0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:13 > 0:00:15quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Hello, and welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35You may know them, as they are Goliaths of TV quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:43are Egg Traffic Control. The team are all software engineers
0:00:43 > 0:00:46for a company which provides air traffic control services to planes
0:00:46 > 0:00:51flying in UK airspace and the North Atlantic. It's fascinating stuff.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm Giles.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm 29 and I'm a software engineer.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Ed.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I'm 33. I'm a software engineer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Mark. I'm 41 and I'm a software engineer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Mick.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm 40 and I'm a software engineer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Simon. I'm 33 and I'm also a software engineer.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Welcome to you, Egg Traffic Control.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Thank you.- And Giles, tell us what you actually all do.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Right, we're all software engineers and we work
0:01:22 > 0:01:26on air traffic control simulators, which are copies of the real system.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Our simulators are used for research and development
0:01:30 > 0:01:34of new tools and procedures, and they're also used for training
0:01:34 > 0:01:35new air traffic controllers.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Our skies are busy, aren't they?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Busiest in the world.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Yes. So we need you and your brilliant software work.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Anyway, more mundane matters.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Every day, £1,000 is up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, it rolls over to the next show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Egg Traffic Control, the Eggheads have won the last
0:01:54 > 0:02:00five games, which means £6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The first battle will be on music.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Which challenger wants this?- I think that's an easy one, isn't it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07- Yes.- Mick.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Mick on music? Software engineer?- Yes.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I can just keep saying "software engineer"! Can't get it wrong!
0:02:14 > 0:02:15And which Egghead?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Who are we gonna take on? - Who's the bum note?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19One of the strong players.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- We could try Barry. - Yes.- An unknown quantity.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Yeah.- Barry.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27OK, Barry. They've got you on the radar.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30So it's Mick from Egg Traffic Control versus Barry
0:02:30 > 0:02:33from the Eggheads. And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Mick, good luck.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Thank you.- Would you like first or second set of questions?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I think I'll go first, please.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Your first question. Circle Of Life and Hakuna Matata
0:02:50 > 0:02:52are songs from which musical?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Having two small children who love Disney,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I'm going to have to say it's The Lion King.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06And you're absolutely right.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07APPLAUSE
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Your children are what age?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Five and seven.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Lovely. Barry, over to you.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Take A Bow was a UK hit single for which singer in 2008?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Haven't a clue. This'll be a straightforward guess.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I know Rihanna did Umbrella, so I'm hoping she didn't have another hit,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33because Umbrella was in the charts for quite a long time.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Estelle featured with Kanye West, I think,
0:03:36 > 0:03:41on some track, so on that basis alone, I'm going to go for Jamelia.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Jamelia is wrong, Barry.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- It's Rihanna!- Ah.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Over to you, Mick.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53In which British city was the band Electric Light Orchestra formed?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I should know this because this was about the '80s,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03when I was very much into Radio One and suchlike.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I don't think it was Manchester and I don't think it was Liverpool,
0:04:07 > 0:04:13so I'm going to have a semi-educated guess at Birmingham.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16You're absolutely right. Birmingham is the answer.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Barry, your question.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Pennsylvania Six-5000 and Chattanooga Choo Choo
0:04:22 > 0:04:26are songs particularly associated with which bandleader?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Well, I'm surprisingly not quite old enough to remember
0:04:33 > 0:04:37the big band era but those two were definitely Glenn Miller.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Yep, you got it right.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Glenn Miller it is.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43So third question, Mick. If you get it right
0:04:43 > 0:04:46you've taken the round and Barry won't play in the final. Here we go.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Count Almaviva and Rosina
0:04:51 > 0:04:53are characters in which opera?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01OK, I know very little about opera.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It is a pure guess...
0:05:05 > 0:05:08..I'm afraid. Let's go with the Barber Of Seville.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Pure guess?- Yes.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Barry knows what's happened now!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Barry?- Same again. I've known all of his questions
0:05:15 > 0:05:17and of course he got it totally right.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19He's got it right. Well done.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Excellent.- Thank you.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24So Barry won't play in the final round.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27He's off to revise on those female singers,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29and you'll help the challengers in the final,
0:05:29 > 0:05:30so do come back to us now.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35As it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39while the Eggheads have lost one brain. The next subject is sport.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Who from the challengers wants to play this round?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- I think we know. - Our strongest player...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Definitely Ed.- It's got to be Ed. - OK, yeah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Ed?- Yeah. - A software engineer, I think.- Yes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55- Right again.- I just guessed. Totally guessed. Who against?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Chris.- Go for Chris?- Yeah. Yep.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58- We'll go for Chris.- Yeah.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03OK, Ed from Egg Traffic Control versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Ed, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Second, please, Jeremy.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18So, Chris. Your question on your beloved sport.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Pah!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Who became the manager, Chris, of Blackburn Rovers football team
0:06:23 > 0:06:25in June 2008?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I think there was a wee bit of controversy about the appointment
0:06:32 > 0:06:35of Paul Ince to something or other, so I'll guess at Paul Ince.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38That's right.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42So your question now, Ed.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47What is the nationality of the tennis player, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I think I know the answer to this one.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55He's French.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57He is indeed French.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Well done.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Good knowledge.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06Chris, Adrian Sutil is a famous name in which sport?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I've never heard it in connection with snooker
0:07:14 > 0:07:17and I've never heard it in connection with motor racing.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22And you just never hear of badminton, so I'll guess at badminton.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Badminton is wrong, Chris.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It's motor racing.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29So a stirring of excitement on the radar here.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31They're in with a chance.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Knocking out another Egghead.
0:07:33 > 0:07:39OK. William Kipsang and Khalid Khannouchi
0:07:39 > 0:07:42are top competitors in which athletic discipline?
0:07:47 > 0:07:52I think Khannouchi is Kenyan, and the Kenyans are very good
0:07:52 > 0:07:55at middle-distance and long-distance running.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Yes, I'm pretty sure it's marathon.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02And you're right on that as well. It is the marathon. Good play!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Chris, if you get this one wrong, then you will not be in the final.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13Niblick is the nickname given to which golf club?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Not a nine iron, I don't think.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26It's one of these special-purpose clubs,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30so I presume that's for blasting balls out of bunkers
0:08:30 > 0:08:33and it's a sand wedge.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Brilliant logic, you've used. Absolutely fantastic.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Wrong.- And completely wrong. The correct answer is... Barry?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I think it's a nine iron.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It is a nine iron. That means well done, Ed.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48You've taken the round. You will be helping your team in the final.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates now.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57So, currently, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00You're playing a storming game so far, gentlemen.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03The Eggheads have lost two brains and they look shattered.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06The next subject is arts and books.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Who from the challengers would like arts and books?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- I think we know who that is.- Giles. - Leave it to you, Giles.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Giles. Which Egghead?
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Right. We weren't sure on this. - Judith?- I think so, yeah.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Your choice.- Is that all right? Yeah.- Judith reads a lot.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- I do, yes. I do. - And people read to you, or?
0:09:25 > 0:09:30- No, I haven't got to that stage yet, Jeremy, thank you.- OK.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35It's Giles from Egg Traffic Control versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Take your positions.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Giles, would you like the first set of questions or the second set?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'll go for the first set, please.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48OK, here's your first question.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Who wrote the 1939 crime novel "The Big Sleep"?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59The Big Sleep?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Right. I don't know it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07I've never heard of James Ellroy.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I've heard of Raymond Chandler.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12He's famous for Catcher In the Rye, I think.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17I've heard of Elmore Leonard but I don't know what books he wrote.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22So I'll go for Elmore Leonard.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24That's wrong.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28The correct answer is Raymond Chandler, Giles.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Over to you, Judith. What term is used to describe
0:10:33 > 0:10:36a ballet dancer's ability to ascend
0:10:36 > 0:10:41without apparent effort and to land smoothly and softly?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Well, brise means broken in French.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Ballon is a balloon.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I think it might be ballon, if the ballon's a balloon,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00because it's light and it floats.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- I don't know, actually.- But you do know, because ballon is correct.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Well done.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08So one point to Judith. Giles, none to you.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10See if you can catch up.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15"Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments"
0:11:15 > 0:11:18is the opening line of a poem by which writer?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Right.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Again, I don't know this one.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Milton is famous for Paradise Lost, among others.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Percy Shelley, I've heard of him but I'm not sure what he wrote.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It does sound...
0:11:42 > 0:11:45The wording sounds vaguely Shakespearean,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48so I'll go for Shakespeare.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Nice one. Spot on.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Well done!
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Was that a sonnet, Judith? What was it?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I don't know. Is it? I was trying to think.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I think it might be a sonnet.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- It is a sonnet.- It's not a play. It's one of his poems.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- It's a sonnet.- Yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11Judith, Jean-Antoine Watteau and Francois Boucher
0:12:11 > 0:12:15are two of the best-known exponents of which painting style?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Fauvism and Pointillism are much, much later.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's Rococo.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Rococo is correct.- Yeah.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Giles, I know the pressure's on you.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33If you don't get this, you won't join your colleagues in the final.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Your question.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Which Patrick McCabe novel tells the story of Francie Brady
0:12:38 > 0:12:43and his struggles with his alcoholic father and depressive mother?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I'm getting really bad questions, I think!
0:12:52 > 0:12:57Can I have another three? I've no idea.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Because he's...
0:12:59 > 0:13:02The character is obviously a son of the two parents,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I'm going to go for "The Butcher Boy".
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Your answer is right. Well done.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16You've just got that sense of where to guess, and it's impressive.
0:13:16 > 0:13:23Judith. Serious Money, A Number and Drunk Enough To Say I Love You
0:13:23 > 0:13:27are dramatic works by which British playwright?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I'm sure it's not Tom Stoppard.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40I think it's most likely to be Patrick Marber,
0:13:40 > 0:13:41out of the other two.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Patrick Marber is your answer?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Yeah. Wrong?
0:13:46 > 0:13:47It is wrong!
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It's Caryl Churchill.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I should have known that.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56So, on her strongest subject, you've managed to force it to sudden death,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58and anything can happen now. Well done. Here we go.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Not multiple-choice, Giles. Here's your question.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Study Of A Baboon and Study From The Human Body
0:14:04 > 0:14:09are paintings by which Irish-born 20th-century artist?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Right. I've been swotting up
0:14:14 > 0:14:19on art for the last week or two but I haven't come across these two works.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I'm going to try and think of an Irish 20th-century painter.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28At the moment I can't think of any.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32OK, complete guess because I can't think of any Irish
0:14:32 > 0:14:3520th-century painters, I'll go for
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Aubrey Beardsley. I think he might be too early but I'll go for him anyway.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- Aubrey Beardsley? Is that your answer?- Yeah.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- It's Francis Bacon.- Ah!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Judith, if you get this right, you've taken the round
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- and you're in the final.- Oh, don't!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56"At the age of 15, my grandmother became the concubine
0:14:56 > 0:14:58"of a warlord general"
0:14:58 > 0:15:03is the first line of which award-winning 1991 novel?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Oh, I think that must be Wild Swans, isn't it?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- It is, by Jung Chang. - Yeah.- You're right.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Well done. You've taken the round on sudden death.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16It's Wild Swans. Giles, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19It's a subject she's very strong in, and you won't be able to help
0:15:19 > 0:15:21your team in the final round.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24So please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28So you've lost a brain now, challengers.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31The last subject is science.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Which of the challengers wants to play this?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- If you want it, go for it. - I'll take it.- Yeah?- Please.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38- Simon? OK.- We'll put Simon through.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Who do you want to go for? - Go for broke?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Shall we try and get rid of Kevin? - Might as well.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47He's pretty good on science, so we'll go for Kevin?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49We'll try Kevin.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53I love the phrase, "Shall we try and get rid of Kevin?"
0:15:53 > 0:15:57So, Simon from Egg Traffic Control versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01So there's no conferring, take your positions in the question room.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07Kevin, you've played this 17 times, and won 17.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11All good things come to an end. Sooner or later it'll happen, so...
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Always so disarmingly modest.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Simon, good luck.- Thank you.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17So would you like the first set of questions or second?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I'd like to go first, please.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Here we go. In a laboratory,
0:16:24 > 0:16:29what name is given to a container in which ores or metals are melted?
0:16:34 > 0:16:38OK, well, a burette is a sort of measuring device,
0:16:38 > 0:16:39for measuring out liquid.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I'm not entirely sure what a chemostat is.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45But I'm fairly sure the answer is crucible.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Crucible is the right answer.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Kevin, what kind of creature is a pipit?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Is that P I P E T? Oh, sorry...
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- P I P I T?- P I P I T.- It's a bird.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08As in tawny pipit and others.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- What sort of bird is it?- Small.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- A small one? What, flies, does it? - Yeah. Wings, that sort of thing.- OK.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18That's the correct answer, a bird.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Simon, here's your next question.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Approximately how long does it take Saturn
0:17:24 > 0:17:27to make a complete orbit of the sun?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Hmm, OK. That's a tricky one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38OK, well, Saturn's further out than Jupiter,
0:17:38 > 0:17:44sp I'm going to have a sort of educated guess and say 30 years.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47You're right. 30 years it is.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Kevin, over to you.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51In the human body,
0:17:51 > 0:17:56by what name is the zygomatic bone more commonly known?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03That's the cheekbone, Jeremy.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07That is the cheekbone. Well done, Kevin.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Question three to you, Simon.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14Chlorine and astatine belong to which chemical group
0:18:14 > 0:18:16on the periodic table?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24OK.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It's not alkali metals.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Actinoids I've not really heard of.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35So I'm going to have a stab at halogens.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Halogens is your answer?- Yes.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Just cos it's the one you can't rule out?- Pretty much.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Always a good way of doing it, and you're right.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Halogens is correct.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51In plate tectonics, Kevin, what is the name of the small plate
0:18:51 > 0:18:56which lies between the South American and the Antarctic plates?
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Now that I don't know. That is...that is tough.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12I'll rule out Cocos on the basis that... I don't know...
0:19:12 > 0:19:16The Cocos Islands aren't sufficiently in that area, I don't think. Hm, no.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Juan de Fuca was a Spanish explorer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25He gave his name to a strait up on the north-western
0:19:25 > 0:19:29coast of America, up towards the American/Canadian border.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31But that's not to say that
0:19:31 > 0:19:34other places couldn't be named after him as well.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39And the Scotia Plate could have been named after the...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I mean, that's quite possible
0:19:41 > 0:19:45because a number of Antarctic explorers were Scots that...
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'm... Yeah.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Sorry, guys, but I'm gonna go for Juan de Fuca Plate,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55but it could very well be Scotia.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I'm afraid you're wrong.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00The correct answer is Scotia Plate.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05So, played 17, won 17, is now played 18, won 17.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09And you've done it, Simon. You've taken out the most powerful Egghead
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- on science, which he's very, very good on. Well done...- Thank you.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16..to the challengers, cos you will play with them in the final
0:20:16 > 0:20:19and Kevin, you won't join in the final. You'll sit that out.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Both of you come back to us and rejoin your teams.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25This is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I'm afraid those who lost your rounds won't be allowed
0:20:31 > 0:20:34to take part in this round, so Giles from Egg Traffic Control,
0:20:34 > 0:20:40and Chris, Barry and Kevin from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47So, Ed, Mark, Mick and Simon, you're playing to win Egg Traffic Control
0:20:47 > 0:20:50£6,000, with Giles looking on at the back, there.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Judith and CJ, you're playing for something that money can't buy it...
0:20:54 > 0:20:56the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01The questions are all general knowledge.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05You are allowed to confer. So Egg Traffic Control, radar's on.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11The question is, are your four brains better than Eggheads' two?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Ed, Mark, Mick and Simon, do you want to go first or second?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- First?- I think we should go first. - I'm guessing first.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18First, please, Jeremy.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Your question, and good luck, guys.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Who played the twin of Eric Sykes's character in the TV sitcom Sykes?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- I've got no idea. - It isn't Bella Emberg...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- No.- because that was Russ Abbott.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- I think it was Hattie Jacques. - I think so.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45We think it's Hattie Jacques, Jeremy.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Hattie Jacques is correct. Good bit of knowledge to have.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51You don't want to get the first one wrong.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52OK, Eggheads.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55What is the name of the Earthling protagonist
0:21:55 > 0:21:57of The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy,
0:21:57 > 0:22:03who is saved from death by Ford Prefect at the start of the book?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11You can say it.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13It's Arthur Dent.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15That's the correct answer. Well done.
0:22:16 > 0:22:23Egg Traffic Control, on a standard mobile phone keypad, which number
0:22:23 > 0:22:25features the letters M, N and O?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Don't reach for yours now.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33ABC is three.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- You've got ABC...- All three.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- It's two, isn't it, ABC?- Oh, is it?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Three, DEF.- Yeah.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Four, GHI. JKL is five.- Yeah.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- So...- And MNO is six. - We'll go for six.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- We're going for six? - I think, yeah. That's fine.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Six. We'll go for six, Jeremy.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54The answer is six. Well done.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Well done.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59OK, Eggheads.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04John Frost and William Lovett were leaders of which political movement?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I don't think they were the Radical Whigs.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I don't think it's the Radical Whigs. I agree with you there.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20And I don't know anything about the Reform League
0:23:20 > 0:23:22but I do know something about the Chartists,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27and I'm trying to remember what their main leader was called.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29And I know the name William Lovett.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Going between the other two, I'm not sure.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Oh, why can't I remember who the main leader of the Chartists was?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Oh, dear. - Let's go for the Chartists.- OK.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47OK, you've gone for the Chartists.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Chartists is right. Well done.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Two points each. Over to Egg Traffic Control.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- They're not going to make it easy for you!- No!
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Your third question.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58What is the name of the IBM supercomputer which became
0:23:58 > 0:24:01the fastest in the world in June 2008,
0:24:01 > 0:24:06achieving a speed of 1.026 petaflops?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Unfortunately, despite the fact that we're engineers...
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I've never heard of it either.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- I think Deep Blue won the chess... - That's right.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22I'm going to guess Blue Gene, if we have to choose one of those.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- It's a guess...- It sounds like a historical thing,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26going through the...
0:24:26 > 0:24:30You know, the genetics of the breed of computers, so...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- So... And it's got the blue. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I can't think of a reason to pick anything else.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36No.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40OK, we're going to go for Blue Gene, Jeremy.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44You're software engineers, the question is on computers,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47and you don't know the answer.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- And you've had to guess it. And you've guessed wrong.- Oh!- Oh no!
0:24:51 > 0:24:55I know exactly what you were associating it with.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Deep Blue, when?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58They were thinking of Deep Blue and Deeper Blue,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01the chess computers that played Garry Kasparov.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- It's Roadrunner.- Roadrunner!
0:25:03 > 0:25:04So, £6,000 will be snatched away.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09If you get this question right, Eggheads, you've got it.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Kitty Hawk was the name given to the command module
0:25:13 > 0:25:16of which Apollo space mission?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- It's not...- It wasn't a moon landing. - Well, they're all moon landings.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29But it's not Apollo 11. That's... Eagle and something else.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30The Eagle has landed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Yeah, but the commanding one doesn't land.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35It's the one that stays in orbit.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39But I don't think it's Kitty Hawk. It's something else, I think.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Oh, hold on. Here's an idea.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47Apollo the 17th, the landing was December the 19th.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50The Kitty Hawk flight was December the 17th, 1903.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I wonder if the dates are...
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Wanna go on the date, rather than that?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55The answer we're going to offer,
0:25:55 > 0:25:59simply based on the dates, is Apollo 17.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03OK. If you get this question right, you have taken the contest.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05But you've got it wrong!
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- The right answer is Apollo 14.- Ah.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10We move off multiple-choice. It's sudden death.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Which American portrait photographer was responsible for the notorious
0:26:14 > 0:26:181991 Vanity Fair cover that featured a naked,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20heavily-pregnant Demi Moore?
0:26:22 > 0:26:23I remember the photo.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26I distinctly remember it. It was very famous.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Couldn't tell you the photographer's name.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- The photographer...- No.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32What does Getty do?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- John Paul Getty.- There's the Getty...
0:26:35 > 0:26:39a website, isn't there, that has all the photos on, of...
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- Yeah.- Give it a try.- Give it a try.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Yeah?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49OK, we're going to have a bit of a guess. We're going to try Getty.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50John Paul Getty.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53John Paul Getty. Eggheads, do you know?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Annie Leibovitz.- Annie Leibovitz. - Annie Leibovitz is the answer.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02So, Eggheads, if you get this right, you have taken the contest.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Reno Sweeney and Moonface Martin
0:27:06 > 0:27:09are characters in which musical by Cole Porter?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11They sound like gangsters.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16I believe Reno Martin's something to do with gambling, and Anything Goes.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Is that a gambling... Is it about gambling?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I don't know. It rather suggests that by the title, doesn't it?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- And it's certainly Cole Porter. - Yes, certainly Cole Porter.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Do you know the plot?- No. No, sorry.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- And it's about gambling? - Well, I don't know that, but...
0:27:31 > 0:27:35the song Anything Goes is all about permissive society, isn't it?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- OK, let's do it, then.- Yes?- Mmm.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40We are not sure.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41We're going to try Anything Goes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45You're not sure and you're going to try Anything Goes.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48If you got this right, it's the end of the Egg Traffic Control's
0:27:48 > 0:27:50brilliant, brilliant outing on Eggheads.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52If you get it wrong, we play on.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57The answer is...Anything Goes. Congratulations Eggheads.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59You've won.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Oh, phew.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Egg Traffic Control, you ran them very close.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- You came very near.- Mmm.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11But unfortunately, the £6,000 won't be yours today.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16The Eggheads did what's natural to them. Not that natural today!
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Their winning streak continues. I'm afraid you won't be going home
0:28:20 > 0:28:22with the money, so it rolls on to our next show.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Eggheads, congratulations. Who will ever beat you?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:27 > 0:28:30have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32£7,000 says they don't.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Until then, goodbye.
