0:00:04 > 0:00:05These people are amongst
0:00:05 > 0:00:08the 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 > 0:00:19The question is... Can they be beat?
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the 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 > 0:00:37And challenging our resident quiz champions today are the Hound Dogs.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team of colleagues all work for a charity which helps train
0:00:40 > 0:00:44assistance dogs that help people with physical disabilities.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Andy, I'm 48, and I'm a chief executive.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Adele, I'm 52, and I'm a PA.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Dale, I'm 29, I'm a community fundraiser.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Wendy, I'm 53, and I'm a domestic manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Jim, I'm 62, and I'm a volunteer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Welcome, Hound Dogs. Tell me about the charity's work.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Sounds like some great stuff. A lot of people know about guide dogs,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11but these dogs do something different.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13We're a much smaller charity called Canine Partners
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and we're helping people with physical disabilities.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Most of them use wheelchairs.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20They all have extreme levels of disability
0:01:20 > 0:01:22and can't do everyday things like open and close doors,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25help themselves get undressed,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28pick up items from all sorts of inaccessible places,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and we're able to train dogs to do all of those things.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35And a lot more besides, as well as giving lots of companionship
0:01:35 > 0:01:37and getting a routine back into people's lives,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39so it's really worthwhile.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Interesting what you say there about the companionship,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44cos it's not just about what the dogs can do, is it?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46There's a bond that you form with a dog, any dog.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48It is. It's partly the bond
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and it's also partly that feeling of being responsible for another animal.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Lots of our people have lost the ability to do much for themselves,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58so now you're responsible for looking after this dog,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01loving it, grooming it, walking it, training it,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and that gives you an impetus in life.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08A new motivation that can be a real kick-start to new possibilities.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Great to hear about it. Should we play the game?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- OK.- Let's give it to go, shall we? Try and beat the Eggheads.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Because every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:16 > 0:02:17for our Challengers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So, Hound Dogs, the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31And let's start the quiz then and our opening round is going to be
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Film & Television.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35So, who from the Hound Dogs would like to play this one?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Film and television...
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I'm wondering if it should be Jim.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Save Wendy in case we need...
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- We need her later.- ..one of her other specialities, yeah?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- That's fine.- We're going to nominate Jim for this one.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- All right, Jim, happy about that? - Absolutely.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54OK, and who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56You have the advantage of starting it all off
0:02:56 > 0:02:58by choosing any of the Eggheads you'd like.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I think I might go for Pat.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Happy about that? Pat doesn't have a choice, of course, so...
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Let's have you both into the answer room, please.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Pat from the Eggheads and Jim from the Hound Dogs.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Jim, it's Film & TV. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:14 > 0:03:15First, please.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20OK, best of luck, Jim. First question is this...
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Which TV programme featured characters called
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Hunter, Saracen, and Trojan?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I'll give you a clue, it's not Eggheads.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I'm fairly glad about the choices
0:03:33 > 0:03:35because I do watch CBeebies quite a lot.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41So I'm going to rule out Teletubbies and rule out Fraggle Rock.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I think that must just be Gladiators.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46OK, Gladiators is correct.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49And you better tell us about your CBeebies viewing.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Presumably it's with someone else.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I intended to watch BBC THREE but I just turned the wrong channel.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56DERMOT LAUGHS
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Yeah, we believe you. OK, Jim, you've got one.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Right, Pat, in 2013 which singer made a guest appearance
0:04:04 > 0:04:08in Downton Abbey playing the soprano Dame Nellie Melba?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I think that was Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I think she brought her two dogs along to the shoot with her.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I think I remember reading about her preparations so, Kiri Te Kanawa.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24OK, a bit of extra there from Pat.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27It is Kiri Te Kanawa. It's the right answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And Nellie Melba, is that where we get the desert from?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Certainly, yes. And Melba toast.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Ah, they were some of her favourites, where they?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37They were created by, I think it was Escoffier,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40who created it for her and named it after her.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43All right, OK. More information from Pat there
0:04:43 > 0:04:45about Nellie Melba and Kiri Te Kanawa.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47OK, second question for each of you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Jim, who wrote the film About Time,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53released in the UK in September 2013?
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Well, quite weirdly, I very recently watched the film About Time.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I'm desperately trying to remember what it said on the end credits.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08The answer is Richard Curtis.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It is Richard Curtis. Yes, well done.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14OK.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Pat, in 2013, who presented the television game show
0:05:18 > 0:05:19I Love My Country?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, this one has passed me by. I don't think I've seen it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I'm going to have to guess
0:05:30 > 0:05:32because I haven't seen the programme or read about it.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Just because Clare Balding had something of an explosion of work
0:05:37 > 0:05:41after she did...had a very good Olympics, I'll go for Clare Balding.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Agonies for the other Eggheads?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Eggheads in the studio?- Gabby Logan.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- It's Gabby Logan, Pat.- Oh. Didn't see it.- Not Clare Balding.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Didn't see it so it's... Oh, it's going to struggle.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59And it means it's good news as it reads at the moment for you, Jim.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01You just need this to get into the final round.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05The 1970s television series, Justice,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09starred which actress as the barrister Harriet Peterson?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Right, this is going to have to be a complete guess.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I don't remember the programme at all.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Um...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So I'm going to go for a bit of eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And I'm going to say Sylvia Syms.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33It's not Sylvia Syms. So, an incorrect answer.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Do the eggheads in the studio know? - Margaret Lockwood.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It's Margaret Lockwood.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Margaret Lockwood there, so still might get through though.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Pat needs to get this.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Pat, who were supposed to be the best man at the wedding
0:06:46 > 0:06:49of the famous broadcaster, Alistair Cooke, in 1934,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51but failed to turn up on the day?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Well, in 1934 there was no problem with the dates certainly for
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Chaplain or Hemingway. They were both alive.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05I'm reduced to guessing one more time.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10This isn't a long-term strategy. I'll go for Charlie Chaplin.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15A guess at Charlie Chaplin. Guessed last time and got it wrong.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Got it right this time, though, it is Charlie Chaplin.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20OK, maybe something in there.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24OK, that means it's all square after three questions each.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Both failed on one so we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Jim, we take away the options, it's a lot harder.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33The television series shown in Britain in 2013
0:07:33 > 0:07:38under the title The Returned was made in which country?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Again, never seen that particular programme,
0:07:42 > 0:07:43so it'll be a complete guess.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I've only got a couple of hundred countries to choose from.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50So, um... Let's try Canada.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Canada for The Returned.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It's not Canada. Any ideas, Pat? Just out of interest.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- I think it's France. - It is France. Yeah, France.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03OK, well, a chance for you, then, Pat, to win the round.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Which digital television channel launched in 2002
0:08:06 > 0:08:09with the slogan, "Everybody needs a place to think"?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11A place to think...
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Oh, they are too numerous to mention.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18BBC FOUR is certainly...
0:08:18 > 0:08:22BBC THREE is popular culture, BBC FOUR is quite cerebral.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27It might be right, date wise. I'll go for BBC FOUR.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Yeah, you've work it out well.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32You thought that through and got the right answer, BBC FOUR,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34which means, Pat, you're through.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36At one point staring defeat in the face,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39but turned it around and you will be in the final round
0:08:39 > 0:08:41depriving Jim of a place.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Well, in the opening round the Hound Dogs have lost one brain.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49The Eggheads are all there.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52And our second round, I can announce, is Politics.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Who'd like to play this one?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Well, clearly not you, Adele.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Or maybe it is you.- No, it's not. - We wouldn't ask you for that.
0:09:00 > 0:09:06- I think, um...- Jim.- Yeah, Jim. Have another go, Jim. No, Jim, you can't.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11You've probably gathered that's not gone down incredibly well with us.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13So I'm going to sacrifice myself and put myself forward,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15not because I know anything about it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Oh, Andy.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Oh, who...- Go in there with some hope. Who do you want to choose?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Just remember, it cannot be Pat.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Go with your feeling. - Should I go for CJ?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- Yep.- Yep.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- I'm going to go for CJ. - CJ, all right.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Andy and CJ, into the Question Room now, please.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Andy, it's politics. You said you didn't like it. You never know.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Frankly, I'd like to have one of my dogs come in
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and answer the questions cos I think it might do a lot better.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45I'll go first.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51OK, you've got the first question coming your way, Andy.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55What was the name of the tax that was levied at various rates
0:09:55 > 0:10:00on certain goods until 1973 when it was replaced by VAT?
0:10:04 > 0:10:11Um, now this is going back a bit... a little bit further than I'd like.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13But, uh...
0:10:13 > 0:10:18I don't think Saver Tax or Trader Tax ring any bells at all.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I'm not saying that the other one does.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I will go with Purchase Tax.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28OK, yeah, it does go back a bit to Britain joining the Common Market
0:10:28 > 0:10:30and VAT taking over from...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Purchase Tax, C.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35One to you. Well done.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37OK, CJ.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Which organisation founded in 1961 was an association of countries
0:10:41 > 0:10:43whose members did not ally themselves
0:10:43 > 0:10:45with either of the world's superpowers?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I think that's the Non-Aligned Movement.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56You'd be right. It is the Non-Aligned Movement. Well done.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00And back to you, Andy, for the second correct answer
0:11:00 > 0:11:02we're going to get from you. I know.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Here it is - which fictional schoolboy's name
0:11:04 > 0:11:07has been used as a nickname for David Cameron?
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Uh...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Sadly that's not coming straight to me either.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Bunter, I think, is unlikely.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Weasley, I just think it's got
0:11:23 > 0:11:27so many associations with the Weasley family and Harry Potter,
0:11:27 > 0:11:32and I think that would be stronger than with David Cameron.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34So...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37It's a bit of a risk cos I'm going for the right-hand side again
0:11:37 > 0:11:42like I did last time, but it just feels...gut feeling, Flashman.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44That's a nickname used by his opponents. Yep, Flashman.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Two out of two, Andy.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Not bad for someone who doesn't like the subject. OK.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54CJ, whose first speech to the nation as Prime Minister contained
0:11:54 > 0:11:56the phrase, "Be men of valour"?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06OK, this one I really don't know.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I'll discount Balfour, anyway.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It makes sense that it would be a war speech.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Well, simply on the fact that he was more bombastic
0:12:19 > 0:12:23and more determined... I don't know but I'll try Churchill.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25You're right. Yeah, Winston Churchill.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28OK, well, it's all square. Doing really well, Andy.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Let's see if you can get this and really put CJ under some pressure.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Enda Kenny, who became Prime Minister of the Republic of Ireland
0:12:35 > 0:12:38in 2011, is a member of which party?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Right, so this is where we really needed someone
0:12:45 > 0:12:48who knew something about politics.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Um...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53These are not meaning a lot to me
0:12:53 > 0:12:57and I think I'm going to have to take a complete guess.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm going to go for Fianna Fail, the one on the right.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04OK, on the right again, Fianna Fail.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05It's not, no. Unlucky.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08And it's not Labour, it's Fine Gael.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Enda Kenny's party. OK, well, bad luck.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17It's not over. CJ needs to get this right if he's going to remove you.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20In June 2013, in order to hear the views
0:13:20 > 0:13:22of ordinary people in his country,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25the Norwegian Prime Minister worked incognito as what?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32He was supposed to be incognito but it was remarkable the number of times
0:13:32 > 0:13:35he actually reveals his identity to the people he was working with.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39All of his opponents actually dismissed it as a publicity stunt.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41He was a taxi driver.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44OK. It is the right answer. You clearly know that, CJ.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Taxi driver is correct, which means bad luck.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49but, Andy, you know, good performance.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- You were only beaten three-two there.- Close.- Yeah, it was close.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54That means he won't be playing in the final round, Andy.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00OK, well, that was bad luck for Andy. As it stands, the Hound Dogs
0:14:00 > 0:14:02have lost two brains from the final round.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04The Eggheads haven't lost any yet.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Let's see if we can get rid of one of them, shall we?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08On Food & Drink, our third category today.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Who wants to play this? Food & Drink.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Food & Drink. Well, we're feeling reasonably confident...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17No, don't!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- That'll be Wendy.- OK, Wendy. You know, it's all right.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21We'll ratchet down the enthusiasm.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26OK, Wendy, choose an Egghead - Kevin, Dave, or Judith.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- I think Dave might be weaker. - OK. Go for Dave, then?- Yep.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- OK, can I take on Dave, please? - Yes, you can.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37OK, Wendy and Dave for this one, Food & Drink.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Into the Question Room, please.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Now, Wendy, we like our statistics on Eggheads
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and David has 100% record on Food & Drink.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Did you know that, Dave? - Yes, I did. And I...
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Tell us why.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Well, I've only played it once.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Yeah, so don't be too scared, Wendy. - OK.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59OK, it's Food & Drink. Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I'd like to go first, please.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06All right, let's get on with it. Wendy, good luck.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Which of these is a technique for preparing mussels
0:15:10 > 0:15:12to be cooked and eaten?
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Erm, having spent quite a few years working in a French restaurant...
0:15:21 > 0:15:27- Ahh...- I think... I'm pretty sure that it is de-bearding.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32De-bearding is correct. Thank the stars for that, isn't it?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34One there to Wendy.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Dave, what's the general term for items such as pita, matzo and aarti?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I'd go flatbread.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yes, flatbread is correct. Well done, Dave.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Wendy, what flavour is the liqueur triple sec?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I'm pretty sure that it's not...
0:16:00 > 0:16:02aniseed
0:16:02 > 0:16:07and I don't think that it's coffee, so...
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I'm going to have to go with orange.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14And you've got it. Yes, well done. Orange.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19And, Dave, pieces of pappardelle pasta are what shape?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Can you just spell 'pappardelle', please?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Yeah, pappardelle. P-a-p-p-a-r-d-e-l-l-e.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32I've got no idea. Erm...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34But I'm going to...
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I don't like the look of ribbons or thimbles. I'm going to go bows.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- It's ribbons, Dave.- OK. - Pappardelle ribbons. Well.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Wendy, you're leading.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47And you silence Dave altogether if you get this.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49We won't hear from him again.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Stuffat tal-Fenek, a rabbit stew,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55is a traditional dish of which Mediterranean island?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02OK. This is going to be a pure stab in the dark
0:17:02 > 0:17:06and the only reason I can give you for choosing it is
0:17:06 > 0:17:12that I know some Maltese people who used to breed rabbits for eating.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15So, I am going to have to go with Malta.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Stuffat tal-Fenek, a rabbit stew is actually...
0:17:22 > 0:17:23from Malta. It's correct.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Well done, Wendy. That's a good little link...
0:17:29 > 0:17:31you know, through your Maltese friends.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33That's giving you a place in the final round.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36And, as I say, silenced Dave. Don't need to put another question to him.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Would you both please come back and join the teams?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Well, Wendy hopping through into the final round.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46See what I did there, Wendy? You like that?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48As it stands, the Hound Dogs have lost those two brains
0:17:48 > 0:17:51from the final round, but the Eggheads have now lost one
0:17:51 > 0:17:53and it could be all square in the final round
0:17:53 > 0:17:56depending on the outcome of our last head-to-head.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57This one is Geography.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Two of you remain able to play this, Adele or Dale.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- I think that's probably going to be you Dale. Is that...- Yep.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09We're going to pick Dale for this one.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13OK, Dale, who would you like to choose from the Eggheads, then?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Go for Judith.- I think we'll take Judith, yeah?- Yeah, Judith.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Give it a go. Do your best.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'll take on Judith, please.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21OK, let's have Dale and Judith then
0:18:21 > 0:18:24into the Question Room to play Geography.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27OK, let's get on with this round.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- Dale, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34OK, Geography.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Dale, which long-distance path links Southport
0:18:38 > 0:18:42and Liverpool in the west to Hull and Hornsea in the east?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Ooh, OK. Erm...
0:18:51 > 0:18:55The Downs, I don't think it's that one.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Ooh, I really don't know.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Is it 'the magic right', it's called when you go down the right?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- I'll try Trans Pennine Trail.- OK. That's Judith's 'magic right'.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- That's my trick.- Yeah, you're not allowed to do that. That's Judith's.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Stole your line.- You are allowed if it's the right answer.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Yes, it's correct, Trans Pennine Trail. OK.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Judith, how many US states have a border with Mexico?
0:19:21 > 0:19:26Well, there's California. So, that's one. New Mexico.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I would have said two, but, erm... I'm not sure four.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I think I'm going to say one.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Just California.- OK.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- No, it's not one, so therefore, it is four.- It's four?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- And the other Eggheads...- California and New Mexico.- Texas.- Texas?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44There's a way to remember it from west to east.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48It's 'CANT', California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- CJ's given us a mnemonic. - That's terrible.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Well, it's not. It's good for Dale. - It's good for Dale.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57OK, Dale, will you streak into two-nil lead?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01The bridge of the Slovak National Uprising crosses which river?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Slovak. Slovakia, I guess.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Erm, which I would assume
0:20:08 > 0:20:11it's probably not the Seine or the Danube.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14So, I'll go for Volga, please.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17No. It is... Judith, you'll know?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Danube.- The Danube, yes.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23So, you got the Slovak right, but wrong river. Volga, Russian. OK.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Judith, Amur Highway is a 2,100 kilometres
0:20:29 > 0:20:32stretch of road in which country?
0:20:35 > 0:20:36The Indian...
0:20:36 > 0:20:40The famous Indian road is the Great Trunk Road, isn't it?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Oh, dear. I have completely lost my nerve now.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Ha! Help. I'm going to say Russia.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Well, your nerve's steadying.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52It's the right answer. You got it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Thank goodness for that.- OK.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Well, it's all square and everything to play for.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Dale, Hayastan is an alternative name for which country?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Hayastan, H-a-y-a-s-t-a-n.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I have absolutely no idea. Erm...
0:21:13 > 0:21:18I will discount Azerbaijan for absolutely no apparent reason.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Erm, I will go with Albania.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Gut instinct.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Gut instinct. Hayastan.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's Armenia.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Armenia.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31So, you've got a chance to win the round, Judith, here.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34In terms of area, what is the largest mainland region of Italy?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Well, Calabria is down the bottom. It's...it's the toe.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Lazio is sort of a round Rome, isn't it?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Erm, I have a feeling its Piedmont
0:21:46 > 0:21:49because that is... the 'foot of the mountains'.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52It's a plain. So, I think it's Piedmont.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Well, we'll ask CJ cos in a previous game of Eggheads
0:21:55 > 0:21:58he seemed to know Italian geography really well.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I think it is Piedmont cos I've just seen Pat nodding.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- DERMOT LAUGHS - Good technique.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05You're right, Judith.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Yes, you got it and you are in the final round, then.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Two-one to you. No place in the final round, Dale.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Time for the final round, which is - as always - General Knowledge,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24but I'm afraid those of you who lost the head to heads won't be
0:22:24 > 0:22:27allowed to take part in this round. So, Andy, Dale and Jim
0:22:27 > 0:22:30from the Hound Dogs and Dave from the Eggheads,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32would you leave the studio, please?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38So, Adele and Wendy, you're playing to win the Hound Dogs £3,000.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Judith, Pat and CJ, you're playing
0:22:40 > 0:22:42for something which money cannot buy...
0:22:42 > 0:22:44the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48The questions are all General Knowledge
0:22:48 > 0:22:50and you are allowed to confer in this round.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52That's why Wendy's victory was so important.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54So, Hound Dogs, the question is
0:22:54 > 0:22:57are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59And Adele and Wendy, what do you want to do in this round?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- Do you want to go first or second? - We'll go first, please.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Let's see if you can do it. Good luck, Adele and Wendy.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08First question.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Someone with the 'gift of the gab' is particularly good at doing what?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I think we...can do all those, can't we?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- We can do all of those, yeah. - You can certainly do the baking.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- And you can do the talking. - I can do the dancing.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- But we can both do the talking.- Yeah. - So, we're going to go with...
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- I think talking.- Talking.- Yeah.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I think we're going to go with talking, please.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33OK. You have to really, don't you after that?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36At least, it's the right answer. Yes, 'the gift of the gab'.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41OK. Eggheads, which of these French phrases refers to something
0:23:41 > 0:23:44which is required by etiquette or current fashion?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- De rigueur, yeah?- De rigueur.- Yeah?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- De rigueur.- De rigueur...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54is correct.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Well done, Eggheads. OK.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Adele and Wendy, what type of creature
0:24:00 > 0:24:03features on the badge of the Lamborghini Motor Company?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11A pity you can't get out and have a look at Kevin's car.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14It's got to be something fairly fast and furious,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17so I don't think it's going to be a cockerel particularly.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Lamborghini...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Goats... No, I don't think so.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24A bit stubborn and not wanting to go very far either,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- but a bull I would think is...- Yeah, I would go with you.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29- Yep.- Go with bull.- OK.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31We're going to go with bull.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Bull for the Lamborghini.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35It is the right answer. Well done, bull.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Two-one to the Hound Dogs,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41but you haven't faced your second question, Eggheads. Here it is.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Pienaar's Politics and Up All Night
0:24:44 > 0:24:47are regular programmes on which radio station?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- I don't listen to them. Do you? - Hm... I don't know.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- Know this, Pat?- No, I'm afraid not.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Well, Radio 6 Music possibly not.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03It's not ringing any... You know, I may be wrong.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Radio 2 has got all the politics. - Yeah, there's not really any...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It has Jeremy after all.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Radio 5 Live does a lot of political stuff.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Cos it used to be just... essentially sports, Radio 5.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21It's now crossed over.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- I really don't know.- Erm...- I'm not particularly... I just don't know.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27OK. All right. Well, we don't...we don't...
0:25:27 > 0:25:28- Should we go for it, then?- Yeah.- OK.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Erm, we don't know it. We are obviously not...not listeners here,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35but we'll go for Radio 5 Live.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Radio 5 Live.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Well, the man who clearly does know is silent in the question room.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43He got knocked out, but he's happy. It's the right answer.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Yes, Radio 5 Live.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Ooh. Wobbling a bit there, weren't they?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Knock them back again.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Four square again. Can you take the lead with this?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57The travelling salesman Montague Egg
0:25:57 > 0:25:59features in several short stories
0:25:59 > 0:26:02by which writer of the detective fiction?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- OK. Do you know this one at all? Cos I certainly don't.- I don't.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15I mean, I've got to say, I may be ignorant, but I haven't heard...
0:26:15 > 0:26:19The only one I've heard of there is Agatha Christie in writing.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- OK, well I've heard of Josephine Tey. - OK.- I think she wrote a book...
0:26:24 > 0:26:29A novel about Richard III, which I might've read. Erm...
0:26:30 > 0:26:32What's your gut instincts say?
0:26:32 > 0:26:38- My gut instinct...- Help!- Is that I have no... Absolutely no idea.- So...
0:26:38 > 0:26:41If you're going with what Judith says, you'd go down the right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Go for Dorothy Sayers.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Should we know for Dorothy L Sayers, then?- Yeah.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Yeah, I'd go with whatever cos as I say I really don't know.- No. OK.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It would be a complete guess.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54OK, so pure guess, erm, I'm going to go with Dorothy L Sayers.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55OK. Dorothy L Sayers.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00And 'the magic right', as well.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- It's the right answer, too.- Hey! - Dorothy L Sayers. Montague Egg.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06OK, well, Eggheads.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Will Montague Egg cost you your crown? You need to get this.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Tap Your Troubles Away is a song from which musical?
0:27:18 > 0:27:19- Oh!- Dear.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- I saw Mack And Mabel not too long ago.- Oh, was it in it?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Erm...- I think it's more like Annie.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Troubles sounds good for Annie.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Yeah, I don't think it's Mack And Mabel
0:27:31 > 0:27:33cos Mack And Mabel is incredibly downbeat.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Yeah, I don't think it's Mack And Mabel.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And 42nd Street, that's sort of show biz, isn't it?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40My instinct is Annie.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I think mine is too when I think about it.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Don't they do a routine together, Annie and the butler?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50And he's trying to teach her to tap dance. To tap her troubles away.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52All right. That sounds reasonable.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- We'll go for Annie I think, shall we?- OK.- Annie.- Annie.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Annie. Tap Your Troubles Away.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00It's Mack And Mabel.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Which means you've won!
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- I would have never known that. - No, I wouldn't have either.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13It doesn't matter.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- As I said, Montague Egg has beaten the Eggheads.- Excellent.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Well, good guess, Dorothy L Sayers, wasn't it?- Yeah, it was.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Very good, yeah. - But a fantastic result.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- And more to the point, a fantastic charity you work for.- Thank you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28May we wish you all the best for the future for that
0:28:28 > 0:28:30and all the wonderful work you do with that.
