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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 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 > 0:00:35And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Old Bristolians.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41This team met through playing rugby together at the same club,
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Old Bristolians RFC.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45And were named Rugby World magazine's
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Team Of The Year in 2012, for raising in excess - get this -
0:00:49 > 0:00:52£200,000 for charity in the preceding five years.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, my name is Rob. I'm 26 and I'm a bank manager.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Jonathan. I'm 33 and I'm a law tutor.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Tom. I'm 28 and I'm a veterinary surgeon.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, James. I'm 24 and I'm a paralegal.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Keir. I'm 27 and I'm a chartered surveyor.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Welcome, Old Bristolians. We heard the Eggheads clapping there.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Congratulations on that mighty charity effort.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19How did you raise that amount of money?
0:01:19 > 0:01:24A couple of us rowed the Channel. We raised £20,000 doing that.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28A lot of it is for an old member of the club called Robbie,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30who passed away, so we did it for CLIC Sargent.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Great stuff! More power to you on that.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And on the quizzing front, a little bird tells me
0:01:37 > 0:01:40that your preparation for playing the Eggheads, you arranged to go
0:01:40 > 0:01:43to a pub quiz and when you arrived you found it wasn't on.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Yeah, we...
0:01:45 > 0:01:48We made a bet to turn up to the pub quiz,
0:01:48 > 0:01:49and when we got there it wasn't on,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53and so I had to do a forfeit as a result.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57You arrive at the pub quiz, which is a pub, and there's no quiz there,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00but there's something else they sell in a pub. Remind me what it is.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Er, mostly a shot-based beverage.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Yes, I see. That was your forfeit.- Yeah.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10OK, best of luck, Old Bristolians playing the Eggheads today.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Let me tell you what's been going on.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Every day, there is £1,000 cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17However, if they fail to beat the Eggheads,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Old Bristolians, the Eggheads won the last three games.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25That means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Let's play our first head-to-head,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30our first attempt to get one of those Eggheads knocked out.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33It's a History round. Who'd like to play this?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- That'll be me.- I think Jon.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Jonathan for that one.- OK.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Who do you reckon, boss?- You've got no chance against any of them.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Judith, then, please.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53OK, Jonathan and Judith into the Question Room, please,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55for our opening round.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Jonathan, I hear you once sailed the Atlantic.- I certainly did, yes.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02About ten years ago.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- What was it like, the crossing? - Fantastic. Best thing I've ever done.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- Want to do it again? - Oh, at the drop of a hat.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Did you have any difficulties to overcome?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Not difficulties. We spotted a bit of wildlife.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18We saw a whale whilst we were sat eating meatballs and pasta
0:03:18 > 0:03:19one day in the middle of the Atlantic.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- As you do!- But besides that, no real difficulties.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26We went swimming in the middle of the Atlantic as well
0:03:26 > 0:03:29when it was absolutely flat calm, which was quite an experience.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- But it was fantastic. - Great experience.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I hope this turns out to be a good experience.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Playing Judith at History.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37You're the Challenger, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'll go first, please.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Jonathan, the first question is this - in the Roman Empire,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47what were the Latrinae?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50L-A-T-R-I-N-A-E.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Toilets.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- HE CHUCKLES - Yes, they were.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Toilets is the right answer.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02OK, your first question, Judith.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Which historical figure was known as Lucky Lindy?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Well, Jenny Lind was a singer. I don't see why she should be lucky.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18And Lyndon B Johnson became the president...
0:04:18 > 0:04:24Not through luck. So I imagine it must be Charles Lindbergh.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Charles Lindbergh. OK, Lucky Lindy. It is the right answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Well done, Judith.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Charles Lindbergh, Lucky Lindy.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Jonathan, second question.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Which phrase is used to refer to the political
0:04:36 > 0:04:39and social system in France before the French Revolution?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Well, Avant-Garde and Art Nouveau I've heard of,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51but not in relation to politics,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54so I'm going to go for Ancien Regime.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57It is the right answer. Well done.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Two to you.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04Judith, the politician and soldier, Enver Pasha, who died in 1922,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07is an important figure in the history of which country?
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Well, Pasha makes me think of Turkey. So Turkey.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Turkey is correct, Judith. You have it there.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Jonathan, here's your third.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Which Native American leader was killed in 1890 by a police sergeant
0:05:24 > 0:05:27called Red Tomahawk?
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Oh...
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Sitting Bull, didn't he end up with Wild Bill's something or other?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Geronimo, I feel... died somewhere else more famous.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45So I'm going to go for Crazy Horse.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50OK, Crazy Horse, killed by Red Tomahawk in 1890.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54It's not Crazy Horse. Does anyone know from the Egghead side?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Geronimo.- No, not Geronimo, Judith. So that rather narrows it down!
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Sitting Bull. Some of the other Eggheads were already saying that.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05OK. That was the end of Sitting Bull.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08You didn't get that, Jonathan, so a chance for Judith to win the round.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Judith, Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford's first college for women,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14was named after which historical figure?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Well, take your pick!
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I don't know... I think I'm going to say Margaret Beaufort.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Margaret Beaufort.- Hm.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Margaret Beaufort is the right answer.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33You are through to the final round.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Bad luck, Jonathan, you're not in the final round.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39You got that third question wrong. Judith got all three of hers,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42which books her a place in the final round.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Would you please both come back and join your teams?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Good effort by Jonathan, but just outgunned by Judith,
0:06:48 > 0:06:53which means the Old Bristolians have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57No damage to the Eggheads yet. Second round is Music, guys.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Who'd like to play this?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- That's you, Captain Rob. - Yeah, I'll take that one, please.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Can't be Judith.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- CJ, please.- OK, Rob and CJ, into the Question Room, please.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Look how delighted CJ looks! Into the Question Room, please.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Rob, you've got a twin brother who might be better qualified
0:07:18 > 0:07:19to play this round!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- I'd quite like to swap right now, if that's all right.- What does he do?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26He's a professional musician, tours all around the world, so...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28if we could get him instead that would be lovely.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30What are your tastes in music?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Lots of rock, metal, loads of different things.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Tell me about your rugby prowess. You won a big competition.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Individually.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41It was a kicking competition in Manchester city centre.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45If you got a kick through the specific hole, then you won
0:07:45 > 0:07:48tickets for an international game, which was England/New Zealand.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49That's not bad, is it?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Let's see if you can boot CJ out of this round.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go second, please.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02CJ starts.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07CJ, which puppet character had a chart hit with a song beginning
0:08:07 > 0:08:10"I wish I could fly right up to the sky but I can't"?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I've met Roland Rat. He was very nice to me.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18But I think it's Orville the Duck.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I can't believe we are discussing Otis the Aardvark,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Orville the Duck and Roland Rat.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28We've got impersonators of all three of those on the Egghead side.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I won't name names. It is Orville the Duck, yes.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Well done, CJ.
0:08:34 > 0:08:40Rob, which Spice Girl featured on Matt Cardle's single, Loving You,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43released in August 2013?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I think Posh Spice was busy doing other things by then,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52so it's one of the other two.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I'm going to go for...
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Melanie C.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01OK, bit of doubt there.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04It's the right answer, though, Rob. Well done. Got your first one.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Very important if you put an Egghead in and they've already scored,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09but done it, OK.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13CJ, the 2009 UK Eurovision entry It's My Time
0:09:13 > 0:09:15was sung by which artist?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- You're not good at Eurovision, are you?- No idea!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I've never watched Eurovision in my life.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Which artist?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Yeah.- That's singular, and Gemini were a duo,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37so presumably it's not Gemini.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I'm afraid I don't know this.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I will guess at Jade Ewen.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44OK, Jade Ewen.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I think the brilliant thing you did there, which seems obvious,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49is listen very carefully to the question,
0:09:49 > 0:09:53and you turned what would be a one-in-three guess into a 50-50.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56And you got the right answer. Jade Ewen. Well done, CJ.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59OK, your second question, Rob.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Which British band founded the record label Gentleman Of The Road?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I'm pretty sure it's not The xx.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16And for some reason I think it's Sussex-based...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I'm not sure why.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21But I'm going to go for...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Mumford & Sons. - Mumford & Sons.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I like the way you lower your voice just to sneak it out,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29in case it might be wrong.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Yeah.- It's the right answer. Mumford & Sons. Well done.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Playing under pressure there with those first two questions
0:10:35 > 0:10:37you faced because CJ keeps getting them right.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40If he slips up here, though, you'll be in a very different position
0:10:40 > 0:10:42when you face your question, Rob.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46CJ, in 1898, George Bernard Shaw published a famous essay
0:10:46 > 0:10:48on which piece of music?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Playing free and easy with the word "famous", aren't you?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Just going on the date,
0:10:59 > 0:11:03by far the most recent to the date would be the Ring cycle.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06The Four Seasons was hundreds of years before
0:11:06 > 0:11:11and Beethoven's work would have been at least half a century before that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:1470 years or so.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17So I suppose it could have been either of those two
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- but, simply going by the dates, I'll try Wagner's Ring Cycle.- OK.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22The old quizzer's skills there again!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Doesn't know the answer outright,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26so attacks it from difference angles.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And you got it right again, CJ. Wagner's Ring Cycle.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Chris, you love your Wagner. Do you know what the essay was called?
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- It was just called On Wagner. - Any idea what approach he took?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Yeah, he was a rabid Wagner enthusiast.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43He was actually caricatured as a complete Wagnerite in Punch.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I see!
0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK, well, he did get it there, Rob.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50He got the third one again, so another pressure question for you.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52You dealt with the first two very well.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Let's hope you get this and take us into Sudden Death.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Which musician composed the jazz classic,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Scrapple From The Apple, in 1947?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08My brother is a big jazz fan, so he'd know the answer to this.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10And I've got no idea.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I'm looking at Dizzy Gillespie or Thelonious Monk...
0:12:16 > 0:12:17I don't know why.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22They've both got funny names and the thing is a funny name.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25I'm going to go for...
0:12:28 > 0:12:29..Dizzy Gillespie.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Dizzy Gillespie, with his Scrapple From The Apple, you think.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34It's wrong.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Charlie Parker. Not the right answer and no chance for a reprieve.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42CJ has already got three right.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Which means you will be in the final round, CJ. Rob, you won't be.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Please come back and join your teams.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Another good round there,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52but once again the wrong result for the Old Bristolians.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54They have lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56The Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Plenty of time, though, to change the situation.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Our next subject is Arts & Books.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Who'd like to play this? We've been going down the line with you.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08We've got Tom, James or Keir.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- Off you go.- All right. Well, James, who would you like to play?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17You've got a choice of Kevin, Barry or Chris.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Well, given that my knowledge of arts and books is fairly non-existent,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23it's not going to make much difference, I don't think.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- Think positive!- I'll take on Chris.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29OK, it's going to be James and Chris playing Arts & Books.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Into the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35James, as we saw during the selection process,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38you're really keen on arts and books.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43I love art and books and I'm really looking forward to this round(!)
0:13:43 > 0:13:45That's it, positive! Let's carry that into the answers.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Do you want to go first or second? - I'm going to go first.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56James, first question. "Second to the right
0:13:56 > 0:13:57"and straight on till morning"
0:13:57 > 0:14:00is the way to get to which fictional place?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Well, the only one I've heard of is Neverland.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11So that's going to have to be my answer,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Neverland.- OK, yeah... It's, um...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17the right answer, yeah! Peter Pan and all that.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23OK, Chris, Jo's Boys is a sequel to which classic novel?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30That's the sequel to Little Women, Dermot.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Little Women is the correct answer, Chris.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Good start, James.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Second question - which television presenter wrote the 2013 novel
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Someday I'll Find You?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Well, it certainly doesn't sound like a Titchmarsh gardening-based novel,
0:14:50 > 0:14:56so that narrows it down to one from two. Is Parky still writing books?
0:14:56 > 0:14:57He's a bit old now, isn't he?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- I'm going to go with Richard Madeley.- OK, Richard Madeley.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02I'm just going to tell you, James,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04there were gasps when you ruled out Alan Titchmarsh
0:15:04 > 0:15:08because he has been of course a prolific novelist, hasn't he?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10But you ruled him out and thought that Parky wouldn't do that
0:15:10 > 0:15:12kind of thing and came up with Richard Madeley.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Which is the right answer. - Never heard of that!
0:15:16 > 0:15:17I tell you, I tell you,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20if that had been in the final round that you'd been discussing that,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22your team-mates would have overruled you but you got it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Well done, you have two.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Bet you never imagined you'd get that many.- Absolutely.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Well, keep this up and you just might win the round.
0:15:29 > 0:15:36OK, Chris, Self Portrait At The Age Of 34 painted in 1640 and now
0:15:36 > 0:15:38in the collection of London's National Gallery...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40is a work by which artist?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Yeah, he did a long series of self portraits throughout his life
0:15:45 > 0:15:46and it's Rembrandt.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Have you ever thought of posing for any recreations of that, Chris?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53There is a painting hanging in the study of the
0:15:53 > 0:15:55late great Magnus Magnusson of various
0:15:55 > 0:15:57members of the Mastermind Club which does include me.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58- Yeah.- Very good.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Rembrandt is the right answer on this one. OK. It's all square.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Everything to play for, James. A chance here.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Which 20th-century artist produced paintings called
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Europe After The Rain?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Now, I know on the coach to matches you discuss this kind of thing
0:16:19 > 0:16:20an awful lot.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Well, obviously, we are extremely cultural as a side so,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I'll be in...it'll be a bit of a shocker if I don't get this right.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28THEY LAUGH
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Um...once again, unsurprisingly,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I've not heard of any of the three of them.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Didn't you play against them when you were on tour?
0:16:37 > 0:16:42More than likely. I really don't pay attention to names that much.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46I don't even know the names of my own team-mates, half of them.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Erm, I'm going to have to...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I can't even logically try and deduce this
0:16:51 > 0:16:53so I'm just going to have to just take a stab
0:16:53 > 0:16:56and it going to be in the middle and it's going to be Max Ernst.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58OK, so imagining that's a front row, you're going
0:16:58 > 0:17:00for the hooker there, are you?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- I am.- You've got the right answer. Max Ernst.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Well, you've done really well
0:17:07 > 0:17:10and you've got three out of three which I think has
0:17:10 > 0:17:14surpassed your own expectations and certainly your team-mates there.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Three out of three and a chance to make it into the final round.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Chris trying to prevent it.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Chris, who wrote the poem, Astraea Redux which celebrated
0:17:24 > 0:17:26the restoration of Charles II?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34It's a bit late, for Milton... who was a Cromwellian anyway and
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I don't think would have celebrated the restoration of Charles II.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Toss-up between Vanbrugh and Dryden.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Vanbrugh. I'll go with Vanbrugh.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45- John Vanbrugh.- OK, Vanbrugh.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I often wonder about you, Eggheads,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49these are the kind of things I puzzle about.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51If you'd been around then, Chris, would you have been
0:17:51 > 0:17:53a Roundhead or a Cavalier?
0:17:53 > 0:17:58I think I'd have been a Roundhead with sneaking Cavalier sympathies.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Interesting. Well, the Civil War was that complex, wasn't it?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05There were plenty of people who swapped sides.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09OK. Well, you're wrong. It's John Dryden. Not John Vanbrugh.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12APPLAUSE
0:18:12 > 0:18:13You're all welcome, all right?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I can't believe it.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I mean, you just didn't want to play this round
0:18:19 > 0:18:21you were forced to play the round, weren't you?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25I was absolutely forced against my will to play this round. But...
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- it would be nice to be in the final. - And look who you've just beaten.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Chris, a legend at quizzing.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31You are in the final round
0:18:31 > 0:18:33and the first one to win through the head-to-heads,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40What a sensation that was. What a performance, James.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45- Thanks for putting me forward, guys. - Well volunteered, mate.- Well done.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Well played. So, as it stands, the Old Bristolians
0:18:47 > 0:18:48have lost those two brains from
0:18:48 > 0:18:52the final round but they've lost one Egghead too, over there.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55So, our next subject, last one before the final round, it's Sport.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Obviously you're keen to play this but we've only got Tom or Keir left.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Go on, Tom.- I'll do it, yeah. Don't know.- Good confidence.- I'll do it.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06OK, Tom, I'll just tell you who's left from the Eggheads.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Well, you can see for yourself. Kevin or Barry.- Nuts.- Do fives.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Take Bazzer.- We'll take Barry.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15OK, it's "Bazzer" and Tom playing Sport.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Into the Question Room, please.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22OK, Tom, Sport round... and we know about the rugby...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24and you were one of the rowers across the Channel as well,
0:19:24 > 0:19:25weren't you?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- I was indeed, yeah. - How much did you raise from that?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- We raised around about 23 grand in total, I think.- Great stuff.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Well, congratulations on that.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I hope I'm congratulating you at the end of this round as well.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- I hope so too.- Would you like to go first or second?- Let's go first.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44OK, good luck, Tom. First question is this.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49In which of these sports is an attacking player known as a spiker?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54OK. I've played a bit of table tennis.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I don't think we've got anyone called a spiker in that game.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02I'm pretty sure it's the big guy upfront in volleyball.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Yeah, well, the set-up, the spike, it's the right answer,
0:20:05 > 0:20:06yes, well done. Volleyball.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10OK, Barry. Which of these is a popular alternative name
0:20:10 > 0:20:12for Aorangi Terrace?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18A-O-R-A-N-G-I.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Well, surprisingly, given its name,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Aorangi Terrace, this is one of the terraces at Wimbledon.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- So, I guess it must be Henman Hill. - It is Henman Hill. Yeah.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It's going to become Murray Mound.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It certainly should become Murray Mound.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Henman Hill identified there by Barry. It's 1-1.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Back to you, Tom.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39The Cosworth company is best known for providing what
0:20:39 > 0:20:41to Formula One teams?
0:20:43 > 0:20:48OK. I have heard of them and I think I've heard of them in relation to,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52erm, certain road-going cars which have a bit of an updated engine
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- so I'm going to go for engines, I think.- OK, engines, yeah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58OK, and it is engines. Well identified, Tom.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Two to you. Barry's second question.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Which city hosted the 2002 Commonwealth Games?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Er... Now... Let me think.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Yes, I'm sure they've been held in Cardiff and Manchester.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I'm not too certain if they've been held in Birmingham.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I think the 2002 were held in...
0:21:19 > 0:21:24- I think it was Manchester so I'll go for Manchester.- Manchester.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's the right answer, Barry. You've worked it out. You got that.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32OK, it's all square and back to Tom for number three.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35The football governing body CONCACAF
0:21:35 > 0:21:37has its headquarters in which of these cities?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44OK... I have heard of them.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Just struggling to think of what continent they were involved with.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I've not actually heard of Managua
0:21:53 > 0:22:00but I've got a feeling it's potentially South American, CONCACAF.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Miami and Montreal aren't in that region
0:22:03 > 0:22:08- so, I'm going to go for Managua. - OK, Managua for CONCACAF.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12It's not correct, Tom. Do you know of the other two, Barry?
0:22:12 > 0:22:13- It's obviously a lot easier...- No.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I thought they were Central American, so I would have gone for Managua.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Yeah, I'm with you and Tom on that
0:22:19 > 0:22:21but I can tell you it's not the right answer.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Managua was actually a very good guess there
0:22:23 > 0:22:26but it's in with the United States, they're in Miami. Bad luck, Tom.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30So, it does mean that Barry has a chance to win the round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34The Lillie Langtry Stakes is a horse race run at which course?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Well, Lillie Langtry was one of the mistresses of Edward VII
0:22:42 > 0:22:45and that tends to suggest a royal sort of connection
0:22:45 > 0:22:49and the only racecourse there that has some sort of royal connection
0:22:49 > 0:22:51is Goodwood so I shall go for Goodwood.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54It's a bit like CJ doing that, bringing all this extra
0:22:54 > 0:22:58information to bear. Don't know it outright but you've got it, Barry.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Goodwood for the Lillie Langtry Stakes.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04It is the right answer, Barry. Bad luck, Tom. Good quizzing there,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06just that third question that sorted out a winner.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09No place for you in the final round, though, would you both please come
0:23:09 > 0:23:11back and join your teams?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14OK. Well, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17It's time for the final round which as always is General Knowledge.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19But I'm afraid those of you who lost those head-to-heads won't be
0:23:19 > 0:23:22allowed to take part in this round. So, Rob, Jonathan and Tom
0:23:22 > 0:23:25from the Old Bristolians and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28time for you all to leave the studio, please.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30So then, James and Keir,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34you're playing to win the Old Bristolians £4,000.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Kevin, CJ, Barry and Judith, you're playing for something
0:23:37 > 0:23:40which money cannot buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43And as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Anything can come up and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51So, Old Bristolians, are your two brains better than
0:23:51 > 0:23:53the Eggheads' four?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55And James and Keir, what do you want to do in this round?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Go first or second?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- What do you think? Go first?- Yeah. - We'll go first, please.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06OK. Kicking off for the Old Bristolians.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08First question, then, final round.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13In 2013, 22-year-old Lindsey Russell won a talent
0:24:13 > 0:24:16competition to become a presenter of which television programme?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22My brother's ex-girlfriend actually
0:24:22 > 0:24:23auditioned for the Blue Peter
0:24:23 > 0:24:25thing, so I think there was
0:24:25 > 0:24:26some sort of contest for it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- It's the sort of thing Blue Peter would do, isn't it?- It is, isn't it?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- You couldn't really imagine them subbing in for Paxman, could you?- No.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35We'll go with Blue Peter.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- OK. Not Newsnight?- BOTH: No.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Paxman's fairly defensive,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40isn't he, about that sort of stuff?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43It is Blue Peter, it's the right answer. Well done, guys.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44You've one on the board.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Eggheads, Border collies are traditionally used
0:24:47 > 0:24:48in which activity?
0:24:52 > 0:24:53- Who's spokesman?- Me, me.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Shall we go for herding sheep?- Go on.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Yeah, I think we'd better.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59We think they're probably
0:24:59 > 0:25:00used in herding sheep.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03OK, we could do with one here to herd you a lot, actually.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Herding sheep, yes, Border collies. It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10And James and Keir, your second question.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13The Dorchester Hotel in London is on which thoroughfare?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Is it Park Lane, Piccadilly or Pall Mall?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I don't know, but Park Lane
0:25:18 > 0:25:19- is the one that's sort of...- It is.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21..flashing alarm bells at me
0:25:21 > 0:25:22for some reason.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Is it...is it by Hyde Park?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25It's somewhere around there.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26I think Park Lane.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- Yeah.- We'll say Park Lane.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29You're going to say Park Lane?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33One of the posh hotels on Park Lane, you think? You're right.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36You've got it. Two to you. Eggheads.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Who played the newspaper columnist JJ Hunsecker
0:25:39 > 0:25:44in the 1957 film Sweet Smell Of Success?
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Yeah, he was a very nasty
0:25:50 > 0:25:52gossip columnist at the time.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Burt Lancaster.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Burt Lancaster is JJ Hunsecker.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00It's the right answer, Eggheads. 2-2. Third question.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Going well, guys. Just keep it up, we hope.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Thor's hero, discovered in the Democratic Republic Of Congo
0:26:07 > 0:26:09is a species of which creature?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Well, macaque's a name for being from Japan.- Are they?- Yeah.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Fair enough.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Maybe it's like an ironic name or something,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22an ant with exceptional strength.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Well, ants are named for being extraordinarily strong
0:26:24 > 0:26:26compared to their body weight, aren't they?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's too good a name for a shrew, I think, isn't it?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Yeah, I think that.- Shall we say ant? - Let's go with ant.- We'll say ant.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Ant, Thor's hero discovered in the Democratic Republic Of Congo.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43- Is not an ant. No. Do you know, Eggheads? Shrew or macaque?- No.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44- No.- Sorry.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Guess?- Macaque?- Macaque.- Shrew.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49OK, so you didn't know
0:26:49 > 0:26:53and they couldn't even get it out of two. It's a shrew anyway.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57A type of shrew. OK, Eggheads, a chance to clinch it.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Selworthy Beacon is a hill in which national park?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Well, beacons are very much in Dartmoor and Exmoor.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Yeah, I think it's Exmoor rather than Dartmoor.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- It's good enough for me. Good enough for me.- I'm not, I'm not certain.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Well, I'll trust you.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16As always, your slight instincts
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I'll take over my certainties.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19I'm pretty certain it's not
0:27:19 > 0:27:21in the North York Moors, so...
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Yeah, OK. Er, I think,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27not certain, but think it's Exmoor.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Exmoor for Selworthy Beacon...
0:27:31 > 0:27:33It is correct, Eggheads. You've won.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Just the one in it there. Bad luck guys.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Well played in the final round
0:27:42 > 0:27:46and, of course, I think you're all buying the beers for James
0:27:46 > 0:27:49after his head-to-head performance against big Chris there.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52That was a mighty performance and we want to congratulate you taking
0:27:52 > 0:27:56on the Eggheads today but most of all on your sterling charity work.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57So great to hear what you're doing
0:27:57 > 0:28:00and that huge amount of money you've been raising for charity.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05with the rugby as well. Really nice to meet you guys, Thank you so much.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £4,000.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15And that means the money rolls over to our next show

0:28:17 > 0:28:20if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
