0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29The show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against
0:00:29 > 0:00:32possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- How are you feeling today? - Very feisty.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I reckon they are looking a little bit worried today.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Helping to create headlines against our quiz Goliaths are
0:00:42 > 0:00:44the Ron Burgundys.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45This team of familiar faces from
0:00:45 > 0:00:47the world of news presenting can often be
0:00:47 > 0:00:49found asking difficult questions,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52but they have assured me they are also very good at answering them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56In fact, one of the team is so fond of quizzing that he has returned for
0:00:56 > 0:00:58another bash at the Eggheads.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59So, let's meet them.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Charlie Stayt, Presenter of BBC Breakfast.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Babita Sharma,
0:01:06 > 0:01:07presenter for BBC World News and
0:01:07 > 0:01:09you'll have seen me on Supermarket Secrets.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Martine Croxall.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I'm a presenter with the BBC News Channel and host of The Papers.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I'm Sally Magnusson. I'm a presenter on BBC Reporting Scotland,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22I spent most of my childhood watching my father host Mastermind,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24and I wish to goodness I had paid more attention.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Hello, I'm Clive Myrie.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I am a BBC News presenter and I am a correspondent.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- So, Charlie and team, hello. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Great to see you. Lovely to have news people in,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I can see you've already slightly intimidated them.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39So... The disc shook a little bit over here, honestly.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And, Charlie, you are coming back for more.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45It's been a while. I had to recover for quite a long time,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47it's been a long time since I was last here, but...
0:01:47 > 0:01:49What happened last time? I honestly can't remember.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Well, I think I've blurred it out.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I've deliberately got rid of all memory of it.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57There was a point when I went head-to-head with Kevin.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Right.- And at the time, I didn't know that was a very bad idea.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- But it turned out to be.- It is quite a nice screen grab.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07In the booth with Kevin, because he is probably, he's not here today,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10the most knowledgeable person in the English-speaking world.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- I think.- Yeah.- It's quite extraordinary.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- So am I to assume that that maybe didn't go quite as planned, that round?- It didn't go well.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- It didn't go well.- Is there anything you are looking
0:02:18 > 0:02:20for today, Charlie, to answer, or any strong areas?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23No, I would echo the thing you said a moment ago.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I would echo the thought that probably, I speak for all of us here,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28which is that we are so much more
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- happy asking questions than answering them.- Absolutely.- Yep.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- That's so true.- It's horrible.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Yeah. Babita, do you feel the same about that?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Absolutely. We are feeling pretty nervous, I'd say.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42We are well out of our comfort zone.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45We really are out of our comfort zone. Any tips, Jeremy, for us?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Well, just don't snatch at it. That would be the main thing.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Occasionally we've just had people go for the first thing and sometimes
0:02:53 > 0:02:56get it wrong, but I don't know.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57What is your famous tip, Judith?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You've got a brilliant one. Always choose the Pacific...?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Oh, yes, islands live in the Pacific.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05If it's food, it's bound to be cheese.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09If you don't know about the animal, it's an antelope.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Right, OK. Well, there...
0:03:10 > 0:03:11- Very good.- Yes.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13So we've learned a few workarounds here.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- But that could make... - She could be bluffing.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Well, this lot are very dodgy, it has to be said.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21They are scary even in daylight.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Good luck, challengers.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Thank you.- Good luck, news people.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash for grabs for our challengers'
0:03:27 > 0:03:30chosen charity. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36So, Ron Burgundys, the Eggheads have won the last two celebrity games,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39so the first two celebrity teams came unstuck.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41It does mean that there's £3,000 if you beat them today.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Would you like to try?- Yes!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Brilliant. Said with a real determination.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53And you can choose either Judith or Beth, perhaps Steve or Lisa.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Who would like music? - Who's taking music?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Somebody said they wanted...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Who do we dump that subject on?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02- I don't mind.- I think it was you.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Yeah. Is it going to be me?- I don't mind.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07You're being very magnanimous.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Let's try it.- Babita, OK.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I thought that maybe the planning had come unstuck at an early stage
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- there.- Planning?- Planning?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17You had a conversation... ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You had a conversation but you couldn't remember it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21OK. All right, Babita, which Egghead?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- OK.- OK, Steve.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Yeah. All right. So, Babita from the Ron Burgundys versus Steve
0:04:26 > 0:04:29from the Eggheads on Music, and to ensure there is no conferring,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31please go to our famous question room.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35OK. So, your choice, Babita.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37We go to music. Would you like to go first or second?
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Second.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Steve, your first question is this.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47The band Black Sabbath is best known for playing what type of music?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Black Sabbath...
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Ah. Yeah, I'm just try to picture them doing jazz.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55It's heavy metal, Jeremy.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It is indeed. Name a song.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Black Sabbath? Paranoid.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Paranoid. Babita, your first question.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06What type of musical instrument is the mandolin?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Is the mandolin...?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Stringed.- Stringed is right.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Well done.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19So far the news team have not got a question wrong.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Can we stop now?- We can stop now, thank you.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25We'll see you tomorrow.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27OK, Steve, your question. Which of these singers was born first?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Hmm. It's obviously not Michael Buble.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Um...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Well, Tony Bennett is still around.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I know he's old.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45But because Frank Sinatra is not,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I'm tempted to say Frank Sinatra,
0:05:47 > 0:05:48so that'll be my answer.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50You see how they work? He's just
0:05:50 > 0:05:53deciding which one of them is not alive any more. That...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55That is the brilliant logic.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Frank Sinatra is the right answer.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01OK, Babita, your second question.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03"I walked across an empty land,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06"I knew the pathway like the back of my hand."
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Are the opening lyrics to which song?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Is this...
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I think I know the answer.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Please be right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Somewhere Only We Know, by Keane.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Somewhere Only We Know by Keane is correct.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Yes!- Yes!
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Goodness knows how Karma Police starts, but it's not that.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Steve, you've got the third question now.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Justin Bieber's 2015 UK hit single Love Yourself
0:06:39 > 0:06:44was co-written with Benny Blanco and which other singer?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Well, I could conceivably go wrong on this, because I don't know,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53but I do know that Ed Sheeran has
0:06:53 > 0:06:55written some stuff with Justin Bieber,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58and he tends to write for a lot of people.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01So on the basis of that, we'll say it's Ed Sheeran.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Ed Sheeran is correct.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Well done. Great song.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Great songwriter. OK, Babita.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Bit of pressure now. Because you let him go first.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Get this right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Get it wrong...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14And you will be in the sin bin.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Here's your question. Which composer famously wrote a ballet to be
0:07:18 > 0:07:23performed by elephants and another about a game of poker?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Which composer?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I'm going to go for a complete guess.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37And go for...
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Igor Stravinsky.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Eggheads?- Well, Stravinsky wrote ballets...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Yes.- Not sure the other two did.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49No-one is completely certain.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50But you are right, Babita.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Yes!- Well done. It is Igor Stravinsky.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Playing well, newshounds.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58All right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59It gets a bit harder, as you know.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I don't give you alternative answers.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Your question, Sudden Death.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Which work by George Gershwin is set in Catfish Row in South Carolina?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Porgy and Bess.- Porgy and Bess is right.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Babita, Marilyn Monroe and Shoes Upon The Table are songs from which
0:08:17 > 0:08:18long-running musical
0:08:18 > 0:08:24first professionally performed in Liverpool in 1983?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I can name a lot of musicals, but they don't seem to fit,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and all the ones that are coming to mind are, like, Phantom of the Opera,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Miss Saigon, and none of those...
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Mary Poppins, I'm thinking Marilyn Monroe, Shoes On The Table,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38and it's got to be...
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Oh...
0:08:41 > 0:08:44What's wrong with me? Why can I not think?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Some Like It Hot.- OK.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's not that. Let me see whether the challengers know.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Challengers? - We have an answer, yeah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Do you want to tell me? - I think Liverpool is the key.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Yeah.- Willy Russell. Liverpool.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Go on.- Blood Brothers.- Blood Brothers...- Aw!- ..is the answer.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I just went to see that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Did you?- Yes!- No!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Retrospectively, Jeremy, come on now!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- No, seriously...- I did!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Oh, no.- Aawww...
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Sorry, Babita.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Steve has won through. Steve has knocked you out.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Steve will be in the final.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Please return to us, both of you, and we'll play the next round.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22So the Ron Burgundys have lost a brain from the final round.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24The Eggheads have not lost any yet.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26But I know they feel it coming.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31The next subject is Science.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Who would like this?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- Oh, no! No-one wants this.- Come on.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36There must be a scientist there.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Charlie?- Well, look, the agreement we had, which is I think a really
0:09:39 > 0:09:41bad agreement, but I sort of put
0:09:41 > 0:09:44forward the idea that any subject that no-one else wanted...
0:09:44 > 0:09:45It was going to come to me.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- OK. All right.- And science was one of them.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Yeah.- And you are team captain.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- It was one of the 10.- Anyone who knows me will know this is very,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54very bad. But there you go.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Charlie from the Ron Burgundys versus who?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'm going to go for Judith,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02purely on the basis that she's been kind of giving me a weird look.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05And I don't know what it's about,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07but I think we just need to get it sorted out.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- It's just very...- Well, let's go and sort it out.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11She's psyching you out, man. Psyching you out.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14That is what she does. She pretends to be a bit absent, and then bang!
0:10:14 > 0:10:15She's on it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18So, Charlie from the Ron Burgundys plays the legendary Judith.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Can I call you that?- Oh, do, Jeremy.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23From the Eggheads. Please go to the question room now.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Charlie, I should ask about the team name, the Ron Burgundys.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29What do you think of the name, Jeremy?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It made me laugh. And even as I said it at the start,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I noticed all your team laughed as well,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35so you were enjoying your own joke.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Well, you see, the thing is, I think the theory was that people,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I think in the news business, as you probably know, Jeremy,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44they can take themselves quite seriously sometimes.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48So it was our nod to the fact that, you know, it's not that serious.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49For those who don't know,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Ron Burgundy was this fictional character in a film,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55played by Will Ferrell, and the film was Anchorman, and it is very funny, Charlie.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56It's a very funny film,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and the wonderful thing about Will Ferrell, of course,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01was in that performance as Anchorman,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04masses of confidence but he was absolutely hopeless,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06which was the joy of the whole thing, really.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Science, Charlie. Do you want to go first or second?
0:11:08 > 0:11:09I'll go first.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Here is your first question. Good luck, Charlie.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19A geologist would typically be an expert in which of these subject areas?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I will go for rocks.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29A geologist is an expert in rocks. You're right.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Judith, by what name are meteors commonly known?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Meteors. That's shooting stars, aren't they?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Yes, they are shooting stars.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Well done.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Back to you, Charlie. In which century was the astronomer Edwin Hubble born?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53OK, so I'm thinking... Immediately I'm thinking,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56probably like a lot of people, the Hubble telescope.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I'm thinking early but not that early,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02so I'm going to plump for the 17th.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Let's see. If Kevin was here, he'd
0:12:04 > 0:12:07give us the birth and the death year. Can anyone do that?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08- No.- Can you do that?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10No, I can only... He's from the 19th-century,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12but I can't give the exact years.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15OK. 19th-century, Charlie.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Bit later than we thought.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Judith, your question.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23The scientist Louis Pasteur is best known for his work in which field?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Pasteurising.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Um... I suppose that is Microbiology.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Germs. He's good at germs, wasn't he?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Microbiology is quite right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Yes, germs... Yes, exactly.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Microbiology is right.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I know you knew that, Charlie.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Well, do you know, you...
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I don't know if you are saying that seriously, Jeremy.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47But I think I did know that answer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50No, but I knew you knew it. I just thought you are having that thought
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- of, "Oh, I wish I had that one." - Yeah, I was actually.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54But it's very sporting of you not to say it.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- Yeah.- OK. What name is given to the Northern boreal forest regions of
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Eurasia and North America that are thought to occupy about 17%
0:13:03 > 0:13:05of the land area of the world?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08And boreal we're spelling B-O-R-E-A-L, just so you know.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15So, as I look at those three words, Jeremy,
0:13:15 > 0:13:20the truth is I can only recall ever seeing one of them ever before.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Which is Tundra.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27And I can't think of any... I can't think of any language issues or...
0:13:27 > 0:13:31..or clues elsewhere.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33So I'm going to have to go with Tundra.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Any Eggheads know this?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37It's Taiga.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Taiga. Why is it taiga?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It's just the enormous birch forest,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- conifers that stretch halfway around the world.- OK.- The steppes are
0:13:44 > 0:13:47treeless and the tundra is sort of grass and ice, so...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50So Pat says steppes are treeless and the tundra is grass and ice,
0:13:50 > 0:13:54and it is Taiga, Charlie, is the correct answer.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Oh, Judith, that means you are through.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58There's no way back for Charlie here.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00So you are in the final round, Judith.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Oh!- Sorry, team captain, you've been knocked out.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Please return and rejoin your team-mates.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10So, as it stands, the Ron Burgundys have lost a second brain from the
0:14:10 > 0:14:12final round, and it is the captain as well.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13The Eggheads are all still sitting there,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15looking a little bit too confident.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Time to take them down a peg or two.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18The next subject is Politics.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Oh, now, it's going to be a fight now, isn't it?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Clive? It's got your name on it.- OK.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27OK, Clive. This is yours.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Against whom?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31And you can have Pat, Beth or Lisa?
0:14:31 > 0:14:32I'm feeling Beth.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33- Yeah.- Um, Beth?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35If that's at all possible?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Yes, sure. Clive from the Ron Burgundys is taking on Beth from the
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Eggheads on Politics. Let's see if the tide turns now.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Please go to the question room.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Good luck. Up against Beth, again one of our new Eggheads,
0:14:48 > 0:14:49and Clive you can go first or second.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I'm going to go first.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Right, here we go with your first question, Clive.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Good luck. What term is used in an election to describe ballot papers
0:15:01 > 0:15:04that have been filled in incorrectly?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Well, if you are burning ballots, that is arson,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14that's pretty serious.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I don't think it is ripped ballots.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17I'm going to go for spoiled ballots.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Spoiled ballots is quite right.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Well done. Beth, your question.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Which of these countries has been ruled by a
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Communist government for over 50 years?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Um... Communist... I'm hoping that's Cuba.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38It is indeed Cuba.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40OK, Clive, you've been to Cuba, Clive?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41I have. I have.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Lovely country.- Since Castro or...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- during?- No, no, no, this was during Castro.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49This was 1998, 1999.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Here is your question. Which of these countries, Clive,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55is not a member of the European Union?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Well, France is certainly part of the European Union.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It is one of the founding members.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Italy certainly is a member,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09so I will pluck for Russia.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Yes. I'm glad you got that right.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Although...
0:16:15 > 0:16:17we put the UK in there, it might have been a difficult one.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19That would have been tough.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Beth, your second. In which year did
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Screaming Lord Sutch first stand for
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Parliament as a candidate for the Monster Raving Loony Party?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I'm not sure he would have been old enough...
0:16:36 > 0:16:40possibly for '53. 2003, no,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43he was around before then. I'll go for 1983.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Yes, absolutely. 1983.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Two each.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51And back to you, Clive. Get this one right, this is...
0:16:51 > 0:16:52This may be important.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55What was the occupation of Theresa May's father?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Now, Theresa May...
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I'm not feeling Anglican minister.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12A financial consultant or chemist?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'm going to go for chemist.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I'm going to check with your colleagues.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Martine?- No, Anglican minister.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23The middle one.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24It's Anglican minister, Clive.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Oh! The thing I wasn't feeling.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Argh!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Beth, your question, you can take the round with this.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38What medical condition prevented Donald Trump from serving in the US Army in the Vietnam War?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I thought this was something to do with his feet.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49And therefore the only thing that could probably...
0:17:49 > 0:17:51heel spurs so...
0:17:51 > 0:17:52I think it's bone spurs.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56You are in the final, there. Well done. Bone spurs it is. Three out of
0:17:56 > 0:17:58three. Clive, sorry, they are playing well today.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- No worries. Well done, Beth. - I must apologise.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Have you even got a question wrong yet, Eggheads?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04No, that's Kirsty for the next one, isn't it?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- I don't know if you have. - That's a jinx.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Oh, sorry, I'm always blamed for jinxing them.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11But, Clive, you've been beaten by our Egghead, I'm afraid,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14and knocked out. It's looking tricky but not impossible for our
0:18:14 > 0:18:18brilliant Ron Burgundys. Rejoin your teams, one more round to play.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23As it stands, the Ron Burgundys have lost three brains from the final round.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25The Eggheads are still sitting there,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27they're just sort of having a routine day.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29As far as they are concerned, you've got to take them down.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Surprise them. It's Sport now.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Oh, no!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35This is a disaster.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Don't worry.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40The two people who really shouldn't be answering sport.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- We know nothing about sport. - You'll have to toss a coin for this.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45How much less about sport do I know than you?
0:18:45 > 0:18:46That is the question.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- I'm really bad on sport. - Shall I have a go?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- OK.- Yeah. Go on.- Take one for the team.- Go one.- Go on, Martine.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Listen, so we're going for Lisa or Pat now.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Who doesn't watch sport very much?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I think I'm going to pick Lisa, Jeremy.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Martine from the Ron Burgundys versus our own Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Are you ready for this, Lisa?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09That was Martine's first right answer, because the gulf between
0:19:09 > 0:19:10what Pat knows about sport and what I know about
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- sport is this big.- OK.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Good.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16So she says.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18You've still got to face Pat in the final.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Please go to the question room.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Martine, how did this happen?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I don't know. This is the worst thing that could have happened.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Sport, Martine, do you want to go first or second?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29First, please.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Here we go. Good luck.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Who officially succeeded Sam Allardyce
0:19:37 > 0:19:40as England football manager in November 2016?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I know it's not David Platt.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49I don't think it's Stuart Pearce.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's a kind of a semi-guess.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Gareth Southgate.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Yes, you've got it right. Well done. Gareth Southgate.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Lisa. In tennis,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05what is called when a serve clips the top of the net
0:20:05 > 0:20:10but still lands correctly in the court? Lisa, is it...?
0:20:13 > 0:20:14That's a let.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15That is a let.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Back to you, Martine.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20In which year did Phil "The Power" Taylor
0:20:20 > 0:20:22become a world darts champion for the first time
0:20:22 > 0:20:24by taking the BDO title?
0:20:29 > 0:20:33He's a name that I'd been aware of only more recently,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36not that I'm a regular darts follower.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I'm going to go for 2010.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Lisa, do you know?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I probably would have gone 1990.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Yeah, 1990 is the answer.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44That far back.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I-I beg his pardon.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49There we go. 1990. That's actually a really interesting question,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I would never have gone back that far.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53OK, Lisa, to take the lead, your second question.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Which of these sportsmen announced
0:20:55 > 0:20:59his shock retirement from competition in December 2016?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I think Novak Djokovic has definitely got unfinished business
0:21:08 > 0:21:09on the tennis court,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11and Ronnie's still playing -
0:21:11 > 0:21:14it was Nico Rosberg, after he won the world title.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Nico Rosberg is quite right.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18OK, so,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21third question to you, Martine.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The world champion boxer Ricky Burns was born in which country?
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Ricky Burns.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Oh, dear.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38I'm just going to go with his surname. Burns.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42I'm going to say Scotland.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Scotland. Does your team know?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I think it's Northern Ireland.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49You think it's Northern Ireland. Lisa?
0:21:49 > 0:21:50- I actually don't know.- Ah!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Ooh! - OK, well, we'll go to the Oracle.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Pat?- Well, I, initially, was very bullish on Scotland,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56but I'm now wondering about Northern Ireland.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I thought I saw Sally shake her head, there.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Is it...?- It is Scotland.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Is it?- Ooh!
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Well, just as well I wasn't chosen for that. Well done.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I'm not out of the woods yet, though, am I?
0:22:08 > 0:22:09No, not out of the woods, but let's see.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13If Lisa gets this right, you will be knocked out, but she may not.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Lisa, in 2016,
0:22:14 > 0:22:18the Australian Wayne Bennett became the coach of the England team
0:22:18 > 0:22:20in which sport?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Oh, Lisa, you know this. Come on.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28It's the fact I think I know it
0:22:28 > 0:22:31that would make me think it was probably rugby league, but...
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I don't pay that much attention to the other two.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I think I'll try rugby league.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43The answer is rugby league.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Well done, Lisa. You've taken the round again.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I'm sorry - they're playing so well, news people.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50What can I say? I'm actually... I'm very sorry about this.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53They are playing out of their socks here, these Eggheads.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Lisa's in the final.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Trouble for the Ron Burgundys.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Return to us, please, and we'll see what happens next.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03So, all very exciting in this celebrity edition,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05and this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07It is final round time.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09As always, General Knowledge -
0:23:09 > 0:23:11but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:23:11 > 0:23:13are not allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16So, all from the Challengers' side, Charlie, Babita,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Martine and Clive from the Ron Burgundys,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Sally, what can I say?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26What can I say?!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29You are playing to win £3,000, Sally.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Lisa, Steve, Pat, Beth and Judith,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn -
0:23:38 > 0:23:40this time they are all General Knowledge,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43So, Sally, the question is,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47is your one brain able to take down these five in a famous victory?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Oh...second.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57And here is your first question, Eggheads.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Here we go. Final round.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00In 2009,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04a pilot named Chesley Sullenberger made an emergency landing
0:24:04 > 0:24:08of a passenger plane into which American River?
0:24:11 > 0:24:12- Hudson.- It's the Hudson.- Hudson.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Yeah.- You happy with that? Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17He had just taken off from a New York airport
0:24:17 > 0:24:20and he had to put the plane down in the Hudson.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Hudson is quite right.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Film about it, isn't there?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Yes. Sully.- I've flown it, too.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- You've flown...- I went on a simulator at Farnborough,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33and one of the treats was,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36he said, "Do you want to do Sully's flight?"
0:24:36 > 0:24:40So I flew the plane, and crashed, like a...
0:24:40 > 0:24:41In very dramatic fashion.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I hear they tried to fly it again with a simulator
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- when they were doing the investigation...- Yeah.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47..and lots of people couldn't do it.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Yeah, you can't... It's very difficult.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Hudson is correct, Eggheads.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Here we go, Sally.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57What do entomophagous creatures eat?
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Entomophagous is E-N-T-O-M-O-P-H-A-G-O-U-S.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Entomophagous.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12Well, I'm thinking that an entomologist would study insects.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Is that right? So...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I'll go for insects.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Insects is the right answer.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Superb.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- How about that?- One!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Sally Magnusson playing the Eggheads.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Here we are. What about this?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Eggheads, your question. Which magazine, first published in 1841,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34was originally subtitled The London Charivari?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Punch?- Punch.- It was Punch.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- I think it's Punch.- Yeah. - Wisden's always been cricket.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Yeah, that's Punch.- Yes. - The London Charivari.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49We think that's Punch.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Punch is the right answer.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55That's a shame, cos I thought there was just a chance
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- that they wouldn't know that.- Yeah, and there was a chance I did, too.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Oh, you knew that?- Yeah. - Oh, Sally, OK.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Your question. Who plays the role of Aurora Lane
0:26:04 > 0:26:07in the 2016 science fiction film Passengers?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Oh, I don't know. I don't know the film.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I'm going to try for Amy Adams.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I have no idea, though.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Shall I check with your colleagues?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Colleagues? - We think Jennifer Lawrence.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Yeah.- It is Jennifer Lawrence.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35I'm really sorry. The only...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I was going to say, visualise the film poster,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40because I think she's in... Isn't that right, Clive? She's...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- there's quite a big picture of Jennifer...- Yeah.- ..in it -
0:26:43 > 0:26:44but what can I say, Sally?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- It is a tough old question, that. - Mm.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Eggheads, you have a chance to take the contest,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50because Sally let you go first.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Let's hope, here, Sally.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Which man has scored more tries for the Wales rugby union team
0:26:56 > 0:26:57than any other player?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Shane Williams?- Well, he certainly was the record-holder for some time.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Who is it?- He's just retired, hasn't he, not long back?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Yeah.- Who, Gareth Thomas? - No, Shane Williams.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Shane Williams... - Was the record-holder.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- I'm sure it's him. - So who could have overtaken him?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15I don't think it's Gareth Thomas.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Last year, I think he packed up.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I'd have said Shane Williams.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21He absolutely, definitely has held the record.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Yeah. He were when he retired.- Yeah.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24So, unless he's been passed...
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Unless Sam Warburton has put on a tremendous burst of speed.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Gareth Thomas had finished before... - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Are we happy with Shane Williams?
0:27:32 > 0:27:33- Yeah.- Yes.- Happy with that?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Yes.- That's Shane Williams.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39If it's right,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41the Eggheads have beaten the Ron Burgundys.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Have you got a question wrong in this whole game, Eggheads?
0:27:46 > 0:27:47In the whole contest?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49You know the stats.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Shane Williams is the right answer. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53You have won.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Well, honestly, it's not often -
0:27:59 > 0:28:02you correct me if I'm wrong here, Eggs -
0:28:02 > 0:28:05that they get not a single answer wrong.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I know. I should have gone first. Why did I go second?
0:28:07 > 0:28:08Did you know the rugby question there?
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- I would have gone for Shane Williams.- Would you?- Yeah.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Eggheads, well done.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- He said, through gritted teeth. - We can see that!
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Commiserations, Ron Burgundys.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20They reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24It means that the £3,000 doesn't go to the news team here,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26so we're going to roll the money over -
0:28:26 > 0:28:29and, at some point, a celebrity team will win it for their charity.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Eggheads, congratulations. Playing well today -
0:28:32 > 0:28:35rare to have you not slip up on a single question, I must say.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:38 > 0:28:39have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42There'll be £4,000 to play for.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Until then, goodbye.
