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 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- How are you feeling today? - Very feisty.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I reckon they are looking a little bit worried today.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Helping to create headlines against our quiz Goliaths are
0:00:42 > 0:00:43the Ron Burgundys.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45This team of familiar faces from
0:00:45 > 0:00:47the world of news presenting can often be
0:00:47 > 0:00:49found asking difficult questions,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52but they have assured me they are also very good at answering them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55In fact, one of the team is so fond of quizzing that he has returned for
0:00:55 > 0:00:57another bash at the Eggheads.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59So, let's meet them.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Charlie Stayt, Presenter of BBC Breakfast.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Babita Sharma,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08presenter for BBC World News and you'll have seen me on Supermarket
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Secrets.- Hello, I'm Martine Croxall.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14I'm a presenter with the BBC News Channel and host of The Papers.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18I'm Sally Magnusson. I'm a presenter on BBC Reporting Scotland,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I spent most of my childhood watching my father host Mastermind,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24and I wish to goodness I had paid more attention.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Hello, I'm Clive Myrie.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I am a BBC News presenter and I am a correspondent.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- So, Charlie and team, hello. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Great to see you. Lovely to have news people in,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I can see you've already slightly intimidated them.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39So... The disc shook a little bit over here, honestly.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And, Charlie, you are coming back for more.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's been a while. I had to recover for quite a long time,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47it's been a long time since I was last here, but...
0:01:47 > 0:01:49What happened last time? I honestly can't remember.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Well, I think I've blurred it out.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I've deliberately got rid of all memory of it.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56There was a point when I went head-to-head with Kevin.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Right.- And at the time, I didn't know that was a very bad idea.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- But it turned out to be.- It is quite a nice screen grab.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06In the booth with Kevin, because he is probably, he's not here today,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09the most knowledgeable person in the English-speaking world.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- I think.- Yeah.- It's quite extraordinary.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- So am I to assume that that maybe didn't go quite as planned, that round?- It didn't go well.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- It didn't go well.- Is there anything you are looking
0:02:17 > 0:02:20for today, Charlie, to answer, or any strong areas?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22No, I would echo the thing you said a moment ago.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I would echo the thought that probably, I speak for all of us here,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27which is that we are so much more
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- happy asking questions than answering them.- Absolutely.- Yep.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- That's so true.- It's horrible.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Yeah. Babita, do you feel the same about that?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Absolutely. We are feeling pretty nervous, I'd say.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42We are well out of our comfort zone.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45We really are out of our comfort zone. Any tips, Jeremy, for us?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Well, just don't snatch at it. That would be the main thing.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Occasionally we've just had people go for the first thing and sometimes
0:02:53 > 0:02:55get it wrong, but I don't know.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57What is your famous tip, Judith?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You've got a brilliant one. Always choose the Pacific...?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Oh, yes, islands live in the Pacific.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05If it's food, it's bound to be cheese.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08If you don't know about the animal, it's an antelope.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Right, OK. Well, there...
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Very good.- Yes.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13So we've learned a few workarounds here.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- But that could make... - She could be bluffing.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16She could well be.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Just trying to... - That is how I operate.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Do you quiz yourself, Martine? Have you quizzed at all?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22No, I try to avoid it.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I don't like not having a pen.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I don't like not having an earpiece or an autocue to read.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30It's terrifying. All of us, I think, we said, "Yes, yes, let's do it."
0:03:30 > 0:03:32And the very next minute, you put the phone down and you think,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34"Why did I agree to that?"
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Of course, for many of us, our quiz background is your dad's
0:03:37 > 0:03:39programme, Sally. Isn't it?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Yes.- That was my childhood, watching it.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I know, and I do wish more had rubbed off on me.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48We played Mastermind, I remember, one Christmas,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50there was a Mastermind game had come out,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54and my father sort of superintended this in a very sort of solemn fashion.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55And we were rubbish.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57All of us.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59It was...terribly depressing really.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01So even your father, Magnus,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04had this thing of everyone assumes he knows everything but he doesn't know everything.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Yes, people used to phone him up, you know,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09his name was in the phone book, and people would phone him up and say,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13you know, Magnus, we're just having this wee debate in the club.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Could you help us?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Clive, are you ready for this?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oh, I'm ready for this, yes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I've interviewed presidents, drug lords, gang members,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27all kinds of dodgy folk, and this is the most nervous I've ever been.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, this lot are very dodgy, it has to be said.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33They are scary even in daylight.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34OK. Good luck, challengers.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Thank you.- Good luck, news people.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash for grabs for our challengers'
0:04:39 > 0:04:42chosen charity. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48So, Ron Burgundys, the Eggheads have won the last two celebrity games,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51so the first two celebrity teams came unstuck.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It does mean that there's £3,000 if you beat them today.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Would you like to try?- Yes!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Brilliant. Said with a real determination.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06And you can choose either Judith or Beth, perhaps Steve or Lisa.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Who would like music? - Who's taking music?
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Somebody said they wanted...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Who do we dump that subject on?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- I don't mind.- I think it was you.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Yeah. Is it going to be me?- I don't mind.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19You're being very magnanimous.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Let's try it.- Babita, OK.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I thought that maybe the planning had come unstuck at an early stage
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- there.- Planning?- Planning?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29You had a conversation... ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:05:29 > 0:05:31You had a conversation but you couldn't remember it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33OK. All right, Babita, which Egghead?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Oh...- No-one is obviously bad at music.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- I would say.- Yeah?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- OK.- OK, Steve.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Yeah. All right. So, Babita from the Ron Burgundys versus Steve
0:05:43 > 0:05:46from the Eggheads on Music, and to ensure there is no conferring,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48please go to our famous question room.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So, Babita, you present Newsday for BBC World News.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Yes, that's right.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57And that gives you complete sort of international viewpoint, doesn't it?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yes, it's fascinating, because we get to find out a lot about what is
0:06:00 > 0:06:04going on in the world in some of the most obscure places and some places
0:06:04 > 0:06:06that people are so familiar with as well.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08If I take people round the main BBC building,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11you go to the BBC News Channel, which does more domestic stories,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13and then... It's -3, the floor you are on.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17We are way down in the basement, below the basement in fact.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22We have a fantastic studio, -3, of Broadcasting House in the BBC.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27It is fantastic, but it is very low and no windows and very dark.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Yeah, no windows, but I go down there and the whole world opens up,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32because I never know what story you are going to be doing,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34and that must be a joy actually.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Yeah, it's fantastic. We've covered so many different breaking news
0:06:37 > 0:06:39stories, and that is the beauty of what we do,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42because you just don't know what is going to happen in any given day,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44and I think... I love that, you know.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Living by the very edge of your seat, really.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49OK. So, your choice, Babita.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We go to music. Would you like to go first or second?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Second.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Steve, your first question is this.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01The band Black Sabbath is best known for playing what type of music?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Black Sabbath...
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Ah. Yeah, I'm just try to picture them doing jazz.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10It's heavy metal, Jeremy.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It is indeed. Name a song.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Black Sabbath? Paranoid.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Paranoid. Babita, your first question.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20What type of musical instrument is the mandolin?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Is the mandolin...?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Stringed.- Stringed is right.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Well done.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34So far the news team have not got a question wrong.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Can we stop now?- We can stop now, thank you.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39We'll see you tomorrow.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42OK, Steve, your question. Which of these singers was born first?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Hmm. It's obviously not Michael Buble.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Um...
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Well, Tony Bennett is still around.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I know he's old.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59But because Frank Sinatra is not,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'm tempted to say Frank Sinatra,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03so that'll be my answer.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05You see how they work? He's just
0:08:05 > 0:08:08deciding which one of them is not alive any more. That...
0:08:08 > 0:08:10That is the brilliant logic.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Frank Sinatra is the right answer.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15OK, Babita, your second question.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18"I walked across an empty land,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21"I knew the pathway like the back of my hand."
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Are the opening lyrics to which song?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Is this...
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I think I know the answer.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Please be right.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Somewhere Only We Know, by Keane.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Can you sing it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I'm not going to do that on air.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45You thought about it, though.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I did. I thought, can I do that?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- No.- Somewhere Only We Know by Keane is correct.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Yes!- Yes!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Goodness knows how Karma Police starts, but it's not that.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Steve, you've got the third question now.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Justin Bieber's 2015 UK hit single Love Yourself
0:09:02 > 0:09:06was co-written with Benny Blanco and which other singer?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Love Yourself.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well, I could conceivably go wrong on this, because I don't know,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17but I do know that Ed Sheeran has
0:09:17 > 0:09:19written some stuff with Justin Bieber,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22and he tends to write for a lot of people.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25So on the basis of that, we'll say it's Ed Sheeran.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Ed Sheeran is correct.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Well done. Great song.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Great songwriter. OK, Babita.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Bit of pressure now. Because you let him go first.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Get this right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Get it wrong...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38And you will be in the sin bin.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Here's your question. Which composer famously wrote a ballet to be
0:09:42 > 0:09:47performed by elephants and another about a game of poker?
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Which composer?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58I know that Clive Myrie is going to be thinking, I can answer this one,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01because he is an expert in classical music.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02And I'm not.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I'm going to go for a complete guess.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11And go for...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Igor Stravinsky.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Igor Stravinsky, let's see if Clive knows.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Clive?- I actually think I'd go for Stravinsky as well.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22He would do the same as you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Eggheads?- Well, Stravinsky wrote ballets...
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Yes.- Not sure the other two did.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28No-one is completely certain.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29But you are right, Babita.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Yes!- Well done. It is Igor Stravinsky.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Playing well, newshounds.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37All right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38It gets a bit harder, as you know.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I don't give you alternative answers.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Your question, Sudden Death.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47Which work by George Gershwin is set in Catfish Row in South Carolina?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Porgy and Bess.- Porgy and Bess is right.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Babita, Marilyn Monroe and Shoes Upon The Table are songs from which
0:10:56 > 0:10:57long-running musical
0:10:57 > 0:11:01first professionally performed in Liverpool in 1983?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05A long-running musical...
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Marilyn Monroe.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Shoes Upon The Table.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15My brain has gone completely blank when it comes to musicals,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17and I'm trying to think...
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Can I have a clue?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Oh, no, this is going to really bug me. I bet the answer is...
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Liverpool, 1983, musicals.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Come on.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Um...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I don't know.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Want to name any musical?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I can name a lot of musicals, but they don't seem to fit,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44and all the ones that are coming to mind are, like, Phantom of the Opera,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Miss Saigon, and none of those...
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Mary Poppins, I'm thinking Marilyn Monroe, Shoes On The Table,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53and it's got to be...
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Oh...
0:11:55 > 0:11:58What's wrong with me? Why can I not think?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Some Like It Hot.- OK.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It's not that. Let me see whether the challengers know.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Challengers?- We have an answer, yeah.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Do you want to tell me?- I think Liverpool is the key.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Yeah.- Willy Russell. Liverpool.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Go on.- Blood Brothers.- Blood Brothers...- Aw!- ..is the answer.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I just went to see that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Did you?- Yes!- No!
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Retrospectively, Jeremy, come on now!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- No, seriously...- I did!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Oh, no.- Aawww...
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Sorry, Babita.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Steve has won through. Steve has knocked you out.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Steve will be in the final.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Please return to us, both of you, and we'll play the next round.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38So the Ron Burgundys have lost a brain from the final round.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39The Eggheads have not lost any yet.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41But I know they feel it coming.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46The next subject is Science.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Who would like this?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Oh, no! No-one wants this.- Come on.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51There must be a scientist there.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Charlie?- Well, look, the agreement we had, which is I think a really
0:12:54 > 0:12:56bad agreement, but I sort of put
0:12:56 > 0:12:59forward the idea that any subject that no-one else wanted...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01It was going to come to me.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- OK. All right.- And science was one of them.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04- Yeah.- And you are team captain.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- It was one of the 10.- Anyone who knows me will know this is very,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10very bad. But there you go.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Well, it ranges all over, science, doesn't it?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It goes chemistry, it goes biology, it's plant life,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16it's the periodic table, it's the whole thing. So good luck, Charlie.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Nobody has it all covered.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Charlie from the Ron Burgundys versus who?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I'm going to go for Judith,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26purely on the basis that she's been kind of giving me a weird look.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29And I don't know what it's about,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31but I think we just need to get it sorted out.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32- It's just very...- Well, let's go and sort it out.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35She's psyching you out, man. Psyching you out.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38That is what she does. She pretends to be a bit absent, and then bang!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- She's on it.- Oh. OK. Shall I change my mind now or...?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43No, you are with one of the great legends of quizzing, of course.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Because Judith is the first millionaire winner on Who Wants To
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Be A Millionaire?- And the only winning woman.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- The only woman ever to have won a million.- Woo!
0:13:50 > 0:13:51- That's right.- Go, sister.- So,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Charlie from the Ron Burgundys plays the legendary Judith.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Can I call you that?- Oh, do, Jeremy.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59From the Eggheads. Please go to the question room now.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Charlie, I should ask about the team name, the Ron Burgundys.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05What do you think of the name, Jeremy?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It made me laugh. And even as I said it at the start,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I noticed all your team laughed as well,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11so you were enjoying your own joke.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well, you see, the thing is, I think the theory was that people,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I think in the news business, as you probably know, Jeremy,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19they can take themselves quite seriously sometimes.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23So it was our nod to the fact that, you know, it's not that serious.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25And that we are going to get our comeuppance.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Yeah.- Well...
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Isn't there a great moment where Steve Carrell in it plays the not
0:14:30 > 0:14:32very clever news person and there is an argument and he wants to join in
0:14:32 > 0:14:35but he doesn't know what to say so he just shouts loud noises?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Have you seen that? Do you know which film we're talking about, Judith?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41No, I haven't seen it.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- What is it?- It's called Anchorman.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Oh, Anchorman. I think I...
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- No, I haven't seen it.- For those who don't know,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Ron Burgundy was this fictional character in a film,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53played by Will Ferrell, and the film was Anchorman, and it is very funny,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Charlie.- It's a very funny film,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58and the wonderful thing about Will Ferrell, of course,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00was in that performance as Anchorman,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03masses of confidence but he was absolutely hopeless,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05which was the joy of the whole thing, really.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08So, Charlie, tell us about Breakfast and the joy of doing that.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Well, the joy of doing Breakfast is...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I mean, people always ask me about the hours,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14and the hours can be a bit tricky sometimes,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17but once you've got over that thing, it's just a joy.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Everyday, you know, different people.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20You know what it's like. You have, you know...
0:15:20 > 0:15:24You interview the world on those programmes, and it is an absolute joy.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26And I saw you cycling in a velodrome once.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Was that for Breakfast or something else?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Yes, we had one of those challenges.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32We used to do a Christmas challenge, that was.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34We were all challenged to do a lap
0:15:34 > 0:15:37in the velodrome in the best possible time. And I won.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40That's the important thing.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- And you also sang with the US tenor Noah Stewart.- Yes.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46He came in for an interview and...
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Deep, dark somewhere, I fancy myself as a singer,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53and we just had a little duet together,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55just a moment. It was lovely.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57There's no end to your talents, because you've danced as well,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59on Children in Need. I'm just thinking,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02the Strictly thing does come around Breakfast quite a lot,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04so you are going to have to be ready for that, Charlie.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05It's not coming my way.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09And anyone who'd seen me do the Children in Need dance would know that.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I'll tell you what happens. With the newsreaders,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15when they used to do the dancing thing, when I did it a couple of times,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19there was a big effort from all the men to get as far as you can to the
0:16:19 > 0:16:21back. That was really what it was about.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24The choreography was about sort of going backwards as much as you could.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26OK, well, no place to hide in the Science round.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Charlie, you are up against Judith,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32whose most famous moment was when you beat a ballistic missiles expert
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- on science.- The rocket scientist?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- The rocket scientist.- Yes. It sounded good.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- We still talk about it.- But I beat him because I knew a flower and he
0:16:40 > 0:16:42didn't know a bird or something.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Yes, that's right. But don't spoil the story.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Science, Charlie. Do you want to go first or second?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I'll go first.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Here is your first question. Good luck, Charlie.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00A geologist would typically be an expert in which of these subject areas?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I will go for rocks.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I'm saying that confidently because it is probably the only one that I
0:17:09 > 0:17:12will be confident about, so here's hoping I'm right.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- I'm going for rocks.- A geologist is an expert in rocks.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20You're right. Judith, by what name are meteors commonly known?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Meteors. That's shooting stars, aren't they?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Yes, they are shooting stars.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Well done.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Back to you, Charlie. In which century was the astronomer Edwin Hubble born?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42OK, so I'm thinking... Immediately I'm thinking,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44probably like a lot of people, the Hubble telescope.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48That doesn't actually lead me anywhere.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49I just said those words.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52It doesn't really take me anywhere at all.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Having said that, then I'm into the guesswork territory.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59So I'm going to think, I'm thinking...
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I'm thinking early but not that early,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05so I'm going to plump for the 17th.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11And it's pretty much a guess, but I'm sort of hoping.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13OK, so the 17th is your answer.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Let's see. If Kevin was here, he'd
0:18:15 > 0:18:18give us the birth and the death year. Can anyone do that?
0:18:18 > 0:18:19- No.- Can you do that?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22No, I can only... He's from the 19th-century,
0:18:22 > 0:18:23but I can't give the exact years.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27OK. 19th-century, Charlie.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Bit later than we thought.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Is there a logical way of getting to that, Eggheads?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Maybe the lenses or the...
0:18:34 > 0:18:35He's just a modern man.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37There are photographs of Edwin Hubble.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- He's from our time.- Ah.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41There is a photograph of him, Charlie.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Oh, OK.- That's a clue.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Well, obviously, I should have...
0:18:45 > 0:18:46I should have known that. What was he doing?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Looking through his telescope?- I don't know.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50He was born in 1889.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- OK.- Judith, your question.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56The scientist Louis Pasteur is best known for his work in which field?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Pasteurising.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Um... I suppose that is Microbiology.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Germs. He's good at germs, wasn't he?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Microbiology is quite right.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Yes, germs... Yes, exactly.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Microbiology is right.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14I know you knew that, Charlie.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Well, do you know, you...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I don't know if you are saying that seriously, Jeremy.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19But I actually did know that answer.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22No, but I knew you knew it. I just thought you are having that thought
0:19:22 > 0:19:23of, "Oh, I wish I had that one."
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Yeah, I was actually.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26But it's very sporting of you not to say it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- Yeah.- OK. What name is given to the Northern boreal forest regions of
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Eurasia and North America that are thought to occupy about 17 % of the
0:19:36 > 0:19:38land area of the world?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41And boreal we're spelling B-O-R-E-A-L, just so you know.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48So, as I look at those three words, Jeremy,
0:19:48 > 0:19:53the truth is I can only recall ever seeing one of them ever before.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Which is Tundra.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02And I can't think of any... I can't think of any language issues or...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Or clues elsewhere.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07So I'm going to have to go with Tundra.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Tundra is your answer.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Judith, do you know this?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Well, it's not Steppe, because
0:20:11 > 0:20:13steppes are great plains, aren't they,
0:20:13 > 0:20:14rather like prairies.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I'm not sure about Taiga, though.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Any Eggheads know this?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It's Taiga.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Taiga. Why is it taiga?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It's just the enormous birch forest,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- conifers that stretch halfway around the world.- OK.- The steppes are
0:20:27 > 0:20:30treeless and the tundra is sort of grass and ice, so...
0:20:30 > 0:20:33So Pat says steppes are treeless and the tundra is grass and ice,
0:20:33 > 0:20:37and it is Taiga, Charlie, is the correct answer.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Oh, Judith, that means you are through.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41There's no way back for Charlie here.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So you are in the final round, Judith.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Oh!- Sorry, team captain, you've been knocked out.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Please return and rejoin your team-mates.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53So, as it stands, the Ron Burgundys have lost a second brain from the
0:20:53 > 0:20:55final round, and it is the captain as well.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56The Eggheads are all still sitting there,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58looking a little bit too confident.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Time to take them down a peg or two.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01The next subject is Politics.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Oh, now, it's going to be a fight now, isn't it?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Clive? It's got your name on it.- OK.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10OK, Clive. This is yours.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Against whom?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14And you can have Pat, Beth or Lisa?
0:21:14 > 0:21:15I'm feeling Beth.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Yeah.- Um, Beth?
0:21:17 > 0:21:18If that's at all possible?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Yes, sure. Clive from the Ron Burgundys is taking on Beth from the
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Eggheads on Politics. Let's see if the tide turns now.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Please go to the question room.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29So, Clive, how is your politics?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Not too bad if it's American politics.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Actually I'm much better on foreign politics than I am on domestic
0:21:38 > 0:21:41politics, having been a foreign correspondent for 15 years.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43So I haven't done a stint at Westminster,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47I haven't done domestic reporting of politics by and large,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50so this is going to be interesting.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54I think it's fine, because politics can range far beyond these shores,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58so... And you've been to about 80 countries actually, as a reporter.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I've been around a bit, been around a bit.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I've got the grey hairs, or lack of hair at the moment, to prove it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07And at some point your passport is just full of obscure stamps.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I've got so many passports, it's really quite ridiculous,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12old ones that obviously don't work any more.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14But, yeah, I've been...
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Part of the reason I got into journalism was to travel.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I just love travelling to all kinds of different places and I have
0:22:20 > 0:22:22fulfilled my dream really.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- It's great.- Do you get to a point, Clive, where...
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Well, it used to be the bleeper,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27now I guess it is the mobile goes off and they say,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30we need you at Heathrow in two hours, and you just think,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm not really into that now.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Yeah, yeah. You know, as you get older, Jeremy, I mean,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36you know what it's like...
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- I do, actually.- You don't want to have to crawl out of bed at five in
0:22:38 > 0:22:41the morning to get a plane, which of course is what I did to get here for
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Eggheads.- Yeah, it never stops.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- Never stops.- Good luck.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- OK, thank you.- Up against Beth, again one of our new Eggheads,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and Clive you can go first or second.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52I'm going to go first.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Right, here we go with your first question, Clive.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Good luck. What term is used in an election to describe ballot papers
0:23:03 > 0:23:07that have been filled in incorrectly?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Well, if you are burning ballots, that is arson,
0:23:14 > 0:23:15that's pretty serious.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17I don't think it is ripped ballots.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I'm going to go for spoiled ballots.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Spoiled ballots is quite right.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Well done. Beth, your question.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Which of these countries has been ruled by a
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Communist government for over 50 years?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Um...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Communist...
0:23:37 > 0:23:38I'm hoping that's Cuba.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43It is indeed Cuba. You looked uncertain for a second.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I did. For a second.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47In recent upheaval.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48OK, Clive, you've been to Cuba, Clive?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I have. I have.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Love the country.- Since Castro or...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- During?- No, no, no, this was during Castro.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58This was 1998, 1999.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Here is your question. Which of these countries, Clive,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04is not a member of the European Union?
0:24:08 > 0:24:14Well, France is certainly part of the European Union.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16It is one of the founding members.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Italy certainly is a member,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21so I will pluck for Russia.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Yes. I'm glad you got that right.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Although...
0:24:27 > 0:24:29we put the UK in there, it might have been a difficult one.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31That would have been tough.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Beth, your second. In which year did
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Screaming Lord Sutch first stand for
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Parliament as a candidate for the Monster Raving Loony Party?
0:24:46 > 0:24:50I'm not sure he would have been old enough...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Possibly for '53. 2003, no,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56he was around before then. I'll go for 1983.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Yes, absolutely. 1983.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Two each.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04And back to you, Clive. Get this one right, this is...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06This may be important.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I said it like a newsreader, there.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Thanks, Jeremy.- This may be grave.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15All right, here we go. What was the occupation of Theresa May's father?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Now, Theresa May...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I'm not feeling Anglican minister.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I actually don't know the answer.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34So I'm just telling you what I'm feeling.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36A financial consultant or chemist?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I'm going to go for chemist.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44I'm going to check with your colleagues.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Martine?- No, Anglican minister.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47The middle one.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's Anglican minister, Clive.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Oh! The thing I wasn't feeling.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Argh!
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Beth, your question, you can take the round with this.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03What medical condition prevented Donald Trump from serving in the US Army in the Vietnam War?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I thought this was something to do with his feet.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16And therefore the only thing that could probably...
0:26:16 > 0:26:17heel spurs so...
0:26:17 > 0:26:18I think it's bone spurs.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22You are in the final, there. Well done. Bone spurs it is. Three out of
0:26:22 > 0:26:25three. Clive, sorry, they are playing well today.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- No worries. Well done, Beth. - I must apologise.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Have you even got a question wrong yet, Eggheads?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31No, that's Kirsty for the next one, isn't it?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- I don't know if you have.- That's a jinx.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Oh, sorry, I'm always blamed for jinxing them.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38But, Clive, you've been beaten by our Egghead, I'm afraid,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41and knocked out. It's looking tricky but not impossible for our
0:26:41 > 0:26:44brilliant Ron Burgundys. Rejoin your teams, one more round to play.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49As it stands, the Ron Burgundys have lost three brains from the
0:26:49 > 0:26:51final round. What is the news equivalent of that?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53That is half the bulletin going...
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- It just doesn't go on air.- Just as you go on air.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Yeah. All the stories drop off.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Yeah.- Autocue fails.- Earpieces are...
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- And the director shouts, "Fill!" - Yeah.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06They get another presenter.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09But you can still win. We've still got a chance of some breaking news
0:27:09 > 0:27:11here, so the Eggheads are still sitting there,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13they're just sort of having a routine day.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16As far as they are concerned, you've got to take them down.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Surprise them. It's Sport now.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Oh, no!
0:27:19 > 0:27:21This is a disaster.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Don't worry.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26The two people who really shouldn't be answering sport.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- We know nothing about sport. - You'll have to toss a coin for this.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30How much less about sport do I know than you?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34That is the question. Oh, this is...
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Oh, no. Well, it's tactics.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Who wants to end up in the final, on their own?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Don't worry at all.- Shall I have a go?- I'm really bad on sport.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Shall I have a go?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- OK.- Yeah. Go on.- Take one for the team.- Go one.- Go on, Martine.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51So we're going to have a Magnusson in the final, OK, that's good.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53And, Martine, honestly, this couldn't...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Don't worry. It can go well, here.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- Don't worry?!- Who would you...?
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- I'm left on my own, you'll get this. Come on.- This is the worst category
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- of all.- Listen, so we're going for Lisa or Pat now.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Who doesn't watch sport very much?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I think I'm going to pick Lisa, Jeremy.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Martine from the Ron Burgundys versus our own Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Are you ready for this, Lisa?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18That was Martine's first right answer, because the gulf between
0:28:18 > 0:28:20what Pat knows about sport and what I know about
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- sport is this big.- OK.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Good.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25So she says.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28You've still got to face Pat in the final.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29Please go to the question room.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Martine, how did this happen?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36I don't know. This is the worst thing that could have happened.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39When you are on the news channel and you say, now the sport,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41I guess normally somebody else does it, do they?
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Absolutely they do.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45If it's about Leicester City, I might be within a fighting chance,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48because I'm from Leicestershire and I followed their...
0:28:48 > 0:28:52journey towards winning the Premier League last year,
0:28:52 > 0:28:56but that is about geography, because I'm from the county, that's it.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Well, tell us what took you into journalism originally.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Being nosy. And wanting to ask lots of questions.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05And never being satisfied with the answer, really, I guess.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09And I saw a great story about you, after you graduated, thinking,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11"What do I do now?" And there was some advert you saw.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Yes. I wanted to travel, because I had done a geography degree,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16and I thought, well, I've learned all about it,
0:29:16 > 0:29:17I better go and see some of it.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21There was a little advert in a free newspaper, and it said,
0:29:21 > 0:29:25adventurous people wanted for a trip to Africa, phone Dave.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28So I did. And I went, with Dave and a load of other people,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30on an old truck across Africa.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Gosh, how great, because most people, Lisa, would probably say,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I'm not ringing Dave in 1,000 years.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Maybe we all need to be as adventurous as Martine.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Did you still enjoy news and news reporting?
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Is it still fresh every day?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Absolutely, because you never know quite what you are going to get,
0:29:45 > 0:29:50do you? You go in and you think you are going to cover a certain amount of stories, and then something
0:29:50 > 0:29:52dramatic happens somewhere and it all changes.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56And I'm just realising the geography round was your round and it hasn't come up. I feel terrible.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Clearly you are a geographer.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Yes, that would have been my preference, although,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01if it had come up and I'd done really badly,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03that would have been really embarrassing.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06OK. So at least with sport I've got an excuse.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08All right, well, listen, good luck turning it around
0:30:08 > 0:30:10for the Ron Burgundys here. You are up against Lisa.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11Lisa, you and Sport,
0:30:11 > 0:30:15they were trying to divine how interested you are in it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16I do love my sport,
0:30:16 > 0:30:21but I have this sort of weird inverse knowledge thing going on.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22The more minor a sport is,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24the more likely I am to be able to tell you about it.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27So, you know, figure skating or rodeo, I might have some idea,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30but, you know, give me a cricket question and I'm stumped.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- Yeah...- Pardon the pun. - Very good, very good.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36All right, on that note - Sport, Martine,
0:30:36 > 0:30:37do you want to go first or second?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39First, please.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Here we go. Good luck.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Who officially succeeded Sam Allardyce
0:30:47 > 0:30:50as England football manager in November 2016?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57I really should pay more attention
0:30:57 > 0:30:59during the sports bulletins, shouldn't I?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Um...I know it's not David Platt.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I don't think it's Stuart Pearce.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09It's a kind of a semi-guess.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Gareth Southgate.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Yes, you've got it right. Well done. Gareth Southgate.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Lisa. In tennis,
0:31:16 > 0:31:21what is called when a serve clips the top of the net
0:31:21 > 0:31:24but still lands correctly in the court? Lisa, is it...?
0:31:28 > 0:31:29That's a let.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31That is a let.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Back to you, Martine.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35In which year did Phil "The Power" Taylor
0:31:35 > 0:31:37become a world darts champion for the first time
0:31:37 > 0:31:39by taking the BDO title?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48He's a name that I'd been aware of only more recently,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51not that I'm a regular darts follower.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54I'm going to go for 2010.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Now, this is an interesting one.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59If we had Dave here, he would recite this immediately.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Lisa, do you know?- Well, given that he's a 16 time world champion,
0:32:02 > 0:32:03mostly in the PDC titles,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06and he's been winning those, I think, since the early '90s,
0:32:06 > 0:32:07he has been around an awfully long time.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I probably would have gone 1990.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Yeah, 1990 is the answer.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12That far back.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14I-I beg his pardon.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17There we go. 1990. That's actually a really interesting question,
0:32:17 > 0:32:19I would never have gone back that far.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22OK, Lisa, to take the lead, your second question.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Which of these sportsmen announced
0:32:24 > 0:32:28his shock retirement from competition in December 2016?
0:32:33 > 0:32:37I think Novak Djokovic has definitely got unfinished business
0:32:37 > 0:32:38on the tennis court,
0:32:38 > 0:32:40and Ronnie's still playing -
0:32:40 > 0:32:43it was Nico Rosberg, after he won the world title.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Nico Rosberg is quite right.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Yes, the idea that Lisa doesn't know anything about sport
0:32:48 > 0:32:50is a sort of relative concept.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51Relative concept.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Hang on, hang on, hang on - I said I know less about sport than Pat.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- OK, that's true. - That's also a relative concept.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58That is true.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Now, that means this is quite an important moment here, Martine.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- I know. I know.- You've got to get this right to stay in.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07If you get it wrong, Sally is on her own in the final -
0:33:07 > 0:33:09and she's looking a little bit worried now!
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- Sorry, Sal.- Yes, I realise the enormity of the situation.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14The script is written here - we have a Magnusson in the final
0:33:14 > 0:33:16and she takes down the Eggheads.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17That's what we're looking for.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19OK, so,
0:33:19 > 0:33:22third question to you, Martine.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25The world champion boxer Ricky Burns was born in which country?
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Ricky Burns.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Oh, dear.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I'm just going to go with his surname. Burns.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Which...
0:33:42 > 0:33:46This is a totally instinctive guess.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48That is the best I've got.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I'm going to say Scotland.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Scotland. Does your team know?
0:33:53 > 0:33:54I think it's Northern Ireland.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56You think it's Northern Ireland. Lisa?
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- I actually don't know.- Ah!
0:33:58 > 0:33:59- Ooh! - OK, well, we'll go to the Oracle.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Pat?- Well, I, initially, was very bullish on Scotland,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04but I'm now wondering about Northern Ireland.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06I thought I saw Sally shake her head, there.
0:34:06 > 0:34:07- Is it...?- It is Scotland.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- Is it?- Ooh!
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Well, just as well I wasn't chosen for that. Well done.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15I'm not out of the woods yet, though, am I?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17No, not out of the woods, but let's see.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19If Lisa gets this right, you will be knocked out, but she may not.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Lisa, your third question.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23I can feel a whole... What was the Blair quote?
0:34:23 > 0:34:26The hand of history on our shoulders here.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28This is the moment in the contest.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Is this the turning point?
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Lisa, in 2016,
0:34:31 > 0:34:35the Australian Wayne Bennett became the coach of the England team
0:34:35 > 0:34:37in which sport?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Oh, Lisa, you know this. Come on.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45You know this.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49It's the fact I think I know it
0:34:49 > 0:34:52that would make me think it was probably rugby league, but...
0:34:56 > 0:34:59I don't pay that much attention to the other two.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03That is enormously irritating.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Could I have the question one more time, please, Jeremy?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07In 2016,
0:35:07 > 0:35:11the Australian Wayne Bennett became the coach of the England team
0:35:11 > 0:35:12in which sport?
0:35:12 > 0:35:16OK, you did say "the" coach...
0:35:16 > 0:35:18so I think I can steer away from rugby union.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22You know how I feel about cricket.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25So it could be cricket. I think I'll try rugby league.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27The answer is rugby league.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Well done, Lisa. You've taken the round again.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32I'm sorry - they're playing so well, news people.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34What can I say? I'm actually... I'm very sorry about this.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37They are playing out of their socks here, these Eggheads.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Lisa's in the final.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Trouble for the Ron Burgundys.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Return to us, please, and we'll see what happens next.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47So, all very exciting in this celebrity edition,
0:35:47 > 0:35:49and this is what we've been playing towards.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51It is final round time.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53As always, General Knowledge -
0:35:53 > 0:35:55but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:35:55 > 0:35:57are not allowed to take part in this round.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00So, all from the Challengers' side, Charlie, Babita,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Martine and Clive from the Ron Burgundys,
0:36:03 > 0:36:05would you please now leave the studio?
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Sally, what can I say?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10What can I say?!
0:36:10 > 0:36:13It wasn't... I know that your colleagues back there
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- are cheering you on. That's the main thing.- I know.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16Aren't you, colleagues?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- ALL:- Yes! - Yes, yes, yes -
0:36:18 > 0:36:20and tell us about the work you do now.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24I spend some of my time presenting Reporting Scotland,
0:36:24 > 0:36:27which is the BBC news programme in Scotland.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30I write a lot, both non-fiction -
0:36:30 > 0:36:34and I'm just in the process of completing my first novel.
0:36:34 > 0:36:40- Right.- I also founded a charity for music and dementia,
0:36:40 > 0:36:42and I help to run that a lot of the time, as well.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Because I know you wrote a book about your mum...
0:36:44 > 0:36:45- I did, I did.- Yeah.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Of course, you have the Mastermind connection
0:36:47 > 0:36:49through your father, Magnus Magnusson -
0:36:49 > 0:36:52and Pat, you've got a Mastermind connection,
0:36:52 > 0:36:54because you were champion in...
0:36:54 > 0:36:552005.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59And then, even better than that, champion of champions.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- Um...- 2010.- 2010. Yeah.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Did you not know the answer to that question?
0:37:03 > 0:37:07If you'd given me options, I'd have been all right.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08See, this is terrifying, Jeremy.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11We used to sit at home watching my dad do Mastermind
0:37:11 > 0:37:14and these very, very clever people in the chair,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17and think, "Oh, thank goodness we're not actually in that chair,"
0:37:17 > 0:37:19and my father would say that, as well.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Thank goodness he's never had to answer a question...
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- and here I am.- Oh, well. Oh, well.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Well, listen, I've seen them fall into confusion
0:37:27 > 0:37:28when all five of them are there.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Sometimes they start discussing something
0:37:30 > 0:37:31and then an argument breaks out -
0:37:31 > 0:37:33before you know it, they've got it wrong,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35so, you can definitely win from this position, Sally.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38There's no question. People have done it before, haven't they?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- They certainly have.- Oh, definitely.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44And the Ron Burgundys will be very pleased back there if you do it.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47You are playing to win £3,000, Sally.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Lisa, Steve, Pat, Beth and Judith,
0:37:48 > 0:37:51you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:37:51 > 0:37:53which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn -
0:37:55 > 0:37:57this time they are all General Knowledge,
0:37:57 > 0:37:59and you are allowed to confer.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00So, Sally, the question is,
0:38:00 > 0:38:05is your one brain able to take down these five in a famous victory?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Would you like to go first or second?
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Oh...second.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15And here is your first question, Eggheads.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Here we go. Final round.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17In 2009,
0:38:17 > 0:38:22a pilot named Chesley Sullenberger made an emergency landing
0:38:22 > 0:38:25of a passenger plane into which American River?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Hudson.- It's the Hudson.- Hudson.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Yeah.- You happy with that? Yeah.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35He had just taken off from a New York airport
0:38:35 > 0:38:38and he had to put the plane down in the Hudson.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Hudson is quite right.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Film about it, isn't there?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Yes. Sully.- I've flown it, too.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- You've flown...- I went on a simulator at Farnborough,
0:38:48 > 0:38:50and one of the treats was,
0:38:50 > 0:38:54he said, "Do you want to do Sully's flight?"
0:38:54 > 0:38:57So I flew the plane, and crashed, like a...
0:38:57 > 0:38:59In very dramatic fashion.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01I hear they tried to fly it again with a simulator
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- when they were doing the investigation...- Yeah.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04..and lots of people couldn't do it.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Yeah, you can't... It's very difficult.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Hudson is correct, Eggheads.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Here we go, Sally.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14What do entomophagous creatures eat?
0:39:18 > 0:39:23Entomophagous is E-N-T-O-M-O-P-H-A-G-O-U-S.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Entomophagous.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29Well, I'm thinking that an entomologist would study insects.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Is that right? So...
0:39:32 > 0:39:33I'll go for insects.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Insects is the right answer.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Superb.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39- How about that?- One!
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Sally Magnusson playing the Eggheads.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44Here we are. What about this?
0:39:44 > 0:39:48Eggheads, your question. Which magazine, first published in 1841,
0:39:48 > 0:39:52was originally subtitled The London Charivari?
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Punch?- Punch.- It was Punch.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- I think it's Punch.- Yeah. - Wisden's always been cricket.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- Yeah, that's Punch.- Yes. - The London Charivari.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06We think that's Punch.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Punch is the right answer.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12That's a shame, cos I thought there was just a chance
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- that they wouldn't know that.- Yeah, and there was a chance I did, too.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- Oh, you knew that?- Yeah. - Oh, Sally, OK.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Your question. Who plays the role of Aurora Lane
0:40:21 > 0:40:24in the 2016 science fiction film Passengers?
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Oh, I don't know. I don't know the film.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43My children will just howl with laughter
0:40:43 > 0:40:46at me getting a film question.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Um...
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Will I just guess? Is there a clue there?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Just ask me again!
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- Who plays the role of Aurora Lane... - Aurora Lane.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00..in the 2016 science fiction film Passengers?
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Jennifer Lawrence doesn't feel like science fiction. Um...
0:41:06 > 0:41:08I'm going to try for Amy Adams.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10I have no idea, though.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11Shall I check with your colleagues?
0:41:11 > 0:41:16- Colleagues? - We think Jennifer Lawrence.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17- Yeah.- It is Jennifer Lawrence.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I'm really sorry. The only...
0:41:19 > 0:41:21I was going to say, visualise the film poster,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24because I think she's in... Isn't that right, Clive? She's...
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- there's quite a big picture of Jennifer...- Yeah.- ..in it -
0:41:26 > 0:41:28but what can I say, Sally?
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- It is a tough old question, that. - Mm.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Eggheads, you have a chance to take the contest,
0:41:32 > 0:41:34because Sally let you go first.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Let's hope, here, Sally.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Which man has scored more tries for the Wales rugby union team
0:41:39 > 0:41:41than any other player?
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- Shane Williams?- Well, he certainly was the record-holder for some time.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- Who is it?- He's just retired, hasn't he, not long back?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- Yeah.- Who, Gareth Thomas? - No, Shane Williams.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- Shane Williams... - Was the record-holder.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- I'm sure it's him. - So who could have overtaken him?
0:41:57 > 0:41:58I don't think it's Gareth Thomas.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Last year, I think he packed up.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Sam Warburton is still playing. - He was record holder then.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- He's probably not... - Sam Warburton's only young.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Yeah. He's only young.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09I don't think Sam Warburton's career would have been long enough
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- to be the record try scorer.- Yeah. I think...
0:42:13 > 0:42:14I'd have said Shane Williams.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16He absolutely, definitely has held the record.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18- Yeah. He were when he retired.- Yeah.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19So, unless he's been passing...
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Unless Sam Warburton has put on a tremendous burst of speed.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Gareth Thomas had finished before... - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Are we happy with Shane Williams?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29- Yeah.- Yes.- Happy with that?
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Yes.- That's Shane Williams.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34If it's right,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36the Eggheads have beaten the Ron Burgundys.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Have you got a question wrong in this whole game, Eggheads?
0:42:41 > 0:42:43In the whole contest?
0:42:43 > 0:42:44You know the stats.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Shane Williams is the right answer. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:42:47 > 0:42:48You have won.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Well, honestly, it's not often -
0:42:55 > 0:42:58you correct me if I'm wrong here, Eggs -
0:42:58 > 0:43:00that they get not a single answer wrong.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02I know. I should have gone first. Why did I go second?
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Did you know the rugby question there?
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- I would have gone for Shane Williams.- Would you?- Yeah.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Eggheads, well done.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- He said, through gritted teeth. - We can see that!
0:43:10 > 0:43:11Commiserations, Ron Burgundys.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16They reign supreme over quiz land.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19It means that the £3,000 doesn't go to the news team here,
0:43:19 > 0:43:21so we're going to roll the money over -
0:43:21 > 0:43:25and, at some point, a celebrity team will win it for their charity.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Eggheads, congratulations. Playing well today -
0:43:27 > 0:43:31rare to have you not slip up on a single question, I must say.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:43:33 > 0:43:35have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37There'll be £4,000 to play for.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Until then, goodbye.
