0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

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

0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34You might recognise them as they are goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today are Bank On It.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42The team all work for the same bank in Sheffield and they've taken their

0:00:42 > 0:00:46name from the title of a health and safety video they used to watch.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Kelly.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'm 25 and I'm a bank manager.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Joel.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm 23 and I'm a banking adviser.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Chris.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01I'm 52 and I'm a bank manager.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Karen. I'm 36 and I'm a mortgage adviser.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm John. I'm 48 and I'm a district manager.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Welcome, Bank On It.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Kelly, tell us about this health and safety video.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14What exactly was its message?

0:01:14 > 0:01:20Erm, it's just one of those really old '80s videos that's a bit cheesy.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22It's about health and safety, about raids and things like that, so we

0:01:22 > 0:01:26used to have a laugh about it. Probably one day would save our lives

0:01:26 > 0:01:30but watching it every three months, it gets a bit repetitive, kind of thing.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- So it's not just about trip hazards?- Oh, no. - It's about proper armed robberies?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Oh, yeah. Everything.- Really?- Yeah. They'll have armed raiders

0:01:37 > 0:01:43coming in, then a line-up and you have to guess... well, know which one it is out of those.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Well, good luck to you. Let's see how you do.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, however, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, Bank On It, the Eggheads have won the last 23 games, which means

0:01:56 > 0:01:59£24,000 says you can't beat them.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Yeah. Mmm.- So it's worth being here.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Yeah.- The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of arts and books.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Challengers, which one of you wants this?

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Erm, you can do it, Karen.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Yeah, we've got faith in you, Karen. - I know nothing about arts really.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16You've got to do one, so you might as well get it out the way.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18- OK, then.- It's going to be Karen.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Now the tricky bit.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Barry, cos he might not know.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Yeah. Go on then. Might as well. The new one.- Barry.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Barry.- Right. There we are.

0:02:27 > 0:02:32Decision made. Karen from Bank On It against Barry from the Eggheads.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41So I'm going to ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on arts and books in turn

0:02:41 > 0:02:44and, Karen, you can choose the first or second set.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45I'll go first, please.

0:02:48 > 0:02:54Karen, good luck. Which of Shakespeare's sonnets begins "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day"?

0:02:59 > 0:03:04I have absolutely no idea. Erm...

0:03:06 > 0:03:10A good friend and team member said, "Go for the middle."

0:03:10 > 0:03:16So on that basis I will just go for the middle answer. Sonnet ten.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Sonnet ten. Do you know, team-mates,

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- whether she's right or wrong? - I think it's sonnet eight.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24- You think it's eight? - Chris thinks it's eight.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Eggheads?- 18.

0:03:26 > 0:03:2918 is the correct answer, Karen. Sorry.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33But going through the middle seems to work more often than it should, so it wasn't a bad tactic.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Barry, your first question.

0:03:35 > 0:03:41Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline and Mark Rothko were proponents of which school of art?

0:03:47 > 0:03:52Willem de Kooning did a wonderful series of paintings on women.

0:03:52 > 0:03:58But the style that de Kooning and Rothko used was Abstract Impressionism.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00So my answer is Abstract Impressionism.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03That is the correct answer. Well, done, Barry.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Your question, Karen.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10The Muggle-Wump, who appears in the Roald Dahl books The Twits

0:04:10 > 0:04:15and The Enormous Crocodile, takes the form of which creature?

0:04:18 > 0:04:23He likes rhyming things, so I would think it would be the one of them that begins with an M.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27So on that basis I will go for monkey.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Great. You got it right. Well done.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Barry, in which country was the writer Salman Rushdie born?

0:04:40 > 0:04:45I really should know this because I've read quite a lot of Salman Rushdie.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49I'm hoping I'm not going to make a complete fool of myself, but my answer is India.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51And your answer is right, Barry.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53So, Karen, you have to get this right, OK,

0:04:53 > 0:04:58or Barry has taken the round and he is in the final, not you.

0:04:58 > 0:05:03In February 1842, Charlotte and Emily Bronte moved to which city to study?

0:05:07 > 0:05:11I should know this, with them being Yorkshire-based

0:05:11 > 0:05:16and reading a lot when I was doing A level English.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Erm...

0:05:18 > 0:05:21I don't think it's Stuttgart.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Because the novels are quite romantic and things,

0:05:25 > 0:05:31I'm quite drawn to Turin, cos Brussels is not very glamorous, is it?

0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'm going to go with Turin.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36I follow the logic completely there. Turin is wrong though.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39It is Brussels, Karen. So bad luck.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Barry, you will play with your team, with the Eggheads,

0:05:43 > 0:05:48and Karen, sadly, you won't. Please both of you come back and rejoin us.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain

0:05:50 > 0:05:53from that final round. The Eggheads have lost no brains, but it's early.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- The next subject is science. Which of you would like science?- Oh!

0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Oh, a groan.- Kelly.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03- She's been studying her periodic table.- Wait! Let's talk about it first.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Let's talk about it. Kelly.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Accept it, Kelly.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Yeah.- No, I like science. It doesn't mean I know anything about it.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17- I'm going to assum... I think it is you, isn't it? - Unfortunately, it's me.- Against?

0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Erm.- CJ.- What do you think, John?

0:06:19 > 0:06:23- I think CJ. He looked down as though he were a bit worried. - Yeah, he's scared.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25No, that means he knows a lot.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- He's going, "No, don't pick me. Pick me.".- Take on CJ! - Yeah, yeah, go on.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31CJ.

0:06:31 > 0:06:36OK. Kelly from Bank On It against CJ from the Eggheads, please take

0:06:36 > 0:06:39your positions in the question room.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41OK, you want to go first or second?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's multiple-choice questions.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46I think I'll go with Karen and go first, please.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Which term refers to something that can be decomposed by bacteria

0:06:53 > 0:06:55or other living organisms?

0:07:00 > 0:07:05Right. Well, from just listening to the question...

0:07:05 > 0:07:11I have a little daughter and I'm trying to be more environmentally friendly.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14And I've been buying biodegradable nappies.

0:07:14 > 0:07:21So I know that biodegradable does mean it can be broken down.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22So biodiversity?

0:07:22 > 0:07:26No, cos that means diverse.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29No. I think it's biodegradable.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Absolutely right. Well, done, Kelly.

0:07:33 > 0:07:39CJ, tanning is a process used in the treatment of which material?

0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Don't wear it myself, but it's leather.- Quite right. It is leather.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Kelly,

0:07:48 > 0:07:52the most common soft solders for joining metals are normally

0:07:52 > 0:07:54alloys of lead and which other metal?

0:07:58 > 0:08:04Ooh, I was reading up yesterday on things that join together,

0:08:04 > 0:08:07like what coins are made of and things like that.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09But this wasn't one of the things I looked at.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11So let's have a look.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15See, I did do workshop at school and I did have to solder things,

0:08:15 > 0:08:19so you'd think I'd know. I'm going to go with aluminium, please.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Actually, it's tin.- Oh!

0:08:22 > 0:08:26CJ, which planet with an equatorial

0:08:26 > 0:08:33diameter of approximately 49,000km is very similar in size to Uranus?

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Well, Saturn and Jupiter

0:08:39 > 0:08:41are many, many times bigger.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Erm, both Uranus and Neptune are virtually identical, just like

0:08:44 > 0:08:47the Earth and Venus are almost twin planets, and it's Neptune.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52It is Neptune, you're quite right. So that means you

0:08:52 > 0:08:54need to get this one right, Karen.

0:08:54 > 0:09:00The prehistoric Dunkleosteus terrelli, which scientists discovered in 2006,

0:09:00 > 0:09:02had a very powerful bite,

0:09:02 > 0:09:04was what type of creature?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I really, really wish I went second

0:09:09 > 0:09:12because, believe it or not, this is my catchphrase.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16I knew both of CJ's answers, so I really wish I'd gone second.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Erm, I've always been told

0:09:18 > 0:09:22if you don't know the answer go for the middle, but fish, big bite...

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Erm...

0:09:25 > 0:09:28I know it's going to be wrong. I'm going to kick myself after,

0:09:28 > 0:09:31but I'm going to go with reptile, please, Jeremy.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35If you'd gone with the middle, you would've been right.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Oh!- Cos it's fish.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42- Ah!- Rubbish. - Oh, no, not rubbish at all.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Not rubbish. Tough questions.

0:09:43 > 0:09:48CJ, that means there's no way back for our banker, so well done.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51You're in the final for the Eggheads and, Kelly, you're not.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Please do come back and rejoin your team-mates.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59So the challengers have lost two brains from the final round. No need to be downcast, though.

0:09:59 > 0:10:04The Eggheads have lost no brains. The next subject is Sport.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Ah, they've got a plan on Sport, I can tell.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Not a very good plan! - So who's doing it?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Jo-el.- Jo-el. - Jo-el.- Jo-el.

0:10:12 > 0:10:17- No, Joel.- I called you Joel. - It is Joel. That's his Saturday name.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Jo-el.- Thank you.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Joel against?

0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Judith.- Judith, please.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Joel from Bank On It versus Judith from the Eggheads.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Please take your positions in the question room.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33OK, three questions on sport in turn.

0:10:33 > 0:10:38Joel, you can have the first or the second set of questions.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I would like to go first, please.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44OK, good luck.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47In which sport is cradling an essential skill?

0:10:52 > 0:10:56I can quite confidentially say that I haven't got a clue.

0:10:57 > 0:11:03Erm, I suppose discus, the action might be classed as cradling

0:11:03 > 0:11:05before you throw it, so...

0:11:05 > 0:11:08instincts go towards discus.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11I'd probably say discus, yes.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13- That's my answer. - OK. It's actually...

0:11:13 > 0:11:16You know in lacrosse you've got the net, that stick with the net in.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20I think the cradling is when you put the ball in that. Yeah, Judith.

0:11:20 > 0:11:21Judith is doing it now.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25Judith is cradling. So discus is wrong.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Judith, here's your first question.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Jose Mourinho signed as manager

0:11:30 > 0:11:34for which Italian football team in June 2008?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41I think that's Inter Milan.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43That's right. Well, done.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49Joel, what nationality is the tennis Gustavo Kuerten?

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Gustavo Kuerten? I don't think it's South African.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05I'm going to say Brazilian, I think, Gustavo Kuerten.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Chris the bank manager is pleased, because, Chris?

0:12:09 > 0:12:14- He's Brazilian.- He is Brazilian! Well, done.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Judith, your question.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19The water jump and which other jump at Aintree are only negotiated

0:12:19 > 0:12:21once during the Grand National?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28They go over Becher's Brook twice.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31I'm sure they go round the Canal Turn twice.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Erm, I think it's The Chair.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36The Chair is correct.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Phew!

0:12:39 > 0:12:42So we're where we were with Kelly now, Joel, which is that you've got

0:12:42 > 0:12:45to get this question right. Your question, Joel.

0:12:45 > 0:12:51For which Formula One team did Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima

0:12:51 > 0:12:54begin the 2008 season?

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Nico Rosberg?

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Er...

0:13:03 > 0:13:06I initially thought Williams.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Nico Rosberg.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Erm...

0:13:14 > 0:13:16I'll plump for Williams.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19- If you get this wrong, you're out of the final.- I know.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22But you got it right. Well, done.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26Your question, Judith, to take the round.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture

0:13:29 > 0:13:32are associated with which sport?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37How do you spell "Couture"?

0:13:37 > 0:13:40- As you expect... C, O, U, T, U, R, E.- Mm.

0:13:40 > 0:13:45I was reading about ultimate fighting the other day. I'm trying to see

0:13:45 > 0:13:48if I'm jogged, my memory's jogged.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's not, is the answer.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Erm...

0:13:52 > 0:13:55I think it might be cycling.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Is that your answer?- Yeah.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59Any Eggheads know? Chris, do you know?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02I think it's ultimate fighting.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Fighting is the answer, Judith. You got it wrong.- Oh, that is annoying.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07It must have been in that thing I was reading about it.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10So we go to sudden death, so it gets that bit harder.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11It's not multiple-choice.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Joel, you're first.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18Which Wimbledon goalkeeper faced allegations of match fixing

0:14:18 > 0:14:21alongside Bruce Grobbelaar and John Fashanu in 1997?

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm trying remember who the Wimbledon goalkeepers were.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Neil Sullivan. But I think that were a little bit...

0:14:29 > 0:14:33That's who David Beckham scored the goal from the halfway line against,

0:14:33 > 0:14:35against Wimbledon, Neil Sullivan.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37But the other one I can think of is Hans Segers.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40I think it's one of them two. Probably neither of 'em.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44Erm, I'll go for Hans Segers.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47And you're right. Hans Segers. Well done.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52Ah ha ha! So, Judith,

0:14:52 > 0:14:54you're on the precipice edge.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58In which sport might you be picked up by a sag wagon?

0:15:00 > 0:15:01Erm...

0:15:02 > 0:15:06I don't quite understand the question really.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09If you're injured or is it part of the sport?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'll explain when you give me the answer.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20- Erm, I don't know. Carriage driving. - Is that your answer?- Mm-hm.

0:15:20 > 0:15:25- The well-known sport of carriage driving.- It is a well-known sport. Prince Philip does it.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30- It's cycling.- Oh, cycling. - So what happens I think is the...

0:15:32 > 0:15:35When this question comes up again in a thousand years' time,

0:15:35 > 0:15:39- when the cyclists at the very back have had it and they're absolutely bushed...- Yes

0:15:39 > 0:15:43They will be packed into a wagon, along with their bicycles, I assume.

0:15:43 > 0:15:49- Yeah.- But, Judith, that means that you've lost the round. You're not in the final and Joel, our banker, is.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Well, done, Joel.- Hurrray-ay-ay!

0:15:52 > 0:15:57Good for you knowing Hans Segers. He probably won't be very pleased that you remembered his name.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Do come back and rejoin your teams.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round.

0:16:04 > 0:16:09The Eggheads have lost one brain - Judith. The last subject is Film And Television.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Oh, yes! - Things are turning up now for you.

0:16:11 > 0:16:12Yeah. Turned a corner now.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Is this you, Chris?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17- No.- No, no, no.- It's John. - It's John.- John.- John against?

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Chris.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21We don't even need to confer.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Pre-arranged.- So John for Bank On It against Chris from the Eggheads.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34I'll ask each of you three questions on Film And Television in turn.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39- John, would you like the first or second set of questions? - Erm, I'll go first.

0:16:43 > 0:16:49Here we go. In the TV series Friends which supermodel played Joey's room-mate Janine Lecroix?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I'm really not sure about this one.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02Erm, I'm going to go for...

0:17:02 > 0:17:06the middle one, Elle Macpherson.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Elle Macpherson's right. You got it. Well done.

0:17:11 > 0:17:17So it's the district manager who's got the good logic. Oh, poker player as well, aren't you?

0:17:17 > 0:17:21- I play a bit of poker, yes.- Right. Kept a straight face during that.

0:17:21 > 0:17:29Chris, Emily Bishop, played by Eileen Derbyshire, is a long-running character in which TV soap?

0:17:33 > 0:17:37Well, I remember when she was Miss Nugent working with Leonard Swindley at Gamma Garments.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40- It's Coronation Street. - That's the correct answer.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41Well, done.

0:17:43 > 0:17:44Your question then, John.

0:17:44 > 0:17:52Which actor played Paul, an unlucky tube train driver, in the 2008 British comedy film, Three And Out?

0:17:57 > 0:17:58Oh, I've not seen this film.

0:17:58 > 0:18:03I know it's about people throwing theirselves in front of trains,

0:18:03 > 0:18:05which I can understand at this moment.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Er...

0:18:07 > 0:18:12Oh, this is going to be a guess this one, unfortunately.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15I'm going to go for...

0:18:17 > 0:18:18..Mackenzie Crook.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Well, you got the right answer, John.

0:18:20 > 0:18:21It's Mackenzie Crook.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26- I knew that! - See, it's the poker that...

0:18:26 > 0:18:27Obviously poker

0:18:27 > 0:18:30is a good grounding for Eggheads. It must be. OK, Chris.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32He's chasing you hard here.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Chris, your question is as follows.

0:18:34 > 0:18:40The 1991 Roger Daltrey film Buddy's Song co-starred which one-hit wonder singer?

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Mm, interesting.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Er... Well, I think Lou Bega and Carl Douglas are both American

0:18:52 > 0:18:55and the film with Roger Daltrey in would be British.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58The British one-hit wonder there is Chesney Hawkes, son of Chip Hawkes.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00So I'll say Chesney Hawkes.

0:19:00 > 0:19:05Yeah, brilliant play. Well, done. It was Chesney Hawkes, Chris.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07So, two each after two questions.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Your third question to keep the pressure on him, John.

0:19:10 > 0:19:16What is the setting for the TV comedy series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22I enjoy comedies.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Can't say I've ever heard of this one.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Erm...

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Well, my auntie gave me some advice,

0:19:29 > 0:19:31saying if you don't go, always go for the middle.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35So if I'm wrong on this, you can blame me auntie. Is that OK?

0:19:35 > 0:19:37- OK.- I'm going to go for hospital.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Didn't work earlier with one of your team-mates,

0:19:42 > 0:19:44but it has worked for you now.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47What was your auntie's name?

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Auntie June.- Ah, Auntie June.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Get knocked out, Chris, if you get this one wrong.

0:19:53 > 0:19:59What is the first name of Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver in the Alien series of films?

0:20:05 > 0:20:10Well, as far as I knew she was always just referred to as Ripley, but, erm...

0:20:11 > 0:20:13She doesn't look like an Alice

0:20:13 > 0:20:17and she doesn't look like a Jane, but she does look like an Ellen,

0:20:17 > 0:20:19so 50-50, we'll go Ellen.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22I'll let CJ tell you whether you're right.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23He's absolutely right.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27You're right, Chris. CJ loves his... Is it all Alien films?

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Well, no, no, just that series.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Right, three each.

0:20:31 > 0:20:32We go to sudden death.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36Gets harder now cos it's not multiple choice, John, as you know.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Your question.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42Bob Hoskins, Ben Kingsley and Pauline Quirk all appeared in which

0:20:42 > 0:20:47TV courtroom drama series that aired in the afternoons?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Er, was it Crown Court?

0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Is that your answer?- Yes.- Correct.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Go on!

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Chris, if you get this wrong, you are not in the final.

0:21:00 > 0:21:06Which actor, born in 1936, appeared in the films Apocalypse Now, Speed and True Romance?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11It wasn't Martin Sheen, was it?

0:21:11 > 0:21:13- That's your answer?- Mm-hm.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16No, it wasn't, it was Dennis Hopper. So, well done, John!

0:21:18 > 0:21:21The bankers are starting to pull back here.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24John, you took on one of our Eggheads, you emerged triumphant.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28Good news for the challengers, cos you will play in today's final round.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Please both of you come back to us.

0:21:31 > 0:21:32So this is what we've been playing towards.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Time for our final round, which, as always, is general knowledge.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:21:39 > 0:21:41are going to be evicted from the studio.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44So that is Kelly and Karen from Bank On It.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47But also Chris and Judith from the Eggheads.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Would you please now leave us?

0:21:50 > 0:21:55Joel, Chris and John, you're playing to win Bank On It £24,000.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00CJ, Daphne and Barry, you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05This time the questions are all general knowledge.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08You are allowed to confer. Bank On It, the question is,

0:22:08 > 0:22:11are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Do you want the first or second set of questions?

0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Shall we go first?- First, yeah.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17We'd like to go first, please.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Here we go for £24,000.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Vendredi is the French word for which day of the week?

0:22:28 > 0:22:32Lundi, mercredi...

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Jeudi is Thursday.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37I think it's Friday, Vendredi.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39It is Friday.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42- OK.- We'll go for Friday.- Friday.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Oh, I'm feeling tense

0:22:44 > 0:22:46as you say that, but you're right.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Friday.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54OK, Eggheads, on which part of the body would mules be worn?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58- They're shoes.- Feet.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Yeah, yeah. Yes. On your feet, Jeremy.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Correct.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06One each. Back to you, Bank On It.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10What unusual name did the musician Frank Zappa give his daughter,

0:23:10 > 0:23:12born in 1967?

0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Geronimo sounds quite... - Call someone Moon Unit?

0:23:25 > 0:23:28You wouldn't call anybody Moon Unit, would you?

0:23:28 > 0:23:34- But where would they think of that answer from?- 67, Moon Unit, before the landings...

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Nah, I don't think so. Rufus Tiger?

0:23:37 > 0:23:41Rufus Tiger. Frank Zappa. Well, he was more of an American...

0:23:41 > 0:23:45He might have an Indian influence, I would have thought. American Indian.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47So Geronimo sounds the most logical.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Shall we go for Geronimo?

0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Geronimo?- Yeah. Geronimo.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Geronimo is your answer?

0:23:55 > 0:23:57They're in pain at the back there.

0:23:57 > 0:24:02It was Moon Unit. He called his daughter Moon Unit.

0:24:04 > 0:24:10OK, Eggheads, to take the advantage now, in which country was the US statesman Henry Kissinger born?

0:24:14 > 0:24:15He was definitely German.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Yes.- Definitely. - He was born in Germany.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Eggheads, you're right, it's Germany. So you have to

0:24:22 > 0:24:25get this question right to have any chance of winning the money.

0:24:25 > 0:24:32Considering by some to be one of the lost tribes of Israel and descended from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba,

0:24:32 > 0:24:36the Falashas are a Jewish group indigenous to which country?

0:24:46 > 0:24:50Well? Lost tribe? Ethiopia's mentioned in the Bible.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Ethiopia is a name in the Bible, isn't it?

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Yeah, but then they're mentioned in different terms, aren't they?

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Kenya or Saudi Arabia might be not known as what it's...

0:25:00 > 0:25:01- Yeah.- What it's known now.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Instinct says Ethiopia, but I don't know.- Ethiopia.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Go on then, Ethiopia. - We'll go for Ethiopia.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Ethiopia is your answer.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13If you get this wrong, you're out of the game, but you've got it right.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yes!

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Ah! Boom boom boom!

0:25:17 > 0:25:20OK, Eggheads, your question.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23If you get this right, you've won the contest.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Edward Tudor Pole, who presented the Crystal Maze,

0:25:27 > 0:25:29was briefly a member of which band?

0:25:35 > 0:25:39- I have absolutely no idea whatsoever. - I don't think it's the Sex Pistols.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41He's not old enough for them.

0:25:41 > 0:25:46- And The Clash?- You want them to be uncertain, guys, and they seem t be.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50If it was my choice to go for it, I'd go for The Stranglers.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yes. Well, you heard CJ's reasoning.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57I thought of The Stranglers when it came up,

0:25:57 > 0:26:01so, if we're wrong, we're wrong, but we're going for The Stranglers.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04- The Stranglers is wrong. It was the Sex Pistols.- Oh!

0:26:04 > 0:26:08So led astray by CJ there, much to your advantage, Bank On It.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12We're going to sudden death here and anything can happen.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Here's your question.

0:26:14 > 0:26:19The Mosquito Coast stretches from Honduras to which other country?

0:26:23 > 0:26:27I'm not sure if it covers Caribbean, you see.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30- El Salvador.- I'm sure...- Honduras...

0:26:30 > 0:26:34- El Salvador had a war in 1970, didn't they?- Were it on same coast?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36That's why I'm thinking that...

0:26:36 > 0:26:39They're on the same line, aren't they?

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Erm...

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Venezuela, I don't know. Just something springs to mind.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Venezuela. Mosquito...

0:26:46 > 0:26:49I'm just going on something at the back of me mind.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51- It might not be right at all. - Venezuela.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54- If you're going on El Salvador for that reason.- No.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57If there were a war, then it's more logical, in't it?

0:26:57 > 0:27:00They're joined together. I know they're joined together..

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Neighbouring countries?- Yeah. - Yeah, go for that.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05El Salvador. Yeah.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07I'm going to go for El Salvador.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Yeah, makes sense, doesn't it?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12- We're going for El Salvador. - El Salvador.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Your answer is El Salvador.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Eggheads, do you know the answer to this?- It's Nicaragua.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Spot on. It is Nicaragua. You got that wrong.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21Sorry, Bank On It,

0:27:21 > 0:27:24because that means that, Eggheads, if they

0:27:24 > 0:27:27get this question right, will take the contest and the money will go.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Eggheads, your question.

0:27:29 > 0:27:36In 1980, a siege in which country's embassy was ended when the SAS stormed the building?

0:27:36 > 0:27:39- It was the Iranian Embassy. - Iranian Embassy. - In London?- Yes.- Yeah.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42Isn't there one where? Is it Yvonne Fletcher?

0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Pardon.- WPC Yvonne Fletcher was shot outside...

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- No, no, no. - That's the Libyan Embassy.- Yes.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51- It's definitely the Iranian one. - The siege is the Iranian one.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55There was a policeman called Trevor somebody. Trevor...? I can't remember.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57But 1980 was the Iranian one, the siege.

0:27:57 > 0:28:02I remember watching it on television and it was the Iranian Embassy.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05So the country name?

0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Iran.- Iran?- Yes.

0:28:07 > 0:28:12Eggheads, congratulations, Iran is the right answer and you've won.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Commiserations to our challengers.

0:28:19 > 0:28:25A doughty performance by the bankers, but the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28Their winning streak continues and I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £24,000.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30I won't rub it in any more.

0:28:30 > 0:28:35And it means that that money rolls over to our next show, so, Eggheads, very well done again.

0:28:35 > 0:28:36Who will ever beat them?

0:28:36 > 0:28:43Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:43 > 0:28:47£25,000 will say they don't. Till then, goodbye.
