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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Can they be beaten, I wonder?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- We'll see.- Yes. - Well...- It has happened.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39It has happened, but at the moment, it's looking difficult.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Strictly GI from Lincolnshire. Now, this team
0:00:45 > 0:00:48are all members of a World War II re-enactment group
0:00:48 > 0:00:52who meet each week to recreate the experiences of US Army soldiers
0:00:52 > 0:00:55during the Second World War. How fascinating.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Let's meet them. - Hi, I'm Ben and I'm a web developer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Chris. I'm a self-employed plumber.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Shaun and I'm a writer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Richard and I'm in furniture sales.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Andy and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11So, Ben and team, welcome. Thanks for coming.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- ALL:- Hi, Jeremy. - Looking forward to this?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Absolutely, yeah.- You've really got an interesting background here.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- So, it's World War II re-enactment? - Yes. That's right, yeah.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- But from the perspective of Americans?- Yeah, exactly.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26It's just something a little bit different
0:01:26 > 0:01:28and we kind of just fell in love with all of it -
0:01:28 > 0:01:30The uniforms, the...
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Just everything about it and that's our passion in life, I guess.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Do you meet and dress up and then do something?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Yeah, I mean, we travel across Europe
0:01:39 > 0:01:43and trace the routes that these guys took in 1944 and 1945
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and then try and relay that story to people
0:01:46 > 0:01:49and just educate them about what they did, where they were
0:01:49 > 0:01:51and just generally how life was for them, really.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Isn't this amazing?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- This is your kind of thing, Eggheads.- Yeah.- Totally.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58There'll be a fight when we have the History round.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:00 > 0:02:03for our Challengers. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, though,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Now, when I asked if they could be beaten,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I asked that because they have been on a really good run.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12They've won the last 11,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15which means you can win £12,000 today...
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Wow.- ..if you bring this roll to an end
0:02:17 > 0:02:19and goodness knows, it's time.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- So, who would like this first? - Shaun?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- I think that's got to be Shaun, hasn't it, really?- Shaun?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Yeah, I volunteered to do that one.- OK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34And against which Egghead, Shaun? Any one of the five.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- I thought we were going to do Judith.- Yeah, I think so.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Yeah, I think it's got to be Judith. - Judith.- Yeah.- OK.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Shaun from Strictly GI versus our strictly Egghead Judith.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45And just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48would you please go to the Question Room now?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK, Shaun, Film & TV against the great Judith,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54the million-pound winner.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Which 1979 film features guest appearances
0:03:05 > 0:03:08from the likes of Bob Hope, James Coburn,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Steve Martin, Richard Pryor and Orson Welles among others?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Well, I think I'm pretty confident I know the answer,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21but I'll say that, for definite,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25all of those actors weren't in The Deer Hunter
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and they definitely weren't in Alien,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29so it's got to be The Muppet Movie.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I wondered if they might have all been dressed as the alien
0:03:32 > 0:03:34at different times. That's the only thing I can think of.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36No, but The Muppet Movie is right. Well done.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Judith, your question.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42In Doctor Who, Missy, played by Michelle Gomez,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46is a female incarnation of which character?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Oh, dear. I haven't watched Doctor Who for years.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I think she might be an incarnation of the Doctor.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Ooh. Any Doctor Who fans here?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- The Master.- The Master, says Barry. - The Master.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Now the Mistress - Missy. - She's now Missy the Mistress, yeah.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Oh, I'm so stupid, honestly.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10That wasn't one of your questions on Millionaire, was it?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- No, luckily not. - OK, Shaun, it started well.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Your question - which Carry On actor appeared regularly
0:04:18 > 0:04:24as Private Popeye Popplewell in the 1950s sitcom The Army Game?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, this really is going to have to be a guess
0:04:30 > 0:04:33cos I've not even heard of that.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I can't imagine Kenneth Williams appearing regularly
0:04:35 > 0:04:38in something like that.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Jim Dale was in some TV series about a doctor.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Um, I think I'm going to go for Bernard Bresslaw.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Very good. It is Bernard Bresslaw. Good play.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Judith, you need this now.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Who starred as the Britain's Got Talent winner
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Paul Potts in the 2013 biopic One Chance?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Well, Paul Potts was quite plump, wasn't he?
0:05:08 > 0:05:13And James Corden is quite plump, so I think I'm going to go for him.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Brilliant application of logic. You're right. James Corden it was.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Shaun, for the round,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21what is the name of the fictional paper
0:05:21 > 0:05:24for which Carrie Bradshaw wrote a regular column
0:05:24 > 0:05:27in the US TV series Sex And The City?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Right, I have never seen this TV series in my life.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I'm going on that it's about - I'm guessing -
0:05:38 > 0:05:43successful women, career women, and they're all good-looking.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I'd probably say the New York Siren, but that's a pure guess.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50You're right about the background, but wrong about the paper.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52New York Star is the answer.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55So, Judith, a chance to come back.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59In which Mel Brooks film do some of the main characters leave the action
0:05:59 > 0:06:01to go and watch the rest of the film
0:06:01 > 0:06:06at the famous real-life cinema known as Grauman's Chinese Theatre?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well, not Blazing Saddles, I don't think.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Um, I think it might be High Anxiety.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23No, it is Blazing Saddles, Judith. I'm sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Oh, dear.- Shaun, you're in the final round after three questions.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Please return to us and we'll play on.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33So, as it stands, Strictly GI have not lost any brains
0:06:33 > 0:06:34from the final round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37The Eggheads have lost one. Not a very good start.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39The next subject for you is Science.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Who wants this, Strictly?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- I think it's got to be... - Yeah, I think it's you.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- You've got to take it. Sorry. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:47 > 0:06:49That's, unfortunately, me, Jeremy.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51OK, Chris, our self-employed plumber,
0:06:51 > 0:06:52against which Egghead?
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- I think Dave. - Really?- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Oh, right, OK. Against David, please.- Good stuff.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04So, Chris from Strictly GI versus Dave from the Eggheads on Science.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Please go to the Question Room.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10On Science, Chris, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I'll go first if I can, please, Jeremy.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18So, here is your first question. Good luck.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22The black mamba is a venomous snake native to which continent?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I'm sure it's not Europe.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31No snakes in Antarctica, as far as I know,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33so I'll say Africa.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Africa is absolutely right. Very poisonous as well.- Yes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Dave, in psychotherapy,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42what word comes before behavioural therapy
0:07:42 > 0:07:47in the name of the popular method known for short as CBT?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I've got to go cognitive.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Cognitive's right, yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Chris,
0:07:57 > 0:08:01if ectotherm is the term for an organism
0:08:01 > 0:08:04that relies on an external heat source
0:08:04 > 0:08:07to maintain its body temperature,
0:08:07 > 0:08:11what is the term for one that can generate sufficient heat for itself?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Um, this is going to have to be a guess.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24I think I'm going to go for fluorotherm.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25No, it's actually...
0:08:25 > 0:08:29It's almost more obvious cos ecto is outside and endo is inside.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31So, endotherm is the correct answer.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Dave, what is the largest satellite
0:08:34 > 0:08:38of the dwarf planet Pluto?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I think Phobos is Mars.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I think Io is to do with Jupiter. I think it's Charon.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Charon is correct.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Right, we go back to you, Chris, and this one, you need to get right.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55What word means one of the turns
0:08:55 > 0:08:59of both a spiral shell and the cochlea of the ear?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Again, um, not immediately sure,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10but the first thing that crossed my mind was whorl,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13so I'll stick with whorl, please.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yeah, whorl is right. Like whirl.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Absolutely.- Yeah. - So, you're still in it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Let's see if Dave can get this one right.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23If so, he goes into the final. Naphthalene is the main ingredient
0:09:23 > 0:09:26of which of these household items, Dave?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Don't think it's sticky tape. I don't think it's deodorant.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Funny deodorant, that, I think.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Mothballs.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Mothballs is the right answer, Dave. You're in the final round.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Sorry, Chris, just one wrong answer can be fatal
0:09:40 > 0:09:43against these very good players, the Eggheads.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Please return to your teams and we'll see what happens next.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50So, it's been levelled up by the Eggheads.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Strictly GI have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55The Eggheads have lost one, too,
0:09:55 > 0:09:56and the next subject is Arts & Books.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59So, Ben, who wants this?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Arts & Books?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- That was going to be mine as well, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I don't know. I think it's who wants it, I guess.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- I don't think either of us want it, particularly.- No, not really.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12What about if we take a risk that maybe Sport will come up next?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- So, Richard goes. - If Richard's happy to.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- If you're OK to do that.- Yeah. - If Richard's happy to.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19I think you stand a good chance.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Thank you for the confidence. - Richard? OK.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23- BEN:- I think Richard.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26The Arts & Books guy against which Egghead?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- You can have Lisa, Pat or Barry. - Which one? Barry?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Yeah.- Yeah, Barry, please, Jeremy.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- So, that's good news, isn't it? - It's good news for any subject.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38He just loves being picked, that's the thing.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40You had the same experience at school as I did
0:10:40 > 0:10:45- with the football team, did you? - I was always last.- I was, too!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48So, Richard from Strictly GI versus Barry from the Eggheads,
0:10:48 > 0:10:49please go to the Question Room now.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53So, Arts & Books, Richard against Barry,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55would you like to go first or second?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I'll keep with team tactics and I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Here is your first question. Good luck.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07What nationality was the playwright Arnold Wesker?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Right, I'm afraid it's going to be a guess
0:11:14 > 0:11:18and I'm going to take an absolute wild stab.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I'll go with tactics, go down the middle,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22so I'll go down the middle - American.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Barry, do you know? - He's British.- British.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Now, how do we know this, Barry? - I've read some of his plays.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Well, what are they? - Chips With Everything.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33OK, so, Chips With Everything is one of his plays, Richard.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Barry The Brain,
0:11:35 > 0:11:36as you're known.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Only by you.- Only by me. - Certainly not by my wife!
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Which fellow poet did the French symbolist Paul Verlaine shoot,
0:11:45 > 0:11:50though not fatally, in Brussels in 1873?
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Now, the answer to this sounds as if he ought to be shot
0:11:58 > 0:12:00because it was Arthur Rimbaud.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Oh, Arthur Ram-baud. I said Arthur Rim-baud.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Of course it's Ram-baud.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Gosh, I really grievously mispronounced that.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You're right, though. Rimbaud is right, yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Did I tell you my story
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- about how I was watching Rambo with my wife, Barry?- No.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16He goes up... I think he starts with some kind of shoot out.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19He goes up into the hills. He gets arrested.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21We're halfway through the film and my wife says,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23"When does he start learning to box?"
0:12:23 > 0:12:26HE LAUGHS So, got the wrong movie.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29OK, Richard, try and get this one right,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31put the frighteners on Barry.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Virginia Woolf's 1927 novel To The Lighthouse
0:12:35 > 0:12:37is set on which island?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Again, I'm afraid I don't know, so a guess.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Um, I guess there are lighthouses on all of them,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51but the only one I really know of is the Isle of Wight,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53so I'll go with that one.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- It is the Isle of Skye.- OK.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Barry, first published
0:12:57 > 0:12:59in 1953,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02The Golden Apples Of The Sun is a collection of short stories
0:13:02 > 0:13:04by which science fiction writer?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I really should know this and I don't.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13They're all famous science fiction authors.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Golden Apples Of The Sun.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21It just gives me a glimmer of Arthur C Clarke, so I'll go for him.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Do you know this one, Richard? - No, I'm afraid not.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I'd, probably... Again, team tactics on this one.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Ray Bradbury, probably.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32- The answer is Ray Bradbury, Barry. - Oh, well done.- Pure guess, Barry.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35So, you have got one wrong now and we go back to Richard,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37but you do need to get this right, Richard.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Basho, the Japanese poet acknowledged as a master of haiku,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44was born in which century?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Basho is spelt B-A-S-H-O in our alphabet.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Again, not a great subject for me, I'm afraid.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58So, erm...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Let's have a guess again.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Let's try 17th century.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- 17th is correct.- Oh! Sorry, Barry. - It's turning your way.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- It's turning your way a bit now. - I could have done that one!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14It's a very early art form, isn't it, the haiku?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It is. Very popular, too.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Mm. OK, Barry, if you get this right,
0:14:19 > 0:14:20you are in the final.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23In 1989, Gillian Ayres was shortlisted
0:14:23 > 0:14:25for which of the following?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I really don't know this one.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I've never heard of his name in conjunction
0:14:34 > 0:14:36with the Turner Prize or the Booker Prize,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38so I'll go for the Olivier Awards.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- No, it's the Turner Prize, Barry. - Oh.- How about that, Richard?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43That is a let off.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Very rare to see Barry only score one in this round.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49So, it goes to Sudden Death, Richard. Gets a bit harder.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50I don't give you alternatives.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55"All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe"
0:14:55 > 0:14:58are the last lines of which nonsense poem
0:14:58 > 0:15:00by Lewis Carroll?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I'm hoping it's one of my favourite ones.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07A great nonsense poem. I'm hoping it's the Jabberwocky.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Yes, it's the Jabberwocky. Well done.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Barry,
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Luxury And Degradation is a series of works focusing on alcohol
0:15:16 > 0:15:21by which artist born in Pennsylvania in 1955?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Oh, my goodness me. That's a toughie.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I have a feeling, at the back of my mind,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29that Andy Warhol was born in Pennsylvania,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33but is 1955 too late for him to be born?
0:15:33 > 0:15:38No, I've got nothing, but I think it's far too late for Andy Warhol,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41but on the basis that I thought he was born in Pennsylvania,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I'll go for Andy Warhol.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47OK, let's sort this out. Andy Warhol's birth year, anyone?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Be in the '20s sometime - 1929.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Yeah, we think about 30 years earlier, Barry.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- I thought he was... - The answer is... Any Eggheads know?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Jeff Koons.- Jeff Koons, Dave, yeah. - Oh!- Jeff Koons is the answer.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I would have never thought... That's not his sort of thing.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07He does giant inflatable balloon statues of dogs and puppies.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Your balloon is burst.- Mm. - Richard, I think that probably is
0:16:11 > 0:16:14the greatest comeback I've ever seen.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Since Lazarus, probably. - To get the first two wrong
0:16:17 > 0:16:19against Barry in Arts & Books
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and then to win the round - I've never seen that before.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25So, you're in the final. That's quite remarkable.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27And there we go, Barry.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Sorry, you've been knocked out. Please come back to us.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Well, Barry, that was a round.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34That certainly was a memorable round.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I don't think I'll forget that for a long time.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38And we should make a small correction.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I think, in the last game, we had Jacqueline du Pre as a man.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45In this game, I think you said Gillian Ayres was a bloke
0:16:45 > 0:16:46or you may have just mis-said or misheard.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48No, I don't think I mentioned the sex at all.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50OK, well, just to say, it's a woman, as you know.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- I heard him say he.- Yeah, we thought you said he.- You said he.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Did I?- Yes.- Oh! Sorry, I apologise. See, that's how bad the round was.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01He was so rattled. I've got a feeling about this game
0:17:01 > 0:17:03because you've completely rattled them.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05You've certainly rattled Barry,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08who will need to be put under a very warm flannel later.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Strictly GI have lost one brain from the final round.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13The Eggheads have now lost two.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Don't know what's going to happen next.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Last subject before the final is Politics.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Is this good
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- for you guys?- Not really. - No, it's not great.- Not really.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24If you get uncertain, you can just re-enact something.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Well, I'm going to take it.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- You happy for that? - Andy, civil servant.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Andy, against which Egghead? Either Pat or Lisa.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Lisa, please.- Very good.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34So, Andy from Strictly GI.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I thought it was going that way.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Yeah, cos, you know, that wasn't a contest.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Not even slightly.- You're all good at Politics. Come on.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44please go to our Question Room now for the last time.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Andy, tell us about what you collect from the Second World War.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52All sorts of different US items,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55but I sort of specialise in the chaplain items.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Oh, so, the chaplain, as part of the unit,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- would have certain special things? - Yes, that's right.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Obviously religious artefacts and what have you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Fascinating. What have you got? - Probably my prize piece
0:18:06 > 0:18:10is a 1941 Gulbransen fold-in chaplain's field organ.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh, so, he'd take the organ
0:18:12 > 0:18:14to play the hymns out into the field with him?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- To the front lines... - In a suitcase?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- ..for the service of the troops. - Isn't that amazing, Lisa?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'd love to say something like,
0:18:20 > 0:18:21"I'd like to play on your portable organ,"
0:18:21 > 0:18:23but I fear that wouldn't go down very well.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25It might lower the tone slightly, yeah.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Yeah.- And have you ever been to a re-enactment of some battle?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31You know, I would really like to go
0:18:31 > 0:18:32cos it sounds incredibly interesting,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34but I'm not sure I would want to get involved
0:18:34 > 0:18:37cos I fear I'd just be the person standing in the middle going,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40"What am I supposed to do now?" And getting in everyone's way.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43You have spectators, presumably, Andy, when you do them.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Yes, a large amount of public at some of the events,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- some of the larger ones that we do. - Good. Well, good luck in this round.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Politics may or may not be your strongest subject. I don't know.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Definitely not.- OK, well, do go for it. And, Andy,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- do you want to go first or second? - I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Your first question, Andy. Good luck.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05How many seats did the Scottish National Party win
0:19:05 > 0:19:08at the 2015 UK general election?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13This is going to be a complete guess,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15but I think they did quite well,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19so I'm going to go for 112.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24No, because I think there are only, I think, 59 in total in Scotland.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26So, it was 56.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28And the easy way to remember is that the other three
0:19:28 > 0:19:30were from one of each of the other parties.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33So, one Labour, one Con, one Lib Dem.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Lisa,
0:19:35 > 0:19:39who stepped down as Foreign Secretary in July 2014?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Not convinced Gove or Osborne have ever been Foreign Secretary,
0:19:46 > 0:19:47so it must be William Hague.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50William Hague, who's now in the House of Lords, yeah.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Andy, Zac Goldsmith,
0:19:52 > 0:19:56the Conservative candidate for the 2016 London mayoral election
0:19:56 > 0:19:59was previously the editor of which magazine?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Again, have no idea whatsoever
0:20:07 > 0:20:10and it's going to be a pure guess again.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12And I'm going to go for The Spectator.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14He's on the right, as The Spectator is,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16but it's not that. He's quite an environmentalist.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17It's called The Ecologist.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So, if Lisa gets this right, she's in the final.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22In which country, Lisa, are the CDU,
0:20:22 > 0:20:27the CSU and the SPD three of the main political parties?
0:20:29 > 0:20:34Now, is that, like, Zentral Sozialist and Sozialpolitik
0:20:34 > 0:20:38or something that you could associate with Germany?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42It might be Spain and I'll discount France.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48No, I can't make a better case than for it being for Germany,
0:20:48 > 0:20:49so I'll try Germany.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Yeah, I think the D is Deutschland in those names.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Oh, right.- Germany is correct.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56So, well done, Lisa. Sorry about that, Andy.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I know not your strongest subject.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00It's a shame History didn't come up for you guys.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03You were beaten by our Egghead and won't be in the final.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05If you both return to your teams,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08we will play that final round for £12,000.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12So, we were talking about German political parties
0:21:12 > 0:21:16and we had the SPD and I said all the Ds stands for Deutschland,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19which was a classic sweeping generalisation.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22SDP is Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschland,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26so I was right there, but the CDU - the D is for Demokratische,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29as in Democratic. Christian Democratic Union.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33And the CSU is sort of Christian Socialist Union.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- OK?- OK.- OK.- It might not come up for another five years,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- but when they do, you're ready. - Yes, absolutely.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42It is time for the final round,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:47 > 0:21:49won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52So, that is Chris and Andy from Strictly GI
0:21:52 > 0:21:55and also Judith and Barry from the Eggheads.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01OK, so, you managed to level it up here, Challengers.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03That's good. Ben, Shaun and Richard,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07you are now playing for a big jackpot here on Eggheads.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08You're playing for £12,000.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Dave, Lisa and Pat,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14you're playing to protect the money and your reputations as well.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21You can confer, guys, all right?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23So, Strictly GI, the question is
0:22:23 > 0:22:27can your three brains finally take down these three over here?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Jeremy.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34OK, Ben,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36here is your first question.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- You're Ben Major, aren't you? - I am, yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Do they call you Major Major when you do your re-enactments?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43No, they don't, but I used to get teased a lot
0:22:43 > 0:22:45at school for that, oddly enough.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47When they found out what I did for a hobby, it was... Yeah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50We call him a lot of things which are non-repeatable.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Here's your first question.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55What is one said to scream if shouting very loudly?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- It's blue murder.- Blue murder. - It's blue murder, Jeremy.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Blue murder's right. Screaming green robbery?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I might give it a go.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08It's not a bad idea, actually.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10OK, Eggs,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13what is the name for a hub in a computer network
0:23:13 > 0:23:16that stores programmes and data files
0:23:16 > 0:23:19that other computers in the network can access?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Go for server.- Server? - At least where I work, yeah.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Are we happy with that? We'll go with server?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Yeah.- Yeah.- OK. We're going to say server.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30That's right. Server's correct.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- And, Pat, you've got your big computer with you?- Yes.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34You carry it around everywhere?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Comfort to me, yes.- OK.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Server's right.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Your question, Challengers.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44In hunting, the partridge shooting season
0:23:44 > 0:23:46officially begins on which day of the year?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- Isn't grouse September? - Yeah, grouse is a lot later.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- I wouldn't have thought anything's on the 1st of April.- Too early.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59But you said something else was the 1st of September.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02That's grouse. I think - I think - that's grouse.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Would it be on a different day or the same day?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Yeah, well, that's... - Shall we just go down the middle?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I think we'll just go down the middle, yeah.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14We're not really sure, but I think we'll go down the middle
0:24:14 > 0:24:16with the 1st of June, Jeremy.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Let's see if they're right. Do you think they're right?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I fancied September, but I don't know anything about it, really.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22And you did kind of....
0:24:22 > 0:24:23You had your grouse thing,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- where you thought, "Well, it can't be that."- Yeah.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27It is the 1st of September.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- OK.- Sorry, chaps.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Don't worry. This has been a very,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34very higgledy-piggledy game, so you're not out of it.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Eggs, which Oscar-winning actor was a professional boxer
0:24:38 > 0:24:40before entering show business,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43once taking on the world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson
0:24:43 > 0:24:46in a 1909 exhibition match?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52It must be McLaglen, mustn't it?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Can't see it being Gary Cooper or Spencer Tracy.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It would be a stretch for Cooper, wouldn't it, sort of date-wise?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00To fight Jack Johnson?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Well, let's have a... - If it was Tracy or Cooper -
0:25:04 > 0:25:07big, big stars - surely we'd have heard
0:25:07 > 0:25:10the time they took on Jack Johnson?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Well, even 1909
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- sounds a bit early for both of them. - That's pretty early.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18So, do we know that McLaglen won an Oscar?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Yeah, he did do in the mid-'30s.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I think it's such an extraordinary fact
0:25:22 > 0:25:24that if it was Tracy or Cooper, we'd have heard.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I'm trying to remember what he won it for, just to qualify that.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Obviously, those two have won two each, haven't they?- Yeah.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33He definitely won in the mid-'30s.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- So, is he our preference?- Yeah, he's my preference, definitely.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- I would probably, yeah. - So, we don't really know.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- We've not really got an idea. - Well, Jeremy, we don't know.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45This is an extraordinary fact, but we don't know about it.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48We're assuming that if it was Spencer Tracy or Gary Cooper,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50such a juicy morsel, we would have heard,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53so we're going for Victor McLaglen.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- Victor McLaglen is right, Eggheads. - Good work, dudes.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59They're quite good at
0:25:59 > 0:26:02quizzing blind. So, you need to get this one right.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06The Zimmerman Telegram of 1917
0:26:06 > 0:26:08was instrumental in causing which country
0:26:08 > 0:26:12to join the First World War against Germany?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- I'm leaning towards USA, to be honest.- Yeah.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Cos I'm not sure when Russia joined it.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Russia was earlier.- Was it?- Sure.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30And...don't know about Spain,
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- but I, with the name...- Hmm.- Yeah.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37It's sort of erring towards America. I'm sure they joined it late.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Mm.- Yeah. Shall we go for that? - Go for that?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Yeah.- Go for America? Yeah? USA.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45We're going to go for USA, Jeremy.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47USA is correct.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51OK, Eggheads, your question now. If you get this right,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54the contest is over. Otherwise, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Which US President's portrait is printed on the back of a 50 bill?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Is it Grant? - I first thought of Grant.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Because I'm not... - I don't think Taft...
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- Can't imagine it would be Taft. - I think he's on a standard bill.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I'm not sure Cleveland's on any of the standard bills.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19Grant would be. Cos we've got what? We've got Lincoln, Jackson...
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Jefferson.- Washington. Lincoln's the 2.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Jackson's five, is he?- Yeah.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- I think Jefferson's on one of them. - Jefferson is on one.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I thought Jefferson was on the 2 bill.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32There's somebody else on one. Who's on the 100?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34The Benjamin is either 20 or 100.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Yes, cos they call them Benjamins, don't they?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- I'd be inclined with Grant. - I think it's Grant.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43And also with the history of Grant as well,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- as a war hero...- Yeah.- ..popular...
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- We're happy with that? - I'm happy with Ulysses S Grant.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51We don't think...
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Well, we're not certain,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55but we don't think that Taft or Cleveland made it onto the money,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58so we're going for Ulysses S Grant.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Well, you're very good on your presidents.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Ulysses S Grant is the correct answer.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Commiserations there.- Thank you.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Thanks for coming with a great back story.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- No problem. Thanks for having us. - And good quizzing as well.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23This roll continues, my goodness.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26It means you are not going home with the £12,000,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29so we take the money and push it over to the next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Eggheads, very well done.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I wonder if you can be beaten. I'm thinking not.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:36 > 0:28:39can take them down and win £13,000.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Till then, goodbye.
