0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The 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 taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths
0:00:34 > 0:00:36today are the Short Planks.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41This team are all members of the Friends of the Gambia Association.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43That's a charity who primarily coordinate
0:00:43 > 0:00:47sponsorship for the education of students in the Gambia. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Hello. I'm Violet. I'm 64 and I'm a retired psychology lecturer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi. I'm Jim. I'm 67. I'm a retired design engineer.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello. I'm Rob. I'm 70 and I'm a retired prison governor.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Alhaji. I'm 44 and I'm a nurse.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi. I'm Martin. I'm 33. I'm an architectural technician.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Welcome to you, Short Planks. Tell me about the work of the charity.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Sounds like it's marvellous work you do.- It is marvellous work.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19We have all holidayed in the Gambia and two of the members here
0:01:19 > 0:01:23today were instrumental in starting the charity over 20 years ago.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Just with a view to helping the lovely people of the Gambia.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28We are Friends of the Gambia.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Any idea how many students you have helped over the years?
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Nearly 200 currently and lots over the years and the two young
0:01:36 > 0:01:39ladies that run our office are actually old FOTG girls.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Friends of the Gambia.- Got it now!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44OK. Welcome to you, Short Planks.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Every day, there's £1,000 up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Short Planks, the Eggheads have won the last nine games,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58so now, that means £10,000...
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Oh, that'll do!- ..says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03£10,000 at stake.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Let's start the game and we open up our first round
0:02:06 > 0:02:07and it's a Sport round.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Who'd like to play this for the Short Planks?- Oh!- I'll step back!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I suppose I'd better take that one, hadn't I?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Yes, Martin's our sports chap. - Great!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19OK, Martin, who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- I think I'll take on Judith, please.- Thought you might!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25THEY CHUCKLE
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Let's have Martin and Judith, then, on the opening round
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and into the Question Room with you both, please.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Martin, I know you raise a lot of money through your charity runs.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Tell me about the kit you choose and where you've been running.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I always try and run in a specialist made sport kilt.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45It came about a couple of years ago.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50I entered a race in the Sahara Desert, which was a seven-day
0:02:50 > 0:02:54multi-day challenge where you have to be self-sufficient for that
0:02:54 > 0:02:56time as well and, a couple of months beforehand,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I joined a run out in the West Highland Way where
0:03:00 > 0:03:04a number of us ran in sport kilts, basically to try and get a Guinness
0:03:04 > 0:03:07world record, but unfortunately they wouldn't accept it.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10But I enjoyed the experience so much, it's stuck since then.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Fantastic stuff!
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I can see why you're playing the sports round as well.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Let's start, shall we? Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19I'll go first, please.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24OK, best of luck, Martin.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27In snooker, which coloured ball is worth five points?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31The blue.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Yes, it is. Well potted!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:03:34 > 0:03:38And, Judith, in which year did Ian Botham first play Test match
0:03:38 > 0:03:40cricket for England?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Um... I don't know whether it's '77 or '87. Um...
0:03:48 > 0:03:51He's been retired for a long time now, hasn't he?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I imagine he must be about 60.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Um...
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I should think it's '87, actually, after all that.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00OK.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03It's '77, as you were originally probably were going for.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Oh, the maths! Can't ever do maths.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09OK! Well, it's good news for Martin, a 1-0 lead.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Will it become 2-0 here?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Martin, the Rugby Union international Jeremy Guscott
0:04:15 > 0:04:17usually played in which position?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I don't think it was... It was either centre or full back.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Um...
0:04:25 > 0:04:29I think I'm going to have to... I'm going to have to go with full back.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I'm sure he played it occasionally,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34but he usually played in the centre.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Centre for Jeremy Guscott. Is it a let-off for Judith?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Your second question, Judith.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Which boxer extended his unbeaten record
0:04:43 > 0:04:49to 45 fights in September 2013 when he defeated Saul Alvarez?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I think Manny Pacquiao is retired. Um...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00He's become a politician, or something.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I think it might be Floyd Mayweather.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Floyd Mayweather. It is! Well done, Judith. You're right back in it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11OK, all square. Martin, third question.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15In 1990, tennis player Pete Sampras became the youngest ever
0:05:15 > 0:05:18winner of which Grand Slam singles tournament?
0:05:21 > 0:05:26I think it's going to have to be a bit of an educated guess here.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Sampras' name just has to go with everything to do with Wimbledon,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32so...
0:05:32 > 0:05:35But was it the US Open? Um... I think I'm going
0:05:35 > 0:05:38to have to go with Wimbledon cos he seems to have most records there.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40So, Wimbledon, please.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43OK, youngest ever winner of...Wimbledon...
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Hm, there's one Mr Becker, remember. So it's not Wimbledon.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Judith, do you know?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- I don't know. Australian Open.- No! US Open.- The other one.- Yes.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55There we are. US Open, wasn't your question.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59So, well, this could be quite a turnaround
0:05:59 > 0:06:02after those opening questions. Judith, you can win the round
0:06:02 > 0:06:03if you give me a right answer here.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Tirunesh Dibaba has won three World Championship gold medals
0:06:07 > 0:06:11and two Olympic gold medals in which athletics event?
0:06:16 > 0:06:22I imagine he must be Ethiopian, so it's 10,000 metres or Marathon.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Er... T Dibaba...
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- I think it might be Marathon. - OK. Marathon?- Yeah.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31It's the other one.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- It is 10,000 metres.- Oh, God! - And, er, just to clear it all up,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Tirunesh Dibaba is a woman.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43- Oh! Well, SHE is Ethiopian, then. - Yeah, er...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- SHE LAUGHS - OK, well, it stays all square
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and we go into Sudden Death to try to sort out a winner, Martin,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53and that means we remove those options. Here you go.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57The golfer, Adam Scott, winner of the 2013 US Masters,
0:06:57 > 0:06:58was born in which country?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Well, having been a keen golfer from our young age, I've watched
0:07:01 > 0:07:05a lot of golf, I'm pretty confident that it is Australia.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- It is, yes.- Oh, yes! - CHEERING
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Right up your street, then.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14OK, Judith, the Rugby Union player David Sole
0:07:14 > 0:07:20captained which side to victory in the 1990 Five Nations tournament?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Um... New Zealand.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- No! That's not even Five Nations. - JUDITH LAUGHS
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Er, no. I mean, Five Nations has become Six Nations,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31but they still haven't let New Zealand in, nor ever will.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Oh, God! Oh, God! I was thinking... - Five Nations? Six Nations?- Oh!- Yeah.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Can you tell me, Martin? I'd say you might know?- Oh!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Well, I certainly wouldn't have said New Zealand.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- LAUGHTER Um...- We know that.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I probably would have gone for Ireland?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Hmm, well, interesting, given what we've discussed about kilts.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- It's Scotland.- Oh! - David Sole was captain of Scotland
0:07:53 > 0:07:55in that 1990 side. Anyway,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57no matter, it means you are through to the final round, Martin.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Well done. No place for you, Judith.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Well, The Short Planks triumphing there
0:08:07 > 0:08:09means one Egghead's missing from the final round.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12None of them gone yet from The Short Planks.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15OK, our second round coming up right now is History.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Who'd like to play this? History.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Oh, we have strategy, we have a strategy.- Shall I take that?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Rob, yes, please.- Off you go. - I'll take History.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Good man, Rob. Now which Egghead would you like to play?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Any of the other four, apart from Judith?- I think Dave.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- OK.- Dave? Fair enough.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Let's have Rob and Dave into the Question Room, please.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39OK, let's play the round, shall we? It's History.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Best of luck, Rob, here you go.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50How many children did King George VI have?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Well, King George VI is the Queen's father, so it is, er,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Elizabeth and Margaret, so it's two.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It certainly is, yeah.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Two.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Two girls.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07And Dave, the armies of Genghis Khan
0:09:07 > 0:09:10conquered vast areas of which continent?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Er, Asia.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Yes, both very easily off the mark. Rob, second question.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Which of these historical figures died at the Battle of the Alamo?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Well, I remember, er, watching the film some years ago.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35It's not Pat Garrett and I'm sure it's James Bowie.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yeah, James Bowie, you're absolutely right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Well, second question for you, Dave.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45Who was King of England from 1377 to 1399?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Right, it's not Henry II.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Having total brain freeze here. Let me think when Richard II was.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- It's 1377 to 1399? - Yeah, it hasn't changed.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- 1377 to 1399. - DAVE LAUGHS
0:10:07 > 0:10:09DAVE SIGHS
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Right, I'll go for...Richard II.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It's the right answer, Dave.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15- HE LAUGHS - Sorry!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19OK, well, you got it in the end. OK, Richard II there.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Right, all square, both going really well.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27Rob, what type of medieval weapon was a misericord?
0:10:29 > 0:10:34M-I-S-E-R-I-C-O-R-D.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Um... Well, this will be a complete guess.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41I'm just trying to work out what sort of fits in with that.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I don't think it sounds like a spear or a dagger.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48It's probably something a bit more vicious, like an axe.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- I shall go for axe. - Axe, OK, yeah, for a misericord.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- It's not. Do you know, Dave? - I would've gone spear.- Spear, right.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Dagger it is.- Oh, right!
0:10:59 > 0:11:00LAUGHTER
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So neither of you got that, but, Dave,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05you can get to the final round if you give me a correct answer.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07The Lion Mound is
0:11:07 > 0:11:10an artificial hill overlooking which famous battlefield?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Right, I can only go off what I thought.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19It's probably the wrong instinct, but I'll go Agincourt.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24OK, Agincourt, for the Lion Mound, an artificial hill overlooking...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Waterloo.- Mm-hm!
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Not Agincourt. All right, well, wasn't identified by Dave,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34so we go to Sudden Death again and, Rob, here's your question.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Which British explorer, who shares his name with a famous Welsh actor,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41is believed to have been the first European
0:11:41 > 0:11:43to see Africa's Lake Tanganyika?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Well, the only explorer I could think of
0:11:46 > 0:11:50that shares a name with a Welsh actor is Richard Burton.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52And that's the right answer. Well done.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Yes! Well done!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Dave, which of Henry VIII's wives
0:11:58 > 0:12:02did he refer to as his rose without a thorn?
0:12:02 > 0:12:07I really don't know. I'm thinking... Yeah, I've got to go Jane Seymour.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11OK, Jane Seymour, of course, one of his favourites,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13if not his favourite wife.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15But not the right answer.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Other Eggheads? - CJ: I don't know.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19I think they were going with you there, Dave.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- KEVIN: Yeah. - They all thought Jane Seymour.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23- Catherine Howard. - JUDITH LAUGHS
0:12:23 > 0:12:26A rose without a thorn, so not very good on that, Eggheads.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28That's great news again for The Short Planks.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Another one through to the final round. That's Rob there.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Rob, you're in the final round. Dave, you won't be.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Would you both please come back and join your teams?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Short Planks, we have to reinvent that phrase where you get your name.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Doing really well, quizzing brilliantly.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Two Eggheads gone from the final round and you're all standing.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50So, er, let's play our third round and this one is Film & Television,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- so who'd like to play this? - THEY SIGH
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Do you know, I think that's me. LAUGHTER
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I noticed where you didn't look anywhere else.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- You just absorbed the enormity of the task.- Yeah.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Who would you like to play, Violet?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Remember that Dave and Judith have played,
0:13:05 > 0:13:09so you can play either CJ, Kevin or Pat.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13My favourite's Pat. He's bound to beat me, but he's my favourite.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- HE LAUGHS:- OK. So you'd just like to meet him up close and personal
0:13:16 > 0:13:17- in the Question Room, then?- Oh!- OK.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Let's have Violet and Pat into the Question Room, please.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Right, Violet, let's play this Film & Television round.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33OK, good luck, Violet, here you are.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Which character does Robert De Niro play in the film Raging Bull?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Oh, this is really sad, but I have not seen Raging Bull.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Travis Bickle? Oh, no! I think...
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Jake LaMotta? Mmm.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57SHE SIGHS: I'm going to go down the middle to Veto Corleone.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01OK. All Robert De Niro roles.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04But that's from The Godfather.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Jake LaMotta is Raging Bull. - OK.- Jake LaMotta.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10And, Pat...
0:14:10 > 0:14:14where was the TV police drama The Bill set?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I don't watch a great many soaps, um,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23but The Bill was on its way to being a soap and I was a loyal watcher
0:14:23 > 0:14:26for many years and it all took place in Sun Hill.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Yes, it did. OK, back to you, Violet.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Let's get you on surer ground with this, I hope.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33In which decade was the BBC television series
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Howard's Way first broadcast?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I think it was all around Southampton.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44And so, if it's what I'm thinking it is,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46then it would've been in the 1970s.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49OK, '70s for Howard's Way.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51We did ask when it was first broadcast,
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- but it was the '80s, the 1980s. - OK.- Bad luck, Violet. Er, Pat,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59your second question and a chance to win the round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02What is the profession of Sandra Bullock's character
0:15:02 > 0:15:03in the 2013 film The Heat?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10I think this is a buddy movie with women.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14And I think she's teamed up with a maverick partner.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I think she's an FBI agent.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19An FBI agent, for Sandra Bullock in The Heat.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23It is the right answer, Pat. You have struck back for the Eggheads.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Bad luck, Violet.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Just went awry there with the first one
0:15:27 > 0:15:30and I think it put you at sixes and sevens, really, didn't it?
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Wrong set of questions.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Well, at least you got to meet Pat there in the Question Room.- Yes!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36So something good that came out of it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Let's have you both back, though, into the studio, please.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Well, the Eggheads fighting back. As it stands, The Short Planks have
0:15:44 > 0:15:46now lost their first brain from the final round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49The Eggheads have lost those two.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Well, can you snuff that fight back out
0:15:51 > 0:15:54in round four? Our last head-to-head before the final round. It's Music.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And we've got Jim or Alhaji there who can play it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Music.- Um, well, our strategy is...- Alhaji?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Yes, Alhaji.- OK?- OK, yeah. - Stick to the strategy?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- Music, yeah. Definitely. - You'll play, Alhaji.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Now who would you like to play from the Eggheads?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12There are only two of them left who you can play. It's CJ or Kevin.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Kevin.- Kevin, OK.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Let's have Alhaji and Kevin into the Question Room, please.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Alhaji, do you want to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27And best of luck, first question is this.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Which of these pieces of music was composed by Richard Wagner?
0:16:35 > 0:16:42Hmm, to be honest, I'm not very much into Richard Wagner's music, um...
0:16:42 > 0:16:46My answer here is purely the best guess.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Um, I think I'll go with William Tell Overture.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52OK, the William Tell Overture by Wagner?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56It's not, Alhaji. Kevin?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- It's, er, Ride of the Valkyries. - It is the Ride of the Valkyries.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02So, let's see what Kevin does with his first one.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Kevin, which UK hit single features the lines,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09"What's the sense in sharing this one and only life,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12"ending up just another lost and lonely wife"?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I'm trying to... trying to place that, um...
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Your delivery's not exactly conjuring it up for me,
0:17:23 > 0:17:24in terms of rhythm and melody, so...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- HE LAUGHS - Um...
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I'm not sure, actually, but I'll try I Will Survive.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- No.- OK, I Will Survive.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Dave?- Young Hearts Run Free.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Young Hearts Run Free, Kevin. - Is it?- Yeah.- OK, sorry.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41It's Young Hearts Run Free.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43That's good news, Alhaji. Stays all square.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- OK.- And your second question.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Baba O'Riley is a famous song by which band?
0:17:52 > 0:17:57Um... This is another difficult question again...
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I think, in this case, um, I'll go with Queen.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03OK. Queen for Baba O'Riley?
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Please.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's not the right answer. Do you know, Kevin?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- It's The Who.- It is The Who..
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Baba O'Riley. OK, well, Kevin, your second question.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Luther Billis, Commander William Harbison
0:18:15 > 0:18:19and Captain George Brackett are characters in which stage musical?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I don't think it's The King and I, um...
0:18:26 > 0:18:30There are military aspects to both of the others,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32but I think I'll go for South Pacific.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34It's the right answer, yes.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38So we've got the first point on the board after four questions.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Right, well, it means you need to get this, Alhaji.- Definitely.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Which of the five original members
0:18:44 > 0:18:46of the band One Direction is the youngest?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Ah, I must get this right. Um...
0:18:53 > 0:18:58I think I will definitely go with, um, Harry Styles.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Harry Styles?- Yeah.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Violet's holding her breath. You can breathe again!
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- It's the right answer. - Yes! Whoo! Well done! Woo-hoo!
0:19:07 > 0:19:09All right, well done!
0:19:09 > 0:19:12OK, but let's hope Kevin doesn't get this.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Kevin, what was the real first name of the jazz musician
0:19:16 > 0:19:17known as Jelly Roll Morton?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Yes, he had quite a... Well, he was from New Orleans anyway, so there's
0:19:23 > 0:19:27a sort of partly French heritage in there and I think his real name was
0:19:27 > 0:19:32something like Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe, er, so it's Ferdinand.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Ferdinand, the real first name of Jelly Roll Morton.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It is the correct answer, Kevin,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41as you clearly knew, which means bad luck,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Alhaji, you're not going to be in the final round.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Kevin, you'll be there. Please come back and join your teams.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49And so, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51It's time for the final round,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:19:55 > 0:19:58won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01so Violet and Alhaji from The Short Planks,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03And Judith and Dave from the Eggheads,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05would you leave the studio now, please?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09So, Jim, Rob and Martin, you are playing to win The Short Planks
0:20:09 > 0:20:11£10,000.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Pat, Kevin and CJ, you are playing for something money cannot buy -
0:20:15 > 0:20:17the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23This time, the questions are all General Knowledge
0:20:23 > 0:20:25and you are allowed to confer in this round.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27That's the big difference.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29So, Short Planks, the question is
0:20:29 > 0:20:32are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Jim, Rob and Martin, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37We'd like to go first, please.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Let's play the final round. First question, then, Short Planks.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Never Go Back, released in 2013,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51is the 18th book featuring which literary hero?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- It's not a Bond book, is it? - No, not Bond, definitely not, no.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Heading towards Jack Reacher, I think.- Do you think?- Yeah.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Is that a feeling you have? - Yeah, pretty sure it's Jack Reacher.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I've not heard of the other two.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Jason Bourne...- I've heard of it, but I haven't read them.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Bourne Legacy and things like that. - Jack Reacher, then?- Yeah.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Jack Reacher is our answer, Dermot.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20OK, ruled out Bond, didn't think it was Bourne
0:21:20 > 0:21:24and ended up with Jack Reacher, the correct answer. Well done.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Eggheads, your first question.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Which of these alcoholic drinks
0:21:28 > 0:21:31is traditionally used in a White Russian cocktail?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Vodka.- That'll be vodka then.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- OK with vodka? - If you think it's vodka.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41I think all the Russian cocktails are vodka, aren't they?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- I think so, yeah.- It's not tequila or gin, so it's vodka.- Yeah.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48We believe that is vodka, Dermot.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Yes, indeed, it's vodka, of course. OK.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Short Planks,
0:21:52 > 0:21:56which celebrity had her Las Vegas marriage to Jason Alexander
0:21:56 > 0:22:02annulled after approximately 55 hours in 2004?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I think it's got to be Britney Spears.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Yeah, I can remember something. - She's definitely done that.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Definitely wasn't Carmen Electra. I don't think she's been married.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- So it's got to be Britney Spears. - I'd go Britney Spears.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19That's good enough. OK.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Right, we believe it's Britney Spears, Dermot.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26OK, Britney Spears. It is, well done.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Two, doing very well. - So far, so good.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Eggheads, which large member of the weasel family
0:22:31 > 0:22:33is also known as the carcajou?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Neither of the others are weasels.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42The wolverine's the only weasel.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43- Yeah?- Yeah.- Wolverine.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Er, on the basis we think it's the only weasel, we'll try wolverine.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Yes, it is. Wolverine is correct. Two all.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Well, Short Planks,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54very important question for you.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Millionaire playboy Oliver Queen
0:22:57 > 0:23:00is the alter ego of which comic book hero?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I'm tempted to look at Green Arrow.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- You're more likely to know comic books.- Deadpool, no idea. Aquaman...
0:23:12 > 0:23:17- No. Green Arrow was fairly recent. - You've done this on your own,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- you're going to be the one man... - It's not right yet.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- It's definitely not Deadpool. - I was going to say Batman.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It's got to be Green Arrow.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- That would be my shout.- My younger colleague here is convinced
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- it's Green Arrow.- OK, Green Arrow.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35You can breathe again, Violet, it is the right answer.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39You should see the agony Violet's going through there.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Green Arrow, Martin playing a blinder so far.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Right, well, will that be the question that wins you the money?
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Eggheads, what is the approximate distance in air miles
0:23:51 > 0:23:54from Perth in Western Australia to Sydney in New South Wales?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Oh, it's difficult. - More than 1,000, I would think.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09I don't think Australia is as wide as the US, so I think 3,000 might be
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- a little too much. - US is about 3,000, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17So, basically, do we think Perth to Sydney, point to point,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19is about 1,800 miles or 2,800 miles?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- I think 2,000.- I think 2,000.- OK.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30We are going to try 2,045 miles, please.
0:24:30 > 0:24:352,045 miles from Perth to Sydney.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It's the right answer, yes.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Well, OK, a lot of work to do.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43A lot of good work done there, Short Planks,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45we're into Sudden Death again. So here you go.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48For what does the letter S stand
0:24:48 > 0:24:53in the US intelligence agency known as the NSA?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56The National Security Agency.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58That would have to be what I would go for.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Sounds too obvious, doesn't it, but it's got to be.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- It's been in the news recently. - It's got to be.- Has it? Yeah.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07We believe that it's Security.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I heard you saying there National Security Agency is its full name.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14That's correct, yes, well done. NSA.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16And Security is the S. So, Eggheads,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18which city in New York State
0:25:18 > 0:25:22derives its name from the Dutch for "young gentlemen"?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Yonkers.- Oh, Yonkers, yeah.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Yeah, that's Dutch.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29"Yon" is from "yonge", which is "young".
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Yeah, just outside New York, it's part of New Amsterdam.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Yeah?- That sounds fine.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37We think that's Yonkers.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Yes, it is Yonkers.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41OK, another pair of questions.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Short Planks, Pedro Passos Coelho
0:25:44 > 0:25:49became prime minister of which country in 2011?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Um...- What's your gut telling you?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Really, I don't know. I mean, I would guess Spain as much as anywhere else,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59but I can't think. I mean...
0:26:00 > 0:26:01..places like...
0:26:01 > 0:26:04well, the Spanish-speaking world.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08If it's Spanish rather than Portuguese, it's the whole of...
0:26:08 > 0:26:13the west coast of South America, plus Central America and...
0:26:13 > 0:26:17And then you've got the Philippines and you've got Spain.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- Are you thinking Spain, or...? - No, I don't know.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I really don't know. Say a country, I don't know.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I...
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- Ecuador came to me, but it's a bit of punt.- Sorry, which one?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Ecuador. But it's a bit of a punt. - Shall we try it?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Unless...if anyone else has any ideas.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I mean, it's just pot luck, as far as I can see.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Try it.- We're going to try Ecuador.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42OK, Ecuador.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Been right around the Spanish-speaking world there
0:26:45 > 0:26:48trying to work this man out.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52And it's not Spanish. That's what led you astray.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53It's Portugal.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Portugal. OK, right, well,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58a chance for the Eggheads then.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02In aviation, for what did the letter O stand in BOAC,
0:27:02 > 0:27:07the British state airline established in 1939?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Overseas.- I think it's Overseas, yeah.- British Overseas.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Nothing else, is there?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15British Overseas Air Co, isn't it?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well, Airways Corporation, but it's Overseas.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20With the S on the end?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Yeah, with the S on the end.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Um, Overseas.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26You're saying Overseas?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29BOAC stands for British...
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Overseas Airways Corporation, it's the right answer.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Eggheads, you've won.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Bad luck, Short Planks. You know how well you played, don't you?
0:27:43 > 0:27:44You really did well there.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47That was a great final round performance.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Steamed through into the Sudden Death
0:27:50 > 0:27:53and then just couldn't work out that Portuguese prime minister.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57It's been great meeting you. We've had great chats about the charity work you do.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Best of luck with that for the future, and thank you once again
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- for giving the Eggheads such a good game today.- Thank you.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06But the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:06 > 0:28:07and their winning streak continues.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I'm afraid you won't go home with the £10,000.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12That means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16So, Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:20 > 0:28:24to defeat the Eggheads. £11,000 says they don't. Until then, goodbye.
