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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:36are The Only Sway Is Up.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38They are from Sway in Hampshire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now, these challengers all quiz at the Hare and Hounds pub
0:00:41 > 0:00:44where Ian has been the quiz master for 25 years.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46They also hold the prestigious accolade
0:00:46 > 0:00:50of Sway Carnival quiz champions 2015.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Stuart, a retired chartered surveyor.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm David, a retired risk manager.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Mark, a politics graduate.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Steve, I'm a civil engineer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Ian, I'm a managing director of a quiz company.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So, Stuart, team, welcome. - Thank you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- You're quizzers?- Yes.- I can tell.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Don't be embarrassed by that, we're all quizzers here.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- It's that obvious, is it?- Is it? I can just tell that you're serious.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- So, you quiz together? - In various combinations, yes.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Yes, and do you quiz at a county level?
0:01:22 > 0:01:23No, I wouldn't say that,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26it's primarily at the Hare and Hounds pub.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Have any of you run into any of them?
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Yes, I've seen CJ in a recent charity event, in particular.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36OK, so have you got a good spread of subjects?
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Because that's the key thing.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Reasonably, I think we have our stronger areas, inevitably.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But, yes, I think we've tried to cover all the bases as best we can.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47All right, I can see you want to get on with it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Everyday, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58So, The Only Sway Is Up, the Eggheads have won the last
0:01:58 > 0:02:00two games, so they're a bit wobbly at the moment.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04It means £3,000 is here for you to win. Would you like to try?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Yes, please.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Good stuff, first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Who would like this?- Oh. - Do you want me to take it?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- It's going to be Mark? - Either of you two, isn't it?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18One of you two I would say.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I'm going to pass on that one.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Same here. You'll be better. - You want me to take it, then?- Yes.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- OK, who shall I go for then, do you think?- So, Mark?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Yes, I think I was taking it. - OK, against which Egghead?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Any one of them.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Totally your decision.- I'll take on Dave, please.- Good stuff.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Are you getting a sense from this team, Dave?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Oh, yes, we've got to be on our metal here.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40You're going to have to be, they're serious.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Mark from The Only Sway Is Up versus Dave from the Eggheads on History.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So, History, Mark, and would you like to go first or second?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I'll go first, please.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Here is your question.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Which of these historical figures was born in Vienna?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Erm, I don't think Joan of Arc was born in Vienna.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12And Marie Antoinette was from Austria.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16So, I think I'll go Marie Antoinette, please.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Marie Antoinette is quite right, well done, first point to you. Dave.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25In which war were the non-rigid military airships
0:03:25 > 0:03:27known as blimps first used?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- You there?- Yeah, I'm still here. - Think out loud, if you can!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Blimps first used. I'm going World War I.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44World War I is right.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Back to you, Mark.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50How many British monarchs were born in the 18th century?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00OK, so we start off in the 18th century.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Then let's have a think.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Queen Anne was born, wasn't born in the 18th century.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09George I wasn't born then.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Maybe George II, I don't know.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Maybe George III and George IV.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20So, I don't think it's that many.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22So, I'm going to say three.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- So you got George III, George IV? - And maybe another, yes.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Yes, three is quite right. - Well done.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Any of your team-mates fill in the other?- No.- Dave?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- I think it could be William IV. - I think you're right.- Yes.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Yes, Kevin says you're right. Your question, Dave.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Which of these was one of the 13 American colonies
0:04:40 > 0:04:44that declared independence from Britain in 1776?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Well, I don't think it's Texas.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Not too sure on this but I'm going to...
0:04:56 > 0:05:01It could easily go wrong but I'm going to go with Georgia.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Georgia is right.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Anyone fill in some background on this and what was going on? Kevin?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well, I mean, there were 13 original colonies that formed
0:05:09 > 0:05:12the United States, of which Georgia was one.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Florida was later because that was a purchase from the Spanish.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20And Texas was eventually taken over,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23it was independent for a while but that was a bit later.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26So yeah, Georgia was one of the original 13 that formed the USA.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28OK, thank you.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29The first of the 13 was Delaware
0:05:29 > 0:05:32which is why it's known as the First State.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Right. So, two points each, lively round.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Back to you, Mark.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40A New Voyage Round The World is a 1697 book
0:05:40 > 0:05:42by which English explorer?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I'll be honest, I haven't a clue on this one.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So, this is going to be a guess.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I'll say John Franklin.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59OK, Dave, do you know?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- I would have gone Dampier. - Yes, Dampier is right.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05So, you got two out of three there, Mark.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Chance for Dave to take the round.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Dave, in which year did Lord Elgin order the destruction
0:06:12 > 0:06:17of the Old Summer Palace in Beijing at the end of the Second Opium War?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I could have got my dates mixed up
0:06:24 > 0:06:28but I thought the first Opium War was 1839-42.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34So logically, the second one, the end of the second one would be 1860.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Mark, do you think he's right?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I think it's later of all those dates,
0:06:38 > 0:06:39so yeah, I would have said 1860.
0:06:39 > 0:06:421860 is right. Well done, Dave, you're in the final round.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Sorry, Mark.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I can see you've got the knowledge there but you were just
0:06:46 > 0:06:48pipped at the post by Dave so you've been knocked out.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Well, we know this is going to be a very competitive match
0:06:55 > 0:06:57and the Eggheads have struck the first blow there
0:06:57 > 0:07:01against The Only Sway Is Up who have lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03The Eggheads are still there, all five.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07The next subject for you is Music. Who would like this?
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- That would be me.- Ian, this is you. - Yes, I'm here for that.- Ian?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Who do you reckon?- Your choice.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Go for what you feel. - CJ, I'll take CJ.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Go on, then.- CJ, please.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23OK, so Ian from The Only Sway Is Up versus CJ,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25let's see if the only way is down.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Should be on this category.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30We'll see, we'll see, we don't know. You're all good quizzers too.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32We've got great quizzers in the studio today.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Please go to the Question Room.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37On music again, CJ. Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I'll go first, please.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46OK, here is your first question, Ian. Good luck.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49The rapper Tinie Tempah was born in which city?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Tinie Tempah, so definitely not in Edinburgh.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01It's London or Cardiff, I think.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I'm going to go for...
0:08:03 > 0:08:06London is the obvious choice but I'm going to go for Cardiff.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I'm not sure at all.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- I'm afraid it was the obvious one. - Oh!- London.- OK.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18CJ, who won the 2014 series of The X Factor?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I think 2014 was Ben Haenow.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30You are right, it was Ben Haenow.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33OK, back to you, Ian.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38What does the title character do at the end of the Puccini opera Tosca?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44CJ will know this.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51I'm going to go for the middle one, commits suicide.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Let me ask your team-mates, is he right?- I think so.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Yes, they like that, commits suicide is right.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58There's a famous incident at the end,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Tosca leaps of the battlements of the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07And one of the famous opera stories is about the lead singer,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08the soprano, she was so hated
0:09:08 > 0:09:10by the stage crew, she just made
0:09:10 > 0:09:15herself deeply unpleasant to everybody and unbeknownst to her,
0:09:15 > 0:09:21obviously, the crew had actually put a trampoline underneath the set.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25So when she jumped off, she came bouncing back up again.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26THEY LAUGH
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Slightly destroyed the magic of it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Brilliant. All right, CJ, to take the lead.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Who wrote the lyrics for the stage musical Chess?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Well, we've had dinner and discussed it
0:09:46 > 0:09:48so hopefully, I'll know this answer!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50It was Tim Rice.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51You've had dinner with Tim Rice?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- And we discussed Chess because it was at a chess event.- How nice.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Tim Rice it was, well done. So, Ian, you've got to get this one right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Yes, I have.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Emil Gilels, born in Odessa in 1916,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08is best known for his expertise on which instrument?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I don't think it was a piano.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21So, it's one of the other two, obviously. Cello, violin.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25It sounds like a violinist so I'm going to go for violin, Jeremy.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27OK, let's see if CJ knows this one, CJ?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I'm not sure but I would have gone for piano.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Piano is the right answer, Ian. Sorry, you've been knocked out.- OK.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34CJ is in the final round,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36the Eggheads are storming it at the moment.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Can they be stopped? Return to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44So, as it stands, The Only Sway Is Up have lost two brains,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46perhaps surprisingly from the final round.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48The Eggheads have not lost any but of course,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50you have lost the match from this position.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So, warning shot for you there.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54The next subject is Science.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Who would like this?
0:10:56 > 0:11:02- Unless any of you want to do it, I'll take it.- Well, I'm out.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Yeah!
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Go on, Stu, you go for it.- Well, I can't take it so you should.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- That's me, Jeremy. - OK, Stuart, against which Egghead?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Can't be CJ or Dave. - I'll take on Lisa, please.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16It wasn't even a contest, was it?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18So, Stuart from The Only Sway Is Up.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Lisa from the Eggheads on science.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Please go to our Question Room.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I gather you like cycling, Stuart.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yes, I haven't done much recently
0:11:28 > 0:11:30but I did John O'Groats to Land's End about five years ago
0:11:30 > 0:11:33and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36So, one tip of the country to the other, how many miles is that?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Well, the mileage on the signpost at John O'Groats end,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Land's End is 874 which is about the minimum distance.
0:11:43 > 0:11:50- I ended up doing 893 with about 12 miles of being lost.- OK!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53We're looking to you to turn it around now for our challengers.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56On science, against Lisa. First or second?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03So, here we go.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Orthopaedics is a branch of surgery that deals with conditions
0:12:07 > 0:12:10involving which system in the human body?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Digestive would be gastro.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Reproductive would be various other things.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I would say skeletal, my answer.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Skeletal is quite right. Of course, thank you. Lisa.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Which of these rodents is native to South America?
0:12:35 > 0:12:40I think you find chinchillas...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I think it's chinchilla.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Chinchilla is correct.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Back to you, Stuart.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51In humans, the wisdom tooth is an alternative name for what?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I think incisors and canines are at the front
0:12:59 > 0:13:01and the middle of the mouth.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I think the molars are the grinding teeth at the back,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05so I'll take third molar.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Third molar is right, very good.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Lisa, your question.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11What shape is the sacrum bone,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15found at the base of the vertebral column in the human body?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21None of which were the shapes I had in my head!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24So that's good, isn't it?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I don't think it's circular.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Rhomboid seems a slightly peculiar shape for any sort of bone.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I don't know, I think of the three,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I think my best guess is probably triangular.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Yeah, it is triangular.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Yeah, I mean, it's the one at the top of the bum.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48The sacrum is the penultimate bit of the vertebral column
0:13:48 > 0:13:51that leads onto the coccyx at the end.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Hmm, OK. So we are 2-2.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Stuart, which of these scientists
0:13:56 > 0:13:59has an element on the periodic table named after him?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10It's Dmitri Mendeleev.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12And what's named after him? Do you know?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16The periodic table which he devised in 1869, I believe.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19And the element?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Mendelevium. - HE LAUGHS
0:14:21 > 0:14:23It doesn't matter, we'll find out in a sec.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Mendeleev is quite right, Dmitri. Which is the element?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- It's mendelevium. - Oh, it is mendelevium.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33OK, right, you're bang on. Mendelevium. Lisa.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Approximately how long does it take Mars
0:14:37 > 0:14:40to make a complete orbit of the sun?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I am now trying to think about the relative positions
0:14:47 > 0:14:49of the other planets and how long those take
0:14:49 > 0:14:51but I think the sort of further lying planets are
0:14:51 > 0:14:57so far outside, that you're getting into sort of decades and decades
0:14:57 > 0:15:00before they make their orbit, which probably isn't helpful
0:15:00 > 0:15:03in a relative manner of speaking.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04I'm kind of inclined to sort of
0:15:04 > 0:15:08shorter timeframe rather than longer timeframe.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09I shall go for two years.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Two years is the right answer.- Phew!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Not out of it yet. So, our first sudden death.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Stuart, it gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Understood.- Here is your question.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25By what name derived from a dialect term for a snail shell
0:15:25 > 0:15:30are the seeds of the horse-chestnut tree commonly known?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Shell would be conch of some sort.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Seeds of the horse-chestnut tree.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Ones that would rotate when they leave the tree.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I don't know. I'm sure this is not right, I'll just have to say conch.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- The pain of this.- Oh! - The pain of this.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- So, you had in your mind the helicopter things, yes?- Yes.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- What tree is that?- Sycamore. - That's the sycamore.- Oh, so...
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- This is conkers.- Oh.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03I am so sorry.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Cos of course, if we'd just gone straight to conker,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09you wouldn't have even needed the conch connection.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10All right, Lisa,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13your question to take your place in the final.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18In geometry, an octagon is a polygon with how many sites?
0:16:19 > 0:16:24My daughter is currently listening to this tape of
0:16:24 > 0:16:27kids music that's designed to teach them about numbers
0:16:27 > 0:16:29and there's this wonderful song about all the polygons
0:16:29 > 0:16:31going to a party.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Everybody turns to a guest that's shown up late.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37It's an octagon and its sides add up to eight, it's got eight sides.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Eight is right, you're in the final, sorry about that, Stuart.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Those wretched conkers.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44And you know, the logic that took you halfway was the hardest bit,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46funnily enough, but you've been knocked out.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48And it's three in a row to the Eggheads.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Can the challengers turn it around?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Please come back to us, the two of you.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Well, bad luck, Stuart. That was one of those things.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- We've seen it happen many times, haven't we?- We've all done it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Both sides, yes.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Yes, it's the amazing brainpower on the one thing
0:17:05 > 0:17:07and then the obvious gets missed.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Yes, I won't forget about conkers again.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12So, The Only Sway Is Up have lost three brains.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14The Eggheads have not lost one.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16But they had a bad game a few days ago,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18so they're still... they've got a hangover from that.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21See if you can just take them on the turn now.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22The next subject is Sport.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Who would like this?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- I'll take that one?- Yes. - Go on, then.- OK, Steve?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Against which Egghead?- Erm...
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Pat or Kevin? Can't escape them.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I'm going to go out in a blaze of glory. I'm going to take Kevin on.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38All right, good stuff.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40So, Steve from The Only Sway Is Up versus
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Kevin from the Eggheads on sport.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Probably not his strongest subject.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- No.- It's hard to tell with Kevin.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the special room.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- So I know you lead a very active life, Steve.- I try.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57You've been, what, up Kilimanjaro?
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Yes, that was quite a feat. It's a lot tougher than people think.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- And Everest as well or some of the way?- I got to base camp, Everest.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It was part of a trek that we did in Nepal, that was fantastic.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13And the 150-mile race through the Sahara?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, that's the one that people pick up on.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21The Marathon des Sables, that's the one that
0:18:21 > 0:18:23quite a few people would like to do
0:18:23 > 0:18:25when it comes to ultramarathon running, yes.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Putting us to shame, Kevin, isn't he?
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Yes, maybe the 150-foot race might do it but 150 miles, no.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34To the bar?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Yeah, the environment would be important.- Yeah, so Sport, Steve.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Yes.- First or second?- First, please.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46And here is your question.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Approximately how long does it take Mo Farah to run
0:18:49 > 0:18:52a competitive 10,000-metre race?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Not 17 minutes.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Erm, I should really know this but...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08..of the other two, I'm going to go for 27 minutes.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Yes, I was trying to convert it into old money.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15So, 10,000 metres is 10k which is about six miles.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Could he be running at 12mph? Yes, I guess he could.
0:19:18 > 0:19:2027 minutes is the right answer.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Is that right calculation there, CJ?
0:19:22 > 0:19:246.2 miles but, for example,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28the top marathon runners will run a marathon in 13mph.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Right, that's amazing.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31And what speed do you run your marathons at?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- About 9.2.- That's amazing, though. - Brilliant.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- That is fast, CJ.- Yes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Kevin, your question.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42In October 2015, which of these football teams qualified
0:19:42 > 0:19:46for the European Championships for the first time in their history?
0:19:51 > 0:19:57Well, Scotland unfortunately didn't make it. The other two did.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59But the Republic have been there before.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05Wales have been to one World Cup but not to the Europeans before.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07So, it's Wales.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10It is indeed Wales, well done.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Steve - and well done them!
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Steve, how many southern hemisphere teams reached
0:20:16 > 0:20:20the semifinals of the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I think it was all four, so I'll go for four.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Yes, it was all four, every place taken.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32And here's your question, Kevin.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36In which year did the golfer Walter Hagen win his first major?
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Well, it's not 1954.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Walter Hagen was one of the great names from the relatively
0:20:47 > 0:20:49early days of golf.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53And I think even 1934 is too late.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56He was active during the 1920s, so...
0:20:58 > 0:21:01..he must have won one fairly early, I think.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02So, 1914.
0:21:02 > 0:21:041914 is correct.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09This is hard-fought here, very tight. Steve, back to you.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12The tennis player Garbine Muguruza represents which country?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I think strangely enough, I think
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I've seen or heard this reasonably recently.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I think it's actually Spain.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Spain is right. Three out of three, well done.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29OK, let's see if Kevin can stay in.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Who is the only Indian cricketer
0:21:31 > 0:21:34to have taken more than 600 test match wickets?
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Oh, dear.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Don't think it's Kapil Dev but I've gone blank as between the other two.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I think I would have...
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Hmm, in the end, I'll have to go for Anil Kumble.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Is he right? What do you think, Steve?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I would have gone for Kumble as well.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Kumble is the right answer.- Yes. - Anil Kumble, so three each.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01We go to sudden death, Steve.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Who's played more games for Manchester United
0:22:06 > 0:22:08than any other footballer?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Er, I'm going to go for Ryan Giggs.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Ryan Giggs is quite right.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Kevin, which driver won his third Formula One world title in 2015?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Lewis Hamilton. - Lewis Hamilton is right.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Sudden death, back to you, Steve.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30In which decade did both Oslo and Cortina d'Ampezzo
0:22:30 > 0:22:33host the Winter Olympic Games?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Hmm. Dates not my strong point.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'm going to go for the '60s.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Eggheads?- '50s, '52 and '56.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44'52 and '56, it's the '50s, Steve.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48So, Kevin has a chance here.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52In rugby union, Kevin, a player wearing the number four shirt
0:22:52 > 0:22:54usually plays in which position?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Er, well, he would be a lock.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- That's your answer?- Yes.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Yeah, I can accept that, or second row.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Second row or lock is the right answer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Well done, Kevin, you're in the final. Sorry, Steve.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Beaten by our Egghead.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Became a bit of a habit in that game but it's not over yet,
0:23:11 > 0:23:12not by any means.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15We've got a final to play and if you both come back
0:23:15 > 0:23:17and rejoin your teams, we'll do just that.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21OK, didn't go quite the way I was expecting but it's not over.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23This is what we've been playing towards.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It is time for the final round
0:23:25 > 0:23:27which, as always, is general knowledge.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:29 > 0:23:31will not be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34So, all from this side - Stuart, Mark, Steve and Ian
0:23:34 > 0:23:37from The Only Sway Is Up, please leave the studio.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41David, I must say I thought you would be
0:23:41 > 0:23:43more in the final, your team.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46But you're playing to win The Only Sway Is Up £3,000.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Kevin, Dave, Lisa, Pat and CJ,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51you're playing for something money can't really buy,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55to somehow rebuild the Eggheads' reputation
0:23:55 > 0:23:57and reign supreme again.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01This time, they're all general knowledge.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05You are allowed to confer. Sorry, that doesn't help you, David.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09The question is can be your one brain have a famous victory
0:24:09 > 0:24:10over these five?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12And would you like to go first or second?
0:24:12 > 0:24:13I'll go first, please.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Here we go, David.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Avocado is a main ingredient of which of these dips?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29OK, I think hummus is made from chickpeas,
0:24:29 > 0:24:33aioli is garlic mayonnaise, so it's guacamole.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Guacamole it is, very nice it is too.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38OK, Eggheads.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Blighty is an informal term
0:24:41 > 0:24:44popularised in World War I for which country?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Britain.- Britain.- Blighty.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Urdu or something. Yes, Britain?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- That was Britain.- It was indeed.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00David, which of these countries has a larger population than the UK?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08OK, not entirely sure.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I'm going to go for Iran.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Iran is right. Well done, David, good stuff.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Two out of two. Back to you, Eggheads.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Oh, are you going to be taken down after this assured performance?
0:25:22 > 0:25:27Who plays the villain Franz Oberhauser in the 2015 film Spectre?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- My favourite actor. - The awesome Christoph waltz.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- We're happy with Waltz?- Yes.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41That's Christoph Waltz.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Christoph Waltz it is.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46I still believe, CJ, you should be a Bond villain one day.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Yeah, definitely. - We all think you should.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Can't be too long, surely?
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Can't be too long. OK, David.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Get this right, put some pressure on them.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Which of these characters is still alive
0:25:56 > 0:25:59at the end of the Shakespeare play Hamlet?
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Um, Shakespeare is not my
0:26:09 > 0:26:12favourite, favourite subject.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Something of a guess.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- I'm going to go for Polonius.- OK.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Polonius is your answer. Let's just go through this.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Hamlet or as Lisa calls it, Macbeth...
0:26:22 > 0:26:24SHE SIGHS
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Who died behind the arras?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- I'm not talking to you. - It's Polonius.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30So Polonius did die, so it's not Polonius.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Claudius was dead at the start, was he or...?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- No.- He's the bad uncle.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- He was killed by Hamlet. - He's the king, yes.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39So we're only left with Fortinbras,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41who was alive at the end of Hamlet.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Sorry, Lisa. - Given away the ending there!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Classic spoiler. I'm so sorry.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51We haven't given away the ending here because it hasn't happened yet.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Martha, who died in captivity in the US in 1914,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03was the last known specimen of which bird species?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- Passenger pigeon? - Passenger pigeon.- It was 1914.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Yes, definitely.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17She was a passenger pigeon. The last of her kind.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20The correct answer is passenger pigeon.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Did you get an answer wrong in that game?- Perfect game.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34That's what they call, what is it? An immaculate game.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Perfect, we'll say. - I must apologise, David.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Usually, they get something wrong somewhere.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Yes, we were up against it today. - Yeah, well, bad luck.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Great to see you, The Only Sway Is Up.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- And we'll forget about Fortinbras. Doesn't matter.- Yes, we shall.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50All a long time ago.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Very impressive today, eggs, and you reign supreme over quiz land.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It does mean that you won't be going home with the £3,000
0:27:59 > 0:28:02so we take the money and roll it over to our next show.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Join us next time to see
0:28:07 > 0:28:10if a new team of challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14£4,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
