0:00:04 > 0:00:07These 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are The Wolfpack. Now, this team have been quizzing together
0:00:38 > 0:00:41at Foghertys Bar in Liverpool for the past six years.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Though they often win,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46the biggest jackpot they've ever scooped has been £20.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Paul, and I'm an account manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Luke, and I'm a sixth-form mentor.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Mark. I'm a social worker.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Jay, and I'm a further education lecturer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Dan, and I'm a social worker.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04So, Paul and team, welcome. Tell us why The Wolfpack.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Well, we sort of realised we all liked the film The Hangover
0:01:07 > 0:01:10when we were choosing a team name many years ago
0:01:10 > 0:01:12and it's just sort of stuck from then, really.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13So, that is mentioned in the film?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16The group of friends call themselves The Wolfpack.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- And how do you all know each other? - Some of us went to school together,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23some of us have lived together, been to university together,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26just sort of thrown together over the years, really.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And you've also had, I think, photos alongside celebrities,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- is that right?- Yeah, a couple of times, I've found myself in hotels,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- like Bill Clinton last year and Matt Damon and stuff like that.- OK.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Must just attract celebrities wherever I go.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And, of course, CJ here will be expecting to be asked.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Add that to my collection. - Yeah.- Definitely.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Well, good luck against them. - Thanks.- Let's see how you do.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:48 > 0:01:50for our Challengers.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58So, Wolfpack, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01which means £5,000 is on the table today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Would you like to go for it? - Go on, then.- All right, good luck.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- So, who would like this?- Ooh.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- So, Mark, do you reckon? - Yeah.- Yeah, you up?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Yeah, of course.- Yeah?- We think Mark's our man for Film & TV.- OK.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Mark from The Wolfpack versus which Egghead?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Kevin.- Kevin, please.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26OK, it's going to be the grand master. Game on.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Mark from The Wolfpack versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37So, Film & TV against Kevin.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Mark, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Erm, I'd like to go second, please.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And here we go with Kevin's question.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52What is the first name of the character played by Martin Clunes
0:02:52 > 0:02:55in the TV comedy series Men Behaving Badly?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I believe that's Gary.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Gary is right.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Back to you, Mark.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08"They're creepy and they're kooky
0:03:08 > 0:03:12"Mysterious and spooky They're altogether ooky"
0:03:12 > 0:03:15are the opening lines to the theme tune
0:03:15 > 0:03:19of which TV comedy series of the 1960s?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I think that's The Addams Family.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Yeah, brilliant. Well done.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Back to Kevin.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34The US legal drama The Good Wife is set in which city, Kevin?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Ah, you've got me there because I've never seen it.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I've nothing to go on, really. I just don't know.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I mean, I'm aware of the series, but I don't know where it's set.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55So, just to start eliminating them, I'll rule out Washington.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I'll assume it's between Los Angeles and Chicago.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04And I shall go for Chicago.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Yeah, Chicago's the right answer. Well done, Kevin.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09OK, back to you, Mark.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12In which film starring Humphrey Bogart
0:04:12 > 0:04:17does Peter Lorre play a character called Joel Cairo?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Joel Cairo?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Erm, I'm going to have to guess this answer, I'm afraid.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Erm, I think it could be,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34erm, The Maltese Falcon.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37You are absolutely right. Well done. The Maltese Falcon.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Kevin,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42which English actor's roles
0:04:42 > 0:04:47have included Truman Capote in the 2006 film Infamous
0:04:47 > 0:04:52and Alfred Hitchcock in the 2012 TV film The Girl?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Um, yeah, excellent actor
0:05:00 > 0:05:03in virtually everything he does, I think. Toby Jones.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Yeah, in vogue at the moment. Toby Jones is right.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Kevin has got three.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Mark, pressure on you now.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Which director's 1981 film Polyester
0:05:14 > 0:05:18was accompanied by a gimmick called Odorama,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22whereby viewers could smell what they saw on screen
0:05:22 > 0:05:24through scratch and sniff cards?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I think it's John Waters.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36You're absolutely right. Well done.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Kevin, it's Sudden Death now.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Which 1989 Kevin Costner film
0:05:44 > 0:05:49was an adaptation of a novel about baseball called Shoeless Joe?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Well, that is Field Of Dreams.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It is Field Of Dreams.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56So, again, pressure on you, Mark.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58You've got to get this right to stay in.
0:05:58 > 0:06:04When a streaker ran across the stage at the 1974 Oscars,
0:06:04 > 0:06:08which suave English actor, who was presenting at the time,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12made a famous quip about his shortcomings?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- 1974 Oscars?- Yeah.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Erm, I'm going to have to guess cos I just don't know it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Erm...Christopher Lee.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27No. Right generation. Anyone know here?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Niven.- Niven. - David Niven is the actor.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Sorry, knocked out on Sudden Death by Kevin,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35and Kevin will be in the final.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Mark, you won't, but it's early days.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Come back and we'll play on.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43So, as it stands, The Wolfpack have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45The Eggheads have not lost any so far
0:06:45 > 0:06:47and the next subject for you is Science.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Who would like this?- Ooh.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51What did we say?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Is there any one of us who's got a science degree?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56What do you want to do? I don't mind doing it.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58You said you felt happy with Science.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I'm regretting saying it now, but...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Do you want me to do it?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- If you want me to. It's up to you. - Yeah, I'll do it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08OK, Paul against which Egghead? There they all are. Can't be Kevin.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- I'll go with Pat.- Yeah? - Yeah, Pat.- Pat.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16OK, Paul from The Wolfpack versus Pat from the Eggheads on Science,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and please go to our Question Room.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Paul, you're now on Science
0:07:22 > 0:07:24and would you like to go first or second?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25I'll go first, please.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31OK, here is your question. You're against Pat.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34At what stage of life are people most likely to suffer
0:07:34 > 0:07:37from the condition known as nursemaid's elbow?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Erm, OK, I feel like I should know this,
0:07:45 > 0:07:51but nursemaid sort of makes me think sort of...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I know breast-feeding and stuff like that.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Like, a young child. Nursemaid's elbow.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Then, I suppose, if you've been doing it for a long time,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00maybe it's something you get when you're older.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Erm, nursemaid's elbow.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I'm going to go with old age.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- It's the wrong answer. Infancy.- Ah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Pat, your question.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13A kiloton weapon has an explosive power
0:08:13 > 0:08:16equivalent to how many tons of TNT?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I think that's 1,000,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26which would be more than enough for most applications.
0:08:26 > 0:08:281,000 is correct.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Paul,
0:08:30 > 0:08:36which of our solar system's four giant or Jovian planets
0:08:36 > 0:08:38has the smallest mass?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44The smallest mass?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46OK.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I feel I'm going to rule out Jupiter cos I think that's...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I know they're all big, but I feel like that's really big.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Erm, and also Saturn.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I think I'll rule that out cos, again,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I feel they're maybe the two biggest, but...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03So, I'll go with Uranus.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- And that's completely right.- Yes!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Uranus is right.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Pat, the name of which part of the inner ear
0:09:10 > 0:09:15comes from a Latin word meaning snail shell?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I think the cochlea is part of the inner ear.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I think it's an approximately spiral,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29helical chamber.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Um, yes, I'll have to go for cochlea.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Yes, cochlea is right.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Pat is leading cos of that
0:09:39 > 0:09:41blooming nursemaid's elbow,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- and you need to get this one right.- OK.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Which Irish-born scientist is often credited
0:09:48 > 0:09:53with introducing the litmus test to tell acids from bases?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I should definitely know this, and I know they'll be laughing.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I'm probably the least likely person to have a chemistry degree,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07which I do have, but clearly,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09it's not helping me at all with this question.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Unfortunately, it's going to have to be a non-educated guess.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I think I'll go with Robert Boyle.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Is he right, Pat?- I suspect he is.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Yes, you are. Well done.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23So, Robert Boyle it is.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Level, but Pat can take it with this.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29In 2015, US regulators gave the go-ahead
0:10:29 > 0:10:32to which type of genetically modified fish,
0:10:32 > 0:10:37making it the first GM animal destined for human consumption?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43I read about this.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It's obviously a very sensitive topic.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50I think they gave the go-ahead for a genetically modified salmon.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51And the answer is salmon.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Well done, Pat. You've taken the round.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Sorry, Paul.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Skipper's been knocked out.- Nearly.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Let's see what this means for the team.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06OK, as it stands, The Wolfpack have lost two brains
0:11:06 > 0:11:07from the final round.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Eggheads are still there, all five of them.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11The next subject is Sport.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Is that good?- Ooh.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- That's...- A tough one. Who are we going to choose?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Luke, I think you should take this one.- That's me.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21OK, Luke on Sport against which Egghead?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Who do you think? - I'll take on CJ, please.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27So, Luke from The Wolfpack, CJ from the Eggheads,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29please go to the room - the Question Room.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34So, Luke, we're on Sport. Tell us about your football.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35I play for a five-a-side team.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38We've been quite successful over the years.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41We've now won eight league titles
0:11:41 > 0:11:43and we actually, a couple of seasons ago,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47went unbeaten for the whole season and we got our picture in the Echo -
0:11:47 > 0:11:49the Liverpool Echo - with a little article about us.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Oh, brilliant.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- That must have been great. - Yeah, it was, it was. It's good fun.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Nice, competitive games.- OK, would you like to go first or second?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05So, here we go. In 2015,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09which Manchester City footballer was named African Player of the Year
0:12:09 > 0:12:12for the fourth year in a row?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Well, I know it's not Samir Nasri because he's French,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25and I know that it was Yaya Toure.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Indeed, Yaya Toure.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30He plays, what, midfield?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Yeah, central midfield.- Yeah.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34You don't look as if you know anything about that, CJ.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38I've never heard of any of those three people.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Here's your question, not about football.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Which darts player nicknamed The Menace
0:12:45 > 0:12:49won the BDO World Championships in 1991
0:12:49 > 0:12:54and the rival PDC World Championships in 1994?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I think both Keith Deller and John Lowe
0:13:03 > 0:13:07were at the height of their power slightly before that.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Dennis Priestley, I'm fairly sure,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13or at least reasonably sure, has won both.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16And if you're called The Menace and your first name is Dennis,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19there's certainly a clue there, so I'll go for Dennis Priestley.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I was going to say, I thought you'd missed the Dennis the Menace thing.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24My goodness! Dennis Priestley is correct.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Luke, your question.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Which of these English rugby union players
0:13:30 > 0:13:34earned over 100 Test caps?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Ooh, that's a tough one.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I don't think it would be Jason Robinson
0:13:43 > 0:13:46because he came over from rugby league.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47I think...
0:13:49 > 0:13:52..because he captained the side, I'll go with Martin Johnson.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Anyone know here?- Jason Leonard.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Jason Leonard...- Ah. - ..is the answer, Luke.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01All right, CJ's chance to take the lead.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06Jahangir Khan was unbeaten for over 500 matches
0:14:06 > 0:14:09in which sport during the 1980s?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16He's probably, if not one of the greatest,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19probably THE greatest ever squash player.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Squash is correct.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So, he's in the lead, guys.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25You've got to stop him, Luke, with this answer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29In 2015, Michelle Payne became the first female jockey
0:14:29 > 0:14:32to win which prestigious horse race?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41We actually had this question come up in one of our recent quizzes,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43and I know that it's the Melbourne Cup.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47It is. Well done. Melbourne Cup. Nicely done.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49OK.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51CJ, this for the round.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56In January 2015, which cricketer scored a century
0:14:56 > 0:14:59in a record 31 deliveries
0:14:59 > 0:15:02while playing in a one-day international
0:15:02 > 0:15:04against the West Indies?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Did read this, as well. Did see this story.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I don't think it was de Villiers.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20There's something in the back of my mind telling me he'd retired anyway.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I don't know this, but I'm going to go for Luke Ron-chi.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- It's Ron-key, but it's wrong, anyway.- Oh.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- AB de Villiers...- It is? Oh, dear.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34..is the answer. So, equal after three.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35There we are, Luke.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Had a little bit of daylight there. - Yeah.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Goes to Sudden Death. I don't give you alternatives.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Here's your question.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Which English footballer won
0:15:45 > 0:15:51the European Footballer of the Year award in 1978 and 1979?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I happen to know this because he played for my team
0:15:54 > 0:15:55and that is Kevin Keegan.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Yes, it is Kevin Keegan.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59CJ,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02which Norwegian runner
0:16:02 > 0:16:09won the women's London Marathon four times between 1984 and 1988?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Ingrid Kristiansen.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Ingrid Kristiansen is right.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Back to you, Luke.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18In October 2014, Michael Cheika was appointed head coach
0:16:18 > 0:16:21of which country's rugby union team?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I recognise the name.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27The name came up a lot during the World Cup.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Erm, I think that it's Australia.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33It is Australia. Well done. You're still very much in it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35CJ, this to stay in.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41In 1984, the New Zealand sportswoman Neroli Fairhall
0:16:41 > 0:16:44competed in which event at the Olympic Games,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47thereby becoming the first paraplegic competitor
0:16:47 > 0:16:49to compete at the Olympics?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Haven't heard this, so has to be...
0:16:54 > 0:16:56..an educated guess.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Don't know. I'll try archery.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Archery's right.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Sorry, Luke.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Back to you.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Which German skater won the women's figure skating gold medal
0:17:09 > 0:17:13at both the 1984 and 1988 Winter Olympics?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16HE SIGHS
0:17:16 > 0:17:22I have to admit, German skating is not one of my strongest subjects.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Erm...no, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to pass.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Do you know, CJ?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Katarina Witt. - Yes, it is Katarina Witt.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So, Sudden Death. If CJ gets this right, he's in the final.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38In 2009, which female tennis player
0:17:38 > 0:17:43became the first mother to win a Grand Slam singles title
0:17:43 > 0:17:47since Evonne Goolagong Cawley in 1980?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Well, who was around at the time?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Justine Henin was there, Kim Clijsters.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Kim Clijsters could have been a mother at the time.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Don't know this. I will guess at Kim Clijsters.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Kim Clijsters is the right answer. Well done.- Oh. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:18:03 > 0:18:07All right, well, sorry, Luke, you've been knocked out by CJ.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Good old round, though. - Yeah, it was. Bit of a battle.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Now come back to us and we'll see if the Challengers can turn it around.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18So, guys, it's not a crisis yet, is it?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- No.- No.- We've got faith. Come back.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It's near. It's near a crisis.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25The Wolfpack have lost three brains out of three from the final round.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28The Eggheads are still sitting there, all of them.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Now, see if you can take one out on Arts & Books.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32That is the next subject.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- I'm going to have to do it. - I don't mind. I mean, I will do it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- We'd rather keep you at the end, though.- Yeah.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43No offence, Dan, but you're going to have to take the bullet.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- OK, Dan.- You'll be fine.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48And who would you like? It can be Lisa or Dave.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- I don't think it matters either way. - No. No, I don't think...
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- You can have the honour. You choose.- Lisa.- OK.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55- We'll have Lisa, please.- All right.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59So, Dan from The Wolfpack is playing Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Please go to the special place.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04OK, so, we're on Arts & Books
0:19:04 > 0:19:06and, Dan, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08First.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Good luck.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Financial backers of theatrical productions
0:19:16 > 0:19:18are often referred to by which name?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Ooh, right. Haven't got an absolute clue.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Erm...I'm going to say devils.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Team, do we know? - I'd have guessed at angels, but...
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Yeah, angels, in the sense they're helping.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Dan, don't worry.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Lisa, AA Milne's character Winnie-the-Pooh
0:19:42 > 0:19:44is famously fond of which food?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- SHE LAUGHS - He spells it H-U-N-N-Y,
0:19:50 > 0:19:51but it's honey.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Honey is right.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Back to you, Dan.
0:19:55 > 0:20:0030-something Will and 12-year-old Marcus
0:20:00 > 0:20:04are the unlikely protagonists of which Nick Hornby novel?
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Right, purely based on the film, I'm going to go with About A Boy.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Absolutely right. Well done. About A Boy.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Lisa,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22the collection of German folk tales,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25commonly known as Grimm's Fairy Tales,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27was first published in which century?
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Before those came up,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I had in my head that the Grimms were...
0:20:36 > 0:20:40..a 17th-century outfit.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Is that right? It might be later. I don't think it's earlier.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- SHE SIGHS - No, go on. First instincts. 17th.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52How interesting. OK, Eggheads?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- 19th.- 19th.- 19th.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- Oh, well.- Oh, well. Well, that's not bad, Dan.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58So, she's levelled it
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- for you.- Phew!- Yeah, that's good.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Take the pressure off. - Your question.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05The Ruling Class,
0:21:05 > 0:21:11which was revived on the West End stage in 2015 starring James McAvoy,
0:21:11 > 0:21:12is a work by which playwright?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Again, it's not something that I'm very knowledgeable about,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23so it will just be a pure guess.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I'm going to go for Howard Brenton.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30It's Peter Barnes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So, a chance for Lisa here.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Bianca Minola and Christopher Sly
0:21:37 > 0:21:39are characters in which Shakespeare play?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Bianca Minola and Christopher Sly.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Now, there is a Bianca...
0:21:56 > 0:21:58..in The Taming Of The Shrew.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I would even hazard she might be Bianca Minola.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05There's also a Bianca in Othello.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I'm not sure they ever mention her last name.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I don't remember a Christopher Sly in Othello.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Ooh. I'll go for The Taming Of The Shrew.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Eggheads, do you know?
0:22:20 > 0:22:21- It is right. - Yeah, you're right, Lisa.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24SHE EXHALES Taming Of The Shrew it is.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26So, after three questions,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Lisa is through to the final. Sorry, Dan.- Never mind.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Sorry to your team, but you've still got a final to play
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and you can definitely still win.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Please come back and we will play that final round.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41It is time for the final round,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:46 > 0:22:48won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51so that is Paul and Luke and Mark and Dan from The Wolfpack.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Jay, you are playing to win The Wolfpack £5,000.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Kevin, Dave, Lisa, Pat and CJ,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04you're playing for something which money cannot buy,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15You are allowed to confer. I'm sorry, that doesn't help you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19So, Jay, the question is, can your one brain defeat these five?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- I'm certainly going to try.- Good.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24But we had a lovely time anyway, so whether we win or we lose,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- it's been a great experience. - Brilliant.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Well, listen, you can win. Believe me, you can win.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36OK, here we go with your first question.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40What is the occupation of a lineman,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44as referred to in the title of the song Wichita Lineman
0:23:44 > 0:23:46made popular by Glen Campbell?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Well, with it being lines, obviously, I think -
0:23:56 > 0:24:00I'm pretty sure - that this is telephone pole worker.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Telephone pole worker is quite right.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05OK, Eggheads,
0:24:05 > 0:24:09which Strictly Come Dancing judge
0:24:09 > 0:24:13took on the role of Miss Hannigan in a production of Annie
0:24:13 > 0:24:16that began touring the country in 2015?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Craig.- It's Craig Revel Horwood.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- It could only be, couldn't it? - Really, yeah.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29OK, out of the three options, Jeremy,
0:24:29 > 0:24:33we'll go for Craig Revel Horwood.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35It is indeed Craig Revel Horwood.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Next question is for Jay.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44What name is often given to the loose network of computer hackers
0:24:44 > 0:24:50often associated with the symbol of a stylised Guy Fawkes mask?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Erm, again, I'm pretty sure that hacktivists,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00as they like to be known...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I think it's Anonymous.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It is Anonymous. You're right.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07So, you've got two. Well done.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Back to the Eggheads.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Which king was the last Plantagenet ruler of England?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19- Richard III?- Richard III.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- We're all happy with that, are we?- Yeah.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Henry VIII was Tudor and George II was Hanover, so...
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- So, happy with Richard III, yes? Is that right, team?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Yeah, we're going for Richard III, please, Jeremy.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34And you got it right, too. Richard III.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35So, back to you, Jay.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38The self-declared Rif Republic
0:25:38 > 0:25:42was established in which part of the world in the 1920s,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45where it lasted for several years
0:25:45 > 0:25:48until it was dissolved after a series of wars?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Rif is R-I-F.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Really don't know this one.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I don't think it's Western Australia.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05But, again, I mean, it could be.
0:26:09 > 0:26:111920s.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16Just total guess, but also thinking of political instability,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- I'm going to go with Southern China.- OK.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I guess unlikely to be Australia because that's...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24They haven't had breakaway republics, but...Eggheads?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- ALL:- North Africa.- North Africa.- Ah.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So, whereabouts was it in North Africa?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Mostly Morocco.- OK.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35The Rifs were a tribe confederation
0:26:35 > 0:26:39who had a revolt against the, well, French...
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Cos there were both French and Spanish colonial occupying powers
0:26:43 > 0:26:44in that area.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46And for a few years, they managed to,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48because of the mountain strongholds,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51they managed to hold out and have political independence,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53but eventually, they were overwhelmed
0:26:53 > 0:26:57and the leaders were packed off to prison islands and things.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59And is there a way of ruling out China
0:26:59 > 0:27:02on the basis that nobody can break away in there or...?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Oh, no, no. I mean, that's a perfectly reasonable go
0:27:04 > 0:27:06because in the 1920s,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10China was just in a state of chaos for a good deal of the time.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Lots of warlords ruling different parts of the country.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- That's a perfectly reasonable guess. - OK.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Two out of three, Jay,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20and now the Eggheads have a chance to take it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25In 2015, which actor was reported in the press
0:27:25 > 0:27:29as using an earpiece to be fed his lines
0:27:29 > 0:27:32for his performance in a Broadway production of Misery?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- It's Bruce Willis. - Bruce Willis.- Bruce Willis?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- He's the one who'd been doing the... - Well, James Caan.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46..James Caan role in Misery, yeah.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48OK, so, we're happy with Bruce Willis?
0:27:48 > 0:27:49- Just confirming that.- Yeah, yeah.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52We're going for Bruce Willis, please, Jeremy.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55If you've got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58The answer is Bruce Willis. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You have won.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08It so often happens like that, just the third question.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- I know. Just bad luck. - I know you'll be thinking,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12"I should have gone North Africa," but as Kevin says,
0:28:12 > 0:28:1550-50 if you're guessing there. Commiserations to The Wolfpack.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and they still reign supreme over Quiz Land.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £5,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:34have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36£6,000 says they don't.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I'd call this a winning streak, guys.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Till next time, goodbye.
