These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:09

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:16

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:20

Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers

0:00:230:00:26

pit their wits against

0:00:260:00:28

possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:280:00:30

You might recognise them, as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.

0:00:300:00:35

They are the Eggheads. Challenging our resident champions today

0:00:350:00:38

are the Innovators.

0:00:380:00:41

The team either work for innovative companies,

0:00:410:00:43

or are pioneering entrepreneurs,

0:00:430:00:45

all based in a specialist centre in Enfield. Let's meet them.

0:00:450:00:48

Hello, I'm Ian.

0:00:480:00:50

I'm 56, and a ventures incubator manager.

0:00:500:00:53

Hello, I'm Kevin. I'm 44, and I'm a business analyst.

0:00:530:00:57

Hi, I'm Kim. I'm 31 and I'm an IT professional.

0:00:570:01:01

Hello, I'm Jim. I'm 40 and I'm an IT project manager.

0:01:010:01:04

Hello, I'm Tony. I'm 51 and I'm a local government officer.

0:01:040:01:08

-Welcome, Innovators.

-Hello.

0:01:080:01:10

Lots of different professions and ideas,

0:01:100:01:14

you're busy the whole time, dreaming up new things. Is that right?

0:01:140:01:17

-That's about right, yes.

-So, what do you do?

0:01:170:01:20

I'm the incubator manager. I run a centre for new businesses,

0:01:200:01:25

where they start up, and develop their technology ideas,

0:01:250:01:28

and take them to the market.

0:01:280:01:30

Kim, you've got an idea that involves toys?

0:01:300:01:33

-That's right. Yeah.

-Can you tell us about it?

-It's secret at this stage!

0:01:330:01:37

-Does that mean you might not have an idea?

-No, the idea's definitely there, very much so!

0:01:370:01:42

When will we find out what the idea is?

0:01:420:01:44

18 months' time, I would say.

0:01:440:01:46

So you work together, building things up,

0:01:460:01:48

-then putting them onto the market...

-That's right.

0:01:480:01:51

There's a musical connection. You're a drummer, Kevin?

0:01:510:01:54

-I am, yup.

-And you've played quite high profile gigs?

0:01:540:01:58

-I have, yeah.

-Tell us.

0:01:580:02:00

I play in four bands, semi-professionally,

0:02:000:02:03

and travel around Europe and America.

0:02:030:02:07

-And you've supported The Strokes?

-Yeah, in New York.

0:02:070:02:11

You've also got a keyboard player, Tony?

0:02:110:02:14

Very poor one, yes. But, eh...!

0:02:140:02:16

Don't spoil it! It was going so well!

0:02:160:02:18

No, um... I tend to play stringed instruments.

0:02:180:02:23

Guitars, mainly.

0:02:230:02:25

I do play keyboards to a certain lesser extent.

0:02:250:02:28

So it's music, it's business, and it's toys, it's everything.

0:02:280:02:33

-You've got the lot covered.

-Nice melting pot.

0:02:330:02:35

Yeah! Let's see how you do.

0:02:350:02:36

Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:360:02:40

However, if they fail, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:400:02:44

The Eggheads have won the last two games,

0:02:440:02:47

which means £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.

0:02:470:02:51

First head to head battle is on the subject of Music.

0:02:510:02:55

Is there gonna be a fight over this?

0:02:550:02:57

-It's got to be you or me, hasn't it?

-Yup. What do you think?

0:02:570:03:00

-It's probably Tony.

-Do you want me to do it?

0:03:000:03:02

-OK, Tony.

-Tony on Music. Choose an Egghead.

0:03:020:03:06

I think Barry, or...

0:03:060:03:08

Probably Barry. He's the new one. Have a go at the new one.

0:03:080:03:11

-Yup.

-Good for you. Well done.

-Right.

0:03:110:03:14

-So, Tony?

-I'll play Barry, please.

0:03:140:03:16

On the basis that he's new, so might not be any good?

0:03:160:03:19

I'm following instructions!

0:03:190:03:22

OK. Tony against Barry, our newest Egghead.

0:03:220:03:25

To ensure no conferring, take your positions in the question room.

0:03:250:03:29

-Barry, are you musical? Tell us.

-Ah, I love listening to music.

0:03:300:03:35

I'm not particularly musical myself.

0:03:350:03:37

I once tried to learn piano, and my teacher advised me to give up,

0:03:370:03:41

because she said I was musically dyslexic.

0:03:410:03:44

Aaw, bad piano teacher!

0:03:440:03:45

I'm going to ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on music.

0:03:450:03:49

Whoever answers the most correctly is the winner.

0:03:490:03:53

He didn't learn the piano, Tony, you did.

0:03:530:03:55

-That may give you the edge.

-Well, let's hope so!

0:03:550:03:58

-Do you want the first or second set of questions?

-Second, please.

0:03:580:04:02

So your question, Barry.

0:04:060:04:08

What was the title of U2's 1987 Grammy Award winning album?

0:04:080:04:12

I actually enjoy U2 very much indeed,

0:04:180:04:21

so I know the answer is The Joshua Tree.

0:04:210:04:23

That's right. Joshua Tree it is. Over to you, Tony.

0:04:230:04:27

Hotel California was a 1977 UK top ten hit single for which group?

0:04:270:04:33

Well, this is played a lot on the radio stations that I listen to,

0:04:370:04:42

and it's The Eagles.

0:04:420:04:44

Quite right. I was listening to it just this morning.

0:04:460:04:49

Isn't that a coincidence? I had the whole thing on.

0:04:490:04:51

Seven minutes long, isn't it?

0:04:510:04:53

-I think it is six, seven minutes.

-Yeah, came as a shock.

0:04:530:04:56

Barry, which musical features the songs,

0:04:560:04:59

I Have A Dream, and Does Your Mother Know?

0:04:590:05:02

It's the absolutely wonderful Mamma Mia!

0:05:060:05:10

And I advise anyone who's not seen it yet to go as soon as possible!

0:05:100:05:14

You're right, and it's a great feel-good musical.

0:05:140:05:17

Two points to Barry. Back to you, Tony.

0:05:170:05:19

Which hip-hop group released the controversial album,

0:05:190:05:23

Straight Outta Compton?

0:05:230:05:25

Well, I don't know.

0:05:330:05:35

It would have to be a guess at...

0:05:370:05:41

NWA.

0:05:410:05:43

We should get this from Chris,

0:05:430:05:45

cos rap is your favourite thing, Chris.

0:05:450:05:48

Is he right?

0:05:480:05:49

-Would I know?!

-You were probably listening to it this morning.

0:05:490:05:53

-No way!

-No? Anyone?

-I'd have gone for that.

0:05:530:05:56

Tony, you're right. NWA is the right answer.

0:05:560:05:59

Now your question, Barry.

0:05:590:06:01

Unknown Pleasures was the title of the first album by which group?

0:06:010:06:05

Gosh!

0:06:100:06:12

The word "pleasure" doesn't seem to come to mind

0:06:120:06:15

when one thinks of The Smiths.

0:06:150:06:17

On that basis and nothing else alone, I shall discount them!

0:06:170:06:21

Unknown Pleasures seems to ring a bell with Joy Division.

0:06:210:06:26

So, I shall go for that.

0:06:260:06:27

It's amazing watching you guys. The way your brains work.

0:06:270:06:31

You're absolutely right. Spot on. Well done, Barry.

0:06:310:06:36

So, Tony, you need to get this answer right

0:06:360:06:39

to stay in with a chance of being in the final.

0:06:390:06:42

Here's your question. Rossini's opera La Cenerentola,

0:06:420:06:46

first performed in 1817, is based on which fairy tale?

0:06:460:06:50

Again, it would have to be a guess.

0:06:570:07:00

Can't see any clues in the name.

0:07:010:07:06

Think we'd have to go for...

0:07:090:07:12

Hansel and Gretel. That's the first one I dismissed,

0:07:120:07:15

so I'll go back to that.

0:07:150:07:17

-That's interesting. So you ruled it out, you ruled it back in.

-Yup.

0:07:170:07:21

Hansel and Gretel is the wrong answer, I'm afraid. It's Cinderella.

0:07:210:07:25

-What does Cenerentola mean?

-Cinderella.

0:07:280:07:30

-It just means Cinderella?

-It's a translation.

0:07:300:07:33

-Italian for Cinderella.

-One word beginning with a capital C, that's the clue?

-Exactly.

0:07:330:07:38

-C - Cinder, Ella.

-Cinder, it's ashes.

0:07:380:07:41

Yes, sitting in the ashes. Like she did.

0:07:410:07:45

-Goes back to the word "incinerate", if you think about it.

-Yes.

0:07:450:07:49

Well, Tony, sorry, you came close but Barry took the round.

0:07:490:07:53

Which means we'll see Barry in the final, not Tony.

0:07:530:07:57

Do please come back to the studio now.

0:07:570:07:59

As it stands the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:08:000:08:04

The Eggheads have lost no brains so far. Our next subject is Sport.

0:08:040:08:09

Who's the sportsman, or woman?

0:08:090:08:12

-Fancy that, Jim?

-I don't mind.

0:08:120:08:14

-Off you go, Kevin.

-Kevin, against which Egghead?

0:08:140:08:18

-I'm going to choose Daphne.

-Right. This could be fatal, you know that?

0:08:180:08:23

Kevin from the Innovators, against our Daphne, from the Eggheads.

0:08:230:08:27

Please take your positions in the question room.

0:08:270:08:30

Kevin, you seem to do almost everything.

0:08:310:08:34

Businessman and drummer,

0:08:340:08:37

-and you've been a clown...!

-Ha-ha!

0:08:370:08:40

Don't say that in front of millions, please!

0:08:400:08:44

You also got this skateboard thing going on.

0:08:440:08:46

-You came third in the UK skateboard championships, right?

-I did,

0:08:460:08:49

when I was 16, I was known as The Teenage Flyer, in my local area.

0:08:490:08:53

The tricks are a little different now.

0:08:530:08:55

It was, I suppose, innovative at the time.

0:08:550:08:58

Skateboarding's just started, so...

0:08:580:09:00

But, yeah, go upside-down, into the air,

0:09:000:09:03

and came third in UK championships at Guildford. Yeah, it was good.

0:09:030:09:07

I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Sport.

0:09:070:09:11

Kevin, would you like the first set of questions, or second?

0:09:110:09:14

I'll go second.

0:09:140:09:15

Daphne, first question. Where was athlete Colin Jackson born?

0:09:180:09:21

He's definitely Welsh.

0:09:250:09:28

-So, the answer's Wales.

-Wales is the answer.

0:09:280:09:31

Over to you, Kevin.

0:09:310:09:32

Which right-handed England cricketer hit two sixes, left-handed,

0:09:320:09:37

on his way to a century against New Zealand in June 2008?

0:09:370:09:41

Hmm. Tricky. It's not my hot subject.

0:09:450:09:48

But I'd go for Kevin Pietersen.

0:09:480:09:52

And you've got it completely right.

0:09:520:09:55

Daphne, in Olympic competition,

0:09:570:09:58

how many attempts does a pole-vaulter have

0:09:580:10:01

to clear the bar at each height?

0:10:010:10:03

Three.

0:10:060:10:08

-No hesitation at all?

-No.

0:10:080:10:10

You didn't think it might be four or two or...

0:10:100:10:12

No, no. It is three.

0:10:120:10:13

It is. You're right. Well done!

0:10:130:10:15

Back to you, Kevin.

0:10:150:10:17

Which football team was pelted with rotten fruit by angry fans

0:10:170:10:22

on their return home after losing to North Korea in the 1966 World Cup?

0:10:220:10:27

I was three at the time.

0:10:320:10:34

Hungary, they were good around that time.

0:10:340:10:39

Erm, Portugal? Eusebio...

0:10:390:10:43

I'm gonna say Italy, because they've...

0:10:450:10:48

because of their passion.

0:10:480:10:50

-Italy. You think they've got a history of fruit?

-Yeah!

0:10:500:10:54

Spot on. Well done, you got it right.

0:10:540:10:58

He's keeping up, Daphne!

0:10:580:11:00

Third question. See if you can get this one.

0:11:000:11:03

In June 2008, Tim Henman caused upset

0:11:030:11:06

when he claimed tennis players from which country were a bit "niffy"?

0:11:060:11:10

I've no idea! I haven't heard the quote.

0:11:140:11:17

Oh, dear.

0:11:170:11:19

Think about it.

0:11:210:11:23

Well, I have heard that the French

0:11:260:11:29

aren't very...erm, keen on soap and water.

0:11:290:11:34

So, I'll go for France. I really don't know!

0:11:340:11:38

Judith lives in France. Is that true?

0:11:390:11:42

I think they also love garlic.

0:11:420:11:44

Which is rather pungent.

0:11:440:11:47

So Henman could have said "niffy" about the French?

0:11:470:11:50

Yes, he could, frankly.

0:11:500:11:52

-Do you know, Innovators?

-I think it was the Czechs.

0:11:520:11:55

-We were leaning towards the Czech Republic.

-Yes, the Czechs, Daphne.

0:11:550:11:59

-Really? Lack of bathrooms!

-Good situation for you, Kevin.

0:11:590:12:03

Because you went second, you can take the round and be in the final,

0:12:030:12:07

if you get this right.

0:12:070:12:08

Which Dutch darts player is nicknamed The Matchstick,

0:12:080:12:11

on account of his slim appearance?

0:12:110:12:13

Really easy, these questions, aren't they(?) Hmm.

0:12:210:12:25

I'm going to go for Co Stompe.

0:12:260:12:30

Let's see whether Eggheads know?

0:12:300:12:32

-Who's The Matchstick?

-I'd have gone for Jelle Klaasen.

0:12:320:12:36

-You'd have gone for Jelle Klaasen?

-Because he's tiny.

0:12:360:12:39

Don't even know Rico Vonck, to be honest.

0:12:390:12:42

Not only have you got this question right, Kevin,

0:12:420:12:45

you got a question none of the Eggheads can answer.

0:12:450:12:48

Well done, you're in the final. So, you emerged triumphant.

0:12:480:12:52

That means Daphne will not be in the final.

0:12:520:12:55

It's good news for our challengers, the Innovators. Do come back to us.

0:12:550:12:59

-Kevin, well done.

-That was lucky!

0:13:000:13:04

Co Stompe, we won't forget!

0:13:040:13:07

The Dutch darts player known as The Matchstick, I think.

0:13:070:13:11

OK, the challengers have lost one brain from the final.

0:13:110:13:14

The Eggheads have also lost one. Next subject is Science.

0:13:140:13:17

Who wants Science?

0:13:170:13:20

That's definitely yours, I think, Jim.

0:13:200:13:22

Yup. I'll go for Science.

0:13:220:13:24

-You're the IT man, off you go. Good lad.

-Go for it, Jim.

0:13:240:13:28

-Name an Egghead.

-I'll go for the lovely Judith.

0:13:280:13:31

The lovely Judith on Science.

0:13:310:13:33

Jim from the Innovators, against Judith from the Eggheads.

0:13:330:13:36

To ensure there's no conferring,

0:13:360:13:39

take your positions in the question room.

0:13:390:13:41

OK, good luck in this round.

0:13:420:13:44

I'm going to ask each of you three questions,

0:13:440:13:46

and you can choose, Jim, first or second set.

0:13:460:13:50

I think I'll go for the first set.

0:13:500:13:52

Here's your first question.

0:13:550:13:57

What name is given to the balls of chemical pesticide

0:13:570:14:01

used to protect clothes in storage?

0:14:010:14:03

OK, I'm not going to beat about the bush too much on this one.

0:14:080:14:13

And I'll go for the mothballs.

0:14:130:14:15

-You are completely certain?

-I am, yes.

-I'm so relieved.

0:14:150:14:19

Mothballs is right.

0:14:190:14:20

Well done, you're off the blocks.

0:14:200:14:23

Judith, your question.

0:14:230:14:24

Despite his name, what type of creature is a jackrabbit?

0:14:240:14:27

I think, that is a...

0:14:310:14:33

an American term for a hare.

0:14:330:14:35

Well done, quite right.

0:14:350:14:38

Jim, your question.

0:14:380:14:40

In mathematics, what type of diagram

0:14:400:14:42

can be used to calculate probability?

0:14:420:14:44

Well, it's not a tree diagram.

0:14:490:14:52

So I can rule that out straightaway.

0:14:520:14:55

Um, I believe it's the Venn diagram.

0:14:550:15:00

I'll go for Venn.

0:15:000:15:02

If you had said that sentence the other way round,

0:15:020:15:05

it would have been right.

0:15:050:15:07

The Venn needed ruling out.

0:15:070:15:10

The tree is the correct answer.

0:15:100:15:12

So, we move over to Judith.

0:15:140:15:16

Which English physicist's most famous publication

0:15:160:15:21

is often known simply as The Principia?

0:15:210:15:23

That is Isaac Newton.

0:15:280:15:31

It is Isaac Newton. You are right.

0:15:310:15:34

Jim, you need to get this right,

0:15:340:15:36

or you will not be in the final.

0:15:360:15:38

Hyperhidrosis is the scientific term for the condition of excessive what?

0:15:380:15:43

It's going to be a guess on this one.

0:15:520:15:54

I'm leaning towards either...

0:15:570:16:00

Actually, I was looking at sweating and swallowing.

0:16:000:16:03

But the blushing is starting to stand out a bit more.

0:16:030:16:07

Hyperhidrosis...

0:16:070:16:09

I'll go for blushing.

0:16:100:16:12

It's a complete guess.

0:16:120:16:14

-OK.

-But I'll go for blushing.

0:16:140:16:17

Blushing is turned red. Let me ask your team mates. Is he right?

0:16:170:16:21

-Don't think so.

-You don't think so?

0:16:210:16:23

We're leaning towards sweating.

0:16:230:16:26

Yeah, they are leaning towards sweating.

0:16:260:16:29

And they would be right, Jim.

0:16:290:16:31

Sorry. No way back for you in this round.

0:16:310:16:33

You will not be in the final. Judith, you will be, on Science!

0:16:330:16:37

We should do some fireworks!

0:16:370:16:40

-It's not that bad, Jeremy. Don't exaggerate!

-No, it's not! OK.

0:16:400:16:43

-I know, but we've had our moments.

-We've had moments, yeah.

0:16:430:16:46

Jim, you were beaten by our Egghead. Please both come back to the studio.

0:16:460:16:50

-Ian, is the plan intact?

0:16:510:16:54

-Not bad.

-Well, you're in the final. You know that.

-Yes.

0:16:540:16:57

-You've got Kevin...

-We've got two. We'd like three.

0:16:570:17:00

You're on track.

0:17:000:17:02

As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains.

0:17:020:17:05

Eggheads have lost one. Last subject is Politics.

0:17:050:17:08

Who wants this, and against which Egghead?

0:17:080:17:11

-Go for it, Kim.

-Kim, you're fine!

0:17:110:17:13

-Politics!

-We all hate Politics.

-The prettiest one, for Politics.

0:17:130:17:19

-We're choosing Kim.

-Who against? Chris or Kevin.

0:17:190:17:22

I think I'll go for Kevin.

0:17:220:17:24

High risk strategy.

0:17:240:17:25

Kim, from the Innovators, against Kevin, from the Eggheads.

0:17:250:17:30

To ensure no conferring, take your positions.

0:17:300:17:33

Kim, you're another who combines business and music.

0:17:340:17:38

-That's correct.

-You write songs? You play guitar?

0:17:380:17:41

In my spare time, when I have any.

0:17:410:17:43

I have a little four-year-old boy, who keeps me busy!

0:17:430:17:46

Who listens to the songs? Or is it just you?

0:17:460:17:50

Selective, kind audiences!

0:17:500:17:52

Kevin, I have to tell you, has,

0:17:520:17:55

in the history of Eggheads,

0:17:550:17:58

has never lost a round in Politics.

0:17:580:18:01

Ha! Wonderful. And it's my best subject(!)

0:18:010:18:04

So, statistically, would the fact that you've never lost in Politics,

0:18:040:18:07

mean it is actually MORE likely that you will lose against Kim now?

0:18:070:18:11

Hmm, to get to the depths of that, you'd have to ask a statistician, wouldn't you?

0:18:110:18:15

-Do we need a Venn diagram or tree diagram for that?

-A tree.

-A tree, yeah, OK!

0:18:150:18:19

Three questions on Politics in turn. Multiple choice of course, Kim,

0:18:190:18:24

and you can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:18:240:18:27

I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:18:270:18:29

Good luck to you. Here we go. Which Conservative MP stood down,

0:18:320:18:36

in June 2008, in order to fight a by-election

0:18:360:18:40

on civil liberty issues?

0:18:400:18:42

Well, like I said, Politics not being my best subject,

0:18:480:18:53

erm...I'll go for Alan Duncan.

0:18:530:18:56

It's a complete guess.

0:18:560:18:59

And I'm afraid it's wrong. It was David Davis.

0:18:590:19:02

OK, Kevin, over to you.

0:19:030:19:05

What was the only European country to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty in 2008?

0:19:050:19:10

Can of worms, cat out of the bag, all of that. Ireland.

0:19:140:19:19

Ramifications still going on.

0:19:190:19:22

-Because the referendum result was?

-A No vote. Democracy in action.

0:19:220:19:26

Ireland is the correct answer. Back to you, Kim.

0:19:260:19:30

You can save it, don't worry.

0:19:300:19:32

Who was the first female Labour MP

0:19:320:19:34

to lead the House at Prime Minister's Questions?

0:19:340:19:38

None of those names are really that familiar to me.

0:19:450:19:49

But something's telling me Harriet Harman.

0:19:490:19:52

That's your answer?

0:19:550:19:57

-Mh-hmm.

-The something is quite right. It was Harriet Harman.

0:19:570:20:01

Good girl! Well done.

0:20:020:20:05

Back to you, Kevin. Which part of Theresa May's appearance prompted much comment

0:20:050:20:10

at the 2002 Conservative conference?

0:20:100:20:13

Well, it may have been other things, as well.

0:20:190:20:21

But I think it involved something that was of a leopard skin nature.

0:20:210:20:27

And I think it was her shoes.

0:20:270:20:30

-So, shoes.

-Yes, it was her shoes.

0:20:300:20:32

And I think it was leopard skin, you're right.

0:20:320:20:35

So, Kim, you need this right,

0:20:350:20:37

to have a chance of locking Kevin out of the final.

0:20:370:20:41

Which Liberal leader famously told his party conference

0:20:410:20:44

to go back to their constituencies and prepare for government?

0:20:440:20:47

Which Liberal leader famously told his party conference

0:20:520:20:55

to go back to their constituencies and prepare for government?

0:20:550:20:59

It's going to be another one of those hunches.

0:21:030:21:07

I'm going to go for Jo Grimmond.

0:21:070:21:09

It's not Jo Grimmond, actually. It's David Steel.

0:21:110:21:16

And took a lot of flak for it in the months and years that followed.

0:21:160:21:19

So, Kim, sorry. Good effort,

0:21:190:21:22

but become another of Kevin's Politics statistics.

0:21:220:21:27

Kevin, well done. You're in the final.

0:21:270:21:29

Sorry to say, Kim, you were beaten by our Egghead, so you won't be.

0:21:290:21:33

Please both of you rejoin your teams.

0:21:330:21:35

This is what we've been playing towards. Our final round, which is General Knowledge.

0:21:360:21:41

I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads

0:21:410:21:44

won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:21:440:21:47

So, Kim, Jim, and Tony from the Innovators,

0:21:470:21:49

and also Daphne, from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.

0:21:490:21:53

So, Ian and Kevin, you're playing to win the Innovators £3,000.

0:21:540:21:59

-Are you ready?

-As ready as we ever will be.

0:21:590:22:02

Slightly depleted, it has to be said, but...

0:22:020:22:04

The strategy was two, possibly three.

0:22:040:22:06

-So...

-OK, right, good.

0:22:060:22:08

So the business plan is intact?

0:22:080:22:09

-Yup.

-Kevin, Judith, Chris and Barry,

0:22:090:22:12

you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:120:22:16

As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:160:22:19

This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.

0:22:190:22:23

Innovators, the question is,

0:22:230:22:25

are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:250:22:27

-Ian and Kevin, do you want to go first or second?

-We'll go first.

0:22:270:22:31

Good luck, guys. According to the poem,

0:22:340:22:37

what was the little girl who had a little curl,

0:22:370:22:39

right in the middle of her forehead, when she was bad?

0:22:390:22:43

-I think she's probably horrid, don't you?

-Yup.

0:22:480:22:51

Nasty, ghastly or horrid.

0:22:510:22:53

I think horrid. Horrid rings well. I like horrid. Are you into horrid?

0:22:530:22:57

I'm into horrid.

0:22:570:22:58

It's a long time since my girl was very little. But she was horrid!

0:22:580:23:01

We'll go for horrid. Will we go for horrid?

0:23:010:23:03

-Can you think of the poem?

-Sort of, but not completely.

0:23:030:23:06

But the word "horrid" rings a bell.

0:23:060:23:08

-I'd go for that.

-Horrid it is.

-Horrid is your answer.

0:23:080:23:12

Can anyone complete the line?

0:23:120:23:14

There was a little girl, who had a little curl,

0:23:140:23:17

right in the middle of her forehead.

0:23:170:23:19

When she was good, she was very, very good.

0:23:190:23:20

-And when she was bad, she was horrid.

-Right answer, Innovators.

0:23:200:23:25

Well done. Horrid is right.

0:23:250:23:28

-You're good on your nursery rhymes, Judith.

-I know!

0:23:280:23:31

It's the only thing I can remember.

0:23:310:23:34

What is the name traditionally given to the set of rooms

0:23:340:23:36

used by barristers to meet their clients?

0:23:360:23:39

-Chambers.

-Chambers.

-Chambers.

0:23:420:23:45

Yup. We're all agreed, chambers.

0:23:450:23:47

And chambers is correct. Second question, Innovators.

0:23:470:23:51

Which designer, famous for her T-shirts bearing slogans such as,

0:23:510:23:56

Frankie Say Relax, was named Designer of the Year

0:23:560:24:00

by the British Fashion Council in 1984?

0:24:000:24:03

Hmm. T-shirts.

0:24:080:24:10

-Vivienne's been around for a long time.

-She's back to '77.

0:24:100:24:13

But would she... Could you repeat the first part of the question?

0:24:130:24:17

I'll do the whole thing. Which designer, famous for her T-shirts

0:24:170:24:21

bearing slogans such as Frankie Say Relax,

0:24:210:24:23

was named Designer of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 1984?

0:24:230:24:28

I think it's either Vivienne Westwood or Zandra Rhodes.

0:24:280:24:31

I'm not into T-shirts, especially ladies T-shirts.

0:24:310:24:35

We've got to go with Westwood.

0:24:350:24:36

Because I know she was establishing herself in '77,

0:24:360:24:39

with The Sex Pistols, etcetera.

0:24:390:24:40

-Yup, yup.

-Shall we go Vivienne Westwood, yup?

0:24:400:24:44

On the basis that that's the only one thing that comes to mind.

0:24:440:24:47

Katharine doesn't come to mind.

0:24:470:24:49

OK, we'll go with Vivienne.

0:24:490:24:51

-Vivienne Westwood.

-Vivienne Westwood is your answer.

0:24:510:24:54

-Why did you rule out Katharine Hamnett?

-Don't know.

0:24:540:24:57

Might have something to do with never hearing of her.

0:24:570:25:00

Because Vivienne, I guess, was more punky, wasn't she?

0:25:000:25:03

As you correctly said, 1977.

0:25:030:25:06

By 1984 it was Katharine Hamnett who was making those T-shirts.

0:25:060:25:09

-Ouch!

-We dropped that one, didn't we, chaps?

0:25:090:25:12

So, wrong answer from the Innovators

0:25:120:25:15

gives the Eggheads a way to take advantage. Your question.

0:25:150:25:18

Which town in Hampshire has hosted an air show since 1948?

0:25:180:25:23

The mind boggles at the thought of a Basingstoke air show.

0:25:270:25:30

It's Farnborough, where the Royal Aircraft Establishment

0:25:300:25:33

has all been since the First World War.

0:25:330:25:36

-Anyone been down there?

-Yeah.

-Good?

-Well, it's not far from me.

0:25:360:25:39

So, I've been to the Farnborough Air Show. It was great, yeah.

0:25:390:25:42

Farnborough's the right answer. Well done.

0:25:420:25:45

You need this question right, Innovators,

0:25:450:25:47

to have a chance of winning. If you get it wrong, the Eggheads have won.

0:25:470:25:51

From 402 to 476 AD,

0:25:510:25:54

which Italian city was capital of the Western Roman Empire?

0:25:540:25:59

Palermo, obviously, is in Sicily.

0:26:050:26:07

Palermo's in Sicily?

0:26:070:26:09

Yup. So, why would you have...

0:26:090:26:11

It was moved, for obvious reasons. And I think it was Rimini.

0:26:110:26:15

Yeah. Why would you have a capital city on an island,

0:26:150:26:18

off the main coast?

0:26:180:26:19

Well, because it had been taken over by the Visigoths, hadn't it?

0:26:190:26:23

And that lot.

0:26:230:26:24

Hmm.

0:26:240:26:26

But, I can't...

0:26:260:26:27

-I'm not sure whether it is... I don't think it's Palermo.

-You do?

0:26:270:26:31

-No, I don't think it is.

-No, I don't.

0:26:310:26:33

It's either Rimini or Ravenna. Probably Rimini.

0:26:330:26:35

Yeah, I'd go for Rimini.

0:26:350:26:37

We're not being very clever, are we? I must say.

0:26:370:26:40

-Ravenna.

-I seem to have heard it somewhere before. I don't...

0:26:400:26:44

I haven't heard Ravenna, at all.

0:26:440:26:46

-No.

-Rimini, I have.

-Yup.

0:26:460:26:47

But I don't know why.

0:26:470:26:48

And it might be because that's where the capital was moved to.

0:26:480:26:55

Hmm. Rimini?

0:26:550:26:58

-Are you sure?

-Well, why would Palermo...?

0:26:580:27:01

I don't think Palermo. Palermo doesn't ring a bell, at all.

0:27:010:27:04

-It's good to defend, but...

-Yeah.

0:27:040:27:06

-Been there.

-Why would you be away from your main populace?

0:27:060:27:10

Very nice cathedral next door. Yeah, exactly. Rimini.

0:27:100:27:12

-We're going for Rimini.

-Rimini's your answer.

0:27:120:27:15

-If you get this wrong, the game is over.

-It's the wrong one, isn't it?

0:27:150:27:18

I'm looking at your fellow contestants,

0:27:180:27:20

to see if they know the answer.

0:27:200:27:23

No, they don't. No, shaking their heads.

0:27:230:27:26

-It is wrong, it is wrong. Ravenna...

-Ravenna!

0:27:260:27:31

-..is the correct answer, Innovators.

-We took the wrong one, didn't we?

0:27:310:27:34

So, no way back in this round.

0:27:340:27:36

And as it's the final round, that means the Eggheads have won.

0:27:360:27:41

Commiserations, challengers.

0:27:450:27:47

-I know we didn't get the best out of you there.

-We tried.

-We did not, I'm sure.

0:27:470:27:51

-I should have gone second!

-We should have gone second!

0:27:510:27:54

The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:27:540:27:57

They still reign supreme over quiz land. Beaten a fascinating team,

0:27:570:28:01

of entrepreneurs/musicians, great people to have in the studio, thank you.

0:28:010:28:05

You won't be going home with the £3,000.

0:28:050:28:07

That money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:070:28:11

Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:110:28:15

have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:150:28:17

£4,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
