0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 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 > 0:00:20The 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 > 0:00:34I haven't given you too much of a build-up there, have I?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- You really are the best? - Yes, on a good day.- Yeah.- OK.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And challenging the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:41are Unsolicited.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Now, this team from Greater Manchester
0:00:43 > 0:00:46work together at the same solicitors' practice.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Chris and I'm a HR manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Jacky and I'm an NVQ assessor.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Ben and I'm a marketing executive.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Dawn and I'm a receptionist.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Paul and I'm a marketing manager.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- So, Chris and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you, Jeremy.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, you're working at a solicitors' but you're not solicitors -
0:01:08 > 0:01:10that's the point, isn't it?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12That's right. We're called Unsolicited, yes.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14That was the point of the name, none of us are actually solicitors.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16So, you do other stuff, but what stuff?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Well, I'm a HR manager, so I look after all the staff,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21do all the people stuff.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Um, Jacky is my wife so she doesn't work for us.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We're just good quizzers together.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And you've got a bit of a football division between you, I know.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- Oh, yes.- So, Jacky is Liverpool. And Chris?- I'm Manchester United.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Er, awkward. What happens when they play each other?
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Well, yeah, it's difficult.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42We have unwritten rules that say that certain things
0:01:42 > 0:01:43can't happen whilst we're watching it.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We can't have a go at each other's team, we're managers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49We've got to try and be as impartial as we possibly can,
0:01:49 > 0:01:50but it is very hard.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53That's quite... I don't how you've manage that, that's amazing.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Good stuff, well, good luck to you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:56 > 0:01:58up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06So Unsolicited, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10which means £4,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12And the first head-to-head battle is on Sport.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- I think we've already decided that. - Is that good?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Yes. I think that...
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Ben, that will be you, won't it?- Yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- The most sporty looking. - OK, Ben. Against which Egghead?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Who do you think? Not CJ, I think. - Lisa?- Yeah, Lisa.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Yeah, let's go for that. - Yeah, OK.- Go for it.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Lisa.- The least sporty looking!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I did hear that phrase, I did pick that up.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38So Ben from Unsolicited versus Lisa, the sporty one from Eggheads.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43would you please take your positions in our special Question Room?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- So, Ben, you support a Spanish football team?- Yeah, that's right.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52I support Real Betis. Not the most popular team, but, yes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53And why is that?
0:02:53 > 0:02:58It was because a while ago, I lived in Spain a few years back
0:02:58 > 0:03:01and the town where I lived, everybody was a Real Betis fan
0:03:01 > 0:03:04so I kind of picked it up and started supporting them.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07And I know you blog about Spanish football as well?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Yeah, I started off writing for a few different websites
0:03:10 > 0:03:15and then just decided to create my own, just on Real Betis.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16So, I mainly write about them.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19OK, good luck in the Sport round against Lisa.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Would you like to go first or second?- I will go first, please.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Here is your first question.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Short corner, long corner and free hit are terms used in which sport?
0:03:36 > 0:03:42Erm, I'm pretty certain it's not baseball. I don't think it's squash.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'm pretty certain it's hockey.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Hockey is right. Well done.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Lisa, in which year was the Formula One world champion
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Graham Hill born?
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Given that he died in '72 and won championships in '62 and '68,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08that would have been a little bit tight for '69, wouldn't it?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I think it makes it a bit tight for 1949, so I'll say 1929.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- 1929 is right.- 1975, he died.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Say again?
0:04:18 > 0:04:191975, he died.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- That's very sad, so in his 40s?- Yes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23OK, Ben, over to you.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Which England cricketer scored a 46-ball century
0:04:28 > 0:04:32in a one-day international against Pakistan in 2015?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Erm, cricket is not probably my best subject.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47To be honest, I've not heard of Jason Roy or Alex Hales.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I know Jos Buttler's been doing fairly well recently,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54so I'll go, yeah, with Jos Buttler, please.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Yes, you're right, Jos Buttler it is!
0:04:59 > 0:05:00OK, Lisa.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Mike Brown typically plays rugby union for England in which position?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14See, the problem you had with the England rugby team
0:05:14 > 0:05:17is that Stuart Lancaster changed them every ten seconds
0:05:17 > 0:05:20so you couldn't get used to anyone playing in any position
0:05:20 > 0:05:23and that's the excuse I'm using and I'm sticking to it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24OK.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Mike Brown.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30No, I can't make a decent argument for this. I'll say number eight.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32OK, Eggheads, is she right?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Fullback.- Fullback, says Dave.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Ah, wrong end of the pitch! - Fullback is right.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39OK, Ben, get this right,
0:05:39 > 0:05:40you're in the final.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Between 1957 and 1961,
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Jimmy Greaves scored 124 league goals
0:05:48 > 0:05:50for which London football team?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I should definitely know this.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Pretty sure it's not Fulham.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I thought before the answers come up, I did think Chelsea.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I'll go with Chelsea, I think. Yes.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Could be a tough one to guess, this.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Did he play for all of them, Eggheads?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20No, he played for two of them.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Played for Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Right, Chelsea and Spurs he played for.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Ben, you're quite right, though. Well done. It is Chelsea. Yeah!
0:06:30 > 0:06:31I love the reaction, that's good.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Well done, Ben. That's very good given that you're only 26 years old.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36So, come back to us and we'll play on.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40So, as it stands, Unsolicited have not lost a brain.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Well done, Ben.- Thank you.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46And the Eggheads have lost one and we play on with Arts & Books.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Who would like this?- Shall I do it?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Yeah, I'll give it a go.- OK, Dawn.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Against which Egghead?- Oh!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Go for Dave, go for Dave.- No, no.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- What do you think?- I think Dave. Because I think he's a sporty bloke.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06- Yeah, OK.- What do you think? - I agree with that.- Dave, please.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09OK, our receptionist Dawn from Unsolicited
0:07:09 > 0:07:12versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- And Dawn, you're a Stephen King fan. - I am, yes.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- I think he's brilliant too.- I do.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- You think the books are scarier than the films?- Yes, definitely.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- What's your favourite of his? - Oh, crikey, now you're asking.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33I love the Dark Tower series, actually. I've read all those.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36And I know they're going to hopefully make a film soon,
0:07:36 > 0:07:37which I can't wait to see.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39He wrote a great book just called On Writing,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42which is about how he writes everything and it's amazing,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- it's like an autobiography.- Yeah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Really amazing.- I'd love to meet him, actually. I really would.- Yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50And find out where he gets his ideas. I think it's fabulous.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I remember he nearly died, didn't he? He was in...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- He was walking by the road and I think a van hit him.- Yes.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59And he came round and he said there was a guy, the van driver,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03just sitting there drinking beer with this really evil-looking dog.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06And he said, "I think I've been killed by one of my own characters."
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- So, good luck, Dawn. - All right, thank you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Do you want to go first or second against Dave?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Arts & Books, here we go.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23In which year was the artist Salvador Dali born?
0:08:29 > 0:08:36Right, OK. Well, it's too late, 1964. And I don't think it's 1934.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37I'll go 1904.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Yes, bang on. 1904.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Well done.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Dave, which of these works of art was created first?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Just got to be careful here.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I've got to go Mona Lisa.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Yeah, which was, I guess, 1500s? - Yes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- And the middle one, Vermeer, was what, 1700s?- Yeah, I think so.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Well, maybe earlier.- No?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- About 1650.- OK, Eggheads say 1650. - Yes.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- And Starry Night is about 1870s, 1880s maybe.- Yes.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Mona Lisa is the right answer.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Back to you, Dawn.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Count Olaf and the Baudelaire children
0:09:20 > 0:09:23are characters in which series of children's books?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32OK, it's definitely not Harry Potter.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34And I don't think it's Goosebumps.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I think it's A Series Of Unfortunate Events.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40It is A Series Of Unfortunate Events, well done.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Dave.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Cavalcade and The Vortex are plays by which writer?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Don't think it's William Shakespeare.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Don't think it's George Bernard Shaw.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Not really heard about Cavalcade.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Was The Vortex the one about drug addiction?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Not sure but it's Noel Coward.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Noel Coward is right.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08All right,
0:10:08 > 0:10:09- you're very tight here, Dawn.- OK.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Get this one right, see if you can knock him off his perch.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Which of these is a famous poem by Walt Whitman?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Ooh, now that is hard.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Erm, I must admit it's going to be a total guess.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33I don't think it's To A Mouse.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I will go Deaths And Entrances, please.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Eggheads?- I Sing The Body Electric.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- I Sing The Body Electric is the answer.- Oh, OK.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47OK, Dave, your question.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50To which of her characters was Jane Austen referring
0:10:50 > 0:10:53when she wrote, "I'm going to take a heroine
0:10:53 > 0:10:56"who no-one but myself will much like"?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Not sure on this.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Oh, unfortunately. I'm not going to go for Emma Woodhouse.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Not going to go for Elizabeth Bennet.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16I'm going to go Marianne Dashwood.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- It's the wrong Answer. Emma.- Emma?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Yeah, Emma Woodhouse.- OK.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23So, the score's level after three.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25And we go to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- I don't give you alternative answers.- OK.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32In which play by William Congreve does the following line appear -
0:11:32 > 0:11:37"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40"nor hell a fury like a woman scorned"?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Oh, no! I should know this.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46But I don't.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'm sorry. I don't know.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Passing?- I'm passing. Yes, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55The answer is The Mourning Bride.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56OK, thank you.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Dave, for the round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Goblin Market is a work by which Pre-Raphaelite poet?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Rossetti.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I need a first name and a surname. HE LAUGHS
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Er, I could go wrong here.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Christina Rossetti.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Is the right answer, Dave. You've taken the round.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Dawn, sorry.- That's OK.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24You've been knocked out
0:12:24 > 0:12:26by Dave there, on Sudden Death.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27And as a result, won't be in the final.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Come back, rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34So, as it stands, Unsolicited have lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38The Eggheads have also lost one and the next subject for you is History.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Who would like this?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- It's either me or... - I'd have done History.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Jacky or Paul.- Go on, I think you can do it.- OK, I'll do it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- I'll take the last round.- If it's food and drink.- You can't guess.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- OK, it's me, then, yeah?- Jacky.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Jacky? All right.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57On History, against which Egghead?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm going to pick Pat cos I like Pat.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- We all like Pat.- But I like him a lot.- You like him a lot?- Yeah.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05You like him even more than us!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08OK, Jacky from Unsolicited versus Pat.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15So, History. Jacky, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Here is your question.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Which of these battles was a crushing defeat for a British force
0:13:27 > 0:13:31fighting against an army of Zulus in 1879?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I really don't know the answer but I almost think I do.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I think it's Balaclava, I think.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Now, I suspect... I think that's Crimea area, is it?- Yes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50That's the Crimean War.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- I've been to Isandlwana, it's in South Africa.- Oh!
0:13:52 > 0:13:56And it's the site of the famous defeat.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Right, Pat.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02The United States War Of Independence
0:14:02 > 0:14:04lasted approximately how many years?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Hmm, how long did they spend fighting?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14They issued the Declaration of Independence
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and that's 1776.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21George Washington was in as President in 1789.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24That's a 13-year gap.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28So, how long? I know they spent quite a while.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Washington had his famous miserable overwintering at Valley Forge,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35so it was a multi-year dispute.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Would it have dragged on for eight years? That's quite a long time.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I'm dismissing 24 years, it certainly didn't take that long.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Two years or eight years?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Eight years is a good substantial war though, isn't it?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Certainly by modern standards.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54What do we have?
0:14:54 > 0:14:58It finished at places like Yorktown, we had a couple of Saratogas.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59There's Bunker Hill.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Have we enough battles to fill eight years?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I don't think we have, I think I'll have to go for two years
0:15:06 > 0:15:08but with some misgiving.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09How interesting.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11You were heading directly for the right answer
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- and then you veered away. - Oh, dear, dear.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Everything you said added up to eight years.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Eight years is the answer.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18- Oh, silly me.- OK, Jacky.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Which of these English kings was made a saint after his death?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Erm, I'm going to go right down the middle
0:15:33 > 0:15:37just because it's in the middle and go for William the Conqueror.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Any challengers know this one? - I think it's Edward.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Yeah, Edward the Confessor is the answer. Edward the Confessor.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46OK, Pat.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Your question.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Bloody Mary was the nickname of which historical figure?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I think it was Mary I of England.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07And under her reign, there were religious persecutions
0:16:07 > 0:16:10and martyrdoms and all sorts, so Mary I of England.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Mary I of England is the right answer. Pat, well done.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16So, Pat has a point and Jacky,
0:16:16 > 0:16:17you need to get this one right.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Napoleon defeated the armies of which country
0:16:21 > 0:16:25at the Battle of Rivoli in 1797?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Do I know? No.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I'll go Russia.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I'm really sorry, it's Austria.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Sorry, Jacky.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43So, Pat has taken the round
0:16:43 > 0:16:45and will be in the final.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49But don't worry, Challengers. You've got time to turn this around.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Come back and let's start.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So, as it stands, Unsolicited have lost a couple of brains now.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Bad luck, Jacky. And the Eggheads have lost one.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00And the last round before the final is Music.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Who would like this?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I think we've already decided that one, haven't we?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06I'll take this one.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09OK, Paul, against which Egghead?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I'll go Barry, please.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13So, Paul from Unsolicited versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20So Music, Paul. Would you like to go first or second?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21I will go second, please.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27OK, Barry, your first question.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Dixieland jazz is often said to have originated in which city?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Oh, I absolutely love Dixieland jazz,
0:17:37 > 0:17:38it really gets my feet tapping.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And it came from New Orleans.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43New Orleans is quite right.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Back to you, Paul.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50Which of these songs was never a UK top 40 single for the Beatles?
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Erm, The Beatles isn't my favourite choice of music.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Erm, I'm probably edging more towards...
0:18:06 > 0:18:07..When I'm Sixty-Four.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11That's, yeah, When I'm Sixty-Four.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13When I'm Sixty-Four is correct.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Well done.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- That's a little while before you were born, I think, Paul.- Yeah.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Barry, Sax is the title of a 2015 UK hit single
0:18:24 > 0:18:27for which former X Factor contestant?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Oh, that's wonderful. They were all on the X Factor.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Fleur East certainly released one in that year.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43In fact, I think possibly they all did.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Was it Ella Henderson, though?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I'm going to go for Ella Henderson.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Do you know, Challengers?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55We think it's Fleur East.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Fleur East.- Ah!
0:18:57 > 0:19:00So, Paul, get this right
0:19:00 > 0:19:01and you're in the lead.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne were added to the songwriting credits
0:19:05 > 0:19:08of which Sam Smith single after its similarity
0:19:08 > 0:19:13to their song I Won't Back Down was pointed out?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23I'm just trying to sing their song in my head.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29I don't think it's Writing's On The Wall.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30I'm going to go straight down the middle,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I think it might be Stay With Me.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34That's what I'll go for.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36And do you know the original song?
0:19:36 > 0:19:37I think it's like...
0:19:37 > 0:19:39# Won't back down! #
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Yeah, a bit like that, yeah.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42So, yeah, well done.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45OK, Barry.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47What is the job of the title character
0:19:47 > 0:19:49in the Verdi opera Rigoletto?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Ah, one of my favourite operas.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Rigoletto was the court jester.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Jester is correct.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02So, you have two, both of you.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05But if you get this right, Paul, you're in the final.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07OK.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10The Bridal Chorus or, as it's popularly known,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Here Comes The Bride,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16is a piece of music from which Wagner opera?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I know the piece of music that you're talking about.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'll go with the first one, Tannhauser.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Do you know, Barry?- Lohengrin.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Lohengrin is the answer.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35So, two each after three questions.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38We go to Sudden Death, I start with Barry.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Pinball Wizard is a song that originally featured
0:20:44 > 0:20:46on which concept album by The Who?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Ah, it must be from Tommy.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Tommy is right.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52So, you need this to stay in.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Paul, which famous 20th-century opera is based on a poem
0:20:57 > 0:21:01called The Borough by a writer named George Crabbe?
0:21:01 > 0:21:07Unfortunately, I think opera is certainly not
0:21:07 > 0:21:09one of my interests in music.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I don't know, I don't even know an opera.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I'll say the Flying Dutchman just because that came up before.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Well, that would be good if it was. Barry, do you know?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Yes, it's Peter Grimes. - It is Peter Grimes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Barry, you've taken the round on Sudden Death. You're in the final.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28If you come back to us, both of you, we will play that final round.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33It is time for the final round,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:38 > 0:21:40won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43So, Jacky, Dawn and Paul from Unsolicited
0:21:43 > 0:21:47and also Lisa from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52So, Chris and Ben, you're playing to win Unsolicited £4,000.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Dave, Pat, CJ and Barry, you're playing for something
0:21:55 > 0:21:59that money can't really buy, the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06You are allowed to confer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09So, Unsolicited, the question is,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I think we'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21And good luck.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25What name is given to the day after Thanksgiving,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28a day that's become a focus for Christmas shopping in the USA
0:22:28 > 0:22:30and more recently the UK?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It's Black Friday, isn't it?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40We know this one, it's definitely Black Friday.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Yeah, Black Friday.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44OK, Eggheads.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Bill Hicks, who died in 1994 at the age of 32,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52was a leading figure in which field?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Stand-up comedy.- Yes, brilliant.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Bit close to the wind, admittedly. We are happy with stand-up comedy?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03He was, yes.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05We think he was a leading
0:23:05 > 0:23:07and sometimes quite controversial
0:23:07 > 0:23:08name in stand-up comedy.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Stand-up comedy is the right answer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13OK, Challengers.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19Which astronaut famously said, "Houston, we've had a problem"?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- I don't think it's Michael Collins. - He was on the first one.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32It's Jack Swigert, I think. Isn't he the one that Tom Hanks played?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37That's right, I don't think it's Michael Collins.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42- Yes, it's either Fred or Jack. I think it's Jack.- Yeah, go with that.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43- You happy with that?- Yes.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46We think it's the middle one, Jack Swigert.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Jack Swigert is right.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Well done.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52OK,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55back we go to you, Eggheads, to draw level.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00In which year was the politician Arthur Scargill born?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Got to be '38, surely. - He's about 70 now.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Yeah, it's got to be 1938.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11The miners' strike is '84.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12No, he's older than me
0:24:12 > 0:24:13so it's got to be 1938.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15It's got to be 1938.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20He was already quite advanced by the time the miners' strike started.
0:24:20 > 0:24:2384, which is what, 36 years after the middle figure.
0:24:23 > 0:24:251948 + 36 is 1984.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27He was more than 36?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29He's older than me so it must be the earliest one.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- We're not making too much of a stake there. It's 1938.- '38?
0:24:33 > 0:24:351938, definitely.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- PAT:- Looks like it.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Erm, didn't know it but we're just basing on how whole he is now
0:24:41 > 0:24:44and how old we think he was at the miners' strike, so 1938.
0:24:44 > 0:24:461938 is quite right.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49So, third question could be
0:24:49 > 0:24:51crucial, guys. Here it is.
0:24:51 > 0:24:57What is stevia, derived from a plant native to South America?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03You know this, do you?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I thought sweetener before cos it's a replacement
0:25:06 > 0:25:09in food recipes. Instead of putting sugar in, you can put stevia in.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Yeah, I'm sure it's sweetener. - We'll go with that.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16OK, our answer is sweetener.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Impressive, yeah. You're right.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- He's a scientist. - You're a scientist? OK.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28So, Eggheads, up against it once again.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Get this wrong, the contest is over and they take the jackpot.
0:25:33 > 0:25:39Who directed the 2015 Cate Blanchett film Carol?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- My initial instinct is Todd Haynes. - Todd Haynes.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I think it's Todd Haynes.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Certainly not Lynch and Gus Van Sant, I don't think did it.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- I'm fairly sure Todd Haynes did Carol.- I'm happy with that.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- I have nothing to add.- Are you happy with that, Pat?- Yeah.- OK.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00We think it's Todd Haynes.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Todd Haynes is correct.- Well done.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04So, equal on three, well done.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Well played, both of you.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Chris and Ben, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13And here is your first question.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17In which board game, similar to ludo
0:26:17 > 0:26:21and sometimes called the national game of India,
0:26:21 > 0:26:25do four players in opposing partnerships of two
0:26:25 > 0:26:29attempt to move pieces around a cross-shaped track.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Any idea?- Absolutely no idea.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Board games, no.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- I'm trying to think ludo.- Nothing.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I don't think I know. I mean, I know ludo
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- but I don't know any Indian board games.- No.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I'm sorry, we don't know the answer, Jeremy. We'll have to pass.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Want to take a stab? - No, we haven't got a clue.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Let me see if the Eggheads know?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Pachisi.- Parchisi, parchesi.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Pachisi is the answer.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Could have taken chaupar
0:27:01 > 0:27:04or twenty-five, it's called as well.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06So, Eggheads, get this right on Sudden Death
0:27:06 > 0:27:08and you're champions again.
0:27:09 > 0:27:15What type of institutions are Black Beach in Equatorial Guinea
0:27:15 > 0:27:18and Angola in the United States?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Angola State Penitentiary. - Prison, definitely.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I think it's in a bend of the Mississippi.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Didn't know that, that was good enough.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Angola has a famous annual rodeo where the prisoners put on a rodeo.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Oh, really?- In a little stadium.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I don't know much about Black Beach in Equatorial Guinea.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38I'm sure, we're both OK?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- I knew Angola is a prison. - Absolutely fine.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Erm, I am reliably informed they are prisons.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48If you have this right, the contest is over.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51The answer on Sudden Death is prisons
0:27:51 > 0:27:53and we say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54You have won.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- I'm sorry, guys.- Hey-ho. - Played well there.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Yeah, I thought we were doing all right.- Oh, you were pushing them.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07And the Indian board game, it's a tough question.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- I've heard of pachisi as well. - Have you?
0:28:09 > 0:28:13But I didn't realise that's what it was. I have heard it but hey-ho.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Hey-ho, lovely to meet you all and thanks for playing.- Thank you.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Been really good. Commiserations to Unsolicited.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:21 > 0:28:24and they still reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It does mean you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29so we roll the money over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Well done, Eggs.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Only lost one today. You're playing well. Who will beat you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:37 > 0:28:39have the brains to end this streak.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41£5,000 says they don't.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Till then, goodbye.
