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 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain, if not the world.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- They are the Eggheads, and here you are.- Hi.- Hi, Jeremy.- Sounding feisty.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Let's see how they play.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths
0:00:38 > 0:00:40today are the Dinosaurs.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42This team of friends all met whilst playing
0:00:42 > 0:00:45rugby at university in Newcastle.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Their name comes from team captain Ben, who is from the same
0:00:48 > 0:00:52area as Richard Owen, the man who coined the word dinosaur.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- Let's meet them.- Hello, my name is Ben, and I'm a doctor.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, my name is Jamie, I'm a mortgage broker.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, my name is James, and I'm an investment manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hi, my name is PJ, and I'm an area manager.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm John, and I'm a wedding singer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So, Ben, team, welcome.- Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12So, help us with the word dinosaur, then, it was coined in your village?
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Well, in Lancaster, the city where I'm from, Richard Owen... I went
0:01:17 > 0:01:20to school with him, he was about 150 years above me.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21JEREMY LAUGHS
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And he came up with the word.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26He was a bit of a controversial scientist of his time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And we now have a pub named after him in Lancaster.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30OK, do we know much about Richard Owen?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Well, as Ben said, he was a controversial character,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35he didn't get on very well with his peers necessarily.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And why did he coin the word dinosaur?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40What was the thinking behind that?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Well, dinosaur fossils were a relatively recent discovery,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47they had been being discovered for some time, but putting them together
0:01:47 > 0:01:52as a new class of creature was only around about the time he was active.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54He was a good publicist,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59and he came up with this "terrible lizard" from the Greek, "dinosaur".
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- And that was the one that stuck. - Can you give us his dates, Kevin?
0:02:03 > 0:02:09It is something like 1804-72, or something like that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- But I'm not...- 180...- Four.- Yeah, you're absolutely right.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I think... Yes...
0:02:15 > 0:02:19He didn't know you were going to say all that. 1804-72. I think it is 92.
0:02:19 > 0:02:2192, he was even longer lived.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23But 1804, you are bang on with, there we go.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- That's what you are up against. - What year was he at my school?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28He could probably tell you that, as well.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30You could probably work it out, actually.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32So, we've basically got a collection of people here who
0:02:32 > 0:02:35met at University of Newcastle, and then have gone...
0:02:35 > 0:02:38You said London down the end, you're near Lancaster, and so on.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- All round the country, still friends, still quizzing.- That's right.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42All right. Good luck.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:44 > 0:02:45up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53So, Dinosaurs, the Eggheads are well into their stride at the moment.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56They are striding around the earth like dinosaurs.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00They've won the last five games. That means there's £6,000 to win today.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- I hope you are pleased you came. Do you want to start?- Let's go.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07OK, first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Who would like this?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- It is going to be you, PJ.- I think I will take it, Jeremy.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16- OK, so, PJ, who would you like to play against?- Lisa.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- I think I will take on Lisa.- OK.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22So, PJ from the Dinosaurs versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26They're just somehow sensing the geographical issue here.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Yes, thank you for bringing that up, it always makes me
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- feel better before I play a round. - OK, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Lisa, we had a look at your stats on Geography.- Oh, please don't.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42No, just because it just helps us know when you are getting better.
0:03:42 > 0:03:4620 rounds on Geography you have done. So you have been busy. You've won 12.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49That's actually not as disastrous as I would have thought.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- So that means you've had eight questions on Australia.- Yes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54THEY LAUGH
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- And what was your dinosaur song? - How does it go?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00# I walk the dinosaur
0:04:00 > 0:04:03# I walk the dinosaur! #
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Two, three, four.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08# Open the doors, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur... #
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- You know, that one. - We know this, we know this.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- You've heard this, PJ, haven't you? - I must be honest, I haven't.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15THEY LAUGH
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Well, that's ruined it. So, Geography, PJ.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And would you like to go first or second?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Here is your first question, good luck, PJ.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31In which country is the coastal town of Porthmadog? Is that...
0:04:33 > 0:04:39I've not been there, but I'm pretty sure it is not Scotland.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I'm pretty sure it is not England, so I'm going to go with Wales.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Wales is the correct answer. Porthmadog.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48OK. Lisa.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Ataturk Airport is the main international airport
0:04:51 > 0:04:53serving which city?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Kemal Ataturk was the boss man in Turkey for a long time.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I've probably even flown... Oh, hang on, I haven't flown in there
0:05:01 > 0:05:03because I flew in the budget airport.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05But I think it must Istanbul.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Istanbul is correct. So, one each.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Which of these cities, PJ, is the capital of Malaysia? Is it...
0:05:16 > 0:05:19It's definitely not Kathmandu.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I'm pretty sure it is Kuala Lumpur.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25It is Kuala Lumpur, well done. Now, Jakarta is Indonesia.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Which one is Kathmandu? Anyone. - Nepal.- Nepal.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Lisa, back to you.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Hunan is one of the provinces of which country?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Hunan. H-U-N-A-N.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41See, the great advantage about things like this is that all
0:05:41 > 0:05:44the provinces have different types of cooking, and as we know,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I get all my geography from novels, fashion and food.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49So, what do you have? You have Szechuan cuisine.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53And you do actually have Hunanese cuisine from China.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55China is the right answer. Well done.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So, back to you, PJ.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01The Grand Teton National Park is in which US state?
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Is it...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Right.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I have been to America a couple of times, but I've not heard of it.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I'm trying to think what's... Nothing is springing to mind.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19So, no real logic behind it, but I'm going to go with Wyoming.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Wyoming is the answer. HE LAUGHS
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Wyoming is correct, you've got three out of three.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27We go back to you, Lisa. To stay in now.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Which is the largest of the Mariana Islands? Is it...
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Right, Marianas. Where are the Marianas?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41And what might they be called? I don't know.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I like the sound of Saipan best, so we will go for Saipan.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Guam is the answer, Lisa.- That's all right.- You've gone. There we are.
0:06:51 > 0:06:5412 out of 21. PJ, you are in the final round, well done.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Nice answer on Wyoming. Puts you in our final.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Both of you, please return and we'll play on.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Well, the Dinosaurs are walking the earth again. How about that?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07They are roaring at the Eggheads here, they've lost no brains
0:07:07 > 0:07:11from the final round. The Eggheads have lost Lisa, "the voice" has gone.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Extinct. - The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- So, which Dinosaur would like this? - John.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Who is the reader?- John.- OK.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- John.- Yeah.- Our wedding singer. OK.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Against which Egghead, John?- Dave. - Dave.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- OK, I'll go Dave. - We'll go with Dave.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Although we did see him reading a book before.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I've seen that book, as well.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38So, John from the Dinosaurs versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- What was the book, Dave? - I can't remember.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46You've chosen the right guy. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49So, John, you're a wedding singer.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Correct. I sang for a friend's 21st birthday
0:07:53 > 0:07:56about ten years ago and it's kind of snowballed from that.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58How marvellous.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Do you do the thing when you pretend to be a waiter who's gone rogue?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Sadly not, no. I've seen that happen, it's quite impressive.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06It is funny, yeah, because people start saying, "What's going on?!"
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- "The waiter's gone crazy!" - Yeah, exactly.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10What's your favourite song to sing?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It's Gloria by Van Morrison.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Give us a bar of that so we can just remember it.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Ha-ha, you're pushing me now.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I said to myself I wasn't going to sing.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- But it kind of goes... - Come on, Lisa's always singing.
0:08:25 > 0:08:33# And her name is G-L-O-R-I-A
0:08:33 > 0:08:35# G-L-O-R-I-A
0:08:35 > 0:08:37# Gloria... #
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Yeah! Got it. We love that song, Dave, don't we?- Yes, we do.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42We should have got Lisa in the booth with you
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- and you could have done a duet. - Next time, yeah.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47OK, Arts and Books, John. Not a lot of music here.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- Would you like to go first or second? - I will go first, please.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Here is your first question.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59James Boswell's 1785
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Journal Of A Tour To The Hebrides
0:09:02 > 0:09:05is an account of a trip he made 12 years earlier
0:09:05 > 0:09:07accompanying which literary figure?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Let me read it again.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16James Boswell's 1785
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Journal Of A Tour To The Hebrides
0:09:18 > 0:09:21is an account of a trip he made 12 years earlier
0:09:21 > 0:09:24accompanying which literary figure?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I must say, I don't know the answer.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'm going to go for Samuel Johnson.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33You're absolutely right.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Samuel Johnson is the right answer. Well done.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38OK, Dave, your question.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Which of these painters is classed as a postimpressionist?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Well, it's not da Vinci. I'm not happy with this at all.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I shouldn't be struggling with this at all.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It's just a brain freeze.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I've got to go with Vincent van Gogh but, yeah, I'm not happy
0:09:59 > 0:10:01with it at all.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Yeah, you are right. Van Gogh is the right answer, Dave.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06You got there. Well done.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Your question, wedding singer John.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13An oil canvas entitled Tesco Value Tomato Soup, which sold at auction
0:10:13 > 0:10:19for nearly £120,000 in October 2008 is a work by which artist?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I don't associate that kind of thing with David Hockney's work.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32I don't associate it with Tracey Emin, either.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34So I'm going to go with Banksy.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Banksy is quite right. Well done.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Well done.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39So, Dave, your question.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43"The child is father of the man" is a well-known line
0:10:43 > 0:10:45from the poem My Heart Leaps Up by which author?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I don't know this.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I'm not going to go Geoffrey Chaucer.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I'm not going to go William Wordsworth.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00It's drawing me to Philip Larkin.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02It's not really his style.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- It's William Wordsworth.- OK.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06So you have a chance now, John.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Get this one right and you are in the final round as well.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12You've got two in the final if you get this right.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Which writer was born Cecily Isabel Fairfield,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18but at the age of 19 named herself
0:11:18 > 0:11:20after a character in Henrik Ibsen's play
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Rosmersholm?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I don't really know this.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32For some reason I just associate Virginia Woolf with having
0:11:32 > 0:11:35a different name to what she was born with.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37So I'll go with Virginia Woolf.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39She comes up a lot in our quizzes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Is she the right answer? Is she, Eggs?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Who's the right answer? - Rebecca West.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45- Rebecca West is the right answer here.- OK.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:11:49 > 0:11:53to stay in, which of these authors became a US citizen in 1955?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's not Golding.
0:11:59 > 0:12:06PG Wodehouse, I associate him being linked to the left of centre,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10possibly having problems with America.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14I've got to go TS Eliot, but I have got a nagging feeling
0:12:14 > 0:12:17that PG Wodehouse has got something to do with America.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19But TS Eliot's my answer.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- PG Wodehouse is the answer. - Yes.- So well done,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26John, you've done it, you're in the final round. You've knocked out Dave.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Wow!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31You'll join us in the final. Dave has been knocked out.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35This is getting lively. The Eggheads are quaking a bit.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Please come back and join your teams.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41So the Dinosaurs are doing really well, lost no brains.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42HE ROARS
0:12:42 > 0:12:45That's what you need. It's like Yohan Blake in the Olympics.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46HE ROARS
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The Eggheads have lost two brains.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50That's what happened to you, Eggheads.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52The next subject is Music.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Who's going to bestride the Eggheads on this one?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56- I'll take it.- James.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00James, our investment manager, against which Egghead?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02This could be a crucial round, round three.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Kevin?- I'll play Kevin, please.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09OK, Kevin, the kingpin, I think we've agreed.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11We need a nickname.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You're still working on that, OK.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- We are working on a nickname, yeah. - OK, right.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- What do you think?- The King.- We'll go with the King. King Kevin.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21James from the Dinosaurs versus King Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Please go to our Question Room.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27James, you're playing Kevin. Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Here is your first question.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36"This hit, that ice-cold, Michelle Pfeiffer,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39"that white gold"
0:13:39 > 0:13:41are the opening words of which UK hit single?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I'm not too sure about this one, to be honest, Jeremy.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I don't think it's All About That Bass.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Or Stay With Me. I will go with Uptown Funk.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Yes, successful song, didn't know those were the words,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Michelle Pfeiffer must love that.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You are right, Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars and...?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Well, Mark Ronson was the producer on it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Apparently it was the hardest song he has ever produced.- Mark Ronson.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Yeah.- OK, Kevin. The folk song On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at
0:14:14 > 0:14:17is often said to be the unofficial anthem of which part of the UK?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Given our strong Yorkshire connections on the Eggheads team,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- I'd better get this one right. It's Yorkshire.- It is.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31In other words, on Ilkley Moor without a hat.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Yes, although there are bars in Ilkley called Baht 'at.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40OK, James, what was the title of Alanis Morissette's 1998 album,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43her follow-up to the hugely successful Jagged Little Pill?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I think I had her first album when I was a lot younger
0:14:53 > 0:14:57but I don't remember her second album.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I am going to go down the left again and go
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. It kind of rings a bell.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Yes, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is the right answer.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Very hard to follow up that album, I should think,
0:15:08 > 0:15:09because it was so great.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Kevin, which of these is a work by the composer Chopin?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Brandenburg Concertos was JS Bach.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Rhapsody In Blue was George Gershwin.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23It's The Minute Waltz.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27It is The Minute Waltz. Well done. Very surefooted play by Kevin.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30James, see if you can unsettle him with your third question.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33It can be a turning point in the game, this.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36In which year did the composer Johannes Brahms die?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I have no idea again on this one, Jeremy, I'm afraid.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48It is going to be a complete guess.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49I am going to 1897.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Kevin will know this. Kevin? - Yep, it's right.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- What year was he born?- 1833.
0:15:56 > 0:15:581833. He knows all the dates.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Ridiculous.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It is ridiculous. 1897 is correct. You've got three out of three, James.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Let's see if Kevin comes unstuck here.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Kevin, who had hits in the 1980s with Gloria and Self Control?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I don't know, unfortunately. I don't think it's Toni Basil.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I honestly don't know. It's between the other two.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31There've been more than one song called Gloria.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Gloria...
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I can't choose. I'll say Pat Benatar.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Oh, no!
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Dave, you'll know.- Yeah, unfortunately it's Laura Branigan.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Laura Branigan. You got it wrong, Kevin.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45You've been knocked out on Music.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48The King has been eaten by the Dinosaur.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49HE ROARS
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Well, this is looking interesting now.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55James, well done, you took on an Egghead and you survived.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59You will be in the final. Please return and rejoin your teammates.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Well, well, well, we had a game recently
0:17:03 > 0:17:05when the Eggheads were reduced to one and it was Dave.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I can't believe it's going to happen again. It vary really happens.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13As it stands, the Dinosaurs have won all three of their rounds
0:17:13 > 0:17:15and the Eggheads have lost all three.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Three Egghead brains have gone.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19The last subject before the final is Sport.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Who would like sport? - Nobody would like sport.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26You want to look over that side
0:17:26 > 0:17:28because it's the same emotion there, I'm sure.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32I'm going to have to do it.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36OK, Ben our doctor against either Chris or Judith.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38We'll take Judith.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40THEY CONFER
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Really, I thought he was good, as well? We'll take Chris.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45We'll take Chris. I've changed my mind.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48You can go off people, you know?!
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- You stand by your first decision. - I spoke highly of you before.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Unless it's about a team I've played for, I'm not going to get it.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57You don't want to do sport, then?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I know very, very little about sport.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I used to like sport when I was 11.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- OK.- And unless it's about a team I played for,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07like my five-a-side team, I'm not going to know the answer.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- Have you not got a sports person on the team?- Yeah, us three.- Oh, I see.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Ah, so this might be promising, Chris.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Yeah, I'm coming round to the idea.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'm thinking, "Excellent!"
0:18:19 > 0:18:23So, Ben from Dinosaurs versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Is this the turning point?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33So, our doctor from Brookhouse in Lancashire
0:18:33 > 0:18:36against our former train driver, on Sport.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Neither of you, particularly, sport is your hottest thing.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Ben, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Here we go with your first question, Ben.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Teams from Ireland, Italy, Scotland and which other country
0:18:51 > 0:18:56compete in the annual rugby union competition known as the PRO12?
0:18:59 > 0:19:04I mean, rugby is basically the only sport that I get involved with,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I play a lot of rugby.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12And, shamefully, I've not heard of the PRO12.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Romania is like an upcoming rugby nation, they don't play much rugby.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Fiji are very good, Wales are very good.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I'm going to go for Wales
0:19:25 > 0:19:29because it's closer than Fiji to the other countries.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Wales is the right answer.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Chris, over to you.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Which football team did the French international Samir Nasri
0:19:36 > 0:19:38join in 2011?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Well, I don't think it was Reading.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46They don't tend to sign many internationals.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I don't think it would have been Sunderland, either -
0:19:49 > 0:19:52they're not very internationally minded, either.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55But, with all due apologies to Dave, I'll say Manchester City.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Dave accepts the apologies. You got the answer right. Man City.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03I'll check with Dave. Sunderland, Reading don't sign internationals?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05They sign plenty of internationals. Yeah.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08They're not necessarily expensive internationals, Chris.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- It just means they come from other countries.- Yeah, I know.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14But football runs on money these days.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I'm not going to have any arguments with Chris today.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17It's too frightening.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Ben.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Which athlete was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 1968?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34So, it was Torvill and Dean in 1984.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39And that's as far as my knowledge goes.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I haven't let myself down.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I told you I was going to be awful at sport.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48And I don't know the answer.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I'm going to go with the first one, Brendan Foster.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Brendan Foster is wrong.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Chris, you'll know this.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Alan Wells, was it? - No. David Hemery.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01David Hemery is the right answer.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04OK, Chris, your question to take the lead.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Maybe the Eggheads are on the turn.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Which West Indian cricketer scored a record 215 against Zimbabwe
0:21:11 > 0:21:14in the 2015 Cricket World Cup?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Straight down the middle, Chris Gayle.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Chris Gayle is the right answer.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Well done, Chris. - So, Chris is in the lead here.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Ben, you need to get this right to stay in.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37The support of jai alai - it's J-A-I and then A-L-A-I -
0:21:37 > 0:21:41reportedly developed from a game played in which part of the world?
0:21:49 > 0:21:54I'm... It's not a sport I ever took up. We didn't have it at school.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Maybe they did it in Rich and Owen's day.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58But not when I was there.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I'm going to go for...
0:22:02 > 0:22:03..Basque Country.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Let's see, Eggheads, is he right?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Yes.- Yes, you are right with the Basque Country,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12so you're still in it. OK.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15It's going to be fun if we go to Sudden Death in this round.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Chris, if you get this right, you are in the final round with Judith.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Roscoe Tanner was a leading name in which sport in the 1970s?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Roscoe Tanner played tennis.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Yes, he was some sort of oil millionaire
0:22:35 > 0:22:38who had a very big serve at Wimbledon.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I remember that and he was in a lot of face-to-face contests with
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Jimmy Connors and Bjorn Borg. Roscoe Tanner was a tennis player.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Chris, you've won a Sports round. - Ha-ha!
0:22:47 > 0:22:51That's a lovely noise. And you will be in the final,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53and Judith will not be alone in the final,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56and if you come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59So, are the Eggheads starting to fight back?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Well, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04It's the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:07 > 0:23:09won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Ben from Dinosaurs and also Lisa, Dave and Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20So, Jamie, James, Paul and John,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23you're playing to win the Dinosaurs £6,000.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Judith and Chris, you are playing for something which money can't buy -
0:23:26 > 0:23:29the Eggheads' reputation, and to keep this run of yours going.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36You are allowed to confer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38So, Dinosaurs, the question is,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41can your four brains beat the Eggheads' two?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51OK, General Knowledge, Jamie and team, here we go.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55In the 1950s, Jimmy Hoffa became the president of which union?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Does anyone have any idea? - Never heard of Jimmy Hoffa.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- I'm thinking, for some reason... In the 1950s?- In the 1950s.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I'm thinking it's probably the steelworkers.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Why?- Because that's at the time when the Americans were trying to
0:24:14 > 0:24:17reform the unions and he's probably someone that was...
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- What's Teamsters?- I don't know.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- My gut would be to go for steelworkers.- OK, go for it.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Let's go for that.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28We don't know the answer,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31but we are going to go for United Steelworkers.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33It's the wrong answer.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36It's quite a famous thing - not to make you feel worse about it -
0:24:36 > 0:24:41because I do believe the Teamsters had huge Mafia influences.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Is that right?- That is correct, yes. - And so it became
0:24:43 > 0:24:47all tied up with politics and it was all very, very sleazy.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48He disappeared.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- He disappeared, did he?- Jimmy Hoffa did. Yeah, never found his body.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Teamsters is the answer.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58OK, well, we hope we find yours, Eggheads, at the end of this.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03- So do we.- Not been eaten up by Dinosaurs. Here's your question.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05What name can be given to a novel
0:25:05 > 0:25:09in which real people or events appear with invented names?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Roman-a-clef.- Yes. It's a roman-a-clef.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19You said "roman-a-cleff".
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Or "a-cle", I don't know, I can never remember.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23But you are our French speaker.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27I know, and I can never remember whether you include the Fs or not.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Roman-a-clef is the right answer.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33So, they've got one and you've got none.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Maybe you're missing the Doc.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- I think he might have got the Teamsters, you know.- I'm not sure.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43Which of these Formula One drivers never won the world title?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- Jackie Stewart definitely did. - I think it's Stirling Moss.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51I think Stirling Moss.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55I think Stirling Moss is classed as the best driver
0:25:55 > 0:25:58to never to win the championship, I think.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Jackie Stewart definitely did.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Jim Clark? - I'm happy with that.- Stirling Moss?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05We are going to go with Stirling Moss.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08The correct answer is Stirling Moss, well done.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10So, Eggheads, your second question.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15The dissident writer Georgi Markov, who died in London in 1978,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17was born in which country?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- He's Bulgarian.- He's Bulgarian.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Bulgaria is the right answer.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26OK, third question, you must
0:26:26 > 0:26:27get this one right.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32The American politician Huey Long, who was assassinated in 1935,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36served as governor of, and senator from, which state?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41You must get this right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I don't think it's Illinois.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44I don't know why.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46But I'm leaning towards...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I'm leaning towards Texas.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52If you're called Huey, is that a Texas name?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Or a Louisiana name?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Or an Illinois name?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58What happened in 1935?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00So that was Prohibition.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03If it's Prohibition, it could be Illinois,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06because it could be Chicago. Shall we say Illinois?
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Cos that is Prohibition era.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10And that might be someone who'd be bumped off by the Mafia.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- Yeah, that's the most logical thing. - Yeah, shall we go with that?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- We're going to go with Illinois. - Illinois is your answer.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19You must get this right to keep the contest going.
0:27:19 > 0:27:25Prohibition was your connecting political thought.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27He was known as The Kingfish.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28And the state?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Louisiana.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Louisiana is the correct answer, so we have to say,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Oh, Dinosaurs, right at the end,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46it wasn't the battle we thought it might be.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- We didn't get the questions at all. - Yeah, Jimmy Hoffa.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Commiserations to you. Thanks for playing. Great game.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Their winning streak continues. A little bit shaky today.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It does mean you won't to be going home with the £6,000,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Eggheads, Judith, Chris, congratulations. A great performance.
