0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against
0:00:27 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Here they are - the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34So, taking on our awesome quiz champions today are Cardiac Attackers.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Now, this team of friends are all supporters
0:00:37 > 0:00:43of a cardiac rehabilitation charity based in Aberdeenshire. Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Hello, my name's Craig, and I'm a maintenance engineer in the oil and gas industry.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm John, and I'm a retired academic accountant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Derek, and I'm a retired Baptist minister.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Angus, and I'm writer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Bill, I'm an electrical team leader.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04So, Craig and team, welcome.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Great to see you. It's a cardiac charity. Tell us about it, Craig.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Yes, basically, anybody in Aberdeenshire that's had any
0:01:11 > 0:01:14particular heart-related issues,
0:01:14 > 0:01:21the charity provides supported and supervised exercise classes to
0:01:21 > 0:01:24continue the rehabilitation process.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29We run 33 classes in the Aberdeenshire region and we have about 600 members.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And this is, interestingly,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35all about trying to prevent heart attacks as well, isn't it?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Yes. It can be people that's not necessarily had a heart attack,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42but had some bypass, angina, any related heart issues,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45not necessarily a serious heart attack,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50something like that, and once they've finished their first, erm,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52supported treatment within the NHS,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55then they come to the charity and the charity provides
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- the exercise classes.- Is quizzing good for the heart?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Yes, I think so, absolutely.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Cos I know you've quizzed a bit.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Yep.- You certainly know you're alive when you're quizzing.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08It's funny, one of the quizzes we do, you'd think it would be nice and healthy,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11but we actually hold it in the restaurant of a
0:02:11 > 0:02:14famous fish and chip shop in Aberdeen, believe it or not.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Now, that may be a problem.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Fish and chips, I always think they're not so bad for you, are they?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Who's a fish and chipper here?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Well, yeah, it's a classic, isn't it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Kevin and Chris and Barry, yeah?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27- Definitely.- OK.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Judith and CJ, not so much.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31No, they give me indigestion.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34All right, we can draw our own conclusions from that.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Every day, there is...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Now, Cardiac Attackers, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50which means £2,000 is up for you to win today.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52So, you want to give it a go?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54We're all ready.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56The first head-to-head battle is on Sport.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Who would like Sport?
0:02:58 > 0:02:59- OK.- That's good, isn't it?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- That's a good start.- Good start.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Everybody happy? I'll give it a go, yeah?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Yep.- Myself.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08OK, it's going to be the team captain from Cardiac Attackers.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Lead from the front. - Against which Egghead?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Who would you like to take on?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Whatever one it'll be, it'll be a pleasure. We'll go with ladies first.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- We'll go with Judith.- Ah...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19It may not be a pleasure.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21LAUGHTER
0:03:21 > 0:03:24No, I feel I've been targeted.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Well, not so, but we've got a little thing with Judith.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28We've got a new mug, it's got nothing in it
0:03:28 > 0:03:30and if Judith wins a Sport round,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32it's going to be filled with her favourite champagne.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37It's a little bit dry at the moment, but we'll see.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Craig from Cardiac Attackers versus Judith from the Eggheads on Sport,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43and just to ensure there's no conferring...
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Don't worry, it's going to be fine, Judith!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Please go to the Question Room.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51So, Craig, Sport against Judith, her favourite subject.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Good luck. Paula Radcliffe has broken the world record
0:04:01 > 0:04:03in which of these athletics events?
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Well, Paula Radcliffe was more a distance runner than anything else.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I think I can rule out the 400-metre hurdles
0:04:18 > 0:04:20and I don't remember the mile being her distance
0:04:20 > 0:04:22so I'll go with the marathon.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Marathon is quite right.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27OK, Judith,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31which of these sports was contested at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh, I see what you mean.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39That's tennis.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Because who won?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Er, Roger.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Roger? Roger the Dodger?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Roger Federer.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Wasn't it Andy Murray?- Oh, was it?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I just had a memory it was London...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52That's right, then he...
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Yes, no, it was Andy Murray.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Yes.- Yep.- Not Roger Murray.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Sorry, Scotland.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I hardly dare go back in the studio now.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02No, you mustn't. You must leave Scotland through the back door.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09OK, Craig, in which country was the 1970 football World Cup held?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11So, it's 1970.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I don't remember it, I was only four at the time,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20but I can still remember those fantastic colour pictures
0:05:20 > 0:05:23of Brazil playing Italy in the final.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26That was down the right again on Mexico.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Yes, it is Mexico.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30That was the first colour final, was it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- I think it was, yeah.- Yeah, maybe it was, how interesting! Good fact.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Judith, your question to catch up.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Which golfer won the 2015 Open
0:05:38 > 0:05:42after a play-off with Marc Leishman and Louis Oosthuizen?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48I think I do know this.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51It was Zach Johnson.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Yes, it was Zach Johnson.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Is that from watching the game or just a headline?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well, yes, I did watch a bit of the Open, yeah.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Good. So we've got another bit of sporting strength there.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Craig, your question, for three in a row.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09The Welsh Rugby Union international Sam Warburton usually plays
0:06:09 > 0:06:11in which position?
0:06:15 > 0:06:16I feel a bit of a lucky boy here.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I played rugby for 10 or 12 years.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21He's not a full-back.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24He could be a hooker because he's bigger than a lot of players
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I've played with but, er, my position - flanker.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33And you were a captain of Granite City Rugby Club, weren't you, at 22?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36That's right, yes, a few years ago now, I must admit.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I didn't have grey hair then. In fact, I had a lot of hair then, but,
0:06:39 > 0:06:40yep, good days.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Good days. Well, good answer as well - flanker is correct.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Three out of three. So, Judith,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47you need to get this one right to stay in Sport.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Which team defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 NBA finals?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02This I haven't read, so this is a pure guess.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'm going to say Los Angeles Lakers.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Let's check with the Eggheads, see if you're right here and staying in.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Is Judith staying in, Eggs?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- No.- No.- Golden State.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- What's the answer? - Golden State Warriors.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- "Golden State Warriors," says Kevin. - Oh...
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I'm sorry, Judith, Sport has done it again.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Oh, no champagne!- No champagne.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27The mug remains bone dry, really.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Come back to us. We'll fill it one day.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Come back to us, Judith and Craig, and we'll play the next round.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37So, as it stands, Cardiac Attackers have not lost any brains from the
0:07:37 > 0:07:40final round. The Eggheads have suffered an early dent
0:07:40 > 0:07:43and lost a strong player. The next subject is Film & TV.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Now, who would like this? Who watches a lot?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I think we've got a few TV addicts here.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I'll do it if nobody else wants to, but I'd prefer to wait for Music,
0:07:53 > 0:07:58but I'll do Film & TV if you want, unless anyone else particularly wants to do Music.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59You do it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02We might need an arty/booky/history type person.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- If you don't mind, Bill?- Yeah, I'll do it, I'll take it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Bill's going for it.- OK, Bill is going for Film & TV.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Which Egghead? It can't be Judith.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'd like to take on Chris, please.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12OK, very decisive.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Bill from Cardiac Attackers versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The heart versus the egg. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27So, you keep very fit, don't you, Bill, with your squash?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I try to. I still manage to rumble around a squash court three
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- times a week at least. - Three times a week!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34At the age of, may I ask?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I couldn't possibly say. 56.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38OK, cos I was told don't play squash...
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I know you guys are all interested in cardiac.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I was told don't play squash after 40
0:08:43 > 0:08:46unless you're playing at least once a week. Do you think that's good advice?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I think you've got to keep playing.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's definitely harder if you get injured to come back now,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54but we do have one member at the club who's 72 and he still plays.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It is explosive exercise, squash, isn't it?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59When you've been on the court for an hour, the next day,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- you really feel it.- You do feel the benefit, definitely.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Benefit, did you say?- Yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Yes, you're right. I'm sure you're right.- I hope!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Keep going with your three games a week, you'll live to be 100.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13OK, you're against Chris.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16It's not about squash, this one, it's about Film & TV.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Would you like to go first or second, Bill?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19I'd like to go first, please.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Here we go. Which film won the Best Picture Oscar in February 2015?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I don't think it was The Grand Budapest Hotel, that was earlier.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40The other two, I really don't know.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Erm, I'll go with Birdman, please, Jeremy.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Birdman is correct.- Well done!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Chris, your question. The TV comedy Dad's Army
0:09:51 > 0:09:53is set during which conflict?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I'd like to see Lance Corporal Jones in the Vietnam War, yeah,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01but it was World War II.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02It was World War II.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07OK, Bill, which character is played by Alan Fletcher in the long-running
0:10:07 > 0:10:09TV soap Neighbours?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Again, I have no real idea with this one at all.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I'll go with Lou Carpenter, please.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- You're wrong, I'm afraid, Bill, it's Karl Kennedy.- OK.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Chris, your question.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30A sequel to which of these Mark Wahlberg films was released in 2015?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Released in 2015?- Yeah.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Oh, that was Ted 2, so it's Ted.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Yeah, it was Ted 2. Is it a bear at the centre?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Yeah, it's a foul-mouthed teddy bear, yeah.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47OK, Ted is the answer.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50So, Chris has pulled into the lead, Bill.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- OK.- Which means, no easy way to put this,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57if you do not get this question right, you are a goner.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01In which decade did Clint Eastwood make his feature film acting debut?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I think the '40s is too early.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'll go with the 1950s, please, Jeremy.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Yeah, it would be easy to go wrong there, but you're absolutely right.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Well done, 1950s it is.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Thank you.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Chris, your question.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25You can take the round with this. If you get it wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Which comedian plays Godfrey Watson in the third series
0:11:29 > 0:11:31of the BBC Lottery drama, The Syndicate?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37The Syndicate is...
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Lenny Henry.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I watched all of this and really enjoyed it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I thought it was a great drama, and the first series as well.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Lenny Henry's quite right. He's brilliant in that role.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Chris, well done, three out of three. Sorry, Bill.- OK, thank you.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53There we go, knocked out.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Our squash player is not in the final round, Chris is.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Return to us, please, and we'll play on.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04So, as it stands, Cardiac Attackers have lost one brain
0:12:04 > 0:12:06from the final round. The Eggheads have just lost the one.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10The next subject for you, third subject, now, is Politics.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11So, who would like this,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Politics?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15We kind of worked that out.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19We were either going to throw Derek at Politics or History.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21So are you happy to have a go at Politics?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I'll have a go! Right.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- It's going to be Derek. - Before you go, Derek,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27choose an Egghead to go against.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Our retired Baptist minister.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Barry?- Yep. Go Barry.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33We'll go with Barry.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35All right, how do you fancy that, Barry?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- You're taking on a retired minister. - I like politics, I enjoy it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42OK, Derek from Cardiac Attackers versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Let's see how we do here.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Derek, would you like to go first, or second on Politics?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I think I'd like to go first.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00OK, Derek. To the nearest year,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03how long was Gerald Ford President of the USA?
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Well, certainly more than two years and he didn't serve two full terms
0:13:11 > 0:13:14so I'll go for five years.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Actually, that's wrong because it was an odd one.
0:13:17 > 0:13:24He came in after Nixon went, and so that was '74 and then re-election
0:13:24 > 0:13:28'76 went to Carter, so am I right on my numbers here?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30So, it was only two years, Derek, actually.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32It was very, very short for Gerald Ford.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35He famously couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time, they said.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Barry, which of these politicians was held
0:13:39 > 0:13:41as a prisoner of war in Vietnam?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Yes, Donald Trump famously slated one of these people
0:13:49 > 0:13:51for being captured in Vietnam, didn't he?
0:13:51 > 0:13:56And it was John McCain who, remarkably,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59because his father was quite high up in
0:13:59 > 0:14:01the American forces,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04was offered an early release and I think he refused to take it
0:14:04 > 0:14:07because he wanted to serve the same as the men with him.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10And John McCain... The Hanoi Hilton, they called it.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12John McCain is right.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14OK, back to you, Derek, Politics we're on.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Which of these countries is a member of the Group of Seven,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21the intergovernmental organisation known commonly as the G7?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I don't think it's China.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- I think it's Canada. - Yes, it is Canada.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35That's more tricky than it looks, that question, well done.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Barry, the MP Jeremy Corbyn is a member of which political party?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Jeremy Corbyn is the MP for Islington North
0:14:46 > 0:14:49and I believe he's a member of the Labour Party.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51He is a member of the Labour Party.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Derek, your question.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Which British Prime Minister died in the 1980s?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I think it was not Alec Douglas-Home
0:15:06 > 0:15:08or Anthony Eden. I think it was Harold Macmillan.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12It was Harold Macmillan, yes, because I've got a memory of him
0:15:12 > 0:15:15being photographed with Mrs Thatcher while she was Prime Minister,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19but he was very, very frail at the time. Harold Macmillan, well done.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21So, you're equal, but, Barry, you have a question in hand.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23If you get this right, you're in the final.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25If not, we go to Sudden Death.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Fraser Nelson took over from Matthew d'Ancona
0:15:28 > 0:15:32as editor of which political magazine in 2009?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It certainly wasn't Private Eye so we can discount that.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Left or right?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45It's quite a choice, actually.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Spectator.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Is he right, Derek?- Yes.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Yes, you are right, Barry, well done, three out of three.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Strong play! Sorry, Derek, the first, the Jimmy Carter,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58that beastly Jimmy Carter question cost you there.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Never mind. You've been knocked out, Barry will be in the final.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Come back to us. We'll play another round.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08So, Cardiac Attackers have lost another brain from the final round,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11lost two now. The Eggheads have just lost the one.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Let's see if you can level it up before we play the final, Cardiacs,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17and the subject is Geography. Who would like this?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I'll have a go at Geography.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- OK, it's going to be John.- Our pre-plan was John on Geography.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28We'll keep Mr Watson for the final blast.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29THEY CHUCKLE
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- So, John?- John it is, yeah.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34And I know you like to travel, you've been in Dallas.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Who would you like to play against? - Oh, CJ.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38He's our own JR.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45John from Cardiac Attackers versus CJ from the Eggheads,
0:16:45 > 0:16:46please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52CJ, Geography - where is your next big trip?
0:16:52 > 0:16:53I haven't got any big ones planned,
0:16:53 > 0:16:58but maybe at the end of 2016 on Barry's recommendation,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I would love to go to Japan.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Oh, right, we're all getting hooked on Japan through Barry.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05What's he promised you if you go?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Erm...- Mountains?
0:17:07 > 0:17:08No, a bribe if I don't come back.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Well, I feel the same way.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Barry got there first and he's gradually spread the word.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Have you been to Japan, John?- No.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19But you've been, I mentioned Dallas.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Yes, lived there for six months.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- How was that?- Funny.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I mean, funny strange rather than funny amusing.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30We lived in an area where they had built a church and a supermarket,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34but hadn't got the houses yet, and the houses were slowly coming along,
0:17:34 > 0:17:39but they knew what mattered most - a church and a supermarket.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41That's good! Good luck against CJ, John.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Thank you.- Would you like to go first or second on Geography?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'll go first, please.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51So, here is your first question.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Brisbane is a city situated on which coast of Australia?
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Well, I do actually know this one - east.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04It is, indeed, east.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08CJ, which of these countries
0:18:08 > 0:18:10is the largest by area?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Hmm, not Argentina.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Well, that's interesting.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Cos you only ever see these maps on the Mercator projections
0:18:27 > 0:18:29which massively skews how big these places are.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I mean, Brazil is enormous.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39And India, despite its population, is smaller than you'd think.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47I've got a feeling Brazil's actually the world's fifth-largest country
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and I don't think India competes against it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I'm not absolutely sure, but I'm going for Brazil.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Well done, you've got it right. Brazil is the biggest by area.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Any stats for us, guys?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Any Eggs tell us?- No.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03How much bigger than... Is it bigger than the USA? No.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07No, no, no, no, but it's a fair bit bigger than India, I think.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08- Bigger than India?- Yeah.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- And population?- Well, what would it be these days?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- 200?- Yeah, more than 200 million, yeah.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19OK. Been there, John?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20No.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Here's your question. Which three colours feature on the national flag
0:19:23 > 0:19:25of Ivory Coast?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I don't know this one.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I should have seen it on sporting occasions.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I'm going to guess that it's black, green and red.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48It's not, I'm afraid. It's orange, white and green.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I'm trying to remember if it has got a crest in the middle.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Has it, or just three lines?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Stripes.- Three stripes - orange, white and green.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- Oh, well.- Don't worry, John, still equal.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00We go back to CJ.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04The Clifton Suspension Bridge spans which British river?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I'm going to enjoy this feeling for a moment.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I think I'm about to get a British geography question right.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14No, I'm sure you're not.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18As I live about 15 miles from the Clifton Suspension Bridge,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I hope I actually know this!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Well, I live in southeast Wales and the only one of those rivers
0:20:24 > 0:20:27that's anywhere near southeast Wales is the Avon.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31You would normally say the Mersey to a question like that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34If I didn't live that close to it, I might have done so.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Avon is right. John, you need to get this...- I know.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39..correct to stay in.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Yep.- What is the official currency of the Maldives?
0:20:48 > 0:20:53I know the Avon, but this, I'm afraid, is another guess.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Dobra, ariary...
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I can't think of any reason for it being any of those
0:21:00 > 0:21:02so let's say it's the rufiyaa.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Well, you've done very well there. It is the rufiyaa, well done.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Currencies are the bane of our lives here in Quizland.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's so hard to get a handle on.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Is there any of you Eggs who know all the world's currencies?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Barry was trying, weren't you? - Kevin has.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I've had attempts at it in the past, but I wouldn't...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23It's really hard. Would anyone do the dobra for us?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Where's that? - It's Sao Tome and Principe.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Sao Tome and Principe.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Yeah.- Shall we just pause and reflect on the fact
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- that Kevin knows that? - I think that's what it is.- OK.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36And ariary, CJ, do you know ariary?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Not a clue.- Kevin?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Madagascar.- Madagascar. There we go.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44If you get this right, CJ, you're in the final round,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47John will be knocked out. If not, we have Sudden Death.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49The capital city of which of these African countries
0:21:49 > 0:21:53was named after the US President James Monroe?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Yeah, it became
0:22:00 > 0:22:05a sort of safe haven for freed slaves, hence the name of Liberia.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Liberia. And what is the capital called?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- Monrovia.- Monrovia is quite right, Liberia is the right answer.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15CJ, well done, you got three out of three on Geography,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- which doesn't always happen. John, sorry.- All right.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22There we are, and if you come back to us, gentlemen,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24we will play the final round.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30it is time for the final round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:22:35 > 0:22:36to take part in this round.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40So that is John and Derek and Bill from the Cardiac Attackers,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43but also Judith... Sorry, Judith, from the Eggheads.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Would you please leave the studio?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Craig, Angus, you're playing to win Cardiac Attackers £2,000.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy, which is your restored reputation.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02This time, the questions are all General Knowledge. You are allowed to confer.
0:23:02 > 0:23:09So, Cardiac Attackers, the question is are your two brains able to take down these four famous
0:23:09 > 0:23:12ones over here? Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13We'll go first.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Good luck, both of you.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22The Twits is a children's book by which author?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I think it's Roald Dahl, isn't it?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I would have thought more, maybe...
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I know David Walliams has written books,
0:23:36 > 0:23:40but it doesn't sound like the kind of...
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Just the nuance of Roald Dahl,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- I think...- What? Roald Dahl. - I think so, yeah.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49We're going to choose Roald Dahl.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Roald Dahl is the right answer.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Eggheads, over to you for your first question.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Which Bank of England banknote features images of HMS Beagle
0:23:57 > 0:23:58and a hummingbird?
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Charles Darwin's on the ten, isn't he?- Yeah.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08So the £10. Are you OK? Yeah?
0:24:09 > 0:24:14That's because of the Charles Darwin connection, and he's on the £10.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Right. What's the Charles Darwin connection with HMS Beagle?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20That was the vessel that he travelled on in his famous voyage.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- And the hummingbird? - Well, he'd obviously studied various
0:24:24 > 0:24:26creatures during the course of his journeys
0:24:26 > 0:24:29and hummingbirds were one of the things that he looked at.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32£10 is correct. Second question, Challengers.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36What was the full first name of the gangster Al Capone?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I don't know that one.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46A stab in the dark, I think.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I think we can rule out Albert
0:24:48 > 0:24:51and, with the Italian connection,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Alfredo or Alphonse...
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Well, what fond mother would call her son Alphonse?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I don't know.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Alfredo's a bit more gangstery, I guess.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- You would like...- Go with Alfredo?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Are you happy with that? - Right, yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12We'll have a stab in the dark - Alfredo.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Alfredo, yes, it does more Italian.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Alphonse sounds more French.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19American gangster, of course.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Eggheads, do you know? ALL:- Alphonse.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24It's one of those quizzy things - Alphonse.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I always think of hairdressers when I think of Alphonse.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Why is that?- You wouldn't want to have said that to Al Capone.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I wouldn't have said that to Al Capone, unless he was safely behind bars.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It depends what mood he was in. He could take a joke, Al Capone,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40but you didn't want to get on his wrong side.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44I'm sure! OK, your question, Eggheads, to take the lead.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Which 1949 Ealing film comedy was released in the US
0:25:48 > 0:25:51under the title Tight Little Island?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Whisky Galore.- It was Whisky Galore, wasn't it?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Compton Mackenzie, '49.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02That is Whisky Galore.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Whisky Galore is correct, so they have,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07unfortunately, taken the lead
0:26:07 > 0:26:09and they're close now to ending the contest.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11You must get this one right.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Which of these England players retired from international cricket
0:26:14 > 0:26:16in May 2015?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Ian Bell's still playing.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30I think Graeme Swann, who's a spinner,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33was a bit before that
0:26:33 > 0:26:36and Jonathan Trott, am I thinking he...
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Opening bat, came back from a couple of tours with a few problems...
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I think it's Jonathan Trott, I really do.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Right, we think it's Jonathan Trott.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Jonathan Trott is the right answer, well done.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51So, two out of three you've got.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53We move to the Eggheads now
0:26:53 > 0:26:56for your third question and, because they got one wrong,
0:26:56 > 0:26:57you can win it with this.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02What is the age difference between Stephen Fry
0:27:02 > 0:27:04and his husband Elliott Spencer?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- It's quite a lot, isn't it? - Yeah, it's 30.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Elliott's only about 21, 22.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17No, sorry, Elliott's only in his 20s
0:27:17 > 0:27:19and Stephen's in his 50s.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22He's not going to be exactly ten years younger than him.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27Yeah, it's 30 cos I remember them tweeting about it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Elliott's an actor, but he's only in his mid-20s.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34He's not 30 years old.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Anyway, it's 30 - 30 years.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Stephen Fry and his husband Elliott Spencer,
0:27:41 > 0:27:42I asked about the age difference.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45If you've got this wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47If you've got it right, the contest is over. Do you happen to know?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50We think it's 30 years.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52The age gap is as big as that.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Thank you, Eggheads, you've got it right.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Well done, CJ, especially.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59The answer is 30 years and we say congratulations,
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Eggheads, you have won!
0:28:07 > 0:28:10There we go. I'm sorry about that.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Blinking Al Capone!
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Al Capone, of all the people!
0:28:14 > 0:28:17As if he hadn't done enough wrong in the world.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Commiserations, Cardiac Attackers,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
