0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads, arguably,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads. The show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads and taking on the might of our
0:00:34 > 0:00:38quiz Goliaths today are the Barmy Army from Warwickshire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Now this team of friends all used to
0:00:40 > 0:00:42play five-a-side football together
0:00:42 > 0:00:44and take their team name from the nickname given to
0:00:44 > 0:00:47supporters of their local football club, Bedworth United.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Brian, I'm 42 years old
0:00:51 > 0:00:53and I'm a district operations manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Stewart, I'm 41 and I'm a prototype and tooling supervisor.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Rob, I'm 44 and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Hywel, I'm 45 and I'm a store operations manager.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Craig, I'm 41, I'm an admin team leader.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Brian and team, welcome. So, you played football together?
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Tell us about that.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Well, in the early '90s, we played for about a decade together.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16obviously, you can tell, we haven't
0:01:16 > 0:01:18played a lot of times since! THEY LAUGH
0:01:18 > 0:01:21But, yeah, we played for ten years in a local football league, yeah.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And you put on quizzes now, is that right?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Well, we do, we go once a month to a local club and we take part and,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32if we win the quiz, we actually host it and we enjoy doing that a lot.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34And are you going to get back out on the pitch any time soon?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Unless there's ambulances standing by, no.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Well, so what is it like to face these Eggheads?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Are you viewers of the programme? - Adamantly, yes.- Really?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's daunting, but we're looking forward to it.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Do you see strengths and weaknesses, or just strengths?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Just strengths at the moment, but we hope to find a crack.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Good luck with that. - Thank you, Jeremy.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02So, Barmy Army, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04which means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Do you want to go for it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- ALL: Yes, absolutely. - Here we go.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Which of the Barmy Army would like this?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Who's going to go in?- Who fancies it?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Who's going in?- I don't mind.- Yeah, I think Stew should do it. OK?- Yes.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Stew's going to do it, Jeremy.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- It's going to be me, Jeremy. - Stewart, OK.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Film & TV against which Egghead? They're all looking lively here.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Well, I wouldn't say lively. - THEY LAUGH
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Judith.- Judith?- Judith, yeah.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33OK, we'll try Judith then, please.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35How's that? You're not on Sport.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Stewart from the Barmy Army versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Do not mention Sport, it's Film & TV.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48So, here we go - Film & Television.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52And, Stewart, you can choose the first or second set of questions.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I will go first and hope for a nice opener.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59See if I can oblige to you. Good luck.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01In the TV drama series Downton Abbey,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05what is the profession of Mr Carson, played by Jim Carter?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12OK. Right, I'm not 100% sure on this,
0:03:12 > 0:03:17I have seen the episodes on a few occasions and I know
0:03:17 > 0:03:19that butler...
0:03:19 > 0:03:24does appeal because I know that is one of the main characters in
0:03:24 > 0:03:28the programme, so I think I will go for butler.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Butler is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34OK, you're off the blocks, team.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Judith, the words "On Food," "On Fish," and "On France" featured in
0:03:39 > 0:03:43the titles of programmes presented by which cook and food writer?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Well, I don't think Nigel Slater has had anything to do with France.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55And Glynn Christian is not that well known.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57He's more known for his books, I think.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00But, on the other hand, Keith Floyd was all over the place,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02so I think it's him.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Keith Floyd is right.- Hmm. - Well done.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Stewart, here's your question.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Which actor who has previously played the role of the Doctor
0:04:09 > 0:04:13in Doctor Who played Radagast in the 2012 film
0:04:13 > 0:04:15The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Right, OK. The first name that...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26jumps out at me there is David Tennant.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I'm very familiar with all three, however, I have not seen this film.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I think I'll go with my first thought...
0:04:34 > 0:04:36which will be David Tennant.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Let's see from your team-mates there. Anyone?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Sylvester McCoy.- Sylvester McCoy. - Yes, McCoy it is. Sorry, Stewart.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Back to you, Judith. Let's see if you can take the lead.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48The Oscar-winning actor Christoph Waltz was born in which country?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Oh, dear. It could be in any of them.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I think it might be...
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Austria.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Austria is the right answer. Well done. OK, Stewart, your question.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05You need to get this one right now.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09The TV drama Sugar Rush was based on a book by which writer?
0:05:12 > 0:05:17Right, unfortunately, I do not know the answer to this.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So, it's going to have to be...
0:05:20 > 0:05:22elimination time, unless...
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I'm just checking out the three names
0:05:23 > 0:05:27and seeing which one is going to be most likely.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I think I'll go to the left on this and Caitlin Moran.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Caitlin Moran...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Is that right, Eggs?- No. - I'd have gone Julie Burchill.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Julie Burchill is the right answer, Stewart, sorry.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41So, that means, Judith, you've gone through. How about that?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- That's good.- Good for you, but not so good for the Challengers.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Please come back and we'll play on.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50So, as it stands, the Barmy Army have lost
0:05:50 > 0:05:52one brain from the Final Round.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54The Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57The next subject for you is Politics.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I can see you're thinking about that, Brian.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Phew! Do you want to go for it? - Yeah, I was looking forward, yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Well, Craig's going to step in, Jeremy.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Craig is going to do Politics. OK. Which Egghead?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Obviously, it can't be Judith. - Uh, Dave, I think.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- It would have to be Dave.- Dave. - Yeah, Dave.- He'll go with Dave.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16OK, Craig from the Barmy Army versus Dave from the Eggheads on Politics.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18And, just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25So, Politics against Dave, Craig?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Yeah, I think I'm a sacrificial lamb on this one, I'm afraid.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Is it not one of your hobbies? - No, not at all.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I'll make the best of it I can. I don't think any of us wanted
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- this one.- OK, good luck. It's Politics. Do you want to go
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- first or second, Craig? - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Here we go. Good luck. For what does the letter "I" stand
0:06:43 > 0:06:44in the acronym UKIP?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53I'm not sure on this one. Um, I think I can rule out isolation...
0:06:53 > 0:06:54INAUDIBLE WHISPERING
0:06:54 > 0:06:58..I hope, and I will go for independence on this one.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02United Kingdom Independence Party is quite right. Well done.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Independence.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Dave, the emblem of the SNP combines the saltire with
0:07:08 > 0:07:10what other Scottish symbol?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15HE LAUGHS
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Uh, I hope it's a thistle.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Thistle is right. Well done, you got it right.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22OK, your second question, Craig.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Abkhazia is a disputed territory that, in 1999,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27declared itself separate from which country?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Again, I'm not sure.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I...
0:07:34 > 0:07:38think I can rule out Georgia, but that's a hunch.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I'm going to go down the right with Armenia on this one.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Yeah, wrong to rule out Georgia. It was, actually...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Georgia was the right answer there, Craig. I'm sorry.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50OK, Dave, in February 2013,
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Chuck Hagel became the holder of which US political position?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02He became the Secretary of Defense.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Secretary of Defense is quite right. Well done.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08So, he's ahead and you need to get this question correct.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Craig, take your time.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15Hannibal Hamlin was a vice president under which US president?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Again, I'm trusting to guesswork, I'm afraid.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I think I'm going to go for Abraham Lincoln.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- You are right!- Well done.- It is Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln. Well done.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36So, if Dave gets this wrong, we're into Sudden Death.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Dave, the headquarters of ASEAN,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42the Association of South East Asian Nations, are in which city?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48ASEAN is A-S-E-A-N?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50A-S-E-A-N.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Yeah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Um, I'm going to go for Jakarta.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Jakarta is the right answer. Sorry, Craig.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- He didn't give you any quarter there, did he?- No. No let up.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04No let up at all. So, Craig, you've been knocked out, you've been beaten
0:09:04 > 0:09:06by our Egghead. Dave will be in the final.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Both of you please come back here and rejoin your teams.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13As it stands, the Barmy Army have lost two brains from
0:09:13 > 0:09:16the final round. The Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18The next subject is Music.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Which of you would like this?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Are you going to go?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- It's going to be me, Jeremy. - OK, Brian on Music against...?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Will we try Kevin?- Kevin, Pat or Barry?- We'll try Kevin on.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Very good, so, Brian from the Barmy Army versus the very same,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Kevin from the Eggheads on Music. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Well, since you're doing Music, I have to mention Marillion to you,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Brian.- Oh, yes, absolutely fantastic band, Jeremy.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48And you've seen them - this is incredible - how many times?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50About 75 over the years since the early '90s.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Do they give you a wave when they see you out there?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- No, but I have met them a couple of times.- OK.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Well, it would be an amazing coincidence if they came up.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- That'd be great.- So, it's you against Kevin on Music, and would you like
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- to go first or second, Brian? - I'll go first, please.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Here we go. Good luck. According to a song recorded by artists including
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones, where would you get your kicks?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Unfortunately, I actually know this one
0:10:19 > 0:10:23and it's definitely not 46 or 26, it's definitely Route 66.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29- It is indeed on Route 66.- Well done, Brian.- OK, over to you, Kevin.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34The band Thin Lizzy had its first UK chart entry in which decade?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Right, I'm just...because they were very big in the '70s.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I'm just wondering if they...
0:10:44 > 0:10:48..sneaked in at all during the '60s. I don't know.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I think I have to go for the... I hope it's straightforward.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52I'm going for the '70s.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Yeah, it was bands like Status Quo
0:10:55 > 0:10:59and David Bowie just started at the tail end of the '60s, didn't they?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02But Thin Lizzy didn't, they were the 1970s...
0:11:02 > 0:11:03very much.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Brian, OK, over to you.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09"Parisians Hiss New Ballet" was a New York Times headline
0:11:09 > 0:11:13following the first performance of which 1913 piece?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Well, I'm completely out of my comfort zone, unfortunately. Um...
0:11:23 > 0:11:25..The Rite of Spring, I don't think it was.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I'm going to go with Swan Lake.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Do you know this one, Kevin?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It is The Rite of Spring, yeah.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34The Rite of Spring is the right answer.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Is that a famous bit of hissing in Paris, then, Kevin?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Probably, but it's one of the most famous examples, although
0:11:39 > 0:11:42apparently it was exaggerated, the reports were a bit exaggerated.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47But one of the most famous examples of an audience almost riot,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I suppose, because it used new rhythms
0:11:50 > 0:11:53and new choreography that they just weren't used to.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55And they were quite a traditionalist audience.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57They didn't like it at all.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Um, subsequently, it's become very much part of the repertoire.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03There we go. He really does know everything, Brian, I'm afraid.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- He does.- OK, Kevin, your question. Let's see if this catches you out.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11"Shakalaka Baby" which became a UK top 40 single in 2002,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13is a song in which stage musical?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21It doesn't ring any bells immediately. I think I'd better just
0:12:21 > 0:12:24get a spelling, although I can imagine how it's spelt.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28S-H-A-K-A-L-A-K-A.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31No. I don't see why something from Starlight Express,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33which goes back much further...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37..would have been particularly current in 2002.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I'm trying to think about when Bombay Dreams actually started.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I saw the film of The Producers years ago,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45but I haven't seen the stage show, so it's...
0:12:45 > 0:12:47"Shakalaka Baby." "Shakalaka Baby."
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Did Bombay Dreams start...?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I could imagine that being a type of Bollywood song as well.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58It doesn't ring any bells in relation to The Producers,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00which, as I say, I have seen a long time ago,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03but, then again, I've not seen the musical version of it.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05So...
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'll try Bombay Dreams.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Bombay Dreams is correct. Well done.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- So, Kevin pulls clear. You need to get this one right, Brian.- OK.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Elton John's single "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues"
0:13:16 > 0:13:18was taken from which album?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Breaking Hearts, definitely not. Ice On Fire, again, no.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I'm 90% certain it's Too Low For Zero.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31That's not an easy question either, but you're right,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33it is Too Low For Zero.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Well done. So...
0:13:35 > 0:13:37..level, but Kevin has a question in hand.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40If you get this one right, Kevin, you'll be in the final.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Which artist released the 1974 album Veedon Fleece?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50How do you spell the first word there?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Veedon. V-E-E-D-O-N.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53No. I don't think I've heard of that.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I've heard of the titles of a fair number of Neil Young albums
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and I...that doesn't ring any...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03..any bells. Robert Wyatt? I don't know.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Veedon Fleece.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I've no... I really don't know it, I'll try Van Morrison.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Veedon Fleece is Van Morrison, so, Kevin, well done,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14you have got the round
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- with some very good play. Sorry, Brian.- Oh, well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19He's knocked you out, I'm afraid, and he will be in the final.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25So, as it stands, the Barmy Army have lost three brains
0:14:25 > 0:14:27from the final round.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Next subject is Geography, so, is that going to turn the tide for you?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34THEY CONVERSE
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Is it Rob or Hywel? - It's going to have to be Hywel.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- We'll leave Rob till the last.- Yeah. - Who are you going to go against?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Who've we got left?- Pat. - Yeah, I'll go with Pat.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Hywel's going to go against Pat, Jeremy.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Hywel from the Barmy Army against Pat from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Please go to the Question Room.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54So, Pat, you're unleashing new eyewear on us here.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- New technology, whatever it takes. - What's going on?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Well, I just had, in recent times, had slight difficulty reading
0:15:01 > 0:15:04the answers, so I thought, perhaps, I should try my glasses.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Does that explain all the rounds you crashed out of, then?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08I'd like to think so.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11All right. Good luck in this round, Hywel.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14He's got problems seeing. That might help you.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Let's hope so, let's hope so.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18So, Geography. Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19I think I'll go second, please.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Here we go, with Pat.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Magaluf is a tourist resort on which island, Pat?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32First thought is that it's Majorca.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Magaluf... Uncertain, though.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It's very, very popular with the young set.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I should know this and I don't.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I'm going to try Majorca, but it could easily be wrong.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50Majorca is right. Well done. OK, here's your first question.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52The town of Porthcawl, Hywel,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54is in which part of the United Kingdom?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Porthcawl?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I'm not sure, but I'm going to plump for Wales.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I'm glad you did, you're right.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08OK, over to you, Pat.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Which location in the German city of Aachen
0:16:11 > 0:16:14was made a World Heritage Site in 1978?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I think there are baths in Aachen,
0:16:22 > 0:16:27but the really outstanding building there, I think,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31is the cathedral, which dates from the 1100s.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Well, from very early days. I haven't heard of an observatory.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I think I'll have to go for the cathedral.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Cathedral is correct.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Hywel, here's your question. Hang in there.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46With which of these countries does India have the longest border?
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Not sure...
0:16:51 > 0:16:55I'm going to plump for Bangladesh.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Your plumping is working well.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01With Wales, and now Bangladesh, you're right.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Third question to you, Pat. Speedy round, this.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09The Aletsch Glacier is found in which mountains?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14A-L-E-T-S-C-H, Aletsch.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18I think I walked into it as a 13-year-old.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I think it's in Switzerland.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23It's the source of the River Rhone, so that makes it the Alps.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Alps is the right answer. Well done. Hywel, here's your question.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Get this one right to go to Sudden Death, OK?
0:17:31 > 0:17:36The small Caribbean island of Redonda is part of which country?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43How are you spelling that, sorry?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Redonda, R-E-D-O-N-D-A.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51Again, I'm not 100% sure. I'm going to go for Dominica.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Dominica, Domin-eeka, I never know which it is.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57It's wrong, though.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00The answer is Antigua and Barbuda.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02So, on three questions, Pat has got the three right.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Sometimes going second is problematic, Hywel. - Yeah, as it proved to be.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08You've been knocked out, but don't worry.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10As you can see, the Eggheads are playing very well today.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11You caught them at a bad moment.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Well done, Pat, you're in the final round.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Please, both of you rejoin your teams.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:18:25 > 0:18:27won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31So, Brian, Stewart, Hywel and Craig from the Barmy Army,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33would you please now leave the studio.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37So, Rob, you've been left alone slightly here.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Yes, I am feeling slightly outgunned,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41but I'm going to give it my best and see how I can get on.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45All right. Do you watch the show? Do you see these guys in action?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I'm a big fan, yeah, and I have seen these guys in action.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I'm quite intimidated, but I'll give it my best shot.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53You'll know, if you watch, that people have come from that position,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56where you are now, on their own, and won.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Yes. Well, the questions are easy if you know the answers,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- so let's hope I do. - All the best to you.- Thank you.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05You're playing to win the Barmy Army £4,000.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin and Dave,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10you're playing for something that money cannot buy -
0:19:10 > 0:19:12the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:19:18 > 0:19:19and you are allowed to confer.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23So, Rob, the question is, is your one brain able to defeat
0:19:23 > 0:19:25these five that we're looking at here?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27You don't need to answer that, though,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29you've just got to tell me whether you want to go first or second.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Can I go first, please, Jeremy? Thank you.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35OK, best of luck, Rob. Here we go.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Which mythical creatures are frequently said
0:19:38 > 0:19:40to have no reflection in a mirror?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I'm a big fan of the show Supernatural,
0:19:45 > 0:19:50so following on from that, I'm pretty sure it's not zombies.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53It's vampires, I think, from the Hammer films as well.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Vampires is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59OK, Eggheads, here's your first question.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03TMZ is a popular website on what subject?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Entertainment news. Entertainment news, TMZ. Entertainment news, yeah.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Right, well, we're all agreed on that one.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15TMZ is for entertainment news.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18It is indeed for entertainment news, well done.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Back to you, Rob.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Who published the autobiography Hey Jo in 2013?
0:20:26 > 0:20:31I genuinely do not know, so I'm afraid I will be having to guess.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Jo Durie seems a bit after her time.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'm not sure... I'm going to go for Jo Wood.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Ex-wife of, I think it's Ronnie Wood, is it?- Yeah, Ronnie Wood.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Yeah, Ronnie Wood's ex. Jo Wood is right.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48OK. Eggheads, here we go with your second question.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53The edible sea creature known as trepang has what English name?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Sea cucumbers are edible, aren't they?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- It's the one that sprang to my mind. - Could we get a spelling?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Yeah. Could we get the spelling, Jeremy?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Trepang, T-R-E-P-A-N-G.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I do not think you have to say sea lamprey.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16I mean, lampreys are lampreys. You don't get sea lampreys, do you?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- And scallops, the same. - Sea cucumber is a sort of delicacy.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I've seen that name, I've seen that word, trepang.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Are we happy with cucumber?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Happy with that? PAT: Slightly concerned but...
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Slightly concerned? - It's probably the best option.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31BARRY: Yeah, yeah. OK.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35OK, well we're not 100% certain on that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36You probably can eat all of them,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39but the one that springs to mind more readily as one that you eat
0:21:39 > 0:21:41is a sea cucumber, so we'll go for that.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Sea cucumber is the right answer.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47OK, your third question.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49In the 17th and 18th centuries,
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Claude Duval and Jerry Abershawe were famous as what?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I don't think it's explorers,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03they don't ring a bell as being explorers.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Somewhere in the back of my mind,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I couldn't say why, I think it might be highwaymen.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10So, that's my answer, highwaymen.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Is he right, Eggheads?- Yes.- Yeah, you're right. Highwaymen it is.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18You've got three out of three. It's very good playing. Well done, Rob.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19So, if the Eggheads get this one wrong -
0:22:19 > 0:22:21and it can happen, as you know -
0:22:21 > 0:22:23then you've taken the prize, you've done very, very well.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26OK, here we go. Which Yorkshire football stadium
0:22:26 > 0:22:29was originally known as the Old Peacock Ground?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Well, Leeds United are known as the Peacocks.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36They are known as the Peacocks.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40I've not heard of Valley Parade or Bramall Lane.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41I've not heard of them.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44You'd know better than me, but, yeah, it's the Peacocks.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- The Peacocks are Leeds United. - Are we happy to go for Leeds United?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I'm happy to go with Leeds United, yeah.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, Leeds United were known as the Peacocks,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56so on that basis, we'll all go for Elland Road.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Elland Road is your answer because that is where Leeds plays?- Yes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Elland Road is correct.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Three each.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06So, we're into Sudden Death now, Rob,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09which means it's a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Your question - which actor was nominated for an Oscar
0:23:12 > 0:23:16for his role in his 1997 film, Boogie Nights?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I remember the film. I have seen it.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28I think there are two actors it could be. It could be Mark Wahlberg.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I seem to think Burt Reynolds was in as well.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36For whatever reason, I don't think it was Mark Wahlberg.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I'm going to go for Burt Reynolds. I think might be him.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Excellent answer, you're right. Burt Reynolds it is.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Lost out to Robin Williams.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47OK, your question, Eggheads.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Sudden Death.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51If you get this one wrong, the contest is over, you will have lost.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Suddenly, we're on the edge again. Here's your question.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Max Brod achieved renown
0:23:56 > 0:24:03as the friend, editor and biographer of which writer, born in 1883?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Kafka, all agreed?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Yes, I think Max Brod was the best friend of Franz Kafka.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Franz Kafka is correct.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Well, you've done more than enough in some other games,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17but not in this one. So, we play on, Sudden Death.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Who wrote 10 Rillington Place,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23a book that investigated the cases of Timothy Evans and John Christie
0:24:23 > 0:24:24and came to be instrumental
0:24:24 > 0:24:27in the abolition of the death penalty in the UK?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32No, I'm stumped, Jeremy, I think.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33I'll have a moment.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38No, I can't give you an answer, I'm afraid.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I think I may kick myself when you tell me, but...
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I can't get it out of my head. No. Sorry.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- No guess?- No.- See if they know.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- Ludovic Kennedy. - Ludovic Kennedy is the answer.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53So, that means, Eggheads, if you get this one right,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55the game is suddenly over and you take the contest.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Get it wrong, we play on.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Who was the second person in space?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Second person? Was it Titov?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Titov? Gherman Titov?- Or Shepard?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07PAT: Was it a Russian?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It's a Russian, yeah, yeah.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I think it's Titov, isn't it?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12It's Titov, Gherman Titov,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15because they sent up a manned mission before the Americans, yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I think it's Gherman Titov.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Yeah?- Yeah...just...
0:25:20 > 0:25:21G-H-E-R-M-A-N.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- I think you're right, yeah. - Gherman Titov.- All right.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Gherman Titov.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Second person in space, Gherman Titov...
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- ..is the wrong answer.- Oh?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Alan Shepard.- Ach!
0:25:35 > 0:25:40- You said Alan Shepard, I heard you say it.- Yes. Oh, well.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Well, how interesting.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44We've got a situation here where the Eggheads can't get answers right,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47which is handy for you. Here we go with your question.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51In 2012, the postal services of the USA and France
0:25:51 > 0:25:53issued joint commemorative stamps
0:25:53 > 0:25:56featuring Miles Davis and which French singer?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01It's really unfortunate I haven't got Brian here to confer with.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05That would be his specialist subject, music.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Once again, I can only apologise.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I'm guessing. Miles Davis...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Edith Piaf? I'm guessing. I don't know.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Edith Piaf is the right answer. Well done. You've got it right.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25OK, Eggheads,
0:26:25 > 0:26:30who played the title role in Charlie Chaplin's 1921 film, The Kid?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33And if you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- Jackie Coogan.- Jackie Coogan? Coogan, not Coo-GAN?- Coogan, yeah.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- Coogan?- Yes. The title role in The Kid was Jackie Coogan.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47It was indeed Jackie Coogan. Well done.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Your next question, Sudden Death, Rob.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Yamoussoukro was named the official capital
0:26:52 > 0:26:56of which African country in 1983?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58How are you spelling that, please, Jeremy?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02All one word, Y-A-M-O-U-S-S-O-U-K-R-O,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Yamoussoukro.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14I can only apologise. I think I'm going to have to guess again.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I'm going to go, for no particular, reason for Mali.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22It's not Mali.
