0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:28pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:33possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today are the Quiztians.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40This team of friends met through ChristCentral Church
0:00:40 > 0:00:42in Portsmouth, and share a love of quizzing.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Siobhan and I'm a cultural coordinator.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Oliver and I'm a charity director.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Peter. I'm a charity worker.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Nathan and I'm a data coordinator.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Andrew and I'm a product manager.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- So, Siobhan and team, welcome.- Thank you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Great to see you. So Christians who love to quiz, right?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Yeah. Yeah. - And met at the same church?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Yeah, we all met through ChristCentral Church in Portsmouth.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And yeah, we also share a love of quizzing together as well.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And you quiz in the church or outside the church or where?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Um...- During the boring hymns you just...
0:01:16 > 0:01:17THEY LAUGH
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- ..answer other questions.- Yeah, we just pop out and like... Yeah. No.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23No, no. Sometimes the church will run quiz nights which we attend.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Also, there is a local pub which also has quiz nights there
0:01:26 > 0:01:28which we go along to as well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Have you worked out how to play them?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Peter has the spreadsheets. - Right.- So...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I've pulled together some statistics on them.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I heard a groan. I don't know who it was from there.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40They don't like spreadsheets.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42They've actually had quite a bad history with people
0:01:42 > 0:01:44with spreadsheets. So good luck.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:46 > 0:01:48for our Challengers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53the prize money rolls over to the next show, as you know.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, Quiztians, the Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58So that means £2,000 is on the table if you beat them.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Would you like to try? ALL:- Yes.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Let's get out the spreadsheet.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08THEY LAUGH
0:02:08 > 0:02:09We spoke about this, didn't we?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Yeah. Uh-huh.- If it comes up first...- I think that's a good idea.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Whoever is more confident, Andrew or Nathan.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- So I think we... I'll take that. - Andrew.- Andrew, yeah?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- OK, Andrew.- Andrew.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22You're the most well travelled, are you?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Um, it was my degree subject. Not that that counts for very much.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27That does. Could be handy.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30OK, Andrew against which Egghead? You can have any one of the five.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Who looks as if they've never been anywhere?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34THEY LAUGH
0:02:34 > 0:02:36You can remember your spreadsheet?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Let's bring back the spreadsheet. Um..
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- I think CJ didn't do too well.- OK.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46No, wait. No. Either him or Chris.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Chris.- Chris instead. - We'll go for Chris please.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51OK, CJ struggles, famously, with English geography.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53But Chris struggles...
0:02:53 > 0:02:57You struggle a bit if it's not on a train line, Chris, don't you?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Yeah, yeah.- OK.- Just nail down two bits of steel and I'll be there.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03That was like a kind of British Rail announcement.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04It was delayed about a minute.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08So Andrew from Quiztians versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10To ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12please go to our famous Question Room.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15So Geography, Andrew.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18And your choice, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19I'll go first please.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Here is your first question. Good luck.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Which of these countries uses the lira as its official currency?
0:03:32 > 0:03:33OK, so...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I know it's not Denmark.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39And neither is it Austria.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I'm certain that's Turkey.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Turkey is the answer. Well done.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45You got it, Andrew. First one to you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Turkey is the answer. Chris, your question.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50What is the approximate population of Vietnam?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Relatively small nation.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Wouldn't be 390 million.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04There is not that many large cities to bump the population up.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06So I doubt it would be 90 million.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I'll go with 9 million.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12OK, that's a face cos I saw the Eggs suddenly look very certain.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14What did you think it was, Eggs?
0:04:14 > 0:04:15- 90.- I thought it was 90.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Yeah, it is 90, Chris.- Oh.
0:04:18 > 0:04:2090 million is the answer, Chris.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Andrew, this is good.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23In fact, we could stop the game here, you are in the lead.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26See if you can keep the lead and then you win. This is how it works.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Simple.- Yeah.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33The Ozark Plateau, a highland region of around 50,000 square miles
0:04:33 > 0:04:35is a feature of which continent?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40OK.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42It's not something I've ever heard of.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47But I don't recall associating it with North America.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Or Africa.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I would hazard a guess as to Asia.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I know there are some high up plateaus in Asia.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- So I'll go Asia, please. - Asia is your answer.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Anyone on your team know? Or is he right?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02We had no idea.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Yeah, I think this is kind of the sort of thing Eggs know.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Eggies?- North America. - North America.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Sorry, it's North America.- OK.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Chris, your chance to get on the board.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16On mainland Europe, France shares borders with how many
0:05:16 > 0:05:17European countries?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Uh... Let's have a count.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Spain.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Andorra. Monaco.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Italy. Switzerland.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Germany.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35And Belgium.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39That makes seven. One I've forgotten. Must be eight.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I like the way you did that. Eight is right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46OK, Andrew, he's equal with you now.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47OK.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51The Straight of Malacca is a waterway linking which oceans?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- The Straight of Malacca? - The Straight of Malacca.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02So let's narrow some down.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Atlantic and Indian...
0:06:04 > 0:06:08No, I don't think it would be those.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Because I don't think they touch.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I don't think Indian and Pacific either
0:06:14 > 0:06:17cos they kind of run into one another.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'll have to narrow it down. Hazard a guess as to...
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Pacific and Atlantic.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Indian and Pacific is the answer, Andrew.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Chris, for the round.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Which of these designs features on the national flag of Lichtenstein?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It's not a kingdom.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42It's a grand duchy. So it wouldn't be a crown.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I doubt it would be a dagger.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46It's got a shield in the centre, so it's a shield.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- No, it's a crown, Chris.- Is it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Yeah.- For a grand duchy?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53It would be a ducal coronet, not a crown.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Maybe the crown was borrowed.- Maybe.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59OK, so we go to Sudden Death. One point each.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Andrew, you managed to squeak through there.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03But it can end quickly now.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- I don't give you alternatives.- OK.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Mount Tambora, which exploded in 1815 leading to the
0:07:10 > 0:07:16deaths of over 70,000 people, is a volcano in which country?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm going to go for Indonesia.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Indonesia is quite right.- Thank you.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Quizzing well.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Chris, to stay in.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30In physical geography, edaphology is the study of the influence of what
0:07:30 > 0:07:32on living things?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36It's spelled E-D-A-P-H-O-L-O-G-Y.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I can't get any handle on that at all. Um...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Influence of what on living things...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46It can only be climate.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48The answer is the soil. Well done, Andrew.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49- You are through.- Thank you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51That was good.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Wowee, you held your nerve there against Big Chris,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56who has been knocked out. Andrew will be in the final.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Please come back to us and we will play the second round.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02So, Quiztians, you're doing well.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Well done, Andrew.- Thank you.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08No brains lost from the Challengers. The Eggheads are one man down.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09And the next subject is Politics.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Who would like this?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Should I just go?- Yeah. Oliver has got a degree in politics.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16We are getting all the degrees out today.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Actually, he's got a masters in politics.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Fantastic. Oliver against which Egg?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23And it can't be Chris.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I'm trying to think who we had for Politics. I've got a feeling...
0:08:26 > 0:08:28They were all about 60-odd percent, weren't they?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I've got a feeling CJ didn't do too well on politics, actually.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- I'm happy with whatever you choose. Let's go CJ.- OK, yeah.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35He's going to go for CJ.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39OK, so Oliver from the Quiztians on Politics against CJ.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41The legend of the Eggheads
0:08:41 > 0:08:43in his own...in his own head.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47To ensure there is no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Oliver versus CJ on Politics.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53And your choice, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I'll go first please.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Oliver, here is your first question, good luck.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Which of these countries is a permanent member of the
0:09:03 > 0:09:05United Nations Security Council?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I would definitely say it's not Peru or Saudi Arabia.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14So I'm going to go with China.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16China is correct.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21CJ, the period between late 1978 and early 1979
0:09:21 > 0:09:25when trade unions rebelled against James Callaghan's strict public
0:09:25 > 0:09:28sector pay rise policies is commonly known as the Winter of what?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It's the Winter of Discontent.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Quoted from what?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Some guy Bill, I think.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Discontent is right. Back to you, Oliver.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Who became the first female prime minister of Canada in 1993?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I'm not sure about this one.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I've definitely heard of Julia Gillard.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58So I think I'm going to go with that.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Let's go Julia Gillard.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Yes, you have heard of her
0:10:01 > 0:10:04because she's a more recent leader from a different country.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07From, I believe, Australia.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Kim Campbell is the answer.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13So one each. CJ could take the lead if he gets this right.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17In which year did the Minister of Agriculture, John Gummer,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21encourage his daughter to eat a beef burger in front of the
0:10:21 > 0:10:25press in an attempt to reassure the public that British beef was safe?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Oh, my. When was it?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It can't be '98 because he was Conservative
0:10:34 > 0:10:36and Labour was in by then.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I'm just trying to think if he was under Major or Thatcher.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I actually thought it was about '92
0:10:41 > 0:10:43so I'm actually stuck between the two.
0:10:46 > 0:10:471990.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Is right. 1990.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Eggheads two, Challengers one.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Oliver, you need this one now.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Robert C Byrd, who died in 2010,
0:10:57 > 0:11:01served as a US Senator for how many years?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I know he served for a very long time. I'm going to go...
0:11:09 > 0:11:12..at the high-end of that. I'm going to go 51 or 71.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Going to the Senate.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18He'd have to have been very young to have done 71 years.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Let's go with 51.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Well done. 51 is the right answer.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26OK, CJ, this for the round.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31The Eaton affair, spelled E-A-T-O-N, led to the effective
0:11:31 > 0:11:35dissolution of which American president's Cabinet in 1831?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Um...
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Unfortunately, I don't know...
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I've only got the vaguest recollection of the name.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I'm just going to have to do this on the dates.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49It's too late for Adams.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Could be either Pierce or Jackson on the dates cos
0:11:52 > 0:11:57they both could have either started early or started a little later.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Now, Andrew Jackson.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Jackson was a war hero so I will guess at Franklin Pierce.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Franklin Pierce is the wrong answer.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's Andrew Jackson.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09We go to Sudden Death, Oliver.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12What does the letter R
0:12:12 > 0:12:16stand for in the abbreviation of the government department HMRC?
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Revenue.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Revenue is right cos it's Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Well done. CJ.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27The MP John Whittingdale, born in 1959,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30is a member of which political party?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I haven't heard of him so there is no point thinking about it.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I'll just get it. Conservatives.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36John Whittingdale is a Conservative.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40You're... I was going to say right but that's...stretching it.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42OK, Oliver. Sorry about that.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Sudden Death, we're still on. Keep at it.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Which American politician who died in 2009 was
0:12:48 > 0:12:53known in his latter years as the Lion of the Senate?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56It's one of the Kennedys and I can never remember...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Is it Robert Kennedy?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03No, he was assassinated in the '60s.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05It's Ted Kennedy.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Oh!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08OK, CJ, this for the round.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12The think tank co-founded by Dr Madsen Pirrie in the 1970s
0:13:12 > 0:13:16which promotes libertarianism and free market policies
0:13:16 > 0:13:19is named after which Scottish economist?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I know the name of a Scottish economist.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25And I'm fairly sure it's a think tank.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27So I'll have to go for Adam Smith.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Adam Smith is the right answer.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30You've taken the round, CJ. Well done.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Sorry, Oliver, but you played really well there. My goodness.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I'm sorry that Kennedy just escaped you at the end.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37It happens all the time. Under pressure.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40You were beaten by our Egghead. You won't be in the final.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44CJ will. Come back to us and we'll see what happens in the next round.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48It's quite a game, this. The Quiztians have lost a brain now.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50The Eggheads have lost a brain already.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53And we play on with the subject of Sport.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Pete.- I think that's Pete. - That's your round.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Out of the means that we're left, I think I'm the...
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- You're the one.- ..best choice.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04What does the spreadsheet say?
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Judith, wasn't it?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Judith did surprisingly well, actually.- Really?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Yeah, people often target her for Sport.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Barry?- Yeah?- Yeah, OK. We'll take Barry on.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17- Oh.- OK.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Look at that, Judith, you see?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Your reputation on Sport is starting to just get a bit of traction.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29So, Peter from the Quiztians versus Barry from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Please go to the Question Room.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34On Sport, Peter, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Here we go with your first question.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Which of these footballers has scored the most goals for England?
0:14:48 > 0:14:49OK.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51It's not Gary Lineker.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I believe that Wayne Rooney recently passed Bobby Charlton's
0:14:55 > 0:14:58goal-scoring record for England with a penalty.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00So I will go for Wayne Rooney.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03And you are right. Wayne Rooney it is.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Barry, which tennis player did Steffi Graf marry in 2001?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14She married Andre Agassi.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16She did indeed. Agassi it was.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Andre Agassi it was.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Peter, the Rugby Union international Courtney Lawes usually
0:15:22 > 0:15:24plays in which position?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Courtney Lawes, a very tall man. Big, strong man.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34So he doesn't play on the front row. He's not a prop, not a hooker.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35He's a lock.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Lock is right. Confident.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39OK, Barry.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Which was the first American city to host a summer Olympic Games?
0:15:46 > 0:15:471904. St Louis.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Well done. St Louis it is.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Wow, you are cracking on here, you two.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Question three.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Peter, which country topped the final medal table
0:15:58 > 0:16:02at the World Athletics Championships for the first time in 2015?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Ooh.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12I didn't follow this as closely as I usually do or now wish I had.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I've got a niggling feeling...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Obviously, Kenya and Ethiopia
0:16:16 > 0:16:20will always do well in the long-distance events.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Jamaica will do well at the sprints. I've...
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I think I'm going to go with my instinct
0:16:26 > 0:16:28which is Kenya.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Kenya is right.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32THEY LAUGH
0:16:32 > 0:16:35You made mincemeat out of those three questions. OK.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Barry, to stay in.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41In 2015, which England batsman became only the seventh man
0:16:41 > 0:16:45in the history of international cricket to be given out
0:16:45 > 0:16:46for obstructing the field?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Oh, dear. I really should know this.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Cos cricket is a sport that I thoroughly enjoy.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00And I cannot, for the life of me, remember who this was.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I'm afraid I'm just going to guess. I'll go for Ben Stokes.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Ben Stokes is right.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06HE LAUGHS
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- I'm sorry about that... - Was that really a guess?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10LAUGHTER
0:17:10 > 0:17:12OK, we're going to Sudden Death again.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Here is your question, Peter.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19The Toronto Raptors are a team in which sport?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23My instinct tells me it's basketball.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Can't think of any reason not to go with that.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28So I'll go for basketball.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Yes, the only Canadian team in the NBA. It's basketball.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Well done. Sudden Death. Barry, your question.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Which former rugby league international was
0:17:36 > 0:17:38a controversial inclusion in England's
0:17:38 > 0:17:43final 31-man squad for the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Oh, goodness.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Here's something else that I watched and I saw the controversy.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51And again, the name escapes me.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Can I come up with anything?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56No, I'm not going to come up with something.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass on this one.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Do you know the answer, Peter?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01- Sam Burgess?- Yeah.- Oh!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- What a blow.- Of course it is.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06So, Barry, you're knocked out.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Peter, well done. You're playing well, your team.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10This makes it all the more exciting for us.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13So come back to us and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Challengers in the lead now.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20The Quiztians have lost one brain, the Eggheads have lost two.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22And the next subject is Film & TV.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24So who would like this?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- That's going to be me. Yeah. - OK, Siobhan. Against which Egghead?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Depends if we want to play aggressive.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32We could go for Kevin, couldn't we?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34THEY LAUGH
0:18:34 > 0:18:37If we... We could. We've got some into the final already.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- We could maybe go for the jugular here.- And attack.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It's up to you. It's your choice.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- It's up to you.- Right. OK.- Your decision.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Do you know what, I am going to go with Kevin.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Have fun with it.- Yeah.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Oh, right. He loves to get into that question booth.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Siobhan, the skipper of the Quiztians, versus Kevin,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58known as the Grandmaster, from the Eggheads.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01To ensure there's no conferring... I know how much you like that.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Please take your positions.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Good luck, Siobhan. Up against Kevin.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- Yeah.- Film & TV, Siobhan. Do you want to go first or second?
0:19:11 > 0:19:12First, please.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Good luck.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Which of these TV detective shows is primarily set in Scotland?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I don't think it's Lewis
0:19:27 > 0:19:32because I think that's based kind of down in Cambridge area.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Taggart and Bergerac, I...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39haven't really seen much of, but...
0:19:39 > 0:19:44I'm going to go with Bergerac cos that sounds a bit Scottish.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47OK, your team were jolted by that. Team?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- I think it's Taggart. - It's definitely Taggart.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50It's Taggart.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53SCOTTISH ACCENT: Cos that's a Scottish sounding word.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Terrible accent by me.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Taggart it was.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Kevin, your question.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Marlon Brando won his first Oscar for his performance
0:20:02 > 0:20:05in the 1954 film On The WHAT?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12THEY LAUGH
0:20:12 > 0:20:15That's conjuring up all kinds of pictures there.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Marlon Brando is Blakey. I can see... Yeah.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Anyway, it's On The Waterfront.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Yeah, On The Waterfront it is.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Question setters having fun today.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29OK, Siobhan, your second question.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Who plays the roles of both Ronnie and Reggie Kray
0:20:33 > 0:20:35in the 2015 film Legend?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Legend. I think Tom Hardy had a film out recently with that title.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47And I remember seeing the film poster with, like, two Tom Hardys.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49So I'll go Tom Hardy.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Yeah, you're quite right. Tom Hardy it is. Good.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Back to you, Kevin.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57The singer Ella Henderson found fame on which TV show?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Needless to say, I don't watch any of them. So...
0:21:06 > 0:21:07I'll start ruling out.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10My instinct is telling me it's not Britain's Got Talent.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12But it could be.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I don't think she's an X Factor winner.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21But then sometimes those who placed but didn't actually win it
0:21:21 > 0:21:24have gone on to bigger fame.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I'm going to say The Voice.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- It's X Factor.- It is? OK.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Yes!
0:21:33 > 0:21:35So you're equal after two questions.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- The Taggart one was a shame there. - If only I'd thought about it...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- You could've been on the verge of knocking him out now.- Yeah.
0:21:41 > 0:21:47Who plays the title role in the 2015 TV series Dr Foster in which a small
0:21:47 > 0:21:51town GP begins to suspect that her husband has been having an affair?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Oh, great(!)
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I've never seen Dr Foster.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I couldn't reduce it down.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06So I'll just have to take a shot in the dark
0:22:06 > 0:22:10and go with maybe Suranne Jones.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12BARRY LAUGHS Nicely done.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- EVERYONE LAUGHS - Ah!
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Suranne Jones is right. She was great as well.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20OK, well, this has been backwards and forwards, this one.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Kevin, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Which of these recent films took over 1 billion
0:22:25 > 0:22:27at the worldwide box office?
0:22:31 > 0:22:32I don't think...
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I'm assuming Alice In Wonderland refers to the Tim Burton version.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I don't think it's that.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38For that amount,
0:22:38 > 0:22:42and the fact that it's spawned or is spawning sequels...
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I think I would have to go for Maleficent.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Oh, dear.- Eggheads?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50It's Alice In Wonderland.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Alice In Wonderland is the answer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Kevin, sorry.- Alice In Wonderland?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Yeah. So you've done it.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00That was a gamble and it's paid off. You've knocked him out.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03How about that, Siobhan? The Force is with you.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- The Force is with me. - I'll have to come to your church.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08THEY LAUGH
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Yeah, OK.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11So, listen, well done. You're in the final.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14And if you come back to us, both of you, we will play that final round.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20It is time for the final round. What a great contest so far.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Amazing. As always, this is going to be General Knowledge.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-head won't be
0:23:26 > 0:23:28allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31So, Oliver from the Quiztians, but also Barry, Chris
0:23:31 > 0:23:36and Kevin from the Eggheads, please leave the studio.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39How often does it end like this?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Siobhan, Peter, Nathan and Andrew, well done so far.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47You're playing to just clinch it and win the Quiztians £2,000.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49CJ and Judith, oh, my goodness.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51You're playing for something money can't buy,
0:23:51 > 0:23:52the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55And to dig this lot out of the hole they've created.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- You are allowed to confer.- OK.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07So, Quiztians, the question is, can you, with your four brains,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08defeat these two?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10They are very good brains over there.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Would you like to go first or second?
0:24:12 > 0:24:13We'll go first, please.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19OK, Nathan and team, here is your question.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21What is the national flower of Wales?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- OK, that's daffodil.- It's definitely daffodil.- Daffodil.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28OK, we're going with daffodil.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Daffodil is the right answer. Well done.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Eggheads, CJ, Judith.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Which of these mythological creatures was a sea monster?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's Kraken.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Kraken is the right answer.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Sounds like a breakfast cereal.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Your question.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Who was emperor of Japan from 1926 to 1989?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I have no idea on this one.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59What would your hunch be?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Akihito.- You think Akihito?- Yeah.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Is that was you were going to say?- No.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I would've thought Hirohito.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- My gut says Hirohito.- OK.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- Why are you saying that?- I don't know. Just familiar.- It sounds...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Why are you thinking Akihito?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Cos I think, again, he was one of the emperors.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- If you feel reasonably confident... - Yeah.- Shall we go with you on that?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Cos I don't. - He's definitely a Japanese emperor?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- I'm pretty sure.- Yeah.- OK.- OK.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- We'll go with...- Akihito.- Yeah.- OK.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Happy with that?- Yeah. Go for it, yeah.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33OK, we're not too sure but we think it could be Akihito.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35OK.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36It's wrong.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- It's Hirohito.- Oh!- That's all right.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40OK, Eggs.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Your chance to take the lead.
0:25:43 > 0:25:49A sheet of A4 paper is 297mm long and how many millimetres wide?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53It's 210.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55CJ says it's 210.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- What's your answer?- 210.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59210 is the right answer.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00So you've taken the lead.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03That means you must get this one right, team,
0:26:03 > 0:26:04after your sterling performance.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Here is your question.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Make Me, released in September 2015,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14is the 20th entry in a series of novels by which author?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Any thoughts?
0:26:23 > 0:26:24- Make Me.- Make Me.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31It doesn't sound like Andy McNab. I mean, he's sort of...
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Is he war?- War-based, yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Lee Child has written a lot of novels.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Maybe up to 20. - I haven't even heard of him.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I'd put it between Lee Child and Conn Iggulden.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I hadn't heard of Conn Iggulden.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44- I hadn't either.- No.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Which sort of makes me think that might well be the answer.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Yeah.- Yeah.- Lee Child. What sort of, do you know what sort of...?
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Crime, I think.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Crime. Make Me. - That could be a crime, potentially.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56That could be crime.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Make me make a crime. I don't know.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00He might not exclusively be a crime writer.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Should we just go with the end one then?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- This hasn't gone well for us, has it?- Maybe Conn Iggulden.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07That...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I... Yeah. I...
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Make Me, yeah, it's logical. It doesn't sound like a criminal title.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16OK.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- OK.- That would be my thinking.- Yeah.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22OK, we're going to guess completely.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26And we think it could be Conn Iggulden.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29OK, you missed out Andy McNab but that was a good policy.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31He does more kind of inside the SAS stuff.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33The answer is Lee Child. THEY GROAN
0:27:33 > 0:27:34I'm sorry, guys.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Having played so well.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39There is no way back in the final round.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42And we say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50On the size of a page of A4. There we are.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- That's how you did it. - But such a good team.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- What a performance. - Great team!- Bad luck.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57You two have never been beaten when you've been together.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59We've only been together once.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01You make quite an operation, the two of you.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Brilliant. But bad luck. Commiserations, Quiztians.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- Ah, we did it for fun.- There was a surge so powerful going on there.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09I think we peaked too early.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Well, the spreadsheet was very...
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Whatever was on that spreadsheet, it's very, very good.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19But they struggled today. You really made them work for it.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22So, well done. It does mean that you won't be going home with the £2,000,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Eggheads, congratulations. Slightly bedraggled outfit this afternoon.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32But there we are. You're on track. You won.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:35 > 0:28:37have the brains to finally turn it around and beat them.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41£3,000 will be on the table. Till then, goodbye.
