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,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably the 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain,
0:00:31 > 0:00:32they are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are the Green Giants, this team of old school friends
0:00:39 > 0:00:42quiz together at The Purley Arms in Croydon.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Kush, I'm 25 and I'm a trainee lawyer.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Alex, I'm 25 and I'm a caseworker for an MP.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Dave, I'm 25 and I'm a management consultant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Naveed, I'm 25 and I'm a research scientist.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Max, I'm 25 and I'm a solicitor.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Welcome to you, Green Giants. Good to see you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- You're all friends, is that it?- We are, yes.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10And quiz together and how do you do in that quiz?
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- We win our bar tabs, that's about the limit of it.- But you win the quiz?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- We do all right. - How competitive does it get?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20As competitive as pub quizzes really get in Croydon.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Right, I see, you've kind of put that in perspective.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Now you're playing the creme de la creme, world quiz champions,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Brains of Britain, Masterminds, Millionaire winners.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- How does that feel, Kush? - Slightly nerve-racking.- OK.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35But I reckon we've got a chance if we get the right questions.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38All right, well, we've got slightly more than your bar tab
0:01:38 > 0:01:40on offer as a reward if you should beat them today.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:43 > 0:01:45for our Challengers. However, if they fail
0:01:45 > 0:01:47to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over
0:01:47 > 0:01:50to the next show and that's been happening quite a bit, Green Giants.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52The Eggheads have won the last 12 games.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56It means £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58First head-to-head, the first battle, first attempt to
0:01:58 > 0:02:01knock an Egghead out is going to be on the subject of Politics.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Who wants to take this one on?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- I think we send Alex. - I think I have to, yeah.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And choose an Egghead, as you know, any one of those five.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Who we going for?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Do you want to make it a Manchester-only affair?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- I think I'm going to take a chance on Dave, yeah.- OK.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Let's make it an all Manchester affair,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I live up there at the moment, so I'd like to take on Dave.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22OK, right, an all Manchester affair.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Alex and Dave, you have to go to the Question Room, please.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So Alex, you're not just after the money today,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30this is partly personal for you, isn't it?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33You've got some family scores to settle.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I do, back in 2008, both of my parents were on Eggheads,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38got to the tiebreaker in the final round,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41but lost out in a bit of a spectacular duel, but in the end,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44yup, they lost, so I've got some family scores to settle.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK, right, Alex,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49do you want to go first or second in this Politics round?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'll go first, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Good luck, Alex. First question is this.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Which former American First Lady
0:02:57 > 0:03:03married for a second time on the Greek island of Skorpios in 1968?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I think Jacqueline Kennedy married someone Onassis
0:03:11 > 0:03:15and I think he was Greek and around about the 1960s would make sense
0:03:15 > 0:03:17as well so I'm going to go for Jacqueline Kennedy.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Jacqueline Kennedy who became Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23it's the right answer. Well done, Alex.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And Dave, in which city
0:03:25 > 0:03:26was the politician Ed Miliband born?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33I know what I should go for. Don't think it's Liverpool.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Don't think it's Lincoln, I think he's a Londoner.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39London, you're right, yes. Ed Miliband born in London.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41OK, back to you, Alex.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45In 1980, Francisco de Sa Carneiro was killed in a plane crash
0:03:45 > 0:03:48while serving as Prime Minister of which European country?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Ooh, the name doesn't sound familiar.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I would've thought I would've heard if the Spanish Prime Minister
0:03:58 > 0:04:01had died in a plane crash so I'm not sure, I might rule that one out.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Just because I haven't heard of it and I don't know too much
0:04:03 > 0:04:06about Maltese politics, I'm going to guess Malta.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09OK, Malta, Francisco de Sa Carneiro.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15No, it's not the Spanish, it is the Portuguese Prime Minister.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16OK, Dave,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19chance for the lead, then. After the 2010 general election,
0:04:19 > 0:04:23what was the approximate average age of an MP in the House of Commons?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31There are a lot of 40-something MPs, I've got to go 40.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35I'm going to go the extreme end, because 50 doesn't...
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Hmm. 40.- OK, 40.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43I see there's quite a lot of old ones filling up those back benches
0:04:43 > 0:04:47as well which brings the average age up from that to 50.
0:04:47 > 0:04:5250, Dave, so right, stays all square, both failing
0:04:52 > 0:04:54on the second question. Alex, third question.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Which 19th-century British Prime Minister gained the nickname
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Finality Jack earlier in his political career?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09This isn't ringing any bells really either. Let me think.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Erm...
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I was hoping one of them would be called Jack, that would make it
0:05:14 > 0:05:16nice and easy, but maybe, it's a bit stuck,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19but John Russell could be Jack Russell, that's all I've got,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I'm going to say Lord John Russell.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Well, do you know that's exactly what I was thinking when you were
0:05:24 > 0:05:26saying I wish one of them was called Jack, yes, he is John,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29nickname obviously Jack, it's the right answer.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Well done.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Now Dave's got to get this to keep the round alive.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Dave, the former Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage
0:05:37 > 0:05:42is regarded as the architect of the welfare state in which country?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Don't like this one at all. I'm going to rule out South Africa.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Is he a New Zealand Prime Minister or is he an Australian?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57I'll go Australia and fall on my sword.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Get it out of the scabbard, then, it is New Zealand.- Yep.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03That was the other one, I know you were tossing up between them.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It is New Zealand. What a turn around for you, Alex,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08family honour restored there in the head-to-head for Alex,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10got to take that through to the final round, though,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13but you will be playing there for £13,000 today.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19The Bate family avenged there,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Alex getting through to the final round, that means
0:06:21 > 0:06:24the Eggheads are missing one brain so far from the final round.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Green Giants haven't lost a single brain from the final round,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31let's play our next round, then. Our next subject is Music.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Who wants to play this one? Can't be Alex.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- You're good at this, aren't you? - Dave, it's yours.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Dave, I think you've got a good one. - I don't mind giving it a go.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42You know some obscure stuff, I think you should go for it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Depends on the questions, doesn't it? - Who do you fancy taking on?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- That's a good question. Chris? - I would say Chris.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54OK, I'll follow my captain's lead and I'd like to take on Chris, please.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57OK, Dave wants to play the Music round from the Green Giants
0:06:57 > 0:07:00and he's challenging Chris from the Eggheads.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Will both of you go to the Question Room now, please?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Dave, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13All right, Dave, first question on Music is this.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Which of these features on the soundtrack of the 1971 film
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Well, Mr Tambourine Man's a Bob Dylan track,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I don't think The Music Man is probably it, so Candy Man would
0:07:30 > 0:07:33probably fit in with the movie, so I'd say The Candy Man.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Certainly would, wouldn't it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's the right answer, well done, Dave.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Chris, the term
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Neapolitan School is sometimes used to describe
0:07:41 > 0:07:45a group of composers active in Naples who were particularly
0:07:45 > 0:07:47associated with what type of music?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Well, I don't associate Naples with chamber music.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58There is Neapolitan folk music like Funiculi, Funicula.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02But I think the Neapolitan School were actually concerned with
0:08:02 > 0:08:06opera which is more or less an Italian art form. Opera.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It is opera, yes, you're right, Chris.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10OK, Dave.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Which of these ABBA songs was a 1976 UK number one single?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Looking at those, I know sort of Thank You For The Music
0:08:23 > 0:08:25and Fernando were both a couple of famous ones there,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27so I'm toying up between those two.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Erm...
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I'll have to take a punt at Fernando.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Good punt, it's the right answer. - Yes! Come on, Dave.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38OK, Chris.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Under what name did the Swedish DJ Tim Bergling
0:08:42 > 0:08:46top the UK singles chart in 2013 with the track Wake Me Up?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well, the only name there that rings any sort of bell at all
0:08:52 > 0:08:56is David Guetta, so that's what I'll have to go with.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Chris, it's not the right answer, it is Avicii.- Ha!
0:09:00 > 0:09:03OK, no, it's incorrect, not David Guetta
0:09:03 > 0:09:07so great opportunity for you, Dave, here.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Which of these is a movement in the Saint-Saens work
0:09:10 > 0:09:12The Carnival Of The Animals?
0:09:16 > 0:09:21This is going to be a real guess. Um, I'll have to go for the camel.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24OK, the camel, Saint-Saens, Carnival Of The Animals.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26No. First one wrong.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Do you know, Chris? - Yes, the elephant.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31It is the elephant, but it wasn't your question and you still need
0:09:31 > 0:09:35to get this if you are to continue quizzing in this round.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Chris, Marco Pirroni is best known as the lead guitarist
0:09:39 > 0:09:43for which group that had several hits in the 1980s?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Go West only had one hit I believe
0:09:51 > 0:09:54or am I confusing it with the song Go West?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Er, which was...
0:09:56 > 0:09:57I don't know.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Adam and the Ants, I don't think so. Thompson Twins.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Marx Brothers, 1940. Go West.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- OK, that's Marx Brothers film as well, is it?- Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12OK, Go West, Marx Brothers, 1940.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Well, you are...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16going to return to the Question Room for the final round,
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- it's the wrong answer.- Come on! - It is Adam And The Ants.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23So looking at the scores, Dave,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26you're through anyway in spite of your slip up on the third question.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Chris messed up two of them.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30So you're in the final round playing for the money today.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Well, the Green Giants towering over the Eggheads at the moment,
0:10:37 > 0:10:38no brains gone from their team.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Two Eggheads gone and barely a question got right, I think.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Eggheads, how many have you got right?- Two.- Out of six?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Two out of six.- Good performance, Eggheads.- Tremendous knowledge.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Who can beat you? - THEY LAUGH
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Our next subject is Food & Drink.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Can you knock another Egghead out?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Food & Drink. Who wants to play? Kush, Naveed or Max?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Um, from our prior discussions, I think it's going to have to be me.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04OK, and who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Dave and Chris, you've got rid of them so far.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- What about Judith, Pat or Kevin? - I think we're going to go with Kevin.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Kevin. Hmm, OK, you've done a bit of research, have you?- Little bit.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19OK, two K's, Kush and Kevin, into the Question Room, please.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Do you want to go first or second, Kush?- I think I'll go first.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Food & Drink, first question to Kush.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32When making fresh pasta, what ingredient is most typically
0:11:32 > 0:11:34included to give the pasta a green colour?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Erm, I don't think it's nettles.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I don't know how much seaweed is used in Italian cooking
0:11:44 > 0:11:47so I think I'm going to go for spinach.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49OK, spinach if you want it green, it's the right answer.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Well done, Kush, good start. Kevin.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The term locavore refers to someone
0:11:55 > 0:11:59who prefers to eat food originating where?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The logic there of course is local so I haven't heard,
0:12:05 > 0:12:06I don't think I've heard the term
0:12:06 > 0:12:09but I'm assuming it must mean nearby.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13It is, yes, nearby, locavore. OK, Kush.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16The cut of meat known as lamb shank comes from which part of the animal?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Erm, I don't think it's ribs.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I think I'm going to go towards leg
0:12:25 > 0:12:32because I don't think a lamb shank is part of that part of the body
0:12:32 > 0:12:34so I'll go with leg.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36OK, right, OK, whatever.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Lamb shank is from the leg, yes, it is, yeah. Right, Kevin.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45In Spain, what type of food is a fabada?
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- F-A-V-A-D-A.- B. Fabada. F-A-B-A-D-A.- Oh, a B, sorry.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Fabada, yeah, I'm just being careful because I mean,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01you hear fava or faba
0:13:01 > 0:13:04and you automatically think of beans.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06So given that I haven't heard of it, I think,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10if I went for one of the others, I'd really be kicking myself
0:13:10 > 0:13:12if it then turned out to be a bean stew so I'm going to have to take
0:13:12 > 0:13:17a chance on not falling into a trap and go for the bean stew.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Right, goodness me.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21You're like an experienced gambler assessing a...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Yeah, and probably getting it wrong. - ..handicapped race.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And you've got the right answer, bean stew.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Very careful bit of quizzing there from Kevin.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32OK, well, it's all square still.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34And Kush, in India,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38idlis are most commonly eaten as part of which meal?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I think my mum would kill me if I got this wrong.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I don't think it's lunch, I think it's a breakfast.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51OK, that's the correct answer.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53OK, which means Kevin needs to get this
0:13:53 > 0:13:55or he's going out as well.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Melomakarono are cookies from the cuisine of which country?
0:14:02 > 0:14:07That doesn't sound Spanish to me and whilst it could be from Morocco,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09it actually sounds Greek to me so I'm going Greece.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12It's all Greek to you and melomakarono are Greek,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16it's the right answer, it's all square, we go to Sudden Death.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20And we take away those choices now, Kush. Here's your question.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23A Greedy Man In A Hungry World is a 2013 book
0:14:23 > 0:14:26by which food writer and critic?
0:14:26 > 0:14:32Er, I'm not sure, um, about different food critic names,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I know one off the top of my head, so I'll try that.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Jay Rayner?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Jay Rayner.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41It's the right answer, well done.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46You know one food writer and critic and it happens to be Jay Rayner.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Well, excellent stuff, Kush.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Are the stars aligned? Means you've got to get this, Kevin.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56The Great Dictionary Of Cuisine, a combination of food encyclopaedia
0:14:56 > 0:14:58and cookbook, was a posthumously published work
0:14:58 > 0:15:02by which 19th-century French writer?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Well, there are several candidates.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Erm...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- I'll try Antoine Careme. - OK, Antoine Careme.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I just needed a 19th-century French writer.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Oh, a writer, oh, I'm sorry.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- You've given the answer. - Oh, it's Balzac probably, is it?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Well, no, I mean, we're taking Careme...- Sure, sure.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I know that, but it isn't Balzac either, it's Alexander Dumas.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Ah. Right, OK. - DERMOT LAUGHS
0:15:29 > 0:15:31See Kush only had one name in his head.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34See, you're an Egghead. You've got too many names in your head.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Kush wasn't cluttered there by excess information,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38just had the right answer.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Kush, that is a great result, you are through
0:15:40 > 0:15:43to the final round, the third Egghead in a row bites the dust
0:15:43 > 0:15:46and it's Kevin. It means you're playing for £13,000
0:15:46 > 0:15:49and your chances are winning it have just increased, I would suspect.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56As it stands, the Green Giants haven't lost a single brain
0:15:56 > 0:16:00from the final round and the Eggheads have lost three in a row.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Our next subject should be a good old battle, it's Arts & Books,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06round four, the last head-to-head
0:16:06 > 0:16:09and Naveed or Max to play this.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- All right, it'll be me.- OK.- And I'll take on, um... Who should I take on?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- What do you think?- I think you should go for Judith.- Take Pat!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I'm going to go for Pat, I'm overruling you, sorry.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Ooh, OK, overruling the captain
0:16:22 > 0:16:24and going for the jugular I heard you saying.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Well, let's have Naveed and Pat into the Question Room, please.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33OK, Naveed, let's get on with this, it's getting very serious, isn't it?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36A real chance here. Do you want to go first or second, Naveed?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Arts & Books.- I shall go first. It's been a good tactic so far.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Good luck and your first question.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46In the novel Wuthering Heights, which character repeatedly
0:16:46 > 0:16:50bangs his head against a tree when he learns of Cathy's death?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Not a big fan of Wuthering Heights, I've never read it
0:16:58 > 0:17:01or been compelled to. I think...
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Mr Darcy is from a Jane Austen novel.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Kate Bush informs me that Heathcliff is in Wuthering Heights
0:17:07 > 0:17:09so I shall choose that option.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Yes, using Kate Bush there to get the right answer, yes, Heathcliff.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Mr Rochester in Jane Eyre, of course.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- OK... - DERMOT LAUGHS
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Well done, Naveed. Doesn't matter how you get them.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Pat, which of these characters lives in a children's home
0:17:24 > 0:17:26she calls the dumping ground?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31I think...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35..that Jacqueline Wilson's Tracy Beaker,
0:17:35 > 0:17:42I think she lives in a slightly grim, um, home, um...
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I don't know anything about Mary Plain,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Nancy Drew is an American creation.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'll go for Tracy Beaker.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51OK, Tracy Beaker in the dumping ground, it's the right answer.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54You're both off to a good start, back to you, Naveed.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Tamara Rojo found fame as a leading name in which field?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Ooh.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I have no idea about the person
0:18:05 > 0:18:11and I'm not particularly well schooled in any of those subjects,
0:18:11 > 0:18:16so this will be a blind guess and I'm going to stab at ballet.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Good guess, it's the right answer.- Yes!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Yeah, you see, your guesses
0:18:21 > 0:18:24have been landed today, all of you going really well,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27luck staying with you. See if it deserts Pat.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Which English playwright wrote The Hothouse?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Hmm. Dear me.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I haven't heard of the play, I've heard of all three playwrights
0:18:41 > 0:18:43but I haven't heard of the play.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I'm reduced to a one in three guess, I think.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Doesn't ring a Pinter bell.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- I'll go for Ronald Harwood... - OK.- ..with great trepidation.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- It's Harold Pinter.- It's Pinter? Just hadn't heard of it.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Well, Naveed, get this,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00you're in the final round.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06Chance Wayne is a central character in which play by Tennessee Williams?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I've only heard of two of those plays being by Tennessee Williams,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17they might all be.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Streetcar and Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I don't think he's in A Streetcar Named Desire simply because...
0:19:25 > 0:19:28..it's quite a famous play and I haven't heard of him.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31So I'll go for Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33OK, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof,
0:19:33 > 0:19:37kind of describes Judith at the moment really.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It's not the right answer. It is Sweet Bird Of Youth.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49But Pat still needs to get this to take us into Sudden Death.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Pat, in the summer of 2013, a blue sculpture of what
0:19:52 > 0:19:56type of creature was placed on the fourth plinth at Trafalgar Square?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I think it's by a German sculptress.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I think it's a cockerel.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07It is the right answer, Pat, yes, a giant blue cockerel.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09You're back in the round.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13OK, still very much everything to play for, Naveed,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16we go for Sudden Death again. Here's your question.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18The actress Ellen Turin
0:20:18 > 0:20:22was the mistress of which English writer who died in 1870?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26So I'm searching my mind for English writers...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28who were Victorian.
0:20:28 > 0:20:34I believe Charles Dickens had an affair so I'm going to go for him.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36OK, Charles Dickens.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- It's the right answer, Naveed. - Yes!- Well done.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Pat, which author introduced the character Jackson Brody,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47a former police inspector turned private investigator,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51in her 2004 novel Case Histories?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I have heard her name, but it just hasn't sprung to mind.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Denise Mina's novels are very much Glasgow based
0:20:59 > 0:21:00so I think I'll discount her.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I don't think it's Val McDermid,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05she's Wire In The Blood and things like that.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I owe it to Judith to make the maximum effort to
0:21:09 > 0:21:13dig this woman's surname up, but a minute chance of being correct
0:21:13 > 0:21:15is better than a zero chance of being correct.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- I'll go for Val McDermid, but I think I'm wrong.- Val McDermid.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- What do you think, Eggheads? - Think it might be Kate Atkinson.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24It's not the right answer, Pat, it's Kate Atkinson.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25ALL: Yes!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Oh, lordy.- Oh, Judith, prepare yourself.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Prepare yourself, Naveed, you're playing for £13,000
0:21:31 > 0:21:34along with the entirety of your team today.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Well, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44it's time for the final round in which whatever happens
0:21:44 > 0:21:48it's going to be one to savour and as usual, it's General Knowledge
0:21:48 > 0:21:50but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:50 > 0:21:52should only look this way.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55You won't be allowed to take part in this round so Chris, Pat, Dave
0:21:55 > 0:21:59and Kevin from the Eggheads, would you all leave the studio, please?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Kush, Alex, Dave, Naveed and Max,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06you're playing to win the Green Giants £13,000.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Judith, you're playing for something which money can't buy -
0:22:10 > 0:22:13the Eggheads' rather endangered reputation.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15And as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18This time, this questions are all General Knowledge
0:22:18 > 0:22:21and you are allowed to confer. So, Green Giants, the question is,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25are your five brains better than the Eggheads' one?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27And Green Giants, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I think we'll stick to the winning formula, let's go first, Dermot.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Go for the money, Green Giants, what a shot you've got at it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39First question, how many categories of question were there
0:22:39 > 0:22:43in the original version of the board game Trivial Pursuit?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49If you're making a pie, it's sort of three and three.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- That's the only way it could fit. - I think it's six.- I would say six.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Yeah?- I'm happy with that.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Think we'll go with six.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01OK, six. It is the right answer, six is correct. One on the board.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Judith...
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Gateleg is a variety of which of these items of furniture?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11That is a table.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16It is a table, yes, well done. OK, eased both sides in there, I think.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22And Green Giants, what type of creature is a megrim? M-E-G-R-I-M.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29I don't know this. Anyone have any ideas?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- No.- I've never heard of it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Guess I'd say it sounds like a shrimp which is underwater.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Could be some kind of species of horse.- Really?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I don't think it is a horse.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Statistics would say fish.- Go fish? - Gamble on fish?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Let's go for fish.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48We'll go for fish.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52OK, a megrim you think is a form of fish. Some type of fish.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54It's the right answer.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Every time you've had to guess or go for a bit of a gamble,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00you have landed them. Is your luck going to hold out?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02OK, Judith, you're got to match that, then.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06London Gateway is a service station on which motorway?
0:24:11 > 0:24:12London Gateway.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I don't think it's the M4, because I know the M4 quite well.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I don't see why it should be the M6,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22because the M6 is up in the north on the west side.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26On the other hand, I can't think of it on the M1 near London.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I think I've got to go for the M1, because that's the one
0:24:29 > 0:24:31that goes into London.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Yeah, that's my answer. - M1.- M1.- M1.- Please.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Well, you eliminated, you're right, the M6.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40It's called London Gateway, you know the M4, it's not there,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43it is the M1, it's the right answer, well done, Judith. Well worked out.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46OK, well, Judith putting up a real fight there.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51The Green Giants still landing those guesses, informed guesses of course.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55OK, will you win the money on this question?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57What was the real first name of Duckface,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01the character played by Anna Chancellor in the 1994 film
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Four Weddings And A Funeral?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I've never actually seen Four Weddings And A Funeral.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10- Neither have I.- I have.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16Unfortunately this might rely on me. I don't think it's Simone.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Can you picture it? Can you seen Duckface?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Do you know who it is?
0:25:19 > 0:25:23I can picture the face, but I can't put the name to it.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26But if I think I'm going to guess, I think I would say Georgina, Max.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Well... - Is everyone all right with that?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31We don't have anything else, do we? Go for it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33We're going to go for Georgina.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34OK, Georgina.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Duckface memorably played by Anna Chancellor in
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Four Weddings And A Funeral,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Kush is the only one of the five who's seen it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44And it's Henrietta.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Misremembered. Henrietta.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Every guess, every inkling has been landed so far.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Judith, I'm not going to underline how important this is.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00What type of creatures were Hullabaloo and Custard,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02the launch mascots of BBC Two?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10If you're going to have mascots for a channel, broadcasting,
0:26:10 > 0:26:15I think you'll be more likely to go for parrots, to be honest.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16I don't know.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- So I'm going to go for parrots. - OK, parrots.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Hullabaloo and Custard were...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- ..kangaroos.- Oh, no!
0:26:26 > 0:26:29They can't be kangaroos.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Judith's chance to save the Eggheads didn't happen.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Why on earth are they kangaroos?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Well, you live to fight on,
0:26:36 > 0:26:37fighting for that £13,000.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40It's Sudden Death of course. Your question, Green Giants.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45In British history, who ascended the throne on the death of Queen Anne?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I think it's George I, because she didn't have kids.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I think I'm relying on you guys for this one.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- I think it is George I. - It's worth a stab.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Queen Anne was there when the UK was made,
0:26:55 > 0:27:00the Union was made in 1707 and George I came after that.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- That sounds good, then. - Go with that logic.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- I'm happy with that, it's the best. - Go with it, Max.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08We'll go for George I.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12George I you think ascended the throne on the death of Queen Anne.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13What do you think, Judith?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Yeah, it's right. - They're right.- Bother!
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Yep, George I.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21OK, right, you're heading
0:27:21 > 0:27:25in the right direction again, which means Judith has to get this one.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30Judith, "You had me at hello", is a famous line from which 1990s film?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I could sit here all night and not been able to think.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- I think Sleepless In Seattle. - Sleepless In Seattle.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43"You had me at hello", is a line from...
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Jerry Maguire.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- ALL: Yes! - Green Giants, you've won the money!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Well, I said it was going to be extraordinary, didn't I?
0:27:55 > 0:27:56And it certainly has been.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00In the previous occasions when the Eggheads have been whittled
0:28:00 > 0:28:05down to one, it happened seven times before this, they won six of them.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- So well done, guys. How does that feel?- Really good!
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Stunned.- It was surprising!
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Well done, Green Giants,
0:28:12 > 0:28:16our congratulations to you, you've just won that £13,000,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20making you officially cleverer than the Eggheads
