0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:39are the Seer Greeners. This team of friends all have an association
0:00:39 > 0:00:42with the village of Seer Green in Buckinghamshire.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Their children all attended the same school
0:00:45 > 0:00:49and they take part in the school's yearly fundraising quiz.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi. I'm Rob, I'm 44 and I'm a sports marketing consultant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi. I'm Terry, I'm 49 and I'm a software account manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi. I'm Simon, I'm 49, I buy and sell wine.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Philip, I'm 43 and I'm a film composer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hello. I'm Andy, I'm 46 and I'm a client manager.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- So, Rob and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Good to see you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Tell us about Seer Green. Is it a rather sweet little village?
0:01:16 > 0:01:17It's a wonderful little village.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's just outside Beaconsfield in South Bucks.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23A beautiful, picturesque village with everything a village should have.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26A couple of decent pubs, a lovely little school,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- a couple of churches, a great community.- OK.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And you quiz together at the school quiz
0:01:31 > 0:01:33and I know from these school quizzes,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- because we have one at my school, they can be tough.- Absolutely.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Nobody uses Google. Nobody uses their phone.- There's no coverage.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43There's no coverage!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Funnily enough, there's no coverage in this studio either so...
0:01:46 > 0:01:48they can't and you can't.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Good luck, by the way, playing the Eggheads here.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:53 > 0:01:56for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03So, Seer Greeners, the challengers actually won the last game,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07so £1,000 says you can't beat them again. Are you ready to start?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- We are.- The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Who would like this?
0:02:12 > 0:02:13On the basis of that,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- that was me, guys, wasn't it? - Team captain.- Team captain, I think.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18- That must be you.- Straight in.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21We had a bit of a confer before we came
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- and History was going to be my subject.- OK.- I'll take History.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Rob against which Egghead? Who would you like to take on?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Go straight in for Kevin? - Yeah, why not?- He's looking nervous.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- We'll go for Kevin, please, Jeremy.- OK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Well, we'll have a little look at your History record
0:02:38 > 0:02:41in a moment, Kevin. But it's Rob from the Seer Greeners
0:02:41 > 0:02:42versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Rob going for the big scalp here. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- So, good strategy to have a go at Kevin, Rob?- Absolutely.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Looking forward to it. Going to give it my best shot.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I think that's partly how the last team won the jackpot,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- by getting Kevin out. But that was on Music, Kevin, wasn't it?- Yep.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04This is History. How many rounds have you lost on History
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- since the beginning of Eggheads ten years ago?- Well, none, but...
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- How many questions have you got wrong, Kevin, on History?- Same.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- None? In ten years?- It'll happen.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19That may make it more likely, Rob, that it happens today.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Anyway, it's brave. But good luck.- Thank you.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Do you want to go first or second, Rob?- I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Here is your question.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34The last king to rule over France ended his reign in which century?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41The last king to rule over France...
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Um, I don't think it's the 20th century.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I think it's the 19th century, Jeremy.
0:03:47 > 0:03:5019th is the right answer.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Kevin, which monarch was the great-uncle of Lady Jane Grey?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Well, Charles II was a lot later
0:04:02 > 0:04:04and Richard III was earlier.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It's Henry VIII.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Henry VIII is the right answer.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12With some certainty, Rob, but of course, that was the first question.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- He may weaken.- Absolutely.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Which city was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Carthage doesn't come to mind.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26There were plenty of Romans in Cairo.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30But most eastern, I would say, would be Constantinople,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32so I'll go for Constantinople.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Constantinople is the right answer.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Good for Seer Green.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41OK. Kevin, which of Queen Victoria's children
0:04:41 > 0:04:43gave up his position in the House of Lords
0:04:43 > 0:04:47and on the Privy Council in order to become
0:04:47 > 0:04:50the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So, Queen Victoria's children.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I don't believe she had sons called either Edmund or Harold,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02but she did have an Alfred.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04So I think it's Alfred.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Alfred is correct.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Rob, your question. Which old English term refers to rulers
0:05:09 > 0:05:13who took control of several kingdoms within Anglo-Saxon England?
0:05:17 > 0:05:22I don't think it's scop. Scop sounds like the wrong word for the era.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26So I'm selecting between wergild and Bretwalda.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- I'll go with Bretwalda, please, Jeremy.- Is he right, Eggheads?- Yes.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Yes, you're right. - Wow.- Well done, Rob!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Three out of three. Well, will lightning strike here?
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Historically, Kevin, what item of clothing was a mandilion?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Ah. No, this is one of those things that I don't really tend to regard
0:05:52 > 0:05:54very much as History.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I'll rule out cap.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Mandilion... Jacket?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Is it something that could be a ceremonial...? I'll try shoe.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- I really don't know.- In ten years, you've never been knocked out
0:06:07 > 0:06:11on History. You've never got a single question wrong
0:06:11 > 0:06:13on History.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15You have now. It's jacket, Kevin.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Well done, Rob. A bit of Eggheads
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- history there.- Thank you very much.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24So, Rob, well done. You've knocked out Kevin.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26That does not happen very often.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Well, it's only happened once on History in ten years.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Do come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35As it stands, the Seer Greeners have not lost any brains
0:06:35 > 0:06:37and they have knocked out Kevin on History.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40What about that for a start? The next subject is Sport.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41So, who wants this?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Well...- We all want sport.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44- I don't.- I don't want it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46We're going to go with route one on this so...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49So, that's going to be Terry.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Terry on Sport. Against which Egghead, Terry?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Dave?- Go for it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Dave, please.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Terry from the Seer Greeners versus Dave from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Terry, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Jeremy, I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Here's your question, Terry.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and which other golfer
0:07:15 > 0:07:16were known as the Big Three
0:07:16 > 0:07:19when they dominated the sport in the 1960s?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I think I know this one.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Ben Hogan, I think, was a little bit before that time
0:07:29 > 0:07:33and Peter Alliss, whilst a very, very good commentator,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37probably didn't have the golfing career he would liked to have had.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41So, on the basis of that and all the majors that he won,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- I'll go further Jack Nicklaus, please.- Jack Nicklaus is correct.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49That's your question, isn't it? You love your golf, I know.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Yeah, very limited talent at it, but it's not for the want of trying.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55OK, Dave. Your question. The pavilion
0:07:55 > 0:07:58at Lord's Cricket Ground was completed in which year?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I would go 1890, but with no certainty at all.
0:08:05 > 0:08:081890 is correct.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Terry, in January, 2013,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara
0:08:13 > 0:08:16claimed a new world record by surfing a wave
0:08:16 > 0:08:21reportedly 100ft high off which country's coast?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Wow.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I really can only...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31think that...
0:08:31 > 0:08:37the country which would have the biggest tide of those three...
0:08:38 > 0:08:41..would be Portugal, so I'll have to go for Portugal, Jeremy.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Is he right, team-mates? Yeah, they say you're right.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Yeah, it's correct. Portugal is right. Well done.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Playing really well.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You've not got a question wrong so far, team.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Dave, Nottingham Forest and Arsenal footballer Tony Woodcock
0:08:55 > 0:08:59spent several years abroad playing in which competition?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I believe he played for Cologne in the Bundesliga.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09We're never going to catch you out on football, are we?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- You will do at one stage. - Not happening yet though.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Bundesliga is correct. So, two each.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Terry, Mark Webber...
0:09:17 > 0:09:20made his Formula One debut in 2002
0:09:20 > 0:09:22when driving for which team?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I don't really have any basis to rule any of those teams out so...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35..I'm going to have to go down the middle and say Williams, Jeremy.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yes, it's interesting. Formula One is a big quizzy area.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- I wonder if you know, Eggs? - I'd have gone Minardi.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43You would have gone Minardi.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Yeah, Minardi's the right answer.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So, chance for Dave to take the round.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51In 2013, which British sailor became the fastest
0:09:51 > 0:09:55British competitor to complete the Vendee Globe race?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03It's not Iain Percy. It's either Golding or Thomson.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Er... I'll go Alex Thomson.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09If you've got this right, you're in the final round.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Eggheads, do you know the answer? - Yeah, it's right.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Kevin confirms it is Alex Thomson. Dave, you got three out of three.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- You're in the final. Sorry, Terry.- No problem.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20A tough strategy to make work against these guys
0:10:20 > 0:10:21and you've been knocked out.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Please, both of you, rejoin your team-mates.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Sadly, Terry, you're gone. You've gone from the final.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31But so has Kevin. Let's play on. The next subject is Music.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Who would like this?- Me, me. No!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Right. OK. On the basis that we have a musician in our midst...- OK.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39..it's Philip.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Philip against which Egghead? Obviously not Kevin or Dave.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I'm a great admirer of Judith and I know Judith likes music,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50but doesn't necessarily spend a lot of time reading up on it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- You're right.- I'm hoping, if I could possibly challenge Judith,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- that would be great.- OK.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59One of the politest call-outs of an Egghead I've seen for a long time.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Philip from the Seer Greeners versus Judith from the Eggheads on Music.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Please go to the Question Room.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Well, this is definitely your subject, Philip,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- cos you are really a musician.- I am.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13But I'm one of those people who...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I spend my whole life doing music, but I didn't spend as long
0:11:16 > 0:11:19studying it, so I hope that's my way out here.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I've been a professor at the Royal Academy of Music for a while.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25But, again, I'm more of a cellist than a professor so...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30When you said that, Judith just looked totally shocked.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- She shouldn't. - Isn't that interesting, Judith?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37It's very interesting. I want to go home right now.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39But what is even more interesting,
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Philip, is what you did for the 2012 Olympics because you had to,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46basically, rescore every single national anthem, is that correct?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Yes, I did. It's quite strange.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50For copyright reasons, every single Olympics -
0:11:50 > 0:11:53and, in fact, also the Winter Olympics - the whole pack
0:11:53 > 0:11:57of world anthems need to be rearranged and then re-recorded.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59So, you can't play the Stars and Stripes just as is,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01it has to be filliped in some way?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Yes, I wanted to do it in the style of Jimi Hendrix,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- but even that's copyrighted these days.- Of course it is.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09So, would you like to go... Back to mundaner matters here,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11would you like to go first or second?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12I think I would like to go first, yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Philip, here we go. The singer Jerry Lee Lewis became famous
0:12:18 > 0:12:21for playing which instrument during his performances?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Well, he certainly wasn't a famous guitar player
0:12:27 > 0:12:30and he certainly had a very percussive style,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33but it tended to be, I believe, more on the piano.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36He'd sometimes play it with his feet as well.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I'm fairly confident that it's piano.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Piano is the right answer.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48Judith, who described herself as Mrs Carter for a world tour in 2013?
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Why on earth would they do that? To be incognito while travelling?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I should think it's probably Adele.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Barry knows this, I can tell. No?
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- No.- It's Beyonce because Jay-Z is Shawn Carter.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Judith, you're wrong. It's not Adele. It's Beyonce.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11So, in the lead, Philip.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15What was the second UK number-one single for Duran Duran?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Are you remembering it? Is that why you're in pain?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20No, I didn't listen to pop music when I was young.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25OK. I'm going to... I'm thinking about this.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Rio, I'm going to have to think of the videos.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Rio, that's going to be the one with the boat and one of them's
0:13:30 > 0:13:34famous for sinking Drum, I think it was, wasn't it, the boat?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36That's sort of in my mind quite strongly
0:13:36 > 0:13:38because that was a big hit for them.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I suspect I'm wrong. I suspect I'm wrong here,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43but I'm going to go for Rio.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I WAS listening when I was 15 and I would have said Rio, but it's wrong.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48The Reflex.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52I guess one of them wasn't a number one and we thought it was, probably.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Yep.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56So, The Reflex is the answer. So, Judith, back to you.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01The band Queensryche became a leading name
0:14:01 > 0:14:03in which genre of music during the 1980s?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08How do you spell that?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12It's Queen and then S-R-Y-C-H-E.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Queensryche, all one word.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I don't know. God.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Heavy metal.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Of course. Yes. Heavy metal is the answer.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24So, it's one-each after two questions, Philip.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Get this one right, put some pressure on Miss Keppel.- OK.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Which TV personality played the role of Albin in the West End production
0:14:32 > 0:14:37of the musical La Cage aux Folles in early 2009?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I'm struggling for an answer here cos I'm not very good on musicals.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Now, I remember the film of La Cage aux Folles
0:14:46 > 0:14:49That's not going to help me here because obviously what you've
0:14:49 > 0:14:53got there is three very famous Irish comedians.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Which reminds me of something. I think I remember Graham Norton
0:14:56 > 0:14:59talking about having some coaching
0:14:59 > 0:15:03and having to prepare for a role.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Listen, I'm going to say Graham Norton, but I'm happy if I'm wrong.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I'm going to say Graham Norton.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11My Radio 2 colleague Graham Norton will be pleased with your answer
0:15:11 > 0:15:14cos it's right. Well done. Two out of three.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17OK, Judith. If you get this one wrong, you'll be knocked out.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Which composer was appointed music director for Hamburg in 1721
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and stayed there until his death in 1767?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Well, I think Handel was in England, so I don't think it was him.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40I have a feeling that Telemann was earlier than that.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44So I'm going to go JC Bach.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Bach is your answer. Do you know, Philip, this one?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Mine would honestly be a guess as well. I'd have said Telemann
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- but I'm probably completely wrong. - Telemann is the right answer.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I thought he was earlier.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Judith, one point out of three.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57You've been knocked out by Philip.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Well, I'm not surprised.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Well done to you. You're in the final round and Judith is not.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Please, both of you, rejoin your teams and we'll play on.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11We're heading for our last round before the final now.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13As it stands, the Seer Greeners have lost one brain,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16the Eggheads have lost two brains. You're playing well.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18The next subject is Science.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Who would like this? - OK.- I'm not sure
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- anyone would like it! - No-one wants it!
0:16:23 > 0:16:24I think I'm going to take it, Jeremy.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29- OK. Andy against which Egghead? - We're going to get Barry working.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31OK. Good choice, I'm sure.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Andy on Science from the Seer Greeners
0:16:33 > 0:16:35versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Please go to the Question Room. We'll see who wins.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Good luck, Andy. - Thank you very much.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I would love to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Here we go with your first question. What term is usually given
0:16:50 > 0:16:54to the unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour?
0:16:57 > 0:17:02OK. So, my brain says nautical equals water
0:17:02 > 0:17:06so I'm drawn towards a particular answer.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I'm going to go for knot.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14Knot is the right answer. Well done. OK. Over to the Brain.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17What type of graph shows the values of variables
0:17:17 > 0:17:20by the height of rectangles of equal width?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Well, it's not a scatter diagram.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And believe it or not, would you know the person who was reputedly
0:17:32 > 0:17:36the person who invented pie charts? That was Florence Nightingale.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Really?- Yes, she was a famous statistician.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44That's sadly not the answer to this question. The answer is bar chart.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Barry, you're quite right. Bar chart it is.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49OK. Over to you, Andy.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Which part of a horse contains a cannon bone?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Wow.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Horses are not...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01a strong part of my knowledge.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I think the more obvious answer is leg but...
0:18:08 > 0:18:09..do I go for leg or neck?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Cannon bone...
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Er...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Neck.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- It is leg, Andy. Sorry.- OK.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Barry.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Piloerection refers to which part of the body becoming raised?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Piloerection occurs when you receive a very severe fright
0:18:36 > 0:18:39and it's your hair standing on end.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42The hair stands on end, that is correct. Piloerection
0:18:42 > 0:18:44is what it is. OK. Andy, your question.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47In the double helix structure of DNA,
0:18:47 > 0:18:53which nucleotide always bonds as a pair with adenine?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- And you need to get this one right to stay in.- I do indeed.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05And if you'd asked me this the best part of 30 years ago,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I would have jumped straight to the right answer
0:19:07 > 0:19:11so I do know, obviously, those are the four constituent elements.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Not elements, but you know what I mean.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17I think it's guanine.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- Let's see if Barry knows. Is it right, Barry?- It's thymine.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Thymine is the right answer, Andy, sorry.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Brain of Britain's knocked you out...- Indeed.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31..and he does love his science. Pat's good on science too.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34But there's something about Barry and science, he actually loves it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Never mind.- So, there we go. You're not in the final and Barry is.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Come back to us and we will play that final round.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:19:46 > 0:19:47is General Knowledge.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:49 > 0:19:51won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54So, Terry and Andy from the Seer Greeners
0:19:54 > 0:19:56and also Judith and Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03So, Rob, Simon and Philip, you are playing to win
0:20:03 > 0:20:05the Seer Greeners £1,000.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Barry, Pat and Dave, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:20:16 > 0:20:18and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20So, Seer Greeners the question is,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24are your three brains able to overcome the Eggheads three?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26And would you like to go first or second?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33OK. Here we go. Final round. Good luck.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Podgy Pig, Ming the dragon
0:20:34 > 0:20:39and a woodland creature named Raggety are friends
0:20:39 > 0:20:41of the title character of which comic strip
0:20:41 > 0:20:44dating back to the 1920s?
0:20:47 > 0:20:53It's Rupert Bear. I'm sure of it. It's definitely not Fred Bassett.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- It's not Andy Capp. - Fred Bassett came later.- Yeah, yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- I would definitely go for Rupert Bear.- Rupert Bear.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03We're going to go with Rupert the Bear.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Rupert Bear is the right answer. Well done. One to you.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08First question for the Eggheads.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13The popular reading books for young children launched in 1949 were based
0:21:13 > 0:21:16on the characters Janet and who?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- John.- Janet and John, aren't they?- Yep?- Yep.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25We think that's John.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28John is the right answer.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29They may get harder.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Your second question.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Seer Greeners, in which borough of New York City
0:21:34 > 0:21:37is the Museum of Modern Art located?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- I'm drawn to...- Let's think about it. In Manhattan, you've got
0:21:44 > 0:21:46the Guggenheim, haven't you?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- You've definitely got the Guggenheim. - There's the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Can we rule out Queens?- Yeah.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'm pretty sure it's not Queens.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I'm drawn to Brooklyn because of its association with art generally.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Yeah.- But Manhattan is the centre.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Would you have a big museum in New York outside of Manhattan?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Like you say, Brooklyn is sort of the... It's more left-field.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- A bit more bohemian, isn't it? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- It's probably going to be Manhattan...- It probably will be.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18..where you get the vast majority of the tourists and the visitors.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Shall we go with Manhattan?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I don't want to push you to it? - I'm happy to go with Manhattan.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Manhattan?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Personally, I don't know, but my colleagues here...
0:22:28 > 0:22:30We think it's Manhattan.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- That's see about these Eggs. Barry? Pat?- Manhattan.- Manhattan.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Manhattan is the right answer. Well done.- Thank goodness.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37We got there, boys.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Slowly but surely.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Eggheads, your question. What is the name of the teacher
0:22:41 > 0:22:45played by Greg Davis in the TV sitcom The Inbetweeners?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Have you seen it?- Never.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I've seen a small fraction of one episode and he didn't appear.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56All I would say...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Mr Robert sounds more...
0:22:58 > 0:23:01contrived than Gilbert and Herbert as a surname.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06So, Gilbert or Herbert. If you were going to take the mickey
0:23:06 > 0:23:09out of somebody who's a teacher, it would be Herbert.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11A right Herbert, that sort of thing.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- I like the idea of taking the mickey out of somebody.- That's a guess.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I've no idea.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18We're completely at sea, Jeremy,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21and we're going to go for Mr Herbert with great confidence.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Do you watch it, guys?- Yeah, we do. - Ah, what's the answer?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- My instinct's Mr Gilbert. - Mr Gilbert, yeah.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Mr Gilbert is the answer, Eggheads.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Your chance to win on this question. Beat the Eggheads.
0:23:34 > 0:23:41Almazbek Atambayev was elected president of which country in 2011?
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Personally, I'm drawn between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Any recollection of any elections in either of those two countries?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56I agree we should rule out Mongolia.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Um... Kyrgyzstan...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01"Bek."
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I hadn't heard of that until...
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Could we hear the name again, please, Jeremy?- Yeah.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Almazbek Atambayev was elected president of which country in 2011?
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Ah. I tell you what, "E-V", so it's more Russian, isn't it?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18So, are we veering more towards...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20MUTTERING
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Shall we go Uzbekistan? - Yeah. Uzbekistan.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31It's a slightly educated guess, but we are going with Uzbekistan.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Are they right?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Don't know.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Kyrgyzstan.- Never mind.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44I could see how the "bek" was the shred of a clue. Drew you in there.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Kyrgyzstan. Tough question that. OK. Eggheads, if you get this one wrong,
0:24:48 > 0:24:53the contest is over. Chinese Girl, or Green Lady,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57which became one of the world's most reproduced prints,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00is a 1952 work by which artist?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- It's Tretchikoff.- OK. Yep, that's fine.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13That's Vladimir Tretchikoff.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16We had it on the wall of my lounge for about 20 years.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19OK. All right. Well, yes, you're right. Vladimir Tretchikoff
0:25:19 > 0:25:22is the right answer. I won't tease you, if you really are sure.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Tretchikoff is right. So, two points.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26After three questions for you both, we go to Sudden Death,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Seer Greeners, which means it becomes a bit harder.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- I don't give you alternative answers.- Right.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Which London restaurant opened in 1967 is named after
0:25:36 > 0:25:38a character from Les Miserables?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Right. You know Les Miserables.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Quaglino's?
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Is Quaglino in Les Miserables?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Is it in the book or the musical, that's the question?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53You need a French restaurant as well. Gavroche!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Must be La Gavroche cos Gavroche, I think,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- is the arresting officer. Try it. - Absolutely.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04My learned friend here on the left suggested it might be La Gavroche.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Le Gavroche is correct.- Fantastic. Well done, Phil.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Well done. Well played. Gavroche.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10OK. So...
0:26:10 > 0:26:13you're on the back foot again, Eggheads.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17In Greek mythology, who rescued Andromeda
0:26:17 > 0:26:22after she'd been chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster?
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- Perseus.- Perseus, yeah. It is Perseus, isn't it?- That was Perseus.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Perseus is the right answer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Sorry!
0:26:30 > 0:26:34They are hard to throw off.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Hadrian's Villa or the Villa Adriana
0:26:37 > 0:26:42is in which town roughly 30km north-east of Rome?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45OK. We need all the help we can get. So, let's think about it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Think of wines, football teams.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49We've got Lazio... You've got...
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- How far out of Rome is that? - That's close.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Too near?- Not far enough.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Hadrian's Villa or Villa Adriana...
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It's obviously...
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- He's an emperor so... - I don't know.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I'm drawn to...
0:27:08 > 0:27:11..Pisa but that's probably too far north.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14No, Pisa's not that close to Rome. Can't be.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Castel Gandolfo. Is Gandolfo a town?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Try it.- Try Gandolfo.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I don't know if it's a town. Sorry.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Wild stab in the dark. Gandolfo.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Eggheads, do you know? - Tivoli.- Tivoli.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30All right. So, Eggheads,
0:27:30 > 0:27:31your chance to take the contest.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Here's your question. In which year did the so-called
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Zinoviev Letter create a scandal when it was published
0:27:37 > 0:27:41by the Daily Mail four days before a British general election?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- 1924.- I think '24.- 1924. The date came into both of our heads.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Before Ramsay MacDonald. Tried to discredit him, didn't he?
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- Well, it's come into my mind. - '24 came straight into my head.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55We'll go with that. We're going with 1924.
0:27:55 > 0:27:571924 is the...
0:27:57 > 0:27:59right answer. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01You have won.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Well, I must say, you played a brilliant game.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- It was just so entertaining to watch the way you did it.- It was close.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Yes, it was close. No question.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14You got Kevin out, the three of them...
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- You wobbled a bit, didn't you, Eggs? - Just a little.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Commiserations, Seer Greeners. The Eggheads have done what comes,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22I'll say, naturally, to them.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Doesn't feel that way at the moment.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27They do reign supreme over quizland once again.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with your £1,000,
0:28:30 > 0:28:33so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I wonder when you will be beaten?
