0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the 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 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Are you ready for this one? - Yes, definitely.- Oh, yes!- OK!

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are...

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Now, this team all met

0:00:41 > 0:00:44when working in baggage handling for a major airline,

0:00:44 > 0:00:46and they're based at Heathrow Airport.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Andy and I'm a baggage handler.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Glen and I am also a baggage handler.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Shell and I am a ramp agent.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Eddy and I am a training coordinator.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Robert and I'm a retired baggage handler.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04- So, Andy, team, welcome. - Hi, Jeremy.- REST:- Hi.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07First time we've had someone described as a ramp agent.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Which is two words, isn't it? Just to be clear.- Yes, it is two words.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Because we've got some rampage-nts over here, in other ways.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18- But you all work for the same airline at Heathrow? ALL:- Yeah.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21- And you're getting the bags on and off the planes?- We do, yeah.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Brilliant. And is that tough? - It can be hard.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27- It can be very challenging, yes. - Do you quiz together?

0:01:27 > 0:01:31- That's the key question.- A couple of us do. Myself and Robert.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35- And occasionally Glen.- Yeah. - But not as a rule, no.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- But we all love quizzing.- You love quizzing?- Individually, yeah.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- You throw questions backwards and forwards?- Oh, yeah, we do.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44And now you're meeting these great people here.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Yeah, that's it. The elite now.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46All right, let's see if...

0:01:46 > 0:01:48We'll look for some bag analogies here.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Can you remove their bags from them without them noticing?

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Good luck, team.- Thank you. - Great to see you.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58You know that every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01And if you fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money

0:02:01 > 0:02:02rolls over to the next show.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06So, Good To Load, the Eggheads have won the last four games.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08They are just getting a little bit of swagger back.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11£5,000 is on the table, therefore,

0:02:11 > 0:02:13which says you can't beat them today.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Would you like to try? - Certainly.- OK.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Who would like this?

0:02:20 > 0:02:22- OK, Film & TV.- Eddy?

0:02:22 > 0:02:24- I think that's you, Eddy.- Yep.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Eddy?- That would be me.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29OK. Did you manage to watch a bit while you're on shift?

0:02:29 > 0:02:30No, I'm too busy.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32That's the right answer.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Eddy, who would you like to pick?

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Um... Dunno.- Who do you think, Andy?

0:02:37 > 0:02:40I think, well, you know, they're all good, so...

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- You choose.- Choose.- Uh, Pat.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46All right, that was a bit of a desperate, "Oh, anyone."

0:02:46 > 0:02:47Yeah, straight down the middle.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51OK, Eddy from Good To Load versus Pat from the Eggheads.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Please go to our famous Question Room now.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57OK, Eddy, Film & TV against Pat.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Would you like to go first or second?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Here we go with your first question.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09The title characters in the TV drama series

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Scott & Bailey have which jobs?

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Scott & Bailey...

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I'm going to guess detectives.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Yeah, because most people on TV are detectives.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27It's just a fact of life.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28And you're right. Well done.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Well done, Ed.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33They say if a Martian landed and just watched American TV,

0:03:33 > 0:03:36they would assume 60% of the world was in law enforcement.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38And suspended as well.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Yeah, yeah. Exactly. THEY LAUGH

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Pat, your question. What term

0:03:43 > 0:03:47did Gerry Anderson use in the 1960s for the puppetry technique

0:03:47 > 0:03:50she developed for television series such as Thunderbirds?

0:03:57 > 0:04:02I used to watch Thunderbirds when I was a little boy. Very exciting.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04I think it's based on the idea of a marionette.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08So the term he came up with was Supermarionation.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Supermarionation is quite right.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11OK, back to you.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Eddy, your question.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18Which star of the television series Madmen won their first Emmy

0:04:18 > 0:04:21in 2015 after eight previous nominations?

0:04:26 > 0:04:27I didn't watch the programme.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30I caught a couple of episodes, but I didn't watch it religiously.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Um...

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Again, complete guess, I'm going to go down the middle -

0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Jon Hamm. - EGGHEADS LAUGH

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- He's good!- Is he right, Eggheads? EGGHEADS:- Yeah.- Yeah. And is he...

0:04:39 > 0:04:42is he sort of the cool, chiselled one?

0:04:42 > 0:04:44He's Don Draper, the lead guy, yeah.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Don Draper, OK, Jon Hamm. Yes, you're right, Eddy, well done.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Well done. He guessed the right bag.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53THEY LAUGH OK, Pat.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55In which year did Sunday Night At The London Palladium

0:04:55 > 0:04:57first appear on British television?

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Sunday Night At The London Palladium,

0:05:04 > 0:05:06it's quite a venerable programme.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10I think it's older than 1995, so I'll dismiss that.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12It's sort of a classic format,

0:05:12 > 0:05:16so I think it's conceivable they would roll it out in '55.

0:05:16 > 0:05:17No, I'm a bit flummoxed here.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20It's possible it's all the way back to '55.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23They were broadcasting in '55, no question about that.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27I think it is quite venerable.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30I think I'll have to go for '55, but I could easily be wrong.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34Yeah, I have a memory. I interviewed Bruce Forsyth once, and he...

0:05:34 > 0:05:38I think that was his show, and that was the start of his career.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41So you are back in the '50s with that. 1955 is right, Pat.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Well done.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45So, two each. Eddy, get this right, put Pat

0:05:45 > 0:05:46under some pressure.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Which of these films features the song Sister Suffragette?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57OK, I don't remember ever seeing My Fair Lady.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Oliver!,

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I can't remember it being in that.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04But I know there's a scene towards the end of Mary Poppins

0:06:04 > 0:06:08when the mother of the children was doing a suffragette march.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10So I'll go for Mary Poppins.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Mary Poppins is the right answer, Eddy. Well played!- Well done.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Three out of three. Deadpan delivery.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Yeah.- Very good.- Deadpan!- OK, Pat.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Which of these film stars was born in Puerto Rico?

0:06:31 > 0:06:35My first thoughts are that Andy Garcia was born in Cuba.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Gael Garcia Bernal, I think, is Mexican.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41I think I'm going to have to go for Benicio del Toro.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Benicio del Toro is the right answer.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44- Oh, well done.- Good man.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47So, three each. We go to Sudden Death, Eddy.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives. You ready?- Yep.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Which James Bond film was the first directed by Sam Mendes?

0:06:55 > 0:07:00I really don't have a clue, so...

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Um...

0:07:01 > 0:07:04You Only Live Twice.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05As a guess.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Skyfall.- Oh. - Much more up-to-date, Eddy. Pat,

0:07:09 > 0:07:11your question, for the round.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14In which film does Russell Crowe say the line,

0:07:14 > 0:07:17"At my signal, unleash hell"?

0:07:17 > 0:07:19And he borrowed it from me.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23I think this is...

0:07:23 > 0:07:25a huge set piece opening.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27He's a general for Marcus Aurelius,

0:07:27 > 0:07:30and they're about to give the Celts a duffing.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32So I think the film is Gladiator.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Gladiator is the right answer, you've taken the round,

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Pat, on Sudden Death.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Sorry, Eddy. Well played, though.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42First round. Good To Load were good there, but not quite good enough.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43So Eddy won't be in the final.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Come back to us and we'll see what happens next.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Oh, a couple of matters of fact, Eggheads.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54The Celts you referred to at the start of Gladiator...

0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Germans, perhaps? - Germanic tribes, very good.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00And then just on the Sam Mendes, he was born in 1965,

0:08:00 > 0:08:02You Only Live Twice was 1967.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Very talented director, but at the age of two...- Not that good.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06I'm not sure.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09In nappies, directing in nappies.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13So Good To Load have lost a brain - lost a suitcase, really -

0:08:13 > 0:08:15for the final round, which I know will trouble you.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19The Eggheads have not lost any. But we're early days.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21And the next subject for you is Politics.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Who would like this?

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Politics. I think you said Glen. Anybody else want to take it?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Glen said...- Politics is not my forte.- I don't mind trying it.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Rob, you feel confident?- Yeah. - OK, Rob, Robert.- OK, Rob.

0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Against which Egghead, Rob? Obviously, can't be Pat.- Um...

0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Probably Lisa.- All right, so Robert from Good To Load against Lisa.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Have we done Politics recently, Lisa?- Not recently.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I'm just thinking you haven't been chosen for that.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50No, and that's really the way I would prefer it.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Well, let's see what happens. Please go to our Question Room.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57On Politics, Robert, do you want to go first or second?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59I'll go first, please.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03Good luck, Robert.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07What colour is the leather upholstery of the speaker's chair

0:09:07 > 0:09:08in the House of Commons?

0:09:11 > 0:09:13I don't think it is black or brown.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16I don't really know, but I'll go for green.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Yep, it's like the benches, it's green.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Well done.- Well done, Rob.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21OK, Lisa. How many Liberal Democrats

0:09:21 > 0:09:26MPs were returned to Parliament of the 2015 General Election?

0:09:28 > 0:09:32Not a whole big old load. I think it is eight.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Yep, famously two cabs.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38In fact, one big cab. LISA LAUGHS

0:09:38 > 0:09:41- One of those minivans.- Get them all in a big suitcase, do you reckon?

0:09:41 > 0:09:42Save money?

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I tell you, I think that would be tight,

0:09:44 > 0:09:46but, yeah, eight is the answer.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48OK, back to you, Robert.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Who was the only prime minister of the UK to have four

0:09:51 > 0:09:53separate terms in office?

0:09:57 > 0:10:01I don't think it was Churchill.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03I'm pretty sure it wasn't Baldwin,

0:10:03 > 0:10:05so I'll go for Gladstone.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Gladstone is quite right.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Nicely done.- All right, Robert.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12OK, Lisa, who is the most recent

0:10:12 > 0:10:15UK prime minister not to have gone to university?

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Not to have gone to university?

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Right, well, Thatcher went to my university and got two degrees

0:10:26 > 0:10:29cos, you know, she was that sort of lady.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Um... Major, I think famously, hasn't got any A-levels.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36I sort of want to say Major, but then I've got this connection

0:10:36 > 0:10:37with him and LSE in my head.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39- BARRY LAUGHS - Go for it!

0:10:39 > 0:10:42I don't know why it's there.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Oh, the run I'm having on 50-50s at the moment,

0:10:45 > 0:10:47it probably doesn't matter which ever way I jump.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'll just say John Major.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51- You've done it, well done.- Oh!

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Well done. Yeah, not a university person.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55There was a famous thing where he said,

0:10:55 > 0:10:58during his crisis over Europe, "When your back's against the wall,

0:10:58 > 0:11:00"it's time to turn around and start fighting."

0:11:00 > 0:11:03THEY LAUGH

0:11:03 > 0:11:05OK, so, Robert,

0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'm afraid she got it right.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09So your third question becomes quite important.

0:11:09 > 0:11:15Which MP became Father of the House following the 2015 general election?

0:11:19 > 0:11:22This one has really got me stumped.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24I'd like to say it was Dennis Skinner,

0:11:24 > 0:11:29but probably can't imagine that he'd be granted that honour.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Kenneth Clarke, possibility.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37But I'll go for Gerald Kaufman.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Yeah, bang on, well done.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Gerald Kaufman it is.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Not an easy question.

0:11:43 > 0:11:44Back to you, Lisa. Which Independent

0:11:44 > 0:11:49senator from Vermont and self-described democratic socialist

0:11:49 > 0:11:53entered the race to become US president in 2016?

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Uh...

0:11:59 > 0:12:02You sit there and you read the debate between Hillary Clinton

0:12:02 > 0:12:04and the senator from Vermont,

0:12:04 > 0:12:07and do you bother remembering his name? No, you do not.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11I think it's Bernie Sanders.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Bernie Sanders is correct, well done.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16We go to Sudden Death now, Robert. Gets a bit harder -

0:12:16 > 0:12:18I don't give you alternatives.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21In September 2015, the Labour Party held their annual conference

0:12:21 > 0:12:23in which seaside resort?

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Lots of seaside resorts to choose from.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34I'll go for one my favourites. I'll go for Llandudno.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Oh, really? OK. HE LAUGHS

0:12:37 > 0:12:40That's...that's an interesting choice.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42- It was Brighton.- Oh, that's right.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45But I like that we got a Llandudno reference into the programme,

0:12:45 > 0:12:46that's good. THEY LAUGH

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Are you on a bet or something?

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Not saying.- To mention the town?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53All right, Lisa, if you get this right, you're in the final.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56The 1986 political scandal

0:12:56 > 0:13:00known as the Westland affair concerned a company of that name

0:13:00 > 0:13:04that was primarily concerned with the manufacture of what?

0:13:04 > 0:13:07This had a lot to do with Heseltine, as I recall.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10I think it's helicopters.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11Helicopters is the right answer.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Well done, Lisa, you've booked your place in the final.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Sorry, Robert, you were beaten by our Egghead

0:13:16 > 0:13:18and won't be in the final round.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Both of you, please, return, rejoin your teams.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26So Good To Load have lost two suitcases - I'm sorry, brains -

0:13:26 > 0:13:27from the final round.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30They have not yet deployed their ramp agent, though.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32We're looking forward to that moment.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35The Eggheads are still just sitting there,

0:13:35 > 0:13:38with their smiles a little bit too wide for our liking.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40The next subject is Arts & Books.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41Who would like this?

0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Well it's between me and you. - Yeah.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48- What do you think?- I think I'll have to take that one.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50- All right, you go then. - Yeah, you do that.

0:13:50 > 0:13:57- You do that.- Glen against whom? - I think I know what's coming.- Yeah.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Well, my kids love him. CJ.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01THEY LAUGH

0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Do they?- They do.- All right, they want to see you knock him out?

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Hopefully.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Yeah. Glen from Good To Load versus the legendary CJ

0:14:10 > 0:14:11from the Eggheads.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13That will put him in a good mood all day.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22- So, Glen, you're a baggage handler as well?- I am, yes.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26- I've been there for 30 years now. - Really?- Yeah.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29What's the craziest thing you've ever found in a suitcase?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Um, nothing too irregular,

0:14:31 > 0:14:35but a friend of ours has found an armadillo.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Really? What, just skulking?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Yeah, just sitting in the corner quietly, until his tail was pulled.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43And it had been on a plane or it was going on one?

0:14:43 > 0:14:45No, it was coming in from...

0:14:45 > 0:14:48I think it was coming in from the West Indies.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Right. And did you get your armadillo back, CJ?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53No, I'm still waiting for it, actually.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56THEY LAUGH I told you not to do that.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00So, Art & Books, Glen, would you like to go first or second?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02I think I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Great, and your kids will be watching this, will they?- Oh, yes.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Well, shout out to them, who are they?- Josephine and Luke.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14All right, and they want you to win this round, so good luck.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Leonardo's mural The Last Supper is located in which

0:15:17 > 0:15:19type of building in Milan?

0:15:24 > 0:15:27HE SIGHS

0:15:27 > 0:15:29The Last Supper...

0:15:29 > 0:15:31I would say...

0:15:31 > 0:15:35probably the most obvious one -

0:15:35 > 0:15:36a convent.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Convent is correct.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39- Well done, Glen.- Well done.

0:15:39 > 0:15:44Now, I'm suffering brain fade - I thought this was on a canvas.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Is it not? It's a mural, is it?

0:15:45 > 0:15:46No, it's a mural on the wall.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Unfortunately, it's fading because Leonardo used some

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- experimental techniques which haven't stood the test of time.- Oh.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Convent is right. Well done, Glen, good start.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57The kids are cheering. CJ,

0:15:57 > 0:16:00the title of Ray Bradbury's novel Something Wicked This Way Comes

0:16:00 > 0:16:03is a quote from which author's work?

0:16:08 > 0:16:10I am fairly sure it is Shakespeare,

0:16:10 > 0:16:13just trying to think which one, which play it's from.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Generally, with quotations or new words,

0:16:17 > 0:16:20it's generally Shakespeare, really, cos he invented so many of them.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24Um... I can't actually remember which play it's from,

0:16:24 > 0:16:25but I think it's William Shakespeare.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28William Shakespeare. Which play is it, Lisa?

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Macbeth, Jeremy.

0:16:29 > 0:16:30Are you sure it's that and not Hamlet?

0:16:30 > 0:16:32There are no witches in Hamlet.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."

0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Now leave me alone. - THEY LAUGH

0:16:37 > 0:16:39We had some confusion the other day.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42And actually, "by the pricking of my thumbs,"

0:16:42 > 0:16:43which is the first half of it,

0:16:43 > 0:16:45it became the title of a book by somebody else.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Agatha Christie. - Agatha Christie, yeah.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51So both halves have been used. Shakespeare is right, CJ, well done.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Back to you, Glen. In the 1964

0:16:53 > 0:16:57children's book Harriet The Spy, by Louise Fitzhugh,

0:16:57 > 0:17:00the title character lives in which city?

0:17:05 > 0:17:08I've never heard of this book.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12I would tend not to go with Amsterdam.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16I'm going to go down the middle with Edinburgh.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18See if your team-mates know, is he right?

0:17:18 > 0:17:20I don't think I would've said Amsterdam.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21I would've said New York myself.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Yeah, New York it is, Glen. Sorry.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26So, CJ, your chance to take the lead.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Including Svetlana Alexievich

0:17:29 > 0:17:34in 2015, how many women have won the Nobel Prize in literature?

0:17:34 > 0:17:35How many women?

0:17:38 > 0:17:4135 does seem like a lot.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45It seems to me, even 14 seems like too many.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Doris Lessing won it.

0:17:50 > 0:17:51I remember there being a bit

0:17:51 > 0:17:54of a fuss about there not being very many female winners.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Ooh...

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Not sure, but I'm going to go for the lowest.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- I'm going to go for seven.- OK...

0:18:02 > 0:18:03Anyone on this side know, is he right?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05I'd have gone for seven, yeah.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Yeah? They all think seven, but it is 14.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Right.- Oh!

0:18:09 > 0:18:10So that's a let-off, Glen.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Turn it around now.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Which of these best-selling novels was originally written in

0:18:14 > 0:18:18Norwegian and gives an explanation of the history of philosophy?

0:18:26 > 0:18:28I don't...

0:18:28 > 0:18:30I don't know this.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Something is telling me Sultana's Dream.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36So that's what I'm going to go for, Sultana's Dream.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38But I don't know.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Sultana's Dream. Robert, you're shaking your head.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42- You don't think so? - I don't think so, no.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44But I don't know which of the other two it would be.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46I heard an answer on this side.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Sophie's World. - Sophie's World is the answer.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51OK, CJ, this for the round.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56In Pierre-Auguste Renoir's painting entitled The Umbrellas,

0:18:56 > 0:19:01what is the main female figure in the foreground carrying on her arm?

0:19:04 > 0:19:07I don't think it's a shawl.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Hm. I really don't know this.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Maybe I'm getting confused, but as soon as you said the question,

0:19:12 > 0:19:15I thought she was carrying a basket.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17So that's the one I'll have to go for.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19You can visualise it, can you? The basket?

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Unless I'm visualising the wrong thing, which is

0:19:21 > 0:19:23a distinct possibility.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25- What's in the basket, do you know? - No idea.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27You are right, it is basket. I'm just teasing you.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29That was actually well done

0:19:29 > 0:19:31cos it's quite hard to pick out that detail.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34So, CJ, well done, you've taken the round. Sorry, Glen.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Ah, Glen!- At this point, about a minute earlier,

0:19:36 > 0:19:37when this show's aired,

0:19:37 > 0:19:40say to your kids, "Oh, hang on, something's gone wrong with the TV."

0:19:40 > 0:19:43THEY LAUGH Come back and join your teams.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47So, Andy, any change of tactic now?

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Yeah, we're going to try to win one. - THEY LAUGH

0:19:50 > 0:19:52So Good To Load have lost three brains from the final round,

0:19:52 > 0:19:54the Eggheads are sitting pretty.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Although, just a few games ago, you had a bad patch.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58So you never know, honestly.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01And in fact, one of the last ones they lost was up against one

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Challenger in the final.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06So the next subject is Sport.

0:20:06 > 0:20:07Who would like this?

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Well, I think Michelle, you did say you'd do Sport, didn't you?

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- I'll do Sport.- Yeah?- Shell? All right.- Brilliant, Shell.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Our ramp agent from Good To Load. Which Egghead would you like, Shell?

0:20:18 > 0:20:20It either... Well, it's one of the two at the end,

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- the bookends, Barry or Dave? - We're going Barry.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24- We're going Barry, are we? - You can go for Dave if you want.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27- THEY LAUGH - He needs the exercise.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31Shell from Good To Load versus Barry from Eggheads.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34To make sure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Shell, I know we made a lot of comments about ramp agent,

0:20:38 > 0:20:39you better say what ramp agent is.

0:20:39 > 0:20:45A ramp agent is the actual guys and girls that work airside

0:20:45 > 0:20:46by the planes.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49We load all the cargo and bags

0:20:49 > 0:20:54and whatever is travelling on the airplane.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Good stuff. Do you enjoy your job? - I love my job.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00I can see the vibe is good on your team here. Nice people to work with.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03- And you've been chosen for Sport or it's your thing?- I don't...

0:21:03 > 0:21:08I quite enjoy sport, but I think it's a tactical play as well.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Yeah, understood. So, Shell, would you like to go first or second?

0:21:11 > 0:21:13I'm going to go first, please.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19All the best, Shell. Good luck. Sport against Barry.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Which British athlete set a new world record

0:21:21 > 0:21:25for the decathlon on four occasions during his career?

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Ooh...

0:21:32 > 0:21:35There's only one person that stands out here for me.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39I've not heard of Dean Macey or Ashton Eaton.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44But I remember as a young girl always watching Daley Thompson.

0:21:44 > 0:21:49So just for that reason alone, I'm going to go Daley Thompson.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50And it's right, Shell, well done.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Daley Thompson. - Well done, Shell.- Good stuff.

0:21:53 > 0:21:54Barry, your question.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Which of these England cricketers became famous for being

0:21:57 > 0:21:58an all-rounder?

0:22:01 > 0:22:04- HE LAUGHS - I think we could discount

0:22:04 > 0:22:06that well-known Yorkshireman Geoffrey Boycott.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09I have seen him bowl, but he is not an all-rounder.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13You've got to go for Ian Botham, haven't you? Really?

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Ian Botham is right.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Shell, what is the traditional colour

0:22:17 > 0:22:22of the shirts worn by the Portuguese football club Benfica?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Oooh...

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Football is not really my thing, I'm more of a rugby girl.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Portugal...

0:22:32 > 0:22:36I really don't know. And this is...

0:22:36 > 0:22:40purely, purely on a hunch.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41I'm going to go green.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- It's red.- Oh.- Yeah, it's red.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Sorry, Shell. So Barry has a chance to take the lead.

0:22:47 > 0:22:51Which rugby league club, Barry, won The Treble, Challenge Cup,

0:22:51 > 0:22:56League Leaders Shield and Grand Final in 2015?

0:22:59 > 0:23:02If I get this question wrong, I don't think I can go home.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06It was the fabulous, fantastic Leeds Rhinos.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08THEY LAUGH Well, you wouldn't have even been

0:23:08 > 0:23:11able to return to your seat cos Lisa is watching out.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Leeds is right.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15OK, Shell, need to get this one right.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Prior to the 2015 competition,

0:23:18 > 0:23:23in which year did Great Britain last reach the final of the Davis Cup?

0:23:27 > 0:23:31Ooh... '58 and '68 were before I was born.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34I don't think it was 1978.

0:23:34 > 0:23:39Just as a pure guess, I suppose, I'm going to go 1958.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Let me ask CJ because he is a big tennis man.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44No, it was in 1978 cos Lloyd and Mottram were playing,

0:23:44 > 0:23:46and they just did not get on.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50- Lloyd and Mottram in '78, Shell. Apparently.- Oh.- 1978 is the answer.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Sorry about that.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54So, no way back for you.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Barry is in the final round.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58If you come back and rejoin your teams,

0:23:58 > 0:24:01we'll take stock and then we will play the final.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04So, this is what we have been playing towards.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06It's time for the final round,

0:24:06 > 0:24:08which as always, is General Knowledge.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:24:10 > 0:24:12are not allowed to take part in this round.

0:24:12 > 0:24:17So, that's Glen, Shell, Eddy and Robert from Good To Load.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Would you please now leave the studio?

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Well, Andy, I'm sorry it's ended up like this,

0:24:23 > 0:24:26but of course, it has amended here and you could win.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28And we saw this, literally, the other day.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Absolutely.- Where you were all taken down by a single player.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35- So good luck.- Thank you.- You're playing to win Good To Load £5,000.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36OK.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Dave, Lisa, Pat, CJ, Barry, you're playing for something

0:24:39 > 0:24:41I don't think I can really put a price on,

0:24:41 > 0:24:42which is your precious name.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49This time, they're all general knowledge. You can confer.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Sorry that doesn't help you.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55Andy, the question is, can you with your one brain beat these five?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Good luck.- I'll give it a go.- Would you like to go first or second?

0:24:58 > 0:25:00For a change, I think I'll go second.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06OK, your question, Eggheads.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09The River Tagus flows into which body of water?

0:25:13 > 0:25:16- Atlantic?- Atlantic?- Atlantic? Are we all happy with the Atlantic?

0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Right through Lisbon. - Yep. The Atlantic, yep.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Jeremy, we're going for the Atlantic Ocean, please.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24OK, where is the River Tagus?

0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Portugal.- Lisbon.- Lisbon?- Yep.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Atlantic Ocean is correct.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Your question, Andy.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34"Lend a hand" was once the motto of which organisation?

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Here's where I think I should've gone first.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43Lend a hand.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46It can't be the United Nations, surely.

0:25:46 > 0:25:47The RAC?

0:25:50 > 0:25:52You know what? I'm going to say The Brownies.

0:25:52 > 0:25:55- I'm glad you did.- Oh! - It's right. Well done.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56The Brownies.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Eggheads, the recording artist

0:25:58 > 0:26:03Sananda Maitreya was formally known by which name?

0:26:07 > 0:26:08It's Eddy Grant, isn't it?

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Terence Trent D'Arby is a nickname, isn't it?

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Is it Terence? Oh, right. Oh, sorry. Fair enough.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15- Terence Trent D'Arby. - Yeah, he's taken on...

0:26:15 > 0:26:17- It's the one that's changed his name.- Oh, right, fine.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19I wouldn't have got this,

0:26:19 > 0:26:24but the rest of the team informed me that it is Terence Trent D'Arby.

0:26:24 > 0:26:25Yeah, are we sure about that, Eggs?

0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Fairly sure, yeah. - Who did you think it was, Dave?

0:26:28 > 0:26:31I was thinking Eddy Grant, but, no, that sounds right.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35Sananda Maitreya is Terrance Trent D'Arby, well done.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38So back to you.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41You're playing second, so you've got to catch up now.

0:26:41 > 0:26:42In Imperial Russia,

0:26:42 > 0:26:46which of these terms referred to a decree from the tsar?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52A decree from a tsar.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55That is pretty obscure.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58I can't say I've heard of it. Obschina, kulak...

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Kulak sounds like gulag.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05I'm going to go... Obschina.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Ukase is the right answer, Andy. - OK.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10So, Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest is over.

0:27:10 > 0:27:15Which legendary US former basketball star co-penned a novel

0:27:15 > 0:27:19entitled Mycroft Holmes, published in 2015?

0:27:24 > 0:27:26- It's Kareem, isn't it?- Kareem. - It's Kareem, yeah.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29He's definitely written Mycroft Holmes.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jeremy, please.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35You all sort of went for that. Usually means you're right,

0:27:35 > 0:27:37but not always.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39If you are right, the contest is over.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44The author and basketball star is indeed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56- So it was ukase, ukase. It was that wretched word.- Yeah.

0:27:56 > 0:27:57It would have been a pure guess anyway.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59I can't say I would've got it.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, I hope you've enjoyed coming on and playing.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Oh, it's been fantastic. Yes, really brilliant.- Very good to see.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Great team to see in action.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08- And commiserations, we say, to Good To Load.- Ah.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11The Eggheads have done what comes increasingly naturally to them.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14I am getting worried about this streak. I can't see it ending.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16They still reign supreme over quiz land.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18It does mean you're not going home with the £5,000.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21We take the money, we roll it over to our next show.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24So, congratulations, Eggheads. Who will beat you?

0:28:24 > 0:28:27Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the

0:28:27 > 0:28:31brains to defeat the Eggheads. We'll have £6,000 for them if they can.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Till then, cheerio.
