0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team
0:00:25 > 0:00:28of five challengers pit their wits against possibly
0:00:28 > 0:00:30the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And taking on our quiz champions today are the New Year Revellers.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43The team all quiz together every Sunday night at the Crown Pub
0:00:43 > 0:00:46in Kirk Levington in Stockton on Tees.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50They also enjoy murder mystery weekends and take their name
0:00:50 > 0:00:54from their regular group New Year holidays. Let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi. I'm Julie, I'm 42 and I'm a paediatric nurse manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi. I'm Rob, I'm 45 years old and I'm a quantity surveyor.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Di, I'm 41 and I'm a research scientist.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hello. I'm Martin, I'm 41 and I'm currently between jobs.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Hi. I'm Angela, I'm 41 and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Welcome. You all know each other very well indeed, I gather?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We do. We've known each other for about 20 years now.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And Julie, you were engaged to Rob, who then married Di?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- I didn't marry Di, Rob married Di. - Yeah, that's right, yeah.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Rob, can you explain?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32THEY LAUGH
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Yes, I suppose so.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Yes, I was with Julie for quite a while,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40for about four years we were engaged and we used to know Di
0:01:40 > 0:01:44with her ex-boyfriend and we used to go out as a foursome
0:01:44 > 0:01:48and then, about a year later, after we decided to call it a day,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I met Di again and we got together
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and we've been married nearly 20 years now.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56You had quite a spontaneous wedding in a registry office,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- so you're looking for a honeymoon now, Di?- We are, yes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03It's lovely how Robert proposed. He took me out on the Friday night
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and said, "Will you marry me?" and I said, "Yes."
0:02:06 > 0:02:08He said, "Tomorrow?" I said, "Yes!"
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- But we didn't have a honeymoon. - So if you win today?- Oh, yes.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13We're doing something really nice.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, a tight-knit team you're playing today. And every day,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for your challengers.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23If they don't defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25So, New Year Revellers,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28the Eggheads have won the last six games,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32which means £7,000 says you can't beat them,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- which would pay for a honeymoon and more!- All for me!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39The first head-to-head battle is on Film & Television.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Which of you wants this?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I fancy this, Di.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- I'll take it.- Said very confidently.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- You've got to pick an Egghead now. - Who shall I have? Kevin?
0:02:52 > 0:02:58- Try the new guy.- We'll try Barry. - Try the new guy! How about that?
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Barry, OK. Barry from the Eggheads and Di from the New Year Revellers,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06please take your positions in the question room now.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09So, Di, three multiple choice questions
0:03:09 > 0:03:11and you can choose first or second set.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17So, here with go.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Jack Black provides the voice for the title character
0:03:20 > 0:03:22in which 2008 animated movie?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I was reading about this coming down today on the train.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33It's actually Kung Fu Panda.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38It is Kung Fu Panda. Well done. Someone told me it's really good.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40OK, Barry.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44TV presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly
0:03:44 > 0:03:47made their acting debuts on which children's TV show?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Something is telling me at the back of my mind that they were...
0:03:56 > 0:03:59they certainly weren't in Press Gang,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02but I believe they were in Byker Grove.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- That's your answer?- It is indeed.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It's correct. Well done. One each.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Back to you, Di.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Which controversial actress was nickname Hanoi Jane?
0:04:18 > 0:04:24That's a tough one. I wouldn't think it was Jane Seymour.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Something's drawing me towards Jane Greer. I'll try Jane Greer.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30No, it's not Jane Greer.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35It's Jane Fonda, because she was against the Vietnam War.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Barry, over to you.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Which character marries Mr Big
0:04:39 > 0:04:43in the 2008 film of the TV series Sex And The City?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51My wife's seen this and I don't think she's stopped laughing yet,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54but unfortunately, I never went to see it with her,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58so I'm not quite sure who it is, so this will be an out-and-out guess.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Eeny, meeny, miny, mo... we'll say Charlotte.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07No, it's not Charlotte.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12It's got to be the Sarah Jessica Parker character - Carrie.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17So, chance for you to pull clear, Di, if you get this right.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Jean Warboys, played by Doreen Mantle,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23was a regular character in which TV sitcom?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Well, I don't think it was the Vicar Of Dibley,
0:05:31 > 0:05:36and it sounds like an old person's name, forgive me,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39but I'll go for One Foot in the Grave, please.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43And I'm pleased to say that Angela is nodding.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46In fact, the whole of your team are, because it's right.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Barry, if you get this wrong,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- you're not in the final round. - Yes, I know!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56What instrument does Marilyn Monroe's character,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58"Sugar" Kane Kowalczyk play
0:05:58 > 0:06:02in the 1959 film, Some Like It Hot?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Oh, gosh! I have seen this film on more than one occasion
0:06:10 > 0:06:12and I still can't remember!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I don't think she played the ukulele.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Is it the double bass or the saxophone?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24I'm drawn to the saxophone for no reason at all,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28other than I can't quite imagine Marilyn Monroe playing a double bass,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31so I shall say saxophone.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Saxophone is wrong.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Ukulele.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36- Daphne?- The ukulele.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39It was her instrument, Barry, it was the ukulele,
0:06:39 > 0:06:40so Di, well done!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42THEY APPLAUD
0:06:44 > 0:06:47You took on one of the Eggheads, you emerged triumphant.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Good news for the Challengers
0:06:49 > 0:06:52because you will play in today's final round. Barry won't!
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Please, both of you, come back and rejoin us here in the studio.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59So far, the Challengers have not lost
0:06:59 > 0:07:01any brains from the final round.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04The Eggheads have lost one brain. Next subject is Sport.
0:07:04 > 0:07:11- Who's the sportsman or sportswoman? - It looks like it's me.- OK, Rob.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14And I'll go against...Chris.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18It's Rob from the New Year Revellers against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20You said "Chris" with conviction!
0:07:20 > 0:07:23He never looks as though he enjoys sports!
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Enjoys sport? I loathe, detest, abominate sport, absolutely!
0:07:27 > 0:07:33Consign it to the remoter regions of sulphurous hell!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- He doesn't like it, either! - Are you sure about that?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Sugar-coated! To ensure there's not conferring,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42please take your positions in the question room.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Good luck. Three questions in turn, multiple choice.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Rob, you can choose the first or second set.- I'll go first, please.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56Here we go. In golf, how many shots under par is a birdie?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Well, two is an eagle, three, I think, is an albatross,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06so I assume it is one, and that's my answer.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- It is one. Well done. - THEY APPLAUD
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Chris, what nationality is the tennis player Lleyton Hewitt?
0:08:19 > 0:08:20He's Australian.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Yes, he is.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Do you like tennis?- God, no!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28The spectacle of two apparently rational beings bashing a ball
0:08:28 > 0:08:32backwards and forwards over a net in accordance with some arcane set of
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- rules is just completely out of my universe!- Don't beat about the bush!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Rob, which world cup-winning flanker who was left with a permanent limp
0:08:44 > 0:08:46after nine operations on his left knee,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50retired from First Class Rugby in 2008?
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Well, Lewis Moody is still playing, as far as I'm aware,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02so it's between Neil Back and Richard Hill.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Richard Hill had some real injury problems
0:09:05 > 0:09:09after the English World Cup victory, so I'll go with Richard Hill.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Yup. You're doing well. It was Richard Hill. Correct answer.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Chris, over to you.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Up to the end of the 2007/2008 season,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24how many different football clubs had won the Premier League?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Well, there's only 16 clubs in the Premier League, aren't there?
0:09:31 > 0:09:36I wouldn't say half of them have won it
0:09:36 > 0:09:39and I think it's more than 4, so I'll go with 6.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Good guess. It's wrong, though! It was 4.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Was it? - Fewer than one might imagine.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Bad luck, Chris.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Rob, if you take this,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52you've got the round and Chris has been knocked out.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Curt Schilling is a famous name in which American sport?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Not my cup of tea, American sport.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07What's his name again, please?
0:10:07 > 0:10:14Curt Schilling - C-U-R-T S-C-H-I-L-L-I-N-G.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Curt Schilling, Curt Schilling...
0:10:16 > 0:10:21I'll take a bit of a stab. I've got a feeling it may be Baseball.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Where do you get that from?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's from the fact that I know very little about baseball
0:10:27 > 0:10:29and I don't really know their names.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I know more about ice hockey and American football
0:10:32 > 0:10:33than I do about Baseball!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Well, it's very smart thinking, because you're right!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39So, three in a row means
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Chris can't come back - Chris, you've lost
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and you won't join the Eggheads in the final round.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Rob, well done.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49You'll join your team in the final round.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Could both of you come back to the studio now?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55So, as it stands, the Challengers have not lost any brains
0:10:55 > 0:10:58from the final round. The Eggheads have lost two brains now.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Which one of you wants this from our New Year Revellers?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- It must be you, Julie!- I think it's gonna have to be me, unfortunately!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Julie, brilliant. Now, you can choose
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- anyone but Barry or Chris. - What do you think?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I'll take Daphne on, please.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So, it's Julie from New Year Revellers
0:11:22 > 0:11:26versus Daphne from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28take your positions in the question room.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books in turn.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Julie, you can choose first or second set.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I'll go first, please.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42The painting or drawing of inanimate objects
0:11:42 > 0:11:46such as fruit, flowers or bottles is known as what?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I don't think it's real life,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57because I think that would be people, wouldn't it?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00The high life? I don't remember the high life!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I'll go for still life.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06I would have been worried if you'd got that wrong! Well done!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Daphne, here we go.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Klara Sessemann and the goatherd, Peter,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14are characters in which children's book?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22That would be Heidi.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Yes, you're right.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Second question to you, then, Julie.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Which American author wrote the political thrillers
0:12:32 > 0:12:38Patriot Games, Clear And Present Danger and The Sum Of All Fears?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I've heard of all three of these authors
0:12:46 > 0:12:48and I've seen the films as well.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I'm gonna go for Tom Clancy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'm not sure, but I'll go for Tom Clancy.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01And you've got it absolutely right. Well done.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Daphne, your second question to keep up.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11What literary term describes two successive lines of poetry,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14usually of equal length and similar metre,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17that complete a Shakespearean sonnet?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27That sounds like a couplet to me.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Couplet is correct.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32No trick in there. Absolutely right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34OK. Good luck with this one, Julie.
0:13:34 > 0:13:41Which piece of art by Damien Hirst was initially refused entry to Japan
0:13:41 > 0:13:45in 2008, due to the country's ban on British beef?
0:13:56 > 0:14:01This is a difficult one. I've obviously heard of Damien Hirst,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04but I haven't heard of these answers.
0:14:07 > 0:14:13I'll take a bit of a guess and I'll go for Mother And Child Divided.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18You and Daphne are uncommonly good at guessing,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21and that's quite right, Mother and Child, Divided.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23THEY APPLAUD
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Are you all right, Daphne?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Yes, thank you. - Here's your question.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Get this wrong, you're out of the final.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34You'll be sitting on the uncomfy chair! Here we go.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Which American satirist wrote the 1973 novel Breakfast Of Champions
0:14:39 > 0:14:41which was later adapted into a film
0:14:41 > 0:14:44starring Bruce Willis and Albert Finney?
0:14:53 > 0:14:58I associate Breakfast Of Champions with Kurt Vonnegut,
0:14:58 > 0:15:02but I wouldn't have described him as a satirist,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05but I'll just go with Kurt Vonnegut.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Yeah, sort of a heavy-duty satirist, I guess he was,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13but you're right, Kurt Vonnegut is the right answer. Well done.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16So, three questions played.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18We go, as you know, to sudden death now,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21and to make it harder, it's not multiple choice. Ready?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Ready.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Don't be worried.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Who wrote the play Present Laughter, first performed in 1942?
0:15:33 > 0:15:38I was hoping this would be about books, not about plays.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I can't think of any playwrights!
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Oscar Wilde is the only one I can think of.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Is that your answer? - Oscar Wilde is my answer.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Someone in the previous game had a stab
0:15:53 > 0:15:56at something similar, and they went for Oscar Wilde!
0:15:56 > 0:15:59At some point, it will be the right answer,
0:15:59 > 0:16:00but it's not now. it's Noel Coward.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08So, Daphne, to take the round, to get yourself a place in the final,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11and knock poor old Julie out.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13What is the first name of Mr Pickwick,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15the founder of the Pickwick Club
0:16:15 > 0:16:19in the Dickens work known as The Pickwick Papers?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Do you know, my mind's gone blank!
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Samuel?- Is correct. - Thank God that came back!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33See what I mean about her guessing? If it was a guess.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Probably knowledge!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Well done, Daphne, you are in the final round now.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Julie, you were beaten by our Egghead so you will not play
0:16:41 > 0:16:46in the final round. Do both of you please come back and rejoin us here.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51The Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Last subject is Politics.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- That's me.- It's got to be you. - Back to me, then.- Angela, OK.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- Against? You've got Kevin and Judith left.- Judith.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Judith.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I'll take on Judith, please.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Angela from the New Year Revellers against Judith
0:17:12 > 0:17:16from the Eggheads and just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:17:16 > 0:17:17please take your positions now.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Angela, multiple choice questions.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- You can choose the first or second set.- I'd like to go first, please.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Good luck. Primary school teacher, right?- That's right.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Which European head of state married Carla Bruni in February 2008?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I'm certain it's Nicholas Sarkozy.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- And you're right. Well done. - THEY APPLAUD
0:17:49 > 0:17:55Judith, which political party came third in the 2005 general elections?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- In which general election?- 2005.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Well, it's got to be the Lib Dems, hasn't it?
0:18:10 > 0:18:15I mean, I'm baffled by this question. It's the Lib Dems.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17You're baffled, but you've answered.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Correctly as well, well done.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Angela, how many children do Tony and Cherie Blair have?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Well, I think when he became Prime Minister, they had three children,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35because I remember that picture when they were outside
0:18:35 > 0:18:3910 Downing Street, and then they had a baby, which I think,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41was that the first Prime Minister to have a baby
0:18:41 > 0:18:45whilst being Prime Minister? So it must be four.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- And four is right, yeah. - THEY APPLAUD
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Do you know the baby's name, on this side?- Leo?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Leo was number four. OK, Judith.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Which political strategist, who played a leading role in securing
0:18:58 > 0:19:06George W Bush's presidency, resigned as Deputy Chief of Staff in 2007?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I think that was Karl Rove.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17You're quite right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Don't ask me why!- It was Karl Rove.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Don't ask me any others about him!
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Nicknamed "Two Brains", I think! - Oh, really?- Or maybe three...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27So, this one for you, Angela.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Get this right, you will put her under pressure.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37"History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it,"
0:19:37 > 0:19:40is a quote attributed to which British prime minister?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49That's a bit of a tricky one.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I don't think it was Margaret Thatcher.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55She had lots of very famous quotes, but I don't think it was her.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03I think it was Winston Churchill, so that's going to be my answer.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06And you're quite right. It was Winston Churchill.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08THEY APPLAUD
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Very good play, Angela,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13because you've put Judith under pressure here,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16and Judith, if you get this wrong, you are not in the final round.
0:20:16 > 0:20:23Yousaf Raza Gillani became Prime Minister of which country in 2008?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Prime Minister?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Who has just had an election?
0:20:35 > 0:20:40I don't know anything about the politicians in Bangladesh.
0:20:40 > 0:20:47I think Pakistan has had an election, because wasn't that Benazir Bhutto
0:20:47 > 0:20:51was assassinated, and then they had to put it off?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I think it's Pakistan.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Pakistan, you say? You're right.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Well done, Judith.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Three out of three. Well, done both of you.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05So we move to sudden death.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Angela, your question.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Which Tory MP resigned from his post as Heritage Minister
0:21:11 > 0:21:14after his involvement in a 1992 scandal?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Oh, I'll have to think about that one. 1992...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I don't think it was, but I'll say Ken Clarke.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- He'll appreciate that! - THEY LAUGH
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- It wasn't Ken Clarke. It was David Mellor.- Oh, yes!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Onwards with Judith.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Here's your question, Judith.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48The Battle of Orgreave was a pivotal confrontation
0:21:48 > 0:21:52in which long-running political dispute?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Orgreave? How do you spell that?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57O-R-G-R-E-A-V-E.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02I think it's probably the Miners' Strike in Mrs Thatcher's time.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05You're right, it was the Miners' Strike.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07So that means, Judith,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- that you're through to the final round!- Yippee!
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Angela, I'm sorry.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17- Oh, well.- You got one wrong after a very steady and assured run,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20but it wasn't quite enough. You were beaten by our Egghead.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Do please both of you come back to the studio.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25This is what we've been playing for.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Time for our final round, General Knowledge,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:30 > 0:22:33won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36That's Julie and Angela from the New Year Revellers
0:22:36 > 0:22:40and Chris and Barry from the Eggheads. Please leave the studio.
0:22:41 > 0:22:47Rob, Di and Martin, you're playing to win the New Year Revellers £7,000.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Daphne, Judith and Kevin, you're playing
0:22:49 > 0:22:52for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59This time, the questions are all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00New Year Revellers, the question is,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:03 > 0:23:08Rob, Di and Martin, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10First, please.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Here we go, and good luck.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18In Mythology, the Griffin had the head and wings of an eagle,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20and the body of what?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25It's a lion.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- It's definitely not a horse, is it? - I'm sure it's a lion.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- I thought lion before it came up. - I thought it was the lion.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Yeah, stick to lion?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I think, I'm sure it's lion.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39We'll go with lion, please.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Lion is the correct answer. - Thank you.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Eggheads, which member of the Royal Family
0:23:46 > 0:23:50provoked outrage in 1995 when he asked a Scottish driving instructor
0:23:50 > 0:23:56how he kept the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- It's got to be Prince Philip. - Yeah, it's got to be.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I mean, Prince Edward and Prince Charles don't...
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Prince Edward doesn't say memorable things.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Prince Charles doesn't say...
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I can vaguely remember the remark, but not who made it,
0:24:17 > 0:24:18but logically...
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Yes. I think it's Prince Philip, because he's notorious for...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Shall we go for it?- Yeah.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Purely on the basis that it's the sort of remark
0:24:27 > 0:24:30that would be associated with Prince Philip,
0:24:30 > 0:24:31we'll go for Prince Philip.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Yeah, and poor old Prince Philip is the right answer.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38True to type, some would say!
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Second question.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Which American city is nicknamed Sin City?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52What do you think? I don't think it's New York.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- I think it could be Los Angeles. - I'd go with that. And you?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- I'll agree with you two. - Las Vegas is more gambling.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03We're not 100% sure, and we're fairly convinced it's not New York,
0:25:03 > 0:25:08but we think we're gonna go with Los Angeles.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Los Angeles is your answer?- It is.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12But it's wrong! It's Las Vegas. Bad luck.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Second question to the Eggheads, to seize the advantage.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Who was listed as the richest Briton in the British Isles
0:25:22 > 0:25:25in the 2008 Sunday Times Rich List?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34As opposed to somebody domiciled here? I think...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I think Westminster still.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42I think The Duke of Westminster has been for a number of years,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46he's been at about number three, but he may have fallen down the...
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I thought Philip Green had gone off to Monte Carlo, anyhow!
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I think it's the Duke of Westminster but I don't know for sure.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54No, I'm not sure, either.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- It always used to be, yes. - Well, we think of
0:25:57 > 0:26:02the Duke of Westminster as being there in that sort of position
0:26:02 > 0:26:07for some time. We don't know if he was there on the latest list,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10but we'll go for the Duke of Westminster.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- Because he's local?- Yes, and he hasn't gone off to Monte Carlo,
0:26:14 > 0:26:19which I think Philip Green is domiciled or resident in Monaco.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Either way, you're right. It was the Duke of Westminster. Well done.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27So, this is your third question,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31and you need to get this right, or the Eggheads have taken the contest.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Which mountaineer wrote Touching The Void,
0:26:34 > 0:26:38which described a near-fatal attempt to climb Siula Grande
0:26:38 > 0:26:40in the Peruvian Andes in 1985?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Over to you two.- It definitely wasn't Chris Bonington.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I didn't think it was Chris Bonington, no.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58I'm not sure about Doug Scott. I'll go for Joe Simpson, but...
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- I've no idea.- I'm not sure, but that would be my answer.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Joe Simpson, yeah?- Joe Simpson.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Well, we don't think it's Chris Bonington
0:27:09 > 0:27:11and we're not too sure about the other two,
0:27:11 > 0:27:18but an educated guess, we're thinking it's possibly Joe Simpson.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Is correct.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23You're still alive. Well done.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25So, Eggheads, two points,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Challengers, two, but Eggheads, you can win with this.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Benbecula belongs to which island group?
0:27:37 > 0:27:42Benbecula is where Bonnie Prince Charlie crossed over from Skye.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Outer Hebrides, yeah.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's the Outer Hebrides, Jeremy.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53If this is right, the £7,000 is snatched away
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- from the other team.- Sorry! - And think about that honeymoon
0:27:56 > 0:28:00that she's been waiting for, for 20 years!
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Outer Hebrides is correct.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Commiserations, Challengers.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15As you've said, I've got no honeymoon!
0:28:15 > 0:28:17You played well. Has it been fun?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20It's been good, good fun, enjoyable.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Eggheads did what comes naturally, their winning streak continues.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29You're not going home with £7,000. That rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if the new challengers
0:28:34 > 0:28:38have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £8,000 says they don't.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Until then, goodbye.
