0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers

0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads. Welcome, Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36Sometimes, I don't think I'm welcoming enough to you.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38- It's very good to have you here. - Thank you very much.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42- It's great to be here.- Are you feeling like winning?- Yes.- Always.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Feeling like it, yes.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48Right. Taking on our quiz champions today are We Love Tripe.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Now, everyone on this team is

0:00:50 > 0:00:52a supporter of the Tripe Marketing Board, which is

0:00:52 > 0:00:56an apparently fictional organisation whose aim is to promote

0:00:56 > 0:01:01- the cultural heritage of, yes, tripe. Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Bill.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03I'm a checkout operator.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Sue and I'm retired from the NHS.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hi, I'm Sarah and I run a bespoke pork pie company.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Hello, I'm Jonathan and I'm a teacher.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hello, I'm Paul and I'm the manager of a small charity.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19- So, Bill, team, welcome. Good to see you.- Hello.- Hello.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22I think I have seen references to the Tripe Marketing Board

0:01:22 > 0:01:25but it was always a bit fictional, was it?

0:01:25 > 0:01:28To some people, it's real. Very real.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32- It's serious to you, I'm sensing. - I think so, yes.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34It's central to my life, I think.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36I had tripe in France once by accident cos

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- I didn't know what an andouillette grillee was.- Right.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- I made a note of it because, to be honest, I was traumatised by it.- OK.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- It was very strong.- Ah.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50- Does that sound like I was eating the wrong thing?- I think probably, yes.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53- You should try the tripe from the local chippy, I think.- OK.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55What is tripe?

0:01:55 > 0:01:57It's the innards of cattle.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Or sometimes called humbles, but we're a broad church.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04We include chitterlings and hodge as well.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08- But tripe has brought you together. - It has. The warm embrace of tripe.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Well, I hope your performance is better than tripe.- Yes.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:17 > 0:02:20the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23So, We Love Tripe, I can tell you the Eggheads are on their mettle,

0:02:23 > 0:02:26aren't they? They've won the last five games,

0:02:26 > 0:02:30so that means there's £6,000 to play for today.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33How much tripe could you roughly buy with that?

0:02:33 > 0:02:35LAUGHTER

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Um... Covering a medium sized English county, I think.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42The first head-to-head battle, speaking of that, is on the subject of Geography.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Who would like to play Geography? - Who is taking Geography?

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Well, that would be Paul.- Paul?

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- OK, I'll do that.- And which Egghead would you like to take on, Paul?

0:02:52 > 0:02:56You can see them all here. Chris in orange. Lisa in orange.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58We're keeping them apart for that reason.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00I think I'd like to take on Lisa.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03So, Paul from We Love Tripe against Lisa from the Eggheads.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05And just to ensure there's no conferring,

0:03:05 > 0:03:09would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12OK, so you can choose whether you go first or second, Paul.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19And all the best to you, here we go.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Which of these French areas is located in the north of the country?

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Well, I know Provence is the south.

0:03:30 > 0:03:35And Midi-Pyrenees is towards the south.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38I would go for Normandy.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Normandy is quite right. Well done.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42OK, Lisa. Your question.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45In terms of population, what is the largest city in Japan?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Um...

0:03:51 > 0:03:53I think Osaka is only the second biggest.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57I think it's probably safe to assume it's Tokyo.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Well, Barry would know this cos he loves Japan. Tokyo is correct.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Well done. Back to you, Paul.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Copacabana Beach is a famous feature of which city?

0:04:12 > 0:04:18Well, I'm just about in the depths of my memory recalling the song.

0:04:18 > 0:04:23And I think that was Rio de Janeiro.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26It was indeed Rio de Janeiro. You're right.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30Two out of two. Over to Lisa. Here's your question.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Which European country is nicknamed the Land of Fire and Ice?

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Right. Um...

0:04:39 > 0:04:43Presumably, the fire part is to do with sort of geysers

0:04:43 > 0:04:46or hot springs or volcanoes.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50All of which I think you find in Iceland. I'll go for Iceland.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Yes, indeed. Have you been there? - No, I'd love to go.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55OK. Back to you, Paul.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Which US state is the most easterly of the six that make up New England?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06I couldn't really say for certain on this one, Jeremy.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09It's going to be a guess, I think.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Um...

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Not inclined towards New Hampshire.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18I think I'm heading towards Maine.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Please.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Maine is your answer. And Maine is correct. Well done.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26So you've got a sort of mental image of the way it juts out towards

0:05:26 > 0:05:27the top, yeah?

0:05:27 > 0:05:30No, I've just had a guess, Jeremy, to be honest!

0:05:30 > 0:05:34Well, you were right anyway. OK, he's got three out of three.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Doesn't make it easy for you, does he?- That's one way of putting it!

0:05:38 > 0:05:41The National Memorial Arboretum is in which English county?

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Right. If I were going to put in a National Memoriam Arboretum...

0:05:50 > 0:05:51..where would I put it?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Would I put it in Derbyshire?

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Or would there be too many hills in the way?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Would I put it in Buckinghamshire? Maybe.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07No, I can't say for certain,

0:06:07 > 0:06:11so we'll have to do a first instinct job and go for Staffordshire.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Let's try Chris. I know he'll know. - Yes, in Staffordshire.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Near any particular place?

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I think it's just about six miles north of Tamworth.- Right.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20I've been there, actually, yeah.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Beautiful place. Staffordshire is the answer.- Blimey.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25All right. So, three out of three for both of you.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28So, Paul, it gets a tiny bit harder now. I don't give you alternatives.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30We're on Sudden Death.

0:06:30 > 0:06:36In Macapa, Brazil, the Marco Zero is a monument to what?

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Zero suggests it might be something

0:06:40 > 0:06:43to do with geography.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Maybe a line on the map.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Um...

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Really struggling here to even dredge anything.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Um... So it's going to have to be an absolute guess.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Um...

0:06:59 > 0:07:03I think it might mark the mid point of South America.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06OK, that's wrong. It's the Equator. Not far off.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Passes directly through Macapa.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10OK, Lisa. Your question.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13How many US states are within the area

0:07:13 > 0:07:16described as the Contiguous United States?

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Um...

0:07:20 > 0:07:24Does the Contiguous United States just mean all the bits

0:07:24 > 0:07:29that are actually joined together physically?

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Which would only exclude Hawaii, I think.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Um... Or possibly Rhode Island as well, being an island.

0:07:39 > 0:07:40Yeah, that's a good question, actually.

0:07:40 > 0:07:45Cos if it is talking about the sort of full

0:07:45 > 0:07:48area of the United States, assuming that is what contiguous means,

0:07:48 > 0:07:52then I don't know whether to include Rhode Island or not.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Um... I mean, I think it is a proper island. Um...

0:07:56 > 0:08:00I'm going to assume not and go for 48.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Let's just clear this up. Is Rhode Island an actual island?- No.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05- No, it's not. - So it's 49 then.- No, no.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08You've got it right for the wrong reason.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Cos Alaska is the other one, is it?- Exactly. - For some reason, I don't know.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15You forgot Alaska, which is the size of goodness knows, Western Europe, probably.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Yeah.- But you're absolutely right. 48 is the answer.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21- You can feel slightly ashamed. - Wrong logic, right answer.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Exactly.- Lucky win.- That's all that counts in here. Well done, Lisa.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26You've won through on Geography. Paul, sorry.

0:08:26 > 0:08:27You were beaten by our Egghead.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32Please return to us and rejoin your team-mates and we'll play the next round.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35So a little bit of a shaky start for We Love Tripe,

0:08:35 > 0:08:38but lots of time to come still. We've lost a brain from our Challengers.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42The Eggheads are intact. All their shells are in one piece so far.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45The next subject for you is Sport.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- I'm quite happy to take it. - OK, then.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50I'll take it then, Jeremy, please.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53OK, Jonathan. Against which Egghead, Jonathan?

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Ooh, could I take Judith, please?

0:08:56 > 0:08:59- No!- Oh, please! - It hasn't happened for so long.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Just no!

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- It's been ages since the last time. - It has, actually. That's quite true.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06I haven't done it for ages.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09So, Jonathan from We Love Tripe versus Judith from the Eggheads

0:09:09 > 0:09:14and to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Jonathan, you're a teacher, I understand.- I am, Jeremy, yes.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19And you teach not sport, I'm assuming.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22No, I'm a primary school teacher. I teach in Kendal.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24But you've been tapped up for Sport here.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Yes, it was one of those subjects that someone had to take

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- the bullet, as it were.- Jonathan, the first question is the easiest.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Would you like to go first or second? - Could I go first, please, Jeremy?

0:09:37 > 0:09:38You may and here we go.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Which men's international rugby union team won a record

0:09:41 > 0:09:45equalling 17th consecutive match in 2014?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52I don't think it's England or Wales.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55I suspect that it's New Zealand, Jeremy.

0:09:55 > 0:09:56- It is New Zealand.- Thank you.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Well done.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Judith...

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Which darts player is nicknamed The Viking?

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Well, it's not Cliff Lazarenko.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13Eric Bristow, Andy Fordham...

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Andy "The Viking" Fordham. Andy Fordham.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Well done, you! Yes, it is. The Viking, Andy Fordham.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23OK. Back to you, Jonathan.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Who was the captain of the England cricket team between 1986 and 1988?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33I don't think it was Tony Greig.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37Graham Gooch or Mike Gatting. That's...

0:10:37 > 0:10:43My gut instinct, 1986 to 1988...

0:10:45 > 0:10:48..is Mike Gatting. I'm going to go with Mike Gatting, please.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Yeah, you've got it right. Well done. Mike Gatting.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54OK, Judith. Your question. To keep up.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Who came second behind Lewis Hamilton

0:10:57 > 0:11:01in the 2014 Formula 1 drivers' championship?

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Um...

0:11:07 > 0:11:08I did know this.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Some time ago. I don't think it's Jenson Button.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16And I can't remember whether it's Kimi Raikkonen or Nico Rosberg.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20I... Well, Nico Rosberg is now his team-mate, isn't he?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Um...

0:11:22 > 0:11:24So I'm going to say Nico Rosberg.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Eggheads, is she right?- Yes. She's quite right.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Yes, you are quite right. Nico Rosberg it is.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33This is why you don't get picked on Sport. You're amazing on it now.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Jonathan, your question.

0:11:35 > 0:11:40In which year did the cyclist Chris Hoy win his first Olympic gold medal?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Cycling's not my sport.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Of course, I've heard of Sir Chris Hoy.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Um... Fantastic cyclist, I know.

0:11:51 > 0:11:532000 seems too long ago.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57I think I'm going to go 2008, Jeremy, please.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59See if Judith knows this. Is he right?

0:11:59 > 0:12:04No, I think it's earlier than that. I think it might even be 2000.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06- No, it's 2004.- Oh.- Oh.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09So you went a little bit too recent there, Jonathan.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12So you've got two out of three. This is Judith's moment.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14If she gets this right, she's in the final round

0:12:14 > 0:12:17and will have triumphed on Sport and what will you do to celebrate?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Oh, God, I don't know. Champagne, everything.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25- Yeah. Ticker tape?- Ticker tape. That's up to you.

0:12:25 > 0:12:26At the 2012 Olympic Games,

0:12:26 > 0:12:31the German athlete Robert Harting ripped off his shirt and jumped

0:12:31 > 0:12:35over some hurdles to celebrate winning a gold medal in which event?

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Not hurdles. Um...

0:12:41 > 0:12:45The shot putters and the hammer slingers are rather sort of...

0:12:45 > 0:12:48I can't imagine them jumping over anything, frankly,

0:12:48 > 0:12:51cos they're rather sort of heavy and...

0:12:51 > 0:12:57But a discus thrower is slightly more athletic. I mean, lighter...

0:12:58 > 0:13:01I think it might be the discus thrower, simply...

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Physically a lighter person.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Discus it is.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08You've got three out of three on Sport, Judith. Well done.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- You're in the final.- Right. Ticker, ticker. From the ceiling.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Ticker from the ceiling, you do the champagne.- A shower from the ceiling.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17And you won't get chosen again for days and days and days.

0:13:17 > 0:13:22Sorry, Jonathan. If you come back to us, we'll see what happens next.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28So, Chris Hoy came up there and, Lisa, you have a fact.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31His 2004 Olympic gold medal was in the kilo time trial,

0:13:31 > 0:13:35which they don't actually run any more as an Olympic event, so unless they ever decide to reinstate it,

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Chris Hoy is forever the Olympic champion in the kilo time trial.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41And kilo, you just cycle as fast as you can...

0:13:41 > 0:13:43It's basically as fast as you can for 1,000 metres, yeah.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45So, that's a minute, or something?

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Yeah, I think Chris Hoy did it in less than a minute

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- when he became the Olympic champion. - Wow!

0:13:49 > 0:13:52OK, so, as it stands, We Love Tripe...

0:13:52 > 0:13:53They haven't lost any tripe,

0:13:53 > 0:13:56but they've lost two brains from the final round.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58The Eggheads are still just sitting there...

0:13:58 > 0:14:02You've had a number of games where the five of you have just been impregnable.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05So let's see if you can win this round, Arts & Books.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Who would like this?

0:14:07 > 0:14:11- That's mine.- Do you want to do it? Sue. Sue, please.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14OK. Sue. Against which Egghead?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17You can have Dave or Kevin or Chris, so it's the blokes.

0:14:17 > 0:14:22- The blokes. I'll have Dave, please. - All right,

0:14:22 > 0:14:26so Sue from We Love Tripe versus Dave from the Eggheads on Arts & Books.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Please take your positions.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33Arts & Books, Sue. Do you want to go first or second against Dave?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35I'll go first and take the plunge.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42All right. So here is your first question and good luck to you.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Tiny Tim is a character in which Dickens work?

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Well, definitely not David Copperfield.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58And not Great Expectations. I think it's in...

0:14:58 > 0:15:01He's in A Christmas Carol.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Well done, yes. A Christmas Carol.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06That could trip up people, that question. Dave...

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Sidney and Jane are one of three couples

0:15:09 > 0:15:12in Alan Ayckbourn's play Absurd Person what?

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Singular.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21Yeah, Absurd Person Singular, it is. Back to you, Sue.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25The French writer Victor Hugo lived during which century?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Ooh...

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Well...

0:15:34 > 0:15:37I was going to say it's not the 15th,

0:15:37 > 0:15:40but you start looking at them and thinking... Ooh...

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Um...

0:15:41 > 0:15:43I think I'd say the 19th.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Hopefully.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46OK, Eggheads, is she right?

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Yeah, you are right. Well done, Sue.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your question.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Stormed at with shot and shell, boldly they rode and well

0:15:54 > 0:15:55Into the jaws of death

0:15:55 > 0:15:59Into the mouth of hell rode the 600

0:15:59 > 0:16:00are lines written by which poet?

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Sounds...

0:16:05 > 0:16:09And my dear friend Chris will recite most of it,

0:16:09 > 0:16:12but it sounds like The Charge Of The Light Brigade to me.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15So I've got to go Tennyson.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Is he right, Chris? - He certainly is...Jeremy.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Yeah, it is Jeremy over here, yeah.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25Can you give us the start of the poem or the end of it? Or some other part?

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Something to the left of them, something to the right of them...

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Cannons.- Cannons to the left... - And volleyed and thundered, yeah.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34We're struggling with any other bits of the poem, Dave,

0:16:34 > 0:16:36but Chris has confirmed...

0:16:36 > 0:16:41- Half a league onward into the valley of death rode the 600.- Yeah.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Definitely Tennyson, Dave. Well done. Two each. Sue, you're playing well.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48See if you can dislodge him now and become the first person to

0:16:48 > 0:16:51win through so far and get into the final.

0:16:51 > 0:16:56The influential Dutch graphic artist MC Escher died in which year?

0:17:01 > 0:17:04This is going to be a guess because I've never heard of him,

0:17:04 > 0:17:06I'm very sorry to tell you.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Um...

0:17:08 > 0:17:09I think possibly... Well...

0:17:09 > 0:17:13If he'd been in 1972, I might have heard of him.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14Um...

0:17:16 > 0:17:18I will go for 1942.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21- It's actually '72.- Oh!

0:17:21 > 0:17:25I don't know, maybe graphic art is a slightly more modern thing.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- I don't know.- Yeah. - Difficult to guess that one.

0:17:28 > 0:17:311972, so Dave has the chance to win.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35Albert Camus' novel The Outsider is set in which country?

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Right, I don't know this.

0:17:42 > 0:17:48But all I can go on is a North African influence,

0:17:48 > 0:17:50so I'm going to go Algeria.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53If you have got this right, you're in the final round, Dave.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55You're playing well at the moment, I must say.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Algeria is the right answer. Three out of three again.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Eggheads playing pretty well, not just this game

0:18:00 > 0:18:03but a number of games recently. Sorry, Sue.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06It's that beastly third question again, isn't it?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09You've been knocked out. Dave is in the final.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Both of you, please rejoin your teams.

0:18:12 > 0:18:17So, We Love Tripe have now lost the three brains. Any thoughts on that?

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Are we going to change to a different kind of foodstuff?

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Um... - LAUGHTER

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Operation Omelette still continues, I think.

0:18:24 > 0:18:29- We're not moving up to chitterlings or anything?- No, no. Operation Omelette is still running.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33So the next subject and the last before the final is Music.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Who from We Love Tripe would like Music?- OK. Um...

0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Sarah.- Yes. I'll do that.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Sarah, against which Egghead? - I'm going to go for Kevin.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- You're going for the main man. - Yes.- All right.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50So it's Sarah from We Love Tripe and it's Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54And if you go to the Question Room, we'll get cracking.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56So, Sarah, I must ask you about the pork pies.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- This is your business, right? - Yes, it is indeed.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02We mustn't get confused with tripe. They're not in the pork pies.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06No tripe has been injured in the making of my pork pies.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08And you do unusual flavours, is that right?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Yes, we like to make them a little differently, so I'm just

0:19:11 > 0:19:15about to start picking wild garlic for our wild garlic pork pies.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Ooh, my mouth is watering. - That is coming up.

0:19:18 > 0:19:24And we do chorizo and fig and orange at Christmas. Onion marmalade.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27- It sounds like it's going really well.- Thank you.- So, Music.- Yes.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31And I'm thinking you're going to like the same music as me, so would you like to go first or second?

0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'll go first.

0:19:36 > 0:19:37Good luck, Sarah. Here we go.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Which man found fame as the lead singer of the band Duran Duran?

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Well, it certainly wasn't Holly Johnson. Um...

0:19:49 > 0:19:52So, I think I'm going to go for Simon Le Bon.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56Simon Le Bon is quite right. OK, Kevin.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Which of these stage musicals is set in Scotland?

0:20:01 > 0:20:05Well, the Scottish one there about the disappearing village is

0:20:05 > 0:20:06Brigadoon.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Brigadoon is the right answer, Kevin. Well done.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10So, Music and back to Sarah.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14In which year did the Russian born composer Dmitri Shostakovich die?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22I'm not very sure on this.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25I've heard of him and I knew he was Russian.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27Um...

0:20:27 > 0:20:33Shostakovich... I don't think he was as long ago as 1915.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Um...

0:20:35 > 0:20:38I'm going to say 1975.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40You're right, it is 1975.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Well done.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44OK, your question, Kevin.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48Which British vocalist won four Grammy awards in 2015, including the

0:20:48 > 0:20:52awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist?

0:20:56 > 0:20:582015... Well, I think...

0:20:58 > 0:21:02Yeah, the other two would have been...

0:21:02 > 0:21:06Adele, particularly, has done well at the Grammys, but earlier.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10I think it's got to be Sam Smith. Sam Smith.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15You're right. Sam Smith, it is. So, two each.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Sarah, Nicky Wire found fame as a bassist

0:21:17 > 0:21:19and a songwriter in which band?

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Nicky Wire...

0:21:26 > 0:21:29I really don't know this.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32My instinct is dragging me towards the Manic Street Preachers,

0:21:32 > 0:21:34but it is just instinct.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38No, it's really good instinct. Manic Street Preachers is the right answer.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Three out of three. Good stuff. OK, so Kevin now on the edge.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42If he gets this wrong, he's out.

0:21:42 > 0:21:48I Want To Know What Love Is was a 1985 number one for which band?

0:21:52 > 0:21:54That was Foreigner.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Oh, you're straight there.- Mm.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Were you grooving to that? - I don't groove to anything.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- At the time? Cold As Ice was their other one, wasn't it?- Yes.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06- That's right.- Foreigner is right. OK, we go to Sudden Death, Sarah.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09It gets a bit harder because I don't give you alternative answers.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13What was the surname of the brothers Steve and Muff who were

0:22:13 > 0:22:19original members of the Spencer Davis Group formed in the early 1960s?

0:22:19 > 0:22:23I have no idea on this one. Steve and Muff...

0:22:23 > 0:22:26That's not even ringing any bells.

0:22:26 > 0:22:32So, I'll just hope that they named the band after their dad

0:22:32 > 0:22:33and say Davis.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37No, no. It's not, I'm afraid. I like the logic, actually.

0:22:37 > 0:22:38It was the only logic I could come up with.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41But I didn't know these two were in the Spencer Davis Group.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Steve Winwood...- Oh.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Muff Winwood.- Ah, yes.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46That makes sense now.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50So, Sudden Death. And, Kevin, you have a chance to take the round.

0:22:50 > 0:22:56In which century did the composer Ludwig van Beethoven die?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58In the 19th.

0:22:58 > 0:22:59Can you give me the exact year?

0:22:59 > 0:23:011827.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02- Can you give me the exact date?- No.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04JEREMY LAUGHS

0:23:04 > 0:23:06You're right, it's 1827.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08I just needed the century, I thought you might get that right.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12You've done it on sudden death. Sorry, Sarah, he has knocked you out.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14- Never mind. - In fact, a number of games recently

0:23:14 > 0:23:15where all the Challengers

0:23:15 > 0:23:17have been knocked out. This is another one.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19So, no embarrassment, and you can still win.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21And if you come back to us, both of you,

0:23:21 > 0:23:24we will play the all-important final round.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27OK, so here we are, with, again, the final round,

0:23:27 > 0:23:29which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:23:31 > 0:23:33won't be allowed to take part.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35And it is all Challengers.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39It's Sue and Sarah and Jonathan and Paul from We Love Tripe.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Sorry, but you have to leave the studio.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Sorry, Bill, it wasn't supposed to quite work out like this.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47No, I feel a bit like Butch Cassidy without

0:23:47 > 0:23:50the assistance of the Sundance Kid.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Taking on the Bolivian army.- You going to run out the building?- Yes.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55OK, so you're from Leek in Staffordshire,

0:23:55 > 0:23:57and you're a local historian there?

0:23:57 > 0:24:00I am a local historian, amongst other things, yes.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03I'm sure that will come in handy, I hope there's some history questions

0:24:03 > 0:24:05for you. You're playing to win your team £6,000.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08As for Lisa and Dave and Kevin and Judith and Chris,

0:24:08 > 0:24:11it's almost higher stakes for you,

0:24:11 > 0:24:14because you need to preserve the Eggheads' precious reputation.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16You're playing well at the moment, Eggheads,

0:24:16 > 0:24:17let's see if that continues.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,

0:24:20 > 0:24:23they're all general knowledge, you can confer.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25We Love Tripe, Bill, the question is -

0:24:25 > 0:24:28can your one brain defeat these five?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Would you like to go first or second? - I shall go second.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Eggheads then, you get the first question.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38What type of creature is a ptarmigan?

0:24:41 > 0:24:45- It's a grouse, isn't it?- Yes, yep.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46It's a bird, Jeremy.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47It's a bird.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50One point to them. Bill, your question.

0:24:50 > 0:24:56Alberto Tomba was a leading name in which sports in the 1980s and '90s?

0:25:03 > 0:25:06It's a name that is not familiar to me.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Right...I'm going to rule out skiing.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16On the basis it's a... Latin American name...

0:25:18 > 0:25:23I may be wrong, but I don't see it as a skiing name,

0:25:23 > 0:25:26it's either cycling or squash.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29It's a pure guess, I'm going with cycling.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32OK, cycling is your answer.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Is he right, Eggheads? - No, he's a skier.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38A skier, so how do we reconcile the South American name?

0:25:38 > 0:25:41- He was Italian.- Is it T-O-M-B-E-A-U?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43- No.- T-O-M-B-A.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44- He was Italian.- Italian skier.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48- Particularly slalom. - Was he very good?- Gold medallist.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50Several gold medals.

0:25:50 > 0:25:56He was a very chunky guy who got the nickname "Tomba the Bomba"

0:25:56 > 0:25:59because he was just aggression.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Pure aggression. - Sorry, Bill, skiing.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Over to you, Eggheads. Your second question.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06What Biblical first name did Chris Martin

0:26:06 > 0:26:12and Gwyneth Paltrow give to their son born in April 2006?

0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Moses.- Moses.- CHRIS:- Moses? Definitely Moses.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19Yeah, no question, yeah.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Let's go and part the Red Sea, it's Moses, Jeremy.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Moses is right.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27All right, so they've got two, you need to really get this one right.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29You have to get this one right.

0:26:29 > 0:26:35In classical mythology, Aeneas was a hero from which city?

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Aeneas...

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Erm...

0:26:46 > 0:26:48It's...

0:26:48 > 0:26:50not Colchis.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53It's not Athens.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55I believe it is Troy.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Dido and Aeneas is the thought I had.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59It's Troy.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Troy is the right answer, well done, Bill.

0:27:01 > 0:27:06Big sigh of relief backstage there. Back at the races here.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10OK, Eggheads, if you get this one right, the contest is over.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13If you get it wrong, we go back to Bill.

0:27:13 > 0:27:19In the Thomas The Tank Engine books, by the Reverend W Awdry,

0:27:19 > 0:27:21what are the names of Thomas' two coaches?

0:27:27 > 0:27:32- Annie and Clarabel.- Clarabel.- Why am I telling the train expert? Yeah.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Yeah, it's Annie and Clarabel, Jeremy.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37If it is Annie and Clarabel, you will have got three right

0:27:37 > 0:27:39and Bill's first answer will have cost him dear.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43The answer is Annie and Clarabel.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Oh, that skier.- Yes, it's not a sport I follow, so...

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Tomba the Bomba.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01Your logic, "it can't be South American", I follow that completely.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Yeah.- But then he was Italian. So, commiserations to We Love Tripe.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09They've got a real swagger at the moment,

0:28:09 > 0:28:10they are really on a winning streak.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13It means our Challengers won't be going home with the £6,000,

0:28:13 > 0:28:16so the money rolls over to our next show.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19Eggheads, well done, looking impregnable right now.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Do join us for our next programme to see if a new team of Challengers

0:28:22 > 0:28:24have the brains to defeat them,

0:28:24 > 0:28:26or maybe even just knock one of them out!

0:28:26 > 0:28:30£7,000 says they can't do it. Until then, goodbye.
