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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:34 > 0:00:35are 5000-1.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37This team of friends all share
0:00:37 > 0:00:39a passion for Leicester City
0:00:39 > 0:00:42football club and take their name from the odds Leicester were
0:00:42 > 0:00:45given to win the 2015/16 football season.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46We all know what happened.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello, my name's Colin and I'm a sales manager.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Adam, and I'm a finance director.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, my name's Nick and I'm a retired firefighter.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Pete, I'm an area manager for an agricultural company.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Michael, and I'm a company owner.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05So, Colin and team, welcome.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- ALL:- Hello.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09And, from all of us, I think, congratulations to Leicester.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Wasn't it amazing?- Thank you. - You all big fans of the team?
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Very big.- Very big fans of the team. - I know you are, Colin.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Because... You must tell people how we met.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23We met through a meeting at Chelsea versus Leicester,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26which was the final game of the 15/16 season.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28That's right. I thought, wouldn't it be great, because I take my
0:01:28 > 0:01:32daughter, to meet a dad who takes his daughter to Leicester?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We could go out for lunch before and I could find out,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37we could all listen to how they'd done it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40So, Colin and his daughter, Charlotte, we went out for lunch
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- and you gave us a description of all your great players.- Yes. - It was fantastic.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Yes, and we filled in on Richard III as well.- Yes, that's right.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Ah, now, this is interesting because Richard III and Leicester,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54quizzers, what do we know?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- He was found in a car park.- Exactly. - But his car was never found.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00LAUGHTER
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- It had been towed.- He hadn't paid the ticket.- It'd been taken away.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05All right, so, listen, good luck, Challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Great to see you again, Colin. - Thank you.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challenging team.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money
0:02:13 > 0:02:14rolls over to the next show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18So, 5000-1, you might get longer odds on the Eggheads at the moment,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21because they've only won their last game,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23so there's £2,000 to win today.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25And would you like to get cracking?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Yes, please.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29First head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- So, who would like Politics?- I think Michael.- Didn't we say Michael?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Michael, are you going to take Politics?- Are you sure?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:02:38 > 0:02:39I'll give it a go.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43OK, Michael, and you can choose any Egghead, including the two
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- newest we've got for you.- I'll try Steve, the new one.- Go Steve, yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- He's new.- OK.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52All right. I'm not sure whether we've done Politics.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- No, I've not. No.- All right. We're learning, we're going to find out.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- New territory. Yes.- We don't know what he's like on Politics.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Michael, from 5000-1, versus Steve, one of the newest Eggheads.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in
0:03:05 > 0:03:06the Question Room.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- So, they've got you on Politics, Michael?- Yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Seems like it wasn't quite your choice.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, no, it wouldn't be my first pick, Jeremy.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'm thinking you're more of a history guy.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Well, I enjoy history, yeah,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22so I'd probably be slightly better on history.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25OK, Michael, would you like to go first or second on Politics?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Second, please.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Here we go with you, Steve. Going to see what you're made of.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Which expression means an instruction to Members of
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Parliament to attend an important vote?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Steve, is it...?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Credit to whoever thought these choices up, but it's
0:03:49 > 0:03:50a three-line whip, Jeremy.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52It is a three-line whip.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Michael, which of these things
0:03:54 > 0:03:56must be invoked by any country
0:03:56 > 0:03:59wishing to withdraw from the European Union?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06That's Article 50, Jeremy.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yes, suddenly everyone's talking about it. You're right.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Article 50. Steve, back to you.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Of which South American country did Michel Temer become the acting
0:04:17 > 0:04:19president in May 2016?
0:04:19 > 0:04:20And Temer is T-E-M-E-R.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Acting president, which means they may be a stand-in for somebody else,
0:04:28 > 0:04:35so again, I've obviously missed this one, but maybe it was for
0:04:35 > 0:04:38a limited period of time and they have been since replaced,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41so purely on the basis I know that Kirchner stood down in
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Argentina, I'll say Argentina.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49Argentina is your answer. Do you know this one, Michael? Is he right?
0:04:49 > 0:04:55- I would be stabbing at Bolivia. - Right.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59In my mind is that Brazil has had some horrendous massive
0:04:59 > 0:05:02meltdown of the government for reasons I can't remember.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Is that right, Barry?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07The Petrobras scandal, people have been taking bribes at senior
0:05:07 > 0:05:08ministerial positions.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Yeah, it comes down to this big scandal in Brazil, Steve.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Brazil is the answer.- Yeah. Fair enough.- Game on, guys.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Get this right, you're in the lead, Michael.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23The presidential retreat known as Camp David is
0:05:23 > 0:05:26located in which US state?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Is this...?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I don't think it's Massachusetts.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Maryland is where Washington is, so it wouldn't be a retreat.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- I think I'd have to go for Maine. - Eggheads?- Maryland.- Maryland.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Maryland is the answer.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48OK, so, Steve, you got a slight let-off there.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Mm. Massive.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Your third question - what expression refers to the time at
0:05:53 > 0:05:57which the main business in the House of Commons ends on any given day?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Is it...?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Right, I've not heard this before.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Again, I'm going to have to just go on
0:06:10 > 0:06:13a hunch based on the sound of the phrase.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I'll try, with no great conviction, moment of interruption.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Yes, moment of interruption is correct.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24These funny arcane phrases they use.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Right, over to you, Michael.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30The shoe is on the other foot here slightly. You've got to get this one right now.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34In which country did the freedom movement that later became
0:06:34 > 0:06:36the political party Swapo originate?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45I'm pretty sure it wasn't Egypt. I'm going to go for South Africa.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48It's wrong, I'm afraid.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Sorry, Michael, Namibia is the answer and Steve is through to the
0:06:51 > 0:06:52final round.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Your first dose of politics with us, Steve.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- I need to brush up a bit, I think. - Please come back and we'll play on.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So, as it stands, 5000-1 have lost a brain from the final round,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- but then the season started a difficult way, didn't it?- Yeah.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11And we know what happened, so you can take the title here.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Eggheads are still sitting pretty there. The next subject is Music.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18So, who would like this? Obviously not Michael.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Colin?- Not me.- Colin.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Colin.- That's me.- Colin. OK. - Come on.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Against which Egghead? And it can't be Steve.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- So you can choose anyone.- Yes. - Let's go for Pat.- Patrick, please.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34OK, Colin, from 5000-1, versus Pat, from the Eggheads.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44So, Colin, I'm trying to remember the day we met, what the score was.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46It was a fair result. It was 1-1.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50It was one of those funny games right at the end of your season
0:07:50 > 0:07:53and you'd won the Premiership and it was just a huge party really.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It was a big party and there was very big parties shortly
0:07:56 > 0:07:57afterwards as well.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And, in fact, some of us are still partying.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01JEREMY LAUGHS
0:08:01 > 0:08:03OK. On Music, Colin, good luck to you,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05would you like to go first or second?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Here we go, then, Colin. Good luck.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18Which group's album Natty Dread entered the UK charts in 1975?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28So, Natty Dread. I've actually no idea.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33But with the Dread, maybe the dreadlocks is a clue.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38So I think I'm going to rule out Sly And The Family Stone.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I shall rule out The Jacksons.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47And go for Bob Marley And The Wailers, please, Jeremy.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51That's very good, yeah, Bob Marley And The Wailers it is.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54OK, Pat, your first question.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57In which US city did the musical and cultural movement known as
0:08:57 > 0:08:59hip-hop originate?
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Is it...?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's definitely east coast, urban,
0:09:06 > 0:09:11so I think I'll eliminate Dallas and San Diego and I'll go for New York.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15New York is correct. Well done.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Colin, your question.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21"When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,"
0:09:21 > 0:09:24is the opening line to which 1979 hit for Supertramp?
0:09:30 > 0:09:36I'm going to rule out Dreamer and I'm going to go for
0:09:36 > 0:09:40The Logical Song because it may be the logical answer.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41JEREMY LAUGHS
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Very good. Can you sing it for us?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47# When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful... #
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That's it. You've got it.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53# A miracle Oh, it was beautiful, magical. #
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Yeah, you're absolutely right. Well done.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59The word logical comes into it somewhere. Logical Song is right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02OK, Pat, what term is used to describe a style of 1980s
0:10:02 > 0:10:08rock music characterised by distortions or imperfections?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Well, lo-fi, as opposed to hi-fi,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19certainly satisfies the imperfections part of the question.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I'm not certain of this, but I'll go for lo-fi.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Yep, lo-fi is right.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25That is what it says on the tin.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27OK, Colin, third question here.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Get this one right, put a bit of pressure on Pat,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32known as the Silent Destroyer.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35By what name is the DJ and producer
0:10:35 > 0:10:38born Thomas Wesley Pentz better-known?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40And Pentz, Colin, is P-E-N-T-Z.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I've got this feeling...
0:10:51 > 0:10:52..that it could be...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'm going to go for Avicii.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Team-mates, do you know?- No idea. - No?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01It's a difficult question.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'm pretty sure it's Skrillex.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06So Beth is saying Skrillex. Anyone else? Dave, come on.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I would've...gone for Skrillex,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11but I wouldn't have a certainty about it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Basically, it is not Avicii, and there's a leaning for Skrillex.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15But it's not Skrillex either - it's Diplo.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Aw!- It's a very hard question.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Bad luck.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22OK, for the round, Pat,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25which composer did Rossini describe as having
0:11:25 > 0:11:28"beautiful moments, but awful quarters of an hour"?
0:11:32 > 0:11:39This man has taken quite a few jibes about the length of his operas.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I listen to him occasionally. I think that's Wagner.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Wagner is the right answer. Well done, Pat. Three out of three.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Sorry, Colin, he does do that.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52He is very good. So you've been beaten by our Egghead,
0:11:52 > 0:11:53and Pat will be in the final.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Please return to us and re-join your teams.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01So, 5000-1 have lost a second brain from the final round.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02They lost a skipper, Colin.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04The Eggheads are still sitting there.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Let's see if you can get in amongst them now, get the midfield playing.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10The next subject is Food And Drink.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12So, who would like this?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- That would be me, yeah.- Pete.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17OK, so it's going to be Pete against which Egghead?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Barry has a knowledge of everything.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Yeah, Barry is The Knowledge, isn't he?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- It is a tough one.- Dave. - I think Dave.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I think Dave, too. We'll go Dave.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Pete from 5000-1, Dave from the Eggheads,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33please go to our Question Room now.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38So, let's play Food And Drink, Pete. Do you want to go first or second?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45OK. Here is your first question, Pete.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Which of these is a popular tea-time cake in the UK?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Well, I've never heard of orange pekoe.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I certainly haven't eaten it at tea-time.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Plum duff is something quite heavy
0:13:03 > 0:13:07which you have after a meal, I would've thought.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09So lemon drizzle is a particular favourite.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'll go with lemon drizzle, Jeremy.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Lemon drizzle is correct. Dave, over to you.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Mark Twain once wrote that which vegetable was
0:13:17 > 0:13:20"nothing but cabbage with a college education"?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It's a cauliflower.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Cauliflower is right.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Pete,
0:13:28 > 0:13:32what name is given to the process of heating then cooling chocolate
0:13:32 > 0:13:34to give it a better consistency?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Um...
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I didn't get the body of an athlete by avoiding chocolate,
0:13:42 > 0:13:43so let's have a look.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Creaming, I can discount.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Assuaging, um...
0:13:49 > 0:13:52..is persuading it to change, perhaps,
0:13:52 > 0:13:53and giving it a good talking to.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I will go with tempering, Jeremy.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Yeah, tempering is right.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59So two out of two so far. Playing well.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Dave, your question.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Which of the following is a general term for a Vietnamese noodle soup?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Right, I'm going to rule out soba.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Right, the more I'm going to think about, I'll keep going 50-50.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24So...let's have a think. Nam...
0:14:24 > 0:14:25No. I'm going to go pho.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Peter, is he right?- I think so.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Yeah.- I'd go for pho.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31I think it's pronounced "fur".
0:14:31 > 0:14:33So, that's the right answer.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Two each, Pete, to you.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39What is the largest wine-producing region in France by area?
0:14:45 > 0:14:50Bordeaux, there's a lot of wine produced in Bordeaux, obviously.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55Cotes Du Rhone is, I think, home to the producer of Chateauneuf.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Perhaps...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02My instinct is telling me Bordeaux.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I'll go with Bordeaux, Jeremy.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- The answer is Languedoc-Roussillon. CHALLENGERS:- Oh!
0:15:06 > 0:15:09That is hard.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12OK, Dave, your question.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16What type of food is the Italian dessert zeppole?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I've not heard of this.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Um...
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I am more inclined to go down the middle, though,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32just by the word, with fruit pudding.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- No, it's a fried doughnut. - Oh, right. Fair play.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37We go to Sudden Death, Pete.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39That's a little bit of a let-off there,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42but you need to press the advantage now.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47Toby Cecchini is credited with making which vodka-based cocktail,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50popular in New York City in the late 1980s?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I don't think it's right, but I'll go with Cosmopolitan.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56I'm not even sure if that's vodka-based,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58but I will go with Cosmopolitan, Jeremy.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Cosmopolitan is the right answer. Quizzing well.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04OK, excellent play.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Dave, over to you. To stay in...
0:16:05 > 0:16:08The coffee cultivar bourbon pointu
0:16:08 > 0:16:11was originally grown on which island?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Uh...
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Coffee cultivar? - The coffee cultivar.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- I'm going to go with Tahiti. - Tahiti is your answer.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24The island in question was originally called
0:16:24 > 0:16:26the Ile de Bourbon.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Does that help you at all? Does that jog something?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Was it Reunion?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Yes, it's Reunion.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Reunion, or "ray-union"!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Well done, Pete, you're in the final round. Well done.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Leicester turning it around here.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39So, please come back to us,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46So, 5000-1 have lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49but they've bitten back now, and the Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51The next subject is Art And Books.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Who would like this? - Arts And Books...
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Someone's going to have to take one for the team on this.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- I'll take it, if you want, yeah. I'll take it.- Adam.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03OK, Adam, finance director, against which Egghead?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06And you can have either Beth or Barry.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Do you think Barry? - Yeah, I'd go for Beth.- Beth?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11We'll take you, Beth, please.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15OK. I thought I was hearing Barry and it suddenly changed to Beth.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17He's going to be so disappointed. LAUGHTER
0:17:17 > 0:17:22So, Adam from 5000-1 is playing Beth from the Eggheads
0:17:22 > 0:17:23on Arts And Books,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26and, please, for the last time, go to our special Question Room.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31We're going to do Arts And Books, and Adam, first or second?
0:17:31 > 0:17:32I'll take first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Here is your first question, Adam. Good luck.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Which former Prime Minister is the central character
0:17:41 > 0:17:45in Tom Bower's 2016 biography Broken Vows?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I'm siding towards Winston Churchill.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I think...I don't remember...
0:17:57 > 0:17:58..too much done on John Major.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Tony Blair...potential.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04But I'm definitely siding more with Winston Churchill.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'm going to go Winston Churchill, Jeremy.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09It is Tony Blair.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12OK, over to you, Beth.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16In addition to portraits, with which genre of painting
0:18:16 > 0:18:19is Thomas Gainsborough particularly associated?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Ooh...
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I don't think he did religious paintings. So that's out.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31So it's between the two.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36He did some...exceptional portraits.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40I think he also did landscapes, though.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42So landscapes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Landscape...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45is the right answer. Well done.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47OK, over to you, Adam.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50The Crime Writers' Association Steel Dagger Award
0:18:50 > 0:18:54for the best UK thriller is named after which author?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Again, it's not one...not one I know.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I'm going to go with what my gut told me to start off with.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I think Ian Fleming.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Yeah, really glad you did. It's right. Ian Fleming.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13All right. Beth,
0:19:13 > 0:19:14your question.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18What term is commonly used to describe a style of English pottery
0:19:18 > 0:19:21that has been decorated with liquid clay?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31I think that the liquid clay is known as slip,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33so I'll go with slipware.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Very good. Slipware is right. Two out of two.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38And we go back to you, Adam.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- You need to get this one right to stay in.- OK.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Hester Collyer and Freddie Page are characters
0:19:44 > 0:19:47in which play by Terence Rattigan?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Not a play...not a play I know.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I'm going to go with The Deep Blue Sea,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01but it's a pure guess on this one.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03The Deep Blue Sea is the right answer.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07So, good play, Adam, two out of three.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10But you'll be knocked out if Beth gets her third question right.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Beth, over to you.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Who runs the orphanage in the Roald Dahl tale The BFG?
0:20:20 > 0:20:26Well, Miss Trunchbull ran the school in which Matilda was a pupil.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Mrs Bucket is the mother of Charlie
0:20:28 > 0:20:30in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33so Mrs Clonkers must run the orphanage.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Yes, very good elimination, and you're right on every count.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Mrs Clonkers it is. You've got your third question right.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Sorry, Adam, it wasn't quite enough there.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43But come back to us, both of you,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46and we will play the all-important final round.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50So, some stout play here from 5000-1.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52This is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56It is time for the final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:20:59 > 0:21:01allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04So that is Colin, Adam and Michael from 5000-1
0:21:04 > 0:21:06and Dave from the Eggheads.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Nick and Pete, you're playing to win 5000-1 £2,000.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Pat, Beth, Steve and Barry, you're playing for something that
0:21:16 > 0:21:19money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27You may confer. So, gentlemen, the question is,
0:21:27 > 0:21:32can your two brains defeat these four Eggy ones?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Nick and Pete, first or second?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Shall we go first or second, Pete?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- I think first, Nick. - Yeah, we'll go first, please.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Good luck.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45And here we go with your first question.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50What is the common name for the style of the 19th and 20th century
0:21:50 > 0:21:55domestic architecture that imitates that of the 16th century in England?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Mock Tudor. - Has to be Mock Tudor.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Mock Tudor, Nick. - Yeah, we'll say Mock Tudor, please.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Yeah, Mock Tudor's right.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Very good. False Norman would be good as well.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15OK, Eggheads, here we go.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Mainly used in the south-west of England,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22the word grockle is a mildly derogatory term
0:22:22 > 0:22:24for which one of these?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- That's a tourist. - Definitely tourist.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- It's the Cornish for ant, isn't it? - Is that what it is?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- There's some connection like that. - Yeah, I've heard that as well.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42We think it might be a reference to ants, but the answer is tourists,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45cos maybe tourists flock, come in groups like ants.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Tourist is right.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51OK. How nice would it have been for them to get that one wrong?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Just give you a downhill slope. But they don't do that very often.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Here is your question.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00In which European city would you find the Fluntern Cemetery,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03the burial place of James Joyce?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09James Joyce...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Irish.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Born in Ireland. I've...
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Not Vienna. Certainly not Berlin. I think he was buried in Zurich.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- He died in Zurich, he was buried in Zurich.- Yeah?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Pete's confident it's Zurich.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Well, that came with impressive confidence. It's absolutely right.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Well done.- Zurich is right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Eggheads, in the early episodes of the TV series Magnum PI,
0:23:35 > 0:23:40who provided the voice of Magnum's employer, Robin Masters?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Well, I thought it was Orson Welles.- Well...
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Did John Forsythe take over?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52He was Charlie's Angels, John Forsythe.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- OK.- Definitely Orson Welles.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- The only one's Orson Welles? - Yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00We think, before he moved into sherry adverts,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02it was Orson Welles.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Yeah. So he ended up, you're absolutely right,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07as the voice of Magnum's employer, Robin Masters.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Orson Welles.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Back to you, with the scores equal.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Which country announced it would reward its national football players
0:24:16 > 0:24:21with diplomatic passports after winning a game at Euro 2016?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Oh, I would say Albania. Would you say Albania?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Before it came up, I was thinking Albania.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32We think it's Albania.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Albania is your answer, for three out of three.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Albania is right.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40So, Eggheads, here we are again with the pressure on.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44But you're used to the pressure. Let's see if you can take it now.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Which strait links the Gulf of Riga with the Baltic Sea?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Well, the Bering Strait is between America and the USA
0:24:57 > 0:25:01and I think the Karimata Strait is...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Karimata, it sounds Indonesia or Japan.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08- It doesn't sound... - It's East Asian, I think, Karimata.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I think it has to be the Irben Strait.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- On balance, I prefer Irben. - Right then, go for it.- OK.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Well, we know it's certainly not the Bering Strait and we're
0:25:19 > 0:25:22pretty certain the Karimata Strait is somewhere in East Asia,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24so we'll go for the Irben Strait.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Irben Strait is indeed the answer.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Three out of three for both teams.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The scores are level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35It gets a bit harder - I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36And here is your question.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42The KWP is the primary political organisation of which country?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Think about it logically. KWP.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Kuwait? Kenya?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Political parties...- This is really shooting from the hip, isn't it?
0:25:52 > 0:25:53- I don't think we know.- No.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Eastern European...? No.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I think it would be an African country.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- I don't think we've got this one nailed, have we?- No.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I think first instinct, first guess, best guess.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Kurdistan?- No.- No.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Oh, we'll be kicking ourselves. - Yeah.- No. Go with your first guess.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Do you think so?- I think so. We might as well.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15We'll jointly... Yeah.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16We'll say Kenya.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Anyone know here?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Could it be North Korea? - Yeah, North Korea.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- It's the Korean... - Korean Workers' Party.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Well, I'm guessing Korean Workers' Party,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26but North Korea is the answer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29OK, Eggheads, get this right and you've won the contest.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33To which continent is the water buffalo native?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35The water buffalo. Is it from India?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I was just thinking Asia.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I think they're Asian, India's in Southeast Asia.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Africa, we get the Cape buffalo, don't we?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43There's Cape buffalo in Africa.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46It's in Africa. Water buffalo...
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- You've obviously got your standard buffalo in North America.- Yeah.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51That's why I've got confused now.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- We'll use that one then. - I think it's Asia.- Yeah.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- OK, are we happy with that?- Yeah.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59OK, well, the common or garden buffalo we think is North American.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02In South Africa they do have a buffalo,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04but it's known as the Cape buffalo.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07But we think the water buffalo is common in India,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10maybe in Southeast Asia, and so we'll go for Asia.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Scoping the whole world there with their buffaloes.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16It's quite impressive, actually. The answer is Asia.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19We say congratulations. On Sudden Death, you've won.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28It was good, that, because I think a lot of people would have gone
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- straight for Africa on that. - First instinct, Africa, yeah.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35It's almost a trick question there, because you think buffalo,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- you think... - I was in Africa in January
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- and I saw Cape buffaloes, so... - Yeah.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41OK, commiserations to 5000-1.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It has been fantastic to play with Colin and all the team.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Thank you, Colin, for coming, for your team here.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Hope you've enjoyed it, guys. - Thank you.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50You know I was willing you to do
0:27:50 > 0:27:52what Leicester did in the Premiership...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- So were we.- ..and snatch it away.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them -
0:27:56 > 0:27:57fairly naturally, anyway.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59They still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It does mean our Challengers are not going home with the £2,000
0:28:02 > 0:28:05so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Getting into your stride now, I think.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:11 > 0:28:14can just have the extra push and take the money.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17£3,000 says they won't do it. Till then, goodbye.
