These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together they make up the Eggheads -

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:14

Question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:19

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:230:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:30

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:300:00:33

And taking on our quiz Goliaths today are the Collegiate Quizzers.

0:00:330:00:37

This team are all members of the same rugby club,

0:00:370:00:39

Liverpool Collegiate RUFC.

0:00:390:00:41

Let's meet them.

0:00:410:00:43

Hi, I'm Gary. I'm 42 and I'm a deployment manager.

0:00:430:00:46

Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 41 and I'm a teacher of mathematics.

0:00:460:00:50

Hi, I'm Roy, I'm 62 and I'm a retired teacher.

0:00:500:00:54

Hi, I'm Tim, I'm 36 and I'm a sales rep for an IT company.

0:00:540:00:58

Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 45 and I'm a project manager.

0:00:580:01:01

Welcome to you, Collegiate Quizzers.

0:01:010:01:03

-Do you do a lot of quizzing, then, Gary?

-Er, not really, no.

0:01:030:01:06

But we think we've got the ability to overcome the Eggheads today.

0:01:060:01:09

OK, you must be pretty good at rugby, then.

0:01:090:01:11

What's the team like?

0:01:110:01:12

Er, the team's doing very well at the moment.

0:01:120:01:14

We're only a junior team but we run four senior men's teams,

0:01:140:01:17

a ladies' team,

0:01:170:01:18

and we have under sevens through to under 19s in our junior section.

0:01:180:01:23

-So...

-Thriving.

-Yeah.

0:01:230:01:25

I'd say it is.

0:01:250:01:26

Well, Collegiate Quizzers,

0:01:260:01:28

not too much quizzing done in the past, but you never know.

0:01:280:01:31

Will you beat the Eggheads?

0:01:310:01:32

Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash

0:01:320:01:34

up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:340:01:35

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:350:01:38

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:380:01:40

So, Collegiate Quizzers, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games,

0:01:400:01:44

so that means £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:01:440:01:47

Let's start the game. We kick off with Science.

0:01:470:01:50

So, which one of you wants to take this on?

0:01:500:01:53

That'll be Timothy.

0:01:530:01:54

OK, Tim. And who will you play from the Eggheads, then?

0:01:540:01:57

Er, I think we'll take on... CJ, please.

0:01:570:02:01

OK. Right, First round,

0:02:010:02:03

and it's CJ from the Eggheads, Tim from the Collegiate Quizzers.

0:02:030:02:06

Into the Question Room, please.

0:02:060:02:08

So, Tim, Science.

0:02:090:02:11

Do you want to go first or second?

0:02:110:02:13

I'll go second please, Dermot.

0:02:130:02:14

CJ, your first question is this -

0:02:170:02:19

what is the chemical symbol for oxygen?

0:02:190:02:22

I think it's number eight on the periodic table,

0:02:250:02:27

and it's O.

0:02:270:02:28

It is O.

0:02:280:02:29

That is correct.

0:02:290:02:31

So, Tim, your first question.

0:02:310:02:33

Which large bird of prey has been successfully reintroduced

0:02:330:02:36

to Scotland since the 1970s?

0:02:360:02:39

Er, I'll have a guess at white-tailed eagle, please, Dermot.

0:02:440:02:49

Is the right answer, yeah.

0:02:490:02:51

Off to a good start, Tim.

0:02:510:02:52

CJ, which French naturalist is commemorated in the name of a bat

0:02:560:03:00

that's found all over the UK and as far away as Japan?

0:03:000:03:04

I don't think I've heard this. Er...

0:03:100:03:13

I will confess I've never heard of Louis-Jean-Marie Daubenton.

0:03:140:03:18

I've really got nothing to go on between the other two, either.

0:03:180:03:21

Um...

0:03:210:03:22

Well, the one I know slightly more about is Leclerc,

0:03:220:03:25

so I'll try Georges Louis Leclerc.

0:03:250:03:28

OK.

0:03:280:03:29

Barry?

0:03:290:03:30

It's Daubenton's bat.

0:03:300:03:32

OK. It's Daubenton's bat, says Barry.

0:03:320:03:35

But CJ hadn't heard of it.

0:03:350:03:38

Well, Tim, potentially good news for you, going second.

0:03:380:03:41

You've avoided that question, but it only works for you,

0:03:410:03:43

of course, if you get your second question right. Here it is.

0:03:430:03:47

Which inventor from Devon born around 1650 developed

0:03:470:03:51

an early steam-driven water pump known as the miner's friend?

0:03:510:03:56

I haven't heard of any of those names.

0:04:010:04:04

Um...

0:04:040:04:05

Edmond Halley.

0:04:070:04:08

You've hit the post. It's not the right answer. Eggheads?

0:04:080:04:12

ALL: Thomas Savery.

0:04:120:04:14

Thomas Savery, yeah. OK, well, it stays at one-all.

0:04:140:04:18

Third question, CJ.

0:04:180:04:19

In which year did the British aircraft

0:04:190:04:22

the Fairey Delta 2 set a world airspeed record of 1,132 mph?

0:04:220:04:28

What's that? That's about Mach 1.7, isn't it?

0:04:340:04:38

Er...

0:04:380:04:39

I can't imagine you're going to get that supersonic in '46.

0:04:390:04:46

When did Concorde take its first flight?

0:04:480:04:50

I think that was '69 for Concorde.

0:04:500:04:53

And Concorde exceeds Mach 2.

0:04:540:04:56

Oh, I don't know, but because it's so close to Mach 2, I'll try '66.

0:04:560:05:01

It was '56, 1956.

0:05:010:05:03

Which you were obviously considering there.

0:05:030:05:06

But nothing there for CJ.

0:05:060:05:08

So, Tim, an opportunity to get straight into the final round here.

0:05:080:05:12

In the abbreviation A-L-U, ALU,

0:05:120:05:14

referring to a component of a computer's central processing unit,

0:05:140:05:20

for what does the letter L stand?

0:05:200:05:23

You have just made my professional life an absolute nightmare.

0:05:250:05:29

Um...

0:05:290:05:31

I didn't know what you were going to say, there -

0:05:310:05:33

-I thought you were going to say I've just made your day.

-No. Afraid not.

0:05:330:05:36

-Straight in with the right answer.

-I'm afraid not!

0:05:360:05:38

Um...

0:05:380:05:40

I will go with...

0:05:400:05:42

logic.

0:05:420:05:44

Logic. OK.

0:05:440:05:46

It's the right answer, Tim.

0:05:460:05:47

OK, Tim, you're playing in the final round.

0:05:520:05:54

Would you both please come back and join your teams?

0:05:540:05:56

Right, Tim, well done there with ALU.

0:05:580:06:00

And just tell us why it was important, given what you do,

0:06:000:06:03

-that you got that.

-I work for an IT company,

0:06:030:06:05

we concentrate specifically on selling servers and things,

0:06:050:06:08

so I think my professional credibility would have disappeared

0:06:080:06:11

-in about five seconds.

-OK, well, it's just gone up.

0:06:110:06:13

Tim triumphed in that round.

0:06:130:06:14

The Eggheads are missing one brain from the final round.

0:06:140:06:17

And the Collegiate Quizzers are all there - but we've only played one.

0:06:170:06:21

So, let's play our next round. It's Sport.

0:06:210:06:23

-Who would like to take this on?

-That's me.

-Roy.

0:06:230:06:25

OK, Roy. And which Egghead? Anyone apart from CJ.

0:06:250:06:28

-Yeah, I think I'll play Judith.

-All right.

0:06:280:06:31

Let's have Roy and Judith into the Question Room, please.

0:06:310:06:35

So, Roy, I'm sure you'd like some rugby questions in this round.

0:06:360:06:40

Oh - may be too much pressure on me!

0:06:400:06:43

I see what you mean! Yes, bit like Tim in that last round.

0:06:430:06:47

Roy, would you like to go first or second?

0:06:470:06:49

I'll go first, please.

0:06:490:06:51

OK, good luck, Roy. Here you go.

0:06:540:06:55

In test matches,

0:06:550:06:56

what colour are the official caps worn by England cricketers?

0:06:560:07:01

Well, I know green is Australia.

0:07:030:07:05

Maroon is the West Indies, I believe.

0:07:050:07:09

So I believe blue is the England cap.

0:07:090:07:12

Worked that out well - yes, right answer.

0:07:120:07:15

And Judith, first question.

0:07:150:07:17

The British driver James Hunt

0:07:170:07:19

won the Formula 1 world championship in which year?

0:07:190:07:21

I wish I'd seen that film, Rush.

0:07:260:07:29

But I haven't yet.

0:07:290:07:31

I think he was a '60s person, um...

0:07:310:07:34

Or was he '70s? Oh, Lord.

0:07:340:07:36

I'm doubting, now.

0:07:360:07:38

It definitely wasn't '86, anyhow.

0:07:380:07:41

I'm going to plump for '66.

0:07:410:07:43

-With no confidence.

-OK.

0:07:430:07:46

A good year, then, World Cup and Formula 1 world champion.

0:07:460:07:49

-It was '76.

-'76, yeah.

0:07:490:07:52

-Not...

-I was trying to think of what his hair looked like, actually.

0:07:520:07:56

-Quite '70s.

-Very '70s.

0:07:560:07:58

-It was '70s.

-It was very '70s.

0:07:580:08:00

OK, well, good start, then, Roy.

0:08:000:08:02

Could get better.

0:08:020:08:04

In the 1970s, Peter Shilton

0:08:040:08:06

and which other goalkeeper won the PFA player of the year award?

0:08:060:08:09

I don't think it was Gary Sprake,

0:08:120:08:14

cos he famously threw the ball into his own net

0:08:140:08:16

when he was playing for Leeds United.

0:08:160:08:19

Ray Clements was Peter Shilton's understudy for the England team.

0:08:190:08:25

I've got a feeling it was Pat Jennings,

0:08:250:08:27

cos he did really well in that time, playing for Spurs.

0:08:270:08:30

So I'll go for Pat Jennings.

0:08:300:08:32

Yeah, Pat Jennings is the right answer, well done, yeah.

0:08:320:08:35

Pat Jennings.

0:08:350:08:37

OK, Judith needs to get this.

0:08:390:08:41

Judith, which golfer won more than 11 million

0:08:410:08:45

by winning the 2013 tour championship in Atlanta, Georgia?

0:08:450:08:50

Um, I haven't revised golf lately.

0:08:540:08:57

Um...

0:08:570:08:58

Oh, goodness, who was it?

0:08:580:09:00

I think it was Henrik Stenson.

0:09:000:09:03

No need to revise, it's the right answer. Well done.

0:09:030:09:05

Henrik Stenson.

0:09:050:09:07

-11 million.

-Must have seen it.

-There we are.

0:09:070:09:10

Will Judith come back and finish top of this game?

0:09:100:09:13

Well, she won't if Roy gets this.

0:09:130:09:16

Roy, the Dutch sportswoman Marianne Vos

0:09:160:09:19

has won world and Olympic titles in which sport?

0:09:190:09:23

Not sure about this one. Um...

0:09:270:09:29

I don't believe it's figure skating.

0:09:290:09:33

I've got a feeling I've heard the name connected with cycling.

0:09:330:09:37

I'm a keen cyclist myself, so I'd better get this right.

0:09:370:09:40

I think I'll go cycling, Dermot.

0:09:400:09:43

You just pedalled your way into the final round.

0:09:430:09:45

It's the right answer.

0:09:450:09:46

Let's just confirm that.

0:09:490:09:50

Roy, yeah, you're there in the final round

0:09:500:09:53

as well as Tim. No place for Judith.

0:09:530:09:55

Would you both come back and join your teams, please?

0:09:550:09:58

Well, the Collegiate Quizzers building on that first round lead -

0:09:590:10:02

they've now knocked two Eggheads out of the final round.

0:10:020:10:05

They're all there.

0:10:050:10:06

Our next subject, the third round, is Geography.

0:10:060:10:09

Who wants to play this from the Collegiate Quizzers?

0:10:090:10:12

-Dave.

-Dave.

0:10:120:10:14

If I must, I'll do the Geography.

0:10:140:10:16

Dave A's going to fall on the sword.

0:10:160:10:17

That's this Dave closest to me.

0:10:170:10:19

OK, Dave, and who would you like to play from the Eggheads?

0:10:190:10:21

You can play either Chris, Barry or Kevin.

0:10:210:10:24

-Chris.

-Yeah, Chris.

0:10:240:10:25

-I've been told to pick Chris.

-OK.

0:10:250:10:27

-Told to pick Chris!

-I've been told!

0:10:270:10:29

Captain's orders.

0:10:290:10:30

OK, right, captain's orders are that Chris accompany you

0:10:300:10:33

into the Question Room, please.

0:10:330:10:35

So, Dave, Geography round coming up.

0:10:370:10:39

Would you like to go first or second?

0:10:390:10:41

I think I'll go first, please.

0:10:410:10:42

Best of luck, Dave. Here's your first question.

0:10:460:10:49

Which of these cities is furthest north?

0:10:490:10:51

Um, well...

0:10:550:10:57

We got the train up yesterday, and we had to make a stopover in Carlisle,

0:10:570:11:02

which was just on the border.

0:11:020:11:03

So I'm pretty certain that Carlisle's the furthest north.

0:11:030:11:07

OK, we should explain we film the series in Glasgow,

0:11:070:11:10

so you were getting the train up and stopped in Carlisle.

0:11:100:11:13

It is the right answer, well done.

0:11:130:11:16

Chris, which town lies on the Camel Estuary?

0:11:200:11:23

Yeah, down in Cornwall, that's Padstow.

0:11:260:11:28

Padstow on the Camel, correct.

0:11:300:11:32

OK, Dave, second question.

0:11:320:11:34

Seattle is a major city in which US state?

0:11:340:11:37

Um, I do know quite a few of the American states.

0:11:400:11:43

I'm pretty sure that Seattle's the capital of Washington State.

0:11:430:11:47

Yep, Seattle is in Washington state.

0:11:470:11:49

But maybe not necessarily the capital -

0:11:490:11:51

I don't know, because they're a bit weird about their capitals,

0:11:510:11:53

but I'll confirm that is correct, yeah, Washington state,

0:11:530:11:56

which of course is on the west coast. That is correct.

0:11:560:11:58

Is it the capital, though, Eggheads?

0:11:580:12:00

-No, Olympia.

-Olympia! There we are, there's one to store away.

0:12:000:12:03

There you are.

0:12:030:12:04

Doesn't matter - we just wanted to know where Seattle was,

0:12:040:12:07

and you told us.

0:12:070:12:08

All right. Well, Chris, your second question.

0:12:080:12:11

What is the largest Italian city by population?

0:12:110:12:15

Oh, that's a...

0:12:170:12:19

Er...

0:12:190:12:20

Well, Rome's the capital.

0:12:220:12:23

Milan and Turin are both sort of industrial cities

0:12:230:12:26

up on the Lombard plain.

0:12:260:12:28

Rome's not really all that big.

0:12:280:12:31

Neither, I don't think, is Turin -

0:12:330:12:35

but Milan does straggle out into the countryside for quite a long way,

0:12:350:12:38

so I'll have to go with Milan.

0:12:380:12:40

OK, Milan as the largest Italian city by population.

0:12:410:12:45

What do you think, other Eggheads?

0:12:450:12:46

-Rome.

-Follow that logic?

-Go for Rome.

0:12:460:12:49

It is Rome.

0:12:500:12:52

-Oh! The obvious.

-It is Rome.

0:12:520:12:55

So, are we going to see the demise of another Egghead?

0:12:550:12:58

Right, pretend you're just on the opposition line,

0:12:580:13:01

you're just in that scrum - one last heave and you're there.

0:13:010:13:05

Which Himalayan peak is the fourth highest mountain in the world?

0:13:050:13:10

Um, I don't think it's K2.

0:13:140:13:16

I always thought that was second, vying with Everest.

0:13:160:13:20

Um, I've never actually heard of Lhotse.

0:13:200:13:22

But my wife went on a trek round Nepal and did the Annapurna trail,

0:13:220:13:27

So I'm going to go with Annapurna.

0:13:270:13:29

OK, Annapurna.

0:13:290:13:31

It's not, it is Lhotse.

0:13:310:13:33

Right, well, a chance for Chris to redeem himself.

0:13:340:13:38

Chris, the Margaret River tourist area in Australia

0:13:380:13:41

is roughly a three-hour drive south from which city?

0:13:410:13:44

Well, a three hour drive south from Melbourne

0:13:470:13:50

would put you in the Indian Ocean.

0:13:500:13:51

Um...

0:13:510:13:53

Perth's in the Swan River in the west,

0:13:530:13:55

with quite a bit of land to the south of it,

0:13:550:13:57

so I'll have to say Perth.

0:13:570:13:58

-OK, Perth.

-Mm.

0:13:580:14:00

Had to think a bit - but you've got the right answer.

0:14:000:14:02

Yes, Perth.

0:14:020:14:03

Right, well, we go to Sudden Death, then, Dave.

0:14:030:14:06

Still very much in it.

0:14:060:14:08

But to sort out a winner, we are removing the options now.

0:14:080:14:12

Which large island has the local name Kalaallit Nunaat?

0:14:120:14:17

K-A-L-A-A-L-L-I-T.

0:14:170:14:21

Second word Nunaat, N-U-N-A-A-T.

0:14:210:14:26

It sounds Asian.

0:14:300:14:32

Um...

0:14:320:14:34

Sumatra.

0:14:350:14:37

-DERMOT CHUCKLES

-No, it's a very different language.

0:14:370:14:41

-Chris?

-It's not Greenland, is it?

0:14:410:14:43

It is, Greenland.

0:14:430:14:44

OK, a chance for Chris, here.

0:14:440:14:46

Chris, which city originally established as a settlement

0:14:460:14:49

for freed slaves is the capital of Sierra Leone?

0:14:490:14:52

Freetown.

0:14:520:14:54

Is the right answer.

0:14:540:14:56

Listen, well played, Dave - some really great answers in there,

0:14:560:14:59

but it means you won't be in the final round.

0:14:590:15:01

Would you both come back and join your teams?

0:15:010:15:03

Well, after that tussle, the Collegiate Quizzers have

0:15:050:15:07

lost their first brain from the final round.

0:15:070:15:09

The Eggheads have still lost those two.

0:15:090:15:11

And our next subject is Music.

0:15:110:15:14

So, who'd like to play this? We've got the other Dave or Gary.

0:15:140:15:16

Our resident DJ, Dave B, please.

0:15:160:15:19

Got to be you, then, Dave. And you've got Kevin or Barry here.

0:15:190:15:22

What do you think, guys?

0:15:220:15:23

I think...Barry.

0:15:230:15:25

-Barry.

-All right. Barry from the Eggheads.

0:15:250:15:28

So, Dave and Barry,

0:15:280:15:29

can I ask you both to go to the Question Room, please?

0:15:290:15:31

Well, Dave, let's get on with it.

0:15:330:15:34

Would you like to go first or second?

0:15:340:15:36

I'll go first, please.

0:15:360:15:37

Good luck, Dave. Here you go.

0:15:400:15:41

"Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be"

0:15:410:15:44

is a lyric from a famous song by which band?

0:15:440:15:47

Oh, dear.

0:15:510:15:52

The lyrics aren't jumping out on me.

0:15:540:15:56

Er... At all.

0:15:560:15:59

Er...

0:16:000:16:01

Could you say the lyrics one more time, please?

0:16:020:16:04

"Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be",

0:16:040:16:08

a lyric from a famous song by which band?

0:16:080:16:11

Ah.

0:16:110:16:13

OK.

0:16:130:16:14

Yeah, I'm definitely going to go with The Beatles, I believe it's...

0:16:140:16:17

I think it's from Yesterday.

0:16:170:16:20

Did you suddenly sing it to yourself? It came to you there!

0:16:200:16:22

It was your dulcet tones that helped me.

0:16:220:16:25

Yeah! Good. Right.

0:16:250:16:27

Yeah, from Yesterday, and The Beatles.

0:16:270:16:29

Well done, there. Whoa!

0:16:290:16:32

OK, well, Barry,

0:16:320:16:35

after we started with a Beatles classic, there,

0:16:350:16:38

here's a classic for you.

0:16:380:16:39

"Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deckchair up your nose"

0:16:390:16:43

are lines from a song that was UK number one single

0:16:430:16:46

for characters in which TV show?

0:16:460:16:48

It really should have been the Neighbours, but it's Spitting Image.

0:16:500:16:54

Yes! It is Spitting Image.

0:16:540:16:56

So, back to you, Dave.

0:16:560:16:58

The modern brass instrument called the cornet

0:16:590:17:02

usually has how many valves?

0:17:020:17:04

I think it was one of the smaller of the...

0:17:060:17:09

brass instruments...

0:17:090:17:11

And for that I think I'm going to go for three.

0:17:130:17:16

It's the right answer, Dave.

0:17:170:17:19

Two out of two.

0:17:220:17:23

And Barry, Dave Bartram

0:17:230:17:25

and Buddy Gask were vocalists with which band

0:17:250:17:29

that became famous in the 1970s?

0:17:290:17:31

Oh, dear. Three '70s bands, as well.

0:17:340:17:37

Those names, unfortunately, don't mean anything to me.

0:17:370:17:41

I don't think it was Slade -

0:17:410:17:43

I thought the vocalist there was Noddy Holder.

0:17:430:17:45

I can't remember who the vocalist in Mud was.

0:17:460:17:49

So, I'll go for the bigger band, Showaddywaddy.

0:17:490:17:52

Yeah, you worked it out. It's the right answer, yes, Showaddywaddy.

0:17:520:17:54

Right, well, Dave, going well here.

0:17:560:17:58

Third question.

0:17:580:17:59

Sir Mark Elder established his reputation in classical music

0:17:590:18:03

in which role?

0:18:030:18:04

I don't remember the name at all.

0:18:080:18:10

Um...

0:18:100:18:11

I mean, there were many famous tenors that recorded works,

0:18:110:18:14

and I can't remember this name as being one of those.

0:18:140:18:17

With all due respect to harpists,

0:18:180:18:20

I'm just not sure somebody would be knighted for playing a harp,

0:18:200:18:25

so I'm going to stick with conductor.

0:18:250:18:27

You've got it! Well done, Dave.

0:18:290:18:31

Three out of three.

0:18:310:18:32

All eyes on Barry.

0:18:330:18:35

Which female vocalist had a UK top ten album in 2013

0:18:350:18:39

with Ketavan? K-E-T-A-V-A-N.

0:18:390:18:43

Oh...I don't know.

0:18:470:18:49

I can't recall Katie Melua having an album out...

0:18:490:18:54

And I'm not even sure if Leona Lewis has,

0:18:540:18:56

but Ellie Goulding had a very popular number one with Burn.

0:18:560:19:00

Think she was in the charts for quite some time.

0:19:000:19:04

So I shall go for Ellie Goulding.

0:19:040:19:06

Ellie Goulding.

0:19:060:19:07

Well, Dave, you're the DJ, is he right, do you know?

0:19:070:19:10

I think he is.

0:19:100:19:12

That's interesting!

0:19:120:19:13

-Cos you're wrong, Barry.

-Oh!

-It's Katie Melua.

0:19:130:19:16

-Katie Mel...!

-Katie Melua.

0:19:160:19:19

Which means, Dave, in spite of agreeing with him,

0:19:190:19:21

you're in the final round.

0:19:210:19:23

Another victor for Collegiate Quizzers. Barry, you won't be there.

0:19:260:19:29

Would you both come back and join your teams, please?

0:19:290:19:31

So, this is what we've been playing towards.

0:19:330:19:35

It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.

0:19:350:19:38

But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:19:380:19:41

won't be allowed to take part in this round,

0:19:410:19:43

so Dave A from the Collegiate Quizzers

0:19:430:19:46

and CJ, Barry and Judith from the Eggheads,

0:19:460:19:48

would you leave the studio, please?

0:19:480:19:50

So, Gary, Roy, Tim and Dave,

0:19:520:19:54

you are playing to win the Collegiate Quizzers £13,000.

0:19:540:19:57

Kevin and Chris, you are playing for something which money can't buy.

0:19:570:20:01

The Eggheads' reputation.

0:20:010:20:03

And as usual, I'm going to ask

0:20:030:20:04

each team three questions in turn to start.

0:20:040:20:07

This time, the questions are all General Knowledge

0:20:070:20:09

and you are allowed to confer,

0:20:090:20:11

so, Collegiate Quizzers, the question is,

0:20:110:20:13

are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?

0:20:130:20:15

And Collegiate Quizzers, would you like to go first or second?

0:20:150:20:19

We'd like to go first, please.

0:20:190:20:20

Best of luck. Here's your first final-round question.

0:20:230:20:26

The fashion model Miranda Kerr was born in which city?

0:20:260:20:30

-Never heard of her.

-Anyone? Dave?

0:20:330:20:35

I think...

0:20:350:20:37

-I would...

-I think she's Australian.

0:20:370:20:40

-That doesn't mean...

-Would say Sydney, wouldn't it?

0:20:400:20:42

-Doesn't mean she was born in Australia, though, does it?

-Well...

0:20:420:20:46

-I've...

-I've never heard of her.

0:20:460:20:48

I've never heard of her, and Kerr, Australian,

0:20:480:20:52

if that's what you think, Tim...

0:20:520:20:54

Indeed, no, I concur completely.

0:20:540:20:56

We'll have a wild guess

0:20:560:20:57

-and go for Sydney.

-Wild guess,

0:20:570:20:59

but she was born in Sydney, yes. The right answer.

0:20:590:21:03

Well done. Eggheads,

0:21:030:21:05

which substance can be obtained from the bark of the cinchona tree?

0:21:050:21:09

Yeah, used in medicine. It's quinine.

0:21:130:21:16

It's the right answer, Eggheads, yeah. All right,

0:21:160:21:19

all square. Second question for the Collegiate Quizzers.

0:21:190:21:22

Which Alfred Hitchcock film was remade in 1979 with

0:21:220:21:27

Cybill Shepherd and Elliott Gould?

0:21:270:21:29

I think I know this one, so...

0:21:330:21:35

The Lady Vanishes.

0:21:350:21:36

-Have you seen it?

-I think so, yeah.

0:21:360:21:39

It's the right answer. The Lady Vanishes, remade then, in 1979.

0:21:390:21:43

Eggheads, James Baker and Lawrence Eagleburger

0:21:450:21:48

both served as US Secretary of State under which president?

0:21:480:21:52

-It's not the other two, so it's George HW Bush.

-It is, isn't it?

0:21:560:22:00

They were Republican Secretaries of State.

0:22:020:22:05

-The name Eagleburger is quite memorable.

-Yes, exactly, yeah.

0:22:050:22:08

James Baker, I believe, also served under Ronald Reagan,

0:22:080:22:12

but continued to do so under George The First, George Bush.

0:22:120:22:16

The other two are much too early,

0:22:160:22:18

so the answer is George HW Bush.

0:22:180:22:21

OK, I like that, "George The First".

0:22:210:22:23

-Yes, George The First.

-In America.

0:22:230:22:25

It's the right answer, yes, George Bush Senior.

0:22:250:22:29

OK, and it's all square at two-all.

0:22:290:22:31

Both teams going incredibly well. Collegiate Quizzers, question three.

0:22:310:22:35

Which English monarch's heir was known as Henry the Young King

0:22:350:22:39

as he was crowned during his father's reign

0:22:390:22:41

in order to secure the succession?

0:22:410:22:44

Any ideas on that end? Because I'm lacking.

0:22:480:22:51

I think it was... Edward II was the one that they killed.

0:22:510:22:55

Yeah, and I think Henry II was his son, but I'm not sure.

0:22:550:22:59

Best guess, Henry II.

0:22:590:23:01

-No, Edward II.

-Edward II.

0:23:010:23:04

-No, no, Edward II was the one that they killed.

-Yeah.

0:23:040:23:07

So we're going Edward II,

0:23:070:23:09

to secure the lineage.

0:23:090:23:12

No, no, Edward II was the one that they killed

0:23:120:23:14

and Henry II, I think, was his son,

0:23:140:23:16

so I think it's Henry II.

0:23:160:23:18

-No, I think it's Edward II.

-Henry the son of Henry?

0:23:180:23:21

I'm almost certain Henry II was after Edward II.

0:23:210:23:24

-Henry?

-Henry.

0:23:250:23:27

We'll go with Henry II.

0:23:270:23:31

OK. Debate there. Was it Edward II or Henry II?

0:23:310:23:34

It's Henry II, it's correct.

0:23:350:23:37

-Well done, Tim.

-I bow to your superior knowledge.

-Got it.

0:23:370:23:41

OK, well, Eggheads, you need this.

0:23:410:23:43

What is a tourbillon?

0:23:430:23:44

What is a tourbillon? T-O-U-R-B-I-L-L-O-N.

0:23:490:23:53

I don't think I've ever heard of it as a savoury tart,

0:23:530:23:57

-although it could be.

-No.

0:23:570:23:59

I don't know why, my first thought was watch component,

0:23:590:24:03

but I don't know, it's that sort of a word, isn't it?

0:24:030:24:06

It sounds as though it should be.

0:24:060:24:08

-Something that turns.

-Yeah.

0:24:080:24:09

I don't know. I don't think I've heard of it as a hat, but then...

0:24:100:24:13

-No.

-There are all kinds of hats, aren't there?

-Yeah.

0:24:130:24:16

-I'd be inclined for watch component.

-Shall we try that?

-If it's wrong...

0:24:160:24:19

-If it's wrong, it's wrong.

-If it's wrong, it's wrong. Yeah.

0:24:190:24:22

We don't know this.

0:24:220:24:24

We're inclined to go for watch component.

0:24:240:24:29

OK, watch component. Well,

0:24:290:24:31

debate on the Collegiate Quizzers' side with their third question,

0:24:310:24:35

and that matched by the Eggheads there,

0:24:350:24:37

and it is the right answer.

0:24:370:24:39

Watch component.

0:24:390:24:40

Phew! What a quiz this is turning out to be!

0:24:400:24:44

Great contest. OK, we're into sudden death,

0:24:440:24:47

as you'll be very familiar with by now.

0:24:470:24:49

And here's your question, Collegiate Quizzers.

0:24:490:24:52

The shadow theatre dance group Attraction,

0:24:520:24:55

who won Britain's Got Talent in 2013, was formed in which country?

0:24:550:24:59

It was a former Yugoslavian country.

0:24:590:25:01

I thought it was Hungary.

0:25:010:25:03

My initial thought was Hungary.

0:25:030:25:06

Now you say it...

0:25:060:25:07

And that was before you said it.

0:25:090:25:11

Two of you saying Hungary...

0:25:110:25:12

I think we'll go with Hungary, please.

0:25:120:25:14

OK, Hungary?

0:25:140:25:16

It's the right answer, yes, from Hungary.

0:25:180:25:20

OK, Eggheads,

0:25:200:25:22

which famous American news magazine

0:25:220:25:24

was founded by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce in 1923?

0:25:240:25:29

-I think that's Time.

-Yes, sounds like Time, yeah.

0:25:290:25:32

-The name Luce chimes with Time.

-Henry Luce.

-Yeah.

0:25:320:25:35

I think he was the long-standing president, founder and...

0:25:350:25:40

He was, wasn't he? Yeah.

0:25:400:25:41

-It's not Newsweek.

-It's not Newsweek, no, that's much later.

0:25:410:25:45

-I think it's Time.

-Yeah, I think it's Time.

0:25:450:25:47

We think that's Time magazine.

0:25:470:25:49

It's the correct answer, Eggheads.

0:25:500:25:52

Great quizzing. Collegiate Quizzers,

0:25:520:25:54

another question.

0:25:540:25:56

In the title of the radio show It's That Man Again,

0:25:560:26:00

first broadcast in 1939,

0:26:000:26:02

the words "that man" originally referred to which historical figure?

0:26:020:26:06

-This is the radio programme...

-'39.

0:26:060:26:08

This is the radio programme known as ITMA, wasn't it?

0:26:080:26:12

So if it was first broadcast in '39, that could be referring to...

0:26:120:26:16

-The Fuhrer himself, surely?

-Yeah.

0:26:160:26:19

-Hitler?

-That's my theory.

0:26:190:26:21

Right?

0:26:210:26:23

-Yeah.

-Famous historical figure, '39.

0:26:230:26:26

We'll go for Adolf Hitler.

0:26:260:26:27

OK, Adolf Hitler, first broadcast in '39, picking up on that.

0:26:270:26:31

It's That Man Again, the words "that man" originally referred to...

0:26:310:26:35

..Adolf Hitler. It's correct.

0:26:360:26:38

-Well done, boys.

-Well done, well worked out.

0:26:380:26:40

Real pressure on the Eggheads,

0:26:400:26:42

really turning the screw on them.

0:26:420:26:44

Eggheads, which England rugby star

0:26:440:26:46

was the winner of the 2011 series of Celebrity MasterChef?

0:26:460:26:50

Which England rugby star was the winner of the 2011 series

0:26:500:26:54

of Celebrity MasterChef?

0:26:540:26:56

-Not a clue.

-Phil Vickery? No.

0:26:580:27:01

Well, you might be thinking that cos there's a chef called that.

-There is a chef, married to Fern Britton, yeah.

-Erm...

0:27:060:27:09

Do you have any names? No?

0:27:120:27:14

-Well...

-I don't know, Ben Cohen or somebody like that,

0:27:140:27:17

-I don't know.

-Why not? Yeah.

0:27:170:27:19

We haven't got the faintest idea,

0:27:190:27:21

not the faintest, so we've just got to pick a rugby player name,

0:27:210:27:24

so we don't know it, so we'll try Ben Cohen.

0:27:240:27:26

OK, Ben Cohen won Celebrity MasterChef, you think, in 2011.

0:27:260:27:30

-What did you say originally, Chris? First instinct?

-Phil Vickery.

0:27:300:27:33

-The answer is Phil Vickery.

-Oh.

0:27:330:27:36

Which means you've won the money!

0:27:360:27:38

Interesting, Chris, there about the confusion with the Phil Vickeries.

0:27:450:27:48

There's two of them, you're right, a chef and Fern Britton.

0:27:480:27:51

You got all that, but also, the former England rugby star,

0:27:510:27:54

so bad luck there, talked yourself out of it,

0:27:540:27:57

but it's great news for the Collegiate Quizzers.

0:27:570:27:59

Well, how does that feel?

0:27:590:28:01

-Fantastic.

-A bit of relief there!

0:28:010:28:03

So often teams do really well in the head-to-heads

0:28:030:28:05

and then kind of find the final round is too much for them

0:28:050:28:08

and it all goes the wrong way

0:28:080:28:09

and this is, of course, the round where it really matters,

0:28:090:28:12

but you kept that up.

0:28:120:28:13

You deserve that money, don't you think, Eggheads?

0:28:130:28:15

-That was well-deserved.

-Thank you very much.

0:28:150:28:18

Congratulations to you, once again.

0:28:180:28:20

You have just won £13,000,

0:28:200:28:21

so you are also officially cleverer than the Eggheads for today.

0:28:210:28:25

You've proved they can be beaten.

0:28:250:28:27

Do join us next time on Eggheads

0:28:270:28:29

to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.

0:28:290:28:32

Until then, goodbye.
