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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads, the show
0:00:25 > 0:00:27where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Can't Agree. Now, this team all work together
0:00:37 > 0:00:39at an accountancy firm in Stoke-on-Trent
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and enjoy testing each other in the office with a daily calendar quiz.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Sounds great! Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Caroline and I'm a tax adviser.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Philip and I'm an account manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Carolyn and I'm a tax associate.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Matt, and I'm an accountant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Ruth. I'm a tax associate.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- So, Caroline, team, welcome. ALL:- Hi.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Good to see you and I gather as accountants you have put
0:01:03 > 0:01:06together some fail-safe grid.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Being accountants we obviously love a good spreadsheet
0:01:09 > 0:01:12so we've kind of put together an analysis of the different
0:01:12 > 0:01:15rounds and how the Eggheads do in each round.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18You've had to get data from somewhere as to how many
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Sport rounds Kevin's done and all that kind of thing.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Yeah, we've been watching the show avidly
0:01:22 > 0:01:25and then I've been popping it in the information to my spreadsheet.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- This can't go wrong. It can't go wrong.- In theory.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Well, every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:31 > 0:01:34up for grabs for our Challengers but if they fail to defeat
0:01:34 > 0:01:37the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40So in the last game they were not very formidable at all
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and the Challengers won, so it means
0:01:43 > 0:01:46£1,000 is on the table right now
0:01:46 > 0:01:47saying you can't beat them.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49All right.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Now, who would like this?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Music?- Oh, now.- The worst one we could possibly have.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- Who do we think?- Shall I do it? - Carolyn? Yeah?- Are you sure? Go on.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Go on, then.- We are going to choose Carolyn.- She's good at music.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I was worried for your grid for a second there.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09THEY LAUGH
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Music is not on the grid. So Carolyn on music.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Against which Egghead? You can have any one of them.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I think to be honest this was one where all of them
0:02:16 > 0:02:20do reasonably well so shall we...? We'll go for Kevin.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- Yes, Kevin, please. Yes, is that OK? - All right. Thank you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Yeah, strong subject for Kevin but maybe not your strongest, actually.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- No, it's not my strongest. No, certainly not. No, no.- OK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Carolyn from Can't Agree plays Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37our first round, and just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39would you please go to our famous Question Room?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Well, good luck, Carolyn, here.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Music it is and would you like to go first or second against Kevin?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47First, please.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Which term, Carolyn, refers to catchy or repetitive music
0:02:55 > 0:02:58designed to appeal to younger children and teenagers?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I can't say I've heard this at all.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11I don't think it would be lemonsoda or applepie.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'll try bubblegum.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Yeah, bubblegum is absolutely fine, well done.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21The sound of accountants clapping.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I've never heard that sound before.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I just was thinking that was a bit different there.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28OK, Kevin, your question.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31What are the strings of a piano generally made from?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Well, it's not rubber.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40So, metal.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Metal is the right answer.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44OK, back to you, Carolyn.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46When playing certain musical instruments,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49which parts of the body are placed on a fipple?
0:03:51 > 0:03:56A fipple which is F for Freddie, I-P-P-L-E.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I don't think it's the fingers.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I can't imagine it's thighs but it could be.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'll try lips.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06You're a very good guesser, you're right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08There was a bit more than guessing.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10There was a little bit of application of logic there.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12No, no, it was definitely guessing.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Kevin, your question
0:04:13 > 0:04:15to keep pace.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Which artist had a UK number one single in 2015 with
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Don't Be So Hard On Yourself?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Justin Bieber was all over the place with number ones...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32..late in 2015 but I don't think that was one of them. You say
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Don't Be So Hard On Yourself?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Don't Be So Hard On Yourself.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I think Demi Lovato might have been involved as a
0:04:38 > 0:04:41featured artist on something but it wasn't...
0:04:41 > 0:04:42I think this is Jess Glynne.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48- Eggs?- Jess Glynne.- Jess Glynne is right. Two out of two for you both.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Back to you, Carolyn.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Who had UK Top 10 hits in the '80s with
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Eighth Day, D-Days and Will You?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Again, I don't know. I don't know
0:05:04 > 0:05:06the songs at all, the titles.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I'll try, I really don't know
0:05:12 > 0:05:13but I'll try Alison Moyet.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16No, Dave will know this. Dave?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Hazel O'Connor.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Yeah, Carolyn, I'm sorry the answer is Hazel O'Connor.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24It gives Kevin a chance to come back now.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Which 19th century composer wrote the operetta Der Zigeunerbaron
0:05:29 > 0:05:30or the Gypsy Baron?
0:05:35 > 0:05:40That's, um, funnily enough, I knew it was a member of the
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Strauss family so that helps that
0:05:42 > 0:05:43there aren't others there.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I actually thought it was Johann Strauss the Younger
0:05:46 > 0:05:48and it is.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Johann Strauss the Younger is the right answer, Kevin, well done.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Music IS a strong subject for you after all.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56You've won the first round.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Carolyn, I'm sorry, knocked out by our Egghead.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Got to get back on that accountant's grid.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Come back to us, both of you, and we will play the next round.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08So, difficult start for our Challengers.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Can't Agree have lost a brain.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12The Eggheads are sitting there still intact, all five of them.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14The next subject for you is Sport.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Is this good, Caroline?- Yes, it is.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- We've got Matt...- Yes, I'll be the one taking on Sport.- OK, Matt.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25And who would you like to take on of the remaining four Eggheads?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Should I take Judith?- I think go with Judith, yeah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29I'll take Judith on, please.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30I'm not going.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33THEY LAUGH
0:06:33 > 0:06:34I'm not doing it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36HE LAUGHS
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- That's not quite how the game works. I'm so sorry.- Tough.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42All right, so clearly the grid is now working.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46So Matt from Can't Agree versus Judith, who's on strike,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53This could be lively.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Well, Matt, you leapt at the chance to do Sport there.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58I'm a big fan of sport
0:06:58 > 0:07:02so I was hoping this topic would arise today.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05So, have you calmed down now, Judith? Are you happy with this?
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Of course I'm not happy. I'm just doing what I'm told.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12All right, Judith. Steel yourself, here we go.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Matt, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21So here's your question, Matt.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Which type of shot are golfers most likely to hit
0:07:24 > 0:07:29from the tee of a par 4 or par 5 hole?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Well, I know that you only putt once you've reached the green in golf.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39For par 4 or par 5 they're often long distances
0:07:39 > 0:07:42so you would drive the ball. Drive.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Yes, indeed.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Very good. Drive is the answer.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Judith, which city staged the
0:07:47 > 0:07:51IAAF World Athletic Championships in 2015?
0:07:54 > 0:07:59IAA... Is that athletics? International Athletics...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I think it's Delhi.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- It's Beijing.- Oh, no! - Don't worry, don't worry.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Matt, in which year did Jonah Lomu
0:08:10 > 0:08:13make his first appearance in a Rugby Union World Cup?
0:08:19 > 0:08:24This is a tough one. Rugby isn't really my specialist area.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29He was around for quite a while on the rugby scene.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I would say 2003 is too recent.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I would probably go, he made his first appearance
0:08:37 > 0:08:39in 1995.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45'95 is right. So you got two.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Judith, you are on the edge. If you don't get this right,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49you will be out.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Which tennis player won the Women's Singles title
0:08:52 > 0:08:54at the 2015 US Open?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03And she beat Serena, didn't she?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think it's Roberta Vinci.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Roberta Vinci who beat Serena Williams.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Have you got a memory of that match? - Well, vaguely.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Anyone else got a memory of that?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Well, I think she did beat Serena
0:09:14 > 0:09:16but she didn't win the US Open.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Yeah, we think she beat Serena but
0:09:18 > 0:09:20she didn't win the US Open, Judith.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21The answer is Flavia Pennetta.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Oh!- An all-Italian final.- Yes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Well, that's me, then.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27An all-Italian final. That's you, I'm sorry.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Judith has been knocked out on Sport but well done, Matt,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34your team can go crazy. Give us some more of that accountants' applause.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Matt, come back to us. You'll be in the final round. Judith, you won't.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41You return to us and rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Well, the grid is working now.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48The accountants are just pulling rank on the Eggheads, very slightly.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Can't Agree have lost a brain but the Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It's finely poised, and the next subject is Arts & Books.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Philip P again.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Philip?- Philip?- I think that's going to be me.- OK.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02This is certainly very organised on this side.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Who would you like to take on? It could be Dave or Chris or Barry?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I think as a fellow Crewetonian,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- I think I'd like to take Chris on. - Oh, two Crewemen together. OK.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Philip from Can't Agree and Crewe
0:10:13 > 0:10:15versus Chris from the Eggheads and Crewe.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Please go to the Question Room.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- Philip, how is Crewe these days? - It's absolutely fine, thank you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Good and, Chris, you still like living there?- Yes, it's great.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- What's the Crewe newspaper, Chris? - Crewe Chronicle.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31The Crewe Chronicle's got to be across this. Got to be all over it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32All right, Arts & Books.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Philip, would you like to go first or second?
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Can I go first, please?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41You can indeed and good luck.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Which of these art galleries has a large display space
0:10:44 > 0:10:47known as the Turbine Hall?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Well, it's not one I've heard of. Um...
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Instinct told me before you read the answers,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03the possible answers, that it would be Tate Modern.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Because that's in a quite industrial building.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I think I'm going to go for Tate Modern.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Yeah, you're right.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I've been there and it's an absolutely enormous space,
0:11:12 > 0:11:13in fact, so big they often I think
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- struggle to put anything in it. - Definitely.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17So, well done, Tate Modern it is.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Chris, which of these novels
0:11:19 > 0:11:22featuring James Bond was written by Ian Fleming?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Well, the only one there that is an original Fleming is
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Diamonds Are Forever.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Yep, it's on my shelf at home. Diamonds Are Forever.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Philip, back to you. Crewe, one, Crewe, one.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Which famous author wrote A Child's History Of England that
0:11:39 > 0:11:42first appeared as a serial in 1851
0:11:42 > 0:11:45and was later used as a textbook in the 20th century?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Right, I'm on firmer ground with this one.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Not Disraeli, definitely not Shelley,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56who was famous for Frankenstein, obviously.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I think it's Charles Dickens.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00It is Charles Dickens, well done.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Back to you, Chris from Crewe.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Eudora Welty, born in Mississippi in 1909,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09became famous in which field?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Eudora Welty. Wasn't she Grandma Moses?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18In which case it would be painting.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Right, I don't have painting here
0:12:20 > 0:12:23although I loved your conviction there.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's literature.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Eggheads, was she Grandma Moses?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30No, Grandma Moses was a painter.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Anna Mary Robertson
0:12:31 > 0:12:33was Grandma Moses.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Eudora Welty was a novelist.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37She was a Pulitzer prize-winning novelist.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- And she wrote under her own name.- Yes.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Yeah, she just wrote novels under that name, Chris.- Oh, right.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45But nice bringing Grandma Moses in. Always welcome.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Even when it's wrong.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Philip, your question.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50You get this right, Philip,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52you are in the final.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53How many people are shown
0:12:53 > 0:12:57in Grant Wood's 1930 painting, American Gothic?
0:13:00 > 0:13:01I didn't know the artist
0:13:01 > 0:13:05but when you said American Gothic, I think this is the painting of
0:13:05 > 0:13:09two quite miserable-looking people in front of their farmstead.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10I think it's two.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14A husband and wife with a pitchfork. Yeah, two is right.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Well done, Philip. Three out of three. Three out of three.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Sorry, Chris.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Are you going to be able to show your face in Crewe now?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24THEY LAUGH
0:13:24 > 0:13:26So, Philip, you have taken down an Egghead.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30That's very handy for your team, which now pulls ahead a little bit.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32You come back to us, rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Well, this is looking rather exciting because you've now
0:13:37 > 0:13:41taken down two Eggheads and you've only lost one brain yourself.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43The grid is working, clearly.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46The next one for you is Science.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- You're better at science than me. - It's one of you two.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53It's not my strongest subject but...
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm worse than you but I don't know.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- I think I'm going to go for Science. - Are you sure?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59OK, Team Captain, Caroline. Against which Egghead?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01It can be one of the ones at the end there,
0:14:01 > 0:14:02it's got to be Barry or Dave.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Are you happy with Dave?- I think Dave. Yes, I think Dave.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Dave on Science. Are you the one who blew up his chemistry lab once?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Dave.- No, no.- No, it was Barry.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13THEY LAUGH
0:14:13 > 0:14:18So Caroline from Can't Agree versus Dave from the Eggheads on Science
0:14:18 > 0:14:22and for the last round before the final, please take your leave of us.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So, Caroline, have you got any science background?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- I did do some science A levels but...- That's good enough.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33That is good enough, seriously. OK, well, good luck, Caroline.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Here is your first question, Caroline.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44When a computer is referred to as a PC,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47for what does the letter P most often stand?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Well, I don't think it's pixel.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57It tends to be for computers that are fixed
0:14:57 > 0:14:59so I wouldn't think it would be portable.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03I'm fairly sure it's personal so I'll go for personal,
0:15:03 > 0:15:04personal computer.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Yep, exactly right. Personal is right.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Dave, based on their
0:15:09 > 0:15:11average distance from Earth,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13which of these planets is furthest away?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19From Earth, well, they're going out so
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I'm just getting it right in my head.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Yes, it's Neptune.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Neptune is right. So, one each. Back to you, Caroline.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Which of these terms refers to an
0:15:29 > 0:15:33abnormal fear or dislike of beards?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I have to say I've not heard of this particular phobia.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45It's not one that I have.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I'm kind of torn between
0:15:49 > 0:15:52ballistophobia and pogonophobia.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Don't know why.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I'm probably going to kick myself
0:15:57 > 0:16:00but I'm going to go with ballistophobia, I think.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Ballistophobia, please.- OK.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Well, let's check with Barry cos Barry grew a beard
0:16:05 > 0:16:07and then it resulted in a series of
0:16:07 > 0:16:09terrible losses in the Question Room.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Yes, I had to shave it off because
0:16:10 > 0:16:12my wife suffered from pogonophobia.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Oh, it's pogono.- Oh.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17OK, sorry about that, Caroline.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Dave, your question.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22What is the main diet of the bird called the nightjar?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Nightjar, right. I'm not really sure.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I don't think it's smaller birds.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I really don't think it's nuts, to be honest.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I'll have to go insects but I'm not really sure at all.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43You've taken the lead with that, it is indeed insects.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45So, Caroline, sorry. You needed a break there, didn't you?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Yeah.- If you get this one wrong, you're out.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Including the mandible,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53the human skull is made up of approximately how many bones?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Again, I don't know the answer.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Biology isn't one of the science
0:17:02 > 0:17:04A-levels I took, unfortunately.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I took chemistry and physics.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11I've got a gut feeling that it may be 22. I don't know
0:17:11 > 0:17:14where I'm getting that from but I'm going to go with 22.
0:17:15 > 0:17:1722 is right. Well done.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Dave, your question
0:17:21 > 0:17:22to take the round.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26In which medium does sound generally travel fastest?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Never thought about this at all.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I've got no basis for this at all.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I'm going to put myself out of my misery. I'll go gas.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Let's ask The Brain, Barry.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44My gut feel would be gas.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Sound is a pressure wave and in a solid or liquid it would hit
0:17:47 > 0:17:50more atoms so that would tend to slow it down.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Well, the answer is solid. - No!- OK? Seriously.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Would never have got that. - One of the all-time great questions.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- So, look, where are we? We're all a bit fazed by that.- We're baffled.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02It's two-two.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Caroline, we go to Sudden Death now. It gets a bit harder.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- I don't give you alternatives.- OK.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09In which year did the supersonic airliner Concorde
0:18:09 > 0:18:11make its final flight?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I am quite interested in planes.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I used to go with my grandad when I was a child
0:18:16 > 0:18:18and we used to go to Manchester Airport
0:18:18 > 0:18:21to watch the planes come in.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23And I have seen Concorde.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I remember going to watch Concorde come in to Manchester.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33I'm trying to think of the last time. I have a year in my mind.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I feel like it may be 2003 but I really don't know.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- That's just what first came to my mind.- All right.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Let's see, let's just ask the Eggheads. Is she right?
0:18:42 > 0:18:47- I think she's right.- You're right. - Brilliant.- Really great.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48That is great quizzing,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51well done. So, you are pushing Dave here.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Dave, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Which of the alkali metals reacts with water to produce a lilac flame?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Well, there's only one I can go for but I'm out.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Yes, I'm just going to go with it. Potassium.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Potassium is the right answer.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Caroline, which medical pioneer famously identified a water pump
0:19:16 > 0:19:23in Broad Street, Soho, as the cause of an outbreak of cholera in 1854?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26No, I really don't have a clue on this one.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30My mind's really gone blank.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34I'm struggling even to think of any medical pioneers. Erm...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I think I'm going to have to pass, I'm afraid. Sorry, team.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- OK, Dave. Do you know this one? - Was it Joseph Lister?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- No, it's John Snow, is the answer. - No, I wouldn't have got that.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45OK, so Dave, your chance to book
0:19:45 > 0:19:47a place in the final round.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52Which element in the periodic table has the symbol NB?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55There's only one I can go for. Niobium.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- (Yes.)- Barry, is he right?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01He is indeed. And that's one of my favourite all-time quiz questions,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05which is, "Which father and daughter are represented
0:20:05 > 0:20:07"by elements in the periodic table?"
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And the answer is Tantalum and Niobium
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- because they're father and daughter in Greek mythology.- Oh, wow.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I love that. Niobium is quite right, Dave.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Well played by you because you were on the ropes there.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Caroline, especially well played by you as a Challenger.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Really good to get that far into Sudden Death.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Sorry you've been knocked out.- Yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27It brings the two teams level and puts us
0:20:27 > 0:20:29in prospect of a very exciting final.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Well, what a tussle.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34And this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36It is time for the final round which as always
0:20:36 > 0:20:37is General Knowledge.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:20:40 > 0:20:42allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45So, Caroline and Carolyn from Can't Agree and also Chris
0:20:45 > 0:20:47and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Philip, Matt and Ruth, you're playing to win
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Can't Agree £1,000 and I should ask
0:20:55 > 0:20:57where Can't Agree, the name, comes from?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- Is it going to be agreement on this round?- Yes, I think it is.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05We went through various permutations of what we could call ourselves
0:21:05 > 0:21:09and every time, at least one person would say, "No, I don't like that."
0:21:09 > 0:21:13So we said, "Well, we just can't agree." And it stuck.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Right, well, in this round you will have to, I think.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Barry, Kevin and Dave, of course the stakes are much higher in some
0:21:20 > 0:21:23ways for you because you've had a pretty wretched time recently.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24You need to get back on track.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27You're playing for the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31This time they're all General Knowledge
0:21:31 > 0:21:35and you are allowed to confer, crucially, and agree.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38So, Can't Agree, the question is - are your three brains able to defeat
0:21:38 > 0:21:42these three over here, and would you like to go first or second?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I think we'll go first, please.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Ruth and team, good luck to you. Here we go.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Which TV sitcom character thrashed
0:21:53 > 0:21:56a red Austin car with a tree branch
0:21:56 > 0:21:59in a famous scene first shown in 1975?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Well, it wasn't Norman Stanley Fletcher...- No, no.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08..because that's Porridge.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10And Wolfie Smith is Citizen Smith, isn't he?
0:22:10 > 0:22:15- Yes.- I think it's definitely Basil. - It's Basil Fawlty, isn't it?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Yes, yes, definitely.- Basil Fawlty? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Basil Fawlty.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Yes, Basil Fawlty is correct. A great scene.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24"You've had it coming. I've warned you!"
0:22:24 > 0:22:26"I'll give you a damned good thrashing."
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Yeah, Dave, "You're going to get a damned good thrashing."
0:22:29 > 0:22:30OK, your question, Eggheads.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Which of these French ports is closest to the Belgian border?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38- Dunkirk.- Dunkirk, must be.- Dunkirk.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Are we all happy with that?
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Yes, it's very close to
0:22:41 > 0:22:42the Belgian border.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Dunkirk is almost on the Belgian border
0:22:44 > 0:22:47so we really couldn't choose anything other than that.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Dunkirk is correct.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Challengers, who came a distant second to
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Jeremy Corbyn in the 2015 Labour Party leadership election?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- We need Caroline.- I know, where's Caroline when you need her?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09She's going to be shouting the answer.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14My gut instinct from those was Andy Burnham.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17His name did cross my mind. It did ring a bell. What do you think?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- I'm happy to go for that. - I'd go with Andy Burnham.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Do you want go with Andy Burnham? - I think so.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24We'll go with Andy Burnham, please.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Andy Burnham is your answer?- Yes.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- It's a hard question because they were all candidates.- Yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Liz Kendall came last.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32But you're right, Andy Burnham was
0:23:32 > 0:23:34second, well done.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37OK, your second question now.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Which actor played the role of Martin Luther King
0:23:40 > 0:23:43in the 2014 film, Selma?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- David Oyelowo.- Can't pronounce it.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53THEY LAUGH
0:23:53 > 0:23:55It was a wonderful film.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57It was David Oyelowo.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00David Oyelowo is the right answer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02OK, over to you for your third question.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Get this right, you really put a bit of pressure on them and they did
0:24:05 > 0:24:08have a bad time in the last game and they're still finding their feet.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09This is a good moment for you.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Emma of Normandy was Queen of England both as wife
0:24:13 > 0:24:18of Ethelred the Unready and later as wife of which other king?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I haven't got a clue on this.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Not a subject I'm an expert in.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Edward the Confessor was the last
0:24:31 > 0:24:35before the Norman conquest...
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- ..because...- And this is Emma of Normandy.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Yes, and she was obviously before...
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Canute I think was before Edward the Confessor.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48So that would make sense.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Could we eliminate Edward the Confessor?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- I've never heard of Harthacnute.- No, No.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Ethelred the Unready. Canute...
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- ..seems the logical answer. - Yes, I'm leaning towards Canute.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Based on your logic of the time line...
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- We'll go for that, yeah. - Shall we go for Canute?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10We really don't know.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12So we're going...I think...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14we'll go for Canute.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Canute is your answer.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Let's check with the Eggheads.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18- Are they right?- Yep.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20You've got it right, well done.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Canute, phew! So three out of three!
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Gosh, it's some
0:25:24 > 0:25:26hard old games you're playing, Eggheads,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28at the moment, isn't it?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31If you get this wrong, you've been defeated.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I don't want to go on about it.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Which structure was partly built upon the Whin Sill?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Whin is W-H-I-N and Sill is S-I-L-L.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41That's Hadrian's Wall.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48This one's a bit more straightforward
0:25:48 > 0:25:49because I think we've all
0:25:49 > 0:25:50been to Whin Sill
0:25:50 > 0:25:53and we've seen Hadrian's Wall.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Hadrian's Wall is the right answer
0:25:54 > 0:25:56so you didn't
0:25:56 > 0:25:58just knick it from them there.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01We have to go to Sudden Death. So it gets a bit harder, I don't give you
0:26:01 > 0:26:04alternatives and here is your first Sudden Death question.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Who is credited as the designer of the Morris Minor car
0:26:08 > 0:26:10that first appeared in 1948?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Yikes.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I can't even think of any car designer.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19- LAUGHS:- William Morris?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- THEY LAUGH - No.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24If it's a Morris Minor.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Do you think it's someone with the name Morris?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29As in Morris Minor?
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Esther Morris then.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Do you want to have a guess at someone Morris?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Yes, we'll say somebody Morris. What shall we do?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40What first name shall we go for?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Or shall we just go with William Morris?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Yeah, you'll kick yourself if it's wrong, though.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- If it's right, and you don't go for it.- Yes, we'll go for it.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54We'll go with the name William Morris just because Morris.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Sure, I totally understood and he was a person for sure.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Is he the right person here, Eggheads?- Issigonis.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Alec Issigonis is the answer. - I have heard the name.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- The designer of the Morris Minor. - Yes.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08So, Eggheads, if you get this right,
0:27:08 > 0:27:09you've taken the contest.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13In September 2015, Sir Alex Ferguson named
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Cristiano Ronaldo, Eric Cantona, Ryan Giggs
0:27:16 > 0:27:21and which other as the only four world-class footballers to
0:27:21 > 0:27:24have played for him at Manchester United?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- I think it was Paul Scholes. - It is Scholes because...
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Well, let's just discuss this
0:27:28 > 0:27:29because we've got, it's not Kane
0:27:29 > 0:27:32and the other one that I was looking at was Schmeichel
0:27:32 > 0:27:33when I was looking through the list
0:27:33 > 0:27:39that should've been in the list but I'm fairly certain it is Scholes.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Yeah, I know less obviously and I would have said Scholes.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Yeah, it's Paul Scholes.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46We are all going for Paul Scholes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49You could give a lot of names in that gap, couldn't you?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51The answer, though, is Paul Scholes.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Yeah, and I guess it's which player has he
0:28:01 > 0:28:04not fallen out with is sort of the question.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Can't Agree, you played a great game.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08To get them down to three and get three right
0:28:08 > 0:28:11in a row in the final, well done. Commiserations overall.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13The Eggheads have done what is
0:28:13 > 0:28:15possibly starting to come naturally again.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18They reign supreme over Quizland once more.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21It does mean that you won't be going home with the £1,000 so we roll
0:28:21 > 0:28:23that money over to our next exciting show.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Eggheads, congratulations, let's see if you can get a run together here.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see
0:28:29 > 0:28:33if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36£2,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
