0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are The Bald and the Beautiful.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Team captain Rob has recruited his dad, good friend and two colleagues
0:00:46 > 0:00:50to take on the Eggheads, a group who he says enjoy the finer things in life:
0:00:50 > 0:00:54a pint of beer, a chat about football and a quiz.
0:00:54 > 0:01:00- Let's meet them.- Hi I'm Rob, I'm 52, I'm a senior compliance consultant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Gary, I'm 46 and I'm a warehouse supervisor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Bob, I'm 76 and I'm a retired warehouse supervisor.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Dennis, I'm 47 and I'm a compliance manager.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Hello, I'm Mark, I'm 53, I'm a compliance manager.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21You call yourselves the Bald and the Beautiful.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Do I ask why to that, or should it be obvious?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I'm searching for beauty, basically.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27So are we.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Everyone of us is beautiful to someone.- That's true.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33That's true. Tell us about what you do.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I work for the world's largest building society in Swindon
0:01:36 > 0:01:40and so do some of my colleagues, and my dad's in the team
0:01:40 > 0:01:42and Gary's a good friend of mine.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I've know him since we both had a lot of hair.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Good luck today.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Every day there is a £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56So, the Bald and the Beautiful,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59the Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03which means £6,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Challengers, which one of you wants this? Which Beautiful team player?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Who wants to take Film & Television?
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- You're more of an expert on film. - Yeah. I'll take that on, then.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- I'll take film and television. - Rob versus whom?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Who do we fancy to take this?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I think you should go for Chris.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Chris?- Yeah, why not? - Chris it is, then.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31So, the Bald and the Beautiful versus...
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Another bald and beautiful bloke. - ..Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I am going to ask you three multiple choice questions in turn,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48and you can choose Rob, the first or second set.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49I'll go second, please.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52So, Chris your question.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Which popular children's TV show ran for over 20 years
0:02:55 > 0:02:59and encouraged viewers to "switch off your television set
0:02:59 > 0:03:01"and go and do something less boring instead"?
0:03:05 > 0:03:10That was "Why Don't You switch off your television set", etc.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Yes, it was.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Rob your question, good luck.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16The cult 1970s cop drama The Sweeney
0:03:16 > 0:03:19gave rise to which popular catchphrase?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28The answer I was hoping for has come up but I will discount the others.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33"Who loves ya, baby?" was Telly Savalas, in Kojak.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36"Evenin' all" was Dixon of Dock Green.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37That leaves "You're nicked",
0:03:37 > 0:03:40which I believe the Regan character used to say.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41John Thaw's character.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'm gonna say "You're nicked".
0:03:43 > 0:03:46You're nicked is correct. Nice one.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Chris, here's your next question.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53The 2008 film The Edge of Love, with Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55is a biopic of which poet?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02That is Dylan Thomas.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Quite right, Dylan Thomas is correct.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Your question now, Rob.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11What is the profession of Guy Haynes,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13the character played by Farley Granger
0:04:13 > 0:04:15in the 1951 film Strangers on a Train?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22This is an Alfred Hitchcock film
0:04:22 > 0:04:26where the strangers on a train meet and effectively try to swap murder,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30and the Farley Granger character is involved in a match
0:04:30 > 0:04:33which takes a long time, which doesn't help him produce his alibi.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39He wasn't a show jumper or a golfer, he was a tennis player.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Tennis player is the correct answer. Well done.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Chris, in which decade was Colombo actor Peter Falk
0:04:47 > 0:04:50nominated for two Oscars?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58By the '70s he had his hands full with Colombo,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I don't think he did anything else.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05He served in the Korean War and lost his eye,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08which is why he has got a glass eye, that was in the '50s.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12By the time he got the sort of roles where he'd be nominated for an Oscar,
0:05:12 > 0:05:17I would guess that would be the 1960s. So I'll say the 1960s.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Your answer is correct, Chris.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Well done.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Rob, here's your next question.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Which holiday legend's acting advice was "Show up on time,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31"know your lines and don't bump into the other actors"?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I'm not quite so sure about this one.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I have an inkling it's Spencer Tracy,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45but I'm just trying to think if I can discount the others.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I can't think of a reason to discount Clark Gable or James Mason,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54so I'm going to go with my first instinct, Spencer Tracy.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Rob, you've got a lot of knowledge, you're quite right.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Well done. Three points each.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Strong play from our challengers. Chris back to you. Sudden Death now,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08so the questions are not multiple choice to make it that bit harder.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Which 1967 film starring Warren Beatty had the tag line
0:06:12 > 0:06:15"They are young, they are in love and they kill people"?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- That was Bonnie and Clyde. - Well done.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Back to you, Rob.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Which actor was born in Swaziland in 1957
0:06:23 > 0:06:25with the surname Esterhuysen?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Richard E. Grant.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Yes, you're right, no hesitation at all.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34His father was the last Minister for Education
0:06:34 > 0:06:37in Swaziland when it was a colony.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Chris, which character from the Fast show
0:06:41 > 0:06:46compared most situations in life to making love to a beautiful woman.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50That was Swiss Toni, the slightly dodgy car dealer.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Quite right.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55You guys are playing a storming round here.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Rob, for which 1973 Western, directed by Sam Peckinpah,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05did Bob Dylan write the largely instrumental sound track?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I wouldn't say that Westerns were my favourite film genre,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10particularly not at this moment.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I'm trying to think of a film with Susan George in it,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15which I think was a cowboy film.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20I think it was called Straw Dogs. That would be my guess, Straw Dogs.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Straw Dogs. Eggheads? - It was Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, Rob.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Oh, well. - He's just squeezed past you.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Great round, I'm sorry we're going to lose you from the final.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Chris, you will be in the final.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42The challengers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44the Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Our next subject is Science. Which of you wants Science?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Anyone but Rob.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52THEY CONFER
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- See if I can beat my son! - It's gonna be Bob.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Bob, who would you like to play against?- Judith.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Bob, from the Bald and Beautiful versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Bob multiple choice, as you know, and you can start
0:08:11 > 0:08:14by saying whether you want the first or second set.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I'll take the first, please.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Here's your first question. By what collective name are Jupiter, Saturn,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Uranus and Neptune sometimes known?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I don't think they are dwarf stars.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38I'm not sure about rocky planets, I'm going to go for gas giants.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Brilliant, Bob, you got it right.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52Judith, which food forms the sole diet of the basking shark?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00Basking sharks, I don't think are quite so carnivorous
0:09:00 > 0:09:01as the rest of them.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I don't think seaweed would get them very far.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09I don't think they eat seals. I think they eat plankton.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Plankton is right, well done.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Bob, your question.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15An arrhythmia
0:09:15 > 0:09:19is a variation in the normal function of which part of the body?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Well, I don't think the liver is dependent on a rhythm,
0:09:26 > 0:09:32and again the lungs are not really rhythmic things.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I am certain it must be the heart,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37which beats and therefore has a rhythm.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41That's the correct answer, well done, Bob.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Keeping the pressure on Judith and when it comes to Science,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Judith is vulnerable, as you may know.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Which metal takes its name from the Latin for rainbow?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Well, lithium is stone.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I'm not sure what indium is.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I think it's iridium.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05That's the correct answer, Judith.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Bob, here's your next question.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12The term meniscus refers to the curved surface of what?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18When you said "meniscus",
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I had a vision of a...
0:10:22 > 0:10:26..surface of water being raised in the middle
0:10:26 > 0:10:30which sounds a bit odd, but in fact it is liquid.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Yes, it is liquid, well done, Bob.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Three out of three on Science.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Excellent play from the Bald and Beautiful, and back to you, Judith.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Which hormone that regulates sleep
0:10:43 > 0:10:45is dubbed the Dracula hormone?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I have a feeling that's melatonin,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56because I know there was a fashion at one point
0:10:56 > 0:10:59for taking melatonin to cure jet lag.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03And to cure jet lag, you had to regulate your sleep,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05so I have a feeling it's melatonin.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08You're right, it is melatonin.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Bob, we go to Sudden Death now, it's not multiple choice any more.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16What is the name of the vascular organ in most mammals
0:11:16 > 0:11:19that attaches to the inside of the uterus
0:11:19 > 0:11:23and is connected to the foetus by the umbilical cord?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Placenta.- Correct.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Judith, what is the term for the chemical bonding process
0:11:37 > 0:11:40whereby a positively charged metal atom
0:11:40 > 0:11:46and a negatively charged non-metal atom are bonded
0:11:46 > 0:11:50by the strong electro-static forces of attraction between them?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53We've strayed into University Challenge now.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I enjoyed reading that.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00It's not covalency, is it?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Do you want me to take that as your answer?- Yes.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04It's definitely not covalency.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09So, what about that?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12The team are excited here. Ionic bonding.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I could have accepted an electrovalent bond,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18which I know was on the tip of your tongue, Judith, sorry.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Science defeats you. Bob, you will be in the final.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Do both of you come back and rejoin us in the studio.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28So, the challengers are doing well
0:12:28 > 0:12:31but they have lost one brain from the final.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32as have the Eggheads.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34The next subject is Geography.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Which challenger wants this and against which Egghead?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40THEY CONFER
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Mark's stepped up to the plate.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- Who do you want to take down, so to speak?- Go with Kevin?
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Mark from the Bald and the Beautiful against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Mark, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I'll go second, please.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08So, Kevin, to you.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10In which US city, Kevin, might you visit
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Bourbon Street in the famous French Quarter?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21That's one of the famous sights in New Orleans.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Or "New Or-luns", maybe I should say.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25New Orleans is right.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Over to you then, Mark.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30The ancient track called the Pilgrim's Way
0:13:30 > 0:13:32runs from Winchester to where?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Perhaps Salisbury is not far enough away.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Is it linked with Cambridge?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47A pure guess but I am going to go for Canterbury.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Good play, you are right.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Over to you, Kevin. the Bar Gate is a feature of which English city?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02That's not a million miles away from me, actually,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05about ten miles down the road. It's Southampton.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Southampton is correct, Kevin, well done.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Mark, here's your next question.
0:14:11 > 0:14:17The Lakshadweep Islands are a union territory of which country?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Could you spell those for me, Jeremy?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Yeah. L-A-K-S-H-A-D-W-E-E-P.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Looking at the spelling,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I think the first one I will discount is Thailand.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I'm not sure about India or Sri Lanka.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43So, I think my tendency is to go for...
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Sri Lanka, which is my answer.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Sri Lanka is your answer but it is wrong,
0:14:51 > 0:14:55it is India. You've let Kevin in. Third question, Kevin,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59if you get this right, you've taken the round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Which Italian city is sometimes referred to as La Grassa,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05or "the fat one"?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Right, I think...
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Yeah, I've never heard that term applied to either Rome or Naples,
0:15:19 > 0:15:25but Bologna is famous, well certainly by its own estimation,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28as the gastronomic capital of Italy,
0:15:28 > 0:15:34with quite a lot of rich dishes from the countryside round about.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36So, I think...
0:15:36 > 0:15:39that should be Bologna, I'll say Bologna.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44And you are right, Bologna is correct.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Eggheads, you take that round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Mark, I'm sorry, you were beaten by our Egghead
0:15:49 > 0:15:51and won't play in the final round.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Please both of you come back to us.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58So, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02the Eggheads have lost one brain. Our last subject is Sport.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Who wants sport, Dennis or Gary?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Both very sporting physiques, as you can see,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10but Dennis has just shaded it, we think.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Dennis from the Bald and the Beautiful,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15who do you want to take on?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Barry or CJ?- CJ.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21So, it's Dennis from the Bald and the Beautiful
0:16:21 > 0:16:24versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Not bald and very beautiful, right, CJ?- Yeah, delighted about sport.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31And loves his sport, you've picked the right guy.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Dennis, do you want the first or second set of questions?
0:16:39 > 0:16:40First, please.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Here we go.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48How is the optimum hitting area on a tennis racket informally known?
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Right, OK, I would say that tennis isn't my strongest sport,
0:16:58 > 0:17:04but I can't imagine we would call it the cute area or the nice point,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06so I would go for the sweet spot.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Sweet spot is right, first point to you.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14CJ, what command is given to boxers by the referee
0:17:14 > 0:17:18to separate them from a clinch?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It's not "part".
0:17:23 > 0:17:25When you asked this question,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28the first thing that came into my mind was "split", but...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30No, I think it's "break".
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Now that the options have come up, I think it's "break".
0:17:35 > 0:17:36You've chosen "break".
0:17:36 > 0:17:40They bark it constantly but it's easy not to remember what the word is,
0:17:40 > 0:17:44but you're right, "break" is what the referee shouts at the boxers.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Back to you, Dennis. The annual Breeders' Cup horse racing event
0:17:48 > 0:17:51is held over two days in which country?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Well, I'm pretty certain it's not Ireland,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02and Australia, they do the Melbourne Cup.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I would have to go for the US of A.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08And you're quite right.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13CJ, Alfredo de Stefano
0:18:13 > 0:18:17played international football for three nations:
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Spain, Columbia and which other country?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26He got around a bit, then, this bloke.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33This is just going to have to be a blind guess.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- I have no idea, I'll go for Argentina.- And you're right.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Argentina is the correct answer.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Back to you, Dennis, playing a strong round here.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Which cricketer of the 1970s and 1980s
0:18:44 > 0:18:49was nicknamed Paddles at school on account of his large feet?
0:18:55 > 0:19:01Right, OK, I've not heard the name associated with Boycott,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03or for that matter, Dennis Lillee,
0:19:03 > 0:19:08so I don't actually know the answer but I will go with Richard Hadlee.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Richard Hadlee is the right answer.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Paddles Hadlee.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16CJ, your question.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty
0:19:19 > 0:19:24and Cale Yarborough are well-known figures in which sport?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Well, I know virtually nothing about any of them,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35but I do know a tiny bit about American football
0:19:35 > 0:19:36and I don't recognise them,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40but the only thing I've got to go on is Petty.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I thought there was a Petty in NASCAR.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52That's the only scrap I've got to go on, so I'll going for NASCAR.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54And help us with what NASCAR is.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55It's, er, stock car racing.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Stock car racing. You're right, it is NASCAR.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Good play today. Three questions each, scores are level,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07so, Dennis, back to you for Sudden Death now.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Which French striker surpassed Michel Platini's
0:20:10 > 0:20:12international goalscoring record
0:20:12 > 0:20:16by scoring two goals against Lithuania in 2007?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I'm going to go with Thierry Henry.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24You are absolutely right, it is Thierry Henry.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30CJ, get this wrong you're not in the final.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32For how many minutes must rugby union players
0:20:32 > 0:20:35who've committed a yellow card offence remain in the sin bin?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I'm not sure.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43The only thing coming to mind is something to do with the sin bin and ten minutes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48That's the only thing I've got so I'll say ten minutes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Ten minutes is correct,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55keeping yourself out of our little sin bin for the time being.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Back to you, Dennis.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02Which British rowing club uses a pink hippo as its emblem?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Right, rowing clubs.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12I suppose we have rowing at Oxford and we have rowing at Cambridge.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14They tend to be blue.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22The only other area for rowing that I'm aware of is Henley.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Whether there's a specific name, I don't know but let's go with Henley,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29No, the answer is Leander Rowing Club.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34CJ, if you get this question right you've won the head-to-head.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39What is the only golf major that Lee Trevino
0:21:39 > 0:21:41failed to win during his career?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46He won the US Open in consecutive years, didn't he?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I've got bits of lists in my head
0:21:51 > 0:21:54and I can't distinguish between the US Masters and the US PGA.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I will go with the US Masters.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Your answer is the US Masters.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09It is the right answer, CJ, well done. You've won that round.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Dennis, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Would you both come back and rejoin your team mates.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21So, this is what we've been playing towards, the final round,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Are you ready, Bald and Beautiful?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Those of you who lost your head-to-heads don't need to be,
0:22:29 > 0:22:30because you can't take part.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34So, Rob, Dennis and Mark from the Bald and the Beautiful,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and Judith from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- So, here we are Gary and Bob, good luck to you.- Thank you.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47You're the warehouse guys, you've shown the compliance officers a clean pair of heels.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- The office boys didn't know much, did they?- Not enough!
0:22:50 > 0:22:54You're playing to win the Bald and the Beautiful £6,000.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Chris, Barry, Kevin and CJ, you're playing for something
0:22:57 > 0:23:00money can't buy, the Eggheads' famous reputation.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07The questions are all general knowledge, you may confer.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10The Bald and the Beautiful, the question is are your two brains
0:23:10 > 0:23:13better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Gary and Bob, do you want to go first or second.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18We will go first, I think.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Again, good luck. If a person is particularly astute,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27there is said to be no what on them?
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Flies.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Flies.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34No flies on them.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- No flies.- It's an old saying.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39It is an old saying, you're right, correct answer.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41First question to the Eggheads.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Which film car is described in a song
0:23:44 > 0:23:47as "our fine four-fendered friend"?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, isn't it?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59We are all agreed, it's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02That is the correct answer, Eggheads.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Back to you guys.
0:24:04 > 0:24:10Ben Bernanke was sworn as the head of which US institution in 2006?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I think it's the Federal Reserve.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Didn't he take over from the bloke who was on it for years and years?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I've got no idea, to be honest.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27COuldn't even guess, but if you think it's that, we'll go for it.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31It's been... I know there was a change of office
0:24:31 > 0:24:34about that time, so I think it's Federal Reserve.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Federal Reserve.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Is that your answer? Who did he take over from, who was the famous guy?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Alan Greenspan held the post for many years.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Greenspan did hand over to Bernanke, absolutely right.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Federal Reserve it was.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Eggheads, what name is given to the raised edge on a table in a ship,
0:24:54 > 0:24:58that prevents objects from falling off in a heavy sea?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- It's a fiddle, isn't it? - Fiddle, yep.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Definitely a fiddle.- The fiddle.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09You're right, it was fiddle.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12The next question is for the Bald and the Beautiful.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Who wrote the bestselling 2007 crime novel Faces?
0:25:22 > 0:25:28I think I've seen it on bookshelves, and I think it's Martina Cole.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32If you think so, that will do for me because I don't know it.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I ought to get this one right, I have been working
0:25:35 > 0:25:38in a warehouse with books just lately,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41and I think it's Martina Cole,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44but we will go with Martina Cole.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47The joy of being a warehouse supervisor,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49you get all these answers on the shelves.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You're right, it was Martina Cole.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58So you're going along stacking the shelves, clocking the book titles?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Get to read the back of them, see what they're about.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03We've got to hope they get the next question wrong.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05So, here we go.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Cormac McCarthy's novel No Country for Old Men
0:26:08 > 0:26:12takes its title from a poem by which author?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I don't think it's Eliot.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I don't think it's... I've read this.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26And the problem is...
0:26:28 > 0:26:31..the one thing I remember is a W.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Ah. Yeah, OK.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It sounds Yeatsian, it could be about Ireland.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Possibly. Quite possibly, yeah.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42It's the sort of thing he'd be inclined to write.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47The one that is drawing me is Auden, but I've got really no basis.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I have read this.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52And I am trying to remember it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54If you get this wrong,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58then the Bald and the Beautiful will carry off £6,000.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Logic says from the title, it should be Yeats,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05but possibly putting my head above the parapet here,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09just making a fool of myself, if it was me I would go for Auden
0:27:09 > 0:27:12simply because there is something that is drawing me, I've seen it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15But I can't even say I've definitely seen it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18You are the only one who has something at the back of their... .
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Oh, don't put it on me if it's wrong.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22We didn't listen to you last time.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26But last time I thought I was right, this time I've got nothing.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31If you think it's a title that should be used for Yeats,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33we can go for that, but...
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- No, I'm changing my mind. - I'm going for Auden.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38We're all agreed we're going for Auden.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Your answer is WH Auden.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44The conversation we've just heard, of course,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46takes us back to the skateboard incident.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Yeah, but I was reasonably sure about that one.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51CJ had a fact, everyone ignored him and his fact was right.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55On this occasion, CJ had a fact and everyone listened to him.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- I didn't have a fact. - And his fact was wrong.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01The answer is WB Yeats,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05congratulations, challengers, you've won.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Well done, you've won £6,000.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Any ideas what you want to do with the money?
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- I'm about to become a great-grandfather. - Great-grandfather, fantastic.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- Maybe some of the money can celebrate that.- It may well do.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Great winners we've got here. You've just won £6,000,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28you are officially, at this moment in time, cleverer than them.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Hang on to that. You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Join us next time on Eggheads
0:28:33 > 0:28:36to see if a new team of challengers will be just as successful.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
