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 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are The Barrow Independents from Barrow-in-Furness.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This team are all independent custody visitors who work to ensure
0:00:42 > 0:00:47that the rights of people held in police custody are being met.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Hello, my name's Lynne.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53I'm 58 years old and I'm a retired NHS director.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Les, I'm 56 and I'm an engineer.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, my name is Sheila. I am 64 years of age
0:00:59 > 0:01:02and I am a retired NHS worker.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hello, my name's Geoff, I'm 67 years old.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm a retired driving instructor.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Amanda, I'm 21 and I'm a revenues officer.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Welcome to you, Barrow Independents. Tell me about the work first of all.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16A lot of people don't really know about the very important role
0:01:16 > 0:01:19that people like you play and, just in a nutshell, how does it work?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Well, we all make unannounced visits to the police station,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25in our case in Barrow-in-Furness.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28There are a panel of 12 of us and we go in pairs
0:01:28 > 0:01:33and our role is to visit people who are detained in police custody
0:01:33 > 0:01:36to ensure that they're being detained appropriately and that
0:01:36 > 0:01:40their welfare needs and their legal needs and so on are being met.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Fascinating. I mean, how do you get the job?
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Do you have to have legal training?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46No, not legal training
0:01:46 > 0:01:49but we were appointed on behalf of the Home Office
0:01:49 > 0:01:53by the police and crime commissioner
0:01:53 > 0:01:57and we've got right of access any time of day or night,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59365 days a year.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Tell me about the quizzing though, this is what we're here to do today.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04THEY LAUGH
0:02:04 > 0:02:06You must be a formidable quiz team, I hope.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Well, not exactly.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11But we're very willing.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13That'll do!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Right, the willing Barrow Independents
0:02:15 > 0:02:17taking on the Eggheads today.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Now, every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:19 > 0:02:22for all our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28So, Barrow Independents, the Eggheads have won the last 11 games,
0:02:28 > 0:02:33it means £12,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Let's play, shall we?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Our opening round is Geography.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Who'd like to take this one on?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40- Erm, Geoff?- Geoff, I think.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Well, I think that's me.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I like... When they all looked down to you, Geoff, you went that way.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49But it's you. OK, Geoff, who will it be from the Eggheads
0:02:49 > 0:02:52that you're going to challenge?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- CJ, you think?- CJ.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56CJ loves geography.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Yes, I don't know.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02The one in the middle over there, he looks quite good on geography
0:03:02 > 0:03:05but I think we want English geography, please, I think.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09You've got it, yes, you know that is his prowess.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11It's CJ and Geoff on this one.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15You both have to go to the Question Room, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Geoff, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I think I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24OK, good luck, Geoff. Here's your first question then.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29The small seaside resort of Dawlish Warren is in which English county?
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Dawlish Warren...
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, I've never heard of it. Erm...
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Right, well, I hope that this is logical.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It doesn't sound North Yorkshire
0:03:45 > 0:03:49and it doesn't sound Suffolk hopefully
0:03:49 > 0:03:52so I think I'll go for Devon.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53OK, sounds like it's in the West Country
0:03:53 > 0:03:56and it is, yes, Devon is correct.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03CJ, Castletown and Ramsey are towns on which British Crown dependency?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I'm sorry, are you talking to me?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I... I've got no idea!
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Erm...
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Well, there's not much on Lindisfarne, is there?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19There is something tiny ringing away that's telling me
0:04:19 > 0:04:22that Ramsey's on the Isle of Man.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Erm...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I'm glad I didn't get the last question
0:04:25 > 0:04:28because I didn't know that one either.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Erm...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I hope Ramsey's on the Isle of Man so I'll try Isle of Man.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35All right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Well, Geoff, there's hope for you here, isn't there?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41With this kind of confusion. I mean, there's another way of doing this
0:04:41 > 0:04:45because I asked on which British Crown dependency and clearly
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Lindisfarne and Anglesey are part of the United Kingdom itself.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53The Isle of Man is the only Crown dependency there
0:04:53 > 0:04:55and also contains Castletown and Ramsey.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Right, Geoff, well,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01you did well with Dawlish there. Your second question.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Which of these Egyptian cities lies on the Mediterranean cost?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Right. Erm...
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Well, I'm pretty certain it's not Aswan.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Erm, cos I'm thinking Aswan down, further up.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Erm...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22So I think it's Cairo or Alexandria
0:05:22 > 0:05:26and I'll go for Alexandria, please, Dermot.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Oh, thank goodness,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30it's the right answer, yes.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Yep, not Cairo and certainly not Aswan.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38OK, CJ, which Scottish industrial village became
0:05:38 > 0:05:42a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001?
0:05:45 > 0:05:52OK, I'm just going to have to go on again the very faintest of bells.
0:05:53 > 0:05:59There's something very, very small inkling about New Lanark
0:05:59 > 0:06:01so I'll try New Lanark.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You've inkled it again,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06it's the right answer. Yes, New Lanark.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09OK, New Lanark there identified by CJ
0:06:09 > 0:06:12and both going well,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16if a little tentatively, certainly on CJ's part.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Right, Geoff, third question.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22The city of Fargo stands just within North Dakota's border
0:06:22 > 0:06:24with which other state?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Right. Erm...
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Well, I think Mississippi is too far south.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Montana I think is too far west.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Yeah, I'll...
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I think I'll go for Minnesota, I think, please, Dermot,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- and hope for the best.- OK.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47You've got the right answer.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Minnesota bordering North Dakota there.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53And CJ,
0:06:53 > 0:06:58St Asaph, awarded city status in 2012, is in which county of Wales?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02EGGHEADS LAUGH
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Really hoping that you were asking which country of the UK it was in!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09OK.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Pembrokeshire is in the...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15..southwest.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Caerphilly's in the south
0:07:18 > 0:07:20and I think Denbighshire is in the north.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Oh, dear. I don't think it's Denbighshire.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I don't think it's in the north.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I just don't know how... Assuming it is in the south,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I just don't know how far across it is, whereabouts it is.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I will try Caerphilly.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37OK, Caerphilly for St Asaph.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Other Eggheads?- Denbighshire. - Denbighshire.- It's in the north.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Oh.- Denbighshire.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47OK, well, CJ, I thought...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51As you probably know CJ has much publicised, kind of, blind spots
0:07:51 > 0:07:53about British geography.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Wales is normally a stronger suit for him but look,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59it's let him down there and it means,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Geoff, you are in the final round.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Congratulations and no place for CJ.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Could you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10As it stands,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12The Barrow Independents are off to a flying start.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14They've knocked one Egghead out of the final round,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17they're all there because we've only played one round.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Let's play our next subject then and this one's Music.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Who'd like to take this one on from the Independents?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Yep, OK.- Good luck, dear. - I'll do Music.- Amanda.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28OK, Amanda, now choose an Egghead.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30It can't be CJ but any of the other four...
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Who do you think?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Well, not Dave, I don't think.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- No, he's too good on Music.- Erm... - Chris?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Barry's good on Music as well cos even some of the stuff you think
0:08:40 > 0:08:45- he doesn't know...- Go for Chris. - Go for Chris then, please.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Somebody taking my name in vain?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50That totally passed him by.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- You're playing, Chris.- Right-oh.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56It's Music. Would you both go to the Question Room, please?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00So what type of music do you like to listen to, Amanda?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Erm, just anything really. I like variation.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05OK, well, that's what you're going to get in this round.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Just for later stuff though, not the older stuff.- Oh, right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I'm not sure I can guarantee that.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Would you like to go first or second?- I will go first, please.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19And here's your first question then.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21In which year was Madonna's Like A Virgin
0:09:21 > 0:09:23first released in the UK as a single?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Erm, I don't think it was 1994.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I'm going to take a guess out of the other two.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38And I'll go for...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42..'84. 1984.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's the right answer, Amanda. Good start. Well done.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Chris, which spoof girl band formed by Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders
0:09:52 > 0:09:56and Kathy Burke had a charity single with Bananarama in 1989?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Erm...
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Yes, well, erm...
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's the first one, however you pronounce that.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Lalaneeneenoonoo.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Lalaneeneenoonoo?- Mm-hm.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Is the right answer having cleared that one up, well done.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20OK, Amanda, your second question.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24"I know a whoopee spot where the gin is cold but the piano's hot,"
0:10:24 > 0:10:27are lines from which song in the musical Chicago?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I have not... I don't really watch musicals.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38No, I've not watched Chicago so I'm not sure on this question.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Just going to have to be a stab in the dark.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I will go for...
0:10:42 > 0:10:44When You're Good To Mama.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47OK, When You're Good To Mama for, "Whoopee spot where the gin is cold
0:10:47 > 0:10:48"and the piano's hot."
0:10:48 > 0:10:51It's not. Do you know, Chris?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53# And all that jazz! #
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- All That Jazz.- It is, yes, All That Jazz.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Which means nothing there for you, Amanda.
0:10:58 > 0:11:04Chris, who released an album in 2013 entitled The Diving Board?
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Er...
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Not heard of anything new from Tom Jones.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Or Elton John but Elvis Costello's been making a bit of a comeback
0:11:19 > 0:11:21lately, I think, so I'll have to go with Elvis Costello.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Elvis Costello for The Diving Board.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Other Eggheads?- Elton John.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- It's Elton John.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32So no damage done, third question.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35The Italian song Con Te Partiro
0:11:35 > 0:11:39popularised by Andrea Bocelli with Sarah Brightman
0:11:39 > 0:11:41is known by what title in English?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Again, I have no idea on this one.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Erm...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54There's no logic behind this answer.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I'm going to go for the middle one again and say Time To Say Goodbye.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00If you didn't know it, were you thinking,
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- "Right, I'm just going to go down the middle?"- Yeah, down the middle.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Well, you've got two out of three because it's correct. Well done.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Which means you need this, Chris.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Human Racing is the title of the 1980s debut album
0:12:15 > 0:12:17by which British musician?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Human Racing...
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Heard one from three.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Nik Kershaw.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33You've got it, Chris.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36OK, well, some good guessing going on here
0:12:36 > 0:12:39from both participants. Means it's all square and, Amanda, I'm going
0:12:39 > 0:12:42to take us into Sudden Death and remove the options
0:12:42 > 0:12:44because you're both clearly so good at this
0:12:44 > 0:12:47but guessing's a lot harder in Sudden Death as you can imagine
0:12:47 > 0:12:50because we're not going to show you any options. Here you go.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55The B-side of Lee Marvin's hit single Wand'rin' Star
0:12:55 > 0:12:57was Clint Eastwood singing which song?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I don't even think I can take a guess at this one.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I'm not sure, my mind is blank.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06So I'm going to have pass, I think.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07All right, yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I mean, yeah, you could guess any combination of words
0:13:10 > 0:13:14and it's a really tough one but Chris might know it,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I mean cos he sings in the style of Wand'rin' Star.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19It's not They Call The Wind Maria, is it?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- No.- I Talk To The Trees. - It is! Yeah.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23That's why they put me away.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Yeah, it's all from the film, isn't it, Chris?- Yeah, Paint Your Wagon.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Paint Your Wagon, that's it.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34OK, well,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Amanda couldn't have a guess at that, no-one would blame her
0:13:37 > 0:13:39but, Chris, here's your question.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42India is the setting for which Delibes opera
0:13:42 > 0:13:46that had its premiere in 1883?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It's not The Pearl Fishers, that's Bizet. Erm...
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Lakme.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Lakme is the right answer, Chris,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56you have just got through to the final round,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58but well-played, Amanda.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01It'll be fine...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03No place in the final round I am afraid
0:14:03 > 0:14:07so would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Two rounds gone, it's all square.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Both teams have lost one brain from the final round
0:14:11 > 0:14:13and let's see our next subject.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15It's History
0:14:15 > 0:14:18so who'd like to play this one from The Barrow Independents? History.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Do you want me to...?- Do you want to try and save Les for the end?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Or Science, yeah.- Yeah.- Do you want me to go for it?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I mean, I'm useless at history but I'll go for it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Erm, yeah, OK, if you don't mind. - Go on, then.- Sheila.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Oh, stay with us, please, stay with us, Sheila.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Wait a minute, do wait a minute
0:14:34 > 0:14:37because you need someone to quiz against.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Might make it a bit more interesting.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Sheila, who would you like to play?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Erm...- History.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Just CJ and Chris have played so you can have Barry, Kevin or Dave.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- What about Dave?- Dave.- I think...
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- I would think Dave.- Dave. - I'll go with Dave.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I don't like the way Barry smiles. He's...
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Smile on the face of a shark.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Sort of sucking us in!
0:15:04 > 0:15:06So it's going to be Sheila and Dave, OK.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And, Sheila, I know you're keen to get started.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- I'm going to send you both... - I don't know why!
0:15:11 > 0:15:12..to the Question Room, please.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15So, Sheila, you're a poet?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Well, I try, yes.- Yes, good.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20But I mean you'd prefer then Arts & Books
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- or something like that, would you? - Certainly, yes.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26OK, but taking it for the team then, I guess.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Would you like to first or second? - First, please.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Off we go then. First History question is this.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Which of these names often used to mean the leader
0:15:37 > 0:15:40of a country's entire armed forces
0:15:40 > 0:15:43was used by the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well, I don't have a clue really.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Erm...
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I don't think it's privatisimo.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59My thought keeps going to captainisimo.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I think I will go with that.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03All right, captainisimo.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06No, it was the entire armed forces
0:16:06 > 0:16:10so right at the top there as generalisimo, I'm afraid,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13for Franco.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Dave, besides the UK, which country switched to decimalised currency
0:16:17 > 0:16:20on the 15th February 1971?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I've got to presume that's Ireland.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Yeah, the other two got there a little bit before that.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32It is the right answer, yes.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35OK, Sheila, let's get one on the board, I hope, here.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38The short-lived I'm Backing Britain productivity campaign
0:16:38 > 0:16:43began in 1968 when a group of secretaries in Surbiton
0:16:43 > 0:16:47decided to do how much extra work each day for no pay?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54This is a tough one again cos history is not the subject.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Erm...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I don't think it's two hours.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I don't think they'd do perhaps 30 minutes without any pay.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'll go for 10 minutes.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12OK, 10 minutes to kick off the I'm Backing Britain campaign.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16It's not, it's not ten minutes, sorry, Sheila.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Dave, I mean, it's a bit of a guess all round, isn't it?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- I'd go half an hour.- Yeah, it's half an hour, 30 minutes, OK.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Dave's second question.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27In which year was the Imperial War Museum first open to the public?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I think it's on the extremities.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Don't think they'd open it during a war.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- MUMBLES:- Well, how long...? How long would it be open?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I'll go 1920.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47So after the horrors of the First World War.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52It's the right answer, yep, well worked out, Dave. 1920.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Got that, Dave, which means, I'm sorry, Sheila,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59as you said it wasn't really your subject, we end the round there.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Dave's in the final round and we won't be seeing you there,
0:18:02 > 0:18:03- sorry, Sheila.- Fine, thank you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Well, the Eggheads inching back and inching into the lead as it stands.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13The Barrow Independents have lost two brains from the final round,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16the Eggheads have lost one. Will it be all square in the final round?
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Let's find out, shall we? And, ooh, it's Arts & Books, sorry, Sheila.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Arts & Books. The last head-to-head
0:18:23 > 0:18:26but Lynne or Les are the only two who can play this one.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28OK, well, that'll be me.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30All right, and who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You've got Kevin or Barry there.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Barry's not smiling on this one so I don't know, is that...?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- That could be good.- It could be the shark sucking us in, I don't know.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39It could.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Yes, I think I'll take on Barry, please.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You'll go for the shark. What kind of shark are you then, Barry?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Are you a great white or a basking shark?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- No, I'm gentle, I'm a nurse shark.- OK.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Lynne and Barry, into the Question Room then, please.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Lynne, I hear you're very, very sporty.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Was it you broke the world record at the Great North Run?
0:19:00 > 0:19:06Yes, I almost broke the three hour barrier in my first half marathon.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10That's a fantastic achievement. How did you feel after?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Euphoric, I think, and really quite surprised
0:19:13 > 0:19:16that I actually trotted virtually all the way round.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I had been thinking I'd be walking it most of the way
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- but I actually kept going and it was great.- Well done, you.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Are you going to give it another go? Or maybe step up to a marathon?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I think a marathon's probably beyond me
0:19:29 > 0:19:31but certainly I'm going to do it again.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34OK, Arts & Books. Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I'll go first, please.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Good luck, Lynne. Here you go.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Faster Than Lightning published in 2013
0:19:43 > 0:19:45is the autobiography of which runner?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I don't think it's Paula Radcliffe.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54In fact I'm fairly sure it isn't.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Erm...
0:19:56 > 0:20:02Now Mo Farah has had an autobiography recently
0:20:02 > 0:20:06but I don't recall it being called Faster Than Lightning.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Erm...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I think I'll go for Usain Bolt.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Probably just as well,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15it's the right answer, yes. And after...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20And after the discussion we just had, maybe it should be yours,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22for your next time in the Great North Run.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Maybe just slightly less, little less faster than Usain.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29All right, Barry, in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32which character steals the spaceship Heart Of Gold?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Now I like this character because he has two heads
0:20:39 > 0:20:42and that would come in very useful for an Egghead.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45It was Zaphod Beeblebrox.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Yes, well, you mean you can get around the no conferring rule
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- in the Question Room.- Yes, indeed.- Mind you, you do it anyway.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53You just talk to yourself.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Zaphod Beeblebrox is the right answer, yes.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58The lovely thing about that is
0:20:58 > 0:21:00he was able to steal the Heart Of Gold
0:21:00 > 0:21:04because its owner was spending a year dead for tax purposes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06OK, yeah, great book.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09OK, Lynne, second question.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13What is the occupation of Mark Darcy in Helen Fielding's novel
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Bridget Jones's Diary?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Well, I haven't read this book
0:21:21 > 0:21:26so it's going to have to be somewhat of a guess.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30I'd be surprised if it's a barrister.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Well, apologies to people who are computer programmers,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40I think that might be the occupation
0:21:40 > 0:21:43that's more in keeping with Bridget Jones
0:21:43 > 0:21:45so I'll go computer programmer.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49OK, computer programmer. Yeah, because Mark Darcy's seen as what?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51He's seen as a bit of a square, isn't he?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Bit uptight.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Just trying to wind Barry up there.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59But it's not computer programmer.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04- Barry?- He was a barrister.- Oh! - A barrister.- Was he?- Yeah, he was.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Right, nothing there for Lynne.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Barry, you try this one then on your second question.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13A woman called Susan and her daughter are sold to a sailor
0:22:13 > 0:22:16called Newson in which novel by Thomas Hardy?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23In this novel, Susan was led to the fair
0:22:23 > 0:22:24where she was sold wearing a halter
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and she was sold for the princely sum of £5
0:22:27 > 0:22:29and it was in The Mayor Of Casterbridge.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Yes, it was, Barry. You have a lead.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34The Mayor Of Casterbridge is correct so, Lynne,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37let's get this one on the board and stay in the game.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41What is the title of the play by Tracy Letts
0:22:41 > 0:22:45which won the 2008 Tony award for Best Play?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Well, I haven't got a clue on this one
0:22:55 > 0:22:58so it is going to be a complete guess.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03I'm not sure I can apply any logic to eliminating any
0:23:03 > 0:23:07of the potential answers so...
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I think I'll go August: Osage County.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Is the right answer, well done, Lynne!
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Let's hope Barry doesn't get this then.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Barry, who painted the 1560 oil panting Children's Games
0:23:25 > 0:23:28which depicts approximately 200 children
0:23:28 > 0:23:30playing around 80 different games?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Now this artist was very fond of painting pictures
0:23:37 > 0:23:38with lots of characters in.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Another one of his famous ones on this sort of idiom was called
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Netherlandish Proverbs where he tried to illustrate
0:23:44 > 0:23:47all the common proverbs in the Netherlands at that time
0:23:47 > 0:23:50and the painter was Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I think you can tell, Lynne, that he knows this inside out.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00It is the right answer. Barry, well done.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Which means, Lynne, no place for you in the final round.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Sorry, just one wrong there
0:24:04 > 0:24:07but it means Barry will be there in the final round.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Would you both come back and join your teams, please?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13And this is what we've been playing towards then,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16it's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:24:19 > 0:24:20to take part in this round.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23So Lynne, Sheila and Amanda from The Barrow Independents
0:24:23 > 0:24:27and CJ from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now, please?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30So, Les and Geoff,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33you are playing to win The Barrow Independents £12,000.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Dave, Kevin, Barry and Chris, you are playing for something
0:24:36 > 0:24:39which money cannot buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41And, as usual, I'm going to ask each team three questions in turn,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44this time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:24:44 > 0:24:46and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49So, Barrow Independents, the question is, as always,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55And Les and Geoff, would you like to go first or second?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- We'll go first.- First, yes. - We'll go first, Dermot.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Well, good luck, Geoff. Good luck, Les. First question.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09The US Army officer Edward Uhl is credited with co-designing
0:25:09 > 0:25:12which weapon introduced in 1942?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Grenades are much, much older than that.- Mm.- So are Howitzers
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- and I'm pretty certain the bazooka was developed then.- Yeah.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24That'll be bazooka.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28OK, bazooka is the right answer, yes.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Well done.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Eggheads,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33at the 2013 Labour Party Conference,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Ed Miliband pledged to freeze the price of what?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Fuel.- Fuel.- Fuel, yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Freeze, I think going to be the appropriate word here, fuel.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Fuel is correct, Eggheads.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49One each.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Barrow Independents, second question.
0:25:51 > 0:25:5572 names, principally scientists,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58are inscribed on the side of which Parisian landmark?
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Well, I don't know.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- I mean... Eiffel Tower... - It doesn't sound...- No, it doesn't.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I've been to the Eiffel Tower and I can't remember anything like that.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I've been to Moulin Rouge and I don't remember that there.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I can't imagine it on the Moulin Rouge, no, so Pont Neuf?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Go Pont Neuf?- Yeah. - We'll go for Pont Neuf.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23OK, Pont Neuf. 72 names, principally scientists on the...
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Is it Point Neuf, Eggheads?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26No, I think it's the Eiffel Tower.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28It is the Eiffel Tower.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- It's the Eiffel Tower. - I should've taken more notice.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33OK, well, Eggheads,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35your second question.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38In 1948, the military organisation known as the Haganah
0:26:38 > 0:26:41became the official army of which country?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Israel.- My uncle was the fourth highest ranking officer
0:26:47 > 0:26:49in the Haganah at one point
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and it's the military army 1948 of Israel.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Yes, can't really dispute that with you, can we?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58After that kind of family background. It is the right answer.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Israel. Yeah.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02OK, well, it means you need this.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Good luck, Les and Geoff.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08What was the first name of the title character played by Peter Gilmore
0:27:08 > 0:27:12in the TV period drama series from the 1970s The Onedin Line?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I have to confess to having watched this
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- and I'm pretty certain it's James. - Yep, yeah.- James Onedin,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23it's the right answer. Well done, back on track
0:27:23 > 0:27:25but a blot on the copy book there
0:27:25 > 0:27:27which means the Eggheads have an opportunity.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Veronica is the name of a particular manoeuvre
0:27:30 > 0:27:32in which of these activities?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- All happy with bullfighting? - Bullfighting.- Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40That is bullfighting.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Bullfighting, it's the correct answer. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Well, Barrow Independents, well-played there, bad luck.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It's been that story in a lot of those head-to-heads,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57just the case of the Eggheads have managed to
0:27:57 > 0:27:59nudge you out of it in the end.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- We hope you've enjoyed playing them today though.- Oh, yes.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04It's been a great day, really.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07It's been great having you here and thank you very much indeed for
0:28:07 > 0:28:11telling us about the great work that you do as well voluntarily there.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:13 > 0:28:15and their winning streak continues.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £12,000
0:28:17 > 0:28:20and that means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22So, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
