0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers

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

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

0:00:30 > 0:00:35You might recognise them, as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads. Challenging our resident champions today

0:00:38 > 0:00:41are the Innovators.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43The team either work for innovative companies,

0:00:43 > 0:00:45or are pioneering entrepreneurs,

0:00:45 > 0:00:48all based in a specialist centre in Enfield. Let's meet them.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Ian.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm 56, and a ventures incubator manager.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Kevin. I'm 44, and I'm a business analyst.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Kim. I'm 31 and I'm an IT professional.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Jim. I'm 40 and I'm an IT project manager.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hello, I'm Tony. I'm 51 and I'm a local government officer.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Welcome, Innovators.- Hello.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Lots of different professions and ideas,

0:01:14 > 0:01:17you're busy the whole time, dreaming up new things. Is that right?

0:01:17 > 0:01:20- That's about right, yes. - So, what do you do?

0:01:20 > 0:01:25I'm the incubator manager. I run a centre for new businesses,

0:01:25 > 0:01:28where they start up, and develop their technology ideas,

0:01:28 > 0:01:30and take them to the market.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Kim, you've got an idea that involves toys?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37- That's right. Yeah.- Can you tell us about it?- It's secret at this stage!

0:01:37 > 0:01:42- Does that mean you might not have an idea?- No, the idea's definitely there, very much so!

0:01:42 > 0:01:44When will we find out what the idea is?

0:01:44 > 0:01:4618 months' time, I would say.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48So you work together, building things up,

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- then putting them onto the market...- That's right.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54There's a musical connection. You're a drummer, Kevin?

0:01:54 > 0:01:58- I am, yup.- And you've played quite high profile gigs?

0:01:58 > 0:02:00- I have, yeah.- Tell us.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03I play in four bands, semi-professionally,

0:02:03 > 0:02:07and travel around Europe and America.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11- And you've supported The Strokes? - Yeah, in New York.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14You've also got a keyboard player, Tony?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Very poor one, yes. But, eh...!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Don't spoil it! It was going so well!

0:02:18 > 0:02:23No, um... I tend to play stringed instruments.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Guitars, mainly.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I do play keyboards to a certain lesser extent.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33So it's music, it's business, and it's toys, it's everything.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- You've got the lot covered. - Nice melting pot.

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Yeah! Let's see how you do.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44However, if they fail, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47The Eggheads have won the last two games,

0:02:47 > 0:02:51which means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55First head to head battle is on the subject of Music.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Is there gonna be a fight over this?

0:02:57 > 0:03:00- It's got to be you or me, hasn't it?- Yup. What do you think?

0:03:00 > 0:03:02- It's probably Tony. - Do you want me to do it?

0:03:02 > 0:03:06- OK, Tony.- Tony on Music. Choose an Egghead.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08I think Barry, or...

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Probably Barry. He's the new one. Have a go at the new one.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Yup.- Good for you. Well done.- Right.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16- So, Tony?- I'll play Barry, please.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19On the basis that he's new, so might not be any good?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22I'm following instructions!

0:03:22 > 0:03:25OK. Tony against Barry, our newest Egghead.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29To ensure no conferring, take your positions in the question room.

0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Barry, are you musical? Tell us. - Ah, I love listening to music.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37I'm not particularly musical myself.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41I once tried to learn piano, and my teacher advised me to give up,

0:03:41 > 0:03:44because she said I was musically dyslexic.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Aaw, bad piano teacher!

0:03:45 > 0:03:49I'm going to ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on music.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55He didn't learn the piano, Tony, you did.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- That may give you the edge. - Well, let's hope so!

0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Do you want the first or second set of questions?- Second, please.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08So your question, Barry.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12What was the title of U2's 1987 Grammy Award winning album?

0:04:18 > 0:04:21I actually enjoy U2 very much indeed,

0:04:21 > 0:04:23so I know the answer is The Joshua Tree.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27That's right. Joshua Tree it is. Over to you, Tony.

0:04:27 > 0:04:33Hotel California was a 1977 UK top ten hit single for which group?

0:04:37 > 0:04:42Well, this is played a lot on the radio stations that I listen to,

0:04:42 > 0:04:44and it's The Eagles.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Quite right. I was listening to it just this morning.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Isn't that a coincidence? I had the whole thing on.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Seven minutes long, isn't it?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- I think it is six, seven minutes. - Yeah, came as a shock.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Barry, which musical features the songs,

0:04:59 > 0:05:02I Have A Dream, and Does Your Mother Know?

0:05:06 > 0:05:10It's the absolutely wonderful Mamma Mia!

0:05:10 > 0:05:14And I advise anyone who's not seen it yet to go as soon as possible!

0:05:14 > 0:05:17You're right, and it's a great feel-good musical.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Two points to Barry. Back to you, Tony.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Which hip-hop group released the controversial album,

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Straight Outta Compton?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Well, I don't know.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41It would have to be a guess at...

0:05:41 > 0:05:43NWA.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45We should get this from Chris,

0:05:45 > 0:05:48cos rap is your favourite thing, Chris.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Is he right?

0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Would I know?!- You were probably listening to it this morning.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- No way!- No? Anyone? - I'd have gone for that.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Tony, you're right. NWA is the right answer.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Now your question, Barry.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05Unknown Pleasures was the title of the first album by which group?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Gosh!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15The word "pleasure" doesn't seem to come to mind

0:06:15 > 0:06:17when one thinks of The Smiths.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21On that basis and nothing else alone, I shall discount them!

0:06:21 > 0:06:26Unknown Pleasures seems to ring a bell with Joy Division.

0:06:26 > 0:06:27So, I shall go for that.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31It's amazing watching you guys. The way your brains work.

0:06:31 > 0:06:36You're absolutely right. Spot on. Well done, Barry.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39So, Tony, you need to get this answer right

0:06:39 > 0:06:42to stay in with a chance of being in the final.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46Here's your question. Rossini's opera La Cenerentola,

0:06:46 > 0:06:50first performed in 1817, is based on which fairy tale?

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Again, it would have to be a guess.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06Can't see any clues in the name.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Think we'd have to go for...

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Hansel and Gretel. That's the first one I dismissed,

0:07:15 > 0:07:17so I'll go back to that.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21- That's interesting. So you ruled it out, you ruled it back in.- Yup.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Hansel and Gretel is the wrong answer, I'm afraid. It's Cinderella.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30- What does Cenerentola mean? - Cinderella.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- It just means Cinderella? - It's a translation.

0:07:33 > 0:07:38- Italian for Cinderella.- One word beginning with a capital C, that's the clue?- Exactly.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- C - Cinder, Ella.- Cinder, it's ashes.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Yes, sitting in the ashes. Like she did.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Goes back to the word "incinerate", if you think about it.- Yes.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Well, Tony, sorry, you came close but Barry took the round.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57Which means we'll see Barry in the final, not Tony.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Do please come back to the studio now.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04As it stands the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:08:04 > 0:08:09The Eggheads have lost no brains so far. Our next subject is Sport.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Who's the sportsman, or woman?

0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Fancy that, Jim?- I don't mind.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Off you go, Kevin. - Kevin, against which Egghead?

0:08:18 > 0:08:23- I'm going to choose Daphne.- Right. This could be fatal, you know that?

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Kevin from the Innovators, against our Daphne, from the Eggheads.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Please take your positions in the question room.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Kevin, you seem to do almost everything.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Businessman and drummer,

0:08:37 > 0:08:40- and you've been a clown...!- Ha-ha!

0:08:40 > 0:08:44Don't say that in front of millions, please!

0:08:44 > 0:08:46You also got this skateboard thing going on.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- You came third in the UK skateboard championships, right?- I did,

0:08:49 > 0:08:53when I was 16, I was known as The Teenage Flyer, in my local area.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55The tricks are a little different now.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58It was, I suppose, innovative at the time.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Skateboarding's just started, so...

0:09:00 > 0:09:03But, yeah, go upside-down, into the air,

0:09:03 > 0:09:07and came third in UK championships at Guildford. Yeah, it was good.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Sport.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Kevin, would you like the first set of questions, or second?

0:09:14 > 0:09:15I'll go second.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Daphne, first question. Where was athlete Colin Jackson born?

0:09:25 > 0:09:28He's definitely Welsh.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31- So, the answer's Wales. - Wales is the answer.

0:09:31 > 0:09:32Over to you, Kevin.

0:09:32 > 0:09:37Which right-handed England cricketer hit two sixes, left-handed,

0:09:37 > 0:09:41on his way to a century against New Zealand in June 2008?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Hmm. Tricky. It's not my hot subject.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52But I'd go for Kevin Pietersen.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55And you've got it completely right.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Daphne, in Olympic competition,

0:09:58 > 0:10:01how many attempts does a pole-vaulter have

0:10:01 > 0:10:03to clear the bar at each height?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Three.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10- No hesitation at all?- No.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12You didn't think it might be four or two or...

0:10:12 > 0:10:13No, no. It is three.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15It is. You're right. Well done!

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Back to you, Kevin.

0:10:17 > 0:10:22Which football team was pelted with rotten fruit by angry fans

0:10:22 > 0:10:27on their return home after losing to North Korea in the 1966 World Cup?

0:10:32 > 0:10:34I was three at the time.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39Hungary, they were good around that time.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43Erm, Portugal? Eusebio...

0:10:45 > 0:10:48I'm gonna say Italy, because they've...

0:10:48 > 0:10:50because of their passion.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Italy. You think they've got a history of fruit?- Yeah!

0:10:54 > 0:10:58Spot on. Well done, you got it right.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00He's keeping up, Daphne!

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Third question. See if you can get this one.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06In June 2008, Tim Henman caused upset

0:11:06 > 0:11:10when he claimed tennis players from which country were a bit "niffy"?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17I've no idea! I haven't heard the quote.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Oh, dear.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Think about it.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Well, I have heard that the French

0:11:29 > 0:11:34aren't very...erm, keen on soap and water.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38So, I'll go for France. I really don't know!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Judith lives in France. Is that true?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44I think they also love garlic.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Which is rather pungent.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50So Henman could have said "niffy" about the French?

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Yes, he could, frankly.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Do you know, Innovators? - I think it was the Czechs.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- We were leaning towards the Czech Republic.- Yes, the Czechs, Daphne.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- Really? Lack of bathrooms! - Good situation for you, Kevin.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Because you went second, you can take the round and be in the final,

0:12:07 > 0:12:08if you get this right.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Which Dutch darts player is nicknamed The Matchstick,

0:12:11 > 0:12:13on account of his slim appearance?

0:12:21 > 0:12:25Really easy, these questions, aren't they(?) Hmm.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30I'm going to go for Co Stompe.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Let's see whether Eggheads know?

0:12:32 > 0:12:36- Who's The Matchstick? - I'd have gone for Jelle Klaasen.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- You'd have gone for Jelle Klaasen? - Because he's tiny.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Don't even know Rico Vonck, to be honest.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Not only have you got this question right, Kevin,

0:12:45 > 0:12:48you got a question none of the Eggheads can answer.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Well done, you're in the final. So, you emerged triumphant.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55That means Daphne will not be in the final.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59It's good news for our challengers, the Innovators. Do come back to us.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04- Kevin, well done.- That was lucky!

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Co Stompe, we won't forget!

0:13:07 > 0:13:11The Dutch darts player known as The Matchstick, I think.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14OK, the challengers have lost one brain from the final.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17The Eggheads have also lost one. Next subject is Science.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Who wants Science?

0:13:20 > 0:13:22That's definitely yours, I think, Jim.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Yup. I'll go for Science.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28- You're the IT man, off you go. Good lad.- Go for it, Jim.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Name an Egghead.- I'll go for the lovely Judith.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33The lovely Judith on Science.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Jim from the Innovators, against Judith from the Eggheads.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39To ensure there's no conferring,

0:13:39 > 0:13:41take your positions in the question room.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44OK, good luck in this round.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46I'm going to ask each of you three questions,

0:13:46 > 0:13:50and you can choose, Jim, first or second set.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52I think I'll go for the first set.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Here's your first question.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01What name is given to the balls of chemical pesticide

0:14:01 > 0:14:03used to protect clothes in storage?

0:14:08 > 0:14:13OK, I'm not going to beat about the bush too much on this one.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15And I'll go for the mothballs.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19- You are completely certain? - I am, yes.- I'm so relieved.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20Mothballs is right.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Well done, you're off the blocks.

0:14:23 > 0:14:24Judith, your question.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Despite his name, what type of creature is a jackrabbit?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33I think, that is a...

0:14:33 > 0:14:35an American term for a hare.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Well done, quite right.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Jim, your question.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42In mathematics, what type of diagram

0:14:42 > 0:14:44can be used to calculate probability?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Well, it's not a tree diagram.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55So I can rule that out straightaway.

0:14:55 > 0:15:00Um, I believe it's the Venn diagram.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02I'll go for Venn.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05If you had said that sentence the other way round,

0:15:05 > 0:15:07it would have been right.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10The Venn needed ruling out.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12The tree is the correct answer.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16So, we move over to Judith.

0:15:16 > 0:15:21Which English physicist's most famous publication

0:15:21 > 0:15:23is often known simply as The Principia?

0:15:28 > 0:15:31That is Isaac Newton.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34It is Isaac Newton. You are right.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Jim, you need to get this right,

0:15:36 > 0:15:38or you will not be in the final.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43Hyperhidrosis is the scientific term for the condition of excessive what?

0:15:52 > 0:15:54It's going to be a guess on this one.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00I'm leaning towards either...

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Actually, I was looking at sweating and swallowing.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07But the blushing is starting to stand out a bit more.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Hyperhidrosis...

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I'll go for blushing.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14It's a complete guess.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17- OK.- But I'll go for blushing.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21Blushing is turned red. Let me ask your team mates. Is he right?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Don't think so.- You don't think so?

0:16:23 > 0:16:26We're leaning towards sweating.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Yeah, they are leaning towards sweating.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31And they would be right, Jim.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Sorry. No way back for you in this round.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37You will not be in the final. Judith, you will be, on Science!

0:16:37 > 0:16:40We should do some fireworks!

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- It's not that bad, Jeremy. Don't exaggerate!- No, it's not! OK.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46- I know, but we've had our moments. - We've had moments, yeah.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50Jim, you were beaten by our Egghead. Please both come back to the studio.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Ian, is the plan intact?

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Not bad.- Well, you're in the final. You know that.- Yes.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00- You've got Kevin...- We've got two. We'd like three.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02You're on track.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Eggheads have lost one. Last subject is Politics.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Who wants this, and against which Egghead?

0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Go for it, Kim.- Kim, you're fine!

0:17:13 > 0:17:19- Politics!- We all hate Politics. - The prettiest one, for Politics.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- We're choosing Kim. - Who against? Chris or Kevin.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24I think I'll go for Kevin.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25High risk strategy.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30Kim, from the Innovators, against Kevin, from the Eggheads.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33To ensure no conferring, take your positions.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Kim, you're another who combines business and music.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- That's correct. - You write songs? You play guitar?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43In my spare time, when I have any.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46I have a little four-year-old boy, who keeps me busy!

0:17:46 > 0:17:50Who listens to the songs? Or is it just you?

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Selective, kind audiences!

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Kevin, I have to tell you, has,

0:17:55 > 0:17:58in the history of Eggheads,

0:17:58 > 0:18:01has never lost a round in Politics.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Ha! Wonderful. And it's my best subject(!)

0:18:04 > 0:18:07So, statistically, would the fact that you've never lost in Politics,

0:18:07 > 0:18:11mean it is actually MORE likely that you will lose against Kim now?

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Hmm, to get to the depths of that, you'd have to ask a statistician, wouldn't you?

0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Do we need a Venn diagram or tree diagram for that?- A tree.- A tree, yeah, OK!

0:18:19 > 0:18:24Three questions on Politics in turn. Multiple choice of course, Kim,

0:18:24 > 0:18:27and you can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36Good luck to you. Here we go. Which Conservative MP stood down,

0:18:36 > 0:18:40in June 2008, in order to fight a by-election

0:18:40 > 0:18:42on civil liberty issues?

0:18:48 > 0:18:53Well, like I said, Politics not being my best subject,

0:18:53 > 0:18:56erm...I'll go for Alan Duncan.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59It's a complete guess.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02And I'm afraid it's wrong. It was David Davis.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05OK, Kevin, over to you.

0:19:05 > 0:19:10What was the only European country to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty in 2008?

0:19:14 > 0:19:19Can of worms, cat out of the bag, all of that. Ireland.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Ramifications still going on.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Because the referendum result was? - A No vote. Democracy in action.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30Ireland is the correct answer. Back to you, Kim.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32You can save it, don't worry.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Who was the first female Labour MP

0:19:34 > 0:19:38to lead the House at Prime Minister's Questions?

0:19:45 > 0:19:49None of those names are really that familiar to me.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52But something's telling me Harriet Harman.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57That's your answer?

0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Mh-hmm.- The something is quite right. It was Harriet Harman.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Good girl! Well done.

0:20:05 > 0:20:10Back to you, Kevin. Which part of Theresa May's appearance prompted much comment

0:20:10 > 0:20:13at the 2002 Conservative conference?

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Well, it may have been other things, as well.

0:20:21 > 0:20:27But I think it involved something that was of a leopard skin nature.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30And I think it was her shoes.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32- So, shoes.- Yes, it was her shoes.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35And I think it was leopard skin, you're right.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37So, Kim, you need this right,

0:20:37 > 0:20:41to have a chance of locking Kevin out of the final.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Which Liberal leader famously told his party conference

0:20:44 > 0:20:47to go back to their constituencies and prepare for government?

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Which Liberal leader famously told his party conference

0:20:55 > 0:20:59to go back to their constituencies and prepare for government?

0:21:03 > 0:21:07It's going to be another one of those hunches.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09I'm going to go for Jo Grimmond.

0:21:11 > 0:21:16It's not Jo Grimmond, actually. It's David Steel.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19And took a lot of flak for it in the months and years that followed.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22So, Kim, sorry. Good effort,

0:21:22 > 0:21:27but become another of Kevin's Politics statistics.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Kevin, well done. You're in the final.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Sorry to say, Kim, you were beaten by our Egghead, so you won't be.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Please both of you rejoin your teams.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41This is what we've been playing towards. Our final round, which is General Knowledge.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads

0:21:44 > 0:21:47won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49So, Kim, Jim, and Tony from the Innovators,

0:21:49 > 0:21:53and also Daphne, from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59So, Ian and Kevin, you're playing to win the Innovators £3,000.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Are you ready? - As ready as we ever will be.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Slightly depleted, it has to be said, but...

0:22:04 > 0:22:06The strategy was two, possibly three.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- So...- OK, right, good.

0:22:08 > 0:22:09So the business plan is intact?

0:22:09 > 0:22:12- Yup.- Kevin, Judith, Chris and Barry,

0:22:12 > 0:22:16you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:19 > 0:22:23This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Innovators, the question is,

0:22:25 > 0:22:27are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:27 > 0:22:31- Ian and Kevin, do you want to go first or second?- We'll go first.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Good luck, guys. According to the poem,

0:22:37 > 0:22:39what was the little girl who had a little curl,

0:22:39 > 0:22:43right in the middle of her forehead, when she was bad?

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- I think she's probably horrid, don't you?- Yup.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Nasty, ghastly or horrid.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57I think horrid. Horrid rings well. I like horrid. Are you into horrid?

0:22:57 > 0:22:58I'm into horrid.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01It's a long time since my girl was very little. But she was horrid!

0:23:01 > 0:23:03We'll go for horrid. Will we go for horrid?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Can you think of the poem? - Sort of, but not completely.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08But the word "horrid" rings a bell.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12- I'd go for that.- Horrid it is. - Horrid is your answer.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Can anyone complete the line?

0:23:14 > 0:23:17There was a little girl, who had a little curl,

0:23:17 > 0:23:19right in the middle of her forehead.

0:23:19 > 0:23:20When she was good, she was very, very good.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25- And when she was bad, she was horrid.- Right answer, Innovators.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Well done. Horrid is right.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- You're good on your nursery rhymes, Judith.- I know!

0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's the only thing I can remember.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36What is the name traditionally given to the set of rooms

0:23:36 > 0:23:39used by barristers to meet their clients?

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Chambers.- Chambers.- Chambers.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Yup. We're all agreed, chambers.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51And chambers is correct. Second question, Innovators.

0:23:51 > 0:23:56Which designer, famous for her T-shirts bearing slogans such as,

0:23:56 > 0:24:00Frankie Say Relax, was named Designer of the Year

0:24:00 > 0:24:03by the British Fashion Council in 1984?

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Hmm. T-shirts.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Vivienne's been around for a long time.- She's back to '77.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17But would she... Could you repeat the first part of the question?

0:24:17 > 0:24:21I'll do the whole thing. Which designer, famous for her T-shirts

0:24:21 > 0:24:23bearing slogans such as Frankie Say Relax,

0:24:23 > 0:24:28was named Designer of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 1984?

0:24:28 > 0:24:31I think it's either Vivienne Westwood or Zandra Rhodes.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35I'm not into T-shirts, especially ladies T-shirts.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36We've got to go with Westwood.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Because I know she was establishing herself in '77,

0:24:39 > 0:24:40with The Sex Pistols, etcetera.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Yup, yup.- Shall we go Vivienne Westwood, yup?

0:24:44 > 0:24:47On the basis that that's the only one thing that comes to mind.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Katharine doesn't come to mind.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51OK, we'll go with Vivienne.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Vivienne Westwood. - Vivienne Westwood is your answer.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Why did you rule out Katharine Hamnett?- Don't know.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Might have something to do with never hearing of her.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Because Vivienne, I guess, was more punky, wasn't she?

0:25:03 > 0:25:06As you correctly said, 1977.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09By 1984 it was Katharine Hamnett who was making those T-shirts.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Ouch!- We dropped that one, didn't we, chaps?

0:25:12 > 0:25:15So, wrong answer from the Innovators

0:25:15 > 0:25:18gives the Eggheads a way to take advantage. Your question.

0:25:18 > 0:25:23Which town in Hampshire has hosted an air show since 1948?

0:25:27 > 0:25:30The mind boggles at the thought of a Basingstoke air show.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33It's Farnborough, where the Royal Aircraft Establishment

0:25:33 > 0:25:36has all been since the First World War.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Anyone been down there?- Yeah.- Good? - Well, it's not far from me.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42So, I've been to the Farnborough Air Show. It was great, yeah.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Farnborough's the right answer. Well done.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47You need this question right, Innovators,

0:25:47 > 0:25:51to have a chance of winning. If you get it wrong, the Eggheads have won.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54From 402 to 476 AD,

0:25:54 > 0:25:59which Italian city was capital of the Western Roman Empire?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Palermo, obviously, is in Sicily.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Palermo's in Sicily?

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Yup. So, why would you have...

0:26:11 > 0:26:15It was moved, for obvious reasons. And I think it was Rimini.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18Yeah. Why would you have a capital city on an island,

0:26:18 > 0:26:19off the main coast?

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Well, because it had been taken over by the Visigoths, hadn't it?

0:26:23 > 0:26:24And that lot.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Hmm.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27But, I can't...

0:26:27 > 0:26:31- I'm not sure whether it is... I don't think it's Palermo.- You do?

0:26:31 > 0:26:33- No, I don't think it is. - No, I don't.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35It's either Rimini or Ravenna. Probably Rimini.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Yeah, I'd go for Rimini.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40We're not being very clever, are we? I must say.

0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Ravenna.- I seem to have heard it somewhere before. I don't...

0:26:44 > 0:26:46I haven't heard Ravenna, at all.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47- No.- Rimini, I have.- Yup.

0:26:47 > 0:26:48But I don't know why.

0:26:48 > 0:26:55And it might be because that's where the capital was moved to.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Hmm. Rimini?

0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Are you sure? - Well, why would Palermo...?

0:27:01 > 0:27:04I don't think Palermo. Palermo doesn't ring a bell, at all.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06- It's good to defend, but...- Yeah.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Been there.- Why would you be away from your main populace?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12Very nice cathedral next door. Yeah, exactly. Rimini.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15- We're going for Rimini. - Rimini's your answer.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18- If you get this wrong, the game is over.- It's the wrong one, isn't it?

0:27:18 > 0:27:20I'm looking at your fellow contestants,

0:27:20 > 0:27:23to see if they know the answer.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26No, they don't. No, shaking their heads.

0:27:26 > 0:27:31- It is wrong, it is wrong. Ravenna...- Ravenna!

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- ..is the correct answer, Innovators. - We took the wrong one, didn't we?

0:27:34 > 0:27:36So, no way back in this round.

0:27:36 > 0:27:41And as it's the final round, that means the Eggheads have won.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Commiserations, challengers.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51- I know we didn't get the best out of you there.- We tried. - We did not, I'm sure.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54- I should have gone second! - We should have gone second!

0:27:54 > 0:27:57The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01They still reign supreme over quiz land. Beaten a fascinating team,

0:28:01 > 0:28:05of entrepreneurs/musicians, great people to have in the studio, thank you.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07You won't be going home with the £3,000.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11That money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:15 > 0:28:17have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20£4,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
