0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today

0:00:35 > 0:00:38are Up Funnel Down Screw.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41This team are all volunteer visitor guides on board HMS Warrior.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45That's a historic armour-plated, iron-hulled warship,

0:00:45 > 0:00:48berthed in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard complex.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50I'm Julian.

0:00:50 > 0:00:55I'm 79 years of age and I'm a retired insurance executive.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello. I'm Patrick. I'm 67 and I'm a retired naval engineer.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hello. I'm Trevor.

0:01:01 > 0:01:06I'm 72 years old and I'm a retired Royal Naval Senior Rate.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi. I'm Alastair. I'm 79

0:01:09 > 0:01:11and I'm a retired naval officer and author.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hello. I'm Arthur.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17I'm 79 years of age and I'm a retired naval officer.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Welcome to you, Up Funnel Down Screw.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21I'm loving the team name.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23But, of course, it refers to HMS Warrior

0:01:23 > 0:01:25preparing to leave its berth.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Absolutely, yes, yes.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29And I think, Alastair,

0:01:29 > 0:01:33you give a good definition of Up Funnel Down Screw.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34Good gracious.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37This happened when you want to change the ship's mode of propulsion

0:01:37 > 0:01:41from being under sail to being under steam.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43And it was as simple as that.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Sailing the ship, you lowered the propeller down

0:01:45 > 0:01:48and you put the funnels up and vice versa

0:01:48 > 0:01:51when you wanted to go from steam to sail.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54- I see. So it has two methods of propulsion.- Indeed.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57So, did a lot of warships at the time get built like that?

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Yes, they did.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02From 1841 to about 1880,

0:02:02 > 0:02:06nearly everybody's warship which had a steam engine also had sails.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Fascinating. I know there's an Egghead down there

0:02:09 > 0:02:12who's listening with great attention there.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Chris, do you know about HMS Warrior?

0:02:15 > 0:02:16Yeah, I've been on the Warrior, yeah.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Well, she was the ultimate weapon of the time,

0:02:18 > 0:02:21designed to put the fear of God in the French, basically.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Never fired a shot in anger but did the job.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27OK. Right, well, let's fire some quizzing shots.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Not in anger but in competition here.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash

0:02:31 > 0:02:33up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:35 > 0:02:37the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39So, Up Funnel Down Screw,

0:02:39 > 0:02:41the Eggheads have won the last five games,

0:02:41 > 0:02:44and that means £6,000 says you can't beat them today.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46And we will start.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Our first head-to-head is going to be Film & Television.

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Who would like to play this one?

0:02:50 > 0:02:51Film & TV,

0:02:51 > 0:02:53who'd like to start us?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Is that me, I think?- Is it you? Yeah, that's great.- Yes.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Yes, I'll do it.- You'll have a go at that?- I'll have a go.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00- I'll take it.- Patrick.- OK, Patrick.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02And who would you like to play from the Eggheads?

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- I wonder who I should take on. - They're all good.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Yes. Chris?- Indeed so.- Why not?

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Yes.- Yeah.- I'll take on Chris, please.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14All right. Patrick and Chris playing our opening round.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15It's Film & Television.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Could you both go to the Question Room, please?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, Patrick, it's fascinating hearing about HMS Warrior's

0:03:22 > 0:03:24service in Victoria's fleet.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29Is it true, you actually once got asked if you'd served upon her?

0:03:29 > 0:03:33Yes, I was asked by a young child who thought I was quite old

0:03:33 > 0:03:36and asked, had I served on there, and I said,

0:03:36 > 0:03:40"I'm that old but I'm not really old enough to have served on her."

0:03:40 > 0:03:41DERMOT LAUGHS

0:03:41 > 0:03:42When did she formally retire

0:03:42 > 0:03:44from service?

0:03:44 > 0:03:47And then, how has she survived so long into this century?

0:03:47 > 0:03:50She retired around about 1883

0:03:50 > 0:03:53and then did various jobs in the Reserve Fleets

0:03:53 > 0:03:59until after doing a...like a shore liaison job for HMS Vernon,

0:03:59 > 0:04:01she became a floating hulk,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04a jetty alongside in Milford Haven

0:04:04 > 0:04:06for 50 years before she was rescued.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10Great. And now, being looked after by you and others.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Great to hear that. Shall we play the round then? Film & Television.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Would you like to go first or second, Patrick?

0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.

0:04:21 > 0:04:22OK. First question

0:04:22 > 0:04:24is this.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27In which 1997 film did Tom Wilkinson

0:04:27 > 0:04:30play an unemployed manager called Gerald?

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Uh, I think I know the answer to this one, Dermot.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's not RocknRolla.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41It's not Wilde. I think it's The Full Monty.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43It is The Full Monty, yes.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Tom Wilkinson as Gerald there.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Chris, which film director was quoted as saying,

0:04:50 > 0:04:55"There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it."?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01That was Alfred Hitchcock, Dermot.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04OK. Was he referring to any particular film?

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- No, I think just his methods of building suspense.- Yes. OK.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Hitchcock is correct. And Patrick, second question.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Which actress played Willow in the

0:05:14 > 0:05:18long-running television fantasy drama Buffy The Vampire Slayer?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's not a programme I've seen, Dermot,

0:05:24 > 0:05:26so it'll have to be a guess, I'm afraid.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Um, none of the names seem familiar to me, so I'll take Blake Lively.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33OK. Blake Lively.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35As we might have guessed, Patrick,

0:05:35 > 0:05:38perhaps not something you would be too keen on watching.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40It's not Blake Lively, you haven't got it.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42You never know with Chris. Do you know?

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yeah, it's Alyson Hannigan.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46My goodness me. How do you know that, Chris?

0:05:46 > 0:05:47It is the right answer.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49- You'd be surprised what I know. - Yeah, that's what I say.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Every now and again you think, he'll never know that, and you do.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55OK. Well, it wasn't your question, so you don't get a point for it.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56That was just out of interest.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59And here is your second question.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Which of these television dramas was co-created by Steven Moffat?

0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's not Downton Abbey. That's... Well, you know, it...

0:06:10 > 0:06:12I don't know. Um...

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Game Of Thrones. No.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18I think Sherlock was a collaboration,

0:06:18 > 0:06:20so I'll have to say Sherlock.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Sherlock. Julian Fellowes for Downton Abbey.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Yeah, yeah, that's the fella.- Just thought I'd put that into your mind.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Can't do it while you're thinking though.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Can't give you any kind of a steer.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Sherlock is the right answer.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34You have a lead. Right, Patrick.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35Important to get this then.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37The actor Claude Rains,

0:06:37 > 0:06:40who starred in the 1942 film Casablanca,

0:06:40 > 0:06:42was born in which city?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47I don't really know this one. I don't think it's London.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51I might be wrong on that, obviously.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55My instinct is...Budapest.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK, Budapest for Claude Rains

0:06:57 > 0:07:00starring so memorably...well, in so many films,

0:07:00 > 0:07:01but Casablanca stands out.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03You're saying Budapest.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04Chris, do you know? Is it Budapest?

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Well, he was on the London stage way back,

0:07:07 > 0:07:08and John Gielgud

0:07:08 > 0:07:10was asked if he'd remembered him, what happened to him.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13"I think he failed and went to America."

0:07:13 > 0:07:16So, if he was on the London stage back in the '20s,

0:07:16 > 0:07:17I think he was born in London.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19He was certainly British.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20It is London. It is London.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24So, you will be playing with the usual suspects...

0:07:24 > 0:07:25- The Eggheads.- Ah!

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Round up the usual suspects.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Yeah, yeah. Good line.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Crikey. You know, you try.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32OK, Chris, you will be playing in the final round.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Patrick, no place for you.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:07:39 > 0:07:40Well, as it stands, Up Funnel Down Screw

0:07:40 > 0:07:42have lost that one brain from the final round.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44The Eggheads are all still there.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Now, our next subject coming up

0:07:46 > 0:07:48I suspect might be more to your liking.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49It's History.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Who will play this one from Up Funnel Down Screw?

0:07:52 > 0:07:53History.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Will Arthur do that one? Arthur?- That's Arthur, isn't it?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Right.- Yes.- Arthur.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Right, Arthur. Now, choose your Egghead.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Just remember, it can't be Chris but any of the other four.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Um, could I try CJ, please?

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Yes, you can. Let's have Arthur and CJ into the Question Room, please.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11So, Arthur, let's play the History round.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Would you like to go first or second?

0:08:13 > 0:08:14First, please, Dermot.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19And here's your first question.

0:08:19 > 0:08:24Which of these pieces of legislation was enacted by Parliament in 1833?

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Have to think about this.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34I'm pretty sure votes for women came later.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Railways were about then.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40I think I'll go for abolition of slavery.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43And right to do so. That's the correct answer, yes.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47The other two much later of course.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52And, CJ, who founded a monastery on the Hebridean island of Iona

0:08:52 > 0:08:54in 563 AD?

0:08:58 > 0:09:00That was St Columba.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02St Columba is the right answer.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05And Arthur, your second question.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Robert Adam, born in Kirkcaldy in 1728,

0:09:09 > 0:09:11became famous in which field?

0:09:15 > 0:09:19OK. My mind is wandering somewhat.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20Um...

0:09:22 > 0:09:23I don't think medicine.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27I'm going to plump for architecture.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Yes! You have got it.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Wandered onto the right answer there. That's two for you.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38CJ, the historic street in York called The Shambles

0:09:38 > 0:09:40takes its name from which type of shop?

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Once you started with butcher's,

0:09:45 > 0:09:47there was really only the other two options to choose.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48It's a butcher's.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51OK, butcher's, yes,

0:09:51 > 0:09:52is the right answer.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54And third question for both of you.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Yours coming first, Arthur.

0:09:56 > 0:10:01The 1332 Battle of Dupplin Moor

0:10:01 > 0:10:02was fought near which city?

0:10:05 > 0:10:09Dupplin Moor is D-U-P-P-L-I-N.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11I don't think it's the West Country...

0:10:12 > 0:10:15..or as far north as Perth.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18It sounds more like Preston for me.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19OK, Preston you're going for

0:10:19 > 0:10:21for Dupplin Moor.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23I'm afraid it's wrong.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's incorrect. Anyone know? CJ?

0:10:25 > 0:10:26Well, I would have gone for Perth.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Perth it is.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29So Arthur didn't get that,

0:10:29 > 0:10:31giving CJ an opportunity

0:10:31 > 0:10:32to win the round.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36After the First World War, the American commander John Pershing

0:10:36 > 0:10:40named which notable participant as the man who won the war?

0:10:44 > 0:10:45I'd be...

0:10:46 > 0:10:48..surprised if it was Haig.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Wilson...

0:10:52 > 0:10:55obviously did help but was much later.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58America only entered the war in 1917.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01HE SIGHS I really don't know this whole...

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Pretty much guess at Ferdinand Foch.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05OK.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Ferdinand Foch...

0:11:08 > 0:11:09..it's not.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11Other Eggheads?

0:11:12 > 0:11:15That's interesting though. I would have gone for Foch.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Kevin would have gone for Foch as well, he says.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- I would.- In that case then,

0:11:19 > 0:11:23it's possible that he could have said it about either of the others.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25- That's why it's such a good question, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27The options are so good. It's Douglas Haig.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29It is Douglas Haig.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31OK. Well, nobody has won yet.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33It's all square after three questions.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35So, Arthur, we're taking away the options

0:11:35 > 0:11:38and turning it into the Sudden Death phase of the round

0:11:38 > 0:11:39just to sort out a winner.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41And can you tell me,

0:11:41 > 0:11:44who was on the throne of England between 1558

0:11:44 > 0:11:46and 1603?

0:11:46 > 0:11:49I'm much happier with that. That was Queen Elizabeth I.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Certainly was. Yes, Elizabeth I.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55You're back on track.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56And, CJ,

0:11:56 > 0:11:58who was Home Secretary in 1910

0:11:58 > 0:12:01when troops were used to control striking miners

0:12:01 > 0:12:03during the Tonypandy Riots?

0:12:03 > 0:12:07I don't know if he did anything after but his name was Winston Churchill.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Yes, Winston Churchill is correct.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14And some ill feeling towards him in South Wales ever since.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16OK. Arthur,

0:12:16 > 0:12:18early in the 10th century,

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Alfred The Great's daughter Aethelflaed

0:12:21 > 0:12:25became the sole ruler of which Anglo-Saxon kingdom

0:12:25 > 0:12:26after the death of her husband?

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Now, I'm guessing in this one now, I'm afraid.

0:12:34 > 0:12:35Could it have been Wessex?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Wessex is not it.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42- No. Do you know, CJ? - I would have guessed at Mercia.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Mercia. Mercia.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Anyone tell me a bit more about Aethelflaed?

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Well, she was married to the king of Mercia and then obviously has...

0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Yeah.- I think she became known as the Lady Of The Mercians.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55OK.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Right. Well, nothing there for Arthur.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02CJ, in 1916, the explorer Ernest Shackleton and five others

0:13:02 > 0:13:06heroically sailed from which island in a small, open boat

0:13:06 > 0:13:08to reach South Georgia?

0:13:08 > 0:13:10South Georgia is where he's buried.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Oh, one island immediately comes to mind but...

0:13:16 > 0:13:19..simply goes along with South Georgia. It's the...

0:13:20 > 0:13:22..main name I know for Shackleton.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24I don't think I know any others.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27So this is just a case of, choose the only other name I know,

0:13:27 > 0:13:28and I'll try Elephant Island.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Which is the right answer.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33That's the way it works with Eggheads, isn't it?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Got that link to Shackleton and did... It's right.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38OK. Well, CJ has just won

0:13:38 > 0:13:40that round into Sudden Death.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42It means you won't be in the final round, Arthur.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Would you both come back and join your teams, please?

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Well, Up Funnel Down Screw have lost two brains from the final round.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50The Eggheads haven't lost any.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53We've got two more head-to-heads, so a chance to make it all square

0:13:53 > 0:13:54in the final round.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Our next head-to-head is Sport.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58So, who from Up Funnel Down Screw

0:13:58 > 0:13:59would like to play this?

0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Yeah, OK.- Would you do this?- Yes.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02I'll do that, Dermot.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05OK, Trevor. And now, which Egghead would you like to play?

0:14:05 > 0:14:06CJ and Chris have played,

0:14:06 > 0:14:08so you can have Judith, Barry or Kevin.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Um, Barry.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Barry. Yes, the sportiest of them all.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15- HE LAUGHS - What's your best time over 100m?

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Isn't it 9 point...? - About three days.- Yes.

0:14:18 > 0:14:19THEY CHUCKLE

0:14:19 > 0:14:22OK, let's have Trevor and Barry into the Question Room, please.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26So, Trevor, after your naval career,

0:14:26 > 0:14:28I believe you still like going to sea on cruises.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Yes. Bit strange, isn't it?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Busmans' holidays. But my wife comes with me on the cruise

0:14:33 > 0:14:35and of course she wasn't on ships,

0:14:35 > 0:14:39- although there are women serving on Royal Naval ships today.- Yeah.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42What's it like being on a cruise? Aren't you still itching to get on the bridge

0:14:42 > 0:14:44or go below decks and have a look at the engine room?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46In actual fact, you don't.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's all sectioned off and you've got your certain areas

0:14:49 > 0:14:50which you can walk around in.

0:14:50 > 0:14:55But getting to the bridge, down into the engine rooms - forget it.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57- DERMOT LAUGHS - OK.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Trevor, would you like to go first or second?

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Well, I'll go first, please.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04OK, Trevor.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08The boxer Floyd Mayweather represented which country

0:15:08 > 0:15:11at the Olympics in 1996?

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Well, I think he had a good career afterwards in the professional ranks

0:15:16 > 0:15:19but he represented America. USA.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Yep, America and USA is correct.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Good start, Trevor.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Barry, in which of these sports is a player penalised

0:15:28 > 0:15:31when committing a deliberate knock-on?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36I'd like to see that as a penalty in tennis, I really would.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38But I feel the answer... Well, I know the answer to this.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40It's rugby league.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Yes, it is rugby league.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44I don't know how you'd enforce it in tennis.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Trevor, second question.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49Which international cricket team has played home test matches

0:15:49 > 0:15:52at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground?

0:15:52 > 0:15:56S-I-N-H-A-L-E-S-E.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02That sounds very much to me like Sri Lanka.

0:16:02 > 0:16:03It is, yes. Well done.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Right answer there.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09And, Barry, in which branch of motorsports

0:16:09 > 0:16:13did Coventry-born Cal Crutchlow make his debut in 2011?

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Not aware of him in Formula One.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24He's World Rally Cars and MotoGP.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26I think I'll go for MotoGP.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28That is the right answer, Barry.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31It's all square again. Two each.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Trevor, Non Stanford from Wales

0:16:34 > 0:16:38became women's world champion in which sport in 2013?

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Her first name is spelt N-O-N.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45Non Stanford.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48I don't think she's a fencer.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Um...

0:16:52 > 0:16:56I haven't heard anything about tri... I'm going to go for taekwondo.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59OK. Taekwondo for Non Stanford.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00It's not the right answer.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02It's incorrect. Barry, do you know?

0:17:02 > 0:17:04- I think she's a triathlete.- Yes.

0:17:04 > 0:17:09It's triathlon for Non Stanford, which gives Barry a chance here.

0:17:09 > 0:17:13In 2013, the new San Mames Stadium

0:17:13 > 0:17:16replaced the original stadium of the same name

0:17:16 > 0:17:18as the home of which Spanish football team?

0:17:22 > 0:17:25It's spelt 'San' and then M-A-M-E-S.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29I've heard of this stadium, but where is it?

0:17:29 > 0:17:32I don't think it's Atletico Madrid.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34San Mames, is it...?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Is it a Basque stadium?

0:17:36 > 0:17:39I'm going to go for Athletic Bilbao.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41OK.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44You've got it, Barry. It is the right answer.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46It's Athletic Bilbao, which means, again,

0:17:46 > 0:17:49just edged you out there.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51The player from Up Funnel Down Screw, Trevor,

0:17:51 > 0:17:54you won't be in the final round. Barry, you've got a place.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Well, that now means that Up Funnel Down Screw have lost three brains

0:18:00 > 0:18:04from the final round and the Eggheads are unscathed as yet.

0:18:04 > 0:18:09Let's change that situation with our final head-to-head. It's Geography.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12So, who'd like to play this from Julian or Alastair?

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Geography.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18- I will.- OK. Julian. And you can choose from Kevin or Judith.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Um, what a choice.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Judith. I'd love to choose Judith. - OK.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29Well, let's have Julian and Judith into the Question Room now, please.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33OK, Julian, let's see if we can get you through here

0:18:33 > 0:18:35to keep Alastair company in the final round.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Would you like to go first or second?

0:18:37 > 0:18:40I would like to go first, please, Dermot.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45OK, best of luck. Here you go, Julian.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47What is the name of the coastal inlet

0:18:47 > 0:18:51on which the New Zealand city of Gisborne is located?

0:18:56 > 0:18:59Well, I must admit, those three don't mean anything

0:18:59 > 0:19:01to me at the moment.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03But, um...

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Hardship, Destitution and Poverty, wow.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Um...- Yeah, what a collection. - What a collection.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14Oh, I'll go for Destitution Sound.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16OK. Destitution Sound.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17I wonder if any of your colleagues

0:19:17 > 0:19:20in the extensive naval careers ever made it that far.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21No, unfortunately.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23- My daughter did though. Later on. - OK.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28And they think it's Poverty Bay,

0:19:28 > 0:19:30which it is. Poverty Bay.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Not Destitution Sound.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34OK. Judith, your first question.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38The Cyclades is a group of islands in which body of water?

0:19:40 > 0:19:44Well, they're Greek, so they are in the Aegean.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45- Not the north?- No.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50No. They are of course in the Aegean Sea. The Cyclades.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52OK. You've got that lead then, Judith.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Julian, here's your next question.

0:19:55 > 0:19:59Kosice, a European capital of culture in 2013,

0:19:59 > 0:20:01is the second-largest city in which country?

0:20:05 > 0:20:09Kosice. K-O-S-I-C-E.

0:20:10 > 0:20:15Um... I have to admit, Dermot, I'm not familiar with the city.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16But...

0:20:17 > 0:20:20I will go for... Slovakia.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Well done. You've got it.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Well done. You are off the mark.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27OK, Judith.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31At 1,726 feet high,

0:20:31 > 0:20:35Great Cockup is a prominence in which national park?

0:20:39 > 0:20:44How do you spell...? I can't hear whether it's Cocker or Cockup.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46I...

0:20:46 > 0:20:48You're just getting me to say it again.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50SHE LAUGHS

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Great Cockup.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56C-O-C-K-U-P. Cockup.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58SHE LAUGHS

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Um, I've never heard of it.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02It doesn't sound Welsh, though.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Do you want me to say it again?- No, no, it's all right. I can hear.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Great Cockup. Um...

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Is... I don't think it's the Brecon Beacons,

0:21:13 > 0:21:16cos I'm sure it would have some more Welsh-sounding name.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20So, it's either Lake District or Dartmoor.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23I think it's more likely to be the Lake District

0:21:23 > 0:21:25cos there are more mountains there.

0:21:25 > 0:21:26OK.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29It's in the... I'm not going to say it again. It's in the Lake District.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31It is correct. Well done.

0:21:31 > 0:21:32Lucky.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34You got it. So, you've got that lead back,

0:21:34 > 0:21:37which means that you do need this, Julian.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40The Mexican peninsula of Baja California

0:21:40 > 0:21:42is roughly how many miles long?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Yes, that's quite a choice.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54I don't think it's 760.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57That'd be... That's quite a distance.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Um...

0:21:59 > 0:22:02And my life depends on this, doesn't it?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05So, I will go for...

0:22:05 > 0:22:06180.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10OK, 180 for Baja California.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12What do you think, Judith?

0:22:12 > 0:22:13I don't know either.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Just for the sake of saying something different, I'll say 370.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- OK, that's good to know because it's 760.- Oh!

0:22:19 > 0:22:21So, you would have been wrong as well,

0:22:21 > 0:22:24which means, well, good news for you, Judith.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25You're in the final round as well.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27And, Julian, you won't be there.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Alastair will be navigating the final round on his own.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36So, this is what we'd been playing towards.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38It's time for the final round,

0:22:38 > 0:22:40which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:22:42 > 0:22:44won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48So, Julian, Patrick, Trevor and Arthur from Up Funnel Down Screw,

0:22:48 > 0:22:50would you all leave the studio, please?

0:22:52 > 0:22:57So, Alastair, you're playing to win Up Funnel Down Screw £6,000.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Kevin, CJ, Barry, Chris and Judith,

0:22:59 > 0:23:02you're all playing for something which money can't buy -

0:23:02 > 0:23:04the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07And, as usual, I'm going to ask each team three questions in turn.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09This time the questions are all General Knowledge

0:23:09 > 0:23:10and you are allowed to confer.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12So, Alastair, the question is,

0:23:12 > 0:23:14is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?

0:23:14 > 0:23:16And Alastair, what do you want to do?

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Do you want to go first or second in the final round?

0:23:18 > 0:23:19I'll go first. Yes, thank you.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25OK. First question for you, Alastair.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27The village of Craster, in Northumberland,

0:23:27 > 0:23:30is famous for which of these products?

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Well, the answer is kippers.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38- It is.- It's too easy, that one.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40- DERMOT LAUGHS - Well, don't complain.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Too easy. OK, well, let's hope they're all too easy for you.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Kippers is the right answer. Off to a good start.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Eggheads, which scientist spent over 40 years working

0:23:51 > 0:23:54with chimpanzees in Tanzania?

0:23:56 > 0:23:58THEY ALL LAUGH

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Which scientists spent over 40 years working

0:24:01 > 0:24:02with chimpanzees in Tanzania?

0:24:02 > 0:24:04How much do you want it to be Dawkins?

0:24:04 > 0:24:05THEY CHUCKLE

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I think we'd know, wouldn't we?

0:24:07 > 0:24:09OK? Everybody happy with Jane Goodall?

0:24:09 > 0:24:11That was Jane Goodall.

0:24:11 > 0:24:12Jane Goodall...

0:24:12 > 0:24:14is the right answer, Eggheads.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16One all.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20Alastair, in 2010, Bill Gates and which other tycoon

0:24:20 > 0:24:25established the Giving Pledge campaign to encourage billionaires

0:24:25 > 0:24:28to give at least half of their wealth to charity?

0:24:33 > 0:24:36Yeah, um, I don't know the answer to that one.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38I don't think it was Carlos Slim.

0:24:39 > 0:24:45Lakshmi Mittal is the Indian steel tycoon.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48And Warren Buffett is the 'Sage of Omaha'.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50And I think probably it's Warren Buffett

0:24:50 > 0:24:54because he comes from the same country as did...

0:24:54 > 0:24:56thingy.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00- The chap you said first up.- Bill Gates.- Bill Gates. Yeah, of course.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03- OK. Going for...?- I'm going for Warren Buffett.- Warren Buffett.

0:25:03 > 0:25:04Same country as Bill Gates, of course.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07It is the right answer. Yes, well done.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Two to you.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Eggheads, the Conservative MP Owen Paterson was appointed

0:25:14 > 0:25:17to which position in September 2012?

0:25:22 > 0:25:23- He founded...- Defra.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Yeah.- Yeah, he's environmental.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29Cos in international development, there was Justine Greening.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30He's to do with the badger cull.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32He's to do with the badger cull.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33Environment Secretary, yes.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36That is Environment Secretary.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Environment Secretary for Owen Paterson

0:25:38 > 0:25:40appointed in September 2012.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43It is the right answer, Eggheads. Yes.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45OK. Right.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Going well, Alastair. Third question.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Which author, born in 1972,

0:25:50 > 0:25:53wrote the novels Instructions For A Heatwave

0:25:53 > 0:25:56and The Hand That First Held Mine?

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Blind guess, I'm afraid. It really is.

0:26:03 > 0:26:08I don't know either of the novels or any of the three authors.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12So, eenie meenie miney moe, Sarah Hall.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15OK, Sarah Hall for those novels, Instructions For A Heatwave

0:26:15 > 0:26:17and The Hand That First Held Mine.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19What do you think, Eggheads? Is it Sarah Hall?

0:26:19 > 0:26:23- No idea.- No idea.- Might be. Well, I don't think it is Sarah Hall, no.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25But as between the other two...

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Maggie O'Farrell, maybe.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29It is, I'm afraid, Maggie O'Farrell.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32As you said, it was an outright guess, Alastair.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34One in three and didn't identify it.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37So, the Eggheads have got a chance to win a game here.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Eggheads, under what name did the singer James Marcus Smith

0:26:40 > 0:26:46have a number of UK hits in the 1960s, including Hold Me and Maria?

0:26:51 > 0:26:53- It's not Del Shannon.- No.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57Um, I'm pretty sure it's not Billy J Kramer. I think it is PJ Proby.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59- PJ Proby.- Yes, I'd be happy with that as well.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01I think his name was James Smith.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Billy J Kramer came from Liverpool.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Anybody, any firmer knowledge?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07No.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09- PJ Proby was a made-up name. - No idea.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12Yeah, oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. I think it's him.

0:27:12 > 0:27:13Who?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15- I think it's PJ Proby.- It is.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18I...agree with you. It's definitely not Del Shannon.

0:27:19 > 0:27:23- So...OK?- Yeah. Let's hope we don't rip anything with this one.

0:27:23 > 0:27:24Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26I think that's PJ Proby.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29PJ Proby. What are you talking about? Ripped trousers?

0:27:29 > 0:27:31Yes. PJ Proby was renowned for his trousers splitting

0:27:31 > 0:27:33while performing on stage.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Wasn't while he was visiting that place in the Lake District, was it?

0:27:36 > 0:27:38That's what I thought of.

0:27:38 > 0:27:42OK. Serious business, you're going for PJ Proby.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51Well, very generous there, Alastair. You did well.

0:27:51 > 0:27:52Two out of three ain't bad,

0:27:52 > 0:27:55- but it doesn't win the money today. - No, unfortunately not.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57Well, listen, bad luck, Up Funnel Down Screw.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59You didn't really get going in those head-to-heads,

0:27:59 > 0:28:02which means that you had a difficult task there in the final round.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04But thank you very much indeed for coming to tell us

0:28:04 > 0:28:07all about the HMS Warrior and all the work in the historic dockyards.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09I know there's a lot more to see that, isn't there,

0:28:09 > 0:28:11- than just the Warrior? - There is indeed.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15It's a very full day's excursion to go and see the three ships there.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18- OK.- Plus the museum.- Oh, right. Well, what about it, Eggheads?

0:28:18 > 0:28:22Let's fire up the Quattro and get down there, shall we?

0:28:22 > 0:28:24OK. Well, listen, thank you very much indeed

0:28:24 > 0:28:25for playing the Eggheads once again.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28But those Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them

0:28:28 > 0:28:30and their winning streak continues.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £6,000.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35That means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38So, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:38 > 0:28:39And join us next time to see

0:28:39 > 0:28:42if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46£7,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
