, hasn't it?
0:12:47 > 0:12:53- Diolch yn fawr iawn! - Does that translate as anything...?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- "Thank you very much"!- OK.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01So David from the Faginites versus Chris, who is fluent in Welsh.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I gather your sport is darts, David.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15- Yes, I play darts on a Sunday night. - You like to play darts. - And a Friday night.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20We had a question: what is the quickest way to 501? Nine darts?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Nine darts, yes.- Three triple 20s...?
0:13:23 > 0:13:29- 180, 180 and 141. - Have you ever done that?- No.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- My highest out is 154. - Highest out.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39So 154. The commentators are so fast when they do it. What would that be? Triple 20...
0:13:39 > 0:13:45- Yeah.- And double 17? - Treble 20, treble 18, bull.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51- That's very good. Did you have to buy a pint for everyone? - No, they bought me one!
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Well, good luck.- Thank you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Sport, David. First or second? - First, please.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Here's your question. Which golfer earned his 75th victory on the PGA Tour
0:14:07 > 0:14:10when he won the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in 2013?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Ooh...
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I don't think it's Rory because he's a bit young.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Tiger's a bit young. I think I'll go for Vijay Singh.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32OK, there's a murmur of discontent in the Eggheads here.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Is it wrong?- It's Tiger.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40- It's Tiger!- Oh, is it.- David, sorry. Chris, your question.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46The midfielder John Obi Mikel made his international football debut for which country in 2005?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It doesn't sound Portuguese.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56They tend to use home-grown talent.
0:14:56 > 0:15:03Don't think the USA do much international football, so I'll say he's from Nigeria.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06And he is from Nigeria. Plays for Chelsea.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09OK, your question, David.
0:15:09 > 0:15:16In January, 2013, the BBC revealed that one of the most watched clips from the 2012 Olympics website
0:15:16 > 0:15:21was the German Stephan Feck's performance in which sport?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I don't think it's weightlifting.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34I think most of them were done by the Asians.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I don't think it was diving.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I think it might be gymnastics.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I've got a memory of this. Something happened.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47What would happen in this clip?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50A dive went catastrophically wrong.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56It was diving. He ended up doing a bomb into the water.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58He wasn't ready. He came off early.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- Oh.- Yeah. He didn't just make a splash, he made a fool of himself.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Diving is the answer. Chris, get this and you've won on Sport.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09How good will that feel?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14What is the name of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club's limited overs team?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Now Nottingham is associated with the legend of Robin Hood.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Sherwood Forest and all that. And they were outlaws.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35If I wanted a name for a cricket team, I'd go for Outlaws.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Outlaws is quite right, Chris. You've taken the round.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40David, sorry.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45You've been knocked out. Please come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52So, as it stands, the Faginites have lost three brains. The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54The next subject is Geography.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02- Is that good news or bad?- It would have been mine.- Bad.- I'm locked.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- I'm more happy than Barbara. - It's Colin, then.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Except I'll be last!- You'll be left on your own, Barbara!
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- I will!- No, you won't.- OK, which Egghead? Daphne or Barry?
0:17:15 > 0:17:23- Look at Daphne's smile there. - Daphne, please.- Colin from the Faginites against our dear Daphne.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Please go to the question room.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32- So, Geography, Colin. Good luck to you. First or second? - First, please.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39You'll like this one. Ebbw Vale...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42..is a town in which part of the UK?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50It's definitely not Northern Ireland or Scotland. It's Wales.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57- If you got that wrong... - I wouldn't be able to go home. - You would have to relocate.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Move house. Wales is correct.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Like asking you where Weston-super-Mare is, Daphne.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10The level in a landscape above which snow or ice cover the ground throughout the year
0:18:10 > 0:18:12is known as what?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20That's the snow line.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26Snow line is correct. One each. Back to Colin. They may get harder.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Which of these Balearic islands is most northerly?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I really don't know.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I'll go Formentera.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Do you know, Daphers? - No, actually, I don't.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I might have guessed Ibiza, but it would have been a guess.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Menorca is the answer.- Oh. - Bad luck.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Daphne has a chance to go ahead.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03Which European country had a population in 2011 of 81.7 million?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Oh, gosh! I hate these questions.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I have no idea.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20Well, since my stepdaughter lives in Germany, Germany.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Very handy. Germany is correct. Spain... Let's go through them.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Poland is a lot fewer. Right?
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Poland's about 40 million. And Spain's about 42, 43.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- I think it's around that. - I think it's about that, yeah.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Colin, your question.
0:19:40 > 0:19:46Get this wrong and you're out and Barbara, as she feared, will play alone.
0:19:46 > 0:19:53So come on, Colin. In which US state is the Olympic National Park located?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I'm not sure. I'll say Arizona.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06It's Washington. Sorry, Colin.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08So no way back for you.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13We say well done, Daphne. You've beaten Colin on Geography.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18If you come back to us, both of you, rejoin your teams and we will play that final.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26So this is what we have been playing towards, the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Those of you who lost
0:20:28 > 0:20:35won't be allowed to take part, so David, Irene, Colin and Viv from the Faginites,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38please leave the studio.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43So, Barbara, you are playing to win the Faginites £3,000.
0:20:43 > 0:20:50Dave, Daphne, Chris, Barry and Pat play for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55I will ask each team three questions and they're all general knowledge.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00You are allowed to confer. I'm sorry that doesn't help you!
0:21:00 > 0:21:06Barbara, the question is is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:21:06 > 0:21:11- We'll see.- Exactly. As long as there's a question left to come, there's hope. First or second?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'll go first, please.
0:21:17 > 0:21:24Here we go, Barbara. Good luck. The abbreviation ETA is commonly used to mean estimated time of what?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I think that's arrival.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Estimated time of arrival is quite right. Well done.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Eggheads, a hobby horse
0:21:35 > 0:21:39is most likely to be used in which type of dancing?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- Morris.- Morris dancing.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's terrible.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49It's Morris dancing.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Morris dancing is right. Any Morris dancers here?
0:21:53 > 0:21:58- Chris, I fancy you'd be doing that in your spare time.- Dream on, pal!
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Hopping up and down in an outfit. No?- No.- With a bell?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03OK, one each, Barbara.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Don't be put off by their insanity.
0:22:07 > 0:22:15Which character appeared on the front page of the 1937 first issue of the Dandy comic?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Oh, I do not know this.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30The Dandy and other such comics were a bit before me, I believe.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- So 193... What was it? - Let me read it again.- Yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:41Which character appeared on the front page of the 1937 first issue of the Dandy comic?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44A pure guess. Korky the Cat.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- Is she right?- Yep.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Yay! You got it right.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Beryl the Peril is mates with Dennis the Menace. He was The Beano?- Mm-hm.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58- OK. Korky the Cat is correct. - Thank you.- You're playing well.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00In the late 1940s,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Ferruccio Lamborghini, later a maker of sports cars,
0:23:04 > 0:23:09began his first automobile business building what type of vehicles?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Tractors, wasn't it?- Tractors.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- All happy?- Yes.- Lamborghini started out building tractors,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22but very fast tractors!
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I can imagine. Tractors is the right answer.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28How interesting. Didn't know that.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- I didn't know that, either. - I'm glad you went first.- Yes!
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Get this right, then wait and hope they get theirs wrong. You never know.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41What type of creature is the jacana?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44What type of creature is the jacana?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I've never heard of it, I must say.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Jacana...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I'll go for wading bird.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08- You're playing so well! Wading bird is correct.- Thank you, God!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Three out of three. Well done.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15And your team are very pleased. I can see behind you.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- It's a very interesting bird. It can walk on water.- Can it?
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Its feet are spread so far it can run across the surface of water.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- It's called the lily trotter. - The lily trotter?- Yes.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33- Whereabouts in the world would you find it?- South America.- Mm-hm.
0:24:33 > 0:24:40OK. Well, Eggheads, you're just recovering from a really big defeat a few days ago
0:24:40 > 0:24:48where you went down with a huge jackpot and now you're on the edge of going down again!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51What's happening to you?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Get this wrong and the game is over.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00What Russian term was applied in the former Soviet Union to those who played key roles
0:25:00 > 0:25:03in the State and Communist Party machines?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- It's Nomenklatura.- Nomenklatura.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18- They were the bureaucrats. - The really well-connected ones.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- I was looking for apparatchik. - So was I!- Nomenklatura is the same.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- Happy?- Yeah.- We believe the answer to this is Nomenklatura.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Nomenklatura is the right answer. Three out of three for you both.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37- It gets harder. Sudden death.- Gosh! - And I don't give you alternatives.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43The Bundespolizei is the uniformed federal police force of which European country?
0:25:46 > 0:25:51- I believe it's Germany. - Germany is the right answer. Well done.- Thank you.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Again, Eggheads, on the edge.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59It's over if you get this one wrong. In which decade did the pound note cease to be legal tender in England?
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- I thought it was the '80s.- '80s. - 1988.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- Is it '83?- No. The pound coin came in '83.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10The legal tender stopped in 1988.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15- Oh, that's... We're happy with the '80s?- Yes, I'm pretty sure it's the '80s.
0:26:15 > 0:26:22I remember the pound notes well. We all believe they stopped being legal tender in the '80s.
0:26:23 > 0:26:271988 it was. The '80s is the correct answer.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Well done. Sudden death.
0:26:29 > 0:26:36Barbara, which French philosopher wrote a trilogy of novels known as The Roads to Freedom?
0:26:36 > 0:26:44Which French philosopher rote a trilogy of novels known as The Roads to Freedom?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I can only think of one. I'll say Rousseau.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54I would normally ask you for first name and last name, but it's wrong.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Jean-Paul Sartre.- Ah!
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Yeah.- OK.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00So this for the contest.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Your question on sudden death.
0:27:03 > 0:27:10What was the name of the Irish washer woman devised and played in music halls by Arthur Lucan
0:27:10 > 0:27:12and then Roy Rolland?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Old Mother Riley.- Yep.
0:27:14 > 0:27:21A wonderful character, this. Played with gusto and verve. It was Old Mother Riley.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26Old Mother Riley is the right answer. Congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:31 > 0:27:38- So we were talking about Beryl the Peril and Dennis the Menace. Beryl was in...- The Topper.- Yes.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44- Commiserations, Barbara and the Faginites. A storming round there. - I tried!
0:27:44 > 0:27:49Many have done what you did and won, but they were on better form today.
0:27:49 > 0:27:55- Commiserations to you.- Thank you. - The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00They still reign supreme over quiz land. You won't go with the £3,000,
0:28:00 > 0:28:05so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:05 > 0:28:10Join us next time to see if a new team can defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14£4,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
