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 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Well, who's better than you, really?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- No-one.- No-one, no.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Unless you have a bad night. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40In which case, it could be this team here.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Challenging our resident quiz champions today are
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Quiz Park Raisins, from London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Now, this team all became friends
0:00:47 > 0:00:50while studying together at Southampton University.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Mark. And I'm a case officer for a health care charity.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Greg and I'm risk analyst at a bank.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Jack and I'm a pub manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Elliot and I'm a marketing executive.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Sam and I'm a civil engineer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, Mark, team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Just tell us why Quiz Park Raisins.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13This sounds like the QPR football team name.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Yes, yeah. Well, we're all big football fans
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and we all share a dislike of Manchester United, so...
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Oh, dear, oh, dear.- It's all right.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Dave is hurting. Just keep going, and I'll protect you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Louis van Gaal, who we all share a particular dislike to as well,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30mispronounced Queens Park Rangers last season,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34and we thought we'd carry it through and have it as our team name.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Is that right, that your manager called Queens Park Rangers
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Quiz Park Raisins? Is that what he did?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I don't know what he called them.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I've lost interest in what they were saying as soon as that
0:01:44 > 0:01:46mention of Manchester United came in.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- So you're all based in London now, right?- Yes, yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- And met at Southampton University? - Yes. So we all met studying
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and then we all sort of moved to London since graduating.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I know you quiz together, or you did. Is that right?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01That's correct, yeah. We did quite a few quizzes in various pubs
0:02:01 > 0:02:05around Southampton and we still quiz in Clapham, South West London now.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08And is this the highest level you've quizzed at, against this show?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I don't know, we've had some difficult quizzes before, so...
0:02:10 > 0:02:12That's a very good answer.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Let's see how you go here.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17You've already managed to wind Dave up, which is probably a good tactic.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:19 > 0:02:20for our Challengers.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26the prize money rolls over and we play with it the next show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Now, Quiz Park Raisins, I can tell you that the Eggheads
0:02:28 > 0:02:31are starting to get a bit of strength together here.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32They've won the last seven.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So there's £8,000 for you to win today. Are you up for that?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Yeah, that sounds good. - OK, let's go for it.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Which of you would like this?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I think that's... That's you, Sam, isn't it?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Yeah, I'll take that one, please.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Sam, our civil engineer, against which Egghead?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Who do you want to take on? - Who do we think?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Erm... I mean, you could take Dave on, maybe?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- You think Dave?- Do you want to give Dave a go?- Yeah, yeah. Dave.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Tremendous Knowledge, yeah. - Dave, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01HE LAUGHS OK, that's brave.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Sam from Quiz Park Raisins versus Dave,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07who happens to be a fan of Man U, from the Eggheads.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:03:13 > 0:03:14OK, Sam, Film & TV.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17And I can't resist, it says here, "Sam can wiggle his ear."
0:03:17 > 0:03:19We always ask for interesting facts about people.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21This was apparently your one.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Yeah, I knew I would regret this.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25OK, we're ready.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28THEY LAUGH
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Brilliant!
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Can we slow-mo that? THEY LAUGH
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- That's very good. That's very, very good.- That's so clever.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38That could be used in a quiz as a kind of signalling system.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Yeah, maybe to put off the opposition.- Yeah.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42All right, good luck here.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Film & TV, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Um, I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Here we go. What is the name of the character played
0:03:54 > 0:03:57by David Hasselhoff in the TV series Baywatch?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05What is the name of the character played by David Hasselhoff
0:04:05 > 0:04:06in the TV series Baywatch?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Hm.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I've never actually seen an episode of Baywatch.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Um...
0:04:12 > 0:04:15So it's not an ideal question.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm drawn towards Mitch.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19But I don't really have any basis for that.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Um...
0:04:23 > 0:04:27But I think I'll go for Mitch, please.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Good man, Mitch is the answer. Well done.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31First point to our Challengers.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Which of these comic book heroes
0:04:35 > 0:04:39appears in the 2015 film Avengers - Age Of Ultron?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Which of these comic book heroes appears in the 2015 film
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Avengers - Age Of Ultron?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Don't know.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Don't watch these films at all.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Really don't know.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Knew this would come and do me.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Right. Let's have a think. - HE SIGHS
0:05:05 > 0:05:08It could be any of them as far as I'm concerned.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I've got no idea, no basis for any of them. I'll go Captain America.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Captain America is quite right. DAVE CHUCKLES
0:05:15 > 0:05:17OK, Sam, which bodybuilder
0:05:17 > 0:05:23played the title character in the 1970s and '80s TV series
0:05:23 > 0:05:24The Incredible Hulk?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Which bodybuilder played the title character in the 1970s
0:05:33 > 0:05:37and '80s TV series The Incredible Hulk?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Um, I think I know this one.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Um, I think it is Lou Ferrigno.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yeah, it is Lou Ferrigno, well done.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46He played the Hulk as well as the polite version.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50No, no, no. No, he played the Hulk when bulked up.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Right.- That was the point.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53- Bill Bixby.- Bill Bixby was
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Bruce Banner, yeah.- Bruce Banner.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So Lou Ferrigno. And he was green.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59He was only really ever green, wasn't he? Very hard to...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- He got typecast. - He did get typecast,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04and there are ever so few green parts.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Dave, which TV presenter hosted the nightly TV highlight show
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Wimbledon Today during the 2015 tournament?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Which TV presenter hosted the nightly TV highlight show
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Wimbledon Today during the 2015 tournament?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I don't think it's Gabby Logan, I don't think it's Suzi Perry.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Attracted quite a lot of criticism at the time
0:06:29 > 0:06:32because it didn't show enough tennis highlights, I think.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Clare Balding.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Clare Balding is quite right.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37OK, Sam,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40get this right, put Dave under a bit of pressure. You never know.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Which film-maker was given the job of directing
0:06:42 > 0:06:46the blockbuster Jurassic World after impressing
0:06:46 > 0:06:50with his low-budget indie film Safety Not Guaranteed?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Which film-maker was given the job of directing the blockbuster
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Jurassic World after impressing with his low-budget indie film
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Safety Not Guaranteed?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Um... I haven't seen the film.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Um...
0:07:12 > 0:07:16So I wouldn't have seen the credits roll or anything like that. Um...
0:07:16 > 0:07:22I'm...completely...unsure of this one. I don't know the answer.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Um... I'm going to go for Gareth Edwards.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Let's see if Dave knows. Dave?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I've got Colin Trevorrow in my head, for some reason.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Yeah, it is Colin Trevorrow.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33So you've got two out of three, Sam.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Dave can take the round with this question.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39In which of these films does Jimmy Stewart play a character
0:07:39 > 0:07:40called George Bailey?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48In which of these films does Jimmy Stewart play a character
0:07:48 > 0:07:49called George Bailey?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I don't think it's The Philadelphia Story.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53I don't think it's Rear Window.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I think it's Frank Capra, It's A Wonderful Life myself.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59OK, if this is wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02If it's right, you're in the final.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04The answer is It's A Wonderful Life.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Dave, well done, you've knocked out Sam. Sorry, Sam.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Still early days for your team.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Much you can do. Come back to us, we'll play the next round.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17So we were having a bit of an Incredible Hulk moment there,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and we mentioned Bruce Banner
0:08:19 > 0:08:22who's the Hulk before he goes, rips his shirt open.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23But, Dave, important point from you.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I thought it was David, Dr David Banner that Bill Bixby
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- played in The Incredible Hulk. - So Bruce Banner was the comic strip.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32The comic strip, yeah.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36And then Dr David Banner was the one on the TV programme.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40And Lou Ferrigno, who you mentioned, still going strong.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Bill Bixby died pretty young, not even 60.- Not even 60, cancer, yeah.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Yeah. So as it stands,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Quiz Park Raisins have lost a brain from the final round.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51The Eggheads still have all five.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54But come on, guys, this is the moment for the push.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Don't leave it too late. The next subject is Science.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- OK.- Have we got a scientist here?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Yeah, I think that's going to be me on Science.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Right, what did you study? - I did biomedical science.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Oh, right, perfect. OK, good stuff. That certainly passes muster.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Against which Egghead?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Do you reckon Lisa?- I'm not really sure.- Yeah, I guess so.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Lisa.- Or Judith possibly.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Lisa or Judith?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Shall we say...? Shall we go Judith? Judith, yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22We'll take Judith on, please.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Mark from Quiz Park Raisins versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33OK, Mark, good luck in this round. Science it is.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45And here we go. In which part of the human body is the appendix located?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51OK, yeah, I think I know this one.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I don't think it's the head.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I think it's in the abdomen.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Abdomen is right, well done.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Judith, which of these
0:10:01 > 0:10:04is an old-fashioned name for tuberculosis?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Well, that is consumption.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12It is consumption.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Back to you, Mark.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17The Ragdoll is a breed of which type of animal?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- So it's the Ragdoll.- The Ragdoll.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27OK. I'm not 100% sure on this one.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- HE EXHALES - Hm.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32For some reason, I don't think it's a breed of dogs,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34so I'm going to rule that one out.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37So it's between horse and cat.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39And I think out of those two...
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Ragdoll...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I mean, I'm not a big cat person,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and for that reason, cos I've not heard of it, I'm going to go cat.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Is he right, Judith?- Yes. They go floppy when you pick them up.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Oh, is that right?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So they're like rag dolls, they go limp like a rag doll
0:10:52 > 0:10:53when they're picked up.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Right. You're right, Mark, well done. It is a cat.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Judith, your question. How old
0:10:58 > 0:11:01was John Glenn when, in 1998,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04he became the oldest person to travel into space?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08How old was John Glenn when, in 1998,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12he became the oldest person to travel into space?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- In '98?- 1998.
0:11:18 > 0:11:24OK, so 30 years before, he would have been suckling, wouldn't he?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28And he'd have probably been in his 30s then.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30He wouldn't have been in his 20s.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35So I think he was probably 67.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40So you're thinking in 1970, let's say, he was roughly 30.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- 30-something, yes. - So you go 70, 80, 90...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46You're at 30 years. Yeah, I see what you mean.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- That's my logic. - Yeah, no, got it. It's wrong.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- SHE LAUGHS It's 77.- Gosh!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- So he was in his 40s...? - Let's just check.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Pat's got information.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Well, six of the 12 men who landed on the moon were born in 1930.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02At the time they were putting these teams of astronauts together,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06they tended to pick identical aged people, so statistically...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I'm not sure whether he was born in 1930,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10but there is every chance he was.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11He was born in 1921.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- '21, OK.- Oh, was he?- Yeah. 1921.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17We go back to you, Mark. This is now looking better
0:12:17 > 0:12:20for your team. You're ahead of Judith.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23If you get this one right, you're in the final round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28The Roslin Institute, where Dolly the sheep was born in 1996,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30is located in which part of UK?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38The Roslin Institute, where Dolly the sheep was born in 1996,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41located in which part of the UK?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44OK, um...
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Rosalind Institute. - Roslin. R-O-S-L-I-N.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51L-I-N, the Roslin. OK.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Um... Again, I'm not 100% sure on this one.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57For some reason, I don't know why, I'm going to rule out Wales.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59So it's between Scotland and Northern Ireland.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02And I think between those two, I'm going to go for Scotland.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05If you got this right, you're in the final round.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07If you got it wrong, we play on. Judith?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- It's right.- You're right, Scotland it is. Well done, Mark. Nicely done.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14The biomedical scientist beats the Egghead,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16and Mark will be in the final round.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Please come back to us, we'll see what happens in the next one.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23So, it's evenly balanced and very interesting, isn't it?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Quiz Park Raisins have lost a brain from the final round,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29the Eggheads have also lost a brain. They've lost Judith.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31So the next subject now is Sport.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Who is the sporting person?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Well, it's going to be Sam and that it was going to be me
0:13:36 > 0:13:38to cover that one, so...
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Do you reckon Greg? You want to go for Sport?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Yeah. Who are we going to go for?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Because I don't really feel that confident with Sport.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Should we take...?- Lisa. - Do you reckon Lisa? Or Pat, maybe?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Yeah, I guess possibly Lisa. - Yeah? Lisa on Sport?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Yeah, we'll go for Lisa, Jeremy.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58OK, so Greg from Quiz Park Raisins is going to play Lisa on Sport.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00And please go our Question Room now.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Greg, your first job involved dressing as a giraffe.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- MARK LAUGHS - Yeah.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- I regret putting that on the bio a little bit.- Yeah.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10What were you doing as a giraffe?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I was helping sell a children's book that involved a giraffe.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And you had to make giraffe noises or just...?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20No, it was a mute giraffe. But it was quite hot in the costume.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It was quite good pay, so I didn't mind it too much.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25And you are now...? You moved to the same sort of comedy level,
0:14:25 > 0:14:26cos you're working for a major bank.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Yeah, definitely.- Good stuff. - Lot of similarity.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- You ever dressed as an animal, Lisa?- No, sadly not.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I'm now trying to think of opportunities where, you know...
0:14:34 > 0:14:36What would you think, Jeremy, if you just looked up
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and there was a giant rhino on the screen or something?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Well, I mean, you know, we could have a themed Egghead one year.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Do you know, I would love that. I would think that was awesome.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It would take a lot of fixing. Where would the microphone go?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- I don't even want to think about it. - All right.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Well, let's move on with Sport.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Greg, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Here we go. Your first question is...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02In athletics,
0:15:02 > 0:15:08an Olympic 10,000m race consists of how many laps of an outdoor track?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14In athletics, an Olympic 10,000m race
0:15:14 > 0:15:17consists of how many laps of an outdoor track?
0:15:17 > 0:15:23OK, so I think 100m is about maybe a quarter of a lap.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'll go for 20.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Oh, you were on target for it there and then you just snatched at it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32It's 25.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34OK, Lisa,
0:15:34 > 0:15:39the 6'6" boxer Anthony Joshua fights in which weight division?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46The 6'6" boxer Anthony Joshua fights in which weight division?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48He won his Olympic title at heavyweight,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- we'll go for heavyweight. - Heavyweight's quite right.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Difficult to imagine he'd be any other weight if he's that height.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Well, given that I found out I was a heavyweight weight,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59and I'm 5'3", I'm not going to speculate any further.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Well, that... I think that was an error.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03LISA LAUGHS
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Greg, at the 50th anniversary
0:16:04 > 0:16:08of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award in 2003,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11which sportsman was selected from all of the previous winners
0:16:11 > 0:16:14as the show's Golden Personality?
0:16:18 > 0:16:23At the 50th anniversary of the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year award
0:16:23 > 0:16:25in 2003, which sportsman was selected
0:16:25 > 0:16:29from all of the previous winners as the show's Golden Personality?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36OK, so 2003.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I'm leaning towards Steve Redgrave.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Not entirely sure why.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I'll go Steve Redgrave.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Nicely done. Yeah, it's Steve Redgrave. That's the answer.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51You got a point there. Let's see
0:16:51 > 0:16:53if Lisa gets this question right.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Which football team defeated Japan in the final
0:16:56 > 0:16:59of the 2015 Women's World Cup?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06I think it was a fairly famous victory for the USA.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09USA is quite right. Good stuff. OK.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Third question. You need to get this one right now, Greg.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Otherwise, you'll be knocked out.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Which roll does David Warner usually perform
0:17:16 > 0:17:19for the Australian cricket team?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24I'm not that good at cricket.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25I've got to be honest.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I'm leaning towards wicketkeeper.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33It could be either. It could be any.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34I'll guess wicketkeeper.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Eggheads, do you know? - Opening batsman.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Opening batsman is the answer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41So with that, we have to say... Well done,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Greg, but you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45As a result, you will not be able to help your team out
0:17:45 > 0:17:47in the final round.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49And it's now Lisa who goes into the final round, and not you.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55So another blow for Quiz Park Raisins,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57who've lost two brains from the final round.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01But honestly, you can still very much, very much take them down.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04The Eggheads have still just lost the one.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06And your chance now to even it up with Politics.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Who would like this?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- I'll take that.- I think that's quite a good one, actually.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- I'm taking it.- Brilliant, we've got Elliot on Politics.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I know you love your politics. Against which Egghead? Kevin or Pat?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Kevin or Pat?- Not an easy choice. - We could take out...- Maybe Kevin?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- I think you're strong on Politics. - Do you want to give it a go?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- Yeah.- If we can take Kevin out of the final as well...- That's true.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- That would be a good chance. - Yeah, shall we give it a go?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Kevin I think would be good.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31OK, so it's Elliot from Quiz Park Raisins versus
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Kevin from the Eggheads on Politics.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Please go into the Question Room.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39So, Elliot, I gather we can bond on politics.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Yes. Yeah, a big fan of politics. - That's good.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44So you watch election night and all that stuff?
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Yeah, I really enjoyed the election night.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48All the coverage is great, especially the swingometer.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50JEREMY LAUGHS Blushes.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Do you have that thing at 10 o'clock on the night of election where
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- you did not know what to expect? - Yeah, kind of.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I didn't really know what to expect.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58I did have a cheeky little bet
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- that it might be a Conservative majority, though, so...- Did you?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Yeah. I was perhaps quite forward-thinking on that one.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06So the exit poll came out and you think,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09"Oh, no, this is not completely out of the bounds."
0:19:09 > 0:19:11But then the politicians start saying, "If it's right,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13"we're going to eat our hats and eat our shoes."
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Yeah. Then I sort of thought, go against that.- There we are.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18It was a lively night, wasn't it?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So you're on home territory here.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22But against Kevin, who is very good on this as well.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Would you like to go first or second, Elliot?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Good luck. Have fun.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35In which year was the Scottish politician Nicola Sturgeon born?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43In which year was the Scottish politician Nicola Sturgeon born?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47So, hm... If she was born in...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Well, I don't think it'd be 1980,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I think that would make her too young.
0:19:52 > 0:19:571960 would make her almost the same age as my parents,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01so that seems quite right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Oh, let me think. Maybe she's a little bit younger, actually.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I think of going to go for 1970, please.
0:20:06 > 0:20:091970 is correct. Well done. Well done.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11OK.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Kevin, your question.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Which European Union country missed a deadline
0:20:16 > 0:20:19for a 1.6 billion euro payment
0:20:19 > 0:20:22to the International Monetary Fund in July 2015?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Which European Union country missed a deadline
0:20:28 > 0:20:30for a 1.6 billion euro payment
0:20:30 > 0:20:34to the International Monetary Fund in July 2015?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I don't think either Belgium or Sweden have reached that
0:20:40 > 0:20:43situation yet. This was the great Greek crisis.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44So Greece.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Yes, it's the Greek crisis, well done. Greece is the answer.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Greece is the word.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Elliot, your question.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Hillary Clinton served as a senator
0:20:53 > 0:20:57for which US state from 2001 to '09?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Hillary Clinton served as a senator
0:21:03 > 0:21:08for which US state from 2001 to 2009?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Um, OK, so I have a real feeling it wasn't Arkansas.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Um, I'm not really sure between New York and California.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I would've thought I would've heard
0:21:21 > 0:21:25if she was the senator for... Maybe California does ring a bell.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Um, no, I think I'm going to go for New York.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31New York is correct.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32And is there anything we can add to that?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Was it a New York district,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36or do they not have districts for the Senate?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Just two senators. The junior senator from New York.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Yeah, so they have senior, junior? - They have a junior and a senior.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- It's just time served.- OK.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Kevin, your question. Second question.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Though he later denied saying it,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50which politician is credited with describing
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Clement Attlee as "a modest man who has much to be modest about"?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Though he later denied saying it,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02which politician is credited with describing
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Clement Attlee as "a modest man who has much to be modest about"?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Well, I think this was one of those...
0:22:09 > 0:22:11one of those famous Churchill quotes,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13or not, as the case may be.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14But Churchill.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Winston Churchill is correct.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19So you're equal. You're holding him at bay here, Elliot, well done.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Get this one right and see if you can topple the great Kevin.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Who was Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1974 to 1979?
0:22:33 > 0:22:37'74 to '79. I'm not really sure who Roy Hattersley is.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Um, but... So it would be between Tony Benn and Denis Healey.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44'74 to '79...
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Would have been before Thatcher.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Cos she came in in '79. So... And before Thatcher...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- I'm going to go for Tony Benn. - DAVE GROANS
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I'd love to give you good news on that, but you went the wrong way.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03It's not Roy Hattersley, it's not Tony Benn either.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04It's Denis Healey.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08It was the government of initially Wilson and then Jim Callaghan.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11And Healey was in charge of a lot of financial trouble,
0:23:11 > 0:23:12wasn't he, really?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16In a way, I think the difference is Denis Healey would be
0:23:16 > 0:23:20on the right of Labour and Tony Benn would be hugely on the left.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23OK, Kevin, in which year did Jamaica
0:23:23 > 0:23:26declare independence from the United Kingdom?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Well, they celebrated the 50th anniversary of it
0:23:35 > 0:23:37just a few years back. It's 1962.
0:23:37 > 0:23:401962 is quite right.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43So we say... Sorry, Elliot,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I'm really sorry it didn't work out.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48We need a little swingometer to say - Elliot two, Kevin three.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Kevin will be in the final.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Not over for the Challengers yet, though.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01It's time for the final round, which as always, is General Knowledge.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:24:03 > 0:24:06won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10So that's Greg, Elliot and Sam from Quiz Park Raisins
0:24:10 > 0:24:12but also Judith from the Eggheads.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Would you please now leave the studio?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20OK, Mark and Jack, you are playing to win your team £8,000.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25your reputation, and to continue this run.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30This time, they're all general knowledge.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32You can confer, by the way.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35So, Quiz Park Raisins, the question is,
0:24:35 > 0:24:39are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:24:39 > 0:24:40You don't need to answer that.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Would you like to go first or second?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Go first.- Yeah.- I think we'll go first, Jeremy.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Here we go then. Good luck.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54How many years are there in a triennium?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59How many years are there in a triennium?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01You'd assume that if it's a millennium...
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- A millennium is 1,000, isn't it? - A triennium is three.- 3,000.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I'm happy to go with that as well.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08- Yeah, 3,000?- Yeah.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10We'll go with 3,000.
0:25:10 > 0:25:133,000. I think that might be a tri-millennium.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15How do we get to...? It's three. It's three.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17You have triennial plants,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19like biennial plants that flower.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Yeah, I was going to say,
0:25:20 > 0:25:21- biennial means two yearly.- Hm.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Three, three, three...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Argh.- Argh.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Went too quickly.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Eggheads, the gem
0:25:28 > 0:25:31amethyst is typically what colour?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Amethyst is typically what colour?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Violet?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It's a violet gemstone. Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It's violet, Jeremy.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Violet is right.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45So they are ahead. It's not over.
0:25:45 > 0:25:51Who won the Best British Album and Best British Male Solo Artist
0:25:51 > 0:25:54awards at the 2015 Brits?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Who won the Best British Album
0:25:56 > 0:26:01and Best British Male Solo Artist awards at the 2015 Brits?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- I'm pretty sure it was Sam Smith. - I'm pretty sure it was Sam Smith.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I don't think it was George Ezra.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Ed Sheeran hasn't had anything...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I know Sam Smith...
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I know there was news of him clearing up, wasn't there?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Yeah.- Shall we go for that?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Yeah, I think we'll go for Sam Smith.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Yeah, we'll go with Sam Smith.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Sam Smith is your answer.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I know why you said that, because I heard him getting...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26MARK SIGHS What was it that he got?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Was it the Grammys? - Well, four Grammys.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29He got a load of Grammys.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32He got a couple of Brits as well, but he got something like
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Record of the Year and he also got
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Breakthrough, British Breakthrough.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Yeah, he did. But he didn't get this.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40He didn't get British Album and Male Solo Artist.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42That was Ed Sheeran. MARK SIGHS
0:26:42 > 0:26:44So you got two wrong.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46And, Eggheads, that means you can
0:26:46 > 0:26:49end this with this answer.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53The Serpentine is a lake in which of these London parks?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59The Serpentine is a lake
0:26:59 > 0:27:01in which of these London parks?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Hyde Park.- It's Hyde Park, yeah? - Hyde Park, yep.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08I think it was used in the Olympics for some long-distance swimming.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09It's in Hyde Park.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Yes, I cycle past it every day,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13so I know you're right.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Hyde Park is the correct answer.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18We say... Congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Oh! Mark and Jack,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- I'm sorry that was so quick. - Not a great final round.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33Well, it can happen. It really can. And the triennium thing...
0:27:33 > 0:27:34What would 3,000 be, Eggheads? Any...?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I think it probably would be something like tri-millennium.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Tri-millennial.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I think we probably rushed that one a bit as well.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Yeah, cos it looked like it was so obvious.- Yeah.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- I hope you've enjoyed coming. - Yeah, no, it's been a great day.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Brilliant team. We say commiserations to Quiz Park Raisins.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Dave, you're forgiven them now for their comments
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- about Manchester United?- No. - THEY LAUGH
0:27:55 > 0:27:57The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Their winning streak continues.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01So it means that you won't be going home with the £8,000.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04The money, therefore, rolls over to our next show.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:09 > 0:28:12have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15£9,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
