0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Arguably, the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And, yes, I would say you're looking fearsome.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Perky.- Perky? All right. Full of knowledge?
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Of course, yeah, that's the point, isn't it?- It is the point.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions, today,
0:00:45 > 0:00:46are The Bowler Hats.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Now, this team of friends from Greater Manchester all
0:00:48 > 0:00:53socialise in the Bowling Green pub in Chorlton. Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm Norman. I'm a retired tax investigator.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Bansa and I'm a barrister.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm John and I'm a retired social worker.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, my name is Pat and I'm a retired headteacher.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Kevin and I'm a solicitor.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- So, Norman, team, welcome. Good to see you.- Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Tell us about the Bowling Green pub.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17It's the local pub where we all socialise.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21But we kind of know each other from... All our kids went to the
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- same school at different times. - You don't quiz at the pub?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25No, we don't quiz at all.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Because maybe I would have thought most pubs have a quiz these days.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Oh, it does.- Oh, you just don't take part?- No.- Right, OK, so, so...
0:01:33 > 0:01:34We like a challenge which is why we're here.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37All the quizzes in the pub are watching the TV and they think,
0:01:37 > 0:01:39"There's the guys who never take part in the quiz."
0:01:39 > 0:01:41That's the one. Yep. Indeed.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45And do you know the show? Do you watch these reprobates here?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Oh, we've been studying hard.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48So, you've got a little...
0:01:48 > 0:01:51We've had a few spreadsheets recently, haven't we?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54We think we have a plan. Whether it will work is another matter.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58No battle plan survives first engagement with the enemy, they say.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Do you know who said that? - Wellington?- Who was it?- Napoleon?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03No, Helmuth von Moltke.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Oh, really, that's First World War. - I just like to pull rank on them
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- at the start.- That's impressive. - Yeah.- I'll remember that.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18So, Bowler Hats, the Eggheads have won the last two games
0:02:18 > 0:02:23which means £3,000 as you can't beat them today. Would you like to try?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- We would indeed.- All right. The first head-to-head is on Music.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29So who's the music man?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31The music man is Kevin.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Yeah, OK.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Kevin at the end. Solicitor. Against which Egghead?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Erm, we said Barry, I think, didn't we?- We said Barry.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Yeah. Barry, please, Jeremy. - Good stuff. So it is Kevin
0:02:44 > 0:02:48from Bowler Hats against Barry from the Eggheads
0:02:48 > 0:02:51on Music, which, I think, you like certain periods.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I like to listen to it, yes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55After the invention of instruments, you are right there.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56I was right in there.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- OK, Kevin, I know you manage a band. - Yes, Jeremy.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- A great rock and roll band. - Yeah, go on, tell us who they are.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11They're called The Roasts. They're the next big thing from Manchester.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12- Brilliant.- I'll send a CD.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14You can play it on your radio show some time.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16All right. I would love that. I love to hear new music.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19And so, we are on Music now, Kevin. Would like to go first or second?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I'll go second, Jeremy.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29So, Barry, which Scottish band, whose hits included Shang-a-Lang,
0:03:29 > 0:03:34announced a 2015 comeback tour roughly 40 years after
0:03:34 > 0:03:35the height of their fame?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Well, it's certainly not The Proclaimers.
0:03:42 > 0:03:4440 years after.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I think that's got to be Bay City Rollers.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50It is and, obviously, their most famous one was Bye Bye Baby.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51It was indeed.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54But Shang-a-Lang was mentioned.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Bay City Rollers is the answer.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Kevin, your question.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Jethro Tull was one of the leading bands in which genre
0:04:01 > 0:04:03of music in the 1970s?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It's definitely not northern soul.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Erm, I'll go with prog rock.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Yeah, absolutely.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15A kind of folky thing, wasn't it? Almost electric flute.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- I wasn't a big fan, Jeremy.- Nor me. We probably like the same music.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Yeah, long time ago.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Yeah, prog rock is the right answer.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26OK, Barry, Jumpers For Goalposts is the title of which artist's
0:04:26 > 0:04:29debut concert film released in 2015?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Jumpers For Goalposts.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I really don't know this. This passed me by.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46But 2015 was the year of Ed Sheeran so I shall go for Ed Sheeran.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Yeah, you've done well there. It is Ed Sheeran.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52OK, back to you, Kevin. Which heavy-metal group went straight
0:04:52 > 0:04:58to number one in the UK album charts in 2015 with The Book Of Souls?
0:05:02 > 0:05:03I don't think it's AC/DC.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm going to have to have a guess at this one. Metallica.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Iron Maiden is the answer, Kevin.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Which gives Barry a little bit of an edge here.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Barry, you get this one right, you're in the final.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19What is the title of the third studio album
0:05:19 > 0:05:20released by Kanye West?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Goodness.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33That's interesting that we have a graduation and a college dropout.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Two ends of the spectrum.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I'm going to go for Graduation.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41You've got three out of three. You've taken the round. Well done,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Barry. Graduation it is. Sorry, Kevin. They do do that, I'm afraid.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- They have a little inkling.- I should have taken the first question
0:05:47 > 0:05:49rather than the second question.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Yeah, the trouble with going second is you then slightly
0:05:53 > 0:05:54have to give the initiative to the other.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57So, Barry, you're in the final and, Kevin, you're not.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58But it's early days for the Challengers.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Please come back and we will play the next round.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06OK, the Bowler Hats have lost a brain from the final round,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08but it's very early days, guys.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Don't worry about that.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14The Eggheads have not lost any, the next subject is Science.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Who would like this? - Do you want me to go for that?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- It's one of you two, isn't it? - I don't mind.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Yep, I'll go for that, Jeremy.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25OK, it's going to be John and anyone but Barry.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27THEY CONFER
0:06:27 > 0:06:28CJ?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- CJ on Science? - Quite like it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33So, John from the Bowler Hats against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Please go to the special room.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39John, you used to work as a waiter in the '60s
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- and you once served Paul McCartney? - I did.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- I'm sorry, I've told your story for you.- Yeah, you did.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45What did you serve him?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Er, well, I should've served him peas and carrots.- Yeah?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51But I was that nervous I didn't bother with the peas because
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- they'd have landed on him. - What, so you were kind of...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I said, "Would you like peas and carrots?"
0:06:56 > 0:06:57And he said, "Yes, please",
0:06:57 > 0:06:59so I just gave him carrots and walked away.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00And, did he ever say, well,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03what would be the Beatles song that he would say?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I think he could see my hands shaking as well, so I think he
0:07:05 > 0:07:08was glad that he didn't get any peas because he'd have been wearing them.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I wonder if Paul McCartney just assumes that everyone's hands
0:07:11 > 0:07:14shake when he gets his carrots, you know. Maybe it's very...
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- It's completely normal for him. - Yep, it certainly is.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- And you're a social worker. - I am, yeah, or I was, yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Have you got science now because that's your thing or is that
0:07:23 > 0:07:25just the way the spreadsheet has crumbled?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Erm, it's even more dubious than that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30It's because I know absolutely nothing about science,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33and I'm just scared about being the last man standing,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35so they just put me in as a sacrificial lamb.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Oh, I see, so you were just booked for Round Two, no matter what.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- I was, Jeremy, yep.- OK, well, that's a good way of doing it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I'll go first, please.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Here is your question.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52What term is used to describe a layer below the Earth's surface
0:07:52 > 0:07:56that has been continuously at or below zero degrees centigrade
0:07:56 > 0:07:59for at least two consecutive years?
0:08:06 > 0:08:11I don't think it's durafrost, but I'm not sure why I don't think that.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I think I'll go for permafrost, Jeremy.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Permafrost is the right answer.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19OK, CJ, on to you. Science is the round.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24Which of these words is a name given to the oblong blocks of iron
0:08:24 > 0:08:28that are the initial product of a blast furnace producing cast iron?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32They are...
0:08:32 > 0:08:33pigs.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Oink, oink. You're right, pigs it is.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38John.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43Typically, on what part of a bee's anatomy are the so-called
0:08:43 > 0:08:46baskets used for collecting pollen?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I don't think they're in the wings.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'm tempted to say the head but that looks too easy,
0:08:54 > 0:08:55so I'll say the legs.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57What does your team think. Is he right?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Yeah, they like the answer, legs is right, well done.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02CJ.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05What type of tree is commonly known in Australia as the wattle?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Ah...
0:09:13 > 0:09:14This, I don't know.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Obviously, I've heard of a wattle tree, but what is it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Nope, don't know this.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Don't think it's a eucalyptus,
0:09:22 > 0:09:23I think that's...
0:09:23 > 0:09:27just a eucalyptus tree.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Um...
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Nope, sorry, I don't know this one, this is going to be an absolute
0:09:32 > 0:09:33blind guess. I'll try willow.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36No, acacia, CJ!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38All right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40John, this is looking good now.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Get this right, you're in the final.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46The global population of which of these creatures is estimated
0:09:46 > 0:09:49to be at least 50,000 individuals?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I think I'll have a stab at...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59the blue whale.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Blue whale, you say. If you've got this right, you're in the final.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03But it's wrong.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05It's killer whale.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08So, CJ, chance for you here to come back into it,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10but, if you get this wrong, you are knocked out.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18revealed in 2015 that which piece of equipment was forgotten
0:10:18 > 0:10:20on her pioneering mission?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh, when you started that question, that's not where I thought it
0:10:27 > 0:10:30was going, because she volunteered to be one of the first people
0:10:30 > 0:10:33to go to Mars and not come back, I thought that was where it was going.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Don't know, I'll try toothbrush.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Toothbrush is correct.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42You got four out of six, you guys. We go to Sudden Death.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Sudden Death, John. Bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Here's your first question.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53What is the general scientific term for the basic particle
0:10:53 > 0:10:59separation process in which a fluid is passed through a porous barrier
0:10:59 > 0:11:04for the purpose of removing solid particles or impurities?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I'll take a shot at... Is it filter?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Yes, I can accept that, filtration. Yes, that's fine.- Thank you.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14OK, CJ, Sudden Death. If you get this wrong, you're out.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17The name of which type of energy source is
0:11:17 > 0:11:21derived from the Greek for "earth" and "heat"?
0:11:22 > 0:11:23That'd be geothermal.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Geothermal is right.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Sudden Death, we're on. Back to you, John.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Which silvery-grey metal, often used in the construction of aircraft,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35is thought to be the ninth most abundant element
0:11:35 > 0:11:37in the Earth's crust by mass?
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Is it aluminium, Jeremy?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Do you know this one, CJ? - It's what I would have gone for.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Titanium is the answer.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49So, CJ has a chance to get his place in the final.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52According to the Met Office, what type of weather front forms
0:11:52 > 0:11:57when the cold front of a depression catches up with a warm front,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00lifting the warm air between the fronts,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03into a narrow wedge above the surface?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Is that an occluded front?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Occluded front is correct. Well done.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12You've done well there, CJ, that's not an easy question,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14and John, I'm sorry, you've been knocked out by our Egghead,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17but you took him to Sudden Death. Not bad at all.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Still, the Challengers have lost two now.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Come back to us and we'll play the next round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26So, the Bowler Hats have lost a couple of brains
0:12:26 > 0:12:28from the final round.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30The Eggheads are still sitting pretty.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Just stabilising the whole process, aren't we,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- after some difficult days?- Yes. - Hoping to win today I can tell.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38The next subject is Film And TV.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Who would like this? THEY CONFER
0:12:42 > 0:12:45OK, Pat. Which Egghead?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Judith.- Judith.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I'm told, by my colleagues, Judith.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- Yup.- OK.- I think she'll be handy, anything but sport.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It's Pat from Bowler Hats, Judith from the Eggheads, and
0:12:57 > 0:13:01to ensure there's no conferring, please go to our question room.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- So, Pat, you're a retired head teacher.- I am, yup, that's me.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- Good stuff. Film and TV your thing? - No, I'm number three.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Oh, I see, it's all numbered. - Yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Gosh, I won't say it's working well,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- but it's certainly making an impact anyway.- Yeah, yeah.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- I agree with you, it's not working well.- Well, we never know.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Do we, Judith? It's all a bit random, this, to be honest.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Yes, it is. It's how the questions fall, is what Kevin always says.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Yup, that's right. So, anyway, good luck, Pat.- Thank you.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Here is your first question, Pat.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Which of these TV detectives is often seen driving a red Ferrari?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47A red Ferrari...
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Well, Bergerac drove...
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I don't think it was a red Ferrari, was it?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Hercule Poirot...
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I don't think he'd dirty his hands by driving.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10It's a complete guess, I'm going to go with Thomas Magnum.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Thomas Magnum is right.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Judith, Frank Thornton played the role of Captain Peacock
0:14:16 > 0:14:18in which TV sitcom?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Well, the one about the department store,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26so it's Are You Being Served?.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Are You Being Served? is quite right.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30OK, Pat, over to you.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35Who plays the title character in the 2015 film, Gemma Bovery?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Gemma Bovery...
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Gemma Bovery...
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Emily Blunt...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Carey Mulligan...
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I haven't a clue.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57But, Gemma, sitting in the middle, I'll go for Gemma Arterton.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Eggheads, is he right? - Yeah.- Sounds good to me.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01They like that.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Gemma Arterton it is, well played.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Judith, your second.
0:15:06 > 0:15:12For what does the N stand in the title of the US TV crime drama NCIS?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I think it's... I... National Crime...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I think it's National, isn't it?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I think it's National.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- You would think so.- It isn't? - But, Barry...?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Naval.- Standing for Naval...?
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Is it Criminal Investigation Service? I'm not quite sure.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Naval Criminal Something Something is... They're wearing a lot of...
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- It's Naval?- Yeah, there are a lot of sailors in it.- Oh.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- A lot of people wearing maritime suits.- Oh, dear.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Well, I've never watched it, so... - It's not National.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48But National's usually a good guess
0:15:48 > 0:15:50if you don't know what the N stands for.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Well, law of averages or whatever.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- This is good, Pat, because you're ahead.- Mm-hm.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- And if you get this right, the round is over.- OK.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03In the autumn of 1982, when Sean Connery began filming
0:16:03 > 0:16:06the James Bond movie Never Say Never Again,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08how old was he?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15'82, '82...
0:16:16 > 0:16:17'82...
0:16:18 > 0:16:1922...
0:16:21 > 0:16:2232...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I'd say he was 52.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30You've got it right, well done.
0:16:30 > 0:16:3252, so maybe the tide is turning here.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Pat, you're in the final round.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Sorry, Judith. Knocked out on Film & TV.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Knocked out by Sean Connery, no less.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Not the first.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42So, well done, Pat, come back to us,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49So, the Bowler Hats are just starting to, I think we could say,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- turn things around? - Hopefully.- Yeah.- Exactly.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55We've gone beyond the halfway mark now.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59They've lost two brains but they have now taken out an Egghead brain,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02and one more round before the final, it's Geography.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Who would like this?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- It's yours.- Is it me or you? - It's you.- It's one of you two.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Er, that's going to be me, Jeremy, unfortunately.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Norman, the skipper. Retired tax investigator.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Against whom? - Chris.- Chris.- Chris?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Chris it is, then.- Or d'you want to take Pat on?- We'll take Chris on.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23OK, so, Norman from the Bowler Hats versus Chris from Crewe,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- our train driver.- Yep.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32So, let's press the advantage here, Norman.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36You're on Geography against Chris. D'you want to go first or second?
0:17:36 > 0:17:37I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43And here is your first question, Norman.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Approximately 75% of the terrain of the country of Nepal is
0:17:48 > 0:17:50covered by what type of terrain?
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Well, because of where it is, I can't imagine it's deserts or lakes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02So I'll try mountains and hills.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05And it is mountains and hills. You've got a point.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Chris, what name is given to a natural deep body of water
0:18:11 > 0:18:14formed by erosion under a waterfall?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- Ah... - HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:18:22 > 0:18:25It's not a whirlpool cos that's an eddy.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28It's not a rock pool cos they're on the seashore
0:18:28 > 0:18:31between the two tide marks, so it's got to be a plunge pool.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Plunge pool is right.- Mm.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Could easily go wrong there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:42Norman, the Millau Viaduct in France spans the valley of which river?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I don't think it's the Seine...
0:18:49 > 0:18:51..so it's between the other two.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I don't know this, so...
0:18:54 > 0:18:56..I'll guess the Gironde.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Gironde is your guess.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Let's see, Judith, one of your houses is in France.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- I think it's the Tarn. - You think it's the Tarn?- Hmm.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Judith says the Tarn, and she's right.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Tarn is the answer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10OK, Chris, your chance to take the lead.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Which Scandinavian city is served by Arlanda Airport?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Ah, d'you know, I don't know.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Er...
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I've been to all three, but only on a cruise ship. Erm...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32So it's going to be a pure guess - Oslo.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- I think the Eggs here know. - Stockholm.- Stockholm.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Stockholm?- Ja, ja.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Norman, your question.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Which of these is nicknamed "America's Walking City"
0:19:42 > 0:19:44due to its compact layout?
0:19:48 > 0:19:54I've been to San Francisco, which is very hilly, of course. Erm...
0:19:54 > 0:19:57and I wouldn't imagine that would be a walking city.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01So I'll rule that out. Er...
0:20:02 > 0:20:03The other two...
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I'll try Boston.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Yeah, I guess it's more European. Boston is the answer.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14So, Chris, you need to get this right to stay in.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17To which type of geographical feature
0:20:17 > 0:20:20does the Arabic word "sabkhah" refer?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23And "sabkhah" is S-A-B-K-H-A-H, Chris.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Can't get a handle on it at all. Erm...
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Oh, now, though...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You've seen Lawrence Of Arabia, haven't you, and, er...
0:20:36 > 0:20:39..there's that place called the Sun's Anvil,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43where Lawrence goes back to rescue IS Johar.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Er, so...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50..on that basis, I'll go with salt flat.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Salt flat is the right answer.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- (Phew!)- Good quizzing. We go to Sudden Death, Norman.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Are you ready?- I am.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Clingmans Dome is the highest point on which long-distance
0:21:03 > 0:21:09US hiking route which has linked Georgia to Maine since 1937?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Well, that's going to be up the Eastern Seaboard...
0:21:14 > 0:21:15I would imagine.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Could you just say the name of it again, please, Jeremy?
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Clingmans Dome.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24The highest point on which long-distance US hiking route?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I don't know it. I'll just guess Route 66.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31No, that's over the other side.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- It's the Appalachian Trail. - Ah, right.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34In the Smoky Mountains.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38OK, Chris, for the round.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Which type of sedimentary rock,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44composed mainly of calcium carbonate,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47is the quintessential stone of the Cotswold hills
0:21:47 > 0:21:51and is often called 'Cotswold stone' in that area?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Well, it's Cotswold limestone, isn't it?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Limestone is the right answer.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58On Sudden Death, you've taken it, Chris.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01So, Norman, sorry, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03and, as a result, will not be in the final round.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Gentlemen, come back to us, we'll play the final.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09So, this is what we have been playing towards, it is time
0:22:09 > 0:22:12for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:14 > 0:22:16won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19So, Norman, John and Kevin from the Bowler Hats,
0:22:19 > 0:22:23and Judith from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Bansa and Pat, you're playing to win the Bowler Hats £3,000.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Pat, CJ, Barry and Chris, you're playing for something
0:22:31 > 0:22:35that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40This time, the questions are all General Knowledge,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42and you ARE allowed to confer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44So, Bowler Hats, the question is,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47are your two brains able to defeat these four?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57OK, good luck, Bansa, good luck, Pat.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Here's your question.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01An exaggerated increase in the price of a commodity
0:23:01 > 0:23:05caused by speculation is commonly known by which term?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Any idea, Pat? Erm...
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Spike.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- I'd say...- It's not going to be a ripple, and it's not...
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Say it's a bubble, it blows up. - Yeah.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- When you think "bubble," blowing up. - I think that's right, yeah.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Go for bubble?- I think we should go for bubble, yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Jeremy, we're going to go for bubble.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Bubble is correct. Housing bubble and South Sea Bubble and so on.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Tulip bubble?- Yeah. - Any other famous bubbles?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Dot com bubble. - Dot com bubble, yeah.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44OK, Eggheads. The supposed remains of which king
0:23:44 > 0:23:47were reburied in Leicester Cathedral in 2015?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Richard...- Yeah, Richard. - Should have been buried in York.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Richard III, yeah? Happy with that?- Mm-hm.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58We're going for Richard III, Jeremy.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03He escaped from a car park and he's now in, is it Leicester Cathedral?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Leicester Cathedral, yeah, he was found buried underneath a car park.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Was it true they tried to apply some sort of penalty charge?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10THEY CHUCKLE
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Richard III. OK, back to our Challengers.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17What expression, Challengers, refers to a cutting remark
0:24:17 > 0:24:21or pointed gesture made at the moment of departure?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Parthian shot, I think.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Well, let's just work through them.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- Erm, Greek missile, I've never heard of that.- Roman dart...
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Never heard of a Roman dart.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- "Shot" is leaving, something leaving a gun.- Yeah.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- And it's going away.- OK.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48So if it's said when you're leaving, "shot" is an explosive...
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- And leaving, part.- Part.- Yeah? - I'd say...- Go for that?
0:24:51 > 0:24:56- I think so, yeah.- OK. Jeremy, we're going to go for Parthian shot.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Parthian shot is correct.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01And I've only just realised that people say "parting shot..."
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- They do.- ..because they've just twiddled with it over the years,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06but it was Parthian shot, was it?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Anyone know what a Parthian shot originally was?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Yes, the Parthians were the great enemies of the Roman Empire,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15and their favourite battle strategy was to pretend to retreat,
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and as they were retreating the archers, who were mounted,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22would turn around and fire a shot at the opposing enemy
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- when they were not expecting it. - Right.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Which of these people, later to become US president, was captured
0:25:31 > 0:25:35as a teenager by the British during the American Revolution?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Pretty certain that was Andrew Jackson.- Not George Washington.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- George Washington certainly wasn't...- Jefferson won't...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47No, that's why Andrew Jackson held a grudge against Britain ever since.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49OK, we're happy with that, yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51We're going with Andrew Jackson, Jeremy.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Andrew Jackson is correct, Pat. Well done.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57So, two out of two for you both.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Your third question. Get this right, put the pressure on.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06Eugene Cernan, the last man to have stood on the moon's surface,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10was the commander of which 1972 Apollo mission?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17What do you think?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20This is going to be a complete guess on my part, it is. Erm...
0:26:21 > 0:26:25I'd go for 15, but it's purely a guess. Any ideas?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I'd go for 13, but it's just a guess. I've no idea, I've no idea.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Well, we'll go with your instincts. - I don't know.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- You could be right, 13? - No, you go with your gut.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41OK, we'll go for that. Jeremy, we'll go for Apollo 13.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Apollo 13, OK...
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Eggheads, do you know?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Apollo...- 17.- ..17.
0:26:47 > 0:26:5017. Just help us out here, 13 and 15, what were they?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Right, there were seven Apollo missions to the moon.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Each one had three men in them.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Six of them landed, Apollo 13 obviously didn't so turned back.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01One stayed in the capsule each time so only 12 people have ever
0:27:01 > 0:27:03walked on the moon, and Apollo 17 was the last one,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06so 11 was the first, 17 was the last.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- There we go, 17 was the last.- Yeah.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Let's see if you can take advantage.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest is over.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Who designed Derby Arboretum, which opened in 1840,
0:27:17 > 0:27:21and is often said to be Britain's first public park?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- It's too late for Brown. - Too late for Brown.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34It's too early for Sackville-West and too late for Brown, surely?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Yeah.- Yeah, seems reasonable.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Yes, it's definitely too late, 1840, for Brown.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Er, we're going to go for John Claudius Loo-den.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Low-den.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47John Claudius Loudon. Do you know, by any chance?
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- No.- They did it on the dates, ruling out the other two. Were they right?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Capability Brown was too early,
