0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 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?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- They are the Eggheads and you're ready to do battle.- Absolutely.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Always.- I can tell. I'm sensing the energy now.- Plenty of energy here.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Excellent. Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:41 > 0:00:43are The Swans.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Now, these Challengers
0:00:44 > 0:00:48take their name from one of team member Roger's passions in life,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51his hometown football club Swansea City.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Shantel and I'm a fashion retail manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Philippa and I'm a photography student.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Roger. I'm a finance assistant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Simon. I'm a window cleaner.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Nick and I'm a software engineer.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- So, Shantel and team, welcome. - Thank you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Now, so we've got a Swansea connection
0:01:11 > 0:01:13but more Northern Ireland now.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Yes, my dad, Roger's originally from Swansea
0:01:16 > 0:01:20so he has emanated that Swansea City thing on to us.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23We're not Swansea City fans but that's where the name comes from.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- And you've been to Swansea to see them play?- I have once, yes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28THEY LAUGH Did it go well?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31The match went well but getting into the game wasn't so successful.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Oh, what happened?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Well, I was about 14 at the time and it was my first big game,
0:01:36 > 0:01:37going through the turnstile
0:01:37 > 0:01:40and my dad had two tickets so I thought you had to go in together
0:01:40 > 0:01:44and we got stuck in the turnstile. Yeah, a bit embarrassing but fun...
0:01:44 > 0:01:48All right, well, I hope you don't get stuck in the turnstiles here.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- No, I hope not. - Are you quizzers, all of you or not?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53We, myself and my sister, Philippa and my dad have quizzed together
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and Nick at the end has quizzed with us a few times with The Swans
0:01:56 > 0:02:01and then my uncle Simon, we've added him into the mix for today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Great, so kind of a family team... - Yep, yeah.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06..and maybe quite handy quizzers, we shall see.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Look at the Eggheads, just sort of scoping now.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Just working it out.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12So every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:12 > 0:02:14up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads the prize-money
0:02:16 > 0:02:18rolls over to the next show. You know that.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Swans, I can tell you the Eggheads have won the last five games.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23That's why they're looking a bit confident now.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, there's £6,000 to win. Would you like to try?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Absolutely. - All right, bring it on.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Who would like this?
0:02:34 > 0:02:40- That's going to be you, Nick. - OK.- OK? Don't go yet.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Nick, choose an Egghead to go against.- CJ, maybe?- CJ, OK.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- OK, we'll go for CJ.- OK, CJ. Ah-ha.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Well, we know there's a weak spot there.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Nick from the Swans, CJ from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Will there be some English counties? - I hope not.- Who knows?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Please go to our famous Question Room now.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Have we straightened out our English counties yet, CJ?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I have no idea about any of them.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09It's one of those things, I buy books on it,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I have my map in my gym and it won't go in.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14It doesn't matter what I do, English counties,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- UK geography will not stick. - It's one of those things, I guess.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Well, it looks like you've chosen
0:03:18 > 0:03:20the right guy here on Geography, Nick.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29All right, good luck, Nick. Here's your first question.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33What is the name of the port of both ancient and modern Athens?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43I don't know the answer to this one. It's not Pompeii.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I would choose Persepolis.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- CJ, you're pulling a face. - It's Piraeus.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Piraeus is the answer. OK, CJ, your question.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58What name is commonly given to the south easternmost
0:03:58 > 0:04:00peninsula of Europe?
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Ooh, which is the most south eastern?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12It's not Jutland.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16I'm just trying to... I mean, surely Crimea...
0:04:19 > 0:04:22..surely Crimea is east of the Balkans?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27With not very much confidence, I'll try Crimea.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31To be fair, I would have said Crimea and I'm wrong as well.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Eggheads, help us out because Crimea is obviously east
0:04:34 > 0:04:36but not south, is that right?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Well, in the sense that the Balkans
0:04:38 > 0:04:40extends further south. Yeah.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43So that, if you are taking south east
0:04:43 > 0:04:46as a directional point there,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49then that is further south east than the Crimea
0:04:49 > 0:04:51as the Crimea is a little bit further north.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53On the other hand, it is east
0:04:53 > 0:04:55of the Balkans. A tricky one, that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57The answer is Balkans.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59LAUGHS: You're going to go straight
0:04:59 > 0:05:02off and have a look at a map, aren't you, CJ?
0:05:02 > 0:05:03OK, so we're at zero, here.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09Nick, the Scottish archipelago of St Kilda has the same
0:05:09 > 0:05:13name as a district of which Australian city?
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Another one I don't know the answer to.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Somehow I don't think it's Perth.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I would choose Sydney.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28The answer is Melbourne.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Did you know that, CJ?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I did, they mention it when the Australian Open tennis is played.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38OK. Here's your question. See if you can get on the scoreboard.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Chesapeake Bay is bordered by the US state of Maryland to the north
0:05:43 > 0:05:45and which other to the south?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Shouldn't be Virginia.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Oh, dear, now, which one borders Maryland?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Is it Connecticut?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Ugh.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I'm not entirely sure but I think
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm going to go for Connecticut.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Eggheads?- Virginia. - Virginia is the answer.- Oh, dear.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Oh, nobody's...- We're doing well, aren't we, here? We're doing well.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Unusual game.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19OK, Nick. In which departement is the French city of Nice?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well, I've been to Nice so I should know.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30It's obviously on the Mediterranean.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I'll go for Alpes-Maritimes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Alpes-Maritimes is the correct answer. Well done.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Not an easy question. OK, so the scoreboard is working.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44CJ, get this wrong, you're out.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Which historical Russian city is
0:06:46 > 0:06:49also the most southerly in the country?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Sochi is very south
0:06:57 > 0:07:01but most southerly, I don't know.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05I'm going to eliminate Grozny, I don't think it's that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09No, I really don't know. I'm torn between Sochi and Derbent.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Sochi is very far south but
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I don't think it would be the most southerly so I'll try Derbent.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Derbent is the correct answer.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Right, Nick. We go to Sudden Death.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Here's your question.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32The seaport of Catania is on which Italian island?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I don't know the answer to this so I will make a guess at Sicily.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Sicily is correct. Well done.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42CJ, your question.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Originally the site of the town's Royal Infirmary,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Piccadilly Gardens is found in which UK city?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I think that's in Manchester.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Manchester is quite right.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Sudden Death we are on, Nick, your question.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Which Canadian territory whose name comes from the Inuit
0:07:59 > 0:08:04for "our land" was established in 1999?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Canadian territory in 1999.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I don't know the answer to this.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I will guess Saskatchewan.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Not Saskatchewan. Nunavit. N-U-N-A-V-U-T.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20OK, CJ,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22your question to take the round.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25In which Asian country would you find the
0:08:25 > 0:08:31spectacular coastal rock formation called Kotapu or Nail Island?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Ko is K-O and then T-A-P-U.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Well, that sounds Thai, to me.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Again, you'll be surprised to know I don't know this one
0:08:41 > 0:08:42but I will try Thailand.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Thailand is the right answer, CJ. Well done, you've done it
0:08:45 > 0:08:47on Sudden Death. You're in the final round.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Nick, sorry.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52That was a bit of a bare knuckle contest, wasn't it? My goodness.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59OK, so The Swans have lost a brain, they lost Nick from the final round.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02The Eggheads still all sitting there looking a little bit
0:09:02 > 0:09:05pleased with themselves, maybe. The next subject is Music.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Oh, Lord.- Who wants this?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- That's Philippa.- I'm going to take that.- Philippa, OK.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Choose an Egghead to go against.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I want Lisa. I think I should take Lisa. I'm going to take Lisa.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- OK, that's good, isn't it?- Always happy.- Might get a song out of you.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Philippa from The Swans versus Lisa from the Eggheads and to ensure
0:09:24 > 0:09:27there's no conferring please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33So, you have an enormous CD collection, I gather, Philippa.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Yeah, I think either close to 400 or just over 400. Very eclectic.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40And you haven't thrown it out with all the internet stuff.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- You're keeping them. - Oh, no, I'm all about the hard copy.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45It's all about the CD and the wee book inside.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- That's what it's all about. - Oh, lovely.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Does that compare to your CD collection, Lisa?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51No, I only own about 20 CDs in total,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53but there must be about 600 in my house courtesy of my husband.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57All right, so Music and, Philippa, do you want to go first or second?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05So, your first question, Lisa.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09"You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em"
0:10:09 > 0:10:11are lyrics from which Kenny Rogers song?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Can I have a sing, Jeremy? I love this song.- Please sing it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21# You've got to know
0:10:21 > 0:10:22# When to hold 'em
0:10:22 > 0:10:25# Know when to fold 'em
0:10:25 > 0:10:27# Know when to walk away
0:10:27 > 0:10:29# Know when to run
0:10:29 > 0:10:32# You never count your money
0:10:32 > 0:10:34# When you're sitting at the table
0:10:34 > 0:10:37# There'll be time enough for counting
0:10:37 > 0:10:38# When the dealing's done. #
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- And I love that song.- That's good.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Now get the answer wrong.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Thanks, Jeremy.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Like all Kenny Rogers songs, it's a great story and it's The Gambler.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The Gambler is right. Well done.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53So you're going to have to sing now as well, Philippa.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Oh, no. No-one wants that, Jeremy. - JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Ooh, I wonder if you're going to get this. Limahl was the
0:11:00 > 0:11:03lead singer of which popular 1980s pop band?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Well, I know it's not Duran Duran...
0:11:12 > 0:11:13I think...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I know, I think I know...
0:11:19 > 0:11:24..the other two bands but I'm going to go with
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Kajagoogoo.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Yay, well done. You got it right. Kajagoogoo.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Lisa, your question. Which founder member of the group Soul II Soul,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and I'm not going to call them Soul Eleven Soul,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41was awarded an MBE in 2008?
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Oh, dear.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Could have been any of them.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Hang on, assuming all of them actually did found Soul II Soul.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, back it up, back it up, back it up.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Hang on, were Rebel MC and Tricky ever in Soul II Soul?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04That could be where I'm going wrong.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06On the basis I know Jazzie B was in Soul II Soul,
0:12:06 > 0:12:07I'll go for Jazzie B.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Jazzie B is right. Dave, do you think the other two
0:12:10 > 0:12:11weren't even in the group?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15No, well, Rebel MC and Tricky,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- no, they weren't in the group at all, no.- Yeah.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- No, you're right, they weren't there, Lisa. Well done.- Cool.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22So, let's see. Lisa's got two.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Philippa, you've got one.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26To catch up, here's your question.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30What name is sometimes given to the end of a violin bow where the
0:12:30 > 0:12:34tension of the horse hair can be adjusted?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39I have no clue at all,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43this wouldn't be, instruments aren't my strong point.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46I'm going to say...
0:12:48 > 0:12:53..fox. I don't know why but, yes, it's going to be fox.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I know what you mean cos the fox's tail and all that
0:12:55 > 0:12:58but is that right, Lisa? Have you got any violin experience?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02I used to play but, I mean, I was so bad they barely let me
0:13:02 > 0:13:04near the bow, let alone do anything to the tension.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'd have said frog but I don't know.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Does it look like a frog or something? Frog is the right answer.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Does it look like a frog?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I don't know, it's just one of those words that they just use when
0:13:12 > 0:13:15something's a random shape, frog, that's why I'd have gone with it.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Frog is the answer, Philippa, sorry.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Third question to you, Lisa.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Le Donne Letterate is the title of the first opera by which composer?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Le Donne Letterate?
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Let's see. All composers, I think, so that doesn't help.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Do I know if any of them wrote one or just more than one
0:13:48 > 0:13:51which would also help if it was the first opera?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I don't think I can narrow this down so I will
0:13:55 > 0:13:58go for Alessandro Scarlatti.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02If Barry was here, I'd ask him.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Antonio Salieri is the answer.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So you have a chance to catch up but you've got to get this one right,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Philippa.- No pressure.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14The postpunk duo Sleaford Mods
0:14:14 > 0:14:16formed in which UK city?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I don't know this one either.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29I would say and this could be totally wrong,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32but I'm saying Birmingham cos I think
0:14:32 > 0:14:36that there's quite a lot of like mod bands or whatever from there.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I could be wrong so I'm going to go with Birmingham.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41OK, they are quite obscure and I love postpunk.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Dave, do you know?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Apparently it's Nottingham, well,
0:14:46 > 0:14:47- Pat and Kevin told me.- OK.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49HE LAUGHS
0:14:49 > 0:14:52It's a hard old question. The Sleaford Mods
0:14:52 > 0:14:54formed in Nottingham, Philippa.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56So, sorry.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58With a smaller CD collection
0:14:58 > 0:15:00but just one extra correct answer,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Lisa is through to the final and you've been knocked out.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Don't worry, though, plenty of time to come back.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Do return to us and we'll play on.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10So we had the word frog came up there
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and it was part of the violin bow
0:15:13 > 0:15:18and it's also the indentation on a brick. That's a frog.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20See, told you, weird shape, call it a frog.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24And have a guess what the little bit,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26sort of hollowed out bit is on a horse's hoof.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27That's a frog, yeah.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Anyway, as it stands... I'm sorry the frog was your undoing there.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34..The Swans have lost two brains from the final round.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's time, I think, to turn it around. This is the moment.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39The Eggheads have not lost one so far so, Shantel,
0:15:39 > 0:15:43whatever strategy you've got, now is the moment.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Bring out the spreadsheets. - Game play, yeah.- Game play.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49All right, next subject for you is History.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Who would like this?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- What do you reckon?- It's going to have to be you, Simon,
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- in case sport comes up next.- Yeah. Yeah.- Simon? Okey dokey.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01And which Egghead? You can have Pat or Dave or Kevin.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Dave, I think.- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yeah.- OK. Big Dave, please.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Challenge Dave.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Right, Simon from Swans versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave
0:16:10 > 0:16:11from the Eggheads.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Always feel it's a hex to say that before you go in.- Absolutely.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Do you want to take your positions in the Question Room, please?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22OK, well, you're up against Dave on History. He can be good on History.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- He has his good days, don't you, Dave?- I have my good days, yes.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27But I can have bad days as well.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29So, Simon, do you want to go first or second?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36OK, here is your first question. Good luck, Simon.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Which medieval village near Perth was the traditional
0:16:40 > 0:16:43crowning place of Scottish kings?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Right, I'm not too sure about this one.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I'll go down the middle, Glencoe.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56It has, no, it's not Glencoe.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59It has a famous stone of Scone association,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02so it is, I say "Scoon" for this, is that right?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- That one is, yes. - Scone is the answer.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07OK, Dave, your question.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10The 13th century traveller and writer
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Marco Polo was a native of which Italian city?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Right, I don't think it's Florence, I don't think it's Rome,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I think it's Venice.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25It is Venice. Well done.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Simon,
0:17:27 > 0:17:31which English king appointed John Balliol King of Scotland?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36I think that, Jeremy,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I think it's Edward I.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Bang on. Edward I is right.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Played with great conviction, well done.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Dave,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47the historical region of Asia Minor roughly constituted
0:17:47 > 0:17:51the Asian part of which modern-day country?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I'll go, of those three,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Turkey.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00I think it has to be, doesn't it?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Turkey is the right answer. So Dave's in the lead.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04It means you do need to get
0:18:04 > 0:18:06this one right, Simon.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12Whom did Benjamin Disraeli describe as "that unprincipled maniac"?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'm not sure again with this one, Jeremy.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I think I'll go...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24William Pitt the Younger.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Anyone give us any background on this, Eggs?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28His great rivalry was with Gladstone.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Yeah, so we're thinking it's Disraeli, Gladstone,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Disraeli, Gladstone, like that.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Yes, but Palmerston was a near
0:18:35 > 0:18:36contemporary of them as well
0:18:36 > 0:18:39and he was, shall we say,
0:18:39 > 0:18:40a controversial character
0:18:40 > 0:18:41in his own right but it's
0:18:41 > 0:18:43most likely to be Gladstone.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46William Gladstone is the right answer here.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48The two of them were boxing and coxing
0:18:48 > 0:18:52for many years. So Dave has triumphed in that round.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Simon has been knocked out.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Looking difficult for our Challengers.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Return to us, gentlemen, and we'll play on.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04OK, Shantel, any thoughts now on the strategy?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07We've been quite unlucky with some of our subjects
0:19:07 > 0:19:08so fingers crossed on the last one.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I know you're good quizzers, there's no doubt about that.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13So the Swans have lost three brains from the final round.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16The Eggheads haven't lost any. Let's see if you can turn it around.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Only a few days ago,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21a team won having been reduced to a single player in the final.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24So it's honestly, still got petrol in the tank.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- SHE GASPS Is this good?- No.- The worst?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Yeah, this is our worst possible scenario.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Who would like it? - It's going to be me.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37OK, Shantel and against which Egghead?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It's got to be Kevin or Pat.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41We'll try and take out Kevin.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42I'll try and take out...
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Well, somebody did this the other day
0:19:44 > 0:19:46and you got knocked off your perch.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48In fact, you were seen in the Question Room,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51looking around as if to say, "What is this place?"
0:19:51 > 0:19:53THEY LAUGH You hadn't seen it before.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57So Shantel from The Swans
0:19:57 > 0:19:59versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Arts & Books. Come on, Shantel, this is the moment.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Good luck. Please go to the Question Room.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I hope you do well against Kevin here.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08See if you can get him out, Shantel.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17So, Arts & Books. Kevin, your first question.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Three Men In A Boat by Jerome K Jerome
0:20:20 > 0:20:22is a comic story of a trip down which river?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30They are on the Thames, I believe.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Yes, they are on the Thames.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35What was the first line of that book, do you remember? Anybody?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Oh, you don't know?- Sorry.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Well, I think the first line of Three Men In A Boat is,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- "There were four of us." - OK.- I think that's it.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Shantel, here's your question.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Aesop was the legendary author of a collection of fables,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52many of which involved what?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Again, literature's not a great subject for me.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I'm going to go with...
0:21:07 > 0:21:08..gods.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Something's telling me I've heard that before, maybe.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14It's a bit of a guess.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16OK, gods, it is not gods actually.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Aesop's Fables are animals and I remember that only
0:21:20 > 0:21:22because I remember having a book as a child
0:21:22 > 0:21:24and I'm trying to think of the famous,
0:21:24 > 0:21:29the one I always remember is that the fox that was persuaded to give
0:21:29 > 0:21:32up its tail by another fox who'd lost its tail.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Anyone else remember any others? - The Fox And The Crow.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- The Hare And The Tortoise. - The Hare And The Tortoise is one?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Kevin, your question. You're in the lead.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Which artistic term refers to the technique of creating
0:21:43 > 0:21:46an image with the smoke from a lighted candle?
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Well, um...
0:21:55 > 0:21:57..vaporisation seems a much more general term
0:21:57 > 0:22:02and so does hazing but fumage would obviously relate to smoke.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06I don't think I've come across it as an art term so maybe
0:22:06 > 0:22:10it's in there as a red herring but it seems like the logical one.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15The other two seem more, or too general, so fumage.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Fumage is correct.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Can't think of having heard that before myself, either.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Shantel, back to you.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24So he's got two and you need to get this one right.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Which of these is a collection of poems by Philip Larkin?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Again, a little bit of a guess.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I'm going to go with Lyrical Ballads.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43No, and I'm just trying to think who that's by.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Hawk In The Rain I'm guessing is Ted Hughes, is it?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48And Larkin is High Windows.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50So High Windows is the right answer.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Lyrical Ballads, it could be almost any poet, couldn't it?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Wordsworth/Coleridge. - Who is it, Kevin?- Is it Wordsworth?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58A collaboration between Wordsworth and Coleridge.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01OK, so it's a famous poetry book, is it?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Yeah, it is. I wouldn't swear to that being the only Lyrical Ballads
0:23:05 > 0:23:09cos it's a fairly obvious title but the most
0:23:09 > 0:23:12famous one is probably the one between Wordsworth and Coleridge.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17So, sorry that wasn't right, Shantel. High Windows it was
0:23:17 > 0:23:19and as Kevin's done one of his storming
0:23:19 > 0:23:21runs there, you've been knocked out, I'm sorry.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Let's see how the Challengers do in the final round, it's coming.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31It is time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge
0:23:31 > 0:23:34but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:23:34 > 0:23:36allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39So, sadly it's Shantel and Philippa and Simon
0:23:39 > 0:23:43and Nick from The Swans, would you please leave the studio?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48OK, Roger, you're playing to win The Swans £6,000.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Kevin, Dave, Lisa, Pat and CJ,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53you're playing for something that money cannot buy, which is
0:23:53 > 0:23:55the Eggheads' reputation
0:23:55 > 0:23:58and to keep this little roll we've got going carrying on.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05You are allowed to confer.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10So, Roger, the question is, can your one brain defeat these five?
0:24:10 > 0:24:11So, fingers crossed, Roger.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Just tell me whether you would like to go first or second?
0:24:14 > 0:24:15I'll go first, please.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Here we go, your question, Roger.
0:24:21 > 0:24:27Which pop singer made a four-episode cameo as Joni Preston
0:24:27 > 0:24:30in the TV soap Coronation Street in 2015?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Sarah Harding.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Oh, straight there. You watched it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Yeah, I do tend to watch Coronation Street,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42yeah, so I think it's Sarah Harding.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I think she was the manager of a bar.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Yeah, well, they're all clapping you backstage.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49So, well done, Sarah Harding it is.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51OK, Eggheads.
0:24:51 > 0:24:57Ashtanga and kundalini are both types of which practice?
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Ashtanga's a yoga.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Kundalini's yoga, isn't it?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Kundalini's yoga, isn't it?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Yes, it is, yeah. Happy with that.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12We think that they are types of yoga.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Yoga is correct, well done.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Back to you, Roger. For what does the first P stand
0:25:16 > 0:25:19in the abbreviation TPP,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23the name of an intercontinental trade deal announced in 2015?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32I'm not sure about that. I don't think it's prices.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Because it's intercontinental, I would probably have thought...
0:25:41 > 0:25:42I would say Pacific.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Pacific is the right answer. Well done, you.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50OK, so Roger's in the lead.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53We're playing for £6,000 here.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57And you, Eggs, I know what happens when you get nervous.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02In which European country was the political party Podemos
0:26:02 > 0:26:03formed in 2014?
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Podemos.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Spain, Spain, Spain.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Are we happy with Spain?- Spain.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I think that, it's made great
0:26:13 > 0:26:15progress very quickly in Spain.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Spain is right.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I wish you could shake them off more easily,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Roger, that's annoying.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24They were a bit too confident there, weren't they?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28So, get this one right and you may not need to do any more work today.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33What was the first planet in our solar system to be discovered
0:26:33 > 0:26:36through the use of a telescope?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I don't think it was Uranus.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51It's either Neptune or Mars.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I would say Neptune.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Neptune is your answer.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- I think that is the furthest one. Is it the furthest one?- It is.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03But we think, I think it's Uranus in 1781.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07So the first one to be discovered through the use of a telescope
0:27:07 > 0:27:09was Uranus.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10So you have two points,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Roger, they have two points.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14You're playing for £6,000.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16If they get this wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Otherwise the contest is over.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21The actor Jason Statham
0:27:21 > 0:27:25represented Great Britain in which sport, Eggies?
0:27:30 > 0:27:31- I think we all like diving?- Diving.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Diving, he was a diver.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34No question, diving.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37He was a diver, so it's diving.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39You love questions like this, don't you?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You love ones that somebody famous for one thing did something else.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43They're attractive little...
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Cos you know that's what quizzes are made of.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Diving is the answer.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50So, we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- 1990 at the Commonwealth Games. - Yes, it was.- I understand.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Before the acting.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Well, Roger, sorry about that
0:28:03 > 0:28:07and to all of you brilliant Swans sitting backstage.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10You gave us a good game there. Commiserations to you.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:12 > 0:28:14and their winning streak continues.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18We'll stay away from telescopes for a while. That would be annoying.
