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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Question 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 > 0:00:35And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are E For Intelligent.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41This group of friends know one another through Leeds University,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45and in their words, famously won the University RAG quiz.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Lawson. I'm 23 and I'm a trading analyst.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Owen. I'm 22 and I'm a warehouse scheduler.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm James. I'm 24 and I'm a factory worker.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Joel. I'm 22 and I'm a Masters student.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Jonny. I'm 22 and I'm a physiotherapist.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Well, welcome to you, E For Intelligent.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09The RAG quiz, is that a big quiz then at Leeds University?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11No, not particularly but...
0:01:11 > 0:01:13We did turn up late and missed the first round and still won,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- so that's our claim to playing... - That's not bad. So what did you win?
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Uh, a mishmash of old Christmas presents that no-one wanted.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21From the hosts.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22DERMOT LAUGHS
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Which you then recycled, I hope, as well.- Yeah, very wrong.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27All right. Well, E For Intelligent,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:29 > 0:01:31for our Challengers.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36So, E For Intelligent,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39the Challengers actually won the last game, proving it can be done.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43That means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44And our first head-to-head challenge
0:01:44 > 0:01:47is on the subject of Music.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50So which one of you wants to start us off playing this round?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Who's taking the bullet? - I'm taking it, aren't I?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Yeah, I think so. - I think I'll take it, Dermot.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Owen. Right, who do you want to play from the Eggheads?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Um, I think I'll go against Chris, please.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04OK, Owen and Chris playing this round.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Into the Question Room, please.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Good luck, Owen. Do you want to go first or second?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I think I'll go first please, Dermot.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Owen, first question is this.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Summer Nights was a UK number one single for John Travolta
0:02:19 > 0:02:21and which singer?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Well, I actually really like the film.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28It's Grease.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30And, yeah, I've seen it a lot on the West End as well,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33so I think I'll go for Olivia Newton-John.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36OK, yes, well done. Identified that very easily. It's the right answer.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Olivia Newton-John.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41So, Chris, Abz Love found fame
0:02:41 > 0:02:42as a member of which band?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Eeh, God, this is one of those boy band things, isn't it?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Um...
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Oh, God, who are the teenyboppers throwing theirselves at these days?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Abz Five, you say?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Abz Love.- Abz Love.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Found fame as a member of which band?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Oh, he's got to be one of One Direction, hasn't he?- No.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07EGGHEADS CHUCKLE
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- HE LAUGHS - You actually inadvertently said it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Abz was a member of the super soaraway 5ive.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15HE GRUMBLES OK.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19How you love those questions, Chris.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Gives us a little chuckle as they come up.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24All right. Well, that's good for you, Owen.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28It means you've got a 1-0 lead and it could shortly become 2-0.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Fraulein Kost and Ernst Ludwig
0:03:31 > 0:03:35are characters in the stage version of which musical?
0:03:38 > 0:03:44Well, I've seen Mamma Mia! I don't really think it's that. Um...
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Pretty sure it's not West Side Story either...
0:03:47 > 0:03:51judging by the names, but I think I'll go for cabaret.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Cabaret.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Yes, the German link of course as well.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57It's the right answer. Well done. Cabaret.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00So, Chris, really under the cosh.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Chris, who sang Knock Knock Who's There
0:04:03 > 0:04:07as the UK's 1970 entry to the Eurovision Song contest?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14No, it's not Lulu. It's not Kathy Kirby.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15It's Mary Hopkin.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Mary Hopkin is the right answer, Chris. OK, well.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Chris finishes last out of a narrow field,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25of course in this round if you get this right, Owen.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29What name is given to the piano works by Edvard Grieg
0:04:29 > 0:04:32which include Wedding Day At Troldhaugen?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Um, I'm not too sure on this one.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I'm not the biggest fan
0:04:43 > 0:04:45of this kind of music, so...
0:04:45 > 0:04:46I'm not thinking it's
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Lyrics Pieces to be honest.
0:04:49 > 0:04:5150-50 between the other two.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Um, and I think I'll...
0:04:54 > 0:04:56have a go at Hungarian Songs if that's...
0:04:56 > 0:04:57I'll give that one a go.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00OK, Hungarian Songs for Wedding Day At Troldhaugen.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It's incorrect. It's your first wrong answer.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Chris would probably be on surer ground on this.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Chris, of the other two?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yeah, it's Lyric Pieces by Grieg.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Is Lyric Pieces which you ruled out first.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16So, you've still got a lead and still a chance
0:05:16 > 0:05:19to get to the final round without answering another question
0:05:19 > 0:05:21but if Chris gets this, it's Sudden Death.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Chris, which operetta first performed in 1924
0:05:24 > 0:05:27is an adaptation of the old play of Heidelberg?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Well, Heidelberg is a German university,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36so it's The Student Prince.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It is The Student Prince.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40That's the danger of these Eggheads,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43you give them a chance and they get right back at you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45So, it's all square.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Two all after those three questions
0:05:48 > 0:05:50which means we go to Sudden Death.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52We remove the options, Owen.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Here you go.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Whose first single Swagger Jagger
0:05:56 > 0:06:00went to number one in the UK charts in 2011?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Oh, it's not really my kind of music this one.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07I'm not sure on this one at all but I'll go for Cher Lloyd.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- It's the right answer. - Hey, there we go.- Yeah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Well.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Chris, the American blues legend Chester Arthur Burnett
0:06:17 > 0:06:21who lived from 1910 to 1976 was better known by what nickname?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Hmm, the dates are right for Muddy Waters.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Muddy Waters.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- What do you think, Eggheads? - Howlin' Wolf.- T-Bone.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- It's Howlin' Wolf.- Oh.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Howlin' Wolf, which means, Owen, you're playing in the final round.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37No place for Chris.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Would you come back and join your teams, both of you, please?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44So, first round gone and the Challengers in the lead.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46One Egghead gone from the final round.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Our next subject then is Science.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51So who'd like to play this? Science.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Do you want this one?- I'd like to take Science, please, Dermot.- OK.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57And Joel, which Egghead would you like to play?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Um, can I take Judith, please?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04OK. Joel and Judith into the Question Room, please.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08So, Joel, Science. Do you want to go first or second?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Um, could I go second, please?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Judith, here's your question then. First set of questions.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21What is the main diet of creatures described as vermivorous?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Well, I don't think it's cheese.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Um, I think it might be worms.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Yes, it is. Yes, worms
0:07:31 > 0:07:33for vermivorous creatures.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Describing you lot really. - DAVE CHUCKLES
0:07:35 > 0:07:39OK, we're kicking off your questions now, Joel, then.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41In biological classification,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45the term Animalia is defined as which rank?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'm not too hot on biology
0:07:51 > 0:07:56but I've got a feeling it could be kingdom, so, go for that.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58All right, going for kingdom. And you've got it, OK.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Both off to a very steady start.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01And, Judith,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04in the name of NASA's GRAIL mission to the moon,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07the letter G stands for which word?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Well, I think if they're going to the moon...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14that would rule out a galaxy
0:08:14 > 0:08:16cos galaxies...well, are big, aren't they?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18And a moon is the moon.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I don't see why it should be Gassy, so I think it must be Gravity.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Gravity...
0:08:23 > 0:08:24is the correct answer.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Yes, Judith.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Joel, your second question.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30What name is given to the point in the sky from which meteors
0:08:30 > 0:08:32appear to originate?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Oh, I feel like I should know this
0:08:38 > 0:08:40but, um, it's going to have to be...
0:08:41 > 0:08:42..a guess.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43And...
0:08:45 > 0:08:46..I'm going to go for radiant.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Oh, wait.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Can I change my answer?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'm afraid you were just a second or two too late.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- OK, I'll go for radiant. - What were you going to change it to?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I was going to change it to brilliant.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01OK. Which is a crying shame...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03for Judith because you got the right answer!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Oh, I did. OK.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08You are a very lucky man, Joel.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Phew.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Means it's all square.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Judith, your third question.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Which Nobel laureate gave half his prize money to his assistant
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Charles Best,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21whom he thought should have shared the Nobel Prize with him?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Um...
0:09:27 > 0:09:28I don't know.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31So it's a guess.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I thought Frederick Banting was the one...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35He was the insulin man, wasn't he?
0:09:35 > 0:09:40And also, Banting is a known word for slimming, isn't it?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Maybe Charles Best was his assistant.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46So Frederick Banting.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50OK, Frederick Banting was the assistant of...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Frederick Banting. Well done, Judith.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Gosh, that's lucky.- Well worked out. Well, you worked it out.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57OK, that means you have the lead back
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and it means you need to get this, Joel.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Sylvanite is the main ore of which mineral?
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Well, it's another one that I don't know.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I don't think it's quartz.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14And...
0:10:14 > 0:10:20anthracite is kind of dark and sparkly, so I'll go with anthracite.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23OK, anthracite for sylvanite,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25the main ore of it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's incorrect.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28It's not the right answer, Joel.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Other Eggheads?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Potash.- It's potash.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It's potash, which means, Judith,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36you are in the final round.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Well played, Judith. Bad luck, Joel.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Well, as it stands then it's all square.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Both teams lost one brain from the final round.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49So, a fascinating contest going on here.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Let's play our third head-to-head.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52This one is Politics.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56So, who from E For Intelligent is going to take this one on?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- It's not me.- Me?- I think...yeah. - Yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I think James. James is up.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02James, who are you playing from the Eggheads?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Judith and Chris have played, so you can choose from Dave, Pat or Barry.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Who is it going to be, James? - Dave's good at sport.- Yeah.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- So we could do that.- Yeah.- Pick Dave then?- Yeah, cos we'll have Sport.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Yeah,- go on. What do you think? - I'm won't take him out, but Dave.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Dave.- I'll go for Dave.- We'll take him to the Question Room anyway.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18James and Dave into the Question Room, please.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So, James, do you want to go first or second?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Um, I'll go first I think.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30OK, first question, James.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34What was the last year in which John Major served as prime minister?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Well, Tony Blair came to power in '97, so,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45it'd follow that it was 1997.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It would indeed. That's the right answer.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50It does follow. And gives you a tick on the board.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So, Dave, which of these terms traditionally refers to
0:11:53 > 0:11:56an overwhelming victory for one party in an election?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01That's a landslide.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Landslide, which is of course what Tony Blair enjoyed in 1997.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Yes, it is.- Hanging together very nicely these pair of questions.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Right answer. Yes, landslide.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14James, what informal name was given in the early 21st century
0:12:14 > 0:12:19to certain trade unionists who opposed the policies of New Labour?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's not the Bullingdon Club
0:12:25 > 0:12:27cos that's...
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Oh, no, I think David Cameron
0:12:28 > 0:12:29was part of that, so...
0:12:29 > 0:12:31And he's definitely not in Labour.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- I'm going to for the Awkward Squad. - Awkward Squad.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39And you're right to do so. It's the right answer.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Ha! We're following a timeline here, aren't we?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44John Major lost the election to Tony Blair by a landslide
0:12:44 > 0:12:46and then got bedeviled by his Awkward Squad.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47I wonder what's coming next.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Something different.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Which international organisation, Dave,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55held its first summit meeting in Paris in 1957?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Well, NATO was founded in 1949 in Brussels,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04so I don't believe it's that.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Um...
0:13:07 > 0:13:08is it G-7 or was it...?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh, how long has G-7 been going?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I don't like it
0:13:15 > 0:13:17but I'm going to go OPEC.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18OPEC.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20It's not correct. No.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Other Eggheads?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- G-7?- No, NATO.- Really?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- NATO.- Never would've got that. Would not have gone for that.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31OK. Right. Well.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Big chance here then, James.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39From 1973, George W Bush attended which educational establishment?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I don't know this but UCLA doesn't seem right.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Just can't see him being in Los Angeles really.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Of the other two...
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I don't know. Did he do some kind of business?
0:13:59 > 0:14:00I don't know. Cornell.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I'll go for Cornell.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03OK, Cornell.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It was the Business School.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Harvard Business School.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It means you can
0:14:08 > 0:14:10get back in it, Dave.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Theresa May, who was appointed Home Secretary in 2010,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18worked for which institution from 1977 to 1983?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I can't recall anything about this at all,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28so it's going to be a complete guess.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Um...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I'll rule out London Transport and National Theatre
0:14:33 > 0:14:35and go for Bank Of England.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Bank Of England.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40It's the right answer, Dave. Yes.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Well done. OK.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Well, in we go
0:14:44 > 0:14:46into Sudden Death again.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Right, James, which senior politician's achievements include
0:14:50 > 0:14:54becoming the first female chairman of Oxford University's Labour Club?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I'm just trying to think if Harriet Harman's Labour.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I'll go for Harriet Harman.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Harriet Harman.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Clearly female and yes, very Labour
0:15:07 > 0:15:09but it's not Harriet Harman.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And, uh, don't necessarily have to remain Labour.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Given you a clue, Dave? Do you know?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Well, you've said that... I would have gone Mona first,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- but now you've said that, Shirley Williams.- Shirley Williams, yeah,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22who later of course went on to the SDP.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25So nothing there, which means you've got a chance here, Dave.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27"Tonton", meaning "uncle",
0:15:27 > 0:15:29and "Dieu", meaning "God",
0:15:29 > 0:15:34were nicknames of which French politician born in 1916?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I can't see any other reason for not going for Francois Mitterrand.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I'll go Francois Mitterrand.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Francois Mitterrand. What, the date fits, does it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I think so. It's around that time.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's the right answer, Dave.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48You've just won the round.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Matched the Egghead there, James, very, very closely.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Just lost out there to Dave.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55So, credit to you but no place in the final round.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01As it stands, E For Intelligent
0:16:01 > 0:16:02have lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04the Eggheads have lost one.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Will it be all square in that final round?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08This head-to-head will tell us.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It's Sport.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Who'd like to play this one?- Sport.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Two of you left.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Lawson or Jonny?
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Do you want me to take it?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Do you want to do it?- Yes.- OK. - I'll do it.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- I think Jonny.- I'll do it. - OK, Jonny.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23And you can choose from Barry or Pat here on the Eggheads' side.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Barry?- What do you reckon?- Yeah. - Barry.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27OK.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Let's have Jonny and Barry straight into the Question Room, please.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Jonny. Sport coming up for you.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42OK, Jonny, good luck. Here's your first question.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44In September 2013, it was announced that
0:16:44 > 0:16:48which city would host the 2020 Olympic Games?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Um... I'm pretty sure I know this one.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57I think Istanbul was the favourite, but then, cos of the rioting,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59that lost ground a bit.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00And I think...
0:17:00 > 0:17:03even though the Fukushima plant was...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07..causing some concern, I believe the answer is Tokyo.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Yes. Good and full answer. It's the right one as well. Tokyo.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Barry, which of these Formula One teams is based in Milton Keynes?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Ah, Formula One is not my favourite sport, I'm afraid.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I think it's the most boring sport in the world.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28All they ever do is go round in circles,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31which is just about what I'm doing at the moment.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Uh...
0:17:34 > 0:17:36It can't possibly be Ferrari.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Oh, Toro Rosso also means Red Bull.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Hmm.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I think it's Toro Rosso.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- No, it's not. It's Red Bull. - HE LAUGHS
0:17:46 > 0:17:49OK. Well, Jonny, off to a flying start.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Second question.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54The German footballer Mesut Ozil joined which club in 2013?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Yeah, I'm pretty confident with that one as well.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01His record signing.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03And he signed for Arsenal.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Arsenal is the right answer.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05All right.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Barry, as you know already,
0:18:08 > 0:18:09you need this.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13The Diamond League is a series of competitions in which sport?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Well, I'm reasonably certain I've seen some of these events
0:18:20 > 0:18:22and I believe they're in athletics.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24After that last answer you won't believe anything
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- going on in your head, will you, Barry?- Is it wrong?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28- No, it isn't.- Oh, gosh!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30HE LAUGHS You really had me worried there.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You really are doubting yourself. Right answer.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yeah, athletics. The Diamond League.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38But, Jonny, get into that final round straightaway
0:18:38 > 0:18:39with a correct answer here.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Which cyclist won the 2013 Tour Of Britain?
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Um, Cavendish is only a sprinter, so he wouldn't have won the whole thing.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I don't think Froome was in it cos he'd just done the Tour de France,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57so I'm going to say Bradley Wiggins.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Seem to know your cycling.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It is Sir Bradley Wiggins, the right answer.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Yes.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07And you sprint into the final round.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Bad luck, Barry. No place for you.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15And this is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16It's time for the final round,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:21 > 0:19:23won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26So, James and Joel from E For Intelligent
0:19:26 > 0:19:28and Barry and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30please leave the studio now.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33So, Lawson, Owen and Jonny,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35you're playing to win E For Intelligent £1,000.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Judith, Pat and Dave,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39you're playing for something which money cannot buy,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44So, as usual, I ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:19:46 > 0:19:48and you are allowed to confer.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49So, E For Intelligent,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55And Lawson, Owen and Jonny, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- First?- What do you want to do, lads? - Let's go first.- Yeah.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Yeah, we'll go first, please, Dermot.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05OK, well, some really good head-to-heads there.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Let's keep that performance going into the final round, guys.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Here you go.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Which of the following is the name of a vessel
0:20:11 > 0:20:14used for storing salt in the kitchen?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- I don't actually know that.- Food and drink knowledge should come in here.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I know, it should do, shouldn't it?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Salt dogs or badger?
0:20:24 > 0:20:25I don't think it's salt badger.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- THEY CONFER QUIETLY - Salt pig cos it's used to salt pork?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- A guess.- Maybe.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- I've no idea, so... - What do you reckon?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Salt pig?- Yeah, just go in the middle.- OK.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I think we are unsure actually,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43and so, I think we're going to take salt pig.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Salt pig.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Yeah, don't want to get the first one wrong.- Hmm.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49It's the right answer.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Salt pig.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Ooh.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55OK. A bit of a wobble there but got it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Eggheads, in 2013 it was announced that the National Trust
0:20:59 > 0:21:02would be giving tours of which TV venue?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Big Brother House definitely. - Big Brother House.- Are you sure?
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Yeah, it is. It's the Big Brother House.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- It prompted some letter writing. - Yeah, it did.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Definitely the Big Brother House.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I'm going to stop my subscription in that case.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19We're going for the Big Brother House.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Big Brother House.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It is the right answer.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Big Brother House.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26All square. Second question, E For Intelligent.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29What is conventionally said by a chess player
0:21:29 > 0:21:33before he or she adjusts a piece on the board?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Do you know French?- I've got some very schoolboy French, yes.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41And it doesn't involve any of that, no.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Do any of you play chess? That's more to the point.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I'm actually in the Leeds University chess society.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Oh, well, right.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Lawson, you've come along as well but it doesn't really help.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I lost to him. Um...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- I'm not sure.- It's not...
0:21:54 > 0:21:55THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- I'd say j'avance.- Yeah.- Like advance.- Yeah.- Shall we take that?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- I don't know.- We're going to take a stab at j'avance.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03J'avance.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Said before you adjust a piece on the board.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07It's not j'avance. It's incorrect.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09From the other two Eggheads, do you know?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- J'adoube.- J'adoube.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13OK. Well.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Nothing there. Will the Eggheads take the lead?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Which US president features on a US 20 bill?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I don't think Lyndon B Johnson...
0:22:25 > 0:22:26- No.- ..is on a bill.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- OK.- Let's eliminate him.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Is Cleveland on a bill?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Not sure.- I'm not sure Cleveland's on a bill.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Andrew Jackson is further back...
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Andrew Jackson was a general too, wasn't he?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39I think Jackson is on a bill.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- What do you think?- Andrew Jackson would be the one I'd go for
0:22:41 > 0:22:45because on an historical perspective in America
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- he would be...- There's no problem putting the soldiers on,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49then Grant's on one of the bills.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I know, but that's what I was thinking cos he was more of a hero
0:22:51 > 0:22:52to America.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55What have you got? You've got Lincoln and Washington obviously.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56- The obvious ones...- Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58..they're lower denominations.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01And Wilson and Franklin. I think...
0:23:01 > 0:23:02I think
0:23:02 > 0:23:03we've got to go Andrew Jackson.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- I think...- The most likely...yes.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06It rings some sort of bell.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- The other two don't. - Yeah, Andrew Jackson.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10We're going for Andrew Jackson.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12On the 20 bill.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14You do have that lead
0:23:14 > 0:23:16which means you must get this,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18E For Intelligent.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23The Daughters Of Mars is a 2012 novel by which Australian author?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Yes. Arts & Books is probably our least favourite subject, so
0:23:31 > 0:23:33it's not ideal.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Only a bit of it has come up.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- You know any of these?- I don't know any of the authors.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- I don't know who's Australian and who's not.- Um, OK.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- It could be any. - It could be any of them.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43If you had to choose one?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Thomas Keneally.- OK.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- OK.- I've no idea why I chose that.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Since Jonny said it in such an assuring way,
0:23:52 > 0:23:53I'm going to go for Thomas Keneally.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55OK, Thomas Keneally.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58And that's really the only thing you've got to hang that answer on,
0:23:58 > 0:23:59- isn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Saying it confidently.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Well, I can confidently tell you...
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- ..it's the right answer.- Ah!- Yes.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Go on!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08THEY LAUGH
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Well done. OK.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Well, the Eggheads have to face another question.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Eggheads, what name is usually given to the restoration
0:24:14 > 0:24:17of Henry VI to the throne of England?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- It could be either - reaffirmation of reassertion.- I...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Reaffirmation, but I don't know if that's related to him.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30No, I haven't heard this.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- I haven't either. - Reaffirmation is the one.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- You like reaffirmation? - Do you like reassertion?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- It's likely but I don't know. - DAVE LAUGHS
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I don't know. I've not heard the phrases in this context.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42You like reassertion. Why do you like that?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I'm inclined towards reaffirmation.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45If two of you have a feeling
0:24:45 > 0:24:46for reaffirmation,
0:24:46 > 0:24:47we'll go that way.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I haven't heard... I don't know much about this business.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Where have you got reassertion from?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54It's like a lady picking a white horse at the race track -
0:24:54 > 0:24:55there's no science to it.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- OK, well.- If both of you have a feeling for reaffirmation...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00But I don't know if it relates to that king.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Do you have an inkling about reassertion?- No.- No, go on. OK.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- So will I go for reaffirmation? - Yeah.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Ah, we're very unsure and we're going for reaffirmation.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10OK, reaffirmation.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I tell you what, for the first time ever in Eggheads,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I'll take both answers you were thinking of cos they're both wrong.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16It's readeption.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Oh, no. Really?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Never heard of it.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Readeption...- Readeption.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23So, obviously I didn't take both of those answers
0:25:23 > 0:25:26but reaffirmation or reassertion were both wrong,
0:25:26 > 0:25:27which is only two you were considering,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29and didn't think about readeption.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32So, we do go to Sudden Death.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33You are still in it.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Here's your Sudden Death question.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39"@Pontifex" is whose Twitter account?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41P-O-N-T-I-F-E-X.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44THE CONFER IN WHISPERS
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Um, I think we...
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Well, I think we think it is the Pope.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48The Pope?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50It is. Yes.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52@Pontifex.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53No doubt you're all keen followers.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Oh, yeah. Keen Catholics.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Eggheads, the last time you were facing a question
0:25:58 > 0:25:59was to try to win it.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02This is to try and keep your hopes alive.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06A Grimbarian is someone who comes from which British town?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Grimsby's obviously got to be the... - Grimsby's...
0:26:08 > 0:26:10They've got to be the...
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- It's the most obvious one. - Grimsby is what you think?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Yeah, but there's only... - The most obvious one.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- The most obvious one, isn't it? - Can we think of any others?- No.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I can't think of anything else. I think we're overthinking it if we...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Personally.- OK.- OK.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25We're going to put our faith in Grimsby.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27That's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Another question for you, E For Intelligent.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Which cartoonist designed the Royal Mail stamps
0:26:32 > 0:26:37which commemorated the 1986 appearance of Halley's Comet?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- THEY CONFER IN WHISPERS - Famous cartoon.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- The guy that it...Spike Milligan? - Was it?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Yeah?- I don't know. Was he a cartoonist?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- I don't...- Or did he do films?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I can't... I have no idea.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- I'm pretty sure it's a cartoon... - Go for it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- That's cos it's the only cartoonist you can think of?- Yeah.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- OK. Shall we take it?- Yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58- Let's do it.- OK.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03- We're going to go for Spike Milligan. - Spike Milligan. OK.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05No, it's not Spike Milligan. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Gerald Scarfe?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Ralph Steadman. Not Spike Milligan.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Not a bad guess but, Eggheads, another chance.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Eggheads, which screenwriter created the character Professor Quatermass?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18All I've got is Nigel Kneale.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Go for that?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Nigel Kneale.- I've nothing. - That's all I've got - Nigel Kneale.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26OK, we're going to go with Dave's Nigel Kneale.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Nigel Kneale.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31OK, well, Dave pulled it out of the fire.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32And you've got it, Dave.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Nigel Kneale is correct, which means you've won.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I heard you saying good game.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It really was a tremendous game, wasn't it, Eggheads?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45- Yeah.- Really tested you all.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49And, Dave, really rising to the challenge there I thought.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51But listen, guys, you did tremendously.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Level pegging in the final round.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Some of those head-to-heads were very, very close, so bad luck.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Thank you very much for giving the Eggheads such a good game today
0:27:59 > 0:28:00but it just wasn't to be.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05They reign supreme over Quizland once again.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I'm afraid you won't be going home with £1,000.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10That means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11So join us next time
0:28:11 > 0:28:12to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:12 > 0:28:15have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17£2,000 says they don't.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Until then, goodbye.
