0:00:04 > 0:00:09These five people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33You might recognise them,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37They are the Eggheads.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42And taking on our quiz champions today are the Flexi Funksters.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45The team are all students at Plymouth University
0:00:45 > 0:00:49and know one another from taking part in team captain Nixi's weekly dance class.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Let's meet them. - Hi, I'm Nixi. I'm 26.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56I'm a dance instructor and full-time environmental science student.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Emily. I'm 20 and I'm a student studying psychology.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm 23 and I'm studying human biosciences.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Jen. I'm 22 and I'm a history student.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Emma. I'm 19 and I'm a theatre and performance student.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15So, Nixi, you teach the others to dance?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Yes.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22I teach them on a weekly basis in a studio in Mutley Plain.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25And what is Nixi like as a teacher? Let me ask the others.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Brilliant.- Fantastic. - She's very good.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Breaking new ground?- Thanks, guys! - Yeah.- For us.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35She's very friendly and manages to teach us without us rebelling
0:01:35 > 0:01:38against her. I think that's pretty skilful.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42We'll see what she's like as a team captain. Every day there is £1,000
0:01:42 > 0:01:44worth of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49the prize rolls over to the next show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54So, Flexi Funksters, the Eggheads have won the last 15 games,
0:01:54 > 0:02:0015, which means that £16,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04The first head to head battle will be on the subject of History.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Which one of you Funksters wants to take History?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Definitely has to be the history student. Jen.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Yeah, that'll be me.- Jen on History.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- I think go for CJ.- OK.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I'll take CJ on, please.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20That's interesting.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24So Jen from the Flexi Funksters against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27What a combination! To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30please take your positions in the question room.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I'm going to ask each of you three multiple choice questions
0:02:33 > 0:02:37on History in turn. Whoever answers the most questions correctly
0:02:37 > 0:02:40is the winner. Jen, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Jen, in 44 BC where was Julius Caesar assassinated?
0:02:59 > 0:03:06This is not my area of History. I'll go with "On The Battlefield".
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- The answer is "In The Senate House".- Oh.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Where they all stabbed him, including his best mate.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16CJ, first question to you.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19The construction of Stonehenge is believed to have begun on
0:03:19 > 0:03:21or around what date?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31By far the oldest. It's 3000 BC.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35If I was watching at home, I would not believe you could be right,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39but you are. It is 3000 BC. It's that old.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44OK, Jen, got to pull it back now.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Which English royal house took its name
0:03:46 > 0:03:51from the sprig of yellow broom they used as an emblem?
0:03:58 > 0:04:05I did Tudor England and it didn't come up, I'm certain of that.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Plantagenet.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Plantagenet.- Yeah, sorry.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- No trouble. You're quite right.- Oh! - Well done.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17ALL: Whoo!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21CJ, whom did President Truman dismiss as commander
0:04:21 > 0:04:25of United Nations forces in Korea in 1951?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Yeah, he was widely criticised for it,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36but he really had no choice because the general in question
0:04:36 > 0:04:41severely criticised him first, although he was the best person
0:04:41 > 0:04:42for the job and it was MacArthur.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46MacArthur is the correct answer, CJ. Well done.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52Two points to our Eggheads. Jen, you need this one.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Which general led his troops to victory
0:04:54 > 0:05:00at the battles of Lake Trasimene and Cannae in the third century BC?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Wow! OK. Again, this is not my area.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Erm... I'll go with Alexander the Great, please.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- CJ, you know this one? - Alexander was dead by then.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Genghis Khan hadn't been born. It's Hannibal.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24It is Hannibal. Sorry, Jen.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Didn't get that right, so that means well done to CJ.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Jen, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Please both of you come back to the studio, join your team-mates.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39As it stands, the challengers have lost one Brain from the final round.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44The Eggheads have lost no Brains. Our next subject is Music.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Who from the Flexi Funksters would like to take music
0:05:47 > 0:05:49and which Egghead would you like to beat?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- I'll go for music, cos then we've got you for others.- Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Will you be all right?- Yeah. - So who do you want to take on, Emma?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Chris has a friendly face and I'd like to...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I wouldn't mind sitting next to him in the...
0:06:01 > 0:06:07What a nice reason! No-one's said that before about Chris.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Play against Chris.- So... OK, it's Emma from the Flexi Funksters
0:06:10 > 0:06:12against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:06:15 > 0:06:18in the room just mentioned, the question room.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I'm going to ask each of you three questions in turn,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24multiple choice of course. Emma, which set - first or second?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Erm, I think I'll go first, please.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31What type of building is mentioned in the first verse
0:06:31 > 0:06:34of the Christmas carol Once In Royal David's City?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Luckily, primary school singing really educated me for this.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48It was... Good time of my life... Cattle Shed.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yes, it was. Well, done.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52ALL: Whoo!
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Chris, the jazz musician Miles Davis
0:06:56 > 0:06:58is best known for playing which instrument?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Well, he wasn't a drummer.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06And I don't say that he couldn't play the piano.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I don't think he was known for playing the piano.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I think Miles Davis was a trumpeter.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Trumpet.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Quite right. One-all.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Here we go, Emma.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21In which country was the pianist David Helfgott born?
0:07:25 > 0:07:31I can't say I'm familiar... I'm just trying to think of the name.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37And it doesn't sound like a Russian name,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39as many of them I can't pronounce.
0:07:39 > 0:07:45Erm... I'll go for United Kingdom, at a guess, a complete guess.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- You think he was born in this country?- Yes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50He wasn't. He was born in Australia.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Oh!- Sorry, Emma.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56You have to hope Chris trips up now.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57He doesn't often.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Chris, which Latin word is used in classical music
0:08:01 > 0:08:05to denote a musical composition and is commonly numbered
0:08:05 > 0:08:07to indicate its order of issue?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Well, locum is the place. Pinxit means he, she or it painted it,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16and the word you're looking for is opus.
0:08:16 > 0:08:23You're right. So the Eggheads have two and the challengers have one.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25And this is your third question, Emma,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28so you must get this right to stay in.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Rope In The Wind,
0:08:29 > 0:08:35The Chase and In Pieces are best-selling albums by which singer?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I think...
0:08:43 > 0:08:50I'm just going to have to go from gut, which is often wrong.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58I'd like to go for Billy Joel, please.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Chris, do you know this?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I'd be inclined to say Garth Brooks myself. I don't know.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05It is Garth Brooks. I'm sorry, Emma.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Chris has won. You were beaten by our Egghead.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Both of you, please come back and join your team-mates.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18So as it stands, the challengers have lost two Brains
0:09:18 > 0:09:21from the final round, whilst the Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24The next subject is Geography.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- Flexi Funksters, who is the Geography person?- Me!- Which of you?
0:09:31 > 0:09:32I think it'll be you.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35..the best of us. It's not our strongest subject...
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Nixi, team captain.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'm going to give it a go. Who do you think I should challenge?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Hmm? I have no idea.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Emma, did we discuss...
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Not for Geography.- I think Judith.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48OK, Judith. OK.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Nixi from the Flexi Funksters versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54To ensure there's no conferring,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57please take your positions in the question room.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00As you know, we have three questions on Geography.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01They're multiple choice.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05You can choose the first set or the second set of questions.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I may go second.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11So, Judith, first question to you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Bel Air is a fashionable area in which American city?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I think that might be Los Angeles.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Yes, it is. Well, done.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Your first question now, Nixi.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31What name is given to the stretch of promenade
0:10:31 > 0:10:35between the North and Central Piers of Blackpool?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43OK, this is going to have to be a complete guess,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46cos I've never been to Blackpool.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52I may choose the Golden Mile. I'm going to go for the Golden Mile.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Yeah, it's right. Well, done, Nixi. - Yes!- Well, done.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Judith, Epping Forest, a region of ancient woodland
0:11:03 > 0:11:06straddles the boundary between Greater London and which county?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Epping Forest, a region of ancient woodland,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16straddles the boundary between Greater London and which county?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Well, not Surrey and not Kent.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I am convinced it's Essex.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Have you been there? - I think I've driven through it.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I don't think I've stopped.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Well, you spent enough time there to know. Well done. It is Essex.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Your question, Nixi.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38What city is served by Gimpo Airport?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Doesn't sound like a Rome name,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50though I'm probably going to kick myself later if it is.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Erm... I'm going to go for Seoul. Is that how you say it?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Seoul.- Seoul.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- It doesn't matter how you say it, it's the right answer.- Yes!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I love when you say "guess", you throw your arms in the air.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Can you do that again, the guess?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Yeah, that's right. We can move on.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Judith, what colour are the two stars on the flag of Syria?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Well, I wonder. Syria is a Muslim country,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27so I think there would probably be green in there somewhere,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30but whether it's a green background with white stars,
0:12:30 > 0:12:36or a white background with green stars, I'm not sure.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I think I'm going to go for black, actually, after all that.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43The answer is green. You're wrong.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I should have stuck to it, shouldn't I?
0:12:45 > 0:12:51So, Nixi, get this, you've got the round.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57Approximately how many miles long is the terrestrial border
0:12:57 > 0:13:00between Canada and the United States?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10This for the round.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16I don't believe it's 5,500, just because it just seems too short
0:13:16 > 0:13:18for the size of the countries,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20cos they are huge compared to us.
0:13:20 > 0:13:26I'm going to go for... Fingers crossed...
0:13:26 > 0:13:3010,500 miles.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36That's wrong, I'm afraid. It's 5,500.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Sorry, Nixi. Your Egghead is still in there.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42We've had our multiple choice questions.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44The scores are level. We will go now to sudden death.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Just to make it that bit harder,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50these questions will not be multiple choice.
0:13:50 > 0:13:56Judith, Banjul is the capital of which West African country,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59the smallest on mainland Africa.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I think it's the Gambia.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- You're right, it is the Gambia. - I've been there, funnily enough.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11You've made it to the Gambia. You drove through Epping Forest.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Where have you not been? Well done.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19- OK, you need this answer, Nixi, here to stay in.- OK.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22The mountainous plateau region of south central France
0:14:22 > 0:14:28which occupies almost one-sixth of the country is known by what name?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30My mind's just gone completely blank.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I'm going to have to pass.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37I'm probably going to kick myself after. I really can't think.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40No guess? Any guess for us?
0:14:40 > 0:14:45My friends, if there's snow there, they probably snowboard there,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49but I can't think of any hills in France right now. I can't think.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I just can't think of any.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54The pressure, it's intense.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- I'll take a pass, shall I? - Yes, please.- OK.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01The mountainous plateau region of south central France
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- is known as the Massif Central.- Ah.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06That's the end of that round. Well done, Judith.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Nixi, you were beaten by your Egghead.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18As it stands, the challengers have lost three Brains
0:15:18 > 0:15:21from the final round, while the Eggheads still haven't lost any.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23The last subject is Sport.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Now which of you challengers?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Oh, dear! Immediate deflation.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- What are we thinking? - Who wants to take it?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- We lost our sport person. - I don't watch any sports.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36We want to leave Sarah till the final round, really, I think.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39She's probably our strongest General Knowledge.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40So I guess that would be me.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43It's not my best subject, so it's going to be interesting.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- You can do it.- Guessing.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48But you are a surfer, aren't you?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51That doesn't mean I know anything about different sports!
0:15:51 > 0:15:53OK. Which Egghead do you want to take on?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Daphne's good.- Yeah, Daphne's good.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00It's got to be Daphne or Kevin.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- Kevin.- Kevin on sport?- Yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05OK. So it's Emily from the Flexi Funksters
0:16:05 > 0:16:08against Kevin from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11please take your positions in the question room.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Emily, you get to choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I think I'll go first.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24What is the venue for the US Open tennis tournament, Emily?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36US Tennis Open... that's definitely not my area.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42I'm going to go for Madison Square Garden, cos it's the one I know of.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Sorry to say that's the wrong answer. It's Flushing Meadows.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51OK. Kevin, the boxer Henry Cooper won British and European titles
0:16:51 > 0:16:54fighting in which weight division?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00He was a heavyweight, Jeremy.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03He was indeed a heavyweight. You're right.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05So the Eggheads have one point.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Come on, Emily. Micah Richards, born in Birmingham in 1988
0:17:10 > 0:17:13has represented England in which sport?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I've never heard of him, which is unfortunate.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Erm... Micah Richards.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34I'm going to go with football, I think.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- I'm so glad, cos it is football. - Yes!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Your question, Kevin.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44The fast bowler Steve Harmison made his debut
0:17:44 > 0:17:47for which country cricket team in 1996?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Well, hoping he hasn't moved counties since then.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56He actually plays for Durham, so Durham.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Durham is right.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03So two points to the Eggheads, one to the challenger.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Emily, you need this.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07The journalist and broadcaster Clive Everton
0:18:07 > 0:18:11is well known for his writings and TV commentary on which sport?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Clive Everton. It rings a bell.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I don't know why - I want to go with snooker.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I really don't know why.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Clive Everton?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I'm going to go with snooker, I think.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30First instinct, snooker.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Bang on.- Yes!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34ALL: Whoo!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Cor! You're putting us through it, I tell you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Pot black anyway. You did it. Well done.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Now, Kevin, if you get this right, you have knocked Emily out.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46From which of these scores is it impossible
0:18:46 > 0:18:48to achieve a three-dart finish?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I was going to say, probably impossible for me
0:18:56 > 0:18:58with all three of them, but I've done one of them,
0:18:58 > 0:19:04which is 164. Which is treble 20, treble 18, bull.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09And 167 you can do by treble 19,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12treble 20, bull. So it's 162.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17It is indeed 162, Kevin. Well, done. You've taken that round,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20which means, Emily, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23So you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Please both of you come back here to the studio.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28This is what we've been playing towards -
0:19:28 > 0:19:31the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:19:34 > 0:19:37won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42So, Nixi, Emily, Jen and Emma from the Flexi Funksters,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45please leave the studio.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50So, Sarah, you are playing to win the Flexi Funksters £16,000
0:19:50 > 0:19:51and there they are behind you,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53willing you on.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Judith, Kevin, CJ, Daphne and Chris, you are playing for something
0:19:57 > 0:20:00which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06The questions are all General Knowledge.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08You are allowed to confer.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11OK. Who with?!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13So the question is,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- And if you win this money for your team...- Yeah.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- You're going to take the lot? - Yeah, absolutely!
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- They don't think so.- No!- What will you spend it on?- No, we'll split it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I would go on holiday and buy a surf board.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Buy a surf board. You all love your surfing.- We do.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- We do love to surf in Cornwall and Devon.- Well, best of luck.- Thank you.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41They are a mean machine this lot, but you can do it. It's been done.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43It's a little bit intimidating.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Choose the first or the second set of questions.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I think I'll go first please.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Sarah, a nosegay is a small bound collection of what?
0:20:57 > 0:21:03A nosegay, N-O-S-E-G-A-Y, is a small bound collection of what?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I can't imagine it would be fish.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Erm...
0:21:08 > 0:21:12So it's going to have to be feathers or flowers.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I'm going to go with feathers.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Feathers is your answer?- Yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- I'm sorry it's wrong. It's flowers.- OK.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23OK.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Your question, Eggheads.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Which animal lends its name to a stock market
0:21:28 > 0:21:31in which prices are persistently rising?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Bull, definitely.- Yeah, bull.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40That would be a bull market.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42You're right, the answer is bull.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45So second question to you, Sarah.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Clinker built is a term normally referring
0:21:47 > 0:21:49to the construction of what?
0:21:53 > 0:21:59Clinker built... C-L-I-N-K-E-R built... B-U-I-L-T
0:21:59 > 0:22:05..is a term normally referring to the construction of what?
0:22:05 > 0:22:10I don't know why, but I'm drawn towards ships for that question.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14So that's what I'm going to go for. I've no idea why,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16but that's what I'm going to go for.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Ships is right. Well, done. - ALL: Whoo!
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And they're very, very happy about that. You're still in there.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You're still in fighting.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Eggheads, which cartoon strip character created by Alex Graham
0:22:27 > 0:22:31made his first appearance in the Daily Mail in 1963?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Which cartoon strip character created by Alex Graham
0:22:39 > 0:22:43made his first appearance in the Daily Mail in 1963?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Well, Rupert Bear's the Express. Where's Dilbert?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's American syndication...
0:22:49 > 0:22:54- Yeah.- That's Scott Adams.- But it is Fred Basset. That's our answer.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Daphne, you're right. The dog Fred Basset. Well done.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02OK, Sarah, you need this one.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08Malta lies approximately 58 miles south of which Mediterranean island?
0:23:14 > 0:23:19Malta lies approximately 58 miles south of which Mediterranean island?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24I don't think it's Majorca.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I'm going to say Sicily.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- You're saying Sicily?- Yeah.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- To stay in with a chance of winning £16,000?- Yeah.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Sicily it is. Well done.- It's right! Oh!
0:23:40 > 0:23:45Oh, goodness! How much more of this can we bear?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48So, Eggheads two, challengers two.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Eggheads, if you get this answer,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53then you've taken that money away again.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57During the refurbishment of Westminster Hall in the 1920s,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59what did workmen find in the rafters,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02apparently dating back to the time of Henry VIII?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12During the refurbishment of Westminster Hall in the 1920s,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14what did workmen find in the rafters,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16apparently dating back to the time of Henry VIII?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18And if you get this answer right,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21you send the Flexi Funksters home with nothing.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23..I don't know if that's anything to do with that.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25He did play tennis, didn't he?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Because, well, further up in Whitehall
0:24:28 > 0:24:30there's Henry VIII's wine cellar.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- Oh.- Which there is underneath the Ministry of Defence main building.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36But I don't know. I wouldn't...
0:24:36 > 0:24:42- I don't know this, but I wouldn't have thought family portraits.- No.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- No. Tennis balls?- I've never heard of them playing tennis
0:24:46 > 0:24:49in Westminster Hall, so I think the most likely is wine bottles,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51but I don't know it.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Chris and me said wine bottles.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55That is the most likely one.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's either tennis balls or wine bottles.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59You can tell by the prolonged discussion,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01we're not absolutely sure...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03We're enjoying it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09- We're enjoying that, aren't we?- We do think it might be wine bottles.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- You're saying wine bottles?- We are.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Flexi Funksters, you're still alive. It's tennis balls!- Yes!
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Really.- Yes, it is. So the scores are level.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23We now go to sudden death. And remember,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27to make it that bit harder, these questions are not multiple choice.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31First question to you, Sarah.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Who was William Shakespeare's wife?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I live just outside Stratford-on-Avon,
0:25:37 > 0:25:38so if I get this wrong...!
0:25:38 > 0:25:40It was...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Anne Hathaway.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Spot on. Well done.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- ALL: Yeeeah!!! - Go, Sarah!
0:25:51 > 0:25:54OK, Eggheads.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56If you get this question wrong,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00the Flexi Funksters go home with £16,000 and not only that,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03you've been beaten by their lone surviving player.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Which quiz show host was the subject of a popular urban myth
0:26:08 > 0:26:10that he played the saxophone solo
0:26:10 > 0:26:14in the Gerry Rafferty UK hit single Baker Street?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- When was that?- When was that?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Let's work it out.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Let's think of quiz show hosts. Bamber Gascoigne.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Jeremy Paxman.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Hughie Green. - How did you express it again, Jeremy?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Did you say, "Which quiz show host"?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Which quiz show host was the subject
0:26:34 > 0:26:38of a popular urban myth that he played the saxophone solo
0:26:38 > 0:26:42in the Gerry Rafferty UK hit single Baker Street?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45It may be a popular urban myth, but it's not one I've ever heard of.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- No, I've never heard of it. - I thought...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Do we know who really did...?
0:26:49 > 0:26:54- Nicholas Parsons...- If you get this wrong, Eggheads,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58it's the third time only that you've lost to one person
0:26:58 > 0:26:59playing on their own.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Right, now come on, we've got to think of quiz show hosts.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Right, so...
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Gascoigne, Leslie Crowther, Nicholas Parsons, Hughie Green.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Bruce Forsyth. - Who's done a music quiz?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- No idea.- No idea.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16We need an answer, Eggheads.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Bamber Gascoigne.- Bamber or Hughie. - Hughie.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Hughie?- Hughie Green.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Hughie Green is your answer, Eggheads?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26And I think she's won.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30For £16,000...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Oh, no. We've never... - If you're right,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- you're snatching that money away. - I'm guessing we're not!
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- No.- You're wrong.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39ALL: Whooo!
0:27:39 > 0:27:42You are so wrong! It was Bob Holness.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49Challengers, you've just won £16,000. Congratulations.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52What an amazing game. Well done.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53- Well done, Sarah.- We won!
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- What went wrong, Eggheads?- Sorry? - Tennis balls.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Just the circuits fused. The tennis balls went wrong?!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05We didn't think that one through, but we hadn't come across it.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08... cos you hit tennis balls up in the air.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10One of my colleagues on Radio 2, Stuart Maconie,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12started the rumour in NME magazine
0:28:12 > 0:28:17that Bob Holness had played the saxophone on Baker Street.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Did you know that?- I didn't. I needed reminding.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- So...- I can't believe it. - What happens now?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- The surf shops?- Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
0:28:25 > 0:28:27We're going shopping.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Well done, Flexi Funksters.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35You have proved they can be beaten.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Join us next time on Eggheads to see if the new team of challengers
0:28:39 > 0:28:41will be just as successful.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Until then, what a great game. Goodbye.
