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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. Here they are as well.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35CJ, looking younger than ever.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I was going to say I'm well pickled,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- but then I realised I was sitting next to Barry.- Oh-ho!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43All right. Well, that's started things off well over here!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Nice and rude to each other.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hoping to get one over on the Eggs today
0:00:47 > 0:00:50are the Hayling Hackers, from Hampshire.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52This team of friends are all members of the same golf club
0:00:52 > 0:00:56on Hayling Island and regularly take part in the club's quiz.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58So, let's meet them.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, my name's Ben, and I'm a retired traffic engineer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Bill, and I'm a retired IT programme director.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello, my name is Terry, I'm a retired chartered accountant.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Paul, and I'm a sales director.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Phil, and I'm a retired IT consultant.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- So, Ben and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And tell us about the Hayling Hackers, why the name?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Well, I am possibly the only hacker on the team, Jeremy,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29whereas my team-mates are all good golfers.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32We're all members of Hayling Golf Club.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- We play on the suburb links course at Hayling Island in Hampshire.- OK.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Well, I hope you can hack into this lot today, that's all I can say.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Have you brought some clubs with you?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Because they might be handy, you know.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Not of the golfing variety.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:47 > 0:01:48for our Challengers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, Hayling Hackers, the Eggheads have won of the last four games.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Just got a bit of a run together, and you've got to stop them.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02It means that £5,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Would you like to give it a go? - Absolutely.- Yes, please.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So the first subject for you is History.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10And which of you would like this?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- We all look at Terry. - I'll have a go.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14I think Terry's the one.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Terry, just before you go, choose an Egghead to play.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I think I'll play against Lisa.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23All right, that was said with a great deal of conviction.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Lisa, are you up for this?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I'm slightly worried, it sounds like Terry's got a metaphorical
0:02:27 > 0:02:30five-iron tucked away for me.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34All right, so Terry with his five-iron against Lisa with her...?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- I'm usually just sat quietly at the 19th hole, Jeremy.- OK.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42would you please take your positions in the Question Room now?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Good luck, Terry. You have the choice,
0:02:46 > 0:02:47would you like to go first or second?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Yes, I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Here we go, Terry. Good luck to you and the Hayling Hackers.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Which type of weapon was the blunderbuss?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I don't think it's a catapult.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I'm not sure about a crossbow.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12But I'm going to say gun.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Gun is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18OK, over to you, Lisa.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Eliot Ness' team of US law enforcement officers,
0:03:23 > 0:03:24known as The Untouchables,
0:03:24 > 0:03:29were recruited to investigate which notorious criminal?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Thank goodness for classic film. That's Al Capone.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38What is the film in question?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39The Untouchables, Jeremy.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh, of course, with Sean Connery and all that! Yeah.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Al Capone is right, thank you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Me put in my place early on. OK.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Terry, the Neolithic period is also known by what name?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Neolithic.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04I'll have a bit of a problem on this one.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Let me just think.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I'm going to say this is the New Bronze Age.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It's actually New Stone Age.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Oh, dear.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17So Lisa has a chance to take the lead.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Which of these kings, Lisa, ruled England from 1016-1035?
0:04:26 > 0:04:281016-1035.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Well, Henry I was considerably later, he's post-Conqueror.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36And Alfred, I think, has got dates in the 800s and 900s.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40But 1016 is ringing a bell for when Canute made his effort to
0:04:40 > 0:04:45unify all the kingdoms of the islands.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47So I'll go for Canute.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Canute is the right answer.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51So, Terry, back's against the wall -
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- or whatever the golfing analogy is here!- Hmm.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Which bridge in London is known as the Ladies' Bridge,
0:04:58 > 0:05:02because of the key role women played in its construction
0:05:02 > 0:05:04during World War II?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I don't think it's Tower Bridge.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18It's between Waterloo Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I think it is Blackfriars Bridge.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Any Eggheads know?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I thought it was Waterloo Bridge.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Barry says Waterloo. Team, is he right?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Blackfriars looks older.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Blackfriars is older. Waterloo is the right answer, Terry, sorry.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Waterloo it is, so that means Lisa is through to the final
0:05:36 > 0:05:39because there is no way back for our Challenger in this round,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41but it is early days.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Return to us, please, and we'll play on.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46So as it stands, the Hayling Hackers have lost one brain
0:05:46 > 0:05:49from the final round, the Eggheads have not lost a brain so far,
0:05:49 > 0:05:50but early days.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Come on, guys. This is the moment.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56The subject is Arts & Books. Who would like this?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I think it's going to be you, Ben.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- I'll give it a go.- OK, Ben.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Team captain from the Hayling Hackers
0:06:03 > 0:06:05against which Egghead? Not Lisa.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Good grief. Pat, please. - Pat?- Yes.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12OK, Ben from the Hackers, Pat from the Eggheads,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16please go to our Question Room now.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19So, Ben, what was your career?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I've had quite a varied career.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Ex-teacher, ex-mobile librarian, ex-traffic engineer.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Mobile librarian sounds good.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Was that in a kind of caravan or what?
0:06:30 > 0:06:36Yeah, a 35-foot-long motorhome type thing,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39held 4,000 books, and we took it to old people's homes
0:06:39 > 0:06:42and hard to get to places which didn't have a library.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44All right, good luck in this round. Arts & Books it is,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46perfect for you, Ben, with your former career.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Would you like to go first or second against Pat?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I'll take my cue from Terry and go first, please.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56And here we go with your first question.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Arthur Golden's novel Memoirs of a Geisha
0:06:59 > 0:07:02is mainly set in which country?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I don't know the book but "geisha" is a bit of a giveaway,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I don't think it's Australia, I don't think it's India.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I would suggest it's Japan.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15It is indeed Japan.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Barry's favourite country. Have you read the book, Barry?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- I have indeed, it's a very good book indeed.- Is it quite saucy?
0:07:21 > 0:07:26No, It's a tale of a rivalry of a young trainee geisha
0:07:26 > 0:07:28and the other geishas in the establishment.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31One of them is very nasty indeed.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Pat, your question.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35The Italian artist known as Raphael was part
0:07:35 > 0:07:37of which artistic movement?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I think he proceeds by several centuries
0:07:45 > 0:07:47both Expressionism and Art Deco.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53He was alive in the 1400s and 1500s, he was Renaissance.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Renaissance is correct. 1-1, back to you, Ben.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00In the Shakespeare play Hamlet,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Claudius is what relation to the title character?
0:08:06 > 0:08:13I think... I'm not sure again, but I think he might be uncle.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Claudius is Hamlet's uncle, you're right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Pat, the 1915 novel The Voyage Out
0:08:22 > 0:08:25was the first published by which writer?
0:08:30 > 0:08:321915...
0:08:32 > 0:08:37First book, it sounds slightly late for Henry James's first book.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I've a nagging feeling Graham Greene's first book
0:08:43 > 0:08:47is around that time but it's got a different title.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48In which case...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52..I'll have to go for Virginia Woolf,
0:08:52 > 0:08:53but I'm a bit uneasy.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Virginia Woolf, let's see if the Eggs know. Eggs?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Yes. It is Virginia Woolf. - Barry?- Yes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01They all say yes. You're right, Virginia Woolf it is.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I thought you had him there.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I thought you were going to take him down. Here's your third question.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Keep the pressure on.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Excluding its pedestal, how tall is Rio de Janeiro's
0:09:12 > 0:09:16world-famous Christ the Redeemer statue?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Excluding the pedestal. Is it...
0:09:23 > 0:09:26It's certainly more than 10 metres.
0:09:26 > 0:09:3030 metres would be about 100 foot in old money.
0:09:31 > 0:09:3650 metres, 160 foot in old money.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I'm going to say 50 metres.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Do your team know?,- 30 I think.
0:09:42 > 0:09:4530. So what is that, 90 foot?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47100 foot.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50The pedestal is quite large.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52When you stand and look at it, it's huge,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55but if you take off the pedestal...
0:09:55 > 0:09:57So it's almost like an office block looking up at it.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01And it's on top of the hill so it's really imposing.
0:10:01 > 0:10:0230 metres, sorry.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05It gives Pat a chance to take the round.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Who wrote the 2008 book Paper Towns which was later
0:10:08 > 0:10:11turned into a film starring Cara Delevingne?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I don't think I know anything about either the book or the film.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Paper Towns.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I'm going to have to just do a pick
0:10:25 > 0:10:27and go for James Frey.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28James Frey is wrong.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- John Green!- Oh, well.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Hard old question, so it's 2-2 after multiple choice questions.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36It gets a bit harder now, we go to Sudden Death.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I don't give you alternatives, here's your question.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43The author Franz Kafka wrote primarily in which language?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Franz Kafka was a Czech writer
0:10:47 > 0:10:49so Czechoslovakian.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50No, German.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Was he Czech, Eggs? Can we confirm that?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- He was Czech.- He was Czech but he wrote in German.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It wasn't Czechoslovakia at the time,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02it was part of Austria-Hungary he was born in,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04but it is Czechoslovakia, where he was born.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I see, so he could be Czech and write in German.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Not an embarrassment at all, Ben,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12but it gives Pat a chance to take the round on this question,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Sudden Death. Albert Camus,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17the French writer of The Stranger and The Plague,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20was born in which North African country?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Well, several of his books are set in Algeria
0:11:23 > 0:11:27and there's a big French presence in Algeria.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I'm pretty sure he was born in Algeria.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Is he right, Eggs?
0:11:32 > 0:11:33He is indeed.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It is the right answer. You've taken the round,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37so two to the Eggheads now.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39What will happen next?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Come back to us and we will find out.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- A little bit painful, Ben, we've lost two.- Yes.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50What would this be the equivalent of in golf?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53We're on the ninth hole?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- Two down with three to play. - Three under-par?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I've ruled myself out of it
0:11:59 > 0:12:02so I just hope I've got some good team-mates around me
0:12:02 > 0:12:04like the Ryder Cup team.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06They've lost two brains, the Hayling Hackers,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09the Eggheads have not lost any and as always at this point,
0:12:09 > 0:12:10are looking insufferably smug,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14so you have to wipe the smiles off their faces and it's Sport.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Is that good? - I guess that's me, then, Jeremy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Paul against which Egghead?- I'd like to take on CJ, please, Jeremy.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- A fellow marathon runner.- Correct. - OK, two runners together.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30Paul from the Hayling Hackers versus CJ from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Please go to the Question Room.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36OK, Sport we're on, Paul, which I think is your thing,
0:12:36 > 0:12:37given that you're a runner like CJ.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Would you like to go first or second?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I'd like to go first, Jeremy, please.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Here is your first question, Paul.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52In cricket, what was the result of the 2015 men's Ashes series?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Is it...
0:12:58 > 0:13:042015, recent series, I think recently we've had a bit
0:13:04 > 0:13:08more of a track record of wins against Australia.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I know I think they beat us down under last time,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13so definitely not a draw.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Hopefully it wasn't an Australia win,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18so I'm going for an England win, Jeremy.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20England win is right. Well done.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Would you have got that, CJ?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Yes, I looked at my lists a little bit before I came out.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- That's your substitute for real life.- Yeah, or work.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Here's your question.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33In which position did the World Cup winning footballer
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Gordon Banks usually play?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I think, because I've heard of him, I think he was a goalkeeper.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46He was 1966, wasn't he?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Yes, he was. - He was a lovely man as well.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Goalkeeper is right, well done.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51OK, Paul,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54which of tennis's four Grand Slam tournaments
0:13:54 > 0:13:57was contested every year throughout World War II?
0:14:03 > 0:14:08I think obviously where the main location of World War II
0:14:08 > 0:14:13was taking place, then I'm going to rule out
0:14:13 > 0:14:16both Wimbledon and the French Open
0:14:16 > 0:14:20and I'm going to go with the US Open, Jeremy.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Nicely done. It is the US Open.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26This is confident play by our Challengers.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Let's see, CJ, if the wheels start coming off.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34How many teams took part in the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup in England?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Unfortunately I don't know if it was a straight elimination contest
0:14:41 > 0:14:43or they had groups to start with.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Rugby World Cup, do they have groups?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I'm going to say they do.
0:14:54 > 0:14:5712 is surely too few.
0:14:59 > 0:15:0232...seems like a lot.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07I've really got no idea but I hope they had four groups of five,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11and the top two went through to make quarterfinals, I'll try 20.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14You're nodding, Paul, I notice. Is he right?
0:15:14 > 0:15:15He is.
0:15:15 > 0:15:1720's the right answer, well done.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21So Challengers with two points, Eggheads with two points.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Third question to you, Paul.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Gennady Golovkin, born in 1982,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28is a famous name in which sport?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Don't know the answer straight off, Jeremy.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I think I'm going to go for athletics, Jeremy.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43CJ, do you know this?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- I thought it was boxing. - Boxing is the answer.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Gennady Golovkin was a boxer,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52so this gives our Egghead a chance here.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Which of these golfing events was first held in 1927?
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Ryder Cup.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Oh, wow, is that a list? Or were you there?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05That's a list.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08He learnt a list, how annoying is that?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Absolutely correct. - He's absolutely right.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Well done, you're in the final round.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15More bad news for our Challengers, what will happen next?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Come back to us, Paul, sorry you've been knocked out.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's not over yet, though! We'll play the next round in a tick.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24OK, so let's get the golfing analogies going,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26we are in the rough.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29We've hit three balls into the long grass.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- In deep doo-doo.- We've still got another ball left before the final.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37They've lost three brains, Eggheads over here looking smugger.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Still intact. The last subject before the final is Film and TV.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's got to be either Phil or Bill.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48What are you going to do?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Well, I think...
0:16:51 > 0:16:52I'll take it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53- You sure?- Absolutely.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55We'll leave you in the final.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- You sure?- Absolutely.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Given that you said you don't know anything about Film and TV, Phil,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02there's not a lot of...
0:17:02 > 0:17:05He's not got a lot of choice! Bill against which Egghead,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Barry or Dave?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I'll go for Dave, please.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Bill from Hayling Hackers
0:17:11 > 0:17:14swinging the club at Dave from the Eggheads on Film and TV.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Just to ensure there is no conferring,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18please take your positions.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21So, Bill, what are we going to do here?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24This is looking a bit desperate now. It certainly is.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Film and TV, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I'd love to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Here is your first question, Bill, good luck.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37In which decade was the TV drama series Casualty first broadcast?
0:17:42 > 0:17:472000s, I think it's been going a little longer than that, Casualty.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51It was filmed originally in Bristol
0:17:51 > 0:17:53at some stage near Southmead Hospital.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I think the 1960s is probably a little bit early so I'd go
0:17:56 > 0:17:59right down the middle and say 1980s.
0:17:59 > 0:18:011980s is right. That's right.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Dave with the tremendous knowledge, here is your question.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Cilla Black hosted which of these TV shows from 1985 to 2003?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Cilla hosted Blind Date.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Blind Date is correct, of course. I knew you wouldn't get that wrong.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Bill, over to you.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24What is the profession of Meryl Streep's character
0:18:24 > 0:18:27in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It's not a film I've seen.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Given that Prada is a fashion house,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I'm going to go for fashion designer.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Any of your team-mates know?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I think she's a magazine editor.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48They're right and you're wrong, Bill, I'm afraid.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Magazine editor it is.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52So, Dave, you can take the lead.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54What was the worldwide box office gross
0:18:54 > 0:18:56of James Cameron's film Avatar?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Right, I've had similar questions to this about box office
0:19:05 > 0:19:10and my esteemed colleague CJ has had to screw up his face
0:19:10 > 0:19:14in contortions because I keep getting them wrong.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22But on this occasion, I'm going to go for the top, 2.7 billion.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Let's have a look at CJ's face now. Is it screwed up?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It isn't, because that's the right answer.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It is the right answer, 2.7 billion.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32OK, so...
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- This is a bit worrying. - No pressure then.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37To recap, we've got an Egghead in the lead.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39You've got to save the day, Bill,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42or your team-mate will be playing alone in the final.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48Sean Harris plays the villainous Solomon Lane in which 2015 spy film?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01I saw The Man From UNCLE
0:20:01 > 0:20:06and I don't think I recall the name Solomon Lane in that.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16A set of films that I've actually seen since the first one.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19So I'm going to guess that one. No other reason, really.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It's the right answer. Well done. Rogue Nation is right. Well done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28So, you've levelled with Dave
0:20:28 > 0:20:31but, if Tremendous Knowledge gets this right, he's in the final.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Who received three best supporting actor Oscar nominations
0:20:34 > 0:20:40for his performances in The Master, Doubt and Charlie Wilson's War?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Right, because I didn't know he was in Charlie Wilson's War
0:20:48 > 0:20:51but, sure, I've got to go on the percentages there
0:20:51 > 0:20:55of what I've seen and go for Philip Seymour Hoffman,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58even though I didn't know he was in Charlie Wilson's War.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- He was, actually. Yeah.- Right.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04He got three best supporting actor Oscar nominations for those films.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06The answer is Philip Seymour Hoffman. Well done.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Three out of three, Dave. Playing well.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10And Bill, you were beaten by our Egghead as a result.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13You will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15In fact, you're going to have one player alone.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Come back to us.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19We'll play the all-important final.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22This is what we have been playing towards,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24it is time for our final round,
0:21:24 > 0:21:25which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:28 > 0:21:32to take part in this round so I have to look on this side, I'm afraid.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It's Ben and Bill and Terry and Paul from the Hayling Hackers.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Well, good luck, Phil. I'm sorry you're on your own here.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44You are playing to win the Hayling Hackers £5,000.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47As for you, Eggheads, Dave, Lisa, Pat, CJ and Barry,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50you are playing for something that money can't buy -
0:21:50 > 0:21:51the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54And to get a bit of a run going again.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You can confer. I'm sorry that doesn't help you.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Phil, the question is, is your one brain able to dramatically take down
0:22:06 > 0:22:08these five all playing together?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10You don't have to answer that, don't worry.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18OK. Here is your first question.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20General Knowledge, Phil. Good luck.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26Who did the actor Justin Theroux marry in August 2015?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I've heard of two of them, which is a help.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I think...
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I have a feeling it was Jennifer Aniston.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Shall we check with the Eggs?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Right.- Lisa, you read a lot of those magazines?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Watch a lot of those programmes that those people were in. Yep.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Jennifer Aniston's right. Well done.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Eggheads, your first question.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55What is the capital of Cyprus?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- All happy with Nicosia?- Nicosia.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Yes, we're all happy with Nicosia for that one.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Nicosia.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Where is Valletta?- Malta.- Malta.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- And Podgorica?- Montenegro. - Thank you.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14There we are. Never catch them on a capital.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Phil, fontina is what type of Italian food?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Fontina. F-O-N-T-I-N-A.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Fontina.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I can't get anything out of the letters.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I've never heard of it as a meat.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38The Italians make a lot of cheeses.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43And, of course, famous for their bread,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46but I will go for cheese.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Cheese is correct. Well done.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51You're playing well.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53A bit of conviction.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59OK, Eggheads, Marvin Gaye was a UK number one single in 2015
0:23:59 > 0:24:02for Charlie Puth featuring which singer?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Meghan Trainor.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I think this time it wasn't all about the bass,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14but it did feature Meghan Trainor.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Meghan Trainor is right.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I thought they were going to slip up on that.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Still, you're doing well. Two out of two.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Third question for you, Phil, now.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Get this one right and then we hope they go wrong
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and you just collect the money. It's that simple.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30What type of animal was Gordo
0:24:30 > 0:24:35who was sent into space in an American rocket in 1958?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43There was a famous dog who was in space but he was Russian.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46So I'm going to eliminate the dog
0:24:46 > 0:24:48because I don't think they'd do the same again.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52My gut feeling, again, is it's got to be more than a hamster.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54My gut feeling's a monkey.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Yeah, you were right to eliminate the dog.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Monkey's the right answer.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Well done. Three out of three.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03So, even though you lost four team-mates along the way,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Hayling Hackers, here you are, one question from £5,000.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It's the joy of Eggheads, isn't it?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12And they're sitting here and they suddenly feel a chill in the room
0:25:12 > 0:25:14because they're worried.
0:25:14 > 0:25:20Eggheads, the brothers Kevin and Michael O'Hare, both born in Hull,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24became leading performers and administrators in which field?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Oh. I've never heard of them.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I don't think it's acting.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I have an instinct for acting.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38When you think about administrators...
0:25:40 > 0:25:47Have you heard of opera singers and ballet dancers from Hull?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Why not?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I'm not ruling it out, but I'm saying,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55in terms of the administration, acting seems...
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Ballet and opera have administration.- I know.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I'm going to have to...my first...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Oh, dear. I hate to say this. My first initial thought was opera.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Kevin O'Hare is the one that's ringing a bell.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Michael O'Hare doesn't.- There's no Billy Elliot link with all this?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12If you were from Hull and you were a star in ballet,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15would that be some sort of seed for Billy Elliot? No?
0:26:15 > 0:26:21My feel is opera because I think opera has a lot of administrators.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I personally would rule out acting
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- because I hope I would've heard of them.- OK.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Possibly the reason I'm slightly leaning towards opera
0:26:30 > 0:26:33is I'm just wondering if I may have heard the name Kevin O'Hare
0:26:33 > 0:26:36in relation in some way to the Royal Opera House,
0:26:36 > 0:26:37to Covent Garden.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Have you got something?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Kevin O'Hare, is he the new head of the Old Vic?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52The Old Vic's just... Is that where I know his name from?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Oh, Lord! Is he the new head of the Old Vic?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Right, I'm changing my answer. I want to go for acting.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- After Kevin Spacey? - Yeah, Kevin Spacey left.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03I'm wondering if that's one of them.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06That's beginning to ring a bell with me. I think I'm changing my vote.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09There's an inkle now. There's an inkle based on something.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'm sure I recognise the name and I've just remembered
0:27:11 > 0:27:14about the Old Vic. I'm just wondering if that's him.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- I want to go for acting. - OK, we have a decision.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Happy with that?- Yes.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21All right, after much head-wringing, as was obvious,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24we've decided to go for acting.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK, your answer is acting.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28If you've got it wrong, they have taken the contest.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30If you got it right, we go to Sudden Death. You know that.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32The brothers Kevin and Michael O'Hare,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35both born in Hull, became leading performers and administrators
0:27:35 > 0:27:36in ballet.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39We say well done, Challengers, you have won!
0:27:44 > 0:27:46That is, if I may say so, the joy of Eggheads.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48But you played well. It's not a fluke.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49You got three questions right.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- I think it was a little bit of a fluke.- No!
0:27:53 > 0:27:54A lot of people would have said dog
0:27:54 > 0:27:56or they would have got one of the other ones wrong.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It's only in our history, and it's quite a long history
0:27:59 > 0:28:02we've got now on Eggheads together, the 15th time that's happened,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04reduced to one and the one wins.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I must admit, I didn't know any of them.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09No, but your logic was really, really good.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11There's some clues there, isn't there?
0:28:11 > 0:28:12And that thing of saying,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14"There's lots more cheeses than breads,"
0:28:14 > 0:28:17that's a classic bit of Eggheads logic, actually.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Well done, Hayling Hackers, you've taken them down at £5,000.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22You played really, really... I won't say played really well
0:28:22 > 0:28:25but you've certainly loaded the blunderbuss...
0:28:25 > 0:28:29You brought out the blunderbuss at the right moment, there.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31You proved you're cleverer than the Eggheads, Phil.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33No doubt, it's official.
