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 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads, and they are right here looking nicely ferocious.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Oh, good, good.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Challenging the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are The Chemical Brummers.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Now, everyone on this team is studying chemical engineering
0:00:44 > 0:00:47at Birmingham University. Why don't we meet them?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I am Ross and I am from Chesterfield.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I am Jonny and I am from Nottingham.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Kings. I'm from Royal Leamington Spa.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Reece. I'm from the Isle of Wight.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Matt and I am from Hemel Hempstead.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01So, Ross and team, welcome. Good to see you. Hiya.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05All students at the same place? Yes, we are. And studying the same thing?
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Yes. Not to worry you, but have you got History covered?
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Have you got Arts Books covered?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13You're going to be good on Science, I know. Yes.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Well, we're hoping for Science,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18but we think we can probably have a stab at some of the stuff -
0:01:18 > 0:01:2033%, if nothing else.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Guess every question.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25The other thing, we once had a rocket scientist come on and was beaten,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29famously, by Judith on a question about kingfishers, wasn't it?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Because botany came up, or birds.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35So, Science can include questions about plants.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Yeah, but, you know, Books could include
0:01:37 > 0:01:39questions about Mr Men or something.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I don't know! We might stand a chance.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43There's probably books about chemical engineering as well.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Could be. When you do your chemical engineering,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48what are you actually making? All sorts.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I am starting in the automotive industry,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52along with a couple of the lads.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55A couple of the lads are hoping to start in FMCGs.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56What is that?
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Fast-moving consumer goods. Reece is making biscuits in September.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Is that some sort of joke? No, no.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07You are actually making biscuits? Yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09You've got away with that, have you? That's Pat of your course?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11That counts as chemical engineering?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Yeah, we do everything. That's what they tell us.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15We make everything on a big scale. OK.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I hope you can make mincemeat out of this lot as well.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Every day, there is... LAUGHTER
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Every day, there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:24 > 0:02:25for our Challengers.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33So, Chemical Brummers, I can tell you the Eggheads have won
0:02:33 > 0:02:36the last dozen games, so they are doing well.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38This is a great moment to stop them in their tracks.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41?13,000 says you can't beat them. Shall we crack on?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Let's do it.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45The first head-to-head battle is not Science, it is Geography.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Who would like this?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49We know, don't we? You, Reece. Definitely?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Go for it, Reece.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Reece? Yes, I'm going to be doing this. OK.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Which Egghead would you like to take on? They do look fearsome today.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59They look intense to me.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02What are we thinking? Who do you fancy?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Cut the head off the snake? THEY LAUGH
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Yeah, let's... Shall we go Pat?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Yeah, you only live once, man. Let's go Pat.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Yeah, let's do it. Go hard, then go home.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Let's do it. Pat.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19So, Reece from The Chemical Brummers versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22You up for this? I certainly am. To ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Reece, I gather at school you were voted...what?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33I think you must be referring to the fact that I got voted at my prom
0:03:33 > 0:03:35to be the student most likely to become a millionaire.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, that's good! It would be if I become a millionaire,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40but I'm not sure that's going to happen.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Well, you're just 22 at the moment, so there's plenty of time. Yeah.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Well, hopefully some of the prize money from today will help that out.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Yep, indeed.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51And Judith, of course, became a millionaire in a single instant.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54As did Pat! Didn't you, Pat? I believe I did. What was that like?
0:03:54 > 0:03:59You won... Come on, you know you did. What was that moment like for you?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Memorable, yeah. Very, very.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03On the high side of satisfactory.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07What was the question? It was about the American Triple Crown.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Which race is not part of the American Triple Crown?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And the answer was? The Arlington Million.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15So, that is how easy it is, Reece. There we go.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I think I'd still get that wrong if you asked me right now,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and I just heard it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Well, good luck in this round, Geography.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I know you're all scientists, but let's see how you do.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Would you like to go first or second, Reece?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I will go first, please, Jeremy.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Here is your first question. Good luck.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Which constituent country of the United Kingdom has
0:04:35 > 0:04:37a population of just over three million people?
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Well, I am going to rule out England as it must be the most populous.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50My first thought was Wales, so I think that is what I'll go for.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Yes, glad you did. Wales is the answer.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54OK, Pat, your question.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58The two official languages of Cyprus are Greek and what?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Well, Cyprus has had long links with Turkey
0:05:04 > 0:05:10and is actually partitioned, with the northern part...
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I don't see any reason why they'd be speaking Spanish in Cyprus
0:05:14 > 0:05:17and I don't think of them as speaking Italian.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I think it must be Turkish.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Turkish is correct. Back to you, Reece.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25The Royal Albert Bridge, which spans the Tamar,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28links which two English counties?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36I have to be honest, I am very not sure.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39I am trying to think.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44I have visited Kent and Essex and it is not something that I've recalled.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48But then I have also been to Devon and Cornwall. The Tamar...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I think I would say Devon and Cornwall.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Yes, you are...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I was going to say, unerringly lasering in on the correct answer,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59but maybe slightly slower than that.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03But getting there unerringly, for sure. Well done. Devon and Cornwall.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04OK, Pat.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Which city is the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Khartoum is the capital of Sudan.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17And Kigali is the capital of...
0:06:19 > 0:06:22..Rwanda. So, I think we need Kinshasa.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Kinshasa is the correct answer.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28OK, Reece, your question.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31The most easterly point on the Arabian Peninsula
0:06:31 > 0:06:32is in which country?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Right. Most eastern point?
0:06:39 > 0:06:44So, Yemen and Oman are at the bottom of the Arabian Peninsula,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47with Kuwait a bit higher, I think.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Ah, I'm trying to think which side...
0:06:51 > 0:06:56I feel like Yemen is the further west of the two.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It is just whether Kuwait is further east.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I am going to go with Oman.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07You are playing very well. Oman is correct.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Well done, you got three out of three.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Pat, you're on the edge,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14with the chemical engineer dominant here.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Folsom and Pelican Bay are prisons in which US state?
0:07:21 > 0:07:28Ah, Folsom is included in the title of a memorable Jonny Cash album.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30He had a concert in Folsom Prison.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I have always thought it was in California.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I think Folsom Prison is in California,
0:07:37 > 0:07:38so I'll go for California.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Is he right, Eggheads? Yes. Yeah?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43If you've got a Jonny Cash connection,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I would have thought probably Texas. But not so.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49California is correct. Well played.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51So, three each, no-one has put a foot wrong so far.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It gets a bit harder though, Reece. We go to Sudden Death, OK?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58So, I don't give you alternatives here when I ask the question.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Which Japanese term is used for a huge sea wave
0:08:01 > 0:08:05caused by underwater disturbance such as an earthquake?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06That would be tsunami.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10It is. Tsu is harbour and nami is waves.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Tsunami.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Pat, the Shona and Yoruba languages are chiefly spoken
0:08:15 > 0:08:16on which continent?
0:08:17 > 0:08:22I think Shona are a people of places like Zimbabwe
0:08:22 > 0:08:27and Yoruba I think is northern Nigeria, so I will say Africa.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Yeah, bang on. Africa it is.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Back to you, Reece, Sudden Death.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36What is the name of the world's largest inland body of saltwater?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41The only one that is coming to mind, and probably the only one that
0:08:41 > 0:08:45I could think of, would be the saltiest, the Dead Sea.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50No, Caspian Sea is the answer, Reece.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53OK, Pat, if you get this one right,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56you are in the final round and Reece is knocked out.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Here is your question.
0:08:57 > 0:09:04In an alphabetical list of the 50 US states, which state comes last?
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Let's see. We can eliminate Z, Y...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Can eliminate X, so we are on W.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17So, Wyoming is a decent shot. Washington is above it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I think it is Wyoming.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Wyoming is the right answer. Sorry, Reece, he's knocked you out.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24You played very, very well until we got to the Caspian.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You are out, Pat is in the final.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Come back to us, please, both of you, and we will play on.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33An awkward start for The Chemical Brummers,
0:09:33 > 0:09:34but good play from Reece.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37He's been knocked out, though. They've lost a brain. The Eggheads
0:09:37 > 0:09:39are still looking rather too pleased with themselves.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I hope you can change that. The next subject is Sport.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Again, not chemicals.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46But hopefully we have got a sportsman. That'll be me.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48You've got this, haven't you? That'll be me.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Jonny. Yeah. Against which Egghead, Jonny?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Who would you like to take on? Do we want to...?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Might as well do it, mate. Will I take on Kevin?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Yeah, why not? Go on. Yeah, I will take on Kevin, please.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Fine. Said with great conviction.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Jonny from The Chemical Brummers versus Kevin from the Eggheads
0:10:04 > 0:10:08on Sport. Please go, both of you, to our Question Room now.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Good luck against Kevin. Thank you.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15It is Sport, Jonny. Would you like to go first or second?
0:10:15 > 0:10:16I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Here we go. Which tennis player
0:10:22 > 0:10:25won his fifth Australian Open singles title in 2015?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Um...
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Lleyton Hewitt isn't really around much any more.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Andy Murray, I think, has only won the one,
0:10:37 > 0:10:38or maybe twice.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41So, I'm going to go for Novak Djokovic.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Novak Djokovic is the right answer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Kevin, the colours of the rings on the Olympic flag
0:10:46 > 0:10:50are black, green, red, blue and which other colour?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I think in the order in which it is, you've got
0:10:55 > 0:10:59three along the top, which is blue, black, red,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01then at the bottom, you've got yellow and green.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03So, it is yellow.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05OK. It is yellow, but why is it yellow?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I think the colours for the rings were chosen on the basis
0:11:09 > 0:11:13that one or the other of these colours appears in all the flags,
0:11:13 > 0:11:14all the national flags.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16That was the theory, I think, behind it all.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19So, you can't have a flag without having one of those colours?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I'm not sure it is actually true any more, necessarily,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24but it might still be.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26That would be a great quiz question in the future. Yeah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30So, we go back to you. Jonny, your question.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34The England rugby union international Danny Care
0:11:34 > 0:11:35usually plays in which position?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Rugby is probably my weakest sport, sadly.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I am going to say...hooker.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Kevin, do you know? I don't think he's an outside centre.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I've got an idea he's a scrum-half.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Yeah. Scrum-half is the answer, Jonny.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Kevin has a chance to take the lead here.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Which American football team defeated the defending champions
0:11:58 > 0:12:02the Seattle Seahawks in the 2015 Super Bowl?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It is the New England Patriots.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16The New England Patriots, quite right. You are ahead.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18You need to get this one right now, Jonny.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Yep. To stay in the contest.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25In 2003, the cricketer Alastair Cook made his first-class debut
0:12:25 > 0:12:27playing for which county side?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Um...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I believe that is Essex that Alastair Cook played for.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37You like cricket? Yes. You are spot on.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I could sense the confidence when you answered it. Essex is right.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Two out of three, let's see if it's enough. Back to Kevin.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48The Welsh goalkeeper Neville Southall made over 500 league appearances
0:12:48 > 0:12:52for which football club from 1981 to 1988?
0:12:55 > 0:13:00He was...very much associated with Everton. So, Everton.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Nearly 20 years - amazing - at Everton. You're quite right.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07You got three out of three, Kevin. Sorry, Jonny.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Just that one wrong answer. Yes.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Still plenty of time and hope for your team, though.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Let's get some chemical engineering going here, guys.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Change the chemistry of the tournament.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Come back to us. We will play on.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23So, as it stands, The Chemical Brummers have lost
0:13:23 > 0:13:26two brains from the final round, the Eggheads have lost none.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29OK, this is the round. We need Science, right? It is Arts Books.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31THEY LAUGH I'm sorry.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Oh, dear. There is no easy way to tell you that. Kingsley?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Guess I'm going to have to give it a go. Kings?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I am going to have a stab. Against which Egghead here?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Dave? Or do you want to take a lady on?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Uh...shall I take on Dave?
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Yeah, go for it, man. Why not? Yeah, I will take on Dave.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50OK, so, Kings from The Chemical Brummers
0:13:50 > 0:13:53versus Dave from the Eggheads on Arts Books.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Please go to the Question Room now.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Kings, you were born in the UK but have Chinese citizenship now?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Is that right?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Yep. Because of having lived in Hong Kong for quite a while?
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Yeah, I lived there for at least seven years when I was a child.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Got to, like, year three, I think.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17And then moved back over here to the UK. I've never been.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Tell us, should we all go and see Hong Kong?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Oh, absolutely. Hong Kong is fantastic! The food is just amazing.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26So, definitely go and have a visit.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Would you go back at some point to work, do you think?
0:14:29 > 0:14:30I'd like to think so.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32All my family and friends are based around there,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34so I'd like to go back there.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Sure. Good luck in this round. It is Arts Books.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Would you like to go first or second against Dave?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Here we go, Kings. Good luck to you.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51Which of these characters appears in the book Bridget Jones's Diary?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Uh... Hmm.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Not a book that I have read, but I don't think it is Edward Cullen.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Going to have a wild stab at it. Daniel Cleaver.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Let's ask your team-mates. Is he right? We think so.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Yeah, they like that. Daniel Cleaver it is.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16JEREMY LAUGHS
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Dave, which of these is a poetic form consisting of 14 lines that
0:15:20 > 0:15:22was commonly used by Shakespeare?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27I think it is a sonnet.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Sonnet is right. Well done.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Kings, your question.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34At the end of TS Eliot's poem The Hollow Men, the world
0:15:34 > 0:15:38is said to end not with a bang but with a what?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Again, not something that I've read. Um...
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Let's go with whimper.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50You're playing so well. It is whimper, yeah.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55I didn't know that was the poem it was from. Famous, famous phrase.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Two out of two. Back to you, Dave.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02In which city was the writer Franz Kafka born in 1883?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I believe he's a Czech writer so,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09as my friends skill and judgment would say,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12go with the favourite - Prague.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Prague is right. Well done. So, two-two.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Kings, your third question.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Which Canadian-born printmaker was the only woman
0:16:19 > 0:16:22shortlisted for the 2014 Turner Prize?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33My gut instinct is saying Ciara Phillips,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35so I'm going to go with that.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Ciara Phillips. You're absolutely right.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44You're playing a storming game. That is brilliant play, brilliant play.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Three out of three, well done.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Not quite there yet, though. Dave's third question is now.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Let Me Die A Youngman's Death is a poem by which writer, born in 1937?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Right, '37.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Hmm.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Right, let's rule out Betjeman. Don't believe it is him.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Now, Roger McGough...
0:17:11 > 0:17:13..is troubling me.
0:17:14 > 0:17:181937 would make him...late 70s now.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It does sound like Ted Hughes, 1930...
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Let me just get the handle on the date, because he died in 1995.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Was he 58 as a Poet Laureate?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Having been there, could he have been Poet Laureate in '84?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38At the age of 47?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44I can't get a handle at all on what Ted Hughes's age when he died.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Um...so...
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Then I'll question answerer's remorse and go for Ted Hughes.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Well, you were right to rule out John Betjeman. It was 1906 he was born.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Ted Hughes was 30 in 1960, so he was born in 1930.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04So, Roger McGough was the one. Yes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08So, you have been knocked out, Dave. Kings, you played really well.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10You are in the final round! You can go a little bit crazy.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Whoa! Yay!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Come back to us, please, and we will play the next round.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21OK, The Chemical Brummers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23but they have now knocked out an Egghead over here.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Dave is gone.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28The last subject before the final is Music.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I can't believe Science never came up!
0:18:30 > 0:18:32We are going on orchestras instead
0:18:32 > 0:18:34and rocking musicians and everything else.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Music. I literally is... It is probably going to have to be you.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41You really don't want it? OK, I will take this one, then.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44The captain does it. Against whom? One of the women.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Lisa likes to sing, so I'm not going to go there.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50She does like to sing, that is true. I'll take Judith on. OK.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It is going to be Ross from The Chemical Brummers
0:18:52 > 0:18:54versus Judith on Music.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Please go to the Question Room and we will see what happens.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Ross, we like your team name, by the way, The Chemical Brummers.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Who thought of that?
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Actually - I can't not say this because she will kill me -
0:19:07 > 0:19:09it was Reece's girlfriend came up with it.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12We needed something that united us as a team,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16sort of says what we do, and she had the little brainwave.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So, thank you, Fran, if you're watching. JEREMY LAUGHS
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Judith, do you know what The Chemical Brummers
0:19:20 > 0:19:23is a reference to? The Chemical Brothers. That's right.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Are they on your list? Are they on your MP3 player?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Well, they're a band, aren't they? Yeah. Do you listen to them a bit?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31No. THEY LAUGH
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'm afraid not.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35That one run into the sand a bit, Ross, didn't it?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Are you ready on Music, Ross? As I'll ever be, yes. Good luck.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42See if you can turn it round here, because you have lost two players,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44but if you knock Judith out, you'll go into the final level.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54And here is your first question, Ross. Good luck.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59"I sit and wait Does an angel contemplate my fate?"
0:19:59 > 0:20:04are the first lines of a famous song by which of these singers?
0:20:08 > 0:20:09I am not going to sing it,
0:20:09 > 0:20:13but I'm fairly confident it is Robbie Williams.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15I think it is Angels.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17"I think it is," and it is Robbie, you're right.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Robbie Williams. Well done.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Judith, here is your first question.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Stuart Sutcliffe, who died in 1962, played as a bassist in which band?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31It has got to be The Beatles, hasn't it? From the dates.
0:20:31 > 0:20:341962, you say? 1962.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Well, it has got to be The Beatles.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37It's got to be The Beatles, you're quite right.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39OK, Ross.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41The sorcerer Von Rothbart
0:20:41 > 0:20:45is a character in which Tchaikovsky ballet?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Ooh.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53A sorcerer?
0:20:53 > 0:20:59To me, that sort of suggests it might be Sleeping Beauty related.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02But honestly, I don't know. Erm...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Am I going to go for The Sleeping Beauty
0:21:04 > 0:21:07or am I going to go for The Nutcracker? Er...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I am going to go for The Nutcracker. Right.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I might have done that, and I have seen The Nutcracker,
0:21:12 > 0:21:13and it is still wrong.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15It is Swan Lake. I'm sorry. Oh. Yeah.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17OK, Judith.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19See if you can exercise your sorcery here.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23By what name are the Swedish pop duo
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle better known?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I have absolutely no idea.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Why would they have called themselves The Cardigans?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37That is not a very glamorous name, is it?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I don't know. Perhaps they are called A-ha.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43They were all men.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45No idea.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Roxette is the answer.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51OK? So, it is one each after two questions.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Ross, your question.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54We are back in 1962.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58In 1962, who became the first British group
0:21:58 > 0:22:01to top the American singles charts with Telstar?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I have absolutely no idea, Jeremy.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Um...not a clue.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I am just going to go down the middle -
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Freddie And The Dreamers, please.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20It is The Tornados. Gives Judith a chance.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Which Russian-born composer became a French citizen in 1934
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and a US citizen in 1945?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I think that is Stravinsky.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38I hope it was him.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41It was indeed Stravinsky. Well done, Judith.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43You were back on home territory at the end there.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45You have won the round. Hurray!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48It means there's an advantage to the Eggheads going into the final.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Sorry, Ross. That's all right. You're going to have to watch
0:22:50 > 0:22:52your team in the final from the sidelines.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Come back to us and we'll play that final round.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:23:00 > 0:23:01is General Knowledge.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:04 > 0:23:06won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11So, Ross, Jonny and Reece from The Chemical Brummers
0:23:11 > 0:23:14and Dave from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18A lot of money on the table for you, Kings and Matt.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I really hope you do well here.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24You're playing to win The Chemical Brummers ?13,000.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Pat, Lisa, Kevin and Judith, you are playing for something
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I don't think money can buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Very strong it is at the moment, too.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You are allowed to confer.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Chemical Brummers, the question is, are your two brains
0:23:43 > 0:23:47able to chemically dismantle those four,
0:23:47 > 0:23:48take them apart in the test tube?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52We'd like to go first, Jeremy.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57OK, all the best to you guys. Here we go.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Which serviceman was portrayed by Bradley Cooper in the 2014 film
0:24:02 > 0:24:03American Sniper?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Chris Kyle. Yeah.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12We have both seen this, and we're going to go for Chris Kyle,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14please, Jeremy.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Chris Kyle is right. Yeah. Not with us any more, sadly.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22OK, Eggheads, your question. Which of these foods is a type of sausage?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Mortadella. Mortadella?
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Mortadella. Mortadella. Yep.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Mortadella? Yeah, cool.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Mozzarella and mascarpone are types of cheese.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34It can only be mortadella.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Mortadella is quite right. Has anyone had a mortadella? Oh, yes. Yes.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Tasty? Very nice. Garlicky stuff.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Once upon a time, it was made of donkey, apparently.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44But I think it is a pork sausage now.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46General Knowledge, your second question.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51Which of these numbers features in the Fibonacci series of numbers?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58So, Fibonacci - one, one, isn't it?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Yeah - one, one, two, five...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Two, three, five, eight...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06..13...
0:25:06 > 0:25:0821. Yeah. I think you're right.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Because you add the two previous... Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, I think it's 21.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14It is 21. So, how were you doing it?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17You go one plus one is two, one plus two...
0:25:17 > 0:25:19You add the two previous numbers in the sequence.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Right. So, it goes one, one, three, five, eight, 13, 21.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24And 21 is the right answer.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Eggheads, your question.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Lake Tahoe lies on the border of California and which other US state?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Nevada. It would make sense, wouldn't it?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40California and Arizona have a border? They do.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43But it is definitely on the California-Nevada border?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46California borders all three, but it's on the border with Nevada.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Definitely the California-Nevada border. OK.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I am reliably informed it is on the border with Nevada.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Nevada is the right answer.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55So, two-two. Third question.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Big one, this, for you.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Get this one right and you may have done all you need to do.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Which Australian author won the 2014 Booker Prize with his novel
0:26:04 > 0:26:07The Narrow Road To The Deep North?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Do you have any...? I have no idea what this is.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21This is going to be a bit of a one-off stab for us. Um...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24What...? Yeah, I don't know at all. I can't really...hmm.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26HE SIGHS
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I have an idea what I would guess,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31but you're the Arts Books expert here.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Yeah.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Um... I don't know.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I would probably guess Thomas Keneally.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40What do you think you would have gone for?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43It doesn't matter, really.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Shall we just go for it? Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48We're not sure about all.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52We're going to go with Thomas Keneally. OK.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Eggheads, do you know? Flanagan. Richard Flanagan. Yeah.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Richard Flanagan, it is.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59It is a tough one, that. Bad luck, you got it wrong.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Flanagan it is, which means the Eggheads can take the contest
0:27:02 > 0:27:04with this question.
0:27:04 > 0:27:11Which footballer, who earned 76 caps for England between 1946 and 1958,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13was nicknamed the Preston Plumber?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20I'm sure it's Tommy Finney. Tom Finney. Yeah. Tom Finney.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24We think that is Tom Finney.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Very little discussion. You seemed to know that straightaway.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Is that because he is from Preston? Yeah, he was one of the great...
0:27:30 > 0:27:35One of the greatest players of his day, a real star for England.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37The correct answer...
0:27:37 > 0:27:40is Tom Finney, so we say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41You have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51It was tight at the end there. I'm sorry, just on that one question.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Just not our strong suit, I think. Yeah, bad luck.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56They played well, they are playing well,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58and we say commiserations to The Chemical Brummers.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Your winning streak continues.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05It does mean you won't be going home with the ?13,000,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08so we roll that money over to the next show.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Eggheads, well done. You are officially playing well.
