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 > 0:00:33they are the Eggheads. Are you all warmed up?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Yes.- Yes, thank you.- Yes. - Ready to go. Fine.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Well, hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:41are the Industrial I.T. Crowd
0:00:41 > 0:00:42from Stockport.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Now, this team of challengers all work at the same IT company
0:00:45 > 0:00:47in the industrial market.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48So, let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Phil and I'm an account manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Lesley and I'm a quality and environmental leader.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Maz and I'm a regional manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Rebecca and I'm an account manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm James and I'm a technical support engineer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08- So, Phil and team, great to see you. - Hi.- Hello, Jeremy.- Hello.- Hi.- Hi.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- Are you happy to be here? - We are, yeah.- Yes.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Good. And you're all in IT?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Yeah, we all work for the same company.- In Manchester?
0:01:14 > 0:01:15- In Manchester, yes.- Right.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17And I know the IT Crowd, or the 'It' Crowd,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19is one of your favourite shows.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Well, it's because the specialist sector
0:01:21 > 0:01:23that we work in is industrial IT,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27it was just a play on words really with the IT Crowd.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29And what is it you like about coding?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32It's not so much coding, it's...
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We provide IT systems for the industrial market,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39so the manufacturing and infrastructure companies.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- So, the things that run production lines really.- Oh, I see.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- So hardware, as they call it. - Yes.- Yeah.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Well, Pat, this is right up your street, Pat, isn't it?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Cos you carry a computer with you everywhere.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50And it's down here, by my chair.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52He's a big computer man, our Pat.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55He's... Well, your whole life was code and programmes.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Not my entire life. I need sleep and recreation like any man.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- OK. Well, good luck. Let's see how you quiz.- Thank you.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Are you ready for this? - Oh, yes.- Yes.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:07 > 0:02:10for our challengers, however if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:02:10 > 0:02:13that prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Now, there has been quite a lot of rolling recently
0:02:15 > 0:02:18cos the Eggheads have been playing well. They've won the last 13,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21but I think that means this one is unlucky for them.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25It does certainly mean there's £14,000 to play for today.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27A good Eggheads jackpot.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Would you like to try?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29- Yes, please.- We would.- Yes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The first head-to-head battle is on science.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Now, that's going to be good, isn't it?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Yes. Yeah. I think...
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Are you taking that on, Maz? - Yeah, that will be me.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Yeah.- Yeah.- That's Maz.- Maz, OK.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Regional manager against which Egg?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- They're all dressed in very sombre shades today.- Who do you fancy?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Well, maybe tremendous knowledge Dave.- What about Lisa? Oh.- OK.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Yeah, is that all right? - Yeah, yeah, fine.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Yeah, Dave.- Good stuff.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58So, Maz from the Industrial I.T. Crowd versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Please go to the famous Question Room.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04So Science, Maz, and would you like to go first or second?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I think I'll go first, Jeremy, thank you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Good luck. The process of breathing in humans
0:03:14 > 0:03:17turns the oxygen we inhale into which other compound?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Right.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Erm...
0:03:26 > 0:03:31I think I'm going to rule out silicon dioxide.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I think the answer is carbon dioxide.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Carbon dioxide is the right answer, of course. Well done.- Yay!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Dave, what name is given to the young of a dolphin?
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Right.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Let's have a think about this. I'm...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Right, I don't like dolphin cub.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I don't like the sound of dolphin cub.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Er, Dolphin foal.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01No. I think whales are calves so I'm going to go calf, please.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Yes, well done, Dave. Calf it is.
0:04:03 > 0:04:09Maz, Argentine, leafcutter and fire are all varieties of which insect?
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Yes.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I...I think I knew the answer to that before the choices came up
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and I was hoping that ant would be on there
0:04:20 > 0:04:22and it is, so the answer is ant.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Yeah, fire ant et cetera.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Your team are applauding.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29For the first question you got one person clapping,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31the second question got two.
0:04:31 > 0:04:37OK, Dave, which of these gases is non-flammable in its pure form?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Well, I don't even understand the question to be honest. Erm...
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- HE CHUCKLES - Let's have a think about this.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Cos hydrogen would go up and methane would go up,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53so I'm going to have to go oxygen.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55But I don't really understand the question.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Oxygen is right.- OK.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I must be having a bit of a brain freeze. I'm sorry but I didn't...
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I thought that... Eggheads, help me here,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04because I thought that oxygen would go up
0:05:04 > 0:05:06because I remember there was a story of a guy
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- who was on an oxygen...in an oxygen tent in hospital...- Mmm.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12..and, against doctors orders, lit up a cigarette.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- And he went up.- He went up like a ball of fire.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Yeah, there was nothing left of him. - It doesn't mean that
0:05:17 > 0:05:20what goes into an oxygen tent is necessarily pure oxygen, does it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Just mostly oxygen.- I suppose not. - I think pure was the key word there.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Really pure. Not even oxygen tent pure but beyond that. OK.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30OK, Maz, your question. You're equal at the moment.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32What nationality was Frederick Banting
0:05:32 > 0:05:35who jointly won a Nobel Prize
0:05:35 > 0:05:38for his role in the discovery of insulin?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Jeremy, could you spell his surname?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45B-A-N-T-I-N-G.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47HE SIGHS
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Erm, so, I don't know the answer to that.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Erm, so let's try and see if I can rule some of those out.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58It doesn't sound like a Greek name.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I'll go with Canadian. It's just a guess.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I'll go with Canadian.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Yeah, just going from the name is hard but you got it right.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Well done. Canadian is right.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08And now they're all clapping.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Three out of three, Maz.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10- Dave, to stay in.- Yeah.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Which of these scientists was best known for their work with gorillas?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I think there was a film called Gorillas In The Mist
0:06:20 > 0:06:25and I believe Sigourney Weaver played Dian Fossey
0:06:25 > 0:06:27so that's my answer, Dian Fossey.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Dian Fossey is right, Dave. Well done.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Three out of three for you both. So, tight round on Science.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33We go to Sudden Death now, Maz.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I hope computers come up at some point.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44J is the symbol for which SI derived unit?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Joules.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Joule is correct.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Dave, Raphus cucullatus is the scientific name
0:06:53 > 0:06:56for which now extinct bird?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Can you just repeat the bird, please?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Raphus - R-A-P-H-U-S
0:07:02 > 0:07:06cucullatus - C-U-C-U-L-L-A-T-U-S.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Well, there's only one I can think now extinct that I can go for.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I didn't know that was the name.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- No, I'm not going to hang about, I'll go dodo.- Dodo is right.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Poor old dodo. Back to you, Maz.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21The steam engine pioneer Thomas Newcomen
0:07:21 > 0:07:25was born in Dartmouth in Devon in which century?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31So, if he was a steam engine pioneer,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I mean, steam engines were pretty big in the 1800s, right?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38So, my guess is that
0:07:38 > 0:07:42he was probably born in the 1700s.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44OK, 1700s meaning the 18th century?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Correct. 18th century.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48You got the answer wrong
0:07:48 > 0:07:51cos he was born, actually, 100 years earlier, 1663.
0:07:51 > 0:07:531663 or 1664.
0:07:53 > 0:07:5617th is the answer.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58So he was working early.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Dave, for the round, in computing...
0:08:02 > 0:08:04THEY LAUGH
0:08:04 > 0:08:06How does that happen?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Dave, a nibble is a group of how many bits?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Right. Cos there's eight bits in a byte.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19So, nibble, are we going two or four?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21It could be two, it could be four. I'm going to go four.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Maz, is he right?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I think the answer is four.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29A nibble is four bits. Dave, you're right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Maz, you've been knocked out, sorry, on Sudden Death.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34So, Dave will be in the final round. Well played to our Egghead.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Please come back, rejoin your teams. We'll play on.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40OK, so, a little bit of a wobbly start
0:08:40 > 0:08:42for the Industrial I.T. Crowd
0:08:42 > 0:08:44who have lost a brain from the final round.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45The Eggheads have still not lost any.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47All of their megabytes are functioning.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Let's go to Sport now.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Who would like Sport, Phil? - Shall I do this one?- Yeah, Phil.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Phil, team captain. - Yeah, that sounds like you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- I'll do this one. - OK, Phil, the captain himself
0:08:56 > 0:08:59stepped into the breach against who?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Judith.- Oh, no.- Judith.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- She looks so happy about it. - She does, yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06She's been reading the back pages recently.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Can I do Judith?- It's just a tradition.- You can. You can.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Phil, from the Industrial I.T. Crowd versus Judith from the Eggheads
0:09:13 > 0:09:14on the dreaded Sport.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16To ensure there is no conferring,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18please, both of you, go to the Question Room.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Phil, you're a sports fan?- Yeah. - What do you like?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I like watching pretty much every sport
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- but I play football quite a lot. - Uh-huh.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30And, yeah, generally just everything that's on telly
0:09:30 > 0:09:32is generally sport related.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That's amazing cos that's the opposite of you, Judith.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Absolute dead opposite.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38If anything, you'll be happily watching a programme
0:09:38 > 0:09:40and then someone will suddenly kick a football
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- and you'll turn the programme off. - Absolutely. Dead right.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Anything that becomes sporty or is sport.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Well, I quite like tennis, funnily enough.- Yeah.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I do like tennis but I can't wade through the whole of Wimbledon,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I have to say. I start watching it in the second week
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- cos it's a bit long otherwise. - Right.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57So, that's what you're up against, Phil.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- OK.- She's done a lot of work on it though and has become
0:10:00 > 0:10:01a doughty player on sport.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04And recently won, how many head-to-heads was it, Judith?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- I don't know, I don't count.- 600. - Oh, yes, those head-to-heads. Yes.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Yes.- But they weren't all on sport. - No, they weren't.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I think only three were.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- SHE LAUGHS - Probably.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15So, Phil, would you like to go first or second?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Here we go with Sport. Good luck.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26In 2005, Paula Radcliffe won the gold medal
0:10:26 > 0:10:30at the World Athletics Championships in which event?
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I don't think she does multi-events so I can't see it being heptathlon
0:10:38 > 0:10:41and I think she runs a longer distance than 800 metres
0:10:41 > 0:10:43so I'll go with marathon, please.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Marathon is quite right, Phil. Well done.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48So, the captain is still in.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50You've won 121 Sport head-to-heads, by the way, Judith.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Really?- Yeah.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54So, it's actually not to be sniffed at at all.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- I've done probably about 1,200 of them.- No, you haven't.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Don't run yourself down
0:10:59 > 0:11:01and there were some famous victories in there, as we know.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Here's the statistic you'll love.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06You've won more sport rounds than any other Egghead.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Cos I've played more.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- No, don't do yourself down, Judith. - It's my fate.- Just bank it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14That is a great statistic.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Actually, it's not bad, is it? - It is not bad.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18It's not bad.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21All right, so, let's see you put on the style now, Miss Keppel.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Which footballer was the man of the match
0:11:24 > 0:11:27in the 2005 Champions League final?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- In 2005?- Yeah.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Gosh, that's a big ask to remember that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Steven Gerrard.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Which team, do you know?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Chelsea?- No.- No. Liverpool?
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Sorry, it doesn't matter.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Manchester United?- No, but you're right. It is Steven Gerrard.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Oh, good.- You got the answer right. Well done.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Phil, see what you're up against there?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53- Yeah.- She's merciless.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Which of these is a term for a cricket pitch that has been prepared
0:11:57 > 0:11:59to take a lot of spin?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Erm...
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Before, I said that I watch a lot of sport on TV
0:12:07 > 0:12:09and I can't stand cricket.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- JUDITH LAUGHS - Erm...
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I'm going to go straight down the middle and say Bosie
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- but it's a bit of a guess. - See if Judith knows.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I think it's a Bosie.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- No, it's Bunsen.- Jeremy.- Yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- I presume it's rhyming slang. - A Bunsen?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Bunsen burner - turner. - Oh, I see, yes.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27We think it must be Bunsen burner means turner, Pat suggests. OK.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Judith, your question to go ahead on Sport.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Which golfer won the Open Championship
0:12:32 > 0:12:36three years in a row from 1954 to 1956?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40The only hat-trick of titles achieved in the 20th century.
0:12:44 > 0:12:4519 what?
0:12:45 > 0:12:4754, 55, 56.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Well, I think, although Jack Nicklaus is now quite old,
0:12:51 > 0:12:56I don't think he was old enough to be doing that in 1954.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00And I don't think Tom Watson was either.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I've never heard of Peter Thomson, that's the trouble,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06but I think it was him.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- You think it was Peter Thomson?- Yes. - Eggheads, do you know?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Yes.- Yes, it is, definitely. - She's got it right.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Playing well.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Phil, which snooker player won the 2015 UK Championships
0:13:17 > 0:13:20scoring a maximum 147 break in the final?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28There was a Chinese player that missed a 147 -
0:13:28 > 0:13:30he missed the black -
0:13:30 > 0:13:32that I watched recently - for a 147.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Erm...
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I'm going to say Ronnie O'Sullivan.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39OK. If you have got it wrong, you are out.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43He got a lot of publicity for sure in snooker. Did he do this though?
0:13:43 > 0:13:44- No.- No.- No.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Who was it?- Neil Robertson.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Neil Robertson was the answer here.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Sorry, Phil, you've been knocked out by Judith.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53She can be ferocious on sport, as we know, when angered.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Judith, let's just milk the moment here.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59More victories than any other Egghead in the sporting round.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01You've got another one there.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03You're in the final. Please return to us.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07So, a little stat for you, Judith,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10cos you're always complaining about Sport. You'll enjoy this.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14You now have 122 victories in Sport.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Yes, it's the most of any Egghead
0:14:17 > 0:14:21but if you combine the victories of Kevin and Dave and Lisa and Pat,
0:14:21 > 0:14:22it comes to 121.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25So, you're ahead of all of them combined!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27So, what about that?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30You are the sporting terminator - The sport-inator.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Well, I'm amazed, is all I can say.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33You are the serving machine.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Perhaps you'll stop asking me to do it then now.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40People are going to be increasingly worried about taking you on.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41There we are, Phil, how does it feel?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43You just ran into a wall there.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Yeah.- A wall of sporting knowledge.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46THEY LAUGH
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- She did really well. I'm just a bit gutted.- She did.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52So, as it stands, the Industrial I.T. Crowd have lost two brains
0:14:52 > 0:14:54from the final round.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57The Eggheads have not lost any and we play on with Geography.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Who would like this?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Lesley?- Lesley?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Lesley?- I'm not very good. I'll go though.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04- Yeah.- Yeah.- Lesley, OK.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Which Egghead, Lesley, would you like?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09You can have anyone but Dave or Judith.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Erm, Lisa.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13So, Lesley from Industrial I.T. Crowd
0:15:13 > 0:15:15versus Lisa from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Please go to the Question Room now.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21So, most weekends, Lesley, we find you travelling, I guess.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- That's correct, yes. - In which vehicle?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26A lovely orange Volkswagen campervan.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Oh, what, from the '70s?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- 77.- And you've had to restore that, I guess.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33We actually bought it, it was fully restored
0:15:33 > 0:15:36but I've done lots of interior design.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Does it go well? - Oh, it's amazing, yeah.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40And you and your hubby stay overnight?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Yeah, we've stayed over.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43We've travelled up to Scotland and down to Kent,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45so we've seen a lot of the country.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Never broken down?- Oh, a lot of times.- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Great stuff. That's a nice, old vehicle, isn't it, Lisa?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- They're absolutely beautiful machines, yeah.- They still are, yes.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57So, Geography, Lesley. And would you like to go first or second?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Could I go first, please?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Here is your first question.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09What colour is the top band of the flag of Germany?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Erm...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Could be any of them, couldn't it?
0:16:16 > 0:16:21- Erm... I probably would go for...red.- OK.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Those are the three colours of the flag, right, Eggs?- Yes.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27So, Lesley is absolutely right when she says it could be any.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Is she right with red?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30No. That's the actual order from the top.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Yeah, so it goes black, red, yellow, actually.- Black.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Sorry, Lesley, black is the answer.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Is there another country with black, red, yellow in a different order?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Which is it, Lisa?- Belgium. - Belgium, yeah.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41But they're vertical bands.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- So, it might be the same order just vertically.- Understood.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Question for you, Lisa.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Ben Macdui is the highest peak in which British national park?
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Ben Macdui?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Surely that can't be any but a Scottish national park
0:16:58 > 0:17:00so it must be the Cairngorms.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01It is the Cairngorms.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Back to you, Lesley.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Which of these is a nickname of the city of Venice?
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Erm... I'm not 100% sure but I think it may be The Eternal City.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- It's actually La Serenissima. - Oh, no.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Which must mean the very serene one, does it?- Yes, the serenest.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27The serene city.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31OK, Lisa, your question.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33If you get this right, you've taken the round.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Which US state lies at the north-western corner
0:17:36 > 0:17:40of the 48 contiguous US states?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Could you just repeat the question for me, please, Jeremy?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Which US state lies at the north-western corner
0:17:50 > 0:17:53of the 48 contiguous US states.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56OK, just checking, so, when you say contiguous,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59that means not Alaska, and not Hawaii.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Now, North Dakota is a fair bit further over to the east,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04so it's not the north-western corner,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08and Oregon is north-western but it's not in the corner.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09I think that's Washington.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I get these two mixed up cos I always think Seattle...
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Well, Seattle is Washington, isn't it?- That's right.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- And Portland is Oregon. - That's right.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19And working out which one of them is top left always befuddles me.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22But it hasn't befuddled you, Washington is right.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25So you have won on Geography. Sorry, Lesley.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Never mind.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- I know you probably knew her answers as well, so don't you worry.- I did.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Come back to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35As we stand now, the Industrial I.T. Crowd have lost three brains
0:18:35 > 0:18:37from the final round.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41This is probably the moment, Phil, to start foot on the gas
0:18:41 > 0:18:45or the computer equivalent - to plug in a hard drive.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Or a bit of extra... What do we do? A turbo...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- A bit of extra RAM, maybe.- A bit of RAM.- Yeah.- Some extra RAM.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53The next subject is Music.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Which of you would like this?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Am I...? Do you want...? - Yeah, you can take it.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00The look of fear says that I'm taking Music, is that right?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Yeah, you can take... No, the look of fear
0:19:02 > 0:19:04was being alone on the General Knowledge round, but, yeah.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Well, you never know. - I think you'll be fine.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- I'll have a crack at Music.- You can take it. You'll be back.- Yeah.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- James on Music, good stuff.- Yes.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14And you can have either Kevin or Pat.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Ooh, I'm spoilt, aren't I?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Both very good.- Go Kevin.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Exactly. It's a nightmare or a horror. I'll go with Pat, I think.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26OK. So, James from the Industrial I.T. Crowd
0:19:26 > 0:19:29versus a fellow computer geek, Pat, from the Eggheads.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Please go to the Question Room and we'll see what happens.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37James, leaving aside the IT job, I gather you're also big on rowing.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Rowing, yes. Member of a rowing club in Salford Quays.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- And you do a bit of work refurbing. - That's right, yeah.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45My role is fixing the boats, painting the oars,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47that sort of stuff - I do all the maintenance.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Just as a hobby.- And is painting oars just endless work?- It is.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Sisyphus is a lightweight, it's an endless task.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55So, what do they call the end of the oar,
0:19:55 > 0:19:56the bit that goes in the water?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58It's the spoon that goes on the end of the loom.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Oh, OK. Well, these are all parts,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02something that the Eggs would be very interest in.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Yeah, any rowing questions, I'm...
0:20:03 > 0:20:06And do you then have to paint something special
0:20:06 > 0:20:07on the end of a spoon?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09That's right. Each club has got its own design
0:20:09 > 0:20:11so I have to put on our club's design
0:20:11 > 0:20:14so you can see each boat coming down the river and identify the crew.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Brilliant. So, there we are. Eggs, that's helpful.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Oars have a spoon and a loom.- Mm-hm.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Pat, that will come up one day, won't it?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23It will. It's been filed away under rowing.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Yeah. JEREMY LAUGHS
0:20:25 > 0:20:26It goes onto your big computer system.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- If there's room.- All right. Well, good luck to you both.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31James, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I'll go first, please.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Not sure rowing will come up in the Music round but let's give it a go.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Do You Hear The People Sing is a song
0:20:42 > 0:20:44from which musical of stage and screen?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Hmm.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Do You Hear The People Sing?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Well, I've seen Grease on telly so I'll discount that, I think.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I think I'm going to go... A guess, I don't really know.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'm going to go for The Sound Of Music.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Let's check with your team-mates here.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- No, it's not. Les Mis.- Les Mis.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Les Mis.- Les Mis. It's the kind of revolutionary thing.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10You know, they're all getting together
0:21:10 > 0:21:11and overthrowing the royals.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17OK, Pat, the composer Johann Strauss the Elder was born in which city?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24I think both Strauss the Elder and Strauss the Younger
0:21:24 > 0:21:28are quintessentially Viennese so it's Vienna.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Vienna is correct.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34James, Wasn't Expecting That was a UK top 10 single
0:21:34 > 0:21:36for which singer in 2015?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Wasn't expecting this either.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44A little too recent for me maybe.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I'm drawn to Ed Sheeran, not on a personal level,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48but I will choose that as my answer.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49There is a kind of connection
0:21:49 > 0:21:52cos I think the two of them are buddied up
0:21:52 > 0:21:54but it's not Ed, it's Jamie.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Jamie Lawson.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58OK, well, that's awkward for our challengers,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00cos, Pat, if you get this right, you'll be in the final.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05My Generation was the 1965 debut album by which English band?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Well, the song My Generation,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I would immediately associate with The Who.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17The Beatles, no. It's not the Beatles.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's not the Hollies. It's The Who.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22The Who is the right answer. Sorry, James.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Knocked out there but not out of hope
0:22:24 > 0:22:27because if you come back to us we'll play the final
0:22:27 > 0:22:30and, as we know, one player in the final can still win.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:34 > 0:22:35it is time for the final round
0:22:35 > 0:22:38which, as always, is General knowledge.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:40 > 0:22:42are not allowed to take part.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45So, I'm afraid, Phil, Lesley, Maz and James
0:22:45 > 0:22:47from the Industrial I.T. Crowd,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I have to ask you, please, to leave the studio.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54OK, Rebecca, I know this is not how it was supposed to pan out
0:22:54 > 0:22:58but you are playing to win the Industrial I.T. Crowd £14,000
0:22:58 > 0:22:59and you can do it.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Judith, Kevin, Dave, Lisa and Pat,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08the Eggheads' reputation and to keep this role of yours going.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13This time they're all general knowledge.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14You are allowed to confer.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Sorry that doesn't help you, Rebecca.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19So, the question is, can you - with your one brain - defeat these five?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:21 > 0:23:22I'll go first.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Good luck. Take your time.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33The Trucial States is an obsolete name for which part of the world?
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Trucial is like crucial but with a T. T-R-U-C-I-A-L.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39The Trucial States.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Erm...
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Don't know the answer to this question.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Erm...
0:23:52 > 0:23:56I don't think it's Central America, I could be completely wrong.
0:23:56 > 0:24:02I think I'm going to go with United Arab Emirates.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05OK. Let's just see if you're right. United Arab Emirates?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Yes, she's right.- Yeah. - You're right.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Ooh.- And why Trucial?
0:24:10 > 0:24:11They had a truce?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Yeah. Well, it's an adjective
0:24:13 > 0:24:15that comes from the word treaty.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17The treaty was signed between
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Britain and the seven states that made up the UA, or became the UAE,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25for protection effectively,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and so they just became known as the Trucial States.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30OK. There we are. Well done.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32First question to the Eggheads.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Which mythological character is killed by Modred?
0:24:40 > 0:24:41- It was King Arthur.- Arthur.- Arthur.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Are you OK with it?- Yeah.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46That's part of the Arthurian legends
0:24:46 > 0:24:48and Modred killed King Arthur.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50King Arthur is correct.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52A lot of mythology recently, my goodness.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53King Arthur is right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55OK, over to you, Rebecca.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58What name is given to birds such as the grey partridge
0:24:58 > 0:25:02that do not migrate and often live their whole lives
0:25:02 > 0:25:07no more than a few kilometres from the place of their birth?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I should know this question
0:25:16 > 0:25:19because I used to work for a well-known bird charity.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23So, I don't think it's transient
0:25:23 > 0:25:27cos that sounds as though they're going to be moving somewhere.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33I know I should know this but I'm going to go with sedentary.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Sedentary, yeah.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Nomadic means kind of moving around listlessly a bit.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- So you've gone for the right word. - Yes!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42You've got two out of two. Sedentary is right.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45The birds that don't travel.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Eggheads, The Loved One,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51set in the Whispering Glades Funeral Home,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53is a comedic book by which author?
0:25:57 > 0:25:58- Evelyn Waugh.- Evelyn Waugh.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Evelyn Waugh, yeah.- Evelyn Waugh, yeah.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02That is Evelyn Waugh.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05You all seem to know it and you're all right.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Evelyn Waugh.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Two each. Third question can be crucial.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Here's your question, Rebecca.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13£14,000 up for grabs here.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16You're absolutely in step with them at the moment.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18You haven't put a foot wrong.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Which of these institutions was set up in 1829?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I don't think it's the bank
0:26:29 > 0:26:32cos I would've thought that would be quite a bit older than that.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Er...
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I think I'm going to go with the Old Bailey.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Old Bailey is your answer. So, the court in London.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44You're right to rule out the Bank of England.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Where you right to rule out the Met. Eggheads?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48- No.- It's the Met.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- Metropolitan Police.- It is the Met.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Metropolitan Police is the answer.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Two out of three.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Now, the Eggheads can finish the contest
0:26:55 > 0:26:56with this answer.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Otherwise, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03Who was King of England from 946 to 955?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- From 946 to 955?- Yes.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- It's Edred.- Yeah.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- It's definitely post Alfred.- Yep.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16- Oh, yeah, yeah.- It's Edred.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- Are you happy, Pat? Edred? - I'm sure you know.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Alfred and Ethelwulf were earlier.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25This is Edred.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You sound pretty certain about that.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28So, Alfred was the cakes, right?
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Amongst other things, yes.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I'm sorry, I always go to the cakes straightaway.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34When was Alfred?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Well, he was 871 to '99.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40There is not a shred of doubt in Kevin's mind, I can tell.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41It's usually a bad sign.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44The correct answer is Edred.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45We say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47you have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48- Well played.- Well played.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- You played really well, Rebecca. - Thank you.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And actually, a small mercy. Had they had got Edred wrong,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- you would've been thinking, "Oh, if I'd got the Mets..."- Yeah.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- "..we would have won it." - Yeah, that's true.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05So, we didn't see them make a mistake today, the Eggheads.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- Well played in the final.- Thank you. They played really well.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- They're good, aren't they?- Yeah. - Oh, it was a good game.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13In computer terms, they've got a few gigabytes work in there.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Commiserations to the Industrial I.T. Crowd.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21This winning streak, this role continues.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It does mean that you won't be going home with the £14,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:25so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Eggheads, genuine congratulations, you are playing really well.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Who will beat you?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:33 > 0:28:36have the brains to finally take them down.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39£15,000 to play for, surely someone has to.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Until then, goodbye.
