0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads. And how are you feeling today, Eggs? Very good.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Very good. Confident voices. Let's see how they do.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions are
0:00:41 > 0:00:42the Scattered Brains.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This friends-and-family team used to quiz together fairly regularly.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50However, job opportunities now mean that they are scattered
0:00:50 > 0:00:51all over the country.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56But for today, they are reunited and ready to test their brains once more.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57So, let's meet them.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Ivor and I'm an IT consultant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Debbie and I'm a freelance book-keeper.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm Karl. I'm a mechanical design engineer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Craig. I'm a PhD student in computer science.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Alex. I'm an IT consultant.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15So, Ivor, team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Thank you. So, scattered how widely, Ivor? Fairly scattered.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22I think it's about 15,000 square miles we cover.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So we are probably anchored around Weston-super-Mare,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27where Alex still lives.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30We have a history with that because, of course, our lovely Daphne
0:01:30 > 0:01:33is, I think, Weston-super-Mare's most famous resident.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Second to John Cleese, probably.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38THEY LAUGH
0:01:38 > 0:01:41That's a very close second. Fairly close.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43So Weston, Loughborough...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Yes, Karl and Craig were brought up in Weston.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Craig now studies in Bristol, which is not so far away.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Karl lives in Loughborough
0:01:50 > 0:01:54and Debbie and I live in Devizes in Wiltshire.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56All right. So we are scattered.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59But back together today for the big challenge. I wish you well.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Thank you. Every day, there is
0:02:01 > 0:02:03?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money
0:02:06 > 0:02:09rolls over to our next show. I know you know that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13So, Scattered Brains, the Eggheads have won the last 11,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15which means ?12,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17And I'm thinking you want to probably go ahead.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Shall we give it a go? Give it a go.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Right, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject
0:02:22 > 0:02:24of Film Television. Who would like it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26ALEX LAUGHS
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I guess, judging by all the looks towards me, that would be me.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33There is a plan here, is there, Alex? OK. Alex against which Egghead?
0:02:33 > 0:02:34You can choose any one of the five.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Come on, Ivor, you're the captain - you tell me.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I've just got to run through it in my head again.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Pat. OK. Pat.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48You have sensed weakness in Pat, have you? I wouldn't quite call it that.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51All right. So Alex from Scattered Brains versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53To ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01So they chose you for this, Alex, did they? Yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05And is that because when you were a child you wanted to be a superhero?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Yes, more than likely. What was the name of your superhero?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Captain Cretin.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15And you were wearing what sort of outfit?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Pretty much all green.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It was green socks, shorts, T-shirt, green cloak and a hat.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23It is a real shame you didn't dress up like that today.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I was told by the team captain not to.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30It would have put you off a bit, Pat, I think. It sounds deeply unsettling.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33All right. Well, for the purpose of this game, not Captain Cretin
0:03:33 > 0:03:38but Alex on Film TV, and would you like to go first or second?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I will go first, please.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Good luck. Here is your first question.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Alex, in which decade did Lee Marvin, Rex Harrison
0:03:48 > 0:03:52and Sidney Poitier all win the Academy Award for Best Actor?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Right...
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I'm 95% certain that I don't know this one.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05But I don't think it was in the 2000s.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08It's between the other two.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I would have to say the 1960s.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Yes, spot on. It is quite some time ago.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Over to you, Pat.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Perez Hilton, Keith Chegwin
0:04:18 > 0:04:23and Katie Hopkins appeared on which reality TV programme in 2015?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I think they were all memorably cooped up together...
0:04:32 > 0:04:35..in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38They were indeed. OK.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39On to you, Alex.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42The three actresses and sisters Niamh,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Sorcha and Sinead were born with which of these family names?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52OK. Another one I'm not certain of,
0:04:52 > 0:04:56but I'm definitely leaning towards Cusack, I believe.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I seem to remember Niamh Cusack.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Yes, I'll go for Cusack, please.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Cusack is correct. Yeah.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Pat, your question.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Bert Cooper, Joan Harris
0:05:06 > 0:05:09and Roger Sterling are characters in which US television drama?
0:05:14 > 0:05:20I think the company the programme is based about is Sterling, Cooper
0:05:20 > 0:05:23and somebody else. It's an advertising agency.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26So I think the Sterling there suggests it is Mad Men.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32Mad Men is right. Two each. Playing well. Hang on in there, Alex.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Get this right, put some pressure on the Egghead there.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Brad Pitt plays the manager of which type of sports team
0:05:37 > 0:05:42in the 2011 film Moneyball, which is based on true events?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50OK, I didn't actually see this film, I only saw a couple of adverts.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52But I believe it is baseball.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Baseball is correct.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Three out of three. He's doing well, isn't he? OK. Pat, your question.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Which British actress was married to the director
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Tony Richardson from 1962 to 1967?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I have a feeling that he is connected with one of the big
0:06:11 > 0:06:13acting dynasties.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16And although Sarah Miles obviously has sisters who
0:06:16 > 0:06:18were actresses as well,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I think Redgrave fits the dynasty description best,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23so I will go for Vanessa Redgrave.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Yeah, you got three out of three as well. Vanessa Redgrave it is.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29So, locked equally.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Well, I guess it was never going to be easy, Alex.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33We go to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder now
0:06:33 > 0:06:36because I don't give you alternative answers.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Are you ready? As ready as I'll ever be, yes.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Alex, in which TV series does Rebecca Front play DOSAC
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Minister Nicola Murray, MP?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I believe it is in The Thick Of It.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54It is indeed, and DOSAC is Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Pat, pressure on you now.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01In 2010, which actress played the Red Queen in Alice In Wonderland
0:07:01 > 0:07:05and Queen Elizabeth, the future Queen Mother, in The King's Speech?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I think she was slightly altered by computers
0:07:09 > 0:07:13for the Alice In Wonderland film. It was Helena Bonham Carter.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Helena Bonham Carter is also correct.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Sudden Death. Back to Alex we go.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Anna Paquin won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar
0:07:22 > 0:07:28at the age of 11 for her role in which 1993 film?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Oh, I have to admit...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I know she has recently been in True Blood, I believe.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38But it's trying to imagine her face as... Quite younger.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42I'm going to kick myself when I find out.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44No, I'm going to have to say My Girl.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46No, it was The Piano.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49She was the second-youngest Oscar winner, actually.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Who was the youngest? Tatum O'Neal.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Tatum O'Neal, they all chorus, for Paper Moon at the age of ten.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57OK, Pat, you can get it with this.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Galloping Home was the theme tune of which popular 1970s TV programme?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Galloping... There's a very horsey sound to that.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13What are the obvious horsey TV programmes? We've got Follyfoot.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I think its theme song was The Lightning Tree.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19We've got Black Beauty, which was certainly horsey enough.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I will have to go with Black Beauty.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26The Adventures Of Black Beauty.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Challengers, is he right?
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Anyone know? Yes. He is right. Black Beauty is the right answer, Pat.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36There we are, Sudden Death. Well, you played well, Alex, I must say.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I'm sorry, you have been knocked out.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Pat is in the final round, but it is early days here.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Please both return to your teams and we will play on.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47So, a brain has been scattered, I'm afraid to say.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Scattered Brains have lost a brain.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52The Eggheads are still intact over there. Let's see what happens now.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55And the next round for you is Science,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57so who would like this? Me?
0:08:57 > 0:09:03We've got our scientist onboard. Karl, OK. Against which Egghead?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Anyone but Pat.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So, top of the list on the magic spreadsheet was Dave.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13It was. So, yeah. Dave. Dave, yeah.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16OK. Dave, Science. All right.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18So it's going to be Karl from Scattered Brains versus
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Tremendous Knowledge Dave. To ensure there is no conferring,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24please go to the Question Room.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26You're on Science against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Would you like to go first or second? I'll go first, please.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36And here we go. What is the technical term for the thigh bone?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I think it's the femur.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Femur is the right answer. Well done. Well done.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48OK, Dave, your question.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Which method do most TV remote controls use to send a signal?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I think that's infrared.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Infrared is the right answer.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04You would have known that, Karl, wouldn't you? Yes.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Here's your question.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10An elephant's tusks are an elongated form of which type of tooth?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16OK. Erm...
0:10:18 > 0:10:23It's not molar, because I know those are the flat ones.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I think it's canine. Which are... Where are the canines?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I'm trying to remember. Front? Not the front ones.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32The ones just outside of that, I think. Yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It's the incisor, though.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I know, because mechanical design,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40maybe not necessarily overlapping with elephant knowledge. No(!)
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Quite understandably. Bad luck.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Dave, in the SI system,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47the hertz is the unit of what?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I believe pascal's pressure.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Conductance... Is that siemens? Probably.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Frequency is hertz.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Frequency is hertz. So you are ahead, Dave.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03And, Karl, you need this one to stay in.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07India's first satellite, called Aryabhata,
0:11:07 > 0:11:08was launched in which year?
0:11:14 > 0:11:20It's not a piece of knowledge that I know, so I'm going to go with 1995.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Do you know this, Dave? I would have gone 1975.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Yeah, it's that early.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29It is '75, actually, Aryabhata. No way back for you, Karl, I'm afraid.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30You've been knocked out by Dave
0:11:30 > 0:11:33on Science, and that's two to the Eggheads now.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Dave will be in the final.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Please both of you return to your team-mates.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42OK. As it stands, Scattered Brains have lost two brains.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45So, Ivor, any change of plan now? No, no. We'll stick with it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It's just the questions are probably outside our frame of reference.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51And they're doing well. These Eggs have not got a question wrong,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54which even at this early stage is a bit unusual.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Usually they have tripped. Especially if I have been one of them, yeah.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00So you have lost two, the Eggheads have not lost any,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03but we have plenty of time and you can still win.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05And the next subject for you is Arts Books.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07So who would like this?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Right... I think it's me, isn't it?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13THEY LAUGH
0:12:13 > 0:12:15There's an answer. I hear laughter.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Well, it's probably not the subject we would have most wanted.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23And, yeah, I'm going to take one for the team, I think. Are you sure?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26So the skipper goes in against which Egghead? Not Dave, not Pat.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I think I'd like to take on CJ, please. Fine.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32CJ GASPS
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Oh, an intake of breath. You are looking mean at the moment, CJ.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I quite like this subject. Do you? OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Because you read a lot of books if they're about you.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43As most should be, frankly.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Ivor from Scattered Brains versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Please take your positions, gentlemen, now.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53So, Ivor, not necessarily the subject you wanted, is that right?
0:12:53 > 0:12:57No, not really my chosen subject, but...here we are. Let's have a go.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01And you are a member of Mensa? I am. Yes. So remind me how that works.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05They score you somehow. Basically, it is broken down into three parts.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10So they test three different parts of your intelligence, so to speak.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13And a few weeks later you get a score
0:13:13 > 0:13:16and an invitation to join or not.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19And what was your score? 148. 148.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22That's high. CJ, have you done it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I have been a member of Mensa in the past, yeah.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26And did you resign for some reason, or did you get thrown out?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I won the Chess Championships and that was my aspiration,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31so after that I let my membership lapse.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33So did you have a score as well?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I did. Are you going to tell us what it is?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38158. 158!
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Yes, that's bound to happen, Ivor. Absolutely.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Anyway, good luck to you. See if 148 can beat 158 here.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Arts Books. Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I think I'd like to go second, please, Jeremy.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55OK, so here we go with CJ's first question.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57And it is...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Where was the artist Tracey Emin born?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04I don't actually know this,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08but she does speak with a London accent, I would have thought.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11She's not Scottish.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I don't think she's got a Northern accent, I think she's just...
0:14:14 > 0:14:15London. So I'll try Croydon.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Yeah, Croydon is right. Well done.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I didn't know that. OK. Ivor.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21A doctor called Dick Diver
0:14:21 > 0:14:24is a central character in which novel?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33OK. Pretty sure it's not To Kill A Mockingbird
0:14:33 > 0:14:35or Animal Farm. I've read both of those
0:14:35 > 0:14:40and I don't remember that character in either of those,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43so my answer will be Tender Is The Night.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46You are absolutely right. Well done. Tender Is The Night.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50CJ. In Turner's painting The Fighting Temeraire,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53the old warship is depicted at which time of day?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It's not midnight. It's set in the day. Erm...
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I seem to picture this with a lot of orange in the sky,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09as Turner was wont to do and, because it is the Temeraire
0:15:09 > 0:15:12being dragged to its retirement to be broken up, it would
0:15:12 > 0:15:15make sense that it was sunset at the end of the day.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19I think the sky is more orange. There may be a sun on the horizon
0:15:19 > 0:15:22at the back so I will try sunset.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Sunset is quite right.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I don't know whether it was featured in that film, the Turner film.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30There is kind of a glancing reference to it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33There's a scene where he's out on the water in a boat
0:15:33 > 0:15:34with a couple of other people
0:15:34 > 0:15:37and they see his ship being towed and they said, "That would make
0:15:37 > 0:15:40"a nice subject for a painting," and he said, "I'll work on that."
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Something to that effect. Yeah, sunset is correct, CJ. Well done.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47OK, which literary device can be described as a figure of speech
0:15:47 > 0:15:53in which the name of a part is used to stand for the whole or vice versa?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00OK, um...
0:16:00 > 0:16:03The only word I recognise in there, I have to admit,
0:16:03 > 0:16:10is onomatopoeia and I think it's got a meaning in terms
0:16:10 > 0:16:17of representing something else, if I can put it as vaguely as that.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20So, that's going to be my answer. Onomatopoeia.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22OK, it is actually not onomatopoeia.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Onomatopoeia is a word like gush, where...
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Where the sound of the word... The word sounds like the meaning.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30So, what is the answer, Eggs, do you know?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Synecdoche. Right, Eggheads on two, Challengers on one.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Third question to you, CJ. Get this right, you are in the final.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39What was the real first name of the playwright
0:16:39 > 0:16:42known as Tennessee Williams?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I knew it began with T!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Oh, dear.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56I don't think it's Tracey. I think I...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I have seen it and I remember there being an M in it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Simply because on the way it sounds for me, and I wonder if I have said
0:17:05 > 0:17:09this to myself when I saw it for the first time, I will try Thomas.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Thomas is correct, CJ. Well done.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It didn't help you much that it was M
0:17:13 > 0:17:16because there is an M in Timothy as well. You've done it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Three out of three. Well done. You are in the final. Sorry, Ivor.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Both Mensa level. We can agree on that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Come back to us and we will play the last round before the final.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Right, so we are...
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Whatever happens, we mustn't give up at this stage.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Many have won from here and Eggheads can attest to that.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Unfortunately so!
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Yeah. Scattered Brains have lost three brains.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44They are being thrown to the four winds a little bit.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48The Eggheads have lost none - so far. I stress those last two words.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52The next subject is History. Who would like this?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56I'll take it. OK, Craig. Very decisive.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Against which Egghead, Lisa or Kevin?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Lisa. Is that all right?
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Yes. It is going to be Lisa. OK, you swerved Kevin there!
0:18:07 > 0:18:09All right, Craig from Scattered Brains
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and Lisa from the Eggheads on History.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Please go to the Question Room and we will see how we do.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20OK, History, Craig. Would you like to go first or second? First, please.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Here we go and good luck to you. Pull it back now for the Scattered Brains.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Unscatter those brains.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33A medieval tilt yard was a location intended for which occasions?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40That is a new term to me. Um...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43A yard suggests it isn't particularly pretty
0:18:43 > 0:18:48so I am ruling out weddings and coronations at this point.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Er... So I am...
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Yeah, I will go with jousts.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Nicely done. Absolutely right. Impeccable logic. Well done.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58OK, Lisa. Onto you.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01The Staffordshire town of Tamworth is believed to have been
0:19:01 > 0:19:04the capital of which Anglo-Saxon kingdom?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Well, Tamworth... Even my geography would get me to Tamworth being
0:19:12 > 0:19:15in the middle of the country and Northumbria was at the top
0:19:15 > 0:19:18and Wessex was at the bottom, so I think we will go with Mercia.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Mercia is right, which is a word that crops up in the Midlands -
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Mercia Sound, the radio station.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Yeah, they still use it quite a bit for various designations, yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Yeah. Back to you, Craig.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Which city was the birthplace of Eliot Ness in 1903,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38where he would later become famous for his work as a Prohibition agent?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Um... OK, I will go with my instinct which says Chicago.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52Chicago is correct. Lisa, you know anything about Eliot Ness?
0:19:52 > 0:19:53What do you know about him? Er...
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Not a great deal except that he is
0:19:55 > 0:19:58the protagonist of The Untouchables, isn't he? So he was
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Al Capone's main nemesis, so that would have led me to Chicago.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03OK, Lisa. Your question.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Which naval battle was the first between opposing aircraft carriers
0:20:07 > 0:20:13and the first at which the opposing fleets never sighted each other?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Do you know, you could have said that in any language, Jeremy,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24including English, and I still wouldn't know which way to jump.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I don't think there's even any point in me reasoning
0:20:27 > 0:20:30because frankly I don't think logic will get me very far.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I will go for the Battle of Jutland.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Eggheads, do you know? Coral Sea.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Coral Sea is the answer, Battle of the Coral Sea.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Chris would have loved this one, wouldn't he? Yep. Big Chris.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44OK, so you are in the lead, Craig. This is a good moment for your team.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Is the tide is turning for the Scattered Brains?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Get this question right and Lisa will be a goner
0:20:49 > 0:20:52and then you go into the final with two players, not one.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55What was the name of the Anglo-Saxon prince who was proclaimed
0:20:55 > 0:21:01King of England after the death of Harold Godwinson in 1066,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03although he was never crowned?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Um...
0:21:13 > 0:21:181066 is quite a famous year.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23There is definitely a Harold associated with it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Harold Harefoot doesn't sound particularly...
0:21:30 > 0:21:31memorable, to me.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Edgar the... I'm not sure how to say it... Aetheling...
0:21:36 > 0:21:38is jumping out at the moment.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Edmund Ironside is not giving me anything, really.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47OK, I will go with Edgar the Aetheling.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Edgar the Aetheling is the right answer.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Well done, you are in the final round. Well done!
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It was really William the Conqueror's moment.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57That's what went wrong there. Sorry, Lisa.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Knocked out on your specialist subject.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04So, it had to turn your way at some point and it has done at the perfect
0:22:04 > 0:22:07moment, and if you come back to us we will play the final round.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15It is time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I'm afraid those of you that lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:22:17 > 0:22:21allowed to take part in this round. So that is Ivor, Carl and Alex
0:22:21 > 0:22:25from Scattered Brains but also Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33So, Debbie and Craig, you are playing to win Scattered Brains ?12,000.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Good jackpot today.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Kevin, Dave, Pat and CJ, you are playing for something that we
0:22:37 > 0:22:41think money can't really buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44And you are on a bit of a roll, so you want to keep it in place.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47As usual, I am going to ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50This time, the questions are all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52So, Scattered Brains, the question is,
0:22:52 > 0:22:56can your two brains defeat these four over here?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Would you like to go first or second? We are going to go first, please.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05OK, and here is your first question. General Knowledge.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09At which sporting event did the TV commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme
0:23:09 > 0:23:12famously say, "They think it's all over, it is now"?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Let me just check, "They think it's all over, it is now"? Yes.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28The middle one. Yeah, the 1966 World Cup final.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Is the correct answer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Debbie, you're from Canada, is that right? Yes, I am.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I'm glad you didn't get that wrong! Yes.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Because England won it. I understand they did, yes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40And they say, what is it?
0:23:40 > 0:23:4240 years of hurt, but it is more than that now.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45More like 50. We are getting on for 60 years of hurt.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49You got it right, that's the main thing. OK, Eggheads.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52What was the title of the International Herald Tribune
0:23:52 > 0:23:54changed to in 2013?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It makes sense it's New York Times.
0:24:04 > 0:24:10There is an International New York Times. I don't see why...
0:24:10 > 0:24:13There is an international edition of the Guardian...
0:24:13 > 0:24:17And there is no international News Of The World.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19The international version of the Guardian predates that.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22I didn't realise this is what had happened but there certainly
0:24:22 > 0:24:26is the International New York Times, which the font looks similar.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28The Herald Tribune is American.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31So, yeah. It's not International News Of The World.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34We think it's the International New York Times.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Yes, International New York Times it is. One each. Back to you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44Nick Knight, born in London in 1958, achieved fame in the fashion world
0:24:44 > 0:24:45in which role?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I don't think it is a designer. No, I don't.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57I wouldn't have a clue if it was a model.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00International famous model, male model?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I would plump for photographer.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06So, are we happy to rule out model and designer?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I think we can rule out model and I...
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I've never heard of him as a designer, not that I'm all
0:25:12 > 0:25:14that tuned into the design world.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17However, are we happy with photographer?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Yes. Photographer.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I love the logic. It is actually right. Good!
0:25:22 > 0:25:25You went through that brilliantly.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Photographer is the right answer.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29OK, they are ahead, Eggheads.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34With ?12,000 that we are playing for, it is getting a bit exciting here.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36The hamlet of Flatford,
0:25:36 > 0:25:40famous from the paintings of John Constable, is in which county?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Suffolk, isn't it? I assume it's Suffolk for Constable.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50It is sort of on the Suffolk/Essex border
0:25:50 > 0:25:53but the other two don't come into play.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55That is Suffolk, Jeremy.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Suffolk is the right answer. OK, Scattered Brains. Two each.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Get this right, you may not have to do any more work today.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07The musical form of God Save The Queen follows the rhythm
0:26:07 > 0:26:09and style of which type of dance?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19OK, this might involve a bit of singing. Go for it. Um...
0:26:19 > 0:26:24Or tapping. Tap. So, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Do you know any minuets?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Not to tap out, no. I only know one
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and it goes duh-duh-duh-duh, duh-duh.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36That is different, isn't it? Yeah. OK.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Galliard seems a bit more upbeat
0:26:38 > 0:26:43and sarabande has the same rhythm. Galliard has the same rhythm too.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I'm a bit stumped on that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Right, I think I will have to make a decision then.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56I'm going for sarabande. Yes. Sarabande, please.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Oh, no! It was probably minuet.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03You're wrong. It was galliard. Oh, no!
0:27:03 > 0:27:07And you ruled out minuet brilliantly. You were so close. Oh, dear.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Gosh, within a whisker.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12So, Eggheads, if you get this one right, the contest is over.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17Which American special effects make-up artist has won seven Oscars,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20including one for An American Werewolf In London?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29American Werewolf In London is Rick Baker.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32By far the most famous. Fine.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Yeah, that was... American Werewolf In London was probably one
0:27:35 > 0:27:39of the first ones where he really came to notice. It is Rick Baker.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40You say Rick Baker.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43You didn't allow us much suspense there while you discussed it.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47You were straight to the answer. The correct answer is Rick Baker.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59The only, maybe, consolation is that had they got that one wrong
0:27:59 > 0:28:02then galliard would have won you ?12,000,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06so at least you don't have that to think about on the way home. Quite.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10There we are, we mustn't listen to the national anthem for a while.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Thank you for playing.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Thank you. And you definitely weren't scattered at the end,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17you were very together. Commiserations to our Challengers.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:19 > 0:28:22and this rather impressive winning streak continues.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the ?12,000.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28We take the money, we roll it over to our next show.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Eggheads, well done. You are never going to be beaten. Never!
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see
0:28:33 > 0:28:36if a new team of Challengers have the brains to do it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40?13,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye!
