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?
0:00:24 > 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 > 0:00:36They are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today...
0:00:43 > 0:00:47The team are all friends from the Brighton and Hove petanque club.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Hello, I'm David.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I'm 66. I'm a part-time tutor.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Jay. I'm 65 and retired.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Janice. I'm 68 and I'm a retired chef.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm John. I'm 53 and I'm a carpenter joiner.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm Justin, I'm 34 and I play professional football.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09So, Bouleheads, petanque?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Boules and petanque - the same thing?
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Yes, boules is the generic name, petanque is the specific game.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- And what do you do in this game? - Ah, it was invented in France.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23It's a French game, but it's now played worldwide and you play with
0:01:23 > 0:01:28metal boules and the classic game is three people with two boules each
0:01:28 > 0:01:32and the idea is to get the boule as close to the jack as possible.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- A bit like crown green bowling? - It's in the family of bowls.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38And you all play together, do you?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Yeah, we all play together, with and against each other.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Are you very good? - Some of us are better
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- and some of us are not so good. - Good luck!- Thank you very much.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56however if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the money rolls over.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00So, Brighton Bouleheads, the Eggheads have won the last 15 games,
0:02:00 > 0:02:05which means £16,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09The first head-to-head battle will be on Film & Television.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Who wants this and against which Egghead?
0:02:12 > 0:02:13I'll take that.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Who will we go against?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Justin, I think, is going to take it. - Against?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Chris...?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I think it might have been...
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Chris.- Chris? Yeah, we'll go against Chris, if possible.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30So, Justin from Brighton Bouleheads against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33To ensure no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Good luck. Three multiple choice questions
0:02:36 > 0:02:38on Film & Television in turn.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Justin, you choose first or second set.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42I'll go first set, please.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Justin, Ian Hislop and Paul Merton are team captains
0:02:48 > 0:02:50on which comedy TV show?
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Have I Got News For You.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Is the right answer, well done.
0:02:59 > 0:03:05Chris, in which 1991 action film does FBI special agent Johnny Utah,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08played by Keanu Reeves, go undercover to catch
0:03:08 > 0:03:10a gang of bank robbing surfers?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Well, it's not The Matrix.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22And Speed is that thing with the exploding bus, isn't it,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24with Sandra Bullock?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26So, it's got to be Point Break.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Yes, it was Point Break.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Your question, Justin.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Who played Short Round in
0:03:32 > 0:03:38Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, and Data in The Goonies?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48It's Jonathan Ke Quan.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Oh, you suddenly sprang on that!
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Yeah, I just remember him from
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, the second one.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Correct answer, brilliant! Great stuff!
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Which former EastEnders actress, Chris, took on the role
0:04:01 > 0:04:04of Inspector Jenny Black in Holby Blue in 2007?
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Hmm. I've never watched either EastEnders or Holby Blue.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I'll go straight down the middle, Michelle Ryan.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Wrong answer. It was on the left, Kacey Ainsworth.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Justin, if you get this right, you've knocked Chris out.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35The song A Very Precious Love features in which 1958 film starring
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Gene Kelly and Natalie Wood?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46You probably didn't see that when it was released!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Nah, nah, definitely not!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I think I'm gonna go for Splendour In The Grass.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57A bit of a guess.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Think he's right, Bouleheads?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Yes, I think it's a possibility.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04You think so?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07He's wrong, actually. It's Marjorie Morningstar.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11So, Chris, you have a chance now
0:05:11 > 0:05:14to pull level, but if you get this wrong, you're gone.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Who is the writer of the TV series Love Soup
0:05:18 > 0:05:21which starred Tamsin Greig as Alice?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Well, Russell T Davies has got his hands full
0:05:30 > 0:05:31with Doctor Who these days.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Kay Mellor writes, sort of, gritty stuff.
0:05:38 > 0:05:45So, I would say David Renwick, who's got form as a comedy writer.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Good process of elimination.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49David Renwick is right.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Three questions each, it's level on the scores.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53We go to sudden death. Justin, to make it
0:05:53 > 0:05:58that bit harder, these questions are not multiple choice. Here we go.
0:05:58 > 0:06:04Mrs McCluskey, as played by Gwyneth Powell, was a character in which TV
0:06:04 > 0:06:07series between 1981 and 1991?
0:06:07 > 0:06:08I was there for that one!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It's Grange Hill.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Grange Hill is right!
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Chris, which 1994 film set in Edinburgh
0:06:17 > 0:06:20starred Christopher Ecclestone, Kerry Fox and Ewan McGregor,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24with Keith Allen as the mysterious Hugo?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Edinburgh, 94.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Trainspotting.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Chris, the answer was Shallow Grave.- Oh!
0:06:38 > 0:06:42And that means that the challengers have taken that round!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Brilliant! Well done, Justin.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47You'll help your team in the final and Chris, you won't.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Please, both of you come back to the studio.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55The challengers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58The Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Next subject is History.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Which of you wants this?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Who's our historian bouler?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Who's one for history?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Have we got a first for history? - We haven't got a first.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- We have no good historians. - No historian?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Yeah, so I'll do it, Jeremy.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- So, David taking it, OK?- Yeah.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Erm, who do you say?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Daphne, as you're probably going to lose anyway.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23No, I don't think so. No, CJ, I think.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26OK. I'm trying to follow the reasoning.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Take Daphne cos you're going to lose anyway!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Well, history is her strongest subject!
0:07:31 > 0:07:34It's the double petanque back strategy. Very complicated.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Too difficult to explain now!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39That might come up in a question. David,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42from Brighton Bouleheads against Daphne?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- No, against CJ. - Against CJ from the Eggheads! OK.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50So to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I'm going to ask each of you three questions on History in turn.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56David, you choose first or second set.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57First please, Jeremy.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04David, from which part of the world did the Vikings originate?
0:08:11 > 0:08:12The Vikings?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Although the name has got a Chinese ring to it...
0:08:21 > 0:08:24..I think they probably came from Scandinavia.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Scandinavia, Jeremy.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Scandinavia is the correct answer, David, well done.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's good to get the first one right. CJ, on to you.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36The period known as the Dark Ages formed an early part
0:08:36 > 0:08:38of which historical era?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45That would be the Middle Ages.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49That's right. Why was it called the Dark Ages, anybody?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52It was at the end of the Roman Empire and before
0:08:52 > 0:08:54the beginning of the Renaissance.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I see, so it was a period where it wasn't very bright?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59When all culture was eliminated.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I mean, wiped out, supposedly, but actually it wasn't.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- But all Roman culture got eliminated.- A loss
0:09:06 > 0:09:09of classical learning between then and the Renaissance.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Thank you.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13David, on to you.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18The area that is now the Democratic Republic of Congo was a colony
0:09:18 > 0:09:22of which European nation from 1908 to 1960?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Belgium.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Very good, it was Belgium.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- And before being the DRC, what was it called?- It was called Zaire.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Absolutely.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40With the famous leader, whose name escapes me, who was very corrupt.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Mobutu.- Mobutu, that's right.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45CJ, your question. Which Berlin prison was demolished
0:09:45 > 0:09:49in 1987 after the death of its last prisoner, Rudolf Hess?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56That was Spandau prison.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Spandau is quite right.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02This is a very professional round both of you are playing.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Two out of two for you both. Here we go, David.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Lexington and Concord were the first battles of which war?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Lexington and Concord?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Yeah.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Obviously, it was American.
0:10:26 > 0:10:32I think, I'm not certain, it was the American War of Independence.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35You got it right, well done.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40OK, CJ, by what name is the World War II
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Siege Of Leningrad also known?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I haven't heard this.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I'm trying to remember how long it lasted. Erm...
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Well, that would help! - That would be beneficial.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I thought it was less than a year.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08I mean, 900 days is, what, two and a half years? That's too long.
0:11:08 > 0:11:1290 weeks is about 16 months.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I'm not at all sure about this one, but I'm going to
0:11:14 > 0:11:17go for the 9-month Siege.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19It was 900 days, CJ.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22It was longer than you thought.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24So, nearly three years.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Which means that you're not in the final and, David, you are!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31So, your team can now go crazy!
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Look at that!
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Well done! You've knocked out an Egghead and we'll see you later on
0:11:36 > 0:11:41for the final round. Do both of you come back and rejoin your teammates.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48and the Eggheads have lost two brains. It's going well.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Next subject is Sport.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Do you have a sport person on the team?
0:11:54 > 0:11:59- Oh, he's gone!- He's gone already! - Only three of you available here.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Jay, Janice or John? - Go for it.- Who's it going to be?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- I think they're going to sacrifice me!- OK, Janice.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I know nothing about sport!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It could be a positive sacrifice!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11We're halfway there cos now, Janice,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14you've got to tell us who you want to play against
0:12:14 > 0:12:16and it's going to be Kevin, Judith or Daphne.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It's going to be Judith.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22It's Janice from the Brighton Bouleheads against Judith
0:12:22 > 0:12:25from the Eggheads. So, it's all the Js!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Please take your positions in the question room.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Janice, it's multiple choice, three questions and you can
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- choose the first or second set. - I'd like to go first, please.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Janice, who became the most experienced driver in Formula One
0:12:41 > 0:12:48history when he started his 257th Grand Prix in 2008?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57This will have to be a pure guess.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I'll go for Felipe Massa.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05It's not Mr Massa, it's Barrichello.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Over to you, Judith.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11In Olympic boxing, what piece of protective gear
0:13:11 > 0:13:15must competitors wear that their professional counterparts do not?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Well, I think they all wear gumshields and they all wear gloves.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28They aren't allowed to do gloveless boxing, so it must be a headguard.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Absolutely right! It is a headguard.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Back to you, Janice.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37How many countries have won the cricket World Cup?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44The cricket World Cup...
0:13:44 > 0:13:47As the Eggheads always seem to go straight down the middle,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I'll go for five.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Good tactic, you're right!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Who are they, Eggheads?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Who are the five? - West Indies, India, Australia,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Pakistan and Sri Lanka are the five different countries who have done it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Over to you, Judith. On sport, which South African golfer,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09who won nine majors during his career,
0:14:09 > 0:14:14is officially listed as the world's most travelled athlete?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23You're talking about him as if he's retired, so I think
0:14:23 > 0:14:25that would rule out Ernie Els.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31I think it might be Gary Player.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Gary Player is correct. Well done, Judith.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35A storming run from you, Judith,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39in this round! So, Janice, you need to get this question right
0:14:39 > 0:14:41or Judith takes the round.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45And the question is, which French rugby union player
0:14:45 > 0:14:51has the nicknames Sea Bass, The Caveman and The Anaesthetist?
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Well, I was hoping that it would be sea bass in French was his surname,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08but it's not.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13So, I'll go for Serge Betsen.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- Oh, I so want this to be right. Serge Betsen is your answer?- Yes.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21It's Sebastien Chabal.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23So, bad luck, Janice.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25You were put forward as
0:15:25 > 0:15:28the official burnt offering for that round by your very friendly team!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Clock them round the head when you get back.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Judith, you will be in the final. Janice, you won't.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Do come and rejoin your team-mates.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45The Eggheads have lost two brains. The last subject is Geography.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50- Who is the geographer?- Are you happy to go for it there, John?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Well, why not, why not?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Who do I take on? - Erm, right, it's only...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59So, I think it's going to be John.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Against?- So, it's another sacrifice
0:16:02 > 0:16:06cos I'm not expecting to win and I'll take on Daphne.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09So, it is John from the Brighton Bouleheads against
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Daphne from the Eggheads. Do take your positions now.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Three questions, multiple choice
0:16:15 > 0:16:17and, John, you get to choose the first or second set.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21As we lost the last round, I'm gonna ring the changes and go second.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Daphne, Aeroflot is the national airline of which country?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31It's Russia.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Russia is the correct answer.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36John, your question.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Beverly Hills is a city in which US state?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I didn't know it was a city, I thought it was merely
0:16:46 > 0:16:49a suburb of Los Angeles, but it's in California.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Quite right, too. 1-1.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Back to you, Daphne.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58The northern part of the Greek island of Corfu
0:16:58 > 0:17:01is just two miles from the coast of which country?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Well, it's not Tunisia, is it?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14It's quite close to...
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Turkey...
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Albania.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Albania is correct!
0:17:23 > 0:17:26John, Electric Avenue, the first shopping street in
0:17:26 > 0:17:29London to be lit by electricity, is located in which part of the city?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35That would be in Brixton, quite close to the station.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37How do you know that?
0:17:37 > 0:17:41We drive past it on the way to Brighton
0:17:41 > 0:17:43when you go to get the A23.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45And there's a club called The Electric.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Right, Brixton is the answer.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Well done, John.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Daphne, what is the county town of Kerry in the Republic of Ireland?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Hold on.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Now, Ennis is County Clare.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09It's Tralee.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Yes, it is Tralee.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12I've been there!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I think you're better at geography than you're letting on.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18No!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Which means, John, if you don't get this right,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23you're not in the final round and Daphne is.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Drammen is a seaport in which Scandinavian country?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Spelt D-R-A-M-M-E-N.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Well, I lived in Norway for a couple of years
0:18:39 > 0:18:41and I don't remember hearing of it there.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Sweden and Finland, I can't think of it in either one off hand.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49So, I'm going to guess for Finland.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54You should have gone back to where you lived and thought a little bit
0:18:54 > 0:18:59more about Norway because that's where Drammen is! It's in Norway.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Sorry, you're not in the final round, Daphne is.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06She got more answers right, it was that simple.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09So both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11This is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I'm afraid those of you who lost won't be allowed
0:19:17 > 0:19:18to take part in this round.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22So, Janice and John from the Brighton Bouleheads,
0:19:22 > 0:19:26and CJ and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31So, Jay, so far you haven't been in a round.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Are you the secret weapon?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I hadn't thought of myself as that,
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- it's just the way it's turned out! - OK, let's see what happens now.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43This is the all important moment with £16,000 up for grabs.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47You're playing to win the Brighton Bouleheads all that money.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Judith, Kevin and Daphne, you're playing for something
0:19:50 > 0:19:53money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58This time the questions are General Knowledge
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Brighton Bouleheads, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:20:04 > 0:20:09So, David, Jay and Justin, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Just for a change, I think we'll go first.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Here we go! How many gospels are there in the New Testament?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Erm, well...- Well, there are four.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25It is four.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but is there a fifth one?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31No, there are four gospels,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33the Acts Of The Apostles and The Letters.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- So, not counting...- Ah ah!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- No, go on.- Definitely four.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Are you happy with that?- It's Mark, Matthew, Luke and John, four.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Four is correct.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Well done for not over complicating it! It can be very dangerous.- Yes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Well done.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Eggheads, which musical instrument shares its name
0:20:54 > 0:20:58with a kitchen utensil used to slice vegetables and consisting
0:20:58 > 0:21:01of adjustable blades in a frame?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Yeah, yeah.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09That is a mandolin.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Mandolin is correct.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14One each. Over to you, Brighton Bouleheads.
0:21:14 > 0:21:20Vicki Vale is the love interest of which comic book hero?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Vicki Vale?- Vicki Vale?
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Vicki Vale. V-I-C-K-I, then V-A-L-E.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Well, it's not Superman, surely, because wasn't that Lois Lane?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Precisely.- Batman or Iron Man, I don't know.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Do you know what? I think it's Batman.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Why?- It rings a bell.- You've seen some of the Batman films?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Vicki Vale rings a bell.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Who is Iron Man?- Iron Man? I haven't got a clue about Iron Man.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Recently filmed, isn't it? Does he have a sidekick?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57If you're happy with Batman...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Batman? Vicki Vale?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01After careful consideration, Jeremy,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05We're going to go for Batman and pray!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08You don't need to pray, you're right! Batman is correct!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Well done, Justin.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Eggheads - gules,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19derived from an old French word for an animal's mouth or throat,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23is the heraldic term for which colour?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29That is red.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33What sort of a red is it? Like the sweater
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- that Judith is wearing?- That's pink!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Yeah, it's darker. Darker than that. - It's more like Justin's shirt.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Red like Justin's shirt?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I'll accept that! It's correct.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47This is where it gets really tight.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50If you get this right, you put the pressure on them
0:22:50 > 0:22:52and they can trip up.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54George Bernard Shaw's play
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Man And Superman is based on which opera by Mozart?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Jay is the one here.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I didn't know, but it has to be Don Giovanni.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Why?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Erm...The Magic Flute is, is a...
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Masonic, lightweight piece.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Marriage Of Figaro is a comedy of manners. It has to be Don Giovanni.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Have you ever heard of this connection before?- I haven't,
0:23:26 > 0:23:27but I'm pretty sure it's that.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- What we going?- Don Giovanni.- Yeah.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Elimination.- I thought that.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36With further prayer, we'll go for Don Giovanni.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- Justin agrees, you're certain about that?- Yeah.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Don Giovanni, well done! Three out of three.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Couldn't have done any better than that.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Now, what you need is total Eggheads collapse on the third question
0:23:49 > 0:23:53and, believe me, we've seen that before.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Francis Blake, born in Massachusetts
0:23:57 > 0:24:01in 1850, was instrumental in the development of which invention?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- I wonder if the wording is significant there.- Pardon?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Wondering if the wording is significant, "Was instrumental in".
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Yes.- I'm just wondering...
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Yes, yeah, if he was involved in...
0:24:20 > 0:24:23He might just have been somebody who they spoke to.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- 1850?- Well, it would be the right...
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Because Alexander Graham Bell was working on that in the mid-1870s.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- So, he took it on? - And it was in Massachusetts.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36What about tram?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Who knows? Ballpoint pen, who knows?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41No, I don't think ballpoint pen.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Well, Biro is credited with the invention of the ballpoint pen.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48As far as the tram is concerned...
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Well, trams were first of all horse drawn, weren't they?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Yes, yes.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Very true. - Let's go with your instinct.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I don't know, we're hoping that in some way
0:25:00 > 0:25:03he might have been involved in the development, although
0:25:03 > 0:25:07famously it's Alexander Graham Bell of course, and his assistant was
0:25:07 > 0:25:11called Watson, but nevertheless, we're hoping that he might
0:25:11 > 0:25:15somehow have been involved in early phone calls and we'll say telephone.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18You think it's the telephone?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21You don't know anything about the tram or the ballpoint pen...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25..but you are right! It is the telephone!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Well done!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29All right, Bouleheads, you were close
0:25:29 > 0:25:34- to it there.- Very disappointing. - Often they don't know and then
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- they do, you know what I mean? - Yes, it's very annoying.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40So, three multiple choice questions. Now, sudden death,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43and these questions are not multiple choice, need an answer.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47You're first. What is the name of the old navy punishment of dragging
0:25:47 > 0:25:52the offender underneath the ship from one side to the other by means
0:25:52 > 0:25:56of ropes attached to the yards?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Keeling? Hauling and keeling?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Keeling?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Oh, I wasn't going to say that.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12I know it came up in the first version of Mutiny On The Bounty.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Erm, I mean, you may be right, hauling.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Keeling. It's keeling. I'm pretty sure it's keeling.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Well, try that, Dave.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I'm trying to summon up my boyhood
0:26:24 > 0:26:28recollections of pirate films and that sort of thing.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34We think, I think, but with some support, it might be keeling.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38So, your answer is keeling?
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Yeah. That would be certainly part of the answer.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47OK, it's wrong, but you are close and when you used the word haul
0:26:47 > 0:26:51earlier, you were very, very close because it's keelhaul, one word.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Ah, of course, yes!
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Keelhaul.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- I know that's painful.- Quite. - But we have to run a tight ship.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Eggheads, your chance for victory, to take the money
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and preserve your reputation.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09"The stench was so bad that the entire town took to the hills",
0:27:09 > 0:27:14was how the historian Frederick Pike described the arrival in Southampton
0:27:14 > 0:27:20in 1840 of which prized agricultural import from Peru?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Guano?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Does it come from Peru?- Yeah.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Other places as well, but that was famous for...- Guano.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Yeah, off the coast there,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33there are certain islands and along the coastal strip, yeah.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38I think that seems... Well, we haven't heard that particular fact
0:27:38 > 0:27:42but Peru was, particularly from the mid-19th century,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46was famous for the export of guano, bird droppings.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51If you get this right you've taken the money away from our Bouleheads.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Get it wrong, they're back in the game.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58You're right, it's guano. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Congratulations!
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You played them fast and tight.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Commiserations, challengers.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Their winning streak continues.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £16,000.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Which means that money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Eggheads, congratulations. Who is going to beat you?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Join us next time to see if the new challengers
0:28:25 > 0:28:27have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29£17,000 says they don't.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Till then, goodbye.
