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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are Age And Beauty from Cambridge.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This friends and family team is comprised of old school friends.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45I'm guessing that must be the age part of their team name.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50And the beauty? Well, Andrew, that must be you. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Isaac, I'm 20,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and I'm studying economics at the University of York.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Neil, I'm 20,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and I'm studying physiology at Newcastle University.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Will, I'm 20, I'm studying history and philosophy
0:01:02 > 0:01:03at the University of Leeds.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hi, my name is Will,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm 21 and I'm studying geography at the University of Leeds.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hi, my name is Andrew, I'm 53 and I'm an insurance broker.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15OK, good to see you, Age And Beauty, I see.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18So you're mixing up the younger end of things
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and a bit of experience down the far end there.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Just explain to us, Isaac, the relationships.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26You three closest to me went to school together?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Yes, myself, Neil and the first Will are school friends.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35And Will Harrison is Will Ford's friend from Leeds University.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37So, a bit complicated, but...!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And Will Ford, Will F, you brought your dad along?
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Yeah. He was, you know, lost, needed some direction.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Thought I'd bring him down.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51OK, well, we've got that mixture, then, in the ages there.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Let's see how you do against the Eggheads today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:55 > 0:01:57up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So, Age And Beauty, the Eggheads have won the last nine games.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05It means we're into five figures,
0:02:05 > 0:02:10£10,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today. Right.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13As you know, the rules of the game are, you try and knock them out
0:02:13 > 0:02:15in four head-to-heads before the final round.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17The first of those head-to-heads is going to be
0:02:17 > 0:02:19on the subject of Geography.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21And who'd like to play it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I think we've already decided I'm going to take that one.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27OK, right, it's going to be you, Will H. And which Egghead?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Any of those five, it's the opening round.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I reckon I'm going to have to take on CJ with that shirt.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34LAUGHTER
0:02:34 > 0:02:37That shirt and some deficiencies in certain parts...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39HE HASTILY CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:02:39 > 0:02:41They've already picked you, doesn't matter!
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Let's have Will H and CJ into the question room, please.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Will, it's Geography, how good are you at it?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Why have you been picked for this?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I've been picked for it because I'm studying it for my degree.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57So I'm hoping that's going to help a little bit.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK, well, yeah. No pressure at all then, Will!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08OK, first question on Geography, Will.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Which of these words does not appear
0:03:11 > 0:03:14in any of the names of the 50 states of the USA?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Well, I know there's North and South Carolina,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23so I'm going to rule that one out.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24I'm going to go with...
0:03:29 > 0:03:30East.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33You've got it, yes, east is correct.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- So, North Dakota, one of the Norths, what about the West?- West Virginia.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41OK. Your first question, CJ.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43What is the official language of Costa Rica?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Do you know, I think that might be Spanish, Dermot!- Really?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- It might be. - Is that a wild guess?- Educated.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Yeah, it's the right answer, of course. OK, Will.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Prestatyn is in which area of Wales?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07I have to admit to you,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I am not particularly good at Welsh geography.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12So this is going to be a complete guess.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15And I'm going to go for...
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- ..the Vale of Glamorgan. - Vale of Glamorgan for Prestatyn.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Now, CJ, with all his deficiencies in his knowledge of the UK,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27actually, his radar does cover Wales. Is Will right?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Well, I do live in Wales and I have done for several years.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Glamorgan is on the south coast,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Ceredigion is on the west coast, Denbighshire is on the north coast.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Prestatyn is on the north coast so I think it's Denbighshire.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Put the two together, yes, it's Denbighshire, Will,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43so nothing there. CJ would have liked that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Not his question, see how he does with this one.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Heraklion is the capital of which Greek island?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I think it's Cephalonia. Um...
0:04:54 > 0:04:57No, hold on.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59This is unfortunately, is...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04..a very obvious symptom of not having quizzed for over two years.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06All the...
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Oh, dear. Basic capitals, and I've forgotten a lot of them.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15I used to know all these.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Just straight off.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Crete.- Oh!- Yeah.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Thought your first instinct was Cephalonia?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- It was, and then I started to think it through.- So you're ring-rusty?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm very, very rusty.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34The amount of stuff I've forgotten in the last two years is staggering.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37OK, but I love the way you say basic capitals.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I suppose to the Eggheads,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Greek islands are basic capitals, are they?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46You've got it, though, Heraklion, Crete, you changed your mind.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49You didn't take us into the thought process. Anyway, CJ has the lead.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Will, you need to get this correct.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54For which industry was Qatar best known
0:05:54 > 0:05:57before the discovery of oil and gas?
0:06:01 > 0:06:07As far as I'm aware, I don't believe there is any kind of pearl industry
0:06:07 > 0:06:09within the Middle East. I could be wrong.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I can't imagine sword-making other than in...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17as a traditional, cultural thing, is a big industry.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19So I'm going to go for basket-weaving.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- It's the one that you instantly discounted, it is pearl-diving.- Oh!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Which means the round's over, I'm sorry, Will.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29CJ has done enough to ensure his place in the final round.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Please come back and join your teams.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37OK, as it stands, Age And Beauty have lost one member of their team,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39the Eggheads are all there.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41We've only played one round, let's play another.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Next subject is Music, who wants to play this for Age And Beauty?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I think we agreed that was Isaac.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Unfortunately, I think I may be lumped with that.- OK, Isaac.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Right, well, choose an Egghead.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Remember, it can't be CJ, any of the other four.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Barry? I reckon Barry.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Barry? Barry.- Any reasoning for this?- Not at all!- No!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- No reasoning, but Barry, please. - OK, Isaac.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Barry, your favourite era is kind of disco bunny, from the '70s?
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- I must admit, I really do like ABBA. - Right, anything else?
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- Oh, lots of things.- OK. Well, let's demonstrate it in the question room.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Please, Isaac and Barry, into there, please.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26OK, Isaac. What about your taste in music?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29We know quite a lot about Barry, we don't want to discuss that any more.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Isaac, what do you like?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Well, generally my taste is slightly more modern than disco,
0:07:34 > 0:07:35although I do like some new disco.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39However, yeah, I think some of the questions could be quite challenging
0:07:39 > 0:07:42if it's more classical, because I'm not a big fan of classical music.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45All right. Let's hope you avoid those.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Do you want to take the first or second set?- I will go first, please.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55OK, then, Isaac. First question on music, and good luck.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Which band had a UK top 10 hit
0:07:57 > 0:08:00in 1980 with Another One Bites The Dust?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Well, I'm imagining the sound of Madness,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07because my dad's a bit of a fan.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I'm trying to imagine the song, I don't think it's a Madness song.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I think, for some reason, I'm going towards Queen.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16However, I'm not really sure why.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- I think maybe they could have done it so I'm going to go with Queen.- OK.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Queen. Yeah, it's the right answer, Queen is correct.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Well done, Isaac, good start.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Barry, what type of vehicle is in a swimming pool
0:08:29 > 0:08:33on the cover of the Oasis album Be Here Now?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Goodness! Haven't a clue. I shall go for London bus.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Right. No!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Of course not!- You surprise me!
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- I mean, you surprise yourself, don't you? It's a Rolls-Royce.- Oh!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- I thought they were more down-market.- It is a Rolls-Royce.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57So that's a Rolls-Royce start for you, then, Isaac.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01You have a 1-0 lead and can double that now.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Which of these composers is believed to have written 65 completed operas?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14I have not heard of the first and third answers, if I'm honest.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Which could be quite embarrassing if they're quite famous.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23I purely know Beethoven did a lot of work. But operas, though?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I know he's got a lot of symphonies, but I don't know...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29I'll purely guess for Beethoven, but...
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Ludwig van Beethoven, but no real reasoning to that.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34OK, Beethoven. Because you've heard of him!
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- Yes, pretty much, yes.- It's not the right answer. No, it's incorrect.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Barry?- It's Donizetti. - Donizetti, OK.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Well, still have the lead though, Isaac.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Let's see how Barry does with his second attempt.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Barry, in which year did the Rolling Stones release
0:09:49 > 0:09:53the famous album entitled Their Satanic Majesties Request?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Now, I'm just trying to think where this album is
0:10:01 > 0:10:04in the Rolling Stones discography.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09The Rolling Stones first released albums, I would guess, around 1964.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11And I don't think that was as early as that.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14And I certainly don't think it was as late as '87.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17So I'm going to plump down the middle for 1977.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20OK, execrable so far, Barry!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- HE LAUGHS - You're utter rubbish.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- You mean I'm not right?- No. You didn't really get that, did you?
0:10:28 > 0:10:33- No, you're really good. '67. - Oh, as early as that?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Their Satanic Majesties Request.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I thought that would be right up your street.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- No, I was a Beatles fan, and never a Stones fan.- OK.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And I suppose when it came to Oasis, you were always a Blur fan.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- HE LAUGHS - No!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Wrong side of the tracks on both.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Listen, Isaac, he's doing everything he can to help you here.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57That's two he's got wrong. OK. Well, this puts you through.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Who released the 1975 album, The Hissing Of Summer Lawns?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I can't say I've ever heard of that album.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I can't say I've heard of the first two,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13or really can think of what they might have been involved in.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16So I'll go straight down the middle again with Joni Mitchell.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17BARRY ROARS WITH LAUGHTER
0:11:17 > 0:11:20OK, I like your technique!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23It's like throwing darts blindfolded, really. Isn't it?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Pretty much.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Well, you're through to the final round, it's the right answer.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I mean, throwing darts blindfolded,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33better than Barry, anyway!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- He doesn't have a clue in there. - One of my favourite artists too.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39We'll get someone to bring you back from the question room,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41you'll need a bit of help.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- You'll have forgotten the way back by now.- Probably!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45You seem to have forgotten everything else.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK, Isaac, good news, you're in the final round.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50No place for Barry, good news for the Eggheads,
0:11:50 > 0:11:51imagine what damage he'd do!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Please come back and join your teams.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Well, normally we get informed discussion
0:11:57 > 0:12:00and reasoned logic in the question room there,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03as contestants and Eggheads try to work out the answers there.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07There, we just had blind guessing and Isaac got through.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Good to see it, Isaac, it evens it up.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12As it stands, Age And Beauty have lost one brain from the final round,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16the Eggheads have lost one as well. So we go to round three.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Our next subject, Film And Television.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Who wants to take this one on? We've got one Will left, Neil or Andrew.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27- I think it's going to have to be me. - OK, Will, and choose your Egghead.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31CJ and Barry have played so it's Kevin, Chris or Judith.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Can I take on Judith, please? - Course you can.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Pleased about that, Judith?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- I don't mind. I haven't got any choice.- Indeed!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42OK, Will and Judith, into the question room, please.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- So, Will, you study history and philosophy.- Yes, I do.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I thought you'd be too busy studying to watch any film or television.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- No, I work very, very hard indeed, obviously.- Course you do!
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- I don't have a TV. So, yeah. I watch a lot of films, though.- Oh, right.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Let's hope you get more films than television then.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12First question coming right up, Will, good luck with it.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17The drama series Foyle's War was originally set during which war?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Foyle. I'm pretty sure, OK...
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I literally have no idea. Um...
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Didn't stop Isaac.- I know, I know, I'm trying to think like Isaac.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Um...
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Something's telling me Crimean War. I don't know why.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- So I'm going to go, I'll go with that, please.- OK, Crimean War.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Obviously, never saw Foyle's War. Just a century or so out.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48It's World War II.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Bad luck. OK, Judith.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56The long-running television drama Heartbeat
0:13:56 > 0:13:58was set in which part of 1960s England?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I think it was Yorkshire.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Yes, Yorkshire is the right answer.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11So, Will, let's get you off the mark here.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Which actress plays the evil Queen in the 2012 film,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Snow White And The Huntsman?
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Did you see it?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- I missed that one, actually. - I wonder why!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Oh, this is awful! Um...
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- Down the middle, then. After Isaac. Julia Roberts.- OK, Julia Roberts.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Well, Barry is enjoying it after what he went through.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It's not Julia Roberts.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46It's Charlize Theron.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48And Judith goes through if she gets this.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53In which film did Jude Law play the role of Dickie Greenleaf?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03I don't think it's Closer. And I can't remember... Jude Law.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10..what the, not Mr Ripley, the other one, was called.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13And Sleuth, what on earth were they called?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I think it's The Talented Mr Ripley.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Talented Ms Keppel there, it is the right answer.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24You're through to the final round. Talented Mr Ripley. Bad luck.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27We don't get to see, I'm sure you would have got
0:15:27 > 0:15:30a bit of a head of steam up, if we'd managed to play a bit further.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- Course.- But that's it. You can't overhaul Judith's two points there.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Which means you're not in the final round.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Please come back and join your teams.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Well, that round means, as it stands now,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Age And Beauty have lost two brains from the final round.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47The Eggheads have lost one.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Our last head-to-head before the final round then is History.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- Oh, Will!- That's really irritating. - Oh, dear me.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58And you can't play it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01It is either Andrew or Neil for this History round.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Well, I think we're leaving the beauty, as Andrew, to the end.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- So I'll take that, please, Dermot. - OK, Neil.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And you can choose from Chris or Kevin on the Egghead side.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- I think they're both going to be tough.- Go for Chris, please, Dermot.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16They are going to be tough, yeah. You're having Chris though.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Let's have Neil and Chris into the question room, please.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, Neil, you can relax in there, really.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26When you see Brain of Britain Barry scoring a spectacular zero,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28the bar's not been sent too high.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- Neil, would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Dermot.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40OK. First History question to you, Neil.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Which of these was famously designed
0:16:42 > 0:16:44by Christopher Wren in the 17th century?
0:16:49 > 0:16:5517th century. I'm going to rule out St Paul's Cathedral.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00And go between Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I think Buckingham Palace is older than that.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I'm going to go down the middle with Tower Bridge.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10OK, down the middle. And down the plughole on this question.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15No, it is St Paul's Cathedral. OK, right.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Well, nothing there for Neil.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Chris, Samuel Pepys started writing his diary
0:17:19 > 0:17:22on 1st January in which year?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28He was secretary of the Navy at the time,
0:17:28 > 0:17:32he started writing his diary on 1.1.1660.
0:17:32 > 0:17:351660, I mean, just pairing up those questions,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38must have been about the time when St Paul's Cathedral was going up.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41No. The old St Paul's didn't come down
0:17:41 > 0:17:44until the Great Fire of London in 1666.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49- Ah.- And Wren built the new St Paul's from about 1680 onwards.- OK.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52And Tower Bridge was opened in 1895, if anyone's interested.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Neil does know all that, he was just bluffing early on.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00OK, it's 1-0 to you, Chris. Neil, second question.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03What was the name of the 13th century Scottish king
0:18:03 > 0:18:07who married Margaret, daughter of Henry III of England?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Right. Again, not one that jumps to mind.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- So, I'll go with Richard III, please. - OK, Richard III of Scotland.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26No, it's not. Chris?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Alexander III.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Alexander III of Scotland, married Margaret,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33daughter of Henry III of England. OK.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Second question, will we get to a third one?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Chris has to get this wrong for that to happen. To go through, Chris.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44The kingdom referred to as Scandinavian York
0:18:44 > 0:18:46was founded in which century?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Ah, yes, now, that was the Vikings.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Their capital, Jorvik, or York as it now is.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Uh... 6th is too early, 12th is too late, so it's the 9th.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05It is the correct answer, Chris. It's over. Sorry about that, Neil.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07You aren't playing in the final round.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Please come back and join your teams.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14It's time for the final round.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19But I'm afraid those of you lost your head-to-heads
0:19:19 > 0:19:21are not allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25So, Neil, Will F and Will H from Age And Beauty,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28and Barry from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio please?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35So, Isaac and Andrew, you're playing to win Age And Beauty £10,000.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Kevin, CJ, Chris and Judith,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39you're playing for something which money can't buy.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41The Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45The questions are all General Knowledge,
0:19:45 > 0:19:49and you are allowed to confer. So Age And Beauty, the question is,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Isaac and Andrew, how do you want to play this round?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Do you want to go first or second? - Like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04It's General Knowledge and the first question to Age And Beauty.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Which type of cycling race
0:20:06 > 0:20:10is described in French as contre-la-montre?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Well, la mont is a mountain. - Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'm thinking King of the Mountains, personally.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Time trial, I've definitely heard of time trial in French
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- and I don't think it's that.- I don't think it is King of the Mountains.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31I think it is...time trial, actually.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Against the...- You reckon?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37It's absolutely fine if you want to go for that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Dermot, we'd like to go for time trial.- Time trial?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Thought for a while there you were going to go with
0:20:43 > 0:20:45mont as in mountains,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48but it is montre, which is a clock.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51So you're right, against the clock, quite literally.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Time trial, it's the right answer, well done.- Good French!
0:20:55 > 0:20:56OK, Eggheads.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Particularly in universities in the United States,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01a sophomore is a student in which year?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Second? Second?- Freshman, sophomore.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Second, it's literally "wise fool",
0:21:08 > 0:21:12in the sense that you're halfway to becoming wise.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I see, that's what sophomore translates as?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19It is second, it's the right answer, Eggheads. Second year.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21OK, good start, there.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Avoided any mess-ups.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Keep that going, Age And Beauty, second question.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32The king of which country announced his abdication in July 2013?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Norway? Scandinavian? - No, I don't think it's Norway.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40No. I think it's...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I thought, Holland came to mind for me.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Yeah, but there isn't a Holland option!- I know.- I think it's Belgium.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48That's why I might be thinking that.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- I don't think it's Luxembourg. - I think it's King of the Belgians.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- King of Belgium.- King of Belgium, it's the right answer. OK.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Second question to the Eggheads.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04The red wine called Brunello di Montalcino
0:22:04 > 0:22:06is made from a strain of which grape?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12It's Italian.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Yeah.- So, Sangiovese. - Remember where it comes from.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20- I've got an idea it's from Tuscany? - Yeah, Montalcino.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Um, Silvaner is more... - Sounds German.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28Yeah, it's used more in Alsace and places like that.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- On balance, it should be Sangiovese. - Well, that's Italian.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- It's a Tuscany area grape. But I don't know for sure.- No, nor do I.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- But I think that's a good bet.- OK?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Not entirely certain on this one but it's an Italian wine and we think
0:22:43 > 0:22:48it probably is made from an Italian grape variety, so Sangiovese.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52OK, for Brunello di Montalcino, it's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Knowing their grape varieties there. OK, third question.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Well, you're going really well here, Age And Beauty.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Will this win you the money?
0:22:59 > 0:23:04The fossilised wood called jet comes from an ancient species
0:23:04 > 0:23:05similar to which modern tree?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Well, weeping willow is quite soft. - That's what I was thinking.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15And oak's going to be hard.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19But the monkey puzzle tree, there are whole forests in Chile
0:23:19 > 0:23:21made up of that and it is a very old tree.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24So therefore you could actually make something fossilised.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26You've got to have a large amount of trees
0:23:26 > 0:23:28to make a large amount of matter.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30So I'd go for the monkey puzzle tree, Dermot.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Monkey puzzle? Crucial question.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37You've got it! Solved that puzzle.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Three out of three. Well, I think...
0:23:39 > 0:23:41the age part of that team
0:23:41 > 0:23:45bringing quite a lot of stability to the ship!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Right, Eggheads, well, you've got to get this.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50The leading businessman Martin Sorrell
0:23:50 > 0:23:52made his name in which industry?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Advertising.- The leading businessman Martin Sorrell
0:23:58 > 0:24:00made his name in which industry?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03A very big name in advertising.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Advertising is correct, Eggheads. It's time for sudden death.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Sudden death, of course, we haven't played it so far,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13we remove the options so, as you know,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I've just got to hear an answer from you.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Can't offer you anything to have a guess at if you need to.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20This is your question.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Which planet is referred to as the Bringer Of Peace
0:24:24 > 0:24:28in Gustav Holst's famous orchestral suite The Planets?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Do you reckon it's a planet that you can see from Earth?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Because I have no idea what that piece is.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35However I think it might be quite old.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38So I'm thinking it might be something that...
0:24:38 > 0:24:41you'd be able to see from Earth. Would that be Venus, Mars, Jupiter?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- I think Mars is war. - I would not recognise it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Venus?- You can see Venus. It's a very bright star.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50So potentially. Or Jupiter?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Jupiter is the mighty hunter, isn't it?
0:24:54 > 0:24:59- Yeah.- Venus is probably what I would... Yeah, I think so.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02If Jupiter is the mighty hunter, you wouldn't suggest it's that.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04So go for it.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Dermot, we'd like to go for Venus.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09The Bringer Of Peace.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It is Venus, it is the right answer.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Well, Eggheads.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Under the cosh a little bit. Need this.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Which Italian city is nicknamed La Rossa for the colour
0:25:21 > 0:25:25of its roofs and for the left-wing tendency of its politics?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- The one...- Go on.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I was going to say, the one that springs to mind for me,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- in both instances, is Bologna. - Is it left-wing?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Yeah, it was traditionally the heartland of the Communist Party.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- Oh, well, that's it.- They actually took power there relatively early on.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Have you been there? - I've been to Bologna, yeah.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Has it got red roofs? - It's pretty red, yeah.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I think, in terms of the way it looks architecturally,
0:25:48 > 0:25:49it would fit, with the roofs,
0:25:49 > 0:25:54but then that's also true of a lot of other Italian cities.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57But one of the real heartlands of the Italian Communist Party
0:25:57 > 0:26:00in politics in the modern era has been Bologna.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04So I think it would probably must be Bologna. Well, I say, "must be."
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Bologna is what we're going for.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09It is the right answer, Bologna is correct.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11So, we play on.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Well!
0:26:13 > 0:26:19- Are you enjoying it, though? Andrew, Isaac?- Yeah.- Yeah. Sort of.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23You'll tell me when it's over. OK, well, listen, concentrate.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25This could be worth £10,000.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29In 2013, which British actress married the keyboard player
0:26:29 > 0:26:32of The Klaxons, James Righton?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- It's one for you. - I've honestly no idea.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39I know that The Klaxons are fairly young. Mid, late 20s, maybe.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Age-wise, the band.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43So I'd go with someone around that age, a British actress.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Yeah.- Which I can't think of anyone, personally.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I'm trying to think of who got married recently.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52For some reason it's only singers that come to mind.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I literally can't think of anyone, can you?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- No, I've got absolutely nothing. - No, I'm sorry, we don't know.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02No British actresses coming to mind? Well, unfortunately, that is a pass.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06The Eggheads will be able to enlighten us?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Keira Knightley.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10From Judith, Keira Knightley, the right answer.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- I had Cameron Diaz in my head! - Keira Knightley.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Cameron Diaz wouldn't have fitted the British part of it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20- That's all I had in my head.- Keira Knightley married James Righton.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Well, it wasn't the Eggheads' question,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25so that answer from Judith doesn't count, just out of interest.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28This is the Eggheads' question. For the match.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31In 2011, which former German international
0:27:31 > 0:27:34became head coach of the USA men's soccer team?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Jurgen Klinsmann went to the States.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- Oh, really? There you go then. - He went to the States.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- We think that's Jurgen Klinsmann. - Jurgen Klinsmann.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46It's the correct answer, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well, bad luck, Age And Beauty.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57It really was nicely balanced in that final round.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59You two were really working well together.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03But just ran into Keira Knightley and James Righton there.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06In spite of Barry's best efforts, the Eggheads have managed to win.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10The Brain of Britain there trying to sabotage the Eggheads!
0:28:10 > 0:28:14It was a great performance in the end from you, Age And Beauty.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Took a while to get going in some of those head-to-heads.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19But it's been a lot of fun having you here.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I would suggest you can continue your quizzing, Andrew,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24if you can stand hanging around with this lot!
0:28:24 > 0:28:26The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:26 > 0:28:28and their winning streak continues.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £10,000.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33That means the money rolls over to our next show and Eggheads,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36congratulations, who will beat you?
