0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:13 > 0:00:15quiz 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 pit
0:00:27 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33You might recognise them as they are goliaths in the world of TV
0:00:33 > 0:00:36quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today are...
0:00:41 > 0:00:45The team play in various quiz leagues in and around Bradford,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and along with winning the coveted League Plate this year, they've won
0:00:48 > 0:00:52the Brain Of Bradford for the last four years. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Peter.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58I'm 70 and I work as an administrator.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm John. I'm 58 and I am a civil servant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 32 and I'm a business analyst.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm John. I'm 60 and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Gary. I'm 69.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I'm a retired financial adviser.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Welcome, Four Plus One! So, Peter, you come together through quizzing?
0:01:17 > 0:01:22- Yes, we certainly do, yes.- And you love it, I guess?- Yes, we love it.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Not really fanatical, but we do love a few quizzes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And your various professions represented...we've a civil servant, a business analyst.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35- A retired schoolteacher, John? - Yes, that's right.- Does teaching give you the edge with quizzing?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Well, I was a geography teacher. I sometimes avoid the geography
0:01:38 > 0:01:40questions. Well, I used to when I was teaching!
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I would never have put myself in this position when I was actually working!
0:01:44 > 0:01:49What's it like to see this lot in the flesh, having watched the programme so many times?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- It's pretty awesome, really. - Nerve-racking!- We're in awe!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Well, I am anyway!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Don't worry cos they can fall apart suddenly,
0:01:57 > 0:02:02without warning! Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over
0:02:06 > 0:02:10to the next show. So, Four Plus One, the Eggheads have won the last three
0:02:10 > 0:02:16- games, which means £4,000 says you can't beat them. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of music.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Who would like this?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25THEY CONFER
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- OK, I'll go music.- I- will.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Paul, OK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Against which Egghead?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40This is the tricky bit.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Gary? Chris?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- OK.- I've no idea.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Chris, please. - That's a very long conversation
0:02:48 > 0:02:52you had! Paul from Four Plus One against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Take your positions, please.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Paul, it's three multiple-choice questions.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- You can choose the first or the second set. Which is it to be? - I'll go first, please.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Paul, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now was a UK number one hit single in 1987 for which band?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now? Um...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I'm a big Bon Jovi fan and know most of their songs.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I know it's not one of theirs.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Europe did another song that I really like, The Final Countdown.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I think they were former Eurovision winners or were in Eurovision.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33I think this particular song was done by Starship.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Bang on! Well done, Paul. First point to you.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Chris, here we are again with music.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Yeah, total rap!
0:03:42 > 0:03:44We'll see if rap comes up.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49The American singer Tammy Wynette was known as the First Lady of what?
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Tammy Wynette, she was the First Lady of Country Music.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Indeed she was. Well done, Chris! One apiece. Now to you, Paul.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07Which singer co-wrote Kylie Minogue's UK number one hit single
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Can't Get You Out Of My Head with Rob Davis?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I don't think it was Betty Boo.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I've got a feeling that Cathy Dennis
0:04:20 > 0:04:23did go on to sort of become a songwriter,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25so I'm going to go with Cathy Dennis.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Is that your answer?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31It's the right answer, well done!
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Pressure on, Chris. Chris, Autobahn is the title
0:04:36 > 0:04:39of a 1970s album by which band?
0:04:42 > 0:04:48Well, um, Autobahn is a German motorway, and Kraftwerk
0:04:48 > 0:04:52is a German power station, so, logically, it should be Kraftwerk.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Yes, Chris, it is Kraftwerk!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Well done. Their most famous album, I guess.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02So, Paul, back to you. Get this right to keep the pressure on.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08Sketches Of Spain is a celebrated album by which jazz musician?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I have to be honest and say if there's one type of music
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I absolutely loathe and detest, it's jazz! So,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I'm a bit out in the open here. Um, I'll really
0:05:23 > 0:05:26going to have to make a complete guess on this.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30I will go for Chet Baker.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34OK, it was a complete guess. It's wrong, I'm afraid. It's Miles Davis.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Chris, if you take this, you take the round.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Here's your third question.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45Vince Neil, John Corabi, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx
0:05:45 > 0:05:48have all been members of which heavy metal band?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
0:05:56 > 0:06:03Um, not really my thing, heavy metal, unless we're talking Meat Loaf.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07But I don't think they were in WASP.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13And I have never heard of Hanoi Rocks, so I'll go with Motley Crue.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I don't know how you do it, but you're right!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18You've never heard Motley Crue?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It doesn't matter. Chris, you've won the round. Sorry, Paul.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23You were just a point behind him, beaten by our Eggheads,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26so as a result you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32OK, as it stands, the Challengers have lost
0:06:32 > 0:06:35one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Our next subject is science.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Who from the Challengers wants to play in this round?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Science.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- You don't fancy science?- I certainly don't. I know nothing about science, no.- Definitely not!
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- You're pretty good on science. - You were brilliant on science.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- I never thought of myself as a scientist!- Well, but...- OK, I'll do it, then!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- John, it's you against which Egghead?- Is Judith into science?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Are you suggesting Judith? - I suggest Judith, yeah.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05We'll say Judith, please.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09OK, so it's Judith from the Eggheads, John from Four Plus One.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14And to make sure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18I'm going to ask each of you three questions on science in turn.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- John, do you want the first set or the second set?- I'll take the second set.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26So, Judith, spinnerets are important
0:07:26 > 0:07:29organs in the bodies of which creatures?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Well, spiders spin, don't they?
0:07:35 > 0:07:40I mean, this is the first question in the round, it must be an easy one.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43So, I think it must be spiders.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46You think spiders have spinnerets?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Well, they spin webs, don't they? - You're right as well - well done!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54John, by what name is the waste matter
0:07:54 > 0:07:57from the smelting of metallic ores known?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I'm sure that snuff goes up your nose.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10I've no idea what stub is, apart from putting out a cigarette.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Slag...yes, I'm sure the answer is slag.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- I'm going to go for slag. - As in slag heap.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Yes, you're right! Well done.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19One apiece. Back to Judith.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Emphysema is a condition that directly
0:08:22 > 0:08:24affects which of the body's systems?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34It's definitely respiratory. I remember thinking
0:08:34 > 0:08:35I've got to give up smoking,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37because my lungs were getting so bad
0:08:37 > 0:08:41and I was terrified of getting emphysema. So, it's respiratory.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It is respiratory, you're right. Well done!
0:08:43 > 0:08:47John, back to you. The autochrome process, patented
0:08:47 > 0:08:52in 1904, was the first practical process for producing what?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Autochrome? Could you spell that, please?
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Yes, A-U-T-O-C-H-R-O-M-E.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'll go for mirrors. It's probably not right, but I'll go for mirrors.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I'm afraid it's wrong.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15It's colour photographs.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19So, Judith is in the lead. Now, if you take this, Judith, you've got
0:09:19 > 0:09:23the round. You've knocked another Challenger out from Four Plus One.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26What is found at the front end of the item of surgical equipment
0:09:26 > 0:09:29known as a laparoscope?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Well, anything "scope" is, is...
0:09:40 > 0:09:42..to do with looking, isn't it?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Microscopes, telescopes, et cetera.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Which would make me think that it...
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Wait.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Not necessarily light, actually.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I may regret it, but I think it might be a drill.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- OK.- Yeah.- Is that your answer?- Yes. - Because the laparoscope goes in,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- looks around and then starts cutting?- Yeah.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10It's a light, Judith.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Blast! That's what I thought was going to be.- I know you thought that!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Bother! But then I thought of endoscope
0:10:16 > 0:10:21and other scopes, which have other tools attached to them.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- It's all that smoking, isn't it? - Probably!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26What, dulled the brain, you mean?
0:10:26 > 0:10:31So, John you have a chance now to draw level and here's your question.
0:10:31 > 0:10:37Virga is the name meteorologists give to precipitation that does what
0:10:37 > 0:10:39before it reaches the ground?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Well...
0:10:46 > 0:10:50I shall go for evaporates.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55And your answer is right.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Well done!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00So, three questions each. You're level.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05We move now to sudden death and to make it that bit harder, these questions are not multiple choice.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Judith first. Which Soviet artificial satellite
0:11:08 > 0:11:12takes its name from the Russian for fellow traveller?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Um, all satellites have gone out of my head.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I mean, quite literally!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I can't think of any of them!
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Um, I'm trying to think of the first one, because I think
0:11:25 > 0:11:28that's what it might be.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Sputnik.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Perhaps it's Sputnik.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- So, is that your answer? - I feel I'm sitting in the back here talking complete nonsense!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- What's your answer? - I am going to say Sputnik.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44The Eggheads are delighted here!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Are they?- Yeah.- Hooray!- Because you got it right. Well done, well done!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50So, John, get this wrong and I'm afraid
0:11:50 > 0:11:52you won't join us in the final. Here we go.
0:11:52 > 0:11:59The bee Xylocopa, which nests in tunnels excavated from solid wood,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01is known by what common name?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Bee?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Xylocopa.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Well, it's not the bumblebee because that has
0:12:10 > 0:12:14a Latin name Bombus terris, or something like that.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16It nests in solid wood?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Is there something called the burrowing bee?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23- Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27OK, it is wrong. Do any of your team-mates know, by any chance?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It's something to do with wood.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Something to do with wood, yeah. - The carpenter bee?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35The carpenter bee is the correct answer.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Sort of a clue in the question, but still a hard one. John, I'm sorry.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42You won't be in the final. You have been beaten by Judith on science.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Judith, you will be. Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Well, as it stands, the Challengers have lost
0:12:48 > 0:12:52two brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54The next subject is film and television,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- so which Challenger wants film and TV?- Gary.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- I'll go for that. - Gary.- Gary. Against...?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- Not Judith, not Chris.- I think we'll go for CJ.- No, not CJ.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Not CJ?- No, he knows everything about television.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Does he?- Yeah.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- He's loving that!- I think the rest of them probably do as well!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Who are we going for?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Daphne?- Shall we go for Daphne?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Yeah, Daphne. Come and join me.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Oh, well!- You sure?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Yeah.- Gary from Four Plus One against Daphne from the Eggheads!
0:13:29 > 0:13:33To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39- OK, three questions, multiple choice. You can choose the first or second set.- I'll go first.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Gary, who was the host of the TV game show Supermarket Sweep?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53That was certainly not Paul Ross.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Not Tom O'Connor. I am pretty certain that was Dale Winton.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00It was, the great Dale! Well done!
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Daphne, what is the name of
0:14:05 > 0:14:11the super-villain played by Thomas Haden Church in Spider-Man 3?
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Well, I don't think it's Bananaman.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27I think He-Man is something else, so, fingers crossed, it must be Sandman?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Is right! One each.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Over to you, Gary. Who provided
0:14:33 > 0:14:37the voice of Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy?
0:14:44 > 0:14:49That was the velvety-voiced James Earl Jones.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Not a moment's hesitation!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Well done, well done!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57OK, Daphne. Who is the regular female judge
0:14:57 > 0:15:00on the TV series Britain's Got Talent?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12I think that's Amanda Holden.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I remember her crying.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18So, yeah, Amanda Holden.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21The person who was crying is most likely to have been the judge.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24You're right! Well done!
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Two each. Playing well here.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31Over to you, Gary. The alien Klaatu and his mighty robot Gort are the
0:15:31 > 0:15:36two main characters of which science fiction film released in 1951?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44It wasn't Them,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48because that was about giant ants, and it wasn't Forbidden Planet.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54It was most certainly, definitely The Day The Earth Stood Still.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Brilliant work. Absolutely right!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Daphne, get this wrong and you're out!
0:15:59 > 0:16:02In which country was the actor told Donald Sutherland born?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I don't know.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I am going to guess that he is Canadian?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21- So, your answer is Canada, is it? - Yeah. I don't know. I'm really sorry.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- No, you're right, well done! - Oh! Right!
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Three out of three for you both.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So, tight round!
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Two great players here, and with the scores level, we go to sudden death.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35The questions are not multiple choice now.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Are you ready, Gary?- Yep.
0:16:37 > 0:16:43In Buster Keaton's classic 1927 silent comedy The General,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46what is the General?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49A locomotive.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Yes, I can accept that.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53A steam locomotive, well done.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Daphne, over to you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58In 1978, Philip French
0:16:58 > 0:17:02became the main film reviewer on which national newspaper?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I don't know.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Absolutely no idea.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15If you get this wrong, you're gone. You're not in the final round.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I think I'm well gone!
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Um...- And it's been very close.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I don't know why...the Daily Mirror.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I know it's wrong.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30I suppose you're on the right side of the political fence, but it's the wrong paper.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- It's the Observer.- Oh, right.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Philip French, 1978.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Well done, Gary! Well done.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You did really well there.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45It was a very tight round. You took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49So, Gary, you will play in the final round and, Daphne, you won't.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Please, both of you, come back to us.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55As it stands, the Challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57whilst the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- The last subject, geography. Who wants this?- I'll take that one.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03John will take that!
0:18:03 > 0:18:08- John, such conviction!- I'll make a fool of myself!- Your former subject as a teacher.- Absolutely.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- So, who do you want to pick? CJ or Kevin?- Kevin.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I'll commit hari-kari and have a go at Kevin!
0:18:16 > 0:18:18OK, well, that is dangerous play.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22John from Four Plus One against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So, three questions on geography in turn.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- John, do you want the first or second set?- I'll go first.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38The town of Grangemouth, perhaps best known for its major oil refinery,
0:18:38 > 0:18:39is in which part of the UK?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Yes, I'm quite confident with this. A good friend of mine actually lives
0:18:48 > 0:18:51just outside Grangemouth. It's in Scotland.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56You are confident and you're right! Well done. ..Over to you, Kevin.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Which sea in the Atlantic Ocean takes its name
0:19:01 > 0:19:05from the proliferation of a type of gulf weed on its surface?
0:19:10 > 0:19:15The other two both are separate seas, whereas the Sargasso
0:19:15 > 0:19:18forms part of the Atlantic. So, Sargasso.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Sargasso is the right answer, Kevin, well done.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23John,
0:19:23 > 0:19:29the Alpine federal province of Corinthia forms part of which country?
0:19:34 > 0:19:40Right, um, my first thought when it came on was Switzerland.
0:19:40 > 0:19:46I'm not absolutely sure, though. Austria does ring a bell.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I don't think it's Italy at all.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I'll stick with Switzerland. I'll go with Switzerland.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's the wrong answer, I'm afraid.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57It's in Austria. Does anyone know, is it in the south of Austria?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Yeah, southern Austria.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Bad luck there, John. ..Back to you, Kevin.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Which city is home to the famed
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Massachusetts Institute Of Technology?
0:20:11 > 0:20:18Um, I think MIT is not all that far
0:20:18 > 0:20:22from Harvard. Springfield is over in western Massachusetts -
0:20:22 > 0:20:23I don't think it's that.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28Lowell is closer in towards Boston.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30But the educational hub there,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33where Harvard and other institutions are based, is Cambridge.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36So, I don't know it for sure, but I'll go for Cambridge.
0:20:36 > 0:20:42I love your logic. Spot on, as well! Cambridge, Massachusetts.
0:20:42 > 0:20:48So, to stay in the contest, John, here is your third question.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Cat Island and Rum Cay form part of which island group?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01How was the first one spelled?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Cat is spelt C-A-T.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05And Rum Cay is R-U-M and then C-A-Y.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Um, I've not heard of either of them, um.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Rum Cay...
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Cay, spelled C-A-Y, gives me perhaps the clue
0:21:15 > 0:21:19that it might be in the Cayman Islands,
0:21:19 > 0:21:24which could of, course, be leading me down an incorrect alley.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26I'll go with the Cayman Islands.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31Yes, it was an incorrect alley, because it was the Bahamas, John.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Bad luck there. ..Kevin, you take the round, because John can't come
0:21:35 > 0:21:39back from that position. So, Kevin, that means you join us in the final.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45John, I'm sorry, you don't. Do both come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47So, this is what we've been playing towards. It's time for our final
0:21:47 > 0:21:51round, which, as always, is general knowledge, but I'm afraid those
0:21:51 > 0:21:56of you who lost your head-to-heads won't join us in this round. So, that is John G,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Paul and John M from Four Plus One, and then Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Please leave the studio.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05So, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07You are playing to win, Four Plus One,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10£4,000 with your colleagues looking on here.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Judith, Kevin, CJ and Chris, you're playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23the questions are all general knowledge and you can, of course, confer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26So, Four Plus One, the question is,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Peter and Gary, do you want to go first or second?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33We'll go first, please.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36First question for Four Plus One.
0:22:36 > 0:22:42If you were ordered to splice the mainbrace, on what type of vehicle
0:22:42 > 0:22:43would you traditionally be?
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Sailing ship.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Yeah, well, the mainbrace is a... - Main spar.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Yeah.- Yeah.- So, we are definitely going to say a sailing ship.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Are you sure it's not tank? - No, no, no.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00One never knows!
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Well done, first point to you.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Eggheads, in JK Rowling's Harry Potter books,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10what do the Seekers attempt to catch in the game of Quidditch?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17A Golden Snitch.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21The Quaffle is the ball. The Golden Snitch
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- is the tiny little thing.- Yeah.- The Quaffle is the normal Quidditch ball
0:23:25 > 0:23:28and the Golden Snitch is little thing with the wings,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- because Harry Potter is the first Seeker in the first book.- Right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35We think the Quaffle is actually the ball in Quidditch, but the Seekers,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38of which Harry Potter was in the very first book,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41go after the little Golden Snitch.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- And you know that because you...? - Because we're sad, lonely people!
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Sad, lonely people. ..Chris, you... That's passed you by?
0:23:48 > 0:23:49It has rather, yeah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51The answer is correct.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54It is Golden Snitch. Well done.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Second question to you.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00Ron Pickering was best known for commentating on TV on which sport?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Athletics. Athletics.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- It's definitely not football. - Definitely not,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- neither is it snooker.- No.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15So, that just leaves the athletics.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Athletics is correct. Well done, two points to you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Eggheads, which is the only country in
0:24:23 > 0:24:28continental Europe to share the same international time zone as the UK?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Portugal.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Portugal.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Portugal. - Portugal is your answer.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40It's correct. Daphne's nodding back there!
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Two each.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Now, you've really have to get this
0:24:44 > 0:24:48right because then, if you don't, they suddenly run away with it, OK?
0:24:48 > 0:24:54Poisson distribution is an important element specifically in which field?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Could you repeat the question, please, Jeremy?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Yes. Poisson - P-O-I-S-S-O-N - distribution
0:25:06 > 0:25:12is an important element specifically in which field?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Well, poisson is fish.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Do you think it might be statistical analysis?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Yes, right.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- I can't help, because I haven't a clue.- Do you play chess?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28No, but I've not heard that
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- in the context of chess.- And you're not a cardiac surgeon, are you?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- No, and I've not received it yet either!- Neither have I!
0:25:35 > 0:25:37So...
0:25:37 > 0:25:40We don't really know, Jeremy, but we're going to have
0:25:40 > 0:25:45what we hope is an educated guess at statistical analysis.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Spot on. Well done!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Three out of three.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Great play. So, Eggheads, here we go with your third question.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55You get this wrong and they've taken the money
0:25:55 > 0:25:58and you are humiliated again!
0:25:58 > 0:26:01No, that is too strong! Here is your question.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Which creature features on the flag of Kazakhstan?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Which creature features on the flag of Kazakhstan?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- It's an eagle with outspread wings.- A double eagle?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- And stars underneath?- No, no. It's an eagle
0:26:20 > 0:26:25with outspread wings and the symbol of the sun.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27We think that's the eagle, Jeremy.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Eagle is the correct answer, well done. Three apiece.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34You're playing well against these Eggheads. Keep it going.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36So, it now goes to sudden death.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41To make it that bit harder, as you know, it's not multiple choice.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Good luck, guys.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Which dystopian novel, published
0:26:45 > 0:26:51in 1953, opens with the line, "It was a pleasure to burn"?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Uh, dystopian novel...- 1953...?
0:26:58 > 0:27:001953.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02It's not 1984.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07The only other one I can think of is Brave New World by Huxley.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13- OK, I'll go with that.- This is a pure guess - um, Brave New World?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16That's the wrong answer. ..Do you know the answer, Eggheads?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Fahrenheit 451.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Fahrenheit 451.- For goodness sake!
0:27:21 > 0:27:26- The temperature at which books catch fire, by Ray Bradbury.- Yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Eggheads, if you get this right, you have taken the contest.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30A very tight contest, too.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34If an object is described as ophidian,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36watch creature is it said to resemble?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Could you spell that, Jeremy?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41O-P-H-I-D-I-A-N.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Yes, a snake.- I will just read that one more time.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49If an object is described as ophidian, what creature is it said to resemble?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52We think that's a snake, Jeremy.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55- From which word?- Ophidian!
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Yeah.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00That means snake. Snake-like.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04You've got it right. Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13John and Peter, what about that? You played great.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- Really well.- Very close. - It's been great to have you. Commiserations to you.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. They reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:29which means that the money rolls over to the next show. ..Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Who will beat you?
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Join us next time to see if the new Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38£5,000 says they don't.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Until then, goodbye.
