0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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?
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:25 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are...
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, most of this team grew up together in Zimbabwe
0:00:38 > 0:00:41and since moving to the UK have formed a social club
0:00:41 > 0:00:44to support and empower one another.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Collette, and I'm a registered nurse.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Emily, and I'm a marketing student.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Margaret, and I'm a care manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Petronella, I'm a social worker.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Tandi, and I'm a restaurateur.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So, Collette and team, welcome.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05ALL: Hi, Jeremy!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So, tell me about United Women first of all.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Well, United Women is a support group that we formed,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14myself and Margaret, back in 2011.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17It really encompasses bringing together women that have
0:01:17 > 0:01:20grown up in Zimbabwe, and we just support,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22empower each other, we socialise,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- we're there for each other, basically.- Great.- Yes.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26And somewhere in the middle of all that,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28you find time to watch Eggheads, do you?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, we do, we do and we love it.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31THEY LAUGH
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Well, I know Emily is you daughter.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Emily's my daughter, that's right.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37OK. Wishing you all the best, United Women. Good luck.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Thank you!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Now, United Women, the Eggheads have been doing rather well.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54So well that that Pat has been doing the new trademark shoulder roll.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Watch this.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- You've built it up too much! - Come on.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Ooh!- Yeah!- Ooh!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03JEREMY LAUGHS They've won the last eight games.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Oh, wow!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- That means £9,000 is on the table to win.- Oh, wow.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Shall we have a go?- Yes!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12OK, the first head-to-head battle
0:02:12 > 0:02:14is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Now, which of our United Women
0:02:15 > 0:02:17would like this?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- I think I'll go for it.- Emily.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20- Emily?- Emily.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- You're quite good with film and TV, aren't you?- I'll go for it.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24All right, our marketing student.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Which Egghead would you like to take on, Emily?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28You can have any of them there.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Do you want to go for Lisa? What did you think?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I think Lisa.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- I'll go for Lisa.- Brilliant.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36OK, Emily from United Women, on Film & TV,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38against Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:02:41 > 0:02:43in the Question Room.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45So, Emily, you're about to do a degree in marketing.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Yes, I'm really looking forward to it.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Brilliant. And I know you are an adrenaline junkie.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I am, yeah. I love going to theme parks and rollercoasters. Yeah.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59OK, well, I hope this isn't too much of a rollercoaster right now.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01The Film & TV round, and you can choose, Emily,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03whether you go first or second.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I would like to go first, please.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Here we go. Good luck, team.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Emily, in which year was the actress Keira Knightley born?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Erm...
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'm not too certain.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29I'm sure it's not 1995.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30I might just have to just have a guess
0:03:30 > 0:03:34and go straight down the middle and go for 1985.
0:03:34 > 0:03:361985.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37What do you think, Lisa?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Well, apart from being more beautiful, richer
0:03:39 > 0:03:41and more talented than me, she's also younger.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- So, yes, it's '85.- '85 is right.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well done. A point to you, Emily.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Lisa, your first question.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51With which genre of film is the writer and director
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Richard Curtis most associated?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Let's see...
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Four Weddings And A Funeral, Love Actually, Bridget Jones,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05some of the greatest horror films of our times... I kid.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06It's romantic comedy.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Romantic comedy is right.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Back to you, Emily.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Which superhero was played by Chadwick Boseman
0:04:13 > 0:04:17in the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Erm...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I'm not too sure, because I haven't seen this movie.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31So I'm thinking either Black Panther or The Falcon.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I think I'll go for...
0:04:33 > 0:04:34The Falcon.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38OK. Looking for a superhero here.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I wonder if your team-mates know. Is it The Falcon?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Black Panther, isn't it?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Mm, it is, yeah. Your mum has got it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46- It is Black Panther.- OK.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Black Panther is the right answer.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50OK, Lisa, your question, to take the lead.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Shaun Evans has played which detective on TV since 2012?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Right, erm...
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Ooh!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It's definitely not George Gently.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I was all set to go for Barnaby and just rule out Morse completely
0:05:10 > 0:05:14and I suddenly thought, "Hang on, hang on, is Shaun Evans Endeavour?"
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm not a Midsomer Murders person,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20and there's been a lot of changes of personnel.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I think I'll go for Endeavour Morse.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26You veered left and right there.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32Endeavour Morse is the right answer, Lisa. Squeaked it.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34So, Emily, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Here's your question.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41In 2016, the daughter of which film-maker published an open letter
0:05:41 > 0:05:46debunking the theory that her father was responsible for filming
0:05:46 > 0:05:50a fake moon landing in 1969?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Is it...
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Oh, I'm not too sure about this. Erm...
0:06:00 > 0:06:06Something's making me think Sam Peckinpah, so I'll go for that.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Let's see if the Eggheads know this one. Eggs?
0:06:08 > 0:06:09I thought Kubrick.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Dave says Kubrick.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Lisa, what do you say?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I actually thought it was Kubrick that was most associated
0:06:14 > 0:06:16with doing it, as a thing.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19The answer is Stanley Kubrick, Emily. So, sorry.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Lisa, you are in the final. Emily, sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Please come back to us and we'll see what happens.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29OK, United Women have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31The Eggheads are still sitting there.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33We need to somehow dislodge them.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34The next subject is Music.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Who would like Music?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Erm... Music?- Pettie.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I'm not really good at music.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Tandi?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Yeah, I'll take it.- Good, all right.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Tandi's up for it. Tandi, who will you take on? Can't be Lisa.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Dave, I think Dave, because he's more into sports.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52All right. I'll take on Dave.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57So it is Tandi from United Women versus Dave from the Eggheads,
0:06:57 > 0:06:58and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:58 > 0:07:02would you please go to the Question Room for your Music questions?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04So, Tandi, you run a restaurant?
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Yes, I do. We do, with my business partner in Herefordshire.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12So... But that's hard work. We all know that a restaurant,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14you're only as good as your last meal, aren't you?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Oh, extremely. It's extremely hard work.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20But it's worth it, cos if people are happy with the food,
0:07:20 > 0:07:24they compliment you and you know you're doing a good job.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28And it's so fascinating that you and two of your friends here grew up in Zimbabwe.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32We grew up in Zimbabwe and moved to the UK 12 years ago.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36And do you look at what's going on over there and feel a bit sad?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Oh, it's so sad. I do follow it, cos my family are still there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42But fingers crossed things get better soon.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45OK, well, fingers crossed in this round as well. Music, Tandi.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Would you like to go first or second against Tremendous Knowledge Dave?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I think I'm better off going first.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58OK, good luck to you on Music. Here we go.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Who found fame as the lead singer of the band REM?
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Well...
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I'm trying to think REM, and...
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I think it's between Michael Stipe and Robert Smith.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I think I'll go for Robert Smith.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I might be wrong, but I'll go with Robert Smith.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29OK, OK. Well, he's definitely a lead singer, but, Dave,
0:08:29 > 0:08:30which band is Robert Smith in?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31The Cure.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So Robert Smith is The Cure. Bruce Dickinson is Iron Maiden, is he?
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Yes, he is, yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37And Michael Stipe is REM.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Bad luck, Tandi.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Dave, over to you.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Which Frankie Goes To Hollywood song contains these lines?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46"I'll protect you from the hooded claw
0:08:46 > 0:08:49"Keep the vampires from your door."
0:08:52 > 0:08:55"I'll protect you from the hooded claw, the vampires from your door.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57"Death-defying love for you..."
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Power Of Love.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Yeah, cos Relax was the first one, Two Tribes the second.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Three successive number ones, three debut singles,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06but The Power Of Love...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- The Power Of Love is quite right. - Yeah.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- OK, Tandi...- Yes.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Which composer's works are catalogued by Kochel numbers,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16or K numbers?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I'm thinking...
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I actually don't know the answer to this, but I'll sort of have a guess.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Mozart, probably.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Just go straight in the middle.- OK.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Oh, Tandi...
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- You're totally right!- Ohh!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36THEY CHEER
0:09:37 > 0:09:40OK, you're level.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Let's see if Dave takes the lead here.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47In a 2016 list of the 60 bestselling albums of all time in the UK,
0:09:47 > 0:09:52which band had two greatest hits albums in the top ten?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Two greatest hits albums?- Yeah.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Now, The Beatles, the one greatest hits album I can remember was
0:10:03 > 0:10:06the one with all the number ones, which was called 1.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Pink Floyd have obviously had greatest hits,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11but the one band that I would have thought would've had
0:10:11 > 0:10:17very big sellers in the '70s and '80s, and '90s, was Queen.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- So that's my answer, Queen.- OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Queen is right.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24We need him to make a mistake, Tandi, don't we?
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Absolutely, yeah.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Which of these songs was written by Cole Porter? Tandi, was it...
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Cole Porter... I should know this, actually.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39I'll try...
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I've Got You Under My Skin.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44So, I've Got You Under My Skin. Let me check with Lisa. She will know.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45I think it's right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Can you sing it?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I was going to get Chris to do it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Go on, Chris.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53# I've got you under my skin
0:10:53 > 0:10:56# I got you deep in the heart of me... #
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- I don't know any more of it. - Yeah, like that.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01OK, the main thing is it's the right answer, Tandi, well done.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Playing well.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04OK, we're on our way here.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09Dave, what name is given to Gustav Mahler's Second Symphony?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Right, I thought Eroica was Beethoven.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Now, I've not associated Mahler with New York. Could be very wrong here.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Kevin could be rolling his eyes.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29But I would have thought New York, possibly, would go with...
0:11:29 > 0:11:32erm, Dvorak, maybe.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I'm going to go Resurrection.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Do you think he's right, Tandi?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- I'm hoping he's not, but...- Well, you know, to be honest, I am, too.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43The name given to the Second Symphony by Gustav Mahler
0:11:43 > 0:11:46is Resurrection, Dave. Three out of three again.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48These beastly Eggheads!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Tandi, you played well. So sorry.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Knocked out, but still hope for your team.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Come back and we'll play on.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59OK, so our United Women have lost a couple of brains
0:11:59 > 0:12:00from the final round.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04The Eggheads have not lost any and they are on this roll at the moment.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07The next subject is Food & Drink.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Oh, Tandi, I'm thinking this was your one,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11but you played!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13So who do we use? Margaret?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Margaret.- Margaret, who do you want to play against?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Obviously, it can't be Lisa or Dave.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19No. Kevin.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24So, Margaret from United Women versus Kevin from the Eggheads
0:12:24 > 0:12:26on the favourite Food & Drink, Kevin. There we go.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- So, Margaret, food and drink is your thing?- Yes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Because you love to cook? - I love cooking.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I'll try anything.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I've got loads of cookbooks,
0:12:39 > 0:12:44so I'd try anything and I enjoy it when people enjoy my food.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Maybe you can cook for Kevin, because, Kevin,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48you need your palate expanded, don't you?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Yeah, I probably do, yes. - Yeah!- Yeah.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53OK, well, good luck, Margaret, on Food & Drink.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Here we go. Good luck, Margaret.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06At which point in a meal would a sundae typically be eaten?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Er...
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I'm dying to say what it is.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Go on, say it.- It's dessert!
0:13:16 > 0:13:20LAUGHTER
0:13:20 > 0:13:21It is dessert.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23OK, Kevin, your question.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Which spirit is traditionally poured over a Christmas pudding
0:13:26 > 0:13:28and then lit prior to serving?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Oh-ho! Yeah, OK,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I like the idea of the absinthe.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38That might be quite interesting.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40But traditionally, it's brandy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Brandy is correct.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45OK, Margaret, your question.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51Paprika is typically a major ingredient of which of these dishes?
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Is it in...
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Definitely not chicken kiev.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02That's all white.
0:14:05 > 0:14:11Er, I'm not very sure, but I think I'll go for Hungarian goulash.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14The answer is Hungarian goulash.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16THEY CHEER
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Well done. You're playing well, Margaret.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I can see Kevin's knees are knocking.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Under the desk.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28In which country is the smoked puffin meat known as lundi a speciality?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- How do you spell that, Jeremy? - L-U-N-D-I.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Thought it was.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41Erm, well, puffins are sea birds of northern climes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44And...
0:14:44 > 0:14:46it wouldn't be Spain.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I don't see any reason why it would be Denmark,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51although, of course, it's Scandinavian.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53But they do eat puffin meat in Iceland,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55so I would have to go for Iceland.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56You think he's right, Margaret?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I think he is right.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Yeah, he's got it right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Iceland is the right answer. So you're level.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Both playing well.
0:15:04 > 0:15:10What is the French term for egg whites that are whisked until
0:15:10 > 0:15:12they form stiff peaks?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Ooh...
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I don't think it's neige...
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I'm being drawn to pluie.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Or is it neige?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34LAUGHTER
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I'll go for pluie.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Ohh!
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Based on my bad French, pluie I think means rain.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Fracas is a fight.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49But what does neige mean? Eggs?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Snow.- Neige means snow.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Ohh, dear!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55And neige it is.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Aww!- Awwwww!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Not out yet. Let's just see what
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Kevin makes of his third question.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Which famous Dutch dish originated in Indonesia, Kevin,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11and consists of many small dishes of food served with rice?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Well, I don't... Erm...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22The other two there, I'm not sure,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26they may well be genuine Dutch things, but I don't recognise them.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31But the one that translates as rice table, rijsttafel...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I have actually had that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- You had it?- Mm, in Amsterdam, yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39The answer... Ah!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Oh, Challengers, he's got it right.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44It is rijsttafel.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Sorry, sorry, Margaret. You chased him very close there.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Just not quite. Come back to us,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Kevin will be in the final round, and we will see what happens
0:16:54 > 0:16:56in the last head-to-head.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59OK, let's just see how the United Women are feeling now.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Sorry about that, Margaret. That's... It was tight.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Collette, I think you knew the answer to that last one, did you?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I did, I did. I knew it was neige because I did French in school.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Oh, right.- I knew that meant snow.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15So I figured out that that would be the answer.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Yeah.- But not to worry.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Have you got a plan who goes next, or do you need me to tell you what the subject is?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23If you tell us the subject first, we'll work it out.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24- All right.- Yeah.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Well, United Women have lost three.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28The Eggheads are still sitting there,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30so this is the moment to strike, OK?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31It's Geography.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So, which of you two would like it?
0:17:34 > 0:17:35- Yeah. I'll go.- Pettie will go.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37OK, Pettie.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Yeah. Pettie's our secret weapon.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41The secret geographical weapon!
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Petronella from United Women versus who from the Eggheads?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48And you can have either Chris or Pat. The young men.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Oh, for your namesake?- Yeah!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'll take on Pat.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- So it's going to be Pet on Pat?- Yes!
0:17:54 > 0:17:56LAUGHTER
0:17:56 > 0:18:01So, Petronella from United Women versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Please go to our Question Room now.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Tell me about the church choir you're in, Petronella.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I belong to a church choir.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I grew up in church singing in Sunday school,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and that's when I developed a passion for singing.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20So, we get invited to weddings and functions,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23and I got married to someone who likes music as well.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Lovely. OK.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Well, good luck here on Geography.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30And would you like to go first or second against Pat?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I'll go first.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Here we go. Good luck.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Come on, let's get one more United Woman in the final.
0:18:40 > 0:18:46The Balearic Sea lies off the east coast of which country?
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Mm!
0:18:51 > 0:18:53The Balearic Sea...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Yes, that's B-A-L-E-A-R-I-C.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Balearic...
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I don't think it's Greece.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05And I don't think it's Spain either.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I'll go with Egypt.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09OK.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Pat, is that right?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I think it's between Catalonia and the Balearic Islands,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17so I would have gone for Spain.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Yes, Spain is the answer, Petronella.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23But don't worry, I know this is not your first choice of subject.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Blame Margaret for that!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28OK, Pat. Pat versus Pet...
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Whitby is a seaside town on which body of water?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Well, it's where old Dracula was washed to shore,
0:19:38 > 0:19:43and the goths meet up every year for a festival.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I think it's on the North Sea.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The North Sea is the right answer, Pat. Well done.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50OK, back to you, Petronella.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Which of these American cities is the most southerly?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I don't think it's San Francisco.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Boston or Chicago...
0:20:09 > 0:20:12I think I'll go with...
0:20:14 > 0:20:15..Chicago.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Chicago.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Eggheads, help us out here.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Well, Chicago's up on Lake Michigan,
0:20:23 > 0:20:24so it's fairly far north.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Boston is Massachusetts, New England.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28So that's fairly far north.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32San Francisco is across the other side in California and probably
0:20:32 > 0:20:33quite a way down, actually.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35It's not as far down as Los Angeles,
0:20:35 > 0:20:36but it's quite far down.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39So the most southerly of those three is San Francisco.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42San Francisco, Petronella, is the answer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45So Pat has a chance to seize the round with this question.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49In which part of Italy is the region of Puglia?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51P-U-G-L-I-A.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Oh, I think the north-west
0:20:57 > 0:21:02is mostly occupied by provinces like Piedmont and Liguria.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07The centre is the Rome, Naples, Florence chunk.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12I think Puglia is down near places like Bari.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I think it's in the south-east of the country.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16The answer is south-east, Pat.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Well done. You are a very good quizzer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21And, I'm afraid, no way back for you in this round, Petronella.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24But don't worry, you've still got the final to come.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27So please come back to us and we'll see what happens.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32It is time for the final round.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads aren't allowed
0:21:37 > 0:21:38to take part in this round.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42That's Emily, Margaret, Petronella and Tandi from United Women.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Sorry, but could you please leave the studio?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49OK, Collette. So, here we are.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Yes.- You're playing to win United Women £9,000.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- You may just be two or three questions away.- OK.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Kevin, Chris, Lisa, Dave and Pat,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00you're playing for something that money can't buy.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Well, it's more than the Eggheads' reputation, really,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05it's for the Eggheads name to go even further
0:22:05 > 0:22:07across the world of quizzing.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Perhaps be known on other planets.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15This time, the questions are all general knowledge.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18You may confer, and I'm sorry, Collette, that doesn't help you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- No.- The question is, can you, with your one brain, defeat these five?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24It can be done. Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25I'll go first, please.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31OK. Here we go. Good luck.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Collette, which of these is a term for someone
0:22:35 > 0:22:39who talks at great length without making much sense?
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Erm...
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I'm not sure I've heard of the term before,
0:22:53 > 0:22:59but I don't think it's donkeyman, somehow.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- A person who talks too much, did you say?- Yeah.- Without making any sense?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Let me read it again.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Which of these is a term for someone who talks
0:23:06 > 0:23:09at great length without making much sense?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Yeah. Erm...
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I think it could be a galligaskins.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I'm thinking it could be that. Blatherskite...
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Possibly, but...
0:23:21 > 0:23:22I'll go with the first one.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I'll go towards the left and say galligaskins.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Galligaskins is wrong, I'm afraid.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Ohhh!
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I think the only way of getting to it is maybe through "blathering".
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- OK.- "He blathered on," you know? - Oh, OK.- Blatherskite.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- A blatherskite. Oh, yeah.- Not to worry. It's a hard question.- Yeah.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Campaign to rename Radio 2's lunchtime show
0:23:41 > 0:23:43The Blatherskite Show starts here.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45LAUGHTER
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Yeah, isn't that the truth?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Galligaskins is a pair of trousers, I'm told.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Eggheads, what name is given to the process - used by poor typists -
0:23:54 > 0:23:58of typing slowly, using only one or two fingers?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- That's hunt-and-peck. - Hunt-and-peck method of typing, yes.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Hunt-and-peck? - Hunt-and-peck, I think.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Hunt... Yeah, yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Hunt-and-peck?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- Makes sense.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Well, I've always called it two-finger typing,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18but I'm told it's hunt-and-peck, Jeremy.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Hunt-and-peck is correct.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25OK. Back to you, Collette.
0:24:25 > 0:24:31How old was Charles II when the English Civil War began?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I think he could possibly...
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'm thinking either...
0:24:41 > 0:24:4312 or 32.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44I don't think he was 52.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Something is steering me away from 52.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51I think I'll go...
0:24:51 > 0:24:56I'll go with my first instinct and say 12.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58OK, 12 is your answer.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Eggheads, can you help us here?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Yes. That's right.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Yes, you're absolutely right. Well done.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06So, he was brought over from France, right?
0:25:06 > 0:25:11Well, yeah, afterwards. After the Commonwealth, he came back.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14At the time, his father was king, Charles I,
0:25:14 > 0:25:15at the time the Civil War began.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18And the family went into exile eventually.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24And after the Republic had been there for about ten years,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26he came back.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28So at the time he came back,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30he would have been closer to 30.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Yeah.- But the age he was at the beginning of the Civil War was 12.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Yeah.- Still a relatively young man in 1660, yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Right, well done, Collette.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Good quizzing. Brilliant. OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46William Boldwood and Frank Troy are characters in which book?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53It must be Far From The Madding Crowd.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55It ain't the other two.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- It was William Boldwood and Frank...?- Troy.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Sergeant Troy.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03That's Thomas Hardy's Far From The Madding Crowd, Jeremy.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It is indeed Thomas Hardy's Far From The Madding Crowd, you're right.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Now, Collette, they've stolen a slight advantage here.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Got to get this one right to stay in the contest. Take your time.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Which railway station is the busiest in Europe
0:26:19 > 0:26:23by total passenger numbers?
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Is it...
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Erm...
0:26:34 > 0:26:38I haven't been to Milan Central Station or Gare du Nord.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43I've been to London St Pancras, and that's always pretty busy.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47But you said by sheer number of people?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Yes, busiest in Europe by total passenger numbers.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Passenger numbers.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55I'm tempted to say London St Pancras,
0:26:55 > 0:27:00but I might have to go for Milan Central Station.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03I'm not sure where Gare du Nord is.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I suppose it's in France, I guess. Gare du Nord.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Ohh...
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Or could it be Gare du Nord then?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Jeremy, I think I'll go for Milan Central Station.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16OK.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20So if you've got this wrong, the Eggheads have won.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24It's actually Gare du Nord.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Oh, I should have said that.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29I know, I could see you thinking, nearly going for it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30It's a very hard one.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Well played.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42United Women have been one of the most fun teams we've ever had
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- in the studio.- Oh, thank you, thank you.- Really.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46I don't know how tight those numbers are
0:27:46 > 0:27:48on the railway stations - Eggheads?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Well, I would actually have been inclined towards London St Pancras,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53because that's three stations in one these days -
0:27:53 > 0:27:56the International, the Midland Main Line and the Thameslink.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Gare du Nord, though, has got... Well, Kevin...
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Well, I mean, it's got, obviously, the Eurostar comes in there.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- Yeah.- And then you've got the big mainline services coming in
0:28:06 > 0:28:08from Brussels and points further north.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10And all the Paris suburbs.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- The Netherlands, Belgium... - Yeah, quite a lot going on.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- It's a heaving place, really is a heaving place.- Always busy.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Hard old question, but great play from the United Women.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Thank you, Collette, so much for coming in.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25The Eggheads have done their thing and their winning streak continues.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28So it means the Challengers don't go home with the £9,000.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31We take the money and roll it over to our next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Eggheads, well done. Five of you in the final round.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I wonder who will ever beat you.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:38 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43£10,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
