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.
0:00:16 > 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 have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42And taking on our quiz champions today are the Pit Stop Pirates.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Team captain Baz runs a motorway tea bar
0:00:45 > 0:00:50and the rest of team have been regular customers for the past 15 years. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Baz, I'm 59 and I run the Pit Stop Tea Bar.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm John, I'm 58 and I'm a window cleaner.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm David, I'm 59 years old and I'm a retired company director.
0:01:03 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Roger, I'm 57 and I'm a retired window installation contractor.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 57 years old and a retired company director.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Welcome, Pit Stop Pirates. So, Baz, you're the key guy.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Yes.- You're the link man.- Yes, I'm the link man.- Where is this tea bar?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24It's in Buckinghamshire between Princes Risborough and Chinnor.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27It's in a lay-by. I tow the vehicle there every day,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30a mobile tea bar, and these customers come along
0:01:30 > 0:01:35and discuss current affairs, price of fuel, everything like that.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36How often do you see these guys?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40More or less every day. Most of them. Three of them are retired.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46This is how you've got your quiz knowledge together - you've worked out that you know stuff.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48We've got a plan.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Let's see if it works, shall we?- Yes!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Every day, there is £1,000 in cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03So, Pit Stop Pirates, the Eggheads have won the last two games
0:02:03 > 0:02:07which means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Are you ready for our first head-to-head battle?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So, challengers, who wants to play this one?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18THEY CONFER
0:02:18 > 0:02:21It's the poison chalice. Head on the guillotine?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- You won't shoot me for it?- No.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- OK?- Yeah.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- Who's this? John?- Yeah. - It's the poison chalice, but we'll go for this.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I will take on, I will say Daphne.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38So, John, from the Pit Stop Pirates, against Daphne from the Eggheads
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- John, three multiple choice questions and you can choose the first or second set.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I'll go first, I think, please, Jeremy.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00So, here we go. In the 1954 Dr Seuss' book Horton Hears A Who,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02what type of animal is Horton?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10I'll have to think this one out, Jeremy.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I've not got much of an idea.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I will go for aardvark, please, Jeremy.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Aardvark is wrong.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I'm sorry, John. It was actually an elephant
0:03:20 > 0:03:22in that children's book.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Daphne your question.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30In which present day country was the 19th-century composer Jacques Offenbach born?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39He was actually born in Germany but he moved to France and became
0:03:39 > 0:03:41a naturalised Frenchman.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Germany is right, well done, Daphne.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Always impressive.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47John, over to you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:55Which school of painting is characterised by effects of light in landscapes emphasising tranquillity?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I think this is luminism, Jeremy.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05That's right, well done.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07On to you, Daphne.
0:04:07 > 0:04:14The 2007 novel Runemarks is the first children's book to be written by which author?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Could you spell it?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Yes. R-U-N-E-M-A-R-K-S.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Oh, no idea.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Completely passed me by.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34David Baldacci.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Is wrong, it's not the right answer, it's Joanne Harris.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41You're still level. John, if you get this, you put pressure on Daphne.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46"Happy families are all alike, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,"
0:04:46 > 0:04:50is the first line from which Leo Tolstoy novel?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I'm not sure about this at all.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I'm slightly on the back foot on this one.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06I'll have to take a stab at Anna Karenina.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09What made you do that?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Somewhere, I think, in the back of the computer, it's cropped up,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17but that's the only reason. I don't say it with any certainty.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- A file popped up in the hard drive? - Somewhere.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Well, it was the right file. Well done, John, you got it right.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Daphne, if you get this wrong,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30you are not in the final. Here we go.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35The play, The Two Noble Kinsmen, attributed to John Fletcher and William Shakespeare,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38is based on which story from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It's The Knight's Tale.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52You're quite right. It is, Daphne, well done.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54OK.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57You've got the same number of questions right after three questions,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00so we go to Sudden Death, and to make it harder,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03these questions are not multiple choice. Ready, John?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Ready when you are, Jeremy.
0:06:05 > 0:06:12In the title of a poem by A E Housman, from which county does the lad of the title come?
0:06:15 > 0:06:20I'm going to say Derbyshire without any conviction whatsoever.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I'm sorry the title of the poem was A Shropshire Lad.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The answer was Shropshire.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Daphne, this for the round.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32If you get this right, you are going to knock John out.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Which children's book by Eric Carle, originally published in 1969,
0:06:37 > 0:06:43features the journey of a creature who eats his way through various foods
0:06:43 > 0:06:45before emerging as a butterfly?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49It's called The...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Very Hungry Caterpillar.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Yes, you're right.
0:06:56 > 0:07:02It's the second most favourite children's story in a recent poll.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Fantastic. That gives you the round. So, you've beaten John.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Sorry, John - beaten by our Egghead.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11As a result, you will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Please both of you come back to the studio.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17So, the challengers have lost one brain
0:07:17 > 0:07:20from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23The next subject is Politics.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26A-ha, this is the thing you discuss when you get the tea with Baz.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30So, which of you wants to take on politics?
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- I'll take it.- It's going to be Chris.- Chris.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'll take on Barry.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Barry, we haven't done Barry on politics yet, have we?- Not yet.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44OK, Chris from the Pit Stop Pirates versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Do please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52OK, three questions on politics in turn, multiple choice, of course.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Chris, you can choose first or second set.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I'll go first, please.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Chris, who became the Mayor of London in May 2008?
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Well, I'm pretty sure... Well, I know the answer because he was,
0:08:11 > 0:08:17before he became the Mayor, our MP for Henley, and it's Boris Johnson.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Absolutely right. How could one forget?
0:08:23 > 0:08:29Barry, who published her memoirs in a book called Speaking for Myself in May 2008?
0:08:33 > 0:08:38I think Margaret Thatcher's memoirs were imaginatively titled,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42The Margaret Thatcher Years, and Edwina Currie published her memoirs
0:08:42 > 0:08:44somewhat earlier, so it was Cherie Blair.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47It was indeed Cherie Blair.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Over to you now, Chris.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Stephen Harper became Prime Minister of which country in 2006?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I really don't know the answer to this one, Jeremy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I'm going to have to make an educated guess.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I don't think it was Ghana. I've a feeling it wasn't Ghana.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18I think I'm going to go for Australia.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22You went the wrong way. It's Canada.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Stephen Harper, Canada.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27OK, Barry.
0:09:27 > 0:09:33What is the form of government in which the possession of property is a qualification for holding office?
0:09:41 > 0:09:46The Physiocrats in 18th-century France were great believers
0:09:46 > 0:09:51that property ownership should be a sine qua non for holding office,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53but of those three choices,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56theocracy sounds as if it's a government by priests,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59meritocracy is a government by the most able,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01would that we had that all the time,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and the answer to this must be timocracy.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07It is the answer, you're quite right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10OK, Chris, you need this one.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14In the House of Commons, what name is given to a vote
0:10:14 > 0:10:19during which members go into the Aye and No lobbies and are counted?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Um... Again, I'm not absolutely sure,
0:10:26 > 0:10:31but I do seem to recall the use of the word "division bells".
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I think it's division.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Division is the correct answer, well done.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Still in there.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43If you get this question right, you've taken the round, though.
0:10:43 > 0:10:50What is the name of the presidential study adjacent to the Oval Office in the White House?
0:10:55 > 0:11:00This one is new to me. The Cabinet Room is certainly in Downing Street,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02so I'm not too sure if there was one in the White House,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05and it doesn't sound as if Treaty Room would be suitable.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10There were two Roosevelts who were presidents of the USA.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I think I will choose Roosevelt Room.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I don't know if the Roosevelt Room exists.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18It's not that, it's Treaty Room,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21which is next to the Oval Office in the White House.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23So, you're level
0:11:23 > 0:11:28after three questions each. We go to Sudden Death. Here we go, Chris.
0:11:28 > 0:11:34The Caravan of Death, which involved an army unit touring cities,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36killing political opponents of their leader,
0:11:36 > 0:11:41occurred in which South American country in October 1973.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I don't know the answer. I'm going to have to work it out.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47South American rather than Central American.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'm going to guess Chile.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Good guess, you're right.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Your question now, Barry.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02The Coroner was the nickname of which British Prime Minister?
0:12:03 > 0:12:08Well, I've nothing to go on, but I know Robert Peel was described
0:12:08 > 0:12:13as having a smile like the silver handles on a coffin, so I'll say Robert Peel.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Lovely bit of logic, but you're wrong, Barry. It was actually Neville Chamberlain.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22That answer means, Barry, that you won't play in the final round.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Chris, you will. You took on the newest Egghead and you emerged triumphant.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Well done, challengers, do both of you come back to the studio.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34So, as it stands, the challengers
0:12:34 > 0:12:38and the Eggheads have lost one brain each from the final round.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Our next subject is sport. Who wants sport?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Baz, you look worried.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47THEY CONFER
0:12:47 > 0:12:49It can't be John, it can't be Chris.
0:12:49 > 0:12:56- Barry, I think...- OK, shall I do this one?- Go on, Barry. I've got the greatest faith!
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- He's the one who looked the most worried.- Yeah.- Against who?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I'll try CJ, please.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Baz from the Pit Stop Pirates against CJ from the Eggheads,
0:13:07 > 0:13:13and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room now.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16So, I will ask each of you three questions on sport in turn.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Baz, you can choose the first or second set.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Baz, in standard American pool, what colour is the eight ball?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Um...
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Yellow...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Yes, I think the eight ball is black, Jeremy.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44How did you do that? I'm fascinated.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I have played a bit of pool, I'm sure that's right.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48You're right, it is right.
0:13:51 > 0:13:57CJ, your question. In golf, "dance floor" is a slang term for which part of the course?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I've watched quite a bit of golf
0:14:02 > 0:14:04and I've never heard "dance floor" used as a term.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I can only assume it's the green...
0:14:10 > 0:14:12..because that's the... I suppose it's the smoothest.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I've never heard the term, but I'll go for green.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Yeah, green is right.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Your next question now, Baz.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26The rugby union team known as Sale Sharks is based in which town?
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Um...
0:14:33 > 0:14:37I don't really know the answer to this one at all, I'm afraid.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It will have to be a complete guess.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I'll say Salford.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Salford is wrong, Baz, sorry.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50It's actually Stockport where the Sale Sharks are based.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55CJ, which middle distance runner was nicknamed the Jarrow Arrow?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01No, not heard this one either...
0:15:03 > 0:15:10..but I don't naturally associate Coe or Cram as coming from the North.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I don't think Coe did. I'm not sure where Cram came from,
0:15:13 > 0:15:19but I haven't heard it. Let's go for the oldest, let's go for Steve Ovett.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Yeah, that's interesting.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24It's not Ovett. Barry?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Steve Cram came from Jarrow.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Yes, he's very much associated with the Northeast of England.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32So, one point each.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Baz, put the pressure on, get this one right.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40In which year did John Parrott win the Snooker World Championship?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49John Parrott... Oh, dear...
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Um...
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I'll go straight down the middle, Jeremy. '91.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Correct answer.- Thank you.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Brilliant, straight down the middle.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05CJ, see if you can have the same brilliant bit of luck.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Who is the only England footballer to have scored in three separate World Cups?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I think it's Beckham, but hold on.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24No, I'm going to go for Beckham.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29You're quite right. Absolutely right. It was David Beckham.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32So, after three questions, your scores are level.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36We go to Sudden Death. And it gets a bit harder now, because Baz,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40as you know, the questions are not multiple choice. Are you ready?
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- Yes.- Which judo competitor carried the Great Britain flag
0:16:45 > 0:16:52at opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympics - the first from judo to receive this honour?
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Blimey.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04Well, the only judo person I've really heard of,
0:17:04 > 0:17:08although I think it was before this time,
0:17:08 > 0:17:12but he's the only one that comes to mind, is Brian Jacks.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It's wrong. It's Kate Howie.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19The only British woman to have won two Olympic judo medals.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22CJ, this for the round.
0:17:22 > 0:17:29In 1980, who became the first Canadian snooker player to win the World Professional Championship?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Cliff Thorburn.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34You looked very happy saying that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I know snooker. Cliff Thorburn.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41It is Cliff Thorburn. So, you have taken the round, CJ, well done.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Baz, I am sorry.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47You were beaten by an Egghead. You won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Please come back and rejoin us.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54So, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56while the Eggheads have lost just one brain.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00The last subject is Film & Television.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Who wants that?
0:18:02 > 0:18:07That will be me, Jeremy. We need to leave David in at the end.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- OK.- I'll go, whatever it is.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- OK!- Who are you going to take on? - Who do you fancy?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14It can't be CJ, Daphne or Barry.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I'll take on Judith, please.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19All right. Roger from the Pit Stop Pirates
0:18:19 > 0:18:25against Judith from the Eggheads, and do take your positions now.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Here we go - three questions on Film & Television.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- Roger, you can choose, first or second set.- I'll go first, please.
0:18:36 > 0:18:42Roger, what is the name of Sacha Baron Cohen's flamboyant Austrian fashion reporter alter ego?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49I'm sure I've seen this, but I can't remember what it was.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I'm going to have to make a guess at this one and I'm going for Bruno.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Bruno is correct, well done, Roger.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04Which comedian played various members of the Balowski family
0:19:04 > 0:19:06in the sitcom The Young Ones?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I feel like a fish just opening and shutting my mouth.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Ben Elton.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Good associations cos he was involved, but it wasn't him,
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- it was Alexei Sayle.- Oh, dear, it was between him and Alexei Sayle.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Bad luck. Your second question, Roger, to take the lead.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41Which documentary maker presented the Weird Weekends TV series?
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Something's telling me to say Nick Broomfield, so that's my answer.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55The something needs to be caught and punished
0:19:55 > 0:19:59because it was not Nick Broomfield, it was Louis Theroux.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Bad luck. Over to you, Judith.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Which siblings directed The Matrix trilogy of films?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15The Matrix series of films?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Yes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22I go to films and I don't look at who does the direction.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Anyway, I didn't go to those films.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27CJ doesn't go to films and he does look!
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Well, he just learns lists. I can't do that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33What about the Farrelly Brothers?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- What about them? - Maybe they directed The Matrix.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40CJ what does your list say about the Farrelly Brothers.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Certainly that they didn't direct The Matrix films.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44It's the Wachowski Brothers.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Yeah. Wachowski is the answer, Judith, I'm sorry.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Third question to you now, Roger.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55If you get this one right, you've taken the round.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Which US TV series is set at the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10I do believe I saw this last week.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15It's certainly not Scrubs. It could well be Grey's Anatomy.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18That's my answer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21And, it's wrong, it is House.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- If you don't get this, Judith, you are not in the final round.- I know.
0:21:27 > 0:21:33The Channings and the Giobertis were two warring families in the 1980s, in which US TV soap?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42The Giobertis and who?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- The Channings.- The Channings.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I don't know.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Actually, I have watched Falcon Crest and Knots Landing
0:21:51 > 0:21:53but it's a terribly long time ago.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Um...
0:21:57 > 0:22:02I'll just have to guess again and say Knots Landing.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- Have you ever seen Knots Landing? - I have, but I mean, years ago.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It's not that. It's the one you watched, it's Falcon Crest.
0:22:09 > 0:22:15- I watched both.- OK, well, in that case, Judith, bad luck.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19You've been beaten by Roger. Well done, Roger.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Both of you, please come back and join your teams.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Our final round - General Knowledge.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:22:32 > 0:22:38won't be allowed to take part, so Baz and John from the Pit Stop Pirates
0:22:38 > 0:22:42and Barry and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46I know it sounds severe, please leave the studio.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51So, David, Roger and Chris, you are playing to win the Pit Stop Pirates £3,000.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you are playing for something money can't buy -
0:22:55 > 0:22:57the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05This time, the questions are all General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Pit Stop Pirates, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14David, Roger and Chris, first or second set of questions?
0:23:14 > 0:23:19- Shall we say first?- We've done well going first, so we'll stay first.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24And very best of luck to you.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27In German, what does the word, "bitte" mean?
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Happy with that?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- Yes.- Not a pint of bitter!
0:23:37 > 0:23:41We think the answer is "please", Jeremy.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43"Please" is spot-on, well done.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Eggheads, Dreams, Rise and a cover of the Dionne Warwick classic Walk On By
0:23:50 > 0:23:54were all UK top ten hit singles for which singer?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- Gabrielle?- Yeah.- Gabrielle, Jeremy.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05That's right.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Second question to you.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12The essential oil of which spice is used in some parts of the world
0:24:12 > 0:24:14as a painkiller in dentistry?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I think it's clove.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- It's clove.- It's clove.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25THEY CONFER
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Are we sure?- Yeah.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29It's cloves.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Definitely.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32We think the answer is clove.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35You sound like you're really sure.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Pretty damn sure.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Very encouraging. Clove is right, well done.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Two to you.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Eggheads, to which group of dogs does the English pointer belong?
0:24:49 > 0:24:55- Gundog...- It should be a gundog. - I don't know what a pastoral is.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00- No...- It just points.- Yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03On the basis that the function of a pointer
0:25:03 > 0:25:07is to indicate game, gundog.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Quite right, it is gundog.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Two each.
0:25:12 > 0:25:18Pit Stop Pirates, what nickname was given to the door-to-door French onion salesmen
0:25:18 > 0:25:20prevalent in the 1920s?
0:25:29 > 0:25:35- Willies doesn't sound right. I'm sure it's Johnnies.- Sure?- Sure.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39I don't know. I haven't a clue.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- I'm sure.- Right.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Jeremy, I think we're going to go for Onion Johnnies.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Bang on. Onion Johnnies is correct, well done.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53Three out of three, brilliant play.
0:25:53 > 0:26:00Eggheads, the New York socialite Plum Sykes is a famous name in which field of journalism?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07You get this one wrong, you've lost.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11It's ringing a faint bell, which makes me think
0:26:11 > 0:26:19- it's not film or food, but... - I thought fashion... I don't know.
0:26:19 > 0:26:25If only because it's ringing something with me...
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- I can't say...- I'm sure it's not film.- No.
0:26:28 > 0:26:36- Shall we...?- It's more likely to be fashion.- Yeah.- Go for it.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38As you might have guessed, we're not absolutely certain
0:26:38 > 0:26:40but we'll go for fashion.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43If you get this wrong, then you've lost the entire contest.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46It's a good job we haven't, then, isn't it, Jeremy?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48You haven't got it wrong.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Plum Sykes is a fashion journalist.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Eggheads, you've saved it. Three points each after three questions.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It's tight. We go to Sudden Death,
0:26:56 > 0:27:01and, of course, to make it harder, these are not multiple choice.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06Which English author wrote the officially endorsed James Bond novel, Devil May Care?
0:27:11 > 0:27:16That's someone that was just published in the last...month ago.
0:27:16 > 0:27:23Is it something like Martin Amis? I think it's Martin Amis.
0:27:23 > 0:27:29- I think it was Martin Amis. - I'm not sure.- Any other offers?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's a long shot.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34We don't know,
0:27:34 > 0:27:38we sort of have a feeling it might be Martin Amis.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Martin Amis is wrong, I'm afraid.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Sebastian Faulks wrote it.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46So, Eggheads, you get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49The thin strands of volcanic glass
0:27:49 > 0:27:55drawn out from molten lava are named after a Hawaiian volcanic goddess
0:27:55 > 0:27:59who shares her name with which footballing legend?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03THEY CONFER
0:28:03 > 0:28:08- It is Pele, isn't it? - That's a Hawaiian goddess... Pele.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I've never heard it as the Hawaiian goddess...
0:28:10 > 0:28:13We think it's Pele, Jeremy.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15You've won, it's Pele.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Commiserations to our challengers.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. They still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42£4,000 says they don't.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Until then, goodbye.
