0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:34- They are the Eggheads. And are you on form?- Yes!- We're happy.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37- You just went like that, Lisa, meaning...?- Well, yeah.- Yeah. OK.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39A bit uncertain, I think.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Well, let's see if that's good news for our Challengers.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45Taking on our quiz Goliaths today are the Maytons from London.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48Now, this team of friends all used to live together in a shared

0:00:48 > 0:00:51house on Mayton Street in Islington.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53They all enjoy quizzing and they like to organise quiz

0:00:53 > 0:00:57nights against each other, where they play for rather unique prizes.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Let's meet them and find out more.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hiya. I'm Joe, I'm a digital operations manager.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Kat, and I'm a nurse.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Rhys, and I'm a marketing analyst.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Joseph, I'm a procurement consultant.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi. I'm Ross, I'm a Parliamentary researcher.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14- So, Joe and team, welcome. ALL:- Hi.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18I've got to ask about the unique prizes. What's going on there?

0:01:18 > 0:01:21So, we play against our friends' houses, and whichever team

0:01:21 > 0:01:26loses has to give an item of up to £50 to the winning team.

0:01:26 > 0:01:31So we have won a house plant, a block of knives...

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Those kind of weird prizes.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36So you don't live in the same house now, you go round

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- to your friend's house and then you take something away if you win.- Yeah.

0:01:39 > 0:01:40- That's pretty much it. - Right.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- And have they been cleared out yet? - We're getting close.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44JEREMY LAUGHS

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- But you obviously love quizzing. - Yep.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49We quiz at least once a week, and then

0:01:49 > 0:01:53we have a big quiz-off against our friends once every six months.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57And are you still in the Mayton Street house or not? No?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Unfortunately not.- Oh, dear! You've moved out.- Yeah.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04- End of an era.- So, was that the kind of student place, was it, or...?

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Yeah. There was eight of us living there. There's only five of us here.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11I think at some stage you have to move on from that arrangement,

0:02:11 > 0:02:13or it gets very inconvenient.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Well, these Eggheads, they all live together,

0:02:15 > 0:02:16in a little flat in Glasgow.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18I tell you what, though,

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Kevin and I are in the process of getting new houses.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23This sounds like a really good wheeze for furnishing.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- It does!- Kevin could probably furnish a whole street like that.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27He could go round, challenge the neighbours

0:02:27 > 0:02:29and take all their knife blocks away.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for

0:02:32 > 0:02:35grabs for our Challengers, but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:35 > 0:02:36the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Now, Maytons, the Eggheads had a problem

0:02:39 > 0:02:41and they've recovered very swiftly.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43They've won the last three games now,

0:02:43 > 0:02:46so there's £4,000 on the table for you to win today.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Would you like to try? - Yes!- As you're here!

0:02:48 > 0:02:52The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Who would like this?

0:02:53 > 0:02:57- So, what do we think?- Rhys, I think. - Between me and you, isn't it, Joe?

0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Yeah. But you're the film buff, so I think we'll go with Rhys.- OK.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Rhys is the film man. Against which Egghead?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07You can have any one of the five.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Lisa's smiling like she knows a lot. - She does know a lot!

0:03:12 > 0:03:15I'm smiling out of pure fear.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Dave?- Should we go Dave? - We'll go Dave.- Dave!

0:03:19 > 0:03:22All right, so Rhys from the Maytons versus Dave from the Eggheads.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24And to ensure there's no conferring,

0:03:24 > 0:03:28would you please take your positions in our special Question Room?

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Rhys, you're from Islington, but I gather you are an Arsenal fan.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Yeah, that's right.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Yeah, we used to live at Mayton Street

0:03:35 > 0:03:37and used to be very close to there,

0:03:37 > 0:03:39so we could hear when Arsenal scored.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Like in Fever Pitch, where the guy's trying to move close to the stadium

0:03:42 > 0:03:44and claiming that he ought to pay less for the house

0:03:44 > 0:03:47- because he's going to be really annoyed by the cheering.- Yeah. Yeah.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Dave, you're about as close to an Arsenal fan as you've ever

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- been in your life, I think. - Something like that!

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Yes!

0:03:55 > 0:03:58OK, so, top-of-the-table fixture here, Film & TV.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02- And, Rhys, would you like to go first or second?- Can I go first, please?

0:04:05 > 0:04:09Here we go. "Choose life, choose a job, choose a career"

0:04:09 > 0:04:12are the first words heard in which film?

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Erm... It sounds familiar.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24I've not seen Twilight or Four Weddings And A Funeral,

0:04:24 > 0:04:25but I have seen Trainspotting.

0:04:25 > 0:04:30And, yeah, it sounds familiar, so I'd say it was from Trainspotting.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Trainspotting is the right answer. - Excellent.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33Yes, that great scene.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Aren't they all running, and the guy jumps over a car bonnet and all that?

0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's just complete chaos. Yeah.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42OK, over to you, Tremendous Knowledge Dave.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Which of these characters made a surprise reappearance on the TV

0:04:45 > 0:04:48soap EastEnders in February 2015?

0:04:52 > 0:04:54HE CHUCKLES

0:04:54 > 0:04:57I don't know how these EastEnders scriptwriters get away with it.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Pretty surprised they've not managed to dig up Den Watts and Mark Fowler,

0:05:01 > 0:05:06but they managed to dig up Kathy Beale, who apparently hadn't died.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09I need help here. Kathy Beale had died?

0:05:09 > 0:05:14She died in a car crash, and Ian, remember, who's her son,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17just believed... Well, just left it at that. "Me mum's dead."

0:05:17 > 0:05:24And then suddenly she reappeared after her granddaughter's murder.

0:05:24 > 0:05:29- Good, you've obviously been watching it.- No, I just read it. Pat told me.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33Pat told me that. I was listening to that in the dressing room.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34JEREMY CHUCKLES

0:05:34 > 0:05:38OK, Rhys, who was the first African-American woman to win

0:05:38 > 0:05:41the Academy Award for best actress in a leading role?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Erm, again not one I'm 100% sure on.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53I'm not even sure I know who Dorothy Dandridge is, unfortunately.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56But I know Halle Berry's famously won an Oscar,

0:05:56 > 0:05:58because I can picture her speech.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01And I feel like Oprah Winfrey might have won an Oscar,

0:06:01 > 0:06:03but I think that might be supporting actress.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07So I'll probably go for Halle Berry.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Yes, you are right with Halle Berry.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Dave, which British actor played Jimmy McNulty

0:06:11 > 0:06:14in the US TV series The Wire?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Only one of those actors I associate with The Wire.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23I've got to box-binge one day.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28Not Damian Lewis or Andrew Lincoln, in my opinion. It's Dominic West.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29It is Dominic West. You're quite right.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Did a brilliant American accent. Fantastic series.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35So, Rhys, get this right and you will put Dave under some pressure.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40Which American fashion designer directed the 2009 film

0:06:40 > 0:06:42A Single Man, starring Colin Firth?

0:06:47 > 0:06:51Erm, that's not a film I've heard of, unfortunately.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Erm, so it was probably going to be a stab in the dark with this one.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Tommy Hilfiger seems like the obvious answer,

0:06:57 > 0:06:59so I'll go for Tom Ford.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Ah! You did a swerve there.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06Tommy Hilfiger takes us, of course, into Ali G territory.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Tom Ford is the correct answer. - Excellent.- Well done!

0:07:10 > 0:07:12- So, Dave, pressure on. - Mm-hm.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16What is the actual first name of the actor Charles Dance?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22I've never heard of this at all.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24I can't make a case for any of 'em.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Dirk Dance? Walter Dance? Nelson Dance?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Hm...

0:07:32 > 0:07:34No, I've never heard this.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37I'll go for Nelson, but I've got no idea at all!

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Nelson does sound the best. Nelson Dance.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- But I don't know if it's right. CJ? - None of us know.- Nobody knows?

0:07:45 > 0:07:46- Anyone know here? - No.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- I'd guess Walter.- You think Walter? Walter's the right answer.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Oh, right!- So, Dave, you've been knocked out. Well done, Rhys.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54First round to our Challengers.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58How about that? Well done. You took on an Egghead, emerged triumphant.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Good news for your team, because you will play in the final round.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Both of you, please return.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08So, as it stands, the Maytons have not lost a brain from the final.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10The Eggheads have lost Dave. It's already exciting.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13We've only just started! The next subject for you is Geography.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17So, who would like Geography?

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- So, what do we think for Geography? - You weren't that confident.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22No, I was not keen on geography.

0:08:22 > 0:08:28- I could probably go for it.- Joe or Kat. You're the best travelled.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32I was going to say, yeah, well travelled! Shall I go?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Yeah. - OK. I will go.

0:08:34 > 0:08:39Against which Egghead? Joe against anyone but Dave.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44I think we should go against Lisa. Shall we try Lisa?

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Try Lisa. - OK, we'll go for Lisa.- OK.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Joe from the Maytons versus Lisa from the Eggheads.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Or The Voice, as we know her.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions?

0:08:55 > 0:08:57There's a bit of a coincidence there, Joe,

0:08:57 > 0:09:01because we just had an answer of Nelson in a question,

0:09:01 > 0:09:03- and that is the name of your pet tortoise.- Yep!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06It's named after Nelson Mandela because he's wise

0:09:06 > 0:09:09and named after Usain Bolt because of his speed.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Oh, so it's Nelsain, is it? - Yeah, Nelsain.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16And tell us more about the tortoise. How old is it?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19He's five years old. He's a Horsfield tortoise.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21I got him when he was a baby, but he hasn't grown at all,

0:09:21 > 0:09:24he's still about this size.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Just bigger than a fist.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Let's hope you overtake young Lisa here on Geography.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Would you like to go first or second? - I'll go first.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Joe, good luck. Here's your first question.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Which of these attractions in London is on the banks of the River Thames?

0:09:45 > 0:09:49I work near the British Museum, so I know it's not that.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51I'm not entirely sure where the National Gallery is,

0:09:51 > 0:09:54but I know it's the London Eye, so I'm going to go for the London Eye.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Yeah, the National Gallery is on Trafalgar Square.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58London Eye is the right answer.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Visible for miles and miles and miles.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02OK, Lisa,

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Costa Rica has a coastline on which of these seas?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12OK. Erm...

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Right, well, I think the Sargasso Sea is just sort of a patch

0:10:16 > 0:10:19in the middle of the Atlantic and not a sort of coast of anything.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22I think that's right.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Erm, and I don't actually know where the White Sea is. Erm...

0:10:25 > 0:10:27I'll have to go with the Caribbean Sea.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Caribbean Sea is the right answer. - All right!

0:10:29 > 0:10:32CJ, you were rolling your eyes there. The White Sea is where?

0:10:32 > 0:10:34- North of Russia. - North of Russia.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- And Sargasso Sea is in the Atlantic? - Just a patch in the Atlantic.- Yeah.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Caribbean Sea is the right answer, Lisa. Well done.- Back at you, CJ.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45A lot of eye rolling there! I was telling on him!

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Joe, your question: the Mediterranean island of Delos

0:10:48 > 0:10:50is a part of which country?

0:10:53 > 0:10:54OK...

0:10:54 > 0:10:58Erm, I've never heard of Delos, but based on its name,

0:10:58 > 0:11:03it sounds very Greek to me rather than Italian or Spanish,

0:11:03 > 0:11:05so I would have to go for Greece.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Spot-on! Greece it is.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Lisa, the Devon town

0:11:10 > 0:11:14of Honiton is traditionally famous for which product?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20A fashion question! Now we're talking.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Honiton lace, I believe, so it's lace.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25It is. It's a beautiful place, still, Honiton,

0:11:25 > 0:11:27and lace is the right answer.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30We're cracking on here. My goodness! Two out of two for you both.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Joe, get this right and Lisa may quake.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36In which English county is the Vale of Pewsey?

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Erm, pretty stumped here.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49Erm... I went to Derbyshire on a school trip,

0:11:49 > 0:11:52so fingers crossed it's Derbyshire!

0:11:53 > 0:11:55- It's Wiltshire.- Ah! - Wiltshire.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58So Lisa has a chance to take the round. Here we go.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02The Ural mountains, U-R-A-L, extend through Russia

0:12:02 > 0:12:04and into which other country, Lisa?

0:12:10 > 0:12:13See, you've got a few mountain ranges across Russia that

0:12:13 > 0:12:14extend into different bits.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19I don't think they're as far over as China...

0:12:19 > 0:12:22which would probably mean they're not as far over as Mongolia, either,

0:12:22 > 0:12:26and I'd have to go for Kazakhstan. But let me think for a second.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29SHE SIGHS

0:12:29 > 0:12:33I don't know. OK, let's not reproach myself. First instinct, Kazakhstan.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Kazakhstan is the right answer, Lisa. Well done,

0:12:36 > 0:12:38you are in the final round. Sorry, Joe.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41- It's that third question, isn't it? - Yeah.- It can often trip people up.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44So you have been knocked out. Lisa is still in.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Please come back, rejoin your teams and we'll play round three.

0:12:49 > 0:12:50So it's levelled up now.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52The Maytons have lost one brain from the final round.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56I want to call you "may-tonnes". Sounds more exotic, somehow.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59The "Maytonnes" have lost a brain. The Eggheads have also lost a brain.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02And the next subject, round three, is Politics.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Now, who wants this? We've got a political person here.- No pressure!

0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Ross!- I feel that's our easiest decision to make.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Our Parliamentary researcher. OK. The stakes are high here, Ross.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Who would you like to go against?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Any preferences? - No.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Probably go CJ. - Yeah?- Yeah.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23We'll go CJ.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27- CJ on Politics?- Quite like Politics. - Yeah.- Mm-hm.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29You're very good on presidents, that's true.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31OK, so it is Ross from the Maytons, the Maytonnes,

0:13:31 > 0:13:33versus CJ from the Eggheads on Politics.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38And to ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41So, tell us a bit more about your job, Ross. Parliamentary researcher?

0:13:41 > 0:13:44Er, yes. I work in the House of Commons.

0:13:44 > 0:13:49I focus on doing Treasury-related matters, so MPs and their staff

0:13:49 > 0:13:53can come to me with queries and I'm supposed to be an expert

0:13:53 > 0:13:57- in helping them... er, yeah, understand issues.- OK.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59So you don't work for any particular MP,

0:13:59 > 0:14:02you sort of are part of the Civil Service in the House of Commons.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Yeah, we're kind of a research group that work for a number of MPs.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09And are you working in the actual beautiful building itself?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11I am indeed working in the beautiful building.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14How lucky is that? So, whereabouts? In the library, or what?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17No, it's just off Westminster Hall in the Cloisters, which is

0:14:17 > 0:14:19one of the oldest parts of the building, which is really nice.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22An amazing hall. They said that when they rebuilt the roof,

0:14:22 > 0:14:25they found tennis balls from Henry VIII's time.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Henry VIII, yeah, I believe so, yeah.- The stakes are high now,

0:14:28 > 0:14:31because you're answering questions on the subject in which you work.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33I know that's particularly stressful,

0:14:33 > 0:14:36and against CJ, who has his moments.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39- So, would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first, please.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43So, here we go.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46In which decade, Ross, of the 20th century

0:14:46 > 0:14:51did the Russian intelligence agency called the KGB cease to exist?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Right... Erm...

0:14:59 > 0:15:03I'm definitely not sure on this.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06I don't think it's the 1950s. I think that...

0:15:06 > 0:15:11is too early, so I think it's between 1970s and 1990s. Erm...

0:15:12 > 0:15:14I'm going to go for 1990s.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Absolutely right, because it's after the fall of the Berlin Wall

0:15:17 > 0:15:20and all that in '89. So, yes, you're right, 1990s it is.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22CJ, over to you. An MP who's suspended

0:15:22 > 0:15:26from their political party is said to lose the party what?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32I think they are said to lose the party whip.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35They are indeed said to lose the party whip. You're quite right.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37OK, Ross, back to you.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41The London Assembly was established in 2000 with how many elected

0:15:41 > 0:15:44members, not including the Mayor of London?

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Er, OK, right... The Assembly... Erm...

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Again, I'm not 100% sure on this.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58I think, if I'm picturing it right...

0:15:58 > 0:16:02the London Assembly doesn't have that many members.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04So I would...

0:16:04 > 0:16:05Yeah, I think I'll go with 25.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Absolutely right. Well done. 25.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11CJ...

0:16:11 > 0:16:15Mariano Rajoy became Prime Minister of which country in 2011?

0:16:15 > 0:16:17And Rajoy is R-A-J-O-Y.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Er, and Rajoy is spelt with a J? Is that right?- R-A-J-O-Y.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26I think he's the Prime Minister of Spain.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Spain is the right answer. Well done.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33All right, two each. So, we know from the experience that Joe had,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Ross, that this can be a crucial question, your third question.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40In 2008, which African nation became the first country in the world

0:16:40 > 0:16:43with more women in Parliament than men?

0:16:46 > 0:16:53Ah. I...vaguely remember hearing this on the news at the time. Erm...

0:16:56 > 0:16:59I think it was...

0:16:59 > 0:17:01I think it was Rwanda.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Is he right, CJ?- He is indeed. - Yeah, it is beautiful Rwanda.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Well done.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Getting over their troubles, very slowly.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12OK, CJ, here's your third question.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16Who did Winston Churchill describe as having "the gift of compressing

0:17:16 > 0:17:20"the largest amount of words into the smallest amount of thought"?

0:17:27 > 0:17:28I don't think it sounds like

0:17:28 > 0:17:30something he'd say about Chamberlain.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34I mean, he wasn't a reticent person, Churchill, but...

0:17:34 > 0:17:37maybe that would have been slightly impolite to say about de Gaulle.

0:17:37 > 0:17:38I don't know.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42You're generally ruder about your home politicians, and you're

0:17:42 > 0:17:44generally ruder about those in different parties,

0:17:44 > 0:17:46so I'll try Ramsay MacDonald.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50Yes, you're there. Well done. Ramsay MacDonald it is.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Three out of three for you both, so we go to Sudden Death now, Ross.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56It becomes harder, because I don't give you alternative answers.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58You're playing well. Here we go.

0:17:58 > 0:18:03Which nation was suspended from the G8 forum in March 2014?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Erm, I'm going to go with Russia.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Russia is the right answer.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08CJ...

0:18:08 > 0:18:13October 24th, the day on which the Wall Street Crash of 1929 began,

0:18:13 > 0:18:16became known as Black what?

0:18:16 > 0:18:19I think the stock market in the '80s, in '87, maybe,

0:18:19 > 0:18:23was October 25th, and I think that was Black Thursday.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25I think...

0:18:25 > 0:18:27'29 is Black Monday.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29The day we were looking for in 1929

0:18:29 > 0:18:32- was Black Thursday. - Wrong way round.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Yep, so you have gone, I'm afraid. Ross, well done.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39You've knocked out CJ on Politics.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41And that's good from your point of view

0:18:41 > 0:18:43and bad from the Eggheads' point of view.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Come back to us. We'll play the next round.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Well, this is looking good from the Challengers.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52The Maytons have lost one brain from the final round,

0:18:52 > 0:18:56the Eggheads have lost two. CJ's gone as well!

0:18:56 > 0:18:57The next subject is Music.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Which Mayton wants this?

0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Got to be you, Kat.- I think I'll take this one, shall I?

0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Definitely!- I think that's a no-brainer.- OK. Right.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Kat, I know you love your music. Against which Egghead?

0:19:09 > 0:19:11It can be Pat or Kevin.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Any preferences, guys? - Whoever you feel like.- Your choice.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- I would go with Kevin.- Yeah? I'd like to take on Kevin, please.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20I hope they're all rock questions.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Yeah, so what's the ideal area?- Rock and roll!- Contemporary rock music.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26- OK.- Quite niche! - All right.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29So Kat from the Maytons versus Kevin from the Eggheads,

0:19:29 > 0:19:31and please go to the Question Room.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36So, Kat, you like pretty heavy rock music.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Yeah, erm, I've been into my music for about ten years or so now.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Quite a fan of rock music.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44- Best band ever? - Funeral for a Friend.- OK...

0:19:44 > 0:19:47- That's good... - Pretty niche!

0:19:47 > 0:19:51Kevin, have you dabbled with heavy rock? Have you been in the mosh pit?

0:19:51 > 0:19:54"No, I haven't" is the simple answer to that one. No.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Not really my sort of genre.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01And of course the test of civilisation is how many AC/DC

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- albums you own.- It's probably about one in my case.- Oh, one's not bad!

0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Which one is that?- I think it was Back In Black.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09OK. So, Kat, good luck.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12You're up against somebody who maybe is not as passionate as you are

0:20:12 > 0:20:15about some music. Would you like to go first or second?

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Can I go second, please?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Good luck, Kevin. Good luck, Kat.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23The clarinet is a member

0:20:23 > 0:20:27of which of these families of musical instruments, Kevin?

0:20:30 > 0:20:34Clarinet is a wind instrument, and it's woodwind.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Woodwind is correct.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40Kat, which artist released the albums Erotica

0:20:40 > 0:20:43and Bedtime Stories in the 1990s?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51So, I don't think it's Gary Barlow,

0:20:51 > 0:20:54cos I was a big fan of Take That in the '90s.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57But between the other two I'm not entirely sure.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Erm, I think I'm going to go for Madonna.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Spot-on. Yeah, a bit more edgy than Celine Dion, I think!

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Madonna's right. Right... LAUGHS

0:21:07 > 0:21:11Kevin, the singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen was born in which country?

0:21:16 > 0:21:20I think it was Montreal. Anyway, it's Canada.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24Yes, it is Canada. Well done. OK, back to you, Kat.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27The guitarist Chris Stein was a founder member of which

0:21:27 > 0:21:29chart-topping new-wave group from New York?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Chris Stein...

0:21:35 > 0:21:38The name rings a bell, but...

0:21:38 > 0:21:40I don't entirely know.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43None of those bands I'm particularly into.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44I think...

0:21:46 > 0:21:48..I'm going to go for Beastie Boys.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52It's not, actually, it's Blondie. So, Chris Stein is Blondie.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55That means Kevin is in the lead, and if you get this right, Kevin,

0:21:55 > 0:21:57the round is over.

0:21:57 > 0:22:02Strangeways, Here We Come is the title of a 1987 album by which group?

0:22:06 > 0:22:08I think that's your mates the Smiths.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Oh, I wish they were my mates.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14I don't think he'd give me the time of day. I saw - who was it? -

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Paul Morley interview Morrissey and said, "Nice to see you,"

0:22:17 > 0:22:20to Morrissey, and Morrissey just said, "Why?"

0:22:20 > 0:22:23See, even he doesn't like himself!

0:22:23 > 0:22:28The Smiths is the answer, Kevin. Well done. Three out of three. Sorry, Kat.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30A bit of '80s there, a bit of '90s

0:22:30 > 0:22:33and Kevin has won through, and he will be in the final and you won't.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37If you come back to us, both of you, we will play the crucial final round.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40So, this is what we have been playing towards.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44Time for our final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47But those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be

0:22:47 > 0:22:49allowed to take part in this round. It leaves us well balanced.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54Joe and Kat from the Maytons and CJ and Dave from the Eggheads,

0:22:54 > 0:22:57you have to leave the studio.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03So, Rhys, Joseph and Ross, you are playing to win the Maytons £4,000.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Pat, Lisa and Kevin, you are playing for something that money can't

0:23:06 > 0:23:11buy, which is the whole Eggheads thing - reputation, everything.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Gentlemen, you can confer.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21So, Maytons, the really big question is can your three brains

0:23:21 > 0:23:24overwhelm these three and come away with the money?

0:23:24 > 0:23:28- Would you like to go first or second? - Second?- We agreed to go second.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31We'll go second, because we last a bit longer then.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37And here is your first question, Eggheads.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41In which city did the venue known as the Arms Park hold its first

0:23:41 > 0:23:44rugby international match in 1884?

0:23:47 > 0:23:48Cardiff Arms Park, isn't it?

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Don't think there are Arms Parks in either of the others, so Cardiff.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Cardiff?- Cardiff.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55We think that's Cardiff, Jeremy.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59Cardiff is the right answer. Cardiff it is.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Over to you, Challengers.

0:24:01 > 0:24:06On which part of the body does a Scottish soldier wear a glengarry?

0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Ringing any bells? - I don't actually know that.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'm not sure about this at all.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17The glengarry.

0:24:17 > 0:24:22- Is it glengarry?- Yeah, one word, G-L-E-N-G-A-R-R-Y, as you'd expect.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26So potentially waist could be something to do with the kilt...

0:24:26 > 0:24:28at a guess.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Or...some kind of headwear? - I'd say it's definitely not...

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Let's move away from your feet.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38It's either waist or head, but I'm not sure on either.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'd be more inclined for waist.

0:24:41 > 0:24:46- Yeah. That was my initial thought.- OK, yeah.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50We don't really know, but we're going to go for waist.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53- The waist. So, what, like a kind of a belt thing?- Yes, potentially.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Maybe a tartan belt. Is it a tartan belt?

0:24:56 > 0:24:59- It's a little cap.- Yeah. It's that slightly tilted...

0:24:59 > 0:25:03- Usually with a little...- ..pillbox type of thing.- ..thing on top.- Yeah.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Can you visualise that? - No.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Head is the answer.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Good start(!) - OK, Eggheads,

0:25:12 > 0:25:15noctule and serotine are two of the larger

0:25:15 > 0:25:17types of which creature, found in the UK?

0:25:20 > 0:25:24- Bats.- Yeah, I think so. - Noctule bat, serotine bat.

0:25:24 > 0:25:30- Nothing to do with deer or foxes. So, no.- Yeah?- Yeah, bat.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33We're fairly confident that that's bat.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34It is bat.

0:25:34 > 0:25:39- They've got two, you've got none. You must get this one right.- OK.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44Scheelite and wolframite are the main ores of which metal?

0:25:48 > 0:25:50- I can spell them, if you wish.- That'd be great.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54OK, scheelite is S-C-H-E-E-L-I-T-E

0:25:54 > 0:25:58and wolframite is W-O-L-F-R-A-M-I-T-E.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Got any idea?- Does that help? Doesn't help me!

0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Anyone got any inkling?- So, I know silver doesn't really mix much.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11Wolfralite?

0:26:11 > 0:26:15- And the association with silver for wolves.- Ah, yeah.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18The only inkling that I've got.

0:26:18 > 0:26:19That sounds believable.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Looking at the other two, I don't think it's lead.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25And I wouldn't know the tungsten ores.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29I think wolf's a good hunch to go along, I think.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Shall we go with silver? - Again, this is as tenuous

0:26:32 > 0:26:35a connection as possible, but we're going to go for silver.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39OK, silver. Just explain the wolf thing. I didn't quite get it.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Wolfralite...just the association with silver bullets

0:26:42 > 0:26:44- and shooting wolves. Werewolves. - OK, yeah, yeah, I've got you.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47It's quite a niche clue.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Yeah. I'm just trying to think how...

0:26:49 > 0:26:52whether you can work from those words to the answer.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Can you get from scheelite to something?

0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Wolframite you can, I think. - Wolframite, go on. Why?

0:26:57 > 0:26:59I think wolfram was actually

0:26:59 > 0:27:01an early name for tungsten, because

0:27:01 > 0:27:04the chemical symbol in the periodic table for tungsten is W.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06So I think it might be tungsten.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Oh, it's that beastly periodic table again.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11She's right.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15The answer is tungsten, and so we have to say congratulations,

0:27:15 > 0:27:16Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25So, the deal was the Eggheads can go round to your house

0:27:25 > 0:27:27and take a couple of knife blocks, is that right?

0:27:27 > 0:27:29They get to go to ONE of our houses. As I'm the only one in

0:27:29 > 0:27:32this group that didn't win a round, I think it probably should be mine.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35OK! Well, you can get something, as long as it's under 50 quid.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39- A couple of CDs for Lisa? - I've got some Smiths.- Got any maps?

0:27:39 > 0:27:44- Some Smiths for Lisa.- Ohhh!- That sounds fair to me. Commiserations.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46- I hope you've enjoyed playing. - Yes.

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Come a long way, from Islington to Glasgow, but great to see you all.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55They're back in the swing, big time. They reign supreme over Quizland.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57They are very clever.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £4,000.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01The money now rolls over to our next show,

0:28:01 > 0:28:04and we'll see what happens than. Eggheads, congratulations.
