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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the 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 might recognize them as they are the Goliaths of TV quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:42are the Superbugs. The team met through working together
0:00:43 > 0:00:45at the microbiology department
0:00:45 > 0:00:49at Clatterbridge Hospital in the Wirral. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Dave, I'm 42 and I'm a biomedical scientist.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Paul, I'm 53 and I'm a medical laboratory assistant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Neil, I'm 54 and I'm a biomedical scientist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Lindsey, I'm 38 and I'm a biomedical scientist.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Clive, I'm 47 and I'm a biomedical scientist.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Welcome to you, Superbugs.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Tell me, what does a biomedical scientist do in layman's terms?
0:01:15 > 0:01:20In layman's terms, when the doctor takes a sample off a patient,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23we work in the background and we determine the problem.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26If there's an infection, we decide which bug causes it
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and what the appropriate treatment would be.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- So a lot of pressure. Presumably all the time, it's faster, faster?- Yes.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37But I suppose some of these tests just take the time they take.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39You can't rush a bug.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41You can't rush a bug. Neil,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44you've quizzed at the highest level on television.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Once upon a time, yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51Back in 1978 I was on Mastermind.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Even before Chris!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- How did you do?- I got to the final.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- I came third.- Third, a very good performance. Let's see how you do
0:01:59 > 0:02:02against the Eggheads. Some real quizzing credentials there.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:05 > 0:02:06for our challengers.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Superbugs, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17which means £2,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Our first head-to-head is on History.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Any one of you can play this,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24it being the first head-to-head.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- History.- I think we'll ask Clive.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- It's me, isn't it?- It is. - You're the specialist
0:02:29 > 0:02:33on that and which Egghead would you like to play?
0:02:33 > 0:02:34I'll go against CJ.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39OK, CJ. Let's have Clive and CJ into the question room please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Clive, would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first please.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Here you go.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Which woman, born in 1884, was the niece of one American president
0:02:52 > 0:02:54and the wife of another?
0:02:58 > 0:03:03American history's not something I've studied, unfortunately.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I don't think it's Betty Ford,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09she's probably a bit too late for being born then.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Um...so it's a choice of the other two.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Eleanor Roosevelt.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17- Eleanor?- Yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Yes, it's the right answer. Well done.- Goodness.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Presumably niece of Teddy and married to FDR?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Yeah.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31OK, CJ, in which century was the first Boer War fought?
0:03:35 > 0:03:36I'm going to trip myself up here
0:03:36 > 0:03:39but I thought they were both in the 19th.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Um...
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Well, I'm going to use Judith's philosophy.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50It's the first question
0:03:50 > 0:03:53so I'm going for the obvious answer, I'll go for 19th.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58It is the 19th, the first Boer War fought in the 19th century.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Clive,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02which hill-top monastery
0:04:02 > 0:04:05was the site of a series of World War Two battles in 1944
0:04:05 > 0:04:09and was famously destroyed by Allied bombing?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Again, I'm afraid I'll have to take a guess.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I've never heard of Melk.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Mont St Michel sounds like a monastery.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Monte Cassino is a battle I've heard of.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I'll go for Mont St Michel.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Mont St Michel.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39It's the one you heard of, it's Monte Cassino.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41OK, CJ,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43your second question, chance for the lead.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49Terra Natalis was the name given to a region on the eastern coast
0:04:49 > 0:04:52of which modern country by Vasco de Gama after he first sighted it
0:04:52 > 0:04:55on Christmas day in 1497?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00How are you spelling Natalis, please?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03N-A-T-A-L-I-S.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07I'm just trying to think which one...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Did he ever get to India?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Hold on, Natal.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19I more associate De Gama with South Africa so that's what I'll go for.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Yes, it's the right answer, South Africa.
0:05:23 > 0:05:29CJ linked Natalis and modern day Natal, would that be the link?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Yep.- Terra Natalis, Natal, South Africa's the right answer,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34which means you've got to get this,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Clive. Which ancient Roman province
0:05:38 > 0:05:41covered the northwest of modern-day Romania?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Is it...? Trying to think.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I'll go for Dacia.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well done, it's the right choice. Dacia is correct.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Kept your hopes alive. CJ, though, can win it
0:06:01 > 0:06:04if he tells me the correct answer to this.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Who was the youngest of Queen Victoria's nine children?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Get ready for a blind one-in-three guess.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17The youngest of Queen Victoria's nine children
0:06:17 > 0:06:20was, without a shadow of a doubt, Arthur.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25The youngest of Queen Victoria's nine children was,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- without a shadow of a doubt, Eggheads?- Beatrice.- Beatrice.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33So, good news for Clive. There we are.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35CJ didn't have a clue and he picked the wrong one.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39So it's all square after those three multiple choice questions.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Clive, we go to sudden death so I've got to hear an answer from you.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46The Wanganui Campaign and the first Taranaki War
0:06:46 > 0:06:49were features of which larger conflict
0:06:49 > 0:06:53that took place between 1845 and 1872?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Gosh, I really don't know.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59They sound a bit...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Australian or New Zealand to me
0:07:02 > 0:07:04but I can't think of a war down there.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I really don't know.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- American Indian wars? It's a guess. - OK.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16It's not the right answer, Clive.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19You were on the right track with your first thoughts.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25It is the Maori Wars, or New Zealand Wars, Kiwi Wars.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28The Maori Wars took place between
0:07:28 > 0:07:331845 and 1872. So, a chance again for CJ.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Whose last words in 1793 were supposedly an apology
0:07:36 > 0:07:40to her executioner for stepping on his foot?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Marie Antoinette.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Marie Antoinette is the correct answer, CJ. You have won the round,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52you're through to the final round. Bad luck,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Clive. Marie Antoinette has taken CJ through to the final round.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Would you please come back and join your teams?
0:08:00 > 0:08:05First blow for the Eggheads, one brain missing from the Superbugs
0:08:05 > 0:08:09in terms of the final round. Let's play another head-to-head.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10This one is Arts & Books.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Hands up, that's a good way of doing it, Paul.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Who would you like to play for the Eggheads, Paul, if it is to be you?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Chris, I think.- Chris, please.- Chris
0:08:21 > 0:08:24on Arts & Books. Makes a change from Entertainment.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Very welcome change, actually.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It's brought a smile to his little face.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Let's have Paul and Chris into the question room.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- Paul, would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40OK, it's Arts and Books.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43You've decided to kick off, this is your question. What name is given
0:08:43 > 0:08:48to the thin blade of cane or metal in a wind instrument
0:08:48 > 0:08:50that vibrates with the player's breath?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It's a reed, Dermot, and it makes a wonderful sound.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59It's a different sound to any other sound. It's beautiful.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02It is a reed, beautiful answer, well done.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Chris.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Which term refers to a humorous play
0:09:08 > 0:09:12based on the exploitation of unlikely situations?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16It's French for stuffing,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20of all the strange things for it to come from, it's farce.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Is that where it's from?- Yeah.- I didn't know.- French for stuffing.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Farce, it's the right answer. OK,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32one each. Paul, second question.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37The 1835 opera Lucia di Lammermoor is based on a novel by which writer?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I think...
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I shall go for Robert Burns
0:09:45 > 0:09:50on the basis that I think he was born earlier than the other two.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53But I am not at all sure of this. So Robert Burns.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Robert Burns, Lucia di Lammermoor.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It's based on a novel by Walter Scott.
0:10:01 > 0:10:07Walter Scott, so nothing for Paul. Chris.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Bill Mason is the central character of which 1951 science fiction novel?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Yes. He's in hospital for an eye operation and his eyes
0:10:20 > 0:10:24are bandaged when the meteorites strike the rest of the world blind
0:10:24 > 0:10:26in The Day Of The Triffids.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31It is the right answer, The Day Of The Triffids. OK,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33it means you've got to get this, Paul.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Which Hollywood actor made his London stage debut in February 2008
0:10:38 > 0:10:39in Speed The Plough
0:10:39 > 0:10:40at the Old Vic?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49There again, I am not sure what the answer to this is
0:10:49 > 0:10:54but I will go for William Hurt, on the basis that he is
0:10:54 > 0:10:55the name that I am most familiar with.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- So William Hurt.- OK, William Hurt
0:10:58 > 0:11:00in Speed The Plough.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Also starring Kevin Spacey, isn't it?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Erm, it's Jeff Goldblum.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Jeff Goldblum is in Speed The Plough
0:11:10 > 0:11:13at the Old Vic, which means
0:11:13 > 0:11:17we end the round there. You've just got one out of those three.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Chris has got two correct, he doesn't face another question.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24You'll be in the final round, Chris, and sorry, Paul, no place for you.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Would you come back and join your teams?
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Two of the Superbugs have been zapped by the Eggheads.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Two rounds to go though.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40Our next subject is Entertainment. Who'd like to play this, Superbugs?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Dave, Neil or Lindsey - one of you three.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- That'll be me.- OK, Lindsey. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Choices are Daphne, Kevin or Judith.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52I think I'll choose Kevin just cos I like the colour of his shirt.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Yes! Hold on a minute! It's almost the same colour, eh, Kevin?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Very close.- Separated at birth.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04OK, let's have Lindsey and Kevin into the question room, please.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06OK, Lindsey,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08do you want to go first or second?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I'm gonna go second, Dermot.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14OK, Kevin,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Entertainment, first question is yours.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Who hosted the TV series Blind Date between 1985 and 2003?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I'm not doing the voice, it's Cilla Black.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It is the right answer, Cilla Black.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Lindsey, first question to you.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Which British actor played the role
0:12:35 > 0:12:39of Robert McCall in the 1980s' TV series, The Equaliser?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I never really watched the programme
0:12:45 > 0:12:49but I'm almost...positively sure it's Edward Woodward.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51If I can say it!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Too many woods in there!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Edward Woodward is the right answer.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Kevin, next one for you.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Who won a 2000 Best Supporting Actor Oscar
0:13:01 > 0:13:05despite delivering most of his lines in Spanish?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13It was Benicio Del Toro. In Traffic.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18Benicio Del Toro is the right answer, Kevin. Two to you.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Lindsey, "we've gone on holiday
0:13:21 > 0:13:23"by mistake"
0:13:23 > 0:13:27is a much-quoted line from which 1980s' British film?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Again, I'm not entirely sure.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I don't think it's a Fish Called Wanda, I've seen that.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Erm...Withnail And I, I've never actually seen
0:13:43 > 0:13:45but my husband is always telling me I should watch,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48so I think I'm gonna go with Withnail And I.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Yeah, you should watch it now, it's the right answer.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55"We've gone on holiday by mistake".
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Kevin, third question to you.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03"I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again"
0:14:03 > 0:14:06is a line from a well-known ballad by which 1980s' group?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'm not too good on lyrics as you might have guessed by this stage.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20I don't know it. I'm going for Spandau Ballet.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I'm hoping it's from True or one of those.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Spandau Ballet.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- It is the right answer, Kevin. CJ, it is from...- True.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33As Kevin hoped there
0:14:33 > 0:14:35but wasn't certain about it.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- There was something there but I wasn't sure at all.- OK.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Spandau Ballet. Means you've got to get this, Lindsey.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46This to keep your hopes alive.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48In which TV detective series
0:14:48 > 0:14:52is the central character assisted by DS Hathaway?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Right, I've seen a little bit of Lewis recently.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05Midsomer Murders I've never watched, although I did like John Nettles.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07A Touch Of Frost I've never watched.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I think it's Lewis. I'm sure it's his sidekick.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12OK, Lewis.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It is - it's the right answer!
0:15:14 > 0:15:18So you go into sudden death. Hopes very much alive there, Lindsey.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20OK, Kevin,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24who plays the general manager, Charlie Edwards, in the TV series,
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Hotel Babylon?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Ah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Never actually seen it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I know it used to be
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Tamsin Outhwaite who played the, um, sort of manager
0:15:36 > 0:15:39but she's gone and this other guy has taken over.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40I know that much but...
0:15:41 > 0:15:44No, um...
0:15:44 > 0:15:46This isn't right, I'm just gonna say a name.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I think it might be James something.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51James McGee. I don't know.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54It's not James McGee. That's incorrect.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Do you know by chance, Lindsey?
0:15:56 > 0:16:02I don't actually. It's not the actor who's Robbie Williams' friend?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It is actually.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08You're on the right track. If you can dig it out. It bears no...
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Is it Jonathan Wilkes?- No.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12He is a mate of Robbie Williams.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14They had fun and frolics in LA. Do you know?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Max Beesley.- Max Beesley!
0:16:16 > 0:16:21- OK. Right.- Max Beesley plays Charlie Edwards in Hotel Babylon.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Eggheads didn't get that. Lindsey, then,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28it means you can win it if you give me a correct answer here.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31"I love it when a plan comes together"
0:16:31 > 0:16:35was a favourite saying of which member of TV's The A-Team?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I used to watch this a lot as well.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41The only name I can come up with is BA Baracus
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- and I don't think it was him. BA Baracus.- BA Baracus.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Mr T.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51It's not. It's not. Would you know it, Kevin, if it was yours?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I'm not too sure but I can remember the line.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Was it the one played by Dirk Benedict -
0:16:55 > 0:16:57the one they called "Faceman"?
0:16:57 > 0:16:58No, no, no, no.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03- Howling Mad Murdock?- Man in charge, wasn't it? Hannibal Smith.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Hannibal Smith. "I love it when a plan comes together". Well,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09a let-off for Kevin,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13but anyone can win it, clearly. Kevin,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17which 1964 Carry On film featured the characters,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Horsa and Hengist Pod?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23"Infamy, infamy" and all that. Carry On Cleo.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27It is Carry On Cleo. How do you know those?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Carry On Cleo is correct. Features the characters
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Horsa and Hengist Pod.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It means you've got to get this, Lindsey.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Two teenage bikers named Tetsuo and Keneda
0:17:40 > 0:17:44are principal characters in which influential Japanese anime film
0:17:44 > 0:17:47of 1988?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Anime film? That's sort of...
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Erm...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I'm thinking Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles
0:17:54 > 0:17:56for some reason. I don't know whether...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- I'll go with that. - OK, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05It's incorrect, Lindsey. Kevin?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Is it Akira?- It's Akira. Japanese anime film -
0:18:09 > 0:18:12one of those cartoon-like things, I guess.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14It's incorrect, Lindsey.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Kevin got his right, which means he is playing in the final round.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21After a slip-up, he's made it through.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Bad luck, Lindsey. Great round. Would you both
0:18:23 > 0:18:25rejoin your teams?
0:18:25 > 0:18:30Well, as it stands after that, the Superbugs have lost three brains.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31The Eggheads are all still there
0:18:31 > 0:18:35and your last chance to knock one out with this round, it's Sport.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38And Dave or Neil, Sport.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- I think that could be you, Dave. - I would think so.- Is it?- It is.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45OK, Dave. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49It is going to be Daphne or Judith.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I think I'll take on Judith.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53OK, Judith, Sport.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Dave and Judith take your positions in the question room.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00OK then, Dave. Do you want to go first or second?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I think I'll go first please, Dermot.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Best of luck. It's Sport, here's your question.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Which term is used to describe rugby union players
0:19:10 > 0:19:13who generally do not participate in the scrum?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Well, I used to play rugby at school
0:19:17 > 0:19:19so I know the forwards are in the scrum.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Never heard of the sides, so it'll have to be the backs.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Backs is the right answer, yes, of course.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Judith,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30in boxing, what name is given to an illegal blow
0:19:30 > 0:19:31to the back of the neck?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I think...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I think that's a rabbit punch.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Rabbit punch?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Yes, that's right, Judith. One for you.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Dave,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48the University Oval is a venue for Test-match cricket
0:19:48 > 0:19:50in which country?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Cricket's not my strongest subject.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58In fact it's gonna be a pure guess.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I'll go for South Africa.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06The University Oval is in...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10..New Zealand. It's in New Zealand.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Judith, your question can put you in the lead if you get it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Puissance is a competition in which sport?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Oh, that I know is show jumping.- OK,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29show jumping. Puissance is the right answer, yes, as you well knew.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Which means you've got to get this, Dave.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Italian football club Juventus inherited their famous striped kit
0:20:36 > 0:20:40from the design of which English team in the early 20th century?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Strangely enough I was talking to a friend about this the other week
0:20:48 > 0:20:49and it's Notts County.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Just as well you were. That is a really tricky question, isn't it?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Notts County is the right answer.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Did you and your friend work out...?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I mean, why Notts County? How did that come about?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I think Juventus...
0:21:03 > 0:21:08didn't have a kit so Notts County lent them theirs and they've kept it,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- just black-and-white stripes, ever since.- OK,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14you've got to hope Judith gets this wrong. In which sport
0:21:14 > 0:21:16does the scorer hold up lollipops
0:21:16 > 0:21:18at the end of each bout of play?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I don't think it's curling.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I'm trying to visualise a bowls match.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30And I can't.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I'm just gonna bet on archery.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- 3 - 1, bet on archery.- OK.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Archery.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- It's incorrect.- What is it?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- It is bowls.- It's bowls.- It's bowls.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Little white things...
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Lollipops to show how many bowls you have in the scoring, up to four.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I see. Great news for you, Dave.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Judith did get it wrong which means we go to sudden death.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Anything can happen.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Dave, here you go.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04The current Alpine skiing programme at the Winter Olympics
0:22:04 > 0:22:09consists of five events, slalom, giant slalom, super-G, combined
0:22:09 > 0:22:11and what else?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I can only think of one thing.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I'm not sure if it's right but...downhill?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Right answer. Well done.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Good, good, good, Dave. OK, Judith.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30In 1992, who became the first non-American team
0:22:30 > 0:22:33to win the baseball World Series?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35It was probably some Canadian team.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I don't know their name.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I should think they're the Montreal something-or-others.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I don't know. No idea.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54- Falling on your sword? - Yeah, falling on the sword.- OK.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Take a pass, Eggheads.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Toronto Blue Jays. - Toronto Blue Jays.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03Canada wasn't from Montreal, so you wouldn't have got with a guess.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05It means -
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I think justice has been done - Dave, you're in the final round.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Judith, you won't be playing in the final round.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20It's time for the final round which is General Knowledge.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Those who lost their head-to-heads
0:23:22 > 0:23:24won't take part in this round,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27so Paul, Lindsey and Clive from the Superbugs
0:23:27 > 0:23:30and Judith from the Eggheads, would you all leave the studio now?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35So, Dave and Neil, you're playing to win the Superbugs £2,000.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:23:40 > 0:23:42the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:47 > 0:23:50and you can confer. It was important that you won, Dave.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Superbugs, the question is, are your two brains
0:23:53 > 0:23:56better than the Eggheads' four? And, Dave and Neil,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58would you like to go first or second?
0:23:58 > 0:23:59I think we'll go first, Dermot.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Good luck, Superbugs. Your first question.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Which popular showbiz figure celebrated his 80th birthday
0:24:08 > 0:24:10in February 2008?
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- Well, Des Lynam isn't 80.- Sure?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Quite sure. I'm sure it's Bruce Forsyth.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Yes, that's it. I seem to remember
0:24:24 > 0:24:27a television special celebrating Bruce Forsyth's 80th birthday,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29so Bruce Forsyth is our answer.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Yeah, I'm sure the younger Tarby and Des Lynam won't thank us
0:24:33 > 0:24:37for putting them in that list! Bruce Forsyth is the right answer.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39OK, Eggheads,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43who is the father of daughters called Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches
0:24:43 > 0:24:44and Pixie?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49That's Bob Geldof.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Fancy calling your daughters that?!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Doing very well on it from what I see in the tabloids!
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Bob Geldof is the right answer.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01OK, Superbugs,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03in 1977,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06who became the first woman to be nominated for a Best Director Oscar?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I haven't heard of any of them.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21I'm not sure I've heard of many of them. I've heard of Sally Potter.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27I wouldn't even hazard a guess.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Well, we can't think of any of them.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38I'm not aware of the others at all. Sally Potter...
0:25:40 > 0:25:43..I've a feeling may be more recent than that.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Shall we say Sally Potter?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I warned you.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53We're not at all sure.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56But I think we're settled on Sally Potter.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00OK, first woman to be nominated for a Best Director Oscar.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05It's not Sally Potter, it's incorrect. It's Lina Wertmuller.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Lina Wertmuller. Any Egghead tell me a bit more of the film?
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I think it was for a film called Seven Beauties.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Correct, yes. Seven Beauties.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20So there we are. Nothing there for the Superbugs.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23See how the Eggheads do with their second question.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27When did the Soviet Union pull its last troops out of Afghanistan?
0:26:33 > 0:26:38They went in in 1979 and came out 10 years later.
0:26:38 > 0:26:411989.
0:26:41 > 0:26:441989 is correct, Eggheads.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47So, is that a turning point?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49You've got to get this, Superbugs.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54The sweet fizzy wine called Lachryma Christi or Tears of Christ
0:26:54 > 0:26:55is produced from grapes
0:26:55 > 0:26:58grown on the slopes of which Italian volcanic peak?
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Right.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Well, wine is my subject actually. - Good.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I don't think they grow wines on Stromboli.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12They certainly grow wines on Etna
0:27:12 > 0:27:15but I'm fairly sure that it's...
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Lachryma Christi is from the Naples area so it's Vesuvius.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Vesuvius. I see, yes, OK.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27In the Naples area, Lachryma Christi or tears of Christ...
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Yeah. Vesuvius is the right place. Well done, well worked out.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37But that slip-up on the second question as we can see there
0:27:37 > 0:27:39means the Eggheads have an opportunity here.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Eggheads, which word derived from the Greek for "bad"
0:27:42 > 0:27:45means government by the worst people?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52That's kakistocracy.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It's the right answer, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, well played, Superbugs.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Bad luck with that middle question there.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Just means, as they so often do,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09the Eggheads have been able to pinch the game.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Thanks very much for playing.. It's been a pleasure having you here,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15and to all the Superbugs there back in the question room.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20They still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22You won't be going home with £2,000,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25which means the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if the new challengers
0:28:31 > 0:28:33have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36£3,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
