0:00:04 > 0:00:08These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably 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 a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35You might recognise them. They've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36They are the Eggheads.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Challenging our quiz Goliaths today are Original Approach,
0:00:40 > 0:00:44a team of good friends who frequently win the quiz
0:00:44 > 0:00:48at their local pub, the Approach, in Bethnal Green, east London.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Miranda, I'm 24, and I'm a fund-raising assistant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Kieran, I'm 24 and I work in social housing.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Erin, I'm 26 and I'm a charity fundraiser.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Richard, I'm 22 and I'm a graduate student.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm Sinead. I'm 24 and I'm a sales executive.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Welcome to you, Original Approach. You get the team name from the pub.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- How competitive is this quiz? - Fairly competitive.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Yeah. We get quite into it. - And how did you all get together?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Was it quizzing, university, or is there a family connection?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I went to university with Sinead.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26She's the twin sister of Kieran.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I live with Erin, and Richard and Kieran went to university together.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35You've come together to try to beat the Eggheads today. Let's see if you can do it.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. However, if they fail
0:01:39 > 0:01:43to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Original Approach, the challengers actually won the last game, proving it can be done.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51That means £1,000 says you cannot beat the Eggheads.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Let's see if you can. Here's our first category.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55It's arts and books.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Who would like to play this?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Is that going to be you, Miranda?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I'd rather not, but if no one else wants to do it, I will.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- No-one else wants to?- Don't think so.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11- I will do it by default. - All right, Miranda, and I suppose
0:02:11 > 0:02:15by starting off the game, you have got any Egghead you like to play.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16I'll take on Chris, please.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Chris, OK, arts and books.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Let's see how you do. Can I ask you to go to the question room
0:02:22 > 0:02:24so you can't confer with your team-mates?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28It's arts and books. Would you like to go first or second, Miranda?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I'll go second, please.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Second it is, then.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Eggheads first. Chris...
0:02:34 > 0:02:39what is the term for the part of a book that faces out when the book is on a shelf
0:02:39 > 0:02:43and typically bears the title and author's name?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Nicely blocked in gold if you're lucky - it's the spine.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52The spine it is, of course. That is the right answer.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Miranda, first question to you, then.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00What name was given to the artistic movement of the 1950s that focused
0:03:00 > 0:03:03on the grimy realities of working-class life in Britain?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12I'm fairly sure that is kitchen-sink movement.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13That's the right answer.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Won't dwell on the outdoor toilet one. OK. Chris.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Second question. Who wrote
0:03:21 > 0:03:25the racy novel, Lace, first published in 1982?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Hmm. It's not my sort of thing at all.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Before the choices came up, I thought Shirley Conran,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37so I'll go with Shirley Conran.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39A "racy" novel. I love that- racy!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41A racy, lacy novel!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44And it is the right answer. Shirley Conran is correct.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Author of Lace. Second question, Miranda.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54The kindly Mr Brownlow is a character in which Charles Dickens novel?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Oh dear. I'm awful on Dickens.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05It's going to be a complete guess.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I'm going to go with...
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Hmm. A Tale Of Two Cities.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18The kindly Mr Brownlow is a character in Oliver Twist,
0:04:18 > 0:04:23not A Tale Of Two Cities.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Chris, having been put in first and got two correct
0:04:25 > 0:04:28means you win it if you give me the correct answer on this one.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Which Nobel Prize winner wrote the series of science fiction books
0:04:32 > 0:04:35entitled Canopus In Argos?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Oh!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I don't think it was Gunter Grass.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49He specialises in German angst rather than sci-fi.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54I don't think Doris Lessing, who's an old lady, would write sci-fi.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I will go, just on a pure hunch, with Toni Morrison.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01OK, Toni Morrison, Canopus In Argos,
0:05:01 > 0:05:06it's Doris Lessing. So, let off there, Miranda.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Facing ejection. This will keep you in, take us to sudden death.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Which artist's sculpture of his head made out of nine pints
0:05:14 > 0:05:18of his frozen, congealed blood was rumoured to have melted
0:05:18 > 0:05:22when Charles Saatchi and Nigella Lawson's freezer was unplugged by builders?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40OK. Sounds interesting.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I've really got no idea again.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Oh, complete guess, Gavin Turk.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50OK, Gavin Turk, you think,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53did this rather grisly sculpture
0:05:53 > 0:05:58rumoured to have melted after the unplugging of a freezer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02It's by Marc Quinn, not Gavin Turk, which means you are through, anyway,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Chris. The two you got
0:06:05 > 0:06:08is enough to book you a place in the final round.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12You won't be playing, Miranda. Would you rejoin your teams?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15A valiant attempt to see off the reigning International Mastermind
0:06:15 > 0:06:18but it was not to be for you, Miranda.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20It means you won't play in the final round.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24We move on to our next head to head today, it's entertainment.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Who would like to play this?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Sinead works in media.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Doesn't mean I'll get it right, but I'll give it a go.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34All right, Sinead? Which Egghead would you like to play?
0:06:34 > 0:06:41- It can't be Chris.- Kevin, I think, yeah.- Kevin, on entertainment.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Three times World Quiz champion.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47See if you can do it, Sinead. Please take your positions in the question room.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Sinead, I understand you run marathons, including the London Marathon.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Yes, I ran that recently. - Do you train really hard?
0:06:55 > 0:07:01Not as hard as I perhaps should, but I've done a few long runs beforehand to prepare.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03So, how did you do? What was your time?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I did it in three hours 38.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Crikey!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- You are impressive.- It was good fun. - Good fun?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17And you do other charity fund-raising activities
0:07:17 > 0:07:20including some rather weird glass walking?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I did fire walking and glass walking last year
0:07:23 > 0:07:24for a local East End charity.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- How do you do it?- It's all in the mind, really.- No, it's on the feet.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33You have to be mentally prepared more than anything else.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35It's not as hard as it looks.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39You could combine it with the marathon. 26.2 miles of that?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- That might be more of a challenge. - This is a challenge as well.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46You have the three times World Quiz champion facing you.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Do you want to go first or second? - I would like to go first.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Good luck.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00Which TV game show featured Aztec, Futuristic and Medieval zones?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It was a favourite game show of mine as a child - the Crystal Maze.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11The Crystal Maze it was. That's the right answer. Good start.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14OK, Kevin...
0:08:14 > 0:08:17the fourth Rambo film released in 2008
0:08:17 > 0:08:21depicts the Vietnam war veteran on a rescue mission in which country?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26The fourth Rambo film, released in 2008,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30depicts the Vietnam war veteran on a rescue mission in which country?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- It's Burma. - That is the right answer.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Sinead, second question.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41Which female singer featured on the Pet Shop Boys' 1987 UK Top 10 hit single,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43What Have I Done To Deserve This?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Um, I don't know. I'm a bit young.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I don't think it was Lulu because she's done stuff with other...
0:08:54 > 0:09:00um...boy bands and stuff, although she's probably a good choice. Um...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I think I'm going to go with Dusty Springfield.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10OK, What Have I Done To Deserve This was the Pet Shop Boys and...
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Dusty Springfield.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14It's the right answer.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18It reached two in the charts and was the first of those collaborations
0:09:18 > 0:09:20in the early '90s
0:09:20 > 0:09:25because then the KLF did it with Tammy Wynette, Take That with Lulu.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29It was really the first one to take that sort of style.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31OK, Kevin, second question.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35What was the name of the dummy of ventriloquist, Ray Allen?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45That goes back a bit, doesn't it?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48He had more than one dummy, but his most famous one was
0:09:48 > 0:09:53this aristocratic character, and I think it was Lord Charles.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Think?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I'm not 100 per cent certain, but I think it was Lord Charles.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Yes it was. Lord Charles is correct. OK, Sinead.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06In which European country did Charlie Chaplin die?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Oh God, I don't know. Um...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Um...I'm going to go with Spain.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Don't really have a good reason.- OK. No reason. Charlie Chaplin died...
0:10:25 > 0:10:27in Switzerland.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Where he lived for some years, didn't he?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33He died on Christmas Day 1977, I think.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36That's when Elvis went too, didn't he?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40WC Fields died on Christmas Day 1945. So there.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Right, the Eggheads showing their rather bizarre knowledge
0:10:46 > 0:10:49of celebrity death dates. Kevin...
0:10:49 > 0:10:52who released the hip-hop albums, Fear Of A Black Planet
0:10:52 > 0:10:56and It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I don't actually know this one.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09The title of the first album doesn't ring any bells at all.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Somewhere, I've heard of It Takes A Nation Of Millions.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm going to go for Public Enemy.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Something in there, because it's the right answer.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Yes, Public Enemy is correct.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Sinead just edged out there on the last question by Kevin.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31You won't be playing in the final round. Please rejoin your teams.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36Original Approach, you've lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40And this head-to-head is science.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Who would like to play this? Kieran, Erin or Richard?
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- Richard, I think, because he's a graduate.- I think that's me.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50And which Egghead? It can't be Chris or Kevin.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Daphne, CJ or Judith.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I think I'd like to take on CJ.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Look at that stare - look at his face.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01It's starting before we get in the question room.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Better get you in there quickly. Richard and CJ, please.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Richard, there seems to be a marathon theme creeping in here.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- You've run the London Marathon? - Twice now.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- What was your time? Did you beat Sinead?- I didn't, unfortunately.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- Hey, Sinead there! Sub four hours, was it?- Yes, I got 3.50.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26OK. That's good. CJ, have you run the London Marathon?
0:12:26 > 0:12:31I've never run the London. I've done seven marathons, but never London.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36But you're going to put that right, aren't you?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I promise I will run the 2009 London Marathon.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Is this going to be an Eggheads team?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Well, Daphne's certainly coming.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- No way!- You could carry her on your back.- No thank you!
0:12:48 > 0:12:51OK. Let's play the round.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's Science. Would you like to go first or second, Richard?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I would like to go first.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Here you go, Richard. Best of luck with this. What is honeysuckle?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11It's really not my strong point,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15flowers and associated things.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I will go with a hunch, I think it is a shrub.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Work it out the other way. It's not a fungus or a moss.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29It is the right answer, yes. Honeysuckle.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34CJ, a root canal is a cavity in which part of the human body?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I'm just trying to visualise a root canal in the eye.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41I think it might be a tooth.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45It just might. That is the right answer.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47OK, Richard,
0:13:47 > 0:13:52what is the name of the pivot about which a lever turns?
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Well, it's not the plane.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Um...
0:14:06 > 0:14:10I've never heard of axis used in that context,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12so I'm going to go with fulcrum.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16The pivot about which a lever turns is a fulcrum.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19It's correct, Richard. Two to you.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21CJ...
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Corriedale and Polwarth are varieties of which animal?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I hate these. I don't know this one.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Corriedale, it's up north, they like sheep, so it's sheep.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It is sheep.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Yes. It is the right answer.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49OK.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Richard, what is the only artery in the human body which does not carry
0:14:54 > 0:14:56oxygenated blood?
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Er...the pulmonary vein...
0:15:11 > 0:15:15is the main vein carrying...
0:15:16 > 0:15:19..oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart, but I wasn't sure
0:15:19 > 0:15:22that could also be called the pulmonary artery.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I'll go with pulmonary artery
0:15:24 > 0:15:28because artery and vein are probably interchangeable.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Pulmonary is probably the important word there.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36It is. It's the right answer. Well done, Richard.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It puts you in a strong position. If CJ doesn't get this,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42you will be in the final round. CJ...
0:15:42 > 0:15:45after oxygen, what is the most abundant element
0:15:45 > 0:15:47found in the earth's crust?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55That is silicon.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00It is silicon. That is correct.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Well done, CJ.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04That takes us for the first time to sudden death.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07That means, Richard, we take away those multiple choices
0:16:07 > 0:16:10and I'll just hear an answer from you. Here you go.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14To which family of birds does the jay belong?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18J-A-Y. To which family of birds does the jay belong?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Is it a pigeon?- Is that your answer?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I don't even know whether a pigeon is a family of birds.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Um...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I really have no idea, I'm afraid.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45So, are you going to have a guess, Richard?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I'm going to have to go with pigeon.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50OK, take that as your answer. Pigeon.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52No.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's not, indeed, the family of pigeons.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59You really don't know your birds, do you? CJ?
0:16:59 > 0:17:05- I would go for crow. - Yes, it's a crow. Corvidae.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07A chance for CJ to take the round.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10In 2006, which country overtook the United States
0:17:10 > 0:17:16as the world's biggest producer of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I think that's probably China.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31It is definitely China, CJ, you're through to the final round.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Bad luck, Richard. Thought you'd do it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37You did really well with your pulmonary artery
0:17:37 > 0:17:40but you didn't know your pigeons from your crows.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Would you both please go back and join your teams?
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Well, Original Approach, this is quite an original approach to playing Eggheads,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53lulling them into a false sense of security.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56You have lost three brains from the final round
0:17:56 > 0:18:01and the Eggheads are all still there. This is your last chance to knock an Egghead out.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Politics is the subject.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Who'd like to play, from Erin or Kieran?
0:18:05 > 0:18:10- I did politics as a degree, so... - Go for it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14OK, Erin, who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Judith or Daphne?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Daphne, I guess.- Let's have Erin and Daphne into the question room.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Erin, you are from the United States. What brought you to this country?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- I came here to do a degree, actually, last year.- A postgrad?- Yes.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30You mentioned politics. Was your postgrad in politics?
0:18:30 > 0:18:34No, that was my undergraduate. I did a development studies degree.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Would you like to go first or second?- I will go first, please.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Best of luck, here you go.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48What term has come to mean that an MP has changed political parties?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'm not sure.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I don't know too much about British politics, unfortunately.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I'm going to go with crossing the Chamber.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09OK, if you don't know too much about it, they're all plausible,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12but it's crossing the floor, the floor of the house.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Means an MP has changed political party.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20So, Daphne, which term refers to a government comprising members of
0:19:20 > 0:19:25two or more parties formed because no party has an outright majority?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37It's a coalition, Dermot.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40It is a coalition. I'm sure franchising
0:19:40 > 0:19:43will come somewhere, sometime. Erin, let's get you off the mark.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Which Conservative politician lost his Putney seat in the 1997 election
0:19:48 > 0:19:52to slow hand-clapping and jeers of "Out, out, out!"
0:19:52 > 0:19:54from the multi-millionaire James Goldsmith?
0:19:58 > 0:20:03Again, since I know so much about British politics... Goodness!
0:20:03 > 0:20:07I'm going to have to do a guess, unfortunately,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and I will try David Mellor.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13OK. Have you heard of any of those three?
0:20:13 > 0:20:18- I'm afraid not.- No, OK.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20In 1997. Long before you came to this country.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24But it is David Mellor. It is a good guess.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26It is the right answer.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28OK, so one to you. Daphne...
0:20:28 > 0:20:31which Labour politician has often been said
0:20:31 > 0:20:35to resemble the children's TV character, the Demon Headmaster?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I've no idea!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I have never seen the Demon Headmaster.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Jack Straw.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03It is Jack Straw. If you have seen the Demon Headmaster...
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I have never heard that before. It's the glasses.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It couldn't possibly be John Prescott, could it?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Jack Straw is correct.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16A guess by Daphne. I thought it was good news for Erin.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It means you've got to get this, then, Erin.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25In 2007, Wendy Alexander became the leader of which political group?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35The Scottish National Party?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41It's the Scottish Labour Party. Wendy Alexander took over as leader
0:21:41 > 0:21:45of the Scottish Labour Party, which means we end the round there,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48after Daphne got her Demon Headmaster right,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51which means she has assembled enough ticks to put her
0:21:51 > 0:21:55through to the final round. Those questions really didn't fall your way,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Erin, with your international political background.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Three straight questions about British politics.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03It means you won't play in the final round.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10This is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14It's time for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16But those who lost the head-to-heads
0:22:16 > 0:22:19can't take part in this round, so Miranda , Erin, Richard
0:22:19 > 0:22:23and Sinead, would you all leave the studio now, please?
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Kieran, you're playing to win Original Approach £1,000. Eggheads,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32you're playing for something money can't buy - your reputation.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40The questions are all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Kieran, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- Do you want to go first or second? - I will go first, please, Dermot.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56OK, Kieran, you have decided to go first. It's general knowledge. Let's see if you can beat the Eggheads.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59First question coming your way now.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04To which part of London did Rupert Murdoch move his newspaper business overnight in 1986,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07sparking a bitter industrial dispute?
0:23:10 > 0:23:16I'm pretty sure that in 1986 they moved the headquarters of
0:23:16 > 0:23:19News International to Wapping.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Sinead nodding there, she should know.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27She works for News International.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29It's the right answer. Wapping is correct.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34OK, Eggheads, what is the name of the West Indian Dance
0:23:34 > 0:23:40in which dancers bend over backwards and pass under a pole that is lowered slightly each time?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50That is limbo.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55Limbo is correct. Eggheads, it is 1-1. OK, Kieran,
0:23:55 > 0:24:00in March 2004, which country became the first in the world
0:24:00 > 0:24:03to impose an outright ban on smoking in workplaces?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11OK. I know quite a few countries now have a ban on smoking in workplaces.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16The Americans are traditionally quite anti-smoking,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19apart from the southern states which produce a lot of tobacco.
0:24:19 > 0:24:25However, New Zealand, they are all quite fit and running about and stuff
0:24:25 > 0:24:29and jumping up and down off bridges, that kind of thing.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30So they wouldn't smoke.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Having said that, for some reason in the back of my mind
0:24:36 > 0:24:40I've got this little Irish voice telling me that it was there.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I'm going to go for Ireland.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Is that in your background, with a name like yours?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I'm from an Irish family, yes.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53And it is Ireland, it is the answer, yes. In March 2004.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56An outright ban on smoking in workplaces.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58You're in the lead. Eggheads,
0:24:58 > 0:25:02fashion designer Philip Treacy specialises in which item of clothing?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07He specialises in hats.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10How many of his have you got?
0:25:10 > 0:25:15I haven't got any, I'd love to have his hats, but I haven't got any.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Philip Treacy specialises in designing hats, so it's 2-2.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Kieran, see if you can get this
0:25:22 > 0:25:24and put pressure on the Eggheads.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29In Arthurian legend, who is the keeper of the Holy Grail?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Hmm. Very difficult question.
0:25:42 > 0:25:48The Lady of the lake gave Arthur Excalibur.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51She might also have kept the Grail
0:25:51 > 0:25:54to have a drink every now and then or something
0:25:54 > 0:25:59but the Fisher King doesn't ring any bells at all.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01The Green Knight?
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Again, it sounds like Greenpeace's new picture slogan or something.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12I think I'm going to go for...
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- ..the lady of the lake.- The Lady of the Lake, keeper of the Holy Grail.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21The keeper of the Holy Grail is the Fisher King.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26The Fisher King. They're all in Arthurian legend.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- The Lady of the Lake has got the sword.- Yes.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- And the Green Knight fought Sir Gawain.- And the Fisher King?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Permanently wounded.- I see.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41He has a wound that can only be healed by the true finder
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- of the Holy Grail.- I see.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46You have a chance to win again, Eggheads.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Which architect, famous for the Seagram Building in New York,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53used the term "skin and bones"
0:26:53 > 0:26:57to describe the steel covered with glass structure of his building?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08THEY CONFER
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- It's certainly not Aalto.- No.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Are we done?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28We think it's Mies van der Rohe.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31It is the right answer, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38They're back on form.
0:27:38 > 0:27:45A full set of Eggheads, Kieran, brains humming like little generators there again,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48eager to avenge their last defeat. You ran into them
0:27:48 > 0:27:52hungry for a victory. So you won't be going home with the money today.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Thanks to all of you sitting behind there, Original Approach, for playing Eggheads today.
0:27:56 > 0:28:02The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. They reign supreme over quiz land once again.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06I'm afraid you don't go home with the £1,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Eggheads, congratulations, who will beat you?
0:28:09 > 0:28:14Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16£2,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
