0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against, possibly, the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:35are Eureka.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Now, this friends and family team
0:00:37 > 0:00:38feature a person who not only
0:00:38 > 0:00:42designed a cake mould for Michelle Obama,
0:00:42 > 0:00:47but also once shared a cheesecake with Roxy Music legend Bryan Ferry.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm Derek and I'm an indexer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Mike and I'm a company director.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Karen and I'm a mould maker and sculptor.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Karl and I'm an event coordinator.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Barbara and I'm a retired journalist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04So, Derek, team, welcome, great to see you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, friends and family, right?
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Yes, indeed.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11OK, and I've got to ask about the cake moulds for Michelle Obama.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Please tell.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16I was asked to design a mould for the Christmas
0:01:16 > 0:01:18decorations for the White House last Christmas
0:01:18 > 0:01:22and it was a little 3-D bird, well, two 3-D birds.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24How wonderful. So that is your business, is it?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Yes, I sculpt the designs and my husband
0:01:27 > 0:01:31and two of our family members are involved in the business.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33OK, and, Derek, any quizzing here?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Yes, I quiz quite regularly with,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40around the country in various quizzes.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Sure, so you like to compete. - I do, very much so. Yes.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And you're competing today against the Eggheads?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:47 > 0:01:49up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over
0:01:51 > 0:01:53to our next show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Now, Eureka, the Challengers actually won the last game
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and it means £1,000 says you can't
0:01:58 > 0:02:00beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04who would like this?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05We'll stick to families
0:02:05 > 0:02:06as stated before.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Yes, I'm going to go for that.- Karl.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12OK. Karl on Music, against which Egghead, Karl?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- I don't know, um, do you think CJ, shall we go for CJ?- Yeah, good.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Yes, we'll go for CJ.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21So, Karl, from Eureka versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25The title of the round is Music and please go to our Question Room now.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Well, Karl, I reckon you have the best job ever.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- You do murder mystery weekends. - That's right, yes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36So, you gather people together and there's a body on the floor
0:02:36 > 0:02:37and they look for clues.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Yes, I write the script and coordinate the whole event
0:02:40 > 0:02:43and yes, somebody usually ends up either frothing at the mouth or
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- with a big knife sticking out of them.- Fantastic.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And do people who pay to come on the weekends, does one of them
0:02:47 > 0:02:50have to die or is the corpse always somebody else?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Usually, it's one of the actors that actually dies, yeah.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Oh, so you bring in an actor for that?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Yeah, we have a bunch of anything up to seven actors.- Wow!
0:02:57 > 0:03:01One of them or more sometimes actually ends up dead.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Oh, I see, so they need to go round and quiz the actors
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- and they find out the clues?- Yes, that's it. Yes, we stay in
0:03:06 > 0:03:07character the whole time.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10OK, Music, Karl, and would you like to go first or second?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11I'll go first.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18So, here we go. In which year was the singer Kate Bush born?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Right, I'm pretty sure Kate Bush is about the same age as me.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33So I'm fairly confident it's 1958.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It is indeed '58, yeah. 1958 is right.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38CJ, your question.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41The timpani would usually be found in which section of an orchestra?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Well, it's a big drum so I imagine
0:03:47 > 0:03:49it's found in the percussion section.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It is found in percussion, you're right. Karl, back to you.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53What is the birth name
0:03:53 > 0:03:55of the U2 guitarist, The Edge?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Gosh, that's a difficult one.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09None of those names look very familiar to me, unfortunately.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12So I'm going to have to go for Laurence Mullen, just
0:04:12 > 0:04:14because something's telling me that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Let me just see if the Eggs know. Eggs?- It's David Evans.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20David Evans is the answer. It's a classic quizzy question, that.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And they're all U2 members, Laurence Mullen tends to go
0:04:23 > 0:04:27by Larry, and he is a member of U2. Paul Hewson is Bono's birth name.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Oh, right, so Laurence is the drummer, is he?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Paul Hewson's Bono. - Paul Hewson's Bono.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33OK, CJ,
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Plus, released in 2011 and featuring the singles, The A-team
0:04:38 > 0:04:42and Lego House, is the debut studio album of which musician?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- How are you spelling Plus? - Plus is simply the...
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- The mathematical sign. - ..the mathematical sign, symbol.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59I just wanted to check because I was already fairly sure who it was
0:04:59 > 0:05:02cos Ed Sheeran's bestselling album, released later than that,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06was Multiply, which is just a mathematical symbol and I didn't
0:05:06 > 0:05:08think it was Nutini or Adele, so I'll have to go for Ed Sheeran.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It is indeed Ed Sheeran.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I think this is the orange one and the green one was Multiply.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17You're quite right. Brilliant artist. OK, back to you, Karl.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Fiyero and Madame Morrible are characters in which stage musical?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24And you need to get this right to stay in.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Gosh.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I think I know Sweeney Todd, which is the only one of those
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I've seen. Um...
0:05:35 > 0:05:39and I don't recall that, but, oh, dear, oh, dear,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41you've got me on this one.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42I'll go for Wicked.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Is he right, CJ?- He is, indeed.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Is this a story within a story that goes on in Wicked?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Is that right?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52There are so many different layers in Wicked but, yeah, I mean,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55these are two of the main protagonists in the story.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Wicked is right. Well done, Karl.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59So you're still in it but CJ can take the round now.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Who Are You? and Eminence Front are songs by which of these bands?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Well, it's not Queen.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Now, I think I know there's a song called Who Are You? by The Who.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19The second one means nothing to me.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24Is it the one that goes... # Who are you? Ooh, ooh. #
0:06:25 > 0:06:30If it's that one, and that doesn't sound like Led Zeppelin to me,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I can sort of hear Roger Daltrey singing it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'm not sure about this, but I'll have to go for The Who.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Yeah, you got everything right there.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42The Who is the band and you even got the song exactly right
0:06:42 > 0:06:43and you sang it with great gusto.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45So, you've taken the round, CJ, well done.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Sorry, Karl, you've been knocked out,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50cos he got all three right, he will be in the final and you won't.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56So Eureka have lost a brain from the Final Round.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Maybe you are back on track, Eggs.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01The next subject is Film & TV.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Who would like this?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- I'm not very good on TV. - Bit patchy on it, so...- Yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- What about you, Derek? I'm rubbish at it.- What are we going to do?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Nobody wants to do it. Or shall I? - Oh, I'll have a crack if you wish.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Take one for the team. Looks like it's me.- Yes.
0:07:18 > 0:07:24- OK, Barbara. Against which Egghead? It can't be CJ.- Judith, I would say.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Judith, please.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28So, Barbara from Eureka versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Please go to the Question Room.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I gather, Barbara, you've swum with sharks, but accidentally.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Um, yes, I was on a tall ship called the Soren Larsen in Vanuatu
0:07:41 > 0:07:44in the Pacific and we moored off a reef
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and had the option of snorkelling in over the reef
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and it was so, the colours were so vibrant,
0:07:50 > 0:07:54the fish and the coral and then I saw this shark.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It was like being in a Jacques Cousteau documentary
0:07:56 > 0:07:58and so it was a pause of several
0:07:58 > 0:08:01seconds before I realised that it was me and it sharing the same
0:08:01 > 0:08:04water, at which point it had swum away, I'm glad to say.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06There was a lovely documentary recently on sharks
0:08:06 > 0:08:09and they did make the point that they are usually friendly.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Yeah, I think they're often more scared of you than you are of them.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15So, Film and TV, Barbara, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:15 > 0:08:16I'll go first, please.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Good luck.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Which radio DJ was unveiled as a
0:08:23 > 0:08:26new judge on The X Factor in June, 2015.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Slight problem here. Never watch The X Factor.
0:08:34 > 0:08:40Um, and I don't really listen to probably Radio 1, which
0:08:40 > 0:08:45I would imagine... Chris Moyles, I can picture.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Nick Grimshaw, I can picture.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I'm terribly sorry, Scott Mills, I don't know who you are.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Um, I think I'll go down the middle. Nick Grimshaw.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53It is. Grimmy.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Nick Grimshaw. Well done, Nick, if you're watching.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58OK.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Judith, what is the subtitle of
0:09:00 > 0:09:05the fifth film in Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible franchise?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07The subtitle. I know you will have seen it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I've absolutely no idea. I don't watch franchises.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20It could be any of those. A fifth.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I have absolutely no idea. Age Of Extinction.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25No, it's Rogue Nation.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27All right, Barbara, your question.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Paul Rudd plays Scott Lang in which 2015 film?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I haven't seen any of those.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Um...
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's just an inkling, I don't know why, I've heard the actor's
0:09:43 > 0:09:47name recently and I remember seeing some publicity about Ant-Man
0:09:47 > 0:09:50coming out so I'll just have to go with that, Ant-Man.
0:09:50 > 0:09:56Nicely done, it is Ant-Man, well done, so you have two points here.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- And, Judith, if you get this wrong, you will be jettisoned.- Yes, I know.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Who won the 2014 series of Strictly Come Dancing?
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Gosh, do you know? I have absolutely no idea. Um...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I really should know this.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Pixie Lott was very pretty.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I remember her, she danced rather well too.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I mean, I would have voted for her.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29But it probably wasn't, oh, dear.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I'm going to say Pixie Lott because I thought she should win it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Caroline Flack is the answer. And so, you're knocked out,
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Judith, I'm sorry.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Well done, Barbara, you made short
0:10:38 > 0:10:39work of that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Judith, I'm afraid you were swimming with a shark.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Yes, and it got me.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46And it got you and you won't be in the final.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Please come back to us and we will see what happens next.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53So, Eureka have lost one, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54It's poised.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56The next subject is Science.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Who would like Science? Who's got the test tubes?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- I think it's you. - Well, as you're the...
0:11:00 > 0:11:03As you're the one with the chemistry degree, dear. I think...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- It's Mike.- I'll take it.- OK, Mike, with a chemistry degree. OK.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10And who would you like to fry in your... With your Bunsen burner?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Yeah, I'll take Lisa, please.- Ah.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Now, where did I put that chemistry degree?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16THEY LAUGH All right.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19But you're good on chemistry. I've seen that before.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Chemistry is kind of the least worst but it ain't saying a lot.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Mike from Eureka versus Lisa from the Eggheads on chemistry
0:11:26 > 0:11:29and other things, as we call science.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36So, you are running the cake mould business as well, Mike.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37- Is that right?- Indeed, yes.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41My wife and I started it from scratch about five or six years ago.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Something we had always wanted to try and yes,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- we've done pretty well so far. - That's great.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47So, describe what you're doing, then.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50You make these moulds and people use them to bake cakes. Is that it?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Not to make cakes, make the decorations that go on cakes.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56So, if you have, I don't know, you want a flower-themed cake,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59then we have a dog rose and a calla lily and a daffodil
0:11:59 > 0:12:01and all sorts of things like that.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03So, the moulds are used to make sugar paste impressions
0:12:03 > 0:12:06which are then coloured up or not and applied to the cake.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11It's...a very ephemeral art but nevertheless quite satisfying.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Great stuff.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Well, and I can see the connection between that and science
0:12:15 > 0:12:16and I know that's your background as well.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19So good luck with Lisa and would you like to go first or second, Mike?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I'll go first, please.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Your first question, then. Which of these great apes are native to Asia?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37The orangutan, or old man of the forest, is native to Asia.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Orangutan is quite right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Made light work of that.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Lisa, during which century did Charles Darwin live?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Right, so Origin Of Species I think was 18...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I'm now torn between 1870 and 1880.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Happily, we're not requiring that level of detail!
0:12:59 > 0:13:00The 19th.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03The 19th is quite right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Back to you, Mike.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine specialising
0:13:08 > 0:13:13in the anatomy, functions and diseases of which part of the body?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Well...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20my first thought was eyes and I'm glad that it came up
0:13:20 > 0:13:23because if it didn't, I'd have been in trouble. So, it's the eyes.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Yeah, it's the eyes. And you have...
0:13:27 > 0:13:30What do we have? We have opticians but we have ophthalmologists,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32though I'm never sure what the difference is.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Opticians test your eyes and sell you glasses, don't they?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- And ophthalmologists do a bit more. - The diseases of the eye, maybe.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Yeah, exactly.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Lisa, your question.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Found in the UK, what type of bird is the common blackbird?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Common blackbird would be quite something
0:13:52 > 0:13:53if it was a sparrowhawk, I think.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Um...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I think the blackbirds are related to the thrushes.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I think. I'll say thrush.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Thrush is right.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07So, 2-2. Good play. Science. And Mike, back to you.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12The name of which gland in the human body is derived from a Greek term
0:14:12 > 0:14:14meaning shield-shaped?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Well, I was hoping when you said shield-shaped,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25something along the lines of scutus or scutum would come along.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29But I'm...not quite so confident now.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I think I'm going to have to go for thyroid.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Yeah, you've got it right, well done. Thyroid it is.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Yes, anyone help us with the Greek term,
0:14:41 > 0:14:42the Greek word? Kevin?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46The reason to go for that one there is that oid means,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48in that sense, shaped.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52But what the actual Greek word is for the shield in question,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- not too sure.- OK. Lisa, to stay in.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59In which year were the first atoms of antimatter
0:14:59 > 0:15:02artificially brought into existence?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Atoms of antimatter.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I sort of feel like it should be quite a recent thing, really.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Yeah, I haven't got a great deal to go on.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25Other than the feeling that it would be more recent rather than less.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30But you know, quite possibly not a good thing to go on.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I shall say 1995 and hold my hands up.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35The answer is 1995, so well done, Lisa.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Three out of three you've got and we go to Sudden Death, Mike.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Science, we're on. Gets a bit harder now.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I don't give you alternative answers.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Which disease was once known as the Saffron Scourge?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Well, saffron is yellow, so is it yellow fever?- Yellow fever is right.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Lisa, Thomas Edison's Menlo Park Laboratory
0:15:55 > 0:15:57was based in which US state?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Right. I'll just have a little think.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06No, do you know, I've not even got anywhere to start with this.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Menlo Park, where do the scientists hang out?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I don't know. New York State.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Ooh, not far!- How close was I?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- It's New Jersey, next door.- That's pretty good! Actually pretty good
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- for a wrong answer.- That is pretty good. Even if I gave you a half
0:16:22 > 0:16:24a point, you'd still be knocked out.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I am almost as proud as if I'd got it right. I'm happy with that.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Did you know that, Mike?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I would have thought it was in that area but which state,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- again, 50/1 shot.- But anyway, you've won the round, well done.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Sudden Death, you knocked Lisa out. Good stuff.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40So, come back to us and we will play the last round before the final.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45OK, Eureka, you're doing well here. You've lost just the one brain.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47The Eggheads have now lost two brains.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49You're going to lose two on the spin here!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Two after the game we had just with the jackpot and all that.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Is this... Is it all unravelling?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Let's see. Next subject is History.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Who would like this?- I think that's...- I could take History.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04If you want a person who is eligible to do it
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- with a degree in ancient history and archaeology?- Don't make me...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Don't say that too loud, Barbara! Don't say that...- Karen?- Yes.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- OK, against which Egghead? - I'd go for Chris.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Chris?- Come on!
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Chris is your brain. - Yeah, I'll take Chris, please.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Brilliant. So it's going to be Karen from Eureka,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24who, remember, made the cake mould for the White House,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26versus Chris from the Eggheads,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29who's done many other exciting things himself.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36So, Karen, just quickly back onto the cake moulds,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40you have had some sort of cheesecake moment with Bryan Ferry.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44I did, very long time ago, my best friend at the time was
0:17:44 > 0:17:47the girlfriend of the guy who ran the fan club.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50And we were invited down to AIR London Studios
0:17:50 > 0:17:51to hear them recording.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54So we shared a strawberry cheesecake with the boys, which was very nice.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Obviously making cake moulds is the way to meet
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- all the interesting people in the world.- Absolutely, yes.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Yeah, I'm working this out. Well, good luck on History.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I know you're very good on it. Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13So, here we go. In which year did the Korean War end?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Well, it certainly wasn't in the '30s
0:18:20 > 0:18:24and it certainly wasn't during World War II, so it's '53.
0:18:24 > 0:18:261953 is correct.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Chris, the 1854 Charge Of The Light Brigade
0:18:31 > 0:18:36was an ill-fated British cavalry attack on the army of which country?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Well, it was during the Crimean War and it was in Russia.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Against Russia.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Russia is correct.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47OK, back to you, Karen.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Who in 1972 was the last man to stand on the surface of the Moon?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Oh, dear. We were talking about this just the other day.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04And my brain has gone to mush.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Um...
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I'll go Jack Swigert.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I'm sensing Derek might know. Derek?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- I think it's Eugene Cernan. - It is Eugene Cernan. Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Chris, your question to take the lead.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23In which year was the United States Constitution originally written?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Well, the original Constitution was post-independence
0:19:32 > 0:19:35but not that much post-independence, so it's 1787.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38It is indeed 1787. Well done, Chris.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42So, he has taken the lead. You need to get this one right, Karen.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46The Guerra Sucia or Dirty War is the name given to
0:19:46 > 0:19:51a period of state-sponsored violence from 1976 to 1983
0:19:51 > 0:19:53in which South American country?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Can't say I've ever heard of it. Um...
0:20:00 > 0:20:04No, I can't recall anything about that.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06So, I'm just going to have to plump for one.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I'll go for Venezuela.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- Chris?- Um, I think that was the Pinochet business in Chile.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18No, it wasn't, it was Argentina, actually!
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Where the disappeared and all that, isn't it?- Oh, the Desaparecidos.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24In the run-up to the Falklands War as well.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26So, Argentina is the right answer, Karen.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Sorry, you've been knocked out by Chris. No way back.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30So, Chris will be in the final, Karen is out
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and if you come back to us, we will play the Final Round.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38it is time for the Final Round, which as always,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40is General Knowledge.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:20:43 > 0:20:46to take part in this round, so we're going to be evenly matched here.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Karen and Karl from Eureka and also Judith and Lisa,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52would you all please leave the studio?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Derek, Mike and Barbara, you are playing to win Eureka £1,000.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Chris, Kevin and CJ, you are playing for something
0:20:59 > 0:21:04which money can't buy, the restored Eggheads reputation.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10This time, the questions are all general knowledge. You can confer.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11So, Eureka.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14The question is, are your three brains able to defeat these three?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Over here, a bit battered and bruised, the Eggheads are.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19This is a good moment to take advantage.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Would you like to go first or second?
0:21:21 > 0:21:22We'd like to go first, please.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31Derek and team, good luck. What star sign is someone born on Boxing Day?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Right, well, I'm born on the
0:21:37 > 0:21:39New Year and I'm Capricorn.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40And the one before that
0:21:40 > 0:21:41is Sagittarius
0:21:41 > 0:21:43because my dad was born in December.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So, it's got to be Capricorn, then?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Unless I've got it horribly wrong.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Which is quite possible, yeah.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- I have not the faintest clue.- It's just to do with family birthdays.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- I think it's right. - I think it's Capricorn.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- I think the others are later. - Capricorn.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Capricorn is correct.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Good logic there, Barbara.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01OK, Eggheads.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Grey Mountain is a bestselling 2014 legal thriller by which author?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- John Grisham?- Legal.- Yeah, it's got
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- to be Grisham.- I'm pretty sure.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16It's not Dean Koontz.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17I think it's not Clancy.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Um, we think that's the sort of,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21well, king of the legal thrillers,
0:22:21 > 0:22:22John Grisham.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Yeah, legal is the key word.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25John Grisham is right, well done.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27One point each. Back to you, Challengers.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31The Jamaican Asafa Powell has held the men's world record
0:22:31 > 0:22:33in which athletics event?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Well, he's a 100m runner. - Sorry?- He does run 100 metres.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44But the world record?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Well, yeah, but he's not a hurdler.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I don't think he's a hurdler either. But is he 100m or 200m?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Well, he could be either.- Do you think that's more Usain Bolt?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- He could easily do 200 as well, couldn't he?- Yeah.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56So it's a toss-up, isn't it?
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Do we think...?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58He has held the world record,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00not necessarily
0:23:00 > 0:23:01he's holding it now then.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04So I thought that would be Usain Bolt at the moment, wouldn't it?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Do you think he's held it some time in his career?- Well, quite possible.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- I just don't know.- Shall we go for 100?- Yeah.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11100 metres.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13You've got it right.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15100 metres, well done.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Eggheads,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Harrison Ford is how many years older
0:23:19 > 0:23:22than his wife, Calista Flockhart?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27- Over to you, Kevin.- Oh, I don't
0:23:27 > 0:23:29know. I have no idea when...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31No idea when Calista Flockhart was born.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Harrison Ford was born in 1942.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37That would make Calista Flockhart born in what?
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Well, it's not 12 years, is it?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40It's not 12 years, no.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41No, because that would make it
0:23:41 > 0:23:431954 and she's not that...
0:23:43 > 0:23:44She's not that old.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- If it was 17.- Surely that's too...?
0:23:47 > 0:23:48- That's too old as well?- Yeah.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49So, it's got to be 22.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- I'm actually surprised it's as little as 22.- Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Actually, how long ago
0:23:53 > 0:23:54was Ally McBeal?
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Getting on for ten years.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58- It'll be more than that. - More than that.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00But nevertheless, I mean, if it
0:24:00 > 0:24:01was 17, that would mean she was
0:24:01 > 0:24:03born in 1959 which would make her
0:24:03 > 0:24:05in her mid-50s now, which she's not.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06She isn't, no.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- So it's got to be 22.- 22, yeah.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11We think that must be 22, Jeremy.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Impressed with your dates there.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14You're absolutely right. She was
0:24:14 > 0:24:17born in '64, 22 years is correct.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19So, third question.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Which member of the Cabinet traditionally makes a speech
0:24:22 > 0:24:25at the Lord Mayor's dinner for bankers and merchants
0:24:25 > 0:24:28at the City of London held annually at the Mansion House?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34It's the Chancellor.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Absolutely.- 100%, yeah.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Chancellor.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Chancellor of the Exchequer
0:24:38 > 0:24:39is quite right.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41So, three out of three.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Over to you, Eggheads.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Which city's bus station, often said to have been the largest in Europe
0:24:46 > 0:24:50when it was opened, was given listed status in 2013?
0:24:53 > 0:24:58- Preston.- Is it?- I've got an idea it's Preston.- Yeah, I thought so.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Go with Preston, I think.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Because I've filmed in Preston and it's got a large bus station.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I seem to remember something about it being given listed status.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Yeah, I thought it rang a bell with me.- Yeah.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Um, maybe not 100%.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12We think it's Preston.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Preston is right.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17OK. We go to Sudden Death.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Final Round, playing for £1,000.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Eureka, your question. I don't give you alternative answers here.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Which website, launched in 2000,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29was conceived by Steve and Julie Pankhurst,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31who were curious about their old school friends?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Friends Reunited, isn't it? - Yeah, I think it's that. Yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Yeah, old school friends, definitely.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Anyone got an alternative possibility?- 2000.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- 2000, quite a long...- 15 years ago. - It's been going for a long time.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Shall we go for it? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Friends Reunited.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Friends Reunited is quite right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55OK, over to you, Eggheads, to stay in.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Your first Sudden Death question. Get this wrong, it's over.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04In 2010, Darren Sammy was appointed captain of which test cricket team?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09West Indies. I'm pretty sure it's West Indies. Yeah, OK?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11I think that's the West Indies.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12West Indies is correct.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Sudden Death, your question.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Who played the role of Richard Nixon in the 2008 film Frost/Nixon?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23SHE SIGHS
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- It was one with Michael Sheen in. - I...
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- But he wasn't Nixon. - He wasn't, no.- No.- Oh, blimey.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33He was...
0:26:33 > 0:26:36He was Frost. Nixon.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38I have a feeling it's somewhere way at the back of my head
0:26:38 > 0:26:40but I can't drag it forward.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43British, American? Australian?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Um, no, American, I think.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I haven't really got anything, I'm afraid.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- We need to come up with a name, don't we?- Yes.
