0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Taking on the awesome might of our quiz goliaths
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are The Old Contemptibles from Huddersfield.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Now, everyone on this team is part of the Colne Valley Quiz League.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hello, my name is Jimmy, I'm retired,
0:00:47 > 0:00:51I was a subcontractor in the construction industry.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm David. Before I retired, I was a chartered accountant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, my name is Alistair, I manage a newsagent's shop.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Jeremy and I'm a local government finance officer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Kay, I'm a legal officer for a local authority.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09So, team, Jimmy, welcome and just tell us
0:01:09 > 0:01:13why the name The Old Contemptibles? I know it's an important name.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Well, it was during the First World War
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and my grandfather's regiment - unfortunately they got decimated
0:01:19 > 0:01:23along with the Canadians and they were co-opted onto other regiments.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28- In his case, so I believe, it was the Lancashire Fusiliers...- Yeah.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32So proficient as professional soldiers -
0:01:32 > 0:01:36they were the firing single-shot rifles at the Germans so fast,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38the Germans thought they were being machine-gunned,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40which was not the case.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Kaiser Wilhelm instructed his generals,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46"Rid me of this contemptible little army."
0:01:46 > 0:01:49They weren't able to do it.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54And they took that as a compliment, not as an insult.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Hence, they got the nickname The Old Contemptibles.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58And that was your grandfather.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- That was my grandfather, yes. - If we said Old Contemptibles to
0:02:00 > 0:02:04you, Chris, you'd be straight there, wouldn't you?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Veterans of the professional army of 1914, yeah.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Armed with the finest infantry weapon ever made,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11the Lee-Enfield .303 rifle.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14And in the hands of a professional soldier, that was one deadly weapon.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17And the Germans didn't like it up 'em, sir.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19LAUGHTER
0:02:19 > 0:02:21And the name came from the Kaiser. I didn't realise that.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Yeah, he referred, "Oh England's contemptible little army."
0:02:24 > 0:02:26And they took a perverse pride in that -
0:02:26 > 0:02:28"we are The Old Contemptibles."
0:02:28 > 0:02:31OK, so you are now playing The Old Contemptibles here
0:02:31 > 0:02:33and Jimmy and team. And, Alistair, the team captain,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35you brought them together, is that right?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Yes. I'm more a middle-aged Contemptible, I think.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41LAUGHTER Well, let's see how you go.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Every day there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:43 > 0:02:46for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53So, Old Contemptibles, the Eggheads have won the last 16 games,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56so they are ripe and ready here for a bashing at some point, aren't you?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Let's face it. It's going to happen.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01£17,000 for you to win, shall we start?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Yep.- OK, I thought you were going to say no for a second.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05LAUGHTER
0:03:05 > 0:03:06I wouldn't know what to do.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Who would like this?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Kay, I think.- I think, Kay.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Kay, all right. Against which Egghead?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20What do you suggest?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Barry?- Barry?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Shall we go with Barry?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27That's pretty clear. So it's going to be Kay on Arts & Books.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You've had this quite a lot, Barry.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I think people look at you and think you don't read much.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34They'd be surprised then, wouldn't they?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well, I know they would, but anyway. We shall see.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Old Contemptibles versus the Eggheads, let's start.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Please go to the Question Room now.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- I gather it's your wedding anniversary, Kay.- Yes, 31 years.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I think we need a round of applause, don't we?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Cos you're married to Jeremy, here,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54so is it good being married to a Jeremy?...
0:03:54 > 0:03:55It's an excellent thing.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Good. I'm pleased to hear it.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- So you're on Arts & Books - do you do a lot of reading?- Yes.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02OK, that's said purposefully.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05And you read stuff from now, or yesterday?
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Or the day before?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I tend to read fiction, but I do read some non-fiction.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I read well over 100 books a year.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Oh, really, where do you get time to do that?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I commute, so I spend a lot of time reading.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20All right, well, 100 books a year, I bet even you can't beat that,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Barry?- I could have when I was younger, but maybe not now.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27OK. Kay, I'm looking forward to this, do you to go first or second?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28I'll go first, please.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Here we go...
0:04:33 > 0:04:35In which decade did Andy Warhol
0:04:35 > 0:04:39create his 32 Campbell's Soup Cans paintings?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Was it...?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I think he's most associated with the 1960s,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47so I'll go with the 1960s.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52You're spot-on, well done. '60s it was. Over to you, Barry...
0:04:52 > 0:04:54In the Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57which of these characters is a tiger?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It has a wonderful name. Baloo is a bear,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07and Kaa is a snake but the tiger was indisputably Shere Khan.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Shere Khan is right. The tiger.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Kay, the Iliad is an epic poem
0:05:14 > 0:05:17believed to have been written by which of these authors?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It was thought to have been written by Homer.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Homer is correct.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Barry, A Feast For Crows is the fourth
0:05:28 > 0:05:31in a series of books by which author?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39This is the Game Of Thrones question, isn't it?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41It's George RR Martin.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43It is indeed George RR Martin.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45OK, two points each.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Back to you, Kay, keep the pressure on this Egghead,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50he can crack more easily than you might think.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Which famous Russian novel starts with the sentence,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55"All happy families are alike,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58"each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way?"
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Is it...?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Right... I've not read Dr Zhivago.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I don't think The Brothers Karamazov starts like that,
0:06:11 > 0:06:12I think it's Anna Karenina.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Your team like that.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Your husband is nodding, you'll pleased to know.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Anna Karenina is the right answer.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Jeremy's given it the thumbs up.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22So, Barry, get this wrong, you'll be out.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25In which Shakespeare play does a character dress up
0:06:25 > 0:06:29as Herne the Hunter, complete with stag horns?
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Oh, gosh...
0:06:35 > 0:06:38It's not A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41And I can't recall it in Twelfth Night.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I think it's The Merry Wives of Windsor.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Very good elimination.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47it is that rather obscure play, The Merry Wives of Windsor.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51So, well done, three points each. Two learned people here.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Two scholars.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54It gets a bit harder now, Kay,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57it goes to Sudden Death, I don't give you alternatives.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00In the print by Hokusai, known as The Great Wave,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04which snow-capped mountain is in the background?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Think it's Mount Fuji.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08It is indeed Mount Fuji, well done.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11He did lots of them, didn't he? Lots of The Great Wave prints.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13An amazing collection. Barry.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17What is the English title of Van Gogh's painting Sternennacht,
0:07:17 > 0:07:22which depicts a night-time view from his hospital window?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I think this must be Starry Night.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Starry Night is correct.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Sudden Death, Kay, back to you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Rebecca and Lady Rowena are central characters
0:07:31 > 0:07:33in which Walter Scott novel?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I think that's Ivanhoe.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Ivanhoe is right, well done. Barry.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird,
0:07:41 > 0:07:47the character of Dill is based on which US author born in 1924?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Ah...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I should know this.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Harper Lee was very good friends with Truman Capote.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So I'm going to say Truman Capote.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Truman Capote is correct, Barry, well done.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Kay, who wrote the novels, The Maid Of Buttermere,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05A Time To Dance, and The Soldier's Return?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I think that was Melvyn Bragg.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Melvyn Bragg is correct. Barry.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15Red, a play by John Logan, which premiered in London in 2009,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17is centred on the life
0:08:17 > 0:08:22and work of which 20th-century abstract expressionist artist?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I don't know the play, but I think I'll have a shot at Mark Rothko.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Mark Rothko is right.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Kay, which Italian Renaissance artist spent his last years
0:08:32 > 0:08:37in France as a painter, architect and engineer to King Francis I?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41No, I can't think... Bernini.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I would need a first name and a last name
0:08:44 > 0:08:47but it's wrong anyway. Leonardo da Vinci.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Barry, for the round...
0:08:49 > 0:08:53The artist Maurice Utrillo was born in which country?
0:08:53 > 0:08:58His mother was Suzanne Valadon and he was born in France.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00How do you know his mother's name, for Pete's sake?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- She also is a famous artist.- OK.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06France is right. What a round! Kay, really, toe-to-toe, that was.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Brilliant play.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Barry's taken it, though, just at the end there,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12and will be in the final.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Please both of you return to us and we will play on.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Bad luck, Kay, on that round, cos you...
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I won't say you deserved it, but my goodness,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- we don't see many players as good as you are.- No, indeed.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Anyway, if it's going to be like that all the way through,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Eggheads, you've got a battle on here.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29But then you are fighting The Old Contemptibles.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31So that's what we'd expect.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34They've lost a brain, the Eggheads have not lost one yet.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36The next subject for you is Science.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Who would like this, Alistair?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41THEY CHATTER
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- David.- David? OK, David is going to do Science. Against which Egghead?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Not Barry.- We'll try CJ.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Yep, I can understand that,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52doesn't look as if he's spent much time in a laboratory.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Certainly not. No, I've been studied.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I was going to say, may be.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59So, David from The Old Contemptibles plays CJ from the Eggheads
0:09:59 > 0:10:01on Science and just to make sure there's no conferring,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03please go to our Question Room.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09So, good luck here, David, on Science. Against the great CJ.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Here we go, for what does the letter R stand in the abbreviation
0:10:20 > 0:10:25MRSA, the bacterium that is often referred to as a superbug?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Is it...?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Resonant.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Resonant, you say?
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Yes.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36It is actually resistant.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm afraid you're wrong.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41CJ, daddy-longlegs is a common name in the UK
0:10:41 > 0:10:42for which of these creatures?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I think a daddy-longlegs is a crane fly.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Crane fly is correct, so first point to CJ.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54David, try and beat him back now.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59The American inventor Thomas Edison was named the Wizard of where...?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05It's Menlo Park.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Yes, it is indeed, well done. Menlo Park.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10CJ, your question...
0:11:10 > 0:11:14What name, translating loosely from Latin as "two long teeth",
0:11:14 > 0:11:17is given to a large, extinct carnivore that had
0:11:17 > 0:11:22a distinctive sail-like crest down the length of its back?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31It's not the Diplodocus, it's not Diceratops, it is Dimetrodon.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32It is the Dimetrodon,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34although we don't seem to have heard of it very much.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36It's famous cos it has the big...
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Long tail, very low creature, walked on all fours,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43big sail on its back which was used to regulate heat.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- You obviously know a lot about dinosaurs.- Yep.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK, David, your question.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Got two out of two, CJ, inconveniently for us.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Which penguin, one of the most southerly-breeding species,
0:11:54 > 0:11:59is characterised by a small ring of white feathers surrounding each eye?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I think it's in the Adelie penguin.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Yeah, it is the Adelie penguin.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Have you got some penguin experience?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Only the chocolate ones.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15LAUGHTER
0:12:15 > 0:12:18OK, CJ, all the same, if you get this right, the round is yours.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Cos David got the first one wrong.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25The axis of which planet in our solar system lies almost parallel
0:12:25 > 0:12:27to its orbital plane,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31which means that it spins while appearing to lie on its side?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Is it...?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Um, there are lots of...
0:12:37 > 0:12:41weird things that happen in the solar system.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Venus, for example, its day is longer than its year,
0:12:44 > 0:12:49but I think the one with the parallel axis is Uranus.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Uranus is the right answer. David, I'm sorry, you just couldn't
0:12:52 > 0:12:55get any daylight in there with CJ, could you?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57So you've been knocked out, I'm afraid.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00The Eggheads can do that, they are playing rather well.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Come back to us, please, and we will play on.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08OK, Alistair, The Old Contemptibles have lost a couple of brains
0:13:08 > 0:13:09but trench spirit, I guess.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11That's it, or trench foot. One or the other.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14LAUGHTER
0:13:14 > 0:13:15OK, well, the Eggheads have not lost any,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18but at some point they are going down, there's no doubt.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22So, let's see if a crack opens up. The next subject is Music.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Who would like this?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I think, yes... Do you want to do that?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It's going to be me.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32OK, the skipper goes in. Alistair, against which Eggheads?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36We can see who we've got here, Chris and Judith and Pat.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Right, what do you think, then?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Of those three, I think Chris.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41You think Chris, do you? Are we agreed?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43We'll try Chris.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Yeah?- On the basis that it may be more recent music.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50We've not have any classical questions for ages,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53so there ought to be some classical questions coming out.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- We had a question about a bassoon. - Bassoon?- Yes.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You said that in the manner of Lady...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- AS LADY BRACKNELL:- A handbag? - LAUGHTER
0:14:03 > 0:14:04So Alistair from The Old Contemptibles,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- versus Chris "The Bassoon" from the Eggheads.- "Buffoon" to you!
0:14:07 > 0:14:10And please go to the Question Room now.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15OK, Alistair, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Second, please, Jeremy.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23OK, so, Chris, this is your question.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Which song, a UK number-one hit for Wiz Khalifa
0:14:26 > 0:14:29and Charlie Puth in 2015 features on the soundtrack
0:14:29 > 0:14:33of the film Fast And Furious 7?
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Is it...?
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Well, going by the general milieu of Fast And Furious,
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I'd say it would have to be Bad Blood.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49No, that's the Taylor Swift one. See You Again is the answer.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50OK.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52OK, Alistair, your question.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54It's quite good, you've not even answered a question yet,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56you're in the lead.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59When describing vinyl records, LP usually stands for what?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Well, I think it's to do with how long the record lasts
0:15:07 > 0:15:11as opposed to a single, so I would go for long-playing.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14It is long-playing, well done.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Chris, which of these classical composers
0:15:16 > 0:15:19lived for the shortest length of time?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Schubert died very young,
0:15:28 > 0:15:29So it has to be Franz Schubert.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Bang on, Schubert it was.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33There we are - that's your classical question,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- you said they hadn't been coming up. - Well, it has now.- It has now.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- All we need now is a rap question and you'll be happy.- Yes, indeed.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42I'll be well away.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46OK, Alistair, where was Hozier, best-known for his hit single
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Take Me To Church, born?
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Nothing springs to mind, I think I'll go for Scotland.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Ireland...
0:15:58 > 0:16:00is the answer.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03What have we got here? One point each. Chris, your question.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Curtis Jackson is the real name of which American rapper?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Just when I... hoped for a rap question.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I think he's Snoop Dogg.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16ALL GROAN
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Eggheads, let's just see that again in slow motion, please.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20LAUGHTER
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Let's do the despair, let's see it.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Go on, facepalm.- Oh!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28No, it's 50 Cent, Chris. So you got that wrong.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29All right, well, Alistair,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Words written by the poet James Thomson
0:16:34 > 0:16:37are used for the lyrics of which patriotic song?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Land Of Hope And Glory is Thomas Alan, I think.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Out of the other two, I'd go for Rule Britannia.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Rule Britannia is the right answer, well done, Alistair,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56maybe turning it around for your team, good stuff.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Chris, you've been knocked out.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Lot of money we're playing for here.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Come back to us and we'll see what happens in the next round.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07So a bit of movement back for The Old Contemptibles.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10They have lost two but the Eggheads have now lost one brain,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12it's getting tighter, isn't it?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14The next subject is Politics.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Right... Shall I...? - If you volunteer.- Yep.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20OK, I'll do that, Jeremy.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Jeremy, another Jeremy who loves his Politics, I feel at home.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Against which Egghead? - Well, what do we think?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29What about Judith?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Yeah, OK, we'll do that, then. Yeah.- Judith.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34OK. Jeremy from The Old Contemptibles
0:17:34 > 0:17:36versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38On Politics. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:17:38 > 0:17:39please go to the Question Room.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I think you're quite good on Politics, Judith,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- shall I tell you why? - Yes, cos I beat Edwina Currie.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Did you, really?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Yes, we had a celeb team and Edwina Currie did Politics
0:17:52 > 0:17:54and chose me, and I beat her.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57You may not remember, we had a guy on who was the highest scorer
0:17:57 > 0:17:59on Fifteen To One or something like that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01He came on and you beat him on Politics..
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- Oh, did I?- Yes.- Yippee.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06So, we're into very strong Judith territory now.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09But I guess you like your Politics as well, as you're called Jeremy.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- That's right, Jeremy, yes. - Yeah, cos I love mine.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14So would you like to go first or second?...
0:18:14 > 0:18:15I think I'll go first, please.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22So, here we go, good luck, Jeremy. And your question is...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Which woman, who became famous as a model,
0:18:24 > 0:18:29did the French president Nikolas Sarkozy marry in 2008?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Right, well, I think I know this one. Which is good.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I think that is Carla Bruni.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41It is Carla Bruni, well done.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Judith, your question.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Who became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 2010?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- In 2010?- Yes.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well, I think it's George Osborne.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57George Osborne is the right answer.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Back to you, Jeremy. In which year did Ceylon,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01now known as Sri Lanka,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04appoint the world's first female prime minister?
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Right, I think that was Mrs Bandaranaike, I think that was 1960.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Yes, it was 1960. I'm sensing you know your stuff.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19We've got some quizzers here, haven't we, Eggs?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21On this challenging team.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Judith, in which city
0:19:22 > 0:19:26was Martin Luther King Jr assassinated in 1968?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Well, I think it was Memphis.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It was, indeed, Memphis.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Jeremy, your question...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Who was the only president of the USA in the 20th century
0:19:40 > 0:19:41to have been divorced?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Right, well, I think I know the answer.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52It wasn't Franklin D Roosevelt...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55I'm fairly sure it wasn't Dwight Eisenhower, I think
0:19:55 > 0:19:56it was Ronald Reagan.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Yes, indeed, it was before he married Nancy, I guess.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- I can't remember who it was. Who was it?- Jane Wyman.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Jane Wyman. The actress.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Yeah, good, Jeremy, Ronald Reagan is right. Three out of three.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Judith...
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Which of these women was nicknamed the Iron Butterfly?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Well, Margaret Thatcher is the Iron Lady, the Iron Butterfly...
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I think it was Imelda Marcos.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Imelda Marcos is correct.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Well done, Judith. And well done, Jeremy,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31three out of three for you both.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Good round so far, we go to Sudden Death, Jeremy.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36It gets a bit harder, as you know, I don't give you alternatives.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37In parliamentary politics,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41for what do both of the letter O's stand in the acronym OMOV?
0:20:43 > 0:20:47They stand for... One, Jeremy.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- As in one member, one vote?- Yes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50You're right.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Judith...
0:20:52 > 0:20:54What is the name of the guerrilla organisation
0:20:54 > 0:21:00that overthrew the Somoza ruling dynasty in Nicaragua in 1979?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Gosh, what were they called?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06One of them's called the Shining Path.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08In one of those South American countries.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11But I don't think it's that one.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I can't remember.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I'm going to have to say the Shining Path.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18No, they were Peru.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20They were Peru.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- This was the Sandinistas. - That's right, absolutely.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26So you've lost the round to Jeremy. Well done, Jeremy, on Politics.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I think you've still got some fuel in the tank there, as well,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30you will be in the final round.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34If you both return to us, we will play the final round for £17,000.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38So quite a contest.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40This is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41It is time for the final round
0:21:41 > 0:21:43which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:45 > 0:21:48won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51So that is David and Kay from The Old Contemptibles,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53and Judith and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Jimmy, Alistair, Jeremy,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02you're playing to win The Old Contemptibles £17,000.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05On the other side, we've got the Eggheads,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09two Brain Of Britain winners and CJ de Mooi!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'm pretty, I'm pretty!
0:22:11 > 0:22:12LAUGHTER
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Anyway, all good quizzers, as you know.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Eggheads, you are playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19which is your precious reputation.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20And you are doing so well so far,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22you wanted to keep this streak going.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27this time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30You are allowed to confer, gentlemen.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33So, Old Contemptibles, the question is,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37are your three brains able to destroy these three over here?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38In a gentle and polite way.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42OK, Jimmy, I'll ask you, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I think we'll go first, Jeremy.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Here we go, I'm feeling like this is a contest we've got here,
0:22:51 > 0:22:52so take your time.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56General Knowledge, £17,000 we're playing for.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Which football team won the 2014/15 Premier League?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05THEY CHATTER
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- ALL: Chelsea, wasn't it? - Definitely.- Yes, definitely.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Chelsea.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Chelsea is the right answer.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15OK, Eggheads.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Which of these is a book by Nick Hornby?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25It's High Fidelity, Nick Hornby.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- Who was Man And Boy, was that Tony Parsons?- Yeah, I think so.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29One Day is Nicholls...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- We're happy it's...?- High Fidelity.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34We think that's High Fidelity....
0:23:34 > 0:23:37High Fidelity is quite right. it's tricky that,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Because he did write About A Boy. But not Man And Boy.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42OK, back to you, Challengers.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Who plays the title role in
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Kenneth Branagh's 2015 film, Cinderella?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- I have no idea on this. - No, I've not seen it.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59What do you think, then?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02There's two Lilys and one Emilia,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I think it's probably going to be a Lily...
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Mm... Well, that's as good an argument as anything...
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- But which Lily? - Shall we go for Lily Collins?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Lily Collins.- It's a one-in-three chance, yes, go for that,
0:24:14 > 0:24:15we'll go for that.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21We aren't sure, Jeremy. Obviously, two Lilys, one Emilia.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22We'll go for Lily Collins.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Yeah, it is one of the two Lilys, but you went for the wrong one,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27it's Lily James.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30She plays Rose in Downton Abbey.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34By the way. Eggheads, to take the lead...
0:24:34 > 0:24:37South Africa is bordered by how many countries?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- I think it's four. - It's got to be, cos you've got...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Mozambique.- Mozambique...- Namibia.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50- Lesotho...- Botswana, Swaziland.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52You've only got one of those two, one's internal.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56But why are you excluding an internal border?
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Oh, true...- It's a border with... - It's a border.- ..customs posts.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03It has a border with Lesotho...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05It depends on the question.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Can you just repeat the question, please?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09South Africa is bordered by how many countries?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12All right, so you've got to include it...
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Swaziland, Lesotho...Mozambique.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Botswana, Namibia...
0:25:16 > 0:25:19That's five, what's the sixth? What are we missing?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Does Zimbabwe come all the way down?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25I think it does...because I think there's been a big fuss
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- about Zimbabweans coming over... - Well, I thought it did,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31cos I've flown from...Jo'burg to Harare...
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- And it was a very short flight. - So you think that makes it six?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- That makes it six. - OK, we'll go that way.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40We're going to go for six, Jeremy.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44A fascinating discussion because I can see if Lesotho and Swaziland
0:25:44 > 0:25:47are inside South Africa, does that count as being bordered by...?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49But it does, for our purposes, OK, so you're right to include them.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Also right to include Zimbabwe, cos there is a big issue
0:25:52 > 0:25:55in South Africa with Zimbabweans floating over the border. Bang on.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Well done. I could see how that could go wrong.- That was teamwork.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02That could go wrong, cos you could say well, Lesotho,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Swaziland, they are not running outside the border.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07But, anyway, you got it right. Six.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Phew!
0:26:09 > 0:26:10So, you must get this one right.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Who won an Academy Award for best actor
0:26:13 > 0:26:18for his role as a recovering alcoholic/country music singer
0:26:18 > 0:26:21in the 1983 film, Tender Mercies?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Jason Robards Jnr...
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Was it?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I don't think it's Gene Hackman.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34If I had to guess, I'd say Robert Duvall,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36but I don't know.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Well, I think it's Jason Robards.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Are you quite sure on that? - Jason Robards Jnr, isn't it?
0:26:41 > 0:26:46- Jason Robards Jnr, I don't really know a lot about.- Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I'm pretty sure Robert Duvall has won an Oscar.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I would go for... If I had to choose, I would go
0:26:51 > 0:26:53for Robert Duvall, but I'm not sure.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Well, we'll go with that consensus, but I think it's Jason Robards...
0:26:56 > 0:26:58But consensus as always...
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- LAUGHTER - I wish you...- Yeah.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- So, we're going for Robert Duvall, then?- OK, we'll go for that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Robert Duvall.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Duvall is your answer. Jimmy, well done, you gave way, which was good.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Cos it is Robert Duvall. - Brilliant, brilliant.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- That can be painful... - I always do as I'm told.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Yeah, you did well to give way there.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21OK, so, Eggheads still have it in their hands if they win this.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23What was the name of the giant panda
0:27:23 > 0:27:28that was a key attraction at London Zoo from 1958 to 1972?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- It was Chi Chi... - Chi Chi was the big panda, yeah.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- I think Tian Tian is in Edinburgh, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Chi Chi was at London Zoo.- OK...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43We're going to go for Chi Chi.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Chi Chi, do you know this one, guys? - Yes, Chi Chi is right.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It is Chi Chi.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49And with £17,000 on the table,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52you've pulled it off again, Eggheads, well done.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54We say congratulations, you have won.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02And I'm now...
0:28:02 > 0:28:04In distant memory, what was the one you got wrong there?
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- Cinderella.- That's hard,... - Lily James and Lily Collins.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Yes, well, commiserations to The Old Contemptibles,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14great team story, by the way, Jimmy, thank you so much for that.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Telling us about your grandfather.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, though.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Their winning streak continues.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24It does mean the Challengers don't go home with the £17,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27so we'll add another 1,000 and play for that next time.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32Eggheads, well done. I'm going to say, hands on the table here,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34you're NEVER going to lose.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Join us next time
0:28:35 > 0:28:38to see if a new team of Challengers can defeat them.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41£18,000 says they can't. Till then, goodbye.
