These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:12

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:120:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:20

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:230:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:30

You might recognise them as they've won some

0:00:300:00:33

of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.

0:00:330:00:37

Challenging our resident quiz champions today

0:00:370:00:40

are Oscar Lives. The team are all teachers

0:00:400:00:42

at various schools and colleges across the Midlands

0:00:420:00:46

and are named after team captain David's sadly deceased cat, Oscar.

0:00:460:00:51

Let's meet them.

0:00:510:00:53

Hello. I'm David, I'm 49 and I'm a vice principal

0:00:530:00:56

at a community college.

0:00:560:00:58

Hi. I'm Andrew, I'm 46 and I'm a teacher.

0:00:580:01:02

Hello. My name's Pam. I'm 49 and I'm an infant school head teacher.

0:01:020:01:07

Hello. I'm Dave, I'm 55 and I'm a director of drama.

0:01:070:01:12

Hello. I'm Graeme, I'm 55 and I'm a pastoral manager.

0:01:120:01:17

-You obviously miss Oscar, David?

-Terribly. I'm still in therapy.

0:01:170:01:20

Now you have watched Casablanca how many times?

0:01:200:01:25

About 10, maybe 15, maybe 20 times. I don't know how many.

0:01:250:01:29

I know Casablanca comes up sometimes in quizzes,

0:01:290:01:32

so what is the key Casablanca question?

0:01:320:01:35

I think it would be,

0:01:350:01:36

"What does Claude Rains throw into the bin at the end of the film?"

0:01:360:01:39

What does Claude Rains through into the bin at the end? Any of you?

0:01:390:01:43

-Never seen it.

-You don't know!

-No.

0:01:430:01:47

-What is it?

-It's a bottle of Vichy water. Symbolic...

0:01:470:01:50

Ah, yes. He's turning his back on the Vichy regime.

0:01:500:01:53

-That's going off with Rick, yeah.

-I'll tell you what,

0:01:530:01:55

good start! Keep it going. Every day there's £1,000

0:01:550:01:59

worth of cash for our challengers. However, if they fail

0:01:590:02:02

to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:020:02:05

So, Oscar Lives, the Eggheads have won the last 13 games,

0:02:050:02:11

which means £14,000 says you can't beat them.

0:02:110:02:15

The first head-to-head will be on Geography.

0:02:150:02:18

Challengers,

0:02:180:02:19

you can decide who takes this and who you play against.

0:02:190:02:22

Thank you. Well we're all equally the same at Geography

0:02:220:02:26

but some of us are more equal than others,

0:02:260:02:30

and Dave is the man.

0:02:300:02:31

-Are you sure?

-Absolutely.

0:02:310:02:32

OK. We'll go with that.

0:02:320:02:34

OK, Dave, who do you want to play?

0:02:340:02:36

Anyone not called Daphne on Geography, cos she's brilliant.

0:02:360:02:39

Erm...

0:02:390:02:40

Go...

0:02:400:02:43

..with CJ.

0:02:440:02:45

The questions will get harder!

0:02:450:02:47

This is a corporate decision and we'll go with CJ.

0:02:480:02:53

OK. It's Dave from Oscar Lives against CJ from the Eggheads,

0:02:540:02:57

and to ensure there's no conferring, would you please

0:02:570:03:00

take your positions in the question room?

0:03:000:03:03

Dave, it's you against CJ.

0:03:040:03:07

I'll ask you each three multiple choice questions on Geography.

0:03:070:03:10

Whoever answers the most is the winner,

0:03:100:03:13

-and Dave you can choose the first or the second set.

-I'll go first.

0:03:130:03:17

What is the capital of Belgium?

0:03:190:03:22

I'm fairly happy with it not being Ostend. That's a nice ferry port.

0:03:270:03:31

There may be some regional difficulties.

0:03:330:03:35

I will go with Brussels.

0:03:350:03:37

-Brussels is your answer?

-It is.

0:03:370:03:39

You're right. Well done. CJ,

0:03:390:03:42

which island group comprises the northernmost extremity of the UK?

0:03:420:03:46

The Scilly Islands are off the western coast of Cornwall,

0:03:520:03:55

and the Faroe Islands aren't anything to do

0:03:550:03:57

with the British Isles, and the Shetland Islands are way up north.

0:03:570:04:01

I think the most northerly land is "Muckle Fugger" or something.

0:04:010:04:06

It is the Shetland Islands.

0:04:060:04:08

You're right. Well done. One each.

0:04:080:04:11

Dave,

0:04:110:04:12

here's your next question...

0:04:120:04:14

Linate and Malpensa airports serve which European city?

0:04:140:04:18

Well, there's a fairly big French politician

0:04:250:04:29

who has the main airport in Paris.

0:04:290:04:32

The words don't sound Greek, so I'll go for Milan.

0:04:320:04:36

Is that a guess, or logic?

0:04:370:04:39

There's an element of logic.

0:04:390:04:41

And it's right as well. Well done. Milan.

0:04:410:04:44

Two-one.

0:04:440:04:46

CJ, Guadalcanal is the largest island in which group?

0:04:460:04:50

It's in the Solomon Islands.

0:04:550:04:57

In the Solomon Islands, you say?

0:04:570:04:59

-It is.

-Why do you say that so quietly?

0:04:590:05:02

Just in case I'm wrong but I'm fairly sure it's right.

0:05:020:05:05

What, you mean if you're wrong, you can pretend you didn't say?

0:05:050:05:09

"Where did you get that? Nothing to do with me!"

0:05:090:05:11

You're right. It's the Solomon Islands. Well done.

0:05:110:05:13

Two points each.

0:05:130:05:16

If you get this, you'll put real pressure on the Eggheads.

0:05:160:05:20

What is the longest freshwater lake in the world?

0:05:200:05:22

Well, Lake Superior is bigger than Lake Michigan,

0:05:280:05:33

so we can get rid of that one.

0:05:330:05:35

I'm torn between the other two, to be fair.

0:05:350:05:39

I think in...

0:05:390:05:42

..Russian Asia, I think Lake Baikal is the biggest lake.

0:05:450:05:49

The longest freshwater lake in the world...?

0:05:490:05:52

It's certainly an inland lake. Lake Baikal.

0:05:520:05:55

-Is that your answer?

-It is.

0:05:550:05:58

-Is he right, Eggheads?

-It's the biggest lake.

0:05:580:06:02

The longest freshwater lake...

0:06:020:06:03

If it's the longest... It's the biggest.

0:06:030:06:06

Tanganyika we'd have gone for.

0:06:060:06:07

-Baikal's the biggest in area.

-Because it's round.

0:06:070:06:10

Tanganyika is the longest. It's long and narrow.

0:06:100:06:12

I'm afraid, Dave, he's right. Tanganyika is the longest.

0:06:120:06:16

You're wrong. CJ, for the round...

0:06:160:06:20

What is the approximate depth of the deepest point of the Mariana Trench,

0:06:200:06:24

the deepest known ocean depth?

0:06:240:06:26

I think the actual deepest point is 36,201 feet,

0:06:310:06:35

so out of those three options, I'll go for 36,000.

0:06:350:06:38

You wouldn't be showing off by any chance?

0:06:380:06:40

I certainly would be, yes.

0:06:400:06:42

You're right, CJ.

0:06:420:06:45

Brilliantly answered.

0:06:450:06:46

So, Dave, you were beaten

0:06:460:06:48

by our Egghead. It happens.

0:06:480:06:50

As a result, you won't be able to help in the Final Round.

0:06:500:06:53

Would you both please rejoin your team-mates.

0:06:530:06:56

So, the challengers have lost one brain

0:06:570:07:00

from the Final Round while the Eggheads have lost none.

0:07:000:07:04

The next subject is Arts and Books.

0:07:040:07:07

Which one of you teachers fancies this and against who?

0:07:070:07:10

-Shall we toss?

-I don't mind. I'll do it.

0:07:120:07:15

-OK. It's gonna be Pam.

-It's gonna be Pam?

0:07:150:07:18

-Dave, this would have been your category?

-Yeah.

-Head of Drama?

0:07:180:07:21

-Never mind.

-OK, Pam, who do you wanna play?

0:07:210:07:23

We should take Chris on this one.

0:07:230:07:25

OK, then. I'll take Arts and Books and I'll play Chris.

0:07:250:07:29

Right, Pam from Oscar Lives against Chris from the Eggheads.

0:07:290:07:33

To ensure there's no conferring,

0:07:330:07:35

please take your positions in the question room.

0:07:350:07:38

I'll ask you three questions on Arts and Books.

0:07:390:07:41

Pam, would you like the first set or the second set?

0:07:410:07:44

I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.

0:07:440:07:46

What name is given to a portrait of a person in profile

0:07:500:07:53

which shows the outline only

0:07:530:07:55

and is usually a cut out of black paper on a white background?

0:07:550:07:59

Well, I do think I know the answer to this one. I think it's silhouette.

0:08:040:08:07

Absolutely right. Well done. First point to you.

0:08:070:08:10

APPLAUSE

0:08:100:08:13

Chris, your first question.

0:08:130:08:14

What word is used for the rhythm of a piece of poetry

0:08:140:08:18

and is determined by the number and length of feet in a line?

0:08:180:08:22

That is the metre.

0:08:250:08:27

Quite right.

0:08:270:08:29

Pam, in what century was the artist Botticelli born?

0:08:290:08:33

OK...

0:08:380:08:39

Now, I was hoping it was going to be more literature than art,

0:08:390:08:43

but I will hazard a guess.

0:08:430:08:45

Let me see. Botticelli.

0:08:450:08:47

I will take a guess at the 15th century.

0:08:500:08:54

-The 15th century, you say?

-Yes.

-Can any Eggheads name the year?

0:08:540:09:00

Actually, you see different, erm...

0:09:000:09:02

It's one of those things where the records are not entirely set,

0:09:020:09:05

but it's usually either 1444 or '45.

0:09:050:09:08

1444 or 1445? Yes, it's... Yeah, I've got 1445.

0:09:080:09:13

Changes in the calendar as well - that affects it, so...

0:09:130:09:16

The main thing is you're right, Pam.

0:09:160:09:18

Well done.

0:09:180:09:19

CHALLENGERS CLAP

0:09:190:09:21

Chris, My Uncle Silas is a book of short stories by which author?

0:09:210:09:26

Well, Stella Gibbons wrote Cold Comfort Farm

0:09:310:09:34

and not a whole lot else.

0:09:340:09:36

Laurie Lee tended to write autobiographies

0:09:360:09:39

like Cider With Rosie and his experiences in the Spanish Civil War,

0:09:390:09:43

but a prolific writer of short stories was HE Bates,

0:09:430:09:46

so that's the one I have to go with.

0:09:460:09:48

Spot on. Well done.

0:09:480:09:51

Two points apiece.

0:09:510:09:52

Pam...

0:09:520:09:53

put some pressure on him by getting this right.

0:09:530:09:56

Which playwright's works include A Day In The Death Of Joe Egg

0:09:560:10:00

and Privates on Parade?

0:10:000:10:02

Well, something in the back of my mind

0:10:080:10:10

tells me this might be Joe Orton.

0:10:100:10:12

I'm not 100%, but that's my guess.

0:10:120:10:15

-Joe Orton.

-That's your answer, is it?

0:10:150:10:17

Yeah.

0:10:170:10:19

You're wrong. It's Peter Nichols.

0:10:190:10:22

And I sensed at least one team-mate knew that.

0:10:220:10:26

For the round, Chris...

0:10:260:10:29

Sal Paradise is the main character

0:10:290:10:33

in which influential American novel first published in 1957?

0:10:330:10:37

Well, it's not Lolita, because she was Dolores Haze.

0:10:410:10:46

On The Road's Jack Kerouac,

0:10:490:10:50

and autobiographical again, so I don't think it's On The Road,

0:10:500:10:54

so it must be Burroughs' Naked Lunch.

0:10:540:10:57

You're wrong!

0:10:580:11:00

-It's On The Road.

-Oh.

0:11:000:11:03

Pam, you're still in. After three questions,

0:11:030:11:05

the scores are level. We go now to sudden death and just to make it

0:11:050:11:09

that bit harder, these questions are not multiple choice.

0:11:090:11:12

-Pam, here we go. Are you ready?

-I am.

0:11:120:11:14

When asked what his plays were about, which English playwright

0:11:140:11:18

born in London in 1930 replied, "the weasel under the cocktail cabinet"?

0:11:180:11:24

I have heard this quotation before.

0:11:240:11:27

But I'm sorry, I can't bring it to mind.

0:11:300:11:34

No. I think I'm going to have to pass, I'm afraid, on that one.

0:11:380:11:41

OK. It's Harold Pinter.

0:11:410:11:44

Chris, Charles Darnay

0:11:450:11:48

and Sydney Carton are characters in which Charles Dickens' novel?

0:11:480:11:52

Erm, in A Tale of Two Cities.

0:11:520:11:54

-Quite right.

-"It's a far, far better thing I do now than I've ever done".

0:11:540:11:59

Well done, Chris. You won the round. Pam, you were beaten by our Egghead.

0:11:590:12:03

You won't be able to help your team in the Final Round.

0:12:030:12:06

Would you both please come back and rejoin your team-mates?

0:12:060:12:10

The challengers have lost two brains from the Final Round.

0:12:120:12:16

The Eggheads have lost none.

0:12:160:12:17

The next subject is Music, everybody, Music.

0:12:170:12:20

Now which of you wants to take this on, and who do you want to play?

0:12:200:12:24

RECITES: Music is my first love And it will be my last

0:12:240:12:28

-Music is the...

-Really?

0:12:280:12:29

You're doing it.

0:12:290:12:30

-Marvellous! It's me.

-You're up for this.

0:12:300:12:33

Who do you want to play against?

0:12:330:12:34

-Judith...

-I don't know. It looks like three for Judith,

0:12:340:12:37

so I'll go with that.

0:12:370:12:38

So Andrew from Oscar Lives against Judith from the Eggheads.

0:12:380:12:42

Please take your positions in the question room.

0:12:420:12:45

I'll ask each of you three questions on music.

0:12:470:12:49

Andrew, would you like the first or second set?

0:12:490:12:52

I'd kind of like to get it over with, please, Jeremy.

0:12:520:12:55

Andrew,

0:12:570:12:58

"In the town where I was born Lived a man who sailed to sea"

0:12:580:13:01

are the opening lines of which Beatles song?

0:13:010:13:04

Well, I do know. I lived in Liverpool for a while,

0:13:090:13:12

so I should know. I'm gonna go for Yellow Submarine.

0:13:120:13:16

Yes, I had a sudden moment thinking, "Is that right?"

0:13:160:13:19

but it is Yellow Submarine. Well done. First point to you.

0:13:190:13:24

Judith, The Rain In Spain and Ascot Gavotte

0:13:240:13:27

are songs from which musical?

0:13:270:13:29

I think that might be... I KNOW that is My Fair Lady,

0:13:330:13:37

with conviction, Jeremy.

0:13:370:13:39

My Fair Lady, with conviction. You are right. Well done, Judith.

0:13:390:13:43

Totally convinced.

0:13:430:13:44

Andrew, which composer's fifth piano concerto is known as The Emperor?

0:13:450:13:52

I don't know.

0:13:560:13:59

Really not very clued-up on classical music,

0:13:590:14:02

which is obviously a great thing for the Eggheads.

0:14:020:14:05

-What do you teach, Andrew?

-Mathematics, mostly.

0:14:050:14:08

-Which they say is very linked to music.

-Yeah, they do.

0:14:080:14:11

I just don't know. Erm...

0:14:110:14:14

Beethoven's Fifth is obviously one of the most famous

0:14:140:14:18

of all those bits of old stuff that you do hear playing around,

0:14:180:14:22

but I haven't actually heard it called that.

0:14:220:14:25

Erm...

0:14:250:14:28

Mozart I suppose could have been hanging around with an emperor.

0:14:280:14:32

He's that kind of court kind of person, wasn't he?

0:14:320:14:34

Erm, Brahms...

0:14:340:14:38

Not ringing any bells. I'm gonna go middle Mozart.

0:14:400:14:43

No, it was Beethoven.

0:14:450:14:46

-Ah!

-His fifth piano concerto is known as The Emperor.

0:14:460:14:50

I should listen more often.

0:14:500:14:52

Judith, the official 2008 Sport Relief single Footprints In The Sand

0:14:530:14:58

is a recording by which singer?

0:14:580:15:01

Well, I would bet on either Leona Lewis or Lee Mead.

0:15:040:15:08

I think probably Leona Lewis.

0:15:100:15:11

She's very much flavour of the month, isn't she?

0:15:110:15:14

-That is...

-Can you remove the question mark?

0:15:140:15:17

-No, I can't, not this time!

-That's your answer, Leona Lewis?

-Yes.

0:15:170:15:21

It's right. Well done. You take the lead.

0:15:210:15:24

You need this, Andrew,

0:15:240:15:26

or you're out of the Final Round.

Starz In Their Eyes was a UK Top Ten hit single in 2007 for which singer?

0:15:290:15:34

If I listened to the children at school a bit more often

0:15:430:15:46

I might know this sort of thing.

0:15:460:15:48

I suppose I should.

0:15:480:15:50

Erm... Can you tell me what the track is called again, please?

0:15:500:15:54

Yeah. Starz In Their Eyes, and Starz is spelt S-T-A-R-Z In Their Eyes.

0:15:540:15:59

UK Top Ten hit single in 2007 for which singer?

0:15:590:16:01

James Morrison sort of warbles.

0:16:010:16:03

And Mika's a bit kind of high-pitchy, and I don't know anything

0:16:030:16:07

about Just Jack. For that reason, I'll choose that.

0:16:070:16:10

Just Jack, sounds like somebody that might spell a song with a Z

0:16:100:16:13

when they oughtn't.

0:16:130:16:14

-Just Jack?

-Mmm.

0:16:160:16:17

-You're absolutely right!

-Well done.

0:16:170:16:20

By elimination, you got it.

0:16:200:16:23

Judith, the medieval instrument called the "rebec"

0:16:230:16:26

belonged to which family of instruments?

0:16:260:16:29

If you get this, you've got the round.

0:16:290:16:31

-Is it R-E-B-E-C?

-It is.

0:16:340:16:37

That actually doesn't help me much.

0:16:380:16:41

-It was a good guess.

-I'm terribly bad about medieval instruments.

0:16:410:16:44

Rebec. There's something in my mind thought

0:16:440:16:48

it might be an early kind of recorder,

0:16:480:16:51

so... I'm gonna say woodwind.

0:16:510:16:55

-Woodwind is wrong.

-Oh. String.

-It's a string instrument.

0:16:560:17:00

-It's like...

-Daphne, what does it look like?

0:17:000:17:03

-It's an early violin.

-You hold it on your shoulder?

0:17:030:17:06

-It's a violin, sort of very early.

-It's got a bow?

-Yes.

0:17:060:17:09

-Now we know! Well done, Andrew. You're still in it.

0:17:090:17:12

-Lucky!

-After three questions on multiple choice,

0:17:120:17:15

with the scores level, we go to sudden death

0:17:150:17:18

and to make it that bit harder, these are not multiple choice.

0:17:180:17:21

During the Live Aid concerts in 1985, Andrew,

0:17:210:17:24

who performed in Wembley Stadium and then flew by Concorde

0:17:240:17:29

to play in Philadelphia's JFK Stadium later the same day?

0:17:290:17:32

Well, I really ought to know that.

0:17:350:17:37

I've got several names flooding through my head at the moment,

0:17:370:17:40

and none of them really appearing in both venues.

0:17:400:17:45

Erm...

0:17:460:17:48

I'm probably gonna have to plump for Phil Collins.

0:17:490:17:53

I really hope, rest of the team, that's not letting you down.

0:17:530:17:57

Yeah. I can tell you, when you said "Phil Collins",

0:17:570:17:59

at least three members of your team punched the air.

0:17:590:18:02

-Oh really!

-With delight, not with anger,

0:18:020:18:04

because he's right, isn't he, teachers?

0:18:040:18:07

-He is right.

-Well done.

-What a relief, excellent!

0:18:070:18:09

So, Judith. Pressure on you, now.

0:18:120:18:15

Timothy Z Moseley

0:18:150:18:17

is the real name of which American record producer, rapper and singer?

0:18:170:18:23

It's not Eminem, which is about the only one I can think of.

0:18:230:18:26

Erm...

0:18:260:18:29

There's somebody...

0:18:290:18:31

with "Zee" in their name. Erm...

0:18:310:18:34

I've absolutely no idea. I really haven't a clue.

0:18:360:18:39

I don't know a thing about...rappers.

0:18:390:18:44

Right. So you're not gonna answer on principle?

0:18:440:18:47

Well, is there somebody called Jay-Z, or something?

0:18:470:18:50

-Is that your answer?

-Well, yes, it will have to be.

0:18:500:18:52

-I have to invent it.

-All right. We'll take that.

0:18:520:18:55

Daphne, you wanted to say you know,

0:18:550:18:58

so let's just have a great Egghead moment here. Go on.

0:18:580:19:00

-Timbaland.

-Timbaland is the right answer, yes.

-Oh!

0:19:000:19:05

You're at home listening to all his albums, Daphne, every night.

0:19:050:19:10

I thought he was Timberlake.

0:19:100:19:11

-Different person.

-Different person, I'm told.

-Really?

0:19:110:19:14

That's Justin Timberlake.

0:19:140:19:16

Oh, Justin... Different from Timbaland?

0:19:160:19:18

We could spend the rest of our lives on this conversation, Judith.

0:19:180:19:21

Well done, Andrew.

0:19:210:19:23

You took an Egghead and emerged triumphant.

0:19:230:19:25

Great news for our challengers, after a difficult streak. Well done.

0:19:250:19:29

So, Andrew, you will play in today's Final Round.

0:19:290:19:32

Congratulations. Both of you, please join your teams.

0:19:320:19:35

The challengers have lost two brains from the Final Round,

0:19:370:19:41

while the Eggheads have lost one. Our last subject is Sport.

0:19:410:19:44

Which one of you wants Sport and which Egghead?

0:19:450:19:48

I think it might be me!

0:19:480:19:49

The answer is, nobody really wants Sport, particularly,

0:19:490:19:53

but it's gonna be Graeme.

0:19:530:19:54

Graeme, who do you wanna play?

0:19:540:19:57

Either Kevin or Daphne.

0:19:570:20:00

They've both probably memorised everything that's ever happened...

0:20:000:20:04

-They have but sometimes they forget.

-We're gonna go Kevin.

0:20:040:20:08

-Kevin, OK...

-No, he's major on Sport.

0:20:080:20:13

-Daphne.

-Daphne.

0:20:130:20:14

He's brilliant and she's absolutely brilliant!

0:20:140:20:17

Well, I know. I'd be delighted to beat either.

0:20:170:20:20

Daphne it is, then. I'm really sorry, Kevin, but it's Daphne.

0:20:200:20:23

OK, so it's Graeme against Daphne. Graeme from Oscar Lives

0:20:230:20:27

versus Daphne from the Eggheads. Please go to the question room now.

0:20:270:20:30

I'll ask you three questions on Sport.

0:20:320:20:33

-Graeme, you can choose first or second set.

-I'll go first, please.

0:20:330:20:38

Die-hard fans of which football club are known as Kopites?

0:20:400:20:45

Die hard fans of which football club are known as Kopites?

0:20:480:20:51

Arsenal are the Gunners,

0:20:510:20:53

I believe Manchester United are the Red Devils,

0:20:530:20:55

so that would lead me to Liverpool.

0:20:550:20:57

Bang on. After the Kop. Well done.

0:20:570:21:00

CHALLENGERS CLAP

0:21:000:21:01

Daphne, in the game of tennis,

0:21:010:21:03

what is another name for an overhead shot

0:21:030:21:06

played during a rally?

0:21:060:21:07

That would be a smash.

0:21:120:21:14

It is indeed.

0:21:140:21:17

Second question for you, Graeme.

0:21:170:21:19

The ill-tempered 1999 Ryder Cup match

0:21:190:21:23

took place on which golf course?

0:21:230:21:25

It was held in England and not Scotland,

0:21:320:21:35

so I'll go for The Belfry.

0:21:350:21:36

It's the wrong answer. It's Brookline.

0:21:370:21:40

-It's Brookline.

-Which is where?

-What was the bad temper about?

0:21:400:21:43

Massachusetts in America, and...

0:21:430:21:45

It was the one where on the final hole the Americans putted

0:21:450:21:48

the final shot and they all ran on to the green, cheering and celebrating,

0:21:480:21:52

not realising the Europeans still had a putt to half the tournament.

0:21:520:21:55

A lot of acrimony in it.

0:21:550:21:57

OK. Bad luck there, Graeme. Daphne, how often is the Vendee Globe

0:21:570:22:01

single-handed round-the-world yacht race held?

0:22:010:22:04

Well, it's certainly not annually.

0:22:090:22:11

Erm, I really...

0:22:150:22:17

I haven't got...

0:22:170:22:19

Oh, dear!

0:22:220:22:24

Well, I'm just gonna have to guess, Jeremy.

0:22:240:22:29

Every four years. Sorry!

0:22:290:22:32

No sorry, it's a great guess. You're right, well done.

0:22:320:22:36

-Phew!

-So you're in the lead and that means Graeme,

0:22:360:22:39

you need this.

0:22:390:22:40

What is the nationality

0:22:400:22:42

of the Olympic gold medal-winning javelin thrower Jan Zelezny?

0:22:420:22:45

I think he's on the Olympic Committee now and I would say he's Czech.

0:22:490:22:53

-Czech is your answer?

-Yes.

-It's right. Great answer.

0:22:530:22:56

Daphne, here we go.

0:22:580:22:59

Can you win the round?

0:22:590:23:01

In international artistic gymnastics competition, the floor exercise

0:23:010:23:05

is performed on a matted area of how many square metres?

0:23:050:23:09

Before it came up, I immediately thought of 12,

0:23:120:23:18

but I thought that was feet, but I'm gonna stick with it and go for 12.

0:23:180:23:22

Your answer is 12?

0:23:220:23:24

-It is 12 square metres.

-Is it?! Oh, thank you!

0:23:240:23:28

Brilliant answer! Brilliant play in this round by you,

0:23:280:23:31

well done, and Graeme, you were beaten by our Egghead,

0:23:310:23:35

so as a result, you won't be able to help your team in the Final Round.

0:23:350:23:38

Both of you please come back now and rejoin your team-mates.

0:23:380:23:42

This is what we've been playing towards.

0:23:430:23:45

It's the Final Round, which, as always is General Knowledge,

0:23:450:23:48

but I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads

0:23:480:23:51

won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:23:510:23:54

Pam, Dave and Graeme from Oscar Lives

0:23:540:23:56

and Judith from the Eggheads,

0:23:560:23:59

would you please now leave the studio?

0:23:590:24:01

David and Andrew, you're playing to win Oscar Lives £14,000.

0:24:030:24:08

Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris

0:24:080:24:11

you are playing for something which money can't buy -

0:24:110:24:13

the Eggheads' reputation.

0:24:130:24:15

Now as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:24:150:24:18

This time the questions are General Knowledge

0:24:180:24:21

and you are allowed to confer.

0:24:210:24:23

Oscar Lives, the question is,

0:24:230:24:25

are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:24:250:24:29

David and Andrew, would you like the first or second set of questions?

0:24:290:24:33

-What do you reckon?

-Well, we've been doing unluckily in first,

0:24:330:24:38

so we're going to go for first.

0:24:380:24:40

First. You threw me there.

0:24:420:24:44

-You want the first set of questions?

-I was being ironic, sorry.

0:24:440:24:47

-He's awkward, isn't he?

-OK.

0:24:470:24:49

-I'm trying to follow the logic.

-Why break up a losing combination?

0:24:490:24:52

Historically, the heir to the throne of which country

0:24:520:24:55

had a title that translates into English as Dolphin?

0:24:550:25:00

Well, we've had a Belgian question already tonight,

0:25:020:25:05

which I'd prefer here.

0:25:050:25:07

-Spanish...

-Really?

0:25:070:25:09

-Waffle...?

-I'm waffling here, erm, but Dauphin is the heir to the throne

0:25:090:25:14

-of France, so it's France.

-France is right. Well done.

0:25:140:25:17

Eggheads, what colour eyes do all Siamese cats have,

0:25:210:25:24

regardless of the colour of their coat?

0:25:240:25:26

-Blue.

-Everybody happy with that?

0:25:300:25:33

They have blue eyes, Jeremy.

0:25:330:25:35

It is blue, you're right. Well done. They're all blue-eyed.

0:25:350:25:38

Level. Second question.

0:25:380:25:40

In which TV drama series first shown in 2008 did Michelle Collins

0:25:400:25:46

play Karina Faith, a successful music industry figure?

0:25:460:25:49

Well, Ashes To Ashes was the time travel one with Keeley Hawes.

0:25:540:25:59

Echo Beach was, erm...

0:25:590:26:02

Erm, Jason Donovan, who isn't a lady,

0:26:020:26:06

but it is...Rock Rivals.

0:26:060:26:10

It is Rock Rivals. Well done. You're ahead.

0:26:100:26:13

Eggheads, the term hussar for a light cavalryman

0:26:150:26:20

originated in which country in the 15th century?

0:26:200:26:23

I believe that was Hungary, Jeremy.

0:26:250:26:29

I believe it was. You're right. Well done. Hungary is correct.

0:26:290:26:33

So, you really need this

0:26:330:26:35

to put the pressure on them.

0:26:350:26:39

What name is given to a hotel in Spain that is owned

0:26:390:26:42

and administered by the government?

0:26:420:26:45

-Been in one?

-I have been in a Spanish hotel, but, erm...

0:26:500:26:55

Well I was, when I was 9, I think, so...

0:26:550:26:57

I didn't pay much attention to what it said on the door!

0:26:570:27:00

Erm... I'm afraid this is probably gonna have to be a guess, isn't it?

0:27:000:27:05

Well they do have pensions...

0:27:050:27:06

They do have pensions, but they have pensions and...

0:27:060:27:09

Paraguas sounds like it's to do with water, to me.

0:27:090:27:12

-Well, we'll disregard paraguas.

-Parador?

0:27:120:27:16

So it's either parador or pension?

0:27:160:27:18

Sounds... I'd have to go for the middle one

0:27:180:27:22

cos it's the only one that would have anything to do...

0:27:220:27:25

We're both very close to our pension, so we'll go for pension.

0:27:250:27:28

You're going for pension?

0:27:280:27:29

It's the wrong answer. It's parador.

0:27:300:27:34

Eggheads, this for the contest.

0:27:340:27:37

Who directed the 1981 film Escape To Victory,

0:27:370:27:41

in which Pele, Bobby Moore and a host of other football players

0:27:410:27:45

act alongside Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone?

0:27:450:27:49

I've actually seen that film.

0:27:540:27:57

-I've actually seen that film.

-You admit it!

0:27:570:27:59

-I think it might be John Huston.

-Huston.

0:27:590:28:02

-It's John Huston, Jeremy.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

0:28:020:28:04

I can tell you that John Huston is the correct answer. Well done.

0:28:040:28:09

Congratulations, Eggheads. You've won.

0:28:090:28:12

Commiserations, the Eggheads have done

0:28:170:28:20

what comes naturally to them. Their winning streak continues.

0:28:200:28:23

I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £14,000.

0:28:230:28:26

Drat!

0:28:260:28:27

Which means the money rolls over. Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:270:28:32

Who will beat you? Join us next time

0:28:320:28:34

to see if the new challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:340:28:38

£15,000 will say they don't.

0:28:380:28:41

Until then, goodbye.
