0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads. Can you be beaten?
0:00:32 > 0:00:33- Yes.- Yes.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37- But we will try not to be.- And have been.- Not often, that's for sure.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Taking an our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are Pam's People from West Sussex. Now, this group of friends
0:00:42 > 0:00:44met through an over-50s group
0:00:44 > 0:00:47at their local leisure centre in Haywards Heath,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and have been quizzing together and against each other
0:00:49 > 0:00:51for the last ten years.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Pam and I'm a retired office manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Mel and I'm a retired bank manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Michael, I'm a retired personnel manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Derek, I'm a retired wine merchant.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Mike and I am a retired finance manager.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- So, Pam and team, welcome. - Thank you.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Thank you for coming in and taking this lot on.- Looking forward to it.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Good, OK, well, that's a very good attitude.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19And you normally have rackets with you when you meet each other.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Is that right?- Absolutely, yes.- Is that squash or tennis or what?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Tennis and badminton and short tennis
0:01:24 > 0:01:25and table tennis, some of us play.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And as well as the badminton and the tennis, it's also quizzing.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30It is also quizzing, yes.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I think Mel and Michael will do the quiz more regularly
0:01:33 > 0:01:34than the rest of us.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36We'll be dipping in and out of each other's teams
0:01:36 > 0:01:38at different quizzes that come along.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Have you got a battle plan for today?- Yes. We just hope it works.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43All right, good luck with it.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:45 > 0:01:47up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So, Pam's People, they've actually done rather well recently.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56That's why they're sort of swaggering a bit.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58They've won the last eight.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01So, it means there's £9,000 to play for.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Who wants History?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- It'll be Mike. - Mike at the end, OK.- Yes, please.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Mike, against which Egghead? You could have any one of them.- Right.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14I'd like to challenge Dave, please.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18OK, so Tremendous Knowledge Dave, I'm sensing a battle plan here.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22So, Mike from Pam's People versus Dave on History.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Please go to the Question Room now.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28So, on History, Mike, against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Here we go.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Edward The Confessor died in which year?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48He died...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50..in 1066.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Yes, he did. 1066 is right, well done, Mike.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Dave, your question.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The 1415 Battle of Agincourt took place in which country?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Took place in France.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05France is right.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07It may get harder, Mike. Here we go.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Which of these men became US president in the 1940s?
0:03:16 > 0:03:21In the 1940s, I'd go for...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Yes, Dwight was in the '50s.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I'd go for Harry S Truman.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Harry S Truman is the right one, well done.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31OK, Dave.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Who was monarch of England when Louis XIV became King of France?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45It's either Elizabeth or Charles, and I can't remember which one.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Er, I've got to go for Charles I.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Charles I is the right answer.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Oh!
0:03:54 > 0:03:56So close to getting an advantage there, Mike.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Try and get this one right, put the pressure on.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04In 1911, the first escalators on the London Underground
0:04:04 > 0:04:06were installed at which station?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Right.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I don't know the answer to this, it will have to be a guess,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19and I will go for Bond Street.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Is he right, Eggheads?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21- No.- It was Earl's Court.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Earl's Court is the answer.- Ah.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26I don't know why.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Was that there earlier?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Well, it was the interchange between the Great Northern,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Piccadilly and Brompton and the District Railway.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And it was just put in, really, as a demonstration,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38to prove that escalators were a practical proposition.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40It wasn't because it was a particularly deep shaft.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42And for the first few days of operation,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45they actually employed a man with one leg called Bumper Harris,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47just to ride up and down on the escalator
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- just to show people it safe to ride on.- Is that right? Amazing.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52So, now a possibility for Dave.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Get this right, you're in the final, Dave.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59In 1955, the embalmed body of Argentina's Eva Peron
0:04:59 > 0:05:03was stolen and secreted for several years in which country?
0:05:07 > 0:05:13One of those countries came into my head before the options came up.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15So, I'm going to go for it. I'm going to go Italy.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Dave, well done, you've got it right. Three out of three.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I'm sorry, Mike, you've been knocked out there by our Egghead and,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23as a result, will not be able to help your team
0:05:23 > 0:05:24in the final round.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Do, both of you, please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Well, as always, Chris, you were bang on with your train facts.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- William Bumper Harris, it was. - Yeah, that's the fellow.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37The man with one leg who was used to test the escalators.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- The stuff we learn here! - We do.- It's amazing.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Wish we'd known it before.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45So, Pam's People have lost one brain from the final round,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47the Eggheads have not lost any. Dave is in the final,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49and the next subject for you is Film and TV.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Who would like this?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- THEY LAUGH - I think that might be me.- Oh, Pam?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Yes.- All right, against which Egghead? It can't be Dave.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- I think I'll go for Judith. - Yeah, why not? Many do.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Pam from Pam's People versus Judith from Judith's People,
0:06:05 > 0:06:06I guess, sometimes.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08No, from the Eggheads, OK.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10To ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16So, Film and TV, Pam, is this your thing?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Not really, no, but I'll do my best.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20So, Pam, would you like to go first or second?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'd like to go first, please.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27First question, Pam, here we go.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Cathy Gale and Emma Peel were characters in which TV series?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Ah, this is one I actually remember. It's The Avengers.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It is indeed.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43OK, Judith.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Who created and wrote the sitcom Last Of The Summer Wine?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Gosh, I don't know that. I...
0:06:56 > 0:06:58David Renwick.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Eggheads, is it David Renwick?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01No, Roy Clarke.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Roy Clarke, and who was David Renwick?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04One Foot In The Grave.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05One Foot In The Grave, Judith.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Oh, Well, I knew he was a writer.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Yeah, Roy Clarke is the answer.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Pam, what is the subtitle of the first Star Wars film,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17originally released in 1977?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Now, this I don't know, I've not seen any of these Star War films.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I don't think it's The Force Awakens.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Erm, I'm going to go for The Phantom Menace.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38OK, have you seen them, Judith?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well, I thought it might be The Force Awakens.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43No, it's neither, it's A New Hope.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Oh!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47So, Judith, your question now.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53Ron Howard won an Academy award for Best Director for which film?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I don't think The Da Vinci Code won any awards, did it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I think it's A Beautiful Mind.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06A Beautiful Mind is your answer.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07- Are these all Ron Howard films?- Yes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Oh, they're all his films. - Are they? Oh, dear.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Yes, but you got it right, well done.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Phew, that was lucky.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15So, Eggheads - one, Challengers - one,
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Pam, back to you.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Who provided the voice for Dobby, the house elf
0:08:19 > 0:08:23in the 2002 film Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I don't think it's Martin Freeman.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33And I don't think it's David Tennant.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34I think that's Toby Jones.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- You're absolutely right.- Hooray.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Judith.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39To stay in.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Which American teen drama series featured
0:08:42 > 0:08:45the characters Seth Cohen, Ryan Atwood and Summer Roberts?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I, I don't know because I don't think I've seen any of those.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56But I have a feeling it might be The OC.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58The OC is right.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Level after three questions.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03And we go now to Sudden Death.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Pam, it gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.- OK.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09In the 1984 episode of The Young Ones
0:09:09 > 0:09:13in which the boys took part in University Challenge,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16what was the name of their fictional college?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Oxbridge.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24No, it was Scumbag College.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Didn't know that.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Quite a long way from Oxbridge.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29OK, Judith.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Which actor appears in both X-Men Origins: Wolverine
0:09:33 > 0:09:35and X-Men: First Class?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I don't know, sorry. Pass.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- You don't want to take a stab at it? - No, just let's get on.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Hugh Jackman.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Pam.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51The former Hear'Say singer Suzanne Shaw
0:09:51 > 0:09:56played Edna Birch's granddaughter Eve in which TV soap?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Coronation Street.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59No, Emmerdale.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Judith, which actor,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04born in 1974, starred as J Edgar Hoover
0:10:04 > 0:10:10in the 2011 film J Edgar, directed by Clint Eastwood?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I think it was Leonardo DiCaprio.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Leonardo DiCaprio is the right answer.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Judith, you've taken the round, you are in the final.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Pam, sorry, you've been knocked out on Sudden Death.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Come back to us and we'll play the next round.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25So, Pam's People have lost two brains now from the final round
0:10:25 > 0:10:27while the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29The next subject is Science.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Who would like Science? - That is...
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- Is that me?- No, that's me. Yeah, that's me, Jeremy.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38OK, against who, Mel?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I'll take Chris, please.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Good stuff, so Mel from Pam's People versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Please go to the Question Room.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Science, Mel. First or second?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50First, please.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55So, here is your question, Mel.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56In degrees Celsius,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00what is the average normal body temperature for an adult?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08It's 98.4 for Fahrenheit, so it's converting that, so...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'll go for 37.
0:11:12 > 0:11:1337 is quite right.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Always looks very hot to me, I must say.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18If you're in a hot summer's day and it's 37 degrees,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20you're going to be piping.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Chris,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25which part of the body is most affected by the condition rickets?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Ah, Vitamin D deficiency, it's the bones.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It is the bones, well done.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Back to you, Mel.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39The ozone layer is approximately how many kilometres
0:11:39 > 0:11:40above the Earth's surface?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47I'll go for the 300.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50300...
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Let's see, Chris, do you know?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55It's pretty high up. 300km is...
0:11:56 > 0:12:00..160-odd miles, that seems a bit high for me, I'll go for 30.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Yeah, 30's the right answer.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04All right, Chris, your question.
0:12:04 > 0:12:10Which of these is at seven on the Mohs scale of hardness?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Well, diamond is ten, corundum's nine, it's got to be quartz.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Oh, that's good, you're absolutely right.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- What would zero or one be? What would one be?- Talc.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Talc?- Hmm.- OK, thank you.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29New information coming in, that's useful, isn't it?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31So, Mel, you need to get this one right.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35What is the next number after 3.14
0:12:35 > 0:12:37in the mathematical constant known as pi?
0:12:40 > 0:12:46Well, I thought it was 3.142 but I suppose recurring.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Erm, I'll go for the 3.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Well, I just remember, at school, my calculator,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57if I pressed pi, it said 3.1415926.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00The answer is 3.141,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02so we have to say, Chris,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04you're in the final round. No way back for Mel.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Return to your teams and we will play one more round
0:13:08 > 0:13:09before that final.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14As it stands, Pam's People have lost three brains from the final round
0:13:14 > 0:13:15while the Eggheads haven't lost any.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Last subject before the final and it's Sport.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Who wants this?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- It's Michael or Derek. - I think I'll take that one.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Derek, OK. Which Egghead? You can have either Barry or Kevin?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I think, on balance,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32we'll probably go for Barry.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33- Yes, I'll try Barry.- OK.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36There is no avoiding Kevin at some point but point taken.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Derek from Pam's People versus Barry, who loves a run out,
0:13:39 > 0:13:40from the Eggheads.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the special room now.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Derek, you're a retired wine merchant.- Yes, that's correct.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'm guessing you were waiting for Food and Drink to come up.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57I was and had it come up, I think I would have taken on Kevin.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00But as it didn't, things are what they are.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03They are what they are and let's hope you can turn it around.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06But even if you're knocked out, there's still hope for your team.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Would you like to go first or second on Sport?
0:14:08 > 0:14:09I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15OK, here is your first question, Derek. Good luck.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19In boxing, a rabbit punch is an illegal blow
0:14:19 > 0:14:21delivered to which part of the body?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Well, it's not groin, of course,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32because that would be illegal and below the belt.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35A punch to the heart is perfectly legal,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37so it has to be to the back of the head.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Back of the head is quite right.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Barry,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44who won the 2015 BBC Sports Personality Of The Year award?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Ah, it could only be Andy Murray.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Andy Murray is quite right.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54And totally deserved too.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57OK, Derek.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00How long does the afternoon tea interval usually last
0:15:00 > 0:15:02in a game of test match cricket?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Well, five minutes wouldn't give them a great deal of time
0:15:11 > 0:15:14to drink their tea.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I think 40 minutes is nearer the luncheon interval,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20so I would have to go with 20 minutes.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Yes, 20 minutes is quite right.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24So you've got two, Barry's got one. Barry, to catch up,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27what was the distance of Jonathan Edwards's
0:15:27 > 0:15:32world record-breaking triple jump in Gothenburg in 1995?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Oh, gosh.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Just doing some quick calculations in my head.
0:15:44 > 0:15:4823.29 and 28.29 sound much too long.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- I'm going for 18.29.- 18.29...
0:15:52 > 0:15:53..is correct.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Still a long way.- Indeed.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57So, two each. Derek, back to you.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01The footballer Zinedine Zidane played for which Italian club
0:16:01 > 0:16:04from 1996 to 2001?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'm not absolutely sure of this.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I think I'll discount Sampdoria and I don't remember him
0:16:13 > 0:16:16in the blue and black of Inter Milan,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18so I will actually say Juventus.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I think I've seen him in the black and white of Juventus.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Yeah, he has indeed played for that team.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Juventus is right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Barry?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29This to stay in.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Which PGA golfer is most associated with the nickname The Grinder?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40I don't think it's Tom Lehman.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I've got a vague bell ringing at the back of my mind that says
0:16:44 > 0:16:47it's Jim Furyk and that's all I've got to go for,
0:16:47 > 0:16:48so I'll go for Jim Furyk.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Jim Furyk is correct.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53So, a tight round, three points for each of you on Sport.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Well done to you both.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Derek, we go to Sudden Death and I don't give you alternatives.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02In golf, a double bogey is a score
0:17:02 > 0:17:05of how many shots over par on a whole?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09A double bogey would be two shots over par.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Two is correct.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Barry, to stay in.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18Which South African-born England cricketer scored 355 not out
0:17:18 > 0:17:22for Surrey in a 2015 County Championship match?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27South African-born England cricketer. Kevin Pietersen.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Kevin Pietersen is quite right.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Derek.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Louis Smith won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympic Games
0:17:34 > 0:17:36on which piece of gymnastic apparatus?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I think that was the pommel horse.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Pommel horse is correct.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Good for you!
0:17:44 > 0:17:46OK, Barry, to stay in.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48In which country in the South Pacific
0:17:48 > 0:17:53was the All-Black rugby union player Joe Rokocoko born?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I don't know, but let's see what there is.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58There's Samoa, Fiji or Tonga.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01It's very likely to be one of those three.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Sounds vaguely Samoan, that name, so I will go for Samoa.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Any Eggheads know?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It sounds more Fijian to me, but...
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Fiji is the answer, Barry.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14You've been knocked out.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Well done, Derek. Turning the tide here.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19You took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant,
0:18:19 > 0:18:20so you'll be in the final.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And if you both come back to us, we will play that round.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:18:29 > 0:18:30is General Knowledge.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:18:32 > 0:18:34can't take part in this round,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37which is Pam, Mel and Mike from Pam's People,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39but also Barry from the Eggheads.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Would you please now leave the studio?
0:18:43 > 0:18:48Michael and Derek, you're playing to win Pam's People £9,000.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Here we go, guys.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Chris, Judith, Kevin and Dave,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:18:54 > 0:18:58A, the Eggheads' reputation and B, to turn this streak into a roll.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05This time, they're all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06So, Pam's People,
0:19:06 > 0:19:10the question is - can your two brains take down these four?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12And would you like to go first or second?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13I think we'll go first, please.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19OK, Michael and Derek, good luck to you.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Which of these bears has a particular penchant
0:19:22 > 0:19:24for marmalade sandwiches?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Yeah, it's Paddington. - We're just going to...
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I think it's Paddington. I think we'll go Paddington.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Paddington, please.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Paddington is the right answer.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Eggheads.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42For what does the letter K stand
0:19:42 > 0:19:46in the internet chat abbreviation AFAIK?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Capital letters, A-F-A-I-K.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- Yeah, you're right, Chris. - As far as I know.- That's right.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00We think the full thing stands for
0:20:00 > 0:20:02as far as I know,
0:20:02 > 0:20:03so it would be know.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Know is right. Well done, Eggs.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Your question, Challengers.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth originated the lead roles
0:20:13 > 0:20:18in which musical when it opened on Broadway in 2003?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- I'm pretty sure... Well, Chess is earlier.- Right.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Idina Menzel does a really good version of that song in Wicked,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- I think, so it's probably Wicked. - It's probably Wicked.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Which is about that era.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39With a little bit of caution, we're going for Wicked, please, Jeremy.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41You're absolutely right. Well done.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Eggheads, your question to catch up.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47What is the name of the local Ambridge pub in The Archers?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53The Bull! The Bull!
0:20:53 > 0:20:541951, near The Bull.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56That is The Bull.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58The Bull is right. You listen, Judith?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Yes, love The Archers.- Do you?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02So, you're equal.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I'm sorry you haven't shaken them off yet, but we're playing
0:21:05 > 0:21:06for 9,000, hold focus here.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09If you get this right, you may not have to do any more.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Which Shakespeare play opens with the line,
0:21:12 > 0:21:16"In delivering my son from me, I bury a second husband"?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- My first thought is... - It's not The Taming Of The Shrew.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30It's not The Taming Of The Shrew, so it's the other two.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32So, what are the themes in both?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36I think they both wind up with lost children.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42If I had to choose, I would probably go All's Well That Ends Well.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46But I... It would be a guess.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50OK, we're struggling between the two, but we'll go with All's Well.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51That Ends Well.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52All's Well That Ends Well.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Let's just see if the Eggheads know. Do you know this?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- It is.- It is! You got it right. - Well, thank you.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58All's Well That Ends Well.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00OK, no more could be expected of you.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03My goodness, I bet your team-mates at the back are thrilled
0:22:03 > 0:22:04you got three out of three.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08And that, for some other teams, has been enough to win the jackpot.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Let's see. Here's your question.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16Which character from a Puccini opera sings the aria O Mio Babbino Caro?
0:22:20 > 0:22:25It's Lauretta. Yes, Cio-Cio-San is from...
0:22:25 > 0:22:26..Madame Butterfly
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and Mimi is from La Boheme, so it's Lauretta.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34That's right. OK.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36The work concerned is Gianni Schicchi,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38which is one of three mini operas
0:22:38 > 0:22:40which form a trilogy,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42if you like, called Il Trittico.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44And the character is Lauretta.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Lauretta is correct.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49OK, so we go to Sudden Death.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50£9,000 to play for.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Gentlemen, your question.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Which noted historian and broadcaster, born to Quaker parents
0:22:58 > 0:23:03in 1945, has been referred to in the press as the rudest man in Britain?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I can actually picture him.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Historian and broadcaster.- Yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13- David Starkey.- It's...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16David Starkey.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18David Starkey is the right answer.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22You would have been so cross if you got that wrong.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24He would have been too.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26OK, to stay in.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Which Scottish American computer programmer,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32best known for creating antivirus software,
0:23:32 > 0:23:37went on the run from authorities in Central America in 2012?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I saw the story, but I've forgotten his name.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Is it McAfee? McAfee. - Oh, Robert McAfee?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Because McAfee is software, isn't it?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- What is he called?- It's McAfee.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52This antivirus software, I think it's pronounced macker-fee.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Oh, McAfee?- Yes.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I don't know his surname, Christian name.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59No, another thing, you got Robert straightaway in your head.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I may have said Robert because...
0:24:02 > 0:24:06You know, recently, there's been this true crime thing on TV
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- about Robert Durst.- Yeah, all right.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Because I was maybe starting to say Robert Durst.- Yes.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I think that's probably what happened.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21OK, fine, so we'll get back to square one with this.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Right, so I'm...
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- I, I don't know it.- I don't know the name.- I'm inclined...
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- I'm inclined to John. - John McAfee does ring vague bells.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Right, well, if it's ringing bells, that's all we've got.- Yeah.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Erm, we're reasonably sure that the surname is McAfee.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47One of the leading anti...security and anti-virus software people,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50but we've not really got any idea great as far as
0:24:50 > 0:24:51his first name is concerned.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53On balance, we'll go with John.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56John McAfee is your answer.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59And if you've got it wrong, they win £9,000.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- I don't know how you do it, it is John McAfee.- Brilliant, well done.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Right. Sudden Death, your question.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Which small mammal commonly found in Britain
0:25:09 > 0:25:12has the scientific name talpa europaea?
0:25:12 > 0:25:18Talpa, T-A-L-P-A, and europaea, E-U-R-O-P-A-E-A.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22- Small mammal?- Small mammal. - So, it's not going to be...
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- It's got to be... - Is it a mole, a vole?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Europaea suggests it's found in Europe as well.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- Do they find voles in Europe? - Probably.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Probably. Talpa...
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Not a hedgehog, is it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43That's a very good shout. Very good shout.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Right, what have we got? We've got vole, hedgehog, mole.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53If it were my shout, I'd probably go with hedgehog.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55You know, I don't...
0:25:55 > 0:25:59We have, as you may have gathered, very limited knowledge of
0:25:59 > 0:26:02small mammals commonly found in this country.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05But we're going to plump for hedgehogs.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Hedgehog, OK.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Let's see if the Eggheads know, are they right?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- Isn't it a mole?- Mole.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Oh, God.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14OK, Sudden Death, but you are not dead yet.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Eggheads, can finish the contest with this question.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20In the closing ceremony for the 2012 Olympics,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22who was the only male model
0:26:22 > 0:26:27alongside eight female fashion models that appeared on stage?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Male model? - I can't think of any male models.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Well, there's the underwear one, David Gandy, isn't there?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Only person I can think of. - Let's have a think. Why would he be?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Don't know any male models. - Fashion model, did he say?
0:26:41 > 0:26:45The only male model alongside eight female fashion models.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48And male.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It's not David Beckham, is it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:55- Hmm, well, the name Beckham, it's a shout.- It is a shout, yes.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56It is a shout.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I think, on balance, if we're...
0:27:00 > 0:27:04I mean, we could come up with Beckham or any number of people,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06couldn't we?
0:27:06 > 0:27:11As somebody just with modelling.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16But I, maybe we just have to take the implication that it is a model.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17A model.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- And which case, it would probably be David Gandy.- Mm-hm.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Otherwise it could be anybody. - Is everybody happy with that?- Yeah.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26OK?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Yeah, we don't know, we don't remember the thing.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33I think I saw the closing ceremony, but I have no memory of that at all.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37So, on the basis...
0:27:38 > 0:27:42..that it says male model, it could actually be anybody
0:27:42 > 0:27:46but on the basis it says male model, we'll go for the best-known
0:27:46 > 0:27:49British male model that actually does that as a job,
0:27:49 > 0:27:50that's David Gandy.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Got to say, credit to the David here,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57because he's the one who brought the word McAfee to the last conversation
0:27:57 > 0:27:59and the first one to mention Gandy as well.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01David Gandy is the right answer.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.- Well played.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Well, they were backs to the wall there, I can tell you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16They were, my goodness, racking every brain cell.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21- But commiserations, they can do that.- Close but no cigar.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Sorry, Pam's People, the Eggheads have done what comes
0:28:23 > 0:28:26naturally to them and they had to struggle today,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28but the winning streak continues.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31And it does mean you won't be going home with the £9,000,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34so what we will do is roll that money over to our next show.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Eggheads, very well done, you played well today.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:39 > 0:28:41have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44We're going to be in five figures, £10,000 says they don't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Till then, phew! Goodbye.
