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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Best Eds.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, this team of colleagues all work together
0:00:38 > 0:00:40at St Bede's Primary School in Rotherham.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Their team name is an anagram of not only the school's name
0:00:44 > 0:00:48but also because they believe they are the best educators, of course.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Chris and I'm a deputy head teacher.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Pauline and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Lizzie and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Tom and I'm a newly qualified teacher.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Gavin, I'm an IT coordinator and a high-level teaching assistant.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- So Chris, team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you, hi.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- So, all the teachers at the same school?- We are, yes.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14You had to look around to check that. OTHERS LAUGH
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Yes, we've got a newly qualified teacher
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- who is with us at the moment. - And that's Tom?
0:01:19 > 0:01:20- That's Tom, yes.- That's me.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22So, it's always terrifying for teachers
0:01:22 > 0:01:24cos if you're, let's say, a science teacher,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and you do science and you get knocked out,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I know that can be very stressful.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- So, keep the stress... - That's me.- That's you, is it?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34I run a science club and the children believe I know everything,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36so I don't want that illusion shattered.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38All right, well, we'll see what we can do then.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Maybe just switch away from your own subject,
0:01:40 > 0:01:41maybe that's the solution.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Do you quiz? - We do, we do around Kimberworth.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47It's been a recent thing as a team building
0:01:47 > 0:01:49but we're getting there slowly but surely.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53OK, well, I'm sure you're at a level where you can take on these Eggheads.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:55 > 0:01:57up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02as you know, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, Best Eds, the Eggheads have won the last two games
0:02:04 > 0:02:07which means £3,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Worth cracking on?- Woohoo! - Definitely, please.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14All right, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16So, who would like to do this?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Ooh!- Right.- Have we got a history teacher?
0:02:19 > 0:02:20- I think...- Tom.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Tom is our clear strength at this one.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Yeah. Go on, Tom.- I'll go for it.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- All right.- I've been forced into it.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31The newest teacher and the History man against which Egghead, Tom?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Um, I would like to take on...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Lisa.- Yeah.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- I'll take on Lisa.- Good idea.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Tom from Best Eds. Lisa did history at University.- Sometimes.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46- Although it was a while ago.- Yeah!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Thanks for pointing that out, Jeremy. Yeah.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I mean it wasn't last week, is what I mean.- Yes, that's entirely fair.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56So, please, to ensure there's no conferring, go to our Question Room.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Lisa, we were thinking to get Eggheads to the next stage.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03You all have to have a nickname and yours can be related to your singing,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06so you could be the Voice. SHE LAUGHS
0:03:06 > 0:03:08As long as I'm not the X Factor, I don't mind.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10And then, well, Barry is the Brain.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Obviously, we've got Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Pat will be known as Silent But Deadly.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I think that's terribly cruel cos there are other things, obviously,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21that are known as silent but deadly and Pat is a deeply fragrant man.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23OTHERS LAUGH I hadn't thought of that.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25CJ, we're still working on,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27so we might come back to that later in the game.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I don't think there's one we can actually say
0:03:29 > 0:03:31at this hour on television, is there?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Well, maybe we could get viewers to make some suggestions.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36OTHERS LAUGH
0:03:36 > 0:03:39How big are the post bags at the BBC these days?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43OK, so Tom, you can choose whether you go first or second on History.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Um, I think I might as well go offensive and I'll go first.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52So, here is your question, Tom.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Manfred von Richthofen, nicknamed the Red Baron,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59famously performed what role in World War I?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Um, I was a little bit thrown when you first said that name,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08but now the options have come up,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I believe he was a fighter pilot, it rings a bell in my head.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Yeah, he was doing lots of loop-the-loops and everything else.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Fighter pilot is quite right.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20OK, over to the Voice.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24The Act of Succession in 1534 was passed during the reign
0:04:24 > 0:04:26of which English king?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- 1534, you say?- 1534.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Well, Edward II and Richard III had both snuffed it
0:04:36 > 0:04:37quite heavily before 1534.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It must be Henry VIII.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Henry VIII is the right answer, Lisa. Well done.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43OK, Tom.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47The historical period known as the Dark Ages is often said
0:04:47 > 0:04:49to roughly correspond to which years?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Um, I believe it would have been after Christ,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04so I'll rule that one out.
0:05:05 > 0:05:111AD to 200AD seems a little bit early, so I will go for,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14and I hope it's right, 500AD to 1000AD.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Yeah, that's right, five centuries, half a millennium.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21500 to 1000AD. Well done.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23OK, back to the Voice.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27The Indian Mutiny, often referred to as the First War of Independence,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30occurred during the reign of which monarch?
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Right.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40The Indian Mutiny, let's get some dates sorted out in my head.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46George III is what? 1700s.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Victoria was 1837 to 1901.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I was getting sort of 1800s when you said Indian Mutiny,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- so I'll go for Victoria. - Yes, you're right, 1857.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02So, just 20 years into her reign. It all started kicking off.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04OK, back to you, Tom.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08The people of which island led by Knights Hospitaller
0:06:08 > 0:06:13successfully resisted an Ottoman siege in 1565?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Um, well, thinking about this,
0:06:19 > 0:06:24I would just go for the one that is closest to Turkey,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27obviously, the home of the Ottoman Empire.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I'm not 100% sure but purely by the geography of it,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I'm going to go for Cyprus.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Gotcha. Wrong answer, though, I'm afraid. Malta.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Like the logic, though. Just lead you astray.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Lisa, your question.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Sir Richard Sharples, who was assassinated in 1973,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47was the governor of which British overseas territory?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Sharples.- Sir Richard Sharples. - Yeah.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56No, I've read this and it's not going to come back.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02I've sort of got vague stirrings for Bermuda so I'll go for Bermuda.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05If you are right, you are in the final round. The answer is Bermuda.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Well done, Lisa. You've done it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Sorry, Tom. Just one small error.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Costly, but that's how it goes. Don't worry, early days.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Your team can still very much win.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Please come back, rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22As it stands, Best Eds have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:22 > 0:07:23the Eggheads have lost none.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I know the school pupils will be cheering you on here.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28The next subject for you is Film & TV.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Who would like this? - What do you think?- Film & TV?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Yeah, go for it, Gav. - I think you should go for it.- Go on.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I will take that one, Jeremy.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- OK, Gavin. Who would you like? Can't be Lisa.- Shall we go for Barry?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- He's too clever on his science... - Barry looks like he fancies it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Go on, Barry!- Go on, Barry!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51He does, he's been up for it all through the game
0:07:51 > 0:07:53and we've only just started.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56So, Gavin from Best Eds versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's Film & TV, Gavin. Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Here we go, good luck. Who directed the 2014 film American Sniper?
0:08:19 > 0:08:27Oh! Um... I didn't see the film. I saw all the hype around it. Uh...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Only for the fact that I know that he does a lot of
0:08:31 > 0:08:35really good work in directing, I'll say Clint Eastwood.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- It is Clint Eastwood, yes. Excellent.- Yay!
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Barry, your question.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43The short-lived TV series The Lone Gunmen,
0:08:43 > 0:08:47which was broadcast in 2001, was a spin-off from which other show?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Certainly not The Sopranos. I remember now.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- I believe it was The X-Files. - It was The X-Files, well done.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Gavin, your question.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Which country music star was nominated for an Oscar
0:09:05 > 0:09:09in 2015 for the track I'm Not Gonna Miss You?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14I'm Not Gonna Miss You.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Um, I'm not going to miss this question either because...
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I've just not heard of it. Um...
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Well, I mean, they're all huge stars.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Uh, I'll say Garth Brooks.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Without any certainty, though.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Yeah, it's not him and it's interesting, this one,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36because I must say, I didn't know this guy was still operating.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- You know, Eggheads? - Yeah, Glen Campbell.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Glen Campbell is the answer, Gavin. - OK.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43OK, Barry, your question to take the lead.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi and Tony Hale
0:09:47 > 0:09:50all play siblings in which US TV comedy?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58I don't think there's any siblings in Veep.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I've never watched Transparent
0:10:00 > 0:10:03but I'll have a go for Arrested Development.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Arrested Development is correct. Have you watched that, Barry?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I've read about one episode but that was about it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Arrested Development must be quite funny.- It's very funny, yeah.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- So much around, isn't there? - Yeah.- Amazing!
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Not enough hours in the day, Jeremy.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Well, it's the whole catch-up thing, it's the fact you don't have to
0:10:19 > 0:10:22sit around and wait for it to come on now. OK, Gavin.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- So, crucial moment for you and your team.- Yes.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29You need to get this right. Otherwise, there will be no way back.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Which English actress won a Golden Globe Award in 2014
0:10:32 > 0:10:36for her performance in the Stephen Poliakoff television drama
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Dancing On The Edge?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Uh, I can't picture it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I'm just trying to think of who actually...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Just trying to go through the...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Again, without any certainty, I'm going to say Sarah Miles.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Do you know this one, Barry?- I do.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I rather hope it's Julie Christie because I found her
0:11:03 > 0:11:06the most luminous actress I've ever watched on the screen.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09She absolutely glowed whenever she gave a screen performance.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- It's not her either. - Oh, what a shame.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Jacqueline Bisset is the answer.- Wow.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Veteran actress. So sorry about that, Gavin.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19You've been knocked out by Barry the Brain.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Certainly one of the cleverest Eggheads there has ever been,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- so no disgrace at all. - Oh, God!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Well, there aren't that many, Barry!- One of the top eight.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30In the top eight, as CJ says. BARRY LAUGHS
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36So, Best Eds have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40You will know, if you watch at home a lot, it's not over by any means.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42The next subject is Science.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Ooh!- Who would like this?- Pauline!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48OK, science teacher on Science, right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Pauline, against which Egghead?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52And you can have Pat or CJ or Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I've already decided, I'm having Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Tremendous Knowledge, OK.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01So, Pauline from Best Eds versus TKD from the Eggheads.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I bet you love science and teaching it, Pauline.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Yes, I used to teach science in secondary school.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Now I work in a primary school
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and I run a science club for children from...
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Well, the small ones, aged three, right up to age 11.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20They love science at a young age, don't they?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Well, the enthusiasm for the younger children,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24if you could bottle it and give it to older children,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27they're absolutely fantastic, especially Key Stage 1 children.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29The questions they ask you, you know,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31why doesn't the moon fall out of the sky
0:12:31 > 0:12:34or how come the sun turns into the moon.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Brilliant, they're really enthusiastic.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38- It's great, it's great.- Yeah.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41And Dave, they're questions that we want the answers to as well.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Absolutely, yes.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Yeah, well, we might have to ask Pauline later about that.- Yes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47So Science, would you like to go first or second, Pauline?
0:12:47 > 0:12:48First, please.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53And here we go, good luck.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57What is the approximate weight of an adult human brain?
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Right.
0:13:05 > 0:13:0860lbs sounds very heavy.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12So does 30. I shall say 3lbs.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Yes, 3lbs is quite right. - Well done.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Dave, your question.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21How many legs does the creature known as a mite have? That's M-I-T-E.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Well, it's an insect, I presume. Um...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Hmm.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Don't really know, I've not really thought about it.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Well, I don't think it's two. Um... Can't be four, can it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I'm going to go eight but I really haven't got a clue.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Pauline, is he right? - I have to say, I don't know.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50An insect has six legs and arachnids have eight legs.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51I'm not sure.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54It's an arachnid, it's got eight legs, Dave. You're right.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I've never thought about that at all. Sorry about that.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Well, they're very small.- Yeah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00OTHERS LAUGH
0:14:00 > 0:14:03That's another of those excuses, like, "It was before I was born."
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Yes!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06There's a reason not to know.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08OK, Pauline, your question.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Argentina, Chile and which other South American country
0:14:11 > 0:14:13make up the so-called Lithium Triangle,
0:14:13 > 0:14:17as they hold the world's largest reserves of the metal?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Right. Well...
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I don't know.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Now, if they're all in the same vicinity...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36My son recently visited South America and he...
0:14:36 > 0:14:41He went to Argentina and Peru and Bolivia.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44And Chile, actually.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I don't know. I'll say Bolivia.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Eggheads, is she right? - She is.- Yes, it is Bolivia!
0:14:51 > 0:14:54There's a huge flat area in Bolivia
0:14:54 > 0:14:56called Salar de Uyuni,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58which is an old salt flat
0:14:58 > 0:15:00and it's absolutely chock-a-block
0:15:00 > 0:15:02with lithium underneath the salt.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Wow. So Bolivia is the answer, well done.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10OK, Dave. The vermilion border is located in which part of the body?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Vermilion?- Vermilion. - Well, I think it's a...
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Border, well, I've got to...
0:15:21 > 0:15:25..eliminate knees and ears and in this case, go for lips.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Lips is correct. Well done. Back to you, Pauline.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Xiphias gladius is the scientific name of which fish?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Right.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Xiphias... Well, I have no idea.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I should say, by the way, it's spelt X-I-P-H-I-A-S and then G-L-A-D-I-U-S.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Oh, right.- It starts with an X. Sorry, I should say that.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Right, right. Well, doesn't really help me. Um...
0:15:53 > 0:15:57No idea. Gladius, gladiator.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00That would lead you to, I don't know, swordfish or barracuda.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Don't know. Um, might be a red herring.- Just have a red herring!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08OTHERS LAUGH
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- It's not a red herring. The answer is not that.- Right, um...
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- I'll say barracuda.- Oh!- You've been guessing brilliantly so far.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19But on this occasion, Eggheads?
0:16:19 > 0:16:20- Swordfish.- Swordfish.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Because you got... You were right on the...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24It's fencing, it's fighting,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27it's almost the most obvious gladiatorial-shaped fish.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31So, that leaves a chance for Dave.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34According to a Royal Society report published in 2015,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36the teeth of which creature are made
0:16:36 > 0:16:40of the strongest biological material ever tested?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I've got no idea, really.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Um, nothing really to go on.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Not getting limpets or beavers with this so I'll go whales, please.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Whales?- No.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Whales have got strong teeth but they are not that strong,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- they are not as strong as the teeth of limpets.- Right, OK.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Limpets is the answer. So we go to Sudden Death.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- How about that, Pauline? - Oh! Nightmare.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11You've been saved from the final whistle there by Dave's wrong answer.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15So it gets a bit more tricky now. I don't give you alternatives.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18In 1928, which Scottish inventor was responsible
0:17:18 > 0:17:22for the first transatlantic television transmission
0:17:22 > 0:17:26from England to Hartsdale in New York?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Alexander Graham Bell.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- No. John Logie Baird.- Oh.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Which ingredient often used in perfumery
0:17:36 > 0:17:40is named for the family of deer from which it can be obtained?
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- Get this right, you're in the final. - Don't know, musk.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Musk is the correct answer, from the male musk deer.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Sorry, Pauline, you've been knocked out by Dave there.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Sudden Death and it can be quick. And Dave will be in the final round.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Both of you please return to us. We'll play round four.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59So, as it stands,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01our teachers here have lost three brains from the final round.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and the next subject for you is Sport.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- So which Best Ed would like this? - Chris.- Chris.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- You sure?- Yeah, leave Lizzie.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12- Chris?- I'll take it, please.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15So, Lizzie stays for the final round. OK, against which Egghead?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Chris, it can be... Let's see, Pat or CJ in the middle.- CJ.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21It's got to be CJ. You've got to take CJ.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22You've been after that all the time.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- I will try my luck against CJ, please.- You want to take on CJ?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Please.- OK, so Chris from Best...
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- It's gone very quiet. - It has, hasn't it?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Chris from Best Eds versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36And just to make sure there's no conferring,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38please go to our Question Room.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43So Chris, would you like to go first or second on Sports?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I'll go first, please.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- So, here we go. Good luck against CJ.- Thank you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Which of these former England test match cricket captains
0:18:54 > 0:18:56was born in the UK?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I don't think it's Kevin Pietersen.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Between Tony Greig and Ian Botham
0:19:05 > 0:19:06and out of two of them, I would say...
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- ..Ian Botham. - Ian Botham is the right answer.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15CJ, we're still working on your nickname, CJ.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I'm not going to give you anything on this.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Chess related, we think you should be the Bishop.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27OK, Formula One races typically take place on which day of the week?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I think you get practice on Friday, qualifying on Saturday
0:19:33 > 0:19:35and the race is on a Sunday.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Sunday is the right answer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Chris, over to you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45The Road Hole is the nickname of the 17th hole
0:19:45 > 0:19:46of which famous golf course?
0:19:50 > 0:19:56Road Hole. I think it's one of those that just jumps out at you.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Augusta is famous for Amen Corner, don't know enough about Winged Foot
0:20:01 > 0:20:03but I think the answer is St Andrews.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07St Andrews is the right answer, well done. And golf is your sport, right?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- I do play it occasionally, yes. - And watch it as well?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- I love watching it, yes. I prefer to watch.- CJ, your question.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Which of these athletics events was a male-only sport
0:20:17 > 0:20:19at the Olympics until 2008?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Hmm, that's interesting. Not the hurdles.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32But the 3,000 metres steeplechase was traditionally always
0:20:32 > 0:20:34associated with the men.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37And simply because you've got...
0:20:37 > 0:20:39..great pole vaulters like Feofanova and Isinbayeva,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43who must have been competing for the Olympics before then,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- I'll go for the 3,000 metres steeplechase.- Good logic.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49So you mentioned some pole vaulters there who were women, were they?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Yeah, Feofanova and Isinbayeva.
0:20:51 > 0:20:543,000 metres steeplechase is the right answer. OK.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57So, over to you, Chris.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Now, this is where your fellow players fell by the wayside,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04this crucial third question, this gritty question.
0:21:04 > 0:21:11For which NFL team did quarterback Troy Aikman play from 1989 to 2000?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20That's a...really tough question.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Um, the name rings a bell.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27And if that's the case, I don't know much about Washington
0:21:27 > 0:21:31or San Francisco, so I'll go for the Dallas Cowboys.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34You've got three out of three, well done. That's good.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38And they're even clapping you in quite a restrained way here.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Very restrained. - OK, over to the Bishop.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Which tennis player born in 1898
0:21:46 > 0:21:50won the Wimbledon men's singles title twice
0:21:50 > 0:21:52and was known as the Bounding Basque?
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Oh, dear, you've chosen three of the Four Musketeers. It's not Lacoste.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Uh, my instinct is Borotra.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Yeah, I'll have to go with my instinct which is Jean Borotra.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Jean Borotra.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It is Borotra the Bounding Basque, you're quite right, CJ.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16So you've got three out of three as well.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Well played on Sport, both of you. And we go to Sudden Death, Chris.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- So I don't give you alternative answers. Are you ready?- OK.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Hasim Rahman and Oliver McCall were the only two men to defeat
0:22:27 > 0:22:31which London-born boxer in his professional career?
0:22:31 > 0:22:32London born...
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Uh, Lennox Lewis. - Lennox Lewis is the right answer.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Sudden Death, so CJ under pressure now. Get this wrong, you're out.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44In 2000, which British cyclist
0:22:44 > 0:22:50broke Eddy Merckx's 1972 world hour record using a traditional bike?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Oh, dear. Two names have come to mind
0:22:52 > 0:22:53and I don't know which one to pick.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Chris Broadman or Graham Obree. Of course, now I've got...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Is it Chris Boardman or Chris Broad...?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01No, it's Boardman, isn't it? There's no R, Chris Boardman.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05I'm assuming it's one of these two.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Um, but I'll go with my first instinct and say Chris Boardman.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12You are right and you've even spelt it right. Chris Boardman.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I thought you were going to go Broadman,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I was going to have two discount it but you got it absolutely right, CJ.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Well done. So, Sudden Death continues. Chris, your question.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Which female athlete won a silver medal for Great Britain
0:23:22 > 0:23:25in the 400 metres of the 1968 Olympics?
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I don't even have an athlete to hazard a guess at, Jeremy.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I'll have a shot in the dark at Mary Peters.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- No, it's Lillian Board.- OK. - Who tragically died two years later.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41So CJ, you have a chance to take the round.
0:23:41 > 0:23:47The South Korean YE Yang is a professional in which sport?
0:23:47 > 0:23:52- Spell this name, please. - YE is initials, OK?- Oh, fine.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- And then Yang, Y-A-N-G.- Fine, good job I asked you to spell it.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Yeah, he's won the... Is it US PGA, he won?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02One of the grand slams.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- But he's a golfer. - He is a golfer. Well done, CJ.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07You've taken the round on Sudden Death.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Sorry, Chris, you've been knocked out. I sense you know that one.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Yeah, unfortunate question.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13It's a golf question, was going to come up at some point.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16So, CJ is through to the final. If you come back to us, we'll play it.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23It is time for the final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:24:26 > 0:24:28won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It has been a bit of a rout on this side.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34So Chris, Pauline, Tom and Gavin from Best Eds,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36would you please leave the studio?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40All right, Lizzie, I know you've been left on your own here
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- but it can be done. It can be done.- Fingers crossed.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Three questions away from the jackpot and you're expecting a baby?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- I am, yeah. That's right. - Boy or girl?- A little boy.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Due to arrive in three months' time, so yeah,
0:24:51 > 0:24:52really looking forward to that.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55So you can, you can certainly confer with the boy.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57SHE LAUGHS
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Lizzie, you're playing to win Best Eds £3,000.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Barry, CJ, Pat, Lisa and Dave, you're playing for something
0:25:03 > 0:25:06that money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I was going to say you can confer
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- but I know that doesn't help too much.- Aw!
0:25:14 > 0:25:20So Best Eds, the question is, is your brain able to take down these five?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22As I say, it can be done, Lizzie. Would you like to go first or second?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Second, please.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30So, first question now for the Eggs, all five of you.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34What relation is the actor Casey Affleck to the actor
0:25:34 > 0:25:36and director Ben Affleck?
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Brother.- Brothers, brothers. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Um, they are talented brothers.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46They are indeed brothers, well done.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Lizzie, your question.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52The Last Battle is the final instalment in a series of books
0:25:52 > 0:25:54by which author?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Um, it's CS Lewis.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- Is that a guess or do you know? - Bit of a guess.- It's right.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Oh, thank you!- Well done. What do you teach, by the way?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Everything, because I'm a primary school teacher.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13So, year five and six, ten and 11-year-olds.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- So they will be cheering you on right now.- They will be.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Well done, you got CS Lewis. And are we talking Narnia here, Eggheads?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Yes, it's the last of the Narnia books.- The whole Narnia thing, yes.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22OK, over to you, Eggs.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Robin Hood's Bay and Goathland are tourist spots in which
0:26:26 > 0:26:27English National Park?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- We'll claim those, shall we? Yeah. - Go on, Barry.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- We're absolutely certain on that one.- Oh, yeah.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38They are in the North York Moors.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41North York Moors is correct.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43OK, so your second question, Lizzie.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Chippy Minton the carpenter was a character
0:26:46 > 0:26:48in which children's TV series?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54They don't sound like something when I were born.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Were I born at this point? Don't know.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Um, oh, let's have a look.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Don't think it's Trumpton, never heard of it.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So, I will go for The Clangers.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Eggheads, help us out with the answer here.- It's Trumpton.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Trumpton is the answer.- Oh!
0:27:10 > 0:27:15OK, so the Eggheads have a chance to win with their third question.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19In Greek mythology, Iphigenia was the daughter of Clytemnestra
0:27:19 > 0:27:20and which other figure?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Agamemnon. She knocked him off, didn't she?- Yes, she did.- Agamemnon?
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Definitely.- Yes, Odysseus, Menelaus, Agamemnon.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Yeah, everybody agreed? - Yeah, definitely.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35We think that's Agamemnon, Jeremy.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Agamemnon is the right answer.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41So we have to say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48You've done St Bede's proud and did you enjoy it?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I did, it's been fantastic. Thanks for having us.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Not at all and this, when there are five of them,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56it has been done before, as we said, but it is hard against five
0:27:56 > 0:28:00because it only takes one brain cell in amongst the five
0:28:00 > 0:28:01to know the answer and...
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Sometimes we've relied very heavily on that one brain cell!
0:28:04 > 0:28:05OTHERS LAUGH
