0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 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 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33They have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38And taking on our quiz champions today are the Water Babies.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Yes, a young team. They grew up in Dorset, and despite going to
0:00:42 > 0:00:45different universities across the country, they return to Dorset
0:00:45 > 0:00:51in the holidays, because they can't be away from the sea. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Will. I'm 20 and I'm a French and Italian student.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Ed. I'm 18 and I'm a waiter and a musician.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Alex. I'm 20 and I'm a politics and philosophy student.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Mike. I'm 20 and I'm a maths and physics student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Charlie. I'm 20 years old and I'm a sociology student.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Water Babies, welcome.- Hi. - And I'm guessing the sea,
0:01:11 > 0:01:17- so it's surfing and posing on the beach and all that?- Yeah, surfing. Charlie is a big surfer.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Ed and I, we like our wake-boarding. Out on the boats and so on in Christchurch Bay.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Is it good there?- It's great. Yes. Very old-people community,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27but there's a bit of life left in it, a bit of fun.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29And you're all mates.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Ed and I are brothers. And the four of us, myself, Ed, Charlie and Mike, are friends from school.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38We met at the age of two and Alex has been drafted in as a friend from university.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Good luck. They're jealous because they're not young and you are. So you already have the advantage.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Youth is the Lord of life.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00So, Water Babies, the Eggheads have won the last 14 games which means,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- have a guess...- £15,000.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06£15,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09The first head-to-head battle is on sport.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Oh.- Who wants to take that on? - Charlie, danger man.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Getting involved early on. - Who shall I go up against?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18So, Charlie?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I'll try Barry. I'll try the new boy, Barry.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25OK, Charlie from the Water Babies against Barry, our newest Egghead.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Three multiple choice questions.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- Charlie, you can choose the first or second set.- I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Charlie, in May 2008, which tennis player announced
0:02:44 > 0:02:48her shock retirement from professional tennis with immediate effect?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59OK, I'm going to immediately rule out Serena Williams.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It was between Justine Henin and Amelie Mauresmo,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05but I'm going to go with Justine Henin.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- It was Justine Henin, well done. - Good start.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Your question, Barry.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Which Premiership football team did Emmanuel Adebayor join in 2006?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24It certainly wasn't West Ham United.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I'm reasonably certain it wasn't Chelsea, so I will go for Arsenal.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33And, Judith, you would have known that, wouldn't you?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- They are one of your favourite teams.- I thought it was Chelsea.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh, you on sport is one of the great joys in life. No, it's not Chelsea.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It was Arsenal. Barry, you're right.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Charlie, your question. Which former international cricketer is known by the nickname Dazzler?
0:03:57 > 0:04:02OK, um...I'm pretty sure it's Darren Gough. I don't know why
0:04:02 > 0:04:05but I'm pretty sure I've heard Dazzler as a nickname for him.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10And I'm hoping that it's not Shane Warne or Sachin Tendulkar either.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Your answer?- Darren Gough.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Is correct.- Good lad.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Barry, over to you.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23In Europe, what colour ski slopes are the easiest?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Well, I know that black are the hardest, so I can discount that.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35I've not heard of green ski slopes so that leaves me with just red.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- So my answer is red. - DAPHNE: Oh-oh.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43That gasp, or sound of a death rattle from Daphne
0:04:43 > 0:04:45will give you the clue that you are wrong.
0:04:45 > 0:04:51It was green. So, Charlie, you've got the edge now.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Take this one and you knock Barry out and you're in the final.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Which country won the men's ice hockey gold medal at seven
0:04:58 > 0:05:03of the nine Winter Olympics held between 1956 and '88?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I'm not an ice hockey fan,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14but before the options came up I was thinking Canada,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17because I'm pretty sure they're pretty useful at ice hockey.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So, through no other way, I'm going to go with Canada.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24OK. And out of interest, I know you're only 20,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27but what do the words USSR mean to you?
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- I'm thinking Russia.- Right, the old Soviet Republics. Yes.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Because that was the right answer, not Canada. Sorry about that.
0:05:38 > 0:05:45Barry, British sportswoman, Georgina Harland won a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics in which event?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Oh, dear. I should know all the British medal winners,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58because, sadly, we don't have as many of them as we should do.
0:05:58 > 0:06:04I can't seem to recall any sports women winning in shooting.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I don't think we won in the modern pentathlon. So I will say judo.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13You're not in the final, Barry. It's modern pentathlon.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Well done, Charlie.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- Charlie, well done.- Thank you. - You will be playing in the final. You've knocked out an Egghead,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23which is a great start for our Water Babies.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Congratulations, Charlie. Please, both of you, come back to the studio.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32The challengers have lost no brains from the final round while the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Our next subject, guys, film and television.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Who is the person for this?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43THEY CHAT I think it's got to be Mike.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Mike.- Who are you going to take on? - Judith.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Try and knock her out of the running early doors.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- We'll go with Mikey taking on Judith. - OK, Mike from The Water Babies
0:06:54 > 0:06:58and Judith from the Eggheads, please take your positions in the question room.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Three questions for each of you on film and television
0:07:01 > 0:07:07- and, Mike, you can choose the first or the second set.- I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Mike, in 1986, Pam St Clement
0:07:12 > 0:07:15joined the cast of EastEnders as which character?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I'm pretty sure it's not Peggy. I don't watch the show that much.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Ooh, I'm going to have to guess and I think I'll go with Pauline.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31That's a first instinct. That's what I'm going to try.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37- OK, Pauline it is. Any EastEnders fans among your fellow students?- No.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Is it not big with students now?- No.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44So a tough question for you there, Mike. And it's Pat, I'm afraid.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Judith.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Who was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his leading role
0:07:50 > 0:07:53in the 1982 film Tootsie?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well, it's definitely not John Hurt.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's Dustin Hoffman, isn't it?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I didn't ever see it, but I think it's Dustin Hoffman.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Yes, it was Dustin Hoffman.- Phew.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Over to you, Mike. Which Peter Weir film,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18based on a Joan Lindsay novel, describes the mysterious disappearance
0:08:18 > 0:08:22of three schoolgirls and their teacher from a school outing?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Er. Well, I have no idea, so...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39This is a tough one.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'm going to go with The Innocents.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Picnic At Hanging Rock is the answer.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Probably came out before you were born, I would think. Early '80s?
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Mid-'70s.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54So when you were about minus 15.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Judith, your question now,
0:08:57 > 0:09:02and if you get this one right, you will have taken the round
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- and you will be in the final.- Gosh.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Which weather presenter is famous for leaping around a large floating map of the UK
0:09:09 > 0:09:14when the TV programme This Morning was broadcast from the Albert Docks in Liverpool?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21I can see him doing it and I can't remember which one it was.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I don't think it was a girl.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I don't know who Fred Talbot is, so let's try him.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31You're right. Fred Talbot it was, jumping around
0:09:31 > 0:09:33a large floating map of the UK.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35So, Judith, you'll be joining us in the final.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41Mike, you won't, I'm afraid. You've been beaten by an Egghead so you won't be able to join your team
0:09:41 > 0:09:44in the final. Both of you, please, come back to the studio.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52The Eggheads have also lost one brain.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55The next subject is science. Have you got
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- scientific students here? - Yes, Mikey,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00who just bombed out on film and TV.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Unfortunately.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Shall I go?- Yeah.
0:10:04 > 0:10:10- It's not my specialist subject, but I'll step up.- What are you studying?- French and Italian, a BA.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- There were French and Italian scientists...- And hopefully I'll have heard of some of them.- So, Will,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18who do you want to take on? Kevin, CJ or Daphne?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I'll go for CJ, I think.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Great, so it's Will from the Water Babies against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- Multiple choice questions. Will, would you like the first or second set?- First, please.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Here we go.
0:10:40 > 0:10:46Thermodynamics is the study of the relation between various forms of energy and what?
0:10:50 > 0:10:56I'm thinking thermo, heat from thermometer and other things.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58But I'm not 100% sure.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It's not my category really.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04So, just because I can't see it being particularly either of the other two
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I'm going to go with heat, please.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09And heat is right. Well done.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12You're on the way.
0:11:12 > 0:11:19CJ, what natural phenomenon occurs when sunlight refracts through raindrops?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Refraction of light splits it up, so that would be a rainbow.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Quite right. One apiece.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Back to you, Will. What colour
0:11:31 > 0:11:34is the halogen bromine,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38the only non-metallic element that is a liquid at room temperature?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I'm trying to think. For some reason,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I was thinking a murky green before you said it.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I don't know if there is any logic
0:11:51 > 0:11:55or whether it's just old science experiments I'm harking back to.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00That's just my gut instinct and I believed that is the way I should go,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02so I'll plump for dark green, please.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07Which is wrong. It's dark red. Sorry, Will.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14CJ, which bird can be identified by its piercing "teacher, teacher" song?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Very little idea on this one.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Something, possibly unwisely, is drawing me to chaffinch
0:12:32 > 0:12:34and I've no idea why, but that's the one I'll go for.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Maybe the same something that drew Will to dark green.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I've changed my mind.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42No, you've got chaffinch and it's wrong.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45It's great tit, CJ.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48OK, Will, your question.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53He's given you a look-in here. Get this right and you put the pressure on CJ.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The British scientists Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe
0:12:56 > 0:13:01carried out the first successful practice of which medical procedure?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Again, I'm a little bit flummoxed by it, even though I've got a shot
0:13:11 > 0:13:13at redemption, thanks to CJ. Um...
0:13:13 > 0:13:19I'm thinking maybe IVF because it's something that
0:13:19 > 0:13:22has come to the fore quite recently.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I'm not sure when the first MRI scan was around.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28So, just because it's straight down the middle,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I'm going to go for IVF, please.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Spot on. Well done.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Well played! All right, here's your question, CJ.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40If you get this wrong, you're not in the final.
0:13:40 > 0:13:47What name is given to the reflex which causes individuals in crowded rooms to amplify their voices,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50setting off a cacophonic chain reaction?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Never heard of this. I mean, I can understand what it is referring to,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01but I've never heard of it.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It's going to be an absolute blind guess
0:14:06 > 0:14:10because I've never heard of this. It's the Lombard reflex.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16Your blind guess is quite right. It is the Lombard reflex.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18So, we go to sudden death.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21This time it's not multiple choice.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's that bit harder. Here we go, Will.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Hold on tight.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Which inert gas is known to make the human voice squeaky if inhaled?
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Well, I've been relying on the answers being in front of me so far
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and I've been plumping for one of those.
0:14:39 > 0:14:47But this time, I hope I wouldn't need the answer in front of me because I'm 90% sure it's helium.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50And you are 100% correct. It is helium.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58It says on my card, "Do not try this at home!"
0:14:58 > 0:15:01CJ... If you get this wrong, CJ, you're not in the final.
0:15:01 > 0:15:08Which species of segmented worm is believed to take its name from the old English word meaning physician?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I don't know the worm, but I'm trying to think
0:15:13 > 0:15:16what the old English word for a physician is.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I think this is goodbye to me,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25because I can't think of anything.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Doctor...
0:15:30 > 0:15:34I'm afraid I'm going to have to fall on my sword because I can't think of anything. Earthworm.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Earthworm is your answer?- Yeah. - The answer is leech.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Popular for bloodletting
0:15:40 > 0:15:43in the Middle Ages.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47And, well done. Water Babies, you've let a bit of blood from the Eggheads.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49CJ will not be in the final.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Will, you will.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Do come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57So, as it stands, the challengers have lost
0:15:57 > 0:16:01one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Our last subject is music.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Which of you wants music?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It can be old or new.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Is it Alex?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Yes, I think I'll take on music and I'll take on Kevin. The big man.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Let's get rid of him while we still can.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- You've got to try and take him down. - We'll try.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22It has been tried before. It is quite difficult.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Alex from the Water Babies against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30And to ensure there is no conferring, please, do go to the question rooms.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Three multiple choice questions.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Alex, would you like the first or second set?
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Can I go first, please?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42"My life is brilliant, my love is pure,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45"I saw an angel, of that I'm sure,"
0:16:45 > 0:16:49is a line from a 2005 UK number-one hit single by which artist?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'm pretty sure it's not Craig David
0:16:58 > 0:17:01because I'm not sure he's had a hit number one for quite a while.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04He's got quite an annoying voice, so he always stays with you.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06So James Blunt, please.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Very good. It was James Blunt.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15You increased your street cred by not knowing that. All right, Kevin.
0:17:15 > 0:17:21Which character sings the song Some Day My Prince Will Come in a Disney animated film?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Ah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I think we'll dismiss the Little Mermaid,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35but it could be either of the others, couldn't it?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39It's a well-known song.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44I'm going to say Snow White. I'm not going to hang about. Snow White.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Everyone is relieved on your side, it is Snow White. Well done.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49OK, a question for you, Alex.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Which heavy metal band
0:17:51 > 0:17:55had a UK number-one album called Back In Black?
0:18:00 > 0:18:06Um, I don't think Deep Purple have released anything
0:18:06 > 0:18:08for a while,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10so I'm discounting Deep Purple.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I think AC/DC have a song called Back In Black, so...
0:18:13 > 0:18:16can I go for AC/DC, please?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18You can and you're right. Well done.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Kevin. Which female vocalist, dubbed "the girl with a laugh in her voice,"
0:18:26 > 0:18:30had UK top-ten hit singles with Dream Boat
0:18:30 > 0:18:32and Never Do A Tango With An Eskimo?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I believe that was Alma Cogan.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It was indeed, you're right. Two points each.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46If you get this right, Alex, you put him under pressure.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Get it wrong and goodness knows what will happen.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52The jazz pioneer Max Roche
0:18:52 > 0:18:56is best known for his skill on which instrument?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I really don't have much of a clue here.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Um, if I was going to go for a...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11gut instinct, it probably would be the piano.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I don't think it would be the drums.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Yeah, can I plump for the piano in the middle?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I'll go for piano, please. - It's wrong, though.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- It's drums.- Oh, of course!
0:19:25 > 0:19:30Your question now, Kevin. If you get this right you're in the final. Who released the 1968 album
0:19:30 > 0:19:33known as The Village Green Preservation Society?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I'm not certain, but I think that was...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It wasn't Donovan.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I think it was the Kinks.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Yes, the Kinks.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53The Kinks is the correct answer. You've taken the round.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Bad luck, Alex.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59You were beaten by our Egghead. That means you can't take part in the final round.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Please, both of you, come back here to the studio.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Time for our final round. As always, general knowledge,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:09 > 0:20:11won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14So that's Alex and Mike from the Water Babies
0:20:14 > 0:20:18and Barry and CJ from the Eggheads. Would you please leave the studio?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Will, Ed and Charlie, you're playing to win the Water Babies £15,000.
0:20:23 > 0:20:29Judith, Kevin and Daphne, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35This time the questions are general knowledge.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38You are allowed to confer. So, Water Babies, the question is -
0:20:38 > 0:20:42are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Will, Ed and Charlie, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Stick with before. Go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52So here we go, and good luck.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58£15,000. Which garden plant that can grow three feet a year
0:20:58 > 0:21:03and reach heights of up to 100 is nicknamed "the scourge of suburbia?"
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's been in the news recently.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13When you said that I thought maybe Leylandii.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14I thought ivy and that's not there.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Privet hedge is a little one.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Honeysuckle is some sort of flower.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Use your instinct. That's best.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31It's me. I'm going to go with Leylandii in the middle, please.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Leylandii is correct.- Brilliant!
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Well done, Water Babies.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Next question to the Eggheads.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43In the nursery rhyme Sing A Song Of Sixpence, where is the king?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I've done it. The king is in his counting house
0:21:50 > 0:21:53counting out his money.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56The Queen is in the garden, eating bread and honey.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Isn't it in the parlour? - The parlour, yes.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Who's in the parlour?- The Queen.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03The maid is in the garden, hanging out the clothes,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07along comes a blackbird and pecks off her nose. I've got grandchildren!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Such a disturbing nursery rhyme as well,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12but you're right, counting house is the right answer.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Over to you, Water Babies.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21In 2001, the Post Office spent £2 million changing its name to what?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I thought that straight away.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Again, I don't know why, Aviva. Maybe that's an insurance company?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33But I don't know if it's spelt like that.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37I'm pretty sure it was, down the middle again, it's Consignia.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Centrica sounds ridiculous as well.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Consignia is what came to me as well.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I'm 90% sure it's Consignia.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46We all seem to be in agreement with this one.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Can we go with Consignia, please?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Well done. With great enthusiasm and conviction, you are right.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Consignia is the answer.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Putting the Eggs under pressure.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Here's your question, you three. In heraldry what term is given to an animal, especially a lion,
0:23:04 > 0:23:10with its level hind leg on the ground and its other limbs raised as if to fight?
0:23:17 > 0:23:18It's rampant, isn't it?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Dormant is literally sleeping.
0:23:20 > 0:23:26Guardant, in this instance simply means looking out.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30So you get guardant looking forward and reguardant looking back.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32So it's rampant.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37- Rampant.- Rampant. Ready to fight.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Rampant is correct.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Both teams are rampant here.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44If you get this right,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46you might just get the £15,000.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51If you get it wrong, then your fate is in their hands and we know what can happen.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55About which journalist did Prince Charles allegedly say,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58"I can't bear that man. I mean, he's so awful, he really is,"
0:23:58 > 0:24:02during a photo call with his sons at Klosters in Switzerland?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10I should have done my homework a bit more. This is what I want to go into.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Dan will be sat at home kicking himself with this one.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- I'm clueless in this one. - I recognise Nicholas Witchell.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- That was the one I was drawn to, but I don't really know why.- No.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I was thinking DAVID Dimbleby! James Whittaker...
0:24:29 > 0:24:33We don't really know. You thought Nicholas Witchell as well.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- It could keep us in the game. - Well, probably not.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Um, we're a bit...not as confident on this one.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43A bit more clueless but we're going to go with Nicholas Witchell
0:24:43 > 0:24:45on a tenuous hunch.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Well, Richard Dimbleby is, sadly, long dead,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54so that would have ruled him out.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- But you got it right. It is Nicholas Witchell.- Unbelievable.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I'm trying to work out
0:24:59 > 0:25:02if Nick would be pleased or not that you know it was him.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04He's probably trying forget it.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Eggheads, if you get this question wrong, Water Babies have got £15,000.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13If you get it right, we go to sudden death. Here is your question.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18What is the name of the man who was appointed, in 2006, to the position
0:25:18 > 0:25:21of Chief of Defence Staff
0:25:21 > 0:25:25and principal military adviser to the Secretary of State for Defence?
0:25:31 > 0:25:37- It's Jock Stirrup.- That would be Sir Jock Stirrup.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Is the correct answer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Ohh!
0:25:43 > 0:25:47So...we go to sudden death. This time it's not multiple choice.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's that bit harder.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Here is your question. Who is the only member of the Government
0:25:53 > 0:25:57who is allowed to drink alcohol in the Chamber of the House of Commons?
0:25:57 > 0:26:02I'm trying to think of someone who is a bit different.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05The thing that came to me first is the Chief Whip.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09I don't know why. I'm not even sure what he does, to be honest.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I assume it's... I don't think it would be some kind of Prime Minister privilege.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- What does a member of the Government mean, precisely?- I wish I knew!
0:26:19 > 0:26:22The Speaker doesn't belong to a political party, I don't think.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27It could be something bizarre like the Leader of the Opposition
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- or something.- But why would he be able to?- Could be anybody.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34It's not necessarily something that is practised.
0:26:34 > 0:26:40It could just be something that just exists in historical...
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Um... Shall we go with yours? You pulled it out of the bag.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Is that definitely a position? - We'll find out. I don't know.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50We're going to go...
0:26:50 > 0:26:55punt at the Chief Whip, thinking it might actually be a position.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57The Chief Whip is in the Government
0:26:57 > 0:27:04and, of course, Speaker and Leader of the Opposition are not. But it is not the correct answer.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Well, Eggheads, you said it happened a long time ago.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- It happens every year. - Yes, it's the Chancellor. During the Budget speech,
0:27:11 > 0:27:17the Chancellor often has a glass of whisky. Chancellor of the Exchequer was the answer.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Eggheads, if you get this question right,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22you've snatched the money from the Water Babies
0:27:22 > 0:27:24and you have won the contest.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Eggheads, which group represented the UK at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest
0:27:29 > 0:27:31with the song Flying The Flag For You?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39What were they called? Scooch?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43< Yes, that's something very much...
0:27:47 > 0:27:49We think it's Scooch.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Eggheads, you're right. Congratulations.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54You've won!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Water Babies,
0:28:00 > 0:28:04rarely do we get teams where we all feel we want you to win.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Wonderful students with your sea air and your surf boards.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Commiserations. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Their winning streak continues. I'm afraid you won't be going home with that £15,000,
0:28:16 > 0:28:21so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations. Who will ever beat you?
0:28:21 > 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£16,000 says they don't.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Till then, goodbye.
