0:00:04 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome 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 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36And taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:38are the Rising, from Alloa.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40This team are all associated with the same
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Bruce Springsteen tribute band.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Steven, I'm 48, and I have my own decorating company.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Douglas, I'm 47, and a sales director.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Irene, I'm 44, and I lecture in psychology.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Harry, I'm 51, and I'm a ground worker.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Mike, I'm 56, and an operations manager.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Welcome to you, the Rising. So, a Bruce Springsteen tribute band.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I'm just trying to work out which one is Bruce.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's got to be you, Harry.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Wrong.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- No, not quite. I take it it's you, Steven.- It is, yes.- OK.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And, I mean, all fans of Bruce Springsteen?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Or does it just kind of work out?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I suppose you've got to be a fan as well, haven't you?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Yes, we all are fans and we are, some of us, related.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- We've all played in bands and known each other a long time.- Mm-hmm.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32I bet you get a lot of bookings, though.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35He's enormously popular, isn't he? And I hear you're very good.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Well, thank you very much.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Can I be your agent?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Yes, please.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Yes, we get bookings. There's a lot of Springsteen fans out there.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46He's very much in vogue.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Absolutely. Should we play the game, then?- Yes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Hoping that music round, I'm sure if it comes up, let's see.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Now, every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:54 > 0:01:56for our Challengers.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money,
0:01:59 > 0:02:00of course, rolls over to the next show.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03So, the Rising, the Challengers actually won the last game
0:02:03 > 0:02:04proving it can be done,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08but it means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Our first head-to-head battle will be... Let's have a look...
0:02:10 > 0:02:14on the subject of Music. Yes, we kick off with Music.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16So I suppose it's between the five of you
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- to sort out who's going to play. - I'll take Music.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21OK, great, Irene. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Any one of them.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25What do we think? What do we think?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Douglas, you're the strategist.- CJ?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- OK, I'll go for CJ.- All right.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Irene and CJ to start the game.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Into the Question Room, please,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38both of you, to make sure you can't confer.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43OK, Irene, I won't ask you about your musical taste.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Well, I mean, beyond Springsteen, what do you like?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50I like quite a lot of music, actually. Current music.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I like Pink and Amy Winehouse.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I also cover a bit of Amy Winehouse in another band
0:02:58 > 0:03:01that we play in as well, so it's not all Springsteen.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02And you've got a lot going on
0:03:02 > 0:03:04because you're also a psychology lecturer.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09I do, yes. I lecture in psychology and some sociology as well.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12OK, right, well, bring your psychology to bear on CJ.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Try to psych him out...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16..by telling us, first of all,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18whether you'd like to go first or second.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19I think I'll go first, please.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24OK, Irene, trying to put the pressure on the Egghead.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Right, first question. Which musical term refers to singing
0:03:28 > 0:03:30without any instrumental accompaniment?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Yep, I can see that the answer is A cappella.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Do you do any of that? - It has been known.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46We won't ask you now. It's the right answer, of course. Well done, Irene.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Good start.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51CJ, brothers Martin and Gary Kemp
0:03:51 > 0:03:53found fame as members of which pop group?
0:03:57 > 0:04:02I believe they were two of the five in Spandau Ballet.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Spandau Ballet, yes, of course. One all.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Irene, Murder On The Dance Floor was a UK number two single
0:04:08 > 0:04:11in 2001 for which female singer?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Well, I have sung the song on more than one occasion
0:04:19 > 0:04:22and I'm pretty sure it's Sophie Ellis Bextor.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Sophie Ellis Bextor is correct, yes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31CJ, in the lyrics of the patriotic song Land Of Hope And Glory,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35which of these follows the first "land of hope and glory"?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Mother of the free.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Not "bringer of the glee"? - It's a lovely idea, but no.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Yeah, "mother of the free" is correct, CJ.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51You're both going really, really well.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55It's two-all and we've reached the third question already.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01Irene, the composer, Joseph Haydn, died in which city in 1809?
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Haydn...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I'm really not very sure on this one at all.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I don't think it's Paris.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'm going to go down the middle and say Zurich.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18OK, Zurich for Joseph Haydn...
0:05:18 > 0:05:20his demise.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It's the first one wrong.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's not that. CJ, the other two?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I don't know, but I would have gone for Vienna.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28It was Vienna we were looking for.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30A glimmer of hope, then, for CJ.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34He will take the round with a correct answer here.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38CJ, in 2007, I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
0:05:38 > 0:05:41became a UK number one single for The Proclaimers,
0:05:41 > 0:05:46featuring Brian Potter and which other comedy character?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Now, was this the...
0:05:55 > 0:05:59..either Comic Relief or Children In Need version?
0:06:01 > 0:06:06If so, I don't actually know who Smithy is, I'm afraid.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It's not David Brent. I seem to recall...
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Oh, of course, yes, cos Potter's in a wheelchair, isn't he?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And so is Pipkin.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I seem to remember Matt Lucas as Andy Pipkin anyway.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It would make sense that the two Proclaimers were walking
0:06:23 > 0:06:25and the two were in wheelchairs, so I'll go for Andy Pipkin.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Andy Pipkin. That's their... the Little Britain sketch, isn't it?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Yeah.- I want that one.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Andy Pipkin in wheelchairs, Brian Potter as Peter Kay, isn't it?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37It's Phoenix Nights.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41OK, you've got it, CJ. You worked it out.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Andy Pipkin is correct,
0:06:43 > 0:06:47which means you have taken the round and back luck for Irene.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51It was going really well there and then ran into the Haydn question.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Bad luck means you won't be in the Final Round.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Would you both, please, come back and join your teams?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Well, first blow for the Eggheads because, as it stands,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03the Rising have lost Irene from the Final Round.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05The Eggheads are, of course, all still there.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Let's see if you can change that, then, the Rising.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Film & Television next for you. Who wants to play this? Film & TV.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14THEY MUMBLE
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'll go, boss.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19OK, Steven, and choose an Egghead, just can't be CJ.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Any of the four, though.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23OK. I'll involve the help of my strategist.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- He's going to tell me what... - Oh, these guys are all very good.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- At least for film and television. - These guys are all very good.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Maybe Dave doesn't know much television.- Dave?- Dave.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Yeah, we'll go for Dave.- Dave.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37All right, Steven and Dave playing Film & TV.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40In to the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41All right, then, Steven.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- So, you're Irene's big brother, aren't you?- That's correct, yes.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46What was it like when you were growing up?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Were you always listening to music, singing, things like that?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Yeah, a lot of music in our house.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Irene did most of the singing, I have to say.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55What, do you play instruments as well?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I play a bit of guitar, yes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00OK, I can see what kind of brother and sister...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Donny and Marie or someone like that.- Oh, dear. Surely not.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05The Carpenters.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09All right, let's move swiftly on.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I think so.- Film & Television.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15I will go first.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20All right, first question, Steven. Good luck with it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Which of these usually followed
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Anne Robinson's contestant dismissal,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26"You are the weakest link"?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I will say it is goodbye.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Yeah, course it is. You are the weakest link, goodbye!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40And, Dave, who plays Harry Dunne
0:08:40 > 0:08:42opposite Jim Carrey as Lloyd Christmas
0:08:42 > 0:08:45in the 1994 film, Dumb & Dumber?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I think they announced in 2013 there's going to be a remake.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56That's Golden Globe winning actor...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59no, Emmy-winning actor, I should say, Jeff Daniels.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01OK, yeah, you got it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Jeff Daniels is correct.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07OK, Steven, second question. Good start.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Which actor from The Fast Show played Ron Weasley's father, Arthur,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13in the Harry Potter films?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Oh, my son will be mad that I don't know this.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I'll go with Paul Whitehouse.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Paul Whitehouse, you think, playing Arthur Weasley.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33No, it's not Paul Whitehouse. Do you know, Dave? Only two...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Mark Williams.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Mark Williams is what we were looking for,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39so nothing for you there, Steven.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42So, Dave, how will you do with your second question?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46George Irving played a character called Anton Meyer
0:09:46 > 0:09:50between 1999 and 2002 in which television drama?
0:09:54 > 0:09:59He was a rather brutal hospital registrar, I think.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Um...
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Didn't have much time for any nonsense,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06and it was in Holby City.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Yeah, once you said hospital registrar
0:10:08 > 0:10:10that led you to that, which you knew.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13OK, you have that lead, then, Dave. That is correct.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16So it's two on two and a must-get question then, Steven.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Which actress who won an Oscar for her supporting role
0:10:18 > 0:10:22in Rosemary's Baby also received three nominations
0:10:22 > 0:10:27for her scripts co-written with Garson Kanin?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'm going to go with Ruth Gordon.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Any particular reason why, Steven?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- No reason whatsoever.- OK.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- I cannot lie.- Well, it is the right answer, you'll be pleased to hear.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Fabulous stuff.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Well done, Steven, keeps you in it, but still at the mercy of Dave.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Who was the first husband of Marilyn Monroe?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03There's only one of those that I know was her husband,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06and I think she married maybe four times,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08but there's only one that I've heard.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It might be that somebody else married her before him,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13but I've got to go with James Dougherty.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And it is the right answer, Dave.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17He's very good on this category.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19And it means - bad luck, Steven, you've
0:11:19 > 0:11:22followed your sister. Very close again,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25just the one in it, but you won't be in the Final Round.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Well, as it stands now, The Rising have lost two brains
0:11:31 > 0:11:33from the Final Round, the Eggheads haven't lost any yet.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36But we've still got two more head-to-heads
0:11:36 > 0:11:38before that Final Round, so it could be all square there.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40And what do you want to do, then,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42with our next round, which is Science?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Who wants to play this from The Rising?
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- OK.- Mike, good luck. - All right, we've got you, Mike.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53And who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Dave and CJ have played, so it is Barry, Kevin or Pat.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Barry worries me.- He worries ME.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01For different reasons.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Any of the other Eggheads...
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- I know Pat is a bit deadly as well, so I'm going to go for Kevin.- OK.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Who's not deadly at all. He's a pussy cat.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14OK, let's have Mike and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18OK, Mike, so what do you do in the band? What do you play?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I play keyboards in the band, so, like Roy Bittan
0:12:22 > 0:12:24in the E Street Band, I'm known as The Professor.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Ah, The Prof. And are you a professor of science?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- What is your knowledge of this subject?- No. We'll soon find out.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34OK, we will. Do you want to go first or second, Mike?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37That's going to depend. I'll go first.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41All right, good luck, Mike. First question.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Which term is used to describe swollen,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47lumpy or twisted veins that mostly occur in the legs?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52That's an easy one.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Fortunately, I haven't suffered from this yet, but it is varicose veins.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Varicose veins. Yep, that's right, good start.
0:13:00 > 0:13:07Kevin, which space mission sent the dog Laika into space in 1957?
0:13:10 > 0:13:15Yes, and the poor little thing didn't last very long. It was Sputnik 2.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It is Sputnik 2. What happened to it?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Well, they think...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22It had been in space long and she just overheated and, um...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24That was it, just expired.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- They had made no provision for getting her back anyway.- Oh.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31So, in fact, one of the feeding tubes that she had was,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34at the right moment, supposed to give her
0:13:34 > 0:13:38a sort of lethal cyanide or whatever. But it wasn't necessary
0:13:38 > 0:13:41because she died fairly soon after it got into space.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43My goodness me, I didn't know all that. I just knew the dog.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46All right. Well, you got it,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49and that's the rather sad demise of Laika explained as well.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53OK, it's all square. Mike, second question.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54In the animal kingdom,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57which of these has a spine-covered upper body?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03It's not platypus.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07It's a seagoing animal, if you'd call it that.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I'm not very sure what a bandicoot is.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I think it's...
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Echidna.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yes, it is. That's correct.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Well done, Mike.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23OK, your second question, Kevin.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27In which of these years was Haley's Comet visible to the naked
0:14:27 > 0:14:28eye from Earth?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Uh... That was 1910,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39which was the... Mark Twain was actually born in about...
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Well, he was born 1835,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44round about the time that it was previously visible.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46And he always said that he came in with the comet
0:14:46 > 0:14:48and he'd go out with the comet, and sure enough...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- No.- Yeah.- Died in 1910?- Mm, yeah.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Look at that. Look at what we get from the Eggheads.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56What richness, what layers.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Not just the dates, but a story with it.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00OK, 1910, and the correct answer, may I confirm.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Kevin knew that anyway.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It is the correct answer. Two all. Well, Mike,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07you're matching him and you're setting the pace here.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Keep it up. Third question.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13The Imperial measurement known as a hundredweight
0:15:13 > 0:15:15is equal to how many stones?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Yeah, it's... Is it 112 pounds?
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Something like that. I think it is eight. Eight stones.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29OK, you're going for eight. Interesting, isn't it?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33This is one that some of our younger contestants might have struggled
0:15:33 > 0:15:35with a little bit more, but, Mike, presumably,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38you learned these Imperial measurements at school.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40And you have remembered it. Yeah, eight.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Eight stones in a hundredweight.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Had to convert that from pounds, which you knew.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52OK, well, Kevin, here's your question.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Cerophagy is the term for the practice employed by some
0:15:55 > 0:15:57creatures of eating what?
0:16:00 > 0:16:06Cerophagy. It is C-E-R-O-P-H-A-G-Y.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10So, the phagy bit means the eating, and it was C-E-R-O...
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Yeah.- ..before that? Well, that's...
0:16:14 > 0:16:17That would lead me to wax.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Yeah, you got it, that's correct.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22It is all square, then, and it means, Mike,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26you're going really well here, taking Kevin into Sudden Death.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28The first time in this game. And that means we remove the options.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I've just got to hear an answer from you,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I can't offer you anything to have a guess at, should you need to.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36So, here is your question.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Which constellation that lies between Pisces
0:16:40 > 0:16:44and Capricornus has a Latin name meaning water carrier?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I was going to say Sagittarius, but I think that is the archer
0:16:50 > 0:16:53or something like that. Um...
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- No, it just won't come to me. I can't get it.- OK.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03This is the difficulty of Sudden Death.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'm sure you would get this out of a list.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08But it is Sudden Death, we've had to make it harder.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Um, Kevin.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- It's Aquarius.- Aquarius.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Which, as I say,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17you would have got that out of a list, I'm almost certain.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Water carrier, Aquarius.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22But it is just so much harder, especially under the pressure
0:17:22 > 0:17:26of these competition conditions, to conjure anything up.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Bad luck, Mike.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Kevin needs to get this if he's to win the round.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Kevin, in the measurement of the intensity of sound,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36ten decibels equals which unit?
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Unless I am missing a trick here... I mean, deci means a tenth part,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44so ten decibels make one bel.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46So, it's a bel.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50You've just been displaying impeccable logic and explanation.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Right, it is a bel, B-E-L, from decibel.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55It means we have to say goodbye to Mike, who played a really
0:17:55 > 0:17:57good round there, but just didn't quite make it,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00against Kevin... Even for how good Kevin is,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02sparkling form at the moment.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04So, well done, Mike, to get him into Sudden Death.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06But it means you won't be in the Final Round.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Well, there is an imbalance to the score sheet at the moment,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15which I don't really feel reflects the quality of the playing
0:18:15 > 0:18:16we're seeing from the Rising.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19But three head-to-heads, and three of them have been knocked out,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21but only just for all of them.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23The Eggheads, of course, haven't lost any players yet.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Let's hope that changes now. You deserve it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29And our last head-to-head before the Final Round is History.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31You've only got two eligible players, of course,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33so Douglas or Harry? History.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Go for it, Harry.- I'll go for it. - OK, Harry. Good luck.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37- I'll go for that.- OK, Harry.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40And who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43We've got Barry or Pat left.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Barry, we've near enough the same name.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Harry and Barry. Nicely rhyming, OK.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55And for once, Barry's shirt has been outshone by a contestant.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- OK, it's...- Never mind my shirt, look how far down the list CJ is.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Yeah, I know. OK. Barry and Harry, into the Question Room, please.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08So, Harry, what do you do with The Rising?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I am their driver, roadie.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- I just carry all the gear about. - Yeah. General factotum.- That's it.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17OK. And what about your interest in history?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Do you read around the subject,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21do you watch documentaries about it and things like that?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Uh... Quick answer, no.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25LAUGHTER
0:19:25 > 0:19:29OK. Well, let's see what you have managed to glean on your travels.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Good luck, Harry. Here's your first question.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41King Henry V of England led his forces into which
0:19:41 > 0:19:44battle on the 25th of October, 1415?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Chamonix.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51OK, Chamonix.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53No, it's not.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55It is... Barry?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58It was on St Crispin's Day and it was Agincourt.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Agincourt.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03And your question, Barry.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Horatio Nelson lost the sight in his right eye after wounds
0:20:06 > 0:20:10sustained in the 1794 siege of where?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17I believe Nelson lost his right arm at the Battle of Tenerife.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19And he lost his right eye at the Battle of Calvi.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Right eye, the Battle-Siege of Calvi.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25That is correct, Barry.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28So, one-nil to Barry. OK, Harry.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32In which year was the sixpence demonetised in the UK?
0:20:37 > 0:20:381970.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41OK, 1970, you think.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Down the middle again. Uh...
0:20:43 > 0:20:45It's not.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Do you know, Barry?- 1980.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50We know decimalisation in 1971.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54This was LSD, so to speak - pounds, shillings and pence.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57So, what was it equal to and why did they keep it in circulation, Barry?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- It's 2.5 new pence.- 2.5p.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- And I suppose, just a nice size. - I think it was just the continuation,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06so there was a gradual change from the old currency
0:21:06 > 0:21:08to the new and it didn't startle too many people.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12And that was the thing, wasn't it? The shilling and the 5p,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14obviously matches, they were the same size, weren't they?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17So they were able to circulate together.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21So it was as late as 1980 that the sixpence was demonetised,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24as Barry is telling us, equal to 2.5 pence.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27OK. Well,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29a chance to win the round here, then, Barry.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31That wasn't your question, of course.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Elizabeth I was buried with which other monarch in a tomb with a
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Latin inscription meaning, "Partners both in throne and grave."
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Right, let me think about this.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It couldn't have been Mary I, because Mary I...
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Actually, Mary I was before Elizabeth I.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54So, let me think.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00I think she would have been buried with her father, who was Henry VIII.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02So I'm going for Henry VIII.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04OK, Henry VIII. So what have we got there?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Father, half-brother and half-sister?- Yes.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09She didn't get on well with her sister,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11so I can't imagine she'd be buried...
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- she'd want to be buried with her sister.- OK.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15She didn't really have a choice, did she?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Or maybe she did, but maybe it wasn't followed.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Or maybe it was. But it is not Henry VIII, no. Other Eggheads?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- Was she buried next to Mary? - Mary.- It was?!- Yep.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Wow, goodness me, I am surprised at that.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31OK, you are still in it, Harry. And... But you need to get this.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- No problem. - What name was given to...? Good.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38What name was given to the female members of the medieval
0:22:38 > 0:22:42lay religious communities believed to be named after the priest
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Lambert le Begue?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It would need to be Lambies.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55OK, Lambies.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00- Do you think it is that, Barry? - No, I think it's the Beg...Beguin...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Beguines.- And it is the Beguines.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Which means the round is over.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Barry has got a mighty one to your zero.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Which means you won't be in the Final Round.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Well, this is what we've been playing towards, it is
0:23:18 > 0:23:20time for the Final Round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:23 > 0:23:25won't be allowed to take part.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28So, Steven, Irene, Harry and Mike from The Rising,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33So, Douglas, all on your own there.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35But at least you don't have Harry yattering on.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Can you ever shut him up? He's just there, "Yap, yap, yap."
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Yeah, he's a noisy lad, isn't he? And very talkative.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43On those long drives up to those gigs, I mean,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45he must just talk and talk and talk.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50- Yeah, we kind of switch off at that time.- OK. But I mean...
0:23:50 > 0:23:53As I said earlier, some of those head-to-heads were very unlucky,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55but it has left you all on your own.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59And so, Douglas, you're playing to win The Rising £1,000.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Pat, Dave, Kevin, CJ and Barry,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04you are playing for something which money can't buy, something
0:24:04 > 0:24:07that needs a bit of polishing, I think - your reputation.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Now, as usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:24:12 > 0:24:14and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15So, Douglas, the question is,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21And as always, Douglas, as the Challenger,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24you get to choose - do you want to start or let the Eggheads begin?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Can I go first, please, Dermot?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31And the very best of luck to you, Douglas.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34General Knowledge, first question.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Which British city is the base of the BBC's Natural History Unit?
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Which British city is the base of the BBC's Natural History Unit?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I'm not aware of it. Um...
0:24:52 > 0:24:57Thinking of natural history and, you know, that sort of thing,
0:24:57 > 0:25:03I would say possibly York has more natural history connected to it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- I'll go for York.- OK, York for the BBC's Natural History Unit.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12They've got specialisms dotted all around the United Kingdom.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15And for many, many years, many decades,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20the Natural History Unit has been and is based...
0:25:20 > 0:25:21in Bristol.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Bristol, Douglas. Sorry about that.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28I mean, I think it's always been there, ever since I was a kid.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I remember Johnny Morris coming out of Bristol.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Yeah, strong connection to Bristol Zoo.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Oh, I see. OK, of course.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37All right, Eggheads, your first question.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Which of these creatures does not represent
0:25:40 > 0:25:42a year in the Chinese calendar?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Which of these creatures does not represent
0:25:47 > 0:25:49a year in the Chinese calendar?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- The year of the butterfly. - The butterfly.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54The butterfly, I would have thought.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56That's butterfly, Dermot.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Not a Chinese year.- No.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02OK, butterfly. That is correct, Eggheads.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04All right, let's see if we can get you
0:26:04 > 0:26:06off the mark, Douglas.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13The video footage shot in 1967 and known as the Patterson-Gimlin
0:26:13 > 0:26:17film purportedly shows which creature?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Which creature do you think was captured...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26purportedly captured on video footage?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29I'm going to discard mermaid.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31And, between the other two...
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I'm hoping it's the Loch Ness monster.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38OK, hoping for the Loch Ness monster.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Well, there's a lot of purported footage around and,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45of course, rather grainy photographs.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47The answer is...
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Bigfoot, though. Bigfoot.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I wonder the Eggheads know anything more about it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55There was a bit of moving footage, apparently, of Bigfoot.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56What does it show?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I'm only familiar with the various Loch Ness stuff.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00You've probably seen it.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03It shows a lot of trees with some smaller cut-down trees
0:27:03 > 0:27:07in the foreground. And this creature walking from left to right,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09just slightly away from the camera.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11So you can't see any detail, it's very blurry.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14And after a few years, it was revealed as a hoax anyway.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16But it doesn't last very long.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I think I have seen that, cos it ends on a close-up,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21and suddenly you see Chris!
0:27:22 > 0:27:27OK, well, Eggheads, you've got a chance here to close it down.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31The US Marine Corps base in Virginia that houses the FBI Academy
0:27:31 > 0:27:34is named after its location where?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40The US Marine Corps base in Virginia that houses the FBI Academy
0:27:40 > 0:27:43is named after its location where?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Quantico.- Quantico?- Yep.- Yep.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47That's Quantico.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Quantico.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52It is the correct answer. Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Bad luck, Douglas. It was always going to be tough on your own.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You get a couple of questions you don't know much about,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05you have a guess and, you know, you've got no-one to talk to.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08You never know what you could talk about. If you can get
0:28:08 > 0:28:11in a word edgeways over Harry, you can talk about it on the way back.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Listen, best of luck, The Rising,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15with everything you do in the future,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18with all the music and all the joy I know you bring to all your fans.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20And you brought us a lot of joy and entertainment here today.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Thank you very much for taking them on.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,

0:28:33 > 0:28:36So, join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
