0:00:04 > 0:00:09These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads -
0:00:11 > 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36You might recognise them, as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41And challenging our resident quiz champions today are the Black Lions.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45The team met while socialising together at The Black Lion pub
0:00:45 > 0:00:51and now form a successful quiz team, who've been in the South Cheshire Quiz League for over ten years.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Terry. I'm 59 and I'm a retired salesman.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Julie.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm 45 and I'm a solicitor.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm David.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I'm 56 and I'm a software developer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Anne. I'm 48 and I'm an IT consultant.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Mike. I'm 43 and I'm an education consultant.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Welcome, Terry. Welcome, Black Lions. Tell us about the pub.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Well, the pub is 1664 built.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23It's very, very popular with the Sealed Knot -
0:01:23 > 0:01:26when they hold their celebrations in January,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29when they commemorate the Battle of Nantwich.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35They do the recreation of battles? Do they ever pitch into pub quizzes at the same time?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Well, they don't, but we do.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42We play every Thursday in the winter league in the South Cheshire League.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46And we've come here to try and take some money home, we hope.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48You're saying you're quite good?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- We're a useful side.- OK.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53We've won the league four times in 10 years.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I didn't want you to over play it.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58But we just need to get them slightly worried.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09So, Black Lions, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13which means £5,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Are you ready to try?- We are, yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19First head-to-head battle will be on Film and Television.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Challengers, who wants it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Right, I think... - We think that's you, Julie.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Julie, solicitor, against...? - We've decided to go for Julie, yes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32OK. Decisive, that's great. Which Egghead?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Shall we try Chris?- You think?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Go on, take Chris, why not?
0:02:36 > 0:02:42- Maybe Chris, yeah?- Yes, Chris, yes. - I'll try and take Chris on.- OK.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So, it's Julie from the Black Lions against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49And to ensure no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Film and Television. Three multiple choice questions.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You choose - first, or second set, Julie?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I'll go first, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02OK, Julie. Here we go. Andy Peters and Emma Forbes
0:03:02 > 0:03:05were the original presenters of which children's TV show?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Well, I think they're far too young
0:03:11 > 0:03:14to be the original presenters of Blue Peter.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Tiswas was on the other channel.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20So I think it's Live & Kicking.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Spot on. Well done.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Chris, in which show were contestants asked to, "Come on down"?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Ah, yeah. The late Leslie Crowther on The Price Is Right.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Quite right. One point each.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46OK, Julie. What is the name of the character played by Bruce Willis
0:03:46 > 0:03:49in the 1997 film The Fifth Element?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I've got to say, I've never seen this film.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00And I'm not a big fan of Bruce Willis.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06For some reason, the name Korben Dallas is...I seem to have heard of.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09So, I'll go for Korben Dallas.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14You are a good quizzer. You're right. Well done!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18OK, Chris. "Save the cheerleader, save the world!"
0:04:18 > 0:04:22is a catchphrase from which American TV drama series?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Oh, that's Hayden Panettiere, isn't it? The cheerleader in Heroes.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Quite right. Your third question, to keep the pressure on.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Here it is, Julie. Don't Drink The Water
0:04:39 > 0:04:41was the spin off from which TV sitcom?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Well, I think I'm going to have to go for It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Sounds like the right answer, doesn't it?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56But it's not. It was On The Buses.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00So, Chris has a chance to take this round. Here we go.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Who wrote the screenplay, Chris, for the 2007 film Charlie Wilson's War?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Well, it's a complete and utter guess.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18None of those names mean anything to me.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22So, who sounds like a Hollywood scriptwriter?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Mmm... Just as a guess, I'll say Aaron Sorkin.- Ha!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31I just don't know how you do it! You're right. Brilliant guess!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Sorry, Julie. He's beaten you, but only just.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36You were beaten by Chris.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39So he can play in the final round, Julie, and you can't.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team mates.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46OK, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain
0:05:46 > 0:05:47from the final round.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Our next subject is politics.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Who from the challengers will be playing?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- What will we do? - Who would you like to take on?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Gamble we don't get History as well? - Yeah, you'll have to go for it.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04At the end of the day, we have to. But who do we take on Politics?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05- I'll be doing the Politics.- OK.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Terry. Who looks non-political?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- I wouldn't say Kevin, no.- Any of the others.- Any?- Maybe Daphne?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Un-political.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Depoliticised.- Try Daphne. - Which one?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Daphne.- OK. Daphne, from the Eggheads,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22versus Terry, from the Black Lions.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26To ensure no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I'm going to ask each of you three questions in turn.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Terry, would you like the first set or the second set?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33I'll have the first set, please.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Good luck, Terry. Fine Gael is a political party in which country?
0:06:41 > 0:06:47Sorry about that. Er, my family name is Mulkerrin. It's an Irish name.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- It's bound to be the Republic of Ireland.- Quite right.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Fine Gael is in Ireland.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Daphne!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Jeremy!- Beaming at us today.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Good to see you there.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Who was elected to a third term
0:07:01 > 0:07:04as Prime Minister of Italy in April 2008?
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I think that was Silvio Berlusconi.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18It was, indeed, Silvio Berlusconi.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Who on earth is Walter Veltroni? Anyone know?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Oh, he was the opposition, I think?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- The runner-up. - The runner-up?- Yes.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26See, I was listening.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29You were. One point each.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Terry, which horse-drawn carriage
0:07:31 > 0:07:36traditionally carries the sovereign from Buckingham Palace to open a new parliamentary session?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Well, once again, you have another Irish connotation in there.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48And it is definitely the Irish State Coach.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52So, the name Mulkerrin, your surname, is coming in handy?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Indeed it is.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57All right, Daphne. We continue with the Ireland round.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Which prominent political figure was born William Jefferson Blythe?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Well, that was Bill Clinton.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I think he adopted his stepfather's name afterwards.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16That's right, it was. Two points each.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Third question for you, Terry.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Put the pressure on Daphne.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Which 20th century political leader is quoted as saying,
0:08:23 > 0:08:30"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated?"
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Well, it would hardly be Charles de Gaulle,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40given his treatment of animals.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42And I don't think it was Ford -
0:08:42 > 0:08:45a man who couldn't chew gum and walk at the same time!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I suspect it was Mahatma Gandhi.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Great play, Terry. You're right. Well done.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Daphne, if you get this wrong, you're out of the final round.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59And I do quite often get the third one wrong, don't I?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Well, I hadn't noticed that, I must say.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04In fact, in this round, Politics,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- of the last 22 that you've played, you've only lost one.- Ah!
0:09:08 > 0:09:12So, if one is quite often, then...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14we need to rethink our use of words.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Following the 1900 General Election,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19what was the first constituency Winston Churchill represented?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Well, I think that was Oldham.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32She won't be shaken off that easily, Terry. You're right, Daphne.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Three each. No more multiple choice. We go to sudden death.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39And here you give me the answer. I won't give you three options.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Terry, which 20th century British Prime Minister gave a speech in which he famously said,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47"It does not mean, of course, that the pound here in Britain,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50"in your pocket or in your purse, has been devalued"?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well, I clearly recall him doing it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56But I think I would be about 19, at the time.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58And it was Harold Wilson.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It was, indeed, in 1967.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Daphne, what name is given to the representative of the Sovereign,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11acting for the Head Of State, in dominions of the Commonwealth -
0:10:11 > 0:10:15notably Australia and Canada?
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Governor-General.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Governor-General is quite right, Daphne. Well done.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22So, neck and neck.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Here we go with you, Terry.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Which English word for the direct vote of all members of an electorate
0:10:28 > 0:10:30on an important public question
0:10:30 > 0:10:35comes from the Latin for "decree of the common people"?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41My Latin's a bit rusty,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45as it's something like 30, 40 years, since I did any.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48But I seem to recall from school that it was referenda.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53- It's plebiscite.- Plebiscite. - Plebiscite is the word.- Yup, OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Daphne, if you take this, you've got the round.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Which German chancellor gave his name
0:11:01 > 0:11:04to the Independent Commission On International Development Issues,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06which published the 1980 report,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09North South - A Programme For Survival?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I don't know, Jeremy. It'll have to be a guess.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Willie Brandt.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- You're right, you're right! - Oh, you're joking!
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Known as the Brandt Commission.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Don't look so surprised, it was a great guess!
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Sorry, Terry. You were beaten by our Egghead too.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32So you can't play in the final. Please, both of you, come back to the studio.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38while the Eggheads have lost none.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Our next subject is Music. Who from the challengers wants to play Music?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Can't obviously have Julie or Terry.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I think it may have to be Mike.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- I think Mike should do it, maybe? - I think so.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- I think it's me.- OK. Who would you like to play against?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Erm, I'll just confer with the team.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Depends on if it's classical or modern. Either Judith or CJ. Judith, perhaps?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Seem to suggest I should try Judith. - All right.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Mike, from the Black Lions, versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- You're happy about that? - I have to be, don't I? No choice.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18To ensure no conferring, please take you positions in the question room.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22So, Mike and Judith, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Music in turn.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Mike - first or second set?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I'd like to go first, I think.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Good luck.
0:12:31 > 0:12:37"And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain." is the first line of which well-known song?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I hope I'm fairly clear about which one this is. I don't think it's...?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Light My Fire's The Doors, isn't it?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51And Magic Moments is similar to the one I think it is.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Perry Como - my mum's favourite. I think it's My Way.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57That's the correct answer.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Judith, The Invitation To The Jellicle Ball
0:13:02 > 0:13:03and The Rum Tum Tugger
0:13:03 > 0:13:07are songs from which Andrew Lloyd Webber musical?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I think The Rum Tum Tugger is a cat. So it's Cats.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Quite right, Judith. Well done.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Mike, after leaving The Specials, Terry Hall became
0:13:21 > 0:13:23the lead singer of which band?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Again, I hope I know this one.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Er, UB40 was... was it Ally Campbell?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37And I think he's left, recently, and left his brother to it.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Haircut 100 was Nick Hayward.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43So I think Terry Hall joined Fun Boy Three.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- That's your answer?- Yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Yeah, you're right. Spot on. Fun Boy Three.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Completely your era, that question. - Yeah.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Judith, which band's single, Whole Lotta Love,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58was used in many forms, for many years, as the theme tune for the TV show Top Of The Pops?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Don't think it was The Rolling Stones.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Erm, I think it was The Beatles.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Whole Lotta Love was Led Zeppelin, sorry.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So, with this you take the round, Mike.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20The Psalms, composed by Leonard Bernstein in 1965,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22were written for which cathedral?
0:14:26 > 0:14:27I've no idea, to be honest.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Of the three, the only one I've been to is Cologne Cathedral.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35It's a fantastic building. Erm...
0:14:35 > 0:14:38He's, well, had an international reputation.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41So, I'm going to guess Cologne.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Sorry, you're wrong.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48It's Chichester. So, Judith, you're back in.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52The 1888 Messa de Requiem,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55for solo voices, chorus, orchestra and organ,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59has become the most well known of which composer's works?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Well, Faure's requiem is very, very well known.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14My father-in-law had it at his requiem mass.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I think it's probably Faure's requiem.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Faure and requiem seem to go together.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Good logic, Judith. You're right, it is Faure.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25And that was his requiem. So, we're locked on two points apiece.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27That means we move to Sudden Death.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32And here, not multiple choice, as before. You need to give me your answer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- No options. Mike, you ready?- Yup.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Kimberly Walsh and Nicola Roberts are members of which chart-topping girl group?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Blimey! It's not always good to be 43, is it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Erm, I'll guess Girls Aloud.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I was thinking as I read it, yes, being 43 is a problem here.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52But you got it right! Well done.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Judith, in 2008, which former Pop Idol contestant
0:15:58 > 0:16:05took on the role of Rhett Butler in the West End musical version of Gone With The Wind?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Oh, I saw that in the paper!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Erm...oh, God! Who was it?
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Rhett Butler.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Oh, Darius... Darius something or other.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Or he calls it Darius, I think. Erm...
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I do need first name and surname.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Oh, what was his surname?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I simply can't remember his surname.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- I've got stuck. It's gone. - Gone With The Wind?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Yup, Gone With The Wind. - Darius Danesh is the answer.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36So, Judith, I'm sorry, I can't give you that.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Which means our challenger has won this round.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Mike, well done.
0:16:41 > 0:16:47It is great being 43, officially. You've taken on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51So you will play in the final. And Judith, I'm sorry to say, won't.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Please, both of you, come back.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58Well done, challengers. Now you have an extra brain in the final round, which is Mike.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Eggheads have lost one brain on this side. You've lost two.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Our last subject is Arts and Books. Which one of you wants this?
0:17:06 > 0:17:13- I think I'm doing it.- Well, yes. - Because I'm doing whatever the subject is!- OK! And versus whom?
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Who shall we...?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- CJ or Kevin?- CJ, I think. - Take CJ out.- CJ.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Right. Anne, from the Black Lions, against CJ, from the Eggheads.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26To ensure there's no conferring, please leave the studio now.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- So, Anne, you're an IT consultant? - That's right.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34- With a bit of gardening and fresh veg on the side?- That's right!
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Not all at the same time. - And you enjoy your quizzing? - I do, yes.- OK. Good luck.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Thank you.- Three questions, Arts and Books, multiple choice.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43You can choose - first or second?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Your question, Anne. Paul McCartney's first wife, Linda,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54was a professional in which field of the arts?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Well, I believe she was actually from the Eastman family,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05who are known for photography. So I'm going photography.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Yes, you've got it right! Well done.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14CJ, Carlo Collodi created which popular children's character?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Erm, I think that's Pinocchio.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23You think right.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Well done, CJ.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Anne, Rocinante was the horse of which fictional character?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Well, it's about 25 years since I read this.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42But I think it's Don Quixote's horse.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Don Quixote is right.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47CJ, who played the part of Karen
0:18:47 > 0:18:53in the original 1988 Broadway production of David Mamet's play Speed The Plough?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Well, I know Madonna's certainly done it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02I don't believe the other two have. So, I will go for Madonna.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Madonna has indeed done it. You're quite right.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09You've got a point, too. Neck and neck. Back to you, Anne.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11What name is given to the group of artists
0:19:11 > 0:19:15whose first exhibition was in Moscow, in 1910,
0:19:15 > 0:19:20and whose members were the leading exponents of avant-garde art in Russia at that time?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I really don't know the answer to this.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I've never heard of any of those groups of artists.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39I think I'll go for... Jack of Diamonds.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41You got it right, well done!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Good play by the Black Lions.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Good stuff. CJ, pressure on you.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50The lines "God's in his heaven, all's right with the world."
0:19:50 > 0:19:53appear in a work by which poet?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59You know I hate poetry.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04Knowing my luck, it's probably gonna be Shakespeare.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07But I'm gonna go for Browning. Sorry, I don't know.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Robert Browning is your answer. Daphne, is he right?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Yes. It comes from Pippa Passes.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15You are right, CJ.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Confirmed by Daphne. Well done, three each.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Tight round, scores level.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24So it's Sudden Death now.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Are you ready, Anne?- Yes.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Gonna need your answer. I won't give you the options.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33"We seek him here, we see him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere."
0:20:33 > 0:20:37is a famous line from which 1905 novel?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- The Scarlett Pimpernel. - Correct, well done.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46CJ, which play, which premiered in London in 1980,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50is set in the office of The Open University lecturer Dr Frank Bryant?
0:20:50 > 0:20:55It's, erm...assuming. I only know one that's set there.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59So, let's assume it's Educating Rita.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01That's right. By Willy Russell.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Anne, which American painter was renowned for her atmospheric images
0:21:05 > 0:21:10of bones and flowers set against a perspectiveless space,
0:21:10 > 0:21:16typified by such works as Cow's Skull With Calico Roses, painted in 1931?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Well...
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Can't even bring to mind any female American painters. Er...
0:21:29 > 0:21:34No, I'm going to have to say, I haven't got an answer.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I can't think of any female American painters.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- You're passing?- I am.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- You sure?- Yeah.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Georgia O'Keefe is the answer.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49CJ, this is your question for the round.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Which American-born writer
0:21:51 > 0:21:55spent the latter part of his life at Lamb House, in Rye,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58East Sussex, where he wrote his last great novels,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00including The Golden Bowl?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Don't know The Golden Bowl. But...
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I do know that Henry James came to live in East Sussex.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15And, as I've got nothing else to go on, I'm gonna go for Henry James.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21He became a British citizen in 1915. It was Henry James, CJ.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Well done! Well done.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27So, Anne was beaten by our Egghead...just.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31As a result, she won't be able to help her team in the final round.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Would you both please join your teams?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Time for our final round. General Knowledge. I'm afraid, though,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45those who lost head-to-heads won't take part.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50So that is Terry, Julie and Anne from the Black Lions and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Please now leave the studio.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Well, David and Mike, you are playing to win the Black Lions £5,000.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04you are playing for something which money can't buy - the Egghead's reputation.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16So, Black Lions, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20David and Mike, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Yeah. OK, we'll go first, please.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Good luck, Black Lions.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Your team are rooting for you there.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34What word is used to describe animals of a particular region, habitat or geological period?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- I think it's fauna. Flora's the plant life.- Flora is plants, yeah.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- And feria, I'm not familiar with. - Could be anything.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I do think fauna is the animal life.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53You can even... You talk about the fauna in your gut, can't you?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Sort of, the bacterial...
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Right. OK.- So go for fauna. - We're not sure what feria is.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02But the answer, we know, is fauna.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Fauna is your answer and it's right. Well done. Well done.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Eggheads, back to you.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Which sport, traditionally in England a feature of girl's public schools,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16is played with long-handled, racket-like implements,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18used to catch, carry or throw the ball?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Out of those options... - Yup, lacrosse.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27That's lacrosse, Jeremy.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Lacrosse is right. - And Judith's played it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Judith, you're a lacrosse player? Give us a wave if that's true.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Yes. This is how you... - Yes, that's it.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Originated with North American Indians,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41who sometimes used the heads of defeated opponents.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43A touch of St Trinian's there!
0:24:43 > 0:24:48- Did they?- National summer sport of Canada.- I'll never play again!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Back to you, Black Lions. Your second question.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55What colour dot on a squash ball grades it as being suitable for beginners?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00What colour dot on a squash ball
0:25:00 > 0:25:04grades it as being suitable for beginners?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Oh, it's so long since I played squash.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I've only played a couple of times.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- Should know this. - I think red or yellow.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I think a yellow dot is very fast. So it's not yellow.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22I can't recall seeing a blue dot. But I might be wrong.
0:25:22 > 0:25:28- I think I've seen ones with a red dot.- Happy with red?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31We'll try red. But we just don't know, I'm afraid.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Your answer's red.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I think red is slower...
0:25:37 > 0:25:41but it's blue. Blue is the answer.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Eggheads, you can take the advantage decisively with this question.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Which area of London is particularly associated with the diamond trade?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Hatton Garden.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- That's Hatton Garden. - Quite right, Kevin. Well done.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Two points to you.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Black Lions, if you get this wrong, I'm afraid the contest is over.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Good luck. In April 1938,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11what percentage of Austrians approved the Anschluss -
0:26:11 > 0:26:13the political unification with Germany?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Well, if it were 99.7, it might suggest that...
0:26:26 > 0:26:30either people who thought otherwise didn't feel they could vote...
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- or the vote was rigged, you know... - It might well have been rigged.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38So, it might have been a false result.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40I'd say it's probably more than 33.7%.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Yeah, I'd agree with you. - Because...
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Cos otherwise...- They took it over relatively peacefully.- Yeah.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54When you do get rigged elections, it's always somewhere short of 100%.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It's meant to look marginally more authentic.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Do you want to go for 99.7?
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I mean, it's the sort of stand-out figure that might be remarkable
0:27:03 > 0:27:04enough to be the correct answer.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06We're down to guessing. We don't know.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- But we've got a line of logic behind that one.- Yeah, OK.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- We'll go with 99?- Go on, then. - Right, we'll go with 99.7%.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16But we really don't know. We suspect...
0:27:16 > 0:27:20We suspect the real number was probably less than that.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24But, officially, it might have been 99.7.
0:27:24 > 0:27:2699.7 is the correct answer.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30And, er, worryingly, that might have been the real number.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33OK, so, you're still in the game.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Well done. If they get this right, they have won the contest. Here we go, Eggheads.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41The North American tree with the Latin name, Liriodendron,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43is better known by what name?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49If you get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- There's no such thing as a daffodil tree.- No, and rose tree is just...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- Rose tree is rhododendron. - Tulip tree.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Tulip tree is definitely North American. Yeah.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- OK?- I'm happy to go with you!
0:28:01 > 0:28:04That's the tulip tree, Jeremy.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- Which is the Liriodendron, you think.- Yes.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Good play. You're quite right.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Commiserations, challengers.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I'm afraid you won't go home with £5,000,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30which means the money rolls over.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:33 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40£6,000 says they don't.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Till then, goodbye.
