0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:34 > 0:00:37are Glevum's Glorious from Gloucester.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38This team of colleagues
0:00:38 > 0:00:40all work for the same healthcare firm
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and take their name from the Roman name for Gloucester.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Hello. I'm Russ. I'm 54. I'm a customer support manager.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, my name's Al. I'm 43. I'm the warehouse manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Emma. I'm 44. And I'm a graphic designer.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Paul. I'm 51 and I'm a technical director.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Mark. I'm 38 and I'm an IT director.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Tell me about the team, Russ.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07You've hand-picked them here
0:01:07 > 0:01:10because of their ability with your question of the day.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- The world-famous daily calendar quiz question.- Ah.- It, er...
0:01:14 > 0:01:17It started off five, six years ago.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19It's a tear-off calendar -
0:01:19 > 0:01:21someone gave it to me for a Christmas present -
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- with a general knowledge question. - Yeah.- And, er...
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Al works in the warehouse the other end of the building,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31so he said, "Could you e-mail me the question?"
0:01:31 > 0:01:33So I e-mailed him the question
0:01:33 > 0:01:36and it's now grown to over 50 members in the company
0:01:36 > 0:01:38and it also goes outside the company,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41to our other factory over in Lincolnshire.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42In Boston, Lincolnshire.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And that's how it's come about
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and the team today are probably the best ones.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- As long as they weren't cheating! - OK. Well, I was going to say that.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51You say it's been going for several years.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Once they work out which calendar you buy,
0:01:53 > 0:01:54they could be ahead of you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57The calendar's finished now. I make up questions every day
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and I sometimes pinch your questions from here.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01LAUGHTER
0:02:01 > 0:02:02All right. Well, well practised,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and know the way of the Eggheads as well.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Let's play the game, shall we?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Glevum's Glorious, very good to have you here.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:10 > 0:02:11up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19So, Glevum's Glorious, the Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23which means £6,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Let's start, then, with our first head-to-head
0:02:25 > 0:02:28and, oh, it's come up as Film & Television.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Who'd like to play this round, the opening round?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32It's got to be you, Russ, hasn't it?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Yes, we've got a preordained plan and that's for me.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Oh, OK. Straight in, then, Russ.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And choose any Egghead you like.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Go for Barry?- Yeah, go for Barry. - Go for Barry? Go for Barry, please.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Russ will carry their baton into battle
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and taking on Barry from the Eggheads.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Would you go to the Question Room, please?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So, Russ, Film & Television, then?
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Is this your favourite subject?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Or you just decided to do the captain's job
0:02:58 > 0:03:00and nobody else wanted to play it?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03No, this is the one I wanted to do. This is the one I prefer to do.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Good, good. OK. Do you want to go first or second?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12First question then, Russ.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17In 2013, which of these rejoined the judging panel of the X Factor?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Er, it's not a programme I normally watch
0:03:23 > 0:03:25but it's in the papers all the time.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Pretty sure it's Sharon Osbourne.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Yes, it is. Sharon Osbourne. Well done.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Barry, which actor provided the voice for the Genie
0:03:34 > 0:03:37in the 1992 Disney film, Aladdin?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Well, they all have lovely voices, especially Morgan Freeman -
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I love his deep, resonant tones.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50But I believe the genie in Aladdin was played by Robin Williams.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Yes, that is correct as well. It's one apiece.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55And Russ...
0:03:55 > 0:03:58the popular 1960s television show, Daktari,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01was largely set on which continent?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07This programme is about lions,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10so my answer will be Africa.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Africa?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It's the right answer. Yes.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16OK, well, you got that, Russ, so you've got two.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Barry, Freddie Young, who was born in London in 1902
0:04:20 > 0:04:23was a three-time Academy Award winner in which category?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Don't know this one. I don't think it was costume design.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33There are other names that come to mind for that.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Editing or cinematography.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Not sure but I'll go for cinematography.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40OK, not sure.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42But you have got it.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43And both going really well here.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It's two-all
0:04:45 > 0:04:47and, Russ, your third question.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Which English actor made his big-screen debut
0:04:50 > 0:04:54playing Lord Adrian in the 1982 film, Privileged?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01It's not a film I've seen.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I'm going to struggle with this.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05I'm going to go...
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Julian Sands.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11OK, Julian Sands for Lord Adrian in Privileged.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14It's the wrong answer, it's the first one you've got wrong, Russ.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17It's not Julian Sands. Barry, only two to choose from there.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I thought it was Hugh Grant.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Yeah, Hugh Grant is the right answer.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23A little bit early for Steve Coogan, of course.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26But Hugh Grant making his big-screen debut there,
0:05:26 > 0:05:27not Julian Sands.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30So, Barry, can you get through on this question?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Who is the director of the films
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Slacker, Dazed And Confused and School Of Rock?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Oh. School Of Rock, I've come across.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I haven't come across the other two, unfortunately.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49I'm really not sure. I'm going to go for Paul Thomas Anderson.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Paul Thomas Anderson.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- What do you think, Eggheads? - Linklater.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Linklater, they're all saying.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57That's because it's the right answer.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58A let-off, Russ.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01You fight on but you fight on
0:06:01 > 0:06:03in the Sudden Death phase now of this round.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06We are taking those options away.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07I know you're very familiar with Eggheads,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09so you know what happens here.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12We are not going to give you any choices.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18Who played Robin in the 1990s films Batman Forever and Batman & Robin?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I can picture his face. Um...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26No, it's gone. I...
0:06:26 > 0:06:30I can picture his face but I can't under his name, sorry.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Yeah. That's why Sudden Death is so much harder.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I'm sure you would pick this name out of a list. Barry, do you know?
0:06:35 > 0:06:36I'm in the same position.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I, too, can see his face and I can't recall his name!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, I can see CJ knows.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Chris O'Donnell.- Chris O'Donnell.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45That's the one.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Yes, the light bulbs going on in the Question Room there for both of you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51But, unfortunately, Russ, it was your question,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53so we put a big X
0:06:53 > 0:06:55beside your score sheet
0:06:55 > 0:06:58and Barry has another chance to get through.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Barry, who played the lead role in the 1996 film The Nutty Professor?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05The Nutty Professor. This is another one I've seen.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I believe that was Eddie Murphy.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12It was Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Bad luck, Russ. It means you won't be in the final round
0:07:14 > 0:07:16but, of course, you're coming back, I know,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18to continue to guide and lead your team there.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25As it stands, Glevum's Glorious have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28The Eggheads haven't lost any. We've only played one round.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Let's play another one, shall we? And our next head-to-head,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33it's going to be on the subject of Science.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Who wants to play this from Glevum's Glorious?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- I think that's going to be Paul. - Has to be Paul. Yes.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- I'll take Science, Dermot. - Has to be Paul.- All right, Paul.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And choose an Egghead, remembering that you can't pick Barry.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47My decision would be...Dave.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh, Dave? OK.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53The captain has nominated that I take on Dave.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- OK, and you're happy with that? - Well, I'll have to be!
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Is this team rules?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Or else you'll get a terrible question at the next daily quiz!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03All right, it's going to be Paul and Dave playing Science.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Into the Question Room, both of you, please.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10So, Paul, what's your scientific background? I know you like fishing.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Yeah, fishing is one of my favourite hobbies
0:08:13 > 0:08:15but, um, I actually graduated as a chemist,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17so chemistry is my background
0:08:17 > 0:08:21and I've worked in labs at the company we all work for.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24And I've sort of progressed through the company
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and now in charge of the department.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28All right. Well, well-suited for it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31What set of questions? First or second for you?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'll go first, try that one again.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Paul, first question on Science.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40What name is given to the branch of medicine
0:08:40 > 0:08:42that deals with disorders of the nervous system?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50OK. Cardiology, I know, is to do with the heart.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55And I'd guess that of ophthom... opthalomogy... thomology...
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Shall I say that one again?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58It's hard to say. The one in the middle!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01The one in the middle is, um...
0:09:01 > 0:09:02to do with the eyes
0:09:02 > 0:09:05so, by process of elimination, I'll go for neurology.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Yeah, neurology and the nervous system go together.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It is the right answer, of course. One to you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Dave, a real tester.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The acorn is the fruit of which tree?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21The acorn is the fruit of which tree?
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Will he know it?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Oh, I don't know(!)
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Oak.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25HE CHUCKLES
0:09:25 > 0:09:29The acorn is the fruit, I can confirm, of the oak.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Well done. Right.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33OK, both off the mark.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And, Paul, second question.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39The Dexter, introduced to England from Ireland in 1882,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41is a breed of what type of farm animal?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47It doesn't sound like a pig, I must admit. Um...
0:09:48 > 0:09:52So I'll eliminate that one. So I'll go sheep or cattle. Um...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Cattle, I think. I'll go for cattle.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- OK, cattle.- Mm-hm.- The Dexter.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's the right answer, yes, well done.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Dave, second question.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07An Appetite For Wonder, published in 2013, is the first volume
0:10:07 > 0:10:10of which scientist and thinker's autobiography?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Trying to think if Stephen Hawking's had anything out recently.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Um, or Dawkins.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'll go with Stephen Hawking but no...
0:10:26 > 0:10:28No real... Mm.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'll go Stephen Hawking.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33OK, Stephen Hawking for An Appetite For Wonder.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- It's got a lot of the same letters in it but it is...- Dawkins.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37..Dawkins, yes.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Richard Dawkins with An Appetite For Wonder.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44OK, well, this is looking good at the moment for you, Paul.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45But, to seal the deal,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48a correct answer here takes you through to the final round.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52The Alvarez hypothesis is concerned with which of these?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I must confess that I've not heard of it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02So I'm going to have to try
0:11:02 > 0:11:06and put some logical thinking together on this one. Um...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10They're all things that have a hypothesis
0:11:10 > 0:11:14but I think I'll eliminate solar flares.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I'm going to go down the middle, Dermot,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18and go for the dinosaur extinction.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23OK, dinosaur extinction for the Alvarez hypothesis.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24It's the right answer.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30And you've just extinguished Dave's challenge
0:11:30 > 0:11:32to get into the final round.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's confirmed your place in the final round.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Well, a GLORIOUS performance from Paul
0:11:39 > 0:11:43means both teams have now lost one brain from the final round.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45And our third subject...
0:11:45 > 0:11:46it's Sport.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Who wants to play this?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- It is your moment now. - Me, nominated for sport.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54OK. Prearranged, is it?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Al, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Dave and Barry have played, so it can be CJ, Kevin or Pat.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I'm not sure whether CJ shaking his head is meant to be putting me off
0:12:03 > 0:12:04but it's not going to work.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I'm going to take CJ for sport, please.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08He's been practising, I bet.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10No, that was genuine. He really didn't want to play it.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14OK, let's have Al and CJ into the Question Room, please.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18So, Al, are you a sports fanatic?
0:12:18 > 0:12:19I do watch a lot of sport.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24I used to participate a little bit more than I do nowadays
0:12:24 > 0:12:27but, yeah, I can watch bought all day long.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32Sitting on a nice sofa, big HDTV and I can watch anything.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35OK, well, give this one a go. Do you want to go first or second, Al?
0:12:35 > 0:12:36I'd like to go first, please, Dermot.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41First set of questions, first one of those.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43When asked in an interview
0:12:43 > 0:12:47who he would support at the 2006 FIFA World Cup,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50who jokingly said, "Anyone but England."
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I do remember this. Um...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I think he got quite a lot of bad press because of this
0:12:58 > 0:13:00but I do think he did say it jokingly.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02There's three famous Scotsmen there
0:13:02 > 0:13:04but I think the correct answer is Andy Murray.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Andy Murray, "Anyone but England."
0:13:06 > 0:13:08It's the right answer, yes.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well identified, Al.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16CJ, which American golfer won the 2013 US PGA Championship?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22That was Jason Dufner.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Yes, it was.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Jason Dufner picked out there by CJ. One apiece.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Al. In 2013, the Englishman Darren Barker
0:13:31 > 0:13:34became a world champion in which sport?
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Not heard of the name.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I think if he'd been a world championship boxer,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I probably would've heard of him.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I think I'll go for bowls.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Bowls for Darren Barker.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50No, it's incorrect. Sorry, Al.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Eggheads here in the studio?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Boxing.- Boxing. It is boxing, Al.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Right, well, nothing there. Will CJ take the lead?
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Josef Craig won a gold medal at the 2012 Paralympics in which sport?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09J-O-S-E-F.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Josef Craig.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13I mean, I haven't heard of him.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15But, playing the percentages,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18the one that has the most categories,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21the one that has the most competitors is swimming.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Ah, the Eggheads at least know their percentages
0:14:23 > 0:14:25and you've got the right one. Yes, swimming.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I wonder if any of the other Eggheads
0:14:27 > 0:14:29can tell me more about Josef Craig.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Not from where?- Not other than the fact that he's British.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- British, OK.- But which event or anything like that...
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I remember the name from the Paralympics but...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41OK, well, CJ did get it, though,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43and it means you need get this, Al.
0:14:43 > 0:14:50In darts, a checkout of 138 is named after which world champion?
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Um, I do watch a bit of darts. It is strangely compelling television.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58It is, isn't it? Yeah.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Um...138.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03It's going to have to be a bit of a guess.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I'm going to go down the right for Jocky Wilson, please, Dermot.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09OK, Jocky Wilson for a 138.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I'm sure they all achieved that
0:15:11 > 0:15:14but it's named after one of those world champions.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And it is not Jocky Wilson. No. Do you know, CJ?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Before the options came up, for some reason I thought Keith Deller.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Yeah, it's Keith Deller with the 138.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Anyone tell me why? Presumably it was...- '83, he won the World Champ.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29He beat Bristow, and I think that's what he finished on.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Finished in 138?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Yeah, which is the right answer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Wasn't he known as The Milkman as well?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Didn't he like a pint of milk, whereas the rest of them
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- were drinking other kinds of pints, and many of them.- Absolutely!
0:15:40 > 0:15:44OK. It is Keith Deller with the 138, which means CJ hits the bull's-eye.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46He's going through to the final round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48No place for you, Al.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53So, as it stands, Glevum's Glorious
0:15:53 > 0:15:55have lost two brains from the final round.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57The Eggheads have lost one
0:15:57 > 0:16:00and we reach our last head-to-head before the final round
0:16:00 > 0:16:02and this subject is Politics.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Who'd like to play Politics?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- Great(!)- Two of you left. Emma or Mark?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07It's, I'm afraid.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Ugh.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10You look pleased about it, Emma. That's good.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13SHE LAUGHS
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Or is it just nerves? I don't know.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- It's horror!- Horror? OK.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Well, choose a horror to take with you.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- The horrors left are Pat and Kevin. - What do you think, boys?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Er, Pat.- Go for Pat? - Can we have Pat, please?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29He's not a horror. He's lovely, isn't he?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Let's have Emma and Pat into the Question Room, please.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35All right, Emma, you're playing the Politics round.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:37 > 0:16:38I'd like to go first, please.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Here you go.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Dan Quayle served as Vice President of the USA during what term?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Right, I know the name, which is helpful.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00But I'm trying to think of the years.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I don't think it was '77-'81.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I'm going to go for '89-'93.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08'89-'93.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- You've got it. Well done. Yes. - Wow!
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Under the first George Bush, George Bush Senior.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16And your first question, Pat.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Who became Prime Minister of Australia in September 2013?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Er, they've had a bit of to-ing and fro-ing,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Prime Minister-wise, in recent years.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Um, Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36But it was the Mad Monk, Tony Abbott,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38who has been elected.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Yeah, and you haven't called him that.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You'd better just explain that, Pat.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46When he was a young man, I think he seriously considered the priesthood.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- OK.- I think he went some distance along the path
0:17:48 > 0:17:51before electing for the more honourable profession of politics.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52DERMOT CHUCKLES
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Yes. OK, it's the right answer.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Well done, Pat, you have one.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Good start by Emma.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Second question, Emma.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03In 2010, the MP Julie Morgan guided a Private Member's Bill
0:18:03 > 0:18:07through Parliament, outlawing under-18s from doing what?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Well, I don't think it's using nose trimmers. Um...
0:18:16 > 0:18:22I don't know how you could stop people using Facebook because...
0:18:22 > 0:18:23my son, he's only nine,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25but he's addicted to all sorts of things on the computer,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28so I think maybe it might be using sunbeds.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yeah, I mean, the elimination technique will work there
0:18:30 > 0:18:31if you don't know it.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33It is the right answer, yes.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38And, Pat, in 2013,
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Matthew Barzun was appointed United States Ambassador to which country?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I think this chap is married to a woman
0:18:49 > 0:18:51who is the heiress to the company
0:18:51 > 0:18:54that makes various big whiskey brands.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I think he is the Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02That is the right answer, Pat. Ambassador to the UK.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04And, Emma, everything to play for.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Here you go.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08What government position did Peter Thorneycroft hold
0:19:08 > 0:19:10between 1957 and 1958?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Ooh, er...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20OK. Um...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Right, let's rule out Chancellor of the Exchequer.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Um...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Thorneycroft. Ugh.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34This is going to be...
0:19:34 > 0:19:37between Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I think I'm going to go Home, so can I have Home Secretary, please?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42It's not Home Secretary. Do you know, Pat?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I would have guessed at Chancellor.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47It is Chancellor. So...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49an opening for Pat.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Pat, which politician wrote the 1952 book, In Place Of Fear,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56regarded as one of the most important
0:19:56 > 0:19:57socialist books of its day?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I think Gaitskell was still alive, early '50s.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I think he died late '50s.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11I'm not sure about Bevan's dates, or Attlee's. Um...
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I think Bevan and Gaitskell are the two men noted for...
0:20:16 > 0:20:19..for thought, in the sense of theory. Um...
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I'm going to have to just have a pick.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25In Place Of Fear.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Bevan or Gaitskell?
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Gaitskell.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32No, Pat. Not Gaitskell. Other Eggheads?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Bevan?- Bevan, yeah. Aneurin Bevan.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I mean, you know, Gaitskell...
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I don't think he really was noted for being on the left of the party.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Bevan clearly was.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44You live to fight another day, Emma. Great stuff.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Second chance! - But it is in Sudden Death.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51So let's hope... As I say, I can't offer you any options.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52So let's hope you know this.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54In the 20th century,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58the Beagle Channel dispute was an ongoing territorial dispute
0:20:58 > 0:21:02between Chile and which other South American country?
0:21:02 > 0:21:03I'm going to pick Argentina
0:21:03 > 0:21:06cos they always seem to be in dispute with somebody or other.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's probably not even close, sorry. So I will go Argentina.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Argentina, OK. Well, we're taking that.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12You can't change your mind, Emma.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Sorry.- Oh, dear.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15SHE LAUGHS
0:21:17 > 0:21:18- It's the right answer.- No!
0:21:18 > 0:21:20SHE LAUGHS
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Yeah.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And Eggheads will tell me the Beagle Channel, named after...?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- HMS Beagle.- Which was?- Darwin.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Well, the ship on which Darwin travelled as a scientist.- OK.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It means you need to get this, Pat.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Last time you were answering a question, it was to win the round,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38this to stay in it.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Issued in July 1945, the Potsdam Declaration
0:21:42 > 0:21:47demanded the surrender of which nation at the end of World War II?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48July...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Well, the Japanese bombs were August.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Had Germany surrendered by July '45?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03It's going to be Germany versus Japan.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I think I'm mangling this. I'm going to say Japan.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07OK, Japan.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09It is the right answer, yes.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Japan. The Potsdam Declaration demanded the surrender of Japan
0:22:12 > 0:22:15at the end of World War II.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16OK, Emma, another question.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22Of which country was Jacques Santer - S-A-N-T-E-R -
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Jacques Santer Prime Minister in the 1980s and 1990s?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Jacques Santer. He sounds French. I think I'm going to go for Canada.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I know it's really random but they've got French speakers there.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- Maybe Canada?- OK, yeah, it's perfectly plausible, of course.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Remember Pierre Trudeau and plenty of French-sounding names there
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- but, no, it is European. - Oh, never mind.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I mean, this... He'll be familiar to, I think,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49a lot of our viewers as well because he went on to become
0:22:49 > 0:22:51President of the European Commission.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54But he was Prime Minister of this country. Do you know, Pat?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- I think it's Luxembourg. - It is Luxembourg.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Unlucky, but a chance for Pat then, again.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05Richard Daley served over two decades as mayor of which US city,
0:23:05 > 0:23:09from 1955 to 1976?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11This is the famous "Boss" Daley.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13And I think his son, Richard Daley,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16had another tour of duty as Mayor of Chicago.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Chicago?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19It's correct, Pat.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22You have just got into the final round.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Well, Emma, I think you covered yourself in glory there
0:23:25 > 0:23:27but it wasn't enough, unfortunately,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29to get you through to the final round.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:23:33 > 0:23:34This is what we've been playing towards -
0:23:34 > 0:23:37it's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:39 > 0:23:41won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44So Russ, Al and Emma from Glevum's Glorious
0:23:44 > 0:23:47and Dave from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio, please?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50So, Paul and Mark,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53you're playing to win Glevum's Glorious £6,000.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Pat, Kevin, CJ and Barry, you are playing for something
0:23:56 > 0:24:00which money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03So, as usual, I'm going to ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04That stays the same.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07The differences are, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:24:07 > 0:24:08and you are allowed to confer.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10So, Glevum's Glorious, the question is,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16And, Paul and Mark, how do you want to play this final round?
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Do you want to go first or second?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19We'll go first, please.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Good luck to you both. And here's your first question.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Which member of the Royal family
0:24:26 > 0:24:30founded the Prince's Trust in the 1970s?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Which member of the Royal family
0:24:34 > 0:24:37founded the Prince's Trust in the 1970s?
0:24:37 > 0:24:38(Prince Charles.)
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Yeah.- Yeah? Go with that? - No argument.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42So, yeah, Prince Charles.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Prince Charles, straight in there
0:24:44 > 0:24:47with the right answer, yes. Well done.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49And, Eggheads, the Carbuncle Cup
0:24:49 > 0:24:53is awarded to particularly bad examples of work in which field?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59The Carbuncle Cup is awarded to particularly
0:24:59 > 0:25:01bad examples of work in which field?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- We think that's architecture. - Architecture?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05It's the right answer, Eggheads, as you know.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08CJ, just explain that - "monstrous carbuncle".
0:25:08 > 0:25:10The monstrous carbuncle, yeah. Was it the Barbican?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12No, it was an extension to the National...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14A proposed extension to the National Gallery.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Which Prince Charles wasn't overly fond of.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17And used that phrase.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20And there we have the Carbuncle Cup, as CJ says,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23making those pair of questions well-balanced.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Both of you getting the right answer.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29So second question for you, Glevum's Glorious.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Justin Welby, who officially became Archbishop of Canterbury in 2013,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36was previously Bishop of which diocese?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- When it came up...- yeah?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43When he said his name, for some reason,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Norwich just popped into my head.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47- Well, let's go with instinct.- Yeah.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Norwich, please.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51You think he was Bishop of Norwich
0:25:51 > 0:25:53before he became the Archbishop of Canterbury?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55His diocese was...
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- ..Durham.- Sorry.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00THEY CHUCKLE
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Bishop of Durham. So a slip there. Will the Eggheads go into the lead?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Eggheads, the Pink Floyd album Dark Side Of The Moon
