0:00:05 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17The question is - do you have the brains to join them?
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello and welcome to Make Me An Egghead.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28We've launched a nationwide search
0:00:28 > 0:00:30to find the greatest quiz brains in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34By the end of the series, two people will emerge as champions
0:00:34 > 0:00:38and win the ultimate prize for quizzing enthusiasts.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Yes, a place on the most fearsome quiz team in history, the Eggheads.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44So, let's meet today's contestants,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47both hoping they've got what it takes to become an Egghead.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi. I'm Marianne Fairthorne.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I'm a quantitative analyst from London.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'm Dani Harvey, I'm a stay-at-home mum.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I now live in London, but I'm originally from Lincoln.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Great stuff. Well, welcome to you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01And I notice, Marianne, you said quantitative analyst.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- There's actually an extra... Say it again for me.- Quantitative.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- It really is quantitative?- Yeah.- OK. - That's what makes it so difficult.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Feels like there's an extra bit in there. Yeah.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Do you love your quizzing, Marianne? - Yeah.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Brilliant. And you too, Dani? - Yes, I'm a huge fan of the show.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16So, Dani, tell me about your quizzing past.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Well, a long time ago, I used to write quizzes
0:01:19 > 0:01:21at a holiday hotel in Weymouth.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23So, I'm hoping that some of those facts and figures
0:01:23 > 0:01:24have stayed in my head.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Yeah, quiz mastering is great training, guys, isn't it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28We know that.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30And I did appear on the National Lottery Jet Set
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- in 2005 and I won three holidays. - OK.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And I was also on the Weakest Link and I came third on that.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Lovely. And, Marianne, you've been on Mastermind.- Yeah.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- And you were a serious champion. - Yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Your specialist subjects were...
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Empress Livia, Catalhoyuk and Caterina Sforza.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Catalhoyuk?- Yeah.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Where's that?- It's near Konya in central Turkey.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Right. So, we've got some, I think, formidable quizzers here, Eggheads.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00OK. Good luck, both of you.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Contestants, this is where you need to prove
0:02:02 > 0:02:03that you could be an Egghead.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Just like on Eggheads,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07you're both going to compete over a series of different rounds
0:02:07 > 0:02:10where your knowledge will be tested on the regular Eggheads categories.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15So, the first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Music.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Now, I'm going to ask each of you
0:02:18 > 0:02:20three multiple choice questions on music in turn.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24It's kind of obvious.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27The prize for winning a round, though - this is the crucial thing -
0:02:27 > 0:02:30is that you gain an extra brain for the final.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Not just any old brain, you gain one of these brains over here,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34one of the Eggheads.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Before the show, we tossed a coin.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38As a result of that, Dani, you have the option as to whether
0:02:38 > 0:02:40you would like to play the Music round first or second.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I'll go first pleased, Jeremy.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49So, here we go, Music, multiple-choice, starting with Dani.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Matt Bellamy became famous as the lead singer of which band?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Matt Bellamy, well, I don't think that it's Coldplay
0:02:58 > 0:03:00as I believe that's Chris Martin.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I think that Thom Yorke is the lead singer of Radiohead.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07And so, by default, I'm going to go for Muse, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Muse is correct.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Marianne,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13which song by Lady Gaga starts with the lines,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15"We are the crowd, we're coming out"?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Well, I think the reference to coming out and things
0:03:22 > 0:03:26makes Born This Way sound reasonably likely.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Born This Way is actually incorrect.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Anyone know Gaga here, Lisa?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Struggling. I might have gone with Paparazzi.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36It is Paparazzi.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Back to you, Dani.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41In 1979, which classical guitarist
0:03:41 > 0:03:44had a top 20 hit in the UK with Cavatina?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Not familiar with any of those names, unfortunately.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I'm just going to go with Julian Bream,
0:03:56 > 0:03:57straight down the middle.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Any Eggheads know?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- ALL:- John Williams. - John Williams is the answer.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01- BARRY:- The theme from The Deer Hunter.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Yeah, that's the key thing.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04It was the theme from The Deer Hunter.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Directed by?- Michael Cimino.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Michael Cimino.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10You see them raring to go. They're raring to get stuck in here.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Dani has one. Marianne,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15get this right, you're level.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19The conductor Trevor Pinnock best known for the performance
0:04:19 > 0:04:22of Baroque music is a soloist on which instrument?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28This is a bit of a difficult one.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I guess conductors playing a keyboard instrument
0:04:32 > 0:04:34might make a little bit more sense than something.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So, I'm just going to say harpsichord.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Harpsichord is the right answer.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42OK. So, you're back level with each other.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I can tell this is going to be a good contest.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Dani, which prolific songwriter has credits that include
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Baby One More Time for Britney Spears,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I Kissed A Girl for Katy Perry,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and Shake It Off for Taylor Swift?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01It's an interesting bit of trivia,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03but I'm afraid I don't know the answer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I'm sure they're all prolific songwriters,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08but Cathy Dennis is the one that's probably more familiar to me.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11But, then, having said that, would I therefore have heard of them?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Um...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15For some reason, I'm now thinking Dr Luke.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16So, I'm going to say Dr Luke.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18The answer is not Dr Luke,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20it's Max Martin, Dani.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22So, one point each.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Marianne, get this right,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27you've got the chance of bringing an Egghead onboard.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Marianne, your question.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34Which composer's opera L'Orfeo, first staged in 1607,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38is one of the earliest to still be performed in the modern repertoire?
0:05:44 > 0:05:50Well, Monteverdi certainly has done one of the very earliest operas.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55I can't remember whether Orfeo is his really famous early one or not.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58But I shouldn't ignore my first answer,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01so I'm just saying it is Monteverdi.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Barry will know this. Barry?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Yes, it is Monteverdi.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Claudio Monteverdi is the right answer.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So, we say congratulations, Marianne.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09You've won the first head-to-head.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14And as a result, you gain an Egghead for the final round.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17So, you can take your pick of any of the five there.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Let's be completely unoriginal and have Kevin.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Are you up for this, Kevin? - Always up for it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23You've been chosen.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27So, Marianne has one Egghead to help her in the final.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Dani doesn't have one yet.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And the next category for you is Arts & Books.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Now, Marianne, as the winner of the first head-to-head,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36you get to decide if you'd like to play first or second.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I think I'll play first, please.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44And here we go with your first question.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47The Hugo Awards are given for works in which genre?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I've heard it and I'm pretty sure it's crime or science fiction.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I'm just trying to think back into...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I think it's science fiction.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Let's see whether the Eggheads know.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Is she right?- Yes.- She is.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Marianne, you're right. It's science fiction.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Dani, mounting the comeback now.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I'll do my best.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13The artist Mark Rothko died in which year?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I don't know, unfortunately.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25For some reason, I don't think it's as late as 1990.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28But I think that some of his paintings were from the '50s.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31So, therefore, I'm going to go for 1970.
0:07:31 > 0:07:341970 is quite right.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36So, you're equal after one question.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38And we go back to you, Marianne.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Which of these art galleries was originally intended
0:07:41 > 0:07:44as an administration building for the cities magistrates?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Well, Uffizi means offices, doesn't it?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52So, I think I'll go Uffizi.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Wow. That was stunningly quick.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57- Is she right? ALL:- Yes.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59You're right. Uffizi, it is.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Well done. Back to you, Dani.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Eilis Lacey is the main protagonist of a 2009 bestselling novel
0:08:07 > 0:08:09by which Irish author?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I'm not sure why, but the name Colm Toibin is calling to me.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22It's as good an option as any, so I'm going to say that, please.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Colm Toibin, it is. Nicely done.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27This is tight, isn't it?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Third question to you, Marianne.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Thomas Hardy's fictional place Christminster
0:08:32 > 0:08:34is based on which city?
0:08:37 > 0:08:42On the one hand, he did write stuff about the West Country a bit.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47But I think he also might have wrote a bit about university cities.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49So...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I might regret this, but I'm going to say Oxford.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Oxford is correct. Well done.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Three out of three.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58She's making it hard for you here, Dani.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59You've got to get this one right
0:08:59 > 0:09:01to have a chance of grabbing an Egghead in this round.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Which of these is the title of a 1946 Famous Five book
0:09:05 > 0:09:06by Enid Blyton?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'm trying to remember whether Five Go Off In A Caravan
0:09:16 > 0:09:19is actually a Famous Five book or whether that's the...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21humorous take that French and Saunders and co did.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I can't remember.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27But, I'm going to go with it, Five Go Off In A Caravan.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Five Go Off In A Caravan is the right answer.- Well done.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Nicely played. So, Eggheads, what about this?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Very good. - A tight contest here. They approve.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Three questions each, the scores are level.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43We go to Sudden Death. Just do make it that bit harder,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45these questions will not be multiple choice.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Marianne, I'll start with you.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Although, perhaps better-known for her trilogy,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51who was the author of the five novels
0:09:51 > 0:09:55known collectively as The Underland Chronicles?
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Ursula Le Guin.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00No, it's not.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02The trilogy referred to is The Hunger Games
0:10:02 > 0:10:04and it's Suzanne Collins.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06OK, Dani, you get this right,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08you've got the round.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Which illustrator served as the first Children's Laureate
0:10:11 > 0:10:15between 1999 and 2001?
0:10:15 > 0:10:20I'm not sure, but I'm going to go with Quentin Blake.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Marianne, is she right?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Yeah.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Said reluctantly. But you're right. Well done. Quentin Blake, it is.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Congratulations, Dani. You have won the head-to-head.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So, you've drawn level with Marianne here.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41You gain an Egghead for the final round, which one would you like?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44It's a difficult decision. I'm going to go with Pat, please.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Pat, you've been chosen. - It makes me feel special.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50It's good, I'm pleased, very pleased.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54So, we've got Kevin and Pat playing on opposite sides in the final.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Things are heating up.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Marianne has one Egghead to help her in the final, Dani also has one.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Biting my nails here. The next category is Science.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03And, Dani, because you won the last round,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11OK, good luck.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15CH4 is the formula for which gas?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Well, ozone, I think, is O3.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Carbon dioxide is CO2, so I'm going to go with methane, please.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Methane is correct.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Marianne, approximately what percentage
0:11:28 > 0:11:34of the human body's oxygen supply does the brain use?
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Well, it's quite a lot, so it won't be 5%,
0:11:45 > 0:11:5050% sounds incredibly high, so I'll just go 20.
0:11:50 > 0:11:5120% is the right answer.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You're both playing well.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Second question to you, Dani.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Petit mal and grand mal
0:11:57 > 0:12:01are names for two types of what medical condition?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Well, I didn't think that there were two types of glandular fever,
0:12:08 > 0:12:09so I'm going to rule that out.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I'm going to pick the wrong one, aren't I?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Let's say haemophilia.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Eggheads? ALL:- Epilepsy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Yes, it is epilepsy. OK, so one each.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22You have a chance to take the lead here, Marianne.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Harp, star and fan are all examples of which type of bridge?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32I can imagine with cable-stayed
0:12:32 > 0:12:34it's the fan shape and the heart shape,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I just think the patterns would be in cables
0:12:36 > 0:12:38rather than fixed structures,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41so it sort of sends me towards cable-stayed a bit.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Cable-stayed is right. Good logic there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46OK, Dani, your third question,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48and you need this one.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51The newly hatched of which dangerous creature immediately seeks
0:12:51 > 0:12:53shelter in trees after birth?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00For some reason, I can't imagine a crocodile hiding in a tree.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03But then if scorpions are often in a desert, then there aren't many trees
0:13:03 > 0:13:05for them to hide in.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I'm going to go with crocodile having originally ruled it out.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'm going to say crocodile.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Crocodile is your answer, yeah, having ruled it out.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Eggheads.- I'd fancy komodo dragon.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Komodo dragon is the answer, Dani.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20So it means we say congratulations, Marianne,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22you've won the final head-to-head.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25And you get to choose
0:13:25 > 0:13:29another Egghead to help you in the final round.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31So, who would you like? It can't be Pat or Kevin.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Well, Dave and I know different types of things,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35so I'd like to pick Dave, please.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Dave.- Yeah, that's fine.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39You've been picked a couple of times now.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- I'm being worked...worked hard. - You are being worked hard.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44So, Marianne, you've got Kevin and Dave in the final round.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Dani, you've got Pat. Why don't we play that final round?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55It's time to find out who's one step closer to becoming an Egghead
0:13:55 > 0:13:58and who will be eliminated from our search.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Marianne and Dani, I will ask each of you three questions in turn.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Now, in this final round, you will no longer be playing alone.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11You're going to have the backing of the Eggheads that you've won over
0:14:11 > 0:14:13the course of the show, which means, Marianne,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16you're going to have the help of Kevin and Dave over there
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and, Dani, you will have the assistance of Pat.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22You'll be able to call on your respective Eggheads for advice
0:14:22 > 0:14:24before giving an answer to a question.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27However, you can ask each of your Eggheads for help only once.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28So, use them wisely.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Marianne, you won the last round,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33you get to choose whether you want to play first or second.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Just for a change, I'd like to play second, please.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42So, Dani, over to you.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45The costume designer Jenny Beavan was famously referred to as
0:14:45 > 0:14:49a bag lady whilst winning a BAFTA for which film?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I remember the incident, because I believe that it was Stephen Fry
0:14:56 > 0:15:01that referred to her as a bag lady, but I don't recall the film.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Um... But of those three, I would go with The Danish Girl.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10OK, so not calling on Pat for this one,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12The Danish Girl, though, is the wrong answer.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It is Mad Max - Fury Road,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17which had a lot of kind of futuristic outfits in it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19And, of course, Stephen Fry, I think, knew her
0:15:19 > 0:15:22and they were friends and he was saying, "She's a friend of mine."
0:15:22 > 0:15:23OK, Marianne, your question.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Which of these names has been shared by a Blue Peter dog,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Blue Peter parrot and Blue Peter presenter?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I think I'd like help with this one.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- You want to call on an Egghead? - Yeah.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Which of those two would you like to choose?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Is it going to be Kevin or Dave
0:15:44 > 0:15:45who knows about Blue Peter?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- I don't know. I'll try Dave. - So, Dave, what do you think?
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Right, Marianne, I don't really know the answer,
0:15:54 > 0:15:55but let me have a think.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00If I had to go for it, Marianne, I would go for Barney.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01There's definitely been
0:16:01 > 0:16:03a Blue Peter presenter called Barney,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I think it's a more logical name
0:16:06 > 0:16:09for a dog or a parrot than Zoe.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Children's TV is not my forte, but Barney would be my inkling.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Now, you have a choice here, Marianne, you've heard Dave's view.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19You can also ask Kevin,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21but then you lose both of them.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23You can take a different view
0:16:23 > 0:16:24entirely. Over to you.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30I have no reason to try and overrule Dave, so I'll go with Barney.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Barney is right. Well done,
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Thank you, Dave.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Right, so, Marianne is in the lead.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Therefore, Dani, you've got to pull it back.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45What type of architectural feature is a mansard?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I do know this one - it's a mansard roof.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Yes, it is a mansard roof. Well done.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Still with Pat
0:16:56 > 0:16:57to play as well.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00But Marianne has a chance to go into the lead.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02The Today newspaper launched in 1986
0:17:02 > 0:17:07and stopped publishing in which year?
0:17:07 > 0:17:121995, 1999 or 2003? Which is it?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I wouldn't have thought it was as long ago as 1995,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19but I'm not really sure about this.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21The question is whether
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I have a go at it or not.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I'm just going to say 1999 and be done with it.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And I really probably shouldn't have done that, but I will.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36OK, so you've gone it alone there, you've not called in Kevin.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Did you rule out '95 for some reason?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Not a good reason, no, I just had
0:17:40 > 0:17:42a feeling it probably wasn't.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- I've got a feeling it probably is... - OK, fine.- ..1995.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48So, 1995 is the correct answer.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Kevin is still to play for you,
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Marianne.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Back to Dani, see if you can take the advantage here.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59In the Indian numbering system, one lakh - L-A-K-H -
0:17:59 > 0:18:01is the same as which specific amount?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I have an inkling, but I think now
0:18:07 > 0:18:09is the time to bring Pat into play.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Pat.- I don't think it's as low as 1,000,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14so it's between the two big numbers.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Ten or 100. One is a crore, I think, and one is a lakh.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I'm afraid I can't offer any certainty on this at all.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25A lakh.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I would tilt towards 100,000,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29but I really am not confident at all.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I'm going to go with Pat and say 100,000.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Your decision. You're going 100,000? - Yes.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- 100,000 is correct. - Good man. Thank you, Pat.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Well done, Pat. Well done, Dani, for choosing.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Sometimes their tilts are worth more than human tilts.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48OK.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50So, Dani is in the lead
0:18:50 > 0:18:51and you have to get this right,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Marianne, or it's over for you, I hate to say that.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Which duke holds the right
0:18:58 > 0:19:03to maintain the UK's only legal private army?
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Unless I'm going mad, because of the whole situation,
0:19:13 > 0:19:14it's the Duke of Atholl.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The whole situation as in sitting in this studio?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Yeah. Sitting in this studio,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23forgetting probably half I knew,
0:19:23 > 0:19:24but the Duke of Atholl
0:19:24 > 0:19:26is what I believe it to be.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Even though this is potentially your last moment in the contest,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31you are saving Kevin...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Yeah.- ..for some future moment.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Yeah, because I do think it is this
0:19:35 > 0:19:37and if I'm not prepared to go
0:19:37 > 0:19:40for anything, then I'm not going to get very far anyway, so...
0:19:40 > 0:19:46- OK, if you've got this wrong, the contest is over for you.- Yeah.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Let's just try the Eggs back there, do you know, Eggs?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- BOTH:- That's right.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51You're right.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Well done, it is the Duke of Atholl.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Wow, you're playing a steady game there, if I may say so.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58So, after three questions each, scores are level.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00You didn't run away with it there, Dani.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02She's held you back and we go to Sudden Death.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06It gets a bit harder, these questions are not multiple choice
0:20:06 > 0:20:07and we start with Dani.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Sudden Death question for you.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11What is the first name of Zara and Mike Tindall's daughter,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14born in January 2014.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I think it's Mia.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Mia is correct. Nicely done.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22This is the problem with letting Dani go first.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25You're just on the back foot here, but hang on in there. Marianne.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28How many minutes are there in a day?
0:20:31 > 0:20:36In an hour there are, obviously, 60 minutes.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41So, OK, so 60 x 4...
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Yeah, this is harder than it should be because of the pressure.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51So, 60 x 4 is 240,
0:20:51 > 0:20:5660 x 20
0:20:56 > 0:20:58is 1,200.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03So - 1,440.
0:21:03 > 0:21:061,440 is the right answer.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Not easy to do mental arithmetic
0:21:08 > 0:21:11with all of these lights and everything else. Well done.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Dani, back to you, this is a great game.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Which popular video sharing website was co-founded by Jake Lodwick
0:21:19 > 0:21:23and Zach Klein in 2004?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I'm trying to think of how many video sharing websites I know.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29There's a few, aren't there?
0:21:29 > 0:21:34I mean, there's YouTube, I think...is Vimeo one as well?
0:21:34 > 0:21:382004. I'm just going to say YouTube.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Vimeo is the right answer.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Vimeo, and the name is an anagram of movie.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49So, here we go.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Get this right and you've triumphed, Marianne.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Here's your Sudden Death question, you've still got Kevin back there.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58See if you can do it without Kevin.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02The name of the mythical island of Avalon
0:22:02 > 0:22:07is taken from the Old Welsh for what?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Ask Kevin, please.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Have you got any suspicion of what the answer is or not?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12No, I don't know this.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15OK, Kevin, do you know the answer?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I honestly don't know either, Jeremy.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Anything I say will be a guess.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Let's say,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and it's a pure guess, so I'll...
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Blessed.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Avalon, the Old Welsh for blessed.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37You don't have to accept that, Marianne. That's Kevin's best guess.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Well, I know that there are Fields of Avalon in Glastonbury
0:22:42 > 0:22:46and it does mean, you know,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48something that's sort of... Like, blessed or sacred
0:22:48 > 0:22:53or something like that would sound good enough to me.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55So, I'll stick with what Kevin says.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59OK. Kevin's looking a tiny bit unblessed.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01It's a pure guess. I don't know.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04It is a proper guess, but then it's all you've got.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06If you get this right, you've beaten Dani.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09If you get it wrong, we play on.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11It's actually much more material than blessed,
0:23:11 > 0:23:12it's not a word like that.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15It means apple or apples.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17No, I couldn't have got that, could we?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Bad luck, Kevin.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20So, you saved Kevin up there
0:23:20 > 0:23:22and didn't quite happen.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- You can't believe you're still in it, Dani?- Certainly not.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28All right, well, you can turn it around, let's see.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Here's your question.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Which unit of the British Army officially has a beige beret?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35The British Army is something that, I'm afraid,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I really don't know anything at all about.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Something like the infantry or artillery or something like that.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43I'll say infantry.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45No, the answer is the SAS.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49OK, Marianne,
0:23:49 > 0:23:50for the contest.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55In 1942, the Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton
0:23:55 > 0:23:59became the second wife of which British-born actor?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02You get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06That's Cash and Cary, so it's Cary Grant.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08They were known as Cash and Cary, as a couple.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13They were nicknamed Cash and Cary, they divorced three years later
0:24:13 > 0:24:14and the answer is indeed Cary Grant.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16So, well done, Marianne.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18You have won.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Commiserations, Dani.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- That could have gone either way. You played well.- Thank you.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Marianne, you love your quizzing, I can tell.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Not so much now, that was very stressful.- Yeah.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Well, the mathematical one can go badly wrong, as we know.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Yeah, and especially with my job,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I'd never be allowed into work again if I got that wrong.
0:24:42 > 0:24:4360 x 24, yes, exactly.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Well, you've proved that winning comes as naturally to you
0:24:46 > 0:24:49as it does to our Eggheads and you are one step closer
0:24:49 > 0:24:51to joining our quiz Goliaths,

0:24:54 > 0:24:57The good news is you are guaranteed a place on our leaderboard.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05for each round you've won today - you won two, so six points.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10you're guaranteed the top spot,

0:25:14 > 0:25:18we're going to give you a quick-fire question round for two minutes,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21each correct answer you will score a point for.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I've got to accept your first answer. Are you ready to play?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I guess I have to be.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Good luck. Your time starts now.
