0:00:04 > 0:00:09These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:29Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:29 > 0:00:34pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39They are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Taking on our quiz Goliaths are the Suedeheads.
0:00:43 > 0:00:50The team are fans of the ex-Smiths frontman Morrissey and know each other through an on-line fan forum.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54I'm Peter, 40, and I'm a development manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59I'm Tess, I'm 40, and I'm a part-time primary school assistant and a mum.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03I'm Kraig, 24, and I'm an administrator.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I'm Hayley, I'm 27. I'm a special constable and a PA.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11I'm Phill, I'm 45. I'm a writer and a youth worker.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17So, Peter, Morrissey and The Smiths, two of you are 40, Phill on the end, you're 45.
0:01:17 > 0:01:24But you two are in your 20s. The Smiths had been and gone by the time you were born. It's not your era.
0:01:24 > 0:01:31I have to say that I have always been slightly bizarre in my music tastes. I'm very eclectic.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35And when my friends were into Kylie and Jason,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I was already into things like Kate Bush and The Smiths.
0:01:39 > 0:01:47- Do you want to pick the defining Smiths track that you'll sing if you beat this lot?- It must be Suedehead.
0:01:47 > 0:01:54- We can't go for a Smiths track. - Hang The CJ!- Hang The CJ! - Our personal favourite.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- Sorry, CJ.- I'm used to it by now. - You've taken an early hit.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Every day there's £1,000 up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09If they can't beat the Eggheads, the money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Suedeheads, the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17so £3,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21The first head-to-head battle will be on Music.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Who wants to play this category?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27A tough choice. Which Egghead do you want to take on?
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- I'm prepared to...- Give it a go. - ..stake my reputation on the line.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Hayley?- Yeah. - Who do you want to take on?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Um...- Daphne, I think.
0:02:39 > 0:02:47Yeah, I think I'm gonna go for Daphne. Cos she's nice and I won't feel so bad when she beats me.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Hayley from the Suedeheads against Daphne from the Eggheads,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:02:56 > 0:03:02- Hayley, the first or second set of questions?- I'd like to go first.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11For which part of the music industry are the Ivor Novello Awards given?
0:03:17 > 0:03:22For which part of the music industry are the Ivor Novello Awards given?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29OK, well, I have heard of them which is a positive start.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33However, what are they for?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Um...
0:03:36 > 0:03:40It seems like it should be Composing and Songwriting,
0:03:40 > 0:03:44but I'm feeling Marketing and Promotion. I'm not convinced.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- I'm gonna go for Composing and Songwriting.- Bang on. Well done.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Daphne, your first question.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Which member of a pop group would play the floor tom?
0:04:02 > 0:04:08I don't know. It sounds like a drum to me. So, drummer?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Tom-toms? Probably wrong. Don't know.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Drummer's your answer?- Yes. - Drummer's right.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Hayley, your second question.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Invisible Touch, Turn It On Again and I Can't Dance
0:04:24 > 0:04:26were hit singles for which group?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Well, I do like all of those bands.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38I have quite a lot of this band's albums. The answer is Genesis.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Genesis is right. Well done.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Not Morrissey, not The Smiths. We're still waiting for that question.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Don't give it to me. - You'll probably get it, Daphne.
0:04:49 > 0:04:55Ronnie Hazlehurst, who died in 2007, was best known for writing what pieces of music?
0:05:00 > 0:05:05I have heard of him and I'm sure it wasn't in connection with hymns.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Certainly not national anthems, so TV theme tunes.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14TV theme tunes is right, Daphne. Well done again.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19So, two points apiece. Hayley, your third question.
0:05:19 > 0:05:26Consisting mostly of gongs and other metal instruments, gamelan is a type of orchestra
0:05:26 > 0:05:29indigenous to which part of the world?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- That's a very good question. - Thank you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I'm going to have to take a guess at this.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'm going to go for Mali.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- Just as a wild guess. - You're going for Mali?- Yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54It was a bit too wild. It was Indonesia.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57It's not over yet. Daphne, your third question.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03Which Oscar-winning composer provided the scores for numerous films,
0:06:03 > 0:06:08including Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I don't know.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I do remember
0:06:18 > 0:06:23Bernard Herrmann wrote a lot of scores for Alfred Hitchcock,
0:06:23 > 0:06:28so I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope it's Bernard Herrmann.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33That is a very useful fact because it was Bernard Herrmann
0:06:33 > 0:06:38who wrote the scores for those two films. Well done, Daphne.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Hayley, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:06:41 > 0:06:48You will not be able to help your team in the final round. Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:48 > 0:06:55The Challengers have lost one brain from the final round while the Eggheads have lost none.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Next subject is Science. Who wants to play Science?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02And tell us who against.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- You said Science.- Yeah.- Gonna give it a go?- Yeah. Who shall I take on?
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- They're all very good. I'll go for Chris.- You can't take Daphne.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Who is it? - I'm going to take Chris, please.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Tess versus Chris on Science. OK, please go to our question room now.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Quite brave, Tess, cos this is one of Chris's favourite subjects.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Did you know that? - No, but I do now.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34He's played it 14 times and he's only lost it once.
0:07:34 > 0:07:41- OK.- Don't worry. Your team have got their heads in their hands, but it's too early for that.
0:07:41 > 0:07:48- You each get three questions. You choose whether you have the first or second set.- I'll take the first set.
0:07:51 > 0:07:58Which word taken from the Greek for "living together" describes the co-existence and interaction
0:07:58 > 0:08:02of two separate species who live in close proximity?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09OK, um...
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Prepare yourself for a masterclass in educated guesswork here.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I don't think...
0:08:17 > 0:08:20When you think of "parasite",
0:08:20 > 0:08:25you think of something that lives on something, but not in harmony,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28so I'm going to go for symbiosis.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Symbiosis is right, Tess. Well done.
0:08:33 > 0:08:40Chris, how is the collection of genetic information of an interbreeding population known?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47That's known as the gene pool.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51If it gets too small, you get genetic problems.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- Then it becomes the gene sink.- Yeah. - Chris, well done, you're right.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02Which subatomic particle derives its name from the Greek for "first"?
0:09:06 > 0:09:12Which subatomic particle derives its name from the Greek for "first"?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15OK, I don't know the answer to this.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21I'm trying to apply some logic and that's not proving very easy.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27OK, I don't think it's electron.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30So I'll rule that one out.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35And of the other two, I'm being drawn towards neutron.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41- That's my answer. - Neutron is your answer?- It is.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46It's wrong. The answer was proton. I guess from prototype and all that?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51That's the word root, yes. "Proto" means "first".
0:09:51 > 0:09:53There we are.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Chris, invented in 1884 by the German engineeer Paul Nipkow,
0:09:58 > 0:10:04the Nipkow disc, a rotating disc with one or more series of spiral apertures,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08was central to the development of which system?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Nuclear fission was much later.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18That was Rutherford, early years of the 20th century.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Genetic fingerprinting wasn't around at that time,
0:10:22 > 0:10:27but if I remember right, the first televisions in '26
0:10:27 > 0:10:31by John Logie Baird did have a rotating disc on it,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35so I'll say it was the genesis of television.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Chris, you're right. It was television.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41So, Eggheads have two,
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Challengers have one. Tess, you need this, it's your third question.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Copper, iron and cobalt all belong
0:10:49 > 0:10:53to which series of elements in the Periodic Table?
0:10:56 > 0:11:01OK, I'll have to guess again and I'll say Alkaline Earth Metals.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07Wrong answer, Tess. It is Transition Metals. Tough question though.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Chris, well done. You won't need your third question.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Tess, you will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20So will you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:20 > 0:11:26So the Challengers have lost two brains from the final round whilst the Eggheads have lost none.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32The next subject is Geography. Who is it gonna be and who against?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- OK. Against? Take your pick. - Definitely not Kevin.
0:11:36 > 0:11:44- I hear a loud sigh and the words "definitely not Kevin".- I thought you should go for Judith.- Judith.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Go on then.- Why me?- Why not?
0:11:47 > 0:11:53Phill Gatenby against Judith from the Eggheads... Let's ensure there's no conferring.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:11:58 > 0:12:03- Phill, you've written books on Morrissey?- Yes, they're both guides.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09Morrissey referenced lots of places and other areas of his life and fans like to visit them,
0:12:09 > 0:12:15like the Salford Lads Club, the Holy Name Church and the Iron Bridge in Stretford.
0:12:15 > 0:12:23- I wrote books guiding people to each place.- The Iron Bridge is in a song, "Under the Iron Bridge we kissed"?
0:12:23 > 0:12:30- Yeah.- Very good.- I'm a fan too. "Under the Iron Bridge we kissed and I ended up with sore lips"?- Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:36Sadly, I can't score any points. Phill, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41We've gone first both times so far, so I think I'll go second.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Judith, I turn to you. What's the capital of Nicaragua?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56What is the capital of Nicaragua, Judith?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Well, Buenos Aires is Argentina.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02And Lima is Peru, so it's Managua.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Yes, it is Managua. Well done.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07So to you, Phill.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11First question - by what name is the region of Anatolia
0:13:11 > 0:13:17between Turkey's Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea coasts more commonly known?
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Well, Siberia's way up in Russia. Mongolia's a lot further south.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33In Biblical times, Asia Minor was always referred to
0:13:33 > 0:13:37as the Turkish-Greek area, so I'll go for Asia Minor.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40You're right, Phill. It was Asia Minor.
0:13:40 > 0:13:46- Not one of the places Morrissey's visited?- He's played Turkey twice.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50I stand corrected. You've tracked his movements since he was five?
0:13:50 > 0:13:55- You're making me look sad now. - We're probably all sad!
0:13:55 > 0:14:03Judith, if you want to out yourself as a Smiths fan, just go ahead. Time's running out on that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06What is the second longest river in France?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Oh, Lord! I live in France too.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And I'm so bad at French geography!
0:14:19 > 0:14:24I think the Loire is the longest river. I think it might be the Seine.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- You're right. It is the Seine. - Good. Thank goodness for that!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Your second question, Phill.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Which Persian Gulf state has land borders with Saudi Arabia and Iraq?
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Now, if my brother was here, cos he lives in Dubai...
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Definitely not Qatar. I think that's a bit further down.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Certainly Iran borders Iraq.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03But maybe not Saudi Arabia. I think I'll go for Kuwait.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08That's the correct answer. Well done.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Two points apiece.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Third question now for you, Judith.
0:15:14 > 0:15:22Ceuta is a Spanish enclave, free port and military post on the coast of which North African country?
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- Is it C-E-U-T-O?- C-E-U-T-A.- ..T-A.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Ceuta is a Spanish enclave and military post on the coast
0:15:34 > 0:15:37of which North African country?
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- I think that's Morocco.- You're quite right. It is Morocco. Well done.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47So, Phill, you need this to go to Sudden Death with Judith,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50otherwise you won't be in the final.
0:15:50 > 0:15:57Which Greek island, the most easterly in the Aegean Sea, lies ten miles off the Turkish coast?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I've been to all three and...
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Rhodes is where I was last summer
0:16:09 > 0:16:14and that's definitely ten miles off the coast.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19But I'm thinking I'm going for Crete cos it's a bit further over.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21It's Crete or Rhodes.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Flip! Yeah, I'm gonna go for...Crete.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- You're going for Crete? - Yeah, 60% Crete.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40I've got to take 100% Crete if that's your answer and it's Rhodes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Never mind, Phill. Well done, Judith.
0:16:44 > 0:16:51Phill, you were beaten by our Egghead, so you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Both of you please come back and join your team-mates.
0:16:55 > 0:17:02So the Challengers have lost three brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost none.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06The last subject is Food And Drink.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10We haven't even had a question and you're looking disappointed.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Who from the Challengers wants to take on which Egghead?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- It's gonna be Kraig. - Yeah, I'll bite the bullet.
0:17:19 > 0:17:26Kraig, OK. And you've got CJ and Kevin to choose from here. CJ and Kevin.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32- Really?- Yeah. Be brave.- Nice, easy one. I'll pick Kevin, please.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37A nice, easy one. Kevin, Food And Drink, where are we on that today?
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- Not my favourite.- You won your last two, so don't be too modest.
0:17:42 > 0:17:49It's Kraig from the Suedeheads against Kevin from the Eggheads on Food And Drink.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53No conferring, so please do go to the question room.
0:17:53 > 0:18:00Kevin, you may not be very good on Food And Drink, but your "not very good" is other people's "brilliant"?
0:18:00 > 0:18:06No, it's by no means a strong subject for me. It is quite a weak subject really.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I've not any great interest in it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Let's see, Kraig, if you can force the advantage here.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18- You can take the first or second set of questions.- I'll go first.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26Kraig, Cajun cuisine originated in the south-east of which country?
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Cajun cuisine originated in the south-east of which country?
0:18:34 > 0:18:40I'm quite partial to an Indian or two and I'm pretty sure it's India.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46It's not India. It's the United States.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Kevin, your first question.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Frizzante is a term normally relating to what kind of beverage?
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Frizzante is a term normally related to what kind of beverage?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05It refers to "sparkling" and it's wine.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08It is wine. Well done.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Kraig, what is the main ingredient in the Indian dish chana dal?
0:19:17 > 0:19:22What is the main ingredient in the Indian dish chana dal?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Having said I like Indian, I've got no idea,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30so it's gonna be a complete guess.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I'm gonna guess courgette.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Your answer is courgette...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I'm sorry. It's chick peas.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44We've got to get on to that side of the menu next time we eat Indian.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Kevin, what type of food is the German Kuchen?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55What type of food is the German Kuchen?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- K-U-C-H-E-N?- K-U-C-H-E-N, exactly.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It's just a generic term for cake.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05It is. Well done. You have two points.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09That means, Kevin, you've beaten Kraig.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15The Egghead has beaten the Suedehead, so, Kraig, you won't be in the final round.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Both of you please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24So, poor old Suedeheads, heaven knows they're miserable now!
0:20:24 > 0:20:30This is what we've been playing towards - the final round which is General Knowledge.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35But those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part.
0:20:35 > 0:20:42So, Tess, Kraig, Hayley and Phill from the Suedeheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Peter, you are playing to win the Suedeheads £3,000.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52Judith, Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris, you are playing for something money can't buy - your reputation.
0:20:52 > 0:20:59I will ask each team three questions in turn, all general knowledge, and you are allowed to confer,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02which doesn't help you much.
0:21:02 > 0:21:09So, Peter, the question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:21:09 > 0:21:14- Peter, would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Your team-mates are watching nervously behind. Good luck.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24What is an establishment that employs only union members?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31It's certainly not work to rule.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Work to rule is exactly what it says
0:21:35 > 0:21:38where you play by the rules
0:21:38 > 0:21:40with no, um...
0:21:41 > 0:21:44..flexibility.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Closed shop is the answer. - Closed shop is right, well done.
0:21:48 > 0:21:54What is the Cockney spiv character in the St Trinian's books and films?
0:21:59 > 0:22:04What is the Cockney spiv character in the St Trinian's books and films?
0:22:04 > 0:22:09- As played in the original films by George Cole, Flash Harry.- Yes.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Well done, CJ. Your question...
0:22:13 > 0:22:19Peter, what is Helvetica, designed in 1957 by Max Miedinger?
0:22:24 > 0:22:29What is Helvetica, designed in 1957 by Max Miedinger?
0:22:29 > 0:22:34OK, well, anybody who's ever used any word processing program at all
0:22:34 > 0:22:37will pick from the drop-down menu
0:22:37 > 0:22:41and Helvetica is a font or a typeface.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44It's definitely a typeface.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47It definitely is. Point to you.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50You're in the lead.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53"We're caught in a trap" is the first line
0:22:53 > 0:22:56of which Elvis Presley hit?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Suspicious Minds?- Yes.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05We think that's Suspicious Minds.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07It is. Can you now sing it, CJ?
0:23:07 > 0:23:13I could, but I'm not going to. Covered by The Fine Young Cannibals.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Yeah, you're right.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Peter, 01792 is the dialling code for which Welsh city?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30I used to think there was a strange logic behind these numbers
0:23:30 > 0:23:35in that if they were earlier alphabetically,
0:23:35 > 0:23:40they'd be earlier numerically as well.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46So going on that rationale,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I'm gonna say Swansea.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55I'm trying to follow that. There must be something before Swansea?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I don't know whether this is true or not,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01but I thought there was a system
0:24:01 > 0:24:06whereby the earlier alphabetically the name was, the lower the number.
0:24:06 > 0:24:12The "1" was added several years ago, so it would've begun with "7".
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Going on that rationale, I'll say Swansea...please?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Well, "please" has got it. Swansea is the correct answer. Well done.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Is that true, Eggheads?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27If you take out "01", you get "7",
0:24:27 > 0:24:307's a higher number, so it's an "S"?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I suppose so. I don't know.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37When the system was first designed, it worked broadly in that way.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Over the years, with so many more numbers needed,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- there's been some in-filling and mucking about.- Fascinating.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50What is the term for the small, intricately carved ivory toggles
0:24:50 > 0:24:55used to fasten a pouch to a kimono sash?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Ryokan?- That would be strange.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08What are the small, intricately carved ivory toggles
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- used to fasten a pouch to a kimono sash?- Netsuke?- Yes.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18We think that's a netsuke or however you want to pronounce it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23- How do YOU want to pronounce it? - I normally pronounce it "netski".
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- That's how I've heard it pronounced as well.- You're right.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31It is..."net-su-kay".
0:25:35 > 0:25:40So you're on your own against them and you're holding your own.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44The scores are level. We now go to Sudden Death.
0:25:44 > 0:25:51- These questions are not multiple choice. This is where you feel the lack of being able to confer.- OK.
0:25:51 > 0:25:59Here we go. "Died 14th of January, 1872, aged 16 years, let his loyalty and devotion be a lesson to us all"
0:25:59 > 0:26:03is the inscription on the gravestone of which famous animal?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Could you repeat that, please?- Yeah.
0:26:10 > 0:26:17"Died 14th of January, 1872, aged 16 years, let his loyalty and devotion be a lesson to us all"
0:26:17 > 0:26:22is the inscription on the gravestone of which famous animal?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26It sounds like it could be something military.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I'm really not good on history and dates.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I don't know why,
0:26:32 > 0:26:38but I've got a feeling it's a horse, some famous military chap's horse.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43Um... But I'm struggling to think who it could be.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48I don't know. Maybe Wellington's horse or something like that.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54I can't bring any names to... I can't bring any names to mind.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59So I'm really sorry. I can't give you an answer there.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Are you gonna try any name, any animal, in history?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I don't know. Lassie?
0:27:05 > 0:27:10It's not Lassie. It's Greyfriars Bobby.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Oh, the dog.- Yeah, Skye terrier.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16He stood by his... Is it in Glasgow?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Edinburgh.- Stood by the grave.
0:27:19 > 0:27:25For years. People came and fed him and he became a mascot.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31It was the first thing that came through my mind when you asked that question and then I veered off.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37You're not out yet. Let's see if the Eggheads can win the contest.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Eggheads, halcyon is a poetic name for which bird?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45It's the kingfisher, Jeremy.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49It is the kingfisher. Congratulations, you've won.
0:27:54 > 0:28:02Commiserations to the Challengers. The Eggheads still reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07You won't be going home with £3,000, so it rolls over to the next show.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Join us next time to see if the new Challengers can defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20£4,000 says they can't. Until then, goodbye.
