0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

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

0:00:23 > 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 > 0:00:35Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today

0:00:35 > 0:00:37are Bobby's Dazzlers.

0:00:37 > 0:00:38In forming this team, captain Bobby

0:00:38 > 0:00:41has called upon the services of her brainiest friends

0:00:41 > 0:00:44from all over southeast England.

0:00:44 > 0:00:45Individually, they love to quiz

0:00:45 > 0:00:48but this will be their first time competing together.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50So, let's meet them.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Bobby and I'm a freelance bookkeeper.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Julian. I'm a health and safety consultant.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm John. I'm a semi-retired chartered accountant.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Colin. I'm an accountant.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Bill and I'm a retired teacher.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, Bobby and team, welcome. Good to see you.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12- So, you brought together the best and the brightest, Bobby.- I hope so.

0:01:12 > 0:01:17Good stuff. And to take on these five, to dazzle them.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Hopefully, we will dazzle them.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23When you put together a quiz team, what are you looking for?

0:01:23 > 0:01:27I was looking for people who had expertise in different areas.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29I was going to say, you've got a spread of skills.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32But the trouble is, you don't know what's going to come up.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34No, I know. That's the wicked thing.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36So, have you got some kind of spreadsheet for Eggheads?

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- No, it's in our minds, really.- All right. Do you all watch the show?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Oh, yes.- Definitely. - I do, every day.- Oh, good. Do, you?

0:01:43 > 0:01:46- So, what's it like to be in the studio now?- Great, great.- Good.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- I hope it gets better and better. Good luck to you.- Thank you.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Every day, there is £1,000-worth of cash

0:01:51 > 0:01:52up for grabs for our Challengers.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:54 > 0:01:57the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Now, Bobby and her Dazzlers,

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I can tell you the Eggheads have won the last five games,

0:02:01 > 0:02:04so £6,000 says you can't beat them.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Would you like to try? - Yes, please.- Yes, please.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Who would like this?

0:02:12 > 0:02:17- Oh, gosh. We were hoping for it not to be Music.- Yeah.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21- I said I would do it, didn't I? - OK, the captain.- OK, Bobby.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Looks like it's me.- All right. Into the breach against which Egghead?

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Any one of the five.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30- I think...- I don't know. - Chris or Dave? What do you think?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Not Chris cos we might have Sport. - I'd go for Dave but it's up to you.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35OK, yes, we'll go for Dave.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37OK, Bobby from Bobby's Dazzlers

0:02:37 > 0:02:40versus Dave from the Eggheads on Music.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42And just to make sure there's no conferring,

0:02:42 > 0:02:45please take your positions in our famous Question Room.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Good luck, Bobby, against Dave.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Here we go.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Which of these characters from a Disney animation sings the song

0:03:00 > 0:03:01I Just Can't Wait To Be King?

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Ooh, that's...

0:03:06 > 0:03:10I don't think I've ever heard of Belle in a musical

0:03:10 > 0:03:15and I don't think it's Ariel. I'm going to go for Simba.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Simba is correct, Bobby. Well done.- Well done.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Onto you, Dave.- Yeah.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Keep On Running by the Spencer Davis Group

0:03:24 > 0:03:26was a UK number one single in which decade?

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Er, 1960s.- '60s is correct.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Bobby.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Michael Jackson's UK number one You Are Not Alone

0:03:37 > 0:03:39was originally on which album?

0:03:44 > 0:03:47I love Michael Jackson, I was very shocked when he died.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51But I must admit that I don't know an awful lot of his recordings

0:03:51 > 0:03:54but I will go for Bad.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56It's a bit later, actually.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00It's HIStory, yeah, which is one of his last albums.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02OK, Dave.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05What is the first name of the Little Mix founder member

0:04:05 > 0:04:07with the surname Nelson?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Right, I think it's Perrie Edwards, Little Mix.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18I could be totally wrong and overthinking this,

0:04:18 > 0:04:24but I've got a yearning to go for the option of Leigh-Anne.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Jesy's the answer, with one S.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31So, Bobby, this is good.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32Here is your question.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Who is the subject of the Rodgers and Hart song

0:04:35 > 0:04:38that contains the lyrics "And all at once I lost my breath,

0:04:38 > 0:04:41"and all at once was scared to death,

0:04:41 > 0:04:44"and all at once I owned the Earth and sky"?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52I think that might be Miss Jones.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Miss Jones is right, well done.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Good play. Dave.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Yeah.- Get this wrong, you're out. - Yeah.

0:05:00 > 0:05:06Abigaille and Fenena are female characters in which Verdi opera?

0:05:10 > 0:05:15Right... I haven't got an idea. Um...

0:05:18 > 0:05:21- I'm going to go La Traviata.- Oh!

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- OK, if you've got this wrong, you're out. Barry?- Nabucco.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Nabucco, says Barry. Sorry, Dave. Well done, Bobby.- Well done.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Well done, Bobby.- How about that?

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Despite the Michael Jackson moment,

0:05:32 > 0:05:34you're in the final, Bobby. Well deserved.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Bobby's Dazzler dazzling in the final.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Dave knocked out. Please come back to us and we'll play on.

0:05:41 > 0:05:46- Well, Bobby, how about that? The captain is still there.- That's it.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47And you've taken out an Egghead.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51So, Bobby's Dazzlers have not lost any brains from the final round.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54The Eggheads have lost a brain. We play on with Science.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Who would like this? - You're on, Julian.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Julian, you're next.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Julian, who would you like to take on?- Oh, gosh. Who do you reckon?

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I think Barry's good at Science. I think Chris is quite good.- Judith?

0:06:05 > 0:06:09- I'd go Judith.- Judith, please.- Now, you are a former nuclear scientist.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Yeah.- Right. THEY LAUGH

0:06:12 > 0:06:16- Another?- We've just done our 1,500th programme

0:06:16 > 0:06:18and we were talking with Judith about the best moments

0:06:18 > 0:06:20and we agreed one of the best moments

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- was when Judith knocked out a rocket scientist on Science.- Oh, wow.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Julian, from Bobby's Dazzlers, Judith from the Eggheads,

0:06:27 > 0:06:29please take your positions.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34- So, Science, Judith, and we're up against a nuclear scientist.- I know.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- I just want to go home right now. - But we know how well you play.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41So, this could be fun. Julian, would you like to go first or second?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Good luck to you both.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Julian, for what does the letter R stand

0:06:51 > 0:06:55in the name of the vaccination abbreviated to MMR?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I think it's rubella.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06Rubella is right. Measles, mumps, rubella. Judith.

0:07:06 > 0:07:12What name is given to a triangle with no equal internal angles?

0:07:16 > 0:07:20You know I simply can't do these. We didn't do them at school.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Um, I have absolutely no idea.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27I'm going to say polynomial.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31OK, let's bring in Barry on this. Barry?

0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I'm afraid it's scalene. - Scalene. And what is polynomial?

0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Polynomial is an algebraic expression.- OK.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Judith, I'm sorry, it's scalene. - Right. Doesn't mean anything to me.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Looks like you're going to be hit by the nuclear button.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- I think I already have.- OK. THEY LAUGH

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Julian.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52What is the physical state

0:07:52 > 0:07:55of the element manganese at room temperature?

0:07:58 > 0:08:02- It's a solid.- It is a solid. You're doing well.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Judith, you need this to stay in.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07The sex chromosomes in the human male

0:08:07 > 0:08:10are known to geneticists as what?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16I think they're XY.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- You got it! Well done.- Phew!

0:08:20 > 0:08:22XY is correct.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24So, back to you, Julian.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27What type of creature is a velvet scoter?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29S-C-O-T-E-R.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35I'm inclined to think it would be a beetle.

0:08:35 > 0:08:40- This didn't come up much in nuclear science, did it?- Indeed not.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44You didn't ever have to use a weapon against ducks. I'm afraid it's duck.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47You very nearly had the better of Judith.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49She has a chance now to come back in.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54In 1855, which scientific figure married Mary Everest,

0:08:54 > 0:09:00the niece of George Everest, after whom Mount Everest is named?

0:09:06 > 0:09:10- In 18...?- '55.- I wonder.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13I think it might be Charles Darwin.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'm trying to think of the dates. Um...

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- I think it's Charles Darwin. - Any guesses from this side?

0:09:20 > 0:09:22That's late for Darwin to get married.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25We think it's late for Darwin. It's the wrong answer, I'm sorry.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29George Boole is the answer. You've been knocked out.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33Hey, this is going well. Julian, well done. You can smile now.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36You're through to the final round. Well done.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Sorry, Judith, we couldn't repeat your famous rocket scientist moment.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42I know. I'm terribly disappointed.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I'd love to be able to say I beat a nuclear scientist.- There we go.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Please come back to us and we'll play on.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52This is looking good for Bobby's Dazzlers, I must say.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55They've not lost a brain, the Eggheads have lost two brains.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57The next subject for you is Politics.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Who would like this?

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Not my favourite, but I'll do it.- OK.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04OK, Bill, retired teacher, against whom?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Er, I'll take on Chris, please.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09So, Bill from Bobby's Dazzlers

0:10:09 > 0:10:11versus Chris Hughes from the Eggheads.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Please go to the Question Room.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Politics, Bill. Do you want to go first or second?- First, please.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Here's your first question.

0:10:24 > 0:10:29Who served as deputy prime minister between 1997 and 2007?

0:10:33 > 0:10:37Um, Jack Straw was Home Office,

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Gordon Brown was something to do with the Treasury.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42- I think it was John Prescott. - Yeah, Gordon Brown was Chancellor.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45John Prescott was deputy prime minister. Well done.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Chris, your question.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Nancy Astor, the first woman to sit in the House of Commons,

0:10:50 > 0:10:52was born in which country?

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- She was American, born in the USA. - USA is quite right.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Back to you, Bill.

0:11:02 > 0:11:07The British architect Norman Foster redesigned the parliament building

0:11:07 > 0:11:09in which city in the 1990s?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Ooh, this is a tough one. Er...

0:11:14 > 0:11:18I've got a feeling... Not Paris or Rome.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20I've got a feeling it's Berlin.

0:11:20 > 0:11:26Berlin is right, after the German unification. Chris.

0:11:26 > 0:11:31For what does the letter E stand in the name of the organisation OPEC?

0:11:34 > 0:11:39Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Exporting.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Exporting is quite right. Storming along here on Politics, both of you.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Bill, your third question can be crucial.

0:11:45 > 0:11:50Which of these awards did Barack Obama win in 2006?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Oh, wow, it's another tough one.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59I can't see it being an Oscar. Um...

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- I'll go with an Emmy.- Emmy. Let me check with your teammates.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07- What do you think?- I'd go for Emmy. - He got the Best Spoken Word Album.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11- He got the Grammy.- OK, Grammy is the answer here, Bill.- Oh.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14All right, chance for you, Chris. Is this the moment the tide turns

0:12:14 > 0:12:16for the Eggheads?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Get this right, Chris, you're in the final.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22Menzies Campbell, the former Liberal Democrat party leader,

0:12:22 > 0:12:27competed for Great Britain in the 200m at which Olympics?

0:12:32 > 0:12:36Ah, yes, Menzies Campbell is older than me, so...

0:12:37 > 0:12:41..he'd have been in athletic prime in 1964.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Very well done. '64 is the right answer, Chris,

0:12:44 > 0:12:47and you're in the final. Sorry, Bill. First of our Challengers

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- to lose his place in the final.- OK.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Come back to us and we'll play another round.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57So, Bobby's Dazzlers have now lost a brain for the final round.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01The Eggheads have lost two though. This is quite a contest.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02The next subject is Arts & Books.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Who wants this?

0:13:04 > 0:13:07It's me. I was hoping not to be that.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10All right. Well, there we go.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14- John from Bobby's Dazzlers versus whom?- What do your reckon?

0:13:14 > 0:13:19- Kevin or Barry?- Barry? - I think so.- OK, Barry.

0:13:19 > 0:13:25- The Leeds lad.- Yeah, so John against Barry from the Eggheads.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26He loves his books.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34- John, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42Here we go. Hermione Granger first appeared

0:13:42 > 0:13:44in which Harry Potter novel?

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Well, the one I've...

0:13:51 > 0:13:54I'm not sure, but the one I've heard of is Philosopher's Stone,

0:13:54 > 0:13:57so I'll go for that one. The Philosopher's Stone.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone, you're quite right, John.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Well done. OK, Barry.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Napoleon, a pig in George Orwell's Animal farm,

0:14:07 > 0:14:11is believed to be based on which historical figure?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Right, let me just get this right.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Napoleon was based on Stalin.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Indeed he was. Stalin.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25John, which of these books

0:14:25 > 0:14:27was written in the 18th century?

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Gosh. Dickens...

0:14:34 > 0:14:36In the 18th century... Um...

0:14:36 > 0:14:40Might be Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Tom Jones, a bit older. Jane Eyre...

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Actually, against my better judgement,

0:14:46 > 0:14:48I'll say Nicholas Nickleby.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Challengers, any help with this? - Tom Jones, I think.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Tom Jones.- We all think.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55So, Nicholas Nickleby would have been the 1800s,

0:14:55 > 0:14:57- as in the 19th century, correct? - Yeah.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01- John, it's Tom Jones.- Oh. - The others were the next century.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Barry.

0:15:03 > 0:15:09Storm In A C Cup is a 2015 book by which TV presenter?

0:15:15 > 0:15:20Goodness me. Storm In A C Cup. I love the title!

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I don't think that's got much to do with property,

0:15:23 > 0:15:25so I'll discount Kirstie Allsop.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29It sounds very like Sara Cox, so I shall go for Sara Cox.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33- No, it's Caroline Flack, actually. - Went the wrong way.- Sorry, Barry.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35So, you're level. That's a bit of luck there, John.

0:15:35 > 0:15:40What name is given to Antony Gormley's installation

0:15:40 > 0:15:45of 100 cast-iron figures on England's Crosby Beach?

0:15:51 > 0:15:55I'd probably say, because of the number...

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Purely because of the number and I am an accountant,

0:15:58 > 0:16:03I'd say In A Thousand Years, though I'm not at all confident.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Anyone know?- Another Place, I think.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Yeah, Another Place is the answer.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Oh.- OK, Barry, for the round.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14In Harold Pinter's play The Birthday Party,

0:16:14 > 0:16:18what is the name of the character whose birthday sparks the party?

0:16:23 > 0:16:27Oh, I don't know this and it's such a well-known play as well.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Sadly, I'm afraid I have to admit that this will be a guess,

0:16:30 > 0:16:34so I shall go straight down the middle for Bernard Jenkins.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36I don't know if he's in the play.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- He's certainly in parliament, Bernard Jenkins.- Oh!

0:16:39 > 0:16:42That doesn't augur well for the answer then, does it?!

0:16:42 > 0:16:47- Stanley Webber.- Oh. - So, one each, after three questions.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50John, another let-off for you. We go to Sudden Death.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- It gets a bit harder, John. I don't give you alternatives.- OK.

0:16:53 > 0:16:59What adjective describes Mr Fox in the title of a Roald Dahl book?

0:16:59 > 0:17:03The logical one is... The adjective, isn't it?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05The logical one would be cunning, I suppose.

0:17:05 > 0:17:10- It's not cunning. Fantastic Mr Fox.- Oh!

0:17:10 > 0:17:12OK, Barry, your question for the round.

0:17:12 > 0:17:18"A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life"

0:17:18 > 0:17:21is a line from the opening of which Shakespeare play?

0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Oh, that's Romeo And Juliet. - Romeo And Juliet is quite right.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- I know you would have known that, John.- Yes.- Just the way it falls.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Sorry, you've been knocked out. Barry is in the final.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Leaves us very evenly balanced.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Come back to us, gents, and we'll play the final round.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39So, this is what we have been playing towards.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41It is time for our final round

0:17:41 > 0:17:43and, as always, it's General Knowledge questions.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46But those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:17:46 > 0:17:49won't be allowed to take part in this round,

0:17:49 > 0:17:51so that is John and Bill from Bobby's Dazzlers

0:17:51 > 0:17:53but also Judith and Dave from the Eggheads.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Would you please leave the studio?

0:17:57 > 0:17:58So, Bobby, Julian and Colin,

0:17:58 > 0:18:01you're playing to win Bobby's Dazzlers £6,000.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Barry, Chris and Kevin,

0:18:03 > 0:18:06you're playing for something that I don't think money can buy.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08It's the Eggheads' reputation.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14They're all General Knowledge. You can confer.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16So, Bobby's Dazzlers, the question is,

0:18:16 > 0:18:19can your three brains defeat these three?

0:18:19 > 0:18:21But you don't need to answer that.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Just tell me whether you want to go first or second.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Go first?- Yeah. - Go first, please, Jeremy.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Colin and team, good luck. Here we are with your first question.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38At which football World Cup was Eusebio the top goal scorer?

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Well, five of them were penalties, if I remember rightly.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Football's not my thing at all.

0:18:49 > 0:18:55- '66?- Yeah, we're pretty confident it was definitely '66.- Yes, go for it.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59OK, we'll go for 1966, please.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02You're a quizzer, aren't you, Colin? 1966 is the right answer.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05OK, Eggheads.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07What type of clothing is a jerkin?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13- TOGETHER:- Sleeveless jacket?

0:19:13 > 0:19:16It's a type of sleeveless jacket.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18You're right. Sleeveless jacket, it is.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Challengers.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24"Vogel" is the German word for which of these?

0:19:27 > 0:19:29I can't get anything out of the, um...

0:19:30 > 0:19:33"Vogel". Is there any word we get from "vogel"?

0:19:33 > 0:19:35I'm trying to think of another language that's similar.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Vogel...- Is it like "voiseau" and "bird" in French?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42No, I don't think bird. I think bat or bear.

0:19:42 > 0:19:47- Bear... - Could be totally wrong but...

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- What do you think? - I don't think it's bird.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- What do you want to have a go at? I think bear.- Could be any of them.

0:19:53 > 0:19:58- You'd go for bear?- Mmm.- Shall we go for bear?- But it's a guess.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01I'm just trying to think of something

0:20:01 > 0:20:03that reminds you of it. I can't think.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06I've got a hunch for bird. You don't think it's bird?

0:20:07 > 0:20:08If you do, go for it.

0:20:08 > 0:20:13No, it's just a one in three... Vogel...

0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Something's telling me bird. - Co on then. Go for it, Colin.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17I think it's bird.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Really?- Go on, right. - I don't know why.- Yeah.

0:20:20 > 0:20:26- Here goes. Going once...- Two out of three.- Going twice...- Yes.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28We're going to say bird.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Now, in the back there, Bill taught German...- Yes.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35..and had his head in his hands for a period there.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37I did German A level, so I know this word,

0:20:37 > 0:20:40but I'm trying to think how you would get to it. Bird is right.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Whoa!- Bird is right. Let me put you out of your misery.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45You have two points. Eggheads, which musical star

0:20:45 > 0:20:50plays Danny McGuire in the 1980 film Xanadu?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I don't recall Frank Sinatra...

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Well, not that I saw Xanadu

0:20:57 > 0:21:00- but I've got a faint idea Gene Kelly was in it.- I think Gene Kelly.

0:21:00 > 0:21:05I don't associate Frank Sinatra with it and Bing Crosby was dead by then.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09- I think it's... - I'm happy with that.- OK.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Not 100% we think it's Gene Kelly.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Gene Kelly is the right answer.- Ooh.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Oh, my goodness, this is making my heart race, this one.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21Get the third one right and you might not have to do anything more.

0:21:21 > 0:21:26Streckfus was the middle name of which famous author, born in 1924?

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Wasn't Truman Capote born around 1900, I think? Um...

0:21:36 > 0:21:39And Norman Mailer was a lot later, wasn't it?

0:21:39 > 0:21:44- Gore Vidal is about the right age. - He's got a stranger name.- Yeah.

0:21:44 > 0:21:50- That's a point because Gore is quite an unusual name.- Yeah.- OK.- Yeah.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Let's... I don't want to keep you all day, Jeremy.- That's all right.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Are we OK to go for Gore Vidal, everyone?- OK.- Yeah.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Gore Vidal. - Shall I check with the Eggheads?

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Shall we see if they know? - They probably will.- Go on, Eggheads.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04- I think it's Truman Capote. - Truman Capote is the answer.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Ah.- So, Eggheads, you have a chance to take the contest.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11In church bell ringing, what name is given

0:22:11 > 0:22:14to the coloured woollen section in the middle of a rope?

0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Goodness, I haven't a clue. - Me neither.- Um...

0:22:22 > 0:22:27- Molly, gilly or sally. - I honestly haven't got a...

0:22:27 > 0:22:32My initial inclination was for sally,

0:22:32 > 0:22:36- but the more I think about it, gilly is relatively unusual.- Mmm.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39It just makes me think, "Why is that there?"

0:22:39 > 0:22:41It could be a shortened term for something.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Gilly could be short for something. - It could be.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47- It's the only one that's likely to be short for anything.- Mmm.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- We've got to take it. - It'll go to Sudden Death anyway.

0:22:52 > 0:22:56- We've got to take a guess, haven't we?- Yeah.- Go for gilly then.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Maybe go for that, on the basis that it's the most unusual sounding one.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02OK, Jeremy, we haven't got the faintest idea

0:23:02 > 0:23:06but, on the basis that gilly is a slightly more unusual name

0:23:06 > 0:23:10than the other two, so you wonder why it's there, we'll go for that.

0:23:10 > 0:23:15- Correct answer is sally. You're still in it.- Ah.- This is fun.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17We go to Sudden Death.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Get's a bit harder. You don't get alternatives.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Here's your question, Challengers.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26The Empire State Building is in which borough of New York City.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30- Manhattan.- Yeah?- It's not Staten Island, or Richmond, its real name.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34- Not Queens.- It's not Queens. Yeah. OK?- Yeah.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36We'll go for Manhattan, please.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Manhattan is the right answer. Sudden Death.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Get this wrong,

0:23:40 > 0:23:43£6,000 goes to the Challengers.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47Which foodstuff takes its name from the Portuguese for "quince"?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Marmalade, isn't it?- Marmalade.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Marmelada.- Marmelada. - Happy with that?- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:23:53 > 0:23:59- Just running it through, just so we don't... Yeah?- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03- We think that's marmalade. - It is marmalade.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Sudden Death. £6,000.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Back to you, Challengers.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11Which Ronald Harwood play did the BBC produce in 2015

0:24:11 > 0:24:16with Anthony Hopkins as Sir and Ian McKellen as Norman?

0:24:16 > 0:24:20- There's one called The Dresser, isn't there?- Was it The Dresser?

0:24:20 > 0:24:25- Yeah, there was.- There was.- Yeah. - Yes.- Take your time.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27I don't remember it.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30I didn't actually watch it but I believe it was fantastic.

0:24:30 > 0:24:35- And was it called that?- I think... Yes, yes.- I think so, yeah.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39- OK, going once... - Yes.- We think that's The Dresser.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Well done. Well done, Bobby, especially.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45The Dresser, it is, directed by Richard Eyre.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47So you've got the initiative here.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Eggheads, up on the ropes.

0:24:49 > 0:24:56Which Massachusetts ice hockey team is the oldest US team in the NHL?

0:24:56 > 0:24:58The only one I can think of from Massachusetts

0:24:58 > 0:25:02- are the Boston Bruins and they are an old team.- Yeah.

0:25:02 > 0:25:07- They're the NHL team for Boston. - Yeah, Boston is Massachusetts.- OK.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10It's a bit far south for ice hockey. Yeah.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13Yeah, well, anyway, it's Boston Bruins, I think.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16- That's what we're going with. - That's OK?- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20- I think that's the Boston Bruins. - Boston Bruins is the right answer.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Ice hockey team.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24You're doing well. You're holding them off.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28So, Bobby's Dazzlers, your next question, Sudden Death.

0:25:28 > 0:25:35In the 1964 film Carry On Cleo, which actor says,

0:25:35 > 0:25:38"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"?

0:25:38 > 0:25:42- I've got a very strong hunch for Kenneth Williams.- Go for it.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Go for it.- Go for it, Colin. - Here we go again.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49We'll take our chances with Kenneth Williams, please.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53It is Kenneth Williams, playing Julius Caesar.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55They've all got it in for YOU, haven't they?

0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Mmm.- Which Neolithic monument near Avebury in Wiltshire

0:25:59 > 0:26:03is the largest manmade prehistoric mound in Europe?

0:26:03 > 0:26:06- TOGETHER:- Silbury Hill. - Silbury Hill.- Yeah.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Yeah.- Right by the A4.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12It is, it is. That is Silbury Hill.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Yeah, a flat-topped, conical mound,

0:26:14 > 0:26:1740 metres high or more. Silbury Hill.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Your question, £6,000.

0:26:19 > 0:26:24The model Ireland Baldwin is the daughter of Alec Baldwin

0:26:24 > 0:26:26and which famous actress?

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Um, I've got a name in my head but it's just a guess.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32- What do you think? - I had a thought for Susan Sarandon.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35But think of another one.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Oh, really?

0:26:40 > 0:26:44I've no idea, guys, sorry. If you had Susan Sarandon in your mind...

0:26:44 > 0:26:46There's a chance it's Susan Sarandon.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- I can't think of anyone else. - So, go for it. Don't worry.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53Oh, we'll... Got a very faint hunch of a name

0:26:53 > 0:26:55but it's almost certainly wrong,

0:26:55 > 0:26:57but it's the only name we can come up with.

0:26:57 > 0:27:02- We'll say Susan Sarandon.- OK. Is she the mother of Ireland Baldwin?

0:27:02 > 0:27:07- Eggs?- I think it's Kim Basinger. - Kim Basinger.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest is over.

0:27:10 > 0:27:15Which royal character, in a play by Shakespeare, has the line,

0:27:15 > 0:27:18"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown"?

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- I thought it was Henry IV.- Yeah. - Yeah.- That was my first thought.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Not sure if it's Part 1 or Part 2, but I think it's him.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26- We only need to care about the character. It's Henry IV.- Yeah.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30- I think it's Henry IV.- Yeah.- OK. We believe that's Henry IV.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32If you're right, the contest is over.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36If you're wrong, we play on, Sudden Death. Do you know?

0:27:36 > 0:27:39No, but I've got a strong hunch it's going to be correct.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42Yeah, it's very dangerous to bet against them.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Henry IV is the correct answer. We say well done, Eggheads.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47- You have won.- Brilliant game.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well, Bobby and team, honestly,

0:27:54 > 0:27:57- we haven't seen quizzing like that for a long time, have we?- No.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01To go that far into the final on Sudden Death is quite exceptional.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Really well done. Some great answers. You really ferreted around.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Commiserations to your brilliant Dazzlers, Bobby, and to you.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14They worked hard today. The winning streak continues on this side.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16It does mean you won't be going home with the £6,000,

0:28:16 > 0:28:21so the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, congratulations.

0:28:21 > 0:28:25Who will beat you? I wonder. Join us next time to see

0:28:25 > 0:28:28if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32£7,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
