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 > 0:00:14arguably 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- Raring to go?- Definitely. - Of course.- All right.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today are Wagger's Wizards.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Now, this team of colleagues from London
0:00:42 > 0:00:43all work for the same hotel chain.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Grant. I'm a senior hotel concierge.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Maggie and I'm a business development executive.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Anass and I'm a hotel concierge.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Elana and I'm a groups and reservations coordinator.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Kenan, I'm a director of sales.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- So, Grant, team, welcome. - Thank you, Jeremy.- Good to see you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Do you quiz together? - We've started off very small.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- We've done a couple of competitions. - Right.- We've done OK.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And Waggers is who or what?
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Waggers is a very special guest services agent in one of our hotels.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- He's a little Labradoodle. - Oh, OK, he's a dog?- He's a dog.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Will he be watching your performance?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26He's monitoring everything we do. Oh, yes.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And do you get time in your working day to see this lot in action?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Oh, yes, quite often.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I was quite ill a few years ago and it became
0:01:35 > 0:01:36quite a part of my life.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39This is one of the big challenges, to be here now on Eggheads.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Well, they say it's addictive watching them.- It is, very much so.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Good, well, good luck to you and your quiz.- Thank you very much.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:47 > 0:01:49up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57So, Wagger's Wizards, the Eggheads have won the last eight games,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59which means £9,000...
0:01:59 > 0:02:00- Wow.- ..says you can't beat them.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04The Eggheads seem to have those smiles wiped off their faces.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Geography?- Who would like this?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Who wants to do that?- Got to be. - Anass?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Yes, yes? - It's got to be Anass, please.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17OK, Anass against which Egghead?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- I'll pick Judith.- Right.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23She hasn't done Geography for a while.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Oh, well, about five, six days ago.- Yeah.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- So, our 1,501st show, this is.- Wow.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Anass from Wagger's Wizards versus Judith who was here
0:02:33 > 0:02:35right at the start on Eggheads.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Just to ensure there's no conferring, would you both please
0:02:38 > 0:02:40take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43All right, good luck on geography, Anass.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Can I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53You can indeed, here is your first question.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Which of these Brazilian cities is located on the Atlantic Ocean?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I'm not quite sure about this question, Jeremy.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12But I believe it's going to be Belo Horizonte.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13It's actually not, it's Rio.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Rio de Janeiro is the right answer.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Judith, Macedonia is located on which geographical peninsula?
0:03:26 > 0:03:32Oh, not Sinai and Iberia is Spain and Portugal. So, it's the Balkan.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Balkan is correct, so one point to our Egghead.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Back to you, Anass.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Canada consists of three territories and how many provinces?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I'm not quite sure again about this question, Jeremy.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53I believe it's going to be good if this answer had been answered
0:03:53 > 0:03:57by my friend Elana because she's from Canada.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58However...
0:04:00 > 0:04:02..I'm going to choose the middle answer.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- OK.- Which is six. - Six is your answer.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Let's go to Elana because you are from Canada.- I am from Canada, yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- Is he right?- No!- Oh.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13So, three territories and how many provinces?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- 10.- 10 is the answer.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17OK, don't worry.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19But, Judith, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23The M40 motorway connects Birmingham with which city?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30The M40? Well, that goes out past White City.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33So it must be London.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37London is the right answer, Judith. So, two to Judith.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Anass, I'm sorry, no way back for you.- It's all right.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Don't worry at all.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44You've been beaten by our Egghead but it's early, early days here.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Return to us, both of you. Rejoin your teams, please.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52OK, difficult start for Wagger's Wizards, lost a brain.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54But don't worry, the Eggheads have not lost any
0:04:54 > 0:04:56but there's much to play for.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59The next subject is Film & TV.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Who would like this?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Who's going to do this? You're going to do it, Grant?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- I'll take it if you want it.- Yeah. - Yes, I'll go and take it.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09OK, team captain Grant. Against which Egghead? Can't be Judith.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13It's going to be a dream come true. I'm going to take on Kevin, please.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- All right. So, the Grand Master! - Well done.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Grant from Wagger's Wizards versus Kevin from the Eggheads
0:05:20 > 0:05:23on Film & TV. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:05:23 > 0:05:24please take your positions.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Grant, do you want to go first or second on Film & TV?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm going to put the pressure on and go first, please.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Grant, good luck. Here's your first question.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42In which Stephen Spielberg film does Alfred Molina deliver the line,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44"No time to argue.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47"Throw me the idol, I throw you the whip."
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Right. I don't think it's Jaws.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56And I think there's a clue,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59or I'm hoping there's a clue in the title there.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02So I'm going to go for Raiders Of The Lost Ark, please.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Absolutely right, Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08The idol in question being, I guess, the Ark. Or something like it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10OK, here is your question, Kevin.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Who is the regular host of the daytime TV show The Wright Stuff?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Hmm.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I'm sort of vaguely aware that Ian Wright has got a show
0:06:26 > 0:06:28which I think might be called The Wright Stuff.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31But I don't know it so I will say Ian Wright
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- because I know he's got a show somewhere.- Ian Wright?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Gosh, that's going to so upset Matthew.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41It's, yeah, it's kind of a daytime, I think daily show.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Dave, you tell us.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It's like a chat show magazine type of show
0:06:46 > 0:06:48where they look at the newspapers, the daily events,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52and then have certain guests in and they have an audience.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55And callers. I always think it's a bit like my show on Radio 2
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- in a way, but for TV.- Your show is better than that one, Jeremy.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01A lot better. But, yeah, it is
0:07:01 > 0:07:05a magazine show just looking at the daily things on Channel 5.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Well, there we are, Kevin.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08We discovered that you're not a daytime TV man.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I am not, I'm certainly not, no.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- We'll hit you with a question about Jeremy Kyle one day.- Oh, great.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Send you spinning. Matthew Wright is the answer.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Now this is looking a bit handy for you, Grant.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21He doesn't slip up very often, particularly not on this subject.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25So, your question is which former England rugby union player
0:07:25 > 0:07:30became a presenter on the TV show Crimewatch in 2012?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38OK, erm, I've played rugby quite a lot
0:07:38 > 0:07:39and I've loved the England rugby team.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Brian Moore was a forward, quite aggressive
0:07:44 > 0:07:46so I don't think it would be him.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Er, Lawrence Dallaglio, that was a captain again, was a forward.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I'm going to have to go for Martin Bayfield, please.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Nicely done, you're right, well done. Good stuff, captain.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Martin Bayfield.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06So, Kevin, get this wrong, you're out.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Who was the co-creator and main writer
0:08:08 > 0:08:11of the classic sitcom The Liver Birds?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17That was Carla Lane.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I knew you'd get that, Carla Lane is correct.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Now you mustn't let him back in here, Grant.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- I'm going to do my best. - Get this right, you're in the final.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Which character performed the Truffle Shuffle
0:08:31 > 0:08:33in the 1985 film The Goonies?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I'm really, really going to struggle with this one.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Erm, and there's not a lot to go on on the question.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48So, it's going to have to be a stab in the dark
0:08:48 > 0:08:50at Chunk, please.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Team, is he right?- Yes!
0:08:54 > 0:08:58You're right, Grant, and you're in the final as well. Well done.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Well done to their team captain.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04That was well played because with no information at all,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06was that just a complete guess, was it?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09It was a total guess, it was a lucky guess on that one.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Good for you, I don't know the answer to that question either.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Chunk is right, you're in the final.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Kevin, sorry, you've been knocked out, my friend.- OK.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18You won't be in the final round. Please come back to us.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Very evenly balanced, let's see what happens next.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Well, Grant, firstly, well done.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29That's a seriously superhuman effort and you'll go and watch,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31what was that film that we talked about? The Goonies.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- The Goonies, I'm going to go home and...- Get it out.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Buy ten copies, yeah.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38And on Raiders, I shouldn't have got confused between the idol
0:09:38 > 0:09:39and the Ark.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41The idol is at the beginning, isn't it?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Yes, that's where Alfred Molina appears.- Right.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46So, you've lost a brain but they have too.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48The Eggheads have lost a brain as well.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- It's equal and the next subject is Art & Books.- Oh!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Who would like this?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Foregone conclusion. - That would be me.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- It's you.- Elana?- Yeah?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- It's going to be me. Yeah. - Against which Egghead, Elana?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I'm going to take on Chris.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Chris?- Excellent.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Elana from Wagger's Wizards and Canada, am I right?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- And Canada, yes.- Versus Chris from the Eggheads, and Crewe.- And Crewe.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Canada plays Crewe. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- So we mentioned Canada, Elana.- Yes. - When did you move over?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- I moved here last February. - Oh, so recent?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Yes, have not been a year yet.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27And I know you had to struggle with this thing of
0:10:27 > 0:10:29do you bring your whole book collection over?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32It was quite the struggle because I couldn't fit them all in.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36I fit them in every nook and cranny and every single box and suitcase.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I brought over probably about 250 of them between there.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42And whenever someone comes to visit,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44they have to go bring some more back with me.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Cos it was hard, it was like leaving my babies at home.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Well, I know books are like a signature, aren't they?
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- Yes, they are.- And so, which book could you not be without?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55There's a few that I couldn't leave behind.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I read the Count Of Monte Cristo once a year
0:10:58 > 0:11:01and Les Mis I read every year.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Plus, I have a really old copy of Gone With The Wind
0:11:04 > 0:11:06that I really couldn't leave behind either.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Wonderful, so classics, really?- Yes.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Good luck in this round. Arts & Books.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Elana, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19And here is your first question, Elana.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Which character in the Lord Of The Rings books
0:11:22 > 0:11:24is also known as Strider?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I've actually read the series a few times,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34so I'm fairly confident that Strider is also known as Aragorn.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Yeah. My goodness, you read books twice. That's amazing!- Yeah, I do!
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- That is brilliant. You just must be reading the whole time.- I do, a lot.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45OK, Chris.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Michael Morpurgo's War Horse first appeared in which format?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Well, Michael Morpurgo's a children's author
0:11:56 > 0:11:58so presumably, it first appeared as a book.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Yes, it did. It was a book, well done.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Elana, in 2015,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07a new entry in the Millennium series of books
0:12:07 > 0:12:10was released entitled The Girl In The what?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19OK, I haven't read this series yet, it's on my list to read.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24But I've seen some books out there.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I believe it's Spider's Web.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Yeah, well done. So this is Stieg Larsson
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- we're on here, isn't it?- Yes!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I've read the three and this is the fourth, Eggheads, isn't it?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It's a writer called David Lagercrantz who was the one
0:12:38 > 0:12:43who was selected by Stieg Larsson's family to...
0:12:43 > 0:12:45There were issues there.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47..to carry on the series.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Stieg Larsson had originally envisaged a series of about ten.- Oh.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53So he obviously only got as far as,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56in fact they'd not been published at the point when he died.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58OK, Spider's Web is correct. Chris?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03The Master Builder is a play by which writer?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11It's a typically gloomy play by Henrik Ibsen.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14You are right, Ibsen it is.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16So, we're equal here.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Elana, your question.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Wivenhoe Park, Essex, is an 1816 oil painting by which artist?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Wivenhoe is W-I-V-E-N-H-O-E.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33More confident with books than I am with art.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36But I believe
0:13:36 > 0:13:38it's JMW Turner.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I think it might be too early for Turner but let me see.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- When was Turner, guys? - It could have been Turner, yes.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Because he and Constable are almost exact contemporaries.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50So it could have been Turner, date wise.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- But the answer is John Constable. - No, OK.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55OK, Chris has the initiative.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57If you get this right, you're in the final, Chris.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Often known simply as Rumi, the great Persian poet
0:14:01 > 0:14:08and Sufi master Jalal Al-Din Rumi lived during which century?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Oh.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15This is a bit obscure.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19The only poet I know from that neck of the woods is Omar Khayyam. Erm...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Probably since it's going, it's obviously from the golden age
0:14:24 > 0:14:28of the culture of that part of the world, I'll say 13th.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Yeah, you just went as early as possible.- Hmm.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32You're right.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- I'm sorry, Elana. You've been knocked out.- OK.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Chris is through on Arts & Books.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39That wretched John Constable painting, hey?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I won't forget that.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44So, come back to us and rejoin your teams, please.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49OK, Wagger's Wizards have lost two brains now from the final round.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51The Eggheads have just lost the one.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53And the next subject is Sport.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Who would like this?- Er... - That's going to be me.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- That's going to be Kenan. - OK, Kenan.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01And because you're my father's favourite, Barry,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03you're going to be my selection.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I see a similarity between you guys.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09So, Kenan from Wagger's Wizards versus Barry,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11his father's favourite.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12What a compliment.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Kenan, I'm detecting a bit of South African.- Absolutely, born and bred.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Wow, that accent. And whereabouts?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I was born in Cape Town, born and raised.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27But spent many years travelling around South Africa as well,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30spent some time in Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- So, pretty much well travelled within South Africa.- Good stuff.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35OK, sport, Kenan, which I know South Africans love.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38I'd like to go first, please.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Good luck.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46At which stage, Kenan, was the England team
0:15:46 > 0:15:50knocked out of the 2015 men's Rugby Union World Cup?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Group stage it was.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Yeah, it was painful, wasn't it? - Absolutely.- Maybe not for you!
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Maybe you thought it was funny.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03All right, we better move off rugby.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Barry, which of these Premier League football managers
0:16:06 > 0:16:08was sacked in October 2015?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Louis van Gaal at that point was still hanging on
0:16:16 > 0:16:17by the skin of his teeth
0:16:17 > 0:16:21and Arsene Wenger is a fixture at Arsenal
0:16:21 > 0:16:23for more years than I care to remember,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25so it must be Brendan Rodgers.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Yeah, from which team?- Liverpool.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Liverpool is right, Brendan Rodgers is the right answer, well done.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Do you follow football, soccer, Kenan?- No, no.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Rugby and a little bit of golf to an extent as well.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Here's your question.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Which heavyweight boxer finally retired in 1997 aged 48
0:16:43 > 0:16:45after his defeat to Shannon Briggs?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55I am going to say Muhammad Ali was obviously many, many years ago,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57George Foreman likewise.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00My answer is going to be Joe Frazier.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03As a matter of fact, yes, but this is going back a way,
0:17:03 > 0:17:04it's nearly 20 years ago.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It is George Foreman, funnily enough.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11All right, so, Barry, you have a chance to take the lead.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Which of these athletics events
0:17:13 > 0:17:16features in a heptathlon competition?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Oh, gosh. Let me think. Heptathlon.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I should know this straight away.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32And...I can't think.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Ah, it normally finishes with a 1,500 metre race,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40so it's 1,500 metres.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Kenan, what do you think?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I've got a feeling it is the 1,500.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Uh-huh, anyone else? Eggheads? - The 200.- The 200.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- This is the decathlon?- The 400 and 1,500 are both in the decathlon.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52This is heptathlon.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Yeah, so the 400 and 1,500 in the decathlon, Barry.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Ah.- Says Kevin. It's 200.- Ah, good question.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02So, Kenan, you've got
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- a let-off there.- Phew.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Here's your question, third question, get this right,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09put some pressure on Barry the Brain.
0:18:09 > 0:18:15Lance Armstrong won and was later stripped of a bronze medal
0:18:15 > 0:18:18in which cycling event at the 2000 Olympic Games?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Oh, bit of a tough one there.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Just trying to figure whether they do the road race
0:18:31 > 0:18:33as part of the Olympics, which I think they do.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35And in that case, I'm going to say
0:18:35 > 0:18:37the road race.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38It was time trial.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Time trial.- Barry, for the round.
0:18:41 > 0:18:47By what nickname is the Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi best-known?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Well, the Rawalpindi Express I think is Akhtar, Shoaib Akhtar,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00so I'll discount him.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Er, Sultan of Swing or Boom Boom?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I think it's Boom Boom.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07If you've got this right, you're in the final round.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Shahid Afridi is best known by the nickname Boom Boom.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Well done, Barry, you're in the final. Sorry, Kenan.- No problem.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Two wrong answers cost you there, you were beaten by our Egghead
0:19:17 > 0:19:19and as a result, you will not be able to help out
0:19:19 > 0:19:21your team in the final round.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23If you come back to us, we will play that final.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Here we are, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It is time for that final round, which, as always,
0:19:30 > 0:19:31is General Knowledge.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:34 > 0:19:35won't be allowed to take part.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39So, that's Anass, Elana and Kenan from the Wagger's Wizards
0:19:39 > 0:19:41and also Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43How often do we see this?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Please leave the studio.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Well, Grant and Maggie, good luck to you.- Thank you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Unusual to have Kevin in the booth over there, exiled.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Well done, Grant.- Maybe it's going to go well in the final.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00You're playing to win £9,000, OK? So, good jackpot today.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Barry, Chris, Judith and Dave, you are playing to keep this
0:20:04 > 0:20:08run of yours going and just build up the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13This time, they're all general knowledge
0:20:13 > 0:20:15and you are allowed to confer.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16So, Wagger's Wizards,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20the question is can your two brains defeat those four?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Would you like to go first or second?- First?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Yes, we'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- OK, Maggie and Grant, good luck. - Thank you.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35In October 2015, large shops in England became required by law
0:20:35 > 0:20:39to charge how much for each single-use plastic carrier bag?
0:20:39 > 0:20:415p?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Yeah, I think we know this one.
0:20:44 > 0:20:455p.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Yeah, 50p would cause riots in the streets, wouldn't it?- Yes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:505p is right.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52OK.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Here's your question, Eggheads.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00What type of military machine is the de-commissioned Avro Vulcan?
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- It's a jet arrow plane. - The Vulcan, the triangular thing.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Big noisy thing.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12We believe that's a jet bomber, please, Jeremy.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Jet bomber is right.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Over to you, Challengers.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22Which of these businesswomen became a Tory peer in 2015?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Erm...
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Deborah Meaden was Dragons' Den, wasn't she?- Yes.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39It's going to be between...
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- I really, really don't know. - Neither do I.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Erm, definitely not Deborah.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49So it's a fifty-fifty shot.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Let's go for...
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'm going for Hilary Devey.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54- Yeah?- Yeah, for some reason.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Fifty-fifty? Go for it?- Yeah.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- We'll go for Hilary Devey, please. - Hilary is your answer.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04OK. She's the one on Dragons' Den? Is that right?
0:22:04 > 0:22:05She was.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- So was Deborah.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- The answer is Michelle Mone.- Sorry.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11- Oh, gone for it.- I think she's a bra...
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Ultimo.- She invented a wonderbra.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- She made a kind of a wonderbra. - Yeah.- I think.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Michelle Mone is the answer, sorry.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Moaning and groaning there.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27OK, Eggheads, to take the lead in this final for £9,000.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Which of these literary characters
0:22:29 > 0:22:33was created by the Swedish author Henning Mankell?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Blomkvist.- It's Mikael Blomkvist. - From the Millennium series.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's Mikael Blomkvist, isn't it?
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Hang on a minute.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I thought it was Wallander.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Is it Wallander?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- I'm just having a second thought now.- Hold on.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Millennium, Stieg Larsson is Millennium.- Yes, it's Wallander.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Kurt Wallander is Henning Mankell because he died not so long.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01And Harry Hole is Jo Nesbo.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Yes, because Henning Mankell died not so long ago, didn't he?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Wallander.- So, it's Kurt Wallander.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11- Kenneth Branagh.- So, we're all happy with that? Kurt Wallander?- Yes.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14We're going to go for Kurt Wallander, please.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Blimey. What happened there?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Well, common sense prevailed.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23It's like your electrical circuit started sparking.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Blomkvist is yeah, Stieg Larsson.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Harry Hole is Jo Nesbo.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Kurt Wallander is the right answer. I thought you'd suddenly...
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Did you think that they'd suddenly gone mad?- I know.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38So, they're in the lead
0:23:38 > 0:23:40and it means you must get this
0:23:40 > 0:23:41one right, your third question.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43We're still in.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize
0:23:45 > 0:23:48was awarded to a group of four organisations
0:23:48 > 0:23:50that were central in the attempts to build
0:23:50 > 0:23:55a pluralistic democracy in which country after its 2011 revolution?
0:24:00 > 0:24:04This is hard. I don't think it's Libya.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- No, I don't think. - No, I don't think it's Libya.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10So, are we going back down to
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Jordan or Tunisia?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Shall we go for it? Tunisia?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Go for it, your call. - You won't blame me?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20I won't blame you, not at all. No, not after Hilary Devey wrong.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22OK, Jeremy. We're going to go
0:24:22 > 0:24:23for Tunisia.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Tunisia is correct.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Well done.- Yes!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Oh, my God.- Well done.- Lucky guess.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Sort of started the Arab Spring that, yes.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Tunisia has put them in contention now
0:24:33 > 0:24:35but will you snatch it away, Eggheads?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38You get this right, the contest is over.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44Crown Prince Philippe became the king of which country in 2013?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Spain.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50- Spain.- Spain. Spain.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Juan Carlos stood down, yes.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- We're happy with Spain, aren't we? - Yeah.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Yeah, we're going to go for Spain, please, Jeremy.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Queen Letizia.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03You're wrong, Eggheads.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Belgium.- Ah!- Belgium.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- We should have asked for a spelling. - A spelling?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's doesn't matter, it's all right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12How many ways of spelling Philippe are there?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Well, the King of Spain is now King Philip VI.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- All right. Well, Eggheads.- We just didn't listen, is the answer.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- No, we didn't listen. - You didn't listen.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22You nearly got the second one wrong as well.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24All right, so it goes to Sudden Death.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Keep focused, they've obviously signally failed to do that
0:25:27 > 0:25:29and let's see if you can win £9,000.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Gets a bit harder now, I don't give you alternatives.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37In October 2015, the pool of numbers for players to choose six from
0:25:37 > 0:25:42in the main UK national lottery Lotto draw
0:25:42 > 0:25:46increased from 49 to how many?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- 59.- 59?- I'm sure it's 59. - Go for it.- I think.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's 59.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Yes, 59.- Definitely. 59.
0:25:55 > 0:25:5659.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Maggie, you're right. Well done. 59.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Yes!
0:26:00 > 0:26:01So, now the pressure's on them,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03you may not have to do any more!
0:26:03 > 0:26:07£9,000 on the table, you've won the money if they get this wrong.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Sudden Death.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12How many knights are on the board at the start of a game of chess?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Two on each side.- That's four. - I don't know.- Yeah, four, four.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- We're going for four. - We're being careful now.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22We've learned!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25We're going to go for four, please, Jeremy.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28If you've got it wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31But of course, that is the right answer. Four.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I noticed Judith has now decided not to say anything
0:26:34 > 0:26:36for the rest of the game.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Just don't shout Spain, that's the main thing, Judith.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40That's where it went wrong.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42All right, your question, Sudden Death.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Which political pamphleteer was born in Thetford in Norfolk
0:26:47 > 0:26:52in 1737 and died in New York City in 1809?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I really haven't got a clue.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- I haven't got a clue. - I don't know any...
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Can't even think a way of guessing or trying to work this one.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Neither do I. I'm really helpless.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- No idea.- I don't know.- Don't know.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- We're going to have to pass on that one, Jeremy.- You sure?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Yeah, really don't know.- Don't know. - Eggheads, do you know this one?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Tom Paine.- Thomas Paine is the right answer, yeah. Thomas Paine.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19OK, so, Eggheads, if you get this right,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22the game is over.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23In Greek mythology,
0:27:23 > 0:27:28what was the family relationship between Poseidon and Zeus?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Brothers.- Definitely.- Brothers.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Three brothers - Poseidon, Zeus and Hades.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- OK, so brothers?- Yes.
0:27:36 > 0:27:42- Reliably informed that they were brothers, Jeremy.- Fingers crossed.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Brothers is the right answer. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46You have won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54So, just to be clear, Felipe of Spain came in 2014,
0:27:54 > 0:27:55- a different year.- Right, right.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58And is spelt differently so the spelling might have helped there.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01We say commiserations, you were only a question away
0:28:01 > 0:28:02from the jackpot there.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Thank you, Jeremy. - But thank you. And well done.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Yes, it sort of comes naturally most of the time,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I think it's fair to say.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Other times, it's a bit of a struggle.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12But this winning streak continues
0:28:12 > 0:28:15and I can officially say it's an impressive streak now, Eggheads.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18It does mean you won't be going home with the £9,000.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20So, the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Eggheads, very well done.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24And how you entertained us today!
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Oh, my goodness. Bumpy?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Well, let's see what happens next time.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33We'll see if a new team of Challengers can take them down.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35£10,000 says they can't. Till then, goodbye.
