0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:17arguably 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 pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads!
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- And you are ready?- Always!- Ready!
0:00:34 > 0:00:35You are ready, I can see!
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are Fresh CC.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42This friends and family team from Yorkshire and London have been
0:00:42 > 0:00:46brought together through their shared love of cricket, so let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm James, I'm a data scientist.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Barry and I'm an operations manager.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Mark and I am a business development manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Jim and I'm an editor.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Barry and I'm an insurance consultant.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03So, James' team, welcome. Good to have you here.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Not worried about this lot?
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Not at all. Well, actually, that's a lie!
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Very concerned. They're a very formidable team and this is our
0:01:13 > 0:01:15debut as a quiz team.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16We're a bit of an unknown quantity.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19We hope we've got enough to give them a good game.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Good stuff. And you know each other through what, relationships, family,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- friends, all that? - Yeah. Barry is my brother-in-law.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28The other three - school and
0:01:28 > 0:01:33a cricket team that we created - Fresh Cricket Club in 1995.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35It really is a means to keep in touch.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39We played 1995-2000.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41We haven't played since then.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43OK. But the team still exists
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- as an idea?- Yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48And in fact, we have got the odd game planned.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Now we've got children who are getting old enough to help us out a bit in
0:01:52 > 0:01:56the field. We've got a few games planned for the future.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59So what you're saying is, you want cricket to come up in the quiz today?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01We would love cricket to come up, yes!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Not everyone... I mean, there are people here who have got a blank on
0:02:04 > 0:02:06cricket. Who is blank on cricket?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Look at that, they never admit it!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I'm trying to smoke them out for you!
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23So, Fresh CC, they have won the last five games.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27I won't call it a roll - it's a streak at the moment.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30You can bring it to an end and win £6,000 if you do.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Would you like to try?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33We would love to try, please, Jeremy!
0:02:33 > 0:02:37OK. First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport!
0:02:37 > 0:02:39There we go. See, I told you I would do what I could.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41That's very lucky!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43So, I think...
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Barry, Barry W, you are the man for this.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Go for it.- Barry W, at the end.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52And I think...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55..Judith is the person we would like to take on, please.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Right, you will be popular with her!
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Sorry, Judith.- OK, so Barry W from Fresh CC versus Judith,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05who is now known as the sporty one from the Eggheads.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09To ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:03:09 > 0:03:10in the Question Room?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Well, Judith, if you were to win this round...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I would have got to 600!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Yes, you would have won 600 head-to-heads.- Yes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21As you know, records of the numbers you've lost have been mislaid!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Yes, you keep saying that, they clearly haven't!
0:03:23 > 0:03:25No, we don't know where they are.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Barry, you wouldn't want to spoil that, would you?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29I would love to spoil the party!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32So, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:32 > 0:03:39Fortune favours the brave, I would like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Here we go. What informal golfing term
0:03:41 > 0:03:44is often used to refer to the flagstick?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52I don't get to play anywhere near as much golf as I would like to.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Pretty sure the answer, though, is pin.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Pin is correct.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Judith. The Pakistani sportsman Mohammad Amir was suspended from
0:04:03 > 0:04:08which sport for five years in 2010 for match fixing?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- I think it's cricket. - There is the cricket question.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17And there's the cricket question!
0:04:17 > 0:04:20We got rid of cricket, we hope.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Cricket is right, well done.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Your question, Barry W.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30Which English football club was known as Boscombe FC between
0:04:30 > 0:04:321899 and 1923?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Well...
0:04:41 > 0:04:44My hometown and my supported club is Southampton,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48so I can say straightaway it is not Southampton.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Exeter and Bournemouth, certainly both on the south coast.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Boscombe is a town very close to Bournemouth, though,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59so for that reason my answer would be Bournemouth.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Brilliantly done, Bournemouth is right.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Judith. Which Australian rugby league club is part owned by the
0:05:06 > 0:05:08actor Russell Crowe?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Well, I have absolutely no idea.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Pure guess,
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Brisbane Broncos.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Do you know this one, Barry?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I would be guessing. - OK, any Challengers?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- ALL:- Yes. I think it's the South Sydney...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Yes, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Judith.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Oh, suddenly, that 600 is slipping away.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45So, if you get this right, you will take the round, Barry.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Sania Mirza and which other female tennis player
0:05:48 > 0:05:51ended 2015 ranked number one in
0:05:51 > 0:05:53the world in doubles?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm not aware of Maria Sharapova playing doubles.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I'm in the murky lands of guesswork,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14so I'm trying to give an as educated guess as possible.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Kim Clijsters...
0:06:16 > 0:06:21certainly took a long break from tennis to have children.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Martina Hingis was a very fine doubles player.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30It will have to be a guess but my guess would be Martina Hingis.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- ALL:- Well done. Well done.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Well done, you've got it right, it's Martina Hingis.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You've got three out of three. Sorry, Judith.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Spoilsport!- Not the day today, but the day will come.- Tomorrow.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Maybe on something else, like Arts and Books.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Yeah. If that ever happens!- OK.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Congratulations, Barry.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Please, both of you come back and we will play on.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54OK, so good start for our Challengers -
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Fresh CC have not lost any brains, the Eggheads have taken a hit already.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01The next subject is Arts and Books.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03James, who wants this?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I think we've got someone lined up for Arts and Books.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Is this me?- Jim.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Yes, you're our man.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- I'll give it a go.- And I think...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- take on Dave.- Right, you sound like you've got a plan.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Taking on Dave, are we?- We've done a bit of revision, Jeremy.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- OK, I'm impressed.- We've got a strong captain here!
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Jim from Fresh CC versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And to ensure there is no conferring,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29please go to our famous Question Room.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31So, Jim, you're an editor.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Yes, I am, yes. - And what do you edit?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- I edit a magazine for lawyers, all about intellectual property. - Oh, right, and what's it called?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40It's called Managing Intellectual Property.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43We have readers all over the world, cover, patents, trademarks, copyright,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- all that kind of thing.- That's what you might call specialist. - It's fairly specialist, yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49But a very interesting area.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52You learn a lot about innovation and technology and copyright and media,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54that kind of thing. It's pretty hot at the moment.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I don't think we have an intellectual property round
0:07:57 > 0:08:00in Eggheads. Although I suppose there are some intellectual properties
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- that this lot have got.- I think there's probably quite a lot of
0:08:03 > 0:08:05intellectual property in the Eggheads studio, isn't there?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Yeah, that's true enough. So, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'll take a chance and go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19OK, Jim. Which 19th-century writer had the middle name Makepeace?
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Erm, I think it was William Makepeace Thackeray.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It was indeed, well done.
0:08:32 > 0:08:39Dave. How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a book by which writer?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46More children's literature, oh joy.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Doctor Seuss.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Doctor Seuss is right.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Jim, your question.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Which Shakespeare character is described as a fellow of
0:08:54 > 0:08:57infinite jest, of most excellent fancy?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05So, I don't think it's Prospero,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09from The Tempest.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I am familiar with Midsummer Night's Dream, Bottom.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm not 100% sure but I'm leaning towards Yorick.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I think it's that speech in Hamlet where they are at the grave.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21So I'm going to say Yorick.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Yeah, I think you are right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Yorick is right.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Isn't the speech one of these misquoted things where we say,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31"Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well," but that was not the line?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- It's, "I knew him, Horatio". - "I knew him, Horatio."
0:09:34 > 0:09:36So, well done, Jim.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Could have gone wrong, there. Dave, your question.
0:09:39 > 0:09:46Which novel takes its title from a line in Elegy Written In A Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I don't think it's Sense And Sensibility.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I don't think it's The Turn Of The Screw.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00I'm going to go for Far From The Madding Crowd, please.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It is Far From The Madding Crowd, you're right.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04OK, Jim.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09Which poet, Jim, was called, "my little Portuguese," by her husband?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I don't know the answer to this.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I don't think Mary Shelley was primarily known as
0:10:19 > 0:10:23a poet, although she may well have written some poetry,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27so I'm going to rule her out, I think, although I may regret it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Of the other two,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34it could be either. I think I'm going to say Christina Rossetti,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Jeremy.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Is he right, Eggs? - No. It's Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Elizabeth Barrett Browning is the right answer.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It gives you a chance, Dave.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Get this right, you're in the final round.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Who was the co-creator with Tom Stoppard of the play
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Every Good Boy Deserves Favour?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Right. It's going to be a gamble.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02And unbelievably, I've read the play.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03But...
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Every Good Boy Deserves Favour.
0:11:08 > 0:11:15Every Good... E, G, B, D, F, which leads to a musical area.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19So I'm going to go Andre Previn.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21So, E, G, B, D, F is a scale on the piano, is it?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Yes. Something like that.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25No, it's the lines on a treble stave.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It helps you remember which notes you write on them.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29OK, thank you.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Lines on a treble stave, OK.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34And that leads you away from the two non-musicians?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Yes, it does.- OK.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Andre Previn is the right answer, Dave, well done, three out of three.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Sorry, Jim. I can see you are a good player as well,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44but you've been beaten by our Egghead.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Just that wretched Elizabeth Barrett Browning, you've got to blame her.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Come back to us, both of you, and we'll see what happens.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55OK, so Fresh CC have lost a brain now from the final round.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57The Eggheads have also lost one.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59This is evenly poised.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Game on.- Feeling nervous?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Yes, definitely! - The next subject is Science.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Who would like this?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Right. He might moan a bit here.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Barry, I think you're the man to take this.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17I'll take this.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I think we're going to take Kevin on.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Oh!- All, right.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27There was a little murmur on the Eggheads' side.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32"Oh", Like that. So, Barry C from Fresh CC versus Kevin from the E's.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I thought I'd just put it all down to letters now.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Any particular area of science that fascinates you most, Kevin?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Erm, I mean,
0:12:44 > 0:12:50I wouldn't classify science as being one of my main categories, really.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54But I suppose I would maybe pick astronomy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I am quite interested in that.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59OK, so we're on Science.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01We've got Barry versus Kevin here.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Barry C. Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:05 > 0:13:06I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11So, here we go, good luck.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16Which of these is a type of large seaweed growing in colder oceanic regions?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Right.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27To be honest, Jeremy, I've only heard of one of these.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I'm going to go for kelp.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Kelp is correct!
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Kevin. Which of these glands is located in the brain?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Well, the thyroid is in the neck
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and the adrenal is down near the kidneys.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51In the brain, it's the pituitary.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Do you know whereabouts it is?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Towards the front, basically.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Yeah, I think it's right up between your eyebrows.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Yeah.- On the inside, I should stress.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Yeah. So far.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Pituitary is right.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Barry C. Which mathematical term
0:14:05 > 0:14:08means a contest in which one person's
0:14:08 > 0:14:12loss is equal to the other's gain?
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Well, I really need James on this, being the mathematician.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm going to go for nil aggregate, Jeremy.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28OK. James, do you know the answer?
0:14:29 > 0:14:34I probably would have guessed zero sum, but I don't know the answer.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36It is zero sum,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40meaning overall nothing has changed.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Is it zero sum game or zero sum gain?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Eggheads?- I think it's a zero sum game.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47It's a zero sum game.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50The early chaps like von Neumann with game theory,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53they were very interested in these games where,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56you know, if someone wins, someone has to lose.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Is the whole of life a zero sum game, do you think?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Well, perhaps.- This is all getting very, very deep, isn't it?
0:15:01 > 0:15:02It's a bit philosophical, that.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04We get a bit philosophical at this stage
0:15:04 > 0:15:07of the game, everyone, just a heads up on that.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12OK, Kevin. By what term is the chemical linkage of chains of the
0:15:12 > 0:15:14same element known?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24OK, so a concentration could be something in, say, solution,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27something concentrated within something else.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Combination is...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Well, it does have some specific uses but I think a more general term
0:15:33 > 0:15:36for things simply being combined.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39But the word catena
0:15:39 > 0:15:41refers to chain structures.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Yeah, I'll have to say catenation.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Because catena means chains?- Yes.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Catenation is right.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I'm sorry, Barry, it's the way he plays!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- You have to get up pretty early to catch him out.- Phenomenal.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Bright and early.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Bright and early. So, get this right to stay in.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05The American scientist Joseph Licklider
0:16:05 > 0:16:08is famous for his work in the 1960s that
0:16:08 > 0:16:11led to the development of which technology?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Could you spell his name, sorry, Jeremy?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Yes, L-I-C-K-L-I-D-E-R.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Again, it's going to have to be a pure guess.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29I'm going to have to go for digital cameras, I'm afraid, Jeremy, yeah.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Yeah, I can see why you've gone for that.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Internet is the answer.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Oh, sorry, Barry.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38But he's hard to beat - Kevin.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40On any subject, and actually very good at science.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Kevin, you're in the final round.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48If you both come back to us, we will play the last round before the final.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So, the Eggheads just starting to assert a little bit here.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Fresh CC have lost two brains now from the final,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57the Eggheads have lost one. See if we can level it up now, James.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- We hope so.- OK.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Last subject before the final, Music?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- OK.- Is this you?
0:17:04 > 0:17:09No, I'm going to try and save myself to the end, whatever that means.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Mark is going to take it, I think.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14OK, Mark, against which Egghead?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17And you can have either Lisa or Pat.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I think we're going to try and
0:17:19 > 0:17:26- take on Pat.- All right, so Mark from Fresh CC versus Pat, the silent destroyer.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Any particular music you love, Mark?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I guess a bit of funk, a bit of Indy.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Also a little bit of classical as well.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42A broad spectrum.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Bit of funk, bit of indie, bit of classical, that's not a bad selection.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49What is the indie, roughly what period?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Early '90s, so Nirvana,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Red Hot Chili Peppers, that sort of stuff.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Sure. So would you like to go first or second on Music?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04So, here we go. Good luck, Mark.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) was a 1979 hit for which group?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12And it's Shake Your Body and then in brackets, Down To The Ground.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Erm, not really my era, unfortunately.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21But I'll say the Jacksons.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Yeah, it is the Jacksons.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31Pat, which group had a UK hit in 1985 with We Built This City?
0:18:36 > 0:18:41They informed us that Marconi plays the mambo, it was Starship.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45It was Starship. "We built this city on rock and roll", wasn't it?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- That's what they did.- Yeah, amazing.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49OK, Mark.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Somebody's Watching Me
0:18:52 > 0:18:56was a UK top-ten single for which singer in 1984?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I don't think it was Lionel Richie.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The only song that I know Ray Parker Jr
0:19:09 > 0:19:11sang was Ghostbusters.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14So I'm going to go with Rockwell.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Yeah, good play.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Rockwell is right.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Pat, what was the name of the record label founded by Frank Sinatra in
0:19:22 > 0:19:24the early 1960s?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Yeah, he did...
0:19:32 > 0:19:36..lots of work for CBS and for Capitol.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38But at a certain point, I think
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Frank took matters into his own hands
0:19:41 > 0:19:44and he set up Reprise and released
0:19:44 > 0:19:46some classic albums.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Reprise is right. So, 2-2.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Third question, Mark.
0:19:52 > 0:19:59By what alternative name is the instrument called the ocarina sometimes known?
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Erm, I'll admit that I don't know this one.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12I'll go with lady's fingers.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's really hard to guess, this one.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Do you know this, Pat? - I think it's the sweet potato.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19It is, but because of what it looks like, a sweet potato...?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Sort of like a potato with some finger holes.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23You blow into it and pleasing sounds come out.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- But it's a lumpy thing. - Is that what it is...
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's a large... It's like a bagpipe, is it, or what?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30It's not that big, it's the size of a large potato
0:20:30 > 0:20:32and it's generally made of ceramic or some similar material.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- There we go, sweet potato, Mark.- Oh.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Gives Pat a chance to book his place in the final.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Which French singer and songwriter had one of his biggest hits with the
0:20:43 > 0:20:471946 song La Mer, later recorded in English as Beyond The Sea?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- La Mer.- La Mer.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01First thought was Charles Trenet but I'm just double-checking.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04He was a favourite of my mother's.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06They're all capable of doing it.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Could it possibly be... I can imagine either of the others...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Maurice Chevalier certainly could
0:21:11 > 0:21:16knock out a song like that, La Mer.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I'm slightly troubled by Maurice Chevalier,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23but I think I'll go for Charles Trenet.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Charles Trenet. If you've got it right, you've taken the round.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Is he right, Eggheads?- Yeah.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Yeah, it was.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31He did La Mer.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Charles Trenet. Sorry, Mark, one slip and they're at you.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- They're all over it.- Absolutely.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Yeah, that's the way they play, I'm afraid.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Merciless. They only pretend to be polite.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Please come back and we'll see what happens in the final.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:53 > 0:21:56to take part in this round.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01So, Barry C, Mark and Jim from Fresh CC, and also Judith from the Eggheads,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04would you please leave the studio?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Well, James and Barry, you are playing to win Fresh CC £6,000.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Kevin, Dave, Lisa and Pat,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13you are playing for something which money cannot buy -
0:22:13 > 0:22:17the Eggheads' reputation. And to continue this really impressive streak.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24This time, they are all General Knowledge. You are allowed to confirm.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26So, guys, the question is,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30can your two brains defeat these four in a famous victory?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I think we're going to go first, Jeremy, please.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Here we go with your first question.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Good luck. What is the term for a person who makes candles?
0:22:49 > 0:22:54Well, I think I could definitely rule out cobbler.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Yeah, I'm pretty confident the answer is chandler.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yeah, that's where I was leaning as well.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04We're going to say chandler, Jeremy.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Chandler is right.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09What's a currier? We know a cobbler does shoes, but currier, Eggheads?
0:23:09 > 0:23:10- Horses.- Person who brushes a horse.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Horses. Your question, Eggheads.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19Which of these is a phrase that refers to using your own legs as a
0:23:19 > 0:23:22means of transport?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Shanks's pony.- Shanks's pony, kids?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Yeah. Shanks's pony.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Shanks's pony, Jeremy.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I feel terrible I haven't heard of this.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Because you spend a lot of time on your bike, Jeremy.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- You don't walk anywhere. - No, yeah, walk and bike.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41We're going on Shanks's pony means we're going to walk?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- Yes.- OK. I'm going to start using it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I'm going to bring it back.
0:23:46 > 0:23:471-1.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Fresh CC, which actor released the 2015 album Murdah Loves John?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Murder is M-U-R-D-A-H.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I don't have a clue on this one.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06This is out of my comfort zone.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09If it's murdah, murdah,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13I'm wondering if it's a bit gangsta and whether it's Danny Dyer.
0:24:15 > 0:24:22Idris Elba, of course, he's got some pretty rough edges to him as well,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24so would he say "murdah"?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I have no idea.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I'm going to go on your logic here, Barry.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Back into the depths of guesswork,
0:24:33 > 0:24:38but Danny Dyer would be the one that I'd lean towards.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I think the answer is that we don't fully know, Jeremy,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45but we're going to guess Danny Dyer.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Danny Dyer is your answer.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I'm not sure whether he's got a musical thing.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Idris Elba is a DJ when he's not acting.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Is this a DJ-style album?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Anyone know about it? - I'd have guessed at him,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01just because of his musical career, if you like.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04And the murdah, maybe that goes back to him in The Wire and all that.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Is Luther not John Luther as well?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Is that right? Did I make that up?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's possible, yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15He is John Luther, so Murdah Loves John goes to Luther, to Idris Elba,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20Challengers. Sorry. So the Eggheads have a chance to take the lead with
0:25:20 > 0:25:25their second question. The furniture designer and maker Thomas Chippendale
0:25:25 > 0:25:29who wrote the book The Gentleman And Cabinet Makers'-Director was born in
0:25:29 > 0:25:32which century?
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- I thought it was 18th.- Just thinking about an actual birth date.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I think it's... I think it's coming back to me.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48- OK. Go on.- Well, I think the book was published in about, erm,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51the guide was published in 1754.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Uh-huh.- Maybe.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59And the dates that have popped into my head are,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I think, 1718-79.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03OK.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05So that should be...
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I hope I'm not mixing him up with
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Sheraton or one of the other furniture makers.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Yeah.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13But that's what popped into my head.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Yeah, makes sense. - So 1718, I think, is the
0:26:16 > 0:26:18birth year.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I'm inclined to
0:26:20 > 0:26:23go with you. OK. I think it's too early to be in the 1600s,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25and I think it's too late for that.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- OK.- I'd go with that.- 18th century.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28- Yeah.- OK.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Ashman's Almanac has dates in the 1700s for Thomas Chippendale,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34so we'll go with 18th.
0:26:34 > 0:26:3718th century is correct.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40All right, you've got to get this one right.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Which of these US states has no coastline?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I think Mississippi has a coastline.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yeah.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58So it's between Alabama and Tennessee.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Picturing Tennessee, Tennessee is
0:27:01 > 0:27:06- long and thin...- Yeah.- But does it reach the coast on the east?
0:27:08 > 0:27:13My gut feeling is Alabama, but it's only a gut feeling.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17I'd say that would be my gut feeling is well.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I can't think which coast Alabama would be on.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Yeah, I'm happy with that.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26We are going to guess, slightly better than a guess,
0:27:26 > 0:27:31but it's definitely a gut feel for Alabama, Jeremy.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Alabama is your answer.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36If you've got this one wrong,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38then the Eggheads have won, cos there's no way back.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Are they right about the shape of Tennessee?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- They are, yes.- Long and thin.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Yeah. It's long east-west. - And it's long east-west.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48So where does it slot in, then?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Above Mississippi and Alabama.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53That's the trouble. Mississippi and Alabama are on the coast
0:27:53 > 0:27:55and Tennessee is above them.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58So we have to say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59You have won.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Played well, guys.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09They're on very good form at the moment, actually.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Very impressive.- The Chippendale dates moment...
0:28:11 > 0:28:16- Fantastic.- So commiserations, Fresh CC, thanks for playing.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them - most of the time, anyway,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22and this winning streak continues.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25I'm afraid this means the Challengers don't go home with the £6,000,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Eggheads, congratulations. You will never be beaten.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32I'm certain of it now.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:35 > 0:28:38to finally defeat the Eggheads. £7,000 says they don't.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Till then, thanks for playing.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Goodbye.
