7:00:16 > 7:00:20These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
7:00:21 > 7:00:24Together, they make up the Eggheads,
7:00:24 > 7:00:28arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
7:00:29 > 7:00:32The question is, can they be beaten?
7:00:35 > 7:00:39Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit
7:00:39 > 7:00:43their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
7:00:43 > 7:00:46You might recognise them, as they are goliaths in the world
7:00:46 > 7:00:48of TV quiz shows.
7:00:48 > 7:00:49They are the Eggheads.
7:00:49 > 7:00:55And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today are Amberwould.
7:00:55 > 7:01:00The team are regulars at the Amberwood pub in Dorset, where they quiz together every Monday.
7:01:00 > 7:01:01Let's meet them.
7:01:01 > 7:01:02Hello, I'm Marlene.
7:01:02 > 7:01:05I'm 55 and I'm a nursery teacher.
7:01:05 > 7:01:07Hello, I'm Eddie.
7:01:07 > 7:01:12I'm 69 and I'm a retired independent financial adviser.
7:01:12 > 7:01:14Hello, I'm John.
7:01:14 > 7:01:16I'm 48 and I'm a publican.
7:01:16 > 7:01:18Hello, I'm Christopher.
7:01:18 > 7:01:21I'm 62 and a retired solicitor.
7:01:21 > 7:01:26Hello, I'm Nick. I'm 52 and I'm a digital printer.
7:01:26 > 7:01:30- So, Marlene, you all meet in the pub?- Yeah, we meet on a Monday night.
7:01:30 > 7:01:36Christopher and I are in the same team and Nick is in a rival team.
7:01:36 > 7:01:42Eddie is the question master and John is the landlord of the pub
7:01:42 > 7:01:44and he plays if he's not cooking.
7:01:44 > 7:01:47And the pub is Amberwood with two "O"s?
7:01:47 > 7:01:50Normal spelling of "wood", yes, as in trees.
7:01:50 > 7:01:52- But your team is W, O, U, L, D?- Yes.
7:01:52 > 7:01:55- Meaning?- Because we "would" like to beat the Eggheads.
7:01:55 > 7:01:57You would like to beat the Eggheads.
7:01:57 > 7:02:01Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
7:02:01 > 7:02:06If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
7:02:06 > 7:02:12So, Amberwould, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games, which means
7:02:12 > 7:02:16£13,000 says you can't beat them.
7:02:16 > 7:02:18The first-head-to-head battle will be on history.
7:02:18 > 7:02:23How about that, challengers? You can decide who plays history and
7:02:23 > 7:02:25- against which Egg.- Should I do that?
7:02:25 > 7:02:29- I'd like Christopher, yes.- That's his speciality.
7:02:29 > 7:02:31Chris, you've got to choose an Egghead.
7:02:31 > 7:02:35Right! I'd like to play against Daphne, please.
7:02:35 > 7:02:39So it's Chris from Amberwould versus Daphne from the Eggheads.
7:02:39 > 7:02:45To ensure there's no conferring, please both of you take your positions in the question room.
7:02:45 > 7:02:48Christopher, I'll ask you if you want the first
7:02:48 > 7:02:50set of questions or the second set?
7:02:50 > 7:02:54I remember Mr Murnaghan saying in the course of a previous series
7:02:54 > 7:02:57it was advantageous to go first. I expect he was right.
7:02:57 > 7:03:00I don't understand the logic of it. So I'll go first.
7:03:02 > 7:03:05First question. In the 4th century BC, which European
7:03:05 > 7:03:10general invaded Asia, getting as far as the River Beas in the Punjab?
7:03:16 > 7:03:19Well, that was Alexander the Great. The others were much later.
7:03:19 > 7:03:20Correct answer. Well done.
7:03:20 > 7:03:24First point to Christopher.
7:03:24 > 7:03:29Daphne, the House of Thomas Farynor was the origin of
7:03:29 > 7:03:32which famous historical event of the 17th century?
7:03:39 > 7:03:45I think he's probably the baker in which the Great Fire of London started.
7:03:46 > 7:03:49- Great Fire of London is your answer? - Yes.- Christopher, is she right?
7:03:49 > 7:03:52- I think so.- I hope so.
7:03:52 > 7:03:54You're both right. Point to you, Daphne.
7:03:56 > 7:04:00Chris, which statesman was Mayor of West Berlin from 1957 to 1966
7:04:00 > 7:04:04and Chancellor of West Germany from '69 to '74?
7:04:09 > 7:04:11That was Willy Brandt.
7:04:11 > 7:04:14Would you be the team member who likes reading history books?
7:04:14 > 7:04:18- I do, but, er... - Well, done, you're right.
7:04:18 > 7:04:24You take the lead. You're going to have to fight hard here, Daphne.
7:04:24 > 7:04:25I know.
7:04:25 > 7:04:30Ferdinand Foch was a famous World War One marshal in which country's army?
7:04:34 > 7:04:37He was French, so it's France.
7:04:37 > 7:04:40He was and it is.
7:04:40 > 7:04:46Two points each. Back to our challenger from Amberwould.
7:04:46 > 7:04:50Chris, in 1977, US President Jimmy Carter signed two treaties
7:04:50 > 7:04:55promising to give up control of what by the end of 1999?
7:05:01 > 7:05:04I'm not certain of this.
7:05:04 > 7:05:07I don't think they've promised to give up the Virgin Islands
7:05:07 > 7:05:11and I think they continuously resist giving up Diego Garcia.
7:05:11 > 7:05:13I think it was the Panama Canal.
7:05:14 > 7:05:16You sound pretty sure to me and you're right.
7:05:16 > 7:05:18Yes!
7:05:18 > 7:05:20Brilliant process of elimination.
7:05:20 > 7:05:26Daphne, between 1929 and 1932,
7:05:26 > 7:05:32two 70m-long barges, thought to have been used as ceremonial ships by Caligula,
7:05:32 > 7:05:36were hauled from which Italian lake?
7:05:41 > 7:05:45I have no idea. I've never heard of it.
7:05:48 > 7:05:51So as usual I've got to guess.
7:05:51 > 7:05:54I will go for
7:05:57 > 7:05:59Lake Trasimeno.
7:05:59 > 7:06:02Lake Trasimeno is your answer?
7:06:02 > 7:06:05- Yes, and it's wrong, isn't it, Jeremy?- Is she wrong, Eggheads?
7:06:05 > 7:06:08- We'd have gone for Nemi.- You would have gone for Nemi?
7:06:08 > 7:06:11Your team-mates would have been right, Daphne.
7:06:11 > 7:06:14You're wrong. It's not Transimeno.
7:06:14 > 7:06:17Well, done, Christopher.
7:06:17 > 7:06:19Showing amazing conviction.
7:06:19 > 7:06:22Even if you weren't sure, you paused only a nanosecond.
7:06:22 > 7:06:25You took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
7:06:25 > 7:06:30Good news for our challengers, Amberwould, Christopher can join them in the final round.
7:06:30 > 7:06:33So would you both like to come back and join your team-mates?
7:06:33 > 7:06:37The Eggheads have just lost one brain from the final round.
7:06:37 > 7:06:40It's going well for the challengers. They've lost no brains.
7:06:40 > 7:06:43Next subject is science, everyone.
7:06:43 > 7:06:46Which of you wants to take science and which Egghead
7:06:46 > 7:06:48would you like to fight against?
7:06:48 > 7:06:52It's what we anticipated.
7:06:52 > 7:06:55- This is my sword to fall on.- John. - And...
7:06:55 > 7:06:59OK, ladies, I'll take on Judith, if I may, please.
7:06:59 > 7:07:04All right. It's John from Amberwould versus Judith from the Eggheads,
7:07:04 > 7:07:06former Millionaire winner. To ensure
7:07:06 > 7:07:11no conferring, please take your positions in the question room.
7:07:11 > 7:07:14John, would you like the first set of questions or the second?
7:07:14 > 7:07:19Erm, on the basis of what happened last round, I think I'll go with the first set, please.
7:07:21 > 7:07:24First question. Which part of a body is normally
7:07:24 > 7:07:27examined with an ophthalmoscope?
7:07:31 > 7:07:36Erm, oooh. Well, ophthalmics I think is eyes.
7:07:38 > 7:07:40Ophthalmics.
7:07:40 > 7:07:43I'm going to go with eye, Jeremy.
7:07:43 > 7:07:45Eye is right!
7:07:45 > 7:07:47And now eyes to the right.
7:07:47 > 7:07:53Judith, creosote is manufactured by the distillation of which material?
7:07:58 > 7:08:01Well, I don't think it's sugar, cos molasses is sugar.
7:08:01 > 7:08:06I don't think it's vegetable oil. I think it's coal tar.
7:08:06 > 7:08:08And you're right, too. Well, done.
7:08:08 > 7:08:10Second question for you, John.
7:08:10 > 7:08:15In biology, what name is given to the study of cells?
7:08:21 > 7:08:24OK, well, I believe
7:08:24 > 7:08:26haematology is blood.
7:08:28 > 7:08:31Mycology, I think, could be fungi, so therefore I'm going
7:08:31 > 7:08:32to go for cytology.
7:08:32 > 7:08:35So cytology then, please.
7:08:35 > 7:08:36- You're right.- Oh!
7:08:38 > 7:08:44Judith, what is an ammeter used to measure?
7:08:49 > 7:08:51I don't think it's solution density.
7:08:52 > 7:08:53Ammeter...
7:08:53 > 7:08:56I think it's wind.
7:08:56 > 7:08:58- Wind speed, you're saying? - Wind speed, yes.
7:08:58 > 7:09:00Eggheads?
7:09:00 > 7:09:03- Electric current.- Electric current.
7:09:03 > 7:09:07- No!- Amp meter. - Yeah, amp meter. OK, John.
7:09:07 > 7:09:10- If you get this right, you've won the head to head.- OK.
7:09:10 > 7:09:17The Pascaline, designed by Blaise Pascal between 1642 and 1644, was
7:09:17 > 7:09:20an early example of which device?
7:09:25 > 7:09:29I'll be perfectly honest with you, I don't know, so...
7:09:31 > 7:09:36- 16?- 1642 and 1644.
7:09:36 > 7:09:41- Hmm?- Designed between those dates. - Well, I'm going to eliminate calculator.
7:09:41 > 7:09:46I'm going to make my choice. I think maybe Pascal could have been do with
7:09:46 > 7:09:50microscope, looking at small things. So I'm going to go microscope.
7:09:50 > 7:09:53- You eliminated calculator.- Mm-hm.
7:09:53 > 7:09:57- But it was the right answer, I'm afraid.- Oh, dear. There you go.
7:09:57 > 7:09:59Back in, Judith.
7:09:59 > 7:10:02See if you can take him to sudden death. Your question.
7:10:02 > 7:10:05The term "grampus" was applied to which creature?
7:10:11 > 7:10:14Well, what immediately came into my mind was whale.
7:10:14 > 7:10:16And I now doubt my mind,
7:10:16 > 7:10:19since it doesn't seem to be very accurate.
7:10:19 > 7:10:22But I'm still going to go with my instinct. Whale.
7:10:22 > 7:10:26You said that with amazing conviction.
7:10:26 > 7:10:28Well, you're always asking...
7:10:28 > 7:10:33I know I am, but suddenly it's come through. You've found it and you're right.
7:10:33 > 7:10:35- Well, there you are.- Well, done.
7:10:35 > 7:10:37Sometimes it helps.
7:10:37 > 7:10:38You've had three questions each.
7:10:38 > 7:10:42Scores are level and we now move on to sudden death.
7:10:42 > 7:10:45John, your first question in the sudden-death round.
7:10:45 > 7:10:49Which dinosaur of the late Jurassic period with a small head and a very
7:10:49 > 7:10:55long neck and tail takes its name from the Greek for "double" and "beam"?
7:10:55 > 7:10:58I'm hoping that the "double" is "di"
7:10:58 > 7:11:03or "dip", so I'm going to go for diplodocus.
7:11:03 > 7:11:06Diplodocus is absolutely right.
7:11:06 > 7:11:08Pressure on you now, Judith.
7:11:08 > 7:11:12Which chemical element is also known as wolfram?
7:11:12 > 7:11:17I did know this once upon a time.
7:11:17 > 7:11:19Oh, it's not coming.
7:11:21 > 7:11:23I don't know. Erm, halogen.
7:11:26 > 7:11:28No, it's tungsten.
7:11:28 > 7:11:32- Oh!- So well done, John!
7:11:32 > 7:11:35You took on one of the Eggheads, you emerged triumphant.
7:11:35 > 7:11:39Good news for the challengers, you'll be able to play in today's final round.
7:11:39 > 7:11:44Congratulations. Would you both please come back, rejoin your teams?
7:11:44 > 7:11:47The Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round.
7:11:47 > 7:11:49The challengers haven't lost any.
7:11:49 > 7:11:51Next subject is music.
7:11:51 > 7:11:53Which of you wants music?
7:11:53 > 7:11:55I think it's going to have to be me.
7:11:55 > 7:12:01- Yes!- OK, Nick. Digital printer? - Yes.- Is that a musical profession?
7:12:01 > 7:12:03Er, we hit some bum notes now and again.
7:12:03 > 7:12:06- Yes!- Boom-boom!
7:12:08 > 7:12:11- Who shall I take on, Chris Hughes? - Yeah, go on.
7:12:11 > 7:12:13I'll take on Chris if I may, please.
7:12:13 > 7:12:18Yeah, that does happen a lot round here. So it's Nick from Amberwould
7:12:18 > 7:12:19versus Chris from the Eggheads.
7:12:19 > 7:12:24Do, please, go to the question room. I'm going to ask each of you three questions on music in turn.
7:12:24 > 7:12:27Nick, you can choose the first or second set.
7:12:27 > 7:12:30Erm, first please, Jeremy.
7:12:32 > 7:12:35The musical Dancing In The Streets is based on the music
7:12:35 > 7:12:38produced by which legendary US record label?
7:12:42 > 7:12:46All legendary, but my choice on this one would be Motown.
7:12:48 > 7:12:50Absolutely right. Well, done.
7:12:50 > 7:12:53Chris, here's your question.
7:12:53 > 7:12:58Which music awards ceremony first took place in 1977 and was previously known
7:12:58 > 7:13:00as the British Record Industry Awards?
7:13:08 > 7:13:12Mm? Interesting. Well, the Mercury Music Prize has
7:13:12 > 7:13:14always been the Mercury Music Prize.
7:13:14 > 7:13:18And the Ivor Novello Awards are in memory of Ivor Novello and they've
7:13:18 > 7:13:22been going quite some few decades. So it must be the Brit Awards.
7:13:22 > 7:13:27You're right. It is the Brit Awards. Funkier, trendier name for the
7:13:27 > 7:13:29British Record Industry Awards.
7:13:29 > 7:13:34So, Nick, which musical term indicates a rapid slide upwards
7:13:34 > 7:13:38or downwards between notes, such as on a piano keyboard?
7:13:45 > 7:13:52Erm, I haven't a clue. I can't get any stem words that I'm aware of,
7:13:52 > 7:13:56so I'm going to try for glissando.
7:13:56 > 7:13:58Well, it looks a bit like "glide"
7:13:58 > 7:14:02- I guess and you're right.- Oh!
7:14:02 > 7:14:04Well, done. Glissando.
7:14:06 > 7:14:12Chris, American Boy was a UK number- one hit single in 2008
7:14:12 > 7:14:15for Kanye West and which British singer?
7:14:15 > 7:14:19Well, it's not Amy Winehouse.
7:14:19 > 7:14:23That would have been Estelle.
7:14:23 > 7:14:25Estelle is the correct answer. Well, done.
7:14:25 > 7:14:27Two points apiece.
7:14:27 > 7:14:30Tightening up here.
7:14:30 > 7:14:34Nick, who wrote and originally recorded Chaka Khan's 1984 UK
7:14:34 > 7:14:36number one I Feel For You?
7:14:40 > 7:14:44I really can only eliminate on probability.
7:14:44 > 7:14:49I can't believe Madonna would have written for Chaka Khan.
7:14:49 > 7:14:53I can't believe Mick Jagger wrote it, but I can think
7:14:53 > 7:14:56Christopher Nelson, otherwise Prince,
7:14:56 > 7:14:59might have written that song, so
7:14:59 > 7:15:01I'm going to go for Prince.
7:15:01 > 7:15:06Yeah, he's a brilliant songwriter and he did. You are right.
7:15:06 > 7:15:10Chris, which form of classical music originating in the
7:15:10 > 7:15:1513th century normally takes the form of a vocal composition for various
7:15:15 > 7:15:19voices based on a sacred text?
7:15:23 > 7:15:27Well, bel canto just means
7:15:27 > 7:15:31beautiful singing, so it wouldn't be that and it's not bagatelle.
7:15:31 > 7:15:33So it must be motet.
7:15:33 > 7:15:37You're right. That is the form of classical music in question.
7:15:37 > 7:15:39Well, done. Nothing to separate
7:15:39 > 7:15:42you after three questions, we go to sudden death.
7:15:42 > 7:15:45First question, Nick, is this.
7:15:45 > 7:15:49"We skipped the light fandango, turned cartwheels 'cross the floor.
7:15:49 > 7:15:54"I was feeling kinda seasick, but the crowd called out for more,"
7:15:54 > 7:15:57are the opening lines of which song by Procol Harum?
7:15:57 > 7:15:59It's A Whiter Shade Of Pale.
7:15:59 > 7:16:03It was indeed A Whiter Shade Of Pale. Well, done.
7:16:03 > 7:16:07Is that one of the ones you karaoke to, Chris?
7:16:07 > 7:16:10No, but I do like that stuff, that was what I grew up with.
7:16:10 > 7:16:13Here's your question. If you get this wrong, you're out.
7:16:13 > 7:16:18Rule The World was a UK 2007 hit single for which group?
7:16:20 > 7:16:23- Sorry, guys, no idea. Pass.- Pass?!
7:16:23 > 7:16:25- Pass.- You don't say that very often.
7:16:25 > 7:16:27No, pass.
7:16:27 > 7:16:30Who cares who sang Rule The World?
7:16:30 > 7:16:33- I should rule the world.- You're passing on principle, are you?- Yeah.
7:16:33 > 7:16:37- Take That...- Yes.- Is the answer.
7:16:37 > 7:16:39So great news for the challengers
7:16:39 > 7:16:44here, cos it means, Nick, you'll be able to play in today's final round.
7:16:44 > 7:16:47Chris, you won't. Please, both of you, come back to the studio.
7:16:47 > 7:16:51As it stands, the Eggheads have lost three brains from the final round.
7:16:51 > 7:16:55The challengers still haven't lost any. The last subject is sport.
7:16:55 > 7:16:59- Oh, wow!- Which of you wants to do sport? Why are you so excited? - That's what we wanted!
7:16:59 > 7:17:04It was the only thing I was hoping for. That will be me.
7:17:04 > 7:17:07So it's you, Eddie. And you've got Kevin and CJ left.
7:17:07 > 7:17:09I'm going to take a go at Kevin.
7:17:09 > 7:17:11Have a go at Kevin on sport.
7:17:11 > 7:17:13- OK. So it's Eddie...- Do you agree?
7:17:13 > 7:17:15- Oh, yes.- From Amberwould...
7:17:15 > 7:17:17- Sure?- Yeah. - Versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
7:17:17 > 7:17:20And to ensure there's no conferring,
7:17:20 > 7:17:24please take your positions in the question room. Here we go.
7:17:24 > 7:17:27I'm going to ask you three. They're multiple choice.
7:17:27 > 7:17:29First set or second set?
7:17:29 > 7:17:31I'm going first like everybody else.
7:17:33 > 7:17:35Eddie, in golf,
7:17:35 > 7:17:41what term is used to describe a player with a handicap of zero?
7:17:42 > 7:17:46Well, I can't imagine too many golfers enjoying
7:17:46 > 7:17:50the last two as a description, so we'll stick with scratch.
7:17:50 > 7:17:53Quite right. First point to you.
7:17:53 > 7:17:55Kevin,
7:17:55 > 7:18:00Avram Grant, who was dismissed as manager of Chelsea football team
7:18:00 > 7:18:04in May 2008, was formerly the coach of which national team?
7:18:08 > 7:18:11Don't think he's ever coached either Denmark or Portugal
7:18:11 > 7:18:13and he is Israeli, so Israel.
7:18:13 > 7:18:15Israel is correct. Well, done.
7:18:16 > 7:18:21Eddie, Christopher Martin-Jenkins is a journalist and commentator
7:18:21 > 7:18:22predominantly on which sport?
7:18:27 > 7:18:33It's on the sport where a member of his family is currently very much involved and that's cricket.
7:18:33 > 7:18:38- What's the member of his family doing? Remind us.- He's a cricketer.
7:18:38 > 7:18:40Oh, you don't say!
7:18:40 > 7:18:43You're right, it's cricket.
7:18:43 > 7:18:49Kevin, in which sporting discipline might one perform a layback spin?
7:18:55 > 7:19:00Oh, dear. Not a term I'm familiar with I'm afraid. I'm sorry...
7:19:00 > 7:19:03Sorry, CJ, if this is wrong, but I'm going for figure skating.
7:19:03 > 7:19:08- You're right.- Oh!- Well, done. Two points apiece. This is so tight.
7:19:08 > 7:19:14Eddie, which horse won the King George VI Chase, the Betfair Chase
7:19:14 > 7:19:16and the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2007?
7:19:22 > 7:19:24I can tell you that the
7:19:24 > 7:19:30replacement of the winner, which was Kauto Star, is Denman this year.
7:19:30 > 7:19:34- Kauto Star is the correct answer. - That's right. Well, done.
7:19:35 > 7:19:37So, Kevin, if you get this wrong,
7:19:37 > 7:19:40the Eggheads are down to one in the final round.
7:19:40 > 7:19:44The 1968 summer Olympic Games saw
7:19:44 > 7:19:47the formal adoption of what type of verification?
7:19:57 > 7:20:01Yes, stating the obvious, but all these things did come in at different times.
7:20:04 > 7:20:12Oh! Sex testing was in by '76, because there's this story about Princess Anne
7:20:12 > 7:20:16being the only one who didn't have to undergo it.
7:20:16 > 7:20:19I'm going to go for sex testing. I'm sorry.
7:20:19 > 7:20:23Sex testing. You are right, Kevin. Well, done.
7:20:25 > 7:20:28Well, after three questions each, the scores are level.
7:20:28 > 7:20:30We now go to sudden death
7:20:30 > 7:20:35and just to make it that bit harder, these questions will not be multiple choice.
7:20:35 > 7:20:38Eddie, what is the name of the adopted footballer's son
7:20:38 > 7:20:42of Ian Wright, who scored his first England goal when he came on as a substitute
7:20:42 > 7:20:46in a match against the Ukraine in August 2004?
7:20:46 > 7:20:51This is the guilty bit of the sudden death where
7:20:51 > 7:20:54the mind goes completely blank.
7:20:54 > 7:20:59I know it's a hyphenated name and the second part of it is Wright.
7:21:01 > 7:21:03Ian Wright-Phillips.
7:21:03 > 7:21:05- Is that your answer?- Yes.
7:21:05 > 7:21:08It's wrong. It's Shaun Wright-Phillips.
7:21:08 > 7:21:11Shaun Wright-Phillips. Sorry.
7:21:11 > 7:21:14Bad luck. That was just a little... what do they call?
7:21:14 > 7:21:15- Verbal...- Digging.
7:21:15 > 7:21:17Infelicity there. OK.
7:21:17 > 7:21:21Kevin, if you get this question right, you've won the head to head.
7:21:21 > 7:21:26Which former England cricket coach published his autobiography
7:21:26 > 7:21:28Behind The Shades in November 2007?
7:21:28 > 7:21:32- Former England cricket coach?- Yeah.
7:21:32 > 7:21:36It may not be, I haven't come across this, but I'm going to have to go for
7:21:36 > 7:21:42Duncan Fletcher on the basis that he was the most-recently evicted person. So Duncan Fletcher.
7:21:42 > 7:21:46The former coach who published his autobiography was Duncan Fletcher.
7:21:46 > 7:21:49- Yes!- Well, done.
7:21:49 > 7:21:50The Eggheads have pulled back.
7:21:50 > 7:21:53Eddie, sorry you were beaten by our Egghead and I know you knew
7:21:53 > 7:21:56- the answer to that question as well. - Yes.
7:21:56 > 7:21:59You won't be able to help your team in the final round.
7:21:59 > 7:22:04So both of you, please come back and rejoin your teams.
7:22:04 > 7:22:07Aother exciting contest. This is what we're playing towards.
7:22:07 > 7:22:10Time for the final round which is general knowledge.
7:22:10 > 7:22:14Those of you who lost your head to heads won't be allowed to take part in this round,
7:22:14 > 7:22:17so Eddie from Amberwould and Judith,
7:22:17 > 7:22:21Daphne and Chris from the Eggheads,
7:22:21 > 7:22:24all three of you on this side, please leave the studio.
7:22:24 > 7:22:27Marlene, John, Christopher and Nick,
7:22:27 > 7:22:30you are playing to win Amberwould £13,000.
7:22:30 > 7:22:32Kevin and CJ, you are playing for
7:22:32 > 7:22:36something which money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
7:22:36 > 7:22:40Now, as usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
7:22:40 > 7:22:42The questions are all general knowledge.
7:22:42 > 7:22:44You may confer, you'll be pleased to hear.
7:22:44 > 7:22:49And, Amberwould, the question is, are your four brains better than
7:22:49 > 7:22:54the Eggheads' two? Amberwould, first or second set of questions?
7:22:54 > 7:22:56- We'll go first? - Stick with first?- Yes.
7:22:56 > 7:23:01- Yes.- We'll stick with first, Jeremy. - So, challengers, your first question.
7:23:01 > 7:23:04What name has been given to the financial crisis in
7:23:04 > 7:23:08America that has led to some reduction in the availability
7:23:08 > 7:23:13of loans and an increase in the cost of obtaining a loan?
7:23:18 > 7:23:20I'm sure that's the credit crunch.
7:23:20 > 7:23:22- I agree.- My credit is being throttled.
7:23:22 > 7:23:26We all agreed on the credit crunch there.
7:23:26 > 7:23:30Credit crunch is right, which we're all painfully aware of.
7:23:30 > 7:23:32Your first question, Eggheads.
7:23:32 > 7:23:36Hitachi and Kawasaki are cities in which country?
7:23:40 > 7:23:43Hitachi and Kawasaki are cities in which country?
7:23:43 > 7:23:46- They're in Japan, Jeremy.- They are indeed. You're quite right.
7:23:48 > 7:23:50Question two, Amberwould.
7:23:50 > 7:23:57In 2007, Modbury in Devon became the first town in Britain to ban what?
7:24:02 > 7:24:05I can't believe it was television!
7:24:05 > 7:24:09There'd be a riot. Erm, I don't think anyone would successfully
7:24:09 > 7:24:11ban swearing, would they?
7:24:11 > 7:24:13- No.- We'll go with plastic bags.
7:24:13 > 7:24:15Plastic bags is your answer.
7:24:15 > 7:24:17Absolutely right. Well, done.
7:24:19 > 7:24:23Keeping the pressure on you, Eggheads, and a lot of money at stake here.
7:24:23 > 7:24:27Who directed the 2008 documentary on The Rolling Stones, Shine A Light?
7:24:33 > 7:24:35That was Martin Scorsese.
7:24:35 > 7:24:38Without a shiver of hesitation.
7:24:38 > 7:24:42Because it's recent or that's the kind of thing you happen to know?
7:24:42 > 7:24:44It's something he's been planning for a long time.
7:24:44 > 7:24:49It's taken him a lot of years to get around to actually doing it and finally it's here.
7:24:49 > 7:24:50You're correct. Martin Scorsese.
7:24:50 > 7:24:53Third multiple choice question for you, Amberwould.
7:24:53 > 7:24:59Which magazine was founded in 1843 by the Scotsman James Wilson as a
7:24:59 > 7:25:03voice against grain import tariffs?
7:25:07 > 7:25:09- Well...- Chris, I think you know this.
7:25:09 > 7:25:12The Spectator is much older than that.
7:25:12 > 7:25:15The New Statesman, I think, is younger than that.
7:25:15 > 7:25:18The Economist does deal chiefly with economics and
7:25:18 > 7:25:24free trade is very much an economic matter to the fore in 1843,
7:25:24 > 7:25:28the time just before the repeal of the Corn Laws, so my guess...
7:25:28 > 7:25:31but I don't know for certain... would be The Economist.
7:25:31 > 7:25:34- Will we go with Chris? - We're not worthy.
7:25:34 > 7:25:39You're bowing down to Christopher here. That was a very well-argued answer.
7:25:39 > 7:25:41- Hopefully. - And it's the right answer.
7:25:41 > 7:25:43Oh, brilliant.
7:25:43 > 7:25:49Eggheads, if you get this answer wrong, Amberwould have won £13,000
7:25:49 > 7:25:54and you've lost a little chunk of your precious reputation.
7:25:54 > 7:25:57Which tough-tackling Liverpool footballer
7:25:57 > 7:26:00was nicknamed Anfield Iron?
7:26:05 > 7:26:10Which tough-tackling Liverpool footballer was nicknamed Anfield Iron?
7:26:10 > 7:26:13The most likely to me seems to be Tommy Smith,
7:26:13 > 7:26:17despite the fact the others could both get stuck in and did get stuck in.
7:26:17 > 7:26:20- Well, I don't want to influence you in any way...- Yes.
7:26:20 > 7:26:25- But if it was playing by myself... again, I haven't heard it... but I would go for Smith.- Yeah.
7:26:25 > 7:26:27- Myself.- Yeah, Tommy Smith.
7:26:27 > 7:26:29Tommy Smith is correct.
7:26:29 > 7:26:33So after three questions each, the scores are level.
7:26:33 > 7:26:37We will now go to sudden death and, remember, to make it that bit harder,
7:26:37 > 7:26:41- these questions are not multiple choice. Are you ready, Amberwould?- Yes.
7:26:41 > 7:26:44It could all end in an instant, for better or worse.
7:26:44 > 7:26:46We've seen that a lot lately.
7:26:46 > 7:26:52Who directed the ground-breaking 1903 film The Great Train Robbery?
7:26:52 > 7:26:54- I haven't a clue.- Oh, no!
7:26:56 > 7:27:01- 1903? Who was about in 1903?- I didn't know they made films in 1903.
7:27:01 > 7:27:06- Eisenstein wouldn't have done The Great Train Robbery.- I don't know any directors from then.
7:27:06 > 7:27:10- That's a bit later anyway. - Is De Millle too late?- Charlie Chaplin?
7:27:10 > 7:27:121903? When was Chaplin about?
7:27:12 > 7:27:15Chaplin would have been young then. He was a young man...
7:27:15 > 7:27:19- He'd have been in it, rather than directing.- Who did you say?
7:27:19 > 7:27:22Well, Eisenstein, Sergei Eisenstein.
7:27:22 > 7:27:24He's the only one I know.
7:27:24 > 7:27:27We can't offer anything, Nick, so if you've got a
7:27:27 > 7:27:29glimpse of an answer, then say it.
7:27:29 > 7:27:31The only one we can think of,
7:27:31 > 7:27:34futilely, is Sergei Eisenstein.
7:27:34 > 7:27:38Sergei Eisenstein is the wrong answer.
7:27:38 > 7:27:40Do you know the correct answer, Eggheads?
7:27:40 > 7:27:44Yeah, he's not really known that much for anything else.
7:27:44 > 7:27:49This is touted as the first Western and the director's name was Edwin S Porter.
7:27:49 > 7:27:52That's the right answer, Edwin S Porter.
7:27:52 > 7:27:54But don't flee in panic just yet.
7:27:54 > 7:27:56It's not over.
7:27:56 > 7:28:01Eggheads, to win the contest,
7:28:01 > 7:28:04Inquiry Into The Nature And Causes Of The Wealth Of Nations
7:28:04 > 7:28:08is an 18th-century book by which pioneering economist,
7:28:08 > 7:28:10a man often referred to as the
7:28:10 > 7:28:13founder of modern economics?
7:28:13 > 7:28:17- That would be Adam Smith.- Yep, and now on the £20 note. Adam Smith.
7:28:17 > 7:28:19- Is that your answer?- Yep. - It is.
7:28:19 > 7:28:21It is the correct answer.
7:28:21 > 7:28:23Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.
7:28:28 > 7:28:30Commiserations, challengers.
7:28:30 > 7:28:33The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
7:28:33 > 7:28:35You gave them a real run for their money.
7:28:35 > 7:28:38Their winning streak does continue.
7:28:38 > 7:28:40You won't go home with the £13,000,
7:28:40 > 7:28:45which means that the money, our own wealth of nations, rolls over to the next show.
7:28:45 > 7:28:46Eggheads, congratulations.
7:28:46 > 7:28:53Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
7:28:53 > 7:28:56£14,000 says they don't.
7:28:56 > 7:28:58Until then, goodbye.
