0:00:04 > 0:00:09These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably 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, where a team of five challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are the Senior Moments.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44The team have been friends for 50 years,
0:00:44 > 0:00:49after studying at Peterhouse, Cambridge, during the '60s. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Hello there. I'm Michael.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm 66 years of age and I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm John. I'm 66 and a retired maritime arbitrator.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Peter. I'm 66. I'm a semi-retired education advisor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Brian.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09I'm 67, a one-time lecturer.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Mike. I'm 66 and I'm a retired actuary.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Michael, you are team captain.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- I am, yes. - You thought about that for a moment.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23- Yes.- That's not one of the questions. Don't worry, you can confer, if you want.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We're a very democratic side.
0:01:25 > 0:01:31- You actually almost competed together on the first series of University Challenge.- Yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34We were all keen and ready and raring to go
0:01:34 > 0:01:39as young fellows would and they changed the format of the programme.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43So... For years and years and years it's been a knockout situation,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47but in those days, it was just A against B, C against D, etcetera.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51So we found ourselves sort of pushed down the queue.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Also, in those days, they did not have rather mature looking people
0:01:56 > 0:02:00who you get on, say, the Open University teams nowadays.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- They had to be bona fide undergraduates.- Which you were.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- And we'd all graduated by then. - So, you had a chance and they came back...
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- They took it away. - Here we are, how many years later?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- 45.- And life has just gone like that? - Absolutely.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18When we remember.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Good luck. I hope we can make amends.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Everyday there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33So, the Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37which means £8,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41The first head to head battle will be on Food and Drink.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Tell me, which one of you wants to take that?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46And against which Egghead.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Who do you recommend? - You're always eating.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Yes, I know.- John's the stoutest. - Well, that's true, yes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56You think it's got to be me cos I'm the stoutest.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The stoutest player. Is that...?
0:02:59 > 0:03:04I don't know if I am the stoutest. I think they've picked on me as a scapegoat.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08It's one of the categories we would prefer not to have seen!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- At least it's up first. - It is. So I can get it over with.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15OK, John. So, it's you against which one?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I'll try Chris. He looks like me, as if he eats well.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Hang on. Where's the logic? Never mind.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26John, from the Senior Moments, against Chris.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34John, multiple choice, three questions. First set or second?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I'll go first, please.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43What ingredient is used to thicken and bind a hollandaise sauce?
0:03:47 > 0:03:48I'm not absolutely certain.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I don't think it's suet...
0:03:53 > 0:03:56..and I'm fairly certain it's not rice flour.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I'm going to go for egg yolk.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00You are right, John.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Nice one. Off the blocks.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Chris, the large rooted variety of chicory,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10developed in Holland in the latter half of the 18th century,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13has commonly been used as a substitute for what?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18It's not sugar - that's the sugar beet.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Years and years ago,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25you used to be able to buy coffee and chicory essence
0:04:25 > 0:04:27which you added boiling water to,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30to make a revolting cup of brown liquid.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32So, it had chicory in it.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34It wouldn't be tea. It's coffee.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37You're right, Chris. The answer is coffee.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Question two, John.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Scotch Bonnet is a variety of which cooking ingredient?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I have absolutely no idea.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52This is why they chose me as the scapegoat on this round.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Basil's obviously a herb and pepper's a condiment.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02And I can't think that those would be called Scotch Bonnet.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Because they both come from foreign countries.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I'll go for mushroom.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Mike, you're nodding sagely.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I would suggest the same.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Yeah, and you would have been wrong too.- Oh!- It's pepper.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Next question, Chris.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24The cocktail brandy Alexander comprises cognac, creme de cacao,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28a nutmeg garnish and which other ingredient?
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Now, I've seen a literary reference to the Alexander...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38a creamy Alexander. So, logically it would be cream.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Yes, you are right again.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Two points to the Eggheads now.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Challengers, need to get this right, John, or you'll be out.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Here's your question. Ready?- I am.
0:05:52 > 0:05:58The highly rated and expensive wine, Patris, is made almost entirely from which grape?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Well, I'm meant to know a little bit about wine.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12It's from the Bordeaux region, from the northern bank.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18And the cabernet sauvignon grape is grown more on the southern bank.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21So, I think, I'm going for Merlot.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24You're right.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Well, done, John. 2-2.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28But with this, Chris, you can take it.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34What type of food is the French croque-en-bouche?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Croque-en-bouche.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Doesn't sound, sort of, romantic enough somehow
0:06:47 > 0:06:49to be a French dessert.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55And it doesn't really sound like a soup. It's something in the mouth.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I'd go with smoked meat, with no great hopes of success.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I'll say smoked meat.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Judith lives in France. Have you had this recently, Judith?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Am I allowed to say what I think it is?- Yes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13I think it's a pile of profiterole made into a sort of cake.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15And so it's a dessert.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It is a dessert. Chris, sorry.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21But it stays at 2-2. Sudden Death, we move to now.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26I will not give you multiple choice. I want an answer from you, John.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Here's your first Sudden Death question.
0:07:28 > 0:07:36A processed form of which cereal comes in grades, including pinhead, rough, medium and fine?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I'd have to have a guess, I think, at wheat.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48No, the answer is oats.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53So, Chris, this is yours for the round.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Savoury ducks is another name for which food,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00associated with the north of England, consisting of meatballs
0:08:00 > 0:08:03made with pork offal, spices, breadcrumbs and onions?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07They wouldn't call them this in the USA, but they're faggots.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10They are indeed faggots.
0:08:10 > 0:08:16Called savoury ducks, because the little balls resemble small birds.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Chris, you've taken it. Well done.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22John, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25You can't help your team in the final round.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Both of you, come back to the studio.
0:08:29 > 0:08:35The challengers have lost one Brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no Brains.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Next subject is Film and TV. Who wants this
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and against which Egghead?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Film and TV.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Film and TV.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46No, no volunteers.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47I'll go for that one.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52Michael, sudden moment of absolute energy there.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Yes?- I'm glad you noticed it. - Who do you want?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I'd like to pick Judith.
0:08:59 > 0:09:05So, Michael from the Senior Moments, versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Film and TV in turn.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Michael, first or second set of questions?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17First, please.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Which singer played the title role
0:09:22 > 0:09:25in the original, 1960 film version of Ocean's Eleven?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Bing would probably have been too long in the tooth by then.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38And Elvis was bouncing around and wiggling his hips and that.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I'll go for Frank Sinatra.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Great stuff, Michael. You got it right.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Judith, your first question.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50In Eastenders, what's the maiden name of Stacey, played by Lacey Turner?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56She's a Slater, isn't she?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00I'm not asking. With conviction, she's a Slater.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- This is your favourite show? - I'm addicted to it at the moment.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06You're right. It is Slater.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Second question, Michael.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Potsie and Ralph Malph
0:10:10 > 0:10:15were characters in which TV comedy series of the '70s and '80s?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I'm drawing a bow at a venture here and going for Happy Days.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Must be 25 years ago. You're right. Happy Days it is.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Judith, RTE is the state broadcaster in which country?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Radio Television Espana, maybe.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Spain.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I don't believe you got that wrong. It's Ireland.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Oh, no!- Radio Television Eireann.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Eireann. It could have been Spain, couldn't it?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Yeah, it could have been.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Michael, this is looking good now.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Judith has stumbled. Your third question will give you the round.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Who did director Peter Bogdanovich cast, as the female lead,
0:11:04 > 0:11:10in his films The Last Picture Show, Daisy Miller and At Long Last Love?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Sally Field?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- You asking or telling? - Sally Field.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26You're wrong. Cybill Shepherd.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28So, Judith, off the hook
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- and on the spot.- As usual.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Victoria Woods' spoof soap opera,
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Acorn Antiques, was set on the outskirts of which fictional town?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48If you get this one wrong, you're a goner.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Yup. And it's going to have to be a pure guess.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Which one sounds the best?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Derbyville, Leedston...
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Manchesterford sounds so clumsy, I can't believe it's that one.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I'm going to chance my arm and say Derbyville.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08You've lost your arm, because... and I follow the logic.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I thought, it couldn't be right.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- But it is Manchesterford. - That is a very...
0:12:13 > 0:12:14It's a very clumsy name.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Sorry.- It's all right. - Man-CHEST-erford.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Man-CHEST-erford was the name, according to CJ.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21It's still clumsy.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23It is clumsy, but it's true.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- I believe you. - Sometimes the truth is clumsy.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- I believe you.- You won't be seeing us in the final round.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Michael, well done. Well done, Senior Moments.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36You've taken on an Egghead and emerged triumphant.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40You're on your way. Do, both of you, come back to the studio.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44The challengers have lost one Brain from the final round.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Eggheads have also lost one Brain. Next subject is Geography.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Who will be playing in this round
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and who would you like to take on?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Either of us. Shall I go?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Yes.- OK. Right, now, who shall I take on?
0:13:00 > 0:13:06- Peter against whom?- CJ, I think. - CJ. Yeah.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08CJ on geography. Nice one, OK.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Peter, from the Senior Moments, against CJ.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18So, Peter, first or second?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20First.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Said in a very decisive way and we like that.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Which Asian country is located at the southern tip of the Malay peninsula?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, it's actually Singapore.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39One of the few south Asian countries I haven't been to,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42but I can work it out by a process of elimination.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45And you're right, it is Singapore.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51OK, CJ, the Sea of Galilee is a large inland body of water
0:13:51 > 0:13:53in which country?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58It's in Jordan, Jeremy.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Nope.- Isn't it?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- No.- I thought it was. - It's in Israel.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I didn't even think about that. I thought it was.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Maybe not thinking about it was the problem.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14This is looking good, Peter.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Your second question.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21The Princess Royal's residence, Gatcombe Park, is in which county?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Most of the Royals seem to inhabit Gloucestershire
0:14:27 > 0:14:29and that part of the world.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'll go for Gloucestershire.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35You're right, it is Gloucestershire.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I'm trying to work out your logic.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Was it that that's where Royals seem to be hanging out?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43They cluster for protection, don't they?
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- They cluster. They go round in gangs.- Yup. Party.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52OK, CJ, let's see if the panic mounts.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Yonkers is a town just north of which US city?
0:14:59 > 0:15:03I'm going to jump straight in. Maybe I'll get it wrong again.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05But I think it's New York.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You're right. Confidence returning.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10So, Eggheads 1, Challengers 2.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Your third question now, Peter.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17If you take this, you've won the round and knocked CJ out.
0:15:17 > 0:15:24What is the present day name of the country formerly known as Nyasaland?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Well, it's not Namibia.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Because that was South West Africa.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I'm pretty sure it's Malawi.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37That's right. Well done.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39You've taken the round.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43You've knocked out CJ. Taken on an Egghead and emerged triumphant.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Good news for the Challengers. Peter, you can play in the final round.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Both of you, come back to the studio.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54The Challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56The Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Our last subject is Sport.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Peterhouse people, who from Senior Moments
0:16:02 > 0:16:05will be playing in the Sport round?
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- Toss up. What does the captain say? - Make a choice.- Do you have a coin to toss?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- It's only two of you left here. - Right, do you want to give it a go?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Yup.- Yup. - Mike?- I'm the sacrificial volunteer.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- All right. Come down from Thurso to play, correct?- Mm hm.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26- How far is that?- Far enough to learn an awful lot of sporting facts.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- I'm sorry I didn't think about doing it.- Not so great. Who do you want to play?
0:16:31 > 0:16:37I think, I'm going to pick Daphne. Daphne's been smiling at me throughout the programme.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I feel there must a reason.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40- She wants to be chosen.- Yes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Mike from the Senior Moments, against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Multiple choice questions. First or second set, Mike?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'll go first, please.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05In March 2008, which footballer won his 100th international cap for England against France?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Well, now.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'm able to say I've heard of all of them.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17A good start.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I believe David Beckham has just celebrated a 100th something
0:17:20 > 0:17:23and it must have been his England cap.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I shall go for David Beckham.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Superb, Mike. You're right.
0:17:27 > 0:17:33Daphne, in the sport of golf, how many shots under par
0:17:33 > 0:17:37is a hole in one, on a par three?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Logically, it must be two, mustn't it?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50There's a par three and you hit it in one. Two?
0:17:50 > 0:17:54That's your answer, right? You're supposed to take three shots
0:17:54 > 0:17:56and you take one. Three minus one.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Oh, good, that's right?- Two.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01No trick questions.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Mike, the Epsom Derby is restricted to what kind of runners?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I remember, as a tiny child, telling my mother
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I wanted to go in for the Derby, because I was three.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15I would remember that
0:18:15 > 0:18:18because the Epsom Derby must be for three year olds.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Ha-ha-ha! Lovely, yes. I'm so pleased you're right.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Well done.
0:18:25 > 0:18:31Daphne, in 1977, who became the first male British tennis player,
0:18:31 > 0:18:36of the Open era, to appear in a Grand Slam singles final?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It could be any of them.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45But I will say...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49..I will say...
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Mark Cox. I don't know.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Mike, out of interest, do you know?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57John Lloyd.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Yeah.- Was it John Lloyd?- It was.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04- You're wrong, Daphne. - I know. I knew I would be.- OK.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Question three for you, Mike.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09If you get this right, you've smashed another Egghead
0:19:09 > 0:19:12and you will take your place in the final round.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Who was the world snooker champion between 1964 and 1968?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Dear me! That was before colour TV.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I seem to remember John Pulman as a billiards man,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32rather than a snooker man.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37And Fred Davis was certainly a big name. So was Ray Reardon.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45I've vaguely got Ray Reardon later than that.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Fred Davis.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Well, that is wrong, I'm afraid,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53because John Pulman was a snooker man.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- Was he?- And he was world snooker champion in those years.
0:19:58 > 0:20:04So, you now have the chance, Daphne, to pull it back.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Since 1985, the Greyhound Derby has been held at which venue?
0:20:16 > 0:20:20I think that's Wimbledon.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24You are right. It is Wimbledon Stadium. Well done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:30Two points apiece. After three questions each, scores level, we move to Sudden Death.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35To make it that bit harder, the questions will not be multiple choice.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41Mike, the Englishman Bob Nudd MBE is a four-time world champion in which sport?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Oh...dear!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I have, I'm afraid, never heard of Mr Nudd.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52MBE or otherwise.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53- Englishman?- Yup.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58The Englishman Bob Nudd is a four time world champion in which sport?
0:21:01 > 0:21:07Weightlifting. For no reason other than it came suddenly into my head.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- I love the suddenness of your... wrong answer.- Stance.- Your guesses.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- That is wrong.- I thought it might be.- It's angling.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Angling? Well.- Yup. Bob Nudd is an angler.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Daphne, can you take the round?
0:21:21 > 0:21:28Which South African driver won the 1979 Formula One world championship, driving a Ferrari?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Jody Scheckter?
0:21:38 > 0:21:44- Astonishing performance, Daphne. You're right.- Is it?- Yes.- It's the only South African I could think of!
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Well done.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Mike, you were beaten by our Egghead, but that was tight.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52You can't help your team in the final round.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Would you both rejoin your team-mates?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59This is what we've been playing towards. The final round.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01It's General Knowledge, gentlemen.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Those who lost your head to heads
0:22:03 > 0:22:08won't be allowed to take part. John and Mike, from the Senior Moments,
0:22:08 > 0:22:13and Judith and CJ, from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Michael, Peter and Brian, you're playing to win the Senior Moments £8,000.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Kevin, Daphne and Chris, you are playing for something money can't buy -
0:22:23 > 0:22:24the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:28 > 0:22:34The questions are General Knowledge. You can confer with each other, but not with those behind you.
0:22:34 > 0:22:40Senior Moments, the question is are your three Brains better than the Eggheads three?
0:22:40 > 0:22:45- Michael, Peter and Brian, first or second?- First.
0:22:48 > 0:22:55Senior Moments, the portrait of which American President is printed on the front of a US dollar bill?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05It's so long since I've seen one.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I think it's George Washington, but...
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I have a feeling it is.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15George Washington seems the obvious answer, as being THE man.
0:23:15 > 0:23:22- Yes.- Yes, I think we're inclined towards George Washington.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23You're right.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- Easy to come a cropper on a question like that.- Absolutely.
0:23:27 > 0:23:34Eggheads, what word of Yiddish origin refers to the stage routine of a stand up comedian?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Shtick.- Shtick.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43That is his, or her, shtick, Jeremy.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Shtick. You're quite right. One each.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Your turn. What name is given to any language
0:23:51 > 0:23:57that is used as a means of communication between speakers of different native languages?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- I think the middle one.- It is, yes. - Lingua Franca.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Lingua Franca, it is. Well done.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Next question to you, Eggheads.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17The French city of Limoges is famous for the production of what?
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- Porcelain.- It's a famous centre of production for porcelain.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30It is for porcelain. Oh, we're cracking through these now!
0:24:30 > 0:24:37Your third question, Senior Moments. Get this right, you really put the pressure on them.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40What normally runs through a ship's hawsepipes?
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Well, you talk about the hawses, don't you? Which are the anchors.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Yes.- The anchor cable, I'm sure.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57- We reckon it's the anchor cable. - Because you talk about the...?
0:24:57 > 0:24:58The hawses.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Which are?- Steel cables.- Cables.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Perfect. You're right. Anchor cable.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08So, you've pushed them. Eggheads, if you get this wrong,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11the prize money goes to the challengers
0:25:11 > 0:25:15and you suffer another dent to your reputation.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18During World War II, Karl Donitz
0:25:18 > 0:25:22was in charge of which aspect of Germany's military machine?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30He was the commander of the U-boat force.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Submarines.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Submarines is correct. - At the end of the war,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39he succeeded Hitler as the supreme German leader.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- He was Fuhrer for a few days. - After the suicide?- Yup.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46After three questions each, the scores are level.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48We now go to Sudden Death.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51These questions are not multiple choice.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56You can be wiped away in an instant here, Challengers. So watch out.
0:25:56 > 0:26:04Which former manager of The Spice Girls devised the Pop Idol TV format with Simon Cowell?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- No idea.- I don't know any managers, or anybody.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Not since Brian Martin.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18Is there any sort of person we can guess, at all?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20George Bernard Shaw, perhaps?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Probably not, actually.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- George Bernard Shaw? - No. That's not serious.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Can't even think of an appropriate name.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- I'm sorry, we're going to pass. - Have to pass?- Yup.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Are you sure? You want to take a stab at it? Anybody?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Nothing. You want me to accept a pass?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Afraid so.- Yup.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Eggheads, do you know the answer?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Simon Fuller.- Simon Fuller is the answer.- Never heard of him.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50So, Eggheads, now the initiative passes to you.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52If you get this right, you have won
0:26:52 > 0:26:57and the money is snatched away from our Senior Moments over here.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Who was the Greek god of storms and winds?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Who was the Greek god of storms and winds?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07For the contest.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Is it Aeolus?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Well, winds is, yeah, winds is Aeolus, isn't it?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13So, I think storms as well.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Yes, I think Aeolus.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20And there were various other gods of the directional winds.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25West wind and so forth. But Aeolus was the god of the winds.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31Because they kept it in the back, didn't they, on the Odyssey and opened it?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35You froze. Now you've got an answer?
0:27:35 > 0:27:41No. In Greek mythology, there were various deities who had aspects of wind.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45The god of the west wind, north wind, east wind and so forth.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51And somebody like Poseidon could also be involved in brewing up storms.
0:27:51 > 0:27:57But the god of the winds generally, who kept the winds in a bag, was Aeolus.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00So, we're going for Aeolus.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04It was Aeolus, the Greek god of storms and winds.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Well done, Eggheads. A tight contest, but you've won.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Commiserations to our challengers.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25You won't be going home with £8,000. But it was so close! For a moment, you looked...
0:28:25 > 0:28:31They were actually on the verge of packing it in. The money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations. A great performance.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Who will beat you?
0:28:35 > 0:28:41Join us next time, to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45£9,000 will say they don't. Till then, goodbye.
