0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35I say it with conviction cos you're playing so well at the moment.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Hello. ALL:- Hello.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Gosh, the force of that!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:41 > 0:00:45are Quizee McRascal from Glasgow. Now, this friends
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and family team regularly quiz together
0:00:47 > 0:00:50in The Smiddy in the city's Southside.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi. My name is Eamonn, and I'm a retired publican.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm David. I'm a marine engineer.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi. I'm Paul. I'm a postgraduate student in translation studies.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hi. I'm Joe, and I'm a maths teacher.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi. I'm Alex, and I'm a PhD student in management science.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- So, Eamonn, team, welcome. - Thank you.- Good to see you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And tell us about The Smiddy. What kind of a place is it?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Oh, it's a very traditional Scottish bar.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16We all meet and have a very good time,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18and they run a very good quiz.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- But how good, we'll find out shortly, I think.- Oh, indeed.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Now, you're all connected with each other in some mysterious way,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27aren't you? Take me through it. Take me through the relationships.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- David is going out with my daughter.- OK.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- So, he's on best behaviour tonight.- Yeah.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34And then the rest of the friends here,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36they're all part of the quiz team.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39That's Paul, Joe, his brother, and Alex, along at the end,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41they're all part of The Smiddy quiz team
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- that we all participate in.- OK.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45The name of the team is a play on Dizzee Rascal...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Indeed.- ..I'm assuming.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Is that right?- Yeah.- Is that because you are a fan, Eamonn, of Dizzee?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- No, the young people chose that one. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Why did I guess that?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Now, I mentioned the fact that they were doing very well,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and here's the story.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00We have, as you know, £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:00 > 0:02:02up for grabs for our Challengers each day.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03If you fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Now, this lot have won the last 22 games.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Ooh.- So, they're storming it, so you have to stop them.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And £23,000 says you can't.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- How about that for a challenge? - Yeah, up for that.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- It would be an honour. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:02:20 > 0:02:23The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Quizee McRascal, which one of you would like to play Science?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I think me?- The plan was for David to do it.- I think that's you.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Yeah, so, I'll be doing Science. - OK, David.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Trying to impress the potential father-in-law?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- HE LAUGHS Or am I jumping the gun there?- Er...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39THEY LAUGH
0:02:39 > 0:02:42"No comment" is the official line at the moment.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45"No comment." OK, so, David against...?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- I'm trying to think back to the battle plan that we did.- Yeah.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Dave, do we think?- OK. - Do you want to go with David first?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- David versus Dave?- Yeah. - Dave versus Dave.- Oh, lovely.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58OK, so, David from Quizee McRascal chooses our David,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Tremendous Knowledge Dave from Eggheads.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Gentlemen, to avoid any conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11So, OK, David the Challenger, Science against the man we call TKD.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Here we go. Good luck. The device called a defibrillator
0:03:22 > 0:03:25is used to correct irregularities with which organ of the body?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29That would be the heart.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Very good. The heart it is.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Dave, what is the main colour
0:03:34 > 0:03:36of the plumage of the little egret?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40I don't know.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Um, I've not really noticed much, but I'm going to go white,
0:03:44 > 0:03:45but I haven't really...
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Um, yeah, I'll go white.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50And white is correct. Well done.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52David, your question, Challenger.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57In the computing abbreviation URL, what does the R stand for?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Erm...I'm going to say router.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I think Barry will know this.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- URL is Uniform Resource Locator. - Uniform Resource Locator.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Sorry, David, it's resource. Back to you, Tremendous Knowledge.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Which medical condition
0:04:16 > 0:04:19is known as podagra when it affects the feet?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I've not heard of this phrase at all, podagra.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It would be weird if it was gout, I tell you.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32If it was that, with my conditions...
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I'm going to go cramp, but I've not got an idea, really,
0:04:36 > 0:04:37about this at all.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39And you have a bit of gout yourself?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Yes, I do, and it's gout, obviously, then.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- And you haven't googled it or anything?- No.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48It is gout. HE LAUGHS
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- That's funny.- It is funny.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53OK, back to you, David. That's good.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57You've completely discombobulated Tremendous Knowledge David.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- I'm back in the game. - Back in the game big time.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I'm hearing wedding bells. THEY LAUGH
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- Don't give my girlfriend any ideas. - THEY LAUGH
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Which of these metals has the lowest melting point?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Well, it's not iron.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's between tin or lead.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Erm, I'm going to say tin.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Really glad you did. You're right. Excellent.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29And what is your job, David, while we're talking science?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm a marine engineer in the Merchant Navy.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34So, you've got an eye for that kind of question?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37If I'd got that wrong, I wouldn't have been welcome back in the boat,
0:05:37 > 0:05:38I would imagine.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41OK, Dave, this is your question now to stay in.
0:05:41 > 0:05:47Which common electronic device typically uses a CCD or CMOS sensor?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49CMOS is C-M-O-S.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Well...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58..because you've said electronic rather than electrical...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Could be getting me totally the wrong way.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05..I'm going to go for digital camera.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Ooh, that's very smart. Yeah, digital camera it is.- Yeah.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11So, equal after three questions,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13and, David, we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It gets a bit harder cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18What name, the Latin for sea,
0:06:18 > 0:06:23do astronomers give to any of the darkish, level areas on the moon?
0:06:24 > 0:06:29No, I think I'm just going to have to have a shot in the dark here.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34I'm thinking ocean, but then level spots, Latin...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- I've never done Latin in my life. - HE LAUGHS
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Trying to think of formulas with Latin.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42No, erm...
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Ocean.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Yeah, I see where you're going. Not that.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50It's mare - M-A-R-E.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54M-A-R-E. Or you could say "mayree", some people say.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55I've never heard of it,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- so that makes me feel better. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Dave, for the round, how many sides
0:06:59 > 0:07:01does a nonagon have?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Nonagon? Nine.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Nine is correct, Dave. You've taken the round.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08David, you've been knocked out. Tremendous Knowledge
0:07:08 > 0:07:10is in the final round, but it's very early days.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Please, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18So, Quizee McRascal have lost maybe one of their best players,
0:07:18 > 0:07:19I'm thinking, David here.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22So, a brain down. Eggheads, all five.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23We've seen this before,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25but they've lost from this position before as well.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27The next subject is Geography.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Now, which one of you is the most geographical?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- I don't mind giving this a go. - Would you be happy with that?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I used to enjoy some of the geographical stuff.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- Yeah, I'd be quite happy for you to volunteer.- Yeah, that's fine.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43OK, Alex down the end and against which Egghead?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Obviously, it can't be Dave.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48If we're hoping Sport would come up, don't take Judith.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Barry maybe?- Barry? Barry?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Take Barry.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Alex from Quizee McRascal versus the Eggheads' very own rascal Barry.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Please go to our special Question Room now.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Alex, I'm interested in your hobby of keeping budgies.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06HE LAUGHS You love the song or the look...?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- They're very bright sometimes, aren't they?- They are, yes.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12They're really quite just interesting animals, yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Yeah.- You look at them and they're not the same.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17You can tell they've got their own personalities.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Yeah, I often think that about the Eggheads, actually.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I would have phrased it exactly the same.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25We keep them in little cages as well when they're not playing.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27OK, so, we're on Geography, Alex.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Would you like to go first or second?- I will go first, please.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35And here is your first question.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Finland, Estonia and which other country
0:08:38 > 0:08:40have coastlines on the Gulf of Finland?
0:08:44 > 0:08:51OK, so, I'm trying to picture a map of Europe in my mind here.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Um, and I believe the Gulf of Finland
0:08:56 > 0:09:01is what Estonia is on the southern edge of,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03and Finland is to the north of it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07It's got the Baltic Sea to the west of it,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10and Russia to the east of it, so I'm going to say Russia.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- That is an impressive bit of...- Yeah.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15..Google Maps going on in your head there.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Can we take you all round the world with that technique?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I'm not sure I'd want to push it too far, but...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- HE LAUGHS - ..Europe, I'm sort of
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- a bit comfortable-ish with, yeah.- OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30We're learning something about budgie owners here. That's amazing.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33So, Russia is the right answer. Well done. Good start.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Here we go, Barry. Your question. At its narrowest point,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41roughly how wide is the English Channel?
0:09:46 > 0:09:53Well...the Channel crossing is supposedly about 21 miles.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55It's certainly not 63 miles,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57and I can't believe it's as much as 42.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58It must be 21 miles.
0:09:58 > 0:10:0021 miles is right.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03OK, your question, Alex.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Frying Pan Lake,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08one of the largest hot springs in the world, is in which country?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Well, I've never heard of it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Purely on that basis, I'm going to rule out Ireland.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I know New Zealand's got all sorts
0:10:20 > 0:10:23of interesting geographical features.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I'm going to go for New Zealand.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30You're playing well, Alex. New Zealand is correct. Well done.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35And I say you're playing well. You also play the piano and violin.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37That's right, yes. Not both at once.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Not both at the same time? OK. HE LAUGHS
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I wasn't expecting that.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44OK, Barry, your question.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Liberia and Barbados both have currencies with which name?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I believe Barbados has the dollar.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Yes, dollar is right.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59And Liberia is using the American dollar, then, is it, or something?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Yes, well, Liberia was founded as a colony for ex-American slaves,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- which is why it has the dollar as a currency.- I see. OK.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Alex, the easternmost point of
0:11:07 > 0:11:10mainland Africa is in which country?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16The easternmost point?
0:11:16 > 0:11:22Well, again, I'm trying to picture a map in my head.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26As far as I can think, Zimbabwe doesn't have any coastline,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29so it would then be between the other two,
0:11:29 > 0:11:34and I think Africa goes further east further north, which would...
0:11:36 > 0:11:39..mean Somalia rather than Kenya, so I'll go for Somalia.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43It's good quizzing, isn't it, Eggheads? Very, very good.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46On maps, you're amazing. Somalia is the right answer.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49OK, Barry, we're going to miss this guy
0:11:49 > 0:11:51if you knock him out.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54He's a good competitor. It's a pleasure to play him.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Well, you're on the edge yourself here.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Which of these Welsh towns
0:11:57 > 0:12:01is roughly 13 miles from Chester by road?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Well, Cardigan must be on the west coast of Wales.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'll discount that. And Brecon's in the south.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11It must be Wrexham.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Wrexham is the right answer. Well done.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So, three out of three. Very well played by you both.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16We go to Sudden Death, Alex.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Gets a tiny bit harder cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Here is your first question.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24The highest peak in which country is located on Mount Ararat?
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Oh, I've heard of Mount Ararat.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I'm thinking it's either Turkey
0:12:34 > 0:12:39or one of the countries to the east of there.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'm going to go for Turkey.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Turkey is correct.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48This is great. Great quizzing. Really enjoyable to watch.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50OK, Barry, again, on the edge here.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan
0:12:53 > 0:12:57all share a border with which country?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I always get confused with the geography of the Stans.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04It's either Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I'm going to go for the larger one. I'll try Kazakhstan.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- The answer is Afghanistan, Barry. - Oh!- You've been knocked out.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Wasn't any of your options. APPLAUSE
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Well done, Alex. You're in the final round.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19That's good for your team. Barry, you're a goner, I'm afraid.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Please come back, rejoin your teams.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24So, we're pretty evenly matched so far.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26£23,000 being played for, of course.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29As it stands, Quizee McRascal have lost a brain.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33The Eggheads have also lost one. The next subject is Film & TV.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Whose subject is this?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Will I take it? - Are you happy with it?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I'm happy with it. I'm happy with it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Who do I want to take on?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44So, it's Eamonn on Film & TV against which Egghead?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46And it can't be Dave or Barry.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- I'll take the lovely Judith. - All right. The lovely Judith.- Me?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50You're off the hook on Sport.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- I thought you were saving me up for Sport.- No, no, no.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- I'm all geared up for Sport. - Running out of opportunities.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58So, Eamonn from Quizee McRascal
0:13:58 > 0:14:01is going to play Judith from the Eggheads,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03and please go to our Question Room now.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08All right, Film & TV. Exciting contest. Big jackpot.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Eamonn, first or second? - Ladies first.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Here is your first question, Judith.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Which of these actors starred in both The Magnificent Seven
0:14:20 > 0:14:21and The Dirty Dozen?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Oh, well, Michael Douglas and Cary Grant
0:14:28 > 0:14:30were definitely not in The Magnificent Seven,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33and Charles Bronson definitely was.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- So, Charles Bronson.- Charles Bronson is the right answer. Well done.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Film & TV, Eamonn. Here's your first question.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Which James Bond film was released after The Living Daylights
0:14:43 > 0:14:45and before GoldenEye?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Casino Royale was...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Both the first and the second
0:14:55 > 0:14:57were much before that and much after it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02Moonraker had Roger Moore, which I think was before then,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04so I think my answer will be Licence To Kill, Jeremy.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Yes, spot-on. Licence To Kill.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11OK, your question, Judith.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15In the 2015 feature film Chappie, what is the title character?
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- How do you spell it? - Chappie is C-H-A-P-P-I-E.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Chappie.- No idea.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I mean, a dog might be a red herring
0:15:27 > 0:15:30because dogs are sometimes called Chappie, but...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Chappie. I think it might be a robot.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35You're right, it is a robot.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38OK, Eamonn, your question.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Eileen Grimshaw and her sons Jason and Todd
0:15:41 > 0:15:44are characters in which TV soap?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Strangely for someone who chose TV & Film,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54the only genre I don't follow is soap operas.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I don't think it's EastEnders,
0:15:56 > 0:16:01and on that basis of, I'm afraid, a 50-50 choice,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I'm going to go for Emmerdale.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Now, let me check with Judith cos she loves her soaps. Judith?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Well, the only one I like is EastEnders,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11and I'm sure they're not in that.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I'm sorry, Eamonn. It is Coronation Street.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Grimshaw maybe sounds a bit more Coronation Streety.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's Eggheads two, Challengers one.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Judith, if you get this right,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24because Eamonn let you go first, you will be in the final round.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Here's your question.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29The long-running current affairs documentary series Dispatches
0:16:29 > 0:16:31is broadcast on which channel?
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Dispatches.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Oh, lordy. Um, I mean, I know it so well.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- I think it's Channel 4. - It is Channel 4.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46- It is Channel 4? - It is Channel 4.- Phew.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49You have got the round with three questions correct.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Well done, Judith. Sorry, Eamonn.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53You've been knocked out there by our classy Egghead here,
0:16:53 > 0:16:54the millionaire.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Please come back to us and we'll play on.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02So, as it stands, Quizee McRascal have lost two brains from the final,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04the Eggheads have lost one.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Time to pull it back. It's Sport.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Sport.- Sport.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10You got away with it, Judith. SHE LAUGHS
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- I think it's going to be Paul. - It's going to be me for Sport.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17OK, Paul on Sport against either Kevin or Chris.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Are we going to go with Chris? - OK, yeah.- Think so?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- We'll go with Chris, Jeremy. - OK, good stuff.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Paul from Quizee McRascal versus Chris from the Eggheads,
0:17:25 > 0:17:29looking not particularly approving about Sport.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I can't think of anything bad enough
0:17:31 > 0:17:33that is equally disapprovable of as Sport.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Non-alcoholic beer. - Non-alcoholic beer.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38That's good. Non-alcoholic beer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Paul, good luck here against Chris on Sport.- Cheers, Jeremy.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Would you like to go first or second?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48I'd thought earlier I would go first,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50so I'll stick with that and I'll go first, please.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Here is your first question.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59The first 33 stagings of golf's Open championship
0:17:59 > 0:18:01all took place in which country?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I'm not a massive golf fan at all,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10so in terms of sports I'd have liked to have seen come up,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12that's definitely not one of them.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Given the options, given golf's history,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- I would go with Scotland. - Scotland is correct.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Chris, your question. Carl Fogarty
0:18:22 > 0:18:24is a famous name in which sport?
0:18:27 > 0:18:31He's surely a cross-country BMX rider, so it's motorcycling.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Motorcycling is quite right, Chris. Well done.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35OK, back to you, Paul. The Welsh international
0:18:35 > 0:18:38rugby players JPR Williams and Jamie Roberts
0:18:38 > 0:18:42both achieved professional qualifications in which field?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Again, I'm not a massive rugby fan.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I know Alex is, and he'd possibly know this for certain,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59but I do remember hearing about Jamie Roberts,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01that he'd had a qualification,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03and my original instinct was medicine,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05so I'll go with medicine, Jeremy.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Medicine is the right answer.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Chris, here is your question, my friend.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Which of these famous racehorses
0:19:13 > 0:19:17came to be known as Australia's wonder horse?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Well, the one of those that's sort of enshrined
0:19:24 > 0:19:26in the Australian national psyche,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29and has taken its place in Australian myth,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32is a very misshapen-looking thing.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35You'd think it was a right old nag, but it was Phar Lap.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Phar Lap is the right answer. Australia's wonder horse.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41OK, level pegging. Back to you, Paul.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46In 1887, which cricket team bowled England out for 45,
0:19:46 > 0:19:50setting a record for their lowest innings score?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57I don't think the West Indies were playing as early as that.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I know that England did tour the United States
0:20:00 > 0:20:02in the early history of cricket.
0:20:02 > 0:20:08Um, but they were playing Australia by that point,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and so I'll go with Australia.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Australia is the right answer. Great logic there.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I didn't know about the United States
0:20:16 > 0:20:18tour of cricket in the 1800s. That's amazing.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK, Chris. To stay in,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Chris, the Scotsman Gary Anderson became a world champion
0:20:24 > 0:20:27in which sport in January 2015?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Well, the name doesn't ring any bells in connection with boxing.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Don't think there's many Scottish squash players, but...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Yes, darts.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47How did you get that? You just did it, what, elimination or...?
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Elimination, yeah.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Yeah, it's worked. It is darts. Well done, Chris.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53So, perfect round so far for you both.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55You've got all your multiple-choice questions correct,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58all six of them. And we go now to Sudden Death, Paul, OK?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01So, it gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternative answers.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- No problem. - Are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07In June 2013, who succeeded David Moyes
0:21:07 > 0:21:09as the manager of Everton?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Um, it's Roberto Martinez. - Roberto Martinez is quite right.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15You're playing really well, Paul.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16As are you, Chris.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21The sportswoman Charley Hull
0:21:21 > 0:21:24has found fame for her achievements in which sport, Chris?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26This to stay in.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Figure skating.- You know the answer or you've guessed it or...?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31No, I've just plucked that out of the air.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- You're not expecting this to be right?- No.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Would you be very surprised if I told you it was right?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Yes, I would, actually. - Yeah, it's not. It's golf.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40THEY LAUGH You've been knocked out.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41- Oh, that's cruel.- Paul, well done.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Well done. And this is quite a comeback by our Challengers here.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48This is now looking very lively.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Come back to us and we'll play the final round.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Now, before the final, a tiny point about Carl Fogarty.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58We were talking...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01He was BMX and motorcycling. Not BMX, is he, Dave?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- You know this.- No. No, he isn't. He was MotoGP, or Superbikes.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Superbikes.- Superbikes. - On a track, isn't it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Superbikes is Carl Fogarty.- OK.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It is time for the final round,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:19 > 0:22:21won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24So, Eamonn and David from Quizee McRascal,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and also Barry and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29would you please leave the studio?
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Paul, Joe and Alex, you are playing to win Quizee McRascal £23,000.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41which is your reputation,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and to continue this amazing roll that you're on.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51You can confer with each other, OK? So, Quizee McRascal,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54we're going to find out if your three brains can defeat these three,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56and you just take all the money and run off with it.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Here we go.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09The masthead of which national UK newspaper
0:23:09 > 0:23:12includes a version of the Royal coat of arms?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20When he first asked the question, my first thought was The Times.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- That was my thought as well. - But I'm trying to picture...
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Does The Sun have any coat of arms on it?- The Sun...- Or any...?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- I can only think of the red top. - Yeah.- That's all I can think of.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33The one that I was thinking that definitely had a symbol
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- was The Times, black on white. - So, we think...?- Times?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Yeah, go with Times, yeah.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40We think it's The Times, Jeremy.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43The Times is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Eggheads, in July 2015,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Yanis Varoufakis resigned as the finance minister
0:23:50 > 0:23:52of which European country?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Greece.- Greece.- That's Greece, isn't it?- Greece, yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59He was the Greek finance minister.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Yes. Basically, the most famous finance minister in the world.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Yeah.- For a while, yeah. - Greece is right.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Your question, Quizee McRascal.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10The writing material called vellum
0:24:10 > 0:24:12is traditionally made from which material?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I wouldn't have thought it would have been bamboo
0:24:17 > 0:24:21cos I thought vellum was used in Britain in medieval times.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24My gut reaction was calfskin
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- because vellum - you have veal, you have...- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Velvet.- ..veau in French, or velvet. - Yeah.- Which is a...?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- I'm not sure. - We don't really care about that.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Yeah, but I think if we're going velvet,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38we've got the link there to calfskin.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- So, I think... Happy to go with that?- I think...
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- It's logical enough. - I'd be happy with that.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Calfskin, Jeremy.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Calfskin is the right answer. You are playing well.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52HE CHUCKLES Little shiver of anticipation
0:24:52 > 0:24:56for these Eggheads. They know when there's a good team in the house.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57- Oh, definitely.- They really do.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00They see a lot of them. OK, Eggheads, your second question.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Get one of these wrong,
0:25:01 > 0:25:02- we know what'll happen.- Yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- You won't get a second chance with this lot.- No.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Here is your next question.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12Which current assay office in the UK has a castle as its hallmark?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- Edinburgh, isn't it? - Edinburgh.- It's Edinburgh.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Birmingham's got an anchor
0:25:19 > 0:25:20and London's got the leopard's head.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Yeah.- So, it's Edinburgh.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25That is Edinburgh.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28You seemed very certain. The answer is Edinburgh. Well done.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Two out of two for you as well. Back to our Challengers.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37Which English model, born in 1978, is a keen racing driver
0:25:37 > 0:25:42and also competed at the 2001 Women's World Polo Championships?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I have absolutely no idea.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53There have been questions about English models before,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55and the date of birth has come up.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I'm sure Naomi Campbell is older than that.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Yeah, that's what I was thinking.- So I don't think it's Naomi Campbell.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- My inclination is to go with Agyness Deyn.- Yeah.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08But it's not really based on much.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Do we think that name looks the sort of name
0:26:10 > 0:26:13that's more likely to have competed in a polo world championship?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I have absolutely no idea. I...
0:26:16 > 0:26:17- It could be any one of them.- Yeah.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I think that might be logic enough to go on it - the name.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21OK, we don't know this, Jeremy,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24but we're going to go with Agyness Deyn.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Agyness Deyn is your answer. See if the Eggheads know.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- ALL:- Jodie Kidd.- Jodie Kidd, yeah.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Well, I said that they mustn't let you in, and you've let them in,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38and this could be over all too quickly
0:26:38 > 0:26:40if the Eggheads get this right.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42So, it's all on the third question now.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Eggheads, which astronomer wrote the novel entitled Contact,
0:26:46 > 0:26:51later made into a film starring Jodie Foster?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- I'm reasonably sure it's Sagan. - Yeah, I thought it was Sagan.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- I don't know.- I don't recall Hubble or Tombaugh
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- ever having been noted for... - Novel writing.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07For novel writing.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Whereas Carl Sagan did occasionally turn his hand to fiction.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Yeah, OK.- So, go with that, yeah?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Yeah, no, go with that.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Not 100% certain, but we think the one there
