0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Their 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- And here you are.- Hello.- Here we are.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Looking pretty colourful and looking like you're ready for a game.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39- Yes, definitely.- Always.- Excellent.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:42 > 0:00:45are "Swots? Not!" from Glasgow.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Now, in forming this quintet, team captain Jeff has called up
0:00:48 > 0:00:50the services of some of his oldest friends,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53people he's quizzed with, someone he went to school with
0:00:53 > 0:00:57and, hopeful of a music round, someone he's been in a choir with.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Interesting. Let's meet them.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Jeff and I have my own jewellery and coin business.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Jennifer. I'm a financial assessor.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Mike and I'm a company director.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Ricky. I'm also a company director.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Alan and I'm a freelance journalist and author.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- So, Jeff and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20So it's all about you, this, Jeff, isn't it, really?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- It's all your friends and contacts and all that?- Absolutely.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- I'm the one that got the team together, yeah.- Well done.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Not far away from where we're recording this.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- No, very local, all of us. - And quizzing, tell us about that.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Yeah, well, we all quiz once a week but Mike, Ricky and I
0:01:36 > 0:01:41have been quizzing for about 20 years, so not a bad pedigree.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44What is it about quizzing that people in this country love?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47The fun of it? I don't know. It's just... It's good fun.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- So good luck.- Thank you. - I hope you have a great game.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:53 > 0:01:55up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01the prize-money rolls over to the next show. So, "Swots? Not!",
0:02:01 > 0:02:03The Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05which means there's £5,000 on the table.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Would you like to play for it? - Yes, please.- Absolutely.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Let's go for it. The first head-to-head battle
0:02:09 > 0:02:13is on the subject of history. Who would like history here?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Not for me.- Alan?- I'd have said Alan. You OK with that? History?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Looks like me then. - I think you're voted.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22OK. Alan, choose an Egghead to go against.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24They're all sitting there expectantly.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Dave? I'll try Dave.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29OK, Dave, the word has got out.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Alan from "Swots? Not!" versus Dave from the Eggheads on History.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37would you please both take your positions
0:02:37 > 0:02:38in our famous Question Room?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44So, everyone on the Challengers' team is connected through Jeff.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Alan, you've got to tell us how you know Jeff.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I sang in a choir with Jeff last year.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52All right. We're on History.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Alan, you can choose, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I'll go second, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your first question.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Which of these historical events took place in 1975?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Right, Suez Crisis...
0:03:14 > 0:03:151956.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22The Berlin Wall, I believe, fell in 1989, I think.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26And the end of the Vietnam War was...
0:03:26 > 0:03:29The peace treaty was signed in '75, so it's the end of the Vietnam War.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Yes, it's the end of the Vietnam War. Exactly.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34OK, Alan, here's a question.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36The weapon known as the bayonet,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38as traditionally used by the British Army,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41is often said to have been named after a city in which country?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Well, I think the town is probably Bayonne,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50which would make it France.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54It indeed is France. France is right.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Over to you, Tremendous Knowledge.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Approximately how many Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy
0:04:02 > 0:04:05on D-Day in June 1944?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17I don't like the look of 821 or 156.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18D-Day... I've got to go...
0:04:20 > 0:04:2235,000.
0:04:22 > 0:04:2435,000. You're way out.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Is it 800? - No, no, no, it's 156.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Oh, right. Sorry. - It was that big.- Yeah, sorry.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34156,000 is the answer, so a bit of an advantage to you here, Alan.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37In which year was the statesman, inventor and writer
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Benjamin Franklin born?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Well, he would be a...
0:04:51 > 0:04:53He'd be grown-up and an adult
0:04:53 > 0:04:57by the time the War of Independence came around,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00so I think I would put him at...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04..1686.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Well, Kevin knows his dates. Kevin?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11- 1706.- 1706 is the answer here, Alan. OK, Dave, your question.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15One point each. Which of these men died in November 1530,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19while travelling south to face charges of treason?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Right. Erm...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31It's not Guy Fawkes. Now then...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33HE LAUGHS
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I should be watching more Wolf Hall
0:05:35 > 0:05:37because it had Cardinal Wolsey and different dates.
0:05:37 > 0:05:391509 to 1547.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43It's just because I don't associate
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Cardinal Wolsey's death with that, so...
0:05:46 > 0:05:48..probably wrongly, I'll go Thomas Cromwell.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- No, it's wrong. It's Cardinal Wolsey.- Right, OK.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53OK, Alan, on to you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58What name is given to the short 1969 war between Honduras and El Salvador?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00If you get this right, you're in the final, Alan.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Oh, yes, I remember this happened when I think there was a crowd riot
0:06:10 > 0:06:13at a football game between the two countries
0:06:13 > 0:06:17and it led to a brief war, so that would make it the Football War.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20If you've got this right, you're in the final. Is he right, Dave?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Yes, of course.- Yes, you are right. Football War it is.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26You knocked Dave out. Alan, you're in the final round.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Where you will probably be
0:06:27 > 0:06:29a very handy player for your team, I suspect.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Please come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36This is good. "Swots? Not!" are in a good position. Lost no brains.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40The Eggheads have lost a brain. And the next subject is Sport.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Who wants this?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Mike.- Mike will do Sport.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Looks like it's me.- OK.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Company director from East Kilbride. Against which Egghead?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Who there looks the least sporty?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Judith?- Judith?
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- OK.- I'll go for Judith, please. - Oh, no.- Sorry, Judith.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00We've had a whole series. Let me just see the face.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- And I've been winning them. - She's been winning them.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09So it's Mike from "Swots? Not!" versus Judith from "Sports? Not!"
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Yes!- How we feel most of the time.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Please go to our Question Room now.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18So, Mike, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Can I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25By all means. Here we go.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27In which year did John McEnroe famously shout,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29AMERICAN ACCENT: "You cannot be serious!",
0:07:29 > 0:07:31at a Wimbledon umpire?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I don't know why but 1975 was the first thought
0:07:39 > 0:07:43that went through my mind, so going on that assumption I'm going to go
0:07:43 > 0:07:46with the one that's nearest and I'll try 1976, please.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:511981 is the answer. HE SIGHS
0:07:51 > 0:07:52It's later than you thought.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55That was the one about "This place is the pits of the world."
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It's all the same thing, SuperBrat, and all that.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00He's mellowed since then.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Judith, your question.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06What is the inside diameter of an NBA basketball hoop?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Well, 18 inches is that, roughly.
0:08:15 > 0:08:1730 is about that,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and 42 is...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22off the screen, so it's got to be 18, hasn't it?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25OK. How much was 30?
0:08:25 > 0:08:2730 would be about that.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Yep.- Is that what it is?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- No, it's 18.- Oh! Phew!
0:08:32 > 0:08:37I just wanted to make sure cos your measurements were...unusual.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Your question, Mike.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41When Gareth Edwards scored what has been described
0:08:41 > 0:08:44as "the try of the century" against the All Blacks
0:08:44 > 0:08:48in January 1973, for which team was he playing?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I'm not too sure about this, to be honest.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I would take a guess...
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I'm going to go for Wales based on nothing, really.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- I'm just going to go down the middle this time.- OK.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Judith, do you know this one?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I would have said Wales too, with all that crowd support.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Yeah, I would have thought so, but Barbarians is the answer here, Mike.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23So, Judith, if you get this one right, you've won on Sport.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28The footballer Philippe Coutinho was born in which country?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Well, that sounds Brazil, Brazilian.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I mean, no, sorry, it sounds Portuguese language.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41It's a Portuguese name, so it could be Brazil or Portugal.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Did you say a date or anything?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- No.- Erm...
0:09:48 > 0:09:51And he's called Filipe?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Philippe Coutinho. P-H-I-L-I-P-P-E.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Philippe Coutinho.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00And it's C-O-U-T-I-N-H-O?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Yes.- Well, there are quite a lot of Portuguese people in France,
0:10:03 > 0:10:04funnily enough.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I think, as he's called Philippe, I'm going to change tack
0:10:08 > 0:10:09and go for France.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Brazil is the answer.- Oh.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15So one point to Judith
0:10:15 > 0:10:17and Mike's still to score in Sport.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Here is your question, Mike.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25In cycling, what is the name of the garment that UCI world champions
0:10:25 > 0:10:26are permitted to wear?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I've got to tell you, Jeremy, I don't have a clue.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Erm...
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I'm going to have to guess this one again.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'm going to go for Tri-tone Jersey.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50It sounds the most logical of the three. I hope I'm right.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Rainbow Jersey is the answer, Mike. Sorry.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57So, Judith, you've won through on Sport.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58With one point.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Well, you still had a question in hand so you can really chalk that up.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05We're beginning to build something here. Well done.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Mike, return to us, please.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Judith, come back and we'll play the next round.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14OK, as it stands, "Swots? Not!" have lost a brain from the final round.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18The Eggheads have also lost a brain. The next subject is Music.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Who would like this? DEEP SIGH
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Is that bad? A big sigh. - I wish I'd maybe hung on now.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Me or you?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- You.- OK. I'll take the Music round, Jeremy.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30OK, team captain Jeff, and which Egghead would you like?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It can't be Dave or Judith.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Erm, I think I'll try Pat for Music.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39So it's Jeff from "Swots? Not!" versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Well, Jeff, you better tell us about the choir.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Yes, I've been in this choir now for ten years.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Big choir, there's over 100 of us, called Sounds International
0:11:55 > 0:11:57and we do charity concerts.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59And in the past six years,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02we have raised close to £70,000 worth for charities.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Oh, how tremendous. You must really enjoy it as well.- Love it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- I love singing.- Music. Jeff, do you want to go first or second?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10I'll go first.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16And here is your first question, Jeff. Good luck.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21"For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught,"
0:12:21 > 0:12:23are lines from which Frank Sinatra song?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Well, I'm not going to sing it but it's definitely not
0:12:32 > 0:12:35New York, New York or Come Fly With Me.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38That is the lyrics to the beautiful My Way.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41It is. My Way is the right answer.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44OK, Pat, what is the name of the central character
0:12:44 > 0:12:46in the stage musical Me and My Girl?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Well, I don't know this musical very well
0:12:54 > 0:12:57but I think I'll get there by elimination.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I think Bill Sikes is the bad man in Oliver.
0:13:00 > 0:13:07Henry Higgins is the linguist and etiquette coach
0:13:07 > 0:13:08in My Fair Lady,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11so I think I'll have to go for Bill Snibson.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Very good. Bill Snibson.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16OK, Jeff, your question.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19The Kanye West single Gold Digger
0:13:19 > 0:13:22incorporates elements of the song I Got a Woman,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25which was originally co-written and recorded by which artist?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Well, again by the process of elimination,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36it's definitely not Billy Joel.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42I don't think it's BB King but from seeing the movie Ray,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I'm sure that was one of the songs, I Got a Woman,
0:13:44 > 0:13:45so I'll go Ray Charles.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49And you're absolutely right, Jeff. Ray Charles.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Pat, Living For Love
0:13:50 > 0:13:53was a UK hit single for which singer in 2015?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Well, the least likely appears to be Prince, so I'll dismiss him.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03It could be Emeli Sande.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09I think I'll have to go for Madonna but slightly concerned here.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Yes, you got it right, Pat. Well done. Madonna it is.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Sorry you can't shake him off, Jeff. It's always difficult with Pat.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18So here is your third question.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Awarded to a promising artist due to release their first album in 2015,
0:14:23 > 0:14:29which singer-songwriter won the 2015 Critics Choice Brit Award?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I can honestly say I've never heard of any of the three.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I don't know why, if it's something I've read,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47but the name that's jumping out at me of the three of them
0:14:47 > 0:14:50is Years and Years.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52So I'll take a guess at that.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- This is James Bay, Jeff. - Never heard of him.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00But Years and Years are breaking through in the same way.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04I know that's no consolation. OK, Pat, your question to take the round,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06what was the last opera to be written by Mozart?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- The last opera.- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It was The Magic Flute.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27I think the distinction of the last Mozart composition
0:15:27 > 0:15:30is generally either the Requiem or The Magic Flute,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33and it depends on how you look at these things.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I think The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni
0:15:35 > 0:15:39were during the core part of his career.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40It must be the Magic Flute, surely.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Yes, I'll have to go for The Magic Flute.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Yes, you're right. You got all three answers correct.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I'm very sorry, Jeff, he's knocked you out there.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Pat will be in the final and, sadly, you won't.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Please return to us and we will play the fourth round.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Bad luck, Jeff. What was it that caused the trouble?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Current music.- Current music?- Mm-hm.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Cos as a choir person you've got a better handle on the...?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- I love the standards.- The classics?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12The classics, the standards, but anything current I'm hopeless with.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Your team has lost two brains.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17The Eggheads have lost just the one brain
0:16:17 > 0:16:20and the last subject before final is Science.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22- OK.- Is that you, Jennifer?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- It is, yes.- Jennifer.- OK.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29- A financial assessor. And which Egghead, Lisa or Kevin?- Lisa.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I'm looking at Lisa. She's smiling. I think that's to put us off.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37- She's smiling winningly. You're so right.- Only to stop myself crying.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39It's how we get through the day.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41So, Jennifer from "Swots? Not!" versus Lisa.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- OK, good luck here, Jennifer, against Lisa.- Thank you.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52And would you like to go first or second?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53I'll go second, please.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Here we go, Lisa, your first question.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Brent Crude is a trading classification
0:17:02 > 0:17:04of which type of fossil fuel?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Brent Crude.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Oh, the off-colour jokes I could probably make and won't.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I'll just go straight for oil.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Oil is correct.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20OK, Jennifer, which of these sea creatures
0:17:20 > 0:17:22is the largest member of the dolphin family?
0:17:28 > 0:17:33Well, I'm pretty sure it won't be killer whale,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36but it is a guess, so I'm going to go for manatee.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Do you know this, Lisa?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- I think it is the killer whale. - It's a type of dolphin, is it?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Yeah, the biggest dolphin, I think. They're big fellows.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Killer whale is right. SHE GASPS
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Sorry, Jennifer.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50You got it wrong. Not manatee.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55OK, Lisa, pure water has a score very close to what on the pH scale?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04I think pure water is pH neutral or we would be suffering greatly
0:18:04 > 0:18:07when we drank it, so it must be 7.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11You're right. That's exactly where pH neutral is, so 7 is the answer.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Cracking on here. Jennifer, you've got to hold back the tide.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Freon is a name given to several organic compounds
0:18:19 > 0:18:22typically used in what type of household device?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Freon is F-R-E-O-N, Jennifer.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30OK.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36I'm pretty certain it's not a vacuum cleaner and I'm going to go...
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Between the other two, I'm going to go for refrigerator.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Excellent, you're right. Refrigerator it is. Well done. A point to you.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46But, Lisa, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49What name is given to animals at the top of the food chain
0:18:49 > 0:18:52that are not preyed upon by any other creature?
0:18:59 > 0:19:04So the Kevin Ashmans and the Pat Gibsons of the eating world.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I think they must be Apex predators.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11You said the eating world, did you mean the quizzing world?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Well, that's where you'd put Mr Ashman and Mr Gibson
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- in the quizzing world, certainly. - Right, yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The answer is Apex predators. Well done, Lisa. Three out of three.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Sorry, Jennifer, cos you let her go first
0:19:21 > 0:19:24she has taken the round and taken the initiative
0:19:24 > 0:19:28and the Eggheads may have the edge in the final, but let's see.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Please, both of you, return and we'll play it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36It is time for the final round.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38As always, it's General Knowledge
0:19:38 > 0:19:40but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:40 > 0:19:42won't be allowed to take part in this round
0:19:42 > 0:19:45so, Jeff, Jennifer and Mike from "Swots? Not!",
0:19:45 > 0:19:47and also Dave from the Eggheads,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Well done, Ricky and Alan, for getting to this point.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57You're now playing to win "Swots? Not!" £5,000.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Pat, Lisa, Kevin, Judith, you're playing for something
0:19:59 > 0:20:04that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:20:09 > 0:20:11and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12So, "Swots? Not!" the question is,
0:20:12 > 0:20:17are you able with your two brains to defeat these four?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well, we'll take our chances going first, Jeremy. Thank you.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26So, here we go and good luck to you
0:20:26 > 0:20:28with your first question.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Ricky and Alan, which of these TV soaps celebrated
0:20:32 > 0:20:35its 30-year anniversary in early 2015?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44OK, it can't possibly be Coronation Street cos that's older.
0:20:44 > 0:20:461985, Jeremy?
0:20:46 > 0:20:51Which of these TV soaps celebrated its 30-year anniversary
0:20:51 > 0:20:53in early 2015?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Definitely Emmerdale or EastEnders. I'd go for EastEnders.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- Yeah, they've had specials and so on.- OK, we'll go... EastEnders?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- EastEnders, yeah. - We'll go for EastEnders, Jeremy.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07EastEnders is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Next question to the Eggheads.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Which of these characters from Greek mythology was famous
0:21:11 > 0:21:13for his musical skill,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17and is traditionally said to be the son of a muse?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Orpheus.- Orpheus was famous for his musical ability, wasn't he?- Yeah.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27The other two...
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Whilst Achilles had musical connections, the other two,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Achilles and Heracles were most famous as warriors.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37The one who was particularly noted for his musical skill was Orpheus.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Because he played the harp, did he?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- The lyre.- The lyre.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Orpheus is the right answer. - Orpheus and his lute.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48OK.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I was willing them to get that one wrong
0:21:51 > 0:21:53cos I think that would have really helped.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Your second question.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Which of the Beatles had a UK number two single in 1987
0:21:58 > 0:22:00with Got My Mind Set on You?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Definitely George Harrison.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Definitely George Harrison, Jeremy.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It is definitely George Harrison.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Well done. Two out of two.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Playing well. Eggheads, what type of clothing is a mantle?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- It's a cloak.- Cloak. Yep. M-A-N-T-L-E?- M-A-N-T-L-E.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- It's a cloak.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29That's a type of cloak.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Cloak is correct.
0:22:31 > 0:22:342 - 2. Oh, I'm feeling the tension here.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36£5,000 we're playing for.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39No-one has made a mistake in the last round so far.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40And your third question.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Get this right, you may not have to do anything else to win the money.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47What name is typically given to silver-coloured alloys of gold
0:22:47 > 0:22:50with nickel, platinum or another metal?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Definitely not fool's gold. - No.- That's something else.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01So it's one of the other two.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I know... I've heard of white gold, but...
0:23:04 > 0:23:07White gold, actually, I thought would be platinum.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Jeremy, would you mind just repeating it, please?- Sure.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15What name is typically given to silver-coloured alloys of gold
0:23:15 > 0:23:19with nickel, platinum or another metal?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Platinum is normally white gold, isn't it?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I don't know about nickel or...
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- And to be honest, I've never heard of colloidal gold.- No.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Well, if platinum is part of white gold...
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- I'd normally know platinum as white gold.- Yes.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Shall we go for white gold, then? - White gold?- White gold.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39For better or worse, we'll go for white gold.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Are they right?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Yes.- Richer for poorer. - Yes, you are right, you are right.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47White gold it is. Three out of three.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Storming play. You just pulled it out at the right moment.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53OK, Eggheads.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59Which economist wrote the influential 1958 book The Affluent Society?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Galbraith.- Galbraith. - Galbraith, yeah.- Yeah.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- Always double check - 1958, Affluent Society?- Yes.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13That's JK Galbraith.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16JK Galbraith is correct.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20OK, so, three out of three for both of you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Long line of green ticks, which means we go to Sudden Death, guys.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Gets a bit harder cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Here we go. £5,000, we're playing for.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33What type of window, typically one that projects vertically from
0:24:33 > 0:24:37a sloping roof, takes its name from the French word meaning "to sleep"?
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Well, dormer, French for sleep. So got to be dormer.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Dormer, Jeremy.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Dormer window is correct.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Eggheads, to stay in.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54The Watts Riots of 1965 took place in a neighbourhood
0:24:54 > 0:24:56of which American city?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Los Angeles.- Los Angeles, yeah.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00That's Los Angeles.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03It is Los Angeles. The year I was born.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Sudden Death.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Back to you, Alan and Ricky.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Which London Tube station was originally called Gillespie Road?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Do you know anything about London?
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- I don't know, I've never heard of that.- Neither have I.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Total guess.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Gillespie Road.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Does that ring any bells?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Nope.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31And why would one be renamed something else?
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Yeah, that's a point.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Why would one be renamed at all?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I don't think something like King's Cross, St Pancras
0:25:37 > 0:25:40or something like that, because they're...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Erm...- Total guess. Erm...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- The ones along the city embankments. - Bank?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50They're, erm, they're older lines.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Yeah.- Could be one of them, anyway.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56What about something right in the middle?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Piccadilly or something like that.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01No, I think that's probably...
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Circus, because there's more than one of them.- Yes, but there's...
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Oh, yeah.- Right in the middle like that, that's pretty central.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Piccadilly Circus?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Leicester Square? Again, right in the middle.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- We've got to pick one, Alan. - OK, Leicester Square, then.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- Leicester Square?- Or Piccadilly. What do you think?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Shall we go for the first one I came up with?- OK, Piccadilly Circus.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26It's a complete guess - Piccadilly Circus.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Piccadilly Circus. A hard question.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I mean, I spend a lot of time in London, I didn't know this one.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I'm just wondering if there's any way of getting to it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Before you say it, if you know it,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38how many Tube stations are there, Eggs?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- About 200 and something. - Really? That many?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42I'm not certain.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- You can get to it...- Lisa, help us.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45You can get to it if you're on the line.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I used to live on the Northern Piccadilly Line and it's actually
0:26:49 > 0:26:51a ceramic sign still embedded into the wall of the station,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55so every time you go past you can see it under the standard sign.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56And it was changed...
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Why was it changed from Gillespie to the new name, before you say it?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Now, that I couldn't tell you.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Successful lobbying with an eye to publicity.- I see, OK.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06The answer is Arsenal.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Oh.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09So, essentially, it's...
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I suppose it would be like Fulham Broadway changes its name to Chelsea.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Yeah, in a way, yeah.- Which is the nearest to Chelsea Football Club.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20It was essentially clever marketing by...I think it was Herbert Chapman,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- who was the great Arsenal manager of the interwar years.- Yeah.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28And it was just successful lobbying with what was then
0:27:28 > 0:27:32London Underground to get the name changed to advertise
0:27:32 > 0:27:35the fact that the stadium was nearby.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37So problem there for our Challengers -
0:27:37 > 0:27:39not the end of the contest.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43It's your question now and here it is.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45The Men Who Stare At Goats
0:27:45 > 0:27:49and The Psychopath Test are books by which British author?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Jon Ronson.- Jon Ronson. - I don't know.- Yeah, Jon Ronson.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Erm, the journalist and writer Jon Ronson.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00If you've got it right the contest is over.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01The answer is Jon Ronson.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15- Arsenal, Arsenal.- A toughie! - What can I say? What can I say?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- But well played. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20And thanks for coming in and playing. Commiserations to "Swots? Not!".
0:28:20 > 0:28:22The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:22 > 0:28:25and they reign supreme over quiz land still.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27It means you won't be going home with the £5,000,
0:28:27 > 0:28:31so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Knowing the Arsenal thing as well, that's impressive stuff.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Who will beat you, I wonder?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see
0:28:37 > 0:28:40if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41£6,000 says they don't.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Good contest today. See you next time. Goodbye.
