0:00:04 > 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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Challenging the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are Krang's Android Body, from London.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41We definitely haven't had a team called that before.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44This friends and family team quiz together
0:00:44 > 0:00:47at The Star of Bethnal Green pub. So, let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Matt and I'm a software analyst.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Clare and I'm a nanny.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Edward and I'm a software developer.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Simon and I'm an information analyst.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm a PHD researcher
0:01:00 > 0:01:02in death and memorialisation.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05So, Matthew, team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- Hi, you too.- Hi. - Help us with the name,
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Krang's Android Body.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15We're named after a character from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The brainless body of the villain in the piece.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20And it was just an odd phrase that we chose years ago
0:01:20 > 0:01:23and ran with, and are slightly regretting now.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25And is the brainlessness, is that relevant?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Erm... We'll see, I think.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I'm just slightly worried for you here.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Would you know the reference there, Eggs?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- PAT:- No.- CJ:- Never heard of it.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36All right, you've got them outside their comfort zone.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Already they're worrying. So, good luck.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:40 > 0:01:42for our Challengers,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:44 > 0:01:46the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50So, Krang's Android Body, the Eggheads have won the last ten games,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51that's why they're smiling.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54It's good for you, cos it means £11,000 says
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- you can't beat them today. - Oh. Wow.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- So, shall we go for it? - Yeah.- OK.- Yes.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01All right, the first head-to-head battle
0:02:01 > 0:02:03is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05So, Krang's, who wants to take this?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08All right, who was it on the list?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- I think it was either you or... - It was me on the list.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- I think it was Clare on the spreadsheet.- Yeah.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- I don't mind getting it over early, that's fine.- All right.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Are you going to go for it?- Yeah, think so.- OK.- Very brave of you,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- go for it.- Thanks.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23So Clare, from Krang's Android Body, versus who?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Maybe Pat doesn't watch too much TV?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26He reads a lot of books.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Although who was it...? OK, yeah. Erm...
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Yeah, we'll go with that, cos I've got nothing. Yeah, perfect.- OK.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34- Pat.- Pat.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Right, Clare against Pat, Film & TV,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41head to the Question Room now, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43You're up against Pat on Film & TV, Clare,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and would you like to go first or second?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I'll go first, please.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Here we go with your first question.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Which of these characters appears in the film Avengers: Age Of Ultron?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03OK, I haven't seen it, but as a nanny of a seven-year-old boy
0:03:03 > 0:03:04I do...
0:03:04 > 0:03:06You know, it comes in by osmosis.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09So I'm going to go for Iron Man.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Iron Man is quite right.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Phew.- Well done.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Pat, over to you.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19George Clooney plays a character called Frank Walker
0:03:19 > 0:03:21in which 2015 film?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I think Edge Of Tomorrow,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I think that's a Tom Cruise science fiction vehicle.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37The Day After Tomorrow and Tomorrowland...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I have a suspicion that Tomorrowland was a really big budget,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43half sci-fi, half children's film, with Clooney in it,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45that disappointed at the box office.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49So I think I'll go for Tomorrowland.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Have you seen any of them?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I've seen none of those films.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I've seen Edge Of Tomorrow - you're absolutely right,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58it is Tom Cruise and it is that "kill, die, repeat" film,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00and it's not that, it is Tomorrowland.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03well done, Pat, you got it right.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Clare, which of these BBC TV sitcoms, first shown in 1975,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11was written by John Esmonde and Bob Larbey?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Erm... OK, this is really outside my comfort zone.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I would say that Fawlty Towers was written by John Cleese, I think.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Citizen Smith, I have never seen.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Good Life I quite liked, but I've got no idea who wrote it.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I'm going to go for the one that I like, which is The Good Life.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Clare, you're right, well done. The Good Life it is.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41So, Pat, your question.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Who hosted the 2015 Academy Awards ceremony?
0:04:50 > 0:04:55I know that Billy Crystal has hosted a whole load of the ceremonies,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I don't think he was in action in 2015.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02I think MacFarlane was probably 2014 or 2013.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I think I'll go for Neil Patrick Harris.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08You are right, it is Neil Patrick Harris.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10All right, Clare, your question.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Which English actor plays the role of the villainous governor
0:05:13 > 0:05:16in the US TV series The Walking Dead?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24OK, again it is not one I have seen,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28but I know that Andrew Lincoln is in it. Erm...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31So I'm just going to go with that, cos he's the only one I know
0:05:31 > 0:05:33is definitely in the programme.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Yeah, but it's wrong. It's David Morrissey actually.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38OK, Pat, yours for the round.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Who delivers the famous line "You're gonna need a bigger boat"
0:05:42 > 0:05:44in the 1975 film Jaws?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Oh...
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I think it's uttered by the actor
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Roy Scheider or Schneider.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58That doesn't help me here.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Quint, I think, is the owner of the boat,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03the Orca, and I think that's Robert Shaw.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Brody and Hooper...
0:06:07 > 0:06:12I think Scheider played the policeman, from Amity.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15But was he Brody or was he Hooper?
0:06:15 > 0:06:16I think I'll go for Brody.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18So you're thinking... Who's our choice here?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Quint you've ruled out, who was Robert Shaw...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I think the captain doesn't say it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Yeah. Now, Hooper was played by Dreyfuss, no?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Was it Richard Dreyfuss? BARRY:- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30It's definitely Roy Scheider who says it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32It's Roy Scheider who says it and you're quite right,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34he's playing the police chief, Brody.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I only know this with great conviction
0:06:36 > 0:06:38cos I've read the actual book, Jaws,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41in the last six months and really enjoyed it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43And, with that, Pat, you've taken the round.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Sorry, Clare, he's just knocked you out there.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47And you will be in the final, Pat.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Clare, you won't, but early days.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Please come back to us and we'll play on.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56So we have lost a little bit of Krang's Android Body.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Which limb has gone?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Not a very important one. Lower leg?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02That's quite important. All right,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- something less... - Early days here, early days.- Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07And the next round is Science.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10So who would like this?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- If no-one objects, I would like... - Yes.- Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Yourself? OK, Matthew, choose an Egghead.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- CJ, maybe?- Maybe, I think they're all pretty strong on Science.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Yeah, they're all quite good at Science.- Yeah, I think so.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25For no strong reason - Lisa, please.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29OK, so, you had CJ in your sights and you veered?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31We did. We're not sure why.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32So many people do.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Matt from Krang's Android Body versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:37 > 0:07:41would you please both take your positions in our Question Room?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Well, Matt, it seems like this is a great round for you,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46because you are really a scientist, aren't you?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- By training, yeah. - Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Er, I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Here we go with your first question.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01What is the scientific term for the process of water turning to steam?
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Er... I would go for Evaporation.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I'm really glad you did, it's right. Evaporation is correct.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Lisa, your question.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21In which part of the human body is the sternum located?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27The sternum's the proper name for your breastbone,
0:08:27 > 0:08:28so it must be in the chest.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30It is indeed in the chest, well done.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Back to you.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Matt, the billionaire entrepreneur and inventor Elon Musk
0:08:36 > 0:08:37was born in which country?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I was reading something about him yesterday. Erm...
0:08:44 > 0:08:46And it didn't go into this much detail.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well, he doesn't have an accent from any of those places,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52which is annoying. Erm...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54So I might have to...
0:08:54 > 0:08:57..just sort of toss a coin between South Africa and New Zealand.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I think it's... I'm going to go for South Africa.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Well, you've got it right.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- OK.- Well done. Gosh, you're good.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Lisa, caustic soda is the more common name for which chemical?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Caustic soda...
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Now, is that like baking soda or...?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28What do you use it for?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31See, I sort of want to go for Sodium Hydroxide
0:09:31 > 0:09:33but I think that might be called something else.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I'll try Sodium Hydroxide.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Barry is pleased.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44It is Sodium Hydroxide, well done. And what is it used for, Matt?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Is it a cleaning product? I'm not sure.- Is it bleaching?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Barry?- Yes, bleaching. It's very alkaline,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Sodium Hydroxide, it's nasty stuff.- OK.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56So, you've got two each.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Third question, to our challenger, and here it is...
0:09:59 > 0:10:05The musk deer, from which the substance musk is obtained,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07is native to which continent?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Erm...
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Seems like musk-themed questions.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I've recently been to Africa
0:10:18 > 0:10:20and don't recall
0:10:20 > 0:10:24musk deers being mentioned in sort of a rundown. Erm...
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I think sadly
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I'm going to have to...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31pick once again without a great deal or knowledge on this, erm,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and choose...Asia.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36But I may regret that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Asia is right.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- OK!- Nice one.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Your question will be about musk as well, no doubt, Lisa.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Can only hope.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Which American scientist, born in 1896, is credited with developing
0:10:49 > 0:10:52and producing nylon in the 1930s?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Now, you see, I thought nylon was a French thing, so
0:11:02 > 0:11:04this isn't helping, terribly.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Erm... I've got a vague feeling for Philo Farnsworth.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10He's got the coolest name, we'll go with that. Philo Farnsworth.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- CJ:- No, no, no.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Philo Farnsworth is your answer. If you've got it wrong, you're out.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I heard a groan here - Who is Philo Farnsworth, first of all?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Something to do with television and valves and tubes and things.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23He did something to do with television valves, we think.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- The answer is, Eggs? ALL:- Wallace Carothers.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27"Wallace Carothers", they all chorus.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Lisa, you're a goner.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Well done, Matt.- Thank you.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well done, you're in the final round.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Looking good for our Challengers.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Please come back, and we'll play on.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42As it stands, Krang's Android Body, the brilliantly named,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46have lost a brain, but also taken an Egghead's brain away as well.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50So, very evenly balanced and now we have Arts & Books for you.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So who would like this, of the three on the far end?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Who's our second...?- I guess I was the second on that list.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Were either of you the second? - It wasn't me.- No.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- All right, then it's going to be me. - It's going to be you.- Yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- OK, Jessica.- OK.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Which Egghead? You obviously can't have Lisa or Pat.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Well, they're all formidable at Arts & Books,
0:12:08 > 0:12:09but I will go with Dave.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Sure. So it is going to be Jessica from Krang's Android Body -
0:12:13 > 0:12:15we're calling in Dave on the end there,
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Arts & Books. Feeling good, limbering up?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Er - limbering up. Feeling good's another matter.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22OK. Just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25please go to our Question Room.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27So, Jessica, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I would like to go first, please.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Here we go.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38In the Harry Potter books, Jessica, what is a Nimbus 2000?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Ooh... Well, it has been quite a while since I
0:12:46 > 0:12:49watched or read any Harry Potter.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I'm going to say it is a broomstick.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- Well done, you got it right. - Thank you.- Good stuff.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00OK, Dave. In theatre, a passage spoken by one character
0:13:00 > 0:13:01is known by which of these names?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Well, I presume it's er...
0:13:08 > 0:13:10one, "mono" So, Monologue.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Monologue is right.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17OK, Jessica. Which of these novels was first published in 1847?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Oh...
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Right now I am going to...
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'm leaning between Wuthering Heights and Frankenstein.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I feel like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
0:13:32 > 0:13:34may have been in the late 1830s.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38My first instinct was Wuthering Heights.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40That's what I'm going to go for.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- You're right.- Yes!- Well done.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Excellent.- And let's do some dates,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46anyone do us some Frankenstein dates?
0:13:46 > 0:13:50I think they were in Italy, Byron and Shelley,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53about 1810, 1811, somewhere around that time.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Yeah, almost, it's about 1818 actually, yeah.- Oh, even earlier.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Yeah. And Doctor Zhivago? Just while we're at it.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Oh, that's modern, it's about 1940s. Late '40s, early '50s?- 1957, yeah.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- So well done, Jessica...- Thank you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08..cos you could've been drawn to Frankenstein there,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11as so many of us are.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Right, Dave. Edgar Allan Poe
0:14:12 > 0:14:15wrote a famous poem about which of these birds?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Don't think it's Albatross, don't think it's Cuckoo,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I think it's The Raven.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25It is indeed The Raven, well done. So two points each.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Third question, Jessica -
0:14:26 > 0:14:28oh, this is a tight contest. SHE LAUGHS
0:14:28 > 0:14:30All the way down the line. Here it is.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33The German architect Walter Gropius
0:14:33 > 0:14:36set up and ran which famous design school
0:14:36 > 0:14:39in Weimar from 1919?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46It's erm... I recently wrote a piece about this
0:14:46 > 0:14:50and I'm hoping to go to the museum dedicated to the subject in Berlin.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52And I am pretty sure it's Bauhaus.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55It is, absolutely, Bauhaus, well done. Well done.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57OK, Dave, this is looking sticky now.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Bleak. Looking bleak.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Which American author wrote the novels From Here To Eternity
0:15:03 > 0:15:05and The Thin Red Line?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I'm going to rule out James McBride.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Michener doesn't appeal to me...
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I'm going James Jones.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Yeah, you've got it. Bang on, James Jones it was.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22This is a really, really good round.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24We go to Sudden Death, Jessica.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- OK...!- Right up your street, yeah.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- So it's a bit harder now, I don't give you alternative answers.- OK.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32In the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist,
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Jack Dawkins is better known by what nickname?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Is it the Artful Dodger?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It is the Artful Dodger, well done.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Over to you, Dave.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Which children's author, born in 1866,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48created the character Mrs Tiggy-Winkle?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Beatrix Potter.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Beatrix Potter is correct.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Jessica...- OK.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58OK! Here's your question. Which controversial 20th-century author
0:15:58 > 0:16:05shot and killed his common-law wife Joan Vollmer in Mexico in 1951?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07One of my teenage favourites -
0:16:07 > 0:16:09probably shouldn't have been reading it at 15 -
0:16:09 > 0:16:10it's William Burroughs.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12It is indeed William Burroughs.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14So, pressure on, Dave.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Hamm and Clov are the two main characters in which play
0:16:19 > 0:16:21by Samuel Beckett?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Hamm and Clov?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Yes, H-A-M-M and then C-L-O-V.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I should know this...
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Hm.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35But I don't. Erm...
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Endgame.- Yes!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41What do you think, Jessica, is he right?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43It's the only Samuel Beckett play I can think of,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45so it's what I would have gone with as well.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48There's Waiting For Godot and...and all that.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Were you tossing up between different ones, Dave, or...?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- No. No, I'll just go for that one. - You got it right, it is Endgame.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Jessica, early versions of parts of which classic novel by Leo Tolstoy
0:17:01 > 0:17:04were first published under the title 1805?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08It... I believe it's War And Peace.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10It is War And Peace, well done.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12OK. Dave,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15in the early 1980s, which play by Howard Brenton,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18was the subject of an unsuccessful private prosecution
0:17:18 > 0:17:21by Mary Whitehouse on grounds of gross indecency?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24The Romans In Britain?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26The Romans In Britain is correct,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28famous story at the time.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I'm suspecting you weren't in this country, Jessica?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Or indeed, probably, born. - I think I was born,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- but I was not in this country. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Here's your question.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Who painted the 1784 portrait
0:17:38 > 0:17:41of Mrs Siddons as the Tragic Muse?
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Well, Mrs Siddons sounds like a British subject,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49so I imagine it may have been a British painter.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51And now I'm just trying to think of somebody
0:17:51 > 0:17:53from the late 18th century.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Maybe a Georgian court painter...
0:17:56 > 0:18:02The only name that keeps popping into my head is erm...Turner.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I'm not sure if Turner was even that century.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11But I realise that I don't know Turner's first name.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'll say... And this is so bad,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I apologise to my team if I really muck this one up
0:18:18 > 0:18:21but I'll say...Henry Turner?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23It wasn't Turner.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Joshua Reynolds is the answer. - Would've had no clue.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28OK, Dave, your chance for the round.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Which author served in the Royal Navy during World War II,
0:18:31 > 0:18:37and published is first novel, entitled HMS Ulysses, in 1955?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I've got to go Alistair MacLean.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Alistair MacLean is right, Dave, you've taken the round.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Jessica, sorry, you played really well there.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- SHE SIGHS - That's OK.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Sudden Death has taken you down, I'm afraid,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Dave will be in the final. Please, both of you,
0:18:49 > 0:18:53rejoin your teams and we'll see what happens next.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56As it stands, Krang's Android Body have lost two brains
0:18:56 > 0:18:59from the final round, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The last subject before the final is Politics.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05So who would like this? Edward or Simon?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- I'm afraid...- Going back to the spreadsheet, I think it's Ed.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- I'll make the sacrifice.- OK.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Against which Egghead? - Who do we have left?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Hm.- We've got CJ and Barry. - Barry and CJ. OK.- Yeah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Think it's got to be CJ.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20It has to be really, doesn't it?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24OK, so Edward, from Krang's Android Body, on Politics against CJ.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26To ensure there's no conferring,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34OK, Politics, Edward, and would you like to go first or second
0:19:34 > 0:19:35against the great CJ?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I think I'll have to go first, please.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Here we go and good luck.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Norma is the first name
0:19:43 > 0:19:46of the wife of which of these British prime ministers?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52OK...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I seem to think it was er...
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Harold Wilson's wife was Mary?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01And I'm pretty sure it was Norma Major.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03So I'll go for John Major, please.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06You're bang on, well done. Norma.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08CJ,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10which of these political parties won the most seats
0:20:10 > 0:20:12at the 2015 UK General Election?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Well, I think Liberal Democrats were... How can I put this politely?
0:20:21 > 0:20:22..decimated.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25And ended up with, I think, eight seats.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27UKIP just have the one.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Scottish National Party, I think, have 57,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32so I think 57's bigger than the other two,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35so I'll go for the Scottish National Party.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- You've got the answer right. I think 56, probably, for SNP.- Is it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Yeah. LISA:- 56 of 59 in Scotland.
0:20:41 > 0:20:4256, cos the way to remember
0:20:42 > 0:20:45is that the other three were the other three parties.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- So the Lib Dems got one, Labour got one, the Conservatives got one.- Fine.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Scottish National Party's quite right. One each.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Back to you, Edward.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Which former TV presenter contested the constituency of Erewash
0:20:57 > 0:21:00in Derbyshire at the 2005 General Election?
0:21:05 > 0:21:11Well, I think it might've been for a short-lived party called Veritas,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14and I think it was Robert Kilroy-Silk.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16It was Robert Kilroy-Silk, well done.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18OK, CJ,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22in which town did Margaret Thatcher spend her childhood?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Now, is this one of those little trick questions?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I mean, she was born in Grantham.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Her father, Alf, I believe was a grocer there.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38So, unless she moved and I know nothing about it
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I'll have to assume she spent her childhood in Grantham.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Grantham is the right answer.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK. Edward,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48in which year did Nancy Astor become the first woman
0:21:48 > 0:21:51to sit as an MP in the House of Commons?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Nancy Astor... Erm, I think she was Lady Astor.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03And I seem to remember some...
0:22:03 > 0:22:06banter between her and Winston Churchill.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Erm... That doesn't exclude the first two dates,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11but it would suggest to me
0:22:11 > 0:22:12the latter one.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Erm... So, it's a bit tenuous
0:22:15 > 0:22:18but I'll go for 1939.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20It's wrong, actually, it's 1919.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22That's a shame.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24CJ, your question, for the round.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Who was the first Roman Catholic president of the USA?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Well, I'm on a little happier ground here, being US presidents. Erm...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42No point messing around here, it's John F Kennedy.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45It was indeed John F Kennedy, you're right, CJ. You've taken it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Edward, you were playing really well. I could see you love your politics.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Yeah. But CJ's a good competitor, isn't he?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53He's on the right territory, and on the right day
0:22:53 > 0:22:56and with the wind in the right direction, yes, he is hard to beat.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59So you have been taken out, I'm afraid, by our Egghead,
0:22:59 > 0:23:00and that means it's a slightly depleted
0:23:00 > 0:23:02challenging team in the final.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Come back to us, both of you, and we will play that final round.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09So this is what we have been playing towards, it is time for the final round,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:14 > 0:23:16won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18So, Clare, Edward and Jessica,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21from Krang's Android Body,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24and also Lisa from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27OK, Matt and Simon, good luck.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30You are playing to win Krang's Android Body...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Best team name ever, I think, on Eggheads.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Thank you.- ..£11,000. You ready?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- As we'll ever be.- Yes.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Eggheads, you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42which is the Eggheads' really precious reputation
0:23:42 > 0:23:45As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn -
0:23:45 > 0:23:47they're all going to be General Knowledge,
0:23:47 > 0:23:48you can confer with each other.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51So, Krang's Android Body, the question is,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55can you, with your two brains, defeat these four?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- And would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first, please.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Here we go, with your first question. Good luck, final round, £11,000.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08How many sides does a hexagon have?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Six.- Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Six, please.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Six is correct.- That's a good start.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- And seven is a... What is a seven? A septagon?- A heptagon.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Heptagon. And five is a...pentagon.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27OK! I'm getting the hang of this.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Eggheads, minus Lisa,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35the Bering Strait separates Siberia from which US state?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- BARRY:- Are we all happy with Alaska? - OTHERS:- Yes.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- We'd like Alaska, I think.- Yes, I think we're all agreed on this one,
0:24:43 > 0:24:44it's Alaska.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Alaska is the right answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49All right. One each.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Your question. Which member of the royal family was knighted
0:24:52 > 0:24:56for services to the Sovereign in June 2015?
0:25:00 > 0:25:04What do you think? Is it Harry, didn't he get something recently?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- I don't know. - What's your gut saying?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I'm really between...
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I think Edward's had a rough ride of it recently,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13so it's probably not him.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I'd say Harry or Philip, but...
0:25:16 > 0:25:19If they're going to give Philip anything, it'll be now.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I guess so.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Have you heard...anything to the contrary?- No.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Yeah. Prince Philip, final answer? - Well, it's...
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Prince Philip.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Eggheads? BARRY:- They're right.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- You think they're right? DAVE:- I think it's Harry.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35- PAT:- I think Edward.- Oh.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37The answer is Prince Harry.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- BOTH:- Oh.- But you can see
0:25:39 > 0:25:41it's a tricky one. It might've caught YOU,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I would've loved to see that discussion.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Yeah. Gosh.- But, Eggheads, you have a chance to take the lead.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Which of these England players retired from international cricket,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51in May 2015?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- DAVE:- It's Trott, isn't it?
0:25:57 > 0:26:02I've not heard Harmison's retired. Flintoff was a lot earlier.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03- CJ:- Jonathan Trott was 2015.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Yeah, Jonathan Trott.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07If it's May 2015 it's Jonathan Trott.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Again, we're all agreed - Jonathan Trott.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Jonathan Trott is correct.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14That's a shame, I wish they'd had the Harry question,
0:26:14 > 0:26:15it might have divided them...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- CJ:- Yeah.- CJ would've had the casting vote...
0:26:18 > 0:26:22OK. You've fallen behind, you must get this one right.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24£11,000 we're playing for.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27What was the original colour of the Incredible Hulk,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31when it first appeared in comic book form in 1962?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36It's either Red or Grey.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39- Maybe Red?- Or it would've been grey
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- cos it would've only been a black and white comic.- Oh, yeah.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Possibly. Erm...
0:26:44 > 0:26:46My first reaction was grey.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48But red seems more snazzy,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Mm.- ..but that's probably why they went for grey.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52You OK with Grey?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Erm... We're wondering if maybe it's a trick question
