0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:28pit their wits against, well,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31we think they are possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are Quiz Family Robinson.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Team captain, James, and his dad, John, are the Robinsons.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42And to complete the quintet,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46they've recruited what they hope are their brainiest friends.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm James and I work as an administration assistant.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm John. I'm a recently-retired company director.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Steve. I'm a catering manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Richard and I'm a community psychiatric nurse.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Ryan and I'm a geography teacher.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So, James, team, welcome.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04- TEAM:- Hello.- Good to see.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08So, you've basically got a pretty powerful quiz unit together here?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09I think so, yeah.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And have you got certain subjects you all have divided up?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Yeah. We've eventually managed to work out,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16over a nice dinner last night,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18what subjects we're all specialists at.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20But I think we're a bit top-heavy on certain subjects,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- so basically we're hoping those come up and others don't.- OK.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Now, every day there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:26 > 0:01:27for our Challengers, I know you know that.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that prize-money rolls over,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33we carry it onto the next show.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34And Quiz Family Robinson,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36the Eggheads have won the last dozen games,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39so it's £13,000 for you to win today.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45So, who would like this? Is this covered by your grid?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Well, we do have one specialist-ish, don't we, Ryan?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I wouldn't say a specialist but I'm more than happy to go for it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- OK, Ryan. You're a geography teacher, Ryan?- Yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Any Eggheads that you'd particularly like on Science?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- THEY CONFER - I think maybe Pat.- Yes, Pat.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05We're going to try and take out some of these world champs and...
0:02:06 > 0:02:08..the first one is going to try and be Pat.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Right. So, it is Ryan, from Quiz Family Robinson,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15trying to take down Pat first from the Eggheads on Science.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23OK. So, Ryan, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Erm, I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30And here we go with your first Science question.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Which of these names is often given to areas of the internet
0:02:33 > 0:02:36that are not indexed on the World Wide Web?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Erm, that I believe is the dark web.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Dark web is the right answer, well done.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Pat, over to you.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51The adjective interdental
0:02:51 > 0:02:54refers to the spaces between which parts of the body?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01These are spaces that can grow alarmingly larger as you grow older.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02I think it's teeth.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Teeth is your answer and it is correct. Well done.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09OK. Back to you, Ryan.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Rift Valley fever, which can affect both humans and animals,
0:03:12 > 0:03:17was first identified in a country on which continent in 1931?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23So, when you said Rift Valley,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25that immediately put Africa in my mind.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26I've not heard of the fever
0:03:26 > 0:03:30but going on the basis that it's Rift Valley, I shall say Africa.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31You are right.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34That's the perfect Science question for a geographer, isn't it?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Yeah.- Africa is the answer.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38OK, Pat, your question.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Otoplasty is a term for surgery on which part of the body?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Well, when you go to a hospital
0:03:49 > 0:03:53and you see that there's an Otorhinolarynjectomy -
0:03:53 > 0:03:55or whatever the proper term is - department
0:03:55 > 0:03:59and I think that's ears, nose and throat.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00So, I think it's ears.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Ears is right. Well done. 2-2.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Ryan, back to you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11In genetics, the term phenotype refers to what aspect of an organism?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23So, it's phenotype, which is P-H-E-N-O-T-Y-P-E, all one word.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25There's phenotype and genotype,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29which are ringing some bells from A-level biology,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32which I ended up dropping.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33So...
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Observable characteristics, I think,
0:04:35 > 0:04:39is definitely either phenotype or genotype.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40I'm really not sure on this.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I should know it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43At one point I will have known this.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49I'm going to plump for observable characteristics.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52OK. I like the phrase, "At one point I will have known this."
0:04:52 > 0:04:53That's good, no one's said that before.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56But you still know it. Observable characteristics is right, Ryan.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Well done.- Get in!
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Good.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01And you got there through knowledge.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05OK, your question, Pat. Hanging on by your fingernails here.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08The energy known as dark energy is generally thought to make up
0:05:08 > 0:05:12approximately what percentage of the universe?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Oh, dear, dear, dear.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19- HE SIGHS HEAVILY - This is a bit tricky.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24This is quite a difficult question, Jeremy.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28This isn't a straightforward question.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31They think that the universe is made up of observable matter,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34dark matter and dark energy.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37It's not going to be 30%.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39If dark energy is 70,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43then we only... We have to squeeze dark matter and observable matter
0:05:43 > 0:05:46into a mere 30 and that seems just a bit snug.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50I'm going to, on the basis of 20% observable, 30% dark matter
0:05:50 > 0:05:53and 50% dark energy, so, 50%.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56OK. Kevin, you went, "Oh!" like that.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57I think it's 70.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00You're on the right track but just the wrong proportions, Pat.
0:06:00 > 0:06:0270% is the right answer, you've got it wrong.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You've been knocked out on science by a geographer.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Well done, Ryan!- Get in!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11So, well done, you're in the final. Please come back to us, both of you.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12We'll play on.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15So, Quiz Family Robinson have not lost a brain.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18You've already taken out a big brain from the Eggheads
0:06:18 > 0:06:20and this is looking good now.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22The next subject is Sport.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Is that good?- A very, very good one.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27That was one that we all wanted, didn't we?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29OK, who's feeling confident now?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31He can go up on books and I can go up on sport now
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- and keep him for the classical stuff.- Yeah, OK.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- OK?- Yeah.- OK, we're going to send Steve in.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39OK. Before you go, just choose an Egghead, Steve. Anyone but Pat.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43I'm thinking Judith. We'll target Kevin on another round.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45JEREMY LAUGHS
0:06:45 > 0:06:47We're not supposed to divulge secrets, Ryan.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48This is serious.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51This is serious. OK.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52We'll go with Judith.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54So, it is Steve, from Quiz Family Robinson,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56versus Judith, on Sport.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Steve, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08And here we go with your first question.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13The footballer Eden Hazard joined which English club in 2012?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20He's in my fantasy league team. I believe he plays for Chelsea.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Chelsea is the right answer.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26OK. Your question, Judith.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32The Vuelta a Espana is a major annual event in which sport?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I think that's cycling.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Hm, you're right. Cycling it is. Well done.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Steve, your question.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Well-known for his catching ability,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Odell Beckham Jr is a professional in which sport?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Well, I don't really follow American sports.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58But I believe I've heard the name.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I'm more likely have heard the name watching American football.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04So, I'll go American football.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07You're right, it is American football.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09So, two points to our Challengers.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Judith, what is Andy Murray's middle name?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Oh, what is the most Scottish sounding of those?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Andy Berry Murray, that's a merry sound.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Andy Barron Murray.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Andy Bastian Murray.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Andy Barron.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I think it might be Andy Barron Murray.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Andrew Barron Murray is the right answer.- Oh, is it?- Yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Well, that's pure guess.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Steve, your question.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Which venerable sporting institution was founded in 1754?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Which one? 1754.- 1754?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Yes, indeed.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Now, they're all quite old clubs, obviously
0:08:55 > 0:08:56and they're all well-known.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I would rule out the All England Club
0:08:59 > 0:09:01just on the date alone.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02I love my cricket.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03I'm just basing it on the date,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06golf has been played in this country for, I don't know,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09a bit longer so, my answer is the Royal & Ancient Golf Club.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Well, the logic is good, you've got it right. Well done, Steve.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Three out of three.- Great work. - This team is playing well.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Judith, to stay in.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20The cricketers Matt Prior, Luke Wright and Ed Joyce
0:09:20 > 0:09:22have represented which county team?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Erm, they don't sound very Yorkshire but on the other hand...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33..I suppose anybody can play for Yorkshire.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I always think Yorkshire likes its own, though.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Erm, I'm going to say Sussex.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Dammit.- Yeah, you're right. - Magic right.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Yeah, the magic right. OK.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45So, three out of three
0:09:45 > 0:09:49and after those questions the scores are level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51It gets a bit harder, Steve. I don't give you alternative answers.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52- Here we go.- OK.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55The 3m springboard is one of the competitions
0:09:55 > 0:09:57in which Olympic sport?
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Well, it'd have to be...
0:09:59 > 0:10:02The only sport I can think of with a springboard is diving.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Diving is right.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Judith, in 1987,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10a man known as Konishiki
0:10:10 > 0:10:13became the first competitor born outside Japan
0:10:13 > 0:10:17to achieve the rank of ozeki, in which sport?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Well, I should imagine it must be wrestling
0:10:20 > 0:10:24because it's so unlikely, if you know what I mean.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25And what is your answer?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Well, I mean the wrestling they do in Japan, Japanese wrestling.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I can't accept it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33You've got to say the word sumo in there.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35There's lots and lots of wrestling that's not Japanese.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Oh, that's the word I forgot - sumo wrestling.- Yeah.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It was sumo wrestling. Sorry, Judith, you've been knocked out.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- And I got it right.- You've been...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I broadcast to the nation that I got it right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48You've been bounced out on the mat by Steve.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50So, come back to us.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52This is getting lively. We'll play on.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55So, as it stands,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Quiz Family Robinson have lost no brains from the final round.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59They're really storming ahead but be careful
0:10:59 > 0:11:03cos often at this point, the Eggheads suddenly gather themselves.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07The Eggheads have lost two brains. The next subject is Film & TV.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08- Good?- Well, we were going
0:11:08 > 0:11:10to put Steve in for that round,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13so we're going to have to change our plans now. OK.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Save yourself for the final round.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17THEY CONFER
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I'm not particularly good at Film & TV.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Right, are we going to send you in then?
0:11:22 > 0:11:23I'm not very good at Film & TV
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- but it looks like I'm going to be the one.- Yeah.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- OK. So, John, who's your father, James.- Yes. Indeed, yes.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30John, would you like to take on an Egghead?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Try Kevin. - Yes, I think we'll try Kevin.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33OK, is this the turning point?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Now, John, from Quiz Family Robinson, versus Kevin, from the Eggheads,
0:11:37 > 0:11:38on Film & TV.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Let's see if the Eggheads can pull one back.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47So, John, Film & TV against Kevin. Would you like to go first or second?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53And here is your question.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54In Only Fools And Horses,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58what name did Trigger often mistakenly call Rodney?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I'm not absolutely sure.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I've got a feeling it was Dave.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Yes, it's Dave.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Great show. OK, Kevin.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14When used in conjunction with music and film,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18the letters OST stand for Original WHAT?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25So, this would probably be relating to an album of music from a film,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27that sort of thing, so, soundtrack.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Soundtrack is correct.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31John, over to you.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34What was the title of the sequel to the Yul Brynner film Westworld,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36which was released in 1976
0:12:36 > 0:12:40and featured Brynner's gunslinger character in a cameo role?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I'm not absolutely sure. It's not my strongest subject.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Tomorrow's World I remember as a BBC television programme,
0:12:51 > 0:12:52if it's the same one.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'm not so sure about Another World.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I would guess Future World.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58And you've got it right - Futureworld.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Have you got a question wrong yet?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- No.- Nothing wrong yet.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Kevin, which English actor played the lead role
0:13:08 > 0:13:11of the body language scientist Cal Lightman
0:13:11 > 0:13:14in the US TV drama Lie To Me?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Hm, now, that's not one I'm aware of...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23..unfortunately.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I don't see it being Ray Winstone.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27As I say, I don't know it,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29so it could actually be either of the others.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34My first instinct was Gary Oldman but I'm...
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I have... No, it's 50-50.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40So, I'll stick with the first instinct and say Gary Oldman.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42OK. Gary Oldman is your answer. Eggheads?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- EGGHEADS:- Tim Roth.- Tim Roth.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I always get 50-50s wrong, or virtually always.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52Oh, a little rumble of anticipation. You mustn't let this chance go.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54So, John, get this right, you're in the final,
0:13:54 > 0:13:55you've knocked out Kevin.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59In 2010, Joanne Froggatt took on which role
0:13:59 > 0:14:01in the TV drama series Downton Abbey?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It's a very good question for me
0:14:07 > 0:14:10as I've never seen Downton Abbey at all.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15A choice of the three, I will say...Anna Smith.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Team-mates, is he right?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I don't know but I'm sure it's not Mary Crawley
0:14:20 > 0:14:22but I think it is Anna Smith.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23- It is Anna Smith, well done.- Yes!
0:14:23 > 0:14:26LAUGHTER
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Wow, you've got the rub of the green today.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Exact equivalent questions there and Kevin didn't go for Tim Roth
0:14:34 > 0:14:35and you did go for Anna Smith.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37So, there we go, there must be something in the air here.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Well done, John.- Thank you very much. - This is looking very impressive now.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Took on an Egghead. Not just an Egghead, THE Egghead.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44You've knocked out Kevin.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Please both of you return to us and we'll play on.- Oh, great.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Well, well, well.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Quiz Family Robinson have lost no brains,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55the Eggheads have lost three.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58One more round before the final and the subject - Politics.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- ALL:- Oh!- Right.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- So, Richard or James?- Are we going to change tactics or not?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I'd put you up for Politics,
0:15:07 > 0:15:08but I'm willing to keep him till the end.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- I'd be of the opinion you could go you versus Lisa.- Yes.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- All right? OK? - I don't know what...- OK.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Right, the captain's going in.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18All right, the captain is going in with his tin hat on, against...
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Did you say Lisa or...?- Have a West Yorkshire derby, I think.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24All right. So, James from Quiz Family Robinson versus Lisa.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26This is a big moment in the contest now.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Please go to our Question Room.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32So, Politics, James. Do you want to go first or second against Lisa?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Well, as my mum always says, go first.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And here is your first question.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42In January 2015, which comedian announced plans
0:15:42 > 0:15:46to stand against Nigel Farage in that year's general election?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53I believe he decided to do it under his guise of the Pub Landlord
0:15:53 > 0:15:55and it's Al Murray.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Al Murray is correct. Good stuff.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Still not got a question wrong, our Challengers.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Lisa, the left wing political party known as Syriza
0:16:04 > 0:16:07became the leading party in which European country
0:16:07 > 0:16:10after its January 2015 general election?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Syriza, led by Alexis Tsipras.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18They are the leading political party in Greece.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Greece is correct, Lisa. Well done.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21James, back to you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Which country is known by the nickname
0:16:23 > 0:16:25the Graveyard of Empires
0:16:25 > 0:16:27because of the number of failed invasions
0:16:27 > 0:16:29and occupations that have taken place there?
0:16:32 > 0:16:37I think it's had different invasions by the British and Soviets,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40amongst others. I think it's Afghanistan.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42It is Afghanistan. You're right.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Lisa, what does the G stand for in GOP,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53the abbreviation that is the nickname of the US Republican Party?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Goodness.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Um, you don't really associate green with the Republicans
0:17:01 > 0:17:03in any sense, do you?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I will go for grand.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Grand is correct. I think Grand Old Party.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yeah, grand is the right answer.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13OK, James, back to you. Third question.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Who was the first UK Chancellor to break with tradition
0:17:17 > 0:17:21and not use the red Gladstone dispatch box on Budget Day?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Right, let's see. Hmm.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I'm trying to think. I have a recollection of seeing
0:17:30 > 0:17:35an old clip of a Budget Day TV show on BBC
0:17:35 > 0:17:37and I think it was in the '80s,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40which would mean it was Geoffrey Howe,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42but I'm not sure yet. Hang on.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45This could be where our luck runs out. We'll see.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Oh, dear.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It was the first thought that came to my head, so it could be wrong.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53So, sorry, guys, for this, but I'm going to say Geoffrey Howe.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It's the first question you've got wrong.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- James Callaghan is the answer. - Fair enough.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02OK. So, may be a significant moment. If Lisa gets this right,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04she's in the final and the Eggheads will have two in the final round.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Here we go, Lisa. Which US president was known as the Great Communicator?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- And I know that.- Ah! Yes!
0:18:14 > 0:18:18And I know that and I can't remember.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I'm having a Ryan moment. I used to know this.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23JEREMY LAUGHS
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Um, I'd be inclined to rule out Reagan over Kennedy and Clinton.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- Um...I don't know. I will go for John F Kennedy.- Ooh.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36How interesting. I thought you'd just go straight there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- It's Ronald Reagan. - Yeah, didn't know that.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41So, two out of three for you both. We go to Sudden Death.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Bit of a let off there.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Maybe proves that your team's luck is in, James.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- You're still in it.- Let's hope so.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Here's your question.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Which Conservative politician is popularly known as IDS?
0:18:51 > 0:18:55That would be the leader between 2001 and 2003, Iain Duncan Smith.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Iain Duncan Smith it is. Well done.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Lisa, in 2010, who said he had more chance
0:19:02 > 0:19:05of being decapitated by a Frisbee than becoming prime minister?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I don't know. How very annoying.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Um...I really don't know.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I mean, I would love it to be Gordon Brown,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15but it doesn't sound like something that Gordon Brown would say.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17It could be BoJo or someone like that.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22No, I really, really don't know.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- So, sorry about this, Dave, mate. - Yeah.- I'll go for...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Could be Boris.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Let's assume that, you know, we're sort of in bat
0:19:33 > 0:19:35and Gordon Brown's realised what's about to happen to him
0:19:35 > 0:19:36and say Gordon Brown.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Yeah, I see what you're... You'll be annoyed when I tell you who it is.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41It's the most obvious answer.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42- Boris Johnson.- It is BoJo.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Didn't work. - So, Sudden Death, Lisa...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- That's all right. - ..and you died suddenly.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48And, James, you're in the final round.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I think I also read that Boris also said in that one
0:19:50 > 0:19:52that he said he also had more chance
0:19:52 > 0:19:54of being blinded by a champagne cork as well.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56HE LAUGHS James, you did well there.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Got the first wrong answer,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01but you stayed in and we now play the final round.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08It is time for our final round after quite a momentous game.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09It's General Knowledge,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:11 > 0:20:14won't be allowed to take part. Normally, I turn this side,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16but, actually, none of you is having to leave us.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Nobody from Quiz Family Robinson. It's all Eggheads leaving us.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Pat and Lisa and Kevin and Judith,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28So, James, John, Steve, Richard, Ryan,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30you've done something that's very rare
0:20:30 > 0:20:31in the history of Eggheads.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I think we've done about 1,500 programmes in total.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Only nine has this happened,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38where they've been reduced to one player.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- But of the nine, they won seven. - Ooh.- So, you're not there yet.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46If you do win, £13,000 on the table.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Dave, you are playing to protect the reputation
0:20:48 > 0:20:52of the four who have fallen and your own as well.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58You can confer.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- It doesn't help you much, my friend.- No.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02So, Quiz Family Robinson, the question is,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04can you, with your five brains,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06defeat this one with the tremendous knowledge?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08And do you want to go first or second?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Do you want to go first or second?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12We'll stick with the tried and tested format
0:21:12 > 0:21:14of going first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Well, all the best. It's been a fantastic game so far.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Let's see if you can win the £13,000. Here is your first question.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Still Standing: The Savage Years
0:21:24 > 0:21:28is a 2012 memoir by which performer and TV presenter?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35He was Lily Savage, wasn't he? So, I'm going to say Paul O'Grady.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Definitely.- All agree? - Are we agreed on that?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- So, Paul O'Grady was Lily Savage? - Paul O'Grady.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Yeah, he was. Yeah. Yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We're going to go with Paul O'Grady, Jeremy.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Paul O'Grady is quite right.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Well done. Lily Savage, as you say. Lovely guy.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Dave, the Sussex town of Hove
0:21:51 > 0:21:54lies to the west of which larger town
0:21:54 > 0:21:57with which it forms a city and unitary authority?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Um, that's Brighton and Hove. Brighton.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Brighton is right, Dave. Well done.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09How is it, playing on your own there?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Well, it's a unique experience, but, you know, let's see how it goes.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16It will just come down to how the questions fall,
0:22:16 > 0:22:17at the end of the day.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It might come down to their superior knowledge.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21You never know. HE CHUCKLES
0:22:21 > 0:22:25OK, Challengers, Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando
0:22:25 > 0:22:28have both won Oscars for playing which character?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Is that Corleone?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38I think it was Corleone cos they've both been in The Godfathers.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Yeah? Corleone? They're both Godfathers.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I can't see any other answer.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- If we're all thinking... - Corleone?- Yes, OK.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Team decision - Vito Corleone.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51And the team decision is quite right. Vito Corleone it is. Well done.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Two out of two. Dave, onto you.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55What is the capital, Dave, of Togo?
0:22:58 > 0:23:03I think Lusaka's Zambia. Ljubljana's Slovenia, I hope.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Lome's Togo, anyway.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Lome is, indeed, the capital of Togo. Well done.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11And you're absolutely right about the other two as well.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13OK, third question.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Bhumibol Adulyadej was formally crowned king
0:23:17 > 0:23:19of which country in 1950?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Shall we get a spelling on that? - Spell, yes.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27First name, it's not quite what you'd expect.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30B-H-U-M-I-B-O-L. Bhumibol.
0:23:30 > 0:23:36And then Adulyadej - A-D-U-L-Y-A-D-E-J.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- It's Thailand.- Yeah? - He's the guy who wears the pink.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41He was in the hospital a few years ago.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44He was all dressed in pink and everyone wore pink in Thailand.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Right.- And he's very, very old.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I'd have gone for Thailand, but I didn't know it.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50When I heard the spelling of the name, definitely.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Yes, Thailand. - Right, we'll go with James.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55We're going to go for Thailand, Jeremy.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Thailand is correct. THEY CHEER
0:23:57 > 0:24:00So, in the whole game so far, you've only had one wrong answer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- I can't even remember what it was now.- The...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Oh, James Callaghan. - James Callaghan with the Budget Box.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Phew! So, three out of three. £13,000, they're playing for.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10If Dave gets this one wrong, they've taken the contest
0:24:10 > 0:24:12and probably overwhelmed the Eggheads.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14IF Dave gets it wrong. He's not got it wrong yet.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Who played the role of George Smiley's nemesis Karla
0:24:18 > 0:24:21in the TV series Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
0:24:21 > 0:24:23and Smiley's People?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Right, um, I'm not sure of this at all.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I'm going to put myself out of my misery.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37I'm not going to go for Donald Sinden.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I'm not going to go for Ian McKellen.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I'm going to go down the middle for Patrick Stewart.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45OK, if you've got this wrong, then the contest is over
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and they've taken the £13,000.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49But it's not over. You've got it right.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Well done. Patrick Stewart it is. Your team-mates behind you...
0:24:52 > 0:24:53It's such an unusual situation.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Your team-mates behind you are cheering you on. Lisa especially.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Dave has got three out of three as well. We go to Sudden Death.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03£13,000, we're playing for and I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09MAL is the international car registration mark
0:25:09 > 0:25:10for which country?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Well, it's a toss up between two, isn't it?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Malta or Malaysia.- Or Mali.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- Oh, didn't think of that. - I think Malaysia's MAS.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- My first thought was Malta. - Oh, dear.- Could be any of those.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28I'm pretty sure it's not Malaysia, so we'll rule Malaysia out.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Playing the question, it possibly is Malta,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- if you think Malaysia isn't the answer.- I'm sure...
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I would think Malaysia is MAS.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Do you think there's any logic or way
0:25:37 > 0:25:38that when they assign these,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41they start with maybe European-centric ones,
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- so Malta would then take up MAL? - That's what I was thinking.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48That is one thing I did wonder about.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Shall we all vote, then? OK, so, who says Malta?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55That's unanimous. On our heads be it, guys.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- So, we agreed Malta, then?- Yeah.- OK.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01We're going to go for Malta.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04This is an incredible contest, I must say.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07The ninth time we've been down to one Egghead.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09You've only had one question wrong so far.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13MAL, the international car registration mark.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15You're wrong.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- It's Malaysia.- Oh, no! Sorry, team.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22No, that's fine. Unanimous.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25You did rule it out quite firmly. If there's any consolation,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27it wasn't a three-two split or anything.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- You were absolutely certain... - Yeah.- ..it was Malta.- Yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32That was my fault, though.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34So, only the ninth time the Eggheads have been down to one.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I did mention the slightly worrying statistic
0:26:37 > 0:26:40that they only ever lost two from this position,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43but they now have a chance to win with just Dave here.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47With this one question, the Eggheads can suddenly snatch it away.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Dave, here's your question. Take your time.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52What is the German name for the state of Bavaria?
0:26:54 > 0:26:59Right. I've got a word in my head, so I've just got to quantify it.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Right. I can't really.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'm going to outthink myself if I go on.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I'm going to go for the word Bayern.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Bayern.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14So, if you've got it right, Dave, the contest is over
0:27:14 > 0:27:16and the Eggheads have won against all the odds
0:27:16 > 0:27:19and the jackpot is snatched away from our Challengers.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21If you've got it wrong, we play on in Sudden Death.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- It's a brutal contest, this. - Mm-hm.- On this occasion...
0:27:26 > 0:27:29..the Eggheads have been up against it, but have won.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Bayern is the answer. We say congratulations, Dave.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- The triumph is yours. - Well played. What a game.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Wow!
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I thought you'd get that cos of football,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44but you had some tough ones on the way there
0:27:44 > 0:27:46with no-one to confer with, so, really well done.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48No, but what a contest and what a great team.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- One of the best teams we've played. - Probably one of the best contests
0:27:51 > 0:27:54in the history of Eggheads. No question. Just for sheer...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56There was no way of knowing who was going to win
0:27:56 > 0:27:57and you played brilliantly.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00I'm sorry the jackpot isn't yours, but I was going to say it's a detail.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01I'm sure it's not.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03But you played brilliantly.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Commiserations to Quiz Family Robinson.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07What a great show that was.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Your winning streak continues. I think we can still say that.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16It does mean our Challengers won't be going home with the £13,000,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23If you can win with one left, who will beat you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25And, Dave, very impressive by you.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27You showed tremendous knowledge there.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:30 > 0:28:33can do what they did or maybe even slightly more.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Doesn't happen very often, does it? Till then, goodbye.
