0:00:04 > 0:00:08These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32You might recognise them,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows,
0:00:35 > 0:00:36they are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41and taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:41 > 0:00:44are the Cross Foxes from Prestatyn.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Team captain Les in the landlord and quiz master at the Cross Foxes pub,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and the rest of the team is made up of some of his regulars.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Les, I'm 54 and I'm a publican.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Tim, I'm 49 and I'm a travel agent.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Bob, I'm 43 and I'm a DJ.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm David, I'm 72 and I'm a retired engineer.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Mark, I'm 45, currently unemployed.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14So welcome, Cross Foxes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Hello Jeremy.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Les, you've been in pubs all your life?- Yes, over 35 years, yes.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Am I looking here at the best quiz players that come through your pub?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Very possible, yes, Jeremy. We'll see later.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30OK, well I wish you all the best playing the Eggheads.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42So, Cross Foxes, the challengers won the last game,
0:01:42 > 0:01:43proving it can be done,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47that means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49The first head to head battle
0:01:49 > 0:01:52will be on the subject of film and television.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Challengers, which one of you wants to play,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57and which Egghead do you want to play against?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59It's not me, I know that much.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Chris?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Yeah?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Yep.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05That'll be, Bob's taking it on Jeremy.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Who are you going to play?- Chris.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Chris, OK. Bob from the Cross Foxes versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:02:15 > 0:02:18in the Question Room.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Bob, we're doing multiple choice questions, film and television,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26you get to choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Right, I'm under orders to go first please.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34You're under orders, are you?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35I am indeed, yes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Bob, what role did Ian McCaskill perform on TV
0:02:38 > 0:02:41during the 1980s and 1990s?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Was he a newsreader, a chef or a weather presenter?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I remember this, I think,
0:02:49 > 0:02:54because did he not predict that we were going to have a small storm
0:02:54 > 0:02:56when we had the massive hurricane?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57He was a weather presenter.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Bang on, it was a weather presenter,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03although not the man who predicted the storm that wasn't.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- It was Michael Fish. - That was Mr Fish.- That's right.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Anyway, point to you.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13Chris, in which 1975 film did Roy Scheider play the role
0:03:13 > 0:03:16of police chief Martin Brody?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Taxi Driver, Rocky or Jaws?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22He's the police chief in Jaws.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24He is indeed, with the famous line?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28"I think we're gonna need a bigger boat!"
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- "You're gonna need a bigger boat" or something.- Yeah.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Ad-libbed that line apparently.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33One point apiece.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Question two for you, Bob.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Richard Briers played Martin Bryce in which 1980s TV sitcom?
0:03:39 > 0:03:46The Good Life, Ever Decreasing Circles or Monarch of the Glen?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50That's a difficult one, because I believe he's been in all of those,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54but I think The Good Life is '70s,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Monarch of the Glen I've only seen briefly,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01so I'll plump for Ever Decreasing Circles.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Quite right Bob, well done.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Well done, Bob.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Chris, which Academy Award-winning actress wrote the screenplay
0:04:11 > 0:04:14to the 1995 film Sense and Sensibility?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson or Gwyneth Paltrow?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Well, I don't think Kate Winslet's ever written anything,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26and I think Gwyneth Paltrow was too busy,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29but Emma Thompson has written scripts in her time,
0:04:29 > 0:04:30so I'll say Emma Thompson.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Spot on, well done!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Two points each, your third multiple-choice question, Bob.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Which actor narrated the 1970s' historical documentary,
0:04:41 > 0:04:42The World at War?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Laurence Olivier, Peter O'Toole or Richard Harris?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Phew, I think they've all narrated things at one time or another.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Erm...
0:04:53 > 0:04:57But I'll go for Laurence Olivier.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Was that a guess?
0:04:58 > 0:04:59It is.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- It's a good one, you've got it. - Well done, Bobby!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05So pressure on Chris now.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08If you don't get this, you're out of the final round.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Here's your question,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12what was the name of the television series made by Edgar Reitz
0:05:12 > 0:05:14which charted the lives of ordinary Germans
0:05:14 > 0:05:18from 1918 to the turn of the new century?
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Was it Heimat, Hermann or Heidelberg?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26That was Heimat.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28It was indeed, how do you know that?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I saw bits of it actually,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35because Heimat just means home environment, home town.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38You're right, three points apiece to the Eggheads and challengers,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42scores level so we now go on to Sudden Death,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44and just to make it that bit harder,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47these questions will not be multiple choice. So Bob, are you ready?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48I am.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Let's see what comes up now.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Which actress played Magz in the TV series Saxondale
0:05:55 > 0:06:00and Myfanwy, the barmaid in the Little Britain Daffyd sketches?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Ruth Madoc?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Close, it was Ruth Jones.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So Chris, for the round,
0:06:07 > 0:06:08which Hollywood actress
0:06:08 > 0:06:12often credited with being the first to throw a custard pie onscreen
0:06:12 > 0:06:16is the subject of the Jerry Herman musical Mack and Mabel?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19That is Mabel Normand.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Quite right, Mabel Normand.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Roughly what year are we talking about there?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Oh, early '20s I would think, going way back certainly.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Well done, Chris. Bob, you were beaten by our Eggheads,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34so as a result you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Would you both please come back and join your teams.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The next subject is history.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Who from our challengers would like to play in this round,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52and who would you like to play?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- I'll take it.- Off you trot, David. - I'll take it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Who are you going to challenge? - Kevin?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Kevin, I think I'll try, yes.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- I think I heard Kevin? - Kevin please, Jeremy.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06So David from the Cross Foxes versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Kevin, your teammates are telling me you've never lost in this category,
0:07:17 > 0:07:22but not only that, you've never even got a single question wrong in this category.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Can that be true?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It's true, but there's always a first time.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27It's a long time since I've done it.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30David, don't feel intimidated here!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32You're not, are you?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Very much so, yes.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35I wish you well,
0:07:35 > 0:07:39and David, you can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Which would you like? - The first set, please, Jeremy.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50David, people in the Stone Age typically used tools and weapons
0:07:50 > 0:07:51made of which material?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Gold, flint or copper?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Well, it would have been later
0:07:56 > 0:07:59when they were using metals as a material,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03so that probably rules out copper, and to a certain extent gold,
0:08:03 > 0:08:07but I know there's a local site where they've got a lot of flint axes,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and so my answer would be flint.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Flint is correct, well done.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Kevin, in which year did Robert Peel set up
0:08:18 > 0:08:19the Metropolitan Police Force in London?
0:08:19 > 0:08:25Was it 1429, 1629 or 1829?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29It was early 19th century, Jeremy, it's 1829.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Correct, it was. Bang on.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35But that was not the question to end your winning run in History.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36No.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37See if we can find it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40David, in September 1944,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Allied forces were defeated in which battle of World War II?
0:08:43 > 0:08:48The Battle of Arnhem, the Battle of El Alamein
0:08:48 > 0:08:50or the Battle of the Bulge?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57I suspect it was too late for Alamein,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00and possibly Arnhem was earlier,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04but I think there was a setback in the campaign
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and I think it was the Battle of the Bulge.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11So your answer is Battle of the Bulge?
0:09:11 > 0:09:16I'm sorry David, that's the wrong answer. It's the Battle of Arnhem.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Advantage to the Eggheads.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Kevin, in 1267 Henry III officially acknowledged which man
0:09:24 > 0:09:28as the Overlord and Prince of Wales?
0:09:28 > 0:09:34Hereward the Wake, Owain Glyndower or Llywelyn Ap Gruffydd?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It was -
0:09:37 > 0:09:40let's have a go - Llywelyn Ap Gruffydd,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44who lasted for about another 15 years
0:09:44 > 0:09:46and then was killed, I believe?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Well done, Kevin, you're right, it was the person you just referred to.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Well, you could do the pronunciation on this side.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59So third question, and David, you need this.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Which London market was the site of the execution of William Wallace in 1305?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Covent Garden, Smithfield or Billingsgate?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Mmm, not very sure of this.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Smithfield being a meat market,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Billingsgate is a fish market.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I think I'll go for Covent Garden...
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Covent Garden.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31That's the wrong answer, David, I'm sorry to say,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33it was actually Smithfield.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Kevin, would you have got Smithfield?- Yes, I would.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Why was he executed?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- He'd annoyed Edward I, basically. - That's all you need to do?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45He was one of the leaders of the Scottish independence movement,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49but eventually he was captured, brought to London
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and suffered a very lengthy and nasty execution as an example to others.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58David, as you can tell, you are up against a history ace here!
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Commiserations to you. Well done, Kevin.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02David, you were beaten by our Eggheads,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06so you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Both of you please now come back to the studio.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12As it stands, the challengers have lost
0:11:12 > 0:11:14two brains from the final round,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16while the Eggheads have lost none.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17The next subject is Sport.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Who from the challengers will be playing?
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Who would you like to take on?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23There's only three of us left.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26It's cut and dried, you're doing it, aren't you?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Obviously can't be Kevin or Chris. - Who do you want?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Tim have a go at sport. Tim's going to do it.- All right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34And you're going to take on who?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I think because of our colours, I'll take Judith on,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39because we have the same colour on.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- We clash, I wouldn't... I think we clash.- Do you?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43It's up to you, that's the thing,
0:11:43 > 0:11:48so Tim from the Cross Foxes against Judith from the Eggheads,
0:11:48 > 0:11:52please go to the Question Room to ensure there's no conferring.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Tim, you get to choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I would like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06What name is given in gymnastics
0:12:06 > 0:12:10to a circular sideways handspring with the arms and legs extended?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Is it a handstand, a cartwheel or a flyaway?
0:12:16 > 0:12:23With the arms and legs extended would imply cartwheel.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's not a handstand.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I will go for cartwheel if I may, Jeremy.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Yep, no trick in the question, absolutely right, cartwheel.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Judith, which former world darts champion
0:12:37 > 0:12:39was known as the Crafty Cockney?
0:12:39 > 0:12:44Was it John Lowe, Phil Taylor or Eric Bristow?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I think it's Eric Bristow.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49He's the Crafty Cockney.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Eric Bristow is the Crafty Cockney indeed. One point apiece.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Back to you, Tim.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59The Finn, Tommy Makkinen, was a four-time world champion
0:12:59 > 0:13:01in which sport in the 1990s?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Squash, rallying or canoeing?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I'm not 100% sure on this, Jeremy,
0:13:07 > 0:13:13but I really think I should dispel squash.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16My two sons both play squash for the country,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19so it would be, if I get this wrong, I'm in trouble.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Um...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Canoeing, I think I can dispel as well,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28because I'm pretty sure he's a rally driver.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- That's your answer? - So rallying is my answer.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36He is indeed a rally driver. Well done!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39And your two sons play international squash?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43They both are ranked in the top ten in Wales in their age category, yes.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Gosh!- Wow!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47We'll see if a squash question comes up.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- You can't get it wrong if it does. - Hopefully not.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Judith, which rugby union player went on five tours
0:13:52 > 0:13:58with the British and Irish Lions playing in a record 17 test matches?
0:13:58 > 0:14:04Willie John McBride, Gavin Hastings or JPR Williams?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I don't quite know... Does that... You can't tell me, can you?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12British and Irish Lions, does that mean the whole of Great Britain?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17You know that I can only put the question, you're being very naughty!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I'm not naughty, because I don't actually expect an answer.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So you were just asking a rhetorical question?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26It's a rhetorical question, it's wasting time while I think.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31I think it's either Willie John McBride or JPR Williams.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34But JPR Williams is Welsh, isn't he?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36That was why I asked the question out loud.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I think I'm gonna say Willie John McBride, praying!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Praying?- Yes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Your prayer has been answered!
0:14:44 > 0:14:45- Has it?- Yes!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Oh, God is good!- You're right! Well done. Two points each.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Tim, this is harder than you might have thought it was gonna be!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Cracking the Egghead!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57For which cricket club did Sir Len Hutton play
0:14:57 > 0:14:59for his entire professional career?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Surrey, Yorkshire or Essex?
0:15:04 > 0:15:09It's a difficult one again.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Again I think at this stage I will dispel Essex,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18and concentrate on Yorkshire and Surrey.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Um...
0:15:19 > 0:15:24I think I will plump for Yorkshire,
0:15:24 > 0:15:29because they seem to have a lot more loyalty amongst their players,
0:15:29 > 0:15:34certainly in this day and age, maybe even also when Len Hutton was around.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- So Yorkshire's your answer? - I will go for Yorkshire.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39David looks pleased about that. You are?
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Yes.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Because you know it's right?- Yes. - And it is.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Well done, Tim, three points.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Judith, if you get this wrong,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52bang, you're gone.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Which football team won the first English league title in 1889?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Fulham, Preston North End or Aston Villa?
0:16:02 > 0:16:041889?
0:16:04 > 0:16:061889.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Well, I don't think it was Fulham.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I have read this, because I once read a short and humorous book
0:16:13 > 0:16:16about the history of football, trying to get into my head.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Was it very funny?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Not terribly.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24I'm going to say Aston Villa.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Bang go the Eggheads' heads on the table.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Well, CJ's head has not completely hit the table, but it was close.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Oh, no!
0:16:32 > 0:16:34You're wrong, it was Preston North End.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Well done, Tim. Well done!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40You've lifted your team spirits here!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43You won on your great subject of sport, you took on an Egghead,
0:16:43 > 0:16:47you emerged triumphant, good news for our challengers, the Cross Foxes,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50because it means Tim can play in today's final round.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52So do both come back and rejoin us here.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58So as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02whilst the Eggheads have lost one brain... Judith.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The last subject is geography.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Which of you challengers wants to take that on,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09and against which Egghead?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Mark, are you OK to play?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's either Les or Mark.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Mark's doing it, Jeremy, and he'd like to take CJ on, please.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20So it is Mark from the Cross Foxes
0:17:20 > 0:17:23versus CJ from the Eggheads on geography.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33So Mark, good luck, three questions on geography, multiple choice,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36and Mark, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Well, as per the rest of the team, I think I'm going first.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45The cathedral city of Canterbury is in which English county?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Is it Hampshire, Kent or West Sussex?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Funny enough that, because last week I was down in Kent,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54strangely enough,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57and I did visit the cathedral in Canterbury,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59so Kent's my answer.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02And Kent is quite right. Well done.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08What's the capital of Peru, CJ?
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Lima, Caracas or Bogota?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16In the English language, there are only three countries in the world
0:18:16 > 0:18:20where the name of the country has four letters
0:18:20 > 0:18:22and the name of the capital has four letters.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25You have Togo,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27whose capital is Lome,
0:18:27 > 0:18:31you have Fiji, whose capital is Suva,
0:18:31 > 0:18:35and you have Lima, whose capital is the capital of Peru.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Peru, whose capital is Lima, you're quite right,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41and that was actually fascinating. Thank you!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Mark, your second question, here we go.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47What is the capital of the American state of Delaware?
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Mark, is it Portsmouth, Dover or Harwich?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I think, looking at all of them, they're all a strong possibility,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57but somewhere in the back of my mind,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I don't know where it comes from, I think it's Dover.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07The back of your mind is doing well this afternoon, it is Dover.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14CJ, in which country of the UK are the Sperrin Mountains located?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Northern Ireland, Scotland or England?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I am no good at British geography.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I would have struggled with the Canterbury question.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Northern Ireland, Scotland or England?
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Which is it, CJ?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34I have absolutely no idea. They're in Northern Ireland.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38You're absolutely right. Well done.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Ooh, Mark!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43You thought he was off the edge off the cliff!
0:19:43 > 0:19:46But he had one fingernail there.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Your third question, Mark,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Occitania is an ancient geographical area
0:19:53 > 0:19:55comprising the southern part of which country?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Germany, France or Hungary?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Wow!
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Er...
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I've got to think my way round this one somehow.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Occitania...
0:20:07 > 0:20:11I'm looking at any of them.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Occitania...
0:20:15 > 0:20:20I don't think it's got any relevance to Germany.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22France or Hungary...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I'm gonna have a stab at France.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30France is my answer.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- France is your answer. Any Eggheads know this?- It's France.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- The Pays d'Oc. - Judith, you live in France?
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Yep, it's the Pays d'Oc.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40The Pays d'Oc, you're right, Mark, it's France.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Well done!
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Playing a blinder here!
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Pressure back on you, CJ.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51The Molucca Islands are a part of which country?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Indonesia, Cuba or Chile?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'm hoping...
0:20:58 > 0:21:01He said and then changed his mind.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I'm hoping they're the ones near Malaysia.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I'm wondering if I'm confusing those with the Malaccas,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11or if it's all the same thing.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'm going to go with Indonesia.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16You're going with Indonesia?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Possibly, I'm just confusing myself with something else there.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23But you're right, CJ, it is Indonesia.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Wobbling, but still on his bicycle.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30OK, after three questions each, the scores are level.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32You've both got them all right, so we go to Sudden Death.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Just to make it that bit harder,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37these questions are not multiple choice.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Here we go, Mark, good luck.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Which British cathedral city stands by the Menai Strait,
0:21:43 > 0:21:44opposite the Island of Anglesey?
0:21:44 > 0:21:48These questions are loaded for us in North Wales!
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- I'm afraid it's Bangor, I think. - Don't be afraid, you're right.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58The luck of that draw, you're getting some local questions here.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04CJ, the Babine Mountains are an area of natural beauty
0:22:04 > 0:22:07in which country?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09This I do not know.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I have not heard of them.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Time to fall on my sword with a blind guess, they're in Turkey.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17You think they're in Turkey?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I don't think they're in Turkey,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21but it's a choice of pick a country in the world.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23It's Canada, British Columbia. That's close.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Well done, Mark! - What about that!
0:22:26 > 0:22:30A very, very hard fought round, and very well played to you, Mark.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Well done, you took on one of the Eggheads, you emerged triumphant.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Good news, because it means you'll be able, Mark, to play in today's final round.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Congratulations, please both of you now come back
0:22:41 > 0:22:44and rejoin your teammates.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48So this is what we've been playing towards, it's the final round,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51and as always it's general knowledge.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:22:53 > 0:22:55won't be allowed to take part in this round -
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Bob and David from the Cross Foxes,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and Judith and CJ from the Eggheads.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Please can you leave the studio.
0:23:05 > 0:23:11Les, Tim and Mark, you are playing to win the Cross Foxes £1,000.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I can tell you that the Eggheads have not got a great record against Welsh teams.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20However, on only two occasions have they actually lost
0:23:20 > 0:23:24two contests in succession, and they lost the last one, so...
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Kevin, Daphne and Chris, you are playing for something
0:23:28 > 0:23:30which money can't buy -
0:23:30 > 0:23:34the Eggheads' reputation, which badly needs restoring at this point.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41This time the questions are all general knowledge,
0:23:41 > 0:23:42you ARE allowed to confer.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Cross Foxes, the question is, are your three brains
0:23:45 > 0:23:48better than the Eggheads' three brains?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52So Les, Tim and Mark, would you like the first set of questions
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- or the second set? And good luck, by the way.- Continue?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58We'll continue as we have been Jeremy, we'll go first please.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Our final round, here we go.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05In an Italian meal, which course is known as dolce?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Starter, main course or dessert?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Dolce, I'd go for dessert.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Dolce vita? Is that goodbye?
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Are we all agreed on that?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Yes.- OK.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I think we'll go for dessert, Jeremy.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- And you're right. - Thank you.- Well done.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Well done, chaps!
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Eggheads, what colour is the cross on the flag of Switzerland?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Red, white or blue?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's actually white,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38and the red cross which is the international symbol,
0:24:38 > 0:24:39is the reverse of it.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44So the Swiss flag has a white cross, you say?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- A white cross.- Correct.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Cross Foxes, in 1985 who became the first footballer
0:24:51 > 0:24:54to be sent off during an FA Cup final?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55It was your boy, wasn't it?
0:24:55 > 0:25:01Was it Remi Moses, Kevin Moran or Arthur Albiston?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I was actually there!
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Tim assures us he was actually... - You were there?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Well, I'm hoping I've got it right.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I agree with him.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12I watched Kevin Moran getting sent off,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15but my captain would like to give the answer.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18We'll stick with that one, Jeremy, Kevin Moran.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- Who was he playing for?- He was playing for Manchester United.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25You're right, it was Kevin Moran. Well done, you're in the lead.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Eggheads, the Wallachia province,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30ruled by Vlad the Impaler in the 15th century,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33is now part of which modern day country?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Poland, Russia or Romania?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Romania.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42That would be Romania.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Yes, it is Romania. Correct.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Two points all.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Get this right and keep the pressure on them.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Cross Foxes, who is generally believed to be the subject of the Chandos portrait,
0:25:54 > 0:26:00the first portrait to be acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in 1856?
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Was it Chaucer, Dickens or Shakespeare?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07The first one.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- What date was it again, please, Jeremy?- 1856.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12What do you reckon?
0:26:12 > 0:26:13It was Will Shakespeare.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17But if it was Shakespeare... I don't think it's Shakespeare.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Dickens?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I think it's... I think it's Chaucer, Geoffrey Chaucer.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- That's what I fancy. Are you happy with that?- You think so?
0:26:25 > 0:26:26That's what I'm happy with.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31We're not too certain, Jeremy, but we're going for Chaucer.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Chaucer is wrong, guys, I'm sorry.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35It's William Shakespeare.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Eggheads, who was Chandos?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44That was the family that had held the portrait, I believe,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and then when the National Portrait Gallery was set up in 1856,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50it came into... donated.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53And that's the famous Bard portrait that we know?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's probably the most familiar image,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58obviously, the domed forehead and the goatee beard,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01it's probably the one that's been reproduced most often over the years.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06The domed forehead? Do you recognise yourselves in that?
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Er, no.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09He was an early Egghead, maybe?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13If you get this question right, you've won. Here's your question.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16The historic Anglo Saxon site of Sutton Hoo
0:27:16 > 0:27:18lies close to the banks of which river?
0:27:18 > 0:27:24The River Stour, the River Deben or the River Alde?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26It's not the Alde, I've been there.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30The Anglo Saxon site of Sutton Hoo lies close to the banks of which river?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33The Alde, I think, is too far up.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36The Alde's too far up.
0:27:36 > 0:27:43- Sutton is on the east side of the estuary.- Yes.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- If I had a first thought, it was the Deben.- Yes.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51I know that the Stour estuary is close by there as well.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Shall we go Deben?- Yes.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57We're not at all sure, we don't think it's the Alde,
0:27:57 > 0:27:58we're torn between the Deben and the Stour,
0:27:58 > 0:28:02just have a feeling it might be closer to the Deben, so Deben.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Your answer is, just to be clear? - Deben.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08It is the River Deben. Congratulations, you've won!
0:28:14 > 0:28:17You had us on tenterhooks, all of us.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22Commiserations, challengers, the Eggheads have got back to doing what comes naturally to them,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25and they reign supreme over quizland once again.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £1,000,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Eggheads, many congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42£2,000 says they don't.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Till then, goodbye.
