0:00:06 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:28 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today are...
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Now, this group of keen walkers
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are all members of the Stoke and Newcastle Ramblers
0:00:42 > 0:00:43in Staffordshire.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44So, let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Susan. I'm a retired social worker.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Stephen and I'm a retired biology lecturer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Doreen and I'm a retired midwife.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Rob and I'm a retired science lecturer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Peter, a freelance journalist.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06So, Susan and team, welcome. And you ramble and quiz?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08You ramble together and quiz separately, is that right? Yes.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12The common connection is the rambling. OK.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We're all members of the local club
0:01:15 > 0:01:18and we walk in the local area,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22into Derbyshire, Cheshire, surrounding areas.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24We have weekends away, holidays...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Lovely. This is all reminding me of one of my brother's jokes
0:01:26 > 0:01:29where he says, "I rang the local rambling society,
0:01:29 > 0:01:30"this bloke just went on and on."
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Yeah, yeah. Sorry.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Tim will be furious with me because I always mess up his jokes, as well.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Good luck, everybody. Thank you.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Every day, there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:40 > 0:01:41for our Challengers.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49So, Rambling Away, the Eggheads have won the last six games, which means
0:01:49 > 0:01:52there's ?7,000 for you to win today.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film TV.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57So, Susan, who would like this?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Anybody prefer Film TV?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I'm happy with anything, yeah. Peter? Yeah. OK.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05So Peter is going to go with that one.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08OK, Peter, freelance journalist on the end there.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Against which Egghead?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We're still getting the measure of the new ones, to be honest.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I can't really help you. New to the team, how about Steve? All right.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19But didn't you do Film TV last time, in your first outing?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Well, it very nearly did me, but, yes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Yes, it very nearly did you, you're right. So let's see.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Rain in some more artillery on Steve's knowledge
0:02:26 > 0:02:28and see how you go, Peter.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Peter from Rambling Away, Steve from the Eggheads.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And to ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36would you please take your positions in our very special Question Room?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Steve, do you feel settled as an Egghead now?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42As time goes on, Jeremy, I'm feeling more and more confident and
0:02:42 > 0:02:45settled into the role, so, hopefully, I'll continue to improve.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I'm not sure that there'll ever be
0:02:47 > 0:02:49as hard a contest as that Make Me An Egghead.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50My goodness,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53it was extraordinary, the quizzing on that.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Well, people won't believe I'm only 15. It's aged me.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59LAUGHTER
0:02:59 > 0:03:01So, it's Film TV. That's the category.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04And, Peter, you can choose first or second. First, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Good luck against our new Egghead, Steve.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Esme Young and Patrick Grant have appeared as judges on which
0:03:14 > 0:03:16TV talent competition?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Right, well, I don't know this, but I've watched The X Factor
0:03:23 > 0:03:26a fair amount and I don't think they've been on that.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I wouldn't have thought it would be The Apprentice,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30so I'll go for The Great British Sewing Bee.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Yes, you're right, The Great British Sewing Bee it is.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34OK, here's your question, Steve.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37In the TV series The Man From Uncle,
0:03:37 > 0:03:42the dastardly organisation THRUSH's acronym stood for
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Technical Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables
0:03:46 > 0:03:48and the Subjugation of what?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Ah, right.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'd never actually known that before you said it, Jeremy,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00to be fair, so I suppose, if you don't know,
0:04:00 > 0:04:01they're all equally plausible,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05but if it's a villainous organisation that's basically
0:04:05 > 0:04:08aiming to overthrow mankind, hopefully, it would be Humanity.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12It is Technical Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and
0:04:12 > 0:04:15the Subjugation of Humanity. Well done, Steve.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Peter, your question.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19In the Alan Partridge TV series, what was the name of Alan's
0:04:19 > 0:04:22assistant, played by Felicity Montagu?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Right. I did see a few of them.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31The one that immediately comes to mind is Jenny, but I am by
0:04:31 > 0:04:33no means sure.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I'm just trying to run them over in my head. Susan, Lynn...
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Um, no, I'm not terribly sure. I'll have to go for Jenny.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Do you know, I think I might have done that as well.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47But I would've been wrong. And I'm afraid you're wrong. It's Lynn.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Steve, the 2015 film
0:04:48 > 0:04:53Love And Friendship is based on which novel by Jane Austen?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Right. I've not seen it, so I'm clutching a bit.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I know they are all written by Jane Austen.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Probably the least known of the three would be Lady Susan,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10which might point me in that direction.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I've nothing to go on, really. I'll say Lady Susan.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16OK, Lady Susan is right. It is very good quizzing, well done.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Two to the Eggheads and, at the moment,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20one to you, Peter.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It means you need to get this one right.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Who stars as the writer of stories for children's comics
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Felix Wilkinson in the early Ealing comedy film Hue And Cry?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I think I remember seeing this many years ago.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I'm pretty sure it is not Alec Guinness or Gordon Jackson.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I would go for Alastair Sim.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44What do you think, Challengers?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Yes. Yes, they all like that on your side.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well done, Peter, Alastair Sim is right.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50So, you're level,
0:05:50 > 0:05:51but, Steve, you have a chance
0:05:51 > 0:05:53to take the round with your third question.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57In the 1986 film Heartburn, Meryl Streep and
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Jack Nicholson's husband-and-wife characters share what occupation?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Mm, right.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11For a minute, I was thinking tramp, but I think that is Ironweed.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13So that's got me off on the wrong foot.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I'm struggling to remember the film.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I've no doubt seen it because I love both of those actors.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23I will hope I'm right and say doctor. OK.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Journalist is the answer, Steve. Right, yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28After three questions each, the scores are level.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30We go to Sudden Death.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Peter, it gets a bit harder, I don't give you different options.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36In which TV series did David Duchovny play
0:06:36 > 0:06:39a character nicknamed Spooky?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Right, I think I can remember the series,
0:06:41 > 0:06:42but I can't remember the name of it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45And he had...a female sidekick.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Um...
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Tales Of The... Something in California. X-Files!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Yes, you're right. Well done.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56OK, Steve, your question. Sudden Death.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00What is the title of the BBC TV drama series first broadcast
0:07:00 > 0:07:04in 2014 that follows the lives of six pregnant women and their
0:07:04 > 0:07:08partners who meet at a local parent craft class?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Ha. I think this is me saying goodbye.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Erm...
0:07:15 > 0:07:19No, I can't even guess, to be honest. I really don't know.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21In The Club is the answer, Steve.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Right. In The Club.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25So, well done, Peter. That dredging of the X-Files
0:07:25 > 0:07:28has won you the round. Great work.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30You took on an Egghead and you triumphed.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33And for the first time, we're going to lose Steve from a final.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36First time for everything. Do come back to us, we'll play on.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41As it stands, Rambling Away have not lost any brains from the final.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43This is good. We've got to remember this moment, guys.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45You're doing well.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47You've knocked an Egghead out, one of the newest Eggheads.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51First time it's happened to him as well. The next subject is Science.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53So, who would like this? This is...Stephen?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Yeah, yeah. It looks like it's me.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58It's so funny, cos I realised you've got two retired science
0:07:58 > 0:08:00lecturers here, so this is a good...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Cos you are as well, Rob, aren't you? Uh-huh. OK.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06So it's going to be Stephen, against which Egghead? We think Pat.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10You are going to hurl yourself at Pat, OK. It has to be done.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Stephen from Rambling Away versus Pat from the Eggheads on Science.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16You love your science, Pat, don't you? Yeah. Science is good.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Good stuff.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25So, Stephen, biology is your subject? Correct, yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27And I mentioned you've got two science people on the team, so
0:08:27 > 0:08:32this is a strong area, really. Well, I hope so, but we'll see.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35All right, so, Science we're on, do you want to go first or second?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36I'll go first, please.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Stephen, good luck. Here we go with your first question.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45What is a young cod known as?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Uh, well, codette and coddini
0:08:54 > 0:08:57don't sound like British terms,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00and cod is, you know, a British/Scandinavian fish,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02so I'll go for codling.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I love your logic. You're right. Codling is correct.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Pat, your question.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12When did the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler discover the
0:09:12 > 0:09:16apparent change in frequency of waves caused by relative
0:09:16 > 0:09:19motion that we now refer to as the Doppler effect?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I think it's surprisingly late.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Certainly not 1042.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I don't think it's 1442.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I think he was a 19th-century scientist, so I'm going for 1842.
0:09:37 > 0:09:391842 is the right answer.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Stephen.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44What are the most common causes of pneumonia in adults?
0:09:49 > 0:09:55Pneumonia. I think it's a bacterium. Isn't it pneumococcus?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I think it is a bacteria.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Yeah, bacteria is right.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Pat, your question.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Native to Central and South America, the jaguarundi is a small,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11dark, unspotted wildcat whose swimming ability
0:10:11 > 0:10:14has led to it being also known by what name?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Whale cat seems slightly unlikely.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27A confection for a small member of the cat family, a whale.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30A whale suggests bulk and sort of a marine creature,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33so that seems false.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34A dog cat?
0:10:34 > 0:10:39There are armies of small mammals that are sort of kind of like
0:10:39 > 0:10:41cats and kind of like dogs,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44but seeing as swimming is in the question and the otter is
0:10:44 > 0:10:47a quintessentially superlative swimmer,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I think I'll go for otter cat.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Otter cat is right.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54OK.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Stephen, your question.
0:10:55 > 0:11:01A year on Venus lasts approximately how many Earth days?
0:11:06 > 0:11:11That will be 225 because it is a bit nearer the Sun than the Earth,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15and so it will have a shorter year.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17That's fantastically done. Well done.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19OK, Pat.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21If you get this wrong, you'll be out.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Scopolamine, a drug obtained from plants including nightshade
0:11:26 > 0:11:31and henbane is commonly used as an effective remedy for which of
0:11:31 > 0:11:32the following?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39I've heard of the drug. I don't...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I've never paid it very much attention.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43That's a bit tricky.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46You'd think an acid reflux treatment would be some sort
0:11:46 > 0:11:51of alkali to neutralise the acidity.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56Motion sickness, serious problem, lots of different remedies.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58And blocked sinuses...
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Well, you would normally think a decongestant - menthol,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04eucalyptus or something like that.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I suppose you could...
0:12:06 > 0:12:07You could have drugs targeted...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10There are drugs targeted at these conditions.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Scopolamine.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I'll go for motion sickness.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Yeah. Complete stab.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Eggheads, do you know?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I don't know for certain, but henbane and nightshade contain
0:12:22 > 0:12:26alkaloids, and alkaloids affect the brain, so of those three,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28motion sickness would seem to be the likeliest candidate.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Mm! Good thinking, Barry.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Motion sickness is correct. Well done, Pat. Good quizzing there.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Three points each.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Could be a tight round, this. Stephen, your question.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Sudden Death now, I don't give you alternative options.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46What is the SI unit of illumination?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Um...
0:12:48 > 0:12:50The lumen, I think it is.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Lumen is wrong. It's lux. Oh, well...
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's not lumen. Yeah.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58So, Pat, for the round.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03The Mercalli scale is used to measure the intensity of what?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07And that's M-E-R-C-A-L-L-I, the Mercalli scale.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13My first thought is that it is one of various scales used to
0:13:13 > 0:13:15assess the impact of earthquakes.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Let me just think on it for a moment.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19We've obviously got the Richter scale
0:13:19 > 0:13:20and the modified Richter scale.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23There's loads of them. Kanamori scale.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24I think I'll go for earthquakes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Earthquakes is your answer.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Stephen, is he right? I think he is.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Yeah, sadly from your point of view, he is. But there we go, Stephen.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Come back to us, both of you, rejoin your teams.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40OK, as it stands, Rambling Away have lost a brain from the final round,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42but the Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45So it is perfectly evenly matched. You can do this, Ramblers.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47We can do it. You can do it. And this is...
0:13:47 > 0:13:49You're going to like this round because it's Arts Books now
0:13:49 > 0:13:51and I think you are very book-y people.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54So, who would like to play this? Right, that's me.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57OK. Please. Susan, brilliant. Against which Egghead?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Who looks vulnerable? SHE LAUGHS
0:14:00 > 0:14:04I don't know about that, but I'd like to take on Beth, please. OK.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Fantastic. We're going to see what Beth is made of on Arts Books.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11So, Susan from Rambling Away versus one of our newest Eggheads.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13And to ensure there is no conferring,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16would you please take your positions in our very special Question Room?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Susan, Arts Books, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I'll go first, please.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26And here we go with your first question.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Katie Price's 2014 volume of autobiography is entitled
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Love, Lipstick And...what?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I think that would be lies.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Lies is right.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44OK, Beth. What is the man
0:14:44 > 0:14:51in Grant Wood's 1930 painting American Gothic wearing on his head?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I... Yeah, this picture's a favourite of mine, actually.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03In his hand, he's holding a pitchfork, but on his head,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05there are spectacles.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Yes, spectacles.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Susan, back to you.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler was an important figure in the
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Parisian art scene in the early part of the 20th century due to
0:15:17 > 0:15:19his work as which of the following?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Well, I don't actually know.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32I guess he could've been any of these.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36OK. Well, I'll go art dealer.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41It is art dealer, you're right. Well done. OK.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46So art dealers were important at that period, were they?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Cos they often were the ones who picked the artist
0:15:49 > 0:15:50who was up-and-coming? Yep.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52OK, Beth, your question.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Julia Jackson and Leslie Stephen were the mother and father of
0:15:56 > 0:15:57which writer?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Oh.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05This isn't something I particularly know.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11But they were obviously reasonably well known in their own right
0:16:11 > 0:16:12as well.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I'm going to go for Agatha Christie.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Eggheads, do you know? Virginia Woolf.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Virginia Woolf is the answer. Oh.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23So, we've got a point down
0:16:23 > 0:16:26on Beth's side. This is looking slightly promising now, Susan.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Get this right and your team pulls into the lead.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33You will have dispatched an Egghead.
0:16:33 > 0:16:39Henry Chinaski was the alter ego of which American writer?
0:16:44 > 0:16:50OK, well, the only name that I recognise from these three is
0:16:50 > 0:16:53William S Burroughs.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It just sounds so different.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I'll go with William S Burroughs
0:17:01 > 0:17:03just because that was sort of first instinct.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Yeah. And I don't know. It's actually Charles Bukowski. OK.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Mm-hm.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10So, you are not yet off the cliff edge,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Beth, but you will be if you get this wrong.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17The American artist Sol LeWitt was best known as an exponent of which
0:17:17 > 0:17:19art movement?
0:17:23 > 0:17:29Now, I do quite like both pop art and abstract expressionism.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Minimalism is a bit bare for me.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35There's not a lot to it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39But I'm going down the pop art route for this, Jeremy.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41OK.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43So, it's your third question, you're a point behind.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46If you've got this wrong, you are out. Do you know this one, Susan?
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Is it right, is it pop art?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I would've gone with that, yes. Yeah. Yeah.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Minimalism is the answer. Oh.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55That's a tough question.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57And, Susan, well done.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59You're in the final.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04So, is your team getting closer to the ?7,000?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Sorry, Beth, your first experience at being knocked out.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10It is. OK, first time for everything. ..a new Egghead.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Come back to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17As it stands, you're doing well. That's the summary of it.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21You've lost a brain and you've managed to take out two.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23In fact, the newest two brains...
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Is that right?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26..have been toppled. And the last subject...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Keep it up, because they can...
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Honestly, they can strike back at any time.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32The next subject is Politics, the last one before the final.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Who would like this?
0:18:34 > 0:18:35I can't take this, I'm hopeless.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Have I got to put my head on the chopping block?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Go for it. I'm afraid so, I can't do it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43HE SIGHS OK. OK, I'll take it, Jeremy.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46OK, retired science lecturer against which Egghead?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49And you can have either Judith or Barry.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51OK, Barry.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It is Barry from the Eggs against Rob from Rambling Away.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58The subject is Politics. Please go to the Question Room.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02OK, would you like to go first or second, Rob, on Politics?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'll go first, please.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Here is your first question.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12To which former British Prime Minister is the phrase
0:19:12 > 0:19:16"if the policy isn't hurting, it isn't working"
0:19:16 > 0:19:17attributed?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I don't think it's Tony Blair.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27I can't remember much of anything that John Major said.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29So I'm going to go for Margaret Thatcher.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32No. I can remember this quite well cos it was in the recession
0:19:32 > 0:19:35in the '90s, and it was actually John Major. Oh.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37OK. Barry, your question.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Which of the following was the name given to Chancellor George Osborne's
0:19:42 > 0:19:472014 proposal to boost economic growth in the north of England?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55It was The Northern Powerhouse.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57That's the correct answer.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Rob, you've got to get this...
0:19:59 > 0:20:02get this point to keep him worried. Here's your question.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Which of these terms means the abolition or repealing of a law?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13And I can repeat them if you want.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16No, that's OK, I'll go for abrogation.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Abrogation is your answer.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Yeah. It's correct. Well done, Rob.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Well done.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23All right.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Barry, your second question.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29What was the name of the body that Highways England replaced in 2015?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Well, the only one that rings any sort of recognition with
0:20:37 > 0:20:40me is the Highways Agency, so I'll go for that.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Yes, indeed. Highways Agency.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45OK, Rob, now because you got one wrong,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47you've got to get this right.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Which French president, Rob, served as mayor of Tulle
0:20:51 > 0:20:55from 2001 to 2008?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Not a clue.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05OK...
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Jacques Chirac.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09N-n-no.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Not Jacques Chirac. That's a little bit after his time.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13The answer was Francois Hollande.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Bad luck, Rob. Well done, Barry,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18you've pulled it level for the Eggheads.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Rob, you've been beaten by our Egghead,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22you won't be able to take part in the final round.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24If you both come back to us, we will play that final.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29It is time for our final round,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34But I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:34 > 0:21:36won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40So, Stephen and Rob from Rambling Away and also the two new
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Eggheads, Beth and Steve, would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Susan, Doreen and Peter, you are playing to win Rambling Away ?7,000.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Well done, you've drawn level with the Eggheads here.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Pat, Barry and Judith, you're playing for something that I
0:21:55 > 0:21:59don't think money can buy, which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06You are allowed to confer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09So, Rambling Away, the question is, can your three brains now
0:22:09 > 0:22:13defeat these three veteran Eggheads' brains here?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Awful lot riding on this.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Rambling Away, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Could we go first, please?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23OK, Doreen and team, good luck to you.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26And here is your first question.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30The Alexander technique is a system of alternative treatment
0:22:30 > 0:22:34intended primarily to improve what aspects of a person's body?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's posture. Yes, mm-hm.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42We think that's posture, Jeremy.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Posture is right, well done.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47OK, Eggheads,
0:22:47 > 0:22:53in 1991, who did Michael Stich defeat in the final to win the
0:22:53 > 0:22:55men's singles title at Wimbledon?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00OK, let's just... I think it's
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Stefan Edberg or Boris Becker, don't you?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Yes, I do, but I don't... I'm just trying to think which one.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I think Stefan Edberg. I'd be inclined to go for Stefan Edberg,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12but on no evidence whatsoever. He only won once, didn't he? Hm.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Well, I think if Stich had beaten Becker,
0:23:15 > 0:23:16it would've been an all-German final.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Does that ring any bells?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Not particularly. An all-German final?
0:23:20 > 0:23:21No, but it is a good point, though.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I don't know, let's go for Edberg. Are you happy with that?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25I don't have any strong...
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Well, we don't know, funnily enough.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30But we think...
0:23:30 > 0:23:33We're going to go for Stefan Edberg and hope for the best.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37OK, Stefan Edberg is your answer. I wonder if our new Eggheads know.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Do you know who he was playing, Michael Stich, in '91?
0:23:40 > 0:23:41We're not convinced, Jeremy,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43but both me and Beth thought it was probably Boris Becker.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45OK.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47The answer is Boris Becker.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48ALL: Oh!
0:23:48 > 0:23:51How much you needed those new Eggheads... We did. ..to save you...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Yes. ..from this ignominy.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Right, it just got even better.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00They've tripped, stumbled and fallen over the first question.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Your second.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05What is the name of the official currency of the island of Anguilla?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14ALL: East Caribbean dollar...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16West Atlantic pound...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20That sounds a bit convoluted to me.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Yeah. Northern Central America peso.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Well, the dollar is used in the Caribbean, isn't it?
0:24:27 > 0:24:28It is, isn't it?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Of those, immediately, I would go for East Caribbean dollar.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Mm. Yes. With absolutely just...
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Again, Northern Central America peso sounds a bit of a mouthful to me.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Are we happy with that? Yes. Yep.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45We think, Jeremy, it is the East Caribbean dollar.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46East Caribbean dollar is your answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Eggheads, are they right?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I think so, yeah. You are right.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Well done. Wow. Wow.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53So, they're ahead.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58Eggheads, get this wrong, you're in 17 kinds of trouble.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Slot receiver is a position in which sport?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09That's up to you, boys. Slot receiver...
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It sounds ice hockey-ish, doesn't it?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Well, in American football, they've got wide receivers,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16who run, like wingers, they run down the edge of the pitch
0:25:16 > 0:25:19and catch the quarterback's throw.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Would they have a word for somebody who runs down the middle
0:25:22 > 0:25:23to do the same thing?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27As opposed to wide... What has the slot got to do with it?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Well, just a narrow channel up the pitch, through the defence, perhaps?
0:25:31 > 0:25:32I don't know.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34There's certainly many more positions
0:25:34 > 0:25:36on an American football team than there are the other two.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I don't think...
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I don't think it is one of the standard catching positions
0:25:41 > 0:25:42in baseball, the field positions.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Slot receiver doesn't sound right.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46It sounds like somebody who waits for something.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49In ice hockey, they're going like the clappers, wheeling around...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I must admit, I'm going off ice hockey now,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53the more I think about it,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56because there are so many strange positions in American football.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58And they love their specialities. Yes.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59I'm very inclined to go for that.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Maybe it's an equivalent to the wide receiver,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03a guy who goes down the middle. I'm not sure.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05What do you want me to say?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I would go for American football. American football. OK.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Well, again, we don't know.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15But we're going to say American football and hope for the best.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17American football?
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Mm-hm. Do you know this one,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Challengers? No, we don't. New Eggheads, do you know this one?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24We'd have been inclined to do the same. Yeah, American football.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27OK. Cos you watch that, Beth, don't you? I do.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30My husband is a fan, so that makes me a default fan.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32American football is the right answer.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Thank goodness for that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Sliding around like ice hockey players, you Eggheads, today.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38My goodness!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You've caught them on a very...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Here's the key strategy we're learning from this game - take
0:26:43 > 0:26:48out the new Eggheads with as much ferocity as you can and then
0:26:48 > 0:26:50just steam-roll the veterans.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53If you get this right,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56you've won ?7,000.
0:26:56 > 0:27:02In what year did the Rolling Stones' ill-fated concert at Altamont,
0:27:02 > 0:27:03in California, take place?
0:27:10 > 0:27:11For ?7,000.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13That's when the Hells Angels... That's right.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Yes. Would it be as late as '77?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I wouldn't have thought. No. I'm sure it's not '77. No.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I think it's '69. You think it's as early as that? I do. Yeah?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26I was 13 in '73 and I've got no radar... Yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30But I feel fairly sure it was fairly...
0:27:30 > 0:27:33relatively close to Woodstock. OK.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Relatively. And the kind of conflicting cultures kind of thing.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Yes, yes. And...
0:27:40 > 0:27:44I'd say I'm like 60% on '69. '69? Right.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Yeah? OK. Yeah, I'm happy with that. Happy with that, then? Yep.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Yep, go on.
