0:00:04 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably 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 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today

0:00:36 > 0:00:38are We Are What We Know.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42Now, this friends and family team from the north-east of England

0:00:42 > 0:00:46take the inspiration for their team name from their strongly held

0:00:46 > 0:00:50quizzing belief that you either know the answer or you don't.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51Let's meet them.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Laura, and 24 and I'm a sales executive.

0:00:55 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Harry, I'm 21,

0:00:56 > 0:00:59and I'm a marketing and business development executive.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 29 and I'm a sales executive.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Neil, I'm 32 and I'm a national account executive.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Tim, I'm 32 and I'm a general manager.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- So, Laura and team, welcome, good to see you.- Hello.- Thank you.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Roughly...or exactly, whereabouts are you from? Which town?

0:01:15 > 0:01:19Most of us are from Darlington, except Harry, he's from Thirsk.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23- And you know...or We Know What We Know...- Yes.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25..is about if you don't know, you can't guess.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Well, basically, we thought we'd come, and if we know it, we know it.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31If we don't, then, you know... we know what we know.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Daphne, you have a middle ground here,

0:01:33 > 0:01:36cos sometimes you don't know things, but you DO know them.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Or you guess them right. How do you do that? It's not just guessing.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44Well, I can't explain my thought processes,

0:01:44 > 0:01:48but sometimes it's just a little, what we call, an inkling.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52And if it's 50-50,

0:01:52 > 0:01:57then that one slightly more 50 than the other one...

0:01:57 > 0:02:02It's almost like your brain is an enormous attic with no light.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05- We have got brains like Velcro. - Yes, brains like Velcro.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08I was going to say, you go in and you rummage.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- And you find things you didn't know were there.- Yes.- Sometimes.- Yes.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Sometimes.- Not always, though.- No. - You quiz together, of course?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Yes, we do.

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Down the pub or where?

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Sometimes the pub, but normally just with each other.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23- We just enjoy it, so...- What is it about quizzing that is just such a British thing?

0:02:23 > 0:02:28- LAUGHTER It is, isn't?- It is.- Tradition. - OK, good luck in this.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:34 > 0:02:36the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39So, We Know What We Know, the Eggheads have won the last three games,

0:02:39 > 0:02:43which means the £4,000 says that you can't beat them today.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Are you ready to start?- Yes.- Yes.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Who would like this?

0:02:50 > 0:02:55- Who's the History player?- I reckon I'll go for it.- Do you want to?

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Go with Harry?- Are you OK? - Yeah, we're going to go with Harry.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04OK, Harry, on History... Harry on history, against which Egghead?

0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Dave.- I think we'll go Dave. - Yeah, Dave, please.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK, Harry on History from We Know What We Know,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13to Tremendous Knowledge Dave - how about that?

0:03:13 > 0:03:14The perfect connection on History.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16And just to ensure there's no conferring,

0:03:16 > 0:03:20would you please take positions in the Question Room?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Good luck against Tremendous Knowledge Dave on History.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25And, Harry, you can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Er, I'll go first, please.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Here we go. Which UK Prime Minister resigned from his post

0:03:34 > 0:03:36in the year John F Kennedy was assassinated?

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Right, I'm going to be honest, this question definitely

0:03:44 > 0:03:48predates by birth, so I've narrowed out what I'm going for there.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51I haven't really heard of Harold Macmillan or Edward Heath,

0:03:51 > 0:03:56- so I'm going to guess Harold Wilson, I think.- 1963 was when it happened.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- It was Harold Macmillan. Harry... - Oh, well.- Another Harry!

0:04:01 > 0:04:02Dave, over to you.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07At the end of 1943, part of the South Hams district of Devon

0:04:07 > 0:04:12was evacuated to make way for rehearsals for which military event?

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Oh, right, rehearsals. Erm, I'll go D-Day Landings.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23D-Day Landings is the right answer.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Well done, Dave. You've taken the lead.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Harry, see if you get some more luck with this question.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Immediately prior to his return to Iran in 1979,

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Ayatollah Khomeini lived in which country?

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Again, I've got one that I'm not entirely sure on.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48Iran has had some potentially bad press recently, so I might have

0:04:48 > 0:04:49to go with East Germany,

0:04:49 > 0:04:52as it's that side of the Berlin Wall at the time.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54So I'm going to saw East Germany.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56- He was in exile in, I think... was it Paris?- Paris.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Yes, Paris in France. France is the answer, Harry.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your question.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06You get this one right, then the round is yours.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Which famous designer built the R100 Airship that successfully

0:05:10 > 0:05:13flew to Canada and back in 1930?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20I'm going to go Nigel Gresley.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Oh... What?! - Chris is appalled.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Chris, why the reaction?

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Well, Nigel Gresley was the chief mechanical engineer

0:05:27 > 0:05:29of the London and North Eastern Railway at the time.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34- He had nothing whatever to do with flying contraptions.- So it was...?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Barnes Wallis.- Barnes Wallis it was, Dave.- I didn't know.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39So you're not knocked out just yet, Harry.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Come on, let's get a right answer here.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45Which Roman emperor was the immediate successor of Trajan?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Erm, again, this is one that I'm not entirely sure on...

0:05:54 > 0:05:58OK, well, in terms of the name, it's like Hadrian,

0:05:58 > 0:06:01and I'm not entirely sure, so I'm going to guess Hadrian.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03I'm liking your logic here.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Has he got it right, team? Do you think?- I think so.- I think so.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08- I don't know.- It just proves we know what we know,

0:06:08 > 0:06:09cos he doesn't know...

0:06:09 > 0:06:11He's got it right, though. Well done!

0:06:11 > 0:06:12- Well done, mate.- Well done!

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Off the starting blocks, Harry.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16There's something about the H answers, isn't there?

0:06:16 > 0:06:19It's Harold Macmillan and then it's Hadrian.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21There's a pattern here.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24- OK, Dave, if you get this one wrong, we go to Sudden Death.- Mm-hm.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Which house on the Sandringham estate

0:06:26 > 0:06:29was the home of George V before he became King?

0:06:34 > 0:06:38I've not heard of this at all, so I'm going to go for Brook Cottage.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Any Eggheads know?- York. - York Cottage.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43York Cottage is the right answer, Dave,

0:06:43 > 0:06:46so one point each after three questions.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49We go to Sudden Death. I might call that a let-off, Harry.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Yeah, I would as well, I think.

0:06:51 > 0:06:56- It gets a little trickier now, cos I don't give your alternative answers. We're on Sudden Death, OK?- OK.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58The remains of the Venerable Bede are believed

0:06:58 > 0:07:01to have been transferred in the 11th century

0:07:01 > 0:07:03to which northern city's cathedral?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Right, well, I'm not sure, if I'm honest.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09If I think of big cathedrals in the north, there's Durham,

0:07:09 > 0:07:12York, there's Ripon - I suppose that's a bit smaller.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15York's obviously got the Archbishop of York,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18so I'm going to choose York, I think.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21You're mainly from Darlington, team-mates. Where do you think?

0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Is he right about this?- I don't know.- Not 100% sure.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28It's Durham.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32You named it and then moved past it, I'm afraid.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Dave, Simon de Montfort, the leader of a baronial revolt

0:07:37 > 0:07:43against Henry III, was invested with which earldom in 1239?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Earl of Leicester.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Leicester is a right answer, Dave, well done.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51You've taken the round. Sorry, Harry, you were knocked out there,

0:07:51 > 0:07:53but early days for your team,

0:07:53 > 0:07:55and let's see what happens next. Do return to us.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00So, as it stands, We Know What We Know have taken a knock

0:08:00 > 0:08:03and lost a brain - Harry's - from the final round.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05The Eggheads have still not lost a brain.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08They're all sitting there rather over-contentedly.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12A bit smug, you may say! We'll see whether something can happen now.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14The next subject is Music.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Who wants this?- Chris.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- I think, Chris. Yeah?- I think it's going to have to be myself.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25OK, Chris, and against which Egghead? It can't be Dave.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27I think I'll take on Chris.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29This has happened more than once recently, hasn't it?

0:08:29 > 0:08:33- That the person with the name Chris goes with Chris.- Good name.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37- It is a very good name.- If we got together any time, we could take over the world.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38LAUGHTER

0:08:38 > 0:08:41So Chris from We Know What We Know, and Chris from the Eggheads,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44please get together now in our question rooms.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Would you like to go first or second, Chris from the Challengers?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52I will go...second, please.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Here we go. Egghead Chris, your question.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00For what does PYT stand in the title of a 1984 single

0:09:00 > 0:09:01for Michael Jackson?

0:09:05 > 0:09:08I don't think it's People You Trust.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10It's got to be Pretty Young Thing.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15PYT is Pretty Young Thing, yes. Chris, your question.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Which one of these was a founder member of the girl group, Bananarama?

0:09:23 > 0:09:29Well, I believe Nadine was in Girls Aloud.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Liz McClarnon, I think, was in Atomic Kitten.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34So I'm going to go with Keren Woodward.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Have you heard of Bananarama?

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- I was very young, but, yes, yes.- You were very young.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42That's what I was thinking. I think, just as you are born,

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- they were singing the first... - Yeah, I believe so.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48But you got it right, Chris, well done. Keren Woodward.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50OK. Chris - Egghead Chris -

0:09:50 > 0:09:55what was the title of Neil Young's 1972 UK top ten single?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Well, Heart of Glass was Blondie, so it's not that.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Heart of Darkness is a Joseph Conrad novel,

0:10:05 > 0:10:07so it's got to be Heart of Gold.

0:10:07 > 0:10:12- Yeah, it is Heart of Gold. You've heard the song, yeah?- Oh, yeah.- OK.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15We Know What We Know, we are back with you, back with Chris.

0:10:15 > 0:10:20The arrival in Europe in 1919 of the Southern Syncopated Orchestra

0:10:20 > 0:10:23did much to popularise what type of music?

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Popularise...Classical.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Orchestra...

0:10:32 > 0:10:35I know people would say orchestra, a bit of classical, but...

0:10:39 > 0:10:40Popularise.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'll go with classical.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Eggheads.- ALL: Jazz.- Jazz, yeah.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Too early for rock 'n' roll, but it was jazz.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Where are the origins

0:10:50 > 0:10:52of the very start of jazz? It was the USA, yeah?

0:10:52 > 0:10:56And 19th-century?

0:10:56 > 0:11:01Jazz, or what we would call jazz today, would go back to about 1880s.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Various other things fed into it.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05OK. Big Chris.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07You get the round if you get this one right, Chris.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09"Wherever we go, whatever we do,

0:11:09 > 0:11:12"we're going to go through it together"

0:11:12 > 0:11:16are lines from the song Together Wherever We Go from which musical?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Well, it ain't Bugsy Malone.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Nor is it Carousel. It's Gypsy.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30Gypsy is the right answer, Chris, well done. You've got the round.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Sorry, other Chris. You're knocked out,

0:11:33 > 0:11:36but he's a doughty fighter, old Chris the Train.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40He went like an express train and you've been knocked out, Chris.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Do return to us here.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46So as it stands We Know What We Know, our challenging team,

0:11:46 > 0:11:49have lost two brains now from the final round.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51The Eggheads have still not lost a brain.

0:11:51 > 0:11:56The next subject for you is geography. Who wants this?

0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Can't be Chris or Harry.- I'm all right to take it. I'll give it a go.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- I'm not very good. - Against which one?

0:12:02 > 0:12:07I think we be better off with you two, so... Yes, I'm going to go.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Good, Laura. Get into the question booth. Excellent.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- Against which Egghead?- Who should I go for?- Go for your idol.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16I was going to say, go for your idol.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Whoever you want to do it with.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22- I think I'd like to face Daphne, two girls and that.- OK, very good.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Quite nice.- So Laura from We Know What We Know against Daphne.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28This is the great test of We Know What We Know, or Daphne's thing,

0:12:28 > 0:12:30the inkle, sometimes we know stuff we don't know.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33So we can find out what happens when you go up against each other.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Please go to the question room now.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Well, Laura, I know you're a fan of the show.- I am.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41So I'm hoping you're feeling good about this moment.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44I'm very excited, Jeremy.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46How does it feel being in the question room

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- next to the great Daphne? - It's so strange. But amazing.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Great experience. - Let's see how you go.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54On geography, Laura, would you like to go first or second?

0:12:54 > 0:12:55I think I'll go with first, Jeremy.

0:12:58 > 0:13:04Here we go. The volcano Eyjafjallajokull

0:13:04 > 0:13:08which erupted in 2010 causing major disruption to civil aviation

0:13:08 > 0:13:10is located in which country?

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Right.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20I think I've heard of a volcano in Iceland.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24It sounds more from there to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28But I think I'm going to go, have a punt and go with Iceland.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Iceland is the right answer. Well done.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34You've sent ash up into the air. Amazingly delayed flights

0:13:34 > 0:13:37all over the world, didn't it? Incredible. Daphne.

0:13:37 > 0:13:42San Miguel is the largest island in which Atlantic Ocean group?

0:13:49 > 0:13:53Well, the other two are in the Indian Ocean,

0:13:53 > 0:13:56and it's the Azores.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00Azores is the right answer. Back to you, Laura.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02What type of vehicles carry passengers

0:14:02 > 0:14:04on the Nottingham Express transit system?

0:14:10 > 0:14:14One of my best friends lives in Nottingham so I've been there

0:14:14 > 0:14:19a few times and I've noticed there's definitely quite a few tram rails,

0:14:19 > 0:14:20so I'm going to go with trams.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Trams is the right answer.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Playing well. Doing really well.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Two out of two.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30OK, Daphne, your question. What is the approximate size...

0:14:30 > 0:14:31SHE LAUGHS

0:14:31 > 0:14:35I know you love these. ..In square kilometres of Australia.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42SHE SIGHS

0:14:45 > 0:14:48I don't know! 70 million.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52- The answer is 7.7 million. - Oh, right!- Got it wrong.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54OK. This is good, Laura, isn't it?

0:14:54 > 0:14:58- Yeah, really good. - Treasure the moment, here,

0:14:58 > 0:15:01you're ahead of Daphne. Big Eggheads fan, playing Daphne

0:15:01 > 0:15:04and you're about to pitch her out of the competition, and she'll be

0:15:04 > 0:15:07very sporting if you do, so you don't have to worry about that.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09- You've got to get this one right though.- OK.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13The shipping forecast area formerly known as Heligoland

0:15:13 > 0:15:14now has what name?

0:15:18 > 0:15:21I don't know, this one's going to have to be a guess.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Just go straight down the middle and try Viking.- See if Daphne knows.

0:15:24 > 0:15:29- Daphne?- German Bight.- German Bight is the answer. Oh, Laura.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33Have we let her back in with all her inkles on the run?

0:15:33 > 0:15:37Through which part of England does the M53 motorway run, Daphne?

0:15:40 > 0:15:44- If you get this wrong, Daphne, you will have gone.- I know.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46And I haven't got a clue.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50The Wirral?

0:15:50 > 0:15:55- The Wirral is the right answer! - I'm so sorry!

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Laura, we go to sudden death now.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Which means it gets a tiny bit harder

0:15:59 > 0:16:03because I don't get you alternative answers. Good luck. Here we go.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06Patras, the European Capital of Culture in 2006,

0:16:06 > 0:16:09is the third-largest city in which country?

0:16:09 > 0:16:12I'm thinking, Patras...

0:16:12 > 0:16:15To me it sounds Greek. Maybe.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19Yeah, I think I'll just go with Greece.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Greece is correct!

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Good play.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Daphne, to stay in you need to get this right.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31Latakia is a Mediterranean port in which country?

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Turkey?

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Ooh, Daphne, you got it wrong. It's Syria!

0:16:37 > 0:16:39APPLAUSE

0:16:39 > 0:16:41There we are, Laura, how about that?

0:16:41 > 0:16:44- That's amazing!- It wasn't so bad. You've won, you've triumphed,

0:16:44 > 0:16:47you're in the final round. Well done. Daphne has been knocked out.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51The inkles did not beat the great We Know What We Know team.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Please come back to us, and we will play the next round.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59As it stands, We Know What We Know have lost two brains.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01The Eggheads have lost Daphne, after that big build-up I gave you.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05- It's my fault again, isn't it? - Yes.- The next subject is Sport.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07So which of you would like this?

0:17:07 > 0:17:11THEY CONFER

0:17:11 > 0:17:15- I'll do it.- OK, Neil, against which Egghead? It can be Kevin or Barry.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16So one from either end.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19THEY CONFER

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Yeah, Barry.- All right, I can see you're looking forward to this.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26It's We Know What We Know on Sport and it's Neil playing Barry.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Please go to the question room now.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32So Sport, Neil, would you like to go first or second?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34I'll go first, please.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Here we go. Good luck.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41In boxing, which phrase has been trademarked in the United States

0:17:41 > 0:17:44by the well-known ring announcer Michael Buffer?

0:17:52 > 0:17:53Let's make sure I get this right.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56He's made a fortune from it, hasn't he?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59It's "let's get ready to rumble".

0:17:59 > 0:18:04"Let's get ready to rumble" is the right answer. Well done. OK, Barry.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07In which country is the Ffos Las racecourse located?

0:18:11 > 0:18:14This is one of the newest racecourses to come on stream, isn't it?

0:18:14 > 0:18:16I believe it's in Wales.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Wales is your answer and it's correct.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20That's new, Barry, is it, that one?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Yes, it's only been on stream a couple of years, I think.

0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Interesting. You would have known that, Neil?- Yeah, I knew that.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30LAUGHTER

0:18:30 > 0:18:32The footballer known as Neymar

0:18:32 > 0:18:37made his full international debut in 2010 for which team?

0:18:37 > 0:18:41His name is spelt in N-E-Y-M-A-R. One word.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Yeah, and his ridiculous haircut. It's Brazil.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Brazil is the right answer.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Well, you know your stuff on football, I can tell. OK, Barry.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Which British sportsperson did Toni Minichiello

0:18:57 > 0:19:01coach to gold at the 2012 Olympics?

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Toni Minichiello, that name rings a bell.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Ah! It was Jessica Ennis.

0:19:11 > 0:19:16- Why do you say that with such certainty?- I just remembered it.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20I read a piece on this just a few days ago. Toni Minichiello

0:19:20 > 0:19:23is the coach of Jessica Ennis. OK. So we're equal after two, two each.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Neil.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29The record for the longest Davis Cup match in history

0:19:29 > 0:19:34was broken in February 2013 in a doubles match between Switzerland

0:19:34 > 0:19:38and the Czech Republic that lasted just over how many hours?

0:19:40 > 0:19:43It was that one in Wimbledon, wasn't it, a couple of years ago,

0:19:43 > 0:19:44that was 12 or something?

0:19:46 > 0:19:50So I'd go with 11, but it's a total guess.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Let's see if Barry knows this. Barry?- I would have gone with seven.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Seven is the right answer, Neil. Yeah.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Barry, if you get this right, you're in the final round.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04In 2012, which rugby union team began playing home games

0:20:04 > 0:20:06at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford?

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Oxford stadium. I'm pretty certain it's not London Irish.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23Not sure on this one. I'm going to go for London Wasps.

0:20:23 > 0:20:24I wonder if Neil knows this.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26I'd have guessed possibly London Welsh

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- but it would have been a guess. - London Welsh would have been right!

0:20:29 > 0:20:32Barry got it wrong, so you're equal

0:20:32 > 0:20:36after three questions. This is getting to be quite a contest now.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39Keep up the pressure here, Neil, don't let him in.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives, OK?

0:20:42 > 0:20:45The Borg-Warner trophy is awarded to the winner of which race?

0:20:47 > 0:20:51I don't have a clue. I'll guess at the New York Marathon.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Absolute guess.- Anyone here know? - ALL: Indianapolis 500.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Indianapolis 500 is the answer.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Not the New York Marathon.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02This for the round, Barry.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06- The Wire is the nickname of which British rugby league team?- The Wire?

0:21:06 > 0:21:12- The Wire.- Rugby league teams tend to be alliterative.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15So I'm looking at Widnes or Warrington.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23- I'll go for Warrington.- I can accept that. The team is Warrington Wolves.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Warrington Wolves.- Yeah. But I can accept Warrington.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30So you've done it. That was a good bit of logic there,

0:21:30 > 0:21:31actually pulling that out.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33The Wire are the Warrington Wolves.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37And Neil, that means you will not be in the final round. I'm sorry.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40Wow! Good contest! Come back to us and we will play that final.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44So this is what we have been playing towards.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47It is time for the final round which as always is general knowledge.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51But I'm afraid those of you who lost head-to-head won't be able to

0:21:51 > 0:21:53take part in this round, so Harry, Chris and Neil

0:21:53 > 0:21:57from We Know What We Know and Daphne from the Eggheads,

0:21:57 > 0:21:59would you please leave the studio?

0:22:01 > 0:22:03So Laura and Tim, you're playing to win

0:22:03 > 0:22:06We Know What We Know £4,000.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10Kevin, Dave, Chris and Barry, you're playing for something

0:22:10 > 0:22:13that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18This time the questions are all general knowledge

0:22:18 > 0:22:20and you can confer with each other.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21So Laura and Tim, the question is,

0:22:21 > 0:22:24are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26And would you like to go first or second?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28- I think we'd like to go first, please.- First.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34OK, here we go. Good luck.

0:22:34 > 0:22:39Six-pack is a colloquial term for a well-developed set of which muscles?

0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Definitely abdominals.- Abdominals, isn't it, yeah? Abdominals.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54Abdominals is the right answer, well done. You're off the starting pad.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58Eggheads, in the children's book Stig of the Dump, what is Stig?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Caveman.- Happy with caveman?- Yeah.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Stig is a caveman.- He is a caveman.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14I remember reading that, I think 40 years ago. OK, your question.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18Harry Selfridge, the retail magnate who founded the store

0:23:18 > 0:23:21that is named after him, was born in which country?

0:23:24 > 0:23:30- I know this one.- Yeah, it's been on TV.- It's definitely USA.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34- I think we'll go with USA.- Have you been watching it, Laura?- Yes.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38USA is the right answer. Two out of two!

0:23:38 > 0:23:43Here's your question, Eggheads. Petra, a ruined city in Jordan,

0:23:43 > 0:23:47derives its name from the ancient Greek word for what?

0:23:50 > 0:23:54THEY CONFER

0:23:54 > 0:23:56The word is petros, which means rock.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Rock is the right answer. So it's your third question.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Get this one right, Laura, you know this quiz really well.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05The third is often vital.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08Put the pressure on them, who knows what could happen.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12What is the name of the detective created by Michael Innes

0:24:12 > 0:24:16in the 1930s who first appeared in the novel

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Death at the President's Lodging?

0:24:24 > 0:24:27- I'm not sure.- I've got no idea.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Do you want to try and knock one out or anything?

0:24:33 > 0:24:37- No.- I honestly have no clue.

0:24:37 > 0:24:401930s, think of maybe a name from back then that was common?

0:24:40 > 0:24:43I have an inkling towards John Appleby, but that's just me.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- It's up to you.- You've been quite good today, haven't you?

0:24:48 > 0:24:52You've been lucky today, so we'll go with John Appleby.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54John Appleby is your answer. OK.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56And the whole We Know What We Know thing

0:24:56 > 0:24:58was that if you don't know, you don't know.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01We now realise that if you don't know, you sometimes do know,

0:25:01 > 0:25:05because John Appleby is quite right! Well done.

0:25:05 > 0:25:06You've played really well.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09So he's an American author, is he, or what?

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- No, British.- So he's writing about the President's lodging, but...?

0:25:12 > 0:25:14No, the President in this instance

0:25:14 > 0:25:18- is the president of an Oxbridge college.- Oh, I see. OK.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Very academic settings, often, for his books.- Oh, OK!

0:25:21 > 0:25:23I was thinking American. All right.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27John Appleby is right anyway, well done. Three out of three.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Well, well, well, Eggheads, we've been here before.

0:25:30 > 0:25:35Just when you thought you were safe to go back in the water.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38What entertainment did the entrepreneur Bertram Mills

0:25:38 > 0:25:42regularly stage at Christmas in Olympia in London

0:25:42 > 0:25:43beginning in 1920?

0:25:47 > 0:25:50ALL: Bertram Mills Circus.

0:25:50 > 0:25:55That was, very big in its day, Bertram Mills Circus.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Circus is your answer. Did used to say "roll up"?

0:25:58 > 0:26:02Did he have some kind of...? Why have we heard of Bertram?

0:26:02 > 0:26:07- It was the definitive circus for years.- Circus is the right answer.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10So we go to Sudden Death, gets a bit harder,

0:26:10 > 0:26:12I don't give you alternatives.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17Ringo Starr sings the lead vocal on which track

0:26:17 > 0:26:22on the Beatles 1967 album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?

0:26:23 > 0:26:27- I am really rubbish at Beatles songs. - I was hoping you'd know!

0:26:27 > 0:26:30Honestly, I'm appalling at them.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Strawberry Fields, Let It Be... I'm really bad.- On that album?

0:26:34 > 0:26:38Obviously Sergeant Pepper, but I don't think it would be that one.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42I'm not sure. I'm not sure which songs are on which albums.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Do you want to just guess one, a famous one?

0:26:45 > 0:26:49- Strawberry Fields?- Yeah. - Strawberry Fields?

0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Forever?- Strawberry Fields Forever?

0:26:53 > 0:26:57- I think that might be on that album, actually, isn't it?- ALL: It's not.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59The album starts with the track

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

0:27:02 > 0:27:06and then it just kind of sweeps into a second track which goes...

0:27:06 > 0:27:08# What would you do if I sang out of tune... #

0:27:08 > 0:27:12and that's With A Little Help From My Friends. That is the answer.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14With A Little Help From My Friends.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Oh, well..- So we're on Sudden Death.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21If you get this one right then the contest is over.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Here we go, Eggheads. Which film starring David Niven

0:27:24 > 0:27:26and directed by Powell and Pressburger

0:27:26 > 0:27:30was shown at the first Royal film performance in 1946?

0:27:30 > 0:27:33- A Matter Of Life And Death. - Yes, A Matter Of Life And Death.

0:27:33 > 0:27:38It's the one where he plays an RAF pilot who might or might not be dead,

0:27:38 > 0:27:41and has to go through a trial in heaven,

0:27:41 > 0:27:43and it's called A Matter Of Life And Death.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47A Matter Of Life And Death is the right answer,

0:27:47 > 0:27:50so we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Thank you, Laura and Tim, for coming in. And team.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02- And I hope you enjoyed it. - Very enjoyable, thank you very much.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05You ran them pretty close, you ran them close.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08If just one or two answers at the end had gone your way you would have

0:28:08 > 0:28:09definitely beaten them.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11So, commiserations to We Know What We Know.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14As you now discover, you know some things that maybe you don't know.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Maybe, yes.- Some brilliant guessing on your side as well.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them

0:28:19 > 0:28:22and they reign supreme over Quizland still.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £4,000

0:28:25 > 0:28:28so the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:34 > 0:28:36have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39£5,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
