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 > 0:00:14arguably 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, the show where
0:00:26 > 0:00:31a team of quiz challengers pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35You might recognise them - they are Goliaths in the world of TV quizzes.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Crewes Control. The team have all worked
0:00:43 > 0:00:46for the same luxury car manufacturer in Cheshire,
0:00:46 > 0:00:48and team-captain, Ken, decided to hold a quiz
0:00:48 > 0:00:51to see who was worthy enough to take on the Eggheads.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53This is the result. Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Ken. I'm 58, and I'm now a white-van man.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Tracey.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm 41, and I'm a receptionist.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm John. I'm 59, and I'm a material coordinator.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Paul.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm 37, and I'm a supplier production preparation manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hello, I'm Justine. I'm 40, and I'm a legal adviser.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Crewes Control, welcome.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15You held a quiz...
0:01:15 > 0:01:18to see who was... going to take part today.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Tell us about that.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I actually put an advert on the company intranet system,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and asked for some volunteers,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and I got six replies. And I held a quiz
0:01:28 > 0:01:31to find out who was going to be reserve.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- One person...- Unfortunately...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Fallen by the wayside. They'll be laughing if you lose!
0:01:36 > 0:01:37- Yes.- Yes. - ALL CHUCKLE
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Well, good luck today.- Thank you.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45If they don't defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47the money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49So, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51which means
0:01:51 > 0:01:54£4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58The first head-to-head battle will be on Arts & Books.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Challengers, who wants to play?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Ooh, Justine.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04ALL CONFER
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Or Tracey.- Do you want me to? I don't mind.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- If you want to go for that, it's fine.- Oooh!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Yeah. You said you'd do that. - Go on, then.- Yeah. Justine.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Who do you fancy taking it against?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Um...- Justine.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19OK, Justine, who's a legal adviser for the company...against?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Um...- Who looks non-literary? Who looks under-read? - THEY CHUCKLE
0:02:23 > 0:02:24- ALL: Chris? - Yes.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26We'll give Chris a go.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27To ensure no conferring,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30take your positions in the question room.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35So, Justine, we should say you're called Crewes Control,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37but we haven't misspelt "Crewes", have we?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41No. No, you haven't. Crewe's where we're all based, with work.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- And a lot of railway stuff in Crewe? - There is, yes.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Well, Chris, that's up your street, or down your track.- Yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51There was virtually nothing there until 1839.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55There was the two villages - Monks Coppenhall, Church Coppenhall, couple of farms,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57a few cottages, and that was it.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Crewe Hall was the local big house,
0:02:59 > 0:03:04then Grand Junction Railway moved their locomotive workshops from Edge Hill, Liverpool,
0:03:04 > 0:03:05to a greenfield site in Crewe,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- and the town grew up around the railway works.- Quite amazing.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Justine, will you choose the first or second set of questions?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I'm going to go first, I think, and get it out of the way.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19So, good luck.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22The novelist John Buchan was born in which country?
0:03:25 > 0:03:30I know one of the novels he wrote, but...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I don't know where he came from.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34It sounds Scottish to me, so I'll go for Scotland.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Scotland is right.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Nifty bit of logic there. Chris.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Over to you. Who created the character Squirrel Nutkin?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Squirrel Nutkin. She's one of Beatrix Potter's, isn't she?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55It's not Kenneth Grahame. He was Wind In The Willows,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59and I don't think it's Enid Blyton, so I'll go with Beatrix Potter.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Is absolutely right. Beatrix Potter.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Back to you, Justine.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05As You Came From The Holy Land
0:04:05 > 0:04:08is a poem by which explorer?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17I don't know...
0:04:17 > 0:04:19SHE SIGHS
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I'll try and narrow it down to between Drake and Raleigh.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Umm...
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'm going to go with Francis Drake.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- You narrowed it down so well, and then chose the wrong one.- Oh!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Walter Raleigh is the answer.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37OK, Chris.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40The Last Judgment is a famous fresco by which Italian artist?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Well, there's several Last Judgments, aren't there?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Um...
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Not very well up on Italian religious art of the Renaissance.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00So, I'll have to go with Michelangelo.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Yeah, and Michelangelo is correct.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08So, it's two for the Eggheads, one for the challengers, which means,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Justine, you've gotta get it right,
0:05:10 > 0:05:11or Chris will be in the final.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Which work by Ernest Hemingway takes its title
0:05:14 > 0:05:17from a 16th-century poem by the English dramatist, George Peele?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I haven't heard of Islands In The Stream,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- apart from the Dolly Parton song! - SHE LAUGHS
0:05:29 > 0:05:31But, er...
0:05:32 > 0:05:33A Farewell To Arms.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Got it right.- Yeah.- Well done.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Chris.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Your question, to take the round.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48The title of William Faulkner's 1929 novel The Sound And The Fury
0:05:48 > 0:05:52is taken from a speech in which Shakespeare play?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Ah, it's a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00signifying nothing. It's Macbeth.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Chris, you're quite right.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It is Macbeth. Well done to you,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06taking that round. Justine, sorry.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09You won't be in the final round. Chris will.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Do both of you come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21The Eggheads have lost no brains. Our next subject is Geography.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23You make cars, drive around, see places,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- you're good at geography. - THEY CONFER
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Afraid so.- What if history comes up?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Tracey's all right on history. - THEY CONFER
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- OK.- Go for it.- I'll do geography.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Paul.- Who d'you fancy taking on?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39- I'll take...- Barry!
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Judith, please.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42So, it's Paul from Crewes Control
0:06:42 > 0:06:44versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47And again, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:47 > 0:06:48please go to the question rooms.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Paul, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I'll go second, please.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Judith, first question.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03In which US state is the city of San Francisco located?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I'm fairly sure that that is California.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12California is correct. Judith, well done.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Over to you, Paul.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Scotland's River Tay flows into which body of water?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25You'll never know from listening to me,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27but I am born and bred in Scotland -
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I'll be in trouble if I do get it wrong.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34And the Tay flows into the North Sea.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Absolutely right. Well done.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Judith, over to you.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39In which ocean
0:07:39 > 0:07:44is the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe located?
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Oh, dear.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Well, I mean, the rule is, with islands,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54and I presume it is an island...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Oh, can you say it? Sao Tome and what?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Sao Tome and Principe.- And Principe.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01The Democratic Republic of.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Islands live in the Pacific.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05HE CHUCKLES
0:08:05 > 0:08:06I knew you were going to do that!
0:08:06 > 0:08:10This is quizzer's rule we've established... If in doubt, answer -
0:08:10 > 0:08:14the Pacific, cheese, or Handel.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I've watched them at work. That's what they do.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19The funny thing is, you're wrong.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Oh, no!- Yes, there is justice in the world.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- You're wrong. It's the Atlantic. - Is it?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Well, where is it? Tell me, so that I can learn.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28You look at a map, there's a lot of blue,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30and a dot in it. That's it. Moving on.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31- You don't know.- Shh!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Paul.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36What is the name given to a protective structure
0:08:36 > 0:08:39of wood, stone, or concrete
0:08:39 > 0:08:44that extends from the shore into the water to prevent longshore drift?
0:08:49 > 0:08:54I've never heard of a groyne, but a weir is...used in a river,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57a sluice gate would be in a...
0:08:57 > 0:09:01some sort of waterworks, I'd imagine, so I will go with groyne.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04You're right. Groyne is correct.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's a breakwater, isn't it?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Yeah.- The same as a breakwater.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Yeah.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Your question.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Which European capital city
0:09:13 > 0:09:18has an airport named after the scientist Nikola Tesla?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I can't remember where he came from.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Um...
0:09:27 > 0:09:31And his name doesn't really give anything much away.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Um...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37What about Belgrade?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39That's the correct answer.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Paul, your question. The Ghan
0:09:44 > 0:09:49is a 48-hour, 2,979km
0:09:49 > 0:09:53train journey through which country?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58How long was the journey again, Jeremy?
0:09:58 > 0:10:0248 hours, 2,979km.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06A 2,000-mile train journey. Um...
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It sounds like a word that would be...Chinese.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19In Russia, I think, the only long one would be the Trans-Siberian...
0:10:21 > 0:10:26I don't know if Australia actually has got a train journey that long,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28so I will go with China.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31China is the wrong answer.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Which one do you think it is, team?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Australia.- Australia's right, yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Sorry, Paul! Australia.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40The name is actually short for Afghan.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And the journey runs along the south-eastern coast
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and then, about halfway up the country,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48goes straight north towards Alice Springs.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50The only way they could supply Alice Springs
0:10:50 > 0:10:52before the railway was by camel train -
0:10:52 > 0:10:55they actually brought over Afghan camel-drivers
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- to take caravans of camels across the desert to Alice.- Extraordinary.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01After three questions each,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03the scores are level, so we go to sudden death.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07It's not multiple choice - it gets harder. Your question, Judith.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11The Tropic Of Cancer passes through which Latin American country?
0:11:11 > 0:11:16The equator goes through Ecuador. I think that's why it's called Ecuador.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18So, it's a bit above that.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Panama?
0:11:20 > 0:11:21HE MOUTHS
0:11:21 > 0:11:23No. Mexico.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Oh.- You're wrong.- Higher up. - Judith - you'll be out of the final,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30if Paul gets this right. Paul, get this right, you're in the final.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Here's your question.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36If you were to hop over the wall at the bottom of the garden of 10 Downing Street,
0:11:36 > 0:11:42which open-air London tourist attraction would you find yourself standing in?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Number 10 Downing Street.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Um...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I'm just trying to picture it on a map, now.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I would say...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Horse Guards Parade.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Paul, you are...
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- right.- Ooh!- Horse Guards Parade. - APPLAUSE
0:11:58 > 0:12:00So very, very well played.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Getting them on sudden death is not easy.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04We know that.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07That means Paul will be in the final. Judith, you won't.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Do both come back and join your teams.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Judith, the islands were in the Gulf of Guinea.- The Gulf of Guinea.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- I've just remembered. - I'll never forget it.- As it stands,
0:12:17 > 0:12:22the challengers have lost one brain. The Eggheads have also lost one brain. Next -
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Film & Television.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Which of the challengers wants this one,
0:12:26 > 0:12:27- and against who? - CHUCKLING
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- I'll go.- You.- I'll go.- Sure?- Yes.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- OK, Tracey.- Who do you want? - I'll go,
0:12:32 > 0:12:33and I will take on...
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Daphne, please.- Tracey from Crewes Control against Daphne
0:12:36 > 0:12:38from the Eggheads.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Please go to the question room.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Tracey, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:12:44 > 0:12:45I'll go first, please.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Good luck to you,
0:12:49 > 0:12:53and your team. What is the name of the Great Dane who arrived on Coronation Street
0:12:53 > 0:12:56in 2004?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I do actually know this one, because I'm a bit of a Corrie freak, so...
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I know it's not Ronaldinho, and it's definitely not Zidane.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I'm going for Schmeichel.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Yes, absolutely right. Schmeichel is correct.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Daphne -
0:13:14 > 0:13:17which film director was known as "the master of suspense"?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Well, it's Alfred Hitchcock, isn't it? Yes.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Alfred Hitchcock is correct.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Over to you then, Tracey.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Which actor played the title role in the US TV series,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Doogie Howser, MD?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I know absolutely nothing about American TV.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48It just doesn't interest me at all.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Erm...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Fred Savage.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54It's Neil Patrick Harris
0:13:54 > 0:13:56who was the actor.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59It would have stumped me. Daphne.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Which TV show has been presented by Kriss Akabusi,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Linford Christie, and Ronald Reagan Jr?
0:14:09 > 0:14:10SHE EXHALES
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I don't think it's Magpie.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Oh...Gladiators...
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I don't know. I've never seen Gladiators.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Erm...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'm at a complete loss, so...
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Record Breakers.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Is she right?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29THEY MURMUR
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Where'd she dig that from? - Yeah. You know, it's a mystery.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Nine out of ten Daphne-guesses are correct.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- You're right, Daphne.- Oh!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I thought you were going to say this was the tenth.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- No, it's a complete mystery.- Ah.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47You're almost more likely to get it right if you don't know the answer.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Yes, yes!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Tracey, get this one right, please,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53or you're not in the final.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Which Oscar-winning director appeared in Stanley Kubrick's
0:14:56 > 0:14:59final film, Eyes Wide Shut?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I said this wasn't my favourite subject.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Erm...
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Francis Ford Coppola.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13The director,
0:15:13 > 0:15:18who's also an actor, died quite recently.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19His name was Sydney Pollack.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- SHE MOUTHS - So...
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Coppola was wrong.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Sorry, Tracey. Means you won't be in the final. Well done, Daphne.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Egghead in the final, there.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Come back and join your teams.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Sorry about that, Tracey.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Never mind.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Mugged by Miss Marple.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- That's how we like to describe it. - LAUGHTER
0:15:40 > 0:15:42At least I can use that as my claim to fame now.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You're in a long line of people to whom the same thing has happened.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48She smiles sweetly, then bang!
0:15:48 > 0:15:49As it stands, the challengers
0:15:49 > 0:15:53have lost two brains. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55The last subject is Sport.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Were you holding back for sport?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Here you are, Ken.- Ken.- It's you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Ken's our sport man.- Ken.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Self-described white-van man? - Yes.- OK.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Which Egghead do you want? - CJ, please.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09- LAUGHTER - No hesitation!
0:16:09 > 0:16:13It's Ken from Crewes Control, against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14To ensure no conferring,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16please take your positions now.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Ken, you're not at the car company now?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21No, I left in January.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You're driving a van around for the bakery?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Yes, a white-van man. Crazy white-van man.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So, early morning bread rolls and all that?
0:16:29 > 0:16:315.15am start, yes.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- And every day, day-in-day-out. Same bakery?- Same bakery, yes.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36A one man band, but he's a good boss.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38He's given me today off anyway, so he must be all right.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Let's see how you do. Three questions on sport, in turn.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Ken, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45The first set, please.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Here we go.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Which Olympic gold-medal-winning athlete
0:16:52 > 0:16:58resigned from his job as a presenter on Songs Of Praise in 2007,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01after losing his faith in Christianity?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I'm pretty sure it's Jonathan Edwards.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Jonathan Edwards.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I'll go with that. My first instinct.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14You're absolutely right. It's the correct answer.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Over to you, CJ.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Which sport
0:17:19 > 0:17:22is believed to take its name from the French for
0:17:22 > 0:17:23"to hold"?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Oh.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35The French for "to hold" is tenir, but I've just never heard it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37It must be tennis,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40but I've just never heard that.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Tennis is the correct answer. Judith -
0:17:42 > 0:17:45the connection? You hold a racquet? That simple?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I was just wondering why on earth it could be called ten...
0:17:48 > 0:17:53I mean, tennis would derive from tenir - to hold.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It goes back to real tennis,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- and when they serve, they say, "Tenez!"- Oh.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59- As in, "Take that"?- Yeah.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01As in, "Cop hold of that, John."
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- There we are.- Take hold. - Glad I asked.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- You're so graphic! - LAUGHTER
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Can you stand up and do that, Chris?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11No, his trousers fall down.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13LAUGHTER
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Has that happened before?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22OK, Ken. Here we go. In which year
0:18:22 > 0:18:26did the British driver John Surtees become Formula One World Champion?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36My first instinct is that it's not '74.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40I think '69's too late.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I'll go for '64. 1964.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Spot on! Great answer.
0:18:45 > 0:18:471964.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50CJ, your question. He's playing well, isn't he?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Unfortunately.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Which Test batsman
0:18:54 > 0:19:00captained England on 31 occasions, but only averaged 22 with the bat,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02and never scored a century?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I really don't know. I'll try Mike Gatting.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's Mike Brearley,
0:19:15 > 0:19:16so you fall behind.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18And that means,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Ken, if you get this right,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22you've beaten the Egghead.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Here's your question.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27How many Olympic medals did the Soviet gymnast
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Larissa Latynina win during her career?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I'll be honest. I've never heard of the individual, so...
0:19:45 > 0:19:47My gut instinct, again, is 12.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I'll go with my first instinct. 12.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55She won nine gold, five silver, and four bronze.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59That's 18 medals, Ken.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02CJ, if you get this right, we go to sudden death.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04If you get it wrong, you're out of the final.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05In 2008,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09who became the first rugby union player to make
0:20:09 > 0:20:13200 appearances in the Guinness Premiership?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20No, don't have a clue.
0:20:25 > 0:20:31Well, there's only one name that's jumping out at me, so I will...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34try Gareth Llewellyn.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Llewellyn. Why is that jumping out at you?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's the only name I've heard of.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41It's the wrong name, though.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Simon Shaw is the correct answer.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45So, Ken, well done.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Your boss at the bakery will be watching and cheering at this very moment,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52and he gave you a day off for good reason.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Good news for our challengers. Ken will be in the final round.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Bad news for the Eggheads, because CJ won't.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Please come back, join your teams.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06This is what we've been playing towards. Time for the final round - which is General Knowledge.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:08 > 0:21:10aren't allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So Tracey and Justine from Crewes Control,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17and also CJ and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:21:17 > 0:21:18please leave the studio.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22So here we are. Ken, John and Paul,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26you are playing to win Crewes Control £4,000.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29You'll know you're coming off the back of a period where
0:21:29 > 0:21:33the Eggheads plunged into some mortal depression and lost,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37not three in a row, but three in less than a fortnight.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39See if they're out of it. Daphne, Chris, Barry -
0:21:39 > 0:21:41you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:21:41 > 0:21:43the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Questions are general knowledge -
0:21:48 > 0:21:51and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Crewes Control - are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Ken, John and Paul,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- first or second? - We'll go first, please.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02And good luck.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Which month of the year is known as enero in Spanish?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11THEY CONFER
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- I think it's January.- It sounds like it would be.- I haven't a clue,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I'll be honest with you.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- I don't think it's March or May. I'd go for January.- I'd go for January.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Group decision. We think January.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23It is January.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Over to you, Eggheads. The singer
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Craig David was born in 1981, in which city?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Gosh. I haven't a clue.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39No.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40THEY MURMUR
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I have no idea whatsoever.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Right, what do we know about him?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I think I might have heard of it if it had been Bath.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Because that's round your neck of the woods? Yeah.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- It rings a bell with Southampton. - It's a port city.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58So, it'd be more cosmopolitan than the other two.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I'm getting firmer on Southampton.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02OK. You go for it.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07We're not 100% sure, but we're going to go for Southampton.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09The singer Craig David
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- was born in 1981 in Southampton. You're right.- Oh!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Pure guess.- What a shame - - SHE CHUCKLES
0:23:14 > 0:23:17knocking them out on the first question is handy.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Crewes Control. What nationality is the supermodel Heidi Klum?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- You've been there.- I've been?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Klum.- Pretty sure she's German.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- I would have thought the same.- She's married to Mr Seal now, isn't she?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- OK. Fine with me. - We think it's German.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38It's German. You're right.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Two points to you.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Back to you, Eggheads.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Which wrestler played the part of Fezzick
0:23:44 > 0:23:47in the 1987 film, The Princess Bride?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58I'm 95% certain that it was Andre the Giant.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Hulk Hogan wouldn't be in anything with the word Princess in,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03it just wouldn't come right,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05and Jesse Ventura was the governor of Minnesota,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- and I don't think it's him. - Go for that.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09We'll go for Andre the Giant.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Quite right. Andre the Giant is correct.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Well done!- You need this, guys.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15You need this question.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18"Look at the stars,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20"Look how they shine for you,"
0:24:20 > 0:24:23is the opening line from which Coldplay single?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- I know that. I know that. - I was about to sing that,
0:24:29 > 0:24:31but I'll just keep my voice down a little bit.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- It's definitely Yellow.- Is it?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- # It's all yellow. # - Definitely.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Yes. 100%.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40I bow to experience. It's Yellow.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Right. Well done.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Yellow is the answer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Eggheads, you get this wrong,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48you've lost again. Here's your question.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51"The stakes are too high for you to stay at home,"
0:24:51 > 0:24:58was the 1964 presidential campaign slogan for whom?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05'64.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06- Barry Goldwater...- So...
0:25:06 > 0:25:11- '64's too early for Nixon, isn't it? - Well, '64 was Lyndon Johnson,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- after...- It was - Kennedy was assassinated in '63, so Johnson...
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Barry Goldwater was standing on a right wing, Bomb The Reds ticket.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Yes.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22So...um...
0:25:22 > 0:25:26there was a real danger that voter-apathy would let Goldwater in.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- It's got to be Lyndon Johnson. All agreed?- Yes.- Yes.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31We're all agreed that it's Lyndon B Johnson.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Johnson is correct - it was early for Nixon.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Sudden death now, OK?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Not multiple choice any more.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Here's your question.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43What is the name of the small hammer,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47traditionally used by judges and auctioneers?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- It's a gavel, isn't it? - A gavel.- Gavel.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Definitely.- It's a gavel.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Gavel is correct.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Eggheads.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Which supermodel was arrested
0:25:58 > 0:26:00on suspicion of assaulting a police officer
0:26:00 > 0:26:03at London's Heathrow airport in April 2008?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It's the delectable Naomi Campbell.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Naomi Campbell is the right answer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Sudden death, remember.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Here's your question. Tongue-Tied - Fifty Years Of Friendship
0:26:15 > 0:26:19In A Subnormality Hospital
0:26:19 > 0:26:22is an autobiographical work by which man,
0:26:22 > 0:26:28a minor celebrity in the 1980s, thanks to the TV show, Blue Peter?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Erm... - I'm trying to rack my brains.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36In the '80s. Pick somebody out of Blue Peter.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Would it be a presenter, or someone who appeared...?- Peter Duncan?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Well, I don't think that was Duncan.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Pardon? - He was quite well known, wasn't he?
0:26:46 > 0:26:47- Peter Duncan.- Was it?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Peter Duncan.- Yeah, it won't be him, but go for it anyway.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54The only one we can think of is Peter Duncan.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Wasn't Peter Duncan.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- No.- His name was Joey Deacon.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02He suffered from cerebral palsy,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05dictated his life story, one letter at a time.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08There we are.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10So, with this answer,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12you can take the contest,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14but will you take it? Let's see.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17What was the first name of the comic-book character
0:27:17 > 0:27:19created by Norman Pett,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23who had a pet daschund named Fritz,
0:27:23 > 0:27:28and appeared in the Daily Mirror newspaper between 1932 and 1959?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- We're all agreed?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33We're all agreed on Jane.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34You said that with some certainty.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37We all remember Jane. We're all of an age.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- THEY CHUCKLE - Even me.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Your answer is correct,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44so congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Well done, Eggheads.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Commiserations, challengers. Been good to have you.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57You ran them close, but the Eggheads
0:27:57 > 0:28:01have done what comes naturally to them, and they reign over quizland.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Maybe they are getting over that bad patch.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I'm afraid you won't go home with £4,000,
0:28:05 > 0:28:09which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Join us next time to see if a new team have the brains
0:28:12 > 0:28:14to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17£5,000 says they don't.
