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 > 0:00:30the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits

0:00:30 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Here you are. Are you ready for the race?

0:00:36 > 0:00:38- Yes.- On the blocks. - Good, very good.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Trying to push our Goliaths into second place

0:00:41 > 0:00:43today are the Para-Rangers.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Now, this team of athletes have been thrilling us with their

0:00:46 > 0:00:50sporting excellence at Paralympic Games going back to Sydney 2000.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53They have set world records and won multiple medals.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56But will it be the Eggheads or the Challengers

0:00:56 > 0:00:59running the victory lap at the end of the final round?

0:00:59 > 0:01:01- Let's meet them.- I'm Danny Crates,

0:01:01 > 0:01:05former Paralympic athlete and gold medallist from Athens 2004.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08The only member of the team who has retired.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09An old has-been, I guess.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11But I now work as a motivational speaker

0:01:11 > 0:01:12and a little bit in television.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16Hi, I'm Megan Giglia. I am a para-cyclist, track and road,

0:01:16 > 0:01:20and I am double world champion and world record-holder...

0:01:20 > 0:01:22and scapegoat for the team.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Hi, I'm Jonathan Broom-Edwards, I'm a Paralympic high jumper

0:01:24 > 0:01:27and I won a silver medal at Rio.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Hi, everyone. I am Stef Reid,

0:01:29 > 0:01:32I am a three-time Paralympic medallist in athletics,

0:01:32 > 0:01:37and I am also a broadcaster, a speaker and a fashion model.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Hi, I'm Dan Greaves, British Paralympic discus thrower,

0:01:40 > 0:01:43collecting five Paralympic medals at five games,

0:01:43 > 0:01:46and I also like to bench press.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47So, Danny and team, hello.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Hello.- Hello.- Great to see you.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52And, Danny, I know this is not like your normal activities here.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Are you prepped for this?

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Yeah. I mean, I've played the app.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01I won't tell you how I got on, but I've played the app!

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Eggheads, do you play your own app or not?

0:02:03 > 0:02:04I didn't know we had one!

0:02:04 > 0:02:06You are an app. Judith doesn't even know that.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09You broke the news to her. She doesn't even know she's an app.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11- You're that modern.- Yeah.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Any particular subjects you're strong on, Danny?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Or where you think the team are weak?

0:02:16 > 0:02:19I think my strongest subject is the life and work of Danny Crates,

0:02:19 > 0:02:20former Paralympic athlete.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21JEREMY LAUGHS

0:02:22 > 0:02:26I'm probably more just general knowledge.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28I don't think I've got a specialist field,

0:02:28 > 0:02:30and it's definitely not sport.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Megan, how about you?

0:02:31 > 0:02:35I'm sure at some point you've all been answers on Eggheads, actually.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Well, for me, the only subject that really sticks in my head

0:02:38 > 0:02:42and I actually remember is anything to do with animals and dogs.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45So the chances of that coming up is, eh, fat chance!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48I don't know. Well, that comes up in science.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Judith famously won a science round against a rocket scientist

0:02:52 > 0:02:55on a question about a plant.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yes. Animals, dogs and plants all come into science.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Yeah.- So worth remembering. - I'll get a plant then!

0:03:01 > 0:03:04LAUGHING: OK.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Jonathan, do you watch the show?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07I've watched the show a couple of times.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I've also played the app relentlessly

0:03:09 > 0:03:12over the last 24 hours, trying to practise.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16In terms of a subject I feel I will be better at,

0:03:16 > 0:03:19maybe towards science or music.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23The others - sport, I'm actually quite naive in sport, so...

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Interesting, Danny said that as well.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27So sports people are not necessarily knowledgeable

0:03:27 > 0:03:28about other sports than their own?

0:03:28 > 0:03:30I'm definitely the least knowledgeable

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- out of all of us, I think. - Stef, are you the same?

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Do you know, I love sport?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36The problem is I don't know much about football or cricket.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39I feel like that's probably going to be the most popular.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42But I'm probably going to be most confident in science.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44My background is as a biochemist.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45We're getting a lot of science here.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Did this come out during the strategy session?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'm the scapegoat. So I get whatever they don't know.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Oh, OK. The pressure in the booth, I'm always told, is considerable.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Suddenly you get a question and you've got to get the answer

0:03:57 > 0:03:58out of your own brain.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00But then you're used to pressure, Stef, right?

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Yeah, I think it can sometimes bring out the best in you.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- It's a good thing. - Yeah. Dan, how about you?

0:04:05 > 0:04:09Yeah, this is completely left field and not what we're used to

0:04:09 > 0:04:11but I'm sure, as a team, collectively,

0:04:11 > 0:04:13we'll be able to get a few questions right and put

0:04:13 > 0:04:15the Eggheads under some serious pressure

0:04:15 > 0:04:16like we have our competitors.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18When they go under pressure, these Eggheads,

0:04:18 > 0:04:21they can just suddenly collapse, can't you?

0:04:21 > 0:04:22Yeah. That's definitely going to happen(!)

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Tell our Challengers here, are there gaps in your knowledge? Be honest.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Of course.- Are there things in the world you don't know?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Judith?- There's absolutely nothing in the world I don't know.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34I know everything. The last person in the world who knew everything

0:04:34 > 0:04:36was supposed to be Christopher Wren.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Is that right?- Yeah. - He would have been an Egghead.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- There's a fact.- Well, maybe Kevin -

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Kevin is known as the Grand Master, if you're new to the show -

0:04:43 > 0:04:45would be the modern Christopher Wren.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Oh, thank you very much.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50So far, no-one has asked me to design a cathedral.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Good luck, Challengers.- Thank you.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54All the best. Every day there is £1,000 worth

0:04:54 > 0:04:57of cash up for grabs for our Challengers' chosen charity.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:04:59 > 0:05:02the prize money rolls over into the next show.

0:05:02 > 0:05:03So, Para-Rangers,

0:05:03 > 0:05:07I can tell you the recent celebrity teams have all come a cropper

0:05:07 > 0:05:09with these Eggheads.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11They have won the last seven games.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14That means there's £8,000 for you to win today, which is, in a way,

0:05:14 > 0:05:16very good news. Would you like to try?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18- MEGAN:- Hell, yeah.- Yes.- Great stuff.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26One of you needs to go in against either Judith, Kevin, Pat,

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Steve or Lisa. - I'll go for it if you want.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Yeah!

0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Top man.- Be confident.- Who's this going to be?- Jonathan, yes.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36OK. Jonathan against any one of the five, Jonathan?

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Let's go for Kevin. Just take him on!

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Why not? What a great idea.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Wish me luck. Kevin. Let's do it.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Start early, that's a very good idea.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48I like that. So Jonathan from the Para-Rangers

0:05:48 > 0:05:51is taking on Kevin from the Eggheads right at the start

0:05:51 > 0:05:54on Film & TV. And just to ensure there's no conferring,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Jonathan, your sporting history is really interesting cos you never

0:06:02 > 0:06:05really saw yourself as a Paralympian at all, did you?

0:06:05 > 0:06:08No, I didn't. It wasn't until I'd watched 2012,

0:06:08 > 0:06:10the London Paralympic Games,

0:06:10 > 0:06:13that I saw I could actually have competed as a high jumper.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17And I think my personal best at the time may have got, I think,

0:06:17 > 0:06:20third at London 2012.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22I was classified just after 2012, actually.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25And the condition, I guess, would be called club foot, would it?

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Yeah, club foot. It's otherwise known as talipes equinovarus.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32It's just a congenital deformity at birth.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35So my left foot doesn't function quite like my right one.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Was it thrilling in Rio?

0:06:36 > 0:06:38I know you jumped more than two metres.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Coming back from injury, actually,

0:06:40 > 0:06:44to go out to Rio on the top stage and perform a season's best,

0:06:44 > 0:06:46I was quite happy with that.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49But it's given me the experience to go forward towards Tokyo.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Wonderful. Good luck against Kevin, Jonathan.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Thank you!- Film & TV. Do you want to go first or second?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56I'll go first, please.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02OK, so Film & TV, Jonathan, against Kevin.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Here is your question.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Which of these TV presenters was born first?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13I don't actually know who Ant McPartlin is.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Erm... I know Davina McCall is fairly young in comparison, I think.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20You know what, I'm going to go Ant McPartlin.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Born first. I think you will know Ant.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24He's one half of Ant and Dec.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Oh, no!

0:07:25 > 0:07:27JEREMY LAUGHS

0:07:27 > 0:07:30I think we had a question like this the other day, Eggheads.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Was it you, Judith, who went on who has got the most grey hair?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Yeah. Phillip Schofield's got a lot of grey hair.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Phillip Schofield is the right answer.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37He's got the most grey hair.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39That seems to be the way to answer this one.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Phillip Schofield has famously been grey since he was in his mid-20s,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46and was still working on children's television dying his hair.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47- Dying it un-grey?- Yes.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Really? Phillip Schofield is the answer, Jonathan.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55OK, your question, Kevin. In which part of the world is the 2015 film

0:07:55 > 0:07:57The Revenant set?

0:08:01 > 0:08:07Well, it's set on the frontier in what was to become the USA.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08It's North America.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10North America is quite right.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13OK, Jonathan, back to you. Don't worry.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17The TV comedy series Fresh Meat is set in what sort of institution?

0:08:24 > 0:08:26I believe this is university.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28You're quite right. It is university.

0:08:28 > 0:08:29Well done. Have you seen it?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31I haven't watched it, but I remember it coming out.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34That's good. It would be very easy to go wrong there.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Well done. Level with Kevin.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Kevin, over to you.

0:08:38 > 0:08:43Selasi Gbormittah found fame as a contestant on which TV show in 2016?

0:08:48 > 0:08:49HE SCOFFS

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Right. Not, eh...

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Definitely not my sort of question.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58I don't watch any of those.

0:08:58 > 0:09:03I think at some point I read an article somewhere in relation to...

0:09:05 > 0:09:09..The Apprentice and it gave the names of the various contestants

0:09:09 > 0:09:11and obviously that's quite a distinctive name.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15I don't recall it being one of those.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18I'm afraid as far as Britain's Got Talent is concerned,

0:09:18 > 0:09:20I haven't got the faintest.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23And obviously there are a lot of people...

0:09:23 > 0:09:25involved in that. I've...

0:09:25 > 0:09:26HE SIGHS

0:09:26 > 0:09:29..got a faint idea from somewhere that there was somebody with...

0:09:31 > 0:09:34..an African background, shall we say?

0:09:34 > 0:09:37I may be completely off beam here.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Who was involved in the Great British Bake Off

0:09:40 > 0:09:42and may have had...

0:09:43 > 0:09:44..a distinctive name like that.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46It's all I've got to go on.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Lisa just blew you a kiss. Lisa?

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Yes, Selasi got a long way into the Great British Bake Off.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- He was my favourite. - Well done, Kevin.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56OK, Jonathan.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57- You've got to get this one right.- Yep.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain,"

0:10:01 > 0:10:02is a famous line from which film?

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Could you repeat it, please?

0:10:09 > 0:10:11"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain,"

0:10:11 > 0:10:13is a famous line from which film?

0:10:14 > 0:10:17I'm inclined to say it's not The Wizard Of Oz.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22I'm going with my gut here. I'm going to say Casablanca.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Now, I think your team-mates may know.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Stef and Dan, do you know this?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- We think it's... - The Wizard Of Oz.- ..Oz

0:10:28 > 0:10:29It's Wizard Of Oz.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Oh, my God!- It's the last scene.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Remind us, you've seen it recently, maybe?

0:10:34 > 0:10:35That last scene, is it?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38It's with the wizard, isn't it?

0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Well, he's not.- You find out he's not actually that,

0:10:40 > 0:10:41- you know, big and... - He's not up to much.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44The Wizard Of Oz is the answer, Jonathan.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45So Kevin has knocked you out.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Kevin, you'll be in the final round.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49But it's early days. Come on, Challengers, you can do this.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Do return to us, we'll play Round Two.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56As it stands, the Para-Rangers have lost a brain from the final round.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58The Eggheads are still all sitting there.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Your next subject is History.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Who would like this?

0:11:02 > 0:11:04THEY LAUGH

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Didn't one of our team members say history?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08I thought someone mentioned history earlier.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09I'm the scapegoat, yes.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11There is no scapegoat.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Yeah, right!- No-one wants history?

0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Right, it's mine, there we go. - Go on. Are you sure?

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Yeah, I know naff all. But...let's go for it.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Our cyclist against which Egghead?

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Who looks a little bit unsighted on world events?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28- STEF:- Who is not making eye contact? - That's a very good way.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Steve!

0:11:29 > 0:11:31- LAUGHTER - Steve.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Steve it is.- Unless he's doing some reverse psychology.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40OK, Megan from the Para-Rangers against Steve from the Eggheads,

0:11:40 > 0:11:42on History. Is that OK with you, Megan?

0:11:42 > 0:11:45- I guess it has to be. - It has to be, yeah.

0:11:45 > 0:11:46I'm taking one for the team here.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Please take your positions now.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Well, Megan, firstly, congratulations on Rio.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Thank you.- The first gold, I think, at the Paralympic Games for us?

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Yeah, it was. It came as a bit of a shock, really.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02I didn't have a clue where I was going to place and I came first.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05- What can I say? - And remind us of the event?

0:12:05 > 0:12:07The event was the 3km pursuit in track.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11So basically, I go round in a circle, I chase the person

0:12:11 > 0:12:14in front of me, they're back... behind, and I go past them.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15And that's exactly how I did it.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19And we've noted your T-shirt - OCD, Obsessive Cycling Disorder.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Oh, yeah.- It's become your addiction and your life?

0:12:22 > 0:12:25Oh, very much so. Yeah, it's the biggest part of my life.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28And I know your life changed when you were 27,

0:12:28 > 0:12:30and in the most unexpected way.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Yeah, when I was 27, so January 2013, I actually walked into A&E.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37I was diagnosed, eventually, after going through all the processes,

0:12:37 > 0:12:39of having a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40So basically, a stroke.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42I had a bleed on the brain

0:12:42 > 0:12:44and the only option was to operate.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46So they did that and it left me

0:12:46 > 0:12:48with right-side weakness and a variety of

0:12:48 > 0:12:51neurological and physical difficulties.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53And I use cycling as my focus...

0:12:53 > 0:12:57and look where I am now. I've made what was a negative situation

0:12:57 > 0:13:01- into probably the most positive one in my life.- It's brilliant.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03And I know you also, always, when you compete,

0:13:03 > 0:13:04you talk about other people

0:13:04 > 0:13:06who've had their lives changed by a stroke,

0:13:06 > 0:13:09and they may not be elderly.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Yeah. No. So every ride I do, any main events,

0:13:11 > 0:13:14I dedicate every race to someone and their family,

0:13:14 > 0:13:17because it's not just the survivor, whether it be stroke or cancer,

0:13:17 > 0:13:20it's also the family around them - the carers, the support network.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22They all suffer in their own way.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Just by doing that, it puts a bit of pressure on me.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Not only do I inspire people, they inspire me,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31and it makes me want to win even more.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34And that's where I get my drive and determination and focus from.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36And am I remembering this right,

0:13:36 > 0:13:39in Rio, for you, the focus was a ten-year-old boy?

0:13:39 > 0:13:40Yes, Alasdair Rowan.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42I'm actually going to see him at some point this year.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45I sent him down some goodies for Christmas, and his brother.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48But, yeah, he's planning on smashing me at badminton.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49We'll see what happens.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'm probably going to land on my face, to be fair.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53Well, I bet he's watching now.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Good luck, Megan.- Thank you.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Here we go then. From the Para-Rangers,

0:13:57 > 0:13:59it's Megan, against Steve from the Eggheads.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03And would you like to go first or second on this round, Megan?

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Oh, I'll go first. Let's get it out the park.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12OK, here we go. History, Megan, and your first question.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14The Norman Conquest of Britain,

0:14:14 > 0:14:18led by William the Conqueror, took place in which year?

0:14:22 > 0:14:26Well, I'm sure my partner at home is probably kicking me straightaway

0:14:26 > 0:14:28cos I have no idea.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Numbers just don't stick out at me.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Other than 1066, the Battle of Hastings.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34So I'm just going to kind of go with that,

0:14:34 > 0:14:36but I have a feeling it's probably not.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38Let's check with Steve. Steve?

0:14:38 > 0:14:39Yeah, it's good. That's right.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42And Megan is absolutely right - Battle of Hastings, 1066?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Yeah, yeah.- And that was the whole start of it, right?

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Yeah. That's right, yeah.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49OK, Megan, you're bang-on, well done.

0:14:49 > 0:14:521066...and all that.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55There's book, isn't there, with that title?

0:14:55 > 0:14:58OK, Steve. Which of these historical empires was established first?

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Yeah, I think that must be the Roman Empire, Jeremy.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07What about the Mongols?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- You weren't tempted by that? - No, that's much later.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12How much later?

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Probably about the 12th century, something like that. 13th.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17And then the British Empire obviously got bigger.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19It's like...

0:15:19 > 0:15:22well, probably from the time of Elizabeth I onwards, really.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24The Roman Empire is quite right.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28Well done. Megan, 1-1, back to you.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31In Anglo-Saxon culture, what were barrows?

0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Barrows.- Barrows...

0:15:36 > 0:15:38I just think wheelbarrow.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Where does that fit in? I'm going to go into weapons.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45I like the idea of it just being weaponry, to be fair.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47OK, weapons is your answer.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49It's actually funeral mounds.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52I guess in a funny way they probably look like

0:15:52 > 0:15:53upside-down wheelbarrows.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56But Eggheads, what is the derivation of that word?

0:15:56 > 0:15:57Well, they were mounds,

0:15:57 > 0:15:59because they were mounds of earth that were formed,

0:15:59 > 0:16:01but there were different types.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04There were round barrows, long barrows.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Does the word "barrow" lead us to "mound" in any way?

0:16:07 > 0:16:09No, not as such. It's kind of back derivation.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11They came to be known as barrows

0:16:11 > 0:16:13much later when the early archaeologists

0:16:13 > 0:16:16discovered them. They thought, in fact,

0:16:16 > 0:16:19it was a sort of fancied resemblance to something like

0:16:19 > 0:16:23an upside-down wheelbarrow that made people first use the word, I think.

0:16:23 > 0:16:24- Ah, right.- So the term stuck,

0:16:24 > 0:16:27even though other types were later discovered.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30OK. Steve, your question, to take the lead.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33In which year did the Cuban Missile Crisis take place?

0:16:38 > 0:16:42It was famously Kennedy v Khrushchev. It's 1962, Jeremy.

0:16:42 > 0:16:451962 is correct. So he's taken the lead.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48We're in slightly the same spot we were in the last round, Megan.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Bring it on. - JONATHAN:- Come on, Megan.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Come on them. Your team are really backing you.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53Here we go. Take your time.

0:16:53 > 0:16:58The philosopher Aristotle was the tutor of which historical ruler?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05They all just sound amazing. What can I say?

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Alexander the Great.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Good girl.- Alexander the Great...

0:17:11 > 0:17:12is the correct answer!

0:17:12 > 0:17:13I knew it, see!

0:17:13 > 0:17:16LAUGHING: Brilliant!

0:17:17 > 0:17:182-2. Let's remember this moment.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20You've drawn level with Steve.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Steve can go wrong here.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Let's see what happens. History we're on.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25You can get in the final with this, Steve.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30Which of these battles took place in 1862 and has been described

0:17:30 > 0:17:32as the bloodiest day in American history?

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Yeah, I think...

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Kevin will know this. First Battle of Bull Run, alternative name,

0:17:43 > 0:17:45but it's Antietam.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Antietam, let's see, with Kevin. Kevin, is that the right answer?

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Antietam is the right answer, yes.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53It's not the same thing as First Bull Run,

0:17:53 > 0:17:55which was the year before,

0:17:55 > 0:17:57but there was a second battle at Bull Run which was very close

0:17:57 > 0:18:00to Antietam, it was within a couple of weeks.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02But Antietam, also known as Sharpsburg,

0:18:02 > 0:18:06was the bloodiest single day in American military history.

0:18:06 > 0:18:07The answer is Antietam.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10So we say well done, Steve, you got three out of three.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Sorry, Megan, beaten by our Egghead.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14But two out of three right answers - really good.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Thank you.- Please return to us and we'll play round three.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23Right, the Para-Rangers have lost two brains from the final round.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25The Eggheads are still sitting there,

0:18:25 > 0:18:27now's probably the moment to turn it on.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28The next subject is Sport.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Greavesy!- I think that's good, isn't it?

0:18:32 > 0:18:35- OK!- Again on the end.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36And who would you like to take on?

0:18:36 > 0:18:39It obviously can't be Kevin or Steve.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41I'd like to face Judith, please.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Very good. So, Dan from the Para-Rangers,

0:18:43 > 0:18:45- I bet you're pleased about that. - I'm thrilled.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48- JONATHAN:- She's going to ruin you, mate!

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Please take your positions.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well, your sport is discus, Dan.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58Yeah, it's very aptly named, isn't it?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00What brought you to that in the first place?

0:19:00 > 0:19:04It was at high school. My PE teacher was a hammer thrower

0:19:04 > 0:19:08and he saw that I could throw it much further than the other kids.

0:19:08 > 0:19:12So, really, he told me to go to a local athletics club

0:19:12 > 0:19:13and it all started from there.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16It's a bit like golf, some days you can have really good days

0:19:16 > 0:19:19and other days, you know, it's really frustrating

0:19:19 > 0:19:20and it's quite challenging.

0:19:20 > 0:19:25- I just loved it.- I always think it's the absolute perfect combination

0:19:25 > 0:19:26of strength and skill.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Yeah, you have to almost be ballerina-like.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32You have to really get across the circle, be on your toes,

0:19:32 > 0:19:35but then also apply the power when it's needed,

0:19:35 > 0:19:39otherwise it could go straight in the ground or it could fly.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Obviously, we all want it to fly.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44And what's been your proudest sporting moment, do you think?

0:19:44 > 0:19:48I think Paralympic gold in Athens 2004 is right up there.

0:19:48 > 0:19:49But also my silver in London.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52It's close to my heart, because it was in front of

0:19:52 > 0:19:54all my friends and family. So that'll be a lasting memory.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58That moment in London was almost the best Paralympic moment

0:19:58 > 0:20:01- we've ever seen, wasn't it?- Yeah.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03It was fantastic.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07I competed on Thriller Thursday, 85,000 people going bonkers.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10To be honest, as a sportsman and a bit of a sports fan,

0:20:10 > 0:20:12I got to see David Weir, Hannah, Jonnie -

0:20:12 > 0:20:14all from the middle of the arena -

0:20:14 > 0:20:17compete and win. I had the best seat in the house.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19The fact that it sold every seat,

0:20:19 > 0:20:22the whole country got behind it, didn't they? It was great.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Yeah, the public really just fell in love with Paralympics,

0:20:25 > 0:20:26and hopefully still do.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29We've got the London World Championships in July

0:20:29 > 0:20:31and hopefully we can get bums on seats

0:20:31 > 0:20:35and everyone can come and support the GB athletes in July in London.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Brilliant stuff. So, we're going on to Sport now, Dan,

0:20:37 > 0:20:39which I know is a mixed blessing.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41In a way, on paper, it's your strongest subject,

0:20:41 > 0:20:44but sometimes that brings stress with it.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46We had an interesting incident the other day with Iwan Thomas

0:20:46 > 0:20:48the sprinter, Judith, didn't we?

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Yes, we did. - Just remind us what happened.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55Well, he'd been on Celebrity Eggheads before, once before,

0:20:55 > 0:21:00and had chosen me for sport, and by sheer fluke I beat him.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Anyway, he came again, and he wanted...

0:21:03 > 0:21:07He's been thinking about it ever since, and wanted his revenge.

0:21:07 > 0:21:11- And what happened? - And, I'm afraid, he lost again!

0:21:11 > 0:21:15Only, the worst thing was that I guessed all my answers!

0:21:15 > 0:21:16Judith's got a bit of record,

0:21:16 > 0:21:20cos she's done a rocket scientist on science, you won that,

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Edwina Currie you beat on politics,

0:21:22 > 0:21:25and you beat somebody I think we can describe as a geographer

0:21:25 > 0:21:27on geography. I thought the other day

0:21:27 > 0:21:28when we had the chefs in, you were going

0:21:28 > 0:21:31to do a chef on food and drink, but it didn't happen.

0:21:31 > 0:21:32I know, I wish I had.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Collect the whole bouquet, as it were.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38All right, well good luck here, Dan, against the great Judith,

0:21:38 > 0:21:41who can be formidable. Dan, would you like to go first or second?

0:21:41 > 0:21:42I'll go first, please.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Here we go. John Terry has played over 700 matches

0:21:49 > 0:21:51for which London football club?

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Well, being a big football fan, I definitely know this.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01It's not Arsenal or Spurs, and that'll be Chelsea.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Chelsea is the right answer.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Come on, Dan! - Judith, this is your question.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Which of these sports was invented first?

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Oh, well, I know that golf is very, very old.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17I think it was invented in Scotland.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20So I imagine it's golf.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22And you imagine right, it is golf.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25OK, Dan, this is your question.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Which of these sportsmen retired from competition

0:22:27 > 0:22:30after breaking his neck in two places in 2000,

0:22:30 > 0:22:33before reversing his decision two years later?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Ooh, erm...

0:22:41 > 0:22:44I don't know whether it's Lennox Lewis,

0:22:44 > 0:22:48I think he might have retired beforehand.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52And the only reason I could think of Nick Skelton is probably

0:22:52 > 0:22:54a jumping accident.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Martin Johnson I think retired after the...

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Oh, actually, no. It's Martin Johnson.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01I think he did retire,

0:23:01 > 0:23:05but then came back for the World Cup in 2002, that's my instinct.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07And your answer is?

0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Martin Johnson.- OK, let's see if your team-mates know here.

0:23:11 > 0:23:12Is it Martin?

0:23:12 > 0:23:15- I thought Nick Skelton. - We guessed Nick Skelton.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Yeah. You kind of referred to it in a way, it was...

0:23:18 > 0:23:21I think it was a horse-related accident, wasn't it?

0:23:21 > 0:23:25So it was Nick Skelton, who then competed in Rio.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27- JONATHAN:- Yes. And won gold. - And won gold, exactly.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Nick Skelton is the answer, Dan.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Judith, your question.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34How many individual goalposts are on the field

0:23:34 > 0:23:37in a game of Australian rules football?

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Well, there's bound to be two lots of goals, aren't there?

0:23:42 > 0:23:47So, if it was two it'd be a pole at each end, which doesn't seem likely.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Eight would be the same as ordinary football, wouldn't it?

0:23:52 > 0:23:54What would 12 look like?

0:23:56 > 0:23:58It would be six at each end.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03Well, why should Australian football be so different?

0:24:03 > 0:24:05I'm going to say eight.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I don't know how you got to that answer...

0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Four at each end. - Can anybody help us here?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Who's got the sight on this?

0:24:13 > 0:24:18At each end, they've got two very tall central posts,

0:24:18 > 0:24:21and if you kick the ball through there you get a certain score.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24And they have on the other side, on the outside,

0:24:24 > 0:24:25two smaller ones,

0:24:25 > 0:24:28and if you go through there you get a behind, which is a lower score.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30So there are different ways you can score.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33But there are four posts at each end.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35I've got that, but now I'm visualising two tall posts,

0:24:35 > 0:24:37plus two...

0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Shorter ones. - Oh, so it's only two shorter ones?

0:24:39 > 0:24:41- At each end. - So that's four at each end, OK.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Four vertical posts.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Four vertical posts - two tall, two short.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47It's simple as that, Judith, Pat's explained it.

0:24:47 > 0:24:52Four vertical posts - two tall, two short - at each end.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55- That makes eight.- It makes eight, you've just nailed it.

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Oh!

0:24:56 > 0:24:58I don't know what you were visualising,

0:24:58 > 0:24:59I want to see inside your mind.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Eight is the right answer.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Oh! That's infuriating, isn't it Dan?

0:25:04 > 0:25:08- Oh, yeah.- There's a certain - all respect to my friend here -

0:25:08 > 0:25:11a certain sporting deficit, you've just got to exploit it.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Get this right to stay in.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17Before Adam Peaty in 2016, Dan,

0:25:17 > 0:25:22who was the last British man to win an Olympic gold medal in swimming?

0:25:26 > 0:25:30I can remember Duncan Goodhew

0:25:30 > 0:25:32winning a few medals in swimming, as I was a keen swimmer

0:25:32 > 0:25:37when I was younger. I don't know too much about David Wilkie,

0:25:37 > 0:25:42but I know that Adrian Moorhouse

0:25:42 > 0:25:44I think won a medal at a major championships,

0:25:44 > 0:25:47and is probably the strongest standout name

0:25:47 > 0:25:50at an Olympic Games before Adam Peaty.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52So my answer is Adrian Moorhouse.

0:25:52 > 0:25:53Great quizzing, you're right.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Adrian Moorhouse is correct.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59So, level, but Judith has this question in hand.

0:25:59 > 0:26:04Which British competitor won medals in both athletics and in cycling

0:26:04 > 0:26:06at the 2016 Paralympic Games?

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Oh, dear.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Both athletics and cycling.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Um...

0:26:20 > 0:26:22I think it's Kadeena Cox.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Let's check with our Challengers here.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Yeah.- Sadly, yes.- Kadeena.

0:26:26 > 0:26:30"Sadly, yes," it is Kadeena Cox, you got three out of three.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32She is very good at that, Dan.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34She just... Tiny little inkling...

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I know, isn't she? Yeah.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Just that second question.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42I was just thinking, I think you knew Nick Skelton as well.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Dan, sorry, beaten by our Egghead. Judith will be in the final.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47So come back to us, we've got one more round to play.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Judith, I know we got into a bit of a tangle there.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54After the game today, we'll do a bit of a sketch.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57- A drawing of it? Yes. - Maybe Pat can do it for us,

0:26:57 > 0:27:00and we can all see exactly how these posts work.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02I'll look it up online, the rules and everything.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Yes, and then just have an idea of the posts.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Yes.- You can have a look at them. OK. As it stands,

0:27:07 > 0:27:10the Para-Rangers have lost three brains from the final round.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13The Eggheads, rather annoyingly, haven't lost one yet.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15The next subject is Geography.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17PARA-RANGERS GROAN AND LAUGH

0:27:17 > 0:27:19So it's going to be Danny or Stef.

0:27:19 > 0:27:20Right, I think...

0:27:20 > 0:27:21Shall we let them choose?

0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Maybe, yeah!- Guys, choose.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26- You want us to choose? - Who's better at general knowledge?

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Who's the most travelled out of you?

0:27:28 > 0:27:30That doesn't work with geography, does it?

0:27:30 > 0:27:33No, but you'd have visited places and you might pick up things.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36- DANNY:- I'm happy to go if you don't want to do it.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Let's let the team choose. - You can choose.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42One of us has got to do the general knowledge at the end, so...

0:27:42 > 0:27:45As in the one who goes last is going to have to face...

0:27:45 > 0:27:47I know, all five, it's really scary!

0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Rock, paper, scissors?- Yeah, yeah!

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Go for it. One, two, three.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56- OK... MEGAN:- You're going! - Stone blunts scissors!

0:27:56 > 0:27:58- So I'm going, right? - Stef, you're going.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01- Good luck, Stef. - Brilliant. Choose an Egghead.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03You can have either Pat or Lisa.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Pat looks so happy and eager!

0:28:06 > 0:28:07Pat looks quite nice.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Yeah, I feel like hanging out with Pat in the booth.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11- I'm going to go with Pat.- OK.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Stef from the Para-Rangers taking on Pat from the Eggheads.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Our last round here.

0:28:15 > 0:28:20To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23Stef, I thought you were probably the natural choice for Geography,

0:28:23 > 0:28:25cos you've lived all over, haven't you?

0:28:25 > 0:28:27See, now you're setting me up!

0:28:27 > 0:28:32I have. So, the short version is I was born in New Zealand

0:28:32 > 0:28:35to British parents, who emigrated to Canada.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38I then married a Canadian who was living in Dallas, Texas

0:28:38 > 0:28:40and then moved back to the UK in 2010.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43And you came back to the UK to compete and live and all of that?

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Yes, yeah. And so I was living and training in London

0:28:46 > 0:28:48ahead of London 2012.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50And you were always very sporty, weren't you?

0:28:50 > 0:28:53It was just a matter of working out exactly which one to go for.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55It was. I played all sorts of sports,

0:28:55 > 0:28:59but absolutely fell in love with rugby when I was 12.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02That was actually my original dream, I wanted to play internationally,

0:29:02 > 0:29:05and then I was in a boating accident,

0:29:05 > 0:29:07when I lost part of my right leg.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10That was... I couldn't play rugby any more,

0:29:10 > 0:29:13but I had always been quite fast, and so someone said,

0:29:13 > 0:29:15"Why don't you go and see how fast you still are?"

0:29:15 > 0:29:17And it's worked out brilliantly.

0:29:17 > 0:29:22I know that you won long jump silver at London 2012, you were at Rio,

0:29:22 > 0:29:25you're the reigning European long jump champion,

0:29:25 > 0:29:27five-time world record holder. My goodness me!

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Yeah, it's funny, you know,

0:29:30 > 0:29:33at that moment you think that you've lost your dream,

0:29:33 > 0:29:35and then actually it comes back to you

0:29:35 > 0:29:36in the most unexpected way possible.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38Well, that's one of the reasons, I'm guessing,

0:29:38 > 0:29:40why you speak motivationally as well.

0:29:40 > 0:29:41Yeah, I think it's...

0:29:43 > 0:29:44The reality is, life is hard.

0:29:44 > 0:29:48You know, it's hard for everyone, and sometimes we just need reminding

0:29:48 > 0:29:51that, you know, it's good to be forced to grow,

0:29:51 > 0:29:53and to learn new things about yourself.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56Even though it's hard,

0:29:56 > 0:29:59it's that idea of overcoming and becoming a better version of you.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01I know you also work as a fashion model,

0:30:01 > 0:30:03and have been nicknamed "the Blade Stunner".

0:30:03 > 0:30:05Yeah, so about...

0:30:05 > 0:30:11In 2015 I was asked if I wanted to walk the London Fashion Week runway,

0:30:11 > 0:30:13which was hugely nerve-racking.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15But that's part of the great thing about being in sport,

0:30:15 > 0:30:17you get asked to do all sorts of things

0:30:17 > 0:30:20that you never would have thought possible.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24And I just have a policy of saying "yes" to everything at least once!

0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Like Eggheads! - Well, we are so glad you did,

0:30:27 > 0:30:29and it's inspiring listening to you.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32So, you're up against Pat, and it's Geography.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34I'm hoping we get a bit of New Zealand or Canada

0:30:34 > 0:30:37- or one of your many... - Please, yes!- ..your many countries.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40Would you like to go first or second against Pat, Stef?

0:30:40 > 0:30:43I think I would like to go first.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Stef, here we go. Geography, your first question.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52What is the approximate population of China?

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Erm, I think...

0:31:00 > 0:31:0314 and 140 million are just way too small.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05I know in India it's at least a billion,

0:31:05 > 0:31:08and China's bigger than India. Based on the results from the Paralympics

0:31:08 > 0:31:11and how well China always does and tops the table,

0:31:11 > 0:31:13I'm going to go with 1.4 billion.

0:31:13 > 0:31:151.4 billion is quite right.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19Eggheads, is that the most populous country in the world, 1.4 billion?

0:31:19 > 0:31:21It's reckoned that India will overtake it

0:31:21 > 0:31:24- by the middle of the 21st century.- Oh, really?- Yeah.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28It's not so far off, really, in those large terms.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31OK, Pat, your question. Which of these rivers is the longest?

0:31:34 > 0:31:39Well, the Nile is the longest of all rivers, so it's the Nile.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42The Nile is the longest of all, quite right.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44They just know these facts.

0:31:44 > 0:31:45The Nile is the longest of all.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47I try and remember, Stef, and he says it,

0:31:47 > 0:31:50and next week I'll have forgotten.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52OK, your question. What is the capital of Sicily?

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Erm...I've not been there.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05I feel like Naples is a city in Italy.

0:32:06 > 0:32:07I think I'm going to go with...

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- ..Cagliari. - Cagliari is not it.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14- Ugh!- It's Palermo. Just trying to work this out, Pat.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17Is Cagliari in the Italian mainland?

0:32:17 > 0:32:19It's on the Italian island of Sardinia.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22And so there's two islands, Sicily and Sardinia?

0:32:22 > 0:32:24- Two big islands.- Yeah.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Sardinia in the north and Sicily just off the toe of Italy.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29So we've got Cagliari is the capital of one,

0:32:29 > 0:32:31and Palermo is the capital of the other?

0:32:31 > 0:32:33And Naples is on the mainland.

0:32:33 > 0:32:34That's right, OK.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36Sorry, Stef, that's a bit of a stinker there.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38Palermo is the answer.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41OK, we go back to you, Pat.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44The Vaal is a major river in which country?

0:32:44 > 0:32:46It's spelt V-A-A-L.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52Well, that's quite a German/Dutch sounding name,

0:32:52 > 0:32:56and it leads to the area of South Africa called the Transvaal,

0:32:56 > 0:32:59which is that area beyond the River Vaal.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01It's in South Africa.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03South Africa is correct.

0:33:03 > 0:33:04He's taken the lead.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07Got to get this one right to stay in,

0:33:07 > 0:33:11or Danny's going to be lonely in the final round!

0:33:11 > 0:33:14Come on, Stef, we're rooting for you here.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Which geographical feature in Africa has a local name meaning

0:33:18 > 0:33:20"the smoke that thunders"?

0:33:26 > 0:33:29I mean, I've not really heard that, but, I mean,

0:33:29 > 0:33:31"the smoke that thunders"...

0:33:31 > 0:33:35I mean, I associate smoke with some sort of volcano,

0:33:35 > 0:33:36some sort of mountain...

0:33:36 > 0:33:41But then Victoria Falls, maybe as it comes down, it's the mist.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44Obviously, no, people climb Mount Kilimanjaro,

0:33:44 > 0:33:45it can't be some sort of active volcano.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48I think I'm going to have to go with...

0:33:48 > 0:33:51And then I'm torn, the Sahara Desert, what if there's a sandstorm?

0:33:51 > 0:33:53That can kind of look like smoke.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56I think I'm going to go with Victoria Falls.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59Victoria Falls is the correct answer.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01SHE EXHALES Well done!

0:34:01 > 0:34:05I think, I'm guessing, but I reckon your reasoning is 100% right.

0:34:05 > 0:34:06OK.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08Pat, your question. You can take the round with this,

0:34:08 > 0:34:11although we're secretly hoping you don't.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13What is the official title of the country of San Marino?

0:34:24 > 0:34:27I... It's one of the oldest republics...

0:34:27 > 0:34:33in Europe, which suggests the rightmost answer.

0:34:33 > 0:34:37I don't think it's got either a prince or a duke.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39I think it dates back to around

0:34:39 > 0:34:41the turn of the millennium as a republic,

0:34:41 > 0:34:44so the Most Serene Republic of San Marino

0:34:44 > 0:34:47looks like the best option there.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49The Most Serene Republic of San Marino.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50Eggheads, is he right?

0:34:50 > 0:34:53- Yeah.- You're right, Pat.

0:34:53 > 0:34:54Three out of three.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57It means you've been beaten by our Egghead and have been knocked out,

0:34:57 > 0:35:00and it's going to be a lonely time in the final for Danny.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03But he can still do it, there's no question about that!

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Please return to your teams and we'll see what happens.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09So, this is what we have been playing towards,

0:35:09 > 0:35:12it is time for our final round, as always it's general knowledge.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed

0:35:15 > 0:35:17to take part in this round.

0:35:17 > 0:35:21So, Megan, Jonathan, Stef and Dan from the Para-Rangers, I'm so sorry,

0:35:21 > 0:35:23you've got to leave the studio.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28Well, Danny, I know it wasn't supposed to be like this.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30I feel a little bit alone!

0:35:30 > 0:35:32You're used to adversity.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36You were a sports person, you had your accident, and you still are,

0:35:36 > 0:35:38and in fact a very, very successful one.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40Yeah, I mean, sport's always been my life.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43I've always played it, I played rugby when I was younger,

0:35:43 > 0:35:47ran when I was younger, played rugby after my accident.

0:35:47 > 0:35:52I still sort of try to play rugby now, just a lot slower.

0:35:52 > 0:35:53I've seen film of you...

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Cos a lot of people who play rugby would say,

0:35:55 > 0:35:57"How can you play rugby with one arm?"

0:35:57 > 0:35:59But I've actually seen film of you scoring a try.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Yeah, that happens a lot less nowadays, the scoring side to it.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04I've got two children that play rugby as well,

0:36:04 > 0:36:06and I'm very proud that they're rugby players,

0:36:06 > 0:36:09and they tend to score more a week than I get in a season,

0:36:09 > 0:36:12but I'm just trying to keep in as long as I can.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15I know you won 800 metres gold at Athens.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17Was that your proudest moment?

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Probably, yeah. I mean, there's been a few.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21That was because it was the culmination

0:36:21 > 0:36:23of all the years in the sport.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25I've been in international athletics since '98,

0:36:25 > 0:36:28and I won my first Paralympic gold in 2004,

0:36:28 > 0:36:31I got the bronze four years before that in Sydney.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34But probably the proudest was when I was the flag bearer in 2008,

0:36:34 > 0:36:37cos to be nominated by your team and to lead your team out

0:36:37 > 0:36:39in the opening ceremony is probably

0:36:39 > 0:36:41the greatest honour you can ever have

0:36:41 > 0:36:44bestowed upon you, and that was probably my proudest moment.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47I saw that, and I saw how emotional you were during it.

0:36:47 > 0:36:48I saw as you walked with it,

0:36:48 > 0:36:50you just looked very, very, well, tearful, I guess.

0:36:50 > 0:36:55It is, I mean, to walk out with the Union Jack,

0:36:55 > 0:36:58and I'd had a really turbulent year with injury,

0:36:58 > 0:37:00and I'd only kind of just made it onto the team.

0:37:00 > 0:37:04And then, sadly, off the back of that, the very next day,

0:37:04 > 0:37:08less than 24 hours after that huge high, I tore my calf muscle,

0:37:08 > 0:37:11and that was my Beijing Games over.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13But having that honour was huge.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16We'll have people watching who've had some kind of reverse in life,

0:37:16 > 0:37:19and yours, you know, you lost your arm in a road crash.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21So, what's your key piece of advice?

0:37:21 > 0:37:24Cos some people just don't recover from those kinds of things.

0:37:24 > 0:37:28I've always had this belief that things happen for reasons.

0:37:28 > 0:37:32It's not a spiritual belief, it's just things happen for reasons.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34You make something out of it, and that's what I did.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37The way I always got through it was I always set myself

0:37:37 > 0:37:40that next little goal, that next little stepping stone.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43Rugby was always my life, and although it sounds a bit Hollywood,

0:37:43 > 0:37:45it's the truth, I promise you.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48I was laying in a ditch, minus... Well, I was holding my arm.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52The lady that came to my aid, who just heard the accident,

0:37:52 > 0:37:57I had a conversation with her about my rugby career being over.

0:37:57 > 0:37:58For me, rugby was everything.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01So that was the first thing for me, was to get back on the pitch,

0:38:01 > 0:38:03and I did that within six months.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05And then the athletics finally came along.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07It's always been the next thing to aim for,

0:38:07 > 0:38:09and that's kind of what I've always done,

0:38:09 > 0:38:10I've always aimed for the next thing.

0:38:10 > 0:38:13Brilliant. Well, here we are with the very next thing.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15Oh, this was the next thing on my list, yeah!

0:38:15 > 0:38:16JEREMY LAUGHS

0:38:16 > 0:38:20Good luck. You can do it, we've seen them, all five against one player,

0:38:20 > 0:38:22and then the single player takes them down.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26It's happened. You're now playing to win the Para-Rangers £8,000.

0:38:26 > 0:38:27Lisa, Steve, Pat, Kevin, Judith,

0:38:27 > 0:38:30you're playing for something that money can't buy,

0:38:30 > 0:38:32which is the Eggheads' reputation.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37This time they're all general knowledge.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40You may confer. Sorry, that doesn't help you, Danny.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43The question is - can your one brain defeat these five?

0:38:43 > 0:38:45I'm sure it's possible.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Would you like to go first or second?

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Do you know what? Going first hasn't gone well for my team today,

0:38:51 > 0:38:53so, I'm probably going to kick myself,

0:38:53 > 0:38:54but I'm going to say go second.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01OK. So, Eggheads have the first question, and here we go.

0:39:01 > 0:39:05Which of these words is a name for a confused fight or scuffle?

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Sassafras is an American drink, isn't it?

0:39:14 > 0:39:16- Melee?- Melee.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19Sounds good to me, kids.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20That's a melee, Jeremy.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23Melee is right. OK, Danny, your question.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25What is the name of the self-made millionaire

0:39:25 > 0:39:29who adopts the title character in the stage musical Annie?

0:39:36 > 0:39:38I...

0:39:38 > 0:39:41Funnily enough, Annie is not a stage show I'd probably have watched.

0:39:43 > 0:39:47I'm going to take a massive guess and say Charles Foster Kane.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52Now, Charles Foster Kane I think might have been Citizen Kane.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Is that right, Eggheads?- Mm-hmm.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Who's Montgomery Burns? - From The Simpsons.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59From The Simpsons, I should know that.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01The answer is Daddy Warbucks.

0:40:01 > 0:40:02Not one you've shown your kids yet?

0:40:02 > 0:40:06- Not yet, no. I'm going to! - I haven't either.

0:40:07 > 0:40:10Eggheads, to go two ahead,

0:40:10 > 0:40:14what was the nickname of the French singer Edith Piaf?

0:40:18 > 0:40:20- Little Sparrow. - Little Sparrow.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22- The Sparrow? - Yeah, Little Sparrow.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25She was the Little Sparrow.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27As we indeed call you, Lisa,

0:40:27 > 0:40:29with your singing skills.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Not-So-Little Sparrow, yeah.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34The Little Sparrow is right.

0:40:34 > 0:40:38Now, they've gone two ahead a bit too quickly for our comfort here.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41Danny, just get this one right to stay in.

0:40:41 > 0:40:46The Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland are the setting

0:40:46 > 0:40:50for a climactic battle featuring which fictional character?

0:40:56 > 0:41:00The Reichenbach Falls, I can spell that if you like, in Switzerland,

0:41:00 > 0:41:02is the setting for a climactic battle

0:41:02 > 0:41:03featuring which fictional character?

0:41:05 > 0:41:09I think it's either Holmes or Bond and there was...

0:41:09 > 0:41:11It was quite a recent one, wasn't it,

0:41:11 > 0:41:14when he let someone go over the edge?

0:41:14 > 0:41:16I think...

0:41:18 > 0:41:20..I'm going to go Sherlock Holmes.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22This is a famous battle with...

0:41:22 > 0:41:23Is it Moriarty?

0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Yeah.- Sherlock Holmes is right.

0:41:26 > 0:41:27Nicely done, Danny,

0:41:27 > 0:41:30cos it would have been easy to go for Tarzan there.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Right, Eggheads, you can take it with this answer.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34I really hope you don't.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Oops, I blurted out my own feelings!

0:41:36 > 0:41:37Here's your question.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40Which of these is a common translation

0:41:40 > 0:41:42of the German word "Tannenbaum".

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Christmas tree.

0:41:47 > 0:41:48It's Christmas tree, isn't it?

0:41:48 > 0:41:51"O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, how lovely are your branches."

0:41:51 > 0:41:56It's not really working for reindeer or Father Christmas, is it?

0:41:56 > 0:41:59"Baum" is the German word for "tree", it's a Christmas tree.

0:41:59 > 0:42:00What do you think?

0:42:00 > 0:42:02I think their smiles as soon as you said the word

0:42:02 > 0:42:04- gave it away.- Yeah, that's right.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07It's when they start to know the answer before I've said the options,

0:42:07 > 0:42:09that's the thing that gets me every time!

0:42:09 > 0:42:12If you've got this right, the contest is over.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14The correct answer is Christmas tree.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25I think the Annie one was tricky at the start.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27- I'm not an Annie man. - I think one or two

0:42:27 > 0:42:29of the other celeb teams have been down to a single person.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31It's very hard when you can't confer.

0:42:31 > 0:42:32But Danny, thank you so much.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Pleasure.- I hope you enjoyed it. - It was wonderful, yeah.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38It's lovely to stand up against you guys...

0:42:38 > 0:42:40- on my own!- With the firepower here,

0:42:40 > 0:42:42sometimes when they get something they can't get,

0:42:42 > 0:42:45and they're truffling around, is fascinating to watch.

0:42:45 > 0:42:48Thank you for playing, Para-Rangers.

0:42:48 > 0:42:49- Lovely to see you!- Bye.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51Cheers for your help, guys!

0:42:51 > 0:42:53Commiserations, Challengers,

0:42:53 > 0:42:56the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, most of the time.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59This winning streak against the celebrities continues.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01So the Challengers don't go home

0:43:01 > 0:43:03with the £8,000 for their charities.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06We'll roll that over, shall we, to our next celebrity show?

0:43:06 > 0:43:08Eggheads, congratulations.

0:43:08 > 0:43:12Are you going to get to the very end of the celeb shows without losing?

0:43:12 > 0:43:14I wonder. Join us next time

0:43:14 > 0:43:16to see if a new team of celebrity Challengers

0:43:16 > 0:43:18have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:43:18 > 0:43:22There'll be £9,000 to play for. We're nearly in five figures!

0:43:22 > 0:43:24Until then, goodbye!
