0:00:04 > 0:00:10These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:29Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:29 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37You might recognise them, as they are Goliaths in the world of TV quiz shows.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38They are the Eggheads.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42And taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:42 > 0:00:44are the Kings and Queens from Wiltshire.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48The team all know one another through quizzing at their local pub,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50the King's Arms, where team captain,
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Richard, is the landlord and Rachel is the quiz master. Let's meet them.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Richard, I'm 37 and I am a publican.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Jacky, I'm 45 and a legal assistant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Rachel, I'm 23 and I'm a probation services officer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Nick, I'm 35 and I'm a window fabricator.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hello, I'm Sue, I'm 52 and I'm a teacher.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15These are your customers, I'm assuming,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18because we've got a probation officer,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21a re-mortgaging secretary, a window maker and a teacher. I left you out.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- You've got all bases covered there, right?- All bases.
0:01:24 > 0:01:31Good luck. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers. However, if they fail
0:01:31 > 0:01:35to defeat the Eggheads the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39So, Kings and Queens, the Eggheads have won the last four games
0:01:39 > 0:01:43which means £5,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of arts and books.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Challengers, you can choose who answers the questions
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- and who you take on. - I'll take that one. What do we think about the Eggheads?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Daphne?- I think so.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I think I'm going to take on Daphne.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05It's Richard from Kings and Queens versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15I'm going to ask each of you three multiple choice questions on arts and books in turn.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Richard, do you want to take the first or second set of questions.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Please may I take the first set of questions.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Marrying The Mistress and The Rector's Wife
0:02:31 > 0:02:34are novels by which writer, sometimes referred to as
0:02:34 > 0:02:37the Queen of the Aga saga?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I don't think it's Jilly.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I may have read one or two of her books before, but I'm pretty sure
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I haven't read either of those titles.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I'm not too familiar with the work of Maeve Binchy at all.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I'm going to plump for Joanna Trollope.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Spot on. Well done. It is Joanna Trollope.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Have you read any of them?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04No.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- I have!- You have?- Yes.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Why does that not surprise me?! OK, Daphne,
0:03:11 > 0:03:15here is your first question. The Tale Of Pigling Bland is a book by which writer?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25That's the advantage of having grandchildren, Jeremy,
0:03:25 > 0:03:31because you re-read all the classics to them and it's Beatrix Potter.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Completely right, well done. And she illustrated it as well, did she not?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39I think she illustrated most of her books, if not all of them?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Just an amazing artist as well, yes.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Your second question, Richard.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Which novel was the subject of a famous immorality trial
0:03:48 > 0:03:50when it was published in 1857?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Wow... I'm really not too sure about that one.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I think I'm really going to have to guess.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'm not too sure that it would be Anna Karenina.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Les Miserables, I don't think so. I think it's Madame Bovary.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Is that your answer?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- It is.- You're right.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22A great guess!
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Daphne, in which of Shakespeare's plays
0:04:28 > 0:04:32is the witch, Sycorax, spoken of but never seen?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I can spell it if you want.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42No, no, it's fine. She is the mother of Caliban in The Tempest.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44She is, in The Tempest.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47You're quite right. And never seen. Well done.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Level pegging, two points a piece.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54See if you can get this one, Richard.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Which British artist is famous for his paintings of biblical events
0:04:57 > 0:05:01set in his home village of Cookham in Berkshire?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15If it's any consolation, I don't think your team know either(!)
0:05:15 > 0:05:17That's a great consolation, thank you very much(!)
0:05:17 > 0:05:21It makes me feel so much better(!) I don't recognise any of the names,
0:05:21 > 0:05:26I think I'm going to have to take a wild stab at this one
0:05:26 > 0:05:28and go with Stanley Spencer.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Give us your reasoning.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31What brought you to Stanley?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Do you know, I have absolutely no idea.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37It's three answers on the screen and that's the one that is glaring at me.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Well, you're right. Stanley Spencer!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45So that puts the pressure on you, Daphne, now.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Here's your question. Women, Beware Women and
0:05:49 > 0:05:53The Revenger's Tragedy are widely attributed to which dramatist?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I know I'm going to get this wrong. It's one of the Thomases.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Thomas Dekker.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15You're saying Thomas Dekker.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Yes, and it's wrong, isn't it, Jeremy?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23You're right about one thing, it is wrong. It's wrong!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Why Dekker and not Middleton, out of interest?
0:06:28 > 0:06:33I knew it was Thomas, and, you know, Thomas Dekker and Thomas Middleton
0:06:33 > 0:06:38are very similar and at the same time, and I just can't separate
0:06:38 > 0:06:41them mentally, and I got it wrong.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44You did. The correct answer is Thomas Middleton.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Richard, against the odds you've done it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51You took on one of the Eggheads and you emerged triumphant.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Good news for our challengers the Kings and Queens. Congratulations.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Both of you, please come back and join your team-mates.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01So, as it stands, the challengers have not lost any brains from
0:07:01 > 0:07:04the final round, while the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Daphne has her head in her hands.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08The next subject is sport.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Who from the challengers wants to play in this round
0:07:11 > 0:07:13and who would you like to take on?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15There is laughter breaking out.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- So it's a very strong subject? It's you?- Yes, I'm the only one who
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- knows anything about sport, I think. - And who do you want to take on?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I think I'll play Judith, please.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- How are you feeling about that, Judith?- Well, we'll see, won't we?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35So it's Nick from Kings and Queens versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Please take your positions in the question room.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44And, Nick, you get to choose whether you go with the first set or the second set.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Which controversial sportsman did Ken Livingstone say,
0:07:53 > 0:07:58in February 2008, was invited by mistake to carry the London leg
0:07:58 > 0:08:01of the Olympic Torch Relay?
0:08:04 > 0:08:09I'm not too sure about this, but there was a lot of controversy about
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Dwain Chambers this year, so...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I think I'll go with Dwain Chambers.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Your answer is wrong, I'm afraid. It was Linford Christie.- Oh.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Your question, Judith.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28John McEnroe took which tennis player to a 16-18 tie-break
0:08:28 > 0:08:33in the 1980 Wimbledon men's singles final?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Um, I think that might have been Jimmy Connors.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Oh, Judith, Judith. - Is that your answer?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Yes.- It's wrong.- Oh.- It's Bjorn Borg.- Oh, really?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I would have gone with you, Judith, I've got false memory syndrome.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03OK, Nick, you're off the hook there!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Both level pegging on zero.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Your second question, here we go.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12For which football team did the midfielder Trevor Brooking play?
0:09:19 > 0:09:20I actually know this.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Being an Arsenal fan, he scored one of his only headers against us in an
0:09:25 > 0:09:30- FA Cup Final and it was for West Ham united.- Absolutely right. Well done.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Off the blocks.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Judith, in show jumping, what is the name of the round against the clock?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47It's got to be jump-off, hasn't it? It's the only one that makes sense.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I love the way you give all your answers to me as a question.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- I know, I know.- Do I score a point by answering them?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56For us, yes!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59You're right. It is jump-off. Well done. One all.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Back to our challengers.
0:10:01 > 0:10:07Nick, which golfer lost the 1972 British Open to Lee Trevino after
0:10:07 > 0:10:11three-putting on the 17th hole?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24This one is going to have to be a guess, I'm afraid.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Golf is not one of my sports.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I would say....
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Jack Nicholas. That's a pure guess.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37And it's purely wrong, I'm afraid. It's Tony Jacklin, Nick.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Don't worry, it's not over yet. Are you ready, Judith?- Yes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43With your conviction?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Yes.- In 1947 which major league baseball team became the first to
0:10:47 > 0:10:51sign an African-American player?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01No conviction. Um...
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I just don't think it's Seattle.
0:11:09 > 0:11:15I think it might...I think it's Brooklyn or Boston
0:11:15 > 0:11:18and it's eeny-meany...
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I think I'm going to say Brooklyn.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23And it's right.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Oh, hurrah,
0:11:26 > 0:11:27you've made my day.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Well done, Judith. Sorry, Nick, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34you will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Would you both please come back and join your team-mates.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41The challengers have lost one brain from the final round
0:11:41 > 0:11:47and the Eggheads have also lost one brain. The next subject is music.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Who from this team, the Kings and Queens, wants to take on whom?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- You don't want to do it, do you? - What shall we do?- Shall we send
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Jacky? You don't want it? - I can't do music, I'll be rubbish.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- We're going to pick Jacky.- Jacky, legal assistant from Wiltshire.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Pick an Egg.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Chris, please.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Chris, music.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Yeah...!- Surprised?
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Not very.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Jacky from Kings and Queens will play Chris from the Eggheads.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions
0:12:20 > 0:12:22in the question room.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Jacky, are you ready for music?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Yes.- Do have music on when you're doing your remortgaging?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- No, not at work.- OK.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Well, good luck with this. You have the choice, of course, the first set
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- of questions or the second set. Which do you want?- First, please.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Your first question, Jacky, which group had a UK number one hit single
0:12:43 > 0:12:46with Freak Like Me in 2002?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Gosh, this will be a guess, it's a bit modern for me.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Um, I don't know why, I think it might have been the Sugababes.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I just must go to Chris on this, because, of course,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04your favourite bands are coming up here, Chris.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Hardly, but it has been a bit of
0:13:06 > 0:13:11a running gag for about three years that I fancy the Sugababes. No way!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Is she right or is she wrong?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- I think she's wrong. - You think she's wrong!
0:13:16 > 0:13:21Well, luckily, Jacky, it's not up to him. You're right.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Well, you obviously don't fancy the Sugababes if you
0:13:25 > 0:13:29don't even know that, Chris. The next question for you, Chris.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Who was the lead singer of the band Blondie?
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Ah, now we ARE talking fanciable ladies, it was Debbie Harry.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Quite right, Debbie Harry was the lead singer of Blondie.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Second question to you, Jacky. In which Mozart opera
0:13:48 > 0:13:53is the protagonist dragged down to hell in the last act?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Again this will be a guess because I'm not very good at operas.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I don't think it would be The Magic Flute.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I think it's possibly Don Giovanni.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Is that your answer?- That's my answer.- You're right. Good.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Two to the challengers. Chris, you're on the rack.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26Which jazz musician released the album A Love Supreme?
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Well, both Charlie Parker and John Coltrane were sort of...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48..out there on the fringes of jazz, you know,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50quite drug-fuelled and out there.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Miles Davis was altogether smoother.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56So, going by the title, I would say it was Miles Davis.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57You're wrong.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00It was not. It was John Coltrane.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Oh.- Obviously in a calm moment. Jacky, which rock star
0:15:03 > 0:15:05caused controversy during a concert
0:15:05 > 0:15:11in Birmingham in the '70s when he spoke in favour of Conservative MP
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Enoch Powell's views on immigration?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I think that may have been Eric Clapton.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25You're doing what Judith does, you're asking me.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Yes, I'll go with Eric Clapton.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Well done, right answer.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33And Jacky,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36that means you've got the round. Well done.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You took on one of the Eggheads and emerged triumphant.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43It means, Jacky, you'll be able to play in today's final round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Congratulations. Both of you, please come back and join your teams.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49It's going well for the challengers. They've lost one brain
0:15:49 > 0:15:53from the final round, whilst the Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Our last subject is politics.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Who from the challengers will be playing in the politics round?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- RACHEL GASPS - Attack of the vapours, Rachel?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- I don't know anything about politics.- You've probably got more
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- general knowledge.- I don't mind. - I think Sue. What do you think?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Am I nominated then?- Yes!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Oh, thank God!
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Who do you want to play against?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Who is left?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I'll take CJ, please.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28So it's Sue from Kings and Queens versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33To ensure there is no conferring would you please take your positions in the question room.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Sue, you're a teacher but you've previously been what?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Oh, dinner lady, lollipop lady.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44I've worked in hotels chambermaiding, reception.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47All sorts of things. Shop assistant, the list goes on.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Which job has best prepared you to face CJ on politics today?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55None of them, really! Of all the subjects I had on my list that I might take this wasn't there.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- So I think I've just drawn the short straw.- All right, well, don't worry.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Three questions, multiple choice and, of course,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- you choose whether you take the first or second set.- The first, please.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Sue, what is the name given to an MP's first speech
0:17:11 > 0:17:14in the House of Commons?
0:17:19 > 0:17:24It's got to be maiden speech, I think.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Yes.- You're ruling out the others? - Yes, definitely.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29You're right. Well done.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Thank you.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It's not a virgin speech or a damsel speech, is it, CJ?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I don't think so, Jeremy.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42CJ, Shimon Peres became the President
0:17:42 > 0:17:45of which country in June 2007?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Not much else to say apart from that's Israel.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52You're quite right. One point a piece.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Back to you, Sue.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56David Trimble
0:17:56 > 0:18:01was the leader of which political party between 1995 and 2005?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Right. I've got to think about this now.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I'll give you them again, if you want.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18That's all right. I'm just thinking.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Parties tend to get broken down,
0:18:22 > 0:18:26don't they, into their initial letters, so I haven't heard
0:18:26 > 0:18:31of a UUP, or a DUP. I've heard of UDP so I'm going to plump for
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Ulster Democratic Party, purely on those grounds.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's the wrong answer, I'm afraid.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40There was a UUP.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- I hadn't heard of it.- I think it was the OUP before, wasn't it, Eggheads?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Wasn't it the Official Unionist Party before?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49You know about that kind of thing.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51And then it became the Ulster Unionist Party.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53But all the names were so similar,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I think HE would have struggled with that one.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00CJ, your question, to take the lead.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Which Tory frontbencher became the first Conservative MP to
0:19:04 > 0:19:09announce their intention to enter a civil partnership in March 2008?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Matthew Parris I don't think is on the front bench.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22I've never actually heard of Caroline Spelman,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24but Alan Duncan, I believe, is entering
0:19:24 > 0:19:27into a civil partnership, so I'll go for Alan Duncan.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29And he's the right answer.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Caroline Spelman is on the front bench, but it's not her.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Third question to you, Sue.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38In 1961, Margaret Thatcher went
0:19:38 > 0:19:43against Conservative Party policy by voting for the restoration of what?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'm trying to think when...
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I don't think... This again is going to be a guess.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Um...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I don't think it would be the stocks.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01There's a lot of controversy about hanging, but I remember
0:20:01 > 0:20:04there being something... I'm going to go for birching.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I remember there being something about birching, perhaps...
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Yes, I'll go for birching. - Presumably that's not
0:20:10 > 0:20:13operational in the school YOU'RE working in?!
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- No!- It's the right answer, though.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Well done.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23CJ, your third question.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27What song is Ronald Reagan use for his 1984 re-election campaign before
0:20:27 > 0:20:29being asked to stop by the artist?
0:20:43 > 0:20:47This is when he beat Walter Mondale by a record margin.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Born In The USA was 1984, so that seems very appropriate.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Bruce Springsteen, I wouldn't have thought, was a Republican,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57so I'll go for Born In The USA.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Born In The USA by Bruce Springsteen is quite right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03He did ask him to stop. Well done, CJ, that gives you the round.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Sorry, Sue, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10and as a result you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14So, both of you, please come back to the studio here.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17This is what we've been playing towards. It's time for
0:21:17 > 0:21:19the final round, General Knowledge.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:21 > 0:21:24won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29So, Nick and Sue from the Kings and Queens, and Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31would you please leave the studio?
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Richard, Jacky and Rachel, you are playing
0:21:36 > 0:21:38to win the Kings and Queens £5,000.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Judith, Kevin and CJ, you are
0:21:40 > 0:21:44playing for something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51questions are all General Knowledge, and you are allowed to confer.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Kings and Queens, the question is,
0:21:53 > 0:21:57are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Richard, Jacky and Rachel, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Shall we go first?- I think so.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Yes.- We're going to go first.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Rachel, you're the quizmaster in the pub, aren't you?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- I am, yes.- So you see the questions every time, and they lodge, do they?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18You'd think that, but they don't, no.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Are you the secret weapon here? - No, there's a reason I read them
0:22:21 > 0:22:25and I don't participate in the actual quiz, because I can't do it!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Let's see.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Your first question.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33In which board game might you pick up a card telling you
0:22:33 > 0:22:35you've won second place in a beauty contest?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49You're pointing at yourself very excitedly!
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- That must mean...- I know the answer!
0:22:54 > 0:22:57It's not Operation, because that's the one you use little tweezers
0:22:57 > 0:23:00to pick out the bones and stuff.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04And it's not Risk, because I'm pretty sure that's a ship game.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05So it must be Monopoly.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07It is Monopoly.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12By elimination, or actually because you knew it was Monopoly?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13I still play it!
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Nothing to be ashamed of, we all do!
0:23:15 > 0:23:20Eggheads, first question to you. On which birthday does somebody
0:23:20 > 0:23:22become a nonagenarian?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37It's when they turn 90.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Nonagenarians are in their 90s.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Is that your answer?- Yes.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44That's the correct answer.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Your question.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Which term is given to irregular practises introduced by groups of
0:23:50 > 0:23:54workers with the aim of gaining certain advantages?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- It's not Spanish, because you'd know, wouldn't you?- Yes, I would.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16The French are good at manipulating things and going on strike...
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Something come up about the 35-hour week as well in France...
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Yes, I'd go French.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Shall we go for it?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Yes, that's fine.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Do that.- OK.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31We think we're going to go with...French?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Yes.- French.- French practises? - French practises.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- It's not, it's Spanish practises. - Oh, no!
0:24:38 > 0:24:43You'll now see that phrase everywhere and suddenly think, "Ah!"
0:24:43 > 0:24:47It happens to us all the time. You don't know an answer,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- you learn the answer - everywhere, you see it.- Your second question, Eggheads.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56What was the destination of the first CND march in 1958?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Aldermaston. Yeah, they marched from London to Aldermaston.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12So the destination was Aldermaston?
0:25:12 > 0:25:13- Yeah.- Correct, Kevin, well done.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20So you need this one, guys, or it's curtains.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24In 1854, what became compulsory
0:25:24 > 0:25:28for the employees of the East India Company's Bombay Army?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I want to say moustaches, but I don't know why!
0:25:48 > 0:25:51You just want to SAY moustaches, or is it the answer?!
0:25:51 > 0:25:52I don't know.
0:25:52 > 0:25:58- Why would they wear moustaches? - Why would they wear tattoos?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00What was it? East...?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- India Company.- Would you mind repeating that again?- Not at all.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08In 1854, what became compulsory for the employees of
0:26:08 > 0:26:10the East India Company's Bombay Army?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Right, I've got absolutely no idea. So, um...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23If I had to guess...
0:26:23 > 0:26:27I would guess, I don't know why, because I'm just thinking of those
0:26:27 > 0:26:30hats with moustaches under them, but I don't know.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Maybe we should go with moustaches. - Yes, I don't know.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I don't know, it could be church, but...
0:26:37 > 0:26:38I don't think it's church.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I don't think you could make someone have a tattoo, it would hurt.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45If you get this right, it keeps the round alive.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- No pressure!- So we're in agreement on moustaches?!
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Well, it's certainly the FUNNIEST answer!
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I think we're going to go with moustaches.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02On the basis that that was the one that made you laugh the most?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Yes. And Jacky can just remember people in hats with curly moustaches.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Well, do know what? You're completely right.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Well done! - And it was to command respect.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14So it obviously didn't work with your team!
0:27:17 > 0:27:22OK, they're still in the round, the challengers, our Kings and Queens.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Eggheads, your third question.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Which architect designed the National Theatre on London's South Bank?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41And if you get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45It was Dennis Lasdun, Jeremy.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49You're right. Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Commiserations, challengers. The Eggheads have done what
0:27:56 > 0:28:00comes naturally to them, and they still reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Who will beat you? Join us next time
0:28:11 > 0:28:14to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17£6,000 says they don't.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Till then, goodbye.
