0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads. Are you learned today?
0:00:32 > 0:00:36- Almost learned, yeah. - That was a rather muted response.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Well, they might have to be,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41cos challenging our resident quiz champions today are...
0:00:42 > 0:00:44This team of friends from Oxford
0:00:44 > 0:00:48are all keen quizzers, attending as many as three pub quizzes a week.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm an administrator.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm John and I am a digital designer.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Simon and I work in publishing.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Paul and I'm an accountant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Kirsty and I work in publishing.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- So, Sarah and team, welcome. - Hi, Jeremy.- Thanks for coming.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10I guess you're learned cos I think Oxford University, brainboxes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Well, I didn't study at Oxford but it's a beautiful place to live,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- so we enjoy living there.- OK, and you quiz together, crucially.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21So, four of us quiz together regularly as Queen Equizabeth I,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24and then John is the quiz master at one of the quizzes we do,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28so we thought Equizabethans covered the people in the team
0:01:28 > 0:01:30and John being our quiz master for one of our quizzes.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I love the name. We have lots of names here
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- and Equizabethans is one of the best, isn't it, Eggheads?- Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39And it does also give a sense of your historical knowledge, as well.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Every day there is £1,000-worth of cash
0:01:41 > 0:01:42up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50So, Equizabethans, the Eggheads lost a game, fairly tragically,
0:01:50 > 0:01:56and then the next game back, to say you won it, is an exaggeration.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58You basically didn't come second.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02It means that £2,000 is on the table today to say you can't beat them.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Good luck. Would you like to start? - Yeah.- Why not?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- We would, yes.- As you're here.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09The first head-to-head battle is on Geography.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Who would like this? - OK, I think that's me.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Sarah?- Yeah.- OK. Against which Egghead?
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Um, I think I'm going to choose Lisa, if that's OK.- Yeah, OK.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- You're originally from Australia? - I am, yes.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Oh, no. What?! - LAUGHTER
0:02:24 > 0:02:26What is this? This is a conspiracy now!
0:02:26 > 0:02:30So, Sarah from The Equizabethans versus Lisa, who has now, I think,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33a map of Australia on your bedroom wall, is it, or something?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37This is how bad it is. My mum gave me a map of Australia for Christmas!
0:02:37 > 0:02:41There we are. We'll see if she's got it out and up on the wall yet.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43To endure there's no conferring,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45please go to our special Question Room now.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48You've got both sides of the world covered, Sarah,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50with your Australian background,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- so would you like to go first or second on Geography?- First, please.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Here we go. Good luck. Which is China's longest river?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07OK, I don't know this.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Um, I don't think it's the Mekong,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14cos I think that's through Vietnam and Cambodia and down there.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I think the Yangtze and the Yellow River are both in China,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20but I don't know which one's longer.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I think I'm just going to have to guess one of them
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and I'm going to guess the Yangtze.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I'm glad you did. It's right. Well done. Lisa.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Which South American country is bordered by Argentina to the east
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and Peru and Bolivia to the north?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh, that makes it a little easier. It's Chile.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Chile is right.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Here we go, Sarah.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50What is the approximate population of Turkey?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I have no idea. Um...
0:03:59 > 0:04:02No idea at all. Um, let me think.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06The UK is about 60-something.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Trying to just get any sense
0:04:08 > 0:04:12of whether I think Turkey is bigger or smaller
0:04:12 > 0:04:13or about the same size as the UK.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Um, I really don't know. It's going to be a complete guess.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I'm going to go for 80 million.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Yes, it is a bit bigger than the UK, population-wise,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- so you're right - 80 million it is. - Cool.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Lisa, to catch up.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Zermatt or ZERmatt with a Z is a popular ski resort in which country?
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Ai! First thought was Switzerland. It could be Austria.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44No, I'll got for Switzerland.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- They like their zeds, don't they? - They're quite fond of them.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Switzerland is right, so you're equal.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Let's see if The Equizabethans can take the lead here.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58What colour is the background on the national flag of Tunisia?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03OK, well, my team were probably smiling
0:05:03 > 0:05:05because they know that I quite like flags,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07so I should be able to get this
0:05:07 > 0:05:11but, it's not... Again, it's not leaping out at me.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I don't think it's blue.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18I have a feeling there might be a crescent moon or something
0:05:18 > 0:05:21on the flag of Tunisia.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I'm going to go for green, Jeremy.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I must admit, I like flags too, and I would have gone for green,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29but let's just check the Eggheads. Is she right?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- It's red.- Oh, red.- Mmm-hmm.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- But then, what's the crescent? - It's a red background.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40In the centre, there's a white background disc,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42containing, within it, a red crescent.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47OK, so Kevin says red background, white disc in the centre
0:05:47 > 0:05:50containing the crescent you remembered, but no green.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53And a red star, by the way, as well. So, red was the answer.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Lisa has a chance to take the round on Geography.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Maybe we'll fill this mug up with champagne.- Please do!
0:05:59 > 0:06:05The former royal residence Frogmore House is located in which county?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I think I'm going to kick myself very hard...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14..on this one, because I'm sure I've heard of it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19It sort of sounds to me like a Berkshire name
0:06:19 > 0:06:21more than a Kent name or a Norfolk name.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Not that that's a guarantee.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30No, I mean, I don't know if thinking about this is going to get me
0:06:30 > 0:06:34any closer to it, to be honest. I will try Berkshire.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Is she right, Eggs?- Yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Yes, they all say. Berkshire is correct.- Yay!
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Sorry, Sarah. Knocked out there, but early days for your team.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Rejoin us, please. We'll play on.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Lisa, actually, you will be delighted to know
0:06:50 > 0:06:52that you have won your last eight Geography rounds.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Well, thank you very much.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58So, the idea that it's all panic and Australia, actually...
0:06:58 > 0:07:02All Panic And Australia is now the title of my memoir.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Yeah, well, it misled us completely.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09She's been playing an absolute blinder without us realising.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12OK, so... I'm going to say this again and again - "Elizabethans".
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Equizabethans have lost one brain from the final round -
0:07:15 > 0:07:18their captain. The Eggheads are still all sitting there,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21although they need a bit of stabilisation after their last game.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Who would like this? - That's me.- Simon, you're on.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Simon, who works in publishing - that's handy. Against which Egghead?
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- I think Barry.- Barry, let's do it. - Good for you, Simon.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39OK, Simon from The Equizabethans versus Barry, known as The Brain.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Arts & Books - right up your street. I know you went Oxford University,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- and would you like to go first or second?- I will go first, please.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56OK, Simon, my money's on you here, but let's see.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Barry's a very good player.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Botticelli's The Birth Of Venus was painted in which century?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I have to admit that I was rather hoping that dates of things
0:08:08 > 0:08:11wouldn't come up, because I was learning names and titles.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Um, well, 13th seems very early.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm just going to go down the middle,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23for want of any knowledge on the topic, and say 15th.
0:08:23 > 0:08:2715th is correct. Well done.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Before the Renaissance then, Barry, is that right?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Ooh, no, right in the middle of the Renaissance.- Part of it.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- I always think Renaissance is 1500s but it's 1400s.- Mmm-hmm.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Here's your question.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39The cities referred to in the title of the Dickens novel
0:08:39 > 0:08:42A Tale Of Two Cities are Paris and which other?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Well, certainly the most virtuous city of those three is London.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53London is correct. Here's your question, Simon.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Which science fiction book by Andy Weir
0:08:57 > 0:09:00was adapted into a Hollywood movie starring Matt Damon?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I'm pretty sure that that is The Martian.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It is The Martian. Have you seen that?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I haven't seen it or read it but I saw the posters everywhere.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm just thinking that Matt Damon was in Interstellar,
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- wasn't he, Eggs?- And Elysium. - And Elysium?- He's in all of them.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22He's in all of them, so you did well there, Simon.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- You knew that, of course. - Um, yeah, let's say I knew it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Barry, to catch up.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31How many of William Shakespeare's plays feature
0:09:31 > 0:09:33characters' names in their titles?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Oh, my goodness me.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43All right, let's have a try here.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47King Lear, Hamlet,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Antony and Cleopatra,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Troilus and Cressida,
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Timon of Athens is five. Er...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Oh, then there's all the historical ones.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I think it's going to be more than...
0:10:02 > 0:10:06A rough count tells me it's going to be more than 13 and less than 23.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I'll go down the middle at 18.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- You got it wrong. It's 23.- Oh!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- You won't forget that.- I won't.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16OK, Simon, this for the round.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20"How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth
0:10:20 > 0:10:23"Stol'n on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!"
0:10:23 > 0:10:27are the opening lines to a poem by which writer?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Let me see. Well...
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I know Keats died young, but he probably didn't know that himself
0:10:36 > 0:10:39at the time he was writing his poems, so...
0:10:39 > 0:10:42I know that Donne was quite a tearaway in his youth
0:10:42 > 0:10:46and became much more sort of reverent -
0:10:46 > 0:10:48well, literally reverent in his older years.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Um, it sounds like the sort of lament
0:10:51 > 0:10:54that Donne might have turned to in his later poetry,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- so I'm going to say John Donne. - Barry, do you know this?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I don't, but I would have gone for John Donne,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- by the sound of the language he expressed.- Yeah, I would, too.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- I love poetry and I've never read this, and it is John Milton.- Ah.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10It is, and I guess his Paradise Lost and Regained
0:11:10 > 0:11:12has overshadowed everything else.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Barry, Marlon James's award-winning novel
0:11:15 > 0:11:18A Brief History Of Seven Killings tells the story
0:11:18 > 0:11:21of the attempted assassination of which figure?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Oh, goodness me.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32A Brief History Of Seven Killings...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, I'll discount Bob Marley straightaway,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39cos I don't think anybody else was involved in that.
0:11:39 > 0:11:45Martin Luther King - the killing was by James Earl Ray.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49But it could be...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51There could be seven killings around there
0:11:51 > 0:11:56because, at the time of Martin Luther King's great marches,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59there were many freedom fighters who were killed.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01But then Malcolm X as well.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05There might well have been more people killed around HIM.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Without anything to go on, I'm going to go for Martin Luther King.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- If you've got this wrong, you're out, Barry.- Mmm-hmm.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Still not quite back on track after the last game, I don't think.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- It's Bob Marley.- Ah! - So, you have been knocked out again.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Simon, you're in the final round. Well done.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Maybe things are on the turn for our Equizabethans.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Please come back to us, both of you, and we'll see what happens next.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Good game. As it stands,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36The Equizabethans have lost a brain from the final round,
0:12:36 > 0:12:37but they've now taken out an Egghead,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40so they've lost Barry on that side, which can be painful.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42The next subject is Music.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Oh, I reckon this is good for you.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- It's not!- Oh, dear.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- It was going to be Music for me and Simon, so that's not great.- I see.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- Who's third choice for Music? - Who are we going to go for?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I think we're both equally terrible at Music, aren't we?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Do I have more of the remaining subjects covered?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- Do you mind doing it, Kirsty?- No. - Sorry.- I'll give it a go.- Kirsty?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Thank you.- OK.- Thank you, Kirsty.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Kirsty, choose an Egghead before you go. Anyone but Barry or Lisa.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17- Maybe Chris?- Sure.- Yeah?- Yeah. - Chris it is. Go on, Kirsty.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- That'll get him up and bouncing, won't it?- Boing!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Yeah, straight out of bed.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25OK, Kirsty, for The Equizabethans, Chris for the Eggheads, on Music.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Please go to our Question Room.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Kirsty, you work in publishing for Oxford Dictionaries.- Um, yes.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36So are you anywhere near the people who decide what the new words are?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39No, I'm in the marketing department, so we hear about the new words.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43It comes up all the time in quizzes. What did we have the other day?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Was it "box set bingeing" as a new phrase?- Yeah.- "Binge watching".
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Any favourites that you have, Kirsty?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I've recently been reading a lot of old words
0:13:52 > 0:13:55that have gone into the dictionary, and I did come across "ridibund",
0:13:55 > 0:13:57which means "inclined to laughter", which is a really nice word.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Ridibund. Excellent. We might bring that on board.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Any words you particularly like, Chris,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- which are not in normal usage? - Oh, not really.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09A lot of the old Victorian-type words like "rambunctious"
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- and that sort of thing. - OK, so Music is the subject.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Kirsty, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Um, first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Good luck. On a standard piano, there are...
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Choose one answer.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36OK, um, I'm inclined to say more white keys than black keys
0:14:36 > 0:14:39because, um...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43..I've been trying to learn to play the piano
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and I feel like you don't come across a black key
0:14:46 > 0:14:48as often as you expect to.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52I'm going to say more white keys than black keys.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55OK, you're treading carefully there, I can sense, but you are right.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Well done.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I know in that room, it's very easy
0:14:58 > 0:15:02to get the simplest questions wrong, so I do understand that.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06More white keys than black keys is the correct answer. Chris.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Which of these characters appears in the stage musical Hairspray?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Did you say Hairspray, Jeremy? - Hairspray.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18That's Tracy Turnblad.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It is Tracy Turnblad. Eliza Doolittle is from...?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- My Fair Lady.- And Velma?- Chicago. - Yeah, Chicago. Kirsty.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29The Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33is known for his striking resemblance to which movie star?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Um, I don't know what he looks like
0:15:40 > 0:15:44and I'm not sure I know what most of those look like either,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48so...I'm going to guess Vince Vaughn.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52It's actually not Vince Vaughn. Let's see if your teammates know.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- ALL:- No idea. - Will Ferrell, apparently.- Oh.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Will Ferrell is the answer.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Chris, your question.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03The theme tune to which James Bond film was sung by Tom Jones?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Er, ba-ba-ba-ba... You Only Live Twice - that was Japanese.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I think OHMSS was We Have All The Time In The World, Louis Armstrong,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- so it's Thunderball with Tom Jones. - Yes, it is Thunderball.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Well done, Chris. He takes the lead, Kirsty. You need this one.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30After his death, which Puccini opera was completed by Franco Alfano?
0:16:37 > 0:16:42I've seen Madame Butterfly but I'm not sure who wrote it,
0:16:42 > 0:16:47but I think if he hadn't finished it, I might have heard of that.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Um, I'm going to go with La Boheme but it's a guess.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Barry will know this. Barry?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57They're all Puccini operas, but Alfano completed Turandot.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Because Madame Butterfly was done, and La Boheme, while he was alive.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Absolutely, yes.- Turandot is the answer, Kirsty, sorry.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Chris has taken the round.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- There we go, Chris. You'll be in the final.- Mmm.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Please come back to us, both of you.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12We'll play the last round before the final.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17So, Equizabethans have lost two brains from the final round.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18The Eggheads have lost just the one.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Your chance now to even things up, team. The next subject is Sport.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Ooh, I knew I'd get punished. - Poor John!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- It's me.- It's going to be John.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29OK, John, against which Egghead?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33We'll go for...Pat.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36John from The Equizabethans versus Pat from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Last round before the final. See if they can even it up.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Please go to the special room now.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- John, I gather Sport is not your thing.- It isn't, no.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- I know nothing whatsoever.- What did you study at Oxford University?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Chinese.- Ancient Chinese? - Mainly ancient Chinese, yeah.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- I'm sorry the Ancient Chinese round didn't come up!- I...I...
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Yeah, if there's a question on ancient Chinese sports,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- I'm might be able to do that. - Well, that IS possible, yeah.- OK.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04How about that, Pat?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I think on 1,500 episodes, we've never had someone
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- whose specialism is ancient Chinese, have we?- It's long overdue.- Yeah!
0:18:10 > 0:18:13So, Sport, John. Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I'd have less humiliation if I were to go second
0:18:16 > 0:18:19because I'd get knocked out quicker, but for comedy value, I'll go first.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26All right. Kasper Schmeichel, son of the former Manchester United
0:18:26 > 0:18:29and Denmark footballer Peter Schmeichel,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31usually plays in which position?
0:18:34 > 0:18:39I have never heard of him. I... Ooh...
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I have a vague feeling
0:18:42 > 0:18:44that Peter Schmeichel might have been a goalkeeper.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I don't know where I'm getting that from.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48So, if he's following in his father's football boots,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50that would make sense.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Peter Schmeichel...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Yeah, OK, we'll go with goalkeeper.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00That's a very good application of the inkling and logic.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- You are right.- Oh, wow! Excellent. - And everything you said was true.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11Pat, who captained the England test cricket team between 1993 and 1998?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I think Alastair Cook, most of his work was done
0:19:17 > 0:19:20in the 21st century, so I think I can remove him.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I think Botham's big years were in the '70s, weren't they?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Hmm, I need to make sure I've put Ian Botham in his right decade.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37I think his sensational performances were generally in the '70s.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I think I'm going to have to go for Mike Atherton.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Mike Atherton is correct.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46OK, John,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48use that brilliant little bit of inkling and logic,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50great brain of yours.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Anthony Joshua became the British heavyweight champion
0:19:54 > 0:19:58in December, 2015, after knocking out which boxer?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Anthony Joshua.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- This is in 2015, sorry?- Yes, it is.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10The only one I've heard of is David Haye.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14For some reason, I thought he wasn't active any more,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17but all of this knowledge, I'm entirely making up.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Um, I will go down the middle and I will choose Derek Chisora.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- I'm sorry. Dillian Whyte is the answer.- Damn it.- Bad luck.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Difficult, that.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I wouldn't have got it. Pat.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33The New Zealand rugby union player Dan Carter made his debut
0:20:33 > 0:20:36for which club in December, 2015?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Well, after a very distinguished All Black career,
0:20:46 > 0:20:51I think he retired at the World Cup in 2015
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and, having retired from international duties,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58he was then free to ply his trade outside of New Zealand,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01because I think they operate a fairly severe
0:21:01 > 0:21:04New Zealand-only selection policy.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06So, he took the opportunity, I think,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09to sign a very big contract with Racing 92.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You call it "Racing", I call it "Ra-cing" - doesn't matter,
0:21:12 > 0:21:17it's the right answer. Well done. So, he's ahead, John.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Unsurprisingly.- Pat, known as the "Silent Destroyer",
0:21:21 > 0:21:24and you need to get this one right.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Which basketball team won 33 consecutive games
0:21:27 > 0:21:30during the 1971/72 season,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33the longest undefeated streak in NBA history?
0:21:38 > 0:21:39OK...
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I'm thinking the LA Lakers are the more famous.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Maybe they're more famous because they've been more successful. Um...
0:21:48 > 0:21:51So, yeah, let's plump for the LA Lakers.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- You've got it right, John. - Yay!- Well done, John.- Well done.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58And not even any need for your knowledge of ancient Chinese.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Yet!
0:21:59 > 0:22:05So, if Pat gets this wrong, we go to Sudden Death, so stand by for that.
0:22:05 > 0:22:12Pat, Rob Gronkowski, born in 1989, is a famous name in which sport?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I think he's a... I'm not sure he's an out-and-out wide receiver,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23but he certainly catches the ball from Tom Brady.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25They're quite a formidable partnership,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27so it's American football.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29You've got all the facts there, haven't you?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Sorry, John, he's got it right. It is American football.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Well played, though,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- given that it's not your subject. - Thank you.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Did that with a lot of confidence.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Pat is in the final round. Come back to us and we will play that final.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48It is time for the final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:50 > 0:22:52won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55so Sarah, John and Kirsty from The Equizabethans,
0:22:55 > 0:22:59and Barry from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Here we are, Simon and Paul.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05You are playing to win The Equizabethans £2,000.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Lisa, Pat, Kevin and Chris,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11which is the Eggheads' precious reputation
0:23:11 > 0:23:13after it was bashed around a bit.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19You are allowed to confer.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21So, Equizabethans, the question is,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25are your two brains able to defeat these four?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- And would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Good luck, Simon and Paul.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Which instalment of the Star Wars film series is The Force Awakens?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- I think this is on me, isn't it, Simon?- My brother will know.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46He'll be angry with me for not knowing, but I haven't got a clue.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Er, so, I think we had the prequels, which is I, II and III,
0:23:51 > 0:23:56and I think Star Wars - the first one, A New Hope - was IV,
0:23:56 > 0:24:01so I think it will be 7th. I'm going to say 7th, I think.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- So, is 7th the most recent one?- Yes.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- The one they've just brought out? - Yes.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- And that's...?- Yeah.- Great. - OK, we'll go for the 7th, I think.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14You're right. And that's impressive.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16That's another stinker of a question.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Eggheads, who won the 2015 series of the TV show X Factor?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Louisa Johnson.- Louisa Johnson, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30OK, that was Louisa Johnson.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Are they right?- They're right.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Yeah, you're right. It's Louisa Johnson.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37One each.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Which of these words relates to the fox?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47So, I think "ursine" is bear.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I don't know what "hircine" is, but I'm pretty sure it's...
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- I think it's "vulpine".- That's what the Volpone play was based on, so...
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Was it really? OK, so, on that, I think we'll go for "vulpine."
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Very learned. You're right. Eggheads.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Deuterium is a form of which gas?
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- It's hydrogen.- Hydrogen.- Yeah.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14That is a form of hydrogen.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Hydrogen is quite right.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18OK, it's very tight.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I can't see who's going to slip up first.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Third question can be crucial.
0:25:22 > 0:25:28Doutzen Kroes, born in the Netherlands in 1985,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32is a famous name in which field? Which field?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Could you spell the name?- Yes. - Yes, sorry.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41D-O-U-T-Z-E-N, and then K-R-O-E-S.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Have you heard of him? Or her?
0:25:45 > 0:25:50Doutzen Kroes... Er, famous name, Doutzen Kroes...
0:25:51 > 0:25:53What are you thinking?
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Er, there's a cookery book that sounds a little like that.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03But 1985 just seems too... Was he born in 1985, Jeremy?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Yes, Doutzen Kroes, born in the Netherlands in 1985,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- is a famous name in which field? - I don't think it...
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Well, I wouldn't think it was fashion because I would have...
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I don't know anything about ballet or cookery,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I know a little bit about fashion. I might have heard of it then.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- Doutzen Kroes...- Um... So, he'll be 30, same age as me.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28- Um...- Too young for cookery, do you think?- Maybe.- Maybe ballet then?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I mean, I really have no idea,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33so if you're having vague memories of a cookery book.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38I really don't know. Do you want to go with our first instinct or not?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Or do you want to stick with ballet, maybe?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- We've discounted fashion immediately, haven't we?- On nothing.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Based on absolutely nothing, we've discounted it.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- I mean, Creuset?- It would be...
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Maybe that's where I'm getting it from, so...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Shall we go with ballet? - Try ballet, yes.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00As you may have spotted, we really don't know the answer,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02so we're going to go with ballet.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Ballet is your answer. I'm sensing your teammates know in the back.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Do you know? - Yeah, I think it's fashion.- Oh!
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- First bad news, guys, is she's a she.- It's a she.- Sorry, guys.- Sorry.
0:27:14 > 0:27:20- It's a she and she is in fashion. - I'm sure she does lovely work.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Let's see if the Eggheads get this right.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25If they do, the contest is over. If they don't, we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Eggheads, your question.
0:27:26 > 0:27:32In which city was Tsar Nicholas II and his family executed in 1918?
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Yekaterinburg.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38We're happy with Yekaterinburg.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40That was in Yekaterinburg,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43or sometimes it doesn't have the Y at the front,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46because of Russian transliteration, but Yekaterinburg.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49The city is Yekaterinburg.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won!
0:27:57 > 0:28:02- Bad luck. Did you know the Star Wars answer?- Yes.- OK.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I just was wondering if you'd gone first, maybe that made a difference.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- I didn't know their answers. - They do know a lot.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- Commiserations, Equizabethans. - Thank you, guys.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13On another day, I'm sure you could have won it,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16but the Eggheads have done what is starting to come naturally again.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19They're back, reigning supreme over Quizland.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21It does mean you're not going home with the £2,000,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24so we roll the money over to our next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28You just lost Barry this time.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:32 > 0:28:35to defeat the Eggheads. £3,000 will be here to play for.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Till then, goodbye.
