0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against, possibly, the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads
0:00:33 > 0:00:36and taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Now, this team all know one another through
0:00:40 > 0:00:43the Cheese Society of Bristol University.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47The society are meets up every month and has over 90 members.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Ellie. I'm 20 and I'm a chemistry student.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Laura, I'm 20 and I'm studying medicine.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm James, I'm 21 and I'm studying global health.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Harry, I'm 20 years old and I'm a medical student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Adam, I'm 19 and I'm a maths student.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- So, Ellie and team, welcome.- Hello.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12So, tell us about the Cheese Society of Bristol.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Well, we are a small society only of about 90 people.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I say small, that's quite big. Um, but, our team at the moment,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22we're comprised of...I'm the treasurer and Laura is
0:01:22 > 0:01:25the co-president and we have an ex-president with us and members...
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Crucially, which cheeses really, rather than the positions.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- I mean, you're...what's your cheese? - My cheese? I am partial to a Tomme.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Should we go down...?
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Let's find out as the game goes on,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38we'll find out which each of your...the cheese you support,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and you'll have to tell us your cheeses as well, Eggheads, OK?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:43 > 0:01:45up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53So, Let It Brie, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:01:53 > 0:01:54which means that...
0:01:55 > 0:01:58..says you can't beat them today. Would you like to try?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Absolutely.- Yes, definitely. - I'm very glad.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Who would like this?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07THEY CONFER
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Sort of cultured film stuff and
0:02:09 > 0:02:11music stuff for you as well, Laura, because...
0:02:11 > 0:02:12I know nothing about Arts & Books.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15OK, well, Laura, you said that you were good for the film...the
0:02:15 > 0:02:18music, sorry, so, maybe this would be related to what you need to do.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Yeah, what do you think? Yes?- Yes. - Yes.- It'll be Laura.- I hope so.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25So, Laura on Arts & Books. OK, against which Egghead?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Maybe...maybe Pat.- Yeah, I don't know what Pat's strong at.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- He looks like he's ready to battle, maybe.- Yes.- Would you...?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Yeah, I would like to take on Pat, please.- Good stuff.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37So, Laura from Let It Brie versus Pat from the Eggheads and, to ensure
0:02:37 > 0:02:40there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So, Laura, your favourite cheese, please.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Um, I've got to stick with the Welsh on this one.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- It has to be Caerphilly cheese. - Caerphilly? OK. Pat?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I like Wensleydale.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57OK. Arts & Books, Laura, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Um, I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Here we go.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07In Tolkien's novel, The Hobbit, what is the name of the blade
0:03:07 > 0:03:12owned by Bilbo Baggins which glows in the presence of enemies?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Um, I am a great fan of Tolkien.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I've read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24so I'm quite confident to say that that's Sting.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Sting is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Good start. It's always good
0:03:28 > 0:03:32to get the first one in the bag. OK, Pat, your question.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34How many daughters do Mr and Mrs Bennet have
0:03:34 > 0:03:37in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I think the daughters are quite numerous.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I saw the dramatization on TV
0:03:46 > 0:03:48with Jennifer Ehle and, uh...
0:03:49 > 0:03:54..Julia Sawalha. I think there must be five of them. Five.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Yup, the high number is the right number. Five it is.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00OK, Laura, Natasha Rostova
0:04:00 > 0:04:03is a central character in which novel?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10OK, I'm struggling with this one a bit more.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Um, I think Crime and Punishment is standing out to me,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21although I'm not sure, but can I please have Crime and Punishment?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24You may indeed, but it is wrong, I'm afraid.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26War and Peace it is, Laura.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Pat, over to you to take the lead.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32The Fontana del Moro, or Fountain of the Moor,
0:04:32 > 0:04:37with a central statue sculpted by Bernini is in which city?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Well, in general, Bernini is strongly linked with Rome.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Of course, um, he could have travelled.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54I think I'll have to go on the basis that Bernini is a particularly
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Roman artist and go for Rome.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Yes, Rome is correct.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Another question to you, Laura.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Which of these was represented in the sculpture
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Powerless Structures Figure 101,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11displayed on Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth in 2012?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18"Powerless Structures"...
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I wouldn't go for teddy bear.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I think rocking horse sounds the most probable,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26so, yeah, I'm going to go for rocking horse.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Yeah, I walked past that just the other day funnily enough
0:05:29 > 0:05:32and was really struck by it. It is absolutely a rocking horse.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Well done.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36So, if you get this one right, Pat,
0:05:36 > 0:05:40you have taken the round cos Laura got one wrong earlier.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Which poet wrote the poem whose opening lines are traditionally
0:05:44 > 0:05:48translated as, "Awake! For morning in the bowl of night,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50"Has flung the stone that put the stars to flight."
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I think that's translated from...
0:06:00 > 0:06:01..Arabic or Persian.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06And I think it's The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07It's Omar Khayyam.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Omar Khayyam is the right answer, so you've got three out of three.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Sorry, Laura. He's beaten you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14He hasn't got as good taste in cheese though.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17You won't be in the final and Pat will.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Please both of you rejoin your team-mates and we'll play on.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24So, Let It Brie have lost one brain.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet. It could happen though.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32The next subject is Politics. Who would like this?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33- Harry!- We were just talking
0:06:33 > 0:06:37about this, that if Politics comes up, Harry's going to go for it.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- OK, Harry on Politics.- Yeah, yeah, I think I'm happy to do that.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Cheese and Eggs, which Egg do you want?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44- I would say Barry.- Yeah, yeah.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Well, let's try and take him out on Politics.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Yeah, let's do it. - We'll take the risk. Shall we do it?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51We'll go for Barry. Yeah, Barry.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54OK, so, Harry from Let It Brie versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57They're trying to take you out of the final round, Barry.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59That's a big compliment!
0:06:59 > 0:07:00To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07So, let's do the favourite cheeses then. Harry?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10The favourite cheese, Jeremy, is a real Yorkshire Wensleydale.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Right, the same as Pat. Barry?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I'm a turophile, a lover of cheese,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18and my favourite cheese is of the extreme variety.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I absolutely adore Gorgonzola and Stinking Bishop.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24In fact, I even have a fridge which is in the garage,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- because my wife won't allow them in the house!- Oh, right, well,
0:07:27 > 0:07:28he could be an honorary member of
0:07:28 > 0:07:30the Bristol University Cheese Society.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Nothing would please me more. - Definitely!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34He could bring his fridges to your special sessions.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Um, Harry, I gather you've got a real interest in politics as well?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Err, yes, a real interest.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I served on the Youth Parliament for three years
0:07:41 > 0:07:45and was recently appointed Director of Policy and Advocacy for
0:07:45 > 0:07:47a charity, a student-based charity,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- that has branches across universities across the country.- Interesting.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55All right, well, here we go with politics, which can go back a way.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56So, good luck.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Do you want to go for the first or second set of questions?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I'd like to go for the first, thank you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Here we go, Harry, good luck.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Sebastian Coe served as an MP for Falmouth and Camborne
0:08:09 > 0:08:10in which decade?
0:08:15 > 0:08:20So, we all know Sebastian Coe first as an Olympic medallist.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22And I think more recently we know him
0:08:22 > 0:08:25because he was Chair of the Olympic Committee.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Uh...
0:08:26 > 0:08:31I would say...based upon his athletics career and then
0:08:31 > 0:08:33him moving into this Olympics career,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36it has to be between those two periods,
0:08:36 > 0:08:37so, I would say the 1990s.
0:08:38 > 0:08:411990s is absolutely right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Yes!- Yes!- Yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45OK, Barry,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Brightside and Hillsborough is a constituency in which British city?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Brightside and Hillsborough...
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Ooh, it's not Belfast.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I'm torn on this one.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Brightside and Hillsborough...
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I'm going to go for Edinburgh.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07How interesting. Well...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Harry, you'll know this one, cos you're from Sheffield.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12There is a Sheffield Brightside, uh,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15and the correct Sheffield MP, I think, is...
0:09:15 > 0:09:17uh...is David Blunkett.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Yeah, I think that was the connection, Barry, to get, is that
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Sheffield Brightside has a famous MP which is,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26or did before it was changed, David Blunkett.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- I should have known that. - So, Sheffield is the answer. Hmm.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31OK, Harry, to take the lead, which of these prime ministers
0:09:31 > 0:09:34did not speak English as his first language?
0:09:39 > 0:09:44I think the name that's screaming at me, if any, would be
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Henry Campbell Bannerman.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Eggheads, is he right?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49- No.- No.- No?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Lloyd George.- Lloyd George. Was it Welsh?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- It was. - Welsh was his first language.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55- Oh, I see.- OK David Lloyd George.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58So, Barry, your question.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Outside the largest cities, what is the name of the lowest tier
0:10:01 > 0:10:05of political administration in France, headed by a mayor?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Department, I think, is the largest of those.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17I think Arrondissement is a district and I think Commune is
0:10:17 > 0:10:21smaller than Arrondissement, so I shall go for Commune.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Commune is quite right. Well done. You're off the blocks.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Your question, Harry.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Who was the female doctor who became an MP in 1938,
0:10:30 > 0:10:36a parliamentary secretary in 1945, and a life peer in 1961?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Again, nothing screaming at me.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Um, I would be split between Edith Pitt and Edith Summerskill.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54And I will say Edith Pitt.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Is he right, Barry?- Well, I'd have gone for Edith Summerskill.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Edith Summerskill is the right answer.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02So, you've let Barry in here.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04If he gets this right, he's taken the round.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Named after a president,
0:11:06 > 0:11:12what is the name of the database of US Congress legislative information?
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Well, I shall...
0:11:18 > 0:11:22..think, go after the most famous literate president there,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and probably one of the most famous legislators as well, so,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28I'll go for Thomas on the basis that it was named after Thomas Jefferson.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Oh, OK.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I thought you'd be trying to break it down into some kind of acronym,
0:11:33 > 0:11:38like the HOLMES computer the police have in the UK.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- There's too many letters in those names.- Yeah.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Thomas is right though. You've taken the round, Barry. Sorry, Harry.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Barry's in the final. Harry, you're not.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55As it stands, Let It Brie have lost two brains, two little slices
0:11:55 > 0:11:58of cheese, from the final round and the Eggheads have not lost a brain.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Let's try and get one out now, OK? The next subject is sport.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- That's me, isn't it?- Definitely.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Again, we were just talking about that.- It's me!- It's Adam.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- It's going to be Adam. OK, against which Egghead?- I think Chris.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Yeah, Chris. I'd like to take on Chris, please.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22OK, sure, Adam. So, Sport for Adam against Chris from the Eggheads,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24and, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26please go to the Question Room.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28So, Adam, your favourite cheese.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30My favourite cheese is a Cornish Yarg,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32which is quite an unusual cheese.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Does it come wrapped in something?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Yes, stinging nettles.- Ah!- Yes. - How interesting.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Chris, what about yours?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I'm quite partial to a nice bit of Stilton.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Especially with my local supermarket.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Sometimes, when it's in stock, you can
0:12:44 > 0:12:48get Stilton with little pieces of apricot in it and that is beautiful.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50OK, sport is the subject. Adam, you can choose
0:12:50 > 0:12:52whether you want to go first or second.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Here we go. Good luck.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01In 2013, which English football club announced they would be putting up
0:13:01 > 0:13:05a statue of the Dutch footballer Dennis Bergkamp
0:13:05 > 0:13:06outside their ground?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Well, Dennis Bergkamp famously played for Arsenal for a very long time,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16so I'm going to say for Arsenal.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Arsenal is the right answer. Adam, well done.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Chris, which Olympic gold medallist,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26who later became a BBC sports commentator and pundit,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29carried the Olympic torch at Stonehenge in 2012?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Ah! I always thought Ed Moses was American.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Um...- They're all American! - So is Carl Lewis.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Must be Michael Johnson.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- On the basis that he's the one who's not American?- Hmm.- Right.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- They're all American, Chris. - Are they?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53So, the one you thought wasn't American, is,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54but you still got it right.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Oh, good.- How unfair is that?! Michael Johnson.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Adam, what name is usually given
0:14:00 > 0:14:05to the leg movement which allows a water polo player to tread water?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Well, due to the circular action of the legs, that's the eggbeater.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Brilliant. You went straight there. You heard that before, have you?
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Yes, I used to do a bit of swimming.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Well, I was amazed watching the Olympics,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22when they were in the pool,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25how their treading water is not like anything we do.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- It is...they're almost two feet out of the water.- Yeah.- It's incredible.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It is a lot of effort to tread water like they do.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35It must be completely exhausting, yeah. Chris, here's your question.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37St George's Park Cricket Ground,
0:14:37 > 0:14:42which first hosted a test match in 1889, is in which country?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Well, it's not England... but I have an idea.
0:14:47 > 0:14:501889 would be about right for
0:14:50 > 0:14:52the first test match in New Zealand, so I'll say New Zealand.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57OK, here your logic has taken you astray, I'm afraid.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- South Africa is the answer. - It is South Africa?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02So, you're ahead, Adam.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05If you get this one right, you're in the final round
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- and your team will go crazy... - TEAM LAUGHS
0:15:07 > 0:15:10..and start throwing Brie around.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Snooker's World Open event was held in which Chinese city
0:15:14 > 0:15:17for the first time in 2012?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Now, this one I don't know and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to work
0:15:24 > 0:15:27it out, but, in the back of my mind somewhere, I think
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I've heard Guiyang somewhere before so that is my answer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I'm sorry, it's wrong.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's Haikou. So, Chris has the chance to come back.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42In the 1940s and '50s, Hatton's Grace was the first horse
0:15:42 > 0:15:44to win which race in three consecutive years?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Well, the most prestigious of those three is the Champion Hurdle,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57so that's what I'll have to go with, Champion Hurdle.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01The year 1949, 1950 and '51 Champion Hurdle is the right answer.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Chris, well done. You've got it right, so, after three questions
0:16:04 > 0:16:06each, the scores are level. We go to Sudden Death, Adam.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It's a bit harder now, cos I don't give you alternative answers, OK?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14The Swede Lennart Bergelin was best known as the coach of which
0:16:14 > 0:16:17tennis player in the 1970s and '80s?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Again, not sure, but the '70s and '80s...
0:16:23 > 0:16:24..tennis player...
0:16:26 > 0:16:31I'm going to say Ivan Lendl would be around that time.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34No, because I think a fellow countryman was the place to
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- look on this one. It was Bjorn Borg. - Ah.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Bad luck.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41OK, Chris, you get the round if you get this one right.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44The socialites Tamara and Petra are the daughters of
0:16:44 > 0:16:46which leading figure in sport?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51They're the daughters of Bernie Ecclestone, surely,
0:16:51 > 0:16:52the Formula 1 chappie.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Tamara and Petra are the daughters of Bernie Ecclestone.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Well done, Chris, you've taken the round. Sorry, Adam.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- I thought you had him there. - Yeah.- Not to worry.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02You won't be in the final. Chris will.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The Challengers have got to turn it around.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Please come back and we'll play on.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10OK, any change of plan? We lost...
0:17:10 > 0:17:12We're still going to go with it!
0:17:12 > 0:17:16We lost Cornish Yarg, we lost Wensleydale, and Caerphilly.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18But we're left with...what's your cheese?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Tomme.- OK. Well, that's a powerful one.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Well, exactly, it's a Swiss mountain cheese, so...
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Yeah, it doesn't get dislodged easily.- Yeah, exactly.- All right.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30So, Let It Brie have lost three brains from the final round,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34but there is no panic there yet. The Eggheads are still intact.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37The next subject for you is Film & Television.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I'm taking that. I'm taking that one, please.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42OK, so we have the Swiss mountain cheese against which Egghead.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- It can be Judith or Kevin. - I think...should we take Kevin?
0:17:46 > 0:17:47- I think you should.- Kevin.- OK.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- I think we're going to take on Kevin, please.- OK, so, Ellie from
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Let It Brie versus Kevin from the Eggheads. He may struggle to name
0:17:53 > 0:17:56a cheese, actually cos he's not good on his food and drink.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Please both of you go to the Question Room now.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01So, yours was the Swiss mountain cheese, Ellie.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Kevin, give us your favourite cheese.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I grew up with Cheddar as the cheese of record,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10so that was the one that was trotted out.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I'm assuming, Ellie, that the students in
0:18:12 > 0:18:15the Bristol Cheese Society just move beyond Cheddar.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Well, we do quite often have a really good Cheddar,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21but we do like to vary it up quite a lot.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25OK, it's Film & TV, you're against Kevin who is...well,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27he'd be quite a catch if you can knock him out.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Let's put it like that. Knock him overboard.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Would you like to go first or second?- I think I'll go first.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Ellie, the Olympic boxer Luke Campbell reached
0:18:38 > 0:18:42the final of which reality TV show in 2013?
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Now, I don't actually know this. Um, I think that he'd probably be
0:18:52 > 0:18:53on Dancing on Ice.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Yeah, absolutely. Dancing on Ice it is.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59APPLAUSE
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Kevin, what type of weapon is used by the gangsters
0:19:02 > 0:19:03in the film Bugsy Malone?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It's a long time since I've seen it,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14but I think they have these rather tubular...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17..guns, which fire...
0:19:17 > 0:19:22effectively custard pies, so that would make them splurge guns.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Splurge guns is right.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29OK, Ellie, your question. The Ricky Gervais TV comedy drama Derek
0:19:29 > 0:19:31is mainly set in what type of establishment?
0:19:36 > 0:19:41I actually watch this series, um, so I know this one straightaway.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43It's an old people's home.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45It is an old people's home. Good stuff.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47APPLAUSE
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Kevin, in 2011, who took on the role of Saul Berenson
0:19:51 > 0:19:53in the TV drama Homeland?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I think he's the, um, I think he's the boss of
0:20:03 > 0:20:06the Claire Danes character. I think he's played by Mandy Patinkin.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10He is indeed played by Mandy Patinkin.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Two each. Ellie...
0:20:12 > 0:20:16third question could be crucial, it's a big moment for your team.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Which sporting event is featured in the Oscar-nominated
0:20:19 > 0:20:232003 animation, Belleville Rendez-vous?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I have absolutely no idea. So, um,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I don't think it's the Tour de France.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Um, for some odd reason, Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe is, um,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44calling out at me.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Um, so I think I'm going to go with that one.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Let's see if your team-mates know here. Anyone?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I would have gone for Tour de France.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Tour de France it is, Ellie.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Bicycles.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58So, Kevin has the chance to take the round.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02In which film does Robert De Niro play a character called Johnny Boy?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Uh, yes, in Angel Heart he's effectively the devil,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13and Casino, well, he's a gangster in that,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17but, in Mean Streets he is a kind of street hustler...
0:21:18 > 0:21:21..called Johnny Boy, so it's Mean Streets.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Mean Streets is the right answer. Sorry, Ellie, he's knocked you out.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27He's very, very good though, if that's a consolation.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Kevin, you will be in the final and, if you both rejoin your teams,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32we will play that final round.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36This is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:21:38 > 0:21:39is General Knowledge,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:42 > 0:21:44to take part in this round.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48So, Ellie, Laura, Harry and Adam from Let It Brie,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52the brilliantly named team, would you please now leave the studio.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56James, good luck, you're playing to win Let It Brie £4,000.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Chris, Barry, Pat, Judith, Kevin, you're playing for something
0:22:00 > 0:22:03that money can't buy...the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:22:09 > 0:22:13and you are allowed to confer. I know there's no-one to confer with.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15James, the question for you is,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19can your one brain overwhelm these five here?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Don't worry about answering that just now.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25You just need to tell me if you want to go first or second.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Well, everyone else has gone first, so I'll go second.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34OK, so we start with the five Eggheads. Here we go.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37A creche is a model representing which scene from the Bible?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42- Nativity.- Nativity.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Nativity.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Nativity is correct.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Over to you, James.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53By what title was Pope Benedict XVI known
0:22:53 > 0:22:56following his 2013 resignation?
0:23:04 > 0:23:09I suppose I should know this, but nothing jumping out,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12so, Pope Emeticus...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Uh...
0:23:14 > 0:23:17doesn't make me think of anything. Pope Exalticus...
0:23:19 > 0:23:22..I'm not even sure if he was a particularly popular Pope.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I think he did a lot of visits, so maybe he would be exalted for that.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Emeritus...um...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I think I'll go for Emeritus as merit...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34for his work.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Great. Really glad you did. It's right. Pope Emeritus.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Your team are happy behind you.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41OK...
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Here's your question.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Eggheads, Jan Mayen,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50an island in the Arctic Circle is part of which country?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Norway.- Norway.- Norway. - Is it Norway?- Norwegian, definitely.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Um, that's, um, Norway.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Norway is the right answer.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Here's your question, James.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05What was the first name of the country musician who was
0:24:05 > 0:24:09June Carter's mother and Johnny Cash's mother-in-law?
0:24:15 > 0:24:20I think the only thing I have to go on is I've seen Walk The Line.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I'm not even sure if she features in it.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Um...I don't think it's Tanya...
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Um...
0:24:29 > 0:24:30So, Patty or Maybelle.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I-I'll just go Maybelle. That's a guess.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Cos it sounds a bit more country. - Yeah, I think so.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Is he right?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Yes.- Yeah.- You're right! Maybelle it is!
0:24:44 > 0:24:46OK, third question to the Eggheads.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51The comedy performer Sam Wills uses the stage name The Boy With...what?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Tape On His Face. I think he's a New Zealander.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I vaguely heard that, yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05There is an active comedian who does mime and he's the...
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Man With The Tape On His Face.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- Yeah.- He would have to, wouldn't he? If he had tape on his face.- Exactly.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I may have seen a picture of him.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16We think it's, well, it's Pat more than anybody,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18thinks it's Tape On His Face.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22And you're absolutely right. Tape On His Face is the answer.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Here's your question, James.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Where in the human body is the capitate bone?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Oh!
0:25:33 > 0:25:38I feel it's the hand, so I suppose that counts as the wrist.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Um...it's not the knee...
0:25:41 > 0:25:42as far as I can think.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45The capitate, I think it's the wrist.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51OK, there's lots of medical knowledge behind you. Is he right?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Yeah, you're right. Well done!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56So, we go to Sudden Death, Eggheads.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59You know it gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Smolensk is a city in which country? - Belarus.- Belarus.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Well, it's got to be Belarus or Russia, hasn't it?- It's Russia.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Well, the Polish, lots of leading Poles died
0:26:09 > 0:26:11there in the crash at some point, didn't they?
0:26:13 > 0:26:14At Smolensk, the big air crash.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17- Ah.- Hm.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21But they could have been visiting Belarus or they could have been...?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- No, they were on their way to... - Katyn.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Yeah, it was a ceremony relating to the...- Oh, that air crash yes.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30..the Katyn Forrest Massacre.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35The trouble is, it's somewhere near the border, whichever side it's on.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36Um...
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- I'm going for Russia. - Honestly, I think it's Russia.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- I'm...- Cos of the crash? - I think it's reasonably big.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yeah, I'm inclined now to think Russia.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49My gut feeling's Russia, I must admit. I think it's just in.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- It's just in.- Well, Russia's bigger than Belarus, so...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Well, on balance.- OK, shall we go for Russia?- I think on balance, yes.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56- Russia?- Yes.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00All right, well, with rather a lot of doubt, we're going for Russia.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- You've got it right.- Oh.- It is Russia.- Phew!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It was very interesting hearing you go through it, all five of you.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10So, now the pressure's on you, James,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13cos you've got to get this right or the contest is over.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17International Women's Day takes place in which month of the year?
0:27:17 > 0:27:22We...as part of our course, have been studying maternal and child health.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25So, it was mentioned,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28and at this point I'm just trying to...you know,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31I've got a vague memory of a period of time.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32I'm trying to place it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Um...
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And I'm swinging towards March, but that might be wrong.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43I think I need to break it down into things that happened.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44I think it was February.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Is that your answer?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Yeah, that's my answer. - February's your answer.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50I'm sorry, you've got it wrong.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- It was March.- It was March.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It was like the Belarus, Russia moment there for you
0:27:55 > 0:27:57and it worked the wrong way round.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00So, on Sudden Death, we say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01You have won.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Drat! Cos it was very much like a Belarus, Russia moment, wasn't it?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- The same thing...you could go either way with that.- Yeah.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Anyway, commiserations, to Let It Brie.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22They made quite an effort of it today.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24They still reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I'm afraid that means you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:27 > 0:28:31so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Who will beat you?
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see
0:28:33 > 0:28:37if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40£5,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
