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 > 0:00:19The 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 hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are The Oakies.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40This team of friends are all members of the Major Oak Barbershop Chorus,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42based in Nottingham. Let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Trevor. I'm 66 and I'm a retired teacher of English.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 57 years old and I'm a disclosure officer.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Adrian. I'm 61 and I'm a kindergarten teacher.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Roger. I'm 64 and I'm a retired NHS manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Bob. I'm 67 and I'm a retired pharmacist.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07You're very welcome here, Oakies. Very good to see you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10We love having singers here.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Could we kick off, do you think you could give us a tune?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15ALL: # Pass me by one summer day
0:01:15 > 0:01:18# Flash those big brown eyes my way
0:01:18 > 0:01:21# I wanted you for ever more
0:01:21 > 0:01:22# Oh, now, baby
0:01:22 > 0:01:24# I'm the one that gets around
0:01:24 > 0:01:26# Swear my feet stuck to the ground
0:01:26 > 0:01:33# But oh, I never did meet you before. #
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Lovely.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Thank you very much indeed. What a nice way to kick of this episode.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41You obviously practise a lot, where do you perform?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45We practise a lot, as you say, we sing every Tuesday evening
0:01:45 > 0:01:47for two-and-a-half hours under the direction of Joe Knight,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49our musical director.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Some of us are in quartets and it does take up quite a bit of our time.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Given what we're about to do today, have you done any quizzing?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Do you quiz together at all? - We are not a quiz team, as such.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Whether this will be an inspiration to us in the future, I don't know.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06We are simply a group of guys and here we are.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09It's very good to see you. Let's see how you do against the Eggheads.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Oakies, the Eggheads have won the last five games
0:02:19 > 0:02:24and that means £6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts and Books.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Who'd like to play this from The Oakies?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- I wonder whether that's...- I think English teachers are right for that.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39- I think the captain.- Yes, I think that's probably me, Dermot.- OK.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42You get to choose any Egghead you like because it's the opening round.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'd go for...
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Can we ask Dave to accept our challenge?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- I'm sure he will. - Yep, delighted to.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56All right, it's Dave and Trevor playing Arts and Books.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Could I ask you both to go to the Question Room
0:02:59 > 0:03:00just to make sure you can't confer.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Trevor, as a retired English teacher,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08you should be fairly comfortable with the literature side of this.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- Let's hope so.- OK, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:13 > 0:03:14I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Best of luck, Trevor. Your first question.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24For what does the second M stand in the acronym MOMA -
0:03:24 > 0:03:28M-O-M-A - in reference to a New York institution?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Been to New York and I remember very well wanting to go to this place
0:03:35 > 0:03:40and the second M stands for Modern. The Museum Of Modern Art.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42You've given me it all and that second M is "Modern".
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It's the right answer, and a good start.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Dave, whose 2013 autobiography is called Recipe For Life?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58It could conceivably be Jamie Oliver.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Or Delia Smith.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04But I do seem to remember Mary Berry putting out a book
0:04:04 > 0:04:05so I'll go Mary Berry.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Mary Berry, yep, you're right. Well remembered, Dave.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11All square and Trevor's second question.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16In George Eliot's novel, what is the profession of Silas Marner?
0:04:18 > 0:04:24Silas Marner, as I recall, was, in the novel, a miser.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I think he led a pretty solitary existence one way or another.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Not totally happy about this but I'll say he's a weaver.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Silas Marner. A weaver, you think.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37He's a weaver, it's the right answer.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Well remembered, Trevor. Here you go, Dave. Second question.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Which novel by Joseph Conrad is set in the fictional
0:04:49 > 0:04:51South American country of Costaguana?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59I like the look of The Secret Agent as a title, even though...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Nostromo's the only Joseph Conrad novel that I associate with.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I don't know what it's about.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Going to go The Secret Agent, just as a mischievous guess.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15OK, a mischievous guess. I'll just see what the other Eggheads think.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Nostromo. Secret Agent is Conrad but that's actually set in Britain.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- OK. It is Nostromo.- Right, fire on.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Bad luck. Not The Secret Agent.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30So... Swinging very much your way, Trevor.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33This is the quickest way into the final round for you,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36a correct answer. Tales Of The Alhambra is a collection of writings
0:05:36 > 0:05:38by which American author?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Without really knowing why, I'm looking at Washington Irving.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I'm going for Washington Irving.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49OK, without really knowing why.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Just an instinct.- Bit of excitement amongst the other Oakies.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57It is the right answer. You are in the final round.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Great start for The Oakies. Trevor into the final round, ejecting Dave.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10The Oakies haven't lost any brains, knocked one Egghead out.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Our second subject today, it's Science.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Who from the team would like to play this, Oakies?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20What about our scientist, Bob?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22ALL AGREE
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- You up for it? - Yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- OK, I'll be victim.- All right, Bob, and pick an Egghead.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Who would you like to take to the Question Room?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Good question. I'll try CJ, please.- All right.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Let's have Bob and CJ playing this one.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40To the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Bob, would you like to go first or second on this round?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I think I'll risk going first, please.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Best of luck, Bob. Here's your first question.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Which of these refers to the technology that allows computers
0:06:55 > 0:06:58to be connected to form a local area network?
0:07:02 > 0:07:07I think pathnet is entirely logical, giving a pathway.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10But I think the answer is Ethernet.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13As things disappear off into the ether.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15So Ethernet would be my answer.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18OK, and that's what you're trying to attempt with CJ,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22make him disappear up into the ether. It's the right answer.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24One step closer to that happening.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30CJ, in aviation, what name is given to the manoeuvre often used
0:07:30 > 0:07:33when learning to fly that involves landing on a runway
0:07:33 > 0:07:36then taking off again without coming to a complete stop?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42I don't know.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48I really don't know. Not stoop-and-raise.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Um... Hm. You can make a case for either of the other two.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I'm sorry, I just haven't heard this,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- so I will guess at touch-and-go. - OK.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I think you're right to be careful cos touch-and-go is a phrase
0:08:01 > 0:08:04meaning in a critical condition, sometimes,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07touch-and-go, but it is the right answer. Well done, CJ.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10The logic really there dictated it, didn't it?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13All square. Back to Bob.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17The park that in 2009 was the first in the UK to be designated
0:08:17 > 0:08:23a Dark Sky Park for its lack of light pollution is in which country?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Good question.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31My gut reaction, and I don't know,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33but my gut reaction would be Scotland.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Scotland's my answer.- OK, gut reaction, going with that, Scotland.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39And giving me the right answer. Well done, Bob.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45All right, second question for CJ.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49The Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov received
0:08:49 > 0:08:53a 1904 Nobel Prize for his research on which part of the body?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I'm not doing very well cos I've got no idea on this one, either.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I'm leaning towards one
0:09:03 > 0:09:05but this is nothing more than an absolute blind guess.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07It's a one-in-three.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Um...digestive system.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13OK, digestive system.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Very honest of you saying
0:09:14 > 0:09:17it's a one-in-three, but it's the right answer.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21OK, it's all square. Both of you having to work at those questions
0:09:21 > 0:09:23but getting the right answers.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Bob, what is the name of the monthly magazine
0:09:26 > 0:09:28of the Institute of Physics?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Again, physics, not my speciality.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- I don't know but I'll go down the middle with Physics Now.- OK.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43The name of the magazine is Physics - I'll give you that,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46it's in it - Physics World.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48A chance, CJ, to go through.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Which of the following is a set of criteria used by physicians
0:09:52 > 0:09:55to decide if a patient requires an ankle X-ray
0:09:55 > 0:09:58and is named after the city in which the theory was developed?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Well... There's no point trying to think this through.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10It's one of those things you either know or you don't.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Um... Vancouver is way over on the west coast
0:10:13 > 0:10:17and I don't particularly associate with that being a...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20powerhouse of technology or anything.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Montreal...is.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25And Ottawa...
0:10:25 > 0:10:29probably is but less so, possibly more financial in Ottawa.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- So...I will try Montreal. - OK, Montreal ankle rules.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37As you say, if you don't know it you're guessing again.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Montreal ankle rules is incorrect.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Does any...? Have any idea?- ALL:- No.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47It is the Ottawa ankle rules.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51OK, it's all square, Bob, so we're going to go to Sudden Death,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54remove the options, so it's harder if you have to guess.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Bob, which planet in the solar system
0:10:57 > 0:11:00is named for the Roman god of War?
0:11:00 > 0:11:06If I take my lead from Holst, it would be Mars.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Would be, that's the right answer.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17And, CJ, deuterium is a form of which gas?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Deuterium is used in heavy water, isn't it, which is H20.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24So I would assume it's either hydrogen or oxygen.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Ah. Ah! Ah!
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- DE...- Right. - Could mean double, two.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36And you've got O for oxygen and O3, which is ozone,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40so I wonder if O2 is deuterium.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Don't know this but I will try oxygen.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46HE WHIMPERS
0:11:46 > 0:11:48HE CHUCKLES
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I'm sorry, CJ, it's just the sight of the other Eggheads.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54They're beating their heads off the desk,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56banging them against each other.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- It's hydrogen.- Good. - Bad luck, CJ.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03It is hydrogen, not oxygen. It's great news for you, Bob.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Let's reflect on that. You're in the final round as well.- Thank you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Would you both come back and join your teams, please.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Getting even better for The Oakies.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14They haven't lost any brains yet and the Eggheads have lost two.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17We play Round Three now and this one is Film and Television.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Who'd like to play this from The Oakies? It's you three gentlemen
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- in the middle.- I definitely don't want to do Film and TV.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25OK, that makes it pretty straightforward, I think.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Me? OK. Who do I choose?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Who shall we knock off next?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Film and TV...
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Try Chris.- Yeah? - I think you're right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Can I take Chris, please?- OK, it's going to be Adrian from The Oakies
0:12:39 > 0:12:41playing Chris from the Eggheads.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44And Roger there saying who shall they knock out next?
0:12:44 > 0:12:45LAUGHTER
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- Let's see about that.- I didn't say that.- No, you didn't, in fairness.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52It's fine to say if you're not going into the Question Room.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55It's Adrian and Chris who are heading there for me, please.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Adrian, I know you're not tempting fate by predicting any outcome
0:12:59 > 0:13:01to this round, so let's just play it, shall we?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11OK, good luck, Adrian. First question.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14In 2009 Tom Ellis took on the role of the chef
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Gary Preston in which sitcom?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I haven't even got anything to be able to rule out on this,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25so all that thinking's gone.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I'm just going to take a wild guess at Miranda.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30THEY LAUGH
0:13:30 > 0:13:34OK, wild guess. Well, you've landed it, it's the right answer.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Chris, first question. In 2013 who became the first coach to announce
0:13:41 > 0:13:45their departure from the TV series The Voice UK?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Am I thinking Pygmalion...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54or was it Eliza Doolittle? Who I'll have to go with.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56OK, Eliza Doolittle.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00There was only one of them that was on it and it's...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Jessie J who left.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Good start, Adrian. Second question.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Lucie Green and Chris Lintott became the regular presenters of which
0:14:11 > 0:14:14TV programme in February 2013?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I'm going to rule out Sky At Night - probably wrongly.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I'm going to rule that out. Erm...
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I've heard bits and bobs about MasterChef,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30so I'm not going to go for that. I'm going to stab at Countryfile.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34OK, you think Countryfile presenters.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37It's not the right answer.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Chris?- Didn't they take over The Sky At Night after Patrick Moore died?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Yep, Sky At Night.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46OK, a chance to get in the game, Chris.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Which actress co-starred with Jack Nicholson in the 1980s films
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Heartburn and Ironweed?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58It's between Meg Ryan and Michelle Pfeiffer. Um...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Michelle Pfeiffer.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05It wasn't between either of them, it's Meryl Streep.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07All right.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12Well, you'll win the round if you give me a correct answer, Adrian.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16In the 1989 film Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18who played Dr Elsa Schneider?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I don't know why I'm going to say Orla Brady
0:15:24 > 0:15:26but I'm going to say Orla Brady.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29OK.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30It's not.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32It is Alison Doody.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Chris can still get in the game with a correct answer here.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39If not, you're in the final round.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Chris, the 1965 film Shenandoah starring James Stewart
0:15:42 > 0:15:44is set during which conflict?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Yeah, he's a pacifist Quaker caught up in the American Civil War.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Is the right answer, yes.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Low scoring but it's all square, 1-1, and we go to Sudden Death.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Adrian, which TV show's famous theme tune includes the lyrics,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05"Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got"?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I have not a clue.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I can't even do a wild guess on that.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Erm...I've had a complete blank.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Are you going to pass, Adrian?- I'm going to pass on that one.- Eggheads?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- CJ:- It's Cheers. - Cheers.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23"Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got."
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Chance for Chris. This would be a turnaround.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Been staring at ejection for most of the early exchanges
0:16:29 > 0:16:31but this to win it, Chris.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35What is the surname of both of the top billed actors
0:16:35 > 0:16:38in the 2013 sci-fi film After Earth?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41That's Will Smith and his son, so it's Smith.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- Do you know his son's name? - Er...
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Jaden?- Yep.- Ooh! - Will and Jaden Smith.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50All we needed was Smith,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53which means you have pulled one back for the Eggheads.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Chris, you're in the final round and Adrian, you won't be.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03The Oakies have now lost one brain from the final round.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05The Eggheads have lost two and it could be all square
0:17:05 > 0:17:08in the final round, depending on the outcome of this final head-to-head.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12It's Sport, so which Oakie would like to play it?
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Roger or Paul?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Roger, this is your... - Captain says me.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I'm rubbish at sport.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23All right, Roger, who would you like to choose, Barry or Kevin?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Try Barry.- Yeah, I'll go for Barry.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29OK, let's have Roger and Barry into the Question Room, please.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Roger, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Good luck, Roger. First question.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Which English Premier League football team plays home matches
0:17:43 > 0:17:45at the Etihad Stadium?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Well, it's not West Ham, they play at Upton Park,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55sometimes called the Boleyn Ground.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I think it's Manchester City that play at the Etihad.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01It is. Right answer. Good start, Roger.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Barry, which sportsman,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08who announced his retirement from Olympic sailing in order to
0:18:08 > 0:18:11concentrate on the America's Cup was knighted in the 2013
0:18:11 > 0:18:13New Year's Honours List?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18This was Ben Ainslie, who performed the remarkable feat
0:18:18 > 0:18:20in the America's Cup.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24He was brought in to help the Oracle Team who were trailing 7-1.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28And first to make 8. And when Ben Ainslie came in they turned
0:18:28 > 0:18:32a 7-1 deficit into an 8-7 victory. Truly remarkable.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- No, that's not right. - OK, well, he did turn it round
0:18:35 > 0:18:38but the Eggheads are disagreeing about the scale of the turnaround.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- It was 8-1 to 9-8.- It was 8-1 and he turned it around to 9-8.- Ah.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Knew it was something like that. - That wasn't what we were asking,
0:18:45 > 0:18:49just wanted to know it's Sir Ben Ainslie.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Well done, Barry.
0:18:50 > 0:18:56Roger, in July 2013, Maria Sharapova hired which former Wimbledon
0:18:56 > 0:19:00winner as her new coach, but then sacked him after only one match?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Oh, I don't know. I don't know.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Um...I'm going to go for...
0:19:09 > 0:19:11..Pat Rafter.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16OK, Pat Rafter, hired and rapidly fired by Maria Sharapova.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18It's not.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- CJ?- Pat Rafter never won Wimbledon, I'm afraid, it was Jimmy Connors.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Jimmy Connors.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Will Barry capitalise?
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Barry, in Rugby League,
0:19:31 > 0:19:36which stadium hosted the 2013 Super League Grand Final?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41There's been no Super League Grand Final ever been hosted
0:19:41 > 0:19:43at Hampden Park.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I believe this was at Old Trafford.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49It was, so you have capitalised by taking the lead there,
0:19:49 > 0:19:50and you need this, Roger.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55The former track and field athlete Gillian Cooke won a gold medal
0:19:55 > 0:19:59at which winter sports World Championships in 2009?
0:20:03 > 0:20:09It's quite a switch from track and field to winter sports.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13And the kind of build that you need for track and field
0:20:13 > 0:20:16probably doesn't fit figure-skating.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Bobsleigh or ski jumping.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23The Europeans tend to be better at ski jumping.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'm going to go for bobsleigh.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29OK, you ruled out figure-skating and you were right to do so.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33You then came down to those two and ruled out ski jumping,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36which is the right decision as well. It's bobsleigh, well done.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Barry, the Congolese-born sportsman Dikembe Mutombo
0:20:44 > 0:20:47found fame in the United States playing which sport?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I've never heard of a Congolese ice hockey player.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I mean, that would be an utter surprise and shock to me,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58so I'm going to rule that out straightaway.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01A lot of fine Africans have come to the States
0:21:01 > 0:21:03who have played basketball.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05But I can't think of many that have come and played baseball.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08So, on that principal alone, I'll go for basketball.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11OK, basketball.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Agreement from the Eggheads. It's the right answer, Barry.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15You have got through,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18in spite of that very good answer by Roger on his third one
0:21:18 > 0:21:22but had that slip up in the middle, which you did capitalise on,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24which means you will be in the final round, Barry,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27and, Roger, you won't. Would you both come back and join your teams.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31And this is what we've playing towards -
0:21:31 > 0:21:34it's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:21:36 > 0:21:38allowed to take part in this round,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42so Adrian and Roger from The Oakies, and Dave and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45would you all leave the studio, please.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Trevor, Paul and Bob, you're playing to win The Oakies £6,000.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Kevin, Barry and Chris,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54you are playing for something which money cannot buy -
0:21:54 > 0:21:56the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm going to ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01The questions are all general knowledge
0:22:01 > 0:22:02and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07So, Oakies, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Trevor, Paul and Bob, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Stick with our plan.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Dermot, we're going to stick to the plan and go first.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19OK, good luck, Oakies. First question.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Which Canadian Province has a shoreline on Lake Erie?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29British Columbia's the other side of the country.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Toronto is just up from Niagara, isn't it?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- You've just been. - Yeah, just up from Niagara.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Which is on...
0:22:38 > 0:22:42One of the... The lakes. Lake Erie?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Lake Ontario that's on.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Yukon seems to be out in the sticks somewhere.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- My guess would be Ontario. - Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I think we've got to go for that.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Dermot, I think we're going to go for Ontario.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59You got the right answer, well done.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Ontario, with a shoreline on Lake Erie.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06Eggheads, what is the meaning of the old-fashioned term "ack-emma"?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Before noon.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16It's a reference to AM, so it's before noon.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19OK, before noon is the right answer.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23OK, Oakies, who starred as the vocalist with the group
0:23:23 > 0:23:27The Weird Sisters in the film Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Not a Harry Potter fan. - I've never seen Harry Potter.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Never seen any Potter films.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41We'll have to work out who's the best...or the weirdest one.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Who would have had a role in a film like that?
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- If I was going to cast someone in a film to look...- Weird.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51..weird, it would be Jarvis Cocker.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Because he's a little bit on the...
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- eccentric side, left field, maybe. - Yeah.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Shall we go for that? Are you happy?- I'll go with you.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Dermot, I think we're going to go for Jarvis Cocker.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06OK, and you haven't seen it, so you're just trying to
0:24:06 > 0:24:10cast in your mind who would fit with The Weird Sisters.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Think Jarvis Cocker would be the best fit.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Well, so did the producers, it's the right answer.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Jarvis Cocker.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19OK, Eggheads, Cautley Spout,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21one of England's highest waterfalls
0:24:21 > 0:24:23is in which national park?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I would have said the Yorkshire Dales.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31The Tees comes over the escarpment.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- There's a few Spouts in the Dales. - Yeah.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Pretty certain it's not Exmoor. - None on Exmoor at all.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- The Peak District hasn't really got any waterfalls.- No, it hasn't.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I'm pretty certain it's the Dales.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47We're going to go for the Yorkshire Dales.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Cautley Spout is in...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52the Yorkshire Dales, correct, Eggheads.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Third question for the Oakies.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59How many different constituencies did Winston Churchill represent
0:24:59 > 0:25:01during his political career?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I was going to say one.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11..I think it was Woodford Green but that doesn't help at all.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- Nine seems... - Nine seems excessive, doesn't it?
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Five's a gut feel.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Shall we go for five?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Feels more comfortable. - I feel more comfortable with five.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Five.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I think we're going to give the answer as five.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32OK, you're going for five.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34And the answer is...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37five. Correct.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40You need to get this one, Eggheads.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43The writer Beatrix Potter bred and won many prizes
0:25:43 > 0:25:47at agricultural shows for which creature?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55She... Well, later in life
0:25:55 > 0:25:58she farmed in the Lake District.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59And it was Herdwick sheep.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Yes, that's right, Eggheads. We go to Sudden Death.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05OK, Oakies, don't wince, you're doing well.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08But it is a lot harder without those options. We're taking those away.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Here's your question.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Which member of the Monty Python comedy team was appointed
0:26:13 > 0:26:18the Provost's Visiting Professor at Cornell University in 2006?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22The first one I would rule out, cos I think he died some time ago,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24earlier than 2006, is Graham Chapman.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29- Think he died quite a long time ago. - He died way back.- That leaves four.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- That leaves four.- Who was the cartoonist, the American?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Terry Gilliam.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36He was the cartoonist.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39If I was going to guess it would be John Cleese.
0:26:39 > 0:26:45- But...would the location of Cornell be any help?- No, I don't think so.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I'd still go for the American guy.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52I think we're got to go with you. I can't better that.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Dermot, we're going to...
0:26:54 > 0:26:56We're going to go with Bob on this one.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59We're going to go with Terry Gilliam.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01OK, Terry Gilliam.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It's John Cleese.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06The other one you said.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Eggheads, to win it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10No Thoroughfare is a stage play
0:27:10 > 0:27:16and novel written by Charles Dickens and which other Victorian author?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Unless you know otherwise, his great friend
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- and collaborator was Wilkie Collins. - Oh, of course, yeah.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24But I don't know that that's right for this particular work.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- That makes perfect sense.- But they did work on both plays and novels.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Two or three things together, yeah.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32So...
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- It makes, doesn't it? - Makes sense.- Makes sense.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Don't recognise the title of the work for sure
0:27:38 > 0:27:42but Dickens was great friends with, and collaborated on a number
0:27:42 > 0:27:45of stage and literary works with Wilkie Collins.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- So, we'll say Wilkie Collins. - No Thoroughfare is a stage play
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and novel written by Charles Dickens and...
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Wilkie Collins. It's correct, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04That was very close. Thank you very much for playing the Eggheads.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Thank you very much for entertaining us twice
0:28:07 > 0:28:09because you entertained us musically, of course,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11and best of luck with all that singing in the future
0:28:11 > 0:28:14and you entertained us with your quizzing knowledge as well.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- So thank you for that as well. - Our pleasure.- Pleasure.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:19 > 0:28:22and their winning streak continues. I'm afraid you won't be going home
0:28:22 > 0:28:25with the £6,000 and that means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:28 > 0:28:31to defeat the Eggheads. £7,000 says they don't.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Until then, goodbye.
