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 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain -
0:00:30 > 0:00:32they are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Knotty Knitters.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Now, as you may have guessed,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40this team all share a passion for knitting
0:00:40 > 0:00:43and regularly swap yarns - see what I did there? -
0:00:43 > 0:00:46at the same knitting group in Glasgow.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Audrey, and I'm a retired teaching auxiliary.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello, my name's Andrea, and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Ellen, and I'm a retired primary school teacher.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Beverly,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02and I'm a retired police community support officer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Peta, and I'm a field archaeologist.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So, Audrey, team, welcome. Good to see you here.- Thank you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Tell us about the Knotty Knitters.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Well, the Knotty Knitters are the Glasgow Knit 'n Stitch,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17and we're a group of knitters of various ages and abilities,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19and we're 1,000 strong.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20We've been going for ten years.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23We don't all meet at the same time, but we meet
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and we have a jolly good time as well.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We knit, we stitch, we drink coffee, we eat cake,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30and we put the world to rights.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32So, and do you all knit the same kind of things?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You knit scarves and jumpers, or what?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Mainly we're all knitting socks and scarves.- LAUGHING: Yeah.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And we think of grannies, click, click, click, knitting,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- but it's not, is it?- No. - It's all ages now.- No.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46All ages, and we have a chap that comes to the knitting as well.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49And we have older people, younger people -
0:01:49 > 0:01:51we've even had children at some point.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53They would even be welcome, this lot over here, would they?
0:01:53 > 0:01:54You'd just take anyone?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Yeah. Teach them a stitch or two. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Well, good luck in the quiz against the Eggheads here.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:01 > 0:02:02up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07the price money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11So, Knotty Knitters, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games,
0:02:11 > 0:02:12so they're performing rather well,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14and that is handy for you,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18because it means £13,000 is on the table for you to win.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- So, do you want to crack on?- Yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Knit one, purl one, is it?- Mm-hm.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24OK, maybe we can purl five.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Who would like Science?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Who's going to go for Science? Are you heading for Science?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- That was you, wasn't it? - Yeah?- Beverly?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Might as well give it a try. - Don't go yet, Beverly.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Beverly, tell us which Egghead you'd like to take on.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I think I'll take on CJ, please.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Right, so Beverly from Knotty Knitters
0:02:44 > 0:02:48versus the man whose a complete knotty...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- A complete what?- ..nitwit. THEY LAUGH
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'm too slow for this.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54CJ, let's just call him.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Please go to our Question Room now.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Good luck, Beverly. Against CJ.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- How are you feeling? - Fine, thank you.- Good.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- And confident?- Erm...so-so.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10OK. So, it's Science, and would you like to go first or second?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11I'll go second, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17CJ, first question to you, then.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21In 2014, scientific research debunked the myth
0:03:21 > 0:03:24that which birds are attracted to shiny objects?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Well, this part of important research must have passed me by,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35but traditionally magpies are attracted to shiny things,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37so I will assume it's magpies.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Magpies is the right answer. Well done.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Beverly, your question. Which sport did
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Alan Shepard play when he landed on the moon in 1971?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Well, it's unlikely he would've played tennis
0:03:52 > 0:03:54since he would've needed a partner.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58He wouldn't have had the facilities, I imagine, to play snooker,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00so I'll opt for golf.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03HE CHUCKLES Great process of elimination there.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05You're quite right. Yeah, the snooker table,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I don't know how that would've worked, really.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Sports you can't play on the moon. Number three.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12CJ, your question.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Entomophobia is a fear of what?
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Could you just make...?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Just to be sure, could you just spell the root of that?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25E-N-T-O-M-O-P-H-O-B-I-A. Entomophobia.
0:04:25 > 0:04:32Well, ento- is the usual word relating to insects,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34so you've got entomology, which is the study of insects,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36so I will assume it's insects.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Insects is quite right. Two to you.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Back to you, Beverly, to catch up.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42What was the approximate length of a Tyrannosaurus rex
0:04:42 > 0:04:46from its nose to the tip of its tail?
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Well, I imagine it was much bigger than six metres.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I think there's one in the Natural History Museum,
0:04:59 > 0:05:00a skeleton,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03so I'll go for 18 metres.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Very big. CJ, is she right, do you think?
0:05:05 > 0:05:06I certainly wouldn't have gone for that one.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I'm not sure between the other two, but 18 metres seems far too big.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Yeah, 18's too big. Six is too small, as you said, Beverly.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14It's the middle one, actually - it's 12.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Now, because you allowed CJ to go first, he has the initiative.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20If you get this right, CJ, you're in the final round.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22The fuel in the solid rocket boosters
0:05:22 > 0:05:26that powered NASA's Space Shuttle into orbit
0:05:26 > 0:05:29is a powdered form of which element?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37There's one of those there that's immediately jumping out at me,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39but whether it's right or not, I don't know.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I certainly don't think it's sulphur.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46I mean, the one that immediately jumped out at me was potassium,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48and that certainly...
0:05:50 > 0:05:53..erm, seems quite flammable when you set alight to it -
0:05:53 > 0:05:55it...does spark.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I mean, aluminium surely would be too expensive, anyway,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and maybe even too heavy, even in powdered form.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Really don't know this, but I'm going to go for potassium.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- The element was aluminium.- Ah!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Or aluminum, as the Americans say.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17So, a chance to get things equal here, Beverly.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Your question.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Got to get this right to stay in.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23John Kemp Starley from Coventry
0:06:23 > 0:06:27is credited with pioneering which mode of transport
0:06:27 > 0:06:29in the 19th century?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I'm pretty sure it wasn't a motorboat or an aeroplane.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Something in the back of my memory makes me think it was a bicycle.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44And bicycle is correct.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Well done. So, two each.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Clawed your way back, Beverly - that's good.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We go to Sudden Death.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Get's a bit harder, as you know, CJ -
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I don't give you alternatives.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Which scientist, a pioneer of antiseptic surgery,
0:06:57 > 0:07:02was president of the Royal Society from 1895 to 1900?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Do I know anybody apart from Edward Jenner?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Hm, dear.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12No is the simple answer. Edward Jenner.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13No, it was Joseph Lister.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Beverly, for the round,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18the symbol for which unit of length
0:07:18 > 0:07:23is a capital A with a little circle over it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Never seen that symbol for acre, which is what springs to mind.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Can't think of anything that begins with A.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Erm...
0:07:34 > 0:07:35No, sorry.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Is that a pass?- Got to pass on that.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- You know it, CJ?- Angstrom.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Angstrom is the answer.- Oh...
0:07:42 > 0:07:44CJ, your question. What is the usual name
0:07:44 > 0:07:47for a substance used in vaccinations
0:07:47 > 0:07:51that is capable of causing the production of an antibody?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I don't know. Virus?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56- Antigen.- Oh.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Beverly, your question. A dilute solution of
0:07:59 > 0:08:03acetic acid produced by fermentation,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06approximately 5% by volume,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08is better known by what name?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11And if you get this, you're in the final round.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Vinegar.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Vinegar is the right answer. Well done.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- You're in the final round.- Phew!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Knocked out CJ on Science.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Oh, CJ!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22So, well done, Beverly - you're in the final.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Please come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Famous victory there, Beverly. Well done.- Thank you.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32You've got the Knotty Knitters off to an un-knotty start.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Fantastic. The knitting needles are flashing.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37So, you've not lost a brain.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39The Eggheads have lost one - the unmentionable.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41The next subject is Sport.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Oh...- Oh, I see you wincing.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46THEY GIGGLE Who would like this?
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Well, what did we decide?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50If it was Sport, it was going to... Or you were going to take it.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Or me. What do you want? - I don't know.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Go on, take it.- I don't mind. OK, I'll go for Sport.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- I'll do Sport.- Andrea? OK, against which Egghead, Andrea?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Which Egghead am I going against? - I don't know about Lisa.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- I don't know if she's any good at Sport.- I don't know.- Because...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- I'll choose her anyway. Lisa, please.- OK.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09So, it's going to be Andrea from Knotty Knitters
0:09:09 > 0:09:11versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14And if you would like to go to our Question Room, we'll crack on.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18So, Andrea, I gather you're a huge Elvis fan.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Yes, I am. Very much so. Since I was about nine or ten.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I was just going to say we're about the same age,
0:09:23 > 0:09:24so where did that come from?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Because it's a little bit before our time.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I watched GI Blues, I think it was, when I was nine,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32and I thought, "Mm, I like his singing, I like the look of him."
0:09:32 > 0:09:34So, my friend gave me a record token,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36and that was my very first LP that I ever bought
0:09:36 > 0:09:38was GI Blues' soundtrack.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Oh, and you must have been heartbroken when he died so young.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I was indeed. My plan was to go and see him in concert in Las Vegas,
0:09:44 > 0:09:45but I didn't quite manage.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49And I gather you have made do with knitting an Elvis?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I have, yes. I've knitted an Elvis.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54But I did... For my 50th birthday,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58my partner, James, took me to see the virtual Elvis concert.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Oh, OK. Where he appears on the screen?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Or is he actually a hologram?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03No, he's on the screen
0:10:03 > 0:10:05with his original backing group and singers and things.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- It's superb.- Sounds great. OK.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09So Sport, Andrea, is the round,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and would you like to go first or second?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Oh, I'll go first, please.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Here we go with your first question.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22In rugby union, how many points are awarded for a penalty?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I'm not really very sure, cos I don't watch rugby,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31although I should cos my nephews played it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I think, for a penalty, I'm going to go for three.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Three is right.- Oh! - Well done.- Thank you.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39OK. Lisa.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Which country won the 2014 Men's Football World Cup?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Do you know, my brain's just gone into meltdown,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51and that's just absolutely the sort of thing
0:10:51 > 0:10:53you should know straightaway.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Erm, Spain won in 2010,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Argentina in... No, it's Germany.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00It is Germany. Yeah, you're quite right. Well done.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Over to you, Andrea.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Which 21-year-old golfer won his second major of the year
0:11:06 > 0:11:08at the 2015 US Open?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Erm, well, sadly for Dustin, I've never heard of him,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18so could very well be him, but I don't know.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And I've heard of Rory McIlroy, who was injured,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23so I'm not sure if that was for the US,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26but I have a feeling it might've been Jordan Spieth.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28You're right. Golfing prodigy Jordan Spieth.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Well done. Two out of two for you.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Lisa, over to you. Which Englishman
0:11:32 > 0:11:37won silver medals in the 400m and the 4X400m relay
0:11:37 > 0:11:40at the 1996 Olympic Games?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I think he used to run the last leg
0:11:46 > 0:11:48because he was the Olympic silver medallist.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Certainly, Akabusi and Regis were in that big '90s team,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55but I think the only individual medallist in the 400 there
0:11:55 > 0:11:56is Roger Black.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Roger Black is correct.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00OK, Andrea, in 2012, which veteran rider
0:12:00 > 0:12:02won an Olympic gold medal
0:12:02 > 0:12:06as part of the British show-jumping team on his horse Big Star?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Again, I don't know anything about this at all.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I do think David Broome is quite a long time ago,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18so I don't know if it would be him.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20It could've been.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23And I've heard of Nick Skelton.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I've not heard of John Whitaker, so I'll say Nick Skelton.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Nick Skelton is correct.- Oh!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I love your guessing - it's just fantastic...
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- I mean, no disrespect, I mean... - It is just guessing.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yet, but it's fantastic.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37So, three out of three.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Lisa on the ropes,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42or whatever your favourite sporting analogy is.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Mike Hailwood was a leading name in which sport in the 1960s?
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Mike Hailwood.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53SHE GROANS
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Can you spell Hailwood for me, please, Jeremy?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00H-A-I-L-W-O-O-D.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03OK, that makes it slightly easier, I think.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- SHE CHUCKLES - She says.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Now, my first connection was with Mike Hailwood, with motorsport,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12but now I'm wondering if I've mixed him up with Mike Hawthorn.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Is it snooker? Is it snooker? Is it snooker?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Don't know. I'll go motorcycling.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Motorcycling is correct.- Oof!
0:13:23 > 0:13:25So, we've got quite a bit of Sudden Death going on here.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28LISA SIGHS Equal after three questions.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Again, Andrea, Sudden Death -
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I don't give you alternatives, a bit harder.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Here's your first question.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40The footballer Diego Costa joined which Premier League team in 2014?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I have absolutely...not a clue.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm not even sure I know of very many Premier League football teams.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Let's go for...
0:13:52 > 0:13:53What one do I know?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Let's go for Liverpool.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Well, Dave will know this.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Chelsea.- Chelsea.- Oh, right.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03OK, Lisa, Sudden Death. Andrea's got one wrong.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06If you get this right, you're in the final round, and here it is.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09For what does the letter H stand in the name of
0:14:09 > 0:14:12the major North American professional sports league
0:14:12 > 0:14:15called the NHL?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17So, you've got the NFL,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21which is your American approximation of football,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23you've got your NBA, which is your basketball,
0:14:23 > 0:14:28and you've got your NHL, which I think is hockey.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's the National Hockey League - you're quite right.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32You've taken the round, Lisa. Well done.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Sorry, Andrea - knocked out there.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Please, both of you, come back to us.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Rejoin your teams and we'll play on.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40So, as it stands,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Knotty Knitters have lost a brain from the final round,
0:14:43 > 0:14:44the Eggheads have lost a brain as well.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47We're evenly poised here, and the knitting is speeding up.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49The next subject is Geography.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51So, which knotty knicker, knitter would this?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53THEY CHUCKLE Knotty KNITTER would like this?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Peta, you're good at geography. - That's you, my dear.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Yeah, OK.- It has to be you.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- So, Knotty Knitter, Peta... - Yeah.- ..against which Egg?
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Against Pat.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05So, Peta from Knotty Knitters versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12So, Peta, you are well-travelled, I know.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I've been to one or two places, yeah.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Kyrgyzstan?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Yes. Central Asia.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I don't think that's come up before as a destination.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Was that business or pleasure?
0:15:22 > 0:15:26It was a youth development expedition back when I was 18.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- And you're an archaeologist now? - I am now, yeah.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Well, good luck in this round.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Digging for victory against Pat on Geography.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Do you want to go first and second? - I think I'll go second.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40So, Pat, this is yours.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43The Japanese flag features a red circle
0:15:43 > 0:15:44on a background of what colour?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It's a red circle on a white background.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51That is correct.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Peta, your question.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57The Mexican peso consists of 100 what?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05I'm trying to remember what the currency was when I was in Peru,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07but I think that's completely different.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I will say...centavos.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Centavos is quite right. Well done.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Pat, your question.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18The Wash is an inlet of the North Sea
0:16:18 > 0:16:21located between Norfolk and which other county?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Well, it's above Norfolk.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Suffolk is to the south,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Essex is to the south even further,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33so it must be Lincolnshire.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Lincolnshire is correct.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39So, two points to the Eggheads, one to you, Peta.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Your question.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44The names of how many US states begin with a vowel?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Erm...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I'll go down the middle. Ten.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Peta, sorry. I've got 12 down here. I'm afraid you're wrong.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00OK, Pat, your question, for the round.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Which is the only Central American country
0:17:02 > 0:17:04without a Caribbean coastline?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I think that's El Salvador.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13If you've got this right, you've taken the round.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Is he right, Eggs?- Yeah.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17El Salvador is. Well done, Pat - you're in the final.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Sorry, Peta. You got knocked out there.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22That's the way it goes sometimes.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24But don't worry - your team can still win.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Come back to us, and we'll play the next round.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32So, Knotty Knitters have lost two brains from the final round now.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34The Eggheads have still just lost the one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Last round before the final is Music.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Who would like this?- Ooh. - I'll take Music.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42OK, Audrey. Against which Egghead?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44And you can have either Dave or Kevin.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Kevin.- Oh, Kevin?!- Kevin, yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48OK, all right. He'll enjoy that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50So, it's Audrey from Knotty Knitters
0:17:50 > 0:17:53against Kevin, our Egghead, on Music.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Please go to our Question Room.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00OK, Audrey, if you get this round, you will have levelled it up.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- How are you feeling?- Er, fine, fine. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Is music your thing?- Yes, yes. - OK. OK.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Here we go.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18During which awards show did Madonna fall off the stage mid-performance
0:18:18 > 0:18:20in February 2015?
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Ooh...
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Oh, when you watch them, they all seem quite similar, don't they?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Erm... I'll disregard the Grammy Awards. Erm...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I think I'll go for the Brit Awards.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Yeah, you're absolutely right. Well done.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It was the Brits, the Brit Awards.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Kevin, your question. In which section
0:18:45 > 0:18:46of a traditional orchestra
0:18:46 > 0:18:48would the bassoons be located?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Bassoons are a woodwind instrument.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56They are woodwind.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59OK. Audrey.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Which song by The Jam includes the lines
0:19:02 > 0:19:04"Getting a cab and travelling on buses
0:19:04 > 0:19:07"Reading the graffiti about slashed-seat affairs"?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Ooh... Oh, I was never a Jam fan.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Erm... Sounds ominous.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I think I'll go for Town Called Malice.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22It's That's Entertainment.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Although there is a bit of malice in there, you're right.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26In fact, there's a quite a lot of malice in all their songs.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Yes, there was at the time. - Kevin, your question.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Bon Scott was the lead singer of which rock group
0:19:32 > 0:19:35from 1974 until 1980?
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Yes, he was one of those front men who met with an unfortunate demise.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46He was AC/DC.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47It was AC/DC. Yeah, very sad.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50It was a whole sort of Spinal Tap thing, wasn't it, of...
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Well, yeah, I think was alcoholic poisoning in his case.- Yeah.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Audrey, we've got the energy here.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Let's just get this one right, stay in and topple him
0:20:00 > 0:20:02on the next question.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Here it is.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Chandelier was a hit single in 2014
0:20:07 > 0:20:09for which Australian musician?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Ooh. Now, I've heard of Delta Goodrem and I've heard of Sia,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21but I've never heard of Iggy Azalea.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Sia's the girl that has her face covered, isn't she?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Erm, Delta Goodrem is more...
0:20:28 > 0:20:29middle-of-the-road, I would think.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I'll go for Sia.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33You're bang on, actually, Audrey. Well done.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36And it's great song as well. Sia, it is.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38So, you've got two out of three.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40We need to hope now that Kevin misses this one up.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Which Tchaikovsky ballet features the Waltz of the Snowflakes?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Er, I don't remember the Waltz of the Snowflakes, but...
0:20:53 > 0:20:56there's no good reason why that should be in Romeo and Juliet.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59In fact, he didn't do a ballet called Romeo and Juliet -
0:20:59 > 0:21:03he did a... I think he did an overture.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06So...I can't see any reason why it would be in Swan Lake,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09where as The Nutcracker does have lots of different...
0:21:09 > 0:21:13There's a whole suite of different little dances
0:21:13 > 0:21:17by a whole variety of animate and inanimate objects,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19so I'll say The Nutcracker.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21And it's Christmassy as well, I guess, yeah.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The Nutcracker is the right answer. The Waltz of the Snowflakes.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Kevin, you've taken the round on Music. Sorry, Audrey.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28You ran him very close there...
0:21:28 > 0:21:30But the skipper's been knocked out.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34And if you come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37So, this is what we have been playing towards -
0:21:37 > 0:21:39it is time for the final round,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:44 > 0:21:46won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49So Audrey, Andrea and Peta from Knotty Knitters
0:21:49 > 0:21:51and CJ from the Eggheads,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56So, Ellen and Beverly,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00you are playing to win the Knotty Knitters £13,000.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Eggheads, you're playing for something
0:22:02 > 0:22:04that money can't really buy, which is your reputation.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11You are allowed to confer.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17So, Knotty Knitters, the question is are your two brains able to...
0:22:17 > 0:22:19What's the analogy? To purl?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Stitch up. - ..to stitch up the four over here?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24There we are. We've got it.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Ellen, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I think we've decided that we'll go first, thank you, Jeremy.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34So, all the very best to you. Playing for £13,000. Here we go.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39Who plays Max in the 2015 film Mad Max - Fury Road?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- I don't know. - I have no earthly idea.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Do you anything about the film? - No.- Let me repeat the question.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Who plays Max in the 2015 film Mad Max - Fury Road?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Choose one.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Shall we just guess, and guess Andrew Garfield?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Have a guess?- Yeah.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07So, it's going to be an absolute guess -
0:23:07 > 0:23:09not even an educated guess -
0:23:09 > 0:23:12and we're going to go for Andrew Garfield.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Let's find out from the Eggs. Are they right?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15No, it's Tom Hardy.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Tom Hardy is the answer.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Remake of the famous one with Mel...
0:23:19 > 0:23:20- Gibson.- ..Gibson.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23OK. Eggs, your first question.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Felipe VI became king of which country in 2014?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Spain, isn't it? Are we all happy with Spain?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- After JC did one.- Yeah, Spain, yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38We're going to go for Spain, please, Jeremy.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Dave, the correct answer is Spain. Well done.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42So, they're ahead.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Hang on in there. Just...
0:23:45 > 0:23:47by our fingernails or whatever we need to use.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Who became the host of the US chat show
0:23:50 > 0:23:53The Late Late Show in 2015?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02I think... I had a feeling...it was James Corden.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Did you?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07There's something recently that Piers Morgan has been in.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11I mean, it's more likely to be Piers Morgan,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13but somewhere at the back of my mind,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I think, unlikely as it may sound...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- James Corden?- ..it was James Cordon.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- We'll go for that.- Are you sure?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Your instinct's been good up till now, yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23We'll go with Beverly's instinct, Jeremy -
0:24:23 > 0:24:25it's been sound up until now -
0:24:25 > 0:24:27and we'll go with James Corden.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30James Corden is your answer, and it's correct. Well done.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31- Well done, Beverly.- Well done.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33He went over to the States to ply his trade.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Which Spice Girl married
0:24:36 > 0:24:41the Red Bull Formula One boss Christian Horner in 2015?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Geri Halliwell?- Yes, it's Geri Halliwell.- Geri Halliwell, yeah?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51We believe that's Geri Halliwell.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53And CJ is nodding, so you must be right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Geri Halliwell is the right answer.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59So, they are ahead.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00You must get this one right
0:25:00 > 0:25:02because you slipped up on your first question.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04So, take your time here, ladies.
0:25:04 > 0:25:10In Greek mythology, the god Zeus appeared to Danae
0:25:10 > 0:25:12as a shower of what?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Do you think that's where diamond's from? Diamante...
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Danae... Yeah, that's a possibility.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Diamonds...- Yeah, Diam-ae, yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Do you think?- Yeah, there could be a link between that.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27We're thinking the word diamante
0:25:27 > 0:25:29could have come from...
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- WHISPERS:- But I think it's gold.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33So, we'll say diamonds?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Shall we? Are you happy with that?
0:25:35 > 0:25:40My instinct says gold, but let's go with diamonds.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41No. What does your instinct say?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44My instinct says gold,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47because, after all, you have to mine for diamonds.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48We'll go with gold.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Yeah, I mean,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51it's the person who was...
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Who he appeared to, so it's not Zeus that...
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It's not Zeus that would be linked to the diamonds -
0:25:59 > 0:26:01it would be the other person.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06- The other's Danae? - Yeah, I would go for gold or silver.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09OK, we'll go with gold. That was your first instinct.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- Sorry if I'm wrong. - No, it's all right.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- We'll go with gold, Jeremy. - So, your answer is gold?- Mm-hm.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Shall we check with the Eggheads? Eggheads?
0:26:17 > 0:26:18- Gold.- Yeah, you got it right.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Well done.- Well done to you.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- I'm so pleased. Well done. - Thank you, Jeremy.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Nicely done.- Thank you.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26OK, so you've got two out of three there.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29You just have to hope, fingers crossed, everything crossed now.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Thank you.- Knitting needles crossed.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- That's true.- Have to hope they get this one wrong.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Eggheads, how many official languages
0:26:37 > 0:26:39does South Africa have?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- 11.- 11?- 11. Yeah.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Definitely?- Yeah.- Yeah. 11? Yeah?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Happy with 11?- Want to run us through them all, Kevin?
0:26:49 > 0:26:50- Not really, no.- Fair enough.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53You'll be asked to in a minute. But you're going with 11?
0:26:53 > 0:26:54- I'm sure it's 11.- Yeah.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00OK, Kevin is sure that it's 11, Jeremy.
0:27:00 > 0:27:0211? I thought you might go with five.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Do you know them all? - I've seen the list.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07You know, it's going to have everything from...
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Obviously English is in there, Xhosa, Zulu, various other...
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Afrikaans.- Afrikaans should be there, you're right, yeah.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Well, if you've got it wrong,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19we play on and there's £13,000 on the table,
0:27:19 > 0:27:20but you have got it right,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- so we say congratulations, Eggheads. - Well done, Kevin.
0:27:23 > 0:27:2411 is the answer, and you have won.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I thought they would struggle with that.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35So did I! I hoped, I hoped they would.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I just thought there was going to be a battle over five and 11 there.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41No, I thought with all the tribal languages that...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Yes, there's a lot, yeah.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Well, thank you for playing. - Thanks you.- Enjoyed it.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Knotty Knitters, we all want to start knitting now, don't we?- Yeah.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Speak for yourself, I already do.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Of course you do. Of course you do. What have you knitted recently?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55I'm all right as long as it hasn't got sleeves in it,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58at which point it starts getting complicated.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Commiserations to our brilliant Challengers.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04This winning streak continues -
0:28:04 > 0:28:06becoming a little bit impressive now.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It does mean you won't be going home with the £13,000,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10so the money rolls over.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:16 > 0:28:18have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20£14,000 is what they'll be playing for.
