0:00:06 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Eggheads, are you quaking today? Yes. No. No?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I am. Not at all. Well, let's see.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today are
0:00:40 > 0:00:42a rather special team,
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Gonville and Quiz.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44This team of friends are all current
0:00:44 > 0:00:49or former students of Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Their quizzing accolades include
0:00:51 > 0:00:55University Challenge series champions, 2015 no less.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Everyone go ooh. ALL: Ooh!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Let's meet them.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Anthony and I'm a junior doctor.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Michael and I'm a researcher and journalist.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Roland and I'm a management consultant.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Ted and I'm studying to become a barrister.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Jeremy and I'm a chemistry PhD student.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16So, Anthony and team, welcome. Great to see you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Thank you very much. Well, it's impressive
0:01:18 > 0:01:19and I know they are quaking a bit
0:01:19 > 0:01:21because you won University Challenge?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We did, much to our surprise. Tell us what that was like.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27It was quite an intense experience, I think, for all of us.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31But obviously, we had Ted "Lovedata" to pull us through
0:01:31 > 0:01:33when we needed it in the final.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Yeah, can you practise for it,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37is it that kind of thing, or do you have to just go with what you know?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Oh, very much we practised for it, yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I think it varies from team to team.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I think some people take it quite casually
0:01:44 > 0:01:46but we certainly wanted to do our best.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48So, we put quite a lot of work into it.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I know you've since left the university
0:01:50 > 0:01:53but you're keen to get together and quiz again and here you are.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Yeah, we thought we'd get the band back together.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56And against these ones?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Is this harder or easier than University Challenge?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I think this is harder... Really? ..I would say, yeah. Be difficult.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Because you're actually playing directly against somebody?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Yeah, I think the nature of it.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09We're quite quick sometimes on the buzzer
0:02:09 > 0:02:12but maybe our overall breadth of knowledge isn't quite as good
0:02:12 > 0:02:16as these World Quiz Champions and Brains of Britain and so on.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Well, it's got the makings of a great contest.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Every day, there is ?1,000 worth of cash
0:02:20 > 0:02:21up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So, Gonville and Quiz, the Eggheads have won the last seven,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32which is rather good because it means ?8,000 is here
0:02:32 > 0:02:33for you to win today.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Would you like to try? Absolutely. Excellent!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Very quick on the buzzer.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Who would like this?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Hmm, what do we think, guys? Politics is...
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I think Rolie is strongest in politics, isn't he?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Yeah, could be Rolie. Do you fancy it, Rolie? I'll go for that, sure.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Roland? OK. Against which Egghead, Roland? Who do you reckon, guys?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Big questions. We'll try Chris. Chris? Yeah.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04What do you reckon? You can have final deciding say, if you want.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Might go for Barry. All right, fair enough. We'll go Barry.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09All right, good going. No obvious answer,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11no surprise that you struggled with that one.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Roland from Gonville and Quiz versus Barry the Brain from the Eggheads.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19please go to the famous Question Room now.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23So, Barry, you're a big University Challenge fan, aren't you?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Oh, I love it. I've watched it ever since its beginning
0:03:26 > 0:03:28and I've never missed an episode yet, I think.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Now, Roland, is politics your thing? It could be.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I know you guys are great players, so good luck
0:03:33 > 0:03:35and Roland against Barry on Politics.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Here is your first question, Roland. Good luck.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46What is the name of the seat upon which the Lord Speaker
0:03:46 > 0:03:48sits in the House of Lords?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Not entirely sure of this one.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I think woolsack doesn't sound quite right.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57I think of those three,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01clothsack is probably the one that springs to mind the most.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05It's just an inkling but I think I'm going to go for clothsack.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Let's see if your team-mates know. Guys? Woolsack.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Woolsack is the answer.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12OK, Barry. You may have to treasure this moment.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14You're ahead of the University Challenge team.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17For the first time, you're ahead. Here is your question.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Who was the UK's Prime Minister
0:04:18 > 0:04:21at the time of the Apollo 11 moon landing?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Apollo 11, that was 1969,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33so that's much too late for Clem Attlee
0:04:33 > 0:04:35and '69 is much too early for Margaret Thatcher,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37so it must be Harold Wilson.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Harold Wilson is correct.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42I stayed up all night to watch that, I remember. I was 17 at the time.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Tremendous. Harold Wilson is right.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44OK,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46back to you, Roland.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Which political figure has been married to Ivana Zelnickova,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Marla Maples and Melania Knauss?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I know that George Galloway has been married a couple of times,
0:04:59 > 0:05:00I don't think it's him.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02And Ivana Trump springs to mind.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06So, I think I'm going to go for Donald Trump.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Donald Trump is correct. Well done, Roland.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10OK, Barry, back to you.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Who became the MP
0:05:11 > 0:05:14for Westmorland and Lonsdale in 2005,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18ending a 95-year rule by the Conservatives?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I believe the MP for Westmorland is the leader of the Lib Dems
0:05:26 > 0:05:28and he's Tim Farron.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Tim Farron is quite right.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32So, let's see. He's ahead, Roland.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You've got to get this one right to stay in.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Where was the Labour politician J Keir Hardie born?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Right, so Keir Hardie. Obviously, Keir sounds quite a Celtic name.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I think I'm going to go with my first inkling,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50which was Scotland, so J Keir Hardie, Scotland.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Yeah, glad you did, Scotland is right. So, two out of three.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Can Barry take the round with three?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00What is the name of the most senior official of the UK House of Commons,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Barry, who advises the House on its practice and procedure?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Practice and procedures?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Well, the Serjeant at Arms, really, I believe is to do with
0:06:13 > 0:06:14the security of the house.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17So, it's between Clerk of the House and Black Rod.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I really don't know.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'm going to go for Clerk of the House.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Eggheads, is he right? Yes.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26You're right, Barry. Taken the round.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Sorry, Roland, been knocked out by our Egghead there.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Well played. Early days, though. Plenty of time to come back,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33University Challenge team.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Return to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38So, as it stands, Gonville and Quiz
0:06:38 > 0:06:41have lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44The Eggheads are still there but I think they're still quaking.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45The next subject is Music.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47So, who wants this?
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Yeah, so,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50not any of our favourite subject, I think,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52but by default, it's going to be me.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54OK, Anthony, our junior doctor.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Against whom? Anyone except Barry.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Can try Dave. Try Dave on Music.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02So, Anthony from Gonville and Quiz
0:07:02 > 0:07:04versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Music the subject and the Question Room the place.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Please go there now.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So, you're a junior doctor now, Anthony? I am, yes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Working in London at the moment.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Right, at 25, you're meeting patients who are 75 and 85.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I think 101 is the oldest patient I've had so far. Really?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24And they're OK about being treated by a 25-year-old?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I've not had any official formal complaints yet.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28You enjoying it?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31It's fantastic, it's a great job. I'm loving it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Good, well, good luck with that and you're on Music against Dave,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37who loves the early '80s, by the way.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Would you like to go first or second? First, please.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45And here we go with your first question.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Which of these composers started to go deaf in his mid-20s?
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Erm, OK, so I think famously it was
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Beethoven that was deaf,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03which is one of the reasons he's so revered.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I believe it's Beethoven.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Beethoven is correct.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Dave,
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Blow The Man Down and Haul Away, Joe are examples of what type of song?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Er, I think they're sea shanties.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Yeah, what kind of band would do them? You know any of those bands?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Probably something Coldplay would get into, I don't know.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Fisherman's Friends, I was thinking of, Dave,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31who had a team on Eggheads, I think, a few years back. Yes.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Anthony,
0:08:32 > 0:08:36When We Were Young was a 2015 UK hit single for which singer?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Er, so yeah, obviously more contemporary music
0:08:43 > 0:08:45is less of a strong point for me.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I know Adele had an album in 2015
0:08:47 > 0:08:49and there was a single called Hello off that.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51So, I guess it could be either of the other two.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Ellie Goulding I think had an album as well, called Delirium.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I don't know anything about Ella Eyre but on the basis that
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Ellie Goulding definitely had an album in 2015,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I guess I'll go for her, please.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Yeah, Dave, what do you think? I don't know.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I probably would have gone Ella Eyre but...
0:09:06 > 0:09:07I would have gone Ella Eyre. Barry knows.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It's Adele. Adele! No.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12As well as Hello, she had When We Were Young.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14OK, your question, Dave, to take the lead.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Which of these is the title of an album
0:09:16 > 0:09:18by the jazz musician John Coltrane?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Let It Bleed's a Rolling Stones one.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Now,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32I thought Kind Of Blue was Miles Davis, I could be overthinking this.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I did think it was Miles Davis. I've got to go with Love Supreme.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Yeah, actually, Love Supreme is right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40And if you were working on no information,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43you might have gone the other way, so, that's a good answer.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Anthony, to catch up, you need this question.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Absolutely.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51Innervisions is an acclaimed 1973 album by which singer?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Innervisions, which is all one word.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Erm, not 100% sure.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Obviously could feasibly be any of them, I think.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08If I was going to go for an answer, I guess I'd go Stevie Wonder.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10You got it right. Yeah, thought, yes. That was good. Yes.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Was that just a sense, an inkle?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14No, I think I have heard of that album,
0:10:14 > 0:10:15although I've not actually heard it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Yeah, so if you get this right, Dave, you're in the final.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Mm-hm.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Which of these composers died at the age of 36 from a heart attack?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Didn't think Wagner and Tchaikovsky were that young
0:10:28 > 0:10:31but I haven't heard this about Bizet at all.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35But just on the basis that I didn't think those two were...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39..that young,
0:10:39 > 0:10:40I'm going to go Bizet.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Is he right, Eggs? Yes.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45You're right. Bizet it is.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Sorry, Anthony. Never mind.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That one wrong answer so costly, it's not...
0:10:49 > 0:10:50I don't think University Challenge
0:10:50 > 0:10:52is as brutal as this.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Get one answer wrong and you get ejected. I'm so sorry, I feel bad.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Those are the rules. We'll see what happens next.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Come back to us, please, and we'll play on.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Well, we might call this
0:11:02 > 0:11:04an unfortunate turn of events at this stage.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Gonville and Quiz have lost two brains from the final round
0:11:08 > 0:11:10and I know you're saving the artillery for...
0:11:10 > 0:11:13This is all part of the plan. Yes, I thought it might be.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15The Eggheads are still sitting there, all five of them.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18They're starting to look a bit smug. So, you need to change that.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Sport is the subject now.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Who would like Sport?
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Go with Jez or me? Want me to go?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Jez or Taylor, yes. Shall we have? Shall I go. Jeremy.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30OK, good to have a Jeremy in. Against which Egghead?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33You can have either Chris or Judith or Kevin.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Can we just try Chris? Yes, let's try Chris.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38We will play Chris, versus Jeremy on Sport, please.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Fine, so it is Jeremy from Gonville and Quiz
0:11:40 > 0:11:42against Chris from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Please go to the Question Room.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Sport, Jeremy. Would you like to go first or second? First, please.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Here's your question.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59In 2015, Peter Moores left his job as coach of the England team
0:11:59 > 0:12:02in which sport for the second time?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07OK, I immediately thought cricket when this came up.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09It's definitely not football. I'm going to go cricket.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Cricket's right, well done. Chris.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Cannon and Long Jenny are terms commonly used in which sport?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21You look as if you know. Mm-hm.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Well, it's not a game you hear much of these days but it's billiards.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It is billiards, yeah.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Your question, Jeremy.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31In 2015, who became the first boxer
0:12:31 > 0:12:34to have won both an Olympic gold medal for Great Britain
0:12:34 > 0:12:36and a professional world title?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45OK, so I'm sure that Audley Harrison isn't still boxing.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47If he is, I'm sure it's not at the highest level.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Tyson Fury has been in the media a lot.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52But I don't think, I'm not sure
0:12:52 > 0:12:54whether he was sort of amateur in the Olympics.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58I know James DeGale was in the Olympics and he's surely been
0:12:58 > 0:13:01doing some big boxing recently, so I'm going to go with James DeGale.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04It's James DeGale, you're right. Well done. Thanks.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06OK, Chris.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Kelly Brown has captained which country's men's rugby union team?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Do you have the name again please, Jeremy? Kelly Brown.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18K-E-L-L-Y? Yes. It's got to be Ireland.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Ireland is wrong. Scotland is the answer.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Oh, well. Gives you the initiative, Jeremy.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Get this right, Chris is out.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Which rugby league player was included on the shortlist
0:13:26 > 0:13:31for the 2015 BBC Sports Personality Of The Year award?
0:13:35 > 0:13:40I'm 95% sure about this and I think he came in the top three.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Possibly second, probably third.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I know he's a bit of a legend in the sport.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I think it's Kevin Sinfield. Challengers, is he right?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Yeah, absolutely. Yes, Kevin Sinfield is right.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Not only that, you're through to the final, Jeremy. Well done.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Maybe things are turning towards Gonville and Quiz here.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Chris, you've been knocked out.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Return to your teams, please, and we'll see what happens next.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06OK, so Gonville and Quiz are just starting to rev the motor here.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08They have lost two brains from the final round,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10the Eggheads have now lost one.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Things are turning. Are they? Let's see.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Geography is the subject.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Who wants this?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Which of the two of us is better on geography?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Michael is better at geography. But I cover more of the other bases.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Which would we rather have? Is there a big gap? Not really.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I'll do it. OK, well... And Judith. Yep.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Michael? I'm going to go.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32OK, Michael our journalist, against? Judith.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33All right, Judith.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36So, Michael from Gonville and Quiz and Judith from the Eggheads
0:14:36 > 0:14:40compete on Geography for the last round before the final.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Please take your positions.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Now I know your thing is sports journalism, Michael.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50It certainly was, once upon a time. OK, so what are you working as now?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I had been working as a researcher in London but at the minute,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I'm in Ireland and I'm preparing a documentary on rugby.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Interesting. Well, good luck with that and good luck with this
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and it's Geography and would you like to go first or second, Michael?
0:15:02 > 0:15:03I will go first, please.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11What colour is the X-shaped cross of the national flag of Scotland?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Unless I'm having a complete mind blank,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I think it's a white cross on a blue background.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20So, the cross is white.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22The cross is white, well done.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25That could go wrong, filming in Glasgow.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Have you smuggled out if you got that wrong.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Judith, your question. Geography.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Which of these countries is the largest by area?
0:15:31 > 0:15:32(Oh, no!)
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Well, Andorra is a tiny little thing in the Pyrenees.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Portugal is definitely smaller than Spain,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44so Spain is the largest by area.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Spain is the right answer, well done. Yes. OK, Michael.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Until 1991,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51what was the capital of Nigeria?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I don't know, the capital at the minute is Abuja
0:15:57 > 0:16:00and people often think it's Lagos because it's the biggest city.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I don't know that it's either Kaduna or Port Harcourt,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06so I'm going to guess Lagos on the basis that the biggest city
0:16:06 > 0:16:08might well have been the capital until then.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Yeah, that's absolutely right, the logic is right.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12If it had been either of the other two,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14it would have been an absolute stinker.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16OK, Judith.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20What is the largest lake or loch in the British Isles?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I'm not quite sure. I think it might be Lough Neagh.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Lough Neagh.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Let me check with you, Michael, because you've got Irish background.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Lough Neagh is the biggest freshwater lake
0:16:35 > 0:16:36in this part of the world.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I don't know about generally.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Lough Neagh is right. Oh! Well done.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43So, you both have two. Here is your third question.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Michael, Williamsburg is a fashionable neighbourhood
0:16:47 > 0:16:49within which borough of New York?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I don't know again.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Erm, going on the basis that Long Island might be
0:16:57 > 0:17:00slightly more fashionable, I'm going for that.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02This is a guess but I think it might be Long Island.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Any of your colleagues know? Jeremy? Yeah, it's Brooklyn.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Yeah, it's Brooklyn.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Williamsburg is in Brooklyn,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10so you've got two out of three.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11If Judith gets this right,
0:17:11 > 0:17:12she's in the final round.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Judith, what is the highest mountain in Austria?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Oh, dear, I'm very bad at this kind of thing.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Erm, I'm trying to think where the Eiger is.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I think it might be the Eiger.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I'm hoping the Eiger's in Austria
0:17:34 > 0:17:37because it's the only mountain out of those three I've heard of,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39therefore I think it must be the biggest.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I think you've heard it because it was in a famous film. Eggheads?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Grossglockner. Grossglockner, they all say. Oh.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47That's the answer. All right, so it's equal after three.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Bit of a let-off
0:17:48 > 0:17:50for you, Michael, we go to Sudden Death.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Michael, what is the name of the river that runs through
0:17:55 > 0:17:58the south Yorkshire town of Doncaster?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03You know, I don't know. The Aire.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05The A-I-R-E, I hope that's in Yorkshire.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Eggheads, the Aire, where is that?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09That's through Leeds. Through Leeds!
0:18:09 > 0:18:12The Don is the answer. Well, that would make sense.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14OK, Judith, for the round.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20Which Italian resort was known as Portus Delphini to the Romans?
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Portofino.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Portofino is correct, you're in the final.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Sorry, Michael, been knocked out on the Don
0:18:25 > 0:18:27and you won't be in the final round.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29We've run out of head-to-heads, going to play the final next.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Come back to us and we'll do it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36It is time for the final round,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:18:40 > 0:18:42won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46So, Anthony, Michael and Roland from Gonville and Quiz
0:18:46 > 0:18:48and also Chris from the Eggheads,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50would you please now leave the studio?
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Ted and Jeremy, you're playing to win ?8,000 for Gonville and Quiz.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Barry, Judith, Kevin and Dave,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03which is the Eggheads' reputation and to keep this streak going.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10You are allowed to confer.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12So, Gonville and Quiz,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16the question is are your two brains able to defeat these four?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Good luck, Ted and Jeremy, and would you like to go first or second?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Can we go first please, Jeremy?
0:19:24 > 0:19:25All the best,
0:19:25 > 0:19:26here's your question.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Which song by Flanders and Swann contains the lines,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32"Mud, mud, glorious mud,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34"nothing quite like it for cooling the blood?"
0:19:40 > 0:19:42You know this? I have no idea.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Well, I think I know this because my grandad used to sing it to me
0:19:45 > 0:19:46and my brother.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49And I think it's the Hippopotamus Song. Sounds good.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Cool, can we go for Hippopotamus Song, please?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Hippopotamus Song is quite right. Nice one.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Eggheads.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58How old was King Edward VIII when he came to the throne?
0:20:02 > 0:20:051936. When was he born? It was 19... Who was before?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07It was 1936 when he came to the throne
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and he was born in the mid-1890s.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Right, 41. 41, then. OK?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Yeah, we're happy with that.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Well, he obviously was quite short-lived as monarch.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22That was in 1936 and he was born in,
0:20:22 > 0:20:23I think, 1894.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26So, that would make it 41.
0:20:26 > 0:20:2741 is right.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29OK, your question.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Flexing or bone-breaking, as it is also called,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35is an emerging form of what?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Does it ring a bell to you at all?
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Not like...
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Immediately I thought of some sort of dancing,
0:20:43 > 0:20:44when he said flexing.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Bone-breaking could imply parkour,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50because they're jumping off buildings. Mm-hm.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I can see you'd have forms of street dance. Yeah, maybe.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Would you have forms of parkour? I mean, from what I've seen...
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Parkour is running through... Running through buildings and...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01So, you're really feeling street dance?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03No, I mean, not with any confidence.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I think we could go with your instinct.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Because we reckon it's 50-50.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Shall we go for street dance? Yeah, sure.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Can we go for street dance please, Jeremy?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Street dance is right, well done. Well done. Thanks.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18So, I'm getting the impression of a tight final here.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20This could go either way.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Your question, what is the world's largest land carnivore?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Must be a polar bear. Polar bear is enormous.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35They are huge. Land carnivore. Obviously, it's not going to be...
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Counting its coat.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39They can be up to 10ft tall if they stand on their hind legs.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Bengal tigers are typically about 400lbs
0:21:42 > 0:21:44but a polar bear must be well over 1,000.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's not even the biggest tiger.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Siberian tigers are bigger than Bengal tigers. Yeah, so...
0:21:50 > 0:21:52We think that is the polar bear.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It is the polar bear.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56So, two each. Back to you.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Challengers, get this right and that may be all you need to do today.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Sunset Song, once voted Scotland's favourite book,
0:22:05 > 0:22:06is a work by which author?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Thoughts? I haven't heard of the book or really...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'm afraid nor have I. Do you know the author as well?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23It will probably be... No, I don't know any of them!
0:22:23 > 0:22:24And I haven't heard of Sunset Song.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27That's really bad. One of Scotland's favourite books.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Does Lewis Gibbon sound, Lewis Grassic Gibbon, does that sound...?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35You're looking for one that sounds Scottish. Yeah.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39You're feeling Lewis. I don't know why. Your instinct was right before.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41We have no idea, do we? Your instinct was right before,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43so I think we've just got to throw all in. All right.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46OK, we're going to go for Lewis Grassic Gibbon, please. OK.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48With a heavy heart.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50This is 1932, this book.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53It was remade as a movie in 2015,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55so hence it's not as obscure as all that.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57And let's check with the Eggs, do you know?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Yes, it is, it's Lewis Grassic Gibbon.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01You got it right! Very well done.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Three out of three, great play!
0:23:03 > 0:23:06With no information at all. THEY LAUGH
0:23:06 > 0:23:09There we go, they've done three out of three on you.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Tightening the screw. ?8,000 they're playing for.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14If you get this wrong, they've won it.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Here's your question, Eggheads.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Who directed the dark British comedy film Kind Hearts And Coronets?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28That's... Charles Crichton comes to mind.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29No, I'm...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I'm reasonably sure it's Robert Hamer.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33OK.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I always bow to you on this subject.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38They all worked on Ealing films. Hmm.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42They all did, and Alexander Mackendrick did The Ladykillers
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and Charles Crichton did various other things
0:23:45 > 0:23:48but I think Kind Hearts And Coronets was Robert Hamer. OK.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I'm not 100%.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53But I haven't got anything. Not going to argue with you, Kevin.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Not going to argue.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56OK? Happy with that.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00I hope I'm not having one of my mental blips here but they're all
0:24:00 > 0:24:03directors associated with the great days of Ealing.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05But I think the one that directed
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Kind Hearts And Coronets was Robert Hamer.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09You got it right, Kevin.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Robert Hamer is the answer. Well done.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Three out of three, so ?8,000 you're playing for.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14You're still very much in it.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17We go to Sudden Death, it becomes a bit harder now
0:24:17 > 0:24:19because I don't give you alternatives, guys, OK?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22The Major General's Review and the Colonel's Review
0:24:22 > 0:24:26are the two rehearsals for which annual royal ceremony
0:24:26 > 0:24:28held on Horse Guards Parade?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I'm thinking, the only thing that comes to mind
0:24:31 > 0:24:32is Trooping the Colour.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34What's the other things? Changing of the Guard.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38That's not on Horse Guards Parade. It's the Queen's Birthday.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42OK, sounds... We've got to go for it. OK.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Trooping the Colour, please.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Trooping the Colour is correct.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Nice one. Sudden Death.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49You get this wrong, they've won ?8,000.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Eggheads, The Two Ronnies' catchphrase was,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53"It's good night from me and it's..."
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Good night from him. It's good night from him.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Him. From him, yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Yeah, "It's good night from me and it's good night from him."
0:25:00 > 0:25:02"It's good night from me and it's good night from him."
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Of course, The Two Ronnies. Well done.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06OK, Sudden Death.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Which large-scale archaeological discovery
0:25:09 > 0:25:12that is now a World Heritage Site
0:25:12 > 0:25:18is situated about 20 miles outside Xi'an in China's Shaanxi province?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Do you know?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I think... Do you have an instinct? No, I don't.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24We were hoping China wouldn't come up but I do remember
0:25:24 > 0:25:30a friend of mine who went to China and specifically went to Xi'an.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Trying to think of the right way to phrase it.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I think it's the Terracotta Army, the Terracotta Warriors. OK.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It's under a mountain, I think.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Let's go for it, we've got nothing else. OK, here goes.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43The Terracotta Army. Terracotta Army is correct.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Nice one! You're playing really well.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Eggheads are pretending not to sweat.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Here's your question, Eggs.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Which Spanish football team is nicknamed the Azulgrana?
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Blue something? Azul is blue.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Yeah, obviously azul is blue.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04And I think grana refers to the sort of...
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Barcelona?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Barcelona. They play in red and blue.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10There we go, they're red and blue. The red and the blue stripes.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I can't quite remember what grana means. That's the thing.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Could it be from pomegranate? I think that's...
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Was it red, yes.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I think that's probably because it is a dark... Yeah, makes sense.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24But I think it is from pomegranate.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26So, it's dark red and blue.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Because that's Tunica, Tunica granatum is the...
0:26:29 > 0:26:31So, I think it should be Barcelona.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Yes, I think. I'll go with that.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Not 100% on this, we think it's Barcelona.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Yeah, nice bit of play by Barry there on the pomegranate.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Blue and scarlet is the translation of Azulgrana.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Barcelona is the right answer. Well done, Barry.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Sudden Death, ?8,000.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Here's your question.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Frank Gehry, designer of the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao
0:26:51 > 0:26:54and the Walt Disney Concert Hall was born in which country?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Is he American? Do you know anything about him?
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Have you been to Bilbao? I haven't been to the Guggenheim.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04But I mean, I've... I have read about him.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I think maybe North American. OK.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I think we should go for USA, personally. Right.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11We're going to go for USA.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12I'm afraid that's wrong.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It is close, it's Canada. Ah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16So, it's Sudden Death
0:27:16 > 0:27:18and you have a chance now to take
0:27:18 > 0:27:21the whole contest with this question.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25What name from the French for new novel was given to the
0:27:25 > 0:27:30experimental literature pioneered in the 1950s by, among others,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Alain Robbe-Grillet and Nathalie Sarraute?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Roman. It's nouveau roman.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Nouveau roman, that's the literal translation, new novel.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44In the same way that you had the New Wave in cinema.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Nouvelle vague, nouveau roman...
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Well, it is the literal translation. Yes.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51It's nouveau roman.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54If you've got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Nouveau roman is correct, we say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58you have won. Well played.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Yeah, you've got a lot more petrol in the tank, you guys, I can tell.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Yes. You pushed them very close indeed there.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12In the end, we're always waiting for a trip from the Eggheads
0:28:12 > 0:28:14and you played well, Eggheads, got to say.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21This winning streak continues, it's looking really good now.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the ?8,000.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26We will take that money and roll it over to our next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31If THEY can't beat you, I honestly wonder if anyone can.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:33 > 0:28:36have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38?9,000 says they don't.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Till then, good luck to our Challengers, and goodbye.
