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 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- They are the Eggheads, looking quizzically robust.- Yes, definitely.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- Full of beans and raring to go. - All right. And full of confidence.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:41 > 0:00:43are Dropped In IT from Hampshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Now, this team of colleagues
0:00:44 > 0:00:45all work together in the IT
0:00:45 > 0:00:49department of a well-known card payment company. Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Tom and I'm a software test analyst.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Paul. And I'm a compliance specialist.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Vic and I'm a project analyst.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Bren, and I'm a software asset management analyst.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Graeme. And I'm an IT change analyst.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- So Tom and team, welcome. Great to see you.- Thank you very much.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- So all computers, basically, this team.- Yeah, that side of it,
0:01:12 > 0:01:13that side of the business, yeah.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Yeah, meaning what you see in front of screens and work stuff out.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- All of us do that, I think.- Try to.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21All different aspects, different aspects of IT.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Some testing, compliance,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27but we're all associated and all in the same building.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29OK, you quiz together?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32We haven't quizzed together as a team like this before.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Some of us have, in pairs, or what have you.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- We're all very keen quizzers. - Good, well, that's very good.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And Pat, over here. You are a massive computer man, aren't you?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- You bring a huge computer everywhere with you.- I love computers, yeah.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Yeah, why do you love them so much?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I don't know, I've just been using them for 30 years.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Just astonishing machines. - OK. Well, there we are.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55So you've got an IT guy over there.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58He will be playing against you, of course.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00And you're a mind-reader, Tom, I gather?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- SLOWLY:- Yes.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Shall we...? While you're thinking of an answer,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- I kind of try and project it to you? - Yes, it's called mentalism.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Mentalism?- Mentalism, yeah.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Right, well, use whatever you can today.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Yeah, I was going to use it on these guys.- Do use it.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I won't use it on you even though I know you have the answers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18That would be cheating.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I will try and project an answer to you once or twice and see
0:02:21 > 0:02:22whether it works.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Good luck with the computer side, with the mentalism,
0:02:25 > 0:02:26good luck with everything.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:28 > 0:02:30up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35the prize money rolls over to the next show. So, Dropped In IT,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I can tell you the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42which means £4,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- and bring that streak to a stop. Would you like to try?- Of course.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Yeah, shall we do it? We think, yes. - Well, since you're here.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Who would like Science?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Am I taking one for the team, am I? - It's one of you two, isn't it?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01No, well, I have got the other three, haven't I?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- I'll take one for the team. Yeah. - Graeme?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Graeme is going to take Science.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09On Science, OK, our change analyst. Against which Egghead?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Dave, let's go against Dave. - OK, Tremendous Knowledge.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Straight into action, Dave.- Yep.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18So, Graeme from Dropped In IT versus
0:03:18 > 0:03:21TKD from the Eggheads.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Please go to the famous Question Room now.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27All right, so Graeme on Science,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I know you are going to be good at this.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Would you like to go first or second?- Definitely first.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Definitely first. Here we go.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Which of these is an element on the periodic table, Graeme?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44It's lead. 100%.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45It is.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Do you know what the letters are for lead?- No.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Dave?- Pb.- Pb.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Plumbum.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52OK, Dave,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55in which year was Albert Einstein born?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02I think...
0:04:02 > 0:04:09The Theory of Relativity was 1905, so let's go for 1879.
0:04:09 > 0:04:111879 is quite right.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Graeme,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17the Goliath bird-eating tarantula, sometimes said to
0:04:17 > 0:04:21be the world's largest spider, is native to which continent?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I think, I think I'm going to get this right,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I remember seeing this on a TV programme.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32It's South America.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35It is indeed South America.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Well done.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38OK.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Dave, which scientist was the first person to observe Saturn
0:04:42 > 0:04:43with a telescope in 1610?
0:04:49 > 0:04:50I'm not going for Edwin Hubble
0:04:50 > 0:04:54or Carl Sagan. I'll go for Galileo Galilei, please.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Galileo Galilei. Quite right.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59So two each. He's a good player,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Graeme.- I know.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Got to hold focus here.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Which of these was a carnivorous
0:05:04 > 0:05:09dinosaur with a distinctive horn-like growth on its head?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Um, I don't know is the honest answer.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23100%. Um, so I'm going to have to take a guess, I'm afraid.
0:05:23 > 0:05:29I'm going to guess it's Ceratosaurus.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Yeah, you're right, Graeme. Well done.- Excellent.- Ceratosaurus.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Unbelievable.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You have to get a picture of that on your bedroom wall.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Dave, to stay in.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Yeah.- Which of these animals is a South American
0:05:40 > 0:05:41member of the camel family?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Right, I don't think it's a grebe.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I thought a gharial was to do with lizards and things.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I've got a funny feeling that a guanaco is a llama,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02which would lead to a member of the camel family.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04So guanaco is my answer.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06And guanaco is the right answer, well done.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Oh, well, it wasn't going to be easy, was it, Graeme?- No, never.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Against an Egghead.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14So it goes to Sudden Death and gets a bit harder,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I don't give you alternatives.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18What name is given to the fine,
0:06:18 > 0:06:23usually yellow powder that is borne on the anther of a flower
0:06:23 > 0:06:29and dispersed by insects, wind or other means to compatible plants?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33The only word that I can think of around that is to do with
0:06:33 > 0:06:35pollination, so is it pollen?
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Yes, pollen is right.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Straight on.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Dave, to stay in. Of what does the Richter scale measure the magnitude?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Richter?- Yeah.- Earthquakes.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Correct. It may get harder.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Graeme,
0:06:50 > 0:06:55areography is the term for the physical geography
0:06:55 > 0:06:56of which planet?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Again, absolutely no idea.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02At best, we're looking a lot at Mars,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04so I am going to go for Mars.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Yeah, it is Mars, actually.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08And how do we get...? Barry will know how we get to areography.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Aries is the god of war, isn't he?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13And Aries is always associated with Mars.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15OK.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16You Eggs,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18never cease to amaze. Dave,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20to stay in.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Lemmus lemmus is the scientific name
0:07:22 > 0:07:24for a species of which type of rodent,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26usually found in Arctic regions?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Rodent?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39No, it's not coming. Um...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I'll just put in a guess, but I don't think it's right. Ants.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Ants.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Yes, it's one of those ones where you look at the word
0:07:45 > 0:07:49and you just choose the creature closest to the word. So, Eggheads?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Lemmings?- Lemmings. - It's a lemming, all right.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I don't know what a lemming is, to be honest.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I mean, the only thing I know is that they all move in groups
0:07:57 > 0:07:58and we talk about them.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Anyone seen a lemming?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- It's a rodent.- Yeah, yeah.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05It's like a small, you know, smallish furry creature.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06OK. It's a smallish...
0:08:06 > 0:08:07You've been knocked out by
0:08:07 > 0:08:10a smallish, furry creature, Dave. HE LAUGHS
0:08:10 > 0:08:12So, sorry. And, Graeme, you're in the final, well done.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Wow.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Good.- Thanks, Dave. - First strike to the IT team.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Come back, please, and we'll play on.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Right, Lemmus lemmus, Eggheads.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Is that what a Lemmus lemmus looks like? I've just drawn that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Is that... Is that...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- to scale?- Is that a police reconstruction?- Yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Have you seen this rodent? - It's not a million miles away.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Evaded fare on the underground. - I'm told there is no... Oh, hang on.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40There is no... A lemming has no tail.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Oh, now I recognise it. Absolutely!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Now they recognise it! HE LAUGHS
0:08:45 > 0:08:47OK, so good start for Dropped In IT,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49who've not lost any brains from the final round.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52The Eggheads have got a bit of a computer virus. They've lost one.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54The next subject is Sport.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Good? Who wants this?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I think that will be me.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01OK, Paul. Choose an Egghead.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Anyone except Dave.- Lisa. Lisa?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- I'd like to take on Lisa, if I may.- Yeah.- You may.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08She's good on her Sport.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Paul from Dropped In IT versus Lisa from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Please go to our Question Room.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- OK, Paul, you're up against a very competitive player.- I certainly am.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Are you ready for this?- Yes, I am.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24OK, would you like to go first or second against Lisa Thiel?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I would like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35And here we go. Where was the golfer Rory McIlroy born in 1989?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Something I follow quite closely is golf,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and that would be Northern Ireland.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Northern Ireland is quite right.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Lisa,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51in motor racing, what name is given to a tight sequence of corners
0:09:51 > 0:09:53in alternate directions?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01That's a chicane, Jeremy.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It is a chicane.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Paul,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08George Ford joined which rugby union club in 2013?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Rugby union is not my strong point. Um...
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I'm going to hazard a guess at...
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Gloucester.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- And it is a guess. - All right, who knows here?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29- Bath.- Bath, they say.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Sorry, Paul. Gives Lisa a possible advantage.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Which 20-year-old British tennis player made his Davis Cup
0:10:37 > 0:10:41debut in the 2015 final against Belgium,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45losing the opening rubber to David Goffin in five sets?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Was this...?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Yeah, I mean, everyone says it was Andy Murray won the Davis Cup,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55but actually, if you trace it back, it was James Ward who won
0:10:55 > 0:11:00the decisive singles match against the US. Jamie Murray is older.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01It's Kyle Edmund.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03It is Kyle Edmund.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05So she's ahead. Paul, you need this one.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I certainly do.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Which country was the most successful in the sport
0:11:09 > 0:11:13of fencing at the 2012 Olympics, winning three gold medals?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Again...
0:11:19 > 0:11:20not one of my strongest.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'd probably have to go...
0:11:25 > 0:11:28..straight down the middle with Italy.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Yeah, nicely done. Italy is right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Lisa, to take
0:11:32 > 0:11:33the round.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Which former New Zealand cricketer was found not guilty of perjury
0:11:38 > 0:11:40and perverting the course of justice at
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Southwark Crown Court in November 2015?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49See, you know you're a minority sport lover when you'd
0:11:49 > 0:11:52have preferred the fencing question to the cricket question.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Um, right...
0:11:55 > 0:11:59The inkliest inkle possible tells me to go for Chris Cairns.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02On the basis of what? He was...
0:12:02 > 0:12:06It's just the only name I've got any sort of recognition for.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07It was in...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I remember this story happening,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13and I hadn't seen any of the back story to it and I read it and,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15you know, when you start with the last day of the story,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17it's never easy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19But it is Chris Cairns, well done. Chris Cairns is right.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21She got three out of three.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Sorry, Paul.- Never mind. - Knocked you out.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25No way back for you. Beaten by our Egghead and
0:12:25 > 0:12:26not in the final round.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Come back to us, rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31So the Eggheads have pulled one back here.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Dropped In IT have lost a brain now from the final.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36The Eggheads have also lost one.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39We move to Geography. So who would like this?
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Do you want to take it?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42I don't mind taking it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm much better on History than Geography.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- I'll go for Geography then. - OK, that's very democratic.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Bren on Geography. Software asset management analyst.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Against which Egghead?- Barry.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Barry. He's been to every answer.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57HE LAUGHS
0:12:57 > 0:13:00There was no easy choice there.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Barry He's Been To Every Answer Simmons.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06OK, Bren from Dropped In IT versus Barry, who's done
0:13:06 > 0:13:08a lot of travelling, from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Please go to the Question Room.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14OK, so, we're on Geography, Bren.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Here we go with your first question.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Which of these geographical features produces
0:13:25 > 0:13:29approximately 20% of the world's oxygen supply?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Well, I can't imagine the Himalayas producing much in the way of oxygen.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Nor the Great Barrier Reef, so the Amazon rainforest is my answer.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Amazon rainforest is correct. Barry,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50which famous building is located at a place called Bennelong Point?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I haven't been to Australia, but I actually have Australian
0:13:56 > 0:14:01friends who have invited me and they actually live on Bennelong Point.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So if I went to see them, I would see Sydney Opera House.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Sydney Opera House is the right answer. Well done.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08OK, Bren,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11what is the only city in the County of Cornwall?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Not Falmouth.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I have looked at a list of cities, so although I may be setting
0:14:23 > 0:14:26myself up for a big fall here, I'm pretty sure it's Truro.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Truro is correct.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Back to you, Barry.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33The Isle of Sheppey
0:14:33 > 0:14:35is located at the mouth of which river?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40The Isle of Sheppey is at the mouth of the Thames.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41It is indeed.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Quizzing well and briskly here, too.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Third question, Bren.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46What is the smallest
0:14:46 > 0:14:50and most densely populated country in Central America?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59OK, I'm not 100%, but I'm going to take a stab at Nicaragua.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Let's see whether Barry knows.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03I'd have gone for El Salvador.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05El Salvador is the right answer.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Sorry, Bren.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08I don't how much smaller it is,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12but it's the answer. Barry.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14What is Germany's largest port?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Germany's largest port? That must be Hamburg.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Hamburg is the right answer, Barry, you are through. Sorry, Bren.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29One wrong answer can be costly, as Paul found.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34So, as it stands, Dropped In IT have lost
0:15:34 > 0:15:37two brains from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41So the Eggheads just pulling ahead here. You've got to stop them, guys.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Music now.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Yay!- Who wants the...?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yeah, is that good? Who's Music?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- That'll be me.- OK, Vic. - It's got to be Kevin.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Yeah, it's got to be Kevin.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56OK, so Vic from Dropped In IT, versus Kevin,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58the Grand Master, from the Eggheads.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Please go to the special room.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Well, it's good to hear someone say they love Music, Vic.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- Yeah, I certainly do. - So let's see how we go.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Good luck.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Vic, which of these rap groups are commonly
0:16:15 > 0:16:18described as practitioners of gangster rap?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I think that would be NWA.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31NWA is right. Kevin,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34which singer performed at the wedding reception
0:16:34 > 0:16:37of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45In 2011... Yeah, it was 2011, wasn't it? It was April 2011.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47End of April.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I really don't know. Um...
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I'll say Ellie Goulding.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Is he right?- Yes. - Yeah, you're right.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Ah, that would have been handy, Vic.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02In which year was Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker
0:17:02 > 0:17:04first performed publicly?
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Well, I think 1692 is too early
0:17:13 > 0:17:15and probably 1792 is too early,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18so I'll go 1892.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- 1892 is the right answer!- Yes! - Well done.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Kevin,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Take Me Home is the title of a 2015 UK hit single
0:17:27 > 0:17:28for which singer?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I'm not associating that with...Gary Barlow.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42And Tom Odell was a sort of...
0:17:42 > 0:17:46He became a critical favourite,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48won awards, that sort of thing.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49I'm going to go for Jess Glynne.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Yes, Jess Glynne is right.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57So, can be crucial this third question, Vic, good luck.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Horse With No Name was a UK top ten hit
0:18:00 > 0:18:03in the early '70s for which band?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11I think it was America.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Well done.- Yes, well done.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15OK, America is right.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20So, Kevin, to stay in, what name was given to the 19th-century
0:18:20 > 0:18:26musical argument between radical composers like Wagner and Liszt
0:18:26 > 0:18:30and more conservative artists such as Brahms and Clara Schumann?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39All depends who applied this term,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41whether it's just a sort of a critical...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45..a critical or a popular term
0:18:45 > 0:18:47because War of the Aesthetes seems...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52..almost a bit too intellectual, in a way.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Unless it's being applied in some strange way,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I can't make a case for War of the Baroques.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01So I'll rule that out.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Yeah, it could have been somebody just using it
0:19:04 > 0:19:06as a term of abuse for older...
0:19:08 > 0:19:09..composers.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I mean, both sides, in some respects,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15could be said to have come from the Romantic tradition.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20If you've got... So it was Tchaikovsky and Wagner
0:19:20 > 0:19:23versus Brahms and Clara Schumann, although that's obviously just a...
0:19:23 > 0:19:25So,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27War of the Romantics.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Any Eggheads know? Is he right?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Well, it was the Romantic period of music,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32so I would have gone for War of the Romantics.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Anyone else? - I would have gone for that.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Yes, Barry likes it, Dave likes it, and it's right.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Yeah.- War of the Romantics.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Oh, well.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Three, three.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45We go to Sudden Death, Vic.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Eyes Open is the title of a 2006 chart-topping album
0:19:50 > 0:19:51by which British group?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'm just trying to think who was around in 2006.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Coldplay? I don't know.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I don't think that's right. That's not right.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11No, but you were in the right territory. It's Snow Patrol.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12OK, bad luck,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Let's see if Kevin can take the round. Sudden Death.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18The lead singer of which British heavy metal group has had
0:20:18 > 0:20:21a parallel career as a commercial airline pilot,
0:20:21 > 0:20:26sometimes flying the band to destinations on their world tours?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- So it's the band you want?- Yeah.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's Iron Maiden. It's Bruce Dickinson.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Yes, it is Iron Maiden and it is Bruce who's the singer
0:20:34 > 0:20:36and the pilot. And well done, Kevin. Sorry, Vic.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- That's OK.- Very good player on Music, I can tell.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Please come back and we will see what happens in the final.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It is time for the final round which, as always,
0:20:48 > 0:20:49is General Knowledge.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52But I'm afraid those of you lost your head-to-heads
0:20:52 > 0:20:54won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57So, that's Paul, Vic and Bren from Dropped In IT,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59and also Dave from the Eggheads.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06So, Tom and Graeme, you are playing to win Dropped In IT £4,000.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Use mentalism. Use whatever.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Lisa, Pat, Kevin, Barry,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14you're playing for something that money really can't buy which is
0:21:14 > 0:21:17the Eggheads' precious reputation and to keep this little streak
0:21:17 > 0:21:20going that you've got, modest streak that you've got going.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27You are allowed to confer. So, Dropped In IT,
0:21:27 > 0:21:32the question is, are your two brains better than these four?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- And would you like to go first or second?- First?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Absolutely.- First, please, Jeremy.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43All right, General Knowledge, first question to our Challengers.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Which of these characters has featured in the most
0:21:46 > 0:21:49novels by their original authors?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- OK, well, it's not Dracula. - Sherlock Holmes, has got four...
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- Sherlock Holmes did a lot of books. - Original author.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- Yeah, by the original... By the ORIGINAL author.- Author, yes.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08So James Bond had some new authors.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11So there's only so many films.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Six or seven, or whatever it is, by...
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- ..what's his name?- Fleming.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Fleming. Ian Fleming. And then Conan Doyle...
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Yeah.- So he... How many did he write?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Now, he wrote quite a few books, I think.- I've never read any of them.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Haven't you?- I haven't even watched the TV shows.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32The Hound Of The Baskervilles, Scarlet Letter...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Six or seven, isn't there? Yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I think it must be Sherlock Holmes.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- We'll give it a go.- I think so.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39It's going to be close.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42It's going to be something like six, seven or something.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Do you know how many Bond films there are?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- There's 27-odd Bond films.- 27?
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- Bond films, yeah.- It's either going to be Sherlock Holmes or James Bond.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- You're scaring me with 27. - But that's just films.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57A lot of them were written by Broccoli and co.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Were they?- Yeah.- OK.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Let's go with your gut.- OK.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- And we'll go with Sherlock Holmes. - OK.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07We're not sure.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10So it's going to be the other one, anyway.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11But we'll go for Sherlock Holmes.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Actually, in terms of novels that feature Sherlock Holmes...
0:23:17 > 0:23:18It is a tough question,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20we can probably quote them.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21The Sign Of The Four,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23The Hound Of The Baskervilles...
0:23:23 > 0:23:24A Study In Scarlet.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25A Study In Scarlet and...
0:23:25 > 0:23:26The Valley Of Fear.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27The Valley Of Fear. Right.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31So James Bond some way ahead of Sherlock Holmes.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33James Bond is the right answer there. Sorry, Challengers.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35OK, over to you.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Rachel Khoo is a famous name in which field?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Khoo is K-H-O-O.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46She's the Little Paris Kitchen, she's a cook.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Cookery presenter, yeah?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Everybody happy with that?- Yeah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51She's done various cookery programmes.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54She's been in Paris and elsewhere. Cookery.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Cookery is correct.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Your second question.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Don't give up hope here because they often go wrong.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Alex DeLarge is the protagonist of which 1970s film?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I've never watched any of these. Alex DeLarge?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- It screams out A Clockwork Orange. - To me it does.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Marathon Man was the diamonds from the Second World War.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I don't know what The Conversation is.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30So we'd have to go Clockwork...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32My first thought was Clockwork Orange,
0:24:32 > 0:24:33but I was like you, I've never seen them.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I've never watched them, so I don't know.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38We'd have to go A Clockwork Orange.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Yeah. We have to choose one, don't we?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Again, we don't know...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45..so we are going with A Clockwork Orange.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- A Clockwork Orange is the right answer.- Excellent, well done.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50So you've got one, they've got one.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Let's see what they do now.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56What collective name is often given to the medieval literature
0:24:56 > 0:24:59and legends relating to Britain, in particular
0:24:59 > 0:25:03the myths of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Eggheads...
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- The Matter of Britain.- Yeah?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Refrain is not right,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15so, no, it's the Matter of Britain.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16OK.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Jeremy, I'm advised by my colleague it is the Matter of Britain.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Yeah, never heard this.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The Matter of Britain is correct.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Well done.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28They're ahead.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30You must get this one right.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Tony Gallagher became the editor in chief
0:25:35 > 0:25:39of which national newspaper in September 2015?
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Was it...?
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- Tony Gallagher. No idea? - None whatsoever.- I've got no idea.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Don't follow...- News to me.- Yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Who's not selling very well?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00That's a good point. In that case,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03you would say The Sun, wouldn't you?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Yeah, I guess. - The other two are bestsellers.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09They all have their fits and starts, but stable,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11yeah, they have their set readers.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Yeah, let's go with The Sun.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Well, with cast-iron certainty yet again...
0:26:14 > 0:26:16GRAEME CHUCKLES
0:26:16 > 0:26:18..we're going to go for The Sun.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Yeah, it almost could be any,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23but you got it right. It is The Sun.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Nicely done.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26So, Eggheads, if you get this right,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28cos of their Sherlock Holmes
0:26:28 > 0:26:32answer earlier on, you will have taken it and ended the contest.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Otherwise, we go to Sudden Death, playing for £4,000.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Alfie Deyes, born in 1993, has found fame in which field?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Deyes is D-E-Y-E-S.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- He's Zoella's boyfriend. - Is he Mr Zoella?
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Yeah, that's what I said.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Is it D-A-Y-E-S?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55No, D-E-Y-E-S.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56I think they're based in Brighton.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59And there are people looking in the windows of his house and he's now
0:26:59 > 0:27:01getting very upset about it.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04As soon as I saw those choices, I thought vlogging.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I'm fairly sure he is. Pat is right, he's Mr Zoella.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Well, we think he's based in
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Brighton and he's a keen man in
0:27:13 > 0:27:14internet vlogging.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17As the partner of who?
0:27:17 > 0:27:18- Of Zoella.- Zoella?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Zoella Sugg is it, no?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21- Yes. Yes.- Zoe Sugg. Right.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23The stuff you know.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25If you are right,
