0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20..can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads, with sore heads today, I think.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Mmm.- Just a little.- Yeah?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38OK. We'll find out why in just a tick.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads
0:00:40 > 0:00:43are the Roebuckaneers from Staffordshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Now, this team all know one another from the Roebuck pub in Hilderstone.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Darrell is the landlord and Richard is the chef who cooks the pie
0:00:50 > 0:00:53that the others compete for in the pub's weekly quiz.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Darrell and I'm the pub landlord.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Peter. I'm a clinical coder.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Fay, I'm a locality co-ordinator.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Sean and I work in children's services.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I'm Richard, I'm the pub chef.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- So, Darrell and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15So, Richard cooks the pie and then the quiz winners eat it.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17That's... Yes, if they claim it.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- If the claim it?- Yes, not all of them claim it.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- What? You mean sometimes people win and they say, "We don't want the pie."- Yes.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Oh, gosh.- That's not a comment on Richard...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- That's not a comment on the food.- No!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Why would anyone turn down your pie, Richard?
0:01:29 > 0:01:30I wouldn't... I've no idea.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32It's a really nice pie but, erm...
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- It's a lovely pie?- Sometimes you can only take so much pie.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Understood. So, the pies are good at the pub and the quiz is good.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Yes.- Hope you have a great game against the Eggheads.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Now, my reference to a headache is, Roebuckaneers,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54that the challengers actually beat them in the last game.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58They were a group of crime writers and there were four or five bodies on the library floor
0:01:58 > 0:02:00by the time they'd finished with the Eggheads,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02which proves it can be done.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05So you've got £1,000 today on the table to win.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Would you like to crack on?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Yes.- Absolutely, yes.- Good stuff.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Food & Drink.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Hey! That's perfect, isn't it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- It is.- Yeah.- Hopefully so. - Yup.- Hopefully so.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I'm guessing it's you, Richard, but I don't know.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Yes, I'll take that one.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22OK, the chef against which Egghead?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You've got to take Kevin, really.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- It's his only weak subject. - Yeah, Kevin, I think.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Richard from the Roebuckaneers, the chef,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31versus Kevin who doesn't cook much from the Eggheads.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- At all.- Or at all.- No. - Thank you for that correction.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Richard, tell us about your pies.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45They're proper pie with a top and a bottom, er...
0:02:45 > 0:02:48multiples of fillings and, er, lashings of gravy.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Right, we're heading down there.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Please do, you're more than welcome.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I know it's a stressful job being a chef,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57so I hope we've given you a nice... nice day of non-cheffing today.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Lovely day of non-cheffing but equally as nervous.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02And you're on Food & Drink so there's no rest for the wicked here.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- No, no.- So, Richard, would you like to go first and second?
0:03:05 > 0:03:06I'll go first, please.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Here we go with your first question.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13How many different birds, Richard,
0:03:13 > 0:03:17typically form the American roast dish known as a turducken?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22I believe that's three.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Hopefully, it's three.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Well, this question beats me. Now, can you visualise that?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29It's a bird in a bird in a bird, I believe.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Oh, I see. It is three.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Well done.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36That's a bit of a stinker, that.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Turkey, a duck and a chicken. - Oh, I see, a turkey, a duck...
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with chicken.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42I see. Kevin, your question.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Which cookery expert, now perhaps best known as a talent competition
0:03:46 > 0:03:49judge wrote the books Popular Freezer Cookery
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and Popular French Cookery in the 1970s?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Well, I... Fanny Cradock has been dead for, erm...
0:04:00 > 0:04:02for quite some time.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I'm not aware of Delia Smith doing the, erm...
0:04:04 > 0:04:09the sort of judging job but the one who is best known now because of her
0:04:09 > 0:04:12work on the Great British Bake-Off in particular is Mary Berry,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14so I'm assuming it must be her.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Mary Berry is the right answer.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Richard, back to you.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23The herbal tea rooibos, also known as red bush tea, is
0:04:23 > 0:04:26made from the leaves of a plant native to which country?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Red bush tea. I...
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Oh, I... I'm not sure at all on this.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Er, I don't think it's Mexico.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm thinking...
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I'm leaning towards South Africa.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Yeah, South Africa's my answer.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I used to live in South Africa and I had it the whole time.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You're quite right, South Africa.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Well done. Really nice.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Kevin, in the dish Eggs Neptune,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56a variation on Eggs Benedict,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58what replaces the ham?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Well, again I'm not... I don't know the dish, but, again, applying...
0:05:05 > 0:05:07attempting to apply logic to it, anyway,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11if the ham's been taken out and you've got something called Neptune,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13which would seem to refer to...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17..the sea. Er...
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Then I'm...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21..assuming it must be crab meat.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Crab meat is right. OK.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Two each. Back to you, Richard.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Judas's Ear is a type of which foodstuff?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Hmm. Another one I'm not...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35not familiar with. Erm.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Doesn't sound like a cheese to me or a sausage,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42so I'm going to go with mushroom.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Mushroom is quite right.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Well done.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Perfect bit of, erm...
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Perfect bit of quizzing logic there. OK, Kevin, to stay in.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54What kind of beverage is Andean chicha?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56C-H-I-C-H-A.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59I don't know.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Probably, Barry had this when he was in, er...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07When he was in Peru, I expect.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I had a first instinct and I suppose I ought to, erm...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Ought to stick with the first instinct, which is beer.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17OK. Do you know what it is, Barry?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I don't. I would have gone for beer.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21It is beer. Well done.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Three points each. So, you haven't shaken him off, Richard.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26We go to Sudden Death.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34The potato variety called King Edward was originally developed in which country?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38I'm not sure but I think it might be Holland.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It's actually... The answer is more obvious than that.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- It's the UK.- Oh!
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Kevin...
0:06:45 > 0:06:49For the round. The abbreviation PDO,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53one of the European Union schemes to protect and promote the names of
0:06:53 > 0:06:56particular foods such as roquefort,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00stands for protected designation of what?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Of...origin.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Origin is right. You've taken the round on Sudden Death.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Sorry, Richard. You've been knocked out there.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Do come back to us, both of you and we'll play on.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15As it stands, the Roebuckaneers have lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18We'll get the pie later, Richard, if you all get knocked out, OK?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- No problem.- The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22We play on, and it's Film & TV.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24So, Darrell, who would like this?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- I think I'll take that. - Yeah, I think Pete's doing that one.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29OK, Pete. Against which Egghead, Pete?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Do you reckon Judith or Chris?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Your choice, mate. Whatever you feel best with.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I think I'll take Judith, please, Jeremy.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37All right, good luck in your round, Peter.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40You're playing Judith, and to ensure there's no conferring
0:07:40 > 0:07:42would you please take your positions?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45All right, Film & TV, Peter.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Here is your question. What is the name of the programme with which
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Nigella Lawson returned to British television at the end of 2015?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Well, I don't really watch cookery programmes.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14The only one of those I recognise is Nigella Bites,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18so that's what I'm going for, Nigella Bites.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Funnily enough, it's not that.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21It's Simply Nigella.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I'm afraid you're wrong. Judith, your question.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28What natural phenomenon causes mayhem
0:08:28 > 0:08:30in the 1997 film Dante's Peak,
0:08:30 > 0:08:34starring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Well, Dante's Peak implies a mountain.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47So, I suppose it could be a volcanic eruption or a snowdrift,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49but I didn't see it so I'm not sure.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Erm... I think I'm going to go for snowdrift.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Ah, well, I think CJ's seen this cos he gave...
0:08:58 > 0:09:01He exhaled in a profoundly pained way.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Two films pretty much came out at the same time,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Dante's Peak and I think Volcano with Tommy Lee Jones
0:09:05 > 0:09:08and they were both similar stories. It's a volcano.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Volcanic eruption is the answer, Judith.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Oh, so could easily have gone for that.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Peter, what is the title of the 2015 film
0:09:15 > 0:09:18written and directed by Angelina Jolie
0:09:18 > 0:09:22and starting herself and her husband Brad Pitt?
0:09:27 > 0:09:32I think Badlands was a film in the '70s.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38A Walk In The Clouds sounds familiar.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43But I've just got a feeling it's By The Sea, so I'll go By The Sea.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Yes, you're completely right, well done. By The Sea.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49So, first point to our challenger.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Judith, which British actor played the part of Norrington
0:09:52 > 0:09:54in the Pirates of the Caribbean films?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I've seen one of those.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03And Norrington. I don't know.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Norrington.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Erm... Bill Nighy.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Eggheads?- Jack Davenport.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Jack Davenport is the answer.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15If you get this one right, Peter, you're in the final.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Which of these scientists did Andy Serkis play in a 2008
0:10:19 > 0:10:21BBC single drama?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Well, I know Andy Serkis from Lord Of The Rings films.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30He played Gollum.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38And I'm just trying to think which of those he looks most like.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I don't really know what Francis Crick looks like.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I think I'll go with Stephen Hawking.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It's not Hawking, actually. It's Albert Einstein.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51So, a chance for Judith to equal it with your third question.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Which historical figure does Meryl Streep play
0:10:55 > 0:10:59in the 2015 historical drama, Suffragette?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Oh, I haven't seen that either.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Erm...
0:11:09 > 0:11:12And it's got Carey Mulligan in it and, erm,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Meryl Streep is the older woman in it, because I've seen a trailer.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19But whether Carey Mulligan is being Emmeline Pankhurst or not I don't...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I'm not sure.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22I... Oh, deary me.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I think she's Emmeline Pankhurst.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26You've got it right, well done.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Thank God for that.- Emmeline Pankhurst it is.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30So, you've got a point. You've both got a point.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33We go to Sudden Death, Peter, cos it's equal.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It gets a bit harder, I don't give your alternatives.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Which actor best known for starring in westerns
0:11:38 > 0:11:44plays the title character in the 1974 police corruption drama McQ?
0:11:44 > 0:11:51I seem to remember John Wayne did a police film in the '70s, so,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I'm not totally familiar with the film but I'll go with John Wayne.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57John Wayne is a great answer.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Well done. It's right.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02OK, Judith.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05What is the English title for the French supernatural
0:12:05 > 0:12:08television series Les Revenants?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12The Returned. I mean, it literally translates as The Returned.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- The Returned is quite right. - Oh, thank goodness for that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Peter, which actor born in 1980
0:12:18 > 0:12:24is the star of the 2015 television drama series London Spy?
0:12:24 > 0:12:31If I've got my programmes right, I think this was Ben Whishaw.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Ben Whishaw is the right answer.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36You're quizzing well, Peter, well done.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38OK, Judith.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Which Hollywood actress plays the half-elven Arwen Undomiel
0:12:43 > 0:12:46in the Lord Of The Rings film trilogy?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Absolutely no idea. I...
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I'm sort of allergic to Lord Of The Rings.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Er, I haven't watched it and I don't know.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Absolutely no idea. I've no idea.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Is that a pass?- I give up.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Oh, dear. Liv Tyler is the answer. Well done, Peter. You're through.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08You played well there and you took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12so you will be in the final with other members of your team.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Please rejoin us and we'll play on.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17So, a good round for the Roebuckaneers.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21They've lost a brain from the final round but the Eggheads have now also
0:13:21 > 0:13:24lost one and our next subject is Music.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Who would like this?- Oh...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Hmm.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29- You.- Me?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- Really?- I think it was a toss-up between you two.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34- Yeah.- Erm.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Yeah, I think you know more about the past than me.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39"You know more about the past than me"?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- OK.- I think your knowledge is...
0:13:41 > 0:13:43is...broader than Sean.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Well, we'll go find out.- Yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47OK, Fay, on music against which Egghead?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It can be Chris or Barry or CJ.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I recommend Chris.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Yes, I... Yeah.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Yeah. I'll have Chris, please.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58All right, Fay from the Roebuckaneers versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06So, music, Fay, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I think I'll go first, please.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15All right, good luck against Chris.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20Here we go. What title is shared by a 2006 UK number one single
0:14:20 > 0:14:26by Madonna and a 2015 UK Top 10 single by Justin Bieber?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Now...I don't think it's Pardon Me.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I'm not a fan of Justin Bieber at all.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I'm going to go down the middle and go for Sorry.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Sorry is good. Well done.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I think, Pardon Me. I can't imagine Justin Bieber saying...
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Singing a song called Pardon Me.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It's not his style. Chris, your question.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54A 1980s and 1990s contemporary American jazz favourite,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Harry Connick Jr is best known for playing which instrument?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Hmm. Harry Connick Jr, he stands up and plays the double bass.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07- Oh.- Erm.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Oh.- Erm, OK.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Everyone... All the Eggheads went... made the same noise.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14They all went, "Oh!" Barry... Barry makes a little noise.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Piano is the answer.- Is it?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Oh, yeah. - So, that's good, Fay.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21You're ahead, you need to stay ahead.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Love Unlimited and Korean Bodega
0:15:24 > 0:15:28were hits in the late 1990s for which American group?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Again, I haven't got a...
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Erm... a firm answer.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Hmm.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I'm going to go with a gut instinct of Stone Temple Pilots.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49It's wrong, actually. Fun Loving Criminals...
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Oh, no.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52..is the answer.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Chris, your question.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Matt, James and Charlie are the first names of the members
0:15:57 > 0:16:01of which boyband that reformed in 2015?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Who's got back together again?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Erm.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13One from three - I'll have a go at McFly.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- CJ knows.- It's Busted.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Busted.- Busted.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21You and your boybands.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Come on, I'm a 68-year-old man,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25how am I supposed to know about boybands?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Well, you are a quizzer.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28True.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Fay, your third question - get this right and you're in the final.
0:16:31 > 0:16:37Which Austrian composer entered the monastery of St Florian in 1837
0:16:37 > 0:16:41as a choirboy and later returned there as an organist,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44composing many works during his tenure?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I haven't heard this story in relation to a composer, so...
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'm going to go with Schubert.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Franz Schubert.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04This is one that the Eggs will know - Barry especially. Barry?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Well, Schubert was dead then, I believe, in 1837.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08I'd go for Bruckner.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Bruckner is the answer.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So, you have a point, Chris is yet to score.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Chris, if you get this wrong, you're out.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Which album by Bob Dylan, released in the UK in 1975,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25includes the tracks Tangled Up In Blue,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Idiot Wind and Buckets Of Rain?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I have an idea that's Blood On The Tracks.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Yes, it really is. It's a great album. Blood On The Tracks is right.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Well done. So, you're back in it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Sorry, Fay. He just chased you down there.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48So, we go to Sudden Death, OK? It gets a touch harder.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53In 1991, Fay, Queen had a UK number one single
0:17:53 > 0:17:56with a single that was a double A-side
0:17:56 > 0:17:59with These Are The Days Of Our Lives
0:17:59 > 0:18:02and a reissue of which of their biggest hits?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06These Are The Days Of Our Lives.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07I actually like Queen.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11A reissue of one of their previous hits.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I'm going to go for We Are The Champions.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Yeah, it could easily be but it's Bohemian Rhapsody.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Oh.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Your question, Chris, for the round.
0:18:20 > 0:18:27Which former Spice Girl reached the top of the UK singles chart in 2001
0:18:27 > 0:18:30with a cover version of It's Raining Men?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Geri Halliwell.- If you've got this right, you're in the final.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36You've just been complaining about boybands.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Mmm.- Are you OK on girl bands, apparently?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Yeah.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Geri Halliwell, that's the right answer.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Fay, sorry, he's knocked you out on Sudden Death.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48There we are. Chris through on music - doesn't always happen.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51If you rejoin your teams, we'll see what happens next.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56All right, Darrell, we've got a few wheels coming off, any thoughts?
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Yeah, as somebody once told me many years ago, the questions are only hard if you don't know the answers.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- So, yeah.- Well, that's very, very good philosophy.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07It's the Roebuckaneers who've lost two brains from the final round.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08The Eggheads have just lost the one.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12And the next subject, and the last before the final, is Politics.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Who would like this?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Well, I think I'm taking one for the team.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Yeah.- OK, Sean.- On this one. - And who would you like to choose?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21You can have Barry or CJ.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I know it's not particularly appetising.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Erm...- I think you might have a better chance against CJ.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I'll take Pete's advice. I'll choose CJ please, Jeremy.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34So, Sean from the Roebuckaneers is taking on CJ from the Eggheads.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36To ensure there's no conferring, please, gentlemen,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38take your positions.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43So, I'm sensing it wasn't really your choice to do Politics, Sean.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Er, it wouldn't be my first choice, no.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47All right. Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Er... I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Here we go with your first question.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58What relation is Justin Trudeau, who was elected Prime Minister of Canada
0:19:58 > 0:20:02in 2015, to Pierre Trudeau
0:20:02 > 0:20:06who held the same post in the '60s, '70s and '80s...
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Well, I don't... I'm going to be ruling out grandfather.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Erm, so, it's between uncle and son.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17I'm assuming that Justin is younger so I'll say son.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Yeah, the logic is impeccable and I'm glad you chose that,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23you could have gone the wrong way there. Well done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28One of the most bizarre options we've ever had.
0:20:28 > 0:20:34OK. CJ, what word was commonly used in the media in the 2010s
0:20:34 > 0:20:38to mean the potential withdrawal of Greece from the Eurozone?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48The question writers are having fun at the moment, aren't they?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Erm, I think that is Grexit.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Grexit is correct.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55OK, Sean,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59in November 1978, there was an outbreak of panic buying
0:20:59 > 0:21:01of what foodstuff in the UK as a
0:21:01 > 0:21:06result of a strike by workers involved in its production.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Erm...
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'm going to discount tea
0:21:14 > 0:21:17because I'm assuming that is all imported.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21I don't think they'd be panic buying of soup so I'm going to say bread.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Bread is correct. Well done, Sean.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27CJ, to catch up,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29which Labour politician,
0:21:29 > 0:21:34a contender in the party's mid-2015 leadership election,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36was appointed to the front bench
0:21:36 > 0:21:40as shadow home secretary following Jeremy Corbyn's victory?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I was hoping there was only going to be one name there
0:21:47 > 0:21:50from the leadership contest.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Unfortunately, all three of them are.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Erm, I really don't know this.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'll try Andy Burnham.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Yeah, Andy Burnham is right.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59So, two each.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Here's your question, Sean.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Conservative Future,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05the youth movement of the Conservative Party in England,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Wales and Northern Ireland, is made up of all members
0:22:09 > 0:22:13of the Conservative Party who are under what age?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Now, this is something that will be a complete guess.
0:22:22 > 0:22:28I think a youth movement in the Conservative Party could include,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31you know, up to the higher end there.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Erm...
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I'm going to go down the middle and I'm going to say 25.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Yeah, it goes higher.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'm afraid it goes to 30.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43OK, CJ, you could probably join, couldn't you?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Erm, with a little more surgery, yes.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Here's your question. If you get this right, you're through.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51In which year did Iran break off diplomatic relations with the UK
0:22:51 > 0:22:55over Salman Rushdie's book, The Satanic Verses?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Well, I'm fairly sure it was published in '89.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Er... I think '85's too early and I think '93's too late.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I think it was published in 1989.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10So, that's my answer.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Yes, you're right. '89 is the right answer.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Sorry, Sean, he's knocked you out there on The Satanic Verses.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17CJ will be in the final.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20If you return to us, we will play that final round.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24So, here we are. This is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28It is time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:23:31 > 0:23:32to take part in this round.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36So, that is Fay, Sean and Richard, three of the Roebuckaneers,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38but also Judith from the Eggheads.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Darrell and Peter, you are playing to win the Roebuckaneers £1,000.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48CJ, Barry, Chris and Kevin -
0:23:48 > 0:23:51you're playing for something that money can't really buy,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54which is the Eggheads' reputation after that last game.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59This time they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00You are allowed to confer, guys.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06So, Roebuckaneers, the question is - can your two brains overwhelm these four here?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Best of luck to you. Really hope you do it.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10And would you like to go first or second?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- First, I think?- Yeah.- First.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17OK. General Knowledge.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18Your first question -
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Zapper is a colloquial term for what piece of technology?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- TV remote.- Yeah, yeah.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31TV remote control.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32We all know that. TV remote control.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Well done. Eggheads...
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Which of these is a word meaning a long time?
0:24:42 > 0:24:43- Ooh.- Oh, dear.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Oh, that's a tough one. Shall we go for yonks, then?
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48I think it's got to be yonks.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51The correct answer is yonks.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Your question, Roebuckaneers,
0:24:53 > 0:24:59how many countries in the world end with the suffix -stan or -stan,
0:24:59 > 0:25:00meaning country or place of?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Well, you've got many of the former Soviet Union.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan...
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Tajikistan...- Yeah.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Pakistan, Afghanistan.- Yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- So, we're up to...- Five.- Five.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18There's other ones that I can't remember.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22I don't think it'd be 13 but I think there are some more we haven't got.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Probably, another couple of...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Yeah.- Ex-Russian countries.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27I would say so.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- That we're forgetting.- Yeah.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Would you say on a probability - ten?
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Yeah, probability's ten.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- Seven's too low, 13 too high, I think. Yeah.- Mmm.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- So... Ten. Happy?- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Ten, Jeremy.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42OK, ten, shall we try and do it?
0:25:42 > 0:25:46So, you mentioned Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Turkmenistan... - Tajikistan.- Tajikistan.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51So, those are the five -stans, right?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Pakistan.- Then you've got Pakistan, which is six.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Afghanistan.- Afghanistan.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Yeah, we've said that, yeah. - What's the next one?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- I thought there were only seven. - I didn't come up with any more.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I only came up with seven.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06There are only seven. You nailed six so fast that you thought,
0:26:06 > 0:26:07"Oh, there must be four more."
0:26:07 > 0:26:09But there was only one more.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11So, seven is the right answer.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Gives the Eggheads a chance.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Which ventriloquist featured with his dummy Archie Andrews
0:26:17 > 0:26:21in the hugely successful radio show, Educating Archie?
0:26:25 > 0:26:26- That's Peter Brough.- Peter Brough.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Definitely.- Wonderful art of doing ventriloquism on radio.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Yes, we...
0:26:31 > 0:26:34If somebody could explain to us how that works, we'd be very interested.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37But with Archie it was Peter Brough.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Peter Brough is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Well done. Yes, on the radio.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Not really ventriloquism, is it?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Your question, Challengers, you must get this right.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49David Hockney's 1961 painting,
0:26:49 > 0:26:54We Two Boys Together Clinging takes its title from a line in a poem
0:26:54 > 0:26:56by which writer...
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Obviously, literature is more your speciality than mine but...
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Well, not, erm...
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Not this particular...- Not poetry.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- No.- So we are reduced to a guess?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13I think so at the end of the day.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14I've heard of Robert Frost, as well,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I haven't heard of Walt Whitman but is it...
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Walt Whitman is an American poet, I believe.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Go for Whitman?
0:27:23 > 0:27:24- Or...- Yeah. Yeah, go for Whitman.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Walt Whitman.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Is the right answer.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Well done. So, you're level, but, Eggheads, if you get this right,
0:27:33 > 0:27:38the game is over. Who wrote the book The Men Who Stare At Goats,
