0:00:04 > 0:00:09These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:16Together they make up the Eggheads, arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21The question is: can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, where five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:33pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37You might recognise them. They are Goliaths in the world of TV quizzes.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40They are the Eggheads.
0:00:40 > 0:00:47Taking them on today are Jack High, friends and family who all belong to the same bowls club.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Alan, 64, a retired prison officer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello. I'm Coral, I'm 70, and a retired civil servant.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi. I'm Jonathan, I'm 47, and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Hi. I'm Keith, I'm 59, and an independent financial adviser.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi. I'm Andy, I'm 39, and I'm a spare parts co-ordinator.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15- You're all bowlers.- Indeed. - And Jack High is a bowling term.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20It's when the jack is bowled down the green, the skip places it,
0:01:20 > 0:01:27and when the first bowler bowls his wood, it arrives level with the jack. That is jack high.
0:01:27 > 0:01:35You all have fascinating and very different interests. Andy's gone on 300 rollercoasters.
0:01:35 > 0:01:41There or thereabouts, yes. Around the UK and Europe and a lot of the United States.
0:01:41 > 0:01:47- Do they get more or less scary? - The rides get more intense as technology improves.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52- Best one in the world right now? - Probably at Cedar Point in Ohio.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57- Been on it?- Been on it. 120mph, 400-foot straight down.
0:01:57 > 0:02:03We'll see if we can reach higher speeds here. Good luck.
0:02:03 > 0:02:10Every day there is £1,000 up for grabs for our challengers. If they fail, that rolls over.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15So, Jack High, the Eggheads have won the last 10 games
0:02:15 > 0:02:19so £11,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23The first head-to-head battle is on Food and Drink.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Challengers, who will play this one?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Right, who wants to do it?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I'm happy to do it. You are?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- All right, Andy. - OK, I'll play it.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- Andy, food and drink. - Food and Drink.- Pick an Egghead.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48- Chris. I'll take on Chris. - So it's Andy from Jack High versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00- Andy, the first or the second set? - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09OK, what is thick brown residue that is the by-product of sugar refining?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Em...
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Caramel is thick and brown, but it does go brittle.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Palm sugar I've not heard of.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27I'm going to go for molasses.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30It's the correct answer. Well done.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38Chris, marmalade is traditionally made from oranges from which Spanish city?
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Marmalade is traditionally made from oranges from which Spanish city?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49They are Seville oranges, Jeremy.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51You are quite right.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Second question, Andy.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Parasol and Blewit are varieties of which foodstuff?
0:04:02 > 0:04:07I have to admit I have not heard of either of them.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Em, it's going to be a complete and utter guess.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18I'm going to go for mushroom because it could be a parasol shape.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23- Mushroom. - Great deduction. You're right.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Chris, which salad, created at the Brown Derby in Hollywood in 1937,
0:04:33 > 0:04:39traditionally contains chicken, bacon, eggs, Roquefort and avocado?
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Well, Greek salad is traditional. It's got feta in it and wouldn't be created in '37.
0:04:49 > 0:04:56Waldorf salad was created at the Waldorf Astoria and has apples and celery, so it's a Cobb salad.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Quite right. The Cobb salad.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Two points apiece.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08Which traditional pudding is made with sweetened milk and rennet?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Right, I...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Junket, I think, is curds and whey.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I'm going to go for posset.
0:05:24 > 0:05:31- Have you eaten any of these recently?- I haven't eaten junket since I was about six years old.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36When you ate junket, it had sweetened milk and rennet in.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Junket is the correct answer.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41So, Chris, for the round,
0:05:41 > 0:05:45what type of food is served at a Brazilian churrasco?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Hmm, interesting.
0:05:55 > 0:06:01Well, given that they are sort of tropical, and they are fairly carnivorous,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05the sort of thing you could do in the open-air on an impromptu basis...
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I'd say barbecued meat.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14Spot on, Chris, well done. Andy, beaten by our Egghead there.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19As a result you cannot take your place in the final round.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Come back and join your teams.
0:06:21 > 0:06:27The challengers have lost one brain from the final round, the Eggheads have lost none.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Next is Film and Television.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Who from Jack High wants this? And against whom?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- I think it looks like me, doesn't it?- I think it does.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Are you happy with that? Yeah, I'm relaxed.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- Jonathan, you sound robust. - I'm good for this one.- Confident?
0:06:48 > 0:06:56- Pick one. Not Chris, obviously. - I think I am going to take on... Daphne, please.
0:06:56 > 0:07:02Daphne on Film and Television. Daphne from the Eggheads against Jonathan from Jack High.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Please both take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:07 > 0:07:15- Jonathan, a civil servant...- Right. - You've travelled extensively including Las Vegas how many times?
0:07:15 > 0:07:21Five times now, Jeremy. Just the whole buzz about the place is fascinating.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27- You're up against Daphne. Do you want to go first or second?- First.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36How did Captain Mainwaring typically refer to Private Pike in Dad's Army?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45One of the all-time classic catchphrases there.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49It was in my time. The answer is, "Stupid boy!"
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Absolutely right. Well done.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54"You stupid boy!"
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Daphne,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00what was the colour of the famous book in This Is Your Life?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08That would be the big red book.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- Well done. Held by...? - Well, I remember Eamonn Andrews.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Yes, he was the most high profile.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19One point each. Jonathan,
0:08:19 > 0:08:26which actor provided the baby's voice in the 1989 film Look Who's Talking?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Oh, I haven't seen the film, I haven't seen the film.
0:08:31 > 0:08:37I know Tom Hanks has done, I think, a voiceover in Toy Story.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I'm going to go for Bruce Willis, Jeremy.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45And you're right! It was.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Pressure's on, Daphne. How are you feeling?- Ohh(!)
0:08:51 > 0:08:58In the 1951 film The African Queen, what is the African Queen?
0:09:02 > 0:09:07They don't make films like that no more, do they? It's a boat.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14It is a boat. Well done. Two points each.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Final question for you, Jonathan.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23In what type of workplace was the 1990s BBC comedy The Brittas Empire set?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31OK. One that I did watch over the years.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36A classic in how not to be a manager. A leisure centre.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Yes, it was.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46Daphne, you need this or you will not be playing in the final round.
0:09:46 > 0:09:55Which former Premiership footballer appeared in the 2006 film Basic Instinct 2?
0:09:59 > 0:10:05I think this is bye-bye, Daphne, because I really don't know.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Stan Collymore.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Is that your answer?- Yes. - Why did you guess that?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19I just guessed it. I can't see Paul Ince
0:10:19 > 0:10:25and Graeme Le Saux I don't think, so I'm just hoping it's...
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Is it? Put me out of my misery! - It IS Stan Collymore!
0:10:29 > 0:10:36- Oh, thank you!- Well done! They know so much, their guesses somehow get better.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41You've answered three questions each. We now go to sudden death.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Just to make it harder, these will not be multiple choice.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52Who was the director of the 1970s films The French Connection and The Exorcist?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Oh, I'll think about this one.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- I need a first name and a surname. - I'm getting the name William.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Exorcist...French Connection.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm... Is it...?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13William...
0:11:13 > 0:11:17I'm trying to get it. William Friedken, Friedkin?
0:11:17 > 0:11:23- William...?- Friedkin. - You're spot on. Well done.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25That is the director's name.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27William Friedkin.
0:11:27 > 0:11:33So, Daphne, which American film star first came to prominence as Inspector Steve Keller
0:11:33 > 0:11:39in the long-running 1970s police drama The Streets of San Francisco?
0:11:41 > 0:11:47Oh, dear. It's one of two. I can't remember which is which. Michael Douglas.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Is the right answer. Who else?- Karl Malden.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Karl Malden, that's right.
0:11:55 > 0:12:02Jonathan, which actress starred in the Talking Heads TV plays entitled A Cream Cracker Under The Settee
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and Waiting For The Telegram?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I recognise A Cream Cracker Under The Settee.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Thora Hird.
0:12:18 > 0:12:24Spot on. It was Thora Hird. Brilliant play!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27By our bowler. Well done.
0:12:27 > 0:12:34Which actress won an Oscar for her role in the 1989 film My Left Foot?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Brenda...Blethyn.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- That's your answer? Brenda Blethyn?- Yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50- It's wrong.- Is it? - You can hear CJ here, who is obviously in some physical pain.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- It is Brenda Fricker.- Oh! - Before that, best known as...?
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- She was in Casualty! - Yes. As Nurse Megan Roach.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Yes. Oh, blast!
0:13:02 > 0:13:05So, Jonathan, what superb play!
0:13:05 > 0:13:10You emerged triumphant. Good news for our challengers.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15That means you will be able to play in the final round. Congratulations.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Both of you rejoin your teams.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22The Eggheads and the challengers have lost one brain each.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25The next subject is Science.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Who wants to take this on?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I think that might be down to you.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36- Yes, it's not one of my... - Not one of mine, either.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I think it's you, Keith.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42< Go for it.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- Keith, who do you want to take on? - Judith.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51So Keith from Jack High versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Please go to the Question Room.
0:13:54 > 0:14:00- Keith, do you want the first set or the second set? - I'll go first, please.
0:14:03 > 0:14:11Science questions. The prairie dog is a type of ground squirrel native to which continent?
0:14:13 > 0:14:20I don't know the answer, but I've never seen one in Europe on my travels.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I think I'll go for North America.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Quite right! That is the right answer.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Judith,
0:14:31 > 0:14:37what is the machine that uses electric and magnetic fields
0:14:37 > 0:14:41to propel electrically-charged particles?
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I think that's probably a particle accelerator.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53You want conviction. A particle accelerator.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- I've given up asking for conviction. - A particle accelerator!
0:14:57 > 0:15:01That's it! Well done! You've done it.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Which highly-flammable colourless gas is commonly mixed with oxygen
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and used as a fuel in welding?
0:15:14 > 0:15:22Well, I think butane is normally the camping-type containers we use for stoves.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Acetylene is the answer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27It is the answer.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30You're right.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Judith, to keep up.
0:15:32 > 0:15:38What name is given to a triangle of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two
0:15:38 > 0:15:42immediately to the left and right of it in the row above?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I shall read that question again.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54What name is given to a triangle of numbers
0:15:54 > 0:16:03in which each number is the sum of the two immediately to the left and right of it in the row above?
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- I think it's Fermat's Triangle. - Ever seen one?- No.- It doesn't exist.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- It's Pascal's Triangle.- Oh.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Keith,
0:16:13 > 0:16:19water and what else are produced when acids react with bases?
0:16:28 > 0:16:32I'm not quite sure, but I don't think it's carbon.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39I'll hazard a guess at... hydrogen ions.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Your guess is wrong because it's salts.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Still in with a chance, Judith.
0:16:48 > 0:16:55Axilla is the anatomical name for which part of the human body?
0:16:59 > 0:17:05Axilla is the anatomical name for which part of the human body?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09It's either armpit or groin. I think it's armpit.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Correct answer. Well done.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So the scores are level.
0:17:15 > 0:17:22We now go on to sudden death. You have to give us the answer, Keith, to this question.
0:17:22 > 0:17:29Which reddish-black mineral consisting of ferric oxide takes its name from the Greek for blood-like?
0:17:29 > 0:17:34I'm not quite sure, but I'll hazard a guess at...
0:17:36 > 0:17:38..a substance called rougeon.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44It's a kind of exotic guess. It's hematite.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Judith,
0:17:47 > 0:17:54which disease, transmitted by ticks and affecting the joints, heart and brain,
0:17:54 > 0:18:01is named after a town in Connecticut where it was first identified in humans in 1975?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I think that's Lyme's Disease.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07You're absolutely right, Judith. Well done.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11You've won after sudden death.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Keith, you will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Please both come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24So the challengers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26The Eggheads have lost one.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Our last subject is Sport.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Who wants Sport?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I've got no idea about sport.
0:18:34 > 0:18:40- I think it's me!- It's you, Coral, is it? Who would you like to play?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Which one looks the most sporty?
0:18:43 > 0:18:49- I'll go with CJ. - You wouldn't be the first, Coral.
0:18:50 > 0:18:56So it's Coral from Jack High versus CJ from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:19:00 > 0:19:07- Coral, good luck in this round. - Thank you.- Do you want the first or the second set of questions?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11The first set, please.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17Which footballer was nicknamed The Non-Flying Dutchman due to his fear of flying?
0:19:22 > 0:19:27The name I hoped would come up has come up. I hope it's correct.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29That is Dennis Bergkamp.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Well done, Coral! You're right.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I think he went to a World Cup by land.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43- Yeah.- He could do it by the Trans-Siberia.
0:19:43 > 0:19:50- How would he do that? - Going from Holland, Holland-Berlin, Berlin-Moscow,
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Moscow-Trans-Siberia and get the ferry to Yokohama and you're in Japan.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00- CJ, you awake?- Has Chris finished? - Here's your question.
0:20:00 > 0:20:09Pierre de Coubertin modelled which Olympic sport on the skills required of a battlefield courier?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Oh, I see. OK.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- You've just understood the question? - Yeah.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26OK, a battlefield courier.
0:20:26 > 0:20:33It's presumably someone who goes backwards and forwards taking messages. That was done by bicycle,
0:20:33 > 0:20:38generally, in the days before more efficient methods came along.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43The only one of those that contains a bicycle is the triathlon.
0:20:43 > 0:20:51The other two would be an awful lot of skills, so I'll try with not much certainty, the triathlon.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Daphne's thrown her hands down. You're wrong, CJ.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- Modern Pentathlon! - Yes. Daphne?
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Horses, shooting, fencing, swimming, running.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Was there a bicycle?- No!
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Coral, first blood to you. Well done.
0:21:13 > 0:21:19Which marathon runner won the first of his two Olympic gold medals running barefoot
0:21:19 > 0:21:22in Rome in 1960?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Abebe Bikila. - How have you got that one?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I recognise the name, that's all.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49It's right. Under pressure, CJ.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- You need to do more crown bowling. - I do!- Sharpens the mind.
0:21:54 > 0:22:02Tim Ambrose, who made his test debut in 2008, regularly performs what role in the England cricket team?
0:22:06 > 0:22:11I've never heard of him, so he's a wicket keeper!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You're right.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I don't know how, but you're right.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Coral, get this right
0:22:19 > 0:22:22and you've knocked CJ out.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27In which sport would you take part in the Louis Vuitton Cup?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I haven't heard of it.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Em...
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I think I'll rule out golf.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I'll go for sailing.
0:22:45 > 0:22:54There's just a quiet, suppressed cheer of encouragement here, Coral. You've got it completely right.
0:22:54 > 0:23:00That is particularly good because CJ has not been knocked out in a head-to-head
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- for about 12 games?- First time I've lost since you've been here.
0:23:05 > 0:23:1112 in a row. Coral, well done. Good news for the challengers.
0:23:11 > 0:23:18You'll be able to play in today's final round. Both please rejoin your teams.
0:23:18 > 0:23:24This is what we've been playing towards. Quite a contest today. The final round, General Knowledge.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Those of you who lost won't be allowed to take part.
0:23:29 > 0:23:36That is Keith and Andy from Jack High and CJ and Daphne from the Eggheads. Please leave the studio.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43Alan, Coral, Jonathan, you are playing to win Jack High £11,000.
0:23:43 > 0:23:49Judith, Kevin and Chris, you're playing for the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54I'll ask each team three questions. They are all on General Knowledge.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00You are allowed to confer. Jack High, are your three brains
0:24:00 > 0:24:07better than the Eggheads' three? Alan, Coral, Jonathan, would you like to go first or second?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10We'll stick with going first.
0:24:13 > 0:24:21- Good luck.- Thank you. - Which character from Friends had a hairstyle named after her?
0:24:27 > 0:24:32- It's the one that Jennifer Aniston played.- I've never seen it.
0:24:32 > 0:24:38It was Jennifer Aniston. I'm pretty sure it's the Rachel.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Rachel.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Rachel.- Well done. It was Rachel.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Eggheads,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Longbridge, Dagenham and Cowley were sites for which industry?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- The car industry.- Quite right.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Back to you, Jack High. The private detective Easy Rawlins
0:25:01 > 0:25:05is the creation of which American crime novelist?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15I've not heard of this detective.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19The only one I've heard of is Elmore Leonard.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22That's the only one out of those three.
0:25:22 > 0:25:28I don't recognise any of them. We'll just have to guess this one.
0:25:28 > 0:25:34- That's the only one I've heard of.- Go for that one, then.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39Purely a guess. We'll go for Elmore Leonard.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I'm sorry, you're wrong. It was Walter Mosley.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Eggheads, to go ahead.
0:25:45 > 0:25:52The Happy Valley Set, as featured in the 1987 film White Mischief, lived in which African country?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58It was Kenya.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00It was indeed Kenya.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Third question now.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07What is the official language of Bangladesh?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Bangladesh...
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- Bangladesh is on the east side of India.- Yes.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- I associate Urdu with Pakistan. - Yes, I would tend to also.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31- OK. I don't think it's Hindi. - No.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I think it's Bengali.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Let's go with Bengali. It's our best shot.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- Our best shot is Bengali. - Bengali? Right.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45"Phew!" he says.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Eggheads, if you get this right, you win again.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Which critical theorist wrote the essay The Death of the Author?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I should know this.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Deconstruction.- Yes.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16He would be my best guess.
0:27:16 > 0:27:22They've got to get this wrong for you. Ruled one out?
0:27:22 > 0:27:28There is a favourite there, but... it could be one of the others.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34Barthes was... Deconstruction was his thing.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41In terms of fragmented narratives, it fits. It fits with Barthes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- Shall we go for Barthes?- Yeah. We're all-square if it's wrong.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50On the basis that he was famous as a deconstructivist,
0:27:50 > 0:27:56the idea being that stories are constructed in readers' minds more than by authors,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00yeah, Roland Barthes.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Barthes is your answer. Correct.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Swift at the end there. Commiserations, challengers.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20The Eggheads have done what comes naturally. Their streak continues.
0:28:20 > 0:28:26You won't be going home with the £11,000, so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:34Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if the new challengers do it.
0:28:34 > 0:28:40£12,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
