0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challenges
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:37are How Fabby from Paisley.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team of friends are a very social bunch
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and they take their team name from their two favourite pubs,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45The Wee Howff and The Abbey. Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, my name's Michael, and I'm a plasterer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's David and I'm a taxi driver.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, my name's Brian and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Mikey and I'm a plumbing and heating engineer.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Stevie. I'm an electrician.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00So, Michael and team, welcome.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Good to see you.- Hi there.- Hi.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05So, two pub names, Wee Howff, what does that mean?
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Wee howff, it means your favourite haunt, the place you go, um...
0:01:09 > 0:01:11that's kind of where it got its name,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14and The Abbey bar is just next to the Paisley Abbey,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16so that's where that got its name from.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19We combined the name between the two of them, we came up with How Fabby.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Yes, I've got it completely. - It was David...
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- It was David's stroke of genius, was it?- Yes...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And does the quizzing happen in one of them or both of them?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Both of them.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Actually, quite a few of us have ran pub quizzes in the past.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34We quite like quizzing quite a lot,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37but we spend a lot of time drinking in them as well,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- so, it's a bit of both. - You surprise me!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And the colours today,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43am I alone in remarking that the colours
0:01:43 > 0:01:46are kind of coordinated that you're wearing? It's almost like a
0:01:46 > 0:01:48desert camouflage or something. THEY LAUGH
0:01:48 > 0:01:51You're going to try and sneak up on them, is that the idea?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Hope so.- Well, good luck.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:55 > 0:01:59for our challengers, however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01the prize money rolls over to the next show,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04as you know. So, How Fabby, the Eggheads are doing well,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07they've won the last six games, and they've had quite a few games
0:02:07 > 0:02:09where they haven't even lost a contestant,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11so, downside is they're playing well,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14the upside is there are £7,000 for you to win today.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Would you like to crack on and try? - We'd love to.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19All right, the first head-to-head battle
0:02:19 > 0:02:21is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Is that good?- Well, um...
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- I think that's me. - David?- Yes, that's me, I think.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Unless somebody else wants to? - THEY LAUGH
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- David?- It's going to be me, yes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Against which egghead, you can have anyone of the five?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Um, was it, did we say Chris?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Chris.- I'll go for Chris, yeah. We'll try Chris, please.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Going to try Chris. So, David from How Fabby
0:02:39 > 0:02:42versus the fabulous Chris from the Eggheads,
0:02:42 > 0:02:46on Film & TV and you watch quite a lot of, I know not films, but TV.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47- TV, yeah.- Yeah.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49OK, so, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52would you take your positions in our Question Room.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- So, David, you're a taxi driver. - That's correct.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58And it says here that your strongest subject is trashy TV.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- DAVID LAUGHS - We'll see.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- That's the same as you, Chris.- More or less, yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06What's your favourite show at the moment, Chris?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Er, I'd say The Big Bang Theory.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11It's this American comedy that's really rather well written
0:03:11 > 0:03:13and rather funny about these four nerdy,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16postgraduate student types and their girlfriends
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and the scrapes they get into...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Yeah, it's good fun.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23OK, Film & TV, David, your choice, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Good luck. Taking on the Eggheads, they haven't even had a contestant
0:03:30 > 0:03:33knocked out for quite a few games, so let's see how you do here.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Here's your question, David. Ian Lavender
0:03:35 > 0:03:38appears as Private Pike in which TV sitcom?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Erm...
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I remember Ian Lavender.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Wasn't in the Army Game, don't think he was in It Ain't Half Hot Mum,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I'm pretty sure he was in Dad's Army.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Well done, Dad's Army it was.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Chris, your question.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Which musical instrument is Lisa Simpson
0:03:59 > 0:04:02often seen playing in the Simpsons?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I think at various times she has played all three,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09but her main instrument is the saxophone.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- The correct answer is saxophone, well done. Do you watch that as well?- Yes.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14It is funny, isn't it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17It's lost its edge, somehow. It's not what it is used to be.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Ah. OK, David.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Who plays the role of the aspiring jazz drummer,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Andrew Nieman, in the 2014 film, Whiplash?
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Well, I've seen the movie.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Now...
0:04:35 > 0:04:37The name...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40that rings a bell with me out of those three is Chris Hemsworth,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43so I think I'm going to have to go for Chris Hemsworth.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Is he right, Eggheads?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Miles Teller.- Miles Teller. - Miles Teller is the answer, yeah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50OK, Chris, your question.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Ethan Hawke married which actress in 1998?
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Ah...
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Angelina Jolie, Uma Thurman or Julia Roberts?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Ethan Hawke and...
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- ..Julia Roberts.- No.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- No.- Julia Roberts is wrong.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Oh?- It is Uma.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Uma Thurman.- Yeah.- Mm.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18OK, one each after two questions.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21That's pretty good, David. He's just let you off the hook there.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24See if you can get this right. Press the advantage.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27The TV series Better Call Saul
0:05:27 > 0:05:29is a spin-off from which other drama?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Well, thankfully I was a big fan of this show. Um...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It's not Dexter, not Mad Men, it's Breaking Bad.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40It's absolutely Breaking Bad, well done.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41GENTLE APPLAUSE
0:05:41 > 0:05:44So, let's see if Chris is the one who knocks.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Which Scottish actress played Missy,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Chris, in the TV series, Doctor Who, in 2014?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- You get this wrong, you're out. - That was Ronni Ancona.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Ronni Ancona is your answer.- Uh-hm.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's wrong, actually, it's Michelle Gomez,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07so we say well done to our Challengers, you have
0:06:07 > 0:06:10taken out an Egghead!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13So, this long run that they'd had of not losing any rounds at all
0:06:13 > 0:06:16has come to an end. David, well done, you are in the final round,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Chris, you are not, you've been knocked out,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22please, both of you return to your team-mates and we'll play on.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So, as it stands, How Fabby have lost no brains from the final round,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29the Eggheads have lost a brain. So, really good start, well done.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31So, the next subject for you is Science.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Is there a scientist here?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Myself, then?- Go for it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- I think it's myself, Jeremy, for this one.- They all agree,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40it's you, Michael, it's definitely you.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Who would you like to play against? - Who do you think?- Dave.- Dave?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Go for Dave, then.- OK, so it is Michael from How Fabby -
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Dave from the Eggheads. It's been a while since you played Science.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- A couple of games ago, I think. - Was it?- Yeah.- Did you win?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Yes, I did win, but, er...
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Such a broad subject it just depends how the questions fall,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- as my colleague would say. - So, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04please take your positions.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07So, Michael, you're one of these people who wins competitions,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- I gather?- I've won a couple when I worked for a previous employer.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I won a five-star trip to London to get my photo taken
0:07:14 > 0:07:17with the World Cup. And I also won a trip to anywhere in the world,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20which... My sister and her partner took that,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22so... They went to Cuba with that, so...
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Right. OK, well, I hope you are equally as successful today.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Me, too. - And up against Dave on Science.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37So, here we go with your first question, Michael.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40What is the technical term for the human kneecap?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Right, I'm not fantastic on the human body. I'm pretty sure
0:07:47 > 0:07:50it's not the tibia or the cranium. I think the cranium is your head.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52So, I think it's the patella.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Patella is the right answer, well done.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Dave, your question. Approximately what percentage of the earth's
0:07:58 > 0:08:00atmosphere is made up of nitrogen?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Yeah...I think...it's, er...
0:08:08 > 0:08:10nitrogen, you said, yeah? 78%.
0:08:12 > 0:08:1478% is correct, well done.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Back to you, Michael, in the human body, a lymphocyte
0:08:17 > 0:08:19is a type of what?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Lymphocyte...
0:08:26 > 0:08:31The word lymph reminds me of some kind of hormone type thing.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Erm, tied between that and skin lesion.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I don't think it's a white blood cell, but, again,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38the human body I'm not fantastic at.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41But I'll go with my original instinct and go for hormone.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Hormone. Dave, do you know this one? Is he right?
0:08:43 > 0:08:44I think it's a white blood cell.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Yeah, it is a white blood cell.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47HE LAUGHS
0:08:47 > 0:08:50It is a white blood cell. I'm sorry, we're hitting you with
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- the human body here. - I know, it's terrible.- I know.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55OK, Dave, which of these is the name of an extinct group of
0:08:55 > 0:08:57aquatic reptiles?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Pterosaurs tend to indicate to me that they fly.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Er...dinosaurs...
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I think...it's...ichthyosaurs.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Ichthyosaurs...
0:09:17 > 0:09:21is the correct answer. Yeah. Got it right, well done, ichthyosaurs.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Back to you, Michael, you must get this one right.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27What is the more common name for the rhino called
0:09:27 > 0:09:30the hook-lipped rhinoceros?
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Mmm...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40..hook-lipped rhinoceros...
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I'll rule out the black rhinoceros.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Out of the other two I'll just need to take a wild stab in the dark
0:09:47 > 0:09:51and go for... I'll go for Javan rhinoceros.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Black rhinoceros is the answer, Michael, sorry, so...
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Well...
0:09:55 > 0:09:58No way back for you in this round at Dave has taken it
0:09:58 > 0:10:00and he will be in the final and you've been knocked out.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Never fear...- OK.- ..you can still turn it around, your team.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Please, return to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Well, Michael, it's always painful when the skipper goes.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- What can you do? - And the human body...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15It's not my strongest subject, to be honest with you.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Or, kind of, nature either! - Yeah, cos the Science round can...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21We know this... It can go in all directions...
0:10:21 > 0:10:25You get the periodic table, you get...plants, rockets,
0:10:25 > 0:10:26everything... So...
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Anyway, bad luck. How Fabby have lost a brain,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31but of course, the Eggheads have lost one too,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34so it's quite a contest here. The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Arts & Books, Brian, that will be you.- Yeah.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- You OK with that? - Brian, in the middle, OK.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41And who do you want to take on, Brian?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Your options are all quite strong... Judith... - It's up to you.- OK, Judith.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Go for Judith, please.- Good.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49So, Brian from How Fabby versus our own Judith
0:10:49 > 0:10:53from the Eggheads, on Arts & Books. And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56please, take your positions.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59So, Brian, are you the quizmeister in the team, then?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Well, er, I'd like to think so...
0:11:01 > 0:11:03LAUGHTER
0:11:03 > 0:11:06You'll be pleased to know, they are all laughing here.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Arts & Books, any particular favourite in that category for you?
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- Er...books or classical music.- OK. So, Brian, Arts & Books,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- first or second?- Ladies first.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Here is your first question, Judith...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Which of these is a 20th century work of art?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- 20th century work of art? - 20th century.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Warhol is definitely 20th century, so Andy Warhol.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Warhol's One Hundred Cans is the right answer, well done.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK, over to you, Brian.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Erika Leonard is the real name of which bestselling author?
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Well, it's not Dan Brown. I don't think it's JK Rowling.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I'll go for EL James.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04El James it is, well done.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Who wrote... Anyone here?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07ALL: Fifty Shades Of Grey.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Fifty Shades Of Grey. Have you read that, Judith?- No.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11- Would you?- No.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13SHE CHUCKLES
0:12:13 > 0:12:16It's maybe not the best-written, but my goodness, so many people read it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17You've read it, have you?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I have read it, cos everyone else was, he said, blushing!
0:12:20 > 0:12:21SHE LAUGHS
0:12:21 > 0:12:23OK...
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Here's your question, Judith. The artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir
0:12:27 > 0:12:29was born in which year?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Well, he was a French Impressionist, so he would have been born in...
0:12:38 > 0:12:401841.
0:12:40 > 0:12:431841 is correct. Judith, well done, you got it right.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47OK, back to you, Brian. Your second question...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Which of these is a poem written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Well, I know exactly which one it is...
0:12:58 > 0:12:59It's How Do I Love Thee?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- And how do you know that?- Because I know it's not the other two.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05LAUGHTER
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I thought you were about to go and quote the whole thing for us, there.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I remember doing it at school, but that's a very long time ago.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Anyway, How Do I Love Thee? is the right answer, well done, Brian.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17So, two each, tight round.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Judith, back to you, Arts & Books. I would say your favourite subject.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Which author wrote the 1975 novel, High Rise, about a tower block
0:13:24 > 0:13:27that descends into tribal conflict?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- What date?- 1975.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38High Rise. Oh, Lord.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I don't think it's Will Self, cos I think it's too soon for Will Self.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Erm, well, Clockwork Orange was sort of...
0:13:46 > 0:13:49modern life descending into tribal conflict, would he
0:13:49 > 0:13:53have written another one? Anthony Burgess, I mean...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Oh, dear, I don't know, it's going to be Will Self.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Um, I'm going to say JG Ballard.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00BARRY LAUGHS
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Yes, you've got it right.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05It wasn't going to be Will Self cos he's too young, but...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- He's too young, then.- But Burgess and Clockwork Orange, I thought,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- was leading you in that direction. - Yes, but I thought he wouldn't
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- have repeated it.- Oh, I see.- He'd have gone on to something else.- OK.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18At least, that's what I hoped.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Back to you, Brian. The trouble with going second is you've got
0:14:20 > 0:14:24the pressure moment now. You've got to get this right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:30John Dryden's play All For Love, also known as The World Well Lost,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32retells which famous story?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I don't know this one.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41So, I'm just trying to eliminate...
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Well, Antony lost everything for love, so I'm going to go for
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Antony and Cleopatra.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It's very astute of you, cos you sort of sound like
0:14:54 > 0:14:57you want to go for Romeo and Juliet but it would have taken you astray.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Antony and Cleopatra's right, well done.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02So, three out of three for both of you. Good round.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05We go to Sudden Death, Judith. Comes a little tougher,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09cos I don't give you alternative answers, as you well know.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12The Ipcress File is a spy thriller by which author?
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Erm, Len Deighton.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Len Deighton is correct.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Brian, who became the UK's poet laureate in 1968?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Sir John Betjeman.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29That's wrong.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Cecil Day-Lewis is the answer, I'm afraid, Brian.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35And that was just all Sudden Death and it did end suddenly, I'm afraid.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38There we are. I thought we were going to go on for lots of questions there.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Brian, I'm so sorry, you've been knocked out by Judith,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43who has triumphed on Arts & Books and will be in the final round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47If you come back to us, we'll play the next round.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Bad luck, Brian. John Betjeman became poet laureate in '72,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- so you weren't far out, there.- Yeah. - Just four years later.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- And, Judith, we've had a little look at the records...- Mm.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00On Arts & Books, 33 of the last 36...victories.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I'm glad you said that now, rather than before.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04LAUGHTER
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- But I will say it next time. - No, don't you dare, Jeremy!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09HE LAUGHS
0:16:09 > 0:16:12So mischievous. Anyway, as it stands, How Fabby have lost two brains
0:16:12 > 0:16:15from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18The next subject is Politics.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Politics...- Who would like this? - Mikey or Stephen.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- I think it's going to be Stevie. - I'll take it.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Stevie, at the end, OK. Electrician from Paisley against...
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- which Egghead?- Which one do you want?- Barry or Kevin?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Phh...lucky me(!)- I think you should go for Barry.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Barry.- Go for Barry.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Go for Barry, then. Barry, please.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40All right. OK, so Stevie from How Fabby on Politics, versus
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Barry from the... It almost rhymes, doesn't it?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Barry from the Eggheads, please go to the Question Room.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50OK, Stevie, it's Politics against our Barry
0:16:50 > 0:16:53without the beard... HE LAUGHS
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- And would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01And here is your first question, Stevie, good luck.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05What was the name of the youngest brother of John and Robert Kennedy,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08himself a US senator for over 40 years?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15I think it's not James.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Teddy Kennedy...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Edward.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21I think it's Edward.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Edward is the right answer, well done, yes, Teddy Kennedy.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29- Almost had a run at president, didn't quite...do it.- Yeah.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Barry, which of these was the nickname of the politician
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Michael Heseltine?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39It was a wonderful nickname cos I thought it suited him perfectly,
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- and he was known as Tarzan. - Tarzan is correct, well done.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Well done. And I think his biography was called Life In The Jungle...?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Yes, it was.- I think...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52OK, over to you, Stevie.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55For how many years must a candidate for the US President
0:17:55 > 0:17:57have been resident in the country?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03I haven't a clue.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I've never heard this before, so...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I'll go for the longest one at 22.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Yes, I would have gone for that, but it's wrong, 14 years.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16This is a strange one, because I thought someone like
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Schwarzenegger can't be... US President, can he?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- He can be governor, though, can't he?- Yes, he can.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25But he's been resident for a long time, but I don't...
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- I thought the whole point was he can't run for it. But maybe I'm wrong.- Can't he?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- This was written into the Constitution right at the start... - You've got to be born in the States.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Yes, you have to be born in the States.- That's why Superman couldn't run for it...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- LAUGHTER Who couldn't run for it? - Superman!
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Yes, Superman couldn't run for it, yeah.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44So, you had to be born in the States and resident for that
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- amount of time. - For that amount of time, yes,
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- cos you could have been born and then gone somewhere else... - Yes, understood.- ..and come back.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- You have to be at least 35, as well. - At least 35, to run?- Hm.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- It's all written into the Constitution.- Right.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01OK, Barry, your question. A motion for a UK general election
0:19:01 > 0:19:05other than at a five-year interval has to be agreed by what
0:19:05 > 0:19:06proportion of Commons' members?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Oh, this is a good one, I've not heard this before.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I have to think about this.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I can't imagine it would be as low as a quarter.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I think it must be two-thirds.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23You've got it right, well done. And this is obviously a recent thing
0:19:23 > 0:19:26as a result of the coalition coming in and all that.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Yes, indeed.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It's good to know that it has to be at least two-thirds.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Yeah, two-thirds could get an earlier election.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36So, two to the Eggheads, one to you, Stevie,
0:19:36 > 0:19:37got to get this one right.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Annie's Bar was a famous feature of which political building?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I don't think it's the Scottish Parliament.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I couldn't imagine it being the...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I'll go for the House of Commons.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Yes, completely right, House of Commons it is.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Not sure if it was an MPs' bar or a press bar, I can't remember.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02But... Certainly in there somewhere.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07So, Barry, if you get this one right you are in the final round.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10"Like being savaged by a dead sheep,"
0:20:10 > 0:20:14was how the Labour politician Denis Healey famously described
0:20:14 > 0:20:15being attacked by which man?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21This was a wonderful comment...
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I think he did this politician a deal of injustice,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27cos he was really quite a significant politician
0:20:27 > 0:20:30and very trustworthy. But it was Geoffrey Howe.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35It was Geoffrey Howe, who had his own back, in a way, when he took down
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Mrs Thatcher with a famous speech. - He did, indeed.- Yeah.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Geoffrey Howe is right, so, Barry, you got three out of three there.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- I think you like your politics, don't you, Barry?- I do, yes.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46So, you are in the final. Sorry about that, Stevie,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- he's knocked you out. That costly wrong answer.- Yeah.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52And if you come back to us, both of you, we will play the final round.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55So, this is what we have been playing towards, it is time for
0:20:55 > 0:20:58the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01But I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't
0:21:01 > 0:21:03be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06So, that is Michael and Brian and Stevie from How Fabby.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11And also Chris from the Eggheads, would you, please, leave the studio.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15OK, David and Mikey, you are playing to win How Fabby £7,000.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I know it's been hit and miss so far, the contest,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20but honestly, you can do it. You've taken a lump out of the
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Eggheads, the lump being Chris.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23LAUGHTER
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Dave, Kevin, Judith and Barry...
0:21:25 > 0:21:26LAUGHTER CONTINUES
0:21:26 > 0:21:28You can't say that.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30..you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35So, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40You can confer with each other. How Fabby, the question is -
0:21:40 > 0:21:44are your two brains able to defeat these four?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47They're just showing signs of attrition at the moment,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49so I think you can do it. David and Mikey, would you like to go
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- first or second?- I think we'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58All right, best of luck to you - here we go...
0:21:58 > 0:22:00If somebody shouts out, "Shotgun!" which seat in a car
0:22:00 > 0:22:03are they hoping to reserve for themselves?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05(Passenger...)
0:22:08 > 0:22:12We're quite confident on this one, it's the front passenger seat.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Front passenger seat...is the right answer.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17That's never happened to me...
0:22:17 > 0:22:19David, you're the taxi driver, is that...?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- People shout shotgun, do they? - Had it once or twice, yeah.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24LAUGHTER
0:22:24 > 0:22:25OK, you're correct, anyway.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27First question to you, Eggheads...
0:22:27 > 0:22:31In which Japanese martial art do competitors typically
0:22:31 > 0:22:33use bamboo or wooden swords?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Kendo?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38ALL: Kendo? Yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40That's kendo.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Kendo is right.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44OK, second question to you, Challengers.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47What is the literal meaning of the phrase, "terracotta" when
0:22:47 > 0:22:49translated from the Italian?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Terra?- Terra.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Well, it's definitely earth.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Well, terracotta.- Hang on, so...
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- That's red, is it not? - Baked earth cos it's pottery.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07That makes sense to me.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12All the terracotta soldiers in China were baked. It's pottery, so...
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Go with baked, then, yeah? - I think so.- I'm not sure.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I think we'll go with baked earth.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Eggheads, are they right?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Yes.- Yup! 100%, well done, baked earth.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Your second question.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Which American city has a subway system
0:23:27 > 0:23:30sometimes informally known as "The T"?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Chicago is "The L." - My first thought was Boston.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44My thought was Boston, it's not New York.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I don't think Los Angeles has a subway.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- I think it does, I don't know.- Does it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- I was there, I never saw one. - In an earthquake area...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54My instinct was Boston.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56My instinct... I should know it, but I don't know it.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Chicago's the Loop.- That's right.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04- What's the New York one called. - Metro.- Just the Metro.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Boston was coming up in...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10There's nothing saying Los Angeles to me.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- What about you, Kevin?- I bet Chris is having kittens at the back, there.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15OK...
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Yeah... The other thing with LA... You're dealing with more...
0:24:20 > 0:24:23..freeways and... I don't know what...
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Also it's an earthquake area...
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Could really spread...
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- I'm not aware of Los Angeles.- No...
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Yeah, I think we've got to go with Boston.- I'm happy with Boston.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Not too sure on this. We don't think it's New York,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38but we're having a little bit of a problem
0:24:38 > 0:24:40with whether Los Angeles has A) got one...
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Because of being in an earthquake area
0:24:43 > 0:24:47and whether that might be called "The T". But on balance...
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Boston certainly has got a metro system and...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52We'll go for Boston.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Boston...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Well, it is the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority -
0:24:56 > 0:25:00MBTA. And it's called "The T" possibly for that reason.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Not LA, not New York. Yes, Boston is the answer, well done.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Well done, team.- Well done. - Chris, you knew that, didn't you?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- I knew that, Jeremy.- Yep.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09So, Challengers...
0:25:09 > 0:25:12all-important third question. Get this right...
0:25:12 > 0:25:15And we've seen it happen before - they start to panic...
0:25:15 > 0:25:16And then they lose.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19And we're playing for £7,000.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Who succeeded his father, Juan Carlos I,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26to become the King of Spain in June 2014?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Do you know?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I knew who the king was beforehand...
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I don't think it's something I've heard...at all.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- No.- You've not got any... - Nothing's ringing a bell.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50..gut instinct with one, no?
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Alfonso, maybe?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55- I don't know...- It's...
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Do you want to go for it?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- We've got nothing better to go on, have we?- No.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So, we're going to take a wee punt here and...Alfonso.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I wonder if you're right...
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I can't picture this guy. Eggheads, it's it Alfonso?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Felipe VI.- Felipe.- Felipe VI, it's the one with the lowest number!
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Hardly sounds fair.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Felipe VI is the answer...
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Eggheads, here's your question...
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Which female tennis player won the singles titles at both
0:26:25 > 0:26:31Wimbledon and the US Open in 1957 and 1958?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yeah, it's Althea Gibson, just check the dates,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42because it's '57 and '58.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44'59 was Bueno, wasn't it?
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Mo Connelly was...- Early '50s, 52...
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It is Althea Gibson...
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- Are we all happy? - Maria Bueno is the '60s, wasn't she?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- '59.- She won it in... Wimbledon in '59, then again in the '60s.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- Yeah.- Maureen Connelly was '52, 3, 4.- Yeah, so it's Althea Gibson.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Yeah.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Very confident on that, yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Well done.- It's Althea Gibson.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- I do sometimes wonder how they know this stuff.- No idea.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14It's amazing, isn't it?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Not just to know Althea, but the other ones as well.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18The correct answer is Althea Gibson.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21We say, congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- She was a sportsperson in another field, as well.- Golf?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Yeah, golf, Judith, exactly.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34She was a professional golfer, as well.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Well done. Even though you lost Chris, you've played a good game
0:27:37 > 0:27:39there, Eggheads. I'm sorry, Challengers.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42They are just in very good form at the moment. Have you enjoyed it?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Yeah, it's been great, yeah.- Yeah. But commiserations to
0:27:45 > 0:27:47How Fabby. It's been great to see you, and play the game with you.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52we can say that with confidence at the moment.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56They really are on a winning streak. It means the Challengers won't be going home with the £7,000,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I'm afraid. So we take the money and we roll it over to the next show.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Eggheads, congratulations. I'm starting to think
0:28:02 > 0:28:03you'll never lose.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:06 > 0:28:08have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Or maybe even get a couple of them out, this time.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13£8,000 says they can't do it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Till then, goodbye.
