0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads. Why do I even say "possibly"?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Definitely.- Definitely.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:40are the Palmy Army.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Now, this team of friends met through their tennis club
0:00:42 > 0:00:45and quiz weekly in the Liverpool Quiz League.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hello, I'm Paula and I'm a university lecturer.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm David and I'm a tennis coach.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm James, I'm a civil servant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Pete, I'm a retired chartered accountant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Roy, I'm a golf shop assistant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- So team, Paula, welcome. - Hello.- Good to see you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07The Liverpool Quiz League sounds blooming serious.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Well, we do take it very seriously.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11There's home and away games and it's every week
0:01:11 > 0:01:15and there are quite a lot of attempts to go up the league.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18And do you quiz together or against each other normally?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We're in a team, so we quiz against other teams.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23One week we'll be hosting a match
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and another week we'll go somewhere else.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Remind us why it's the Palmy Army.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- It's the Palmerston Tennis Club. - That's where you quiz?- Yes.- OK.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33So how many teams in the league, roughly?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37About 30 teams in the league and there's different divisions.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40We're in Division Two at the moment but we hope to do better.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42If you beat this lot, you definitely move up to Division One.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44We will sort that out for you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47What about that? Anyone played in the Liverpool Quiz League?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I play in the Ormskirk League, which is a sister league
0:01:49 > 0:01:53underneath the umbrella of the Merseyside Quiz Leagues.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54- Right.- I go to Liverpool occasionally
0:01:54 > 0:01:58and I play games in Liverpool pubs - cup games, things like that.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Yeah. So you've seen any of these lot?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02We've seen Pat before a couple of times.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04OK. Good luck.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Good luck to you. Ah, not good luck to you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Good luck to the Challengers. The Eggheads will do what they do.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:13 > 0:02:15for our Challengers but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Palmy Army, the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24so that means £3,000 is here for you to win today.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Who would like this? - We will quickly confer.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31I think, James, will you?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- I'm happy to take it. - We're nominating James.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37OK, James on Music, and which of these Eggs would you like?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Any one of the five, James.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40I'll take Chris, please.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43OK, James from Palmy Army versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And to ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:02:46 > 0:02:48in our special Question Room.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So we're going to do Music. James, do you want to go first or second?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I'll go first, please.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Here we go.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00The London-based season of orchestral concerts
0:03:00 > 0:03:03known as The Proms was started in which year?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Well, I'm not really too sure of the answer.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16I'd say 1975 was definitely too late for The Proms to have started.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I think 1715 may be too early.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I don't really know but I'll say 1895.
0:03:23 > 0:03:261895 is quite right. Good stuff.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29OK, Chris, your question.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Which song, recorded by Elvis Presley, starts,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34"Well, it's one for the money, two for the show,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37"three to get ready, now go, cat, go?"
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- AS ELVIS:- Don't you step on my blue suede shoes, baby.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Blue Suede Shoes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- AS ELVIS: Blue Suede Shoes is right. - Thank you very much.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48CHRIS CHUCKLES
0:03:48 > 0:03:50OK, James, your question.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Rhythm Nation 1814 is the name
0:03:53 > 0:03:56of a 1989 album by which singer?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02OK, well, I'm not familiar with the album.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Erm, if it was 1989, I'm going to rule out Shania Twain
0:04:06 > 0:04:09cos Shania Twain was a bit more of a '90s singer.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I think it's Madonna or Janet Jackson.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Because I've never heard of the album and I think if it was
0:04:15 > 0:04:19a Madonna album, I'd probably know it, I'm going to say Janet Jackson.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Very good, Janet Jackson it is. Great process of elimination there.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26So two to our Challenger. One to you, Chris.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Your question. Who had UK hit singles in 1967
0:04:29 > 0:04:33and 1999 with Music To Watch Girls By?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Oh, was it Tony Bennett or was it Andy Williams?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43It was Andy Williams.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46It was Andy Williams. Another point to you.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Two each. Third question to you, James.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Which instrument takes the form of a box with one loop antenna
0:04:53 > 0:04:56and one upright rod antenna?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Again, I've got absolutely no idea on this one.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Erm...
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It's going to have to be a complete guess.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Erm...
0:05:10 > 0:05:11I'll say gravikord.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Let's see if the Eggheads... What do you think?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- It's a theremin.- It's a theremin.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It's one of the few musical instruments you play
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- without actually touching it. - Oh, really? What do you do?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23You just move your hands up and down and that affects the signal
0:05:23 > 0:05:25and makes this weird sound that appears on all
0:05:25 > 0:05:26The Beach Boys records.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Theremin is the answer, James.- OK. - Sorry, it was a tough one.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Chris, if you get this right you're in the final.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34If not, we go to Sudden Death.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Equally Cursed And Blessed and Paper Scissors Stone
0:05:38 > 0:05:42were the third and fourth albums by which band?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Oh, did Sleeper and Elastica actually make four albums?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52On the basis that they had the larger output of the three,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I'll go for Catatonia.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Is he right, James? - He's right, yeah.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Yeah, that's Cerys's band - Cerys Matthews.- Cerys Matthews, yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Catatonia is the right answer.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04A little dart of genius from you there.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07You've got three in a row and you've taken the round.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Sorry, James, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Please return to us and we'll play on.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15OK, so a little bit of an early difficulty for Palmy Army
0:06:15 > 0:06:18cos you've lost a brain from the final round
0:06:18 > 0:06:19but it is still early days.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21The Eggheads are there intact.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Let's see what you can do about that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The next subject is Science. Who wants this?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Let's just discuss, who do we want to...?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Put Pete?- I'll have a go.- OK.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Yeah, I'm willing. - Pete's going to do it for us.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35OK, our retired chartered accountant on Science.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Against whom?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Erm...- Who looks lost in the lab?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I don't think any of the Eggheads is weak on Science, so...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44it's a bit of a lottery, really.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Erm, so I'll, er, I'll choose...
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- er, Pat.- OK.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Pete from Palmy Army versus Pat from the Eggheads on Science.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55To ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58would you please take your positions in our special Question Room.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02So, Science, Pete - would you like to go first or second?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I'll go first, please.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Here we go.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Which of these planets can be classified as a gas giant?
0:07:16 > 0:07:17That's Jupiter.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Yes, straight there, well done.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21First point to you. Pete, well done.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Pat, the capybara,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26the largest living rodent, is native to which continent?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I think they're actually bred for meat, occasionally,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35and it's in South America.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38South America is quite right.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40A storming start for you both.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Pete, your second question.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Which of these dinosaurs was a herbivore?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Now, I'm not positive...
0:07:53 > 0:07:55..but I will go for Iguanodon.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Yes, it is.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00My instinct took me there but I'm not sure why.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- No.- I suppose Iguana.- Instinct.- Yes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Lizardy thing. Eggheads, is that right?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09It was a large thing. It generally walked on its hind legs
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- and ate vegetation - trees.- OK.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13A little bit like you, CJ!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15BARRY CHUCKLES
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Pat, your question.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The Ferranti Mark 1, first introduced in 1951,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23is often said to be the world's first commercially available device
0:08:23 > 0:08:25of what kind?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Yeah, this was a trailblazing British company.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Basil Ferranti, I think, founded it. Erm...
0:08:36 > 0:08:39You still meet people who worked in Ferranti
0:08:39 > 0:08:42in various north-west locations and it was a computer.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Computer is correct.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47How much progress have we made since then?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Pete, your question.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50What was the first name of Mr Otis,
0:08:50 > 0:08:54the inventor who developed a safety device for lifts?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, I've heard of Mr Otis and his safety device,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05which made tall buildings possible,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07but, as to his first name,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I haven't a clue.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11So, I'll go to the left and say Elisha.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You're playing well!
0:09:13 > 0:09:17That's it, your team-mates agree. Elisha it is. Well done.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Three out of three, Pete, well done.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Pat to stay in.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24The coxal bone is a term used for bones found
0:09:24 > 0:09:26in which part of the body?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Er...
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I've a suspicion it's hip.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37I think "coxa" has got something to do with the hip, or the pelvis.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40The coccyx is the lower portion of the spine,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42just below the pelvis.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I think I'll have to go for hip.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Yes, coccyx, I guess, takes you there.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Hip is the right answer.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51So, after three questions, you are level.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- We go to Sudden Death. Pete. It gets a bit harder...- Oh, dear.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56..as I don't give you alternatives. PETE CHUCKLES
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Here's your question.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00In an alphabetical list of chemical elements,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02which element comes last?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I guess yttrium. Y, double-T.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11No, it's even later than that, actually. Pat, do you know?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- I think it's zirconium.- Zirconium.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Ah...- It begins with a Z.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I'm afraid you're wrong, So, Pat,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20if you get this right you've taken the round. If not, we play on.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Jonas Salk, who developed the first safe
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and effective vaccine for polio, was born in which country?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Well...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I could go wrong here.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32He's always spoken of as American.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35But, of course, such an enormous movement of people from
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Central Europe to America
0:10:37 > 0:10:41occurred around the middle of the 20th century, early 20th century.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43And so many people who you think of as American
0:10:43 > 0:10:45were born in Vienna. It's untrue.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48But I think I've always heard of him as being American
0:10:48 > 0:10:51so I don't think I've any choice, I'll have to say...
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I think he was born in the USA.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Mr Salk was born in the USA - you're right -
0:10:55 > 0:10:58and therefore you have taken the round, Pat,
0:10:58 > 0:10:59and knocked out Pete.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01So, Pete, I'm sorry about that.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- They do quiz hard, don't they?- Oh, aye.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- It's a tough proposition.- Yeah.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Very tough, but you're still in the game here. You could still win.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Please come back to us and we'll see what happens in the next round.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16So Palmy Army have lost two brains from the final round now.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18The Eggheads are still standing, all five of them.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20The next subject for you is Politics.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Now, who from the Palmy Army would like this?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Paula, Politics.- Yeah, I'll do it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28OK, Paula. Against which Egghead?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Who would you like? You can have Judith, Barry or CJ.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Right, we'll just have a quick confer. Who do you think?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- I think take Barry. - OK, Barry, please.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41So Paula from Palmy Army versus Barry from the Eggy army over here.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43To ensure there's no conferring,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49So, Politics, Paula - would you like to go first or second?
0:11:49 > 0:11:50I'll go first.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Here we go. In English,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59what name is given to the lower house of the French Parliament?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Oh... Erm...
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I'm not entirely sure about this one. Erm...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Now, I've heard of the French National Assembly.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So that's what I'm going to go with.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18I'm glad you did - it's right.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22National Assembly, Assemblee Nationale.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Barry, in 2015, who declared that they would build "a great, great
0:12:26 > 0:12:30"wall on our southern border" as part of their US presidential bid?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Oh, this can only be the imitable Donald Trump.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Donald Trump is the right answer.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Paula, at the 2015 General Election,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48how many seats were won by the Scottish National Party?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Well, it was a massive amount.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58They won just about everything and I think it was 56.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Out of how many, do you know?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I think it was out of 58 or 60.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Yeah, 59 actually, yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:0656 is right, well done.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Barry, on to you.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Who was the Labour Party leader when they fought a General Election
0:13:11 > 0:13:15with a manifesto described as "the longest suicide note in history"?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Oh, I'm pretty certain that was Michael Foot.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Michael Foot is right, Barry, well done.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25So, on to you, Paula. Which of these politicians was
0:13:25 > 0:13:2836 when he became leader of the Conservative Party?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35OK, well, Iain Duncan Smith was a bit older than that.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Erm...
0:13:37 > 0:13:39William Hague was young when he became leader
0:13:39 > 0:13:41but David Cameron was quite young too.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44But I think I'm going to go with William Hague.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46You're absolutely right. Well done -
0:13:46 > 0:13:49you've got three out of three there. William Hague it is.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51So let's see if Barry can catch up.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Which prime minister was quoted as saying,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56"Everybody likes flattery and when you come to royalty
0:13:56 > 0:13:58"you should lay it on with a trowel"?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Well, this prime minister certainly knew what he was talking about
0:14:05 > 0:14:09because he really did lay it on with a trowel to Queen Victoria
0:14:09 > 0:14:10and it was Disraeli.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12It was, indeed, Disraeli.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14So you're playing brilliantly here, both of you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Not a flicker of uncertainty so far.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Three questions each correct and, Paula, we now go to Sudden Death.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I don't give you alternatives.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27In which country was Terry Waite kidnapped in 1987?
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Lebanon.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Lebanon is quite right.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Barry...
0:14:31 > 0:14:36In the closely fought primaries, who was Barack Obama's main rival,
0:14:36 > 0:14:41whom he beat in June 2008 to win the Democratic nomination?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Barack Obama is a Democrat, so it would be...
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I'm looking for a Republican.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Oh, so it's not the person I'm thinking of. - HE CHUCKLES
0:14:50 > 0:14:52That's awkward.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Ah...
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I'm sure he was the Mormon candidate
0:14:57 > 0:15:01and his name is just escaping me for the moment.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Let me think.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07No, I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass -
0:15:07 > 0:15:09it just won't come. I'm sure he was the Mormon candidate.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- The Mormon candidate.- OK.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13So, are you passing?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- I'm passing, yes.- OK, I know the name you're searching for.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- The name you're searching for is Mitt Romney.- Ah, yes.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's not the right answer. We were talking here about the Democratic nomination,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23so it was Democrats against Democrats.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Oh, it wasn't Al Gore, was it?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Paula, do you know? - It's Hillary Clinton.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Of course, it's Hillary.- Oh, gosh!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31It's even more obvious than...
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Oh, Democrat!
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I missed out on that completely!
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- So, well done, Paula, you knew his answer, as well.- Thank you.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41You've won on Sudden Death. Congratulations, Paula.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Sorry, Barry, you're out of the contest.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Come back to us and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51As it stands, the Palmy Army are now pulling back.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53It's getting quite dramatic.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Two brains they've lost
0:15:54 > 0:15:56but the Eggheads have now lost a brain as well.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58The next subject for you is Sport.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Do you want to take Sport, Roy?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Yeah.- So Roy will do Sport.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Roy on Sport and... HE CHUCKLES
0:16:04 > 0:16:05..which Egghead?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07So it's CJ or Judith, isn't it?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Judith.- Judith?- Judith, yeah.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13The upside is you're getting a lot of practice on Sport.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15All right, so it's going to be Roy from the Challengers
0:16:15 > 0:16:17versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22So, Roy, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29And here is your question.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Which of these British sporting events
0:16:31 > 0:16:34traditionally takes place earliest in the year?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Wimbledon is the middle of the year.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I suspect Henley is around about the same time.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47The Grand National is run in April.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'll say the Grand National.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Grand National is the right answer. That's not an easy question, either.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Well done.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Judith, on to you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Which English Premier League football team plays their home
0:16:58 > 0:17:00matches at the Etihad Stadium?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Etihad... Erm... Well, it's not Chelsea.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I can't remember whether it's Arsenal or Manchester City.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I think it's Manchester City.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It is Manchester City.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Dave would have loved it if you'd got that wrong.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17As a Man U fan.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19OK, Roy, your question.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21At the start of his career, which Formula 1 driver
0:17:21 > 0:17:24changed his surname from Souto Maior
0:17:24 > 0:17:29so that his parents would not find out about his racing exploits?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Formula 1 is not a favourite of mine.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Erm...
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I don't think it would be Alain Prost.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'll say Nelson Piquet.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Nelson Piquet is the right answer.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Well done, Roy.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51OK, Judith, your question.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Which country did Switzerland defeat in the final to win
0:17:54 > 0:17:56the 2014 Davis Cup?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Erm...
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Who's good at tennis at the moment?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06USA is not that brilliant at tennis at the moment, is it?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Who plays for Argentina?
0:18:08 > 0:18:09I don't know... France.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Well done, Judith, you're right. France it is.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Roy, which cycling term
0:18:14 > 0:18:18refers to becoming exhausted as the body runs out of glycogen?
0:18:23 > 0:18:24I've not heard this before, Jeremy.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Erm...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It'd have to be a guess, I'm afraid.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I'll go with bonk.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Bonk is correct.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Very good.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Judith, to stay in. You're playing well so far.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42The winning car of the 2015 Le Mans 24 Hours race
0:18:42 > 0:18:46completed how many laps of the 8.5 mile circuit?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I'm trying to work out because you could work out...
0:18:55 > 0:18:57But I'm so bad at mental arithmetic.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01You could work out how many miles an hour they'd be doing.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Therefore, you'd know the laps.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08But I can't do the maths in my head.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Erm...
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I simply can't do the maths.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I think it's 195.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18195. Now I was trying to work this out in my head, as well.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Let's say he's going at 100 miles an hour...- Yes.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25In 24 hours he'd do 2,400 miles.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- And we're looking at an eight-mile circuit.- Yes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31So divide 240 miles by eight and you get 300.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Oh, dash it. So you do.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I think, therefore, he's going more than 100 miles an hour.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- It is, unbelievably, 395.- Yes.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- It doesn't even look right, does it? - No, that makes sense.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43But I just simply couldn't do the maths.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I was doing the same as you in my head.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48395 is the right answer. Easy for me because it's in front of me.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Judith, sorry about that, really genuinely sorry.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52You are out of the contest. Roy, you're in the final.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Well done, Roy.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Come back to us and we will play the final round!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It is time for the final round,
0:20:02 > 0:20:03which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:06 > 0:20:08won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11So that's James and Pete from Palmy Army,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13and Judith and Barry from the Eggheads.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Would you please now leave the studio.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Paula, David and Roy, you're playing to win Palmy Army £3,000.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26which is your own reputations.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34You can confer. So, Palmy Army, the question is,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38can your three brains defeat the Eggheads' three over here?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You don't need to answer that - just tell me
0:20:40 > 0:20:41if you want to go first or second.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44We've decided that we'd like to go first, please.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Here we go with your first question.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Grizzly bears are native to which continent?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58It's North America. Yeah, we're pretty sure it's North America.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00You get them round about Alaska and Canada
0:21:00 > 0:21:04and they're quite horrible, big, dangerous things, aren't they?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06North America is the right answer.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Over to you, Eggheads.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Denim is traditionally made from which fibre?
0:21:14 > 0:21:19- It's cotton, isn't it?- Yeah, it's a type of cotton.- Happy with that?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21We think denim is cotton.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Cotton is correct. Over to you, Challengers.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29What is the age difference between the actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and his film director wife Sam Taylor-Johnson?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I'm struggling here, I've never heard of either of them.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Haven't got a clue cos I haven't heard of them.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46On a question like this, you sort of expect it
0:21:46 > 0:21:49to be the shocking answer, but maybe that's a trick.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54- Let's do a Judith and go down the right.- Yeah, OK.- 23?- 23.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58We'll try 23, but I've never heard of either of them, unfortunately.
0:21:58 > 0:22:0023 years is the right answer.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Gosh!- Eggheads, over to you for your second question.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Which city is capital of the Italian region of Campania?
0:22:12 > 0:22:17- It's Naples. Rome is Lazio, Venice...- Naples.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Yeah, it has to be Naples. - Campania is Naples, yeah.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25After some consideration, we're going to plump for Naples, Jeremy.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Naples is correct so we're level-pegging here.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Third question -
0:22:29 > 0:22:31good luck, Challengers. It can be crucial.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36The foreign intelligence agency known as the ISI
0:22:36 > 0:22:39was formed by which country in 1948?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- France is...- The one I was expecting to come up hasn't come up.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Which was?- I was expecting it to be an Israeli one.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- Pakistan was formed in 1948. - Pakistan was formed then, yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Wasn't the People's Republic of China declared in 1948 as well?
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- I don't know. But the I could stand for Islamic.- Islamic?
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- I think the I could be that. - OK, Pakistan, please.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Pakistan is correct. Three out of three. We go to the Eggheads now.
0:23:12 > 0:23:19Which actress was awarded her first Oscar in 1934 and her last in 1982?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Katharine Hepburn won for On Golden Pond. She won four.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- She's a promising candidate. - Yeah, not Bette Davis.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Not Bette Davis, no.- Jessica Tandy only won one, I believe,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35for Driving Miss Daisy. I don't think she's won more than one.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37It's got to be Katharine Hepburn.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Let's see - Katharine Hepburn had Woman Of The Year
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- or Lion In Winter. - Yeah, she won four.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44'34 and '82 - it's an enormous gap.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46That sounds right for Hepburn, doesn't it,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- cos her last Oscar was On Golden Pond.- Yeah, she was an old woman.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52And I think the film was released in 1981
0:23:52 > 0:23:55so '82 sounds right for the Oscars.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Jessica Tandy, I think, won for Driving Miss Daisy,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59which was 1990, anyway, so it's too late.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02And Bette Davis's career was in the '30s and '40s.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05It was gone by then, yeah, so it has to be Katharine Hepburn.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08We think that is Katharine Hepburn.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I'm interested, you say Bette Davis and I say "Betty" Davis.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- She told me it was Bette. - She said it was Bette? OK.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16It's not the right answer - Katharine Hepburn is correct.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Well done. So, three points each - we go to Sudden Death.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20It's very tight here.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Three of you in each team and Sudden Death and it gets a bit harder -
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- we don't give you alternative answers.- OK.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28In the periodic table,
0:24:28 > 0:24:32which silvery metallic element has the chemical symbol Cs?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Cs...- Caesium, isn't it?- Caesium, isn't it?- OK.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37We think it's caesium.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Caesium is quite right.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Sudden Death. You're playing well, Challengers. Back to the Eggheads.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45The newspaper magnate Lord Beaverbrook
0:24:45 > 0:24:48was born in 1879 in which country?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Definitely Canada? - Yeah, he was Canadian, yeah.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Yeah, I think he's Canadian. - OK, we think he was born in Canada.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Canada is right. We're Sudden Death,
0:24:58 > 0:24:59we're back to you.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Which Scottish town has been nicknamed the Queen of the South,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04a name that is carried on by the town's football team?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- It's Dumfries. I'm pretty sure it's Dumfries.- Go with it.- Dumfries.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Dumfries is right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12It was a local poet, David Dunbar,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14who christened it Queen of the South.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19OK, Eggheads, you're up against it here. They're cracking away at you.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22The resort area known as the Borscht Belt,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25where many American stand-up comics have learned their trade,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28is a feature of which branch of the Appalachian Mountains?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Probably the Catskills.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34It's the iconic thing, they all go up to the Catskills.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Do we want to have just a little mull on this? Any other options?
0:25:38 > 0:25:42I think Dirty Dancing, Kellerman's is in the Catskills.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47There are a whole set of these resorts favoured by New York...
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well, all sorts of New Yorkers, but certainly New York Jewish people.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Well, Borscht does seem to suggest Jewish people.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56And that's, I think, central Europe.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- I can live with the Catskills. - Catskills, yeah?- Catskills.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05Erm, not entirely sure on this, but we're going to go for the Catskills.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06The Catskills is correct.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08OK, Challengers,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Sudden Death - your question. In 1994,
0:26:10 > 0:26:15who became the editor of the News Of The World at the age of 28?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Piers Morgan?- No. No, it wasn't.
0:26:19 > 0:26:26It was either Rebekah Brooks or it was... So, more than ten years ago.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Rebekah Brooks is about mid-40s now.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31What's the name of the one that used to work for Cameron that...
0:26:31 > 0:26:37- Coulson. Andy Coulson.- Andy Coulson. At the age of 28...
