0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most

0:00:12 > 0:00:14formidable 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 challengers

0:00:26 > 0:00:28pit their wits against possibly

0:00:28 > 0:00:30the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35You might recognise them as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows... They are the Eggheads.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths

0:00:39 > 0:00:41today are the Twyning Players.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45They are all members of an amateur dramatics group in Tewkesbury.

0:00:45 > 0:00:51Twice a year they put on productions at their club and often quiz together, so let's meet them.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Patti, I'm 55 and I'm a Medical Secretary.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Rick, I'm 57 and I'm in Property Development.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Nigel, I'm 57 and I'm a Farmer.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Ian, I'm 48 and I'm an Estate Agent.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm David, I'm 45 and I'm a GP.

0:01:09 > 0:01:16- Welcome, Twyning Players.- Thank you. - Great to have actors. I'm told the last two teams who won were actors.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Really?- Yes, and they put on a great display of excitement

0:01:20 > 0:01:22when they did take the money home!

0:01:22 > 0:01:25And I know we've got some celebrity connections here

0:01:25 > 0:01:30because I think it's Rick who exchanged a wink with Paul McCartney

0:01:30 > 0:01:32in the toilets!

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Well, it was in the queue to the toilet, yes,

0:01:34 > 0:01:39and I actually went in before him because he got distracted and there

0:01:39 > 0:01:42were a few other people in there but I didn't exchange anything with them!

0:01:42 > 0:01:46You don't nod to everyone you see in the loos?

0:01:46 > 0:01:49David, you also - this is great because I love this band,

0:01:49 > 0:01:51at university, The Smiths were playing...

0:01:51 > 0:01:54- That's right. - Which is mid-'80s, in their heyday,

0:01:54 > 0:01:59- and you had to give Morrissey a lift home in your car!- Yes. There were so many people screaming and shouting

0:01:59 > 0:02:07at both the front door and the back door that we had to slip him out the side and he was stuck,

0:02:07 > 0:02:11he didn't know where to go, so I took him in my car down to the hotel

0:02:11 > 0:02:13he was staying at.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16He sat in the back and he was very quiet, it has to be said.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18So you didn't get any great lines out of him?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21No, no, nothing, actually... almost complete silence.

0:02:21 > 0:02:26And so you are all actors, you all act in your productions which are on roughly once every, what?

0:02:26 > 0:02:30Every six months. Well, one in May and one in December.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Well, good luck with this production.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our

0:02:35 > 0:02:40challengers but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42So, Twyning Players, the Eggheads

0:02:42 > 0:02:47have won the last 19 games, which means £20,000

0:02:47 > 0:02:51says you can't beat the Eggheads. They are due to lose sometime soon.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54The new man, Barry, is somehow stopping them from losing, it seems.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56The first head-to-head battle

0:02:56 > 0:03:01will be on the subject of Science, so who against which Egghead?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04I think that's you, isn't it, David?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK, I'll take it.

0:03:06 > 0:03:12- OK. Our GP from Worcester - David, against?- Judith.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14She's looking nervous to me!

0:03:14 > 0:03:16- I'm not!- She's not nervous... Angry!

0:03:16 > 0:03:22Try Judith, yeah, if I may?

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Good. David from the Twyning Players against Judith from the Eggheads on Science.

0:03:26 > 0:03:31To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36OK, David, I'll ask each of you three multiple choice questions

0:03:36 > 0:03:39on Science in turn, and you can choose the first or second set.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41I'll go first, please.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48Pewter is typically an alloy of tin and which other metal?

0:03:48 > 0:03:52Is it potassium, lead or magnesium?

0:03:52 > 0:03:54I don't think it's magnesium,

0:03:54 > 0:03:59that's a bit violent and I don't think it's potassium.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00I think the answer is lead.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Spot on. Well done.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Judith, your first question on science.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Judith, what name is given to the rapid

0:04:07 > 0:04:10chemical reaction between substances that is usually accompanied

0:04:10 > 0:04:15by the generation of heat and light in the form of a flame?

0:04:15 > 0:04:20Is it covalency, catabolism or combustion?

0:04:20 > 0:04:24I think that must be combustion, isn't it?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26That's the correct answer.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29OK, next question for you, David.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31If an egg is rotten, what will it do

0:04:31 > 0:04:35when it is carefully lowered in its shell into a bowl of water?

0:04:35 > 0:04:40Will it Float to the Surface, Become Paler, or Sink to the Bottom?

0:04:40 > 0:04:45I don't think it becomes paler, I'm pretty sure of that.

0:04:45 > 0:04:51It either sinks or it floats and I think probably when it is

0:04:51 > 0:04:56rotting it is producing gases, so I'd guess that it floats to the surface.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Great stuff, David, you're right.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Thank you.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Judith, Goliath frogs, which can grow

0:05:06 > 0:05:10to over one foot long are indigenous to which continent?

0:05:10 > 0:05:16South America, Africa or Asia?

0:05:16 > 0:05:17Oh, dear!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Goliath frogs.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23They could be anywhere!

0:05:23 > 0:05:26I mean it's just a matter of eenie-meenie.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34I think they're in South America, in the Amazon Jungle.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Can you give us a postcode?

0:05:37 > 0:05:40I'm sorry. It's wrong. It's Africa.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42It's Africa!

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Goliath Frogs are from Africa, so David, you have the advantage here.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51If you get this question right, you've knocked Judith out.

0:05:51 > 0:05:57Which heavenly body was the destination of NASA's series of Ranger missions?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00The Moon, Venus, or Mars?

0:06:00 > 0:06:06Astronomy is not one of my strong points.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Ranger...

0:06:11 > 0:06:18I don't think it's Venus, but I'm not sure. I think it's Mars.

0:06:18 > 0:06:23No, it was the Moon. Bad luck.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Judith, your question to level it.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Which Nobel Prize for Physics winner who died in 1984

0:06:30 > 0:06:36succeeded Sir Richard Woolley as Astronomer-Royal in 1972?

0:06:36 > 0:06:42Is it Frank Dyson, Arnold Wolfendale or Martin Ryle?

0:06:42 > 0:06:46I thought there was another Martin who was Astronomer-Royal,

0:06:46 > 0:06:49who was the one who still is.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53So I am thrown by that.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57I think I'm going to say Martin Ryle.

0:06:57 > 0:07:03Maybe I got his surname wrong in my mind.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05- OK. Martin Ryle is your answer?- Mmm.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- It's the right answer, Judith. - I must have got it wrong in my mind.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12Why would... Because the Astronomer-Royal is Martin now?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14She's confusing it with the present Astronomer-Royal who is Martin Reece.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18I know this is gonna come as a shock, Judith, but there's more than one Martin in this country!

0:07:18 > 0:07:19I know!

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Anyway, you've pulled yourself back into it with stupendous guesswork.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Well, done. So now we go to sudden death.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29It gets harder, David, because these questions are not multiple choice.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30- Are you ready?- I'm ready.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Which triangular bone in the lower back

0:07:33 > 0:07:38formed from five fused vertebrae has a name meaning "sacred bone"

0:07:38 > 0:07:42as it was thought to be where the soul resides?

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Thank you for that one. That's the sacrum.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49It is, and you're a GP and you must, I guess...

0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Shouldn't have got it wrong! - You come across them, yeah.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Judith, your question.

0:07:55 > 0:07:56If you get this wrong, you're not in the final.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01What type of creature is the stream-dwelling Hellbender,

0:08:01 > 0:08:03also known as the "devil dog"?

0:08:03 > 0:08:07It's not a Tasmanian Devil, is it?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- A Tasmanian Devil?- Yeah.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Is that your answer?- Yeah. It's a kind of dog that lives in a stream? - Maybe!

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- It's a salamander.- Oh, is it?!

0:08:18 > 0:08:22Judith, you didn't get salamander, so the GP has taken the round,

0:08:22 > 0:08:27and that means our Egghead is out of the final. First blood to the actors, well done.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31Come back to the studio, please.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36So, as it stands, the Eggheads have lost one brain from the final round.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40The challengers have lost no brains. Our next subject is Film and TV.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Who wants this?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Lots of actors...

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Do you want to do that one,

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Ian, yeah, OK? Ian.- Ian? The estate agent, OK.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Who are you gonna go against?

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Give Kevin a go?

0:08:57 > 0:09:02So it's Ian from the Twyning Players against Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11We'll ask you three questions on Film and Television in turn,

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Ian and Kevin. Ian, you can choose the first or second set.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15I'll go first, please.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21What was the name of the TV soap that was launched on Channel Five

0:09:21 > 0:09:26in 1997 and cancelled in 2005?

0:09:26 > 0:09:31Was it Echo Beach, Doctors or Family Affairs?

0:09:32 > 0:09:36Right. Well, it's certainly not Echo Beach, because that's quite

0:09:36 > 0:09:38an interesting double story there.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42I can't say I know Doctors.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I will go for Family Affairs.

0:09:44 > 0:09:49Good one! Difficult question, that, and spot on, well done.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Kevin, here's your first question.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Who played Diane Fossey in the 1988 film Gorillas In The Mist?

0:09:56 > 0:10:01Was it Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis or Sigourney Weaver?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04That was Sigourney Weaver.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07You're right. I get Susan Sarandon and Sigourney Weaver confused!

0:10:07 > 0:10:10How to tell them apart?

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Sigourney Weaver takes her clothes off more often in films.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16I never look!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18She's very good with aliens as well!

0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Who was the one in Alien? - Sigourney Weaver!- Aah, got it, OK.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23We were talking about Alien V as well! Yes!

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Alien V is coming, is it?- Yes! - You won't watch that...

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- you're too scared!- I've watched the Alien films because I love them!

0:10:29 > 0:10:31OK, Ian,

0:10:31 > 0:10:34don't be put off by this banter... it's only because they're scared!

0:10:34 > 0:10:38On which talent show did Les Dawson make his TV debut?

0:10:38 > 0:10:44Was it Opportunity Knocks, The Comedians or New Faces?

0:10:44 > 0:10:49Right. I've got to delve to the distant past on that one.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53I don't think it was Opportunity Knocks.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I would go for...

0:10:57 > 0:10:59The Comedians.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01That's the wrong answer...

0:11:01 > 0:11:05and it was Opportunity Knocks.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Oh, well!- So, Kevin, your chance to pull ahead.

0:11:09 > 0:11:14Which actor played Brock Lovett in the 1997 film Titanic

0:11:14 > 0:11:17and Jeff Tracy in Thunderbirds

0:11:17 > 0:11:24in 2004? Was it Bill Paxton, Jeff Daniels or Bill Pullman?

0:11:25 > 0:11:27That's a bit unfortunate...

0:11:27 > 0:11:30it's not Jeff Daniels, but it's a bit unfortunate.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33That last one, you were saying about Sigourney Weaver and Susan Sarandon,

0:11:33 > 0:11:36and I have the same sort of problem with the two Bills here...

0:11:36 > 0:11:37- Paxton and Pullman.- Do you?

0:11:37 > 0:11:42Yes, I do. Well, it's 50/50, so I'm gonna say Bill Paxton.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Just like with Sigourney Weaver and Susan Sarandon,

0:11:45 > 0:11:48as we were discussing, and you've chosen Paxton. You're right.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Bill Paxton is the correct answer.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54So, over to you, Ian.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56You need to get this question right or Kevin is through to the final

0:11:56 > 0:11:59and you are not.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02What was the name of Samantha Stevens' mother

0:12:02 > 0:12:05in the US TV sitcom, Bewitched?

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Was it Esmeralda, Endora

0:12:09 > 0:12:10or Tabitha?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Right.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Endora doesn't sound right at all to me.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Tabitha, I can't help but think of a cat.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23I'm gonna go for Esmeralda.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Endora was the correct answer.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Sorry, Ian, that's torn it, because there's no way back for you

0:12:30 > 0:12:33in this round, so you won't be in the final.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37Kevin, our Egghead, will - please, both of you, return to us.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42The Eggheads and the challengers have each lost one brain from the final round.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46The next subject is Food and Drink.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Who wants this? - It's one of us three.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53- If you don't want to do it.- No.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Nigel, who do you want to play against?- CJ.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59CJ, Food and Drink, because Food and Drink is normally the one

0:12:59 > 0:13:03to try Kevin on, but he's already done it, that's the trouble.

0:13:03 > 0:13:09OK, Nigel from the Twyning Players against CJ from the Eggheads.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Good luck to you, Nigel. You're a farmer?- Yes, I am.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Well, this is interesting! So you know quite a lot?

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Well, hopefully so, yes!

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Would you like the first or the second set of questions?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I would like the first set, please.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35Nigel, Provolone is a cheese from which country?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37France, Italy or Switzerland?

0:13:41 > 0:13:47The pronunciation to me is the clue and...

0:13:47 > 0:13:51it doesn't sound French, it doesn't sound Swiss to me...

0:13:51 > 0:13:53it sounds Italian.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Italian is the correct answer.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01CJ, what type of food is spelt?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Grain, Poultry or Cheese?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's a grain.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Why do you sound in pain?

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Is your chair at the wrong angle?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I'm never going to give you a confident answer

0:14:15 > 0:14:19in Food and Drink, but I think spelt is a grain.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Well, also because of your rule, always say cheese if in doubt,

0:14:21 > 0:14:24I thought you might be thrown off-course, but no, it is grain,

0:14:24 > 0:14:27you're right, well done.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Nigel, here's your next question.

0:14:29 > 0:14:35In South East Asian cookery, what is a laksa? L-A-K-S-A?

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Is it Pancake, Soup or Yoghurt Drink?

0:14:38 > 0:14:43I think I'll get rid of yoghurt drink first,

0:14:44 > 0:14:52and then I shall go to the middle and say soup.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Correct, it's soup.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59CJ, which dressing similar to tartar sauce consists of mayonnaise

0:14:59 > 0:15:02with herbs, mustard and capers?

0:15:02 > 0:15:07Is is Remoulade, Ravigote or Romesco?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Yeah, I think that's Remoulade.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13You're quite right, well done.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Nigel, the sparkling wine called Prosecco is made predominantly

0:15:17 > 0:15:22in which region of Northern Italy? Is it Liguria,

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Aosta Valley or Veneto?

0:15:25 > 0:15:28I'm going to discount...

0:15:30 > 0:15:32..the Aosta Valley,

0:15:32 > 0:15:37as I've travelled through it, and not seen a lot of vines.

0:15:40 > 0:15:45And Veneto as well, so I'm left with Liguria.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Why did Veneto go?

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Entirely at random.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54OK, because it was the right answer.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Sorry, you got that one wrong.

0:15:57 > 0:16:03CJ, galangal is closely related, and there's strong similarities in terms

0:16:03 > 0:16:07of its appearance and taste, to which other spice?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Ginger, Fenugreek or Liquorice?

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Spelt G-A-L-A-N-G-A-L.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Thanks, but that doesn't help!

0:16:18 > 0:16:21No idea, never heard of it, liquorice.

0:16:21 > 0:16:26Liquorice is wrong... it's ginger that galangal is like.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28So you're lodged at two each.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30That means it goes to sudden death.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34Nigel, Huntsman Cheese is made from layers of Double Gloucester

0:16:34 > 0:16:37and which other cheese?

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Huntsman Cheese?

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Double Gloucester?

0:16:46 > 0:16:50Leicester is a very good hunting county. I shall go to Red Leicester.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52No, it's Stilton, actually,

0:16:52 > 0:16:55which is between two layers of Double Gloucester

0:16:55 > 0:16:58to make Huntsman cheese.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00CJ, this one is for you.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01Get this, you've taken the round, you're in the final.

0:17:01 > 0:17:06Lord Lambourne is a type of which fruit?

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Well, it sounds like an English title, so let's go for something

0:17:13 > 0:17:18that grows naturally in this country, even though I've never heard of it.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22I dunno.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26It's a plum.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28It's an apple!

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Plum is wrong.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Nigel, which celebrated London restaurant was opened

0:17:36 > 0:17:42by the brothers Albert and Michelle Roux in 1967?

0:17:42 > 0:17:46Roux is spelt R-O-U-X.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48As a guess,

0:17:48 > 0:17:52which I am pretty certain is wrong, I would say The Ivy.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55I think The Ivy was a bit later.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58- It's Le Gavroche.- Yes.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Now you say it, I know.

0:18:00 > 0:18:06Over to you, CJ. Farfel are small pellet-shaped egg noodles eaten

0:18:06 > 0:18:11on the holy days of which religion?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Farfel is spelt F-A-R-F-E-L.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17- Judaism?- Judaism is right, CJ, well done, so you've pipped Nigel there

0:18:17 > 0:18:20and you are in the final, CJ.

0:18:20 > 0:18:26Nigel, you've been knocked out. I sense it would have been a precious part of your final playing team.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30Never mind. Please, both of you, come back to the studio.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36So as it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Last subject is Sport.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42- So which one of you wants Sport? - Not me, not me!

0:18:47 > 0:18:52I think I'll take Barry on.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55It's Rick from the Twyning Players against Barry from the Eggheads.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57To ensure there is no conferring,

0:18:57 > 0:19:00please take your positions in the question room.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05I'm going to ask each of you three questions on sport in turn and Rick,

0:19:05 > 0:19:06you can choose the first or second set.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10I think I'll go first as well, please, Jeremy.

0:19:12 > 0:19:16In 2005, Joel and Avram Glazer became

0:19:16 > 0:19:18the chairmen of which football team?

0:19:18 > 0:19:22Was it Chelsea, Manchester United or Manchester City?

0:19:22 > 0:19:27Well, it's not Chelsea, because that's the famous Russian gentleman.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33I don't think it's Manchester City.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35I think there was quite a lot of controversy when they were

0:19:35 > 0:19:39taking over Manchester United, so I'll plump for Manchester United.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43Quite right, it was. Well done.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47OK, your question, Barry. In cricket, what is signified

0:19:47 > 0:19:50when the umpire draws a square in the air with his fingers?

0:19:50 > 0:19:57- Wide, TV Replay or Leg Bye? - A square?

0:19:59 > 0:20:04Well, a square signifies to me a TV. I know it's not a wide and I'm pretty

0:20:04 > 0:20:06certain it's not a leg bye, so I think it must be a TV replay.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10And it is, well done.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14Back to you, Rick. In Rugby Union, what number

0:20:14 > 0:20:16is normally worn by the hooker?

0:20:16 > 0:20:19one, two or three?

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well, I follow Rugby Union.

0:20:22 > 0:20:27I'm a season ticket holder at Worcester Warriors,

0:20:27 > 0:20:32who are a relatively new Premiership side, and the hooker is in the middle

0:20:32 > 0:20:37of the front row, so I'll go for number two.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40And two is quite right.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Very handy knowledge.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44So, over to you, Barry.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48What is the name of the swimming technique created by David Berkoff,

0:20:48 > 0:20:53Daichi Suzuki and Jessie Vassallo and used to great success

0:20:53 > 0:21:00by Michael Phelps at the 2007 World Championships?

0:21:00 > 0:21:05Is it the Dolphin Kick, the Pincer Motion or Flipper Stroke?

0:21:05 > 0:21:09Well, the latest swimming stroke that I have any knowledge of was the

0:21:09 > 0:21:12dolphin kick, because they seemed to make a shape like a dolphin gliding

0:21:12 > 0:21:16through the water, so I have no information at all on pincer motion,

0:21:16 > 0:21:19which doesn't sound particularly likely, and although

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Flipper was a dolphin, I think the answer must be dolphin kick.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Dolphin kick is quite right.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26So they invented a new way of swimming, did they?

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Yes. It's a kind of undulating motion through the water.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Was that in a particular category,

0:21:31 > 0:21:33on the crawl or freestyle, or...?

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- It's mainly for butterfly. - Mainly for butterfly? OK.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39So, two each.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Rick, which nation won the most gold medals

0:21:41 > 0:21:44in Boxing at the 2004 Olympics?

0:21:44 > 0:21:45Was it the USA, Russia or Cuba?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Aaah!

0:21:49 > 0:21:56Well, Cuba have always been very strong in amateur boxing.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03I'm not sure of this one.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06USA or Russia?

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Mmm.

0:22:08 > 0:22:14I'm going to... For some reason I'm going to discount USA.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Cuba or Russia?

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Mmm.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I'll go for Russia.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29That's a shame because your Cuba thought was spot on,

0:22:29 > 0:22:31and it was Cuba.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35So that means that with this question Barry can take the round.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Barry, who was the oldest male tennis player

0:22:38 > 0:22:44to hold the ATP number one ranking at the age of 33 years and 13 days?

0:22:44 > 0:22:49Was it Ivan Lendl, Thomas Muster or Andre Agassi?

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Well, my immediate thought before the names came up was Andre Agassi,

0:22:52 > 0:22:56because I know he had a flourish right at the end of his career

0:22:56 > 0:23:01and I'm going to stick with that thought and go for Andre Agassi.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03You're quite right and you have taken the round with that, Barry,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06so well done. Rick, you were beaten by our Egghead.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09As a result, you won't be able to play in the final round.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15So, this is what we've been playing towards.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17It's time for our final round, which

0:23:17 > 0:23:19as always is General Knowledge, but I'm afraid those of you who

0:23:19 > 0:23:23lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round,

0:23:23 > 0:23:27so that's Rick, Nigel and Ian from the Twyning Players and

0:23:27 > 0:23:31Judith from the Eggheads, please would you now leave the studio?

0:23:33 > 0:23:38Patti and David, you are playing to win the Twyning Players £20,000.

0:23:38 > 0:23:39Chris, Barry, Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something

0:23:39 > 0:23:41which money can't buy...

0:23:41 > 0:23:44the Eggheads' reputation.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49This time the questions are all general knowledge

0:23:49 > 0:23:53and you are allowed to confer, OK, so Twyning Players, the question is,

0:23:53 > 0:23:55are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four,

0:23:55 > 0:24:01- and also, would you like to go first or second?- I think we'll go first, don't you?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03- We'll stick with first. - We'll stick with first, yes, please.

0:24:07 > 0:24:12What is the English translation of the Latin phrase "quid pro quo"?

0:24:12 > 0:24:18Is it Something for Something, For Ever and Ever, or And So It Is?

0:24:18 > 0:24:22What is the English translation of the Latin phrase "quid pro quo"?

0:24:22 > 0:24:26Quid pro quo. It's famous, it's a famous phrase.

0:24:26 > 0:24:33- I don't think it's "for ever and ever".- I'm drawn to "and so it is".

0:24:33 > 0:24:37- And so it is?- I would have thought "something for something" - quid...

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Oh, no! No it is that... I think it's "something for something".

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Quid pro quo, I think it might be "something for something".

0:24:43 > 0:24:46"Status quo" is the former state,

0:24:46 > 0:24:52isn't it, so do you think it's "something for something"?

0:24:52 > 0:24:53And so it is...

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Quid pro quo.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Something for something.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Something for something? I'm not sure about that.

0:25:01 > 0:25:06- Go for what you think, then. - For ever and ever.

0:25:06 > 0:25:11"Status quo" is the original state and state as it was before.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15- 'And so it is'?- Go on, then.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Yeah, go on, go for that one. - And so it is.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21I'm sorry, that's wrong. "Something for something".

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Sorry, Patti. Sorry, Patti.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Quid pro quo... something for something.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28OK, Eggheads,

0:25:28 > 0:25:33in which Irish county would you find the Giant's Causeway?

0:25:33 > 0:25:37- Is it Down, Tyrone or Antrim? - That's County Antrim.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Yeah, it's up on the north coast in Antrim.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43It is indeed in Antrim.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Dr Johnson said it was worth seeing, but not worth going to see!

0:25:47 > 0:25:48Oh, it's beautiful up there.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50With modern travel, it's fantastic!

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Beautiful coastline. So they're ahead.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55David, you're a GP, right?

0:25:55 > 0:26:00- I am.- Here's your question. The drug Paladrine which takes its name

0:26:00 > 0:26:05from the Latin for marsh is normally taken to combat which disease?

0:26:05 > 0:26:09Is it Tuberculosis, Typhoid or Malaria?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Go on, you must go for it. - It's malaria.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Yes, it is.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19- What a handy question! - You're very kind to me!

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Thank you, computer!

0:26:21 > 0:26:27Eggheads, which US author wrote the 1906 novel The Jungle -

0:26:27 > 0:26:29a damning indictment of capitalism,

0:26:29 > 0:26:32and in particular, the meat-packing industry?

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Was it Upton Sinclair, Jack London or Zane Grey?

0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Well, Upton Sinclair, we're agreed. - Who has read it?

0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Yeah, actually.- Two of you? - Many, many years ago.

0:26:52 > 0:26:53- It's a long time ago with me, too. - Well, remembered...

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Upton Sinclair is the right answer. He wrote The Jungle.

0:26:56 > 0:27:00So, we have £20,000 at stake.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04It's still there for you, you have to get this question right, though.

0:27:04 > 0:27:09Here we go. Edward Bernays - B-E-R-N-A-Y-S - is considered

0:27:09 > 0:27:13a founding father in which field?

0:27:13 > 0:27:18Economics, Public Relations or Linguistics?

0:27:18 > 0:27:20I haven't heard of him, have you?

0:27:20 > 0:27:23Bernays. Who was Bernays?

0:27:23 > 0:27:27Really, I don't know that, Patti,

0:27:27 > 0:27:29- at all.- Shall we eliminate...

0:27:29 > 0:27:32if we say eliminate one of them.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Public relations, do you think that's a bit of a...

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Bernays... Edward Bernays.

0:27:36 > 0:27:41Is there some sort of "Bernaysian", sort of...

0:27:43 > 0:27:45- doesn't sound like economics.- Well, I don't think it's public relations

0:27:45 > 0:27:49and you don't think it's economics, so shall we go for linguistics?

0:27:49 > 0:27:52- We might as well.- We might as well go for linguistics, please.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Linguistics is wrong. It's public relations.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Oh, never mind! - There's no way back in this final

0:28:00 > 0:28:06for our Twyning Players, which means the Eggheads, you have won.

0:28:09 > 0:28:14And it's coming naturally to them, this winning thing,

0:28:14 > 0:28:18especially since Barry joined! What's happening, Barry?

0:28:18 > 0:28:20I don't know! It's my colleagues on either side of me.

0:28:20 > 0:28:25So their winning streak continues and I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £20,000,

0:28:25 > 0:28:29which means that the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31Eggheads, many congratulations.

0:28:31 > 0:28:35Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if the new challengers

0:28:35 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat the Eggheads... £21,000 says they don't.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Till then, goodbye.
