0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35I say possibly, but it is probably, isn't it?

0:00:35 > 0:00:36- Should be.- Undoubtedly.- Yes.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39- Indubitably.- Indubitably, Pat. Thank you.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41They are full of confidence today.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths are The Spread Eagles.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Now, this team of friends are all students at the University of York.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48They are keen quizzers

0:00:48 > 0:00:52and they take their name from the pub in which they won their first quiz.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53So, let's meet them.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, my name is Josh and I am a medical student.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, I am Charlie and I am a history student.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I am Harry and I'm an electronic engineering student.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Steve and I am a biology student.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06Hello, my name is Will

0:01:06 > 0:01:08and I am a politics, philosophy and economics student.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11- So, Josh and team, welcome. Great to see you.- Hi there, Jeremy.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14And normally doing your studies, but today with us?

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Yeah, we have taken the day off university to come up here.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18Fantastic. And when you are not studying,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20you're down The Spread Eagle, I gather?

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Pretty much.- What is the pub like? Is it straw on the floor?

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Is there fighting there, or...? THEY LAUGH

0:01:25 > 0:01:28It is a nice place. It is not without its quirks, that's for sure.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Is it one of these ones that's been redone and upholstered

0:01:31 > 0:01:33or has it got the nice old feel to it?

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- There's definitely an old feel there.- That's good.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37- You're welcome there, are you? - Yep, very welcome.- Good.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39And how do you do when you quiz there?

0:01:39 > 0:01:43I mean, usually we come top three places and win a couple of beers.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Yeah.- We're always excited when we get students,

0:01:46 > 0:01:49A, because the youth, am I right? It's always good.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52But also, we like to know that we are big on campus, which I gather...

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Yeah, huge.- Is that right?- Yep.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Is there an Eggheads moment at your university?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58- There is probably a society. - JEREMY LAUGHS

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Yeah, well, we'll have to take this on a university tour, this show,

0:02:01 > 0:02:03one day, won't we? Don't you think?

0:02:03 > 0:02:05- There's a thought.- Yes, actually. It would be fun.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07You would love that, Judith.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09- I would. - LAUGHTER

0:02:09 > 0:02:12See how alive Judith is today? THEY LAUGH

0:02:12 > 0:02:13Just twinkling away there.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, every day there is £1,000 worth of cash

0:02:16 > 0:02:18up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:19 > 0:02:22then we roll the prize money over to the next show.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Spread Eagles, I can tell you

0:02:23 > 0:02:25the Eggheads have won the last four games.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27They had a bit of a knock a few days ago,

0:02:27 > 0:02:29but they've just started to motor now.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32So there's a handy prize of £5,000 on the table.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Would you like to try and win it?

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- That will get us a nice holiday somewhere.- Yeah, it will.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Or a round of drinks at The Spread Eagle, who knows?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41They'll all be watching as well, I know.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Science.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Do we have a scientist here?

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- We do. We have three. - I am a scientist.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- So, who is it?- Steve. - Steve is our scientist.- OK.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Against which Egghead, Steve?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Take Judith.- Go for Dave. Stick to the plan.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Yes, stick to the plan. I'll take Dave.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Steve on Science against Dave. That sounds...

0:03:00 > 0:03:03You have really war-gamed it.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06So, The Spread Eagles, Steve. The Eggheads, Dave.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Both of you, to ensure there is no conferring,

0:03:08 > 0:03:10go to our Question Room.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13- You are the scientist, Steve, are you?- I am.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15I have been picked to do Science.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Studied biology, so hopefully I have got some knowledge there.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20And I gather you are also a magician?

0:03:20 > 0:03:23I do enjoy doing a bit of magic for fun and money back home.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24Quite hard work, isn't it?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27You've got to practise card tricks and that kind of thing.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Always playing with cards, always carry a deck of cards.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Can you make Dave disappear? - I hope so!- Good luck.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Science, and would you like to go first or second?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I would like to go second, please, Jeremy.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41OK. Dave, you have the first question.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Which of the following celebrated its 25th birthday in 2015?

0:03:50 > 0:03:5225th birthday.

0:03:52 > 0:03:57So, we're looking at 1990. Um...

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Apollo 11 was 1969.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Telstar, I believe, 1962.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06So, I have got to go with the Hubble Space Telescope.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Very good on your dates, Dave. Well done, Hubble it was.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11The space telescope.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Did you know that, Steve? - I did know that one, yes.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Should have gone first, shouldn't you?- Should have. Rats!- Never mind.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20The diet of a terrestrial kangaroo is most likely

0:04:20 > 0:04:22to consist of a large amount of what?

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Well, I can't imagine it is shellfish

0:04:29 > 0:04:31because they are in Australia.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36And I reckon they are...

0:04:37 > 0:04:39..insects.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- So, you think the answer is insects? - Yes.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43It is actually not. They're eating grass.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45I thought they ate ants. That's upsetting.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Um...they might eat... Anyone know?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Anyone, any personal relationships with a kangaroo here?

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Anyone? Anyone have a...?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55HE LAUGHS

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Is there something you want to tell us, Lisa?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Jeremy, you can't say things like that!

0:05:00 > 0:05:02I will actually keel over one of these days.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Anyone known a kangaroo? Anyone have any dealings with a kangaroo?

0:05:06 > 0:05:09It isn't getting any better.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13- I have no knowledge of a kangaroo. - You have no knowledge of kangaroos.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15- It is grass they eat. - It is grass, they eat grass.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Kevin has confirmed it.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19You may be thinking of an anteater. STEVE LAUGHS

0:05:19 > 0:05:23If one of them bounds up to you, it is not an anteater, it is a kangaroo.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24OK. Dave,

0:05:24 > 0:05:29founded in 1959, the main operations of the Charles Darwin Foundation

0:05:29 > 0:05:31are based in which South American country?

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Know what I want to say and I'm going to probably

0:05:38 > 0:05:40make a mess of this.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41I am going to rule out Brazil.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Chile makes sense to me in terms of the geography.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51But I have got the Galapagos Islands on my mind,

0:05:51 > 0:05:53which means I have to go for Ecuador.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56And Ecuador is the right answer. Well done.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58While we are on this subject,

0:05:58 > 0:06:01somebody told me it is "Chee-lay". "Chee-lay".

0:06:01 > 0:06:02- Oh, no.- I know.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03And I started pronouncing it "Chee-lay"

0:06:03 > 0:06:06and then a load of people said it's "Chilly"

0:06:06 > 0:06:07and I've now lost all confidence.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Can you give me... - It's "Chilly".- "Chilly".

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Otherwise it is very affected.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13- It is.- I think it is a bit.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15I had a lecturer...

0:06:15 > 0:06:17When I was doing

0:06:17 > 0:06:18my modern history stuff,

0:06:18 > 0:06:20one of my courses

0:06:20 > 0:06:22was on South American history.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26And the lecturer there had lived in South America for many years

0:06:26 > 0:06:28and she always said "Chee-lay".

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Yes.- And at the time I found that

0:06:30 > 0:06:31rather strange, but I've heard

0:06:31 > 0:06:33a lot of people do it since.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34I think it is one of those where

0:06:34 > 0:06:35it's probably the proper

0:06:35 > 0:06:38pronunciation, but not for us.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- We don't say "Peree", do we?- No.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43So, it is the proper pronunciation but it is annoying.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44- Yes, basically.- If you're there,

0:06:44 > 0:06:45perhaps when you're there

0:06:45 > 0:06:47and you're speaking Spanish,

0:06:47 > 0:06:48if that's what they speak,

0:06:48 > 0:06:49then you say it.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51All right. So, from now on, I'm going

0:06:51 > 0:06:53to say "Chilly" with conviction.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Right, back to you, Steve. You need to get this one right, really.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02In terms of human limb movement, what is the opposite of extension?

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Ph...ooh. Um...

0:07:09 > 0:07:11See, Josh would have known this one.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14It comes up all the time in his medical studies.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17However, I am going...

0:07:17 > 0:07:19I always said if I was going to guess,

0:07:19 > 0:07:21I would go to the right, so we will go with flexion.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Let me check with Josh. What do you think?

0:07:23 > 0:07:24Yes, flexion.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Josh likes it and you're right. Well done.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27- Flexion it is.- Great stuff.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30OK, Dave, your question. For the round.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Which British inventor developed an early electric light bulb

0:07:33 > 0:07:36and joined his company with that of Thomas Edison in 1883?

0:07:43 > 0:07:48Don't associate James Wimshurst or Edward Nairne with the light bulb.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52I do associate Joseph Swan with the light bulb, so that's my answer.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Joseph Swan is the right answer. Well done, Dave. Three out of three.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Sorry, Steve.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Because he started, he's stolen the march there and knocked you out.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02He has. I just cracked under the pressure.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05I'm sorry, you are out and Dave is in the final.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07If you come back to us, we'll play the next round.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10So, as it stands,

0:08:10 > 0:08:12The Spread Eagles have lost a brain from the final round.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13What is happening in the pub now?

0:08:13 > 0:08:16They're all watching, they're all going, "Ugh!", like that.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18- They are all shouting, "Kangaroo!" - They won't be happy.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21The Eggheads have lost no brains, but very early days.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23The next subject for you is Film & TV

0:08:23 > 0:08:25and I am thinking you're going to be good at this.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Who are we going to get for that? - I believe that is me.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- I think we're sending Josh for this one.- Josh, OK.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32And which Egghead would you like? Can't be Dave.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Um...- You know who it is going to be, Josh.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Could I go up against...

0:08:36 > 0:08:37Kevin, please?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40- You can.- Oh.- Said in hushed tones.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44Josh from The Spread Eagles versus Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Film & TV. Please go to our Question Room now.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51So, Josh, do we deduce from the fact that you were the one

0:08:51 > 0:08:53to do Film & TV that you spend a lot of time watching it?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Well, obviously as a medical student,

0:08:55 > 0:08:56I don't have that much time.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00We've sort of gone for the sacrificial lamb tactic here.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02What is the best medical TV drama?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I do have quite a love of Grey's Anatomy.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Oh, I have watched a bit of that, yeah. I enjoy that.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10It is not the most accurate, but for the drama side,

0:09:10 > 0:09:12it has certainly got a lot of that.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14I think I watched series one, really enjoyed it.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Josh, you can choose. Do you want to go first or second?

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Can I go first, please, Jeremy?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Here we go with your first question. Good luck.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Which sitcom, Josh, was set in Maplins Holiday Camp?

0:09:32 > 0:09:36Well, none of them are immediately springing to my mind.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40I'd probably have to say Open All Hours sounds

0:09:40 > 0:09:43a bit more like a holiday camp than any of the other two,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45so that is what I am going to go for, please.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- I know what you mean. How old are you, Josh?- I am 19.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52- Yeah, this may have even been broadcast before you were born.- Hmm.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55It is not Open All Hours. Open All Hours was Ronnie Barker, was it?

0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Yep.- And it was about a shop.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Hi-de-Hi! is the answer we were looking for.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00Kevin, your question.

0:10:00 > 0:10:05Nina Ridge and Philip Avery are best known for presenting what on TV?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12I think I have heard of Philip Avery.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14So, the obvious one...

0:10:14 > 0:10:17I don't actually know as such, but the obvious one, I suppose,

0:10:17 > 0:10:20is weather forecast. I will say weather forecast.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Weather forecast is the right answer. Yes, indeed.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25OK, he is in the lead, Josh, but don't panic yet.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29Stephen Merchant plays the useless agent Darren Lamb

0:10:29 > 0:10:31in which TV comedy series?

0:10:35 > 0:10:36Um...

0:10:36 > 0:10:41So, I have seen Extras and I don't believe it is that.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44In The Office, I am not sure he is an agent in that.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47I believe he's just a friend of Ricky Gervais.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49And I haven't actually seen Life Is Short,

0:10:49 > 0:10:51so that is the one I'm going to go for.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Any of your team-mates know? - I think that's correct, yeah.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56- I am a big fan of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.- Yeah.

0:10:56 > 0:11:01- No, but it is wrong, actually. It is Extras.- Oh.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Because Extras is where Gervais is playing the actor

0:11:04 > 0:11:07and he's always being given useless jobs, isn't he?

0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Yeah.- So, the useless agent is Stephen Merchant.

0:11:12 > 0:11:13Sorry, Josh. Back to Kevin.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15If he gets this right, the round is over.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Kevin, who played Lex Luthor in the 1978 film Superman?

0:11:24 > 0:11:25Well, that was...

0:11:25 > 0:11:29I have actually seen that once or twice, and it is Gene Hackman.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32- This was a baddie, was it? - Yeah, someone...

0:11:32 > 0:11:38You'd probably say that Lex Luthor is Superman's number one adversary,

0:11:38 > 0:11:40really, over the years.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- His arch nemesis?- Yes. A bald...

0:11:43 > 0:11:46supervillain, effectively.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Love the way that you equate hair loss with evil.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Well, you know. Never rule out such ideas.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54JEREMY LAUGHS

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Gene Hackman is the right answer. Well done, Kevin. Two out of two.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59No way back, Josh, I am afraid.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01With two wrong answers, you are knocked out as well.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Please return. Rejoin your team-mates, guys.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09So, we've had two rounds and the Challengers have lost two

0:12:09 > 0:12:12and the Eggheads over here are sitting pretty.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14So, got to just do something now.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Whatever it is Spread Eagles do, you've got to do it.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20The next subject as Food & Drink.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22- That is great, isn't it?- Um...

0:12:22 > 0:12:25Cos they are students and...

0:12:25 > 0:12:27This was Josh's specialist subject.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29- I believe it is you, Harry. - Me? OK, sure.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32- You're going to have to go for it, I'm sorry.- Going to be Harry?

0:12:32 > 0:12:35All right, Harry. And which Egghead would you like?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Lisa, Pat or Judith?- Judith.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Judith, do you reckon?- Judith, yeah. - Yeah.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Go with Judith.- Fine.- Me?- Yes, you.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45They hardly ever pick women for Food & Drink cos they think

0:12:45 > 0:12:48women are in the kitchen and busy cooking and know all about it.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- We don't tolerate sexism at university.- We believe in equality.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53It's been years since you answered any questions on Food.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57- I think I've hardly ever, ever done it.- Well, it's our pleasure.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59SHE LAUGHS So, OK.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Judith will do it with Harry. The Spread Eagles versus the Eggheads.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Please go to the Question Room.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09So, Harry, you were voted most likely to be a millionaire?

0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Yes, I was, yes.- At school? - Yes. Still hoping.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14And were you voted also, Judith?

0:13:14 > 0:13:17No, we didn't have votes on things like that.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19So they didn't realise what was coming your way?

0:13:19 > 0:13:21- No, nobody did.- Did you realise?

0:13:21 > 0:13:25- No, of course I didn't. - Until the final moment.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Well, not even then. I was slightly on tenterhooks.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30- You know what we're talking about, Harry?- Yeah, I do.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Do you remember the question she was asked?

0:13:32 > 0:13:35- I don't, no, unfortunately. - Come on, remind us, Judith.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Who was Eleanor of Aquitaine married to -

0:13:38 > 0:13:42was it Henry I, Henry II, Henry V or Richard I?

0:13:42 > 0:13:44- And it was...?- Henry II.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46That is right, of course. How could I have forgotten that?

0:13:46 > 0:13:48I have seen that clip 100 times.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50And that is what won her a million pounds, Harry.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54Anyway, see if you can even up the score now. You're playing Judith.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57She is excited to be doing Food & Drink, as you can tell.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Would you like to go first or second?- Um...

0:13:59 > 0:14:00I'll go first, please.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06And here we go.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Bay trees, whose leaves are used widely for seasoning in cookery,

0:14:10 > 0:14:12are native to which region?

0:14:16 > 0:14:21Um... I don't believe it is the Great Lakes or the Bay of Bengal.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I am going to go with the Mediterranean, please.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25It is indeed the Mediterranean. Well done.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Though strangely, I seem to have a bay tree growing in my front garden.

0:14:29 > 0:14:30Does that sound right?

0:14:30 > 0:14:33I've certainly been taking leaves off and cooking with them.

0:14:33 > 0:14:34- LAUGHTER - Yes, that's right.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Is that right, Judith?- Yes.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40They survive frost, so they can grow further north.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- They can survive in a cold climate? - Yes.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44Here is your question.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Which of the following are common taco fillings?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Well, it is Mexican, isn't it?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55You can probably put any of those in them,

0:14:55 > 0:14:58but I think on the whole, you put meat and cheese in.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Meat and cheese is correct.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Always makes me think of those fast food places in the States.- Yes.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Not very appetising. - No, absolutely not.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09OK, Harry, your question.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13The flat Italian bread focaccia is traditionally flavoured with

0:15:13 > 0:15:15olive oil and what?

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Harry, is it...

0:15:18 > 0:15:23I don't believe it is nutmeg. Salt and anchovies ring a bell.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25I am going to go with anchovies.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Yeah, it is not, actually. It is salt.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Oh, well.- Here's your question, Judith. It's one point each.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34The lemon liqueur called limoncello

0:15:34 > 0:15:36originated in the south of which country?

0:15:40 > 0:15:44Well, Spain and Italy both have a lot of lemons but limoncello,

0:15:44 > 0:15:48I think limoncello is Italian, so Italy.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Italy is correct, yeah.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52So, Harry, you need this one.

0:15:52 > 0:15:58What is the main fruit ingredient of a traditional tarte Normande?

0:16:01 > 0:16:06Um, I assume it is from Normandy. They grow a lot of apples in

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Normandy so I'm going to go with apples.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13Apples is quite right, well done. So it's two-two but Judith has

0:16:13 > 0:16:16a question in hand in one of these rare Food & Drink rounds.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Do you do a lot of cooking, Judith? - Yes, I love cooking, actually.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21CHALLENGERS CHUCKLE

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Harry wishes you said that earlier.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26What is the highest number of Michelin stars

0:16:26 > 0:16:28a restaurant may be awarded?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well, I think it is three.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Three is the right answer. Well done, Judith. Three out of three on

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Food & Drink with the Michelin stars.

0:16:38 > 0:16:43Harry, sorry, she has taken you out there but I think I sense she is

0:16:43 > 0:16:44quite a player on Food & Drink.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47If only all those sport rounds had been Food & Drink, eh, Judith.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Oh, yes, life would be different. - JEREMY CHUCKLES

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Please come back and rejoin your teams.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56OK, Josh, a little bit awkward now. Three gone.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58The plan is not going to plan, you could say.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Did you have a spreadsheet and all of that?- We've got our names,

0:17:01 > 0:17:05the subjects, the Eggheads' names, we've got everything.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- You've got a grid.- A flow chart throughout.- Yeah.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10At what point did it go wrong?

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Somewhere in the middle of the first round, I would say.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14HE LAUGHS

0:17:14 > 0:17:18OK, you have lost three and the Eggheads over here have lost none,

0:17:18 > 0:17:20which we hate to see here

0:17:20 > 0:17:22so see if you can get one of them out before the final.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26- And it is Politics now. Do we have a politics student here?- We do, yes.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- I study politics for my degree, yes.- OK, Will.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32- And which Egghead would you like? - Um...

0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Lisa.- Lisa.- Yeah, can I take Lisa, please?- You may indeed.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Will from The Spread Eagles versus Lisa from the Eggheads.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42And to ensure there is no conferring, please go to our Question Room.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46So we are on Politics, Lisa, don't worry.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49SHE CHUCKLES SARCASTICALLY

0:17:49 > 0:17:52It's easy for you to say, Mr "Look at me with all the answers".

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Yeah, I know, I know. I know we've had... A little tricky the last

0:17:55 > 0:17:56few days but not to worry,

0:17:56 > 0:17:59just saying it always turns around sometimes.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01- Keep soldiering on.- Having a little bit of difficulty

0:18:01 > 0:18:03but I'm not mentioning it, Will.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Would you like to go first or second on Politics?- Can I go first, please?

0:18:10 > 0:18:11So here we go, good luck.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Which is the most northerly parliamentary constituency in the UK?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Funnily enough, we came through Berwick-upon-Tweed on our train

0:18:23 > 0:18:27journey up to the studio so I am aware of where that is

0:18:27 > 0:18:32and Belfast, obviously, in Ireland and Orkney and Shetland, Scotland.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36Um, so I'm going to go with Orkney and Shetland based on

0:18:36 > 0:18:37my experience and knowledge.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Yes, superb. You're quite right.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Orkney and Shetland. Long, long way away.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47Lisa, in January 2015 Alexis Tsipras became Prime Minister of which

0:18:47 > 0:18:48European country?

0:18:52 > 0:18:55They voted him in on the anti-austerity ticket in Greece.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59Greece is the right answer with that rather interesting Finance Minister.

0:18:59 > 0:19:00- But what's his name?- Varoufakis.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03Varoufakis, the guy with open-neck shirts and leather jackets.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07He's terribly glamorous. He's a frightfully sexy character, I think.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08OK. So Lisa has one

0:19:08 > 0:19:12and, Will, you have one as well. Your question now.

0:19:12 > 0:19:16Which American politician famously told 12-year-old schoolboy

0:19:16 > 0:19:20William Figueroa that he'd spelt potato incorrectly during a

0:19:20 > 0:19:23classroom visit in New Jersey in 1992?

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Well, I know Reagan from the '80s.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36So seeing the date is '92, I'm not sure whether that's going to go

0:19:36 > 0:19:40over. Obviously, Al Gore I know from far more recently.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42And I'm not sure about Dan Quayle.

0:19:42 > 0:19:47Um, I think on the basis of knowing Reagan is certainly in the '80s,

0:19:47 > 0:19:49I'm going to go on Ronald Reagan but I am not sure.

0:19:49 > 0:19:54Yeah. So Reagan was president from '80 to '88, I think, wasn't he?

0:19:54 > 0:19:57So between '88 and '92, it was George Bush Senior

0:19:57 > 0:20:00and Dan Quayle was his deputy. Dan Quayle is the answer.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Went into a classroom, put an E on the end of potato

0:20:02 > 0:20:06with a piece of chalk. But not his only gaff, actually.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Also said he wanted to go to Latin America cos he'd never

0:20:08 > 0:20:10been anywhere where people speak Latin.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12- THEY CHUCKLE - He didn't?!

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Yes, he did. So, Dan Quayle.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18OK, Lisa, your question. Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott caused

0:20:18 > 0:20:22caused a political storm in his country in early 2015 when he

0:20:22 > 0:20:25recommended that which member of the Royal family

0:20:25 > 0:20:26should receive a knighthood?

0:20:30 > 0:20:33You know how much I love my Australian questions, Jeremy.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37So thank you so much for this little gift of the day.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40I have a feeling it's Prince Philip.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41It is Prince Philip. Well done.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Hey, we are back on track on Australia. That's good.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Did he actually get the knighthood

0:20:46 > 0:20:47- in the end? Does anyone know?- Yes.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50He did? And it caused more trouble.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52OK, back to you, Will.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56Xavier Bettel became which country's Prime Minister in 2013?

0:20:59 > 0:21:04- Could you spell the surname for me, please?- B-E-T-T-E-L. Bettel.

0:21:04 > 0:21:05I actually don't know this one at all.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08I feel like it could be any of those countries.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14But, on a hunch, I think I would like to go with Luxembourg.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Yes, your hunch is brilliant. Luxembourg it is.- That's luck.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22So you got two answers right out of three. If Lisa gets this one,

0:21:22 > 0:21:23she is in the final.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27In 2013, Tristram Hunt was appointed Shadow Secretary of State for which

0:21:27 > 0:21:29area of government?

0:21:31 > 0:21:35Well, assuming he hasn't changed jobs recently, Tristram Hunt

0:21:35 > 0:21:38is the nemesis of pretty much anyone who has ever stood in the post

0:21:38 > 0:21:41of Secretary of State for Education.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Education is the right answer. Well done, Lisa. How about that?

0:21:44 > 0:21:47You're in the final round so we have broken that difficult run. Whoohoo!

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Will, you have been knocked out. Please come back to us.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54So, this is what we have been playing towards. Is it time for our

0:21:54 > 0:21:57final round, which as always, is General Knowledge.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59But I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads,

0:21:59 > 0:22:01don't take part in this round.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05So Spread Eagles have been knocked about a bit and Josh, Harry, Steve

0:22:05 > 0:22:09and Will, I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave the studio.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Charlie, you are playing to win The Spread Eagle £5,000.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Don't worry about the other four, they are gone.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19It is just you now and you are playing to win against Pat and Lisa

0:22:19 > 0:22:21and Dave and Kevin and Judith.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24All five of them who are playing for something maybe a bit more precious,

0:22:24 > 0:22:26which is their reputations.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32It's going to be General Knowledge. You can confer.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33I'm sorry, that doesn't help you.

0:22:33 > 0:22:38So, Spread Eagles, the question is can your one brain defeat these five?

0:22:38 > 0:22:41- It's a lot newer.- Yeah.- It's younger.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Even it up. Swap round a few players on each side.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45No, you don't need to do...

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Believe me, when there is five of them, you can get confusion

0:22:48 > 0:22:49- and that's what we want.- True.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51So, Charlie, do you want to go first or second?

0:22:51 > 0:22:53Can I go second, please? Thank you.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00OK, so first question to the Eggheads. Here we go.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03In Greek mythology, who was the father of Poseidon?

0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Cronus, Cronus.- Yeah, Cronus.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Yes, Cronus.

0:23:11 > 0:23:17- That was Cronus.- Do you think they are right?- I think they are.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Cronus is the right answer. I think that's a tough question.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21I mean, would you have known that?

0:23:21 > 0:23:26- He's the Titan who gave birth to Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.- Right.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29- I wish I had gone first! - JEREMY LAUGHS

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Yeah, OK, all right. Maybe we have got a quizzer here.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36All right, this is interesting now. Here is your question.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40UK government ministerial boxes are traditionally which colour?

0:23:43 > 0:23:47I would have thought red would be slightly too Communist.

0:23:47 > 0:23:52Um...black, you know, sounds discrete.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54I'm going to go with black.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58- They are traditionally known as red boxes.- Ooh!

0:23:58 > 0:24:00So ministers have red boxes, yes. So the answer is red.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Red is the answer. OK, Eggheads.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Which English cathedral is known as the Ship Of The Fens?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Ely.- Don't think the others are in the Fens, are they?

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Yeah, the others are further, further away.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20The town of Ely is surrounded by damp low-lying land and it is

0:24:20 > 0:24:24the cathedral at Ely that is known as the Ship Of The Fens. So Ely.

0:24:25 > 0:24:30Ely is the right answer. Well done. It's a city not a town, by the way.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Apologies.- We apologise to everyone

0:24:33 > 0:24:37and that apology can be taken as all-encompassing.

0:24:37 > 0:24:42OK, Charlie, your question. You need to get this right.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46In 2000, an image of Charles Darwin first featured on which

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Bank of England note?

0:24:52 > 0:24:56I wish I could say I have owned a £50 note but I haven't so...

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Pfff!

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I've owned fives and tens

0:25:01 > 0:25:04and I don't remember seeing Darwin on either of them.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Or have I?- Let me read it again.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14In 2000, an image of Charles Darwin first featured on which

0:25:14 > 0:25:15Bank of England note?

0:25:21 > 0:25:24I feel this is one I should really know.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27But I don't for certain.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33- I'm going to go with my gut and just go with £10 note.- You are not sure.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37You were thinking, it wasn't, maybe 50.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39- I could see you veering towards 50. - Yeah.- You're right, though.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Well done. It is £10.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45So you would have seen it but it is hard to remember which note

0:25:45 > 0:25:48- these things are on.- Yeah.- He's still there, isn't he, Eggs, or not?

0:25:48 > 0:25:53- He's still on the 10?- Er...- Don't know.- I feel I see...- I think so.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58- Yeah, yeah.- Crazy beard.- Yes, yes. - Hummingbird.- Hummingbird.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Right, so where are we?

0:26:00 > 0:26:03You have got two, Challengers have got one.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05If you get this one right, Eggheads,

0:26:05 > 0:26:08cos Charlie let you go first, the contest is over.

0:26:08 > 0:26:14John Witherow became the editor of which daily UK newspaper in 2013?

0:26:18 > 0:26:22- I'm reasonably sure it's The Times. - Yeah, I thought it was.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26- I don't think it's either of the others.- Yeah, The Sun changed

0:26:26 > 0:26:28- relatively recently.- Yeah.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31I was thinking before the choices came up, that he was something

0:26:31 > 0:26:32- to do with The Times.- Yeah.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Either The Times or The Sunday Times and it said daily paper

0:26:34 > 0:26:37- so it's The Times.- Yeah, it's The Times.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39I don't think it's The Sun.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41I think it is The Times, yeah.

0:26:41 > 0:26:45OK. We'll go with The Times, Jeremy.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48If you're right, the contest is over. What do you think, Charlie?

0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Do you think they are right? - I can't say I am sure on this one.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54- He was Sunday Times at some point, wasn't he?- Yeah.

0:26:54 > 0:27:00The guy who went on to run BBC News, James Harding, was replaced by,

0:27:00 > 0:27:02you're quite right, John Witherow.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05John Witherow was indeed The Times editor.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08So we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15It's those beastly red boxes.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17HE CHUCKLES We don't see them often.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20- I suppose, the budget box, is that a red box?- Hmm.- They are all red.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Or is that different...?

0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Mmm. More brown, though, isn't it? - No, it's red.- Is it red?

0:27:25 > 0:27:27- It's just old.- OK. All right,

0:27:27 > 0:27:30you can see how we can almost get into a fight over what colour

0:27:30 > 0:27:33George Osborne's box is.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Anyway, Charlie, I am sorry about that. Sorry about that, Charlie.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38You've just, just, got ahead of you in the last round.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41All of them there, when they are all firing is quite difficult.

0:27:41 > 0:27:46And Lisa has got her confidence back, I can tell. So...commiserations.

0:27:46 > 0:27:47Commiserations, Spread Eagles.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Great to see a young team in from York University. The Eggheads

0:27:50 > 0:27:53have done what comes naturally to them. They still reign supreme

0:27:53 > 0:27:56over quizland. We can call it a bit of a run.

0:27:56 > 0:27:57It's not a walk any more, it's a run.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00It may even become a sprint, who knows? But you're on at the moment.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02See if you can get ten in a row.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04That means you won't be going home with the £5,000.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07The money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Who will beat you? Well, let's see. Maybe the next team will.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13Maybe they will have the brains to defeat them. Till then, goodbye.
