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 > 0:00:33- Here they are, the Eggheads, raring to go.- Oh, yes.- Absolutely.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And you've got the short sleeves on, Barry.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Resplendent in colours.- Indeed.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are the Omelette Makers from Scotland.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Now, this team of colleagues all work together as civil servants.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Simon and David regularly quiz together
0:00:47 > 0:00:49at the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Simon and I'm a customs officer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Graham. I'm a tax inspector.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Laura and I'm a customs officer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Tom and I'm a tax inspector.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm David and I'm also a tax inspector.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So, Simon and team, welcome. Thank you for coming.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I said Scotland, it's Glasgow, Edinburgh, is it?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Yeah, the first four of us are based in Glasgow
0:01:13 > 0:01:14and David's based in Edinburgh.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16So, across the Central Belt.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And I think I know why you've called yourself the Omelette Makers
0:01:19 > 0:01:20but I better just check.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Yeah, just a playful play on words.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- You can't make an omelette without breaking a few Eggheads.- Yes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30So, hopefully, with the right sort of questions tonight
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- we might break a few. - Yep, emotionally and quizzically.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36So you haven't quizzed as a complete team, Simon, is that right?
0:01:36 > 0:01:37No, that's correct.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41David and I have quizzed together but this is a bit of a test
0:01:41 > 0:01:43as a five-piece band.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And when you said the Voodoo Rooms,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I noticed you guys went, "Ooh," like that.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Yes, we've quizzed there also, many times.- Oh, have you?- Mm-hm.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Have you ever seen them down there? - Yeah, a couple of them.- Really?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Do they go in disguise?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- They try to, but everyone recognises them.- Oh, well...
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I remember Barry once drew a beard to try and cover himself up.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02He did, yes.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And he also wears very bright jackets sometimes
0:02:04 > 0:02:05so people don't notice him.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:08 > 0:02:09for our Challengers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15OK, Omelette Makers, with the brilliant name,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17the Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20they're starting to get into their stride,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23they're starting to get a bit smug. So, you've got to stop them.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25£6,000 is in play.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Would you like to try and win it? - Yes, we would.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Right, Simon and team, the first head-to-head battle is on Politics.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Who would like this? - That'll be me, then.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Yes, I think we'll go with David for this one.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38David, at the end, our tax inspector.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- And who would you like to inspect? - Lisa?- Yeah, I'll go to Lisa.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Oh, I am worth inspecting, sir. - THEY LAUGH
0:02:45 > 0:02:47So David from the Omelette Makers
0:02:47 > 0:02:49versus Lisa from the Eggheads on Politics.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53would you please both take your positions
0:02:53 > 0:02:55in our very famous Question Room?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00OK, politics for you, David. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Here's your question.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09What is the name of the document issued by a political party
0:03:09 > 0:03:12before a general election that contains the set of policies
0:03:12 > 0:03:15that the party stands for and would wish to implement
0:03:15 > 0:03:17if elected to govern?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Well, Bill of Rights is the US term
0:03:23 > 0:03:26for the first ten parts of the Constitution.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30The white paper is sort of a bill that goes before Parliament.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31So it would have to be a manifesto.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Manifesto is quite right. Well done.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Lisa, your question.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Which of these organisations sits in Strasbourg?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45See, I was getting myself confused there,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48cos I immediately thought the European Parliament
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and then I went, "Oh, no, that's Brussels."
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Yeah, European Parliament.- Yeah.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56It's one of these jokes that people make the whole time is
0:03:56 > 0:03:59they can't even have one parliament, they have to have two.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02European Parliament is in Strasbourg and in Brussels as well.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Well, that's just as well.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Go backwards and forwards, yeah.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09OK. David, back to you.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Which Conservative politician, following consistent speculation
0:04:12 > 0:04:16about his hair, admitted that there was, I quote,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20"Some, but only some, enhancement of the follicular area?"
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Well, the one with the famous hair is Michael Fabricant.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- So, I'll have to go for that. - It is, yes. Bless him.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Michael Fabricant has a large mop of blonde hair.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Your question, Lisa.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Which politician became the bookmakers' favourite
0:04:36 > 0:04:38to become the next leader of the Labour Party
0:04:38 > 0:04:43following a speech he gave in favour of bombing Syria in November, 2015?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Now, Hilary Benn does not strike me, necessarily,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54as the "let's bomb Syria" type.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Of course, the problem with the other two is
0:04:56 > 0:04:59they've sort of had their chance and binned it off, really.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I don't know. I sort of want to say Hilary Benn but it could just be
0:05:04 > 0:05:06an absolutely catastrophic thing to say,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10on the basis I don't really think it's his sort of policy.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12It's time to weigh this up.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15If I say Hilary Benn and it's wrong, I'm going to feel really stupid.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18If I don't say Hilary Benn and it's right,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I will feel marginally less stupid.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23On which basis, I will go for Andy Burnham.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25BARRY GROANS
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Caramba!
0:05:28 > 0:05:29You know this, David?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Yes. It was the Shadow Foreign Secretary at the time.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33So, it's Hilary Benn.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34That makes more sense.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Cos what happened is he kind of made this speech completely
0:05:38 > 0:05:42anti-Jeremy Corbyn's position with Corbyn sitting next to him.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44And everyone thought, "OK. There's the next leader."
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Hilary Benn is the right answer.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Biggest moment in the House of Commons for about 15 years.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Thank you, Jeremy. I feel so much better when you rub it in.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I'm just saying there must have been a reason you missed it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55OK. David, your question.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Who was the first Democrat president since Franklin D Roosevelt
0:05:59 > 0:06:01to win consecutive terms of office?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Well, Jimmy Carter only won the one term.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Bill Clinton won in the '92 and the '96 election
0:06:12 > 0:06:13and that was before Obama.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15So, it would have to be Bill Clinton.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yes, it was Bill Clinton, well done.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19You've got three out of three there, David.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21You're a very good quizzer, I can tell.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23You're in the final round. Lisa, sorry.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24I can hear the hiss of the frying pan
0:06:24 > 0:06:26and see the whisk coming towards me.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Come back to us, both of you, and we will play on.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33As it stands, the Omelette Makers
0:06:33 > 0:06:35have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37They've taken first blood here.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40They've broken an egg, as you have to do to make an omelette.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44The Eggheads have lost Lisa. The next subject is Science.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Who's the scientist?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Tom, you said you would have a go at this, didn't you?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Somewhat reluctantly it's me.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Tom, another tax inspector, against which Egghead?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Try Pat?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- I think we agreed Pat.- Yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00OK. Let's go for Pat.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Tom from the Omelette Makers will play Pat, the Silent Destroyer,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05from the Eggheads.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11All right, Science, Tom, is the subject.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Would you like to go first or second against the Silent Destroyer?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I would like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Here is your question.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Which of these animals typically spends up to 16 hours a day
0:07:25 > 0:07:27submerged in rivers or lakes?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34OK. It's certainly not an elephant.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39They certainly don't go underwater as much as that.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Hippopotamuses are well-known for spending time in water,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45so I think I'd like to go for hippopotamus, please.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Hippopotamus is quite right.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51OK, Pat, which chemical element takes its symbol from
0:07:51 > 0:07:55an abbreviation of the New Latin word natrium or nat-rium?
0:08:00 > 0:08:05I think Na for natrium is also the symbol for sodium.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Yes, it is. Na is sodium.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10All right. Tom, back to you.
0:08:10 > 0:08:17Steel is made by combining iron with which other element?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Certainly not silver.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29Steel's very, very strong for all the uses that it has.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32On that basis, given that titanium is very, very strong,
0:08:32 > 0:08:37I think I will go for titanium, but I'm not 100% sure.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38We'll go to Barry on this. Barry?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I'm afraid it's carbon.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41- Carbon is the answer.- Ah, OK.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Pat, your chance to take the lead.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47The reticulated python,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50sometimes called the largest snake in the world,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52often reaches what length when mature?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Well, it's the longest snake in the world
0:08:58 > 0:09:02so I think we can dismiss two metres, that doesn't cut much ice...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04amongst the big snakes.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Seven metres is 21 foot, which is a very substantial snake.
0:09:08 > 0:09:1314 metres - 42 feet. 42 feet is a long snake.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'm slightly uneasy about seven versus 14.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18One seems too small and one seems too big.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23The largest of all snakes is going to have to be
0:09:23 > 0:09:24a bit special, isn't it?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I think to claim the crown, I think you'll have to go to 14 metres.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- It's too long.- Too long?
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Seven metres.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34OK.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Tom, your question.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Which scientist famously likened himself to the Hindu deity Vishnu
0:09:40 > 0:09:44when he quoted these words from the Bhagavad-Gita -
0:09:44 > 0:09:48"I am become Death, destroyer of worlds"?
0:09:54 > 0:09:59I don't know the answer. I've not heard that quote before.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I don't think it sounds like something that Albert Einstein
0:10:03 > 0:10:05would have said.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Um...
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Oppenheimer obviously instrumental in the invention of
0:10:10 > 0:10:12a very serious weapon.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So, I think, of the three,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I think I would like to go for the middle one, for Oppenheimer, please.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Oppenheimer. Now, Eggheads, in contemplating that,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24we need to remember what Nobel did before he invented the Peace Prize.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25He invented dynamite.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27He invented dynamite.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30So, there is that. But which is the right answer, Eggs, do you know?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- BOTH:- Oppenheimer. - Oppenheimer's right.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34So, you have taken the lead, Tom.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And Pat, if you get this wrong, it's over.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Which dwarf planet in our solar system is named after
0:10:43 > 0:10:45the Greek goddess of discord?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I think that's Eris.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Eris is correct.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Tom, we go to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I don't give you alternatives. Are you ready for your question?
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- Yes, I am.- In mathematics, what is the cube root of 343?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I'm trying to do some mental arithmetic here.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I'm sorry, I don't think I'm going to be able to work it out, Jeremy.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Do you want to take a stab at it?
0:11:19 > 0:11:25Because it's Sudden Death and I can pick a number, I'll say 81.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26- Challengers, do you know?- Seven.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Seven is the answer. Seven times seven times seven.- OK. No problem.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33It's OK. Very hard in that room not to go blank sometimes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Sudden Death, your chance to take the round, Pat.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38The French mathematician, physicist
0:11:38 > 0:11:44and philosopher Blaise Pascal lived during which century?
0:11:44 > 0:11:50Blaise Pascal. Well, he's got to be down somewhere in the 1600s.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Could he have stretched into the 1700s?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59I think 15 is too early. 17 is too late.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02So, it's the 1600s, which is the 17th century.
0:12:02 > 0:12:0417th century.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Yes, he was 1623 to 1662, so it is the 17th.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Pat, on Sudden Death, you've beaten Tom. Tom, sorry.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I know you know the cube root thing.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14No, I don't, actually.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- It's a long time ago I did maths at school.- Cubes and squares.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20All right, well, do come back to us, both of you,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and we'll see what happens in the next round.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27So, as it stands, the Omelette Makers have broken one Egg
0:12:27 > 0:12:30but the Eggs have broken back, just to continue the analogy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35So, both teams have lost a brain. The next subject is Geography.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Which Omelette Maker would like this?- That's you, Simon.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- The traveller, yes.- That'll be me.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42OK, team captain, Simon, against which Egghead -
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Kevin, Dave or Barry?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Let's try Dave.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48So, it's Simon from the Omelette Makers
0:12:48 > 0:12:50versus our Dave from the Eggheads.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54please go now to the Chamber Of Challenge.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Simon, Geography. Do you want to go first or second?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I would like to go first, please.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Here we go. Which of these islands is the largest by area, Simon?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I've not been to any of them.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Um...
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Isle of Man or Jersey?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20I'm just trying to imagine seeing the two of them on a map.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Which one would look larger?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27I am going to go with the Isle of Man.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Nicely done. Isle of Man, it is.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34That's a hard question.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Dave, which landlocked country lies between Russia and China?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Mongolia.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Blimey, you didn't hang about there.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Didn't want to hang about.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Understood. Mongolia is right.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Simon, Jakarta is a city in which country?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You're really picking the places I've not been to.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I do know this one, though. Jakarta is in Indonesia.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Indonesia is correct.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08David, your question.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11By area, which is the largest bay in the world?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20No, I don't like it, really, but...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23we'll rule out the Bay of Biscay,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26rule out Baffin Bay and go for the Bay of Bengal, please.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28And you don't like it, what, cos you've been there or...?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30No, no, not at all. It's just the...
0:14:30 > 0:14:36With sizes, it's very hard to visualise, you know,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38which one, even looking at a map,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42trying to put them all in context, because they've all got distances.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43But I will go with the Bay of Bengal.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Bay of Bengal is the right answer.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48So, you're locked in step here.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Simon, your third question could be crucial.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Which is the most southerly country on the Arabian Peninsula?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Well, Jordan is quite far north, so I'm going to rule that out.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05And Oman and Yemen both sit on the bottom.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09But I believe the angle it sits at, Yemen sits to the left
0:15:09 > 0:15:10and it's further south.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12So, I'm going to go with Yemen.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Yeah, you're really good. Yemen is right.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Ooh. This is a good team we've got here, Eggheads.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Dave, your third question to stay in.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Which design is pictured at the centre of the flag of Swaziland?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33I'm trying to think. There is one with a shield and weapons.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Now, is it Swaziland? I don't think it's a...
0:15:37 > 0:15:38It could be a golden sun.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42It could be a flying eagle. No, I'm sorry.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I'm going to go for a shield and weapons, please.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Don't be sorry. It's right. It's the correct answer.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50So, you're equal after three.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54No-one's made a mistake in this round so far. Simon, back to you.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Cheyenne is the capital of which US state?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04OK. I'm going to go with my first thought, North Dakota.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It's Wyoming.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Dave, your question
0:16:08 > 0:16:10is for the round.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15The San Juan River forms part of the border between Nicaragua
0:16:15 > 0:16:17and which other country?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- San Juan River?- Yeah.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Well, I'm going to go Costa Rica.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Yes, Costa Rica is the right answer, Dave.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Sudden Death, you've taken the round.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Simon, sorry, beaten by our Egghead.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30As a result you won't be able to take part in the final.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33If you return to your team-mates, we'll play the next round.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36So, as it stands,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39the Omelette Makers have lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41The Eggheads have still just lost the one.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45The last subject before the final is Film & TV.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47So, whose is this?
0:16:48 > 0:16:49- That's Laura, I think.- That's me.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I think you'll be quite good at this.- Yeah, I'll go for it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55OK, Laura, customs officer, whose bags would you like to look inside?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58THEY ALL CHUCKLE
0:16:58 > 0:17:00It's Kevin or Barry, I don't know how much of a choice that is.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Go on, then. I'll be the sacrificial lamb. Kevin.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Kevin, said with certain conviction.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11So, Laura from the Omelette Makers versus Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Laura, on Film & TV, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Can I go first, please?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24And here is your first question.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28"Our survey says" is a well-known phrase from which game show?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Um... I've never seen Take Me Out.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38And I'm pretty sure it's Family Fortunes.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Family Fortunes is correct.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Kevin, who played the role of the grumpy weatherman Phil Connors
0:17:46 > 0:17:49in the 1993 film Groundhog Day?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Yes, very amusing film, that one.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56It was Bill Murray.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Bill Murray is quite right.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Laura, Toby Jones received a BAFTA nomination
0:18:03 > 0:18:05for playing the role of the real-life
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Stoke City kit man Neil Baldwin in which TV drama?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I've never heard of it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Um...
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Marvellous. Take a stab.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Yeah, Marvellous is right.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26And it was really good because he's got learning difficulties and
0:18:26 > 0:18:30he loves Stoke City and they put him in there and he's just an
0:18:30 > 0:18:31incredible inspiration.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Kevin, your question.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36The actor and comedian Richard Blackwood joined the cast of
0:18:36 > 0:18:38which TV soap opera in 2014?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Well, theoretically it could be any of them, I suppose.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47I have...
0:18:47 > 0:18:48a sort of instinct.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Though I've not been too infallible just recently. Um...
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I'll have to go for EastEnders, I think.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Eggheads, is he right? - Quite right, yes.- Yes, indeed.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Well done. 2-2. Back to you, Laura.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Who received an Oscar nomination for directing the film Boyhood?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12It's going to have to be a guess again.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'll go down the middle, Bennett Miller.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17David knows this. David?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- It's Linklater. - Richard Linklater is the answer.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22So, gives Kevin a chance here on the third question.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Kevin, who plays the role of the villainous Kylo Ren
0:19:26 > 0:19:30in the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Well, they're all in it, but the one who plays Kylo Ren is Adam Driver.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42If you're right, you're in the final.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Adam Driver is the right answer. Well done, Kevin. You've done it.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Three out of three. Sorry, Laura, beaten by our Egghead.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52But if you come back to us, we will play that final round for £6,000.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58it is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:19:58 > 0:19:59is General Knowledge.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02But, I'm afraid, those of you that lost your head-to-heads
0:20:02 > 0:20:04are not allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08So, Simon, Laura and Tom from the Omelette Makers,
0:20:08 > 0:20:09and also, Lisa from the Eggheads
0:20:09 > 0:20:11would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Graham and David, you are playing to win the Omelette Makers £6,000.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Kevin, Dave, Pat and Barry, you're playing for something
0:20:20 > 0:20:23that money can't really buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28this time they're all General Knowledge.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30You are allowed to confer.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32So, Graham and David, the question is,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35can your two brains take down these four?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37And would you like to go first or second?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39We'll go first, Jeremy.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Here's your first question. Good luck, Graham and David.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48The fictional characters called the Minions are well-known
0:20:48 > 0:20:51for their fondness for which type of fruit?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I don't really know this but I seem to remember they're
0:20:56 > 0:20:59sort of yellow and the adverts and always with bananas, so...
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Yeah, I must admit I can't, honestly...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- I know they're in Despicable Me. - Yeah.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06But I can't honestly say I've studied it in any depth.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- So, are we going bananas?- I think bananas is probably the best bet.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13We'll go with bananas. We'll go bananas!
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Bananas is the right answer. You've gone bananas very well.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Successfully. This lot went bananas
0:21:18 > 0:21:20a long time ago, didn't you? Here's your question.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Which of these machines were found in German Panzer divisions
0:21:24 > 0:21:25during World War II?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I think tanks, hey?- Tanks? - Tanks, yeah.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Panzer is the German word for armour, so it leads us to tanks.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Tanks is correct.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Challengers,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42in Norse mythology, who was the watchman of the gods
0:21:42 > 0:21:44who guarded the rainbow bridge to Earth?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Not Loki.- Loki's the son, obviously.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54It's one of the...
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I can't remember the other ones. I'd go for Balder, I think.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Cos I seem to remember there was a game called Baldur's Gate,
0:22:00 > 0:22:01- a video game.- A video game, yeah.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I don't know if that's related.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So, that's why I'd probably lean towards that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Well, you've convinced me.- Cool. - We'll go Balder.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Balder, OK. Eggheads, are they right?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- No.- ALL:- Heimdall.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Heimdall, born of nine mothers,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17it was said his hearing was so acute, he could hear grass growing.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Heimdall is the answer, Challengers. THEY SIGH
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I hope that's not an expensive error.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26So we go to the Eggheads for their second question.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29In 2011, who became the first woman to have
0:22:29 > 0:22:33a UK top ten album in five consecutive decades?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Right.- Ooh... Bit of a tough one, this.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48'10s, 2000s, '90s, '80s and '70s.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49I think it's Vera Lynn.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52My first thought was Vera Lynn and then I was thinking,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- could it be Kate Bush? - Cos she did have a number one album.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- She had a number one album then. - In 2011.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Kate Bush has had presumably some interregnum
0:22:59 > 0:23:01where she didn't have any.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02What do you think, Pat?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I know that Vera Lynn has set various records.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08She does pop up when you look at these records.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11It does seem rather odd, though.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12That's starting with the '70s.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Vera Lynn's been around a lot longer.- Yeah, a lot longer.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19'70s, '80s...
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Vera Lynn certainly had a number one hit.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- It said top ten, didn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30We've not discussed Annie Lennox at all.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32No, but I don't think she was solo from the '70s.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- It seems unlikely to me, but that may be wrong.- Mm.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40So what's the consensus? Shall we put it to the vote?
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Yeah.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43OK. I'm going to go for Vera Lynn.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Yeah, I'll go Vera Lynn.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46I don't...
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I've got my misgivings about Kate Bush.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Yeah, I've got my misgivings.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52But on balance, Vera Lynn.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Vera Lynn.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56OK. Happy? OK.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Well, we have deep misgivings about this answer as we could
0:23:59 > 0:24:03argue a reasonable case for both Kate Bush and Vera Lynn.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05But on balance, we're going to go for Vera Lynn.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- The answer is Kate Bush.- Ah.- Oh.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Kate Bush. All right. So...
0:24:09 > 0:24:11HE LAUGHS
0:24:11 > 0:24:13..that doesn't happen very often.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16As soon as you get a flat tyre, they get one as well.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Here's your third question. Get this right.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23The British wrestler born William George Matthews and often
0:24:23 > 0:24:27billed as The Man You Love To Hate was better known by what name?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I don't know that Catweazle was The Man You Love To Hate?
0:24:34 > 0:24:35I thought Mick McManus.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I thought McManus was always the one you want to hate.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- I seem to remember my gran hating him.- Yeah.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42So, you think we'll go for Mick McManus?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- I think go for Mick McManus. - We'll go for Mick McManus.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Very good. Mick McManus is correct. You made swift work of that.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Third question to the Eggheads.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Which poet born in 1894 wrote these lines -
0:24:55 > 0:25:00"and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
0:25:00 > 0:25:03"i carry your heart i carry it in my heart"?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It's too late for Emily Dickinson.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Can I ask a question?- Yes.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Is the quotation entirely in lower case?
0:25:14 > 0:25:15It is in lower case entirely.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Well, I was thinking 1894...- Well, that's ee cummings, isn't it?
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Frost was... Yeah, I was doing it on the dates.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I'm pretty sure cummings is 1894.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27And Frost...
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- ..was later. He's not 1894.- OK.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35And it's much too late... Emily Dickinson was already dead.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Yeah, OK.- So, it's cummings.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- OK.- OK.- Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Well, I think the clue here is that it was written in lower case
0:25:42 > 0:25:45and ee cummings is the poet who famously wrote everything
0:25:45 > 0:25:46in lower case.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49So, on that basis, we're going for ee cummings.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52ee cummings is the right answer.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53OK, so, equal
0:25:53 > 0:25:56after three questions. We go to Sudden Death.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03In 2015, which actress starred in the title role of
0:26:03 > 0:26:07a London revival of the stage musical Funny Girl?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Any thoughts?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10It doesn't ring any bells at all.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Nothing for me either.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- HE SIGHS - Funny Girl.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Do you know the original to work out how old the character would be?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Funny Girl was...
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Was it Barbra Streisand who was in Funny Girl?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33So, who would it...? It's got to be someone...
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- ..who can sing as well as act.- Yes.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Jane Horrocks or someone like that?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- I can't really see her in it.- No.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I'm sure we would have heard it if it had been someone like that.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Who's been in the West End recently? Someone like Gillian Anderson maybe?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Oh, yeah. - She's done a couple of shows.- Yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58- Working with that?- Gillian Anderson.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Yeah, Gillian Anderson. - Gillian Anderson, we'll go for.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Gillian Anderson. Eggheads, are they right?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I think that was the very versatile Sheridan Smith.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Yes, the answer is Sheridan Smith. Kevin is absolutely right.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Ah, yes.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16So, that gives the Eggheads a chance.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Which man co-created and co-wrote
0:27:18 > 0:27:21many of the episodes for the TV sitcoms
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Are You Being Served? and 'Allo 'Allo!
0:27:23 > 0:27:27in collaboration with Jeremy Lloyd?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- David Croft.- David Croft, isn't it? It's David Croft.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd, yeah.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Go David Croft?- David Croft.- Yep.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36I think we're on safer ground here now.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39We believe that was David Croft.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Good team you've been playing, for sure,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43but you have won, Eggheads.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47David Croft is the answer. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55If only you'd said Heimdall.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58You'd have £6,000. I shouldn't even remind you of that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02That's the way it crumbles around here. Commiserations.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04You got out your whisks and your spatulas
0:28:04 > 0:28:06and you really set about those eggs.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09But you didn't quite break enough of them, Omelette Makers, I'm afraid.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11They've done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15They had a little bit of a skid and a stumble there on Kate Bush.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17But the winning streak continues.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20And I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the 6,000,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23so, the money rolls over to our next show. Eggheads, well done.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Very good to watch you at the moment, actually.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26I wonder who will beat you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:29 > 0:28:30have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33£7,000 says they don't. What excitement.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34Until then, goodbye.
