Episode 13 Celebrity Eggheads

These people are among the greatest quiz players in Britain.

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

The question is, can they be beaten?

Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,

the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits

against possibly the greatest team in Britain.

They are the Eggheads. Are you ready for a runout, Eggs?

-Ready.

-Good stuff.

Hoping to come away with a winning scoreline

against the Eggheads today are No Dribbling.

Now, this team of footballing favourites have provided

some of the sport's most talked about moments,

but will they finish top of the league today?

Let's meet them.

Hello, I'm Pat Nevin,

former international footballer with Scotland.

Currently I work as a co-commentator

and an analyst on football in the media.

Hi, I'm Matt Elliott, ex-Leicester City and Scotland international.

I'm here to prove the theory that footballers

are not the sharpest tool in the box absolutely spot-on.

Hello, I'm Helen Ward,

I'm a current Welsh international footballer.

Pat Bonner, former goalkeeper, my whole career with Glasgow Celtic

and, of course, the Republic of Ireland.

My name is Perry Groves.

I managed to fool some of the people all of the time

playing for Colchester United, Arsenal and Southampton

where I was a complete waste of money.

Sorry, Saints fans.

-So, Pat, and team, hello.

-How are you doing, Jeremy?

Thanks for coming in. It's great to see football represented, Pat,

and I'm thinking you're in the team captain position now.

For the first time in my entire life, I've been team captain!

Never before in football history have I ever been team captain!

But, you know, a good bunch, and I'm confident in this lot,

getting behind us, and we're a strong side.

Great. Yeah, a strong side. This lot are strong, too.

Have you got any thoughts on how to tackle them?

We've had a few thoughts, but, really, we're not sure,

because we have no idea, like every week,

what the subjects are going to be.

So it's going to be a bit up in the air

and we're going to have some tactics when the information comes out.

All right. Matt, have you quizzed before, yourself?

Casually or in any way?

On a Tuesday night, down the local pub,

a bit of quiz night, that was it.

I can't profess to too much success in that department -

that's for sure.

I am a bit of a novice, really, I think, in this department,

but I'm willing to try my best,

and we designated Pat captain

because he at least looks a bit intelligent, anyway.

Helen, how about you? We've got different subjects.

You've mentioned that it's not possible to know what's coming,

but is there anything you hope will come up?

I've got to say Sport, to be honest.

-A bit of geography, a bit of music? What about music?

-Not so much.

Maybe TV and film.

But, yeah, sport's the one for me.

Pat, it is... I think we seem to be a nation obsessed with quizzing.

Everybody loves to quiz. Are you a quizzer too, or not?

No, I'm afraid not.

I need a good team around me - that's for sure.

I'm the most unlikely quizzer ever, especially from my family!

Everybody else is so much better, but I'm going to enjoy it.

The strange thing for us is being joined by answers,

cos I reckon at some point you've all been an answer in a question.

I think I've asked them 20,000 questions now,

so, Perry, you've definitely been an answer in there.

But I guess that doesn't necessarily help unless you come up today.

How are you feeling at the end there?

It's a lot more nerve-racking than when you watch it on the telly.

-So, I watch it Monday to Fridays.

-Do you?

Yeah, they come up, and they said, "Good luck,"

-and, "I hope it goes well." They didn't mean it.

-No.

It's like when you shake hands before the game -

-they didn't mean it.

-No!

There will be two-footed tackles flying in all over the place.

You've absolutely got them nailed. You watch it every day, do you?

Yes, I do. Six o'clock, yeah, all the time.

And do you, when you watch it and you go...

Can you find yourself getting them

on the multiple-choice quite well, or not?

Yeah, not bad, actually.

I think it's just when you go head-to-head -

that's going to be the real test.

-You're building yourself up!

-No, when you go head-to-head!

I'm loving it. We've got at least one Eggheads fan here.

Listen, good luck, team.

It's great to see you, we really appreciate your time today.

Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

for our Challengers' chosen charity.

However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

So, brilliant No Dribbling, the Eggheads have won the last 12.

It means that the jackpot is £13,000

cos nobody yet has taken the money.

So it's set well for you, I reckon.

The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Film And TV.

So it's one of you against either

Beth, Kevin, Chris, Barry or Dave.

Right, well, I certainly didn't have it as my first choice.

There certainly was a couple of you that were interested.

-Helen, you were vaguely interested in that one?

-Yeah.

Well, I'm happy to give it a go if...

-Yeah, go for it.

-I don't mind.

Might as well get it out the way early doors.

I think there's a few of us happy with that one.

I'll pass the buck, Helen can do it.

OK, Helen on Film And TV. Choose an Egghead here.

Who looks as if they haven't been in a cinema for a while?

Perry watches this all the time.

You must have a little bit more information.

I watch it pretty regularly, but you are constantly watching it.

To be fair, it's got to be Kevin and Perry Go Large, isn't it?

So it's got to be Kevin, innit, don't you think?

-MATT:

-You've stitched Helen, there, haven't you?

-What do you think, Helen?

-Yeah, we'll go for it, why not?

-Are you sure you're not being bounced into this?

-No, it's fine.

-I'll get it out the way nice and early.

-OK.

-Try and take down the Grand Master.

-An early goal, you know?

Yeah, well, sometimes just try and just...shoot.

Helen from No Dribbling,

taking on Kevin, the Grand Master from the Eggheads.

To ensure there's no conferring, would you please

both take your positions in our famous Question Room?

Film And TV is the subject.

Helen, your choice - would you like to go first or second?

I will go first today, please.

Here we go, good luck.

In which 2003 film do Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant

play sister and brother Karen and David?

A 2003 film, Helen.

My immediate reaction was Notting Hill, but...

I'm going to go with it. It's going to be my gut reaction.

-I'm going to go Notting Hill.

-Notting Hill is your answer.

-Kevin, is this right?

-I think that was a bit earlier, wasn't it?

Late '99, something like that?

I would go for Love Actually.

Love Actually is the answer. Helen, sorry.

Yeah, as soon as I said it, I think I should have gone for that,

but never mind, that's always the way.

That is the way, it happens.

OK, Kevin, your question.

What is the stage name of the Australian actress Melanie Bownds,

best known for her appearances in the Pitch Perfect films?

Well, the one there who's...

I must admit I didn't know about her real name there,

but the one of those who's in the Pitch Perfect films,

and I don't think Isla Fisher pops up in those.

Certainly it's not Nicole Kidman.

But the one I know is in the Pitch Perfect films is Rebel Wilson,

so...that's the answer, I think.

Rebel Wilson is the right answer.

OK, Helen, to come back

and draw level, your question.

Which long-running Saturday sports programme was first broadcast

in October 1958 with Peter Dimmock as presenter?

This is going to be a bit of a guess, I'm afraid.

1958's just a bit before my time,

um, so I'm going to go with Grandstand.

You're absolutely right. Well done. Grandstand it is.

The lads are cheering.

Kevin, which of these is the title of a film starring Jacques Tati?

Monsieur Hulot was a very long-running character

for Jacques Tati.

He did a lot of films based on that character over the years,

and this was the first one, back in the late '50s.

I've actually been to the place where they filmed it.

They have a statue there of him, Jacques Tati, as Monsieur Hulot.

And it's Monsieur Hulot's Holiday.

Monsieur Hulot's Holiday is right.

Trust Kevin to have seen a statue, eh?

That's how he rolls, I'm afraid.

Helen, you need this to stay in.

In which Coen brothers film starring Nicolas Cage

did Randall Cobb appear as Leonard Smalls,

AKA the Lone Biker of the Apocalypse?

The only one of those three that I've heard of is Fargo,

so, again, I'm going to guess with that.

-Fargo.

-Fargo is your answer.

I'm thinking they might all be Coen brothers, are they, Eggheads?

-They are all Coen brothers.

-OK, do you know which one it is?

-Raising Arizona, I think.

-Raising Arizona.

Raising Arizona is the answer, Helen.

So, I'm sorry, there's no way back for you in this round,

Kevin will go into the final,

But, as Perry told us, he's a very good player

and it's quite a good tactic sometimes to hurl yourself

at him very early on.

Come back to us, both of you. we'll play round two.

OK, so No Dribbling have lost one brain from the final round.

The Eggheads are still all there,

and we need to try and change that if we can, Challengers.

The next subject is Politics.

So, who would like that?

-He knows.

-I'm out.

-We did say.

This is the one that nobody at all wanted.

Including me.

But, Pat, lead by example, you're the captain.

I'll give any of you a chance if you want to take it?

You're all right, thanks.

-I would, but...I'm out, I'm afraid. Sorry.

-Very kind of you(!)

I was holding out for Art And Lit, but I'm not going to get it,

so it looks like it's going to be me.

OK, Pat. That is, as Perry's suggesting, a brave example,

the captain goes into the breach.

Against which Egghead? Can't be Kevin. Any of the others.

Who looks like they've never heard of 10 Downing Street?

What do you think?

I think they're all going to be pretty strong on that.

What about Baz? What do you think?

Let's go with big, bad Barry, come on.

He's staring at us, pretending he knows a lot about politics,

but I'm not sure, I think it's a double bluff.

-I'm not sure.

-Have you got any instinct?

-Dave.

-Dave? Go for it. Go for Dave.

Go on, then. Dave.

-Dave?

-Mm-hmm.

-OK.

Pat from No Dribbling...

They were going to choose you, Barry - they swerved you.

..versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.

To ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions.

Well, Pat, your professional football career almost didn't start

because Celtic thought you were too small.

And they may well have been right at the time.

Actually, in the end, it was probably the best thing

that happened to me because I went away, got a bit more education

and looked at football in a different way.

By the time I came back to it,

I was playing it for the love of it and not through fear,

so although it was a sad time at the time, it worked out quite well.

And I guess you are most associated with Chelsea, as well as Everton,

Tranmere Rovers, but Chelsea in particular.

Um... Well, it depends where you go.

You understand why I'm saying that.

Yeah, I know exactly why you're saying that.

Every team you play for is special in its own way

and I was one of those fortunate players that, throughout a career,

everyone I played for, I seemed to have a really nice time

and have good memories of.

And it gave you a 19-year career, which is exceptional.

Yeah, I used to be six foot at the start of it -

I'm now five foot six.

So obviously I ran too much.

So now you write and you commentate and you do all of that,

and it must be so interesting to make that switch.

Oddly enough, it's the classic old cliche -

you know, football's the best job you can get,

but the second best is either watching or coaching.

And certainly watching it and analysing it,

and I do enjoy doing it, and hopefully, if I've got a mantra

before I do any sort of co-commentary or analysing,

I always think, try and tell people something

that they might not know themselves.

You're there for expert analysis,

so you try and do that as much as you can.

You've also been in business.

You were PFA chairman for five years in the '90s,

chief executive at Motherwell, so...

My goodness, you've done a lot of things, Pat.

Yes, both jobs, very, very interesting.

I cannot say they were always enjoyable,

and certainly being chief executive AND player at a club,

that was the most exhausting thing.

But you learn so much, and isn't that what life is about?

Going out, learning, trying things, such as doing Eggheads.

Which takes us perfectly to quizzing. So, Politics, Pat.

I feel bad cos I know this is not the round

you would have chosen in a million years.

Of all the subjects that's covered in Eggheads -

I think there's nine of them - this was number nine in my list.

-Oh, dear!

-So I'm getting thrown to the lions here.

OK, well, I don't think it's your favourite, Dave, either, is it?

Er... Well, depends what comes up.

I mean, it's such a broad subject,

they're obviously going to be gaps at certain times,

but we'll see how the questions fall.

All right, Pat, would you like to go first or second?

I'll go first.

So, here we go.

The Bundestag is the name of a parliament in which country?

Um... Well...

I think Bundeswehr is the German sports firm,

and various other "bundes" things happen to be German.

I think I might go with Germany on this one.

Excellent, you're quite right, well done.

Dave, which of these UK Prime Minister held office first?

Harold Wilson was the 1960s and 1970s.

I think Winston Churchill, '40s and '50s.

It's William Gladstone.

William Gladstone is correct.

Back to you, Pat.

David Owen became leader of which political party in 1983?

Um... I should probably pretend I don't know,

but it's the Social Democratic... the SDP when it was started of...

It was a disappointment that the two other parties,

and particularly the Liberal party

wasn't serving the needs of a number of people,

and I think he was one of them.

Social Democratic Party is quite right, yes.

The so-called Gang Of Four, he was one of.

Do you know the others, Dave?

William Rodgers, Shirley Williams and Roy Jenkins.

That's right.

Here's your question.

Walton, Wavertree and West Derby are parliamentary constituencies

in which British city?

I think Eric Heffer was Liverpool Walton,

so that's my answer. Liverpool.

Liverpool is quite right.

OK, you're playing well, here. 2-2, Pat.

The third question can be crucial. Here we go.

After the war in Yugoslavia,

the constitutional status of Bosnia-Herzegovina

was finally established at a conference held in 1995

in which town in Ohio?

Well, I think the last couple of questions were underarm.

This was certainly a fast bowl, this one.

I'll be honest - I really don't know that one.

But somewhere in the back of my brain

the word Dayton is shouting out at me.

There certainly were some important meetings had, politically,

in Dayton, so...

It's a...it's a 90% guess. I'm going for Dayton.

So, OK, to make it three out of three, you've said Dayton.

Let's just see about the other two.

Eggheads, Cincinnati - which state is that in?

-They're all Ohio.

-They're all Ohio, are they?

-Yes.

Toledo is in Ohio. So the Ohio bit doesn't help.

What's the answer, Eggs?

-It's Dayton.

-Dayton is the right answer.

Well done, Pat. Good quizzing. Three out of three.

Dave needs this to stay in.

The journalist Valerie Trierweiler

is a former partner of which prominent French politician?

I believe it was Francois Hollande.

Francois Hollande is the right answer.

So we're level after three.

And it gets a bit harder now, Pat -

I don't give you alternative answers. Here we go.

Li Peng was Prime Minister of which major country

from 1988 to 1998?

It's just two words, I should say.

The first one is just L-I and the second word is P-ENG, so Li Peng.

Very difficult. I don't think that sounds Korean.

Obviously, I think we're talking eastern here.

I don't think it's South Korean, either.

-Cos the Li is LI?

-L-I.

-L-I.

So it would be Lee, L-E-E, if it's Korean.

So moving up a bit towards, again doesn't sound Japanese to me either.

It sounds... I immediately wanted to jump in and say China.

But I think I would remember the Chinese leader.

So that's a tough one.

I'm going to have to go with China

although with absolutely no confidence.

That's OK, cos they have presidents

as well, don't they, as prime ministers,

so Li Peng might not have been as memorable as you imagine.

You're right, China is correct. Well done.

We're on the Sudden Death. Dave, we go to you.

-You need this to stay in.

-Mm-hm.

In which decade was David Cameron born?

-David Cameron?

-Yeah.

-Which decade?

-Yep.

If I'm not mistaken, England won the World Cup that year

so it's 1966, so the 1960s, please.

The 1960s is quite right.

Sudden Death, you haven't put a foot wrong yet, Pat.

The standard full term for a governor

-of the Bank of England is how many years?

-Hmm.

Now, currently,

it's jumping out immediately, four.

But I don't want to dive into four

because obviously you're thinking of the Prime Minister.

I'm really guessing at four or five.

I'm in guess land here.

Needs time to change things.

-Five.

-Eggheads, do you know?

-No, not sure.

-No.

-Might have gone for five, though.

-No.

-No?

-It's not, it's not four or five.

-It's eight.

-Well, he needed time to change things!

OK, Dave, your question

for the round. Sudden Death, we're on.

At the 2002 Conservative Party Conference

Theresa May famously warned delegates,

"You know what some people call us? The..." What?

-The nasty party.

-Nasty party is the right answer, Dave, well done.

You've taken a round on Sudden Death.

Sorry, Pat, you played really well there

considering it's not your choice of subject.

Pretty gutted, because I knew the answer to that!

I'm sure, I'm sure you did.

So, knocked out by our Egghead.

Please, return to us, both of you. We'll play round three.

So, as it stands No Dribbling have lost a couple of brains now

from the final round. The Eggheads are all still there.

Are you worried, Pat, that they haven't got a question wrong yet?

Erm... Yeah, I'm wondering if they've had one in the series

wrong yet, but, no, they're in absolutely brilliant form.

Well, but good quizzing from you as well, Pat. No question.

We can tell you're a quizzer.

The next subject is Arts & Books.

Now, who would like this?

That was going to be yours!

-Not...

-Oh, dear.

-We're not carrying much luck here, gang,

we really are not carrying much luck.

Not much assistance here, are we?

-Shall I go? I'll take one for the team.

-I think Perry.

OK, Perry. A big Eggheads fan,

against which Egghead?

Perry, you can have... Obviously you can't have Kevin or Dave.

-Any of the others.

-I'm going to go for Beth.

Perry from No Dribbling taking on Beth from the Eggheads.

Please go to the Question Room now.

Perry, we noticed at the start you apologised to Southampton fans.

I had to. They bought me for three quarters of a million quid.

I scored two goals, so £375,000 a goal is not bad value, really.

But you're... The song that Arsenal fans still sing is

We All Live In A Perry Groves World.

Yeah, it's quite humbling, really,

because there's a lot better players than me that don't get sung about

but if they forget to sing about me, I get five of my family

to go to the Emirates and then they start singing it,

so it puts me back in their minds.

And that was the title of your autobiography as well, so,

perfect, perfect title.

Perfect title but number seven is always Liam Brady, quite rightly so.

Yes, what's...? Cos I've heard them singing it.

I'm thinking, how does that happen?

They go through... It's the tune of Yellow Submarine

and then it gets to seven and it's not you,

it's Liam Brady. What's that about?

Because he was that good and there's only one number seven

as far as the Arsenal fans are concerned.

But you're always exceptionally modest about your football.

You say, "Oh, these players are really good

"and I was just kind of running around."

That's a good description.

You must have seen me play at Highbury a few times!

But I was just privileged. Pat will tell you, and, man,

all the chaps on our team will tell you that we are just privileged

to play football. It's not a job, you are getting paid

-to play at your hobby.

-Yeah.

And you had some great football moments with Arsenal, particularly.

The 1987 Football League Cup

and then two First Division titles in '88-'89, '90-'91.

So you saw some of Arsenal's greatest years?

Yeah, I think most people remember the 1989, May 26th up at Anfield,

when we had to beat them 2-0 to win the title,

the first one for 18 years and people who know their football

know that I took the whole back four away

and then Michael Thomas could run through the middle

and score in the 94th minute.

What's the movie that features in? Is it... Oh, Fever Pitch.

-Fever Pitch.

-Isn't it? You've obviously seen that, Perry.

-Is that a question?

-That's right, you can have a point if you say yes.

Yes, Fever Pitch! Nick Hornby!

All right, well, I love the fact that you watch Eggheads

and you watch it, you know, every day,

so you know what this is all about,

and this is the point at which I say you're doing Arts & Books

and would you like to go first or second?

Again, got to go first.

OK, up against Beth, our newest Egghead.

Here we go. The artist Pablo Picasso died in which century?

Perry, is it...

Can I go second, please, Jeremy?

Well, I think he was...

I would say Pablo Picasso was the 19th century.

He died in the 20th century.

-Oh!

-How do we logically get there?

He did do First World War-related paintings, didn't he?

-Was Guernica...?

-Well, Spanish Civil War.

-Spanish Civil War.

-1936, yes.

'36, OK.

Actually, funnily enough, he died in 1973, Perry.

Beth, your question.

"No, no, I never guess, it's a shocking habit"

are the words of which literary detective from a novel

first published in 1890?

That's... The only one from that period is Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes is right.

OK, you've got to get her into a Perry Groves world now, Perry.

Get this right. Put some pressure on.

Call The Midlife is a 2015 book about embracing middle age

by which broadcaster and DJ?

-Call The Midlife.

-I think it's the sort of title that

Chris Evans might write about,

with, like, a midlife crisis with all that went on in his...

in his life with Virgin radio and stuff like that

so I'm going to go for Chris Evans.

-Perry, you're absolutely right, well done.

-Get in!

-Yes!

-Come on!

-Come on!

OK, Beth. In Jane Austen's Sense And Sensibility,

there are three Dashwood daughters.

Elinor and Margaret and which other?

Is the third one...

The third one is Marianne.

Marianne is right.

Oh, Perry, I thought she might slip up there.

So it means you need to get this one right to stay in.

This is a line of poetry, OK?

"And how the silence surged softly backward

"when the plunging hooves were gone,"

are the final lines of which famous poem?

Um...

This is going to be a total guess and I've been watching Eggheads,

normally go straight down the middle when you're struggling a little bit

so I'm going to go for The Listeners by Walter de la Mare.

The Listeners by Walter de la Mare

-is the right answer.

-Well done!

-Oh, yes!

That's what you get for watching Eggheads, Jeremy!

-That's what you get!

-Come on!

-That's it! Brilliant.

All right. Now, Beth can take it with this.

But let's see. What is the title, Beth,

of the debut novel of Kaui Hart Hemmings

which was turned into a film starring George Clooney?

Beth, is it...

Hmm. Well, I know...

These are probably all George Clooney films

but two I know definitely. Syriana and The Ides Of March.

He was definitely in those two.

Ides Of March is about...

..political wranglings and...

I'm not sure what Syriana's about.

The Descendants is a complete...

..unknown to me. Hmm...

I'm going to go with The Ides Of March.

OK. Funnily enough, the one I know best is The Descendants

because I've seen it and it's... I think it might be based in Hawaii.

-It is, yes.

-And is Kaui the clue there, that's a Hawaiian name?

-A Hawaiian name.

-Yeah.

-The answer is The Descendants.

-Oh.

Didn't know it at all.

No. Well, I think a woman dies suddenly

-and then a whole will situation...

-Yes, a battle over a will.

A battle over a will. OK, so, that's good, Perry.

-The force is with you.

-Back in the game.

So much back in the game! So, scores level after three questions.

We go to Sudden Death. It gets a little bit harder

because I don't give you alternative answers,

as you know because you watch every day.

Here we go. Take your time, Perry.

A field of what flowers did William Wordsworth famously describe

in a poem as "continuous as the stars that shine

"and twinkle on the Milky Way"?

So, we're looking for flowers here.

Um... I'm going to go for a field

of wild flowers.

It's daffodils.

Daffodils is the answer.

Beth, your question.

JD Salinger's novel The Catcher In The Rye is set in which country?

It's set in the United States of America.

USA is the right answer, Beth, on Sudden Death.

Well done, you're in the final round. Sorry, Perry.

-You ran her pretty close there.

-I'm quite happy with two, to be fair.

Yeah, you did fine with two.

Well done, Beth, though. You're in the final.

Return to us. One more round to play.

Right, with one more round to play, No Dribbling have lost three brains

from the final round. The Eggheads are still all there,

and this is the moment to take one down. The subject is Sport.

That's got to be good, right?

-We said this, Pat, didn't we?

-It's a little bit...

We knew we could get to this point.

Toss of a coin between the two.

Between the two of you, yes.

-I'm happy to take it.

-What about you?

-Do you want to be left on your own, Pat? Can you handle it?

-No.

Be confident, you might, you might get through together.

-How confident are you?

-Will you come back and join me?

Will you seriously, come back and join me?

-PERRY:

-Bullish, Matt! I like that.

I've only met him today and... I want to see some more of him.

All right, Matt, against either Barry or Chris.

-Chris.

-Ooh...

-Brilliant.

Well, Chris, that's probably a good decision because

is it fair to say you have your off moments on Sport?

I can't remember when I had an on moment on Sport.

Yes, so that might be wise, Matt, well done.

Matt from No Dribbling trying to get into the final to help Pat,

taking on Chris here from the Eggheads. For the last time, please,

go to our Question Room.

Well, remember when you signed for Leicester in '97

and it was a club record, Matt, wasn't it?

20 years ago, unfortunately, Jeremy. Yeah.

I was going to say I remember it well, but I actually can't.

But, yeah, I had some great times at the club

and some great times since as well.

And, yeah, it was 1.6 million which then was a heck of a lot for them

to pay and you then had a very long career as a defender with Leicester.

Yes, it was a lot of money back then.

A lot of people scoffed at it, actually,

1.6 million, although it sounds like chicken feed these days.

But a club record, a bit of pressure on my shoulders

but the team around me and the manager there, Martin O'Neill,

helped me settle in quickly and,

as I say, I had a great eight years or so at Leicester City.

Still involved there in a roundabout way and still live in the area.

And therefore as a fan in the 2016 season,

when they lifted the Premier League Cup, you must have been overjoyed.

Yeah. I went absolutely berserk. I mean, I work in the media

side of things so I was directly involved and fortunate enough

to go and watch every game and you could see it developing,

the procession towards the championship and the way it came out

eventually was unbelievable. Unbelievable scenes,

not just around the football club but around the whole city.

It was funny because even as you were in the last half a dozen games,

we had reports of people cashing in their bets and stuff

because no-one wanted to believe it was actually going to happen.

No, that's right, 5,000-1, the odds at the start of the season.

Christmas time, it was still 2,000-1

and I wish I'd been a little bit braver myself, I have to say.

What about the 2000 League Cup?

I must mention that because you won the League Cup final

for your team and scored twice against Tranmere Rovers.

-It was a massive game for Leicester, wasn't it?

-Yeah, back then, it was.

Not quite in comparison to winning the Premier League itself

but it was a cup and a trophy that we won.

It was one of those days everything just materialised for me.

I scored two goals, got man of the match.

My son was due to be born on that day, my youngest son.

Thankfully, he waited three days

so we could enjoy the celebrations and my dad, who's no longer around,

backed me for first and last goal-scorer and won £600,

so a good day all round!

So Sport is the subject, Matt,

and would you like to go first or second?

I'll buck the trend of my three colleagues

that have gone prior to me

because it hasn't worked for them one way or another

and Pat needs some company back there. I'm going to go second.

So here we go, with your first Sport question, Chris.

Which batsman is England's all-time highest run-scorer

in men's Test cricket? Chris, is it...

Oh, this goes way back, doesn't it?

It's Jack Russell from way back.

-Matt, is he right?

-No, I looked at that and I thought...

..even Chris might get that one.

Alastair Cook, isn't it? I'm sure.

Alastair Cook is the answer.

Hmm, he wrote Letters From America, of course, for many years.

Caused a bit of laughter here.

Dave, that was an error by Chris.

Yes, it was. Jack Russell was a wicketkeeper in the 1980s.

And James Anderson is a fast bowler in the millennium.

It's Alastair Cook who's...

Well, as of 2016 is the run-scorer.

OK, Matt, this has started well.

Your question. Which of these men is a former World Snooker champion?

I'm hesitating slightly. I just want to make sure I get the right shout.

Willie Thorne is a friend of mine actually, from the Leicester area.

I don't believe Willie has won the World Championship.

I'm sure he would have told me about it on numerous occasions!

Jimmy White, a lot of people would assume that he was a champion.

I know he's got to a few finals

and unfortunately I think lost every time

and probably the least well-known name is the world champion, I think.

Stuart Bingham, I will go for.

Stuart Bingham is correct. Well done, Matt.

Brilliant. So you are ahead of Chris.

Chris, your question.

Which 19-year-old was picked for the England football squad

in October 2015 despite having only made six Premier League

appearances for Tottenham?

Hmm.

I'd go with Eric Dier.

No, you're wrong again, I'm afraid.

Dele Alli is the answer.

So, what can I say, Matt?

This is going the way we wanted it to.

Get this right, you're in the final.

Israel Folau has played international rugby league

and rugby union for which country?

-Can you spell that, please, Jeremy?

-Yes, so, Israel

-as you would imagine, like the country.

-Yes.

-And then F-O-L-A-U.

Israel Folau.

There's a similarly named player who plays for Wales.

It's not that spelling or not that pronunciation.

His name escapes me at this moment in time but...

Little bit of a guess, little bit of a guess, I'll go Australia.

OK, if you've got this right you're in the final.

-Challengers, is he right?

-100%.

100%. You're right, well done, Matt.

Australia is the right answer, two out of two.

No way back for Chris.

Chris has been knocked out of the final.

Maybe things are on the turn at just the right moment

for our celebrity Challengers. Come back to us, please,

and we will play the final round.

OK, this is what we have been playing towards,

it is time for our final round,

which, as always, is General Knowledge,

but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

won't be allowed to take part in this round.

So, that's Pat Nevin, Helen, and Perry from No Dribbling

but also Chris from the Eggheads.

Would you please now leave the studio.

All right, Matt and Pat,

you're playing to win No Dribbling £13,000.

Is this like facing a penalty shoot-out, Pat?

Oh, this is worse. So, so much worse.

Penalty shoot-out, you can... You know, you can go the right way

or you can go the wrong way and nothing is expected of you.

Expectations here now tonight.

It's a bit similar, Pat.

You guess at penalties, we are guessing at these answers!

-Yeah, we are, we are.

-I suppose that's true.

But you had, was it 642 appearances for Celtic?

Yeah, something like that, massive.

I was there for 17 years, all my career.

Sometimes I regret it because I would have liked

to have moved around like some of these guys and met with people,

see other people but then when you're at a club like Celtic

and we're playing in Europe and we're winning things...

We didn't earn too much money but...

-You've got to have other clubs who want you as well.

-Yeah, that's true.

But at that time nobody told us if they were in for us,

there were no agents at that time.

Sure, but it was a great time, wonderful time,

and I'm still living in Glasgow.

And there's a very famous save, in fact.

You Eggheads will know it

because it's a quiz answer which is the Italia '90, isn't it?

Where you basically got Ireland through with a save.

Yes, well, it was a penalty shoot-out, yes.

Daniel Timofte, who you'll all remember...

-No, didn't remember that.

-In fact, I spoke to him recently.

You know, he had a tough time back in Romania

because he missed the penalty

and he opened a bar called The Penalty

and what he said to me was he opened it

because if anybody gave him stick, he could chuck them out.

And I named a boat after him.

Daniel Timofte was the name of my boat,

an old boat we had down in Donegal, so it was a good time.

The save basically, as you say,

got Ireland through to the quarterfinals of Italia '90,

and to be in that tournament at that stage must have been...

-It was incredible.

-Fantastic for the young you.

It was quite incredible and we had a fantastic team.

We didn't know how good we were until we started winning a few games

and, of course, we had Jack Charlton as our manager.

A fantastic man, great leader and a brilliant man.

He gave me such, such responsibility within the team, too

and I grew with it and he was a fantastic guy

-to be working under, you know.

-And we're in Glasgow here,

can you walk the streets of Glasgow without getting mobbed?

I'm guessing not, probably.

No, you know, people know who you are

but Glasgow's a great city to live in, you know,

and it's obviously, of course, divided between Glasgow Rangers

and Glasgow Celtic and there is a great atmosphere and, you know,

people get on well together now, but there is that rivalry there

and Rangers, of course, back in the league,

-it's started to take off again, yes.

-All right, well, listen,

I hope it goes well for you both, Matt and Pat.

In the final here, a lot of money at stake here for us - £13,000.

Dave, Barry, Kevin, Beth,

you're playing not for money but for something that money can't buy,

which is your reputation,

and to keep this roll going against the celebrities

which, of course, we hope you bring to an end today.

As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

They're all General Knowledge and you can confer.

OK? So, Matt and Pat,

the question is, can your two brains bring down these four?

I bet they can. And would you like to go first or second?

Winning formula from Matt last time

so he went second so we're going to stick with second.

All the best. Here we go, General Knowledge.

First question to the Eggheads.

Who directed the 2016 film La La Land?

-Damien Chazelle.

-Damien Chazelle.

-Damien Chavelle?

-CHAZELLE, yes.

-Chazelle.

-Damien Chazelle.

Well, I haven't seen it, but fortunately

three of my colleagues are aware of the answer to this

and we're going for Damien Chazelle.

Damien Chazelle, who did Whiplash as well.

You're absolutely right.

It's a work of genius.

Have you seen it, La La Land?

Not yet, but I would have snuck that.

Old-fashioned and really good.

Yeah. Yeah, I've heard good reports.

Yeah. OK, here we go, your question.

Which of these is a term for the pelt of a beaver?

The pelt of a beaver?

What do you think? Let's work this one out.

What comes... A skelm comes to me.

I don't know the reasoning behind that but...

That's as far as I'm getting at the moment.

-A beaver. Plew, forge...

-Forge?

-No, it doesn't sound right, does it?

-Forge.

-Forge.

-Forge of a beaver.

-Forge of a beaver.

Skelm. Skelm.

Plew. Plew? Plew?

Plew, it's just...

Plumage, feathers, no? But that's P-L-U, isn't it?

Yeah, but...

Plew?

It sounds... Skelm doesn't really do it for me.

-It's a bit harsh. It sounds a bit harsh, doesn't it?

-Yes.

I... Plew?

-What do you think?

-I don't think plew.

-You don't think plew.

-If I'm honest.

-So we're going to have a fight here?

This has always been bubbling over all day between me and you!

Centre half and a goalkeeper, you see? This is what happens.

-Skelm.

-Skelm, skelm...

Skelm...

We're digging ourselves a hole here cos we are thinking...

Yes, we are, we are, we are.

-We're thinking it out.

-You think it's not that and...

We're thinking out too much.

Of a beaver.

Skelm of a beaver.

Plew of a beaver.

Forge of a... We've knocked forge out of it.

-Yeah?

-Yeah. Which is always concerning.

The one you dismiss quite regularly is, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-I'm pretending I know,

I'm pretending I've got half a clue there.

No, but you were very strong at the very start when that came.

You had a good hunch on it.

Maybe it was just that skelm is a strong, powerful word, isn't it?

I don't know.

OK, let's go for... Our answer is going to be skelm.

Because he was very strong. Skelm.

OK, it's not forge,

it's not skelm, it is plew.

But I don't know if plew is related to plumage or what,

-I liked your little thought there.

-Yeah.

Would you have known that, plew?

As soon as the choices came up I had a...

Without knowing why, I thought it was plew, but I don't know why,

so I can only assume I must have seen it somewhere.

Yeah, the plew of a beaver.

-OK.

-OK, Eggheads, your question.

What is the name of a traditional Maori greeting

that involves touching of noses?

-Hongi.

-It's hongi.

-Are we all happy with hongi?

Yep. Yep, that's it.

We're all happy with hongi.

Really? I thought you were going to go haka there. What's haka?

-Haka is the war dance.

-The war dance.

Hongi is the right answer.

I was hoping they'd go astray there.

-So, we need this.

-Uh-huh.

-You actually...

Yeah, because you let them go first, you do need this.

OK, come on, guys. Take your time.

Which female politician became Prime Minister of Israel in 1969?

For me, it's Golda Meir.

I went against you last time. I can't dare do it again, can I?

-Because you were right.

-I think it's Golda Meir.

Have you got any reason?

No, no, I didn't. The name is familiar.

-The name is familiar to me.

-Yeah.

-Golda Meir...

The other two, I don't recognise them.

Golda Meir is the one that I... I think.

-If we get this wrong, we're having...

-Well, we're gone,

-but for me it is.

-From that?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, I'll go with you on that.

I'm going to say,

I'm taking a punt on this one, I'm taking the lead on this one...

-Yeah, yeah.

-I'm going to say Golda Meir.

-Golda Meir is quite right.

-Get in!

-Well done.

You have stayed in.

Now, we have to hope the Eggheads fall into confusion

on their third question.

Which Italian football club are sometimes referred to as "I Lupi,"

meaning the Wolves?

-I think it would be Roma, wouldn't it?

-Yes.

-Because they've got the...

They've got the wolf as in Romulus and Remus.

-Yeah, yeah.

-That makes sense.

On their badge. I think there's...

I can't think there's any reason why

Juventus or AC Milan.

Juventus are the Old Lady and Milan are the Rossoneri.

Bianconeri and

AC Milan are Rossoneri.

-Yes.

-I'm sure Roma have got a wolf on their badge.

-I think.

-OK?

-AS Roma.

I think the clue here is the Wolves because a she-wolf

is the symbol of Rome who suckled Romulus and Remus

so on that basis, we're going for AS Roma.

Well, let's check with our footballers, is that right?

I think it's... I would go with that one.

Yeah, it makes sense to us.

If it's right, the contest is over.

The correct answer is AS Roma.

We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

-It's that plew.

-Yeah.

-Well beaten, well beaten.

-The skelm.

-Should have kept quiet.

-No, no,

it was impossible to know and no criticism, and I'm saying that,

I'm hoping you will agree with me, Pat.

And taking consolation that the Eggheads weren't too sure, either

-so we...

-No, they weren't sure!

-I take some comfort out of that.

And it's always a good footballing thing to,

as you say, Pat, to have an argument start

between a goalkeeper and a defender. That's part of football.

Well, he was so successful in his own round,

-I had to go at him, you know.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-An argument or a mix-up?

He was very strong at the start.

Well, thank you so much, team, for coming in.

I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, Perry, every day.

We still feel chuffed about that.

-Commiserations, Challengers. I hope that was fun.

-Yeah, good.

-Good.

-Good stuff. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,

weaving across the pitch and one-touch passing today.

The winning streak continues.

I'm afraid it means that you haven't won the £13,000

so we're going to take that money,

roll it over to our next celebrity show.

Hopefully someone will win it at some point but, my goodness,

the Eggheads are on this roll with the celebrities.

No-one seems to be able to put a shot past them.

Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers

have the brains to do it. Surely somebody can.

There'll be £14,000 to play for.

Until we quiz again, goodbye.
