0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33You feeling musical, Eggs?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Mm-hm.- Very harmonious.- All right.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Well, we'll see cos that might be important.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:41 > 0:00:42are the Sinfonics.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Now, this team are all members
0:00:43 > 0:00:45of the Cheshire Sinfonia.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Susan. I'm a GP.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, my name is Richard and I'm a medical equipment salesman.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Jenny and I'm a retired professional musician.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, my name is Ian and I'm a university lecturer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hello, my name is Louise
0:01:01 > 0:01:04and I'm a professional violinist and teacher.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09- So, Susan and team, welcome. Thanks for coming in and...- Thanks.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- ..playing, but without your instruments for once.- Yes.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14So, tell us about the sinfonia.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16So, Cheshire Sinfonia is a chamber orchestra,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19it's based in Bramhall, which is just south of Manchester
0:01:19 > 0:01:21and we all play together in the orchestra.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And are you the best quizzers in the orchestra?
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Is that how you've worked it out?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Or just the ones with the day off? LAUGHTER
0:01:27 > 0:01:32I think these are the guys who got strong-armed by me, really.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34OK, so you are a fan of the show?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I'm a fan of the show and when the idea was kind of put to us,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42I was the most enthusiastic, I think, about doing it.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- So, they suggested that I organise it. So here we are.- Brilliant.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And let's see how you do. Good luck to you, Sinfonics.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:50 > 0:01:51for our Challengers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56that prize money just rolls over to our next show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57So, where we are, Sinfonics,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59is that the Eggheads have won the last four,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01had a bit of a battering five games ago,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04but they are now back on track and keen to win.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07And £5,000 says you can't stop them.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Would you like to try? - Yes.- Mm-hm.- Good stuff.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12The first head-to-head battle is on Sport.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Who is the sporting person?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- I think I'm the one for Sport. - OK, Jenny.- Yes.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22All right, Jenny, against which Egghead? There they all are.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24What do you think, any thoughts?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Lisa?- Lisa? I think I'll try Lisa.- OK, yes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- May I go against Lisa, please? - You may.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Jenny from the Sinfonics versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Chris is breathing a sigh of something.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37LAUGHTER He's had a lot of Sport recently
0:02:37 > 0:02:40of the quiz variety, not the real variety.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK, so Sinfonics versus Eggheads
0:02:42 > 0:02:45and to ensure there is no conferring, would you please take
0:02:45 > 0:02:47your positions in our special Question Room?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Lisa, have we done much Sport recently?
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Not that recently.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I seem to have had an awful lot of Geography rounds
0:02:55 > 0:02:56getting in the way of proper things.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yeah, I know Geography was the bane, but now maybe you are out of this
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- and you are into the sports end. - Well, one can only hope.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04OK, Jenny, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Good luck. What was your instrument by the way, Jenny?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Viola, I play.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Wonderful. Here's your question.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Which of these British drivers
0:03:16 > 0:03:18became Formula 1 world champion first?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Um...
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Well, Jenson Button is too recent.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33And I think Damon Hill... I'll go for James Hunt, please.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34James Hunt is right.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Lisa, which country
0:03:37 > 0:03:41topped the medal table at the 2014 Winter Olympics with 13 golds
0:03:41 > 0:03:43and 33 medals in total?
0:03:47 > 0:03:5013 golds and 33 medals in total.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I think there was something about the host nation not doing as
0:03:53 > 0:03:56well as it normally does, so it wasn't...
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Or was it Russia? Hang on.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I don't think it was China, but I'm now panicking...
0:04:03 > 0:04:06..cos there was... I can't remember whether it was 2010 or 2014
0:04:06 > 0:04:08where the host nation didn't top the medal table.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11I'll try Russia.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- This was in Sochi, was it?- Yeah.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Russia is the right answer.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Well done, they won on their home territory.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Jenny, who captained
0:04:19 > 0:04:23the European team at golf's 1999 Ryder Cup,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26which was nicknamed the Battle of Brookline?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Ah, now, I have to think about this.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Don't think it was Mark James.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40No, I think I'm going to go for Seve.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Mark James is the answer, Jenny. - Yeah.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45OK, Lisa, which country won tennis'
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Davis Cup 15 times
0:04:48 > 0:04:51between 1950 and 1967?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Between those years, I would have thought the country
0:04:58 > 0:05:03with the greatest majority of dominant players would be Australia.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08It might be the USA, they have won it an awful lot of times,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11but that might be later getting into the...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13'70s and '80s where they were having their runs.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'll try Australia.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Australia is correct.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So, she is ahead, Jenny. You've got to try
0:05:20 > 0:05:21- and stop her.- Yeah.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Get this wrong and you will be out.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Danielle Harrison and Phillip Harris have both represented Britain
0:05:28 > 0:05:29in which sport?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Well, I don't know. Um...
0:05:37 > 0:05:39But before the answers came up,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I thought it might be ice-skating,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43so I'll stick with my inkling
0:05:43 > 0:05:45and go for ice-skating.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Yeah, the spirit of Daphne, your inkling is absolutely right there.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Oh!- Ice-skating is correct.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53So, Lisa has a chance to take the round.
0:05:53 > 0:06:00In which sport did the Hungarian Laszlo Papp win gold medals
0:06:00 > 0:06:04at the 1948, 1952 and 1956 Olympic games?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Tricky, tricky.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Not heard of him, don't know if I can make a case for anything.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I might just have to blind guess it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- I'll say boxing. - HE LAUGHS
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Is she right, Eggheads?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- ALL:- Yes.- Yeah, boxing is the right answer.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Three out of three.- Ooh! - Sorry, Jenny.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Beaten by our Egghead there.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27It's what they do.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And you've got to try and stop them.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Come back to us and we will play the next round.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36As it stands, the Sinfonics have lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37They've lost Jenny.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39The Eggheads are still sitting pretty, all five of them.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41The next subject is Film & TV.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Who would like this?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- It's you or me, isn't it?- Well... No.- Not me.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50We had said that you would do the TV,
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- but do we want to keep you for the General Knowledge?- Not necessarily.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57That's up to you. It's up to you, Suze. I mean, I'll...
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- If Music comes up, would you rather I did Music?- Yeah, go on.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- So, I will...- Susan, OK. - ..have a whirl.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05All right, Susan on Film & TV against which Egghead?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- What about Chris?- I sort of think he's...- OK, yeah.- Chris, please.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Good stuff. So, Susan from Sinfonics versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Please go to the chamber of contemplation.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Susan, you spent a bit of time as a doctor in Australia.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Yeah, that's right. I did.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Treating snakebites.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yeah, so one of the places I worked
0:07:26 > 0:07:29was the regional centre for toxinology,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32so we got the snake and spider bites used to come in.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34And any dramatic or exotic ones there?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Some brown snake bites, a lot of redback spider bites.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I didn't see any funnel-web bites.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43They are the really nasty ones, but they did come in,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45but not on my shift.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49People used to bring them in in Tupperware boxes to check that
0:07:49 > 0:07:50- they were the right things.- Wow.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53You always have to look in your shoes in Australia
0:07:53 > 0:07:55before you put your feet in them, I gather.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Well, we were kind of quite urban, so it wasn't quite so bad,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01but I think if you live in the country, in the outback,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03yeah, you've got to be really careful.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Toilet seats, shoes, that sort of thing.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08So, Film & TV, Susan. Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'll go first, please.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Good luck.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Which of these made their debut as a professional dancer
0:08:18 > 0:08:21on the 2015 series of Strictly Come Dancing?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Oh, well, this one is up my street cos I watch it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It's Giovanni Pernice.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It is indeed Giovanni.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37It's so funny cos he's actually a massive fan of Eggheads.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40So, he will be so excited when I tell him this came up.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Every time I saw him on Strictly, he always said,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45"Jeremy, do you want to go first or second?"
0:08:45 > 0:08:47That's what he said every time. So well done.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I'm so glad you got that right.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51OK, Chris, which trilogy
0:08:51 > 0:08:53of films was released in France
0:08:53 > 0:08:56under the title Very Bad Trip?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Very Bad Trip, yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08Well, presumably, very bad trip in French, tres mal voyage or whatever.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Um...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Not The Godfather, not Back To The Future,
0:09:13 > 0:09:14it sounds like The Hangover.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16It was a pretty bad trip, so I'll say The Hangover.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Yeah, the first one of those films is really funny as well.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- The Hangover is right.- Yeah.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22OK, Susan,
0:09:22 > 0:09:27in 1939, which film became the first foreign language film
0:09:27 > 0:09:31to be nominated in the Best Picture category at the Academy Awards?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37OK, I don't know. I hoped Gone With The Wind
0:09:37 > 0:09:41was going to be one of the answers when you said 1939. Um...
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I think La Dolce Vita was a bit later.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46The other two, I haven't got a clue.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I'm going to go for La Grande Illusion.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51La Grande Illusion is correct.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53OK. Chris, over to you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Which actor won a BAFTA
0:09:54 > 0:09:58in 2006 for his portrayal of the government weapons inspector
0:09:58 > 0:10:01and scientist Dr David Kelly?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I have an idea that was Mark Rylance.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Nicely done. It was.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Almost unguessable there, but you are absolutely right.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16OK, can't quite shake him off,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Susan, can you? Try and do your third question.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Get this right and Chris may just implode.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Which English comedy actor played Igor opposite
0:10:25 > 0:10:31Gene Wilder's Dr Frankenstein in the 1974 film Young Frankenstein?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Again, I don't know.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40The one that is jumping out at me is Kenneth Williams, so...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42..for good or for ill, I'm going to go for that.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I don't think you were born in '74, but as a nine-year-old,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- I remember these posters and the face of Marty Feldman.- Ah, OK.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51OK, so Chris, you can take the round with this question.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54The actors Rami Malek and Christian Slater
0:10:54 > 0:10:58received Golden Globe acting nominations for their performances
0:10:58 > 0:11:00in which 2015 TV programme?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Ah, haven't got a clue, Jeremy.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Sounds like it might be sort of buddy/partner, cop-type thing,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16which suggests to me they're on the drug squad. So it's Narcos.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Narcos.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19No, it's not, actually.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Mr Robot is the answer.- Uh-huh.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Mr Robot. We go to Sudden Death.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Susan, gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28The main thing is, you are still in. That's the key.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32What is the first name of the character played by Simon Bird
0:11:32 > 0:11:36in the TV comedy series the Inbetweeners?
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Let's go for Will.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Will is correct. SHE SIGHS
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Really well done.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43OK. Sudden Death.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Chris, you get this wrong, you are not in the final.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47What was the name of the Battery Boy
0:11:47 > 0:11:52in the title of the TV puppet series of the 1950s and '60s?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Now, we are excavating, aren't we? It was Torchy.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Torchy is right.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Good play. Sudden Death.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Susan, what was the name of the captain of the USS Enterprise
0:12:04 > 0:12:08in The Cage, the 1960s pilot for the show
0:12:08 > 0:12:10that would later become Star Trek?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Pike?- Ooh!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Need a first name.- Oh...
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Christopher.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- That is the right answer.- Well done.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Christopher Pike is the right answer. Brilliant!
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Now you've got to hope that Chris gets this wrong.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Which popular TV game show host, who died in 2012,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32was one of the earliest actors to play the character of James Bond
0:12:32 > 0:12:36in a 1950s radio dramatisation of Moonraker?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Bob Holness.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Bob Holness is correct.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Susan, Sudden Death. Your question.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Which Northern Irish comedian and presenter
0:12:44 > 0:12:46married Cat Deely in 2012?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Patrick Kielty.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Patrick Kielty is right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Well done.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Chris, in the 2002 film
0:12:53 > 0:12:56the Bourne Identity, the main character
0:12:56 > 0:13:00travels around which continent as he attempts to work out who he is?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Never seen it.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Must be Asia.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10No, it mustn't be. It's Europe.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11- Huh.- Susan, well done.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You've taken the round on Sudden Death.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Nicely done. You had to hold your nerve there, my goodness!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19That Christopher Pike answer was genius.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22So, Susan is in the final, Chris is not.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Please, both of you, return to us and we will play on.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28As it stands, the Sinfonics have lost a brain
0:13:28 > 0:13:32from the final round, the Eggheads have lost a brain as well.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35And we move on to our next subject - Arts & Books.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Whose is this?- I think that's me.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Louise. Hang on. Hang on.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Don't get up yet. - Who do we want to...?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Who do you want to play against? - Who do I want to play? Hm.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Louise, who would you like to strike with your bow?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I think I'll strike Dave, please.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So, Louise from the Sinfonics versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54You ready to play, Dave?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Well, again, no real option.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Better play, hadn't I? - No option at all. Arts & Books.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Please go to the special room.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05OK, Louise, Arts & Books and would you like to go first or second?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Here we go.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The book known as The Count of Monte Cristo
0:14:15 > 0:14:18in English was originally written in which language?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I think this was written in French.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25French is right.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Dave.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Willy Loman is the central character in which play by Arthur Miller?
0:14:37 > 0:14:42I love this question for financial reasons.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43It's Death Of A Salesman.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- You love it for financial reasons? - Yeah.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Oh, because it was a winning question for you on Millionaire?
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Yeah, but it was the key one.
0:14:49 > 0:14:55It was the 32,000 one and I think Pat and Barry will identify
0:14:55 > 0:14:58that once you get to 32,000, you know, that can't be taken away,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00that's a key mark
0:15:00 > 0:15:03in your progress on that show.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Dave, Death Of A Salesman is right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Louise, which Oscar-winning film-maker
0:15:07 > 0:15:11won the Turner Prize for modern art in 1999?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I don't think it was Steve McQueen.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Danny Boyle...
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Hm, I'm used to hearing more about recently.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I think I'll go with Sam Mendes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Sam Mendes is your answer. Let me get Barry on this.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- You know the answer? - It was Steve McQueen, I'm afraid.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Steve McQueen? What, the famous film star?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35No, not the film star, the famous film director.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Oh, all right, so there's two of them.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Yes, there's two of them.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Steve McQueen is the answer.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Dave, your question to take the lead.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47Battlefield Earth is a science fiction novel by the founder
0:15:47 > 0:15:48of which organization?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55You would have to go some...
0:15:55 > 0:15:59It would be a 1865 novel for the Salvation Army
0:15:59 > 0:16:02or a 1900 novel for The Scout Movement.
0:16:02 > 0:16:09I believe it was L Ron Hubbard and Scientology because it became
0:16:09 > 0:16:13a film, a much-panned film featuring John Travolta.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Scientology.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Scientology is the right answer.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18OK, so, Louise, try
0:16:18 > 0:16:20and get this one right to stay in.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Who wrote the 1988 play Hapgood
0:16:23 > 0:16:24about a female spy master
0:16:24 > 0:16:28who was played by Felicity Kendal in the original production?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I don't know this one, but something said David Hare.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38But it's just a guess.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41It sounds like one of his cos he did Racing Demons and all of that.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Tom Stoppard is the answer there, Louise.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Sorry, he's been knocked out by Dave.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Dave, you'll be in the final round.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Come back to us and we will play the last round before the final.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54OK, so here we are. The Sinfonics have lost two brains
0:16:54 > 0:16:57from the final round, the Eggheads have lost a brain as well.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Last round before the final is Science.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Who would like this?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- I think...- That's you. - ..that I will do this, so...
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- It's me.- Ian. What's your subject, Ian?- Computer science.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12OK, that's handy. You can go either against Pat or Barry.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- I think Barry is good at art, isn't he?- Yeah, I think Barry.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- I think Barry. I think Pat is quite good...- Yes, I think.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I'm guided entirely by you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Go with Jenny. I think she knows. - Try Barry. Yes, let's try Barry.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24I'll go with Barry, please.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Good stuff, so it's Ian from the Sinfonics,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30computer science is his thing, versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- All kinds of science... - Hopefully.- ..is your thing.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Yeah. So, for the last time, please go to our Question Room.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Good luck to you, Ian. I hope it's up your street.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Science is the subject and you are up against Barry,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45who spends his evenings wrapped in the periodic table.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Would you like to go first or second?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I'll go first, please.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Here we go. All the best.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58In geometry, a trapezoid has how many sides?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Four.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Four is correct.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Good.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Barry,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09the common method of rebooting personal computers
0:18:09 > 0:18:12invented by IBM engineer David Bradley
0:18:12 > 0:18:17is to press delete, alt and which other key simultaneously?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It's control.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Control-alt-delete. Well done.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27OK, over to you, Ian.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32By what name are the winged fruits of hornbeam and elm trees
0:18:32 > 0:18:34properly known?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I don't know the answer to this.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I don't know and I am guessing.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45And I'm going to have to try carpel.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Let's see if Barry knows.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48It's samara.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Sorry, Ian, samara is the answer.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Barry has a chance to take the lead.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57The first reported case of the respiratory virus known as SARS
0:18:57 > 0:18:59was in which country in 2002?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Oh, goodness, this is a good question.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I really don't know the answer to this one,
0:19:07 > 0:19:08so this is going to be a guess.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I'll go for Spain, but I really don't know.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15OK, Eggheads, do we know?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- I think it's China.- China.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18China is the answer.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So, you are level.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23A bit of a let off there, Ian. That's good, isn't it?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Well, we'll see.- Hold focus here.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30Named after a Finnish doctor who first described it in the 1920s,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Von Willebrand disease affects which part of the body?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Well, it's a great shame that we don't have Susan here
0:19:41 > 0:19:45doing this round as well, but she has already won her round.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It is pretty well a wild guess,
0:19:47 > 0:19:52so I will guess the nervous system for no reason whatsoever.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54OK, let's ask the doctor. Susan.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- It's blood.- It's blood, says Susan.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59OK, you are not out of it yet, though, Ian.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Barry's had his moments.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Your question, Barry, to get into the final.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08In 2015, it was announced that which musician was backing
0:20:08 > 0:20:13a plan to conduct experiments to see if chimpanzees could communicate
0:20:13 > 0:20:17by using video-conferencing technology?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Goodness me, that is a question and a half.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I haven't a clue.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30But Peter Gabriel has been involved in all sorts of interesting
0:20:30 > 0:20:33schemes of late, so on that basis and that basis alone,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- I'll go for Peter Gabriel. - Eggheads, is he right?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- He is right.- He is right says Pat. Yes, you've got it, Barry.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Sorry, Ian. I know science ranges so widely, doesn't it?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Well, there it is.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46There it is, but let's see what happens.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Come back to us, rejoin your teams, we'll play the final.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57It is time for our final round. As always, it is General Knowledge.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:20:59 > 0:21:02allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04So, Jenny, Ian and Louise from the Sinfonics
0:21:04 > 0:21:08and also Chris from the Eggheads, would you please leave the studio?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13All right, Susan and Richard, husband and wife,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16you are playing to win the Sinfonics £5,000.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Dave, Lisa, Pat and Barry, you are playing for something
0:21:19 > 0:21:22that money can't buy, which is your reputations
0:21:22 > 0:21:24and to keep this little streak you've got,
0:21:24 > 0:21:25turn it into something bigger.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28As usual, I will ask each team three question in turn.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33You are allowed to confer, Challengers.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34So, Susan and Richard,
0:21:34 > 0:21:38the question is - can your two brains take down these four?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Would you like to go first or second?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Carry on with first? We would like to go first.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48All right, General Knowledge.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50What word is used to refer to the habit of ignoring someone
0:21:50 > 0:21:52in favour of a mobile phone?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Do you know this?- No, I don't.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01The one that I've heard of is phishing,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03but I have got a feeling that might be something else.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I think phishing is something to do with advertising.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Advertising, isn't it, online?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11So if it's a mobile phone... To pub, to phreak.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Phubbing as an fobbing off is one that comes to me.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- And it would be like a mobile phone? - Yeah.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Phreaking is sort of more animated and phubbing is sort of...- Yeah.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- Talk to the hand.- Yeah, should we go phubbing, then?- Yeah.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I think we are going to go with phubbing, please, Jeremy.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Yeah, phubbing is correct,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30but it's not one I've ever heard or used.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32It's a portmanteau word -
0:22:32 > 0:22:33phone snubbing.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37So, phubbing is the answer there. OK, Eggheads, in 2014,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Gary Neville and Phil Neville became co-owners of which football club?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- I think Salford City.- Salford City. - Salford City.- Yeah.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Happy with that? - Yeah, I'm happy with that.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Salford City.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Salford City is quite right.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Local to Man U.
0:22:57 > 0:23:04Challengers, which musician did the model Chrissy Teigen marry in 2013?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Do you know?- Well, I don't think Will.i.am is married.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14No, I don't either.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Robin Thicke certainly was married,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18but then I think he split up
0:23:18 > 0:23:19and I don't know if he's married
0:23:19 > 0:23:21somebody else since then.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I know nothing about John Legend's sort of marital status.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Don't know why I think Robin Thicke. - Do you want to go...?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- I mean, that's the name that I thought of.- Before they came up?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- No, when they came up. - When they came up.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37He certainly got a more colourful love life than the others, I think.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- But it's a bit of a guess, but we we'll go for it.- Shall we try it?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Jeremy, we'd like to try Robin Thicke.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Let's see if the Eggheads know. Is this right?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- No, it's John Legend.- John Legend.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Not Will.i.am, but John Legend.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51OK. Here's your question.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55In 2014, Charles Michel was elected Prime Minister of
0:23:55 > 0:23:57which European country?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- I think we can rule out France. - Yes, I was just about to say that.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- That's Valls.- Yes, Manuel Valls. - OK, so...
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Belgium versus Luxembourg.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12They went a long time without a government in Belgium.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Have they had...Elio Di Rupo? Is he the current Belgian leader?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- I'm not sure. - Do they have a president in...?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Get the spelling of Michel, to be honest.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Can we have a spelling please? - M-I-C-H-E-L.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Cos that sounds more
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Luxembourg-ish, to be fair.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Well, they went a long time without a prime minister or
0:24:30 > 0:24:32government in Belgium, I'm sure.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34When they did have one, they made a big...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36It was in all the papers, I'm sure I would have recognised
0:24:36 > 0:24:38the name if it was Charles Michel.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Michel, the EL at the end just sounds more Luxembourg-ish,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45but that... I don't have any anything else to...
0:24:45 > 0:24:46So we...
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I'm inclined to Luxembourg because I think I would have recognised
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- the Belgian name when they came up. - What about yourself, Lisa?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I actually have a slight preference for Belgium based on
0:24:55 > 0:24:56I think I've heard a different name
0:24:56 > 0:24:58for Luxembourg, but I couldn't
0:24:58 > 0:25:01tell you anything about the actual name, so, Pat, if you've got a...
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Let's have a think about this. - I really don't know.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05I'm not sure of this at all.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I mean, if it turns out to be Belgium,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I wouldn't be that shaken,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11you know, surprised.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13On the basis you've got a name for Belgium, Pat.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Who may or may not be.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17It may or may not be, but there is a name
0:25:17 > 0:25:19and we don't have a name for
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Luxembourg and it might be a better fit.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- What do you think...? - THEY TALK AT SAME TIME
0:25:22 > 0:25:25OK, Barry, you happy with...? Well, we will go Luxembourg.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Yeah, a bit risky.- It is risky.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- OK, we are not completely sure of this.- Or at all.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33We can dismiss France easily
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and we feel like we have some reasons
0:25:35 > 0:25:36to get rid of Belgium.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39So we are going for Luxembourg.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It's not France. It is Belgium.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- ALL:- Ooh!- I'm sorry, guys. - Oh, that's all right.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Sooo...you had
0:25:45 > 0:25:47a little bit of luck there.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49They've matched your wrong answer with their own.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Get this right, put some pressure on. £5,000, you are playing for.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Who wrote the 2002 graphic novel Diary Of A Teenage Girl,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01which was turned into a film in 2015?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Well, Catlin Moran doesn't write graphic novels.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12She writes biographies and novels and things.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I don't think she ever has.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16And there is...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I'm just thinking there's somebody, the person that wrote Tamara Drewe
0:26:21 > 0:26:24that was also made into a film, graphic novel.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27About the life of a young woman.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33Now, I can't remember the name of the author.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36So Phoebe Gloeckner or Posy Simmonds.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- You know nothing about graphic novels?- Not a thing.- Not a thing.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43So, Gloeckner sounds sort of German.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Do Germans write graphic novels?
0:26:45 > 0:26:46I think so, yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Posy Simmonds sounds English. - I know, yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Maybe it is Posy Simmonds, maybe that's why I've heard of it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- What do you think, Posy Simmonds? - Posy is the one I kind of...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I'm going to plump for,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00but it's with very little certainty.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I know we've got very little to go on, haven't we? Shall we...?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- Go on.- An uneducated guess, Posy Simmonds.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Posy Simmonds.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Well, it's not Caitlin Moran.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Phoebe Gloeckner is the answer.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Ahh!- Phoebe Gloeckner.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16So, Eggheads, this for the contest.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Who originally had a hit with the song The Greatest Love Of All
0:27:19 > 0:27:24in 1977, eight years before Whitney Houston recorded it?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- George Benson.- Benson.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Definitely, George Benson.- Yeah. Yeah, it is.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Greatest Love Of All. George Benson. - It's a song that's caught me
0:27:34 > 0:27:36out before, but in this case, I think you are right.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Definitely George Benson. - Yeah, yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'm getting some strong feedback from my team-mates here.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42He said the word George Benson about
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- eight times.- He did.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45I think I'll have to say
0:27:45 > 0:27:46George Benson.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48The answer is George Benson.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Well played.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I know you would have known the musical question.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Yeah, we knew that one. - Yeah, yeah, but anyway,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01commiserations, Sinfonics.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I'm sorry, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05most of the time, anyway.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07And they still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £5,000,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Eggheads, very well done.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Who, I wonder, will beat you?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Let's see if it happens next time.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21A new team of Challengers will challenge the Eggheads
0:28:21 > 0:28:23to win £6,000.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Until then, goodbye.
