0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34And challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Black Cats.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Now, this team from Greenock have been
0:00:37 > 0:00:41quizzing together at The Black Cat pub for five years.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Stephen, I'm a customer service advisor.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Paul, and I'm a product administrator.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm James, and I'm a customer service representative.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Jonathan, I'm a support worker.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Alan, I'm an electrician.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- So, Stephen and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Hiya.- Great to see you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- Tell us about the pub. - The Black Cat is a pub in Greenock,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08it's our local pub, and we attend the quiz at it every Thursday.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- And you're family and friends on this team?- Yes, we are.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Paul is my brother, James, Jonathan and Alan are all friends of ours.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18OK. What things do you do when you're not quizzing?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21We're very much watching football together and things like that.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Football?- Yeah.- You've been to see some comedy, Stephen.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25I have. Recently, yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Do these classify as comedians here? THEY CHUCKLE
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Not at all. Quite the opposite. Not to be laughed at.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33They are not to be laughed at. You are right.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35They are quite serious most of the time.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Although there are occasional outbreaks of madness.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Good luck in the game.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Everyday, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:42 > 0:01:45for our Challengers, but if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50So, Black Cats, the Eggheads have won the last six games.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54It means £7,000 says you can't beat them.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Would you like to try? - Definitely.- Absolutely.- All right.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02So, who would like this?
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- Alan would.- Me?- You know your sport. - If you think so.- If you want.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- You've got a broader...lot knowledge than...- That's fine.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Let's give it a try.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Let's hope there's not much cricket. - Yeah.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Alan.- Aye, Sport.- Against whom?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Judith's usually...- Chris. - Chris?- Chris.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Chris, he says. All right. Alan from the Black Cats
0:02:23 > 0:02:26versus Chris from the Eggheads, and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29please go to our legendary Question Room.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- So, you like to quiz, Alan?- Yes. - And tell us about what you...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36where you quiz and what you do.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- There's just a local pub, weekly basis.- Yeah.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42We just watch...watch all our quiz shows.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- So, would you like to go first or second, Alan?- I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50And here is your question.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55In the year 2000, the American athlete Maurice Greene
0:02:55 > 0:02:59won an Olympic gold medal in which athletics event?
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Er, well, I think I remember this. I'm pretty sure it's the 100 metres.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Yeah, bang on. Well done.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Chris. Which footballer
0:03:12 > 0:03:15joined New York City FC in 2014
0:03:15 > 0:03:18after 13 seasons with Chelsea?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I think Drogba's still there.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Don't think it was John Terry. I think it was Frank Lampard.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30He was a Chelsea veteran.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Yeah, Lampard, it was.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34OK, Alan, over to you. Which of these
0:03:34 > 0:03:37rugby union coaches was born in New Zealand?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Well, don't think it's Stuart Lancaster. It's...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49It's either Warren Gatland or Vern Cotter.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I think one's Australian and one's New Zealand.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'll say Warren Gatland.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Eggs, what do you think? - It's Warren Gatland.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Warren Gatland is right, Alan. Well done.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08Chris, which English boxer was knocked out by Carl Froch
0:04:08 > 0:04:11during a world title bout in May 2014?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I think that was James DeGale.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- No. George Groves, Chris.- Mm-hm.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23OK. Now, if you get this right,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25you've got the round, Alan.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30In 2012, Dean Elgar made his test cricket debut
0:04:30 > 0:04:32for which country?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Er... Well, I've never heard of him. I'll just have to guess.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Try Australia.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Australia...is wrong.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47South Africa.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Which lets Chris back in.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Mr Hughes.- Mm-hm.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Silver, black and white are the team colours
0:04:57 > 0:05:00of which NFL American football team?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Well, the Cincinnati Bengals
0:05:09 > 0:05:12probably take their name from a Bengal tiger,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15so they'd play in sort of orange and black stripes.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Kansas City Chiefs probably horn in on Native American culture,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22so they probably have more...
0:05:24 > 0:05:25..natural colours.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30So...that set of colours presumably belong to the Oakland Raiders.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32JEREMY CHUCKLES I like your logic.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I don't know if the logic's robust,
0:05:34 > 0:05:35but the answer is...
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Oakland Raiders is correct.- Mm.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39So...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42equal after three. We go to Sudden Death, Alan.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Here's your question.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46In an October 1974 fight,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50which heavyweight boxer used the tactic known as rope-a-dope
0:05:50 > 0:05:53where he pretended to be trapped against the ropes
0:05:53 > 0:05:58in order to goad and tire out his opponent George Foreman?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well, I remember this, Jeremy.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01That was Muhammad Ali.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Muhammad Ali is the right answer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Chris, to stay in.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Located in the French Alps, competitors were required to ascend
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Alpe d'Huez twice in one day in July 2013
0:06:15 > 0:06:18as part of which sporting competition?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- HE SIGHS - Must be the Tour de France.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Tour de France is right.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Back to you, Alan.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Which US tennis player made headlines in late 2015
0:06:29 > 0:06:32when she chased and caught a man
0:06:32 > 0:06:36who took her phone while she was eating in a restaurant?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Going to guess.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Serena Williams.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Serena Williams is right.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Well done.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Got her phone back. OK, to stay in, Chris.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Possibly relating to an ancient civilisation,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56what is the nickname of Exeter City FC?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Well, I know the name of the tribe that used to inhabit that
0:06:59 > 0:07:03part of the world, but it wouldn't be the nickname of a football team.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Erm...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Are they not the Phoenicians?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- No. The Grecians. - Grecians. Right, well...
0:07:12 > 0:07:13There we go.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Slightly tenuous connection to do with the fair
0:07:15 > 0:07:17that they had in the city some time ago.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19A very long time ago. But you're knocked out,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Chris, I'm sorry. Alan, well done.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Well done, Alan.- There we are. You're in the final round.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27And if you come back to us, we will play on.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31So, as it stands, the Black Cats have not lost any brains from
0:07:31 > 0:07:34the final round. The Eggheads have lost a brain. They lost Chris.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37And we play on, and it is Politics for you.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Who would like this?- Johnny?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Jonathan?- I think you might have
0:07:41 > 0:07:44a bit more knowledge than anyone else, Jonathan.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- I think I'll go for it, then, aye. - I think he's going to...
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Think we're going to go with Jonathan.- I'll go for that.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Right. Politics against whom? Can't be Chris.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I'll take... Go for CJ, then.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Jonathan from Black Cats versus CJ From the Eggheads on Politics.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01And, please, to ensure there's no conferring, take your positions.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07So, if you win, Jonathan, what will you spend the money on?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Well, I've always fancied going on to travel a bit.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I fancy going to see Machu Picchu.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17So if I won anything, I'd put some of the money
0:08:17 > 0:08:19towards a visit out there.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22How nice. And would you like to go first or second?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Here is your question.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Earth In The Balance is a 1992 book
0:08:32 > 0:08:38primarily addressing ecological issues by which American politician?
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Well, I can't see George W Bush being in that sort of subject,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51or Donald Trump, so I'll go for Al Gore.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Bang on. Al Gore is right. Well done.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55CJ...
0:08:55 > 0:08:59who was the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer
0:08:59 > 0:09:02on 1st January 2000?
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Hmm.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I mean, it should be Gordon Brown.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I mean, surely he was there for the whole of Blair's term,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14'97 to 2007.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Chancellor of the Exchequer?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Who was the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer
0:09:20 > 0:09:22on 1st January 2000?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Gordon Brown.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Gordon Brown is the right answer. Yeah, you're right.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Here is your question, Jonathan.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32In which decade did the UK government
0:09:32 > 0:09:37introduce restrictions prohibiting the UK news media
0:09:37 > 0:09:41from broadcasting the voices of representatives of several loyalist
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and republican organisations, including Sinn Fein?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Erm...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I don't think it'll be the '40s.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57And I think the '60s is slightly too early.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00So I'll go for the '80s, 1980s.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Yes, under Mrs Thatcher. You're quite right. The 1980s.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05CJ.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10What word precedes "face of capitalism"
0:10:10 > 0:10:13in a phrase coined in a 1973 speech
0:10:13 > 0:10:16about a scandal known as the Lonrho affair?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'm not aware of the speech, but I have heard of
0:10:24 > 0:10:28the unacceptable face of capitalism, I think.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Unaccountable face of capitalism?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Unrestrained...?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I mean, neither of those ring a bell,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40but I think I have heard of the unacceptable face of capitalism,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43so that's what I'm going to go for.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45OK. You're right, CJ. Unacceptable.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47So, Jonathan,
0:10:47 > 0:10:52in August 2015, Kezia Dugdale was elected
0:10:52 > 0:10:55the leader of which political party in Scotland?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02That would be the Scottish Labour Party.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Yeah, well done.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06It might have been embarrassing if you got that wrong.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Certainly.- Yeah. Labour's right.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11So you got three out of three there.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Well done. Nicely played.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15See if CJ can stay in.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20In a 2015 biography of George HW Bush by Jon Meacham,
0:11:20 > 0:11:24the former president reportedly describes
0:11:24 > 0:11:29the attitude of which political figure as "iron-ass"?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, the one of those that
0:11:36 > 0:11:38George Bush Senior is most associated with
0:11:38 > 0:11:41is obviously Saddam Hussein with the first Gulf War.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Erm...
0:11:44 > 0:11:48So he was president '88 to '92.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52So Blair hadn't even become...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I have to assume it was somebody who was a contemporary of him
0:11:55 > 0:11:57while he was president.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02Although Dick Cheney was around, he became his son's vice president,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04and Tony Blair hadn't even become
0:12:04 > 0:12:07leader of the Labour Party at that time.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Don't know this.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12But simply cos he was a contemporary and it's not somebody
0:12:12 > 0:12:16he'd necessarily want to be polite about, I'll try Saddam Hussein.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Yeah, I see what you've done there.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Tony Blair, you're right, wasn't on the scene, really.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Dick Cheney, I think, was his Defence Secretary
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- in the first Gulf War, though...- Oh. - ..so he very much was.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- And the answer is Dick Cheney.- Yeah.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30So you've been knocked out, CJ.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Oh, dear, we're getting a bit of a rout going here.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Well done, Jonathan.- Thank you. - Nicely played.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36You're in the final round.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- One step closer to Machu Picchu. - Thank you.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Please return to us here in the studio and we'll play on.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46The Black Cats have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49The Eggheads have lost two brains and they're looking a bit worried.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51So, Arts & Books for you now.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Who would like this?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I'm nothing like comfortable with Arts & Books.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Nothing resembling comfortable.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- What about you?- I don't think anybody...- I'm worse.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03You're worse? Well, I guess it will have to be me, then, by default.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Yes, OK. James, our customer service representative, Arts & Books.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Who's it going to be?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Who do we think?- Judith? Yeah, we'll try Judith.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18So James from the Black Cats versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21And please go to our Question Room.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25So, Arts & Books, James. Do you want to go first or second?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Um, I think I might just grab the bull by the horns and go first.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Good luck. Here we go, James.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40A new record was set for a Blue Period Picasso painting in
0:13:40 > 0:13:47November 2015 when La Gommeuse from 1901 fetched what price at auction?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57The only thing I'm thinking here for it is, if you're saying a new
0:13:57 > 0:14:02record, I would expect it to be fairly high.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04So I would go with 450 million.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06The answer is 45 million.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Judith.
0:14:09 > 0:14:142015 marked the centenary of the birth of which playwright?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Well, Alan Bennett and Alan Ayckbourn
0:14:21 > 0:14:24are both still alive, and I don't think they're 100.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So it must be Arthur Miller.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Arthur Miller is quite right.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Genius.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31OK, James.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Alistair MacLean's 1967 Second World War adventure novel
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Where Eagles Dare centres on a mission to rescue
0:14:40 > 0:14:44a captured American general from where?
0:14:49 > 0:14:53For that one, I actually remember the film,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55so I would say it's actually a castle.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58It is, hence the eagle's reference. Yeah, a castle.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00So, you have a point.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04And let's see if Judith can get this one right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09Depictions of the work of which of these artists appear in the pages of
0:15:09 > 0:15:14the new UK passport design that was unveiled in late 2015?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Oh, God, I have absolutely no idea.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23So I'm going to have to guess.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'm going to say Damien Hirst.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Anish Kapoor...
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Oh, really?- ..is the answer.- Gosh.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33You're stuck on one point.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Your question now, James.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38In which novel by Evelyn Waugh does the central character,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40a student at Oxford,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43fall victim to the drunken antics of the Bollinger Club?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53The names aren't instantly jumping out at me.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Something about it seems familiar.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I would have to go between maybe Vile Bodies and Men At Arms.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06And I think I'm going to go with Vile Bodies.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Yeah, you chose between the wrong two cos it's the other one -
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Decline And Fall.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13And, Judith, you have a chance to take the round.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18Baroness Orczy, who created the character The Scarlet Pimpernel,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20was born in which country?
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Well, not Iran.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Her name sounds more Hungarian than anything else.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm going to say Hungary.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Hungary is the right answer. You got the round. Well done, Judith.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34There we go.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36The Scarlet Pimpernel served you well.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39You are in the final. Sorry, James.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Beaten by our Egghead. But not over for your team, not by a long way.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Please come back and rejoin us and we'll see what happens next.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50So, as it stands, the Black Cats have lost a brain from the final
0:16:50 > 0:16:53round, the Eggheads have lost two. Are you pulling back, I wonder?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55The next subject is Film & TV.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Last one before the final, guys.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00I think you should go for it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I think I'll play that one.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04OK, the skipper goes in. Now, who would you like to choose?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06You can have either Kevin or Barry.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I think we should go... We should take Kevin.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Aye, have a shot. I would take Kevin.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Aye.- Go for it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16All the team says, well, rather than me, that it will be Kevin.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20More and more people pick Kevin. You can't avoid him. If he's there,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23at some point, he's going to be playing. So good luck, Stephen,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26from the Black Cats, taking on Kevin from the Eggheads
0:17:26 > 0:17:29on Film & TV. Please go to the Question Room.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Film & TV, Stephen. First or second?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I think I'll stick with the team and go first, please.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And here's your question. Good luck.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45Which television journalist conducted the famous 1995
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Panorama interview with Diana Princess of Wales?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Um...
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Well, they're all famous for interviews. I think
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I recall it being Martin Bashir.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I think I'll go with Martin Bashir.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Martin Bashir is quite right, yeah.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07OK.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10During the mid-1990s, Kevin, the remains of the character
0:18:10 > 0:18:16Trevor Jordache were discovered beneath a patio in which soap opera?
0:18:21 > 0:18:26I think this has become almost a cliche that is referred to sometimes
0:18:26 > 0:18:27now, the body under the patio.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It was a very big story
0:18:29 > 0:18:31at the time in Brookside.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Brookside is right.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Over to you, Stephen.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38The actor and writer Colin Welland, who died in 2015,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41won a best supporting actor BAFTA
0:18:41 > 0:18:44for his role as the sympathetic English teacher
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Mr Farthing in which 1969 film?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Um...
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I think I recall reading the book when I was in school.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03I think there may have actually been a copy of the VHS around our house
0:19:03 > 0:19:06at the same time as well. I think it was Kes.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Nicely done, Kes is right. Well done.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Kevin, your question.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15What is the title of the 2015 film in which Bradley Cooper stars
0:19:15 > 0:19:18as a chef and former addict
0:19:18 > 0:19:21attempting to earn three Michelin stars?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27It's...not one I've seen,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30but I'm fairly sure it's called Burnt.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Burnt is right.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34So you're both playing well. Two points each. Back to you, Stephen.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Team captain. See if you can stay in. The Quest For Peace was the
0:19:38 > 0:19:43subtitle of the fourth film in which movie franchise?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I am a big fan of this series of films.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I think it's the least successful of the franchise. Actually, I think
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Christopher Reeve had to finance some of it himself.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58But it was Superman.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Superman is quite right. Three out of three. Let's see if you can knock
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Kevin out here. Kevin, to stay in.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09The 1990s comedy drama series Due South followed the exploits
0:20:09 > 0:20:14of a Canadian bounty and an American cop based in which US city?
0:20:18 > 0:20:23I'm not 100%...sure on this,
0:20:23 > 0:20:25but what I imme...what I thought before
0:20:25 > 0:20:28the choices came up was Chicago, so...
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Yeah, Chicago.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Chicago is correct.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37All right, three out of three. We go to Sudden Death. You're equal.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Stephen, it gets a bit harder.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You've played a perfect round so far, well done.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- But now I don't give you alternative answers. OK?- Mm-hm.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51In which 1973 science fiction film is a futuristic holiday resort
0:20:51 > 0:20:55called Delos advertised with the slogan
0:20:55 > 0:20:57"Boy, have we got a vacation for you!"?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'm struggling to find any type of answer for it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04It's a bit before my time, to be honest.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Um...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I'm sorry, I have no idea. I'll have to pass.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- No answer?- No, sorry.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Do you know, Kevin?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Westworld.- Westworld.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Kevin has a chance to take the round.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21In 2005,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Lee Mack took over from Nick Hancock
0:21:23 > 0:21:25as the host of which TV panel show?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I know the one you mean, but I can't think of the title.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I think it's a sports-based one.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I may be wrong there.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Um...
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Now, I'm... I'm blanked. I'm blanked.- OK. Eggheads, do you know?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- They Think It's All Over. - They Think It's All Over.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Yeah, yeah. It's the sports one, isn't it?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43All right, Stephen.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45The 1980s soap opera Sons And Daughters
0:21:45 > 0:21:49following the trials and tribulations of the Hamilton
0:21:49 > 0:21:51and Palmer families, among others,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54was produced in which country?
0:21:54 > 0:21:58I have got vague recollections of my grandmother being a big fan
0:21:58 > 0:22:02of this show. I think it's Australian.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Australia is right.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Kevin, which recurring character
0:22:06 > 0:22:10in the long-running sitcom Peep Show was played by the actor Matt King?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Surrender. Never seen Peep Show, don't have a clue about...
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Other than the two main characters.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I mean, I can... I simply have absolutely no idea.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- No, I can tell.- I couldn't even make a sensible guess.- I can tell.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Call him Jim, I don't know. - We'll turn you off
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and turn you back on again later. BARRY LAUGHS
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Sometimes that works.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Super Hans. JEREMY LAUGHS
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Sorry, Kevin. - It doesn't mean anything.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36But, Stephen, nice work. You've knocked out Kevin.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38How about that?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So, game on for the final. Come back to us, we'll play it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Wow, what a final we might have in prospect.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48This is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:53 > 0:22:55won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58So, that's James from the Black Cats but also CJ, Chris
0:22:58 > 0:22:59and Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06OK, Allen, Jonathan, Paul and Stephen,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08you are playing to win the Black Cats £7,000.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Good jackpot today.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Barry and Judith, you are now playing for something that, I think,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and to get to 10,000, to keep this roll going.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Now, as usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24They are all going to be General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29So the question is, are your four brains able to defeat these two?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- First, yeah?- I think we'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Good luck. Here is your first question.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44In three polls for TV programmes between 2002 and 2005,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47which single scientist was selected
0:23:47 > 0:23:50as one of the 100 greatest Americans,
0:23:50 > 0:23:55one of the 100 greatest Britons and one of the ten greatest Canadians?
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I quite like Alexander Graham Bell for that.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- I think he stayed in Canada at some point.- Aye.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Yeah, it could be.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Alexander Graham Bell, go for it.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18We're not 100% sure, but we think it's Alexander Graham Bell.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Whole team, yes, you're right,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Alexander Graham Bell. Well done.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24OK.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Your question.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30The grotesque waterspouts known as gargoyles are most associated
0:24:30 > 0:24:32with which style of architecture?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Gothic?- Gothic. Gothic cathedrals. - Yes, we both agreed.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42It's a wonderful representation of Gothic art.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Gothic is quite right. Over to you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:52Released in 1977, Salisbury Hill was which singer's first solo single?
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Gabriel.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57- Hm?- Peter Gabriel.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Everyone seems quite sure.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02We're going to go for Peter Gabriel, please.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Yeah. If Lisa was here, I'd ask her to sing it. You're right.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07All right, so your second question
0:25:07 > 0:25:09to catch up, Eggheads,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11in this very higgledy-piggledy game.
0:25:11 > 0:25:17Baffin Bay is an ice-clogged body of water several hundred miles
0:25:17 > 0:25:20long situated between North America and where?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Well, Baffin Bay is up in the Arctic.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Baffin Island is one of the largest islands in Canada.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Yes, I thought it was.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34And Canada is, at that point, is next to Greenland.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- So my answer would be Greenland. - OK, I'll go with that.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Greenland.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40- You're sure about that?- Yes.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Greenland is right.- Phew.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Two-two.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Here's your question, guys.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50The Turkish political party the AKP, which regained its majority
0:25:50 > 0:25:53in the general election in late 2015 and is the party of
0:25:53 > 0:25:57President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59is known by what name in English?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01So the AKP, is it...?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Johnny's blank expression doesn't give me much hope.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Security and Stability? - That's what I was thinking.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It involves security and stability.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Got any ideas?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I'm just thinking that...
0:26:22 > 0:26:23I don't know, but I would
0:26:23 > 0:26:25maybe guess faith and respect.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26- But I don't know.- Faith and respect?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I would go for that then.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Again, we're not 100% sure,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31but we're drawn towards
0:26:31 > 0:26:34the Faith And Respect Party, so I think we're going to go with that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Do you know?- No.- No.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37I would've been more inclined
0:26:37 > 0:26:39to go for the Justice And Development Party,
0:26:39 > 0:26:43although I can see the logic behind going for Faith And Respect.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I just don't think it is.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48It's the wrong answer, I'm afraid. It is, as Barry says,
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Justice And Development.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51So,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55the game is in their hands now. Here's your question.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01From takeoff to landing, what was the total duration of Yuri Gagarin's
0:27:01 > 0:27:06historic 1961 space mission which saw him orbit the Earth once?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Well, I think... He only orbited the Earth once,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20and I think he was only in orbit for something around an hour.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21He's got to get up there.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24So his getting up there perhaps would have taken 20 minutes
0:27:24 > 0:27:26and coming down perhaps 20 minutes.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28It doesn't take that long.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Because he only orbited once,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32and an orbit of the Earth doesn't take that long,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35I'm inclined to go for one hour and 48 minutes.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36If he went for any of the others,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I think he might have had a hamster-powered rocket.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44The answer is one hour, 48 minutes. We say congratulations,
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Very sporting of you to clap them,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54but you did, you tore into them there.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55You really did.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- A fine team.- Yeah, a fine team. Honestly, that's...
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Not very often do those three great players end up in the sin bin.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Black Cats, commiserations. I'm sorry.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I hope you get to Machu Picchu, Jonathan...
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- Thank you.- ..despite the Eggheads snatching your money away from you.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11They've done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13their winning streak continues. It is a good -
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I can officially say - a good streak now.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16We'll see if it gets even better.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19It does mean that you're not going home with the £7,000.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21The money therefore rolls over to our next show.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Only two of you, but you played a very solid game in the final there.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30And I wonder who will ever beat you.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the
0:28:34 > 0:28:35brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38£8,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
