0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are among 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 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:35You might recognize them as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:41are the Northern Lights from West Yorkshire.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42They all work in insurance
0:00:42 > 0:00:47and decided that, because they all live up north and are quite bright,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Northern Lights would be a good team name. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Rich. I'm 29 and I'm a claims validation team leader.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Rachel. I'm 29 and I'm a marketing team leader.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Nick. I'm 33 and I'm also a claims validation team leader.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Caroline. I'm 25 and I'm a customer relations consultant.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 32 and I'm a claims consultant.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- So, welcome Northern Lights. - Thank you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Good to have you here, Rich. I know you're a fan of the show.- I am, yes.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- And beside you is your twin, Rachel. - Yes she is.- Hi.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Non-identical, but born, obviously, at the same moment.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- That's right, yeah. - In fact which is older?
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Rachel's older by two minutes.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And you don't work for the bank that Rich works for,
0:01:27 > 0:01:33- but you're in finance as well?- Yes. - So all financial services?- Mmm.- Yes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39Rich, I gather you had an award from your work colleagues for Most Vain Person? Can you explain that?
0:01:39 > 0:01:44I take pride in my appearance and, you know, I like clothes,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48I like nice things and I look in the mirror every now and again, so...
0:01:48 > 0:01:51CJ's not playing today, is he?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I thought exactly the same.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- I was thinking it's the kind of award he'd be quite jealous of, wouldn't he?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Couldn't stand the competition!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- That's right, he's left the building.- He's run a mile.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Good luck! I know you're fans of the programme and wish you well.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So, Northern Lights, the Eggheads have won the last four games
0:02:15 > 0:02:19which means £5,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23First head to head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- That's you, then, yes? - Definitely.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Go for it, Chris.- Go on, Chris. - Who would you like to play?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35How about, maybe, Barry?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Barry?- Yeah, we could try Barry. - Yes, try Barry.
0:02:39 > 0:02:45OK, it's Chris from the Northern Lights against Barry from the Eggheads, on Film & TV.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Good luck in this round. I'm going to ask each of you
0:02:52 > 0:02:54three multiple choice questions on Film & TV in turn.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Whoever answers most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Chris, your choice. Would you like the first or the second set?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Uh... The first set, please.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Chris. Janet Ellis and Mark Curry were part of the Blue Peter presenting team in which decade?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15If I'm thinking of Blue Peter,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19they'd be pretty much my era and certainly Simon Groom.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23I don't know if they were with him at the time, but...
0:03:23 > 0:03:27So, I'm going to say the '80s cos that's when I was growing up.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30The '80s is right. Well done.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Over to you, Barry.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36What's your record on film and TV? I can't remember.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Poor, but I'm hoping it'll get better.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45The religious travelogue show Highway was regularly presented by which former member of The Goons?
0:03:49 > 0:03:54I don't recall having watched this, but the only one there
0:03:54 > 0:03:56that seems plausible at all must be Harry Secombe.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58So that's my answer, Harry Secombe.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Absolutely right, it's Harry Secombe.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Your question, Chris.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08In which month is the Cannes Film Festival usually held?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15March I'm pretty sure is the Oscars, or tends to be.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18August...
0:04:18 > 0:04:21The only thing I can think of there
0:04:21 > 0:04:24is that Cannes would probably be too hot in August for everybody.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25So I'm going to go for May.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27And May is completely right.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Well done, you've got it! Playing well.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Barry, which animated character regularly appeared with Tony Hart
0:04:35 > 0:04:37in various children's TV series?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46It was the wonderfully wicked Morph and his friend Chav.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Was his friend called Chav?!
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- Chas, I think.- A first recorded use! - Not much difference.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55A first recorded use of that word would have been interesting.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Yes, you're right. Morph is the correct answer.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01That brings you level after two questions.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03So, Chris, keep the pressure on with this one.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08For what type of business did Michael Douglas and Demi Moore work in the 1994 film Disclosure?
0:05:14 > 0:05:19OK, I think the film might have been based on a Michael Crichton novel.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26And I think he's written novels that are based
0:05:26 > 0:05:30in at least two of those industries.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34But for some reason, I think it's a computer company.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38You're right, computer company it is. Three out of three!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Barry, over to you.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Which actor directed the 1998 Sandra Bullock film drama Hope Floats?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Gosh.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Hope Floats. It's one that passed me by completely.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00It doesn't ring a bell with Denzel Washington
0:06:00 > 0:06:03though I know he has started directing movies.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06For some reason I don't think it's Morgan Freeman.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10So, without any real conviction, I'm going to go for Forest Whitaker.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12But the logic was good. It is Forest Whitaker. Well done.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Three each, over to you. Sudden death now, Chris.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21So not multiple choice - these questions, that bit harder.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26The 1980s TV show, Tucker's Luck was a spin-off from which TV series?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Grange Hill.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Grange Hill is right.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Over to you, Barry.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Which 1949 film musical features three sailors
0:06:37 > 0:06:41named Gabey, Chip and Ozzie, seeking excitement and romance in New York?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Ooh, 1949?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51The only one that comes to mind is Anchors Away.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Anchors Away is your answer?- It is.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- It's not that, it's called... Eggheads?- On The Town.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57On The Town is correct.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Should have known that one.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Daphne is running through the cast, let's get this.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Frank Sinatra...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Gene Kelly, wasn't it? - ..and Jules Munshin.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Oh, Gene Kelly?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Gene Kelly, yup.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Well, that means, Barry,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16you've lost in this category.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Starting to maybe be a dangerous category for you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- That's interesting as we're building up Barry's profile. - Don't tell everyone!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24They'll start picking on Film & TV.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Well done, Chris. You beat an Egghead and did it in a convincing way as well.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Good news for our challengers -
0:07:29 > 0:07:31you will play in the final round.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Do both of you come back and rejoin us here in the studio.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40The Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Our next subject is history.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44History, challengers?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46History... Caroline?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I think I'd better go for it, guys.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Go on.- Are you confident? - I'm really confident.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55OK, who do you want to take on? You can't take Barry.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Barry's very good on History, actually, but that's irrelevant now!
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- Daphne?- Can we take Daphne on at History, please?
0:08:04 > 0:08:10Daphne. OK, the sort of beguiling charm can be misleading, here.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14She wears those shoes that villain in James Bond wore - the ones with the points in them.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- No, I haven't got them on today. - Oh, you haven't got them on today?
0:08:17 > 0:08:22- What was the name of that person? - Rosa Klebb.- Rosa Klebb. OK,
0:08:22 > 0:08:26So it's Caroline from Northern Lights against Rosa Klebb...
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Sorry... Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Good luck, Caroline. And good luck, Daphne.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I don't mean to worry Caroline but played 45 History and lost...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41how many, Daphne?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Twice?- Twice, OK.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I'll ask each of you three questions on History.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Caroline, the first or second set of questions?- First, please.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Which is the only surname that's been shared by a US president and a UK prime minister?
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Um... I don't really have any idea. It's not the kind of thing that
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I've got a lot of knowledge on.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16So, I'm going to have to guess
0:09:16 > 0:09:19and I'm going to go with Wilson.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Do your team like that answer?
0:09:21 > 0:09:22They like it here.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's right. Wilson is correct.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Could this be number three, Daphne?
0:09:28 > 0:09:35Which historical figure is credited with coming up with the idea of Britain's Great Exhibition of 1851?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, that's Prince Albert.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Correct.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Back to you, Caroline.
0:09:48 > 0:09:541886 saw the founding of the city of Johannesburg after the discovery of what in the area?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Johannesburg, um...
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I don't think it's gold
0:10:08 > 0:10:11because I haven't heard of a gold rush to Johannesburg
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and I don't think it's aluminium for some reason,
0:10:14 > 0:10:15so I'm going to go with oil.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Oil is your answer.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Could we have guessed this from the name Johannesburg?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23No, it's after a person, is it?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27It's on the Witwatersrand which is the "great gold-bearing reef".
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Yeah, it's gold, Caroline.- Oh.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33They went there for gold.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34So, Daphne,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38what nationality was Trygve Lie, the first secretary general of the United Nations,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42elected on the 1st of February 1946?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Oh... I have this problem.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54I read so much so mentally I sort of pronounce things
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and I've always pronounced it mentally as Trig-vee Lee.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59But he's Norwegian.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01He is Norwegian.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- And it's a "he" as well, yes?- Yes.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07And it's spelt, T-R-Y-G-V-E and then L-I-E.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Yes.- Well done, Daphne.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12So you need this question now, Caroline,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16to stay in with a chance of being in the final. Good luck.
0:11:16 > 0:11:22Whom did Pope Benedict XV canonize in May 1920?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Um... Again, I haven't got a clue,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36so I suppose I'll have to have a guess.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42I think I'll go with Francis of Assisi.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I don't really know why.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46OK, that's wrong, I'm afraid.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51It was Joan of Arc who was canonized 90 years ago.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55So, bad luck. You won't be in the final. Daphne, you will.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Another notch for your bedpost or wherever it is you put them.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- Not on the bedpost.- Somewhere I'm sure, though. Very strong on History.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Please both of you come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13The Eggheads have lost one brain as well. Next subject is Sport.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Which one of you wants this?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16The dreaded Sport!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Have you not got a sporting person?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Yes, that was me.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Oh, it was you! What went wrong?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I think you, Rach, reluctantly.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Very reluctantly.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Reluctantly, Rachel's going to take sport.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33So, Rachel against which Egghead?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Judith doesn't really like sport, does she?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- I'm thinking Judith. - Although she's better.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42- I still think I'll choose Judith. - You're going to choose me?- Yes.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46OK, Rachel from the Northern Lights against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question rooms.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I'm going to ask you three questions on Sport.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Rachel, you can choose the first or second set.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I'd like to go for the second, please.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Here we go, Judith. What name is typically given to the facilities
0:13:02 > 0:13:04for athletes at the Olympic Games?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh, that's the Olympic Village.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13It is. You're right. Well done.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Over to you, Rachel. Good luck.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21Which Midland's city gives its name to a sporting contest between rival teams in the same district?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I believe it's a Derby.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Is that your answer?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34When Manchester United play Manchester City,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I know they call it the local derby.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39You're right. 100 per cent.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46Judith, in which sport is the term "borrow" often used when judging how to play a shot?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I'm trying to think of a sentence to put it in.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Does a commentator say it on the radio or something?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Or the television?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02I'm sure it's not tennis. I've never heard it in tennis
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and that's the only game out of those three that I've played.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11What could you borrow? I absolutely don't... I don't understand it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14But it's a guess.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I'm going to say golf.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Golf is the correct answer.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21The "borrow" is the way the ball is lying.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- It's the run of the green. - The run of the green.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26OK. So it's nothing to do with borrowing and lending?
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Borrowing a racquet? No.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- No. Can I borrow your racquet?- No, you can't!
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Rachel, your question.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38The coach of which national team at Euro 2008 proposed to his girlfriend
0:14:38 > 0:14:42live on air, moments after his team had been knocked out?
0:14:46 > 0:14:52I have no idea. I don't even know who any...
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I know that the manager of the Croatian team looks quite scary.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I can't imagine him having a girlfriend cos he looks so scary!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I don't know anything about Austria.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I don't even know if they were in the Euros.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08And I don't know the age of the French manager either.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I can't even picture who he is.
0:15:10 > 0:15:17I'm going to go for France, on the basis that it is a complete guess.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18It was France. You're right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24So, two each.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Go to our third question, now.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Not a foot wrong so far. Judith, your question.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Which men's tennis player is known as "the magician" for his deft strokeplay on court?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42The Magician.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Um... I don't know.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I think...
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Let's try Sebastian Grosjean.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53No, it wasn't. It was Fabrice Santoro.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Your question now, Rachel.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59If you get this right, you're in the final and you've knocked Judith out.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Knocked an Egghead out. Way to go. Here we go.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09Which famous Australian cricketer did Richie Benaud call "the best captain never to lead Australia"?
0:16:14 > 0:16:20I don't think I've heard of any of the names, although for some reason
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Don Bradman's standing out to me.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I'm going to discard Ray Lindwall.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I have no idea why.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36I'm going to go with Don Bradman, go down the middle.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Don Bradman is wrong. It's Keith Miller.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Oh... Oh, dear.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43So, locked at two points each, we go to Sudden Death on Sport.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Judith, that's the sort of thing you really enjoy, isn't it?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Multiple choice is gone. I need the answer from you on these.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Judith, here's your question. Sudden Death.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Who is the only non-British manager to have won the League and FA Cup double
0:16:58 > 0:17:00in top-flight English football?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Arsene Wenger.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Is correct.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Where did that come from?- God knows! I think it came from Dermot,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15cos he's an Arsenal fan and he goes on and on and on about...
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Wenger is right.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24OK, Rachel. Your question now to stay in it.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Which Scottish snooker player is nicknamed the Wizard of Wishaw?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Um... There's no snooker players coming to mind,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36so I'm going to have to take a stab at one.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38And I wouldn't even know the nationality.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45The only person I can think of is Stephen Hendry,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49who I know is definitely Scottish but I don't think it was Stephen Hendry.
0:17:49 > 0:17:55Um... I have no idea and a complete stab in the dark,
0:17:55 > 0:18:01I am going to go for Mark Williams.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I think your brother knows the answer.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- He probably does.- Higgins.- John Higgins is the answer... from Rich.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11So, sorry. Sudden Death
0:18:11 > 0:18:13and you've been knocked out, Rachel.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You ran her close, though.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Judith, you are in the final after a successful round on Sport!
0:18:19 > 0:18:20We will put up flags and bunting.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24So both of you please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30So, the challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32while the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36The last subject is Food & Drink, so it's going to be Rich or Nick on this.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38We know it's probably not going to be Rich!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- This is my least favourite subject. - I'll do it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Are you happy to do food and drink? - I'll do it.- OK, Nick...
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Nick. Decisive. Suddenly, just straight in.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Considering Richard only eats chips.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Well, there might be a question on chips.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It wouldn't be three questions on chips. Which Egghead?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- Try Kevin cos no-one's... - Shall we try Kevin?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Kevin?- Kevin or Chris. - Shall we give it a go?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01OK, we're going to go with Kevin.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So, Nick from the Northern Lights against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06To ensure there's no conferring...
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Yes, surprise.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Your reputation has spread. Please take your positions.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Last round before the final. I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Food & Drink.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Nick can choose the first or second set.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Let's go first please, Jeremy.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Clotted cream is particularly associated with which area of the UK?
0:19:34 > 0:19:39Clotted cream I am sure isn't Scotland.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43I'm pretty sure it's not the North-East.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I'm gonna go South-West, please.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49And you're right with South-West.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50South-West is correct.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Kevin, Souvlaki is a dish consisting of pieces of meat
0:19:54 > 0:19:57grilled on a skewer from the cuisine of which country?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Souvlaki is Greek. So, Greece.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05That's right. Greece is right.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Nick, your question.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Which cocktail reputedly invented by a count in Florence
0:20:13 > 0:20:18is traditionally made with one part gin, one part sweet vermouth and one part Campari?
0:20:24 > 0:20:30So, I'm pretty sure it's not Bellini because that's a Champagne...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35See, Martini... I'm trying to remember what James Bond gets
0:20:35 > 0:20:38when he don't like it stirred and all that,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42but I'm thinking Negroni because it's kind of Italian-sounding.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I'm pretty sure it's not Martini,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47so let's go for Negroni.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Team-mates? You like that? - We think we like that, yeah.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Yeah, they've said yes, and I can say yes, too.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Negroni is the right answer.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Kevin, what kind of dish was a hodge-podge?
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I think it's just hodge-podge, as the term's come into
0:21:08 > 0:21:13the general language for a mixture of things all put in together. So, stew.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15And stew is completely right.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Third question, Nick.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19You're playing well. Good luck.
0:21:19 > 0:21:25The Thai dish Gai Hor Bai Toey consists of pieces of fried chicken wrapped in what?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33OK, so I'm not thinking leaves.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I'm gonna just get rid of leaves.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39I seem to... I associate Asian cooking more with seaweed.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45And pastry, I'm not too sure what filo pastry is,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48but it sounds nice.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54It's Thai. I'm going to say seaweed because that seems more Thai to me
0:21:54 > 0:21:56than filo pastry. So we'll go seaweed.
0:21:56 > 0:22:03Seaweed is wrong, actually. And you shouldn't have ruled out leaves.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06OK, your question now, Kevin.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Third question for the round and a place in the final.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12What name is given in some parts of France
0:22:12 > 0:22:17to a wine of the most superior grade or the vineyard that produces it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Different regions have different ways of classifying,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30but Burgundy, for instance, as well as some others,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33for their top grades they use the designation Grand Cru.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36So, it'll be that.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38It will be that and it is. Correct.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42So, Kevin, well done. And Nick, you were beaten by our Egghead
0:22:42 > 0:22:45which means you won't help your team in the final round I'm sorry to say.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Both of you please come back to the studio.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53It's time for the Final Round which is General Knowledge.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:55 > 0:22:58won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01So Rachel, Nick and Caroline from the Northern Lights
0:23:01 > 0:23:04and Barry from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Rich and Chris, here we are.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10You're playing to win the Northern Lights £5,000.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Daphne, Chris, Judith and Kevin, are playing for something money can't buy -
0:23:13 > 0:23:15the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22You are allowed to confer.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Northern Lights, the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29So, Rich and Chris, first or second?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- First worked all right for me. - OK, we'll go first, please.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Which work by Shakespeare do actors superstitiously refer to as "the Scottish play"?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- Macbeth's the only Scottish one... - Yes, it's definitely Macbeth.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50We're thinking that would be Macbeth, the Scottish play.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53That's right, they don't like to say the word "Macbeth", do they?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Your question, Eggheads.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00What type of road safety features are the puffin and toucan?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06They're various types of pedestrian crossings.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Quite right.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Over to you...
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Northern Lights.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Which 1980s pop star won an award
0:24:15 > 0:24:21for best courtyard garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2005?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Kim Wilde is a horticulturalist now, so it's gonna be...
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I wouldn't have thought Kate Bush, she's quite reclusive.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Um, Toyah Wilcox...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I can imagine she'd be quite...
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'm sure she does something else other than her pop career,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43but I'd be lying if I could tell you what it is.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Kim Wilde is definitely a gardener. - Yeah, she's definitely a gardener.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49And she fits in. They're all obviously quite 80s, but...
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Are you thinking Kim Wilde?- Yeah.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58We're both aware that Kim Wilde is known now for gardening,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00so we'll go for Kim Wilde.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04OK, and you were born, I'm thinking, about 1980, you guys?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- A little bit earlier than that. - Late '70s.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11So you missed out Kim Wilde's pop career?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- I had the albums.- Did you?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- There's one called Close, I believe. - OK.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20But you've caught up correctly with the later part of her career.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22She is a gardener, it is Kim Wilde.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Well done, you're right.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Eggheads, in poetry,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28what does the word "gloaming" mean?
0:25:30 > 0:25:39"Roaming in the gloaming by the bonny banks of Clyde". It's the twilight.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Twilight is right.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Third question now. This could be crucial.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45You need to get this right, keep the pressure on.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50Northern Lights, for what does the letter "V" stand, in the computer abbreviation VOIP?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56HE MOUTHS
0:25:57 > 0:26:00VOIP. Hang on.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03You could have Voice Operated something, something...
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Yeah.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11I can't think they would have an acronym for a virus.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Not necessarily something that would be common. If it was...
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- If I'm thinking... No, you wouldn't, they'd just have daft names.- Yeah.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Could we just get the question again?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28For what does the letter "V" stand in the computer abbreviation VOIP?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Computer abbreviation?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Is it language? If it's a language a virus isn't a language, right,
0:26:37 > 0:26:38so we can count that out.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Voice? I don't think computer is necessarily...
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Well, a computer isn't going to be relying on a voice to run it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:53So...virtual, then. You can set up a computer to run a virtual model
0:26:53 > 0:26:57of something and it could perhaps use a language to run that model.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I'll go with whatever you go with. I'm not convinced either way.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07Virtual, by a very poor combination of process of elimination and guess.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09You started out with the right kind of logic.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12It's Voice Over Internet Protocol.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14So it's voice, it's not virtual.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Third question wrong, let's hope it's not terminal.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Eggheads, as what were the ancient Athenians
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Kallikrates and Iktinos well-known in their time?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Architects. Yeah. They were architects, Jeremy.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36If you get this question right, you've taken the money away
0:27:36 > 0:27:39from our great challengers here.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40You're sure about that, are you?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- They're responsible for the Parthenon.- It's always a bad sign
0:27:43 > 0:27:46when you say the answer while I'm still reading the question,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49before you see the choices.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Architects is correct.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Commiserations to you. The Eggheads have done
0:28:00 > 0:28:03what comes naturally to them. They still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000
0:28:07 > 0:28:10which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Eggheads, who will beat you?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:14 > 0:28:17have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19£6,000 says they don't.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Till then, goodbye.
