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
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Challengers against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34- Poised.- Yes.- Definitely.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36And challenging our resident quiz champions
0:00:36 > 0:00:38today are The Heart Throbs.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now, this team from Leeds all work in the cardiology
0:00:41 > 0:00:44department of the Yorkshire Heart Centre.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Captain, Paul, sets an annual charity quiz, which the
0:00:47 > 0:00:50rest of the team take part in as rivals. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, my name is Paul. I'm a clerical officer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Alec. I'm a retired cardiac physiologist.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, my name's Jim, and I'm a cardiac physiologist.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Tony. I'm a hospital porter.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Donald. And I'm a staff nurse on the acute stroke unit.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- Paul and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you, Jeremy.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- It's all about the human heart, right?- Yes, it is.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- That's what's brought you together. - It is, yeah.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15We all work together, or have worked together,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18at the Yorkshire Heart Centre in Leeds.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Which must be an amazing place to be.- It is.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Seeing people go in, maybe not expecting to live,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and then coming out quite OK.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Fit as a fiddle.- Incredible. So, what's it like to work there?
0:01:29 > 0:01:30It's great meeting people.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Working with my colleagues here, and they're very supportive.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36And, crucially, there's a little bit of quizzing.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38There is a little bit quizzing.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I'm a trustee of the charity at the hospital.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I run a quiz, and these people always support it.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Take Heart is the charity, and they're very supportive.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Well, good luck to you, Heart Throbs.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:51 > 0:01:53up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58the prize money rolls over onto the next show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01So, Heart Throbs, the Eggheads have won the last ten, so you've
0:02:01 > 0:02:05got to stop them. And it means £11,000 is here for you to win.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Would you like to give it a go? - We would, certainly.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Great stuff. The first head-to-head battle
0:02:10 > 0:02:11is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Who would like this?- Right, I think I said Geography, didn't I?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Yeah, sure.- Shall I go for Geography, then? Everyone agreed?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Jim's going to take it.- OK, Jim.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Tell us which Egghead, any one of the five.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Do you think Lisa we should go for? Yeah, OK, Lisa, I think
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- we'll go for first.- How funny.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29People are getting a bit of a measure of you on Geography, Lisa.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Jim from The Heart Throbs versus our own heart-throb of The Eggheads...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Too kind.- ..dear Lisa, and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38please go to the legendary Question Room.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Jim, you're a cardiac physiologist. - I certainly am, yes.- Meaning what?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Meaning, basically,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49we perform diagnostic tests to aid the cardiologists, who
0:02:49 > 0:02:53are the trained doctors, to diagnose any heart problems, basically.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56So you can find what the heart is doing without sticking
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- a camera in me?- Yeah, absolutely. Sometimes we do stick a camera in,
0:02:59 > 0:03:03but most of the time we try to keep the camera on the outside.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Something called transthoracic echocardiology, which is something
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I specialise in as well. That's a camera on the outside of the chest.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- So it's an actual camera, is it? - Sorry, not camera, sorry.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- It's ultrasound that we use from the outside.- Suction pads, yeah.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- And you can tell a lot about the heart, can you?- Absolutely, yeah.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22We get a black-and-white 2D image of the heart, basically,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24lots of moving images of the heart
0:03:24 > 0:03:27so we can have a look at the valves and the contractility
0:03:27 > 0:03:30and the size of the heart. So there's lots of information there.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33And how do you know if your valves are flared up?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35What's the first sign?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, the first sign is they're not moving as well as they should do.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40They might be quite stiff or quite leaky,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43so you'll see we use something called colour Doppler
0:03:43 > 0:03:45on there as well, which tells us
0:03:45 > 0:03:48if the blood is leaking back through the valve as well.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50So we can see quite clearly
0:03:50 > 0:03:52if the valves aren't moving or aren't as mobile as they should be.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54This is fascinating, Lisa, isn't it?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57It's very reassuring, as far as I'm concerned, given that
0:03:57 > 0:03:58if I ever do have a heart problem,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I daresay I'll end up in Leeds General Infirmary.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Yes, you will. And the fact that they can now see what the
0:04:03 > 0:04:05heart is doing without going inside?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- It's pretty cool, isn't it? - Very cool.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11OK. On Geography, Jim. Would you like to go first or second?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19OK, good luck to you, here we go.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Which of these is located in Giza?
0:04:27 > 0:04:33Right, OK. So, I believe Uluru is Ayers Rock in Australia.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I think the Colosseum, I think I'll rule that one out too,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38so let's go for the Great Sphinx.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Yeah, Great Sphinx is correct, well done.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- So, Uluru's Australia, Eggs, is it? - Yeah, Ayers Rock.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- And Colosseum is Rome?- Yep.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Lisa, your question.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50What is the Ebro in Spain?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Ebro?- E-B-R-O.- Thank you.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Well, first thought was river.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02We'll go with that. River.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04You haven't ever flown on Ebro Airways?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Oh, please don't do this to me, Jeremy.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- No, it's river. You're fine. - Thank you.- You're off the hook.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12OK, just like to get her heart beating.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- That's our way of testing the heart here, Jim.- It's effective.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Yeah, it works well. So, your question.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23The island of Martinique is part of which island group?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Right, OK, so Martinique.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36It's not the Balearic, that's European.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Windward, I'm thinking is kind of the right type of area.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Nicobar, I'm not too sure on.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Let's go for the Windward Islands.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yes, Windward is correct.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Well done.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Lisa.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55The flag of which of these countries features a picture of a dragon?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Well, Egypt is a straightforward arrangement of stripes and...
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Is there a triangle in there as well? Can't remember.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Japan is just a great big dot.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11And, yes, I think it's Bhutan has the attractive dragon on it.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- It does. Bhutan. Have you been there, Lisa?- No, sadly not.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Apparently one of the happiest countries in the world.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Apparently, I already live in one of the best
0:06:20 > 0:06:21cities in the UK, you know.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Why go anywhere else? - I didn't know you'd moved to London.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26EGGHEADS CHUCKLE
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Jim, your question.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31The Sargasso Sea takes its name from a type of what?
0:06:34 > 0:06:41Right, OK, Sargasso. I'm trying to logically work through here.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I don't think it'd be jellyfish.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I think it would be... Sargasso, let's go for seaweed.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Yeah, well done, seaweed it is. You're a good quizzer.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Sargasso Sea's a fascinating place.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59It's the only sea in the world that has no coastline, but it's
0:06:59 > 0:07:04suspected to be, although we don't know this, where eels go to mate.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- And where is it, roughly? - It's in the North Atlantic.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08OK, Lisa.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Which city in Italy's Puglia region is nicknamed
0:07:12 > 0:07:13the Florence of the South?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I have no idea.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I wouldn't even know if all of those three were in the south.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I wouldn't know how many of them are in Puglia. And I certainly couldn't
0:07:26 > 0:07:29tell you the actual answer to the question, off the top of my head.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34So that's a good start, isn't it? Right. Let's see.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Erm... What do I know about any of those?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Balsamic vinegar from Modena. Erm...
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I've no idea. Straight fight, one in three guess, I'll hold my hands up.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Modena.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- Well, La Spezia and Modena are in the north.- Ah, course they are, see?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57So, Lecce it is.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- So, Jim, well done.- Thank you.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- You're in the final round.- Great. - There we are. Sorry, Lisa.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- No, happens all the time.- Gosh, geography's becoming problematic.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08It's always been problematic, Jeremy,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10it's just sometimes it's more problematic than other times.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15OK, well, Jim, you're in the final. Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Well done, Heart Throbs. First blood to you.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20You've not lost a brain from the final round.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23The Eggheads have lost a brain. Sorry, Lisa.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Who wants this?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- I did say Arts & Books. - Do you want to give it a go?- Yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32OK, yeah.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- I'll take it.- Donald will do it. - OK, Donald, against which Egghead?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Can't be Lisa.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Don't think Dave... - Take Dave?- Dave as well?- Yeah, OK.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43- Dave.- All right.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46So, Donald from Heart Throbs versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave
0:08:46 > 0:08:48from the Eggheads on Arts & Books.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56So, Donald, Arts & Books. Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I'll go first. It paid off last time, so, yeah, first, please.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06OK. Here is your question.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10How many people are represented in Gustav Klimt's painting The Kiss?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Er, well, it seems a fairly obvious answer. I'm hoping it is two.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24I have seen The Kiss. I think it's in Vienna, isn't it? So, yeah, two.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Two is correct. With lovely gold leaf, isn't it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Yeah, it's a lovely painting.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Yeah, beautiful. Two is right, well done.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36Dave. Which of these novelists died in September 2015?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Right. Erm...
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Well, one that I can remember dying in 2015, September 2015,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48is, er, Jackie Collins.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Jackie Collins is the right answer.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Over to you, Donald.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58The twins Dromio of Ephesus and Dromio of Syracuse
0:09:58 > 0:10:01are characters in which Shakespeare play?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Right, I don't know this. I'll be honest.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I'm going to rule out Macbeth.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I'm going to go for Comedy of Errors.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17You've got it right.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Well done. Playing very well.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22In fact, your team, you haven't got an answer wrong yet.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Dave.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Which English author, who died in 1977,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31was best known for his occult thrillers
0:10:31 > 0:10:33such as The Devil Rides Out?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Thought James Herbert was more science-fiction, like Dune.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I think it's late for Somerset Maugham.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I think it's Dennis Wheatley.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48It is Dennis Wheatley. Well done, Dave.
0:10:48 > 0:10:512-2. Very tight.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Third question to our Challenger.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Which French writer, whose novels are often set
0:10:56 > 0:10:58during the Nazi occupation of France
0:10:58 > 0:11:03was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'm not too sure about this either.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18I will probably go for Claude Simon. Si-mon.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Any knowledge on this one, Dave?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Patrick Modiano.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yeah. Claude Simon is wrong.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Patrick Modiano, it is, Donald, sorry.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29So, a chance for Dave.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Maud And Other Poems is an 1855 collection
0:11:35 > 0:11:38by which Poet Laureate, Dave?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Maud And Other Poems? - Yeah, Maud And Other Poems.- Right.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49We'll eliminate Robert Southey.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I'm going to eliminate William Wordsworth
0:11:52 > 0:11:54and go for Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who wrote Maud, yes, and the other poems
0:11:57 > 0:11:58is the right answer, Dave.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01You're knocked out, Donald. Sorry, Donald.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- It's OK.- That last question, isn't it?- It was, yeah.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Come back to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09- Dave, James Herbert came up.- Yeah.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12And we said science-fiction but I think that's Frank.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- OK, yes. Yes, it is, yeah. - James did The Rats.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Right, yeah.- And all that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19So, The Heart Throbs have lost a brain now.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Eggheads have lost brain too. Exciting.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23The next subject is Film & TV.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Who would like this?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26I'm not really good on modern
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- film and TV. It always seems to be... I'll take it, though.- Pardon?
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- I think we keep you just in case. - Who?- Keep Alec.- Yeah.- OK, you.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Do you want to give it a go? - I'll give it a go.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- I'm not good on modern film and TV, but, you know.- Give it a go.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- Yeah, give it a go.- OK.- Me, Jeremy. - All right, good stuff.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Against which Egghead, Tony? - Ooh...- Can't be Dave or Lisa.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I'll take Pat.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52OK, Tony from The Heart Throbs against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Sound good?- Sounds good.- All right.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Did I detect you were a bit reluctant to do Film & TV, Tony?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Yep.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Have you seen any good films recently?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09No, modern films are not my bag, but...
0:13:09 > 0:13:12..the...the others are probably better
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- at the subjects that might be coming up, so...- Understood.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16So, Film & TV, Tony.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Do you want to go first second? - I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25OK. And here is your first question.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31The Tom Hanks film Bridge Of Spies is set during which period?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Right, Bridge Of Spies.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Well...I'll rule out Iraq War...
0:13:42 > 0:13:45..mainly. And World War II,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I've not seen Tom Hanks in many of them.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51So... And Cold War just says spies. So I'll go Cold War.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Funnily enough, I was looking at these...
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I was drifting towards World War II cos of Saving Private Ryan,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58so I had that association. But I would've been wrong.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Cold War is right. Well done.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03OK, Pat, your question.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Jennifer Lawrence has appeared in how many Hunger Games films?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I think there was a straightforward first instalment...
0:14:16 > 0:14:17linked to a first book.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20A second instalment which linked to a second book.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23And I think the third Hunger Games book,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26which is...Mockingbird,
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I think they decided to split into two feature films.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32So unless I've mislaid several instalments,
0:14:32 > 0:14:33that should be four.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Four is the right answer. Well done.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Tony.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Which of these detective shows broadcast
0:14:40 > 0:14:45what was reported to be its final episode in November 2015?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Right. Must be a long series for its last episode.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Death In Paradise doesn't seem to have gone that long.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Midsomer Murders seems to be still going.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So I'll go Lewis.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Lewis is correct.- Ah. - Good play, Tony.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Pat.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14Dara O Briain became the host of which of these comedy shows in 2005?
0:15:19 > 0:15:24Pretty sure he's the genial host of Mock The Week.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Mock The Week is correct.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29So you're both playing well. You've got two points each.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Now, don't come unstuck on the third question, Tony.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Which of these Pixar films took the most money
0:15:35 > 0:15:37at the international box office?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Well...I'm not really good on these Pixar films.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It would have to be a guess.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Car...Cars, no. Finding...
0:15:49 > 0:15:50I think it might be Up.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Yeah, I thought maybe Up, but it's not.- Ooh.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Finding Nemo...- Oh.- ..is the answer.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01So, Pat, you also have a chance
0:16:01 > 0:16:03now on the first question.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Who was Ross' first wife in the TV comedy series Friends?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14I don't think it's the Rachel of the Friends sextet.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I think I've seen an episode where a person from his past
0:16:18 > 0:16:22who's not Rachel has appeared...with a child.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24So that rules Rachel out.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Carol or Emily.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I really don't know. I'll have a guess at Emily.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Eggheads?- Carol.- Carol.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Cos Emily was Helen Baxendale.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Yeah, Emily was Helen Baxendale.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42So Sudden Death, we go to, Tony, OK?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Cos it's equal after three. Gets a bit harder now.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I don't give you alternatives.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Here's your question.
0:16:48 > 0:16:55Who narrated the BBC's 2015 natural history TV series The Hunt?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Well...I'm not good on this,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00but I'm going to say the obvious.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03David Attenborough.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05David Attenborough is correct. Well done.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06It was a great one too.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Pat, which British film-maker directed
0:17:11 > 0:17:14the films Slumdog Millionaire and Steve Jobs?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18I think Slumdog Millionaire is Danny Boyle.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I think he's good for Steve Jobs as well.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Danny Boyle.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Danny Boyle is correct.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Tony, Arthur Stanley Jefferson was the real name of which comedian,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32one half of a famous double act?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Right, yes, erm...
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Stan Laurel.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Stan Laurel is correct.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Pat, your question to stay in.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Che Chesterman found fame on which
0:17:47 > 0:17:51TV show in 2015?
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Oh, dear.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Could be almost anything, really.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Could be The Pottery Throw Down,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58could be a baking programme.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Pop Idol, American Idol, X Factor. Deary me.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I haven't heard of him so I've got a major problem here.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Let's have a pop at The Great Pottery Throw Down.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14THEY LAUGH
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Do you know, Eggheads?- X Factor. - X Factor, Pat.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20X Factor. Didn't know about him.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You've been knocked out. Well done, Tony.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26You're in the final. Good work.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Come back to us, gentlemen.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29We'll play the last round before the final.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33A bit of superiority for The Heart Throbs.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35They've lost a brain, the Eggheads have lost two.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38And their knees are starting to knock.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40So, it's Sport now for you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Who would like this? - I guess that's me.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45OK. Paul. Against which Egghead?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- I'll take CJ, please.- Fine.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51You sounded completely certain about that.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53So Paul from The Heart Throbs against CJ from the Eggheads.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Our own heart-throb.- Indeed.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02So, Paul, Sport. Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'd like to go first, please.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09And here is your question.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12How many Championship grass courts are there
0:19:12 > 0:19:14at the Wimbledon tennis tournament?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Well, I think I can rule out five right away.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I know they...go up to around 26,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25so I'm going to say 19.
0:19:25 > 0:19:2719 is correct. Well done.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31CJ.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Which of these sports featured at the 2012 Olympic Games?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Ah.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I mean, water polo is an Olympic sport.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46But it's not rugby sevens.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48That wasn't there, I don't think.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55My only concern is, was golf allowed in as a demonstration sport?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00But I've got to go for water polo.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Water polo is the correct answer.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Paul.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Which of these footballers was predominantly left-footed?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I do know this one. John Barnes was a left winger,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17played for Liverpool for most of his career.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'm going to say John Barnes.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well done, Paul. It is John Barnes.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Two out of two. Nice play.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25CJ.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30The English cricketer Moeen Ali is what kind of bowler?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Well, I knew he was a bowler and that's about as far as it went.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43My immediate instinct is that he's a spin bowler.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Obviously, I've got very, very little interest in cricket,
0:20:46 > 0:20:47or, indeed, most sports.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I don't think he's seam.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I don't know, but I'll try spin.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Spin is correct.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58OK, Paul,
0:20:58 > 0:21:00your third question. Going to be crucial here.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Who was named World Rugby Player of the Year
0:21:03 > 0:21:08in 2005, 2012 and 2015?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Rugby is not one of my subjects, unfortunately.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I'll have a little think about it.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25The only name I've heard of is Richie McCaw.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So, hopefully, seen as that's the one that sticks in mind,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I will say Richie McCaw.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34OK. Anyone on your team know?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- ALL:- Dan Carter. - They all say Dan Carter.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- So, Paul, it's Dan Carter, I'm afraid.- OK.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41We're doing that two-out-of-three thing, aren't we?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Let's see whether it costs you now.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46CJ's third question.
0:21:46 > 0:21:52Which boxer, CJ, born in Ohio in 1961
0:21:52 > 0:21:57is nicknamed Boom Boom for his all-action fighting style?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Well, I've not heard of Boom Boom.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08But...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13..isn't it Thomas 'The Hitman' Hearns?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16And Marvin...
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Is it Marvellous Marvin Hagler? Something like that?
0:22:20 > 0:22:21So I think, as I know a little bit
0:22:21 > 0:22:24about Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I've never heard of Boom Boom or Ray Mancini.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- That's who I'll try. I'll try Ray Mancini.- OK.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Well, I'm going to got Dave on this cos he loves his boxing.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36CJ is totally correct in everything that he says.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- So Hitman Hearns and Marvellous Marvin?- Yep.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41And Boom Boom Mancini. How about that?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I mean, the letter, the alliteration isn't really there.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50But it gives you the round, CJ. Three out of three.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- I'm sorry, Paul, two out of three has seen you knocked out.- OK.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57But if you come back to us, we'll see what happens in the final round.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03It is time for the final round. As always, General Knowledge.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:06 > 0:23:08won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11So, Paul and Donald from The Heart Throbs,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13but also Lisa and Pat from the Eggheads,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19So Alec, Jim and Tony,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22you are playing to win The Heart Throbs £11,000.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Kevin, Dave and CJ, you're playing for something
0:23:25 > 0:23:28which I think that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34This time the questions are all General Knowledge
0:23:34 > 0:23:36and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38So, Heart Throbs, the question is,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42are your three brains able to defeat these three over here?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44And would you like to go first and second?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53OK. Alec and team, good luck.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Armistice Day, which marks the end of the First World War,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00is commemorated on what date in the UK?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- Well, it's going to be the 11th. - Yeah.- The 11th?- Yeah, definitely.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- It's St George's day and then... - Are you happy with the 11th?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Yes, yeah.- 11th of November, Jeremy.
0:24:15 > 0:24:1711th of November is quite right.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Of course. Eggheads.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23In cooking, steak au poivre is the French for what?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27I think we like pepper steak for that.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Poivre is pepper. - Yeah, pepper steak.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Yeah. Well, poivre refers to pepper, so it's pepper steak.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Pepper steak is correct.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38One each. Back to you, Challengers. £11,000
0:24:38 > 0:24:40we're playing for.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44In Greek mythology, who was the father of Helen of Troy?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Helen of Troy...
0:24:52 > 0:24:56I think it's Theseus, cos Poseidon is the God of the Sea.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- Zeus is the...- Poseidon was the
0:24:59 > 0:25:01God of the Sea.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Would he be Helen of Troy's dad?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Theseus sounds like the answer to me.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Go for Theseus?- Yeah. - Yeah. I think that's a good one.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11We'll go for Theseus as the non-god.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I see, so Theseus is not a god and therefore was the father?
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Eggheads, are they right?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17No, it was Zeus.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Zeus was the father of Helen of Troy.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Zeus.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22But from that particular
0:25:22 > 0:25:24liaison... It was a strange one,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26but, then, they often were in Greek mythology.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28There were four offspring,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32two of whom were mortal and two were immortal, so...
0:25:32 > 0:25:34The liaison was between Zeus and...?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Leda, I think.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- Leda?- Leda. Yeah, I think so. - Right. Your question.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43"It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
0:25:43 > 0:25:46"Sunshine, she's here, you can take a break..."
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- Happy.- ..are the opening lyrics to which Pharrell Williams song?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- It's Happy.- OK. Happy, then?- Yeah.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58That is Happy.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Happy is the answer.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03So they are in the lead.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06£11,000, we're playing for. Really want you to win.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08He said, impartially.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11You need to get this right, or it's over.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15In which year did Swansea officially become a city?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- I think it's quite recently.- 1969.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I think 1969 they changed their name...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27From Swansea Town to Swansea City, didn't they?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29That was in, like, the late '60s.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- That's good reasoning.- 1969. - It's as good as we've got, yeah.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34We're going for 1969.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36That's when they changed...
0:26:36 > 0:26:38The football team was Swansea Town.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40They changed their name to Swansea City...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- I think, '69.- OK.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Let's check with the Eggheads.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45- Are they right?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Yes, you're right. '69.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Well done.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50However, a wrong answer
0:26:50 > 0:26:54earlier on Zeus allows the Eggheads to take the contest,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56if you get this one right - big if.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01The National League for Democracy won a landslide election victory
0:27:01 > 0:27:04in which country in November 2015?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Myanmar for that? - Myanmar, definitely, yeah.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12National League for Democracy
0:27:12 > 0:27:15is the party that's led by Aung San Suu Kyi,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17and that is in Myanmar.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Formerly Burma.- Yeah.- Are you right?
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Do you think they're right?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Y...eah.- They seem pretty sure.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26They did seem pretty sure,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28and that's always a bad sign.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30The answer is Myanmar.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32We say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:32 > 0:27:33you have won.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Well played. Well played.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43And it is creditable to get them to three against three, isn't it?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45It doesn't happen that often, so well done.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Hope you enjoyed it. - Yeah, thanks very much.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Commiserations to The Heart Throbs.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54but the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57and this winning streak continues. My goodness.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £11,000.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02So we will take that whole pile of money
0:28:02 > 0:28:04and roll it over to the next show.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Eggheads, congratulations.
