0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:33You might recognise them - they are goliaths in the world
0:00:33 > 0:00:35of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today are
0:00:39 > 0:00:43The Flame Academy. This team know each other through working together
0:00:43 > 0:00:47at the Fire Service College, in Moreton-in-Marsh. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm Phil. I'm 48. I'm a fire and rescue service officer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56I'm Gus. I'm 46 and I'm a fire and rescue service officer.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hello. I'm Helen.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01I'm 54 and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm Eric. I'm 50 and I'm a fire and rescue service officer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi. I'm Neil. I'm 43 and I'm a communications officer.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- So, welcome, Flame Academy. - Thank you.- And Phil,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15it's a fascinating place, cos it's the national training centre
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- for the fire service. - It is. Yeah.- And you have,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20out the back of the buildings,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23you've got stuff like a motorway and planes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25That's right. There's planes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27There's a jet aircraft.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29There's a concrete ship.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Trains. There's all sorts out there. - Just for you to practise on.- Yeah.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Cars that you have to saw people out of and that?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Yep. I think at any one time we've got about 500 cars on the area,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42to cut up and set fire to and practise on.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46And you've got a great quiz fact for us, which this lot will all be
0:01:46 > 0:01:50attuned to, which is that the bit of motorway - only about a quarter of
0:01:50 > 0:01:55- a mile that you practise on - it's got an official name.- Yeah. The M96.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Is it on maps?- Not sure, actually, if it is on the maps...
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- If anybody knows?- In the pub quiz, when someone says,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- what's the shortest motorway in Britain?- Yeah. The M96.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05- That's it.- Definitely.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Good luck, today.- Thank you.- Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:09 > 0:02:10up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money
0:02:13 > 0:02:16rolls over to the next show. So, Flame Academy,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18the Eggheads have actually won the last 21 games,
0:02:18 > 0:02:24which means £22,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26We're getting into serious money here.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Music.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Challengers, who wants Music?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Right.- I think the game plan... - I think the game plan was me.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Lead from the front. - What about sport, though?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Neil will take sport. - Neil?- Yeah.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Are you going to lead from the front, then?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Lead from the front.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48That's the trouble - not knowing which categories will come up.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49We did have a game plan,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and it's just, not quite blown out the water, but not far off.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- So, Phil against who?- Judith. - Judith'll be good at classical.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Classical music.- I just heard Judith make a note, then.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02You just went... ahhh...like that.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I thought it was a very high-pitched scream.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08The human ear could hardly hear it.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Judith.- Go for it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Judith, please.- Right. So, Phil,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15from The Flame Academy, against Judith, with the high-pitched note.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17The bat squeak of terror.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20It did sound like a little mouse.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Bat squeak.- To ensure there's
0:03:22 > 0:03:27no conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28- So, Phil, good luck.- Thank you.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Going to ask you each three multiple choice questions on music in turn -
0:03:33 > 0:03:36whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- And you can choose, Phil, first or second set?- First, please.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Here we go. Private Dancer and We Don't Need Another Hero
0:03:45 > 0:03:47were UK hit singles for which singer?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Well, it wasn't Michael Bolton, that's for certain.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59The first name that came in to my mind was Tina Turner.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So, I'll go for Tina Turner, please.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Correct answer. Well done.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Over to you, Judith.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Which part of Scotland provided
0:04:09 > 0:04:15the title for a UK number one hit single for Paul McCartney in 1977?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Oh, I think I might know that one.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Mull of Kintyre.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27You haven't heard his brilliant record, Gretna Green, then?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29No, I haven't. Don't tell me about it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Don't worry. You're right. One each.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35It was the best-selling single of all time in Britain, at the time.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Yes. It was a massive sell-out. It only had one note.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Until it was overtaken by Band Aid.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Really?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45OK, Phil. Who had a UK top-ten hit single
0:04:45 > 0:04:48in 2008, with Wearing My Rolex?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Oh, dear me.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Right. Modern music isn't my favourite, I must admit.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04So it will have to be a guess.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Wiley. Not sure.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Guess would be...
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Usher.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Usher's wrong. It was Wiley.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Very difficult.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Have you got an idea on that one?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- No.- None.- Poor old Wiley's watching and...devastated.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Judith, La Donna E Mobile is an aria from which Verdi opera?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Oh, dear. La Donna E Mobile.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I think it's Rigoletto.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49That's the correct answer. OK, Phil,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53you need to get this answer right to stay in the round.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And stay in the contest.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Ray Manzarek was the keyboard player for which American band?
0:06:07 > 0:06:12The Doors was quite keyboard, as was the Beach Boys.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Shot in the dark - The Doors was quite keyboard.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'm going to say The Doors, please.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Well done. You're right.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It was The Doors. Well done.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Smashing.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Judith, your question. You take the round with this if you get it right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Sonny Rollins is considered to be one of the great jazz
0:06:31 > 0:06:33innovators, on which instrument?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I'm trying to picture it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49I think, in my mind, he's playing a trumpet.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Is he?- Yeah. Is he not? - That's your answer?- Yeah.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58He'd be excited to hear that, cos his instrument was the saxophone.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- Oh, dear.- I think he won the Polar Prize, last year, which is
0:07:03 > 0:07:05like the Nobel Prize of music.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Right. For playing the saxophone?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Yes.- Or the trumpet. - No. The saxophone.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Well, we're equal, after three questions,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17which means we go to sudden death.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20It's a bit harder now cos they're not multiple choice.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21- OK?- Not too hard.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27Kylie Minogue released the macabre ballad Where The Wild Roses Grow,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30in collaboration with which singer?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I can hear the tune in my head.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Where The Wild Roses Grow.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I'll kick myself when you say the answer cos I'm trying to think...
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Male singer.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50No. I'm sorry.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- No?- No. Sorry.- OK. It was Nick Cave.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- No.- Written about a murder
0:07:58 > 0:08:02from the perspective of the victim and the perpetrator.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05The video to that song's actually really nice cos at the end
0:08:05 > 0:08:08it shows her floating down the river like Ophelia,
0:08:08 > 0:08:09from the pre-Raphaelite paintings.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Right. Judith, your question.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15If you get this right, you've taken the round.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19What was the name of the band leader Herb Alpert's accompanying
0:08:19 > 0:08:23orchestra, with whom he earned six Grammy Awards, 15 gold albums
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- and 14 platinum albums?- I think it was called The Tijuana Brass.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32You're absolutely right, Judith. Well done. You've taken the round
0:08:32 > 0:08:34with that sudden death question. Phil, you're beaten
0:08:34 > 0:08:37by our Egghead, so you can't play in the final round.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Please, both of you, come back to the studio.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one
0:08:43 > 0:08:46brain from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48The next subject is Politics.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Which challenger wants Politics?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I think we have a volunteer, don't we?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00We have a volunteer on politics. Yeah. He's actually volunteered.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01I think Neil, please.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Neil on politics. OK. Which Egghead?- Chris.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- What do you reckon?- Yeah.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Could be.- I don't mind.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13So it's Neil and Chris.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Neil and Chris, please. - OK. Neil, from Flame Academy.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Chris, from the Eggheads. Do please go to the question rooms now.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Chris, I reckon you like politics.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I'm a political animal, shall we say.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Yeah. Wouldn't say I know the minutiae too well.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Cos you play 22 in 120.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Fair enough.- Sorry, Neil.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I didn't mean to shock you with that statistic.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37At least I know what's coming, now. That's OK.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I'll ask each of you three questions on politics in turn
0:09:40 > 0:09:43and Neil, you can choose the set of questions.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'll have the second set of questions, please.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Maybe this will destabilise him.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Chris, for what does the letter P stand in the abbreviation PFI,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58an initiative set up to organise funding for
0:09:58 > 0:10:00the provision of public buildings?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- It's Private Funding Initiative, so it's private.- You're right.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Private Finance Initiative, actually, but not just buildings
0:10:10 > 0:10:14cos I guess as a former train driver, you probably had PFI coming
0:10:14 > 0:10:15in through your carriage windows.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- We don't talk about that. A sore point.- I didn't think you'd like it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- No.- OK. PFI. The P is Private.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Well done. First point to you, Chris. Your question then, Neil.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31In 2004, Simon Hughes became the president of which political party?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I'm pretty sure that's the Liberal Democrat Party.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41And you're pretty right. Well done.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Chris, in June 2008 a scheme was approved to introduce a congestion charge
0:10:49 > 0:10:52into which English city?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58It's not going down very well, either. It's in Manchester.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02It is in Manchester. You're right.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04OK, Neil, your question.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07At the 1992 Conservative Party Conference,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11which then Secretary of State adapted Gilbert and Sullivan's song
0:11:11 > 0:11:16I Have A Little List, to condemn those who unfairly claimed benefits?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I don't think it was William Waldegrave,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27so I'm torn between Peter Lilley and Michael Howard.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I can hear a voice in my head that sounds like Michael Howard.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Erm...I'm going to go with Michael Howard.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Michael Howard, you think.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Well, it was one of those funny things. He stood up at this
0:11:43 > 0:11:47conference and he actually sang half of his speech, which is why
0:11:47 > 0:11:48some people will remember it.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52And it was also somebody not really known for making a big
0:11:52 > 0:11:55splash in public. Peter Lilley...
0:11:55 > 0:11:59is the answer. So you're wrong. Chris, your third question.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02You get this right, you've taken the round.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Who did Winston Churchill say was
0:12:04 > 0:12:09"a modest man with much to be modest about"?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17"A modest little man with much to be modest about".
0:12:17 > 0:12:19It was Clement Attlee.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22It was, indeed.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Chris, you've won the round. There's no way back for you, Neil.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30You gave him the first question and therefore, he's taken all three and
0:12:30 > 0:12:34you got one wrong, so bad luck - you won't be in the final round.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Well, there's still a lot
0:12:39 > 0:12:42to play for. As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains
0:12:42 > 0:12:46from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47The next subject is Sport.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Who from the challengers?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51A gasp of excitement. Who wants sport?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Think it's yourself, Michael.- Yeah.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- It's Gus.- So who's doing it?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Gus.- Gus is doing it, against?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- CJ.- Gus, from the Flame Academy, against
0:13:07 > 0:13:10CJ, from the Eggheads on sport.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room, now.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I'll ask each of you three questions, multiple choice.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Gus, you can choose which set.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I'll go first, please.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Gus, in which country is Murrayfield Stadium?
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Yeah. I'm fairly sure Murrayfield is in Scotland.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38And you're right. Well done.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44CJ, the motor racing circuit Brands Hatch is in which English county?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52La la la la la.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56So, combining sport with English geography now, are you? Thanks.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Yep. Your two favourite subjects.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Hopefully, I can discount East Sussex.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Why is that? - Cos I used to live there.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10And I'm hoping it wasn't reasonably close to where I lived.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Right. If they hold motor races there, they need easy
0:14:13 > 0:14:17accessibility, so it needs to be more central, so it's Berkshire.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22The correct answer is Kent, CJ.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Gus, your question. Which former Welsh international
0:14:26 > 0:14:31became the manager of Manchester City Football Club in June 2008?
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Crikey. This must have slipped under the radar.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Ian Rush,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I'm fairly sure, hasn't been in management and I'm fairly
0:14:44 > 0:14:47sure he hasn't entered management.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Mark Hughes, as far as I knew, was the manager of Blackburn.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56There might have been something about him moving but I'm fairly sure
0:14:56 > 0:14:59it's not Phil Thompson, as well. So I'll have to say Mark Hughes.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02He's the only one I would suggest.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05You're right. It's Mark Hughes. Well done.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Over to you, CJ. In which sport did Englishman Imran Sherwani
0:15:12 > 0:15:16win a gold medal at the 1988 Olympic Games?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Wasn't '88 where
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Britain won the gold medal in hockey with, was it Sean Long?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I don't know the name, but the Indians are good at hockey and
0:15:31 > 0:15:34his name sounds Indian so I'll try field hockey.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Field hockey is the right answer. Well done, CJ.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44So challengers have two points, Eggheads on one, which means Gus,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47you get this one right, you will send CJ packing.
0:15:47 > 0:15:54In British greyhound racing, what colour is trap number six?
0:16:00 > 0:16:06I've only ever frequented a greyhound track once and I didn't really...
0:16:06 > 0:16:10take much notice of... I didn't even know they were fixed, if I'm honest.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- What, the races?- No!
0:16:12 > 0:16:16No. The colours of the traps.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I thought it might have changed.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23A pure guess, Jeremy. I'll go for black and white.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27It's amazing. Pure guess. Absolutely right. Well, done.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Good play.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31And obviously, I guess you've
0:16:31 > 0:16:35got some greyhound racing fans on your team because you knew.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- I've been a couple of times.- Right.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40And they've got definite colours wherever you go?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- I just remember black and white being number six.- OK.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Good enough for us. Gus, well done. You'll play in the final. CJ won't.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Please, both of you, come back to us.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the
0:16:52 > 0:16:57final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost one brain. The last subject now is Geography.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- Which challenger wants this? Helen or Eric?- It's up to you.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I'll do it if you really want me to. I always end up with...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05THEY CHATTER
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Phil, if Helen falls on her sword on this one,
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- it'll leave me for general knowledge. - I'm better for general knowledge.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Fall on your sword?- Oh, not again. - She's going to win!- Is it Helen?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18OK. I'll fall on my sword.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- All right. Getting heated. - But who's she going to play?
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- Daphne's brilliant at geography and so is Kevin.- Daphne or Kevin now.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Go for Kevin, I think.- Kevin?- Yeah.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31He's probably equally brilliant, but I know Daphne is.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33So, it's Helen, from the Flame Academy, versus
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Kevin, from the Eggheads. Please go to the question rooms, now.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41All right. Good luck on Geography. You are facing Kevin,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45which is obviously a slightly perilous position,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48but anything could happen. Three questions, multiple choice
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and you choose, Helen, the first or second set.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I'll go first, please.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Your first question. Ben Nevis is located in which mountain range?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Right. As geography is my worst subject,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I am going to take my time here.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I don't think it's the Cambrians, or the Pennines.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16So I'm pretty sure it must be Grampians.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17You didn't take that much time.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20You're right.
0:18:22 > 0:18:28Kevin, Morningside is a genteel suburb of which British city?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Supposed to have a posh Scottish accent, there. It's Edinburgh.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Quite right.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Back to you, Helen. What is the world's shallowest
0:18:42 > 0:18:44ocean, in terms of average depth?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Maybe working this out completely wrongly, but I think is
0:18:52 > 0:18:56the Mariana Trench one of the deepest and is that the Indian Ocean?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Arctic. Atlantic.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Atlantic would be pretty deep, I would think, because it's big.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Arctic has a lot of glaciers.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17I'm going to go Atlantic.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20You're wrong. It's Arctic.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23But your logic was taking you towards Arctic
0:19:23 > 0:19:25and then you kind of swerved away.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- I thought I was being too logical. - No. It was brilliant.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31You went one, two, three and then back to two.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Sorry about that. You got it wrong. Kevin, the Friesian Islands
0:19:34 > 0:19:36lie in which body of water?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45They're mostly off the Netherlands, although
0:19:45 > 0:19:49some are off Germany, as well, so they belong to the two countries.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51It's the North Sea.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Quite right. It is the North Sea.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55No messing around from Kevin, today.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Indeed, there usually isn't any messing around from Kevin.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01So, you need to get this right, Helen.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05If you don't, I'm afraid you won't play in the final round.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10In which country is the so-called great bend of the Nile located?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Again, it's going to be a guess.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Egypt seems...
0:20:20 > 0:20:21a bit too obvious.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27Sudan or Uganda seems totally unlikely, so on that premise,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'll go for Uganda.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Uganda seems totally unlikely, so you've gone for Uganda.
0:20:37 > 0:20:43OK. It's wrong. It was really, really unlikely and it is Sudan...
0:20:43 > 0:20:48which means, Helen, you were close to giving him
0:20:48 > 0:20:50a run for his money, but Kevin has won that.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Kevin will play in the final with the Eggheads.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57And I'm afraid the Flame Academy lose another team member from the final.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Do come back to us.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08But those of you who lost your head to heads won't take part in this.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13So that's Phil, Helen and Neil, from Flame Academy, will have to go.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17CJ, from the Eggheads, as well. Please leave the studio.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Let's just remind ourselves. We have a really big prize, now.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Gus and Eric, you are playing to win the Flame Academy £22,000.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Judith, Kevin, Daphne and Chris, you're playing for something
0:21:28 > 0:21:31money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38The questions are general knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42So, Flame Academy, the question is, are your two brains better than the
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Eggheads' one, two, three, four?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Do you want to go first? - We're going to work as a team.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50We're gonna do it my way, and we're gonna go first.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56First set of questions. Here we go for you and good luck.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00What type of dog is Lady in the Disney animation,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Lady And The Tramp?
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Lady And The Tramp. It's not a Dalmatian.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I don't think it's a peke - I seem to remember it's a cocker spaniel.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15I think that, as well. Yeah.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Remember the romantic scene eating the spaghetti?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- I do.- Right. I think we'll go cocker spaniel.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Yeah. Cocker spaniel.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Cocker spaniel is the correct answer.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Phew.- Well done.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33In the nursery rhyme, Eggheads, what does Little Jack Horner
0:22:33 > 0:22:36pull out of his Christmas pie?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Little Jack Horner sat in the corner, eating his Christmas pie.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Put in his thumb and pulled out a plum and said what a good boy am I.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50A plum.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54That is plum. Yes. I heard the word plum and you are right, Eggheads.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57One each. Back to you, Flames.
0:22:57 > 0:23:010151 is the dialling code of which British city?
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Oooh. 0151.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Well, I live 11 miles from Liverpool...
0:23:14 > 0:23:18and I'm fairly sure it's Liverpool.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23I think it's cos Manchester's 0161 and Liverpool's 0151 and
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I always get the two mixed up.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I'm just hoping I don't do that now.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I'm fairly sure it's Liverpool.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Well, yeah. You're a local boy, Gus. We'll go with you.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Liverpool.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Correct. Two out of two.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Eggheads,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45what is the literal translation of the title of the Spanish newspaper
0:23:45 > 0:23:47El Pais?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Could you spell Pais?
0:23:56 > 0:24:01- Country.- P-A-I-S. - The French is pays for country.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Must be pais. - Their world would be...
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Yeah, so country.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08That's country.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Your answer is correct. Flame Academy,
0:24:13 > 0:24:18which architect designed the Cenotaph War Memorial in Whitehall?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Any ideas?- Yeah. I think I have.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34They mention it every year on Remembrance Sunday
0:24:34 > 0:24:38when they do all their facts and figures and everything else.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Of the three, the only one I've even heard of was Lutyens.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Well, that's the one I think it is. Edwin Lutyens.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50OK.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Edwin Lutyens.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Is that your answer?- Yeah.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56You don't want to get this wrong...
0:24:58 > 0:25:03..but you're right. Really good play.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Eggheads, you need to get this question right.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12Which sport dating from the 17th century takes place on Dover Hill,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14in Gloucestershire, every year?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Oh, dear.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25The only one I know of as an actual sport, if you can call it that,
0:25:25 > 0:25:26is shin kicking.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30There's this thing called the Cotswold Olympics.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33And Dover Hill, I'm not sure if I've heard it
0:25:33 > 0:25:37described as Dover Hill, but there is a Dover Hill involved, somewhere.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42And shin kicking, I think, certainly forms part of the Cotswold Olympics.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Well, you're the only one with any idea.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Yes.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51We are going to go for shin kicking.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55OK. The correct answer is shin kicking.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Eggheads, you are still alive.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Flame Academy, we go to sudden death.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06These questions are hard cos they're not multiple choice. Here is yours.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Which river delineates most of Bulgaria's
0:26:09 > 0:26:11northern border with Romania?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Romania.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Is it the Volga? Is it?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Don't know, mate.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I'm thinking Eastern Europe...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Danube, Volga.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I was thinking Danube. Don't know about Volga.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Can't think of anything else.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Do you want to go with...?- Maybe.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37That's as good as we'll get.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Volga.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It's the Danube. You're wrong.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Maybe jumped a bit too quickly, there.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53We haven't got any shortage of time, here. You can think.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Eggheads, if you get this question right,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58they have lost their chance of the jackpot,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01the money and it's a lot of money.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Here is your question, Eggheads. In February 2008,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09which AC Milan footballer made his 1,000th competitive appearance
0:27:09 > 0:27:12as a professional?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15The only one I can...
0:27:15 > 0:27:17for that many...
0:27:17 > 0:27:19in terms of length of career and age,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22the only one I can come up with as Paolo Maldini.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I can't think of anybody else.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28It's too early, much too early, for Inzaghi.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's got to be Paolo.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I mean, he's still playing, it's gotta be Paolo Maldini,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I think.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43- You answer.- I think, a thousand games, it's a long career.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45And I think he's still playing.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I hope he's still playing.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Paolo Maldini.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52The thousand games include 126 Italian caps,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55one Olympic Games appearance,
0:27:55 > 0:28:0012 Italian under-21 team caps, 861 appearances for his club.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Only ever played for AC Milan. You're right. Paolo Maldini.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Commiserations, challengers.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17The Eggheads have done what comes naturally and their winning streak continues.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21You won't be going home with the £22,000,
0:28:21 > 0:28:25which means it rolls over to the next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Who will beat you?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if the new challengers
0:28:29 > 0:28:31have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33£23,000 says they don't.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Until then, goodbye.
