0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14the 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 the might of our quiz Goliaths today are
0:00:35 > 0:00:38the Tea Tasters from North Yorkshire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Now, this team of colleagues
0:00:39 > 0:00:42all work for the same tea company based in Harrogate
0:00:42 > 0:00:45and regularly quiz together at their local pub, Christies.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Frank, I'm 23 and I'm a tea buyer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Suzy, I'm 30 and I'm a tea taster.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Will, I'm 31 and I've been a tea buyer for 18 months.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Becky, I'm 28 and I'm a trainee tea buyer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Simon, I'm 34 and I've been buying tea for seven years.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Well, welcome to you, Tea Tasters.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So, I want to talk a lot about tasting tea, but what about
0:01:08 > 0:01:11tasting whatever it is you drink at Christies
0:01:11 > 0:01:13and the quiz you do there, Frank?
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Oh, that's normally a pint of real ale.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Since I've moved over to Yorkshire, I've become
0:01:16 > 0:01:18quite fond of that as well as tea.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21OK! It doesn't spoil the palate for the tea then, does it?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Um, no, I don't think so, not when we all have it, so.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25THEY LAUGH
0:01:25 > 0:01:27And there's a good pub quiz there, is there?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Yeah, it's pretty good.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We have our ups and downs, but, normally ups, so...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Oh, good, OK. So, let's hope you're on an up here.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Let me tell you about the money. Every day,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38there's £1,000's worth of cash up for grabs for all our challengers.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42the prize money rolls over to the next show,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44so, Tea Tasters, the Eggheads have won the last ten games.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49That means £11,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Shall we play it? Let's start with our opening round.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54First head-to-head, it's Sport.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Who'd like to play this? Sport.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- That needs to be you, Will. - Yeah, um...
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I think that you would be the most strong.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I think Will will play at this category.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05OK, Will, and who are you playing from the Eggheads?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06I'm going to play Chris today.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Ah-hah! What a turn-up for the books that is!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11OK, let's have Will and Chris into the Question Room, please,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14to make sure you both can't confer with your teams.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Well, Will, we'll talk about tea first, shall we?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Sport in a minute, tea first. How did you get into tea buying then?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Pure chance, really.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24I've always been a big tea drinker,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27but I saw an advert on the local news looking for a tea buyer to come
0:02:27 > 0:02:31and drink tea and travel the world, and I thought I fancy trying that
0:02:31 > 0:02:34and, fortunately, a year or so later, I got a job tasting tea.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36That doesn't sound bad, does it?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I mean, do they have to test out your tongue and your palate?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Is there a certain type of person who probably can't do it?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44The taste buds aren't developed enough or something?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46They reckon you can train about 95% of people to do it,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49but it is a long process, it takes about five years, probably,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53and still, even after that, you're still learning new things every day.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54So, it is a long process, so...
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Well, let's play this sport round, shall we?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Do you want to go first or second, Will?- I'll go first, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Best of luck.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07First question, which golf course hosted the 2013 Open Championship?
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Which golf course hosted the 2013 Open Championship?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Um, I'm not a big golfer. I've started playing again recently,
0:03:19 > 0:03:20trying to, uh...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23..run through a few certain ones in my head.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27It's not a certainty,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29but I think I'm going to go with Muirfield for this one.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Muirfield. OK, something is sticking in the memory.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Do you think you watched one of the...?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I've got a feeling I remember it being in Scotland,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39but, obviously, if it's not Muirfield, that's a bit of a...
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- falsity.- You've got it, it's right. Yes, Muirfield is correct.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44And your first question, Chris.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Which football team won the 2012-13 Premier League title?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Which football team won the 2012-13 Premier League title?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Dave will kill me if I get this wrong.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Um...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Well, it must have been Man U, Manchester United.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Yeah, of those three, yeah!
0:04:03 > 0:04:04THEY LAUGH
0:04:05 > 0:04:08It is Manchester United. Yes, you're right.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14OK, Will, in which weight category does the boxer Tyson Fury
0:04:14 > 0:04:15usually compete?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22In which weight category does the boxer Tyson Fury usually compete?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Again, I'm not 100% on this. I don't watch a lot of boxing,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30but I can picture him being a fairly big guy,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34so I'm going to rule out featherweight and go for
0:04:34 > 0:04:35heavyweight.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36OK, "fairly big guy." I thought
0:04:36 > 0:04:39you might have gone middleweight having said that,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41but you've gone for the right one, it's heavyweight.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43It's correct, well done.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Chris, which six-time Olympic gold medal winner
0:04:45 > 0:04:49announced their retirement from cycling in 2013?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Which six-time Olympic gold medal winner
0:04:55 > 0:04:58announced their retirement from cycling in 2013?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I think that was Bradley Wiggins.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03EGGHEADS GASP
0:05:03 > 0:05:05OK, Bradley Wiggins.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08No, it's incorrect. Do you know, Will?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Sir Chris Hoy.- Sir Chris Hoy. - Oh...- Yeah.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13It's Chris Hoy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14So...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16real opportunity here then.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Will, this gives you a place in the final round.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Can you tell me which role is most associated with
0:05:21 > 0:05:23the England cricketer Joe Root?
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Um...I think he's been opening the batting, so I'm going to go batsman.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35You're convinced Joe Root is one of the top batsmen,
0:05:35 > 0:05:37and you're right! You're in!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39APPLAUSE
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Knocked Chris for six and you're straight into the final round.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Well, the Tea Tasters spat out one of the Eggheads there.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Chris won't be appearing in the final round.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Tea Tasters are all there. Second round coming up right now.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58It's Film & Television.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Who'd like to play this?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- What are you thinking?- Shall we go with Frank?- I think go for it.- Yeah?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I think I'm going to play this round, Dermot.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07OK, Frank, who'd you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It can't be Chris. Any of the two either side of him.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- I think go for Pat.- Go for Pat? Go for Pat.- Speak up.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- We're happy with Pat.- Yeah, we're going to go with Pat, please.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18OK, right, well, Pat you like your film, don't you?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- I do, yes.- OK, it should be a good round then.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Let's have Frank and Pat into the Question Room, please.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29So, Frank, on a good day, how many teas could you taste?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Oh, during the peak season, around 1,000 a day.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I didn't even know there was 1,000.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I mean, well, how do you change the palate?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I know with wine you spit it out
0:06:39 > 0:06:41and have a bit of a cracker or something.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Yeah, it is similar.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45We slurp the tea,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48we try to take in some oxygen with it as well, cos
0:06:48 > 0:06:53it's better for being able to analyse what flavours you're detecting.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55And, in terms of developing your palate,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58it's all just about experience and practice
0:06:58 > 0:07:02and being able to associate different sensations and different flavours
0:07:02 > 0:07:06with any qualities of the tea or issues that they might have.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09That's fascinating and there are, well, at least 1,000 varieties,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11many more, I guess, are there, of tea?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Yes, I mean, each different garden
0:07:13 > 0:07:17can have its own special characteristics and, over time,
0:07:17 > 0:07:21you begin to recognise a tea garden or, when you're just starting out,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24just a country, whichever country the tea's come from.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25But, has it ruined you?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28When you go into a cafe for a bacon butty and they plonk down
0:07:28 > 0:07:29the old cup of tea, do you think,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31"I'm not drinking that! That's rubbish?!"
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Yeah, definitely. I've become something of a tea snob, I'm afraid.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Oh, dear!- But...yeah!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38All right, we're playing Film & Television here.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40We don't have a tea round. We have a Food & Drink round,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43don't know if that's coming up, but you're playing Film & TV.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46I'll go first, please.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51OK, good luck. Frank, first question, in 2013,
0:07:51 > 0:07:55the panel of the television show, The Voice UK featured
0:07:55 > 0:07:58how many coaches looking for a new artist?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02In 2013, the panel of the television show,
0:08:02 > 0:08:07The Voice UK featured how many coaches looking for a new artist?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Now, I'm not very big on my reality TV or talent shows,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14but I have seen it, every now and then, and I can...
0:08:14 > 0:08:17think of certainly more than two, but I don't think it was
0:08:17 > 0:08:20quite as many as six, so I'm going to go with four.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22OK. Thinking of all those swivelling chairs.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It is four, the right answer. Well done, Frank.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27APPLAUSE
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Pat, which English actor
0:08:28 > 0:08:33plays the main villain in the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Which English actor plays the main villain in the 2013 film
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Star Trek Into Darkness?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Well, Tom Hiddleston was a baddie in Avengers Assemble.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53But a man who had loads of big roles around that time was
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Benedict Cumberbatch.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Benedict Cumberbatch...
0:08:57 > 0:08:58as the main baddie.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Yes, that's the right answer. Who does he play?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Khan Noonien Singh, it ties in with Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Thank you, CJ. - CJ LAUGHS
0:09:07 > 0:09:09All right, second question, Frank.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14In which decade did Michael Caine first play the spy Harry Palmer?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Oh...
0:09:21 > 0:09:22..it's a tough one for me.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I would say I wouldn't really be doing Mr Caine justice
0:09:26 > 0:09:28if it was the 1950s, I'd hope!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Between the '60s and the '70s for me.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Yeah, I'm going to go with 1970s.
0:09:35 > 0:09:381970s, Michael Caine as Harry Palmer.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40'50s would have been wrong, but so was the '70s,
0:09:40 > 0:09:41it's the '60s.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45OK, so it was 1965, right in the middle of the '60s there.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Nothing there for Frank.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Pat, in which city is the US TV series Entourage primarily set?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I have never seen it, but I think I've read about it,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and I think the entourage in the title, I think
0:09:59 > 0:10:03it relates to people like agents and hairdressers,
0:10:03 > 0:10:07it's all the people surrounding either television or film
0:10:07 > 0:10:11and, for that reason, I think I'll have to go for Los Angeles.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13OK, how big is your entourage, Pat?
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Uh, I've got quite a few people and,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17if you want a detailed answers, you should speak to my people.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Yeah, I did, but I know whenever I try and talk to you off-set,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I always have to talk to someone else and they say,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24"Well, we'll take a message to him."
0:10:24 > 0:10:25That's the way it has to be, Dermot.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28And the way I'm not allowed to look you in the eye if I do try and...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It would be impertinent, you must concede.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32But I have to look at your feet.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33It's not fair, Pat.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Uh, Los Angeles is the right answer, so you've got two.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38You need this then, Frank.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41For which of these films did Steven Spielberg receive
0:10:41 > 0:10:43a best director Oscar nomination?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I've seen all three of those, um...
0:10:50 > 0:10:53They're certainly all good films.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I would have to say, we were talking about it earlier today,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Jurassic Park.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Jurassic Park, did he receive an Oscar nomination?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03No! Pat, do you know which of the other two did?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I'd guess at Jaws, but I don't know.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08No! It was Raiders of the Lost Ark.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14It is Raiders of the Lost Ark, not Jurassic Park, which means, Frank,
0:11:14 > 0:11:15it's over, I'm afraid.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19You've got those two wrong and Pat already has two correct,
0:11:19 > 0:11:20which means he's won the round.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Well, that's evened it up.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28As it stands, both the Tea Tasters
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Round three, our next subject, it's Science.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37There's quite a lot of Science, I know, in what you do,
0:11:37 > 0:11:38but who'd like to take this one on?
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- I'll give it a try.- Are you?- Yeah. - OK.- Who's playing?- Becky.- Becky.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46OK, Becky, and remember that Pat and Chris have
0:11:46 > 0:11:49played from the Eggheads, so it can Judith, Barry or CJ.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Shall we go with CJ?- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'll go against CJ, please.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00OK, Becky and CJ, we are smiling, CJ.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03He's putting together quite a streak on Science at the moment,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05and which way is the streak going? Up or down, CJ?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Well, I've been consistent in losing all three I've played.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09THEY LAUGH
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Let's see if you can make it four. Let's hope so, Becky.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14OK, Becky and CJ into the Question Room, please.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Now, Becky, it's like the secret to life.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22What is the best way of making a cup of tea?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Um, well, it's very important to always use freshly boiled water.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Right.- And a teapot if you can.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Um, which has been warmed and you need to brew it for between three
0:12:32 > 0:12:34and five minutes, that is what we recommend.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Well, there we have it from the expert!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38All right, well, do you want to let the Eggheads start,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- or do you want to start? - I'll go first, I think, please.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Good luck, Becky. First question on Science.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50What colour is the chemical element chromium in its natural state?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56What colour is the chemical element chromium in its natural state?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Um, something is telling me...um...
0:13:02 > 0:13:07..yellow, I'm not quite sure why, I've just got that feeling connection
0:13:07 > 0:13:10with it somewhere, so I'm going to take a punt and go with yellow.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13OK, yellow for chromium.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15In its natural state, chromium is...
0:13:15 > 0:13:17it's actually grey.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20So, quite close to what it turns out,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24if it is chrome like you find on old-style bumpers.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27CJ, which of these big cats is native to Asia?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32CJ, which of these big cats is native to Asia?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Um, the tiger is from Asia.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Yes, it is. Can't really say more than that.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39It's the right answer. OK, Becky,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Charles Conrad, usually known as Pete Conrad, became the third man
0:13:43 > 0:13:47to walk on the moon when he was the commander of which Apollo mission?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Charles Conrad, usually known as Pete Conrad, became the third man
0:13:55 > 0:13:59to walk on the moon when he was the commander of which Apollo mission?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Hmm...um...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Well, I know the famous film Apollo 13 was about
0:14:03 > 0:14:04when they didn't make it to the moon
0:14:04 > 0:14:08and I think that happened after the original landings.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Um, so I think I'm going to go with Apollo 12. Again, that's just a punt.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14OK. Thank goodness! Nice one.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It's a bit of a tricky one to negotiate
0:14:16 > 0:14:20if you know that Apollo 11 was the first one to successfully do it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Third man to walk on the moon, I thought you might count up
0:14:23 > 0:14:26another two, but, of course, it's two from each mission.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28So, anyway, it was the next mission,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31which was Apollo 12 and Pete Conrad was the commander, so well done.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34And CJ, second question.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38The French chemist Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, a leading figure
0:14:38 > 0:14:41in the Chemical Revolution, lived during which century?
0:14:44 > 0:14:48The French chemist Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, a leading figure
0:14:48 > 0:14:53in the Chemical Revolution, lived during which century?
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I think he was one of the high-profile victims
0:14:57 > 0:15:01of the terror in the French Revolution.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05So, I think if he died in the 1790s, that would make it the 18th century.
0:15:05 > 0:15:0818th century. Well done, CJ, it is correct.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09So, you need this, Becky.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14In the human body, which of these bones is located in the middle ear?
0:15:18 > 0:15:23Um, it isn't something I've come across. Um, but...
0:15:24 > 0:15:26..I don't know why I'm leaning towards it,
0:15:26 > 0:15:27but I'm going to go with Stapes.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31It's the right answer. It's what I wanted to hear...
0:15:31 > 0:15:36in my middle ear. That keeps you in it, but CJ
0:15:36 > 0:15:37has a chance to win the round here.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40The Austrian-born scientist Lisa Meitner was
0:15:40 > 0:15:42instrumental in which discovery?
0:15:46 > 0:15:52Yes, on the Periodic Table one of the elements had its name changed to
0:15:52 > 0:15:57honour her, so it's now Meitnerium, and I think she was nuclear fission.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00And you've just exploded Becky's chances there.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02It is the right answer.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Well, back on form on Science.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Although, I remember the last Science round you lost,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09you were also playing really well. This time you've clinched the deal.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Bad luck, Becky, you really got going there with your second
0:16:12 > 0:16:14and third question, but it was that stumble on the first that's
0:16:14 > 0:16:16cost you a place in the final round.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, the Eggheads crept into the lead.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24As it stands, the Tea Tasters have lost two brains from
0:16:24 > 0:16:26the final round and the Eggheads have lost one.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Will it be all square in the final round?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31This next head-to-head will decide that.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33The next subject is Politics.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Who'd like to play this? We've got Suzy or Simon left?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- We want to save Simon...- Yeah.- ..for the final round, don't we? So...- You.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Against Barry?- Yeah. - Against Barry?- Yeah.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46OK, it'll be me, please, Dermot, against Barry.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48OK, well, you decided that in advance.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Suzy and Barry then playing politics.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Would you both go to the Question Room, please?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Now, Suzy, share the secrets of all your experience with tea with us.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02Is there a type of tea that people like you lot keep to yourselves?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06A special tea, a wonderful tea, that you don't let us know about.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It's not that we don't let you know about it,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10cos it's usually in the tea that we make anyway,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13but there's a very particular quality season in India called
0:17:13 > 0:17:14the second flush season,
0:17:14 > 0:17:19and that's an eight-week period where quality's at its absolute best.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Um, so the second flush Assam season is usually a tea taster's favourite.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Second flush?- Second flush.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It's like the second harvest cos the bushes lie dormant over winter,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31wake up after sort of winter. The spring flush,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35the spring harvest doesn't have all the enzymes in to make it
0:17:35 > 0:17:38top quality, so it's the second flush when photosynthesis is,
0:17:38 > 0:17:39like, at its best.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43OK, that's the one to go for, and it's second flush.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Right, OK, you're playing Politics. Do you want to go first or second?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Um, I think I'm going to go first, actually,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52keeping in tradition with the rest of my team.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56All right, Suzy, good luck with this.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Which of these British political parties was founded at
0:17:58 > 0:18:00the start of the 20th century?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Which of these British political parties was founded at
0:18:05 > 0:18:08the start of the 20th century?
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Uh, I know it wasn't Labour. I'm going to go for Liberal Democrats.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15OK, Liberal, Liberal Democrats. It does...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17it definitely says Liberal there, I'm afraid
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- and it is the- Labour Party. Oh, OK.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Yeah, Lib Dems obviously are a lot later, yes,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and there was mergers and things going on there with the Liberals.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27OK, right, well, nothing there for Suzy.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Barry, what colour is the front door of Number 10,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Downing Street in London?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Uh, this is the most interesting door in the UK,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40because it only opens from the inside,
0:18:40 > 0:18:44you can't open it from the outside, and I do believe it is black.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46OK, and that interests you, does it?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48That it can only open from the inside?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Well, anything that's out of the ordinary interests me.- Yeah.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Black is the right answer, so you have won. Suzy,
0:18:55 > 0:18:56second question.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59On the 1st of October 2013, the national minimum wage
0:18:59 > 0:19:04for people aged 21 and over was raised to how much per hour?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Minimum wage.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15So, um...I think it's been a while since it's been in the £5 region.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- I think I'll go for £6.31. - OK, top-end of the scale.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22You're right. £6.31 is the right answer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Barry,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26your second question. Which political figure was given
0:19:26 > 0:19:30occupation of the official residence Dorneywood in 2010?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Oh, I always get confused between...with Dorneywood.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38One of them's given to the Chancellor
0:19:38 > 0:19:41and one of them's given to the Foreign Secretary.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Dorneywood.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I think Dorneywood is given to the Chancellor,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47so, on that basis, I'll go for George Osborne.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48George Osborne and Dorneywood,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50yeah, you've got it right.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Dorneywood was given to the Chancellor George Osborne in 2010.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57OK, right, Suzy, concentrate on this very important question for you.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Who assassinated the British Prime Minister Spencer Perceval?
0:20:06 > 0:20:11So, yeah, I'm struggling with this question, so it's going to be...
0:20:11 > 0:20:13not too much of an educated guess.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I think it was John Bellingham.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Yes, it was, it's the right answer. Well done.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I hope you're not going to go the way of Becky there,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24stumbled on the first question there,
0:20:24 > 0:20:25and really going strongly on two and three.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28You've got to hope Barry doesn't get this right.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Barry, William Pitt the Younger served as Prime Minister
0:20:30 > 0:20:32of the UK under which monarch?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Well, William Pitt the Younger was our Prime Minister during most
0:20:39 > 0:20:44of the Napoleonic Wars, which kind of rules out William IV and Victoria.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46So, my answer is George III.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48It has come to pass.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Barry, it is the right answer as you well know,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53as we heard there from the way you analysed it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Suzy, bad luck, you have gone exactly the way of Becky.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59And you're really getting into your stride,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01but we're cutting you off in your prime, I'm afraid.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03You won't be in the final round.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09And so, this is what we've been playing towards, it's
0:21:09 > 0:21:12time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15but, I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:15 > 0:21:17won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20So, Frank, Suzy and Becky from the Tea Tasters
0:21:20 > 0:21:23and Chris from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:21:25 > 0:21:29So, Will and Simon, you're playing to win the Tea Tasters £11,000.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32CJ, Barry, Judith and Pat, you are playing for something that
0:21:32 > 0:21:35money cannot buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:40 > 0:21:43and you are allowed to confer, so, Tea Tasters, the question is,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Will and Simon, do you want to go first or second in this final round?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Um, well, I think for the last few rounds, we don't seem to have
0:21:52 > 0:21:55done too well going first, so I think we'll go second.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Change of tactics from the Challengers then,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05hoping the Eggheads will slip up first and they can capitalise,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08so the Eggheads face the first question in the final round
0:22:08 > 0:22:10and it's this, Eggheads.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14The Columbian city of Cartagena is located on the coastline
0:22:14 > 0:22:15of which body of water?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23The Columbian city of Cartagena is located on the coastline
0:22:23 > 0:22:25of which body of water?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Caribbean.- Caribbean.- Caribbean.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- That's the Caribbean. - Caribbean Sea?- Yeah.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32You know it well, don't you, Judith?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34CJ knew what was coming, didn't you?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Right, Caribbean Sea is correct.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Right, Tea Tasters, your first question.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41The Eggheads have not slipped up yet.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Which Friends' character has sisters called Jill and Amy?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Which Friends' character has sisters called Jill and Amy?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Now, this is the kind of question that is very, very easy to
0:22:55 > 0:22:57people who watch Friends and quite difficult if
0:22:57 > 0:23:01you haven't watched it. I don't know. Simon, Will?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Monica and Ross are brother and sister, aren't they?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- I think Chandler's an only child. - Yes, so, I'm pretty sure it's Rachel.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Um, we think that Monica's the sister of Ross, so it's not her,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Chandler, we think, is an only child, so we think it's Rachel.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16OK, I was just wondering
0:23:16 > 0:23:19if you had watched or were still watching Friends.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22It's somewhere in the world, I mean, it's on all the time.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Somewhere in Britain, it's on all the time, it seems.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Um, Rachel is the right answer. Well done. You worked that out.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- CJ:- Played by Christina Applegate and Reese Witherspoon.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Hmm! OK, look at him!
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Very good, CJ. A bit of extra information there.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42OK, second question for the Eggheads.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Blurred Lines was a UK number one single for which singer?
0:23:50 > 0:23:51It was Robin Thicke.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Blurred Lines was a UK number one single for which singer?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56That was Robin Thicke.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Blurred Lines, yes, right answer.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Well done, Eggheads.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02You have two.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I'm sure you would have been OK with those two as well
0:24:04 > 0:24:08if you had gone first, but this is your second question, Tea Tasters.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Which boxer was the central character of
0:24:12 > 0:24:16a 1970s cartoon show entitled, I Am The Greatest?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Which boxer was the central character of
0:24:22 > 0:24:25a 1970s cartoon show entitled, I Am The Greatest?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I think we'll rule Henry Cooper out straightaway,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30cos I don't think he won...
0:24:30 > 0:24:34any world championships, and Muhammad Ali was...
0:24:34 > 0:24:37you know, quite a big personality, always going on about how great
0:24:37 > 0:24:39he was, so I think we'll go with Muhammad Ali.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40It's got to be, really, hasn't it?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I Am The Greatest, Muhammad Ali is the right answer.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45And we're onto the next pair of questions.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Third question for each team, Eggheads first.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Eggheads, And The Mountains Echoed is the third novel by which writer?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03And The Mountains Echoed is the third novel by which writer?
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Max Brooks wrote the book that became World War Z.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09He is the son of the film director.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11What, you mean like the zombie thing?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I'd say he's written three books, hasn't he?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Hosseini, is he the author of The Kite Runner?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Yes, the Kite Runner and another one.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- A Thousand Splendid Suns, was it? - Yes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- So, it could possibly be him. - That's why I thought it was...
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- What about Markus Zusak? - He sounds Eastern European.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I know nothing at all about Markus. He's a...
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I thought Hosseini had written a third book.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- I didn't know what the title was. - Yes, he has,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37but I think that he's written another one.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- And mountains, Afghanistan, hmm, hmm....- Yes, exactly, it fits.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I think we're going to have to go for it. We don't know it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46We haven't enough information.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50OK, well, it's a little bit of a guess,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52but we think it's Khaled Hosseini.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56And The Mountains Echoed is the third novel by...
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- Khaled Hosseini, it's the right answer, Eggheads.- Lucky!
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Right, which means...
0:26:02 > 0:26:04they didn't slip up in any of their first three,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06it means you need to get this, Tea Tasters,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08to take us into Sudden Death.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11In the Old English poem Beowulf,
0:26:11 > 0:26:15which of these opponents does the title character slay first?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22In the Old English poem Beowulf,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25which of these opponents does the title character slay first?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It sounds like he's killed them all.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30He's probably killed them all, it's just what order.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Which order.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Would he...? I'd have thought with the dragon...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35That could have been the final one,
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- to sort of build it up.- I don't know. Who is Grendel?- I don't know.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42But I'm thinking maybe, if it's a poem or a story,
0:26:42 > 0:26:46you'd start low first and build up to someone on that ground.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I'd go Grendel's mother on that ground, but...
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- OK.- ..I really don't know them that well.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Um...we're not too sure on this answer, but we're going to...
0:26:56 > 0:26:58..take a guess and go for Grendel's mother.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03OK, Grendel's mother slain first by Beowulf.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04It is...
0:27:06 > 0:27:07..just Grendel.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11It's not Grendel's mother, it's Grendel, which means no chance for
0:27:11 > 0:27:14another question to the Eggheads, you've put them in first.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Bad luck, Tea Tasters, I don't think you got
0:27:22 > 0:27:25the rub of the green during the course of this whole game. How would
0:27:25 > 0:27:28you have been, out of interest, if you had gone first with those
0:27:28 > 0:27:31questions? How would you have been with, And The Mountains Echoed?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Simon, I think, knew that...
0:27:32 > 0:27:34We knew that he'd done the Kite Runner and he'd done
0:27:34 > 0:27:37a second book which I'd read, I can't remember, and a third...
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, we'll never know, but what we do know is we've learnt an awful lot
0:27:40 > 0:27:42about tea here on Eggheads today,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45so thank you very much indeed for all that advice
0:27:45 > 0:27:46and thanks to all those who played
0:27:46 > 0:27:49and I'd say you got a little bit unlucky in some of those
0:27:49 > 0:27:51head-to-heads, but great to see you, Tea Tasters,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.- But the Eggheads have done what
0:27:54 > 0:27:57comes naturally to them and their winning streak continues.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £11,000.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06So, Eggheads, congratulations. I ask again, who will beat you?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:08 > 0:28:10have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13£12,000 now says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
