0:00:05 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:33- They are the Eggheads! Welcome, Eggs!- Hello!- How kind.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35And hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Seaviewers.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Now, this team are all regulars at the Seaview Inn in Falmouth,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43where Alan hosts a weekly pub quiz.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Rob, and I'm a retired research scientist.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, my name is Mark, and I'm a guesthouse proprietor.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Ruth, and I'm an office and finance manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Peter, and I'm a yacht rigging consultant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Alan, and I'm a retired maths teacher.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- So, Rob, regulars at the same inn? - Indeed.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Rob, I know about your sculpture. - Yes.- Tell us what you do.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Well, I have always had an interest in sculpture,
0:01:10 > 0:01:15and I think perhaps it's timely just to bring something along
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- and show you, which you may or may not appreciate.- Is that me?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- That's fantastic!- It's meant to be.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22LAUGHTER
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I'm chuffed about that. Was that done with, er...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- No, it's, er... - ..a chisel?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29No, it's modelled in clay and cast in plaster.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Shall I just take delivery of it? - You take delivery of it.- This is...
0:01:32 > 0:01:36We once had somebody do... model all the Eggheads in Lego.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Actually, do you know what? That is very...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- It's good, isn't it? - OK, take a look, everyone.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44CONTESTANTS CHUCKLE
0:01:44 > 0:01:47It's closer than it should be.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51That's very good. I'm going to put this beautiful thing there.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Thank you very much. Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:56 > 0:01:57for the challenging team.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06So, Seaviewers, the Challengers won the last game,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10which in a way is good news cos this lot are now reeling, OK,
0:02:10 > 0:02:11so take advantage.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14There's £1,000 that says you can't beat them today.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Would you like to try? - Absolutely.- Good stuff.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21So who would like this?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Well, I think that sounds like Ruth. - Yeah.- Sounds like Ruthie.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28OK, Ruth, our office and finance manager, against which Egghead?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Who do you fancy?- Who...? You tell me.- Erm...- Erm...
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I think we should go with...
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Who doesn't look like they know any history?- They all go back a way!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- There's no-one obvious, I must say. - No, there's no-one obvious.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- It's classic quiz territory. - Will we go with Kevin?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK, yes. Certainly.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Why not...? Is this a good idea?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Somebody hurled themselves at Kevin the other day...
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Actually that was nothing to do with the quiz, though.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54LAUGHTER
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Ruth from the Seaviewers against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58The subject - History.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05So here we are on history, Ruth.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Good luck, and would you like to go first or second?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I will go first, please.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13History, your first question.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Which Medieval society was roughly divided into groups called
0:03:16 > 0:03:19"jarls," "karls" and "thralls?"
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Right, well, not Egyptians. Erm...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I don't think it was Franks, either.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32So I will go for Vikings.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Yes, Vikings is right.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Kevin, by which alternative name is
0:03:37 > 0:03:39the ancient city of Troy known?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45It's sometimes used as a poetic name
0:03:45 > 0:03:48for Troy, and it's Ilium.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Ilium is the answer.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Ruth, back to you.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Which of these historical figures
0:03:54 > 0:03:56supposedly died on his wedding night?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Right, erm...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Let's see, I...
0:04:09 > 0:04:14..don't think it was Genghis Khan.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Now, I think...
0:04:16 > 0:04:21..Alexander the Great was ill for quite a while before he died,
0:04:21 > 0:04:26so he's possibly not going to get married while he's ill.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29So, erm, we'll try Attila the Hun.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Attila the Hun is the right answer. Good play, Seaviewer!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Your team are pleased. OK, Kevin, what name is given to
0:04:37 > 0:04:40an old naval warfare tactic that
0:04:40 > 0:04:44allows a ship to bear all its guns on an enemy?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52It comes from, obviously, from the days of sail,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55where one line of ships would basically...
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Or maybe a ship would cut across another one, erm, so that
0:05:00 > 0:05:04they could bring all their guns to bear on the bows or the stern or...
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Erm, and if you think of the way in which that would work as a design,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10it's Crossing the T.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- They're coming round the front, are they?- Or the back.- Yeah.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Or the back. Basically, they cut the enemy's line.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Right.- Try and separate the enemy ships, cut their line,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24and if they're broadside on, erm,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28the enemy is not able to bring its guns to bear against them,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31and they can bring down its rigging, its mast...
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I see, I see, yes, Crossing the T is quite right.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37OK, Ruth, your question. Two points each.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41The majority of the Great Wall of China, as it exists today,
0:05:41 > 0:05:42dates from which dynasty?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Right, erm...
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I'm pretty sure that dynasty is the one where we get China from,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54so that's the Qin Dynasty.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Kevin, let's see, do you know this one?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Well, the wall was begun under the Qin, definitely.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I mean, it was one of the great measures that they took,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05but the question said, "As it..."
0:06:05 > 0:06:09It says, "The great majority of the wall, as it exists today,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11dates from which dynasty?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I might have said Ming for that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I'm not entirely sure.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18It depends on relative distances, but...
0:06:18 > 0:06:22It certainly originates with the Qin but whether the majority of it today
0:06:22 > 0:06:25dates from one of the others... I'd probably say Ming.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Ming is the right answer, Ruth.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Oh.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Your Qin was not...
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- That was a good stab because it was started under the Qin.- Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36OK, Kevin your question.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40In 260, which Roman emperor was captured by the Persians
0:06:40 > 0:06:43and later died in captivity?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Was this...?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Now...
0:06:51 > 0:06:55..I don't actually recognise Trajan Decius as a name.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57That seems to be a...
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Maybe he was one of the very short-lived guys.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Um...
0:07:01 > 0:07:06Gordian I, I believe, was probably a little bit earlier.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09But 260 being captured and subsequently dying in captivity,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I think that was Valerian.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Valerian is right.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Kevin, well done, well played.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19You've won the round. Sorry, Ruth, you did take on a very good Egghead.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I think he went ten years without being beaten in history.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24As a result, Ruth, you're not in the final but Kevin is.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Please come back and we'll play on.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31All right, so it's early days but the Seaviewers have lost a brain
0:07:31 > 0:07:35from the final round. The Eggheads, still got all of you there.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37The next subject is Music.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39So who would like this?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- That will be Mark.- Mark. - Mark, OK.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Against which Egghead and it can't be Kevin, Mark?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47THEY WHISPER
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Ask Rob, he's done his research.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- What about Judith? - Well, they're saying Chris.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Chris?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- It depends whether Sport comes up later.- CHRIS:- I know!
0:07:59 > 0:08:00THEY LAUGH
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Can you tell us what subjects are coming up?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Do you know, I don't even know.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I haven't looked.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08All right, so it's definitely Mark.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11But you seem to be havering between Chris and Judith.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Go on, then.- Judith.- Judith.- Judith.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18OK, it's Mark from the Seaviewers versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24All right, Music, Mark.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26I'll go second, I think.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32OK, Judith, here we go.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Ryedale High School is the setting for much of the action
0:08:35 > 0:08:38in which 1978 film musical.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Judith, is it?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Oh, it's definitely not West Side Story.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46And it's the '70s.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I think it's Grease.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Yes, Grease was 1978.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Mark, which of these is the title
0:08:51 > 0:08:55of Blondie's first UK hit single
0:08:55 > 0:08:59reaching number two in 1978. Is it...?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Well, um...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I don't think it's Mickey.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Er...
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I think Fernando was, er...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Dr Hook or something like that,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16so I'm going to go for Denis.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Yeah, I can't remember if it was Denis, Denis. Was it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I thought it was Denis, Denis.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Was it Denis, Denis as a title, Dave?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Yeah, Denis, Denis, she sang a bit in French, didn't she?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Yeah.- Because Mickey was Toni Basil and Fernando was Abba.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Right. Judith, your question.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35In which country was the composer Heitor Villa-Lobos born?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I was going to say it's got to be Spain.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Um...
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Well, unless it's a sort of trick question, it must be Brazil.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Brazil is the right answer, Judith, well done.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Good quizzing.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Second question to you, Mark.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg
0:09:56 > 0:09:59is a comic opera by which composer?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Well, um...
0:10:06 > 0:10:07I've never heard of it.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10So I'm going to have to make a guess.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I'll go for, I think, Stravinsky.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17It's not, it's Wagner,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20who's not known for his comedy, I must say.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24OK, so Eggheads have two, Challengers have one.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Judith, to take the round.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Which song by U2 replaced Bryan Adams after 16 weeks at the top
0:10:31 > 0:10:34of the UK singles chart in 1991?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I haven't the first clue.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Um...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Where The Streets Have No Name.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47The Fly is the answer, Judith.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50So equal and let's go back, you've got to save the round here, Mark,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52with your answer.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55According to the title of the 2015 album by The Weeknd,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58what is Behind The Madness?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Well...
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Er...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Modern stuff isn't my speciality.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08So again I'm going to have to try and work this one out.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Er...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Right, I'm going to take a guess again.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I'm going to say Beauty.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Beauty's right!- Oh!
0:11:18 > 0:11:19OK, Sudden Death.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Judith...
0:11:20 > 0:11:22..equal after three questions.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Very tense in the studio.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I don't give you different options, it gets a bit harder now.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31"I long to see the sunlight in your hair
0:11:31 > 0:11:34"and tell you time and time again how much I care,"
0:11:34 > 0:11:40Judith, are lyrics from which Lionel Richie hit single?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41I don't know.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Well, work your way through it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I don't, I haven't...
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I can't think of a Lionel Richie anything.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- So you're passing?- I'm passing.- OK.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Do you know this, Mark?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Er, yeah, I do actually. I wish I'd gone for the first set now.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- JEREMY CHUCKLES - It's Hello.- Yeah, Hello.- Oh.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Have you heard that one?- I have, actually, now you mention it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Yeah, OK.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03All right, there we are.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05So she's playing a tight game here, Mark.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08If you get this right, you're in the final.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11With which British male artist did Taylor Swift duet
0:12:11 > 0:12:14on her 2012 single, Everything Has Changed?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Um...
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I don't know the answer to that.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Taylor Swift.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Oh, I don't know. Mick Hucknall, I don't know.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Ed Sheeran. - Ed Sheeran, yeah, of course, yeah.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- And they're sort of best mates, those two.- Yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33OK, Judith, Sudden Death, your question.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Come Away With Me was a UK number one album for which
0:12:36 > 0:12:39female artist in 2002?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I have no idea.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Um... Pixie Lott... I don't know.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Pixie Lott. No, it's not, it's Nora Jones.- Right.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Mark, your question for the round.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Judith is panicking, so you've got a chance here.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Which band, whose members included Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart,
0:12:56 > 0:13:01had a 1979 UK top ten hit with I Only Wanna Be With You?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02You're going to know this.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03I am going to know that.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I think... And I think they're called The Tourists.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- The Tourists is right.- Yes!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well done, you're in the final round.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Oh, Judith, they just didn't fall for you.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16They absolutely didn't.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18All right, come back to us, both of you,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20and we'll see what happens next.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24As it stands, the Seaviewers have lost a brain from the final round,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26but Mark has pulled it back a bit here.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28The Eggheads have lost a brain, as well.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31And the next subject is Arts & Books.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33So which of you would like this?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- It's either me or... - It's either you or.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39No-one else is leaping forward for Arts & Books.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40It doesn't look like it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- It better be me and we just hope we don't get Science.- No.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- I can do Science. - Of course you can.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Right, it had better be me.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49OK, retired research scientist, Rob, against...
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Who do we fancy?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Chris, Lisa or Dave?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Um, I'm going against Chris.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Very good.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00OK, Rob from the Seaviewers against Chris on Arts & Books.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03And it's all very evenly balanced here, isn't it?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Please go to the Question Room, gentlemen.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Rob, you can choose whether you go first or second on Arts & Books
0:14:10 > 0:14:12against Chris.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13I will go first, Jeremy.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18And here is your first question.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22With which of the following are cherubs usually depicted
0:14:22 > 0:14:25in religious renaissance paintings?
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Well, cherubs certainly don't have horns and I've never seen
0:14:34 > 0:14:36a cherub with a tail, so I think it must be wings.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Wings it is, well done.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Chris, over to you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44My Wicked, Wicked Ways is the title of an autobiography
0:14:44 > 0:14:45by which man?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52That was the autobiography of Errol Flynn.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Errol Flynn is right.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Back to you, Rob.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00The 2016 thriller Crisis is the fiction debut
0:15:00 > 0:15:02of which BBC correspondent?
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Ah...
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Right, I don't feel that it's Andrew Marr.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Frank Gardner...
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I don't actually know Frank Gardner.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Um, I'm going to have to go with my strongest hunch,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22which is Jeremy Bowen.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Frank Gardner is the answer.- Oh.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25BBC security correspondent.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28OK, Chris.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Which best-selling novelist created the fictional adventurer
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Hal Courtney?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Ah, well, Dan Brown writes The Da Vinci Code
0:15:40 > 0:15:43and all that sort of stuff, so I don't think it's him.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Wilbur Smith writes a lot of things set in sort of colonial Africa.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51So is it Wilbur Smith, or is it Jack Higgins?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55No, I'll say Jack Higgins.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Oh, you veered.- Mmm.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00You swerved away from the correct answer, Wilbur Smith it is.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Oh, there we go.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03So one each.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05And back to you, Rob, for your third question.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09"I was adored once, too" is the lament
0:16:09 > 0:16:12of which Shakespearean comic character?
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Right...
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Er, and again I am not acquainted with that quote.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28So...
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Um, I'm going to have to go,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I think, with Sir John Falstaff.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Let's see if Chris knows this. It's a beautiful line, actually, Chris.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Yeah, once upon a time I played Sir Toby Belch
0:16:40 > 0:16:41opposite Sir Andrew Aguecheek.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- It's Sir Andrew Aguecheek who says that line.- And the play, Chris?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Twelfth Night.- Twelfth Night, Sir Andrew Aguecheek is the answer.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51OK, you can get into the final with this one answer, Chris.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56Which renaissance artist painted the work Tarquin And Lucretia
0:16:56 > 0:16:59housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge?
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Oh.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Lucretia.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Sounds like she might be a Titian-haired beauty.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09So I'll say Titian.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14Tarquin And Lucretia was painted by Titian. You're right, Chris.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17So he's just pulled ahead of you there over the three questions, Rob.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It means you've been knocked out and Chris will be in the final.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Come back to us and we'll play the last head-to-head.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27So the Seaviewers have lost two brains from the final now,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29the Eggheads have still just lost Judith.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32The last round before the final is Sport.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Everybody, who wants this?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Yeah, that's me, I think.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Alan.- By a process of elimination. - Alan, which Egghead?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- It can be Lisa or Dave.- Oh, who are we going to have, Lisa or David?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Um, Rob, you're the expert here.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Um, I would tend to go for Lisa.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52All right, so Alan, from the Seaviewers,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54taking on Lisa from the Eggheads on Sport
0:17:54 > 0:17:58and please go, for the last time, to our Question Room.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Sport, Alan. Would you like to go first or second against Lisa?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Well, I think I'd better go first.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08And here we go.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Which informal golfing term is used to describe an attempted swing
0:18:11 > 0:18:13that misses the ball completely?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's definitely an air shot.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Air shot is right.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Lisa...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24..which ex-Manchester United player left the club in 2016
0:18:24 > 0:18:28after an association that lasted 29 years?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Took one look at Jose Mourinho and said,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36"I don't like the look of that!" It's Ryan Giggs.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It is Ryan Giggs, well done.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Back to you, Alan.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43In a game of rugby union, which player will normally throw the ball
0:18:43 > 0:18:45back into play during a line-out?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Well, it's definitely one of the forwards, so it's not a full back.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58The scrum half is not... I think it must be the hooker.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Hooker's right.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00- Well done.- Yeah.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Lisa, which boxer was quoted
0:19:05 > 0:19:09as saying, "The question isn't at what age I want to retire,
0:19:09 > 0:19:10"it's at what income."
0:19:14 > 0:19:16CHUCKLES
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Oh, goodness.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Um...
0:19:20 > 0:19:23OK, it sounds slightly more Tyson/Foremanesque than Bruno,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26so let's take him out of the equation.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I don't know. You see, I'm a bit torn here because it sort of sounds
0:19:30 > 0:19:34like Tyson but, then, George Foreman dragged himself on for years
0:19:34 > 0:19:37and years, didn't he, boxing?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39So it's the sort of question you would have asked him,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42"When are you finally going to hang up your gloves?"
0:19:45 > 0:19:48That's sort of better logic than it sounds like Tyson, isn't it?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Um...
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I may regret it, I'll go for George Foreman.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53It is George Foreman.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Woohoo!- Lisa, well done.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58So 2-2, third question to you, Alan.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02What nickname has been given to the new Formula 1 cockpit
0:20:02 > 0:20:05protection device trialled in 2016?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Well, I haven't got a clue
0:20:10 > 0:20:13but it's quite likely to be an acronym,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16so I think I'm going to go for one of the four-letter ones.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Then it's just a guess.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19So, Aura.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Lisa?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- It's Halo.- Halo.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25This is your question to get into the final,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27if you get it right, Lisa.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Hubert Van Innis was the first Belgian to win an Olympic gold medal
0:20:30 > 0:20:34in which sport at the 1900 Games?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40The first Belgian. OK.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45So there hadn't been a huge number of modern Olympic Games before this.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47If he's the first Belgian to win,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51does that mean it's something in which the Belgians
0:20:51 > 0:20:55are sort of renowned as being quite good?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I'm kind of not getting a feeling for anything.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- I don't know. Why don't we try Sailing?- Sailing.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Now this guy is interesting as we're about to find out.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Let me just see if Kevin knows.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Have you heard of Mr Van Innis?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- I think it's archery. - It is archery, Kevin, yeah.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16He just won a lot of medals. He was, I think, Belgium's most successful
0:21:16 > 0:21:18athlete of the 20th century.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21He won six golds and three silvers in archery.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24So he wasn't just any old Hubert Van Innis.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Cos there's so many of those! - There's so many.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29So it was archery. You're level after three questions.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31We go to Sudden Death again.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Alan, it gets a bit harder. As you know, I don't give you options.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Which country's athletes were suspended from official competition
0:21:39 > 0:21:42by the IAAF in November 2015?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Russia.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Russia's right.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Lisa...
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Which of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments
0:21:50 > 0:21:54is usually staged earliest in the year?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Assuming the year runs January to December
0:21:56 > 0:21:57it's the Australian Open.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59It is the Australian Open.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Back to you on Sudden Death, Alan.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05The FIVB is the governing body of which sport?
0:22:05 > 0:22:06I'll have a guess at volleyball.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Volleyball is correct.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11The Federation Internationale de Volleyball.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Lisa...
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Which cricketer achieved the rare feat of scoring a century
0:22:16 > 0:22:20and taking ten wickets in a 1983 Test match in Faisalabad?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- LAUGHS - You could have stopped at "which cricketer"
0:22:23 > 0:22:25and it wouldn't have made any difference at all.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Oh, I don't know.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Pick a cricketer. Any cricketer.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I don't know. Let's say Ian Botham, get it over with.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Ian Botham. Alan, what's your answer to that, do you know?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- I don't know.- All right, Eggheads?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Imran Khan.- Imran Khan, they all say.- Of course, of course.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42So...
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Lisa you're knocked out. - That's all right. Byesy-bye.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Alan, you're in the final.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Come back to us, both of you, and we will play the final round.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53So this is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55it is time for the final round which, as always,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57is General Knowledge.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59But, unfortunately,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02those of you who lost your head-to-heads can't take part in this round.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05So Rob and Ruth from the Seaviewers,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07but also Judith and Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Mark, Peter and Alan, you're playing to win the Seaviewers £1,000.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Kevin, Chris and Dave, you're playing for something that money can't really buy,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20which is the Eggheads' reputation
0:23:20 > 0:23:21and not to put too fine a point on it,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23to get this show back on the road.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30You are allowed to confer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31So, Seaviewers, the question is,
0:23:31 > 0:23:36can your three brains defeat these three mega-brains over here?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39We'd like to go first, please.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44OK, Peter and team, here we go.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Good luck.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49What informal name is given to the hygienic clothing
0:23:49 > 0:23:52worn by surgeons during an operation?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Scrubs.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59We all agree it's scrubs.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Scrubs is right.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03OK, Eggheads...
0:24:03 > 0:24:07By what acronym is the standard rate of interest for loans
0:24:07 > 0:24:12between financial institutions in the UK better known?
0:24:16 > 0:24:17- LIBOR rate.- It's LIBOR, isn't it?
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- LIBOR rate because it was the... - Big scandal.- Yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- We're saying LIBOR.- Yeah.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Cos the other one refers to an exchange.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I can't remember what LEAPS is, but...
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- LIBOR between financial institutions.- Interbank.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Interbank ones there.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Right, we're going for LIBOR, please, Jeremy.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38LIBOR is right.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Mark, Alan, Peter, to take the lead, here's your question.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Who wrote the theme tune for the cult TV comedy,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I think Tony Hatch was Crossroads.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53I don't think it was Tony Hatch.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I don't think it was him, no.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It's between Ronnie Hazlehurst and Simon May.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00What was the TV show again?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04HUMS THEME TUNE
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Michael Crawford...- It doesn't sound like a Ronnie Hazlehurst theme.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I think it's Simon May.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10To be honest, I'm not sure.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- It's either between...- I would have to guess between one of those two.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I'd probably go for Simon May.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- What do you reckon? - I don't know.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Shall we go for Simon May?
0:25:19 > 0:25:20We might as well go for Simon May.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Simon May, we think, please. - Eggheads?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- ALL:- Ronnie Hazlehurst.- Oh!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Sorry!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29OK, your question, Eggheads, to take the lead.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Of which country was Gudni Johannesson
0:25:31 > 0:25:35elected president in 2016?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Sounds Icelandic.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It sounds a bit Icelandic.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Sounds Icelandic.- And they did have a presidential election in 2016.- OK.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- And Sweden has a prime minister. - Norway's a monarchy.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51They're monarchies, aren't they, so they don't have presidents.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56- No presidents.- So we've got to go Iceland, haven't we?- Yeah.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58We're going to go Iceland, please, Jeremy.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Iceland is quite right. So they've taken the lead.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04This one to stay in the contest.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06If you get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Which of these is a variety of apple brought to the UK
0:26:09 > 0:26:11from Italy in the 2000s?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20It's only 2000s.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21THEY CHUCKLE
0:26:21 > 0:26:22It's a pure guess, isn't it?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Vermeer's Dutch. What was Rembrandt, then?
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Rembrandt wasn't Italian, I think he was Dutch.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Rubens...
0:26:30 > 0:26:31I would go with Rubens, actually.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- You're the boss. - You're the boss.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Only because it's ruby red, Rubens...- Ah, go on.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Let's go for it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Rubens, we'll give it a try.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Rubens is right.- Oh, yes!
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's working for you.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51OK, 2-2, very tight but, Eggheads, you've got a question in hand here.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Get this right and the contest is over.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Which word means the study of the nature, origin
0:26:57 > 0:27:00and limits of human knowledge?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Epistemology, yeah.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Epistemology.- I'm not too sure what axiology is,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11but I presume it's to do with axioms.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14But phenomenology is a different branch of philosophy all together.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17The theory of knowledge is epistemology.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Epistemology.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22We believe that's epistemology, please, Jeremy.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23OK.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26If you've got it right the contest is over.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28The correct answer is epistemology.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- DAVE:- Well played, lads.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34APPLAUSE
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Yeah, and a relief to you, Eggheads, after the last game
0:27:40 > 0:27:42ended in tragedy.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Well, commiserations, Challengers.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47On a good day they're strong, there's no doubt about that.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- I hope you enjoyed playing. - Very much so.- It's been great fun.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Commiserations, Seaviewers. Great to see you.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:55 > 0:27:58and they reign supreme over quizland once again.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00It does mean you won't be going home with the £1,000,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Your great relief, you'll be able to try and get a roll together.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I wonder, if at some point in the future,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10we'll ask if you are actually unbeatable Eggheads?
0:28:10 > 0:28:15Challengers, thank you very much for my sculpture of me, as well.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16I'll find a place for that.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers,
0:28:19 > 0:28:20a, can do sculpture and
0:28:20 > 0:28:22b, have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24£2,000 says they don't.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Until then, from all of us here, goodbye.
