These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:09

Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable

0:00:090:00:13

quiz team in the country.

0:00:130:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:20

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit

0:00:230:00:27

their wits against, possibly, the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:30

You might recognise them, as they have won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.

0:00:300:00:34

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:340:00:37

Challenging our resident quiz champions today

0:00:370:00:40

are the Inspectors. The team are great friends

0:00:400:00:43

who all work together at RAF Henlow, in Bedfordshire.

0:00:430:00:46

They like to socialise as much as they can, but this is

0:00:460:00:49

rather limited by the amount of travelling they have to do. So, let's meet them.

0:00:490:00:52

Hello, my name's Ian.

0:00:520:00:54

I'm 37 years old, and I'm a chief technician in the Royal Air Force.

0:00:540:00:57

I'm Douglas, I'm 54 years old and I'm an army major.

0:00:570:01:00

I'm Ian. I'm 54 and I'm also a major in the army.

0:01:000:01:06

Hi, I'm Greg. I'm 28 and I'm a civil servant.

0:01:060:01:09

Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 39 years old, and I'm a sergeant in the army.

0:01:090:01:13

So, Ian, team captain, and it's military, it's weapons,

0:01:130:01:16

it's inspections... Is that right?

0:01:160:01:19

The name is the Joint Arms Control Implementation Group.

0:01:190:01:23

And at the end of the Cold War, there were several treaties signed between

0:01:230:01:27

NATO and the former Warsaw Pact.

0:01:270:01:28

We carry out snap inspections on the former Warsaw Pact,

0:01:280:01:31

to ensure treaty compliance.

0:01:310:01:33

-Steve, at the end, you speak Russian?

-Yep.

0:01:330:01:35

And you go to Russia and look at their missiles?

0:01:350:01:38

Not at the minute. Because there's a political problem with the Russians.

0:01:380:01:42

I wondered if that might be the case.

0:01:420:01:43

So we can inspect countries that let us in and we can't inspect ones that don't?

0:01:430:01:48

We inspect countries who've signed up to the treaties.

0:01:480:01:51

OK. And in the middle you've got Ian Hall,

0:01:510:01:54

and you're about to emigrate to South Africa?

0:01:540:01:56

Yes, after 30 years, 36 years service, my time is up.

0:01:560:01:59

And we've made a family decision to move, and emigrate, to South Africa in the coming months.

0:01:590:02:04

Let's see if we can win you something to send you on your way.

0:02:040:02:07

Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers.

0:02:070:02:10

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:100:02:15

So, the Inspectors, the Eggheads won just the last game,

0:02:150:02:20

which means £2,000 says you can't beat them.

0:02:200:02:25

First head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Film and Television.

0:02:250:02:28

Challengers, you can say who'd you like to play, and against whom?

0:02:280:02:32

For Film and Television, we're nominating Greg.

0:02:320:02:36

Who would you like to play?

0:02:370:02:39

Greg, you look suddenly confused.

0:02:390:02:42

I'll take Judith, I guess.

0:02:420:02:44

-He shall play Judith.

-Greg is going to play Judith.

0:02:440:02:48

So, Greg and Judith, to ensure there's no conferring,

0:02:480:02:52

would the two of you please go now to the question room?

0:02:520:02:56

Greg, your choice. Would you like the first set of questions, or the second set?

0:02:560:03:00

I'll go first, if I may, please.

0:03:000:03:02

So, here's your first question.

0:03:050:03:06

Woody Harrelson played the barman, Woody Boyd, in which long running American sitcom?

0:03:060:03:13

Well, I wasted many happy hours at university

0:03:160:03:19

watching Seinfeld and Cheers.

0:03:190:03:21

So I know the answer to that one...

0:03:210:03:23

it's Cheers.

0:03:230:03:24

Cheers is absolutely right, Greg, well done.

0:03:240:03:28

First question to you, Judith.

0:03:280:03:30

The philanderer Max Branning was buried alive by his wife in which soap, in March 2008?

0:03:300:03:37

Well, that's my soap.

0:03:420:03:45

It's EastEnders. I saw it happen, too.

0:03:450:03:47

It was the most unrealistic plot line I've ever seen, really.

0:03:470:03:51

You're right, it is EastEnders. And I happened to see it as well,

0:03:510:03:54

and they got a lot of complaints about it.

0:03:540:03:57

I should think so, yes.

0:03:570:03:58

I think they call it the moment they jumped the shark.

0:03:580:04:02

One-one. Next question to you, Greg.

0:04:020:04:04

"That plane's dusting crops where there ain't no crops"

0:04:040:04:08

is a quote from which 1959 Alfred Hitchcock movie?

0:04:080:04:12

Well, my father is an Alfred Hitchcock fan...

0:04:170:04:20

has most of the ones on DVD. So, North By Northwest, with Cary Grant.

0:04:200:04:25

Absolutely right.

0:04:250:04:28

Can you picture the scene, with the plane in the distance?

0:04:280:04:31

Sadly, yes, I've seen it once, or many times.

0:04:310:04:34

Well done, you're in the lead.

0:04:340:04:36

Let's see if the Eggheads can keep it level.

0:04:360:04:38

Judith, who starred as Gabe Cash alongside Sylvester Stallone in the 1989 film, Tango and Cash?

0:04:380:04:46

Absolutely no idea.

0:04:510:04:52

Er, Bruce Willis.

0:04:540:04:55

-I'll take that as your answer.

-Yes.

0:04:550:04:58

-And it is wrong.

-Yes.

-It was Kurt Russell.

0:04:580:05:01

Oh, dear!

0:05:010:05:03

So, here we are. Your chance, Greg, to take the round.

0:05:040:05:07

In the TV sitcom, On The Buses, what was the first name of the character played by Reg Varney,

0:05:070:05:15

the subject of the catchphrase, "I hate you, Butler"?

0:05:150:05:20

I don't actually know.

0:05:230:05:25

I've never seen this series, so it's going to be a wild guess at Arthur.

0:05:250:05:30

Arthur was wrong.

0:05:300:05:32

The guess was a bit too wild.

0:05:320:05:35

-Yes.

-It was Stan.

0:05:350:05:37

Did I get the quote right, there?

0:05:370:05:39

-"I hate you, Butler, whaa..."

-Chris, do that again for us!

0:05:390:05:43

"I hate you, Butler, whaa..."

0:05:430:05:45

I don't know if you could hear that, Greg, but it's priceless.

0:05:450:05:49

So, Judith, your question.

0:05:490:05:51

Which character is squashed by Dorothy's house in The Wizard of Oz?

0:05:510:05:56

I've never seen that, either.

0:06:030:06:05

I think it's the Wicked Witch of the West.

0:06:050:06:08

You're wrong, Judith.

0:06:090:06:10

-Not again.

-It's the Wicked Witch of the East.

0:06:100:06:13

-Oh.

-So, after that round, Judith took one point.

0:06:130:06:18

Greg for the challengers took two. Well done, Greg, you took on

0:06:180:06:22

the might of the Eggheads and you emerged triumphant.

0:06:220:06:25

Good news for our challengers, the Inspectors.

0:06:250:06:28

Greg, you'll be able to play in the final round today.

0:06:280:06:31

Let's see you both back here in the studio, please.

0:06:310:06:35

So, challengers have not lost any brains from the final round.

0:06:350:06:39

The Eggheads have lost their one brain. sorry, Judith.

0:06:390:06:42

Next subject is Arts and Books. Who from the challengers would like to play

0:06:420:06:46

at Arts and Books? And who would you like to take on?

0:06:460:06:48

For this, we shall nominate Douglas.

0:06:480:06:50

-Douglas?

-Who do you reckon?

0:06:500:06:52

-Who do you feel confident at beating?

-None of them.

-Ha, ha!

0:06:520:06:55

-Who do you fancy?

-The guy with the initials?

0:06:550:06:57

I think you should take on CJ. As team coordinator, can't call myself a captain,

0:06:570:07:02

I think you should take on CJ.

0:07:020:07:03

CJ. So, Douglas from the Inspectors versus CJ from the Eggheads.

0:07:030:07:08

Again, to ensure there's no conferring, please,

0:07:080:07:11

both of you, take your positions in the question room.

0:07:110:07:14

So, I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Arts and Books in turn.

0:07:140:07:18

Douglas, you can choose, first set of questions of second set?

0:07:180:07:22

I'll go second, please.

0:07:220:07:23

CJ, you have the first question. Who wrote the novel Martin Chuzzlewit?

0:07:270:07:31

Tried to get through it and I really couldn't! It's Charles Dickens.

0:07:340:07:38

You're right, it is Charles Dickens. First point to the Eggheads.

0:07:380:07:43

Douglas, over to you.

0:07:430:07:44

What name is given to ornamental work of fine gold or silver wire, formed into delicate shapes?

0:07:440:07:51

Well, I haven't got a clue what quilling is,

0:07:560:07:59

and verdigris is sort of a green mould.

0:07:590:08:02

So I guess it's got to be filigree.

0:08:020:08:04

You're correct, it is filigree. One each.

0:08:040:08:06

CJ, which Irish writer whose struggles with cerebral palsy were depicted in the film My Left Foot

0:08:090:08:16

wrote the poetry collection, Come Softly To My Wake and the novel Wild Grow The Lilies?

0:08:160:08:21

Yeah, the portrayal in My Left Foot won Daniel Day-Lewis

0:08:260:08:29

his first Oscar. And it was Christy Brown.

0:08:290:08:31

It was Christy Brown. Well done, CJ.

0:08:310:08:35

Douglas, here's your next question. Shakespeare's play Othello

0:08:360:08:40

is set in Venice and on which Mediterranean island?

0:08:400:08:44

Well, it's not Corsica,

0:08:480:08:49

and I believe it's going to be Cyprus or Crete.

0:08:490:08:52

Because that was when the Venetians were fighting the Turks...

0:08:520:08:55

I think it's Cyprus, I think it's Cyprus.

0:08:580:09:01

You're bang on, Douglas, well done.

0:09:010:09:05

Very impressive reasoning there.

0:09:050:09:08

OK, CJ, your third question.

0:09:080:09:11

The Cider House Rules is a 1985 novel by which American author?

0:09:110:09:15

Such a relief to have the options.

0:09:180:09:20

Because I wouldn't have remembered without it. John Irving.

0:09:200:09:23

It is John Irving, CJ, well done.

0:09:230:09:27

So if you don't get this right, Douglas,

0:09:270:09:30

you will be eliminated from the final round.

0:09:300:09:33

Your question... Elephant Song, Warlock and When The Lion Feeds, are novels by which author?

0:09:330:09:39

They all have an African theme, and Wilbur Smith wrote about Africa.

0:09:450:09:48

So I'm going for Wilbur Smith.

0:09:480:09:50

You're absolutely right to go for Wilbur Smith.

0:09:500:09:53

That is the correct answer, Douglas, well done.

0:09:530:09:56

36 years in the Army,

0:09:560:09:58

and you've obviously still had time to read a lot of books.

0:09:580:10:01

My wife reckons I read too much.

0:10:010:10:02

Don't do enough around the house.

0:10:020:10:04

It's serving you very well now.

0:10:040:10:06

So after three questions each the scores are level.

0:10:060:10:09

They're both doing brilliantly, three each. We go to Sudden Death.

0:10:090:10:12

CJ, who became the shortest male dancer ever to be admitted

0:10:120:10:17

to the Royal Ballet School when he joined in 1966?

0:10:170:10:20

I'd have to assume that's Wayne Sleep.

0:10:200:10:23

That is Wayne Sleep. You're quite right.

0:10:250:10:27

So, Douglas, you're in the Sudden Death zone here.

0:10:290:10:32

The stakes are high. Which European art gallery takes its name from the Italian for offices?

0:10:320:10:38

An escritoire, something like... something to do with a desk.

0:10:400:10:43

So I'm guessing it's the Escorial, outside Madrid.

0:10:430:10:47

That's where I'm going for.

0:10:470:10:49

It's not the Escorial, it's actually...

0:10:490:10:53

Let's just before, before I give the answer, let's see if CJ knows.

0:10:530:10:57

I'd imagine it's the Uffizi.

0:10:570:10:58

In which city?

0:10:580:11:00

Florence.

0:11:000:11:01

Florence, it is, yeah.

0:11:010:11:03

The Uffizi in Florence.

0:11:030:11:04

Italian.

0:11:040:11:06

-Yeah.

-European art gallery. Thank you, Douglas, well done...

0:11:060:11:09

but bad luck, you were beaten by our Egghead. So, as a result, Douglas,

0:11:090:11:13

you won't be able to help your team in the final round.

0:11:130:11:15

Would you both please come back, and join your team-mates?

0:11:150:11:19

I hope I don't sense a mood of doom on the Inspectors?

0:11:190:11:22

-You didn't want to lose, Douglas, did you?

-No. No, I did not.

-Ha, ha!

0:11:220:11:27

So, as it stands, the challengers have lost one brain from the final round.

0:11:270:11:32

The Eggheads have also lost one brain.

0:11:320:11:34

The next subject is Sport. Sport, challengers,

0:11:340:11:37

who wants to play this? And against whom?

0:11:370:11:40

-We don't know what's coming next.

-Are you happy with Sport?

-Yes.

0:11:400:11:43

-Go on, then. Yeah.

-I'll take that one please, Jeremy.

0:11:430:11:46

Ian, you want to take it. And who looks vulnerable?

0:11:460:11:49

Who's cracking under the pressure?

0:11:490:11:51

I'll take the lead and challenge Kevin, please.

0:11:510:11:55

Kevin, you want to do Sport?

0:11:550:11:56

Don't think I've got much choice in the matter!

0:11:560:11:58

You're right! You have no choice.

0:11:580:12:00

It's Ian from the Inspectors versus Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:12:000:12:03

Please take your positions in the question room.

0:12:030:12:06

Ian, you can choose the first or second set of questions.

0:12:060:12:10

I'll go first please, Jeremy.

0:12:100:12:12

So, here we go.

0:12:150:12:16

Which famous racehorse was buried by the winning post at Aintree, after his death in 1995?

0:12:160:12:22

I didn't think Desert Orchid was dead yet, so I'll rule him out.

0:12:260:12:29

And Aintree's most famously linked with Red Rum, for his three-time win.

0:12:290:12:33

So, I'll go for Red Rum, please.

0:12:330:12:35

You're spot on, well done.

0:12:350:12:37

Red Rum it is.

0:12:370:12:38

Kevin, in Grand Slam tennis tournaments, a men's single's match is played over how many sets?

0:12:410:12:46

Could go on a bit if it was best of nine. It's best of five.

0:12:490:12:53

Quite right, Kevin. It is best of five.

0:12:530:12:56

Back to you, Ian.

0:12:560:12:58

Which British boxer added the WBO belt

0:12:580:13:01

to the WBA and WBC cruiserweight titles he already held,

0:13:010:13:08

when he defeated Enzo Maccarinelli in March 2008?

0:13:080:13:13

Well, boxing isn't one of my strong points.

0:13:170:13:20

The only one of those three names I've heard of is David Haye,

0:13:210:13:25

known as the Hayemaker, I think. So I'm ruling out the other two.

0:13:250:13:28

I'm going to go for David Haye.

0:13:280:13:30

Brilliant guess, if it was a guess.

0:13:310:13:33

You're quite right, it is David Haye. Next question, Kevin.

0:13:330:13:38

William Fox-Pitt has represented Great Britain in which sport?

0:13:380:13:41

He's an equestrian man, Jeremy. It's three-day eventing.

0:13:440:13:47

Quite right, Kevin. So it's neck and neck still/

0:13:470:13:50

Eggheads, two. Challengers, two.

0:13:500:13:53

Third question. Here we go, Ian.

0:13:530:13:56

The athlete CJ Hunter, who was crowned shot put world champion in 1999,

0:13:560:14:01

married which sportswoman the previous year?

0:14:010:14:04

I'm ruling out Kelly Holmes, because I don't think she's married.

0:14:090:14:13

Maria Mutola, I think she's an 800 metre runner,

0:14:150:14:20

and Marion Jones, a sprinter.

0:14:200:14:21

Not because of sport, but I think because of events off the track,

0:14:210:14:26

I think I've heard his name linked with Marion Jones.

0:14:260:14:29

Well, done, Ian, you're right.

0:14:290:14:30

It was Marion Jones who was married to the athlete CJ Hunter.

0:14:300:14:34

So, Kevin, pressure on you, now.

0:14:360:14:38

Let's see if the challengers can strike a blow against the Eggheads.

0:14:380:14:42

Here's your question. Which team became the first Asian winners of the Cricket World Cup in 1983?

0:14:420:14:47

I think they were the first ones,

0:14:500:14:52

apart from Australia, to win it, as well. It's India.

0:14:520:14:55

Again, total certainty, and you're right, Kevin. Well, done. India.

0:14:550:14:58

So, Eggheads, three. Challengers, three.

0:14:580:15:01

You're level-pegging,

0:15:010:15:02

which means we now go on to Sudden Death.

0:15:020:15:05

-Are you ready, Ian?

-Yes.

0:15:050:15:06

Doing well.

0:15:060:15:08

Which British sportswoman won gold at the Cycling World Championships in March 2008,

0:15:080:15:14

four years after she won an Olympic silver medal in rowing?

0:15:140:15:19

There is one name from the Cycling World Cup that springs to mind.

0:15:190:15:24

Her surname was Pendleton, I think.

0:15:240:15:27

I'm struggling with the first name.

0:15:270:15:30

I think it was Victoria Pendleton.

0:15:300:15:33

That's wrong. It was Rebecca Romero.

0:15:330:15:38

She won gold at the 2005 Rowing Championships.

0:15:390:15:41

-Unusual to do two sports at that level.

-Apparently never liked rowing.

0:15:440:15:47

And so she switched over to cycling, for that reason.

0:15:470:15:50

Although she was good at rowing, she'd never liked it.

0:15:500:15:52

And who's Victoria Pendleton?

0:15:520:15:54

She's a gold medal cyclist.

0:15:540:15:57

-So, on the right track?

-Yes, yes.

0:15:570:15:59

-As it were.

-Absolutely, as it were.

0:15:590:16:01

-A close stab.

-A close stab, Ian. Not all lost yet,

0:16:010:16:04

remember, because Kevin still has to get this right. Let's see he does.

0:16:040:16:08

Kevin, which rugby league team, based in the French town of Perpignan,

0:16:080:16:11

took part in the Super League for the first time in 2006?

0:16:110:16:15

They're doing very well. It's the Catalans Dragons.

0:16:150:16:19

It is the Catalans Dragons.

0:16:190:16:21

Well done, Kevin.

0:16:210:16:23

Ian, you were beaten by our Egghead.

0:16:230:16:25

As a result, you can't help your team in the final round.

0:16:250:16:28

So, would you both please come back, join your team-mates.

0:16:280:16:32

So, as it stands, the Challengers have lost two brains from the final round.

0:16:320:16:36

While the Eggheads have lost one brain. The last subject is Music.

0:16:360:16:41

Who from the Challengers will play Music?

0:16:410:16:43

And who do you want to play against?

0:16:430:16:45

We shall send in the other Ian for this one.

0:16:450:16:47

If you must.

0:16:470:16:50

Who would you like to play, Chris or Daphne?

0:16:500:16:54

-Chris, please.

-OK.

-So, Ian, and you're about to emigrate to South Africa?

0:16:540:16:59

-I am indeed.

-If it all goes wrong, you can just leave the country.

0:16:590:17:02

Yes, no retributions.

0:17:020:17:04

It's Ian from the Inspectors versus Chris from the Eggheads.

0:17:040:17:07

To ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room.

0:17:070:17:13

I'll ask each of you three questions on Music in turn.

0:17:130:17:15

Ian, you have the choice. Do you want the first or second set?

0:17:150:17:18

I'd like to go second please, Jeremy.

0:17:180:17:21

So, Chris, what was the title of the1978 UK Number One hit single for The Village People?

0:17:240:17:31

Well, SOS. was by ABBA. DISCO was Mattawan,

0:17:360:17:40

so it's YMCA.

0:17:400:17:42

It's fun to stay at the YMCA.

0:17:420:17:43

You're right.

0:17:430:17:45

-Was it Ottawan?

-Ottawan, yeah.

0:17:450:17:48

-Did you say Mattawan?

-No, Ottawan. O-T-T-A-W-A-N.

0:17:480:17:53

OK, well, you're right about YMCA anyway.

0:17:530:17:56

First blood to you.

0:17:560:17:58

Ian, in which section of an orchestra would you find the flute?

0:17:590:18:03

I don't think it's percussion,

0:18:060:18:09

because I don't think you hit a flute.

0:18:090:18:11

I don't think it's brass. Therefore I will go for woodwind, please.

0:18:110:18:17

You're right, it is woodwind.

0:18:170:18:19

And you definitely don't hit a flute, if you want it to work.

0:18:190:18:23

Chris, who was presented with an Outstanding Contribution to Music Award at the 2008 Brits ceremony?

0:18:250:18:32

I don't think Paul McCartney was in very good odour at the time.

0:18:370:18:42

And I don't think Sting's been presented with anything.

0:18:420:18:45

But, sort of an elder statesman of guitar rock, I'd say it would be

0:18:450:18:49

Eric Clapton. So that would be my answer, Eric Clapton.

0:18:490:18:53

You're wrong. It wasn't Eric Clapton, Chris.

0:18:530:18:55

-It was Paul McCartney.

-Was it?

-He was obviously in better odour

0:18:550:18:58

than you remember. Maybe you're mixing him up with his ex-wife?

0:18:580:19:02

-Possibly, yeah.

-Not easily done.

0:19:020:19:03

-Not these days.

-So, Paul McCartney won the Outstanding Contribution to

0:19:030:19:07

Music and that means, Ian, you have a chance to pull away now.

0:19:070:19:11

Which musician won five Grammy awards in 2002, for her debut album, Songs in A Minor?

0:19:110:19:19

Was it Alicia Keys, Rihanna or Mary J Blige?

0:19:200:19:27

My daughter will be sitting at home, screaming out the answer.

0:19:270:19:32

I'm not in the least certain as to which one it is.

0:19:320:19:37

But I think it's Alicia Keys.

0:19:370:19:40

Why do you think it's Alicia Keys?

0:19:420:19:44

Because I like the sound of her name.

0:19:440:19:47

Ha, ha, ha!

0:19:470:19:49

You're right, it was Alicia Keys.

0:19:490:19:54

So, two to the challengers.

0:19:550:19:57

Chris, what name is given to the style of jazz

0:19:580:20:02

that was pioneered by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, in the 1940s?

0:20:020:20:07

Scat, bebop or Dixieland?

0:20:070:20:10

Well, Dixieland is the original New Orleans jazz.

0:20:100:20:13

And Scat is a vocal style, so it's bebop.

0:20:130:20:16

It is bebop, Chris, well done.

0:20:160:20:18

Ian, win this

0:20:180:20:20

and you've got the round.

0:20:200:20:22

With whom did Prince duet on the 1980s UK hit singles,

0:20:220:20:28

The Arms of Orion, and You Got the Look?

0:20:280:20:30

I'm not completely certain,

0:20:360:20:40

but I believe Prince had some form of relationship with Sheena Easton.

0:20:400:20:45

And therefore, I'm going to plump for her.

0:20:450:20:49

You're right, it was Sheena Easton.

0:20:490:20:53

Brilliant bit of guesswork there,

0:20:530:20:55

on the Alicia Keys and the Sheena Easton. And that means, Ian,

0:20:550:21:00

that you've taken on one of the Eggheads and emerged triumphant.

0:21:000:21:03

So, very good news for our challengers, the Inspectors.

0:21:030:21:06

So, you, Ian, will be able to play in today's final round. Congratulations on that.

0:21:060:21:11

So, please both come back and rejoin your team-mates.

0:21:110:21:15

So, this is what we've been playing towards.

0:21:150:21:17

It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.

0:21:170:21:20

But I'm afraid those who lost their head-to-heads

0:21:200:21:23

can't take part in this round.

0:21:230:21:25

So, Ian and Douglas from the Inspectors,

0:21:250:21:28

and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads,

0:21:280:21:30

would you please now leave the studio?

0:21:300:21:33

Ian, Greg and Steve, you are playing to win the Inspectors £2,000.

0:21:330:21:37

Daphne, CJ and Kevin, you are playing for something which money can't buy...

0:21:370:21:41

the Eggheads' reputation.

0:21:410:21:44

As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:21:440:21:47

This time the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.

0:21:470:21:51

The Inspectors, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?

0:21:510:21:58

Ian, Greg and Steve, you can choose the first set or the second set... You say?

0:21:580:22:03

-Going to go first?

-First set, yeah.

0:22:030:22:05

-First.

-We'd like to go first please, Jeremy.

0:22:050:22:07

So, here we go.

0:22:100:22:12

The Penguin and The Joker are arch enemies of which superhero?

0:22:120:22:16

Batman.

0:22:190:22:21

-Sure?

-Yeah, I've seen the films.

0:22:210:22:23

-All agreed?

-Yeah.

-We're all agreed, it's Batman.

0:22:230:22:26

You're quite right, it is Batman.

0:22:260:22:29

-In the military, you love your superheroes?

-Absolutely.

0:22:290:22:33

First question for the Eggheads.

0:22:330:22:34

Jim Henson was the creator of which TV characters?

0:22:340:22:37

It's about your lookalike, so go on.

0:22:420:22:44

-They're the Muppets.

-You're right.

0:22:440:22:47

Is CJ being mean to you?

0:22:470:22:48

-Yes.

-Not unjustly!

0:22:480:22:51

I don't think you look like a Muppet, OK?

0:22:510:22:53

In that outfit.

0:22:530:22:55

Your second question, Inspectors.

0:22:550:22:59

The lev is the unit of currency in which country?

0:22:590:23:03

-It's definitely Bulgaria.

-You sure? Certain?

0:23:070:23:10

Yup, definitely.

0:23:100:23:12

OK. We're all agreed that it is Bulgaria.

0:23:120:23:16

It is Bulgaria. Steve, you said that with conviction, you've been there?

0:23:160:23:20

I have. It was a long time ago but I can remember.

0:23:200:23:23

How many levs to the £?

0:23:230:23:25

-It was millions.

-Was it?

-I needed the calculator.

0:23:250:23:28

You're right. The lev is the Bulgarian unit of currency.

0:23:280:23:34

Eggheads, the Roman goddess, Ceres,

0:23:340:23:37

was a deity principally associated with what?

0:23:370:23:40

The Roman goddess, Ceres,

0:23:420:23:44

was a deity principally associated with what?

0:23:440:23:47

That would be crops, agriculture.

0:23:470:23:50

It is crops and it is Ceres, and well done, you're right.

0:23:500:23:55

Neck in neck in our final round, here.

0:23:550:23:58

Inspectors, how you feeling? Is it getting to you?

0:23:580:24:01

No. Feeling fine, thank you.

0:24:010:24:03

And, by the way, if you win, we're going to pay you in levs.

0:24:030:24:06

Which unpopular politician was directly responsible

0:24:080:24:12

for the expansion of motorways in the UK,

0:24:120:24:14

the introduction of premium bonds,

0:24:140:24:17

trunk telephone calls, parking meters, traffic wardens

0:24:170:24:20

and yellow line parking restrictions?

0:24:200:24:22

Who was that person?

0:24:220:24:24

It was the 1950s, wasn't it, the motorways?

0:24:300:24:32

-He was obviously a very unpopular man.

-Yeah.

0:24:320:24:35

It's not Roy Mason,

0:24:350:24:36

because Roy Mason was the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.

0:24:360:24:41

Wilfred Paling, I've never heard of.

0:24:440:24:47

The guy I think it is, is Ernest Marples.

0:24:470:24:50

-I don't know.

-I don't know either, so go with your choice.

0:24:500:24:54

I've got a sneaking suspicion that I remember Marples

0:24:540:25:00

doing something with motorway roads, when I was, sort of, a teenager.

0:25:000:25:04

So, we're going to plump for Ernest Marples.

0:25:040:25:06

Great logic, it is Ernest Marples.

0:25:060:25:09

Well done.

0:25:090:25:11

Your team-mates are applauding behind you.

0:25:110:25:13

We call him unpopular but some of those things sounded OK...

0:25:130:25:17

-The premium bonds and all that?

-I've never won one, so...

0:25:170:25:20

Yeah, they're unpopular if you don't win.

0:25:200:25:22

Eggheads, which photographer shot a series of pictures of Marilyn Monroe

0:25:220:25:27

in 1962, six weeks before her death,

0:25:270:25:29

that have collectively come to be known as the Last Sitting?

0:25:290:25:33

-Bert Stern.

-I think I know...

0:25:360:25:38

Which photographer shot a series of pictures of Marilyn Monroe in 1962,

0:25:380:25:43

six weeks before her death, that have collectively come

0:25:430:25:46

to be known as the Last Sitting?

0:25:460:25:49

Bert Stern's the only one I know definitely photographed her.

0:25:490:25:53

Do we know the other two did, or not?

0:25:530:25:55

I don't think Helmut Newton did. He was famous for his male nudes.

0:25:550:25:59

-Stern was the one right before her death?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:25:590:26:02

-Let's go for that. We know he did her.

-Think so, yeah.

0:26:020:26:06

Bert Stern.

0:26:060:26:08

Bert Stern is the correct answer. Well done, you got it right.

0:26:080:26:12

So, Eggheads, three, challengers, three. Scores are level.

0:26:120:26:17

Doing well, challengers.

0:26:170:26:19

We go now to Sudden Death.

0:26:190:26:21

And remember, to make it that bit harder,

0:26:210:26:23

these questions are not multiple choice. Here we go, Inspectors.

0:26:230:26:27

Who played the title role in Ron Shelton's 1994 film, Cobb,

0:26:270:26:33

a biopic of the baseball player, Ty Cobb? Who played the title role

0:26:330:26:37

in Ron Shelton's 1994 film, Cobb,

0:26:370:26:40

a biopic of the baseball player, Ty Cobb?

0:26:400:26:44

-Never even seen it.

-Not a film I've seen.

-Never heard of it.

0:26:440:26:47

-Haven't seen it.

-1994, 14 years ago.

0:26:470:26:52

It's not Kevin Costner, is it?

0:26:520:26:54

No, he was in Field of Dreams.

0:26:540:26:55

I'm struggling. Who else was famous in that time?

0:26:550:26:58

-1994?

-It wouldn't have been Stallone or Schwarzenegger.

0:26:580:27:02

And it wouldn't have been Willis. Kurt Russell?

0:27:020:27:07

Harrison Ford?

0:27:070:27:09

No, I don't think Harrison Ford's a sports fan. Could be wrong, though.

0:27:090:27:13

We'll just have to guess. Say again?

0:27:130:27:17

Patrick Swayze or Kurt Russell, or something?

0:27:170:27:19

Kurt Russell?

0:27:190:27:22

-With no degree of certainty, Jeremy, we're going to say...

-Kurt Russell?

0:27:220:27:27

-Yeah, why not.

-Kurt Russell.

0:27:270:27:29

It's not Kurt Russell, it's Tommy Lee Jones.

0:27:290:27:33

To take the contest, which English county hosts the world-famous

0:27:330:27:39

Cooper's Hill cheese rolling contest, which sees participants

0:27:390:27:42

chase a large lump of cheese down a 200-yard slope each May?

0:27:420:27:46

Well, I live in the West Country, so it's always on the news.

0:27:460:27:51

And if you see them rolling down...

0:27:510:27:53

Oh, sorry, it's Gloucestershire.

0:27:530:27:55

But, I mean, they ought to hurt themselves more badly than they do.

0:27:550:28:00

-Is your answer Gloucestershire?

-Yes.

-Our answer is Gloucestershire.

0:28:000:28:04

Eggheads, well done, you've won.

0:28:040:28:06

Great quizzing, Inspectors. Brilliant logic and guesswork,

0:28:130:28:16

all combined, and knowledge, too. Commiserations to you,

0:28:160:28:19

the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,

0:28:200:28:23

and they still reign supreme over quizland.

0:28:230:28:25

I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £2,000.

0:28:250:28:28

Which means that the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:280:28:31

Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:310:28:33

Who on earth will beat you?

0:28:330:28:35

Join us next time to see if the new challengers

0:28:350:28:38

have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:380:28:40

£3,000 says they don't.

0:28:400:28:43

Till then, goodbye.
