0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:28pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:32possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:37are Vibrato. Now, this musically minded team are all members
0:00:37 > 0:00:40of the Liverpool Mozart Orchestra,
0:00:40 > 0:00:41so let us meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Hello, I'm Howard.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44I'm a former chemist.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Anna and I'm a pharmacist.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Hello, I'm John.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I'm an accountant and I lecture in accountancy and finance.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Wendy and I'm a musician.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Liz and I'm a sexual health doctor.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59So, Howard, team, welcome.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Thanks, Jeremy.- Good to see you. Let me check the instruments.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Howard, you're the oboe. - I am, I am one of the oboists.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- We've got a viola...- Vee-ola, yes. - Vee-ola! Next to you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Then the cello.- Yes, that's me. - Then violin and piano, Wendy?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Yep.- And, Liz, what's yours?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Violin.- Oh, blimey, we've got a lot of small stringed instruments there.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19What instruments do we have on this side?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Just our brains.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I used to play oboe and violin, actually,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25but I was so terrible at both of them,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I think there were various petitions got up to stop me.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28It's why I became a singer.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It was the only instrument they couldn't take away.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Yeah, Lisa does have a great voice but, anyway,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I think you've outgunned them on the music.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Let's see how you do in the quizzing, Vibrato.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:39 > 0:01:40up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47So I can tell you that the last team,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49having had a pretty terrible time,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51then suddenly took them down in the final round.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52It proves it can be done
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and it means £1,000 is on the table for you to win today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57The first head-to-head
0:01:57 > 0:01:59battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- So who would like this? - John?- Let's say John.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Go for it, John. - I'll give it a go.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06It's going to be John, and choose an Egghead, John.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Any one of the five. Who would you like to choose?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Well, as I've been thinking all along, I think I'll choose Pat.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13All right. Great stuff.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17So it's John, who plays the cello, against Pat, who plays...
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- You play a bit on the computer, don't you?- Yes.- Yes.- Keyboard.- OK.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23To ensure there is no conferring, would you please
0:02:23 > 0:02:26both take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30John, here we are.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Sport, and would you like to go first or second against Pat?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35I think I'll go first.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41All right. Good luck. Here we go. Sport.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43John, in international rugby union,
0:02:43 > 0:02:48the Ireland team usually wears which colour shirts?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Is this blue, red or green?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- I would say green. - And I would say you're right.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Well done.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57OK, Pat, over to you.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Which of these is a badminton term
0:02:59 > 0:03:02referring to a powerful attacking shot
0:03:02 > 0:03:05hit downwards from above the head?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I think that's a smash.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Badminton, I think, holds the record for the fastest-moving...
0:03:15 > 0:03:18What would you call it? ..implement in racket sports,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- so I think it's a smash. - Of the shuttlecock...- Speed record.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Oh, really? It moves faster than a tennis ball?- Oh, yes, much faster.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26OK. Smash is right. Well done.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29All right, John. Get the cello out.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33The Australian Trevor Bayliss was appointed to coach England
0:03:33 > 0:03:36at which sport in 2015?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42I...
0:03:42 > 0:03:44don't think it would be netball.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I think I would veer towards...
0:03:48 > 0:03:50cricket.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Cricket is your answer. Let's see. Do you think, Eggheads, is he right?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54- Yes.- Yeah, they like that.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56You're right. Two out of two.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Playing well. Pat, here's your question.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04In 2015, the footballer Fabian Delph left Aston Villa
0:04:04 > 0:04:06to join which other football club?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Where did he go?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Fabian Delph.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15That's D-E-L-P-H.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Let me think about this.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21I don't think he went to Liverpool.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I don't think he went to Newcastle United.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Did he go to Manchester City?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I think he went to Manchester City but I'm not... I'm not certain.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Manchester City is the right answer, Pat. Well done.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34All right, two points each and, John, back to you we go.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38When Michael Schumacher won the 1994 Formula One world championship
0:04:38 > 0:04:40by one point, who came second?
0:04:44 > 0:04:481994 - that's a long, long time ago.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Yes, I'm not really highly into motorsports,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57but I think I would go for
0:04:57 > 0:04:59David Coulthard.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03It was actually Damon Hill who came second in '94.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06So Pat has the chance to take the round. Pat, your question.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09The July Course is one of the two main courses
0:05:09 > 0:05:11at which horse-racing venue?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I think Newmarket has two tracks,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20the July Course and the Rowley Mile,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22so that's Newmarket.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Yes, you are very good at this sort of thing.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Actually, at everything. Newmarket is the right answer.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Three out of three. Sorry, John, got knocked out there,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34and Pat goes through to the final. Do rejoin us in the studio.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35We'll play the next round.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Vibrato have lost a brain.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41The Eggheads have not lost a brain,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44so the next subject is Food and Drink.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Who would like this?- Can you take this?- I'm happy to do it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- You're happy to take that one, Anna?- Yeah.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50- Go on, Anna.- Anna is going to take that.- OK.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Anna on Food and Drink. Against which Egghead?
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Anyone but Pat.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57- It's a big subject.- I'd go...Kevin?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- I'd go Kevin.- Big subject.- Kevin.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- I'm going to go for Kevin.- OK.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Anna from Vibrato.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Kevin, are we still struggling with our Food and Drink or not?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Er...- Pretty much at the moment, actually, yeah.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Had some problems on it. OK.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Kevin from the Eggheads - let's see if you can knock out the master.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Anna, good luck in this round... - Thank you.- ..on Food and Drink
0:06:20 > 0:06:22against the great Kevin, and would you like to go first or second?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Can I go first, please?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Anna, good luck. Here is your first question.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Roughly how many calories are there in a pint of bitter?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I don't think it's as much as 360
0:06:40 > 0:06:44and I think probably 90 is being a bit optimistic,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47so I would say probably 180 calories.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49180 is the right answer.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51OK. Good stuff.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Kevin, your question.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56The bulgar wheat salad called tabbouleh
0:06:56 > 0:06:59comes from which part of the world?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's...in various countries.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I think Lebanon would be one of the main ones,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09but it's the Middle East, anyway.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Middle East is correct.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Anna, back to you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16The name of which Chinese-style dish comes from the Cantonese
0:07:16 > 0:07:18for "mixed bits"?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I don't think it's dim sum.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I think I'm going to go for chow mein.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33It's funny because I would have said dim sum but I would have been wrong.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35You're right to rule that out, but wrong to go for chow mein.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37It's chop suey.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40OK. So, Kevin, your question
0:07:40 > 0:07:42to take the lead in Food and Drink.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Which common vegetable has varieties called Estima and Marfona?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I assume that's E-S-T-I-M-A?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Yes, sorry. E-S-T-I-M-A and then M-A-R-F-O-N-A.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Estima and Marfona.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Hmm.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05I know a few varieties but I don't recognise those.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09No, this is pretty much a one in three.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12For no...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15particular reason I'll rule out cabbage.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20There are lots... Well, in fact,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22all three of them have got lots of varieties.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I... I'll go for potato.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Anna, do you know this one? - Yeah, I would have said potato.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Yeah, he's got it right.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Potato it is.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Takes the lead, so you must get this one right to stay in, Anna.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Dock pudding, made from dock leaves,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43is celebrated at the World Dock Pudding Championships
0:08:43 > 0:08:45held in which part of England?
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Erm...I'm not too sure on this one.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59But I'm leaning towards Cumbria.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01West Yorkshire is the right answer, Anna.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Oh.- Sorry, you've been knocked out by Kevin.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Kevin goes through on Food and Drink.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Well done, Kevin.- Mmm.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Sorry, Anna. Please return and rejoin your teams.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17As it stands, Vibrato have lost two brains from the final round.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Vibrating a bit too much. The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22The next subject for you is Science.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I'm thinking musicians and science go together.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26I don't know why I think that.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Who would like this? - That's me.- Liz, our doctor.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Against which Egghead?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34You can choose anyone but Pat or Kevin.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Erm...- Lisa?- Lisa?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- OK. Lisa, please. - OK. Liz from Vibrato.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43See if you can set up a vibration that cracks the egg.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Sorry, I couldn't...- Very good.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47To ensure there is no conferring,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49would you please go to the Question Room now.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53So, Liz, you are a doctor who plays the violin.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- That's right, yes.- And science - I know that's up your street.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- And would you like to go first or second, Liz?- First, please.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05All right. And here is your first question, Liz.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11In astronomy, which term refers to a star system that has two members?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Oh, I could do with my daughter for this one -
0:10:18 > 0:10:20she's keen on her astronomy. Erm...
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'm going to go with binary star.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Yes, binary star is right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Well done.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Lisa, which name is given to the boundary of a black hole
0:10:31 > 0:10:33from which nothing can escape?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I seem to be getting a lot of questions recently
0:10:39 > 0:10:43that are also the names of films. This was a terrible one, mind you.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44I think that's event horizon.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48You're right. Event horizon it is. Well done.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49OK. Back to you, Liz.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51What sort of creature is a jerboa?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54That's spelt J-E-R-B-O-A.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Well, I know what it looks like,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02and I would say, from what it looks like,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04that it's a rodent, but I may be wrong.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Rodent is your answer and it is correct.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Not many people would know what a jerboa looks like!
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Can you describe it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16It's like a large gerbil that hops, I think!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18A desert animal.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20OK. A hopping gerbil.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Good. That's correct. Lisa,
0:11:23 > 0:11:24your question. Which of these materials
0:11:24 > 0:11:29vibrates at a precise frequency in an electronic circuit
0:11:29 > 0:11:34and is often used to regulate clocks and watches?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I've never yet looked at my watch mechanism
0:11:39 > 0:11:41and had it say amber or tin on it,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44so I'd better go for quartz.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Yes, and I didn't know the reason for quartz being so popular,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50but quartz is right. Well done.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53OK. Liz, your third question now.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Get this one right and put some pressure on Lisa.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Otalgia is a technical term for an ache in which part of the body?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Ear.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Says the doctor.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Hope it's right!- It is right!
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Well done.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13OK. Lisa, on the ropes a bit here.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Get this one wrong and you are out of the contest, Egghead.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18What was the name of the UK rocket
0:12:18 > 0:12:23that successfully launched a satellite into orbit in 1971?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32All the Marvel superheroes that never made it to comic.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Erm... I like the sound of Silver Streak best,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38so we'll go with Silver Streak.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Black Arrow is the right answer, Lisa, so you are out.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Well done to our doctor!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46All right. Maybe things are on the turn now for Vibrato.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49You are in the final round, Liz, and Lisa is not.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Well done, Liz. Brilliant.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- How does it feel to beat an Egghead? - Oh, nice. Yeah, good.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02All right. Well, you're playing well and you're playing better than
0:13:02 > 0:13:06the last team at this stage, and they won, so there we are.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Vibrato have lost two brains.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Eggheads have also lost a brain - they've lost Lisa.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Let's see where we go from here. It's Politics.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- So who wants this?- Is that me?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I think that's me.- OK, Wendy. And against which Egghead?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21You can have either Dave or CJ.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Erm... I will go for...
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- CJ, please. - Is that an ambition fulfilled?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Well, he was just looking at me so nicely.- He looks really pleased!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32He does that sort of pleading expression.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36OK, Wendy from Vibrato has succumbed to CJ here with his...
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Psychotic puppy-dog eyes.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Yes, that's exactly it. The puppy-dog expression.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- What can I say?- Please go to our Question Room now.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49So Politics. Would you like to go first or second, Wendy?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50I will go first, please.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Here's your question. Who was the first US president
0:13:58 > 0:14:01to be assassinated whilst in office?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Well, I don't know the answer to this,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12but I instinctively feel I'm going for William McKinley,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15so I will trust that that's my instinct
0:14:15 > 0:14:17and I shall say William McKinley.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Lincoln was before that. Lincoln is the answer, Wendy.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21- Sorry.- OK.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24CJ, the Schloss Bellevue
0:14:24 > 0:14:28is the official residence of the president of which country?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Well, "schloss" is the German word for "castle",
0:14:34 > 0:14:36so I'm going to assume it's Germany.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Germany is correct.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40So he's got one.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Wendy, you can come back.- Yep. - Here's your second question.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47What name is given to emergency meetings held in Downing Street
0:14:47 > 0:14:49in response to crisis situations?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56I believe that that is Cobra.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Always sounds like something out of a spy novel to me,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- but I think it is. - That is exactly right.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Cobra is correct.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05OK, CJ, your second question.
0:15:05 > 0:15:11Mhairi Black, who was elected an MP in 2015 at the age of 20,
0:15:11 > 0:15:12represents which party?
0:15:15 > 0:15:20I believe she's the youngest British MP since the 17th century
0:15:20 > 0:15:22and she's with the SNP.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Yes, you're right.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26OK. Good stuff. Wendy, here we go.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29This is the situation - you need to get this one right.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- There's no easy way to say it. - Yep.- In 2015,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35the G7 leading industrial nations
0:15:35 > 0:15:39agreed to phase out the use of what by the end
0:15:39 > 0:15:40of the 21st century?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Well, I know they are trying to reduce carbon emissions,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53so I'm going to say that they're going to...
0:15:53 > 0:15:54rule out fossil fuels.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Fossil fuels is quite right. Nicely done. Two out of three.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Now we have to hope that CJ comes a cropper.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Which you can, CJ, can't you, sometimes?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Frequently.- Occasionally.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09In which decade was the Remploy Organisation established
0:16:09 > 0:16:13by Act of Parliament to help disabled people into work?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20I knew what it was, but when did it come in? Oh, my.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I don't THINK it was as early as the '40s.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I'm wondering if it is as late as the '80s.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I don't know this,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32but I'm going to hope I just remember it from my youth
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and it was new then so I'll try the 1980s.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So you were kind of veering '60s to '80s there.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Is it the '40s? - It is the '40s, yeah.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42You were some way off - 40 years.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Potentially 49 years off! CJ.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Two out of three to you both.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48We go to Sudden Death.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Wendy, it gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives, OK?- OK.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56In 2014, Baroness Stowell was made leader of the House of Lords
0:16:56 > 0:17:00and also became which of the Great Officers of State?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I'm afraid I don't know.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Was she...
0:17:06 > 0:17:11made the Privy Seal?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Yeah, I can accept that. Lord Privy Seal, yeah.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Ooh-hoo-hoo!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18You're playing so well.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Honestly, that's brilliant play.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23All right. CJ.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Sudden Death!
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Jeremy Corbyn first became an MP in the general election of which year?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Oh, Lord.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37You get this wrong, you're gone.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41I'm guessing at some point in the '80s.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45So I'm going to guess '83 or '87.
0:17:47 > 0:17:501983...42 years ago?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53'83 he would have been young.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57I'll guess...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00And it's no more than a guess at 1987.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02OK. Because '83 is 42 years ago?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Yeah.- Yeah. That's... That's the fatal error.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08It's not, it's 32 years ago.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So '83 is the right answer.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13'87 is wrong. Well done, Wendy!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- You've done it.- Whoo!
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Little bit of a mathematical slip from dear old CJ there.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Very bad luck.- No, not at all.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You played really well and he slipped out of the contest.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25You'll be in the final round. And if you come back to us,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27we will play that final round.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33It's time for the final, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I'm afraid those people who lost their head to heads are not allowed
0:18:36 > 0:18:39to take part in this round. So we say goodbye
0:18:39 > 0:18:41to Anna and John from Vibrato,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44but also to Lisa and CJ from the Eggheads.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Would you please now leave the studio.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Howard, Wendy and Liz,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51you are playing to win Vibrato £1,000.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Kevin, Dave and Pat, you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56which is the Eggheads' reputation,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59and to try and rebuild after, you know,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01the incident in the last game.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07You are allowed to confer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09So, Vibrato, the question is,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13can your three brains defeat these three?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15And would you like to go first or second?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I think we'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22And here is your first question.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Which actor did the Friends actress Courteney Cox divorce in 2013?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Definitely David Arquette. - Definitely David Arquette.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Very sadly so.- Yes, David Arquette.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39David Arquette, please, Jeremy.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42David Arquette is the right answer. Well done. One to you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Eggheads, what term is used for a sentence
0:19:45 > 0:19:47that uses every letter in the alphabet,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51such as, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Pangram?- Pangram.- Pangram.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Yeah, we're happy with that? Pangram.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04We're going for pangram, please, Jeremy.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Pangram is right! I'd never heard of this term.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08OK.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Here we go with your question.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Which of these British military decorations
0:20:13 > 0:20:16was first awarded in 1995?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It can't be the George Cross.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28No. I think it was the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Yes.- It's a new medal.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Yes. Certainly we'd trust you on that one.- Yep.- You sure?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I think it's the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross if it's a new medal.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42It is the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. Well done. Yes, bang on.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Well done. OK, Eggheads.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48Which actress appeared in the 2015 film Jupiter Ascending
0:20:48 > 0:20:52and took the title role in the 2014 film Belle?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I didn't know about her being in Jupiter Ascending,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06but she was the star of Belle and the other two weren't in Belle.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09So Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12We believe, or Kevin has informed me,
0:21:12 > 0:21:16that that is Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jeremy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Gugu Mbatha-Raw is the right answer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Well done. So 2-2.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Final round. Back to you, Challengers.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24This could be the crucial question.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29In which of these fields is the D'Hondt Method often used?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Could you spell D'Hondt?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Yes. D-apostrophe-H-O-N-D-T.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43I... I feel like deciding elections feels...
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I don't think... If it was weather forecasting,
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- wouldn't we have heard of it? - Well, I wouldn't have.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Maybe. OK. I'm happy to go with deciding elections.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55So we're sort of inclined towards deciding elections.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Does anybody have a better instinct? - No.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58OK.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02We're not sure. We're going to go for deciding elections, Jeremy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Deciding elections. OK.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07As it happens, I happen to know quite a bit about this,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10because I do do election programmes, so you're right.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Yes!- And just in case you want to know,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17the reason it's a method is that it's the way they decide,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20taking the votes in the European elections,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22how many MEPs you get as a result.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23It's a very complicated thing.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26It's a form of proportional representation.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- I should know that. - Named after Victor D'Hondt.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31And every four years, or five years, I have to explain it,
0:22:31 > 0:22:35and the explanation always baffles everyone who hears it.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37OK. So three out of three.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Here we are again! See, you think you're playing well
0:22:40 > 0:22:42and you're suddenly on the edge of oblivion.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45So get this one wrong and you've lost, Eggheads.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50The element of the British Crown Jewels known as Curtana
0:22:50 > 0:22:52takes which form?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54C-U-R-T-A-N-A.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- I thought it was a sword. - Well, that was my first thought,
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- but can you spell it again, Jeremy? - Yes, C-U-R-T-A-N-A.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- It's not... I don't think it's anything to do with a crown.- No.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10- So...- I can't associate it with sceptre.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- No?- Not to say that it's not, but...
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- So are you going to be happy going for sword if we...- Yeah.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- I'm not going to come up with any...- Yeah, we're not
0:23:17 > 0:23:20going to come up with anything, we're going to over-talk this.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Right, Jeremy. We're not sure, but...
0:23:23 > 0:23:28two quiz world champions here and they both
0:23:28 > 0:23:31had an instinct for sword, so that will be the answer.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It's also known as the sword of mercy.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36You're quite right. Sword it is. So three out of three for you both.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38You're playing well.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Here we are in the final round.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Sudden Death - gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Your question, Vibrato.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48The food of the gods called ambrosia
0:23:48 > 0:23:52originated in which ancient civilisation's mythology?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- I think it's Greek mythology. - Well...I would say Greek.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- I do.- You're OK with that?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- I'm happy with that.- Yep. - We're going to go for Greek, Jeremy.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Greek is right.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Thank you.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Sudden Death. Eggheads, get this wrong
0:24:07 > 0:24:10and you are out and the contest is over.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15The region called the Horn of Africa has a coastline on which ocean?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Indian Ocean?- Indian Ocean because Somalia...
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Somali coast. - Yeah, so it's Indian, isn't it?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24We're going for the Indian Ocean, please, Jeremy.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Indian Ocean is right. Sudden Death.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Back to our Challengers. Which US talk show host
0:24:28 > 0:24:33left The Daily Show in August 2015?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Well, I think that was Jon Stewart.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I haven't got a clue, so...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I haven't got a clue, so we'll go with that.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Go for it.- We're going to go for Jon Stewart, Jeremy.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Jon Stewart is correct. Well done.- Thank you.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48So you're really pressing them now. Eggheads,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50what was the name of the Methodist minister
0:24:50 > 0:24:53who founded the Salvation Army in 1865?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- It's Booth, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's William Booth, I believe.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59If we go... Again, just let's...
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Yes.- Let's to take our time on this.- Hmm.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Because there was another famous Booth around the same time -
0:25:05 > 0:25:10who was the one who did the maps of London poverty and deprivation
0:25:10 > 0:25:12and I think he was Charles.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Charles.- Yeah, I think that's right. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I think it's William Booth.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Yeah? We all right, team?
0:25:19 > 0:25:23We're going to go for William Booth, please, Jeremy.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24William Booth is right!
0:25:26 > 0:25:29You were just longing for them to stumble!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Which author popularised the term "thought crime"
0:25:32 > 0:25:36in a novel published in 1949?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Well, that was George Orwell... - 1984.- In 1984.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- We sure, we sure? It's not Brave New World...?- Absolutely, 100%.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Thought crime. - It's not Aldous Huxley?- No.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- George Orwell.- Yeah, I agree.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50George Orwell's 1984, please, Jeremy.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52George Orwell is right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Eggheads, the animator Nick Park
0:25:55 > 0:25:57won his first Oscar for which short film
0:25:57 > 0:26:00in which animals discuss their lives in a zoo?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Is that Creature Comforts?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Creature Comforts. Yes.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Right. Jeremy, we're going for Creature Comforts.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Creature Comforts is the right answer.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Sudden Death. Your question, Vibrato.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Which actor, born in Mirfield in Yorkshire,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19was knighted in 2010 for services to drama?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Mirfield. In 2010.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23A Yorkshireman.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27And he was knighted, so he's not going to be young.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29What about Kenneth Branagh?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I don't think he's a Yorkshireman, is he?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We haven't got any other names coming up to mind, have we?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40I feel that he's not from Yorkshire but you never know.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I think we might have to go with that.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- OK.- Because we know he's been knighted - that's a start.- OK.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I just can't think of anybody.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Who... Michael Gambon - where is he from?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Ah.- Do we know he's been knighted, though?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57We know Ken Branagh has been knighted.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59We know Kenneth Branagh has.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I think it's safer.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- OK.- I'm happy with that because we are guessing.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- We are guessing.- Jeremy, we're going to go with Sir Kenneth Branagh.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10OK, let me see whether the Eggheads know this.
