0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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?

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads,

0:00:26 > 0:00:31where a team compete against the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:31 > 0:00:36You might recognise them, as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42Taking on our quiz Goliaths today are the Golf Roses.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46The team are all members of the English Women's Golf Association,

0:00:46 > 0:00:49the governing body for women's amateur golf in England. Let's meet them.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Linda. I'm 60 and I'm the performance director.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Emma. I'm 33 and I'm the tournament secretary.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Kirstie. I'm 37 and I'm the compliance officer.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Sara. I'm 29 and I'm a solicitor and a volunteer.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Karen. I'm 41 and I'm the compliance administrator.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13So, welcome, Golf Roses.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16And tell us first of all about the sleeveless jumpers.

0:01:16 > 0:01:21- Umm...- You suddenly look down as if you're surprised to find yourself wearing one.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- It's the team uniform. When you play for England, you wear a pink jersey. - You have done?

0:01:25 > 0:01:29I have - 20 years ago now - but very proud to have done so.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32This is about being an amateur golfer, correct?

0:01:32 > 0:01:37This is amateur golf - preparatory to turning professional in most cases nowadays -

0:01:37 > 0:01:43although I didn't choose that path but most of our internationals will go on to become tour professionals.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46And have you got the quizzing from the golfing or what?

0:01:46 > 0:01:47Um...we'll see.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49THEY LAUGH

0:01:49 > 0:01:54OK, let's see. Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59So, Golf Roses -

0:01:59 > 0:02:02the Eggheads have won just the last game

0:02:02 > 0:02:05which means £2,000 says you can't beat them.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Music.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10So, challengers,

0:02:10 > 0:02:12who wants to go on Music?

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Who's gonna do Music? - Kirstie.- Kirstie.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18If you really want me to.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Against which Egghead?

0:02:20 > 0:02:21- Who looks un-musical?- Chris.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Yeah, Chris.- Chris. - Yeah, we're going to go with Chris.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29OK. Kirstie from the Golf Roses against Chris from the Eggheads.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Please go to the question room.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Chris, we don't want questions on the Sugababes?

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Lots of questions on classical music for preference.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Kirstie, what's your strongest area?

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Absolutely the opposite.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46OK, three multiple choice questions in turn.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Kirstie, you can choose the first or second set.

0:02:49 > 0:02:50I'd like to go first, please.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Your first question.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Which nationality was Bizet,

0:02:56 > 0:03:00the composer of the operas Carmen and The Pearl Fishers?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Absolutely what I didn't want.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12It will have to be an absolute guess.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Bizet doesn't sound an Italian name at all.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16I would say...

0:03:16 > 0:03:20- French.- You're right. Well done, it's French.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Chris, your question.

0:03:23 > 0:03:30What name is given to the style of close harmony, unaccompanied singing, performed by four males?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36That is barbershop.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37That's right.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Barbershop is correct. Well done.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Second question for you, Kirstie.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Which Irving Berlin song begins with the line,

0:03:44 > 0:03:47"Heaven, I'm in heaven"?

0:03:53 > 0:03:57I'm desperately trying to sing it through my head. Um...

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Erm, but I don't think I've got that time - so I think Cheek To Cheek.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03You can sing it aloud if you want.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05I think you'd rather I didn't.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07You're right anyway, well done. Two points to you.

0:04:09 > 0:04:14Chris - who was the lead singer of the '80s groups The Communards and Bronski Beat?

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Oh. Now, it wasn't Boy George - he was Culture Club.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28And I think the lead singer of The Communards was Jimmy Somerville,

0:04:28 > 0:04:30so I'll say Jimmy Somerville.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Jimmy Somerville is absolutely right, well done.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Two apiece - tight round on music.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Kirstie, "You're twisting my melon, man",

0:04:40 > 0:04:44is a recurring line from a hit song by which Manchester band?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52This takes me right back to my university days, I'm afraid -

0:04:52 > 0:04:54it's Happy Mondays.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56It is Happy Mondays. What is the song?

0:04:56 > 0:04:59I'm trying to remember - what's the title of that song?

0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Step On, was it?- Step On.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02Yes, it was Step On.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04OK, Chris, if you get this wrong,

0:05:04 > 0:05:06you're out of the final round.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07Here's the question.

0:05:07 > 0:05:13What is the name of the long-necked, lute-shaped instrument of the Malinke people of Western Africa,

0:05:13 > 0:05:17that has 21 strings and is played like a harp?

0:05:23 > 0:05:27Ah. Now, I think I've heard of this thing.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32I don't think it's called a kora and I don't think it's called a jedinka.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35I think it's a djembe.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38You think it's a djembe or d-jembe?

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Whichever way we pronounce it, it's the wrong answer.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43- It's actually a kora.- Is it?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46So, golfers, hole in one.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Well done, Kirstie. Well done to you.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Great news for the challengers -

0:05:51 > 0:05:55they haven't lost anyone from the final round, Kirstie can play in that.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Chris can't, of course.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Come back to the studio.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04OK, as it stands, Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round,

0:06:04 > 0:06:06challengers have lost no brains.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Our next subject is Sport. Sport.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13I was wondering what reaction I'd get to that -

0:06:13 > 0:06:16crestfallen or excited - somewhere between the two.

0:06:16 > 0:06:17- Me? Me?- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19- I'm going to do that. - You're going to do it.

0:06:19 > 0:06:24OK, Emma, and which Egghead looks desperately unsporting. You can't have Chris.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Shall we go with Judith? - With Judith?- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29I want to take on Judith, please.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34So, it's going to be Emma from the Golf Roses versus Judith from the Eggheads.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Please go to the question room.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40OK, are you ready for this, Emma?

0:06:40 > 0:06:41Yes.

0:06:41 > 0:06:46Three questions on Sport in turn and you can choose first or second set.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49I will go first, please, Jeremy.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54The US athlete, Randy Barnes,

0:06:54 > 0:07:01set a world record in 1990 with a distance of 23.12 metres in which event?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Well, I'm not too sure. Erm...

0:07:09 > 0:07:12it's gonna have to be...

0:07:12 > 0:07:16a guess. Erm...

0:07:17 > 0:07:21I don't think it's going to be triple jump.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Erm, I think I'm going to go for the hammer.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29How you would guess between them, I don't know,

0:07:29 > 0:07:33- but you've guessed wrong - it's shot put actually.- OK.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Not triple jump - that would be inhumanly...

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Impossible.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Judith, in which country was the golfer Lee Trevino born?

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Ha!

0:07:42 > 0:07:44How did that happen?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Help. - You've gotta get this wrong now.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Oh, that's really frightening, isn't it? For me, I mean, to get it wrong.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00I can sort of see him in my head, actually.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03He's got dark hair and he's sort of rather square looking.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Can you see his passport?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Um, no. Um...

0:08:07 > 0:08:09I'm sure it's not Spain.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13I think that's put in as a kind of spoiler.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15I think he's South African.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Is that your answer?- I'm afraid so.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Do you want to clap now, golfing women?- Oh, no, please!

0:08:20 > 0:08:25- Yeah, you got it wrong.- Is it USA? - It's USA.- Oh, no.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- JUDITH LAUGHS - How about that?

0:08:28 > 0:08:34OK, back to you, Emma. The Dragons Rugby Union team play their home matches at Rodney Parade,

0:08:34 > 0:08:36in which Welsh city?

0:08:42 > 0:08:47Mmm. Another one that I am not sure of.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49I'm going to have to guess again.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Erm...

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Dragons, Dragons.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59I think I'm going to go for Newport, Jeremy.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Based on what?

0:09:01 > 0:09:02It was a complete guess.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05It was completely right, well done.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Your question, Judith.

0:09:07 > 0:09:14David Moyes, named the League Managers Association Manager of the Year

0:09:14 > 0:09:21in 2003 and 2005, became manager of which football club in 2002?

0:09:24 > 0:09:25In 2002?

0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Yup.- That's far too long ago.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30I can't possibly remember that far back.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Well, I don't think it's Portsmouth

0:09:34 > 0:09:38because I think Harry Redknapp has been there for quite a long time.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Six years that would be, wouldn't it?

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I think it's Everton.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48That's the correct answer.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49- Well done.- Oh!- Well done.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Something sticks, sometimes.- Yeah.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Well, the way to get into football, Judith,

0:09:54 > 0:09:57is to get season tickets and support a team.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59I think I'd rather die, frankly. SHE LAUGHS

0:09:59 > 0:10:02I thought you were going to say that.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04OK, Emma, back to you.

0:10:04 > 0:10:09In which year was the Women's Championship first introduced at Wimbledon?

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Oh, wow.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19I don't think it was 1884.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23Erm...so I think it's between 1924 and 1944.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29The first Women's Championship.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37I think I'm going to go for 1944, Jeremy.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39OK, that's your answer.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43- I suspect your team-mate Linda knows.- 1884.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44It was that long ago.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47- 1884.- Really? - The ladies had long flowing dresses.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Sorry about that.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Judith, if you get this right,

0:10:51 > 0:10:55you've taken the round - in a spectacular display of sporting knowledge.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Here we go.

0:10:57 > 0:11:05In 2002, Glynn Pedersen became the first Briton since 1988 to qualify for the Olympics for which event?

0:11:08 > 0:11:11It wasn't ski jump because that was Eddie The Eagle

0:11:11 > 0:11:14who perhaps shouldn't have qualified.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22Table tennis, I shouldn't think... Modern pentathlon.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24I think it might be table tennis.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yeah, you're wrong about that. But you know what?

0:11:28 > 0:11:30The Eagle reference was spot on. CJ?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- 1988, Calgary.- Yeah.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36That's the point Judith - I think Eddie was '88 and then Glynn...

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Was the next one! - Was the next one.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Is that right, Eggheads?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Oh, stupid me.- 2002, it's got to be a Winter Olympics, hasn't it?

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- So, it's got to be ski jump. - OK, so...

0:11:46 > 0:11:49That's really stupid. I should have thought that.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Bad luck, Judith. So, it now goes to sudden death.

0:11:52 > 0:11:58Emma. Hall Green, Peterborough and Romford stadiums

0:11:58 > 0:12:02all host which type of racing?

0:12:02 > 0:12:05That would be greyhound racing.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Spot on, well done.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09You're right.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13Judith - you get this wrong, you're gone.

0:12:13 > 0:12:18Which British darts player, born in 1962, was known as The Whippet in his youth,

0:12:18 > 0:12:23on account of his athletic physique?

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, absolutely no idea. Um...

0:12:26 > 0:12:30I don't know anything about darts players.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34And anyway, I don't know anything about The Whippet.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36I mean...

0:12:36 > 0:12:38presumably, he's very tall and thin.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Normally, they're not.

0:12:43 > 0:12:49Well, I can think of somebody The Viking and Phil "The Power" Taylor,

0:12:49 > 0:12:53who has been on this programme, but I can't think of any other darts players.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55I absolutely do not know.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- OK.- Yup.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'll take that as your answer. You came close though.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04- What?- Because it was the man they call The Viking - Andy Fordham.- Oh, no.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08And the reason it's interesting is because he's now, well he was 30 stone,

0:13:08 > 0:13:10went up to 30 stone,

0:13:10 > 0:13:12came down 10 stone,

0:13:12 > 0:13:14but he was thin in his youth.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16And then he was called The Viking?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18He's called The Viking because he got very fat.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Oh, and fierce.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22And fierce. And you lost the round.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25So, sorry about that, Judith.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Emma, well done.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28You took on an Egghead and you won.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32Fantastic for our challengers here - the Golf Roses -

0:13:32 > 0:13:36because Emma can play in the final round. Both, please, back to the studio.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round,

0:13:40 > 0:13:42challengers have lost none.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46Our next subject is Arts And Books. Which of you wants to play this?

0:13:46 > 0:13:48THEY CONFER Would you like me to take it?

0:13:48 > 0:13:49You've got two brains left, now.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51- OK.- I think you should have a go.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Well, I'll give it a go,

0:13:54 > 0:13:55but at least we have two heads left.

0:13:55 > 0:14:00- Who do you want to play against, Linda?- Arts And Books. - We've got CJ, Kevin and Barry.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02- We'll go with Barry.- OK.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Linda, from the Golf Roses against Barry, our new Egghead.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Do go to the question rooms, please.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Three questions, multiple choice -

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Linda, the first or second set?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17We have the honour - I'll stick with it and go first.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24In which building are the controversial Elgin Marbles displayed?

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Hope they remain there for a long time - they are very fine.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35They're in the British Museum.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38They are - said with conviction. Well, done.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41First point to you.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46Barry, by which first name was the playwright Strindberg known?

0:14:49 > 0:14:53I seem to remember that he was called August Strindberg.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54You're correct, well done.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57August, Oug-ust - who wants to go on the pronunciation of that?

0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Go with Oug-uost.- August Strindberg. Well done. One apiece.

0:15:01 > 0:15:06Linda, which writer of detective fiction also produced a long series of historical novels,

0:15:06 > 0:15:12including The Exploits Of Brigadier Gerard?

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Brigadier Gerard, I only remember as a racehorse.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25I can only think this is Arthur Conan Doyle, although I don't know them.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29It sounds like it comes from longer ago than PD James.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32So, I will go with Arthur Conan Doyle.

0:15:34 > 0:15:35Correct answer, well done.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Barry over to you.

0:15:38 > 0:15:45The portrait of Dr Felix Ray was painted in 1889

0:15:45 > 0:15:48and presented to its subject by which artist?

0:15:52 > 0:15:571889. Well, that immediately cuts Picasso out.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Renoir or Van Gogh.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06I know Van Gogh did quite a number of portraits around that time.

0:16:06 > 0:16:07I've not heard of this one

0:16:07 > 0:16:10but on the basis that he painted portraits around that time,

0:16:10 > 0:16:11I'll go for Van Gogh.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Van Gogh it was, well done.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Two apiece. Tight round.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Back to you, Linda. Good luck.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23The New Zealand writer, Katherine Mansfield,

0:16:23 > 0:16:26was particularly associated with which literary form?

0:16:33 > 0:16:36I read these at school, fortunately.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38They were very, very nice short stories -

0:16:38 > 0:16:41beautiful short stories - in the Chekhov genre.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43That's right.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Well done, Linda.

0:16:48 > 0:16:55Barry, what name was given to the artistic movement founded by Kasimir Malevich around 1915?

0:17:00 > 0:17:05Well, it's certainly not Orphism because that was a British movement.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07I think Marinetti was Futurism,

0:17:07 > 0:17:09so I think Malevich was a Suprematist,

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- and the answer is Suprematism. - Not often talked about,

0:17:12 > 0:17:14but that's absolutely right.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Suprematism is the answer.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Scores level,

0:17:19 > 0:17:20we move now to sudden death.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Linda -

0:17:21 > 0:17:24the novel, Tom Brown's Schooldays,

0:17:24 > 0:17:29draws heavily on the author's experience of life at which public school?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Rugby.

0:17:31 > 0:17:32Is right, well done!

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Written by Thomas Hughes. Over to you, Barry.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Which ballet features an innocent peasant girl

0:17:41 > 0:17:46driven mad by her love for the philandering Count Alberecht?

0:17:47 > 0:17:51Innocent peasant girl. Her love for the Count Alberecht. Mmm.

0:17:51 > 0:17:59I'm not totally sure on this one but I think it may be Les Sylphides?

0:17:59 > 0:18:04- Les Sylphides is your answer. - Uh-huh.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07The ballet...

0:18:07 > 0:18:09- is Giselle.- Ah!

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I always confuse those two.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Well, Linda -

0:18:14 > 0:18:19your knowledge is impressive, that's great for your team because you'll play in the final.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Well done. Sorry, Barry, you won't.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Do both of you come back and join your teams here in the studio.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30So, as it stands the Eggheads have lost three brains from the final round.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31You don't look good!

0:18:31 > 0:18:36The challengers still haven't lost any, our last subject is Science. Which of you wants that?

0:18:36 > 0:18:40- Oh, science!- That's easy! - Oh, I love that sound!

0:18:40 > 0:18:44- That'll be me!- She's the one with the science degree, so...

0:18:44 > 0:18:46OK, Sara, who do you wanna play?

0:18:46 > 0:18:49- I think CJ.- CJ.- CJ, then, it seems!

0:18:49 > 0:18:55CJ, right. So, Sara from the Golf Roses against CJ from the Eggheads.

0:18:55 > 0:19:00Let's see what happens. Good luck, no conferring, take your positions, please.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Sara, three multiple choice questions, you choose first or second set.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09First has worked well so far so we'll go with that.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Good luck to the pinks.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19Calamine lotion is frequently used in the treatment of which condition?

0:19:24 > 0:19:27I don't think it would work well with verrucas

0:19:27 > 0:19:31and I...I don't really think we'd go for alopecia.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35I think it's going to be used for the itchiness of chickenpox.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38- That's your answer.- Yes. - Well done, one to you.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45CJ, limestone is a sedimentary rock consisting chiefly of what?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53I think that's calcium carbonate.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56It is calcium carbonate. Well done, CJ.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59One apiece.

0:19:59 > 0:20:00Sara, back to you.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05What type of electric charge does an electron have?

0:20:10 > 0:20:12That will be a negative charge.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14That's right.

0:20:16 > 0:20:24OK, CJ, which group of people's eating habits can be described as anthropophagic?

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Well, I'm a vegetarian,

0:20:31 > 0:20:35I don't think I've ever eaten anything described as anthro.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37I suppose it could be applied to infants

0:20:37 > 0:20:40but generally it's applied to cannibals.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44You're quite right, two points each.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Sara. Which scientist is quoted as saying,

0:20:46 > 0:20:49"Imagination is more important than knowledge,"?

0:20:56 > 0:21:02This would seem like one I should know, but I genuinely don't.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07I'm going to go, just as a real guess, for Albert Einstein.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- That's your answer?- Yes.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15You're right. Well done, three out of three.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18CJ if you get this wrong you won't play in the final round.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Here we go - what type of creature is a babbler?

0:21:26 > 0:21:28Never heard of it.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33So...have fun, Kevin.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37A babbler is...

0:21:37 > 0:21:39a fish.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42No, no, no.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46It's a babbling bird. It's a bird.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49So, Sara, well done, you took on science, you took on CJ and won,

0:21:49 > 0:21:51you will be in the final round, CJ won't.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Please both of you come back and join your teams.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Well, this is most peculiar cos last time we had a team all in pink

0:21:59 > 0:22:03they won every round and it was all of them versus one Egghead

0:22:03 > 0:22:06and the Egghead was Kevin. That's where we are now.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11This is what we've been playing towards. Our final round, General Knowledge.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Of course, those of you who lost your head to heads

0:22:14 > 0:22:16will not take part. That's only from the Eggheads.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19It's Chris and Barry and Judith and CJ.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23In fact, would anyone not wearing pink, please leave the studio.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24LAUGHTER

0:22:26 > 0:22:29So, Linda, Emma, Kirstie, Sara and Karen,

0:22:29 > 0:22:32well done getting this far intact.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34You're playing to win the Golf Roses £2,000.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Kevin, you're playing for something that money just can't buy,

0:22:37 > 0:22:39the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46The questions are all general knowledge. You are allowed to confer.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47Golf Roses, the question is,

0:22:47 > 0:22:52are your five brains better than the Eggheads one brain?

0:22:52 > 0:22:55So, do you want to go with the first or second set of questions?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58We will stick with the first, it's stood us in good stead.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05So, Golf Roses, what does the Statue of Liberty hold in her right hand?

0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Torch?- Torch.- Torch.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13- It's on her right hand, isn't it? - Torch.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16You're right, torch. One to you.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18First question for the Eggheads.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Kevin, what is a chignon?

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Spelt, C-H-I-G-N-O-N. Chignon.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32It's a hairstyle, the roll at the back of the neck.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Is that the one you've got, or...?

0:23:34 > 0:23:36No, I stopped doing that.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40Just, um...I thought it wasn't masculine enough.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41Hairstyle is correct.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Which historical Spanish sailing ship

0:23:46 > 0:23:51was typically square rigged and had three or more decks and masts?

0:23:56 > 0:24:00THEY CONFER

0:24:02 > 0:24:05A la John Masefield, it's a galleon.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08Galleon is right, well done.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Pressure on Kevin,

0:24:10 > 0:24:13playing on behalf of all the Eggheads.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15On what day of the year did Shakespeare die?

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Well, according to, well... yeah, legend, pretty much,

0:24:23 > 0:24:27he was both born and died on St George's Day.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30That is the correct answer, Kevin.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Next question is for the Golf Roses.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35You need this to keep the pressure on him.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39Who became the first woman to fly across the English Channel in 1912?

0:24:45 > 0:24:50Amy Johnson flew to Australia, didn't she? And she died in the war.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- I have no idea!- I would have gone for Amy Johnson.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56I would have thought Amy Johnson.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59But didn't she... She's the only one I've heard of.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03I was named after Linda Rhodes Moorhouse

0:25:03 > 0:25:06who flew across the Channel in the First World War...

0:25:06 > 0:25:09- She's not on the list! - But she's not on there!

0:25:11 > 0:25:15You don't think it's Amy? Did she fly to Australia after 1912?

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Well, let's look at the dates here.

0:25:16 > 0:25:22She died in the war, delivering planes to airfields,

0:25:22 > 0:25:25she disappeared into the Thames, or something,

0:25:25 > 0:25:28so supposing she was in her thirties in 1940-something,

0:25:28 > 0:25:32she wouldn't have been old enough to fly the Channel in 1912.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36- In which case it's...- I've never heard of either of the other two.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Nancy Bird or Harriet Quimby?

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Any ideas?

0:25:40 > 0:25:44- No?- No. No idea.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Due a guess.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Sounds like it ought to be Nancy Bird if she flies the Channel,

0:25:49 > 0:25:51but I've never heard of her.

0:25:51 > 0:25:55Harriet Quimby is such an unlikely name they couldn't have made it up.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58- I think...- You sure it's not Amy Johnson?

0:25:58 > 0:26:03I'm not sure, but by logic, if she...

0:26:03 > 0:26:06She would have to have been 20-something in 1912,

0:26:06 > 0:26:09would she still have been flying... I suppose she could...

0:26:09 > 0:26:11She died delivering Spitfires and Hurricanes

0:26:11 > 0:26:17- to airfields...- How old was she? - I dunno, I didn't ask her!

0:26:17 > 0:26:20- I think we should go with Amy Johnson.- We'll go with Amy Johnson.

0:26:20 > 0:26:25With my reservation. Right, because she is the only one we've heard of

0:26:25 > 0:26:27we're gonna go with Amy Johnson.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Amy Johnson is your answer, OK.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32You made the mistake of overruling

0:26:32 > 0:26:35the person on the team with the most knowledge by far.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Linda, you were on the right track

0:26:37 > 0:26:41it wasn't Amy Johnson, it was Harriet Quimby, as it happens.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Oh, nearly got there, too.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Kevin, this is the third question

0:26:45 > 0:26:48if you get this right you've taken the contest.

0:26:48 > 0:26:54In the US Government what is the official lowest level of classified document?

0:27:01 > 0:27:06It depends how closely - as an ex-civil servant -

0:27:06 > 0:27:12it depends how closely it follows the parallels of the British system.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17Eyes only is really the top secret,

0:27:17 > 0:27:19because that's only for certain, specified people.

0:27:22 > 0:27:28In the British system confidential ranks lower than secret.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30So, it should be confidential,

0:27:30 > 0:27:33so I hope it's not different from the British system

0:27:33 > 0:27:35in which case it would be confidential.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Confidential is your answer.- Yeah.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39If you get this right,

0:27:39 > 0:27:44you've sent the wonderful Golf Roses home with no prize.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47And it is right. Well done, Kevin.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.

0:27:55 > 0:28:00Commiserations, challengers! It was the Amy Johnson, and it, oh...!

0:28:00 > 0:28:01It's been great having you,

0:28:01 > 0:28:04team in pink, you did what the other team in pink did.

0:28:04 > 0:28:09In fact, exactly what they did, getting here and then losing to him! Quite extraordinary.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11The Eggheads have done what comes naturally,

0:28:11 > 0:28:14they still reign supreme over quizland

0:28:14 > 0:28:17and I'm afraid you won't be going home with £2,000.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19The money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?

0:28:21 > 0:28:26Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29£3,000 says they don't.

0:28:29 > 0:28:30Till then, goodbye!
