0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:17arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:29their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads, and you're looking focused.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- Yes, we are.- Especially Judith! - Yes, absolutely.- Yeah.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- Gimlet-eyed.- Gimlet-eyed! Very good.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today are
0:00:41 > 0:00:43To The Manor Born. This team from Dorset are
0:00:43 > 0:00:46all members of the Wimborne branch
0:00:46 > 0:00:49of the University of the Third Age and each year,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53go on a spring break together to the Manor House Activity Centre.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Paul, I'm a retired civil servant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, my name is Mary and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Ashley and I'm a retired company director.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Maggie and I'm a retired nurse.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Kate and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- So, welcome, Paul and team, good to see you.- Hi.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12- ALL:- Hello.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Tell us about the University of the Third Age.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Well, the University of the Third Age is an organisation that is national
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and the Wimborne branch, we decided some time ago to play
0:01:21 > 0:01:26badminton under the banner of the U3A, so some of us play
0:01:26 > 0:01:30badminton and others are partners to those who play badminton.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34OK, and the University of the Third Age is like the Open University, or what?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38It's designed for over 55s, either people who are retired or semi-retired.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44And it's very much self-help groups and they engage in all sorts of
0:01:44 > 0:01:47activities, sporting, crafts, and volunteers come
0:01:47 > 0:01:52and teach members of the different groups.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Right, brilliant. And you quiz a bit?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56We quiz a little bit, not together so much,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00but we've all quizzed at different times and in different locations.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Well, good luck, I wish you well in your quest to take the jackpot.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So, To The Manor Born, the Eggheads have won the last 11 games-
0:02:15 > 0:02:17they're doing really well.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Ups and downs there - the up is that £12,000 says you can't beat them,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23the down is obviously that they are on good form.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Would you like to start?- We would.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Brilliant. I think you're going to be a good quizzing team.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Who would like this? - Who would like to take Politics?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Shall we do Ashley?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I don't know.- Or Mary?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Would you like to have a go?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- If you want me to.- Yes!
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- OK.- Ashley.- Ashley. OK. And which Egghead would you like?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Any one of the five. - Lisa?- Possibly, yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I mean, I'll take your advice on that.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Yes? I think we'll try Lisa.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59OK. Ashley, from To The Manor Born versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And just to make sure there's no conferring,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04please go to our famous question room.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07OK. Politics, Ashley, your choice.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16And good luck here, Ashley.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20See if you can just get the edge in the early part of the contest.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23In which year was Vladimir Putin born?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30OK. Um...
0:03:32 > 0:03:37He's probably late 50s now.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Um... I'll say
0:03:41 > 0:03:43it's 1962.
0:03:43 > 0:03:451952 is the answer.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47So he's in his...
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Well into his 60s.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52OK. Lisa.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Your question. The former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was a member of
0:03:55 > 0:03:59which political party during his term of office?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03He was a Conservative.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05He was indeed. Supermac.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10OK, Ashley, despite there being 650 MPs,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14there is only seating room for how many in the House of Commons?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I've certainly visited
0:04:21 > 0:04:25a couple of times, but I haven't done a head count.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I would say
0:04:29 > 0:04:31it's got to be 427.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Yes, absolutely right, it is.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36OK, Lisa.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has admitted that he has an interest in,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45and regularly photographs, which of these things?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52That would make the most fantastic programme -
0:04:52 > 0:04:56a sort of dull men thing where men who are generally interesting talk
0:04:56 > 0:04:57about their dull habits.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Your first guest should actually be Corbyn...talking about -
0:05:01 > 0:05:05sorry, I'll get to the point - his love of drain covers.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Yes, well done, drain covers is right. Pretty un-guessable this,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11actually. OK, Ashley, we're back with you.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15And you need to get this right. Between 2001 and 2004,
0:05:15 > 0:05:21David Cameron wrote a blog for the website of which newspaper?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm going to go for The Sun.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Yeah, I see why you've done that, because it's on the right.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33He's a bit more complicated than that, I think,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- and he wrote for the Guardian. - Oh, right.- So I'm sorry.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39No way back for you, Lisa has taken the round. Lisa, you'll be in
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- the final.- Wow.- And Ashley, you won't, but don't worry. It's very, very early.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49OK, so The Manor Born have lost a brain.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Our second round is Film & TV.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Who would like this?- Who would like that?- I'm happy to have a go.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Have a go at Kate, yeah?- Yeah.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Kate?- Kate, yeah.- OK, retired teacher against which Egghead?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Judith, Dave?
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- I would have thought possibly Dave, yes.- Dave? Dave.- Good stuff.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10OK, Kate from To The Manor Born, Dave from the Eggheads,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12will go to the question room now.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15So, you used to teach, Kate?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- I did, yes.- For a long time?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Quite a long time, yes - over 30 years.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- And what was your subject? - Mainly English and textiles.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Great stuff. Well, good luck, Kate.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28And Film and TV is the subject against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Here is your first question.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39The actor Steve McFadden is famous for playing which character
0:06:39 > 0:06:41in EastEnders?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I don't think it's Ian Beale.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I'm not a soap watcher, so I'm not absolutely sure on this one.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Erm... I think I will probably go for Phil Mitchell.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Dave, what do you think? - Yes, absolutely right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Absolutely right, well done. OK, Dave.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Who wrote the 1984 British film Four Weddings And A Funeral?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16I believe it was Richard Curtis.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Richard Curtis is correct, well done.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Brilliant writer. One each. Kate, back to you.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24The 2015 film Creed features characters
0:07:24 > 0:07:28first seen in which film franchise?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I'm not sure about this one, it's not one I've seen.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I don't think it's Jaws. I'll go for...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Rocky.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I'm glad you did, you're right. Very good.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Dave, what is the first name of the character played by Aidan Turner
0:07:47 > 0:07:50in the TV series Poldark?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Erm...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I don't think it's Ray, don't think it's Richard.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I'll get Lisa excited by saying Ross.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05It is Ross.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Well done. OK, it's going well.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Two each, get this one right, Kate, put a bit of pressure on Dave.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Which of these writing partnerships are best known for co-creating and
0:08:16 > 0:08:19writing the TV sitcom Peep Show?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29There's only one pair I've heard of there.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Is it best to go with the one you've heard of?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I'm going to go for the one I know, Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Graham will be excited by that. I think he watches the programme.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- He's the not the right answer, though.- Right.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, Kate.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50OK. So a chance for Dave to take the round.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Which Oscar-winning actor played the role of Dr Hank Pym
0:08:55 > 0:08:58in the 2015 film Ant-Man?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Gene Hackman, Robert Duval, Michael Douglas, they've won Oscars,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08and I don't know the film.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Right, I'm going for Michael Douglas.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yeah, you've got it right, Dave.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Good quizzing, well done, with not much to go on.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Maybe nothing to go on?- I just thought he's younger, so...
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- in that particular genre, it would be him.- It's 3-2, so Kate,
0:09:24 > 0:09:29I'm sorry, you've also been knocked out.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32But don't worry, plenty of time - well, some time.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Come back, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40So, as it stands, To The Manor Born have lost a couple of brains now from
0:09:40 > 0:09:44the final round. Eggheads are still sitting rather happily in their manor.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47So see if you can take one of them out now.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49The next subject is Food & Drink. Who wants this?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- I think that's Maggie.- Maggie. - Yes. Maggie against?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Kevin is the infamous one. - I think I shall go for Kevin.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- All right.- Why not? - I wasn't predicting that.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02They obviously don't watch the show, do they?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05So, Maggie from To The Manor Are Born versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Let's see if she can knock out the Grand Master.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Now, Maggie, you were one of the first qualified nurse practitioners.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17I was, yes.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20And that's different from just being a nurse, right?
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Well, it's another set of skills. Diagnosing illness.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30And then after that I did a prescribing course so I could prescribe medication.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32So, very useful.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Oh, I see. So, they added a band above regular nurse, did they?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Yes. To take some of the load off doctors.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39- Yes.- And did you enjoy that?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Yes, I did. I did that for a number of years until I retired
0:10:43 > 0:10:48- coming up for five years ago.- And I know you've won £80 in a quiz.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Tell me, was that Millionaire? Which one was that?- No!
0:10:51 > 0:10:55I've done a few local pub quizzes in places where I've lived
0:10:55 > 0:11:02and the place I lived before where I am now, there was a resident team that always won.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07We thought we'd go and challenge them and the prize was £80,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09which we won. So, yeah. They weren't happy.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14There were lots of them and only four of us. So, I think we did well.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17That sounds like a very good omen for today.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21So, here's the resident team. You're taking them on. They're used to winning, they've got that swagger,
0:11:21 > 0:11:25and you're going to take them down. So, Food & Drink, Maggie. Do you want to go first or second?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Oh, I'll go first.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Here we go. Good luck.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35What type of food are Indian chapatis?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42OK, well, I'm sure we've all had these.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Erm... They're not chicken balls or kebabs.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47They are bread.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Bread is correct.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Kevin, which of these is a traditional
0:11:52 > 0:11:55British desert made with apples?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Eton mess tends to involve things like meringue and strawberries
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and that sort of thing. It's not spotted dick, either.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08But Eve's pudding, being a reference to Eve and the Apple.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Eve's pudding. - Yeah, I didn't know this.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Eve's pudding is the right answer, Kevin. Well done.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15OK, Maggie. Your question.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Which of these Greek dishes is typically made with lamb,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21bechamel sauce and aubergines?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28OK. Erm... Well, kofta is like
0:12:28 > 0:12:32a pressed meat in a sausage shape, I think.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Stifado, I can't remember what that is.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39But it sounds like moussaka to me.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Sounds like moussaka to me, as well.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Well done. Moussaka is right, well done.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Kevin, which of these is
0:12:45 > 0:12:49traditionally a gin-based cocktail?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57OK, I'm not a cocktail person at all.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00But I don't believe it's a Rusty Nail.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03My initial thought, well, my more or less instant thought,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06was Singapore sling. But I'm just having a...
0:13:06 > 0:13:10I can't remember. I think maybe a Sea Breeze involves rum.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13So, anyway, I shall say Singapore Sling.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Anyone know here? Yes, he's right. Yep, they say you're right, Kevin.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Singapore sling. It's 2-2.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20And, Maggie, we go back to you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Now, if you get this right, this is where you've all come unstuck so far.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Get the third question right so you've got a chance here, Maggie.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29The fermented vegetable dish of kimchee
0:13:29 > 0:13:32originated in which part of the world?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Hmm. I have heard of this.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41It doesn't sound Scandinavian.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46It doesn't really sound like a Thai word.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49So, I think I'm going to go for Korea.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Korea is correct.- Oh! Wow.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Well done. Three out of three.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58OK, now, some pressure on the Grand Master.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Let's see. The Italian dish of bollito misto
0:14:02 > 0:14:06consists of what, Kevin?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Ah.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14You've caught me out there, because that's not what
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I was expecting to see.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18B-O-L-L-I-TO?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Yeah. Bollito misto.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Obviously, eggs is one thing. So, I'll rule them out.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I suppose it could be a mixture of shellfish,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30different types of shellfish, hence it could be mixed.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34But it sounds, because boiled meats is nicely vague,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37since it's a mixed dish...
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I think I'll go for boiled meats.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Yeah, I was thinking it's sort of almost too obviously boiled meats
0:14:45 > 0:14:48because bollito misto sounds like boiled meats.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Boiled meats is correct. You're still in it, Kevin.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53So, three out of three for you both.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Tight round. Is this the moment the tide turns for To The Manor Born?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59We go to sudden death, it gets a bit harder -
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I don't give you alternatives. Maggie, here's your question.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07The Swiss doctor Bircher-Benner was a pioneer of what type of food
0:15:07 > 0:15:09typically eaten at breakfast?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13I believe that was muesli.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Muesli is correct, well done.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18OK, Kevin.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23Manchego cheese is traditionally made from the milk of which animal?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26OK, comes from an...
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Comes from Spain, I believe.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30It's going to be either cow or sheep.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'm thinking, I may be wrong here,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35but I'm thinking Manchego is a sheep's cheese.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- So, I'll say sheep. - Sheep is correct.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Oh, so close, Maggie.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43So close to that final round. Come on, keep going here.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Pesto is said to have been invented in which Italian city,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50the capital of Liguria?
0:15:50 > 0:15:55I can't, er... I can't think of what that is.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Liguria...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I'm struggling with that!
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Erm...
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Naples?- Liguria - where is Liguria, first of all?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Kevin, do you know?- Well, it's the north-western coastal bit of Italy.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13It's Genoa.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- The other side of Italy from Naples. - That's what I thought, yes.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- After I'd said it!- Don't worry.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22But it gives Kevin a chance.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Kevin, what is the name of the powder typically used in Asian cuisine that
0:16:27 > 0:16:33is made from cinnamon, star anise and various other spices such as fennel,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35cloves and Szechuan pepper?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Well, the thing that... Hmm.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40There's one thing that springs to mind,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44and I think it's not necessarily an entirely accurately named thing
0:16:44 > 0:16:47because I think the number of ingredients can vary.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50But there is a thing called five spice powder,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52which does include those ingredients.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56It's not the only one. Five spice powder is not the only one
0:16:56 > 0:16:59to include ingredients like that.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03But, at the moment, I'm afraid it's the only thing I can think of.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05So, I shall say five spice powder.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Yes, you're bang on and your explanation is quite right because it can have more or less
0:17:09 > 0:17:12than five spices. But, absolutely, five spice powder.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16You're in the final round. Maggie, sorry, he's a very good player,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- isn't he?- I knew that answer. - I'm sure you did. Please come back and join your teams,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22and we will see if the challengers can rescue it.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27So, To The Manor Born have now lost three brains.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Paul, any change of game plan?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- No, I think we'll stick to our original strategy. - And what was that?
0:17:32 > 0:17:37Well, we have certain subjects and we're rather hoping a certain subject
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- might come up next. OK. Do you want to tell me which one?- No!
0:17:41 > 0:17:45So, the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far and they're also on this run.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48So, you can just see the confidence.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51There's still time to stop it. The next subject is Sport.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Is that the one or not? - No, no.- What did you want?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Any other.- Oh, OK.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01So, Sport. With Paul or Mary.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- It's going to have to be me, isn't it?- Yeah.- Shall I take it?
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Yeah. Yes, it'll be myself.- OK. Paul against either Judith or Pat.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I think we'll go Judith?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Haven't done sport for a while!
0:18:14 > 0:18:18She loves sport. She's been doing a lot of reading back pages,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20supports a football team. All kinds of things. So,
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Paul from To The Manor Born versus our own Judith from the Eggheads.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Please go to the question room.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Paul, when you're not with University of the Third Age,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I gather you sing in a barbershop choir?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- I do, indeed.- And I love barbershop, so tell us about the origins of that.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43It, I think, came from America back in the early part of the 20th century
0:18:43 > 0:18:48and seemed to spread over here around the 1970s.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Most of the singing over here is in choruses, as opposed to quartets.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Which I think is the traditional way they sang it.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- And do you do a quarter or a chorus? - No, we do a chorus. And I sing bass.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03So, anything I sang, you wouldn't recognise.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06So, Paul, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I'd like to go first, please.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13And here we go, Paul, with your first question.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Didier Drogba played international football for which team?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's certainly not Mexico.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I'm pretty confident it's the Ivory Coast, Cote d'Ivoire.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Absolutely right, well done. Cote d'Ivoire. Judith.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Joe Bugner was a leading name in which sport in the 1970s?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40He was a boxer.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42He was indeed a boxer.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44OK, Paul. Your question.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48A match in which of these sports typically ends with the sounding of
0:19:48 > 0:19:50a hooter?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Not tennis. I can't imagine it is rugby league.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So, I don't know,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03but I think by process of elimination it must be baseball.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Eggheads?- Rugby league!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- It's a rugby league, Paul. - Oh!- Yeah!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11OK, Judith. Your chance to take the lead on sport.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Let's treasure this moment.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16What was the nickname of the snooker player Ray Reardon,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20a six-time world champion in the 1970s?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I did once learn
0:20:28 > 0:20:31snooker players' nicknames.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34But it was rather a long time ago.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I have a feeling he was called Dracula, actually.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39He had that sort of Dracula hairstyle.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Yeah, he was very dark, all black. - Black head, sweptback, yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- And he wore black. - Dracula is correct.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Two out of two, Judith.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51OK, Paul. This is to stay in.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57Who was the captain of the England cricket team from 1999 to 2003?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Cricket is not my strongest subject, I'm afraid.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I have to think about this.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I think they've all been England captains.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I think I will have two go down the middle with Alec Stewart.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18OK. If you've got this wrong, you're out. I wonder if you know,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Judith, is he right? - I think it's Nasser Hussain.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23It is Nasser Hussain, Paul.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Ah, yes.- You've been knocked out by Judith, and Judith,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28you've won a sport round. Nothing to fear, you see.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Made my day.- Well done.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So, four of you have been knocked out, challengers.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Come back to us and we will play the final round.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44It is time for our final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads are not allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53So, all from this side I'm afraid. Paul, Ashley, Maggie and Kate from To The Manor Born,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:56 > 0:21:57OK, Mary, good luck.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- How are you feeling?- Bit nervous.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01OK, well, don't worry.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04You're playing to win To The Manor Born £12,000.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Judith, Kevin, Dave, Lisa and Pat,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:22:09 > 0:22:13the Eggheads' reputation. You haven't got a question wrong so far today.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I think you might do now.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22They're all general knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Sorry, that doesn't help you. So, Mary, the question is, is your one brain able to defeat these five?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- Don't answer that.- I know!- Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Yes, please, first.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36OK, the routine for you, Mary.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Which of these is a cunning trickster from Norse mythology who has the
0:22:40 > 0:22:43ability to change his shape and sex?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I think it's Loki because Thor is the god of war
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and he's symbolised by a hammer.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55And Odin, I think also is a warlike god. He's certainly an important
0:22:55 > 0:22:58God - he wouldn't be up to anything frivolous like playing tricks.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Loki is right. Oh, you're a quizzer, I can tell.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05If you know mythology, you're a quizzer.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08So, Eggheads, what is the capital of Pakistan?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Islamabad?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Purpose-built.- Was it?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18It was Karachi once upon a time.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Yes, it was.- It used to be Karachi. - Rawalpindi once...
0:23:21 > 0:23:22It's Islamabad now.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26It was purpose-built, and it's Islamabad.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Islamabad is correct.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I thought you might go wrong there.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35Mary, the large lizard known as the Komodo dragon
0:23:35 > 0:23:37is native to which country?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Komodo dragon, it sounds...
0:23:46 > 0:23:49very oriental, and those are all very oriental places.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53I'm not absolutely sure which one it is. I can picture it in my mind.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57So, I'll pick Japan.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Eggheads, is that right? - No, Indonesia.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Indonesia is the correct answer.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05It gives them possibly the advantage, but let's see.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Which of these board games was invented first?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Monopoly was the '30s. - Monopoly was the 1930s.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Yeah, Depression. - Scrabble, Alfred Butts.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18- Yeah.- Cluedo...- Um...
0:24:18 > 0:24:19I'd say Cluedo was later.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I mean, in one or two cases they took a long time to get
0:24:24 > 0:24:27to the development stage, didn't they?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Become actually invented.- Yeah.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Yeah, invented, because Monopoly's the '30s with Darrow, isn't it?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Monopoly's a Depression game.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I think Scrabble might be the '20s.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Do you?- Really? OK.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I thought that was the '50s.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Well, it's Butts, isn't it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- It's Alfred Butts.- Hmm.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- But...- I think Cluedo is later.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I think that probably dates to the late '40s, something like that.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I'm a bit... Hm.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56I have no idea on this. Pat?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Any thoughts? - What do you think, Pat?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I should know, but...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Well, of the two...
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Which?- ..I think I would favour Monopoly.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07DAVE LAUGHS
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Here we go.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14I haven't got enough to be able to go, "Right, Scrabble.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16"That's Scrabble." I haven't got enough, you know, to...
0:25:16 > 0:25:18But you know who invented it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I know who invented it, but I haven't got a time.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I've got the '20s in my head, but...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25It's quite a strong inkling, isn't it?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28But I haven't got the conviction - I'll be honest with you.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32I haven't got the conviction to say, right, you know...
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Scrabble, I really...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37That's where I'm at.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40So we've got an inkling and no evidence.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43And then not really any ideas.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Well, I think,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48on the basis that Dave's got the inkling, so...
0:25:48 > 0:25:50It's all your fault, Dave.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52If I'm on my own, I'd say Scrabble,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- so I'll back you.- Fair enough.- OK.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Well, it's on my head, be it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58That's where we're going? OK.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01After a troubled discussion, we're going to go for Scrabble.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04OK, Scrabble, you say.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Well, Cluedo was later, so you're right to stick on those two.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Do you do the answer? - I would have said Monopoly,
0:26:10 > 0:26:13but I'm not absolutely sure about it.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18Actually, Scrabble was 1938 and Monopoly was 1935.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21So you're wrong. You are wrong.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It was Monopoly.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25So your Japan answer is forgiven.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- Good.- Because they've got one wrong.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30But you really need to get this right to keep them pressured, OK?
0:26:30 > 0:26:36Don Van Vliet was the real name of which avant-garde musician
0:26:36 > 0:26:37and recording artist?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Well, I've heard of some of these,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46but I don't know the answer straight off.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Captain sounds like a good one.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I'm not sure, but...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I think I'll go for Iggy Pop because I like the sound of it
0:26:55 > 0:26:57and also because if you've got one name that is difficult,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00you might as well get another name that's completely different.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02So on that reasoning, I would say Iggy Pop.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03All right. It's difficult.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07I know these three and I wasn't sure myself.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08It's the kind of thing you guys love.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Who is it?- Captain Beefheart.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Captain Beefheart is the answer. - Right.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15So, Eggheads, this for the round and the contest.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Christopher Kane and Luella Bartley are famous names in which field?
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Fashion designers.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Christopher Kane's clothes and Luella Bartley's mainly accessories.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29- Burberry, isn't he?- He was Burberry,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32he's branched out into his own local stuff.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34But, yes, fashion.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36We're going for fashion, Jeremy.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40The correct answer is fashion.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Bad luck, Mary. I could hear you just tangling
0:27:50 > 0:27:53with Captain Beefheart there for a second.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Yeah, I did think of that as a possibility.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Very hard to do it on no information.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00I was trying to reason it out, but there weren't any clues, really.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03No, there aren't clues there. But thank you for playing.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04It's been fun to meet you all.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Commiserations to To The Manor Born.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09The Eggheads have done what comes increasingly naturally to them,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12and this roll continues.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £12,000,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Eggheads, congratulations - unbeatable.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Never going to happen. Can't foresee it.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Maybe it'll happen next time.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Do join us to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:27 > 0:28:29to finally defeat this lot.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31£13,000 will be on the table.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Till then, goodbye.
