0:00:04 > 0:00:09These 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 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:33possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain - they are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And challenging our resident quiz champions today are The Whigets.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This team are all members of the Welsh Historic Gardens Trust,
0:00:39 > 0:00:41a group which protects the historic parks,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43gardens and landscapes of Wales.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49I'm Jean. I'm 68 and I'm the chairman of the Welsh Historic Gardens Trust.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Tom. I'm 49 and I'm a renewable energy consultant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Advolly.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I'm 47 and I'm a garden and landscape historian.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Alison. I'm 62 and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Liz.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I'm 65 and I'm a garden historian.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Welcome to you, Whigets. Tell me about the trust and the work you do.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13We were formed in 1989, so we're 25 years old,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16so any voluntary organisation that makes 25 years
0:01:16 > 0:01:18we reckon is a time for celebration.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We were set up at the time when gardens really
0:01:21 > 0:01:23weren't as renowned as they are they are now.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We were worried about gardens that were being destroyed -
0:01:25 > 0:01:28got a famous one in Wales called Aberglasney, which was falling
0:01:28 > 0:01:32apart, so we've been involved in that sort of work for 25 years.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Congratulations to you.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I hope I'm congratulating you after we play the Eggheads here today.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:38 > 0:01:40up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Whigets, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50so £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Let's see about our first round. It's come up as Science.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Who'd like to play this?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00I think that might be Advolly. Do you think that's Advolly?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Yes, Advolly.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05OK, Advolly, yeah, getting geared up for it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Who you going to play, Advolly?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- I think Judith. - You're going for Judith.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Sounds like it's Judith. - OK, well, let's have Advolly
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and Judith into the Question Room to contest our opening round.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Advolly, somewhat reluctantly playing this Science round.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26We do occasionally have some botany questions in there.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Erm...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I think I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And the very best of luck to you. First question is this, Advolly.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41What was accidentally invented in 1945
0:02:41 > 0:02:44when a chocolate bar melted in the inventor's pocket,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47whilst he was standing by a magnetron?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55A magnetron? Erm...
0:02:55 > 0:02:59I'm not sure what chocolate has to do with this.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Microwave oven.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Yeah, that's the significance of the chocolate bar - it melted!
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Oh!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You were asking there...
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yes, microwave oven -
0:03:13 > 0:03:18they then realised the potential there of those microwaves.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20OK.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Judith, what is the usual habitat of the bird called the Arctic skua?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Well, I think they live at sea.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Not urban gardens? - I don't think so.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Not find them in The Whigets' territory?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39The Arctic skua is of course found mainly at sea.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Well done.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Advolly, which of these names is given to a method of fitting
0:03:45 > 0:03:48a line or curve to a set of data points?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Line or curve...
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Fitting a line or curve to a set of data points?
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Um...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I really don't know.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Um...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I'm going to have to guess, I'm afraid.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Um...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Lowest polygons.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Barry?- Least squares.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20It's least squares, Advolly, least squares.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Nothing there, how will Judith do?
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Judith, in 2002, Alfredo Moser from Brazil developed an idea to use
0:04:28 > 0:04:32water bottles to provide which service for households?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Oh, God, I mean, how on earth are you going to know that?!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Um...
0:04:41 > 0:04:43What's it got to do with TV reception?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I can't believe it could be to do with lighting.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I have absolutely no idea.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Magic right - heating.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Heating.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I'm the same as you, Judith, but I do have the luxury of having
0:04:58 > 0:05:02the answer here and I will ask your Egghead colleagues,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04see if they know anything more about it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Alfredo Moser developed an idea to use
0:05:06 > 0:05:10water bottles to provide...lighting for households.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11It's lighting.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15So, other Eggheads, do enlighten me and Judith.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I think he takes standard bottles,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22and they're buried in the concrete or the mud or whatever you
0:05:22 > 0:05:24choose to build your ceiling with,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26and the light simply passes through them, like a skylight.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29And you put bleach in the bottles to stop algae growing.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30It's a sort of...
0:05:30 > 0:05:32A cheap form of glass, really.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33A cheap form of glass, yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36OK. Right.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40There we have it - no damage done and it's all-square,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42and see how you do with your third question.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Which material was patented in 1892 by the British chemists
0:05:46 > 0:05:51and businessmen Charles Frederick Cross and Edward John Bevan?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Um...
0:05:57 > 0:05:58I'm not too sure.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05The only time I've heard shellac is when you have false nails.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Neoprene...
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm going to go with viscose.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14OK.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18And you've got the right answer. Well done, Advolly.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Well, you have a lead here and will it prove to be a clinching lead?
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Judith, the Stern-Gerlach experiment of 1922
0:06:27 > 0:06:31provided evidence that which bodies have the property of spin?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Stern-Gerlach.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37S-T-E-R-N...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Hyphen G-E-R-L-A-C-H.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42G-E-R-L-A-C-H.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Well, "Search me," is all I can say!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Um...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Electrons.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Electrons...
0:06:53 > 0:06:57is the right answer - you've both got them.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Well, Advolly, to explain to you
0:06:58 > 0:07:01and those who may face a similar situation later,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05this is Sudden Death we move to, after three questions each,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07with multiple choices there.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11We're offering you no more choices, just got to hear an answer from you.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Amalthea, discovered in 1892,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18is the fifth largest moon, by overall size,
0:07:18 > 0:07:19of which planet?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Amalthea - A-M-A-L-T-H-E-A.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26OK. Um...
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Where are the plant questions here?! - I'm sorry.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32There don't seem to be any!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Oh, my goodness me - it is a nightmare.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Erm...
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Jupiter.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Jupiter...
0:07:46 > 0:07:49And chuckles from the Eggheads cos they know you've got it!
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Jupiter. Well, you will go through if Judith doesn't get this.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Judith, which university administers the
0:08:00 > 0:08:03observatory for radio astronomy known as Jodrell Bank?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It's either Birmingham or Manchester.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13I read it two days ago and it's gone out of my head.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Uh...Birmingham.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- It's Manchester.- Oh, no!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25That's not fair!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I think we all feel for you there, Judith.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31A lot of people wouldn't have had a clue about either two.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Oh, dear, Judith - bad luck.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37What a great victory, though, Advolly.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39You didn't want to play it, and you've won it,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42which means you will be playing in the Final Round for The Whigets.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Would you both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49The Whigets off to a flying start after Advolly's victory,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52it means the Eggheads have lost one brain from the Final Round -
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Whigets are all there of course.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Our second head-to-head today is Film & Television.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Who's raring to go on this one?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03ADVOLLY: That was one of mine!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06You're safe, Advolly, you don't have to play.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07- You?- I guess so.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I think it's going to be Tom.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13ADVOLLY: What about if Sport comes up?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14What about it Sport comes up?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Do you want me to go? - I don't mind.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Shall I go in case Sport comes up?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Will I go in case Sport comes up?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24OK, regretfully, it's me.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Stay with us and choose your Egghead.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Film & TV, so you can choose anyone apart from Judith.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Chris.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33OK, it's going to be Jean and Chris playing this one -
0:09:33 > 0:09:34into the Question Room.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Jean, it's Film & TV. I guess you watch the gardening shows,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43what other viewing habits do you have?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Well, I watch Eggheads, of course.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47That's my...
0:09:47 > 0:09:48I enjoy the quiz shows.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51This is not my favourite subject, I have to say.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Film & Television...
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I think... Not at all good, but we'll have a go.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59And we will find out in a moment or two.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Do you want to go first or second?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03I think I'll go second.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10First question for the Eggheads, then, and that's Chris.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Which Australian actress played the title role
0:10:13 > 0:10:15in the 1998 feature film Elizabeth?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21That was Cate Blanchett.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Yes, it was, Chris.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Assuredly off the mark. Your first question, then, Jean.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30What type of supernatural characters do
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan play in the 2012 film Byzantium?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Well, I have to confess, I haven't the faintest idea.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Byzantium.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Somehow, I don't think it would be zombies.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I think I'm going to do a Judith and go down the right-hand side
0:10:52 > 0:10:55and say werewolves.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59OK, werewolves for Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan in Byzantium...
0:10:59 > 0:11:00It's not, Jean, no.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Very much in vogue in recent years, these kind of films - Chris?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- They're vampires.- Vampires.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11OK, another question for you then, Chris.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15In 1986, William Boyd took on the role of a villain called
0:11:15 > 0:11:18James Willmott-Brown in which TV soap?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24It's the one I never watch - it's EastEnders.
0:11:24 > 0:11:30It is EastEnders. Chris has got it, which means you need this, Jean.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Who wrote and presented the three-part television
0:11:32 > 0:11:36documentary series King Alfred And The Anglo Saxons,
0:11:36 > 0:11:37first shown in 2013?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Ah...
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Don't know who Michael Wood is - sorry, Michael Wood.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I associate Mary Beard with the Romans.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I'm going to try Neil Oliver.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59OK, Neil Oliver. King Alfred And The Anglo Saxons was written
0:11:59 > 0:12:01and presented by...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Michael Wood, Jean. Michael Wood!- Sorry!
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Bad luck. So we close the round down right away, Chris has already
0:12:09 > 0:12:11got those two on the board, which is
0:12:11 > 0:12:13unassailable from your point of view.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Means you won't be in the Final Round, Jean.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Would you both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22It's an even-handed game so far - both teams have lost one
0:12:22 > 0:12:25brain from the Final Round - The Whigets and the Eggheads.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Our next subject, our third subject, it's Politics.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Who wants to play this from The Whigets?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33JEAN: That was mine...!
0:12:33 > 0:12:34THEY LAUGH
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Alison?- I'll go.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Alison, choose an Egghead.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Judith and Chris have played, so you can play Pat, Barry or CJ.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I'll go for CJ, please.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50All right. Let's have Alison and CJ into the Question Room now, please.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Alison, we're awaiting your choice of tactics with interest -
0:12:56 > 0:12:59do you want to go first, like Advolly, or second, like Jean?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Try and establish a lead before the Egghead.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08First question, Alison.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Which foodstuff did Dean Porter
0:13:11 > 0:13:15throw at Ed Miliband in a South London market in August 2013?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Well, all three of them are popular for throwing at politicians
0:13:24 > 0:13:27or people you disapprove of.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31I remember the incident, I don't remember the missile.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33I'm going to go with egg.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37OK, egg. It is the right answer. Well done.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41You got that, well done, Alison.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44CJ, which country established an organisation called
0:13:44 > 0:13:47the Peace Corps in 1961?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Well, it was set up by John F Kennedy,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54which rather leads me to the USA.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55OK, once you'd said that...
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Yes, USA is correct.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Both started well. Alison's second question.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03In which decade did Hillary Rodham marry Bill Clinton?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I'm going to rule out the '50s.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And I think, because I don't know the answer,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I'll go down the middle with the 1970s.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21OK, 1970s.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Yes, it is.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25That's the correct answer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28OK. CJ, your second question.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31In the House of Commons, who holds the casting vote
0:14:31 > 0:14:32if the vote is equal?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Well, the Prime Minister
0:14:38 > 0:14:41and the Father of the House just have standard votes, don't they?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Although the Speaker does have a party affiliation,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47he's supposed to be neutral in the House.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50I'll go with the Speaker.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54The Speaker having the casting vote if it ends up even...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57yep, the Speaker has the casting vote.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00It's all-square - going well, both of you.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Alison, third question.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06In Parliament, royal assent is given to legislation by an official
0:15:06 > 0:15:08speaking words in which language?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I'm going to rule out Anglo-Saxon.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Erm...
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Latin is the language of the law.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29So I think I'll go for Latin.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32OK. Latin.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It's Norman French.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38You just said it, Alison - it is Norman French.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Didn't really consider or turn your thoughts to that.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46CJ, chance to get into the Final Round if you get this.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Who was known as the Earl of Avon
0:15:48 > 0:15:51after serving as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I can never remember which ones take which titles.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01I think Eden did take...
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I think it was an earldom for Eden.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14I don't think it was MacDonald, but that could come back to bite me.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20I do know what title Eden took and I can't remember.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I think I'm going for Anthony Eden.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25OK.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28You do you what title he took but you can't remember.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Well, you have now - it is the Earl of Avon.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Eased his way into the Final Round there, CJ.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Bad luck, Alison,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38just jumped in a little bit on your last one -
0:16:38 > 0:16:40means you won't be in the Final Round.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Would you both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47As it stands, The Whigets have lost two brains from the Final Round,
0:16:47 > 0:16:52the Eggheads have lost one, so edging into the lead, the Eggheads.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Can The Whigets pull them back?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Last chance to do so on the head-to-head - it's Sport.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Who'd like to play this? I think we know.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01THEY LAUGH
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Tom or Liz - is it going to be you, Tom?
0:17:03 > 0:17:04It's definitely Tom.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Definitely Tom.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Chris, Judith and CJ have played, so you can have Pat or Barry, Tom.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Eh...I'll have Barry, please. - OK, Barry.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Let's have Tom and Barry into the Question Room now, please.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Tom, you've been on TV before, a little while ago, it must be said.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Tell us about the Blue Peter appearance.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26It was a long time ago.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29We were... Myself and my fiancee at the time,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33we were travelling across Africa on motorbikes
0:17:33 > 0:17:36and the BBC team were heading to Zimbabwe for their summer break,
0:17:36 > 0:17:41so I think they brought us on to fit in with that as much as anything.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44We basically drove into the studios on the bikes,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47desperately hoping we weren't going to fall over,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50and be on the repeat show for the next 20 years,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52but fortunately, it all went OK.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Fantastic. I hope this goes OK then. Do you want to go first or second?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I will go second, please.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Barry goes first then. First set of questions then, Barry.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Which British athlete won the women's 400 metres
0:18:07 > 0:18:12at the 2013 World Championships in a photo-finish?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17I remember watching this,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20it was one of the most exciting races I've ever watched.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21I think the final result was
0:18:21 > 0:18:23something like one-hundredth of a second,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27and I do believe it was Christine Ohuruogu.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It was Christine Ohuruogu.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32OK, one to you. Tom, your first question.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34In Olympic handball, it is
0:18:34 > 0:18:38illegal to pass the ball using which of these parts of the body?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Erm...
0:18:42 > 0:18:45I'd imagine the elbow's probably OK.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Handball - I would say foot.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53That's fair, really - it's the opposite of football.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Yeah, right answer. Well done.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04Barry, IK Start is a football team from which country?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Never heard of them.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10IK Start.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Of the three, I've probably heard of Norwegian football teams more
0:19:13 > 0:19:15then the other two,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17and that has not rung a bell with Norway,
0:19:17 > 0:19:18so I'll discount Norway.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I'll go for the one I know least about - Latvia.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Latvia for IK Start.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26No!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It's incorrect, Barry.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Other Eggheads, anyone know?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- CJ:- Go for Iceland with the I.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I - Iceland.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Good thought, but, no. It is Norway for IK Start.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I knew the moment I said that!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Yes, you were on a hiding to nothing once you'd said that. OK.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Well, that's great news, potentially, for you, Tom.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Can you capitalise?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Your second question.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51In which event did Liselotte Neumann
0:19:51 > 0:19:54captain Europe to an 18-10 victory over
0:19:54 > 0:19:57the United States in 2013?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Sounds like golf then, but I'm not a golfer.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Um...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I haven't heard of the Uber Cup.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14I've heard of the Solheim Cup, so it's that or the Fed,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17and I think I'll go for the Solheim Cup.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Just looking at Barry's face.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23He knows you've got it - yes!
0:20:23 > 0:20:24You have the lead.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Solheim Cup.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29You need this, as you know, Barry.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31In which year did the Sri Lanka cricket team
0:20:31 > 0:20:34play it's first official Test match?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41I know India and Pakistan were playing well before Sri Lanka -
0:20:41 > 0:20:45they joined the International Cricket Confederation much later,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47so I shall discount 1962.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I don't think it was as late as '82,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51so I'll go down the middle at '72.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55And you're going down the plughole - that's wrong too!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58It's 1982.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Ah, later still.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Tom, you can relax.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02That wasn't too hard, was it?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04No, but got to do it again now, don't I?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Yes, but you will have company, and quite a lot of company.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You've beaten Barry, which means you are in the Final Round.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Would you both, please, come back and join your teams.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19And this is what we've been playing towards -
0:21:19 > 0:21:20it's the Final Round, which,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23But I'm afraid that those of you who
0:21:23 > 0:21:26lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29so Jean and Alison from The Whigets,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and Barry and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34would you leave the studio now, please.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Tom, Advolly and Liz, you're playing to win The Whigets £2,000.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41CJ, Chris and Pat,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:21:43 > 0:21:46the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48As usual, I'm going to ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:21:51 > 0:21:53and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Whigets, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Whigets, how are you going to play this?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01You played it both ways in the head-to-head -
0:22:01 > 0:22:03do you want to go first or second?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05We'd like to go first, please.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11OK, kicking us off, The Whigets, and your first question is this.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15What name is given to the grotesquely-carved rainwater
0:22:15 > 0:22:18spouts often found on the walls of cathedrals?
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Gargoyles.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28No discussion required - it's the right answer, yes.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Get that one on the board - gargoyles.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Eggheads, How I Found Livingstone is a work by which explorer?
0:22:40 > 0:22:41At a guess, I'd say Stanley.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Henry Morton Stanley.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Henry Morton Stanley, I presume.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Lovely stuff there, Pat.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Henry Morton Stanley is correct.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Both off the mark with some degree of ease.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Whigets, your second question.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Which of these is the name of the accent or mark which is
0:23:01 > 0:23:04normally placed over the first E in the word "fete"?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- It's the hat - what's it called? - It's not the cedilla.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15The circumflex. It's the circumflex.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Is that the hat? - It's a circumflex.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Yeah, a little hat, as you described.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Circumflex is correct.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Well done.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Eggheads, your second question.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31The Rif Mountains are in which of these African countries?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37They're part of the Atlas.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39The piece that extends up along the Mediterranean.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42They're a sub-section of the Atlas Mountains,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44so they're in Morocco.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Morocco's your answer.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48It's the correct answer. You've got two correct,
0:23:48 > 0:23:53so it's all-square as we go into the third pair of questions.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Whigets, who wrote the comedy The Admirable Crichton,
0:23:57 > 0:24:02that was first performed on the London stage in 1902?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Who wrote the comedy The Admirable Crichton,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11that was first performed on the London stage in 1902?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- You agreed for that? - I'm pretty sure it's JM Barrie.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16We think it's JM Barrie.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20JM Barrie for The Admirable Crichton.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22You're right!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Three. OK, Eggheads, are you going to lose again?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28A combined English and Dutch force captured
0:24:28 > 0:24:32and sacked which foreign port in 1596?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Could this be the sinking of the King of Spain's boat?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41It's not Venice - not in 1596.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44He was Elizabethan times, so Drake is a candidate.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Would they have been doing any mischief in Alexandra?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I don't think so.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52English fits for the time for Cadiz, doesn't it?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I thought it was just a lightning raid.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Did they actually go ashore and wreck the place?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Sounds like they did. - Apparently.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01They bombed a lot of ships in the harbour.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Go with that?- Yep.- Yeah.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06We're assuming it's Francis Drake singeing the King of Spain's beard,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09and we think it's Cadiz.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10OK.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13That is the right answer, Eggheads, you've got it,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15so we go into Sudden Death.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Here we go - it gets a lot harder.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19It gets a lot harder.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21As you know, exactly.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27OK, in the abbreviation L.S.D. for pounds, shillings and pence,
0:25:27 > 0:25:32which Latin word was represented by S?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35In the abbreviation L.S.D. for pounds, shillings and pence,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38which Latin word was represented by S?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- Isn't it gold? Sold... Sold... - Sorry?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Soldera? Sol-something? Soldera?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I was going to say sesterti, that was a Latin...
0:25:50 > 0:25:52That begins with a C.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Oh, right...
0:25:55 > 0:25:59I can't think, cos there were 20 shillings in a pound, weren't there?
0:25:59 > 0:26:00We'll try...
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Will we try it?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03What was it made out of?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Silver, I think. - Silver, is it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Well, the little shilling pieces...
0:26:09 > 0:26:12We'll try sesterti.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15We're not very sure about this.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Sesterti.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19S for sesterti.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's not the right answer, it's not sesterti.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Do you know, Eggheads?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Solidi.- Solidi.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27- ADVOLLY:- That's what I said!
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- CHRIS:- Librae - pound.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Solidi - shillings.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Denarii is pennies.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Solidi was what we wanted, not sisterci.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Eggheads, you've got a chance to win the game.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41In a word often ascribed to George Bernard Shaw,
0:26:41 > 0:26:47the letters G, H, O, T and I are pronounced in the same
0:26:47 > 0:26:51way as a which common word with a very different spelling?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53In a word often ascribed to George Bernard Shaw,
0:26:53 > 0:26:58the letters G, H, O, T and I are pronounced in the same
0:26:58 > 0:27:02way as a which common word with a very different spelling?
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Do you know it?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06He was fascinated by linguistics
0:27:06 > 0:27:11and the peculiarities of English pronunciation annoyed him,
0:27:11 > 0:27:15and he produced examples of each of the letters.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17So it would be pronounced as "fish".
0:27:17 > 0:27:20G, H, O, T, I, pronounced as "fish", you're saying?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- That's your answer? - That's our answer - "fish".
0:27:22 > 0:27:25How did he get to that then from G-H-O-T-I?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Off the top of my head, it's hard work...
0:27:28 > 0:27:31The G and the H are "ff" at the end of some words,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33erm...
0:27:33 > 0:27:37O can presumably be pronounced as "I" in some circumstances.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Women?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Yeah, absolutely.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42T-I as in "tion".
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Nation. And you have "fish",
0:27:46 > 0:27:48and you have the right answer and you have won the game.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Well done, Eggheads.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Yes, they knew their fish there.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Well done, Eggheads.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Thank you very much for playing them, Whigets,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05very good performance - all-square through the head-to-heads,
0:28:05 > 0:28:06some notable victories
0:28:06 > 0:28:10in the Sudden Death with moons of Jupiter and all that.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Great stuff seeing you. Thank you very much indeed
0:28:13 > 0:28:16and best of luck with all the work in the future.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20they still reign supreme over quiz-land.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22I'm afraid you won't be going home with our £2,000,
0:28:22 > 0:28:26that means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the
0:28:29 > 0:28:31brains to defeat the Eggheads -
0:28:31 > 0:28:32£3,000 says they don't.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Until then, goodbye.
