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 > 0:00:25Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 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 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Are you ready for a bit of drama here?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Absolutely.- Ah, good.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Doing their best to create a dramatic storyline
0:00:40 > 0:00:43against the Eggheads today are The Cliffhangers.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Now, everyone on this team has displayed their acting skills
0:00:46 > 0:00:50on that staple of the TV schedules, the soap opera.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53That 30-minute slice of daily high drama,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56often centred around the highs and lows of a dysfunctional family,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00led by a tyrannical matriarch.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02LAUGHTER
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Let's meet them.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hi, my name's Lisa Maxwell
0:01:05 > 0:01:09and you will have probably seen me in The Bill and as a loose woman.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I'm not really a loose woman, I was on Loose Women.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And I've been in EastEnders and Hollyoaks, too.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Hello, my name's Sean Wilson,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21probably better known for playing the character Martin Platt
0:01:21 > 0:01:24in Coronation Street for 21 years.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Now I'm the owner of an artisan cheese-making company,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30making Lancashire cheeses in a handmade style,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and I am the host of The Great Northern Cookbook.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Hello, my name's Steven Arnold,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37and I've been a professional actor for 28 years.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I'm probably best known for playing Ashley Peacock in Coronation Street.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Hi, I'm Scott Wright,
0:01:41 > 0:01:47actor, and you'll know me as playing Sam Kingston in Coronation Street.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Hi, I'm Ayden Callaghan.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51You've probably most recently seen me as Joe Roscoe in Hollyoaks
0:01:51 > 0:01:55or maybe before as Miles De Souza in Emmerdale.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56So, Lisa and team, hello.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Hello.- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Great to see you. Lisa, you are in the team captain position.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I know, it's quite intimidating, I have to be honest.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Because I think this is a very smart bunch of boys.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10No question. Have you got together and thought, OK, strengths,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12weaknesses and battle plan?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15A sort of plan, although most of us were quite reluctant
0:02:15 > 0:02:18to say we're good at anything, because we don't really want
0:02:18 > 0:02:22to get nominated for it, but we've got a few good sports people here.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Yeah, I love me sport.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Sport, TV & Film... - TV & Film for me.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Lovely.- Ayden?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Ayden... What about you, Sean? A bit of Geography?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I've got to be looking at somewhere near Food & Drink.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Food & Drink, of course, of course.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I'm good with archaeology, anthropology...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Right!- No, I'm not, I'm fibbing.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Nuclear science...- Yeah, all that.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45We had a nuclear scientist in once, didn't we?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Yeah, a rocket scientist. - We had a rocket scientist in, yeah.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49He lost, actually!
0:02:49 > 0:02:50LAUGHTER
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Ayden, what about you, what are your strengths and weaknesses?
0:02:55 > 0:02:56I don't know, none particularly.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I think I've got a fairly broad knowledge
0:02:59 > 0:03:02but it's kind of specific within each category,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04so I couldn't say I'm great at Science,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07but there's, say, space questions come up,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I'd probably back myself, but if biology or chemistry come up,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I'd be knackered.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15OK, that's often the way with General Knowledge.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18A bit of general knowledge across everything,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20as Ayden has, is actually very useful.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23That's what the Eggheads, basically, dine out on.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Because you're all actors, I'm thinking, Lisa,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27there could be some great bluffing going on here?
0:03:27 > 0:03:28You could actually front it.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Actually, I think actors can surprise people
0:03:30 > 0:03:33because we spend a lot of time waiting around on sets
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and we read lots of newspapers and books and things
0:03:36 > 0:03:39to pass the time, so hopefully that might show.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yeah, I think this does sound promising.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Good luck, Challengers.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:03:44 > 0:03:47up for grabs for our celebrities' chosen charity.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Now, Cliffhangers,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56the Eggheads have taken on nine celebrity teams and beaten them all.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Ugh!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00But I think that's good, because it means
0:04:00 > 0:04:03if it goes your way, you're going to be the first of ten.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- The bar's nice and low. - In a way, that's right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09The great thing here is, every time someone loses,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12the jackpot increases, so there's £10,000 to play for.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Oh, really?- For your charities.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16So would you like to try and win it?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- We'd love to win it. - We're going for it.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20OK, here we go. The first head-to-head battle
0:04:20 > 0:04:22is on the subject of Geography.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27And one of you needs to decide to do it against one of the Eggheads.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29So either Judith, Kevin, Beth, Dave or Lisa.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- I'll have a go.- Yeah, why don't you?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I'm going to go Lisa-to-Lisa, I think.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37What a great idea and, of course, a nightmare for the presenter as well.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39LAUGHTER
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So, Lisa from The Cliffhangers and Lisa from the Eggheads
0:04:42 > 0:04:45are going to go first into the Question Room.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53So, Lisa, Challenger, you've stepped into the breach here?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Well, I saw that none of the boys wanted to do it, really,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00so I thought I'd maybe just get one out of the way and see how we go.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Looking at your acting credits,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I don't know whether we'd call The Bill a soap opera,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08but you've had EastEnders, you've had Hollyoaks, so much going on.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Yeah, I've been acting since I was a child.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15I went to stage school, so it's something I've always done.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Then I had a bit of a spate of being a Loose Woman for a while,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21which was fun, but it's not a job.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Being a Loose Woman isn't a job,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25so you have to eventually go back and do a bit of acting
0:05:25 > 0:05:27or whatever it is you do.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Let's see how we go here on Geography, Lisa.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Your choice, would you like to go first or second?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Second, please.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41OK, so over to Lisa, the Egghead, with the first question.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44What are the Brecon Beacons in Wales?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Every time I've climbed up one of them, they've been mountains.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51They are indeed mountains.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Lisa Maxwell, Lake Superior is the largest lake on which continent?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I don't think it's Africa.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10For some reason, I was thinking of Canada, for some strange reason.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13So as America is sort of nearer to Canada,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I'm thinking it might be an American lake.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Lake Superior...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I don't think it's in Australia.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I don't know why I don't think it's in Australia.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Lake Superior...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I think it's in North America.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Let's check with the boys here.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Guys?- North America.- They absolutely agree, North America is quite right.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36OK.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Lisa Thiel, your second question.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43At its northern end, the Bosporus connects with which inland sea?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Oh, joy(!)
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I always get the Black and the Caspian mixed up, it always happens.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I think it is the Black Sea.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Let's have a little think.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I think Caspian might be a bit further up.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11But, yeah, this literally will be on my tombstone.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14"Lisa Thiel, she always got the Black and Caspian Seas mixed up."
0:07:15 > 0:07:18No, I think it is the Black Sea.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20The Black Sea is correct.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Ah, we needed that to go wrong, didn't we, Lisa?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25We did. I didn't know that at all.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28OK, here's your second question.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Our Challenger.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Necker Island, owned by Richard Branson,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34is part of which island group?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I think I know this,
0:07:42 > 0:07:47because I remember looking to see how much it would be to go there
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and I couldn't believe the price of it.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I think it's something crazy, thousands and thousands a week.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Necker...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I don't think it's in Florida,
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I don't think it's the Florida Keys, any of the Florida Keys.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Bahamas...
0:08:02 > 0:08:07No, there's like Nassau and all of that and, no,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Necker isn't one of those.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13I think it's the Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17British Virgin Islands is correct.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Well done. Lisa, your question.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Which is the northernmost of New York City's five boroughs?
0:08:28 > 0:08:33So, you have to sail up from Staten Island to get to Manhattan.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36And it is up, rather than down.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39And the Bronx is north of Manhattan.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Yes, the Bronx is north of Manhattan.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Honestly, I doubt everything I say at the moment.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I think it must be the Bronx.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It is the Bronx.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50You've got three out of three.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51So, Lisa, our Challenger,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53you must get this right to stay in.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Misr is the name used by locals for which country?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00And Misr is M-I-S-R.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Misr?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08M-I-S-R.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Well, it kind of sounds...
0:09:09 > 0:09:13It feels like there's a vowel missing somewhere.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17M-I-S-R, it could be a Greek word
0:09:17 > 0:09:18but I've never heard of it
0:09:18 > 0:09:21and I've been to Greece on holiday a few times.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Croatia, Croatian words. Croatian sounds very similar to Italian.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Misr doesn't sound like an Italian word.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28M-I-S-R.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35I think I'm going to have to go with Egypt, because I know a little bit
0:09:35 > 0:09:38more about Greece and I've never come across that word before,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40so I think it might be an Egyptian word.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Egypt is correct.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Oh, my goodness! - You're playing so well.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49So, no questions wrong so far from our Challengers, but not for the
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Eggheads, either. Three questions each, the scores are level,
0:09:53 > 0:09:54we go to Sudden Death.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Lisa - Egghead - it gets a bit harder,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I don't give you different options. Here we go.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Which Scottish island is widely known as the Queen of the Hebrides?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Hebridean Islands, come on.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Is it the Isle of Skye, Jeremy?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10No, it's the island of Islay.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Well, I'd have been a long way from that.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15OK, Lisa, for our Challengers.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Get one right, you're going to be in the final.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Shreveport is a city in which US state?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24What's the name of it again?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Shreveport, which is S-H-R-E-V-E-P-O-R-T.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Right. The only place where I know there are lots of ports,
0:10:31 > 0:10:36I'm thinking sort of on the east coast, like Boston,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Hyannis Port and other ports.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Shreve.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Is there a person called Shreve?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Is it named after Somebody Shreve?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Shreveport, in which US state?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54I'm thinking if it's east coast and sort of Boston,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Massachusetts...
0:10:58 > 0:10:59so I'm going to have to say that,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01because I can't think of anything else.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03It would be a real stab in the dark otherwise.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05So, it's Massachusetts?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- I think. - Louisiana is the right answer.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Oh!- So you're some way off, it's down the south.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Lisa, the Cribbar,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16also known as the Widow Maker, is a large wave,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18popular with daredevil surfers,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22that forms off the coast of which English county?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Go for where the majority of the surfers hang out and say Cornwall?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Cornwall is right, near Newquay.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33So, you must get this right, Lisa, our Challenger, to stay in.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Gatun Lake is an artificial lake that forms a large section
0:11:37 > 0:11:39of which man-made waterway?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Can you spell that for me? Gatum? - G-A-T-U-N.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Gatun is an artificial lake and it's part of a man-made waterway.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51A man-made waterway.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I don't even know what one of those is.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Is that like a canal?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I don't know, I've no idea, sorry.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Take a stab at it?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06A man-made waterway.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I don't know.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13OK, so you're passing?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Let's see if your team-mates - you're so close - do you know?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17We was thinking Panama.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Yeah, you're right. Panama Canal is the answer.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22So you were very... Once you hit the word canal,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I thought you were going to get it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Suez Canal, Panama Canal, there aren't that many.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I was thinking in England, actually.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- It just sounded like an English name to me.- Ah, Gatun.- Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I was thinking of Gatun and I think Gatcombe went into my mind,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36and, you know....
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Panama Canal is the answer. Lisa, well done,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40you're in the final round. Lisa Thiel, that is, from the Eggheads.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Sorry, Lisa from the Challengers, you've been knocked out.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44You fought a good fight, though.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Thank you.- Come back to us, please, we'll play on.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50So, as it stands, The Cliffhangers have lost a brain
0:12:50 > 0:12:54from the final round after a brilliant fight by Lisa.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55The Eggheads are still all there.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Lisa the Egghead is still in.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The next subject for you is Politics.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Who would like this?- Oh, my God!
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Is this the one where we had the gap?- Oh, man!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I said straightaway that was my worst one.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11OK. Does anyone want to have a go at it?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I'll take the bullet, but I don't expect anything but a whitewash.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It might not be... I mean, are all of the Eggheads really good
0:13:16 > 0:13:20at Politics? If you maybe get yourself, if you bag yourself a...
0:13:20 > 0:13:24I'm still picking an Egghead to go up against.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27It's a bit like, poke me in the left eye or poke me in the right eye!
0:13:27 > 0:13:28LAUGHTER
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Well, give it a go. - They're sat there for a reason.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33I'll take me man Dave.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35All right, so Ayden from The Cliffhangers on Politics
0:13:35 > 0:13:39versus Dave from the Eggheads, and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41please take your positions.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46So, I have to not call you Joe Roscoe, Ayden, that's the key thing.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Yeah, if you can avoid it.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Which I always think is a part you look as if you love playing?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Yeah, I had a really fun few years there.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01I went in with Gillian Taylforth as me mum and the boys that played me
0:14:01 > 0:14:03brothers, we had our nice little family unit there.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Yeah, we're talking Hollyoaks, and the Roscoe family were a big hit,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08weren't they, with the people who love it?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Yeah, yeah, as far as I'm aware, we were told that
0:14:12 > 0:14:16they'd never had fans waiting at the gates before, and when we arrived,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18a bit like a boyband, I think,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21the fans used to come and wait for us there
0:14:21 > 0:14:26and we won the Best Soap award after our first full year on screen.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28So I think we left a nice legacy there.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Do you find you're spending so much time as the character,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33whether it's in Emmerdale, you're Miles De Souza,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36or whether it's Joe Roscoe, that you almost go home and you go to bed
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and wake up and you're still Joe Roscoe?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Yeah, sometimes you dream it and stuff.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I think with the soaps,
0:14:43 > 0:14:48there's not many places to hide, I would say.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50And everyone then thinks you are the character
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- when you're outside the set? - Yeah, they do, yeah.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55People come up and start these conversations and tell you
0:14:55 > 0:14:59what's happened and who to watch out for and what have you,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01but you just take that as people obviously enjoy the show,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- and that's great. - So, Politics, Ayden,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and you're against the man we call Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Here we go, Ayden. I know it's not your choice of subject,
0:15:16 > 0:15:17so good luck here.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21In US Politics, what name is given to a proposed law or policy?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Well, it's definitely not a grant.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I can't think it's a caucus.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35I mean, as soon as I heard you say it, my guess is a bill.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I seem to recall a Simpsons episode
0:15:37 > 0:15:41where they did something like that.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45So, based on my knowledge of The Simpsons,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I'm going to go with bill.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Bill is right. And funnily enough,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51The Simpsons seem to provide us with a lot of answers, Dave, don't they?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- They do.- If you've watched The Simpsons,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- you know a lot of answers to quiz questions.- Absolutely, yeah.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Everything comes up through The Simpsons.- Yes, it does.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59OK, Dave, your question.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Which of these politicians was born first?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Right. It's not Nigel Farage and it's not Ed Miliband.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I believe it's Silvio Berlusconi, please.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Silvio Berlusconi was definitely born first. Well done, Dave.
0:16:20 > 0:16:211-1, back to you, Ayden.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27The Logting, which translates as "law thing",
0:16:27 > 0:16:30is the name of the parliament of which island group?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Could you just spell Logting?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Yeah, it's L-O...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And the O has a diagonal line through it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Top right to bottom left.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Yeah.- So, L-O-G-T-I-N-G.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Logting.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Well, the O with a diagonal line through it is
0:16:52 > 0:16:55a Scandinavian thing, I think.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Certainly from playing
0:16:58 > 0:17:01a lot of Football Manager, and you can pick up some
0:17:01 > 0:17:04really good bargains from the Scandinavian leagues.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08A lot of their names will have the O with the diagonal through it.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13So I'm going to go with the Faroe Islands.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Faroe Islands is your answer.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Let's just check, Eggheads, where are the Frisian islands, first?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Off the... Well, some of them are off the Dutch coast,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22some are off the German coast.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24They're spread over a couple of countries.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25OK, Falklands we know about.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- What is the answer here?- Faroes.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Faroe is right, Ayden, well done.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Two out of two.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Hey!
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Dave, when a guest on Desert Island Discs,
0:17:35 > 0:17:39what did Theresa May choose as her luxury item?
0:17:45 > 0:17:46What a question.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Depends on when she was on.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Because this has passed me by.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Now, if she was on when she was a cabinet minister,
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I would have thought an Aston Martin is going to be a bit of a,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03in austerity times, a bit...
0:18:05 > 0:18:06..a bit too flash.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11A crate of Scottish whisky's not doing it for me.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15The obvious answer would be a lifetime subscription to Vogue,
0:18:15 > 0:18:19but I've got very deep misgivings about this.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23But, politically speaking, it has passed me by.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25It's a guess, this, but I'm going to go
0:18:25 > 0:18:27a lifetime subscription to Vogue, please.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30A lifetime subscription to Vogue is the correct answer.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- HE GROANS - Thought it was.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Well done, Dave.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Ayden, your question, third question, could be crucial here.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42The most recent occasion that one party won more than 50%
0:18:42 > 0:18:47of the popular vote in a UK general election was in which year?
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Most recent that a party won more than 50%?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Yeah.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Well, I can't believe it would be as recent as 2010.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Because nobody's popularity
0:19:07 > 0:19:08seems to be that high.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17'31 was in between the First and Second World War, obviously.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22I'm leaning towards...
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I'm leaning towards '45, simply with it being
0:19:27 > 0:19:30the year the Second World War came to an end,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34and maybe the Government having steered us through that,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36their popularity may have been high,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38but I could be way off the mark there.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I'm going to have to go with '45, that's my gut instinct.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I go against me gut instinct and then often
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I should have stuck with it, so I'm going to go with it.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Lisa's giving me a look.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Are you trying to work it out? What do you think?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Well, the boys think the same as Ayden, but I thought,
0:19:55 > 0:19:59I remember seeing somewhere that Tony Blair got a ridiculously
0:19:59 > 0:20:02high vote one time, but I don't know if that was in 2010,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04so I was thinking it might be 2010.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Well, Blair left power in '07.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Yeah.- Oh, OK.- '45 was an interesting election, Ayden,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12because this is when Churchill lost, isn't it?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15So it's funny old thing, he comes through the Second World War
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- and he's voted out.- Yeah.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It's actually, with this, you've got to go back to 1931.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Ah...!- '31 is the answer.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27All right, Dave, you have the chance to take the round, therefore,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30with this question. The former Danish Prime Minister,
0:20:30 > 0:20:35Helle Thorning-Schmidt, married which British politician in 1996?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Don't believe it's Boris Johnson.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Don't believe it's Nick Clegg.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Seem to remember
0:20:45 > 0:20:51her father and mother-in-law were Neil and Glenys Kinnock.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54So logically, that leads me to Stephen Kinnock.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Please.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57The answer is Stephen Kinnock.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Dave, we say well done.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Sorry, Ayden. But a very good performance
0:21:00 > 0:21:02when it's not your subject.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06I must say. And you were edging closer and closer to 1931 as well.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Mmm.- Ayden, knocked out.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Dave, in the final. Return to us please, we'll play round three.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15As it stands, it the Cliffhangers have lost two brains now
0:21:15 > 0:21:18for the final round. The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20And your next subject is Sport.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Yes!- Ah, that's good?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Come on.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Yeah, I'd love to do Sport.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28OK, that's good to hear.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Who would you like to take on?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Any of these three nearest to me - Beth, Kevin or Judith.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I'm going to go with...
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Either Beth or Judith, but I want to choose Judith, please.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Very good.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I like that look, as well!
0:21:44 > 0:21:47She's not happy, not happy at all.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Steven from the Cliffhangers versus Judith from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Please take your positions.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Well, I'm sorry to take you back to Coronation Street, Steven,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00but we're all fascinated with what the routine is like and how hard the
0:22:00 > 0:22:02work is and all of that?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Yeah, you work long hours when you're there.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09If you're main storyline, you do 12 hours a day most days.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11But it's all part and parcel of it.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14If you're main storyline, you're working regularly
0:22:14 > 0:22:17and you're doing something that you can stick your teeth into.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- It's great.- And when you joined, I think you were 18,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23and you were only supposed to be in it for one episode,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25and you were stuck in it for 15 years?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Yeah, I was about 20, actually, about 20, 21.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32And went in for one episode, and John Savident, that played Fred,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35suggested that he could use me for another episode.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38So I did another one. And I got a phone call at week later,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40and 15 years down the line...
0:22:40 > 0:22:42JEREMY LAUGHS
0:22:42 > 0:22:43And you mention Fred,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46he was supposed to be your uncle and he turned out to be your father?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48He wasn't even me uncle at first.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I was a YTS apprentice, and then,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54as the story developed and the characters developed,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56he then became his uncle.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59And then, for a major storyline - which was a lovely storyline,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01to be honest - he ended up being me dad.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03So, yeah, that's soaps for you.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Brilliant. Steven, Sport against Judith,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07would you like to go first or second?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I would like to go second, please.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14OK, Judith, here we go.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17We know all about Sport, don't we?
0:23:17 > 0:23:18We know about playing it, anyhow.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Not your favourite.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24The phrases "to throw in the towel" and "on the ropes"
0:23:24 > 0:23:26are derived from which sport?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31I think I do know that one, and that's boxing.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32It is boxing, well done.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Steven, which of these sporting competitions was invented first?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I can't see it being Formula 1.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Do you know what, because football's 18...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I'm going to go with FA Cup.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Dave will know this, Dave?
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Yeah, FA Cup's 1872, I think.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59The Winter Olympics is '24.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I think the Formula 1 World Championship, 1950?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04FA Cup was 1872, you're quite right.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06The FA Cup is correct.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Judith, which American golfer
0:24:08 > 0:24:12and former Open champion is nicknamed Wild Thing?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16He's called Wild Thing?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Wild Thing.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well, I know Bubba Watson is...
0:24:22 > 0:24:23..an Open champion.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28I'm not sure. I think it might be Bubba Watson.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Steven, is she right? - I think it's John Daly.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33John Daly is the right answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36OK, maybe it's turning now towards the Challengers?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Steven, get this right to go into the lead.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Ravichandran Ashwin plays cricket for which international team?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Do you know, this is probably me weakest subject in Sport.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51I didn't really want a cricket question.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54But something just come out to me there,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I can't see him being South African.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Me gut instinct was Pakistan, so I'm going to go with Pakistan, please.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04OK.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Dave, is he right?- No.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Indian.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Spin bowler and occasional good batsmen.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12But India.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14India is the right answer.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17So, level. Third question, Judith.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22England goalkeeper Peter Shilton made his senior debut
0:25:22 > 0:25:24in 1966 playing for which team?
0:25:29 > 0:25:30His senior debut?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Senior debut.- 1966.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Well, if it's his senior one, and it's his last job,
0:25:38 > 0:25:39maybe it's Leicester City?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Yeah, you've got it right, actually, it is Leicester City,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47but senior debut, I think meaning not as a child player,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50not as a youth player, but in the main team.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Oh, no! I thought it meant when he's kind of retired from...
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I know you did, but he's not that old.
0:25:56 > 0:25:581966, Peter Shilton, senior debut,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Leicester City is the right answer,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Judith, well done. So, I don't know how she did that, Steven.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Me neither, but well done to her.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- The logic was all over the place, there.- All the wrong logic.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10OK. You need to get this right to stay in, Steven.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Billy Beane is a celebrated team manager in which sport?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19This to stay in.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I'm going to go with a total guess, but again,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25me gut instinct is just saying baseball.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Baseball is correct, well done.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I think Brad Pitt played him in a film called Moneyball.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- That's it, yeah. - Yeah, so it might have rang a bell.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Well done. Scores level,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40after three questions, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Now we've had it. - Judith, not multiple choice now.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Which Florida-based American football team
0:26:47 > 0:26:50won every game during the 1972 regular season
0:26:50 > 0:26:54before going on to triumph in Super Bowl VII?
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Erm...
0:26:57 > 0:26:59The Miami Dolphins.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Miami Dolphins is correct.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- No, really?- Yes, really.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Well, she went Florida, Miami, Miami Dolphins,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10that's how she did that. That's why she's a quizzer.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12OK, Steven,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Carys Davina are the real first names of which
0:27:16 > 0:27:19British Paralympian and Baroness?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I really haven't got a clue about that.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I'm just thinking there's got to be a clue in there,
0:27:27 > 0:27:28but I just can't think of any.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37No, I'm sorry, I've not got an answer for that.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38You want to just take a stab?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40British Paralympian?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43No, I'm sorry, I haven't got a clue.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45OK, let me just go to you - you've passed -
0:27:45 > 0:27:46let me go to your team-mates here?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson is the answer.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52No, I wouldn't have got that.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Oh, Steven. Knocked out by Judith,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57who's trying very hard not to look pleased with herself.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58And not succeeding!
0:28:01 > 0:28:04All right, come back to us, one more round to play.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09OK, as it stands, the Cliffhangers - who we're loving having here -
0:28:09 > 0:28:11are having a bit of a difficult time.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Although not playing at all badly,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14the Eggheads are just playing very well.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18You've lost three brains, the Eggheads have not lost one so far.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20But we have another subject for you, and it's Film & TV.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Yes! That's better.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25You've got to go Film & TV. That's what you said.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- I don't mind.- Go on.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Well, listen, if Scott goes out here,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- you're going to be on your own in the final.- Yeah, that's the thing.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35You will be answering questions though, don't worry about that.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39You've got left Kevin - known as the Grandmaster -
0:28:39 > 0:28:40or Beth, next to Kevin?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- I'll go for Kevin. - Scott from the Cliffhangers
0:28:42 > 0:28:44versus Kevin from the Eggheads -
0:28:44 > 0:28:46please go to the Question Room for the last time.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I feel I've got to describe you as multi-talented, Scott,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52which must be a real bore for you?
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Where do we start? The Rear Of The Year Award?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Rear Of The Year, 2002, yep.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Very proud of that, actually, unashamedly so.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Well, of course!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04And the music as well, tell us about your band?
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Yeah, I've spent quite a lot of the last decade
0:29:08 > 0:29:11touring around with my band. We're not doing as much these days,
0:29:11 > 0:29:15but I play guitar and I still sing a lot.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17So I've been keeping quite busy with that
0:29:17 > 0:29:20and doing other things on top of that as well, musically.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23And your character in Coronation Street was Sam Kingston?
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Sam Kingston, the garage mechanic.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29He spent a great deal of his time with his T-shirt off,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31viewers might remember that.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33So, yeah, it's quite a long time ago now.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35He stripped in the Rovers Return, I think?
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Correct, he did that, an exotic dance in the Rovers Return.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40So the Rear Of The Year followed that?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42We're seeing a connection here.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43It did, yeah, definitely, definitely.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45OK, good stuff.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47I know you love your screen.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Would you like to go first or second?
0:29:49 > 0:29:50I'll go first.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Here we go.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Which of these is a famous quote from the film Toy Story?
0:30:05 > 0:30:10Well, I've got a six-year-old daughter, Lexi,
0:30:10 > 0:30:12who's watched all the Toy Stories,
0:30:12 > 0:30:14so I have had to watch them over and over again.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20So I'm going to go, "To infinity and beyond!"
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Yes, of course, "To infinity and beyond!"
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Well done.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Kevin, which of these films starred Michael Caine?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Well, the answer is Zulu.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40And seeing that at the cinema when I was about seven
0:30:40 > 0:30:43was what inspired an interest in the Zulu War,
0:30:43 > 0:30:47which subsequently was my final in the subject when I won Mastermind.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Oh, right?- Yeah. It's Zulu.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Zulu is the right answer, well done, Kevin.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55OK, Scott, back to you.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59The comedy double act Morecambe and Wise often closed their shows
0:30:59 > 0:31:01with a rendition of which song?
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Well, we talked about Rear Of The Year,
0:31:09 > 0:31:10so it's not Moon River...
0:31:14 > 0:31:16It's Bring Me Sunshine, I'm going to go with that.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Bring Me Sunshine it is, well done, Scott.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19Two out of two.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Making light work of it so far.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Kevin, the Shipmans and the Wests are families
0:31:25 > 0:31:26in which TV comedy series?
0:31:31 > 0:31:35I don't think The Thick Of It really involves families.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42Him And Her focuses on a couple, really.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44But I seem to remember that
0:31:44 > 0:31:50the name of one of the families in Gavin & Stacey was West.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I think, didn't Rob Brydon play Bryn West, or something like that?
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Anyway, I think it's Gavin & Stacey.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Gavin & Stacey is correct.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01So, 2-2 after two questions.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Scott, the third, as we know, can be crucial.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08Who played the title role in the 1960s TV version of Batman?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16It was Adam West.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Adam West is the right answer, Scott, well done.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21OK, third question to Kevin, maybe Kevin will trip up here?
0:32:21 > 0:32:26Which film star celebrated his 100th birthday in 2016?
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Gene Hackman's a bit younger.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41But Kirk Douglas and Robert Mitchum were born fairly close together.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45But the one who turned 100 in 2016 was Kirk Douglas.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Kirk Douglas is correct.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51So, three out of three for you both, we go to Sudden Death.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Last round before the final, and, Scott, your question.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I don't give you options.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Nichelle Nichols played the role of Uhura
0:33:00 > 0:33:04in which science fiction TV series of the 1960s?
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Star Trek.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Star Trek's right.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13The boys...and the team leader love that.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I was going to say the boys love that,
0:33:15 > 0:33:17but Lisa was celebrating as well.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19OK, Kevin.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22The TV drama Doc Martin, starring Martin Clunes,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24is set in which English county?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28I believe it's set in a seaside town in Cornwall.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Cornwall is correct.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Sudden Death. Scott, back to you.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36In which country was the actress Margot Robbie born?
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Margot Robbie was born in...
0:33:40 > 0:33:43It would be easy to say America, but it's not, it's Australia.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It is Australia, good stuff.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- Good man!- Kevin,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50"You don't get to 500 million friends
0:33:50 > 0:33:52"without making a few enemies"
0:33:52 > 0:33:54is the tag line of which 2010 film?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59"You don't get a 500 million friends without making a few enemies"?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- Yes.- Well, I'm assuming then that this is the one about
0:34:03 > 0:34:07the founding of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09So it's The Social Network.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11The Social Network is right.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17Scott, the TV property show Grand Designs is presented by Kevin...who?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Kevin McCloud. - Kevin McCloud is right.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Kevin, who won the Leading Actor award at the 2016 TV Baftas
0:34:28 > 0:34:32for his performance in the drama series Wolf Hall?
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Well, the one...
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Because I've... Yeah.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41There was stage and TV versions of Wolf Hall, so I'm just...
0:34:41 > 0:34:45But the one that played Thomas Cromwell on TV was Mark Rylance.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Mark Rylance is right.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Scott, who played the title role
0:34:49 > 0:34:54of an ageing Sherlock Holmes in the 2015 film, Mr Holmes?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Who played the title role of an ageing Sherlock Holmes?
0:34:59 > 0:35:002015.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02I know it, I can see...
0:35:04 > 0:35:06I can see the cover of the film.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08And I'm racking my brains at the moment.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Oh...
0:35:14 > 0:35:18I cannot dredge that from the back of my memory.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21And I really know it, and I'm going to really regret
0:35:21 > 0:35:22not remembering this.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27As it stands...
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I can't think of anybody, so I'm just going to say...
0:35:33 > 0:35:35..Tom Hanks.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Tom Hanks is your answer.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Let's see, team, do we know?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- McKellen.- Ian McKellen.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- Oh!- Who, actually, I think, has been in Coronation Street?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- Yeah.- Yes, he has. - Don't rub it in.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48I won't rub it in, sorry.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I won't mention that again.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55Kevin, you have a chance now to take the round with this question.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59In 2015, the actor Joe Manganiello married which actress
0:35:59 > 0:36:02from the TV comedy series Modern Family?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04This for the round.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Well, I don't watch Modern Family,
0:36:07 > 0:36:09and I've only got one actress's name from it,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12and she's probably considered the lead actress,
0:36:12 > 0:36:15and is one of the highest-paid actresses around.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18And that's Sofia Vergara, but whether it's her, I don't know.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Sofia Vergara?- Sofia Vergara is the right answer, Kevin,
0:36:21 > 0:36:22you've taken the round.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23He is very, very good.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Sorry, Scott. And I know you knew that.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27I knew that one, yeah.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29No, but I know you knew Ian McKellen, really.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31You've got the poster in your mind.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- I know.- All right, we've done four rounds, we can play the final.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Return to us and we'll do it.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:36:39 > 0:36:40it's time for the final round,
0:36:40 > 0:36:42which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:36:45 > 0:36:47won't been able to take part in this round.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50So, Lisa, Steven, Scott and Ayden from the Cliffhangers,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52would you please now leave the studio.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Well, here we are, Sean.- Well!
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I know this wasn't quite the plan.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05No, it wasn't the plan, and as the day has progressed, we have kind of,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09as a team, realised that Scott was probably our font of knowledge.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12And we must admit, Scott's made a good impression of himself today.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15So, really, we could have done with Scott being here.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17But even so, we're against five Eggheads.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Don't worry, honestly, you can do it.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21People have done it from that position.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25So, you're playing to win £10,000 for your charities.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Lisa, Dave, Beth, Kevin, Judith,
0:37:28 > 0:37:30you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:37:30 > 0:37:31the Eggheads' reputation.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:37:34 > 0:37:37they're all General Knowledge. You may confer.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Sorry that doesn't help you, Sean.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- Yeah, OK.- The question is, can your one brain defeat these five?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Would you like to go first or second?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47I suppose I'd better go first.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53And here we go, General Knowledge, Sean, good luck.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Hartlepool is a seaport in which county of the UK?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01It's, well...
0:38:01 > 0:38:06Kent and Cumbria are nowhere near Hartlepool,
0:38:06 > 0:38:08because Hartlepool is in Durham.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09Durham is quite right.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11And you had a cookbook which was called...?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- The Great Northern Cookbook. - So there we are.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16I'm sure there's at least one Hartlepool dish in there.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19OK, Eggheads,
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Henry Hill and Jimmy Conway are characters in which film?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Goodfellas.- Goodfellas.- Mmm-hmm.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Robert De Niro and Ray Liotta.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Well, Ray Liotta's Henry Hill.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Yeah.- Robert De Niro's Jimmy Conway.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35All right, then.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38I'm reliably informed that's Goodfellas.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Goodfellas is correct.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Good answer. Might have tripped me up, that one.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Would you have got that?- No.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Here's your question. Which of these actors claims to have had
0:38:48 > 0:38:51an impromptu boxing match with the Dalai Lama?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59OK, well, I think I know this.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Brian Blessed has had many a foray to the Everest region.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10And, I would have thought, would have taken great curiosity
0:39:10 > 0:39:14in Buddhism and would have had an opportunity to meet the Dalai Lama.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17And I would have thought something must've happened,
0:39:17 > 0:39:19and Brian Blessed was that very man.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- Brian Blessed is correct.- Hey!
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Hey, that's good!
0:39:25 > 0:39:27OK, Eggheads.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30The Ural Mountains mark the traditional boundary
0:39:30 > 0:39:32between which two continents?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- Europe and Asia.- Europe and Asia.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Yep. They are the border between Europe and Asia.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Yes, the boundary between Europe and Asia.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Correct answer. 2-2, back to you, Sean.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Which of these words refers specifically to eagles?
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Eagles.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Oh, no!
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Here sits a bird-watcher.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12But...
0:40:12 > 0:40:15A lot of the "-lines" I know, but this particular one,
0:40:15 > 0:40:17of eagles...
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Bubaline, pavonine...
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Aquiline?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Not looking at aquiline, don't think.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28As these are probably...
0:40:31 > 0:40:34..Greek names for those groups of birds...
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Pavoline, pavonine.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41Bubaline...
0:40:41 > 0:40:44There's no real clues in there, really.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Bubaline, pavonine...
0:40:50 > 0:40:51OK, well...
0:40:52 > 0:40:54It's one of those two, methinks.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00And I can't think of any reason...
0:41:00 > 0:41:04I've never even heard of bubaline.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06So I'm going to go for pavonine.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Pavonine.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Now, is there some way of getting this out the Roman...?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- Yes.- What's going on?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15The Latin for eagle is aquila.
