0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And taking on the awesome might of our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are the Repton Reprobates.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This team of friends have amongst their number two men who have
0:00:41 > 0:00:45won the prestigious Lord Mayor of Birmingham's Mega Quiz not once
0:00:45 > 0:00:47but twice, no less. Let's meet them!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm James, I'm 38.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I run a recruitment and personnel business
0:00:51 > 0:00:53and a part-time radio presenter.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Roger, I'm 64 and I'm an LGV driver.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Geoff, I'm a 67-year-old semi-retired laboratory analyst.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm George, I'm 48 years old and I'm an internet radio presenter.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Chris, I'm 36 and I'm an event manager.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Well, welcome to you, the Repton Reprobates.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14We'll talk about the "reprobates" bit in a moment
0:01:14 > 0:01:16but what about the quizzing?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Who is it that's won the Lord Mayor's Mega Quiz?- Roger and Geoff.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Ah! Hello there!
0:01:22 > 0:01:23And I would point out, Dermot,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26that CJ finished 16th, the night we finished it.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I won't mention it again!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And I believe you quiz... You've met Pat? You've quizzed against him as well?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Yeah, I have, yeah.- Who won that?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- That gentleman over there.- Oh, dear.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41And Judith. We did a charity quiz and the prize was to play them.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Now, what about the team name? What do you get up to, then, Reprobates?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Well, really, we're from Repton, hence the name,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and Reprobates - we're a ragtag bunch that have come together
0:01:52 > 0:01:56and thought it was quite an apt name, to be honest.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57It is. Very nice indeed.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01And hopefully, one that will lead to the defeat of the Eggheads today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Let's find out what happens.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:04 > 0:02:06up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13So, Repton Reprobates, the Eggheads have won the last seven games
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and that means £8,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So let's play the game
0:02:19 > 0:02:23and our first head-to-head is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Who would you like to pick from the Reprobates to play this?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Who's going for it?- I'll go for it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Shall we kick off with a winner and put Geoff in, or...?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Geoff's better at geography than I am.- Nobody else want to take it?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40If we go with the geography and kick off with a winning start...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- I'll have a go with it. - OK, Geoff, you're going to play.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- And who would you like to play from the Eggheads?- I'll try Judith.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49All waiting there expectantly
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and the fickle finger of fate has fallen upon Judith.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Geoff and Judith, into the Question Room, please.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58OK, Geoff, let's see
0:02:58 > 0:03:01if you can get the Repton Reprobates off to a great start.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04It's Geography. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I'll go first, Dermot, please.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13OK. Got your first question here, then, Geoff. Here it comes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18The forest and chateau of Fontainebleau lie to the south of which European city?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Well, it's certainly not Vienna.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I don't think it's Madrid.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I think, actually, it's in France,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31so I'm going to go for Paris.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Paris is the correct answer. Good start.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36And Judith, your first question.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Which peninsula is situated between the Gulf of Suez
0:03:40 > 0:03:41and the Gulf of Aqaba?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I think that might be the Sinai Peninsula.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50It is. That is the correct answer, Judith.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52OK, Geoff, second question.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57The Dogon people are an ethnic group living on which continent?
0:04:00 > 0:04:01So it's either Asia or Africa.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06There's something in the back of my mind - I could be wrong...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I'm going to go for Africa.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14OK, the Dogon people live in Africa - it's the right answer.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18And Judith, in 2012,
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Liverpool was put on the UNESCO list of world heritage in danger
0:04:22 > 0:04:27because of proposals to build what in the maritime mercantile city?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Er...
0:04:33 > 0:04:36All cities seem to have motorways and skyscrapers wrecking them
0:04:36 > 0:04:39at the moment, so I think...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I mean, I have no idea, but I would...
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It could be like the Thames Barrage or something like that.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It could be a dam.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49OK.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52No, it's incorrect. It is skyscrapers.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56So, a chance for you to win through to the final round, Geoff.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59The southern start of the long-distance walking path
0:04:59 > 0:05:02known as the Midshires Way is in which English county?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I don't actually know this, but, er,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Oxfordshire is north of Buckinghamshire
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and I think Hertfordshire is south of Buckinghamshire,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19so it's either going to be Hertfordshire or Buckinghamshire,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22and I'm going to go for Buckinghamshire.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25OK, for the start of the Midshires Way.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It is the right answer.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32You're through to the final round, Geoff.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Well, after the opening exchanges, the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43The Repton Reprobates are all there
0:05:43 > 0:05:46and our second head-to-head is Politics.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Who wants to play this, Reprobates?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Have we got a volunteer? - I'm glad I've already gone.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Have we got a volunteer? Christopher?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- George?- I could do, but I don't think I would get any.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Politicians don't know a lot about politics -
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- I don't know why we should. - We need a volunteer, boys.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Not me for politics. I got three out of three the other day, but it were luck.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Do you want to be a sacrificial lamb on this one, or...?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Yeah, if we want to get three wrong, I'll happily...
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- It's about taking part. Go on.- OK. - Yes, I'm the lamb to the slaughter.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19All right, Chris, who would you like to take into the Question Room?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Any suggestions, guys?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22I don't know - it's up to you.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Shall we go with Chris?- Yeah, Chris. - We'll go with Chris and Chris.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30All right, a double Chris. Both of you into the Question Room, please.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34So, Chris from the Reprobates,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36you set your expectation levels pretty low.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42So just one on the board will be an improvement on what you predicted.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Would you like to go first or second?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Er, I'll go second, please.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Chris from the Eggheads begins.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Chris, for what does the letter N stand in the name
0:06:55 > 0:06:58of the South African political party the ANC?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's the African National Congress, so it's National.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06National is correct.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Off to a good start and I'm sure Chris from the Reprobates
0:07:08 > 0:07:09would have got that.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Oh, yes!- Let's see if you get this.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Which First Lady of the United States
0:07:15 > 0:07:18led the Just Say No anti-drugs campaign of the 1980s?
0:07:23 > 0:07:241980s...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Um...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I don't think it was Rosalynn Carter.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I'm feeling it's between Laura Bush and Nancy Reagan.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I've just got a stronger gut feeling for Nancy Reagan,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42so I hope and wish that that is the correct answer.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43It's the right answer.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Already surpassed your predictions.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50OK.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Chris from the Eggheads, Natalie Bennett became
0:07:52 > 0:07:56the leader of which party in England and Wales in 2012?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Well, it's not UKIP.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Well, a girl became leader of Plaid Cymru,
0:08:07 > 0:08:08but I don't think her name was Bennett.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12So, it had to be the Green Party.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Natalie Bennett became the leader of the Green Party, yes.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23And, Chris, from the Repton Reprobates,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26what name is given to the unsuccessful attempt
0:08:26 > 0:08:28to stage an insurrection against the government in
0:08:28 > 0:08:30the south of Scotland in 1820?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Um...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Again, I don't have a clue.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40But...
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I'm sure I remember something about the Rebel War
0:08:43 > 0:08:45in history lessons at school,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48whereas Radical and Real War don't ring as many bells for me.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51So, I'm going to go with the Rebel War.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54The Rebel War in 1820.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55It's not. It's incorrect.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Do you know, Chris?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Yeah, they were political radicals, so it was the Radical War.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Well, a chance for Chris from the Eggheads to win the round here.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Chris, in which year did the 21st amendment to the US Constitution
0:09:10 > 0:09:14repeal the prohibition of alcohol imposed by the 18th amendment?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21The Volstead Act was 1919 that brought it in
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and it was repealed in 1933.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28OK. Well, a full answer there, clearly you know it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29It is the right answer,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Chris, from the Eggheads,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33which means you are through to the final round.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36No place for you, Chris, from the Reprobates.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39We'll never know, cos I don't get to put in another question to you.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- I'll say you got two. - Oh, brilliant.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'm sure you'll have got your third one.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45But I'm not going to ask you.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Mr Hughes from the Eggheads winning the battle of the Chrises,
0:09:53 > 0:09:54which means, as it stands now,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57both teams have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Round Three is Sport.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Who would like to play this? It can't be Jeff or Chris, of course.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- No.- Foreign language. - It would have been me.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- It must be me, then.- Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11That will be me.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13James, who will you choose from the Eggheads?
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Judith and Chris have played, so it can be Dave, Pat or Barry.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23OK, I'll take Barry on, please.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Let's have James and Barry into the Question Room now, please.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29James, you're playing Sport.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I believe you met Muhammad Ali a very long time ago.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36It was. My father used to be a professional referee.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41And bizarrely enough, Muhammad Ali came over to Nuneaton Town to watch
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Nuneaton Town versus Bedworth in a charity-based game.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Long story.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51But he went round the pitch throwing tennis balls out with his name on
0:10:51 > 0:10:55and, luckily, I was able to get back scene and have a photo taken.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Fond memories.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Let's play the Sport round.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Do you want to go first or second?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I'll go first, please.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07James, here's your question.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11What is the name of the home ground of the football club Aston Villa?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18What's the name of the home ground of Aston Villa?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Coming from the Midlands, although a Derby County fan,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I shouldn't really know this, but certainly not Villa Bridge,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28it's not Villa Cottage, it's Villa Park.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30It is, yes. Villa Park.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Good start.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Barry, which of these sports involve
0:11:36 > 0:11:39people competing on motorised vehicles?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well, they certainly go fast enough
0:11:44 > 0:11:47to look as if they're competing on motorised vehicles in luge,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50but I'm sure the answer to this must be speedway.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It could be robot horses in dressage.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Well, maybe that's in years to come.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57It is the right answer.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00James,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03which former England cricket captain
0:12:03 > 0:12:06became president of the Marylebone Cricket Club in 2013?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Ooh...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Now, not too sure on this.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I'm going to rule out Mike Atherton
0:12:19 > 0:12:22simply because I think he's too young for it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I'm going to take a guess at one of the Mikes,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30and hopefully I'll be right with that part, Mike Gatting.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yes, I can confirm it's a Mike.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36A lot of England captains called Mike, aren't they?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Gatting is the right answer.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Well picked out.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Barry, which Australian tennis player partnered Britain's
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Ann Jones to win the Wimbledon Mixed Doubles title in 1969?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Oh, I've not heard of Cliff Richey.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I'm going to rule him out straightaway.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01McMillan or Stolle?
0:13:01 > 0:13:06They were both good, fine tennis players in the '70s.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08So, which one is it?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09I'm going to go for Fred Stolle.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Fred Stolle and Ann Jones...
0:13:12 > 0:13:14..is the right answer. Well done.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17It's all square. Both quizzing very well.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Third question for you, James.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Which track event did the athlete Kevin Young
0:13:23 > 0:13:25set a world record in 1992?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The name just doesn't ring a bell...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40with certainly the 110 metre hurdles.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Possibly the 400 metre hurdles.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Which leaves it the steeplechase.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Process of nomination, I'll have to go for the 3,000 metre steeplechase.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53OK, the steeplechase for Kevin Young.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It's incorrect.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57It's not the right answer, James. Barry?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I would have gone for the 400 metre hurdles.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Yeah, it is the 400 metre hurdles.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05There's a chance for you, Barry.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07You get through if you give me a correct answer here.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Barry, the Tirreno-Adriatico, known as the Race of the Two Seas,
0:14:12 > 0:14:13is an event in which sport?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I can't see anybody swimming between the Adriatic
0:14:20 > 0:14:24and any of the seas on the other side of it, obviously.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26And...
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Ballooning, that's a bit hit and miss
0:14:28 > 0:14:30as to where you go with the winds.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33So I can see somebody cycling across Italy
0:14:33 > 0:14:37from the Adriatic to the Ligurian Sea, so I'll go for cycling.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Cycling for the Tirreno-Adriatico...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42..is the right answer, yes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44You've got it, Barry, so you are in the final round,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46depriving James of a place.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Sorry about that, James.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54As it stands, the Repton Reprobates have lost two brains
0:14:54 > 0:14:57from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00So let's play our last head-to-head before the final round.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01It's Film & TV.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Who wants to take this on?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05You've only got two players eligible - Roger or George?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07THEY CONFER
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- George.- Yeah, I'll take it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12All right, George. And who will you play from the Eggheads?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- You've got Pat or Dave there. - Who do you want in the last round?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Shall we take...
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Shall we take Pat on?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Yeah, I'll take Pat on.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23All right, let's have George and Pat into the Question Room now, please.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28OK, George, let's see if you can even it up and knock Pat out.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'll go second, I'll go second.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38That means Pat faces the first question.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Who played Danny Ocean in the 1960 film Ocean's Eleven?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I think Danny Ocean was the title character.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54He was the hub of the gang.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56And I think it was Frank Sinatra.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Frank Sinatra is the right answer, yes.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02And, George, your first question -
0:16:02 > 0:16:07in 2003, who won the second series of the talent show Pop Idol?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Hmm...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I know Gareth Gates was in the first Pop Idol
0:16:15 > 0:16:17and he came second after Will, so...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Rik...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It's between Rik and Michelle, really.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I'm going to have to go for Michelle McManus.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26I can remember it,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29but can't remember if it's second or third series.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30OK, Michelle McManus
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- is the right answer.- He's got it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Pat, the BBC News 24 channel was launched in which decade?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Well, it sounds like a digital channel.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52The appetite for round-the-clock TV and news TV
0:16:52 > 0:16:53is a fairly modern thing.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Definitely not the '70s.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58'80s versus '90s. I think it's '90s.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00OK, 1990s.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02It's the correct answer. Well done, Pat.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07OK, and to draw level,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10George, The Man And The Hour
0:17:10 > 0:17:12was the title of first episode
0:17:12 > 0:17:15of which long-running TV comedy programme
0:17:15 > 0:17:17first broadcast in 1968?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I don't know this one, so I'm just going to have to go
0:17:24 > 0:17:26for a bit of logic and a bit of guess, I think.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I don't think it's Dad's Army.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I think Steptoe And Son have always been called that,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36so I'll just have to go for Till Death Us Do Part.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It's got to be a guess, I'm afraid.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41OK, Till Death Us Do Part, with The Man And The Hour.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's not. I'm sorry, it's wrong. Pat?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'd be guessing, I don't know.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Other Eggheads?- Dad's Army.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It's Dad's Army. Right, well, Pat,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56this could win you the round.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59The American director and screenwriter Joss Whedon
0:17:59 > 0:18:02directed a film version of which Shakespeare play
0:18:02 > 0:18:04released in the UK in June 2013?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I've read reviews about this,
0:18:13 > 0:18:14about this film.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16And yet, I, um...
0:18:17 > 0:18:20..I'm not sure I'll be able to...
0:18:20 > 0:18:21answer with confidence.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I'm tempted by Much Ado About Nothing.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I'm just a bit concerned that there was the big version
0:18:29 > 0:18:33in the '90s, I suppose, with Emma Thompson and Keanu Reeves
0:18:33 > 0:18:34and all those sort of people.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37This is a strange one - I've read all about this,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40and yet the key fact has slipped from my memory.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I'm going to go for Much Ado About Nothing.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45The answer is...
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Much Ado About Nothing, you did remember it, Pat,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51so you have got through to the final round.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Bad luck, George. Again, we don't get to put another question to you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58It means Pat has ensured his place in that final round.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04And this is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06It's time for the final round,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:10 > 0:19:12won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16so James, George and Chris from the Repton Reprobates
0:19:16 > 0:19:19and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:19:21 > 0:19:26So, Roger and Geoff, you are playing to win the Repton Reprobates £8,000.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Barry, Chris, Pat and Dave,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30you are playing for something which money cannot buy -
0:19:30 > 0:19:32the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35And as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38This time, the questions are all general knowledge
0:19:38 > 0:19:39and you are allowed to confer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41So, Repton Reprobates, the question is,
0:19:41 > 0:19:45are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Roger and Geoff, do you want to go first or second?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50We've took a vote amongst the team and he's told me we're going first.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Right, let's get on with it, then.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Final round and your first question.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02The novelty song from the early 1920s
0:20:02 > 0:20:04by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08apparently inspired by the words of a Greek fruit seller,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10is called Yes, We Have No...what?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I think that might be bananas.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19I've never heard a novelty songs, Yes, We Have No Melons, or Plums.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- I think it would be... - It's bananas.- ..bananas.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Yes, I think,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27if you're of my age, Dermot, you associate this song
0:20:27 > 0:20:32with slightly being inebriated, and it might be Yes, We Have No Bananas.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35OK. Yes, We Have No Bananas is the right answer.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Yes, of course. All right, Eggheads,
0:20:37 > 0:20:42for what does the letter A stand in the military acronym AWOL?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49For what does the letter A stand in the military acronym AWOL?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51ALL: Absent without leave.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52- We all "absent"?- Yeah.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Yeah?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Like me at school a lot of the time,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I think that's absent.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Absent without leave?- Yeah.- OK.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It is, yes. A for absent.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09And second question for the Repton Reprobates -
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Newsbeat is particularly associated with which BBC radio station?
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Newsbeat is particularly associated with which BBC radio station?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24It's not Radio 2, it's not Radio 4.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26It's got to be Radio 1.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Don't they have it on about quarter to the hour or something like that?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34We're going to go with the process of elimination on this.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Again, age inspired - Radio 4, I don't think so,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Radio 2, I can't remember hearing it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43And I never listen to Radio 1,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45so it must be Radio 1, then, Dermot.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47OK, he eliminated the other two,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and it is Radio 1, it's the right answer.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Eggheads, the pseudoscience phrenology studied
0:21:55 > 0:21:58which part of the body to determine people's personalities?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05The pseudoscience phrenology studied which part of the body
0:22:05 > 0:22:07to determine people's personalities?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- ALL: Skulls. - We're on for skull, aren't we?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Mambrino or somebody.- Yeah.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Skull. Skull, we're all agreed, yeah?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17We're going to go for skull, Dermot.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20OK, phrenology relating to the skull -
0:22:20 > 0:22:22it's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25So, it's all square, and a third question coming your way,
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Repton Reprobates.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30What name was given to a raucous procession formerly
0:22:30 > 0:22:32common in village and country districts,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35typically designed to ridicule a husband or wife
0:22:35 > 0:22:38for marital mistreatment or infidelity?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45What name was given to a raucous procession
0:22:45 > 0:22:48formerly common in village and country districts,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51typically designed to ridicule a husband or wife
0:22:51 > 0:22:54for marital mistreatment or infidelity?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58I don't know. I've never heard of any of the three.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59It would be a complete and utter guess.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Yep. What are we going for, then?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- I think it's the middle one. - Sorry?- I think the middle one.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06If you're more confident, we'll go for that.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Based on the fact it's a pure guess,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09we'll go for the middle one.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Skimmington.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11A skimmington.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Punishing a husband or wife
0:23:14 > 0:23:17for marital mistreatment or infidelity...
0:23:17 > 0:23:19it's a skimmington, it's correct.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Well done, nice one.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Listen, you are in the lead at 3-2,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25and it means the Eggheads need to get this.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28In the children's book by Eleanor H Porter,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31what is the surname of Pollyanna?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36In the children's book by Eleanor H Porter,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39what is the surname of Pollyanna?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- I don't know.- Well, she's Canadian, isn't she?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Yeah.- So that tends to suggest probably Whittier.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- That tends to suggest Whittier to me. ALL:- Mm.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Trotter...well...
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Pollyanna Trotter? No, it doesn't ring any bells, that.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Pollyanna Hatcher - no.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Pollyanna Whittier?
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Hm.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59It could be Hatcher, but I doubt it.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Doesn't sound... Whittier does feel authentically Canadian somehow.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Mm.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- It was definitely Canadian, wasn't it?- Oh, yeah.- Yeah.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Oh, we could go on for ever about this, couldn't we?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Yeah.- We could. And this is the only instinct we've got.- Yeah.- Mm-hm.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14So are we all agreed, Whittier?
0:24:14 > 0:24:15- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18We don't know this, as you can hear from the debate...
0:24:21 > 0:24:25..but we're going to go for Whittier.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Whittier. You were reduced to saying, "What sounds Canadian?"
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Yes.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32OK.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36It's correct.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Well done, Chris.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43OK, well, it's all square. I rather expected this, given
0:24:43 > 0:24:46the quality on your side, Repton Reprobates.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47We are going to Sudden Death.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49So, we are going to remove the options.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51We need to sort out a winner,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53so you've just got to tell me straight out.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56You won't have anything to have a guess at, should you need to guess.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Here you go.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Oh What A Circus is the title of the first volume
0:25:01 > 0:25:04of which British lyricist's autobiography?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Oh What A Circus is the title of the first volume
0:25:08 > 0:25:10of which British lyricist's autobiography?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Rice.- Yes.- I would think. - He wrote Evita.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- He wrote the lyrics, didn't he? - Yeah.- That would be my guess.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Well, we're not sure, but we know that that's from Evita,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21so we'll go for Sir Tim Rice.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Sir Tim Rice...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25is the right answer, yes.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Picked up on the title, there. Oh What A Circus.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Will that answer mean you lose the money here, Eggheads?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Your question, you need to get this, as you know.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Who directed the films Three Days Of The Condor and Tootsie?
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Who directed the films Three Days Of The Condor and Tootsie?
0:25:41 > 0:25:42I think Tootsie is Sydney Pollack.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Sydney Pollack.- I think it was Sydney Pollack, yeah.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- I think it was Sydney Pollack, yeah. - It's Sydney Pollack.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Is it? Yeah? We're all agreed? - Yeah.- Happy.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- We're going to go for Sydney Pollack, yeah?- Yeah.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Sydney Pollack.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Sydney Pollack is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57You've got it. On we go.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00What a round. OK, Repton Reprobates,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04La Movida was the phrase used to describe
0:26:04 > 0:26:08the flowering of popular culture in which European country
0:26:08 > 0:26:10in the 1970s and '80s?
0:26:10 > 0:26:15La Movida, M-O-V-I-D-A, was the phrase used to describe
0:26:15 > 0:26:18the flowering of popular culture in which European country
0:26:18 > 0:26:21in the 1970s and '80s?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- You've got to look at the definite article, that's "la".- Sounds Latin.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Yeah.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Portuguese?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Did Portuguese culture...?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- I don't know.- Is it Italy, though?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I don't know. It just sounds Latin-ish.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37It's got to be a guess...
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Well, we don't know, but we're going for the Latin definite article,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44and we're going to say Italy, Dermot.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46OK, Italy for La Movida -
0:26:46 > 0:26:50the phrase used to describe the flowering of popular culture in...
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I'm afraid it's incorrect.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54It's the first one you got wrong in the final round. It's not Italy.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Do you know, Eggheads?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Post-Franco Spain.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59It was Spain we were looking for.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03So, a chance for the Eggheads here.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Mary of Guise was the mother of which Scottish monarch?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Mary of Guise, G-U-I-S-E.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Mary of Guise was the mother of which Scottish monarch?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Mary Queen of Scots, wasn't it?- Yeah...
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Did she feature in the film Elizabeth?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Fanny Ardant plays...Mary of Guise.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24They had her assassinated, which didn't happen in real life.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- I'm sure it was Mary Queen of Scots. - OK, yep.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Mary Queen of Scots.- Yeah. Mary Stuart, yeah.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Right, Mary Queen of Scots.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34We're going to go for Mary Queen of Scots, Dermot.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Mary of Guise was the mother of...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Mary Queen of Scots, it's correct. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Just a bit of extra information for Geoff, asking if she was murdered.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Well, in one of the films, in Elizabeth,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54it showed her as being murdered, but she wasn't.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Yeah, I think that's a fact. - Oh, I see.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Well, you can continue those discussions -
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I see you're both hungry for the facts.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02It shows what a good quizzing side you were and are,
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Repton Reprobates.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Thank you very much indeed for giving the Eggheads a good run for
0:28:06 > 0:28:09their money today, particularly that final round, but it wasn't to be.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:12 > 0:28:13and their winning streak continues -
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £8,000.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19That means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22So, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24And join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:24 > 0:28:28have the brains to defeat the Eggheads - £9,000 says they don't.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Until then, goodbye.
