0:00:04 > 0:00:09These 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 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of
0:00:26 > 0:00:29five quiz challengers pit their wits against possibly
0:00:29 > 0:00:31the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36You might recognise them, as they are goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:42And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today are Duet.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46The team's name stands for Durham University Eggheads Team,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49so quake in your boots!
0:00:49 > 0:00:54And they've got a 100% quizzing record played, played one, won one.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Let's meet them.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi. My name's Tom, I'm 21 and I'm studying Geophysics.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm Simon.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'm 21 and I'm an English student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Richard. I'm 20 and I'm a Geology student.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi. I'm Henry. I'm 23 and I study Anthropology and Geography.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hi. I'm Tris.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I'm 20 and I'm a History student.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- So Tom, you're all students at Durham University?- We are indeed. - Beautiful city.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21It is. It's quiet at times and yeah,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25but mainly based around the university which is very nice.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27It's almost the whole city is the campus.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Do you all study different things or the same things?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Well, I know Richard from our course and I'm a geophysicist as I said...
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Geophysicist, yeah.- But we know each other just from Durham.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41It's not very big, it's easy to meet people, I suppose,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43yeah, and also college.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And you're all impossibly young...
0:01:45 > 0:01:5020, 21, 23. I mean how can you know anything at the age of 21?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Well, we'll find out, won't we!- Yes, we will. Let's leave it there.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over
0:02:00 > 0:02:05to the next show. It would be great money to pay off your student loans with. So, Duet, the Eggheads
0:02:05 > 0:02:10have won the last four games which means £5,000 says you
0:02:10 > 0:02:12can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16The first head to head battle will be on the subject of Science.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Challengers, we've got a geophysicist, and we've got
0:02:19 > 0:02:24a geology, geography... we've got serious firepower here. Who wants to play?
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- I think that will be me, I think. - Richard?- We'll play Richard.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33And which Egghead would you like to knock some sense into?
0:02:33 > 0:02:39I think I'll go for Judith, please.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Judith, you blinked in a really weary way there!
0:02:43 > 0:02:44SHE LAUGHS
0:02:44 > 0:02:47All right. Richard from Duet, now that's encouraging for you. Richard
0:02:47 > 0:02:51from Duet versus Judith from the Eggheads, to ensure there's no
0:02:51 > 0:02:54conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56So Richard, are you ready?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- I am, yeah.- Are you about to get into the outside world or are you still studying?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05I've just finished my finals, actually, so I'll be looking for jobs quite shortly.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I've not nailed one yet but a few application forms have gone out.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11This could be like a job interview. You take Judith apart...
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- I hope so. Some talent scouts may see me.- They may see you.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Everyone will want to employ you if you beat the Eggheads. It's looking good! I say that,
0:03:18 > 0:03:23but you haven't started yet! I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions on Science.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner
0:03:26 > 0:03:29so we're operating a pretty simple system here and you can choose,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Richard, the first or the second set of questions.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Richard, which hormone is normally released during stressful situations
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and prepares an animal for fight or flight?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Right. Well, I can rule out insulin, because that is something to do with
0:03:51 > 0:03:53regulating blood sugar, I think.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57I'm pretty sure it's adrenaline,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59so yeah, adrenaline.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01That's your answer, and it's right, Richard. Well, done.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03APPLAUSE
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Durham students off to a flying start. Judith, which
0:04:06 > 0:04:10word describes the act of cutting into or operating on a live animal?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18How horrible!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20What a beastly question.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Viticulture is to do with growing vines and vilification is what
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I might do to the question setter if I get this wrong,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30so I think it's vivisection.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Yes. Horrible question for the other kind of reason, you're right.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Vivisection.
0:04:35 > 0:04:42Richard, typically a Barchan sand dune takes the form of which shape?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Could you spell that, please? - Barchan is spelt B-A-R-C-H-A-N.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Barchan...
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Erm...mmm...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I don't know.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Has it come up in geology?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Not memorably. Hopefully not.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It might have come up but you were not in the lecture!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I've only missed one lecture ever, so I doubt it!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Well, maybe it was that one!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I don't think it could be sphere.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21I'll try crescent. That sounds most likely to me, I think.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Well, done, Durham University.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You got it right.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27APPLAUSE
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Judith, in which field of science is computerised
0:05:31 > 0:05:33axial tomography normally used?
0:05:36 > 0:05:42Well, that's a CAT scan, so it's used in medicine.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45You're absolutely right. It is a CAT scan and it is used in medicine.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49So neck and neck as we go to our third multiple-choice question.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Good luck, Richard. In organic chemistry, what is
0:05:51 > 0:05:53the simplest aromatic compound?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- HE SIGHS - Chemistry isn't my strong point.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I'll rule out acetic acid and...
0:06:10 > 0:06:15I think I'll go for benzene. I think that's...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Did you say it was aromatic? - I'll read the question again.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20In organic chemistry, what is the simplest aromatic compound?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Yeah. I think I'll go for benzene.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28Is that a guess or is that a sort of geology knowledge style thing?
0:06:28 > 0:06:29It's an educated guess, I think.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31It's a good one. Benzene is right.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Well, done. - APPLAUSE
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Pressure on you, Judith, from our student.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Which is the only big cat that cannot fully retract its claws?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I wonder. I mean I'm sort of thinking
0:06:50 > 0:06:54about a leopard and the reason I'm thinking
0:06:54 > 0:06:58about a leopard is it climbs trees a lot and they're forever hanging
0:06:58 > 0:07:03along, I mean lying along, branches, so maybe it keeps its claws
0:07:03 > 0:07:08out in order to be able to climb the tree at any time, as it were,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12so I think I would say leopard.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15That's the reasoning behind it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Judith, cheetah is the answer. Leopard is wrong.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I'm sorry, you won't be playing in the final round.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Our student, Richard, took on one of the Eggheads
0:07:23 > 0:07:25and was a bigger Egghead.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30He's emerged triumphant. Good news for the challengers. Do come back to the studio.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33As it stands, the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round
0:07:33 > 0:07:37while the challengers have lost no brains. Our Durham students Duet doing really well.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Next subject is Film and Televisions, guys.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Which of you wants to take that on? Film and TV?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- What do you think? Henry or Simon? - Old stuff and new stuff.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Shall I take it? - I think yes. Simon, yes.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- OK. I'll take it.- OK. Simon, who would you like to play against?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Who do you reckon it should be? - I don't know.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59- I think Chris is looking pretty good on the end there.- OK.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Unanimous decision, I'll take Chris on, please.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Simon from Duet against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Do go to the question room now.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12So I'm gonna ask each of you three questions on Film and TV in turn.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Simon, would you like the first set of questions or the second?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I'll take the first please, Jeremy.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Which 2008 Hollywood film directed
0:08:24 > 0:08:29by Roland Emerick tells the tale of a prehistoric tribe?
0:08:36 > 0:08:42Well, I saw this at the cinema fairly soon after it came out.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I believe that's 10,000 BC.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Yup. If you've seen it you will know.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- You're right. Well, done. - APPLAUSE
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Chris, your first question. Which actor who appeared in
0:08:56 > 0:08:59the film "Three Men And A Baby"
0:08:59 > 0:09:00was originally cast to play the
0:09:00 > 0:09:04part of Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Well, I can't see Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones
0:09:13 > 0:09:16because he'd already got the image as sort of Magnum PI
0:09:16 > 0:09:19with the moustache.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Er...I don't think Steve Guttenberg is
0:09:21 > 0:09:25right physically for Indiana, so it's probably Ted Danson,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27so I'll say Ted Danson.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Daphne, do you know the answer?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Tom Selleck. - Tom Selleck is the answer to that!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Was it the moustache that was getting in your way there?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Yeah. He'd already made a career as Magnum PI.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Sorry, Chris.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Next question to you, Simon. Who won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress
0:09:48 > 0:09:53In a Leading Role for her performance in the 2004 film Vera Drake?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Well, I don't think it was Pauline Quirke.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05I don't seem to remember her being connected with that film at all.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Julie Walters, another great sort
0:10:08 > 0:10:12of British actress but no, I think it's Imelda Staunton.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Good work.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18You are right.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Chris, let's see if you can get lift-off here.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23In which 1996 film does Nicholas
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Cage play chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Aye. - HE SIGHS
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's not The Rock,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45and I think Face/Off was later, so I'll have
0:10:45 > 0:10:48a go at Con Air.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52If you can hear mumbling and
0:10:52 > 0:10:58harrumphing, it's your team mates, notably CJ who started when you said
0:10:58 > 0:11:01"it's definitely not The Rock", because it is The Rock!
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Con Air is wrong!- I thought The Rock was set on Alcatraz?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06It is!
0:11:06 > 0:11:10It is. It's still wrong. So we don't see this very much.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Chris hasn't even got a first. It might be a first, actually.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18- We don't see a situation where Chris fails to score! Simon, well done. - Thank you.- Two right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21He hasn't got any comeback. We won't ask the third question.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24You took on one of the Eggheads, emerged triumphant.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Great news for our challengers who are playing really, really well. The Durham Eggheads, Duets.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Do come back to the studio.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34So, Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36It doesn't happen very often.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38The challengers have lost no brains.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Next subject is Food and Drink.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Ooh!- I thought that might provoke an intake of breath!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- I dunno. Shall we go for Henry? - I'll field it, I think.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- That's Henry, I think.- Yep. - Henry, on Food and Drink, against which Egghead?
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- I think I'll go for Kevin.- OK. So it's Henry from Duet versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Please take your positions in the question room now.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I'll ask each of you three questions on Food and Drink.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Henry, you choose the first or second set.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I'm not one to buck the trend, so I'll go first, please.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17What type of foodstuff is Chervil...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19C-H-E-R-V-I-L?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I've come across this before.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I'm not sure what it's used for but
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I'm fairly certain it's a herb.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Correct. Well done.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35APPLAUSE
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Kevin, the term "Jerky" is used to describe a type of dried what?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- It's a type of dried meat, Jeremy. - Yes, it is, indeed.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Your question, Henry.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54In Spanish-speaking countries, what is traditionally stored in a bodega?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Bodega... I'm not entirely sure.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I don't think it's bread,
0:13:04 > 0:13:10but I'll venture a guess at olives.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15You don't sound certain.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I'm not at all.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- You're right not to be. It's wine. - Aah.- Is that the first question
0:13:20 > 0:13:22you lot have got wrong?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I think so, yes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27That's how good they are!
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Kevin, what is often used as the main ingredient
0:13:29 > 0:13:30of the Asian dish, Dahl?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36That's lentils, Jeremy.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- You're right. - Dahl is a lentil dish.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Third question.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Henry, you need to get this right. - Yep.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49By what alternative name is the kiwano fruit known?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57If you don't get this right you will not play in the final round.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01I've not heard of it before.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I don't think it's the jelly melon.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12I'm gonna guess again and hope I get lucky with yoghurt apple.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Yoghurt apple is wrong.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Sorry, Henry. It's jelly melon is the correct answer.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Henry, you were beaten by
0:14:21 > 0:14:24our Egghead so as a result, you can't help your team in
0:14:24 > 0:14:28the final round, the first of our Durham University Eggheads to lose.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Please both of you come back to the studio.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round
0:14:35 > 0:14:38whilst he Eggheads have lost two. Our last subject is...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Have a guess.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Sport.- I knew it, I knew it!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- And you haven't got a sports person there, is that right?- We don't.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- No we don't.- Hill-walking, big on hill-walking! Well, yeah, basically...
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Well, it might come up. So who wants to play and against whom?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I'm not terribly strong on sport.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- I'm feeling fluky.- You know about Formula 1.- I'm feeling fluky.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04My family will be just laughing so much now, but I'll give it a shot.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08OK, Tom. It's you versus which Egghead?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- It's gotta be CJ or Daphne? - We'll go for Daphne, I think.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Daphne from the Eggheads, against
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Tom from Duet, please take your positions.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Are you ready, Tom? - I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- Three questions on Sport, multiple choice. First or second set for you. Which do you want?- I will...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I'll go second. Buck the trend.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Daphne, which shot would you execute in tennis in order
0:15:36 > 0:15:41to make the ball stop abruptly, usually just after clearing the net?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Aah. I think...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I'm not absolutely sure.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I think that's a drop shot.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Are you pretending to be uncertain?
0:15:55 > 0:16:00No. I'm... I thought it was drop shot and then you put lob in and I thought
0:16:00 > 0:16:02aah, is it?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06No, and I'm trying to remember because I used to play doubles and
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- you stand at the net and you go like that, don't you?- You do...- Don't you?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12A bit of back spin. Yes, I think so.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Drop shot is right. Well done. - SHE LAUGHS
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I thought we had her for a second there, Tom.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23In which sport do players compete for four so-called majors over the course of the year?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Well, I'm hoping that's golf.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32It is golf. You're right.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Thank goodness.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Daphne, your second question.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41A suicide squeeze play is a high risk, high-reward play in which US sport?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49SHE SIGHS High risk?
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Jeremy, I can't even imagine what it looks like or...
0:16:54 > 0:16:56SHE SIGHS
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- I...- Suicide squeeze play.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04My apologies to the team.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I've never heard of it.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I'm going to go for American Football,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13because I have no idea.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Any of you Eggheads know?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Oh, it's wrong! - It is wrong, actually, yeah.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I know that me saying that gives it away but Eggheads?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- I'd say baseball.- Baseball?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24My first thought was ice hockey, so...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I'm looking at it thinking 'suicide
0:17:26 > 0:17:30squeeze' sounds like two players, three players in motion together.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Why would it happen in baseball? But it is baseball.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Well, Paradise By the Dashboard Light, the Meatloaf song,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38in the middle of that, there's about 90 seconds of baseball commentary
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- and that mentions the squeeze play. - Really! Are you serious?
0:17:41 > 0:17:42- Serious.- Incredible!
0:17:42 > 0:17:47Baseball is the correct answer, so, initiative
0:17:47 > 0:17:49passes to our students here.
0:17:49 > 0:17:55Tom, mufflers invented by Jack Broughton were a precursor to which piece of sporting equipment?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I mean perhaps Broughton is a clue.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08I wouldn't say studded football boots because, well,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11it doesn't seem like that, does it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16It could be... Broughton is a brand of shin pads is it...?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18but I think I'm gonna go for boxing gloves, just because
0:18:18 > 0:18:20it sounds right, you know, having mufflers
0:18:20 > 0:18:22just to kind of, so you don't
0:18:22 > 0:18:23hurt your hand or whatever.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Boxing gloves.- You surprise me there.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31You said it's a brand of shin pads and then you moved to boxing gloves?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- Well, is it?- I've taken boxing gloves as your answer.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I don't wanna persuade you that it's not because you're absolutely right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40APPLAUSE
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Daphne...- I know.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45If you don't get this right, you will also join your team
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- in the sin bin. - SHE LAUGHS
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Which famous goalkeeper
0:18:50 > 0:18:53made his last appearance for his country against Brazil in
0:18:53 > 0:18:57the 1986 World Cup at the age of 41?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05SHE SIGHS
0:19:07 > 0:19:111986... SHE SIGHS
0:19:11 > 0:19:161986...erm...
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Oh, dear.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20I'm absolutely hopeless.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31SHE SIGHS Peter Shilton.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Is wrong.- I knew! Pat Jennings?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39There is some justice. Pat Jennings, if you'd guessed that right,
0:19:39 > 0:19:40it would have been amazing...
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Yeah.- Mind you, your guesses are very good most of the time so,
0:19:43 > 0:19:48great news for the challengers because it means your captain will be with you in the final round,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52so both of you, Tom and Daphne, please come back to the studio.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54We have now reached the final round,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57which as always is General Knowledge. Those of you who lost
0:19:57 > 0:20:00your head to heads won't take part in this round.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Who was that? Remind me. It's Henry from Duet
0:20:02 > 0:20:08and Judith, Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now
0:20:08 > 0:20:10leave the studio.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16OK. Tom, Simon, Richard and Tris you are playing to win Duet £5,000.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Kevin and CJ you are playing for something that money can't buy...
0:20:20 > 0:20:22the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:22 > 0:20:28I'll ask each team three questions in turn. This time the questions are all general knowledge and you are
0:20:28 > 0:20:32allowed to confer with each other, so Duet, the question is,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:20:35 > 0:20:40And you can also tell me whether you wanna go first or second?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43We'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49The first set of questions for you, Duet. Good luck. Which car company
0:20:49 > 0:20:54is famous for producing the Phantom and Silver Shadow models?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Well, it's definitely...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Rolls Royce.- Yeah. It's Rolls Royce.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- No doubt?- No doubt.- You're right... it's Rolls Royce. Well, done.
0:21:07 > 0:21:14Eggheads, who made his film debut as Clinton Reno in Love Me Tender in 1956?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Presley.- It was Elvis.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Oh, it's me, isn't it?- It's you.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Elvis Presley, yes?- I think so.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- We think that's Elvis Presley, Jeremy.- It is Elvis Presley,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32named after one of his songs, or was the song named after the film?
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- I think the song came first. I stand to be corrected on that. - Song first, film second. One all.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43Duet, Touchstone, The Jester is a character in which Shakespeare play?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Touchstone, the Jester?
0:21:51 > 0:21:52You're the expert, Simon. What do you think?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Thanks, Richard.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Was it Touchstone you said, Jeremy? - Touchstone the Jester.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00And Simon, you're an English literature student.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- THEY LAUGH - No pressure at all then.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- You don't want reminding of that! - OK.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Well, I'm pretty sure it's not Macbeth.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- It's not Macbeth.- And I don't think it's Othello, either. I'm...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13fairly positive it's As You Like It.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Which of course you've ready many times!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17THEY LAUGH
0:22:17 > 0:22:20He's in there, yeah, As You Like It.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23OK, Eggheads.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Which US city was ravaged in 1871
0:22:26 > 0:22:30by a great fire that burned for days and left thousands homeless?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- I kept forgetting it's me. - Chicago.- That's Chicago.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43Yes, it is. Chicago was ravaged by the great fire in 1871.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Two points each. Now here's an idea. You get this one right, they get
0:22:47 > 0:22:49their one wrong and you go home with the money, right?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Hopefully.- That's the really simple way of doing it.
0:22:52 > 0:22:59Matelot is an old-fashioned slang word for which kind of serviceman?
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Matelot, M-A-T-E-L-O-T, is an old-fashioned slang
0:23:07 > 0:23:09word for which kind of serviceman?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I have no idea.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13I've got no idea where to start.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15My only... Matelot.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Matelot is French, isn't it.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I mean maybe in that respect you could have sailor.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Well, the other thing is, my limited English literature knowledge,
0:23:26 > 0:23:27what is that
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Matelot Sailor, is that a poem, quite a famous poem?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Yeah, but was it...
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Was there a sailor in that poem? - He doesn't have a name.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- He doesn't. No, no. - It's a difficult one.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I'm gonna say sailor, but that's just a complete guess.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Well, it's not...
0:23:49 > 0:23:53We've got some logic for sailor, haven't we, but hmmm...
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- We don't think it's pilot.- We don't.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Shall we go with our initial gut feelings? I can't remember which
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Egghead said that was always a good idea, but one of them did.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- I think, go for sailor? - I think we'll have to.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I think we'll have to go for sailor, but we're not at all sure,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- as you can tell.- You're joking!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Sailor is right.- Excellent!
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Well, done. Comes from a Dutch word meaning to share hammocks.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23- Share hammocks? Oh, dear.- Not French at all.- Oh well.- Never mind.
0:24:23 > 0:24:31So, if the Eggheads get this wrong, you've got £5,000. If not, we go to sudden death.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34OK, CJ and Kevin. Which Roman Emperor is said to have boasted
0:24:34 > 0:24:38that he found Rome a city of brick and left it a city of marble?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Augustus.- Sure?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Sure. Let me think for a second.
0:24:47 > 0:24:53Erm... Nero had more to do with burning it down.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- I'm sure it's Augustus, yeah. - Yeah?- Augustus.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Erm...Augustus, Jeremy.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03You said that with some conviction. That's what you like, isn't it?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06It was there straightaway. No doubt. You're right. It's correct.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10OK, very good on the multiple choice. After three questions,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13the scores are level. We now go to sudden death.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16To make it that bit harder, these questions are not multiple choice.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Durham University Eggheads Team,
0:25:18 > 0:25:24the name of which maligned London Borough is often said to be derived
0:25:24 > 0:25:31from the Anglo-Saxon for wild saffron or crocus valley?
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- Erm...- I have no clue.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- The malign borough. I mean...- Yeah...
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Hackney?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Tower Hamlets. Peckham?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Possibly.- Derived?
0:25:48 > 0:25:54Derived from the Anglo-Saxon for wild saffron or crocus valley?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Well, could 'ham' mean that?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Ham... Peckham, that's how
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- it's spelt.- Ham' I think means...
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- I think it means farm, actually.- OK.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- I have a feeling it does.- Can we think of any more maligned London boroughs?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Maligned London Boroughs...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Well, I think I would rule out Tower Hamlets.- I doubt that.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- It sounds quite recent anyway.- Yeah.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21We're gonna have to take a plunge.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Hackney, Brixton, Peckham.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I'd say probably not Hackney but that's not based on anything.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- I just don't think it sounds round. - OK. Shall we go for?
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- Peckham?- Peckham. Go on, we're gonna have to take a plunge with Peckham.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Peckham? Are we all happy with that?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Yeah. - Peckham.- It's wrong.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Eggheads?- We don't really know it. - We've come up with a few possibilities.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49The most maligned one we can think of is Hackney.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- There's also Walthamstow. - Think a bit further outside
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- sort of Greater London, still a London Borough but...- Hounslow?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Croydon?
0:26:59 > 0:27:04- Croydon.- Croydon! Well, oh, well! The Eggheads didn't get it...
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Wish you'd chosen the second question now!
0:27:08 > 0:27:12'Cro' is wild saffron and 'denu' is valley.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17Sorry, Duet. But it's not over. They can get this wrong.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Fingers crossed.
0:27:18 > 0:27:25Eggheads, for the contest now, in 2003, the son of which world leader signed a two
0:27:25 > 0:27:30year contract to play for the Italian football team Perugia?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32He plays football, doesn't he.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- It's Gaddafi son. - Do we know his name?
0:27:35 > 0:27:40- No, because they said the son of which world leader, so.- The leader is Colonel Gaddafi.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You're right. I asked for the leader, you've given me the leader.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48His son happened to be called Al-Saadi Gaddafi.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Commiserations, Duet.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- You're not feeling too deflated, are you?- We put up a good fight.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- We put up a good fight.- We did. We can hold our heads high.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08You certainly can. You've been brilliant, and I was at Durham University
0:28:08 > 0:28:12and I would loved you to have won today. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15They still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000 which means that
0:28:19 > 0:28:23money then rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Who will beat you? Did you know the Gaddafi question, by the way?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- No.- No, no idea.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31So maybe second/first didn't make too much of a difference?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Well... although we'd have had another chance.- You would have!
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Anyway, you're young, you've got loads of other chances.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains
0:28:41 > 0:28:42to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44£6,000 says they don't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Until then, goodbye.
