0:00:06 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:29 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads
0:00:35 > 0:00:38and challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:39are A Clearer Head.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Now, this team of friends are all supporters
0:00:41 > 0:00:43of the charity Alopecia UK.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Let's meet them. Hello, I'm Sue.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm an author and an ambassador for Alopecia UK.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Victoria and I'm a director of a PR and marketing agency.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, my name's Marie and I'm an interactive deliverables executive.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Jeanette and I'm a freelance event organiser.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Emma. I'm a PA and community care worker.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Sue, team, welcome. Good to see you. Thank you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And tell us about the charity that's brought you together.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Well, as you can see, we all have alopecia.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19And Alopecia UK supports anyone with hair loss.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23It raises funds and it creates awareness.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24And so, as far as we know,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27this is one of these terrible autoimmune conditions, isn't it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Yes. So it's just the body attacking itself
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and we never really know the reason. No, absolutely.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33And when I lost my hair in 1981,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37they hadn't even concluded then that it was an autoimmune condition.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39So it's a relatively recent thing.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41OK, well, it's great to have you quizzing.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45On a separate matter, are you all quizzers? Do you enjoy quizzing?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Oh, yes, we're going to enjoy this one!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Good, well, I'm really pleased and you're very welcome here
0:01:50 > 0:01:51and you've timed it well.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Every day, there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:54 > 0:01:55for our Challengers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00the prize money rolls over to the next show. You know that!
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Now, A Clearer Head,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04the Eggheads are on this incredible run at the moment.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07They've won the last 28 games. THEY GASP
0:02:07 > 0:02:10That's the first gasp I've had! THEY LAUGH
0:02:10 > 0:02:12That's very good. So there's the pros and cons here.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14The pro is that it means
0:02:14 > 0:02:16?29,000 is on the table. A con is
0:02:16 > 0:02:18that it's hard to beat them at the moment.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21But anyway, many have fallen. Let's see if you can storm through.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film TV.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Who would like this?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31OK! Right, team. What do you think?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Is it you, Emma?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Um, depends whether Food Drink...
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Is there anyone else who would like to do it? It's not my strength.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I can do it but it's just depends if sport comes up.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45You're going to do it, Jeanette? I'll do it. OK, Jeanette.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50OK, Jeanette from A Clearer Head versus who? That's the question.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I will take on Judith, please. OK, the two Js.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57It's Jeanette, our Challenger, and Judith, our Egghead.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59And just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05So, Jeanette. Film TV, here we go.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Would you like to go first or second against our Judith?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15And here is your first question.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18The puppets Zig and Zag appeared regularly on which TV show?
0:03:22 > 0:03:29I've heard of Zig and Zag. I think it was Saturday Superstore.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Let me see, Judith. Do you know this one? Absolutely no idea.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I didn't think it would be your thing but CJ has made a funny noise.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Hang on? I'm afraid it's
0:03:36 > 0:03:37The Big Breakfast.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39It is The Big Breakfast.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Oh! OK, Judith, your question.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Which 1980s film features a group of Florida retirees who become
0:03:45 > 0:03:48mysteriously rejuvenated after swimming in a pool?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Well, I think... I don't think that would probably be Cocoon
0:03:55 > 0:03:57because there's nothing
0:03:57 > 0:03:59about cocoons in that scenario.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So, it could be Splash or it could be The Big Blue.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04But why would it be Big Blue? Because you said it was a pool.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08But I have a sort of feeling that
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Splash was about a mermaid, so...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I don't know what to do. I'm going to say Splash.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Go against the grain! OK. SHE LAUGHS
0:04:18 > 0:04:22No, it's Cocoon. Oh, no! I do know... How can it be Cocoon?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I know it's Cocoon but I don't know why it's Cocoon
0:04:24 > 0:04:26because you're quite right, that they go in a pool.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29But they come out and go into a kind of 'cocoma' or a...?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31A cocoma? They go in a cocoma? A coma cocoon!
0:04:31 > 0:04:35It doesn't even matter, it's Cocoon. This is going well.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Jeannette? The force is with you, I think.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40You're off the hook here.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Who narrated the new version of the animated series Clangers
0:04:45 > 0:04:47when it returned in 2015?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I shall imagine it's something that
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Stephen Fry would...possibly do.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Or Michael Palin, I'm torn between those two.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I think I'll go for Michael Palin.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Excellent, you're right, well done.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Michael Palin.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Judith, Beyond Thunderdome was
0:05:10 > 0:05:12the subtitle of the third entry
0:05:12 > 0:05:13in which film franchise?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Beyond Thunderdome? Beyond Thunderdome.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, perhaps probably not Police Academy.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Um, Thunderdome?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Lethal Weapon. No, it was Mad Max.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31You're having a scorcher today, Judith.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33So, Jeanette, this one and you're in the final.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Which American medical drama series has featured characters
0:05:38 > 0:05:42called Meredith Grey, Derek Shepherd and Cristina Yang?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's not Scrubs. I know that because I did used to watch Scrubs.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52But I never got into Grey's Anatomy
0:05:52 > 0:05:55and I did used to watch some of ER.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I'm going to go for ER.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Now, I... Yes, you're wrong, actually.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I think the Grey is the connection, isn't it? Yes.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Because it's Grey's Anatomy for that reason.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I thought that was too obvious!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Yeah, it's... It's Grey, G-R-E-Y.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11So, Judith. A chance to pull level.
0:06:11 > 0:06:17Who played Grandpa Potts in the 1968 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
0:06:21 > 0:06:25That was Lionel Jeffries. It was indeed Lionel Jeffries.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28So you've got one each after three questions. We go to Sudden Death.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Jeannette, it gets a bit harder now.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31I don't give you alternative answers.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Michael Rodd and Kieran Prendiville were two of the many presenters
0:06:36 > 0:06:38of which BBC technology series?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Tomorrow's World.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Brilliant, Tomorrow's World it is.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43OK, Judith.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Lea Thompson played Lorraine Baines in which film franchise
0:06:47 > 0:06:49of the 1980s and '90s?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Absolutely no idea, absolutely no idea.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I can't even begin.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Pass.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Nothing? Nothing. Not a thing? Not a thing.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Star... Star Wars, I don't know. Star Wars?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04You're actually not far off with that.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Back To The Future. Oh.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08You've been knocked out, Judith. Well done, Jeanette.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11First round to... ALL: Yeah! ..Clearer Heads.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Very clear heads.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So, come back to us and we'll play on.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21So, as it stands, A Clearer Head have won in the first round.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Well done, ladies, and the Eggheads have lost a brain, Judith has gone.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Next subject for you is Politics. Oh! Who would like Politics? No, no.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32This was the one we did not want.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33You said that you... Oh, no.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36You're fine. You're better than you think. You know it.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I knew this would happen and I'll have to do it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41OK, so the team captain.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44The most senior member on politics against who?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Lisa. Very good. We've got a lot in common.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I didn't want it and I knew that would happen as well.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51LAUGHTER
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Sue from A Clearer Head versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56And please go to our Question Room now.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Sue, I know you're a writer. I am. Tell us about your writing.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Well, I've got more than 20 books
0:08:04 > 0:08:06so I like to write across different genres.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Some are for young children, some are for teenagers
0:08:09 > 0:08:11and some are for adults.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Amazing, OK. So, good luck in this round.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Politics is the subject. I know this wasn't your first choice.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18In fact, I was expecting you to go on and answer on some books.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20So, there we go. That was my first choice. Yeah, I know.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22So, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29And your first question is this.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33In 2006, Margaret Beckett became the first woman in the UK
0:08:33 > 0:08:34to hold which cabinet position?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I think it must be Foreign Secretary.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Foreign Secretary is correct.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Well done, Sue. On to you, Lisa.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington
0:08:50 > 0:08:52served as Prime Minister under which of these monarchs?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58SHE CHUCKLES
0:08:58 > 0:09:01He'd have been going some to serve under Henry VIII,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I doubt he was even remotely born.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08And, yeah, Edward VIII would be far too late so it must be George IV.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Yes, George IV is correct,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11well done. Back to you, Sue.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Who did Thomas Jefferson succeed as President of the United States?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22This is where I'm completely in the dark.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26And I don't think I can reason it through.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's going to have to be
0:09:29 > 0:09:32a complete guess. So, um...
0:09:34 > 0:09:35..Theodore Roosevelt.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Sue, it was Washington, Adams, Jefferson.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41So, the answer is John Adams.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43So, Lisa has a chance to go ahead.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48When was last time that a UK general election was held on a Tuesday
0:09:48 > 0:09:50rather than a Thursday, Lisa?
0:09:56 > 0:10:01It's not 1991, I'm fairly sure there wasn't a general election in 1991.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03'31, it was not... It was all
0:10:03 > 0:10:06a bit politically uncertain in '31.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10'61, much more settled.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Um, yeah. It is going to come straight down to a 50-50 yes.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18And I have a slight preference for 1931 so I'll go with that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Yeah, you've done well. 1931 it is.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24So, you need this one, Sue.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Which of these politicians served as British Prime Minister
0:10:27 > 0:10:29twice during the 1920s?
0:10:35 > 0:10:36OK.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42Again, I think I can eliminate one, which is Andrew Bonar Law.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45But was it Lloyd George or Baldwin?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'm going to say Stanley Baldwin.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Stanley Baldwin is the right answer, well done.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53You're still in it, still in it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56But if Lisa gets this right, she will be in the final.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Which former US President's painting of himself in the shower
0:11:00 > 0:11:04appeared on the internet in early 2013?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11If somebody put those three in front of me and said,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14"Which one of those do you think would be the painter
0:11:14 > 0:11:17"and think it was funny to paint himself in the shower?",
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'd probably have said Reagan.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I just don't want it to be
0:11:21 > 0:11:22George W Bush. This is hard.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I'm not going to get anywhere with this, am I? Let's just...
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Right, hold my hands up, I'll go for Ronald Reagan.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30It's funny, I didn't know about this story.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I did have, though, some sort of memory that George W Bush
0:11:33 > 0:11:37had been doing quite amateurish paintings and this was him.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Oh, oh! I'm afraid.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41So, George W Bush is the answer,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43which means we're equal after three
0:11:43 > 0:11:45questions, we go back to you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49And, Sue, Sudden Death now. I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Which famous salon hostess
0:11:52 > 0:11:56and leading Girondin during the French Revolution
0:11:56 > 0:11:58uttered the famous words, "Oh, liberty!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01"What crimes are committed in thy name,"
0:12:01 > 0:12:03just before she was guillotined?
0:12:05 > 0:12:10I don't think I can offer anything apart from Madame.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11OK, no.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Jean-Marie Roland is the answer.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16OK, Lisa,
0:12:16 > 0:12:17your question for the round.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19In British politics,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22to which position was Baroness Hayman
0:12:22 > 0:12:23elected in July 2006?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I was tempted to say Leader of the House of Lords
0:12:27 > 0:12:29but one does not elect the Leader of the House of Lords
0:12:29 > 0:12:30because it's a cabinet position
0:12:30 > 0:12:32and it's at the Prime Minister's discretion.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35So, is it Speaker of the House of Lords?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37That's very well done.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41It is Speaker of the House of Lords, well done. That's excellent play.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43You've taken the round on Sudden Death, Lisa,
0:12:43 > 0:12:44and you are in the final.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Sorry, Sue. You've been knocked out there. Never mind.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50But it's still level pegging between these two teams.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52If you return to us, we will play the next round.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57OK, so the Eggheads have pulled back slightly here.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00A Clearer Head have lost a brain now from the final round.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01The Eggheads have also lost one
0:13:01 > 0:13:04and the next subject for you is Food Drink.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Yay! So this is you, Emma, is it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Emma!
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Emma, who would you like to take on? I think I'll take on Kevin, please.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Why not? You obviously watch the programme.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19So, Emma from A Clearer Head taking on Kevin from the Eggheads
0:13:19 > 0:13:22on Food Drink and please go to our Question Room.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Here we go, Food Drink, Emma.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Here we go, your first question on Food Drink.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38The dish of jellied eels is traditionally associated with
0:13:38 > 0:13:39which area of the UK?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47It's definitely not the Lake District.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Or the Shetland Islands. That would be the East End of London.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53East End of London is quite right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Kevin, the hedgehog is a popular style of preparing which fruit?
0:14:02 > 0:14:03I've not heard of that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05The logic, there is a logical answer there
0:14:05 > 0:14:09in terms of the look of the thing and the...
0:14:09 > 0:14:12The relative roughness of its outer covering.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I can't see why a hedgehog would have anything to do
0:14:16 > 0:14:19with a peach, or indeed a mango, so I'll say kiwi.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Ooh!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Emma, what do you think?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25It's a mango. It is a mango, Kevin! Is it? Oh.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28It's a mango. No, never heard of that at all. OK.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Get the old supermarket delivery
0:14:30 > 0:14:32scheduled in. Huh! Right!
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Emma, which of these is a main ingredient of a creme brulee?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42That is egg yolks.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Do you do a lot of cooking? Yeah.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46My degree's in food marketing. OK.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Egg yolks is right, well done.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51So you're ahead of Kevin.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52You need this, Kevin, to stay in.
0:14:52 > 0:14:58Oud Bruin or Old Brown is a sour ale
0:14:58 > 0:15:00originally brewed in which country?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Well, that's definitely requiring spelling.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10O-U-D, B-R-U-I-N.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12It doesn't sound either really
0:15:12 > 0:15:13very Irish or Czech.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It sounds as though that's probably a Belgian beer.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21There are plenty of them and it is certainly a frequently used word
0:15:21 > 0:15:24in that Belgian brewing area.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25So, yeah, Belgium.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Belgium is right, well done.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29So, Emma, it's in your hands here.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Get this right and you're in the final round
0:15:30 > 0:15:32and you've knocked out Kevin.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34That would be a precious victory, don't let him come back.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Take your time.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38What is mixed with prosecco and vodka
0:15:38 > 0:15:42to make a drink called a Sgroppino?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50And Sgroppino is S-G-R-O-P-P-I-N-O.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Um, well...
0:15:52 > 0:15:56The idea of whipped cream in that or star anise
0:15:56 > 0:16:00doesn't sound too good to me so I'd go for lemon sorbet.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01If you have this right, you're in the final
0:16:01 > 0:16:03and you've knocked out Kevin.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Playing very well, team. You've got it right.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Well done, Emma. ALL: Yay!
0:16:08 > 0:16:12It is lemon sorbet. Sorry, Kevin. You're a goner.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Doesn't happen very often but Food Drink, he is vulnerable on.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Come back to us and we'll see what happens next
0:16:17 > 0:16:19in this very exciting contest.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Right, well, as they say, game on.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26As it stands, A Clearer Head have lost just the one brain.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Eggheads have now lost two, including Kevin.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31And the next subject is Geography. THEY GASP
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Last subject before the final.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Who would like this?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's got to be Victoria or Marie? Want me to do it?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Or do you want to do it? Up to you, it's your call!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41No, you can do it, you can do it. I'll go in the...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Right, it's Marie. OK.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47OK, so Marie against either Pat or CJ.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49CJ.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Apparently! Oh.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Very good, he'll be pleased with that.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Marie from A Clearer Head versus the always clear-headed
0:16:56 > 0:16:57CJ from the Eggheads.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Please go to our Question Room now.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, Marie. Your team caught Kevin on Food Drink
0:17:04 > 0:17:08and CJ will be utterly frank on his blind spots on geography,
0:17:08 > 0:17:09won't you, CJ?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Um, I only have one blindspot, it's called the globe.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So would you like to go first or second, Marie? First, please.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Here we go. Which of these shares a land border with Russia?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I'm pretty sure it's not India.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34As for China and Afghanistan, I don't think it's Afghanistan.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35I'm going to go China.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38China is right, well done. CJ.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Bude is a seaside resort on which English coast?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Don't know.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I don't think it's North Yorkshire.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53That's B-U-D-E, isn't it?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55B-U-D-E, like nude.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Cornwall.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Cornwall is correct but I...
0:18:00 > 0:18:01I could see you struggling there.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03That's a classic...
0:18:03 > 0:18:07The sort of question CJ gets wrong on every other day of the week.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09That's so funny! OK, Marie.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14Benidorm is a holiday destination on which of the Spanish Costas?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Oh, goodness!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I've been there as well! SHE LAUGHS
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I'm trying to remember which one it is.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I'm pretty sure it's not the Costa Brava.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I'm going to go Costa Blanca.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Costa Blanca is quite right.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Well done. ALL GASP
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Gosh! OK, CJ.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40To stay abreast of Marie.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44By road, what is the approximate shortest distance in miles
0:18:44 > 0:18:47between the Canadian cities of Montreal and Ottawa?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Well, it's not 4,120.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Because that would essentially be coast to coast.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03And Montreal... Ottawa is not on the coast and neither is Montreal.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06And 120 is surely too close for those two.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11So, I mean, I don't know this but I think it has to be 620.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13620 is the wrong answer. Oh.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16The answer is 120, so this is now really interesting.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18It's a good moment for your team.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20If you get this right,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22you will have knocked out CJ
0:19:22 > 0:19:25and it'll be 4-2 in the final round.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Get this wrong and you let him back in, Marie. Take your time.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Queen Mary's Gardens, renowned for their spectacular
0:19:31 > 0:19:35rose collection, are a feature of which London park?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I've never heard of Queen Mary's Gardens!
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Um...
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I'm going to have to go with what my team said,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50and this is if you don't know the answer, middle's the diddle
0:19:50 > 0:19:52so I'm going to go Green Park.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Hang on, let's check with your team now. Team?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56No. I think it's Regent's Park.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58It's Regent's Park. Oh.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59It's Regent's Park.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02So you're still ahead, Marie,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04but if CJ gets this right,
0:20:04 > 0:20:05it'll be Sudden Death.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09The Bairro Alto district, which celebrated 500 years
0:20:09 > 0:20:13of existence in 2013, is an area in which European city?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19The Bairro Alto, CJ,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22is spelt B-A-I-R-R-O and then A-L-T-O.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28I mean, Alto, I think can be a few languages.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30But Bairro, to me, sounds more Spanish,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32especially with the double R in it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Could be Portuguese but I'll try Madrid.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Madrid is wrong, CJ. It's Lisbon.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38You've been knocked out. Well done, Marie.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Done really well there.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42CJ getting one out of three,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45they are misfiring, having been on this amazing roll.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48So you've got into a brilliant position for the final.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Come back and we'll play it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Well, the Eggheads have been bashed about here, haven't they?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56This is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59It is time for the final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:02 > 0:21:04won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08So that's Sue from A Clearer Head and also Judith and Kevin
0:21:08 > 0:21:10and CJ from the Eggheads.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Victoria, Marie, Jeanette and Emma,
0:21:16 > 0:21:21you are playing to win A Clearer Head ?29,000.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Eggheads, you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27So, as usual, I will ask each teams three questions in turn.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33You can confer with each other. So, Clearer Head, the question is -
0:21:33 > 0:21:37are your four brains able to defeat the Eggheads' two.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39And it's a great test for Pat and Lisa.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43You've not been the two before, have you? Not together. Don't think so.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Not together. So, Victoria, do you want to go first or second?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I think we'll go... First. We're going to go first, please.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53OK, here is your first question.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58What colour is the head of the eagle known as the bald eagle?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02SHE LAUGHS
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Appropriate question, isn't it?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06It's a very appropriate and you have... White, white.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I think it's white. White, yes.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Er, it's white.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Yeah, the random computer up to its old tricks here.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15THEY LAUGH White is the right answer!
0:22:16 > 0:22:18OK, Eggheads.
0:22:18 > 0:22:24Dreadlock Holiday was a 1978 UK number one single for which group?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I think it's 10cc. 10cc, "I don't like reggae." Yeah?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Is it from Sheet Music.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It's from one of their albums.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35That's 10cc.
0:22:35 > 0:22:3710cc is the correct answer.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, over to you, ladies. Here we go.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Your second question.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Araignee is the French word for which creature?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Let me spell it for you.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53A-R-A-I-G-N-E-E.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Accent on the first E.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56It's like Arachnida, isn't it?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57I've no idea. I think...
0:22:57 > 0:22:59It's a spider.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01The logic makes sense.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03That's the thing? Yeah.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05We're going to go with spider.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Spider is your answer.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Brilliant logic, you're right.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Well done. That's exactly
0:23:09 > 0:23:10how they do it, every day.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12OK, so you got two, they've got one.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16?29,000 we're playing for. Serious moment here.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20The 2006 film A Prairie Home Companion
0:23:20 > 0:23:23is the last film of which film director?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Well, I think Kubrick's last
0:23:29 > 0:23:30film was Eyes Wide Shut. Yes.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Sam Peckinpah is...
0:23:32 > 0:23:33I maybe misjudging him
0:23:33 > 0:23:36but he is generally fairly
0:23:36 > 0:23:38hard-on violent films, isn't he?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Do you think Peckinpah died earlier
0:23:40 > 0:23:42than that? Well, I think he did.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I've never seen him interviewed or anything.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I mean, my slight preference really is for Altman.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I think I have a preference because I think I can remember
0:23:49 > 0:23:51one of his very last
0:23:51 > 0:23:52interviews on television.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Zina Saro-Wiwa interviewed him
0:23:54 > 0:23:56and he was an old man,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58a distinguished director and that...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Was 2000, the date again? 2006.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04That dates it, it could be right.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Want to go with Altman? I'm OK to do that if you are.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09OK, we're unsure here, Jeremy, but
0:24:09 > 0:24:11we're going to go for Robert Altman.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Stanley Kubrick is not the answer,
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Sam Peckinpah is not
0:24:15 > 0:24:17the right answer either.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18You've got it right, Robert Altman,
0:24:18 > 0:24:19so you're two points each.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Oh, it's never easy with this lot!
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Phycology is the scientific study of what?
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Now, phycology is P-H-Y-C-O-L-O-G-Y.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Viruses is virology.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Virology yeah.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Something along those lines. Mushrooms is...
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I would suggest mushrooms is fungology too. Fungus, yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I would say seaweed
0:24:48 > 0:24:50because it's light
0:24:50 > 0:24:52so phyto is like light and stuff.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Ah! What, then?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Perhaps light and dark? Phyto is similar to...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Photosynthesis? Yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Seaweed is, it's got
0:25:01 > 0:25:02that chlorophyll in it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Has it got chlorophyll?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Yes, chlorophyll. It'll be
0:25:05 > 0:25:06chlorophyll to give its colour.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Give it a go. Seaweed?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Yes, seaweed. Are you sure?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Yes. Go for it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13We're going to go with seaweed.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15You're right. THEY GASP
0:25:15 > 0:25:16And that was absolutely
0:25:16 > 0:25:17brilliant quizzing.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I must say, really brilliant.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20So, seaweed is right. Well done.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23You've done the best you can do in these three questions,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25you got them all right and it's often enough.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Let's see if it's enough today.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28If the Eggheads get this wrong,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32you have ?29,000 and I know you're going to give it to your charity.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Eggheads.
0:25:33 > 0:25:39The Celtic God Taranis is often said to be the god of what?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Do you happen to know off the top of your head, Patrick? No, I don't.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Well, I certainly don't. Could you spell Taranis, please, Jeremy?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Yes. T-A-R-A-N-I-S. Taranis.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Can't think of anything that would derive from that.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59An extremely weak
0:25:59 > 0:26:01inclination for fertility,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03simply because fertility gods
0:26:03 > 0:26:05tend to be... Big things.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Yeah, big.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Civilisations invariably have fertility gods
0:26:09 > 0:26:11whereas they might be slightly less
0:26:11 > 0:26:13bothered about rivers and thunder.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15But that's very, very feeble stuff.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'll take your inkling over my
0:26:17 > 0:26:19not a clue and just, you know,
0:26:19 > 0:26:20because it's something to go on.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Just on the principle that
0:26:22 > 0:26:23fertility gods tend to be...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25There are very few races
0:26:25 > 0:26:27that aren't very concerned with
0:26:27 > 0:26:28fertility for crops, for people.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Yeah. Um, oh.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32I mean, I don't think I've got
0:26:32 > 0:26:34a reason to deny you on this
0:26:34 > 0:26:35so I'm prepared to go with that
0:26:35 > 0:26:37if you're prepared to go with that
0:26:37 > 0:26:39and we will take the consequences
0:26:39 > 0:26:40as they come.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41We're in trouble here, Jeremy.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43And we're reduced to an
0:26:43 > 0:26:45extremely feeble guess. Uh...
0:26:46 > 0:26:47So I think we're going
0:26:47 > 0:26:49to guess fertility.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50And that's all it is.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52If you have got this wrong,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54then our brilliant Challengers
0:26:54 > 0:26:56have ?29,000.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00If you've got it right, it's three each and we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03And I thought, as soon as I saw Celtic God, I thought,
0:27:03 > 0:27:04"Well, Pat knows all
0:27:04 > 0:27:05"his Celtic gods."
0:27:06 > 0:27:08He prays to them all the time.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09You had a good rummage around there
0:27:09 > 0:27:11but it wasn't good enough.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12The answer is thunder.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14We say congratulations, Challengers. THEY YELP
0:27:14 > 0:27:16You have won!
0:27:19 > 0:27:20HE LAUGHS
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Ah, brilliant. That is so good. Let's say well done, Sue.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Well done, skipper. That's fantastic.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30We've had such a long run and Clearer Head,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32you took them apart bit by bit there.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Really, really patient play. So, fantastic.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Tell us, Victoria, what are you going to spend the money on?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Um, we're actually not going to spend the money at all.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44It's going to go to Alopecia UK to fund research,
0:27:44 > 0:27:49their support, their...things like their network
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and things where you can go along and meet other people with alopecia
0:27:52 > 0:27:54and try to just make some people's lives a bit easier.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Cos it's quite a tough thing to go through, I guess.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Well, we are glad that we are a part of that. Absolutely.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03But that's an absolutely decisive victory, well done.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06And a famous one too after all this time they've been sitting there
0:28:06 > 0:28:07pretty without being troubled.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Well done, you've won ?29,000.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Thank you!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13The charity gets the money and we are delighted by that.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17THEY LAUGH
0:28:17 > 0:28:20You've proved that they can be beaten. Do join us next time.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I can't promise a game as good as this one, this was amazing,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25but join us on Eggheads next time to see
0:28:25 > 0:28:28if a new team of Challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Till then, goodbye.
