0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Challenging our general knowledge geniuses today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are The Other Team, from Belfast.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Now, this group of friends
0:00:38 > 0:00:42regularly quiz together at their local The Glenn Inn.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hello, I'm Trevor, and I'm a pool lifeguard.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Stephen, and I'm a delivery driver.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Billy. I'm a retired storeman.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Gerry, and I am a retired teacher.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Tom, and I'm a physics student.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00So, Trevor and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02And you know each other, Trevor,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04mainly through a leisure centre, is that right?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I am still a lifeguard. Stevie was an ex-lifeguard.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10And Tom at the end has just left there a few months ago.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- This is the Shankill Leisure Centre?- Yup.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And the other three are customers, they go to the gym.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Oh, right, so you are all pretty fit. - All from the... Yeah.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- THEY LAUGH - Try to.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24OK, so Shankill Leisure Centre is in the centre of Belfast, basically?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Yeah, close enough to it.- Right. And how is the lifeguarding, good?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29It's still... Yeah, it is still going well.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Well, it is great to have a Northern Ireland team here,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I must say, so thanks very much indeed for coming.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I hope it is fruitful for you. Every day, there is
0:01:36 > 0:01:39£1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41But if you fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48So, Other Team, I can tell you they have won the last seven games.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51That means £8,000 is here for you to win today.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Not quite here, but we can imagine it's here.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- And do you want to go for it? ALL:- Yes, please.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Which one of you would like this?
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Do you want that one?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05What do you think? Who's for History?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Is that you?- Me?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Right, I'll go, seeing all the eyes are on me.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Before you go...- OK, eyes on Gerry. - Are you happy enough with Gerry?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Are you happy enough, Trevor? - Yes, absolutely.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Gerry, you've got to choose an Egghead now.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20You can have any one of the five.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23We've got at least one millionaire there.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28Um... I think I will go with CJ. Trevor, what do you think?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Yeah, and that is a good choice. - Go with CJ?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32So, Gerry from The Other Team...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Why are you called The Other Team, by the way?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Well, I ran a quiz one night, I was only starting off.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40And only two teams came the first night.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42It was Billy and his wife and another team.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44And when I came to get the team names,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46one team said, "We will be the Smarties."
0:02:46 > 0:02:48And I said to Billy, "What's your team called?"
0:02:48 > 0:02:50He says, "We'll just be The Other Team."
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- So we've been The Other Team ever since.- LAUGHING: Very good.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56So, Gerry from The Other Team versus CJ from that team.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57To ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:57 > 0:03:02would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05So, Gerry, you've got the keys to the city of Las Vegas.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07That's right, Jeremy.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09This all happened about 1981,
0:03:09 > 0:03:15when I was asked by the Las Vegas Soccer Association,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19youth section, to go over and coach some soccer
0:03:19 > 0:03:21during the summer months.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26I readily accepted the offer and I was over there for eight weeks,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30having a fantastic time both on and off the pitches.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31I hear you.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36A few days before I came home, I was told to get dressed smart -
0:03:36 > 0:03:40we were going downtown to meet the mayor.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42So I did not know what was going on.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46But when I got down there, there was a reception for me.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51And the best moment of all, of course,
0:03:51 > 0:03:57was when the key to the city of Las Vegas was presented to me.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00How nice. So you were given almost the freedom of the city
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- because of your football training? - Well, I was given...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- I think it is more a token gesture, Jeremy...- Yeah.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10..in that it is a token of recognition and appreciation.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Basically, it was for the work that I put in with the youth of the city.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16How fantastic. Do you go back there at all then?
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- I haven't been back since 1983. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I went on holiday to the States a couple of years ago,
0:04:23 > 0:04:27and I think my small children enjoyed Las Vegas more than anywhere.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It is just an amazing and crazy place.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Wonderful place with wonderful people,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- that's what I found about it. - Absolutely.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Just like your great city of Belfast, actually.- Thank you.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38So, Gerry, History. And would you like to go first or second?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45OK, and good luck against CJ.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Which forces were victorious at the Battle of Naseby in 1645?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Well, the Battle of Naseby, I don't know an awful lot about it.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02But I would certainly rule out the Vikings.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I am also going to rule out the Scots.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07And I will go with the Parliamentarians.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Yes, it was the Parliamentarians. Was that English Civil War, CJ?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12It was indeed, yes.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14OK, over to you.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Which of these terms traditionally refers to
0:05:16 > 0:05:19riflemen in the British Army?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25I don't know.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I can't imagine it's Red Hats.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I can't really imagine it is White Breeches. But...
0:05:35 > 0:05:39And Green Jackets, I think I've heard of as a term.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41But...
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Um... This name has passed me by, I'm afraid.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47But I'll go for Green Jackets.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yes, it is Green Jackets.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Back to you, Gerry.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Before he became king, which of these monarchs had an affair
0:05:56 > 0:05:57with the Countess of Warwick,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00who was nicknamed Babbling Brook for her indiscretions?
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Hm...
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Babbling Brook...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I'm not sure on this one at all, Jeremy. I will go...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17..with Charles II.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's not Charles II, actually, it is Edward VII.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23OK.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25CJ,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28which of these descriptions is often applied to the father
0:06:28 > 0:06:31of Henry VIII's minister, Thomas Cromwell?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42OK, well, you have started off with two I've never heard of.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I can't imagine it was Cornish pirate.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56See, I've got one of those little ringings in the back of my head
0:06:56 > 0:06:59that I've heard of the phrase blacksmith from Putney.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02But I could just be making that up.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Um...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I don't know if I'm confusing Cromwell with somebody else,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10but I've got the idea that Cromwell actually came from...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16..quite a normal family and actually worked his own way up
0:07:16 > 0:07:19rather than coming from a well-to-do family.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I will try blacksmith from Putney.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Yes, you haven't read Wolf Hall, have you?- No, I haven't.- Or seen it?- Nope.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Because this is quite central. Blacksmith from Putney is correct.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Barry, I could see you egging him on.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Meaning he came from very humble origins, right?- He did.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39His father was a bit of a brute who used to beat him
0:07:39 > 0:07:40quite regularly.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Cromwell really hated his father,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45which may go some way to explain some of his actions
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- later on in his life.- Yeah. Such a fascinating figure.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52So, CJ has two now, Gerry, and you've got one.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- You need to get this one right.- OK.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56During the period of the Raj,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00which city acted as the summer capital of British India?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I'll go with Agra.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- CJ, do you know this? - I would have gone for Lucknow.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Any Eggheads know? EGGHEADS:- Shimla.- Shimla.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15And how would we guess that or get that?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- It's up in the hills, where it is cool.- North of the country?- Yes.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Agra is where the Taj Mahal is.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Oh, I see, so Agra would be very, very hot.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Jeremy, I was in Shimla last year.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28And I was on the little train full, obviously, of Indians.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31And we passed... As we were going up into the hills,
0:08:31 > 0:08:32we passed the snow line,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35and the train stopped and every single Indian got out
0:08:35 > 0:08:38and looked at the snow, cos most of them had never seen snow before.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So it is cooler there, Gerry, I think that's the point.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Shimla is the answer.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- OK.- So that was the summer capital, getting out of the heat.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46So, well done, CJ.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50You've just turned the heat up on our Challengers.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52You will be in the final, Gerry has been knocked out.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54But it is early days. Please return to us.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00So, as it stands, The Other Team, this one, have lost one brain from
0:09:00 > 0:09:01the final round, lost Gerry,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03while the Eggheads have lost no brains so far.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06That may change because the next subject is Music.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- So which one of you would like Music? - Trevor.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Go ahead.- I think I will go for Music.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16OK, the team captain in on Music. Against which Egghead, Trevor?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Which do you think?- Anyone but CJ.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Who do you think?- That is what a lot of people say.- I'll pick Judith.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25OK, Trevor from The Other Team versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28And to ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30So, Music, Trevor,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33would you like to go first or second against our Judith?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I'll take the first set, Jeremy.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Here we go with your first question, Trevor.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Which singer made headlines by being accidentally dragged to the ground
0:09:45 > 0:09:48during her performance at the Brits in 2015?
0:09:53 > 0:09:54I don't think it was Katy Perry.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I think I actually watched this, and it wasn't Paloma Faith.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59That was Madonna.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Yes, some sort of necktie didn't give way. Madonna is right.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Did you see that, Judith?- Yes, I did.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- She fell off her perch. - She was wearing a cape. Yeah.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09She was sort of dragged off, wasn't she?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I think they were supposed to pull a cloak off her, and it didn't go.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Yeah, it stayed and pulled her.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Here's your question.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Taylor Swift started her career as an artist in which musical genre?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh, gosh. Country.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Country is correct. Was that a guess? - Yes.- Yeah, very much so.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34OK. Back to you, Trevor.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Which of these modern orchestral instruments has parts
0:10:38 > 0:10:41known as the slide, the bell and the water key?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I don't think it's a triangle.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I will go for the slide - trombone.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Yeah, the slide, that is, I guess, the giveaway. Trombone is right.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Well done, Trevor.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Two out of two.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Back to Ms Keppel.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02In The City and This Is The Modern World
0:11:02 > 0:11:06where the first two albums released by which band?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- In The City and...? - This Is The Modern World.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15This Is The Modern World.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Well, I am not in the modern world, I just don't know. Um...
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Blur.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Oh, Judith! SHE LAUGHS
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Is it a Barcelona moment? - No, no, it's not a Barcelona...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- It's just that The Jam are so good. - Oh. Right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32And it's obvious you haven't...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Maybe you've not appreciated them fully.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- I obviously haven't.- I can almost go through every track of In The City.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40The Jam is the answer.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42OK, so, Trevor, you have two,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Judith has one.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45This is quite promising now.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Get this right and Judith will be knocked out
0:11:48 > 0:11:50and you'll be in the final round. So the skipper will survive.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Here is your question.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Which composer, famous for his music for the television series Morse,
0:11:56 > 0:12:01apparently included coded clues to the plot in the music?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Well, I haven't heard of this before,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13so it's just going to have to be a guess. Um...
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I'll go for Barrington Pheloung.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- That is a total guess, is it?- Yes.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Barrington Pheloung is the right answer. Well done, Trevor,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26three out of three. Nicely done.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Very nicely done.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Sorry, Judith, that was an expensive... You may have to
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- listen to some old Jam albums. - Too late, too late.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37The penance, you've been knocked out on a question about The Jam.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39And, Trevor, you are in the final round.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Please, both of you, return to us. We will play Round Three.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45So, a lively performance by Trevor, well done.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48As it stands, The Other Team have lost one brain,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51but the Eggheads have also lost a brain.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52The next subject is Geography.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54So, who would like this?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56No? Is that bad?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Do you want to go? - What do you think?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Do you want to give Geography a try?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I would go... I would send Stevie up.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I have a general sense of geography, but I wouldn't be fantastic.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- It might be Politics next. - You don't know, seriously.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Try.- Go for it.- You think I should just go for it?- Yeah.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16OK, so Tom, you've been press-ganged there.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Who would you like to take on, Tom? And it can be Barry, Chris or Kevin.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Barry, Chris or Kevin...
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Go with Barry.- I will go for Barry, Jeremy.- All right.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Good luck. Well, Barry loves to play.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Tom from The Other Team versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Please take your positions, gentlemen.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- So, Tom, are you happy to be doing Geography?- Happy enough.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I have a general sense of geography.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Yeah, as in what continent you are on
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- and that sort of thing? - Yeah, yeah, just...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Well, I have travelled a wee bit around Europe myself.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51See, I was looking... And you've been interrailing
0:13:51 > 0:13:53and you've been to France, Spain, Netherlands...
0:13:53 > 0:13:57And all of that. So that is pretty good.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Yeah, mostly just Western Europe,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01but sometime I would like to get out to Eastern Europe.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Did you have a lot of fun? - Oh, yeah, it was brilliant.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Did you ever go interrailing in your day, Barry?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08No, I didn't.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I've had a couple of long train journeys in my time,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12but not as many as I wanted.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14OK, some train journeys to compare.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Let's see who wins through on Geography.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Tom, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Good luck, Tom. Here is your first question.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28The island of Mykonos is part of which country?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It is spelled M-Y-K-O-N-O-S.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Well, I know it is not Bulgaria.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Eh...
0:14:40 > 0:14:44It is either Greece or Croatia. And I initially thought Greece,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47but now I've got a wee niggle that it might be Croatia.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50But I have to go with Greece just because it sounds Greek.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51So I'll go for Greece.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55It does sound Greek, and it is Greek. And it is Greece. Well done.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57OK, your question,
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Barry the Brain.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02The River Elbe flows into which body of water at Cuxhaven?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- That would be the North Sea.- It is indeed the North Sea, well done.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10OK.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Tom, your question.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Which of these cities, traditionally in Lancashire, is farthest north?
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Oh... Unfortunately, my knowledge of cities in England
0:15:26 > 0:15:27isn't particularly good.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Um... Hm...
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I would... I don't think it's Manchester.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38But I'll just have to guess Preston.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Yeah, this is actually not an easy question.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45CJ, this would flaw you totally. BARRY LAUGHS
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Well, I have driven up the M6 enough times through Lancashire,
0:15:48 > 0:15:49so I know it is not Preston,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51cos I think that comes before Lancaster,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53so I'd have gone for Lancaster.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Yeah, Lancaster is the right answer, Tom.- Ah!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Barry, your question.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02The city of Rosario that has a population of roughly
0:16:02 > 0:16:041.2 million people
0:16:04 > 0:16:08and is located on the Parana River is located in which country?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Parana is P-A-R-A-N-A accent.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Well, as it happens, I've just returned from a holiday when
0:16:18 > 0:16:22I had a trip around South America from Valparaiso, in Chile,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24all the way around to Buenos Aires.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27And I happen to know that Rosario is one of the large cities
0:16:27 > 0:16:29in Argentina.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Very well done. Rosario is in Argentina.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36You've got it right. So you have two. And, Tom,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- you have one right. You have to get this one right.- Yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42To stay in the contest, Tom, here is your question.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45The Kumsusan Palace of the Sun,
0:16:45 > 0:16:51the Arch of Reunification and the Tomb of King Tongmyong
0:16:51 > 0:16:54are all to be found in and around which city?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I...doubt it's Pyongyang.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Eh...
0:17:06 > 0:17:10I don't really know the answer
0:17:10 > 0:17:13because I haven't heard of a lot of the things you've just mentioned,
0:17:13 > 0:17:18but to me, it sounds like it would be in Vietnam, so Saigon.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23OK. Pyongyang is, let's think, North Korea, right?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Yeah, North Korea, yeah.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Cos Pyongyang is the answer.- Ah!
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Pyongyang is the answer, Tom. Sorry, you've been knocked out there.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Barry is through to the final round on Geography.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Please, both of you, return to us
0:17:36 > 0:17:39and we will play last round before the final.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43So The Other Team have now lost two brains from the final round,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46the Eggheads have lost one. Are they stabilising over here?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49You've got to somehow just knock them about a bit, guys,
0:17:49 > 0:17:50and move past them.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53And it is Sport. Now, I wonder if this is good for you.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Who is going to do Sport?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Me?- It's going to be Stephen. - Stephen is going to go for it.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Stephen? OK.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Against which Egghead? Could be Chris or Kevin.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Chris, please.- Oh, dear.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Right, you pulled off the wrong dummy and you're going up
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- the wrong road, mate. - THEY LAUGH
0:18:12 > 0:18:14They are not frightened, Chris.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Stephen from The Other Team versus Chris... How many sports have
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- you done recently?- I won the last one, in memorable circumstances.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Oh, you did. There was quite an interesting incident.- Yeah.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28So, Chris from the Eggheads, please go to the Question Room.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- So you are a sports fan, Stephen, I know.- Yes, that's correct, Jeremy.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Any sports in particular?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40I do generally like most sports, with the exception of one or two.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44But particularly football, rugby union and cricket,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46the three basic mainstream sports.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- And you are a Man United supporter? - Dyed in the wool.- OK.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I'll take the first set of questions, please, Jeremy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Here's your first question.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03According to international rules, Stephen,
0:19:03 > 0:19:07what is the width in metres of a singles court in squash?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Hm... Right.
0:19:16 > 0:19:206.4 would be...just over...
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Yep. Between 18 and 19 feet.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Approximately.
0:19:28 > 0:19:3212.4 would be...
0:19:33 > 0:19:36..36 feet, 12 yards.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I'm just trying to...just try...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I have played a bit of squash in the past, Jeremy.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44And to be perfectly honest,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I never took much notice of the width of the court when I was on it.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- JEREMY LAUGHS - I was more intent on getting the ball back. Uh...
0:19:52 > 0:19:5518.4 is...
0:19:58 > 0:19:59..too wide.
0:20:02 > 0:20:046.4, 12.4...
0:20:04 > 0:20:0636 feet...
0:20:06 > 0:20:11I think I will go down the middle, Jeremy, and choose 12.4.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It is the shortest one of the three, actually, it is 6.4m.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Right.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19So, Chris, we go over to you.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24What name is given in rugby union and rugby league to a goal
0:20:24 > 0:20:27scored in open play by kicking the ball from the hand?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Well, a conversion follows a try.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38It's not a penalty, so it's a drop goal.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39It is a drop goal.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41OK, back to you, Stephen.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Columbus Crew and San Jose Earthquakes
0:20:45 > 0:20:48compete at the highest level of which sport in North America?
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Eh...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I don't believe it is ice hockey.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I don't think it's baseball. Um...
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I have a vague recollection, I think,
0:21:08 > 0:21:15of my idol, George Best, playing for San Jose Earthquakes.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Um...
0:21:17 > 0:21:19George, obviously, played football,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22so I think it is association football.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Well done, it is association football.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I didn't realise George Best played for them.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29OK,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33so you have a point and Chris has a point. Chris, it's your question now.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Which team did Fernando Alonso join for the 2015 Formula One season?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Well, in my book, McLaren has built traction engines in Leeds, so...
0:21:45 > 0:21:47It probably was them, but...
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Um...
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Fernando Alonso...
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Yeah, he was. McLaren.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00It is McLaren.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05It is McLaren. So you need to get this one right, Stephen.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Yep.- To stay in, your question.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11The classic single-day cycling race held in March and competed over
0:22:11 > 0:22:15one of the longest courses in the calendar is from Milan to where?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's a one-day race?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26The classic single-day cycling race held in March and competed
0:22:26 > 0:22:30over one of the longest courses in the calendar is from Milan to where?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Milan is located in northern Italy.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41It is basically almost a geography question.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45And my Italian geography is not as good as I would like it to be.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Livorno, San Remo...
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I think San Remo is...
0:22:53 > 0:22:56quite a bit south in Italy.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02So it would rule out a one-day cycle race.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Livorno or Rimini...
0:23:05 > 0:23:09HE SIGHS
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- I'll go for Livorno.- Livorno, OK.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15As soon as I said the question, I could see Tom knew. Tom?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It is San Remo. It is a very popular race with Mark Cavendish.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24- So it is Milan to San Remo?- Yep. - Yeah, Stephen, it is San Remo.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26No way back. So I don't ask Chris
0:23:26 > 0:23:27his third question.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31He is in the final round. If you come back to us, we will play that final.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39It is time for the final round, which as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:41 > 0:23:44are not allowed to take part.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47So, that is Stephen, Gerry and Tom from The Other Team,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49but it is also Judith from the Eggheads.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Well, good luck, Trevor and Billy.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- You are playing to win The Other Team £8,000.- Thank you.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Kevin, Chris, Barry, CJ, here you are, all four of you,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03playing for the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09They are all General Knowledge. Guys, you can confer. OK?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12So, The Other Team, the question is -
0:24:12 > 0:24:14can your two brains take down these four?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16And would you like to go first or second?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Here we go. General Knowledge, and you have the first question.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Good luck, The Other Team.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29The venomous snake called the king cobra is native to which continent?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35The king cobra's India. It lives in India.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38India is Asia, yeah, 100%.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39We'll go for Asia, please, Jeremy.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Billy, I am glad you did. Asia is the answer, well done.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43- Thank you.- Asia it is.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Here is your question.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52In which field did the journalist Anna Wintour become a leading figure?
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- American Vogue.- It's fashion, isn't it?- Yeah, American Vogue.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- She had the wonderful nickname Nuclear Wintour.- Yeah.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07That is fashion.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08It is indeed fashion.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11OK, one each. Back to you guys.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Cotton duck divided into categories called
0:25:15 > 0:25:20naught duck and numbered duck is what type of manufactured product?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I don't think that's an explosive, do you think?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29No, I don't think so, no.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Fabric...- A cotton duck?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- It sound like fabric, doesn't it? - I would go with ceramic, I think.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Cotton? Cotton duck?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Well, go with that, that's fine. - No, what do you think?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41I don't think anything.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- The first thing that came to my mind was ceramic, like, cos...- Go for it.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Yeah, yeah. Jeremy, I think we'll try ceramic, please.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Ceramic is your answer. I wasn't sure of this. What do you think, Eggheads?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Fabric.- It's a type of fabric.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Yeah, it is fabric.- Fabric?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Not ceramic. So a chance for the Eggheads
0:26:01 > 0:26:02to take the lead.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06The Fleet Air Arm is part of which of the British armed forces?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Royal Navy for the moment.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Yeah, that's true.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's the aviation arm
0:26:18 > 0:26:20of the Royal Navy.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- Oh, I see, so the air bit didn't make you go Royal Air Force?- No, no.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26No, this is naval flyers.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29The Fleet Air Arm is part of the Royal Navy, you're right, Eggheads.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34You've got two out of two. So, you need to get this one right
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Bill and Trevor, to stay in.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Otherwise, the contest is over. Take your time.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43Which sculptor created versions of a marble figure group called
0:26:43 > 0:26:45The Three Graces for both
0:26:45 > 0:26:48the Empress Josephine and the Duke of Bedford?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Well, the only sculptor I've ever heard is Rodin.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- He's definitely a sculptor. - Go for Rodin?- Yeah,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- at least that'll be a sculptor. - That's what I was thinking.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And he'd done The Kiss, The Thinker...
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So, The Three Graces, we'll go with that.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Go for it.- Yeah. Jeremy, we'll try Auguste Rodin.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16OK. Let's just check, are they all sculptors here?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17- EGGHEADS:- Yes.- OK.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19They are all sculptors.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Rodin is the most famous.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It is not Rodin.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24- Oh.- It's Antonio Canova
0:27:24 > 0:27:27who did it. There was a bit of a news story about it being sold,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29wasn't there, a few years ago?
0:27:29 > 0:27:30And there was a bit of a ruckus about
0:27:30 > 0:27:33whether it should be saved for the nation and all that.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Canova is the answer. So there is no way back.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I have to say it, congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Commiserations, The Other Team.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I keep calling you The Other Team... It sounds very strange, doesn't it?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Commiserations to Trevor and Billy.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55And, yeah, the first wrong answer is so painful in the final, isn't it?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57The cotton, the fabric thing.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01The duck. Anyway, it has been great to see you. Thanks for coming over.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Thank you.- From one of the greatest parts of the UK, I must say.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06The friendliest place, Belfast.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Your winning streak continues. It is officially a streak now.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16I am pronouncing it as such, officially. OK? On a formal basis.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19It does mean that you are not going home with the £8,000.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20We are going to take that money
0:28:20 > 0:28:23and we're going to roll it over to the next show.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27And then we are going to say we don't think that any Challenger can win it.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see
0:28:29 > 0:28:32if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat this lot.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I hope they do. £9,000 says they don't.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Till then, goodbye.
