0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:28pit their wits against possibly
0:00:28 > 0:00:30the 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...
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Now, this friends and family team
0:00:37 > 0:00:40have been quizzing together at the Oaklands pub in Borehamwood
0:00:40 > 0:00:44for four years and they regularly win. Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hello. My name's Elliot and I'm a pawnbroker.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Jim. I'm a production and quality engineer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello. I'm Alan. I'm an accountant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Joe. I'm a SAP finance analyst.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi. My name is Paul. I'm a freelance journalist.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- So, Elliot and team, welcome. Great to see you. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06What's great here is you do quiz together a lot.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12Yes, every Wednesday night we quiz at the Toby and every fortnight,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15another local pub. We normally do quite well.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- So, you're well-practiced?- Yes.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The name Sadfellas, tell us why.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Well, we're all big fans of Goodfellas.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25But we're not that good.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- So... Sadfellas.- Did you all go to Las Vegas at some point?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Yeah, some of us have been to Las Vegas a couple of times.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You recreated Goodfellas there?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Sort of, yeah. I always make a little film after the trip
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- and I did it on a Goodfellas theme. - OK. So we've got to think of
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Goodfellas music and just general...? All right.- Yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Well, I hope you can take this lot apart today.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Good luck. Always nice to have a team of people who quiz together
0:01:49 > 0:01:51already, isn't it? Which we don't always get.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53So the fact that you are a quiz team is brilliant.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:55 > 0:01:57up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05So, Sadfellas, the Eggheads have won the last four.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06We're calling it a streak.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10It means £5,000 is on the table to say that you can't beat them.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Let's start. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Film & TV.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- I think we decided I was going to go.- Yep, you're right.- Definitely.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Elliot, OK.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Which Egghead looks like they've never been to the cinema?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26THEY LAUGH
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm sure they all have many times.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31But I think I'll go for Lisa.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Elliot from Sadfellas,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36To ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Good luck on Film & TV, Elliot.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Your question.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54What threatens to collide with Earth in the 1998 disaster film
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Deep Impact?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Um...
0:03:01 > 0:03:05They went up in a rocket to stop something colliding.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06I believe that is a comet.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Comet is right. Well done.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Lisa...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Which James Bond actor appears briefly as King Richard
0:03:15 > 0:03:20at the end of the 1991 Kevin Costner film Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27It's Sean Connery.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Sean Connery is the right answer.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31So your question, Elliot.
0:03:32 > 0:03:361981 saw the first broadcast of which children's TV show?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Blue Peter was way back in the late '50s.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Teletubbies, I think, was early '90s.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'm going to go for Postman Pat.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Postman Pat is quite right. Yeah.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56You can easily trip up on those ones.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01Lisa, the 1970s drama series Secret Army was set
0:04:01 > 0:04:02during which conflict?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Secret Army...
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I wonder what it was about.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Because that would sort of help.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18There's any number of '70s ones set during the Vietnam War.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20So it could be the Vietnam War.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23But if it's Secret Army, I wonder if it's like the women
0:04:23 > 0:04:26left behind in World War II or something like that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29No, I'm just going to have to hold my hands up here.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30I'll try World War II.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33BARRY LAUGHS Eggheads, is she right?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Of course.- Yeah, you're right, Lisa.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38And let's get the question answered, why was it called Secret Army?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Because it was about the Belgian Resistance.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45The Nazis had conquered Belgium and it was about the resistance to them.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Right, Lisa. You've got it right.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Secret Army. Sorry, Elliot.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- It's annoying when that happens. - Never mind.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Your question.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Which Hollywood actor was born in Kentucky to a beauty queen mother
0:04:59 > 0:05:00and TV presenter father?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Well...
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I'm not sure, but Kentucky...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I don't think Brad Pitt is from the Southern states.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I'm going to guess and I'm going to go for Sean Penn.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Is he right, team?
0:05:21 > 0:05:22- Do you know?- I don't know. - Do you know?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- DAVE:- George Clooney.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25George Clooney is the answer.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Two out of three. Can Lisa take advantage?
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Here is your third question
0:05:29 > 0:05:31to get in the final, Lisa.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35In November 2015, which actor angered a number of film reviewers
0:05:35 > 0:05:39with his satirical piece entitled An Honest Film Review,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42which was written for the New Yorker magazine?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Now, I'm going to discount Chris Hemsworth.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54He's a smart fella,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56but if you're going to write a satirical
0:05:56 > 0:05:59piece in the New Yorker, it sounds like something that
0:05:59 > 0:06:02one of the other two might be more likely to do.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04If I was... Yeah. Well, I am.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I was going to say, "If I was on the spot
0:06:06 > 0:06:09"and had to pick one of them as being the likely culprit..."
0:06:09 > 0:06:11You know, that's exactly where I am.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So we'll just scrap all of that and go for Jesse Eisenberg.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Jesse Eisenberg is the right answer, Lisa. Very well played.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I love him. I'm glad I've got another reason to love him.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Yeah, well played. With just a tiny glimmer of this and that
0:06:23 > 0:06:25got you there. So, well done. Elliot, sorry.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Never mind. - Skipper knocked out by an Egghead.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Not a good start but plenty of time to take revenge, Challengers.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Come back and we'll play on.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38So, the Sadfellas have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40They've become a little bit sadder.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Time for Goodfellas-style revenge now. OK?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46LAUGHTER
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's pushing it a little bit.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50LAUGHTER
0:06:50 > 0:06:53So, Arts & Books is the subject.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55THEY CONFER
0:06:55 > 0:06:56- It's me.- You going for it, Alan?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Alan is going to take that.- It's going to be Alan, the accountant.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01OK, against which Egghead?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Not Barry.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Kevin, please.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07OK, you are taking on the main man.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Alan from Sadfellas versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Alan, against Kevin, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I'll go first, please.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Here we go.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25The Van Gogh Museum is a feature of which city?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31I would say Amsterdam.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Yeah, cos he was Dutch, wasn't he?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Absolutely.- You're right. Amsterdam is correct.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Kevin...
0:07:38 > 0:07:42A 1949 landscape painting entitled The Football Match,
0:07:42 > 0:07:48which sold for a record £5.6 million at auction in 2011,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50is a work by which artist?
0:07:55 > 0:08:01I think Lowry actually did a couple of football-themed paintings
0:08:01 > 0:08:03with people going to the match
0:08:03 > 0:08:06and at the match. So LS Lowry.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07LS Lowry is correct.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Alan, in which novel by John Wyndham
0:08:12 > 0:08:16do aliens melt the earth's polar icecaps
0:08:16 > 0:08:18causing cataclysmic flooding?
0:08:23 > 0:08:29Erm, I have read some John Wyndham, but it was a long, long time ago,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33and I certainly do remember reading Day Of The Triffids.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I don't think it's that. I think it's The Kraken Wakes.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39He was sort of ahead of his time with science fiction,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- wasn't he, old John- Wyndham? Yeah. - The Kraken Wakes is correct.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44OK, Kevin.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47The large painting Beverly Hills Housewife
0:08:47 > 0:08:51was completed in 1967 by which leading British artist?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Well, I don't know the...
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I don't know the painting. There's an implication there
0:09:01 > 0:09:03that it would be somebody based in California.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Not necessarily, but...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I'm not aware of Lucian Freud or Peter Blake
0:09:08 > 0:09:11being there or doing that,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14but the one who was based in California for some years
0:09:14 > 0:09:19and did California-based paintings like A Bigger Splash and suchlike
0:09:19 > 0:09:20was David Hockney.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22So, without actually knowing it as such,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I think I would have to go for David Hockney.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Yes, the logic is impeccable. David Hockney it is.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Alan, the third question, as Elliot knows,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- can be crucial.- Yeah. - Who is the subject
0:09:36 > 0:09:40of Philip Larkin's short 1970s poem that runs,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44"In times where nothing stood But worsened, or grew strange
0:09:44 > 0:09:48"There was one constant good She did not change"?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58I can't say I'm familiar with the poem.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I'll go for his mother.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Yeah, it's actually not. It's the Queen.- Ah.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07So, again, the Challenger's coming unstuck
0:10:07 > 0:10:10on question three. Kevin has a chance.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13In Harold Pinter's play The Homecoming,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15what is the name of the brother
0:10:15 > 0:10:20who returns to the family home from his work as a lecturer in the USA?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26My initial... Hmm, I don't know, see.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30My initial thought was Lenny, but then...
0:10:32 > 0:10:37..I started to worry about getting confused with something else.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Erm...
0:10:39 > 0:10:44I really can't remember, so I think what I'll do is
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I will stick with my first instinct and say Lenny.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49OK. The answer is Teddy.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Ah. Sorry. OK, OK. - So, equal after three
0:10:51 > 0:10:53and, Alan, you got what Elliot didn't have,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- which is a little bit of a let-off there.- Come on, Al.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- So, press the advantage here. Sudden Death, Alan, OK?- Yeah.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Which play by John Osborne
0:11:05 > 0:11:09uses the life of a historical religious figure
0:11:09 > 0:11:11to explore, as he put it,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14"religious experience and various other things"?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I'd say the only thing that pops into my mind is Waiting For Godot,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22but I don't think that's by him anyway, so I don't know.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Waiting For Godot. - Yeah, it's not Waiting For Godot.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- The play is called Luther.- OK.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31So, the name of the religious person is the name of the play.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Kevin, to take the round. Sudden Death.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40In which decade did Andre Breton write the Surrealist Manifesto
0:11:40 > 0:11:43setting out the ideology of the movement?
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- Er, that was the 1920s. - Do you know exactly when?- '24.
0:11:48 > 0:11:501924. THEY LAUGH
0:11:50 > 0:11:52You don't even need to ask the decade.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53You can ask the year with Kevin.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Well, you've taken the round, grandmaster.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58So, sorry, Alan,
0:11:58 > 0:11:59been knocked out.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Come back to us, rejoin your teams and we'll see what happens next.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06OK, so, the Sadfellas have lost a second brain now
0:12:06 > 0:12:08from the final round.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Eggheads are still looking a little bit complacent.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12The next subject is History.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Joe, do you want to take that? - It's up to you, Jim.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- What do you reckon?- Yeah.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Well, I don't mind doing it, but do you want me for the last bit?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Oh, I see. Well, what's, tactically, the best thing to do?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- I'd put in Joe.- Put me in? - Yeah.- OK.- All right, Joe.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Who am I going to play against? - Joe against which Egghead?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- It can be either Barry or Pat or Dave.- Oof!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Barry.- There we are.- Barry?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38So, Joe from Sadfellas versus Barry from the Eggheads,
0:12:38 > 0:12:39known as The Brain.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Don't let that put you off.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- We've had a look at your History stats, Barry.- Oh, yes?
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- You've played 38.- Mm-hm. - Lost three.- Oh! Not bad.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- OK, so, Joe, would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Here we go. Good luck.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03What was the population of England and Wales
0:13:03 > 0:13:06at the time of the 1911 census?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I think it's a low number. I don't think it's quite high.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I think it was very low.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18So, I think six million.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21No, it was more than that, actually.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25I think six million would probably be kind of Stone Age, would it?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Oh, no, but further back. - When was this...?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Tudor times were about six million. - Tudor times. Right.- Yeah.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- So, it was 36 million.- Oh!
0:13:35 > 0:13:37OK, Barry, your question.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Which structure was originally built in London's Hyde Park
0:13:40 > 0:13:43before being transferred to Sydenham Hill,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46where it stood until 1936?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55It was built by Joseph Paxton for the Great Exhibition of 1851
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and it was the Crystal Palace.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Crystal Palace is quite right.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Back to you, Joe.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06The German pocket battleship the Admiral Graf Spee
0:14:06 > 0:14:09saw action in which of these battles?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm going to have to guess on this one.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Battle of the River Plate? - Barry, is he right?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24He is. I've actually been in Montevideo.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I've seen the gun turret of the Graf Spee.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28They have it on display there.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31There we go, Joe. You got it right.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Barry,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36which spouse of a British monarch was born in 1819
0:14:36 > 0:14:41in the Schloss Rosenau near Coburg in Germany?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Well, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon married George VI,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54so that's much later than that, so that can't be the case.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58And Princess Mary of Teck married George V, so that can't be the case.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01But Prince Albert, I believe, married Victoria in 1842,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05so he'd be about the right age, so I'll go for Prince Albert.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Yeah, nicely done. Prince Albert it is.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10So, Joe,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- you've got to get this right to stay in.- OK.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Which British social activist adopted a son
0:15:16 > 0:15:19whom she claimed was the messianic leader
0:15:19 > 0:15:22and reincarnation of the world teacher?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30HE SIGHS
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Josephine Butler?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Barry?- No, Annie Besant was a theosophist,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38and I believe, if I'm not mistaken,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41she adopted somebody called Krishnamurti,
0:15:41 > 0:15:47who she wanted to intend to be the leader of the world.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49So, I'd go for Annie Besant.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Annie Besant is right and the details are right, too, Barry.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Sorry, Joe.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55He's on good form in History.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59So, that's 39 History rounds and only three losses, Barry.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Return to us, please, and we will play the next round.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Eggheads, on the census,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09we had that first question - 36 million in...
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- What was it? 20th century? - 1911.- 1911, yeah.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- So, 1841, England and Wales - 16 million.- Oh, right.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Early 1700s, England and Wales - six million.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Oh, right.- Wow. - So, not as long ago as we thought.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Just a little bit off with the Tudors, then.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Yeah, the Tudors were... - 50 years off.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32So, the Sadfellas have lost three brains from the final round.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34You're going to have to do one of your videos, Elliot,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- at the end of all this.- Oh, I know. - THEY LAUGH
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Not yet. You haven't lost yet.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Eggheads are still sitting there just thinking, "Oh, we're the best."
0:16:42 > 0:16:45But you've got to stop them. Next subject is Music.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Who would like this?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Last one before the final, so this could be the moment.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- Will I do that, Jim? - It's got to be you.- Jim?- Jim.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Which Egghead would you like, Jim? - Pat's all right. Dave?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Dave, please.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Jim from the Sadfellas versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03And please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05But before we play Music, Jim,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07you should tell us about your role with NASA.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- Well, it wasn't actually NASA. It was a project for NASA.- Right.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16We made the detection unit for the SOHO Telescope.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19We also made bits for the Hubble Telescope.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23We made the detection unit that actually...
0:17:23 > 0:17:26It converts the signal the telescope sees
0:17:26 > 0:17:29to the pictures that NASA and other agencies produce.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Did you have the radio on while you were doing this?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- That's the key thing for the Music round.- Absolutely.- Good.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37You're up against Dave. Do you want to go first or second?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39First, please, Jeremy.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Your first question.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47The chorus of which Dolly Parton song contains the line,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49"Please don't take him just because you can"?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57As far... I'm pretty sure it's not 9 To 5,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I'm certain it's not Here You Come Again,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02so it must be Jolene.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Yes, Jolene. And, Lisa, come on, give it to us.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10# Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
0:18:10 > 0:18:13# I'm begging of you please don't take my man. #
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- Lovely.- Encore!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- And what a song. - That's a top, top song.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Did Dolly write that song? I've always wondered.- Yeah.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- Did she?- I think so, yes.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26OK, Dave.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Yeah.- In which decade were Michael Jackson singles
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Farewell My Summer Love
0:18:30 > 0:18:33and Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' first released?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Well, Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' is '80s cos it's from Thriller.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I thought Farewell My Summer Love was from an earlier...
0:18:46 > 0:18:48..genre because I thought it came from the '70s.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50But I'm going to have to go for...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's based on Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56That's from Thriller, so that's the '80s. 1980s.
0:18:56 > 0:18:591980s is quite right. Back to Jim.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Which former member of Supergrass released the album Matador,
0:19:03 > 0:19:07which was shortlisted for the Mercury Award in 2015?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Well, I'm pretty sure it's not Danny Goffey.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I would think it's Gaz Coombes.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Yeah, it's Gaz Coombes.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Dave.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Yeah.- Released in 1968,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Dance To The Music was a UK top ten hit
0:19:28 > 0:19:30for which soul and funk group?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- 1968?- '68.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I've got to go Sly & The Family Stone.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Sly & The Family Stone is right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Over to you, Jim.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The American musician Link Wray
0:19:48 > 0:19:51was renowned as an innovator on which musical instrument?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57That name's not familiar.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- I think it's harmonica. - Challengers, do you know?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- I would have said harmonica. - I would have said harmonica.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yeah, they all agree. It's guitar, though.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Guitar is the answer,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11so Dave has a chance now.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16The Great is the name given to which classical composer's ninth symphony?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Right, cos I'm just trying to think.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Cos I thought Schubert's eighth was his unfinished,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30so I could be wrong.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Hector Berlioz, not...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I'm going to go Pyotr Tchaikovsky, please.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Let's see if the Eggheads know this. Eggs?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- It's Schubert.- Schubert. - Schubert.- C major.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- So, was Dave right that the eighth was the unfinished?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46So, you're equal after three. We go to Sudden Death.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Jim, your first question. I don't give you alternatives.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Greased Lightning is a song from which musical?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55As far as I remember, it's sung about a hot rod
0:20:55 > 0:20:57and it's from the musical Grease.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Yes, of course. Grease is right.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Dave,
0:21:01 > 0:21:08which rapper was shot dead in the early hours of March 9th, 1997?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Got to go Tupac Shakur.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- No, you're wrong. Biggie Smalls.- Right, OK.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Otherwise known as The Notorious BIG.- OK.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22So, Dave, you're out. Well done. We've got a victory here for Jim.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25How about that? So, that's good, Jim.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26You'll be in the final,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29and if you come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It is time for the final round,
0:21:34 > 0:21:35which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:38 > 0:21:39won't be allowed to take part.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42So, that's Elliot, Alan and Joe from Sadfellas,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44but also Dave from the Eggheads.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Jim and Paul, you're playing to win the Sadfellas £5,000.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Kevin, Lisa, Pat and Barry,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03This time, they're all general knowledge.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07You are allowed to confer. So, Sadfellas, the question is -
0:22:07 > 0:22:11can you, with your two brains, defeat these fabulous four?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Would you like to go first or second?- We'll stick with first.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Your first question, Challengers. Good luck.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23What type of music most often featured
0:22:23 > 0:22:26on the 1960s television programme "Ready Steady Go!"?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- There's only one it's got to be, isn't there?- Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's got to be pop, hasn't it? So, we'll go pop.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Pop is the right answer.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Eggheads,
0:22:39 > 0:22:44a Sally Lunn is an example of what kind of food item?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Teacake, isn't it?- Teacake? - Go with teacake?- Absolutely.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Everyone happy with that? - Yeah.- Is she from Bath?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Yeah.- Yeah. - Yeah, she was a lady from Bath
0:22:54 > 0:22:57and it's a teacake named in her honour.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Didn't know this. I would have been embarrassed by this one.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Teacake's right.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Sadfellas, who would be
0:23:03 > 0:23:07most likely to create the type of carvings known as scrimshaw?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Well, scrimshaw is carving on things like whale tusks and teeth.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18So, that leaves out shepherds and foresters
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- and leaves us with sailors, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22So, we're going to go for sailors.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Sailors is right. Two out of two. Well done.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Back to you, Eggs.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Which football club played its home games
0:23:28 > 0:23:34at the Goldstone Ground between 1902 and 1997?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Why are you laughing, Kevin?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- I'm not laughing, no. It's Brighton.- I thought...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Oh, yes, you've said it. Yeah. - Then they moved to...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- That closed down and they moved to the Withdean Stadium...- Of course.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53..which was with athletics track attached,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56and there, they've got their own new purpose-built ground
0:23:56 > 0:23:58in the last couple of years. It's Brighton and Hove.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01We're going for Brighton and Hove Albion.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Brighton and Hove Albion is correct. So, two-two.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06OK, now the third question -
0:24:06 > 0:24:10the one that was the undoing of some of your colleagues.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14The O'Higgins Region is an administrative area
0:24:14 > 0:24:16of which South American country?
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- For me, it would be a total guess. Um...- It would be for me as well.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28It's not a word that I think I'm familiar with.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Not at all.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31We're just going to have to put this one on the line
0:24:31 > 0:24:33and have a total guess.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Erm, do you want to put one forward or do you want me to?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Well, what one would you go for? - I'd go for Chile.- Go with that.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Chile.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Chile is your answer. Are they right?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Yes.- Yes, you're right. Well done.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Three out of three. Now, you may not have to do any more for the £5,000.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- HE LAUGHS That may be it.- Please!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Eggheads, which American Republican politician
0:24:55 > 0:25:00was the unsuccessful vice-presidential candidate in 1976
0:25:00 > 0:25:06and the unsuccessful presidential candidate in 1996?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Bob Dole.- Bob Dole was the only one that ran for president.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Do we know whose VP he was? Somebody who lost, obviously.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Well, he was vice-presidential candidate in '76,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22so that would have been for Ford, so, um...
0:25:22 > 0:25:25But he was certainly the Republican candidate in '96.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Bob Dole?- Bob Dole.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Um, we're going for Bob Dole.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Bob Dole is correct.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34OK, so,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37three-three. Sudden Death. Final round.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41£5,000 to play for. I don't give you alternatives from here on in.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45What type of fine, lustrous silk
0:25:45 > 0:25:50takes its name from the Persian word meaning to shine or spin?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Nothing comes to mind straightaway for me.- No, nothing springs to mind.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- Just trying to think. - A silk that shines?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Was it a silk-like material? Cos that could be satin.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Could be.- Don't know.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- What do you think?- I don't know.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- We don't know. Sorry.- Sure you don't want to just take a stab?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Do you want to say...? - I can't think of anything, no.- OK.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17All right, so, you've passed? Eggheads, do you know?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Could it be taffeta? - Taffeta is the answer.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I know, if you'd thought of that,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23you'd have come straight out with it. Taffeta.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25So, Eggheads, if you get this right,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27the contest is over.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31What name is given to the rearmost lobes of the brain
0:26:31 > 0:26:35that contain the main visual centres?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Well, there's temporal, parietal and occitipal.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- Occipital.- Occipital. - The rearmost lobes?- Rearmost.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- That would be the occipital. - Frontal...
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I think temporal and frontal are at the top
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- and that means parietal and occipital...- Yeah.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56So, I think it might be occipital, but I'm not 100% sure.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I mean, they'd certainly be at the back.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Well, it's the occiput, isn't it?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Yeah, that's the phrase for the back of the skull.- Yeah.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07So, if we're actually talking about things that are called lobes,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10as opposed to something that are different...
0:27:10 > 0:27:13A different name but with a similar function, then...
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Maybe it's the visual cortex.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19That is supposed to be at the back of it, yeah.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Could it be something as simple as the visual cortex?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Is that one thing, though, Barry, or two?- Ooh, I don't know.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- But I think, on balance... - It's safer to go with...- Well...
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- ..occipital lobes?- I would think. - Try occipital lobes.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- I would think, but, yeah. - Right, happy?- Yeah.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37OK, we've had a bit of pondering here
0:27:37 > 0:27:40and we're going to go for the occipital lobes.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Yeah, I can accept that. Oxipital, ochipital.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47And we say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54You went through... Barry went through, brilliantly -
0:27:54 > 0:27:55who's had a storming day today -
0:27:55 > 0:27:58went through all the different parts of the brain
0:27:58 > 0:28:00and then we all kind of parked that and you talked about it
0:28:00 > 0:28:03and I thought, "Maybe you'll forget the occipital."
0:28:03 > 0:28:04But then you came back to it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07So, commiserations, Sadfellas. Sorry about that.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
