0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are The Dabbers from Nantwich.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, this team of friends all regularly quiz
0:00:38 > 0:00:42at their local pub, Cronkinson's Farm. Let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hello, I'm Nick, a semiretired schoolteacher.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hello, I'm Ian and I'm a glass fitter.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Richard. I'm a salesman.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm John and I'm a postman.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Kerry and I'm an internet bookseller.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01So, Nick and team, welcome. Thanks for coming. Tell us about the pub.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04It's fairly local, five minutes' walk from where we live.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06It has a quiz every Thursday night.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11It's quite competitive. There's myself and Richard in one team.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15John in another. Ian and Kerry join in occasionally.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16And you are called The Dabbers
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- because that's the Nickname for Nantwich.- It is, yes.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23We think it goes back to the tanning and salt industries
0:01:23 > 0:01:28- back in the...1500s.- Right, well, that's a definite question
0:01:28 > 0:01:29in a few months' time for you lot.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32See if you remember it then. Good luck, Dabbers.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:34 > 0:01:35for our Challengers.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42So, Dabbers, the Eggheads have won the last two games,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46which means there is £3,000 for you to play for today.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50And our first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Who would like this?
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Science? Who's ready to take this one?- Come on.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Kerry, isn't it?- Kerry?- Kerry. You happy with...?- I can do, yeah.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Kerry.- All right, Kerry, internet bookseller, against which Egghead?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Here they all are. Anyone of them.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Who should I take on? - Who are we going for?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Who did we say? Have we got the spreadsheet handy still?- No.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- THEY LAUGH - Afraid not.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- How about Lisa?- Lisa?- Lovely.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Yes, Lisa, please. - Yep, Lisa on Science.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20That is probably a good choice. On a bad day, she can be beaten.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It's a good choice. We'll stop at that.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Kerry from The Dabbers, Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- So, Kerry, you are an internet bookseller.- Yes, that's right.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38And Judith was just saying to me, "What does that entail?"
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I buy books and hopefully resell them at a profit.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- And so, that's second-hand?- Yes.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Good stuff. You are up against Lisa on Science.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Kerry, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'll go first, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57And good luck. Which of these is not an element in the periodic table?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Um...
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Well, I think gold is and I think silver is,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07so my answer would be bronze.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Bronze is not, you are quite right. Well done. Anyone help us on why?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- It's an alloy - copper and tin. - It's not an element.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- It's copper and...?- Tin. - Copper and tin.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17It's an alloy, says Chris.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20OK, Lisa.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24What aspect of a substance is measured in cubic metres?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I do love maths questions. That's volume.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Volume is the right answer.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34OK, Kerry.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36In the name of a computer file,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39for what does the letter G stand in the acronym GIF?
0:03:44 > 0:03:50Um... Well, I think that I've seen this attached to picture files,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52so it would be graphics.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Yes, indeed. GIF is...kind of a little...
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Well, it's, I suppose, a very small file that actually moves,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01but I think the inventor, who's a guy, if I rack my brains,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Steve Wilhite...- Mm-hm.- ..thought it should be called JIF,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07but he's obviously been outvoted.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08So, to get level, Lisa,
0:04:08 > 0:04:09which creatures are
0:04:09 > 0:04:13instrumental in the spread of Dutch Elm disease?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Can't really see a fox getting far enough into the whatsit
0:04:21 > 0:04:24of the tree to do any damage.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm pretty sure it's beetles.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Yeah, the beetles get in. Beetles, it is.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Kerry, third question.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34What type of creature is a brown recluse?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- A brown recluse?- Brown recluse.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Well, bats are fairly reclusive, I think.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49But I think it might be a spider.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52So, I'll go for spider.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Spider is correct. Well done. DABBERS:- Well done, Kerry.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56I think cos bats are reclusive,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59there wouldn't be a particularly reclusive bat.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01But there could be a reclusive toad.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04So, Lisa, your question to stay in.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06What is the technical name for the big toe?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Well, your axilla is your armpit.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Varicella...
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Is that chickenpox?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I think it's the name of a disease, anyway.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21So, I shall have to go for hallux.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Yes, hallux is right. Nicely done.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Three out of three for you both.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26No-one has got anything wrong so far.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Sudden Death, we go to, Kerry.
0:05:29 > 0:05:341,760 yards is the equivalent of which unit of measurement?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I think that must be a mile.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38It is a mile.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Lisa.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45To stay in, plutoids are dwarf planets
0:05:45 > 0:05:50that are farther from the sun than which planet?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Is this a trick question,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57on the basis that they keep deciding Pluto is not a planet?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00In which case, I suppose the answer would be Neptune.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03But...
0:06:04 > 0:06:07..if Pluto is currently classified as a planet
0:06:07 > 0:06:10and they do make it difficult...
0:06:10 > 0:06:14to keep track, then I suppose it would be Pluto.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15I may be overthinking this.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I shall say Neptune.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Yes, you got it right, actually. Neptune is right.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Barry, help us here. Is it because Pluto is not a planet?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29That's right. Pluto is a plutoid.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Pluto is a plutoid.- Yes, and it's further out than Neptune.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- OK, and a plutoid is a non-planetary thing?- Yes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It's, what, a collection of gases, is it?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38No, no. They can be rocky bodies,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41but they don't fulfil the criteria for being a planet.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43All right.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45So, you are playing well, Kerry. Keep the pressure on.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Albert Einstein famously said that imagination is more important
0:06:50 > 0:06:52than...what?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I suppose he was famous for his intelligence,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57so I'll say intelligence.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Knowledge is the answer.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00So, Sudden Death,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Lisa has a chance to take the round.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Who wrote the 1966 doctoral thesis
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Properties Of Expanding Universes
0:07:08 > 0:07:11while at Cambridge University?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Properties Of Expanding Universes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I would say it sounds like a riveting read,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17but there are probably millions of people
0:07:17 > 0:07:20that would disagree with me if I said that sarcastically.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Best guess would be Stephen Hawking.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Stephen Hawking is the right answer.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26So, on Sudden Death, Lisa, you are in the final. Sorry, Kerry,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28you've been knocked out. Don't worry, team,
0:07:28 > 0:07:29early days.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Lots to play for. Return to us, please. Rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39So, as it stands, The Dabbers have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40The Eggheads are still sitting there.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Mind you, you were sitting there at the start of the last game
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and then you were suddenly cut to ribbons. So, we shall see.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48The next subject is Sport.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Silence from the Dabbers. That's worrying.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54THEY LAUGH Where is the spreadsheet?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- I'm nominating myself.- OK.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Skipper will go in. You can choose any Egghead, but not Lisa.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- Who did we say?- I'd go for Chris. - Chris? OK.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Chris, it is.- Oh, dear, you're not going to react badly?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11No, anything for a fellow denizen of Crewe.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12LAUGHTER
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Oh, Crewe is near Nantwich, right? - Yeah, about three miles away.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Cos that's the constituency - Crewe and Nantwich.- Yeah, yeah.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22So, Nick from The Dabbers versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Near neighbours, but will they quiz well together?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Please go to our Question Room now.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- So, Nick, you are a teacher? - Yes, I am.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Still teaching a couple of days a week?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Yes, yes, far more than I want to, actually.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I keep getting phone calls from head teachers who know me saying,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40"Can you come in and help out today?"
0:08:40 > 0:08:44or "Do some intervention with the GCSE classes."
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Oh, right, so you've tried to retire and failed?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Basically, yes.- Yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I manage to get one day off a week, really.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Great. So Sport, Nick, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54I'll go first, please.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Here's a question, Nick. Good luck.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04In American football, what name is given to a very long pass
0:09:04 > 0:09:08into the end zone made in the final seconds of a game?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Um... I'm thinking it's one of those that you would be wishing luck,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18so it could be the Hail Mary.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Screen pass, I think that's something to do with sideways.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Quarterback sneak... I'm going to go for the Hail Mary
0:09:23 > 0:09:27because I think it's one that's down to luck if the receiver catches it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Yes, Hail Mary is right. Well done.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Chris, who finished 2015
0:09:30 > 0:09:34as the top ranked women's singles tennis player?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Um... "Is she still there?" I wonder.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Well, I think she's still there, so I think it's Serena Williams.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Serena Williams is quite right. Over to you, Nick.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50In rugby union,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52a player is sent off for how many minutes
0:09:52 > 0:09:54after receiving a yellow card?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01I'm pretty sure for the sin bin, it's ten minutes.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I'm going to stay with ten.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Ten is correct.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Chris, which English football club paid
0:10:07 > 0:10:12an initial £44 million for Raheem Sterling in 2015?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Where's Dave when you need him?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I'll have to go with Manchester City.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Well, he played for Liverpool, I think, didn't he?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Anyone help us here? Is he right? ALL:- Yeah.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Yeah, you are right, Chris. Manchester City.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Nick, your third question.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Mark Wood, who made his test debut in 2015,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38usually performs which role for the England cricket team?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Um...well, I've seen his batting,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I wouldn't ask him to open the batting.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50He's certainly not a wicketkeeper, so he's a fast bowler.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- So, you like your cricket? - Yes, I do, actually. Yes.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54You are quite right. Fast bowler.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Chris, to stay in.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00The former IAAF president Lamine Diack is best known
0:11:00 > 0:11:04for his achievements in which athletics events?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I don't think he's a long jumper.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Marathon runners tend not to get very far, do they,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16in the administration of sports?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Probably, the highest profile of those three,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21which might have led him onto a career in management,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23is 110m hurdles.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Because it might have led to management?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29It's the highest profile of those three events, yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- The answer is long jump, Chris. - Uh-huh.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33So, you've been knocked out on Sport.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I know the pain of that.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Nick, well done. You are in the final round. Hey! It's good.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Going well for our Challengers now.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Turning it around a little bit.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Come back to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48The Dabbers have lost a brain from the final round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50The Eggheads have now also lost a brain.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53The locomotive steams into the distance.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Chris will be in the sin bin and the next subject is Film & TV.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Who wants this?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Well...- It's got to be Richard.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Go on, then. That'll be me. - OK, Richard.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Against which Egghead?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Can't be Lisa or Chris.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Pat or Barry.- Pat or Barry. - Shall we go for Barry?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Yes.- Yes. Barry.- Barry, please.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Right, so Richard from The Dabbers against Barry,
0:12:17 > 0:12:18who likes this category?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Yes, I watch quite a lot of films these days.- Yeah?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Not so much television now.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30All right, Film & TV. Good luck to both of you.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Richard, do you want to go first or second?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33I'll go second.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38So, Barry has the first question.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42How much did a standard TV license for a colour television cost
0:12:42 > 0:12:45in the UK in 2015?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Well, I'll go straight there. It was £145.50.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58It was indeed. 145.50. OK, Richard.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Who won the 2015 series of
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Hm. That's a tough one.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15It wasn't Lady Colin Campbell because I believe she left early.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19I'm going to go for Jorgie Porter.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23OK, having not seen any of it, watching the very final episode,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25so I saw the moment Vicky Pattinson was crowned.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I am sorry. It's Vicky.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Barry, the Jim Carrey comedy
0:13:30 > 0:13:33The Mask in which Cameron Diaz
0:13:33 > 0:13:36made her feature film debut was released in which year?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Oh, gosh. Now, I've watched this a couple of times
0:13:44 > 0:13:47and I've enjoyed it very much on both occasions.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51So, I would say 1999.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- It was earlier.- Ah!
0:13:53 > 0:13:56'94. OK, so
0:13:56 > 0:13:59we go over to you now, Richard, for your question.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02How many students compete in each episode of the TV quiz show
0:14:02 > 0:14:04University Challenge?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Hm. Well, it's not six.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12And I watch it all the time.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I should know this. I'm going to go...
0:14:17 > 0:14:19..down the middle with eight.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Team, is he right? ALL:- He is, yes.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Yeah, you are right. Well done, Richard. You did well there.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27OK, eight is right. You them gave a bit of stress at this end.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31So, one each. Third question to Barry.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Which of these is a 2015 comedy film
0:14:34 > 0:14:37starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I think Hot Pursuit was earlier.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Not sure on this.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Will Ferrell, he seems to be in everything these days.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I think it may be Trainwreck.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- No. Get Hard.- Ah!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00So, Richard, here we go. You can take Barry on the turn.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05For which film did Marlon Brando receive his only
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination? Was it...?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I vaguely remember Sayonara because...
0:15:17 > 0:15:18I don't know why.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22A Dry White Season, I think I'm going to rule out.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24This is a long shot.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I'm going to go for "Viva Zapata!".
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Yeah, it was A Dry White Season.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32So, one each after three questions.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35And we go to Sudden Death, Barry.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37See if you can turn this around.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives. You know that.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43The British actress Alice Eve who appeared in the films
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Star Trek Into Darkness and She's Out Of My League
0:15:47 > 0:15:49is the daughter which actor?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Well, the only actor I can think of with the surname Eve,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55and I'm hoping it's the same one, is Trevor Eve.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56So I'll go for that.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Yes, Trevor Eve is right. Star of Shoestring.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01So, Richard, over to you.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03To stay in, Sudden Death.
0:16:03 > 0:16:09In which decade was the TV quiz show Mastermind first broadcast?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Ah! All right.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It was broadcast for quite some time,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16had a sort of hiatus, then came back.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20I'm thinking of Magnus Magnusson in the original chair.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I would have to say '70s.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Yes, you are right. 1972.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Barry, Sudden Death.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30"I'm going to count to three, there will not be a four,"
0:16:30 > 0:16:35is a quote from which 1988 action film starring Alan Rickman?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39"I'm going to count to three, there will not be a four."
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Well, Alan Rickman was in Die Hard and that's in the 1980s,
0:16:43 > 0:16:45so I shall go for Die Hard.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Die Hard is right.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Sudden Death, Richard.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Which actress appeared as George Clooney's daughter
0:16:53 > 0:16:54in The Descendents
0:16:54 > 0:17:00and as the cancer-suffering Hazel in The Fault In Our Stars?
0:17:00 > 0:17:01I don't know.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06For some reason, Rooney Mara springs to mind, but...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08it's a long shot.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09I'm going to say Rooney Mara.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Eggheads?- Shailene Woodley, is it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Shailene Woodley is the actress, Richard.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17And it means you've been knocked out by our Barry.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20So, he goes through to the final round. Bad luck.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Come back to us. We'll play the last round before the final.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28So, the Eggheads are starting to just motor a bit.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29You've got to stop them, Dabbers.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32You've lost two brains from the final round.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35The Eggs have lost just the one and the last subject
0:17:35 > 0:17:37before the final is Politics.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Now, is this good?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- It could be.- Could be.- John? - I don't mind, but...- I fancy it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- You fancy it? OK, Ian.- OK.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Who are you playing, Ian? - We'll be playing, let me see.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Judith.- Right.- Judith on Politics. Very good.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56OK, Ian from the Dabbers, Judith from the Eggheads,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58please go to special room.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04So, Politics. Let's see how well you do against our Judith.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go second, please.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Switching it around a bit,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14going second. OK, Judith, first question to you.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Which politician served as MP for Huntington
0:18:18 > 0:18:21during his time as British Prime Minister?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I think that is John Major.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27John Major is correct.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Ian, George Galloway
0:18:28 > 0:18:32took part in which TV show in 2006?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39It wasn't Strictly Come Dancing, Jeremy.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I think it was Celebrity Big Brother.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Thank you for letting me off the hook there.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Celebrity Big Brother is the answer.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Judith, how many Plaid Cymru MPs
0:18:48 > 0:18:52were in the house of commons at the end of 2015?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Plaid Cymru.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Well, I don't think there are very many of them.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04I think it's more likely to be three than anything else. Yes, three.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Three is correct.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08So, to catch up, here is your question, Ian.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Who was the British Prime Minister
0:19:10 > 0:19:11when Queen Victoria came to the throne?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19It's not Palmerston, that was later.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23It's between Wellington and Melbourne.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Lord Melbourne.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Is the correct answer. - Well done.- Well played.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Judith,
0:19:29 > 0:19:33to take the lead. Which of these was appointed a conservative member of
0:19:33 > 0:19:35the House of Lords in 2014?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Oh. Well, not Deborah Meaden.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47I think it's Karren Brady. But she's the one on...
0:19:47 > 0:19:50The Apprentice, isn't she, though?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I think it's Karren Brady.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54I'm slightly uncertain.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57It is Karren Brady. Is she football-related, Eggs?
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Yes. I believe she...
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Was it Birmingham City she managed?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It was Birmingham City and I think she went along to West Ham...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- West Ham now.- Yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08So, Ian, you need this one to stay in.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12For what is Dan short in the name of
0:20:12 > 0:20:16the US former vice president Dan Quayle?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25It wouldn't be Dante. It sounds too Italian for that person.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I believe his name was Danforth Quayle.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33It was Danforth Quayle. Well done. Good play. Three-three to you both.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35We go to Sudden Death again.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Judith, which Tory politician wrote a biography called
0:20:39 > 0:20:43The Churchill Factor, published in 2014?
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Oh, Boris Johnson.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Boris Johnson is quite right.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Ian, you need this.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54In March 2014, Anne Hidalgo became the first woman to be elected mayor
0:20:54 > 0:20:57of which European capital city?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Well, as the name Hidalgo was a Spanish name,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I'm going to go for Madrid.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yes, it sounds like it is, but, Judith, do you know this one?
0:21:06 > 0:21:07No, I don't.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- It's Paris.- Paris? Uh-huh. Good Lord.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12So, I'm afraid you've been knocked out there, Ian,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15by Judith on Politics. Always painful.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Please come back to us and we will play the final.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23It is time for the final round,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:28 > 0:21:29to take part in this round.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32So, Ian, Richard and Kerry, from The Dabbers,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34but also Chris from the Eggheads,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Nick and John, you are playing to win The Dabbers £3,000.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Pat, Lisa, Barry and Judith, you are playing for something
0:21:44 > 0:21:48that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55You are allowed to confer, gents.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57So, Nick and John, the question is -
0:21:57 > 0:21:59can you, with your two brains,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01defeat these four in a famous victory?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11OK. Good luck to you both.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Chavismo is a left-wing political movement based on the ideas,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18programmes and government style associated with the former
0:22:18 > 0:22:20president of which country?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- BOTH:- Venezuela, yeah. - Yeah, I think so.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Yeah, we don't like Greece or Spain.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31We think we'll go for Venezuela.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Venezuela is correct.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Eggheads, over to you. And it's Hugo Chavez, right?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37- ALL:- Yes.- At the centre of that.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Which of these countries shares a land border with Germany?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Well, even I might get to that.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Luxembourg.- Yes.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53That's Luxembourg.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55That it is, Luxembourg. Well done.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Second question to our Challengers.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Who is the protagonist of the Paula Hawkins novel
0:23:01 > 0:23:02The Girl On The Train?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Is this person...?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I think it's Amy Dunne.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13It's certainly not Kay Scarpetta.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- No, it's just a hunch, if anything. - You've got a hunch, well...
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- I just feel like it's Amy Dunne, but...- I don't know.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21So, we are on a 50-50 here, Jeremy.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23We're going to go for Amy Dunne.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Amy Dunne is your answer.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Now, I have a feeling Amy Dunne might have been Gone Girl.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- That's right.- Was she?
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Kay Scarpetta?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Patricia Cornwell's novels.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Right. And the answer is...
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Bizarrely, I'm reading this book at the moment.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36It's Rachel Watson.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Right.- Right.- Rachel Watson.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41OK, to take the lead, Eggheads.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Love Yourself was the third UK number one single of 2015
0:23:46 > 0:23:47for which singer?
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Looking at you.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Love Yourself?
0:23:57 > 0:23:58I don't think it's Justin Bieber,
0:23:58 > 0:23:59although he did have...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I thought it was Bieber, actually.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Yeah?- I don't think it's Sam Smith.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- I think we definitely rule that out. - Well, hang on, let me think.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Bieber had a monster album,
0:24:08 > 0:24:09didn't he? A comeback album.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I'm coming back to thinking it was Bieber after all.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13I think... I can't make a case
0:24:13 > 0:24:15for it being Jess. I don't think...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18She had a lot of number ones in 2015.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- I don't think any of them were called that.- No.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22The problem with Bieber is some of
0:24:22 > 0:24:24his were number one and then weren't
0:24:24 > 0:24:26and then were again.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Sam Smith had two of them.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29The Writing On The Wall, that's one.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- I...- Did he have...? - I don't think it's him.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Did he have one at the beginning of the year as well?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Sam Smith is my nemesis, honestly.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37No, I don't think it's Sam Smith.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38I'm more inclined
0:24:38 > 0:24:39to come back to Bieber.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41A vague notion, but I'm not confident.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- I would have backed you up on that, so we'll go with it.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- Want to try that?- Yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48OK, we don't know this, Jeremy,
0:24:48 > 0:24:49but we've just got the faintest
0:24:49 > 0:24:51of notions it was Justin Bieber.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Love Yourself is Justin Bieber. Well done.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Well done.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58So, they've taken the lead.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00You have to get this one right, guys.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02In December 2015,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06what did Kanye West and Kim Kardashian name their son?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- Any ideas?- Saint... - HE CHUCKLES
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I was hoping it was going to be a question about Glastonbury.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- THEY LAUGH - Saint Kardashian.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26If he was being ironic, but I can't imagine him being ironic.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Silas, Silas.- I have no idea, mate.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Silas?- I'd go for Saint.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- I think it's Saint. - I'll let you go for it.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I would go Silas, personally, but no.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40But is that on any knowledge?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41No. None whatsoever.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43So, we'll stay with you.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Kardashian. Silas. Son called Silas.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Go with Saint. If you're happy.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Yeah, we have no idea,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55so we are going to plump for Saint.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Saint is right.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Well done. Well done.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01OK. Eggs, if you get this right,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03the contest is over.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06What name is given to a champagne bottle which holds the
0:26:06 > 0:26:10equivalent of 12 standard bottles? Is it...?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Salmanazar.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19It's a Salmanazar.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Rehoboam is four.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Methuselah, I believe, is eight and I think a Salmanazar is 12.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I have no idea.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28I forget the size increments.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I know the sequence of letters.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32There's a mnemonic to remember them -
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Michael Jackson Rich Man Sings Bad Songs.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36And then they go up in sequence.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- So, M is two, which is magnum.- Mm-hm.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39- Jackson is Jeroboam.- Yeah.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41How many bottles?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42- That must be four.- Four.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Rehoboam must be six.- Yeah.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Magnum is eight and then...- No, no.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Magnum is gone. - Then they go up in fours.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Methuselah is eight.- So, that's Salmanazar, which is 12.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Belshazzar, which is 16
