0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34You 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 > 0:00:39And taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are The Rank Outsiders. The team all work
0:00:42 > 0:00:46at Ascot racecourse for a trade organisation which represents
0:00:46 > 0:00:4959 racecourses around Britain. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm John. I'm 31 and I'm a promotions executive.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 29 and I'm a promotions co-ordinator.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Caroline. I'm 43 and I'm a services director.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Stephen.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I'm 50 and I'm a chief executive.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Lance.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I'm 51 and I'm an accountant.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Welcome, Rank Outsiders.- Thank you. - So, work at Ascot, John,
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- involves what? What do you do for all these racecourses? - We do a number of things.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Myself and Paul are involved in the promotion of racing,
0:01:21 > 0:01:26which partially includes the running of the racegoers' club. We're all involved
0:01:26 > 0:01:28in the promotion of British racing in general.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Do you find, as you get more and more into racing
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and watch more of it, Caroline, do you get luckier?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Well, certainly I don't. But I think that my colleagues
0:01:36 > 0:01:38here certainly have in the past.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44- Have you? Who's been lucky? - I had a good win, four or five years ago, at Cheltenham.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Unfortunately, I've never repeated the trick. I think it was a fluke.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49You'll have to tell us what the good win was.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51It was £28,000.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- On one horse? - On three horses, as a treble.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00OK. Well, let's see if you can do the treble now.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So, Rank Outsiders, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16which means £4,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Geography.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Challengers, which one of you wants this?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Lance?- I think, unfortunately, it was me, wasn't it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28You mean that earlier on, you thought, "OK, it's me on Geography"?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- No, we were hoping Geography didn't come up.- Oh, I see!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33But I was going to be sacrificed if it did.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- So, which Egghead? - I think the idea was Daphne.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Well, they've thought this through, haven't they? OK.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45So, it's Lance, from The Rank Outsiders, versus Daphne, from the Eggheads.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48The challengers sounding certain of themselves.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Good luck to you both. Three multiple-choice questions on Geography, in turn.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Lance, you can choose the first or second set.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I think I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So, over to you, Daphne.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09The River Taff flows through which British national park?
0:03:14 > 0:03:19Well, the only one of those that's in Wales is the Brecon Beacons.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22And so River Taff is Welsh.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24So, that's my answer...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Brecon Beacons.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29River Taff is Welsh, and you're right, Brecon Beacons
0:03:29 > 0:03:33is the park in question. Lance,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37the city of Newcastle Upon Tyne is located approximately eight miles
0:03:37 > 0:03:39from which body of water?
0:03:44 > 0:03:49I was in Newcastle earlier this year for a basketball final.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51And I'm fairly sure...
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Well, no, having said that, I'm not.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Well, it's not the Irish Sea - let's rule that one out.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Firth of Clyde
0:03:59 > 0:04:03wouldn't be totally impossible. But I think it's probably the North Sea.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I'll go for the North Sea.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08North Sea is correct. Well done.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10APPLAUSE
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Daphne, Lagos is a tourist resort in which European country?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Could you spell it?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20L-A-G-O-S.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- DAPHNE SIGHS - Well, it doesn't sound Italian.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27But that's nothing to go on, is it?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Seeing as I haven't heard of it, I'll try Portugal.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35It's Portugal, Daphne, well done.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Over to you, Lance.
0:04:37 > 0:04:43The Simplon Tunnel connects Italy with which other country?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Simplon is S-I-M-P-L-O-N.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52It's one of those questions where you hope you're going to recognise
0:04:52 > 0:04:54it when it comes up. And I didn't.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58I'm inclined to rule out Austria.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02And somehow I don't think it's the name of the tunnel
0:05:02 > 0:05:06that goes to Switzerland, so I'm going to have to go with France.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Yeah, the somehow bit was where it fell apart.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16Cos it is Switzerland and Italy - the Simplon Tunnel. Daphne,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19your question. If you get this right, you take the round.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22The Karakum Desert
0:05:22 > 0:05:26occupies over 70% of which central Asian country?
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Oh, dear.
0:05:34 > 0:05:3650-50 again.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- DAPHNE SIGHS - I don't think it's Azerbaijan.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48I'm... Kazakhstan's big, isn't it?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53No... Turkmenistan.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Yes, you're right.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59So, well done, Daphne. Lance, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02so you won't be in the final, I'm sorry to say.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Both of you please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round
0:06:11 > 0:06:16while the Eggheads have not lost any brains. Our next subject is Film And Television.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Which of you wants this? - That's going to be me.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- OK, the gambler versus...? - THEY LAUGH
0:06:22 > 0:06:24We'll try Chris, please, Jeremy.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Right. So, John, from The Rank Outsiders against Chris, from the Eggheads.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37So, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Film And Television.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40John, you can choose the first or second set.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48John, the comedian and broadcaster Cyril Fletcher
0:06:48 > 0:06:51regularly performed his Odd Odes on which television programme?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Right, I can't believe that it would be on Watchdog.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04I think that's a bit more of a serious consumer programme.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I also don't think it's likely
0:07:07 > 0:07:10to be Blue Peter because that's more of a kids' show.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It sounds like the sort of thing that would have gone on
0:07:13 > 0:07:17in That's Life, which I vaguely remember watching as a kid.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21But I don't remember the person that you've mentioned there.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25As I think that's the most likely answer, I'll plump for That's Life.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Yes, you're right. Well done, John. - Well done, John.- Chris...
0:07:29 > 0:07:34which actor is the nephew of the film director Francis Ford Coppola?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Well, Francis Ford Coppola's Italian-American,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48which would suggest Ray Liotta. But that's not the answer.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Neither is it Tom Cruise. But I have an inkling it's Nicolas Cage.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54DAPHNE SIGHS WITH RELIEF
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Yeah, your team-mates are relieved.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Is this a well-known quiz fact?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Yes, indeed.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- It's like Jon Voight's daughter is...?- Angelina Jolie.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07All that stuff... OK, so yes, Chris. Well done.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Your question, John.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Which 1966 film starring Terence Stamp and Monica Vitti
0:08:14 > 0:08:20was based on a cartoon strip that appeared in the London Evening Standard newspaper?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27It's a bit before my time, Jeremy,
0:08:27 > 0:08:33so I'm going to be completely guessing on this one, I think.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Blondie does ring a vague bell as being something
0:08:37 > 0:08:40that might have been a cartoon strip,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44whereas the other two just aren't ringing any bells with me at all.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49So, more in hope that expectation, I'm going to go for Blondie.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Wrong answer, I'm afraid. Modesty Blaise is the correct answer.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Chris, in 2008, Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher starred in a film
0:09:01 > 0:09:04entitled What Happens In...where?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Well, it's passed into vocabulary, hasn't it?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." So, it's Vegas.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17That's the correct answer.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19John, here's your next question.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Which Oscar-winning actress starred as the Flying Nun
0:09:23 > 0:09:25in the TV series of the same name?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Again, that's not something which I'm familiar with.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41I would probably rule out Ellen Burstyn. It sounds like it's more
0:09:41 > 0:09:46the sort of thing that would be akin to Sally Field or Diane Keaton.
0:09:46 > 0:09:54And it's a bit of a guess between the two. I will go for Sally Field.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56You're still in the game. Well done.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Sally Field.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Chris, you get this right, you've taken the round.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06The Lightning Tree, a hit for The Settlers in 1971,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08was the theme tune to which television show?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I remember this. It was Follyfoot.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- And you watched it every week?- No. - Chris, thank you, you're right.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22You've taken the round. John, you were beaten.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24It is tough out there. We know that. As a result,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27you won't be able to help your team in the final round, John.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Please, both of you, come back to the studio now.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains
0:10:34 > 0:10:38from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have not lost any brains.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Our next subject is Arts And Books.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43So, who'd like this and against who?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- I'm afraid that's me.- It's you, Paul, promotions co-ordinator.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- You can't have Chris or Daphne. - We'll try Judith.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Judith, Arts And Books...?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- I haven't played it this series. - I think people find you forbidding on Arts And Books.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Yes, I glare at them, when Arts And Books come up.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05So, it's Paul, from the Rank Outsiders, versus Judith, from the Eggheads.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Three questions, multiple choice. You can go first or second, Paul.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I think I'll go first, please.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Paul, here's your first question.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26Which painter spent the years 1746 to 1755 in England, where his views
0:11:26 > 0:11:30of London and English country houses were very popular?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I did say I'd do Arts And Books
0:11:37 > 0:11:40to the team, as long as an art question didn't come up.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- But, em... - THEY LAUGH
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I have a feeling that Canaletto
0:11:47 > 0:11:50liked to paint London.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54And so I think I'll try Canaletto.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Good for you, you're right. Well done.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59APPLAUSE
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Judith, the Heffalump is a creation of which writer?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It is AA Milne, in the Pooh books.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It is AA Milne, well done.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15One each. Paul,
0:12:15 > 0:12:20for what does the letter E stand in the name of the author EM Forster?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27I'm afraid I don't know.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I'm struggling to rule any of them out.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32It's going to be a blind guess, I'm afraid.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I'm going to try Eliot.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Eliot was wrong.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40It's Edward.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Edward. Tricky, those guys with their EMs
0:12:43 > 0:12:46and their WHs. How do you know answers like that, Judith?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50No-one ever says "Edward Forster". Are there ways of knowing?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53No, absolutely not. They say "EM".
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- No, but you often get asked what does it stand for. And it's "Edward Morgan".- TS Eliot.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Oh, the M stands for Morgan?- Yes. - TS Eliot was?- Thomas Stearns.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- AA Milne.- DH Lawrence.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- AA Milne?- Alan Alexander.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09OK. That's enough, anyway,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12because all of those... We're trying to work out
0:13:12 > 0:13:16the strategy, how you guys spend your days.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- It's so desperately sad! - THEY LAUGH
0:13:20 > 0:13:27Judith, which Italian playwright won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1934?
0:13:34 > 0:13:39I think it's between Pirandello and Dario Fo.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I don't... I don't know.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I don't know. Pirandello.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49The answer's correct, Judith. Well done.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- Phew!- OK, your question now. A third question for you, Paul.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Get this right, please,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58otherwise you, also, will not be in the final.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Which of Agatha Christie's books begins with the line,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04"Miss Jane Marple was sitting by her window"?
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Never read one of her novels, so this is not a good question for me!
0:14:17 > 0:14:22I'm going to guess again. I'm going to try The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23You got it wrong.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27The answer was The Mirror Crack'd, Paul.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- OK.- So, Judith, you've won the round, cos there's no way back for
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Paul at this point. Which means, Judith, you will be in the final.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Do both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43So, we have got Caroline and Stephen left in the challengers' team.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47But they have lost three brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost none at this point.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50The last subject is Sport.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Reaction?- I'll take that.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Stephen on Sport... against Barry or CJ?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59- Barry?- CJ.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Well, I know CJ desperately wants to play, so I'll go for CJ.
0:15:03 > 0:15:11Stephen, from the Rank Outsiders, versus CJ, from the Eggheads. Please go to the question rooms now.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16So, I will ask each of you three questions on Sport. Are you ready, Stephen?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- I am, I am.- You enjoy your sports?
0:15:18 > 0:15:22I do, yes. I'm a big fan of American football, for my sins.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27I've also got a note that says you've got 1,000 CDs or more. So you love your music?
0:15:27 > 0:15:28I do. I've had to give up CDs.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I now use an iPod,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33so that my partner doesn't know how many I've got now.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- So, I'm still keeping it quiet.- Good luck in this round.- Thank you.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I will take the first questions, please.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Stephen...
0:15:44 > 0:15:49which country won the first football World Cup in 1930?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Well, I think I know this.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Hungary I know, I believe, won the 1954 World Cup.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Um...but it was Uruguay, Jeremy, I believe.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06A classic quizzers' fact to know.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Well done. Uruguay's the answer.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11That would have stumped a lot of people.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Here we are, CJ. The ECB is the governing body
0:16:14 > 0:16:17for cricket in England and which other part of the British Isles?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I don't actually know this,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29but the county championship contains teams from both
0:16:29 > 0:16:32England and Wales. I don't think there are any
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Scottish or Northern Ireland teams in it, so I'll go for Wales.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Wales is the right answer, CJ. Well done.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Your question, Stephen.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46Magny-cours - M-A-G-N-Y, hyphen, C-O-U-R-S -
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Magny-cours is home to which country's Formula One Grand Prix?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Well, I'm going to eliminate Canada. I don't believe it's Canada.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02So I think it's between Belgium and France.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05And I'm afraid, I'm going to have to guess this.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'm going to go for Belgium.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10You got it wrong. It is France.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Bad luck.- C'est la vie. - C'est la vie.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14CJ...
0:17:14 > 0:17:18who was the first athlete to be 100 metres Olympic champion, world champion
0:17:18 > 0:17:21and world record holder, all at the same time?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Well, not Jesse Owens.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31He predates the world championships, I think.z
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I'm just trying to think if Donovan Bailey was Olympic champion.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I know he's been world champion.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40And Carl Lewis was certainly an Olympic champion.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42CJ SIGHS
0:17:43 > 0:17:48The obvious answer is Carl Lewis, but I'll go for Donovan Bailey.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52That's the wrong answer. It's Carl Lewis.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Stephen, your third question.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Before Rafael Nadal in June 2008
0:17:58 > 0:18:00who was the last tennis player to go directly
0:18:00 > 0:18:05from winning on clay, at the French Open, to winning on grass at Queen's a week later?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Well, I don't believe... It's going back a long way on there.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Although I did watch tennis in the '70s, I can't ever remember
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Stan Smith winning on clay.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I don't think Jimmy Connors favoured clay either.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27So I do not know, but I'm going to go
0:18:27 > 0:18:31for the great Romanian, Ilie Nastase.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Known as a bit of a clown in his time, but a great player.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- He was a great man. - You're right, it was Nastase.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40For someone who says he doesn't know tennis,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43that was impeccable logic.
0:18:43 > 0:18:49CJ, which horse was a surprise winner of the 2008 Oaks at Epsom?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Well, you know I do these lists of...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02winners of certain races. The only one there I recognise is Adored,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06so I'm hoping it's because it's in one of my lists. I'll go for Adored.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11The answer was Look Here, CJ,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14so you're wrong. And that means that
0:19:14 > 0:19:16our challenger has taken the round.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22Well done, Stephen. You took on one of the Eggheads and emerged triumphant. Good news for
0:19:22 > 0:19:25the challengers, because that means Stephen will be in the final round.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Congratulations. Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:38 > 0:19:43won't be allowed to take part in this round. So, John, Paul, and Lance from The Rank Outsiders,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46and CJ, from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Caroline and Stephen, you're playing to win The Rank Outsiders £4,000.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Eggheads, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:19:56 > 0:19:57your reputation. As usual,
0:19:57 > 0:20:02I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06You are allowed to confer. Rank Outsiders, the question is
0:20:06 > 0:20:10are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14So, Caroline and Stephen, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Well, I think we'll go first.- Yup.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Here we go.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26The administrative headquarters of which county are located in Aylesbury?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Well...- It's obviously, Aylesbury, Bucks, isn't it?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Well, my son lives in Buckinghamshire.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40I think you're right, Caroline. Let's go with Buckinghamshire.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Buckinghamshire.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44The answer's correct. Well done.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46You don't want to get that one wrong.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48So, over to you, Eggheads.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54Which member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer had a UK top ten hit single in 1975
0:20:54 > 0:20:56with I Believe In Father Christmas?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I've no idea whatsoever.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Have you got anything?- Greg Lake?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- It's only a guess.- Well, it was a name that came to mind.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17- Keith Emerson played the keyboard. - I'm not sure what Carl Palmer was.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Does that make him the singer? - I mean...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22when I saw the three, I thought, "Greg Lake".
0:21:22 > 0:21:25But I have no idea why I said it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29They did Fanfare For The Common Man. The Aaron Copland one, but...
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Did Greg Lake sing?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- I don't know. We don't know. - Why do you rule out Keith Emerson?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- CHRIS: He's a keyboard player. - Can't he sing as well?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I suppose so. Keyboard players sing... I don't know.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Think of Chas & Dave!
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Yeah! So, what are we going to go for? Greg Lake?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Greg Lake, all agreed? - Yeah, go on. We don't know.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I haven't a clue, so whatever you like.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59We're not really sure, Jeremy. But the consensus of opinion is that
0:21:59 > 0:22:02we go for Greg Lake. So Greg Lake it is.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- You're right. It was Greg Lake. - DAPHNE LAUGHS
0:22:06 > 0:22:08The next question
0:22:08 > 0:22:10is for The Rank Outsiders.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15A taffrail is a rail running around the rear part of what?
0:22:19 > 0:22:24- I don't think it's a church, is it? - I'm inclined towards ship.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- But with no good reason.- Do they have rails behind helicopters?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- You wouldn't have thought so. - I can't believe it's a church.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Which leaves helicopter and ship.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35And I can't...
0:22:35 > 0:22:39I just can't see a back rail on a helicopter. So, shall we go for ship?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- I think we'll go with ship. - We're going to go with ship.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Ship is your answer. It is the only one that
0:22:45 > 0:22:49you can visualise, isn't it? And it is the right answer.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Over to you, Eggheads.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56The Amanita phalloides mushroom, considered by many to be the world's most poisonous,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58is more commonly known by what name?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Death cap.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- It's death cap.- It must be deathcap.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Deadly nightshade isn't a mushroom.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12CHRIS: Destroying angel are edible, if they're properly prepared.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Yes, it smells like a mushroom and looks like a mushroom,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- and is deadly.- So, we're all sure on death cap?- Yeah, yeah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21We believe the answer is death cap.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25That is the right answer. It is death cap.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27OK, so it's two points apiece.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Rank Outsiders, which British field marshal of World War II
0:23:32 > 0:23:36was responsible for foiling the attempted Japanese invasion of India
0:23:36 > 0:23:42in 1944, before going on to rout the Japanese again in Burma?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54This is...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Well, I-I-I just don't know the name Slim at all.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- So, I'm going to park that for a minute.- OK.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Montgomery was obviously best known for North Africa.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Yeah, I was going to say... - And was a field marshal.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13I think it's between... So the question is, what did he do
0:24:13 > 0:24:17once he finished in North Africa?
0:24:17 > 0:24:23I think he went on to Northern Europe where he worked for Eisenhower.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- So...- By process of elimination. - Well, and...
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Would he have gone on to Asia as well?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Well, everything tells me it's Montgomery.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40But it just doesn't make sense that he could win in North Africa,
0:24:40 > 0:24:46in Europe, and then go over to Asia. So, we're going to go for Harding.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48You got it wrong.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50The correct answer is Slim.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Your question, Eggheads.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54You get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59What was the code name of the Flying Squad operation that foiled the armed robbery at
0:24:59 > 0:25:04the London Millennium Dome in 2000, where thieves were arrested trying
0:25:04 > 0:25:09to steal over £200 million worth of diamonds?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I remember reading about this.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Why would you go for Moonlight? - It just sounds right.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Yup. When they came up, I thought "Moonlight".
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Cos it's to do with diamonds...
0:25:28 > 0:25:31To do with light reflecting of the facets?
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Yes. And I don't...
0:25:32 > 0:25:35CHRIS: The actual diamonds were fakes anyway, so... Yeah.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37All right. Are we all agreed?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- It's a real "We're the Sweeney" style operation, yeah.- Yes, so...
0:25:40 > 0:25:43We're not 100% certain, but we think they're might be
0:25:43 > 0:25:46a link between moonlight and light reflecting off diamonds.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49So, we're going for Operation Moonlight.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51CJ in the background, are you exasperated or happy?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I'm wholeheartedly agreeing with that answer.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Good. It's wrong. The answer is Magician. So, the contest is
0:25:57 > 0:26:01still alive. Rank Outsiders, we move to Sudden Death.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Sudden Death... it's not multiple choice.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Here we go. They let you off the hook.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- They did, didn't they?- You need to press home the advantage.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Greed and The Wedding March
0:26:12 > 0:26:16are silent films made by which director and actor?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It could be Charlie Chaplin.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Yeah.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29There are only about three directors I know. There's...
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Charlie Chaplin, there's Harold Lloyd and there's Buster Keaton.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I think they all produced.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Yup.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43And, I mean, Harold Lloyd played it for laughs, really.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- I think Greed doesn't sound like Harold Lloyd.- No.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Buster Keaton... I think it's Chaplin. I think it's Chaplin. OK?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I'm happy to go with that.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56I think we're going to go for Charlie Chaplin, Jeremy.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- That's wrong. It's Erich von Stroheim... - I would never have got that.
0:27:00 > 0:27:06..forced out of Hollywood by his fanatical attention to detail, and need for complete artistic control.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08CHRIS: Running millions over budget.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Yeah, that as well.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Eggheads, you get this right, you have won the contest.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17The Continental Op
0:27:17 > 0:27:24is a fictional character created by which writer, born in 1894?
0:27:24 > 0:27:28He's one of the... It's...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- The Continental Op. - It's like Dashiell Hammett.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Do you think so?- I'm not sure. - Well, it's the right period.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Yeah.- He was an actual Pinkerton agent at the time as well.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39BARRY: We don't have anything else.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Right, we're going for Dashiell Hammett, Jeremy.
0:27:42 > 0:27:49You're going for Dashiell Hammett. You think that's the writer of The Continental Op fictional character.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Eggheads, you're right. It was Dashiell Hammett.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Well done, Daphne, in particular, picking that name out.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05And commiserations to our challengers.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Well-played, Stephen, Caroline, and the whole team back there.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. They still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I'm afraid, you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21which means that the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if
0:28:24 > 0:28:28a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30£5,000 says they don't.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Till then, goodbye.
