0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 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 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads, and here you are.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- Yeah. Here we are. - And there you are.- And there I am.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Well, are you excited? Aren't you?
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Always.- Very much.- They keep it a little bit quiet, but they are.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:44 > 0:00:46are Enviro-mentalists.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48This team of colleagues all work
0:00:48 > 0:00:51for the same environmental consultancy based in Manchester
0:00:51 > 0:00:55and they regularly get together at the company's sport and social club.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56So let's meet them.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi. My name is Barry and I'm an operations quality manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi. My name is Tracey and I am in human resources.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Nick and I'm a building manager.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Hi. My name's Bob and I'm a technical director.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I'm Chris and I'm an environmental consultant.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13So, Barry, team, welcome.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Thank you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19And tell us... First of all, tell us why Enviro-mentalists?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We work for an environmental consultancy.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25You don't have to be mad to work there but I think it helps.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27So what kind of environmental work do you do?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Asbestos monitoring, surveying,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33occupational hygiene, legionella risk assessments.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Right.- Anything of a health and safety nature.- Very, very useful.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And there's actually quite a lot of quizzing material in there, I think.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Eggheads?- Oh, yeah. - Look at them, already truffling.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Their antennae are up looking for facts, as they always are.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48You obviously meet at the social club at the company a lot.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52We do. We do a lot of activities outside of work.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And quizzing is one of them or not?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Quizzing is something I do every week in the local pub.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01You're the captain and also the number-one quizzer, then, Barry?
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Maybe you shouldn't say.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Maybe we should just keep that hidden at the moment
0:02:05 > 0:02:08for tactical and strategic reasons.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Let's keep them a bit of a mystery, this team.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So, every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:14 > 0:02:18for our Challengers, however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Enviro-mentalists, I can tell you the Eggheads
0:02:22 > 0:02:23have won the last six games,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26which means £7,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Would you like to play for that money?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Oh, yes!- Very good.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Who would like History?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- History?- It was Nick, wasn't it?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Mine, I think.- Bob.- Bob.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41- Going to be Bob?- I'll do that.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45OK, Bob, technical director, against which Egghead?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Any one of the five.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Right, I think...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Anyone you want, Bob.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53It's a bit of a football needle, I'll go for Dave, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Ah, football needle, yes, that's always good.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Bob from Enviro-mentalists versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06OK, Bob, History, your choice.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15And here is your first question. Good luck to you, Bob.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Which of these monarchs worked hard
0:03:17 > 0:03:20to overcome the effects of a severe stammer?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Right...
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I think the only reason I know this one
0:03:29 > 0:03:31is because I watch films quite a lot.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35One of those films was The King's Speech.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38And I'm pretty certain it's George VI.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40George VI is the right answer.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Dave, Queen Victoria's famous servant John Brown was born where?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52It's a trip round the film industry, isn't it?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I think Billy Connolly played him.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59So I think, if it's Billy Connolly, it's Scotland.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Scotland is correct.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Back to you, Bob.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Which of these battles took place in 1704?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Ooh... Erm...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I think Inkerman...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20That was in the 1800s,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm reasonably certain.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Castillon, I'm not absolutely sure.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29But I know Blenheim was in the 1700s.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I think I'd have to...
0:04:32 > 0:04:35probably take a guess at Blenheim.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37OK, let's check with your team. You happy with that?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Yeah, I'm happy with that. - They like it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Blenheim is the right answer, well done.- Thank you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44OK, two out of two, Bob. Nice playing.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Over to you, Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49The ancient Egyptian complex at Karnak
0:04:49 > 0:04:51is famous for which type of buildings?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Erm... I believe
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Karnak is temples.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Temples is right.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Neck and neck here.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07OK, third question can be crucial, Bob.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10The part of the Spanish empire known as Upper Peru
0:05:10 > 0:05:13became which independent country in 1825?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Erm...
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I'm just trying to think where Peru is
0:05:23 > 0:05:24in relation to... I think...
0:05:24 > 0:05:29I know Colombia is further north from Peru.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I suspect Bolivia is a bit further south.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36It's Ecuador or Colombia.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Again, I'll go for Colombia.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Check with the Eggheads. What do you think?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Bolivia.- Yeah, Bolivia is the right answer.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45So, two out of three.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48If Tremendous Knowledge Dave gets this one right,
0:05:48 > 0:05:49he's in the final round.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53In which year did the Dutch admiral de Ruyter
0:05:53 > 0:05:56conduct the famous raid on the Medway,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59destroying or capturing many English ships?
0:06:04 > 0:06:09I am not sure on this one at all. I've not heard about it. Erm...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Just trying to apply some kind of logic.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I think William of Orange came in 1689.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19So has that got something to do with it?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24No, I'm going to veer away from it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I'm going to veer away from that logic and go 1593.
0:06:28 > 0:06:321593. If you've got this right, you're in the final.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34If you've got it wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35It's the middle one, actually. 1667.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I thought it could be something to do with him.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Two out of three for you both. Bob, we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42You know how it works here.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I don't give you alternatives so it's a bit harder.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50The 732 AD Battle of Tours, T-O-U-R-S,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53sometimes called the Battle of Poitiers,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56was a decisive victory for which Frankish ruler
0:06:56 > 0:06:59over invaders from Spain?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03No. I'm going to have to take a complete guess on this.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Erm...
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Charlemagne? Out of the blue.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10No. Charles Martel.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Dave, to take the round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Who succeeded Thomas Jefferson as president of the United States?
0:07:19 > 0:07:20It's a James.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Let's put myself out of my misery. James Madison.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29James Madison is the right answer. Well done, Dave.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31You've taken the round. Bob, sorry.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Charles Martel was the problem there.- Yep.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35And did you know Charles Martel, Dave?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37No. I would have gone Charlemagne,
0:07:37 > 0:07:41but I'm thinking that Charlemagne's later, so no.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45OK, come back to us and we'll see what happens in the next round.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48So, a wobbly start for our Enviro-mentalists.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50They've lost a brain from the final round
0:07:50 > 0:07:52and the Eggheads have still got all five.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54But you can change that now.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It is going to be Arts and Books.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58So, who would like this?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Yeah, down to me.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02You did say, yeah.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I did say yeah!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I don't know why I said it, but I'll be...
0:08:07 > 0:08:10OK, Nick. Arts and Books against which Egghead?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12You can pick anyone except for Dave.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Shall we go for Lisa?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Yeah, Lisa.- OK, we'll go Lisa, please, Jeremy.- Sure. Great.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21OK, Nick from Enviro-mentalists versus Lisa from the Eggheads
0:08:21 > 0:08:25on Arts and Books. Please go to the special Question Room now.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Good luck against Lisa.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28And would you like to go first or second, Nick?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'll go first.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Here we go with your first question, Nick. Good luck.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41The Gothic style of art emerged during which century?
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I think...
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I think the 7th is a little bit early.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I think the 17th is probably... I'm going to go the 12th, Jeremy.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55The 12th.
0:08:55 > 0:08:5912th is correct. Well done.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Well done to you.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Lisa, what type of transport
0:09:03 > 0:09:07features in the Roy Lichtenstein painting entitled Whaam!?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Great picture. Erm...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Let's just check I've got this right.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Yeah, it's an aircraft.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Aircraft is right.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21If Chris was here, he would have had to say train, wouldn't he?
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Even though it's not.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25OK. Nick, your question.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Brighton Beach Memoirs and London Suite
0:09:28 > 0:09:30are works by which American playwright?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37To be quite honest,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I've not really heard of Thornton Wilder.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I have Edward Albee, but...
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Neil Simon's more of a...
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I'm going to go with Neil Simon.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Neil Simon is right.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Playing really well.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54You've got a real instinct for it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55OK, Lisa.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00Which of these literary characters appears in the novel Trainspotting?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Holden Caulfield's the protagonist of The Catcher In The Rye
0:10:08 > 0:10:12and I think you find Dean Moriarty in...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Is it On the Road? Could be wrong.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Anyway, as played by Ewan McGregor in the film, it's Mark Renton.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Mark Renton is quite right.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22So, it's two each.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- And we go back to you, Nick.- Right.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Try and get this one right, put some pressure on Lisa.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30The French sculptor Camille Claudel
0:10:30 > 0:10:33modelled for and became the mistress
0:10:33 > 0:10:35of which other artist?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I'm afraid I've not really got a clue here,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47so I'm going to have to go...
0:10:47 > 0:10:49And I'm looking at it straight down the middle here
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and it's just staring at me here. I'm going to go with Auguste Rodin.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Auguste Rodin. Eggheads, is he right?- Yeah.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Yes, you are right! Well done!
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I think Gauguin was off in Tahiti a lot at the time,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06but Constantin Brancusi, who knows?
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Anyone help us with that person?
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Romanian who made his career in France later on.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14But a bit younger than Rodin.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17But, you know, around a lot at the same time,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19so a possibility, definitely.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- But, no, it's Rodin. - Yeah, it's Rodin.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24So three out of three, Nick. Well done. Brilliant.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25So, Lisa, on to you.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29The Starbuck Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell
0:11:29 > 0:11:32is a series of historical novels
0:11:32 > 0:11:34set during which Civil War, Lisa?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I'm inclined to rule out Spanish
0:11:40 > 0:11:44because Cornwell tends to be slightly further back,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46historical period-wise.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Now, obviously, if you go off things like Sharpe,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54he is a bit of an English history buff.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58But I think Sharpe's period would run more to the American Civil War
0:11:58 > 0:12:00than the English,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02so I'm sort of struggling as to
0:12:02 > 0:12:05which of those logic paths to follow, really.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I'll go for American.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Yeah, I don't know if Star is...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Or Starbuck generally is a bit more American word.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Kevin?- A little bit more, maybe.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18But Lisa's quite right, anyway.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21It is an American Civil War series.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I think he's called Nathaniel Starbuck or some such name.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26We think it's Nathaniel Starbuck.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28You're absolutely right, Lisa. American is correct.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Kevin confirms it.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33So, three points each. Here we go again, Nick.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34I was rather dreading that.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Yeah, you were just on the edge of going through to the final.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Let's see if you can still do it.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43It's Sudden Death. I don't give you alternative answers.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45In Enid Blyton's Famous Five stories,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48what is the name of Julian and Dick's sister?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53For some reason, and I don't know why,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I'm going to say they were named Leslie.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- I don't know why. - I have a feeling...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Lisa, were you saying you were reading some of these recently?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I reread all 21 of Enid Blyton's Famous Five novels recently.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07And so what is the answer?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08She was called Anne.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Anne is the answer, Nick. Sorry.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Sudden Death. Lisa has a chance to take the round with this question.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Billy Pilgrim is a central character in which Kurt Vonnegut novel?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22This is kind of one of those times
0:13:22 > 0:13:25where, if you've got one answer, you should probably use it,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28as I'm not really up on Vonnegut.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I will say Slaughterhouse-Five.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33You've done it. You're right, Lisa. You're in the final round.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Sorry, Nick.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Welcome to the slaughterhouse!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Let's see if your team can turn it around now.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43But well played to you and come back and we'll play on.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46As it stands, Enviro-mentalists have lost two brains
0:13:46 > 0:13:48from the final round, although one has to say credit to Lisa,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51she's read all of Enid Blyton so... Not many do that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53The Eggheads have still got all five brains.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I wonder if you're going to go through this contest
0:13:55 > 0:13:59without losing a brain. Let's see. The next subject is Sport.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Who's the sportsperson?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Chris.- Chris.- I'll take it. OK.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07OK, Chris, our environmental consultant. Against which Egghead?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09You can have Pat or CJ or Kevin.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Well, because CJ was bragging about his sports ability before,
0:14:12 > 0:14:13we'll take CJ.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17The word "bragging" has never been used... Never.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Never appropriate. So you want CJ?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20- Please.- OK. Fine.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22So, Chris from Enviro-mentalists
0:14:22 > 0:14:25versus the marathon runner of the Eggheads.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31OK, Chris, we're on Sport.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And would you like to go first or second against the great CJ?
0:14:34 > 0:14:35First, please.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42So here is your first question on Sport.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Which Scottish course is widely known as the home of golf?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Relatively easy one to start off with for me.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53That's St Andrews, I think.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55It is indeed St Andrews. Well done.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59CJ, what colour are the shirts
0:14:59 > 0:15:02traditionally worn by Everton Football Club at home?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I think they play in blue.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Er...
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Yeah, blue.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Well done.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I sensed your fear there!
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Of getting it wrong.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23OK, Chris, which British cyclist
0:15:23 > 0:15:25managed to complete the 2013 Tour de France
0:15:25 > 0:15:29despite suffering a fractured pelvis on the first day?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I do like watching the Tour de France.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Chris Hoy, I don't think, has ever ridden it. Bradley Wiggins,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42I don't remember him falling off injured and hurting himself.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47So I think it is a local lad to myself, which is Geraint Thomas.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Geraint Thomas is correct, well done. Two out of two.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51CJ, back to you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Which international rugby team
0:15:53 > 0:15:57appointed Joe Schmidt as coach in 2013?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Absolutely no idea.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I'm afraid I've got nothing to go on here
0:16:05 > 0:16:07so it's just going to be a blind guess.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'll try Scotland.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Chris, do you know?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- No.- You don't know? OK.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Eggs?- Ireland.- Ireland.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20So, our Challenger is in the lead.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24If you get this one right, you're in the final round, Chris.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Take your time.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Who won the 1970 Formula 1 World Championship
0:16:29 > 0:16:31driving a Lotus?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I don't really know them names at all.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43But I've got a feeling Jochen Rindt died
0:16:43 > 0:16:46and was awarded it post... After he died.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49He crashed early on and I've got a feeling that was 1970.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52One of them facts I remember, I don't know, so Jochen Rindt.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Jochen Rindt is your answer. Let me see if CJ knows.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56I think you know a bit about this sport, CJ.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Unfortunately, it's Jochen Rindt.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- And is the fact correct about him dying?- I don't know about that,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04but I think he won the title in 1970
0:17:04 > 0:17:06despite only winning one race in the whole season.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10OK, we'll check into it but the main thing to say is well done, Chris.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12You've knocked CJ out.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- He is having some rough rounds, CJ, at the moment.- Not doing well.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Come back to us, both of you,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23We should have a word about Jochen Rindt,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27who died in '70 but was Formula 1 champion as well.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30He apparently died in practice. Is that right, Eggs?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Don't think it was in an actual race.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37We think he had five... He won five. He died in practice for the Italian,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40therefore obviously missed that one and the next three.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Still had enough points to win.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Amazingly, still had enough points to win. Yeah.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46As it stands, the Enviro-mentalists
0:17:46 > 0:17:49have lost two brains from the final round,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51the Eggheads have lost one now.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53The next subject for you is Music.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56And last one before the final here.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Tracey.- That would be great.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Tracey? All righty. Against whom?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04You can have either Pat or Kevin.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Kevin, please.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Tracey from Enviro-mentalists versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13please both of you go to our Question Room.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- So you do some acting and directing, Tracey?- I do, indeed.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Tell us about that.- OK, well, I do it at the Wigan Little Theatre.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Have been a member for about 16 years now.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I do lots of acting, directing.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32The last thing I directed was Jekyll & Hyde, The Musical.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Directing Witches of Eastwick next year, the musical.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Gosh, that's busy work, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- You've got to be across everything. - Completely.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42All right, so you're on Music.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Tracey against Kevin, the grand master.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49First, please.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Here we go. What nationality were the family pop group The Osmonds?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I'm pretty sure The Osmonds were American.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I had Donny on my wall.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I think... I'm worried that I did as well.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- American is right.- Yay!
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Any Donny for you, Kevin?- No, sadly.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17What were you into at that time? Early '70s.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Early '70s? Not a great deal at that time, really...
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Floyd?- ..to be perfectly honest. No, not really.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26No, my early taste in music
0:19:26 > 0:19:29actually ran more to things like film theme tunes
0:19:29 > 0:19:31and that kind of thing.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33OK, here is your question.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37In which year did Kylie Minogue launch her K25 project
0:19:37 > 0:19:40after 25 years in the music business?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51After 25 years in the music business.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Well, if it was 1994, that would obviously take it back to 1969,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57which is stretching it a bit.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01If it was 2003, it would take her back to '78, which also is.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05I think that's presumably got to be 2012, then.
0:20:05 > 0:20:072012 is correct.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09One each. Back to you, Tracey.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Whose quartet had a hit single in 1961 with Take Five?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Oh.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25I really, really do not know this, so this is going to be a guess.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I'm going to guess at Miles Davis.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32The answer is not Miles Davis, I'm sorry. It's Dave Brubeck.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Dave Brubeck.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36So Kevin has the chance to go into the lead
0:20:36 > 0:20:38with the second question. Kevin.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Sir Colin Davis became famous in orchestral music in which role?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49He is a famous conductor.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Conductor is right.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54So Kevin has two and, Tracey, you've got the one.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57You need to get this one correct or you've been knocked out.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Go for it.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Which band had hits in the 1990s
0:21:01 > 0:21:05with Alright, Going Out and Richard III?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I don't think it's Blur.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I think this is going to be another guess.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I'm going to go with The Verve.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I think Nick knows the answer to this. Nick?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Supergrass. - Supergrass is the answer.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Sorry, Tracey.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Just went the wrong way both times.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33And, Kevin, you're in the final round.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35No way back for our Challenger here.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41Come back to us, both of you, and we will play that final for £7,000.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44So, the Eggheads seem to be back on very good form here,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46but are they really? This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48It is time for the final round.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50As always, it is general knowledge.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:53 > 0:21:56won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00So that is Tracey, Nick and Bob from Enviro-mentalists
0:22:00 > 0:22:02and also CJ from the Eggheads.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Would you, please, leave the studio?
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Barry and Chris, you're playing to win the Enviro-mentalists £7,000.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16which is the reputation of your great team.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21This time, the questions are all general knowledge
0:22:21 > 0:22:23and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26So, Enviro-mentalists, the question is -
0:22:26 > 0:22:30are your two brains able to defeat these four?
0:22:30 > 0:22:31And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- First.- We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38So here is your first question.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Which of these plants is a giant type of grass?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Straight away, I'm thinking bamboo.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Sphagnum's a moss. Mangrove's a vine thing.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- We agree on bamboo?- Bamboo.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Bamboo, Jeremy.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59You like bamboo. You're right. Bamboo's right. Well done.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Eggheads.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05The Pokemon range of electronic games
0:23:05 > 0:23:08originated in which country in 1995?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Japan.- Japan sounds fine to me.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16We believe it's Japanese.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I think they're very Japanese.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Japan.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22They are indeed Japanese. Well done. Japan is the answer.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Back to you, Challengers.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26So far so good.
0:23:26 > 0:23:32Andrews Air Force Base is located near which US city?
0:23:38 > 0:23:39I don't know.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Seattle?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Is Andrews Air Force Base where they used to do testing?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Did they used to do testing there?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I've never heard of Andrews Air Force Base.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- I can't imagine it being Miami, can you?- I can't, no.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54But Seattle... I wouldn't have thought it would be Seattle.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Is Washington not too built-up to have an Air Force base?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00But maybe, because it's Washington DC, it might have an Air Force base
0:24:00 > 0:24:02because of the President's plane or...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Yeah, it might be where Air Force One is kept.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- We're not too sure. - What you going for?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- But we're going to go for Washington DC.- OK.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Washington DC.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Washington DC. Now, I've got a memory here.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Was this Nixon...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Was it that?- Yeah.- That was Andrews.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I've got a very, very minor indeed story about that.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25It's just a silly thing.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27It's the home of Air Force One.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29That's where they keep Air Force One.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31It's in Maryland, a little bit out of Washington.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33And I had to go there for a meeting once.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35The American side of the meeting,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38every time the words Andrews Air Force Base were mentioned,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42it had to be suffixed by "The home of Air Force One".
0:24:42 > 0:24:44This actually became quite funny after a while
0:24:44 > 0:24:46because they couldn't utter the words Andrews Air Force Base
0:24:46 > 0:24:48without saying, "The home of Air Force One,"
0:24:48 > 0:24:51as though you were going to be constantly impressed by it.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53You are correct, it is Washington DC. Well done.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59Well done, because it's easy to come unstuck on those margin calls.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03OK, Eggheads. The term sapper is particularly associated
0:25:03 > 0:25:07with which element of the British forces?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Engineers.- Engineers. Sapper. - Engineers.- Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17It relates to engineers.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20It indeed does relate to engineers. Well done.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21So, two out of two for both teams.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26All right, the screw is tightening, but I'm not sure on whom.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Challengers, get this one right
0:25:27 > 0:25:29and then you've got a bit of pressure on them,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32and then maybe they mess up and then you go home with the money.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34It's that simple.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36In which field of design
0:25:36 > 0:25:41did Clements Ribeiro become a well-known partnership?
0:25:45 > 0:25:46And to spell it might help you.
0:25:46 > 0:25:52C-L-E-M-E-N-T-S, and then R-I-B-E-I-R-O.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Clements Ribeiro, a partnership.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57What would be a good partnership?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Could be furniture, fashion or architecture.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- I've never heard of it in fashion. - No.- Clements Ribeiro, never.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Clements... I don't know. It sounds more architecture to me.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I wouldn't guess at furniture.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Clements Ribeiro. Let's guess at architecture.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13We'll rule fashion out. We're going to rule furniture out.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- And we're going to guess. - We're going to guess! Architecture.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18We're not too sure again, Jeremy,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21but we're going to guess architecture.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Architecture, you've gone for.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Your third question in the final round.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Do you think this would have helped at all? They are husband and wife.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Fashion, maybe?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Suzanne Clements and Inacio Ribeiro.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Not saying you've got it wrong. Do you know?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Fashion. - Fashion? What? Lately? Recent?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41They've been going for quite a long time.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44They became sort of big in the early-to-mid-'90s
0:26:44 > 0:26:46and they're very sort of bold designers.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I think she does the form and he does the prints,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- something like that. - Fashion is the answer.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Never would've got that, would we?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I bet Tracey knew that. Did you know that, Tracey?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- No, I went for furniture.- OK!
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Well, that is some consolation.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05All right. You're not out yet.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08But, if the Eggheads get this right, you will be.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Which Secretary-General of the United Nations died in a plane crash
0:27:13 > 0:27:16on a mission to the Congo in 1961?
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Dag Hammarskjold.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Dag Hammarskjold.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- Yep.- The only one who fits the bill.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Yes. That was Dag Hammarskjold.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31No doubting that, is there?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35You know it. It's almost like you were there.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You can't prove it!
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Don't say that, because there are still conspiracy theories about it!
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Dag Hammarskjold is the answer.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And that... Did you know Dag, by the way?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- No.- No. - Well, that's very honest of you.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58That sort of classic fact.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01As soon as I saw it, I thought, "They know this".
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- They all started nodding straight away.- Yeah.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Well, thanks for playing!- It's been a great experience. Thank you.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07I hope you enjoyed it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09It is great just wrestling with all these questions
0:28:09 > 0:28:12and watching you do it has been fantastic, thank you.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Thank you.- Commiserations to Enviro-mentalists.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Their winning streak is now...
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Well, it's up and running again, isn't it?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25I'm afraid it means the Challengers don't go home with the £7,000
0:28:25 > 0:28:27so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:34have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37£8,000 says they don't. The jackpot is building!
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Till then, goodbye.
