0:00:06 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today are
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Hippo's Hippocampus from Kent. Team captain John has enlisted the help
0:00:40 > 0:00:43of his quizziest friends in an effort to defeat the Eggheads.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hello, my name's John, and I'm a ghost tour guide.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hello, my name's Andrew, and I'm manager of a punting company.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Zoey, and I'm a retired NHS dentist.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Hello, my name's John,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00and I'm managing director of a hygiene service provider.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, my name's David, and I'm an ex-customs officer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06So, John and team, hello. Hello. Great to see you.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Thank you for coming.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Tell us what brings you all together, John.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13I gathered my best quizzers' minds together to hopefully
0:01:13 > 0:01:15crack a few Eggheads.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17And Hippo's Hippocampus. Tell us about the team name, John.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Well, I came up with the name because at school, well, my surname
0:01:21 > 0:01:24is Hipsley, and they called me Hippo as my nickname,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and the hippocampus being a part of the brain that contains memory,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28so I thought, together, Hippo's Hippocampus.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Are you a quizzer? I am. Good, fantastic. Anyone else a quizzer?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Yes, right.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Suddenly, the Eggheads are all excited because they love to meet
0:01:38 > 0:01:41real quizzers. And you have a very interesting job, John,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44because you are the director of Canterbury Ghost Tours.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48That's correct. And you take people on tours around Canterbury,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50is that right? That's right, around the old city.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51OK. And do you point out ghosts,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54or they probably fly away just in the nick of time?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Never usually very reliable, ghosts!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Well, I know these can seem a bit ghostly,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01certainly a bit frightening sometimes, these Eggheads.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Good luck spooking them. I hope the spirits are with us!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I love the bowtie, by the way. Thank you, sir. Good luck, team.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Every day, there is ?1,000 cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16that prize money rolls over to our next show. So, Hippo's Hippocampus,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19the Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22They are getting on not so much a roll as a trot.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25But it may break into a gallop. Who knows? You've got to stop them.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27There's ?4,000 if you do.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Would you like to try and win it? Yes. I thought so.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37And you can have either Judith, Kevin, Pat, Steve or Lisa.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Politics. Right, who wants to do Politics?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44John? Zoey? No, I'm no good at Politics.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I think that's a bit mean.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47I'll take Politics.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Oh, John, you looked for a volunteer, and they volunteered you.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51So who would you like?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Lisa? Lisa, yes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I think we are going to choose Lisa, if we may.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yep, she has her moments, don't you? Hippo, hippo, hooray!
0:02:59 > 0:03:03John from Hippo's Hippocampus versus Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06on Politics. Just to ensure there's no conferring, would you please
0:03:06 > 0:03:09take your positions for the first time in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13On Politics, John, your choice.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Good luck against Lisa.
0:03:20 > 0:03:26From 1983-2007, Tony Blair served as MP for which constituency?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Well, Finchley, I seem to recall, was a pretty safe Tory seat.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Huntingdon, a bit of a funny old seat,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39so I'm going to go Sedgefield.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Sedgefield's right. Finchley was Mrs T, Huntingdon was John Major.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Sedgefield was Tony Blair.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Lisa, your question. In which century was
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Spencer Percival assassinated whilst serving as UK Prime Minister?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I've got 1820 something in my head.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I've been going through my Prime Ministers.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04My dates are notoriously bad.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08But I think it's the 19th.
0:04:08 > 0:04:1019th is absolutely right.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Kevin, do you know the date? 1812. 1812.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Bother. Was he shot? Is that my imagination?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21He was shot, yes. Yes, because he famously shouted out, "I am shot,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23"I am shot!" And it was said to be the only time a politician
0:04:23 > 0:04:26had told the truth. LAUGHTER
0:04:26 > 0:04:27OK, John, your question.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Which city is home to a Parliament called the Knesset?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Well, it's not Cairo, and it's certainly not Helsinki.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I think we are going to have to go for Jerusalem.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Bang on. Jerusalem it is.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Lisa, over to you. In 2004,
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Robert Kilroy-Silk was elected as the MEP for the East Midlands,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51for which party?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Was it a very early incarnation of Ukip?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00I don't think it's Green.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I don't think it's Liberal, either.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Yeah, OK. I'll try Ukip.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Ukip is correct.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Third question for you, John.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Which of these is thought to have hastened the death of the
0:05:15 > 0:05:19two-time UK Prime Minister, Robert Peel, in 1850?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Oh, that's a tough little one, isn't it?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I think it's unlikely that he was stung by a wasp, although that
0:05:31 > 0:05:33could have set off anaphylactic shock.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Overheating in the bath seems pretty unlikely because they didn't bathe
0:05:36 > 0:05:39very often then at all, so I'm going to go for he fell off his horse.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Yes, you've got three out of three right.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Well done, John. He fell off his horse.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46The hippocampus is working well, there.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50OK, Lisa. What was the maiden name of Clementine
0:05:50 > 0:05:52who married Winston Churchill in 1908?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I thought, "I'll know that when it comes up."
0:05:59 > 0:06:00I don't.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07I wonder... I sort of like Harrington, but I don't know.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I've nothing concrete to base this on. It's very awkward.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I'm fairly sure she was a connected lady, and I just forget
0:06:13 > 0:06:15to whom she was actually connected.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I don't know.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Harrington.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Harrington. Let's see, Judith, do you know?
0:06:23 > 0:06:28Hozier. Hozier is the right answer, Lisa, so, sorry.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30You've fallen behind, there. You've been knocked out.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Well done. The Challengers have taken a scalp.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37John, you're in the final. Come back to us, we'll play on.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39So, good start for Hippo's Hippocampus.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41They've not lost any brains from the final round.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45The Eggheads have lost Lisa. The next subject is Music.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Who would like Music?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50For you, I think, Zoey. Right, OK, yeah.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Right, Zoey. I'll do Music, Jeremy, yeah.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Good stuff. Who would you like to play? Obviously can't be Lisa.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Can I play Judith, please?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You may, indeed. Zoey from Hippo's Hippocampus
0:07:00 > 0:07:03takes on Judith from the Eggheads.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08So, Zoey, golf is your great passion?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Absolutely, I love it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I've played for 51 years and, in all that time,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I've tried to have a hole in one, and every time I stand on a par-3,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I think, "This is it," and it never happens!
0:07:19 > 0:07:23But I just enjoy the companionship and the friendship.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It's just good fun. But I know from friends who play,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28it's quite a time-consuming thing, isn't it? It can be, yes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33And it's good that John R, he plays golf as well, my husband.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37It's something that we can do together, so that's good.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Would you like to go first or second on Music, Zoey?
0:07:40 > 0:07:41I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47So here we go, Zoey, good luck.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51"I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is
0:07:51 > 0:07:55"while you're in the world," is a repeated line
0:07:55 > 0:07:57from which Elton John song?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Elton John, whilst he was doing this album,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08is one of my favourite singers.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10And it's from Your Song.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It is. It's so beautiful, isn't it? Yes.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16OK, Judith, let's see if we can get some music knowledge.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Dredge some! Oh! In 1987,
0:08:19 > 0:08:25Letter From America became the first UK top ten single for which duo?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I don't know.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33The Proclaimers.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Is it? Yeah, totally!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Oh, thank goodness for that. The Proclaimers.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39All right, so, she got it right, which is very annoying,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Zoey, but that's the way it goes. Your second question.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Which of these found fame as the lead singer of the group,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Bay City Rollers?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It definitely wasn't Roy Wood, because he was with Wizzard.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Now, the Bay City Rollers,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I think it's Dave Bartram,
0:09:01 > 0:09:02but I may be wrong.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Ah! No, it is Les McKeown.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Let's just think. Who was Dave Bartram? Any Eggheads know?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Showaddywaddy. Showaddywaddy was Dave Bartram.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Ah, right, yes. He was the main singer, wasn't he?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14All right, so, Judith has a chance to take the lead.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19In 2002, Javine Hylton just missed out on joining which girl group?
0:09:24 > 0:09:25No idea.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Girls Aloud.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Girls Aloud is right. I don't know how you're doing this.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33It's uncanny!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38That was the magic right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39So, she's in the lead.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Zoey, you need to get this one right to stay in. Yes.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46In the work Peter And The Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48which instrument represents the duck?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56That is an interesting question. Erm...
0:09:56 > 0:10:00The duck. The duck would presumably be a bit of a quacky sound,
0:10:00 > 0:10:06but they are also a bit waddly. I don't think it's the oboe.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I can imagine the duck waddling,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10so I'm going to say the glockenspiel.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I completely understand that the sort of motion on a glockenspiel
0:10:13 > 0:10:17could be a duck's waddle. This is, I think, more about the sound.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Right. And the oboe is the answer.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Oboe is the answer, the first one I excluded.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Never mind. Don't worry.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's early days, still.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Judith, you've gone through on Music.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I shouldn't have done, is all I can say.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Well, I won't disagree with you there!
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Zoey beaten by our Egghead, and as a result, you're not in the final.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Please come back to us, both of you, and we'll play round three.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40What about that? As it stands,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Hippo's Hippocampus have lost a brain from the final round.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45The Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Very evenly matched, isn't it?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50The next subject is Food Drink.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Now, who is the Food Drink person?
0:10:53 > 0:10:54I might. Yes?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Happy about that? Yeah, OK.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58OK. I'll take that, Jeremy, please.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00OK, John. Managing director of a hygiene service provider.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Against which Egghead? It can't be Lisa or Judith.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I'd like to take Kevin, please. All right.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10You've been watching the show carefully, I can tell.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15John from Hippo's Hippocampus is taking on Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Food Drink, not his favourite subject. No.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Well, they're still picking you for Food Drink, Kevin.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Yeah, although, funnily enough, it is a little while
0:11:27 > 0:11:30since I've done one, I think. We used to joke that you had a house
0:11:30 > 0:11:32with no kitchen, but I know you've now moved into a new house.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Is there a kitchen in that one? Well, a flat, yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38There is a kitchenette. Any sight of an oven in there?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41There is an oven, yes. Has it been opened yet?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I've opened it to look inside, yes.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47"Have you cooked anything in your oven yet?" is what I'm asking.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I haven't cooked anything in my oven. It is in use.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54It's in use as a handy surface on which to stack magazines. OK.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Would you like to go first or second, John?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'd like to take the first questions, please, Jeremy.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04So, here we go. Food Drink.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07The soup, borscht, usually made with beetroot,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10is a speciality from which area of the world?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18OK, well, I don't believe that it'll be Central America, nor do I believe
0:12:18 > 0:12:22that it'll be Southeast Asia, so my answer will be Eastern Europe.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Eastern Europe is the right answer.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Well done, John. Kevin, your question.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Falafel are usually served in what type of bread?
0:12:34 > 0:12:40Well, pitta is a more Mediterranean type of bread, generally.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Focaccia and ciabatta are more specifically Italian.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49And falafel is thought of as a Middle Eastern dish,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51so I will say pitta.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Pitta is quite right. Back to you, John.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Which of these is a vital ingredient for a Bernaise sauce?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05That's probably one of the very few sauces that I've never made.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I've done lots of beef stock and I've done lots of red wine sauce,
0:13:08 > 0:13:13so I would believe it is a yellow sauce that is made with egg yolk.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Absolutely right, well done.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Good quizzing. Egg yolk is right.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Elimination, always a good way. Kevin, your question.
0:13:21 > 0:13:27Lapsang souchong is categorised as being a type of what colour tea?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31It's not white.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I hope I'm not going wrong here.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I believe that would be categorised as black.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Yes, nice. Black is right.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47So, level. John, the third question could be crucial. Here we go.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50The Yorkshire village of Denby Dale is particularly famous
0:13:50 > 0:13:52for making giant what?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I have no logic to this, really, but I believe the only thing that
0:14:00 > 0:14:03could be giant would be the doughnuts.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Doughnuts. I'm just thinking about whether I might have been there.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Denby Dale. Anyone been?
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Junction 39 of the M1,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12it's only down the road from me, and I've never heard this.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14You haven't heard this? No.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Pat? They make giant pies.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18It's sort of like every 20 years, or 30 years,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21they have almost a festival. Do they roll them down a hill?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24No, no, I think they just make big pies.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Pies is the answer, John.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Pat confirms that they make very large ones.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I didn't ask him whether he's ever had one.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38OK. Kevin, your question.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40You can take the round with this.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43What type of vegetable is a Kelvedon Marvel?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Ah, K-E-L-V-E-D-O-N?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Yes, exactly. Marvel, M-A-R-V-E-L.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Because there are a few things called Kelvedon, I believe.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02And I must admit, I was expecting pea to come up there.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06That's a bit unfortunate.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10So I don't think it would be a turnip.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I suppose it could be either of the others,
0:15:16 > 0:15:22because the logic of naming is not always obvious. Erm...
0:15:24 > 0:15:30I think, however, on the basis that I was expecting to see a legume
0:15:30 > 0:15:35come up by way of a pea, I would probably have to go
0:15:35 > 0:15:38for runner bean, here, on the basis that that is another legume.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43It's a sort of logic,
0:15:43 > 0:15:48but it could be a Brussels sprout. I really don't think it's a turnip.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I will go for runner bean.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Runner bean is your answer.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59I suppose it's as near to your pea as you've got an option for.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01That's the logic, basically,
0:16:01 > 0:16:05but naming conventions are not always straightforward.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08The answer is runner bean.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Well done, Kevin. On Food Drink, you've taken the round.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12John, sorry, he's played well. Yes.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14He does play well in almost every round.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16You were beaten by our Egghead, and as a result,
0:16:16 > 0:16:17you will not be in the final round.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20So, come back to us, we've got one more round before the final.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25So, as it stands, Hippo's Hippocampus have lost two brains
0:16:25 > 0:16:28from the final round, while the Eggheads have lost just one.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Time to level it up, maybe, team. The next subject is Arts Books.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So, who would like this? David? I'll take it.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41OK? David. David, our ex-customs officer.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Against either Steve or Pat.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Steve or Pat, Dave? It's one of my ambitions to take on Pat.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Right.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Is the other ambition to take on Steve?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57David from Hippo's Hippocampus is going to fulfil an ambition to
0:16:57 > 0:16:58go into the booth now with Pat.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02To ensure there is no conferring, please now take your positions.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Arts Books. Do you want to go first or second, David?
0:17:06 > 0:17:07I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13David, good luck. Here's your first question.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Which Harry Potter book comes between The Order Of The Phoenix
0:17:17 > 0:17:19and The Deathly Hallows?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I really don't know this one.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29I'm not a big Harry Potter fan.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I think I'm going to go for The Goblet Of Fire, please, Jeremy.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Now, I'm not, particularly. My kids are.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40And I know that it comes up an awful lot.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Pat, can you tell us the answer here?
0:17:42 > 0:17:47Well, The Deathly Hallows, I think, is the last of the books.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I think it was preceded by The Half-Blood Prince.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Yeah, the answer is The Half-Blood Prince, David.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57So, Pat has the chance to take an early lead.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02L'Ultima Cena is another name for which famous painting?
0:18:07 > 0:18:13The Night Watch has an alternative name to do with the company of...
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Is it Corporal Banning Cocq, or something?
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Guernica, I'm not sure it has an alternative name.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23But this sounds good for The Last Supper.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26So I'll go for The Last Supper.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Yes, The Last Supper is right.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30David, back to you. Which of these is the title of a famous painting by
0:18:30 > 0:18:34George Stubbs that is on display in the National Gallery?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I really don't know this. I know that Stubbs...
0:18:46 > 0:18:51I think he was mostly painting to do with horse racing and horses.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I think I'm going to go for Whistlejacket, please, Jeremy.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Let me ask your team-mates. Is he right?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Yes. Yes, absolutely right, well done.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The logic was brilliant, there, because it is that jumping horse,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04isn't it? It sounds like horses.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Yeah, it's 1-1.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10We go to you, Pat. The first editions of Jane Austen's novel,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Sense Sensibility, were published anonymously, with what appearing
0:19:14 > 0:19:18on the cover page where the author's name would normally be?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32I have a preference for "By A Lady". I'm just thinking it over.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37It's strange how, Walter Scott, his early books were all published
0:19:37 > 0:19:40without using his name, and Jane Austen did the same.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I think they were By A Lady.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47Indeed, yes. She wasn't trying to hide that she was female, Pat.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50She was just, for some reason, not giving her name.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Is that right?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's to do partly with the gentility and this sort of thing.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57What do you do as a respectable profession?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00And her tomb in Winchester Cathedral, her original tomb,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02doesn't even mention the fact that she was a writer.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04And that had to be remedied some time later,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08and another plaque put up by people who appreciated her work.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Really? Really? How amazing.
0:20:11 > 0:20:17OK. He's ahead, and it means, David, you need to get this one right.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Yep. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a poem by which writer?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26And Childe is spelled C-H-I-L-D-E.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35OK, I don't think there's much of a clue in the question there.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I really don't know this. Erm...
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I'm going to say Byron, Jeremy.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Big sigh of relief from Andrew. Is he right? Andrew is smiling.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Byron is the right answer.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50You're still in it. Well done, David.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Let's see what Pat can do now.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Pat gets this right, he's in the final.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57What is the surname of Susannah, the cousin of Jude,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59in Thomas Hardy's novel, Jude The Obscure?
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Hmm.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Now, this is tricky.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Who was Clem Yeobright?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Or am I imagining him? Have I just made him up?
0:21:16 > 0:21:21I think I may have made him up. And yes, I think he might be
0:21:21 > 0:21:25a Hardy character, so is that enough reason to
0:21:25 > 0:21:26attach the surname to Susannah?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31I think I'll do that.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35It's not very convincing logic at all, so I'll go for Yeobright.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Yeobright is your answer.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Any Eggs know? Bridehead.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Bridehead, says Kevin, and he's right.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Bridehead is the answer. You got it wrong.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46The scores are level after three questions. How about that, David?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49You can now say you've taken Pat to Sudden Death.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Even better. Another ambition fulfilled.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53It gets a little bit harder here, David,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56because I don't give you alternative options, OK? I understand, yeah.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Which fictional bear came to be resented by the illustrator
0:22:00 > 0:22:04E H Shepard, who called him "That silly old bear"?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08The only bears I can think of are Rupert Bear or perhaps Paddington.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14And something in the back of my mind is saying Paddington,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17but there's really nothing more to it than that.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I'm going to say Paddington, Jeremy.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Ah, but there's a bear you missed out - Winnie The Pooh.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Winnie The Pooh. Winnie The Pooh is the answer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27And I think he felt that his work on those books overshadowed
0:22:27 > 0:22:28all of his other work.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Pat, you can take the round with this question.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Louis De Berniere's novel, Captain Corelli's Mandolin,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38is set on which island?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41It's definitely a Greek island.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45It's over in the Ionians.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48We got Corfu, we've got Kefalonia.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I think it's Kefalonia.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Kefalonia is the correct answer. That's the trouble.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Give them a bit of daylight, David, but there we are.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Hope you enjoyed that. I did.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Great to have someone coming who wants to take on an Egghead
0:23:00 > 0:23:03face-to-face. Pat has won through.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04He will be in the final.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And if you both return to us, we will play that final round.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13It is time for the final round. As always, General Knowledge.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17But I'm afraid those of you who lost your heads will not be allowed
0:23:17 > 0:23:18to take part in this round.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22So, Zoey, John R and David from Hippo's Hippocampus,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24but also Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Well, here we are, John and Andrew,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33you are playing to win Hippo's Hippocampus ?4,000.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Steve, Pat, Kevin and Judith,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37you are playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44This time, they are all General Knowledge.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50You can confer. So, John, Andrew, the question is,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53are your two hippocampi able to take down these four?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55They look a bit too confident for my liking.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I think you can do it. Yes.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Do you want to go first or second? Shall we go first?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Let's go first. We'll go first. We'll get it over with.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06OK, Andrew and John, good luck.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Here we go. In the popular saying about magpies that begins,
0:24:08 > 0:24:13"One for sorrow...", what do five magpies signify?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21It's one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29So that makes it silver. It was a '70s TV show, wasn't it?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30I believe it was, yes.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34So, silver is the answer. Silver is the answer. You're right.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Yes, it was a show called Magpie that drummed it into us.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42# One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy...#
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Who presented that, Eggs?
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Susan Stranks were on it, weren't she? Susan Stranks.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Which Latin phrase means, "Time flies"?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Tempus fugit. Yes, all happy with that?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Yes. Yes.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I think somebody in Coronation Street used to say it a lot.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06It's tempus fugit. Tempus fugit is correct.
0:25:06 > 0:25:081-1. Back to you, Challengers.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12What is the only country in mainland South America to have English
0:25:12 > 0:25:14as an official language?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21It's Guyana, because that was a British colony. Yeah.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Guyana. Sorry, Guy-ana rather than Gee-ana.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Gee-ana is quite right.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Thrown me, whether I say Gee-ana or Guy-ana.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30I think I would say Gee-ana.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I think it's Guy-ana. I think you can say either.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Two to the Challengers, one to the Eggheads.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Eggheads, your question. Nico Rosberg won the 2016 Formula 1
0:25:40 > 0:25:42drivers' championship with which team?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Mercedes.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I think we're all pretty happy with that one.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Mercedes, Jeremy. Mercedes is correct.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59They are playing in a slightly too sure-footed way for my liking here,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02but they can come unstuck, I promise, Challengers.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Your third question in the final round, ?4,000 on the table.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10What was the first name of the American librarian Dewey
0:26:10 > 0:26:13who formulated the Dewey Decimal system?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20No idea on this one. I just know him as Dewey Decimal.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27What period did he live? Was it 1850s?
0:26:29 > 0:26:34I don't know. It's going to have to be a plump for which one.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38So, Theodor Dewey, Melvil Dewey, Victer Dewey?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Melvil Dewey sounds about right, does it? Hmm.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I'm tempted by Victer.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Victer? I'll go with you. OK.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Purely a plump - we'll try Victer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52OK, we had a little bit of Melvil going on there, did we?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55John, did you? Can we change our answer?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58No, I just wanted to get the trail. What was it, Eggheads?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Melvil. Melvil Dewey was the answer.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04It's all right. Came close. Two out of three.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Very hard to guess that one.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Eggheads, with this you can take the contest.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14In classical mythology, who captured the man-eating horses
0:27:14 > 0:27:18of King Diomedes of the Bistones?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Heracles? It was one of his labours. Yeah. One of his 12 labours.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28Yes. Capturing the man-eating mares of Diomedes.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Yeah, yeah. Judith, you happy with that? Yes.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Yeah? We think it was one of the labours of Heracles, Jeremy.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36So that is the answer.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39It was a labour of Heracles to capture the man-eating horses
0:27:39 > 0:27:41of King Diomedes.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46The correct answer, Eggheads, is Heracles.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50We say congratulations, you have won.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Did you know that last one? Yes. Yeah.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Yes, it was a labour of Heracles.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02I'm sorry about that. That's the way it goes.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Is Melvil Dewey well known in the quiz world?
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Not in my head. Yes. It comes up a lot?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11It's probably fair to say that it does, yes, I think so, yes.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Old Melvil. Commiserations, Hippo's Hippocampus, that's a shame.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Came close.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Well, I think you are clearly quizzers.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19There's no doubt about that.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Here you are, reigning supreme over quizland.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27We can say now it is officially a run that you're on.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It means the Challengers won't be going home with the ?4,000.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32The money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Eggheads, well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if the new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:38 > 0:28:41to defeat the Eggheads. There's going to be ?5,000
0:28:41 > 0:28:44for them to play for. Until we quiz again, goodbye.
