0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably 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 > 0:00:34Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Hoping for victory against our quiz geniuses today are...
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Now, the majority of this team are former
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and current ParalympicsGB and Team GB athletes,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48who can regularly be found sharing their expertise as sports reporters
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and presenters. To complete the quintet,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53they've been joined by a current member
0:00:53 > 0:00:58of ParalympicsGB's archery squad, who competed in Rio 2016.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Let's meet them.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I'm Iwan Thomas, television presenter, former athlete.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04In fact, still hold the British record over 400 metres
0:01:04 > 0:01:07for 20 years, which makes me feel very old, and I've no doubt
0:01:07 > 0:01:11by the time I leave here today I'll also feel very stupid.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I'm Tania Nadarajah. I competed at the 2016 Paralympic Games
0:01:15 > 0:01:18as an archer, and I can normally be found sitting in a field somewhere
0:01:18 > 0:01:21shooting arrows at a target 70 metres away.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Hi, I'm Sean Rose, winter Paralympian
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and World Cup downhill gold-medal skier.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Nowadays I'm a reporter and adventurer,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30but I think it's going to be all downhill today!
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Hi, my name's Martine Wright, and I'm a TV presenter and reporter.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38But most of the time, you will find me rolling about on the floor,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42as I'm captain of the Great Britain sitting volleyball team.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Hi, my name's Steve Brown. I'm a TV reporter,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and I was captain at London 2012 for the wheelchair rugby team.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Hoping the wheels don't fall off today!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51So, Iwan and team, hello.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- ALL:- Hello. - Great to see you all.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Iwan, we've of course met before.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Yeah.- We had a little dance-floor moment.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- A little rendezvous.- Yeah, we did. - Mine didn't last as long as yours, though.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Well, you know, I remember the first time we all met...
0:02:04 > 0:02:05We'd meet in a secret room for Strictly,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08and we were both thinking, "Oh, dear!"
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I'm feeling the same today!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Of course, you've taken part in Celebrity Eggheads before.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, is there a subject that you would love to be quizzed on, Iwan?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I'm going to say Sport, because there's a bit of revenge in the air for me, Judith over there.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I lost before on Sport, so if it comes up,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I'd love to take that title back from you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26You won it fair and square!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29We do mention Judith's great historical successes -
0:02:29 > 0:02:32to beat a rocket scientist on Science,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35to beat a politician, which was Edwina, on Politics,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37and then a sportsman on Sport.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Yes.- But I think it might be undone today.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Not quite a gold medal!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Good luck, Challengers.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:45 > 0:02:47for our Challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51that prize money rolls on to the next show.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56So, thus far we have not seen a celebrity team win, Gift Of The Gab,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58which means the Eggheads have won the last three,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01so there's £4,000 for you to play for today.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Would you like to start? - Yes, please.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I thought so - these competitive people we've got here.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09So, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV
0:03:09 > 0:03:12and you can choose between Judith, Chris, Pat,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Steve and Lisa.- Right. Who wants to take it?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- You do that?- Well, Sport may come up, but it may not come up.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21If I don't take Sport, you guys are good at Sport...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23No, we need you for Sport.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- I'll take the Film & TV. - I'm pretty good at Film & TV.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Do I want it? Yes, yes, yes. Go on, then!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Go on. All right.- First in. - So, Martine from Gift Of The Gab
0:03:32 > 0:03:34is going to play... Now, which Egghead?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- They're all good, aren't they? - You're not going to go,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- "That one's an easy one."- Yeah, like someone that's not an Egghead!
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Chris. We'll say Chris. - That's not a bad one, actually,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46cos the last film Chris saw was Blazing Saddles!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49It's the last film I REMEMBER seeing in a cinema, yeah.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Yeah, exactly. So, Martine from...
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Everyone thinks it's a joke when I say that - it's actually true!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- It's not far off the truth, no. - Yeah, I know!
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Martine from Gift Of The Gab versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in our legendary Question Room.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06So, Martine, we're on Film & TV -
0:04:06 > 0:04:07would you like to go first or second?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I will go first, Jeremy, if that's OK.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15So, here we go, Martine. Good luck.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Who announced in September 2015 that he would be stepping down
0:04:19 > 0:04:23as presenter of the TV show BBC Breakfast after nearly 15 years?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Ben Shephard is on ITV,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34so he's nothing to do with the BBC News.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Dan Walker is one of the presenters,
0:04:37 > 0:04:42and the new presenter, I think, on the BBC News.
0:04:42 > 0:04:49So I think it might be the lovely Bill Turnbull.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Bill Turnbull.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I'm going to check with Iwan, who's been on that show a lot. Iwan?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- 100% correct. - 100% correct. Well done, Martine.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59First one to you. Chris, your question.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04The 1992 film White Men Can't Jump centres on which sport?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11That is basketball, Jeremy.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Basketball is the right answer. Well done.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Martine...
0:05:16 > 0:05:19"The sound of hoof beats cross the glade
0:05:19 > 0:05:22"Good folk, lock up your son and daughter
0:05:22 > 0:05:24"Beware the deadly flashing blade,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26"Unless you want to end up shorter..."
0:05:26 > 0:05:31were the first lines to the closing theme tune of which comedy series?
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Martine, was this...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I'm guessing, but I don't think it's Monty Python.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Erm...
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Red Dwarf is coming out at me, but...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I know the theme tune to Blackadder, so...
0:05:47 > 0:05:51# Blackadder, Blackadder... #
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Er...I think...
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Blackadder.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Oh, I'm so glad you said that! Yes, it is. Cos you...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- horrified your team by saying you'd got Red Dwarf...- Oh, really?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Are they all... Sorry, guys! - They were thinking, "Hang on,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- "she's going for the wrong one!" - False sense of security there.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I like the way you just played them like that.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10OK, it is Blackadder, yeah, cos the blade,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- I guess, the sword...- Yes. - That's the only one with a sword in.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15You probably like Blackadder, Chris, do you?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Yeah.- The original Black Adder, that that's the theme tune from, yeah,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20where he was a snivelling incompetent,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24rather than what he became in Blackadder II, III and Goes Forth.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So, Martine was saying she knows the theme tune and it's not that,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- but this is right at the first series, Chris?- Yeah.- I see.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33# The sound of hoof beats through the glade
0:06:33 > 0:06:36# Good folk, lock up your sons and daughters
0:06:36 > 0:06:39# Beware the deadly flashing blade
0:06:39 > 0:06:42# Unless you want to end up shorter. #
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Very good, very good! - Very good, Chris!
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Here's your question, Chris.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49In 2016, who replaced Stephen Fry
0:06:49 > 0:06:52as the host of the long-running TV programme QI?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Well, they're all regulars on it,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59but Stephen Fry was replaced as host by Sandi Toksvig.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Sandi Toksvig is the right answer, Chris. Well done.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06They are playing rather well at the moment, the Eggheads,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08over the last few games, Martine. So, obviously,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- I apologise for that.- It's OK!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Just keep plugging away, here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17The 2015 film Carol, starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19is based on a novel by which writer?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24SHE WHISTLES
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Erm...I haven't seen the film...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31and I definitely haven't read the book.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36Annie...is jumping out at me, for some reason.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Erm...
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I'm going to go for Annie, Annie Proulx.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Annie Proulx. Is Annie Proulx the answer, Eggheads?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- No.- No? Who is it, Lisa?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Patricia Highsmith.- Patricia Highsmith is the answer, Martine.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Sorry, team!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Chris has the chance to take the round now.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Who plays the role of Walter Sobchak
0:07:57 > 0:08:00in the Coen Brothers film The Big Lebowski?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Ah, The Big Lebow...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Now, he's the overweight chap, isn't he?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11So it's John Goodman.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- I see.- Mm-hm.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15If you're right, you've taken the round.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18The correct answer is John Goodman. Well done, Chris.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22You've got it right. Sorry Martine, one little slip there and,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- you know, they get in.- Yeah. - So, Chris will be in the final.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27You've been knocked out, but it's early days for our Challengers.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Return to us and we'll play round two.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So, Gift Of The Gab have lost one brain from the final round -
0:08:33 > 0:08:36they've lost Martine. The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Underline "so" and "far".
0:08:38 > 0:08:40The next subject for you is Science.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Athletes...
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- who wants this? - It's got to be you, Stevie!- Oh!
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- We discussed it.- The lesser of the evils.- We discussed it earlier. - OK, this is in the plan?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Yeah, after discussions, but I'm hoping it goes more
0:08:52 > 0:08:55science and nature than science and astrology.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57So, who would you like to take on?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I was going to say we're reserving Judith for Iwan, but we don't know that Sport's coming up, remember.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03No, but just in case Sport does come up, Iwan,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think I'll leave Judith there for you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'll take Steve with me, I think, please.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11OK, one of our newer Eggheads.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12This is going to be fun - two Steves,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15one from Gift Of The Gab and one from the Eggheads.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Please take your positions, gentlemen.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Steve, wheelchair rugby is your sport.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Yeah, it's a full-contact sport,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25where we go round knocking each other out of wheelchairs.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Now, don't try that at home, you know.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29But when you're playing wheelchair rugby, it's fine.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33And I came quite bad with an injury to the chest,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35where I broke my sternum and some ribs,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37and I spent quite a lot of time in hospital with that.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39But fully recovered now.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Great stuff, Steve. You're playing the Egghead Steve on Science. Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Jeremy, I'll go first, please.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Here we go. Which of these is a group of muscles
0:09:51 > 0:09:54located at the back of the human knee?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Well, from what I understand,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05deltoids are much further up through your body
0:10:05 > 0:10:09and the pectorals are all at the front of your body.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Hamstrings run down through the back of your legs,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14so I'm hoping I'm right with hamstring.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Hamstring is absolutely the right answer.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Well done. First point to you.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Egghead Steve, your question...
0:10:20 > 0:10:26In 1976, Richard Dawkins published his first book, The Selfish...
0:10:29 > 0:10:30That's Gene, Jeremy.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32The Selfish Gene is quite right.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Back to you, Challenger Steve.
0:10:34 > 0:10:40COBOL, FORTRAN and ALGOL are all examples of what?
0:10:40 > 0:10:41They're all capitalised.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43C-O-B-O-L,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and then F-O-R-T-R-A-N,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and then A-L-G-O-L. OK?
0:10:52 > 0:10:58Well, I'm looking at the answers and I'd be expecting things like HTML
0:10:58 > 0:11:01to come out if we were talking about computer languages.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I don't think there're going to be Asian rodents.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I don't think they'd have many letters in them
0:11:07 > 0:11:11to have an acronym like that. So I'm hoping that it's going to be
0:11:11 > 0:11:14weather systems. But my knowledge of weather systems
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- is very, very slight. - OK. Weather systems.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Now, we do actually have a computer engineer here on the Eggheads team.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Pat, can you help us here? Cos you love your IT.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I do. I've never written in ALGOL,
0:11:25 > 0:11:29but I've written lots of code in COBOL and FORTRAN.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Yeah, Pat has written code in COBOL and FORTRAN.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It is computer languages, Steve.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37There we go. Pat knows his computers back to front.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39He takes them apart, puts them back together, don't you?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Motherboards.- It's easier to take apart than put back together,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I can assure you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50OK, Steve, the Egghead. Your question to take the lead.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Which country granted Albert Einstein citizenship in 1940?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Well, seeing as he was working there at the time,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I would imagine it's the USA, Jeremy.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Indeed, the USA.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05All right, Steve Challenger.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Now, he's got two, Steve, you've got one,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09so you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14The Hainan gibbon, thought to be the world's rarest ape,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16is native to which country?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27OK. If the question was phrased slightly differently
0:12:27 > 0:12:29and you asked me what was one of the rarest gibbons,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I'd have told you it was a Hainan.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33But where they're from...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I don't think that it's Japan.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'm hoping it's not Japan,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Gibbons... Let's have a look.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I think I'm going to go with Indonesia.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- China is the answer, Steve.- Is it?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51You'd heard of the Hainan Gibbon, which most people haven't.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54So I'm sorry - that was very, very tight.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58And unlucky there but it means that the other Steve, the Egghead Steve,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00is through to the final round.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04So, come back to us, return to your teams, and we'll play round three.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09So, Gift Of The Gab have lost two brains now from the final round.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12I know how competitive you are.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I know you will be wanting revenge.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Now is the moment. The subject is Music.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19THEY EXCLAIM
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Music. Who wants this?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I think... You were good at music...
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You were a classical...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- pianist?- You've studied classical music.- OK.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- We know who's doing music. - Looks like it's me, then.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- It's got to be done.- All right.- It's me.- Tania, against which Egghead?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Obviously can't be Steve or Chris.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Pat... - THEY CONFER
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Pat's good at everything. Pat's good at everything.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Pat's crib sheet was like that - he's won everything.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Yeah, OK. That's a good point.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm going to go for Lisa, I think.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49My crib sheet's a lot shorter, isn't it?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54OK, Tania from Gift Of The Gab versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55To ensure there's no conferring,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02So, Tania, it's archery and it was archery in 2016 at Rio.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04It was indeed, yes.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Fantastic. What's the thrill of archery?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Anyone can do it, no matter what your ability,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14disability, so it's just a really great and fun sport to be involved with.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Yeah, I did it at school. Not very well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Lisa, have you ever arched?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20No, no. I'm very worried about this, to be honest.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I feel like antagonising a woman who is a crack shot with a bow
0:14:23 > 0:14:25is not really very sensible.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27All right, well, arrows on target here, I hope.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Music, Tania. Do you want to go first or second?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I think I will go first, please.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38OK. Here we go, Tania, with your first question.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Good luck. The English rapper known as Professor Green
0:14:42 > 0:14:43was born in which city?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Erm... well, I've heard him speak
0:14:50 > 0:14:54And I don't think he's Northern,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57so I'm going to go with London.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00You're absolutely right. London it is. Well done.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Lisa, Riff and Bernardo
0:15:04 > 0:15:08are leaders of rival gangs in which popular stage musical?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13That's West Side Story.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15West Side Story is quite right.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Back to you, Tania. What was the name of
0:15:17 > 0:15:20the Irish group that found fame in the 1990s,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24consisting of siblings Sharon, Andrea, Caroline and Jim?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Now, this name popped into my head when you asked the question and just
0:15:32 > 0:15:33before I saw the answers,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36so I'm going to go with my instinct and say The Corrs.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Indeed, The Corrs.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Your colleagues liked that.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Lisa, over to you.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44"You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar..."
0:15:44 > 0:15:47are the opening lyrics to which Doors song?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55You know that it would be untrue, you know that I would be a liar...
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Yes.- ..if I was to say to you either of the other two answers,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00because it's Light My Fire.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Light My Fire is correct, Lisa.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04OK, so, we're two each.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06This can be crucial.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Tania, your colleagues have come unstuck here.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Let's get this one right.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Which of these James Bond theme tunes was a duet?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22So, Die Another Day...
0:16:22 > 0:16:26..I think...was Madonna.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Tomorrow Never Dies...
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I'm going to take a guess on this one
0:16:31 > 0:16:33and I'm going to say Another Way To Die.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- OK. Let's ask the Eggheads here. Eggs?- She's right.- You're right.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Another Way To Die is the right answer. OK.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Who sang it, Lisa, do you know? - Jack White and Alicia Keys.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Uh-huh. OK.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Let's see if you stay in now.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Third question to you, Lisa.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Which of these jazz musicians is best known for his expertise
0:16:53 > 0:16:55on the saxophone?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02See, we haven't got a question wrong in, like, six head to heads.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Now it's going to happen.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07OK. Er... Oh, this is terrible.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I really ought to know this.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Bother!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I didn't think Thelonious Monk was an instrumentalist.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Erm... I don't know anything about Sonny Rollins.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23I don't know whether that makes him
0:17:23 > 0:17:25more or less likely to be the answer.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Let's try Charles Mingus. I don't know.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31The answer is Sonny Rollins.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32You've been knocked out, Lisa.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- That's all right.- Well done, Tania.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Yes!- Lisa's right - that's the first question
0:17:37 > 0:17:39the Eggheads have got wrong, I feel,
0:17:39 > 0:17:40in quite a number of games, actually.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Tania, well done. You're right through to the final round.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45That's good news for our Challengers here.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Bad news for the Eggheads, but it was coming.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Come back to us and we've got one more round to play.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54So, as it stands, Gift Of The Gab have lost two brains
0:17:54 > 0:17:57from the final round but they've struck back,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00as we were anticipating, and they've taken out an Egghead.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03So, this could be a really important round, and it is Sport.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Oh...- Yay!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I think we know what's going to happen here.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- I best take it.- OK. I think maybe there's a little bit
0:18:10 > 0:18:12of score-settling here that needs to happen.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Iwan from Gift Of The Gab, and who would you like to take on?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- I think you know, Jeremy. - Well, you'd better say.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- She'll be so cross with me.- Judith, it'd be a pleasure to go against you again.- Bring it on!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Bring it on! THEY CHUCKLE
0:18:24 > 0:18:26My worry is, I know you've been revising a lot.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30OK. Iwan from Gift Of The Gab...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- You're so competitive!- Of course - that's what they do.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- I know - exactly. It's coming out.- They want to win.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39So, Iwan from Gift Of The Gab is playing Judith from the Eggheads
0:18:39 > 0:18:40for the second time on Sport.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43See if it works out better this time for Iwan.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Iwan, your proudest sporting moment?
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Not sitting here last time.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54No, I think the 1998 season where I became European champion,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Commonwealth champion and I won the World Cup, so...
0:18:57 > 0:19:01if I could have one moment, it was that one month of September in 1998.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Wow! And how will it compare if you beat Judith now?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I'm more nervous now than lining up for an Olympic final,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10and I truly mean that, because I have to win.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14If I lose two out of two on Sport, I'm going straight home.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16We'll never hear the end of it.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Honestly, it'll be one of those things, Judith,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20that we will never hear the end of.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23It would be a complete triumph.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Particularly cos it's Sport. - I'd be more proud of that
0:19:26 > 0:19:30than anything else I've ever done in my life, if I won.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Even more than the £1 million you won?- Well, perhaps not.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- OK, Iwan. First or second on Sport? - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Good luck, my friend.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Here we go. The Olympic Games were originally
0:19:45 > 0:19:48a sporting festival where?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52They were in Greece.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Yes, Greece it is.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Judith, on to you.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Can see how serious he is now, Judith, can't you?- Yes!
0:19:59 > 0:20:02He's got the gimlet-eyed stare now. Here we go.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06What was the commonly used epithet of the boxer Naseem Hamed?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13For some reason, I think it's Prince Hamed.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16You're right, Judith. It is Prince Naseem Hamed.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- SHE GASPS - Phew!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You're competitive now, as well.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- You're telling me!- Look at this! - I am definitely competitive.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26OK, Iwan. Which of these
0:20:26 > 0:20:29sporting events traditionally takes place earliest in the calendar year?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37FA Cup final's towards the end of the season.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Wimbledon's...
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I'm going to go... I should know.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I'm going to go Grand National.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Grand National's quite right.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Two out of two for you, Iwan.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Back to you, Judith.
0:20:49 > 0:20:55In which country of the UK was the golfer Lee Westwood born in 1973?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00It could be any of those.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I think I'm just going to say England.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- What do you think, Iwan? - Yeah, she's right.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08She's right again. She's dogged, isn't she?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09England is right, Judith.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Lucky!- Two out of two for you, too.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13All right, Iwan, your third question...
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I can feel the tension, and I'm not even in the room.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Usman Khawaja has played Test-match cricket for which country?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Could you spell the surname, please?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Yeah, it's K-H-A-W-A-J-A.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36OK, so my gut is saying that's South African, but I've not heard of him.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Er...doesn't sound Australian or a Kiwi to me.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44This is a guess, and I apologise to all cricket fans,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46but I will say South Africa.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- The answer is Australia.- Oh, my...!
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Oh, dear. Oh, dear!
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- This is so exciting! - I'm worried now!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Oh, goodness me. OK.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02All right. OK. Breathe.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Help!- Right. Here we go.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Judith, for the round...
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- SHE CHUCKLES - So exciting!
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The German goalkeeper Loris Karius
0:22:13 > 0:22:18joined which Premier League football club in 2016?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24I really don't know.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I think... I don't think it's Manchester United, actually.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32I'm going to say Liverpool.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Ah, man!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- I'm going home! - JUDITH CHUCKLES
0:22:38 > 0:22:40And it was a guess!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43JEREMY HOOTS WITH LAUGHTER
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Oh, God, I feel embarrassed.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Oh, dear! Oh, dear!
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Oh, dear! How funny!- Oh, goodness!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Liverpool is the right answer, Judith.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58And, Iwan, it's so funny that Sport
0:22:58 > 0:23:00is absolutely Judith's bete noire.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04So it's something about just raising her game, there.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Judith, well done. You're in the final round.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09You've done... And you can now tell this story for ever.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Iwan, do come back. - It's the best win for ever.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13It is maybe one of your best-ever wins.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15And that's a great compliment to Iwan.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- It is one of your best.- Cos it's the best win I've ever had.- Yeah.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- And totally unexpected.- OK.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24We're going to get people to fan you now, give you bath salts and stuff.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Please come back and we'll play the final round.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31What a contest! This is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:23:37 > 0:23:42to take part in this round. That's Iwan, Martine and Steve from Gift Of The Gab,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and also Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Sean, how does this compare to very-high-speed skiing?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56I'm definitely more nervous now than I was at the top of Vancouver,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00about to do an 80mph downhill run in the Paralympics.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05But, as I'm ex-Air Force and I'm not riding solo today...
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- I have my wing lady with me and I'm feeling confident.- Good stuff.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- No mercy here, OK?- None. - ..against these Eggheads.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14You're playing to win Gift Of The Gab £4,000.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19And the Eggheads - Steve, Pat, Chris, Judith - you're playing to just shore up the defences
0:24:19 > 0:24:22and maintain your reputation. I know, Judith, you feel you've done
0:24:22 > 0:24:24all the work you need to do today.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- For several days. - Never seen you in such a good mood.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34This time, the questions are all General Knowledge. You may confer.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36So, Tania and Sean, the question is,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40are your two brains ready to take down these four?
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Would you like to go first or second?
0:24:41 > 0:24:45We're going to put the pressure on the Eggheads first,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and we're going to buck the trend and go second.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54OK, good luck, Challengers. First question to the Eggheads.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Nadiya Hussain gained fame on which BBC TV show in 2015?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Bake Off.- Bake Off.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07That was the Great British Bake Off.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10The Great British Bake Off is the right answer.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Tania and Sean, your question.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire is said to be haunted by the ghost
0:25:17 > 0:25:23of which English king, since his alleged murder there in 1327?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- Gloucestershire.- How's your history?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Doesn't go back as far as 1300-something.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- Me neither.- History is definitely not my subject.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44William, for some reason, I'm just being drawn to it.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47In that case, let's go with the instinct.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I'm hoping it's William II.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I'm afraid you're wrong. Edward II is the answer.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55OK, Eggheads.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59You have a chance to go two points clear.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03The birthplace of Donald Trump's wife, Melania, is in which country?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- She's a Slovenian.- She's Slovenian.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11We'll go with that, will we?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Yes, Slovenia.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14We think that's Slovenia.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Slovenia is the right answer.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Well done.- They've gone two clear,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21so you've got to get this one right to stay in.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24In the Martin Amis novel London Fields,
0:26:24 > 0:26:29the character Keith Talent is particularly adept at which sport?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- London Fields... Do you think this is going to be...?- Yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39So...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Fields, tenpin bowling. I just don't think it's ten-pin bowling.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I feel like I want to say darts, but I don't know why.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46I was heading towards darts.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48London Fields...
0:26:49 > 0:26:51If you're thinking darts and I'm thinking darts,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- shall we just go for it? - I think, er,
