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 > 0:00:14arguably 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, the show where a team of five
0:00:24 > 0:00:27quiz challengers pit their wits against possibly
0:00:27 > 0:00:31the greatest quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34And playing rather well at the moment, I think, Eggs.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Challenging the might of our quiz goliaths today are...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, in forming this team, captain Rhonda
0:00:39 > 0:00:43has called upon the services of her quizziest friends and family.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, my name's Rhonda, I work for an advertising agency.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Nat and I'm a production manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Clive, I'm an engineering consultant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Vikki and I'm a programme manager.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Nicky, I'm a physiotherapist.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01So, Rhonda and team - welcome.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- ALL:- Thank you.- Rhonda, tell me how you all know each other.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I know this is going to be complicated.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Yeah, it is a bit complicated.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I used to work with Nathalie.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- And this is Nathalie's father, Clive.- Right.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And Vikki is a friend of a friend.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18And Nicky is Vikki's friend. It's really...
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- So we all quiz but we quiz separately.- OK.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- But we can call it friends and family.- Correct.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- And quizzy friends and family as well.- Yes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- And you're based geographically...? - All over the place as well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30All over... And I hear a bit of Australian.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- I'm originally from Australia, yeah.- OK.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- I've been here for 16 years, though. - Good luck.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45So, formalities over, Soft Boiled, I can tell you the Eggs
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- have won the last four games.- Oh. - So they're not so much on a run
0:01:48 > 0:01:51but they're breaking into a jog, really. And you've got to stop them.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54£5,000 is on the table for you if you do.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- And would you like to start? - Yes, please.- I thought so.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of... Who would like this?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- RHONDA LAUGHS - I think that's me, then, yeah? - What do you think? Yeah?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Are you guys happy with that? - Yes, definitely.- OK.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Thank you, Jeremy, that will be me. - OK, Vikki, against which Egghead?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I think we'd like to challenge Lisa!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Vikki from Soft Boiled against Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19on Geography. And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- OK, so Geography against Lisa.- Yeah. - And, Vikki, your choice -
0:02:26 > 0:02:28would you like to go first or second?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I'm going to go different here and I'm going to go second, please.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37OK, here we go. The US state of North Carolina
0:02:37 > 0:02:38is bordered by which ocean?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Now, I have to ignore Judith's standard rule
0:02:45 > 0:02:47because I think North Carolina is east coast,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49so it would be Atlantic.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52And of course cos Judith normally says, if in doubt,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54choose the Pacific, whatever the subject.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Indeed.- Yeah, I think even she would have gone for Atlantic here.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Atlantic is right. Vikki, your question -
0:03:00 > 0:03:03According to population figures in 2013, which was
0:03:03 > 0:03:06the second largest city in France?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Right, OK... This is going to be a process of elimination
0:03:13 > 0:03:15cos I don't know the answer. Something is drawing me
0:03:15 > 0:03:19towards Lyon, but then I'm thinking that's quite a small city
0:03:19 > 0:03:21in comparison.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I think I'm going to go for Marseille.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Marseille, which is in the south. - Yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Eggheads, can you help us out here? This is a hard one.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- It is Marseille. - Marseille, yeah.- By a long way?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Not much...but sufficient.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- OK, Vikki, it is Marseille. - Oh, wow, fantastic.- Well done.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Lisa - your question.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43How many countries share a border with Bolivia?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Stop crying.- I can't!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Of all the questions. I don't know. There are subcategories
0:03:51 > 0:03:54of geography questions that I hate and this is probably
0:03:54 > 0:03:56going to make the top three.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I think, given there are only 12 countries -
0:03:58 > 0:04:02it would struggle to be nine. To be just the one border
0:04:02 > 0:04:05you have to be either very small or be sort of coastal.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I think five is probably a decent shout so I'll try five.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I'm liking your logic. Five is right.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Well done. The Australian state of Victoria shares a border with
0:04:17 > 0:04:20which of the following states?
0:04:24 > 0:04:29OK, I've been to Victoria. So I should get this right.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Queensland is up in the north-east of Australia,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36and Western, by its name, Western Australia is in the west.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I think it's New South Wales.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- What do you think, Lisa?- Spot on. - Really, you'd have gone the same?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I really would. Yes.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I was thinking, this is the question with your name on it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- The tone of surprise! - New South Wales is right.- Excellent.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Thank you.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So, two each and your third question can be very important,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Lisa, here we go.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57The two official languages of the African country of Cameroon are...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59French and which other?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Now, there's a trick to this.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I have been through all the countries with official
0:05:07 > 0:05:09languages of English and French and...
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Spanish is the other one that is quite good to have a handle on.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21I'm struggling really to make a case for anything other than English.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I'm not desperately happy with it but I will say English.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28English is the right answer, Lisa, well done. Well done.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31OK, so the pressure on you a little bit, Vikki.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Get this right and we go to Sudden Death.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39The Nakdong River is the longest river in which Asian country?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Obviously, Japan and South Korea... Well, Japan, obviously...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51is a landmass in the Pacific.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55South Korea is a smaller...area.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Although I've not been to Vietnam, I was in Cambodia and the Nakdong
0:06:02 > 0:06:06does sound maybe more Vietnamese. So this is a very big wild guess.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09But I'm going to go for Vietnam.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Eggheads?- South Korea.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13South Korea is the answer.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Vikki, I am so sorry. You've been knocked out, Lisa has won through.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- She will be in the final round. - Well done, Lisa.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Come back to us, both of you, and we will play on.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24As it stands, Soft Boiled have lost a brain,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27but it's early days here, the Eggheads are still sitting pretty,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31completely intact, and the next subject is...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33So, who would like this?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35None of us, really.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36LAUGHTER
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- Can we have a different one?- Come on, you must.- It will be me.- OK.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- But you are in advertising, you watch loads of stuff.- Well...
0:06:44 > 0:06:46OK, Rhonda, against which Egghead? Can't be Lisa.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Probably...Chris.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Chris likes certain films but they have to have trains in them.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58So, Rhonda from Soft Boiled versus our probably hardest-boiled Egghead.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Young Chris.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01To ensure there is no conferring,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05So, Film & TV, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:05 > 0:07:06I'll go first, thanks.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- OK, all the best, Rhonda.- Thank you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14See if we can keep the team captain in here.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18In which city was the actor Ray Winstone born?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I'm going to say London.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28London is the right answer. Well done. Chris...
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Which television series starring Edward Woodward
0:07:32 > 0:07:38was screened in Italy under the title Un Guistiziere a New York?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Is it...?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Well, it's one something in New York, isn't it?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50And Edward Woodward played a retired Secret Service chap
0:07:50 > 0:07:53who went around righting wrongs in The Equalizer.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56So it's got to be the Italian version of The Equalizer.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01The Equalizer is quite right. So, one each, back to you, Rhonda.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Who stars as DCI Vera Stanhope
0:08:03 > 0:08:06in the television crime series Vera?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I actually love this show, it's Brenda Blethyn.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Brenda Blethyn is quite right. Well done.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20This is your question to catch up, Chris.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Who was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his performance
0:08:23 > 0:08:25in the film Driving Miss Daisy?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Yeah, he played the chauffeur, it was Morgan Freeman.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Yes, it was Morgan Freeman.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36OK, Rhonda, see if you can get this one right,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38puts a bit of pressure on him.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Who played Clarice Starling in the 2001 film, Hannibal?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Well, I know Jodie Foster played her in the first one.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55I'm going to take a guess at Julianne Moore.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Yeah, it's tricky, this,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59cos we straightaway go to Jodie Foster, don't we?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Cos that was the most famous one.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Julianne Moore is the right answer. - Yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Three out of three. OK, Chris...
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Which Avengers actress went on to play Rosemary King
0:09:11 > 0:09:13in the soap opera Emmerdale?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Yeah, she faked her own death, it was Linda Thorson.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Yeah, very good, Linda Thorson is right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Straight there, OK, three-three.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30So, it goes to Sudden Death, Rhonda, gets a bit harder,
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I don't give you alternative answers.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33In the 1940s and 1950s,
0:09:33 > 0:09:38which actor took the title role in films of three Shakespeare plays -
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Henry V, Hamlet and Richard III?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46The only person I can think of is Richard Burton. But, yeah...
0:09:47 > 0:09:49No, it's not him. It's...
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Laurence Olivier. - Laurence Olivier.- Ah, OK.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55OK, Chris...
0:09:55 > 0:09:58This for the round. The 2011 sequel
0:09:58 > 0:10:01to the Rowan Atkinson spy comedy Johnny English
0:10:01 > 0:10:04was entitled Johnny English what?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Reborn.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- I didn't think you would get that. Have you seen it?- Yes.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Chris, it is Reborn. You've won the round.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Rhonda, sorry.- That's OK, congratulations, Chris.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Bumped into a bit of Chris knowledge there.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Please return, rejoin your team-mates and we'll see what happens next.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24So, as it stands, Soft Boiled have lost two brains now.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Too little yolks have gone
0:10:26 > 0:10:29from the final round. The Eggheads are still sitting there.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Let's see if you can dent them now.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34So, it's...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36OK. Rhonda, who should take this?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- I think it's...- I think it's Clive.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44Clive. OK, our consultant engineer. And against which Egghead?
0:10:44 > 0:10:45It can't be Chris or Lisa.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- I'll try Pat.- OK.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Clive from Soft Boiled,
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Pat on Politics from the Eggheads. Please go to our Question Room.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Clive, would you like to go first or second on Politics?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I think I'll go second, please.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06And here is your first question, Pat...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Meritocracy is a system in which advancement is based on which
0:11:09 > 0:11:10of the following?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Of those three...
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I think meritocracy should be advancement based on ability
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and achievement.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Ability and achievement.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yeah, that's the right answer.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Clive, in the US,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33when politicians of one party attempt to form a consensus
0:11:33 > 0:11:35with those of the other party,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38they are said to reach across what?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43You couldn't have started me off with a worse one than this,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46cos it's going to be a total guess.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49But I'll go for the middle one, I'll for the counter.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52It's actually a reference to the physical aisle in the...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I guess the Senate or the House of Representatives. Or both.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59So they're reaching across the aisle, Clive. Pat, back to you.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Which Commons seat
0:12:00 > 0:12:04did Nigel Farage contest at the 2015 general election?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13South Thanet had quite a high profile prior to that election.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I suppose...
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Presumably he would contest a seat where he thought he had
0:12:17 > 0:12:20a chance of winning...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23South West Surrey sounds quite prosperous.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Might not be fertile ground.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I think I'll have to go for South Thanet.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Yeah, you got it right.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34OK, Clive...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Who was Chancellor of West Germany
0:12:37 > 0:12:41at the time of the UK referendum on membership of the EEC in 1975?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Was it...?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Well, it's nearly as old as me.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I think...it was Helmut Schmidt.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58You're bang on, well done, Helmut Schmidt it was.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I'm thinking... Was Brandt later or earlier?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Earlier.- So, Brandt was earlier, Kohl was later.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06OK, Pat, your question.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Get this right and you are in the final round, Pat.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12In 2015, Cambiemos, meaning "let's change,"
0:13:12 > 0:13:15became the ruling coalition in which country?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Hmm...
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Well, I think in Bolivia Evo Morales was in power for quite
0:13:28 > 0:13:31a while before that date and for some time afterwards.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Chile and Argentina...
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Kirchner left office and Macri took office in Argentina.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46But I thought that they were representatives
0:13:46 > 0:13:48of two established parties.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52I'm not so sure about Chile. I think between Argentina and Chile
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I am going to go for Chile.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Actually, you've got it wrong. - Oh, dear.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I loved your legwork there, getting up to the answer but you just
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- swerved at the end in the wrong direction.- Argentina.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Argentina is the answer, Pat.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07So, Clive, that's handy.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12What position did Angela Eagle hold when she resigned from
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet in the wake of the EU referendum
0:14:15 > 0:14:17in June 2016?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Well, this has been in the recent news. So I should know it.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I think it was the shadow business secretary.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Spot on. You are right, Clive, well done, well played.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Shadow business secretary. So, after three questions you are level.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39We go to Sudden Death,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42it gets a bit harder, I don't give you different options.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Pat, your question.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47What region of the world is indicated by the letters C-A-R
0:14:47 > 0:14:52at the start of the trade organisation names CARIFTA and CARICOM?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I have an idea, I'm just double-checking.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Yeah, I think it's the Caribbean...region.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02It is the Caribbean.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Well done, and one of them is the free trade association and
0:15:05 > 0:15:08the other one is Caribbean community which is a kind of common market thing.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11OK, Sudden Death, it can end quickly here, Clive.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Your question...
0:15:12 > 0:15:15The economist Mario Draghi,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19who in 2011 became president of the European Central Bank,
0:15:19 > 0:15:23had previously served as governor of which country's central bank?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Well, I've basically no idea...
0:15:26 > 0:15:28HE CHUCKLES
0:15:28 > 0:15:30..so, I'll have to take a guess.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33And I'll go for...
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Italy.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Italy is correct.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Mario Draghi.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Pat, Sudden Death,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44which British Prime Minister was nicknamed "the Welsh goat"?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49My first thought is Lloyd George.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52He was certainly born in Manchester but I think
0:15:52 > 0:15:55he was born to Welsh-speaking parents.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And he had his enemies who would have been happy to have given him
0:15:58 > 0:16:00an unflattering nickname.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Anybody else?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06No, I don't think so. I think I'll go for... David Lloyd George.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09David Lloyd George is correct.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Clive...
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Sudden Death, your question. Got to get this right.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18On the 31st of December 1999,
0:16:18 > 0:16:22when Boris Yeltsin resigned as president of the Russian Federation,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24who became acting president?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I think it was Eduard Shevardnadze.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Yeah... No, it wasn't.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36But that's almost a better answer than the correct answer,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39which is just Vladimir Putin, actually.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Sudden Death, sorry, Clive.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43You've been knocked out.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Soft Boiled have lost three brains from the final round.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54The Eggheads are getting into gear a bit here. You've got to stop them.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56The next subject is...
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Now, who wants this?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I am rubbish... I won't get anything.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Shall I do it, then? - So, Nicky, it's you, is it?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- OK.- Well done.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Who are you going to call? It's either Kevin or it's Dave.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I'd go for Kevin. Dave's good on Music.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Yes, I'll take Kevin, please.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Nicky from Soft Boiled on Music against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Please go to our Question Room now.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26So, Music, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27I'll go first, please.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Good luck, so pulling it back now for Soft Boiled, let's see
0:17:34 > 0:17:35if you can get into the final.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Who reached the top of the UK singles chart in 1960 with
0:17:39 > 0:17:41the song My Old Man's A Dustman?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Is it...?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50I'm pretty sure that that was Lonnie Donegan.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I was laughing because I was trying to imagine Buddy Holly...
0:17:53 > 0:17:54If that was Buddy Holly's song...
0:17:54 > 0:17:55LAUGHTER
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Can you imagine...? Lonnie Donegan is quite right, well done.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00OK, Kevin...
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Which of the following is a term for the fade-out that can
0:18:04 > 0:18:05happen at the end of a song?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Is it a word that you ever used to see that much?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18But it's become more common now as just a counterpart to intro.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Outro.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Outro is right. OK, your question, Nicky.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Which song by the Sex Pistols begins with the line...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30"There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply"?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Is it...?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39OK, well, I don't know. So this will be a guess.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I'll go for Anarchy In The UK.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47OK, "There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49"We're so pretty, oh so pretty..." Pretty Vacant.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Kevin, in the late 1990s,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Justin Timberlake was a member of which boyband?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Is it...?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10He was with the one with the...
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Probably the silliest of those names. I assume it's "in sync".
0:19:14 > 0:19:17The asterix, I assume, is meant to be for an "I".
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Anyway, it's in *NSYNC.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20*NSYNC is correct.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Right, so he's in the lead, Nicky,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26and you've got to stop him with this answer.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Released in 2016,
0:19:27 > 0:19:31The Life Of Pablo is an album by which recording artist?
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Wow.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Absolutely not a clue. So I'm going to guess...
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Ed Sheeran.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Let's see, Challengers?
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- It's Kanye. - Kanye West is the answer.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Nat knew that.- Oh, well.- Well done, Kevin. You are in the final.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Nicky, sorry, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03If you both return to us, we'll see what happens
0:20:03 > 0:20:06with the Challengers playing one person in the final round.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10OK, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:20:10 > 0:20:11it is time for the final round.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15But, I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:15 > 0:20:17won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21So that's Rhonda and Clive and Vikki and Nicky from Soft Boiled.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Sorry, but would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27OK, Nat, good luck.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I know it wasn't supposed to end like this, but you can win,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and it's been done before, Eggs, hasn't it?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34So, you're playing to win Soft Boiled £5,000.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Kevin and Chris, Lisa, Dave and Pat, you're playing for
0:20:37 > 0:20:41something which money can't buy - which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47this time they are all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Sorry that doesn't help you, Nat.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52The question is, can you with your one brain defeat these five?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54And would you like to go first or second?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55I will go second, please.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01OK, so Nat goes second, first question to you, Eggheads.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05In common law, what is an agreement between two or more people to
0:21:05 > 0:21:08commit an unlawful act known as?
0:21:13 > 0:21:18- Conspiracy.- I think so.- Conspiracy.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22We're going for a conspiracy, please, Jeremy.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24It is a conspiracy, well done.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Nat, over to you.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Ilyich was the middle name of which 20th-century leader?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I think it's a Russian name.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40And for that reason I am going to go with Lenin.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Brilliant. Lenin is right, Nat, well done.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45You are off the starting blocks there.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48In the standard version of the cautionary verse beginning,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51"For want of a nail, the shoe was lost,"
0:21:51 > 0:21:55what is the largest entity that has been lost by the end?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01The kingdom. For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02The kingdom was lost.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And all for the want of the horseshoe now. Yeah.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07So, then, the kingdom is our answer.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10We're going for the kingdom, please, Jeremy.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14The kingdom is your answer. So it goes the nail...
0:22:14 > 0:22:16The shoe was lost. For the want of the shoe, the horse was lost...
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Horse...- The rider was lost.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19For want of a rider, a message was lost.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21For the want of a message, a battle was lost.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23For the want of a battle, a kingdom was lost.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25OK. The kingdom is right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29OK, Nat, your question. What is the name of the geological epoch
0:22:29 > 0:22:33that immediately preceded the Pliocene?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44I'm assuming they all relate to numbers.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Mio possibly being 1,000.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I think I will go with Miocene.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Miocene is right.- Oh, my goodness.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Nat, stupendous play. - A stroke of luck.- Well done.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58OK, Eggheads, so, it's two each.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03Osier, goat and crack are species of which type of tree?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- Osier, I assume is O-S-I-E-R? - Yes, it is.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Willow, yeah?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Are we all happy with that? - There is a crack willow as well.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21There is a goat willow. Goat willow? Yeah, that sounds familiar.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23So, Willow. Willow is our answer, please, Jeremy.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26You think there is a crack willow?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Willow is correct.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Well done, team.- I'm sorry they're not making this easy.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34But get this one right, we go to Sudden Death, Nat.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39The Evenk people are one of the many small ethnic groups
0:23:39 > 0:23:41of what region of the world?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47In Central America...
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I'm not really sure. I think it sounds like a European word.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57And probably more a sort of Eastern European word. Russian.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'm going for Siberia.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Siberia is the right answer.- Yes!
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Three out of three. - Often three is enough to win.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06But we go to Sudden Death,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08cos the Eggheads have met you toe-to-toe here.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10And it gets a little bit harder, Eggheads,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I don't give you different options, here we go.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15The given name Aisling, meaning dream or vision,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17comes from which language?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- I think that's Irish. - It's an Irish name.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Our answer is Irish, please, Jeremy.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Aisling, meaning dream or vision,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30yes, Irish, Gaelic Irish, correct.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Over to you, Nat.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37The woman known as Mata Hari was shot by the French towards
0:24:37 > 0:24:42the end of the First World War, on charges of spying for which country?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- I believe it was Germany. - Germany is right.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Playing well. Back to you, Eggheads.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Time Out Of Joint was one of the early novels of which
0:24:53 > 0:24:55American science-fiction writer?
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Who have we got?- Heinlein, Asimov.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Bradbury.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Philip K Dick.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Not a novel writer known for being a novel writer,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12cos it kind of sounds like there's more than one novel there.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16So would you describe Asimov as American?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19He was born in Russia but I think he became a naturalised American.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Yeah.- It could be any of them.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- It could be Bradbury. - It could be Ray Bradbury, yeah.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29He used Shakespearean quotations elsewhere,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33you know, Something Wicked This Way Comes.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Pat, have you got any inkling, any preference?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Sometimes it's sensible to go for the biggest name.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Just throw yourself at the mercy of the percentages.- OK.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49A tiny preference for Asimov, but I don't know.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- What about you, Chris? - Well, I still think Ray Bradbury...
0:25:51 > 0:25:54But if Pat's got an inkling for Asimov...
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- What about you, Kev? - I can see the Bradbury thing.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01But maybe follow the logic of the name.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Do we think it's a Shakespearean phrase?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Time Out Of Joint is. - What about you, Lisa?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I would have said Asimov, so I'm prepared to stand by that.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I think there's three... Am I right in saying there's three
0:26:13 > 0:26:16leaning towards Asimov? And we haven't got all day...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19We're not going to get anywhere else with it, so...
0:26:19 > 0:26:21If we say Isaac Asimov as an answer...?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- We'll all say sorry afterwards. - Yeah? Is that all right?
0:26:24 > 0:26:25- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28We're going for Isaac Asimov, please, Jeremy.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30It's interesting the way you guys work,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32your brilliant minds.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It's not Asimov, it's not Bradbury...
0:26:35 > 0:26:36You did mention the answer...
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Oh, no! It's Philip K Dick, I talked everyone out of it, oh, no!
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- You had that quiz thing that he only does short stories.- Oh!
0:26:43 > 0:26:47He didn't only do short stories. 1959 and the lead character
0:26:47 > 0:26:50in Time Out Of Joint was a guy called Ragle Gumm.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- But it was Philip K Dick. - No problem.- Worth knowing.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55OK, this is good now, Nat.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58If you get this one right you've won £5,000 and you enter
0:26:58 > 0:27:00our pantheon of players
0:27:00 > 0:27:03who have beaten all five Eggheads on their own,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and here we go...
0:27:05 > 0:27:09A creatinine clearance test is a clinical measurement
0:27:09 > 0:27:14to estimate the performance of which pair of major organs?
0:27:15 > 0:27:19OK, that narrows it down a bit, I suppose, to...
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I'm hoping, to two of the same organ, so two lungs
0:27:22 > 0:27:24or two kidneys...
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Or could it be the liver and kidneys? Oh...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I'm going to go with the kidneys.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37So, you've gone for...
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- ..kidneys.- I have.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43You've gone for the idea that the pair means
0:27:43 > 0:27:45that there's two of the same, so it's not...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48It's not one liver and a spleen or something like that?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I'm hoping not!
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Well, it measures the filtration rate of the glomeruli!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57The clusters of blood vessels that are the primary filtering
0:27:57 > 0:28:00structures of the kidneys. Well done, you've got it...!
0:28:00 > 0:28:03CHEERING
0:28:08 > 0:28:12One on five, we do not see that very often, well done, Nat.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Thank you so much, that's a big shock and a formidable team,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19so I'm really delighted! Thank you, thanks so much.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24- Brilliant.- Congratulations, you've just won £5,000 for Soft Boiled,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27you are officially cleverer than all the Eggheads put together
0:28:27 > 0:28:29and you've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Join us next time on Eggheads, to see if a new team of
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Challengers will be just as successful. Great to play with you.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Thanks, Nat, I hope you enjoyed it. - Thank you, I loved it!
0:28:37 > 0:28:39And all of you, thanks for coming.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- ALL:- Thank you. - Until next time, goodbye.
