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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34And how are we today?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Feeling good.- Bloodthirsty.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- Bloodthirsty? OK.- Ooh.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Well, you've picked a fearsome team to take on,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43because the opponents today are
0:00:43 > 0:00:46the Caledonian Crushers from Glasgow.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Now, this team of friends are all
0:00:48 > 0:00:50members of a wheelchair rugby team
0:00:50 > 0:00:53and they train every Tuesday. Let us meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Donald and I'm a part-time maths student.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm David and I'm an IT recruitment consultant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Debra and I'm a digital artist.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Johnny and I'm a quantity surveyor.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Ciaran and I'm a neuroscience student.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10So, team, Donald, welcome.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Good to see you.- Yeah, and you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15So, I gather that the wheelchair rugby has four people in a team,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- is that right?- Yes, yes,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20on the court at one time and substitutes, yeah.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22So we've got two attackers, two defenders here?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25We have got one...
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Yes, yes. Two out of two defenders.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34The slower members of the team, like myself, are the defenders,
0:01:34 > 0:01:39and the pretty boys, the fast ones, they are the attackers, yes.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And one other, who is the team mechanic.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Yes. I'm the team mechanic. Yup.- OK.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- I get them on the courts. - And how often do you play?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47We play...
0:01:47 > 0:01:49We train once a week, though we're up and down
0:01:49 > 0:01:54all over the country, playing league and tournament games competitively,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57which are so much fun.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59That's just when it really comes out.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I just absolutely love it and all the guys do,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06when the blood's up and you just get stuck right in there.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- You know? - And is it an Olympic sport?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I know it was going to be called murderball.- Yes.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Yeah, yeah, it's an Olympic sport, yeah.- Yeah.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16They were... It was in the 2012 games and...
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Yeah, but they didn't like the name "murderball", did they?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21No, it doesn't sit very well. No.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Well, you can play murderball here, it's fine, against this lot.- Yeah.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26- Good luck, team.- Thank you.- Cheers.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Every day there is £1,000-worth of cash
0:02:28 > 0:02:29up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35So, Caledonian Crushers,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40which means there is £4,000 for you to win today.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Shall we get cracking?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Let's do it.- Let's go for it. - Yeah. Yeah.- Good stuff.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Now, who would like this?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Well, I think that's me.- Yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52OK, Donald, team captain, and against which Egghead?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Any one of the five, Donald. - Well, I think Chris.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58What do you think? Was that the plan? Chris, do you think?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- On you go.- Yeah. Chris, it's you and me.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- OK, Donald.- And we've got an Eggheads viewer down the end. OK.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08So it is Donald from the Caledonian Crushers versus our own crusher,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Crusher Chris.- Yeah.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Steamroller. Steamroller.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Locomotive. Locomotive from the Eggheads.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22So, Donald, Film & TV. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'll go first, thank you, Jeremy.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Here we go, Donald, with your first question.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Which of these '80s TV shows is set primarily in Hawaii?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Oh, a favourite of my childhood.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Yeah, yeah, Magnum PI.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45In fact, they all were favourites, but, yes.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48All great shows, and yes, you're right, Magnum PI. Well done.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52It was because he had his commitments to doing Magnum PI
0:03:52 > 0:03:55that Tom Selleck was forced to turn down the role of Indiana Jones.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Is that right?- Mm-hmm.- Oh...
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- He was offered it ahead of Harrison Ford.- How painful is that?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Chris, what is the name of Hugh Grant's
0:04:04 > 0:04:09character in the 1994 film Four Weddings And A Funeral?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Oh, another film I've never seen.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Erm...
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Hugh Grant, eh?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Erm...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Straight down the middle - Charles.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28"Straight down the middle - Charles" is the right answer. Well done.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- That's annoying, Donald, isn't it? - Very. Yeah.- How does he do that?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- I don't know how he does it.- Yeah. - Here's your question.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Anna Kendrick stars in which of these 2015 movie sequels?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Oh...
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Not my kind of movies.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Hmm, I'll take...
0:04:52 > 0:04:56..a wild guess at Magic Mike XXL.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Let's ask Debra. I can tell she knows.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Pitch Perfect 2.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- It's Pitch Perfect- 2. D'oh!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Sorry, Donald.- Ugh!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06So we go to Chris.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Rylan Clark, Kimberly Wyatt and Sam Nixon were contestants
0:05:10 > 0:05:12on which TV show in 2015?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Hmm.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Can I have the names again, please, Jeremy?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Rylan Clark, Kimberly Wyatt and Sam Nixon were contestants
0:05:26 > 0:05:28on which TV show in 2015?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Hmm...
0:05:30 > 0:05:34They sound like a bunch of cooks, so it's Celebrity MasterChef.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37How does he do it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Is he right, Donald? - Yeah, I reckon so.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Yeah, he is right, Celebrity MasterChef.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Just got these answers, just, batted away like that -
0:05:44 > 0:05:47instinctive. Now, you need to get this one right, Donald, to stay in.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Yeah.- Here we go.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Graham Moore gave a memorable acceptance speech after
0:05:53 > 0:05:57winning which Oscar for his work on the 2014 film The Imitation Game?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07That's a toughie.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08I've seen the movie...
0:06:12 > 0:06:13A wild guess again...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Oh, man. They're just not falling for me.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'll go for adapted screenplay, please.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Adapted screenplay is the right answer.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Oh!- Hey-hey!- Oh...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- The force is with you.- Yeah.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30But if Chris gets this one right, he's in the final.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32If not, we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Which of these actresses, Chris, starred in the films
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Murder By Numbers, Forces Of Nature and Hope Floats?
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Cameron Diaz...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Well, I have an idea it's Sandra Bullock.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Let's see. Eggheads, is it?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- I think so.- Tricky question.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- We think we're leaning that way, are we?- Yeah.- No, Pat?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'd probably go for Bullock.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Sandra Bullock is the right answer.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Sorry, Donald. That's annoying.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Sorry, guys.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- No...- There's some instinctive work by Chris, there.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's the pink shirt, I think, Chris.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15I hate this thing.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's doing something for you today.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Please come back to us and we'll play on.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24So, as it stands, the Caledonian Crushers have
0:07:24 > 0:07:27lost their captain, Donald, from the final round.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30The Eggheads have not lost any, but it's early days
0:07:30 > 0:07:32and if we were playing the wheelchair rugby, it would be...
0:07:32 > 0:07:34You'd be charging at them now.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Oh, yeah.- Yeah, definitely.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38The next subject is Science, so who would like this?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Crushing Science? Ciaran? - Ciaran.- I'll take that.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Ciaran, that's you.- Yeah, definitely.- Ciaran, down the end?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45OK, studying neuroscience.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Against which Egghead, Ciaran?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Erm...
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- That's a toughie, isn't it? - I think we were... CJ?
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- Yeah.- I'll try it.- Lisa?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- I'll give it a shot.- Or Lisa?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- No, let's try CJ.- CJ.- Yeah, CJ.- CJ.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Good stuff. So, all the Cs -
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Ciaran from the Caledonian Crushers versus CJ.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06All the Cs. Please go to our Question Room now.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Ciaran, you've got a scientific brain, I know that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12We'll see.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14So you're studying neuroscience.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Yes, yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17What made you go into that?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm interested in the brain.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It's apparently the most complex thing in the universe
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- they've found so far, so it seemed like a good thing to study.- Yeah.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29You are also, I know, an expert in pi,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31in that you know it to 100 digits.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Yeah, that's a very sad fact, yeah. - So, but I'm thinking...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I wondered, CJ, whether you did as well or have I misremembered that?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I'm about 20.
0:08:40 > 0:08:423.1415926 is all I know.
0:08:42 > 0:08:463.14159265358979323.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47- OK.- And so on.- And how...
0:08:47 > 0:08:498462...
0:08:49 > 0:08:51338327950...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54288419716939...
0:08:54 > 0:08:57937510582097.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I think that's right.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Yeah, you've won the round.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Please come back to us, we'll play on.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03OK, Ciaran...
0:09:03 > 0:09:05That was very good.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06We're going to play Science,
0:09:06 > 0:09:07so would you like to go first or second?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I'll go first, please.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Don't think we've ever had pi done to 30, 40 places before.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Ciaran, here's your first question.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Which of these planets is the largest?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Saturn.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Saturn it is, yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Straight there.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31OK, CJ,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33the voice box is another name for which
0:09:33 > 0:09:35part of the human body?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Well, the coccyx is in the pelvis, the patella is the kneecap,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45but the voice box is the larynx.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Larynx is the right answer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Back to you, Ciaran.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Frank Whittle, born in England in 1907,
0:09:52 > 0:09:56is credited with inventing which of these things?
0:10:00 > 0:10:031907, erm...
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I don't think it was the computer.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Radar, they developed in one of the world wars,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12but I don't remember which one,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15and it might have been before that.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17It could have been radar.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I think I'm going to go with jet engine.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Yeah, you're right, of course. Jet engine.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25He's playing well, team-mates.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Over to CJ now.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Which creatures are usually kept in an apiary?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Erm...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Sometimes I just look at questions and think,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41"What sort of mind comes up with these options?"
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Well, Sherlock Holmes was a famous apiarist in his older age
0:10:48 > 0:10:52and he was a beekeeper, so I'll assume an apiary is to use...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Is used to keep bees in.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Bees is the right answer.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Should have had apes in there - I think that might have confused you.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- I don't think so, to be honest.- OK.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04An apiary is a place where bees are kept. Ciaran, back to you.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Third question. Get this one right,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09and put some pressure on our grandmaster, CJ.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12In which category was the husband-and-wife team of
0:11:12 > 0:11:19Edvard and May-Britt Moser awarded a Nobel prize in 2014?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Which is the category?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I did have a look at the list of Nobel prizewinners
0:11:29 > 0:11:31for different things this morning
0:11:31 > 0:11:33but there were a lot of people on it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I don't think I've heard of either of them.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Erm...
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I'm going to take, pretty much, a guess at Physics.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45CJ, do you know this?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I would have gone for Physiology.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49It is "Physiology or Medicine".
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It's the third one there, yeah.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Any Eggs tell us any background here?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I think it's something strange to do with the brain's ability to
0:11:56 > 0:11:57have a sense of place.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I can't express it accurately,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02but it's to do with the brain and it's to do with the way
0:12:02 > 0:12:05in which creatures establish where they are
0:12:05 > 0:12:07or something very, very odd.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I think you're right.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09So, third question to CJ.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11If you get this wrong, we have Sudden Death.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Get this right, you're in the final.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Which astronaut accompanied Jim Lovell and Jack Swigert
0:12:18 > 0:12:21on the near-disastrous Apollo 13 space mission?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27This is one of those wonderful questions where,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31without the options, I would have had no idea whatsoever,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35but he's like Michael Collins was with Apollo 11 -
0:12:35 > 0:12:38the slightly forgotten member of the team -
0:12:38 > 0:12:40and I think it's Fred Haise.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45If you've got this right, you're in the final and Ciaran is out.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48If you've got it wrong, we play on with Sudden Death.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Do you know, Ciaran, this one?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51No, I've no idea.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Eggs?- It's Haise.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54It is indeed Fred Haise.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56We say, well done, CJ, you've taken the round.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Sorry, Ciaran, you've been knocked out.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Come back to us and we'll see what happens in the next round.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04So, as it stands,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Caledonian Crushers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11the Eggheads have not lost any and the next subject is Music.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13So, which Crusher would like this?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Oh... Who's up for that?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- It's Johnny.- That's me. - Is that you, Johnny?- Johnny.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- I think I'm being forced onto this, but OK.- Into a corner.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23OK, Johnny on Music. Which Egghead, Johnny?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26It could be Barry, Pat or Lisa.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Maybe Barry, what do you think?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Barry.- Barry?- We'll go Barry. - Barry on Music.- Barry.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33You get chosen a lot on Music, our Barry, in fact.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34In the past I have, yes.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Not so much recently, so I'm looking forward to this one.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40So, Johnny from Caledonian Crushers versus Barry the Brain
0:13:40 > 0:13:42from the Eggheads,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45and to ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- So, Johnny, you are the mechanic for the team...- Yep, that's me.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52..which means you have to change the tyres.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Yeah, yeah, get the guys on court.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56And I mean, sometimes you have to change them pretty quickly,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- I'm thinking.- Erm, in a game, yeah. - Yeah?- In a game.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02So, what's your record for changing a wheelchair tyre?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I've done it in under 60 seconds before.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07And they are special tyres for wheelchair rugby, are they?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Yeah, they're different from a normal wheelchair.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13You get just a different...
0:14:13 > 0:14:14They make you go quicker, essentially.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It must be a great event to watch.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- Oh, it's brilliant. It's brilliant. - Yeah.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19I've watched it...
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Well, we went down to the Paralympics in 2012 to watch it
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- and it was... It was brilliant, yeah.- Have you ever seen it, Barry?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I have seen it, and Johnny's right,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29it really is a thrilling event to watch.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32So, we're on Music, Johnny. I guess you're...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Are you pop man or a rock man or an opera man?
0:14:34 > 0:14:39- Erm, probably rocky sort of stuff. - Rocky?- Yeah.- All right.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42I'll go second, please.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Here is your question, Barry.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Which of these musicians sang on the 2014 Band Aid 30 single
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Do They Know It's Christmas? 30 years after featuring on
0:14:55 > 0:14:57the original version?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Oh, gosh.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I should know this instantly.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11I must admit, I was expecting some different names there.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Boy George, George Michael or Bono.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I think it might have been Boy George.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22So let's just check with our Challengers. Are they right?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Is he right? - We think it's Bono.- Yeah.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Yeah, it's Bono, Barry.- Oh!
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Slipped up on the first...
0:15:27 > 0:15:29That's the first Eggheads question they've got wrong,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- am I right, in this contest? - Yeah, I think so.- OK.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36OK, Johnny, it's started well.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39That was inspired, going second. Here's your question.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Sally Bowles is a main character in which of these stage musicals?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Erm, stage shows isn't one of my best.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I don't really know much about them,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56so it'll probably be a guess.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Erm...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I'll go with Cabaret.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03- Cabaret is right.- Yes!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Well done.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Barry, you're behind. Let's see if you can catch up.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Which country won the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest
0:16:11 > 0:16:12with the song Heroes?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21I'm afraid to say I actually watched some of this,
0:16:21 > 0:16:22but who won it?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It certainly wasn't Italy and it was almost Russia,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27but I think it was Sweden.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Sweden is right. You're a bit of a fan, are you?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Not in the least.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- That's what they all say.- My wife watched it so I had no choice.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39It's gripping, I think. OK, Johnny, your question, to take the lead.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Blank Space and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together are
0:16:42 > 0:16:45hit singles by which singer?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53It's not my type of music but I have to admit I know it.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I think it's Taylor Swift.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57It is indeed Taylor Swift. Well done.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I know you're about to make a joke about that, you two,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Lisa and CJ, about my...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- You love her. - ..my Taylor Swift fandom.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Yeah, yeah. OK. We move on.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Barry, Winston Marshall, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane
0:17:13 > 0:17:15found fame as members of which band?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Who's the...?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26No, I'm afraid they don't mean anything to me, though I must
0:17:26 > 0:17:30admit I do like Muse and I listen to their music quite often...
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- HE SIGHS - ..so if it is going to be Muse,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'm going to be very upset with myself.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40I think the Kings Of Leon might be more family-related,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42so I'll go for Mumford & Sons.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Yes, I think Kings Of Leon are...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- There's brothers in there.- Mm-hmm.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Muse, I don't know whether they're Welsh, aren't they?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Whether there's Welsh names? Not so?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Mumford & Sons is correct.- Oh.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Am I going the wrong way with that?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Muse are from Devon.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Muse are from Devon, but where are Mumford & Sons from? American?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- No, they're British.- No, they're British.- They're British.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06OK, so, but they sound so American, these names.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10OK, so, it's 2-2,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and because you went second, Johnny,
0:18:12 > 0:18:13you've got a little bit of an advantage here
0:18:13 > 0:18:16cos you've got an extra question so, if you get this right,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- you're in the final round. - Hopefully.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Which of these British composers was born first?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I don't think I've got any idea
0:18:28 > 0:18:30so I'm just going to go straight down the middle
0:18:30 > 0:18:33and go Edward "Edgar", please.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Edward Elgar, and that's just straight down the middle, bowl
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- the ball straight down the middle of the lane.- Yeah. Not got a clue.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41You've knocked all the skittles over. You've got it right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Well done, Johnny, Edward Elgar.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Brilliant.- Good. You're in the final.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Sorry, Barry, you're having a bit of bad luck recently, aren't you?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Yes, it's all, kind of, gone pear-shaped in the last few days.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Yeah, well, not to worry,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54we know the standard is usually high with you.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Come back to us, join your teams and we'll play on.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01So, maybe we're turning it around here.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04As it stands, the Caledonian Crushers have lost two brains
0:19:04 > 0:19:07but the Eggheads have lost Barry now, so they've lost one.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09The next subject is Arts & Books,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12the last before the final. Who'd like this?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Definitely not me! - Arts, since my one is away...
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- It's going to have to be me. - Yeah, looks like it, Debra.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18- Good luck!- Debra.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I'll take it.- OK, Debra.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Against which Egghead? Just choose either...
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- On the end, on the left, Pat or Lisa?- Pat or Lisa.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- I think you'd go for Lisa, aye. - Lisa?- Yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Could I have Lisa, please?- Indeed.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33So, Debra from the Caledonian Crushers versus
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Lisa from the Eggheads - Arts & Books.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Please go to the special Question Room now.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Well, Lisa, a little bit of a special moment for you.- Oh, oh, oh.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Do you know why?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Let's think. Could it be my 100th game?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Yes, it is. How did you know that?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I can count, Jeremy.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Your 100th head-to-head.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Now, I can go no further, I won't give you any stats on...
0:19:56 > 0:19:57I think you've mentioned the number -
0:19:57 > 0:19:59that's probably enough to kill it right there.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02That's... Yeah, so we're now in three figures, which is great.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07So, Debra, welcome to the Question Room. You are up against Lisa.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Would you like to go first or second on Arts & Books?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I think I'll go second cos it worked out all right last time.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20OK, Lisa. Number 100, here we go.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Which of these fictional bears is best known for wearing
0:20:23 > 0:20:24a blue duffel coat?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Rupert and Winnie-the-Pooh were slightly more
0:20:30 > 0:20:33towards the red end of the spectrum. That would be Paddington.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Paddington is quite right.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Over to you, Debra.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41How many people are represented in Gustav Klimt's painting The Kiss?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I think it's two.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Yeah, they are kissing each other.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Two it is.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Lisa,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54"He was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance,"
0:20:54 > 0:20:57is the last line of which 19th-century novel?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Oof.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07It's not Wuthering Heights...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I think.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12But I've never read the other two.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17"Soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance."
0:21:18 > 0:21:21It sounds marginally more like it would be Frankenstein
0:21:21 > 0:21:23than Madame Bovary.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24I will go for Frankenstein.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Frankenstein is correct.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Argh...
0:21:32 > 0:21:34That's how she's got to the 100.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38OK, Debra, which of these Salman Rushdie novels
0:21:38 > 0:21:40has won the Booker prize?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Hmm...
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I have no idea. Erm...
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Just, at a guess, The Moor's Last Sigh.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Do you know this, Lisa?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Yeah, I actually think The Moor's Last Sigh is his best book
0:22:02 > 0:22:03but it's Midnight's Children.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05It won the Booker and the Booker of Bookers,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07which was awarded after the first 25 years.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10And it's all about children born as India became independent, isn't it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:16Yeah, born in the hour where India became independent, which was the...
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I forget the date in August 1947,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20but no doubt the other Eggs can provide you with that.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Go on, Eggs.- August 15.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25August 15, 1947, says Barry.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29OK, over to you, Lisa.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Who painted No. 6 (Violet, Green and Red),
0:22:32 > 0:22:38which was reported to have sold for 186 million in August 2014?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48No. 6 (Violet, Green and Red)...
0:22:48 > 0:22:52I can't recall it happening. It sounds like a Rothko.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I shall say Mark Rothko.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Mark Rothko is correct. You've done it, Lisa.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Sorry, Debra, you've been knocked out.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01If you come back to us, both of you,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03we will see what happens in our final round.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07OK, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It is time for our final round which, as always,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11is General Knowledge.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:23:13 > 0:23:15allowed to take part in this round,
0:23:15 > 0:23:20so that is Donald and Debra and Ciaran from the Caledonian Crushers,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22and also Barry from the Eggheads.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27David and Johnny,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31you are playing to win the Caledonian Crushers £4,000.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36which is your growing reputation.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Why do I say growing? It's there already.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47You are allowed to confer with each other, gentlemen.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49So, Caledonian Crushers, the question is, can you,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52with your two brains, take down these four?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- We'll try.- All right.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- I'm pretty sure we won't. - That's the spirit.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57I think you might, I think you might.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00So, David, would you like to go first or second?
0:24:00 > 0:24:01We'll go second.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Eggheads, here we go with your first question.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10The River Danube rises in which country
0:24:10 > 0:24:16before flowing 1,770 miles east to its mouth on the Black Sea?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Germany.- The Black Forest area?
0:24:20 > 0:24:21- Mm-hmm.- Yep.- Yep. Yep.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Are you happy with that?
0:24:23 > 0:24:28It rises in the Black Forest in Baden-Wurttemberg in Germany.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Germany is the right answer.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Your question, Challengers.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36In the UK, Remembrance Sunday is observed on
0:24:36 > 0:24:38the second Sunday of which month?
0:24:42 > 0:24:43November?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It's in November, isn't it?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Is it?- 11/11.- OK, yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- In November, aye.- November.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- You had a bit of doubt there for a second.- Yeah.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55I was pretty confident.
0:24:55 > 0:24:5811/11, the Sunday closest...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00November is right, well done.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02OK, back to you.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Which of these people is a successful author
0:25:06 > 0:25:08in the so-called "chick lit" genre,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12with titles including Venus Envy and The Devil You Know?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- That would be Louise Mensch. - It's Louise Mensch.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19They're very good books.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Honestly, she is a good author
0:25:21 > 0:25:23if nothing else, I promise you.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Yeah, we're happy with Louise Mensch?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27We're going for Louise Mensch.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Louise Mensch,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32who was a Conservative MP with another name, which was...?
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Her maiden name was Bagshawe.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Bagshawe, but isn't she still
0:25:35 > 0:25:36writing under Bagshawe?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- She writes under Bagshawe.- OK.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40So you did well to spot this one.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Louise Mensch is the right answer.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Back to you. They've got two.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48It's... The pain of letting them go first is if they start streaking
0:25:48 > 0:25:51ahead like this, so just pull them back, just get this one right.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Here's your question.
0:25:52 > 0:25:58Mindanao is the second-largest island of which country?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02It's spelt M-I-N-D-A-N-A-O. Mindanao.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I would say Philippines or Indonesia.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- They're both islands, aren't they? - Yeah, definitely.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Erm...- Philippines?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'm just trying to think...
0:26:17 > 0:26:21I don't know. What's your... What was first instinct?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Let's go Indonesia.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28OK.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30You're tossing up between Philippines and Indonesia,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- is that right?- Yeah. - Japan, you ruled out.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Yeah.- Yeah, we thought the two had more islands.- More islands, OK.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Eggheads, do you know this?
0:26:38 > 0:26:39- ALL:- Philippines.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Philippines is the answer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I know... It was a real 50-50 for you, that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47So, the Eggheads are ahead,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51and if they get this one right they will have won the contest.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Let's hope they don't.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57Cannock Chase is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
0:26:57 > 0:26:58in which county?
0:27:02 > 0:27:03I'll just sit back.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04- Staffordshire.- Yeah, yeah.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Cannock is Staffordshire.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07I had a weird idea it was
0:27:07 > 0:27:08connected with somewhere else,
0:27:08 > 0:27:09but you know my geography,
0:27:09 > 0:27:10so carry on, gentlemen.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11OK, we'll go for that.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13It's in Staffordshire, Jeremy.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16I notice CJ recused himself from the discussion
0:27:16 > 0:27:17because you've got too much
0:27:17 > 0:27:18knowledge of English geography,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- have you? - I've never heard of those counties.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Cannock Chase, which is an interesting political seat
0:27:23 > 0:27:25as well, by the way,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28is in the County of Staffordshire,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30so we say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:30 > 0:27:31you have won.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Thanks, guys. The going second sometimes allows them
0:27:39 > 0:27:41to streak off into the distance like that,
0:27:41 > 0:27:42but thank you so much for playing.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Yeah, it was good. - It was good to play.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46I think, with a rugby ball, you would have thrashed them.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Yeah, definitely.- No doubt about that.- The invite's there.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51It was great to see you and we wish you well.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Commiserations to Caledonian Crushers.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56The Eggheads have done what comes fairly naturally to them
0:27:56 > 0:27:59and they still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01It does mean you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Who, I wonder, will beat them?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:10 > 0:28:12have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15There's going to be £5,000 to play for then.
