0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads. Here you are, looking pugnacious.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Fighting fit.- Yeah, I was going to say, Barry...
0:00:37 > 0:00:40What is that on your shirt, by the way? You have a spill earlier on?
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- BARRY LAUGHS - No, it's in honour of Canada, I think.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Yeah, OK, well, there we are.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Challenging our resident quiz champions today are...
0:00:49 > 0:00:50You frightened of this lot here?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Er...- Don't be.- No. - Honestly, don't be.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56This team have known one another for more than 20 years
0:00:56 > 0:01:00and they regularly quiz together at the Chase Inn in Ayr.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Let's meet them.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, my name is Charlie and I'm a semi-retired
0:01:04 > 0:01:07advertising agency account director.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hi, my name is Dougie and I'm a facilities manager.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Hi, I'm Iain, I'm a retired NHS records clerk.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hi, I'm Alastair, and I'm a chartered surveyor.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Hi, I'm Hugh, I'm a retired business analyst.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- So, Charlie, team, welcome. Good to see you.- Thank you.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And there's some drinking and some quizzing and a bit of golf,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- I gather?- Er, yeah. Well, not necessarily in that order,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34but, yes, I think you've summed it up pretty well.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And in terms of the quiz, what sort of level of seriousness
0:01:37 > 0:01:39are we at at The Chase Inn?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Oh, very competitive.- Really? There's no other sort, is there?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44No prisoners are taken in our quiz.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48So, anyone of you a question master or you all the answerers, are you?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52No, we're all the answerers, the question master will be at home
0:01:52 > 0:01:54laughing his head off at us at the moment.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57We often have question masters in answering the questions
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and it's funny how they're not necessarily as good as they are
0:02:00 > 0:02:02when they've got the paper in their hands.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Yeah, we've found that out before.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Yes, and I know the feeling only too well.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:09 > 0:02:11for our Challengers, but if they fail to defeat
0:02:11 > 0:02:14the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So, Ayr We Go, it's been a bit of Ayr We Go
0:02:17 > 0:02:20for the Eggheads recently, they've won the last 17
0:02:20 > 0:02:23so they're way above their batting average at the moment.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25They're cruising for a bruising
0:02:25 > 0:02:27and it means that £18,000
0:02:27 > 0:02:29is here for you to win today,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32which I think is probably worth going ahead with, shall we do it?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- ALL:- Yeah. Let's do it. - Let's do it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39So, who from Ayr We Go would like this?
0:02:39 > 0:02:45Oh, Charlie. Hand in the air. I like that. Against which Egghead?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46They're not going to put their hands up,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48they're not that respectful, I'm afraid.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52I would love to play against CJ, if I may.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57You may indeed. So, Charlie from Ayr We Go versus CJ from the Eggheads.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:03:00 > 0:03:01in the Question Room?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05So, CJ, how are we on our English towns at the moment?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Um, I wasn't aware there were any.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Counties you haven't been to or don't care about?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14There are quite a few English counties I have never visited,
0:03:14 > 0:03:19it's one of those problems, maybe in my gym, I've got two posters
0:03:19 > 0:03:21and the periodic table's in front of me on my treadmill
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and the map of the British Isles is just to the side of me.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Maybe I should swap the positions so I can actually see
0:03:26 > 0:03:28the British Isles and maybe something will go in,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31but I just cannot get British geography.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33But you had a bad time with the periodic table the other day.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Thanks so much, Jeremy. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Why don't you just tell everybody? - They know anyway.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42On Geography, Charlie, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43I'll go first, please.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Here we go.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Geelong and Wollongong are cities in which country?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Well, looking at those,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I feel the antipodes coming upon me
0:04:03 > 0:04:07so I'll immediately say no to South Africa
0:04:07 > 0:04:10and New Zealand and I'll say Australia.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Australia is the right answer, well done. Well done.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16CJ, the resort of Tenby
0:04:16 > 0:04:19is in which Welsh national park?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I knew it was in Wales.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31However, I do believe Tenby is on the coast
0:04:31 > 0:04:34and the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia aren't
0:04:34 > 0:04:36and I think it's over in Pembrokeshire,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39which I think is the south west of Wales,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42so I'll go for the Pembrokeshire Coast.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Yes, it's not an easy question, you've got it absolutely right, CJ.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- I don't mean to sound so surprised. - Well, only because I live in Wales.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Obviously in your gym,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52you've been turning to the left a bit to see that map.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Maybe?- Maybe.- Just a thought.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57OK, your question, Charlie.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00The Lancashire market town of Clitheroe
0:05:00 > 0:05:02is in the valley of which river?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Clitheroe?- Clitheroe.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Hmm, that's a tough one for me.
0:05:13 > 0:05:19Um... I think it may well be...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22and it's 80% guess,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25but I'll go for the Ribble.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28And Ribble's right. Yeah.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33OK, CJ, which of these cities is on the Strait of Gibraltar?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Hmm, now which one's closest?
0:05:41 > 0:05:46I'll be honest, I've never heard of Oran, I don't know where that is.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I've been to Morocco...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52On the coast you've got Essaouira.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I thought Casablanca was more inland.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02I think... I'm discounting Oran, because I've never heard of it.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I think Casablanca's further inland, so I'll go for Tangier.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Is he right, Eggheads? - To some extent, yeah.- To some...?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Casablanca is very definitely on the coast.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Yeah, Casablanca is on the coast.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15But Tangier is nearest.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18But Tangier is on the Strait of Gibraltar,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20So, you've got it, you've squeaked it there. Well done.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23All right, Charlie, back to you,
0:06:23 > 0:06:24third question.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26In which county is Framlingham Castle,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29where Mary I of England once rallied her troops
0:06:29 > 0:06:31when she was securing the crown?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Well, I've got to rule out Suffolk first of all,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42because I don't think she...
0:06:44 > 0:06:48..got that down that far and that east. I may be wrong.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Gloucestershire, again...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54heading westwards...
0:06:56 > 0:06:59..makes me lean towards North Yorkshire,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03but, again, it's pretty much a guess.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06North Yorkshire is the wrong answer, it is actually Suffolk.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Framlingham is in Suffolk, right?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- It is, yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13OK, CJ,
0:07:13 > 0:07:14your chance for the round then.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17What term is used to you refer to the scratches left behind
0:07:17 > 0:07:20when a glacier has eroded a rock?
0:07:25 > 0:07:26OK, now, scree...
0:07:28 > 0:07:29..is...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34..the debris. Scree is just lots of little rocks left,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36cos you have scree slopes.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39So, it's not scree.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Striations, obviously, are scratches...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45..and talus is...
0:07:46 > 0:07:47..something else.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50They're all glacial terms,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53but I think the scratches left on rocks are striations.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Striations is the right answer, CJ.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Well done, on your third question. Three out of three for our Egghead.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Very hard to beat when they're like this,
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- Charlie, isn't it?- It is, well done, CJ.- But early days for your team.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Please come back to us.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08CJ will be in the final, we'll see what happens next.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14So, as it stands, Ayr We Go have lost one brain from the final round,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16the Eggheads have still got all five sitting there,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19see if you can take a couple of lumps out of them now.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20The next subject is Music.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22So, which one of you would like this?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Looks like it's me, isn't it?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Dougie?- Yes. - OK, against which Egghead?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Obviously, it can't be CJ.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- What do you think?- Lisa?- Lisa.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yeah, I think we'll go against Lisa, Jeremy.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36All right, Lisa on Music... Oh, you'll be singing.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37- SHE LAUGHS - I can't work out whether
0:08:37 > 0:08:40you said that in delight or in despair, Jeremy.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Can you sing at least once? - We'll see.- All right.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44That sounds like a promise.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49It's Dougie from Ayr We Go versus Lisa, the Voice, from the Eggheads.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57OK, so good luck, Dougie, you're up against our own Lisa Thiel
0:08:57 > 0:08:59on Music, she loves her music.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Dougie, do you want to go first or second?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Here is your question.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12The artist known as Diddy has become famous in which genre of music?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Well, I'm pretty sure it's not jazz,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22grunge I would say was before his time and not his type,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24so I'll go with rap, Jeremy.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Rap is the right answer.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Here's your question, Lisa.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32"You're the Nile, you're the Tower of Pisa,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34"you're the smile on the Mona Lisa"
0:09:34 > 0:09:36are lines from which Cole Porter song?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39You might have to sing this.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46OK. Well, it ain't Night And Day,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48because that one I could sing for you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52And I think most of the lines in Let's Do It end in "do it",
0:09:52 > 0:09:55so, I think, on that basis, we can say it's You're The Top.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It is You're The Top, but I'm sensing you don't know the notes.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- I don't, I'm afraid. - OK, better move swiftly on.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Dougie, which James Bond theme tune
0:10:05 > 0:10:07starts with the lines,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11"He always runs while others walk, he acts while other men just talk."
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Bond films aren't my forte.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I'm going to rule out Thunderball,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27because it starts with "He", so it's either Goldfinger,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30or The Man With The Golden Gun.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32And, purely a 50-50 guess,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'm going to have to go with Goldfinger.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Yes, but I think that will... Lisa, that starts with the word...
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Goldfinger.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42# Goldfinger, he's the man
0:10:42 > 0:10:45# The man with the Midas touch. #
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- That's Goldfinger. - # That spider's touch, da-na-na... #
0:10:49 > 0:10:50So, that's not that one.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's not The Man With The Golden Gun, it's Thunderball.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55On we go. Lisa's chance to take the lead.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Fairground was the debut UK number one single by which band?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I think it took them till about 1995, but they'd been around
0:11:09 > 0:11:11for a long time before they ever had a number one,
0:11:11 > 0:11:12but Fairground is Simply Red.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Simply Red is right, well done.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Back to you, Dougie.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18You need to get this one right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Which of these patriotic Scottish songs was written in 1965?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Oh, I'm going to be embarrassed if I don't get this one.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34And probably get the train home on my own.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Scots Wha Hae, I would imagine, is a very old one.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Scotland The Brave and Flower Of Scotland
0:11:43 > 0:11:46are both very patriotic and, again,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I can feel the team
0:11:48 > 0:11:50shouting it at me.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54But I'm going to have to go with Flower Of Scotland.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Team? CHALLENGERS:- Yeah.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Yeah, they like it. Flower Of Scotland it is, well done.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01You got two out of three.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Lisa can take the round, though, with this question.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07The Song That Goes Like This and You Won't Succeed On Broadway
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- are songs from which musical?- Oh.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Right, well, it ain't Cabaret
0:12:17 > 0:12:19and I think the Spamalot ones
0:12:19 > 0:12:21tend to be slightly more Arthurian
0:12:21 > 0:12:25in derivation, but...
0:12:26 > 0:12:28..yeah, they sound sort of Avenue Q-y,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30so we'll go for Avenue Q.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33We've got some musical lovers here, Barry, CJ?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34- BOTH:- Spamalot.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Spamalot.- Oh, gutted.- Spamalot.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40So, after three questions, you both have two, you're level.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Dougie, you're off the hook, but you need to press the advantage now.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45We go to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder,
0:12:45 > 0:12:46cos I don't give you alternatives.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51Which song, a UK hit single for The Shangri-Las in 1965
0:12:51 > 0:12:54features the revving sound of a motorcycle engine?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Well, thanks to having to listen to it in the car on holidays every year
0:12:58 > 0:13:01with my mum and dad, I think, that'll be the Leader Of The Pack.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Leader Of The Pack is quite right.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Lisa, to stay in,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08which song made famous by Frank Sinatra
0:13:08 > 0:13:12has lyrics by Paul Anka set to the tune Comme D'Habitude,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16composed by Claude Francois and Jacques Revaux.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Oh.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22That could've been a more convoluted question, but...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24it's not really helpful saying,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26"A song made famous by Frank Sinatra," is it?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It's the second part of the question
0:13:28 > 0:13:30that's going to narrow it down for you and I don't know.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37No, I can't think of anything even vaguely plausible,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39which is going to annoy me.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42So, I shall say Strangers In The Night
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and hold my hands up.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46# And now, the end is near... #
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Oh, is it that really? - Yeah, seriously.- Wow.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51My Way is the answer. Sorry, Lisa, you've been knocked out.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Well done, Dougie.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Thank you.- Good effort on Music.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Excellent stuff.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Becoming a contest, isn't it?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Do both of you please return to us, we'll play on.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So, as it stands, Ayr We Go have lost a brain from the final round.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07The Eggheads have also lost a brain.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Well done, Dougie. Good round.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11The next subject is Film & Television.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Who would like this?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Do you want me to do it, Charlie? - If you're happy with that.- Yeah.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- We would like you to do that, definitely.- Yep.- On you go.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Yep, that's fine.- OK.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Hugh, I think, difficult to resist the call-up from Charlie there.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29"We would like you to do it VERY much."
0:14:29 > 0:14:31So, who would you like to take on, Hugh?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Er... Chris, please.- OK.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Hugh from Ayr We Go versus Chris from the Eggheads.- Mm-hm.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44OK, Hugh, here we go - Film & TV against Chris.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Good luck.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Which Blue Peter presenter
0:14:53 > 0:14:57travelled to the South Pole using a bicycle for Comic Relief?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Now...I don't think it was Katy Hill or Lesley Judd.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I'll go with Helen Skelton.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09It was indeed Helen Skelton.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Over to you, Chris.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Jennifer Lawrence co-starred with which of these actors
0:15:15 > 0:15:19in both Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Now, she's the Hunger Games girl, isn't she, Jennifer Lawrence?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Er... And Chris Evans isn't THAT Chris Evans, is it?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I don't think it'd be Michael Fassbender,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36so I'll go with Bradley Cooper.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Bradley Cooper is the right answer.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Hugh, your question.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44In which film did Colin Firth play Harry Hart,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46also known as Galahad?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Well, the good thing is I've never heard of any of them...
0:15:56 > 0:15:57..so...
0:15:59 > 0:16:00..educated guess...
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I'll go with Easy Virtue.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07No. I think I think it was... He was...
0:16:07 > 0:16:08I haven't seen the film,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11but he was a guy who was in charge of agents that he'd recruited.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Yeah, and he was recruiting this young lad.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Yeah, sort of from the other side of the tracks.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Kingsman - The Secret Service was the answer.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Over to you, Chris.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Sarah Parish played Anna Rampton, the head of output,
0:16:26 > 0:16:27in which television series?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Oh, yeah, sounds like one of those menial management titles,
0:16:35 > 0:16:36doesn't it, from W1A?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41It is W1A. Well done. Yes, indeed. She's the head of output.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44She's the one who's just worrying the whole time about stuff.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48And if you work inside the BBC, it was not funny at all.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51OK. Hugh,
0:16:51 > 0:16:52your question.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56What is the name of the bass player played by Harry Shearer
0:16:56 > 0:16:59in the film This Is Spinal Tap?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Again, one that I'm not familiar with.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Uh... - CJ MOUTHS
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I will try Derek Smalls.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15You've got it right. It is Derek Smalls.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Very good.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Chris, for the round.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Before he became famous,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22which actor worked as a market porter,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25a steeplejack and a fire-eater?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Well, I don't see Jeremy Irons as a steeplejack.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36It's not David Jason either,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39cos he's been in the business since forever.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42But, given Bob Hoskins' Cockney background,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I could see him as a market porter, so it's Bob Hoskins.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Bob Hoskins is the right answer. Well done. You've taken the round.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Sorry, Hugh. Didn't really give you any quarter there, did he?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- No, he didn't, no. - He is quite methodical.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Like a train just chugging along, old Chris.- Yep.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And you've been knocked out, Hugh. Chris'll be in the final round.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05As it stands, Ayr We Go have lost two brains from the final round.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Good round from Chris there. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11And the next subject is History.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Who would like this?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Oh! A hand... I like this hand raising that's going on.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- This is a good...- It was agreed in the train on the way up.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- In training?- In the train. - Oh, on the train.- Yes.- OK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Iain against...?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- I think I'll take Barry. - Barry. All right.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33So, Iain from Ayr We Go has chosen Barry the Shirt from the Eggheads.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37And to ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39So, Iain, we're on History,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42and I can't resist pointing out that when you were 17
0:18:42 > 0:18:44you served breakfast to Douglas Bader.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- That's correct, yes. - The circumstances?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I worked at Prestwick Airport Hotel,
0:18:49 > 0:18:53and I was a waiter during the summer holidays,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56and he came in for breakfast, passing through Prestwick Airport.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00But nobody else knew who he was - even the older waiters -
0:19:00 > 0:19:03but I'd read Reach For The Sky and seen the movie.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Yeah, I've seen that film as well. That's interesting.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08So, that was pretty sharp of you to spot him.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Everybody else thought he'd been drinking...
0:19:10 > 0:19:14because of... He had false legs,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- and they thought he was unsteady on his feet.- Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Great story, Iain, and good luck in this round, History.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Do you want to go first or second?
0:19:21 > 0:19:22I'll go first.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Here we go with your first question.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31What name was sometimes used for Viking longships
0:19:31 > 0:19:34due to the shape of their prows?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Well, I don't think it was lion ships...
0:19:43 > 0:19:47..and the wolf, being a northern animal...
0:19:50 > 0:19:52..is more likely.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56And, with the same way of thinking, I'm going to discount dragon
0:19:56 > 0:20:01as it's a Far Eastern mythological creature.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03No, I'll go for wolf ships.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06No, it was dragon ships. I think it's that...
0:20:06 > 0:20:09The way the front sort of goes up and curves
0:20:09 > 0:20:10like a dragon's head.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Barry,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16the tribes called Caledonii by the Romans
0:20:16 > 0:20:19lived in which part of the British Isles?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Well, as the Caledonian Canal runs through northern Scotland,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I think I'll have to choose northern Scotland.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32And as we are filming in Glasgow, I'm glad you got that right.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Northern Scotland is correct, Barry. Well done.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Iain, back to you.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38In the 11th and 12th centuries,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41the Seljuks ruled an empire that was powerful
0:20:41 > 0:20:42in which part of the world?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I've seen that name recently...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52..but I can't remember in what context.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I'm going to discount West Africa.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Middle East.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Well done, Iain. The Middle East,
0:21:02 > 0:21:03it is. You've got a point there.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05So, you're level. Barry's chance to pull ahead.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09In the 1840s, which German author wrote the work
0:21:09 > 0:21:11The Condition Of The Working Class In England?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19He is more commonly associated with Karl Marx,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21but it was Friedrich Engels.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23It was indeed Engels.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Storming play, Barry,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26which means, Iain, you've got to get this right to stay in.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31In Ancient Greece, the brazen bull was a form of what?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I don't think it was a divination method.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm going to go for a torture device.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Torture device is correct.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48OK, Barry,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52for the round, Tipu Sultan, who led a campaign against the British
0:21:52 > 0:21:54in 18th-century India,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58was nicknamed the Tiger of which Indian kingdom?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I believe it was... He was the Tiger of Mysore.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08He was the Tiger of Mysore. Well done.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11With that, you've taken the round. Well done. Three out of three.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Sorry about that, Iain. He played well...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Yes, he did. - ..and you've been knocked out.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19But if you come back to us, both of you, we'll play the final,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22and it may be more evenly matched than it appears.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25So, this is what we have been playing towards -
0:22:25 > 0:22:27it is time for our final round,
0:22:27 > 0:22:28which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:31 > 0:22:33won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36So, Charlie, Iain and Hugh from Ayr We Go
0:22:36 > 0:22:38and also Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Well, good luck, Dougie, Alistair.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46You're playing to win Ayr We Go £18,000.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Your three colleagues at the back
0:22:47 > 0:22:50will be very, very pleased with you if you win it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52You can just leave that way and we'll slow them down.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Eggheads, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:22:55 > 0:22:57the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04You are allowed to confer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06So, Ayr We Go, the question is -
0:23:06 > 0:23:10are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13No need to answer that. Just tell me if you want to go first or second.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Go first?- Yeah. - We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Here we go with your first question.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24What term do Americans use for the boot of a car?
0:23:27 > 0:23:28- Trunk.- Trunk, yeah.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- There's no doubt about that.- No.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Trunk.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Trunk is right.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Here's your question, Eggheads.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36I feel the tension.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40What colour is the natural dye called cochineal?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Red.- It comes from the beetle, doesn't it?- Little crushed beetles.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50They're... Yeah? They breed on cacti.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55It's...a red colouring used for centuries.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Red is the correct answer.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Well done.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59One each. £18,000
0:23:59 > 0:24:02we're playing for here on Eggheads.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05What type of game is Nine Men's Morris?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- I don't know.- Nine Men's Morris...
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Never heard of it as a board game. - Never heard of it as a board game.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Ball game, it's...
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Anything like...
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- ..dodge ball or something like that, maybe?- Maybe a card game.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28I don't... Never heard of it.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Nine Men's Morris - is it like Gin Rummy or something?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Nine... Nine cards and...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Why would you be nine?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Erm...- Two to...ten... No.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42What do you think?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- I'm going to go ball game.- OK.- OK.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- OK, after a bit of debate, ball game.- Ball game.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49You ruled out cards because of
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- nine doesn't sound right - is that right?- Yeah.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53OK. Eggheads, do you know that?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- It's a board game. - A traditional English board game.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58It's a bit like... It's a kind of chequers.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01OK. What, with round pieces?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- It's got a track.- No, pegs. - Yeah, nine pegs.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05You have to manoeuvre them
0:25:05 > 0:25:08so as they jump over each other, you have two at the end.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Nine Men's Morris is a board game.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Sorry.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Your second question.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19In architecture, what name is given to the roughly triangular spaces
0:25:19 > 0:25:22between the exterior curves of an arch
0:25:22 > 0:25:25and a rectangular framework surrounding it?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Well...- Spandrels, I think.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- It's definitely not a ha-ha. - Not a ha-ha.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I'm pretty certain that they're spandrels.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Architrave...
0:25:39 > 0:25:44I think an architrave is something on... Under the frieze at the top.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Yeah, they're in the ceiling, at the top, architraves.- Yeah.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Could we have the question one more time, Jeremy?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52In architecture, what name is given to
0:25:52 > 0:25:53the roughly triangular spaces
0:25:53 > 0:25:56between the exterior curves of an arch
0:25:56 > 0:25:59and a rectangular framework surrounding it?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Spandrels. - That's definitely spandrels.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- You're definite?- Definite.- Yeah.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05OK, we're going for spandrels.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Sounds like the name of a bad '60s band,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10doesn't it?
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Spandrels is correct, though.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Barry and his architecture.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16So, you must get this one right.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Pressure is on here.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22The fictional musketeers D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis
0:26:22 > 0:26:26are based on real musketeers who lived in which century?
0:26:30 > 0:26:31- It's not 19th.- Are you sure?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- 19th's too late.- Right.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Erm... 17th.- 15th is too early?
0:26:36 > 0:26:3915th... 1400s...
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Erm...
0:26:43 > 0:26:44The book's written...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48We'll go for 17th.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Yeah?- 1600s.- 1600s.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Which is in the run-up...
0:26:54 > 0:26:56to...the French Revolution,
0:26:56 > 0:26:5717th century.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- 17th.- Right. I'm happy with that.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01OK. 17th century.
0:27:01 > 0:27:0417th century is the right answer.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Well done.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07OK, they've got two out of three.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10If you get three out of three, the contest is over.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Eggheads, what type of bird is a blackcap?
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- Was that a blackcap? - Is that a blackcap, you say?
0:27:22 > 0:27:23One word - blackcap.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Cap.- I thought it was a songbird. - Yeah, it's a warbler.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Well, it's certainly not a crow.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- I don't think it's a crow... - And it's not a falcon.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31I thought it was a warbler,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I thought it was a songbird, a blackcap.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34It's not a finch-y type...
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It's obviously not one of the other two.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- OK, are we happy with warbler, then?- Mm-hm, yeah.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42We're going to go for warbler, Jeremy.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44You reacted in such a stunned way, I thought
0:27:44 > 0:27:47you had no chance of answering this. Let's see.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Are they right? Do you think it's warbler?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50I think so.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52It's not a crow...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54it's not a falcon - it is a warbler.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Guys, thanks for playing, and I hope you enjoyed it.- Very much.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- You haven't got far to go now. - No.- No, just down the road.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10OK, you're here in Glasgow, so...
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Well, thank you for your hospitality to us, and well played.- Thank you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17And at the end, it's always...nip and tuck, isn't it?
0:28:17 > 0:28:18But the Eggheads have done
0:28:18 > 0:28:21what comes increasingly naturally to them.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Their winning streak continues.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I wonder if they're going to get to £20,000.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Does mean the Challengers don't go home with the 18,000,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Eggheads, well done. Another convincing performance.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33You lost Lisa Thiel on the way,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36but you are very much there and fighting in the final.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Who will beat you?
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if
0:28:39 > 0:28:42a new team of Challengers can defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:4419,000 says they can't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Till then, goodbye.
