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?
0:00:24 > 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 > 0:00:33You might recognise them as they're goliaths
0:00:33 > 0:00:37in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:44are the Belle Vue Aces, the team are all speedway fans.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48They meet up regularly at Belle Vue racetrack in Manchester,
0:00:48 > 0:00:49so let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Brian, I'm 67 and I'm an advertising contractor.
0:00:53 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 65 and I'm a forensic accountant.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Tina, I'm 42 and I'm an actress.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Colin, I'm 58 and I'm an insolvency practitioner.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm David, I'm 56 and I'm a company director.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14So Brian, it's speedway that brings you together?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Yes, we're all, via the website, we're all speedway fans,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22but we communicate with each other via the website, the unofficial website.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25But you've got interesting business connections.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- You're an advertising contractor. - Yes.- Selling ads on cinema tickets.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Yes, cinema and supermarket,
0:01:31 > 0:01:36so when you go into any cinema we contract companies to advertise.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Next to you, forensic accountant, insolvency practitioner,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41on the end we've got David,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44who has a company that rescues other companies.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Correct.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48So Tina, what are you doing in the middle of this team as the actress?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I'm the odd one out!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54But I've watched Belle Vue speedway since I was about nine years old,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57so I've followed the Aces for many, many years
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and that's what joins us all together.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Let's see if you can overtake the Eggheads today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09However, if they fail to defeat this amazing team to my right,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So Belle Vue Aces, the Eggheads have won the last two games
0:02:14 > 0:02:18which means £3,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Politics.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Challengers, which one of you wants to play this category?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I think we'll be nominating Mike.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33Mike, said with complete certainty. I sense a game plan here?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Well...- For this one round!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37We were hoping Politics was first so...
0:02:37 > 0:02:41You've done well - nine categories, you got the first one.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Who do you want to play against?- CJ.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48CJ from the Eggheads against Mike from the Belle Vue Aces.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Good luck to you both.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54To ensure there's no conferring, please now go to the Question Room.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Good luck.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00I'm going to ask you three multiple choice questions on Politics.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and Mike, you can choose whether you have the first or second set.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I'll go first.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Someone whose political allegiance changes between elections
0:03:14 > 0:03:15is commonly known as what?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26That is going to be a floating voter.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29It is a floating voter, well done.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31CLAPPING
0:03:31 > 0:03:34CJ, a survey of how electors have voted,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38taken as they leave the building is known by what two word name?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46If you're leaving, you're exiting, so it would be an exit poll.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47It is indeed. Thank you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50One each. Back to you, Mike.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53How are the business papers of the House of Commons known?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Well, they're certainly not white papers.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I'll go for early day motions.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Your answer is early day motions. - It is.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17That's wrong. It's vote bundle.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23CJ, in 2002, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
0:04:23 > 0:04:27became President of which South American country?
0:04:31 > 0:04:32I don't think it's Colombia,
0:04:32 > 0:04:37because I think that's Evo Morales, I think his name is.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42I don't know about Paraguay, but I'll go for Brazil for Da Silva.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Brazil is correct. Well done, CJ.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Your antennae doing well for you there.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So your third question, Mike, and you need this.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Which British political philosopher wrote two treatises of government
0:04:57 > 0:05:02in 1690 in which he attacked the theory of the divine right of kings?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I'm certainly not sure on this one.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18I think I'd choose Thomas Hobbes.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Your answer is Thomas Hobbes.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- If you get this wrong, you will not play in the final round.- Mm.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It's actually John Locke, Mike.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32So, CJ, well done.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37You've got two, Mike got one. Mike, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Yeah.- Please both of you rejoin us here in the studio.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49The Eggheads have lost no brains. Our next subject, Arts and Books.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Belle Vue Aces, Arts and Books.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Do I sense Tina thinking? No? Who's gonna do that?- Not Tina.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- No, it's er...- David.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01David. OK, against whom?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- David, who do you think? - Who would you like to play?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- I'll go for Chris.- Chris.- Chris?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Chris gets chosen for Arts and Books incessantly.- Mm.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Chris, we can't work out the reason.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16People think you haven't read anything.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20People think being an ex-train driver, what do I know about the finer things of life?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22You do spring some surprises though.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24All right, David, from the Belle Vue Aces
0:06:24 > 0:06:28against Chris from the Eggheads, what a contest we have here.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32To ensure there's no conferring please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36David, are you ready to get this thing going for your team?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Yes.- Multiple choice questions, first or second set?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I'll go for the first.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49David, which imaginary beings created by JRR Tolkien
0:06:49 > 0:06:55are half-human size with hairy feet and a name meaning hole dwelling?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Right, well, Tolkien, that was Lord Of The Rings.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I've seen the films.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09And I believe it's the hobbits.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Spot on, well done.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12CLAPPING
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Chris, Three Men In A Boat is the comical account
0:07:17 > 0:07:21of three men's journey up which river?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29It's up the Thames with Montmorency, the dog, the River Thames.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Quite right.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32David, you're doing well. You're in there.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Which best-selling author wrote the novels The Carpetbaggers
0:07:36 > 0:07:38and Where Love Has Gone?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Yes, I don't know Where Love Has Gone.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Er, I think Mario Puzo was The Godfather, wasn't it? I think.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I'm gonna go for Harold Robbins.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I'm so glad you did, you're right. Well done.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08Chris, which Spanish artist painted the celebrated Pinturas Negras,
0:08:08 > 0:08:13or Black Paintings, directly onto the walls of his house?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I don't think it was El Greco,
0:08:22 > 0:08:26because he was a classical old master who painted on canvas.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Goya did do some pretty dark stuff at the time of the Napoleonic wars.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38But I don't think he was that, I won't say eccentric,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42but off the wall, to coin a phrase, so I'll go with Joan Miro.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47You're wrong, it was Goya.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51He was off the wall, or on the wall!
0:08:51 > 0:08:56So if you get this right, David, you've knocked him out!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00In 1976 the Tate caused outrage by exhibiting a sculpture
0:09:00 > 0:09:04of 120 fire bricks by which artist?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I remember it being exhibited.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I don't remember the artist.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I suppose David Smith is an artist, but doesn't sound like one.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Er...
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I think I'll go for David Smith.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34OK, David Smith is your answer, it's wrong. It was Carl Andre.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36OK, Chris, your third question.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Who wrote the lines,
0:09:38 > 0:09:43"Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive?"
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It's not Shakespeare.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54I believe it was Sir Walter Scott.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58You're right. Walter Scott is the answer.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02So, after three questions each the scores are level.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05We now go, brace yourselves, to sudden death.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I'm not going to give you three answers.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I'm going to want the answer from you.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Your question, David.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell is a play by which writer,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17born in 1929?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I can't recall his name.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Probably wrong but I'll have a stab at John Osborne.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- No, it's Keith Waterhouse.- Ah.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39A famous journalist.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Yeah.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Chris, to take the round,
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Tropic of Cancer is a controversial book by which author?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Henry Miller.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Yes, you're right.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Chris, you won and that means David
0:10:56 > 0:10:59can't join his team in the final round, but Chris can.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Please both of you come back, rejoin your team mates.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06The challengers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07The Eggheads have lost none.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10The Eggheads are doing well. We can say that officially.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13The next subject is Music.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Which of you wants Music?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Well, I think you. - I think that might be me!
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Yes, I think it's going to have to be you.- It looks like that's me.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Against whom? - Oh, gosh! I'll have Kevin.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28You're taking on Kevin?!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Oh, you're brave.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Tina, from the Belle Aces versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40to ensure there's no conferring, please leave the studio now.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Three questions on Music in turn, multiple choice.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Tina, you can choose the first or second set.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I'll go first, please.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Tina, in which decade was Mouldy Old Dough a UK number one hit single
0:11:54 > 0:11:56for Lieutenant Pigeon?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Well, I was put in this round because no-one else wanted it
0:12:05 > 0:12:09and I'm the youngest and I don't remember it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14I was around in the '70s and the '80s so I'm gonna say the 1960s.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19'60s is wrong. It's the '70s.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22But gosh, I've got no memory of that song. What on earth is that?
0:12:22 > 0:12:27It was a number one hit, Jeremy, in about 1972, thereabouts.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31It was supposedly done in someone's bedroom or sitting room,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35one of those very much self-designed efforts
0:12:35 > 0:12:38using his mum's tape deck and that sort of thing.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Almost ragtime piano and every five or six bars,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44somebody on the track goes, "Mouldy Old Dough".
0:12:44 > 0:12:46OK, got it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Tina, not knowing that is something you can be proud about it, OK?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Your question, Kevin, first question to you.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57"It's been seven hours and 15 days since you took your love away"
0:12:57 > 0:13:03are the opening lines of a 1990 UK number one single for which singer?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12I think that's from Nothing Compares 2 U, so it's Sinead O'Connor.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Absolutely right. Do you know who wrote that?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Prince.- Prince.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18OK, Tina, here we go.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Which singer famous for his proficient whistling
0:13:22 > 0:13:26had hit singles with Durham Town and The Last Farewell?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Well... If it was a good reason that I didn't know the last one,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I'm not sure it's a good reason that I think I know this one.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I like Neil Sedaka, so I know it's not him.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48In my younger days I used to sit with my grandparents
0:13:48 > 0:13:51watching Val Doonican rocking on his chair,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54so the answer is Roger Whittaker.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Well done, Roger Whittaker.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00You'd never have someone nowadays
0:14:00 > 0:14:04famous for proficient whistling, would you? It just wouldn't happen.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Kevin, The Neon Bible is the second album by which band?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I think that's Arcade Fire, Jeremy.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Arcade Fire.- Arcade Fire is right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Two points to one, so Tina, we're rooting for you here.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Get this one right, you're still in it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29The piece of music known as the Arrival of the Queen of Sheba
0:14:29 > 0:14:32comes from which oratorio by Handel?
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Mm.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I don't know it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I don't know a great lot about the Queen of Sheba either.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47If I did, that might help me.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52No, I don't think I can do an educated guess,
0:14:52 > 0:14:57so I'll just plump for...
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Solomon.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02So that is what you describe as an uneducated guess?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Yes.- You should try them more often.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- You're right.- Great!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12If you get this right Kevin, you'll survive to play in the final round.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Here's your third question.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Which American singer released an album
0:15:17 > 0:15:22called 'The IRS Tapes: Who'll Buy My Memories?'
0:15:22 > 0:15:27the proceeds of which went to pay his 16 million tax bill.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34No, don't know that.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Doesn't really sound like Snoop Dogg, not enough swearing.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45So...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Potentially, if you don't know it and I don't,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54then it could be either of the others,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56so I'll go for Willie Nelson.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- That's your answer?- Yeah.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You're right, Kevin. It is Willie Nelson.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Well, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09so you can't play, Tina, in the final round.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Kevin, you can. Do both please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18As it stands the challengers have lost three brains from the final round
0:16:18 > 0:16:20while the Eggheads still haven't lost any challengers.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23You need this round. It's gonna be Sport.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Who is your sporting person? - I think that's probably me.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29OK, Brian, advertising contractor.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Who is their non-sporting person?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I think it's got to be the lovely Judith.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Brian from the Belle Vue Aces
0:16:37 > 0:16:39against Judith from the Eggheads on Sport,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42do please leave the studio, take your positions now.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Brian, multiple choice round.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47You can choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I think I'll take the first.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Ashley Cole left which football club to join Chelsea FC in 2006?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Well, I know it wasn't Charlton, because they're my second team
0:17:05 > 0:17:06behind Manchester City
0:17:06 > 0:17:10and I don't think he ever played for West Ham United,
0:17:10 > 0:17:14but he certainly did play for Arsenal.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17He did and made a lot of Arsenal fans cross when he left.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Well done.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Judith on Sport,
0:17:22 > 0:17:27who captained England in the 2006-2007 Ashes tour?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Well, I don't think it's Matthew Hoggard.
0:17:36 > 0:17:422006-7, that's two years ago, one year ago,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I think I'm going to say Andrew Flintoff.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- Flintoff is your answer.- Mm.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- You're right.- Oh, phew!- One each.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Back to you, Brian. Which British runner successfully appealed against
0:17:55 > 0:18:00a lifelong Olympic ban in 2007 for missing three drugs tests?
0:18:07 > 0:18:12I don't think it was Sam Ellis, so I'll eliminate him.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17I also will strike out Marlon Devonish
0:18:17 > 0:18:21and go for Christine Ohuruogu.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Christine Ohuruogu is correct, well done.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Well done.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Judith, upon coming out of retirement in 1980,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Muhammad Ali was beaten by which boxer?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I hate boxing questions.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Aren't they easier? Cos you've only got two people in a boxing match.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54I know, but they fight a huge number of bouts, don't they?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I mean matches, whatever they're called.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02It was either Larry Holmes or Joe Frazier.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Larry Holmes.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Is right!- No!
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Yes!- Gosh.- Golly gosh.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13My talent for guessing is coming back.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Yes, you're right, it's deserted you recently. It's made its comeback.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19That doesn't bode well for the Belle Vue Aces.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Let's see, third question, here we go, Brian.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25See if you can make it a perfect three.
0:19:25 > 0:19:31Peter Gade, Bao Chunlai and Simon Santoso
0:19:31 > 0:19:34are famous names in which sport?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Well, I don't know any of the names.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Um...
0:19:44 > 0:19:48I'm leaning towards table tennis.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55And I will go for table tennis.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57You've gone for table tennis.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Any Eggheads know the answer here? - Badminton.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01How do you know that, Kevin?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05I've heard of the first two, I don't know the third name, Santoso.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Peter Gade's Danish, what was the second?
0:20:07 > 0:20:12- Bao Chunlai.- Yeah, the Chinese, as in many racquet sports,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15that sort of thing, they're quite dominant.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- None of them are household names really.- No.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Maybe they will be one day. You're wrong. Sorry, Brian.- OK.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24So, Judith, if you get this right we're going to see
0:20:24 > 0:20:27you playing in the final round.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's so exciting.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31What will that be like? Can you imagine it?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Jeremy, don't let's exaggerate, I have played in it once or twice!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37OK. I'm being cheeky!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Here's your question.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Who won an individual silver medal for show jumping
0:20:42 > 0:20:46on a pony called Stroller in the Mexico 1968 Olympics?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I think Pat Smythe had finished by then.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I remember the pony.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02I mean, it was a tiny little thing and jumped these enormous jumps.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I think it then flashed its tail as it went over,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08if I'm thinking of the right one.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I think it might have been Marion Coakes.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14This is the picture in my head.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17This tiny pony jumping enormous jumps
0:21:17 > 0:21:20and then it used to flash its tail.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23We've all got the picture now and you are right as well, Judith,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27so well done. You're going to be taking part in the final round.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Brian, I'm sorry, you were beaten by our Egghead. They do do that a lot.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36As a result your team will really look rather depleted in the final round.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Please both of you come back and join your team mates.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Time for our final round, as always, General Knowledge,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46but I'm afraid, I don't mean to rub it in,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't participate in this round,
0:21:50 > 0:21:54so Brian, Mike, Tina and David from the Belle Vue Aces,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56would you please leave the studio.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Colin, you're playing to win the Belle Vue Aces £3,000.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Judith, Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06you are playing for something which money can't buy.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08And that is the reputation of the Eggheads.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:22:14 > 0:22:16and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Colin, the question is, is your one brain better than their five brains?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23You can choose first or second set of questions.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I will go second.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30So Eggheads,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33what is the name of the business model which promises
0:22:33 > 0:22:35that once you pay a joining fee
0:22:35 > 0:22:38you can earn large amounts by recruiting new members?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Pyramid scheme.- Yes, yes.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48That's a pyramid scheme.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53The number of people who've stopped me and tried to get me to join one.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Pyramid scheme is right, well done. Colin, your first question.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01In 2002, Harrison Ford became romantically linked
0:23:01 > 0:23:02to which actress?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I'm laughing because my wife would kill me,
0:23:10 > 0:23:16because, whichever one it is, she was extremely jealous.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20And I can't quite remember which one she was extremely jealous about.
0:23:20 > 0:23:27I seem to remember he was on a canal boat in Cheshire.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33I'm going to say Calista Flockhart.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Your wife will be pleased, because it is.- Thank you.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41You're right, they came past your neck of the woods in a barge.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Yeah, but too late for my wife to get there.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Had she known!
0:23:45 > 0:23:50A lot of press on them, on this quiet barge holiday. Well done.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52One point each. Eggheads...
0:23:52 > 0:23:58What name is given to rebated fuel used in agricultural vehicles?
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Red diesel.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06What name is given to rebated fuel used in agricultural vehicles?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Red diesel. Red diesel.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15Jeremy, they dye it red, so it can't be used elsewhere.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Ordinary motorists can't use it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19It stains your fuel injectors and everything
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- so they know you've been using it.- You're right.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24You take the lead, so back to you, Colin.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29In America, the Parental Advisory labels warning of explicit lyrics
0:24:29 > 0:24:31are sometimes known as the tipper sticker
0:24:31 > 0:24:34after which politician's wife?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Tipper, Tipper, Tipper... Tipper Carter, Tipper Perot.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I seem to remember a Tipper Gore.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'll go for Al Gore.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52She exists, you're right. Tipper Gore is Al Gore's wife.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Well done!
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Two points each. It's tight as could be.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02And, of course, at this point about...not long ago,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05with the Eggheads full of confidence,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07you crashed and burned on a simple question.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Let's see what happens now.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12What is the name of the swimming race
0:25:12 > 0:25:14that takes place on Christmas morning
0:25:14 > 0:25:16in the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Kensington Gardens.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27That's the Peter Pan Cup.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30So you're not gonna get it wrong just to entertain us.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- No.- The Peter Pan Cup, you're right. - Because he could get his right.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37You're quite right.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39So, you need this, Colin.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43If you get it wrong, your team will have lost the contest.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45This is your third question.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Which 20th century cartoonist
0:25:47 > 0:25:53was celebrated for his The Man Who... series of cartoons?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Which 20th century cartoonist was celebrated for his
0:26:01 > 0:26:06The Man Who... series of cartoons?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Yeah, I think Vicky was famous in the Express
0:26:10 > 0:26:13or one of the papers during the war.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Sidney Strube, I'm not sure, I'm not sure.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20But I can see that man.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- I think I'm going to try to go for HM Bateman.- Is that your answer?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- Yes.- Knowing that if it's wrong, you're out? The whole team is out?
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- That's showbiz.- You're still in. You're right, well done.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37How about that, Belle Vue Aces? He's doing well for you, isn't he?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41You've had your three multiple choice questions,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45we now move to sudden death and we start with the Eggheads.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Which type of shoes are named after the merchant and shipping reformer
0:26:49 > 0:26:55who, in 1876, instigated the line which indicated the maximum depth
0:26:55 > 0:26:57to which a ship could be loaded safely?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- That would be plimsolls. - Plimsolls is correct.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Named after Samuel Plimsoll.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- He was an MP.- Indeed.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Your question, Colin. To keep it alive.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Finnish and which other language
0:27:13 > 0:27:16are the two national languages of Finland?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Finnish and...
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Two national languages of Finland.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28It could be English, because they like English
0:27:28 > 0:27:31as a common language there but I can't really see it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Would they have had Russian after the problems they had with Russia?
0:27:35 > 0:27:40Did they use to be part of Norway?
0:27:40 > 0:27:45I shall say...Russian.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50You think Russian was spoken with Finnish
0:27:50 > 0:27:52as a national language of Finland?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56You're wrong. It was Swedish.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- Because they were under Swedish rule for some time.- Yeah.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Sorry about that, Colin. - It's all right.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Dashed hopes at the end.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07The Eggheads have won.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Commiserations to our brilliant Belle Vue Aces.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16It's been lovely to have you.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20They still reign supreme over quizland
0:28:20 > 0:28:24and I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Eggheads, congratulations!
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Who will beat you? Particularly when there's five of you in a row.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33It really is frightening.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Join us next time to see if the new challengers
0:28:35 > 0:28:37have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39£4,000 says they don't.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Until then, goodbye.
