0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:28pit their wits against possibly
0:00:28 > 0:00:29the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Victuallers, from Berkshire.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, this team of colleagues
0:00:38 > 0:00:42all work together at LVS Ascot School, so let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm James and I'm a psychology teacher.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Rebecca and I'm a biology teacher.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Tom and I'm a history teacher.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Sue, I'm a school librarian.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Nigel and I'm a maths teacher.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- So, James and team, good to see you.- Hello!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hope you're looking forward to playing this crowd.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- Very much so, yah. - And tell us about the LVS school.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Well, Licensed Victuallers School,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08it's a school set up a couple of 100 years ago,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11part of a licensed trade charity for children of publicans.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15It still has that tradition today but is open to everyone.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20And yes, the charity is there for the licensed drinks trade.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22And the word victuallers is not used so much now
0:01:22 > 0:01:24but it means drinkers, right?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- And publicans. - Drinkers and publicans, OK.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28So, do we like the word victuallers,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30have we got any history of victuallers?
0:01:30 > 0:01:36Well, victuals is a long-standing word for food and drink.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38So, it's basically what keeps you going?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Yes, the idea being it's what gives you life and keeps you going.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And I was interested to see, James,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47that you are the two-time winner of the Welsh Memory Championships.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Yes, that's true.- Meaning that you can memorise stuff?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Yes, well, yeah, any facts and figures and things,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55you learn techniques to try and remember as much as possible.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Have you been doing some really last-minute revision?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01A bit of cramming, which we try and advise the students
0:02:01 > 0:02:03not necessarily to do, but using the memory skills
0:02:03 > 0:02:05and trying to get them in.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- But we teach the students that as well.- OK, all right.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Well, good luck against the Eggs here, all five of them.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:13 > 0:02:15for our Challengers.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So, Victuallers, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25which means that there's £2,000 to play for today.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Would you like to start?- Yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Great, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I'm thinking that's good, isn't it?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- So, I think that's a fairly obvious one, isn't it?- I'm afraid so.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- We've got a history teacher here, so we can...- Yeah.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- We have a history teacher?- Start off with...- I think that might be me.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Yes, we all good?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Good stuff, and who looks like they're not a history teacher?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Obviously, they're all good at history. Who do you fancy?
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Absolutely, shall we take perhaps Lisa to start with?- Yes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56We'll have Lisa, please.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Tom from the Victuallers versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Well, this is handy, Tom.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08You come into Eggheads, you're a history teacher,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10the first round is History, couldn't be better.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Could go one of two ways, at this point, I suppose.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14It can go the other way, cos they are good.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17All the best against our Lisa. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I'll go first, please.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23And here we go.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28The Act Of Settlement of 1701 barred anyone who was Catholic
0:03:28 > 0:03:32or who married a Catholic from becoming which of the following?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Well, the Act Of Settlement,
0:03:37 > 0:03:38that's, I think, unifying
0:03:38 > 0:03:42the kingdoms of England and Scotland, isn't it?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45So, based on that, I will go with monarch, I think.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- I'm sure you know this, monarch is the right answer, yes.- Yes!
0:03:50 > 0:03:52OK, Lisa.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56What was the status of Sweden during World War II?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I think they were neutral.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Neutral is correct, Lisa. - Hooray.- So, back to Tom.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11When Konstantin Chernenko was briefly leader of the Soviet Union,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14who was his opposite number in the White House?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Well, I don't, I don't know the name, unfortunately.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I know the periods,
0:04:26 > 0:04:31the years that all of those three served in the White House.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36So, we've got, Carter is I think '77 to '81,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Reagan is '81 to '89 and Bush is '89 to '93.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44And it's going to have to be purely on the basis that Reagan served
0:04:44 > 0:04:46twice as long as Carter, I'm going to go with Reagan, I think.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Yes, Reagan is right. Well done.- Yes!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Lisa, over to you.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54The Tudor era began in which century?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- The Tudor era, Jeremy? - The Tudor era.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04"A handbag!" Sorry, I'll behave myself.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Yes, the Tudor era began in 1485 with Henry VII.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It's the 15th century.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11You are right, it is the 15th.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14How embarrassing would it have been if you had got that wrong?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Desperately.- OK, two each, Tom. See if you can throw her off.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18I'll do my best.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22While in exile in November 1945,
0:05:22 > 0:05:27King Peter II was deposed as monarch of which European country?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34So, obviously we're looking at the end of the Second World War here.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Belgium makes a certain amount of sense being in exile, I suppose,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41under German occupation.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Not entirely sure of the status of the other two at the time.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I think purely on the basis I've got more information on Belgium
0:05:51 > 0:05:54than anything else, we're going to go with Belgium, please.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56OK, any Eggheads know?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- It's Yugoslavia.- Yugoslavia.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00So, Tom, it was Yugoslavia.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Lisa, for the round.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06The U2 spy plane that the American pilot Gary Powers was flying
0:06:06 > 0:06:10when it was downed by the Russians on 1st May 1960,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14leading to his capture, had taken off from a base in which country?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Let's have a think. Gary Powers, 1960.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I mean, my first thought was Turkey.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Erm, because that sort of made the most sense, really,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33in terms of where you would put a US base.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37No, I could be here all day and not have enough information
0:06:37 > 0:06:39to make a case for any of these, so I'll say Turkey.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Barry likes that?- Yes. - Chris likes that?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- So, you're all wrong. - Yeah, it's Pakistan.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Pakistan is the answer.- OK.- Oh!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49He was going from Pakistan to Turkey.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50They had bases in both at that time.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52So, he was doing a reconnaissance
0:06:52 > 0:06:55across the southern part of the Soviet Union.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Oh, I see, OK.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Equal after three questions, we go to Sudden Death, Tom.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.- OK.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Which British general born in Woolwich in 1833
0:07:06 > 0:07:07served in the Crimea
0:07:07 > 0:07:10and went on to earn plaudits for his actions
0:07:10 > 0:07:14in the so-called Arrow War in China?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Gosh.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Not my era at all, I'm afraid.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I'm afraid this is going to have to be a complete guess.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Let's go for Montgomery, General Montgomery. A different one.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Yeah, I would need the first name. - James.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34It is a guess, that, isn't it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- It's Charles Gordon.- Oh, yeah.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Lisa, if you get this question right,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41then you've won the head-to-head.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Which English king was injured as a 16-year-old,
0:07:44 > 0:07:49receiving an arrow in the face while at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Obviously not a guarantee that he was King at that point,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I'm guessing.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Now, by 1415...
0:07:59 > 0:08:02..Henry V is on the throne.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05So, based on that, I will say Henry V.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08OK, Henry V is your answer for the round. Is she right, Tom?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Do you know?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I don't know, I would probably have gone Henry V as well.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yes, Prince Henry at the time but Henry V is the right answer, Lisa.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Well done, you've taken the round on History.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Tom, sorry,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21beaten by our Egghead. And as a result, not in the final.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Please, both of you, return to us and we'll play on.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27So, as it stands, the Victuallers have lost a brain
0:08:27 > 0:08:30from the final round, they've lost their history teacher.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33And we play on with Music.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Who's the musician?- That's mine. - That's you, isn't it?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- That's me, Jeremy.- We're quite clear on that.- Nigel, OK, good stuff.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Against which Egghead? Anyone but Lisa.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I think I'll take Chris, then, please.- All right.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47We like our music, don't we? All sorts.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Well, all sorts except for one particular genre, yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Which is that, Chris? - Don't tempt him.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Anything to do with Kanye West and Eminem and so on.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59All right, Nigel from the Victuallers
0:08:59 > 0:09:02versus musical Chris from the Eggheads.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Please go to the Question Room.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08All right, Nigel, so the maths teacher who loves his music.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- That's right, yes. - And first or second?- First, please.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Nigel, here is your question.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21The music genre known as ska originated on which island?
0:09:24 > 0:09:29Yes, I followed this in the '80s, great revival.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It's from the West Indies.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Reasonably sure that's Jamaica.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Jamaica is quite right. Well done.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Chris, according to the lyrics of a Gary Numan song,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42"I feel safest of all, I can lock all my doors,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44"it's the only way to live in..." where?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49HE LAUGHS
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I know Slough but, yeah, safest in cars, Jeremy.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Yeah, that's right.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56# In Slough, da-ner! #
0:09:56 > 0:09:59We'll never get another team from Slough on ever again.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I can imagine that. All right, Nigel.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Which of these is the title of a song written by
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Cole Porter and published in 1953?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Erm, New York...
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Gershwin.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I Love Paris in the spring time, maybe?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Yeah, I think I'll have to go for I Love Paris.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I Love Paris is correct, well done.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Could have gone wrong there.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31OK, Chris, music, your second question.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Which musical term derives from the French for to slide?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42From glisser, to slide, it's glissando.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It is glissando.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Playing well, both of you.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48So, this could be crucial, third question.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50See if you could turn it around for your team, Nigel.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Dream Lover, released in 1959,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57was which singer's first UK number one single?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Right, Dream Lover. It's not Roy Orbison.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Bit of a toss-up between the two.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'll go for Bobby Darin.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13You are absolutely right.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18OK, so, Chris, he's got three, you've got two. This is to stay in.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22The musician Josh Homme was the founder of which rock group?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Well, I've never heard of any of them, Jeremy.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Pure guess, Velvet Revolver.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38No, Queens Of The Stone Age!
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Well done, Nigel.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41You've evened it up for your team,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44you've beaten an Egghead and you will be in the final round.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Both of you, please return and rejoin your team-mates.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51OK, so well done, the Victuallers,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53they've just asserted themselves here.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55They've lost a brain
0:11:55 > 0:11:57but the Eggheads have also had a brain knocked out.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00So, the next subject for you is Arts and Books.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Who would like this?- That's me.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I think that's quite obvious, our librarian.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05- Thank you.- The librarian!
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- Now, Sue, who would you like to take on?- I think it's easy.- No, go on.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Yeah?- I'll go for Barry, please.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Lovely, OK, well, he loves his books.- I know.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Spends his whole time reading.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Sue from the Victuallers versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Two people surrounded by books. This is going to be good.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30So, Arts and Books and, Sue, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:30 > 0:12:31First, please, Jeremy.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Good luck. Cornwall is the setting, Sue, for which of these novels?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Erm, well, I'm pretty sure that it's Jamaica Inn
0:12:46 > 0:12:49by Daphne du Maurier, Jeremy.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Yes, indeed. Jamaica Inn is set in Cornwall, well done.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Barry.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58The poet Dante Alighieri was born in Florence in which century?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Dante is a very early Italian poet
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and that would make him born in the 13th century.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08The 13th century is correct.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Back to you, Sue.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Who wrote the 1998 novel The Last King Of Scotland?
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Gosh.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Not Martin Amis, pretty certain it's not Martin Amis.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Going to go, I'm pretty...
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I'm pretty sure it's William Boyd.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, he wrote about Africa, for sure,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- because he wrote A Good Man In Africa, didn't he?- Yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- This is not his book, though. This is Giles Foden.- OK.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Barry.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45To take the lead, Arthur Crabtree is the best friend
0:13:45 > 0:13:48of the title character in which novel?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Ooh.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57That's a good one, it's not Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I think it sounds like somebody who works in the undertaker's parlour
0:14:00 > 0:14:02with Billy Liar, so I'll go for Billy Liar.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Billy Liar is the right answer, well done.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08OK, Sue.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Think about the library you work in, all those books.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Here is your third question, you've got to get this right.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Epitaph On An Army Of Mercenaries,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20published in the collection Last Poems,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23is one of the best-known poems by which writer?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Well, I don't know the answer for definite,
0:14:33 > 0:14:38but going on the fact that Siegfried Sassoon is one of the
0:14:38 > 0:14:41First World War poets, Housman definitely not...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- I think I would go for Sassoon. - OK, Sassoon is your answer.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50See if Barry knows. Barry, is it?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Well, Blunden was also a First World War poet, I'd have gone for Blunden.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- It's not Sassoon. It's actually AE Housman.- Oh!- AE Housman.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Wow, that is unusual. - That surprised me.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Because his famous one, Barry, was the Yorkshire Lad, was it?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Or Shropshire Lad?- Shropshire Lad.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- So, you don't associate him with war poems?- No, not at all.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- No, me neither.- Sorry, Sue.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Barry has taken the round
0:15:12 > 0:15:14and will be in the final.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Please come back and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- OK, Victuallers, not a crisis yet, is it?- Not yet.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Not yet, you've lost two brains.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28The Eggheads have lost just the one.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32And there is one more subject, as I say, before the final. It's Sport.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35So, who wants Sport?
0:15:35 > 0:15:36It's got to be James.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Yeah, I'll go for that, shall I? - James?- OK.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Our psychology teacher against which Egghead, Judith or Kevin?
0:15:43 > 0:15:48- It's up to you.- Really? Go on, we'll go for Kevin.- Go on, go on.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Yeah, go on, let's go for Kevin. - Yes, you can't avoid him.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53He's always going to be in there somewhere.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57So, James from the Victuallers takes on the grandmaster, Kevin,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59from the Eggheads, on Sport.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Please go to our Question Room.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05OK, we're on Sport, James.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- First or second? - I'll go first, please.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12So here we go, good luck.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Which country has a national stadium that is known as the Bird's Nest?
0:16:19 > 0:16:26I think I remember this from an Olympics fireworks display.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I believe it's Beijing, I think it's China. I'll go with China.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31China is correct.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Well done.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Easy to get wrong on those ones. OK, Kevin.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Which Scottish golf venue has hosted the Open more than any other?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Well, they all have, of course.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47They've all been venues for the Open over the years
0:16:47 > 0:16:50but I think this has to be St Andrews.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53St Andrews is right. Back to you, James.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The third round of the FA Cup is traditionally played
0:16:56 > 0:16:58in which month of the year?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Third round.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04OK, I'm going to,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07there will be a lot of students in the school who will laugh at me
0:17:07 > 0:17:10for saying I'm going to have to make an educated guess here.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14But guessing with the final coming around the summertime,
0:17:14 > 0:17:19third round may be not as early as August, so I'll say January.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Yeah, the students are about to cheer there, but you got it right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26OK, Kevin, to catch up.
0:17:26 > 0:17:3110 of the British and Irish Lions starting 15 for the final test
0:17:31 > 0:17:36of the 2013 Tour of Australia came from which Six Nations team?
0:17:39 > 0:17:44At that point, the country there
0:17:44 > 0:17:49that was having a bit of dominance in the Six Nations was Wales.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52So, I should say Wales.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Yes, Wales is right. Well done.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Back to James.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01With which British tennis player did Jelena Jankovic
0:18:01 > 0:18:06win the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 2007?
0:18:10 > 0:18:142007, I just know Jamie Murray is a big doubles player.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Has he played mixed? I'm not 100% sure.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Jeremy Bates may be a bit old for that time.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I don't think it was Henman.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I'll go, OK, purely on the fact that I know Jamie Murray
0:18:27 > 0:18:30has played doubles, I will just go with Jamie Murray.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Jamie Murray is the right answer.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Three out of three, nice work.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35OK, Kevin, to stay in.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39What does the second A stand for in the acronym NASCAR?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Well, the SCAR bit is Stock Car...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50..Auto Racing, I believe.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53So, I think the first bit, the NA at the front
0:18:53 > 0:18:55is North American.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58So, American.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- I said what does the second A stand for, in the acronym NASCAR?- Yeah.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- But you've given me the first A.- Oh!
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Sorry.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I simply misheard you, I thought you said the first A.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Auto is the answer, Kevin. - Sorry.- There we are.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21James, you did some kind of amazing memory thing on him there.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24You did a brainwave. Yeah, you did that thing.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- That's what happens, Kevin, when you play a psychology teacher.- Yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30He's going to get at you using brainwaves.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- So, James, you're in the final round.- Thank you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I haven't seen that happen before.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Sorry, Kevin, very sporting of you to accept it.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Yeah, well, I didn't listen. - Congratulations. Well done, James.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Come back, both of you, and join your teams.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47All right! Here we are and this is what we have been playing towards.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:19:50 > 0:19:51is General Knowledge.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:54 > 0:19:56won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59So, that is Tom and Sue from the Victuallers and also
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Chris and Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07So, I've worked out we've got a psychologist
0:20:07 > 0:20:11and a biology teacher and a maths teacher here - good combination,
0:20:11 > 0:20:12James, Rebecca and Nigel.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15And you're now playing to win your team £2,000.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Lisa, Barry and Judith, you're playing for something
0:20:17 > 0:20:20that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- You are allowed to confer.- OK.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30So, Team Victuallers, the question is - are your three brains
0:20:30 > 0:20:33able to defeat these three over here?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35The thorn between two roses.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- HE LAUGHS - That's true, very true.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first, please.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Let's go first, it's worked well so far.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47OK, Rebecca and team, here we go.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Eleanor Roosevelt was what relation
0:20:50 > 0:20:53to the US President Theodore Roosevelt?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Tom is watching.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Screaming the answer, behind us.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I'd be guessing niece probably,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08but that's just some bell ringing somewhere.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11But I wouldn't go with the other two ones down there.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Do you know when she was?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15This is not...
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- It's not my era, as Thomas said. - He said that, didn't he?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- We need a history teacher. - Yeah, we could do with Tom.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I think, shall we go with...?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Shall we go with sister? I don't think so.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Shall we go niece, then?- No, not mother.- We're left with that then.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I think we'll take niece, please, Jeremy.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Niece is the right answer.- Yes!
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Well done.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Next question is for the Eggheads.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Gavin Rossdale, lead singer of the rock band Bush,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44married which pop star in 2002?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50It's all right, Barry, it's Gwen Stefani.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Is it?- You're OK. Yes.- OK.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- I am very reliably informed that this is Gwen...- Hang on!- I...
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Oh, sorry.- Yes! Don't you just do the job!
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I've got all confused now.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Judith, are you happy with what's gone on?- Yes.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07I'm reliably informed, by Lisa, that it's Gwen Stefani.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Gwen Stefani is correct.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12All right, so, I don't know what's going on on that side,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14but take advantage of it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- During the Iron Age...- History!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20..the Armoricans were tribes
0:22:20 > 0:22:23who lived in what is now which country?
0:22:23 > 0:22:28So, the Armoricans, which is A-R-M-O-R-I-C-A-N-S.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- Any idea at all?- Ar-mor-i... - No, I don't.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Being from Wales, if it is in fact Wales and I don't know it,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41I'll be gang-whipped by people for that.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Anything in the words?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Amor, is sort of amore, for love, from French, I don't know.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Is that where iron comes from, is that where armour comes from?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Don't know. Don't know.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- Oh, God. I've not heard about... - Not really iron.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You remember the Celts and stuff from school,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02history of Ireland, Wales, Scotland, all that stuff.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Not heard of them ever before so I'm tempted to say France
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- based on the fact I've never heard of them ever.- Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I might be wrong but...
0:23:10 > 0:23:11- OK, go with France?- Yeah.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14We're going to go with France, please.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17OK, let's just see if our Eggheads know, shall we? Eggs?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Well, Armorica is the old name for Brittany and Brittany
0:23:20 > 0:23:21is indisputably in France.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- France is right!- Yes!
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Two out of two.- Come on!
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Playing well. OK, Eggheads.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Who was named Time Magazine's Person Of The Year for 2015?
0:23:37 > 0:23:38- It was Angela Merkel.- It was.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40OK, agreed?
0:23:40 > 0:23:41That's Angela Merkel.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Angela Merkel is the right answer.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47All right, this is getting tight here.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Here we go with your question, Challengers.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55The two countries that share a border with Panama
0:23:55 > 0:23:57are Colombia and which other?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- I don't think it's Costa Rica. - I don't think it's Nicaragua.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I was going to say, El Salvador would be my guess.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I tell you why, because...
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- You've been there?- I've been there.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Because the...
0:24:15 > 0:24:16- You've got the Panama Canal.- Yes.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19And they're building the Nicaragua Canal through Ometepe.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22And I don't think they'd have one if it's right next to Panama.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24What did you think first up?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- My first thought is El Salvador but again...- Guatemala, Belize.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31To be honest, it's one of those bells that rings somewhere
0:24:31 > 0:24:32but plenty of rusty ones.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35If that's all we've got to go on and you don't think it's Nicaragua,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37that's worth doing.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39If that's our gut, shall we go with El Salvador?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Yeah, shall we?- Go on. - Let's go with that.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44We're going to go with El Salvador, please.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Costa Rica is the answer.- Ah!
0:24:47 > 0:24:50OK, so the Challengers have slipped up.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53And if you get this right, you've taken the contest.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Which band released the album Music Complete in 2015?
0:25:00 > 0:25:04It's not Kraftwerk. Haven't released anything for quite some time.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Now, Music Complete, to me...
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Is that an analogy of their greatest hits?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I think it sounds like a full back catalogue job.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16That may lead me to Depeche Mode,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19they've probably got the most in their back catalogue.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21I have a vague feeling it's Depeche Mode,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- I can't do any better than that. - That's my reasoning as well.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Shall we go, we've got the only one?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Have you got any feeling? - No, I have no feelings at all.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30If we've got a vague feeling, shall we go with that?
0:25:30 > 0:25:35- They have vague feelings that it might be Depeche Mode.- OK.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36It's not Depeche Mode,
0:25:36 > 0:25:37- it's New Order.- Interesting.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Yeah, Depeche Mode are still very much in action,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41and actually, so are
0:25:41 > 0:25:42- New Order, really.- Oh, yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Did you know the answer to that? - We did, yes.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47You must have been enjoying that conversation.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Our music man here was all over that.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Trying to keep a straight face. - Yes, well, exactly.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53OK, so three questions, the scores are level.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56We go to Sudden Death. You thought you were gone!
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Yeah, yeah.- Right, here we go.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Here we go indeed, cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07Mrs Hume's and Lady Amherst's are species of which bird?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- You?- Absolutely no idea. - With guesswork, it's got to be...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- They're very English. - Yeah, English domestic type bird.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Something quite sort of pretty, I think?
0:26:18 > 0:26:23- They're quite feminine names, obviously.- So, what have we got?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26You've got things like thrush, that's something.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- I don't even know the species. - Something.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Sparrows?- Finches.- Wrens.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Wrens, wrens are actually very delicate, aren't they?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And they're quite sort of lady names, it's quite a good shot.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38What do you think?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Thinking of ones with lots of different species.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Or things like ducks.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I think ducks would be a bit strange for those names?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50I think something like a wren because it's quite a feminine,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53delicate bird, they're sort of lady names.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Go on, let's do it then.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I think we'll go with wrens, please.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Wrens is your answer. OK, let's see if the Eggheads know. Is it wrens?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- I believe it's pheasant. - Yes, I think it's pheasant too.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- It is pheasant.- OK, all right.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08So, Eggheads, your chance
0:27:08 > 0:27:10to take the contest.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13The 1892 play Widowers' Houses
0:27:13 > 0:27:17is the first stage work by which author?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- OK, when was Shaw.- When was Shaw?
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Because that sounds as if it might be right for one of his early works.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24I wish Kevin was here with the dates.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- It's the first staged work by which author.- When was he born?
0:27:28 > 0:27:34- Who was a young-ish author in 1892? - I'm thinking Shaw.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Shaw is not a bad shot because you're getting into the 1910s.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40And he died very old in 1940 something, didn't he?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I could overthink this but I'm inclined to go for Shaw.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I will take that if it's a decent inkling from you two.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Because I couldn't be sure but the dates sound right.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- Well, I can't think of anybody else. - No, I can't.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51All right, let's go for it.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54We're going for George Bernard Shaw.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- George Bernard Shaw is the correct answer.- Hey!
0:27:58 > 0:28:01We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- What a fun contest. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Something about that, it was just fun today.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Sorry you lost, but it was really...- That's all right.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15- ..all over the place.- Thank you.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Commiserations to the Victuallers.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:28:19 > 0:28:22and they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24It does mean you won't be going home with the £2,000.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27So, the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Eggheads, well done.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Who will beat you? Somebody will!
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:33 > 0:28:35have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
