0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably 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 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. On fire today?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Yes.- Incendiary.- "Incendiary", says Pat.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39All right. Taking on our quiz champions
0:00:39 > 0:00:42today are the International Gasbags, from Leicester.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Now, most of this team know each other through
0:00:44 > 0:00:48working for the same major energy supplier, and they regularly
0:00:48 > 0:00:52quiz together on Wednesdays at a local pub, The Tudor.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Steve, and I'm a retired schoolteacher.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Max, and I'm a call management centre manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Steven, and I'm a shop steward.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Barry, and I'm a sales administrator.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Matt, and I'm a call management analyst.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- So, Steve, team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- So, you worked in, basically in gas together?- All of them except myself. - OK.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- OK, I hear some American in your accent.- Yes, yes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I have lived here for over 20 years,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23but I've retired as a schoolteacher,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26and we just happened to be at the same pub, that's where we started out together,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and so we decided "international",
0:01:29 > 0:01:31we had to have something with my name. We thought probably
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Steve And The Gasbags would be a little bit too pompous on my part.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36JEREMY LAUGHS
0:01:36 > 0:01:38So, International Gasbags. OK, I've got it completely.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- And you quiz together, crucially. - Yeah.- What is it about...
0:01:42 > 0:01:45You'll have a good insight into this, Steve, having come from the USA.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48What is it about quizzing that's very, very British?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Why do we love quizzing so much?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53So much more than Americans, I think it is just that sense
0:01:53 > 0:01:56of community, where in America, it always seems to be, when you go
0:01:56 > 0:02:01to any sort of pub or bar that has a quiz, it is always individuals.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03And I think that's what I like a great deal about it,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- much more than the way it is done in America.- All right, so we are teams here.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10So, good look against this fearsome team over here.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:12 > 0:02:14up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18we take the prize money, we roll it over to the next show.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Now, International Gasbags,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I can tell you the Eggheads have done rather well.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24They've won the last 19,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27so they haven't been beaten for quite some time.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30It does mean they are looking a little bit cocky,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34but the upside is that it is £20,000 you're playing for.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Wow.- Would you like to crack on? - Absolutely.- I thought so.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- So, who would like this?- What do you think, guys?- What do you think?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- Me?- I think you'd probably have a good go.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- OK.- Yeah.- OK.- OK.- I'm going to go. - Max, OK.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Against which Egghead? You can have anyone of them?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I'll take Kevin, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Max from the International Gasbags trying to take out
0:03:02 > 0:03:06the King of the Eggheads over there, Kevin, on Film & TV.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08And to ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11would you please now take your positions in our Question Room?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16OK, so we are on Film & TV against Kevin. And big jackpot today.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Would you like to go first or second?- I shall go first, please.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Max, your first question.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Which actress earned Oscar nominations for her roles
0:03:29 > 0:03:34in The Devil Wears Prada, Music Of The Heart and A Cry In The Dark?
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Is that...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Um, I don't know.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I know Meryl Streep quite well, I've seen a few of her films,
0:03:41 > 0:03:46they don't ring a bell. Amy Adams, not sure.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- I'm going to go for Kate Winslet. - Kate Winslet.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Let's see, your team-mates, do you know the answer here?- Meryl Streep.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57It is Meryl. Yes, Meryl Streep is the answer. A Cry In The Dark.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Is that the dingo baby case? - Yes, Lindy Chamberlain.- Right.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05And then, Devil Wears Prada, she was what, the advertising person,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- or the fashion person? - Fashion editor.- OK.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12The answer is Meryl Streep. Kevin, your question.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17In which TV sitcom did David Jason play a character named Blanco?
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Is that...
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I think that is still one of his best performances, because he
0:04:25 > 0:04:30was playing a character much older than he was himself at the time.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33It was back in the '70s, of course. It was Porridge.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Porridge is the right answer, Kevin. Max, back to you.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39In which TV comedy drama does Jack Whitehall play JP,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and Zawe Ashton play Vod?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Is this...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Um...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Again, I don't know. I've seen The Inbetweeners.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I don't know the other two. I don't know the character names at all.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I'm going to go for Campus.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- It's Fresh Meat.- OK.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07OK, Kevin, your question. You can take the round with this one.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10In a June 2015 episode of Top Gear,
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Jeremy Clarkson's place was taken by which type of giant fake animal?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Ah...
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Top Gear is a closed book to me, I've never watched it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Know very little about it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34For some reason, I think moose is ringing a tiny bell.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36So I shall say moose.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Moose. OK. Anyone know here? - Elephant.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Elephant is the answer. This is after he was let go.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44So, Hammond and May,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47the gag was they were not talking about the elephant in the room,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50which they had brought in and referred to as Jeremy throughout.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53And it was not a real elephant, it was a...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55It was a giant, yes, a plush replica,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57rather than actually stuffed real thing.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Yes, elephant in the room, Kevin, that's the clue.- Oh, OK.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- He was not referred to, sort of. - I don't know what I was thinking of,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07but I actually thought I remembered something about a moose
0:06:07 > 0:06:10from somewhere, but that's obviously something completely different.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Clarkson will be watching and thinking, "Moose!"
0:06:12 > 0:06:14He will be shouting at the TV.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Max, your question, you're still in it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18The Ealing comedy Passport to Pimlico,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22that starred Stanley Holloway, was released in which year?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Er...
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I have seen this, but...
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Yes, I think '49 is too early,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37but then I think '69 is too late, but I don't think...
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- I don't know. I am going to plump down the middle at '59.- '59.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Let me check with the Eggs here. Eggs?- '49.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45'49, they say, and they are right.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49It was a very, very early film in British cinema.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53So, 1949, so that means that Kevin has knocked you out, Max.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56And, Kevin, you are in the final round.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59But it is early days for our Challengers. Don't be put off.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01You can fight back from here.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Please return to your teams and we'll play on.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07So, the International Gasbags have lost a brain,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09they've lost Max from the final round.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12The Eggheads are all still there. We play on.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15The next subject is Science. Who would like science?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- That's a no-brainer.- I think this is my moment. I'll take this one.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25- OK, Stephen. Against which Egghead? Can't be Kevin.- I think Lisa.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I'm going to take Lisa, please.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30So, it is Stephen from International Gasbags taking
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Please go to our Question Room.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I sensed that you jumped at Science there, Stephen.- Indeed, Jeremy.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40It is certainly my favourite subject.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I studied it at university, and hoping to do well.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46So, would you like to go first or second, Stephen?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I will go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Here we go, let's see if you can pull one back for the Gasbags.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Which scientist presented the BBC programmes
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Wonders Of The Solar System and Wonders Of The Universe?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Was that...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09OK, well, Colin Pillinger was the man, I believe,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12who was responsible for the Beagle mission.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Richard Dawkins is a scientist,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20but is not the right scientists. I think it is Brian Cox.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24It is Brian Cox, well done. All right.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Challengers off the blocks. Lisa, your question.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30The genus Loxodonta, that includes African elephants,
0:08:30 > 0:08:35has a name taken from the Greek for which physical feature?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Is it...
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Did you say Loxodonta, Jeremy? - I said Loxodonta.- How very rude.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49I would imagine that that's "donta", teeth. Tooth, then.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Tooth is the right answer.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Obviously we've got a spate of elephants on the programme.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- Yes, it always nice to have lots of elephants.- Back to you, Stephen.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Where in the human body is the pineal gland?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03And that's spelt P-I-N-E-A-L.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Is it...
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Well...I'm just going to be honest, I know this one, it is in the brain.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Yeah, you are absolutely right. And do you know what it does?
0:09:15 > 0:09:19It's to do with the psychopathy, of how the brain works, I believe.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I can't remember the exact details,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24but it releases some sort of chemical into the brain.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I wonder if the Eggheads have got extra large pineal glands.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30STEPHEN LAUGHS
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Lisa, your question.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36The mandarin is a type of which bird found in Britain?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Is it...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I was about to say, "Did you say manda-RIN, Jeremy?"
0:09:41 > 0:09:45but I did that last question, so let's not be boring. Mandarin.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Mandarin.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm pretty sure that's a duck, but I'll just have a little
0:09:49 > 0:09:51think about that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Mandarin swan sounds like a naff advertising agency in Soho.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00No, I think mandarin is a duck.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Duck is the right answer.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05You've got it right. This is a tight round now. Third question.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Stephen, which country was the world's largest
0:10:08 > 0:10:11producer of uranium in 2012?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I don't know the answer to this one
0:10:19 > 0:10:21but I'm going to have a think about it.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I don't believe it's Albania.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28So, for me, it's between Niger and Kazakhstan.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Something in my strange memory makes me think it's Kazakhstan.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- Kazakhstan is right.- Well done!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Now, was that one of the things in the national anthem
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- as sung by Borat?- Possibly.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46The world's largest producer of uranium.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47That might be where it's come from.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I don't know, I wonder if it was there.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I was watching that film recently.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54OK, Lisa, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Which planet in our solar system has 27 known moons?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Right, well we can safely discount Venus
0:11:04 > 0:11:07because I don't think it's got any moons.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11And this is me trying to remember how many Jupiter has
0:11:11 > 0:11:13and if it's more than 27 or not.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And if Uranus has as many as 27.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Now, I thought Jupiter had 29.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Is that a reason to go for Uranus? Or has it got less?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Now, Neptune I think is in single figures.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Is Uranus in single figures as well,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43or is it in the teens or am I going completely mad?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I will go for Jupiter
0:11:47 > 0:11:50because I really can't remember how many moons Uranus has got.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Every second of the way there, Barry was with you, and at the end,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56he's just, I'm afraid, fallen forwards. Why?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58It never was going to be my round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Was the logic wrong there?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Yes, Jupiter has got well over 60 moons.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Jupiter's got well over 60 moons, he says.- There we go.- Not 29.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Yes, maybe they're just the biggest ones.- So Uranus is the answer.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11That does mean, Stephen, well done, you're in the final round.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13You've knocked out an Egghead.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16So, a bit of a sticky period for Lisa at the moment, eh?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Moons and Jupiter and I have never ever been friends.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Yeah, so, it's just pulling it back, these challengers.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25They can just suddenly ambush you, Eggheads, I think.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Stephen and Lisa, do come back to us and we'll play the next round.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31OK, the Eggheads might have thought
0:12:31 > 0:12:33this was going to be easy but it's not.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35The International Gasbags have lost a brain
0:12:35 > 0:12:38but they have now lost a brain over here as well.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Very, very tight competition today. £20,000, we're playing for.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Geography, the next subject. Who would like this?
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- Are you ready? We're going to have Matt.- It's going to be Matt? OK.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55And which Egghead, Matt? Anyone but Lisa or Kevin.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I think I'll go against Dave.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01OK, so Matt from the Gasbags versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Go for it in the Question Room.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06So, geography, Matt,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- would you like to go first or second?- I'll go second place.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Dave, your first question. Pamplona is a city in which country?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I think it's famous for the running of the bulls. I think it's in Spain.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Spain is the right answer, well done.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Over to you, Matt.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Spaghetti Junction, otherwise known as Gravelly Hill Interchange,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32is in which city?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Well, I know it's definitely not Leicester.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I can say it is Birmingham.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43And you're from Leicester, aren't you?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- You definitely would know if you'd been caught in that?- Yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Birmingham is the right answer, well done.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Dave, your question.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53The Village of St Briavels in Gloucestershire
0:13:53 > 0:13:55is a traditional centre of which ancient forest?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Well, the New Forest is in Hampshire,
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Sherwood Forest is in Nottinghamshire.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I believe the Forest of Dean is in Gloucestershire
0:14:06 > 0:14:08so the Forest of Dean is my answer.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10The Forest of Dean is the right answer.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Matt, Punta Parinas, the most westerly point
0:14:14 > 0:14:17on the South American mainland, is in which country?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Punta Parinas.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm not 100% sure on this one.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I believe Peru is on the West Coast so I'm going to go for Brazil.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36The answer is Peru, Matt. Sorry about that.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40So, you've got one point and because you let Dave go first,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43if he gets this one right, he will be in the final round.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46The French River called the Charente, Dave,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48flows into which body of water?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Can you spell it for me, please?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59C-H-A-R-E-N-T-E, the French river called the Charente.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I don't... I've not heard of it at all.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I'm thinking of the Seine with the English Channel.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I'll go for the Bay of Biscay.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15If you've got this right, you're in the final round.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Anyone know over here?
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Is he right?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Anyone know their French rivers? Matt, what do you think?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I'm not sure either, to be honest. I would have gone with Mediterranean.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27OK, good quizzing by you, Dave. The Bay of Biscay is right.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30You got three out of three. Knocked out Matt, sorry,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32You won't be in the final round, Matt.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35If you come back to us, we'll see what happens next.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39So, as it stands, International Gasbags have lost two brains
0:15:39 > 0:15:41from the crucial final round.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43The Eggheads have only lost the one
0:15:43 > 0:15:47and the last subject before the final is sport.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Who would like this?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Well, what do you think? - Have you got a plan?
0:15:52 > 0:15:53I think it'll have to be me.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- It's going to have to be me, Jeremy.- OK, Barry.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Which Egghead would you like to take on? It can be Pat for Barry.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- We could have a Barry Barry!- I think I will have a Barry Barry.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Two barrels. - Careful, it sounds like a disease!
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I've got a dreadful case of the double Barrys!
0:16:09 > 0:16:13So, Barry from the International Gasbags versus Barry, the Egghead,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17and to ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21So, here we are, we have Barry versus Barry and Barry,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- the Gasbag, I gather you're a big Bowie fan?- Absolutely, yes.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29I have been for many years. I've got lots of his albums and singles.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33But you're only 39 so let's think, you were born mid-70s
0:16:33 > 0:16:37which is arguably after he had done his very best stuff?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Some would argue that, yes,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43but I've liked everything from the start until nowadays
0:16:43 > 0:16:47but I think my dad used to play the music when I was very little
0:16:47 > 0:16:49and I think that's the influence I've had, really.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50So, one Barry likes the Bowie.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53The other Barry, are you a Bowie Barry as well?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I like some of his stuff but I'm more into classical and opera,
0:16:56 > 0:17:01- as you know.- You've got to give us a B. Is it Bach or Beethoven?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- We're on the Bs today. - Oh, Beethoven, definitely.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07OK, so Barry for Bowie and Barry for Beethoven...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10OK, Beethoven Barry and Bowie Barry, that's how we do it.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Bowie Barry, you're on sport, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:13 > 0:17:14I'll go second place.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Here we go, Beethoven Barry.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22In cricket, what does the cricket umpire signal
0:17:22 > 0:17:24by raising an index finger above his head?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I think if you raise an index finger, the batsman is out.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It is indeed and on this game as well, we do that.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39The batsman is out is the right answer.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Bowie Barry, what time did Usain Bolt run for the 200 metres
0:17:43 > 0:17:47when he set a new world record in Berlin in 2009?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Well, athletics is not one of my key areas.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02So, I mean he's quite a quick guy,
0:18:02 > 0:18:08so I think I'm going to go for 14.33 seconds.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Oh, that would be very fast
0:18:09 > 0:18:13because I think the 100 metres is roughly 9 seconds?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Sub 10, you're world-class.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19If you think of the 100 metres as being 10 seconds, the second
0:18:19 > 0:18:24100 metres is unlikely to be faster so we're looking at around 20.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26The answer is indeed 19.19.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Barry, your question.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Who became the manager of the England football team in 2001?
0:18:37 > 0:18:412001. That's going back a while.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I think Sven was a little later than that.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47I'm going to go the Terry Venables.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Oh!
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- Lisa is groaning. Lisa?- It was more Dave but I was inhaling sharply.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00No, she doesn't like that. Sven-Goran Ericsson... Oh, dear.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05Is the answer. So he's let you back in slightly, Bowie Barry.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Here we go. Get this one right.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12In 1990, who was the first British player to top the official
0:19:12 > 0:19:15world golf rankings?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24The annoying thing is that they were all very
0:19:24 > 0:19:26popular around the same time.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I don't think it was Ian Woosnam at that point.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I think Sandy Lyle is probably...
0:19:37 > 0:19:39No, I'm swaying towards Nick Faldo
0:19:39 > 0:19:43because I think that was around the time he won the US Open,
0:19:43 > 0:19:49so I think I think I'm going to go for Nick Faldo.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Yes, you got it right. Well done. Nick Faldo. So, you've drawn level.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55That's useful.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58OK, a bit of a stuttering performance by Barry here.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Let us see if you can get your third question, Barry.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Frank Bruno's first attempt to win a world heavyweight boxing title
0:20:04 > 0:20:08took place in 1986 against which boxer?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I'll discount Jumbo Cummings.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It could have been James Smith or Tim Witherspoon.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- 1980?- 1986.- 1986.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I'm sure he did fight against James Smith
0:20:32 > 0:20:35but somehow or other Tim Witherspoon is coming into my mind.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I'm going to go for Tim Witherspoon.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Dave loves his boxing. Dave?
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Yeah, Barry is absolutely right,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44because he did fight James Bonecrusher Smith
0:20:44 > 0:20:47but it was a non-title fight and then the first one, I think
0:20:47 > 0:20:50it was at Wembley but it was Tim Witherspoon.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Tim Witherspoon is correct, Barry. Well done. You got two out of three.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59So, Bowie Barry, you need to come level with Beethoven Barry here.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02If you get this one wrong, you will be out.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Naomi and Liam Brodie are both professionals in which sport?
0:21:14 > 0:21:19I don't think it's tennis because I'm kind of up with tennis.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23They don't ring a bell necessarily.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Triathlon, I don't know anything about.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30I think Brodie probably is more of a show jumping thing
0:21:30 > 0:21:32so I'm going to go with show jumping.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It's not actually show jumping. It is tennis.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I was just thinking, sports where men
0:21:37 > 0:21:40and women compete together, maybe mixed doubles, I don't know.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43But Naomi and Liam are tennis players.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48So Beethoven Barry has won the round. He will be in the final.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51If you both return to us, we will play that final round.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54OK, just before we play,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- I should say Nick Faldo didn't win the US Open, by the way.- Didn't he?
0:21:58 > 0:21:59No.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03You got the answer right but just in case people start writing letters.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04We know that it was wrong.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07But actually, right answer, wrong reasoning.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Perfect for this game, they do it all the time!
0:22:09 > 0:22:12So, we have been playing towards this moment, haven't we?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16It is time for the final round. It's getting bigger and bigger and more exciting every day now.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It is General Knowledge, but, of course, those of you
0:22:18 > 0:22:21who lost your head-to-heads are not allowed to take
0:22:21 > 0:22:25part, so that is Max, Barry and Matt from the International Gasbags.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28And also Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Please, I'm sorry to say this, leave the studio.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34OK, Steve and Stephen,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37you are playing to win International Gasbags £20,000.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39We don't say that very often here.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45which is your precious reputation.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50this time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52You are allowed to confer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55So, International Gasbags, the question is,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- And would you like to go first or second?- I think we'll go first.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06OK, good luck to you.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10The common indoor plant called a peace lily has
0:23:10 > 0:23:12a flower that is usually which colour?
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Is it...
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I know the answer to this.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23It is quite a nice bushy green plant with a white flower.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I think we'll say white, then.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27No messing, white it is.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- And you are right.- Well done, young man.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30JEREMY LAUGHS
0:23:30 > 0:23:35And I guess "peace", "white" is the association there, yeah. OK.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Eggheads, which woman inspired half of the famous 1956 headline
0:23:39 > 0:23:41"Egghead weds hourglass"?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44THEY LAUGH
0:23:44 > 0:23:45I didn't know this.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Marilyn Monroe.- Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56That was caused by her marriage to the playwright Arthur Miller,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- so it is Marilyn Monroe. - Marilyn Monroe is quite right.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Arthur Miller, who was the... A brainbox, basically.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07OK, it wasn't one of you who married Marilyn Monroe.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I think you would have known about that.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I was going to say, you can keep bits of your CV from me.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15OK, one each.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Andy Millman is a central character in which TV sitcom, Challengers.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Is it...
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I'm so thrilled with this question, I don't even have to confer.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30It is one of my favourites. It is Extras.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Extras it is. All right.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- So you liked The Office as well and all that?- Yes.- OK.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I haven't seen the American version of The Office. Is it any good?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- It's rubbish compared to the other one.- Is it?- I think so.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45All right, Eggheads.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49In 1922, which prime minister was accused of bestowing honours
0:24:49 > 0:24:54and peerages in return for donations to Liberal Party funds?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Is it...
0:24:57 > 0:25:02- Lloyd George.- Lloyd George. Big scandal. Yeah. Lloyd George.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04That was Lloyd George.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Yes, a definition of a big scandal,
0:25:06 > 0:25:11as we still know about it 100 years later. Lloyd George is the answer.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Back to you, Challengers. Keep the pressure on.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18Get this one right, and then you are a question away from £20,000.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Pons Aelius, meaning "Aelian Bridge",
0:25:22 > 0:25:26was the Roman name of a settlement on the site of which city?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32And do take your time.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- I think we will.- I don't know the answer.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39What would be logic, do you think, on this?
0:25:39 > 0:25:44Well, obviously, all three cities are sited at rivers.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It would have been nice to have had one which would have been a clear...
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Do you think the tendency that the one that's furthest north would be
0:25:52 > 0:25:53least likely?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01I feel it would either be Hull or Newcastle,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- but I don't know the answer. - You don't?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Well, what do you think about...
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I'm just going to use this as poor logic, then.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Hull is, in terms of that, further south than Newcastle?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17No, it is further...
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Oh, gosh, that's a good point. Um...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Because that would be the only way I'd eliminate between the two.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Why? You would favour the further north?- I would favour the one that
0:26:26 > 0:26:30was further south, I would think.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I have a funny feeling it is Hull. I just don't know.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Well, you know what?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- In for a penny, in for a pound. Should we go with Hull?- Yes.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43OK, Jeremy. After much conferring,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46we are going to say Hull.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Let's see if the Eggheads know. - Newcastle.- Newcastle...- Ah!
0:26:50 > 0:26:54..is the answer. But can we get from the words Pons Aelius to Newcastle?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57We can make some progress, insofar as the Mersey at Liverpool and the
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Humber at Hull aren't bridgeable with Roman technology.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Whereas you could possibly argue that the Tyne at Newcastle is
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- bridgeable. It is a bit far-fetched, it is not proof.- No.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- That's very interesting.- It's sort of an argument.- The Mersey is what,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- half a mile wide?- The Mersey is very wide, yes.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16And you have a ferry cross it. Yeah. All right.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Well, maybe a glimmer of getting to it, but bad luck.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Two out of three, not out of it, though.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Eggheads, if you get this one right, the contest is over.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29The broadcaster Mark Tully became famous for reporting
0:27:29 > 0:27:31and writing about which country?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Was it...
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- India.- India.- India, without any question.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40He became synonymous with India.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Famously had a neon sign just saying "Tully" outside his office.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47The answer is India.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57That's a tough one, that Newcastle one.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- What are you going to do?- But then they got three out of three, so who knows what
0:28:01 > 0:28:04would have happened in Sudden Death, but thank you so much for playing.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- It's a pleasure.- International Gasbags put in a good fight at the end there.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09My goodness, with £20,000...
0:28:09 > 0:28:11So, you've done what comes naturally.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15You are now above the £20,000 mark in terms of jackpot.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18It does mean that our Challengers are not going home with the money,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22so we roll it over to the next show. Eggheads, well done.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27- What is the Roman word, the Latin word for unbeatable?- Invictus.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Invictus is unconquered, so... - We know what we are saying here.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Eggheads Invictus.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see
0:28:34 > 0:28:38if a new team of Challengers have the brains to finally defeat...
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Somebody has got to win this money! Until then, goodbye.
