0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 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 taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:39are The Quad Runners. This team met six years ago whilst studying
0:00:39 > 0:00:41at Pembroke College at the University of Oxford.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43They were all members of the college darts team
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and have remained friends ever since.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi. I'm Hadrian. I'm 25 years old and I'm a law student.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hi. My name's Tim. I'm 24 years old and I'm a performance analyst.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi. I'm Ashley. I'm 24 years old and I'm a management consultant.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi. I'm Bobby. I'm 24 and I'm a trainee lawyer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hello. I'm Will. I'm 23 and I'm a researcher and bid writer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08So, Hadrian and team, welcome.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13And Quad Runners suggested to us it's athletics, it's running,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16it's something incredibly fast and strong. It's actually darts.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Yes. The Quad Run was a punishment for poor performance.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- In darts?- Yep.- I see, OK.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26So, did you play a lot of darts when you were at college?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Yeah.- A lot of time... - A lot of time.- ..in the college bar.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Do you still play darts now? - When we can find a pub that's got
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- a darts board, but they're quite rare these days.- Is that right?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Eggheads, you spend a lot of time in pubs.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Have you noticed - well, quizzing, I mean, not drinking,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43but have you noticed there's a lack of dart boards now?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Yeah, true.- Is that right? - Definitely.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- They're not as common as they were. - When they all go shi-shi,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- start serving food and they take the dartboard out?- Yeah.- Hmm.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Yeah.- Probably health and safety as well?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56No, I don't think so. I think it's just been a change
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- in culture really.- Yeah.- OK.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Every day there is £1,000 in cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money
0:02:05 > 0:02:08rolls over to the next show. So, Quad Runners,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the Eggheads are on amazing streak at the moment.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12They won the last 28 games.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So it's definitely been worth your while coming.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18£29,000 is up for grabs.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- The stakes are high. - CHALLENGERS LAUGH
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So good luck. And we'll start, shall we? No reason to delay.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27First Head-to-Head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Who would like History?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Right.- That's got to be Will. - So that's me.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Yes, I'm happy to take it.- Will, I don't think you've got any choice.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39They've volunteered you. Which Egghead would you like to knock out?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- I'll take... I'll challenge Daphne, please.- OK.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- All very polite, aren't they?- Yes.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Will from the Quad Runners against Daphne from the Eggheads.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Let battle commence. Do go to the Question Room now.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Will, you were in the darts team as well?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- I was, yes, Jeremy.- Just to be clear, you had to run round the quad
0:02:59 > 0:03:01if you lost. Is that correct?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- That's correct, yes.- And the quad is part of this college at Oxford
0:03:04 > 0:03:05- that you were all at.- Yeah.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Anything else you'd like to tell me about running around the quad?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I'm not sure it's appropriate for pre-watershed.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Let's say it was in a state of undress, we could say.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Were you wearing any clothes at all? - I'd rather not comment on that.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I think we can guess. So that's quite a serious punishment.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24And that's basically for not hitting double-top, is it?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Well, it was... I won't bore you with the precise circumstances
0:03:27 > 0:03:29but it didn't happen very often.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32You ever been in one of these darts clubs, Daphne?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- If you lose, have to run naked around...- I have been on Bullseye.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- You've been on Bullseye?- Yes.- You didn't lose that, though, did you?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- You won that?- We won it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- They didn't get you to run naked around Weston-Super-Mare?- No, no.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Not a pretty sight.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51OK. I'll ask you three multiple choice questions on History in turn.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Whoever answers the most questions correctly is the winner,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55goes through to our final.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And Will, you can choose the first or second set.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I think I'd like to go first, Jeremy.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Here we go. Good luck.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07The Tet Offensive, a key phase in the Vietnam War,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09began in which year?
0:04:14 > 0:04:20Uh, I actually studied 1960s American History at university.
0:04:20 > 0:04:27Obviously, there was quite a lot of the Vietnam conflict in that course.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29And so I'm fairly sure about the answer.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33And I believe it is 1968.
0:04:33 > 0:04:351968 is the right answer.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Massive year that, wasn't it?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41What was going on? It was Bobby Kennedy, was it?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- And Martin Luther King?- Yeah.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Assassinated? It was kind of a crazy year.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- It was a crazy year for the States, certainly.- Yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Across the world. - And Paris.- Paris riots.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- I was born.- You were born?- It was crazy, yeah. It was mad, yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Daphne, your question. William III,
0:04:57 > 0:05:01who was King of Great Britain from 1689 to 1702,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04was born in which modern-day country?
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Well, I assume, because he was William of Orange,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15he was born in the Netherlands.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19And Netherlands is the right answer. One each.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Back to you, Will. HMS Victory,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26was built in which dockyard?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Right. Erm...
0:05:32 > 0:05:36I've never really studied this...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38period of history.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41So I'll go with a bit of a guess and I'll try...
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Woolwich, I think. - Woolwich is your answer.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Any of your team-mates know?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- I think it's Chatham. - What do you think? No?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Chatham is the right answer, actually.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Will, sorry, you got it wrong. Chatham it was.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Daphne...
0:05:56 > 0:05:57How were the American Presidents
0:05:57 > 0:06:01William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison related?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09They were grandfather and grandson.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Grandfather and grandson is correct.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14So you take the lead, Daphne.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16That means you need to get this one right, Will,
0:06:16 > 0:06:17or you'll be knocked out.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Who Captained the Susan Constant
0:06:21 > 0:06:25on the Virginia Company's 1606 colonising mission
0:06:25 > 0:06:27to the New World?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Hmm. Right. Again, unfortunately...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40these questions seem to have taken a bit of a naval bent.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46Unfortunately I don't really have a great knowledge of maritime history.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48So I'm sort of struggling again.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54I think I'm going to just...
0:06:54 > 0:06:58go down the middle and go for Thomas Cochrane, please.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Thomas Cochrane, OK. Let's see if Daphne knows this.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Do you know, Daphne?- I don't,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04but I'd have gone for Charles Howard.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Any Eggheads know? - It was Christopher Newport.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Christopher Newport is the answer, Will.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Oh!- Not Thomas Cochrane.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13We had a whole spree of answers there,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16so no shame in not knowing. But you've been knocked out, I'm afraid,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18by Daphne. Daphne, you're in the final round.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20But it's early days.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Do, please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26So, as it stands, the Challengers have lost the first brain
0:07:26 > 0:07:29from the Final Round. The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31The next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35So you're all very brainy ex-students.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38This should be a difficult choice.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Do you fancy Arts and Books? Cos I'm terrible.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I'd prefer not to. But I...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I think it makes sense to just go for it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46- Go for it.- I'll do it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48OK, Bobby. Against which Egghead?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- You can have anyone but Daphne. - We'll have a shot
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- with an unknown quantity. Dave. - Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57OK. So it is Bobby from the Quad Runners
0:07:57 > 0:07:58against Dave from the Eggheads.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Please go to our Question Room now.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I'm going to ask each of you three questions on Arts & Books in turn.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08And you can choose the first or second set, Bobby.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10OK. I'm going to go first, if that's OK.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17And here is your first question. The Jack Higgins novel,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The Eagle Has Landed, involves a plan
0:08:20 > 0:08:22to kidnap which politician?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30OK. Well, I haven't heard of the book.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34But I'd suggest...
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I'm going to discount Tony Blair because it sounds too recent.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41The Eagle Has Landed obviously suggests something to do with
0:08:41 > 0:08:45the moon landings, but that doesn't really provide any assistance.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50But given that it happened after Churchill's death,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I'm going to go with Margaret Thatcher.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55OK. Anyone on your team seen The Eagle Has Landed?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Yeah. I think it's a World War II movie.- Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- So I would have gone for Winston Churchill.- It's Churchill.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Advantage Dave. Here's your question.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Renoir's painting, Luncheon Of The Boating Party,
0:09:07 > 0:09:12shows a group of friends on a balcony overlooking which river?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Hmm. Erm...
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I'll have to go with the Seine.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Seine is the right answer. Bobby, your question.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25What was the name of William Shakespeare's second daughter,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28the twin sister of his son Hamnet?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I don't, off the top of my head, know this, actually, Jeremy.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I know his wife was called Anne.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'm going to go with Judith.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Let's ask the lady herself. Is he right?- Yes.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- BOTH LAUGH - He is right. You're right.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- You're right. - CHALLENGERS APPLAUD
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Here's your question, Dave. Vittoria Vetra is a major character
0:09:54 > 0:09:56in which Dan Brown novel?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I'm going to go Angels And Demons,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06because it's the most famous one to me,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08but I've not got a clue.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- But you're right, Dave. Angels And Demons it is.- By default.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15OK. Bobby, your question. You need to get this one right
0:10:15 > 0:10:17or you will have gone.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19In which year was Tom Stoppard's play
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead first performed?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Well, again, I don't know this for a fact.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I'm going to discount 1986 because I just feel that that's too late.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Which leaves 66 and 76.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48I guess he's in his 60s or 70s now. I'm not entirely sure.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53So let's say 66 might be a little bit too early potentially.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56At a guess, I'm going to go with 76. 1976.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Is he right, Eggheads?- No.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04- I think it's 66. - 66 is the answer, Bobby, not 76.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05You've been knocked out by our Egghead,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Tremendous Knowledge Dave, who will be in the Final Round.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Please, both of you, come back here to the studio, and we'll play on.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15As it stands, the Challengers have lost two brains.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16The Eggheads have lost no brains.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20So this is the moment. Get the darts out.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21THEY MURMUR IN AGREEMENT
0:11:21 > 0:11:22This is it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25You'll have 180 next. It's Sport.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I'm thinking somebody here's going to be very good at sport.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Who's it going to be?- Three of us could take it, couldn't we?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Do you want to go for it? Would you like it?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- I'll take it.- Yep.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Tim, is it you? - I think it's going to be me.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42OK. Against which Egghead? Kevin, Judith or Pat?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Erm...I think I will challenge Judith, please.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- She has been... - Not much of a challenge.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52You have been reading the back pages, haven't you?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Oh, I have, yes.- Not just the crossword, but the sporty bits.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Yes, and the sports bits.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01So, Tim versus Judith, sighing, looking a bit unhappy,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05about Sport, from the Eggheads. Do please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09So, three questions, and Tim you can choose the first or second set.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I think I'll buck the trend and go second, please, Jeremy.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17OK, Judith, here we go.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21The 19-stone Andrew Sheridan
0:12:21 > 0:12:25became a leading player in which Rugby Union position?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Erm...
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Well if he's... What did you say he was, 19 stone?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- The 19-stone Andrew Sheridan.- Yup.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Well, I don't think he'd be on the Wing in that case.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- I think he might be a prop. - Brilliant logic.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Prop is correct. - Oh, hurray.- Well done.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Tim, your question.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Madison Square Garden is the home arena of which NBA basketball team?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Right. Well, my first thought was that it's in New York,
0:13:01 > 0:13:06so I was kind of hoping that two of the answers would be elsewhere.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Erm, I think...
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I'm going to go for...
0:13:14 > 0:13:17the New York Jazz, please, Jeremy.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Your team-mates looked a bit unhappy at that moment.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Who knows the answer here, team-mates?- The Knicks.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25The Knicks. The New York Knicks.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Judith, your question.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30In which year did the boxer Frank Bruno
0:13:30 > 0:13:33fight the first professional bout of his career
0:13:33 > 0:13:36against Lupe Guerra?
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Oh. They're all far too close in date.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I'm going to say it was 1978.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54No. 1982 is the answer.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58So, she's in the lead, but only just.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Tim, your question. Which English cricketer
0:14:00 > 0:14:05took his 200th one day international wicket in September 2011?
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Again, they're all cricketers of the same era, the modern team.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I was hoping I might be able to rule a couple out
0:14:18 > 0:14:21based on them being... no longer playing, perhaps.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Erm. I'm trying to think. 200, is that a large number?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Or is that easily achievable in a short period of time?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I think that's quite a lot, so I'm going to go,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36for that reason, for James Anderson,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- who I think's been in the team slightly longer.- Very good.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Very logical. James Anderson is the right answer, Tim. Well done.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46So, one point each. Third question to you, Judith.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Which golf major did Bill Rogers win in 1981,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52the only such victory of his career?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Bill Rogers?- Bill Rogers.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I've never heard of him. So it's a guess.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Down the right. The Open. - Is the right answer.- Ooh!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Going down the right. I don't know how you do that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Occasionally, it works. - The Open is the right answer.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14So Tim, a little bit of pressure here, really.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Get this right, or you'll be knocked out by Judith on Sport.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20The upside of that is, she will be very happy for a very long time.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21At least 24 hours.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25OK. The American, Jenny Thompson, has won eight Olympic gold medals
0:15:25 > 0:15:26in which sport?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Jenny Thompson.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I haven't heard of her,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I'm afraid.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43I'm guessing that she'll have had to do more than one event.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Otherwise that would be eight Olympic Games for fencing.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48So I'm going to rule fencing out.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Swimming, there's lots of different classes in swimming,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54but also in gymnastics.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Again, it's a bit of a guess, I'm afraid.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I'm going to say gymnastics.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Eight Olympic golds in gymnastics, you say?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I wonder if you're right. Anyone on the Eggheads side?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Swimming.- She's a swimmer. - Swimming is the answer.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Jenny Thompson is a swimmer.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Which means you've fallen behind Judith
0:16:15 > 0:16:18and so, at that point, I'm afraid you've been knocked out
0:16:18 > 0:16:20with two wrong answers, Tim. You're not in the final.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Judith, you're through to the final in sport! Go crazy for a moment
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- or wave your arms in the air or something.- I'm thrilled.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28I can see that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Do, please, both of you, come back and rejoin your teams.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35The Challengers have lost three brains,
0:16:35 > 0:16:36which is going to make it harder.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Eggheads have lost no brains so far,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40which is why they're looking just a bit smug.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And we'll have one more subject before the Final Round,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- and it is Film & TV. So who'd like this?- Shall I take it?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Ashley or Hadrian? - I'm awful at film.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I'll have a crack at it, Jeremy.- Ashley, OK.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Against which Egghead?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Erm...- Kevin or Pat?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Yeah. I think I might as well take on Kevin.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- All right.- I'll have a shot.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Ashley from the Quad Runners
0:17:03 > 0:17:06against King Kevin from the Eggheads
0:17:06 > 0:17:08on Film & TV. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Film & TV now. Three questions,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13and you can choose the first or second set.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Erm, I will go second.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21OK, Kevin, your first question.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23The film, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25released in the UK in 2012
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and starring Judi Dench and Bill Nighy,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30is largely set in which country?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It's mostly set - well, apart from the bit at the start -
0:17:36 > 0:17:37it's set in India.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40India is the right answer.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43OK, Ashley. What is the profession of Malcolm Crowe,
0:17:43 > 0:17:44played by Bruce Willis,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48in the 1999 film The Sixth Sense?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Erm, my first instinct is that he was some sort of detective.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58So, based on that,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I would be swinging towards policeman.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Although I know that he's working alongside
0:18:05 > 0:18:08a child who's been troubled, which makes me think
0:18:08 > 0:18:11that psychologist might be a smarter move.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I'm probably getting confused with his Die Hard films,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17where he is a policeman, so I'll try psychologist.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22You've done well. Psychologist is the right answer.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Kevin. Which Cheers cast member went on to star as the title character
0:18:27 > 0:18:30in the medical comedy series Becker?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I don't think I've heard of that. So is it B-E-C-K-E-R?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39B-E-C-K-E-R.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Becker.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46It'd be fairly unusual for a female character
0:18:46 > 0:18:50just to have the name, the surname, Becker...
0:18:52 > 0:18:56as a title. So I've got to rule something out,
0:18:56 > 0:18:57so I'll rule Shelley Long out.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Was it something that Ted Danson did?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I mean he went into films after Cheers.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06This could be a bit of a trap,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08but because Kelsey Grammer went on to Frasier,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'll go for Ted Danson.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Daphne looks excited. Is he right? - Yes.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14It's obscure, this, isn't it?
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- It is obscure.- I think he plays a grumpy doctor a bit like Doc Martin,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22who doesn't like his patients.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- OK. Or Hugh Laurie in House or whatever. Right.- Yes.- OK.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Anyway. Ted Danson is right, Kevin. You got there slowly.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31OK. Ashley.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32In the 1978 film Grease,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35which of the Pink Ladies is played by Didi Conn?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41OK. I think I have seen Grease, but it was when I was very young.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45So my recollection isn't too strong of it.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51Two names that do sound familiar are Frenchy and Marty.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Just as a 50-50, I'm going to go down the left with Frenchy.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Frenchy's the right answer.- Yes!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So 2-2. Very hard-fought round, this,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02trying to get a second person in the final here.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Kevin. Which children's TV show is set in a town called Pontypandy?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Well, "town" doesn't seem to apply to either The Tweenies
0:20:14 > 0:20:16or In the Night Garden, to my mind.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19so I'll have to say Fireman Sam.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Fireman Sam is the right answer. - Hmm.- OK, Ashley.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Who played Maxwell Smart
0:20:24 > 0:20:26in the 1960s TV show Get Smart?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28And you need this question right, or you're gone.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I've seen the film Get Smart, I think.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I think that was John Travolta.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40But that's obviously irrelevant to this.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43In terms of these actors,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I'm not very familiar with any of them.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50So I'm going to go with what we used to do if we didn't know the answer
0:20:50 > 0:20:54in the It Box in the bar, and go lucky middle, with Don Adams.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- It is lucky. - What do you think, Eggs?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- Yes, he's right.- You're right. You got it right. Three out of three.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- The Travolta film is Get Shorty, isn't it?- Oh, yeah. Maybe.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- ALL LAUGH - Doesn't matter. You got it right.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09OK. We go to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12As you know, Kevin, I do not give you alternatives now.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Your question. Which British show won the best TV mini-series award
0:21:17 > 0:21:20at the 2012 Golden Globes?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I don't know it. so I'm going to assume it's Downton Abbey.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Downton Abbey. - Downton Abbey is correct.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29OK. A bit of pressure here, Ashley.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Dave Spikey played Jerry St Clair in which TV comedy series
0:21:33 > 0:21:36first shown in 2001?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's not ringing any bells, I'm afraid.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45I'm going to have a guess, a wild stab in the dark, with King of Queens.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Just cos I think it started about that time.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49No, that's wrong. Do your team-mates know?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Anyone?- I have a feeling it was Phoenix Nights?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Yes, it was Phoenix Nights. Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59So Kevin has triumphed in this round.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Ashley, sorry, you've been knocked out. Kevin, you're in.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Please, both of you, come back, and we will play the Final Round.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09This is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12It's time of the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15But I'm afraid those of you who lost your Head-to-Heads
0:22:15 > 0:22:17won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22So Tim, Ashley, Bobby and Will from the Quad Runners,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Well, Hadrian, here we are.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Not quite what was planned. - Not ideal.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34So you're playing to win the Quad Runners £29,000.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Daphne, Dave, Kevin, Judith and Pat,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:39 > 0:22:40the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47And you can confer.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49So, Hadrian, the question is, is your one brain
0:22:49 > 0:22:53better than the Eggheads' five? Can you take them down?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Shall we find out?- Let's go for it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03You said that in a very determined way.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Which national newspaper was launched in February 2012?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Fortunately, you've handed me one
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I'm pretty confident of the answer to.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Newspapers have come under a bit of fire and one in particular
0:23:20 > 0:23:23was the News of the World
0:23:23 > 0:23:28which was replaced, by the parent company,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31with the Sun on Sunday, I believe.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34The Sun on Sunday is quite right. Well done.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Replaced the News of the World.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37OK. Eggheads, your question.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Which part of the body is sometimes referred to as the pinky?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46ALL: Little finger.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- That's the little finger.- The little finger is the right answer.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52So back to you, Hadrian.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Which Scottish singer had a UK number one in 2012
0:23:56 > 0:23:59with her debut album Our Version Of Events?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I own, I think, this.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Could you repeat the name of the album? Our Version Of Events?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Our Version Of Events.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I own the Emeli Sande album,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19and I think it's called Our Version Of Events,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21so I'm going to go for Emeli Sande.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I've got that album too, and I can't remember the title,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28but you've got the right answer. Emeli Sande is correct. Well done.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35The Baiyoke Tower Two, one of the world's tallest hotels,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37is located in which Asian country?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Baiyoke is spelled B-A-I-Y-O-K-E.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Have you come across it?- No.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51- Neither have I. - I would have said Malaysia.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- It's got a track record for skyscrapers.- They build tall ones.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Yeah. Might have added to the collection.
0:24:57 > 0:25:04- I mean, Malaysia has had some tall buildings.- Lots of tall buildings.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09I don't know what tall buildings there are in Thailand.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Hmm.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Sri Lanka has been ravaged by civil war for quite a long time.- Yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- I'm not sure they put up giant skyscrapers.- It's not rich enough.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20They've had peace. But have they had peace for long enough
0:25:20 > 0:25:22to be putting up really tall buildings?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- I think we'll have to go for... - Yeah.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27On the basis of the tall buildings thing,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- we'll have to go for Malaysia. - Malaysia?- Malaysia.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32OK. We really don't know at all.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35But because Malaysia has a bit of a tradition
0:25:35 > 0:25:37of putting up really tall buildings,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40we're going to go for Malaysia.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44And everyone asked this question would have gone for Malaysia.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Everyone. There's no excuse, though, cos you are the Eggheads.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50You're supposed to not go for the wrong answer.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52You got it wrong. It's Thailand.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54So, this is interesting.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58They've blundered in the most fantastic way
0:25:58 > 0:26:02by naming a country they think had a tall building in it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06And if you get this right, you've won £29,000.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Hadrian, here's your question.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Qaboos bin Said
0:26:11 > 0:26:16became the Sultan of which country in 1970?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20His name is spelt - there's three words in it -
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Q-A-B-O-O-S
0:26:22 > 0:26:25B-I-N
0:26:25 > 0:26:27S-A-I-D.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Qaboos bin Said.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30The options are...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Yup. Erm...
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Well, the Said family is...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43That's the royal dynasty.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46When I heard that, I was hoping that Saudi Arabia would come up,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49so I could at least discount one, but it hasn't.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Oman no longer has a Sultan.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55But this is 1970.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57So that doesn't help.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Sultan of Qatar, Sultan of Brunei, Sultan of Oman.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07I'm going to knock out Brunei.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Just because the name sounds
0:27:13 > 0:27:15more Middle-Eastern
0:27:15 > 0:27:19than it does...Asian.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24I'm going to plump for -
0:27:24 > 0:27:27for no particular reason - Oman.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Your answer is Oman.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33If it is correct, you've won £29,000.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38The correct answer for Qaboos bin Said
0:27:38 > 0:27:42is that he became the Sultan of Oman in 1970.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Well done. You've won it, Hadrian. Congratulations!
0:27:45 > 0:27:48EGGHEADS APPLAUD
0:27:51 > 0:27:52I told you it was possible.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Look at your team. You can look round now.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57They are absolutely going crazy. Look at that!
0:27:57 > 0:27:58ALL LAUGH
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Well done. Well done.- Unbelievable.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I was trying to follow your logic.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07You seemed to have some sight of the whole Saudi Arabia thing.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11- How was that?- I did actually study Middle-Eastern politics
0:28:11 > 0:28:13as part of my degree, but I didn't dare mention it
0:28:13 > 0:28:16during the question in case I got it wrong.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19That is pretty handy. That is pretty handy.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Well, it would have helped me a lot if different countries had come up,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25but, fortunately, I managed to guess it nonetheless.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Well done. It's good to see you so thrilled at winning,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30and it's been a long time in coming,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32because they've been on an amazing streak.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34So you've brought it to a dramatic end.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38you've won £29,000 and you are, you can tell everybody,
0:28:38 > 0:28:40officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers
