0:00:04 > 0:00:10These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is...
0:00:19 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where 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 recognise them as Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40They are the Eggheads. Taking on our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:41are The Brian's Trust.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43The team all met whilst taking part
0:00:43 > 0:00:45in quizzes at pubs in Dorset
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and have won the Bournemouth District Quiz League Championships
0:00:48 > 0:00:51for the last three years. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi. I'm Brian. I'm 42, and I'm an activities coordinator.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Hell. I'm Jim. I'm 61 and I'm a local government officer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Ian. I'm 48 and I too am a local government officer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm Bob.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm 61. I'm a planetarium operator.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hi. I'm Brian. I'm 40 and I am a quality engineer.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15This isn't just a misspelling, is it? Brian's Trust.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I suppose you're Brians with brains, are you?
0:01:17 > 0:01:22Brains. Comes from the Brains Trust which basically goes back
0:01:22 > 0:01:24to the days of the old radio show
0:01:24 > 0:01:27when you had the Brains Trust originally
0:01:27 > 0:01:30then it went onto television and they had the discussion programme
0:01:30 > 0:01:34with the questions of the day and it was in some ways
0:01:34 > 0:01:37the original quiz show and then Jim pointed to me
0:01:37 > 0:01:42that we had two Brians, and an Ian, and the idea sprung from there.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Get it all in there, and like the Brains Trust, do you have
0:01:45 > 0:01:48different areas of expertise, hopefully?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Yeah, hopefully, I think we've got a few bases covered, hopefully.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55OK. Brian's Trust, let's see how you do today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Every day there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06The Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:06 > 0:02:07which means £4,000 says
0:02:07 > 0:02:09you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Let's see if you can. Here we go.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15First head to head then, and today it's Politics.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Who'd like to play this?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Not me! Like a lamb to the slaughter.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22OK. So is that Brian?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Somebody's got to go first.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Somebody's got to do it. - What a hero!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31OK. So it's going to be Brian White.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34OK. Brian, which Egghead would you like to play?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I'll take on Judith.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Brian and Millionaire winner, Judith, into the question room.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Brian, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- I think I'll go second on this occasion.- OK.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46It's you first then, Judith.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Here's your question.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52What's the official residence of the French President?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58What's the official residence of the French President?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I love the idea of him living in the Arc de Triomphe!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04It's the Elysee Palace.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Elysee Palace is correct.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09OK, Brian,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12first question to you. Where did Nelson Mandela spend
0:03:12 > 0:03:1618 years of his 27-year prison sentence?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, I think Rikers Island is in America.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Dassen Island, I've never heard of...
0:03:26 > 0:03:27and it sounds sort of Dutch,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31and you've got South Africa which has got a lot of Dutch-type people there.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Robben Island rings a bell from that year.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I'm going to go for Robben Island.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37You'd be right to. Correct.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Robben Island, so one each.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Judith, in 2006,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Romano Prodi, a former president of the European Commission
0:03:46 > 0:03:49became prime minister of which country for the second time?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56That was Italy... and he's just un-become Prime Minister...
0:03:56 > 0:03:58for the second time.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00It is the right answer, yes. Italy is correct.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Brian.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05In which year did Edmund Barton become
0:04:05 > 0:04:07the first Prime Minister of Australia?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Well, 1701 seems very, very early.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I'm not sure when they discovered Australia
0:04:19 > 0:04:23or even the fact that Captain Cook went there.
0:04:23 > 0:04:241901...
0:04:24 > 0:04:26No. I'm going to go for the middle answer of 1801.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Yes. 1801.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32OK. 1801. Edmund Barton.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34100 years later. It's 1901
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Edmund Barton became the first Australian Prime Minister.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So, a chance for Judith here.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44If you get this, you're through to the final round.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Which overweight American President had to have a special bath installed
0:04:47 > 0:04:52in the White House after he got stuck in the standard-sized tub?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58This is a CJ question, not me!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- American presidents?- Yeah.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06I don't think it's Theodore Roosevelt.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10so it's either Woodrow Wilson or William Taft, and I think
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I know the least about William Taft, so I'm going to say William Taft.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18It's the right answer, Judith! You are through to the final round.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I don't get to put another question to Brian.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23He got that second one wrong about the Prime Minister of Australia.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Improving all the time on Politics.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28That means no place for Brian in the final round,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35That means one member at least of the Brian's Trust
0:05:35 > 0:05:38will be missing from the final round. All the Eggheads are still there.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Let's play another head to head, and this is Arts and Books.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Who wants to play Arts and Books?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48THEY MUTTER
0:05:52 > 0:05:53- OK. It'll be Jim.- All right, Jim.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? It can't be Judith.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- I'll have CJ.- I'm not surprised!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05OK. Could I ask you both, please, to go to the question room?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Well, Jim, Brian went second. What's it going to be for you, first or second?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Well, I think I'll go first and get it over with.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Best of luck, Jim. Here's your question.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23"Et tu, Brute" is a line from which Shakespeare play?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29"And you, you brute," as it's usually translated.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33I think he killed off Julius Caesar,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35not the other two certainly.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Julius Caesar. That's the right answer.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Solid start.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45CJ, what is the name of the druid in the English versions
0:06:45 > 0:06:49of the Goscinny and Uderzo books featuring Asterix the Gaul?
0:06:54 > 0:07:00I think they all are characters, but the druid is Getafix.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It is Getafix. That's the right answer.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Asterix the Gaul. Jim, White Fang, featuring the adventures
0:07:07 > 0:07:13of a wolf/dog hybrid born in the wilds of Canada is a book by which author?
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Well, John Steinbeck is sort of not into
0:07:21 > 0:07:24that kind of adventure quite so much, Ernest Hemingway is a bit,
0:07:24 > 0:07:30but I know the real solid stuff is Jack London for that kind of book.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35OK. Jack London. Yes, that's the right answer.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Second one for you. CJ,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Mr And Mrs Robert Andrews is considered to be
0:07:40 > 0:07:44one of the first masterpieces of which 18th century artist?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I think it was painted was just after their wedding,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52which shows them on a huge estate, standing next to a tree
0:07:52 > 0:07:55and I think there was a green bench in the picture.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Not that I've ever seen it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I think it might be by Gainsborough.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Mr and Mrs Robert Andrews is by...
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Gainsborough. Yes, that's right, so it's two-all.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Jim.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Morning Becomes Electra is a trilogy of plays by which writer?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm sure it's not Williams or Miller.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- I'm pretty positive that's Eugene O'Neill.- It is.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26That's the right answer. Yes. Three to you.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Could win the round for you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29It depends how CJ does with this.
0:08:29 > 0:08:37CJ, the 2006 book, The Innocent Man, was the first non-fiction novel by which author?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Not at all sure here, but...
0:08:46 > 0:08:49one name is leaping out at me.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- I am going to go for John Grisham. - John Grisham is the right answer.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Yes, The Innocent Man.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00We go to sudden death. We remove those multiple choices.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04You've both got three correct each, and this is your next question.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Which series of books is set in a world that is balanced on the backs
0:09:08 > 0:09:13of four elephants which in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Which in turn is travelling though the universe, I think,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20so that's going to be the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Yes, it is. Very good, Jim.
0:09:24 > 0:09:32CJ, From which country was the satirical author Tom Sharpe deported in 1961?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34No. I'm not going to know this.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37This is going to have to be a blind guess.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Well, profuse apologies.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45This is just a blind, absolute,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48pick a country out of anywhere.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Let's go for the big one. Let's try USA.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54United States. OK, Tom Sharpe...
0:09:54 > 0:09:56It's incorrect, CJ.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Other Eggheads? - South Africa.- It's South Africa.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02So, great news for the Brian's Trust.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Jim, you're through to the final round. No place for CJ.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11OK. As it stands now, it's all square.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15One brain missing from the Brian's Trust, one from the Eggheads.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Our next head to head is Sport.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Who'd like to play Sport?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I'll draw the short straw.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Chris is the best bet.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Ian, who would you like to play?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- It can't be CJ or Judith, so it's Chris, Daphne or Kevin?- Chris.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36OK.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Right. Take Chris on at Sport.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Could you make your way to the question room, please?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46A rather reluctant volunteer, Ian. Do you want to go first or second?
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I'll go first, please.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Not at all.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Best of luck, Ian. Here's your question.
0:10:54 > 0:11:00Which football club did Dennis Wise manage before moving to Newcastle in January 2008?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Well, as a Chelsea fan - I thought I'd get that one in -
0:11:06 > 0:11:08he played at Chelsea.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12He also actually played and managed at Millwall,
0:11:12 > 0:11:17but he was at Leeds before moving to Newcastle, so I'll go for Leeds.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Leeds? OK. You seem to know your football.- I hope.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23That's the right answer, yes.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Chris. Britain's Lewis Hamilton drove for which team
0:11:27 > 0:11:29during his debut Formula One season?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Interesting.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I seem to see a rampant black horse,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41which is the trademark of Ferrari, so I'll say Ferrari.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44He saw it in his mirrors quite a bit,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- while he was driving a McLaren!- Oh!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Yes. Lewis Hamilton...
0:11:49 > 0:11:53McLaren. OK. Well, a real chance for you then, Ian, to forge further
0:11:53 > 0:11:55into the lead with this one.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Which sprinter won the 100 metres at the Athletics World Championships
0:11:59 > 0:12:04in 1997, 1999 and 2001?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10My colleagues would be very confident in the knowledge
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I don't know the answer to that one.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Ato Boldon doesn't ring a bell.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Donovan Bailey, I think, is in the athletics sprint.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm going to go for Maurice Greene.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26OK.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Yes. Maurice Greene is the right answer.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Yes, well done. Two to you, then. Chris, you've got to get this.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Wales' 26/19 victory over the England Rugby Union team
0:12:36 > 0:12:41in 2008 was their first win at Twickenham for how many years?
0:12:43 > 0:12:48If you go back 20 years, we're in the golden age of Welsh rugby, aren't we?
0:12:48 > 0:12:53And six years back, well, they were rather in the doldrums, so...
0:12:53 > 0:12:55down the middle. 10.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Ten years since...
0:12:57 > 0:13:00between 2008 and Wales' previous victory
0:13:00 > 0:13:03at Twickenham over in England. No. It's 20.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It was a long time waiting. Ian, you're in the final round.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08No place for you, Chris.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Well, the balance is now swinging the Brian's Trust way.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Two Eggheads missing from the final round.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21One Brian's Trust member missing.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Our last head to head before that final round is Entertainment.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27And it's Brian or Bob.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Between he and me and I think that one is mine, Dermot.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- It's Kevin or Daphne?- I always said if I was ever in this scenario
0:13:37 > 0:13:40and I got a chance to play Kevin, I would go for it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Changing your mind. Playing the three times World Quiz champion.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Could I have Brian and Kevin into the Question Room, then?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Well, Brian, it will be quite a scalp if you can claim it.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Kevin's won the last 34 Entertainment rounds he has played on the trot!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Try not to make it 35. Do you want to go first or second?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I will stick with going first, please, Dermot.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Here you go, then. Good luck.
0:14:05 > 0:14:11Who had a posthumous UK Christmas number one hit single in 1986 with Reet Petite?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17OK. Let's see.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21So, 1986. I don't think...
0:14:21 > 0:14:26No. I don't think it's Bobby Vinton, I don't think that one is right.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Nina Simone, not sure,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32but I seem to recall there was a very big surge
0:14:32 > 0:14:38in Jackie Wilson's work after he died,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40so my instinct would be to go for Jackie Wilson.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Jackie Wilson is correct, yes. Well done.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Kevin. Gina G, the United Kingdom's representative
0:14:52 > 0:14:56at the 1996 Eurovision Song Contest was born in which country?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I don't know whether she qualified through her grandmother,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04but she was from Australia... An Aussie.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yes, she was. Australia is correct.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Back to you, Brian. The second question.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Jennifer Rumson and Jacob Woodling are characters from which musical?
0:15:19 > 0:15:24Jennifer Rumson and Jacob Woodling are characters from which musical?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- So, Jennifer RAMSON? - Jennifer RUMSON.- Rumson, sorry.
0:15:28 > 0:15:34R-U-M-S-O-N and Jacob Woodling are characters from which musical?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Yeah, a bit more tricky this one.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I'm not really getting an instinct
0:15:43 > 0:15:46from any of them, really, so I'm afraid it is coming down
0:15:46 > 0:15:48to guess time, unfortunately,
0:15:48 > 0:15:54and something is drawing me to Calamity Jane.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I don't really know.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59OK. Guess at Calamity Jane.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Jennifer Rumson and Jacob Woodling are in...Paint Your Wagon.- Aah!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Not Calamity Jane.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Kevin, how will you do with your second question?
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Which actor played the US President in the 1993 film Dave?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Which actor played the US President in the 1993 film Dave?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23About a man who becomes president
0:16:23 > 0:16:26more or less by accident. It's Kevin Kline.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29It is Kevin Kline, yes.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32You've got to get this then, Brian.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36In which group of islands is the TV series Lost filmed?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Lost. Watched it occasionally, not that often.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Working on what I think it might be,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I think it might be Tahiti.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57That was my instinct, so I'll stick with that.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58OK. Lost is filmed in...
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Hawaii.- Hawaii. Aah!
0:17:01 > 0:17:07Hawaii, which means we bid you aloha or whatever farewell is in Hawaii.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Never mind.- It's over for you, I'm sorry to say, Brian.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13You will be playing in the final round, Kevin.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Would you come back and join your teams?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17This is what we've been playing towards.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23but those of you who lost your head to heads
0:17:23 > 0:17:25won't take part in this round,
0:17:25 > 0:17:30so Brian K and Brian W from the Brian's Trust, and CJ and Chris
0:17:30 > 0:17:33from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio now, please?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37So we've lost both the Brians, so we'll just
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- have to call you "The Trust." - Yeah, and we're hoping that
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- the Brian's Trust is not misplaced! - Oh!
0:17:43 > 0:17:47So Jim, Ian and Bob, you're playing to win the Brian's Trust £4,000.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Judith, Kevin and Daphne, you're playing for something
0:17:50 > 0:17:53which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00The questions are all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Brian's Trust, the question is,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05are your three brains better than the Eggheads three?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Jim, Ian and Bob, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:09 > 0:18:10We'll stick with first.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Yeah. We're more likely to get the questions by going first than second!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Off we go. Good luck.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Which national newspaper editor was arrested in 2005
0:18:24 > 0:18:28after allegedly assaulting her EastEnders actor husband, Ross Kemp?
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- It was definitely Rebekah.- Have you ever heard of Wendy Henry?- No.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39OK. Shall we say Rebekah Wade?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42We're hoping it's Rebekah Wade.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Rebekah Wade...is the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49So, Eggheads, first question to you.
0:18:49 > 0:18:55In the periodic table, what is the chemical symbol for mercury?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01That would be Hg.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Yes, it is. It's the right answer, symbol for mercury.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11OK. Second question, Brian's Trust.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Semper Fidelis is the motto of which military organisation?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21The SAS is Who Dares Wins.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27The US Marine Corps or Delta Force doesn't ring a bell.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I think I've seen a film where that occurs, so try for the Marine.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Was it a film about the US Marine Corps?- Yes.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37That's all right, then. We're going for the US Marine Corps.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It's the right answer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Semper Fidelis.- Well done.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Eggheads, second question to you.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Which tennis player made a brief appearance in the 2003 film Anger Management?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- It must be John, I think.- Logical.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I think the choice is between McEnroe and Connors.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- And Connors didn't lose his temper much.- Well...
0:20:03 > 0:20:07He was fairly volatile but even logically, if you don't know it...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09But John McEnroe started going...
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I've seen him in a CSI film.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14There's also a Tatum O'Neal connection.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17We're going to make an uneducated guess.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Uneducated guess?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21John McEnroe.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- So it's a bit of stab? - It's the most obvious!
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Yes, but obvious doesn't count in this.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Obvious doesn't always get you the right answer. but it has this time.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30John McEnroe.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Brief appearance in Anger Management. Well, it's two-all.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Getting very interesting.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Brian's Trust, in which African country
0:20:38 > 0:20:42does the six-day Marathon Des Sables take place?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Well, it sounds French speaking.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Morocco?- Pretty sandy places.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Yeah, but Namibia's not a French-speaking place.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- It used to be a German colony, didn't it?- That's right.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Ethiopia likewise. Now, Morocco...
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- It's Morocco.- Morocco was French-speaking.- French connection.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07So a French connection. By process of elimination,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11we're going to go for Morocco as a formerly French-speaking nation.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16I see. So a bit like the last one, going for the obvious link.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18It is the right answer, yes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Morocco. The gruelling Marathon Des Sables. OK.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Eggheads, with which American writer did Germaine Greer
0:21:26 > 0:21:31have a well-publicised debate on feminism in 1971 in New York Town Hall?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I have no idea.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I thought Norman Mailer before the choices came up, but...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42But Gore Vidal's gay, so...
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Maybe Philip Roth, because Portnoy's Complaint,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50which obviously was controversial...
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- When was it published? - That was only two years before.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I don't think it will be Gore Vidal. It could be Philip Roth,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59because of Portnoy's Complaint and all that,
0:21:59 > 0:22:04but I think Norman Mailer is the most likely again.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05We're not doing very well!
0:22:05 > 0:22:11Once again, we're not sure, but knowing the character
0:22:11 > 0:22:14of Norman Mailer, that is who we'll go for.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19Cigar-smoking...
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Anti-feminist.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Norman Mailer. It's correct. Saved yourselves.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Bit worried there in the last two.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27The same discussion as you!
0:22:27 > 0:22:31That has put us through into Sudden Death now.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33You know what this means, Brian's Trust.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35No more choices for either team.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Here's your question, Brian's Trust.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Other than Geoff Hurst, which footballer scored a goal
0:22:41 > 0:22:44against West Germany at the 1966 World Cup Final?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Martin Peters scored the other goal.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Of course, the hat-trick for Geoff Hurst.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Martin Peters is the right answer. Well done.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54You've got to get this, Eggheads.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Which TV presenter, writer and actress born in Delhi
0:22:58 > 0:23:02wrote her first book, Invitation To Indian Cookery,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04in the early 1970s?
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Which TV present, writer and actress born in Delhi wrote her first book,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Invitation To Indian Cookery in the early 1970s?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16She's got American citizenship now. She's Indian born.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18That would be Madhur Jaffrey.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Madhur Jaffrey is the correct answer, Eggheads.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26She acted in EastEnders, Holby City, just to name a few there. OK.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Madhur Jaffrey is the right answer.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Brian's Trust, another question for you.
0:23:30 > 0:23:36The former SAS soldier Simon Mann was arrested in 2004
0:23:36 > 0:23:40for allegedly attempting to overthrow the president of which African country?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- It was to do with the Mark Thatcher business.- It was.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Was it Sierra Leone?- No.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47- Was it Namibia?- Not Namibia.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51It was up somewhere in the West.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- South Africa?- No, no. I think it was in the central...
0:23:55 > 0:23:58but near the angle of Africa, you know...
0:23:58 > 0:24:02or a little bit north of there. How about Equatorial Guinea?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It sounds pretty likely.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- I don't know. - It just kind of rings a bell.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Well, sorry if it's wrong, but... - Go for it!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12You've got a better guess than me, so...
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Out of nowhere came Equatorial Guinea, and no guarantee it's right.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Equatorial Guinea is correct. - Oh, well done, Jim!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Unbelievable!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Got that for the Brian's Trust there.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Well, Eggheads, you've got to get this.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33Which American retail giant bought the UK supermarket chain Asda in 1999?
0:24:33 > 0:24:38Which American retail giant bought the UK supermarket chain Asda in 1999?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I've got a son who works for Asda.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- It's Wal-Mart.- It is Wal-Mart.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46No point beating around the bush there.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Family connection there for Daphne. OK. Back to you, Brian's Trust.
0:24:50 > 0:24:56By what name is the Marvel comic book character Tony Stark better known?
0:24:56 > 0:25:01By what name is the Marvel comic book character Tony Stark better known?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03It's not the Green Lantern, is it?
0:25:03 > 0:25:07I was just thinking of him because I've heard of a lot of these.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09None of them I know is called Tony Stark.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12It's going to be one of the lesser-known ones.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Who isn't it? It's not Spiderman. - It's not Spiderman.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I don't think it's... It's certainly not Batman.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20And it's not Superman.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I've no idea...
0:25:22 > 0:25:25We're having an uneducated guess, are we?
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Uneducated guess!
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- I'll let them show their age. - Yeah, all right, then.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32We've got to say something, so we'll say Green Lantern.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Oh, Green Lantern?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Tony Stark was not the Green Lantern.- Oh!
0:25:38 > 0:25:40It's Iron Man.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Iron Man. Tony Stark.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Eggheads, you need to get this question right.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Which 20th century black civil rights activist
0:25:47 > 0:25:50was previously known by the nickname "Detroit Red"
0:25:50 > 0:25:53for the reddish tinge in his hair?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Which 20th century black civil rights activist
0:25:56 > 0:25:59was previously known by the nickname "Detroit Red"
0:25:59 > 0:26:01for the reddish tinge in his hair?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Let me just...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24I think it's going to be... My best guess here,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28if I can't come up with something definite, is going to be Malcolm X.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33I can't think of...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Malcolm X...
0:26:35 > 0:26:39But something else. They changed the name, didn't they?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41What was the founder of that?
0:26:41 > 0:26:45I don't think it was one of them.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48And it wasn't Stokely Carmichael.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53No, no.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57I'm wondering if it might be somebody perhaps involved in the Nation of Islam,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00like Louis Farrakhan... I don't think so.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I think it's going to be Malcolm X.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- I can't honestly swear to this, but...- It's not Stokely Carmichael?
0:27:06 > 0:27:11I don't associate that thing at all.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18So you think Malcolm X must have been Red Detroit? No.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- But...- So...
0:27:20 > 0:27:25- It's definitely not Louis Farrakhan? - I don't think so. I don't think so.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27What have you got, Eggheads?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- I think we'll go for Malcolm X. - A blank wall!
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Gosh, you're coming up with some crackers!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I write them all myself, of course!
0:27:34 > 0:27:39Oh, it's your fault! Well, we're just going to have a guess. Malcolm X.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Guess...
0:27:41 > 0:27:45It is the correct answer, Eggheads. You've won!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- You would have got that one?- Yeah.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55I was thinking of the film.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57You've got the Spike Lee film with Denzel Washington.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02It comes into that as well, so we couldn't be absolutely sure, so...
0:28:02 > 0:28:04High-octane quizzing there!
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Well played, Brian's Trust. You really are a brains trust.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Great quizzers. Thanks for playing today.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Thank you.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:16 > 0:28:19and they reign supreme over quizland once again.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21You won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24which means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Who will beat you? Join us next time
0:28:28 > 0:28:31to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Until then, goodbye.
