0:00:04 > 0:00:09These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:14 > 0:00:15quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where
0:00:26 > 0:00:29a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against possibly
0:00:29 > 0:00:32the greatest quiz team in Britain. You might recognise them,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42And taking on our quiz champions today are the Pints and Jets from
0:00:42 > 0:00:44West Sussex. The team all work at the same bank together and,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48despite normally quizzing on separate teams,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51they've joined forces to conquer the Eggheads, hopefully.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Phil, I'm 36 and I'm a part-time bank official,
0:00:58 > 0:00:59part-time house husband.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Angela, I'm 45 and I'm a bank official.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Ray, I'm 45 and I'm a bank official.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Lisa, I'm 40 and I'm a bank official.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Theresa, I'm 39 and I'm also a bank official.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17So, Phil, you all work together?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- We do.- And you are, I gather,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23a house husband and a bank clerk simultaneously?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27I do, I work part-time at the bank and look after my children
0:01:27 > 0:01:29for the rest of the week, the beginning of the week.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- How old are they? - Alex is six, Jessica is four.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36A six-year-old and a four-year-old, is that more difficult than a bank, or not?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Yes, it must be.- Yes, it is.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- We've got a lot of- music going on here, haven't we?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Your favourite band is?- Metallica.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Metallica. We've got... Who's the Dylan fan?- That's me, Jeremy.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48And glam rock?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- That's me.- OK, look, we're
0:01:50 > 0:01:53praying that music comes up for you, you're going to be strong on it.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Every day there is £1,000
0:01:55 > 0:01:58worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers. However, if they fail
0:01:58 > 0:02:03to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06So, Pints and Jets, the Eggheads have won the last three games, I can
0:02:06 > 0:02:12tell you, which means £4,000 says you can't beat them. Are you ready?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Yes.- Want to try?- Yes. - The first head-to-head battle
0:02:15 > 0:02:18will be on the subject of, not music, Arts and Books.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Challengers, tell us, who wants to play?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Who's this one?- No, I don't want it, no.- OK.- Do you want it?- OK.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Angela will be doing this one.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Angela, which Egghead looks like cracking?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30- Daphne.- Daphne?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Yep. Daphne. Daphne, please. - Daphne, OK.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So, Angela from Pints and Jets versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45So, Angela, you're married to Phil?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- I am.- So, Alex and Jessica who we spoke about are your children? - They are, yes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54So, you're also sharing this house duties and bank duties?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I work full-time at the bank and I spend most of my time
0:02:57 > 0:03:02at the weekends with the children, the housework doesn't get done.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Let's see if the quiz work gets done. Daphne, you have
0:03:05 > 0:03:08played 29 Arts and Books and lost four.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Oh, right.- Don't sound so surprised, I know you know that.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- I don't!- You know everything!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I'm going to ask each of you three questions
0:03:16 > 0:03:20on Arts and Books in turn, whoever answers the most questions
0:03:20 > 0:03:24is the winner and, Angela, you can choose the first or second set.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I'll go for the first.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Angela, which Shakespeare character delivers the lines,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39"I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him"?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Oh, good grief!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Brutus.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Is that a guess or a factual stab?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53It's a guess.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57And it is the wrong answer, I'm sorry, Angela.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Mark Antony is the answer.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01OK, Daphne,
0:04:01 > 0:04:06where does Winston Smith work in George Orwell's novel 1984?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Do you know, I remember reading this.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23I took 1984 with me to my very first guide camp, not a very good choice,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26but it's the Ministry of Truth.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28The Ministry of Truth it is, thank you.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30OK, Angela, let's pull it back.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33The Velveteen Rabbit is the best known work
0:04:33 > 0:04:35by which children's author?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Ah!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I'll go for Lynne Reid Banks.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53It's actually Margery Williams.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58So, Daphne, to you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Jeremy.- If you get this right, you have taken
0:05:00 > 0:05:04the round because it wouldn't be possible for Angela to come back
0:05:04 > 0:05:06and get two points from this position.
0:05:06 > 0:05:12So, your question is this. Which Roman poet, born in 43BC,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16is ranked alongside Virgil and Horace as one of the three
0:05:16 > 0:05:18canonical poets of Latin literature?
0:05:27 > 0:05:32The date doesn't help at all and they're all poets.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39I think the one that I've heard most of is Ovid,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41so I shall go for Ovid.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44You are right, Daphne, right again.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- I'm sorry, Jeremy! - No, don't apologise!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Apologise to Angela.- Yeah, sorry.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52You didn't even let her off the blocks. Well done, Daphne.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Angela, sorry, you were beaten by our Egghead, it does happen.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01so do both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Tough one, Angela, very tough.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- Do you think you would have done better if you had gone second maybe? - No.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15So, there's no straw to clutch at there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19All right, as it stands, still lots to play for,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24the Eggheads have lost no brains, but it's early.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Next subject is Geography,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29who from the challengers wants to go geographical?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Phil, it's one of your stronger ones.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- I'll take it.- Yep, Phil. - You're going to take it?- Yep.- OK,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37and who do you want to play against?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Do you think Judith or CJ? - Judith or CJ,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- it's up to you, your choice. - Judith, please.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45So, it's Phil from the Pints and Jets against Judith,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47how confident are we today?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I don't know. I can't remember what my statistics are.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53There's ups and downs with Judith, you might catch her on a good day.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Just tell us about the team name, Pints and Jets, where does that come from?
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Well, myself and Ray were in a quiz team called Another Pint Anyone?, there was just the two of us
0:07:08 > 0:07:12and we used to go to a pub quiz in Crawley, called ourselves Another Pint Anyone?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16We thought it was amazingly funny because the quiz master would say Another Pint Anyone?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19And everyone used to go, "Yes, please", and that sort of died down
0:07:19 > 0:07:22after about a week but the name stuck, and the ladies used to be
0:07:22 > 0:07:27in a team called Jets, so we just merged for the purpose of Eggheads and Pints and Jets we are.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Pints and Jets you are, good. OK, well I'll ask each of you three questions on Geography in turn,
0:07:31 > 0:07:32they're multiple choice.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Phil, you can choose first or second set.- I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42OK, Stalybridge and Oldham are towns
0:07:42 > 0:07:44on the outskirts of which English city?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Bit further up the motorway than Birmingham, Stalybridge and Oldham,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52and they're just on the outskirts of Manchester.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Correct.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58You're on your way.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Judith, on which continent
0:08:01 > 0:08:05would you find storm-bringing polar winds called pamperos?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Well, it sounds like South America
0:08:13 > 0:08:17because of the pampas and it sounds vaguely sort of Spanish,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21so I would imagine it's South America.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24You've imagined it's South America, what's your answer?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29The conviction you want is South America.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- I know I'm never going to get it. - No, you aren't.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35You're right, South America. 1-1.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39OK, Phil, South Beach, famous for its Art Deco buildings,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41is a district in which American city?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49My instinct before it came up was actually Miami,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51but now seeing San Francisco I'm not so sure.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'm going to plump for Miami.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59You said that with your teeth gritted!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I'm not entirely sure, but I'll go for Miami.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04How painful will this be if it's wrong?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06We'll find out in a minute.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- It's not wrong, you got it right, well done.- Go on!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Judith, the Comoros Islands are situated off the east coast
0:09:15 > 0:09:16of which African country?
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Well, I'm fairly sure
0:09:22 > 0:09:26they're in the Indian Ocean, so that would rule out Namibia.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Whether they are as far north as Eritrea
0:09:30 > 0:09:34and whether that's actually in the... I think it's Mozambique.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Well done, you're right. It's tight, 2-2.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Your third question, Phil.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44What is the westernmost point in mainland Wales?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49(JEREMY STRUGGLES WITH PRONUNCIATION)
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I bet you enjoyed my pronunciation there!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00I have absolutely no idea.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Carreg yr Esgob sounds like a Dylan Thomas play.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Carn ar Wig or Pen Dal-aderyn, absolutely no idea.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I've never heard of any of them.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- Is that because of the way I pronounced them?- No.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Carreg yr Esgob.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30I'm trying to get something from deep in my mind, nothing's coming up.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34I'm drawn to Carreg yr Esgob for no reason whatsoever.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Carreg yr Esgob.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Carreg yr Esgob,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46I don't know where you would start trying to work out the rights and
0:10:46 > 0:10:48wrongs of this, but it's wrong, I'm afraid.
0:10:48 > 0:10:55It's Pen Dal-aderyn. So, you have to hope here that Judith bails out.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Here's your question.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Iron Knob,
0:10:59 > 0:11:04the birthplace of Australia's steel industry, is located in which state?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Oh, dearie me! That's another pig of a question.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Well, I don't suppose it's Western Australia,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16because I think that was the last that was settled.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23So it's either New South Wales or South Australia.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I think I'm going to plump for New South Wales.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- That's your answer?- Uh-huh.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Eggheads, do you think she's got it right?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- I hope so.- You don't know?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37No, I've vaguely heard of it, I would have gone for New South Wales.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40It's got to be somewhere where there's both iron ore and coal,
0:11:40 > 0:11:41and that's New South Wales.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44You're all wrong! It's South Australia.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46What a bore!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Breathe a sigh of relief, challengers. This is looking good.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Go on, Phil.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Now, we've done our three multiple choice questions, what we do now
0:11:55 > 0:11:57is to make it that bit harder.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's sudden death and I'm not going to give you three alternatives,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01you have to give me the answer.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03So, your question, Phil, is this.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07What is the official currency of San Marino?
0:12:07 > 0:12:12The official currency of San Marino is the euro.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You're right.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I thought it was a trick question for a moment.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I could see you searching for the trick, but there wasn't one.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24Judith, which mountain is known as Sagarmatha in Nepali
0:12:24 > 0:12:28and Chomolungma in Tibetan?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I was trying to think if Everest straddles both of those.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Can you get up Everest from Tibet?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42My geography has deserted me at the moment.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I think Everest.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47And you're right, well done.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Phew!
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Back to you, Phil. The only two landlocked countries
0:12:53 > 0:12:56in South America are Paraguay and which other?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Yeah, they both lie directly under Brazil and that's Bolivia.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Spot on!
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Great play from our challengers here. Judith, the German cities
0:13:08 > 0:13:12of Dresden and Hamburg are situated on which river?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20The Rhine.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Is that your answer?- Yeah. - It's wrong.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It's the Elbe.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Oh, dear, well I had Elbe and Oder in my head.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I'm afraid that doesn't count, they have to come out of your head
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- for it to count.- I know.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Well done, Phil! Well done to our challengers,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41the Pints and Jets, taking on the Eggheads, emerging triumphant.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44That's great news - Phil can now play in the final round
0:13:44 > 0:13:47and one senses he knows his stuff.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Do both of you come back, rejoin your teams.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57So, as it stands the Eggheads and the challengers have lost one brain each from the final round.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Next subject is Film and Television.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Which of you wants to take on which Egghead?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- That would be Theresa. Theresa?- Yeah.- Theresa, please.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Theresa, OK.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Who do you want to take on? - I think Chris.- Chris.- Yes?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Chris, please.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17OK, so, it's Theresa from the Pints and Jets
0:14:17 > 0:14:19versus Chris from the Eggheads
0:14:19 > 0:14:22and please do take your places in the Question Room.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28So, I'm gonna ask each of you three questions on Film and Television in turn.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Theresa, would you like the first set of questions or the second?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33I would like the first ones, please.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42"An adventure 65 million years in the making"
0:14:42 > 0:14:48is the tagline from which 1993 Steven Spielberg film?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Well, I don't believe it's Jaws,
0:14:56 > 0:15:00and I don't think it's War of the Worlds either.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I'm going to go for Jurassic Park.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Quite right, well done!
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Confidence is building in your team.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Chris, a painting known as The Fallen Madonna by Van Klomp
0:15:15 > 0:15:19was a feature of which TV sitcom in the 1980s?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I notice you didn't give the painting its full title,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28but it was 'Allo 'Allo!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Help me out here, what was the full title?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies
0:15:33 > 0:15:35and the Big Vase with the Cracked Daisies.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It's only because we didn't have time.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40All right, Theresa.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43In the TV cartoon series The Flintstones,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46what is the name of Barney and Betty's adopted son?
0:15:49 > 0:15:50I know Dino is the pet dinosaur,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Hoppy, I don't actually recall that being in The Flintstones,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56so I'm going to go for Bamm Bamm.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Bamm Bamm is bang on, you've got it.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02CLAPPING
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Challengers ahead of the Eggheads, Chris could pull it back.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Chris, your question, which actress received her 24th BAFTA nomination
0:16:08 > 0:16:14in 2008 for her role in the TV period drama Cranford?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I don't think Maggie Smith or Eileen Atkins were in Cranford,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27but Judi Dench certainly was, so I'll say Judi Dench.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Good play, you're right, it was Judi Dench.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34So, our third multiple choice question now, Theresa.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Who, in 1994, became only the second woman in history
0:16:38 > 0:16:42to be nominated for a best director Academy Award?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I'm not 100% sure on this one.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55I have heard of Sofia Coppola,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I'm not familiar with the other two.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Um...
0:16:59 > 0:17:03On the basis of that I think I'll have to go for Sofia Coppola.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05That's wrong! It was Jane Campion.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Anyone want to tell us?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Kevin, this is your field.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- CJ: Portrait Of A Lady? - No, it will be for The Piano.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- The Piano.- For The Piano. - Yes.- Which is 1993.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Chris, your chance to take it.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22What is the name of the 1990 sequel, directed by Jack Nicholson,
0:17:22 > 0:17:27to Roman Polanski's award-winning film Chinatown?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Well, the private eye in Chinatown was Jake Gittes,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40so the sequel would be The Two Jakes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- That's your answer?- Uh-huh.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43You're right, Chris.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Well done, you've taken the round.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Theresa, you were beaten, so you can't play in the final round today.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Please both of you come back, rejoin your team mates.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02the Eggheads have lost one. The last subject now is History.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Who from our challengers would like to play in this round? Ray or Lisa?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- What do you reckon?- I'm rubbish at history. Are you any good?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- Not much better. - Do you want me to take it?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Yeah, if you don't mind. Lisa will take it.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Lisa's doing it.- OK, Lisa, and you can choose either CJ or Kevin.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Kevin!- Yeah, right(!) LAUGHTER
0:18:24 > 0:18:27People are slightly frightened of you, Kevin.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- They are slightly frightened! - CJ, yeah.- CJ, please.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35OK. So, it's Lisa from the Pints and Jets versus CJ, surprise, surprise
0:18:35 > 0:18:36from the Eggheads.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40To ensure there's no conferring, please do leave the studio.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So, each of you will have three questions on history,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48multiple choice and Lisa, first or second set?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I'll go first, please.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Lisa, during which major conflict
0:18:56 > 0:19:01did the New York Draft Riots of 1863 take place?
0:19:07 > 0:19:12I think I'm gonna rule out the Boer War, so one of the other two.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17I really have no idea, I'm gonna go with the American Civil War.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Your team are pleased. Well done, you got it right.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25CLAPPING
0:19:25 > 0:19:28CJ, during World War Two,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30ack-ack was an informal term for a type of what?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39I used to know what it meant or why it was called ack-ack,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42it might just be from the sound, but it was an anti-aircraft gun.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Yes, it was, well done. One-all.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Lisa, Babieca was the warhorse of which Spanish military leader,
0:19:50 > 0:19:54who died in Valencia in 1099?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Again, I really have no idea on this.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I'm gonna go with...El Cid.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Based on what?- A complete guess.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- You remember the horse? - No, I remember nothing.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I know the name El Cid, I've heard of El Cid but...
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Often it's a very good way to guess is just the most familiar name.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Well done, you've done it.- Go on!
0:20:25 > 0:20:26CLAPPING
0:20:26 > 0:20:32CJ, which British statesman and naval leader was assassinated
0:20:32 > 0:20:37by the IRA in Donegal Bay in 1979?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I think that was Lord Mountbatten.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48I think it was. You're quite right, Lord Mountbatten is the answer.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51So, two points each.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57Which event, Lisa, in 1282 led to the French King of Naples
0:20:57 > 0:21:02and Sicily, Charles of Anjou being overthrown?
0:21:09 > 0:21:14This is going to have to be another complete guess.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I'm going to say...
0:21:17 > 0:21:20the Island Mass.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24That's the wrong answer, I'm afraid.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29It was the Sicilian Vespers in 1282.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33CJ, you can take the round and stay in the contest
0:21:33 > 0:21:35if you get this right.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Which European monarch declared four state bankruptcies
0:21:38 > 0:21:41between 1557 and 1596?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Rudolf II of Hungary I know absolutely nothing about.
0:22:00 > 0:22:07I think the dates are OK for Philip II of Spain,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10latter half of the 16th century, I think.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15And he did have a lot of armadas to pay for, didn't he,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18which kept getting shipwrecked.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Um...
0:22:20 > 0:22:24I've really got nothing to go on here.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30On the little scraps of information I have
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I will try Philip II of Spain.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34The scraps were enough, you're right.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Well done, CJ.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Did you know that, Lisa?- No.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42I don't think you really knew it either, CJ, but you got there.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Congratulations. Lisa, you were beaten by our Egghead
0:22:45 > 0:22:48and as a result you can't help your team in the final round.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Please, both of you come back and rejoin your team mates.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58it's time for the final round, General Knowledge.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01If you lost your head to head you can't compete in this round.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05So, Angela, Lisa and Theresa from the Pints and Jets
0:23:05 > 0:23:09ad Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:11 > 0:23:16OK, Phil and Ray, you're playing to win the Pints and Jets £4,000.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27This time the questions are all general knowledge,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30you are allowed to confer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Pints and Jets, the question is, are your two brains
0:23:33 > 0:23:36better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Do you want the first set of questions or the second?
0:23:39 > 0:23:45I think we've gone first all the way through, so we might as well stick with it. First, please.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Very best of luck, gentlemen.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Who did Adrian Edmondson marry in 1985?
0:23:59 > 0:24:00It's absolutely amazing,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I actually opened their joint bank account,
0:24:03 > 0:24:07so it's Jennifer Saunders, I believe, yes.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Jennifer Saunders, Jeremy.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11It is Jennifer Saunders.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I'm relieved you remembered that accurately.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Eggheads, which creature is a national symbol of Canada?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25That would be the beaver.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27You're right, it is.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28One apiece.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33Now this can end suddenly, challengers, so keep focused.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35In an American college, a junior
0:24:35 > 0:24:39would be in which year of a four-year course?
0:24:41 > 0:24:47I think it's second possibly because I think first,
0:24:47 > 0:24:53I'm sure there's something before Junior at American colleges,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56it's only something at the back of my brain.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Something, junior, senior? - I think so.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02It wouldn't be third for any reason, would it?
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Why would it be third? I can't think third, it could be.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08We'll go for second.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Second, yeah, We'll go for second, Jeremy.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14First is too obvious, but we might be missing the point completely here.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15We'll go for second.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18You're saying second, because it was in your mind, Ray?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Something in the background.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It's third, I'm afraid. I'm afraid you got it wrong.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28OK, Eggheads, to take the advantage.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32What is the name of the colonel who works with Professor Higgins in the musical My Fair Lady?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Pickering, everyone?- Pickering.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41What's the name of the colonel
0:25:41 > 0:25:44who works with Professor Higgins in the musical My Fair Lady?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- It's Colonel Pickering. - You're right, well done.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50So, you really need this, Pints and Jets.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54If you don't get this, the Eggheads will have won the contest.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59The Queen's messengers who deliver important documents by hand
0:25:59 > 0:26:02to British embassies and consulates around the world
0:26:02 > 0:26:04are known by what nickname?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Have you any idea?
0:26:15 > 0:26:16I don't think it's Golden Whippets.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18No, it doesn't sound right, does it?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Copper Lurchers? Why not Golden Whippets?
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- Whippet's a dog.- So is a greyhound, so is a lurcher, they're all dogs.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29No, what I'm saying is, dogs from up north,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31why would they be associated with...
0:26:31 > 0:26:33True, OK.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36It sounds like it should be Silver Greyhound, shouldn't it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Copper Lurchers.- Copper Lurchers.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Silver Greyhound seems more likely to me, because if they're going fast,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47well, I don't know if they're going fast or not,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49but if they're getting places,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and of course you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55That's a bit tenuous, Phil.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Yeah, go on then, Silver Greyhound. - Silver Greyhounds, Jeremy.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Is the correct answer. - Well done, mate.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Eggheads, if you get this right, you've won the contest
0:27:06 > 0:27:10and you've knocked our Pints and Jets out.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Which Oscar-winning actor reportedly dumped Isabelle Adjani,
0:27:14 > 0:27:19his pregnant girlfriend of four years, by fax?
0:27:23 > 0:27:28I think it was Daniel Day-Lewis. Of the three...
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- It's certainly not Clooney. - It's not Clooney.- It's not Clooney.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- I've never heard of Brody doing anything frankly.- No.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- I think Daniel Day-Lewis.- Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I just, you know...
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- It's one of those things that sort of floats around.- Yes.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46- OK?- Yeah, OK.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- You two happy with Daniel Day-Lewis? - Yeah.- No idea at all, Kevin.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Yeah, we're not absolutely certain.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55It's not George Clooney.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58We're not absolutely certain between the other two,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00we think it's Daniel Day-Lewis though.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- You've ruled out Adrian Brody? - Yeah.- Yes.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07You're right to, it is Daniel Day-Lewis.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Congratulations, Eggheads! You've won.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Commiserations, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21they still reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations! Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains
0:28:34 > 0:28:35to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38£5,000 says they don't.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Until then, goodbye.
