0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads -
0:00:12 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads. Full of knowledge, as I can see.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- I hope so.- Yeah.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are We're Doomed, from Norfolk. Now, this family team
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are all based in and around Thetford, famous for
0:00:42 > 0:00:47being the filming location for the television series Dad's Army.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Simon, I'm a university lecturer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Chris, and I'm an accountant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Brian, and I work in business banking.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Dave, and I'm an operations director.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Pete, and I'm a retired accountant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03- So, Simon and team, hello.- Hi.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06And, Simon, let's just work out the family relationships here.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09You and Chris next to you are brothers, is that right?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- That's right, yeah. And then next to Chris...?- So, Brian's my dad.- Yep.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Dave is my uncle.- Right.- And Pete is my mum's cousin's husband.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Hang on, your mum's...
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- your mum's cousin's husband? - Yep.- All right.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And the Dad's Army connection, tell us all about that.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Yeah, so Dad's Army, the outdoor scenes were filmed
0:01:29 > 0:01:31in and around Thetford and the surrounding areas.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- And the town is also home to the Dad's Army Museum.- What's it like?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- I've never been there. - It's good, it is, it's really good.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Are you going into "Don't tell him, Pike," mode, Chris?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- GERMAN ACCENT: - Your name vill also go on ze list!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45LAUGHTER
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53However, if the Challengers don't defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55that prize money goes on to the next show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Now, We're Doomed, the Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01They had a bit of an awkward moment, which we mustn't talk about,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03they then got back on track,
0:02:03 > 0:02:04so there's £2,000 to win today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Would you like to try?- Yes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Brilliant, let's crack on.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film And TV.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15One of you against either Dave, Chris, Pat, Steve or Lisa.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Right, what do we think? - We haven't discussed this!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20You haven't discussed it?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23We have other rounds, but not this one, unfortunately. Erm...
0:02:25 > 0:02:26- Make a decision.- Me?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yeah, yes, I think so. Yeah. OK.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30- Brian?- Yeah.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Is in business banking. Against which Egghead? Any one of them.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Chris.- Go for Chris?- Chris.- Chris.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Yeah, Chris, please.- Very good.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41So, Brian from We're Doomed versus
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Chris from We're Not Quite Doomed Yet.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take
0:02:47 > 0:02:49your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Chris, Film And TV, anything exciting you at the moment?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Not really, Jeremy, no.- Right.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Still watching Family Guy, "American Dad!",
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Seth MacFarlane cartoons in general.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- That's quite a lot, isn't it? - Yeah, yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Brian, Film And TV is the subject,
0:03:05 > 0:03:06would you like to go first or second?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Could I go second, please, Jeremy?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Here we go, Chris, with your question.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Film And TV. Who stars as Dave Lister in the sitcom Red Dwarf?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Another favourite programme of mine, that's Craig Charles.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Yes, it is Craig Charles, well done. Also appears on Radio 2 a bit.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Brian, your question.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Which of these TV programmes were centred on
0:03:32 > 0:03:35a group of young people who are members of a youth club?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Grange Hill was school.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Not aware of Press Gang.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Byker Grove?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Yeah, well done, Byker Grove is right, Brian.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Chris, your question.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54The cartoon show Top Cat was developed by Hanna-Barbera
0:03:54 > 0:03:57to ape the formula of which existing sitcom?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07It's The Phil Silvers Show, otherwise known as Sergeant Bilko.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10What's the connection here?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Well, he's a wisecracking, smart-aleck leader of a gang.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16There is actually a bit of a carry-over
0:04:16 > 0:04:19from The Phil Silvers Show, insomuch as the actor
0:04:19 > 0:04:21who played Duane Doberman in Bilko
0:04:21 > 0:04:23actually did the voice of Benny the Ball.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Wow, the stuff you know, Chris.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- It would be funny if it was the wrong answer, wouldn't it?- It would.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30It is correct, though, The Phil Silvers Show it is.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Brian, here's your question.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Which actress's career has included starring roles in the films
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Swing Shift, Protocol and There's A Girl In My Soup?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Erm...
0:04:48 > 0:04:50It's not Bette Midler.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I don't think it's Diane Keaton. So I'll have to say Goldie Hawn.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Yeah, I love the way you eliminate.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59It's absolutely right, well done, Goldie Hawn it is.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So 2-2. Pretty tight, pretty tense.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Chris, the Oliver Stone film Natural Born Killers is based on
0:05:07 > 0:05:09an original screenplay by which other film-maker?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Ah, Natural Born Killers.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Hmm.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Martin Scorsese tends to do mob-based things,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28it wasn't a mob-based story.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Brian De Palma gets into more sort of semi-supernatural territory.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36So Natural Born Killers, I would suspect,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39was originally written by Quentin Tarantino.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Well done, Quentin Tarantino it is.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43He's got three out of three, Brian,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46you've got to get this right to stay in.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49What is the name of Woody Allen's character in the film Annie Hall?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Erm...
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Struggling now.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Alvy Singer?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I'll go for, with no logic at all, Miles Monroe.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09The answer is Alvy Singer.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11So sorry, Brian, you've been knocked out,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14just pipped at the post there by Chris, who got three out of three.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Chris, you're in the final round, well done.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Difficult start for our Challengers,
0:06:18 > 0:06:19but plenty of time to make up the gap.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Please rejoin your teams.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25There's a great fact about Pike in Dad's Army,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27just while we're on the subject of Dad's Army.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32He used to wear a scarf in the actual sitcom.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34In the end credits, where he's walking along,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36he's not wearing the scarf, he's wearing something else.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Anyone know what it is?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39We should know...
0:06:39 > 0:06:41They left the scarf at the hotel.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43He's wearing a blue tea towel.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Because they left the scarf.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50So, We're Doomed have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53The Eggheads have not lost any yet.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57There they are, all five, let's see if we can crack an Egg here, guys.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59The next subject for you is Arts And Books.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Oh, dear!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- That's going to be you, Pete, surely?- Yeah, OK.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Who do you want to play against?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Who's it going to be? - I'll do that, Jeremy.- OK, Pete.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10And I'll take on Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12All right, so Pete, who's - I've got it now -
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Simon and Chris' mum's cousin's husband.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I'm there with it! I've worked it out.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20He's taking on Tremendous Knowledge Dave, from the Eggheads.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Please, take your positions, gentlemen.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26So the Challengers are called We're Doomed, and, Dave, I was
0:07:26 > 0:07:29thinking we should just remember where that phrase comes from.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Do you remember the character?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Frazer, isn't it? - Yeah, it's Private Frazer.- Yes.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- SCOTTISH ACCENT:- We're Doomed!- Or Frazier, maybe?- No, Frazer.- Frazer?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Frazer, definitely. John Laurie played the character.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42John Laurie, brilliant, yeah!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I guess you would have known that, Pete?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Having gone to the museum quite recently, yes.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Arts And Books, and would you like to go first or second?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Here we go.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59What is the name of the gentleman adventurer who is the protagonist
0:07:59 > 0:08:03of the Jules Verne novel Around The World In 80 Days?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Right, I haven't heard of Humbert Humbert.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Jean Valjean, I think, sounds like from Les Miserables.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I'll go for Phileas Fogg.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Phileas Fogg is completely right, well done, Pete.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24And, Dave, can you help us with Humbert Humbert?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I thought it was Lolita.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov? - Yes, yeah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32OK, your question, Tremendous Knowledge Dave -
0:08:32 > 0:08:36what French phrase is commonly used to denote artists
0:08:36 > 0:08:39who are at the forefront of what they do?
0:08:44 > 0:08:49The only one that I associate with that type of thing is avant-garde.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Avant-garde is quite right.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Pete, back to you. 1-1.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57In which decade did Ted Hughes become poet laureate?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I think 1990s would be too late.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10And I recall possibly he was in the 1970s.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13So my answer's 1970s.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Later, actually.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- The '80s.- Right, OK.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Dave.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Inspector Japp appears in several crime novels by which writer?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Japp? Never heard of it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Ian Rankin, I just assume with Rebus.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yeah, it makes sense, I'm going to rule out Raymond Chandler,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41simply on the fact it's an inspector.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I don't think there's many inspectors in American novels.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Being foolish there.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I'm going to go Agatha Christie, just on the percentage.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54But I've not heard of it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Let's see if Lisa knows. Lisa?- Yeah, pops up in Poirot novels a lot.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00So, yes, it's Agatha Christie, Dave. Well done.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Good bit of logic.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06So, two to the Eggheads, one to the Challenger.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08You've got to get this one right now, Pete.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12For Esme, With Love And Squalor is a short story published
0:10:12 > 0:10:16in a 1953 collection entitled Nine Stories by which American writer?
0:10:22 > 0:10:27I know JD Salinger wrote Catcher In The Rye in the early '50s,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29if I'm not mistaken.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33I don't know much about Norman Mailer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Henry Miller was quite prolific.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41I know Salinger did actually do short stories,
0:10:41 > 0:10:42so I'll go JD Salinger.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Well played, it's right, JD Salinger.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Dave, over to you, you can win the round with this question.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Which island is one of the settings of Shakespeare's play Othello?
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Yeah, more in Venice, but I think it's Cyprus.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Your answer is Cyprus for Othello.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07If you've got it right, you're in the final, Dave.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Well played, Cyprus it is. Three out of three. Sorry, Pete.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Well played, Dave.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13They're getting back on track, these Eggheads, they're quite formidable.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15And, Pete, you've been knocked out.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Come back to us and rejoin your team-mates.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19So, as it stands,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22We're Doomed have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27And the next subject for you, Challengers, is Sport.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Who would like Sport?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Genius?- Yeah, I think that's pretty obvious.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- That'd be me, Jeremy. - OK, it's going to be Chris.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Accountant. Against Pat or Steve or Lisa.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Lisa?- Lisa?- Lisa.- Lisa.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Yep, Lisa, please, Jeremy. - Very good.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48So, Chris, from We're Doomed.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- How's that, Lisa, good? - Erm, not unanticipated.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- You were thinking it was heading your way?- Yeah, pretty much.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Both of you, please go to our Question Room now.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Good luck here, Chris.- Thank you.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04As we're on a Dad's Army theme,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I can tell you that the Eggheads don't like it up 'em.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12So, Sport, and would you like to go first or second?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Here's your first question. Good luck.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21In which sport might one be most likely to make a move
0:12:21 > 0:12:23known as a body check?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I'll go straight in for ice hockey, please, Jeremy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yeah, I was thinking quizzing was going to be in there,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35but ice hockey's the right answer.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Lisa, which of the following
0:12:38 > 0:12:41was the British racing driver James Hunt's nickname?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47It was slightly unfair, really,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51because he developed an early reputation for recklessness,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53got in a few accidents,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56and got stuck with Hunt The Shunt for the rest of his career.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- So, yes, it was The Shunt. - It was indeed The Shunt.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Back to you, Chris.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04How many Epsom Derby winners did Lester Piggott ride in his career?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Well.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Although I follow horse racing a little bit...
0:13:16 > 0:13:17..I don't know.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- I shall go down the middle with six, please, Jeremy.- Six.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Let's just see, Eggheads?- Nine.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Nine, says Tremendous Knowledge Dave and he's right,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30nine is the answer, Chris. Sorry.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31HE SIGHS
0:13:31 > 0:13:36So, Lisa has a chance to take the lead against We're Doomed.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Chris Read of Nottinghamshire performed which role, Lisa,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41for the England cricket team?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48See, I can just about, just about, if I really try,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51stay up to date with modern cricket.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55And then you say "performed", which means historical cricket,
0:13:55 > 0:13:56where I haven't got a chance.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00And it's not even as if he's Yorkshire.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Which makes life much harder.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Nottinghamshire...
0:14:05 > 0:14:07No, can't think... Ugh!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09This is horrible.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Where do I go?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Poor Chris is sitting there,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16banging his head against things, going, "Why didn't I get this?"
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- Let's say he was a fast bowler. - Fast bowler.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Now, Chris, you will know the answer to this?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I do, yes, he was a wicketkeeper, and still is, for Notts.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Yeah, wicketkeeper is the answer, Lisa.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32So, level.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Third question to you, Chris.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Antonio is the middle name of which snooker world champion?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Tough question, tough question.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Stephen Antonio Hendry?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52John Antonio Higgins.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Ronnie...
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I'm going to take Ronnie O'Sullivan out of the picture.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Let's go Stephen Hendry. - Yeah, I can see why,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Ronnie O'Sullivan, it would be inconvenient, wouldn't it?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Because it would be Antonio O'Sullivan. A double O.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15I think your team-mates know, do you?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17We'd guess at Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19We might have gone for Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21You would have gone for Ronnie O'Sullivan,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23and that is the right answer.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Chris, let's see. If Lisa gets this right, she's in the final round.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29The American runner Gwen Torrence
0:15:29 > 0:15:34won her last Olympic gold medal at the 1996 Games in which event?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Aw, man.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I can see her in me head. Big, powerful lady.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Lots and lots of hair, big ponytail.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Now, my first thought before it came up was that she was a 400 runner.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59The problem is, of course, if she won more than one,
0:15:59 > 0:16:04then the relay medals come last in the events order.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07So, technically she would have won it in the relay.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's difficult, if you're a talented sprinter
0:16:10 > 0:16:12you'd be across all the events.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17No, I could sit here all day and not have
0:16:17 > 0:16:21a better basis for narrowing it down than first instinct.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22I will try 400m.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Relay is the answer, the 4x100m.- Aargh!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So you just missed your chance of going straight through to the
0:16:29 > 0:16:31final there. We go to Sudden Death.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well done, Chris, you're still in it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35It gets a bit harder now, OK?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I don't give you different options.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40In which decade was Roger Federer born?
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Well, he's going to have to be mid-30s...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Which, obviously,
0:16:51 > 0:16:56would make him either going to be late '70s or early '80s.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I'm going to go with the '80s, Jeremy.
0:17:03 > 0:17:041980s is right.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07And your logic was great, cos it is actually '81,
0:17:07 > 0:17:08so it's right on the cusp.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Yeah, it was very close. - That's tricky.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Well done.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13OK, Lisa.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Who was Rubens Barrichello's team-mate while driving for
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Ferrari from 2000 to 2005?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Rubens Barrichello's team-mate at Ferrari from 2000 to 2005?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Yes.- When poor old Rubens Barrichello couldn't get
0:17:25 > 0:17:26a look-in at anything despite the fact
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Ferrari were winning everything in sight?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30That would be Michael Schumacher.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Michael Schumacher is the right answer.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Sudden Death. Back to you, Chris.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35At the Winter Olympics,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38what is the shortest distance over which
0:17:38 > 0:17:41a short-track speed-skating race is run?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46That's probably once around the track.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48How far is a track?
0:17:48 > 0:17:53Is it going to be 400m? That's probably too far, thinking about it.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Um...
0:17:54 > 0:17:58I am going to go, Jeremy, 200m.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01It's 500m.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02OK.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I guess they go very, very fast.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06HE CHUCKLES
0:18:06 > 0:18:09So, Lisa, you can take the round now with this answer.
0:18:09 > 0:18:15Which male British tennis player won the boys 12 years and under
0:18:15 > 0:18:18competition of the Junior Orange Bowl in Florida
0:18:18 > 0:18:20in 1999?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22In Florida.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Didn't necessarily have to be training there,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I guess, at the time.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32The one you're going to put in the frame on the dates,
0:18:32 > 0:18:36cos he was born '87, is Sir Andrew Murray.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Let me just have a little think in case it is anybody else.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It would be really cruel if it was Jamie, wouldn't it?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44No, Jamie is older.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Jamie's older. OK, so, hang on. No, that can't work.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50So I will go for Andy Murray.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- Andy Murray is the right answer. - Oh, get in!
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Well done, you've won the round with Andy Murray there, Lisa.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Chris, you were toe-to-toe, you did really well,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01but she has won through. She will be in the final and you won't.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04One more round before the final, let's play it.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08So, Challengers, you have lost three brains,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11but you know what I'm going to say.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Don't panic. THEY LAUGH
0:19:13 > 0:19:16As it stands, We're Doomed have lost these three brains.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18The Eggheads are still all sitting there.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20This is the time to take one of them out. OK?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22The subject for you is Geography.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Who wants this?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25That would be me.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28OK, Dave, operations director, against which Egghead?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30You've only got two left, Steve and Pat.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Pat?- Steve.- Well, who do you reckon?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Steve.- Do you?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36That's what I would say, yeah.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37I'll take on Steve, Jeremy.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40You are weighing that up very carefully, I can tell.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43OK, Dave from We're Doomed plays Steve from the Eggheads
0:19:43 > 0:19:45on Geography.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Please take your positions.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Dave, you have done some travelling, I know.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I have, yes. Yeah, I've been lucky in that respect.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Tell us the most fascinating place you have been to.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Probably the Great Barrier Reef.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Would you like to go first or second on Geography?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04And here we go. Good luck.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Grangemouth in East Stirlingshire is home to one of the biggest
0:20:08 > 0:20:10examples of what in Europe?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16That's not a good start.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I don't think it's airport.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Probably not a tower block, so I'll go for oil refinery.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27You're quite right, oil refinery.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Steve, which of these island groups
0:20:29 > 0:20:33lies about 25 miles off the coast of Cornwall?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Well, if my UK geography bears up, it must be Isles of Scilly.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Yes, it is the Isles of Scilly.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Cracking on here.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Geography we're on. Back to you, Dave.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Which of these rivers flows out into the Bristol Channel?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56That's the Severn.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58All right, the River Severn is right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01So, our Challenger takes the lead.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Steve, to catch up, your question.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Tepui is the name for the kind of tabletop mountains that are
0:21:07 > 0:21:09found on which continent?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Can you spell tepui for me, please?- Of course. T-E-P-U-I.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I was thinking, to start with, it sounded a bit Maori-like,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22an Aborigine word, but now I'm not too sure.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Tepui.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I suppose you could... In South America or Africa.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I'll go with my first thought, which was Australia.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35But I'm not confident.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Let's see if Lisa knows.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- SHE CHUCKLES - Do you know what?
0:21:38 > 0:21:39This time, I don't think it is Australia,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42cos linguistically, I would've gone South America.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- Yeah, Lisa is right, South America is the answer.- Right.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48A rare error from Steve. Hm. Doesn't happen very often, Dave,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50watching him play.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51This is the time to take advantage.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Get this right, you're in the final, and maybe it starts to turn.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58The 13km-long Fox Glacier
0:21:58 > 0:22:01is located in which country?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Fox is just F-O-X.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- HE SIGHS - Don't know.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13All I can go by is...
0:22:14 > 0:22:19..the fact its name is Fox.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I would tend to go for New Zealand.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Again, we are down that part of the world, aren't we?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26If it's right, you are in the final.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30The answer is New Zealand. Well done, Dave!
0:22:30 > 0:22:33No way back for our Egghead there, Steve. There we go.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37On a question which featured Australia.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39So, Dave, maybe things are turning now.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Come back to us and we will play the final round.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Bad luck, Steve. I think that's the first time you've lost in Geography.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'm sure it won't be the last.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51And this is what we have being playing towards.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52It's time for our final round.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54As always, it's General Knowledge,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:57 > 0:22:58won't be allowed to take part
0:22:58 > 0:23:01in this round. So that is Chris, Brian and Pete
0:23:01 > 0:23:05from We're Doomed and Steve from the Eggheads. Let's see who's doomed.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06But you need to leave the studio.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Simon and Dave, you are playing to win We're Doomed £2,000.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Lisa, Pat, Chris and Dave, you are playing for something that
0:23:15 > 0:23:17money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24They're all general knowledge and, gentlemen, you can confer.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27So, Simon and Dave, We're Doomed, the question is,
0:23:27 > 0:23:32are your two brains powerful enough to doom these four over here?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Playing for £2,000, your first question.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44What is the French name for the month of March?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50- Mars, it's Mars.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- OK, I will settle for your decision. - Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Mars.- Mars is right.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55M-A-R-S.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Eggheads,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01fleapit is a term most commonly applied to an old,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03rundown example of which of these?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Cinema.- Cinema? Yeah?- Cinema.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11That's a cinema.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12It is a cinema.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Your question, Challengers.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Alexandra Mary are the middle names of which member of the royal family?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- BOTH:- Alexandra Mary.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30So... Elizabeth Alexandra Mary,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Anne Alexandra Mary or...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36The Duchess of Cornwall is Kate Middleton, isn't it?
0:24:38 > 0:24:39I don't know.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I don't think it's very likely to be
0:24:41 > 0:24:42the Duchess of Cornwall.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45No, the Duchess of Cornwall is Camilla Parker Bowles, isn't it?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Alexandra Mary...
0:24:48 > 0:24:50My instinct is the Princess Royal.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Same as mine.- Was it?- Yeah.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54We both got that instinct.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- We're probably both wrong.- Yeah.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- It doesn't matter, we both feel the same. Good, go for it.- Yeah?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00As you can probably gather,
0:25:00 > 0:25:01we're not very sure,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05but we will go with the Princess Royal, please.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06So, the Princess Royal
0:25:06 > 0:25:08is your answer, Princess Anne.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Let's just check. Eggheads? Is that right or not?
0:25:10 > 0:25:11It's the Queen.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- The Queen herself!- Mm-hm.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15The Queen.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Wow.- I would have struggled with that too.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- They don't often mention them. - We feel better.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Eggheads, your question,
0:25:22 > 0:25:23to take the lead.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25In Greek mythology, what was Talos,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28the giant that protected the island of Crete, made from?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Yeah, it was bronze.- Bronze? OK.- Man of bronze.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Man of bronze?- Yeah. - All right. OK.- Yeah.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40He popped up in the Ray Harryhausen film
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Jason And The Argonauts,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43and he was made of bronze.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Bronze is correct.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46So the Eggheads are ahead.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49You've got to get this one right to stay in, guys.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51There's no two ways about it.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53The village of Adlestrop,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56immortalised in a poem by Edward Thomas,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58is in which traditional English county?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Obviously, we don't know. We're going to have to...
0:26:08 > 0:26:09- An educated guess.- Hm.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Do you know anything about Edward Thomas?- No.- No.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Neither do I.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17It doesn't sound Kentish, does it?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- No.- Don't let me put you off. - No, no, no. Don't. No.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I'd have been between Derbyshire and Gloucestershire.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Yeah, which one would you have gone for?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I think it sounds more Gloucestershire, West Country.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- But I don't know.- Well...
0:26:32 > 0:26:33What is your gut feeling?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I might have heard of it if it was in Derbyshire.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- It's a little bit closer. - Oh, yeah, that's true.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39It could still be Derbyshire.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I've not really explored Derbyshire properly. But...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Gloucestershire?- Yeah.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45- Let's go for it.- Yeah?
0:26:45 > 0:26:46- Let's go for it.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Again, we're not sure.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51But we will take a wild punt
0:26:51 > 0:26:53at Gloucestershire,
0:26:53 > 0:26:54please, Jeremy.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Eggheads, are they right?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Yep.- You're right. It is Gloucestershire, well done.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00That was very well played, actually.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03You stayed in the contest with that answer of Gloucestershire.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05But the Eggheads can end it now.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08The actress Helen Bonham Carter is the great-granddaughter
0:27:08 > 0:27:10of which British prime minister?
0:27:10 > 0:27:11(Herbert Asquith.)
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Chris, you're right. Yeah, it's Asquith.- Asquith?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Yeah, Herbert Asquith. - Yeah, yeah.- Without question.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20We think that's Herbert Asquith.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24You don't seem to be in any doubt, Eggheads.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26That's always worrying when that's the case.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29If the answer is right, the contest is over,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31you would have got three out of three in the final round.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Helen Bonham Carter is the great-granddaughter of
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Herbert Asquith.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- The Queen's middle names.- Wow.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Well, I agree. I didn't know that.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- That's not something we conjure with very often.- No.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53But then they all knew it because...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Well, yeah, it's after her grandmother and great-grandmother.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Of course.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Ah.- Don't rub it in or anything, Chris, will you?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Don't make it sound obvious. - Thanks for that, Chris(!)
0:28:01 > 0:28:02- LISA:- It's very unfair -
0:28:02 > 0:28:05she's the only woman in the world that barely even needs a first name
0:28:05 > 0:28:06and we're asking about the other ones.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Oh, commiserations, We're Doomed, you played brilliantly,
0:28:09 > 0:28:10brought a great team name to us
0:28:10 > 0:28:12and a bit of Thetford history as well.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15The Eggheads are back on track, no doubt about that.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18They've done what comes naturally to them, most of the time.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You rein supreme over quiz land, Eggs,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24so it does mean the Challengers don't go home with the £2,000.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Therefore, we roll that money over to our next exciting show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, are you starting to be unbeatable?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers can come
0:28:33 > 0:28:37in the studio and bring them down. £3,000 will be on the table.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Until we play again, goodbye.
