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.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07You lost two today but, honestly, you look unbeatable.
