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 > 0:00:19Question 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 awesome might of our quiz Goliaths
0:00:35 > 0:00:37today are Steve's Dummies.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Now, this team of friends are all performers who share
0:00:40 > 0:00:43a background in comedy, entertainment and singing.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm Steve, I'm 38, and I'm a... "ventriloquist".
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I'm Catherine, I'm 41 and I'm a magical entertainer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, my name's Drew, I'm 59, I'm a comedy impressionist.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Neil, I'm 38 and I'm a singer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Micky, I'm 28 plus VAT and I'm a comedian.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Well, hello there, Steve's Dummies.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07You are Steve. I know you're far from dummies.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08I'm a dummy, yeah.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Only work one at a time, so...
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And you look familiar, Steve. You been on any other programmes?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Yes, I was on the final of Britain's Got Talent 2013.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I remember it well.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Well, maybe a bit later in the show we might have a bit...
0:01:21 > 0:01:25I have a friend who's walking around. So, you may meet him.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27..a little bit of ventriloquism. OK, what about the quizzing?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- You've never quizzed together before?- No, we haven't.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32No, I've brought them together.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35The only time I get to see my friends is if I put a show together,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37so we put this together.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40We had a good quiz team last night, actually, in the hotel.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So we were having a bit of fun, weren't we?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45We'll be taking it very seriously.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- I can imagine.- We are on top form.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Putting the fear of God into the Eggheads there.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Let's play the game, then.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:53 > 0:01:55up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02So, Steve's Dummies, the Eggheads have won the last two games.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07That means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09And our first head-to-head.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11First round is on Film & Television.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Any one of you can play this. It is the opening round.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- My favourite subject. - Film & Television...is me.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I'm going to go with Film & Television, please.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23OK, Steve, got you in straight from the off.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Any Egghead is available, any of those five?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Christopher, please. Chris.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Now, why did I have an awful premonition
0:02:30 > 0:02:33that you were going to say that?
0:02:33 > 0:02:34I'm a ventriloquist.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- I thought you might be. - I put words in your mouth.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Well, we'll see what goes on in the Question Room,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42because that's where both of you are heading, please.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Steve and Chris.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Ah, so, Steve, I see you've got a little friend in there with you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- What's his name?- Two heads are better than one, aren't they?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- This is Arthur Lager.- Arthur.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57OK, what are your favourite films and television shows, Arthur?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Oh... "No, no, no. He's not talking to you.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03"I like watching sitcoms and soaps."
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Have you watched that recording of Britain's Got Talent
0:03:06 > 0:03:07that your mate was in?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09"I don't like looking at myself on telly,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13"but I like to see Amanda Holden now and again. Mmmm!
0:03:13 > 0:03:14"Yeah, yeah, I do.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17"I'll take one from the top and a consonant."
0:03:17 > 0:03:19It's not that show. "All right, OK." Sorry.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21LAUGHTER
0:03:21 > 0:03:24And do you know you bear an uncanny resemblance
0:03:24 > 0:03:26to our Chris here, Egghead Chris?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Are you related?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29"We're twins, yes.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31"Twins.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33"Except he's not sat on your knee, is he?"
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- No, no, no.- OK.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I don't know which one of you will answer.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40We will accept an answer from either or both of you, of course.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43We'll play the round now, it's Film & Television.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Steve and Arthur, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48We'd love to go first, please. "Me too."
0:03:52 > 0:03:55OK, Steve. First question, Film & Television, here it is.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59What is the title of the comedy film directed by Edgar Wright that
0:03:59 > 0:04:04stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and was released in July 2013?
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Is it...
0:04:10 > 0:04:11I don't know it. "I do!"
0:04:11 > 0:04:13"The World's End!" Is it? "Yeah." All right.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'll go with Arthur. The World's End, please.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18OK, The World's End.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21And we've got history in the making here on Eggheads. Conferring!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23In the head-to-head on Eggheads!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Maybe it helps, talking to yourself there.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29OK, it's the right answer, as you both know.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31"Thank you!" Thank God I've got Arthur.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35OK, the first question for you, Chris.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38What is the surname of the television medical expert
0:04:38 > 0:04:40known as Dr Hilary? Is it...
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It is Dr Hilary Jones MD.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48That's one to you. OK, Steve.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50First shown in June 2013,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54the BBC fly-on-the-wall documentary series
0:04:54 > 0:04:59The Call Centre was primarily set in a call centre near which city?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Really do need two heads for this one.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I didn't see the programme, unfortunately, so...
0:05:06 > 0:05:08"I don't know it, either."
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Well, I think we are going to go more central.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I'm going to go with Leeds.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18OK, Leeds. Both having a guess there. Didn't see it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21It would probably have stuck in your mind if you had.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23It's not Leeds. Do you know, Chris? Did you see it?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24I think it's Swansea.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27It is, Swansea. You obviously didn't see it either.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30It's still all square.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33But, of course, Steve and Arthur face one more question.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Chris, your second question.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Who replaced Angus Deayton as the host of the BBC panel show
0:05:38 > 0:05:40"Would I Lie to You?" in 2009?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Is it...
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Well, Robert Webb works with David Mitchell a lot,
0:05:47 > 0:05:48David Mitchell is on it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's not Robert Webb.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52And I don't think it is Jimmy Carr, either.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53I think it's Rob Brydon.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And you've got the right answer.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57It is correct.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59All right, you need this, then, Steve.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Who played the title role in the Quentin Tarantino film Jackie Brown?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Is it...
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I think we are going to go with...
0:06:14 > 0:06:17"I like Halle Berry." Do you?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18"I do." Is that the answer?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21"No, I just like her. Mmm!"
0:06:21 > 0:06:26I think we're going to go with Angela Bassett for this one, I think.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30OK, Angela Bassett, Quentin Tarantino film Jackie Brown.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Who played Jackie Brown?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Pam Grier. - Pam Grier, say the Eggheads.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37And they're right, I'm afraid.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You're wrong, Steve. Bad luck.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42"I knew I shouldn't have brought him."
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It means the round is over, I'm afraid.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46No place for you in the final round.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Chris is through.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, the first exchange is over and, unusually for Eggheads,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Steve's Dummies, the Challengers' team,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58have lost two brains from the final round.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Well, they did technically have six, I suppose.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02So, actually, only really lost one.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04And all the Eggheads are still there,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06three head-to-heads still to come
0:07:06 > 0:07:08and our next subject is Science.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Who'd like to play this one? Science.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13That's my best subject. It's my best subject.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16We're going to go with... Science, Catherine,
0:07:16 > 0:07:17weren't you good at science?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- No.- You're going to go with Science, no?- I'm good at that.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- You good at Science?- Sport for me.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Drew, Drew, can you go with Science?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I can go with that if you would like me to.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Drew, please.- It's going to be me.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Drew, OK. Micky, were you lying then?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- You said it's your favourite subject.- Yes, yes.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- I've been outvoted. - He says that to everything!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I've been outvoted. I've been outvoted again.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Never trust a comedian!
0:07:41 > 0:07:42LAUGHTER
0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's going to be Drew, then. Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- It can't be Chris. Any of the other four.- Yes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50They're all extremely good-looking.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54But I'm going to go for Judith on this one, please.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58OK, well, it's going to be Drew and Judith playing Science.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Would you both please go to the Question Room?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Right, Drew, a comedy impressionist.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07What are your favourite characters to impersonate, then?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Things like, "You know, Del Boy.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11"We all like him, don't we, you know what I mean?"
0:08:11 > 0:08:13"And Joe Pasquale, he's something that people like,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16"you know what I mean? La la la la?"
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Things like that. And you, but I wouldn't have the nerve to do that today.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23A comedy character. Very nice to be thought of.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25OK, let's play the game.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Would you like to go first or second, Drew?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I would like to go first, please.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36OK, Drew, first question for you on Science. Here you go.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38The item of laboratory equipment, the Bunsen burner,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41is typically powered by what?
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Well, I don't want to appear as though I don't understand
0:08:49 > 0:08:52the question, as though I'm "Mr Bean answering.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55"Aw, very nice indeed. Oh!"
0:08:55 > 0:08:57So, I'll answer as myself.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I don't think methylated spirits, that's a liquid.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Sunlight doesn't sound right.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I'm going to go from my memory from school and say gas.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Yeah. And a lot of school students watching that going,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12"Yeah, of course! It's gas!"
0:09:12 > 0:09:14It is the right answer.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17All right. And Judith, your first question.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20What word is often used to describe the effects of a
0:09:20 > 0:09:24dramatic overheating at the core of a nuclear reactor?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I think that might be meltdown.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32You would be right to think that, yes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It's the right answer. OK, all square.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Drew, NASA's NEEMO project,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41which provides participants with an experience similar to
0:09:41 > 0:09:43space exploration, takes place
0:09:43 > 0:09:46in a research station in what type of environment?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55OK. Well, I think I may have to
0:09:55 > 0:09:58put on my really Egghead.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01"And do this as Homer Simpson.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03"Ooh, I like eggs! Eggs and doughnuts."
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I think Homer would probably
0:10:06 > 0:10:09go up a tree, but I'm not going to go there.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11And an igloo, nah, not so sure.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I'm going with the NEEMO as underwater.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Yeah, there's so many clues there, aren't there?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18With Nemo, obviously.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21And just damn logic!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I mean, up a tree!
0:10:23 > 0:10:24If it was a very tall tree,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27a redwood or something might be getting a bit closer to
0:10:27 > 0:10:28a different atmosphere.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It is, of course, underwater. Well worked out, Drew.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I think even Homer would have got that one.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36OK, Judith.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39The Isaac Newton Medal is a prize awarded by
0:10:39 > 0:10:41which scientific association?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Oh, goodness.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I'm trying to think of what Isaac Newton...
0:10:51 > 0:10:53He wasn't a chemist, was he?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57I think it must be the Institute of Physics.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00That's the one. It's the right answer, yes.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03And third question apiece, Drew.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07The Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes
0:11:07 > 0:11:10commonly known as MAGIC,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12are located on which island?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18AS ALAN CARR: "Oh, I'm going to have to be a chatty man here,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21"and talk my way through this one! Yeah!"
0:11:21 > 0:11:26I'm looking at something quite high,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30maybe where there's more open sky.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32They're all very similar.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I... My gut feeling...
0:11:37 > 0:11:40..is that this is La Palma.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42OK, La Palma.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's the right answer, Drew!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47You worked it out. We'll get some more on this from the Eggheads.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Was Drew going the right way there,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- looking for a bit of height and some clear skies?- Yeah.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56There are quite a few major telescopes based in the Canaries.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00OK. Judith, your third question to try to stay in it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Bones in which area of the body
0:12:03 > 0:12:06are affected by Blount's disease?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Oh, my goodness. I'm not sure.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I have heard of it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I can't remember the symptoms, or anything.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20So I'm going to have to guess.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm going to say wrist.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Wrist for Blount's disease.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Any of you other Eggheads heard of it?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Heard of it, yes. I think she's right.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32OK, they're tending in your direction, Judith.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35It's wrong. It would have been good if it was in the final round.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36It's the lower leg.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38That's the one that I'd have least gone for.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Oh, OK, that's honest of you to admit.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Even if I'd given you two goes, you would have been out.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46LAUGHTER
0:12:46 > 0:12:48So, Drew, congratulations, Drew
0:12:48 > 0:12:50and your many personalities.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52You're through to the final round.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57That round's levelled it up.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01As it stands, both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Round three, our next subject, it's Arts & Books.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06There are three of you left for this one.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Is it going to be Catherine, Neil or Micky?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- No, no, no.- We want to get rid of... - I'm good at Arts & Books.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I'm good at Arts & Books.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17STEVE: What do you think? Arts & Books? Arts? Theatre?
0:13:17 > 0:13:18NEIL: I'll do it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20STEVE: We'll go with Neil, please.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23OK, Neil, right. We've got you from the Challengers.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Who do you want to take on from the Eggheads?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Barry, CJ or Kevin?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29CJ?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31We'll go CJ, please, Dermot.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32OK. CJ.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Let's have Neil and CJ straight into the Question Room, please.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Neil, you're playing Arts & Books.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Do you want to go first or second?
0:13:40 > 0:13:41First, please, Dermot.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Here we go, then, Neil. Best of luck.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Which journalist and presenter wrote A History of the World,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52which was first published in 2012?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I don't think it will be Melvyn Bragg.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I'm not too sure of the answer.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I would say Andrew Marr.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Andrew Marr for A History of the World.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And you're right! Well done.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Great start.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14CJ, which fictional literary detective lives and works
0:14:14 > 0:14:16in the town of Ystad
0:14:16 > 0:14:18in the region of Skane?
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- Can you just spell the two names for me, please?- Yeah.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Ystad is Y-S-T-A-D.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31In the region of Skane
0:14:31 > 0:14:36is S-K-A - with something weird above it - N-E.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39They both sound suspiciously Scandinavian to me,
0:14:39 > 0:14:40so I will try Kurt Wallander.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42OK, Kurt Wallander.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Sarah Lund would fit that analysis, but you got it.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47It's the right answer. Well done.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Arts & Books, Neil, here you go.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Second question.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Who directed the stage version of
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
0:14:55 > 0:14:57which debuted in the West End in 2013?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I've not seen the show.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06It's definitely not Trevor Nunn.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08It's between Jonathan Miller and Sam Mendes.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11And I'm going to go with Sam Mendes.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Sam Mendes is the right answer.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Very good work, Neil.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Two to you.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19And CJ's second question.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23The novel Lord Of The Flies takes place on an island in which ocean?
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Do you know, I don't know.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I have read the book, a long time ago,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33but I've no idea where it's set.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36For some reason, I don't think it's Atlantic.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39So, do we go with the quizzer's habitual answer of Pacific,
0:15:39 > 0:15:43or do I plump for Indian?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- I've got no idea. I'll try Pacific.- OK, Pacific.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Why is that the quizzer's go to? Because it's so big?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Because it's so massive.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52OK. It is the right answer.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Let's not beat around the bush. Correct, then. Two-all.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57The third question, Neil.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59The American William Forsythe,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02who was born in 1949,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05is a leading figure in which area of the arts?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I haven't...
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I've never heard of them.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I'm going to take a stab at photography.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19OK, photography. William Forsythe a photographer. CJ, do you know?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I'm not sure, but I would have gone for dance.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24OK, dance is the answer we were looking for.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Dance it is, Neil, not photography.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29But questions aren't passed over, so that doesn't win CJ the round.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31A correct answer here will, though.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34CJ, in June 2013,
0:16:34 > 0:16:38who succeeded Julia Donaldson as the Children's Laureate?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45It was a woman.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I think it's Veronica Roth.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Veronica Roth, you think.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58There's a bit of exhaling going on on the Eggheads' side here.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59What do you think?
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Malorie Blackman.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02It's Malorie Blackman, CJ.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05OK, well, it's all square still.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09No-one getting anything there on their third question.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So we go to Sudden Death and, Neil, just to underline it,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I'm sure you know the rules, but it means you won't be seeing
0:17:15 > 0:17:18any more options and your question is this.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22In which country was the novelist Margaret Atwood born?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Um... I'll go for Belgium.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26OK, Belgium.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29No, it's not. CJ?
0:17:29 > 0:17:30India.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- No.- Canada.- Canada!
0:17:34 > 0:17:37OK. Right, CJ, the term polyptych
0:17:37 > 0:17:40is normally used to describe
0:17:40 > 0:17:43an altarpiece with a minimum of how many panels?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Well, I haven't heard the word, but you've got diptychs
0:17:46 > 0:17:48and triptychs, which are two and three,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51so let's assume a polyptych is more than three.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53So four.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Ah, you've worked it out, you Egghead!
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It's the right answer, CJ.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Just clinging to the wreckage of the round,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03you've floated to safety. Bad luck, Neil.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05It means you won't be in the final round.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Well, that round could have gone either way,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13but it fell the Eggheads' way, which means Steve's Dummies have
0:18:13 > 0:18:15now lost two brains from the final round.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16The Eggheads have lost one.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20And our next subject, fourth round, is Politics.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Who'd like to play this one?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24There's only two of you eligible.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It's Catherine or Micky.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Catherine, yeah.- OK.- Politics, yes?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31We're going to go with Catherine, please.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32OK, Catherine.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35And choose from the remaining two Eggheads, Barry or Kevin.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I'm going to go with Barry.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41OK, let's have Catherine and Barry
0:18:41 > 0:18:43together into the Question Room, please.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47So, Catherine, a magician with a comedic twist.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Is there anyone you model yourself on?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52One of my heroes was Tommy Cooper.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Yeah, makes sense, doesn't it?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56So, you're a comedian with rubbish jokes?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Something like that!
0:18:58 > 0:18:59LAUGHTER
0:18:59 > 0:19:02OK, let's see if you can make Barry disappear in the final round.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- I'll try!- Catherine, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I'd like to go first, please.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12OK, best of luck. It is Politics, the first question.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Who directed the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20for several decades until 1972?
0:19:24 > 0:19:29I don't know why, but I'm being drawn to J Edgar Hoover.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Thomas Edison looks also interesting,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36but Benjamin Franklin...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41No, I'm going to go with J Edgar Hoover.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43J Edgar Hoover.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It's the right answer. Yes, indeed.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I suppose, Barry, could have been done another way,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50in that the others were very dead.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Indeed.- OK, Barry.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Which creature is depicted on the flag of the President
0:19:57 > 0:19:59of the United States?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Well, the elephant and the donkey
0:20:02 > 0:20:05are the symbols of the two American parties,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07the Republicans and the Democrats -
0:20:07 > 0:20:10both drawn, incidentally, by the same cartoonist, Thomas Nast.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13On the flag of the President of the United States
0:20:13 > 0:20:15is the American symbol, which is the eagle.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17The eagle is correct, and a very full answer,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19very interesting answer - thank you, Barry.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21All square. Catherine...
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Which Labour MP co-wrote the book Dial M For Murdoch
0:20:25 > 0:20:28about the relationship between News International
0:20:28 > 0:20:30and British politicians and police?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37OK. Um...
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I remember looking at that book,
0:20:41 > 0:20:46and I don't remember seeing Ed Balls.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Um...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And...um...
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I can't see Tom Watson, no.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I'm going to go for Douglas Alexander.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Douglas Alexander, Dial M For Murdoch.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02It's not, it's incorrect, Catherine.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Do you know, Barry?
0:21:03 > 0:21:04It's Tom Watson.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- It is Tom Watson.- Oh!
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Long campaigned on issues surrounding phone hacking
0:21:09 > 0:21:10and other issues.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13OK - your second question, Barry.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Which Conservative MP became Secretary of State
0:21:16 > 0:21:19for Northern Ireland in September 2012?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Oh, dear - I'm going to be in trouble over this,
0:21:25 > 0:21:29because I'm shortly to be acquiring some Northern Irish family.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- And I don't know this. - You going out to buy some, Barry?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36No - my son's marrying into a Northern Irish family.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Who is it? Uh...
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- I shall go for Theresa Villiers, with no confidence whatsoever.- OK.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Why so? Because she's in the middle?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50The name rings a vague bell at the back of my mind.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Oh, dear...you've got it right!
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- Oh! Phew!- The way of the Eggheads - a vague inkling.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02OK, you've got two, which means you need to get this, Catherine.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Jose Mujica became the president
0:22:04 > 0:22:09of which South American country in 2010?
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Uh...I'm not entirely sure. Um...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I'm going to...I'm drawn towards Brazil.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27I don't recall Uruguay or Ecuador. I'm going to go Brazil.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28OK. Brazil.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Jose Mujica became president of...
0:22:32 > 0:22:33..Uruguay.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I'm sorry, it's the wrong answer.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36OK, it is Uruguay,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38which means the round's over.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Bad luck, Catherine, you won't be in the final round.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Barry will be.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Will you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48And so this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:54 > 0:22:56won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Steve, Catherine and Neil from Steve's Dummies
0:22:58 > 0:23:00and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02could you leave the studio now, please?
0:23:03 > 0:23:07So, Drew and Micky, you're playing to win Steve's Dummies £3,000.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Kevin, CJ, Barry and Chris, you're playing for something
0:23:10 > 0:23:14which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19This time, the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You're allowed to confer. So, Steve's Dummies,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Drew and Micky, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- First.- First, please, Dermot.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Right, unanimity over that decision.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Let's see if it stays that way as you go through the questions.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39General knowledge, best of luck.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42See if you can beat the Eggheads. Here's your first question.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45In watercraft, what is the general term
0:23:45 > 0:23:49for a vessel with two parallel hulls of similar shape and length?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- I'd say catamaran.- Before it came out, I thought catamaran.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Definitely. - I wouldn't say anything else.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It's catamaran, Dermot.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00OK, straight in with catamaran,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02and the right answer.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05One to Steve's Dummies, there.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Eggheads, your first question.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09In 2002, which organisation took over the running
0:24:09 > 0:24:12of Britain's railway infrastructure?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16That would be Network Rail!
0:24:16 > 0:24:18LAUGHTER
0:24:18 > 0:24:22That was - maybe not surprisingly - Network Rail.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Yeah, toughie, that one, wasn't it(?)
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Got you both off the mark, there.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Second question, then, for Steve's Dummies.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33In the summer of 1999,
0:24:33 > 0:24:39which musician hosted the first of his white tie and tiara balls?
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- Any idea?- I would go for Elton John.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I can't see Sting or Mick Jagger having tiaras.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51MICKY LAUGHS
0:24:51 > 0:24:56Basically, that's what I'd go for. What are you thinking?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Mick Jagger, I don't...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00He wasn't changing what he was doing.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Sting has gone a little way away from the music, 1999...
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- He's the tiara man. - It's got to be Elton John.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- It's got to be Elton John, Dermot. - OK - got to be Elton John?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13It is, you're right - white tie and tiara balls.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16OK, you've got two. Eggheads, your second question.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19The Mark H McCormack medal is awarded annually
0:25:19 > 0:25:23to the leading male and female amateurs in which sport?
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Golf? - He was a sports agent, wasn't he?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31He had a lot to do with tennis and golf.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36I don't know for sure, but I think the logical answer is golf. OK?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Fine, yeah.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41I think Mark McCormack, he was very big in sports agency,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44he was involved with things like tennis, but also golf.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Not aware of him being involved with the other two,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48so we'll go for golf.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51It's correct, Eggheads, yes.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52It is golf.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55You're doing well, guys, you're edging closer,
0:25:55 > 0:25:56potentially, to the money.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Third question, really crucial.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Let's see if you can get this and have a shot at the money.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07In the UK, Armed Forces Day is usually observed
0:26:07 > 0:26:09on the last Saturday in which month?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Armed Forces Day...- I don't know. - I'm trying to...
