0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. And taking on our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:38are the Ghost Hunters. This team of friends are all members
0:00:38 > 0:00:40of the same paranormal society,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42and regularly travel up and down the country
0:00:42 > 0:00:45investigating spooky goings-on.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Barri, I'm 34 and I'm an operations manger.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Hella, I'm 42 and I'm a cake-decorator and student.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 41 and I'm a bar manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Toni, I'm 45 and I'm a hairdresser.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Phil, I'm 46 and I'm a hatchery operative.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Well, welcome to you, Ghost Hunters. As I say,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11travelling up and down the country investigating spooky goings-on.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Well, you're in the right place here, I can tell you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16My goodness, me, what a collection there.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Can I take it it's just five of you playing today,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21or might you be getting some spiritual help?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Ooh, that'd be good, wouldn't it? - Interested?- Any help is good.- Yep.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Barri, tell me about it, then.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31How did you get together, how did you form it and what do you do?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Well, we are professional paranormal investigators.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38And myself and my best friend, Ian there, co-founded the team,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and we set up this society to help other people understand
0:01:41 > 0:01:43the nature of paranormal activity.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45What led you to do that?
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Had you had a paranormal experience,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48you'd both had experiences yourselves?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51We did, we both had experiences growing up as children.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Very different, but...sort of inspired us to carry on researching
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- and looking into what we do now. - OK, and how do you do it?
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I mean, I suppose a lot of us see things like Ghostbusters.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Do you have electronic wizardry
0:02:04 > 0:02:07or do you just rely on your own instinct and feelings?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Well, we do. We use gadgets, you know, technology to try
0:02:10 > 0:02:12and ascertain real results, tangible evidence.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- That's what we look for.- Yeah.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16And what do you think about the Ghostbusters question?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Let me put it this way, if the tune comes on at a disco, do you dance
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- or do you sit down and say, "This is rubbish."- Absolutely dance.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26OK. Right, well, let's quiz. Every day,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37So, Ghost Hunters, the Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41and that means £8,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Shall we start? Why not?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Let's have our first head-to-head battle, then,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49and this is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Any one of you can take this head-to-head on.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Who's it going to be?- It's going to be me.- Yeah?- Going to be Toni.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58OK, Toni, and choose any of those Eggheads, then.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I would like to play with Kevin.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03OK. Play with and play against Kevin.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04- Do whatever you like with him! - LAUGHTER
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Let's have Toni and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13So, Toni, tell us about your paranormal experiences.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, I've had quite a few. I haven't seen a lot of things,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- but I've heard a lot of things. - Like what?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Lots of breaths, people chasing me. Weird things.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Crikey! It's like every day in the Eggheads dressing room!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30But seriously, has this been going on for a long time?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Yeah, I've heard a lot of...I tend to hear things more than see things.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Um, I've heard a lot... I hear a lot of children's voices,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42which is quite weird. That can be quite scary.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Absolutely. How did you find out about the society?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Well, I wanted to challenge myself to do something absolutely terrifying,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54to see if I could do it. It's just something I've always fancied doing.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I'm not very good in the dark, so... It's a challenge for myself.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00It's nice and bright here,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03but challenging yourself to do something terrifying,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07that probably fits the bill for playing Kevin at Eggheads!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Um, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16OK, it's Film & Television, Toni. Best of luck.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21The 2013 film Rush is set in the world of which sport?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Hmm, doesn't sound like football
0:04:25 > 0:04:27cos football's a little bit dull, I think.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Um...fencing, no. Not feeling fencing,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- so I'm going to go for Formula 1.- Formula 1?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Yes, of course it is, that's correct.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37ALL: Woo!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39DERMOT LAUGHS
0:04:39 > 0:04:43All about James Hunt. Right, Kevin, in which decade
0:04:43 > 0:04:47was The Jeremy Kyle Show first broadcast on British TV?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I really don't know when that started, I'm afraid.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00I wouldn't imagine it was the 2010s. It's not that recent.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Did it start as far back as the '90s?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Oh, no, I'll say the 2000s.
0:05:07 > 0:05:122000s is the correct answer. OK, Toni, second question.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Sophie Reade and Luke Anderson
0:05:14 > 0:05:17are former winners of which reality television series?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, I think that's the one programme I'm absolutely
0:05:24 > 0:05:27addicted to, so I'm going for Big Brother.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Big Brother, yes, that's the right answer.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31ALL: Woo!
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Kevin, who played Tullus Aufidius in Ralph Fiennes'
0:05:37 > 0:05:412011 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Coriolanus?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Yes, I did see this.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Um, I'm just conjuring up visions of Bruce Willis playing that,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52but it's Gerard Butler.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56It is Gerard Butler, that's correct. It's two-all.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Toni, third question. Which US soap opera began in the mid-1960s
0:06:01 > 0:06:05and ran for 514 episodes?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Hmm...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I'm not too sure about this one.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Um...1960s.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I'm going to go for a rough guess. The Young And The Restless.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Young And The Restless.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Mid-1960s and ran for 514 episodes,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- It is Peyton Place.- Oh!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33So a chance there, third question
0:06:33 > 0:06:37for Kevin. Peter Krause and Michael C Hall
0:06:37 > 0:06:39were the stars of which American drama series?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Well, again, it's not something I watch,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49but I don't think they were in either of the others.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Michael C Hall went on later to sort of get more famous in Dexter.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Um, but I...
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Neither of those, I'm sure, was in either The Wire or NCIS.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So I think it's got to be Six Feet Under.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Six Feet Under.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08It's the right answer, Kevin. You're through to the final round.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11A rather appropriate answer, given what we were
0:07:11 > 0:07:15discussing there with Toni before the off there.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Er, Toni, it means you won't be in the final round.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I'm sorry, you're not playing for the money today.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Bad luck, Toni. Going well there until that third question.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Kevin won the round, which means Ghost Hunters have
0:07:29 > 0:07:32lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads are all there.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Let's play our second round today and let's have a look. It's Music.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Who'd like to play this? - We'll have to go with Ian.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40THEY CONFER
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- You take it.- OK.- Cos you like Sport. Can you do Sport?- Yeah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- It will be Ian?- Ian? Playing music. - Looks like I'm doing that one.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51And you can choose any of the four remaining Eggheads, not Kevin.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Try Barry.- I think I'm going to go for Barry.- Barry?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57OK, Ian and Barry on this one, it's Music.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Into the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Ian, tell me about your musical tastes.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Um, quite varied. But mostly towards rock.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Older type of rock.- OK. Well, let's hope you get some of that coming up.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Would you like to go first or second?- Um, I'll go first.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Good luck, Ian, here's your first question.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Which of these is the title of a UK top 10 single by the Pet Shop Boys?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I think I'll probably go for Rent.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- THEY LAUGH - Not Home Contents Insurance?- No.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Brilliant!
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Who wrote that question? It is brilliant! It's all a good laugh.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- ALL: Woo!- It's the right answer, of course! Rent!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46DERMOT SNIGGERS
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Home Contents Insurance! Loving it! OK, Barry.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52In Forbes magazine's 2013 list
0:08:52 > 0:08:54of the world's most powerful celebrities,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57who was the highest placed musician?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I would've liked to have thought it would be a classical musician,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06but I'll bet the answer to this one must be Lady Gaga.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11It must be. It is, yes, that's correct. OK, Ian...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Which song from The Sound Of Music begins with the lines
0:09:13 > 0:09:15"You wait, little girl, on an empty stage
0:09:15 > 0:09:17"for fate to turn the light on"?
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Hmm. Now, that's one that I... It's way out of my taste.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Um... The only one I really know is Edelweiss.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33So I'd probably have to go with that one.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36OK, Edelweiss, you're not a Sound Of Music fan?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- No, not really, no. - Unlike Barry. I mean, he has...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42You have Sound Of Music nights every weekend round yours?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Dressing up in curtains?- Oh, yes. I prefer to dress up as a nun!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48LAUGHTER
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Right! OK, there's a little insight.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Um, what do you think, Barry? Is it Edelweiss?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'd have gone for Sixteen Going on Seventeen.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Yeah, "you wait, little girl." It is Sixteen Going on Seventeen, Ian,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04so nothing there. Barry doesn't get the bonus, just out of interest.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Barry, this is your question.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Who reached the top of the UK singles chart in 1965
0:10:11 > 0:10:12with The Carnival Is Over?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Well, you've now hit my taste in music,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21because I like all three of those acts,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24but The Carnival Is Over is indisputably The Seekers.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26The Seekers.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28That is correct.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30So you have the lead, which means
0:10:30 > 0:10:32you need this, Ian.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Teenage Rampage and Fox On The Run
0:10:34 > 0:10:38were mid-1970s UK hit singles for which group?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Mud doesn't really say anything.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49Um, Slade does, um, so I think I will probably go for Slade.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I remember those as a kid.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56OK, Slade for Teenage Rampage and Fox On The Run.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00It's not correct, Ian. Barry, do you now?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- I don't really. I'd have gone for Sweet.- Yeah, well,
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- other Eggheads will confirm it? - Sweet, yeah.- It's Sweet, not Slade,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Ian, which means we don't need to put another question
0:11:10 > 0:11:14to Barry. He's already amassed two points and you can't beat that.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16It means there's no place for you, Ian, in the final round.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Well, as it stands, Ghost Hunters have lost
0:11:23 > 0:11:26two brains from the final round. The Eggheads are all still there.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Still lots of quizzing to do, though. Let's play our next subject.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Round three - Arts & Books.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Who'd like to play this one? We have...
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Hella, Phil or Barri.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Yeah, I'll give it a go. - Give it a go.- Yeah, give it a go.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Phil?- Yeah.- OK, on Art & Books.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Now, choose an Egghead, remembering that Barry and Kevin have played,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47so CJ, Dave or Pat are available for you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Pat.- Pat? That was decisive.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Let's have Phil and Pat into the Question Room, please.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58OK, well, Phil, tell us about your paranormal experiences.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Um, I once had an experience
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and saw a small girl pass through a doorway
0:12:03 > 0:12:07when we were investigating a small tearoom in Oxfordshire,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10which actually shook me, because one of the members of our team
0:12:10 > 0:12:14saw the same girl about five minutes before me
0:12:14 > 0:12:18and we both saw the same figure, so that was really strange.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21So how does that work? You say you're investigating this place.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Do you go there as a kind of hit squad, called in, what happens?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Now, they called us in.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29We have a helpline that's set up and, um,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31people phone us and ask us our opinions
0:12:31 > 0:12:34and our valid advice that we give them,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38so, we were asked to come and investigate, which we did.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Wow, you really are a bit like the Ghostbusters, then.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- No, we don't bust ghosts. - No, I know, but you respond,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- you're on the end of the line? - Yes, we are, yeah.- My goodness me.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50OK, well, Phil, let's play the round. Arts & books.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59All right, first question is this, Phil, and good luck with it.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Baroness Orczy's famous novel, The Scarlet Pimpernel,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07originally found an audience in 1903 in what form?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Um, I don't think it would be a tapestry.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I'll go for... Comic strip.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- OK, a comic strip for The Scarlet Pimpernel.- Stab in the dark.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29A stab in the dark. Um, you've stabbed in the wrong place.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- It was originally a play.- Oh!
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Not a comic strip. OK...
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Pat, in the 19th-century French play Cyrano De Bergerac,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42which part of the title character's body is unusually large?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49He was played in a film by Depardieu
0:13:49 > 0:13:52who had a big prosthetic nose applied,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- so he had a very large nose. - He did, that's the right answer
0:13:55 > 0:13:58and, er, we go back, then, to Phil
0:13:58 > 0:13:59for your second question, Phil.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02In Jean-Honore Fragonard's famous painting, The Swing,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04what item of the woman's clothing
0:14:04 > 0:14:07can be seen flying off in the direction of a statue of Cupid?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Um... I don't think it will be a glove,
0:14:13 > 0:14:19cos she'd have to hold on to the swing, so I'll go for bonnet.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- OK, bonnet, hat, that kind of thing?- Yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25On a swing, could easily fly off, but it's not,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27it's the other thing that could fly off.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Oh!- It's her shoe.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I'm afraid so.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Well, it could be over right now if Pat gets this.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38The victory of Germany and Japan in World War II
0:14:38 > 0:14:42is the premise of which speculative novel by Philip K Dick?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Er, I haven't read any of these three books.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56A Scanner Darkly was made into a film at one point with Keanu Reeves in it.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I don't think it had a great deal to do with, er,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01World War II and its aftermath.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Time Out of Joint is tempting,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08just because it suggests playing games with the line of history.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14But I'm going to be reduced just to a random pick, I think.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Er, pretty much a complete guess. I'll go for Time Out of Joint.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Time Out of Joint. It's an answer out of joint. It's incorrect.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26It is The Man in the High Castle. So, well, are we going to get
0:15:26 > 0:15:30a comeback? You've got a slim chance here, Phil.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- Certainly.- The first step is getting this correct.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37The Kalevala, compiled in the 19th century,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40is considered a national epic of which country?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I don't think it will be Finland.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51And it's either a toss-up between Turkey and Spain.
0:15:51 > 0:15:57Kalevala sounds Spanish to me, so I'll say Spain.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- OK, Spain. Kalevala...- Yeah. - ..compiled in the 19th century
0:16:00 > 0:16:03is a national epic of...
0:16:03 > 0:16:09- The Finns!- Oh, really?- Finland. - Oh, dear.- I am afraid, it seems like
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- the spirits deserted you there, as you can see.- Certainly did.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Pat's done enough already to win his place in the final round.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17No place for you, Phil.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Well, so far, the Eggheads have exorcised
0:16:23 > 0:16:26three of the Ghost Hunters from the final round.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28The Eggheads haven't lost any brains.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29So, let's change it all.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Let's get one of you through on our next
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and last head-to-head. It's History.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37And who'd like to play this? Hella or Barri?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- It's gotta be Hella.- Mm-hm. - OK, Hella, choose an Egghead.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44It can be Dave or CJ.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- CJ?- CJ? I'm going to take on CJ.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51OK, Hella and CJ, head for the Question Room, please.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56OK, Hella, would you like to go first or second
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- on this History round? - I'll go first, please.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04OK, good luck, Hella. Here's your first question.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Which of Britain's industries was nationalised at the start of 1947?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'm really, really, really not sure there.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22I would go for livestock farming, just as a gut feeling.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25That's what I would choose.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It's not the right answer. Know, CJ?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Coal mining.- Coal mining in 1947.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36OK, CJ, your first question. Which country was governed
0:17:36 > 0:17:42by a Communist party known as the SED from 1949 until 1989?
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Well, I think the year there is the clue, of '89, um...
0:17:49 > 0:17:53which is when, um, Germany started to get back together,
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- so I'll say East Germany.- Yeah, and plenty of other clues there,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00given that the other two countries never had Communist governments
0:18:00 > 0:18:04and, in actual fact, from Portugal's point of view, far from it.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Um, so, right, so we put a British question to Hella the German
0:18:09 > 0:18:13and we've put, as it turns out, a partly German question
0:18:13 > 0:18:17to the Brit there, CJ, but you got yours correct.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Um, it's one to CJ, then.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22OK, Hella, let's get you on the board, hopefully, with this one.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Which of these islands became a British Crown Colony in 1925?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Tasmania? Wasn't that in...?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I'm not sure. But Cyprus or Tasmania I would go for.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I'm not quite sure.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- I'll go for Cyprus.- Thank goodness! It's the right answer.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46- Well done. - ALL: Woo!
0:18:49 > 0:18:51A couple of unfortunate questions from your point of view
0:18:51 > 0:18:53in that I guess you didn't study much British history
0:18:53 > 0:18:57when you were at school, but there, you've got one.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00So, CJ, how old was Winston Churchill
0:19:00 > 0:19:03when he resigned as Prime Minister in 1955?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Er, not 90. Let me just check.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11He died in '65.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18Er, and I think he was 90 when he died, um...
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I think he was born in 1874.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26So if you was 90 when he died 10 years earlier,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28he'd have been 80, so 80.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- 80?- Mm-hm.- OK.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34It's the right answer, CJ, well worked out. So, Hella...
0:19:34 > 0:19:39Third question. What type of weapon was a poniard?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44What type of weapon was a poniard?
0:19:44 > 0:19:48P-O-N-I-A-R-D.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Sounds French to me.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Poniard.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Mace? Either mace or dagger, I would say.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I'll go for the dagger.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- You've got it! Well done! - Well done!
0:20:04 > 0:20:05- ALL: Woo! - Well done, Hella!
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Is this a dagger I see before me? Well...
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- HELLA: Ooh! - You got it!
0:20:11 > 0:20:16And, er, CJ's still got a chance, though, here.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Got to hope he doesn't get it. CJ, in America in the 1950s,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24the Atoms for Peace Award, for people who contributed to the
0:20:24 > 0:20:29peaceful use of nuclear technology, was established by which company?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I haven't heard of this award, so that's a good start.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Um... Atoms for Peace.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46I don't know this, but if you're looking for a major award,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49something to promote things, you want something,
0:20:49 > 0:20:54a company that's been around for a while, has plenty of resources,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- so, purely from a financial point of view, I'll try Ford.- OK, Ford!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01The Atoms for Peace Award for people who contributed
0:21:01 > 0:21:04to the peaceful use of nuclear technology was established
0:21:04 > 0:21:08by Ford! It is correct, CJ, well worked out.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Bad luck, Hella!
0:21:09 > 0:21:10It was just that first question
0:21:10 > 0:21:14which, as I say, wasn't really going to be on your radar there.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I was actually thinking about mines,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18like knowing other history about mines,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21but then, I thought, "Nah, it's too easy!" And then, hmm!
0:21:21 > 0:21:23What a pity. Going really well there.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26But, um, rather hobbled by that first answer,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29which means no place in the final round. CJ will be there.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35And so, this is what we've been playing towards, it's time
0:21:35 > 0:21:38for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41But I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:41 > 0:21:42won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46so, Hella, Ian, Toni and Phil from the Ghost Hunters,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48would you please leave the studio?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53OK, then, Barri, you're playing to win the Ghost Hunters £8,000.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Pat, Dave, Kevin, CJ and Barry,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58you're playing for something which no amount of money
0:21:58 > 0:22:01could possibly buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06This time, the questions are all General Knowledge, Barry,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08and you would've been allowed to confirm, obviously,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10if any of your team-mates had got through.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11So, the question is, Barri,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16And, Barri, how do you want to play this tactically?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Best of luck, Barri, first question in the final round.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Which year saw the release
0:22:28 > 0:22:31of the popular aerobics video Jane Fonda's Workout?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Which year saw the release
0:22:37 > 0:22:41of the popular aerobics video Jane Fonda's Workout?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Jane Fonda's Workout?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Now, see, Jane Fonda was quite popular, I think, in the '80s.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I mean, I vaguely remember her and I was born right at the end of
0:22:49 > 0:22:53the '70s, but then, I just remember her wearing those legwarmers.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Those funny coloured legwarmers, um... Workout video...
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Probably quite popular in the '80s, I think, on VHS,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- so I'm going to go with 1982. - OK, 1982. Yeah, video there.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09OK, so that allowed you to think, "Get rid of 1972."
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I know, er, you're a big fan of it, Pat.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Is it 1982?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Um... It's... Well, I'm not sure.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- I'm not sure.- That's it. - Yes.- Really?
0:23:18 > 0:23:23- Well, she was a big star during the '70s, um...- Video?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- Yeah, on video, probably 1982.- Yeah, he's right. Well done, Barri. 1982.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32OK, Eggheads, in retail, what name is given to
0:23:32 > 0:23:34an item offered for sale at an unprofitable price
0:23:34 > 0:23:38in order to draw customers into making other purchases?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43In retail, what name is given
0:23:43 > 0:23:46to an item offered for sale at an unprofitable price
0:23:46 > 0:23:49in order to draw customers into making other purchases?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- We'll go with loss leader? - Loss leader?- What do you think?
0:23:52 > 0:23:53- Loss leader?- I think so.- Yeah.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Er, we'd like to go for loss leader, please, Dermot.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Loss leader is the right answer, Eggheads. Barri...
0:24:01 > 0:24:06Second question. Dr Zarkov was a character from which comic strip?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Dr Zarkov - Z-A-R-K-O-V.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Dr Zarkov was a character in which comic strip?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21OK, now, I've heard of this.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27But...I don't know. I'm going to have to take a guess, really.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Buck Rogers, I don't think it's Buck Rogers.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I don't know why, I just don't think it is.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Dr Zarkov.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I'm torn between Flash Gordon and Dan Dare.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I think I'll go with the middle one, Dan Dare.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47OK. Dan Dare for Dr Zarkov.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Eggheads - Flash Gordon, Dan Dare, he was choosing between.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Flash Gordon.- Wrong one, I'm afraid.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Oh, it's Flash Gordon, Barri, Flash Gordon.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Wasn't he memorably played in the film by Topol?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Yeah.- Oh, dear!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Yeah, worth watching.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07So, Flash Gordon there, Barri - unlucky,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10choosing between the two, but picked the wrong one.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Eggheads, your second question.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Whose advice did Andy Murray describe as "gold dust"
0:25:14 > 0:25:17during Wimbledon 2013?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Whose advice did Andy Murray describe as "gold dust"
0:25:24 > 0:25:26during Wimbledon 2013?
0:25:26 > 0:25:31Gold dust to absolutely anybody, of course, the best advice going.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35But I believe - discussing this - I think we'll go with Sir Alex.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It is Sir Alex Ferguson.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Sir - it should have a "Sir" there, I think.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It's Sir Alex Ferguson.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Sir Alex Ferguson -
0:25:42 > 0:25:45you have a shrine to him in your house, do you?
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Life-size statue?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Not allowed it by the wife.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I would do, I would do.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54They built one at Old Trafford, anyway. That's good enough.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58It is SIR Alex Ferguson, as Dave points out there.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Gave Andy Murray...what kind of advice?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Did he let us know what the conversation was about?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06No, Murray actually never said what it was.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08People have asked him and he's said,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11"No, no, just very good advice."
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Yeah - must be some kind of motivation.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Encouragement, I think.- He followed him from the US Open, didn't he?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Flew out for the US Open Final in 2012, you know, to see him.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I think they built up a big bond.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Be interesting to learn more about those conversations, one suspects.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28But it is Alex Ferguson, which gives you the lead.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31And, Barri, let's keep you in the game.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Give us a right answer here, please.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36What nationality is Inspector Ghote,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40the detective created by the writer HRF Keating?
0:26:44 > 0:26:50What nationality is Inspector Ghote - G-H-O-T-E -
0:26:50 > 0:26:54the detective created by the writer HRF Keating?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58I don't know this one. I'm going to have to take another guess, I think.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I've never heard of him before.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I don't think it's Japanese. Um...
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Or Indian.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I'm going to have to go with Haitian.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Haitian for Inspector Ghote.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19What do you think, Eggheads?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- ALL:- Indian.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25It is Indian, Barri, and featuring in the...
0:27:25 > 0:27:28A whole series of books, dates back to the '60s.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34By HRF Keating. So not Haitian but Indian.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35So, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Barri, always tough, on your own, but thanks very much for coming along
0:27:43 > 0:27:45and all of you Ghost Hunters,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48telling us all about some of your experiences,
0:27:48 > 0:27:49both quizzing and paranormal.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Tell you what, Barri,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53what about taking this lot out ghost-hunting?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Absolutely, any time. You're more than welcome.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It'd be interesting from your point of view - I mean,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02these are largely rational people who would like to apply logic
0:28:02 > 0:28:06to situations which, I presume, you say would defy logic.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Absolutely, but we're always looking for that logical approach,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12that scepticism. It really brings a different element to it all.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Eggheads go ghost-hunting - that's something to look forward to.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Thanks again, and to your team-mates, for playing the Eggheads,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22but they've done what comes naturally to them, their winning streak continues,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £8,000.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28That means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:33 > 0:28:35have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39£9,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
