0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- Good to see you, Eggheads. - Nice to see you.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Good? Looking forward to this one? - Yeah.- Yes.- You always do.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Taking on our quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:41are C3. Now, this team of friends are all members
0:00:41 > 0:00:43of the Cardiff Chess Club.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46They meet up every Tuesday and Wednesday. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, my name's David, and I'm a financial consultant.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Charles, and I'm a sales consultant.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Ed, and I'm a retail assistant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Dan, and I'm a play worker.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Derek, and I'm a support worker.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- So, David, team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thanks very much.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05The Cardiff Chess Club. Tell us about the games you play.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Well, we all play in different teams within the Cardiff Chess Club,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- and we all play league chess to varying levels...- OK.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13..varying degrees of skill.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16CJ will be tuning in very avidly to this
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- cos you know he's a big chess man. - We do know that, yeah.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21He once came round and showed me a load of moves. Didn't you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We were up till midnight drinking coffee and me failing,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- but trying, to teach you how to play chess properly.- Yeah.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29That's a sort of big night in my vocabulary.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32But anyway, you learnt chess as kids, I'm reckoning,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35because people always seem to if they're good.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Well, I'm a bit unusual in that regard.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I started playing when I was about 21.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I learnt the rules, but I started playing league chess when I was 21,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44whereas the rest of these guys have been playing
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- since they were nippers. - How long does a game normally take?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Depends. Some games can take three hours,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51but if it's a foreign nations chess league game,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54you could be talking seven hours for the full thing.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56A real marathon. See if you can make lighter work
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- of this bunch over here today. - We'll try.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:00 > 0:02:02up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09So, C3, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13which means £2,000 is here for you to win today. Shall we crack on?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- ALL:- Yeah.- All right.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Which one of you would like this?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I think... It's History, Derek. Is that...?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Do you want to do it? - Yeah, I'm pretty good at history.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Yeah?- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Who do we want, though, from...?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Ah, let me think. They're all pretty good, aren't they?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34A rock and a hard place, isn't it? They're all good.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Who's the chink in the armour? Don't know.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40I'll go for Barry, I think,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42because he's got the same shirt I would have worn
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- had I... - THEY LAUGH
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I think that's a good rationale. Fair play.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49When you said Barry, you said it in a very Welsh way.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Did I?- Yes. In a lovely, lovely way.- Barry.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Rolled the Rs there.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- WELSH ACCENT: So, Barry.- Barry.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Derek from C3 versus Barry...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You're not Welsh at all, Barry, are you?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'm afraid I've no Welsh blood in me at all.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03..Barry from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Derek, good luck here on History against Barry.- Thank you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12"No man is an island except for Barry,"
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I heard one of your team-mates say.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'll go first, please.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23OK, that is
0:03:23 > 0:03:25probably the easiest question of the day.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Good.- They may get harder.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32What type of World War I military vehicle was the Big Willie?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Oh, that's a difficult one.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42Um, I don't think it was an aircraft because aircraft was in its infancy.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I don't really think it was a submarine,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49so I'm going to go for tank.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Tank is quite right. Well done. Good stuff, Derek. Off the blocks.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Barry, in which year
0:03:54 > 0:03:57did George Washington become the first president of the USA?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04No messing. 1789.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08No messing. 1789 it is. You're equal. Back to you, Derek.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Tombstone, the site of the 1881 gunfight at the OK Corral
0:04:13 > 0:04:15is located in which US state?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm not entirely sure.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I don't think it's Texas.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27My first thought was Arizona.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Could be Nevada, but I'm going to plump for Arizona.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Yeah, it's a toss up, isn't it, between Arizona and Nevada?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35But you've gone the right way, Derek. Well done.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Arizona is the right answer. You've got two points.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Barry, Henry I, King of England from 1100 to 1135,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46was a member of which royal house?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Henry I was a Norman, so it's Normandy.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Normandy is correct.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Not a crease so far.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Derek, the war of 1904 to 1905,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03primarily due to aggressive imperialistic ambitions
0:05:03 > 0:05:05over Manchuria and Korea,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08was fought between Russia and which other country?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Now, I do know this one,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16so no doubt at all - it's Japan.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18No doubt at all, it is Japan.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Well done. Three out of three.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21And you made light work of that, Derek.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Barry, to stay in,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25a type of cross-shaped anti-tank obstacle
0:05:25 > 0:05:30made from iron or steel and used during the Second World War
0:05:30 > 0:05:31was known by what name?
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Ooh, goodness me.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm not sure on this one,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42but something in the back of my brain
0:05:42 > 0:05:45is saying that they were hedgehogs, so I'll go for Czech hedgehog.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Czech hedgehog is absolutely right. How about that? Three-three.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Rapid, rapid fire here,
0:05:51 > 0:05:52and we go to Sudden Death.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Derek, gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- OK.- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Which US president died at Warm Springs, Georgia,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04a place he visited frequently for medical treatment?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Franklin D Roosevelt.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Franklin D Roosevelt is correct. Barry,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11if you get this question wrong, then you've lost
0:06:11 > 0:06:12the head-to-head.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17The major dam across the Nile that officially opened in 1971
0:06:17 > 0:06:21is located roughly eight miles south of which city in Egypt?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Well, I have been to this city, so I know the answer is Aswan.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Aswan is the right answer. Well done.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28And over to you, Derek.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Which former prime minister retired from the House of Commons in 1964
0:06:33 > 0:06:34at the age of 89?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36That would be Sir Winston Churchill.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Winston Churchill is right.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Barry, the Balkan Entente,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44formed in 1934,
0:06:44 > 0:06:49was a mutual defence alliance formed by Yugoslavia, Romania,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Greece and which other country?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Oh.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Yugoslavia, Romania and Greece.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Now, let's see. The countries in the Balkans then...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It could, of course, have been Russia,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04but I think not in this instance.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07There is Bulgaria and Albania.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I don't think it would be Albania.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I'll go for Bulgaria.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13The answer is Turkey, so you're out, Barry.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Sudden Death. Derek, you got him.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Oh.- Well done. First blood to our Challengers.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22C3, that's a good start. Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27So, as it stands, C3 have not lost any brains
0:07:27 > 0:07:29and the Eggheads have lost a brain. What a start.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32What's going to happen next? Let's see.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Who would like this?- Oh.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Was that your second...?- Yeah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- It was your second one, wasn't it? - Do you mind doing it, Ed?
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- Not particularly, no.- OK. - OK. Ed, are you going to do it?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46- Yeah, I'll do it.- OK.- OK, Ed.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Retail assistant from Cardiff against...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Against who, Ed? What do you think? Who looks a bit creaky?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Who looks like they haven't been near a library?- Could be Chris.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58They all look quite cultured, so I don't know if...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- CJ? Why not CJ? - We'll have a bit of CJ, please.- OK.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Which bit?- The whole thing. - THEY LAUGH
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Which bit are you offering? - LAUGHTER
0:08:09 > 0:08:11His brain is being donated to science,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13but it's been refused at this stage.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Anyway, Ed from C3...
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- C3 versus CJ - how about that? - Very nice.- ..from the Eggheads.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Please take your positions.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25So, Ed, I gather you've got a black belt in a martial art.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- In tae kwon do, yeah.- Is that the one with a lot of swirling?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Yeah, yeah, quite a bit.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33And do you compete in that or how does it work?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Um, well, you can do.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I wasn't very good at competing myself,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- so I just did the sparring with other people.- Right.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44So, if CJ starts to pull past you, just attack him.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I will try my best if it comes to that, yeah.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Good luck with this round, Ed. It is Arts & Books.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Here we go.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02The character Jean Louise Finch, also known as Scout Finch,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06features in a novel published in 2015 by which author?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, yeah, it was To Kill A Mockingbird
0:09:12 > 0:09:14and Go Set A Watchman.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15It's Harper Lee.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Excellent. Well done. Harper Lee is right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19CJ, what genre of play
0:09:19 > 0:09:22is Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Well, we know I'm not big on my Shakespeare,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31but I don't think it's a tragedy, I don't think it's a history.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I think it's a comedy.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Comedy is correct.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Back to you, Ed.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39John Keats's poem Ode To A Nightingale
0:09:39 > 0:09:41was first published in which century?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'm trying to think when Keats would have been.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47I'm not really sure.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Um, there's something in the back of my mind
0:09:50 > 0:09:53that's telling me it was the 1700s, so I'll go the 18th century.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- You're a century out, I'm afraid. It was the 19th century.- Oh.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59OK, over to you, CJ.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01What is the title of the second book
0:10:01 > 0:10:04in Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I don't know which order they came in.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is first.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20There is something very, very faintly nagging me
0:10:20 > 0:10:23that The Girl Who Played With Fire is the last one.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28I hope this is not just a vague phantom of a thought,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30but I thought Fire was the last one,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33so I will try The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35You've said The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
0:10:35 > 0:10:37is the first. You're right about that.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39You then think The Girl Who Played With Fire
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- is the third?- Yes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43So, it's Hornets' Nest?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44- But it's not.- Oh.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46The second one is The Girl Who Played With Fire.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49It's almost the all-time classic multiple-choice question
0:10:49 > 0:10:51for Eggheads. HE LAUGHS
0:10:51 > 0:10:53So, one each. Third question
0:10:53 > 0:10:56to you, Ed. Which artist was the first president
0:10:56 > 0:11:00of the breakaway art movement known as the Vienna Secession?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08To be honest, I've never really heard of any of those before,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10um, or the Vienna Secession.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I mean, Klimt is a name I vaguely recognise,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15so I'll go with Gustav Klimt.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16The answer is indeed Gustav Klimt.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19HE LAUGHS Well done.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21So, Ed is in the lead. One chess player
0:11:21 > 0:11:24beating another here, CJ. What is this equivalent in chess?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Is it your queen is being forked by a knight?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- You have no idea what that means. - LAUGHTER
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I play chess a bit. I know what I'm saying.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38According to the title of Ben Jonson's 1616 comedy
0:11:38 > 0:11:40The Devil Is what?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45It's The Devil...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'm just making sure I'm not mixing it up with another work.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I think it's The Devil In His Humour,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55unless I'm mixing that up with something else.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57No, I think it's The Devil In His Humour.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59You think The Devil Is In His Humour?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Any Eggheads want to help us on this? What are we doing here?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Um, I'm not so sure now
0:12:03 > 0:12:07because he did another one called Every Man In His Humour.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Well, the answer, actually, is that it is
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- The Devil Is An Ass.- Yeah.- Oh!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- And In His Humour is... - Is Every Man In His Humour.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Kevin thinks he did something called Every Man In His Humour,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22but the devil in his humour may be a phrase from somewhere else.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Sorry, CJ, you've been knocked out. Well done, Ed.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Did a bit of tae kwon do on him
0:12:26 > 0:12:29and he's gone. LAUGHTER
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Your team are very definitely in the lead,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34and if you come back, we will see what happens in the next round.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Well, this is exciting now.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40C3 have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43And look at the Eggheads. They're down to three maximum in the final.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45The next subject is Music.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Who's the musician? ALL:- Charles.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Charles?- Yeah, Charles is Music. - Said with some confidence.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Well, a little bit, yes.- OK.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Who do you want, Charles? - So...- I'd pick...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Of the remaining contestants, I'd take Chris, please.- OK.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00So, it's going to be Chris on Music.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- And again, nice one for you. - Yeah, OK. Yeah.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Yeah, I think... - Not thrilled, but...
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Not thrilled, not ecstatic, not over the moon.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- That's your gently excited face? - Not sick as a parrot either.- No.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- That's your "I can take it" face. - Yeah.- OK.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17So, Charles from C3 versus Chris from the Eggheads on Music.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Please go to the special room.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- And music is your love, I gather, Charles.- It is, yes.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Any particular type? Any particular reason?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I especially like jazz - I've always liked jazz -
0:13:30 > 0:13:33and just well-played music, generally, I suppose.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- You set up your own record label, I gather.- I did, yeah.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38And was that for rock musicians or jazz or...?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It was to facilitate, shall we say, releasing my own stuff,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- but I actually ended up producing some other stuff as well.- Good.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- So, you're really immersed in it. - I was, yes.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I mean, there's been some time away from that now,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50but, yeah, back in the day, yes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54OK, well, the subject, as you know, ranges very widely, so good luck.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Chris is always furious if The Sugababes come up,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58so we await that moment.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I'll have to follow the way the team's gone so far and go first.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And it is going very, very well indeed,
0:14:08 > 0:14:09I must say. Here's your question, Charles.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Until it was moved to a Friday in 2015,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16BBC Radio One's UK Top 40 Singles countdown
0:14:16 > 0:14:19traditionally took place on which day of the week?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Um, if memory serves correctly, I think that's Sunday.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Sunday's right, and I can remember taping...
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Are we allowed to say? Taping the songs.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- You did this, Charles, as well, did you?- I'm afraid I did, yes.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Chris, your question. In which year
0:14:34 > 0:14:39was Bryan Adams's hit single (Everything I Do) I Do It For You
0:14:39 > 0:14:40released in the UK?
0:14:45 > 0:14:50It was number one for weeks and weeks and weeks on end
0:14:50 > 0:14:53in 1991.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Yeah, well done. 1991 is correct. One point each.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Back to you, Charles.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01The Phantom is a main character in which of these musicals?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I'd say Love Never Dies.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Well done. Love Never Dies it is.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Chris, back to you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18The balalaika, a Russian musical instrument
0:15:18 > 0:15:23which usually has a triangular body, typically has how many strings?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Um... - HE HUMS
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Well, you can get some quite good melodies out of a balalaika,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34so it's got to have at least three, so I'll say three.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Yeah, nicely done. Three. Three is the answer.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Now, at this point, it keeps getting unstuck
0:15:39 > 0:15:41for the Eggheads, so let's see what happens now.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Charles, get this right and maybe just take another one off the edge.
0:15:45 > 0:15:51The Heat Is On and Smuggler's Blues are 1980s solo UK singles
0:15:51 > 0:15:53by which member of The Eagles?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I think that's Don Henley.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- No, it's Glenn Frey.- Oh. - Glenn Frey was the answer here.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06So, Chris, your chance to somehow
0:16:06 > 0:16:10just stem the tide for the Eggheads. Can you do it?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Are you alert? - I've always been a lert.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Britain needs lerts. - THEY CHUCKLE
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Which American entertainer,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19prominent in several show business fields
0:16:19 > 0:16:25from the 1920s through to the 1950s, had the nickname Banjo Eyes?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Well, Jimmy Durante was Schnoz,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Al Bowlly was British,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37and Eddie Cantor had those great, goggly eyes,
0:16:37 > 0:16:39so it was Eddie Cantor.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40As soon as I saw this question, I thought,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42"That's got Chris all over it."
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Yes, Eddie Cantor is correct. You didn't even have to pause,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47so now you've won one back for the Eggheads.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Charles, you've been knocked out.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Please come back to us and we'll play on.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Now, they do do this, these Eggheads.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- They lull you and then, bang. Sorry, Charles.- Not to worry.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- Chris will be in a good mood for the rest of the day.- Perchance.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Maybe the next hour or so, anyway.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04C3 have lost a brain
0:17:04 > 0:17:07and the Eggheads have lost two from the final round.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10One more round before the final. It's Sport.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11I know nothing about Sport.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Is that bad?- Yeah.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- That's Dan.- Rugby is my only thing. - That's Dan.- Yeah? OK.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- We're both really, really terrible at Sport.- Yes.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- But Dan is...- The sacrificial lamb. - ..the sacrificial lamb.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26All right, so, which...?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Can you see any lambs on this side, Dan?- Oh, that's true.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Who do you want? Judith?- Judith. Yeah, Judith.- Judith, please.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- All right, now, we've got a... - Well, I'm a sacrificial lamb too.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37THEY LAUGH We have said, this mug,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39which has been here...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42This Egghead mug is empty, but it will be filled with champagne
0:17:42 > 0:17:43if you win on Sport.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Well, I do occasionally win on Sport.- Hang on.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It's quite dry in there. THEY LAUGH
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Anyway, Dan from C3 versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00So, Dan, you weren't that keen to do Sport?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03No, I wasn't that keen to do Sport at all.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04I'm not very good at Sport.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I was the Science member of the team,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08but Science didn't come up,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10so I'm now the sacrificial lamb on Sports.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14But you did a five-mile walk for charity while juggling knives?
0:18:14 > 0:18:15That sounds like a sport.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Well, if you have any jugglers questions,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I might be able to answer about famous jugglers,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22but I don't think that's going to come up.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Let's go for it, then, Dan.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Last round before the final and this can go one of two ways.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31They can either even it up here, which will be bad,
0:18:31 > 0:18:32or you can have a victory
0:18:32 > 0:18:34and then it looks very good for you in the final,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36which will be good. Do you want to go first or second?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I'll go first, please.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Here we go, Dan. Your first Sport question.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Who defeated Roger Federer
0:18:45 > 0:18:50in the final of the men's singles competition at Wimbledon in 2015?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'm going to go for Novak Djokovic.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Novak Djokovic is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02You would have known that, Judith.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- I would have known that.- So much.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07What is the longest track event in an Olympic decathlon?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15A decathlon? The one with ten? Um...
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Oh, golly. I don't know.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Decathlon. Um, I think I'm going to say 1,500m.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- 1,500m is correct. - Phew.- Playing well.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Dan, back to you. Sport, we're on.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31The goalkeeper Petr Cech left Chelsea
0:19:31 > 0:19:34to join which football club in June 2015?
0:19:38 > 0:19:43I have absolutely no idea. Um, at a guess...
0:19:45 > 0:19:46..Liverpool.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Arsenal's the answer.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50So, Judith, over to you. Here is your next question.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Which role does Ben Stokes usually perform
0:19:53 > 0:19:55for the England cricket team?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02I really should know this cos...
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Shouldn't I?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07A little sort of thing is going off in my head saying spin bowler.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And the thing that's been going off in your head,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12can you describe it more closely? Is it a pain or a twinge?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Well, what's usually described as an inkle.- An inkle, OK.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Cos I'm just wondering whether you need attention for that
0:20:18 > 0:20:21cos it's wrong. All-rounder. SHE LAUGHS
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- It's wrong?- Whatever the thing going off in your head is...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27You've got a new technique of delivering the bad news.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I just was worried for you,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31that's all. SHE LAUGHS
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Don't know what's going off in your head, but it's not helpful.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36OK, Dan, this is now looking good.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Well, it's not really. LAUGHTER
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Sorry. It's one-all.- Yeah.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I'm trying to be optimistic here, Dan.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- You've got to go with it, OK? - Thanks. Cheers.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49In which decade did Australian tennis star Lew Hoad
0:20:49 > 0:20:51win the Australian Open,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55the French Open and the Wimbledon singles titles?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03It's an absolute, complete guess.
0:21:03 > 0:21:051950s.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- You've got it right. 1950s. - Luck. 100% luck.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You're very, very good at luck, in that case.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12- That is so annoying.- Well done.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17- Oh, Judith. Judith, Judith. - He was my hero, too.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19You're not out yet.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21In which country is Pyeongchang,
0:21:21 > 0:21:26the city that won the bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympics?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Can you say that again? - Let me spell it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35It really does sound dramatic. It's not just me.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39P-Y-E-O-N-G-C-H-A-N-G.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44This... I really should know this, shouldn't I? Pyeongchang.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I think it's Japan.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48OK, if you've got this wrong, Judith, you're out.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49- Yes.- You've said Japan.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I always go to Barry when people mention Japan
0:21:52 > 0:21:54cos it's his favourite place outside Leeds.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- HE LAUGHS Barry?- I'd love to say it was,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58but, unfortunately, it's South Korea.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01South Korea is the answer. You've been knocked out, Judith.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Well done, Dan.- Cheers. Thanks.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- What about that?- I knew that one.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07So, you will be in the final round
0:22:07 > 0:22:11and Ms Keppel won't. The cup is still empty here on my desk.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Please come back. We'll play the final.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Well, what a contest.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Just when we thought you were unbeatable, Eggheads,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19you get battered and bashed around.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And this is another of those games for our Eggs.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It is time for the final round. As always, it's General Knowledge,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:29 > 0:22:31will not be allowed to take part.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35So, that is Charles from C3... Sorry, Charles.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38..but also CJ, Barry and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46David, Ed, Dan and Derek, you are playing to win C3 £2,000.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Chris and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58You are allowed to confer. OK?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02So, C3, the question is, can you, with your four brains,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05finish the job off now and defeat these two?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08The only problem is they are Eggheads.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Would you like to go first or second, David?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11We're going to go first.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16OK, guys, good luck.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18What is the French word for Thursday?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Jeudi. Jeudi.- Yeah, jeudi.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Jeudi is correct. Well done.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Eggheads,
0:23:29 > 0:23:33what is the name of Prince Edward's eldest child?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Louise, isn't it?
0:23:39 > 0:23:40- Louise?- Louise, yeah.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- They've got a girl and a boy and the girl is...- Eugenie is...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45The girl is older.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Eugenie and Savannah aren't.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49That is Louise.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Louise is correct. Well done.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54The next question is for C3.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Which Labour Party politician
0:23:55 > 0:23:59married the film director Jill Craigie in 1949?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- I know this.- Do you?
0:24:04 > 0:24:05- Michael Foot.- Michael Foot?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Definitely.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Derek's fairly confident
0:24:08 > 0:24:09it's Michael Foot.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Derek is right. I'm sensing you're a great quizzer, Derek, by the way.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Michael Foot is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17OK, Eggheads, which of these
0:24:17 > 0:24:21is a 2015 animated film by the film studio Pixar?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Inside Out?- Inside Out. Yeah, absolutely.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Yeah, very good film. It's Inside Out.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Inside Out is quite right.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Back to you.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39In the lyrics of The Beatles' hit Paperback Writer,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43"the book is based on a novel by a man named what"?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- It's Lear.- Yeah.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Again, Derek's saving us.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51It's Lear.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Saving you the trouble of discussing it.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56It is "based on a novel by a man named Lear".
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Well done. Well done, Derek.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Team Derek.- That's three out of three just like that.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04OK, Eggheads, get this wrong,
0:25:04 > 0:25:05it's over.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Just putting yourselves back together as well.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09In cycling, what is a bidon?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Hmm.- Is that B-I-D-O-N?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Sorry, B-I-D-O-N.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I don't know. Have you got any idea, Chris? Cos I...
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- I'm slightly towards water bottle. - Yeah, so am I, but I'm just...
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Is it something to do with a race number?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Heard anybody refer to a race number as a bidon?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- I can't really see that.- No.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33And a safety helmet. A bidon?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36I don't... That's possible, but...
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Given how the French mind works,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40it could be an upside-down bidet, couldn't it?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- Yeah, that's true.- Um, still want to go for water bottle?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- Yeah, I think that's probably the best.- Yeah.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- That was our first instinct. - Bidon. Bouvoir.- Yeah.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Um...- Shall we go for that?- Yeah.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Yeah. Go for it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01We're not sure on this. Don't think it's a race number.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04We got a bit worried about safety helmet,
0:26:04 > 0:26:05but we both seemed to have
0:26:05 > 0:26:06a little first instinct
0:26:06 > 0:26:08that it might be a water bottle.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I've heard the term, but can't remember what it relates to,
0:26:11 > 0:26:12so we'll say water bottle.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14They're willing you on backstage.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Water bottle is the right answer.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19So, three each. Sorry it's not
0:26:19 > 0:26:21quite as straightforward as we might have hoped.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24We go to Sudden Death. Gets a bit more difficult.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- Here we go. Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30In which 1967 novel by Angela Carter
0:26:30 > 0:26:33does the central character Melanie travel to London
0:26:33 > 0:26:36to live with her sinister Uncle Philip?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39The only book I know by Angela Carter
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- is Nights At The Circus. - What is that again, sorry?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Nights At The Circus is the only Angela Carter novel I know,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47so that's the only contribution I can...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Is there any other...? - I don't know any other books.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- I have no idea, no. - I don't know the answer.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Derek knows one book by Angela Carter,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56which is Nights At The Circus...
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Nights At The Circus.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- ..so we're going to go with that.- OK.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Let's see if you're right. Are they? - We don't know, to be honest.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I don't think it's Nights At The Circus,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06but I may be entirely wrong about that.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07It may be something like Company Of Wolves.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10No, it's neither, actually. It's The Magic Toyshop.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12That's the one, yeah.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- Never heard of it. - The Magic Toyshop, 1967.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Eggheads, your question
0:27:18 > 0:27:19for the contest.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Which US state, the fifth largest in area,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25lies immediately east of Arizona?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- New Mexico.- New Mexico. - It's New Mexico, isn't it?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30That would be about the fifth biggest.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Yeah.- Well, immediately east of Arizona is New Mexico.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36If you've got this right, you've won.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Immediately east of Arizona is New Mexico.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43You have won. APPLAUSE
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Well, that was a stinker, The Magic Toyshop.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Yeah.- That was a stinker.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Very sorry. Hope you've enjoyed playing.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- It's been marvellous.- It's been a good game.- Been a great game.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Great quizzers. You were taking them apart.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00The Eggheads have done what comes naturally,
0:28:00 > 0:28:01gained a bit of their bounce back.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04They reign supreme again in quiz land.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06It does mean you won't be going home with the £2,000,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Just starting to look a little bit unbeatable again.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:17 > 0:28:19have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
