0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads!
0:00:32 > 0:00:33And, as my mum always used to say,
0:00:33 > 0:00:35you have been in the wars a bit, haven't you?
0:00:35 > 0:00:36- ALL:- Yes.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- Last game? ALL:- Yes - Then you came through.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40So let's see what happens now.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:43 > 0:00:44are Adam's Ants.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Now this team of colleagues all work together
0:00:46 > 0:00:49at Dumfries House, a country house and estate in East Ayrshire,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51which is open to the public.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53They take their team name from Robert Adam,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55the architect who designed the house.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Let's meet them.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Alex and I'm a head tour guide.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, my name is Gail and I'm a senior tour guide.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Oliver and I'm an estate manager.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Hello, I'm Una and I'm a tour guide.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hello, my name's Robert and I'm a finance director.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- So Alex's team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Tell us about Dumfries House.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20It's an 18th-century house designed by Robert Adam with his brothers,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22a noted collection of furniture inside,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25mainly by Thomas Chippendale.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- We have maybe 10% of the authenticated Chippendale...- Really?
0:01:28 > 0:01:29..pieces in the world.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Wardrobes and chairs and tables? - All sorts of things.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Wow!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I had a look around and had a wee look at the antiques
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- and brought some along today. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:38 > 0:01:40And Adam's Ants because of Robert Adam,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43who you've mentioned who designed the place?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45That's right and then the industrious work
0:01:45 > 0:01:46that we all do inside the house.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48All right, good luck doing some industrious work here.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:51 > 0:01:52for our Challengers.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54However if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59There's no real way of describing the last contest,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02except to say the jackpot was not won by a very brilliant team.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Adam's Ants, the Eggheads have won the last 13 games,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09so the jackpot is £14,000.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Are you ready to play for it?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12- ALL:- Yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16OK. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Who would like this?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- It's me, isn't it?- Yep.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20- Oliver?- That's me.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And which Egghead would you like to play? You can have any of them.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26We don't really know what Lisa's like at Geography, do we?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- We don't know. - Shall we try Lisa at Geography?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29- Yeah.- Good idea.- Let's do that.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32They're stumbling on a possible area of weakness,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34depending on how we're feeling today.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36It's not a possible area of weakness, Jeremy,
0:02:36 > 0:02:37that's awfully kind of you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39We'll see what happens in the booth.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oliver from Adam's Ants, Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44please go to our Question Room now.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48So Geography, Oliver, and your choice,
0:02:48 > 0:02:49would you like to go first or second?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Here is your first question, good luck.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59In terms of area, which of these seas is the smallest?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Well, I'm going to rule out South China Sea straightaway
0:03:07 > 0:03:10cos that's quite a big, old sea
0:03:10 > 0:03:11down that way.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Um...
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Now, the Med is quite narrow
0:03:16 > 0:03:18but it does kind of go on for quite a while
0:03:18 > 0:03:22and the North Sea is stuck in-between just Britain
0:03:22 > 0:03:25and Scandinavia, so I'm going to go...
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'm going to go for the North Sea.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29North Sea is the right answer, well done.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Good logic.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32OK, Lisa, your question.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Ballybunion - all one word -
0:03:34 > 0:03:36is a seaside town in which country?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Ballybunion.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44The Ballys all tend to hang out in Ireland, don't they?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Bally this and Bally the thing.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Ballykissangel on the telly.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Um, we'll go for Ireland.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Ireland is the right answer, well done.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54OK, Ireland is the answer.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Back to you, Oliver.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Which US state is sometimes called the Great Lake state?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Mm, I'm going to rule out Maine.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I think Maine is further east.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Minnesota's not too far away.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Um...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Lake Michigan is obviously one of the Lakes,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17so I'm going to go down the middle and say, Michigan.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Michigan is quite right. Yeah.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Does that mean, Eggheads, that there's more than Michigan
0:04:23 > 0:04:25in Michigan - other lakes as well?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Yeah, yeah, because most of Michigan...
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Well, it is, a peninsula.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Yeah.- So there are about three other lakes that touch Michigan.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Ah. Lisa, your question.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Surfers Paradise is a popular resort in which Australian state?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44We always love to do you an Australia question.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I love that you're laughing, yes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Thank you so much for laughing.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I'm going to quietly discount Tasmania.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Um...
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Now I wonder if this is... If I can go on the logic
0:04:55 > 0:05:00that Bondi Beach being close to Sydney is a big surfing district
0:05:00 > 0:05:04and just say it's sort of an extension of that.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I haven't got any better logic to go on than that,
0:05:06 > 0:05:07so I'll say New South Wales
0:05:07 > 0:05:10on the proviso this is Australian geography and it's probably wrong.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Oliver, you know that part of the world? What do you think?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14I'm pretty sure it's Queensland.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17You are right, it is Queensland. You got it wrong, Lisa.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Of course! It's Australian geography.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20It's Australian geography!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Every time.- I know.- So funny.- I know.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25OK, Oliver, your question.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28For the round - in which European capital would you find
0:05:28 > 0:05:32the official presidential residence, the Hofburg Palace?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Right, well...
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It's a German-sounding name.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I'm going to rule out Prague on that basis.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Bern, being in Switzerland, has both Swiss, I mean German
0:05:47 > 0:05:50and French things.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53But Vienna being mainly German orientated,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56being in Austria, I'm going to say Vienna.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Hofburg Palace in Austria - Vienna's the right answer.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Well done, you've taken the round. First blood to our Challengers here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Lisa's been knocked out.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Please come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10A good start for Adam's Ants.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12You've made them stand and deliver!
0:06:12 > 0:06:13THEY CHUCKLE
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Oh...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16So they've lost... I love the groan.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18They're already in a bad mood.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I'm not upset, Jeremy, ridicule is nothing to be scared of.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Yeah, very good.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Lost no brains, the Challengers.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Eggheads have lost one.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Lisa's gone. So what's happening next?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Music is the answer.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Who would like Music? - Alex, I think that's mine.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Alex, OK. Against which Egghead, Alex?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38My aunt in Fareham said I had to take on either Kevin or Barry.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Barry's not here.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Um, I think that means Kevin.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I think it really does, logically speaking.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46So from Adam's Ants, it's Alex,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and it's Alex against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50The subject is Music.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Please take your positions.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57So your nickname in quizzes, Alex, is Shazam. Tell us why?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Well, we had a quiz night at Dumfries House
0:07:00 > 0:07:02a couple of years ago.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06One of the rounds was a music round, it was an intro round
0:07:06 > 0:07:10and it seemed to be after a very brief snatch of music
0:07:10 > 0:07:14I tended to get the answer correctly and one of the guys on the team
0:07:14 > 0:07:16started to call me Shazam since then.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Shazam is one of these things you get on your phone
0:07:18 > 0:07:20and you hold it up and it tells you what a track is.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- It does, that's right. - You are a human version of it.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- THEY ALL CHUCKLE - Well, we'll see.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27It won't help me much in this round, I don't think.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Let's see how you do against Kevin.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Alex, you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38And here is your first question.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Which US city is often referred to as the birthplace of jazz?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Ah...- Hang on.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Is it... That's you doing your Shazam there?
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Is it...
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Well, Nashville would be the home of country music.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Miami might be more up tempo, contemporary stuff.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's New Orleans, I would say.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02New Orleans is the right answer, yes, well done.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04An amazing place to go.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Kevin. A sestet is a musical composition for how many performers?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11It's S-E-S-T-E-T.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18That's well, part of the various small ensembles,
0:08:18 > 0:08:19it's six.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Quartet, quintet, sestet.- Yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Then septet.- Septet. - For seven, and so on. Octet.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Yes. You can stop there.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Exactly, yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Six is the right answer.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Alex.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Which musician, composer and arranger was a producer
0:08:37 > 0:08:41on Michael Jackson's best-selling album, Thriller?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Well, Phil Spector I wouldn't associated with that type of music.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Brian Eno, experimental stuff, ambient house.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I would say, Quincy Jones.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Definitely Quincy Jones.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Well done.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Kevin, your question.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Urban Hymns was a best-selling
0:09:01 > 0:09:041997 album by which band?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10It's not Oasis.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I was just...
0:09:13 > 0:09:14I was just thinking,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17"I hope The Verve and Pulp don't both come up."
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Um...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25But my first thought was The Verve, so The Verve.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Lisa knows this.- It is The Verve.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30The Verve is right. She would have been so upset if you got...
0:09:30 > 0:09:32You wouldn't have been able to come back here
0:09:32 > 0:09:34if you got Pulp and The Verve confused.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- It's quite a serious issue for Lisa, yeah.- Fair enough.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38You're equal - two each.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Here we go Alex with your question.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Wanted On Voyage was a 2014 album by which singer?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I don't know that one.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52It's not familiar to me.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It would have to be a guess.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56And...
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I would say, George Ezra.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02George Ezra's the right answer, good play.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Three out of three.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Have you guys even got a question wrong yet? No.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07OK, Kevin, your third question.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09If you get this wrong, we know what happens.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Which composer was known to his friends as Little Mushroom
0:10:13 > 0:10:14due to his lack of height?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I don't think I've ever heard that.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23On the basis that...
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'd say I don't know how tall any of these guys were,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27so it may be completely off beam.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31On the basis that Schubert was a fairly gregarious character
0:10:31 > 0:10:33and had a circle of friends
0:10:33 > 0:10:37and was quite convivial, I'll try Schubert.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- You could tell me all of their birth years, couldn't you?- Yeah.- Go on.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Rachmaninoff?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43- 1873.- Prokofiev?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- 1891.- Schubert?
0:10:45 > 0:10:461797.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I wish I could give you a point for that.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- You have got it right, though.- Mm.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Well done, Schubert it is.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Whoo! That's Kevin.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59OK, so three out of three.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02We go to Sudden Death,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04it gets harder now, Alex, OK? I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06In the early 1990s,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Marcella Detroit was half of which musical duo?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I do know this, or I should know it.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17She was in a duo with one of the girls from Bananarama.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I think they had both been in the, um...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Och, we spoke about this at the big house a couple of weeks ago.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Um, but the name of the duo
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I will kick myself, if and when you tell me,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Marcella Detroit and...
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Was it Siobhan Fahey?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I think it's two words.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- I will pass, I'm afraid. - OK, I've taken the pass.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Your colleagues know.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45We talked about this in the car on the way up.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's Shakespears Sister.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48- Shakespears Sister.- Oh!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50And it was funny as you'd got...
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I absolutely thought you were just going to
0:11:53 > 0:11:55knock it out, no problem, because you had Siobhan Fahey
0:11:55 > 0:11:57and you had the two words.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Oh, I'm sorry about that.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02OK, so Kevin has a chance to take the round and level things up.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05According to the opening line of a 2005 UK hit single
0:12:05 > 0:12:10for Katie Melua, there are nine million bicycles in which city?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Beijing.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Beijing is the right answer. You've taken it on Sudden Death.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Sorry, Alex, you've been knocked out.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18The Challengers have just lost their skipper.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20It's even and it's exciting.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Come back to us, rejoin your teams, we'll play the next round.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28As it stands, Adam's Ants have lost one brain from the Final Round.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31They lost the captain. The Eggheads have also lost a brain.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Very even, good contest.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34The next subject is Sport.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I was going to do it.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- That'll be me.- You choose.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42OK, Robert, against which Egghead?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45It's got to be Judith. Traditionally it's Judith for Sport,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48so I'm not going to break with tradition. Sorry, Judith.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50It has moved off Judith a little bit recently.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- It's becoming traditional for Chris. - Shut up!
0:12:54 > 0:12:55THEY LAUGH
0:12:55 > 0:12:58So Robert from Adam's Ants versus Judith from the Eggheads
0:12:58 > 0:13:00and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- So, Robert, you're a fan of St Mirren?- Yes, indeed.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09And you've got a programme signed by Alex Ferguson,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11was that while he was manager?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14While he was manager. He was manager of St Mirren for a period
0:13:14 > 0:13:17of about three years and I just happen to be passing
0:13:17 > 0:13:21the rear of the grandstand when he came out for a breath of fresh air
0:13:21 > 0:13:25and I managed to get his autograph before he became famous.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Wonderful. So would you like to go first or second on Sport?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I think I'll go second.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I'm sorry you're back on Sport, Judith.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Well, that's life, isn't it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42We were pretending you were really good at it and that was working.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43- Oh...- Here's your question.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Which of these sports is played on a court
0:13:45 > 0:13:47with the largest surface area?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Well, table tennis is on a table, so that rules that out.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56You said the largest area, didn't you?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Largest.- And badminton is also...
0:13:58 > 0:14:00You can play badminton indoors, I think.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Actually, you do play it indoors, don't you?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04So, um, tennis.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Tennis is right. Well done, Judith.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Over to you, Robert.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11In Boxing, what is different about a southpaw fighter?
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Um...
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I'm going to rule out they've never been knocked down
0:14:21 > 0:14:24because I don't know of any boxer that's never been knocked down.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So we're down to two.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31A southpaw, I believe, is a person who leads with their right hand.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33They lead with their right hand, you're right.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Meaning, their big punch is with their left, yeah.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Judith, here's your question.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Harry Redknapp resigned
0:14:39 > 0:14:43as the manager of which football club in February 2015?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48He was manager of Portsmouth
0:14:48 > 0:14:50but that was some time ago.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Um, I think it's West Ham.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53No.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- No.- It's not Queens Park Rangers.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- Yes, QPR.- Oh!- Portsmouth, you did have the connection there.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00He's managed all of them, has he?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- He has, yeah.- Yeah. - Managed all three.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Queens Park Rangers.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Oh...- I thought I knew that. Oh!
0:15:06 > 0:15:08OK, Robert, your question.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10The flat racing classics
0:15:10 > 0:15:13known as the 1,000 Guineas and the 2,000 Guineas
0:15:13 > 0:15:16are traditionally raced on which course?
0:15:20 > 0:15:25I have to say that horse racing is not my strong suit within Sport.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28But I think...
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I think the answer to this is Newmarket.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Is he right, Judith?- Yes.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Yeah, I know you know your horse racing. Newmarket is correct.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40So Robert has two. Judith, you have one.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- That means you're a little bit on the brink here.- Yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Which of these UK sportsmen
0:15:44 > 0:15:50was one of Europe's leading table tennis players in the 1980s?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I have absolutely no idea.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I wouldn't have known it if he was champion last year.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I don't know.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Um, go down the magic right, Peter Elliott.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Desmond Douglas was the one. He was quite famous, actually.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10We didn't have any other table tennis players.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I'm sorry about the way this is turning out, Judith.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- Never mind.- You've been knocked out on Sport. Robert, well done.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18You're in the Final Round, that's great for your team.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20You've got the edge now.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Come back and we'll play the next round.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26As it stands, Adam's Ants have lost one
0:16:26 > 0:16:28and the Eggheads have lost two brains,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30and we move on with History.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Who would like History? Last round before the final.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Do you want me to take it because you'll be better in the Final Round?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Do you think?- Sacrificial.- Ah-ha.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40You're not sacrificial, not at all.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Una's going to get this.- Yeah?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Yeah, I'll take History.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Una on History and you can have either Dave or Chris.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- I think I'll take Dave, please, if I may.- Yes, you may.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56So Una from Adam's Ants and Dave from the Eggheads.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03History, Una, I'm thinking as you're a tour guide
0:17:03 > 0:17:05in this wonderful house, it'll be brilliant for you,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07so would you like to go first or second?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I shall go first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Here is your first question, good luck.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19Which of these historic civilisations was based in what is now Mexico?
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Well, Aztecs were South American,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30as are the Incas.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32To be honest, I've never heard of Numidia.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Oh, dear...
0:17:35 > 0:17:36I think...
0:17:36 > 0:17:40I'm going to say the Aztecs.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Team-mates, is she right?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- She is.- You are right.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Oh, thank heavens for that.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46It was a bit of a stinker, that.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- I guess Incas, Peru, is that right? - Yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Incas are Peru.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Seeing them both there is awkward.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Dave, your question.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Which Greek king died at the Battle of Thermopylae
0:17:57 > 0:17:59in 480 BC?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'm going to rule out Pericles.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07This is a bad one for me.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10It's terrible.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Er...
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I'll have to go Themistocles but I've not got an idea.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Themistocles.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Themistocles. Una, do you know?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I don't know for sure but I think I would have gone Leonidas.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27You're right, actually, it is Leonidas.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Sorry, Dave, you've got it wrong. - Yes, I did.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33OK, Una, so you've got a bit of an advantage here.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35In which year was Abraham Lincoln born?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I'm going to say 1809.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46You're absolutely right, well done, 1809.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- OK, Dave, this is pressure, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Hengist and Horsa, who are believed to have arrived in Britain
0:18:52 > 0:18:56to help fight the Picts in the 5th century AD
0:18:56 > 0:18:58were members of which people?
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Hengist and Horsa.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I don't think they're Vikings or Jutes, I think they're Visigoths.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- So you're gone straight for Visigoths?- Yes.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- They were actually Jutes. - Oh, right!
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- You're knocked out.- Oh, ho!
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- What a great History round that was! - 2-0.- Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So, um, Una...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20you didn't need to worry, you're in the final.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Very much by default, I think. - Not at all.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Come back to us and we will play the Final Round
0:19:26 > 0:19:28for £14,000.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Well, another lively contest today.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33This is what we have been playing towards,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36it is time for the Final Round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:39 > 0:19:40won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43So that's Alex from Adam's Ants
0:19:43 > 0:19:44but quite a lot of Eggheads are going -
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Lisa, Dave and Judith.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I need to ask you to leave the studio.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55So Gail, Oliver, Una and Robert, you played really well so far
0:19:55 > 0:19:58and you're now playing to win £14,000 for Adam's Ants.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Kevin and Chris, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Battered and bruised, the last couple of games, but can you win through?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13You are allowed to confer.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16So, Adam's Ants, the question is are your four brains
0:20:16 > 0:20:18better than the Eggheads' two?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Gail, Oliver, Una, Robert - do you want to go first or second?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23We'll go first, thank you, Jeremy.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29OK, Gail and team, here we go. First question.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Which writer popularised the stories of Br'er Rabbit
0:20:32 > 0:20:34in his Uncle Remus tales?
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Do you know this?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I think... Was it Mark Twain?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46You think it's Mark Twain.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Songs Of The South, and everything like that.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51My gut instinct was Joel Chandler Harris, but I don't want to...
0:20:51 > 0:20:54No, your gut instinct is probably better than mine.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- What do you think, Robert? - I... That's what I would go with.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- So we're 2-2 on this.- 2-2.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Let's say... How confident are you?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Not at all.- Not at all either. - How confident are you on Harris?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- I'm more confident about Harris than Twain.- Same with me, but...- OK.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- So shall we go with that? Go for that, guys?- Yeah.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Right. Our answer, Jeremy...
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Joel Chandler Harris.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Joel Chandler Harris. Democracy in action there.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23You started off just going to plump straight for Mark Twain.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24- Have they got it right?- Yeah.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Yes, you got it right. Well done!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Thank you, Robert. - That was impressive.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Quite often, people get locked into the wrong idea.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33You did very well to do your handbrake turn there.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34OK. Your question, Eggheads.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38In Greek mythology, who was the father of Theseus?
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- It's not Heracles.- No. Peleus and Theseus and Achilles was there.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Achilles was not related as such to Theseus.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57And it's definitely not Heracles. So...
0:21:57 > 0:21:58I think it's got to be Aegeus.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Aegeus, yeah. Yeah.- OK.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Er, it's Aegeus, Jeremy.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Your answer is Aegeus.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- An uncertain answer. Or...?- Ish.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11But I'm reasonably...
0:22:11 > 0:22:13The more I think about it,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16the more I am reasonably sure that Peleus was the father of Achilles.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20So... And it's definitely not Heracles, so...
0:22:20 > 0:22:21That does tend to lead to Aegeus.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Aegeus is the right answer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25So one each.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Both of the teams almost coming undone on the first question.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Here is your second question.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33The island of Aruba is a self-governing part
0:22:33 > 0:22:35of which European country?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Gut feeling?- Netherlands. - That's what I thought.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Definitely. It's next to St Martin.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Is it next to St Martin? - Yeah.- Our answer is the Netherlands.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48The Netherlands is correct.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Eggheads,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51which country elected to entirely remove
0:22:51 > 0:22:54the 30th of December 2011 from their calendars
0:22:54 > 0:22:56in a bid to boost their economy?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Samoa. It's Samoa, isn't it? To shift the date line.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Yeah. It was, yeah.- It was actually to shift themselves
0:23:05 > 0:23:08from one side to the other of the International Date Line. It's Samoa.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Seems radical, doesn't it?- Mm.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Samoa is the right answer. OK.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Third question to you. Two points each.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17This one can be crucial.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Which of these writers went to jail for six months
0:23:19 > 0:23:25in 1951 for refusing to name names during the McCarthy witch hunts?
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- Guys...- Any clues?- I don't think it would be Chandler, but I don't know.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Robert? Any particular thoughts on this one?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- I would be surprised if it was Raymond Chandler.- Yeah.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- If it was him, I would be surprised. - James M Cain?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- James M Cain sounds like a writer. I mean...- It does, yeah.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Having said that, like, it's a strange one
0:23:49 > 0:23:52to put in Dashiell Hammett if it wasn't Dashiell Hammett.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I know that's a weird way of saying it,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58but why would they have put in Dashiell Hammett for the sake of it?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01He might have been a writer at the same time. Probably was.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I don't know. That's kind of the one I'm thinking.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07What sort of books did James M Cain write?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- What sort of stuff did he write? - Not an author I know. At all.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16- I think it's modern-day crime. - The name is familiar.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Sounds like a James M Cain...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Down the middle, Oliver, as you suggest?- Dashiell Hammett.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- Let's do it.- We've got nothing concrete to go on, really, have we?
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Well, Jeremy, he was my gran's favourite author...
0:24:29 > 0:24:33So we don't really know, but we are going to say Dashiell Hammett.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Well, he is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Dashiell Hammett is the right answer. - Thank you, Gran.- Thank you, Gran!
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Three out of three.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42£14,000 you're playing for.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Eggheads need to get this one right to stay in.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47The footballer Ali Daei
0:24:47 > 0:24:51scored a record 109 goals for which country?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Iran.- Iran?- Iran.- Definitely? Oh, right, OK.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Well, you'd know. I wouldn't.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03It's Iran, Jeremy.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04You went straight there.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Iran is the right answer.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09You've got three out of three, both teams. So it couldn't be tighter.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12£14,000. A substantial jackpot. It goes to Sudden Death.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Couldn't be more exciting, could it?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18It gets more tricky, cos I don't give you alternatives now.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Which leading American-born dancer was killed in 1927
0:25:22 > 0:25:26when her scarf became entangled with the rear wheel of a car?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Isadora Duncan.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Isadora Duncan is right. Well done.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Eggheads, the Brooklyn Bridge spans which river?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- It's the East River, isn't it? - Between Manhattan and...- Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The Hudson on the west side and the East River on the east side.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Goes across to Brooklyn. Yeah. It's the East River, Jeremy.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49The East River is correct. In New York.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Back to you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54In which country did Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie marry in 2014?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57It was Italy or France.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Was it near one of the lakes? No?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04I seem to remember reading something that they'd hired a place in...
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Oh, God, was it in France or was it Italy?- Robert, anything?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08No.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Gail, anything?- I would say Italy out of the two, but I don't know.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15On the basis of that's the country I would pick to get married in...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17If I was getting married again, I would say Italy.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- Una, are you happy with that? You're thinking France.- I can't think.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26I can't get the reason why I'm thinking France, though.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Or where it was. So...
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I'm not sure.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33You're really not sure.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38Sounds like the swingometer is going a bit towards Italy.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- We shall say Italy.- OK.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43It's France. You got it wrong.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Oh, Una. Sorry.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- That's OK.- I was listening carefully. You didn't have a...
0:26:48 > 0:26:52If you just had a little bit more there, you would have swung it. OK.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54It's not over. It's Sudden Death.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It could end suddenly now,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58with this question to the Eggheads.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Bang Bang was a 2014 UK hit single
0:27:02 > 0:27:06for Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande and which British singer?
0:27:07 > 0:27:13- Hm.- I think... Well, my first thought was Jessie J.- Yeah.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Rita Ora would be another candidate, I think.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19No, I think it's Jessie J. I may be wrong. I may be wrong.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- Well, if it's wrong, we're still... - Yeah.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25We think it's Jessie J, Jeremy.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30Jessie J is your answer. Just looking at the Eggheads behind you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Lisa knows this. And she looks happy.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33And the answer is Jessie J.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won!
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Well, you were winkling out your answers very well there.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Very interesting process of... - We should have listened to Una.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52The democratic weighting was going on. Yeah. Well, well done.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Well played. My goodness, you have taken them right to the edge.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- And you enjoy a good quiz. - We certainly do.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00So commiserations to Adam's Ants.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.- After a fashion.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Breaking into a sweat occasionally, the last couple of games.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10This winning streak continues. It's getting impressive, Eggheads.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12It does mean you won't be going home with the £14,000.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14So the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Eggheads, my, oh, my - three gone, but you two here, enough to triumph.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I wonder if you will ever be beaten.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:24 > 0:28:26can push them this close or even further.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30£15,000 says they can't. Until then, goodbye.
