0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34- They are the Eggheads. Are you firing on all cylinders, Eggs?- Yes!
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- We are now.- Listen to that.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40We'll see. Doesn't always work out that way.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths are the Minds Of Moria.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Now, the majority of this team regularly quiz
0:00:47 > 0:00:50together at their local pub, the Poppy & Pint in Nottingham.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54To complete the quintet, Danny has recruited his brother Sam.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55So, let's meet them.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Elliot and I'm studying politics.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Danny and I'm studying physics.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Sam and I'm studying theology.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Josh and I'm studying film and TV.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Tom and I'm studying physics.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- So, Elliot, team, welcome. Good to see you.- Hello.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The team name, explain it for me.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Our team name is Minds Of Moria.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's basically a concept from our favourite film, well,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23collectively it's our favourite film - Lord Of The Rings.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Is there a mind of Moria in that?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Moria is sort of the concept within it,
0:01:28 > 0:01:33and we sort of put together the quizzing aspect of it and mines.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Yeah.- Minds Of Moria.- I'm worried I'm flaunting my ignorance here.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Is anybody else confused by Moria? - No.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41It's the mines of Moria that they have to make their way through
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- and they are the MINDS. - Yeah, the mines of Moria, of course!
0:01:45 > 0:01:46It's all come to me now.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Yes, of course, of course. So, and you quiz together?- Yes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- Every Tuesday at the Poppy & Pint. - What is the Poppy & Pint like?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57It's a quiet pub in sort of back streets of West Bridgford
0:01:57 > 0:01:59which is the area we live in.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02So, yeah, every Tuesday head on down.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Sounds good. Is there a prize if you win?- There's a cash prize.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07But we're yet to do that.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08THEY LAUGH
0:02:08 > 0:02:11You didn't have to add that, don't worry.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash here
0:02:13 > 0:02:16up for grabs for our Challengers. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Minds Of Moria, the Eggheads have actually won the last two games
0:02:21 > 0:02:24which means £3,000 says you can't beat them.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Is that more than would normally be on at the Poppy & Pint?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Quite a bit more, yeah.- OK, excellent. Well, let's hope you win.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- OK. I guess that's me.- You.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Yeah, so I'll take that one, Jeremy.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42All right, good stuff. Elliot wants to take it against which Egghead?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Who should be go for? - Who do you think?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46- Maybe we can go Lisa.- Oh, yeah, OK.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Let's go with that then.- Yeah, OK. - Wait, I thought she was geography.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- No, that's CJ.- Right, go with Lisa.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53OK, I'll take on Lisa, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- All right. And you are a politics student, aren't you?- I am, yes.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59That's good. And you were as well?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- History and...?- I got it in English.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I got as far as politics A level and that was it.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06So, Elliot from Minds Of Moria, which of course is a reference
0:03:06 > 0:03:08we all know, versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09To ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I hope this is perfect, Elliot.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18You are a politics student and we are doing Politics. How about that?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Yeah, fingers crossed.- I know it's also a little bit forbidding as well
0:03:21 > 0:03:23cos your team-mates think you'll get them all the right
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and it's not that easy. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27I'll go second, please.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35So, Lisa. What was the nickname of the Labour politician John Prescott?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40THEY LAUGH
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I'd love to have heard him be called The Quiet Man, wouldn't you?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45He was Two Jags.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46He was indeed Two Jags.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Elliot, your question.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Who became editor of the satirical magazine Private Eye in 1986?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I believe he is on Have I Got News For You
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and I think that is Ian Hislop.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06It is indeed Ian Hislop. You are right. And that's...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, nearly 30 years. That's amazing.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11OK. Lisa.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13In the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16what percentage of voters gave a "no" vote.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Right. Let me get this the right way around.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27This was really annoying
0:04:27 > 0:04:32because my husband predicted it down to the last decimal point.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33We were sat there going,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35"Look, there's no way you can be that accurate about it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39"That's just silly." And he was spot on. Highly irritating.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I think it's 50.3%.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Oh, Lisa.- You're wrong there. - Oh, you're joking!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Because the ones who are pro-independence often call
0:04:49 > 0:04:51themselves the 45s, don't they, now?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53If they are on Twitter or whatever, they always put 45.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Oh, for goodness' sake. - So it's 55.3%.- Oh, it's not my day.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Your hubby is going to be so cross.- Yeah.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I just couldn't remember the second figure.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I had the 0.3 down in my head, it was just the rest of it.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Yeah, 55.3.- Oh, dear.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Elliot, back to you. This is looking good now.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14The US president Franklin D Roosevelt represented which political party?
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I don't think it is the Whig Party.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27So it is 50-50 between Republican and Democratic.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Erm...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Something told me it was Republican so I will go with my gut instinct
0:05:33 > 0:05:35down the middle and go for Republican, please.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Oh, dear me. No, it's not. He was the New Deal and everything, wasn't he?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- He was, yes. - So he was post-war New Deal.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45No, he was post-Depression New Deal, wasn't it? Yeah.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Franklin D Roosevelt was Democratic.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Very Democratic.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52So now, Lisa, your question.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56In 1990, who became the first Australian Labor Prime Minister
0:05:56 > 0:05:58to be elected for a fourth consecutive term?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06You know how much I love questions about Australia, Jeremy.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Now, is it... Does John Howard...
0:06:09 > 0:06:11had a term that long?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Ohh...
0:06:15 > 0:06:19First thought was John Howard. I'll go with John Howard.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21It's wrong. What a surprise(!)
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I think it's because you are thinking fourth consecutive term,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26you've got to go back a bit further
0:06:26 > 0:06:29and you go back to the earliest one of the three which is Bob Hawke.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Yeah, it was a toss up between the two.- He was the '80s...
0:06:32 > 0:06:34He was the guy who would have known Mrs Thatcher
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- and all that kind of stuff.- Yeah, no.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38It was a toss up between the two and I went the wrong way.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Australia is accursed from your point of view.- Yes.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's sad, really, given that I'm a quarter Australian.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Yeah, it just doesn't work for you.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48It's not going to want to claim me after this, anyway, let's face it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52So, here is the situation, Elliot. Lisa has got one right out of three.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54And if you get this one right, you are in the final.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Which politician once described Michael Howard as having
0:06:57 > 0:06:59"something of the night about him"?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I have not got a clue.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Something tells me it is something Ann Widdecombe would say.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Then again...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18No, I'll go for original gut instinct, Ann Widdecombe.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Yes, Ann Widdecombe is right. Well done. You are in the final round.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Well done.- Brilliant. - And it led to a big falling out.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I think it stopped him from being Conservative leader or just
0:07:26 > 0:07:30gave him a lot of trouble, didn't it, basically. Yeah. Well done, Elliot.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Nice. Good recovery there... - Thank you.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35..after your Roosevelt moment. And, Lisa, what can I say?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Elliot, you are in the final. Please come back to us.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43So, as it stands, Minds Of Moria have lost no brains from the final round.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46The Eggheads have lost one. It's a great start for our Challengers.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48The next subject is Music.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- I reckon you must all be into your music.- We are all right.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Is that me or you? - I don't know, it's up to you.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58We said you would do it if it came up earlier on, didn't we?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- You want me to do it?- I mean... - Do you want to do it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Yeah, all right. I'll do it. - Is that Danny? OK.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Little bit reluctant, Danny. - Yeah, it's not my strongest.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12OK, and who would you like to take on? Obviously can't be Lisa.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Did we think about... Pat for music?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Did we?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21THEY MUMBLE
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Yeah?- Yeah, I'll go against Pat, please.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27OK, so Danny from Minds Of Moria versus Pat on Music
0:08:27 > 0:08:29from the Eggheads. Please go to our Question Room now.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- You play the bass, Danny?- Yeah. For about five years I've played.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38And who would be your musical hero on the bass?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Probably Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- One of my favourite bassists.- Well, good luck with your bass playing.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Cheers.- See if you can give some very low notes to Pat here.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Blast him away. Do you want to go first or second, Danny?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'll go first, please.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Here we go. Your first question.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03The Austrian singer Conchita Wurst won the 2014 Eurovision song
0:09:03 > 0:09:05contest with which song?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm sure Making Your Mind Up is an old song.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19And out of the two of them, Rise Like A Phoenix sounds
0:09:19 > 0:09:22the most familiar so I will go for Rise Like A Phoenix.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Yes, Rise Like A Phoenix is correct. Well done.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- All Eurovision winning songs, them. - Oh, so they could have...
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- But most of them not sung by people with beards.- Yes.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Pat, the Fender Stratocaster is a famous model of which instrument?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's an iconic model of electric guitar.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Guitar.- Guitar is correct.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Danny, which of these composers died in the 20th century?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Really not very good with composers at all.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Erm...
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I'm just going to have to have a guess
0:10:06 > 0:10:08and I'll go with Elgar, Edward Elgar.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Is that a complete guess? - Yeah, pretty much.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15It is completely right, though. Well done. Edward Elgar.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Pat. The song Take Me To Church
0:10:18 > 0:10:21was a worldwide hit in 2014 for which musician?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30I think he's a very, very tall young man from County Wicklow.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31I think it's Hozier.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- Oh, Hozier is from your neck of the woods?- I think he's Irish.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- I think he's from Wicklow.- Oh, I had him down as American. Very talented.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Hozier is right. Well done.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Danny. Your question.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47"So you go and you stand on your own And you leave on your own,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50"And you go home and cry and you want to die"
0:10:50 > 0:10:55are lines featured in which 1985 single by The Smiths?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Erm...
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Yeah, it's going to have to be another guess again.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I'm not that big on The Smiths, so I'll go with Panic.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Can you sing this one, Lisa?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14No, Jeremy, because I hate and despise The Smiths,
0:11:14 > 0:11:15as you know perfectly well!
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Oh, that's terrible.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I would have done Hozier for you, you just asked at the wrong time.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Yeah. But this is How Soon Is Now?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26# So you go and you stand on your own And you leave on your own
0:11:26 > 0:11:28# And you cry and you want to die. #
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Actually worryingly close. - Am I right, Dave?- Yes, yes.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I've got it. We are two each.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37It's your question, Pat, for the round.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Before embarking upon a solo career,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Ben E King was the lead singer for which group?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49I don't think he ever was in The Commodores,
0:11:49 > 0:11:50so I can dismiss them.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It's one of the other two.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Levi Stubbs is the key front man for one of those two bands.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00So I suspect it is Levi Stubbs for one of them
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and Ben E King for the other.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Levi Stubbs, The Drifters. Levi Stubbs, The Four Tops.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I think it is Levi Stubbs in The Four Tops
0:12:11 > 0:12:15and I think that leaves The Drifters for Ben E King.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Who did Stand By Me. Yes, The Drifters is correct.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Ben E King was in The Drifters
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and you have taken the round. Sorry, Danny.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25He got three out of three. It's difficult to play when he does that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Yes, tough.- And the Smiths, but that, mm...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31You won't be tempted to go back and listen to some of their records?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Not now. Not any more.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34LAUGHING: I don't blame you.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37So, Danny, you are out. Pat, you are in the final.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Please return to your teams, we'll play on.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44As it stands, Minds Of Moria have lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47The Eggheads have lost a brain too. The next subject is Sport.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Is that good for you?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Erm... I don't know. That's really hard.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- We are all equally poor at Sport. - Well, they are both definitely...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Tom, I feel like you are definitely better than Josh.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- OK, I'll take the hit, I guess. Yeah.- Against which Egghead, Tom?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03It can be CJ, Barry or Dave.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- It's not going to be Dave.- CJ.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08CJ, please.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Ooh, I'll warn you, I'm on a winning streak of one game.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Yeah, he's put together a...one game in a row.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Tom from Minds Of Moria versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Please go to the Question Room.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23OK, so, Tom, here we are. We are on Sport. I know...
0:13:23 > 0:13:25You seemed to get pressed going into that slightly
0:13:25 > 0:13:27but would you like to go first or second?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I think I'll go second, please.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34So, CJ, your first question on Sport.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Which of these players represented England
0:13:37 > 0:13:38in the 2015 Cricket World Cup?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Michael Vaughan I think I had gone by then.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Kevin Pietersen I think had been thrown out of the team.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I don't know it but I will try Stuart Broad.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I don't know if you are right about the details
0:13:55 > 0:13:58but you are right about the name. Stuart Broad is correct. Well done.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Tom, over to you.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03The legendary Brazilian footballer Romario,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07born in 1966, usually played in which position?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I haven't heard the name before.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Erm... So it strikes me that he might not be a striker.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Erm...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23So between goalkeeper and centre back,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm going to guess centre back, please.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Centre back. Dave will know this. Dave?- Striker.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Striker he was, actually. But you were in Brazil watching football!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Yeah, I was, I was. - For the last World Cup.- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38That's pretty embarrassing, that one.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Back to you, CJ. In which country was the heavyweight world champion
0:14:41 > 0:14:43boxer Lennox Lewis born?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I don't know. I knew he represented Canada.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Where was he born then? Oh, dear.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Well, he switched his allegiance to UK. But...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04That doesn't mean anything. I don't know.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I was just sitting there, listening to the question, thinking,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11"Canada is about to come up, that's what I'll go for." Um...
0:15:11 > 0:15:14He doesn't have any sort of American accent,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17so I'm going to rule that one out.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22So he was either born in Jamaica and moved up to Canada or he was
0:15:22 > 0:15:25born in the UK, went over there and then came back and took nationality.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I am going to assume he was from a family in Jamaica which had...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34..older ties to the UK,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37went over to Canada and then can back over here,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40claiming on his old ancestry, so I will try Jamaica.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43CJ, I'm sorry, it was UK. It was East End of London.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Yeah.- OK.- Although he could have...
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Some of your stories still could have been true.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49We come back to you, Tom, for your second.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51In what order, Tom,
0:15:51 > 0:15:55are the three events of an Olympic triathlon completed?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05I know this one, and it is swimming, cycling and then running.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07That's brilliant. How do you know that?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11My friend's mum actually does triathlons, so...
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- So you have to do it in that order? - Yep.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17And does the break between swimming and cycling... Is that timed or?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19You literally have to get out of the water and onto the bike.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Oh, I see. So you have got to really... In your trunks?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Out of the wet suit and straight on the bike.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Well, you are quite right - swimming, cycling and running.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Well done, you got a point. Back to you, CJ.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31In which year did the rower Matthew Pinsent
0:16:31 > 0:16:33win his first Olympic medal?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Ah, now first Olympic medal.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Does that mean he won something before gold?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Cos he won four golds,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49and I think his last one was in Athens 2004.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Which makes it '92.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Did he compete in '88 and win a medal?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06If he did, he wasn't rowing with Steven Redgrave.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I think '92 was the year he teamed up with Steve.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15As I think they did three... They won three golds together.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Steven retired and then Pinsent won one on his own,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20well, not with Redgrave.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25So it is either '88 or '92.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29And I'm going to assume in '88 he would have been too young,
0:17:29 > 0:17:33unless he actually competed in something else by himself
0:17:33 > 0:17:36and won something other than a gold. But I know... Well,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I am reasonably certain he won his first gold in '92.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40So I will try 1992.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43And 1992 is the right answer, CJ. Well done.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48So, you are lagging behind. You need to get this one, Tom.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53The English-born athlete Fiona May, who later competed for Italy, won
0:17:53 > 0:17:56world championship gold medals in which field event?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Um...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I just am trying to see if I can remember the name.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09But I really don't think I have ever heard it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Uh...
0:18:12 > 0:18:14So I think it is just going to have to be a guess.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19I'm going to say...
0:18:21 > 0:18:22..high jump.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24- Do you know this, CJ?- Long jump.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Long jump is the answer, Tom, sorry.- Well, you know.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30You came close, but I'm afraid no cigar. You're not in the final round.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32CJ is in the final.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36And if you come back to us, both of you, we will see what happens next.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39So, as it sounds, Minds Of Moria have lost the two brains,
0:18:39 > 0:18:44but the Eggheads have lost a brain too. And we are sensing just...
0:18:44 > 0:18:45There is liftoff coming.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I believe it, seriously. The next subject... Don't laugh!
0:18:52 > 0:18:53The next subject is Geography.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56So is it...? Do we have someone here who has travelled a lot?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Sam.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Sam?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Against which Egghead?
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- I'm going to take Dave on, please. - Tremendous Knowledge Dave, right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10So Sam from Minds Of Moria versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13The subject, Geography. Last round before the final.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16What is going to happen? Please take your positions.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So, Sam, on Geography against Dave.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Would you like to go first or do you want Dave to go first?
0:19:21 > 0:19:22I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Here is your first question.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Which country shares land borders with Cambodia, China and Laos?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Um...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40As the other two countries are not in their region,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I would have to say Vietnam.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Vietnam is quite right. Well done.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Dave, over to you.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Which of these areas of water is part of the Atlantic Ocean?
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Um, I believe that is the Sargasso Sea.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Sargasso Sea is right.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Back to you, Sam.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, is approximately what height?
0:20:17 > 0:20:22It would have to be a bit of a guess on this one, but I think that the
0:20:22 > 0:20:29second two seem a bit too high, so I am going to go for 4,800m, please.
0:20:29 > 0:20:324,800m is correct.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Well done.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37That's...that's good work. That could be very hard.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38OK, over to you, Dave.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Yaounde is the capital city of which African country?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I believe that is Cameroon.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50It is Cameroon, well done.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Right, two each. Sam, you are playing well.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Get the third one right, put Dave under pressure.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Which American city is known in Chinese as Old Gold Mountain?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05I have a feeling that potentially...
0:21:06 > 0:21:11San Francisco was involved in the gold rush.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13In California.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17So I am going to go for San Francisco.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Yeah, the logic is good.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22And I guess a big Chinese community there as well.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23San Francisco is right.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Because if you were coming
0:21:26 > 0:21:29to the USA from China, you would arrive from that side, is that...?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Yeah.- That simple reason.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34OK, Dave, your question to stay in.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Medellin is which South American country's second largest city?
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Can you spell it for me, please?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46M-E-D-E-L-L-I-N.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I've not really got much to go on, but...
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Sao... I would have thought that Sao Paulo
0:21:51 > 0:21:55and Rio de Janeiro were going to be bigger cities in Brazil.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00And I have got Mendoza and Cordova and other cities in Argentina.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03So just on the back of that, I will go Colombia.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06You're right. I have heard of this because of the Medellin Cartel.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Which is a drug thing, wasn't it? - Yeah, yeah.- Colombia is right.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11So three out of three for you both.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Playing really well on Geography.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Last round before the final. Sam, we go to Sudden Death.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17It gets a little bit more tricky
0:22:17 > 0:22:19cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23The market town of Tavistock, in Devon, is located on which river?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27I don't know any rivers in Devon,
0:22:27 > 0:22:32but I know there are a few River Avons in the country.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35So I'm going to guess and say River Avon.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- It's not. You'll kick yourself. It is Tavy, or the Tavy.- Argh.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41T-A-V-Y. Hence Tavistock.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43So, Dave, a chance for you
0:22:43 > 0:22:45to take this round on Sudden Death.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48What is the name of the ancient track leaving from Winchester
0:22:48 > 0:22:50to Canterbury?
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I am getting something in my head, but I don't think it is right.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Winchester to Canterbury. Yeah, I have got to go for this.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Pilgrims' Way.- Pilgrims' Way... Let's see, Eggheads.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Yes, they like that. Pilgrims' Way it is.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Well done, Dave, you are in the final round.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Sorry, Sam, just that sudden...
0:23:07 > 0:23:11beastly sudden-death moment, isn't it? So you have been knocked out.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13But if you come back to us, both of you, we will see how
0:23:13 > 0:23:14the final shakes down.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18This is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21It is time for the final round, which is general knowledge.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:23 > 0:23:25won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29So, Danny, Sam and Tom from the Minds Of Moria,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32but also Lisa from the Eggheads, we say bye-bye.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38So, Elliot and Josh, you are playing to win Minds Of Moria £3,000.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Your team-mates there are willing you on.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Barry, CJ, Pat and Dave, for you it is rather different.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47You're simply playing to restore the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52This time, the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54You can confer, guys.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57So Minds Of Moria, the question is, are your two brains better
0:23:57 > 0:24:02than these four rather distressed specimens over here?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04And would you like to go first or second?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06We would like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11All the best.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13And here we go with your first question.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16The dog Snowy is it the companion of which of these
0:24:16 > 0:24:17comic book characters?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Tintin, isn't it? Yep. Tintin, please, Jeremy.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Tintin is the right answer.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29What is the name of Beyonce's
0:24:29 > 0:24:31first child?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- EGGHEADS:- Blue Ivy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Are we all happy with Blue Ivy? - Blue Ivy, yes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44We are all happy with Blue Ivy.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I don't know if Blue Ivy is happy with the name, but we are.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Blue Ivy is correct.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51OK, your question.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Which of these is a 2015 sci-fi film by director siblings
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Andy and Lana Wachowski?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It is Jupiter Ascending.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I believe.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Jupiter Ascending is correct. Well done.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Eggheads, a painting
0:25:11 > 0:25:15of two Tahitian girls by which French artist was sold for
0:25:15 > 0:25:20a world record of approximately 300 million in February 2015?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Gauguin.- I think so, for Tahiti, don't you?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Yes, I think we are all absolutely
0:25:28 > 0:25:30certain on this one. It was Gauguin.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Right, Gauguin it was.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33CJ, you look almost upset by
0:25:33 > 0:25:34how easy you found that question.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Well, he lived there for so long, didn't he?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Yeah, Tahiti equals Gauguin.- Yes. - For the sake of any argument.- Yes.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41And Samoa equals Robert Louis Stevenson.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- It is things like this you have to remember.- Right, OK.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Elliot and Josh, which 16th-century scientist had part of his nose
0:25:49 > 0:25:52removed in a duel whilst a student
0:25:52 > 0:25:55and thereafter wore an artificial one made from metal?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Copernicus rings a bell.- Copernicus is the only one that I have...- Yeah.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08It is the only one... It definitely...
0:26:08 > 0:26:10As soon as I heard the name, it rang a bell.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Yeah? Really?- I think...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I have never heard of Paul Wittich and I've never heard of...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Well, I am not very science-y, so...
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- Hm.- I think Nicolaus Copernicus is the only...- I am happy with that.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Yeah.- Nicolaus Copernicus, please, Jeremy.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Well, he is the most recognisable name, but he is not the right answer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32It is Tycho Brahe. Am I pronouncing that correctly, Eggs?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Tycho?- Tycho, yeah.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Tell me about Mr Brahe.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37He was mad as a box of frogs.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39He was the wealthiest man in his
0:26:39 > 0:26:41country. He had his own island.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44He did all sorts of strange things.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45He kept a pet bear.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Where was he based? - Denmark.- Denmark, right.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49And what kind of a scientist was he?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- An astronomer.- Astronomer.- Right.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53If you go out on that man's nose,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56that would be...that would be painful.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Anyway, you're not out yet. Not by any means. Eggheads,
0:26:59 > 0:27:00you still have got to get this right.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04In which decade was wheel clamping introduced in Great Britain
0:27:04 > 0:27:07as well as the law that made it compulsory for all drivers
0:27:07 > 0:27:10and front-seat passengers to wear seatbelts?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- I think the seatbelt law came in '83.- Yes, it is '80s. It is '80s.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- I remember the ads.- I think it is '83.- It is definitely the '80s.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- It is definitely '80s. - The boot, the '80s. Yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Again, we all agree, we think it was in the 1980s.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32If you've got this right, Eggheads, the contest is over,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35because you would have got three out of three.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And you are getting a bit of your swagger back.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Wheel clamping and that law on seatbelts were...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43yes, introduced in the 1980s.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Well, you see the relief on CJ's face there because he knows that...
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- It takes a while to get back into your stride.- Absolutely.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59We have lost two in a row more than once.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- It takes us a while to get our confidence back.- Yeah.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05So you are just beginning to hum again. Sorry, lads, but you did...
0:28:05 > 0:28:06You played really well.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- We did our best. - Undoubtedly, did really well.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Commiserations to Minds Of Moria. Brilliant name.
