0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 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
0:00:36 > 0:00:39today are Twice Around the Lake, from Milton Keynes.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This team of friends are all members of the same running club,
0:00:42 > 0:00:43MK Redway Runners,
0:00:43 > 0:00:48and as a team, they have a 100% winning record in quizzing.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Played one, won one. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Kevin.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm 53 and I'm a managing director.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Andy. I'm 43 and I'm a business manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm 42 and I run my own baking company.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Simon. I'm 33 and I'm a musician.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Glenn. I'm 50 and I'm a university administrator.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I like the 100% record. Let's try and keep that up.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Played two, won two. You'll win some money if you do that today.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Tell me about the running. How far is it, twice around the like?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24It's about eight miles twice around. Willen Lake in Milton Keynes.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Often you set out hoping to do two and manage one.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31That's quite nice when you're running around in circles.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I suppose when you get halfway round the second lap,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- you're a bit stuck.- You're a long way away.- Is it a real lake,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39in the sense that, I know a lot of Milton Keynes has been created,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41was the lake created, or was it always there?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Yes, the lake was created when they built the town,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and diverted a river to create it.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50One of the Japanese schools is there.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54There's a peace pagoda. It's a big part of Milton Keynes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Listen, let's see if you can, as I say on that quizzing,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00keep up the 100% record. You only need to win one more.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Let me tell you about the money.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:05 > 0:02:08for our Challengers. However, if they fail to beat the Eggheads,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10the prize money rolls over to the next show,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13so, Twice Around The Lake, the Eggheads have won just the last game
0:02:13 > 0:02:16so £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21And our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Who would like to play this? Who'd like to start us?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Right.- Who would like to do it?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Would you like to, Glenn?- I'll take History, if you want.- OK.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- I think History is Glenn.- OK, Glenn, and choose an Egghead.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Anyone, of course, at this stage. Opening round.- Dave.- Dave?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I'd like to go against Dave, please.- All right.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43It's going to be Glenn and Dave, kicking us off on the History round.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Can I ask you both please to go to the Question Room?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49OK, History it is, and do you want to go first or second, Glenn?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'll go first, please.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Good luck, Glenn. First question.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59The ancient city of Carthage was in which continent?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03OK.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10I'm not actually too sure about this. I don't think it's in Europe.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I think it's actually North Africa, so I'm going to go for Africa.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Africa. Yes, you're right. Carthaginians and all that.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Your question, Dave.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27What caused structural damage to Lincoln Cathedral in 1185?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Don't think it was a volcano, I don't think it was a tsunami,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I think it was an earthquake. DERMOT LAUGHS
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Yeah. When you look at the options, you're going to end up, even if
0:03:39 > 0:03:42you didn't know about it, earthquake is correct.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Good start for you both. Glenn, which Allied army was
0:03:45 > 0:03:49attacked by German forces in the First World War Battle of Verdun?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Can you spell Verdun?- V-E-R-D-U-N.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I'm not sure about this one, either.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04I'm going to follow Judith's rule and go down the right-hand side
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- and go for British.- OK, British. Attacked by the Germans in Verdun.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13No, mainly French.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Means you've got a chance to go into the lead, Dave,
0:04:15 > 0:04:16with your second question.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Who were the followers of Rollo, who was granted the area
0:04:19 > 0:04:24known as Normandy by King Charles the Simple of France in 911?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32I'm going to rule out Huns. I've got Vikings in my head.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33I don't know why.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I am going to go Saxons.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- OK, the answer is Vikings.- Yes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Dave, why did you do that?- I don't know.- First instinct Vikings.- I know.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- So stupid. Brain freeze.- Good news for you, Glenn.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Matilda of Flanders was the wife
0:04:53 > 0:04:56and queen consort of which King of England?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I don't think it's William I, William the Conqueror.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I don't think it's Richard III, either. I'm going to go with Henry V.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13OK, Henry V, for Matilda of Flanders.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16It's not the right answer. Dave, of the other two.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- I would have gone William I. - It is William I.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Matilda of Flanders, his queen consort,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26so, Dave, Clifford's Tower is a prominent medieval keep
0:05:26 > 0:05:28in the centre of which city in the north of England?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33I've never heard of it.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I'm more inclined to go for Durham than the other two.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Yeah, I'll go Durham.- OK, Durham. You've never heard of it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47I'll give you a little clue.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50That last lot of students you played will have heard of it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52DAVE LAUGHS
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- York.- York.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Clifford's Tower in York. Not Durham.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02OK, well, a fairly low scoring but evenly matched so far. One each.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05So, Glenn. We go to Sudden Death.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I'm not going to give you any more options because you've been doing so well in that!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10LAUGHTER
0:06:10 > 0:06:12We thought we'd make it harder for you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14You've just got to tell me the answer.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Glenn, the first Europeans to arrive in what is now
0:06:16 > 0:06:22Sri Lanka in the 16th century were from which country?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I'm thinking we're looking at a seafaring nation,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27so I think we're probably looking at
0:06:27 > 0:06:32probably Spain, Portugal, France or Britain.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39There's a lot of Portuguese communities down the side
0:06:39 > 0:06:42of India, so I don't think it's Spanish.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I think we'll go Portuguese.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Portugal is correct, Glenn. Very good. OK.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Means you need this, Dave.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54The Jamestown Line was a series of defensive positions
0:06:54 > 0:06:59occupied by United Nations forces during which conflict?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02That doesn't sound right for either of the wars I'm thinking of, but...
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- What are they, Dave?- I'm thinking either Korea or Vietnam.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12All right, I'll just go totally different. United Nations forces.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14No, but, again, it doesn't make any sense.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm going all over the place, so I'll go for the Six-Day War.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Six-Day War, an Arab and Israeli conflict.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29I'm afraid, Dave, not a United Nations-backed conflict, far from it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31You said it, Dave. A lot of people forget.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- The thing about the Korean War... - Right.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38..think about Korea being the Americans, but it was a United Nations-backed war.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Yes, so the Korean War was a UN-sanctioned and backed conflict
0:07:43 > 0:07:45and that's what you didn't get,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47which means, Glenn, great news.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49You're through to the final round.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57OK, as it stands, Twice Around The Lake haven't lost any
0:07:57 > 0:07:58brains from the final round.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00The Eggheads have lost one in the form of Dave.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Our next subject is Music, so who wants to play this one,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Twice Around The Lake?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- No pressure, Simon.- I think it's going to be Simon.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I think, as a musician, it's going to be me.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Simon, who'd you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:08:13 > 0:08:20- It can be anyone apart from Dave. - Chris? I think so. Yes.- Yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- I'd like to take on Chris. - All right.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Let's have Simon and Chris playing the Music round, please,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26both from the Question Room.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29How would you like to play it, Simon?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, Dermot.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37And first question to Twice Around The Lake. Here it is.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40The first line of Ike and Tina Turner's song River Deep -
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Mountain High, is... I'm just going to read it.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47"When I was a little girl, I had a..." What?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54OK, this isn't really a song I'm familiar with.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Not a big fan of Tina Turner.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I think I'll go down the middle with teddy bear.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06OK, Ike and Tina Turner, "When I was a little girl, I had a..."
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I suppose you're more on the classical side. It's rag doll.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Not teddy bear. OK. Caught you out with that one.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17And you probably would have preferred this one that Chris is getting.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The composer Harrison Birtwistle was born in which country?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I'm sure he's a Lancashire lad from the UK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29OK, yeah, you are right.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32UK is correct. Simon, nodding along there.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34But it wasn't your question, unfortunately.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Try this one then, Simon.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Which One Direction singer signed for Doncaster Rovers FC in 2013?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Not my favourite group in the world.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52To be honest, the only one I've heard of is Harry Styles, but I would
0:09:52 > 0:09:57have thought if it was him, I would have seen it in the newspapers.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00So I'm going to discount him.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I'm going to go for Liam Payne.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09OK, Liam Payne, signing for Doncaster Rovers.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12It's not Harry Styles, it's not Liam, it is Louis Tomlinson.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17What a set of questions you've managed to find yourself here.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Chris... You get through if you get this.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22..what was the name of Lulu's backing band
0:10:22 > 0:10:24for her first UK chart single, Shout?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31That was Lulu and the Luvvers.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Yeah, and the Eggheads love that answer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It's the right one. I think Simon knew that as well.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Lulu and the Luvvers. It takes you through to the final round.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Simon, just the way those questions fall.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45We always say it in Eggheads, but they really didn't fall your way.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I mean, of course, you know loads and loads about music, but
0:10:49 > 0:10:52not about One Direction and their footballing prowess.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57And indeed, Ike and Tina Turner's song River Deep - Mountain High.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Bad luck. Means you won't be in the final round.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Well, that's levelled it up. Both teams, Twice Round The Lake
0:11:06 > 0:11:09and the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Let's move on to our next subject, it's Geography.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15So three of you left to play this.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Kevin, Andy or Jenny?- It'll be you. - It'll be me.- Well, I think...
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- That'll be me, thank you. - All right. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26You can pay your namesake over there, or Pat or Judith.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I think I'd like to play Judith, thank you.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32All right, Kevin and Judith to play Geography. Into the Question Room.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37OK, Kevin, you know the geography of Milton Keynes
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and its surrounds by running around there. Where else have you been?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41What else do you know about?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I was actually a British diplomat for 18 years
0:11:43 > 0:11:47and I lived many places around the world. I travel regularly.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I got back from Zambia yesterday from one trip,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- so I was hoping this subject might come up.- OK, right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Well, let's see if any of the places you've been appear here.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Let's start and I'll ask you first of all, Kevin,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00do you want to go first or second?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07OK, best of luck, Kevin. First question.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Kirkcudbright is a town in which part of the United Kingdom.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I'm pretty sure that's not in England.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I don't think it's in Northern Ireland
0:12:18 > 0:12:20so I'd go for Scotland, please.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Scotland is the right answer. Well done.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30And Judith. In Wales, what is Cadair Idris?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I think it is a mountain ridge.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It is. Good start for you both.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Mountain ridge. And Kevin, second question.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Bangladesh has a coastline on which body of water?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I think the clue is in the word "Bengal",
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- so I'd like to go with Bay of Bengal, please, Dermot.- Yes. It is indeed.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Well done. Didn't really need to work that one out.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04The other two not very likely. So got that, you have two.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08And Judith, what is the second largest city in Greece?
0:13:11 > 0:13:16Oh, that...that's quite difficult. I'm not sure.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I think it might be Thessalon-eekee or Thessalon-ikee,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24or however you pronounce it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Thessalon-eekee, I think.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29It is. That is the second-largest city in Greece.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32No need to tell me what the first is. And it's 2-2.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Kevin, which city's international airport was renamed after
0:13:36 > 0:13:41the aeronautical engineer Henri Coanda, in 2004?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Could you spell Coanda? - C-O-A-N-D-A.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51First name Henri, H-E-N-R-I.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I've been through this particular airport
0:13:53 > 0:13:57and I don't remember it being called that. But I think I'll go for Zurich.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59OK, Zurich.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I see French links with there, but, of course, that is
0:14:01 > 0:14:05the German-speaking part, isn't it?
0:14:05 > 0:14:10It's not Zurich. Do you know, Judith, of the other two?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I'm sure it can't be Istanbul. It must be Bucharest.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19It is Bucharest. OK, Judith. Well, to get you through, Judith,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23which country has the largest population of Japanese descent
0:14:23 > 0:14:24outside Japan itself?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Heavens above. I thought it might say Peru,
0:14:31 > 0:14:36because I know Peru had a Japanese president at some point.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41I have a feeling it might be Canada, because I think at the outbreak
0:14:41 > 0:14:46of war there was terrible trouble and a lot of them had to be interned.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49There was a novel about it, the name I can't remember.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52So, I think I'm going to go for Canada.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Canada for the largest population of Japanese descent outside Japan.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Wasn't one you were really thinking of. It's Brazil, Judith.- Brazil?!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Nothing for Judith, which is good news for you, Kevin.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11You survive into Sudden Death and we take away those options again.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Lansing, located on the Grand River is the capital of which
0:15:14 > 0:15:20northern US state? Lansing. L-A-N-S-I-N-G.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- That's Michigan, Dermot. DERMOT LAUGHS - Correct.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- Have you been there, Kevin?- Nearby, when I was posted in Canada.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Used to go across into Michigan.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34OK, you got that easily, knew it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37And Judith.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Walvis Bay is a city in which African country?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Oh, gosh, it could be anywhere.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- I don't know, South Africa.- No!
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Close, but it's not the right answer. Other Eggheads?- Namibia.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- It's Namibia.- Oh, Namibia.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Well done, Kev.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Another one gets through.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Kevin, you're in the final round. Well done.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Come on.- Can you please come back and join your teams?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Well, as it stands,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Twice Around The Lake have struck against the Eggheads twice.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12They've knocked two of them out
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and you've lost one brain from the final round.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18So, our final subject before the final round is
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Arts & Books. Who'd like to play this? Andy or Jenny?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Is it by default?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Right, OK.- It's Jenny in the middle, Dermot.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Yes, I think it'll be me, Dermot.- OK, Jenny.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Who would you like to play from Kevin...- Captain, tactic time.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- What do you think?- They're both extremely good.- Kevin or Pat? - Your call.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- Would you like to play Kevin? - Go on.- We'll try Kevin.- We'll play Kevin.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- You're looking forward to that, Jenny, aren't you?- Kind of.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Let's see what the questions are first.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Testing yourself. Let's have Jenny and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Jenny, you strike me as the kind of person who relishes a challenge.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Yes. You could say that, although I'm starting to get a little bit nervous now.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- DERMOT LAUGHS - Too late now. You can choose to go first or second.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I think I'll go first, please.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10OK, best of luck, Jenny. It's Art & Books, and here's your first question.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13What is the name of the stick with a padded head at one end that
0:17:13 > 0:17:16painters use to support their brush hand?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Right, to be honest,
0:17:21 > 0:17:27the thing that came to my mind was none of the three answers. Right, OK.
0:17:27 > 0:17:33I don't think it's fiddlestick. Slapstick, no, that's more comedy.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35So I think I'll have to go with maulstick.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37You can really eliminate the other two
0:17:37 > 0:17:39and get the right answer, well done. Maulstick.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Kevin, which of these novels was written as a satirical
0:17:45 > 0:17:48tale against Stalinism, according to its author?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54That's George Orwell's Animal Farm.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Yes, indeed, Animal Farm is correct.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And Jenny, second question.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Colour field painting is a style of art that arose in which century?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Oooh, toughie. Haven't heard of that, to be honest.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16I don't think it was the 18th century.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It might be something more modern.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23- I'm going to have to go for the 20th century, I think.- OK, 20th century.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Again, kind of eliminating, rather than knowing it,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28and you've got it, Jenny. It is correct. 20th century.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Kevin, second question, then.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35"Kent, sir, everybody knows Kent - apples, cherries,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39"hops and women," is a line from which Charles Dickens work?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46It arises during the course of Mr Pickwick's travels around.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- It's The Pickwick Papers. - How Kent has changed.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56It is the right answer, Pickwick Papers. OK, going well, Jenny.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Let's hope you find one which is more to your taste.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Which poet was expelled from University College Oxford
0:19:02 > 0:19:07after writing a pamphlet entitled, The Necessity of Atheism?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Oooh. Erm...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Atheism. Erm...
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Trying to think of which one might be religious
0:19:22 > 0:19:25and then rule that out, but it's still not helping.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I think Shelley is too modern. I think... No.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31I'll go down the middle.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I don't have a clue. I don't even have an inkling.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36So I'll just go down the middle and we'll go for Keats.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Kevin, do you know? Is it Keats? - It is Shelley.- It is Shelley.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44I suppose, I don't know much about that myself, but on that analysis,
0:19:44 > 0:19:48it is quite a modern thing to be saying, the necessity of atheism.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Shelley. OK, nothing there but you've still got a chance.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Kevin might not get this.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Kevin, in which of the arts was the Prague-based Josef Sudek
0:19:58 > 0:20:00a leading figure in the 20th century?
0:20:05 > 0:20:06I just don't know him,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10so I think on the basis that I'm slightly more likely to have heard of
0:20:10 > 0:20:15him if he was ballet or photography, I shall go for sculpture.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18OK, sculpture. Josef Sudek.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Photography, Kevin. Photography.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Never come across him.- Have you heard of him, Jenny?- Yes, I have.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Oh!- I knew it wasn't ballet, and I thought, "Sculpture, no."
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I thought he was photography. The 20th century, it's quite modern.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Photography.- OK, well, I'm afraid we don't pass them over.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Anyway, great news, you play on.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40But in Sudden Death, as you know now, three multiple-choice questions
0:20:40 > 0:20:42and it is all square, so we go to Sudden Death.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46So, Jenny, which British science-fiction author wrote
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- the novel The Long Dark Tea-Time Of the Soul?- No idea.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58No, I can't think. The only author I can think of that has come into my mind at the
0:20:58 > 0:21:01moment is Kingsley Amis, and he's nowhere near any science-fiction,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04but I'm going to have to go with that because I don't know. I honestly don't know.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- As I was saying, it's always better to guess than pass.- Yes, true.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You never know, and people have put in what
0:21:11 > 0:21:14they think are outrageous guesses and got them quite a few times.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- So you're saying Kingsley Amis? - I'm going to have to, yes.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- It is the only thing I can think of. - Well, it's not, having said all
0:21:20 > 0:21:22that. I hope I didn't give you any hope,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24but it's still better to guess than pass.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Kevin is about to tell me it's... - Douglas Adams.- Douglas Adams...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Yes.- ..who you would have recognised
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- if we'd given you a different one of his novels.- Possibly.- OK.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Well, still, Kevin has to get this.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Walt Whitman's 1865 poem O Captain! My Captain!
0:21:41 > 0:21:44was written in tribute to which political figure?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Who'd just been assassinated, Abraham Lincoln.- Yeah.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51No toying with that. It is the right answer, Kevin.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Abraham Lincoln. It means you've won the round. Bad luck, Jenny.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Got into Sudden Death there. Just couldn't identify Douglas Adams.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00It means no place for you in the final round. Kevin, you'll be there.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05All right. This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:22:12 > 0:22:13allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15And it's going to be all square in the final round,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19because Jenny and Simon from Twice Around The Lake, and Judith
0:22:19 > 0:22:23and Dave from the Eggheads, you have to leave the studio now, please.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Kevin, Andy and Glenn, I've noticed the interesting line-up
0:22:27 > 0:22:29there on the Egghead's side.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31If you do do it, it will be quite an achievement
0:22:31 > 0:22:34because we've got a kind of Mastermind trio there.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37We've got the international, reigning international
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Mastermind, the champion of champions, in the middle,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- and the Mastermind who got the highest ever score, Kevin?- Yes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- What was it?- 41.- 41. - DERMOT LAUGHS
0:22:47 > 0:22:48My goodness, me.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52That's the calibre of the guys you're playing, so quite a few scalps there.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55No pressure at all, but you knew that before you came on Eggheads.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Kevin, Andy and Glenn,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59you're playing to win Twice Around The Lake £2,000.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Chris, Pat and Kevin, Masterminds all, you're playing for
0:23:02 > 0:23:05something which money cannot buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10but this time the questions are all General Knowledge, and
0:23:10 > 0:23:12you are allowed to confer.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14So, Twice Around The Lake, the question is,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19And Kevin, Andy and Glenn, how do you want to play this round?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Do you want to go first or second?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23We'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Great stuff. Twice Around The Lake kicking off.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32And first question is this, and good luck with it,
0:23:32 > 0:23:37what is the usual pattern on modern gingham fabric?
0:23:40 > 0:23:41That's checked, Dermot.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Didn't need to check, did you? It is the right answer. Yes, checked.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53Eggheads, which computing device commonly uses ink-jet technology?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Ink-jet printer. That would be the printer.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Yes, you wouldn't want to get it on any of the other two, would you?
0:24:02 > 0:24:06It is the printer, well done. Right, both sides in.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Twice Around The Lake, second question.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12What term is used for members of the House of Lords who vote only
0:24:12 > 0:24:16when summoned by their whips, but make no other contribution?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Let's talk it out, do you know it?
0:24:23 > 0:24:24I don't know for sure,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27but my gut feel is that they're going to be backcountrymen.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Just because they're out in their back...
0:24:31 > 0:24:35It's the most logical answer. I think I know the term.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I can't think it is backwoodsmen.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41No, nor backwatermen, doesn't make much sense.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46- Backcountrymen, I think. Do you agree?- Yes. We OK with that?
0:24:46 > 0:24:51- Let's go for it.- OK. We'll go with backcountrymen, Dermot.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54OK, backcountrymen for members of the House of Lords
0:24:54 > 0:24:57who do nothing other than go through the lobbies.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- It's not backcountrymen. Do you know, Eggheads?- Backwoodsmen.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Backwoodsmen. The guys there, wasn't really high on their list.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08There we are. It's backwoodsmen, so you didn't identify that.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11See how the Eggheads do with their second question.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Eggheads, Lana Del Rey wrote the single Young And Beautiful
0:25:15 > 0:25:17for the soundtrack of which 2013 film?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24The Great Gatsby has the big soundtrack.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- I'm pretty sure she was involved with that.- Jay-Z oversaw it.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30All sorts of people, will.i.am. Various people contributed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33That's right. Lots of very current singers.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Pacific Rim is just all action, special effects.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Man Of Steel's much the same. It's the new Superman, isn't it?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Man Of Steel doesn't fit.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I think The Great Gatsby soundtrack album...
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- It is a big deal.- I'm sure she did something for The Great Gatsby.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- I don't associate it with the other two.- OK.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51We're going for The Great Gatsby.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57The Great Gatsby for Young And Beautiful by Lana Del Rey.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00It's correct, Eggheads. Yes, you have a lead.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03OK, you need to get this, then, Twice Around The Lake.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05And here's your question.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Corcovado National Park, home to howler monkeys,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13peccaries and scarlet macaws, is in which country?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- I think I know.- Do you?- I think it's Costa Rica.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- That's what I would have gone for. - I'm pretty sure it's Costa Rica.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It's not an island.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- I say we go for Costa Rica. Happy with that?- Yes.
0:26:30 > 0:26:36- We'd like to say Costa Rica.- Costa Rica for Corcovado National Park.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- It's the right answer.- Come on!
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Crucial to get that, so keeps those hopes alive.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44But the Eggheads,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47of course, have the advantage with getting their second one correct.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48For the game, Eggheads,
0:26:48 > 0:26:53which horse won the 1928 Grand National
0:26:53 > 0:26:55when it was the only horse not to fall?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Lottery was the very first winner.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Esha Ness was the winner of the race that never was in '93.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Tipperary, doesn't he hold the price record.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Tipperary Tim dates from around that time, from around the '20s.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Was he 100-1? He holds a record.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18There were a few 100-1s. He was one of them.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19Yes, Lottery was the first one.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Esha Ness was the '93 disaster, so Tipperary Tim.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26We're going for Tipperary Tim.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Tipperary Tim, the only horse not to fall in 1928.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32And the answer is Tipperary Tim. Eggheads, you've won!
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Well, bad luck, Twice Around The Lake.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Just got caught out with those House of Lords members that don't
0:27:43 > 0:27:45do much speaking. Bad luck on that.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48We'll never know how close it could have got if we'd
0:27:48 > 0:27:52gone into Sudden Death. But very, very even in those head-to-heads.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- We hope you've enjoyed yourselves, Twice Around The Lake.- It's been brilliant. Thank you.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58And you can run twice around the studios to work
0:27:58 > 0:28:01off the adrenaline you've worked up while you've been in the studio.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Best of luck with the running. Thank you for taking on the Eggheads.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06They've done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £2,000,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14and that means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15So, join us next time to see
0:28:15 > 0:28:19if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22£3,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
