0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:28pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are...
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, this team of friends are all members
0:00:38 > 0:00:40of the Barnsley Tennis Club,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42where they take part in an annual quiz,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44usually won by team captain Jonathan.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hello, I'm Jonathan and I'm a judge.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Chris.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I'm a chartered surveyor and property consultant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm a film student.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm John. I'm a primary school head teacher.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Steve and I'm currently unemployed.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04So, Jonathan, team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06And are you raring to go as well?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- We are, yes, Jeremy.- Yes?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11So, tell us about the tennis club and how you all meet.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Well, the quiz is only once a year, so when I say I regularly win it,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20regularity doesn't mean every week.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- You've won it twice? - Won it twice, yeah, yeah.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- I always share my prize with the others.- Right.- Yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- And you play tennis as well, I'm assuming.- Yeah.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We're social tennis players,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32which means we're not very good at tennis, so we do quizzes instead.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35OK. And do you quiz on the same team or quiz against each other?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Each other.- Yeah. - So, good luck to you.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:39 > 0:01:41up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49So, No Racket Required, the Challengers won the last game,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51which at least proves it can be done
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and it means £1,000 is here for you to win today.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- So, would you like to try? ALL:- Yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Who would like this? - Am I going for this?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Sarah.- Yeah?- I think Sarah's the nominated person.- Yes.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10OK, Sarah. Against which Egghead, Sarah?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- What do we think? - I don't know. Um...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- I think Judith.- Judith?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Judith.- Girl on girl?- Judith. Girls against girls, yes.- OK.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Right. So, Sarah from No Racket Required
0:02:22 > 0:02:23versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32So, Sarah, Film & TV against Judith.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Good luck.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42"I do wish we could chat longer
0:02:42 > 0:02:44"but I'm having an old friend for dinner,"
0:02:44 > 0:02:46is a famous line from which film?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I think that's The Silence Of The Lambs.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Yes, it is. I think it must be Anthony Hopkins saying it.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Silence Of The Lambs.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Judith.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05On a film set, a clapper loader is a member of the crew
0:03:05 > 0:03:08who works primarily with which piece of equipment?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, I don't think it's the catering truck.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I imagine it's a camera.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Cos of the clapper board, yeah. - Yeah.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21- Camera's right.- Good.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Sarah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Who directed the 2015 science fiction drama film
0:03:27 > 0:03:28The Martian?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38The Martian. This is the one with Matt Damon, isn't it?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I don't think it's Christopher Nolan.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Ooh...
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I can picture it on the side of a bus.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Um...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'm going to say Ridley Scott.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Challengers, is she right?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I think so. - Yeah, you're right. Well done.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Ridley Scott. Judith.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59In which 1985 film
0:03:59 > 0:04:03does Crispin Glover play a youthful version
0:04:03 > 0:04:05of the central character's father?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I suppose one ought to do it on the date.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18But I'm not sure when any of those films...
0:04:19 > 0:04:23..were made. I'm...I'm not sure. Um...
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I really don't know. Um...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Back To The Future.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32That is correct.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35OK, so, your third question.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Can be crucial, Sarah.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41In which sitcom is Clem Fandango
0:04:41 > 0:04:46played by Shazad Latif, a regular character?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I actually know this cos I love this.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I love this sitcom.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I'm pretty sure it's Toast Of London.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57It is. Well done.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Three out of three for you. Judith.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Which actor appeared in the second series
0:05:02 > 0:05:07of the drama serial Peaky Blinders as Alfie Solomons?
0:05:17 > 0:05:18I think it's Cillian Murphy.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- I say Killian, you say Sillian. - I have no idea how to pronounce it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- I think it's Killian, but it doesn't matter cos it's wrong.- Oh.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Tom Hardy...- Oh.- ..is the answer.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30So, well done, Sarah. You're in the final round.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Hey! How about that?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37So, the first Challenger who goes into battle has survived.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Judith has been knocked out. Please come back and we'll play on.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44So, good start for No Racket Required.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49The Eggheads have lost the one.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51And we play on. It's Science for you now.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Who would like Science?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- I think that's going to be me. - Steve?- Yeah.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Against who, Steve?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- I think I'll go for Pat.- Pat.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05So, Steve from No Racket Required versus Pat,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08known as the Silent Destroyer, from the Eggheads.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10To ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13please go to the Question Room and we'll start the Science round.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17OK, Steve. On Science, would you like to go first or second?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I'll go first, please.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24And here is your question.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Panthera leo is the scientific name for which creature?
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Well, Panthera would be to do with the large cats.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42And the only large cat there is a lion, so it's the lion.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yes, indeed, lion it is. Well done, Steve.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Pat, over to you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50For what does the letter B stand in BSE,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53the condition that affects cattle
0:06:53 > 0:06:56and came to prominence in the UK in the 1980s?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Well, it affected cattle, and it's...
0:07:05 > 0:07:08..bovine spongiform encephalopathy,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10so it's bovine.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Encephalopathy, yeah. Bovine is right.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16OK, back to you, Steve.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19What name is given to the thin, bone-like tissue
0:07:19 > 0:07:22that forms the outer surface layer
0:07:22 > 0:07:26of the roots of human teeth and assists in tooth support?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Steve, is this...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Well, cementum is what holds it in place.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38And the pulp, dentine...
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I think the pulp... If you get down into the pulp,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43that's when you've got a major problem -
0:07:43 > 0:07:45you're going to get an abscess and a lot of pain.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47So, I'll say the dentine.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- No, it's cementum, actually.- Oh.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Yeah. But when you say what holds it in place, I was thinking,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- that's almost what we're describing. - Ah, right.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Cementum is the answer.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Pat, your question,
0:07:58 > 0:07:59to take the lead.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Haemoglobin is an example of what type of substance?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I think...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11..haemoglobin is a protein
0:08:11 > 0:08:17that enables the transport of oxygen in the blood, so it's protein.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Protein is right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21So, Pat has the lead, Steve.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23See if you can get this right
0:08:23 > 0:08:25and have a chance of going to Sudden Death.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28What is the female reproductive part
0:08:28 > 0:08:30of a flower known as?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37HE SIGHS
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I'm going to rule out tepal straightaway.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Is it the stamen or the pistil?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'm going to say stamen.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Pistil is the answer, Steve, sorry,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53which means you've been knocked out by Pat there.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54So, there we are.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57The current British quiz champion, Pat,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59what can we say, goes through to the final.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01And if you come back to us, we'll play on.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05So, as it stands, No Racket Required
0:09:05 > 0:09:07have lost a brain from the final round.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09The Eggheads have also lost one, though.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11And we play on with Arts & Books.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Who would like this? - I think Chris.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- You said if this came up... - You'd go for it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- It's the least favourite subject, but I'll go for it.- OK.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Chris. Chris against who? - We think Chris, do we?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- I was thinking Chris. - I think so.- Yes.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Chris against Chris. - Yeah, good idea.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Two Chrises.- Yeah. - All right with you?- Why not?- Good.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Chris from No Racket Required versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36This is going to be easy to do(!)
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Me to work out which Chris is which.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the special room.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44So, I guess you could be Chris R,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48and then Chris H is Chris Hughes, the Egghead. How about that, Chris?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- That'll do, yeah.- All right. And let's start Arts & Books.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Would you like to go first or second, Chris?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01And here is your first question.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04According to Kenneth Graham's The Wind In The Willows,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07"There's nothing - absolutely nothing -
0:10:07 > 0:10:11"half so much worth doing as messing about in" what?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well, I know it's not lorries and I know it's not planes.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I think the answer is boats.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Boats is correct.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Chris H.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Which character in the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist
0:10:26 > 0:10:28has a dog named Bullseye?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I was once offered this part in Oliver, in a play.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Couldn't take it.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39My shift work commitment. It's Bill Sykes.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40It is Bill Sykes.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Chris R, back to you.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Which character is committed to a mental asylum
0:10:46 > 0:10:52at the end of Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Well, I'm afraid I don't know the answer, and as we said,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03it's not my favourite subject anyway,
0:11:03 > 0:11:04so it's going to have to be a guess.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I think I will guess Stanley Kowalski.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It's not Stanley. Eggheads?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Blanche DuBois. - Kevin says Blanche DuBois. Yes.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19And for what reason? She just loses it?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Yeah, effectively. At the end, yes.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Caused by?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Marlon Brando yelling at her.- Yes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30- Caused by Stanley, basically.- Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34So, Stanley, i.e. Marlon Brando, is mean to her throughout.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- And it's Blanche DuBois.- OK.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Chris H.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Which British author living in France
0:11:41 > 0:11:46at the outbreak of World War II was interned first in Belgium
0:11:46 > 0:11:49and then in Tost in Silesia?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56He was a very naive character, really, in some ways.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58He wrote some propaganda pieces for the Nazis
0:11:58 > 0:12:02not realising what he was doing, really. It was PG Wodehouse.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Yeah, that's right. There was a bit of TV drama on that recently.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Yeah.- PG Wodehouse is right.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09So, Chris, back to you.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14In Stephen King's 1979 novel The Dead Zone,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17the central character Johnny Smith
0:12:17 > 0:12:20has an encounter with which real-life US president?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Again, it's one I'm not familiar with,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29so I'm going to have to guess.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I will say Richard Nixon.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Now, I know this from the film
0:12:36 > 0:12:40and I don't remember Carter being referred to in the film.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- No.- Amazing film.- Mm.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Yeah, it was a very good film. - But he's pivotal to the book.- Mm.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yeah. I suppose a bit too touchy at the time.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Jimmy Carter is the answer, Chris, sorry.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55So, Chris Hughes, known as The Locomotive,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57you are through to the final round.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Chris R, sorry, no way back from there.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01You've been beaten by our Egghead. Come back and rejoin your teams.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05So, as it stands, No Racket Required
0:13:05 > 0:13:07have lost two brains from the final round.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09The Eggheads have just lost the one.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12And the next subject, and the last before the final, is History.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- And who would like this, Jonathan? - Well,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16that's going to be me, Jeremy.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- That is your thing, isn't it?- Yes. - Definitely.- Against which Egghead?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Kevin.- Yeah, OK, Kevin. - Two captains.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26So, Jonathan from No Racket Required versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Actually, it was a History question that saw them
0:13:28 > 0:13:30all go down in the last game.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Well, good luck against Kevin. - Thank you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39I think I'll go first, Jeremy, please.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Jonathan, which of these kings of England
0:13:45 > 0:13:48ascended to the throne at the age of ten?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Well, Henry VIII was, I think, 19
0:13:55 > 0:13:58when he ascended to the throne.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59And George VI...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03..ascended to the throne when his brother abdicated.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06So, I think the answer is Richard II.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Richard II is correct.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Brilliant. Good start. Kevin.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15What was the name of the possibly apocryphal figure
0:14:15 > 0:14:19whose actions inspired the machinery-destroying antics
0:14:19 > 0:14:21of the Luddites?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Well, yes, nothing to do with me, guv.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Nothing to do with Kevin.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Um, it was Ned Ludd.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Ned Ludd is right.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Jonathan.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43In 1979, with the backing of the invading Soviet Union,
0:14:43 > 0:14:48Babrak Karmal became president of which country?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55The answer to that, Jeremy, is Afghanistan.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Afghanistan is correct.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Kevin, in which
0:14:58 > 0:15:01European country did the military
0:15:01 > 0:15:04seize control in 1967,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08a rule that finally ended in 1974?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It became known as the...
0:15:14 > 0:15:17well, the rule or the period of the colonels.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20It was senior army officers, but the colonels.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22And it was Greece.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Greece is quite right.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25You're both playing well.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Jonathan. Which diplomat
0:15:27 > 0:15:33served as Foreign Minister of Nazi Germany from 1938 to 1945?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43The answer to that, Jeremy, I'm pretty certain is von Ribbentrop.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46It is indeed von Ribbentrop. That's right.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48So, Kevin, to stay in.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53The All-Union Leninist Young Communist League,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56an organisation for young people in the Soviet Union,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59was commonly known by what shorter name?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Well, Politburo was obviously the top policymaking body
0:16:08 > 0:16:12of the Communist Party, basically, in the government.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Orgburo just sounds rather bureaucratic.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20But the youth organisation was known as Komsomol.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yes, Komsomol is correct.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Oh, it would've been so much easier if he'd got that wrong,
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Jonathan.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28But we go to Sudden Death,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30and it gets a bit harder cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- All right.- Here's your question.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Which Mediterranean city was known as Massalia to the ancient Greeks
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and Massilia to the Romans?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Mediterranean city...
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I don't know is the answer to that. Um...
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I'm trying to think of a likely candidate
0:16:54 > 0:16:55as a Mediterranean city.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- I'm going to say Nicosia.- OK.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- You'll be so cross with yourself. - Mm.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Massalia to the Greeks, Massilia to the Romans.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- To the French, Marseille.- Oh. Yeah.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- The one that sounds like it.- Mm.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14So, Kevin has the chance to take the round on Sudden Death.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Kevin.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Harald Fairhair has been described as the first king of which country?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Well, no beating about the bush. It's Norway.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Do you know when he was born? - I don't know.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Somewhere around about 965 or something like that. I don't know.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Yeah, born about 860, died about 940.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Oh, so, I've gone to the wrong end of his life, OK.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39But the answer is Norway, so you've got it on Sudden Death.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Well done, Kevin. Sorry, Jonathan.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I know that's annoying cos
0:17:43 > 0:17:46that's almost the most guessable one, so...
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- But you played well there. - Thank you.- You've been knocked out.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52We'll see what happens in the final now.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56And here we are, ready for the final round.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58This is what we have been playing towards,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00and, as always, it's General Knowledge.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03But, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:18:03 > 0:18:05won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08So, Jonathan, Chris and Steve from No Racket Required
0:18:08 > 0:18:10and also Judith from the Eggheads,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12would you please now leave the studio?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- John and Sarah, the big moment is here.- It is.- Yep.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18John, let me ask you about your parents
0:18:18 > 0:18:20cos I know the Eggs will be fascinated.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- Who were they?- My dad has the same name as me, John Gregson,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27and he made about 50 films in the '50s and '60s,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30things like The Titfield Thunderbolt, Genevieve,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Longest Day...- Yeah.- ..Sea Of Sand.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35And of course, The Titfield Thunderbolt.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Yeah, The Titfield Thunderbolt.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39The Titfield Thunderbolt is one of your favourites, Chris.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Well, it's the greatest Ealing comedy of them all.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Yeah, Chris was talking about it just the other day.- Is that right?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Yeah, seriously. Amazing.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Was he in The Longest Day as well? - Along with everybody else, too.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Yeah.- Yeah, yeah.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54And he was also Gideon of Scotland Yard.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Gideon's Way, yeah. - Yeah.- Commander Gideon.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- What an amazing career.- Yeah.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02So, all that's left for me is to write his life story,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- which is what I'm going to do shortly.- Right, OK.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Yeah.- Well, thank you for telling us.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10They'll all start truffling around for new facts.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12And there'll be questions coming out of that
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- and everything else, I'm sure. - Yeah.- So, good luck to you.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17You're playing to win £1,000.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Pat, Barry, Chris and Kevin,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22you're playing for something that money can't really buy,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30You are allowed to confer.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34So, No Racket Required, our tennis players, the question is,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38are your two brains able to outserve these four here?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Well, we'll try.- Good stuff. Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Shall we go first?- First? - Yeah, go first.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Your first question.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50According to the expression,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53what can you not make without breaking eggs?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00What can you not make without breaking eggs?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Um...
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Never heard that expression before. Have you heard it?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09It, like, rings a bell, but I don't think it's meringues.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12I'd say...
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- I think omelettes, you know. - Omelettes.- Yeah, it's got to be.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17We'll go for omelettes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Omelettes is the right answer.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Eggheads.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24What is one said to indulge in
0:20:24 > 0:20:29when occupied by complacent self-absorption?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- Navel-gazing. - Navel-gazing, I'd agree.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I think some of us could contemplate our naval for hours.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42But the answer is navel-gazing.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Navel-gazing is right.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Your question, Challengers.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51The Neolithic site Newgrange is located in which country?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Neolithic. Newgrange.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00It doesn't sound original French, does it?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Newgrange...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- I was drawn to Norway, but I don't know.- Were you?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I really don't know. I don't think France.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10There's a lot of old stuff in France, isn't there?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- I'll leave this to you, I think.- Thank you(!)
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Um... - SHE LAUGHS
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- There's a lot of old stuff in Ireland.- Ireland?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21We'll go for Ireland.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Let's see, are they right?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- EGGHEADS:- Yes.- Eggheads!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- The Eggheads confirm it is Ireland. - Yeah, OK.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Well done. Two out of two.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Eggheads.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34What part of a house derives its name from the reception room
0:21:34 > 0:21:37in a religious establishment
0:21:37 > 0:21:41where the incumbents could see and speak to their friends?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Parlour.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Well, parlour... - Is where you go to speak.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52..from the Latin to speak, isn't it? Or the French, parler, to speak.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It doesn't meet either of the others, does it?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Yeah, I mean, parler. - I think parlour.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57I can't see it...
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- No, it can't be alcove or scullery.- No.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- No. So, we're all happy with that?- Yep.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Well, we're going to go for parlour
0:22:04 > 0:22:07because that has links to the French parler, to speak,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10and probably the Latin even preceding the French.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Parlour is the right answer.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Over to you now.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Try and get this one right. - Thank you.- Here's your question.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20From 1941 to 1945,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Rab Butler served as minister for which area of government?
0:22:28 > 0:22:33The name really rings a bell, but I don't...know.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- I can't see it being war. - Rab Butler.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- I've got a, like, inkling it could be education.- You know what?
0:22:39 > 0:22:40I was actually... Yeah.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43But it is a guess, but...
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Education?- Yeah.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48We'll go for education, Jeremy.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Education is the right answer.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53So, the third question to you, Eggheads. If you get this wrong,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56the Challengers will have won for the second game running.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Who dies at the very end of the opera La Traviata?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Violetta.- Violetta?- Violetta.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Well, this is right up my street.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09This is one of my favourite operas
0:23:09 > 0:23:12with absolutely lush and moving music,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14and it's the lady of the camellias,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Violetta, who dies at the end.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Violetta is correct.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Three out of three for you both.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23We go to Sudden Death.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Yay(!)
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Your colleagues are sweating backstage.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Not as much as us.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.- OK.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35The name of which Central American country
0:23:35 > 0:23:38literally translates as the Saviour?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Oh, that's El Salvador, isn't it?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- El Salvador means, in Spanish.... - Yeah.- El Salvador.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46- El Salvador is right.- Yeah.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Eggheads.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51What is the capital of Liechtenstein?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Vaduz.- Vaduz, yeah. - All happy with that?- Yeah.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Yeah, we're all happy with that.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57This is one of the must-know capitals
0:23:57 > 0:24:00out of the hundreds in the world. It's Vaduz.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Vaduz is correct.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Sudden Death.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08You're playing well. Four in a row so far.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Which word from the German for behind and land
0:24:13 > 0:24:16means a region remote from urban areas
0:24:16 > 0:24:21and is also used to imply that a person has depth of character?
0:24:21 > 0:24:22So, German...
0:24:22 > 0:24:25There's a thing, in German, called the hinterland, isn't there?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Have you heard of that?- No.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31It's like the land behind the main bit, so...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33And it means depth of character?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Let me read it again.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Which word from the German for behind and land
0:24:39 > 0:24:43means a region remote from urban areas
0:24:43 > 0:24:46and is also used to imply that a person has depth of character?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- So, you thought hinterland? - Hinterland's the first thing
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- that came into my head, but whether it's right...- Yeah.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56- You don't know the German for behind?- No. No. It's a pity.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Um...- That's the only thing that's come in to my mind.- No.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- They probably know it behind us. - Yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09We're just going to have to go with... Yeah.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It's a bit of a guess, Jeremy, but we'll go for hinterland.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Oh, it's exactly right.- Is it?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Hinter means behind. Hinterland, yeah.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Eggheads.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22RICS stands for the Royal Institution of what?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Chartered surveyors? - Chartered surveyors.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Is there anything else it could be? Just have a thought?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Wouldn't be a Royal Industry... - Or Royal Institution. No.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34RICS is normally...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Chartered surveyors. - OK, so, we're happy with that.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40OK, we believe RICS stands for
0:25:40 > 0:25:43the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Yes, it does. Chartered Surveyors.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Back to you.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49In Greek mythology,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53the sea monster Scylla and the whirlpool Charybdis
0:25:53 > 0:25:57were located on either side of which stretch of water?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Greek mythology. - Mm. Stretch of water.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Barry will know this one too. - SHE LAUGHS
0:26:05 > 0:26:08So, Greek - ancient Greece - stretch of water.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- I don't know.- No?- Not at all, no.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Trying to think of, like, off the Mediterranean.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- It's Jason and the Argonauts, isn't it?- Is it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- That one?- I don't know. Sea monsters...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I don't know.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Think of any seas in Greece? Stretch of water?
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Inside of what...?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Say...
0:26:38 > 0:26:39I don't know.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- I couldn't even guess.- No?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46We're struggling here, Jeremy. Something like the Ionian Sea?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Something like that? - Yeah, something.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Something like...Greek-ish. - That we made up.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55I think you've reached the depth of our knowledge.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- We'll try the Ionian Sea. - Ionian Sea.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Eggheads, do you know?
0:27:00 > 0:27:01The Straits of Messina.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- The Straits of Messina. The Sicilian strait.- Yeah.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- It's the strait between Sicily and mainland Italy.- OK.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10OK, Eggheads.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Get this right and the contest is over.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18Dr Angelicus is another name for which 13th-century saint?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Thomas Aquinas.- Thomas Aquinas. - Yeah, we're all happy with him?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Yeah.- Yeah. - Who else could it be? Roger Bacon?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- He was Dr Mirabilis. - No, he was Dr Mirabilis
0:27:27 > 0:27:31and Aquinas' teacher, Albertus Magnus,
0:27:31 > 0:27:32he had a different title.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37- I'm sure it was Aquinas.- I think... I'm sure it's Thomas Aquinas.- OK.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Lots of people around that time were called doctors of the church,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43but we think Dr Angelicus was Thomas Aquinas.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46The correct answer...
0:27:46 > 0:27:47is Thomas Aquinas.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Well, you battled along there. My goodness.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Well done to you both. - They're pretty formidable.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06- They are. And four of them as well, which, you know, isn't easy.- No.
