0:00:05 > 0:00:09These 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.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:32pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads. How are you feeling today? ALL: Good.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Indefatigable. Indefatigable, says Chris.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41OK. Hoping to beat the might of the Eggs today
0:00:41 > 0:00:44are Bright-On Ideas from - you guessed it -
0:00:44 > 0:00:47the lovely south coast town of Brighton.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Everyone on this team has an association
0:00:49 > 0:00:52with the town's historic pier. Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54My name's Paul and I work in removals.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Amanda and I'm a doctor's transcriber.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Pete and I'm a Java developer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Sophie and I'm a project manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, my name is Tim and I work in removals.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Paul, team, welcome. Good to see you. Thank you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09A lot of us know Brighton Pier,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12which is a wonderful national institution really, isn't it?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It was a great place to work, fantastic.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16You were selling food on it?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I was selling food, drinks, ice creams, all that. In the kiosks?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Yeah, about 15 or 16. About 100 staff. It was fantastic.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25What a fantastic thing to do. Fantastic summers, yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28In just summers or winters? Summers. We used to travel in the winter.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31So, how many of you worked at one point on Brighton Pier? Four of us.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Oh, OK. There are lots of pier questions that come up on the quiz.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38That's good. The longest pier in the country is...?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41EGGHEADS: Southend. See, they all know it. Anyway, good luck.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Every day there is ?1,000-worth of cash
0:01:43 > 0:01:46up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So, Bright-On Ideas, you've timed your run well,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55cos the Eggheads have put a bit of a streak together.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56They've won the last 14,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00so that means ?15,000 is on the table for you to win
0:02:00 > 0:02:01and take back and spend on the pier.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Wonderful. That'll last a while. A lot of ice cream! Yeah!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Who would like Science? That'll be Tim.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14OK, Tim at the end. Against which Egghead, Tim?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Um, I think I'll choose Judith.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21So, Tim from Bright-On Ideas versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24She once beat a rocket scientist on Science as well, I have to tell you.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27But he didn't know anything else but rocket science.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29No, he didn't. LAUGHTER
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Please go to the Question Room now.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Tim, the moment of truth. You're up against Judith on Science.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Would you like to go first or second? I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Here is your first question. Good luck.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48It was announced in early 2015 that the diplodocus skeleton,
0:02:48 > 0:02:53on display in the large Hintze Hall of London's Natural History Museum,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57was to be replaced with the skeleton of which other creature?
0:02:59 > 0:03:04Um, I've visited the Natural History Museum quite recently,
0:03:04 > 0:03:09where the diplodocus was still there and I happen to know it.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12The answer to this is whale.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Whale is correct. They needed something big to go in its place.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Judith, here's your first question.
0:03:19 > 0:03:2136 inches or 3 feet is the equivalent
0:03:21 > 0:03:24of which imperial unit of measurement?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I thought that was going to be really difficult.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34It's a yard. It is a yard. Well done.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36OK, we're playing well so far.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Tim, over to you.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Of the eight planets in our solar system, how many have no moons?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47How many have NO moons? Right. Um...
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I don't think Mercury has a moon.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I don't think Venus has. I think most of them have.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59I'm going to have to go with...two.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Brilliant play. It is two, yeah.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I wouldn't have known where to start. Is he right, Barry? You'll know this.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Yes, Mercury and Venus.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Right, interesting. Didn't know that.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Judith...
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Each molecule of water contains two atoms of which element?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19H2O.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21H2... Um...
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Hydrogen. Hydrogen is correct, yes.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28So, two each. Back to you, Tim.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34The name of which device derives from the Greek for "view beautiful forms"?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Well, an oscilloscope is for measuring electronic frequencies
0:04:43 > 0:04:47and such. Microscope can see any form, beautiful or not beautiful.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Kaleidoscope is all pretty colours, so I'm going to go for kaleidoscope.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Kaleidoscope is quite right. Are you a scientist in disguise here?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58You're sounding very scientific here.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I'm an amateur. I'm a keen amateur. Right. Yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03OK, Judith your question to stay in.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09Which of these types of creatures typically have four-chambered hearts?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Four-chambered hearts? Hearts with four chambers. Yes.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Divided into four. Um...
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I'm trying to think.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Oh, dear.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Why would fish? I don't think fish do.
0:05:25 > 0:05:32I'm trying to think of...dissecting things and looking inside a fish.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Birds... I think it's reptiles.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Anyone know this in the Eggheads side? Oh, you don't know. Not really.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44I'm more inclined to birds. Kevin likes birds.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Anyone on this side? No idea. Tim, you'll know.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I think it's birds. Yeah, it IS birds.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53It's birds. You've been knocked out, Judith. Well done, Tim.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56First blood to Brighton Pier.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59OK, both of you come back to us. We'll play on.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04As it stands, Bright-On Ideas have lost no brains. They're doing well.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The Eggheads have lost Judith and that could be painful
0:06:07 > 0:06:09in the final cos Judith brings that extra thing.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11The next subject is Sport.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Who would like this? That's you, isn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16That'll be me. Wow, you're deciding quickly here.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20OK, you're going to make light work of these Eggs if this continues.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I'm going to try and take on Chris.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26OK, Chris on Sport. You can try! LAUGHTER
0:06:26 > 0:06:29It never happens that you've been chosen on Sport, does it, Chris?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Never, ever, ever, in the entire History of Eggheads,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34going right back to the last show.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38So, Peter from Bright-On Ideas, Chris from the Eggheads,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43All right, we're on Sport.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Pete, would you like to go first or second? I'll go first.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Here is your question, Pete.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54What term is often used to describe the type of kick
0:06:54 > 0:06:57swimmers use to perform the breaststroke?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Well, you've got to look at the motion of the kick, I suppose.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I don't know how gerbils kick.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Horses kick with one leg, so it must be a frog kick.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Frog kick is the right answer.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Chris,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15in which of these winter sports do competitors wear ice skates?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Er, well...
0:07:20 > 0:07:25They hack each other's shins in ice hockey, so it's ice hockey.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Ice hockey is the right answer. Well done.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Here's your question, Pete.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32When Fernando Torres left Liverpool for Chelsea in 2011,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35what was the reported record transfer fee?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Um, now...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45?30 million sounds a bit too low for me.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I think ?70 million's been done since.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I'm going to go with ?50 million. Yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I think that question has been put in to annoy ME. Yes!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56?50 million. Quite right.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58OK, Chris.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01In which American city is the Major League Baseball team
0:08:01 > 0:08:04known as the Mets located?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Well, there used to be two major teams,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12the Dodgers and the Mets in New York.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15New York is correct, so you've both got 2 points.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Try and get this one right, Pete.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Put some pressure on our Chris.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24The American Charlie Sifford, who died in 2015 at the age of 92,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27was a pioneer for civil rights in which sport?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Now, let me see.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Um, I don't think it's tennis, for some reason,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37so I'm looking at golf or horse racing.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I don't know too much about horse racing,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44so I'm going to go with golf. Yeah, golf it is.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47OK, Chris, your question to stay in.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53Which footballer was the top goal scorer at the 1978 FIFA World Cup?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I don't think it was Gerd Muller.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I don't think it was Paolo Rossi. I'll go with Mario Kempes.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Brilliant. Well, well, well, is he right, Dave?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Absolutely right. 1978 was Mario Kempes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16I think Rossi was '82 and Muller was 1970, top scorer. So, yes.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Well done, Chris. Mario Kempes is right. Well done, Chris.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Three out of three on Sport. A little celebration?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25OK, Pete, we're on Sudden Death now.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28You're annoying Chris a bit, but you haven't knocked him out yet.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34The TV presenter Georgie Thompson announced her engagement
0:09:34 > 0:09:38to which Olympic sailing champion in 2014?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Well, only one springs to mind and I'll go with Ben Ainslie.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Ben Ainslie is correct. Sudden Death.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Over to you, Chris. Sport - your favourite subject.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50In which city did the swimmer Sharron Davies win an Olympic silver medal?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Sharron Davies... Ooh, '80s.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57'84. Montreal?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00No, he was unlucky. Eggs, do you know?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Moscow. Moscow, 1980. Moscow.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05400 metres individual medley. Sudden Death,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07and I'm afraid you've just died, Chris.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Peter, you're going to be in the final.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Hey, it's going well. APPLAUSE
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Brighton is playing very well here. This is getting interesting.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Please return to your teams.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Well, it's a surge, I think, this, isn't it? Let's hope so.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26We really are surging here. Bright-On Ideas have lost no brains so far.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30The Eggheads have lost two. The next subject is Geography.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Who would like this? I'll take that one.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34OK, Paul, no hesitation.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Who would you like to play against? Who do you think then, guys?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41There's only a choice of three. Go for whoever you like.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Dave. I'd go Dave. Yeah.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Right, Paul from Bright-On Ideas, Dave from the Eggheads,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49the subject Geography. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Paul, are you well-travelled? This being the Geography round.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I am well-travelled. I've been round the world twice, so...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00And what's the most unusual place you've lived?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01I lived in China for two years,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05but the most unusual place I've visited is Papua New Guinea.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Good luck. Geography. Would you like to go first or second? First.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Here is your first question and good luck.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16What is the state capital of Massachusetts?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I don't know, actually, but it's obviously not New York.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Is it Boston or Chicago though?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Um, I will go with Boston.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Well done, you got it right. That's a relief. Chicago's Illinois. Oh!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34OK, Dave.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Which city is home to the Royal Northern College of Music?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40DAVE LAUGHS
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Should I go for the million YouTube hits or what?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Er... DAVE LAUGHS
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Royal Northern College of Music.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It's about three miles away from where I live. It's in Manchester.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Manchester is the right answer. Well done. It might have stumped others.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59OK, Paul.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Portuguese is the official language of which South American country?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09World Cup there recently, so that would be Brazil.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Nicely done. Brazil it is. Two out of two. Dave.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15According to the country's 2011 census,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18what is the approximate population of Greece?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I don't believe it's 78 or 45. I'll go for the low end.
0:12:25 > 0:12:2811 million, please. Yes, it's 11 million. Well done.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Back with you, Paul, for your third question.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Irkutsk near Lake Baikal is one of the largest cities
0:12:35 > 0:12:37in which geographical region?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Um, if I remember my Risk game-playing, it's Siberia.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50What is the risk reference? Irkutsk is an area in Risk, a board game.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Oh, OK. Siberia is right.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Well done, three out of three,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57in record time as well. OK, Dave, to stay in.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00The Australian territory of Christmas Island is so-called
0:13:00 > 0:13:04because it was reportedly discovered on Christmas Day in which year?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Oh, deary me. No idea at all. Um...
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Thinking of when they'd go over to settle.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I'm just going to have a guess at 1643. You got it right.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I thought you were going to go down the middle there.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28So, well done, Dave and well done to you as well, Paul.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31You both got three out of three. We go to Sudden Death again.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33It's such an exciting contest.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives, Paul. So, here we go.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Which major Spanish river takes its name from the Arabic Wadi Al-Kabir,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46meaning "great river"?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I don't know the name of any Spanish rivers. Um...
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Red River? I don't know, sorry. Anyone know this on this side?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Is it the Guadalquivir? It is the Guadalquivir.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Well, OK, so Sophie's got it. Guadalquivir is the answer.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So, for the round, Dave,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10the name of which urban area in South Africa is an acronym
0:14:10 > 0:14:14formed by the abbreviation of Southwestern townships?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Soweto. Soweto is the right answer and you've taken the round,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19so the Eggheads have pulled one back.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Paul, the captain, has been knocked out.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Is it on the turn here? Let's see.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Come back to us. We'll play the next round.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30As it stands, Bright-On ideas have lost a brain now.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Not worried yet? No, we're fine, yeah. OK.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Push them all off the end of the pier...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39LAUGHTER ..if they cut up rough.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42The Eggheads have lost two. The next subject is Music.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Who would like this? I'm going to give it a go, Jeremy. OK, Amanda.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51And against which Egghead? Go for Barry. Barry, please. All right.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53So, Amanda from Brighton-On Ideas, Barry from the Eggheads,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57just to make sure there's no conferring, go to the Question Room.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02We're on Music and I know lots of your team love music,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I guess you as well. Yes, indeed.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Would you like to go first or second against our Barry?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Here we go, Amanda.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15In which decade did Bryan Ferry find fame
0:15:15 > 0:15:18as the lead singer of the band Roxy Music?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25That'll be the 1970s, Jeremy. Indeed. Indeed it was.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27OK, Barry, without the beard.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30You wrecked my nickname for you when you took your beard off.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33In early 2015, Katy Perry performed
0:15:33 > 0:15:37a series of her greatest hits during which sporting event?
0:15:41 > 0:15:42I actually watched this event.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44It was the first time I'd ever watched it
0:15:44 > 0:15:47and I thought Katy Perry was absolutely stupendous
0:15:47 > 0:15:50and it was in Superbowl. Superbowl is right.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Amanda, back to you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Which of the following appears
0:15:53 > 0:15:56on Rihanna's 2015 single FourFiveSeconds?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01FourFiveSeconds.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05F-O-U-R-F-I-V-E-S-E-C-O-N-D-S, no spaces.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10I really don't know this one, so I am going to go for Bob Dylan.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14It's not. It's Paul McCartney, who's playing bass, I think.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16OK, Barry,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20your question to take the lead. Which West Coast US city is often called
0:16:20 > 0:16:24the birthplace of the grunge movement of the 1990s?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30My children were very much into Nirvana when they were younger
0:16:30 > 0:16:32and I know that Nirvana came from Seattle,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34so I'm guessing that's the right answer.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37You're absolutely right. Smells Like Teen Spirit.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Seattle is the right answer. So, you're in the lead.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Amanda, you need to get this one right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47BBC Music produced a cover version of which Beach Boys song in 2014,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50featuring, among others, Pharrell Williams, Elton John,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Chris Martin and One Direction?
0:16:55 > 0:16:59I believe that was God Only Knows. It was God Only Knows. Well done.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02You're level, but Barry can take the round with this question.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07In which country, Barry, was the composer Samuel Barber born?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Samuel Barber is one of my favourite composers.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16His Adagio For Strings is one of the most moving pieces of music
0:17:16 > 0:17:20I've ever heard and I believe he was American, so he was born in the USA.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23USA is right, so, Barry, you've got the round.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Sorry, Amanda, you've been knocked out.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Teams are level now, going into the final. Let's play it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Please come back.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Just before we play the final, on the matter of FourFiveSeconds,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38this record with, what was it, Dave? Rihanna...
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Kanye West and Paul McCartney. And there was some chatter around it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Yeah, there was some chatter there where people were tweeting,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48"This is brilliant, this Paul McCartney who's with Kanye West.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50"Where did you find him from?"
0:17:50 > 0:17:52LAUGHTER Isn't that great?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55OK, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58It's time for the final round, which is General Knowledge.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:18:00 > 0:18:02won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05but equal numbers from both sides. Been a great contest.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Paul and Amanda from Bright-On Ideas
0:18:07 > 0:18:09and Judith and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I have to ask you, please, to leave the studio.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16So, Pete, Sophie and Tim,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19you are playing to win Bright-On Ideas ?15,000.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Let's just remind ourselves how big that jackpot is.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Dave, Kevin and Barry, you're playing for something that money can't buy.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I think it's incalculably precious, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35They're all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37So, Bright-On Ideas, the question is
0:18:37 > 0:18:41can you, with your three brains, defeat the Eggheads' three over here?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You don't have to answer that question.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Just tell me if you want to go first or second. First, please.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Here we go, with your first question on General Knowledge.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56In the folk tale known variously as Chicken Licken,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Henny Penny or Chicken Little,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02which item is commonly said to land on the central character's head
0:19:02 > 0:19:05that makes them believe that the sky is falling down?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14You all look to me, the one with the kids, but you have kids too.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I do, but they're a bit older than your kids.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19They are a bit, but it's an old story. I think...
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I KNOW it's an acorn. Right, we're happy with that. Happy with that?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25We'd like to go for acorn, please.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Acorn is the right answer. Well done. Excellent.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29OK, over to you, Eggheads.
0:19:29 > 0:19:35In terms of film and video, what does the abbreviation FPS stand for?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42ALL: Frames per second.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46It's the ratio of the speed of film. It's frames per second.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Frames per second is quite right. Well done.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51One each. Back to you.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56?15,000. By what name is the English fashion and beauty vlogger
0:19:56 > 0:20:00and internet star Zoe Sugg better known?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I know this. Is it Zoella? You know it, do you? Cos I don't.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10My daughter watches her all the time.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I thought Suggzie was Adam Ant! Yeah, my daughter watches her.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Zoella, happy with that? Yeah, we're going to go with Zoella.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Yeah, it is Zoella. Well done. Excellent.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK, Eggheads.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Anthroponomastics is the study of what?
0:20:27 > 0:20:32It's all one word. Anthro-pono-mastics. Pono is P-O-N-O.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34P-O-N-O.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'm thinking it might be names,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39but if it were feet it would be "podo" wouldn't it?
0:20:39 > 0:20:46I'd go with names. And anxieties would be phobialiosis or something.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50So, "mastics". Mastics... It's where you put the pronunciation.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Yeah. Yeah. Anthropo-nomastics. Ah, that makes it clearer for names.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58So, that's names then. It makes more sense, doesn't it? OK. Yeah.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00People's names. Yes, you're right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03People's names. And as you were saying that,
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I realised I'd read it in a very unhelpful way.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10So it's anthropo-nomastics, rather than anthropono-mastics.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13But I don't regret it. No, not at all.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18People's names. What have we got here? 2-2.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Get this one right and then see them tremble.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The basset hound was originally bred in which country?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Right, any clues?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Basset... INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I was erring on the side of France.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37If you think "bass-ay", rather than "basset". Right, OK.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Are we happy with France? Yeah. Let's go for it.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Because of the name, we think... We are going for France.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Wow, you got there quickly. Yes, "basse" or "bas", French for "low".
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Basset hound originally bred in France. Well done. Yeah!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Three out of three. We can ask for no more.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Impressive, this team of Challengers here.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59?15,000 on the table. Eggheads, you get this wrong, it's theirs.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You don't have to do another stroke of work. Today, at least.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06OK, Eggheads, your third question.
0:22:06 > 0:22:12Which American TV presenter was born in a London Tube station?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Springer was born in London. During the war...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Definitely. The other two... Yeah, the other two aren't.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26That is Jerry Springer. Jerry Springer is correct.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29So, the Eggheads are still in play here.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Three questions each. The scores are level.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It couldn't be tighter. We go to Sudden Death.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37It gets a bit more tricky cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Here we go, Challengers. Good luck.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Thornton Wilder's play The Merchant Of Yonkers
0:22:43 > 0:22:48eventually developed into which musical, first produced in 1964?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Merchant Of Yonkers... Is it...?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Merchant... Is it...? Death Of A S...
0:22:53 > 0:22:57No, it's... I think it might be "Hello, Dolly!"
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I have absolutely no idea. This is your subject.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04It's more... Death Of A Salesman is not a musical. No.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06But I think... It would be a good one, though.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I think that it's "Hello, Dolly!"
0:23:09 > 0:23:13"Hello, Dolly!" is correct. Yes! You're playing well, Sophie.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18OK, Eggheads, Sudden Death.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Who was the first Director-General of the BBC?
0:23:21 > 0:23:26That must be Lord Reith. Lord Reith. Surely. Yeah. It's Lord Reith.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28It was Lord Reith.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Do you want John as well? I need the first name and the surname.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I reckon it's... Or was he William?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I don't know. I thought it was John, but let's have a think.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:23:46 > 0:23:51We're not 100% certain at all on the first name, but John Reith.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Lord Reith would have been right, but I couldn't have given you that.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58John Reith is correct. Well done. If you'd got the first name wrong,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00we would have been in a real pickle here.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Those are the rules. That's true, although Lord Reith, you know...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06He was Lord Reith! Yep.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08John Reith. John Reith, you've said it and it's right
0:24:08 > 0:24:12and sorry, they're still in it. But you haven't made a mistake so far.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Here's your question. In 1987, who became the first woman
0:24:16 > 0:24:19to be appointed editor of the Sunday Mirror?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23God... That's too early for Rebekah Brooks.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27I think it might be Eve Pollard. That sounds...
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Yeah? I think it might be Eve Pollard.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Are you happy to go for that?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I'm happy to go with that cos I really don't know.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35We're going to go for Eve Pollard.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Eve Pollard is correct. Star! Well done, Soph.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Do you know who she's the mother of?
0:24:40 > 0:24:44She is the mother of... Sue Pollard. Claudia Winkleman.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Yeah, Claudia Winkleman. Yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48OK, Eggheads,
0:24:48 > 0:24:52which word for a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts
0:24:52 > 0:24:54comes from the French for "dreaming"?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Reverie? Reverie, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01French for "dream" is "reve", so you're in a reverie.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Reverie is quite right.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Back to you, Challengers.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08The name of which actor, the star of many Westerns,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12is the nickname of the number 6 in bingo?
0:25:12 > 0:25:146. Number 6...
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Ain't got a clue, number 6.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Clickety-click, number 6. John Wayne.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Clickety-click. That's 66, isn't it? Yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25INAUDIBLE DISCUSSION
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Tom Mix... We need a first name and a surname.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32If Tom Mix was an actor in Westerns... OK. Got to be right.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34We're going to go for Tom Mix.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38You're brilliant! Tom Mix is right. You are...
0:25:38 > 0:25:42So, you've been saved till the end, Sophie, I'm sensing. My goodness me.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I thought that you were out of the game there. My goodness, you're good!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Eggheads, you need to get this question right.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53Which term, derived from the Greek words for "end" and "a line of verse"
0:25:53 > 0:25:56is given to a poem in which the first letters of each line
0:25:56 > 0:25:58read downwards to form words?
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Acrostic. It's an acrostic, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Acrostic.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06That sounds like a definition of an acrostic. Acrostic is correct.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Sudden Death. We don't get many finals this long.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Whoo! AND the jackpot is big!
0:26:14 > 0:26:16OK, you're doing brilliantly, Challengers.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Here's your next question.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Which artist created the long-running comic strip
0:26:23 > 0:26:28You Are The Ref, which asks and answers hypothetical questions
0:26:28 > 0:26:30on the rules of association football?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Right, name some comics. Obviously, I only know Bunty.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Comic. Dandy? Remember he said it was artist.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Oh, artist. It was artist.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Oh, right, artist. Who've you got? You've got Gerald Scarf. Steve Bell.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Does cartoons, doesn't he? Mmm. Matt in the Telegraph.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Steve Bell. He's been going...
0:26:48 > 0:26:54I remember it from when I was a boy, so we're looking at '70s and '80s.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Genuinely, I would have no idea.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Early '80s. I don't know, mate. Shall we go Steve Bell?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03There's a lot of papers.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Go for Steve Bell? Yeah. Go for that.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09We don't really know, but we're going to go for Steve Bell.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Steve Bell, you say. So, the comic strip is You Are The Ref.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's been in things like The Guardian, The Observer, Shoot.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18This guy is nicknamed the Master of Movement
0:27:18 > 0:27:20and he's made a career out of sporting portraits.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Not Steve Bell. Paul Trevillion.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Also famously drew Churchill.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28So, Eggheads, you have a chance to take the whole contest
0:27:28 > 0:27:31with this question.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Since the late 1980s,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Trent Reznor has been best known as the frontman
0:27:36 > 0:27:38of which industrial rock group?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Nine Inch Nails? Nine Inch Nails. Definitely. It's Nine Inch Nails.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You don't sound uncertain. No, not on this one. We're not.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Are they right? Yeah. Nine Inch Nails is the right answer.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54APPLAUSE Wow!
0:27:59 > 0:28:03And I know you know that so, ha, commiserations. What a final!
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Even when other people win, they don't often get that far.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09That's the longest run for some time, I think. Yeah. Yep.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Usually, before you've answered that many correct, they've slipped up.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16That's where you were unlucky, actually.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17The Eggheads have done what -
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I was going to say what comes naturally to them -
0:28:20 > 0:28:21but this was not natural today. No.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Their winning streak continues. It's very impressive now, Eggs.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Not taking that away from you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28It does mean the Challengers don't go home with the ?15,000,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31so the money rolls over to our next show. But what a game.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35Well done, Eggheads. Especially well done to Bright-On Ideas.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Absolutely tremendous quizzing.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:39 > 0:28:41have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44?16,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15# Can you feel it?
