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 > 0:00:14arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And here you are, all wearing your Gibus hats.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38A reference to... Ah, we might get back to that.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41The incident in the last game. We'll talk about it in a minute.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Taking on the awesome might of our quiz Goliaths today,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47are Bar Stool Ballers from East Sussex.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Now, the majority of this team met through their shared love
0:00:49 > 0:00:51of the game stoolball.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55And now, regularly quiz at the British Queen in Willingdon.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Let's meet them.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello. I'm Jeff, I'm a retired police officer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Ian. I'm a teacher.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Simon and I'm a decorator.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hello, I'm Tim and I'm a retired tax inspector.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Steve and I'm an accountant.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13So, Jeff, team, welcome.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14- Thank you.- Hello, Jeremy.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Good to see you. This resolves around stoolball,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19which is a particular kind of game, is it?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22It revolves more around drinking, but we do, some of us,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24still play stoolball.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27It's a Sussex game that's not played anywhere else on earth.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Anyone know about stoolball?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- No.- No? So, immediately, their ears are pricking up.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Tell us more.- OK, it actually came from the French, from Normandy.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Originally, it was milk maids batting with a stool.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42It's two 11 players.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46It's based on a game where they throw the ball at a wicket,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50which is square. It's played in most of the villages around Sussex.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- So, would you use a wooden stool? - It's like a wooden frying pan.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Right.- A wooden one.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57It's based on cricket, to a certain extent.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00You get a four, and a six. Everything else is very similar.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02It's incredibly popular in Sussex.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And I gather you heard about the incident in the last game
0:02:05 > 0:02:08with the Eggheads and the question on the Gibus?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Would you have known the answer to the Gibus?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Of course we would.- Yes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Everybody's now claiming, "Yeah, we all know about the Gibus."
0:02:16 > 0:02:20It's just the... Who invented the collapsible opera hat, was it?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Yeah.- And you won't forget that, Chris, now.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Ha!- Mr Gibus.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Couldn't get the image of Harpo Marx out of my head.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29And I never even knew a collapsible opera hat existed.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Anyway, here we are. Another game, another day.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35We have £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers each day,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38as you know. But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40that prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43So, Bar Stool Ballers, because of this Gibus question,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45the Challengers won the last game,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47which proves it can be done
0:02:47 > 0:02:49and that means £1,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Would you like to have a go? - Yes.- Definitely.- Yeah.- OK.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of music.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57So, who would like this?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Would that be Ian? - Yes.- I think we'll have Ian.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Ian? OK, on Music. Against which Egghead, Ian?
0:03:05 > 0:03:06What do you think?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I don't know. I wouldn't want to take CJ on.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- I think probably Chris or Judith. - Judith?- Chris?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Yeah, Judith.- Judith? Chris. Let's go for Chris.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- I think Chris. OK.- Chris, please.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Swerving around there between Chris and Judith.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Chris. Chris on Music. What do we not like, Chris?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- We don't like rap. - Do you like the Sugababes?
0:03:25 > 0:03:30We won't rise to the bait, vis-a-vis the Sugababes or the Pussycat Dolls.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33No cracks about Carol Vorderman.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37No. We long for the round where Carol Vorderman comes up.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Or even enters the studio. That will be a great moment.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43But until that happens, we are just going to play
0:03:43 > 0:03:45the Music round like we always do. Ian, from the Bar Stool Ballers
0:03:45 > 0:03:48versus Chris from the Eggheads. To ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Ian, you're a PE teacher.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Yeah.- And I know you describe yourself as
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- the oldest PE teacher in the world.- Probably, Jeremy, yes.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I probably am.- You've been doing it for 30 years of something?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Yeah. I've enjoyed it. It's been a great life.- That's great. OK.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Well, good luck on Music against Chris
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- and would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Jeremy.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Here we go.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17"Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh,
0:04:17 > 0:04:22"oh-no-no" are lyrics from which of these Beyonce songs?
0:04:26 > 0:04:32Not a great person on this sort of music, but I'm pretty certain...
0:04:34 > 0:04:37..it's Crazy In Love.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Would you have known that, Chris? - I would not.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I did not think so. Must learn that lyric sometime.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Crazy In Love is right. Well done.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49"Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh-no-no."
0:04:51 > 0:04:55That is actually lifted from a Shakespeare play, I think.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Trying to place it. Chris, your question.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Which girl group had a UK number one hit single with Black Magic
0:05:01 > 0:05:03in July 2015?
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- Well, Sugababes and All Saints are a bit passe these days.- Ooh!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15So, the one that was trending in '15 was Little Mix.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Oh, hello.- Ooh!- A number of surprises in that answer.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Firstly, that you said the word "Sugababes"
0:05:20 > 0:05:23without losing your temper. Secondly, the use of the word
0:05:23 > 0:05:25"trending" which we haven't had heard you use before.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28And thirdly, you got it completely right.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Well done, Little Mix.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33OK, back to you, Ian.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Isolde, Eva and Siegfried were the children of which composer?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Not good on classical.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I don't think Benjamin Britten was married.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Edward Elgar was English, but he had German connections.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'm going to go for Richard Wagner.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- Richard Wagner is the right answer. - Well done, Ian.- Nice one.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Chris, which of these composers lived during the 20th century?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Yeah, Puccini was still composing in the 1920s, so it's Puccini.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It is Puccini. Well done.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Didn't think that would catch you out.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23So, two each, after two questions.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Now, see if you can press the advantage here.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Ian, Communion is a chart-topping 2015 album by which British band?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39OK, I'm not wonderful on the modern era of bands.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42The only one I really know is Muse.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I'm going to go for Muse.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Well, they are operating.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It's Years & Years though.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Who are new and good.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Yeah, they had a number one album and a number one single in 2015.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- Do you like them, Chris?- Don't think I've ever heard them, Jeremy.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01No, they're good. You'd like... You could dance to them.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05They're good. OK, Chris, your question. For the round,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08the American Jeanne Baxtresser is best known
0:07:08 > 0:07:10for her expertise on which instrument?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15And if you get this right, you've got the round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Never heard of her.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I think if she was a pianist, I would have heard of her.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Likewise, a violinist.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29So, there's got to be an opening for a...flautist
0:07:29 > 0:07:33to step into the shoes of James Galway, so I'll say flute.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Amazing bit of logic and elimination there, but have you got it right?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39If not, we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41The correct answer is flute.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Well done.- Three out of three on music, Chris. Well done. Sorry, Ian.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45That's how they play, I'm afraid.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I don't know quite how you did that last one, Chris,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50but it has put you into the final. Ian has been knocked out.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Come back to us and rejoin your teams.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56So, Ian is out. The Bar Stool Ballers
0:07:56 > 0:07:59have lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00The Eggheads are still sitting there.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Although, after the last game,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I think you needed a bit of recovery time.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07The next subject is Sport. Who would like this?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- I think we might know.- It looks like I'll have to take it.- Good man.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Unless you... - No, it is going to be Simon.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16OK, Simon on Sport. In the middle there.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Which Egghead would you like to take on?- I think Judith.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Judith, cos it's her favourite subject.- Judith.- Judith.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- We don't want to let her down. - All right, seems like Judith.- Oh.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Oh, dear.- I heard that, "My favourite subject."
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Well, you won the last one. No, hang on. Sorry, you lost the last one.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Did I?- Well, I don't know.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35I really just forget about these things.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38We've got a new Eggheads mug here and deal is that if Judith
0:08:38 > 0:08:42wins a Sport round, it is filled with champagne and presented to her.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Wow.- OK?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48That's what... Goodness knows what happens if it actually occurs.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Anyway, Simon from the Bar Stool Ballers
0:08:51 > 0:08:53versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Looking to fill the mug with champagne, Judith.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Just focus on that. Which sort would you like it to be?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Louis Roederer.- Louis Roederer?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Cristal.- Ooh. - Oh.- Oh. That is...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07The stakes are high here. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09would you, please, take your positions?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13What is your sport, Simon?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Well, I've played stoolball, obviously,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20but I used to enjoy swimming a lot.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21I was quite competitive there.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24It's interesting that stoolball, we haven't heard of that,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Judith, at all.- Do you know, I think, ages ago,
0:09:27 > 0:09:28we had a question about it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33We, occasionally, have questions on very rare sports and I think we did.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Years and years ago.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37The key facts, just for the quizzers among us, Simon,
0:09:37 > 0:09:42are... It was milk maids, the bat was a stool and it's Sussex.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46That's right. It's very common to Sussex. It is a good family game.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49You know, husbands, wives, children,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52can all be a part of a team. It's a good summer evening sport.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Well, if it comes up in this round, that really will be extraordinary.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Let's see how we go against Judith,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00who is trying to fill my mug with champagne.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Would you like to go first or second, Simon?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03I'll go first, please.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Here we go with your first question.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Which of these bowlers play for the Australian cricket team,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14during the 2015 Ashes series?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Which of these bowlers played for the Australian cricket team,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24during the 2015 Ashes series?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Well, cricket...
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Hm. I'm not quite sure.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I'm going to go for Glenn McGrath.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Oh!- Oh, dear.- Oh, the Eggheads have made that rumble that I always
0:10:35 > 0:10:37describe as the Jaws soundtrack. Let's hear, Eggheads,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39what is the answer?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Mitchell Johnson.- Mitchell Johnson. - When you went, "Ooh..."
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Well, Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath played in the past.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- They're retired.- Both retired. - Yes. They both retired, Simon.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51So, it is Mitchell Johnson. OK, Judith, onto you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I'm just suddenly wondering where are going to get the champagne from.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Approximately how tall is the boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Approximately how tall is the boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I've never clapped eyes on him beyond photographs in a newspaper,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14which doesn't really show.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17But he is... I think he's a heavyweight, isn't he?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20So, he must be quite big.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- 6ft.- OK.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- He's five foot eight.- Oh, little thing.- Yes. A little thing.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Is he a lightweight or something? - I don't know. Dave knows.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33He has boxed at different weights but, yes, light welterweight.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Oh, is he? I thought he was a heavyweight.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Sorry, Judith. So, no score yet.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Back to you, Simon. In July 2015,
0:11:40 > 0:11:45the Colombian striker Radamel Falcao joined which football club in a
0:11:45 > 0:11:48one-year loan deal from Monaco?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Well, I'm pretty sure it's not Liverpool.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59And I'm... No, he's gone to Chelsea on loan.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02From Manchester United, that's right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Chelsea is the right answer.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07OK.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Judith, which of these sportsmen has won four Olympic gold medals?
0:12:15 > 0:12:20I thought all of them had. Perhaps some of them have won more.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Oh, Lordy.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27It could be Ben Ainslie. It could be James Cracknell.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It could be Chris Froome. Oh, deary me.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I think the champagne is receding.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- James Cracknell.- Crackers? - Yes, Crackers.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- No, it's Ben Ainslie.- Ben Ainslie. - Ben Ainslie.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45You started so well, Judith.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46I haven't started well, I've got two wrong.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Well, it started well, because Simon got one wrong.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Oh. Well, so did I.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Yes, you did. You've got two wrong now.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Simon, if you get this right, you are in the final round.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00And you spare Judith her third question, which will be appreciated.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03The Ryder Cup winning golfer Henrik Stenson
0:13:03 > 0:13:05was born in which country?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Henrik Stenson... Yes, they're both...
0:13:13 > 0:13:16All Scandinavian-type names.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I'm pretty sure it's not Iceland.
0:13:19 > 0:13:26There are a few, quite a few good Danish golfers around.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29So, it's between those two.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I'm going to say Sweden.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Eggheads, is he right?- He is indeed.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35You are right. You're in the final, well done, Simon.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Judith knocked out.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39No Cristal today, Judith, I'm afraid.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- No.- So sorry. Knocked you out on Sport.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Please come back to us, both of you
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and we'll see what happens in the next round.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51So, the Bar Stool Ballers have thrown a little bit of a googly
0:13:51 > 0:13:54at Judith, who missed it with her stool and she's been knocked out.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Now, it's level pegging as we go in to the next round and the subject is
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Science. Who would like this?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- I think that's got to be me. - OK, Jeff, retired police officer.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Who would you like to arrest? It can be Dave, CJ or Barry.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11It's a fairly level playing field, I think.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12- Whichever.- Not Barry.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Probably not Barry, no. The other two...
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Dave?- Dave? - Dave.- I would go for Dave.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21We think there are some big hitters for science, but we will take Dave.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23All right, he's a big hitter on his day.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Jeff from Bar Stool Ballers versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Eggheads on Science. Please, go to our special Question Room.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Jeff, I mentioned you were a retired policeman.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- That's correct.- Working in the Eastbourne area?
0:14:37 > 0:14:42- Well, Sussex, generally. - Uh-huh. What kind of area?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45The last job I did was as a controller working
0:14:45 > 0:14:47in a control room, giving out jobs, really.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Oh, so, you weren't running a taxi service or whatever.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51You're looking at what is being reported
0:14:51 > 0:14:53and you are assigning people?
0:14:53 > 0:14:57It was like a taxi service in downtown Sarajevo half the time.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Even in Eastbourne? - It had its moments.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02OK. I'm sure it did. Well, good luck against Dave.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05You're on Science. Jeff, would you like to go first or second?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I've thought about this for a long time and I'm going to go second.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15OK. Let's start with Dave then. Here is your question.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19The epidermis refers specifically to which part of a human body?
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- The skin.- The skin is the right answer.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Over to you, Jeff. Which of these animals are known as
0:15:29 > 0:15:30ships of the desert?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Without any doubt whatever, it is camels.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Camels is the right answer.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Good stuff. OK, Dave, in October 2003,
0:15:42 > 0:15:46who became the third country to send a man into space?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Can you repeat the question, please?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55In October 2003, who became the third country
0:15:55 > 0:15:58to send a man into space?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02I'm going to go... No certainty with it, but I'm going to go with China.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- It is China, Dave.- Hm.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Jeff, your question. Which of these is an old name
0:16:08 > 0:16:10for the chemical element sulphur?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Once again, I'm sure that is brimstone.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Yeah, as in fire and brimstone.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23- That's the one.- OK, brimstone is right.- Well done, Jeff.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Bit of Bible going on there, isn't there?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Is brimstone actually mentioned in the Bible?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29It most certainly is mentioned in the Bible.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- It's all that hell stuff, is it?- Yes.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Fool's gold, actually, is iron pyrites - which has sulphur in it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Oh, I see. And quicksilver is mercury.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Dave, your question.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46The German scientist August Kundt, born in 1839,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48is a famous name in which field?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Can you...? Ha!
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Can you spell it for me, please?
0:16:56 > 0:17:01August is like August and Kundt is K-U-N-D-T?
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Not heard of this person.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07Sorry, Barry has probably spoken to me about it and I don't know.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15I'm going to go biology, with no idea at all about what he's done.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17All right, well, we go to our science correspondent,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Barry Simmons.- There is an early form of cathode ray tube,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24which is called a Kundt's tube, so he's a physicist.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25- Physics.- OK.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Dave, physics. So, this looks good.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Jeff, here's your question.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34What does the E stand for in the space shuttle abbreviation ELV?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Could you repeat that question, please?
0:17:42 > 0:17:48What does the E stand for in the space shuttle abbreviation ELV?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I don't think it's energetic,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53because that doesn't make much sense.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Environmental, in space, I don't know.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Expendable.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I'm guessing it is expendable light vehicle, but I'm not sure.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Lunar.- Lunar vehicle. Expendable is the right answer.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Well done, Jeff. There we go.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Knocked out by a former policeman, Dave.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- I'm sorry.- The long arm of the law's grabbed me.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Exactly, jail in the final round for you and Jeff will be playing.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Please, come back to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Well, we had an ELV suddenly land on us then.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25The space shuttle's initials and it was expendable, was it lunar...?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I should correct. It is expendable launch vehicle.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Oh!- Yeah. - I was wrong. Thank you for that.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33"L" does not always stand for lunar.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35That's an important rule.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36As it stands, Bar Stool Ballers have
0:18:36 > 0:18:40lost a brain from the final round and the Eggheads have lost two.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Yay!- Yes!- All right.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47The next object is Art & Books. Who would like this?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- I think it's down to me. - I think it is.- Tim? OK.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52A retired tax inspector against...
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Against, against.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56You can have either CJ or Barry, so one of the book ends here.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Do you want to try and take Barry out, or...?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01- Yeah.- OK, Barry.- Barry.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Now, Barry has been showing off on Science today,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06so maybe his literary brain is asleep.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- I'm relying on it.- That's what we have to hope for.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12So, Tim from Bar Stool Ballers versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Please, go to the Question Room.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18OK, Arts & Books, Tim. Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:18 > 0:19:19I'll go first, please.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Here we go with your round. Good luck against Barry.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 begins with the words,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31"Shall I compare thee to a..." What?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'm glad to say the first one has come up and I actually know.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It is summer's day.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Summer's day is right. Well done.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42How does it go on, then?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day, Barry, are thou...?"
0:19:45 > 0:19:46"Thou art more fair and temperate.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48"Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May."
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- And so on.- And summer's lease...
0:19:51 > 0:19:53"Summer's lease hath all too short a....
0:19:53 > 0:19:55"rain," is it? Something like that.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I think the word, "lunar," is in there somewhere.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Here's your question. In George Orwell's book Animal Farm,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04which of these characters is a horse?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Snowball and Napoleon are both pigs.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- So, Boxer is the horse. - Boxer is the horse.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Well done. Tim, back to you.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Which of these artist was famous for his matchstick men paintings?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Well, both Hogarth and Constable were in earlier centuries
0:20:26 > 0:20:29and very famously, it is LS Lowry.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- LS Lowry is correct. - Well done, Tim.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Barry, what is the subtitle of Mary Shelley's 1880 novel Frankenstein?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Well, Prometheus, in Greek mythology,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52was the Titan who gave fire to make mankind.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Because of that, Mary Shelley entitled Frankenstein,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57"The Modern Prometheus."
0:20:57 > 0:21:01It is indeed, The Modern Prometheus. Well done. Much forgotten subtitle.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04So, equal after two questions.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Tim, let's see what you can do after three.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Who wrote the memoir Wild: A Journey From Lost To Found -
0:21:10 > 0:21:14which was turned into a Hollywood movies starring Reese Witherspoon?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Well, I have to confess, I have no idea on this one.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Not a strong area for me.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27It is going to be a guess and I'll see if I can make an informed guess.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I haven't heard of any of those three names.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I'm right-handed, I'm going to go down the right. Julie Powell.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Is he right, Barry? - I'm afraid I don't know.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- You don't know either.- No.- Any offers from the Challengers?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- No idea either. - Any offers from the Eggs?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I would've gone for Leigh Anne Tuohy but I don't know it.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Nobody knows, Tim. That's a consolation. You got it wrong.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48It's Cheryl Strayed.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51OK, Barry, if you get this right, you will have taken the round.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53If you get it wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:21:53 > 0:21:59Who succeeded Cecil Day Lewis as the UK's the Poet Laureate in 1972?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07'72, that's too early for Ted Hughes.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I should know this instantly.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I think it was John Betjeman.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Who wanted it friendly bombs to fall on Slough.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15"It isn't fit for humans now."
0:22:15 > 0:22:17John Betjeman is the right answer, Barry. Well done.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20You're playing well. Three out of three. The Eggheads
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- have pulled one back. Sorry, Tim. - Never mind.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- It was a tough question. - It does happen.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27You've been knocked out. You won't be in the final round.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30If you come back to us, gentlemen, we will play the final.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It is time for our final round which,
0:22:36 > 0:22:37as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I'm afraid those of you lost your head-to-heads
0:22:39 > 0:22:41won't be allowed to take part.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43So, that's Ian and Tim from Bar Stool Ballers
0:22:43 > 0:22:46and also Dave and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Would you, please, now leave the studio?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51OK, Jeff, Simon, Steve.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54You are playing to win Bar Stool Ballers £1,000.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I hope you win, because we loved hearing about your sport,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59which I don't think has come up before.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Eggheads, you're playing for something money can't really buy,
0:23:02 > 0:23:03which is your reputation.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07We mustn't mention the collapsible opera hat.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13This time, the questions are all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17So, Bar Stool Ballers, the question is,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20can your three brains defeat these three?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23They do look menacing, don't they? Would you like to first or second?
0:23:23 > 0:23:24We'll go first.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28So, here we go. General Knowledge,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30final round. Good luck. Playing for £1,000.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35In which year was sliced bread first sold commercially in the UK?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42OK, well...
0:23:42 > 0:23:44As it happens, I set a quiz a little while ago
0:23:44 > 0:23:46and I put this question in.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Did you?- Yes. - We'll let you answer this.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Maybe it's better if you go for it. - Hopefully, I've got the right one.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I think it's 1930. I think so. I think we're going to go for 1930.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I'm pleased say you're right. Yeah, you're right.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03You set it in a quiz yourself? Yes, brilliant. 1930.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Jeremy, we may not have known the collapsible opera hat's inventor,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10but the man who invented the slicing bread machine was a Mr Rohwedder.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Rohwedder? - Mm-hm.- OK. Very good.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Over to you, Eggheads.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Which of these countries has a coastline on the Caribbean Sea?
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- Belize.- We like Belize for that, don't we?- British Honduras.- Belize.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29We think that might be Belize, Jeremy.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32It might well be Belize. You're right. Belize it is. One each.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Back to you, Challengers.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Who became acting leader of the Labour Party
0:24:36 > 0:24:38in 2015 after Ed Miliband's resignation?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Over to you. - Harriet Harman.- Harriet Harman.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Harriet Harman. - Go with that.- OK, yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51We seem reasonably confident that Harriet Harman.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Harriet Harman is the right answer.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Back to you, Eggheads. On the back foot, maybe.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Simon Pegg appears in which of these 2015 blockbusters?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- He's a stalwart of the Mission: Impossible films.- Is he?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Yes. Plays Benji, I think his name is.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Yes.- He's been in your last few in the series,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19but it's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is correct.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Here's your third question.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Get this right, put them under some pressure.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28We saw what happened yesterday. They panicked. What is the approximate
0:25:28 > 0:25:30height of the Burj Khalifa -
0:25:30 > 0:25:32the world's tallest building when it opened in 2010?
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Well, I think it's got something to do with the weather system,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- hasn't it?- I'm trying to think of the question that we had in the...
0:25:48 > 0:25:53No, no. It's the one with the Washington Monument.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- That was 650, wasn't it? - Was that feet or metres?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm not... Erm...
0:25:59 > 0:26:07- I'm not sure.- Well, that 628 is only about 1,900 feet, isn't it?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08- That's quite tall.- Is it?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Half a mile. - What would you tend to go for?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Right down the middle. - Go down the middle?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- I honestly don't know. - What your instinct?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I don't know.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It could be as high as 828, but I haven't got an indication.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Go down the middle? - Go down the middle, man.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31We're not confident at all on this.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35So, I think we're going to rule out the lowest one.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39I think we are going to go down the middle with 628 metres.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42628 is your answer.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43This is gigantic.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Eggheads?- I would have gone for 428 metres.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51I thought it was the biggest, I thought nearly a kilometre high.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Yeah. It's even higher than you thought and Barry thought.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It is 828 metres.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Oh.- Wow.- It is still the tallest in the world,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00at two thirds of a mile tall.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04OK, Eggheads, you can win the contest with this answer.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Or we go to Sudden Death if you get it wrong.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11"Ours," is the French word for which of these animals?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Ours, O-U-R-S.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Bear.- It's got to be bear. - Bear.- It comes from ursus.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18- Mais, oui.- Bear.
0:27:18 > 0:27:25I think we are fairly confident, we hope, that it's a bear.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I won't hang about. You've got it right. It's a bit easier, this one,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30than the collapsible opera hat.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Bear is the right answer. Well done.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Eggheads, you're back on track.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36We say congratulations, you have won.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- That wretched third question. - Yes.- Anyway, there we go.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- Spectacular way to go out. - Yes.- Thank you for playing.
