0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:37are the Sunningdale Hackers from Berkshire.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, as well as hacking their way around
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Sunningdale golf course,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43this team of friends also enjoy testing themselves
0:00:43 > 0:00:47with crosswords in the clubhouse. So, let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hello, my name is Blaise. I am an insurance director.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello, my name is Philip, and I'm a company chairman.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, my name is Richard. I'm a property company director.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Hugh and I'm a company director.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Tom and I'm a trader.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05So, Blaise and team, good to see you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- Thank you for coming.- Hello, Jeremy.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Are you up for this? - Yes.- Absolutely.- Good stuff.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Tell us about the golf club.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Well, we're all sort of golf-orientated.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16We're golf mad. Some of us play at Sunningdale Golf Club
0:01:16 > 0:01:17or in that area,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20but we enjoy a quiz or two and ring each other up
0:01:20 > 0:01:22to do the Saturday morning quiz in the papers
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- and we're all good friends together.- OK.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And the quiz practice, is that quite competitive when you do it?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31More friendly. Just for a pint or two round the pub.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Nothing too serious.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36You know these guys are pretty serious and not very friendly.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Just to warn you.- Spotted that.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40If anyone wants to buy us a pint while we're quizzing,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- then we never say no. - Yeah, that might help.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- But I wish you well. Good luck with this one.- Thank you.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:46 > 0:01:48up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55So, Sunningdale Hackers, the Eggheads are doing really well.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58They're on a roll. They've won the last 12 games.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01So, that means there's £13,000 to win today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03The first head-to-head battle
0:02:03 > 0:02:05is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- So, Blaise, who would like this? - That's me.- Who did we say?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Richard has volunteered to...
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- OK, don't go just yet, Richard.- Right.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Richard, choose an Egghead. You can have any one of the five.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- I think Lisa is your target here. - I think Lisa, yes.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Yes?- We like Lisa.- Lisa. - The lovely Lisa.- This is amazing.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24She's been honed in on Geography for the last few games.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- It's interesting. - I'm loving it, Jeremy.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm not to blame for it, am I?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Yes, you're completely and utterly to blame
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- for everything that happens on this show.- OK.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34So, Richard from Sunningdale Hackers versus, we will now say,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37the Brilliant On Geography Lisa from Eggheads.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39See if that changes it. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42would you both please take your positions now
0:02:42 > 0:02:43in our famous Question Room?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46So, Richard, Geography and your choice.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55OK, good luck to you.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58What name is given to long, narrow arms of the sea,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01commonly extending far inland,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03that are formed by the movement of a glacier?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I think it's tarn.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Tarn is your answer.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Let's just get a heads up from the Eggheads on this.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- What is a tarn? - It's an upland pond, basically.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Oh, right.- It's fjord, Richard.- OK.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22OK, Lisa,
0:03:22 > 0:03:26which of these lines of latitude is the most southerly?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32OK, I thought you were going to start giving me numbers
0:03:32 > 0:03:34and you know what happens when you give me numbers.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37But that's not so bad. We're still dealing in words.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Let me just make sure I've got them the right way round in my head.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I think Cancer's the one above the equator, yeah.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Tropic of Capricorn.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Tropic of Capricorn is quite right.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Easy to go wrong there. Richard,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53what is the largest city, although not the capital,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56of the US state of Nebraska?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I think Bismarck is the capital of Nebraska.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'm not sure. I'll have to guess at Fargo.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Fargo's become famous through film and TV,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- but it's not Fargo.- Right. - It's Omaha.- OK.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Right, so, Lisa, you can actually
0:04:18 > 0:04:20win the round with this answer.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25The Timor Sea lies between Indonesia and which other country?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- The Timor Sea. T-I-M-O-R.- Yeah.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Um, first thought was actually the Philippines, but...
0:04:37 > 0:04:38..I have trouble because there are
0:04:38 > 0:04:41an awful lot of seas around Indonesia.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43And it might be Australia.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47It sort of depends whether it's to the south or to the east.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49No, I mean, I could sit here all day
0:04:49 > 0:04:51and not be able to pinpoint it exactly,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53but I'll say the Philippines.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Oh!- It is Australia.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Every time Australia comes up, you get the wrong answer.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- It's just me and Australia, we don't get on.- You don't.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01- We don't.- It is Australia.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04There we go, Richard. There's a let off for you there,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06but you need to come back into it now with this answer.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09What is the capital of the island of Corsica?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Well, Palermo is Sicily.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Um...I think it's Ajaccio.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Ajaccio is the right answer.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23So, well done. You're on the board, equal with Lisa,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26but if Lisa gets this right, she's in the final round.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Which Canadian province has the highest population?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I think Ontario is where more of the big cities hang out.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It sort of depends on the spread.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Hang on. Where's Montreal? That could skew it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Um, I don't know. I'll try Ontario.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Ontario is the right answer, Lisa. You've won the round. Well done.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Sketchy but on target.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's about as good as I can expect from Geography, Jeremy.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- I'll take it every time. - Well, you're in the final round.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Richard, you've been knocked out.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05You see how tough these Eggheads are now.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Come back to us, both of you. Rejoin your teams. We'll play on.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13OK, so, the Sunningdale Hackers have lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15We've hit a ball into the rough there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- I'll be taking a provisional. - Taking a provisional.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21The Eggheads have still not lost any, but it's early days,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and the next subject, gentlemen, is Music.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Who would like Music?- Was it me?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- It was you.- Yes, it was you. - It was undeniably you.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- It was definitely you. - It's me, apparently.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's you, Blaise. It's the skipper.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35We can find out the history of your name.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Would you like to take on an Egghead, Blaise?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40No, I don't want to take them on.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- I've got to, though. - Yeah, you have to.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48Well, there's very little chance of beating Kevin on History, Science,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Politics, Art, but maybe Music could be a weak point.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Good point. - We've got to get rid of him.- Yeah.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- He's got to go. - Yeah, you clearly watch the show.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59You know what's going on.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01So, Blaise from the Sunningdale Hackers
0:07:01 > 0:07:04is going into battle against the grandmaster,
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11So, Blaise, tell me about your name
0:07:11 > 0:07:12and how you came to be called Blaise.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Well, my dear father was a Lancaster bomber pilot
0:07:17 > 0:07:19in the Second World War,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and he completed about 44, 45 missions
0:07:22 > 0:07:25before they finally shot him down.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31And he was shot down by a squadron of Fokkers
0:07:31 > 0:07:37and was rescued by a very lovely and courageous woman
0:07:37 > 0:07:42from the French Resistance and taken to a farmhouse
0:07:42 > 0:07:45where he was nursed back to health.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49And he swore there and then that if ever he had a son,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51he would be called after that village,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54which was Saint-Blaise in France.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- So, that is why I'm called Blaise. - Oh, that is so powerful.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Chris, your thoughts on that. You're our Second World War man.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Yes, absolutely, yeah.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I mean, to survive 44 missions as a Lancaster pilot -
0:08:04 > 0:08:06that is going some.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Yes.- So, good luck in this round against Kevin.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Thank you for that story. Brilliant.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Well, I think that class had better go first, don't you?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17We'd better put Kevin in to bat.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22OK, high-stakes gamble. Let's see if he trips up.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24So, it's Music, Kevin going first.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Kevin, the stage musical Seven Brides For Seven Brothers
0:08:28 > 0:08:30is set in which US state?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39The brothers concerned are lumberjacks, essentially,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42and I think they're involved in the logging business.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Not that that rules anything out specifically,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46but the Pacific Northwest is very well known for that.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I believe this is Oregon.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Oregon is right.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Blaise, your question.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Which of these is the title of an album by Marvin Gaye?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00By Marvin Gaye.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Purple Rain was Prince, I think, wasn't it?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08It's a toss up just between the two. I don't know either of them.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I will go for Face Value.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Ah, that's a Phil Collins album, actually.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17But you're absolutely right about Purple Rain.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21What's Going On is Marvin Gaye. That is one of his famous songs.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Kevin, which song was a UK number one hit single
0:09:23 > 0:09:26for the band Years And Years in 2015?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Well, there's nothing really to say about any of those,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35choosing between them. I believe it was King.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Yeah, King is right.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39So, you need this one
0:09:39 > 0:09:41as you went second, Blaise.
0:09:41 > 0:09:47Free Fallin' and Learning To Fly are songs by which American singer?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Falling without a G. Free Fallin'.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Well, The Big O,
0:09:55 > 0:10:00I don't remember him singing Free Fallin', Learning To Fly.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Bob Dylan wrote and sang loads and loads and loads of songs,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05but I don't recognise those.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I will have to have a go at Tom Petty.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10It is Tom Petty. Well done.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14So, Kevin, this for the round.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Which composer is often said
0:10:16 > 0:10:19to have ruined his career as a concert pianist
0:10:19 > 0:10:22by using a home-made finger-stretching device
0:10:22 > 0:10:23of his own design?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Oh, I can't remember. I'm sort of aware of the story,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34but I can't remember who it was.
0:10:34 > 0:10:40The one who had the biggest career, if you like, as a concert pianist
0:10:40 > 0:10:43and was the equivalent of a pop star of his day,
0:10:43 > 0:10:44really, was Liszt.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49It could be either of the others, but I think,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53on the basis of him having the biggest concert career,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I would have to go for Liszt.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Understood. Any Eggheads tried this finger-stretching device?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- You've not tried this at home or anything?- No.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03We don't want you invalided out.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- It's Robert Schumann. - Pat says it's Robert Schumann.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Ah.- Because your hands, the fourth finger on each hand
0:11:08 > 0:11:10is naturally slightly weak
0:11:10 > 0:11:13and he devised some sort of mechanical contraption
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- to strengthen it, and it went all wrong.- Oh, dear.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Robert Schumann is the answer, Kevin.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20But that's good for you, Blaise.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22You have a chance to take him to Sudden Death
0:11:22 > 0:11:24if you get this right.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27The overture to which of these operas
0:11:27 > 0:11:30was reputedly written on the morning of its premiere
0:11:30 > 0:11:34with its composer suffering from a massive hangover?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I was hoping you were going to ask me a question about The Beatles
0:11:41 > 0:11:43or something from the '60s. This is, once again,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47slightly before my time and not my specialist subject.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50So, basically, you're asking me
0:11:50 > 0:11:52which one of these composers drank the most.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- HE CHUCKLES - Well, Carmen,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58that was by Bizet, wasn't it?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Assuming that he was French and used to enjoy a little tipple of wine,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I will have a go at Carmen.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Don Giovanni.- Oh, well. - Don Giovanni is the answer.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Sorry, Blaise, you've been knocked out.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Kevin will be in the final.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Come back to us and we'll see if the Challengers can turn it around.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19So, as it stands, the Sunningdale Hackers
0:12:19 > 0:12:21have lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24The Eggheads are there still sitting pretty, all five of them.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25We need to change that, Challengers.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28The next subject, I think you'll like. It's History.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Who would like this? - Who was our history man?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- That's you, Philip, isn't it? - Is it me?- I think that's you.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- The oldest and wisest.- Definitely.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38So, Philip, the wisest.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Well...- Who looks the least wise there?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- David?- Dave, Pat or Chris?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I'm afraid I think it's Tremendous Knowledge David.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49OK, Tremendous Knowledge David. Nice, formal address.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51So, Philip from the Sunningdale Hackers
0:12:51 > 0:12:54versus TKD from the Eggheads.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Please go to the special room now.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00So, Philip - History. I noticed that somebody said
0:13:00 > 0:13:02you're going on History cos you're the oldest,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04which I don't think you even are in your team,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- but anyway... - I'm certainly not. I'm third.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Yes. I don't know what's going on there.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16OK, here is your question.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Good luck against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21What was the Spanish Inquisition?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Well, it was not an early Spanish parliament.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Although I like the sound of mercenary unit,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36it was, in fact, an ecclesiastical court.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Ecclesiastical court is correct.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40And is it very wrong that, as soon as those words are said,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I think of Monty Python?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44HE LAUGHS I can't get it out of my head.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Yes, I remember that well.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48OK, Dave.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Doc Holliday played an important role
0:13:51 > 0:13:53in which of these historical events?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I think it was the gunfight at the OK Corral.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- 1881, is it? Yeah? - Let's check with Kevin.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Yeah, 1881. - That's the gunfight, is it?- Yes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10All right, so, gunfight at the OK Corral
0:14:10 > 0:14:11is the right answer.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13So, Philip, your question.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Which of these German cities was famously the target
0:14:16 > 0:14:18of an intense bombing campaign
0:14:18 > 0:14:22from the 13th to the 15th February 1945,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24a campaign that almost destroyed the entire city?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Well, I'm very pleased Hamburg's not up there
0:14:29 > 0:14:31because I would have been concerned then.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I think it was...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36It wasn't Munich, I don't think it was Rostock
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and I think it was one that caused, and still causes, great controversy.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I think it was Dresden.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44It was indeed Dresden. Yes, you're right. Well done.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47OK, Dave,
0:14:47 > 0:14:48which King of England died,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52possibly through foul play, in Pontefract Castle?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I don't think it's George II.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Don't think it's Edward II. I think it's Richard II.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Richard II is the right answer.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06OK, over to you, Philip.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09In which year was the political philosopher
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Niccolo Machiavelli born?
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Oh, I hate these questions. I don't think it was 1669.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I'm not entirely sure...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29..sadly, but I think I'm going to go 1469.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Yes, absolutely right. Well done. 1469.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35So, three out of three on History.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Can Dave stay in?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39What name is given to the explosion
0:15:39 > 0:15:42roughly equal to 1,000 Hiroshima bombs
0:15:42 > 0:15:46that occurred in a Siberian forest in June 1908?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54There's only one of those I've heard of.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I'll have to go for it. The Tunguska event.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59And you're right, though I feel I need background.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Do you know much more about this? Was it man-made, Eggheads?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06No, it's one of those things that happened.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I mean, there's all sorts of wild theories out there.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Everything from alien spaceship blowing up
0:16:11 > 0:16:13to the earth being struck by a mini black hole.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16But the fact remains that there was this huge explosion
0:16:16 > 0:16:19in a literally unpopulated area of Siberia,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23and when they got there, all the trees were laying flat...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- ..for about 50 miles around.- Wow.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31OK, well, anyway, he got it right, I'm afraid, Philip, so, three-three.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32We go to Sudden Death.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35You've played a perfect round so far in History. Good luck here.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39The American-born inventor
0:16:39 > 0:16:43best known for inventing the recoil-operated machinegun
0:16:43 > 0:16:45is Hiram who?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49So, Hiram is H-I-R-A-M.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I know it. I know it.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Um...
0:17:00 > 0:17:02One thinks of Bren gun, Sten gun.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Gatling.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- No, Maxim.- Ah.- Hiram Maxim.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So, this for the round, Dave.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14The 1943 Battle of Kursk,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18believed to be the largest tank battle in history,
0:17:18 > 0:17:22was fought between forces from the Soviet Union and which country?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I don't see any other reason to go against this one.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35So, it's Soviet Union... Yeah, I'm still going to go Germany.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Chris, is it Germany?- It is, yeah.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Germany's the right answer, Dave. Well done. You've taken the round.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Sorry about that, Philip.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Beaten by our Egghead.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47And if you come back to us, both of you,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49we'll see what happens in the last round before the final.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53As it stands, the Sunningdale Hackers
0:17:53 > 0:17:55have lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58The Eggheads have not lost any. This is the moment, guys.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00What is the golfing term?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Hook it?- We're dormie down,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04but these matches can still be won in extra holes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Oh, they can be won in extra holes, no question.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09The last subject before the final is Film & TV.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12So, who wants this? Tom or Hugh?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14It's Tom, isn't it?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Yeah.- OK, Tom.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Against which Egg? Pat or Chris?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I think that Chris might stumble and fall.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- He might hack it into the rough and fail to get out.- OK, Chris.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29All right, Tom from the Sunningdale Hackers
0:18:29 > 0:18:33versus our Chris, the Locomotive, as we call him.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Please go to the Question Room now.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39So, Film & TV. Tom, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I'm not as confident as Blaise, so I'll go first.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Work's for me. Here we go, Tom. Good luck.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Walter White and Jesse Pinkman
0:18:49 > 0:18:52are characters in which US TV drama series?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Not one I've watched.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Um, possibly, I'm going to go with...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Breaking Bad, I'm going to go for.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Yeah, I'm glad you did. It's right, Breaking Bad.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09OK, Chris,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12in which film does Sandra Bullock provide the voice
0:19:12 > 0:19:15of a villainous character named Scarlet Overkill?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Unlikely to be Minions.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Unlikely to be The Good Dinosaur.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29So, I'll go with Inside Out.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- No, it's Minions.- Is it? - Yes, it's Minions, Chris.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36So, you have a bit of an advantage here, Tom.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Don't lose it.- Let's hope not.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40In which film does Noel Coward
0:19:40 > 0:19:44play the role of the crime boss Mr Bridger?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Pretty sure about this one.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Michael Caine's favourite line as his lackey.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Definitely The Italian Job.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Yeah, cos he's in prison, isn't he? - That's right.- Noel Coward.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02The Italian Job is right.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04OK, Chris... I love that film.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07..who plays Tuppence Beresford
0:20:07 > 0:20:10in the TV detective series Partners In Crime?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- And if you get this wrong, Chris, it's over.- Hm.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I think that's Jessica Raine.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24It is Jessica Raine. Well done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26So, you're still in it,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28but, Tom, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31What is the name of the character played by Charlize Theron
0:20:31 > 0:20:35in the 2015 film Mad Max - Fury Road?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Pretty sure about this.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I don't know the answer. Um...
0:20:48 > 0:20:52I'm going to go for the middle - Imperator Furiosa.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Sort of sounds like the most likely, doesn't it?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57And that almost would put me off, but, Eggheads, is he right?
0:20:57 > 0:21:02- Yeah.- Imperator Furiosa gets you into the final. Well done.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Maybe the tide is turning here
0:21:04 > 0:21:06for our Hackers. Sorry, Chris, you've been knocked out.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09If you return to us, we'll play the all-important final round.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13And this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15It is time for the final round,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:20 > 0:21:21to take part in this round.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23So, that is Blaise, Philip and Richard
0:21:23 > 0:21:27from the Sunningdale Hackers, but also Chris from the Eggheads.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So, Hugh and Tom, you are playing to win
0:21:33 > 0:21:36the Sunningdale Hackers £13,000. Good jackpot today.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Kevin, Dave, Lisa and Pat,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:21:41 > 0:21:43the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49They're all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51So, Sunningdale Hackers, the question is,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54can your two brains defeat these four?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I'm sure, on a good day, you can. The question is, is this a good day?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Would you like to go first or second?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I think we're going first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07OK, here's your first question. Good luck.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12Which overseas territory of the UK has a capital called The Valley?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17It's not Bermuda or...
0:22:17 > 0:22:20The capital of Bermuda is not The Valley.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Well, Falklands is Port Stanley. - It must be Anguilla.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Bermuda's not The Valley, so it must be.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29So, it must be the middle one. It must be Anguilla.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Yeah, that's right. That's how elimination works.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33You've done it brilliantly.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36So, first point there to our Challengers.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Eggheads, in Turkish cookery, what are borek?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42B-O-R-E-K. O has two dots on it.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Filled pastries.- Is that pastries? - Yeah, my immediate thought
0:22:51 > 0:22:53was to do with sort of bread and pastry.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- Filled pastries.- Filled pastries. - We think they're filled pastries.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yes, and Kevin putting on a style in a Food & Drink question.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Wow. Filled pastries.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Collector's item moment on Eggheads. - Yeah, thanks.- One each.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Back to you. In 2015,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Gary Neville was appointed head coach
0:23:12 > 0:23:14of which Spanish football club?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Football - not our greatest subject.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I don't think it's Athletic Bilbao.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29It's either Real Sociedad or Valencia.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- I think it's Valencia.- Is it? OK.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35But I wouldn't be anything like certain.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I'm not a big soccer fan. I'm more of a rugby fan, but...
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Yeah, me too. Um, I'll go with you.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44We're going to go with the first one - Valencia.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Valencia's right. Well done.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50OK, Eggheads,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54who plays the title role in the film Victor Frankenstein?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- McAvoy.- McAvoy.- Daniel Radcliffe was playing Igor, I think.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Yeah, Radcliffe's Igor and James McAvoy is Victor Frankenstein.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Cumberbatch did it on stage, but not in the film.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Yeah, so, it's McAvoy.- James McAvoy.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11That's James McAvoy.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13James McAvoy is correct.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16OK, third question can be crucial, guys.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Steel yourselves here. Here it is.- Nice, easy one.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23The Continental Marines, now known as the US Marine Corps,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26was founded during which conflict?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Ooh, this is a big one.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I don't think this would be the Civil War, do you?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38It sounds like when they were together.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40So, it's either when it was the War of Independence
0:24:40 > 0:24:42or World War I.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I don't think World War I either.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- You don't think World War I? - Wait, let's have a...
0:24:47 > 0:24:48The Continental?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Why would they have called it the Continental Marines?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Presumably cos it was all about the whole of America,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- so it might've been... - The War of Independence.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- ..War of Independence, yeah. - Go with that.- Go with that.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02US War of Independence is the right answer. Yay!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05You made short work of that, gentlemen.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Your three colleagues at the back are looking very pleased.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11OK, so, if the Eggheads get this wrong,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14£13,000 is won by our Challengers.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17That may be the last bit of work you have to do today. Who knows?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Here's your question. In March 2015,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22which Olympic gold medal-winning cyclist
0:25:22 > 0:25:25announced her intention to become a jockey?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- Victoria Pendleton. - Trott's still on the bike,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- but it's definitely Pendleton. - She's been riding...- At Cheltenham.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36At Cheltenham, yeah. Victoria Pendleton.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38That's Victoria Pendleton.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Victoria Pendleton is the right answer.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Sudden Death, then, in the final round. £13,000
0:25:44 > 0:25:45we're playing for. Gets a bit harder.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I don't give you alternatives.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50So, Tom and Hugh, your question.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Which team caused perhaps the greatest shock result
0:25:53 > 0:25:58in Rugby Union World Cup history when it defeated South Africa
0:25:58 > 0:26:00in the group stages of the 2015 competition?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I was there in Brighton. Japan.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Japan is right.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08OK, so, has that won you £13,000?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Let's see. Sudden Death.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Eggheads, which northern Italian city
0:26:12 > 0:26:16is home to the Pirelli Tower, completed in the 1950s?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Is it Milan?- It's Milan, isn't it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Milan's Pirelli, isn't it? - Let's, um...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26..think about it a second, just to make sure.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I'm pretty sure it's Milan, but we'll just have a...
0:26:28 > 0:26:32It's not any of the other big cities in northern Italy either.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- So, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Milan.- What about you, Pat?
0:26:35 > 0:26:36I think it's Milan.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Yeah? We're happy, aren't we?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40I'm going with the majority. Don't look at me.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41We think that's Milan.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Milan is correct. The city's tallest building at the time.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47So, Sudden Death.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Keep plugging on here. £13,000 to win.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Which Chinese artist was arrested at Beijing Airport in 2011
0:26:55 > 0:26:58under suspicion of economic crimes
0:26:58 > 0:27:01in an incident that sparked international condemnation?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Is his name An Wei? Something like that?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06An Wei, isn't it?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09The guy with the beard and does the sort of installation type...
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Yeah, I think his name's An Wei. - An Wei is your answer.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15The name is Ai Weiwei.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Ai Weiwei.- So, you're close, but not close enough.- Yeah.
