0:00:04 > 0:00:08These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33You might recognise them,
0:00:33 > 0:00:35as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And taking on our awesome quiz champions today are Harry Lime.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43The team are old friends who have won quizzes
0:00:43 > 0:00:45in the Northwest and take their name
0:00:45 > 0:00:49from the classic film, The Third Man. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Alison, I'm 51, and a part-time volunteer worker.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Vernon, I'm 63, and I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Bill, I'm 46, and I'm a betting-shop manager.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm David, I'm 60, and I'm an accountant.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Travis, I'm 72 and I'm a retired farmer.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Welcome to you, Harry Lime. It seems strange saying that to you, Alison!
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Why the name?- It's just from the old days when there was two playing
0:01:19 > 0:01:23and somebody said in a quiz, "Who's your third man?"
0:01:23 > 0:01:27They just said Harry Lime and it stuck. That was it from then on.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29So no other... I'm trying to remember the film...
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Big ferris wheel in it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Yeah, Austria, wasn't it? Vienna.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Orson Welles. No, it's just stuck from a joke.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38How do those quizzes go that you play?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39We do very well.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We've won quite a few.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Travis, at the end, has been on Brain Of Britain.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Dave's been on Millionaire and everything.- Ohh.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Between us we've won quite a few things.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54How did you do in Millionaire, David?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I won 32,000.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Not bad. It should be a good game with the Eggheads.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Let's get on with it. Every game, there's £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07But if they don't defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10So, Harry Lime, the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14which means £3,000 says YOU can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Our first head-to-head is Arts & Books.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Who'd like to play?- That's me.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Straight away, Alison.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- CJ, please.- OK, CJ and Alison, please go to the Question Room.- OK.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Alison, do you want to go first or second on Arts & Books?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I'd go first, please, Dermot.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Going first. Good luck with this.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45In JRR Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings trilogy,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48what type of creature is Gimli?
0:02:51 > 0:02:56I think Gimli was the short, fat one. I think the dwarf.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So I'll say dwarf.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Yes, that's right. Gimli's the dwarf.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08CJ, what's the name of the board or tablet with a thumb hole at one end
0:03:08 > 0:03:11used by painters for holding and mixing colours?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17That would be their colour palette, Dermot.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21It would be. Correct. Back to you, Alison.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27The Shakespeare play A Midsummer Night's Dream is set in and around which European city?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Erm...
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Not too sure.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I can't think it's Paris...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43No, I think I'll say Milan.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Milan for A Midsummer Night's Dream...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48It's actually Athens, Alison.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Sorry, boys.- You were right about Paris, but it's Athens.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54So, CJ, a chance for the lead.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Which American author wrote the novels The Yiddish Policemen's Union and Wonder Boys?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I've never even heard of the first book,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08but I think the second was made into a film with Michael Douglas.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I'm going to go for Michael Chabon.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15OK. That's correct, CJ. Gives you the lead.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Means you've got to get this, Alison.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21What did the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude
0:04:21 > 0:04:26wrap in 454,178 square feet
0:04:26 > 0:04:30of golden sandstone fabric in 1985?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I can't remember the Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe being wrapped up.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43But Pont Neuf...
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Erm...
0:04:46 > 0:04:49But I can imagine them wrapping the Arc de Triomphe.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'll say the Arc de Triomphe.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57OK, Arc de Triomphe.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Closing your eyes and hoping for the best.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It's not the best. I'm sorry, it's the Pont Neuf.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05As you seemed to know, CJ.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I've seen a lovely documentary about it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10So we end the round there.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12CJ's got two out of two.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Two slip-ups there, Alison, which means you won't be
0:05:15 > 0:05:21playing in the final round. Would you both please rejoin your teams?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23OK, first blood to the Eggheads.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Our next round is Geography. Who'd like to play this one?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Can't be you, Alison. Any of the other four.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- Dave.- Dave?- OK? Who do you want to play? Judith or Chris?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Judith?
0:05:36 > 0:05:37- Judith.- Judith, please.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40OK, David and Judith.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42The subject is Geography.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48David, do you want to go first or second?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49First, please, Dermot.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56OK, Geography. Here's your question. Salzburg is a city in which country?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Salzburg is a city in which country?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I've been to Vienna... It is Austria.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09You'd have to have been to Vienna, being one of the Harry Limes!
0:06:11 > 0:06:15You couldn't be wrong. It's the right answer, Austria.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17OK, Judith.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19What is the capital of Venezuela?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24What's the capital of Venezuela?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26That is Caracas.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Yes, it is, Caracas. One each.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37OK, David. Isabela and Santa Cruz are islands in which volcanic Pacific archipelago?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I don't think it's the Galapagos Islands.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47I think it's Hawaii.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Hawaii...
0:06:51 > 0:06:53It is the Galapagos Islands.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58So the same as Alison, getting the second one wrong.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Gives the Egghead the chance to take the lead.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Judith, what's the official currency of Switzerland?
0:07:07 > 0:07:12They famously stay out of the Euro, don't they? Like us. Wisely.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- I think it's the Swiss franc. - I love the way you say "you think".
0:07:15 > 0:07:18This WOULD fall to you. How many accounts have you got there?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Well, I'm not an illegal currency operator.- It's perfectly legal.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24But nice and secure, isn't it?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Or is it Liechtenstein for you?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28That IS illegal, isn't it?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Switzerland used to be illegal, and so did Liechtenstein.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33It's not illegal to keep your money offshore,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- only if you don't declare it. - Oh, right.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38You can keep it anywhere you like in the world.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40You've got to tell the Inland Revenue.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I've only got Pounds and Euros.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46The official currency of Switzerland is, yes, the Swiss Franc.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Puts you in the lead. David, you've got to get this.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Somalia is bordered by Djibouti, Ethiopia and which other country?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I'm not sure...
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I don't think it's Kenya.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I think it's Angola.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Angola. I'm afraid it's not. It's Kenya.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18A carbon copy of the last round
0:08:18 > 0:08:23in terms of the pattern of scoring and the end result.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26David, you won't be in the final round. Judith, you will.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Come back and join your teams.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32OK, Harry Lime, a bit of bad luck with those first two rounds.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Two more to go, therefore it could be all square in the final round.
0:08:36 > 0:08:42For now, you've lost two brains from the final round. The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Let's play our next round. This subject is Food & Drink.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Who'd like to play?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Can't be David or Alison.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Vernon, Bill or Travis?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53It's Verne, and can we take on Kevin, please?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Aha!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Nice change(!)- What a surprise(!) - They know you so well.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01OK, let's have Vernon and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05OK, Vernon, let's see if you can get a bit better with the luck.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18As you've identified, this is far from Kevin's strongest subject.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20In fact, it's by far your weakest subject.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- I think that's a fair assumption, yes.- OK.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Good luck, Vernon. First question...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Who was the original host of the TV cooking show, MasterChef?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Don't feel as though it's Ainsley Harriott.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm going to go for Loyd Grossman.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Loyd Grossman.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Electrified Harry Lime there,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50your other team-mates. It's the right answer. Loyd Grossman.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well worked out, Vernon.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Could have been tricky. OK, Kevin.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01In terms of volume, a standard tablespoon is equal to how many teaspoons?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I don't think it's as many...
0:10:07 > 0:10:09So one doesn't make sense.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I don't think it's as many as nine. It must be three.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17OK. Yeah, of course it is. The right answer.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Funnily enough, I actually thought it was five.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Ah, I see!- So there we are.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Just as well that wasn't sudden-death!- It was, yeah!
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Teaspoon's 5ml, tablespoon's 15.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Yeah. So, three times, there we are.
0:10:31 > 0:10:355ml and 15, the exact measures there from Judith.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40OK. Vernon, Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune
0:10:40 > 0:10:43are regions in which wine-growing area of France?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune
0:10:49 > 0:10:53are regions in which wine-growing area of France?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I'm fairly sure they're both reds.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02Champagne is not famous for reds to my knowledge.
0:11:02 > 0:11:08So, Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune...
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I'm always surprised when I look at the label
0:11:11 > 0:11:14to see where things are actually from.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17You manage to look at the label?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20It's always gone before I get round to looking at the label!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22You've got the wrong friends!
0:11:26 > 0:11:33And it's a gue... It's not a guess, it's a feeling that it is Bordeaux.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36OK.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Reds, Bordeaux.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41It's not. They're burgundies.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Regions in Burgundy. There we go again, second question.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49No members of Harry Lime have got their second question right yet.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51But you've got Kevin there,
0:11:51 > 0:11:57who's been at sixes and sevens in this category over the last few days and weeks.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59So there might be another chance.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Cawl, a stew or broth often made with lamb or bacon,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06is a traditional dish of which country of the UK?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Having just recently been in Wales, I hope it's Wales.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Did you have any cawl?
0:12:15 > 0:12:21I can't remember. I went to a banquet at Cardiff Castle...
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Judith's place?- ..just about a week ago... Well, one of them.
0:12:24 > 0:12:30I went there about a week ago and we had various Welsh delicacies
0:12:30 > 0:12:32in the course of this banquet,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35including things like laver bread and all that sort of thing.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I think we did actually have some cawl thrown in there,
0:12:38 > 0:12:43but there was so much going on... Anyway, I will go for Wales.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48Yeah, got the right answer. Two to you. You have to get this, Vernon.
0:12:48 > 0:12:54What name is given to the cut of venison or other meat consisting of the back leg and loin?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02The saddle is presumably where the saddle on a horse would go,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04so that would be the back.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07I'll go for shank.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15The name given to the cut of venison or other meat
0:13:15 > 0:13:17consisting of the back leg and loin...
0:13:17 > 0:13:19is haunch.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23You will not be playing in the final round, Vernon.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Kevin, you've won the round. You'll be playing.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Please rejoin your teams.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31As it stands, Harry Lime have lost three brains from the final round.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Next category today is Sport, the last before the head-to-head.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Who'd like to play this one? Has to be Bill or Travis.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- That will be me.- Bill.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46OK, Bill. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I'm going to take on Chris.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Good, right. You wanna play Chris at Sport. You can.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Both, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Bill, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I would like to go second, please.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09OK, changing it around. We guarantee it won't be the same pattern
0:14:09 > 0:14:12as the previous three rounds! Eggheads go first.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Chris, where did Manchester City Football Club play their home games
0:14:16 > 0:14:19until the end of the 2003 season?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Where did Manchester City play their home games
0:14:25 > 0:14:28until the end of the 2003 season?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30That was at Maine Road.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Maine Road is the right answer, Chris.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37And they play now at...?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Manchester City Stadium. - City of Manchester Stadium.
0:14:39 > 0:14:45- Some new stadium up Openshaw way, I think.- It's also called Eastlands.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Yeah, Eastlands, OK. First question to you then, Bill.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52How many times did Tim Henman reach the Wimbledon singles semi-finals?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59How many times did Tim Henman reach the Wimbledon singles semi-finals?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It certainly wasn't six.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06That leaves two or four.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11I think he reached the semi-final just twice.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Two?- Yeah.- I suppose you're...
0:15:16 > 0:15:18as a betting-shop manager, you're sad he retired,
0:15:18 > 0:15:19took a lot of patriotic bets?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23We certainly did and it's still coming in for Andy Murray,
0:15:23 > 0:15:24so bring it on!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Tim Henman, Wimbledon singles semi-finals...
0:15:28 > 0:15:29four times. Four times.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Right, Chris, second question.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40Which cricketer scored his 39th Test century in January 2008?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Brian Lara's a very prolific run-scorer,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50but I think he's semi-retired now.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I don't think it was Ricky Ponting either.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I don't think he's a very prolific goal...
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Goalscorer! Run-scorer.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01So I think it's Sachin Tendulkar.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Sachin Tendulkar is the right answer. Two to you.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Bill, let's get you off the mark.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12What is the final event in the Olympic heptathlon?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What's the final event in the Olympic heptathlon?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26The DEC-athlon is 1,500 metres.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29But we're talking HEPT-athlon.
0:16:29 > 0:16:37So I think, again not 100% sure, it's the 800 metres.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Yes, it is. The right answer. 800 metres, final event
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- in the heptathlon.- Hallelujah!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45But Chris has a chance to clinch it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51- Chris, in sweep-rowing events, what name is given to the rower nearest the cox?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00In sweep-rowing events, what name for the rower nearest the cox?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04He's the one they can all see from behind when they're going backwards.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07He takes the stroke from the cox, so he's known as the stroke.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13The stroke is the right answer, Chris. You've won the round.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Bill, you won't play in the final round.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Please come and rejoin your teams.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Bill, I mentioned there the betting-shop operation.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25What's the biggest day of the year?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Still the Grand National?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Very much so. - By what proportion above all other events is the Grand National?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35I'd say about six or seven times a normal Saturday.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38After the Grand National, what's the next biggest?
0:17:38 > 0:17:46- Always horses?- Cheltenham Festival. - Are you allowed to bet?- Not with us. But with other people, yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51OK, this is what we've been playing towards, the final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:17:53 > 0:17:56won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00So, Alison, Vernon, Bill and David from Harry Lime,
0:18:00 > 0:18:01please leave the studio.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07So, Travis, you're playing to win Harry Lime £3,000.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Judith, Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris,
0:18:08 > 0:18:13you're playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Just to confirm that to you, Travis. And you are allowed to confer,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and I'm afraid that only applies to the Eggheads.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Travis, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31And Travis, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32I'll go first, please.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35OK, good luck, Travis.
0:18:35 > 0:18:41First question to you, then. What is the name of the 2,800-acre Californian ranch
0:18:41 > 0:18:44bought by Michael Jackson in 1988?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51What's the name of the 2,800-acre Californian ranch
0:18:51 > 0:18:54bought by Michael Jackson in 1988?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58They're all three fictional names.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Neverland is also the name of his ranch.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Neverland.- Neverland? Yep, that's the right answer.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Good start, Travis.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Neverland.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Eggheads, which British actor who starred in 1997 film Nil By Mouth
0:19:17 > 0:19:21won 80 of his 88 fights as an amateur welterweight boxer?
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Which British actor who starred in the 1997 film Nil By Mouth
0:19:29 > 0:19:35won 80 of his 88 fights as an amateur welterweight boxer?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38That would be Ray Winstone.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40It is Ray Winstone, yes.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Former boxer.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44OK, second question, Travis.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47The Trooping the Colour ceremony,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50which publicly celebrates the sovereign's official birthday
0:19:50 > 0:19:53and dates back in its present form to the mid-18th century,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55takes place in which month?
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Trooping the Colour,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02celebrating the sovereign's official birthday
0:20:02 > 0:20:06and dating back in its present form to the mid-18th century,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08takes place in which month?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11It used to take place on the real birthday
0:20:11 > 0:20:15but the birthday turned out to be February one year
0:20:15 > 0:20:16and the weather was so bad
0:20:16 > 0:20:22that the King decided to move it into a warmer month, and they chose June.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23June.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25There it is, Trooping the Colour is in June.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Full answer, correct as well.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31OK, Eggheads,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33you're behind. This is your second question.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37What does the Latin phrase "Dei gratia" mean?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45What does the Latin phrase "Dei gratia" mean?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50That's "By the Grace of God".
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- You hope?- No. We know.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Some of us did Latin.- Ah.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Some of us were old enough to speak it originally.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02"Dei gratia" means "By the Grace of God".
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It's the right answer, Eggheads, two to you.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06OK, Travis.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11In the Bible, which sense does Saul lose on the road to Damascus?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22He was struck blind, so he lost his sight.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26He did, that's correct. So, three for Travis. It hasn't gone well
0:21:26 > 0:21:27in the head-to-heads,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29it's going well in the final round for Harry Lime.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33That could win it if you don't get this, Eggheads.
0:21:33 > 0:21:39Which word describes the practice of creating and reading codes?
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Which word describes the practice of creating and reading codes?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50That would be cryptology.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Fascinating, isn't it?- It is. It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57We go, for the first time in this game, to sudden death.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01OK, Travis, that means you don't get any choices now.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I've just got to hear an answer.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Which Canadian-born media tycoon
0:22:07 > 0:22:11was given a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence in December 2007
0:22:11 > 0:22:14for criminal fraud and obstructing justice?
0:22:14 > 0:22:21Which Canadian-born media tycoon was given a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence in December 2007
0:22:21 > 0:22:23for criminal fraud and obstructing justice?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27That was Conrad Black.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29It was Conrad Black. That's correct, Travis.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Pressure back on the Eggheads.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Which veteran British rocker was crowned Beard of the Year
0:22:35 > 0:22:40in 2007 after his band re-formed for a one-off concert
0:22:40 > 0:22:46in honour of Atlantic Records' co-founder Ahmet Ertegun?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Which veteran British rocker was crowned Beard of the Year
0:22:48 > 0:22:53in 2007 after his band re-formed for a one-off concert
0:22:53 > 0:22:56in honour of Atlantic Records' co-founder Ahmet Ertegun?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Is the band Led Zeppelin? - That certainly occurred to me.
0:23:01 > 0:23:08That's the first thing. I'm just trying to think if they re-formed because of Ertegun.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Say it out loud.- Led Zeppelin.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Which bands re-formed last year? It was a one-off performance.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Yeah.- Led Zeppelin did one.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- Yeah, and then they had...John Bonham's son was the drummer.- Yeah.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Who are the three original members of Led Zeppelin? I don't know.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham. Well...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Robert Plant's the singer.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35He never used to have a beard,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38but Led Zeppelin was the first thing that occurred to me.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Do you know if Jimmy Page ever had a beard?- I don't.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46I don't recall Robert Plant ever having a beard, but...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- We're assuming it is Led Zeppelin. - Yes.- It might not be.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I can't think of anybody else.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58- We probably have to hedge our bets and go for Robert Plant.- I think so.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- We don't know it. - I need an answer, Eggheads.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Shall we...?- Yeah. Shall we go for that?- What's your answer?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09The only band we can think of that re-formed for just one performance
0:24:09 > 0:24:16is Led Zeppelin. And out of those, we are going to go for Robert Plant.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- Robert Plant.- Yes.- We're hoping it's him, not Jimmy Page.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22It is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Robert Plant.- Well done.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I'm astonished you didn't...
0:24:26 > 0:24:31- Ahmet Ertegun, as well. - Yes, that's the first thing...
0:24:31 > 0:24:35The whole re-forming was in his honour. It should've led you straight to Led Zep.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- I couldn't visualise Plant with a beard.- We got to Led Zeppelin.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- Eventually.- No! - The prize was presented by the Beard Liberation Front.
0:24:41 > 0:24:48It was designed to highlight those who promote a positive image of hirsuteness in the public arena.
0:24:48 > 0:24:54- Do you know who was second? Beard of the Year?- It wasn't you, was it?- Rafa Benitez.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56And Monty Panesar in third.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00YOU were nearly second there. After cruising through
0:25:00 > 0:25:03the head-to-heads, it just goes to show the vagaries of Eggheads.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05But we continue.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Nearly did it there, Travis.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Another question for you, Travis.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13In 1998, which man, now a TV presenter,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17became the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest and return alive?
0:25:17 > 0:25:22In 1998, which man, now a TV presenter,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26became the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest and return alive?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32The only man I know that does things like that's Ben Fogle.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Is that your answer, Travis? - Yes, it'll have to be.- Ben Fogle.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Intrepid TV presenter.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44It's not the right answer, Travis. It's not Ben Fogle.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- It could've been yours, Eggheads. Do you know?- Is it Bear Grylls?- Yes.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51OK, the answer is Bear Grylls, not Ben Fogle.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54So you have a chance, Eggheads, to win the round
0:25:54 > 0:25:57after that agonising question the last time round.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00You did manage to get Robert Plant in the end. Can you get this?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Which architect designed the Gherkin,
0:26:03 > 0:26:09more formally known as the Swiss Re Tower, or 30 St Mary Axe, in London?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Which architect designed the Gherkin,
0:26:11 > 0:26:16more formally known as the Swiss Re Tower, or 30 St Mary Axe, in London?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- It's Norman Foster or Richard Rogers.- It's one of the two. - Either Foster or Rogers.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25I think it's Foster because of the elegance of it. It's more his style.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- I think it's Foster, too. - He did the British Museum.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33- Hold on, just give it a second. - THEY DISCUSS FURTHER
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- More disarray!- They do this one-upmanship. What was the last major thing in London...?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Too many of the Eggheads got through to the final round!
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- But it's his style.- Is it?- If you think of the British Museum roof
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- and what the Gherkin looks like... - Oh, fine, yes, OK.- So...?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- You want to go for Foster?- Yeah. OK.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56We believe it's Norman Foster.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- Normally, you tell me it IS. You just "believe"?- No, no.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04It sounds cocky when you say, "It is."
0:27:04 > 0:27:10- Also, we've lost our nerve completely.- Lost your nerve, yeah? - DERMOT LAUGHS
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Even if you get this wrong, you won't lose the game.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Norman Foster, you think, designed the Gherkin.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21The architect of the Gherkin is...
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Sir Norman Foster. Correct, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Travis, bad luck there. Honour completely restored in that final round.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37I've seen Bear Grylls' name.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41I thought it was something to do with food and drink, so I left it alone.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46- DERMOT LAUGHS - Thought it was some kind of exotic cookery programme, did you?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48He does quite a lot of bush cookery too,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51but that was the one that caught you out. Bear Grylls
0:27:51 > 0:27:55and Everest. But great quizzing there on your own, Travis.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58A pity those head-to-heads went against the others in Harry Lime.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Thanks very much for playing here today, guys.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05They still reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £3,000,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Join us again to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21£4,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
