0:00:04 > 0:00:08These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32You might just recognise them
0:00:32 > 0:00:35as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths are Act One.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43The team know one another
0:00:43 > 0:00:46through Cardiff University's drama group.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49they've won their local pub quiz so many times,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I'm told, they get booed by the opposition.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Rhys. I'm 22, and training to be a croupier.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Frances. I'm 22, and a children's holiday monitor.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Pete. I'm 27, and I'm a transition administrator.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Kim. I'm 27, and a corporate services manager.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Peter, I'm 28. I'm an engineering student.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14So, Rhys, you go in the pub to play, and everyone starts catcalling.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Yes, we did have to change our name on the eighth occasion, I think.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22There were several "boos" going out through the pub,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24when our name was called out.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- So acting brings you together... - Correct, yes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29..but I know that you are a trainee croupier.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- That's right.- Meaning what? - Well, basically,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36dealing in a casino, roulette, blackjack, stud card poker, etc.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39So you've got the gambler as your captain, team,
0:01:39 > 0:01:44- is that a good idea? - ALL: Possibly not!- Let's see!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Every day there's a thousand pounds worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:47 > 0:01:50for our challengers. But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:50 > 0:01:52the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56So, Act One, the Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58which means £8,000
0:01:58 > 0:02:01says you can't beat the Eggheads!
0:02:01 > 0:02:05First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Challengers, which one of you wants to take this?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11THEY CONFER
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Fran, do you want this? - Yeah, I'll take that one.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Fran thinks she's got the skills.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Fran, and which Egghead looks shaky on the literary side?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22CJ!
0:02:22 > 0:02:23We'd like CJ, please.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27OK. So it's Fran from Act One versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30No conferring, so please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- So Fran, good luck here. - Thank you.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39You've chosen well - CJ's had some bad moments on Arts & Books.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42And, I have to ask, what's the tiara for?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46It's for my goddaughter because I'm her fairy godmother.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49If you tip your head down slightly we can all see it. Aah!
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- What's her name?- Lulu.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54OK, this is for Lulu if you win.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Fran, your choice, the first set of questions or the second set?
0:02:57 > 0:02:58I'll go first, please.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Fran, which words follow "The Cat"
0:03:04 > 0:03:09in the title of a famous children's book by Dr Seuss? Is it...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16It is, of course, In The Hat.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19The Cat In The Hat is the correct answer. Well done!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25CJ, which term means to cover an art canvas
0:03:25 > 0:03:28with a very watery, and thin, coat of colour?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35You mentioned I was having a bit of a hard time on Arts & Books
0:03:35 > 0:03:39but you never actually mentioned the result of those rounds, Jeremy.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Well, the result was that you needed about ten hours' counselling.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- And I won!- And you won. OK, you won, that's true.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50In that case, let's get this off to a winning start,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52and hopefully get the right answer with "wash".
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Well done, wash is correct, CJ.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Don't worry, Frances, he's just putting it on.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05The 1995 novel, American Tabloid, about the assassination of JFK,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07is by which author?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I don't recognise any of the names
0:04:14 > 0:04:20at all to even, kind of, work it out.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Stab in the dark...James Ellroy?
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Stab in the dark is quite right,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28James Ellroy is correct. Well done!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34CJ, Adonais is an elegy written on the death of which poet?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41You're not going to give me a date.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Thank you so much(!)
0:04:42 > 0:04:45You love poetry, we know that(!)
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Absolutely no idea.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I can't stand poetry, I know nothing about it.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I don't read it, don't like it, bores me to tears.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Byron!
0:05:01 > 0:05:02No! Keats.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Over to you, Fran.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Which artist painted the Feast In The House Of Levi,
0:05:10 > 0:05:14which was castigated by the Catholic Church for including
0:05:14 > 0:05:18buffoons, drunkards, dwarves, Germans and similar vulgarities.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Of all, El Greco jumps out at me.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Not sure if that's cos I've heard of it,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33or it's the right answer, but I'm going to go with El Greco.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37El Greco is your answer. Eggheads, is she right?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- ALL: No, Veronese! - Veronese.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42So, sorry Fran, wrong answer.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44CJ, you have a chance to come back.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47But you do need this question, or you are out.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50The Recruiting Officer,
0:05:50 > 0:05:54and the Beaux Strategem, are works by which writer?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I don't know the Beaux' Stratagem,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08but The Recruiting Officer I think is Farquhar,
0:06:08 > 0:06:09but let me have a moment.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Yeah, I think The Recruiting Officer is George Farquhar.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And it's correct, CJ, well done. Good play, you came back.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22So neck and neck after multiple choice.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26We now make it slightly harder, we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32Fran, who wrote Under The Volcano, a semi-autobiographical novel
0:06:32 > 0:06:38about an alcoholic British ex-consul in Mexico?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's another one I've heard of and I can't think of it,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44my mind's gone completely blank.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50No, sorry, I've got to pass.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51OK, Eggheads?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- ALL: Malcolm Lowry. - Malcolm Lowry's right.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Malcolm Lowry. So, to you, CJ.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00The Chrysalids, and The Midwich Cuckoos,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02are books by which British writer, CJ?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05His most famous was Day Of The Triffids,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- it's John Wyndham. - You're right.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Well done!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12After that you do take the round.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Fran, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17so you can't help your team in the final round.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Bad luck. Please now both come back,
0:07:19 > 0:07:20and take your positions here.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24As it stands, the challengers
0:07:24 > 0:07:26have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30The next subject is Geography.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Which is the geographer
0:07:32 > 0:07:34among the actors?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Peter, in the green. - Peter in green, OK.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Engineering student.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Which is the non-geographer, do you think, among the Eggheads?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I think Judith, yes.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Judith then, please.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49That's a lovely change.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Nice, you don't get that often, do you?- No.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54So, Peter from Act One versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57To ensure no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Peter, tell me if you want the first, or second, set of questions.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04The first set, please.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Here's your first question.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Dublin Bay, on which the city of Dublin stands,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15is located on which body of water?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21The Irish Sea.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Wow! That was so sudden!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25You don't want more time to think?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'm pretty sure.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29That's good, yeah, you're right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Correct, Irish Sea. Judith,
0:08:32 > 0:08:36which English tourist attraction is visible from the A303?
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Well, the A303 goes westwards through Wiltshire, etc,
0:08:47 > 0:08:48so it is Stonehenge.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Stonehenge is correct, yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- I drive past it all the time. - Yes, me too.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55All right, Peter, a sink- or swallowhole,
0:08:55 > 0:08:59is a characteristic feature of what kind of landscape?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05It's where the water erodes the rock
0:09:05 > 0:09:09around the cracks in...limestone.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12You are right. Well done!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15The engineering mind at work there!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Serving you well.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Judith, the Rastro Flea Market is located in which city?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I've never been to any of those cities.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Never been to Madrid, or Prague, or Oslo.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Rastro.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37It doesn't...could be Spanish, because it has an "o" at the end?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Where's likely to have a flea market? I'm going to go for Madrid.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43It is Madrid, well done.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Phew!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Two points each, tight game.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Peter, Muscat is the capital of which country?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I think...
0:10:01 > 0:10:04..I think it's Oman.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Why do you think that?
0:10:05 > 0:10:10I'm hoping it's emerging from the depths of my memory,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12but I'm not very confident!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Team mates, has he got it right?
0:10:14 > 0:10:15ALL: It is Oman.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18It is Oman. Three out of three!
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Lucky guess!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Judith, if you get this wrong
0:10:21 > 0:10:25then you are, very sadly, a goner.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28In which country is Lake Disappointment located?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'm moving away from Ireland.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40There aren't a lot of lakes in Australia, I don't think,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42because it is notably dry.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I think, maybe, Canada.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- That's your answer?- Yes.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53It's Australia, Canada is incorrect.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Peter, you have taken on one of the Eggheads and emerged triumphant!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Well done.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Act One, how about that?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03You can come and play in today's final round.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10The Eggheads and the challengers
0:11:10 > 0:11:13have each lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Next subject is Film & Television.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18How do you feel about that? I think probably good!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21You sound really uncertain, Rhys.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23We've got a decision...who to play?
0:11:23 > 0:11:24It's Kim, Pete or Rhys.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26We're going to go with Kim.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Kim, corporate services manager. - That's me!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31And which of this lot?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- I'll take on Daphne.- OK.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36So, Daphne, from the Eggheads,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39versus Kim from Act One.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42No conferring, so please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Kim, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I think I'll follow the others and go first, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Kim, long-running TV series, Z Cars,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58centred on characters in what type of job?
0:12:02 > 0:12:07I'm glad it's that question rather than details about characters.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's police officers.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Quite right, it is.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Your first answer correct. Well done.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Daphne, "wax on, wax off," is a phrase from which film of the 1980s?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23I don't know.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30You've seen that look of "I don't know."
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Um, Flashdance?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Wrong, Daphne.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39It's The Karate Kid.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Is it? Well! - Back to you, Kim.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Fran, you were doing
0:12:44 > 0:12:45an illustration of The Karate Kid?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Yeah! Wax on, wax off!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49What is "wax on, wax off"?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51It's waxing a car!
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Waxing a car, so that later in the film The Karate Kid
0:12:54 > 0:12:57can use it to karate chop some baddies.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Right, OK, here's your question.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Which animated film featured the voices of Ellen DeGeneres as Dory,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09and Geoffrey Rush as a pelican called Nigel?
0:13:13 > 0:13:19All fantastic films, but they provided the voices for Finding Nemo.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Finding Nemo is absolutely right.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Two points to you.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Daphne, next question.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Who is the presenter of the TV programme, Through The Keyhole?
0:13:35 > 0:13:40I saw it absolutely ages ago and it was David Frost then
0:13:40 > 0:13:43so I hope he hasn't moved!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46He hasn't moved, it's still him. Well done!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Third question to you now, Kim.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Get this right and you've taken the round.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Which comedian starred as the bookshop owner, Bernard,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58in the TV comedy, Black Books?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07I used to live with a guy in the university
0:14:07 > 0:14:12who was addicted to Black Books, and I think it's Dylan Moran.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Superb play from Act One, you're right!
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Three questions right, and so, Daphne,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22you can't come back, so I won't even give you your third question.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Well done, Kim, you took on an Egghead and you emerged triumphant.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30That's great news for Act One, as you can join us in the final round.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33So please, both of you, return to the studio and join your teams.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38The challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41the Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Our last subject is Sport.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Which challenger wants Sport?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Have you got a sport person there?
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- We should probably go with Rhys here.- We're glad it's come up.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I think I'm going to have to take on Sport.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Rhys, you can have Chris or Kevin.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01I think I'm going to take on Chris.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04You fool!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09He's in a bit of a mood about sport these days!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Rhys from Act One versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Great contest, this.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Rhys, you can choose the first or second set.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26First has served us well so far, so I'll continue that trend.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Here we go. Rhys, footballer Kevin Phillips scored
0:15:33 > 0:15:39115 times in 209 league appearances over six years with which club?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I'm pretty sure on this one.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47It's Sunderland.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49You are right!
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Chris, here's your first question.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Who announced his retirement from rowing in 1996 saying that
0:15:56 > 0:16:00anyone who saw him near a boat had his permission to shoot him?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Pinsent and Redgrave both went on
0:16:08 > 0:16:10to win gold in 2000 at the Olympics,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12so that wouldn't be them.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It must have been James Cracknell.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Ohhh!
0:16:16 > 0:16:20That strangulated cry you heard was CJ,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23because it's Steve Redgrave.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Presumably changed his mind did he, CJ?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27He did!
0:16:27 > 0:16:28OK.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Your second question now, Rhys.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Mike "Stevo" Stephenson commentates on which sport?
0:16:38 > 0:16:43I'm going to rule out cricket first, because I'm sure it's not that.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48I listen to a lot of Rugby League on TV,
0:16:48 > 0:16:55and I'm not sure about the commentators on that.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02Swimming, on the other hand, is quite tempting.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'm going to go with...
0:17:08 > 0:17:10..swimming.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Swimming is wrong.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13It's Rugby League.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Chris, over to you. Here's your next question.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19On a traditional dartboard, the 3 sits
0:17:19 > 0:17:22immediately between the 19 and which other number?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Well, straight down the middle, 13.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Any darts players among our Eggheads?
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Kevin, you used to play?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Yeah, 17.- 17 is the answer.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Chris, you're wrong.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Rhys, your next question. The Grand Match is a competition
0:17:44 > 0:17:48between participants from North and South Scotland in which sport?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Well, Scotland's famous for curling, I know that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Don't think it's golf,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04I don't know why they'd divide north and south on that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I'm going to go with...
0:18:09 > 0:18:10shinty.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Shinty is wrong.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17It's curling.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Chris, over to you.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Brett Favre was the star quarterback
0:18:22 > 0:18:27of which American football team from 1992 to 2008?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Bit of detective work going on here.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Brett Favre sounds like he might be of French extraction,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42which means he comes from somewhere up by Canada.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48And of those three teams, the one that was most successful
0:18:48 > 0:18:51in the period under discussion...
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Denver Broncos, apparently a bit of a joke.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58The Minnesota Vikings, I don't think have won much really
0:18:58 > 0:19:01so I'll say that he was with the Green Bay Packers.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Great logic, well done! Green Bay Packers is correct.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Where in the country is Green Bay?
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Top end of Wisconsin.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11So the geography logic was great.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Well done, Chris. One point each.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19We're moving now to Sudden Death, so, here we go. Rhys, Liang Wenbo
0:19:19 > 0:19:23is a rising star in which sport?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27It's spelt W-E-N-B-O.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I think it's snooker.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Snooker's right.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Well done! Chris, pressure on you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39The football team SL Benfica is based in which European city?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Portuguese...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Not Porto...Lisbon!
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Yeah! Lisbon is right, and the "L" in SL stands for Lisbon.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Still neck and neck. Over to you, Rhys.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Who came second in the 2007
0:19:58 > 0:20:02BBC Sports Personality Of The Year award?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Second...who won it?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Joe Calzaghe won it, I think.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Lewis Hamilton was up there.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'm going to go with Lewis Hamilton.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Correct!
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Correct!- Dear me!- Well done!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34He was favourite to win for a long time.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38You're right to mention Joe Calzaghe, cos he won it. Well done.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Chris, your question.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Which British skier, who was disqualified from the combined event
0:20:43 > 0:20:47at the 2006 Winter Olympics because her skis were too narrow,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51is named after Sophia Loren's character in the film El Cid?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Glorianna Shufflewick!
0:20:59 > 0:21:06- No, the answer's not Glorianna Shufflewick, it's Chemmy Alcott.- Oh.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08On the tip of your tongue, I know!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Well done to Rhys!- Well done, OK.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12APPLAUSE
0:21:12 > 0:21:13A bruising Sports round!
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Well done, Rhys. You took on one of those Eggheads,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19you emerged triumphant, it was not easily done.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Please both rejoin your teams here in the studio.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31But those of you who lost
0:21:31 > 0:21:35your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38So, that's Frances from Act One - Fran,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41and Judith, Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42You've done really well, Act One.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Please all leave the studio.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Rhys, Pete, Kim and Peter, you're playing to win Act One £8,000.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Good luck.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something
0:21:55 > 0:21:58which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03The questions are all general knowledge,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Act One, the question is -
0:22:06 > 0:22:10are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- First, yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I think we'll continue the trend, Jeremy.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20You're going first.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Best of luck, Act One, here we go.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Which Latin phrase literally means, "There is truth in wine"?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Yeah, vino means wine, so, happy with that?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Yeah, we'll go for, "In vino veritas."
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Quite right, well done. First point.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Don't want to trip up on that one!
0:22:47 > 0:22:52Eggheads, which acronym refers to the American tax collection service?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Do you want my help on that? Go on, then.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Well, you certainly wouldn't want the third one involved on your case!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06It's the IRS, Internal Revenue Service.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Absolutely right, well done.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09One each. Back to you guys.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12The popular country music show known as the Grand Ole Opry
0:23:12 > 0:23:17has, since 1925, been broadcast from which American city?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Nashville.- Nashville. Yes, definitely, 100% Nashville.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Kim is 100% on that one!
0:23:27 > 0:23:29It's Nashville, Tennessee.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Well done, Kim!- Thank you. - Have you been there?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- No, no, no.- You just know! - Yeah, I just know.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35You're right. 2-1.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Next question is for the Eggheads.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Who was the first member of the England 1966 World Cup squad
0:23:41 > 0:23:43to be given a knighthood?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Who was the first member of the England 1966 World Cup Squad
0:23:55 > 0:23:57to be given a knighthood?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Bobby Charlton and Geoff Hurst got them, didn't they?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Well, Geoff Hurst certainly did. - Yeah.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- But it was quite late.- Yeah, yeah.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Sir Bobby Charlton
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- has got a knighthood, I'm sure.- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Yeah, he has.- I can't record Bobby Moore ever getting one.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16When did he die?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21I'm sure Daphne knows this as well.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I think I'll have to go with Charlton.
0:24:23 > 0:24:29- I think so, yeah.- Yeah, shall we?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Sorry, not today.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35We just can't think of it, so we'll go with Bobby Charlton.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37It was Bobby Charlton, got it right!
0:24:39 > 0:24:41The next question is for Act One.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46"In my younger, and more vulnerable, years my father gave me some advice
0:24:46 > 0:24:48"that I've been turning over in my mind ever since,"
0:24:48 > 0:24:52is the opening line of which 1925 novel?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02"In my younger, and more vulnerable, years my father gave me some advice
0:25:02 > 0:25:04"that I've been turning over in my mind ever since,"
0:25:04 > 0:25:07is the opening line of which 1925 novel?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Before the options came up, I thought The Great Gatsby?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Mrs Dalloway was much earlier, I think.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16It's exactly the right time. The Great Gatsby.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Are you happy to go with that?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Yeah, The Great Gatsby.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Is the correct answer. - Whoa!- Very nice!
0:25:24 > 0:25:27All right, you've got three out of three.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You are playing very, very well.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32If the Eggheads get this wrong, you're going to win £8,000.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34You won't have to do any more work today!
0:25:34 > 0:25:42Eggheads, during Bill and Hilary Clinton's visit to London in 1997,
0:25:42 > 0:25:48Tony and Cherie Blair chose to take them to which restaurant,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50instead of holding a formal banquet?
0:25:56 > 0:25:57You get this wrong,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00and the challengers have won £8,000.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03As far as I know, The River Cafe doesn't have any private rooms.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07I've eaten there. It could do, but I'm not aware of it.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09The Ivy probably has private rooms upstairs,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11not in the downstairs restaurant.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13And I know nothing about LePont de la Tour.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18If we're looking at Tony and Cherie being the hip, young, new couple,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22then The River Cafe is more of that image rather than The Ivy.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24But, The Ivy, certainly at that time,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27was by far the most established, most famous restaurant, I'd say.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I'm inclined to The River Cafe.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Fine! OK!
0:26:33 > 0:26:371997 was when the Blairs had just come in.
0:26:37 > 0:26:45This idea of the trendy couples, young, hip, that sort of thing.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47The Ivy may be a bit more stuffy?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Well, it's certainly that sort of place, yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54So, ultimately it's a pure guess. We'll say The River Cafe.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57OK. The River Cafe is your answer?
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Something you didn't know about one of these restaurants
0:27:01 > 0:27:05is that it's on the banks of the Thames,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08and it has a stunning view down the Thames
0:27:08 > 0:27:11which includes the Houses of Parliament.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16and that's why Tony and Cherie Blair took Bill and Hilary
0:27:16 > 0:27:18to LePont de la Tour!
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Well done!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Challengers, you just won £8,000.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Congratulations!
0:27:28 > 0:27:31That is huge!
0:27:31 > 0:27:33How does that feel?
0:27:33 > 0:27:34ALL: Excellent!
0:27:34 > 0:27:39- Really well done! - Did not expect that at all!
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Wouldn't have got that question.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43The game went backwards and forwards,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46and you looked as if you were down and out for a while.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48What are you going to do with the money?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Pay off some student debts!
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Sure, that's a big part of life, right?- Yeah.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Congratulations then, you've won £8,000. Brilliant play!
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Well done! Eggheads, commiserations.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Great to see you in the studio, Act One.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09at least for the time being!
0:28:09 > 0:28:11You've proved they can definitely be beaten.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Join us next time on Eggheads to see
0:28:14 > 0:28:18if the new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Until then, after all this excitement, goodbye!
