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 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five Challengers

0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35You might recognise them as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.

0:00:35 > 0:00:40They are the Eggheads. And taking on our awesome quiz champions today

0:00:40 > 0:00:43are the Tube Challengers.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46They met one another on an internet forum

0:00:46 > 0:00:49dedicated to tube challenging, which is an activity

0:00:49 > 0:00:52where the participants set out to break various world records

0:00:52 > 0:00:56associated with the London Underground. Let's meet them.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Anthony. I'm 43 and I'm an airline cargo manager.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm 49 and I'm an air freight forwarder.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Sam. I'm 20 and I'm a ticket office clerk.

0:01:07 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Andy. I'm 32 and I'm a pharmacy assistant.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hi, I'm Steve. I'm 21 and I'm a maths student.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18So welcome, Tube Challengers.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Anthony and Kevin, you are the world record holders,

0:01:21 > 0:01:23but just explain in what.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25We're the current world record holders

0:01:25 > 0:01:29for visiting all of the London Underground stations in one day.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33If you go to the end of a line, do you come straight back down the same line?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37No, you'd never break the record that way. When you get to the end of the line,

0:01:37 > 0:01:40either take a bus or run, or find the quickest possible way

0:01:40 > 0:01:44to get from one station to another when you're at the end of the line.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- Steve, you're a former record holder?- Yeah, that's correct. - How long did you take?

0:01:48 > 0:01:50I took 18 hours, 35 minutes and 38 seconds

0:01:50 > 0:01:54and I did that with Sam to the right here.

0:01:54 > 0:01:59- 18 hours 35. And what's your record then?- Our time is 18 hours, 20 minutes and 26 seconds.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01And how do you fit into this, Andy?

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Well, I hold one of the other challenges,

0:02:04 > 0:02:07I hold the Docklands Light Railway record.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10And that's finding a day when the service is running properly?!

0:02:10 > 0:02:15No, that's travelling all the actual stations on the Docklands Light Railway of which there are 39.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19OK, good luck. Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:02:19 > 0:02:21for our Challengers.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:23 > 0:02:26the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29So Tube Challengers, the Eggheads have won the last 11 games,

0:02:29 > 0:02:34which means £12,000 says you can't beat them.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Tube Transport.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I'm kidding! Film and Television.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Which one of you wants to play Film and Television?

0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Who's good on Film and Television? - It's going to be me or you, Sam.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- What do you reckon? - I'll put myself forward.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- You're gonna do it. OK.- Well done.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54I'm gonna go for this one.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57The captain steps up to the oche.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Against who?- I think actually I'll go for Chris

0:03:01 > 0:03:03and hope more TV comes out than film.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05So I'll go with Chris.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07OK. Anthony from the Tube Challengers

0:03:07 > 0:03:11against Chris from the Eggheads and to ensure there's no conferring,

0:03:11 > 0:03:15would you please take your positions in the question room?

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Let's ask our questions about Film and Television.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22Three multiple-choice questions. Anthony, first or second set?

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Could I go first, please?

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Anthony, who sang and danced to the title song

0:03:29 > 0:03:32in the 1952 film Singing In The Rain?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Who sang and danced to the title song

0:03:38 > 0:03:42in the 1952 film Singing In The Rain?

0:03:42 > 0:03:45I hope I'm right on this one. I'm not 100% certain.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48I'm pretty certain it isn't Maurice Chevalier, the Frenchman.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51It was definitely one of the Americans, I believe.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55And out of the two, I believe it was Gene Kelly.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Brilliant. Gene Kelly was right.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Chris, which actress

0:04:00 > 0:04:04played Lara in the 1965 film Doctor Zhivago?

0:04:08 > 0:04:10That was Julie Christie.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14- And a scorching performance, wasn't it?- It was, yeah.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15One each, well done.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Anthony, in the 1970s,

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Farrah Fawcett played Jill Monroe

0:04:20 > 0:04:23in which US TV series?

0:04:26 > 0:04:29I've watched all of these over the various years.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32It's definitely not Moonlighting or Dallas.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33It's Charlie's Angels.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38Yes, and she was and is a brilliant and talented actress,

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Farrah Fawcett. ..Chris,

0:04:41 > 0:04:45who starred as Simon Sparrow in the 1954 film Doctor In The House?

0:04:50 > 0:04:55Talking films of my era now. That was Dirk Bogarde.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Well done, you're right. Dirk Bogarde it was.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Two points apiece. Anthony, get this,

0:05:00 > 0:05:03you put the Eggheads under pressure.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05How old was John Gielgud when he won

0:05:05 > 0:05:11the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in the 1981 film Arthur?

0:05:16 > 0:05:21OK, I'm not 100% sure, but I know he was fairly old.

0:05:21 > 0:05:26It's certainly not 57 and I don't think he was as young as 67.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29So I'm going to plump for 77.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33You're good. You're right.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34Well done.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37So, Chris,

0:05:37 > 0:05:42let's see if you're going to be shunted out.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Which stately home was used as the location

0:05:46 > 0:05:49for the television drama series Brideshead Revisited?

0:05:54 > 0:05:56That was Castle Howard, Yorkshire.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Yes, it was, indeed. Well done. So three points each.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Anthony, we move now to sudden death

0:06:01 > 0:06:06and to make it that bit harder, these questions are not multiple choice. Here we go.

0:06:06 > 0:06:12Who starred as the title character in the 2008 film Drillbit Taylor?

0:06:12 > 0:06:16Oh, goodness, I've heard of the film,

0:06:16 > 0:06:20I've seen the trailer for it, but I'll be honest, I don't have a clue.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23So I'm going to have to take a bit of a guess,

0:06:23 > 0:06:26I'll just go for Owen Wilson.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Where did it come from, that amazing guess?

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Just made it up, at the back of my mind somewhere.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34You're right! Well done.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Do you know what the film's about?

0:06:36 > 0:06:37- Anyone?- No.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40It's about a sort of a soldier of fortune

0:06:40 > 0:06:44who's hired by a couple of lads to protect them from bullies.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Bullies. - Teach them how to deal with bullies.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Children who hire a bodyguard to protect them from a bully.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Chris, if you get this wrong, you're gone.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Ethel, Lionel and John were members of which famous acting dynasty?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59They were three of the Barrymores.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02They were indeed and we could have said Drew as well.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- You could. She's a Barrymore. - John's granddaughter.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Anthony, which 2005 film

0:07:06 > 0:07:10was based on the true story of Laurence Harvey's daughter,

0:07:10 > 0:07:15a one-time model who became a bounty hunter in South Central Los Angeles?

0:07:18 > 0:07:21I really haven't got a clue on this one.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Erm...

0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'll just have to guess, I don't know. Treasure Hunt.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29No. It's Domino.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Chris, your question now for the round.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Which magical character from children's TV,

0:07:34 > 0:07:40played by Geoffrey Bayldon in the 1970s, had a toad named Touchwood?

0:07:40 > 0:07:46- Nay, my brother, 'tis Catweazle! 'Tis but my brother.- It is, indeed.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49You've taken the round. You've got one more point than our Challengers.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Anthony, you won't be joining us

0:07:51 > 0:07:54in the final round,

0:07:54 > 0:07:57but both of you please come back to the studio now.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain

0:07:59 > 0:08:03from the final round whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Our next subject is Science.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Who wants this?

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Well, I think it would have to be me. I do like the subject.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Being the pharmacy assistant as well.- It'd definitely have to be me.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Pharmacy assistant versus whom?

0:08:18 > 0:08:22- CJ.- Judith, I would say. - Which one of them looks flaky?

0:08:22 > 0:08:23I think I'll go for Judith.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28Andy from the Tube Challengers versus Judith from the Eggheads.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32To ensure there's no conferring take your positions in the question room.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Andy, do you want the first or the second set of questions?

0:08:35 > 0:08:37The first set of questions.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Andy, in the field

0:08:40 > 0:08:42of animal behaviourism,

0:08:42 > 0:08:49what is the scientific term for the top male in a dominance hierarchy?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Well, I don't believe it's a king pin

0:08:55 > 0:08:58and I certainly don't think it's a top dog.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02I think I've seen this on those nature programmes.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04I believe it's an alpha male.

0:09:04 > 0:09:05You're right. First point to you.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Judith, which sea creature

0:09:08 > 0:09:12is well known for walking in a distinctive sideways motion?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Sea urchins clamp themselves to a rock

0:09:19 > 0:09:21and you don't want to tread on them.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26Cuttlefish, I think, kind of shimmer, so it's a crab.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- They shimmer, but not sideways? - Not sideways.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31You're right, it's a crab.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Andy, your question.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38What name is given to the oscillation of an object at its natural frequency of vibration?

0:09:42 > 0:09:47Well, I know it's not reduction, and between the two that are left

0:09:47 > 0:09:51I believe I read somewhere that resonance vibrates,

0:09:51 > 0:09:53so I'm gonna go for resonance.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54And you are completely right.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Well done, Andy.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03Judith, which part of the human body is affected by the disease trachoma?

0:10:07 > 0:10:12I think that's a terrible disease that's prevalent in Africa,

0:10:12 > 0:10:14and it's the eye.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18It is, and you're right. Well done.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19OK, Andy, your third question.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22keep the pressure on Judith by getting this one right.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26What in the natural world is the Laccaria amethystea

0:10:26 > 0:10:30- or Amethyst Deceiver?- Ooh. - What is that?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36I'm not entirely 100% sure on this one.

0:10:36 > 0:10:42I'm not... I'm just gonna have a guess and say it's a snake.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46No, it's not a snake, it's fungus.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Fungus is the answer.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Judith,

0:10:51 > 0:10:54your question. If you get this, you take the round.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58The 19th century Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis

0:10:58 > 0:11:02had a lasting influence on which aspect of hospital life?

0:11:06 > 0:11:10Well, I think hygiene was taken care of by Lister,

0:11:10 > 0:11:16and I can't think of anybody who dealt with nutrition

0:11:16 > 0:11:19and it's always been rather a bugbear in hospitals,

0:11:19 > 0:11:21so I imagine it was anaesthesia.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23You're wrong. It was hygiene.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Oh, dear.

0:11:25 > 0:11:26He did the what?

0:11:26 > 0:11:30Semmelweis was the chap who insisted that doctors and midwives

0:11:30 > 0:11:33wash their hands before and after childbirth

0:11:33 > 0:11:37and he prevented the spread of puerperal fever

0:11:37 > 0:11:41and saved loads of lives of women during childbirth.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Asepsis rather than antisepsis.

0:11:43 > 0:11:44He's a real hero.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Sorry, Judith, you're wrong. So it's deadlock now,

0:11:47 > 0:11:50two points apiece after three questions each.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53That means we go to sudden death and just to make it harder,

0:11:53 > 0:11:56these questions are not multiple choice.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Andy, here is your first sudden-death question.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03Which part of London was chosen as the Prime Meridian of the world

0:12:03 > 0:12:07at a conference of 25 countries in 1884?

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Prime Meridian of the world, wow...

0:12:11 > 0:12:13I believe it's Greenwich.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Is the correct answer, Andy. Well done.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Challengers broken through,

0:12:18 > 0:12:20what will Judith do?

0:12:20 > 0:12:25Judith, which extinct creature was originally given the scientific name

0:12:25 > 0:12:30Didus ineptus, due to the belief that it was clumsy and dim-witted?

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Spelt D-I-D-U-S and I-N-E-P-T-U-S.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Well, the dodo was always thought to be very stupid

0:12:38 > 0:12:44because it encouraged its own extinction by being incredibly friendly

0:12:44 > 0:12:49to the people who came, arrived on its island, so I think it might be the dodo.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52The dodo is correct.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Andy,

0:12:54 > 0:13:01what is the name of the theoretical process of scientifically modifying an inhospitable planet

0:13:01 > 0:13:05to make it more compatible for human life?

0:13:05 > 0:13:09Wow. I believe this is like a Star Trek question,

0:13:09 > 0:13:14which they usually do on some of the episodes. I'll go for terraforming.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Absolutely right. Well done, Andy.

0:13:19 > 0:13:24Good answer! OK, Judith, you're under pressure now.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28What name is given to eyes of creatures such as flies or beetles,

0:13:28 > 0:13:30that are made up of hundreds of tiny units

0:13:30 > 0:13:35rather than just the one cornea and one lens typical of humans?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43I can't remember.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Can't remember.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Is that your final answer?

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Yeah, I'm afraid so. - Really, no answer at all? OK.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53It's in the back of my mind somewhere but I simply can't fish it out.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56- All right. The answer is compound eyes, Judith.- Yep.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59A very hard-fought round.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Andy, you took on one of the Eggheads, you emerged triumphant.

0:14:02 > 0:14:08Good news for our Challengers. Andy will be able to play in today's final round. Congratulations.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12So please, both of you come back, rejoin your team-mates.

0:14:12 > 0:14:18So as it stands, the Challengers and the Eggheads have lost one brain each from the final round.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Next subject, Sport. Who's the sporty one?

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Which one wants to take it?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Will I take the bull by the horns?

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Can't have Andy or Anthony. - I'll take that one on, please.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33OK, Kevin. And you can't choose Chris or Judith on Sport.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'll take on CJ, please.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40So it's Kevin from the Tube Challengers versus CJ from the Eggheads.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions in the question room.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Three multiple-choice questions on Sport.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Kevin, first or second set?

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I'll try the first set, please.

0:14:54 > 0:14:59Kevin, which football player made his Liverpool first-team debut in November 1998

0:14:59 > 0:15:05and has scored in the finals of the League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Cup and Champions' League?

0:15:10 > 0:15:14I think Morientes is probably a little bit too late for that

0:15:14 > 0:15:18and Gerrard's probably a bit early, so I'm gonna go for Michael Owen.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23No, actually Gerrard is the answer there.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27It wasn't Michael Owen. Sorry about that.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28CJ,

0:15:28 > 0:15:32in the annual Cambridge versus Oxford University Boat Race,

0:15:32 > 0:15:35two starting stations are called Surrey and what?

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Do you know, I don't think I've ever heard this?

0:15:41 > 0:15:44I know the names of all the crews including the reserve crews.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48I'm not sure I've come across this,

0:15:48 > 0:15:52but there is one that seems to be fairly obvious.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56- I'm gonna go for Middlesex. - Why is that obvious?

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Because it's in the south...

0:15:59 > 0:16:02-ish... sort of? I don't know.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Unlike Devon. - Yeah, which is in the north.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Yeah...Well, you're right anyway.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Kevin,

0:16:13 > 0:16:17at the 2004 Olympics, which Jamaican-born athlete

0:16:17 > 0:16:23running for Slovenia reached the semifinals of the 100 Metres at the age of 44?

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Well, the only name I recognise is Merlene Ottey.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32I know she run for Jamaica,

0:16:32 > 0:16:34but I don't know if she changed nationalities

0:16:34 > 0:16:37and maybe run for Slovenia as well.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I'll go for Ottey.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43You're absolutely right. Great answer.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Merlene Ottey.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Back to you, CJ.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51In which sport might the trudgen style be used?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58- It's a swimming stroke. - What does it look like?

0:16:58 > 0:17:00I've no idea, I just know it's a swimming stroke.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Daphne?- It's the old-fashioned name for the crawl.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06The old-fashioned name for the crawl, OK.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08CJ, you're right.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Two points to one.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14- So you really need this or you're out, Kevin.- Yeah.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18Which heavyweight boxer, who won 68 of his 81 bouts by knockout,

0:17:18 > 0:17:22was known as the Heywood Giant?

0:17:25 > 0:17:27I don't think it's George Foreman.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31I'm not 100% on this. Boxing's not my strongest category.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33I'm going to guess at Jack Johnson.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37It's not Jack Johnson, Kevin, I'm sorry.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39It's George Foreman who was known as the Heywood Giant.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41So, CJ, well done.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Kevin, you were beaten by our Egghead.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46You won't be able to help your team in the final round.

0:17:46 > 0:17:51Would you please both come back and rejoin your team-mates?

0:17:51 > 0:17:54The Challengers have lost two brains from the final round,

0:17:54 > 0:17:56the Eggheads have lost one brain.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Don't worry. This can still go your way.

0:17:58 > 0:18:02The last subject is History. Which of you wants

0:18:02 > 0:18:05to take on History and against which Egghead?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Steve or Sam?- I can't do History.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12I think it's gonna be best if we give it to Sam.

0:18:12 > 0:18:17- OK, I will.- All right, Sam. You said that with confidence, right?

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Yeah, yeah, I'm confident.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24A 20-year-old on History, against which Egghead?

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- I would say Daphne.- Kevin or Daphne? - I'll take on Daphne then, please.

0:18:27 > 0:18:33Daphne, OK. So we're going to have Sam from the Tube Challengers against Daphne from the Eggheads.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Please take your positions.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40So, Sam, another of our Tube Challengers, playing Daphne.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Multiple-choice questions, three of them, and you can

0:18:43 > 0:18:45choose the first or the second set.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46I'd like to go first, please.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Sam,

0:18:49 > 0:18:53which type of weapon used by knights and cavalry soldiers

0:18:53 > 0:18:56had a long wooden shaft and a pointed metal head?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04OK, I haven't heard of a flail so I wouldn't go for that one.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09So that just leaves lance and mace.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13The first one I looked at was lance so I'll have to go with that.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Because it was the first one you looked at?- No, the first one

0:19:16 > 0:19:18that attracted my attention.

0:19:18 > 0:19:23You're right, that's a good enough reason. Well done. Daphne,

0:19:23 > 0:19:26during World War Two, the Morrison air-raid shelter,

0:19:26 > 0:19:30designed to be used indoors, was shaped like which item of furniture?

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Well, I think it was like a table

0:19:35 > 0:19:38and you were supposed to get underneath it.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42It was. Correct. Thank you, right answer.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43Back to you, Sam.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Hang on in there.- OK.

0:19:46 > 0:19:51Which European country ruled Cambodia from 1863 untill 1953?

0:19:54 > 0:19:57OK. I really don't have any idea.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00I would say maybe, erm...

0:20:00 > 0:20:04- France?- Is that your answer?- Yeah.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Eggheads, how's she done?

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Right, she's got it right.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Lovely job.

0:20:12 > 0:20:18Daphne, in which year was the city of Constantinople renamed Istanbul?

0:20:24 > 0:20:28Well, I think there was a musical song, wasn't there?

0:20:28 > 0:20:33"Istanbul not Constantinople now." So, 1930.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Is the correct answer. Well done, Daphne.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41So keep pressure on here, Sam, by getting this one right.

0:20:41 > 0:20:46The Condottiere admiral and statesman, Andrea Doria,

0:20:46 > 0:20:50was ruler of which Italian city in the 16th century?

0:20:54 > 0:20:58OK, that's rather tricky.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Let's go for Naples.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05It's wrong, I'm afraid, it's Genoa.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09So, Daphne, this for the round.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Who suffered a disastrous defeat against Caesar

0:21:11 > 0:21:15on the plain of Pharsalus in the year 48 BC?

0:21:23 > 0:21:26I'm just trying to remember, erm...

0:21:26 > 0:21:30some little thing that will...

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I...am going to go for...

0:21:34 > 0:21:36..Pompey.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39What was the little thing that you were trying to remember?

0:21:39 > 0:21:45I had a feeling that Pompey was one of Caesar's rivals?

0:21:45 > 0:21:50But... was he? Is it right?

0:21:50 > 0:21:53It is right, Daphne.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Good play by you, well done.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Sam, you were beaten by our Egghead there.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Please, both of you, come back to the studio now.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08This is what we've been playing towards. Our Tube Challengers

0:22:08 > 0:22:11have been round pretty much the entire network and lost a few.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's time for our final round, General Knowledge.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:22:16 > 0:22:21can't take part in this round so that is Anthony, Kevin, and Sam

0:22:21 > 0:22:24from the Tube team, and Judith from the Eggheads.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27Please, would you leave the studio.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30There is a lot of money at stake, £12,000. Andy and Steve,

0:22:30 > 0:22:34you are playing to win that for the Tube Challengers.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Kevin, CJ, Daphne, and Chris, you're playing for something

0:22:37 > 0:22:40which money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44I will ask each team three questions in turn, all General Knowledge.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Now, Steve, you're a maths student, does that suit you?

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Well, my general knowledge is OK. I wouldn't put that down to the maths

0:22:51 > 0:22:54but... we'll see how it goes anyway.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58So the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Andy and Steve, you can choose

0:23:00 > 0:23:02the first or second set of questions.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04D'you want to go first or second?

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Shall we go second and mix it up a bit or...?

0:23:06 > 0:23:10- It's up to you.- Let's go second. - OK, yeah. We'll go second.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13So first one to you, Eggheads.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17Which product was introduced into the UK in 1960

0:23:17 > 0:23:21and marketed through parties held in people's homes?

0:23:26 > 0:23:30Which product was introduced into the UK in 1960

0:23:30 > 0:23:33and marketed through parties held in people's homes?

0:23:34 > 0:23:39- Since Ann Summers isn't there, erm... go for Tupperware?- Yes.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Cos Avon Cosmetics came to your door.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44That's Tupperware, Jeremy.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47It is Tupperware. Well done. First question

0:23:47 > 0:23:50to the Eggheads. Here's yours...

0:23:50 > 0:23:55In 1986 The Chicken Song was a UK number one hit single

0:23:55 > 0:23:58for characters from which TV show?

0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Definitely Spitting Image. - Definitely.- I remember seeing it.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08- I could even sing it for you. - I don't remember it but...

0:24:08 > 0:24:12You're right, it was Spitting Image. How does it go?

0:24:12 > 0:24:16# Swing a chicken in the air, da da da da da da da... #

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Yeah.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- It was a parody of holiday songs. - "Stick a dead cow up your nose."

0:24:21 > 0:24:23One all. Well done,

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Tube Challengers.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Here we go, question two. What title, Eggheads, is given

0:24:28 > 0:24:31to daughters of the Spanish sovereign?

0:24:37 > 0:24:39- < Go with infanta? - What title is given to daughters

0:24:39 > 0:24:43- of the Spanish sovereign? - That's infanta.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Infanta is the correct answer, well done.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Your second question.

0:24:47 > 0:24:53Mount Carmel is a high ridge that shelters which modern port?

0:24:56 > 0:25:02Mount Carmel is a high ridge that shelters which modern port?

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Haifa is in Israel,

0:25:09 > 0:25:13Piraeus is, I think, Greece, and Tripoli is Italy.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Carmel, what are we thinking it sounds like?

0:25:16 > 0:25:20- I dunno.- Carmel is C-A-R-M-E-L. - C-A-R-M-E-L?

0:25:20 > 0:25:21Yeah.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24I don't know which is high around it.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27I don't know anything about the location of them, really,

0:25:27 > 0:25:29apart from the country, so Carmel,

0:25:29 > 0:25:33what sort of place would you say Carmel's nationality sounding?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Carmel, it doesn't really sound Italian.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40- It sounds French, doesn't it? - So, that's Haifa...

0:25:40 > 0:25:44Haifa's Israel, and Piraeus is Greece, Tripoli Italy.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Italy.- Carmel...

0:25:47 > 0:25:51Israel. I don't know.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54- We'll go for Haifa?- Yeah. We think the answer's Haifa.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Haifa's your answer?- Yeah.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02- You're right.- Yes!

0:26:02 > 0:26:05And I guess there's a Bible connection, is that a clue there?

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Israel... I don't know where it appeared.- It is.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11It does feature in the Bible at some stage.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14The other two are Athens and Libya so it wouldn't be in those.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17You're neck and neck. Two questions, two points each.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18All that needs to happen

0:26:18 > 0:26:23now is they get this one wrong, you get yours right,

0:26:23 > 0:26:25and you go home with £12,000.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29- That sounds very nice. - It's really simple.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32Eggheads, in May 2006 which British sportswoman

0:26:32 > 0:26:35became the first female to sail single-handed,

0:26:35 > 0:26:38non-stop, the wrong way around the globe?

0:26:43 > 0:26:47In May 2006 which British sportswoman became the first female

0:26:47 > 0:26:51to sail single-handed, non-stop, the wrong way around the globe?

0:26:51 > 0:26:54We think that's Dee Caffari, Jeremy.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56- That's your answer?- Yeah.

0:26:56 > 0:27:00It's the correct answer, well done.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02As you let them go first, they've now put you under pressure.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05- No pressure!- No pressure at all!

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Get this right to stay alive.

0:27:07 > 0:27:12What was the name of the chimpanzee who returned unharmed

0:27:12 > 0:27:19after being fired into space from Cape Canaveral in January 1961?

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Slightly before my time.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Slightly before mine as well, unfortunately.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36It doesn't sound like it would be the first one, they don't sound like Ham.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Pam doesn't sound like the name of a chimpanzee, does it?

0:27:38 > 0:27:41No. I would go...

0:27:41 > 0:27:45- What are you thinking?- I'm thinking maybe Jam, but I'm not sure.

0:27:45 > 0:27:46That's the one

0:27:46 > 0:27:50that stood out for me. I'm 50% but that's the one that stood out at me.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's a pure guess but we'll go for Jam.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57- The answer is Ham.- Oh!

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Named after, Eggheads?

0:28:00 > 0:28:06Well, it says here, the Holloman Aerospace Medical Center. H-A-M.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07Didn't know that!

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Tricky bit of very obscure general knowledge.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15I'm sorry, Tube Challengers, the Eggheads have won.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22Which is sort of what comes naturally

0:28:22 > 0:28:27to our Eggheads at the moment. Well done to you, your winning streak continues.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30So you won't be going home with the £12,000, sorry, Tube Challengers.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33What a great and fascinating team you were.

0:28:33 > 0:28:38The money rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:38 > 0:28:41Join us next time to see if the new Challengers

0:28:41 > 0:28:43have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46£13,000 says they don't.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Till then, goodbye.
