0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:35Hoping to beat the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are The Stitchers from Shropshire.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39This team are all members of the Wrekin branch
0:00:39 > 0:00:42of the Embroiderers' Guild. And they've been getting in
0:00:42 > 0:00:45some quizzing practice at their local village hall
0:00:45 > 0:00:48to ensure they will have today's match against the Eggheads
0:00:48 > 0:00:50all sewn up. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Janet. I keep a craft supply shop.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Hilary and I'm a retired physiotherapist.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Wendy. I'm a part-time university lecturer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Sylvie and I'm a retired civil servant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Pam and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- So, Janet and team, welcome. - Hello.- Hello, Jeremy!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Oh, what a fantastic, lively...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14You're way livelier than them.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- So, you stitch together.- We do.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Right, meaning that you sit and you stitch individual things
0:01:19 > 0:01:21or the same thing or what?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24It varies. Usually we get together at a monthly meeting
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and we talk about stitching. And someone talks to us
0:01:27 > 0:01:30about stitching and shows us different techniques.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34And we get involved in workshops and exhibitions together.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- OK, and you're quizzers as well? - Yes.- You are now.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Oh, we are now, yes.- Good, well, good luck against these five.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:44 > 0:01:45for our Challengers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that prize money rolls over.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- So Stitchers, the Eggheads have won the last nine games.- Oh!
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Right, so they're really motoring.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58That's bad news but the good news is £10,000 is on the table.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Excellent.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- So, it's worth playing for. Shall we start?- Yes, please.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03OK, Janet and team.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Who wants to take this?- Who wants this?- Who read a book once?- I did!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- I have read one.- Would you like to do it?- Yes, please.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- Hilary will do it.- OK, brilliant. - Who do you fancy?
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- Because it's so pot lucky.- David. - Why not? He's a nice chap?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Dave, please.- Tremendous Knowledge Dave?- Yes, please.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29OK, Hilary from the Stitchers versus Dave from the Eggheads
0:02:29 > 0:02:30on Arts & Books.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35please take your positions in our very famous Question Room.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So, Arts & Books, Hilary. Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Oh, I'll go first, please.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Here we go.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49What type of artist would be most likely to use a palette knife?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I think that's quite clearly a painter.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Painter is right.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Tremendous Knowledge Dave, which of these novels
0:03:00 > 0:03:05opens in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Right, don't think it's Wolf Hall. don't think it's the Da Vinci Code.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'm going to have to go for Brave New World.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21By Aldous Huxley, that is right. Brave New World.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Hilary, which art term refers to a preparation
0:03:24 > 0:03:28of plaster of Paris and glue used as a surface for painting?
0:03:33 > 0:03:39Well, fresco is a painting on a wall that will have had some preparation.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I don't think that's the answer and I don't know what tondo is.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'm going to go for gesso, please.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Yeah, nicely done, it is gesso.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48OK.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49- Dave.- Mm-hm.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53TS Eliot was the publisher of which poet
0:03:53 > 0:03:58whose memorial was unveiled in Westminster Abbey's Poets' Corner
0:03:58 > 0:04:00at the foot of Eliot's own?
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Now, all I'm going to go on is that with John Betjeman
0:04:10 > 0:04:13and Ted Hughes both being Poet Laureates,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16they would have had their own space in Poets' Corner.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I've got to go Philip Larkin on that particular basis.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I'll go Philip Larkin.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Ted Hughes is the answer. - Never heard of that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Come unstuck there.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30OK, Hilary.
0:04:30 > 0:04:36A painting by which artist achieved a price of 170 million
0:04:36 > 0:04:39at auction in November 2015.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Is this...?
0:04:44 > 0:04:49I think, in this case, I think I'm going to go for Picasso, please.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Dave, any ideas? - I think it's Modigliani.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- It is Modigliani, actually.- Oh, OK.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57OK, so two to our Challengers.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Dave, if you get this wrong, you're out.- Yes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04What is the name of the sled dog who's the protagonist
0:05:04 > 0:05:08of the Jack London novel The Call Of The Wild?
0:05:11 > 0:05:16I should know this. Straight away. And I don't.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Sorry about this to the Eggheads but I'm going to go Buck.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You got it right, Dave. Well done.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27You were on the edge.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Sudden Death we go to, OK, Hillary?- Yes.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Here's your first question, gets a bit harder,
0:05:33 > 0:05:34I don't give you alternatives.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37"They create a desert and call it peace"
0:05:37 > 0:05:40are words put into the mouth of a British chieftain
0:05:40 > 0:05:42by which Roman historian?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I think I'll go with Ptolemy.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- No, Tacitus.- Ooh!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52OK, Dave, for the round.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Which Renaissance painter and architect left his final work,
0:05:56 > 0:06:01The Transfiguration, incomplete on his death in 1520?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04He died in 1520? Probably got it wrong, Raphael.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Raphael is the right answer, you've taken the round.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Sorry, Hilary, you've been knocked out there.- Thank you.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Please come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Right, the threads a little bit loose now, Stitchers.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18But it's early days.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20You can save it, no question.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26You've lost a brain, the Eggheads are all sitting there, so smug.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28The next subject is Sport.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Oh!- Who would like this?- That's me.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- OK, Pam?- Yes.- Retired teacher against anyone but Dave.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- What do you think about Lisa? - Yeah, we'll go for Lisa.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Go for Lisa, is that cool?- Why not?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45OK, so Pam from the Stitchers versus Lisa from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47To ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- So, Pam, do you want to go first or second?- First, please.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01All right, good luck to you. Here is your question, Pam.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05What type of athlete would be most likely to use starting blocks?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Well, I think a shot-putter would look pretty silly
0:07:12 > 0:07:15using a starting gate.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19I think that you'll find is a sprinter.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Sprinter is quite right.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Lisa.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Crouch, bind, set
0:07:26 > 0:07:30is an instruction given by the referee in which of these sports?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35It ain't cycling.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Crouch, bind, set.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Is that the scrum in rugby union?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Rugby union.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I could see it being cycling.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49I think I would have been...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Because you crouch on the bike
0:07:51 > 0:07:53and you bind your feet in and then you set.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Oh, God, is it that?- No, it's not.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56THEY LAUGH
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Rugby union, well done.- Thank you.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Back to you, Pam.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04The legendary footballer Eusebio spent the majority
0:08:04 > 0:08:08of his professional career playing for which club?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I hate football.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18But I will make a good go at this.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Erm, I don't think it was Manchester United.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I don't think it was Real Madrid.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I think it might have been Benfica.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29It is Benfica, well done.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Ah!- Really well done.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Lisa.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Which of these is a golfing term
0:08:35 > 0:08:38for a ball that has been buried in a bunker?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45It's not one I've ever heard.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49You say buried in a bunker?
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Erm, maybe that would be a poached egg if it's sort of underneath,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57like the yolk of a poached egg is underneath the white.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I could be over thinking this in culinary terms.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Fried sounds really stupid.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07I don't know.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I don't know. There's no way I could scramble to this one, I don't think.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Erm, I'll try scrambled egg on the basis it was my first instinct.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Oh, dear.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Oh, dear.- Did I get there on logic and it's a poached egg?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Well, think about what it looks like when it goes in the bunker.- I did!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28No, it's not a poached egg, it's a fried egg.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30It doesn't look like that either.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Yeah, but the bunker is the white and then the yolk is the ball.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35But the ball is white, as a rule, as well.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38All right. Clearly they're in crisis, Pam.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- This could spread throughout the whole team.- It could.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43So, Pam, get this right, you're in the final.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Which of these West Indian fast bowlers ended his career
0:09:47 > 0:09:50with the most test wickets?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Ooh.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Now, this is going to be a complete guess.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I'm going to go with Michael Holding.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Barry will know.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Malcolm Marshall. - Malcolm Marshall is the answer.- Oh!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So, you've given Lisa a way back in here
0:10:14 > 0:10:17with her scrambled eggs.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21In which country was the British tennis player Aljaz Bedene born?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Just when you think everything's lost,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30a tennis question comes along to make it all better.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Erm, Aljaz Bedene, I think was a Slovenian before he was British.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Slovenia is the right answer.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40So, Sudden Death again. Oh, Pam.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Here we go.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Which US-born multiple division world champion boxer
0:10:46 > 0:10:50was granted Russian citizenship in 2015?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54I hate to say this but I have not got a clue,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- so I think I'm going to have to pass.- It's a hard question.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Anyone know?- Roy Jones Jr.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Roy Jones Jr is the answer.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04OK, Sudden Death. Lisa.
0:11:05 > 0:11:11The Estadio Vicente Calderon is the traditional home ground
0:11:11 > 0:11:13of which football club?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14I don't know.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I'm kind of thinking my way through the Spanish clubs
0:11:17 > 0:11:20that it might be but I don't even know for sure it's a Spanish club.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Erm, is it Atletico Madrid, Jeremy?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Atletico Madrid is the right answer. Well done.- Oof!
0:11:27 > 0:11:30New stadium being constructed apparently for 2017
0:11:30 > 0:11:32but, yes, you are bang on.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Sorry, Pam.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Sudden Death can end suddenly.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Come back to us, please, both of you and rejoin your teams.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42So as it stands, the Stitchers have got
0:11:42 > 0:11:44a little bit of trouble here, haven't we?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47But now is the moment to just turn on the turbo boosters.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49OK, you've lost two.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53The Eggheads have not lost any and the next subject is Science.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- With £10,000 to win.- Oh!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I can't do science. That was going to be me!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- I'll go.- Do you want to go? - I will be brave.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Unless you want to send me, it's you.- No, no, no!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- You're our secret weapon. I will be brave.- It's such a good secret!
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- Yes, I'm going to be brave. - OK, Wendy. Against whom?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- I'm going to go for CJ.- OK.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- So, whatever the next subject is, it's mine?- Yeah!
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Let's see how we go. Wendy from the Stitchers, CJ from the Eggheads.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24please take your positions.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Wendy, you're a part-time university lecturer so just to check,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- is it science you lecture in? - Unfortunately not, no.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I help nurses understand what it's like to live with
0:12:34 > 0:12:35someone with dementia.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- All right.- So no, not science related, really.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- But there's medical science there, for sure.- True, true.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- So, you never know.- Fingers crossed. - It's a very wide topic, this.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48You may be lucky. Let's see.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Wendy, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51I'd like to go first, please.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57OK, Wendy. Science. Your first question.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02What is the name of a process whereby a blood clot is formed?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07THEY LAUGH
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Well, I like the idea of it being constipation but I know it's not.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Thankfully, I do know the answer to this question and it is coagulation.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It is indeed coagulation, of course.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22CJ, which of these apex predators
0:13:22 > 0:13:26will typically have several rows of replaceable teeth?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32As far as I'm aware,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35both tiger and grizzly bear only have one row of teeth.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38But I think famously with several rows
0:13:38 > 0:13:40and they are replaceable is the great white shark.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Great white shark is correct.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46And apex predators, for anyone confused?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Top of the food chain. - Nobody eats them.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51OK, Wendy.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55What term is used to refer to a computer of which a hacker
0:13:55 > 0:13:58has gained control without the knowledge of the user?
0:14:02 > 0:14:03OK.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Well, I'm not thinking werewolf for this because they're just
0:14:06 > 0:14:10people who turn to wolves at the sign of a full moon.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I'm reminded of the Christopher Lee vampire movies.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16He actually bit the girls and they didn't realise they were
0:14:16 > 0:14:19under his control, so I'm actually going to go with vampire.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21That's my answer, please.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Yeah, I see where you've gone but, of course,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26vampire is sort of the dominant role and this computer
0:14:26 > 0:14:31is on the receiving end of something unpleasant and so, it's zombie.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Ah.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Right, CJ.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39What name is given to the crustacean Birgus latro,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41also known as the coconut crab?
0:14:46 > 0:14:50This is one of those that if I've heard of it, it's the right answer.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54So, it's not mugger crab.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58The problem is there are, I'm sure, robber and burglary
0:14:58 > 0:15:00used for other creatures
0:15:00 > 0:15:02and I can't quite remember which ones are the crab.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Robber crab, burglar crab...
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Not sure but I'll go with my first instinct which was robber crab.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Yeah, it's the largest land-living arthropod in the world
0:15:14 > 0:15:16and it is the robber crab, well done.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18CJ is ahead.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Which means, Wendy, you need this answer.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Ernest O Lawrence was the first scientist to develop
0:15:24 > 0:15:29which type of particle accelerator in the 1930s?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36So, the 1930s.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40I'm thinking we haven't really got micros in that age
0:15:40 > 0:15:44because that's, gosh, an awfully long time ago.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Based on nothing other than the fact that old videotapes
0:15:47 > 0:15:51were known as beta tapes, I'm going to go with betatron.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Let's see if the Eggheads know. Is it right?- Cyclotron.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57OK, cyclotron, Wendy, sorry, is the answer.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59So, you've been knocked out by CJ, I'm afraid.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Please come back to us, we'll play the next round.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Now, Janet, we're in trouble here, slightly. You've lost three brains.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10They are still sitting pretty with none lost.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13And the last subject before the final is Film & TV.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Oh, my God!
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Is this good for Sylvie? - No, not really, but anyway.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22- You don't want to take it, Janet? - No, no, it's a bit of a...
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- It's me.- Are you sure, Sylvie? You want to go for it?- Yeah.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Sylvie, Pat or Barry? - Oh, I don't, I think I'll have Pat.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30He's looking away. OK, you've got it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Sylvie from the Stitchers versus Pat,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34known as the Silent Destroyer...
0:16:34 > 0:16:37THEY LAUGH
0:16:37 > 0:16:40..from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45So, Sylvie, good luck in this round. I know it wasn't quite your choice.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Come on, you can do this, Sylvie.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58What do two teams compete to buy and sell at a profit
0:16:58 > 0:17:02in the daytime TV series Bargain Hunt?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Well, that's one of my favourite programmes.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I sit and eat my lunch while I watch that programme and that's antiques.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Yeah, absolutely, antiques, well done.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19OK, Pat, your question.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23What is the title of the 2015 film starring Carey Mulligan
0:17:23 > 0:17:27with the tag line "Mothers, daughters, rebels"?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I think that the history-based drama Suffragette, I think.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40People like Meryl Streep made brief appearances.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42So, it's suffragette.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Suffragette is correct.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Over to you, Sylvie.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51In which 2015 film does Saoirse Ronan play a young Irishwoman
0:17:51 > 0:17:54who emigrates to 1950s New York?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I only went to see this film last week, Jeremy. It's called Brooklyn.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- Yay, how about that? Well done. - Yeah.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Two out of two, no sweat.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Pat, to catch up.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Who played the role of Little Bill Daggett
0:18:12 > 0:18:14in the 1992 film Unforgiven?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Oh! Dear me.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25All three were in the film.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I think I'll go for Richard Harris. I may well be wrong.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32You are wrong, it's Gene Hackman.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35OK, Sylvie, get this right, you're in the final.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40In the Hunger Games series of films, what is the name of the area
0:18:40 > 0:18:43where Jennifer Lawrence's character grew up?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Well, I've never seen this so I haven't got a clue.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I'm going to go for Area 9.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Challengers, is she right?- No.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Sadly, no.- What do you think?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05We think District 12, they're all called districts.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07District 12 it is.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08So, Pat has a chance to come back.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12At which university do Sheldon and Leonard work
0:19:12 > 0:19:14in the US show The Big Bang Theory?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I think they live in sunny Pasadena
0:19:22 > 0:19:25and they work at Caltech.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Caltech is right.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29So, two out of three for you both.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Sudden Death we go to, Sylvie.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Here's your first question, gets a bit harder,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I don't give you alternatives.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37In which 1949 film does Alec Guinness
0:19:37 > 0:19:41play eight different members of the D'Ascoyne family?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Would it be Arsenic And Old Lace?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48No, it's Kind Hearts And Coronets.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49- Oh!- Right, sorry.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51No, no, you were close.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Pat, for the round, which 1953 film
0:19:56 > 0:20:00starred John Gregson and Dinah Sheridan
0:20:00 > 0:20:04and Kenneth More and Kay Kendall as competing couples?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Competing couples, that could be the London Brighton Vintage Car Race.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11'53.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I'm thinking of Genevieve, which is certainly,
0:20:14 > 0:20:15'50s is about right for Genevieve.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I don't think you'd be likely to get couples
0:20:19 > 0:20:22competing in too many different things, I'll go for Genevieve.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Genevieve is the right answer, Pat.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Well done, you've won on Sudden Death.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Sorry, Sylvie. That was close,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31you were an answer away there from knocking him out.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35So, you have yourself been knocked out, Pat has not been.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38And if you both return to your teams, we will play the final round.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41This is what we have been playing towards,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43it is time for the final round,
0:20:43 > 0:20:44which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:47 > 0:20:49won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54So, Hilary, Wendy, Sylvie and Pam from Stitchers,
0:20:54 > 0:20:55would you please leave the studio?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Janet, was this part of the plan?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Not my plan. - HE LAUGHS
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- But I know they were saving you. - Yes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Well, I hope I do them justice but I'm nervous.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Well, don't worry, you're playing to win the Stitchers £10,000.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Dave, Lisa, Pat, CJ, Barry,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17you're playing for something that money really can't buy,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20which is the Eggheads' reputation and to continue this roll you're on.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23First it was a streak, now it's a roll.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31You are allowed to confer. Sorry, that doesn't help you.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Janet, the question is can you with your one brain
0:21:34 > 0:21:37have a famous victory today over these five?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45And here is your first question.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49What name is normally given to the practice of purchasing
0:21:49 > 0:21:52a property specifically to rent it out?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Buy-to-let.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Oh, straight there. - Yeah, well...- No messing.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Too nervous to hang about. - Buy-to-let is right.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07You take your time, though. Don't snatch at it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Eggheads, all five of you.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14What is the official title of the professional head of the Royal Navy?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Everyone happy with First Sea Lord? - First Sea Lord, yes.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26The head of the Royal Navy is the First Sea Lord.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27It is the First Sea Lord, well done.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Janet, List Of The Lost
0:22:31 > 0:22:36is the title of a 2015 debut novel by which singer?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Right.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I don't know.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50It sounds really miserable.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Which makes me think of Morrissey.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Morrissey is the right answer.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Nicely done.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Your question, Eggs.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04In which country is the municipality of Davos,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07the venue for the annual World Economic Forum?
0:23:11 > 0:23:12- Switzerland.- Switzerland, yes.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15There was a unanimous chorus of Switzerland
0:23:15 > 0:23:17coming from all of us are there, so that's our answer.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Yes, it is, it's Swiss.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Janet, this can be crucial.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Get this one right and I have seen panic wash over them.
0:23:27 > 0:23:34The Metallica musician Kirk Hammett, born in 1962,
0:23:34 > 0:23:38is best known for his expertise on which instrument?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Kirk Hammett.- Kirk Hammett.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Metallica?- Metallica.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Lars Ulrich on drums.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Name beginning with a J on guitar.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57On the lead vocals, anyway.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I've seen Metallica. Enjoyed.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Kirk Hammett.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Guitar.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Guitar's the right answer.- Yeah.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Synthesiser's a very old-fashioned word now.- Right!
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- Well done, you've seen Metallica in concert?- Oh, yes.- How many times?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Only the once. - OK. Well, listen, well played.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Superb and obviously, bringing in Lars Ulrich on drums and all that.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31So, we just need to hope that something very bad happens now.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Here's your question, Eggheads.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Built in the Third Century AD,
0:24:36 > 0:24:41the Aurelian Wall enclosed parts of which city?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44It's a main defensive wall for Rome. Looks like it.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- Yeah, yes, Barry.- Carry on being exciting, Barry, all right.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Wait a minute, let me think again.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Rome, Athens or Byzantium.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00Byzantium had her own defensive wall as well. Let me think.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Aurelian was the Roman emperor
0:25:02 > 0:25:04who was known as the restorer of the world,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08because he brought back order to the Roman Empire in the Third Century.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12He was just after Constantine, so he would have moved,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15so the capital would have moved to Byzantine then.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- So they probably would have wanted a better wall round there then.- OK.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23So, on the basis that Aurelian...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Oh, sorry, let me think, was it before?
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Third Century means the 200s though, doesn't it? Could be.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34If those dates are correct, then Rome's still the main gate.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Yes, so I'm going back to Rome.- OK.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38OK?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Right, well, we were struggling a bit on there,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I'm certainly struggling a bit.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46But I know in the Third Century, Rome was still the Imperial capital,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Byzantine became capital much later.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51So on that basis, we're going to go for Rome.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54You jumped in with Rome before I'd even read the options
0:25:54 > 0:25:58and you are known as the Brain, so I was thinking it's got to be Rome.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00And then suddenly, confusion swept over you
0:26:00 > 0:26:03and you were almost on your own there, Barry.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- You've come back to the right answer.- Well done, Barry.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Rome it is, Rome it is!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10So, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Janet, your question.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18In August 2015, Lamine Diack stepped down as the head of
0:26:18 > 0:26:20which sporting governing body?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24I don't know the name and I don't recall the story because
0:26:24 > 0:26:27there's been so much fuss in the last year
0:26:27 > 0:26:30over the problems in FIFA.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33But I've never heard that name with football.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I'm trying to remember the proper name of the
0:26:41 > 0:26:44athletics governing body,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47because they've also had scandal attached.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51International Athletics Federation.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I can't give you that, it's the IAAF.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01It's the International Association of Athletics Federations.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02I got the right sport.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05You did get the right sport, you were a whisker away
0:27:05 > 0:27:07but I can't give it to you, I'm sorry.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11This is for the contest.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15On which country did the Turkish Ottoman Empire
0:27:15 > 0:27:19declare war on 4th October 1853?
0:27:20 > 0:27:25- The start of the Crimean War?- So, it must be.- 1853. Russia, Russia.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28The Turks and the Russians had a big naval battle at Sinope,
0:27:28 > 0:27:33- the Turkish coast around that time, so it's got to be Russia.- Russia.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34- Are we all happy with the Russia? - Yes.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Oh, I know the Turks and the Russians had quite a major battle,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43sea battle at Sinope around that time.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45So, we believe the answer is Russia.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50The answer is, it was the start of the Crimean War and is Russia
0:27:50 > 0:27:53and we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Sorry that I have to get the right answer on the athletics,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- I feel terrible.- I knew Russia.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05And I could have given you IAAF as well, actually,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08but not just the three out of the four words.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I'm sure you knew Russia. You're a quizzer, we can tell.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Commiserations to our Stitchers.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Struggled a bit there. Didn't you?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19You had to think it through, my goodness.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22It does mean you won't be going home with the £10,000,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Eggheads, well done.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Can't see you being beaten for a while, I must say.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32You join us next time to see if the next team of Challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:35have the brains to pull it off and take them down.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38£11,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
