0:00:05 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Looking steely.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Fine fettle. In fine fettle.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38OK, well, let's see what happens here.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are the
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Holistic Shoehorns.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44This team of colleagues from
0:00:44 > 0:00:45South Wales all work together
0:00:45 > 0:00:48in the insurance department of a major bank.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Liz and I'm an account manager.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm James and I'm a pricing manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Dave and I'm an account assistant.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Chris and I'm a pricing analyst.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Naomi and I'm also a pricing analyst.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05So, Liz, team, welcome. Thank you. Good to see you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I've got to ask about the team name - Holistic Shoehorns.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Please, explain. There's so much jargon in the business
0:01:11 > 0:01:14that everything has to be looked at with a holistic view,
0:01:14 > 0:01:19everything tries to be shoehorned into something that's live or into
0:01:19 > 0:01:21a project that's ongoing, so we thought,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23let's have a little bit of fun with it
0:01:23 > 0:01:24and become the Holistic Shoehorns,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26cos we are shoehorned together.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And you quiz, as well, I gather.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32A little bit. A little bit for charity, we have done.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Not very successfully, unfortunately!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37OK. Well, listen, this is going to be exciting,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40cos everyday there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Challengers, but we obviously let the money pile up if people don't win it.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48And what has happened here is that the Eggheads have won the last 26.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Ooh! 26 games.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51So they're on a run.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I don't think I've seen a run like this before,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56so ?27,000 is here for you to win today.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59You timed it right. Or I suppose you might have timed it very badly,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01given that they're doing so well.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So let's get cracking, shall we?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07OK. First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Who would like this? OK, so...
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Who did we say before? Yeah.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Yep, I'll take Sport. Are we still happy...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Dave, are you happy to still take Sport?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Yep, of course, yep. I'll take Sport, Jeremy.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19OK, so, Dave, against which of these five?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I'll go up against Lisa, please.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So our Holistic Shoehorn against Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32So here we are on Sport, good luck with that.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Would you like to go first or second? First, please.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39OK, so Sport.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Your first question, Dave.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Which Formula One driver won his third British Grand Prix in 2015?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Er, I think I'm going to go with Lewis Hamilton, Jeremy.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Lewis Hamilton is the right answer.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Well done. Lisa, over to you - Sport.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Excluding qualifying, but including the middle Sunday,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01which is traditionally a rest day,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03the Wimbledon Tennis Championships
0:03:03 > 0:03:05usually take place over how many days?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Right, OK.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14So, you start on the Monday with round one, you tick through,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17you have your rest on the Sunday and then the women's final's usually
0:03:17 > 0:03:21played on the Saturday of the following week and the men's final
0:03:21 > 0:03:24on the Sunday, which I think would bring us up to a full 14 days.
0:03:24 > 0:03:2614 days is correct.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Well done. Back to you, Dave.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Turf Moor is home to which English football club?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Erm, well, I'm very fond of my football and I've actually been to
0:03:38 > 0:03:42this ground myself, so I'm going to go with Burnley, Jeremy.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Burnley's correct.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Good stuff.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Lisa, in 2014, Katy McLean captained
0:03:48 > 0:03:52England's women to World Cup victory in which sport?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58The Cricket World Cup... Ain't going to be that.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00And we didn't win the football. Must be rugby union.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Rugby union is right.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04OK, perfect round so far, two each.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Dave, this could be a key question, the third one.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Hold focus here. In the early part of the 20th century,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13who scored a century at Lord's,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15captained England at football and
0:04:15 > 0:04:18won the men's tennis doubles at both
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Wimbledon and in the Olympics?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Erm...I'm not 100% sure on this one.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32So I think I'm going to have to take a bit of a guess
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and probably go with Max Woosnam.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Well, you are right, Max Woosnam it is.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39You got three out of three there, Dave, brilliant. Thank you.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41See if you've cooked up some trouble for Lisa.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Where did the 2015 Tour de France begin?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I have a feeling it was Rotterdam.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I do hate it when geography sneaks into Sport, it's very, very unfair.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I THINK it's the Netherlands, I'll say the Netherlands.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Netherlands is the right answer.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03So you've both got three.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06You're level. And that means it goes to Sudden Death.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08This could be a gruelling contest.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12So, Dave, it gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14The Briton Keri-Anne Payne has won
0:05:14 > 0:05:17World Championship gold medals in which sport?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Erm...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Not entirely sure on this one.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Erm, so I'm just going to take a guess and say badminton.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Actually swimming. OK.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30First one you got wrong. Lisa, for the round - Sudden Death,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32it can all end quite quickly.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Julius Erving, spelled E-R-V-I-N-G,
0:05:35 > 0:05:37also known as Dr J,
0:05:37 > 0:05:42was a leading performer in which sport in the 1970s and '80s?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Well, let's...
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Let's start by narrowing it down,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47saying it's probably an American sport,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49because that's a terrible spelling of Irving,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52and they tend to be the ones giving out the daft nicknames,
0:05:52 > 0:05:56so the preference would be somewhere between basketball and baseball.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I don't know. I'll hazard a guess at basketball.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Eggheads, is she right?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Yes. Certainly is. Yep. Yes, you are right, Lisa.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05You've won on Sport. Sorry, Dave.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Just pipped at the post, there.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I know how good you are on this subject.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Please, come back to us, both of you, and we'll play the next round.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16So the Holistic Shoehorns have lost a brain,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19the Eggheads have still got all five in the final round,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21but let's see what happens now, shall we?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's Science.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Have we got a scientist among these bankers?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Ooh, I think we have, think we have.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yeah... Chris, are you happy...?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Yeah. Chris is... Yeah. Against which Egghead? Can't be Lisa.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Ooh. Your choice. I'll go with Pat.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Pat? Yeah. Pat, Pat.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Pat, please.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Chris from the Holistic Shoehorns
0:06:40 > 0:06:42versus Pat from the Eggheads on Science.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Please, take your positions.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Chris, you love roller coasters.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I do, yes! How many have you been on?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Oh, I haven't counted.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I've been on quite a lot. What, all over the world?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Er, there's... The ones in Britain and, er, been to Florida, as well.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00So, yeah, not many places other than that, no, but...
0:07:00 > 0:07:04OK, good stuff. Well, roller coasters to Science,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I suppose there's some kind of connection.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Er, yeah. And would you like to go first or second?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I'll go first, please.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Here we go, Chris, good luck.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Turn it round for your team.
0:07:16 > 0:07:2036 inches equates to which of these units of length?
0:07:23 > 0:07:28OK... I don't think it's foot.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Er...
0:07:29 > 0:07:33OK, I'm going to go with yard.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Yard is correct.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Pat, how many atoms of carbon are there in a single molecule of
0:07:41 > 0:07:43carbon dioxide gas?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Well, carbon dioxide is CO2.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I think it's one carbon and two oxygens, so I'll go for one.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54One is correct.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, one each.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Rhea, Phoebe and Dione
0:07:59 > 0:08:01are moons of which planet?
0:08:03 > 0:08:04OK, erm...
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I... I don't think it's Mars,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09because I think that's got two moons.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Erm, I think Saturn has quite a few moons, actually, more than three,
0:08:13 > 0:08:14so I'm going to go with Uranus.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16It's not Uranus, actually,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19and, of course, it might have more than three and still be the answer.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Oh... How many moons does Saturn have? Do you know, Eggs? 60-odd.
0:08:22 > 0:08:2560-odd. 62, isn't it? 60-odd, but these are three of Saturn's moons.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Ah! OK,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Pat, a loganberry is a cross between a raspberry and which other fruit?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Loganberry. I...I don't think it's a gooseberry,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41and I think a strawberry is far too different to be crossing.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I think it's with a blackberry.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45It is with a blackberry. Well done, Pat.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47So Pat has two and you're stuck on one, Chris.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49You've got to get this right or you'll be knocked out.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Which chemical element derives its name from the Greek for lead?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I have absolutely no idea.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Erm...
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I can't even rule any out. I'm going to go straight down the middle.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Pol... Poly...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08The middle one, please!
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Molybdenum.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Molybdenum is the right answer.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Oh!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Well done, Chris. Well done. Well done. OK,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20so you're still in it, but Pat can take the round now.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22The Belgian-born priest and scientist
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Georges Lemaitre is best known for
0:09:25 > 0:09:26his work in which area of science?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Well, there have been lots of, erm,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36priests who've made, er, strides in science, erm...
0:09:36 > 0:09:41But I think Lemaitre had several of the early ideas which went on to
0:09:41 > 0:09:43become the Big Bang theory.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Lemaitre is indeed associated with Big Bang theory, you're right, Pat.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Flawless performance from you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Sorry, Chris, very hard when they get three in a row.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54You've been knocked out and you won't be in the final round, but Pat will.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01The Holistic Shoehorns have lost two brains from the final round.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04The Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06The next subject is Film TV.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09So which Holistic Shoehorn would like this?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10I think Liz, Naomi.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12THEY CONFER QUIETLY
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Want to keep you back, Liz?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Cos we said Naomi, didn't we, for Film Television?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Are you still happy, Naomi?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Yeah. That would be good. I think you two are the strongest,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23so between you two at the end.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Sounds good. Yeah? Go for it.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27And I think... Who do we...?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29So Naomi against...
0:10:29 > 0:10:32against either Kevin, Barry or Dave on the end?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Who do you think? Shall I go Kevin?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Go Kevin. Let's try.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Kevin. Kevin, please, Jeremy.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42Brilliant. Naomi from the Holistic Shoehorns versus Kevin,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44the grandmaster from the Eggheads.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Naomi, Film TV. Would you like to go first or second?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00OK. And here is your first question, Naomi.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05In June 2015, which Hollywood couple, after ten years of marriage,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08announced their decision to divorce?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Well, I know Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
0:11:15 > 0:11:19are still together. And I think Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22So I'm going to go with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24No. It's not, actually.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26It was Ben and Jennifer.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Oh, really? You got it wrong there.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Kevin... Tiberius is the middle name
0:11:30 > 0:11:34of which major character in the 2009 film Star Trek?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Well, the other Star Trek incarnation
0:11:41 > 0:11:43sees James Tiberius Kirk.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Captain Kirk. Captain Kirk is right.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Absolutely iconic figure in science fiction.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Naomi,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52in which 2015 film does Emilia Clarke
0:11:52 > 0:11:54play the role of Sarah Connor?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Is it...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03That would be Terminator Genisys.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Terminator Genisys is quite right.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Well done. Kevin.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Colin Farrell,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Vince Vaughn and Rachel McAdams starred in the second series of
0:12:12 > 0:12:15which of these American TV dramas?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Yeah, it's a series that has different characters
0:12:21 > 0:12:24and story for each series, set in different locations.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It's True Detective.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28True Detective is correct.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31OK, Naomi, you've got one wrong, so you need to get this one right.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Which actor won his first Oscar for his performance
0:12:35 > 0:12:37in the 1955 film Mr Roberts?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44The only one I've heard of is Jack Lemmon.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I think I'll go with Jack Lemmon.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49That's how you do it! The Eggheads like this! They're laughing.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Jack Lemmon it is. Well done.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53That's the way to go. That's the way to do it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The only one you heard of is the right answer.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59So you're still in it, but Kevin can end it now.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Your third question. Which Doctor Who actor provided the voice
0:13:03 > 0:13:07for Spotty Man in the cartoon series SuperTed?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13That means nothing whatsoever, I have to say.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15The one who used to do a lot of voices,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18both from radio work and character work and all sorts of things,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20was Jon Pertwee. Maybe that's...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Maybe that's too obvious. It's not the sort of thing...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26It's the right sort of time for the others, I think. But...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'll say Jon Pertwee.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31You're amazing. Jon Pertwee is the right answer.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Well done, Kevin. You got three out of three.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Sorry, Naomi, I'm afraid it does happen with this man a bit.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39It's why they've got this huge run going on.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40You've been knocked out.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Come back to us, both of you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44We'll play the last round before the final.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Well, the Eggheads are continuing at their fearsome best here.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52The Holistic Shoehorns have now lost three.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Here they are on this side, still intact.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56One more subject before the final.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57It is Geography.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Who would like this? We discussed this on the train.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02We discussed this. It has to be...
0:14:02 > 0:14:04It HAS to be James.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05I'll have a go.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07James...against?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Shall we go...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I think either. Let's go Barry.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Cos he's closest.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13OK!
0:14:13 > 0:14:17So James from the Shoehorns, and Barry from the Eggheads,
0:14:17 > 0:14:18please, go to the special place.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Good luck, James, on Geography.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:24 > 0:14:25I'll go first, please.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34The krone is the official currency of which of these countries, James?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Is it...
0:14:38 > 0:14:42So I knew it was a Scandinavian country before the answers came up.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45So I think from the answers I've got in front of me, I'll go with Norway.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Norway is correct.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Here's your question, Barry.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50In which part of the United Kingdom
0:14:50 > 0:14:54is the rock formation known as the Giant's Causeway located?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Fortunately, my daughter-in-law is from Northern Ireland,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02and only a few months ago, she took me to the Giant's Causeway,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05so I know for a fact it's in Northern Ireland.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Northern Ireland is correct.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Beautiful bit of coast, that, isn't it?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Absolutely stunning.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13OK. James.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Rome's main airport is named after which man?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Is it...
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Not sure I know this one off the top of my head.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26But I'll try and have a look through the answers.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I think Columbus, was he Spanish?
0:15:30 > 0:15:34I know Marco Polo was Italian.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Da Vinci...
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Not sure. I'm going to go with Da Vinci,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41cos I think that probably sounds more like it's around Rome.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Yeah, it is the Da Vinci Airport.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45That's right. James, you got it right.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Well done. So two out of two for our Challengers.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49And on we go to Barry's second.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Which of these countries has the largest population, Barry?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Canada is quite a small population.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01And I think...
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I think the answer must be Argentina, there.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It is indeed Argentina.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Third question to you, James.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12The Dandenong Ranges are mountains in which country?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20So, I'm fortunate enough to have been here.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I'm fairly certain it's Australia.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Australia is correct.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25So you've made light work of that difficult question.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well done. OK, perfect round from our Challenger.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Let's see if Barry can stay in.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Which of these countries is double landlocked,
0:16:33 > 0:16:37meaning it is completely surrounded by landlocked countries?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45There are only two double landlocked countries in the world.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Lichtenstein is one of them,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49and Uzbekistan is the other.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Trust you to know that!
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Uzbekistan is the right answer.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Well done. So three each.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Good round on Geography.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59We go now to Sudden Death, James.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Hidalgo is one of the 31 states of which country?
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Given it's states and it sounds a little bit Spanish,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I'm going to plump with Mexico.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Is he right, Barry? He's spot-on.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Yeah, very good play. Mexico is correct.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Barry, which city is the capital of the Canadian territory of Yukon?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Now, I always get confused here.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I have to think about this.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29It's not Yellowknife.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31It's...
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Yukon...
0:17:35 > 0:17:38(B, C, D...)
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You going through the whole alphabet? Yes!
0:17:41 > 0:17:43See if it triggers something.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Sometimes it works.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50No, I'm afraid it's just not coming.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52It's not going to come. I'll have to pass.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'll say Yellowknife, but it's not that.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56It's not Yellowknife. How far down the alphabet did you get?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I got down to about T before I gave up.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Didn't get to W? No.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Is it Whitehorse? Yes, it is Whitehorse.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Oh! Sorry!
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I should have just continued!
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Look at that. You've managed to make an Egghead blow a gasket here.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Whitehorse is the answer, Barry.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Sorry. I feel your pain.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I feel your pain. Well done, James. You're in the final round!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Deservedly so.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29You played really well there and showed great geographical knowledge.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Barry will be poring over a map of Canada tonight, I guarantee it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35So, please, come back to us.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37We will play the final for a lot of money.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41So, it's taken a turn, hasn't it?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44And this is what we've been playing towards. It's time for the
0:18:44 > 0:18:46final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:18:49 > 0:18:50to take part in this round.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52So that's David, Chris and Naomi
0:18:52 > 0:18:55from the Holistic Shoehorns.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57And also poor old Barry, Barry Whitehorse,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59from the Eggheads.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Please, leave the studio.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Liz and James, you're playing to win the Holistic Shoehorns ?27,000.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11which is your reputation.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16This time they are all General Knowledge.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17You are allowed to confer.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19So, Holistic Shoehorns, the question is,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24And would you like to go first or second?
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Shall we go first? Yeah.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Yeah, we'll go first, please.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Here we go with your first question.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35The full name of the financial organisation
0:19:35 > 0:19:40known as the IMF is the International Monetary what?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It's Fund. It's definitely Fund. Yeah, it's Fund, Jeremy.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48It is the International Monetary Fund. Well done.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50First question to you. Eggheads,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52pancetta is what type of food?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's like bacon. It's meat.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59It's meat, isn't it? Meat.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02We believe, Jeremy, that is meat.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Yes, it's an area I have a terrible blind spot in.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Meat. Correct.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09OK, one each. Your question.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12What nickname is given to the skyscraper at 20 Fenchurch Street
0:20:12 > 0:20:17in London, which had its structural topping out in December 2012?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Is it...
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I think I know this,
0:20:23 > 0:20:24because I heard a friend of mine
0:20:24 > 0:20:26mention that there was sun reflecting
0:20:26 > 0:20:28off one of the buildings in London.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30It melted the shop...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32It was the one that looked like a walkie-talkie.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34OK. We have to go with that.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I think it's that one. We'll go with Walkie-Talkie.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40OK. We'll go with Walkie-Talkie, please, Jeremy.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Yes, Walkie-Talkie is correct.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45OK, the Challengers are ahead.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Your second question.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Which of these businessmen appeared in the top ten of the Sunday Times'
0:20:50 > 0:20:522015 Rich List?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I think it's Abramovich. My inclination would be Abramovich.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Are we all agreed? Are you all right with that, Lisa?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Did Kevin and Pat just say...?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Yeah, of course I'm all right. So Roman Abramovich.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Right, we are going to go, Jeremy, for Roman Abramovich.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I'm feeling the tension here.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Cos if you make a slip-up,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15we know what's going to happen. Yep.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16You haven't, though.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18It is Roman Abramovich.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Well done. So they've got two right, as well.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Gosh, it would have been nice if they'd messed up,
0:21:22 > 0:21:23then you'd just have had to get this right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Now, get this one right, and you can just sit back and watch them.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31OK. And hopefully they get theirs wrong, and you've got ?27,000.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You're very close to the money now.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38In 2013, Joseph Muscat became Prime Minister of which country?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Muscat. That name rings a bell,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47but I think it's a city and country somewhere, as well.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49It's a bit too geographical for my liking.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50You can't put the pressure on me!
0:21:53 > 0:21:54I've got no idea.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Is there anything you can glean from the name?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Muscat? Do we think it sounds Maltese?
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Could be. Could be, potentially.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03It doesn't sound... It sounds more Maltese than...
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Shall we rule out Dutch?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Yeah, let's rule out the Netherlands.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I think of the two...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'd be... Sounds like we're both leaning towards Malta.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Malta, yeah. It's a punt, but...
0:22:15 > 0:22:17We don't know it. We don't KNOW it.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Yeah. Happy to go with it?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's as good as any. We don't know, Jeremy, erm,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25so we're going to have to have a bit of a guess at Malta.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Malta is right. Well done.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32So you've done very well. You've got three out of three - many fail
0:22:32 > 0:22:35to do that in the final round. You couldn't have done any better.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38All we want now is for them to get their question wrong
0:22:38 > 0:22:39and you have ?27,000.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Eggheads, your third question.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Which song by Sam Smith and John Legend
0:22:46 > 0:22:48was the official 2015 Red Nose Day
0:22:48 > 0:22:50charity single?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Has anybody...
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Not got an inkling at all.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01No. Hmm. Got a vague preference
0:23:01 > 0:23:03for Lay Me Down.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Mm-hm. I couldn't tell you why.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06OK. I mean, I've heard of all three.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Yeah. All three of them are 2015 songs.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Mm-hm. I can't remember who did...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Who did what. Yes, I think...
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I'm basically positive Lay Me Down
0:23:15 > 0:23:16is a Sam Smith song. OK.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Well, that's as good as we can go for the moment.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I don't know that the rest aren't
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Sam Smith and/or John Legend.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25No bells rung in relation to Red Nose Day?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Lay Me Down sounds a bit depressing
0:23:27 > 0:23:28for Red Nose Day,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30that's the thing that's bothering me about it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32But you do think it's a Sam Smith song?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34My original thought was, yeah,
0:23:34 > 0:23:35I'm fairly confident that Lay Me Down
0:23:35 > 0:23:37had something to do with Sam Smith,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39but that's about the best I can do.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Right, we'll have to go with the instinct, I suppose.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Go with Lay Me Down. Yeah,
0:23:44 > 0:23:45I'm really starting to worry
0:23:45 > 0:23:47about the middle one, but...
0:23:47 > 0:23:48I'm sorry, gentlemen...
0:23:48 > 0:23:49OK, we'll have to take it.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50But we'll go with it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53As you can see, we're in chaos, or...
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Not in chaos, but, er...
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Close. Not there,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58but the one thing we've got to go on
0:23:58 > 0:24:00is that Sam Smith was involved with
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Lay Me Down, so that's our answer.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I'm nervous here.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06So ?27,000 on this question,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08if you have got it wrong,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10IF they're taking the money...
0:24:11 > 0:24:13..but the answer is Lay Me Down.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Well done, Lisa. Well done, Lisa.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Saviour. Anyway, there we are.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Phew! Dear me!
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Three questions each, equal. You're playing brilliantly.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Now it gets even harder.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26James knows this cos he's been through it - it's Sudden Death.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28So are you ready? I don't give you alternatives.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Hezza is a nickname for which Conservative politician?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Michael Heseltine. Michael Heseltine.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37That's the only thing that comes in... We both said it. Yeah.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38In unison. Yes,
0:24:38 > 0:24:39we both said in unison,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42the only thing we can come up with is Michael Heseltine.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Michael Heseltine is correct.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Well done. Eggheads, again, get this wrong and it's over.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Which 1956 film starring Charlton Heston was the last film directed by
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Cecil B DeMille. The Ten Commandments.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57The Ten Commandments? Yeah. OK.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59It's The Ten Commandments, Jeremy, please.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01It is indeed The Ten Commandments.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06He also directed a silent film in '23, 1923, same name.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08So, equal, Sudden Death, ?27,000.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09You're playing brilliantly.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Not a hair out of place so far.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Which English king born in 1421
0:25:14 > 0:25:16was also crowned King of France?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19So I think for that period
0:25:19 > 0:25:22we're looking at probably the Plantagenets.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Hang on, hang on, let's think.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Henry VIII was 1520-odd.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31OK. So his father was before that.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Yeah.
0:25:33 > 0:25:361480-1500, around that time.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Do you know his father's name?
0:25:39 > 0:25:40This is the bit that I'm...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42OK, ignore the name for now.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Let's go on timeline, so if we know which generation it is,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48we maybe narrow it down a bit, so we're going back one generation,
0:25:48 > 0:25:52so it's not going to be him. If it's an extra 40-60 years before him,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56are we going to go father again or two fathers?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59The thing is, though, no - it wasn't always fathers.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Like that, cos it wasn't...
0:26:01 > 0:26:05It was sons or cousins or one died and then a cousin came in.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10I'm sure it's going to be that one before Henry VII, so Edward III?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I don't think it was a Henry that early on.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Yeah, OK. If it was the latter part of the 15th century,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I would go with a Henry, but because it's so early,
0:26:20 > 0:26:21I would go with an Edward.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24So born 1421?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28They're going to come in to reign a bit later.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I think it'd be Edward III. Yeah? It's as good as anything we've got.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37Well, we don't know, but I think we're going to go with Edward III.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Edward III, it's interesting.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41OK, I've taken your answer. You are wrong,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44but you were working back in the most brilliantly logical way
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and I think you probably said the name.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52So you went Henry VIII, Henry VII, Henry VI was the correct answer.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Could so easily have said Henry VI suddenly.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I was honestly thinking you were going to.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Honestly, it was great to listen to your discussion. Sorry.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Not at all. Not finished yet, not by any means.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Sudden Death we're on.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest will be over.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Which female television presenter
0:27:07 > 0:27:09won the first prize of ?500,000
0:27:09 > 0:27:13in the European Poker Championships in 2006?
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Victoria Coren Mitchell.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15Victoria Coren Mitchell, yeah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Victoria Coren Mitchell.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Well, she was Victoria Coren at the time.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23And she's now Victoria Coren Mitchell.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24So I'll explain that.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28At the time, she was Victoria Coren,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31but she is now known as Victoria Coren Mitchell.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34The answer is Victoria Coren.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44I'm sure you knew that one.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I'd heard the name, yeah. Yeah. Oh, listen, well played.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Because to power on like that at the end,
0:27:49 > 0:27:53that was brilliant and I knew they were on the ropes there.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55You took them very close.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58What a contest. I hope you enjoyed it.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Oh, it was great fun. We did, it was great fun.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Don't regret the Henry VI, you did brilliantly there.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Thanks for coming.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Commiserations to The Holistic Shoehorns.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09I think you've been run no closer than that over the last 25,
0:28:09 > 0:28:1226 games. No. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15their winning streak does continue, only just.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18It means you won't be going home with the 27,000,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20so we take the money and we roll it over to the next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23So, Eggheads, well done. But this is a reminder for you,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26it can happen and it will happen at some point.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:28 > 0:28:31can finally win this jackpot.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34It'll be ?28,000 by then.
