0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads, and I don't even know why I say possibly. You clearly are, aren't you?

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hostage to fortune if you say that, Jeremy.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Look at them very quietly saying, "Yes, we are."

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Taking on the awesome might of the Eggheads today

0:00:42 > 0:00:44are Right Choice from Hampshire.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47This team of colleagues all work for the same youth charity

0:00:47 > 0:00:51- based in the New Forest. Let's meet them.- Hi. I'm Chris.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54I'm the charity chief executive.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi. I'm Alice. I'm a PR and social media officer.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Dulcie and I'm a lead youth officer.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Jan and I'm a youth services manager.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08- Hi, I'm Kat and I'm a youth advisor. - So, Chris, team, welcome.- Thank you.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12Good to see you. The youth charity is called what?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15It's called It's Your Choice. It's been around for 28 years.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19We support around 3,500 young people a year who live

0:01:19 > 0:01:22in and around the New Forest on issues like homelessness

0:01:22 > 0:01:26and mental health, supporting young people into education,

0:01:26 > 0:01:28training, employment.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Some young people have issues with substance misuse.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Those sorts of problems.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Whatever they need, we give them support with that.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38I'm thinking this is right up your street, CJ. The sort of thing you support.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41It's the sort of work I am very much involved with.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Especially homelessness. That's an absolute passion of mine.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- It's a huge problem where we work. - And tell me about the quizzing.

0:01:48 > 0:01:53At what point do you get together, put all that to one side and have a serious quiz?

0:01:53 > 0:01:57We've quizzed individually, but not as a team,

0:01:57 > 0:02:00so we're starting right at the top.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04You've come together today as individual quizzers to make a team.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- That's correct.- Well, good luck against the Eggheads.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:13 > 0:02:17that prize money rolls over to our next show. Now, Right Choice,

0:02:17 > 0:02:21I can tell you the Eggheads are on one heck of a roll.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23- They've won the last 23 games.- Wow!

0:02:23 > 0:02:25But you know what that means.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27The jackpot is £24,000.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30That's the money that says you can't beat them.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32I'd love you to do it. Mustn't say that.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Who would like this? - Who's going to take Geography, guys?

0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Isn't that you, Kat? - That's me, isn't it?

0:02:42 > 0:02:44OK, Kat. Straight to it.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Against which Egghead? Any one of the five.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Let's see if we can peel them apart. - Who's good at Geography?

0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Do you want to go for Barry? - That's fine.- Try Barry.- Take Barry.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- We'll go for Barry, please, Jeremy. - OK.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59So, Kat from Right Choice versus Barry from the Eggheads.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Any questions on Japan, Barry likes. There the whole time, aren't you?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04I wish I was!

0:03:04 > 0:03:07To ensure there's no conferring, would you please

0:03:07 > 0:03:10take your positions in our Question Room?

0:03:10 > 0:03:14- So, you travel a bit, Kat? - Yeah. Try to.

0:03:14 > 0:03:20- I gather not so much in your own car?- No. Not at the moment anyway.

0:03:20 > 0:03:26- How is the driving test going?- It's going OK. I'm persisting, at best.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Sensitively, tell us how many times you've failed.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32- I think we're up to number 17 and we're still going.- OK.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36And the failures, are they all for the same reason?

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Like you reverse instead of driving forward?- No, various reasons.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Mainly for traumatising the examiner.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45You know. I've done numerous things.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48I've driven into things, I've closed my eyes when a lorry went past.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50It's just not good. I'm going to get a horse.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53There was somebody in the area my parents live who...

0:03:53 > 0:03:57The examiner fell out of the car when they were taking a corner.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00I haven't done that yet, so, I mean... There's time.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04- One for your bucket list. Good luck. I hope you pass soon.- Thank you.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07And here we are on Geography against Barry.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Here is your question, Kat. Good luck.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18The US state of Florida is bordered by which ocean?

0:04:22 > 0:04:26I have been to Florida, but it's not jumping out at me.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30I know it's not the Indian. I'm going to say Atlantic.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Atlantic is spot on. Well done. Well done. Barry, your question.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Which French city is known as the capital of the Alps?

0:04:42 > 0:04:47I think, the capital of the Alps, it must be Grenoble.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Grenoble is the right answer.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54OK, Kat. Here's your question.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57The town of Beaumaris lies at the north-eastern end

0:04:57 > 0:04:59of which body of water?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Erm... This is a difficult one. I think...

0:05:07 > 0:05:09I don't think it's the Solent cos that's near me

0:05:09 > 0:05:13and I certainly haven't heard that term. Erm...

0:05:13 > 0:05:15The Wash, I'm not...

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm going to go with the Menai Strait.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21- The Menai Strait is the right answer.- OK.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23OK. Barry.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27Which of these Australian states shares a border

0:05:27 > 0:05:28with Western Australia?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Ah, yes. It's not Victoria.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42I think Queensland is separated by Northern Territories

0:05:42 > 0:05:45from Western Australia, so I think it must be South Australia.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Well done, Barry. Is that on your list? Or have you been there?- No.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49It's very much on my list, is Australia.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51I've many friends in Australia.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Many Australian friends and I'd love to visit them.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Because Eggheads is played there, isn't it?

0:05:56 > 0:06:00- So you might get recognised.- It is. Big hit over there. We're popular.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Would you bring your stand along which says "Meet Barry Simmons"

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- if you went to Australia? - No. I'd bring my wife, Jeremy.

0:06:09 > 0:06:14OK. Kat. Abidjan is a chief port in which country?

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Abidjan spelt A-B-I-D-J-A-N.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28I think I'd go for Cameroon.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Cos it's a bit French sounding. - Ah-ha.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35- It is Cote d'Ivoire, as a matter of fact.- Oh, no.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38A chance for Barry to take the round on the third question.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41The Shinano River, which for part of its length is also known

0:06:41 > 0:06:45as the Chikuma River, is the longest river in which country?

0:06:48 > 0:06:51It sounds Japanese

0:06:51 > 0:06:55but I think the longest river in Japan might be the Bifue.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57I'm going to go for South Korea.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01I was sort of saying earlier on, your best subject is what, Barry?

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- You're going to tell me it's Japan now, aren't you?- Yeah.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Your strongest bit of geography is Japan and it is Japan

0:07:09 > 0:07:11and you got it wrong. How does that work?

0:07:11 > 0:07:15- I had another river in my mind for Japan.- So you're equal after three.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17We go to Sudden Death. Kat.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21The Great Slave Lake is a major lake on which continent?

0:07:22 > 0:07:24South America?

0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's actually in Canada, so it's North America.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Barry, for the round.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34The most easterly point on the Arabian peninsula is in which country?

0:07:34 > 0:07:38The Arabian peninsula is roughly triangular

0:07:38 > 0:07:44and the country in the north-east is Oman, so I'll go for Oman.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Can you visualise the map in your head as you say that?

0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Are you one of these... - Roughly, yes.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53You've got an amazing facility there. Right. Well done.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Good quizzing. That's a tough question. Oman is right. Sorry, Kat.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00On Sudden Death he's knocked you out and he will be in the final, not you.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Please return to us and we'll play on.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07So, Right Choice are a brain down but plenty of time yet

0:08:07 > 0:08:12and as members of a charity you are always hopeful and optimistic about the future.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- We certainly are. - OK. The next subject for you

0:08:15 > 0:08:17is Film and TV. Who'd like this?

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- It's got to be me. - Is it Dulcie?- Yeah.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Who do you want to play against, Dulcie?

0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Did you want to go against Chris? - Chris?- Yeah, I think so.- OK.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30- So it's going to be Dulcie against Chris.- Dulcie, OK, in the middle.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34On Film and TV. From Right Choice. Versus Chris from the Eggheads.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37To ensure there's no conferring, would you please

0:08:37 > 0:08:39take your positions in our Question Room?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43So, Dulcie, what's your preferred Film and TV?

0:08:43 > 0:08:49I quite like horror, so I watch quite a lot of horror films.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54I love horror but my wife won't let me watch it unless I'm on my own.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Have you got a partner who can actually enjoy it with you?

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Yeah, my husband. He will watch horror with me.

0:09:00 > 0:09:05- He's not a great fan but he's not a baby about it.- It's Film and TV.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Would you like to go first or second?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I think I'll go first, please.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Here is your question, Dulcie.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Which of these films was originally released in the 1940s?

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh. Erm...

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Well, I... Originally?

0:09:29 > 0:09:32So it means they were obviously done again

0:09:32 > 0:09:35cos I think of them all as being done later.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Erm...

0:09:37 > 0:09:39I don't think it would be Dr No.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45So I'm torn between Breakfast at Tiffany's or Citizen Kane.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Erm... It's a bit of a guess.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51I'm going to go with Citizen Kane.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Brilliant. You got it. Well done. Citizen Kane it is.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Tricky, tricky. OK, Chris.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Which show, regularly presented by Chris Evans,

0:10:02 > 0:10:05returned for a one-off special in June 2015?

0:10:11 > 0:10:13That's an interesting question.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Now, most iconic of those and the one most likely to

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- return for a one-off special is The Big Breakfast.- OK.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25- It's wrong, I'm afraid. It was TFI Friday.- Oh.

0:10:25 > 0:10:30OK, back to you, Dulcie. This is good. You're in the lead.

0:10:30 > 0:10:36In which year was the UK TV game show Family Fortunes first broadcast?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Now, I remember...

0:10:43 > 0:10:47Was it Les Dennis? Did he do the hosting of it?

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Was it him? Is that the right show? Family Fortunes? Erm...

0:10:56 > 0:11:00I'm going to go with - cos it's a bit of a guess -

0:11:00 > 0:11:021980s?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05- 1980.- 1980 is correct.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11OK, well done, Dulcie. Playing well here. Chris is on the ropes.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Which 2010 animated film features the three orphan girls,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Margot, Edith and Agnes?

0:11:23 > 0:11:26They're the three rather sweet little girls in Despicable Me.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Despicable Me is the right answer. Well done. You saw it...

0:11:29 > 0:11:32- You didn't see it at the cinema, did you?- Oh, no.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Cos you don't go to the cinema.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Dulcie. What is the first name of the actress who

0:11:37 > 0:11:43appeared in Martha Marcy May Marlene and Avengers: Age of Ultron,

0:11:43 > 0:11:48who is the younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen?

0:11:51 > 0:11:55This is really hard because I remember seeing something

0:11:55 > 0:11:58written about her and now I'm trying to remember what her name is.

0:12:01 > 0:12:08I think for some reason Elizabeth seems to be ringing a bell

0:12:08 > 0:12:10so I'm going to go with Elizabeth.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13You've got it bang on. Well done.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16And you've got three out of three, so Dulcie, well done.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18You've knocked Chris out. There's no way back for him.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22His wrong answer has been fatal. He will not be in the final. You will.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Come back and we'll see what happens next.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29So, as it stands, Right Choice have lost one brain from the final round.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32The Eggheads have lost one as well. Well played, Dulcie.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Let's see what happens next. It's Politics. Who's the politician?

0:12:35 > 0:12:39Well, I think that's going to be Jan. Yep.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- OK, Jan.- Who?

0:12:41 > 0:12:45- Up against CJ?- CJ? - Yeah, go on. Let's have CJ.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Jan will go up against CJ, Jeremy.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Jan from Right Choice versus CJ from the Eggheads. He's like, yep!

0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Happy with that?- Happy with Politics.- You do like your Politics.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56To ensure there's no conferring,

0:12:56 > 0:12:58please take your positions in the Question Room.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02So, we are on Politics. Jan, would you like to go first or second?

0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'd like to go second, please.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08CJ, your first question.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Which of these is one of the currencies

0:13:10 > 0:13:13replaced by the euro in 2002?

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Well, I think the shekel is Israel and the baht is Thailand.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27The escudo is Portugal which I think is in Europe so I'll try the escudo.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31Portugal is definitely in Europe. Escudo is the right answer.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Jan, your question.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37In which year did journalist Martin Bell famously defeat Neil Hamilton

0:13:37 > 0:13:40in the general election to become the MP for Tatton?

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Right. 2010 is too late. Erm...

0:13:47 > 0:13:53Just trying to think whether it would be as early as 1983.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Or whether actually it was a bit later.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02I'm going to go down the middle. 1997. I think it was a bit later.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04- 1997.- Yes, it was 1997.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08It was the first year of the Tony Blair landslide. OK, CJ.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10What is the name of the official residence

0:14:10 > 0:14:13of the Speaker of the House of Commons?

0:14:18 > 0:14:22This is one of those where I've heard of one of those answers...

0:14:25 > 0:14:28..and I'm just wondering if I've heard it because it's

0:14:28 > 0:14:31the answer to the question or it's just something else.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33It's not Speaker's Palace.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37I'm sure I've heard of Speaker's Lodge.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39But have I heard of Speaker's House?

0:14:41 > 0:14:44If it is Speaker's House, I apologise because it is nagging me

0:14:44 > 0:14:48but I have to go with my first instinct, which was Speaker's Lodge.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Yes, it's a tricky old question, this.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Not mentioned that much, although they had a bit of a refurb

0:14:53 > 0:14:55so it came into the news.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58The refurbishment was done in Speaker's House. CJ.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Speaker's House. It was nagging you for a reason.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Oh, never ignore the nag.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05OK, Jan, your question.

0:15:05 > 0:15:10Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, third Marquis of Salisbury,

0:15:10 > 0:15:12first became British Prime Minister in which year?

0:15:18 > 0:15:22Robert Gascoyne-Cecil? Not a name that I know.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Um...

0:15:26 > 0:15:301905, I think.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33- OK. And this gentleman was known as Lord Salisbury, was he not?- Yep.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35- And is she right?- No.- No.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39- 1885.- 1885. Not the 20th century.- Oh!

0:15:41 > 0:15:44You're level, one point each. Third question. CJ?

0:15:44 > 0:15:49The Bishop of Urgell is one of the two co-princes of which country?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52CJ, Urgell is U-R-G-E-L-L.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Again, not a name I've heard of.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00But I can't imagine it's Monaco.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04That's... Surely the Grimaldis have got that all tied up?

0:16:04 > 0:16:09Just going on the language more than anything else, I mean, Andorra?

0:16:11 > 0:16:16I mean, the name obviously sounds more French.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Has Andorra got princes? I don't know.

0:16:20 > 0:16:26But I think Luxembourg does have princes as well as a government.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29And, certainly, the language is leading me towards Luxembourg

0:16:29 > 0:16:33rather than the other two. So, I will try Luxembourg.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35OK, Barry, I'm going to ask you for this answer.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Andorra has two co-regents,

0:16:37 > 0:16:40the Bishop of Urgell, and the French President.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Ah, I see. And Luxembourg, no? - No.- The Grand Duke.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Grand Duke, Luxembourg has a Grand Duke.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50And Andorra has two co-princes, Barry says.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Two co-regents. - Co-regents.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55- One is this fella. And then the President of France.- Yes.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Sorry, CJ, you got it wrong.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01Jen. Your third question, get this right, you're in the final.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03We are playing for £24,000.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Which politician told the BBC that he would eat his hat

0:17:06 > 0:17:11if the exit polls for the 2015 general election were right?

0:17:15 > 0:17:19I actually know the answer to this one, I saw him on television,

0:17:19 > 0:17:24on election night. And, yeah, it's Paddy Ashdown.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26But I haven't actually seen him eat his hat yet.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29JEREMY LAUGHS So, you were watching the programme?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Yes.- Did you enjoy it?

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- It was an interesting night. - Yeah, it was amazing.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37And we were sweating on the exit poll, that's for sure.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39But it turned out to be right because the guy who did it

0:17:39 > 0:17:41was a bit of a genius, John Curtice.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43So, it was Paddy Ashdown who had to eat his hat.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45You've done really well there.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47I think, on the matter of the hat,

0:17:47 > 0:17:52somebody made him a chocolate cake in a hat shape, and he ate that.

0:17:52 > 0:17:53- That's cheating. - Typical, isn't?

0:17:53 > 0:17:56You never quite get what was promised.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Anyway, well done, Jan.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Sorry, CJ. Sin-bin for you. Jan's in the final.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04The Challengers are winning, and there's a lot of money to play for.

0:18:04 > 0:18:05Please come back, we'll get on with it.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09It's looking rather good for Right Choice.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11They've lost a brain from the final round.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13But they have taken out two Egghead brains.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16The Eggheads started with this little bit of jaunty swagger.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's gone, it's completely gone!

0:18:18 > 0:18:20You can see the fear in their eyes now.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22The next subject is Music.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23Who's the musician?

0:18:23 > 0:18:27- It's got to be you. - Got to be you, Alice.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Who are we going to have?- Alice? OK.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31And you can have either Judith or Kevin,

0:18:31 > 0:18:33- so, one of the two on the right. - I think we'll go for Judith.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36- I think we'll go for Judith, please, Jeremy.- Good stuff.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40Alice, from Right Choice, versus Judith from the Eggheads, on Music.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42And, to ensure there's no conferring,

0:18:42 > 0:18:43please go to our special room.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47So, we're getting closer to the all-important final.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48Last round before it is Music.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51And, Alice, would you like to go first or second?

0:18:51 > 0:18:53I think I'll go first.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Here is your question.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Which of these musicians died first, Alice?

0:19:04 > 0:19:11I want to say that they all died quite young, maybe. Um...

0:19:11 > 0:19:14But I'm not...not sure.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18I think I'll go straight down the middle and go for Elvis Presley.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Elvis? Anyone on your side know?

0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Buddy Holly.- Yeah, Buddy Holly, plane crash, in, I think, the '50s.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28- Was it '58, '59, when was it? - '59.- '59.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Elvis, '77. Jim Morrison?

0:19:30 > 0:19:33- '71 he died.- OK, '71. He was in his 20s when he died.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35He was one of the 27s.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Oh, 27, OK.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Jim and Elvis died in the '70s. Buddy was the '50s.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Judith, your question to take the lead.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47"Friday night, and the lights are low,"

0:19:47 > 0:19:50is a line from which Abba song? I'm not singing it.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53"Friday night, and the lights are low,"

0:19:53 > 0:19:55is a line from which Abba song?

0:19:58 > 0:20:02- UNDER HER BREATH - # Friday night, lights are low. #

0:20:02 > 0:20:05I think it's Dancing Queen. Is it?

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Can you sing it for us? - No, I certainly can't.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10You did, you sung it under your breath just then.

0:20:10 > 0:20:11I can hear it in my head.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13# Friday night and the lights are low. #

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Dancing Queen, well done.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Your question, Alice. Whose performance at Glastonbury 2015

0:20:21 > 0:20:25was interrupted when the comedian Lee Nelson ran on stage?

0:20:29 > 0:20:32I think I remember seeing something on the news about him

0:20:32 > 0:20:33being quite offended by this,

0:20:33 > 0:20:37and I think the other two would take it quite well.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41So, I think it's Kanye West.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44It is Kanye West. Well done, yeah, absolutely.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Judith.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50Jade Thirlwall has found fame as a member of which girl group?

0:20:54 > 0:20:58I have absolutely not the faintest idea. Um...

0:20:58 > 0:21:00I'm going to say Little Mix.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Little Mix is right.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Well, it was an instinct, actually.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06So...

0:21:06 > 0:21:08two to the Eggheads, one to our challenger.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Alice, you need to get this one right.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14In which UK city is the Northern Chamber Orchestra based?

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Well, the answer that popped into my head was Newcastle.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22But that's not an option!

0:21:22 > 0:21:23LAUGHTER

0:21:24 > 0:21:25Um...

0:21:27 > 0:21:30I'm going to go straight down the middle again, I think Manchester.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I get the feeling their universities might have

0:21:33 > 0:21:37quite a good reputation for music. So, Manchester.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41Yeah, it is Manchester. Good stuff. Got it right.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43So, Judith, this is for the round,

0:21:43 > 0:21:46because of Alice's wrong answer earlier.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48If you get it wrong, we go to Sudden Death.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52A cover of which James Bond theme song provided Guns N' Roses

0:21:52 > 0:21:56with a UK top ten hit in 1991?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Live And Let Die.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07If you have it right,

0:22:07 > 0:22:09you are in the final round.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12- Written by McCartney, I think. - Yeah, McCartney.- Yeah.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Live And Let Die is the right answer. Well done.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16- It was a good guess. - So, Judith, you are in the final.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Sorry, Alice, she's knocked you out and you won't be in the final round,

0:22:19 > 0:22:21but your team is still doing pretty well.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25Let's see if you can win the money. Come back and we'll play the final.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28And this is what we have been playing towards.

0:22:28 > 0:22:29It's time for our final round.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31As always, it is General Knowledge,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:22:34 > 0:22:36won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38So, Alice and Kat from Right Choice,

0:22:38 > 0:22:40and CJ and Chris from the Eggheads,

0:22:40 > 0:22:43would you please now leave the studio?

0:22:43 > 0:22:48Chris, Dulcie and Jan, you are playing to win Right Choice £24,000.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Wow.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Eggheads, you're playing to protect that jackpot.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54You're playing for your reputation.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58They're all going to be General Knowledge -

0:22:58 > 0:23:00you can confer with each other.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01So, Right Choice, the question is,

0:23:01 > 0:23:06can your three brains defeat these three mega-brains over here?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Catch them off guard - take them down.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10Would you like to go first or second?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19OK, Chris and team, here we go. General Knowledge. First question...

0:23:19 > 0:23:21The mythical land called Avalon

0:23:21 > 0:23:24features in the stories about which figure?

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- I think it's definitely King Arthur. - OK, it's King Arthur, yeah.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Yeah. Camelot, yeah. - No, I'm unsure, so...

0:23:33 > 0:23:35- No, King Arthur, I think probably that.- OK, yeah.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39Well, we know it's not Robin Hood, Jeremy, or Ivanhoe.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40We're fairly confident

0:23:40 > 0:23:42that it's King Arthur.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44King Arthur is quite right.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45Well done.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49OK, Eggheads, which businessman

0:23:49 > 0:23:52did Wendi Deng marry in 1999?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Rupert Murdoch.- Rupert Murdoch. - Yes.- Was it?

0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Mm-hmm.- Yeah. - She married Rupert Murdoch.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02She married Rupert Murdoch. You're right.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04They're not together any more,

0:24:04 > 0:24:06- I don't think.- No.- No.- OK.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Right Choice,

0:24:08 > 0:24:11which team knocked England out of the Women's Football World Cup

0:24:11 > 0:24:12in 2015?

0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Japan.- Japan. They got to the semifinals, didn't they?

0:24:18 > 0:24:19They scored, and then Japan scored.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22- It was Japan who knocked them out, I'm sure.- Definitely.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Yeah, well, they did really well, Jeremy,

0:24:24 > 0:24:27They got to the semifinals, I think, and I think they played

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Japan in the semifinals and got knocked out by Japan.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Japan is correct.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33- Yes.- Yes.- Nicely done.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Two out of two. Eggheads,

0:24:35 > 0:24:38in the UK, for what does the letter P stand

0:24:38 > 0:24:41in the name of the veterinary charity the PDSA?

0:24:45 > 0:24:47- People.- People's.- People's Dispensary for Sick Animals.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49People's Dispensary for Sick Animals, yeah.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52The full thing is the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals,

0:24:52 > 0:24:54so it's people's.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56You didn't even hesitate. Impressive.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58People's is correct.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00So, it's tight.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02We're playing for £24,000.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Third question, often crucial, here it is.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08In the Dickens work Dombey And Son,

0:25:08 > 0:25:12what first name is shared by Mr Dombey and his son?

0:25:16 > 0:25:18I don't think it's Gregory.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20- I don't know. - Do you not think it's Gregory?

0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Do you think it is?- I don't know at all on this, I'm afraid.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24I think it's Robert.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27I don't think it's Paul, so do we think it's Robert or Gregory?

0:25:27 > 0:25:29What makes you think it's Robert, Jan?

0:25:29 > 0:25:32Robert seems more of a...

0:25:32 > 0:25:33I don't know. Victorian name, is it?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35We have to give an answer, so let's...

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Shall we go for...? You came in at Robert, Jan, or shall we?

0:25:38 > 0:25:40It doesn't matter.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41- We've got too much pressure.- No?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43- We'll go for it, yeah.- Go for it.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45We don't really know this, Jeremy,

0:25:45 > 0:25:50but we think we're going to take a stab at Robert.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Third question, here. Let's see if the Eggheads know. Do you know?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Paul.- Paul.- Paul.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Paul is the answer.

0:25:58 > 0:25:59OK, Eggheads, here we are again.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02You have matters in your hands now.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04If you get this right, the contest is over.

0:26:04 > 0:26:09Which daughter of Queen Victoria was the mother of Alexandra Feodorovna,

0:26:09 > 0:26:11the wife of Tsar Nicholas II?

0:26:15 > 0:26:19- I don't know, straight off. - No. Um...

0:26:19 > 0:26:22OK, let's think who they all married. Um...

0:26:22 > 0:26:24So she was the...

0:26:24 > 0:26:26I mean, Alexandra was...

0:26:28 > 0:26:30"..of Hesse", wasn't she? I think.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Was she?- Alexandra of Hesse... Alexandra of...

0:26:33 > 0:26:34The one who married Nicholas II,

0:26:34 > 0:26:37- so Queen Victoria's granddaughter, she...- Yes.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41- I think she was the Princess of Hesse, or "Hess-e."- Was she?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43So it's who...

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Who married the Prince of Hesse?

0:26:45 > 0:26:48I... I don't know why, I'm having a sort of blip.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51- I have an inkling for Alice but I don't know why.- Yes, so do I.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53I have an inkling for Alice.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54I think Louise married...

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Isn't she the one who married the Duke of Cornwall?

0:26:58 > 0:27:00She was one of the younger ones, wasn't she?

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Cos obviously...

0:27:02 > 0:27:06um, Alexandra and Nicholas were already...

0:27:06 > 0:27:10- you know, obviously, married, then. - Mm-hmm.- That was 1894,

0:27:10 > 0:27:12when he came to the throne,

0:27:12 > 0:27:15- so it's got to be one of the older daughters.- Yeah.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17My instinct is Alice, but I've no great...

0:27:17 > 0:27:19- My instinct is Alice too. - Well, my instinct...

0:27:19 > 0:27:21The three of our instincts are Alice, which...

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Yeah, I've no great confidence in it, but...

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Does three instincts make an inkling?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- I think, on balance, we all have an instinct for Alice.- Yeah.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31We've got an instinct for Alice. OK.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33- All of us.- I mean it could be...

0:27:33 > 0:27:36- It could be because Alexandra was known as "Alix"...- Alix of Hesse.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39..so we could be being fooled by that, but we're not sure, basically.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44We should know this, but we don't think it's Louise.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48A little bit of a problem with the other two,

0:27:48 > 0:27:51but, on balance, we'll go for Alice.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Names, easy, but you've struggled.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Mmm.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59You have got it right. The answer is Alice.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02Well done, Eggheads, we say congratulations. You've won again.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10Always fascinating, when they have to work their way to it.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12Well, commiserations, Right Choice.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14They won on a difficult question

0:28:14 > 0:28:16and they've done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:16 > 0:28:17This winning streak continues,

0:28:17 > 0:28:20so it does mean you won't be going home with the £24,000.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24The money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, well done.

0:28:24 > 0:28:25You're looking impregnable,

0:28:25 > 0:28:28but there are just moments when I wonder.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers

0:28:31 > 0:28:36will have the brains to defeat them and win £25,000.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
