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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And challenging our resident quiz champions today are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This team of friends quiz together every Thursday
0:00:39 > 0:00:43in the Robert De Mortain pub in Hastings. Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hi. I'm Steve, I'm 37 and I'm a management accountant.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi. I'm Melanie. I'm 37 and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi. I'm Lee. I'm 36 and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Sue, I'm 37 and I'm a ward clerk.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi. My name's Trevor. I'm 35 and I'm an accountant.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- So, Steve and team, welcome.- Hi.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- Hiya.- And tell us about the pub and what the quiz is like there.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07We've been going about five years now.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09We did it, like, at Christmas for a laugh.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Enjoyed it, did quite well, thought, "We'll carry on with that."
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The rest is history. Been going virtually every week
0:01:15 > 0:01:18for the last five years, and not done too bad.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23OK, Robert de Mortain. Have we got any Eggs who know who he is or was?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27That's a good start. That is a good start. Hang on, Kevin.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Sounds like something to do with William the Conqueror,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31one of his followers.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33A follower of William the Conqueror?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- He was his half-brother, I believe. - His half-brother.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- As always, Kevin... - He was veering the right way.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- He was veering, but he wasn't quite there, so, I think...- Encouraging.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43It is a good omen.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:46 > 0:01:49for our Challengers, but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52the prize money rolls over to the next show, and it all adds up.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And I can tell you, A Mortain To Climb,
0:01:55 > 0:01:56they've won the last 26.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00So £27,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The upside is, the jackpot is big.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The downside is, it means they are on quite wicked form at the moment.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Music.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So who would like this?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Music...- It's going to be you. - It's got to be Melanie, hasn't it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Melanie?- You're the best on music out of all of us.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- It's going to be one of Lee or Melanie.- Me or you.- One of you two.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Erm... Shall I go? - Do you want to go in, just in case?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I think, because you have more rounds that you can do.- Yup.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- OK.- Yeah, OK.- Melanie.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34OK, against which Egghead? Any one of them.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I think should we go for...
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Barry?- Barry, yeah.- Yeah. - We'll go for Barry.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Right. Melanie from A Mortain To Climb
0:02:42 > 0:02:45against Barry from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So, Melanie, you love to walk and to cook?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Yes, both. I have to do the walking to burn off all the cooking.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Cos I read you were one of the most successful slimmers
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- in the last year or so. - MELANIE LAUGHS
0:03:02 > 0:03:03It wasn't as recent as that,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07but I did lose 7 stone after having my first baby.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- Er...- That's amazing.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12I now need to do the same again after having my second baby.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14So what tips can you give us all?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Barry is looking...he's looking on quite interested.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22There's a Chinese restaurant near here. He and Chris are in it every night.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24With Chinese, you need to have boiled rice, not fried.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- That's a good start.- Good stuff, Melanie. Good luck against Barry.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Lots of money being played for here.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Melanie, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38And here we go. What is the largest and lowest-pitched
0:03:38 > 0:03:41of orchestral brass instruments?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I don't think it's the trumpet.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52So I'll rule that one out straight away.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Trying to decide...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I think I'll go with...
0:04:00 > 0:04:02the tuba.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Tuba is the right answer, Melanie. Well done.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Barry, the composer Gustav Holst was born in Cheltenham in which year?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21I believe he wrote the Planet Suite, and I think he wrote that
0:04:21 > 0:04:24just before the First World War,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28so that would rule out 1914. I believe the answer's 1874.
0:04:28 > 0:04:301874 is correct, Barry.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Melanie, back to you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36The 2011 UK number one single, We Found Love,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39by Rihanna, featured which artist and producer?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I think I know that one straight away.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I'm going to go straight for Calvin Harris.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Do you know this one, Barry?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I'd have gone for David Guetta.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Calvin Harris is the right answer. Well done.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00OK. Over to our Egghead.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02In the title of the song that includes the lines,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05"She has eyes that folks adore so
0:05:05 > 0:05:07"and a torso even more so,"
0:05:07 > 0:05:10how is Lydia described?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Ah. I believe Lydia is The Tattooed Lady.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21She is the Tattooed Lady, well done.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24OK, Melanie. On to you. So, two points each.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28The 1984 album, Brilliant Trees,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32was the first solo album by which musician?
0:05:35 > 0:05:40I'm not sure I've even heard of David Sylvian.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44So...I think I will go for...
0:05:45 > 0:05:51Just based on just something that's directed me that way
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and probably completely wrong, but I'm going to go for Peter Gabriel.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56It's not Peter Gabriel.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58David Sylvian was the lead singer of Japan
0:05:58 > 0:06:00and this is David Sylvian.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Your question, Barry, to take the round.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Ritchie Blackmore became famous playing which instrument
0:06:07 > 0:06:10with the rock bands Deep Purple and Rainbow?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Ah. I could have managed that he played in Deep Purple.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Ritchie Blackmore.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I really can't remember what instrument he played.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So it's going to have to be a guess.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Ritchie Blackmore, Ritchie Blackmore.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Guitar.- Guitar is the right answer.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36BOTH LAUGH
0:06:36 > 0:06:40I suppose with a rock band, yeah, it's more likely than the others.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Barry, well done. Sorry, Melanie, he's knocked you out.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47So you won't be in the final and our first Egghead will.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49But there's plenty of time to turn it around.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Please both of you come back here and rejoin your teams.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56The Challengers have lost one brain from the Final Round
0:06:56 > 0:06:59and the Eggheads have lost no brains so far. Let's see what happens next.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02It's Science we turn to. Who would like this?
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- What do you think?- No strength of mine. But if politics comes up...
0:07:08 > 0:07:12If history comes up, Sue can do it.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- I can do Science. - Shall we send Lee, then?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Yeah, if you're OK.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- I think it's going to be me. - Took a while there.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Who would you like to take on?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Erm, well I did ask my class who they'd like me to take on.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29And I think it was Judith, if that's all right?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33OK. So, Lee from A Mortain To Climb versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39So, Lee, you're a teacher?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yes, that's right. Primary school.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I teach year 6, 10 and 11-year-old children.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- That stressful?- Busy.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Quite manic all the time.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It has its moments but it's really rewarding.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It's one of those jobs that you do because you love it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- So I definitely do.- And you unwind by doing oil paintings?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01That's right, yeah. I've been learning for about three years now.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Mainly landscapes. But it's just a nice, relaxing day
0:08:05 > 0:08:07away from planning and marking and those sorts of things.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11When you say learning, do you mean how you apply the oils and all that?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Yeah, that's right. There are classes that I go to
0:08:14 > 0:08:17and they teach you different techniques for applying
0:08:17 > 0:08:21the different types of oils. Then I'm starting to do some at home as well,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23which is good. It seems to be going well at the moment.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26My nan certainly likes them, which is good.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Well, good luck in this round.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I'll ask each of you three questions on science in turn,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32and obviously the one who wins goes through to the final.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Lee, you can choose the first or the second set.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36I'll go first, please.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Here we go with your first set.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Which common type of computer programme
0:08:42 > 0:08:46is designed to perform mathematical functions on a grid of figures
0:08:46 > 0:08:49arranged in rows and columns?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Very complicated question, there.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I think I'm going to rule out personal information manager.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Erm...
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think word processing mainly is to do with text,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08so I think I'm going to go with spreadsheet.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11And you are absolutely right. It's spreadsheet.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Judith. In the term AI,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18that refers to the development of computer systems
0:09:18 > 0:09:22to perform tasks usually requiring human abilities,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24what does the letter A stand for?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I think it's artificial.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Do you know what AI stands for?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Artificial intelligence.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Yeah, that's right. Artificial is right.- Yes. Phew.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Second question to you, Lee.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Sedge, reed and Cetti's are types of which bird
0:09:44 > 0:09:46sometimes found in Britain?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I'm afraid to say, this is probably going to have to be
0:09:51 > 0:09:55a bit of a guess, because I'm not very into birdwatching.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I don't really know a lot about birds at all.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Erm...
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I've certainly heard of a warbler and a lark.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I haven't heard of a plover.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07So I'll probably go for one of the two that I've heard of.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Erm...
0:10:09 > 0:10:14I think I probably will go for a warbler. A warbler.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well done. You've got it right. A warbler is correct, Lee.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20OK, Judith, your question.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Which state of matter is typically created by the ionisation of a gas?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31By the ionisation of? I don't even know what that means.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35JUDITH SIGHS
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I...it's awful. I don't really understand the question.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40So it's a guess.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- I...oh, plasma.- Plasma is correct.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Phew.- Down the right, eh?
0:10:47 > 0:10:48JUDITH LAUGHS
0:10:48 > 0:10:50OK, third question to Lee.
0:10:50 > 0:10:56The medical term "alalia" refers to the loss of which ability?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Erm...
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I think I'm going to rule out sight.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Erm... so I'll narrow it down to speech and smell.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Erm...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Again, this is a bit of a guess.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16But I think I'll go for smell.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Let's see if Judith knows this. Is he right?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I think it's speech.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Yeah, it's speech, Lee.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25As a teacher, you do not want to have alalia.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Judith. Jeremiah Horrocks, who died at the age of 22 in 1641,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34was an early British pioneer in which field?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I don't think they thought about psychology in those days.
0:11:40 > 0:11:421641.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I really don't think psychology came into it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51So I think it's astronomy. And I'm not sure genetics did.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Or maybe...
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I think I'm going to say genetics.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Genetics is your answer.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- And it's wrong.- Mmm.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06It's Astronomy, as it happens.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- I thought that was too obvious. - We're equal after three questions,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11so we go to sudden death.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Lee, she's let you off the hook there.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Gets a bit harder now. I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19In anatomy, which gland in the human body is also
0:12:19 > 0:12:22called the hypophysis?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Erm...
0:12:27 > 0:12:29That's a tricky one. Erm...
0:12:29 > 0:12:33I'm just trying to think of all the glands in the body.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Erm...
0:12:34 > 0:12:39I had a name there, and it's just gone again. Erm...
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I'm going to...
0:12:47 > 0:12:49guess at the pineal?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- No, it's the pituitary.- Pituitary! I knew it began with a P.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Pituitary gland.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Judith, your question.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59What name was given to the subatomic particle,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02first postulated by Wolfgang Pauli,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05that has no electric charge and very little mass?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12- A neutron.- Neutron is wrong. It's neutrino.- Oh, neutrino.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Italian for little neutron.- Oh!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Lee, your question. Let's see if we can get this one right.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22To which continent is the rodent called the coypu native?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Er, coypu. Erm...
0:13:25 > 0:13:31I probably would narrow it down to perhaps Africa or South America.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Erm...
0:13:34 > 0:13:36And I think I'll go for South America.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39South America is the right answer, Lee. Well done. Well done.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42and let's see if Judith gets this right or wrong.
0:13:42 > 0:13:48Magnetite is a mineral form of an oxide of what metal?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Iron.- Iron is the right answer.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59You're level pegging on Sudden Death. Lee, back to you.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Bellatrix is a star in which constellation?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Erm...
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'm going to go for Orion.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Orion is the right answer. Well done.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16The Hunter. Judith, up against the ropes here.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21The milky fluid composed of lymph and digestive fat
0:14:21 > 0:14:25and produced in the small intestine during digestion
0:14:25 > 0:14:27is known as what?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I don't know. Erm...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I've no idea.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Have a guess if you want.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- I can't.- You can't even have a guess?- No.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- All right. So you've passed?- Mm-hmm.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- OK. Eggs, do you know? - Is that chyme?
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- Chyle.- What?- C-H-Y-L-E. - Well, no wonder.- Chyle.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Well done, Lee, you've knocked out an Egghead.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Good news for your team. You can be in the Final Round.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Judith, you've been knocked out.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04And, sorry about that, you'll be in the Sin Bin.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Please, both of you, come back and rejoin us here.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11As it stands, the Challengers have lost one brain.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14The Eggheads have also lost one brain from the Final Round.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And the next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18So who would like this?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- ALL LAUGH - Arts & Books.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- Not a debate, that one.- Who's that, Sue?- Yeah.- Against which Egghead?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Can't be Judith or Barry.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28What do you think? Do you want Chris?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- I trust Lee's judgment. - Go for Chris.- Go for Chris?- Yeah.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Chris, please.- Chris, OK.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37So, Sue from The Mortain To Climb versus Chris from the Eggheads,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39please take your positions.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Sue, I gather you love to read? - I do love to read.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- One fiction and one non-fiction simultaneously, or...?- Yep.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Because they sort of stimulate different parts of my brain.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Are you reading on an electronic reader
0:15:53 > 0:15:55or are you reading in real paper?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Well, both, but my husband bought me an electronic reader
0:15:58 > 0:16:00for my birthday recently,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03and, much to my surprise, I've found that I really like it.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07That's great. And also you've got a quiz thing going on on your phone,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- haven't you?- I have. I blame Melanie and Steve entirely
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- for recommending it to me. - It's a quiz app?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- It is.- Does have any of the pictures of the Eggheads on it?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- I'm afraid not. - So that's another advantage.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19THEY LAUGH
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Good luck. I'll ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books in turn.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Sue, you can choose the first or second set.- First, please.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Here we go. In Enid Blyton's Noddy books,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33what type of creature is Big Ears?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36A Brownie, a Troll or a Hobbit?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Well, I have read a few Enid Blyton books as a child,
0:16:40 > 0:16:46Erm, and I'm pretty certain I didn't come across any Hobbits in them.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Erm, so I'm going to say a brownie.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Brownie is the right answer. Well done.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Chris, your question.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58The award-winning writer Alice Walker was born in which country?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Alice Walker, she's from New Zealand, I think.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- She's not. She's from the USA. - Is she indeed?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13So, well done, Sue. You're already ahead.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15The Big Ears question has moved you into the lead.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Which artist's 1918 painting,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21entitled We Are Making A New World,
0:17:21 > 0:17:26depicted the blasted landscape of a First World War battlefield?
0:17:30 > 0:17:35Er...I know very little about art, as it happens.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Erm...so, I think all I can do is
0:17:39 > 0:17:43go with the name which is familiar to me, which is Walter Sickert.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's not Walter Sickert. It's Paul Nash.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Chris, to catch up.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52The French dramatist Jean Anouilh
0:17:52 > 0:17:56wrote an acclaimed 1959 play with a title taken from the name
0:17:56 > 0:17:58of which figure in British history?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Surely that's Becket.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Surely it is Becket. You're right. So you're equal now.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Your third question, Sue.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11In Sir Walter Scott's novel, Ivanhoe,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14what is Ivanhoe's first name?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I read this about 100 years ago.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27It's on the tip of my tongue.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Er...
0:18:32 > 0:18:33I'm going to go for...
0:18:35 > 0:18:36William, I think.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Eggheads, is she right?
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Wilfred.- Wilfred.- Wilfred, they all say. It's Wilfred Ivanhoe.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Sue, so Chris has a chance to take the round on this question.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48TS Eliot's first poetry collection, published in 1917,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51was entitled Prufrock And Other... What?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00He later wrote The Love Song Of J Alfred Prufrock, didn't he?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I think it's Prufrock And Other Observations.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06The correct answer is Observations.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09So, Chris, after three questions you have got your place in the final.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Sorry, Sue.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Didn't fall your way.- Oh well. - And Chris is in the final and you're not.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17And please come back, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So, the Challengers have lost two brains,
0:19:20 > 0:19:24the Eggheads have lost just the one from the Final Round.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26And the last subject before the Final is Sport.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- You got a sporting person? - CHALLENGERS LAUGH
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Do you want it, Trev?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- It's me. - Steve. OK, against which Egghead?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Pat or Kevin?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I've got to go for it. I've got to go for it. I'll take on Kevin.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42You've got go for it. OK, so Steve from Mortain To Climb
0:19:42 > 0:19:44versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Please take your positions now.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'll ask each of you three questions on Sport.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Steve, would you like the first or the second set?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'll go first, please.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00All right, Steve. Good luck. Martin O'Neill was appointed manager
0:20:00 > 0:20:03of which Premier League football club in 2011?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Nice football question to start.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11That is my specialist sport, thank goodness.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I know it's not Blackburn,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16cos they've had a few problems with their manager.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Fulham, I know the manager as well,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21but his name skips my mind at the moment.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I'm pretty certain it's Sunderland
0:20:23 > 0:20:25and he turned round their fortunes very well.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Sunderland is the right answer, Steve. Well done.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Kevin, your question.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34In Rugby Union, prop forwards usually wear jerseys
0:20:34 > 0:20:36with the number 1 and which other number?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41They're either side of the hooker, who's number 2.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So it's number 3.
0:20:43 > 0:20:453 is correct.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Back to you, Steve.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51In which role is Alister MacKenzie famous in the history of golf?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Mmm. Right.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00I do enjoy golf, but normally the playing side,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03rather than the logistics of it all.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Alister MacKenzie?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08As it's a Scottish sounding name,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10and it's got its roots in the game,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13it's...I'm going to rule out journalist.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17He's either going to be a coach or a course designer.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I reckon. Erm...
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Alister MacKenzie.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I will go coach.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- No, it's course designer.- Oh.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Course designer.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Kevin, your question to take the lead.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Which cricketer captained England on his test debut in 1972?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Now, that I really don't know.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I don't think it would've been David Ll...well.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52He came to test cricket relatively late,
0:21:52 > 0:21:57so he's a possibility. His great year was...'75.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Did very well in the series that year.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'm torn between the other two, I have to say.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I shall try Tony Lewis, but with no confidence.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Tony Lewis is the right answer. - Oh. OK.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I don't know. I was more confident than you, Kevin.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14I think we all were.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Third question. You've got to get this right, Steve.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19The Indianapolis Motor Speedway
0:22:19 > 0:22:22has permanent seating for roughly how many spectators?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I was worried an American-based sport might come up.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I'm going to rule out 3 quarters of a million immediately,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39cos that's an impressive capacity.
0:22:39 > 0:22:46Erm, 95,000's about the population, erm, the capacity of Wembley.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53But the track is quite large. I'm going to go for 250,000.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56250,000 is the right answer. Very well done.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59You got there really unerringly. Well done.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Kevin, to take the round.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04The Dutch race called The Elfstedentocht,
0:23:05 > 0:23:09that took place 15 times between 1909 and 2011,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11is for participants in which sport?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20That translates as "eleven towns".
0:23:21 > 0:23:27Competition. So this is something that's moving between town and town.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32If it's only taken place 15 times over almost 100 years...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34over 100 years.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38It implies...
0:23:40 > 0:23:44that it's something that'd only take place in certain conditions.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49So that would imply it's something to do with the ice.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53I'm going to go for ice-skating.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56That's why you're brilliant. Ice-skating is the right answer.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58You're in the final, Kevin. Well done. Sorry, Steve.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- That's OK.- There we are.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Three out of three. And it means you've been knocked out.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Please, both of you, come back to us and we will play the Final Round.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09This is what we have been playing towards.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12It is time for the Final Round, which is General Knowledge.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Those of you who lost your Head-To-Heads
0:24:15 > 0:24:17won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19So Steve, Melanie and Sue,
0:24:19 > 0:24:20from A Mortain To Climb,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24would you please leave the studio.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31So, Lee and Trevor, you're playing to win A Mortain To Climb £27,000.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Don't look so worried.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Kevin, Pat, Barry and Chris, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45The questions are all General Knowledge and you can confer.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47So, Lee and Trevor, the question is,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- And do you want to go first or second?- We'll go first, please.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Here we go. Good luck. £27,000 is the jackpot.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Which best-selling series of computer games,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07created by Will Wright and launched in 2000,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11concerns guiding the everyday lives of fictional characters?
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- The Sims?- I think, definitely, yeah. I would say that was the Sims.- Yeah.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- We'll go with the Sims.- The Sims is the right answer. Nice one.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Eggheads, your question.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27What is the title of a humourous history book
0:25:27 > 0:25:31by WC Sellar and RJ Yeatman that was published in 1930?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- That was this morning.- We were discussing it this morning,
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- 1066 And All That.- 1066 And All That. - That's 1066 And All That.
0:25:45 > 0:25:481066 And All That is quite right.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50OK, your question.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Which architect designed the building for the Senedd,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55or the National Assembly for Wales?
0:26:03 > 0:26:08It's a tricky one. I'm not overly-familiar with architecture.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09No.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I think, of the three... and I don't know why,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I'm just drawn to it. I'd probably go for Zaha Hadid.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- But I really don't know for sure. - No idea either.- So...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21We'll go with Zaha Hadid, please.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It's actually Richard Rogers.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Eggheads. At the Battle of Warsaw in 1920,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Polish forces defeated the invading army of which power?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Russia?- Russia, yeah. The fledgling Soviet Union, at the time.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45That was Russia, Jeremy.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Russia is the right answer!
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Now, third question.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54If you get this one wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59Raoul Wallenberg, who became famous for his role
0:26:59 > 0:27:02in rescuing thousands of Jews from Nazi Europe,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04was born in which country?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11My instinct is heading towards Switzerland,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- but there's no particular reason why.- Yeah.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17I would go... I don't know the answer,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- but I think I'd rule out Norway. - Yeah.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- I think, if you're drawn to Switzerland, we could...- Yeah?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- Yep.- Yeah. Switzerland.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Switzerland is your answer. Are they right?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- No, it's Sweden. - Sweden is the answer.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35So, no way back, Challengers.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I'm sorry. We have to say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39You have won.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Sweden, Switzerland.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- Narrowed it down to those two. - Narrowed it down to those two. - Picked the wrong one.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I'm sorry. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:53 > 0:27:56and their winning streak continues. Really impressive now.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £27,000.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Eggheads, many congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Do you know? I don't think it's going to happen.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:08 > 0:28:10have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14£28,000 says they don't. Are we going to get to 30?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Till then, goodbye.
