0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wit against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads!
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Taking on our quiz champions today are the Barside Layabouts.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This team of friends from Glasgow regularly quiz
0:00:40 > 0:00:43at Booly Mardy's in the city's West End.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm John and I'm a cafe owner.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Mark and I'm a lawyer.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Iain and I'm a chartered accountant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Donny, I'm a dental practice manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Raymond and I'm a restaurant owner.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- So, John, team, good to see you. - Nice to meet you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Here we are filming in Glasgow. You've just basically walked around the corner.
0:01:04 > 0:01:0620 minutes at the most for any of us.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And you quiz, that's the key thing here. You guys quiz.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Well, we quiz mostly against one another in Booly Mardy's
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and we all quiz together in Firebird.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And you used to have a team game that was a bit like your team name today, is that right?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Mark and I grew up in the southside of Glasgow
0:01:22 > 0:01:24and Mark was an accomplished footballer
0:01:24 > 0:01:28and that was known as the Langside Layabouts, his football team
0:01:28 > 0:01:30and we took the name forward from there.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33So here are with the Barside Layabouts. It's all falling into place, that's great.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Good luck against the Eggs here.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I just wonder whether there might be a moment coming where
0:01:38 > 0:01:40they fall off their perch.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47the prize-money rolls over to the next show
0:01:47 > 0:01:50and the reason I say, "I wonder if there might be a moment," is
0:01:50 > 0:01:52because they are on quite a streak at the moment.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56The Eggheads have won the last 15 games on the trot.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59So that means there's £16,000 to win today.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Would you like to get on and try? - Yes, please.- Absolutely.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09So Barside Layabouts, who wants to take this.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- John, what do you think?- I think Raymond, probably.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13- Yeah, I'll go with that.- Good.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Who are we going to play against? - Do you want to have a go at Barry?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Yeah, fine.- What are you thinking?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23He's a little bit impregnable on this one,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- it's not obvious who to choose. You're going for Barry?- Yes, please.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28He's got the full...
0:02:28 > 0:02:30He looks like he watches a lot of TV.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31But we'll see.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Raymond from Barside Layabouts versus Barry,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36the brain from the Eggheads.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43So here we go, Film and TV
0:02:43 > 0:02:46and Raymond, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I would like to go first, please.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So here we go, Raymond, good luck.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00What type of animal was Babe in the 1995 feature film of the same name?
0:03:03 > 0:03:04I think I know this one.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05It's pig.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08It is pig, very good.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Over to you, Barry.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14In the title of a 2012 fantasy horror film,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16how is Abraham Lincoln described?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Amazing there, he was a vampire hunter.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I can't understand how the history books seem to have missed that one!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31What's the film title, then?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I think it was Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Oh, right, I missed the whole thing. Vampire hunter is right.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Raymond...
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Aidan Turner starred in a new version of which of these TV
0:03:41 > 0:03:43costume dramas in 2015?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I'm looking to the first two.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57It's a 50-50 on Poldark and The Onedin Line.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I think they were both out.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I think Poldark, this year. I'll go for Poldark.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Yes, Poldark is right, Raymond well done.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08We go to Barry.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Brian Cant, Toni Arthur and Chloe Ashcroft were all
0:04:11 > 0:04:17presenters of which children's TV show that ran from 1964 to 1988?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I don't recall them in Blue Peter.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Brian Cant rings a bell for Play School, actually.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I'll go for Play School.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Yeah, completely. Did you not watch it?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36No, my children were the wrong age at that time.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40OK, Raymond, which British actor played leading roles in the
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Shane Meadows films, A Room For Romeo Brass
0:04:43 > 0:04:46and Dead Man's Shoes?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I can't believe I got this question.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Dead Man's Shoes is one of my favourite movies
0:04:57 > 0:05:00and it's Paddy Considine.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Is that right? You like the film.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04You're absolutely right Paddy Considine is right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08So you have got three out of three.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Barry is on the edge.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Which actor played the role of Caecilius in the Doctor Who
0:05:15 > 0:05:17episode entitled The Fires Of Pompeii?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Mmm...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I think this may have been Peter Capaldi before he became
0:05:27 > 0:05:30the latest doctor. I'll go for Peter Capaldi.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33That is a real stinker of a question because they're all doctors.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34All Doctor Whos, of course.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Doctor Whos to be or as was.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Peter Capaldi is the right one. Well done.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43You're level after three questions and Raymond we go to Sudden Death.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46A perfect round so far, gets a bit harder now,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I don't give you alternatives. OK?
0:05:48 > 0:05:53For what does the C in the abbreviation BBFC stand?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'll guess corporation.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01No, I think it is the British Board Of Film Classification.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03The C is for classification.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07They put all the certificates on the movies.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Barry, for the round.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13The Scotsman John Anderson acted as the referee on which Saturday
0:06:13 > 0:06:18night entertainment show first broadcast in 1992?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I believe that was Gladiators.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Gladiators is right, Barry, well done, you've taken the round
0:06:25 > 0:06:28and you will be in the final. Sorry, Raymond, you're knocked out.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30But still early days for the Challengers.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Let's see what happens next, do please return to your teams.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38OK, as it stands Barside Layabouts have lost a brain.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Don't worry, though, you've got four more.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42The Eggheads have still got all five
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and we move to our next round which is Music.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Is this good for you?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Who would like Music. - Raymond would've liked music!
0:06:50 > 0:06:51- OK.- It was his first choice.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Shall I do that one? - I think so.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I'll play that, please.- OK, John.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Team captain. Would you like to play? Anyone but Barry.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03What's your feelings?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Chris.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Chris, please.- Sure thing.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So it's going to be John... You had this before, Music.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- I've had it before, yes. - I mean, recently.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I got over it.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15LAUGHTER
0:07:15 > 0:07:18John from Barside Layabouts against Chris from the Eggheads
0:07:18 > 0:07:20and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:20 > 0:07:21please go to our Question Room.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25So John you're the team captain, you put the team together?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- That's right.- But I gather you would rather be snowboarding.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Always.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Tell us where you snowboard?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33We snowboard mostly in the French Alps,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36sometimes the Italian Alps, sometimes Switzerland.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39We try and go away for a couple of weeks every year.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I thought you going to say Scotland and northern Scotland and so on,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- but obviously not so much now. Is that right?- Not so much no, no.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Mark and I sometimes go up there but not very much, recently.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50OK we're on Music, John. I'm sensing you like your music.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Here we go.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Which city did Frank Sinatra sing about with the line,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I wanna wake-up in a city that doesn't sleep?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10That would be New York.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12If Lisa was here she could sing it.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Judith, you once... Come on.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I know. It's Barcelona. It's Barcelona.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21We had a very similar question to this for Judith once
0:08:21 > 0:08:23and she answered Barcelona.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25New York is the right answer.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- That was very close to your Barcelona moment.- Yes.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31OK, Chris, your question.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32The Grammy winning singer,
0:08:32 > 0:08:36LeAnn Rimes is most famous for which genre of music?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43She could turn her hand to any of those
0:08:43 > 0:08:45but she is best known for country.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47COUNTRY ACCENT: Yep, with a name like LeAnn.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48- LeAnn.- I think so.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50HE CHUCKLES
0:08:50 > 0:08:52John, in 2013, which of these artists
0:08:52 > 0:08:56started a multi-year performing residency in Las Vegas?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Well I don't really know this one.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I'd like to think Katy Perry was too young to be doing
0:09:07 > 0:09:12a residency in Las Vegas and I'm fairly sure Madonna is not
0:09:12 > 0:09:15so perhaps Britney Spears was at the right part of her career
0:09:15 > 0:09:17and I'll go for Britney Spears.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Yeah. It is Britney Spears.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22We think of Elvis when we think of residences in Vegas, don't we?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Very sad, I know what was... There was some amazing contract
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Elvis had that almost broke him, I think.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Performing 30 nights out of 31 per month.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Something amazing. Poor guy.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Chris, your question.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Which of these names is given to a type of electric guitar
0:09:38 > 0:09:42that has been in production since 1952?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49If it's been in production since '52.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53That predates Eric Clapton by quite a bit.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54He was 1960s.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Buddy Rich is a drummer.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59So it has got to be Les Paul.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Yes, have you heard of that guitar, the Les Paul?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- No.- OK.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Les Paul is the answer, well done, Chris.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09OK it's 2-2. It's tight.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Here's your question.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15John, Where The Streets Have No Name and With Or Without You
0:10:15 > 0:10:18are songs on which U2 album?
0:10:23 > 0:10:29- That would be The Joshua tree. - Do you like them?- Yeah.- It's true.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30The Joshua Tree is correct.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Well done. You've got three out of three.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35It means you're clinging on, Chris, slightly.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37If you get this wrong, you'll be out.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40After Simon and Garfunkel had split,
0:10:40 > 0:10:45what job did Art Garfunkel take up at the end of 1971?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Well, he came back into the business, didn't he,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57with Bright Eyes in the mid-'70s?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I don't think he'd go and edit a newspaper.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I don't think he had the qualifications to be an architect.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07He'd probably go back as a maths teacher.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11He was indeed a maths teacher, so, three out of three again.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13And we go to Sudden Death, John.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- It gets a bit harder because I don't give your alternatives.- OK.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21For what does the letter B stand in the name of the '60s band
0:11:21 > 0:11:24often abbreviated to DDDBMT?
0:11:26 > 0:11:27That would be Beaky.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29It is, absolutely. And the band name?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- I'd rather not go there, sorry. - Anybody give it to me.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Do you know it, Chris?- Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37That's the one.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41OK, Chris, get this wrong and you are bounced out.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45"Help me escape this feeling of insecurity"
0:11:45 > 0:11:48is the first line of which Take That hit?
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Patience.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Well, that is a song by Take That.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56But it's not the right answer, it's Relight My Fire,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00which was originally a hit for Dan Hartman in the US.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02So, Chris, you're gone.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Well done, John, our cafe owner is in the final round.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09And Chris, you are not. Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Good round for the Barside Layabouts. They have lost a brain,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15but the Eggheads have also lost one now, they've lost Chris.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18So let's see what's happens. The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Who would like this? Who's well read?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Mark, are you going to play that? - Yeah, I'll play that.- Mark?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- All right for me to play?- Yeah.- OK.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28OK. Against?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Judith or CJ, I would say. - I agree.- You pick.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- Captain, you've done well.- OK, could we play against CJ, please?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Yes, you can. Mark from Barside Layabouts
0:12:39 > 0:12:42versus CJ from the Eggheads, grinning.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I quite like Arts and Books, which is probably the portent to doom.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49This may not only be questions about your autobiography.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51In that case, I'm not interested.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58So, Mark, would you like to go first or second on Arts and Books?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59First, please.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Here is your question. Who wrote the bestselling 2015 novel Grey?
0:13:13 > 0:13:18I don't know the novel. And I'm going to have a bit of a guess here.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20And...
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I'll guess EL James.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Yes, that's right because she's 50 Shades Of Grey,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29so it was born from that, wasn't it, Eggs? Is that right?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- That's probably the right word, yeah.- OK, CJ.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37The novel Moll Flanders was published in which year?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45It was written by Daniel Defoe
0:13:45 > 0:13:50who was busy at the beginning of the 18th century, so it's 1722.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53He was indeed busy, 1722 is right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Your question, Mark.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58The title character of which Charles Dickens novel is called
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Daisy by his school friend Steerforth?
0:14:07 > 0:14:12I'm not sure about this. I think it might be...
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Oliver Twist.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19No, it's actually David Copperfield.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I guess, David, Daisy, similar sounding words
0:14:23 > 0:14:26is the only clue there, but I'm sorry, you've got it wrong.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27CJ.
0:14:27 > 0:14:33A Scottish housekeeper with a first name May appears in literature
0:14:33 > 0:14:35working for which fictional character?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Immediately when you said May, I thought
0:14:44 > 0:14:47that was Mrs Hudson's first name. I'm just checking if it is now.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Mrs Hudson, I believe, is Scottish in the original books.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I don't think it's James Bond.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56There something in the back of my mind
0:14:56 > 0:15:00ringing a bell that it is May Hudson, so I'll try Sherlock Holmes.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Wide of the beam.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Oh.- A long way wide. James Bond.- Is it?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10OK, so James Bond had a housekeeper called May. Who knew?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12OK, your question, Mark.
0:15:12 > 0:15:18The writer Maurice Bendrix, Sarah Miles and her husband Henry Miles
0:15:18 > 0:15:22are the principal characters in which of Graham Greene's novels?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Another difficult one, I think.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36The End Of The Affair, I think it is.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Yes, you're right, it is The End Of The Affair. Difficult.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43But good answer. This is an interesting round, this.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46CJ, if you get this wrong, you'll be out.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52Lisa del Giocondo, the model for da Vinci's Mona Lisa
0:15:52 > 0:15:57is believed to have both died and been born in which city?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Well, I knew who she was.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I've got nothing to go on here,
0:16:08 > 0:16:13just maybe she just didn't move too far from home.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16I'm not aware of da Vinci...
0:16:18 > 0:16:22..working particularly, if at all, in Venice or Naples.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26So let's just hope she was a local Florentine and try Florence.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29You've got it right, CJ, well done, Florence it is.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Good logic, don't do yourself down.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- I don't think I've said that before, have I?- Thank you.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37OK, 2-2 after three questions.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40We go to Sudden Death. And it means I don't give you alternatives.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Here is your question, Mark.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47This Slough of Despond is a deep bog in which work by John Bunyan?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I don't know. I don't know a guess even, I don't know.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57- OK. Eggs?- Pilgrim's Progress. - Pilgrim's Progress it is.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00What other famous characteristics of the terrain are there?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03The Slough of Despond is the famous one.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- He passes through various obstacles, doesn't he?- The celestial city.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- He goes to the celestial city eventually.- OK, CJ, it Sudden Death.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12If you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Which artist, born in 1923, used Ben-Day dots
0:17:16 > 0:17:23and speech balloons in paintings such as I Know...Brad?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I'll just have a think, but I'm assuming it must be
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Roy Lichtenstein.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32I'm just checking if there's anybody else.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Lichtenstein is most famous for using speech bubbles
0:17:34 > 0:17:36and certainly used a lot of dots.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40I don't think I can name anybody else.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43No, I'll go for Roy Lichtenstein.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Yes, Ben-Day dots were named after the illustrator and printer
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Benjamin Day, but the artist, you're right, is Roy Lichtenstein.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53CJ, you've won the round. Sorry, Mark.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56That can happen on Sudden Death, it can be sudden.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59You've been knocked out by the grand master here.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Please return to us and we'll see what happens in the next round.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07OK, so Barside Layabouts have now lost two brains.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- No cause for panic yet, guys.- OK.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Got an alternative strategy?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14No, we planned to lose two brains early on.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Yeah, part of the plan, good. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20That's right, just creep up on them, surprise them, a very good tactic.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22The next subject is History.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Who would like History?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- OK, I think Donny is going to play History.- Donny.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31OK, Donny against which Egghead?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35You can either have - we're narrowing it down now -
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Judith or Kevin.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's Judith, please.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41So it's Donny from Barside Layabouts versus Judith,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- whose patron saint is...? - Eleanor of Aquitaine.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47From the Eggheads, please go to the question room now.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50We should probably explain the Eleanor of Aquitaine reference,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Judith, for anyone tuning in.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56It was the last question on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59The million pound question, and it was - who was Henry...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02No, who was Eleanor of Aquitaine married to?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Was it Henry I, Henry II, Henry V,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- or Richard I?- And you were just unerring, I remember.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Well, I'd just visited, by sheer chance,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15two months before that, I'd driven back through France
0:19:15 > 0:19:19and gone to her...where she's buried, where her tomb is.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23And there she is lying next door to her husband in a tomb.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26And it was sheer chance. Extraordinary, really.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- A lucky moment. Well, you take an interest in history, I know.- Yeah.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Others might not have glanced.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37OK, so that is why, Donny, Eleanor of Aquitaine is Judith's...
0:19:37 > 0:19:39What shall we say, guiding star, lucky angel?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Patron saint?- She wasn't exactly a saint, I must admit.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Donny, do you want to go first or second on History?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I'd rather go second, thanks.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53So, here we go, Judith, your question.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Which of these buildings is often described as
0:19:56 > 0:19:59the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I think that's Windsor Castle.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09It is Windsor Castle. Well done.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Donny.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15The Manchu Empire, also know as the Qing Dynasty ruled lands
0:20:15 > 0:20:17based on what is now which country?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- China.- No hesitation there.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28China is correct. OK, they may get harder. Judith,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30during the Second World War,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32which of these battles took place in India?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Well, not Anzio.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43Gosh, I'm not sure where Bardia was.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I think Imphal sounds more Indian than anything else,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48so I'm going to say Imphal.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Imphal is correct. Anyone tell us about it?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Chris, you can tell us about Imphal.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Yeah, well, the Japanese had gone rampaging all the way up Burma
0:20:56 > 0:20:58and the British Army had been retreating before them
0:20:58 > 0:21:01and they made a stand at Imphal, literally at the gates of India.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04And they managed to fight the Japs to a standstill.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07It's really, really fierce, no quarter,
0:21:07 > 0:21:11horrible fighting for weeks on end.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12The front line was literally
0:21:12 > 0:21:15the other side of a tennis court at one point.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18And that was the turning point of the war, where they finally
0:21:18 > 0:21:19stopped the Japanese,
0:21:19 > 0:21:23and it was sort of all the way back down Burma after that.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25OK. Donny, we are back with you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30The Peterloo Massacre of 1819 occurred in which city?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I have absolutely no idea.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I'm...I'm going to guess Sheffield.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Manchester is the answer.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51So, Judith has the chance to take the round with her third question.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Cos you let her go first.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Which London building was built between 1675 and 1710
0:21:58 > 0:22:02at a cost of approximately £750,000?
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- 1675?- Yeah.- Well, the Tower of London was very much earlier.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Buckingham Palace was later.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18But the Fire of London, I mean, St Paul's Cathedral was rebuilt
0:22:18 > 0:22:22after the Fire of London, so I think it's St Paul's Cathedral.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You've got it right, St Paul's Cathedral it is.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Donny, sorry about that, you gave her the initiative
0:22:27 > 0:22:28and she got all three right.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30So you are in the final, Judith.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33If you'd both come back to us, we will play the final round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36OK, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40It's time for the final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42But those who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:42 > 0:22:45won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49That is Mark, Donny and Raymond from Barside Layabouts.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52And Chris, not a layabout at all, for the Eggheads,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54please leave the studio.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00John and Iain, you are playing to win Barside Layabouts £16,000.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02A really handy jackpot we have now.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Eggheads, you've got to defend that money
0:23:04 > 0:23:06cos you are paying for your reputations.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13You are allowed to confer.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15So, Barside Layabouts, the question is,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18are you two brains able to take down these four?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Iain, do you want to go first or second?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Good luck to you both. Here we go.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31What is the weight in grams of a £1 coin?
0:23:41 > 0:23:46- OK, well, it's 9.5.- Yeah. - Otherwise it would be too heavy.- OK.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48We'll go for 9.5, Jeremy.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Very difficult, weight questions. 9.5 is correct. Well done.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Eggheads, all four of you,
0:23:54 > 0:23:59which of these words refers to the sense of touch?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Haptic.- Definitely?- Touch.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Touch is haptic.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Touch is indeed haptic.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Barry, you know this because you've got some fancy watch -
0:24:13 > 0:24:15don't mention the make of it -
0:24:15 > 0:24:18but it's got a haptic touch, hasn't it?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Yes, it touches me whenever I get a phone call,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23which is wonderful, cos otherwise I would miss them.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Isn't that called the haptic?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Yes, it is called the haptic.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Whatever. - The haptic whatever. OK, one each.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Your question, challengers.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Snowflakes generally have how many sides or points?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Snowflakes.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I think it might be 10.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I'm not sure.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Um, go with that?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Yeah, I'm happy to go with that.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03We'll go with 10, please, Jeremy.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08OK. You started on six, you moved to 10, was there logic there?
0:25:08 > 0:25:12There was no logic, it was just based on blind intuition.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Barry will know this, you're the science man.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I'm afraid it's six.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21And how do we get to six? Is it just a septagon, or...?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23The crystalline structure of ice.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26But that six can be formed in millions,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28probably billions of different ways.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Six is the answer.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Sorry.- OK, I wasn't sure.- OK,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Eggheads, to take the lead now.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39The inventor Paul Cornu has been credited with the first
0:25:39 > 0:25:42successful example of which device in 1907?
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Helicopter.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Yes, I think it's helicopter. Dishwasher was... What was that?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Was it Cockerell, the dishwasher? - Are we going with that?
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Yeah, yeah. I think that's helicopter.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You think it's helicopter. Where was he from, old Cornu?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- I think he was French.- French?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- So it's Paul Cornu?- Yes. I think so.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06And it was the helicopteur.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Was it, or is it the guided missile?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12No, no, I'm not sure he would have called it that.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13I can't move you off that answer.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15OK, helicopter is right. Well done.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Well done,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19so they have taken the lead now.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22You do need to get this one right, gentlemen, to stay in.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Tyson Beckford, Marcus Schenkenberg
0:26:26 > 0:26:31and Travis Fimmel are famous names in which industry?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39It's definitely modelling. On you go.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41We're going for modelling, please.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Oh, you went straight there. So how do you know that?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I could quip away about Iain's modelling career.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Maybe I shouldn't ask.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Well done, modelling is right.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52That's good, good play.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Two out of three, may be enough to take us to sudden death,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59but let's see. If the Eggheads get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02"How does it feel to treat me like you do?"
0:27:02 > 0:27:05are the opening lines of which song
0:27:05 > 0:27:08which first made the UK charts in 1983?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- It's Blue Monday.- OK. Thanks very much.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- I've no idea.- I think we have a definite one
0:27:19 > 0:27:22from down the end there that it's Blue Monday.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I thought this was going to stump you. You say Blue Monday.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26How so, CJ? You know this song?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- I know this, it's a big, big hit, this one.- But before your time.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's one of those songs that...
0:27:33 > 0:27:36It's sort of supersedes when it was released
0:27:36 > 0:27:39because a lot of people, even if you don't know the song itself,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41you know the tune, you've heard it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Blue Monday it is.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- John, you would definitely have known Blue Monday?- Yes.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Because you've got that pop thing, I can tell.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59I'm sorry about that, guys, what can I say?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I feel I'm constantly having to make excuses for this lot.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05They just lumber along and then bang.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06- Fair play.- Fair play.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Well, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13This winning streak continues. We are piling up the money.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16It does mean our challengers don't go home with the £16,000,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19so we take the money and roll it over to our next show.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22They're getting more and more exciting, Eggs.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Congratulations. I don't think you can ever be beaten.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I think we've seen the last game in which they lose.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:31 > 0:28:33have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36£17,000 is on the table for that game.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Till then, goodbye.
