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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are Bob's Buddies.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Now, this team of friends are all associated with the charity
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Best Buddies UK. Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hello, I'm Bob, and I'm a social entrepreneur.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hello, I'm Dominic, and I'm a community development manager.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Estelle, and I'm a business development manager.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Bernard, and I'm a retired quality assurance manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Philip, and I'm the director of a community enterprise.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- So, Bob, team, welcome. Great to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03And tell us about Best Buddies.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Well, Best Buddies is an organisation that we
0:01:06 > 0:01:10and a number of other social entrepreneurs and social workers
0:01:10 > 0:01:15put together because, in the UK, we concentrate on services so much.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17We think about people who need social support,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21in terms of the services they receive, the amount that governments
0:01:21 > 0:01:22and local governments spend.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26And actually, when you talk to people, what they need is friends.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And what they need is relationships and social capital.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32So it is a way of getting them a visit, or just a relationship?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Well, essentially, what we're trying to do is build
0:01:35 > 0:01:37real relationships and get people to understand that
0:01:37 > 0:01:41people in social need are just people, and they've got lots
0:01:41 > 0:01:44and lots to offer, and friendship with somebody with a disability
0:01:44 > 0:01:47or mental health problem, or someone who is very elderly
0:01:47 > 0:01:50and frail can be a really, really rewarding thing to get involved in.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52And it is something we used to do naturally.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56We used to do it naturally, and then we've sort of outsourced it
0:01:56 > 0:01:57to the professionals.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01To the state, yeah. OK, well, I hope you do very well today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Up against these five...
0:02:02 > 0:02:04terrifying creatures.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:06 > 0:02:09for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So, Bob's Buddies, the Eggheads are doing really, really well.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17They've won the last 15 games.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Bad news in that they are very confident.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Good news in that it means £16,000 is on the table today for you to win.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Excellent.- Would you like to crack on?- Yes, please.- All right.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- So who would like this? - OK. And who has got Politics?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Bob's got Politics.- But also you.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38You have Politics, Bernard.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I think we agree that if it was between us, you would go. Yes?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45OK, Bernard. On Politics. Against which Egghead?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Barry, perhaps. - What do you think?- Barry.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Could we go with Barry? - You can indeed.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I think Barry likes his politics. He likes most subjects, actually.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57So, Bernard from Bob's Buddies and... Oh, this is going to be interesting alliteration.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Bernard from Bob's Buddies, and Barry...from the Eggheads,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02please go to our Question Room now.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- So, Bernard, I gather you are a performance poet.- I am.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I do my best, Jeremy. I...
0:03:11 > 0:03:16I perform every month or so at a local pub.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18And I...
0:03:18 > 0:03:22I have entered various competitions and been lucky enough
0:03:22 > 0:03:26to get through to the finals in various poetry competitions.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I've never actually won one.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30The last thing I got through to the final was the
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- All Wales Comic Verse Competition. - A-ha.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Sweetly, they've asked me to be a judge.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38So obviously they've realised that I'm never going to win it,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40but I might be able to judge it.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43And I went to a performance poetry thing a while back
0:03:43 > 0:03:47and I realised it is a whole new area of... A, it has got to be written
0:03:47 > 0:03:50by you, it's got to be personal, and it's got to be really belted out.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Absolutely, absolutely.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I don't actually like the performing bit, I prefer the writing bit.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59But there's a whole scene out there, and if you're going to write
0:03:59 > 0:04:01poetry and get noticed, you have to perform, really.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I'm trying to imagine you as a performance poet, Barry.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I'm struggling a bit at the moment.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09On stage and just really going for it.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Maybe even taking your glasses off.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Maybe.- OK, so we are on Politics here, Bernard.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16And would you like to go first or second?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I would like to go first, Jeremy, if I may.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Here we go, Bernard, your first question.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Which of these countries has both a president and a prime minister?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I think that the answer is France, Jeremy.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37The answer is France, well done. Barry, your question.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39What is the name of the official residence of the
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Speaker of the House of Commons?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48In the all the years I've been interested in politics, I've
0:04:48 > 0:04:50never heard this term.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52The Speaker is the Speaker of the House,
0:04:52 > 0:04:56so I really don't know, but I'll have to go for Speaker's House.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Yes, I'm not sure the logic was right there.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02It could be any of those three, but you are right. Speaker's House it is.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Very fortunate.- Speaker's House is right. Back to you Bernard.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10What is the English name of the Japanese parliament?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Is it...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I don't think it is the Knesset.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24I think, er, I would go with...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Diet.- "Dee-et" or "die-et".
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Diet.- Barry will know this. Barry.- It is indeed.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33The Storting is Norway, and the Knesset of course is Israel.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36That's the correct answer, Bernard, well done. Back to you, Barry.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39How many days does the House of Commons traditional summer
0:05:39 > 0:05:41recess officially last?
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Well, let's see, 26 is just under a month, 46, a month and a half.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52A month seems...
0:05:52 > 0:05:57A month seems too short. 76 is obviously too long.
0:05:57 > 0:06:0146, that's getting on for a month and a half.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04All of August and a bit more...
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I think it is 46 days.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08JEREMY LAUGHS
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- You are going to be surprised when I tell you.- Is it 76?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- It is.- Oh, I would have never thought that!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15JEREMY LAUGHS
0:06:15 > 0:06:16More than two months.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Of course, they do claim to be working throughout that
0:06:19 > 0:06:21time on constituency work, of course.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25OK, 76, so you've got a bit of a chance now, Bernard.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Get this one right, you are in the final round.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33The 1909 Act of Parliament known as the Morley-Minto Reforms gave
0:06:33 > 0:06:36increased powers to inhabitants of which country?
0:06:40 > 0:06:45I... I'm wondering between India and South Africa.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50I'm just wondering that, as a result of the Boer War, it might be
0:06:50 > 0:06:53South Africa, so I'm going to go for South Africa.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Barry, do you know this? - I would have gone for India.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59India is the right answer, Bernard. So two out of three.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Back to Barry to save the round.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Of which US president did Patricia Schroeder say,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09"He is attempting a great breakthrough in political technology,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12"he's been perfecting the Teflon coated presidency.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15"He sees to it that nothing sticks to him"? Was that...
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Ah. Now, it is certainly not Lyndon Johnson.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Was Bill Clinton known as the Teflon Kid?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Or was it Ronald Reagan?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33No, Bill Clinton was the Comeback Kid. I think it was Ronald Reagan.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- CJ disagrees. - I think it's Bill Clinton.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Absolutely it is not Bill Clinton. It's Ronald Reagan.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Ronald Reagan was the Teflon President
0:07:43 > 0:07:46cos all kinds of things kicked off, like Iran/Contra,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49and they were swatted and batted away with ease.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51So, you're equal after three questions.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54We go to Sudden Death now, Bernard, and it gets a bit harder
0:07:54 > 0:07:57cos I don't give you alternative answers.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Which Latin American political leader stepped down in February 2008
0:08:02 > 0:08:05after 49 years in office?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I think that would be Fidel Castro.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Fidel Castro is quite right.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Back to you, Barry.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13In the days of the USSR, what name,
0:08:13 > 0:08:18derived from that of the citadel in Moscow that housed the government,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22was given to the art of interpreting Soviet politics?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I think that would be Kremlinology.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Kremlinology is quite right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Back to you, Bernard.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35The title of which 1980 space adventure film
0:08:35 > 0:08:38was used by Newsweek as its cover headline
0:08:38 > 0:08:43when the UK sent its naval task force to the Falklands?
0:08:44 > 0:08:45I don't know.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Lost In Space, I think, Jeremy, is all I can think of, really.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- It is The Empire Strikes Back. - Ah, yes, yeah.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57So, over to you, Barry. Get this right, you're in the final round.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00We're on Sudden Death here.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04The infamous picture dating from the 1980s of David Cameron
0:09:04 > 0:09:07and others posing in tail coats was a group portrait
0:09:07 > 0:09:11of the members of which Oxford undergraduate club?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Now, let me get this name right.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Was it the Bullingham Club or the Bollingham Club?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I think Bollingham champagne. I think it was the Bullingham Club.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Bullingham is wrong, I can't accept that.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Bullingdon.- Ah!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You're still level. Bernard, back to you.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Who became President of the United States in 1865
0:09:34 > 0:09:37after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Erm...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I... I don't know, Jeremy.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44My American history isn't that good.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50I wonder whether it might have been...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Ulysses Grant.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- It was not Ulysses Grant. It was Andrew Johnson.- Ah!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58So, Barry has a chance.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Sudden Death - get this right, Barry, you're in the final round.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Who became the British Deputy Prime Minister in 1942
0:10:05 > 0:10:06and remained in the role
0:10:06 > 0:10:10during Winston Churchill's wartime administration?
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I think he was probably my favourite British politician ever.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I think he was lord mayor of Stepney at one time
0:10:17 > 0:10:20and I do believe it was Clement Attlee.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Clement Attlee is the right answer.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Well done, Barry, you've won on Sudden Death.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26You're in the final. Sorry, Bernard,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29you've been knocked out by our Egghead, but that does happen.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Please, both of you, return. Rejoin your team-mates.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36So, as it stands, Bob's Buddies have lost Bernard's brain.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39That's a performance poem for you!
0:10:39 > 0:10:43The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet. Barry's still with us.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44The next subject is Science.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- So, who would like Science? - Is that you, Phil?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- I think it's me! - It's definitely Philip.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- OK, Philip against which Egghead? - Judith?- Judith?- I think Judith.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Yeah? OK.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59So, Philip from Bob's Buddies vs Judith from the Eggheads on Science.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Not Sport, Judith, that's the crucial thing.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Please go to the question room now.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07So, here we are on Science against Judith
0:11:07 > 0:11:09and would you like to go first or second?
0:11:09 > 0:11:10I'll go first, please.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17So, your first question, Philip, is this - which of these animals
0:11:17 > 0:11:21is often described as the UK's largest wild land mammal?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Right. It's certainly a deer, I know that much.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35I think I will say it's a red deer.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Red deer is the right answer, well done.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Judith,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45which of these planets is the eighth from the sun in our solar system?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- The eighth from the sun? - The eighth from the sun.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Well, that's the furthest out, isn't it?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I think it's Neptune, in that case.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Yes, Neptune is right.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01So, back to you, Philip.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04What is the technical term for pins and needles?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Well, it does suggest that there's something
0:12:12 > 0:12:14kind of vaguely anaesthetic about it
0:12:14 > 0:12:17in that you're not quite operating fully
0:12:17 > 0:12:19so I'll go for paraesthesia.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Paraesthesia is quite right.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Great quiz question, actually, and well done.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25So, to catch up,
0:12:25 > 0:12:26here's your question.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31The chemical element iridium takes its name from the Greek for what?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I think that is rainbow because irises
0:12:38 > 0:12:44come from the Greek for rainbow so I'm going to say rainbow.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Well done, Judith. Rainbow is right.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Back to you, Philip.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Which gas did Joseph Priestley call dephlogisticated air?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Dephlogisticated is D-E-P-H-L-O-G-I-S-T-I-C-A-T-E-D.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09OK, I don't know. It is a complete guess. I'll go for helium.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14No, it's oxygen, cos I think he was saying, basically,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- it's air without the something. Is that right?- Yeah.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18He discovered it or, well,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22he was one of the people who was credited with the discovery of it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- So he found it was a component part of air.- Mmm.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27OK, Judith, for the round for Science.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30The worldwide population of which of these wild animals
0:13:30 > 0:13:34is estimated at between 20,000 to 25,000.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Well, I think tigers are down to about 5,000 now.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46I don't know, I'm not sure. I think I'm going to try orang-utan.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- No, it's polar bear. - It's polar bears?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Yes, so two each and locked after three questions.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56We go to Sudden Death, Philip.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00It gets a little bit harder cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04For what do the letters CC stand in the abbreviation CCTV,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07the video monitoring system?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10That'll be closed circuit.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Closed circuit is correct, well done.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Judith, which scientist presented the BBC programmes
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I think it's Brian Cox.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Professor Brian Cox is correct.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Philip,
0:14:24 > 0:14:29which Swedish chemist invented blasting gelatine in 1875?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I can't even guess, Jeremy, I'm afraid. I haven't got a clue.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Blasting gelatine - Barry?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Alfred Nobel.- Alfred Nobel is the answer, Philip.- Ah!
0:14:40 > 0:14:41So, Judith, for the round.
0:14:41 > 0:14:48What is the common name of the goat antelope Rupicapra rupicapra,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52whose smooth absorbent hide is used in cleaning and polishing?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Is it a shammy, a chamois? Or however you pronounce it.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Chamois, shammy - what's your answer? - Chamois or shammy.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02C-H-A-M-O-I-S.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05That's exactly right. Shammy, people call it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Well done, you've got it and you've got the round.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Philip, you've been knocked out by Judith - on Science, Judith!- Whoohoo!
0:15:11 > 0:15:14The thumbs up and you're in the final round. Philip, you're not.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21So, Bob's Buddies have lost two brains from the final round.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26The Eggheads have lost none so far and the next subject is Geography.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27So, who would like this?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Right, am I going to do it or are you going to do it?- I'll do it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- You're going to do it.- I'll do it. - Dominic, OK, against which Egghead?
0:15:35 > 0:15:40- Which Egghead?- It's got to be CJ, hasn't it?- Can we have CJ, please?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Sure thing!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Dominic from Bob's Buddies, CJ from the Eggheads -
0:15:45 > 0:15:48please go to the question room.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- All right, well, good luck in this round.- Thank you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Er, first, if I may, please. Thank you.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Here we go, Dominic, good luck.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Which of these Spanish cities is located on the coast?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Well, it's certainly not Madrid.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12I'm going to say Barcelona cos I've been there before
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and that was on the coast, the south coast.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Absolutely right, that's right, Barcelona.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21CJ, approximately how many people live in England?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27That would be 54 million.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28It is indeed 54 million.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33OK, Dominic, Granton and Leith are areas in which British city?
0:16:36 > 0:16:42Right, it's certainly not Liverpool and I would say it's not Swansea.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Sunshine On Leith, I'll have to say Edinburgh.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Indeed, The Proclaimers, yeah.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Edinburgh is the answer. Well done.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51CJ, back to you.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56The lowest point of elevation in North America is in which US state?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Don't know this, but surely it must be in California.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Florida's fairly flat, Montana's pretty mountainous.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11There are a lot of valleys in California
0:17:11 > 0:17:13so I'll have to go for California.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14California is right.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Dominic, what is the name of the river
0:17:17 > 0:17:20in Cumbria that flows through Bassenthwaite Lake
0:17:20 > 0:17:22and Cockermouth to the sea?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30I'm going to take a punt here, Jeremy, and go for Eden.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Derwent is the answer, Dominic, two out of three.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Cj has a chance to take the round.
0:17:35 > 0:17:41Castle Drogo, designed by Edwin Lutyens, is in which national park?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I knew who it was designed by.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I was hoping that was going to be the question
0:17:49 > 0:17:51as soon as you said Drogo!
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Oh, dear. I don't think it's in the New Forest.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Obviously I don't know this cos it's UK geography,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01but simply because I've got this picture of it
0:18:01 > 0:18:04being on lonely windswept moors, I will try Dartmoor.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09If you've got it right, you're in the final round. Eggheads, do you know?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Dartmoor.- Dartmoor, they all say! Well done, CJ.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Sorry, Dominic, you've been knocked out there
0:18:15 > 0:18:17and CJ will be in the final round.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Come back to us and we'll play round four.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24So, Bob's Buddies have lost three brains from the final round.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30One more round before the final and it's Film and TV, I can tell you.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- So who would like this? - It'll be me.- It's Estelle.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37OK, Estelle, against which Egghead? You can have either Chris or Kevin.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- It's got to be Chris.- Chris, please. - You sound definite about that.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Absolutely definite.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Right, so, Estelle from Bob's Buddies and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48please go to the question room and we'll see what happens.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Good luck, Estelle.- Thank you. - Here we go. Are you ready for this?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Just about!- OK, Film and TV against Chris.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- Would you like to go first or second? - I'll go second, please.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05So, Chris has the first question and here it is.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Who first played the role of Sam Mitchell in the TV drama EastEnders?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Well, June Brown is Dot Cotton.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19I can honestly say I have never, ever watched EastEnders.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I don't think it was Danniella Westbrook either
0:19:22 > 0:19:26so I think the first person to play Sam Mitchell was Michelle Collins.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Michelle Collins, you say. Judith will know.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- She watches it every night. - It's Danniella Westbrook.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Danniella Westbrook is the answer,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Chris, so a faltering start, I'm afraid.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36So, Estelle, that's good.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39You haven't done anything and you're ahead already.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42In which year was the BBC's flagship news broadcast
0:19:42 > 0:19:47The Nine O'Clock News controversially replaced by the Ten O'Clock News?
0:19:51 > 0:19:541960, I think it was still going.
0:19:54 > 0:19:571980, I'm sure it was still going
0:19:57 > 0:20:02because we used to moan at our parents at home so I'm saying 2000.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Absolutely spot on! Well done!
0:20:06 > 0:20:10So you definitely are ahead now and it was Greg Dyke who made the switch.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15So, Chris, Alan Ladd starred in which of these classic westerns?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Alan Ladd, who was an extremely short little fellow
0:20:22 > 0:20:23and had to stand on boxes
0:20:23 > 0:20:26to play scenes with leading ladies, was in Shane.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I didn't know that about the boxes.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Mm.- Shane is correct.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Estelle, which of these actors plays the role of Mycroft Holmes
0:20:35 > 0:20:38in the TV drama Sherlock?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I believe it is Martin Freeman.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49It's not. It's Mark Gatiss.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51So Freeman is Watson.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- And Gatiss is Holmes's brother, basically.- Yeah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Yeah, a rather odd, sinister, brooding person.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I'm sorry, it was Mark Gatiss. Chris, over to you.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Who directed the 2014 film Maps To The Stars?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Now, Maps To The Stars doesn't sound like anything to do with astronomy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17It sounds to me like maps to stars' houses which you get in Hollywood,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19which is a bit creepy and stalkerish.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Now, Oliver Stone does war movies and biopics like JFK,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28David Cronenberg does horror movies,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32but if we're talking creepy, stalkerish type things,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I have to go with David Lynch.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- David Cronenberg it is, Chris. - Oh, OK.- How about that, Estelle?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39He made a mistake there.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42You can take the round with this answer.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Which of these actors starred
0:21:44 > 0:21:48in the films A Most Violent Year and Ex Machina?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I don't think it was Brad Pitt.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59I'm going to go for Oscar Isaac.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02If you've got this right, you've taken the round.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06The correct answer is Oscar Isaac.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Well done, Estelle. Well done!
0:22:08 > 0:22:12So, you're in the final so it's not a wipe-out for your team at all.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15This is looking quite interesting for our final round.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Chris, you've been knocked out.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Return to us and we will play the final round.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:22:24 > 0:22:25is General Knowledge.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:28 > 0:22:32won't be allowed to take part in this round so that's Dominic, Bernard
0:22:32 > 0:22:35and Philip from Bob's Buddies and also Chris from the Eggheads,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:39 > 0:22:40So here we are. Bob and Estelle,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43you are playing to win Bob's Buddies £16,000.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45What a jackpot we've got!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Kevin, Judith, Barry, CJ, you're playing for something
0:22:48 > 0:22:51which money can't really buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57This time, they're all general knowledge.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59You can confer, OK, so, Bob's Buddies,
0:22:59 > 0:23:03the question is are your two brains better than these four?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12And good luck, here's your question.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Which of these trees typically has bright green needle-like leaves?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- It's clearly larch, isn't it?- Larch.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26No problem there, I think - I hope! It'll be larch.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31It is larch, well done, straight there. Eggheads, your first question.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33In February 2015,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37which of these jockeys announced his intention to retire?
0:23:42 > 0:23:43- ALL:- Tony McCoy.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45That was AP, Tony McCoy.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Tony McCoy it was. Trucking on here!
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Let's see if you can stop them in their tracks.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54£16,000 we're playing for.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Which British actress, famed for her comedic roles,
0:23:57 > 0:24:02played the policewoman Ruby Gates in the St Trinian's films?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10It was Joyce Grenfell, definitely.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Again, I think we know the answer to this. I think that's Joyce Grenfell.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Yes, Joyce Grenfell is the answer. You're right, well done.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Next question is for the Eggheads.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25The CAC 40 is a stock market index in which country?
0:24:29 > 0:24:34France, isn't it? That's the stock market index in France.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36France is correct.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38CAC Quarante.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40OK, your question,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42third question, it can be crucial.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45What name is given to the unique rotating boat lift,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47built to link the Union Canal
0:24:47 > 0:24:50with the Forth and Clyde Canal in Scotland?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- I have never heard of this, have you?- I've not heard of it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04- Let's break it down.- It won't be Stirling, that's nowhere near.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Falkirk...- Cowdenbeath...
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I've got a funny feeling it might be the Falkirk Wheel,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12but I don't know why I think that.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I think we should go for that one.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- I've got that feeling too. - We honestly don't know.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20There's a bit of an inkling that it might be the Falkirk Wheel, Jeremy.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Falkirk Wheel for three out of three if you've got it right.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Eggheads, are they right?- Yes. - Falkirk Wheel it is.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Well done, three out of three. Well done, indeed!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33You may not have to do another stroke of work today.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Let's see. If they get this wrong,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37you've won £16,000.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40The jackpot's been building up for quite a while
0:25:40 > 0:25:43and teams have come close, but you're now VERY close.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Eggheads, you need to get this question right.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50The crossword set by the compiler Azed first appeared
0:25:50 > 0:25:52in which Sunday newspaper in 1972?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Azed is spelled A-Z-E-D.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- I think it's The Sunday Times. - I thought Azed was The Sunday Times.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- OK, I don't know this.- I think it's The Sunday Times.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07He's one of the most famous ones, isn't he, Judith,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10one of the most difficult ones? It's not The Mail On Sunday.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13It's just I'm familiar with it and I don't read the other papers.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18- Yeah, exactly.- Oh, OK.- I think we can rule out The Mail On Sunday.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I've read The Observer, but I've never looked at the crossword.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- I think Azed is one of those really, really famous setters.- OK.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- I think you've both... - That's my instinct.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33I mean, I don't read The Observer and I don't read The Mail On Sunday,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36but I am familiar with seeing it so I hope that that's what...
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- OK.- I thought Sunday Times before the options came up.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Can we just have the question once more, please?
0:26:41 > 0:26:45The crossword set by the compiler Azed first appeared
0:26:45 > 0:26:48in which Sunday newspaper in 1972?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- OK, well, I think we've got enough to...- Pray!- That's right.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Erm, right,
0:26:53 > 0:26:58so we've got some instincts that that would be The Sunday Times.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00OK, Sunday Times is your answer.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03And, Judith, you've seen it in The Sunday Times?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06It's just that I don't read The Mail On Sunday or The Observer,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08but I am familiar with that crossword.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- And you've been reading The Sunday Times since 1972?- No, I...
0:27:10 > 0:27:12So, out of interest,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14when did you start reading The Sunday Times?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Well, I only occasionally read The Sunday Times.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19So, have you read it at all in the '70s?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Oh, God, it's the '70s aspect.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26- Well, it quite clearly said it first appeared in 1972.- Mm-hmm.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28And you charged ahead.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Judith said The Sunday Times, CJ...
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I think it's been going some time.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34How old were you in 1972?
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Er, two or three.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- You were reading The Sunday Times then?- I was compiling it then.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41The answer is The Observer.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44We say congratulations, challengers, you have won!
0:27:49 > 0:27:54Congratulations, guys! They blew a gasket, I can't explain it.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56I've never seen anything like that.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Well done, Bob, and will this help the charity?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01It'll help a tremendous amount.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Well done, it's fantastic that it's going to a great cause.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- I'm really pleased for you.- Thanks very much.- Great to see you winning.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Really chuffed for you, really chuffed and, yes,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- we'll have the debrief at the end. - Oh, dear!
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Well, there we go! You've just won £16,000.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23We've also found out CJ's been reading The Sunday Times
0:28:23 > 0:28:26since he was two. Join us next time on Eggheads
0:28:26 > 0:28:30to see if a new team of challengers can do THAT to THEM.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Until then, goodbye.
