0:00:04 > 0:00:09These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable
0:00:14 > 0:00:15quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34You might recognise them as they've won
0:00:34 > 0:00:38some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Taking on our quiz champions today are PONI Express. The team all work
0:00:42 > 0:00:45for the Police Ombudsman Service in Northern Ireland, hence PONI,
0:00:45 > 0:00:50and every Christmas they take part in the office quiz. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Steve, I'm 46 and I'm an investigation officer.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Tim, I'm 57 and I'm an investigating officer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm John, I'm 60 and I'm a retired investigations officer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Matt, I'm 31 and I'm an investigating officer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm David, I'm 50 and I'm a customer care officer.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13So, Steve - investigations is your business.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- That's correct, Jeremy. - Investigating the police?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Absolutely right. - As police officers yourselves.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Some of us are, some are retired, and some are from other professions.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27You've got, I guess, an eye for detail. Have you, John?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29You're retired...investigator.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Is there any such thing as a retired investigator?- Never.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36So, you're picking up on details the whole time.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- That's right.- That's why you're good at quizzes.- We like to think so.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And that's why you'll beat these guys today.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Without a doubt.- Excellent, confidence. That's what we want.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52However, if they fail to beat the Eggheads, the prize money
0:01:52 > 0:01:54rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56So, PONI Express,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03which means £4,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05The first head-to-head battle
0:02:05 > 0:02:08will be on the subject of film and television,
0:02:08 > 0:02:09and challengers, you get to choose
0:02:09 > 0:02:12which one of you plays and who you play against.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Have a think.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Oh, I didn't want to go first!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18You're good on television, I think.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- It's gonna be me, innit? - Got to be Tim.- Yep.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23We'll have Tim, Jeremy.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29And who looks like their knees are knocking under the desk?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30- Judith?- Judith?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I think we'll go for Judith, Jeremy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40So, it's Tim from PONI Express versus Judith from the Eggheads,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42and let's ensure there's no conferring.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- So, Tim, good luck with this. How are you feeling?- Slightly nervous.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53You have three questions, three multiple choice questions,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57you know that. You can decide whether to take the first set
0:02:57 > 0:02:59or the second, which would you like?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I'll go first, if you don't mind, Jeremy.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Tim, our investigator from Belfast,
0:03:07 > 0:03:13who won a record-equalling third acting Oscar for his performance in the 1997 film As Good As It Gets?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Well, it's certainly not Russell Crowe,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and I don't think it's Tom Hanks.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'll go with Jack Nicholson.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28You're absolutely right, Tim. Jack Nicholson, correct.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Wahey, well done, Tim!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33CJ, you want to say something?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36He's got three wins but ten other nominations.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- He's been nominated 13 times. - And no-one beats that, do they?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- No-one's close?- No-one's close.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46All right, Judith. Which actor played Barry Evans
0:03:46 > 0:03:50in EastEnders and later appeared as himself in the TV sitcom Extras?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Oh, that was before I started watching EastEnders.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Steve McFadden was the, erm...
0:04:04 > 0:04:06..what looked like the twin to Phil Mitchell...
0:04:09 > 0:04:11..so not him.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17So, it's one of the others. What about Sid Owen?
0:04:17 > 0:04:18What about Sid Owen?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oh, you want conviction, don't you?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23OK, conviction. Sid Owen.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26It's wrong, it's Shaun Williamson!
0:04:26 > 0:04:28When did you start watching it, Judith?
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- I can't remember. About a year and a bit ago.- He'd been and gone by then.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35He must have done, I don't know him.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38All right, the investigators from Belfast are in the lead,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41and your second question now, Tim.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44In 1978, Melvyn Bragg presented the first ever episode
0:04:44 > 0:04:46of which long-running arts show?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I think it's still going,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54it's The South Bank Show.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Absolutely right. Well done.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Clap it, come on!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Judith, in which 1987 film did Timothy Dalton
0:05:05 > 0:05:07first play James Bond?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I can never remember the titles of any.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I mean, which James Bond film is which James Bond film,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25but I have a feeling it's The World Is Not Enough.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Judith, that's incorrect,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32the correct answer is The Living Daylights. So, well done, Tim.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36You have taken on the might of the Eggheads and emerged triumphant.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38That's good news for the challengers, it means
0:05:38 > 0:05:41you'll be able to play in today's final round.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Congratulations. Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51So, as it stands, the challengers haven't lost any brains
0:05:51 > 0:05:54from the final round, while the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58The next subject is music. Who from the challengers
0:05:58 > 0:05:59will be playing in this round,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and who would you like to take on? You tell us.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Music?- Gotta be Matt, hasn't it?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I think we are going to have Matt for this, Jeremy.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Matt. And you can have anyone but Judith.- I think Chris.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16We've made a decision and we'll go for Chris, Jeremy.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19So, Matt from PONI Express against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Please take your positions in the question room.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Chris, Brain Of Britain champion,
0:06:26 > 0:06:30International Mastermind since 1983, Mastermind in the '80s.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I'm assuming you need to know a lot of music for that.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yeah. As long as it's Wagner, I'm OK.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38But the modern pop stuff, you can forget it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41And as for rap, there's a letter missing.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44But if you don't like rap but you have to know it,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48how are you getting across that every day? What are you doing?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Nothing. I ignore it and hope it goes away.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54So, if a rap question comes up, you're stuffed. Is that right?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Yep.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59All right. Well, bring it on, I can hear PONI Express thinking.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Matt, you get to choose whether you take the first
0:07:02 > 0:07:04or the second set of questions.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'll take the first, please.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Matt, here's your first question.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14To which section of the orchestra does the double bass belong?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25To be honest, I'm not really into classical music as such.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26But I believe...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Woodwind doesn't sound right,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31brass doesn't sound right, so I'll go string.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32String is correct, yeah.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Like a big cello.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37What's the difference between a double bass
0:07:37 > 0:07:39and a big cello, Eggheads?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- A double bass is even bigger. - It's just bigger?- Yes.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- Same number of springs...strings! Has it got springs?- Boing!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Chris, you ready?
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Who sang the theme tune to the 1964 James Bond film, Goldfinger?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00That was Shirley Bassey.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- Absolutely right. I can tell you like it.- It's OK.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Matt, your second question.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11"See the stone set in your eyes,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14"see the thorn twist in your side,"
0:08:14 > 0:08:17is the opening line from which U2 song?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I wouldn't be 100% confident on this one, Jeremy,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30but One is my favourite U2 song, and I don't think it's that.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34And I don't think it's Mysterious Ways, so I'm going to go
0:08:34 > 0:08:36With Or Without You.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41100% right, well done. I won't ask you to sing it, Matt.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Chris, the fandango is a folk dance from which European country?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52It's Spanish, so it's Spain.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54It is Spain.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You have 2 points each. Third question, Matt.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00A lot riding on this - here we go.
0:09:00 > 0:09:06Which German composer fathered 20 children before his death in 1750?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I was dreading a question like this, Jeremy,
0:09:16 > 0:09:17to be honest. Classical music.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23I can't recall having heard of Grieg...Grieg is it, the third one?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Yes, spelt G-R-I-E-G.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29So, I'm going to rule him out just because I haven't heard of him.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35I am just going to go with Wagner on the premises of Apocalypse Now.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I know the theme tune of that movie.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41You think if he wrote Apocalypse Now,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- he would have been quite busy in other areas?- Possibly.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45So, Wagner is your answer.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- It is.- I'm sorry, it's wrong. It's Bach, actually.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52You question, to take this round, Chris, is...
0:09:52 > 0:09:57which band won three awards, including Best British Band,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00at the 2008 NME awards?
0:10:06 > 0:10:12I think Razorlight and Kaiser Chiefs were a year or so before that...
0:10:13 > 0:10:17..or were they?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20The Kaiser Chiefs take their name from a South African football team
0:10:20 > 0:10:22but that's neither here nor there.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Erm...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29..I'll go with the Arctic Monkeys with no great hope of success.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Before I tell you whether you're right,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35can I ask, as someone who I know enjoys karaoke,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39have you ever done karaoke to I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor?
0:10:39 > 0:10:44No. I tend to do Meatloaf, later Presley, Bon Jovi,
0:10:44 > 0:10:45that kind of stuff.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48You're right with the Arctic Monkeys, Chris.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Well done, you got it.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52So, Chris, well done.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Matt, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Impressive display, not on home turf there, Chris.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01As a result, Matt, you won't be able to help in the final round.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Would you both please come back and join your team-mates?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08As it stands, the challengers have lost one brain
0:11:08 > 0:11:12from the final round and the Eggheads have also lost one brain.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16The next subject is arts and books and which one of you challengers
0:11:16 > 0:11:18wants to take that on and, more precisely,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22who do you want to take on? You can't have Judith or Chris.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27THEY CONFER We'll try and keep Dave for the sport.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- You want to go for it? - I think I'll go for that.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- OK.- And who shall we go against, guys?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Don't go with Daphne.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- I think, em, CJ.- Yeah, CJ.- Yep.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I'll have to go against CJ, I think.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48It's going to be Steve from PONI Express versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51To ensure there's no conferring, can you both
0:11:51 > 0:11:53move away to the question room?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Steve, you get to choose one thing at least,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59which is whether you take the first or second set of questions.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05Well, Jeremy, I always believe that shy boys get nowt, so I'll go first.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12In which city was Oscar Wilde born in 1854?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I've a feeling that he wasn't Scottish.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I'm fairly certain he wasn't born in London.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Something in the back of my mind thinks Dublin,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30some Irish connection, so I'm going to go for Dublin.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Spot on, he was indeed born in Dublin. He was Irish.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38You're going to tell us you knew that?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Surprisingly, yes. He's buried in Pere Lachaise in Paris.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Let's see if you know this. Silas Marner is a novel by which writer?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52That's by George Eliot.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54You're quite right, CJ. Well done.
0:12:54 > 0:12:581-1. Second question to Steve.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Cover Her Face, published in 1962,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03was the first novel by which English writer?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Right, I don't really know this,
0:13:12 > 0:13:17but Catherine Cookson's been going a fair few years.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20That came to me, initially.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24PD James was a bit earlier than that
0:13:24 > 0:13:28and as for Nancy Mitford, I can't say I've ever heard of her.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I'm going for Catherine Cookson.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Sorry to say, it's the wrong answer. PD James was the correct answer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Daphne, were they all writing at graphically different times?
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Yeah. My favourite writer, PD James.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47This was the big breakthrough book, was it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50The first one - Adam Dalgliesh.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- 1962.- Yep.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56CJ, who is the author of the African Queen,
0:13:56 > 0:14:01famously filmed with Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in the 1950s?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Not seen the film, not read the book, but I know it's CS Forester.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13You are right, it is CS Forester.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15You know a lot about films you haven't seen, CJ!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I just don't watch films, I don't have the attention span.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20But I read about them and learn.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- You learn about films without watching them?- Yes.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26I know the African Queen was 1951, but I've never seen it.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- Is it possible to enjoy a film without seeing it?- Erm...
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Yes, and it's possible to really hate it by watching it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39OK! That's an insight into what drives this team, all right?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42We could spend an afternoon on that one answer.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44As it is, more pressing matters.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Steve, you've got to get this answer right.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50What is the name of the Roman writer whose collections
0:14:50 > 0:14:54The Histories and The Annals, documented the Roman Empire
0:14:54 > 0:14:56from AD14 to AD96?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03What is the name of the Roman writer whose collections
0:15:03 > 0:15:06The Histories and The Annals, documented the Roman Empire
0:15:06 > 0:15:08from AD14 to AD96?
0:15:08 > 0:15:09I think I know this.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I think Cicero was more of a poet
0:15:14 > 0:15:18and I think it was Tacitus.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It was indeed Tacitus, yes.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Well done, correct answer.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29So, CJ, for the round. Which Eugene O'Neill play,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31set during the American Civil War,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34is a revision of Aeschylus' Oresteia?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Not sure about this one, but one of the major Greek tragedies
0:15:45 > 0:15:48is about Agamemnon and his wife Clytemnestra
0:15:48 > 0:15:50and they had two daughters, Iphigeneia and Electra.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So, purely on that basis and that link
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I'll go for Mourning Becomes Electra.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56The logic is brilliant.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00You're right, it is Mourning Becomes Electra.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05So, Steve, I'm sorry. You've lost. You were beaten by our Egghead.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10CJ, you won.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Please both of you come back and join your team-mates here.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18The challengers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:18 > 0:16:22the Eggheads have lost one brain. The last subject is sport.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Sport, challengers. Who wants to take this on and against whom?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28THEY CONFER
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Well, Jeremy, we are certainly going to give our sports aficionado
0:16:32 > 0:16:35a running, a run-out, so it's going to be David.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37And, erm, who shall we have?
0:16:37 > 0:16:42THEY CONFER
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Kevin or Daphne? - I think we'll go for,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49as we know that Daphne is dynamite when it comes to sport,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51and Kevin is pretty good, as well.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53We're going to have a pop at Kevin.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Kevin and David, to our question room, please,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00for your questions, so there's no conferring.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04David, tell me if you want the first or second set of questions.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05First, please.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12In 2008, who became the first footballer to score goals
0:17:12 > 0:17:14in three League Cup finals?
0:17:21 > 0:17:262008? League Cup finals?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33The answer isn't coming obviously.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38I thought it was Chelsea and Tottenham, who played in 2008.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42So it has to be Terry or Drogba.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Oh, dear, I'll take a punt on Drogba.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It's a good punt, you're right. Well done!
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Favour the slightly offside rule, favour the striker.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Terry plays in defence.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Your first question, Kevin.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Which rugby union player kicked a record-breaking
0:18:01 > 0:18:0529th international drop goal during the 2008 Six Nations?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I think that was Jonny Wilkinson.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I believe he holds the record for drop goals.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18You're correct, well done.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20David, second question.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24In the game of cricket, what name is given
0:18:24 > 0:18:27to a high full toss that's aimed directly at the batsman's head?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I like a bit of cricket, too.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I know a yorker is one that's sort of speared in
0:18:38 > 0:18:40towards the middle stump.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45It's a beamer.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46It's not a log hop, you don't think?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- No.- Beamer is the correct answer, well done.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Kevin, to keep up you need to get this right.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59In golf, what name is given to the grass surface
0:18:59 > 0:19:02on the perimeter of the green, that separates it from the fairway?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I'm not certain, but I think that's the apron.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12It is the correct answer. Well done.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Two points apiece to the Eggheads and PONI Express.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Your third question, multiple choice, here we go, Dave.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Welshman David Davies won an Olympic bronze medal in 2004,
0:19:23 > 0:19:24in which sport?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Unfortunately, I don't know.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39He's a Welshman. Nothing jumps out there.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'm going to go with cycling.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Cycling. It's the wrong answer.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49It's swimming, Dave.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52So for this round, Kevin...
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Babe Ruth won four world series with which baseball team
0:19:56 > 0:19:58between 1920 and 1935?
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Yeah, they became very successful once he joined them,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and the stadium actually became known as the house that Ruth built.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13It was New York Yankees.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17New York Yankees is the correct answer. Well done, Kevin.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19David, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23As a result you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28So, would you both please come back and join your team mates.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34it's time for the final round which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38But, I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:20:38 > 0:20:41allowed to take part in this round. So Steve, Matt and David
0:20:41 > 0:20:44from PONI Express and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47would you please leave the studio.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Tim and John, you are playing to win PONI Express £4,000.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58you are playing for something money can't buy,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04As usual I will ask each team three question in turn.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:21:07 > 0:21:09and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13So PONI Express, the question is - are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17You don't get any points for answering that.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Tim and John, do you want to go first, or let them go first?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22We'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Your first question, PONI Express.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30What does the Latin phrase Amor vincit omnia mean?
0:21:38 > 0:21:43What does the Latin phrase Amor vincit omnia mean?
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- It's love conquers all... - Amor is love, yeah.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49The French must get it from Latin.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53- Yeah.- Give it to him, Tim.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57We'll go with love conquers all.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- That's your answer?- That's our answer.- Bang on. Well done.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01First point to you.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Eggheads, the word schmuck, meaning idiot or fool,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07is borrowed from which language?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13The word schmuck, meaning idiot or fool,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15is borrowed from which language?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19That would be Yiddish.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- You're correct.- Oy vey!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24One point each.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28OK, guys. Are you focused on this? Don't drift.
0:22:28 > 0:22:35Wolfgang Petersen's 2004 movie Troy was based on which ancient text?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45What was the Iliad?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- I thought the Odyssey dealt with when they left Troy.- Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55It's the voyages of...so you want to go the other way, to the Iliad.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Yeah, go on.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01We'll go with the Iliad...Jeremy.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04The Iliad is the correct answer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08You're doing well, you're doing very well actually. Eggheads,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11the outer skin of the Statue of Liberty is made of which metal?
0:23:13 > 0:23:19The outer skin of the Statue of Liberty is made of which metal?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Copper...certainly not lead.- No.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I thought it was copper?
0:23:27 > 0:23:28- Perhaps it is.- I thought...
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I thought the outer skin was copper.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37I thought it was lead inside, and the outer skin was copper.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40It's either copper or bronze.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Erm... I would go for copper.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I thought the outer skin was copper.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47I'd have thought it'd be
0:23:47 > 0:23:50bright green, which it isn't.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Well, the consensus of opinion
0:23:54 > 0:23:56is that it's copper.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- You were drifting between metals there.- Yes, we were.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04You've ended up with the right one. It is copper.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05What was happening there?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You thought it was bronze, and it was too expensive?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Bronze is an alloy containing copper as well,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15so it was just a question... It would have given a different colour
0:24:15 > 0:24:16if it was bronze.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21I'm not sure we were going to be in serious doubt on that one.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Well done, Eggheads. Your reputation so far is still standing.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28The next question is for PONI Express. Which heavyweight boxer,
0:24:28 > 0:24:34dubbed The Big Ugly Bear by Cassius Clay, appears on the cover
0:24:34 > 0:24:38of The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Which heavyweight boxer, dubbed The Big Ugly Bear by Cassius Clay,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48appears on the cover
0:24:48 > 0:24:52of The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That was a long time ago...
0:24:54 > 0:24:55The '60s...
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- The bear?- The Big Ugly Bear.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04He always called Frazier ugly, didn't he?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07When he was doing his poetry...
0:25:07 > 0:25:09wasn't Sonny Liston The Big Ugly Bear?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I would have thought, simply because of his hair...
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Jeremy. - Yes.- We'll go with Sonny Liston.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Bang on, well done.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Your team-mates are very excited back there, they really are.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Eggheads, in which book of the Old Testament
0:25:30 > 0:25:33is the story of Samson and Delilah told?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39In which book of the Old Testament
0:25:39 > 0:25:42is the story of Samson and Delilah told?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Judges, definitely.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47You said that with great conviction.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- I did theology.- You did theology.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Yes.- She was around at the time.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57You're right, Daphne. It's Judges, so 3-3.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01After those three questions, you've done really well, challengers.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05The scores are level and we go to sudden death.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Your question, PONI Express.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13The guitarist known as Lemmy is a founder member of which rock group?
0:26:17 > 0:26:24The guitarist known as Lemmy is a founder member of which rock group?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26It's not Zeppelin, is it?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Not Zeppelin...
0:26:31 > 0:26:35I was thinking of...not Dire Straits, the other...
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Status Quo?- Nah.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42I don't think so, but I don't know the name.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Wanna just have a guess?- Yep. Be my guest.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I'll go with Sabbath.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50We're gonna have to guess on this one. We'll go with Black Sabbath.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- We can't think of anything else. - You're going with Black Sabbath.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Sorry to say, you're wrong. It's, in fact before I say,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00let me ask you, Eggheads. Do you know?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Motorhead.- Daphne, you said Motorhead as if you'd been
0:27:03 > 0:27:05to about 25 of their concerts.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I just know Motorhead - Lemmy.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Lemmy famously said his favourite song was Abba, The Name Of The Game.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Motorhead one of the great heavy metal bands.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Right, listen guys. You're not out of it yet. PONI Express,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20you're still in there.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23You need this team to get the next one wrong.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Eggheads, Sailing By is an instrumental piece of music
0:27:27 > 0:27:31played before which regular feature of the Radio 4 schedule?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Sailing By is an instrumental piece of music played before which regular
0:27:37 > 0:27:40feature of the Radio 4 schedule?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43The shipping forecast.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Is the correct answer.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Congratulations. You've won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Very sporting, PONI Express applauding here.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Commiserations to you, the Eggheads have done
0:27:56 > 0:28:00what comes naturally to them, and still reign supreme over quiz-land.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000
0:28:03 > 0:28:06which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Eggheads, congratulations. Who will ever beat you?
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Join us next time to see if the new challengers
0:28:14 > 0:28:16have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19£5,000 says they don't.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Till then, goodbye.
