0:00:04 > 0:00:09These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:17arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where the team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36You might recognize them, as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And challenging our resident quiz champions today are
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Dramarama from Buckinghamshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47The team came together through a love of quizzing and amateur dramatics,
0:00:47 > 0:00:53and each year attend a quiz run by the Ballinger Players Amateur Dramatics group. Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Brian. I'm 38 and I'm an IT consultant.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Sarah. I'm 44 and I'm a managing director.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm David. I'm 28 and I'm a journalist.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello, my name's Lindy. I'm 47, and I'm a mum at home.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Pete. I'm 46 and I'm an credit controller.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Love the team name.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15And tell me, first of all, about the acting, then, and the theatre.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18All on stage, or do you do different things?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Some of us are performers and some are purely there for moral support.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24And what applies to you, Brian?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Definitely the moral support.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29What productions have you been putting on?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Mostly comedies.- Uh-huh.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I've been involved in that group since I was 17.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- And my mum is now in it. - OK, well, mostly comedies.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Let's hope this is a tragedy for the Eggheads. Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51So, Dramarama, I mention tragedy...
0:01:51 > 0:01:55the challengers won the last game, proving it CAN be done.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Look at those glum Eggheads. That means £1,000 says
0:01:59 > 0:02:01you can't beat the Eggheads. OK,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04the first head-to-head battle is on Politics. Who'd like to play?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07It can be any one of you at this stage.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Do you want me to go on first, or not?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- I don't.- Me? Me? Yup.- David. - Looks like me.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15OK, David, which Egghead would you like to play?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Judith? I'll take on Judith, please.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22All right. To make sure there's no conferring, David, could I ask you both to go to the question room.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- So, David, are you an actor or a supporter?- I'm a supporter.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31Ah, I see, and any particular skills you bring to it?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Yeah, I turn up for the Ballinger quiz night.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- And how do you do in that? - We usually finish second.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Oh. You don't want to finish second here. There's only two teams in it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I think that could be a potential problem.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- OK, would you like to go first or second?- First.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53OK, best of luck, David, first question to you. Between 1919
0:02:53 > 0:02:58and 1933, the Weimar Republic was the government of which country?
0:03:02 > 0:03:08Well, the Russian Revolution was '17, so that's going to be the Communists
0:03:08 > 0:03:11in Russia...and I've no idea who controls Greece
0:03:11 > 0:03:15but I know that the Weimar Republic was very much against Adolf Hitler,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and he didn't like it particularly, so that'd be Germany.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Germany is the right answer. Good stuff. OK, Judith.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25In terms of area, what is the smallest country
0:03:25 > 0:03:27in the European Union?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I think, it's got to be Malta,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33which is a small island in the Mediterranean.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38I can't believe that Malta is bigger than Belgium or Finland.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40OK.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42It is Malta. It's the right answer, well done.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44David...
0:03:44 > 0:03:51Since 1997, what is the duration of Prime Minister's Questions each Wednesday?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Well, prior to Tony Blair, it was twice a week for 15 minutes.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02He rolled that into a half-hour session once a week. 30 minutes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Well done! You know your House of Commons procedure.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07It's the right answer.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Judith, the Labour Party's Election manifesto of which year
0:04:12 > 0:04:17was described by Gerald Kaufman, as the longest suicide note in history?
0:04:30 > 0:04:331983, that would have been Mrs Thatcher.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I think it's '83...
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Because I think...
0:04:47 > 0:04:54Neil Kinnock rather unexpectedly lost in '91.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I think it's 1983.
0:04:56 > 0:05:001983, it's the right answer, Judith, yes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03There weren't elections in 1971 or 1991 - another clue to it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06And mainly, Eggheads, because of what?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Unilateral nuclear disarmament.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12The unilateral nuclear disarmament in that manifesto.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Very old Labour. OK, there we are. You got it in the end.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20David, which Austrian foreign minister was one of the organisers
0:05:20 > 0:05:25of the Congress of Vienna, which devised the settlement of Europe after the Napoleonic Wars?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Bismarck was the Iron Chancellor in Germany, and he was a Prussian.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38So, it's not Bismarck. But I have no idea between the other two.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41So, it's going to have to be a random guess.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45I think what sounds more Austrian is Metternich, so I'll guess Metternich.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- But it is a guess. - OK, Metternich,
0:05:47 > 0:05:52the organiser of the Congress of Vienna? It IS the right answer.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Very well done, David.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Means Judith has to get this.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00What name is given to the heavy metal suitcase,
0:06:00 > 0:06:05containing the secret codes needed to launch America's nuclear weapons,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08which accompanies the President 24 hours a day?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Well, they're all things you kick or hit, aren't they?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I mean, they're all missiles.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23I don't know, it's just the Puck sounds neater.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28It's sort of clunking to call it the Football or the Baseball.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- I think the Puck is kind of neat. - The Puck?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33It's the Football.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35That's very clumsy.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39It is the football. There we are, the Football.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Which means, David, you're through to the final round.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46You'll be playing for the money. Would you rejoin your teams?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51So, you're all still there at this point, Dramarama, one Egghead gone.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Our next head to head is Entertainment. Who'd like to play?
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- Think it's got to be Sarah, hasn't it?- Yes.- Sarah.- Yes.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Which Egghead would you like to play? It can't be Judith.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- I think you should go against Chris.- OK, I'll go against Chris.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11OK, entertain us, Chris.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16OK, let's have Sarah and Chris into the question room, please.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20OK, Sarah, do you want to go first or second?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I'd like to go second, please.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Very clear about that. That puts you in first, Chris, then.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31What is the name of the panther in the 1967 film, The Jungle Book?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Well, Shere Khan is the tiger and Baloo's the bear,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39so it's got to be Bagheera.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Bagheera, yes, is the panther. It's the right answer.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Good start for Chris. OK, Sarah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Which British singer won five Grammy Awards in 2008,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51including Best New Artist?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57OK, well, I don't think it was Leona Lewis,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00because she hasn't won much of anything, especially a Brit.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I don't know who Adele is.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05But I've got a feeling, I remember the newspapers,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08that it was Amy Winehouse. So I'll say Amy Winehouse.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11OK, five Grammy awards, for Amy Winehouse, it's correct.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Well done, good start, Sarah. OK, there we are, one each.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Chris, Sign Your Name and Wishing Well, were UK Top Ten hit singles
0:08:19 > 0:08:22for which singer in the 1980s?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29I don't think it was Michael Jackson, doesn't ring any bells.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34It doesn't sound mimsy enough for Boy George, all things considered.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36So I'll say Terence Trent D'Arby.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Mimsy? Yeah, OK.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44The answer is Terence Trent D'Arby. That's correct, well done, Chris.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46OK, back to you, Sarah.
0:08:46 > 0:08:52Blousey Brown, Cagey Joe and Leroy Smith are characters
0:08:52 > 0:08:54in which stage and film musical?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00OK, well, I've seen all three of those shows.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I helped produce Bugsy Malone once, I've seen Mary Poppins
0:09:03 > 0:09:05heaven only knows how many times on TV,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08and I've also seen Showboat several times,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10because I used to review things for local papers,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13so I'm 99.9% certain it's Showboat.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Too many musicals in your head. It's Bugsy Malone.- Goodness!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23They're Bugsy characters - Blousey Brown, Cagey Joe and Leroy Smith.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Oh, OK. - Well, a chance, then, for Chris.
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Rod, Jane and Freddy were a singing trio who regularly appeared on which children's TV programme?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41You're determined to dredge the lower reaches of my psyche!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44And, God help me, it was Rainbow.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Rod, Jane and Freddy were in Rainbow. You're in the final round.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Bad luck, Sarah.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Just the brain freezing there, or whatever.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Short circuiting there on Bugsy Malone.- Yeah.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03I don't get to put another question. The mistake lets Chris win. Chris will be a delighted Chris,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- winning at Entertainment.- Hmm.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Rather unfortunately for Dramarama it means it's all square now.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Both have lost one brain from the final round.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Our next subject today is Sport.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22And who'd like to play this one, Dramarama?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Brian. - It's got to be me, I think.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27OK, Brian, and who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:10:27 > 0:10:33- It can be Daphne, CJ or Kevin. - It's got to be CJ, I think.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- That wasn't working then, was it? - Let's have Brian and CJ into the question room, then.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Brian, do you want to go first or second?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'll go first, please.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Good luck, Brian. Which ex-cricketer is known by the nickname Beefy?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Well, I know that Ian Botham appears
0:11:01 > 0:11:06on certain advertisements with Allan Lamb,
0:11:06 > 0:11:12advertising beef, so it's got to be Ian Botham.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15It's the right answer. Ian Botham is correct.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17CJ,
0:11:17 > 0:11:21the phrase "three strikes and you're out" is derived from which sport?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28No doubt going to happen to me in a moment, but this is baseball.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32That's correct - baseball. Three strikes and you're out. OK, Brian,
0:11:32 > 0:11:37which rugby union team play their home matches at Welford Road?
0:11:42 > 0:11:48Rugby union, not one of my subjects, particularly, in sport.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54I'm going to go for Leicester Tigers.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56OK, Leicester Tigers.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Yeah, it's the right answer. Well done, Brian.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Two to you. CJ,
0:12:04 > 0:12:11which football team won the European Cup in 1971, 1972 and 1973?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18So...the European Cup's a football competition, then, is it? Right.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You've worked that much out.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I'm going to rule out Ajax
0:12:23 > 0:12:26for no other reason than the fact
0:12:26 > 0:12:29if it was Ajax, they'd no doubt have cleaned up.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33I've really got no idea.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Purely on the basis that I've ruled them out,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I'm going to go for Ajax.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Phew! It's the right answer, yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47How did you get it? OK, well, Brian,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50can you tell me which tennis player
0:12:50 > 0:12:55won the Grand Slam of mixed doubles titles with Ken Fletcher in 1963?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Little before my time.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09I'm more familiar with the Borg era of tennis.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Tough choice between Billie Jean King and Margaret Court.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Perhaps a bit early for Billie Jean King.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I'm going to go for Margaret Court.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29It is Margaret Court.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31It's the right answer.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33CJ,
0:13:33 > 0:13:38which horse won five consecutive Cheltenham Gold Cups in the 1930s
0:13:38 > 0:13:41and the 1934 Grand National?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I don't know, Dermot.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52The one that I've heard of the most,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55so let's hope that's because it was very prolific,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57is Cresta Run. So I'll go for that.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59OK, Cresta Run.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02How prolific was Cresta Run, Eggheads?
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- In what way, prolific? - Not as prolific as Golden Miller.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Yes, the answer comes.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Golden Miller. One you've never heard of, Golden Miller.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15So there we are.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21Another Egghead bites the dust and Brian strolls into... Well, you had to work quite hard.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24But you are in to the final round, playing for the money today.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Well, Eggheads, you're in a bit of a slump.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Which means, Dramarama,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33can you beat the Eggheads again?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35You're going very, very strongly.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40As it stands, the Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round. Dramarama have lost one.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46We play our last head-to-head before the final round. This one's Science.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Who wants to play from Pete or Lindy?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50What do you reckon?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Science.- Captain's decision.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Definitely not for you, Lindy?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Not for me at all.- Well, Peter, then.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- You're in the chair.- It's you, Pete. And Kevin or Daphne await.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- Any preference?- Godfathers! How do you choose between those two?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09How do you choose, indeed?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- I'll take on Kevin, please, Dermot. - OK, Kevin. Of course you can.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Let's have you both in the question room.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18This is a very important round for the Eggheads,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21because they're down in the head-to-heads in this game.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23But Kevin has never lost,
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- in the entire history of Eggheads, at Science.- Ah!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31But the form they're in at the moment, that could change.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Records tumbling all round.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34So let's see if you can do it, Pete.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Good luck.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46The hamstring is a muscle in which part of the human body?
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Ah, this is quite fortunate, because human biology
0:15:54 > 0:15:56is the part of science I do know quite well.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I'm going to go with leg. I'm 100% sure it's leg.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Leg - the hamstring?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Yes, it is. Course it is. It's the right answer.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Kevin,
0:16:07 > 0:16:13what name is given to the relatively shallow submarine platform that forms a border around a continent?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18That's the continental shelf.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Shelf is correct.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Pete, what is the term
0:16:23 > 0:16:29for numbers that are equal to the sum of all their factors, excluding the number itself?
0:16:39 > 0:16:45I would certainly rule out periodic numbers, I think. Um...
0:16:46 > 0:16:53I've not heard of the term, so I'm not going to choose that one.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm sure prime numbers...
0:16:58 > 0:17:02I don't think... No. I'm going to go with perfect numbers, I think.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04OK.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Perfect numbers, perfect answer.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16Kevin, the drug digoxin, an extract from the foxglove plant,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20is primarily used to treat defects of which human organ?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Can you spell...? - Yeah. D-I-G-O-X-I-N.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Right, well, foxglove, I mean...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Maybe that's another name for digitalis, or maybe...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Digitalis comes from the foxglove.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Maybe this is another name for that, or a slightly different variant.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42But I would associate that with the heart.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- So...heart.- What, it kind of speeds up the heart, or something?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Speeding up is what it would do, yes.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52OK, whatever. It is the right answer, yes, heart is correct.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55So it's two each and back to you, Pete.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01Which bird of prey is the only one in Africa that hunts on foot
0:18:01 > 0:18:02rather than by flying?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Um...
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I think I'll rule out buzzard straight away,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18because I'm sure they're...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I'm sure they're similar to vultures,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and possibly in the same family group - I don't know -
0:18:26 > 0:18:30but I can't imagine them hunting on foot.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Something draws me to secretary bird.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I'm sure I've heard something about the secretary bird
0:18:38 > 0:18:40that's unusual.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I think I'll go with secretary bird, please.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47OK, secretary bird. Crucial question.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Given this is one of Kevin's strongest subjects,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53you don't want to slip up here.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56And you haven't. It is the right answer - secretary bird.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Hunts on foot,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00rather than by flying.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- Hunts snakes.- Ah, OK. Well, is it going to catch Kevin?
0:19:04 > 0:19:10Kevin, what name is given to a coil of wire through which an electric current can be passed
0:19:10 > 0:19:12to create a magnetic field?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I believe that's a solenoid.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I can almost hear the electricity buzzing in your brain.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26It's the right answer.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29So, Pete, for the first time in this game
0:19:29 > 0:19:31we go to Sudden Death,
0:19:31 > 0:19:35which means we remove those answers you've seen up to this point -
0:19:35 > 0:19:41those potential answers - nothing for you to have a crack at if you don't know it straight off.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Can you tell me this?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44What is the name of the oath
0:19:44 > 0:19:48that doctors traditionally took before beginning their practice?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02No, I'm sorry. I can't... I can't think of an answer.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Nothing coming to you.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07The oath doctors took before beginning their practice.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Nothing? Is that a pass, then, Pete?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- Yeah. I can't think of an answer. I'm sorry.- Pass on that. Kevin,
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- it could have been your question. Do you know it?- Hippocratic oath. - The Hippocratic oath.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24The bit of it I like, given some of the doctors that I know,
0:20:24 > 0:20:30they have to promise to live an exemplarity personal and professional life.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- How sweet.- I'm sure most of them do. - Yeah, most of them do, yeah.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36So there we are, the Hippocratic oath.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42So a chance for Kevin to keep that 100% record.
0:20:42 > 0:20:48Kevin, what name is given to the extinct Pleistocene smilodon,
0:20:48 > 0:20:54a large, short-limbed cat of North and South America with immense upper canine teeth?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57A smilodon is a... Well, you wouldn't want to see it smile.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59It's the sabre-toothed tiger.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Sabre-toothed tiger is the right answer, Kevin.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06You're through to the final round.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Bad luck, Pete. Everything went blank, didn't it,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13faced with that question? You were going really well up to that point.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Please come back and join your teams.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20So time for the final round now which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21But I'm afraid
0:21:21 > 0:21:25those who lost their head-to-heads can't take part in this round.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29So Sarah and Pete from Dramarama and Judith and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33would you all leave the studio now, please?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37So, Brian, David and Lindy, you're playing to win Dramarama £1,000.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Kevin, Daphne and Chris, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:21:41 > 0:21:42the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50This time, the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55Dramarama, the question is are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three brains?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Brian, David and Lindy, would you like to go first or second?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- What do you reckon?- You're team captain.- Team captain decision.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- You make the choice. - Well, I think we'll go first.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12OK, good luck. Let's see if the Eggheads can be beaten again.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Which former All Saints singer married Oasis front man Liam Gallagher on Valentine's Day
0:22:17 > 0:22:19in 2008?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Which former All Saints singer married Oasis's Liam Gallagher
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- on Valentine's Day in 2008? - I was worried they'd bring up
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- both Appletons on the screen. - It's the Appletons, yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38I'd say one of the Appletons and there's only one Appleton there.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I think the Appleton rings a bell.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Yeah. And I would have gone for Nicole Appleton.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- I would have gone for Nicole Appleton.- I'm convinced.- So am I.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Nicole Appleton.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Nicole Appleton, yes, married Liam Gallagher.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Eggheads,
0:22:54 > 0:22:55first question to you, then.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00In 1998, Sepp Blatter became the president of which international organisation?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04It was FIFA.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Sepp Blatter, president of FIFA.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10That's correct, Eggheads.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Back to you, Dramarama.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Second question. In which year
0:23:14 > 0:23:18did China implement its one child per couple policy?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- I think 1980's too late. - I can remember this
0:23:25 > 0:23:28from the '70s. I don't know if it was implemented in the '60s,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- but I do remember it in the '70s. - You remember it?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Yeah. I'm that old. I remember it in the '70s.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I think it was before 1980.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I remember discussing it at school in the '90s,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41so I was going to guess '80. So I've got no idea!
0:23:41 > 0:23:42I do remember it in the '70s.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- 1970, then.- But I don't know if it was the end of the '70s
0:23:45 > 0:23:48or if I remember it because it was the end of the '60s.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- So I'm...- In the '60s, weren't they trying to just grow the population?
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Therefore the Maoist policy was to just become really powerful.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00If I was doing the solo round, I'd go for 1980, but that's...
0:24:00 > 0:24:05- Well, that's the one.- But if you remember it in the '70s...- I do.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- I was only born in 1979.- It might have been '78, '79, going into '80.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Ah, yes, but...
0:24:10 > 0:24:14they're a Communist government, they tend to decide things and do them.
0:24:14 > 0:24:171970's very early in the '70s, isn't it?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I don't know. I'm not 100% sure.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I just remember talking about it. But I could have forgotten,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26with the mist of time, and got the date wrong.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28It's a tough choice.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33We'll...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Have we ruled out 1960? - We'll take a punt,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39and go straight down the middle for 1970.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42OK, 1970. The year in which China
0:24:42 > 0:24:45implemented its one child per couple policy, you think.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48It's 1980.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Oh!- It is 1980.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53And you were so close to going for that.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55That was an agonising decision.
0:24:55 > 0:24:571980, Eggheads.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Do you...?
0:24:58 > 0:25:03It was all part of the reform movement after Mao died in '76.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08- Then Deng Xiaoping and the reformers came in and it was during that period...- I see.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11So 1980, not 1970. So a chance for the Eggheads to take the lead.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14How old was Mary, Queen of Scots,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17when she succeeded to the throne on the death of her father?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Yeah.- That's right.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27He died in 1542, which was when she was born. It's six days, Dermot.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Six days is the correct answer, Eggheads.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Yes, six days. So it means
0:25:35 > 0:25:37you've got to get this, Dramarama.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41In the military, what name is given to a small case for needles,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43thread and other small sewing items?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Housewife... - Housewife is the first thing that...
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Housewife just seems such a modern phrase.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58I think phrases in the military tend to be really old and archaic.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Governess sounds a little... - I'm sure it's housewife.- Yeah?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Let's go for housewife, then.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Two of you thought it was.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Governess... - Always go with your instincts.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13It depends whether the phrase was invented by the officers or the men.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16If it was the men, it'd be housewife. The officers would have had servants.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21- How old is it?- How...- Chambermaid - it was a chamber, wasn't it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Like a bedroom.- Yeah, true. I'd go for housewife.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Governess... That's the only reason I'm thinking it's that.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- But as far as I know, it's a housewife.- OK.- I'd go for housewife.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- OK, as you can gather from that... - It's agonising, isn't it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38I'm feeling for you! You have to get this.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- We're not 100%... - But that's what we're going for.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46We're not 100% sure, but we feel... that it should be housewife,
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- so that's what we're going to plump for.- OK, all agreeing on that.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Housewife...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- is the right answer.- Well done!
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Well done, guys.- But...
0:26:58 > 0:27:03so close to getting that one child per couple policy, didn't get it, which means
0:27:03 > 0:27:08the Eggheads have a chance to wrap the game up if they give me the correct answer to this one.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Eggheads, which prison is featured John Gay's work The Beggar's Opera?
0:27:16 > 0:27:22- Newgate?- That's what I thought, but I'm not going to influence you two.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- It's not Wormwood Scrubs.- No.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27The Fleet was the debtors' prison.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- But...- They were highwaymen. - Yeah, Macheath is a highwayman.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34He's in there for robbery and... I think it's Newgate.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Yeah, that's what I instinctively...
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's Newgate, Dermot.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Had a bit of debate about it.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Just making sure that we all felt the same.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It is the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Well, you're very generous,
0:27:56 > 0:28:03applauding the Eggheads there, because, Dramarama, you came within a whisker of beating them.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- You were that close. - Nearly is not close enough, Dermot.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Well, no, it's not close enough, but it makes for a very good game and I hope a good day out for you.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Thank you very much for playing. You've been a great team
0:28:14 > 0:28:16and some very good quizzing there.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18But it was not to be on the day.
0:28:18 > 0:28:24The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, and they reign supreme over Quiz Land once again.
0:28:24 > 0:28:30I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £1,000, which means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40£2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
