0:00:04 > 0:00:08JEREMY VINE: These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:37You may recognise them as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are Beauty and the Beef.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44The team are all body builders who have become friends
0:00:44 > 0:00:47through meeting at competitions and online forums.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52They all compete in various competitions without the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Jeff. I'm 52. I'm an author and personal trainer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm John. I'm 36 and I'm also a personal trainer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hiya, I'm Jamie. I'm 30 and I'm an IT services manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Kelly. I'm 36 and I'm a yoga instructor.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 25. I'm a personal trainer and I'm a managing director.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Welcome Beauty and the Beef. - Hello.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19What a striking team we have here. Very, very well built indeed.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- I hope I'm not being rude to Kelly in saying that, but you are all body builders?- Yes.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And you're 52, Jeff?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Yes. - You look well on it!
0:01:29 > 0:01:32That's very kind of you to say so. I mean, if I do,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36that's a testament to the benefits of pumping iron day in, day out,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38for the last 34 years.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Without drugs, it's important to say, because a lot of people assume
0:01:41 > 0:01:46if somebody has a massive physique, that it must be drug-induced.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51Well, I mean, I'm not massive, er, but I have a long shelf life.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53And, er, athletes that take drugs
0:01:53 > 0:01:56may in fact progress very rapidly for a short time,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00but then they'll come down just as quickly as they rose to the top.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Welcome. We're impressed already and you haven't even answered a question yet!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12If they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17So, Beauty and the Beef, the Eggheads, you'll be pleased to know, have won the last 17 games.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23- Which means £18,000...- Wow! - ..says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24We can!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27That's it. You've got a lot of determination, I can see that.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Which one of you wants this? - Well, ooh.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I mean, I said I would go.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Do you want me to go?- Yeah. - Do you want me to do it?- Bless you.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43History and Politics were the two least popular subjects,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46but I think the view was that because I'm the oldest
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I'm likely to have experienced more history and more politics,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51so I'll volunteer.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55OK, against which Egghead? Which one looks like the political turkey?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I think I'd like to compete against Barry.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Barry, our new boy? OK. - That's correct.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Jeff from Beauty and the Beef against Barry from the Eggheads.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15OK, it's Politics. I'll ask you three multiple-choice questions in turn,
0:03:15 > 0:03:20whoever answers the most is the winner. Jeff, you can choose first or second set of questions.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'll go first, please.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Which political party
0:03:26 > 0:03:31did William Gladstone represent as prime minister four times?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, I don't think the Labour Party was in existence
0:03:38 > 0:03:41when Gladstone was prime minister.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I think the Labour Party was founded in 1900.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I think that the Conservative prime minister about that time
0:03:48 > 0:03:50was Benjamin Disraeli.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53So, I'm pretty certain that William Gladstone
0:03:53 > 0:03:54was a Liberal prime minister.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Great stuff. You're right. Liberal.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04In 2005, Barry, which British politician promised that voting Tory
0:04:04 > 0:04:07"Will cause your wife to have bigger breasts
0:04:07 > 0:04:10"and increase your chances of owning a BMW?"
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I don't think it's the sort of thing David Cameron would say.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I think Jeffrey Archer would probably have more nous not to say that,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24so I shall go for Boris Johnson.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Boris Johnson is correct. Well done. It could only be him!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Over to you, Jeff.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Who became prime minister of Russia for the second time in May 2008?
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Vladimir Putin is my favourite choice,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53however, I believe that he actually changed jobs this year.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59Er, if he is now prime minister, I think that maybe he had another job before that
0:04:59 > 0:05:03but maybe he was prime minister before his, er, his penultimate job.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06So, I've no feel for the other two.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I'm going to have to go Vladimir Putin.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You are right. Well done.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Barry, your question.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Which Republican did John F Kennedy defeat in the 1960 American presidential election?
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Well, Dwight D Eisenhower was the president before the 1960 election.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Herbert Hoover was much earlier.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35But, due to some chicanery by Mayor Daley in Chicago,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39John F Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon in the 1960 election.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Very close election, you're right. It was Richard Nixon who lost.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49Your question, Jeff. The Moderate Party led by Fredrik Reinfeldt
0:05:49 > 0:05:53became the ruling political power in which Scandinavian country in 2006?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I don't know the answer to this
0:06:01 > 0:06:04so this, unfortunately, is going to be a guess,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07or, fortunately, if I happen to make the right guess.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Er...
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I don't think it's...
0:06:13 > 0:06:14..Sweden.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'm going to go for Finland.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Actually, it was Sweden. - Oh, dear.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Two out of three, that means it's Barry's chance to take the round with this third question.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31How many times has the French president Nicolas Sarkozy been married?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Well, his current wife is the delectable Car... Mrs Bruni.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Er, but how many times has he been married?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45I know he's been married once before,
0:06:45 > 0:06:49but I can't think of any other marriages he's had, so I'm going to say two.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Anyone remember any others?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Didn't he have one more wife before the last one?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Yes, he did. It was three, Barry. - Oh!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00So, it's two-all after three questions, the scores are level.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01We go to Sudden Death.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04To make it that bit harder, these questions are not multiple-choice.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Jeff, here's yours.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Which American-born MP elected in 1919 said,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12"Women have got to make the world safe for men
0:07:12 > 0:07:16"since men have made it so darned unsafe for women."
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I've heard the quote,
0:07:19 > 0:07:24but it's the fact that it's an American-born member of parliament
0:07:24 > 0:07:27which is giving me some difficulty.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Er, I would have said Winston Churchill, er,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34because he had American connections.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38But I just cannot think who it might be.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Er...
0:07:41 > 0:07:42I'll go, er...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45..with er, Asquith.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47That's the wrong answer.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It was Nancy Astor.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Right.- She was mates with Churchill, wasn't she, anybody?- Yeah.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Barry, your question.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57In 1956, Kirribilli House
0:07:57 > 0:08:01became an official residence of the prime minister of which country?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Kirribilli.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Well, I've never heard of this but it sounds vaguely Australian.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12So, er, on the basis that there's many towns in Australia that have similar sounding names,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I will say Australia.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Australia is correct. It's the official residence in Sydney.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20You've taken the round on Politics.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Sorry, Jeff. Strong performance. Strong man's performance.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27But you were beaten by our Egghead so you can't help your team in the final round.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Do, both of you, come back to the studio.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32The challengers have lost one brain.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Eggheads have lost no brains from that final round.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Next subject is Arts & Books. Which of you wants Arts & Books?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42PAUL: How about you, Kelly?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I'd be no good. I'd be rubbish. - I think Kelly should answer Arts & Books.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- Yeah.- Jamie, would you...? Yeah. - Jamie.- Yeah. Are you OK with that?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Yeah?- Go on, OK.- Who's doing it?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Jamie.- I will. - Jamie against which Egghead?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57PAUL: Which one would you like? You can't have Barry.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Daphne?- I like it. - Daphne, we'll go with Daphne.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04So, Jamie from Beauty and the Beef versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08To ensure there's no conferring, take your positions in the Question Room.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Jamie, would you like the first set of questions or the second? - First, please.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Here we go. Smee is the right-hand man of which fictional character?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Er, it's an easy one this one.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32My little girl loves Peter Pan, so I'm going to go with Captain Hook.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Captain Hook is correct. Thank her for that.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35CLAPPING
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Daphne, your question.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41In which country was the writer Marian Keyes born?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46She's Irish.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- She is indeed.- Yes, yes. - You got it. Well done.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Jamie, back to you.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Only three names appear in the titles of Shakespeare's history plays.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Henry, John, and which other?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Erm, I wouldn't say it was Charles and I don't think it was William,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11so I'm going to go with Richard.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Yeah, Richard is right.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Richard I.- No!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Richard II, what other plays?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Richard II, Richard III.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- There's no Richard I?- No.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26OK, Daphne. Your turn. SMERSH, meaning "Death to Spies",
0:10:26 > 0:10:31is the counter-intelligence agency featured in a series of novels involving which character?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I'm sure CJ would have loved this.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's James Bond.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43James Bond is absolutely right.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45OK, it's two points apiece.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Jamie try and get this right if you can, because you can put pressure on Daphne.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Marlow and Kurtz are characters from which work by Joseph Conrad?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Erm, I'm going to have to take a complete guess at this one.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'm going to guess at Heart of Darkness.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Jeff, you pleased about that? - I am indeed.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09He got it right. Well done, Jamie.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11JEFF: Well done, Jamie.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13CLAPPING
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- So, Daphne, if you get this wrong you are out of the final.- I know.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21The roots of the artistic movement, Dadaism, are said to go back
0:11:21 > 0:11:25to the Cabaret Voltaire in which European city?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I think that was Zurich.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35You're right, it's Zurich. So you've had a perfect round both of you.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Three points each and now we move to Sudden Death.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Jamie, your question. Which novel by EM Forster contains the famous quote,
0:11:44 > 0:11:45"Only connect."
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Erm...
0:11:52 > 0:11:56I'm afraid I don't know any novels by EM Forster, so I'm going to have to pass.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58OK, the answer is Howard's End.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Daphne, if you get this right, you've taken the round.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Sudden Death, remember?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Which 17th-century French playwright
0:12:06 > 0:12:11wrote the plays Le Misanthrope and Le Malade Imaginaire?
0:12:13 > 0:12:19- Moliere.- Is the correct answer, Daphne, well done to you, you've taken the round.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Sorry, Jamie, you just got edged out by our Egghead
0:12:22 > 0:12:25so you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Do please, both of you, come back, rejoin your team-mates.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35As it stands the challengers have lost two brains from the final round whilst the Eggheads have lost none.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39The next subject is Music. Who from the challengers wants to play on Music?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- JOHN: I'll go. - JEFF: John? You OK for doing that?
0:12:42 > 0:12:48- Yeah?- Yeah.- Yeah. - John, the personal trainer...- Yep. - ..who is looking unmusical?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Chris, please.- Chris!
0:12:50 > 0:12:51LAUGHTER
0:12:51 > 0:12:55It's John from Beauty and the Beef against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Three questions on Music, multiple-choice.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- You get the first or second set, which do you want, John? - First, please.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14How many strings does a standard double bass have?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Erm, well, I'm learning to play the guitar.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21The guitar has got six strings.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Er, and I know a bass guitar has four, so I'm going to go for four.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Four is correct. Well done.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Chris, your question. In which year was Charlotte Church born?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Oh.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Well, she's... Last I heard she was 22.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48So that would make her born in 1986.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51That's the correct answer.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57John, your question. Which Irish singer attracted international criticism
0:13:57 > 0:14:00after tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II
0:14:00 > 0:14:03live on American TV in 1992?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Er, I think...
0:14:11 > 0:14:13One of my favourite artists is Prince.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17He wrote a song for her which was her biggest hit, so I'm going to go for Sinead O'Connor.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Absolutely right, well done.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26Chris your question. Who composed the scores for the films Zulu, Born Free and Dances With Wolves?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Well, some of the score from Dances With Wolves is some of my favourite pieces of music
0:14:35 > 0:14:37so it's John Barry.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Yeah, really good, Chris. Well done.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42John back to you.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Which film star is the bass guitarist for the rock band Dogstar,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49formerly known as Small Fecal Matter?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01I have absolutely no idea, so I'm going to guess Keanu Reeves.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Let's see what your team-mates think. Anyone heard of Small Fecal Matter?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Yeah, yeah.- Dog Star. Keanu Reeves, you're right. Good! - Yeah.- Three out of three.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12APPLAUSE
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Straight to it. Puts the pressure on our Egghead here as well.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Here's your question. Get this wrong, you're not in the final round.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Crispian Mills, the grandson of the Oscar-winning actor John Mills,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27was the lead singer of which 1990s band?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Hmm...
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I don't think it was Kula Shaker.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Certainly quirky name for an obviously British group. I'll say Shed Seven.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Shed Seven has prompted celebrations already.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Early celebrations next door, because Chris you were wrong, it was Kula Shaker.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55So, John, you've knocked out your Egghead.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Well done to you, personal trainer with big biceps.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04It's goodbye to Chris. He won't be in the final round. Do, both of you, come back to the studio.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12The challengers have now lost two brains and the Eggheads have lost one brain, which is Chris.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Our last subject is Sport.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I think you probably fancy this.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- JEFF: It would have been... - I think it's going to be you.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Kelly or Paul?- You happy for Paul to do it?- Yeah, that's fine.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- All right? Paul.- Yeah, yeah.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- Paul will do it?- Yeah.- Against which Egghead? You can have Judith or CJ.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Judith.- Judith?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Judith? Yeah?- Yeah. - We'll go for Judith.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Paul from Beauty and the Beef versus Judith from the Eggheads. Please take your positions.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49OK, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Sport in turn.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Paul, if you get an answer right we want your chest to ripple!
0:16:52 > 0:16:53For sure!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Do you want the first or second set of questions on Sport?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'll go for the first please.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05First question. Which country won football's Euro 2008?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Er, well, it was er, Germany and Spain together,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12and er, Spain were victorious.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I hope that's right.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Spain did win. I got a memory it was 7-0 but it was only one, wasn't it?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Just one goal.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- Fernando Torres.- That's right, Torres.- Yeah.- Yes. - Well done, Daphne.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Liverpool player!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31OK, Judith, your question. Between 1968 and 1980,
0:17:31 > 0:17:36the name of every host city of the Summer Olympics began with which letter?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- M.- M is right.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- Mexico City, etc. - Yeah. That's it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45M. Paul,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49in rugby union, what number shirt is normally worn by a scrum half?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Erm, I have no idea...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59..so I'll take a guess, er...
0:17:59 > 0:18:01..I will go for 9.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Good guess, you're right.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Taking the lead against our Egghead.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Stand by, Judith.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Which Sri Lankan wicketkeeper and batsman
0:18:09 > 0:18:15scored 968 test match runs in 2007
0:18:15 > 0:18:18at a remarkable average of 138?
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Was it...
0:18:27 > 0:18:31I've just got to sort out what sounds Sri Lankan.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Kumar is an Indian name, isn't it?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37So maybe I'll eliminate that.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42De Silva, that could be Goanese
0:18:42 > 0:18:44because Goa is Portugal
0:18:44 > 0:18:45and that's also India.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50So, I'm going to try for, erm, the middle one which I can't pronounce.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- Sanath Jayasuriya?- Yes.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- That's your answer?- Yes.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- It's wrong, it's Kumar Sangakkara. - Oh.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06So, third question. If you get this one right, Paul, you have the round.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Which of men's golf's four major tournaments
0:19:09 > 0:19:12falls last in the calendar year?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Erm, pfft! I don't know.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23So, I'll take a guess at the PGA Championship.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- How did you come to that? - It was in the middle.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29LAUGHTER
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- The middle was right.- Yes, come on! - Well done.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34APPLAUSE
0:19:34 > 0:19:35PAUL GRUNTS
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Oh, look at that! Paul, you are with your team in the final.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Do rejoin your team-mates now.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43This is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52But I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57So Jeff and Jamie, from Beauty and the Beef, and Chris and Judith, from the Eggheads,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59would you please leave the studio?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05John, Kelly and Paul, you are playing to win Beauty and the Beef £18,000.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Quite a lot of money.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13CJ, Daphne and Barry, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20This time the questions are all general knowledge. You ARE allowed to confer.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Beauty and the Beef, the question is are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27John, Kelly and Paul, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- First?- First.- First, yeah. - First, please.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39The Ark of the Covenant was the sacred chest in which the ancient Hebrews kept what?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Well, it was in the erm... - The Ark of the Covenant?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- They put it in Indiana Jones. - Indiana Jones! The Ten Commandments.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53When they opened it in Indiana Jones the Ten Commandments...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Marks covered their faces. - Yeah, yeah!
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Because they didn't abide by them. - Right.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59KELLY: Yeah, OK!
0:20:59 > 0:21:05We're going from Indiana Jones, er, the Ten Commandments.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Yeah, the film was a great help and you're right. The Ten Commandments...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11APPLAUSE
0:21:11 > 0:21:12..in the Ark of the Covenant.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16OK, Eggheads, which American comic book writer
0:21:16 > 0:21:20who co-created Spiderman, the X-Men, and the Incredible Hulk,
0:21:20 > 0:21:25became publisher and editorial director of Marvel Comics in 1972?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Stan Lee.- Stan Lee.- Yes.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Erm, in all the recent Marvel films
0:21:35 > 0:21:38he has a very brief cameo appearance and it's Stan Lee.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Stan Lee is the right answer.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44You got a point as well.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Next question is for Beauty and the Beef.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49What is the name of the military tattoo first held in 1880
0:21:49 > 0:21:55that was scrapped as a cost-cutting measure by Tony Blair in 1999?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Do you know?- No, but...
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Haven't got a clue?- It...
0:22:09 > 0:22:13The only thing I can think of is do you know when they do,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16that display when they dismantle the cannons, doing all that stuff?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19The Edinburgh Festival tattoo?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21That's the only thing I can think of.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- What's it called though? - I might say Royal Tournament, but I don't know.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- Ain't got a clue. - Mine would be a complete guess and I'd say Royal Exhibition.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- I think Gala!- Oh, no!- All three?!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36No, I think Tournament.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Oh!- Royal Tournament.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44We detect you're not certain.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- No, I'm not but...- Pfft!
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- You're right.- Oh, come on!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- PAUL: It is the Royal Tournament. - KELLY: Well done!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- OK, Eggheads.- Whoo!- Game on.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Which TV sketch show features the characters Jiffy the Traffic Warden
0:23:01 > 0:23:04and the first black female US president?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- It's Little Miss Jocelyn. - I don't know this one.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16She is black and it's not in The Fast Show or Armstrong & Miller because I watch those.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I've seen...Yes, it is.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Yeah, it's Little Miss Jocelyn. I think she's on BBC 3.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27In all the advertising sketches she's wearing a traffic warden's uniform.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Little Miss Jocelyn is the correct answer, Eggheads, well done.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Two apiece so you have to get this right to keep the pressure on them
0:23:33 > 0:23:36otherwise they take charge.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Here's your question, Beauty and the Beef.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43In Norse mythology, what type of creature is Sleipnir
0:23:43 > 0:23:48who carried Odin between the worlds of the gods?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Sleipnir? Pfft! Erm...
0:23:53 > 0:23:58- Did Nordic people believe in dragons?- What do you think?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59I'd have to say wolf.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00- Yeah?- Mm-hm.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Wolf.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- You want to say wolf?- Yeah.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Please be right.- That's your answer? What's the reason for wolf?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- Kelly said wolf.- You just said wolf, suddenly?- Dragon is a big word.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15It's just an association with erm...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You've got a Sleipnir wolf-thing going on!
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- It's a horse.- Argh!- Norse horse!
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Of course!
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Maybe you pounced a bit too quickly there,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32but the Eggheads must get this next question wrong
0:24:32 > 0:24:35or it's curtains for the Beef.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Eggheads, "Where both deliberate, the love is slight."
0:24:41 > 0:24:44"Whoever loved that loved not at first sight?"
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Are lines from the poem Hero And Leander by which writer?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- All right, we're agreed we're not going to go for Shakespeare.- No.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I can't think of anything like that from Shakespeare, from a poem.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Me neither. - No, but how about Marlowe?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09He's not renowned for his poetry is he, Marlowe? He's renowned more for his plays.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I think Jonson is the cover bet, isn't it?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Yeah.- The most likely.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Want to go for that?- Yes.- Yes.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20We don't know it, erm...
0:25:20 > 0:25:25We're going to go for what we think is the most likely which is Ben Jonson.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26You are wrong.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- Christopher Marlowe. - It's Christopher Marlowe.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Sorry, but it's... - You must be a lucky lot,
0:25:34 > 0:25:41because it doesn't happen very often that they let you off the hook on the third question,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43We are now in Sudden Death so anything can happen.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Here we go.
0:25:44 > 0:25:50Which financial term is a Latin word originally meaning "It concerns"?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Erm...- A financial term.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- It concerns.- It concerns.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- It's not et cetera, is it? - No, no. I shouldn't think so.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Hang on though.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08I can't even try to invent the word.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Why don't we just say et cetera? - Et cetera is the only thing that comes into my head but...
0:26:12 > 0:26:13- Et cetera?- Mmm.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17OK. I'll take that as your answer.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20It's a financial term. Interest.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- Oh!- Ha-ha!- Interest.- No! - I hadn't, didn't know that!
0:26:26 > 0:26:31You're not out yet, there's £18,000 ready and waiting for you,
0:26:31 > 0:26:35but they have to get the next question wrong and if they get it right you're going home without it.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40So, here's the question, Eggheads, knowing all of that,
0:26:40 > 0:26:45what is the lowest grade of non-commissioned officer in the British Army?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- A non-commissioned officer? - A warrant officer.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49No, it's non-commissioned.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- A warrant officer isn't commissioned.- No.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- The lowest grade. - Anything under that.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- So, like lance corporal? - Oh, the lower...
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Oh, I see.- Lance corporal... - But lance corporal is not an officer.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05No but, and...
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- A lance corporal is a rank. - At least they don't know it for sure!
0:27:09 > 0:27:14Unless it's a warrant officer then it's the lowest grade of non-commissioned.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It's the highest grade of non-commissioned, you must be right.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- It must be lance corporal. - I can't think of anything below lance corporal but...
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- It's a private below lance corporal. - Yeah.- Yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Is lance corporal non-commissioned? - Yeah. Yeah. He's an NCO.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32- Logically what else can it be then? - OK, then. Go for that?- Yep.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38Erm, again we're not sure, but we seem to have narrowed it down to a lance corporal.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42You think lance corporal. And what does non-commissioned mean in this context?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Over to Barry.- Somebody who's not...
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Commissioned is you receiving a warrant from the queen.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53- Non-commissioned means? - It means you haven't, I presume. - You don't even know that?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58I don't know how you've done it, but lance corporal is the right answer.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02APPLAUSE
0:28:06 > 0:28:10The way they were going I couldn't believe they'd end up with the right answer!
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- I knew the answer to that one. - That's even worse!
0:28:12 > 0:28:17The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. Their winning streak continues.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19You can see why they're so good.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £18,000
0:28:22 > 0:28:25which means that the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? I wonder.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if the new Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36£19,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Till then, goodbye.
