0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

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

0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

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

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers

0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Ohh! Smiling broadly, CJ.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Looking forward to this. Looks like a good team.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40OK. Well, that's high praise. They never normally say that, seriously.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Challenging our resident quiz champions today

0:00:43 > 0:00:45are The Simms Roaders.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46Now, this team of friends

0:00:46 > 0:00:49all quiz together at the Simms Road pub in St Helens.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Ray and I'm a retired structural engineer.

0:00:54 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Tony and I'm a retired post office clerk.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Keith, a retired local government officer.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Gavin. I'm a property developer.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Kevin and I'm a retired utility operative.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11So, Ray and team, welcome.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14- ALL:- Hello. Thank you. - Nice to be here.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Fantastic. And the Simms Road pub. Tell us about that, Ray.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21Yeah. Well, it's a very nice pub just on the border

0:01:21 > 0:01:26of St Helens and Wigan where we quiz together.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29And it does have another claim to fame, Jeremy.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32It used to be frequented by our friend Pat over there.

0:01:32 > 0:01:33- Is that right?- It is.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36One of very few pubs in the country that I haven't been to.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39And I think it must be one of the ones that he was banned from as well

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- because he doesn't feature there any more.- Is that right, Pat?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44You used to go and have a drink there?

0:01:44 > 0:01:45I used to...

0:01:45 > 0:01:47For about a year, maybe a year and a half,

0:01:47 > 0:01:49I played in a quiz team there about five years ago.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51And then they found you out?

0:01:51 > 0:01:53I don't know what happened, I can't remember.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Didn't get invited back.- I think he won all the money, Jeremy.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59They're only here, these five, cos they've been banned

0:01:59 > 0:02:01from every pub in the country. That's the reason.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04- All right, but you like quizzing, guys?- Oh, yes.- OTHERS:- Yes.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Good stuff. And are you looking forward to taking on these five?

0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Absolutely.- OTHERS:- Yes. - The fearsome five. Well, good luck.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:02:11 > 0:02:13for our Challengers.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:15 > 0:02:18the prize-money rolls over to the next show.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Now, Simms Roaders, the Eggheads are on a roll.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25It's official. They've won the last ten in a row,

0:02:25 > 0:02:27which these days is hard to do, actually.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28You get some very good teams in here.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33So it does mean £11,000 is up there for you to win today.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Would you like to try? - We'll have a go.- OTHERS:- Yes.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37I thought you might.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.

0:02:40 > 0:02:41Who wants Music?

0:02:41 > 0:02:45- OK, so we've got....- One of you two.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- ..Tony or Gavin.- You go. - OK, it'll be me.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- OK.- I think we'll take... - Which Egghead?

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Who shall we play against? - I think Chris?- Chris?

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Yeah? Are we OK with that? - Take on Chris?

0:02:59 > 0:03:02Gavin from The Simms Roaders against Chris from the Eggheads.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions

0:03:05 > 0:03:08in our legendary Question Room?

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Music, Gavin. Do you want to go first or second?

0:03:10 > 0:03:12I'll go first, please.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Good luck to you.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21The piccolo is a smaller version of which instrument?

0:03:25 > 0:03:29OK. I'm fairly certain it's not the bassoon.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32I think I will go for the flute.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Yes, indeed. Well done, Gavin. The flute.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37OK, Chris.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Which former Radio 1 breakfast show host

0:03:40 > 0:03:45began presenting a Radio 2 programme called Sounds Of The '80s in 2013?

0:03:50 > 0:03:54It wouldn't be Noel Edmonds cos he's doing other things.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Sounds Of The '80s?

0:03:56 > 0:03:58It's a bit late for Tony Blackburn, isn't it?

0:03:58 > 0:04:02He was more of a sort of '60s person, so I'll say Sara Cox.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03Sara Cox is right.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Gavin, Rachel Platten

0:04:06 > 0:04:08had a UK number one single

0:04:08 > 0:04:11with which song in September 2015?

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Hm. That's not something I actually know the answer to,

0:04:18 > 0:04:21so I'm going to have to have a bit of a guess.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25I will have to try Black Magic.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Fight Song, Gavin.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29# This is my fight song. #

0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Didn't know that.- Chris, your question to take the lead.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32Stephanie Mangano

0:04:32 > 0:04:35is a character in which stage musical?

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Not Rock Of Ages.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Saturday Night Fever, that's...

0:04:45 > 0:04:47No, that's Stayin' Alive, isn't it?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Yeah, she's got to be one of the motley crew in Rent.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Now, I'm not sure which part she plays,

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- but she's actually in Saturday Night Fever.- Oh!

0:04:55 > 0:04:58All right. Gavin,

0:04:58 > 0:05:01the rapper Macklemore is best known for collaborating

0:05:01 > 0:05:03with which of these musicians?

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Wonderful subject, rap.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Absolutely no idea, I'm afraid.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14I will have to guess.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I will go for Ryan Adams.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Yeah, he's, I guess, the best-known name there.- Hm.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- It's not him, though. It's Ryan Lewis actually.- Oh, dear.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25So, Chris, you have a chance to take the round.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Here is your question.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29In whose arms does the title character die

0:05:29 > 0:05:31in the Verdi opera Aida?

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Er...dah-dah-dah.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41The only one I recognise there as a character of Aida is Radames.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Barry, is he right? - Yes, he is indeed.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Are the others from Aida?- Yes, yes.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Radames is the right answer, Chris.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52You chose the name you recognised.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Sorry that didn't work for you, Gavin.- No.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56You've been knocked out by big Chris Hughes,

0:05:56 > 0:05:58who will be in the final round.

0:05:58 > 0:05:59If you come back to us, we'll play on.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04So as it stands, The Simms Roaders have lost a brain

0:06:04 > 0:06:05from the final round.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Chris is in the final. Are we celebrating?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Well, a self-congratulatory pat on the back

0:06:11 > 0:06:12for remembering Radames from Aida.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Yeah, sure you are. You got a nice opera question there.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18And the next subject is Science.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20So, Ray, who wants this?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22- I think this is me.- It is.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24I think you're right.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26I think this is me, Jeremy.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30OK, Ray. Against which Egghead? You can choose anyone but Chris.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33I think I'll choose my favourite Egghead - Judith.

0:06:33 > 0:06:38- Oh, thank you. Flattery will get you everywhere.- It will.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40We'll see.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Ray from Simms Roaders versus the great Judith Keppel

0:06:44 > 0:06:45from the Eggheads.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51Ray, I thought you might have gone for Music

0:06:51 > 0:06:53cos you're a qualified line dancer.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Well, line dance instructor, Jeremy.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58So teaching line dancing?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Teaching line dancing. Yeah, that's right.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- I'll show you some steps afterwards if you like.- I'd love to.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04Judith, are you up for that?

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Yes, I think we all ought to be lined up and given a lesson.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Completely free of charge, Jeremy. No charge.- All right, brilliant.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Well, Jeremy can dance, as we all know.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Ahh!- Well, that's disputed, that is disputed.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21Well, if I'd have been teaching you, Jeremy, you may have won. Who knows?

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Yeah, I can see...

0:07:22 > 0:07:25There were attractions in being taught by Karen Clifton, I must say,

0:07:25 > 0:07:26but you're right, Ray,

0:07:26 > 0:07:28it would have been interesting to be taught by you.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30So bizarrely, we now move to Science,

0:07:30 > 0:07:32which is quite a long way from line dancing.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Would you like to go first or second, Ray?

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I'll go first please, Jeremy.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42You're going to go first. And here is your first question, Ray.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45By what name is a female fox known?

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Well, I think a doe is a female deer.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53A mare is a female horse.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56So the female fox is a vixen.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Vixen is quite right. What a great word that is as well.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Very useful word.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Judith, which planet in the solar system

0:08:05 > 0:08:08is named after the Roman god of the sea?

0:08:12 > 0:08:14I think that might be Neptune.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16- With his trident.- With his trident, exactly.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19You're so right, Neptune it is.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Back to you, Ray.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Traditional cathode ray tube televisions

0:08:24 > 0:08:28divide the signal into red, green and which other colour?

0:08:30 > 0:08:34These are primary colours, aren't they? Cathode ray.

0:08:34 > 0:08:39Well, it's not orange because that's a mixture of yellow and red.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Er, red, yellow...

0:08:43 > 0:08:45I think it's blue, Jeremy.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46It is blue, well done.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51All right. Let's see if you can turn the heat on now.

0:08:51 > 0:08:56Judith, the pangolin is a mammal also commonly known by what name?

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Well, I think duck-billed platypus is sort of on its own

0:09:05 > 0:09:07with one name, isn't it?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09And it's definitely not a ring-tailed lemur.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I think it's a scaly anteater.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Scaly anteater is quite right.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16So, Ray, at the moment, I'm afraid Judith

0:09:16 > 0:09:19is playing a perfect round, but then so are you.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- That's fine. That's fine. - So this is the moment to take her.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25The Swedish-born scientist Tomas Lindahl

0:09:25 > 0:09:28was a co-winner of which Nobel prize in 2015

0:09:28 > 0:09:31with Paul Modrich and Aziz Sancar?

0:09:35 > 0:09:40Yeah, I'll have to just think about this one a little bit.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45I think I've possibly read this.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49I hope I'm not mistaken, I think it's chemistry, Jeremy.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Do you know what it was for?

0:09:53 > 0:09:57Er, fiendish experiments possibly. I don't know.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Well, Barry's quietly applauding here. Chemistry's the right answer.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Right, Judith under pressure now.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06What is the medical term for earwax?

0:10:11 > 0:10:15Well, tinea pedis, I think that's athlete's foot, isn't it?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18And myalgia is kind of aching in your bones or something.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20I think it's cerumen.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22It is cerumen. Well done.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23So, three each.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25We go to Sudden Death, Ray.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- It gets a tiny bit harder cos I don't give you alternatives.- Yeah.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34PU is the symbol for which radioactive chemical element

0:10:34 > 0:10:39of the actinide series on the periodic table?

0:10:39 > 0:10:43Well, I hope I'm not making this too obvious, but PU,

0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'm going for plutonium.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Plutonium is quite right, Well done.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Good round so far, not a hair out of place.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Sudden Death.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Judith, Mimus polyglottos is the scientific name

0:10:56 > 0:11:00for the common or northern variety of which bird

0:11:00 > 0:11:03that is well-known for its ability to mimic the calls

0:11:03 > 0:11:06of dozens of other bird species?

0:11:06 > 0:11:10Well, I absolutely know this and I simply can't think.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13I mean, I want to say mynah bird,

0:11:13 > 0:11:16but I don't think that's a northern hemisphere bird.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18I think it's a tropical bird of some kind.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23I'm going to have to say mynah bird, but I really think it's wrong.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26How about this for a clue, Judith? And obviously you're wrong.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30- To Kill A...- Mockingbird.- Sorry!

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- You've been knocked out. - Oh, how annoying.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34Well done, Ray.

0:11:36 > 0:11:37Ray is through to the final.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Maybe things are turning in the Challengers' way.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Please, both of you, rejoin your teams, we'll play on.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47As it stands, Simms Roaders have lost a brain,

0:11:47 > 0:11:50but they've fought back and they've knocked out Judith.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53I say that without pleasure. JUDITH CHUCKLES

0:11:53 > 0:11:56And you fought well, but you are a goner.

0:11:56 > 0:11:57The next...

0:11:57 > 0:11:59The next object is Arts & Books.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02So who would like Arts & Books? This should be yours, Ray...

0:12:02 > 0:12:06- with your English A-level.- Yeah, well...- It's a sacrificial lamb.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Sacrificial lamb.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Are you going for this, Kevin? - I'll go for it, yeah.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13We did have you down for this as a possibility.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16And you never know, they might all be on books about horse racing.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- They could be, yeah. - So, it's Kevin.- OK.

0:12:19 > 0:12:24Kevin against...? You can have Barry or CJ or Pat.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28- What do you think?- Well, I'll go for Pat The Eliminator Gibson.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Oh, The Eliminator. - That's our nickname for Pat.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36The Eliminator because he weighs up the question so carefully,

0:12:36 > 0:12:39and he eliminates the wrong answers,

0:12:39 > 0:12:42and he nearly always finishes up with the correct answer.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43He makes quizzing sexy.

0:12:43 > 0:12:48Yes. Erm...yeah. I'll come back to you on that.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Cos he teases the opponent and then he...- He does. He's very good.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- We're talking about you, Pat. - I'm not sure I recognise myself.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59So it is Kevin from Simms Roaders versus Pat from the Eggheads.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Please go to the Question Room now.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05So you were being showered with compliments there, Pat.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08I shall attempt to live up to my Eliminator nickname.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10So, yeah, you may have tempted fate there, Kevin.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14- I think so, yes.- But you do it in a dastardly manner, Pat.

0:13:14 > 0:13:15You just think and think and think,

0:13:15 > 0:13:17and then suddenly the answer comes out.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Dastardly is best, isn't it?

0:13:19 > 0:13:21When you go silent for long periods,

0:13:21 > 0:13:23- what are you normally thinking about?- My childhood.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Happy places. Whatever!

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Kevin, Arts & Books against the fearsome Pat.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30Would you like to go first or second?

0:13:30 > 0:13:33I'll go with the flow, I'll go first, please.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37OK, so here is your question.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Who is the villain in the Brothers Grimm fairytale

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Hansel and Gretel?

0:13:44 > 0:13:46As I say, I'm not very well up on the books,

0:13:46 > 0:13:49but if I was going for one...

0:13:50 > 0:13:52..I'll go for the giant.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53Let's have a think, Hansel and Gretel.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Suddenly I'm panicking trying to recall this one. What happens?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Is there an apple in it? - No, a gingerbread house.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00- A gingerbread house... - Oh, gingerbread house.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03- ..lived in by a witch.- A witch.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05It's a witch who lives in a gingerbread house.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09Witch is the right answer. Let's go to Pat.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13Which of these literary detectives was created by Ruth Rendell?

0:14:18 > 0:14:23Ah, I think Jane Marple is from Agatha Christie.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Adam Dalgliesh is PD James.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31And Reg, Reginald or Reg Wexford is by Ruth Rendell.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33So Reginald Wexford.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Reginald Wexford is the right answer.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38OK, back to you, Kevin.

0:14:38 > 0:14:43Catriona is the sequel to which 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson novel?

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Ah, dear. Well, I don't think it's Treasure Island.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57Erm... Kidnapped, that's Scottish. Catriona.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02I'll go for Prince Otto.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04The answer here is Kidnapped.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Kidnapped.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09So if Pat gets this one right, the round is over.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I,

0:15:12 > 0:15:16which sold for a world record 135 million in 2006,

0:15:16 > 0:15:19is a painting by which artist?

0:15:23 > 0:15:29It's very much in his distinctive style,

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Vienna Secession, I think, and all that.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33It's a work by Klimt.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35Klimt is the right answer, Pat, well done.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Sorry, Kevin, you've been knocked out by our Egghead there.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- No problem.- But you've had the full Pat experience, no doubt about that.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Oh, yes!- The silent destroyer.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45So as a result you can't help your team in the final.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Please come back to us and we will play the next round.

0:15:50 > 0:15:51OK, we've had three rounds.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55The Simms Roaders have lost two brains,

0:15:55 > 0:15:57but the Eggheads have also lost a brain.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00The next subject is Sport.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03So, I was expecting you to go, "Yes!"

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- It looks like it's me.- Yeah. - You look very reluctant there.

0:16:06 > 0:16:11- It looks like it's me then. - Another sacrificial thing here.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Keith?- Yes, it's me.- OK. And which Egghead would you like Keith?

0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Oh, either.- I think CJ.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18I think... Yeah, we'll go for CJ.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21He's good on tennis and Formula One, but if they don't...

0:16:21 > 0:16:24He's good on snooker as well.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28So if they don't come up, we're in with a shout.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30So we'll have a go with CJ, please.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Righty Ho. So Keith from Simms Roaders

0:16:32 > 0:16:33versus CJ from the Eggheads.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Quite a lot at stake here cos you guys could level it up now

0:16:36 > 0:16:38if you knock CJ out.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Please take your positions and we'll play the last round

0:16:40 > 0:16:41before the final.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46So, we're on Sport, Keith. Would you like to go first or second?

0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'll stick with the rest and go first.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53And here is your first question.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57In 2010, it was announced that which country would host

0:16:57 > 0:17:00football's 2016 European Championship?

0:17:02 > 0:17:07I don't think it's Denmark and I'm also going to eliminate Russia,

0:17:07 > 0:17:09and I will go with France.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Well done, France it is. Excellent.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15CJ, here's your question.

0:17:15 > 0:17:21How many runners usually compete in the final of the men's 100m

0:17:21 > 0:17:22at the Olympic Games?

0:17:25 > 0:17:28I think the track is divided into nine lanes,

0:17:28 > 0:17:30but that's just if something goes wrong or if there's a tie,

0:17:30 > 0:17:32but it's usually eight runners.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Eight is correct.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Keith, which of these tennis players is 6ft 6ins tall?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46It's always difficult to judge height

0:17:46 > 0:17:50unless you see them up against somebody else so...

0:17:50 > 0:17:53I do know Djokovic is quite tall, so I'll go with Djokovic.

0:17:53 > 0:17:54Do you know, CJ?

0:17:54 > 0:17:57It's Del Potro. He won the US Open.

0:17:57 > 0:17:58Del Potro is the right answer.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00I'm afraid you're wrong.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02CJ,

0:18:02 > 0:18:06which golfer won his final major in 1986,

0:18:06 > 0:18:0824 years after winning his first?

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Well, I think Jack Nicklaus won the Masters in '86.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18Gary Player's last major was in 1970 at The Open

0:18:18 > 0:18:20and Arnold Palmer would have been much before that.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22I think Jack Nicklaus won the Masters in '86

0:18:22 > 0:18:24and that was his last one, so Jack Nicklaus.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Jack Nicklaus is right.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28So CJ has two and you have one.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Keith, you need to get this one right to stay in.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33And after this the final, so it's a big moment now.

0:18:33 > 0:18:40In cricket, a yorker is a ball aimed at which part of a batsman's body?

0:18:42 > 0:18:46They always seem to have to dig a yorker out of the pitch,

0:18:46 > 0:18:48so I would say it's aimed at his toes.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Yes, it is his toes, well done.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55CJ, for the round.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59The Irish rugby union international Paul O'Connell

0:18:59 > 0:19:01usually plays in which position?

0:19:05 > 0:19:07It's a blind one-in-three guess, this.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09I've never heard of him, I know nothing about rugby,

0:19:09 > 0:19:12so this is just a blind one-in-three guess.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15There's no point even asking you to repeat the question

0:19:15 > 0:19:16cos I don't know him.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19So I will try flanker.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Keith, what do you think?

0:19:21 > 0:19:24I don't know him either, so again it would be a guess myself.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Challengers, let's just ask here.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30- Number eight.- You say number eight. - Flanker, I'm saying. Flanker.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33You say flanker? You're all wrong, every single person in the studio.

0:19:33 > 0:19:34The answer is lock.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37So it's equal after three questions.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39That's rather handy, Keith.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Sudden Death now.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.

0:19:43 > 0:19:48In snooker, Keith, which ball is worth seven points?

0:19:48 > 0:19:51- That would be the black ball. - The black is seven, well done.

0:19:54 > 0:19:59CJ, the modern pentathlon consists of how many sports?

0:20:00 > 0:20:04What does it include? There's running, shooting...

0:20:05 > 0:20:06..horse riding, I think.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12Because wasn't the pentathlon originally...

0:20:13 > 0:20:14..all the skills that...

0:20:16 > 0:20:19..a soldier or a dispatch rider would need in the First World War?

0:20:19 > 0:20:21That's where it's taken from, I think.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23So they may be all different skill sets.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27I don't think there's any point in trying to overthink this,

0:20:27 > 0:20:29so I'll just try five.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- As in pentagon five and pent is... - Well, assuming it means...

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Whether it means different events or different areas.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38- I think they're all different anyway.- Yeah, it's five.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42Fencing, swimming, show-jumping, shooting, cross-country run.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Am I right about the dispatch rider from the war thing?

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Chris, is he right about the dispatch rider?

0:20:48 > 0:20:49Yes, it was originally based on that,

0:20:49 > 0:20:51an idea of what a dispatch rider would have to do

0:20:51 > 0:20:52to deliver a message.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54All right, we got to the bottom of that.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Keith, Sudden Death, your question.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00Which sport do the Philadelphia Phillies play?

0:21:00 > 0:21:04American sport is not my forte, I must admit. Erm...

0:21:07 > 0:21:08I'll try baseball.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Baseball's correct.- Well done!

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Well done. So CJ on the edge now.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17The footballer Francesco Totti began his 24th season

0:21:17 > 0:21:21at which Italian club in 2015?

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Absolutely no idea.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Here we go down to blind guess time again.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Juventus.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Juventus is the wrong answer. - Lazio.- You've been knocked out, CJ.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35- What's that, Judith?- Lazio.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Lazio? No.- It's AS Roma.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40Roma, says Pat. There we are, Keith.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42You're through to the final round.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48On a question about Italian football, CJ.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50That's how kingdoms fall.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Please come back to us, we'll play the final.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Well, how about that? So, you guys just pulled back there.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Just one.- Nicely done.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01This is what we have been playing towards.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03It's really set for our final round.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05As always, it is General Knowledge,

0:22:05 > 0:22:07but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:22:07 > 0:22:09won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:22:09 > 0:22:14So, two from each side - Gavin and Kevin from The Simms Roaders,

0:22:14 > 0:22:17also CJ and Judith from the Eggheads.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Please leave the studio.

0:22:21 > 0:22:26Ray, Tony and Keith, you are playing to win The Simms Roaders £11,000.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27Great jackpot today.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31Pat, Barry and Chris, you're playing to keep that jackpot rising

0:22:31 > 0:22:34and to protect the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39This time the questions are all general knowledge.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41You are allowed to confer.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43So, Simms Roaders, the question is,

0:22:43 > 0:22:48can your three brains take down these three Eggheads over here?

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Do you want to go first or second? - What do you want to do?

0:22:50 > 0:22:52- First?- Yeah, we could go first.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Yeah, we'll say first.- Go first.

0:22:58 > 0:22:59All right, General Knowledge.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Good look, guys, here we go, first question.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05Shanghai is located in which part of China?

0:23:08 > 0:23:10Isn't it on the east coast?

0:23:11 > 0:23:13- It's on the coast.- It's not north.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16They don't have a west coast. It's got to be the east.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18- OK.- It's coastal.- Well, if you're happy with that.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22- It's a port, isn't it?- Yeah. - It is indeed, yeah.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24THEY CONFER

0:23:24 > 0:23:26- No, I knew it wasn't north. - It could be east.- Yeah, OK.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Right, that's fine then.

0:23:29 > 0:23:30The east.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32East is correct.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Eggheads, which of these characters does Macduff kill

0:23:34 > 0:23:38in the Shakespeare play Macbeth?

0:23:42 > 0:23:45That's "Lay on, Macduff and damned be him who first cries,

0:23:45 > 0:23:46"'Hold enough!'"

0:23:46 > 0:23:48He kills Macbeth. Are we happy with that?

0:23:48 > 0:23:50He comes back with his head on his sword, yeah.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Yes? He kills Macbeth.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55He does indeed kill Macbeth.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57So one each. Your question.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01In which country was the opera singer Renata Tebaldi born?

0:24:05 > 0:24:08- He sounds Italian, doesn't he? - Are you up with opera singers?- No.

0:24:08 > 0:24:13- Could you spell Tebaldi? - T-E-B-A-L-D-I.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Renata - Spanish name.- It's sounding...

0:24:16 > 0:24:21I think Renata's more of a German name, isn't it? Any ideas, Tony?

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Renata Tebaldi. I'd say it sounds more Italian to me.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27- It sounds Italian, really. - Rennie and Renata.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Shall we go for Italy? - It sounds more Italian to me.

0:24:30 > 0:24:31Tebaldi.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33It doesn't sound like a Spanish name

0:24:33 > 0:24:35and it doesn't sound Russian at all.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37- I'd go for Italy.- We'll go for Italy? Go on, then.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39We're going to say Italy.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Italy is correct.- Well done.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44- I suppose Baldi, Garibaldi, all that.- Hm-hm.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46OK.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Eggs, to catch up, what is the title of the 2015 film

0:24:49 > 0:24:52inspired by JM Barrie's Peter Pan

0:24:52 > 0:24:55that stars Hugh Jackman and Levi Miller?

0:24:59 > 0:25:02- I'm not sure about that one. - It's not Hook.- No.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05That was Dustin Hoffman, wasn't it?

0:25:05 > 0:25:09- I've got an inkling it was Peter. - Yeah.

0:25:09 > 0:25:10Yeah, I would go for...

0:25:10 > 0:25:13I have a vague inkling of reading a review that said Peter,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16- but I'm really not sure. - This one passed me by.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20Well, there's already been one called Pan, hasn't there?

0:25:22 > 0:25:24- No.- I just don't know.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26- We can safely dismiss Hook. - Yeah, well...

0:25:26 > 0:25:29If you have a feeling that you've seen something about Peter,

0:25:29 > 0:25:32- then fair enough, but I don't know. - I've got the vaguest

0:25:32 > 0:25:34of inclinations, it's not even an inkle,

0:25:34 > 0:25:36it's probably the dot on the I.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39But I think we're going to go for Peter.

0:25:39 > 0:25:40Well, we are going to go for Peter.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42OK. CJ has got his head in his hands.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45- CJ?- It's Pan.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Ah!

0:25:47 > 0:25:49- It is Pan.- Oh, well.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Come on!- Oh, dear.- Oh, dear.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56Oh, dear. The wheels are falling off at the perfect moment.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58So let's just take stock here.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00You've got two right.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02They've got one right out of two.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03They're exposed now.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06You're one question away from £11,000.

0:26:06 > 0:26:09There may be no further role for the Eggheads in this game.

0:26:09 > 0:26:10Here's your question.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14Born in 1922, which British diplomat

0:26:14 > 0:26:16and spy for the Soviet Union

0:26:16 > 0:26:18served in the British Embassy in Seoul

0:26:18 > 0:26:21and secretly became a communist

0:26:21 > 0:26:25while imprisoned by North Korean forces during the Korean War?

0:26:30 > 0:26:33If I was guessing, I'd go for Blake.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Yes, I've got a feeling for Blake.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40Philby, Burgess were with Maclean. They were the three main ones.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42- They were indeed. - Burgess or Blake...

0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Blake's the... - I think he was a bit of a...

0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Yes, he was kind of an odd... - Whether it's a... I don't know.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50- That would be my guess. - Shall we go for that then?

0:26:50 > 0:26:53We're going to go for George Blake.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57Oh, quite a quick decision-making process there.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59George Blake is your answer.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01£11,000 the jackpot.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04If you get this right, you've taken the money.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06I'm going to look at the Eggheads' faces.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08- ALL:- They're right.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10George Blake is the right answer.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Yes, get in there!- Congratulations, Challengers, you have won!

0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Well played.- Well, it's funny how these things work.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21You knocked out CJ, Keith,

0:27:21 > 0:27:24and that turned out to be a killer moment

0:27:24 > 0:27:27because CJ knew it was Pan, and there we go.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29But you got three out of three in the final.

0:27:29 > 0:27:33I think there was a certain amount of good fortune on our side there.

0:27:33 > 0:27:37That was a so-and-so question, the Peter Pan one.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Pan, that's where you are, Eggheads. You've gone down the pan.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Well, I've got to say, Jeremy, I personally feel very, very humble

0:27:44 > 0:27:48at having beaten these people because I watch them

0:27:48 > 0:27:53every time the show is on and I think they're absolutely superb.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56And for us to win, I think is excellent.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Listen, well done, Ray and team. ALL:- Thank you.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02You played well and I know you've said very nice things about them,

0:28:02 > 0:28:05but my goodness, they don't do one wheel falling off, the Eggheads,

0:28:05 > 0:28:07they do all four simultaneously.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09So that's what you saw just then. There we go.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12- Congratulations, you've won £11,000. - Fantastic.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16This run that they were on has turned out to be just thin air.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18- You're officially cleverer than the Eggheads...- Oh, no, no!

0:28:18 > 0:28:21..and you've proved they can definitely, definitely be beaten.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23Oh, yes! Don't be too humble.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers

0:28:26 > 0:28:27will be just as successful.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29We'll pick up the pieces over here,

0:28:29 > 0:28:31make sure they get a good night's sleep

0:28:31 > 0:28:34and see you next time. Goodbye.
