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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:37are Trouble at t'Mill from Lancashire.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, this team of colleagues all work together
0:00:39 > 0:00:41at Bolton Lads & Girls Club.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Paul and I'm an external funding manager.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Jackie, I'm a finance officer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Kim and I'm an NCS recruitment officer.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Katherine and I'm a mentoring coordinator.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Suneet and I'm a senior administrator.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- So, Paul and team, welcome. Great to see you.- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03So I must ask you about Bolton Lads & Girls Club.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04What's it all about, Paul?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Well, it's one of the largest and oldest youth clubs in the country,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09established in 1889.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And originally was for the young lads working in the cotton mills
0:01:13 > 0:01:15that were in Bolton.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19And we now offer a seven-day-a-week service providing a whole range of
0:01:19 > 0:01:21activities for young people in the town.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24OK. So the "Mill" bit of your team name refers to the sort of
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- history of the club?- It does, yes.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Yes.- And it's a very good Northern phrase.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30We're very proud of being Northern.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Well, how wonderful.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34They always say that there aren't enough youth clubs around any more,
0:01:34 > 0:01:35so this is good.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- This is important.- Absolutely.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39They'll be watching today, won't they? I'm assuming.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Oh, they will, yes.- OK. Well, good luck to you.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Are you quizzers?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Not in this format, but members within the team
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- have done some quizzing before. - All right.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- But this is our first outing as a quiz team.- Great.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Well, let us hope that it is lucky number one.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:56 > 0:01:57for our Challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, Trouble at t'Mill, the Eggheads have done rather well.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06They've won the last eight games.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09They've had their moments. So there's £9,000 to win.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Right.- How's that?- Great.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Would you like to go for it? - Absolutely.- ALL:- Yes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Music.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Who wants this?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Who did we decide?- I think it's Jackie.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- I think I said I'd do Music.- Yeah.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25We have to hope it's a genre I'm comfortable with.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Yeah, you'll be fine.- I'll go for Music.- Yeah, you'll be great.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Jackie, finance officer, on Music against which Egghead?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Who do you think? - I'm thinking about Kevin.- Kevin?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- I think I'd just like to go up against Kevin.- Go for Kevin. Yeah.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- I think I'd just like to go for... Yeah.- Yeah. Great.- All right.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- I'm being ambitious.- That can work, actually.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Kevin sometimes takes a couple of rounds to get warmed up,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48doesn't expect this,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50and we've seen him knocked off his perch a couple of times.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So good luck, Jackie, from Trouble at t'Mill,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59please take your positions in the famous Question Room.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Well, Jackie, I know you leapt at Music because you love music.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- That's right.- Tell us what you love.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I'm quite a bit of a rock chick on the side.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Really?- Yeah.- You and I are roughly the same age, so is it, what,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Indie music in the '80s or '70s, Pink Floyd and stuff?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Yeah, '70s, Pink Floyd. I saw Roger Waters, the world tour,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20a couple of years ago.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I think probably the best gig I ever went to was Rammstein.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25That was brilliant. They really do know how to rock a show.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Now, Rammstein I don't really know at all. Who are they?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29They're a German band.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- OK.- Yeah.- Is that German punk or...?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34It's German heavy metal.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- OK. Your AC/DC and all that, then? - Yeah.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40I've got a very broad taste in music but that was properly my first love.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Good luck in this round then, Jackie.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44You can choose whether you want to go first or second.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50And here we go.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53The US actor and singer Gene Autry was a famous name in
0:03:53 > 0:03:56the 1930s in what style of music?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I've heard the name
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and I don't think it's reggae.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08And I'm not altogether sure what bubblegum pop is.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I'm going to go for country and western.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I have definitely heard of the name.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Yes, bang on. Country and western is correct.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Brilliant.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Kevin, your question.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22What name is given to a musical composition where a minimum
0:04:22 > 0:04:26of three voices sing exactly the same melody but each beginning
0:04:26 > 0:04:27at different times?
0:04:30 > 0:04:36The idea being that the rhythm goes round and round.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37So it's a round.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It is singing in a round. You're right.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Jackie, according to a title of a single
0:04:43 > 0:04:47release by the rap group Public Enemy in 1990,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49what telephone number is a joke?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I don't know this. I've heard of the group.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00And as I think they're an American group...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04..I'm going to go with 911.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It is a guess but I'll go with 911.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Yeah, 911 Is A Joke, which is their 999, isn't it?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11- Yeah.- That's the correct answer.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14OK. Kevin,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18which singer left Splott Secondary Modern School
0:05:18 > 0:05:21at the age of 14 in 1951?
0:05:25 > 0:05:30Right. OK. Splott is an area of Cardiff.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33These are all Welsh singers.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Bonnie Tyler's too young.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones aren't far apart in age.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43But 14 in 1951 would take it back to about 1937.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47And I don't think Tom Jones was born until the 1940s,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49just into the 1940s.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Whereas Shirley Bassey is a few years older.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So I will say Shirley Bassey.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Shirley Bassey is the right answer.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Well done. OK.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Your question, Jackie.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04David Bowie appears with a lightening bolt
0:06:04 > 0:06:07painted across his face on the cover of which album?
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I can see the album cover in my mind and I do love David Bowie.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I don't think it's Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps).
0:06:19 > 0:06:23It's either Space Oddity or Aladdin Sane.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25PAUL SPEAKS INAUDIBLY
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I'm going to go with Aladdin Sane.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I'm so glad you did. You're right.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Brilliant. Well done.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34OK, Kevin, to stay in against Jackie, your question.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37The final studio album by Oasis
0:06:37 > 0:06:43before their 2009 split was entitled Dig Out Your... what?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Well, I may be wrong entirely here, but the one that's sort of
0:06:51 > 0:06:53not leaping out at me exactly,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56but the one that I have an instinct for there is Soul.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58So I'll go for Soul.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Do you know this one, Jackie?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I don't actually know it but something's telling me it's Heart.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06- It's actually Soul.- Oh, right.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So Kevin has got three as have you.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12So we go to Sudden Death. And that means it gets a bit harder, Jackie.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I don't give you alternatives.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15- Are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Which Michael Jackson song contains the lyrics,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21"What about elephants? Have we lost their trust?"
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Now, I do recall the song.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Let me just think to get the name right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30What is it? It's something...
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Something like planet...
0:07:36 > 0:07:39..life or Earth, something like that.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Earth Song.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Earth Song's right. Well done.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44OK. To stay in,
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Kevin, your question.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49"Wouldn't it be nice to get on with me neighbours?" is the first
0:07:49 > 0:07:53line of which 1968 UK number two single?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It doesn't mean a thing, that one, I'm afraid.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Sounds as though it's some kind of novelty song,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03although not necessarily.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Can't think of anything.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Nothing at all is coming, I'm afraid.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I think I'm going to have to throw my hands up on this one.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14It'll probably turn out to be something blindingly obvious
0:08:14 > 0:08:17when you give the answer, but I just can't think of anything at all.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I'm going to have to surrender, Jeremy, I'm afraid.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25I can't even think of a sensible answer.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27OK. So just to make sure, you're passing?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I'm passing, yes.- OK.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So the answer, if I sang it to you, you'd get it.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36# "Wouldn't it be nice to get on with me neighbours? #
0:08:36 > 0:08:41HE HUMS TUNE
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Nope, that didn't work either.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45# Lazy Sunday afternoon... #
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Oh, dear. Right. OK. It's a Kinks song.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- # And I've got no worries... # - Yeah, OK.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53No, it's The Small Faces, actually, but it's Lazy Sunday.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Anyway, well done, Jackie. You've done it.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57You're through!
0:08:57 > 0:09:01It's not Trouble at t'Mill any more, it's trouble at the Eggheads.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03All right. Come back to us. We'll play on.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07You'll have that going round your head now, won't you?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Well, a bit, yeah. It's a song, I do know it when I heard the answer,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13obviously, I know the song.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15But I wouldn't say it's a song I know especially well,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17so I wouldn't have come up with that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21OK. We did some birth dates, which I know you love, Kevin.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Oh, yes.- '37 was Shirley Bassey, you're absolutely right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Actually, Tom Jones was 1940.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Yeah, that's what I was thinking. - Very close.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29'40 was what I was thinking.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I couldn't quite make up my mind between '40 and '43,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33but I thought '40.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34So, well done, Jackie.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Trouble at t'Mill have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39The Eggheads have lost one brain.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42They've lost Kevin. So you've started well.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44The next subject for you is Geography.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Who wants Geography?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Is that you, Paul? - I think that was me.- Yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- It was.- We were sort of going for Katherine,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53but we're holding Katherine back, aren't we, for the final?
0:09:53 > 0:09:54- Saving her.- Yeah.- OK.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Team captain?- Yes. I'll take Geography, Jeremy.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Who would you like? Anyone but Kevin.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Ooh. Um...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- It's your choice, Paul. - Your choice, you choose, you pick.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- I'll go for Pat.- OK.- OK. Pat, yep. - I'd like to go for Pat, please.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10OK, Paul, from Trouble at t'Mill
0:10:10 > 0:10:12versus Pat from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19So, Paul, Geography, first or second?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I would like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Here is your question. Which city is Pakistan's
0:10:26 > 0:10:29largest and principal seaport?
0:10:33 > 0:10:38With you saying seaport, I was drawn to Bangalore.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45I'm not sure Karachi is actually a seaport.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48So I think I will rule Karachi out.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I'm going to go with my instincts and go with Bangalore.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53OK. Let's check with the Eggheads.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54- Eggs?- Karachi.- Karachi.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Karachi, you say? So Karachi is on the sea, is it?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Yes, indeed. Bangalore is in India and Dhaka is in Bangladesh.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03OK. Bangalore is in India and Dhaka is in Bangladesh.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Oh.- So they're different countries.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- So the only one in Pakistan is Karachi.- Right.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08So Karachi is the right answer.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Pat, your question.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Which European lake is known in French as Lac Leman?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It straddles two countries.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It has places like Geneva and Lausanne on its shore.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27It's Lake Geneva.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Lake Geneva is correct.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31So back to you, Paul.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35The Texas city of El Paso stands on which river?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40OK.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I've actually been to the Mississippi
0:11:44 > 0:11:46and that's at New Orleans.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I know that's not too far away from Texas.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57Hudson is telling me Hudson Bay, which I think is much further north.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00And the Rio Grande,
0:12:00 > 0:12:01I'm thinking Brazil.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04So I'm going to go
0:12:04 > 0:12:06for Mississippi, please.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- It's actually the Rio Grande...- Oh.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12..which runs through Texas.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13So, Pat, your question.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15If you get this right, Pat, you're in the final.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Which island is separated from the mainland of North America
0:12:19 > 0:12:24by the Queen Charlotte, Georgia and Juan De Fuca Straits?
0:12:28 > 0:12:34Key West is in the Atlantic, below Florida.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Alcatraz, I think, is a rock in San Francisco Bay.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44But it's Vancouver Island, which is separated from British Columbia by a
0:12:44 > 0:12:47whole series of straits and waterways.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Vancouver Island.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51The correct answer is Vancouver Island.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53So we say, Pat, well done. No way back for you, Paul.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Sorry, just the wrong questions for you.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- They were.- Not to worry.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Still level now with the Eggheads, your team.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Come back to us and we will play on.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05So, as it stands, Trouble at t'Mill have lost a brain,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07lost their captain from the final round.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09The Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Evenly balanced,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12and the next subject is History.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Now, the Eggs like a bit of History. So who wants to do this?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17- You were doing...- Kim.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Suneet, when we were doing those questions on the train coming up,
0:13:21 > 0:13:22you and Katherine were both good.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Yeah, yeah.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27It's not my strongest point though.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It's sort of what comes after though as well, isn't it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31But if Sport comes out, we need Suneet.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32- For that one, yeah.- Don't we?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I will sacrifice myself.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I apologise in advance.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41OK. Kim against which Egghead?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Who are you going to pick? - Guys, I need your help on this.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Between Judith and Chris? - I did want to take on Judith.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Yeah, you did, didn't you?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- In your interview, you said that, didn't you?- I did say that. Yeah.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Here's your opportunity. - I'm in awe of Judith.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Well, listen, you have to, don't you?- Yeah.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00It's intimidation and I'm also very impressed by Judith.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- So I'll go for Judith. - All right, good call.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06So Kim from Trouble at t'Mill takes on her...heroine, can we say?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Definitely. - Judith from the Eggheads.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12To make sure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Good luck, Kim.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18We're on History. Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:18 > 0:14:19I would like to go first, please.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Here we go.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Who led the first English expedition to circumnavigate the world
0:14:28 > 0:14:32in a voyage that lasted from 1577 to 1580?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I apologise, guys. I'm going to go for Horatio Nelson.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44No. It was Francis Drake.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Francis Drake.- Sorry, guys.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49So, let's see what Judith does now.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52What was the name of the Anglo-Saxon resistance leader
0:14:52 > 0:14:56based in and around the Isle of Ely who was nicknamed the Wake?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03He was called Hereward the Wake.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Hereward the Wake.- Yeah.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Yes, that's true. Very good quizzing. Well done.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Kim, back to you.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11In 1909,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Captain Sir George Mansfield Smith-Cumming
0:15:15 > 0:15:18became the first director of an agency
0:15:18 > 0:15:21that is now known by what abbreviation?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I'm going to go with MI6.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Brilliant. Well done. You've got it. - Woohoo!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32MI6 is the right answer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Well done. OK, Judith.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Who was leader of the Soviet Union
0:15:38 > 0:15:41at the time of the Warsaw Pact
0:15:41 > 0:15:44invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Well, it couldn't have been Stalin because he died in, I think, 1953.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And I think Nikita Khrushchev had gone by then.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59I think it's Brezhnev.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02The answer is Leonid Brezhnev.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Well done, Judith.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08So you need to get this one right, Kim, to stay in.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Which US secretary of state
0:16:10 > 0:16:13attempted to mediate between Britain and Argentina
0:16:13 > 0:16:17in the run-up to what became the Falklands War in 1982?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Um... I don't really know too much about that period of time,
0:16:27 > 0:16:28to be honest.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I am going to guess...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Alexander Haig.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35You got it spot-on.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Well done. Judith, Kim's got two, you've got two.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42If you get this one right, you're in the final.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Roald Amundsen was in a group of how many people when he became the first
0:16:46 > 0:16:49explorer to reach the South Pole in 1911?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56I don't know cos I'm not entirely sure of the meaning of the question,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59whether it meant his whole group,
0:16:59 > 0:17:00the whole expedition,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03or just the people who actually arrived at the pole.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I'm going to assume it's the people who actually arrived at the pole
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- and say five.- OK.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13On the basis that some may have fallen along the way?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Well, there probably was a group of 15 or even 50
0:17:17 > 0:17:19for the whole expedition.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- The correct answer is five.- Oh, I was right.- Yeah, you were right.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Oh, Kim, what a shame, cos she was struggling there.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I thought you were going to take her to Sudden Death.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30So, Kim, you've been knocked out. Judith, you will be in the final.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Please come back. We'll play the next round and the last
0:17:33 > 0:17:34round before the final.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38So trouble has moved this way a little bit.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Trouble at t'Mill have lost two brains now.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42The Eggheads have lost the one.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45And we have another subject to play, which is Sport.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Now, who wants Sport?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- KIM HUMS - That's me, then, isn't it?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Yes, that's got your name on it, Suneet.- Absolutely.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Against which Egghead, Suneet?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'll go Chris. There's no reason behind it, just why not?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Just why not?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Chris?- Chris, please, yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05So Suneet from Trouble at t'Mill versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06He likes his sport.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10The grim inevitability reminds one of a Greek tragedy.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Every time Sport comes up I get picked for it.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- When I don't get picked. - When Judith doesn't get it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- You've got to be gentlemanly about it, Chris.- I know, I know.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'll keep my powder dry.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25To ensure there's no conferring,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27would you please take your positions?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Chris, I've just had a look and this is your 222nd Sports round.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Is it indeed?- Yes. - That's 222 too many.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Well, you've won 77 of them.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41That's nearly a third of them when you look at it.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.- Hm.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45You can see what you're up against here, Suneet.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46What sort of sport do you like?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Used to play a lot of basketball, a bit of badminton,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51still watch football, started watching rugby.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53So hopefully, I've got a good mix.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56All right. Would you like to go first or second, Suneet?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57I'll go first, please.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Here we go.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Which organisation was Andy Murray talking about when, at the
0:19:04 > 0:19:08end of 2015, after Great Britain's Davis Cup win, he said,
0:19:08 > 0:19:12"Nothing ever gets done and I don't like wasting my time"?
0:19:18 > 0:19:22There was a lot towards the end of the year about anti-doping
0:19:22 > 0:19:24and sort of possible scandals and cover-ups.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27So I'm going to go World Anti-Doping Agency.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29No, they were quite busy, actually.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31The Lawn Tennis Association is the answer.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Chris.
0:19:33 > 0:19:39Alex Hales, born in 1989, has represented England in which sport?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- MUMBLES:- Don't think Hales is a cricketer.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Rugby union.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Cricket is the answer.- Ah.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Suneet, in October 2015,
0:19:52 > 0:19:57which footballer took three minutes and 22 seconds to score the fastest
0:19:57 > 0:20:00ever hat-trick in Bundesliga history?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I'm almost certain it wasn't Suarez.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I want to go for Thomas Muller.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Thomas Muller.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17No. It's Robert Lewandowski.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19OK. So fairly low scoring round here.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Chris, see if you can burst
0:20:21 > 0:20:22into the lead now.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27When Tyson Fury defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30the Ukrainian had been World Heavyweight Champion
0:20:30 > 0:20:31for how long?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Well, it wouldn't be 16 years.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40And I doubt it would be nine years.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Surely, it's got to be four years.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Well, I would have thought so too, but it's nine.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Nine years is the answer.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53So we look at the scores and it is two wrong answers for you both.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55So it's a very tight round.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Suneet, in the 1960s and '70s,
0:21:00 > 0:21:04the New Zealander Ivan Mauger was a six-times world champion
0:21:04 > 0:21:05in which sport?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10My gut's telling me it's not squash.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15And I've no idea between the two.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17So I'm going to go straight down the middle and say shooting.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19The correct answer is...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21speedway. Sorry!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Don't worry though because, up against Chris,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26you guys are level here.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29This is your chance, Chris, to win through on Sport.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Suneet has just not had the rub of the green.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Chris, for the round,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36which baseball player born in 1886
0:21:36 > 0:21:40set a long-standing major-league record
0:21:40 > 0:21:43with a career batting average of 367?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I think that was the Pride Of The Yankees
0:21:50 > 0:21:52or the Yankee Clipper, Ty Cobb.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Ty Cobb is your answer.- Mm.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59If you've got it right, you have taken the Sport round
0:21:59 > 0:22:03and add it to your tally of successful rounds in Sports.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Let's see.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06The answer is Ty Cobb.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Chris, you've done it on the third question.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Sorry, Suneet. That just didn't go
0:22:10 > 0:22:12the right way for you there.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13- No.- Not to worry.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Come back to us and we'll see what happens in the crucial final round.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Well played, Chris, in an unusual round.- It was rather, wasn't it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25And Ty Cobb was right but he wasn't the Pride Of The Yankees.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Wasn't he?- He was known as the Georgia Peach.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29- Trust me.- Yeah, Ty Cobb, trust you.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It's time for the final round, which, as always,
0:22:34 > 0:22:35is General Knowledge.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:38 > 0:22:40won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44So, Paul, Kim and Suneet, from Trouble at t'Mill, and also Kevin,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46from the Eggheads... How often do we see this?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48..would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52OK, Jackie and Katherine, you're playing to win
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Trouble at t'Mill £9,000.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Great jackpot today.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Pat, Barry, Chris and Judith,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00you're playing for something which money cannot buy -
0:23:00 > 0:23:01the Eggheads reputation.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Will we get the jackpot to 10,000, five figures?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11This time they're all going to be General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12So, Trouble at t'Mill,
0:23:12 > 0:23:17the question is - can your two brains defeat these very large four?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20The brains, by the way, that's a reference too.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24We would like to go first, Jeremy, please.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Here we go with your first question. General Knowledge. Good luck.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33The method of attempting to stimulate an economy
0:23:33 > 0:23:35by boosting the overall
0:23:35 > 0:23:38amount of money in the banking system is known as what?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Jackie, you're our money lady.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51I know. I have heard of quantitative easing, but I think...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I think quantitative easing.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55If it's not that, it'll be...
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Let's go for quantitative easing. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Jeremy, we're going with quantitative easing.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03It's very hard to say, that's for sure.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06There seems to be an extra T in it every time I look.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Quantitative easing... - Quantitative.- ..or QE.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10You're absolutely right. Well done.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14It's what they used after the 2008 crash in lots of countries.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Pouring money into the banks.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17OK, Eggheads.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Crevette is a French word for what food item?
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Crevette.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Prawn.- Prawn.- Prawn.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Crevette, from my French correspondent on my left,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32is a prawn.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- I thought you didn't speak French, Judith?- I do speak French.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36You speak prawn?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I talk about crevettes in France.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- You have long conversations about crevettes?- Yes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Crevettes are prawns.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Well done. OK.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Here's your second question.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Who directed the 1999 film The Talented Mr Ripley
0:24:52 > 0:24:55and the 2003 film Cold Mountain?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03James Cameron sounds right but so does Sam Mendes.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I've not heard of Anthony Minghella.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I've heard of Minghella.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- I've not seen either of them.- No.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14My first instinct was James Cameron but based on nothing.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Just a guess.- Just a daydream, probably.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- We don't know it, do we? - We don't know the answer.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23We just need to pick one, don't we?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25We're going to go with Jackie's first instinct,
0:25:25 > 0:25:26which was James Cameron.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29OK. Definite film director
0:25:29 > 0:25:31who did Titanic and Terminator
0:25:31 > 0:25:33and, and, and...
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Aliens.- Aliens.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- But not this.- Is it Sam Mendes? - Not this.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It's Anthony Minghella.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Oh, the one we'd not heard of. - We didn't know that.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43So Anthony Minghella is the right answer there.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Eggheads.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47"It's been a long day without you, my friend"
0:25:47 > 0:25:52are the opening lyrics to which 2015 hit single?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I think it's See You Again.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02# It's been a long day without you. #
0:26:03 > 0:26:05It's kind of slow, and then it finally ends up with,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07something, something, "See you again."
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Is it Sam Smith or something?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11It's sort of logical too, somehow.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- I think that's the best we've got there.- Best we've got, yeah.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18Pat seems to know this and he's been playing it in his head quite loudly.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21So on that basis, we're going to go for See You Again.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23See You Again is quite right.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Well done.- So, you have two.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Challengers, you have one.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30You must get this one right to keep the contest alive.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32£9,000 you're playing for.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36It is traditional for which well-known flag
0:26:36 > 0:26:39to be flown by Royal Navy submarines
0:26:39 > 0:26:42when they return to base following a successful mission?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Well, we know it's not the Jolly Roger, is it?- No.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- What's your instinct? - My gut is the Royal Standard.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58It's mine too, just because if you've done something...
0:26:58 > 0:27:00It sounds like something you'd be proud of.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02..something you'd be proud of.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- The Red Duster, you know, it doesn't really...- No.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07We don't know.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10It sounds like something that you would be proud to fly
0:27:10 > 0:27:12when you've achieved something,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14so we're going to go with Royal Standard.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15Royal Standard.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Now, if you've got this right, the contest goes on,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20if you've got it wrong, the contest is over.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Let's see with the Eggheads.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23- What's the answer?- Jolly Roger.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25The Jolly Roger.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Oh.- Meaning what, skull and cross bones and all that?
0:27:28 > 0:27:29They would only fly the Royal Standard
0:27:29 > 0:27:31if the sovereign was aboard
0:27:31 > 0:27:33and the Red Duster is the Merchant Navy ensign, so
0:27:33 > 0:27:35it's got to be the Jolly Roger.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36The answer is the Jolly Roger.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38We say, congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40You have won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47By the way, See You Again was a single for Wiz Khalifa
0:27:47 > 0:27:49featuring Charlie Puth.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- So not Sam Smith. - Oh, I had doubts.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53That's a detail lost in the wash now.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55So they fly the Jolly Roger?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I don't believe it. And you didn't believe it either.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- It doesn't sound right.- No. We negated that straight away.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01We were well with the pirates.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- I looked at it as well, I thought, "No, it can't be that."- Yeah.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06So commiserations. On such things contests are won and lost.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- We've had a good time.- I'm glad you have. Jackie, you played
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- your Music round brilliantly as well.- You did.- Thank you.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Bad luck, Trouble at t'Mill.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17They're really storming it now. This winning streak continues.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £9,000,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Eggheads, congrats.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Who will beat you? I'm guessing no-one ever.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Ever, ever.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:34have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Well done for knocking Kevin out today.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39£10,000 says the next team won't win.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Until then, goodbye.
