0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:31possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- They are the Eggheads. Are you feeling quizzy today?- Yes, very.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36As always.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today are Radiola.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Now, this team of friends all know
0:00:41 > 0:00:43one another through the same
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Glasgow-based band called, yes, Radiola. So let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I am Colin and I'm an IT consultant.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm James and I'm a sales assistant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm David and I'm a controls engineer.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm David and I'm a mechanical design engineer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Dave and I'm a software developer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- So, Colin, team, welcome. Good to see you. TEAM:- Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Colin, tell us about Radiola. What's in the name?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Radiola is an old kind of radio set.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15So we love old music, so it's an old kind of radio set, like Victrola.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18You've heard of that, it's maybe more famous. So we thought that
0:01:18 > 0:01:20was a good name and it's kind of cool word as well.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Cos the band harks back to some old music, does it?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Yeah, we prefer a kind of music to be an older kind of style, yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And country-based, is it?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Yeah, we struggle to know what to call it but, yeah,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33alternative country rock or something like that.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35All right. Well, good luck here.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for our Challengers.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls
0:01:41 > 0:01:43over to the next show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So, Challengers, the Eggheads have won the last eight games.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I think they are on... What do we call it? It's a roll,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- it's more than a roll.- Streak. - They're on a streak.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So that means £9,000 is here for you to win today.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Would you like to give it a go? - Yes.- Absolutely.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Which one of you would like Politics?
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- Politics.- What are we thinking? - Who did we decide?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I'm not sure about that. - Is it lamb to the slaughter time?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14THEY LAUGH
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Are you ready?- Surely not. - Will I go for it?- James?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- OK, who am I going to go against? - James.- OK, James from Radiola.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Which Egghead? You can have anyone of the five.- Take on Chris?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Yeah, fine.- OK, Chris.- I hear you.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31All right, James from Radiola versus Chris the Shunter,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35as he's known, because of his train background. Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Please, both of you, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:38 > 0:02:39take your positions in our Question Room.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Politics, James, your choice. Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Here we go. Good luck against Chris.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Which of these was a nickname of Abraham Lincoln?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Oh, that's quite good, I was slightly worried, but we're into
0:03:02 > 0:03:05the first question with one that I know the answer to.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06It was Honest Abe.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Honest Abe is quite right, well done.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Over to Chris.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Which of these politicians was born first, Chris?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Well, Ed Balls and Harriet Harman
0:03:19 > 0:03:22are much the same generation, aren't they? But Vince Cable,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24he's the Lib Dem business guy and he's...
0:03:25 > 0:03:28He can't be far off my age, so it's Vince Cable.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Vince Cable is the right answer, well done. So one each.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Back to you, James.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38In 2010, Andrew Cuomo was elected governor of which US state?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Andrew Cuomo?- Cuomo. C-U-O-M-O.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47That is not a name that I am
0:03:47 > 0:03:49familiar with in any way, shape or form but...
0:03:51 > 0:03:54For no good reason, I am going to go with Georgia.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58OK, it's the wrong answer, I'm afraid.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I think, and I'll check with the Eggheads, the way to this is
0:04:00 > 0:04:04through Mario Cuomo, who was his dad, who was New York.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05- Is that correct?- Yes.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Who famously weighed up maybe trying to become president and would he,
0:04:09 > 0:04:14wouldn't he? Seemed to go on for ever. Had a famous phrase, didn't he?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Something very famous about politics.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18"Campaign in poetry and you govern in prose."
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- That's what he said.- That's rather good.- And he died recently.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- He was the Hamlet of the Hudson. - The Hamlet, exactly.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Because he was a man who couldn't make up his mind whether
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- to run or not.- Exactly. That's right, the Hamlet of the Hudson.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31"To be or not to be?"
0:04:31 > 0:04:32OK, Chris,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34your question to take the lead.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37The American marine Colonel Oliver North was at
0:04:37 > 0:04:41the centre of a political scandal known as the Iran-Contra affair
0:04:41 > 0:04:42in which decade?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50It was when Ronny Reagan was president. It was the 1980s.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52It was indeed the 1980s.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54OK, so he's in the lead,
0:04:54 > 0:04:55James.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- You need to get this one right or you are out.- OK.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Which Prime Minister of the UK had a wife named Clarissa?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13It's another one I'm not...not massively familiar with.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17I'll go for Harold Wilson.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Chris, do you know this? - I think it was Anthony Eden.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Anthony Eden is the correct answer. James, sorry.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So no way back for you in this round. Chris has taken it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Chris will be in the final and you've been knocked out.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32But it's early days. Please come back, rejoin your teams.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33We'll play on.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36As it stands, Radiola have lost a brain,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38but there is no cause to panic.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40If it was an onstage moment, this would be like,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42just the guitars cut out for a few seconds.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Don't worry, keep playing. That's the crucial thing.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47The Eggheads have lost none.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49And the next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Who would like this?- Arts & Books.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Arts & Books.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- Dave?- Dave.- Are you sure? I thought we decided Colin but...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Everyone is called Dave, so I'm struggling to work out which one.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- What were we thinking? One of the Daves, Dave S.- I'll...take it?
0:06:06 > 0:06:12- You want to go for it? Yeah, OK. Dave S.- Dave S.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Who would you like to play? - Barry.- Barry.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18We're going to go for Barry.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22OK. So it is Dave S from Radiola versus Barry from the Eggheads,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25who definitely does read a lot. How many books have you got at home?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Oh, thousands.- Didn't you say 7,000? - Something like that.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33He hasn't read them all, don't worry. It's mainly just interior design.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36So to ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Arts & Books, Dave S. Do you want to go first or second?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I'll go first, thank you.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Here is your question, good luck.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50In which type of institution is the Stephen King story
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Rita Hayworth And The Shawshank Redemption set?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01That is set in a prison.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Prison is quite right, yes. And the film was set there too.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Barry, your question.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10The Entertainer is a 1957 play by which author?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Yes, an excellent play, and I believe it is by John Osborne.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24That's the correct answer. OK, back to you, Dave S.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Which of these is a line from Shakespeare's Hamlet?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Um...
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I'm fairly sure "A plague on both your houses" is
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Romeo and Juliet.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And I think "Let slip the dogs of war"
0:07:45 > 0:07:47is from one of the Richards.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51So I'm going to go with "The lady doth protest too much."
0:07:51 > 0:07:53"The lady doth protest too much" is indeed from Hamlet.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Well done, Dave S. Good. Very good indeed. Two out of two.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Back to Barry.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Which of these is the title of a famous ode by John Keats?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I'm just trying to remember how it goes.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11"Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness."
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I think it's to autumn.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16To autumn is correct.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19So, two each. It's tight.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Get this one right, put him under some pressure, Dave.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26In which year was the American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat born?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Um, I think I may have been reading about him recently.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37If it's the same person I'm thinking of,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41it will probably be 1960.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Well, you're bang on with the date, well done. 1960. Very impressive.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Barry,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49your question to stay in.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Get this wrong and you are toast.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55The fraudster Augustus Melmotte
0:08:55 > 0:08:59is a central character in which novel by Anthony Trollope?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I have heard the name Augustus Melmotte.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11And because I've heard of the name, I'll associate it with probably
0:09:11 > 0:09:14the most famous of those, and I'll go for Barchester Towers.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Barchester Towers. If you have got this wrong, you're out.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Let's see. Any Challengers know this?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Dave S, you've been playing well. Do you know this?- I don't.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- What about Eggs? Pat knows it. - The Way We Live Now.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Very close to my heart. It was the answer which made me an Egghead.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Oh, tell me why. What happened?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32My final question was to do with the book The Way We Live Now
0:09:32 > 0:09:34and Augustus Melmotte.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37OK. And, Judith, you said it as well. In fact, you all said it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Barry, they all said it here. - They all said what?- David Suchet.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- They all said The Way We Live Now. - In the television thing.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Hang on, Judith is telling us something. Wait a second.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48In the television, it was David Suchet who played him.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51In the TV adaptation, it was David Suchet, if that helps,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53who played Augustus Melmotte.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56But I am sorry, Barry, you've been knocked out by Dave S.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58You played a good game there, Dave, well done.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02You can... You can look pleased, if you want.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- It's not against the rules.- Relieved.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Please come back to us, both of you. We'll play on.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10All right. Well done, Dave S.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13And you took him apart like a surgeon there.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17I mean, you were totally impassive. So they've lost a brain.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19The Eggheads have lost a brain too.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22They lost Barry, who's in some kind of personal crisis now.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24And the next subject is Food & Drink.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Who would like this?
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Food & Drink.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Who's good with food and drink?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I'll take it?- I think you'd probably be better at it than I am.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- I'll give it a go. - You love your food and drink.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39You're more of a foodie, I would say.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Going with Dave. - All right with that? Yes.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Another David, you don't say?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Dave M against which Egghead?
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- Leave it up to you. What do you think? CJ?- CJ.- He's a vegetarian.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I think CJ may have forgotten what food is.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I was hoping to before you said that.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04So it is Dave M from Radiola and CJ from the Eggheads on Food & Drink.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- And on this famous diet you're on at the moment. It's no secret.- Yes.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11And to ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16So would you like to go first or second on Food & Drink, Dave?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I think I'll stick with the programme and go first.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Your first question on Food & Drink, Dave, here it is. Good luck.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28What type of food is celeriac?
0:11:31 > 0:11:37I think I remember seeing that in the vegetable aisle in supermarket.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Yeah I think I might go with vegetable.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Vegetable is correct.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46CJ,
0:11:46 > 0:11:51the classic recipe for the confectionery nougat contains
0:11:51 > 0:11:54egg whites, honey and which of these ingredients?
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Certainly be an interesting recipe
0:11:58 > 0:12:03if it had carrots or bread in it, wouldn't it? I think that's nuts.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07It is nuts. Nuts are in nougat. Well done. OK, back to you, Dave.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12The large black and the large white are breeds of which animal
0:12:12 > 0:12:13raised for meat?
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Uh, so...
0:12:19 > 0:12:21It looks as if it should probably be sheep.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25So I think I'll go with sheep.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Eggs, is he right? - I think it's pig.- Pig.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It's a large black pig and a large white pig. Sorry, you got it wrong.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33So CJ has the chance to take the lead now.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Which TV cook, CJ, had a husband called Johnny
0:12:37 > 0:12:39who would often feature in her shows?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I always thought she looked like a drag queen whenever I've seen
0:12:45 > 0:12:47clips of her, but it's Fanny Cradock.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It is but way before your time. How do you know that?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53The Battle of Hastings was way before my time
0:12:53 > 0:12:57and I know about that. Saying it's before my time is not an excuse.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01OK, he's got it right. Dave, this is awkward now.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03You need to get this right to stay in.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06What shape is a traditional Bundt cake?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09And Bundt Is B-U-N-D-T.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Sounds like a German word.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Or Dutch.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Ring?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Yeah, you got it right. Well done.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26OK, CJ,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29equal but you have a question in hand. Here it is.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Get this right, you're in the final round.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Get it wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Which of these is a type of cheese used in Indian cookery?
0:13:41 > 0:13:46I'm not a great fan of Indian food, but I do actually like this.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It's a lovely soft cheese usually mixed with lots of spices,
0:13:49 > 0:13:50and it's paneer.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- I thought you'd given up cheese. - For the moment, unfortunately, yes.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I'm looking forward to really getting back into it.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Well, you've got it. Absolutely right, CJ.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Paneer is the right answer.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Three out of three for you. Sorry, Dave. That can happen,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I'm afraid. That expensive wrong answer.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Let's see what happens next.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Return to us, please, and we'll play the next round.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12So you've lost two.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14The Eggheads have still just lost the one.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Are you over that now, Barry, or still...?- No, it'll take months.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I'm into deep therapy when I go home.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23The next subject is Music.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Ah, Music, that's good.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25So who wants this?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Well, I think that would have to be...
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Dave S.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- David?- Yeah.- Aye, OK.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- It's not going to be Dave, by any chance, is it?- Person called David.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- OK, right.- Shock.- Go for a David. - I could've guessed that.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40And against which Egghead?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You can have... Only two left, actually.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Pat on one end, known as the Torpedo, because he operates silently.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48And Judith on this end.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Judith.- What do you think? Judith?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54We think Judith.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00- David from Radiola versus Judith. Music.- Not good for me.- Really?- No.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I think it has been good recently.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- So, Dave, another member of the band, I'm guessing.- Yes.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- And let me see, guitarist?- No.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Drummer.- Keyboard?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Drummer?- Drummer.- Oh, right.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Well, good luck making a noise here against Judith.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- And would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Here we go. Good luck, Dave.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Your band should be called Dave, really, shouldn't it?
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Master Of The House, sung by Thenardier and his wife, is a song
0:15:34 > 0:15:35in which musical?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Master Of The House. I can't be too sure on this one,
0:15:42 > 0:15:46but there's something that's telling me to pick
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Les Miserables.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51So I'll go for Les Mis.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Les Mis it is. Well done. Les Miserables.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Judith.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Oh, you'll love this.- Oh, no.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I couldn't have written this better for you.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Which of these was a hit single for the band Motorhead?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I haven't the first idea.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13I've really no idea.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Ace Of Spades.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I reckon you are secretly listening to them every night.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Ace Of Spades is the right answer.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Oh, thank goodness for that. - Well done.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25OK, David,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29which of these composers had 20 children?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34- 20 kids?- Yeah.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I'm going to go with Tchaikovsky.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- Let's see. Eggheads? - Johann Sebastian Bach.- Yes.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Bach had the 20, David, so you got it wrong.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Actually, these rounds are all playing out the same way here because
0:16:49 > 0:16:52now, Judith, if you get this question right, you go into the lead.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57The Oscar-winning song Glory by John Legend and the rapper Common
0:16:57 > 0:16:59featured on the soundtrack to which film?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Glory?- Yes. - I wonder if that's Birdman.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12I mean, if the words mean something, it sort of should be Birdman.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14So I'm going to go for Birdman because I don't know.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I mean, I don't know at all.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Just take me through it.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22The word glory associates itself with the film Birdman?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Well, I think it does because Birdman is all about the character
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- who had a moment of huge glory in his past...- Oh, I see.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- ..when he was Birdman.- Yes. But Selma is about Martin Luther King.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Yes.- And Selma is the answer. - Oh, Selma is the answer, right.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39I'm sorry to say.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41OK, David, that's quite handy.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Judith has slipped up.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46It's one point each, third question and it's yours.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51What was the UK's bestselling single of the year in 2014?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Well, I'm pretty sure that Happy was a big seller,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06so I'm going to go with happy by Pharrell Williams.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Yes, and you got it completely right. Happy it is, by Pharrell.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Judith, you need to get this right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Which composer had to flee Germany after an arrest warrant was issued
0:18:16 > 0:18:19for his part in the Dresden uprising of 1849?
0:18:25 > 0:18:31Well... I don't know what the Dresden uprising was. Uh...
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I think the dates would be Wagner, funnily enough.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39So Wagner.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43So your answer is Wagner. OK, let's just ask the Eggheads here.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46What do the dates tell us here? 1849. Were any of them not alive then?
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- Beethoven was dead.- Strauss would be far too young.- Strauss was how old?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- When and more as he born? - He might not have even been born.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Strauss was still alive during World War II.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Strauss was alive in World War II?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Famously, the US troops came into his house and as he came
0:19:01 > 0:19:03down the stairs and said,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06"I am Richard Strauss, composer of Rosenkavalier."
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- So he was alive in 1945.- Wow. - Beethoven died in 1827.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Beethoven died in 1827,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Strauss was alive in the Second World War, Judith, so you've
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- gone for the right one, it is Richard Wagner.- Oh, good.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So two each after three questions.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Sorry about that, David. It gets a bit more complicated now.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24It goes to Sudden Death.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29And I don't give you alternatives, so here is your question.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a famous song by which British band
0:19:32 > 0:19:34formed in the '60s?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Luckily enough, I know this one. It's Pink Floyd.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Pink Floyd is correct. Often said to be a tribute to their former
0:19:43 > 0:19:44band mate Syd Barrett.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Judith, to stay in.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52In 2012, which Irish singer became the first artist to have a
0:19:52 > 0:19:56different album in the British charts every year for 25 consecutive years?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Which Irishman?- Irish singer.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Cliff Richard's not Irish, is he?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06It's probably Val Doonican or something. Um...
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I don't know. Val Doonican.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Val Doonican?- Yes.- Anyone know here?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- I'd guess at Daniel O'Donnell. - Daniel O'Donnell...
0:20:16 > 0:20:17- Never heard of him.- ..is the answer.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Every year for 25 consecutive years, Judith.- Good for him.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Well done, David, you're in the final round. How about that?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Really levelled things up at the end there. And Judith...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28You'll have to listen to...
0:20:28 > 0:20:30We're getting a number things you've
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- got to listen to on your days off, Judith.- I know.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- The Jam, Daniel O'Donnell, Motorhead. - Yeah.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- No!- It fills me with gloom.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Please come back to us and we will play the final round.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It is time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52But I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:52 > 0:20:56won't be allowed to take part in this round. So James and Dave M
0:20:56 > 0:21:00from Radiola and also Judith - the Daniel O'Donnell fan -
0:21:00 > 0:21:04and Barry from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09So here we are in the final round. Colin, David, Dave S, you are
0:21:09 > 0:21:12playing to win Radiola £9,000,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14cos this lot have been on such a good run.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Chris, CJ and Pat, you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:21:17 > 0:21:21which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28You are allowed to confer.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32OK, Radiola, the question is, can your three brains defeat these three
0:21:32 > 0:21:36over here? And, Colin, David, Dave S, do want to go first or second?
0:21:36 > 0:21:37First, please.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44General Knowledge, here we go. Good luck, guys.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Which famous cricketer was nicknamed The Doctor or The Champion?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- The only name that sticks out is WG Grace.- That's what I'm thinking.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59But easily, it's just a hunch.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03WG Grace is, like, the legendary English cricketer.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Don Bradman's, like, the brittle Australian.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I've never heard of Jack Hobbs, but I don't know nicknames.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15We go for WG Grace because... Well, he's from so far in the past
0:22:15 > 0:22:18he might've been a doctor as well as a sportsman.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Maybe?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Don't you think, just go for it? - Go for it, why not?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27We don't know really, but we'll go for WG Grace.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31WG Grace. And he used to rock a beard rather like yours, I think.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34That's a WG Grace beard there, but is it the right answer?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Let's find out. Eggheads, do you know this?- Yes, he's right.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- And was a doctor. - He was a doctor, there we go.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43So if someone got hit with the cricket ball, he was right there.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47WG Grace is the right answer. Well done, Challengers.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52What name is given, Eggheads, to the young of a skunk?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Oh, my.- It's not a calf.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Skunk.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I mean, there are lots of cubs. There are kits of other animals,
0:23:07 > 0:23:11but they tend to be a lot rarer, so I wonder if this is one of the kits.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's not calf.- It's not calf.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- We can safely bin that.- Yeah.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Cub of a skunk? Kit of a skunk?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Skunk kit, yeah.- Skunk cub?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Skunk cub doesn't really work, does it?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29My instinct...my leaning is kit.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Yeah, a very faint leaning towards kit. Yeah?- Yeah.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Is that as good as we're going to do?- Yeah, we don't know it, so...
0:23:36 > 0:23:37We don't know this.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39We have a faint, we have a hope,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42in fact a strong hope, that it's a kit.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Wow, when you unravel on the first question, it's calamitous.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48But have you? Let's see, Judith will know this. Judith?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- I don't know, but I'd have said kit, I must say.- Kit is the answer.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Kit is the young of a skunk. Oh, I could feel...
0:23:57 > 0:24:01I could smell the £9,000 when they were struggling there.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04OK, Challengers, which of these authors wrote a series of books
0:24:04 > 0:24:07about the Cornish Poldark family?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- I'm fairly certain it's not du Maurier.- It was on TV.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- So that gives us the two on each side.- I suspect it's...
0:24:20 > 0:24:22If I was to guess it...
0:24:22 > 0:24:24My thought is leaning towards Thorndike,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27but I'm really... I'm not sure.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I'd probably take a guess on Thorndike cos I don't know.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Winston Graham is kind of speaking to me slightly.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37COLIN CHUCKLES
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Oh, what do we do? What do you think?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- You've got no thoughts whatsoever? - No, I don't know it.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Let's go with Russell.- Are you sure?
0:24:46 > 0:24:47No, but...
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Again, we're not sure, but we'll go for Russell Thorndike.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Russell Thorndike is your answer. OK.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Eggs?- Winston Graham?- No!
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Winston Graham is the answer. - Sorry, Dave.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Sorry, Challengers, Winston Graham it is.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Gives the Eggheads the chance to go into the lead with this question.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Which of these is often said to be the largest city in the world
0:25:10 > 0:25:15not to be built on or around a navigable body of water?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Well, Johannesburg isn't navigable.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I think it's known for that.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Moscow is certainly on a navigable river.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Vancouver is on the River Fraser. - And near the sea.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32And Moscow is on the Moskva and has loads of giant canals.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- So it's Joburg.- Yeah.- Yes.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36We think that's Johannesburg.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40On the basis that what, Vancouver is on the sea and Moscow's on a...?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41- The Moskva.- The Moskva.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43And I have lived in Johannesburg
0:25:43 > 0:25:45and I didn't see a river there, that's for sure.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47You're right, Johannesburg it is.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50So they have two and you have one.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54And we are at that point again where you need to get this right to stay
0:25:54 > 0:25:57alive in the contest. Get it wrong, the contest is over.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00£9,000 we are paying for here. Your question.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06Vic Armstrong, born in 1946 in Buckinghamshire, is famous for
0:26:06 > 0:26:08performing what role in the film industry?
0:26:15 > 0:26:16I have absolutely no idea.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Vic Armstrong.- Stuntman...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I've got a bell ringing saying stuntman, but whether it's right
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- or not, I don't know. - That's got to be the one.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Thatt's two small, distant bells.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29We'll take that over what I'm thinking.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- Yeah, why not? - If you get an inkling.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Let's go for the inkling which is stuntman.- Your inkling is stuntman?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I wonder if that's caused by the name being Armstrong.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Vic sounds like someone with biceps, you know?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Shall I ask them?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Or is that too painful?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Do you know?- He's probably the world's most famous stuntman.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55He is the world's most famous stuntman.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- So you're right.- Good inkling. - That was brilliant.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59The inkling was amazing.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Don't even try. As soon as you question it, it disappears.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05That's the trouble with those inklings. So you are still in it.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Two each, you have a question in hand.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10If they get this right, it's over. But they may not.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11There's only three of them there.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16And they can... Look at the way CJ is blinking. He looks nervous.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Here's your question, Eggheads. This for the contest.
0:27:19 > 0:27:25The athlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson competed in which athletics event
0:27:25 > 0:27:27at the 2012 Olympics?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32She's the heptathlete.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37In 2015, she became European Indoor Champion
0:27:37 > 0:27:40at the pentathlon, just missing the world record.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45- But she's a heptathlete.- She is. She's a heptathlete. Heptathlon.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Heptathlon is your answer. You didn't really break a sweat there.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52The answer is heptathlon, so we say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54you have won.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Commiserations, Radiola. That beastly single question. That was the one.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- So very bad luck to you. I hope you've enjoyed playing.- Yes.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10The band goes from strength to strength as well.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Go for Radiola. Brilliant.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16They are really on almost more of a streak now.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18They are doing very, very well.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21And it does mean the Challengers don't go home with the £9,000,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23so we will take that money and roll it over to our next show.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Eggheads, all three of you, well done.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Who, I wonder, will ever beat you.
