0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz
0:00:13 > 0:00:15team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They've won some of the country's
0:00:32 > 0:00:36toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:40are The Cube Rooters from Dundee.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43They're current or former colleagues of team captain Dawn.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46They take their name from the fact that four of them
0:00:46 > 0:00:49are maths teachers. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Dawn. I'm 32 and I'm a maths teacher.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Ian. I'm 29 and I'm a maths teacher.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Eddie. I'm 34 and I'm a maths teacher.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Derek. I'm 49 and a facilities coordinator.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07- Hi there, I'm Richard. I'm 28 and I'm also a maths teacher. - So, Cube Rooters, welcome.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- And which one isn't a maths teacher, first of all?- Derek.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12What do you do, Derek?
0:01:12 > 0:01:17I'm in charge of the facilities of the school, maintenance work, repairs and things like that.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20You're all connected through the school or through maths?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24We're actually now at different schools but we have worked together at different times.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29What do we need to know about maths that we don't know? Cos it is one of those very special subjects.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- The circumference of a circle? - Do you know what it is?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Um, is it piD?- It is.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And you quiz together?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39We have done, yes.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Derek runs a little quiz at
0:01:41 > 0:01:45the school, so some of us have been involved in that. Others have been
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- in pub quizzes and things as well. - Well, good luck to you.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Every day there is £1,000
0:01:50 > 0:01:53worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers. However, if they fail
0:01:53 > 0:01:57to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01So, Cube Rooters, the Eggheads have won the last eight games,
0:02:01 > 0:02:06which means that £9,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- You like this, don't you? - Well, we've got
0:02:12 > 0:02:13three that are quite happy.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- We'll have to battle that one out. - OK, you're spoilt for choice.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Choose one of you and then one Egghead to play against.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21You're going with me,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23are you? You're going with me?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Ian? Yeah?- OK. - We're going to have Ian and...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Who do you want to play against?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I don't know. Judith or Barry?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Go for Barry.- Barry. - We'll go for Barry.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37We'll see how we go. Ian from The Cube Rooters against Barry,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39our new Egghead. To ensure there's
0:02:39 > 0:02:43no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Ian, we had a look at Barry on the way to him becoming
0:02:45 > 0:02:50an Egghead. He played Science twice and, Barry, you won twice.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Oh, that's good to know.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Had you forgotten that? - I had indeed.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57You'd lost count.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You're playing a maths teacher, so let's see.
0:02:59 > 0:03:06Does maths extend beyond maths for you? Are you a scientist in outlook?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I watch a lot of these documentaries on all
0:03:08 > 0:03:10these holidays that I get, so...
0:03:10 > 0:03:12But not necessarily in the classroom.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15You can be a maths teacher who just knows maths, or a maths
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- teacher who knows about everything? - I know everything, yes!
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Hopefully!- We've never had anybody say that before!
0:03:22 > 0:03:23It's going to backfire!
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Let's not even worry about playing, that's it! You've already won!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30OK, I'm going to ask each of you three multiple-choice questions in
0:03:30 > 0:03:35turn, and Ian, as you know, you get to choose the first or second set.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Er, first please.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Ian, what colour will an object appear if it reflects
0:03:43 > 0:03:45all colours of the spectrum?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Right, well, it would be
0:03:51 > 0:03:56a bit strange if all the colours disappeared and became white.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01I don't really know the answer, but it's not going to be white.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I can't see it being black...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07..because there are light colours in there.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10So, it's an educated guess of going for grey.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14So dangerous, the educated guess.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- It is actually white. So, Ian, you know everything except that.- Yep!
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Barry, your question. The budgerigar is native to which continent?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30They're found in the wild in Australia, and
0:04:30 > 0:04:33they're normally green in the wild, unlike the colours
0:04:33 > 0:04:35that they have in this country.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Spot on. First point to you.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Ian, your question. For what does the letter A stand
0:04:41 > 0:04:45in the name of the respiratory illness known as SARS?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I don't think it's Allergen.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So I'm going to cross that one off the list.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02From watching the news, I'm tending to go with Acute because
0:05:02 > 0:05:07I think that's what I heard many newsreaders saying. Just from that.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11So, I'm going to go with Acute.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12And you're right.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Well done.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Stands for?- Severe Acute...
0:05:17 > 0:05:20..Respiratory Syndrome.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24OK, Barry, your question. What is the name of the nearest major spiral
0:05:24 > 0:05:26galaxy to the Earth's?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34The nearest galaxies to the Earth, although they're not spiral,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38are the Magellanic Clouds, a kind of nebula.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43But the nearest spiral galaxy to the Earth is Andromeda.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Well played, you're absolutely right. Two points, Barry.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Which means Ian has to get this right or he's taken the round.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54There will be no way back if you get this wrong.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Meles meles is the Latin name for which British mammal?
0:06:03 > 0:06:08OK, I don't know this one, so it's really gonna...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11And I can't think of any way of eliminating any of the options.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'm going to go with...
0:06:19 > 0:06:22..otters, simply because it stands out because...
0:06:23 > 0:06:27..it is in the water and the other two aren't.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- Because it's in the water?- Yes. - OK, I'm afraid it's wrong.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Barry, do you know?- It's a badger.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39An otter is a lutra lutra.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Barry's good at Science, everyone!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45We've discovered this! There's no doubt about it!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Ian, I'm sorry, you were beaten. Commiserations.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49You won't be playing in the final round.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Barry will. Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Ian, that was rough.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Any thoughts?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- I wish I didn't say that I knew everything.- That was good, that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- We liked that.- That's going to backfire badly at school!
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Bad luck. But there's plenty of time for your team.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:12 > 0:07:17the Eggheads have lost no brains. Next subject is Sport. Ah, you were
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- the sportsperson, Ian?- Yes, that was one of my better subjects.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- It's got to be somebody else. - I don't think we've got any debate about this?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26We've got Derek, for sure.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Derek for sure?- And, Derek, who?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Who would you like?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I'm gonna take Judith.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Judith.- Oh, I'm thrilled(!)
0:07:38 > 0:07:42OK, Derek from The Cube Rooters is going to take Judith from the
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Eggheads. To ensure there's
0:07:44 > 0:07:47no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51OK, Derek, I'm going to ask each of you three questions,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53multiple-choice questions.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- You can choose the first or second set.- I'll go first.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Which snooker player won his third world title in May 2008?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Well, it wasn't Peter Ebdon.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I think I know this one, I think it's Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18And you're right. Well done, Derek.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Judith.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Which flamboyant British racing driver was nicknamed The Shunt?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Oh, I know.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28James Hunt...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30The Shunt!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33..Jackie Stewart or Nigel Mansell?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's James Hunt, The Shunt.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Shunt The Hunt.- Shunt The Hunt.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40OK, you're right.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42How did you get that?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I don't know. It's one of the few facts that's stuck in my head.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- We waited a long time for that fact to come around!- Yes!
0:08:48 > 0:08:53- And finally, we've got it. - It'll never come back!- No!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56One point each. Derek, over to you.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02Former All Black captain Tama Umaga allegedly struck team-mate Chris Masoe
0:09:02 > 0:09:06over the head with which item in the Jolly Poacher Tavern
0:09:06 > 0:09:09on the 27th May 2006?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15This isn't the kind of sporting question I was looking for.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20I can't imagine a rugby player having a handbag.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I'll rule that out.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I'm gonna say umbrella.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28It was a handbag, actually!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30He did it with a handbag.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Anyone know the reason?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Eggheads?- No.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36There wasn't an umbrella handy?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Yeah, that's it!
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Judith, Peter Osgood
0:09:42 > 0:09:49made 380 appearances and scored 150 goals for which football club?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Hopeless asking me questions like that.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Peter Osgood. Well, Rangers is a Scottish team, isn't it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:11So I think it's Chelsea or Leeds, and I'm going to say Leeds.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15And it's Rangers?!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18No, as a Chelsea fan, I'm quietly devastated. It is Chelsea.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Oh, dear, I'm sorry.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Don't worry, don't worry. We'll recover from that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Over to you, Derek.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31Which Australian swimmer won the gold in the 1500m freestyle at both
0:10:31 > 0:10:36the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I'm kind of between two here.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I'm gonna go for Grant Hackett.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's the right answer, Grant Hackett.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Judith, if you get this wrong... - I know.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Go on, tell me. What's going to happen?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- I won't be in the final round.- OK.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Don't want to hurt your feelings.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11Which sport was banned in China by Chairman Mao?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I don't know why, I'm thinking tennis because, until
0:11:21 > 0:11:23lately, there've been very few
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Chinese tennis players.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31So, I mean, I have absolutely no idea, but that is the logic.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- So, I'm going to say tennis. - He actually banned boxing.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Sorry, Judith, you're wrong. - Oh, well.- It wasn't tennis.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- It was a try. - So, Cube Rooters, that's good.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well done, Derek. You took on
0:11:44 > 0:11:47an Egghead, you emerged triumphant. That's great news for
0:11:47 > 0:11:50the challengers, because Derek can play in the final.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58So, as it stands, the challengers and the Eggheads have lost one brain each
0:11:58 > 0:12:00from that final round.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Next subject is Geography.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07So, do mathematicians do Geography? That's the next question.
0:12:07 > 0:12:14- Ian apparently does, but decided he wanted to do Science!- Oh, dear! - It can't be Ian or Derek.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- That means I'm gonna have to do Geography.- Yeah?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- OK, Richard? Which Egghead? - I think it's going to have to be CJ.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Yes, CJ.- OK, so, Richard from The Cube Rooters against CJ from
0:12:25 > 0:12:28the Eggheads on Geography.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Why don't we take our positions in the Question Room?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35All right, guys, here we go.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Three questions, multiple choice.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39First or second set for you? Which would you like?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'd like to go first, please.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Kingston is the capital of which Caribbean island?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Now...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57When I was at the airport yesterday, I saw a flight going to Kingston,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01and I thought to myself, "I wonder what country that's in."
0:13:03 > 0:13:04I wish I'd found out!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I think it's in Jamaica.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Yes, I'm going to go for Jamaica. - You happy with that answer, team?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Yes.- Maths team here. Yeah, well done, you're right.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Jamaica it is.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23CJ, the South Downs stretch across
0:13:23 > 0:13:27East and West Sussex and which other county?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Well, not Dorset, cos it's far too far away.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I hate this. I really do hate these questions.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I just don't know British geography.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Um, I'm gonna go for Hampshire.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Hampshire's right. Well done.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49OK, Richard.
0:13:49 > 0:13:55The Hagia Sophia is a prominent landmark of which capital city?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I have absolutely no idea about this.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10I don't think it might be Istanbul.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I don't know why I think that.
0:14:13 > 0:14:19So as a guess I'm going to
0:14:19 > 0:14:21have to say Belgrade, cos I don't know.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25It's a prominent landmark in Istanbul. You got that wrong.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Your question, CJ.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34The Chateau Marmont Hotel is located in which US city?
0:14:37 > 0:14:42I'm just thinking... I think it's there, but let me just think.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46No, it's not in New York.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50I don't think it's... I think it's in Chicago.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55Chicago's your answer? It's wrong. It's Los Angeles. LA.
0:14:55 > 0:15:02Richard, over to you. The Yenisei river flows through which country?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I'll spell it for you. Y-E-N-I-S-E-Y.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I have never even heard of it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Um, it doesn't sound very Russian.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22But that doesn't mean it's not.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I'm going to go for China.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31China is wrong. It's Russia.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Your question, CJ. If you take this, you've got
0:15:36 > 0:15:39the round and you're in the final.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41If not, we go to sudden death.
0:15:41 > 0:15:47What term is given to the process in which rock particles knock together,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50becoming more rounded and reduced in size?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Well, not lateral erosion.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I've not heard of acculturation.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I'm just going to go for the obvious one, I'm going to go for attrition.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11And you're right. It is attrition.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13You've taken the round.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Through attrition, CJ's triumphed.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18He'll be in the final. Richard, you won't.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23As it stands, the challengers
0:16:23 > 0:16:26have lost two brains from the final round. Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Last subject is Music, so which challenger wants this?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- It's got to be Eddie or Dawn. - I would rather do the last round
0:16:34 > 0:16:38than the Music round, but I'm open to suggestion.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Well, I don't mind. I'll do the...
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- You'll do Music?- OK, we'll go with Dawn.- Yeah, I'm going to go for it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47OK, Dawn, and who do you want? It's Daphne or Kevin.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51I think it's... Yeah, I want Daphne!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55All right, Dawn against Daphne, please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Dawn, you get to choose whether you take the first or second set of questions.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02I'd like to go first, please.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Here's your first question.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Which band released the albums Beggars Banquet
0:17:10 > 0:17:12and Exile On Main St?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Oh, before I came in here, the first thing I said was, "I hope
0:17:19 > 0:17:24"I don't get asked album titles," cos that's what I'm terrible at.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Pure guess, but I'm gonna go for The Rolling Stones.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It's a good guess, you're right. Well done.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Now, Daphne, your question. Confide In Me
0:17:35 > 0:17:39and Spinning Around were UK hit singles for which singer?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Oh!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52You can tell I don't know!
0:17:54 > 0:18:00Out of the three I think I'll go for Kylie Minogue.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03It's that amazing guessing of yours again, you're right.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Well done, Daphne.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09OK, Dawn, what is the name of the preacher's son
0:18:09 > 0:18:14in the Dusty Springfield song Son Of A Preacher Man?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Oh, now, I know this song.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I'm trying to go through it in my head.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Feel free to sing it if it helps!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I would clear the studio if I did that.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Don't worry!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I seem to think Johnny-James.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40I'm crossing out Frankie-Lee for definite, I think.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42But then that's never a good thing to say.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45I'm gonna go with Johnny-James, please.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48It's really a tricky one, this.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Great song, but the name is buried in there somewhere,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53and it's not Johnny-James, it's Billy-Ray.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54- Oh.- Sorry, Dawn.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Your question, Daphne. What is the term for a melody
0:18:58 > 0:19:01played in conjunction with another,
0:19:01 > 0:19:05a technique used in the Irving Berlin song You're Just in Love?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Um...
0:19:16 > 0:19:19It's awful! I ought to know this.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Um...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Right, here goes.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Descant?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29No, descant is wrong, it's counterpoint.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Oh, I was thinking about that one, yeah.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Oh, dear!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Ooh, dear! So, Dawn, your chance to take the initiative.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Good luck with question three.
0:19:38 > 0:19:44Who composed the opera Lady Macbeth Of The Mtsensk District?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Oh, well. Opera's certainly not anything...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Not one of my strong subjects.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I absolutely know nothing about it at all, so it's going to have to be
0:19:57 > 0:19:59a total guess.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07And I'm going to go for Stravinsky, purely because there's two start
0:20:07 > 0:20:11with S and two end with "sky", and that's got
0:20:11 > 0:20:13both, so I'm going for Stravinsky.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Great logic. Do you know, Daphne?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Shostakovich.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20It is Shostakovich.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Sorry, Dawn, Shostakovich is correct. So, Daphne, with this
0:20:25 > 0:20:28answer, you can take your place in the final round.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Or else I sit on the naughty bench!
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Well... Maybe!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36We will have sudden death if you get this wrong.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Which bebop artist
0:20:38 > 0:20:43is credited with writing the jazz standard Salt Peanuts?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52It would help if I knew which one of them wrote...
0:20:52 > 0:20:57I don't think it's John Coltrane, so, um...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Wrote, who wrote...?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Oh, dear.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Charlie Parker.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Is the wrong answer. It's Dizzy Gillespie.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10So you're equal after three questions,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12which means we go to sudden death.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Dawn, that means it's that bit harder because it's not multiple choice.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Here's your first sudden-death question. During World War II,
0:21:20 > 0:21:25which English singer, born in East Ham in 1917,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27was known as the Forces' Sweetheart?
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Oh... I can see her.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Can you ask her to hold up a sign with her name on?
0:21:35 > 0:21:36That would be...
0:21:36 > 0:21:40I'm asking her, but she's too busy singing at the moment.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45No, sorry.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Is that a pass?
0:21:49 > 0:21:50It's a pass.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Vera Lynn.- Oh!
0:21:53 > 0:21:57So, this to take the round, Daphne. The composer Eric Spear
0:21:57 > 0:22:01is perhaps best known for writing the theme tune
0:22:01 > 0:22:02for which long-running TV show?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06At last, I know it!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Coronation Street.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Yes, well done. That's right.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14And he got, apparently, £6 for doing it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Ah, bless.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Rather more is at stake today. Challengers,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21you've taken a knock. Dawn won't be in the final.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Daphne, you will. Please come back to the studio.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27This is what we've been playing towards, it's time for our final
0:22:27 > 0:22:31round, which, as always, is General Knowledge. I'm afraid those of you
0:22:31 > 0:22:35who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41So, that's Dawn, Ian and Richard from The Cube Rooters and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Please leave the studio.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46So here we are, final round.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Derek, interesting, all the maths teachers who went up
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- got knocked out, the facilities co-ordinator stays in.- Yeah, well!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Words of wisdom, that's what it is!
0:22:55 > 0:22:58So, you're playing to win The Cube Rooters £9,000.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Barry, Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're
0:23:01 > 0:23:04playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10All General Knowledge.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11You are allowed to confer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14So, Cube Rooters, the question is,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Eddie and Derek, first or second set?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- First?- We'll go first. - We'll go first.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Your question. What area in London shares its name
0:23:29 > 0:23:34with a slim, ankle-high boot with an elastic panel on the side?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Chelsea, is it? - Never heard of the other two,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- but I've heard of a Chelsea boot. - Definitely.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- And it's an area in London.- Yeah.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I think we've come to a decision, and we're going for Chelsea.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Correct. Second time that Chelsea
0:23:53 > 0:23:56has been the answer to a question.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Your question, Eggheads. What is the first name of the woman
0:24:00 > 0:24:05that the royal Peter Phillips married in May 2008?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Autumn Kelly, isn't it?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Think her name's Autumn Kelly, so it's Autumn.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Correct answer, well done. Autumn is right.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Your second question, Cube Rooters.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Tell Sid was an advertising campaign
0:24:25 > 0:24:28during the 1980s for the privatisation of which company?
0:24:38 > 0:24:44My first thought was that as well, was British Telecom.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- It's not British Rail.- No.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51So it's either British Gas or British Telecom. My immediate
0:24:51 > 0:24:55thought was British Telecom, but then when I've seen British Gas...
0:24:55 > 0:24:56We should go with our first answer.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01- First thought, yup.- Mine was British Telecom.- Mine as well, mine as well.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03We're split between two.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05My first instinct and Derek's,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08before the choices came up,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10was British Telecom.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Then British Gas came up and kind of threw a spanner in the works.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18So we've decided to go with our
0:25:18 > 0:25:22original instinct and go with British Telecom.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26I'm sorry you've done that. It was British Gas.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Which came a bit later than the
0:25:28 > 0:25:33- telecom privatisation, is that right?- British Telecom was Busby.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- Oh, so it was.- Telecom was '84 and Gas was '86, for what that's worth.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42The very annoying series with Sid was Gas.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Your question, Eggheads. Which former newsreader famously flung a glass of
0:25:47 > 0:25:51wine over her former boss Jonathan Aitken?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Anna Ford?- We all agree.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59That was Anna Ford.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02She'll be chuffed you remember that! You're right.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So, Eggheads, have two points.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Challengers, you have one.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10You must get this right or you lose the chance of the £9,000.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Good luck. Here we go, your third question. Lalo Schifrin
0:26:17 > 0:26:23composed the score for which 1960s film starring Steve McQueen?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I don't know Steve McQueen films.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I really...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Bullitt was after the '60s.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Bullitt was in the '70s or '80s.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43The Great Escape was certainly in the '60s.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48The Magnificent Seven... probably '60s, if anything.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52So it's between The Great Escape and The Magnificent Seven.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55It's really got to be down to you, this one.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Was that '60s, now?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I'm gonna doubt myself now it was the '60s.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Had to be the '60s.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12OK, I'm gonna go for it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I'm gonna go for The Magnificent Seven.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18OK. Unfortunately it was down to one of the challengers, because I really
0:27:18 > 0:27:19didn't have a clue.
0:27:19 > 0:27:25So we're thinking on Derek's lines, which is The Magnificent Seven.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27But we're really not sure.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34OK. It's always painful when the correct answer is ruled out early...
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Oh, was it Bullitt? - ..and you discuss the other two.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Eggheads, you know the answer?- Bullitt.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Which was 19... What?- '68.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43So it was the '60s.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45The other two were Elmer Bernstein.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52You got it wrong, I'm afraid, and that means there's no way back
0:27:52 > 0:27:54for our wonderful challengers.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Eggheads, congratulations, you've won.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Commiserations, challengers. Something about movies, if they're good,
0:28:04 > 0:28:09- they're there forever, you can't necessarily put a date to them. - No.- Bad luck.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17I'm afraid you won't be going home with that £9,000,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Eggheads, congratulations to you. Who will beat you?
0:28:22 > 0:28:27Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30£10,000 says they don't.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Till then, goodbye.
