0:00:04 > 0:00:06These people are amongst
0:00:06 > 0:00:08the 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 > 0:00:28pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Let me just check, are you up for it?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Always.- Very much so.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38All right, challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:38 > 0:00:39are the Five Racketeers.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Now, contrary to popular belief amongst their friends,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46this team are not named after the noise they make whilst quizzing
0:00:46 > 0:00:49but are instead all fans of racket sports. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, my name is Dot and I'm a locum minister.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Colin and I'm a forestry manager.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, my name's Kate and I'm a research scientist.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Doug, and I'm a retired technical manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, my name is David, and I'm an accounts manager.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So, Dot, team, welcome. ALL:- Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Good to see you. So tell us about the Racketeers, Dot.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Well, we all play some kind of racket sport.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Mainly tennis, but some of us play badminton and squash as well.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- And it's family and friends? - Yes, it's family and friends.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26This is my brother, Colin, and this is my sister-in-law, Kate.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29But the other two men I have never met before in my life.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Oh, I see. Just outside the building. They were hanging around.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- We just drafted them in. - Off the building site.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36And we found out they could play tennis.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37All right, well, good luck,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40whether it's with rackets or just with quiz answers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42We hope you do very, very well here.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:44 > 0:01:48for our Challengers, however, if they fail to defeat this lot,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50the prize-money rolls over to our next show.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So, Five Racketeers, I can tell you that the Eggheads have won
0:01:53 > 0:01:55the last three games
0:01:55 > 0:01:56which means £4,000 is on the table
0:01:56 > 0:01:58for you to win today and I really hope you do.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01You can find out who the two on the end are as well
0:02:01 > 0:02:02while you do that.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Happily, who would like this?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Definitely one of you guys.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Who is it going to be?- David, it's your call.- David?- I'll take Sport.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16David? Choose an Egghead, David. Any one of the five.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Chris.- Chris?- Chris.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20We'll choose Chris, Jeremy.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22OK, so David from the Five Racketeers
0:02:22 > 0:02:25versus Chris from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33So, David, joking apart, you have met the others before today.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- But what's the connection? Is it rackets again?- Yes, it is.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40It's actually through Dot's brother, Colin. I've known Colin
0:02:40 > 0:02:43for probably more years than we both care to remember through tennis
0:02:43 > 0:02:47and badminton and we've done the odd quiz competition together.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51All right, on Sport, David, first or second, would you like to go?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59And if you win this round you can give Chris a racket.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Which of these footballers is over six feet tall?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Quite straightforward, Rio Ferdinand.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Centre halfs tend to be quite tall so I'll go for Rio Ferdinand.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Rio Ferdinand is right and you know your football
0:03:14 > 0:03:17cos you wrote the Celtic match programme.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20That's right, I did that for 20-odd years.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Which is quite a big thing
0:03:21 > 0:03:23cos everyone who goes to the game reads it.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26That's right, a lot of famous people as well, hopefully.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Rio Ferdinand is the right answer. Let's go to Chris.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Who won the men's long jump,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Chris, at the 2015 Athletics World Championships?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41THEY LAUGH
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Ah, Never heard of Mike Powell.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I think Bob Beamon was way back a bit so I'll go with Greg Rutherford.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Bob Beamon was the famous one who did the jump...- In Mexico.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- When was that, Eggs? ALL:- '68.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59'68. Is it still holding, that record?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- No, Mike Powell beat it. - Oh, Mike Powell beat it in when?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- '91, I think it was. 8m 95. - Right, OK.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08And Greg Rutherford is the right answer, Chris,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10because he's the up-to-date one.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12OK, over to you, David.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14In which year did Zara Phillips win the
0:04:14 > 0:04:16BBC Sports Personality Of The Year award?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Ah, tricky one, that. I remember she kept saying
0:04:22 > 0:04:26amazing during her thank you, her acceptance speech.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I'll go for 2006.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Is the right answer, 2006.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Chris,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38which of these golfers usually plays left-handed?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Well, I've never heard of Rory McIlroy being left-handed,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48never heard it mentioned, unlike with Bubba Watson
0:04:48 > 0:04:50so I'll go with Justin Rose.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Bubba Watson is the right answer, Chris. You got it wrong.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I feel bad we have no sighting
0:04:56 > 0:04:58of a racket yet in this round
0:04:58 > 0:05:00and we are on Sport and you are racketeers.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05David, which Grand Slam singles title did the tennis player
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Jimmy Connors never win?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Well, he definitely won the US Open on more than one occasion.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17They didn't really play the Australian Open too often
0:05:17 > 0:05:20back in Connors' time so I'll go Australian Open.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22No, it's the French Open.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25You've got a chance to come back,
0:05:25 > 0:05:26- Chris.- Mm.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28In 2015, which cricket team retained the
0:05:28 > 0:05:32County Championship Title for the first time in 47 years?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Well, Yorkshire...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42..Yorkshire and Middlesex are both pretty strong sides
0:05:42 > 0:05:46so I can imagine them both retaining it at various periods.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48So I'll say Nottinghamshire.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52OK, Barry's upset. Barry.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It could only be Yorkshire.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56The greatest cricket team in the world.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58But the logic that Chris used was that
0:05:58 > 0:06:03because they are very great, they would have retained it previously.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Yes, well, amazingly, it's never been done before.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08We like your logic but the answer's wrong, Chris.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Yorkshire is the right answer.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11So, well done, David,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13you're through to the final round.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17All right, so we've got at least two Racketeers in the final.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Come back to us and we'll play the next round.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Well done, Racketeers. The Five Racketeers are still five.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Not lost a brain.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29And the Eggheads have lost Chris, which can be a serious thing
0:06:29 > 0:06:32in the final. The next subject is History.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33- Who would like this?- Our favourite.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Oh, I would like to take History.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Who's going to take that?- Was that you, Jack?- Shall I give it a go?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Yes, please, thank you. That would be great.- OK, Doug.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41That's going to be me.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Against which Egghead, obviously can't be Chris.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- Heavens, what a choice. Can I try Lisa, please?- You can.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Doug from the Five Racketeers
0:06:50 > 0:06:53versus Lisa from the four remaining Eggheads.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- So, Doug, like David, you know Colin?- I do, yes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- We both play at the same club.- Which particular racket sport is this now?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Well, me, I'm principally a squash and racquetball player
0:07:08 > 0:07:10with a bit of tennis tacked on the side.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Colin's the better tennis player by far.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- So, Doug, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21OK, here is your first History question, Doug.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25The use of kamikaze pilots, who would deliberately crash their own
0:07:25 > 0:07:29planes into enemy targets, grew to prominence in which war?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Right, that should be World War II, please.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41It is indeed World War II. That's right. Lisa, your question.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Pakistan was created in 1947 after the partitioning of which country?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50That's India, Jeremy.
0:07:50 > 0:07:56- Yeah, you're right. OK, they may get harder, Doug.- Unfortunately.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00How did the British spy Anthony Blunt die? Was he...
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Now, he certainly wasn't killed in battle.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10He didn't get back to be hung for treason.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think he had a heart attack. That's the one I'll go for.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yeah, old age, basically, wasn't it?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Heart attack is right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Lisa, which army was
0:08:18 > 0:08:22victorious at the 1513 Battle of Flodden?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I think they were still mates with the French then, weren't they?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Um, the Scots, were we fighting with the Scots?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I really can't remember. This is awful.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Oh, I don't know.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I don't know, let's end the misery,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44um, Scottish.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Anyone on this side know?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- ALL:- English.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That's a horrible, horrible gap. Horrible gap.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- English is the answer. - Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Let's just recap here.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Doug, if you get this right, you are in the final.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04OK, and you've knocked out Lisa and she's a history graduate.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Wow.- She's got a history degree.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09What name was given to the Russian army officers
0:09:09 > 0:09:12who led an unsuccessful uprising against
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Czar Nicholas I in 1825?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Oh, that's a tricky one. They all could be equally feasible.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29I'm going to go for the Decembrists, please.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Decembrists is the right answer, Doug.- Ah, right!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35You're in the final, well done. Sorry, Lisa.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Oh, dear, oh, dear.- No way back.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Well, you've gone down, the first English person to be
0:09:40 > 0:09:42slaughtered in the Battle of Flodden.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Yes, you're making me feel ever so much better, Jeremy. Thank you.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46That's OK, it's my pleasure.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Come back to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54This is going rather well for our Challengers, may I say.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58The Five Racketeers have not lost a brain. The Eggheads have lost two.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00And we have £4,000 that we're playing for.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03The next subject for you is Film & TV.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05So, who would like this?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Should I take this one? - Think you should.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- I should take this one.- OK, Dot. - I'm going to take this one.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Good stuff. And against which Egghead?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13The three in the middle are still there.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- I think I'd go with Barry. - (I think Barry.)
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I think Barry, please, Jeremy.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19OK, so, Dot from Five Racketeers
0:10:19 > 0:10:21versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Film & TV. Please go to our Question Room.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Dot, I gather you like sweet chilli sauce?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Oh, I love sweet chilli sauce.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35I would have it on everything from scrambled egg to pancakes.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38You name it, sweet or savoury. Oh, it's gorgeous, it's lovely.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Did that love for sweet chilli sauce
0:10:40 > 0:10:43come out of a particular incident or just...?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I tried it once when I was at another minister's house
0:10:46 > 0:10:49and I thought, "That's just absolutely lovely."
0:10:49 > 0:10:51You get a hit of chilli and a hit of sweetness.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54It just goes with everything. You should try it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55HE LAUGHS
0:10:55 > 0:10:57And when you say another minister, we should say you are a,
0:10:57 > 0:11:01it's called a locum minister so you officiate at services, do you?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Church services. - Yes, yes, I do, Jeremy.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I take every Sunday service at the moment
0:11:05 > 0:11:07and then I'm paid for a couple of days,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10which is to conduct funerals, visit people, that kind of thing.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- All right, well, good luck against Barry here.- Thank you.- Film & TV.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- What are you watching at the moment? Box sets?- I'm watching Jericho.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21No, I'm watching Jericho. But that's on the other side
0:11:21 > 0:11:23so I'll have to cut that.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- I am watching... - You can say anything.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27..Eggheads, Pointless, anything, Strictly Come Dancing
0:11:27 > 0:11:31cos you were on it but now you're not on it. It's finished.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35It's always better, as a minister, to just tell the truth.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37OK, I'll tell the truth.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38I watch Embarrassing Bodies.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40THEY LAUGH
0:11:42 > 0:11:44OK, well, that was a good conversation.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48We started with sweet chilli sauce and we got to Embarrassing Bodies.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50And now, would you like to go first or second, Dot?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I'd like to go first, Jeremy.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59OK, Film & TV, Dot, and here is your question.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04The 1996 action film The Rock is set in which prison?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12I remember the film the Birdman Of Alcatraz.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Would they do more than one film about Alcatraz? On The Rock.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I'm just thinking out loud
0:12:19 > 0:12:22but Robben Island's staring me in the face.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'm going to go with Robben Island.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Your team? ALL:- Alcatraz.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- It is Alcatraz, they say.- Oh, no.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I think maybe Alcatraz was nicknamed the Rock, was it, Eggheads?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34It was called the Rock, yeah.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36OK, Barry, here's your first question.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38What does the M stand for in the
0:12:38 > 0:12:41name of the cable television channel MTV
0:12:41 > 0:12:43which first aired in 1981?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52MTV was the first music channel so I guess it must be music.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Music is right. Dot, back to you.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Georgia May Foote played Katie Armstrong in
0:12:58 > 0:13:02which TV soap from 2010 to 2015?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Well, Jeremy, thanks to Strictly Come Dancing
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I'm pretty sure it's Coronation Street.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Yeah, that's right.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Coronation Street is the right answer. Well done, brilliant.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18OK, Barry.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22The first series of the TV drama Ripper Street is set in which year?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Now, my wife was a devotee of this series although I never watched it.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34It was on television quite often in our house and I seem to
0:13:34 > 0:13:38recall it was set in Victorian times, so that would make it 1889.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42You're right, quite violent at times. 1889.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Barry didn't give you any daylight there, Dot,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49so you've got to get this one right to stay in.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Charles Lang, born in 1902,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56is best known for his expertise in which film-making field?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Oh, that's a toughie, Jeremy. Charles Lang.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04He could be in any of these.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11I'll take a guess because you said film-making.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I'm just going to go down the middle with cinematography.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Yes, cinematography is right. Good stuff.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19So, Barry, if you get this right,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21you're in the final round.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Who wrote and directed the 2015 horror film The Visit
0:14:25 > 0:14:29in which two teenage siblings spend a week with their grandparents
0:14:29 > 0:14:31in a remote farmhouse?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38That's nice, I've just become a grandfather and you're giving me
0:14:38 > 0:14:41a question about a horror film involving grandchildren.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45But this one has passed me by.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48The name that comes out here for
0:14:48 > 0:14:51horror films is obviously Wes Craven.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54But was it he this time?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56No, I'll go for Wes Craven.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59So this answer will surprise you.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01M Night Shyamalan.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05So, you're equal on two points out of three.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Yay!- Dot, we go to Sudden Death. - Yay!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10So it gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14The siblings Lucy and Tim, played by Sally Bretton
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and someone called Tim Vine, are characters in
0:15:17 > 0:15:20which Lee Mack sitcom?
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Not Going Out.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Yay! I'm so pleased you got that right.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26So I'm not going out.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Oh, my brother will be delighted.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32OK, Not Going Out is the answer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Wouldn't it be great if you won on that question?- It would.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I can tell Tim.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39All right, Barry, your question. To stay in.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40The Colour Of Money,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42released in 1986,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45is a sequel to which 1961 film?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49The Colour Of Money, I think this was Paul Newman
0:15:49 > 0:15:51so I think it would be The Hustler.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53It was indeed The Hustler.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- You're equal. Sudden Death. - This could go on.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Dot, which British actress won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar
0:16:02 > 0:16:07for her performance in the 1978 film California Suite?
0:16:08 > 0:16:14Oh, that's a good question. Oh, goodness, so she's a bit older.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Oh, let's go for Maggie Smith. - BARRY LAUGHS
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Maggie Smith is the right answer.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Oh, hallelujah!
0:16:20 > 0:16:21THEY LAUGH
0:16:21 > 0:16:24That was so beautifully done.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- You deserve to be in the final for that.- Thank you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27All right, let's see
0:16:27 > 0:16:29if Barry trips up.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Barry, in the 1970s,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33who directed the films Cabaret,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Lenny, and All That Jazz?
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Oh, gosh. Cabaret, I should know who directed Cabaret.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46All That Jazz. Bob Fosse.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Alan Parker, maybe?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I can't remember.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I'll try Alan Parker but I'd suspect it's not.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I thought I heard you say the name.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- He said it!- Bob Fosse?- Yeah.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- It isn't Bob Fosse, is it? - It is Bob Fosse.- Oh, no!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- The choreographer.- Oh, I didn't realise he directed Cabaret.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Oh, have I won? Whoop, whoop! Whoop, whoop!
0:17:11 > 0:17:14We don't have that very often when somebody says the answer
0:17:14 > 0:17:17and then moves on. Bob Fosse is the answer.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- So, Dot, well done. - Thank you, I'm thrilled.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25This is good. This is good. OK, so, Dot is in the final.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28She's triumphed against Barry. This is carnage now.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Come back, we'll play another round.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Racketeers, you have not lost a brain. They've lost three.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You're on target for the jackpot.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40It's Music now.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Who would like this?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Shall I take it?- That's definitely good for you.- Thanks, Kate.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'll take it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Kate, a research scientist from Oxford against which Egghead?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51There's only Pat and CJ left.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I think I'll go for CJ.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Good stuff, so Kate from the Five Racketeers
0:17:55 > 0:17:58versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Can CJ stay in? You know he wants to.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04To ensure there is no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It's Music now and, Kate, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'd like to go first, please.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16And here is your question.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Donnie Wahlberg, the older brother of the actor Mark Wahlberg,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23found fame with which boyband?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28..or NSYNC?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. That sounds unbelievably...
0:18:31 > 0:18:32THEY LAUGH
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Right, Lisa, you can tease me now.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38NSYNC, honestly.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42I'm so embarrassed. And you're going to leave that in as well.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46You're going to leave it in. I'm actually blushing.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50I'm going to read it again but I know they're leaving it in.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51OK, let's try again.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Well, boybands is not my favourite subject
0:18:59 > 0:19:02but I think there might have been a Donnie in
0:19:02 > 0:19:05New Kids On The Block. So I'm going to go with New Kids On The Block.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08New Kids On The Block is quite right, yes.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Very familiar with all those bands.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12HE LAUGHS
0:19:12 > 0:19:14CJ, in which section of an orchestra
0:19:14 > 0:19:15would the trumpets usually be found?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I think the trumpets would usually be in the brass section.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Unless they had wandered off.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26You're right, brass is correct.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Back to you, Kate.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32What's the name of Sam Smith's theme song for the
0:19:32 > 0:19:342015 James Bond film Spectre?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I'm not sure about this one.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I'm really not sure so I'm going to guess for Another Way To Die.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Uh-uh.- Aw.- I'm sorry. Team? Do you know?
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Writing's On The Wall.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Writing's On The Wall. - I was going to go for that.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00OK, not to worry.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01CJ, which of these
0:20:01 > 0:20:03musical duos are really brothers?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I think it's the Everly Brothers, isn't it?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12They're both called Everly.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Certainly not the Chemical Brothers and I don't think the
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Righteous Brothers look anything like each other.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19No, I think it's the Everly Brothers.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22It is the Everly Brothers, well done. All right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Kate...
0:20:25 > 0:20:26..you need this to stay in, Kate.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Which of these singers featured on the UK number one singles
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Rather Be, My Love and Not Letting Go?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Again, not one I know straight off.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49I think I'm going to go for Jessie J on that one, I think.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50But again, it's a guess.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Now, I can tell, Dot, you love your music
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- cos you know these, don't you? - Yes, it's Jess Glynne.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57"Jess Glynne," says Dot and she's right. Sorry.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Oh, dear, that was...- You've been knocked out, so CG will be in the
0:21:00 > 0:21:03final round. And it may be a little bit of a comeback here
0:21:03 > 0:21:07by the Eggheads, but is it timed right to keep their title?
0:21:07 > 0:21:08We shall see.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Come back to us, both of you, we will play the final.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Well, what a game we've had today
0:21:14 > 0:21:16and this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19It is time for our final round. As always, General Knowledge, OK?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22And those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:22 > 0:21:24are not allowed to take part.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27So, that is Kate from the Five Racketeers
0:21:27 > 0:21:31but also Lisa, Barry and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Well, Racketeers,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39you're up against a man who won a million pounds on
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, a World Quiz Champion,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44former British Quiz Champion,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Mastermind Champion Of Champions and CJ.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50THEY LAUGH
0:21:50 > 0:21:54So, Dot, Colin, Doug and David,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57you are playing to win the Five Racketeers £4,000.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Pat and CJ, you're playing for something that money can't buy
0:22:00 > 0:22:03which is to somehow rescue what's happened in this game.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08this time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10You are allowed to confer.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12So, Five Racketeers, the question is,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15can your four brains defeat these two?
0:22:15 > 0:22:20You've been brilliant so far, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27OK, Colin and team, good luck.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31The word ludo, from which the popular board game takes its name,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34means what when translated from Latin?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- I play.- I think play.- I play.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Yes, we're all agreed, Jeremy, that's I play.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I play, correct. OK, first point to you. Over to the Eggs.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53Call Me Dave is an unauthorised 2015 biography of which famous David?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59That was the revelations, wasn't it?
0:22:59 > 0:23:04- That's the Michael Ashcroft/Isabel Oakeshott book.- Yeah.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06We think that's David Cameron.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09David Cameron is the right answer. So, one each.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Back to you, Challengers.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15The American criminal Lester Gillis was better known by what nickname?
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Was he...
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- So, he was a criminal.- I have a
0:23:23 > 0:23:24- feeling...- It's not Billy the Kid.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Not Billy the Kid.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27No, we can ignore Billy the Kid.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I think it's Baby Face Nelson.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Maybe there isn't a Pretty Boy Floyd,
0:23:32 > 0:23:33maybe it's made up.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35We'll go for Baby Face Nelson?
0:23:35 > 0:23:36I think, Jeremy, we're
0:23:36 > 0:23:38not very sure on this one.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42We've eliminated Billy the Kid and we're going to
0:23:42 > 0:23:43go for Baby Face Nelson.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Lester Gillis was Baby Face Nelson.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Well done. Well done, indeed.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Eggheads,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53the Ian Fleming International Airport
0:23:53 > 0:23:55serves which Caribbean island?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01It must be where Goldeneye is, surely.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Yeah, I think it must be Jamaica.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Certainly, he lived many years there, didn't he?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06- Goldeneye is in Jamaica.- I think
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- it might be up near Montego Bay. - Yes.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10We're going to go for Jamaica.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Jamaica is your answer because Goldeneye is, what is Goldeneye, CJ?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Ian Fleming's house. - Ian Fleming's house.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16You're right, it's Jamaica.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22OK, the dangerous Japanese dish fugu traditionally contains
0:24:22 > 0:24:24what type of fish?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Oh, that's a toughie. Fugu.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Isn't that the lionfish,
0:24:31 > 0:24:32the very poisonous one?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Very poisonous, they're all very poisonous.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36You have to really segregate carefully.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- I've just got a feeling it's puffer fish.- Oh, have you?
0:24:39 > 0:24:40- Oh, no.- For some reason,
0:24:40 > 0:24:41I just don't know why...
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I'm not convinced on lionfish,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46so don't worry about changing your mind.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48The other two are more poisonous, I think
0:24:48 > 0:24:49than puffer fish, but I have a
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- feeling...- It's your decision...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Jeremy, we're pretty undecided on
0:24:54 > 0:24:56this one but we're going to have a
0:24:56 > 0:24:59stab at puffer fish.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00OK, now let's just see,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I'm sensing that Kate knows it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Do you know it, Kate, backstage?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I think it's puffer fish. I think they're right.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Puffer fish is right, well done.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Oh, you nearly veered into
0:25:10 > 0:25:14lionfish there. Well done.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Thank you.- Great quizzing.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20OK, Eggheads. They've got three.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Which TV show set a new record with 12 wins at the
0:25:25 > 0:25:282015 Primetime Emmy awards?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Game Of Thrones came top, I think.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yeah, Game Of Thrones is overwhelming.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Yeah, I think that came top of the tree in 2015.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Mad Men had its last series. - Yes, but that was gone.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44And House Of Cards. OK?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48We're going to go for Game Of Thrones.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Game Of Thrones is the right answer. So, three each.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54They never make it easy, these Eggs.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56You're playing really well, Challengers.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59£4,000 on the table. We go to Sudden Death now.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Which online social networking service acquired the
0:26:05 > 0:26:10photo sharing app Instagram for approximately 1 billion in 2012?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15What are the different social media sites?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I mean, I only know Facebook.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- What's the other one?- Twitter.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Would Instagram not be more likely to be with Twitter?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Yeah, cos you can share photos on either of those two.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Will we go with Twitter? - We'll try Twitter.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Again, we're not entirely sure, Jeremy but we believe it's Twitter.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42It's not. It's actually almost the most obvious one.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Facebook. Yeah. OK.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Well, never mind.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Don't worry. It's not over.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53It's not over till somebody sings.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Let's see if we are going to start singing, Eggheads.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Here's your question for the game.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03Leading is a bestselling 2015 book by which retired football manager?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Well, I know Alex Ferguson, Sir Alex Ferguson has certainly,
0:27:08 > 0:27:11he's written his autobiography. I think he has gone further.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12He's got another book?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14He's written books on management, not surprisingly.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Oh, he has, hasn't he? Yes. - Given his track record.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Who else could we be talking about?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I mean, it's the sort of thing that any successful sportsman
0:27:21 > 0:27:23could consider writing.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25If it's going to be that recent
0:27:25 > 0:27:28it's going to be someone who's recently retired, it's got to be.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30He's the outstanding candidate, I think.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Cos Alex came out, that was about...- Managing My Life.- Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36It was about 2013.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41And then he has written something else since, so that's the logical...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43We're not certain about this
0:27:43 > 0:27:45but we feel it's probably Sir Alex Ferguson.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Do you think they're right? - Yes, definitely.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I'm going to put you out of your misery.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53It is indeed Sir Alex Ferguson.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56We say, congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Well done, Challengers.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Even reduced to two they're quite a powerful unit,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07so no shame in that.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- So I hope you have enjoyed it. ALL:- Yes, very much.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Great play, commiserations.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14There aren't many teams who do as well as you've done.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, I think,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19they were a little bit ragged along the way.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21They still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23It does mean the Challengers aren't going home with the £4,000
0:28:23 > 0:28:26so we roll the money over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28So, Eggheads, well done, both of you.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33You saved face on behalf of those three backstage and I wonder
0:28:33 > 0:28:36if you can ever be beaten. I'm starting to think you can't be.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers can do it,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42£5,000 says they can't.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Till then, goodbye.
