0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The questions is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads, and here they are, all lined up.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:38 > 0:00:40This team are all associated
0:00:40 > 0:00:43with the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hello, I'm Andrew.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50I'm retired and a trustee of the National Museum of Computing.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Phil. I'm a software developer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Colin and I'm an IT consultant.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm John.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04I'm a journalist and a volunteer museum guide.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hello, I'm Andy and I'm a network systems engineer.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- So, Andrew and team, welcome. Good to see you here.- Great to be here.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Fantastic.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14So, just tell me about this brilliant team name,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18which we definitely haven't had before, Eggs, have we?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20We're all from the National Museum of Computing
0:01:20 > 0:01:23and one of the exhibits we're most proud of
0:01:23 > 0:01:26is a computer called WITCH that was built at Harwell,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28the atomic research establishment,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31and it's built using a very old-fashioned technology
0:01:31 > 0:01:34called dekatrons, that are basically valves
0:01:34 > 0:01:35that you used to find in old TVs,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38but these ones know how to count up to ten.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- And I'm assuming it's not that size, is it, this computer?- No, it's huge.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45It's about 10 foot high and about 20 foot long and about 4 foot deep.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- How incredible! - It keeps the room nice and warm.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I've just bought a little laptop and it was £200 and it's...
0:01:51 > 0:01:55How much more powerful will that be than your dekatrons, I wonder?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Easily a million times more powerful.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00But you have to remember, back in 1950,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03the only way to do calculations was pencil and paper.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07And, in fact, the WITCH operates at about the speed of a human,
0:02:07 > 0:02:08but the point is it keeps going.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11It doesn't have to have a sandwich or go to the bathroom.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14No, I'm not knocking it. I think it's fascinating and I remember
0:02:14 > 0:02:17when my dad was a maths teacher and they bought the first computer
0:02:17 > 0:02:19and it did fill the whole room.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- And 1950, my goodness, that's going back!- It's very early.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I'm leading a project to build a replica of a machine
0:02:25 > 0:02:28at Cambridge University that they started in 1947
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and that ran its first programme in 1949.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34And what people probably don't know is computers started
0:02:34 > 0:02:36with some of the code-breaking at Bletchley Park
0:02:36 > 0:02:38in the Second World War,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and we have a reconstruction of Colossus from 1943,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43which is, arguably, the first computer in the world.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45All right, good luck, everybody.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So, Harwell and the Dekatrons,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00so there's a handy £4,000 up for grabs for you today.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Would you like to try and win it now?- Absolutely.- Good stuff.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Music.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09So, gents, who would like this?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12That's really either John or me, isn't it?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Um... Or shall we go for Andy?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Yeah, I'll take it.- OK, Andy will take Music.- Andy, on Music.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22OK, our network systems engineer
0:03:22 > 0:03:26against which one of the Eggheads network here?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Shall we try Kevin? - I think that's worth going for.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- We'll try Kevin on Music. - That strategy has worked,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35hurling yourself at Kevin before he's fully warmed up.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37LAUGHTER
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So, Andy from Harwell and the Dekatrons
0:03:40 > 0:03:43versus Kevin from the good old-fashioned Eggheads,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45please go to our Question Room now.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Andy, what kind of music do you enjoy?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Um, quite a lot of different stuff, really.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Mainly sort of '70s prog rock stuff,
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- but some of the new stuff as well, and classical music too.- OK.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Here is your first question.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Genie In A Bottle was which singer's first UK number one single?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Ooh, let me think. Don't think it's Britney.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I'm fairly certain it's not Mariah Carey.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28So, I'm going to go for Christina Aguilera.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Yeah, very sure-footed play. You're absolutely right.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Kevin.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Link Wray's Rumble and Booker T & The MGs' Green Onions
0:04:38 > 0:04:41are both examples of which of the following?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Well, I do like both of those.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50They're instrumentals.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Yes, they are instrumentals.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Your question now, Andy.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00How is the word "New" spelled in the name "new metal",
0:05:00 > 0:05:02a form of heavy metal music,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06incorporating elements of rap and hip-hop,
0:05:06 > 0:05:12that was popularised by bands such as Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well, I don't think I need to worry about this one.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22I think it's "Nu".
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Nu is the right answer, yes.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27OK, Kevin, your question.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32What is the title of Radiohead's critically acclaimed 2016 album?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Um, it's A Moon Shaped Pool.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- A Moon Shaped Pool is correct.- Yeah.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Andy, your question, third question.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Keep him on the ropes here.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Which jazz artist recorded albums in the 1950s and '60s
0:05:53 > 0:05:58entitled Walkin', Cookin', Relaxin', Workin' and Steamin'?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I'm really not sure about this one.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09So, I think I'm going to need to guess.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Um, I'm going to go with John Coltrane.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Kevin, do you know this?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I don't think it's Miles Davis
0:06:17 > 0:06:20and I know the titles of a couple of John Coltrane albums
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and I don't recall these one-word things,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25so I'd probably have gone for Charlie Mingus, but...
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- It's interesting. It is Miles Davis, actually.- Oh, really?- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31OK, Kevin, your third question.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34If you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Used in traditional Korean music,
0:06:35 > 0:06:40the changgo is a two-headed drum that resembles which shape?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Don't think that's one I've come across?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46How do you spell that, Jeremy?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49C-H-A-N-G-G-O.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50I'll rule out barrel.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54There are various types of drums which could be seen as rather...
0:06:57 > 0:06:58..barrel-like.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01This may have something specifically Korean about it but...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I'm a bit torn between the others.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09It's probably a bluff but on the basis of why is hourglass there,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'll go for hourglass.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Hourglass is the right answer,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Kevin, so well done. You've taken the round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Andy, sorry you've been knocked out by our Egghead
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and Kevin, not you, will be in the final.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Please return, rejoin your teams, gents.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27As it stands, Harwell and the Dekatrons have lost a brain
0:07:27 > 0:07:29from the final round. You lost a few RAM.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31That's the computer way of saying it, isn't it?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Absolutely, but there's still plenty of power left in the CPU.- Exactly!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38The processor is still going great guns, I can see that.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41The Eggheads are all sitting there, but they may get complacent.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44That's what we have to hope for. The next subject is Science.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Which of you would like Science?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Shall I take that one?- Mmm. - OK, I'll take Science.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Andrew, team captain, against which Egghead? Obviously, can't be Kevin.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- It's you and me, Lisa.- Excellent.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Brilliant so, Andrew from Harwell and the Dekatrons
0:07:58 > 0:08:00versus Lisa, who likes her science.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Cos your degree was History and English, wasn't it?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07I don't know what planet you're on, Jeremy! The degree bit was right.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08To ensure there's no conferring,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14So, Andrew, you mentioned your love of computers.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Was that your background, computing, or something else?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Yeah, I studied Computer Science at the University of Leeds
0:08:20 > 0:08:22and then went to Cambridge and did a PhD
0:08:22 > 0:08:24building computer operating systems.
0:08:24 > 0:08:30Brilliant! So, roughly what decade was that in? Give me an idea.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- The 1970s.- So you were really ahead of the curve. How fascinating.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yeah, my career followed the growth of the computer industry.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's been great fun.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- OK, so, Andrew, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Your first question, Andrew, is this.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50In trials of a new drug,
0:08:50 > 0:08:54a placebo normally contains how much of the drug?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I know this one.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01It's none at all, and the placebo effect
0:09:01 > 0:09:04is where not having any of the drug actually produces the results
0:09:04 > 0:09:07because your mind plays tricks on you.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09None at all is quite right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Lisa.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15In optics, what is the deviation of light rays through lenses
0:09:15 > 0:09:19causing objects to appear blurred known as?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Dunno. It certainly sounds like MY optics.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Everything's blurred without my contact lenses.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Um, yeah, I mean, it's one of those times
0:09:31 > 0:09:33where I'm trying to answer a question
0:09:33 > 0:09:36that's gone flying over my head at a rate of knots.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38But we'll go for aberration.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Yeah, I didn't know this myself, but aberration is used for that as well.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44OK, aberration, the answer.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Andrew, the South American capybara, the largest rodent on Earth,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54is able to perform which of these activities very well?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Ah, a biology question - my Achilles heel.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Gosh...
0:10:07 > 0:10:11It sounds more like a ground-based creature,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15but I'm sure it's not jumping long distances. That's a kangaroo.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18So, I'm going to go for climbing tall trees.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22The capybara is a specialist at climbing tall trees.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Lisa, is that right, do you think?
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Do you know, I'm a little bit torn
0:10:25 > 0:10:27cos I had a vague idea it was a jumper,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29but I might have gone for climbing tall trees.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Anyone else here? - Great swimmer.- It can swim.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Ah, pretty much everyone here thinks it's swimming
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- and it IS swimming underwater, Andrew.- Argh!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39OK, Lisa, your question
0:10:39 > 0:10:41to take the lead.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Dinosaurs are believed to have died out how many years ago?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Um, so, as ever, with science subjects
0:10:53 > 0:10:55where I'm not all that great,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I'm forced to fall back on the subjects where I AM great.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Jurassic Park's tag line -
0:11:00 > 0:11:04"An adventure 65 million years in the making." There you go.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07So, I think I can probably take that as fairly standard.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I think 5 million would be cutting it a little bit close.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12So, we'll go for 65 million years.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Getting it through a Steven Spielberg tag line is impressive.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- 65 million is quite right. - Thank you, Mr Spielberg.- Brilliant.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21That's what you're up against, Andrew -
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- that level of knowledge.- Indeed.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30They don't care how they get them right around here, I tell you.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33What is the name of the part of the small intestine
0:11:33 > 0:11:36that connects the duodenum to the ileum?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44And you need to get this right.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Colon, to put it crudely, feels like the wrong end.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50That leaves me between the caecum and the jejunum.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I'm going to go for the first, the caecum.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- The caecum is your answer. As in Harry Secombe!- Mm-hmm.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Any advice from the Eggheads here? Come on, Eggs.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Jejunum.- Kevin?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Jejunum.- Jejunum.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10So, the answer is jejunum.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I'm sorry, Andrew, we didn't have enough megabytes
0:12:13 > 0:12:14in there, did we?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- We didn't.- Lisa, you've triumphed on science.- Alarmingly.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Please come back to us and rejoin your teams.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25As it stands, Harwell and the Dekatrons brought
0:12:25 > 0:12:28a lot of computing power to the table but you've lost two brains.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31The Eggheads have not lost any but they have, many times,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35lost the game from this position, so keep plugging on.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36The next subject is History,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39so which of you brilliant computer people would like this?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- I guess that's me. - You'll take it, Colin?- All right.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45OK, Colin, on History, against which Egghead?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- It can't be Kevin or Lisa, obviously.- I'll play Dave.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Yeah, sounds good.- Good stuff.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53So, Colin from Harwell and the Dekatrons
0:12:53 > 0:12:57versus Dave from the Eggheads on History, Dave.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Yeah, see how it goes.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Some areas of History are better than others for me.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03To ensure there's no conferring,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Colin, you're originally from the USA.- Yeah, I'm afraid I am.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12No, don't apologise!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14And how are you on your British history,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17because, obviously, that might just come up in our History round here?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I'm not bad, I'm not bad. I did history at St Andrews,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23modern and medieval, but unfortunately,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I've become a little specialist in computer history since then,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29so hopefully, I can recall what I was taught.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30OK, good luck against Dave.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Would you like to go first or second, Colin?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34I'd like to go second, thanks.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40OK, Dave, my friend, good luck to you as well. Here's your question.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44How old was William Pitt the Younger when he died
0:13:44 > 0:13:46during his second stint as Prime Minister?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I don't know.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I'm just trying to get a hold on dates.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I've got a total brain freeze here. Don't need the question repeating,
0:13:59 > 0:14:03it's just trying to get a handle on when he was...
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It's his second term we're talking about, isn't it?
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- During his second stint as Prime Minister, yeah.- Right, OK.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I think he was 24 when he was Prime Minister first time.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Um, I should be able to get exact dates on it
0:14:14 > 0:14:18but I'm going to go 38 and hope for the best.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Dave, it is 46.- Mmm.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23All right.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Colin, your first question.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26The Greek War of Independence,
0:14:26 > 0:14:31that began in 1821 and concluded in 1832,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34was a struggle against which empire?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Now, you'd think I'd know this.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46But 19th century is not my period, as they say in history studies.
0:14:46 > 0:14:52Um...I am going to say - and I'm going to regret this -
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I am going to say the Ottoman Empire.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- You got it right. Well done. Ottoman Empire it is.- Phew!
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Dave, back to you to catch up.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06In which part of the Palace of Versailles was the 1919 treaty
0:15:06 > 0:15:08that ended World War I signed?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Doing well today. Um, I'm going to go the Hall of Mirrors.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24OK, Eggheads, do you know?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Is he right?- He is.- You're right.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Hall of Mirrors it is.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Colin, back to you.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Operation Copperhead was the code name
0:15:32 > 0:15:35of a 1944 deception plan by the Allies
0:15:35 > 0:15:39that involved the American actor Clifton James
0:15:39 > 0:15:42impersonating which military leader?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Again, I don't know this one and out of the Allied leaders,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54I'm going to be choosing between Patton and Montgomery,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56but I would have thought Montgomery.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Um, I'm going to stick with Bernard Montgomery.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Really good play. You're right. Bernard Montgomery it was.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05It's 2-1. If you get this wrong, Dave,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- you're out.- Yep. - I'm sorry to remind you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12What was the name of the ship that discovered the Marie Celeste
0:16:12 > 0:16:15on 4th December, 1872?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Right.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Was the Birkenhead the one where women and children first...?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Don't know about the James Caird.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36I'm not entirely sure, but I'm going to go for the Dei Gratia, please.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Dei Gratia is quite right.- Mm-hmm.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42So, we go back to you, Colin.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Chance to take the round, otherwise we go to Sudden Death.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Here's your question. The Battle of Castillon,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51which is often said to have ended the Hundred Years' War,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53took place in which century?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Now, this should be fairly automatic.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I'm thinking it's the 15th century.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I'm just trying to make sure I don't goof this one up.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I'm going to stick with the 15th century.
0:17:09 > 0:17:1315th is the correct answer. Well done. Three out of three.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Good play, Colin!- Thank you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Well done. You're in the final round.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Maybe things are turning for our Challengers.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Sorry, Dave, you've been knocked out. Please return to us now.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Harwell and the Dekatrons have lost two brains from the final round.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31The Eggheads have lost a brain now. They lost Dave.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34And the last subject before the final is Sport.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Who wants this?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Who was going to be our sports candidate? Did we decide?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- It's got to be Phil or John. - I'll have a go with it.- OK.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I know nothing, less than nothing about sport, but...
0:17:46 > 0:17:50It's time for, what was the famous line of pointless sacrifice?
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Fall on the sword? Yeah.- Phil, before you go, choose an Egghead.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Who looks like they don't want to do this?- It's got to be Chris, I think.
0:17:57 > 0:18:03So, Phil from Harwell and the Dekatrons versus our own Chris,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06known as Mr Sport - well, not really - from the Eggheads.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Please go to the Question Room now.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12So, Sport is not your thing, I'm sensing, Phil.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Um, sacrificial lamb comes to mind.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:18 > 0:18:19I think I'll go first, please.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Here is your question.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Who won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award in 1970?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I haven't heard of John Curry.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Virginia Wade, of course, was tennis, I believe.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Henry Cooper, boxing.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Um... I'll go with Henry Cooper.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Lovely answer. Quite right, well done. Chris.- Mm-hmm.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54By what nickname is the football team Crewe Alexandra known?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Oh, gosh.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well, they're called a number of things in Crewe,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05but their official nickname is the Railwaymen.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08That question combines everything you love.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Crewe and railways, although not football, of course.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Railwaymen is the right answer. They just come out as they come out.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17We didn't know he was going to be sitting this one.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21So, Phil, in which year did the basketball player Michael Jordan
0:19:21 > 0:19:23make his debut for the Chicago Bulls?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34When you first said the name, I was immediately thinking of the '80s.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I'm going to have to go straight down the middle with 1984.
0:19:38 > 0:19:44It's that kind of trainers, um...that kind of era. 1984.
0:19:44 > 0:19:481984 is right! Really good.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Chris,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53which team beat India by 125 runs
0:19:53 > 0:19:57to win the 2003 Cricket World Cup?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Unlikely to be South Africa. Don't think it was Australia.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Think it was bit of a David and Goliath do with Sri Lanka,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08so I'll say Sri Lanka.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- It is actually Australia.- Mm-hmm. - So...
0:20:13 > 0:20:15the score is 2-1.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Phil, this is really rather good here. Here's your question.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Which New Zealand rugby union coach was appointed coach
0:20:23 > 0:20:28of the British and Irish Lions for their 2001 tour to Australia?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Um...I haven't got a clue.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Um...I'm going to say Steve Hansen.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45- I'm afraid you're wrong. Graham Henry is the right answer.- Right.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49OK, Chris, get this right, you're still in it.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Get it wrong and it's the sin bin.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Who was the only player to defeat Ray Reardon
0:20:55 > 0:20:58in a World Snooker Championship final?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06It's a toss-up between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor. Um...
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It needs a good steady player, so I'll say Steve Davis.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14OK, Alex Higgins is the answer.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Chris, you're wrong.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Phil, how about that?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You've won on Sport! What about that?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- APPLAUSE - Thanks.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And it means you'll be playing in the final and Chris will not be.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27If you both return to your teams,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29we will play the all-important final round.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It is time for the final round
0:21:34 > 0:21:36which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:39 > 0:21:41won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45So, Andrew and Andy from Harwell and the Dekatrons,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47and Chris and Dave from the Eggheads,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:50 > 0:21:51So, Phil, Colin and John,
0:21:51 > 0:21:56you are playing to win Harwell and the Dekatrons £4,000.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Over here, we have Kevin and Lisa and Pat, who are playing,
0:21:59 > 0:22:04basically, for the soul of the Eggheads, for your reputation.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10This time, they're all General Knowledge
0:22:10 > 0:22:12and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14So, Harwell and the Dekatrons, the question is,
0:22:14 > 0:22:19are your three brains able to defeat these three over here?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23We'd like to go first, please.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Your final round questions start with this.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32What name is given to the ability of some animals
0:22:32 > 0:22:37to return to a certain place even when separated by great distances?
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- It's homing.- Homing. - It's homing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Our answer is homing.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Homing is right, well done. Back to you, Eggs.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55What is faience a type of?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01It's a type of pottery, isn't it?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Type of...- Sort of earth, glazed.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- I'm happy with that. - Definitely pottery.- That's pottery.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10How do you know this stuff? How do you know?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Pottery is right. OK.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Here's your second question.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20In which year did Bulgaria join the European Union?
0:23:26 > 0:23:30It's certainly not 2013. I think it's 2007.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32You DON'T think it's 2013?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Well, there's accession dates
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and then there's various scales of membership as you come up.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- They're one of the new ones, aren't they?- Yeah.- Have you any idea, Phil?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I'm drawn to 2007, not for any good...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I'm drawn to that as well, but, hopefully,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I'm not getting the dates wrong,
0:23:53 > 0:23:58cos there is a scale of...um, of acceding.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01On our heads be it, but...
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- There's nothing like forgetting your own lifetime!- I know.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10I'm frustrated by this. Anyway, the consensus is that it's 2007, is it?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Do we agree?- I... That...
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Without further inspiration, yeah, I think that's where we stick.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Jeremy, I think we are going to take a punt on 2007.
0:24:24 > 0:24:272007. Well, there was, there was...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I think the reason you might have wanted to go later
0:24:30 > 0:24:32was something to do with the migration rules,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36because that was the big story of Bulgaria and Romania,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- but that would have misled you, cos it was 2007.- Yeah.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I think there might have been a hold on migration for a while after that.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46That was the reason that that was more recent.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48OK, so you've got two out of two.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49That's good.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52The Eggheads are behind. Eggs, you need to catch up.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55The poet John Cooper Clarke
0:24:55 > 0:24:57is famously from which part of the world?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- He's very, very Salford. - He's very Salford, yes.- Yeah?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08We're fairly sure he's from Salford.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11He is. Famously from Salford, I don't know,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13but he is from Salford, yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15The next question is for Harwell and the Dekatrons.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21What would one normally use to play the game faro,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25or "fah-ro"? It's F-A-R-O.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- It's playing cards, isn't it? It's playing cards.- Yeah.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Yeah, I think so. We all agree on that, do we?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Yeah, we all think playing cards.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Playing cards is right. Well done.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Three out of three in the final round.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42£4,000 we're playing for.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45You may not have to do another stroke of work today.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Let's just see. The Eggheads mess this up, then you've won the money.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Here is your question, Eggs.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57A Macfarlane is a form of what item of clothing?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Presumably that's spelled as it sounds.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I was going to say, just for clarity,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07it's M-A-C-F... Like that.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Macfarlane. M-A-C-F-A-R-L-A-N-E, all one word.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I don't think I've heard the name.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16No, it doesn't ring any bells.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Have I heard of a Macfarlane knit, or am I just grasping at straws now?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- It's possible.- Um, I'm slightly worried I'm making that up.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- In terms of a jumper or something? - Yeah.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29My instinct would be to rule out skirt
0:26:29 > 0:26:34because there are more types of others to go for.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Yeah, I can't really...
0:26:36 > 0:26:41A Macfarlane skirt? Does that sound...?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46No, your coats are the ones that tend to have...
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Crombie and things like that. Um, but...
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Yeah, I don't think it's skirt, so...
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It's between coat and jumper.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It's obviously a Scots-sounding name.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04So, you could make a case for either of those.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Do you think you've heard of it as a pattern?
0:27:07 > 0:27:11As I say, I think I might just be grasping at straws there.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I really... If you said, "Is it a coat of a jumper?",
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I would really struggle
0:27:16 > 0:27:18to make any sort of case for either of them.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Do you have a preference?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I... I actually slightly prefer jumper.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- I hate to muddy the waters.- OK.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- But I have absolutely no reason to...- Well, I have nothing.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32No reason whatsoever to say that.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Um, I'll take... Go for jumper.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- I'll take it.- OK.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37- I'll take it.- All right.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39We're all at sea here, Jeremy,
0:27:39 > 0:27:43completely at sea. We're going to take a chance with jumper.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47I'm afraid you're wrong because the correct answer is coat.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49So, Eggheads, you've lost.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Congratulations, Challengers, you've won!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54APPLAUSE
0:27:56 > 0:28:00I listen so closely to the way they make decisions and it's beyond me.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02But in the end, you didn't know.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Somebody at some point said, "There are lots of kinds of coats",
0:28:05 > 0:28:08and maybe that's the only little thing you've got
0:28:08 > 0:28:10is that there are lots of coats.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12But the main thing is you've won. Many congratulations.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14You've beaten them, you've won £4,000.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18who were just getting themselves back together
0:28:18 > 0:28:20after a slightly torrid time.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21You've proved that they can be beaten.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Join us next time on Eggheads, please,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27to see if a new team of Challengers will be as successful
0:28:27 > 0:28:31as Harwell and the Dekatrons. Till then, goodbye.
