0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 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 challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33You might recognise them as they've won
0:00:33 > 0:00:37some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Challenging the awesome might of our quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:43are The Plough Boys. The team have been friends for over 20 years.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47They ply their quizzing trade in the Wrexham Quiz League.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53Hi, my name's Brian, I'm 62, I'm a media distribution operative.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello, my name is John, I'm 68, I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hello, my name's Peter, I'm 65, and I'm a retired transport manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Les, I'm 65, I'm a part-time journalist.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Kaz, I'm 64 and I'm a retired builder.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- So, welcome, Plough Boys. - Thank you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Just tell us about how you all got together.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21It's mainly through our love of quizzing and we are now two teams,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25four of the members here play in the Plough Inn in Gresford,
0:01:25 > 0:01:26hence the name,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and the gentleman here plays in our local rival team, the Trevor Arms.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33So it's through quizzing we got together.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Les there is a journalist,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37you're a journalist too or have been?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- I was a journalist. - And doing what now?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43A media distribution operative. I deliver newspapers basically
0:01:43 > 0:01:47and phonebooks etc, but it sounds posher, doesn't it?
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Media distribution operative?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I picked that up from the press a few years ago.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53All right, well good luck to you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The exciting thing is we've got a new Egghead here.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Welcome to you, Barry. Very exciting to see you win
0:01:59 > 0:02:02all the knockout rounds that got you here, you must have been pleased.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03I was ecstatic.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07I couldn't believe I could beat such a challenging field.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Your wife calls you the human dustbin, I gather.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12She picked up a phrase that people in Japan
0:02:12 > 0:02:15with particular skills are called national treasures,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and she thought that because I have such a knowledge
0:02:18 > 0:02:21of obscure and weird facts, that I am a national dustbin.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I always wonder with you guys, you know all the stuff
0:02:24 > 0:02:27because you are interested in it or because you learn it?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30It's a mixture of both but the interest has to come first.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Like all of us, we suffer from intense curiosity.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37If the interest is there, we follow it up and read as much as we can.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Tell us your quizzing pedigree if that's not an embarrassing question.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Well, I've played on England teams with Kevin
0:02:44 > 0:02:48and we were fortunate to win a European team quiz championship.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I have been a semi-finalist on Mastermind and Brain of Britain
0:02:51 > 0:02:54so I still have hopes in those areas.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I'm the current Masterteam Champion of Britain
0:02:56 > 0:02:59and I won Come and Have a Go If You Think You're Smart Enough.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- I think he's going to fit in, Eggheads. What do you think?- Yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Great to have you, Barry.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:03:08 > 0:03:11for our challengers. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Plough Boys, the challengers won the last game,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20proving it can be done, which means £1,000 says
0:03:20 > 0:03:23you can't beat the Eggheads. Are you ready to try?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25We are, we certainly are, Jeremy.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Our first head-to-head battle is on of Film & Television.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Which of you wants this
0:03:31 > 0:03:33and against which Egghead?
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- Are you happy for Pete to do it? - I am too.- I'll give it a go.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Peter will give that a go.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Peter? And who do you fancy taking on here? Film & TV.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47That's a good question but I think I'll try Judith, please.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50All right. So Peter from the Plough Boys against Judith.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:03:54 > 0:03:56in the Question Room. Here we go.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Good luck, Peter. Now you choose -
0:03:57 > 0:04:01we'll have three multiple-choice questions, Film & Television.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Whoever answers the most questions wins the round.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Do you want to go first or second?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07I'll go second, please.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11First question to you then, Judith.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17Who played Maggie Pollitt in the 1958 film Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I do know that one. I think, probably because I saw it.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I think it's Elizabeth Taylor.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30You are quite right. Well done, first point to the Eggheads.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Back to you, Peter.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36In which country was the actor Hugh Jackman born?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I really don't know, erm... I'm going to rule out Ireland
0:04:44 > 0:04:46because I don't think it was Ireland.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51An even-money shot. I'll take Australia.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Lucky man, you're right. Well done.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Second one to you now, Judith.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town
0:05:00 > 0:05:02and The Worm That Turned
0:05:02 > 0:05:05are comedy skits starring which comedians?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I don't think it's Mitchell and Webb.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19I'm just trying to remember, I know I ought to know this.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I think it's the Two Ronnies.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- You're guessing as well, are you? - Well, I'm half guessing.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31OK, you got it right. Half a guess was good enough.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I think I did see that but I couldn't remember.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35They probably were a bit ruder as well.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well, I think they were, weren't they?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Marginally.- Over to you now, Peter.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Who is the regular host of the TV show American Idol?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I really haven't again got the faintest idea unfortunately.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I'll take a complete shot in the dark, Todd Newton.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Is wrong, I'm afraid. It's Ryan Seacrest.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06So, Judith, if you get this one right,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08you have taken the round.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12The 2008 TV series Johnny's New Kingdom
0:06:12 > 0:06:16was based around Johnny Kingdom developing a plot of land
0:06:16 > 0:06:18in which part of the UK?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Didn't watch that.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I saw it in the Radio Times, kind of thing, erm...
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Didn't notice where he was doing it.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I don't think it's the New Forest.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I have a feeling it might be Exmoor.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42If you get this right, you are through
0:06:42 > 0:06:44to the final and Peter is not.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46That's your answer, is it?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- I'm afraid so, yes. - Now don't be afraid, it is Exmoor.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52You are right, Judith, well done. You've taken the round.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- That's a first!- It's not a first, you're too modest.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Peter, sadly you were beaten by our Egghead, as a result,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02you won't be able to help your team in the final round
0:07:02 > 0:07:04so please, both of you, come back here to the studio.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Our next subject is History. Which of you challengers...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Ah, sudden nod here. You've got a player?
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- Well, we've got a good idea.- OK.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Yes, yes.- John, without any doubt. - Shall I baptise Barry?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Yes, we're going to nominate John.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Or shall I take out Kevin? It's a high-risk strategy.- Take out Kevin!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's a choice, you see.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I think I'll baptise Barry. See how good he is at history.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Here we go then. It is an exciting moment.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42John from the Plough Boys against Barry our new Egghead
0:07:42 > 0:07:45and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47How are you feeling, Barry?
0:07:47 > 0:07:47I'm raring to go.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- This is not the first time you've been in the question booth on Eggheads, is it?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55No, it isn't. I was on here just a few weeks ago.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Competing as part of a team.- I was indeed and we had a good start.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03We managed to knock out Kevin and CJ and we were going great guns
0:08:03 > 0:08:05and then the Eggheads made a brilliant comeback.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Well, sometimes that happens and the tactics are part of it but they only get you so far.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Yes, indeed. I mean, it all comes down to the questions in the end
0:08:13 > 0:08:15but they're such a tough team to beat.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Let's play. I'll ask each of you three questions on History in turn
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and, John, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Well, I wish to put Barry under greater pressure by going first.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33John, the Phoney War was the name of a period of relative inactivity
0:08:33 > 0:08:36at the start of which 20th-century conflict?
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Well, I didn't live through World War I,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48and I do not remember it being applied to the Korean War.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49I saw that war.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53So I would opt for World War II.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Quite right, John, well done. It was World War II.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00So, Barry, here we go.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Your first question as an Egghead.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07In 1606, the flag of which saint was displayed with that of St George
0:09:07 > 0:09:08to form the first Union flag?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14St Patrick's flag isn't part of the Union flag
0:09:14 > 0:09:20and St David, a Welsh flag, 1606.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Mmm, I have to think. St Andrew is a Scottish one obviously,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27which one would it be in 1606.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30The Act of Union with Scotland
0:09:30 > 0:09:35was later in 1707, so I think it would be St David.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Is the wrong answer, Barry. As a matter of fact, it's St Andrew.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42It means the Plough Boys are ahead. John, your second question -
0:09:42 > 0:09:45What was the name of the ship in which Captain Scott set off
0:09:45 > 0:09:48for his second Antarctic expedition in 1910?
0:09:51 > 0:09:56I believe the answer to that question lies in Cardiff
0:09:56 > 0:10:01where I believe that that ship is the Terra Nova.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Why does it lie in Cardiff, out of interest?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08In Roath Park, there's a monument to Captain Scott
0:10:08 > 0:10:12and I gather Cardiff was a port of call where he refuelled for coal
0:10:12 > 0:10:14and various things like that.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Therefore it is. There's a monument in Roath Park on Terra Nova.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Good play and you're quite right. Well done, John, excellent.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26So hang on...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29If you don't get this right, Barry,
0:10:29 > 0:10:30you're in a bit of trouble.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Claretta Petacci was the mistress of which dictator who was executed in 1945?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I'm unaware that Franco had any mistresses
0:10:41 > 0:10:43and Hitler's mistress was Eva Braun,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47but Clara Petacci was the mistress of Mussolini.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Quite right! You're on your way. Well done.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51So Eggheads have one,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54challengers have two. John, if you take this
0:10:54 > 0:10:57you will take the round and stop Barry playing in the final round.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Here's your third question.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03In Viking society, what was the name for a slave?
0:11:09 > 0:11:16I'm not 100% certain but of those terms, Viking terms,
0:11:16 > 0:11:22I've heard of jarl, J-A-R-L, and I would opt for that.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26It wasn't that. It was actually the more obvious one, thrall.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Oh, "enthral".- Exactly, yeah. - Yeah, yep.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33So we now have a situation where you can
0:11:33 > 0:11:36take it to sudden death, Barry, if you get this right.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Your third question -
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Who was on the British throne when the explorer Captain James Cook
0:11:42 > 0:11:43was killed on Hawaii?
0:11:47 > 0:11:52James II would be too early and William IV would be too late,
0:11:52 > 0:11:53In the 18th... Yes.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57William IV would definitely be too late, so it was George III.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Delivered with great conviction and Daphne is very happy,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03smiling at your answer. You're right, well done.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05So, two points apiece,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09You're level after three questions which means we go to sudden death.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Just to make it a bit harder, these questions won't be multiple choice.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- You ready, John?- Yes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Which Native American princess reputedly saved the life
0:12:19 > 0:12:24of the explorer John Smith when in 1607, as a young girl,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28she prevented her father Powhatan, having him clubbed to death?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Buried in Gravesend, that lady is called Pocahontas.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Quite right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38She jumped between Smith
0:12:38 > 0:12:40and his executioners.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43So to you, Barry, you need to get this right or you're gone.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48Which order of chivalry created by Edward III in 1348,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50was supposedly named when Joan,
0:12:50 > 0:12:57Countess of Salisbury, lost an item of clothing during a dance at Court?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The item of clothing that Joan lost was a garter,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01so the order of chivalry was the Garter,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04whose motto aptly is, "Honi soit qui mal y pense",
0:13:04 > 0:13:07or "evil be to he who evil thinks".
0:13:07 > 0:13:09You're quite right.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Your next question now, John.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Which historic house near Maidenhead in Buckinghamshire was the site
0:13:15 > 0:13:19of the first meeting of John Profumo and Christine Keeler?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Saw the film.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26It had a swimming pool...
0:13:27 > 0:13:31but honestly I do not know.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34My mind is a blank.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- You're taking a pass, are you?- Yes.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39The answer was Cliveden.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Barry, this for the round now.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43You've pulled it back well.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48The Battle of Caporetto was a disastrous World War I defeat
0:13:48 > 0:13:50for which country's army?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I believe it was right at the end of World War I, which is why
0:13:54 > 0:13:57it's not as well known, but the Italians, I believe,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01were fighting the Austrians and the defeated side were the Italians.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Quite right. Well done, Barry.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07You've pulled it back. John, we thought
0:14:07 > 0:14:10you were going to take out Barry in his first round
0:14:10 > 0:14:12as an Egghead but you didn't, I'm sorry to say.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15You can't play in the final round. Barry can.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Please both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21So as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains
0:14:21 > 0:14:25from the final round. The Eggheads are doing well, they've lost none.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28The next subject is Sport. Sport, challengers.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Who wants to go for that?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Obviously not John or Peter. - No, I think Les or Kaz will do.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Which would you prefer to do?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- We don't know at the last round. - That's the tricky point.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Yeah, we don't know what's coming up. I don't know.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Why don't you try to do sport?- Mmm.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Yeah. Kaz. Kaz, go on.- OK?- Yep. Kaz.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Kaz? You've got to choose who you're going against, Kaz?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Erm... - Who looks the least sporty?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- Chris is the least sporty. - Is he? Oh, I'll try against Chris.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So, it's Kaz from the Plough Boys
0:15:01 > 0:15:05against Chris from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring
0:15:05 > 0:15:08please do take your positions in the question room.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Kaz, good luck with this and I will ask
0:15:11 > 0:15:14if you want the first or second set of questions.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I'll go first, please.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23So here we go, Sport, Kaz. Which city hosted the 1984 summer Olympic Games?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Not Moscow, I think that was 1980.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Montreal was earlier. I'll go for Los Angeles.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Spot on, you're right. well done.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Chris, your question. In the hockey move known as the bully-off,
0:15:44 > 0:15:50how many times do the two opponents strike each other's sticks before going for the ball?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Well, seven would be a little grotesque, wouldn't it?
0:15:56 > 0:16:03And five is a bit time wasting, so one, two, three. I'll go for 3.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I love your logic, Chris. I've been missing it.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Three, yes. Correct, well done.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11One apiece. Back to you, Kaz.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Which snooker player scored the second 147 break
0:16:15 > 0:16:19of the 2008 World Championship at the Crucible?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Peter Ebdon, I don't think Peter Ebdon.
0:16:28 > 0:16:35Between Ali Carter and Ryan Day... I think it was Ali Carter.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Well, you just grabbed that answer with sudden certainty.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- You had a flashback or something? - I think I remember seeing that.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44You're right. Well done. It was.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Pressure on you, Chris, and how you love it
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- in the sporting round.- I hate sport.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54What is... I'm glad we got that out of the way early.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57What is the first event in the Olympic modern pentathlon?
0:17:00 > 0:17:05I don't honestly know. I know rifle shooting's somewhere in there
0:17:05 > 0:17:11but I think it's based on the skills necessary for battlefield couriers...
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Sort of First World War-type milieu.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17It would be leaping on a bike and peddling like mad
0:17:17 > 0:17:19to get out of the line of fire. So, cycling.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25Because it's based on the First World War, you think it's cycling?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Yeah.- OK. It wouldn't be shooting or anything?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Shooting comes later. - I see. The answer is shooting.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Sorry, Chris. So Eggheads one,
0:17:34 > 0:17:39challengers two. That means, Kaz, you get this right, you've knocked out an Egghead.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Smashed the shell.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46In which year did the Ireland Rugby Union team win their only Grand Slam title?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Mmm... I'm not sure about this one.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01I'll go for 1968.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06That's wrong, Kaz. Just missed the chance there.
0:18:06 > 0:18:101948 is the correct answer, not 1968.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Chris, your question.
0:18:12 > 0:18:19Which Italian football team's players are sometimes referred to as the Rosoneri?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Ah, the red and blacks, erm...
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Isn't there some Italian football team
0:18:31 > 0:18:34that borrowed a kit from Notts County
0:18:34 > 0:18:37and have played in red and black ever since?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43And I would think that would be Juventus.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Pure guess, knowing nothing whatever about Italian football,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48so I'll say Juventus.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52That's the wrong answer, Chris. It's AC Milan.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well, Kaz, well done.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56You took on an Egghead. You emerged triumphant.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Very good news for our challengers because it means Kaz can join them in the final round.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Congratulations. Please, both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11So as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13The Eggheads have only lost one.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16The last subject is Food & Drink.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Which is the foodie or the drinkie?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I think it might be Les.- Yes.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25I think the gentleman in yellow, Les, will volunteer for that one, please.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29This is the former or current journalist who's doing Food & Drink.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Yeah.- Always the right association. Who do you want to play?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Would you try Kevin?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Kevin because he's probably their weakest.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42All right. So it's Les from the Plough Boys against Kevin
0:19:42 > 0:19:46from the Eggheads on Food & Drink and to ensure there's no conferring
0:19:46 > 0:19:48please take your positions.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'm going to ask each of you three questions.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Les, as you know, you can choose the first or second set.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I think I'll try the first, please.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01So here we go.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Which foodstuff can be served over easy, or sunny side up?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14I'm actually going to know a question about Food and Drink
0:20:14 > 0:20:17because this was the one I just didn't wanna get.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23I don't think it's Scotch pancakes or cheese on toast,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26so can we try fried eggs, please?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29We can try them. You can have them over easy or sunny side up,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31whichever way you want. Well done.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33OK, Kevin, here we go.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37What is the term for small cubes of fried or toasted bread
0:20:37 > 0:20:40that are used as a garnish for soups or salads?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Those are croutons.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50They are indeed croutons, well done.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53OK, second question now for you, Les.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Which sauce is often served with warm asparagus?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Well, all journalists are honest in everything they say,
0:21:09 > 0:21:10as you probably realise...
0:21:12 > 0:21:17..but really the honest truth is I ain't got a clue.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21For the reason that the first on the screen
0:21:21 > 0:21:25was the correct answer in the first round...
0:21:26 > 0:21:33..and the fact that I would associate chasseur with chicken,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37I'm gonna go to the last of the answers in this round.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43So I'm gonna say Hollandaise for no really logical reason.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47OK. We followed that when you ruled out chasseur.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Quite how you then jumped to Hollandaise, I don't know!
0:21:50 > 0:21:54But don't give up with that logic cos it's working. You're right.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Poor old pomodoro was passed over.
0:21:58 > 0:22:05Kevin, Nam Prik is a spicy sauce central to the cuisine of which country?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14I believe that's much used in Thai cuisine.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- So Thailand. - You're right, Thailand it is, Kevin.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Well done.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21He's pushing you hard, Les.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I think you're going to have to get this right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- I think so.- All right, keep that logic button going.
0:22:28 > 0:22:35Here we are. Which nut is used in the Italian liqueur Frangelico?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Heaven knows what that could be...
0:22:45 > 0:22:49but I'll go for pistachio.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Pistachio is wrong. It's hazelnut.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57So you are now open to the possibility Kevin may knock you out.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Your third question, Kevin...
0:23:00 > 0:23:05Which fruits are an essential ingredient of the French dish Sole Veronique?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I'm not absolutely certain on this one.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Who knows, there may be variations,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17but I think what would be included in a Sole Veronique would be grapes.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- So, grapes. - I don't know how you do it
0:23:19 > 0:23:21but you're right, Kevin, it is grapes.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Which means you've taken the round.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Les, sorry, brilliant early play
0:23:26 > 0:23:30but you have been beaten by an Egghead so you won't play in the final round.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Please, players, will you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36This is what we've been playing towards - the final round,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39which as always is General Knowledge.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Those who lost your head-to-heads won't take part in this round.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47So that is John, Peter, and Les, I'm afraid, from the Plough Boys
0:23:47 > 0:23:51and Chris from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:23:52 > 0:23:59So Brian and Kaz, you are playing to win the Plough Boys £1,000. Daphne, Barry, Judith, and Kevin,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:24:01 > 0:24:03the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06As usual, I will ask each team three questions.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Plough Boys, the question is, are your two brains
0:24:12 > 0:24:16better than the Eggheads' four brains?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Brian and Kaz, do you want to go first or second?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Yes.- First, please.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24So your first question -
0:24:24 > 0:24:30Which baby accessory is known in North America as a pacifier?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34THEY CONFER INAUDIBLY
0:24:36 > 0:24:39We're gonna dismiss the rattle and the nappy
0:24:39 > 0:24:41and go for the dummy.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43You didn't think it was the nappy?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- We're almost sure. - It depends where you put it!
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Well, it does... We think it pacifies the mouth so...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52It's the dummy. You're right, well done.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54First to you. Good stuff. Eggheads...
0:24:54 > 0:25:02In Greek mythology, what was left in Pandora's Box after all the evils of the world had escaped?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08That would be hope.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10You all lit up and said hope at the same moment.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- It was an exciting moment. - We love Greek mythology.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16You do? Quizzers always do. You're right, hope is correct.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Left in Pandora's Box. Plough Boys...
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Second question to you.
0:25:21 > 0:25:28The first holes in the ozone layer were spotted during the 1970s by scientists working in which area?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I think it's Antarctica.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I've no idea at all, yeah?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Dismiss the other, are you sure?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43After much discussion, Jeremy,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47by my colleague here, we're gonna go for Antarctica.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Antarctica - after much discussion by him on his own, you mean?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Yes, after him telling me.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57You're right. Antarctica's correct, two out of two.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Hey...
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Could there be an upset? Barry's first run out.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Here's your second question, Eggs.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11A well known saying to suggest innuendo is, "As the actress said..." to whom?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I think it's the bishop.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23- He's well known for it.- Yeah, "As the actress said to the bishop".
0:26:23 > 0:26:25You're right. Bishop is the correct answer.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Two points apiece.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Next question is for the Plough Boys.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Acedia is the Latin word for which of the seven deadly sins?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40How do you spell that, please?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Acedia, A-C-E-D-I-A.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45A-C-E-D-I-A...
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I've no idea if it would be sloth, lust, or envy.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51You're the captain, you can pick the...
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Not sure about this at all.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Acedia, not giving us any clues really, so.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Our fearless leader will pick an answer.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I'll have to plump for lust, Jeremy, please.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04What's brought you to lust?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Well, as a pure guess.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I'm sorry, it's wrong. It's sloth.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Third question wrong, guys. You're in their hands.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Eggheads, the Pritzker Prize is a prestigious award
0:27:17 > 0:27:21that is presented annually to members of which profession?
0:27:27 > 0:27:31That would be architecture, Jeremy.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- You sure about that?- Oh, definitely! - All of you?- Yes.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39It's viewed as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for architecture.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Yeah, Nobel Prize in the architecture field.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Barry, I'm so glad you knew the last one,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47and you're right, Eggheads. Congratulations, you've won.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Commiserations, challengers. It does happen like that -
0:27:56 > 0:27:59you track each other and then ping. They just get the last one right.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02How's it been playing Barry?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06We've tried to take you out, Barry, but we couldn't do it. Sorry!
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- Barry, you pleased? - Relieved, I think, yes.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13You've got one under your belt. It would have been a classic if you'd all gone down on this one.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18They reign supreme over Quizland again.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You won't be going home with the £1,000, which means
0:28:21 > 0:28:24that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if the new challengers
0:28:29 > 0:28:31have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33£2,000 says they don't.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Till then, goodbye.
