0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Arguably 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 > 0:00:32They are, as we know, the Eggheads,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34and there's no possibly about it, is there?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36THEY LAUGH Probably, definitely.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- Certainly. - Certainly, Judith. Thank you.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:41 > 0:00:44are the Muscateers from March in Cambridgeshire.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Now, this team are all members of the March United Services Club,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51hence Musc, and feature amongst their ranks
0:00:51 > 0:00:52the club's quiz master, Gary.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53So, let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Jen, a retired club steward.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Gary. I'm a machine operator.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Selena.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03I'm a self-employed airport transfer specialist.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Syd. I'm a retired machine operator.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Gary, I'm a retired local government officer.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- So, Jane and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Good to see you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16So, March United Services Club is just basically a social club?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Yes, yes, a working man's club. - Right, a working man's club?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- A CIU working man's club. - What's the CIU bit?
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Club and Institute Union. It's like a league of clubs or whatever.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- But it's a tradition of having social clubs.- Yes, yes.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Why not just go down the pub? - Originally, we were a lot cheaper.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36You could get the cost of your membership back in a night.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38HE LAUGHS
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Well, we've got several clubs in March.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And, you know, people just congregate to whichever club
0:01:43 > 0:01:44that they fancy.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- It's nice to belong, I guess?- Yes. - And do you quiz in the club?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Yes, we do. Yes, with Gary.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So, Gary at the end sets the questions.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Yes.- OK, does the question setter always know the most?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I don't know, we'll find out, won't we?
0:01:58 > 0:01:59I always think asking them,
0:01:59 > 0:02:04I've secretly developed greater knowledge than all the Eggheads.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Oh, well, that bodes well then, doesn't it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I must never show it,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10so I'm constantly pretending not to know things.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11So, you know all the answers?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15All the answers unfortunately of programmes we've already broadcast.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16- That's the problem.- Ah, yes.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It's the ones that are upcoming that I struggle with.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- We know those answers too. - Well listen, good luck against them.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:23 > 0:02:25up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Muscateers, I can tell you the Eggheads
0:02:31 > 0:02:33have won the last six games.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35It means £7,000 is here for you to win.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Would you like to get cracking? - We would.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Very good, so our first head-to-head battle
0:02:40 > 0:02:43is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Who would like this?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Is that you, Selena?- I don't know, is there any point in...?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Would it really? - Not really a film buff.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I think we've kind of decided. Yeah? Me?- Yeah, go on.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- OK, I think it's going to be me. - OK, Selena.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58And would you like to choose an Egghead?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00They're all ready and waiting.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Same as we were thinking about for the...?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I think so, go for the same again.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah, take Lisa and hope that she's not watched too much TV
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- because she's always on this. Yeah?- Too busy swatting up.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11OK, we're going to play against Lisa, please.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Right, I'm sensing you've got a plan here. You've got a game plan?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Very sketchy at this early stage! - OK. Sounding good, though.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Selena from the Muscateers versus our own Lisa from the Eggheads
0:03:23 > 0:03:26on Film & TV. Please go to the famous Question Room now.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31So, Selena, tell us about your job. What do you do?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I'm a self-employed airport transfer specialist,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37which basically just involves getting a big car
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and running people up and down the motorways
0:03:40 > 0:03:42to the various airports of Britain.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45OK, so not a taxi driver but something a bit more?
0:03:45 > 0:03:50A bit more specialist. I've kind of niched into that specific area.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52And is there a big demand for that?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yes, people always go on holiday
0:03:54 > 0:03:57and if they're the kind of people who will take a taxi,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59they will come back year after year
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and continually take the same one, hopefully.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04OK, well, let's see if it's going to be taxi for Lisa.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Here we go with this round, Film & TV, Selena.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Your choice, would you like to go first or second?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I'll go first, please.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Here is your question.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Who is Kevin Costner's character employed to protect
0:04:18 > 0:04:19in the film The Bodyguard?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Well, I'll be honest, I didn't watch the film.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I know of it and I know the actress.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I'm almost sure it wasn't the US President.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I seem to think because of the casting of the character...
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I think I'm going to plump for pop star.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Which one are you thinking of? Who was the actress/singer?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Whitney Houston, I believe. - Yeah, that's right.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Pop star is quite right.- Oh.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Lisa, your question.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57The 1992 action film Under Siege is primarily set
0:04:57 > 0:04:59on which mode of transport?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm trying to think.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I'm trying to think if I'd seen that particular Steven Seagal
0:05:09 > 0:05:10muscles and gun fest.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Erm, I can't remember precisely.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I know there's one that's sort of water-based. I'll go for battleship.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Battleship is the right answer.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22OK, Selena.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Which film-maker known for his epic productions
0:05:24 > 0:05:27was Pauline Kael describing when she said,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30"He made small-minded pictures on a big scale?"
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I can't believe that I've heard this quote very recently.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40But I don't know in relation to who.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Well, Alfred Hitchcock certainly didn't make small-minded pictures
0:05:44 > 0:05:46so I'm not minded to go with him.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I think, given the scale that we're talking about,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I shall plump for John Ford.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'm not too familiar with Cecil B DeMille, so John Ford.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- John Ford was Westerns, was he? - Yes, he was.- Eggheads, OK.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Painted Desert.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Yeah, and Cecil B DeMille is the right answer I'm afraid, Selena.- Oh.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- And he was Ben-Hur and those big ones.- Of course he was, yes.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Ten Commandments.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15It was all the big budget historical and religious epics. That was him.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19OK, so Lisa has the chance to take the lead.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22What is the profession of John Cleese's character
0:06:22 > 0:06:25in the 1988 film A Fish Called Wanda?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Oof! Seen the film.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37My first thought was lawyer. He could be an accountant. Erm...
0:06:39 > 0:06:41First thought, I'll go for barrister.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yeah, barrister is right.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I think there's some, I just remember a scene
0:06:45 > 0:06:48when he's in his pants in someone else's flat
0:06:48 > 0:06:50and he's talking to her, they all come in.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53And I think the other person who comes in is another barrister.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- About as much as I remember as well. - Yeah, it's a great film.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58OK, Selena.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's 2-1 to Lisa, you've got to get this one right.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05The 2015 film Everest starring Jason Clarke and Josh Brolin
0:07:05 > 0:07:09is based on the real events of a disastrous mission
0:07:09 > 0:07:11to reach the mountain summit in which year?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Don't know the film, I have to be honest.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I think 1996 is out because I'm fairly sure
0:07:24 > 0:07:28we haven't had any recent disastrous treks to Everest.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32'52 seems very early.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'm going to say 1974.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Purely because I don't think it's either of the other two, really.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I'm going to surprise you, it was the most recent one.- Oh!
0:07:44 > 0:07:45It was 1996.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Selena, sorry, no way back for you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Lisa is in the final round, but early days.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Please return, rejoin your teams. We'll play on.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Well, we're early in the contest
0:07:56 > 0:07:59but the Muscateers have lost a brain and the Eggheads are still,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02as things stand, going to be all there in the final round.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05But lots to play for. The next subject is Sport.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Who wants the Sport?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- I don't think there's any contest about this, is there, Gary? No.- OK.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Who do we fancy? Who's looking sporting over there?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Well, non-sporting.- She loves Sport, she's the pretty good at it.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17She's done well on Sport lately. Yes.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22- Erm, we'll take Kevin, please. - Ooh! Really? You sure?- Yes.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23- Yeah? OK.- Ooh!
0:08:23 > 0:08:29Gary from the Muscateers versus Kevin from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Please go to the Question Room.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So, Gary, on Sport, do you want to go first or second?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Here we go. And good luck to you, Gary.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Which of these venues hosted matches of the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Murrayfield I've not, I think Murrayfield was used
0:08:54 > 0:08:56for a different purpose.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Stade de France, I'm going to go the Millennium Stadium.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Millennium Stadium is quite right. Well done, Gary.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Kevin, which of these countries plays test match cricket?
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Well, the one that plays test match cricket there is Zimbabwe.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Although Afghanistan are knocking on the door, I think, at times.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- But Zimbabwe are a test country. - Yes, you're right, Zimbabwe it is.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24One each. Back to you, Gary.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27How tall is the boxer Tyson Fury?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35As a heavyweight, I don't think he's 5ft 3 for certain, so...
0:09:35 > 0:09:38And I think he's taller than me so he's more than 6ft,
0:09:38 > 0:09:39so I'm going to go for 6ft 9.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43He is indeed 6ft 9. He's a very tall, strapping guy.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Kevin, Dr Eva Carneiro worked at which Premier League football club
0:09:50 > 0:09:53from 2009 to 2015?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01We all know all about this one. As a Chelsea fan.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Got into a bit of a controversy with Mr Mourinho and she was at Chelsea.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Yes! Created a horrible domino effect, didn't it, Eggheads?- It did.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Which seemed to result in the loss of an interesting manager.- Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You're right, Chelsea it is, Kevin.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Both playing well, very tight game.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Gary, which British long jumper won a silver medal
0:10:23 > 0:10:27at the 2015 World Athletics Championships?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Don't think it was Shara Proctor.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Erm, I think she just missed out,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I'm going to go with Katrina Johnson-Thompson.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42You're wrong, it's Shara Proctor.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Shara Proctor is the right answer.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47And this gives Kevin a chance. Kevin?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51New Zealand's Lydia Ko is a famous name in which sport?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Yeah, the name Ko comes... Well, she's of Korean descent.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01But she, in 2015,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04she became the youngest ever women's world number one in golf.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Golf is the right answer.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13So hard to get any flies on Kevin, I must say, Gary.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Played well but he's got three out of three there, as he often does.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19So I'm sorry, you've been knocked out by our Egghead
0:11:19 > 0:11:22and as a result, will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Please come back, please rejoin your teams.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29So, the Muscateers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31The Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Let's see if you can stop them now with a bit of Muscateering.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38The next subject is Geography, so who would like this?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Sydney.- Syd? - Yeah, I'll go for that, yeah.- OK.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Retired machine operator Syd against which Egghead?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- I'll take Judith. - I say we go Judith, yeah?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51So, Syd from the Muscateers on Geography
0:11:51 > 0:11:52against Judith from the Eggheads.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Please go to the Question Room.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- So, I know you travel quite a bit on your motorbike, Syd?- I do.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I haven't been the last couple of years but normally
0:12:01 > 0:12:05around Europe, I've been up to Denmark, across down to Venice.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Germany and France are the normal destinations,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10but Switzerland we've done.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Ireland, I've done that in the past.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Is it scary?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Er, sometimes you go on these roads and they're a bit hairy
0:12:16 > 0:12:19when you're looking down one side and there's a 2,000-foot drop
0:12:19 > 0:12:22and there's a mountain on the other side. It's a bit scary, yeah.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Have you ever ridden a motorbike, Judith?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Well, I've been on the back of one. - Have you? When was that?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Oh, a long time ago.- Was it scary?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I had a friend who had Harley-Davidsons
0:12:32 > 0:12:33and whirled about in them.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35He was very, very fast so it was rather frightening.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38OK, every few shows, we learn something new about you.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- I think the last time, we learned you had a pony.- Yes, I had a pony.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- And now we've learned you've been on the back of a Harley-Davidson.- Yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Surprising things.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So Geography, Syd, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I'll go first, please, if I may.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55And your first question, Syd, is this.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Which of these is a mountain in Tanzania?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Erm, I have no idea where the middle one is
0:13:05 > 0:13:06but the last one sounds pretty good.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Kilimanjaro for me. - Yes, it is Kilimanjaro, well done.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Judith, the region of Portugal known as the Algarve
0:13:14 > 0:13:17takes its name from the Arabic for what?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Well, I hoped it was going to be the south
0:13:24 > 0:13:26because I thought it was in the south. Erm...
0:13:27 > 0:13:31..I think I'm going to say the west.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Yeah, maybe it's good there wasn't a south
0:13:33 > 0:13:35because you would have chosen it and been wrong.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37The west is the answer. You got there.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39OK, Syd.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Nepal is bordered by India and which other country?
0:13:48 > 0:13:49China.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- China is right. You just suddenly came out with it.- Yeah.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57I thought they were all pretty close but that's the one I went for.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Yeah, well done. Nice one. Judith.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Which of these countries ran a public competition to design
0:14:03 > 0:14:06a new national flag in 2015?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I think that was New Zealand.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13It was New Zealand.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I'm not sure what the result was but you're right about the answer.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17New Zealand.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Syd, your question.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Timgad on the high plateau north of the Aures mountains
0:14:24 > 0:14:26in north-eastern Algeria
0:14:26 > 0:14:29is the site of the ruins of an ancient city
0:14:29 > 0:14:30from which civilisation?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I don't really know this one.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43I know the Romans have ruins around that area. I'll go for the Roman.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Well, that's nice play. You're absolutely right, it is Roman.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47It would have been easy to go
0:14:47 > 0:14:49with one of the others there, well done.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Nice work, three out of three. Is the tide turning?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Let's see, Judith, can you stay in?
0:14:54 > 0:14:59What is the approximate area of Mexico in square kilometres?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Oh, would be! I deal in miles!
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- The metric martyr now, are you?- Yes.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- I've no idea. - Square kilometres, Judith.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Why can't we have it in miles? That's what we all think in.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Well, Mexico is pretty big so it's bigger than 2 million.
0:15:20 > 0:15:26So, say it's about 3,000 miles across or 3,500.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27And three up.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32And then convert that from kilometres into miles to get a...
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- I mean, prepare to be here for a long time.- As long as you want.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38I think it's probably 12 million.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I simply can't sit here and work the sums out
0:15:41 > 0:15:42but I should think it's 12 million.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I don't know how to say this. You're wrong.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47I'm very cross.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50I know you're cross. 2 million is the answer.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Wait till I get hold of the question setter. I know where he is!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57HE CHUCKLES
0:15:57 > 0:16:01OK! Sorry, Judith, but there are questions in kilometres.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- It's one of these things. - Oh, really? It was two.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- I thought you were going to say 20. - 2 million is the answer.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- No, it's really smaller than you thought.- Ah.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Syd, sorry, we were taking away from your limelight.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13You've done really well, you've beaten an Egghead.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Thank you very much.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16And it could just be the tide is turning for our Challengers.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Come back to us.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20We will see what happens in our last round before the final
0:16:20 > 0:16:23and probably get it in the neck for the kilometres as well.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Well, Syd is the hero of the hour, Jen.- Absolutely.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Shows it can be done. Revved up the motorbike.- Oh, yes.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- And straight off.- Yes!
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Good, so feeling good?- Yes.- Yes, OK.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Well, you're getting closer.- Depends on the next category.- Exactly.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41One more, then the final.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44You've lost two brains, the Eggheads have now lost a brain themselves.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46The next subject for you is Music.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- So who would like this, Jen?- Damn!
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Jen or Gary?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Have I got to bite the bullet?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- I know nothing about music. - You're very bad.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I think I'm going to bite the bullet.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00OK, Jen from the Muscateers. But who would you like to play?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Dave in the middle or Pat? - A conversation about it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04What do you guys think for music?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Trying to glean something from their eyes as to whether
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- they're pleased with this or not. - They're both pretty good.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- They're both pretty good.- Yeah. - Sometimes they have off days.- Dave.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Dave.- Dave? Yeah.- All right.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18So, Jen from the Muscateers versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I could sense the tension as you made that decision.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Don't worry, Jen. It's going to be good.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24To ensure there's no conferring,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26please take your positions in the special room.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- OK, Jen. This is the moment. Are you ready?- I am.- Good, good.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Now you're up against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Music, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well, I think I better do what everybody else has done
0:17:39 > 0:17:41and go first, please.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47So, good luck, this is a really big round now.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50In the lyrics from the Queen song Bohemian Rhapsody,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53"I see a little silhouetto of a man,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56"Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the" what?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Well, I won't sing it, not in front of you, anyway. But it's...
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- ..fandango!- It is, "Will you do the fandango?" Very good.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Go on, Jen.- Absolutely.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13All right, Dave.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Who did the rapper Jay-Z marry in 2008?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- It's Beyonce. - So his fiancee was Beyonce?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Fiancee was Beyonce.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26The answer is correct.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Over to you, Jen.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Which character adopts the false identity of Monsieur Madeleine
0:18:34 > 0:18:37in the stage musical Les Miserables?
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Oh, crikey.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47I must be one of the few people in the world that has never seen this.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I started to watch the film but I found it very dark.
0:18:52 > 0:18:59Erm, I will take a guess, and this is a guess, at Javert.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02No, it's Valjean. The first one.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Dave.- Mm-hm.
0:19:04 > 0:19:10Can't Feel My Face was a 2015 hit single by which Canadian singer?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I've got no idea.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22My teenage daughter will be shouting at me.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Erm, Charlie Puth.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- No, you're wrong!- Mm-hm.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- The Weeknd.- Hmm.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32So, there we go.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33All right, Jen.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38The jazz trumpeter Harry Edison, born in 1915,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40was best known by which nickname?
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Sweets.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- What do you think, team? - I would have said Lockjaw.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53None of us have got a clue
0:19:53 > 0:19:55but we would have plumped for Lockjaw as a team.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57They would have said Lockjaw.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Eggheads, do you know the answer?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- I think it's Sweets. - Sweets is the answer!
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Well done! SHE GASPS
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Well done to you. OK, you've got two points out of three.- Go, Jen!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Let's see.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09So, a bit of pressure on our Dave now.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14What is the only completed opera by the French composer Claude Debussy?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Right.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Now, I've got a big problem here.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'm sorry, Kevin.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34Because I thought Pelleas And Melisande was a ballet.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35But I could be wrong.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38But it's the only composition out of those
0:20:38 > 0:20:40that I would associate with Debussy.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Yeah, I'm just going to have do go with it because of Debussy
0:20:45 > 0:20:47and go Pelleas Et Melisande.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Pelleas Et Melisande is correct, Dave.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Sorry, Jen.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- He's a blocked you at the pass there.- Yes.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58We go to Sudden Death.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01A bit more difficult because I don't give you alternatives.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Your question, Donauinselfest is a huge music festival
0:21:05 > 0:21:08held annually in which European country?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- I can spell it for you, if you want. - Yes, please.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17D-O-N-A-U-I-N-S-E-L-F-E-S-T.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20All one word. Donauinselfest,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Well, you get beer fests in Germany, don't you?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26So I'll hazard a guess at Germany.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- You're close but it's Austria.- Ah!
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Dave, your question for the round.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36What instrument can Paul Simonon be seen destroying
0:21:36 > 0:21:39on the cover of the Clash album London Calling?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Hmm.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Oh, no! - HE CHUCKLES
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I don't look at album covers.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I'm going to have to just say guitar.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I can accept that. Bass guitar but guitar we were looking for, yeah.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Guitar is correct Dave.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Oh, Jen.- Yes! - You almost got him there.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Oh, Jen!
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Don't worry, your team captain duties continue
0:22:04 > 0:22:06because there is still hope in the final.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Come back to us, both of you. We'll play that final round.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13This is what we've been playing towards, everyone.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14It is time for our final round.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17And as always, we have General Knowledge questions for you.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:19 > 0:22:20are not allowed to take part.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25So, we say goodbye to Jen, Selena and Gary from the Muscateers
0:22:25 > 0:22:27but also Judith from the Eggheads.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:31 > 0:22:36So, Gary and Syd, you're playing to win the Muscateers £7,000.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Kevin, Dave, Lisa, Pat, you're playing for something
0:22:39 > 0:22:43that money really can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49You are allowed to confer.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53So, Muscateers, the question is are your two brains
0:22:53 > 0:22:55better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Good luck, Gary and Syd. Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- We'll go first, I think, yeah. - First please, Jeremy.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05So, here is your question.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10In mythology, Asgard is the home of which family of gods?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Norse.- Norse.- That's Norse, Jeremy.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Norse is right. Well done.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Eggheads, how old was Marilyn Monroe when she died?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- 36.- 36.- She died in 1962. She was born in 1926.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- Sounds about right then? - 36?- 36, yes.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36She was just 36.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38She was, the Candle In The Wind was 36.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Your question, Challengers.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46In October 2015, who was confirmed as the Conservative candidate
0:23:46 > 0:23:49for the 2016 mayoral elections?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I think it's Zac Goldsmith.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00That's fine by me, yeah. I've got no idea.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Go with Zac Goldsmith?- Yeah.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It was Zac Goldsmith.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Zac Goldsmith is correct, well done. - Well done.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Your second question,
0:24:10 > 0:24:11I can sense your tension, Eggs.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14What does the E stand for in the abbreviation
0:24:14 > 0:24:18of the United Nations agency UNESCO?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Is it Ethical, Educational or Environmental?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23- Educational.- Educational?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- We'll go for Educational.- OK.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30We think that's Educational.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Educational is correct.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Eggheads are on two, you guys are on two. Couldn't be closer.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Get this right, you may not have to work again today.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Maybe nothing left to do. Just this one.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47What was the peak weight of Jon Brower Minnoch,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51the heaviest person in medical history?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Well, it's heavier than 30st, isn't it?
0:24:57 > 0:24:5930st is completely out of it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- 100st is quite... - 60st, that's four times me.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07So it could be 100st?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13What do you think?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I'll go for 100. Yeah, go for 100.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- Yeah?- Yeah. 50-50.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20We're going to go for 100, Jeremy.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23OK, I thought you were going to go down the middle there.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24But 100 is right.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26So well done, you've got three out of three.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28OK, Eggheads.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Get this one wrong, the contest is over.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37which of these characters is a mutant rat?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Splinter's a mutant rat. - Splinter, isn't it?
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Shredder's a human being.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Couldn't tell you much about Karai
0:25:47 > 0:25:50but I think Splinter is the rat ninja master, isn't he?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Splinter is a rat. I mean... - Shredder?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55It's my era, I grew up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58or the Hero Turtles as they were usefully sanitised.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I'm just aware that there is a rat called Splinter.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02There is a rat called Splinter
0:26:02 > 0:26:04and I think he was the master of the Ninja Turtles.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- And Shredder is not a rat? - No, he's the super villain.- OK.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I think he was mostly human.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Let's go with Splinter, then.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13We're going for Splinter.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Splinter is correct.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17So they got three out of three as well.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20So guys, we're back to you, we're Sudden Death now in the final.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Couldn't be closer, £7,000 were playing for.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24And here is your Sudden Death question.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Bit more difficult because I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Which expression, meaning an appropriate time of day
0:26:30 > 0:26:32for starting to drink wine
0:26:32 > 0:26:36was added to the Oxford dictionary in August 2015?
0:26:37 > 0:26:392015...
0:26:39 > 0:26:43I've seen some various lists of words but I don't recall this one.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Wine time?
0:26:47 > 0:26:52- Vine time.- Vine time?- Vine time. - As in Jeremy time?- Vine time.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- We're going to go with vine time. - HE LAUGHS
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I thought I heard my name being called out there
0:26:58 > 0:27:00and I was not sure what's going on.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03No, no, I wonder if your fellow competitors know at the back.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- Do you?- Is it wine o'clock? - Wine o'clock.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Why didn't we think of that? - Wine o'clock.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11All right, so the Eggheads have a chance to take the contest
0:27:11 > 0:27:13on this question and here it is.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Three Mile Island,
0:27:14 > 0:27:19the site of a serious nuclear power station accident in 1979
0:27:19 > 0:27:22is located in which US state?
0:27:22 > 0:27:23- Pennsylvania.- Pennsylvania?
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Pennsylvania and Harrisburg. State capital.- But that's where it is?
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Yeah, it's Pennsylvania, yes.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30It's in Pennsylvania.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Pennsylvania.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35If you've got this right, the contest is over.
