0:00:05 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:18 > 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 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37And taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:37 > 0:00:39are the Dartford Wobblers from Kent.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41This team of friends have quizzed
0:00:41 > 0:00:42together for more than 20 years
0:00:42 > 0:00:47and currently test their brain cells at The Malt Shovel pub in Dartford.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm Kevin. I'm 52. And I'm a gas engineer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Howard. I'm 55, I'm a bricklayer and builder.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm John. I'm 52 and I'm a sole trader.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Hi. I'm Chris.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I'm 55 and I'm a technician.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hi. I'm John. I'm 55 and I'm a retired civil servant.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So, Kevin and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Tell us about The Malt Shovel. What kind of place is it?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16The Malt Shovel is a small pub in Dartford on East Hill.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And you're there a lot? And we're there a lot. Every week.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Every Monday. So you've quizzed together for some years now.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Oh, yeah. Quite a few years. Yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And are you feeling like this is the moment to take them apart?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Er, ooh, I don't know about that.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I was wondering if the Dartford Wobble name
0:01:35 > 0:01:38was in anticipation of what will happen in this match.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Well, if we win, we'll get very wobbly!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's based on a bird, though, isn't it?
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Yes, the Dartford Warbler is a small bird native to
0:01:48 > 0:01:49the heathlands of Dartford.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55Um, and we've corrupted the name to sort of describe the state of us
0:01:55 > 0:01:58after a Monday evening's quizzing in The Malt Shovel.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Good luck here. I hope there's no wobbling.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Every day, there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So, Dartford Wobblers, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15which means that ?2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Would you like to go ahead?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19The first head-to-head battle
0:02:19 > 0:02:22is on the subject of Geography. Who would like this?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Right. Is it going to be me?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Yeah? You've decided, OK.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29That's down to me. Howard. All right.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31On Geography against any one of them.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Mm...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36What do you reckon?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Tremendous Knowledge Dave?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Give Dave a go. Shall we? THEY AGREE
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Can I pick Tremendous Knowledge Dave, please?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45You can, indeed. Howard from the Dartford Wobblers
0:02:45 > 0:02:48against Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads. To ensure
0:02:48 > 0:02:53there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Geography for you, Howard. Yes, it is.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Would you like to go first or second? I think I'll take the first set, please, Jeremy.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Here we go with your question.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Port Said, at the northern end of the Suez Canal,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08is a city in which country?
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Right, let me think. I know it's definitely not Syria.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Um...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I don't think it's Turkey, either.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I believe that is in Egypt.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27It is in Egypt. You're right, Howard.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Your question, Dave,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31which of these is the nickname for the city of Dallas?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38City of Brotherly Love's Philadelphia. Windy City is Chicago.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I think it is used for some other US cities,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42but Dallas is the Big D.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47The Big D is Dallas. You're right.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Howard, back to you. The Woodhead Pass
0:03:49 > 0:03:53and the Snake Pass cross which range of hills?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Let me have a look at this.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00It's not the South Downs
0:04:00 > 0:04:03because that's quite close to where we come from.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Quantocks, I'm not sure exactly where they are,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10but I believe that would be the Pennines.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13You're playing with confidence, Howard, you got it right. Well done.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16OK, Dave, your question -
0:04:16 > 0:04:20what name is given to the narrow rocky gorge that is a tourist
0:04:20 > 0:04:24attraction in the Fraser River Canyon in British Columbia?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Never heard of it. Erm...
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Just because it sounds like a gorge, I'll go Hells Gate.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37But I've never heard of it.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Yeah, Hells Gate is right. Oh, you nearly had him there, Howard.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Here's your third question.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Hualamphong Station is the main railway station in which city?
0:04:52 > 0:04:58I'll spell it. It's all one word. H-U-A-L-A-M-P-H-O-N-G.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Right, um... It sounds like it could be any of these.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I've never heard of it. So...
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I think... Um, I don't think it's Seoul. I don't know why,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11no reason behind it. Um...
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I think I'll go for Bangkok. Is he right, Dave?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I would have gone Bangkok myself, yeah. Bangkok is correct.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Three out of three. Good play.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24No wobbles there. OK. Your question, Dave, to stay in.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29The Ubari Lakes form part of a Saharan oasis in which country?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Hm...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I don't think it's Chad. Is it Sudan or is it Libya?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40I'll go Libya.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Do you think he's right? We're thinking Libya.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48The Challengers are thinking you're right and you are right, Dave.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well done. No, it was a 50-50.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53So, OK, you did everything you had to do, Howard,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55but you didn't quite knock him out. We go to Sudden Death.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59It gets a little bit harder because I don't give alternative answers.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02The Welsh town of Abergwaun has what English name
0:06:02 > 0:06:07that comes from a Scandinavian term meaning "fish-catching enclosure"?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Erm... Oof. It's difficult. Can't say I've ever heard of it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Fish-catching enclosure.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Could it be Fishguard?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Well done. You got it right. Fishguard is correct.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So Dave, pressure on you. You've got to get this right to stay in.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Uhuru Peak is part of which African mountain?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Er, Mount Kilimanjaro.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Mount Kilimanjaro is the right answer.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Playing well on Sudden Death, you two.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Howard, American Samoa is located in which ocean?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Right. American Samoa. Um, oof.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It could be one of two, I should imagine.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00But, um, I think it's in the Pacific Ocean.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Pacific is the right answer.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06We know we've got a quiz team on here, haven't we, Eggheads?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08We can tell. Very, very good.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11OK, under pressure again, Dave, on Sudden Death.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Get this one wrong and you're out.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Wilpattu National Park, which is renowned
0:07:16 > 0:07:19for its large leopard population,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22is located in which Asian country?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Wilpattu is W-I-L-P-A-T-T-U.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I think it could be the end of the road, this.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34Can you spell it again for me, please? W-I-L-P-A-T-T-U.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38They've got a large leopard population.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Wilpattu.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Um, India.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Well, you're close, but no cigar. Sri Lanka.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Sri Lanka's the answer and you've got it wrong. That means, on Sudden Death,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Dave is out and Howard is in the final round.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Well done, first blood to the Wobblers. Please come back.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03So, as it stands, the Dartford Wobblers have not lost any brains
0:08:03 > 0:08:07from the final round whilst the Eggheads have lost one.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11The next subject is Arts Books. Which of you would like this?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14THEY CONFER
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Shall I do it? Go on, you have a go. Sacrificial lamb?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yeah, sacrificial lamb. Who should I go for?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22John against anyone but Dave.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Who do you think?
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Pat? Who? Pat? Pat. OK. Take on... Pat, Pat, Pat, Pat.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31There we are. It's you. Me? Definitely you.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Yeah, Pat from the Eggheads against John from the Dartford Wobblers,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43John, you're a retired civil servant. That's right, yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44And you stood for Parliament?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I did, yes, in 2010 for the Fancy Dress Party.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48JEREMY LAUGHS
0:08:48 > 0:08:51And I'm thinking... I'm just trying to remember...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I don't think you won the seat but refresh my memory.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Which seat did you stand in? I stood in the Dartford constituency.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00You're quite right, I didn't win the seat.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05I didn't even retain my deposit. I got the princely sum of 207 votes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08But you had some fun in the election campaign, I bet? I did.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Yeah, very good fun, yeah. Good luck in this round.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Out of fancy dress for Arts Books,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Er, I'll go first, please.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Here we go. John, which creature,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26drawn by Pablo Picasso, was chosen as the emblem
0:09:26 > 0:09:31for the first International Peace Conference in Paris in 1949?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Well, I don't know the answer to this,
0:09:38 > 0:09:44but I wouldn't associate dog - or donkey, come to that - with peace.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48I would certainly associate a dove with peace.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52So, on that basis alone, I'm going to go for dove.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Dove it is. Well done.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Pat, your question.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Which artwork has the alternative name
0:09:59 > 0:10:03of La Gioconda in the gallery in which it hangs?
0:10:08 > 0:10:13I think La Gioconda was the title of the woman
0:10:13 > 0:10:15who sat for the Mona Lisa.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And which gallery is that, by the way? It hangs in the Louvre.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I don't think it ever goes anywhere. It's in the Louvre in Paris.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23You're right. It is the Mona Lisa. Well done.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25OK, John, your question.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Dog Days and Cabin Fever are books in which series for young people?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Hm. Oh, dear.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I don't know this at all. Dog Days.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44"Shapeshifter" sounds like it's something to do with wolves
0:10:44 > 0:10:46and what have you.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Um... Hm.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54I really... I can't even eradicate any of them.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'm just going to have to guess.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I think I'm going to go for The Hunger Games.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I have no reason for that but that's the one I'm plumping for.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Diary Of A Wimpy Kid is the answer.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07OK. Over to you, Pat, to take the lead.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Which organisation for which George Orwell
0:11:09 > 0:11:15worked from 1941 to 1943 is thought to have provided the inspiration
0:11:15 > 0:11:20for the Ministry of Truth and Room 101 in his novel 1984?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28My first thought was the BBC but I'm not certain.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34He was pretty left-wing, I think.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I'm not sure the Foreign Office
0:11:36 > 0:11:38would have been a very congenial place for George Orwell.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I think it was the BBC.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44You're absolutely right, it was the BBC.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I don't know whether there was a particular room he had in mind.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Maybe just round the back of the Eggheads studio here. Room 101.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You got it right, Pat, well done. So he's in the lead.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55You need to get this one right, John, OK?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Eva, a Russian woman working for British intelligence during
0:11:59 > 0:12:04World War II, is a central character in which novel by William Boyd?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Well, once again, I don't know the book.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19There's nothing there that's going to give me any indication
0:12:19 > 0:12:22so, once again, I'm afraid, it's going to have to be a guess.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I went down the right last time and it was wrong.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Oh, dear. Um, Any Human Heart.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It's Restless.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Restless is the answer. Sorry, you've been knocked out by Pat.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Never easy to beat him, though, particularly on Arts Books.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42You won't be in the final, he will.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Please, if you can, rejoin your teams.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50So, as it stands, the Dartford Wobblers have lost one brain
0:12:50 > 0:12:52from the final round, the Eggheads have also lost one.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54The next subject is Music.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Right, Music, so, are we...? I think we've agreed it's you.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03We've agreed it's you, Chris, yeah? Yeah, I'll go. Chris on Music, OK.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Which Egghead would you like, Chris? Judith, please. Oh, straight there.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08I don't want to play this one!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You don't want to? No, I want to do Arts Books.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14She's jolly cross.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19OK, Chris from the Dartford Wobblers versus a very,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21very cross Judith from the Eggheads. Yes.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Judith, you wanted Arts Books? Yes, I like Arts Books.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32And you've got Music instead. Yes.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36But there is a little silver lining here, isn't there? What's that?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39It's not Sport. Oh, well, I don't know.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44What, Music and Sport are now...? I'm rather better at Sport than I was. Oh, right.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47The gleam in your eye is for your next sporting round, is it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50SHE CHUCKLES OK, we'll hold you to that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Anyway, we're on Music here, and Chris, you can
0:13:52 > 0:13:54choose the first or second set of questions.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Here we go with your first question.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03"It's late September
0:14:03 > 0:14:08"and I really should be back at school" is a line from which song?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Well, being a bit of a Rod Stewart fan, I'd say it was Maggie May.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19It's a great line, as well, isn't it? Maggie May, well done.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26OK. Judith, which song from the musical
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
0:14:29 > 0:14:34became a UK number-one single for Jason Donovan in 1991?
0:14:40 > 0:14:45Um... I love that title Those Canaan Days.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50Was that really a song?, I think it's Any Dream Will Do.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Any Dream Will Do is the right answer.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Back to you, Chris. In a famous Morecambe and Wise sketch,
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Eric and Ernie make breakfast to which piece of popular music?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Um, I don't think it's The Entertainer.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I'm pretty sure it's not The Pretender.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I think it's The Stripper.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15The Stripper is the right answer.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20OK, Judith, your question now to catch up.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Which early style of blues music began in the Mississippi region
0:15:24 > 0:15:27in the early 20th century?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35I think the Mississippi is the one with the delta but it's not in
0:15:35 > 0:15:38the Rocky Mountains or in New England
0:15:38 > 0:15:41so, logically, it should be Delta Blues.
0:15:41 > 0:15:47Delta Blues is quite right. OK, over to you, Chris. Everyone's got two.
0:15:47 > 0:15:54Who was appointed Composer-in-Residence at Classic FM in 2008?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Classical's not really my thing.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Um...
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I know Howard Goodall's been in the news lately.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I think I'd go far Howard Goodall.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Nice one. You're right. It is Howard Goodall.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Well done, OK, so a bit of pressure on Judith,
0:16:17 > 0:16:22who wasn't a happy bunny playing this round. We could see that.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27The actress Minna Planer was the first wife of which composer?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Richard Wagner was married to someone else.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Cosima...
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Hector Berlioz.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45I think it's Franz Lehar because he did sort of light operas
0:16:45 > 0:16:48and things, it would suit marrying an actress for that.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Yeah, good bit of psychology there.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Because he did light music, he would have married an actress.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Anyone help us with Richard Wagner's wives?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59You were saying Cosimo, Cosiman?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02His second wife was Cosima von Bulow.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05His first wife was Minna Planer.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06OK, Minna Planer was his first wife.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Cosima von Bulow was his second.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Von Bulow, that's right. I knew she was called Cosima.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16How about that, Chris, you've knocked her out? On Music.
0:17:16 > 0:17:203-2 on the night, as they say, and Judith won't be in the final round.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Please, both of you, rejoin your team-mates.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Kevin, it's going well. Very well. I think it's going to plan.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Well, we ripped several plans up,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34so we're not sure which plan it's going to, but it's going to one of them.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And you've managed to annoy Judith, which is good.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Tremendous Knowledge has been knocked out.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Pat's still in. That's annoying.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Let's see what you can do now.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45It's Sport. Which of you wants Sport?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It's me, isn't it? That's what we said. That's the one.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Is that you, John?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52No, it's Kevin. That's me.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55OK. OK, right, Kevin, tell us, Kevin or Daphne?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Kevin on Kevin maybe?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Probably Daphne, I would have thought.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Daphne's good at Sport. I know. So is Kevin.
0:18:03 > 0:18:09I would be honoured to play Daphne. Go on, then. Daphne, it's you.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Honoured to play you, Daphne.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14SHE CHUCKLES I wish you weren't!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17So Kevin from the Dartford Wobblers versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Please take your positions now.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Kevin, would you like to go first or second? First, please, Jeremy.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Here's your question - which of these sporting trophies
0:18:30 > 0:18:33has an elephant on top and cobras for handles?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Thankfully, the answer I had in my head's come up.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I'm not saying it's the right one
0:18:41 > 0:18:44but I was thinking of one before the three options came up.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I know it's not the FA Cup
0:18:46 > 0:18:49and I don't think it's the Ascot Gold Cup.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52The answer I had in my head was the Calcutta Cup.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Calcutta Cup is correct. Well done.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Daphne, your question.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01The IJF is a charity for people
0:19:01 > 0:19:05who've been injured taking part in which sport?
0:19:09 > 0:19:14That's the Injured Jockeys Fund, so it's horse racing.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Yes, you're right. It is the Injured Jockeys Fund.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Horse racing is right.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Kevin, in late 2012, which Formula 1 team signed Nico Hulkenberg
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and Esteban Gutierrez for the 2013 season?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Oh, dear. It's not really my field.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39And I must confess, I don't know the answer to this one.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I'm going to rule out Force India, I don't know why.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46And I think it's between Mercedes and Sauber.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I've got a feeling Mercedes have just taken two drivers on
0:19:49 > 0:19:51that aren't the names you've given me.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I'm going for Sauber, Jeremy.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57You've guessed it, or slightly known it, very well.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Sauber is right, Kevin, nice one.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03People come unstuck on Formula 1, don't they, Daphne? Mm-hm.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Here's your question, Daphne.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08At the 2012 Olympics, when Louis Smith won a silver medal
0:20:08 > 0:20:11on the pommel horse, who won the bronze?
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Oh, dear. Everybody focused on Louis.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I can't remember.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Sorry, team. Kristian Thomas.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33The answer is Max Whitlock.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37OK, so a little bit of an advantage there.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39You're in the lead, Kevin, which means that,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41if you take this one, you are in the final as well.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44And it puts your team in quite a strong position
0:20:44 > 0:20:45for that final round. Here we go.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Which English football club was founded as Small Heath Alliance?
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Well, Jeremy, when the question came up, I had another team in my head
0:20:59 > 0:21:01and, unlike the first round,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04the team I had in my head hasn't come up this time.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07So I'm going to have to apply some sort of geographical logic.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10And I have a feeling, in the back of my head,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13that Small Heath is an area of Birmingham.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16So I'm going to go for Birmingham City, Jeremy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I think there is a Parliamentary constituency
0:21:18 > 0:21:20called Birmingham Small Heath.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23So you're absolutely right, Kevin. Birmingham City is right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26You played very well there. You got three out of three.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Daphne, they're a good team, aren't they?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31They're real quizzers and you've been knocked out.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Come back and rejoin your teams and we will play the final.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42is General Knowledge.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44But I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:44 > 0:21:46won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50So John from the Dartford Wobblers and Judith, Dave
0:21:50 > 0:21:54and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00So you've done well to only lose one on the way here.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Kevin, Howard, John and Chris, you're now playing
0:22:03 > 0:22:06to win the Dartford Wobblers ?2,000.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Pat and Kevin, looking a little bit lonely there,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13which is the Eggheads' reputation,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15which has been knocked around a bit recently.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:22:21 > 0:22:22and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26So, Dartford Wobblers, the question is - are you able, with your four
0:22:26 > 0:22:28brains, to defeat the Eggheads' two?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38OK, John and team, here we go.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42The politician Boris Johnson attended which public school?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Have you got an inkling?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Was it Eton? It wasn't Winchester.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I think Eton. Is he part of that?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Is he part of that gang?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I think so. You reckon?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Well, it could be Eton or Harrow.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00My leaning is Eton.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Agreed?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06THEY AGREE Er, we'll go for Eton, please.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Eton is the right answer.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Over to you, Eggs.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Which day of the calendar year is traditionally
0:23:13 > 0:23:16the last full day of the Venice Carnival?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28It's a carnival. Carnival takes place in... In Lent. Yeah.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30The February, March period.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Shrove Tuesday is the using up of the eggs and milk
0:23:33 > 0:23:36before the fast period starts.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Yeah, it should be Shrove Tuesday, like most of the European carnivals.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43All Souls' Day is 2nd November, so... It's my birthday.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Like most of the big carnivals, Jeremy,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49we think this is Shrove Tuesday.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Shrove Tuesday is quite right.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55And you're both World Quiz Champions, aren't you?
0:23:55 > 0:24:01We have both won it, yes. You're taking on two World Quiz Champions.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Double the firepower. Your second question, team.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Mealworms are the larvae of which type of insect?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Mealworms. Right, I do know this.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18I do know this. It's not a wasp,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20it's not a fly.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23So that leaves the beetle.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24How do you know it, then, Howard?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I used to keep tarantulas
0:24:26 > 0:24:28and I used to feed them mealworms.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30HE CHUCKLES
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Well, that's a good reason to know the answer. Beetle is quite right.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36OK. A good explanation.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38You guys keep tarantulas or not?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Not knowingly. You never know when they'll pop up.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Yeah. Here's your question.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48In classical mythology, Zephyrus was the god of which of the winds?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Um...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54West. East is Eurus.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58South, I think, is Notus.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I'm pretty sure Zephyrus was west. OK.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Yeah.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure the east wind is Eurus.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I've got an idea the south wind is Notus
0:25:08 > 0:25:10and Zephyrus is the west wind.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13It is the west wind. Well done.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17They know stuff, these quiz champions.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18It's your question.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Which director was shot with an air rifle
0:25:22 > 0:25:26during a 2006 BBC interview
0:25:26 > 0:25:27but later continued with the interview,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30saying, "It's not a significant bullet"?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Right. Over to you two.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41I don't know.
0:25:41 > 0:25:452006. BBC documentary.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48They did a documentary on Polanski.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I was thinking Polanski.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Do you think? OK? Yes?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Don't know it. Er...
0:25:54 > 0:25:57we're not 100% on this, Jeremy,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59but we'll go for Roman Polanski.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Roman Polanski is your answer.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Let me just try with the Eggheads, are they right on this?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03It's Herzog.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06I've seen the footage of it, it's bizarre.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10He was being interviewed in a lay-by in the hills near Los Angeles
0:26:10 > 0:26:13and, halfway through the interview, Herzog started
0:26:13 > 0:26:16and pulled up his shirt and there was a little wound.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Strange things happen to Werner Herzog,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22it's par for the course, really. Do you know who did the interview?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Mark Kermode. Yes, it was Mark Kermode. It was Werner Herzog.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Sorry, guys, you got that wrong.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I'm amazed I've never seen the footage of that.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33It's quite an obscure incident.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36So, if you get this right, Eggheads, you've won the contest.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Who was shortlisted for three consecutive
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Edinburgh comedy awards for her shows Be Honourable,
0:26:42 > 0:26:46The Future Is Another Place and Romance And Adventure?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54With absolutely nothing to back it,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57the name that I'd be most likely to guess is Josie Long.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00No, I can see that. But I've no evidence for it.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I don't really know enough about this as a subject
0:27:04 > 0:27:07but that doesn't sound like Sarah Millican to me. No.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10The titles don't sound like her.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Does Sue Perkins go in much for that?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14She's done a little bit.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I don't think she's such a consistent campaigner
0:27:16 > 0:27:18that she'd have been nominated three years in a row.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21This is the Edinburgh comedy award? Yes, it is.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I know Josie Long has been prominent at that, hasn't she? She has.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27So... It is speculation.
0:27:27 > 0:27:33I would guess wildly at Josie Long. OK.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36If anything instinctive was there, it's her.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39We don't know it, Jeremy. Um...
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Don't think it really sounds like
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Sarah Millican.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Not too sure about Sue Perkins
0:27:44 > 0:27:46but I know Josie Long has been
0:27:46 > 0:27:48prominent at Edinburgh so we'll go for Josie Long.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51You ruled out Sarah Millican, which was the right thing to do,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54you were also right to rule out Sue Perkins.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55The answer is Josie Long.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57So we say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:57 > 0:27:58you have won.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07I know you're going to go and Google the shooting with Werner Herzog.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10You've done really well, you played really well,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12you played like a real quiz team,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14so commiserations, you Dartford Wobblers.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15You never wobbled, actually.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have just done what comes naturally here,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20they got back into their stride a little bit
0:28:20 > 0:28:24and they're beginning to reign supreme over quizland again.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27It does mean you won't be going home with the ?2,000,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see
0:28:33 > 0:28:36if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38?3,000 says they don't.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Till then, goodbye.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11I want to make up... ..my own mind.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Join me, Tina Daheley, for a live debate on your future.
