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?
0:00:22 > 0:00:28Hello, and welcome to the 500th edition of Eggheads, the show where
0:00:28 > 0:00:32a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against possibly
0:00:32 > 0:00:34the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37They are goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41They've certainly proved that over the last 500 editions.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43They are the Eggheads.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today are
0:00:46 > 0:00:48the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52The club was an idea hatched by the team in their local pub as a way of
0:00:52 > 0:00:57allowing them weekend passes away from their wives. Let's meet them.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello. I'm Andy, I'm 41, and I'm a company director.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello. I'm Chris, I'm a 45-year-old marketing consultant.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi. I'm Gavin, I'm 41, and I'm an HR consultant.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Jay, I'm 45, and I'm a managing director.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Hi, I'm Keith, I'm 48, a graphic designer and a retained firefighter.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18So, Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club, welcome to you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Of course, when I describe the weekend pass concept,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24mums across country throw crockery at the TV!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26They know what you're up to!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I think they've rumbled us, yes, Jeremy.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31But, officially, what does the club actually do?
0:01:31 > 0:01:36It's primary function is to help facilitate the gaining of passes from wives and partners
0:01:36 > 0:01:39to give us an excuse to go away to far-flung reaches of Europe,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43and, hopefully, one day, to the Copacabana, to play beach Frisbee.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48So you go onto beaches and you play Frisbee, and the shirts are designed to make it all look highly official?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Yeah. Having said that, the Frisbee playing hasn't even happened.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It tends to peter out at the first step.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00It's a special show for us - 500. We've had 2,000 head-to-heads,
0:02:00 > 0:02:05and you might be interested to know that 35 challenging teams have won in that time.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Does that sound like good odds to you?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Yeah, we'll take them. - OK, good luck.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14It's great to have you here on what is a special day for us.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16There is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23So, Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26the challengers won the last game, proving it can be done.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31That means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34First head-to-head battle is on music.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Who wants this?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I'll go for it, shall I? - El capitano?
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- Jeremy, I'll go for that one, thank you.- OK, Andy. Against which Egghead?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Now...- This is the original line-up,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50of course, the one that went through nearly all the programmes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Shall we take Kevin?- OK.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Um, I'll take Kevin, please.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01OK, Andy from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club, versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06To ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions in the question room.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10So, 500th show, Kevin. What do you think is the reason for
0:03:10 > 0:03:15the success of this show, without meaning to seem immodest about it?!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I think the main thing about it is it's pitched at a level that
0:03:18 > 0:03:23will appeal to many different groups. We find that all ages watch this,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and because of the range of different categories that we've got,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29there's something there for everybody, hopefully.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34And we love quizzing in this country. Andy, do you quiz together, you CBFCers?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39We quiz together very occasionally, and I mean once or twice a year,
0:03:39 > 0:03:40PTA quizzes and the like.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45We're not serious quizzers, but we're always up for a challenge and that's why we're here.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Let's see how you do against Kevin.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I'll ask each of you three questions on music in turn.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57So, Andy, you can chose the first or second set of questions.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58First, please, Jeremy.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Andy, here's your first question.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07High Fidelity, Starmaker and Friday Night were hits in the 1980s
0:04:07 > 0:04:11for the cast members of which TV drama series?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Well, I know Ant and Dec came from Byker Grove, and they had
0:04:19 > 0:04:25a few minor hits. Grange Hill had the very strong anti-drugs song.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31And being a teenager of the '80s, I'm embarrassed to say I did own
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- a pair of burgundy leg warmers, and it was Fame.- Fame is right.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Fame is the right answer, well done. So your question now, Kevin -
0:04:38 > 0:04:42The composer Joseph Haydn was born and died in which country?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46He was from Austria.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51You're quite right, he was. Back to you, Andy.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Silk And Steel was the title of a best-selling album
0:04:54 > 0:04:58by which group made up of members of the same family?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Mmm...
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I don't think it was Sister Sledge,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I've got an awful lot of Sister Sledge vinyl.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Something's telling me, again from the '80s, I think it's Five Star.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22I've got one Corrs CD. I don't really listen to it, to be honest with you.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Yes, Jeremy, I'm going to go with Five Star.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Well done, you've got it right, Five Star.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Kevin, your question.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36Which group did Carl Barat form after he left the Libertines?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Don't know.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Hmm.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Pete Doherty went on to Baby Shambles.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I'm trying to think how long the others might have been around.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Now, when would he have left the Libertines?
0:06:03 > 0:06:07For some reason I'm drawn to Dirty Pretty Things,
0:06:07 > 0:06:11but I'm just thinking they might have been around before the break up
0:06:11 > 0:06:12of the Libertines.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Because the Pigeon Detectives are the most recent of those,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I'm going to go for them.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Oh. Unhappiness on your team.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Daphne, you know your pop music.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Yeah. It's Dirty Pretty Things.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Kevin, it's Dirty Pretty Things. It's been confirmed by Daphne.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- My first instinct was right then. - Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37So, challengers, if you get this right,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39you've got the round.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Which character appears in repeated lines in the traditional folk song
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Widecombe Fair?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Get this right, you get Kevin out early on,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58which is always an amazing feat.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00That's the target.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I'll be honest with you, I don't know.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09So I'm going to try and work through these with some kind of logic.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12A fair? Who would go to a fair?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16A waggoner would.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19A poacher would because being on the wrong side of the law,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22he'd be looking for an angle, I suppose.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Having said that, I'm going to go for Uncle Tom Cobley.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Uncle Tom Cobley is your answer.
0:07:29 > 0:07:36- It is.- Kevin has won his last 52 entertainment rounds.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38If you know him out, you'd be making
0:07:38 > 0:07:43a little bit of history on this historic edition of Eggheads.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Is your answer right?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Old Uncle Tom Cobley...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50does appear in Widecombe Fair. Well done, Andy.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54And, Kevin,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I don't say this very often, you will not be in the final.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Please, both of you, come back and rejoin us here.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Well, Andy, you made it look easy there, but it's not, we know that.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08If I got Kevin's questions, I wouldn't have stood a chance.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09But I didn't, and I won.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13And you'll go back home and you'll listen to your Five Star album now.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- Maybe not.- OK, as it stands, the challengers have lost no brains from the final round.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20The Eggheads have lost one. The next subject is science.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Which of the challengers wants science, and against which Egghead?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Well...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31It was going to be me or Jay, wasn't it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Go for it.- You'll be all right.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36It's between you two, then.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I'll do science?- Are you sure?!
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Are you sure? Only if you're sure.- OK.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- Yeah, I'll do it. - Jay, please.- Against?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Anyone but Kevin.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- It's got to be Judith. - Judith, please.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Right, Jay from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club
0:08:53 > 0:08:55against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59And to ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Judith, science has been hit and miss for you, hasn't it?- It is.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07I think it's been win one, lose one, win one, in that sort of order.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09You've been worrying about science and you've been
0:09:09 > 0:09:12reading the periodic table. Have you got to the end of it yet?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well, it sort of sits in front of you,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18rather like an atlas, a map would do.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19And I try and remember.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21It's all pretty colours.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Pink and green and yellow and things.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And this being our 500th show, Judith,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30just take something like the periodic table, comes up a lot?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Yes.- If you know that, you can answer a lot in science?
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Yeah, it's the basis of chemistry, really, it's the table which tells you all about chemistry.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Let's see how you both do. Jay,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I can ask whether you want the first or second set of questions now.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I will go first.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Here we go. Reverend John Russell was responsible for developing
0:09:54 > 0:09:59a now popular new breed of which animal in the 19th century?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Well, erm...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I have one of each of these, actually,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10not that that helps me at all.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Cat... Whilst I have one,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I don't know anything about them.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Goldfish, ditto.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Russell, I can only assume...
0:10:24 > 0:10:29that his first name was Jack, and it was the Jack Russell dog.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31So I will go for dog.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36The clue was in the question, you're quite right. Jack Russell, dog.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Judith, your question.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42In geometry, how many degrees are there
0:10:42 > 0:10:46in each internal angle of an equilateral triangle?
0:10:50 > 0:10:5260.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54You're right. 60.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Over to you, Jay.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01The Italian-born French astronomer Giovanni Cassini
0:11:01 > 0:11:04gave his name to the division he discovered
0:11:04 > 0:11:08between sets of what around the planet Saturn?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Moons, asteroids, rings...
0:11:16 > 0:11:24The only thing I know about Saturn... relate to rings.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31So that is my only point of reference on this one.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I will go for rings.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35And rings is right.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Well done.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Judith, your question.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Galvanised steel is steel coated
0:11:42 > 0:11:46with which other element to prevent corrosion?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I think that is zinc.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Your answer is zinc?- Mm.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58And you're right. Playing a good round here, both of you.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Third question now.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Jay, which number is represented in international Morse code
0:12:06 > 0:12:08by five dashes?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Five dashes?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I think Morse code...
0:12:26 > 0:12:32Obviously, one of the things that was required of it was that it was
0:12:32 > 0:12:35quick...quick to send.
0:12:37 > 0:12:45I would have thought the number ten...would have a shorter code
0:12:45 > 0:12:49for that because that's going to be used quite often.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Would 100 be used less, generally?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I could be completely off on this, but...
0:13:03 > 0:13:05..I'm going to go for 100.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I follow the logic completely, I see where you were going,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12but you haven't got the right answer, I'm afraid, it's zero.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Which means, Judith, if you get this question right,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17then you've won the head to head.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20The Saros cycle,
0:13:20 > 0:13:26with a period of about 18 years, 11 days and eight hours,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28is used to predict what?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I think earthquakes are unpredictable.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38And so are typhoons, aren't they?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I would imagine it must be eclipses,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- which are predictable.- Eclipses?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Yeah.- That's the correct answer.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Bad luck to you, Jay, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Please, both of you, come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from
0:14:01 > 0:14:04the final round, and the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08The next subject is film and television. Who wants this?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Big fella? - Who is stepping into the breach?
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- That will be me, Jeremy, please. - Gavin, OK. Against?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Who do we fancy?- What do we think?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Who do we think?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Go for Chris?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Chris?- No, he's quite good at that.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Daphne. Daphne.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Daphne, please, Jeremy.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Gavin from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club
0:14:33 > 0:14:37against Daphne from the Eggheads. Please, go to the question room.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43All right, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on film and television in turn.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47You've done a few of these over our 500, haven't you, Daphne?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48I certainly have.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Do you look back and think the show
0:14:50 > 0:14:54has really developed and it's changed your life in some way?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Oh, it's certainly changed my life.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- And you get e-mails from around the world, I gather?- Oh, I do.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Australia, New Zealand, Czech Republic,
0:15:03 > 0:15:09- USA, Canada. Everywhere!- Gavin, you lived in Australia, yeah?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Yeah, a few years ago. - And can you understand why Eggheads would be big Down Under?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I think they have a similar quiz culture to us in the UK.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20OK, Gavin, would you like the first set of questions or the second set?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22First, please, Jeremy.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Here's your question.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Good luck. In Only Fools And Horses,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32what was the name of the car salesman married to Marlene?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Right. Well, I don't think it was Baxie.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Or Biggsie. And, in fact, I do know it was Boycie.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Boycie it was. Well done.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Daphne, here's your question.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54The film Cat Ballou, starring Jane Fonda,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57was originally released in which decade?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04You know I hate dates!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I have no idea.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08I just can't...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I know the film, I know who was in it.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15But I've no idea when it came out.
0:16:17 > 0:16:1970s.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Usually, Daphne, you do your "I've got no idea" routine
0:16:24 > 0:16:27and you guess, unerringly, the right answer,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and I'm shocked to tell you that you're wrong.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Oh, bother.- I rarely see your guessing misfiring.- Was it 60s?
0:16:33 > 0:16:3560s is the right answer!
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Not 1970s.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The 500th edition has thrown you.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Your second question, Gavin - Which actress played the character
0:16:43 > 0:16:48Joey Potter in the TV series Dawson's Creek?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Right. Oops.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01I have to admit, Jeremy, that I've never seen Dawson's Creek,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04but, hopefully, can make an educated guess.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Sarah Michelle Geller, I think, was Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Shannon Doherty, I think,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12was in Beverly Hills nine something or other.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So I'm going to go for Katie Holmes, but it is a guess.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18You're a quizzer at heart, you've got it right.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Fantastic.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26Daphne, you need to get this question correct to stay in.
0:17:26 > 0:17:33Here we go. Clint Eastwood played the role of Frankie Dunn in which 2004 film?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Oh, God, I don't know this either!
0:17:45 > 0:17:52You see, I haven't seen any of these, and I've no idea of the year.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58So it makes it pretty much an eenie, meenie, minie mo answer.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Oh, dear.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04I shall go for...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06SHE SIGHS DEEPLY ..Space Cowboys.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Space Cowboys is your answer.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Daphne, sorry, it's wrong, it's Million Dollar Baby.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16So, Gavin, well done! Very efficient work.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21How about that? The Frisbee Club is showing what it's made of here.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26You took on an Egghead, you beat Daphne, she won't be in the final, you will be.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Please, come back to us now.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36So, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39There are £1,000 to play for. Last subject is geography.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Who, from the challengers,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44will be playing in this round,
0:18:44 > 0:18:45and who would you like to take on?
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Keithy boy is going to fall on his sword.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Keith, please, Jeremy.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Keith, our graphic designer.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56You've got CJ or Chris.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Who looks lost? Who looks disorientated?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Who looks like they're mapless?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It's CJ, isn't it?
0:19:11 > 0:19:18Yeah. OK, it's CJ. So it's Keith from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22And to ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions.
0:19:22 > 0:19:28CJ, the 500th show, and you've loved every minute.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Most of the minutes. I haven't loved those ones where I've lost, so I've enjoyed about a quarter of the show.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36But you've met great people and you are a very good loser.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40When you lose, and it all goes wrong, you take it in good heart,
0:19:40 > 0:19:41you don't get depressed.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Well, I've had enough practice, so hopefully by now.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46OK. Good luck to you both.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I'll ask each of you three questions on geography in turn.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Keith, would you like the first set of questions or the second set?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Can I have the first set, please?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Here we go. Which part of New York City is
0:20:00 > 0:20:03most famous for its amusement park?
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I think...it's not Yonkers.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16I believe I saw a film with this on.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I believe it's Coney Island.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Coney Island is correct. Well done.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Over to you, CJ.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31500th show.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Try to look happy.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- JEREMY LAUGHS - After which character
0:20:37 > 0:20:41is the main airport serving Doncaster and Sheffield named?
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Oh.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I'm just having a moment of doubt.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Yeah, it would make more sense if it was Nottingham.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01But I think Doncaster's Robin Hood.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03That's right, it is Robin Hood.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Well done.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07OK, Keith.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Which civilisation built Fosse Way, a road running from near Exeter
0:21:12 > 0:21:15through Bath to Lincoln?
0:21:23 > 0:21:28Obviously, the Romans are very famous for their roads.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Also, we have Roman baths.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34So I'm going to go for the Romans, Jeremy.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Great answer, you're right.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45CJ, your question. Willapa Bay is a feature of which county
0:21:45 > 0:21:47of the US state of Washington?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02So, counties within a state now we are going to? Wonderful.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- The Eggheads are laughing.- I'm not.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Oh, of course.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10How are we spelling Willapa?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12W-I-L-L-A-P-A.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I'm not going to go for Cheese County.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Pacific County just seems a little too obvious to me.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I don't know this, but I am going to employ that old quizzing axiom -
0:22:25 > 0:22:28if you don't know, it's an antelope.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30So, I'm going to go for Antelope County.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- JEREMY LAUGHS - OK. Antelope County is your answer.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39The correct answer is Pacific County.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41All right, question three.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Get this right, Keith, you're in the final and CJ isn't.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46And he might be a bit glum.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50The Kingdom of Kandy, K-A-N-D-Y, is a former name
0:22:50 > 0:22:54for a region of which modern-day country?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Now...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I don't really know this, I'm afraid.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I don't think it's New Zealand.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I don't think it's Indonesia.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I think it's Sri Lanka, Jeremy.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Just from instinct?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Pure instinct.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23CJ, why have you started waving?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Cos Sri Lanka is, unfortunately, the right answer.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31It is, fortunately for our Frisbee Club, the right answer.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Well done to you, Keith.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35You are in the final. You took on one of our Eggheads,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39you emerged triumphant. Bad luck, CJ. It was the old antelope rule.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Never use that again. Congratulations, Keith.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51So, it's time for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:54 > 0:23:56won't be joining your teams in the final round.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01Jay, from the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club and Kevin,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05CJ and Daphne from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12So, we've had 2,000 head-to-heads in the history of Eggheads.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Our 500th edition and here we have a challenging team
0:24:15 > 0:24:18that's doing very well indeed. Andy, Chris, Gavin and Keith,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22you are playing to win the Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club £1,000.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Judith and Chris, you are playing for something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Slightly depleted crew today.
0:24:28 > 0:24:34As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37The questions are general knowledge, you are allowed to confer.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40So, Cottenham Beach Frisbee Club, the question is
0:24:40 > 0:24:42are your four brains better than the Eggheads' two?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44So Andy, Chris, Gavin and Keith,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48would you like to go first or second?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50First please, Jeremy.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Here we go.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Established in 1939, Little League is an international organisation
0:24:59 > 0:25:02for children and teenagers playing which sport?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- It's baseball. - It is baseball, isn't it?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13It's baseball, Jeremy.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Baseball is the right answer.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Eggheads, your question.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21In traditional Punch and Judy shows, what is the name of the dog?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- It's Toby, Jeremy.- Toby is correct.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30"Oh, poor Toby's dead!"
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Toby's right, well done.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Second question to you guys.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37In England, the Queen's Proctor is an official who performs
0:25:37 > 0:25:41certain activities commensurate with those of what profession?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- Surgeon?- Surgeon, do we think?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Surgeon, Jeremy.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Your answer is surgeon?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00The correct answer is solicitor.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02The Queen's Proctor is solicitor.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05OK, Eggheads. Your chance to pull ahead.
0:26:05 > 0:26:12Lorelei, famous for its echo and its association with a water nymph
0:26:12 > 0:26:16who lured sailors to destruction,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19is a large rock on the bank at the narrows of which river?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24It's on the Rhine, Jeremy.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Near Bingham, if memory serves.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33The answer is Rhine and you are correct, Eggheads. So...
0:26:33 > 0:26:36here's the deal, guys - you need to get this question right.
0:26:36 > 0:26:42Which American singer was dubbed the first lady of song?
0:26:47 > 0:26:52My first thought is Ella Fitzgerald. But now Billie Holiday has come in...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55It's definitely not Washington, is it?
0:26:55 > 0:26:56- Don't you think?- Do you think it is?
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Have you got a fix on the ages and the periods?
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday are the same period.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Billie Holiday first and then Ella Fitzgerald.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13No, it's got to be Billie Holiday.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15She is first.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Yeah, but she wasn't known as the First Lady.- Who was, then?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Billie Holiday was known as, erm...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25She had a different handle.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26So, who do we think?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- I think it's Washington.- OK.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I haven't a clue.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Only because I think the other two have got different...
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Handles.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39You call them.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40OK.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46We're not sure, Jeremy, as you can probably tell. Um...
0:27:46 > 0:27:49We don't think it's Billie Holiday, she has another name.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51For the life of us, we can't remember it.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54We think it's Dinah Washington.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56But we're really not sure.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58The answer, I'm sorry to tell you this,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01is Ella Fitzgerald.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03So, the last couple of questions
0:28:03 > 0:28:04have not been kind to you
0:28:04 > 0:28:08and that means Eggheads, congratulations, you've won.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Commiserations to our challengers. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20They reign supreme over Quizland once again.
0:28:20 > 0:28:26You won't be taking the £1,000, so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Who will beat you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34£2,000 says they don't.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Till then, goodbye.
