0:00:04 > 0:00:07These 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 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads, the show where
0:00:24 > 0:00:26a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:26 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads, with new member Beth on the end.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Yes.- How's it going?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Yeah, not too bad so far. - Good, good, good.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- And, Eggs, are you happy to quiz?- Yes.- Always.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41They're always happy to quiz.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Taking on our quiz champions today are the...
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Now, this family team from across Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire
0:00:48 > 0:00:52quiz together at The Village Swan in Ivinghoe, Aston.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Caz and I'm an aerospace recruitment consultant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Rich and I'm a travel sales director.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Judi and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hello, I'm Martin and I'm a retired deputy head teacher.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Ken and I'm a retired engineer.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14So, Caz and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And, Caz, you're all related in some way, is that right?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- We are, yes. - Can you take me through it?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Rich is my husband, Judi and Martin are his parents,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- and that's my dad on the end. - OK, good stuff.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- And do you guys watch Eggheads? - Yes, we do.- Always.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29All right, so you know what's going on here.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Good luck to you all.- Thank you.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:33 > 0:01:36for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40So, Beds Bucks Borderers,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43the Eggheads have won the last three games. You can see they are getting
0:01:43 > 0:01:45into their stride and you've got to stop them.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48There's £4,000 on the table if you do.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Would you like to try? - Oh, yes.- Yes, definitely.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Good stuff. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, which one of you would like this?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Ken.- It's Ken.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Oh, it appears to be me.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Ken, our retired engineer against which Egghead?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Any of them including our newest one, Beth?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Definitely not Beth. - Definitely not Beth, no, no.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Let's give the new girl a chance.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Right. So it was going to be not Beth and now it is Beth. OK.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17So, Ken from Beds Bucks Borderers versus Beth.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19What was your degree in, Beth?
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Microbiology.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Microbiology. OK.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26But you're an engineer, so let's see how this works.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:02:29 > 0:02:31in the Question Room?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34On Science, Ken, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I think first would be safer.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40All right, good luck to you.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Approximately how many litres of saliva
0:02:44 > 0:02:48does a typical human mouth produce in one day?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Well, I'd have to be quite a drinker to drink 50-60 to get rid of.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I think 1-2 would be safer.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Yeah, 1-2 is right.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Well done, Ken.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Beth, your question.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Which of these animals is typically warm-blooded?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Well, crocodile is certainly not.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'm pretty sure a tortoise isn't either,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19so let's go with dolphin.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Dolphin is right. Back to you, Ken.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Which of these planets is the largest?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Well, I think Earth would be the smaller one.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I think I'd better go for Neptune.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Saturn is the largest, Ken. Sorry about that.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Back to Beth.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Which marine term can follow slipper, spiny, Spanish
0:03:49 > 0:03:53and shovel-nosed to make the names of various creatures?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Can you read those out again for me, please?
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Which marine term can follow slipper, spiny, Spanish
0:04:04 > 0:04:09and shovel-nosed to make the names of various creatures?
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Now, I think Judith has a little thing with marine animals,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18so, if in doubt, say shark. I really think the only one
0:04:18 > 0:04:22of those that would have any sort of snout is a shark, so shark.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- It's lobster, Beth. - Oh, well, there you go!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- How about that, Ken, a slight let-off...- Yes.- ..for the engineer?
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Try and get this one right.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34The chemical elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
0:04:34 > 0:04:37are often collectively known as NPK
0:04:37 > 0:04:40when referring to their use in which area?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I cannot imagine it could be computer hard drives.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I think it's got to be fertilisers.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57The correct answer is fertilisers. Well done, Ken. Two out of three.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Nicely played. Let's see if you've knocked Beth out. Beth, to stay in.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Which of these chemical elements is often used in the manufacture
0:05:04 > 0:05:08of pacemakers due to its inert nature?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Sodium is certainly not inert.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Tantalum, I think that's a rare earth metal,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22quite far down in the periodic table.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25So it's definitely between tantalum and erbium.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I tell you, it's going to be highly embarrassing
0:05:27 > 0:05:30if I lose the Science round.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35I'm erring more towards erbium than tantalum.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let's go with erbium.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Erbium. Now, let's see. Dave, do you know?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42You're looking like you do.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Erm, I'm not that sure but I would have gone tantalum myself.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- But tantalum's used in quite a lot of different things.- Is it?- Yes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Pat, you've got any thoughts?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I think tantalum is used in mobile devices.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Tantalum is used in mobile phones?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58And there's an ore called coltan that contains tantalum.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03It's a strategic ore. It's dug up in places like the DRC.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Not looking good, is it?- It's not looking good. It is tantalum, Beth.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I'm sorry, you've been knocked out by Ken. Well done, Ken.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- How about that?- That's not a bad start, is it?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13The engineer wins on Science.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16You've taken on an Egghead, you've emerged triumphant.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19You will be in the final round. Good start for our Challengers.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Please come back, rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26All right. As it stands, Beds Bucks Borderers have not lost a brain.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Well done, Ken. And the Eggs have lost one
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and the next subject for you is Geography.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33So who would like this?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I think... I think it will be the former geography teacher.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You had to pause and think about that?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Well... No, it will be you, Martin, yeah?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Yes.- OK, Martin, our retired deputy headmaster
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- against which Egghead?- I think I'll choose Lisa, please, Jeremy.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Martin from Beds Bucks Borderers versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54And just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57please go to our famous Question Room.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Well, Martin, I know you know Route 66.- I certainly do.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Tell us why.- Because I hitchhiked all the way down
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- from Chicago to LA in 1965. - All right.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Well, if Route 66 comes up, you're a lucky man,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13but we're on geography, and you were a geography teacher.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- PE and geography, yes. - Oh, PE and geography?- Yes.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Would you like to go first or second, Martin?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18I'll go first, please.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25And here we go. The village known as Llanfair PG,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28famous for its 58-letter name,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31is in which part of the United Kingdom?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I think it's on an island to the north of Wales.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39So, we'll say Wales.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Yeah, Wales is bang on.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Do you know the full name?- My wife would be able to do it for you,
0:07:45 > 0:07:46because she is from Wales.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Judi, can you do it?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndro- bwllllantysiliogogogoch.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Gogogoch.- And I come from Swansea.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Brilliant. That's very good. It is Wales.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01All right, Lisa, your question.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Sydney is a city in which Australian state?
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Brace yourself, Jeremy.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I might be about to get an Australian geography question right.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Sydney's in New South Wales.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Well, how did you do that?
0:08:18 > 0:08:19I've been there.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22OK, so you've been swotting up, haven't you?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- I have.- All right. Back to you, Martin.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Which of these ski resorts is in Switzerland?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Oh...
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I do go skiing, so I think Innsbruck's in Austria.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41And Courchevel, Gstaad...
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I think it's Gstaad.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Gstaad is quite right. Well done.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50So, second question to you, Miss Thiel.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Approximately what percentage of the land area of the United Kingdom
0:08:53 > 0:08:55is made up by Scotland?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I don't know. I mean, I don't think it's as much as 50,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04because that seems a lot, and, you know, once you start getting up
0:09:04 > 0:09:07to the top bit though, it gets quite narrow.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10But, again, ten seems awfully small.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Is it safe just to go straight for 30 or have I sort of overestimated
0:09:15 > 0:09:18the size of Scotland?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21No, do you know what? This is revenge for the fact
0:09:21 > 0:09:23that every time I drive to Glasgow,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26when you get over the Scottish border, there is still 90 miles
0:09:26 > 0:09:28to go to Glasgow, and you're like,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31"No, I'm sure Scotland is smaller than this,"
0:09:31 > 0:09:33so I can't be overestimating it. I'll go for 30.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Yes, you're right, 30% it is. Two each. Back to you, Ken.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40After Great Britain,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42which is the largest island in Europe?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I don't think it's Ireland.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Iceland or Sardinia.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57I think I'd go for Iceland, Jeremy.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It is indeed Iceland.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02So, Lisa, to stay in,
0:10:02 > 0:10:06the exclusive resort of Necker Island, owned by Richard Branson,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08is in which body of water?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Oh, thank goodness. I thought the Pacific was going to come up,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18and then I would have been in trouble.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19I don't think it's Mediterranean.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I suppose it could be an Indian Ocean one,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24but I think it's a Caribbean one.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26That tends to be where, you know, if you're the sort of man
0:10:26 > 0:10:29that has a few billion to spare on buying an island,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32they tend to have few more going in the Caribbean than the Indian Ocean.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35No, go on, first thought, Caribbean Sea.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Yes, part of the British Virgin Islands, so you're quite right,
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Caribbean it is. Three each. We go to Sudden Death, Martin.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Gets a bit harder. I don't give you different options.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Here's your question.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Which Scottish river flows from Loch Dochfour at the top of Loch Ness
0:10:49 > 0:10:55to Inverness before discharging into the Beauly Firth?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Oh, my goodness me.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Which Scottish river flows from Loch Dochfour
0:11:01 > 0:11:05at the top of Loch Ness to Inverness
0:11:05 > 0:11:09before discharging into the Beauly Firth?
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I'll have to have a guess here, I'm afraid.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14I have to say the Tay.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Yeah, you're going to be so cross with yourself when I tell you this.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21It goes from Loch Ness to Inverness,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23so the river is the Ness.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Oh!- That's one of those clue is in the question things.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30OK, Lisa, for the round.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Which collective name is given to the US states
0:11:32 > 0:11:36of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
0:11:36 > 0:11:38and Connecticut?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I don't want to change the world.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I think the answer I'm looking for is New England.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Your Billy Bragg quote will have gone over the head
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- of so many people, but not me. - I know, it's why I did it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51You did it for me.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54New England, as well as being the title of a Billy Bragg song
0:11:54 > 0:11:55is the answer. Well done, Lisa.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57On Sudden Death you've won the round.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Sorry, Martin.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01You've been knocked out by our Egghead,
0:12:01 > 0:12:04and as a result you can't help your team in the final round.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Please return, rejoin your team-mates,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and we'll see what happens next.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11So, as it stands, Beds Bucks Borderers -
0:12:11 > 0:12:14thanks for the unpronounceable name, by the way -
0:12:14 > 0:12:16have lost a brain from the final round.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19The Eggheads have lost one as well, so pretty evenly matched so far.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21And the next subject for you is Film and TV.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- So who would like this, Caz? - That's Rich.- That would be me, then.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28OK, Rich, our sales director, against which Egghead?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Can't be Beth or Lisa.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Pat, would we go Pat?- Chris?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Chris, Chris, I think. - Yeah, go Chris.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- We'll try Chris.- All right.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Rich from Beds Bucks Borderers against the great Chris,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45known as the locomotive, from the Eggheads.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions
0:12:47 > 0:12:49in the Question Room.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Film and TV, Rich, do you want to go first or second?
0:12:53 > 0:12:54I'll go first, Jeremy, thank you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00And here we go. Good luck.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Who played the role of Angie Watts in EastEnders?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Angie Watts...
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I think... Dirty Den, Angie Watts...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I'm going to go with Anita Dobson.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Yes, it is the wonderful Anita Dobson. Well done.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Married to, do you know?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Somebody famous.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It doesn't spring to mind.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- I'm sure Chris will know. - No.- Brian May.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- You don't know, Chris?- No. - Brian May.- Caz knows.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Yes, Brian May of Queen. Yes.- Yes, yes.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36OK, Chris. In which year did Patrick Troughton
0:13:36 > 0:13:39first play the Doctor on Doctor Who?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Well, Doctor Who started in 1963
0:13:46 > 0:13:49with William Hartnell as the First Doctor.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51And three years after that,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Patrick Troughton took over, so it's 1966.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Yeah, '66 is quite right. And I was looking,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59they've got a bit of a display of the BBC's history
0:13:59 > 0:14:03inside BBC HQ, and it seems to be almost the same week
0:14:03 > 0:14:05as the JFK assassination.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Is that right?- Yeah. - So it was November '63-ish.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah. Interesting. OK.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Back to you, Rich. Who played the role
0:14:12 > 0:14:17of the Marshall Will Caine in the classic Western High Noon?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Oh, High Noon...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I've got to say, Jeremy, this is a bit before my time.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'm erring towards John Wayne.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32But... Gary Cooper...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Definitely not Gary Cooper.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I'm going to stick with John Wayne. John Wayne.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Let's see, Martin, do you know this one?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Who do you think?- I think it's the middle one.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Yeah, it is Gary Cooper.- Oh...!
0:14:45 > 0:14:47It's the... I know it's a long time ago, but Chris,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49it's one of those films, isn't it?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Yeah, it is one of those films everybody's seen, yeah.- Yeah,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54because it's the sheriff who takes on the gangsters.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Yeah. Well, it's a load of nonsense, really,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58cos a whole town full of people,
0:14:58 > 0:14:59most of whom have come through the Civil War
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and can handle a gun, are supposed to have a fit of the vapours
0:15:02 > 0:15:05cos a bunch of gunslingers are coming to town. Rubbish!
0:15:05 > 0:15:08So they all, what - they all go missing and it's left to Gary?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10It's all down to Gary Cooper to face them down, yeah.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13OK. Chris,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition"
0:15:15 > 0:15:18is a famous line from which TV comedy series?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26"Trouble at t'mill." It's Monty Python's Flying Circus.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30You could probably quote the whole sketch. Monty Python is correct.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32OK, so third question to you, Rich,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35you need to get this right to stay in. Which Oscar-winning film
0:15:35 > 0:15:39was based on the true story of a man named Solomon Northup?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Now... I have no idea,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50this is going to have to be a complete guess...
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Solomon...
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I'm going to go with 12 Years a Slave.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- 12 Years a Slave is quite right. - Yay!- Nice one.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03So you've drawn level with Chris,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05but he can take the round with his third question.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Chris, Issur Danielovitch
0:16:08 > 0:16:11is the original name of which actor, born in 1916?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Issur Danielovitch is Kirk Douglas.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20How do you know this stuff?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Just do.- You just do?- Yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Kirk Douglas is the right answer, you've taken the round.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27with three correct questions,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- well played, Chris. Good player, Rich, isn't he?- Not half.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Classic films he's very good on,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34and Monty Python. And Doctor Who, come to think of it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37So, Rich, sorry, you've been beaten by our Egghead -
0:16:37 > 0:16:39please come back, rejoin your team-mates.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44OK, Beds Bucks Borderers have lost another brain.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Not a crisis yet, Caz, though.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47No, not yet.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48HE LAUGHS I wish I hadn't asked now!
0:16:48 > 0:16:50It depends what comes up next.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52The Eggheads have lost a brain as well themselves,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54and it's Sport now.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56So it's going to be Judi or Caz
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- for this.- Judi. - PLAINTIVELY:- Better be me!
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Judi.- OK.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04And which Egghead would you like? You can have Dave or Pat.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Pat, do you reckon? - Yeah, Pat, I think.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Right. My husband here advises me to have Pat.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Judi from Beds Bucks Borderers versus Pat,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16who is, I think, Sporty Spice, sometimes.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I hadn't thought of myself in that way...!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21But you do know sport.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23To ensure there's no conferring,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31OK, Judi, I know that it's maybe not your subject, this one.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- So would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Jeremy.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38OK. Good luck to you.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Who was appointed captain
0:17:40 > 0:17:43of the England rugby union team in January 2016?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Ooh...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53My son and my husband
0:17:53 > 0:17:57will know this. I'm not so sure that I do.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Erm... So...
0:18:00 > 0:18:02maybe not Dylan Hartley.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Erm...
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I think I'm going to go for George Ford.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I've got to go to Rich on this. Rich?
0:18:09 > 0:18:10I felt your pain there.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Yeah. Dylan Hartley.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- It was Dylan Hartley.- Ah! - Don't worry.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Pat, your question.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18The football manager Jock Stein
0:18:18 > 0:18:20won nine consecutive league titles
0:18:20 > 0:18:25with which football club between 1966 and 1974?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Er, I think his name is forever linked with Celtic,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35and I think he achieved a dominance in Scotland.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You are absolutely right.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39OK. Back to you, Judi.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Max Verstappen,
0:18:41 > 0:18:46who in May 2016 became the youngest man to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48was born in which country?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Ooh...
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I don't think it would be France.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I think it might be between...
0:18:59 > 0:19:03..between Belgium and Austria.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I'll go down the middle and say Austria.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09OK, 50-50. Let's just check with your team-mates.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Team-mates...? - Sounds very Belgian to me.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Well, I think it's Belgium.- Belgium, yeah.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14We're getting Belgium here.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Think he's Dutch, actually.- Oh...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Judi, I'm so sorry.- Oh.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So born in Belgium.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Don't worry. There's still time here.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Pat, which England cricketer
0:19:25 > 0:19:28scored a record 258
0:19:28 > 0:19:31in a Test match against South Africa in 2016?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Well, I know that around that time period
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Joe Root was consistently a very strong batsman.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45But Ben Stokes had some big scores as well.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I'll go for Ben Stokes.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49So there's a lot riding on this -
0:19:49 > 0:19:52if you get this right, Judi is out. Let me just check the Challengers.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- What do you think?- That's correct, yeah.- You know your sport there.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Ben Stokes is the answer. Pat, you're in the final.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Sorry, Judi, no way back...- Ohhh!
0:19:59 > 0:20:02..but I know it wasn't your subject. Don't you worry.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05OK, so you've been beaten by our Egghead. That's the final head-to-head -
0:20:05 > 0:20:07if you come back to us, we'll play the final round.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12So we talked about Max Verstappen,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16and born in Belgium but a voice here said...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Think he's Dutch. - Yeah, Dutch, that's right,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21so just in case people were saying, wait a minute, he's Dutch.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23He's obviously... He's racing for Holland now.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Anyway, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29it is time for the final round. As always it's General Knowledge.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:31 > 0:20:33won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37So, Rich, Judi and Martin from Beds Bucks Borderers
0:20:37 > 0:20:40and Beth from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44OK, this is the moment of truth, Caz and Ken,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48you are playing to win the BBBs £4,000.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Chris, Lisa, Dave and Pat, you are playing for something
0:20:50 > 0:20:52that money can't really put a price on at all,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56which is that precious Egghead reputation.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn -
0:20:58 > 0:21:01this time they're all General Knowledge.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04You can confer, Challengers. So, Beds Bucks Borderers,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06the question is can your two brains
0:21:06 > 0:21:09defeat these four in a famous victory?
0:21:09 > 0:21:10And would you like to go first or second?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13We will go first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17OK. All the best, good luck.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Father and daughter, right? - Yeah.- Here we go.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Although then under a different name,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27in which year did the BBC's World Service radio network
0:21:27 > 0:21:28first broadcast?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Over to you, Dad.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Bit of a crisis here.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I think for five years
0:21:41 > 0:21:43it was something else private, and then I think in 1932
0:21:43 > 0:21:44it became the BBC.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47So your answer is '32?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Yes.- '32.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52You're quite right.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53HE CHUCKLES
0:21:53 > 0:21:55OK. Eggheads.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57From 2000 to 2004,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59the music producer Damon Thomas
0:21:59 > 0:22:01was the husband of which woman?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08He's never been married to Britney Spears or Madonna
0:22:08 > 0:22:09- as far as I know.- DAVE:- No.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- So it must be KK.- CHRIS:- Yeah.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14So, Kim Kardashian, is everybody happy?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Mm-hm.- Yeah.- OK.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Right, erm...
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Going through that, we're going for Kim Kardashian,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22please, Jeremy.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23I don't know how many times
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I've heard you guys say the words "Kim Kardashian"
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- in this quiz.- We try not to.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Inescapable this time - it is the right answer, Kim Kardashian.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34OK. Caz and Ken -
0:22:34 > 0:22:36in Scotland a criminal trial
0:22:36 > 0:22:39may end with one of three different verdicts.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Guilty, not guilty and which other?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Well, I don't think it would be half guilty, would it?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50No. Can't be.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Not proven, no verdict. Not proven...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I don't know the answer to that one.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- No, we're just going to have to... - No verdict...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Not proven.- Not proven...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- This is in Scotland, right? - In Scotland.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06That sounds great with a Scottish accent.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08JEREMY LAUGHS
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- WITH ACCENT:- Not proven.- Not proven.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11I agree.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Shall we go for that?- I agree.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Not proven, Jeremy.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Yeah, that's absolutely right.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Innocent till proven guilty,
0:23:20 > 0:23:24but in the case of Scottish criminal trials, not proven is an option.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Eggheads, your second question. On the back foot slightly here.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31King Julien the Lemur
0:23:31 > 0:23:34is a character in which animated film franchise?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Isn't it Sasha Baron Cohen? # I like to move it, move it... #
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- DAVE:- Is it?- Think so.- CHRIS:- Yeah. - PAT:- That's him.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Yeah, well, Madagascar obviously
0:23:46 > 0:23:48fits with everything else, doesn't it?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51It would be very strange to have a lemur in the Ice Age...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53In the Ice Age. Or Toy Story.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Madagascar? Are we happy with that, team?- Yeah.- CHRIS:- Yeah.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59We're going for Madagascar, please, Jeremy.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- OK.- Reliably informed by Lisa
0:24:01 > 0:24:06that it's Sasha Baron Cohen's character.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Madagascar's the right answer. Well done.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09All right, we need them
0:24:09 > 0:24:12to slip up, don't we? They haven't so far.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Keep focus here, Challengers.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Which Oscar-winning actress
0:24:16 > 0:24:21revealed in 2016 that she had the words "Carpe diem"
0:24:21 > 0:24:23tattooed on her wrist,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27an 81st birthday present from her daughter?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Who's 81?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Probably all of them.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39No... Judi Dench is not 81...
0:24:39 > 0:24:40I would say Helen Mirren
0:24:40 > 0:24:43is the one most likely to get a tattoo.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Is she 81?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46I don't know.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Or maybe Maggie Smith then.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Oh... They're all spunky ladies.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Maggie Smith doesn't sound to be the person who'd have a tattoo.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Exactly. Exactly.- Yeah.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Helen Mirren, I would go for.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- SHE SIGHS - I'm thinking Helen Mirren.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03You're in charge!
0:25:06 > 0:25:10We'll go, in the hope that she's old enough...
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- I don't think she IS old enough. - You don't?- No.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14No, no, I don't think she is.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I think the only one who IS old enough is Maggie Smith.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Yeah. I agree.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22OK, we've done an about-turn there, Jeremy,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25we think the only one who's possibly old enough
0:25:25 > 0:25:28is Maggie Smith, so that's our answer.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31So Helen Mirren was born in 1945,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33so you saved yourselves there.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Maggie Smith was born when...?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38She's old enough, but I don't think she's got a daughter.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39But what year?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I'd have gone that she's round that time.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Yeah. Early/mid-30s.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47OK, Maggie Smith was born in 1934...
0:25:47 > 0:25:48- OK.- Oh, right.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Judi Dench's birth year...
0:25:50 > 0:25:531934...
0:25:54 > 0:25:56So how do you choose between them?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I think Maggie Smith has got a son
0:25:58 > 0:25:59and Judi Dench is the one with the daughter.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01It's Judi Dench.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Cos she has the daughter.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Oh... Never thought about the daughter.- Judi Dench.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12I didn't think she was that old, I must say. My goodness.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I'm sorry. But you're not out yet.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Just hold steady there, Challengers. Keep the faith.- OK.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Eggheads, your third question, for the contest.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Which mythological creature is the national animal of Scotland?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- It's the unicorn.- Unicorn.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- I only learned this the other day. - CHRIS:- One side of the royal arms.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- DAVE:- Unicorn, isn't it?- Yeah. - What about you, Pat?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- Yeah...- Happy with that? - Rings a bell, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44- It's not the griffin.- The dragon's Wales, that would be contentious.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46And the griffin... Don't think so.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- LISA:- No, I definitely heard this the other day.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50And I thought they would have something
0:26:50 > 0:26:52slightly less attractive and more "fighty" in Scotland,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54but I believe it IS the unicorn.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Are we happy with unicorn?- Well, as I say it's the left-hand side
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- of the Scottish royal arms. - OK. Boss says so.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03We're going to go for unicorn, please, Jeremy.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Unicorn. Not dragon, not griffin?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07If you've got it right, the contest is over,
0:27:07 > 0:27:08otherwise we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Eggheads, the answer is...
0:27:10 > 0:27:12unicorn.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14We say congratulations. You have won.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21It's that wretched 3-2 thing,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23just in the final round, the third question.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I'm sorry, Challengers.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Never mind.- Judi Dench... - We're glad to get this far.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30But that was a good swerve away from Miss Mirren.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Yeah, unfortunately in the wrong direction.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34But she's watching the show, you know,
0:27:34 > 0:27:35and you're about to choose her,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38and she's going to be cross with her TV,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41and then you decide, no, she's too young.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43But I hope you've enjoyed playing.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- We have.- Very much.- Great to have you. Thank you so much for coming.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Commiserations to the Beds Bucks Borderers, though.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53they still reign supreme over quizland.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57We won't call it a run yet, it's more like a gentle stroll, isn't it?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59But you're getting there, Eggheads.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01It means you're not going home with the £4,000,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03so we take the money, we roll it over to our next show.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Eggheads, I wonder if THEY will beat you.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Doesn't look like it, does it?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:10 > 0:28:12have the brains to take the money.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17There's £5,000 they'll be playing for. Till then, goodbye.
