0:00:05 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35They are the Eggheads. And with two new members, how exciting.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38So, Beth, first of all, what does it feel like to be there?
0:00:38 > 0:00:40It's still a bit surreal, really.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Yeah, I was over there, and now I'm over here. Steve, how about you?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46They've become like the family I never wanted, Jeremy.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47LAUGHTER
0:00:47 > 0:00:49No, they've been really friendly, really welcoming,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and I just feel honoured to be part of the team.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52I hope I can do them justice.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55And remind us of your own quiz background, Steve.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59I've done a lot of quizzes, I won the Brain of Mensa in 2014,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I've been Brain of Derbyshire a couple of times.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I just generally love quizzing. Yeah, and you too, Beth.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Yeah, I've quizzed with some of these chaps around this table for
0:01:10 > 0:01:13many years, ten years plus. So, Beth and Steve, welcome to you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today are The Ambassadors.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Now, this team all met through their involvement with the
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Carmarthenshire Tourism Association in South Wales.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Let's meet them. Hi, I'm George, I own a bed-and-breakfast in South Wales.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Hi, I'm David, and I'm a hotelier in South Wales.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Hi, I'm Samantha, a semi retired business owner.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Hello, I'm John, an innkeeper in Carmarthenshire.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Hello, I'm David, and I'm the head of marketing and
0:01:41 > 0:01:44communications at the National Botanic Garden of Wales.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So, George and team, welcome. How great to see you.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50So, tell us about the Carmarthenshire Tourism Association.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, we all have tourism businesses and we all work together.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We're all trained as ambassadors, which is hopefully for the benefit
0:01:56 > 0:01:59of our customers and guests when they come down to Carmarthenshire.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Lovely, and you haven't quizzed together, have you?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03No, we don't even speak to one another usually.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05But you've got a bit of quiz knowledge in there somewhere.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07We hope so. We'll find out very shortly.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11So, ideally, we want Welsh countryside or something like that. Absolutely. OK.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Everyday there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So, Ambassadors, the Eggheads have won the last five games,
0:02:22 > 0:02:27which means ?6,000 is here for you to win today. Would you like to try?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28We'll have a go. Good stuff.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35so which of you would like this? Ooo! Who's our geographer?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40We decided that, didn't we? Yeah. John. John?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43No? I'm happy to go. David will have a go.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47OK, our hotelier, David, against which Egghead? Choose anyone.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I think it's got to be Beth.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52All right, this will be, again, a bit of history here,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Beth's first time in the Question Room.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58David from The Ambassadors versus Beth, one of our newest Eggheads.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07So, Beth, tell us a bit more about you and what your normal job is.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I'm a health and safety adviser for a London university,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12the London School of Hygiene Tropical Medicine.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16When you played Make Me An Egghead, I remember thinking you were going to choose Science, and you didn't.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20No, no. You went for, what was it? TV Film.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23You're a scientist with interests in lots of other things.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Yes, science is only one part of my armoury. Forgive me.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I'm trying to get out what makes the new Eggheads tick.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Because there will be some great strengths and maybe some vulnerabilities,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36but for goodness' sake, don't tell me what they are. No.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Maybe we'll find one now, David, how about that?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40You can test Beth's geography.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44We'll see, we'll see, I'm sure she's strong. So, it's your choice.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Would you like to go first or second? First, please.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55OK, good luck to you, David, here is your first question on Geography.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Bloemfontein is the judicial capital of which African country?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Bloemfontein is clearly not Egypt,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09with a bit of a Dutch twang to it there.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12And it is not Morocco, so it's South Africa.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15South Africa is absolutely right, well done. Thank you.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18On to you, Beth, your first question. How about that?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oh, quite scared now. JEREMY LAUGHS
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Which French city forms its own department within the country
0:04:24 > 0:04:28and is officially represented by the numerical code 75?
0:04:32 > 0:04:38Oh. Me and my children play a game in the car with department numbers.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42I'm pretty sure Paris has more than one.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I think Montpelier is more likely to be its own department,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49so I'm going to go for Montpelier. Mmm. Interesting.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Now, Barry, I think, knows this one. It's Paris, I'm afraid.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57So it's its own department, Beth. Oh. Not to worry.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59All right, so, Dave, back to you. You're in the lead.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01In which English county is Windsor Castle?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Coming from Kent, it's definitely not Norfolk.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Pretty sure it's not Surrey.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15So Berkshire is a process of elimination.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Berkshire is correct, you've got two out of two.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21So, Beth, your question. You need to get this right.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25The Vistula is the longest river in which European country?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I'm going to be eliminating Greece, just from the language.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38It sounds more Eastern European than Western European,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41so that's going to take out Austria, so I'm going to go with Poland.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Poland is quite right, well done.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46So, you have one and David has two. And, David,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54In which group of islands does the tourist destination of Mykonos lie?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Or Mick-konos?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Well, Jeremy, I don't know this one. I've obviously heard of Mykonos.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I would choose Ionian.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Any Eggheads know? Cyclades.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11The Cyclades, Kevin says. And he's absolutely right,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Cyclades it is. So,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17you have two out of three. And, Beth, you can catch up.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Take him to Sudden Death if you get this right.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22What was the Roman name for Colchester?
0:06:27 > 0:06:33Now, I do know this answer from reading Asterix books as a child.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36And I think this is Camulodunum.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Yeah, we've both got brilliant ways of pronouncing it.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44I'll defer to yours. Camulodunum is the right answer, well done.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46So, two points each after three questions.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Beth making a bit of a comeback there, Beth, that was good,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51steely play there. Yeah. We go to Sudden Death, David, it gets a bit harder,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I don't give you options. Here's your first question.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59The resort of Cleethorpes is in which English county?
0:06:59 > 0:07:05I would... I would take a guess for Yorkshire.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Yes. You are thinking Scarborough or something up there.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It's not. It is Lincolnshire. Ah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15OK, Beth, your question now.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Sudden death, you could end the round if you get this right.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20In which English city is the Crossbones Graveyard,
0:07:20 > 0:07:25which was used from the late Medieval period as a burial ground
0:07:25 > 0:07:27for paupers and criminals?
0:07:27 > 0:07:34Well, it is likely to obviously be a very large city, so...
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Though I don't actually know for certain the answer for this,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39but I will go with London.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41It is in Southwark in London, well done.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Beth, you got it right, Sudden Death.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Oh, you have won your first round as a fully-fledged Egghead.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48That's nice.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49APPLAUSE
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Bit of a comeback as well.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53You are getting applause from the challengers too. Well done, Beth.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Sorry, David, beaten by our Egghead. No worries.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58As a result, you won't be joining your team in the final round.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It's very early days, please come back to us, David and Beth,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and rejoin your team-mates.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Ambassadors, you have lost a brain from the final round.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It is not over yet, not by a long way.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10The Eggheads have not lost any,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13and Beth has done her first round as a fully-fledged Egghead.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17The next subject is Film and TV. Who would like this?
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Ooh. Who's on film and TV?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I think Samantha's got that one.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Thank you. Samantha. OK, good stuff. Against whom?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Can't be Beth.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Yeah, we're going to go for the new Eggheads,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30we're giving you a baptism of fire here, Steve.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'll try and look surprised.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38OK. A lot of strategy going on with our Challengers here.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Samantha from the Ambassadors will take on Steve.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42To ensure there's no conferring,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46please take your positions in the question room.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48OK, Steve, how are you feeling?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49I'll tell you in about five minutes, Jeremy.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51JEREMY LAUGHS
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I know you've got brilliant quiz history, Brain of Mensa 2014.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56A Mensa score of 155,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58which sounds very high.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00That's different from IQ, is it, or is it IQ?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01It is IQ, basically, Jeremy.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Basically, it's solving riddles and puzzles.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07They do warn you, though, it could go down as well as up.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I might be about 130 by now, you know.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Oh, I see, it can move, can it?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Oh, it certainly can, yeah. Samantha, good luck here.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17First time up against one of our newest Eggheads. It's Film and TV.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Would you like to go first or second? First, please.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Samantha, here is your question.
0:09:25 > 0:09:31In which 1986 film did David Bowie star as Jareth, the Goblin King?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Right.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Well, Little Shop Of Horrors was a musical, but I do remember
0:09:41 > 0:09:47him being, I think, in Labyrinth, so I'll go for Labyrinth.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Labyrinth is spot-on. Well done.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52OK, Steve, over to you. Your first question as an Egghead.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle and Jonny Lee Miller all appeared
0:09:56 > 0:10:00in which 1996 film?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Well, it's a great film, Jeremy, based on a great book.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10It's Trainspotting.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It is a great book and a great film. You're right.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Trainspotting is correct.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16OK, Samantha, back to you.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Who was the studio presenter of the very first National Lottery
0:10:20 > 0:10:22live draw programme,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25which was broadcast in November 1994?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Right. I think it might have been Noel Edmonds.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36You're right. Well done. OK.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Steve, the TV presenter Ferne McCann first found fame
0:10:41 > 0:10:44on which TV reality show?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Reality TV and me don't really mix.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54So on no other premise than Big Brother's been going the
0:10:54 > 0:10:56longest, I will try Big Brother.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58The answer is The Only Way Is Essex.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Yeah. Interesting.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Samantha, you've got two. He's got one.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Get this right, you're in the final round.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10In May 2016, a trailer for which forthcoming film broke the
0:11:10 > 0:11:15record for the most watched teaser trailer online with
0:11:15 > 0:11:19over 90 million views in its first 24 hours?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Ooh. I don't think it was Beauty And The Beast.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I think it was Toy Story 4.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35I would have guessed that too.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Let's see if your team-mates know. Is she right?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I don't know, but I would suggest it was Star Wars.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I'm going to surprise you all. The answer is Beauty And The Beast.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49So, Steve, you need this to stay in.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Which actress and comedienne created and appeared in the comedy series
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Nighty Night, Hunderby and Camping?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I know Jo Brand has done one or two series, but, again,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I'm probably shooting myself in the foot here,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I don't associate her with any of those.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Miranda Hart...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I didn't think she'd been on the scene that long, so purely on
0:12:14 > 0:12:20the basis of that, I will try, with no great conviction, Julia Davis.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22OK, Beth, do you know this one? Yes, it is Julia Davis.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Julia Davis is the right answer.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28You're level. It means we go to sudden death. Samantha,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31it gets a bit harder, I don't give you options. Here we go.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Which English rock star is credited as
0:12:33 > 0:12:38a co-creator and executive producer of the US TV series Vinyl?
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Rock star. Have to be an American, I presume, if it's a US...
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Or would it be an American?
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Sorry, I just don't know that one,
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Jeremy, I think it's fair to say, it'll be a complete guess.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Well, give us a guess.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Oh... Elton John.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Kind of the right generation. Mick Jagger.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Steve, back to you, get this right, you're in the final.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08In 2016, who stepped down as host of the cookery show Saturday Kitchen
0:13:08 > 0:13:11after ten years?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I'm not sure he's the host, I know he's a chef on it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18That's about the only name I've got in my head. I'll say James Martin.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20The correct answer is James Martin. Well done, Steve.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Another comeback by our newest Eggheads.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25So in the final, Steve.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Sorry, Samantha, you were beaten and you won't be in the final round.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Please, return and we'll play on.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34The Ambassadors have lost another brain from the final round.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The Eggheads are still sitting pretty with all five.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41The next subject for you is Science. Who would like this?
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Ooh...
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Science? Skipper.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46My chance?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48George? My turn.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51That's your thing. OK. I'm voted in here.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Pick one of the classic Eggheads there on the right-hand side.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Who looks like a budding scientist?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Judith.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00I thought it might be me.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04OK, George from the Ambassadors versus our own Egghead ambassador,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Judith Keppel on Science.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Please go to the question room now.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12George, I know you keep birds of prey. I do indeed.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Have you ever seen anything as frightening
0:14:14 > 0:14:17as Judith Keppel in flight?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Not yet, not yet.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21All right, good luck. You have got Science.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I know you know your animals and your species,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26which may come in handy. Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:26 > 0:14:27I think I'll go first.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Here we go with your first science question, George.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Natural gas, oil and which other substance are regarded as the
0:14:38 > 0:14:40three main fossil fuels?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Well, all the old carbons together, I think it must be coal.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Coal is right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Judith, your first science question.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Kelp forests are ecosystems that are typically found where?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Well, kelp is seaweed, so in the sea.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09In the sea is right, well done.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11George, back to you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14What type of whale is often referred to as the canary of the
0:15:14 > 0:15:18sea because its calls can sound like singing?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24The canary of the sea.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Well, all whales, of course, communicate by strong sound.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30All very vociferous.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Indeed, whales, I believe,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35there's actually a whale song in a record at one time.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I've a sneaky feeling it might have been a beluga whale.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I'll go for beluga.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45You've got it right. Well done. OK, Judith, your question.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49In which year was the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins born?
0:15:55 > 0:16:02I think he's probably pushing 70. I'm going to say 1941.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Yes, 1941 it is.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Two each. We go to your third question now, George.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14The Dutch physician Dick Swaab has received several rewards
0:16:14 > 0:16:18around the world for his research into which part of the body?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Yeah, I've heard the name.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I also worked in the pharmaceutical industry for a while.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Because I worked in the pharmaceutical industry and
0:16:30 > 0:16:33dealt with cardiovascular drugs, I'm being drawn towards the heart.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35That might be the wrong place to go,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39but I'll go with the heart here, Jeremy.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40The answer is the brain. Ah.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Judith, on science, get this right and you're in the final round.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Which creatures are affected by a parasitic condition
0:16:49 > 0:16:51known as whirling disease?
0:16:55 > 0:17:01Well, fish get parasites. Well, all of those things get parasites.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I think, maybe, it might be birds.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05They might whirl in the sky,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08which tells you that they've got this parasite.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10The answer is fish. It's fish.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12But I thought it could be fish, I must admit.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Yeah.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15OK, we go to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I don't give you options. George, your question.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19What type of creature was Inky,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22whose escape through a drain hole into the
0:17:22 > 0:17:27sea from New Zealand's National Aquarium was reported in April 2016?
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Ooh. Inky.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I can only assume it's an animal that squirts ink,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36so I'll go for an octopus.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Octopus is quite right. Judith, your question to stay in. Sudden Death.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45What does the C stand for in the mnemonic ABC used by first aiders
0:17:45 > 0:17:49to remind them of the checks to perform on a patient?
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Well, I should think it's cardio something. Cardio. Cardio.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Yeah. OK. Barry? You know what?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01As an ex GP's son, I should really know this one and I don't.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I'm thinking the A and B may be Airways and Breathing, but...
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Beth will know. I know, yeah. It's Circulation.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12Ah. It's Airways, Breathing, Circulation. Not cardio, Judith.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16You've been knocked out, I'm afraid. Well done, George!
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Bit of a turnaround.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21The skipper will be in the final for the challengers.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Please come back to us.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Nice one, George. How about that?! Very pleased.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31As it stands, the Ambassadors have lost two brains from the
0:18:31 > 0:18:33final round, but the Eggheads also have one knocked out now.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38The last subject before the all-important final is History.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40It's either going to be John or David. I'm going in, am I?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Yeah, cos you're oldest.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44OK, John from the Ambassadors versus who?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48It could either be Barry or Kevin. Not easy choices there, my goodness!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I know.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Because of the shirt he's wearing, I'm going to go for Barry.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57OK, John from the Ambassadors versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Please go to the question room now.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Good luck to you both.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05On history, John, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06First, please.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Here is your first question.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13The 1642 Battle of Edgehill
0:19:13 > 0:19:17was the first major engagement of which war?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I'm going to go for War of the Roses.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28English Civil War is the answer.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Barry, which poisonous substance was the Greek philosopher
0:19:32 > 0:19:38Socrates forced to drink when he was found guilty of impiety and
0:19:38 > 0:19:39corrupting the young?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Yes, eh, Socrates gave famous last words,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49which were to his friend Crito.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53He said, "Crito, please sacrifice a god to Asclepius."
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Asclepius was the Greek God of healing.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59What Socrates meant by that was that all his troubles were over
0:19:59 > 0:20:02because he would be healed when he took a draught of hemlock.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04That's the correct answer.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05OK, John, back to you.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were born in which century?
0:20:13 > 0:20:19Oh... They wouldn't have been in the 17th century.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24I think it's the 19th century. Yes, indeed it is. Well done.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27One point each. Barry, if you get this right, you've taken the lead.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Which of these actions of World War II took place in 1940?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Well, D-Day was June 6th, 1944.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42The Battle of Midway was in 1942. The Battle of Britain,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46the date that is normally given for this is September 15th, 1940.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Spot-on, Barry. Well done. Battle of Britain.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52You need to get this one right, John.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57In 2005, Italy returned the 1,700-year-old Obelisk of Axum
0:20:57 > 0:21:03to which African country 68 years after it had been
0:21:03 > 0:21:05removed by invading troops?
0:21:10 > 0:21:15I don't think it was Chad. Troops, where would they have been.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I'll go for Mozambique.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23OK. Ethiopia is the answer, John.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Barry, well done. Thank you for playing, John. Come back to us and
0:21:26 > 0:21:27we'll play the final round.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33It's time for the final round, which, as always,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35is General Knowledge.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:21:37 > 0:21:39able to take part in this round.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43David, Samantha and John from the Ambassadors, and also Judith
0:21:43 > 0:21:46from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Well, here we are.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52George and David, you are playing to win the Ambassadors ?6,000.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Beth, Steve, Barry and Kevin, you're playing for something that
0:21:55 > 0:21:59money really can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04This time, the questions are all general knowledge.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06You are allowed to confer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Ambassadors, the question is, can you with your two brains
0:22:09 > 0:22:12overwhelm these four, including our newest Eggheads?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16We'd like to go first, Jeremy, please.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22David, George, all the best to you. Good luck.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Here is your first question.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Which BBC Radio station's frequency is 88 - 91 FM?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35We can do some crowing here, cos we never miss Jeremy's show.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38It's the best radio station. It's Radio 2.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40JEREMY LAUGHS
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Radio 2 is the right answer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Eggheads, which of these was a term for
0:22:44 > 0:22:47a militia man during the American Revolution?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I think that's Minuteman.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Yeah, agree.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58We believe the answer there is Minuteman, Jeremy.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01The idea being that they had to be ready with their weapons and
0:23:01 > 0:23:03equipment in a minute.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05OK, Minuteman it is. Yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Back to you, Ambassadors.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11The traditional food known as bannock is usually regarded
0:23:11 > 0:23:13as falling into which of these categories.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19It sounds Scottish, George. Is it Scottish? It is.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22It's oatmeal-y, so I think it would be a bread.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23I eat them every morning.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25We're going for Bread, Jeremy.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Yeah, very sure-footed play. It is bread. You're right.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Eggheads, from January 2014 to March 2015,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Malcolm Bruce was the deputy leader of which political party?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Lib Dem. Must be the Lib Dems. Can't be any of the others.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50It isn't either of the others, anyway. No, he's a Lib Dem.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I believe he's a Liberal Democrat.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56He is a Lib Dem, you're quite right. This passed me by, I must say.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59It's two each. You may only be a question away from ?6,000.
0:24:01 > 0:24:07The Czech sportsman Jan Kodes won which major sporting event in 1973?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I'm pretty sure he's a tennis player. Tennis player.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15I was hoping it was going to be...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18You wouldn't be playing much tennis in the US Masters, would he?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21No. We're going to go Wimbledon, Jeremy.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Wimbledon's right. Well done.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25OK, Eggheads. On the precipice edge here.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29New blood in, but is it going to be enough?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33In which modern-day country did the renowned Carthaginian general
0:24:33 > 0:24:38Hannibal meet his death in the 2nd century BC?
0:24:40 > 0:24:44I recall he died in Bithynia, where he took poison.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Bithynia at that time was one of the smaller countries that was
0:24:46 > 0:24:50part of Turkey. What subsequently became Turkey, yeah.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I'm inclined to go for Turkey there.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57OK. Hannibal, of course, was a Carthaginian leader.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Fought very well against the Romans.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04Carthage is in what's now Tunisia, but after his defeat,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06he'd had to go into exile.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12We think that he wound up in what is now Turkey.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Turkey is right.
0:25:14 > 0:25:183-3. Sudden death. Gets a bit harder. I don't give you options.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Challengers, I'm Into Something Good was the only UK
0:25:22 > 0:25:25number 1 single for which group?
0:25:25 > 0:25:26We can sing it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Who the hell sung that?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Herman's Hermits. Herman's Hermits? Herman's Hermits, yeah. Sure? Yeah.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Definitely? Yep, I used to be a radio DJ.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42My reputation at stake here! The radio DJ beside me... Ex, ex, ex.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44..insists it's Herman's Hermits.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Yeah, Herman's Hermits is right. Well done.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50No daylight for the Eggheads.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53If they get this wrong, you've won ?6,000.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Believe me, they can malfunction. I've seen it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Often used in internet chatrooms,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03what does the abbreviation IRL stand for?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Any thoughts on this one? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's In Real Life.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Well done. Well done. OK, OK, right.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14OK, Jeremy, reliably informed that that stands for In Real Life.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17In Real Life. It's so funny, I saw that question, I thought,
0:26:17 > 0:26:18"This is going to stump you."
0:26:18 > 0:26:20We've got a new Egghead.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23She knows! In Real Life is right. Well done, Beth.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Back to you, Ambassadors.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Which Liverpudlian comedian,
0:26:29 > 0:26:35born in 1952, wrote the 2016 memoir Thatcher Stole My Trousers?
0:26:36 > 0:26:431952. 64-year-old Liverpudlian comedian.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47So, em... Like a political comedian, wouldn't it?
0:26:47 > 0:26:52What was the name of the guy who used to... Stan Boardman, was it?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Stan Boardman, he was Liverpudlian.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57He was Liverpudlian. Would he be about 64? Is he older?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I think we're going to have to get ready to kick ourselves.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Yeah, I think so. I think this is going to be so obvious too.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04We'll look really stupid. Go for that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07We're going to say Stan Boardman.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Stan Boardman. Do you know, Eggheads?
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Alexei Sayle. Alexei Sayle. No! Oh!
0:27:12 > 0:27:14OK, well, you're not finished yet. Let's see.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest is over.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Your question, Sudden Death -
0:27:18 > 0:27:20which Canadian author and social activist wrote the
0:27:20 > 0:27:22bestselling book No Logo?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Naomi Klein. Naomi Klein, wasn't it?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Naomi Klein. OK.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30We believe that's Naomi Klein.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34If you're correct, the contest is over.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36This team got very close to the ?6,000,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38but the answer is Naomi Klein.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50I feel your pain, David, cos I know that's right up your street,
0:27:50 > 0:27:54I'm sure. Same generation as me, you'll remember all of his stuff,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Alexei Sayle.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00It may be that the IRL moment with Beth was decisive. It may well be.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Unfortunately, you've been cost ?6,000 by a new Egghead,
0:28:04 > 0:28:05but there we go.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08They're obviously getting into the swing of things,
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Steve and Beth over there.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14The Eggheads have done what comes, well, we think naturally, to them.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Their winning streak continues.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18It does mean you won't be going home with the ?6,000,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20which means the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Thanks for coming in and playing. It's been great to see you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Eggheads, well done.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Join us next time to see if a different team of challengers
0:28:27 > 0:28:30have the brains to defeat the all-new Eggheads.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33?7,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Behind the genteel facades of Victorian London's streets,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07life was bitterly hard.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Can't believe people had to live like this all their life.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12BBC Two will bring a 19th-century slum back to life...
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I'm starving - that's what's making me a bit emotional.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16..and take its residents
0:29:16 > 0:29:18through five decades of extraordinary change...
0:29:18 > 0:29:19We're already in debt.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22..to reveal how London's most destitute people
0:29:22 > 0:29:24altered our attitude to poverty forever.
