0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 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 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are Words In Action from Edinburgh.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now, everyone on this team shares a passion for word games
0:00:41 > 0:00:46and they regularly get together for Scrabble and Countdown competitions.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48So, let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Frances and I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Colin and I'm currently unemployed.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Margot and I'm a retired laboratory assistant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Ann and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Chris and I am a ophthalmic nurse.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, Frances and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And lots of Scrabble, Frances?
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Well, I like playing bridge as well and we met...
0:01:12 > 0:01:18I play Scrabble with Colin and Chris and Margot.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Uh-huh.- And Countdown with Ann.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- So, I sort of connect everybody. - Fantastic.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24And the key to Scrabble seems to be
0:01:24 > 0:01:26knowing which two-letter words you can use,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28but that's no fun that way, is it?
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Well, there are some purists
0:01:29 > 0:01:32who get very upset about these silly words
0:01:32 > 0:01:36and insist on having nice words, real ones.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I tried to put Zen down and I was told you can't use that.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Capital Z.- It's a capital letter. - Yes, capital letter.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44But you can use X-I, apparently.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Yes, it's some obscure coin or something, that.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Oh, dear. Sounds like the game's being ruined now.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Not at all.- Good luck. - Thank you.- Thanks.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:54 > 0:01:55up for grabs for our Challengers,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57however if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I know you know that. Words In Action,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I can tell you that the previous teams have basically all fallen.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07The Eggheads have won the last 15,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10so you are playing for £16,000 today.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Ooh!- So, that is a proper jackpot.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Shall we get cracking?- Yep.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15OK, the first head-to-head battle
0:02:15 > 0:02:18is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20So, who would like this?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Who's going to go?- MARGOT:- Not me.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27Well, I think, it looks as if it's the captain's job, then.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- So, I'll go. - I heard someone say "not me."
0:02:29 > 0:02:32LAUGHTER I don't know who that was.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36OK, Frances. And which Egghead, Frances, would you like to take on?
0:02:36 > 0:02:37The choice is yours.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- I think I'll try... - Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- ..Chris.- You haven't been to the cinema for a while, have you?- No.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46The old chestnut. The last film I actually went
0:02:46 > 0:02:48to a cinema to see was Blazing Saddles
0:02:48 > 0:02:50in about 1970-whenever,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52but anything I want to see, I wait until it comes out on DVD.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55There we are. So, you've got a chance here, I think.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Frances from Words In Action versus Chris, who doesn't go to the cinema.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:03:01 > 0:03:02in the Question Room?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- OK, Frances, are you ready to go here?- Yes, I am.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09See if you can scramble Chris.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Oh, first, please.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18And here we go with your question.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Who won the Best Actor Oscar in 2015?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Well, I know that Michael Keaton gave an amazing performance
0:03:29 > 0:03:34and I'm afraid I am booked on not knowing Bradley Cooper,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36but I'm pretty sure it's Eddie Redmayne.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Yeah, Michael Keaton was Birdman.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Bradley Cooper was American Sniper, was he? Yeah.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44And of course, Eddie Redmayne was the best officially
0:03:44 > 0:03:47with his performance as Stephen Hawking. Well done.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Chris, your question.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51The story of the 1946 film It's A Wonderful Life
0:03:51 > 0:03:53begins on which night of the year?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00It's Jimmy Stewart having a total crisis
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and thinking of committing suicide on Christmas Eve.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Christmas Eve is the right answer.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07And back to you, Frances.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Who played Sophie Chapman in the TV sitcom Peep Show?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Mm. I'm really not sure about this one.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I think I'm going to go for Sophie Winkelman.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Anyone here know on the Eggheads' side?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28I think it Isy Suttie.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29It's not Isy, it's not Sophie, it's...
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Oh, right.- It's Olivia Coleman. - Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Chris, your question.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Which of these film sequels was released in the UK in 2015?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Mm. Well, Die Hard 3 was a long time ago.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Has there been an Under Siege 3? I don't think there has.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49No. It's Taken 3.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Taken 3 is quite right.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54OK, Frances, he's got two, you've got one. Your question.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Vince Gilligan is the creator of which of these American drama series?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Well, I don't think I've ever heard of the middle one, Deadwood, sadly.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I think the one that is most familiar to me
0:05:11 > 0:05:14and better known is The Wire. So, I'm going to say The Wire.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16It's not.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- He is the genius behind Breaking Bad. - Oh!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22So, sorry, Frances. I don't think you can get back
0:05:22 > 0:05:24from that position. You've been knocked out.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Chris will be in the final round.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28No need for his third question. Come back to us both of you.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Early days. We will play on.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Well, unfortunately, Words In Action have lost their captain,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38which is painful, I know, but you can still definitely do it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43The next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Who would like this?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Well, unfortunately it was my speciality, so...
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Who is going to go, then?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Well...- Don't all jump forwards at once(!)
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- I think so, Chris, yeah. - Yep.- Yeah, OK, well.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Chris has said he will do it.- OK.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- Can you choose an Egghead, Chris? - What about Barry?- Yeah.- Barry.- Yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- I'll choose Barry.- Well done.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07OK, Chris from Words In Action
0:06:07 > 0:06:11and our own word in action himself, Barry.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13He does love his books, from the Eggheads.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Please go to the Question Room and we will start.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Good luck in this, Chris, against Barry. Arts & Books.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22So, would you like to go first or second?
0:06:22 > 0:06:23I'll go first.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28And here we go with your first question.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32In February 2015, which famous author announced
0:06:32 > 0:06:35that she would be releasing the second novel of her career,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Go Set A Watchman, later in the year?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Right, no, it's not Zadie Smith.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I know that. Erm, I think I know this one.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54It's the sequel to To Kill A Mockingbird
0:06:54 > 0:06:56and that will be Harper Lee.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Indeed it is, Harper Lee. Well done.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00OK, your question, Barry.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01The Queen's Orang-Utan is
0:07:01 > 0:07:05a 2015 children's book written exclusively for Comic Relief
0:07:05 > 0:07:06by which comedian?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Goodness. This one has passed me by.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18I know David Walliams writes children's stories,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21so I'm going to take a guess that it was him, but I really don't know.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24David Walliams is quite right. Well done. Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25OK, your question, Chris.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26The book Rum Punch,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29which was adapted into the film Jackie Brown,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31is a book by which author?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36No.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I don't think it's Jim Thompson,
0:07:40 > 0:07:44so it's either James Ellroy or Elmore Leonard.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I think I'm leaning more towards Elmore Leonard,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51so I'll go with Elmore Leonard.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53OK. Is he right, Eggheads?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Yeah.- Yeah, you are right! - Woo!- Well done.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Two out of two.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Barry, what is the name of Stella's sister
0:08:00 > 0:08:03in Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I believe that is Blanche Dubois,
0:08:09 > 0:08:10so it's Blanche.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Blanche is quite right. Well done.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- So, two-two. Chris, your third question.- Yeah.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Born in 1842, the Frenchman Stephane Mallarme
0:08:19 > 0:08:21was a leading figure in which field?
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Actually, I think I've heard... The name is vaguely familiar.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31But I don't think it was painting
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and I don't think it was photography,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37but I think it was poetry.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Poetry is right. Well done.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41OK, well, Barry is under pressure now.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Third question to Barry.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44If you get it wrong, you are out.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Which painter was the son of a miller called Harmen Gerritszoon?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Gerritszoon is the surname of Rembrandt,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56so I'll go for Rembrandt.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Wouldn't it be great if this is the ultimate trick question?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01But, no, it is Rembrandt.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Rembrandt is correct, so three out of three for you both. Well done, Barry.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08And we go to Sudden Death. Both teams playing well.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Gets harder now, Chris, I don't give you alternative answers.- OK.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Which artist's work entitled Triple Elvis
0:09:14 > 0:09:20was sold for 81.9 million in 2014?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Well, the only thing I can think of is Andy Warhol.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Andy Warhol is the right answer.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Nicely done. OK, Barry.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32What is the title of the 1969 novel by George MacDonald Fraser
0:09:32 > 0:09:37that refers to a minor character in Tom Brown's Schooldays?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Now, he wrote a complete series of books about Flashman,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44so I'm not sure if they had subtitles,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47but I'll have to answer Flashman.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Flashman is correct.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Right, over to you, Chris. We are equal here.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Sudden Death, it is very, very tense.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Chris, your question. Which British sculptor died
0:09:56 > 0:10:02in May 1975 following an accidental fire at her studio?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Well, if it's...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I think Barbara Hepworth.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Barbara Hepworth is the right answer.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Wow!
0:10:12 > 0:10:13OK, Barry, you are under pressure now.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Here is your question. Sudden Death.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20The play Five Finger Exercise is an early work by which writer?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Is that Tom Stoppard?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23No, it is not. It is Peter Shaffer.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26So, you have been knocked out, Barry.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Great round, Chris. Well done.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- You are in the final. - Oh, thank goodness.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Pulled it back for the Challengers.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Do please rejoin your team-mates.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Well, what a cracking ground that was.- Indeed!
0:10:36 > 0:10:40And well done to you, Chris. You saw him off and he was very tenacious.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Barry always is.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43So, Words In Action have lost a brain,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46but now the Eggheads have lost one too.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49And your next subject, Challengers, is History.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Again, I'm thinking this is good for you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Ann, do you feel...?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I think you are the favourite at this stage.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- It was my worst subject at school. - Oh, no.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- What about you, Margot?- Me, no.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Well, unfortunately, Chris was our history specialist.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06We've all shuffled around in an unfortunate manner here.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I suppose I...I'll be the sacrificial lamb.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Lamb to the slaughter, I'm afraid.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- OK, you were a teacher, Ann, were you?- Yes, but not of history.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Not a history. OK. What did you teach?- Maths.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Maths.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- That is quite a long way from history.- Indeed.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22But don't worry. Ann, before you go, choose an Egghead.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Oh, let's have CJ.- Yeah, have CJ.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29It's rude not to. LAUGHTER
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Ann from Words In Action
0:11:30 > 0:11:33versus CJ from the Eggheads on History.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36And he likes that, so this will be fun.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Please go to our Question Room now.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42So, Ann, I know History is not your, maybe, your chosen subject.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44You would have rather had maths.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Indeed, yes. - Meanwhile, we are on History
0:11:46 > 0:11:48and would you like to go first or second?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I'll follow the others and go first, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Here we go. Good luck, Ann.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Where did the soldier and explorer Captain Lawrence Oates
0:11:59 > 0:12:01die in 1912?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Yes, I have read quite a lot about this
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and I saw an excellent exhibition
0:12:10 > 0:12:12on the Antarctic some time ago.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14So, the Antarctic.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Antarctic is the right answer. Well done.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19CJ your question. The Entente Cordiale was an agreement
0:12:19 > 0:12:23signed on 8 April 1904
0:12:23 > 0:12:25between France and which country?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31That was between France and the United Kingdom.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33United Kingdom is correct.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Back to you, Ann.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Which of these historical figures died in 1976?
0:12:42 > 0:12:451976...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I think is too late for Stalin,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51too late for Che Guevara.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I think it's Mao Zedong.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56It is indeed Chairman Mao. Well done. Mao Zedong.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58OK, CJ.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00John Adams served as vice president
0:13:00 > 0:13:03of the USA under which president?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Well, John Adams was
0:13:08 > 0:13:10the second US president, which would make sense
0:13:10 > 0:13:12that he would serve under the first US president.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14So, I'll say George Washington.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15George Washington is the right answer.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18You actually sit round and learn those lists, don't you?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- I like US presidents.- Yeah.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22All right. Back to you, Ann.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25The Welshman Owain Glyndwr led a rebellion
0:13:25 > 0:13:27against the rule of which king of England?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Owain Glyndwr. I don't think it was Stephen, but I could well be wrong.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It's a...
0:13:40 > 0:13:44not really more than a guess. Henry IV.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Is she right, CJ?- No, it's Edward II.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Oh, dear.- Isn't it?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51You are right, Ann. It's Henry IV.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- I thought it was Edward. - There we are.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56CJ is giving you some of his classic moments today.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58All right, your third question.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Unfortunately, that wasn't your third question. This one is.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04What name is given to the Roman province set up by Augustus
0:14:04 > 0:14:06that covered the area of Gaul
0:14:06 > 0:14:08from the Pyrenees to the River Loire?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19This is even less of a guess than Ann's question,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21so I'll try Lugdunensis.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Let's see with the Eggheads. Eggs?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- ALL:- Aquitania. - Aquitania is the answer.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27CJ, you've been knocked out by Ann. Well done, Ann!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30You are in the final round. How about that?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Without a single maths question.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35So do, both of you, please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40So, as it stands, Words In Action have lost one brain
0:14:40 > 0:14:42from the final round. The Eggheads have now lost two.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45And we've got lots of money on the table as well today.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47The next subject is Music
0:14:47 > 0:14:51and the last subject before the final, so crucial moment.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52It's our last round, so Music.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Well, you said you'd do music, Colin.- Margot is not keen. Did I?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Yeah.- So, Colin. OK, which Egghead?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I think we best go for Judith.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04OK, Colin from Words In Action versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07So, please go to the Question Room and we will get cracking.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- So, Colin, you're a Scrabble player as well.- Yes, indeed.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I didn't realise until today that your name, Colin,
0:15:14 > 0:15:15can be played in Scrabble.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Yeah, my surname can be played as well
0:15:17 > 0:15:19and they are anagrams of each other.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21So, Colin can be played because why?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23It's American quail.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Quail and your surname is Nicol.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Nicol is a prism invented by a guy called
0:15:28 > 0:15:30William Nicol from Edinburgh, strangely enough.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31And you're a fan of music.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- What's your favourite band, Colin? - I'm a big, big fan of Queen.- OK.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Well, good luck in this Music round.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I can't guarantee any Queen questions, but let's see.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I think I'll go second, Jeremy.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48So, Judith, here is your musical question.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Which of these songs is from the musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Summer Nights, that's Grease or something, isn't it?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- And I Dreamed A Dream... - SHE HUMS
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Don't think it's that.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06So, it must be Hushabye Mountain.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08It is Hushabye Mountain.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Where is I Dreamed A Dream from? - Les Miserables.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Les Miserables.- That's right.- Yeah.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Now, here's your question, Colin.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18The saxophone is traditionally found in which section of an orchestra?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25The saxophone would be in the woodwind section.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27It is in the woodwind section.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Judith, "I know a girl called Elsa, she's into Alka-Seltzer,"
0:16:32 > 0:16:35are lines from which Oasis hit single?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I have no idea.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44She sounds like she's got a hangover,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46so maybe She's Electric.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48She's not electric, I'm afraid.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- She is Supersonic. - Oh, she's Supersonic.- Yeah.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52OK, Colin.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Hero, Escape and Not In Love
0:16:55 > 0:16:58are UK hit singles by which singer? Is it...
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Not very sure on this at all, Jeremy.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I would have ruled out Ronan Keating, but that'll probably
0:17:10 > 0:17:13come back to bite me. I'll go for Michael Buble.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It's not Keating or Buble.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17It's an Enrique Iglesias.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Judith, your question.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22In which country is the composer Sergei Rachmaninov buried?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Oh, deary me!
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Well, a lot of Russians go to Fr...went to France.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37But also a lot went to the USA too.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I'm going to plump for France.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I'm not sure, but I think I would either do France or USA.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43But I think I'll do France.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Let's see if any Eggheads here know. Is she right?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49He went into exile in the USA
0:17:49 > 0:17:50and I think...
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I've got an idea he died there during the war.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55In about 1943.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It would make... Given that the war didn't finish
0:17:57 > 0:17:58for another two years,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01it would make sense that he would be in the USA.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02USA is the answer.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Hm.- He went there and died there.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Kevin's amazing list of birth dates and death dates is incre...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10If you took them all out of your head,
0:18:10 > 0:18:14there would be so much space. LAUGHTER
0:18:14 > 0:18:17There's plenty space already, actually.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yeah, that would be an interesting experiment,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- but I don't intend to try it. - No, no. It's fine.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24OK. All right. Well, this is a funny old round.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27So, Colin, you went second.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It means you now, and strangely, have got the initiative
0:18:29 > 0:18:31cos if you get this right, you've knocked out Judith.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35The song Old Devil Moon features in which musical?
0:18:40 > 0:18:45Mm. Not the sort of music question I'd have liked in this situation.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I think I'll go for Finian's Rainbow.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Finian's Rainbow is the correct answer. Well done.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53You've taken the round, Colin.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55With your anagrammatic name.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57And you will be in the final round.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00And if you come back to us, we'll see what happens in the final.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Well, our Challengers playing very, very well here,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06have the advantage going into our final round
0:19:06 > 0:19:08and it is time for the final now.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10As always, it's General Knowledge,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:12 > 0:19:14won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17So, sorry we lose you, Frances,
0:19:17 > 0:19:18the captain from Words In Action.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21But we also lose Judith and Barry AND CJ
0:19:21 > 0:19:23from the Eggheads.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25So, please leave the studio.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Colin, Margot, Ann and Chris,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32you are playing to win Words In Action £16,000.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Kevin and Chris, you are playing for something
0:19:35 > 0:19:36that is maybe even more valuable,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38which is the Egghead's reputation.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45This time, the questions are all General Knowledge and you can confer.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47So, Words In Action, the question is -
0:19:47 > 0:19:50are your four brains able to take down these two?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53They're not small, those brains over there.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57We'd like to go second, please.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01All right, here we go, final round.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04First General Knowledge question to our Eggheads.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06In wrestling, what name is usually given to a partnership
0:20:06 > 0:20:10of two or more competitors who take alternate turns
0:20:10 > 0:20:12in the ring during the same bout?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Tag team.- Are you happy with tag team?- Yep.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Yeah. That is a tag team.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Tag team is right. Tag wrestling, yeah.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24OK, Challengers.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27What is aubergine commonly known as in the USA?
0:20:32 > 0:20:33- ALL:- Eggplant.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35We all agree, eggplant.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37It is. I can't believe in all these years of Eggheads
0:20:37 > 0:20:39and thousands of programmes,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41we've never asked that question before.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44LAUGHTER Eggplant it is.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Eggheads, who is the mother
0:20:45 > 0:20:50of Ashton Kutcher's daughter Wyatt born in 2014?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Hm.- Mila Kunis was pregnant, wasn't she?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00That's true. Ashton Kutcher...
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Or was it Kate Beckinsale?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- She was pregnant as well, wasn't she?- Was she?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I can't remember. She used to be with a film director, didn't she?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Yeah.- Kate Beckinsale.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Mila Kunis was pregnant,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16but so was Kate Beckinsale.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17But if she's with...
0:21:17 > 0:21:19She's not with Ashton Kutcher.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I don't know. I don't think she is.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24I may be wrong about that.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25I don't think she is.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Do you want to try Jessica Biel? - Yeah.- On the basis of...
0:21:29 > 0:21:31On the basis of neither of us know.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33We don't know. We'll go for Jessica Biel.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Jessica Biel is your answer.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Do you know, you guys? Are they right?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I guessed at Mila Kunis, but I don't know.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Yeah, Mila Kunis is the answer.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43You got it wrong, Eggheads.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So, you are zeroing in on quite a lot of money here
0:21:46 > 0:21:48if you can just hold steady.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Here's your second question, Challengers.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53The national flag of which of these countries
0:21:53 > 0:21:58is composed of three horizontal stripes of blue, black and white?
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Blue, black and white.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I'm trying to think if I've seen that at a football match.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08At a football match, was it?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I was... You know, my... Possibly Estonia, but I...
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- I think it's Estonia as well.- OK.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Wait a minute. Chris, do you know?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I have absolutely no idea.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18This is my idea.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20I was thinking it was maybe one
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- of the northern, you know...- Yeah.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Balkan States.- Aye.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26- I would go Estonia.- OK.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Agree, Ann?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Baltic States.- Estonia?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30- Mm-hm.- Ann?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I would, yes, but it's really a...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Yeah, we don't really know.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I think it's a reasonable chance it is Estonia,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38but I wouldn't... On you go, Margot.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Well, we're not 100% sure,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42but we're going to try Estonia.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Estonia is quite right. Well done, Ann, especially there.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Well done. You got it!
0:22:47 > 0:22:49So, two out of two.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52And they got one out of two. Oh, dear, Eggheads.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54This cracking run you've had,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57if you don't get this right...it's over.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01In Spanish-speaking countries, the word cerrado
0:23:01 > 0:23:04often printed on a sign displayed in a shop window
0:23:04 > 0:23:05translates as what?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Cerrado... - Cerrado. C-E-R-R-A-D-O.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15It's not welcome.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Bargains would be plural, so it would end in O-S, not O.- OK.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19I'd go for closed.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21OK, I'd go for closed.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK? Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Not certain on this one, should know the word, really.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29But before the options came up,
0:23:29 > 0:23:30I was thinking closed
0:23:30 > 0:23:34and welcome would be bienvenido.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Can't think what the word for bargains would be,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38but we will go for closed.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39- Are they right? ALL:- Yes.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42You are right. Closed is correct.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44So, you have got two out of three.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47This is now your third question cos you went second.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50If you get this one right, you've won £16,000.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53They can't even lift a finger to stop you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55If you get it wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Here's your question.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00What was the name of the barge on which the Queen was a passenger
0:24:00 > 0:24:03during the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant
0:24:03 > 0:24:05in June 2012?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Is it Sarpedon?- Yeah, I think so.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I reckon it wouldn't have been...
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Certainly wasn't the others.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- CHRIS:- Honestly, I don't know. I just...
0:24:18 > 0:24:19You just want to guess, OK.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21That was an impressive run in your own round,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I'm happy if you don't know it.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Do you think so, Ann?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Yeah, OK.- OK.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31We're going to go for 'Ser-pe-don'.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- 'Sar-pe-don'.- Sarpedon, sorry.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Sarpedon is your answer.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39If you've got it right, you win £16,000.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41The barge on which the Queen was a passenger.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I must say, you've played so brilliantly here
0:24:43 > 0:24:45and you can see them quaking over there,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48but are you right with this question?
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Do you know, Eggheads?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- It's Spirit of Chartwell. - Yeah, you've got it wrong.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- It's not Sarpedon. - That was my first thought.- Oh!
0:24:54 > 0:24:55- Sorry.- Do you know what...
0:24:55 > 0:24:57The thing about it was that was so interesting
0:24:57 > 0:25:00was you all went for that. Sometimes it's very painful if there's
0:25:00 > 0:25:03a disagreement and the right person is overruled.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Wasn't the case here. The answer is Spirit Of Chartwell.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07So, you're equal after three.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10The jackpot moves a tiny bit further away,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12but still well within your reach.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15We go to Sudden Death. We start with you, Eggheads.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Who wrote the novel World War Z,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24which was turned into a 2013 film starring Brad Pitt?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Max Brooks?- Yeah.- Max Brooks.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Think that's Max Brooks.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32The son of Mel Brooks, you are quite right. Max Brooks, it is.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Back to you, Challengers. Sudden Death.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Now, you're slightly on the back foot here.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37You mustn't get one wrong.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43In January 1976, the Lutz family, L-U-T-Z,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46claiming to have been subjected to ghostly apparitions
0:25:46 > 0:25:50evacuated their home in which Long Island town?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It's Amityville cos it's the Amityville Horror.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Chris tells us it's Amityville.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Amityville is quite right.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03OK, Sudden Death.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Back to you, Eggheads.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Who played the role of Trinity in The Matrix series of films?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- I think that's the female...- Yeah.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- But I can't... She's not her.- Yeah.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16She was known for that and not...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18perfectly honest, not a great deal else
0:26:18 > 0:26:20and I can't think of her name.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Canadian actress, I think, but I can't think of her name.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28A complete blank here.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Really struggling.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36She's a Canadian actress. I can see her,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39but no, the name has escaped me, I'm afraid.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42So, I don't think we've actually got...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Going to have to...
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I can't even make a plausible guess.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- You're passing? - Yeah, we will have to pass.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51CJ is going crazy back there. You know it, CJ? Go on.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- It's Carrie-Anne Moss. - It is Carrie-Anne Moss.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Yeah, who was in Momentum, my favourite film.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Obviously, it was in there somewhere. - It was there, yeah.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Maybe a birth date or a death date
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- is clogging up the brain there. - Yeah, possibly.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Get them out. Dear.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06This could be very useful for you.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Let's just see. This question is worth £16,000 to you, Challengers.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Get this right, you've won.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16What was the name of the slang used in Britain
0:27:16 > 0:27:18in the mid-20th century,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22which was popularised by the characters Julian and Sandy
0:27:22 > 0:27:24in the 1960s radio series Round The Horne?
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Polari.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Yeah, P-O-L-A-R-I, Polari.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Chris, again, tells us it's Polari.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38If you've got this right, you have won, you've beaten the Eggheads.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40If you've got it wrong, we play on with Sudden Death.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Shall I ask them? Let's see what they say. Are they right?
0:27:43 > 0:27:44- Yeah.- Oh, bona!
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Polari is the right answer.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49We say congratulations, Challengers, you have won!
0:27:55 > 0:27:57And brilliantly done.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59And it's funny how these things happen cos Ann on History,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01not your strongest, knocked out CJ
0:28:01 > 0:28:03who knew the Carrie-Anne answer,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07so it was all part of the building blocks for a great victory there.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Great jackpot and honestly well played. Great quizzing.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13All the way through. Really. So congratulations, Words In Action.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14You can go back and say
0:28:14 > 0:28:16you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19You have won £16,000. You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21You tore them to ribbons earlier on as well.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Ooh, what a contest!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Do join us next time on Eggheads to see
0:28:24 > 0:28:28if a new team of Challengers can give us as much fun as this one has.
