0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And with our two new arrivals on the end as well. Fantastic.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Beth and Steve.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are Peter's Griffin.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This friends-and-family team quiz together every week
0:00:43 > 0:00:45at the Griffin pub in Bowdon.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Kari,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I'm an employee services officer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Phil and I'm a graphic artist.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Steve, I'm a retired chartered accountant.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Roger, I'm a retired council worker.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Robin, I'm a retired police officer.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Kari and team, welcome.- Thank you. - Nice to see you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And Kari, first, tell us why the word Griffin is in the team name.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13We play at the Griffin pub in Bowdon.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18But it's also our... Pete is our quizmaster at the pub.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22And Peter Griffin is Family Guy, which is one of my favourites.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Oh, lovely, so it locks together. - It all locks together.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And the Griffin pub is roughly where in the country?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Bowdon is... I'm not Geography. - Shropshire?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Just south of Manchester. - South of Manchester, OK.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34But your accent is not from there.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- I'm very good with accents, I can tell that's not Manchester.- Wigan.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41It's the Wigan area, OK.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42THEY LAUGH
0:01:42 > 0:01:44But it's great you're all quizzers.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Have you got different categories that you're good at?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49We do really well on our team
0:01:49 > 0:01:51because we each have categories
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- that we're really good at. - Brilliant.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55So we do well.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Say no more about them, keep them under your hat for now.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Good luck, Challengers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:03 > 0:02:04for the team that comes in.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10So, Peter's Griffin,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12the Eggheads are on a bit of a roll at the moment.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15They've won the last three games, so you need to stop them,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and there's £4,000 if you do.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Would you like to try?- I think so.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Fantastic. The first head-to-head
0:02:21 > 0:02:23is on the subject of Sport.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Is this good?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26It is...?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- I think it's you.- Robin?- Robin. - OK, Robin.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Retired police officer. And who would you like to arrest?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- We're going to go for Judith. - Oh, OK.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37She's having a bit of a run, isn't she?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39But she knows her sport, I think.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Can I try the new young lady at the far end, please?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Yes, you swerved that, Judith, brilliantly.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48So, Beth, you'll be very popular with Judith now,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50you got her out of doing Sport.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Robin from Peter's Griffin versus the newest Egghead, Beth.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Please go to our famous Question Room now.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Beth, I'm thinking you haven't done a head-to-head on Sport yet.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- No, not yet.- OK, good luck.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Robin, Sport, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12All the best, here we go, Robin.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17In athletics, the 10,000 metres race involves running around
0:03:17 > 0:03:19a standard Olympic track how many times?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Certainly not five. 400 metres.
0:03:27 > 0:03:2915...
0:03:29 > 0:03:3025 laps.
0:03:30 > 0:03:3225 is quite right, well done.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Beth, your question.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39The Norwegian Ronny Deila managed which football team
0:03:39 > 0:03:42between 2014 and 2016?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Well, the...
0:03:49 > 0:03:54The Paris Saint-Germain manager is not that.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I know the Celtic manager has just changed to Brendan Rodgers,
0:03:57 > 0:03:58so I'm going to go with Celtic.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Celtic is quite right. Well done.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Back to you, Robin.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Which former world champion snooker player
0:04:05 > 0:04:09announced his retirement from the game, aged 58, in 2016?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Ray Reardon is older than that.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Parrott, Parrott, Parrott, Parrott.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I think it's Steve Davis.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Steve Davis is correct.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27All right, Beth, your question.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31At the 1990 Grand National, which horse recorded
0:04:31 > 0:04:33the fastest-ever winning time,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36finishing in 8 minutes 47.8 seconds?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Ohh.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49I'm not sure about that one. It could be Mr Frisk or Ballabriggs.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Ben Nevis isn't a horse I've heard of.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Ballabriggs may have been a little later.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Let's go with Mr Frisk, though I've got a horrible feeling
0:04:57 > 0:04:59that was slightly later in the '90s.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Eggs, can you help us here?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- That's right.- They like it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Well done, Beth.- Hurrah!
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Anything else we know about Mr Frisk?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08An amateur rider? Marcus Armytage,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10but the others are both winners.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Right, and we come back to you now, Robin.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Doggett's Coat and Badge
0:05:14 > 0:05:17is one of the world's oldest races in which sport?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Rowing. I'm going for rowing.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Right, now, I think Judith knows this.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I think it's rowing too.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Yes, Judith agrees with you.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- Oh.- Which is always a good sign.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- Well, we hope.- In Sport.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34In Sport, yeah.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Right, Beth,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39your question, to stay in.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Which country has won tennis's Davis Cup tournament on the most occasions?
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Now, Great Britain most famously won it for the first time
0:05:54 > 0:05:59in a very long time back in the end of 2015.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02So, USA or Australia.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Both have excellent tennis players.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's going to be a process of elimination, this one, Jeremy,
0:06:08 > 0:06:14because I don't actually know the answer, but let's go with the USA.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Brilliant, you got it right, well done. USA it is. 3-3.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20She's hard to shake off, Robin,
0:06:20 > 0:06:21- isn't she?- She certainly is.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23You're playing well.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Gets a bit harder now, Robin. We go to Sudden Death,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27so I don't give you options.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Which comedian received a special award
0:06:30 > 0:06:34at the 2009 Sports Personality of the Year awards
0:06:34 > 0:06:38to acknowledge his marathon-running efforts for Sport Relief?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40He dresses up as a woman.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Eddie Izzard?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Eddie Izzard is right.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49OK, your question, Beth.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52What two-word name is shared by the home grounds
0:06:52 > 0:06:57of the Somerset and Derbyshire county cricket teams?
0:06:57 > 0:07:02It's not somewhere that they play a lot of Test matches,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06England Test matches, so it's not one that's immediately on my radar.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09County Ground is probably shared by quite a few,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11so it's going to have a separate name.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Like Trent Bridge or...
0:07:16 > 0:07:17..something like that.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19For want of nothing better,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22and it's the first thing that came to my mind,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25the Rose Ground... or Rose...
0:07:25 > 0:07:27The Rose Bowl.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Rose Bowl.- Yeah.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Do you know this one, Robin, by any chance?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I know it's not the Rose Bowl, that's Southampton.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38But I can't remember, and I've been to the Derbyshire ground.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Yeah, it's funny, you said the answer earlier, Beth.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Did I?- Yes, the answer is County Ground.- Oh, you're kidding!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Robin, well done, you're in the final. Well done!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Sorry, Beth, you've been knocked out on the County Ground.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Please return to your teams.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, as it stands, Peter's Griffin have not lost
0:07:56 > 0:07:58any brains from the final round
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and our newest Egghead has just been knocked out,
0:08:01 > 0:08:02knocked round the County Ground.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04The next subject is Film & Television.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Film & TV.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Who'd like this?- I think this is me.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Roger.- Against which Egghead?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Shall we try Steve, the new one?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Yeah, that sounds good to me.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18He might know a lot, he might know nothing, but let's find out.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Roger from Peter's Griffin is going to take on Steve.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I'm glad you're with us, Roger,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32given that when you were a baby you were stood on by an elephant.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Well, that's not quite right, I was stood on by a baby elephant.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Oh, I see, so the elephant was the baby.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- The elephant was a baby, yes. - OK.- It was about three months old.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45You're up against Steve.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Film & TV, would you like to go first or second
0:08:48 > 0:08:50against one of our newest Eggheads?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51I'll go first, please.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Here we go. Which singer's acting credits include the films
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Cadillac Records, The Fighting Temptations
0:09:03 > 0:09:06and the 2006 version of The Pink Panther?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I don't think I saw the first film.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I do remember The Fighting Temptations.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21So I'm going to go for Beyonce.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yes, Beyonce is quite right, well done.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26OK, Steve.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Back In Training and Assignment Miami Beach are subtitles
0:09:31 > 0:09:34of 1980s instalments in which film series?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Yeah. Comedies without the jokes.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43They were Police Academy.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47OK, not a winner in your household, clearly.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Police Academy is the right answer.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Back to you, Roger.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Broadcast in the UK in the late 1950s,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58what kind of television programme was "Oh Boy!"?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Late 1950s, I would probably be about nine or ten years old.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I have a feeling, and I'm going to go with it,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14that it was a live music show.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Live music show is right.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19OK, Steve, your question.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Who plays Detective Inspector Geordie Keating
0:10:22 > 0:10:25in the TV drama series Grantchester?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I've got a little rhyme to help me remember things like this and
0:10:36 > 0:10:38it starts eeny meeny miny moe.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I know Robson Green is in that Wire In The Blood thing,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45so rightly or wrongly...
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Obviously he can appear in more than one thing.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I'm going to rule him out.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53James Nesbitt, I know he's in something as well
0:10:53 > 0:10:57that's a bit detective-y, but is it that one?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Grantchester? So...
0:10:59 > 0:11:03It's a bit of a guess and I'll guess at...
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Max Beesley.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06I know about Wire In The Blood
0:11:06 > 0:11:09because I'm reading the book at the moment.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11And that is Robson Green,
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- but this is also Robson Green.- Oh.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Yeah, in Grantchester.- Right then.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Oh, how interesting.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18So, you've got a chance,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Roger, to knock out another new Egghead.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28Who directed the classic 1953 film noir The Big Heat?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Joseph Losey, I think, is, or was, a British director.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Billy Wilder...
0:11:40 > 0:11:44I don't think that was really his style.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Fritz Lang was working in Hollywood at the time,
0:11:48 > 0:11:49I'm pretty sure.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Yes, I think Fritz Lang.- OK.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Steve?- Definitely Fritz Lang.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Fritz Lang is right.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Well done, Roger.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Three out of three.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Well done, Roger, you've beaten an Egghead, you will be in the final.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Steve has been knocked out as well.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10This is not going well for the Eggheads at all, is it?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Rejoin your team-mates and we'll play on.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17As it stands, Peter's Griffin are still all sitting there,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19poised to play the final and take you lot down.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22The Eggheads have lost two brains, my goodness me!
0:12:22 > 0:12:23The next subject is Science.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26So, which one of you would like Science?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Steve, you're in the chair.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32It's great having no friends, isn't it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- OK.- Who would you like to take on, Steve?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38You can have either Kevin, Barry, known as The Brain,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40or Judith, known as The Rocket.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Barry, please.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47OK, so Steve from Peter's Griffin is going to play Barry on Science,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50and please go to our Question Room now.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51So, good luck on Science, Steve.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Would you like to go first or second?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I think first, Jeremy, please.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Here we go.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05Native to Central Africa, what kind of animal is the basenji?
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Well, goodness me! I've never heard of that in my life.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Can I try and do what the Eggheads do and guess sensibly?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Difficult.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Dog? Well, there are dogs there.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Goats, I guess there are goats there. Frogs?
0:13:26 > 0:13:31Well, it's a pure, pure guess. I'm going to go for dog.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34OK, Barry's laughing. Why, have you got one at home?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Well, I haven't got one at home, but it is a dog,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39but it's unique among the dogs of the dog world
0:13:39 > 0:13:42because it's the only dog that is unable to bark.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44OK, that's right. How interesting.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46You've done really well there, Steve.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Well, I just can't believe it, Jeremy, I cannot believe it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Barry, your question.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56In terms of radio, what does the abbreviation DAB stand for?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Well, everybody who couldn't get DAB had to get a new radio
0:14:06 > 0:14:10when we moved into the digital age, so it's Digital Audio Broadcasting.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Digital Audio Broadcasting is quite right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15OK, Steve, which mammal,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19previously extinct in the UK for over 300 years,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22has established a breeding colony in the Forest of Dean
0:14:22 > 0:14:26after escapes and illegal dumping in the last 20 years?
0:14:31 > 0:14:37Well...as far as I know, we don't have any wild bears in this country.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Again, I could be wrong,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43but I don't believe there are any wolves either.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46So I'm going to go for, Jeremy, wild boar.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yes, you're absolutely right.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It's not! It's not right!
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- No, it is right.- Wow!- 100%.- Wow!
0:14:53 > 0:14:57OK, Barry. Where do branchiopods live?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I was hoping you would say brachiopods
0:15:03 > 0:15:06because that might be a tad easier.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Branchio.- Branchio.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I've never heard this word at all.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Pod... Pod is from the Latin, it's taking me to earth,
0:15:15 > 0:15:16so I'm going to say in earth.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20All right, I know what you mean.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Steve, on your logical analysis you probably would have gone trees,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25would you, cos it's got the word "branch" in?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- I would have been as simplistic as that, Jeremy.- Yes.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29But both are wrong. It's water, Barry.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Oh. Didn't know.- There we are.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37- Eggs?- They're very small organisms, water-dwelling organisms.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42OK, when you say very small, do you mean a grain of sand or smaller?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45No, not that small. I mean, they are very small things,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48but they're not actually microscopic.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Here's your question.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56In the human body, hyaline, fibrous and elastic are types of what?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01As the one with the science background years ago,
0:16:01 > 0:16:05I'm somewhat disappointed that I'm guessing at all my questions.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- But that's how it cuts sometimes in Eggheads, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I'm going to go for muscle, Jeremy.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17- Muscle is your answer, but it's wrong this time, it's cartilage.- OK.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19So we go to Barry. Get this one wrong
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and the round is over for you.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25In physics, what name is given to the branch of mechanics
0:16:25 > 0:16:29concerned with the forces that act on bodies at rest?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I'm on much safer ground now.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Bodies in movement is dynamics and bodies at rest is statics.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Exactly. A description of the Eggheads.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Statics is right.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51So, three questions each, the scores are level.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- You're taken into Sudden Death, Steve.- OK.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And I don't give you alternatives in this part of the round.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Which colourful member of the crow family has the scientific name
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Garrulus glandarius?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I don't know.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09So I will make a guess.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I know it's wrong - raven.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16It's not raven, I've got jay. Eggs?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Jays supposedly chatter a lot
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- and that's where we get the word garrulous.- Oh, I see.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Garrulus bit comes from the jay chattering.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Ah, all right. - OK, thank you, Kevin.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Useful. So, Barry, your chance now
0:17:30 > 0:17:32to take the round.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35In medicine, the abbreviation NSAID,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37which is N-S-A-I-D,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory...what?
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Oh, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory...
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Well, I'm tempted to say drug, but let me just think about this.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54No, I can't think of anything else, so I'll go for drug.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Yeah, it really is. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59You've taken the round on Sudden Death.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Well done, Barry. Sorry, Steve,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03beaten by our Egghead. Let's see
0:18:03 > 0:18:06if the Eggheads are mounting some kind of comeback here.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Rejoin your teams and we'll play the last head-to-head.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13So, a little bit of an Egghead comeback going on here maybe.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Peter's Griffin have now lost a brain, the Eggheads have lost two.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Let's see what happens next with Politics.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Who would like this?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- It's going to be you.- What can I say? It'll have to be me.- OK, Phil.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27And which Egghead? It can either be Judith or Kevin.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Let's go for Kevin, please. Thank you.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31All right, so, Phil from Peter's Griffin
0:18:31 > 0:18:35trying to take out Kevin from the Eggheads on Politics.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Please go to the Question Room now.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40So, Politics, Phil, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I'd like to go first, please.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48OK, let's see if you can knock out Kevin here,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50that'll be very handy for your team.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54The name Conservative Party was first used as the name
0:18:54 > 0:18:57of the political party in the UK in what year?
0:19:02 > 0:19:041730 is too early.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I'll go for 1930.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Any of your team-mates know?- 1830.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Yeah, it's 1830.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- OK.- Phil, bad luck.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Over to Kevin.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22In 2007, at Westminster, the post of Lord Chancellor
0:19:22 > 0:19:26was combined with that of the Secretary of State for...what?
0:19:31 > 0:19:37Yeah, it's because the Lord Chancellor has legal functions,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39it's Justice.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Justice is right.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Back to you, Phil.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46During the mid 2000s, the Division Belles,
0:19:46 > 0:19:50that's B-E-L-L-E-S, a group of female UK parliamentarians,
0:19:50 > 0:19:54met regularly to take part in what activity?
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Never heard of them.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Um...
0:20:06 > 0:20:08It's not going to be tap dancing.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I can't see it being synchronised swimming.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I'll go for rhythmic gymnastics, please.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Tap dancing is the answer.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- OK.- Phil, tap dancing.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20I wonder who they were.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22OK, over to you, Kevin,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26and with this you can take the round.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Nigel Lawson, now Baron Lawson of Blaby,
0:20:29 > 0:20:34was from 1966 to 1970 the editor of which magazine?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Well, it's not...
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I'm pretty sure he wasn't involved with The Economist.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48And The Listener is obviously, or was,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51more involved with the media world.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57But in terms of political/commentating magazines,
0:20:57 > 0:21:01and it's one that's produced a few Tory politicians over the years,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03and others as well, it's The Spectator.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06It has indeed. The Spectator is the right answer.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Kevin, you've taken the round. Sorry, Phil. But don't worry,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12cos the context is that your team's played very well up to this point.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Phil, you've been knocked out. Kevin, you're in the final.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Come back to us and we will play the final round.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26But I'm afraid those of you
0:21:26 > 0:21:29who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31So, Phil and Steve from Peter's Griffin,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34and Beth and Steve from the Eggheads,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39So, Kari, Roger, Robin,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43you are playing to win Peter's Griffin £4,000.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Barry, Judith and Kevin,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47you're playing for something that money really can't buy,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51which is just to protect that precious Eggheads reputation.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57This time they're all General Knowledge. You can confer. OK?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59So, Peter's Griffin, the question is,
0:21:59 > 0:22:04can your three brains defeat these three super-brains over here?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Jeremy.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12OK, Kari and team, good luck,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and here we go with your first question.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19On Twitter, what is reposting someone's message
0:22:19 > 0:22:22so that your own followers can see it known as?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Retweeting.- It's retweeting.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- It's retweeting.- Retweeting is the right answer, of course.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37OK, your question, Eggheads.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Which of the following is a term for playful repartee?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Badinage.- Badinage, absolutely.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Badinage?- Badinage.- That's badinage.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53That's what we have all the time.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55We have quite a lot of badinage, don't we?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Badinage is right.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00OK. Back to Peter's Griffin.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Which writer is widely credited with coining
0:23:04 > 0:23:07in 1973 the word factoid,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10meaning unreliable information
0:23:10 > 0:23:13repeated so often it is believed to be true?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- 1973?- Yeah.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26- It's a little bit early for Stephen King.- I think Norman Mailer.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I don't think it's Fay Weldon.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Norman Mailer, that kind of... - Norman Mailer sounds like...
0:23:34 > 0:23:35I'd say Norman Mailer.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- OK?- Norman Mailer.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Norman Mailer is right. Well done.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Who wrote, do you remember...?
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Oh, gosh. I know... See? Now I can't think.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Because I had to read it at university,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- I remember The Naked And The Dead. - Oh, yes.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Maybe about Vietnam, was it? - The Second World War.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57The Second World War.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00OK. Eggheads, to draw level.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Which part of a car would be most directly involved
0:24:03 > 0:24:04in reaching a biting point?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12It must be the clutch. When you do a hill start,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- you reach the biting point... - Yes, that's true.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19..to make sure you've got enough power to stay level,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22but be able to get off straightaway, so it's the clutch.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24I think it probably is the clutch.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26You let the clutch in.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I don't drive, so I don't know.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31OK. We'll say clutch.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Clutch is your answer. Kevin, you don't drive?- I don't drive.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Have you ever had a car?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Yeah, OK, in a technical sense,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I've twice won cars.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- What do you do with them when you win them?- Sell them.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Right. OK.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Biting point is the clutch.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Well done. All right, so, 2-2.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55Challengers, get this right and who knows? The wheels could come off.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Kevin doesn't even have any wheels. Here's your question.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03Haiphong is a port and major industrial centre
0:25:03 > 0:25:06in the northern part of which country?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I think I remember there's a connection with the Vietnam War.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- The Vietnam War? Haiphong. - Bombed it, didn't they?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19I think they did, yes.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22We think definitely Vietnam?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Not definitely, but... - Say, 90%?
0:25:25 > 0:25:26- 90%.- 90%.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28So, shall we go Vietnam?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30We think it's Vietnam.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Vietnam is your answer, because, Robin, you remember
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- it being bombed, is that right? - Somewhere in there, yes.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38That's good enough, Vietnam is right.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Well done.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44So, Eggheads, get this one wrong
0:25:44 > 0:25:47and I don't even want to think about what happens.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53A journalist named Chris Evans was in 2014 appointed
0:25:53 > 0:25:58weekday editor of which national newspaper?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Ah.- So, if the Sun doesn't have a...
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I mean, there is... I don't know this, I have to say.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14But my thinking would be the word weekday is significant there
0:26:14 > 0:26:17because there's the Sun On Sunday,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21which is the thing that more or less replaced the old News Of The World.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- There's the Sunday Telegraph. - There's also the Sunday Telegraph.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28And there's the Sunday Mail too. The Mail On Sunday.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32It is the Sun On Sunday, but it's sort of officially called the Sun.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34So there's obviously a clear distinction
0:26:34 > 0:26:37between the Daily Mail and Mail On Sunday.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39And between Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42But not between Sun and Sunday Sun.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Hence the significance of the word weekday.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- I don't know, I don't know this. - Well, that's what...
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I picked up weekday.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I mean, weekday editor must mean
0:26:53 > 0:26:56the actual editor of the...newspaper,
0:26:56 > 0:27:01so I don't think that's the name of the Daily Telegraph's editor.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03And the Daily Mail, I don't think it is either.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I think that's Paul Baker.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08I can't remember who the Telegraph editor is.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I'm inclined to think... I don't know that it's the Sun,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13but I'm inclined to think it is.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Shall we just go for the Sun?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I think we'd be tying ourselves in knots
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- if we did anything else, really, on this one.- Yeah.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21OK, I'm happy to go with it
0:27:21 > 0:27:23as we don't know for sure.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25All right, we're not entirely sure,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27as you can see,
0:27:27 > 0:27:28but we'd like to go for the Sun.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32The Sun is your answer.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I guess it's the industry I work in
0:27:34 > 0:27:36and I would not have known this.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Do you know this?- No.- No idea.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41So they all have a weekday and a Sunday operation.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Paul Baker, it's true, is the editor of the Daily Mail.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46So we're down to the Sun and the Telegraph.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49And it's true, the Sun obviously has a Sunday edition
0:27:49 > 0:27:50that replaced the News Of The World,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52so they are a seven-day operation.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54But you've gone the wrong way,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56the answer is the Daily Telegraph.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00We say congratulations, Challengers, you have won.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Yes, what about that?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Well done, that's how it works, you know.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13And you got all your questions right, which was necessary.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Your Vietnam answer was brilliant there.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18What can I say, Eggheads? There we are.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Congratulations to Peter's Griffin, you've won £4,000,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads
0:28:23 > 0:28:25who slipped up on that journalism question.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27You've proved they can be beaten for sure
0:28:27 > 0:28:30and they were just getting themselves back together.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Oh, well, never mind.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:34 > 0:28:37will be just as successful. Until then, goodbye.
