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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32You might recognise them,
0:00:32 > 0:00:36as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And challenging our resident quiz champions today are Melody's People.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45The team are family and friends from the Ark Church in York,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49and amongst the many congregational activities they take part in,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53quizzing and the Swedish game of kubb are two of the most popular.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59I'm Stephen. I'm 48 years old, and I'm a minister.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Melody. I'm 18 and I'm an A-level student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Calvin. I'm 52 and I'm a property renovator.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Pauline. I'm 44 and I'm a teacher.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 26, and I'm a mature student.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18So, Stephen, kubb, I'm told, is horseshoes and chess combined.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Well, whoever told you that didn't research it very well.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25You throw the horseshoe at a chess piece?
0:01:25 > 0:01:30You throw sticks at blocks, really, and it's just great fun.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31There's a lot of skill.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34There's a lot of excitement, and all the family can do it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38And is this going on in the church in the morning?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Well, probably not. We try to discourage it.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43While I'm preaching, I try to discourage it.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48You're the father of Melody. Melody, you're working hard at school.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- And your name is given to the team, right?- Yes.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Melody's People.- I can't help it. They just love me so much!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Let's see whether the love survives the afternoon.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12So, Melody's People, the Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16which means £6,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19The first head to head battle will be on the subject of geography.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Challengers, you get to choose which one of you plays against
0:02:23 > 0:02:25which Egghead. Tell us. Geography.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Calvin, this looks like you're on first.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Lamb to the slaughter.- Absolutely.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33You look as if you want to vanish into the floor.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- I do, I do! Dreading the first one. - You can do it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38You've got all five Eggheads to choose from.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Which Egghead is looking like he's got, or she's got, a thin shell?
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- Judith, I think.- Judith?- Yes. - Looks like we're going for Judith.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- I've got a very thin shell. Very fragile.- Yes.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Let's see if it breaks.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57It's Calvin from Melody's People versus Judith from the Eggheads,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Would you like the first set of questions or the second set on geography, Calvin?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I'll go first and get it over and done with.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Calvin, Oporto is the second largest city in which country?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Oporto is the second largest city in which country?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30The sound of the word sounds more Spanishy,
0:03:30 > 0:03:35so I won't say it's in Belgium.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I think I'm going to go with Portugal.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Yeah, I'll go with Portugal.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44That's the right answer.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50When you said, "It sounds more Spanishy",
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I just more or less assumed you would say Spain.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55No. When I said "Spanishy",
0:03:55 > 0:03:58it means anywhere in that sort of neck of the...
0:03:58 > 0:04:03- Anywhere near Spain?- Yes.- OK. - Portugal and Spain run together, don't they? So...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05You use this kind of logic when you play kubb?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Yes. But you can't do it that way. You've got to throw sticks.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12First blood to you.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Judith, anything could happen in this round, I'm sensing.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19What is the capital of Canada, Judith?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Well, it's definitely not Winnipeg.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29And Quebec is the French bit. I think it's Ottawa.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32You're quite right. It is Ottawa. One point apiece.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Calvin...
0:04:35 > 0:04:40The Bonneville Salt Flats, often used to set many land speed records,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42are a feature of which US state?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Well, I would say definitely not New York.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50There's too much water on New York.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54So it's either Massachusetts or Utah.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59My gut feeling is Utah, so I'm going to go with Utah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Your gut feeling is spot on. It is Utah.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Your question, Judith.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10In which Italian region is the city of Naples?
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Well...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Venice is in the Veneto.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Florence is in Tuscany. So Naples is in Campania.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Judith, you're quite right. It is in Campania.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Next question to you, Calvin.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33The Mariana Trench, the deepest known part of the earth's crust,
0:05:33 > 0:05:38is formed where the Pacific tectonic plate meets which other?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I'll read the question again for you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49The Mariana Trench, the deepest known part of the earth's crust,
0:05:49 > 0:05:55is formed where the Pacific tectonic plate meets which other?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well, if it's in the Pacific, then it can't be Caribbean,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01cos Caribbean's over towards the Atlantic side.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04So I think I'm going to go with the Philippine Plate,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06is that how you pronounce it?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It's the right answer, Calvin. Well done.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Yeah!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14You've got the church folk very excited here.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Singing and dancing in the aisles.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22So, Judith, if you fail here, you're not in the final round. No pressure.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Barranquilla is a major port on the Caribbean
0:06:26 > 0:06:28for which South American country?
0:06:32 > 0:06:38Well, I don't think Ecuador has a port. It's on the Pacific side.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41And I think that's the same for Colombia, as well.
0:06:41 > 0:06:47I think it's probably Guyana, which IS on the Caribbean.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Your answer is Guyana?- Yeah.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Your answer is wrong.- What?!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- It's Colombia.- Oh, no!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Bother! - Well done to Melody's People.- Yeah!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Good on you, Calvin! You won three.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03You took on one of the Eggheads. You emerged triumphant.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Good news for you guys,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08as it means you'll be able to play Calvin in today's final round.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Congratulations.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17So, as it stands, the challengers have not lost any brains from the final round,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20but the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21The next subject is music.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Who from the challengers will be playing our music round,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27and who do you want to play against?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Music has to be Melody.- Yeah. - Got to.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32That's what you get when you have Melody as a name!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34There's no other way, is there?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Music, Melody. Now, take that over to the Eggheads.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- Who's got the most musical name of that lot?- Melody against Daphne?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Yeah.- Melody against Daphne.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Daphne, it's going to be you. Daphne from the Eggheads versus
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Melody from Melody's People.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- So, Melody, how are you feeling?- I'm feeling slightly nervous,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02but I'm hoping I'll do OK and won't let my team down.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05We're going to have three questions for you.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Multiple choice, as you know,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10and you do get to choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think I'll do the same as Calvin,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14and go first to get them out of the way.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Here we go, Melody. Which American record producer
0:08:21 > 0:08:24and founding member of the gangster rap group NWA
0:08:24 > 0:08:29was born Andre Young on February 18th, 1965?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Well, Andre Young, from hearing that, you'd think Dr Dre.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Ooh, I'd best get this one right, otherwise my friends won't be happy.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I think I will go for Dr Dre.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Spot on. It is Dr Dre.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well done.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Chris, you would have got that.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- He's one of your favourites. - Possibly!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Well, deconstruct the question, Andre...yeah, "Dre" in the middle.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Yeah, so it's gotta work, hasn't it? As for the music, uh-uh!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Here we go, Daphne, first question to you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10The Worst Pies In London is a song from which stage musical?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16My favourite form of music, musicals.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Love them. Sweeney Todd.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It IS Sweeney Todd. Well done, Daphne.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25One point apiece.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Melody, I Fought the Law and the Law Won and Rock the Casbah
0:09:29 > 0:09:32were UK hit singles for which group?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41My dad would know this one, I know.
0:09:41 > 0:09:47I've only heard the remix of those songs, but, um...
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Well, my dad's had a bit of the Sex Pistols on in the house...
0:09:51 > 0:09:53LAUGHTER
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- He's a bit of a fan of them. - This is your dad, the vicar?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Yes, yes.- OK!
0:10:00 > 0:10:04I don't know. Part of me thinks The Clash.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I think I'll go for The Clash, yes, The Clash.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09You're going for The Clash.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Probably before you were born, but you're right. Well done.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17So you were born in 1990?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Yes, I was.- And we're talking here, what, Stephen? '77?
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- 78, '77, I think, yeah. - Hey, well done, Melody. You got it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Thank you.- Two points to you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Daphne, "I guess now it's time for me to give up"
0:10:31 > 0:10:34is the opening line of which Take That single?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Jeremy, I have no idea.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49I've never listened to them. I really have no idea.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Could you say the first line again, see if it lights any fires?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56The opening line, which I'm not singing,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58"I guess now it's time for me to give up".
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It's a Take That single.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I'm so sorry, team. Babe.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10You think it's Babe?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Yeah. I told you, I haven't got a clue.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- You're joking. You haven't got a clue? We can't tell.- No.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- It's Back For Good. You're wrong. - I told you!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Melody...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Sing it to us. I bet you know the song.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I'm not going to sing...
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Oh, I love that song, though. That used to be my ringtone.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I wish I'd got that question.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35All my friends will laugh at me now, cos they know it's true.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36What's your ringtone, Daphne?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I haven't got one.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43It just sort of makes a noise, and I answer it.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46On that basis, Melody, you ought to win this round.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Question three for you and you could do it if you get this one right.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Who composed the music for the one-act opera Salome,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58first performed in 1905?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Definitely before you were born. - Yes!
0:12:06 > 0:12:10I can picture the poster for it in my head right now,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13with the woman stood on the front. Erm...
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I'm going to say Richard Strauss, at a guess.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- That's your answer? - Yes, that's my answer.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Bang on, Melody!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Well done. Well done!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29You pictured the poster.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32What is that, a famous Klimt picture or something, is it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33The Salome poster.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Yeah, it's all sort of fin de siecle Vienna, yeah.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Somebody doing the Dance of the Seven Veils.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Yeah, well done, Melody.- Thank you.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Melody, you took on one of the Eggheads, you emerged triumphant.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Very good news for our challengers,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51cos it means that you will be able to play in today's final round.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Congratulations.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Melody, that caused great excitement.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Well done.- Thank you.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04The challengers have not lost any brains from the final round,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06the Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09The next subject is Film and Television. Right?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12So which one of you wants to try and do that?
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Pauline, you're nodding.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Mrs Redman, I think this is your call.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Who do you want to take on?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Er, Kevin. What do you think, Steve?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Can't be Judith, can't be Daphne.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Chris. Chris?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Go on. Have a go.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Did I hear Chris?- Yes, Chris.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32So it's Pauline from Melody's People,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Melody's mum, in fact, versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38To ensure there's no conferring,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40please take your positions in the question room.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44So, Pauline, would you like the first or second set of questions?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I think I'll have the first. I'll go with the team pattern.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Serving you well so far.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Your first question, Pauline.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Who played the title role
0:13:55 > 0:13:58in the award-winning 1970s TV series I, Claudius?
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Erm, hmmm, I should remember this.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I think it's Derek Jacobi.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11That's my gut instinct.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Erm, Derek Jacobi is the one that springs to mind,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- so that's my answer. - And it's the right answer.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Well done.
0:14:22 > 0:14:28Chris, from which town does Sacha Baron Cohen's fictional character Ali G hail?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34AS ALI G: Here on de Staines massive.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Staines.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Definitely the Staines massive. Well done, Chris.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I think you're probably a fan of his, are you?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Not particularly, no, but he amuses me.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Very funny. Question two for you, Pauline.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50In which 1988 film
0:14:50 > 0:14:54does most of the action take place in the Nakatomi building?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Right. I know there's that bit at the end of The Terminator
0:15:01 > 0:15:04where they're all in a big building,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06and they're in a big building in Aliens,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08and they're in a building in Die Hard,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11so it's going to be one of those three, definitely.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Erm...
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I think it's Die Hard.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Where'd you get that from?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Process of elimination.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Served you well. It is Die Hard. Well done.
0:15:29 > 0:15:35Chris, what was the occupation of the character Inch High according to the title of the 1970s cartoon show?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Hanna-Barbera cartoons are one of my areas of expertise,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47and he was Inch High Private Eye.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Private eye.- He was indeed. He was a private eye.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So question three for you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Very high scoring team you challengers are today.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Pauline, in the 1970s, who played the role of Leela,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02a companion of the Doctor in the TV series Doctor Who?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Now, I actually know this, because I remember hiding behind the sofa
0:16:11 > 0:16:13in the '70s when the Daleks were on,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17and it was just fantastic stuff, and it was Elisabeth Sladen.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Elisabeth Sladen is your answer.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- It's wrong, though.- Is it?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- It was Louise Jameson. - Louise Jameson.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I'm just a decade out, you know.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I'm a bit older than I think I am, that's the problem.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Elisabeth Sladen was Sarah Jane.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Don't worry. You're not out yet.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Chris, your third question for the round.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45In which film does Strother Martin say to Paul Newman,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49"What we got here is failure to communicate"?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Well, it's not The Sting,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59and I don't think it's The Hustler, cos that's about pool.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I think it's a prison drama, and it's Cool Hand Luke.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- The hard-boiled eggs.- Chris, you're correct. It's Cool Hand Luke.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Well done, Chris. Pauline, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13As a result you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14- Oh, too bad.- Too bad.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19But please both come back now and join your team-mates.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21So as it stands, the challengers
0:17:21 > 0:17:23have lost one brain from the final round,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27whilst the Eggheads have lost two brains, and we've also had Chris's impression of Ali G.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30So it's going well. The last subject is History.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Who from the challengers will be playing in this round,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37and who would you like to take on? Stephen or Paul? History.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- What do you reckon? - I think you ought to do it.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- I think you ought to do it, Paul. - Sacrifice myself?
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- It isn't your specialist subject... - We were hoping sport would turn up.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- Lamb to the slaughter.- Go on, then.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- I'll be a lamb. I'll go for History. - And who do you want to play?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- CJ.- CJ or Kevin?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55CJ, please.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57CJ on history.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Well, I would have been a lamb to the slaughter had it been sport.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04So it's Paul from Melody's People against CJ from the Eggheads,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10would you please both take your positions in the question room?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12OK, History is the subject.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Three questions, multiple choice, as you know, and I can ask you now
0:18:15 > 0:18:19whether you want the first or the second set of questions, Paul.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'll stick with the first. Thank you.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28The Aztec civilisation was primarily based in which modern-day country?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Ancient Egypt was one of my favourite topics at primary school,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37and it's definitely not that.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39It's not Argentina, either.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41The answer is Mexico.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Delivered with great conviction.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46You're right. You're right. Well done, Paul.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52CJ, in World War One and World War Two,
0:18:52 > 0:18:56a depth charge was a weapon used specifically
0:18:56 > 0:18:59against what type of vehicle?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06They were designed to sink down and explode at a certain depth,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08and they were used against submarines.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Quite right, they were. Question two, Paul.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Which English naval victory was commemorated with a medal
0:19:14 > 0:19:18bearing a legend which can be translated as "God blew and they were scattered"?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I'm honestly not sure. My dad's a big history fan.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31One of our techniques for our burglar alarm is to have different battles as our codes.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33So on that logic alone,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36we had Trafalgar as one of them, so I will pick that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39But it is really a stab in the dark.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I'm worried that someone's trying to break into your house now...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- It's not that any more! - ..with famous historical dates!
0:19:45 > 0:19:50But I'm sorry, you're wrong. It was the Spanish Armada.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Eggheads, chance to take the lead in this round.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55In which country in 1492
0:19:55 > 0:19:57was the last Moorish kingdom in Europe conquered?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Ah, this is a bit trickier.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I mean, obviously, there were great Moorish communities in Spain.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Um...
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I can't imagine it was Italy.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I think it would have to be Spain or Portugal.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18I mean, simply because there was a great Moorish presence in Spain,
0:20:18 > 0:20:19that's what I'll go for.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22You're right. Well done.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Two points to the Eggheads, one to the challengers.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Paul, you need this. Which British Field Marshall of World War II
0:20:30 > 0:20:34was responsible for foiling the attempted Japanese invasion
0:20:34 > 0:20:40of India in 1944, before going on to rout the Japanese again in Burma?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Once again, I'm not confident on this one.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50I don't think it was Montgomery.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54I think he was more European-based.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Leaves me a choice of two. I'll go with Harding.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Your logic started right,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02but then it failed you, I'm afraid. It was Slim.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05So, Paul, you were beaten
0:21:05 > 0:21:06by our Egghead. As a result,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Well, Melody's People, you started strongly
0:21:15 > 0:21:17and then the Eggheads found their range.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Keep the faith. This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24It's time for the final round, which as always is general knowledge.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26But I'm afraid those who lost your head to heads
0:21:26 > 0:21:29won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34So Pauline and Paul from Melody's People and Judith and Daphne
0:21:34 > 0:21:39from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Stephen, Melody and Calvin,
0:21:40 > 0:21:44you are playing to win Melody's People £6,000.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Kevin, CJ and Chris, you are playing for something money can't buy,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52As usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55This time the questions are all general knowledge
0:21:55 > 0:21:58and you are allowed to confer. Melody's People, the question is,
0:21:58 > 0:22:04are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three? So,
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Stephen, Melody, Calvin, do you want to take the first set or the second?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- We'd like to go first? - Yes.- We'd like to go first.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16That was working well as a strategy until it stopped working.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Let's see how you do now. Good luck.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20From what is maple syrup derived?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Well, definitely not beavers. - Not beavers, no.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32So is maple syrup from trees or flowers?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- It's trees.- Is that because it's a maple tree you're saying that?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- I think it's trees. - I believe it's trees.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39- You think it's trees?- Yes.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- It's what I've been led to believe. - My Canadian friend would be proud.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Well, then, we will say that it's trees.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Melody, you haven't got anything wrong so far.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Trees is the correct answer. Well done.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I just love the image
0:22:52 > 0:22:56of Canadian people running through the countryside catching beavers
0:22:56 > 0:22:59and squeezing them to get the freshly squeezed beaver juice.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Let's not go there.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04What name, Eggheads, is given to land surrounding an urban area
0:23:04 > 0:23:08which is officially designated as not to be built on?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15It might turn funny colours at other times of the year,
0:23:15 > 0:23:16but normally it's green belt.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18You're correct. One-all.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Challengers,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25an "emmet", an informal West Country term for a holiday-maker,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27is an old word for what?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Could we have the spelling please?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Emmet is spelt E, M, M, E, T.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Well, holiday-maker...
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Ants or wasp?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I suppose when the holiday-makers are covering the beaches,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- they're like ants on the beach maybe.- Yeah, maybe.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55You don't think it's a wasp then?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- No.- You're the one wearing yellow.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I ain't got the black stripes though.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- No.- True.- Erm...
0:24:02 > 0:24:07I think I'll go along on the theory of ants on the beach.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09We're going to go with the ants.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- You're going with the ant?- Mmm.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Right answer.- Yes!- Well done.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18I like the idea that
0:24:18 > 0:24:21because somebody is wearing a yellow shirt,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26it can't be wasps. OK, Eggheads, your second question.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28What is the literal meaning of pomodoro,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30the Italian word for tomato?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37What is the literal meaning of pomodoro,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40the Italian word for tomato?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- OK, do you agree with that? - Golden apple.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44- Yep.- Er, golden apple, Jeremy.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Kevin, you're quite right. It is golden apple. Well done.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Two points apiece. Eggheads and challengers neck and neck.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Pressure's on.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Your third multiple choice question.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59In which month is the classic horse race the St Leger
0:24:59 > 0:25:01traditionally run?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08In which month is the classic horse race
0:25:08 > 0:25:12the St Leger traditionally run?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Well, I should know this cos I used to work in Doncaster,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- but I really don't. - It's over sticks, innit?- Yeah?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24So flat races are between... they're run in the summer months.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Right.- Being over the sticks,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28and Doncaster's got sticks,
0:25:31 > 0:25:36and it's the latter part of the season, so it's got to be
0:25:36 > 0:25:39the first one of the three choices we've been given.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41What's your thinking here?
0:25:41 > 0:25:45What I'm thinking is, it's over the sticks, as they call 'em,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48so therefore, that's...
0:25:48 > 0:25:51The flat season runs on the summer months
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and over the winter months you get the sticks season
0:25:53 > 0:25:58and the St Leger's one of the sticks from what I can remember.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Or is it a flat race? Oh, now I've confused meself.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Well, other than the connection with Doncaster I haven't a clue, so...
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Well, I'm just trying to think if it's flat or... No, no.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11You seemed to think it was June, didn't you?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I'm almost sure it's June, Steve.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Are you trying to talk yourself out of what you know?- No, I, I...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Well, what else happens...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21what happens in those months, sporting events? Think.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24The thing is, you get the Grand National, don't you?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Which is sticks. And then, is it Ascot next?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32When did the Ascot come to York?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Exactly.- Oh, I don't know.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- It was...- Which is a flat race.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- It was...- I think if we say something other than
0:26:39 > 0:26:41your first thought, we will regret it.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- I'll go along with that.- Can you remember what his first thought was?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- June.- We thought June.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- That's your answer? - It is our answer.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It's wrong. September.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Did you get it the wrong way round, Calvin, there?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Yeah. It's the first race at sticks.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04It's a flat race.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07It's the latter one of the flat races at the end of the season.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Out of the five classics, the St Leger is the oldest, the longest
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- and the latest in the year. - Your question, Eggheads,
0:27:15 > 0:27:21- to take the contest. Filippo Brunelleschi...- Oh, of course.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Was a leading... You don't know what the question is yet, CJ!
0:27:24 > 0:27:30Filippo Brunelleschi was a leading Renaissance figure in which field?
0:27:35 > 0:27:39He... Well, primarily an architect, Jeremy.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Designed the dome of Florence cathedral.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43That's his most famous achievement.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45You believe he was an architect?
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- Well, yeah... Know he was an architect.- He was!
0:27:49 > 0:27:52You're right. Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Commiserations, challengers. You started so strongly.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and their winning streak continues.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £6,000,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Who will beat you?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Join us next time to see if the new challengers
0:28:18 > 0:28:20have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23£7,000 says they don't.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Till then, goodbye.
