0:00:04 > 0:00:07These 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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Taking on our quiz champions today are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:41This team of colleagues made up of Territorial Army soldiers,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43regular soldiers and permanent staff
0:00:43 > 0:00:49all work at the Castle Army Territorial Army Centre in Bury. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi. I'm Alan. I'm 54 and I'm an army officer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello. I'm Noelle. I'm 55 and I'm an MOD civil servant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04Hello. I'm Windy. I'm 35 and I'm a co-sergeant in the Regular army.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Daz. I'm 47.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I'm an HGV driver and a warrant officer in the Territorial Army.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Hi. I'm Charles. I'm 48 and I'm an MOD civil servant.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Alan and team, welcome to you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I said "CAY-TAC" and I'm thinking do you call it CATAC, or what?
0:01:19 > 0:01:20- CATAC.- CATAC, OK.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25So tell us about that armoury - army - centre.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27It's the TA Centre in the centre of Bury.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28There's a number of units there.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34There's 207 Field Hospital as well as Machine Gun Platoon from the Duke of Lancs regiment.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38We also have two cadet units, the army cadets and the air cadets
0:01:38 > 0:01:40as well as a fusilier band.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- You've been a soldier for a long time.- 32 years.
0:01:43 > 0:01:4432 years. OK.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So how are we going to take these on, these Eggheads.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Fixed bayonets?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52No, I'm a medic now. I can't do that!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55You can tend to the injured on this side, then!
0:01:55 > 0:02:00OK. Every day there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09So, CATAC, the Eggheads have won the last three games
0:02:09 > 0:02:12which means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Would you like to go for it? - Definitely.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17OK. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Which soldier would like History?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Oh, that's you, Daz.- That's me.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24That's me.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Daz. Daz against an Egghead. You can choose any one.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Barry?- Barry.- Barry.- Barry?- Barry.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Barry.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Barry, please.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Everybody said Barry, suddenly. Is that exciting to hear your name like that?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Yes, it is.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Daz from CATAC versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46To ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Daz, you're in the TA, I gather. - Yeah, that's right, Jeremy.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Is that quite a time commitment these days?- It is for me, yeah.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57OK. And you're an HGV driver, as well, so you're a busy man.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I am busy, I certainly am, Jeremy.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06Have you found time to get into a bit of history or did the team just volunteer you up?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I think I got volunteered.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Press ganged! The origins of press gang are a bit military, Barry?
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Yes. Naval. Recruiting sailors for the Royal Navy
0:03:17 > 0:03:20in the 17th, 18th, and even the beginning of the 19th century.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And they would go and just grab you out of the pub?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Basically, yes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Didn't happen to you, Daz, did it? - No, it didn't, Jeremy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31History is the subject, and you can choose, Daz, whether you go first or second.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I think I'll go first, Jeremy, please.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42A widely-reported alleged belief from which ancient civilisation
0:03:42 > 0:03:46stated that the world would end in 2012?
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Well, I'm going to go straight down the middle and say Mayan.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Mayan is the right answer. Yes.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59First point to CATAC.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05Barry, in which decade did the Government launch an SOS public service campaign
0:04:05 > 0:04:09asking people to switch off something in order to conserve energy?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Goodness. Switch off, conserve energy.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16The three-day week was in the '70s.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Early 1973.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I guess that's the first time we became truly energy conscious.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23So I shall go for the '70s.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25The 1970s is the correct answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29We go back to you, Daz.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Which of these became prime minister of Britain at the youngest age?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Well, Jeremy, Robert Peel was from Bury.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43And I think he was a bit older than that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So I'm going to guess at Pitt the Younger.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Do you know how old Pitt the Younger was, Barry?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- 24.- 24. And he's the right answer as well, Daz.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56If it hadn't been Pitt the Younger, you could have complained!
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Barry, the Battle of Vertieres of 1803
0:05:01 > 0:05:06was a decisive event between Haitian soldiers and forces from which country?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I think this was a battle in which the Haitians were led
0:05:11 > 0:05:14by a chap named Toussaint Louverture,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17who was trying to obtain independence from France.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19So I will go for France.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21France is correct.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- So that was on Haitian soil, was it? - It was, indeed, yes.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- A colonial type of thing.- Yes. - OK. Interesting.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30OK, Daz. In which year of World War II
0:05:30 > 0:05:33was Rome liberated by the Allies?
0:05:38 > 0:05:441942 is a bit early. I think it was 1944.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Absolutely right.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Military history right up your street.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52OK, Barry, to stay in.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Which Scottish islands are famous for the mysterious disappearance
0:05:56 > 0:06:00of three lighthouse keepers in 1900?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I remember reading about this.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I think the latest consensus is they all went out to look at a giant wave
0:06:11 > 0:06:14on the shoreline by their lighthouse
0:06:14 > 0:06:16and they were swept out to sea.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18But which islands were they?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23I think they were the Barra Islands, but I'm not 100% certain.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I'm not 100% certain, either. Well, I am that you're wrong!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Flannan Isles, it is.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33They disappeared on the same night, did they?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yes, all at the same time. When the people came back to the island,
0:06:36 > 0:06:40they even found their dinner still warm on their plates in the lighthouse.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Sorry, Barry. You've just been swept out to sea by a large wave as well!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Daz, you're in the final. You've knocked out an Egghead.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51A very good start for your team. Please come and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56So, as it stands, CATAC have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58The Eggheads have lost Barry.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00The next subject is Film & TV.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03See if you can keep the momentum going. Who'd like this?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- That's you, Windy, isn't it?- No.- No.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Who is it then?- If you want me to do it, I'll do it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Charles.- Against which Egghead?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- I reckon Pat.- Pat.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Yeah?- We were all ready to go and...
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I'll take it, yeah. Pat.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26OK. Charles from CATAC versus Pat from the Eggheads,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28please go to the question room now.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Charles, you're on Film & TV here, OK?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Yep. Thanks, Jeremy.- All right.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I see that you've holidayed around the world
0:07:36 > 0:07:39in places that all have one thing in common. You must tell us.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Yes. They all begin with the letter C.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- Do I have to ask why, or shall we not even...- It's just coincidence.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Oh, I see. Coincidence. So you've done Canada.- Yeah.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Cuba, Cyprus.- Cyprus.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Where's your next stop?- Cleethorpes!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58OK!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01There we are. All begin with C. I hope you have a good holiday there!
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Can I go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Your first question.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Ballando con le Stelle
0:08:13 > 0:08:15and Danca Dos Famosos,
0:08:15 > 0:08:21are the Italian and Brazilian versions of which UK TV programme?
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Ooh. Right. They don't really sound like dancing to me.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38The Apprentice doesn't strike me as being very South American.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I'm guessing here, but I'm going to go with Total Wipeout.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Total Wipeout is your answer.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50It's actually Strictly Come Dancing.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Strictly Come Dancing is the answer, Charles.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Over to Pat. Film and TV your subject. Here we go.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Elton John won an Oscar for his work on which animated 1994 film?
0:09:06 > 0:09:12My first thought is that it's The Lion King.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14But I'd better think it through.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Might be the song Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21All three are Disney productions.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25It wouldn't be a shock if he popped up on any of them, really.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I think it's Can You Feel the Love Tonight, so it's The Lion King.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33The Lion King is the right answer.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34That was the song, Daphne, was it?
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- With your musical knowledge? - I think so.- It is, yes.- Yes.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41It is. OK. Thank you.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Charles, who is the regular onscreen collaborator with Sue Perkins
0:09:45 > 0:09:48in the Supersizers TV series?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Crikey! I'm not familiar with that one, either.
0:09:57 > 0:10:04So I'm going to have to take a wild guess at this
0:10:04 > 0:10:07and go straight down the middle, Jeremy, for Gethin Jones.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It's not Gethin Jones. Any of your team-mates know?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'd have gone Gethin Jones, myself.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17They would have agreed with you, but it's wrong. It's Giles Coren.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Pat, your question.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Which actress won a Golden Globe in 2013
0:10:22 > 0:10:24for her performance as Sarah Palin
0:10:24 > 0:10:27in the TV movie Game Change?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I don't know the answer to this.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Of the three, I can most readily imagine Julianne Moore playing her,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40so I'll go for Julianne Moore.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Julianne Moore is the right answer.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46You've just got it. He just swept past you there, Charles,
0:10:46 > 0:10:51I'm afraid to say. No way back for you in this round. You won't be in the final and Pat will.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54If you both come back and rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59So, as it stands, CATAC have lost a brain now from the final round
0:10:59 > 0:11:02while the Eggheads have also lost a brain.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Interestingly poised. The next subject for you is Science.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Which of CATAC would like this?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- I'll do it. Yep.- Windy on Science. OK. Who are you going to blow away?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Can't be Barry or Pat.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Judith.- Judith, please.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28So Windy from CATAC on Science against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Please go to the question room.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Windy, good luck in this round.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36You're playing Judith. As you know, she has her moments.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Some of them will even result in her winning the round.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first, please.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK, Windy, here we go.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51What name is normally given to a very localised atmospheric zone
0:11:51 > 0:11:55in which the climate may differ considerably from the surrounding area?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05The answers are very similar.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I've got a feeling, something's coming to me saying miniclimate.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13But microclimate is very similar.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I'm going to go the more technical name of microclimate.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Your team-mates agree. It is microclimate. Well done.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28OK. We are on Science, Judith.
0:12:28 > 0:12:35In birds, what name is usually given to the muscular hind part of the stomach
0:12:35 > 0:12:40that contains small stones and grit to break up food?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Well, a proboscis is a nose.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48And a stifle is something to do with a horse.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51So I think it must be a gizzard.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Gizzard, strange word though it is, is the right answer.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Gizzard it is. Back to you, Windy.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02From which creature is the substance known as muktuk obtained?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Muktuk. M-U-K-T-U-K.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I've heard it, but there's none of them ringing a bell.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17There's two land animals and then a water creature there.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20So I'm going to go with the water creature. A whale.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Whale is correct.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Well done, Windy!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Here is your next question.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32The community of Sitka in Alaska gave its name to a type of what?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- There's a thing... Did you say S-I-T-K-A?- Yes, Sitka.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42There is a thing called a Sitka spruce. So I think it's a tree.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Very good. Tree is the right answer.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Windy, your third question.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51You've got two right. So get this right and put Judith under a bit of pressure.
0:13:51 > 0:13:57In medicine, the Babinski sign is a reflex action that occurs in which part of the body?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I have totally no idea.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06So this is going to be hopefully a lucky guess.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'm just going to try and break them down.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15They're all reflex, the foot, hand and the eye.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19The foot and hand are very similar, so again, I'll go with the eye.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24The eye has a lot of reflexes, but Daphne, I think you know?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27It's when you have a baby
0:14:27 > 0:14:29and you tickle under its foot.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33That's a Babinski reflex.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35It's the foot, Windy, I'm afraid.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Daphne has confirmed it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39That is the Babinski reflex.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42That was an easy way to get your name down in history,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45discover babies' feet move when you tickle them!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Judith, your question. Get this and you're in the final round.
0:14:49 > 0:14:55The Rashomon Effect which takes its name from the Japanese film of the 1950s
0:14:55 > 0:15:00is used by psychologists to describe which human characteristic?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I was just trying to think of the film.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I don't think I've ever seen it.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Rashomon Effect. What it was about.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Cos it's probably the clue.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It's probably some sort of Samurai film.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I think it might be perception.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Perception is the right answer. Well done, Judith.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26You're through to the final. Sorry, Windy.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31Two out of three wasn't good enough. They're playing very well today.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38As it stands, CATAC have lost two brains from the final round.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It's not a crisis, though. Keep plugging on.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44The next subject is Sport.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Who would like this?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- It's either me or Noelle. - I think it's Alan's.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I think Alan.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Yeah, I'll take that one, Jeremy.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55OK. Alan on Sport against either Daphne or Chris.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Down on the right.- Chris? - I wouldn't go Daphne,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00cos Daphne's really lucky on sport.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02She is good on sport, Daphne.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- So Chris.- She's too good.- Chris. - She's a laughing assassin.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Hear what they were saying, Daphne? - The laughing assassin.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Yes, I agree with you on that. The laughing assassin, they call you.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18So it's going to be Chris against Alan on Sport.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20If you go to the question room, we'll start.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23So, Sport it is, then, Alan.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Yep.- OK? Chris? - Yep. Here we are again.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31In an ideal world, Chris, what sporting questions would you have in this round?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33None!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36OK. Well, Alan, that should augur well.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Hopefully, yes.- Let's see how we go.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41You can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42First, please, Jeremy.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Since 2008, Alan, which of the tennis grand slam tournaments
0:16:49 > 0:16:53has been played on a Plexicushion surface?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Well, I'm pretty sure it's not Wimbledon.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I think it's the French Open.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Anyone know here?- Australian.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Australian Open it is.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Chris, at the London 2012 Olympics,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17remote controlled models of which type of vehicle
0:17:17 > 0:17:24were used on the field of play to transport equipment such as javelins and hammers?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Ah. Now, then.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34We're talking about a London icon here, aren't we?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Don't think it would be an ice cream van. Don't think it's a Mini.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39That's just a British icon.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Ice cream vans aren't iconic of much at all,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44so it'll be a double-decker bus.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Presumably a Route Master!
0:17:47 > 0:17:48I would absolutely agree with you,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and the word miniature suggests that as well.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- It's not, though.- Oh.- It's not that, it's Mini car.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Yeah, a British icon, but...
0:17:58 > 0:18:02How you get a javelin in a Mini, I'm not sure! Or mini Mini.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Anyway, ours not to reason why.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06You're level.
0:18:06 > 0:18:13Alan, your question. Schneeman the Snowman was the mascot of which Winter Olympics?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23The one I wanted didn't come up there.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I did have a plan that I've already broken.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30That was if I was in doubt, go straight down the middle.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But this time I'm going to go for Innsbruck instead.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Innsbruck is the right answer. Well done.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39OK, Chris. Your question.
0:18:39 > 0:18:46In February 2013, Billy Twelvetrees made his international rugby union debut for which side?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Twelvetrees. I think he's a New Zealander.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Yeah. New Zealand.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59The Eggs are laughing.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- What's wrong, Eggs?- It's England!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03England is the answer.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05So you're in the lead, Alan.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08If you get this one right, you'll have knocked Chris out.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13The American Vince McMahon is best known as a promoter of which type of event?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I know absolutely nothing about horse racing.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25He doesn't spring to mind as a boxing promoter.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30So I'm going to go down the other side this time and go with wrestling.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Is he right, team-mates? They like the answer.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Wrestling is the right answer, Alan. Well done to you.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Oh, dear, Chris. That was a really bad sporting moment for you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Hmm.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Any reflections on that? - No, but what sort of a brain
0:19:48 > 0:19:53puts miniature Mini cars out on the field of play to transport equipment around?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Why not just have people employed to do it?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Oh, it's not high-tech enough(!)
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Bleugh!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05That, I'm afraid, is the story.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08That's what they did, and because you didn't know, Alan is in the final.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Well done. If you come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16This is what we've been playing towards, the final round,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Those of you who lost your head-to-head won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25So that is Windy and Charles from CATAC
0:20:25 > 0:20:30but it's also Chris and Barry "the brain" from the Eggheads.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Please leave the studio.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Alan, Noelle and Daz, you're playing to win CATAC £4,000.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Daphne, Pat and Judith, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:20:42 > 0:20:43the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50The questions are all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:50 > 0:20:57So, CATAC, the question is, are your three brains able to defeat the Eggheads' three?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Alan, Noelle and Daz, do you want to go first or second?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Can we go first, please?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Good luck, Noelle. Good luck, team.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11In J.R.R. Tolkien's novel The Hobbit,
0:21:11 > 0:21:16the character Beorn is able to take the form of which creature?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- I think it's bear. - You think it's bear.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24He's getting chased through the... Or is he getting towed back?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I haven't got a clue. I've got no input on this one.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Horse, bear or eagle.- If anything, I'd go for bear.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- I'd go for bear. Bear? - Yeah. Bear.- Bear.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38We'll go for bear, please, Jeremy.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I heard what Daz was saying. You've got a memory of it?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Kind of.- Your memory is accurate. Bear it is.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Well done!
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Was it the film or the book?- Both.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- I've read it.- You've got something there.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56That's enough. What they call an "inkle" on this side!
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Here you go. The song Let It Snow begins with the line
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Oh, the weather outside is - what?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10# Oh the weather outside is ghastly
0:22:10 > 0:22:15# The weather outside is horrible
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- It doesn't work.- It's frightful. - # The weather outside is frightful #
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Something with "delightful".
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Yes, frightful. Yes.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27- Frightful?- I think it's frightful.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32We think that's frightful.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Frightful is the right answer.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Your question, challengers.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Kopf is the German word for which part of the body?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I think dummkopf is dumb-head.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Yeah. Agreed on that one. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Head. We think it's head.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Head is correct. Playing well.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Two out of two. Eggheads,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01the actor Brian Rix is particularly well-known for his roles in which type of theatrical work?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Farce.- Farce, yes.- Yes.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Whitehall farces.- Yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10That is farce.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13It was The Whitehall Farces.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Farce is the right answer.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Speeding along here, both of you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23The crucial third question. Let's see if you can take them apart.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Here's your question. Take your time.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30In Japan, a tatami is a type of what?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Ah. Tatami.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I don't think you'd say a floor covering.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Tatami. Tatami.- Tatami.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Is it not a short sword?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I would go for sword.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- You think?- That's a guess.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- My feeling is a sword.- A sword.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- What do you think?- Yeah, go on.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59We're not sure, but we're going to go for a sword.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Sword is your answer on this crucial third question. Eggheads, do you know?
0:24:02 > 0:24:06It's a floor covering, like a little mat.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07- It's a mat, yeah.- It's a mat.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10So floor covering is the right answer. That's what tatami is.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Which gives the Eggheads a chance to end the contest.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16If you get this one right. Three of you - a bit depleted today!
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Yes.- Two knocked out. - They're a good team.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22A very good team. Here's your question, Eggheads.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Hurd Deep, which is H-U-R-D and then D-E-E-P,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29is an underwater valley in which body of water?
0:24:35 > 0:24:36- No idea.- No, I don't know.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Hurd.- Why am I thinking Irish Sea?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I've just got a vague feeling.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47In the Irish Sea, they dump a lot of stuff.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50What, nuclear stuff?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I'm not sure.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56But if I was on my own, I would say Irish Sea.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58From Sellafield, or something?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Military stuff, perhaps? - I can't remember.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03So you think it's the Irish Sea?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Yes.- Well, give it a go.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09The North Sea is rather shallow. It doesn't have deeps, does it?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12And nor does The Channel, come to think of it.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Right. Irish Sea.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Irish Sea, on kind of a fragment of information, there.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I've just got a vague recollection
0:25:23 > 0:25:29that there was some hoo-ha about stuff that had been dumped in it.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Pat was very quiet. You're very quiet, Pat.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I had no strong views on this.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36You don't want any part of this one!
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Not responsible.- I'm probably wrong.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- It is wrong. It's completely wrong. It's the English Channel.- Oh!
0:25:41 > 0:25:45A very rare example of Daphne's guess work letting her down.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47So you're still in the game.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Fingers crossed here.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52We go to sudden death.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54It gets harder because I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Which Oscar-winning actor made his directorial debut
0:26:00 > 0:26:01with the film Quartet,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04starring Maggie Smith and Billy Connolly?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Maggie Smith and Billy Connolly?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- She's done quite a lot.- Do you think it's a British movie?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- Not necessarily.- No.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- No, not necessarily. - What about Tom Hanks?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- I don't... Has he directed? - Yeah, I'm sure he has.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Has he?- Yeah.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23I don't know.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Is it as good as anything? - Yeah.- Go on, then. Go on.- Right.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Plucking something out of the air!
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Tom Hanks.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Tom Hanks. Are they right, Eggheads?
0:26:34 > 0:26:39- No. Dustin Hoffman.- Dustin Hoffman is the right answer.- Oh, no.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41So you have a chance to take the contest, Eggheads.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Here is your question.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Which American actor born in 1966
0:26:46 > 0:26:51has appeared in the comedy films The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates
0:26:51 > 0:26:53and Happy Gilmore.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Happy Gilmore sounds like Adam Sandler.- Yes.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- I immediately thought Adam Sandler. - He'd be 50-something.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Uh, 47, now. He'd be in his late forties.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- '66.- He's be late forties.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- He was born in '66, did he say? - There's a good chance it's correct.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- He was born in '66. - I'll read it again.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Which American actor, born in 1966,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17has appeared in the comedy films The Wedding Singer,
0:27:17 > 0:27:2050 First Dates and Happy Gilmore?
0:27:20 > 0:27:25We're not sure, but we'll go for Adam Sandler.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Well done to Pat, particularly on this one.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35Adam Sandler is the correct answer. Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Commiserations, CATAC.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44That was a tough contest for you in many ways
0:27:44 > 0:27:46but you came out with three-three in the final round
0:27:46 > 0:27:49and you were close, very close there.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50- Yeah.- But not close enough!
0:27:50 > 0:27:52No, but you did well.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57They still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00It does mean you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:07 > 0:28:10have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13£5,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye!
