0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Challenging our resident quiz champions are...
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Now, this team are all members
0:00:37 > 0:00:39of the Association of Speakers Clubs,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42a group which encourages people to face their fears when it comes
0:00:42 > 0:00:46to public speaking and to overcome stammers and speech impediments.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hello. I'm Anne and I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm William.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm the national president of the Association of Speakers Clubs.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi. I'm Malcolm. I'm a customer service advisor.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello. I'm Martin. I'm a deputy head teacher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi. I'm Margaret and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So, Anne and team, thank you for coming.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Welcome. And tell us about the association, Anne.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Well, it exists to help people, as was indicated before,
0:01:15 > 0:01:20but a lot of us are members because we simply enjoy speaking.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23We have members who are in employment who maybe need
0:01:23 > 0:01:26to deliver presentations and so on as part of their jobs,
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and they also find benefit in what we can offer.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- And it's all about sort of fronting it up, right?- It is.- Yeah.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Facing the fear and doing it anyway...- Good stuff.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36..to coin a phrase.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I suppose this is the sort of thing you do, Eggheads.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- You have to appear in public quite a lot.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43It's true, I suppose. Definitely an element of that.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45What about quizzing? Do you get together to quiz?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Well, we quizzed at the last national conference
0:01:48 > 0:01:53at Southport, actually, earlier on, and Pat came along.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Oh-ho!- So...- He's not here today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- No.- He was on the losing team.- Oh. LAUGHTER
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Right. Game on. We like that.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:03 > 0:02:05for our Challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So, Witterers Inc, the Challengers actually won the last game.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15They brought a long roll the Eggheads had been on
0:02:15 > 0:02:17to a halt, but it proves it can be done
0:02:17 > 0:02:20and it means that £1,000 is up for you to win today.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Would you like to try? - Absolutely.- Yes.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Who would like Music?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- What do you think?- I'll take it. - Is that you? Is that you, Malcolm?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Yeah, yeah. I'll take it.- OK? Malcolm.- Yeah?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35- Malcolm?- I'll do that one, yes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Good stuff. And against which Egghead, Malcolm?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Any one of the five.- Chris...
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Kevin wobbled on Music at one couple...
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Go for Kevin.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49OK. I've been instructed for Kevin.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53OK. So, Malcolm from Witterers Inc going for Kevin, full-tilt,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56from the Eggheads, known as the Grand Master.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- So, Malcolm, you keep tropical fish? - Yes, I do, Jeremy.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- I've kept them for about 25 years now.- OK.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11And your favourite breed?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14The one that I would say would be the Tiger Oscar.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18The Tiger Oscar we bought at a young age,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20and they share the tank.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And as the fish got bigger and larger,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26the other fish were quickly disappearing.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Oh, no. LAUGHTER
0:03:28 > 0:03:31The two fish, they ended up six inches long,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35four inches high and an inch and a half thick.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38And at some point it outgrew the tank, I'm thinking.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Yes, and it came to the stage where I was afraid
0:03:41 > 0:03:43to start putting my hand into the tank.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46LAUGHTER OK, so, Malcolm, on Music...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I'm so glad I asked about that.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Malcolm, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Your question.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02What term refers to the sound of two or more notes heard simultaneously?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I would say for more than one note,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12notes are played together
0:04:12 > 0:04:16so I would say that notes are played in harmony,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19and that's the term that I would go for, is harmony.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Harmony is the right answer.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Well done, Malcolm. - Yeah. Well done, Malcolm.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Kevin, the title of the debut album by Oasis is Definitely what?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33It's Definitely, Maybe.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35It is Definitely, Maybe.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Malcolm,
0:04:36 > 0:04:41When Love Comes To Town, which reached the UK Top 10 in 1989,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45is a single by U2 and which blues guitarist?
0:04:49 > 0:04:55I've heard of John Lee Hooker. Not too sure of Buddy Guy.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59But I do believe that U2 had a hit with BB King.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01They did, and you're right.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02BB King it is. Well done, Malcolm.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- If you get into trouble, just set the fish on Kevin, OK?- Yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08LAUGHTER Get it ready.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Kevin, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing
0:05:10 > 0:05:14was a hit in the UK in 1976 for who?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I'm just trying to conjure up Rod Stewart doing that,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25but You Make Me Feel Like Dancing was Leo Sayer.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Leo Sayer is quite right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29OK, Malcolm, your question.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Get the third one right, see if he might go under.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Which singer appeared on Peter Sellers's 1960 album
0:05:37 > 0:05:42Songs For Swingin' Sellers under the pseudonym of Fred Flange?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Long before my time, this question.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52All three recognised singers.
0:05:52 > 0:05:58I know that Matt Monro did the Bond film From Russia With Love.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Andy Williams has always been very famous.
0:06:01 > 0:06:061960, I think, maybe too early for Tom Jones.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I'll say Matt Monro.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Nicely done. Three out of three. Matt Monro it is.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Confident play from Malcolm.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15OK, Kevin, to stay in,
0:06:15 > 0:06:22Ornithology, first recorded in 1946, is a jazz standard by which artist?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Yes, well, I've heard of Ornithology.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Charlie Parker's nickname was Bird,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37and so that's the name I was thinking of
0:06:37 > 0:06:39before the choices came up,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43but it's not beyond possibility that it could have been done by
0:06:43 > 0:06:46one of the others, possibly even in tribute to him.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47I don't...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'd be taking a chance, though,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52a real chance, if I went for either of those,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55It could be, but I shall say Charlie Parker.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Charlie Parker is correct.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Well done, Kevin. You've got three out of three as well.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Bird was the key word.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So, Malcolm, you go to Sudden Death with Kevin now.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Who is the lead singer of the band Blur?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm just trying to think the pronunciation of his surname.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I believe it's Damon Albarn.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Damon Albarn is right.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Kevin, your question. Sudden Death.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Which member of Duran Duran sings the line,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23"But when you're having fun,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25"there's a world outside your window,"
0:07:25 > 0:07:28in the original version of Do They Know It's Christmas?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- In the original version of Do They Know It's Christmas.- Yeah.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37Well, I mean, I don't know this, but I'll have to just...
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Again, it would be taking a chance if I went for one of the others.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43It may well be one of the others, but I'd have to say Simon LeBon.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Definitely his voice on that, yes. Simon LeBon.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47So, you're equal.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Sudden Death. Back to you, Malcolm.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Who released the 2014 album Never Been Better
0:07:53 > 0:07:57featuring the singles Wrapped Up and Seasons?
0:07:57 > 0:08:02This is where I am now out of my comfort zone for recent music
0:08:02 > 0:08:06and I'll just need to take one of the current singers
0:08:06 > 0:08:09on the scene for...
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Katy Perry.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- It was Olly Murs.- OK.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Wrong gender.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Kevin has a chance therefore to take the round on Sudden Death.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25Which Austrian composer created the 1819 one-act opera
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Die Zwillingsbruder, or The Twin Brothers?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32For 1819, in terms of, let's assume,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35big names who were active around that time,
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I'm struggling to come up with anybody other than Schubert.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42It's after Haydn, and he wasn't a great one for opera, anyway.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46So, I would have to go for Schubert.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48You need to give me the first and last name.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Oh, it's Franz Schubert.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Franz Schubert is the right answer, Kevin. So Sudden Death,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54you've triumphed. And, Malcolm, sorry.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- You've been knocked out, but he is very good, isn't he?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00So, come back to us. Early days.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03We will see what happens when you rejoin your teams.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06OK, as it stands, Witterers Inc
0:09:06 > 0:09:08have lost one brain from the final round.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11The Eggheads have not lost any so far. They're all sitting there.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Mind you, you had a bad game, the last one,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16so you need to rebuild, Eggheads.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18The next subject is Science.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Who would like Science?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21I think you do that one.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Do you want me to do it? - It's got your name on it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27OK, Margaret.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- Retired teacher. Teacher of science? - Yes.- OK. That's handy.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- Who would you like to go against? - Difficult.- Very tricky.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Are we going to try and take Chris out?- Take Chris?- Yeah, take Chris.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42OK, we'll take Chris.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- So Margaret from Witterers Inc versus Chris on Science...- Uh-huh.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47from the Eggheads.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55So let's go for it. Would you like to go first or second on Science?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I would like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Here is your first question, Margaret, good luck.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Adults of the common species of swan, known as the mute swan,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10have what colour bills?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17I don't think I have ever seen a swan with a purple beak.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I might be wrong, but I don't think so.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24I think the mute swan has an orange beak with
0:10:24 > 0:10:28a little bit of stuff at the side.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Right, I think orange.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- Orange is the right answer.- Good.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Chris, which part of the human body features
0:10:36 > 0:10:41a crescent-shaped whitish mark known as a lunula?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47You find those in your fingernails.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Yes, I've noticed it now.- Hm.- Yeah.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Lunula. Who knew?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Margaret, at the start of December 2015,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58which city issued its first ever pollution red alert,
0:10:58 > 0:11:02closing schools and halting outdoor construction?
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Difficult one, this.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I have the feeling that Beijing
0:11:11 > 0:11:14might have issued pollution
0:11:14 > 0:11:17warnings for quite some time,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20because China is quite polluted,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23San Francisco also.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I haven't heard anything about
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Limoges issuing a warning.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32But on the grounds that the other two
0:11:32 > 0:11:35have probably done this before...
0:11:36 > 0:11:40..um, I think I would plump for Limoges.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Limoges...- No.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45..is the wrong answer. It is Beijing.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It's interesting because I get your logic completely,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50that it's very polluted there, so they must have done this
0:11:50 > 0:11:53before, but this was the first ever pollution red alert,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56so it went to the top scale where they closed schools.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58OK, Chris,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01an arc second is a unit of what?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08An arc second? Yeah, it's an angle.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- You want to say angle?- Uh-huh.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Angle is correct.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Margaret, he's ahead. And you've got
0:12:14 > 0:12:15to stop him with this answer.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Madagascan Sunset, Peppered,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21and Emperor Gum are all species of which creature?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I'm not entirely sure about this at all.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34Given the colours, maybe we would try the moth.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38The moth has got the wing span to
0:12:38 > 0:12:39spread a sunset across its wings.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Moth is right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43So you're still in it, but if Chris gets this right,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46because of your earlier wrong answer, he's through.
0:12:46 > 0:12:53Sputnik Planum, photographed during a probe flyby in 2015, is an
0:12:53 > 0:12:56icy plane located where in the solar system?
0:13:01 > 0:13:07I don't know. Well, Ceres and Enceladus are both asteroids.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Have we got a probe as far as Pluto?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Yes, of course we have. We've gone past Pluto, so...
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Yeah, it must be on Pluto.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Pluto is the right answer, Chris, well done.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Sorry, Margaret, three out of three for him.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24They're playing well today, these Eggs, aren't they?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25- ALL:- Yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27You caught them on a bad day.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29That's what they like to do after they had a big defeat.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30They sort of come back fighting.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33So, Margaret, you are, I'm afraid, knocked out.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Chris is in the final.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37And please return and rejoin your team-mates.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41So it's looking a bit tricky for Witterers Inc.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43They've lost two brains from the final round.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46The Eggheads are playing well, they haven't lost any.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49And the next subject for you, Witterers, is Geography.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Ah,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52excellent, so that's me.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Don't go, don't go. Martin, that's you, is it?- It is.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Did you used to teach geography?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I teach in a primary school, so I teach everything.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- But I must say, I have a very strong interest in geography.- Lovely.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- So which Egghead? Obviously can't be Chris or Kevin.- Barry?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Yes, let's go with Barry. - Try Barry.- We'll try Barry.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Barry, famously, has been to every answer.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18We always say, every time an answer comes up, he's been there.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23So Martin from Witterers Inc versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- So Geography, Martin, first or second?- I'll go second.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36So Barry first.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Barry, direct trains to Liverpool normally depart from which
0:14:40 > 0:14:42London railway terminus?
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Is it...?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Waterloo's for the south.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49This is where Chris will be tearing
0:14:49 > 0:14:50his hair out, when I think...
0:14:50 > 0:14:55I think Paddington is the west, so it must be Euston.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Let's see, Mr Chris?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Well, it is Euston, generally,
0:14:58 > 0:14:59but not so many years ago,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02you used to be able to get trains from Paddington to Birkenhead.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05OK, thank you. Euston is the right answer, Barry.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Martin, Tobruk,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10the scene of an extended siege during World War II,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12is a port city on the coast of which country?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Is Tobruk in...?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Libya.- Oh. Straight there.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Libya is correct.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Barry,
0:15:23 > 0:15:28the name Ruthenia was used to refer to areas of which part of the world?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Ruthenia relates to a large chunk of Eastern Europe.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Eastern Europe's right.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Martin, your question.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43The celebrated Alhambra Palace is located
0:15:43 > 0:15:45within which region of Spain?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53The Basque country is in the north of Spain.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Has Bilbao as the capital.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Catalonia, in northeast Spain.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I'm thinking of Barcelona. It has to be Andalusia.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Andalusia is correct. Playing well, Martin. Very sure-footed.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Barry, your third question.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11The private Gramercy Park,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13accessible only by key,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15is situated in which borough of New York City?
0:16:19 > 0:16:23I've been to Manhattan and the only two parks I recall in
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Manhattan were Central Park and Battery Park.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28That's not to say, though,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30it couldn't be a private one because there's
0:16:30 > 0:16:34a lot of very expensive private accommodation in Manhattan,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37and they may well have their own park.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41So this is going to be a guess.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Well, I'm going to go for Queens,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45but I really don't know the answer to this one.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Yeah, the only way, I think, of guessing it is
0:16:48 > 0:16:50to say that it must be a bit posh,
0:16:50 > 0:16:51and it's the poshest bit.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54But...I, you know, help us, Eggheads, do you know?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- It's in Manhattan. - Yeah, it is, yeah.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Manhattan is the answer, Barry.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- And it is very posh.- It's very posh.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03So, a chance
0:17:03 > 0:17:06for Martin to take the round with your third question.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09The Lena River flows through Russia
0:17:09 > 0:17:12and empties into part of which major body of water?
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Is that the...?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I'm going to... I will have to take a guess.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24It sounds, by the sound of it, vaguely Scandinavian.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- I'm going to take a guess. I'll go for the Baltic Sea.- Barry?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30It flows into the Arctic Ocean,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32as many of the great Russian rivers do.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Arctic Ocean is the right answer, so we're locked on two points each
0:17:35 > 0:17:37after three questions. We go to Sudden Death.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Barry, your first question.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I don't give you alternatives here.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45The 2,000-mile-long Purus, P-U-R-U-S,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49is a tributary of which other major river?
0:17:49 > 0:17:53That's pretty long for a tributary.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57So I'm guessing that it would flow into one of the longest
0:17:57 > 0:17:58rivers in the world.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03And it sounds vaguely Brazilian, so I'm going to go for the Amazon.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Amazon's correct. Very well done.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07So you have to get this right, Martin.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12Which city in Tasmania, named after a town in Cornwall,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15is located where the North and South Esk Rivers
0:18:15 > 0:18:17become The Tamar?
0:18:17 > 0:18:21The only city I can think of in Tasmania is Hobart.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Gosh, this is a tough one. I'm going to have to say Hobart.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- It's Launceston.- Oh.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Launceston is the answer.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Martin, I'm so sorry, I can tell you're a very good
0:18:33 > 0:18:35geography player, but Barry squeaked it.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38There we go, with all those stamps on his passport.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Please come back to us and we'll see what the next round brings.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48As it stands, Witterers have lost three brains from the final round.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51The Eggheads are still sitting pretty, all five of them.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Knock one out now if you can because we've got the last subject
0:18:53 > 0:18:55before the final, and it is Film & TV.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Who would like this?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57I'll have that.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00OK. William, against which Egghead?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- Need to confer, need to confer. So what do we think?- Try Judith.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06What about David?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08David, try David.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Right, the consensus is we're going for Dave.- Fine.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Are you happy with that, Dave?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I've got to be happy with it, as my colleague, Chris would say.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I didn't know there was a new rule where I could opt out of
0:19:19 > 0:19:22the subject if I don't like it.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24All right, so William from Witterers Inc
0:19:24 > 0:19:25versus Dave from the Eggheads
0:19:25 > 0:19:29on Film & TV. And, please, for the last time, go to the Question Room.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34So, William, we were talking about the Association of Speakers Clubs
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- and you are the president. - I am. I am, for my sins.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39It's great fun. I really, really enjoy it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41And what brought you into it originally?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I love to speak, Jeremy, I really do.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46My problem is often understanding how to communicate and how to
0:19:46 > 0:19:51slow down, and how to get my point across, so what I've learnt
0:19:51 > 0:19:54at the club is really how to do all of that kind of stuff.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Good luck communicating in this round.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's all about content, a lot of the time?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You're not kidding. Three-legged stool, Jeremy, remember.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- Your content, your room and your audience.- Right.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06And if one falls out, the whole thing falls over.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Well, on the subject of the three-legged stool,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11we've got three questions for you and the content needs to be
0:20:11 > 0:20:13correct answers, so that's our version.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19OK, William, good luck.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Film & TV. Which of the following is the name of one of the characters in
0:20:23 > 0:20:26the 2015 film Star Wars - The Force Awakens?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Well, I think Orla Guerin is a BBC reporter.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I really don't know between the other two.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Oh, that's interesting, though, Matt Frei is also a BBC reporter,
0:20:41 > 0:20:45isn't he? So I think I'm going to go for Kylo Ren.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Yeah, Matt left for Channel 4 from the BBC, but you're right
0:20:47 > 0:20:52about Orla and him. Kylo Ren is the correct answer, well done.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53The content was there.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58OK, Dave, who plays the title role in the 2015 film Carol?
0:21:02 > 0:21:03I hope it's Cate Blanchett.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Cate Blanchett is right. What's it about?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- Do you remember?- It's a lesbian love affair.- It's a lesbian love affair.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14It's set in the 1950s. Written by Patricia Highsmith, originally.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17OK. Over to you, William, with your
0:21:17 > 0:21:18second question.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Which comedy writer presented the TV viewers' letters show
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Points Of View from 1979 to 1986?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Is this...?
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Ooh. Very difficult. Very difficult.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38I don't think it's David Nobbs.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42But it's close between Barry Took and Denis Norden.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43And, of course, I grew up in
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Ireland, Jeremy, and we
0:21:45 > 0:21:48didn't really have a lot of British TV in Ireland,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50so I'm not exactly sure.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52But I have a feeling
0:21:52 > 0:21:54that it was Denis Norden.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yes, it's the sort of thing he could have done,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- but it was actually Barry Took. - Oh.- OK, Dave.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Which children's TV show centres around Mossy Bottom Farm?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05This to take the lead.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13Oh, brilliant, children's telly? Just the kind of question I love.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Can you give me the name of the farm again?- Of course, Dave.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Mossy Bottom Farm.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I'm going to go Shaun The Sheep.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Yeah, it's brilliant as well. Shaun The Sheep is right.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24So Dave is in the lead, William.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25And you must get
0:22:25 > 0:22:29this right or it's going to be Anne on her own in the final.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Who played Carrie, the passenger of Burt Reynolds,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36in the 1977 film, Smokey And The Bandit?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Was this...?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Well, this is the first question that I actually have
0:22:43 > 0:22:46a fair idea that I know the answer to.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50It's not Goldie Hawn, she did Private Benjamin.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52It's not Sissy Spacek, she actually
0:22:52 > 0:22:54starred as Carrie in the film
0:22:54 > 0:22:56adaptation of Stephen King's novel.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I think it's Sally Field.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Yeah, I can see you know your movies. Sally Field is correct.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Well done. Sissy Spacek, if she had been Carrie in that film,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- there would have been...- There would
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- have been blood.- ..a lot more blood.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10So, Dave, you can still take the round
0:23:10 > 0:23:11if you get this right.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Which actor appears very briefly as a party guest in Woody Allen's
0:23:16 > 0:23:21film Annie Hall, telling someone on the telephone, "I forgot my mantra."
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I do not know. I've not heard of this and I should have heard of it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:331977, so it could feasibly be any of them.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I'm not happy with this, but I'm going to go Jeff Goldblum.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Jeff Goldblum is the answer, though, Dave, well done.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40So three out of three again for
0:23:40 > 0:23:43these Eggheads. They're really playing well.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44William, sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Ah, I was beaten by a better guy, Jeremy.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49So, Dave, you're in the final, and if you both come back and
0:23:49 > 0:23:52rejoin your teams, we will play that final round.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59It is time for our final round and, as always, it is General Knowledge.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:24:02 > 0:24:04won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08So, all from this side, I'm afraid, that's William, Malcolm, Martin
0:24:08 > 0:24:10and Margaret from the Witterers Inc,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12would you please leave the studio?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15OK, Anne. You are alone
0:24:15 > 0:24:18but you are playing to win Witterers Inc £1,000.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Barry, Chris, Judith, Kevin, Dave,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23you're playing for something which money cannot buy,
0:24:23 > 0:24:28to restore the Eggheads' reputation after the thing that happened.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35You can confer. Anne, I'm sorry that doesn't help you.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39The question is, can you with your one brain defeat these five?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43And the very last person I asked that to, managed it.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- So would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Here we go, Anne, good luck.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56As well as being the name of an item of clothing,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00which of these words can mean to eat voraciously? Is it...?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06To eat voraciously?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10I've never heard of anybody scarfing their food or gloving their food,
0:25:10 > 0:25:11but come to think of that,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15I've never heard of anybody socking their food either. Um...
0:25:15 > 0:25:21But I suppose it sounds, possibly, the most likely,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23so I'm going to go for sock.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Yeah, I have not heard this either.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Eggs, have you heard this? - Scarfing down doughnuts, yeah.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Scarfing doughnuts.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Oh, right.- Have you done any of that, Chris?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- I like a doughnut now and again. - Have you scarfed any?- Yeah.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39And scarf is the answer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42OK. Question for the Eggheads.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44The word factotum, meaning a person who does all kinds of
0:25:44 > 0:25:49services for an employer, comes from the Latin for which phrase?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Do everything.- Yes, do everything.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Yes? OK.- Do everything, totum.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00That's do everything, Jeremy.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Do everything is the right answer. OK, Anne, back to you.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05In German-speaking countries,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08a Kapellmeister is most likely
0:26:08 > 0:26:10to be in charge of which of these?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16So Kapell is K-A-P-E-L-L.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Yes, originally, he would have been in charge of
0:26:19 > 0:26:24a church choir, but obviously from that selection, an orchestra.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Orchestra is right, well done.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Over to you, Eggs.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Which British military figure was fatally wounded in
0:26:31 > 0:26:34a motorcycle accident in 1935,
0:26:34 > 0:26:39when he swerved to avoid two boys while out riding in Dorset?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47TE Lawrence.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- THEY MURMUR - Everybody happy?
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Yeah. It's TE Lawrence,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52who was Lawrence of Arabia.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54TE Lawrence is the right answer.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58So you need to get this one right, now, Anne, to stay in.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Holbeck Rugby Club,
0:26:59 > 0:27:05whose last season ended in 1904, was the original owner of which stadium?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Is this...?
0:27:11 > 0:27:17Ooh, somehow I think Elland Road is
0:27:17 > 0:27:21a more northerly stadium.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I must admit rugby is not my strong point.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26And if I'm honest,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I'm going to just have to take a guess at it and say Loftus Road.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32OK. I thought you were going Elland there.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Let's just check this with the Eggs. Portman Road, first of all,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- where's that?- Ipswich. - That's Ipswich.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38And Loftus is QPR, is that right?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Queen's Park Rangers. - Yeah, Barry, you know the answer?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Holbeck is the district of Leeds, where Elland Road is.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47So the answer, unfortunately, is Elland Road.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50The answer is Elland Road and, sorry,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53we have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Commiserations there.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- I think scarf was a hard one, I wouldn't have known.- No.
