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 pit
0:00:27 > 0:00:31their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34You might recognise them as they are goliaths in the world of
0:00:34 > 0:00:37TV quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:43are the Black Horsemen from Birmingham.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47The team are named after their local pub the Black Horse,
0:00:47 > 0:00:52where they have been socialising and quizzing for over 15 years. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hello. My name's John.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- I'm 63 years of age and I'm an actor and a singer.- Hi, I'm David.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01I'm 36 and I'm an admin assistant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 35 and I'm a recruitment consultant.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello. My name's John. I'm 57 and I'm a carpet fitter.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Hi. I'm Mark.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14I'm 44 and I am a GIS operator.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- So, John, team captain?- Yes.- Actor?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Yes.- You've got that wonderful actor's voice. Give us a bit of it.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Thank you and nice to see you. - It's fantastic.- Yes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Casualty, am I right? And EastEnders and The Bill, parts in those?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Yeah, just blink and you've missed me. That sort of thing.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34So you've got an amazing collection of different careers here.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Trainee radar operator, one of you has been in the past. Who's that?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- That's me, Jeremy.- Right.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Administrator for a security company.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Recruitment consultant. Self-employed carpet fitter.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- That's me.- John G.
0:01:47 > 0:01:53- And Mark is a geographic information systems operator for Birmingham City Council?- That's right, yes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:57 > 0:01:58for our challengers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07So Black Horsemen, the Eggheads have won the last six games,
0:02:07 > 0:02:12which means £7,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of sport.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Which of you wants to play which Egghead?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I'll volunteer myself, Jeremy.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24OK, David. Going to volunteer yourself.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Administrator from Birmingham.- Yes. - Against who? Who's looking shaky?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Which egg is about to crack?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I'll go for Judith, please.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35So it's David from the Black Horsemen versus
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39To ensure there's no conferring, would you please
0:02:39 > 0:02:42take your positions in the question room?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44David, your choice. Would you like the first set
0:02:44 > 0:02:46of questions or the second set?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Under team orders from the captain, we'll go first, please.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54OK, here we go.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57How many times did Billie Jean King
0:02:57 > 0:02:59win the Wimbledon Ladies' Singles title?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Jeremy, to be honest, tennis is not one
0:03:06 > 0:03:11of me favourite sports, but I doubt very much that she won it one time.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I think 12 times is too many times.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18So I'll go for an educated guess, six.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Brilliant process of elimination.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22well done. It was six.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Judith, in April 2008, who was announced as the new manager of
0:03:29 > 0:03:31the England rugby union team?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I think that is Martin Johnson.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42You're quite right, it is. Well done, Judith.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44So, David, your second question.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Which football player became the most expensive ever
0:03:47 > 0:03:53when he was bought for a reported 76 million euros in 2001?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Well, football is a sport that I enjoy.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I don't think it's Rio Ferdinand, because I think he went for
0:04:04 > 0:04:08£25-£30 million to Man United from Leeds.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14So it's a choice between Ronaldinho and Zinedine Zidane.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19By a process of elimination, I'll go for Zinedine Zidane.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22The radar is working. Well done. It was Zidane.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Judith, which heavyweight boxer, born in 1878,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30was known as the Galveston Giant?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I remember reading this once and it hasn't stuck.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44It's not Rocky Marciano, I don't think.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I think it might be Jack Johnson.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52That's the correct answer.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Third question, with the score at 2-2.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59David, in March 2008, the sprinter Dwain Chambers announced that he was
0:04:59 > 0:05:04to begin a month-long trial with which rugby league team?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I remember reading this in one of the papers,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18so I'll go straight for it. It was Castleford Tigers.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20It was. Brilliant. Well done. Three out of three.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Judith, here we go.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24In golf,
0:05:24 > 0:05:30what word is given to a score of two shots over par for a hole?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I don't know is the short answer.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Erm...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43It must be American.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'm just trying to think. I mean,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48what birds...
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I don't think it would be condor, cos that's South American, isn't it?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Erm... I think it might be buzzard.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I can hear American's talking about buzzards.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Well done, you're right.- Oh!
0:06:00 > 0:06:04So after three questions each, the scores are level.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08We will now go to Sudden Death and just to make it that bit harder,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11these questions will not be multiple choice. David,
0:06:11 > 0:06:16who was the first professional darts player to be awarded an MBE?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Haven't got a clue really.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Darts was big in the '80s.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25It's made a bit of a comeback now.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I would go for the Crafty Cockney, Eric Bristow.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Completely right. Well done. 1989.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35Judith, to stay in this round.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39In betting slang what does "bee's wax" refer to?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I'm trying to rhyme it with something.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Bee's wax... blocked ears, could it be?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Bee's wax?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- The odds.- The odds?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Thank you. It's the wrong answer.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Betting tax.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Oh!- Which rhymes with bee's wax.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- I was trying to get a rhyme. - David, well done.- Thank you.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10You took on one of the Eggheads.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13You emerged triumphant. You've delighted your team-mates.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Good news for the challengers as
0:07:15 > 0:07:18it means, David, you'll be able to play in today's final round.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Congratulations. Do both, please come back to the studio.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25So as it stands, the challengers haven't lost any
0:07:25 > 0:07:27brains from the final round, while the Eggheads
0:07:27 > 0:07:32have lost one brain. Next subject for you is Film and Television.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36So which of you wants to do that and against which Egghead?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Ah, very confident hand up in the air from Mark.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Erm, Daphne, please.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49So it's Mark from the Black Horsemen versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Film and Television. To ensure there's no conferring, please do
0:07:53 > 0:07:56do go through to the question room.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Mark, would you like the first set of questions or the second set?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Again, through instructions from the team captain, I'll take the first set
0:08:04 > 0:08:06of questions please, Jeremy.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09So you've got the first set, Mark.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Here we go. Don't look too nervous.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15In the original American version of the TV series The Apprentice
0:08:15 > 0:08:19contestants competed to win a job with which businessman?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I don't think it's Ted Turner. He's not familiar to me at all.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I don't think Rupert Murdoch
0:08:33 > 0:08:36is flamboyant enough for that, but I'll go for Donald Trump.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Quite right, it was Donald Trump.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Alan Sugar over here. Donald Trump over there.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Daphne, who played the title role in the 1962 film Lawrence Of Arabia?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Can we have all these sort?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Yes, I like this. Peter O'Toole.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Peter O'Toole is the correct answer. Well done, Daphne.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Mark, your question. In the 2004 film The Polar Express
0:09:06 > 0:09:09which actor played the parts of the conductor,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Hobo, Scrooge and Santa Claus?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I certainly
0:09:17 > 0:09:22don't think it was Tim Allen and I don't think it was Eddie Murphy.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27I'll go for Tom Hanks, a very versatile actor.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Spot on. It was Tom Hanks.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Well done.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37Daphne, "The truth is out there" was the tagline to which TV series?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I know I'm going to get it wrong.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52I'm doing really badly at the moment, but I will say The X-Files.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- You got it right, Daphne. - Oh!- Well done.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Where did that come from? - I don't know! It was 50-50.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59The barren landscape.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01So pressure back on you, Mark.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04What was the name of the James Bond spoof character
0:10:04 > 0:10:06played by Russ Abbot?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I can picture him now,
0:10:13 > 0:10:19being many years ago, and I'm pretty sure it's Basildon Bond.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23It was Basildon Bond. Quite right. Well done.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Three points to the challengers, two to the Eggheads.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Daphne, Miss Hoolie, Archie, Josie Jump and PC Plum
0:10:31 > 0:10:34are characters in which children's TV show?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Oh, God!
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Miss Hoolie, Archie, Josie Jump and PC Plum are characters in
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- which children's TV show?- Balamory.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- You're right.- Yes!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- How did you know that?- Miss Hoolie.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Yes, I remember Sarah Jane watching it. She's my youngest grandchild.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Beautiful. OK. So it's 3-3
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and means we go to Sudden Death. You need to give me the answer.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02It's not multiple choice now.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Mark, who starred as Beau Brummell in the 2006 TV drama
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Beau Brummell This Charming Man?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I certainly haven't got a clue on this.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I don't even remember the film at all.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Erm...
0:11:19 > 0:11:23The only people I know who are quite charming is Nigel Havers,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25but I don't think it's that one.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29It's not Nigel Havers. It's James Purefoy. Sorry, Mark.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32OK, Daphne.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Set point to you now. Can you capitalise?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Which classic 1955 French film noir is best known for its safe-cracking
0:11:39 > 0:11:44scene in which 32 minutes pass without dialogue or music?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I know Kevin knows this definitely.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51The only one I can think of is Rififi.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- That's your answer?- Yeah, sorry.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Don't be sorry, it's the right answer. Well done.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Well done, Daphne.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Mark, you were beaten by our Egghead
0:12:01 > 0:12:05and you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09So please would you both please come back and join your team-mates?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11The challengers have lost one brain
0:12:11 > 0:12:16from the final round and the Eggheads have also lost one brain.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18The next subject is Science. So who from this team
0:12:18 > 0:12:23would like to take science? Who would you like to play against?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- You sure you want to do it? - Yeah, I'll do it, yeah.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- John G?- Yeah.- Carpet fitter.- Yes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Against?- CJ.- CJ.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34It's my second-best subject.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Your second-best subject?- Yep.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39OK, not that we're intimidated or anything. So it's John G from the
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Black Horsemen versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49John, would you like the first set or the second set?
0:12:49 > 0:12:50I've gotta go with first.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57John, which black and white mammal from the sub-family Mephitidae
0:12:57 > 0:13:02is well known for emitting an unpleasant-smelling liquid when threatened?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I've got to go with the skunk, I do believe.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Quite right. We're all wondering what it
0:13:11 > 0:13:14would be like if it was the killer whale.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16CJ,
0:13:16 > 0:13:21what's the term for each three-month period of a human pregnancy?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Well, "tri" is the prefix for three, so it's a trimester.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It is indeed. Well done. One each.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32John G,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37cubic zirconia is a cheap substitute for which type of precious material?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I know it's diamond.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- Well, I think I know it's diamond. - How do you know it's diamond?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Er, I just do. I don't know why.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51You're right, you're right.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56I'm sensing we've got quite a player here, CJ. I think he knows a lot.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I may as well just give up now, cos I'm not confident.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02CJ, which member of the sloth family,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04that weighed as much as an elephant and
0:14:04 > 0:14:10had a name meaning "giant beast", died out around 10,000 years ago?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19This is one where if you'd have asked me this
0:14:19 > 0:14:22without the options, there's one of I would have said straightaway.
0:14:22 > 0:14:28And now one of the other options is slightly trying to sway me.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- What's trying to sway you? - Well, megalodon's trying to sway me.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34My first instinct was the megatherium.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36No, I think
0:14:36 > 0:14:38the sloth is the megatherium, so that's what I'll go for.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- That's your answer?- Yep. You're right. well done.
0:14:41 > 0:14:432-2.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48John, what type of rock are soap stone and quartzite?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I've no idea, I don't think.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Geology's not my...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I'm going to go with sedimentary.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Sedimentary's your answer?- Yeah.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- It's metamorphic. - Oh, well, there you go.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10That's the type of rock. Bad luck.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12CJ, for the round.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Jaundice is caused
0:15:14 > 0:15:18by excessive amounts of which chemical in the blood stream?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Haven't got the first clue.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28It could be melanin, simply cos you change colour.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Erm...
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I don't know about either of the other two.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Simply cos it's got something to do with skin changing colour,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39even though that could be
0:15:39 > 0:15:43completely misleading, I'll try melanin with no degree of certainty.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47No, it is not melanin, you're right about that. It's bilirubin.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48No idea.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51So you live to fight another day, John.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53So it's three questions each. We go to Sudden Death.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56John, here's your first question.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00What name is given to the process by which heat is transmitted through
0:16:00 > 0:16:05contact between the particles of matter and not through movement
0:16:05 > 0:16:07of the material itself?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I'm thinking radiation. Erm...
0:16:10 > 0:16:13You've got convection.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Radiation.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22No, it's conduction.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Conduction, oh.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26CJ, to take the round.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Which planet is the brightest in our solar system?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Seen from Earth, it's Venus, but are any of the planets
0:16:35 > 0:16:37more reflective? Erm...
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Going outwards, it wouldn't be Mercury, Mars.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43It wouldn't be Jupiter, Saturn.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I'd have to say Venus.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47You're quite right, it is Venus.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Why is it so bright? Anyone? - Cos it's near.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- Near?- Well, it's nearer than most of the others.- It's reflective.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- Second closest to the sun.- The sun shines off...?- It's hotter, cos it's got an atmosphere.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Well, CJ, you've shone more brightly
0:17:01 > 0:17:06than your fellow competitor. Well done. You've taken the round.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14As it stands, the challengers have lost two brains
0:17:14 > 0:17:17from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20The last subject is Music. So who from the challengers
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- wants to play Music?- It's looking like it's me, Jeremy.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26You're very fast with your decisions here. You're well-drilled.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31It's your team captain, isn't it? So, Paul and against who?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Erm, Chris I think.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It's Paul from the Black Horsemen against Chris.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40To ensure there's not conferring, please take your positions.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Paul, would you like the first set of questions or the second set?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I'm going to go for the first set please, Jeremy.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Here's your first question.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52"If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"
0:17:52 > 0:17:54is a line from which Elvis Presley single?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04I'm pretty sure that I know the answer to this one.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I'm going to go for Jailhouse Rock.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Quite right. Chris, go on, sing it for us.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14No way. It's early Presley. I only do late Presley.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16# You were always on my mind... #
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Oh, gosh! Why did we ask? - LAUGHTER
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Your first question, Chris.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Lee Latchford-Evans and Lisa Scott-Lee
0:18:27 > 0:18:29were members of which pop group?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38They were members of Steps.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41How on earth do you know that?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I've just got a strange mind, Jeremy.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- It works in odd ways.- You're right.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Well done.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Second question to you, Paul.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Which German composer wrote the Brandenburg Concertos?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Erm...
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Not too hot on composers.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07I'm going to take a bit of a stab in the dark at
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Johann Sebastian Bach.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12That's your answer?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- It is. - It's right.- Excellent!- Don't worry.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Where did that come from, that stab on Bach?
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Just one of those that you'd probably go for the most famous name I guess.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Chris, She's So Lovely was a UK top ten
0:19:27 > 0:19:30hit single in 2007 for which group?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Eee!
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Don't think it's the Arctic Monkeys. I don't think it's Coldplay.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46So, with no hope of success, I'll say Scouting For Girls.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- It's a brilliant guess. It is Scouting For Girls.- Mmm.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55Shows elimination is often the best way of doing this round.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Paul, your third question. Which rock band,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01originally called Gothic Plague, was formed in Teignmouth in Devon
0:20:01 > 0:20:04in the early 1990s?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Right, not much of a clue on this one.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I've got a sneaking feeling
0:20:18 > 0:20:21that Pete Docherty might be from that part of the world,
0:20:21 > 0:20:26so I'm going to go for Babyshambles.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Cos he is the singer in Babyshambles,
0:20:29 > 0:20:34but you're wrong I'm afraid. It's Muse.
0:20:34 > 0:20:41Muse. Chris, the David Bowie albums Low, Heroes and Lodger
0:20:41 > 0:20:45were produced by Brian Eno and recorded in which city?
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Mm...
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Bowie's got a reputation for doing obscure things
0:20:57 > 0:20:59in obscure places, hasn't he?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02So it's unlikely to be New York.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Likewise Berlin. He's quite capable
0:21:04 > 0:21:07of recording an album in Helsinki. So I'll say Helsinki.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- You're wrong. It's Berlin.- Oh!
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Cos at the time it was recorded, Berlin was...- Still divided.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Ah!- And therefore quite an exciting place to record it.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19So the round continues.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23We now go after three questions each to Sudden Death and just to make it
0:21:23 > 0:21:27that bit harder, these questions will not be multiple choice.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Paul, which pop group's name
0:21:29 > 0:21:32was taken from a French fashion magazine, the title of which can
0:21:32 > 0:21:37roughly be translated into English as Fashion Update?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Pretty sure...
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Fashion Update... "fashion"
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I think in French is "mode".
0:21:43 > 0:21:46"Depeche" is "speed". So I'm going to go for Depeche Mode.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Depeche Mode is correct.
0:21:51 > 0:21:59Chris, which comedy duo released the 1991 Comic Relief single The Stonk?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Not Reeves and Mortimer.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Er...
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Newman and Baddiel?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Newman and Baddiel, it was not.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It was Hale and Pace.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Gareth Hale, Norman Pace. Credited as Hale and Pace and the Stonkers.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19That's another one for your library.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Well, Paul, well done to you. You took on the Eggheads.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You emerged triumphant.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Good news for our challengers.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It means you'll be able to play in today's final round.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Congratulations. So would you both please come back
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and join your teams?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42But those of you who lost your head to heads
0:22:42 > 0:22:44won't be taking part in this round.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47So, John and Mark from the Black Horsemen and Judith
0:22:47 > 0:22:52and Chris from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56So, John, David and Paul, you are playing to win the Black Horsemen
0:22:56 > 0:23:01£7,000. Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you are playing for something which
0:23:01 > 0:23:04money cannot buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10The questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14You are allowed to confer. The Black Horsemen, the question is,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21John, David and Paul, do you want to go first or second?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I think we'll go first this time.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29First question for the Black Horsemen.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30In terms of numbers of followers,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33what is the world's third largest religion,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35following Christianity and Islam?
0:23:39 > 0:23:43In terms of numbers of followers,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Black Horsemen, what is the
0:23:45 > 0:23:50world's third largest religion, following Christianity and Islam?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53I mean, Judaism. There's Jews all over the world, isn't there?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56It's got to be from a heavily populated country, hasn't it?
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- Well, Hinduism that's... - It's either Hinduism or Sikhism.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Hindus in India... there's millions in India.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05So are Sikhs...
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- I think it's Hinduism.- Hinduism.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- You happy with that?- Happy with what?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- We're happy with Hinduism.- Hinduism.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Is that your answer?- Yeah.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19You're right. Well done.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23The sound of one hand clapping.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25THEY LAUGH
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Eggheads, "Smoggies" is a
0:24:27 > 0:24:30nickname traditionally applying to inhabitants of which town?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38"Smoggies" is a nickname
0:24:38 > 0:24:40applied to inhabitants of which town?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Is it Middlesbrough simply...? - Nantwich is...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- It's famous for the salt industry, but...- Smoggy?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I mean, "Smoggies"
0:24:47 > 0:24:52if it does relate to the smoke...
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Middlesbrough was a great industrial town, Ironopolis.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Well, it's industrial... - Which town, "Smoggies", Eggheads?
0:25:00 > 0:25:04If "Smoggies" does actually relate to factory smoke and the atmosphere,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06then logically it should be Middlesbrough,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08so we'll go for Middlesbrough.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Do you know, Black Horsemen?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- We would have gone for that. - Middlesbrough.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15It's the right answer. Well done.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Challengers, your second question.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23On which album did Paul Simon collaborate with the South African
0:25:23 > 0:25:25choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo?
0:25:30 > 0:25:31On which album did
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Paul Simon collaborate with the South African choral group
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Ladysmith Black Mambazo?
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Definitely Graceland. Trust me 100%.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42- Yeah.- Yeah. - Definitely.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Cracking album. - Cracking album, I'm told.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50I've never heard it, but I'm told it's a wonderful album, Graceland.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53You're right. If you win today, you'll be able to go out and buy...
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- Buy one, yeah. - You'll enjoy it. It's great.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Eggheads, "Hello, my darlings" was the catchphrase of which entertainer?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Charlie Drake.- "Hello, my darlings"
0:26:05 > 0:26:08was the catchphrase of which entertainer?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Well, I leave the voices to Chris,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14so you're not getting me to do this, I tell you. It's Charlie Drake.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18It was Charlie Drake in that very high-pitched voice of his.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Two points apiece.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Challengers, you need this.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25What was the former name of Liberty Island, the location
0:26:25 > 0:26:27of the Statue of Liberty?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I think it's Ellis Island. That's where the...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Where all the immigrants...
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Landed originally.- Landed before going on to the mainland.- Yeah.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- I think it's Ellis Island. - Yeah, I agree with you.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- So, Ellis Island?- Have a go.- Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50We think it's Ellis Island. We think that's where
0:26:50 > 0:26:53the people used to land originally before
0:26:53 > 0:26:55they went on to...
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- The mainland. - The mainland and the States.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Ellis Island. No, it's not.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04It's Bedloe's Island.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Bedloe's Island. I think 99 people out of 100 would have said Ellis.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11It's a separate island in the New York harbour.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Ellis Island was the big immigration reception place.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Bedloe's Island's very small, where the Statue of Liberty is.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22- It's got the statue on it and not much else.- No. And then officially changed its name to Liberty Island.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Your third question to take the contest.
0:27:26 > 0:27:32Eggheads, which Brazilian footballer announced his retirement in April 2008,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36ending a career in which he claims to have scored over 1,000 goals?
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Romario.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Which Brazilian footballer announced his retirement in April 2008,
0:27:45 > 0:27:49ending a career in which he claims to have scored over 1,000 goals?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50They don't seem to be quite sure.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53There are some matches that are not sanctioned.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58But it's the famously temperamental Romario.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- Are you sure it's Romario?- Yeah, yeah.- That's your answer?- Yeah.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05It's right. Congratulations, Eggheads, you've won.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16Unlucky, Black Horsemen. And, I tell you, Ellis Island, we were all with you on that answer.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20And now you'll see Bedloe's again and again. Commiserations to you.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. Their winning
0:28:23 > 0:28:27streak continues. I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £7,000,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30which means that the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains
0:28:37 > 0:28:39to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41£8,000 says they don't.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Till then, goodbye.
