0:00:04 > 0:00:07These 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?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Fizzing and popping with ideas today.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Sparkling as champagne.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Very good, Barry.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Now, this team are all members
0:00:42 > 0:00:45of the Hale Golf Club in Cheshire
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and regularly take part in the club's quiz nights.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Bill and I'm a freelance business consultant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Paul. I'm a university lecturer.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Tony and I'm a financial regulatory consultant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm John and I'm a finance director.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm James, I'm a retired sports journalist.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Bill and team, welcome.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- ALL:- Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Golf brings you together, Bill, is that right?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It does, yes. We all play at Hale, as you said,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13and we're all very keen golfers.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15We all play in competitions and all that kind of thing
0:01:15 > 0:01:18and occasionally, twice a year, we quiz.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And one long and convivial day,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25we thought we'd put a team into Eggheads to see how good we are at it.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27So you've run into this lot before on TV, have you?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- You know what they're about? - Yes, yes. We have, yes.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32OK. You've got two new Eggheads there as well,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34so that's going to be exciting.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And I always think a divot is maybe not what you're aiming for in golf,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- is that right?- No, it's what you SHOULD aim for but we don't,
0:01:40 > 0:01:41that's the problem.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43We have two good golfers in the team who probably do
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- but the rest of us don't.- OK.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Every day there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52However, if you fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55So, Flying Divots,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59the Eggheads were hitting the grass with the golf clubs
0:01:59 > 0:02:01for a number of games and a bit unsteady
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and then they won the last four.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05So they're on a bit of a streak now.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08It means there's £5,000 to play for today.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Would you like to try and win it?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Yes, we would.- Thought so!
0:02:11 > 0:02:14The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So who would like Film & TV? What's the plan?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- It's me.- Yeah.- It's me, yeah.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21I'm afraid that's me.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Oh, the skipper goes in straightaway.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26OK. And against which Egghead?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27It can be anyone of the five.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I think I'll... Beth, I think.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Brilliant. The newest Egghead.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37So, Bill from Flying Divots versus Beth from the Flying Eggheads.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44So, Bill, I gather when you turned 60
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- you were in the mosh pit at Bruce Springsteen?- I was indeed.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49It was absolutely fantastic.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- No better place to be. - Oh, it was wonderful.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Is that where they let the first 3,000 people into
0:02:53 > 0:02:55this enclosed area, is it?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It is, yes. And it was at Leeds and the stage was a D,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01so we were on the inside of the D, which was absolutely fantastic.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Oh, he's still the best really live, isn't he?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Absolutely. No question about it.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Anyway, Film & TV, Bill, your choice.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:09 > 0:03:10I'll go first, please.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16OK, good luck. Win one for the golfers.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18What is the name of the fictional town
0:03:18 > 0:03:21that is the setting for The Simpsons?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I'm not a big fan of The Simpsons, unfortunately,
0:03:27 > 0:03:32but I think, from memory, that's Springfield, I'm going to say.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Springfield is the right answer.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36OK, Film & TV.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Beth, your first question.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Who played the role of Sergeant Wilson in the 2016 film
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Dad's Army?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Sergeant Wilson, now which one's he?
0:03:52 > 0:03:58Now, pretty sure he was the second in command to Captain Mainwaring.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02And all three of these actors were in the film.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I think it was Bill Nighy.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Let's check with the Eggheads, eh? - Yes.- Yeah.- Yeah, Bill Nighy's right.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Well done. OK, back to you, Bill.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20The BBC first used action replays in sport in which decade?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Certainly not the '50s.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I'm trying to think from my time in the '60s whether we had them then.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I think I'm going to say the 1970s.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I think it's later than the '60s. Yes, the 1970s.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38It's actually the 1960s.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41OK.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Beth, your question to take the lead.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Which James Bond film features the line,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47"No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die".
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Well, it's certainly not within my lifetime of Bond films,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59so that puts out Tomorrow Never Dies.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I'm pretty sure it wasn't Octopussy.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I'm sure that line was said by Goldfinger.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Goldfinger is the right answer.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10OK, so you need to get this one right, Bill,
0:05:10 > 0:05:11to stay in against Beth.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Who directed the 1995 film Dead Man Walking
0:05:15 > 0:05:18starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Oh, now, I have no idea at all on this.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27I know the film.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31From the names in front of me...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35..I'm going to go with Michael Mann.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Beth, do you know this one?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42I have an inkling that it was Tim Robbins.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Yes, you're right. It is Tim Robbins. So, sorry, Bill.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48No way back in this round.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well done, Beth, you've taken the first round.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51But, things can change.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Come back to us. We'll see what happens next.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00OK, so the Flying Divots have lost their captain but then, as in golf,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02you can still play, can't you?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You can play on. It's not the end.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The Eggheads have not lost any so far but it is early days
0:06:07 > 0:06:08and the next subject is Politics.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Who would like this?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Politics.- Is that me? - Politics was you, Johnny.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Yeah.- Yeah.- Johnny.- John?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19OK, finance director against which Egghead?
0:06:19 > 0:06:24I've got to try and play against my all-time quiz heroine,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- which is Judith.- Ah!
0:06:27 > 0:06:28The millionaire.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32OK. John from the Flying Divots against Judith.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- That all right with you? - Yes, that's fine.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- Do you like politics?- I do quite.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39I don't dare say it, but I do quite like politics.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- You've probably had a good run. - Don't mention it, Jeremy.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44She thinks I jinx her if I say that.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Every time Jeremy mentions statistics, we lose.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Judith, I know you get cross if I mention statistics.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Oh, no, no. That's it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Well, of the current Eggheads,
0:06:58 > 0:07:02you have the most wins on Politics with 53.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Have I only done it 53 times?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I mean, no...
0:07:06 > 0:07:07That'd be 100%, wouldn't it, sorry.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10No, I don't know how many times you've, as you put it, done it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I do it very seldom.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13- You don't do it very often?- No.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15OK. Well, let's see how we go here John.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Good luck against Judith, who is a brilliant quizzer, as we know.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26And here is your first question.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Who was announced as the UK's new Foreign Secretary
0:07:29 > 0:07:31on the 13th of July 2016?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I'm so glad I did my research before I came up.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45And I think we know that Michael Gove...
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Sorry, George Osborne has gone from the Cabinet,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49so I think the answer's Boris Johnson.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Boris Johnson is the right answer, yes.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Surprise announcement, yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58OK, your question, Judith.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Lev Bronstein was the original name
0:08:01 > 0:08:04of which early communist revolutionary?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10That was Trotsky.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Brilliant, it was. Well done. Trotsky.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Back to you, John.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Which party did Herbert Asquith represent
0:08:18 > 0:08:20when he was Prime Minister of Great Britain
0:08:20 > 0:08:23between 1908 and 1916?
0:08:26 > 0:08:31I'm not 100% sure but I know around then
0:08:31 > 0:08:35there was a little run of Liberal MPs, I think,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38certainly Lloyd George was around then, wasn't he?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So that's the one I'm looking at.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42I'm going to say Liberal.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Is he right, Judith?- Yes, he's right.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Yes, Liberal's right.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Judith, your question.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52The UK government department created in 2009
0:08:52 > 0:08:57known as BIS is the Department for Business Innovation and what?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Business, Innovation and...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I think, it's Business, Innovation and Skills.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10It is indeed skills.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12OK.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Your question, John.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Which French politician became the president of the European Commission
0:09:18 > 0:09:21in 1985 and served in the role for ten years?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be Sarkozy.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36And I'm sure it's not Hollande, because he's there.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38So I'm going to say Jacques Delors.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Yeah, that's right. 1985, so he was, I seem to remember,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43clashing with Mrs Thatcher a lot.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Jacques Delors.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46OK, Judith,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48you've got to get this right.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Since 1991, Clarence Thomas has been a senior figure
0:09:52 > 0:09:55in which body in the United States?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I think he is the Supreme Court.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05He is the Supreme Court, well done.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08You're three each. We go to Sudden Death.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11John, it gets a little bit harder cos I don't give you different options.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16In 2000, who was inaugurated as the first elected Mayor of London?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I have got to say Ken Livingstone.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Yes, it is Ken Livingstone.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Re-elected in 2004 and lost to Boris Johnson in 2008.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Judith, to stay in.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34The Folketing is the national parliament
0:10:34 > 0:10:36of which European country?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39The Folketing? F-A-L...
0:10:39 > 0:10:41F-O-L-K-E-T-I-N-G.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I'm going to really kick myself. This is all your fault, Jeremy.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48The Folketing.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49I think it's Iceland.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52BARRY GROANS OK.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Well, Barry gave us a little talk the other day
0:10:54 > 0:10:57where he said we need to know our lower houses to be quizzers.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Yes, exactly.- And who wasn't listening? Go on.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Well, Iceland is the Althing.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Norway is the Storting.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Finland is the Eduskunta.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And Folketing is Denmark.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Yes. Get in there!- Yes, absolutely right.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Denmark is the answer.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I should have known that from lovely Borgen, too.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Oh, of course, Borgen.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Which I was glued to.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Judith, well played as always. You've just been pipped to the post.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Well done, John.- Thank you.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21On Sudden Death, through to the final round.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23So you've evened it up for the Challengers.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Oh, have we got a tight contest coming? I think so.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Please return and we'll play on.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33So, the Flying Divots have lost that brain but the Eggheads have now lost
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Judith as well, which can make things very tricky in the final.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38The next subject is Food & Drink.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Who would like this?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- I think that's...- I think that's James, food, isn't it?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Yeah, James on the algorithm. - James? OK, good stuff.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50And, James, against which Egghead? You can't have Judith or Beth.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Steve?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I think I'd like to take on Steve please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Another new Egghead. All right, into the firing line.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00James will be flying his divots at Steve.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02JEREMY LAUGHS
0:12:02 > 0:12:04You're going to be warding off the divots in there.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06All right, let's go to the Question Room now.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- James, you love your golf. - I do indeed. I'm a very bad player.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14But you've played at Augusta, I gather?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I have indeed, yes. Marvellous experience.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17So, how many times?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I only played it once but I've been there for 26 years as a journalist.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Oh, tremendous. Who were you working for as a journalist?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Sunday Express and then the Sunday Telegraph.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27And were those good years?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Marvellous years. In the '90s when several Europeans, Brits,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33won the Green Jacket, all great stuff.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Yeah, and you were probably in newspapers at the right time as well.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I think so. We had, as we say, the golden age.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Yeah, yeah.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43So Food & Drink, James.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46At least half of that journalists are usually quite good at.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Would you like to go first or second?
0:12:47 > 0:12:48I think I'll go first, please.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54And all the best to you, James. Here we go.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Which of these foods can be categorised as long grain,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00medium grain and short grain?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I think that's rice.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Rice is correct.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Steve, your question.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12The traditional dish of boiled bacon and cabbage
0:13:12 > 0:13:15is most closely associated with where?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I'd like to see Pat's face right now because if it's what I'm thinking,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I'm hoping he's smiling.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25I don't associate it with Cornwall.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Wales, boiled bacon and cabbage?
0:13:30 > 0:13:35I'm really not sure but the more I think about it, the less I know.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39But my first thought was Ireland, so I will go Ireland.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Yes, Ireland is right. Well done.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43One each. Back to you, James.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45In which of these locations did curry goat
0:13:45 > 0:13:49become a regional speciality after possibly having been introduced
0:13:49 > 0:13:51from India?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Well, I came here to do Sport
0:13:56 > 0:14:00but I think that may well have emigrated to Jamaica.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Yeah, Jamaica's right. Well done.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07I agree, it's quite a long way from a sporting round, this, isn't it?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Not sure how you copped for this but anyway.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Steve, the long established wines of Hermitage and St Joseph
0:14:16 > 0:14:18are from the valley of which French river?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25There's probably a clue in that somewhere.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Judith'll be saying it's right on border on one of the rivers.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30I just do not know.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Because it's a valley and because it's a river,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I'm going to say Loire with no real conviction at all.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39OK, well Judith lived in France for many years.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Judith, was this near you?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42No.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Is burgundy on the Rhone? I don't know.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- It's the Rhone.- Right.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47So Rhone is the answer, Steve.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Back to you, James.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Your third question.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Get this right, you've won the round.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57In which century was the Cox's Orange Pippin
0:14:57 > 0:15:01bred by Richard Cox, from Colnbrook, in Buckinghamshire?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Oh, it's going to be a guess.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09The 17th century.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- James, it's actually the 19th.- OK.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14So, Steve has a chance
0:15:14 > 0:15:16to draw level.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Which established cocktail is typically made from gin,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22orange juice, grenadine and absinthe?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Cocktails ain't really my thing but I do believe a sidecar
0:15:29 > 0:15:33has cointreau in it, so I'm going to discount that one.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I'll try a monkey gland, for what it's worth, but I don't know.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38OK, any Eggs know? Beth, do you know this?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Yeah, we're pretty sure it's a monkey gland.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yeah, monkey gland is the right answer. Well done, Steve.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Good quizzing, a little bit of Daphne there, spirit of Daphne.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46So, equal after three questions.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Scores level. We go to Sudden Death.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It gets a bit harder, James, cos I don't give you different options.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Which well-known chef published the influential cookbook White Heat
0:15:57 > 0:15:58in 1990?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I'll go Heston Blumenthal.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Watching the Eggs play day after day I learn their little techniques
0:16:06 > 0:16:08and they search the question for clues
0:16:08 > 0:16:11and the clue in the title is the word white
0:16:11 > 0:16:13and the answer is Marco Pierre White.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16JAMES GROANS Steve, your question for the round.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Which fruit of the genus musa grows in clusters or tears
0:16:22 > 0:16:24that are called hands?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I think that's bananas, Jeremy.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Bananas is the right answer, Steve. Well done.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32On Sudden Death you've taken the round.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Sorry, James. Beaten by our Egghead, it does happen.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37And as a result you will not be able to assist your team
0:16:37 > 0:16:38in the final round.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41But, the race is not over for these finalists.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42They can still win, no question.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Please come back, we'll play the next round.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49So, as it stands, the Flying Divots have lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51The Eggheads have just lost the one.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And the last subject before the final is Geography.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57So, which of the Divots wants this?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59That was me, one of mine. Yeah.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Yeah. I'll take Geography.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04OK, Tony, against which Egghead?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06And it can't be Steve, Beth or Judith.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Right, well, I think it's got to be Barry,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11as a fellow admirer of a proper loud shirt.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16I think I'd better go with my fellow man of excellent taste in shirts.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Good stuff. So Tony from the Flying Divots
0:17:19 > 0:17:21to play our own Barry the Brain from the Eggheads.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Geography's the subject. Tony, do you want to go first or second?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35And here we go with your first question, Tony.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Which city in Northern Ireland is the largest in terms of population?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Right, Jeremy, I do go over to Northern Ireland on business
0:17:46 > 0:17:49a few times and I'm pretty sure that would be Belfast.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Belfast is correct.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Barry, on to you.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Which is the largest state by area in Australia?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Well Western Australia covers about half of the Australian continent,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09so it just has to be Western Australia.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Western Australia is quite right.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13What are the cities in Western Australia, then?
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Perth is the main city.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Right. Western Australia. Well done. OK, Tony.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Cwmbran, established as a new town in 1949,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24is roughly five miles north of which Welsh city?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Right, Jeremy, not completely sure about that
0:18:31 > 0:18:35but I know St Asaph is in North Wales,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Bangor is on the way to Anglesey
0:18:39 > 0:18:41and I'm pretty sure Cwmbran is in the south,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43so I think that's Newport.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Newport is correct, good logic and good quizzing.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48OK, no-one's got anything wrong yet.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Barry, the River Oder, as it is known in Germany,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55rises in the Czech Republic and flows into which sea?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Well, the Oder and the Neisse used to be the borders between Germany
0:19:02 > 0:19:06and Poland and on that principle it would flow into the North Sea.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Ah! I meant the Baltic Sea!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Sorry.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Barry, just as you left us here in the studio,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19you said this time I'm going to listen to the questions.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I don't know what came over me there.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23OK, Baltic Sea is the answer.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24So, well,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I don't want to say that's handy, Tony, but it is.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29If you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33The city of Laayoune is the largest in which of the world's
0:19:33 > 0:19:35disputed regions?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Could you spell that please, Jeremy? - Yes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46L-A-A-Y-O-U-N-E.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49It doesn't sound like the Western Sahara to me.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Sierra Leone.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Nagorno-Karabakh, doesn't seem to me
0:19:57 > 0:19:59to maybe share the same kind of spelling.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02So, if in doubt, as we say, go down the middle.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I'm going to say Somaliland.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Western Sahara is the answer, Tony.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09So, you've given Barry
0:20:09 > 0:20:11a little bit of a let off there, Tony.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Barry, you can catch up with this answer.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Which of these phenomena is associated with a Benioff zone?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Now I've heard of a Benioff zone
0:20:25 > 0:20:28and I've always associated it with earthquakes.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30So that is my answer.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33OK. You're not pulling in the North Sea on this one or anything?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37No, no. I've thought about this for at least two seconds here.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I can see you're treading carefully.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Earthquakes is right. Well done, Barry. Back on track.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43So, level
0:20:43 > 0:20:46after three questions, Tony. We go to Sudden Death.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I don't give you alternative options.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Tony, what is the traditional county town of Devon?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55The traditional county town of Devon...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I think it might be Launceston.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02It's... No, it's not. It's Exeter.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04HE GROANS
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Barry, for the round.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08What is the capital of Guatemala?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Well, you're not going to believe this when I tell you
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I've actually been to Guatemala.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Of course.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18And I do believe the capital of Guatemala
0:21:18 > 0:21:20is the...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23interestingly-named Guatemala City.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28That answer from Barry 'I've been to every question' Simmons...
0:21:29 > 0:21:31..is correct. Guatemala City it is.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Sorry, Tony. Knocked out on Sudden Death with Barry.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36He doesn't give you that many openings
0:21:36 > 0:21:38and you didn't quite get stuck in when you had to
0:21:38 > 0:21:41and Barry will be in the final.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Please come back to us and we'll see what happens in that final round.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48This is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49It is time for the final round.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51It is, as always, General Knowledge
0:21:51 > 0:21:53but I'm afraid those of you
0:21:53 > 0:21:56who lost your head-to-heads are not allowed to take part.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59So, Bill, Tony and James from the Flying Divots,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01but also Judith from the Eggheads,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Paul and John, you are playing to win the Flying Divots £5,000.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Now, Pat, Beth, Steve and Barry, it's a bit more complicated for you.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15You're playing for the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21You can confer.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24So, Flying Divots, the question is, are your two brains
0:22:24 > 0:22:26able to take down the Eggheads' four?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30We'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37All the best to you. Here we go. Final round for £5,000.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41For what do the letters R and A stand in the name of the politician
0:22:41 > 0:22:45known as Rab Butler, who served as Chancellor in the 1950s?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53This is where my politics falls apart.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I think I'm...- Well, hang on, just think about it. Rab.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- RA Butler.- It's going to be Robert, isn't it?
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Rab is short for a Scottish version of Robert.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Yeah.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08So, I would... The best bet is going on the centre, Robert Alfred.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I agree with that.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Can we go for Robert Alfred please, Jeremy?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Robert Alfred. I hear an intake of breath here from the Eggheads.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- You think they're wrong? - Richard Austen.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Richard Austen is the answer.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22OK, Eggheads.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27The Whitebeam, or Sorbus aria, native to the UK,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29is a species of what?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- It's tree.- Is it a tree?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Are you saying whitebeam? - Whitebeam.- Yes, thank you.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Whitebeam's a tree.- It's a tree, yes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- I thought he said white bean. - Yeah, me too.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43We think that's a tree, Jeremy.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Tree is correct.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47OK, Challengers,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50your second question.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Which Hollywood star was married to eight women,
0:23:52 > 0:23:58including the actresses Ava Gardner, Martha Vickers and Elaine Devry?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Mickey Rooney, isn't it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- He was married quite a lot.- He was, yeah.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I think that's probably true actually.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Serial marrier, people who have been serially married,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I think Mickey Rooney's, I think, our informed guess.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Mickey Rooney is your answer? - It is, yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Mickey Rooney is correct. Well done.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Eggheads, back to you. Which Gershwin song features the lines
0:24:28 > 0:24:31"I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
0:24:31 > 0:24:33"I know I could always be good"?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I think it's Someone To Watch Over Me.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Yeah. Yeah.- I'll bow to your superior knowledge.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I think so, yeah. I think it's...the original song.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Is it?- Just go over it, make sure. - Yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51If I had someone to watch over me...
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- BARRY:- # If I was lost in a wood, always be good...
0:24:53 > 0:24:55# Someone...
0:24:55 > 0:24:58# Someone to watch over me. #
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- ..you just need two.- People like Ella Fitzgerald have sung this.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04That's Someone To Watch Over Me.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I was enjoying the rendition.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I wasn't sure it was leading you to the answer.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I was just waiting for something to happen there.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Someone To Watch Over Me is correct. Two out of two.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15OK, you need to get this one right
0:25:15 > 0:25:17to stay in the contest, Challengers.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20If you do, they can come unstuck.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22If you don't, it's over.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27In which part of the body are the glands of moll?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28M-O-L-L.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Glands. - Yeah.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36You've got...
0:25:36 > 0:25:41In your eyes, you've got little things that secrete your...
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Literally everything there has got glands, hasn't it?- OK.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Moll.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Anything in the word at all that's giving us a clue?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Nothing in derivation or anything is there?- No.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01What, what's your first answer?
0:26:01 > 0:26:06I'm thinking eyelid but, I mean, I don't know. I don't know.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08We might as well go with that, don't you think?
0:26:08 > 0:26:13It is a complete guess, Jeremy, but neither of us are medics
0:26:13 > 0:26:16so we're going to go for eyelid, please.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Eyelid is your answer.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Let's see, Eggheads?
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Glands of moll?
0:26:21 > 0:26:22We're not sure either, are we?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I prefer eyelid by elimination but I don't know it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Eyelid is the answer.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Well done.- Well done.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- So you've got two out of three. - Yeah.- You've done well.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Now we see if the Eggheads
0:26:32 > 0:26:35can take the contest with the third question.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Which Second World War Luftwaffe aircraft
0:26:39 > 0:26:42was nicknamed The Flying Pencil?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Now, I've heard this and the first answer that came up to my mind
0:26:52 > 0:26:54was the Dornier 17.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Dornier occurred to me as well.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- OK.- That's it, then.- I'm pretty certain.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I think Focke-Wulf is a jet of some sort.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Yes.- And I'm sure it's not the Junkers.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'm pretty sure it's the Dornier 17.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- If you two have got it...- Well, it rings a bell.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10..then that's good enough for me.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12We're not certain Jeremy but we have...
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Bells have rung for the Dornier 17.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18You said Dornier 17.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21The Luftwaffe aircraft nicknamed The Flying Pencil
0:27:21 > 0:27:23was the Dornier 17.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Yes, good solid play there from the Eggs.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36It's hard when they get three out of three.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Did you know the last one there?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42We were having an informed guess but again it was exactly the same
0:27:42 > 0:27:44as the previous question, it was just a grasp in the dark.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And, obviously, you've seen it somewhere, Barry?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- Pat, have you seen it in a museum or something or...?- I've read it somewhere.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51- In a book.- A book?
0:27:51 > 0:27:52- Perhaps.- A what?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Or the internet. Who knows?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Right, so seen a bit of dialogue in a novel,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01somebody says "the Dornier, which was known as The Flying Pencil,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03was the favourite of my mother's".
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Well, they had all sorts of strange aeroplanes.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08They had asymmetric aeroplanes and skinny aeroplanes, the Germans.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- They were quite adventurous.- All right.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Well, we learn something all the time. I certainly do.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Thank you, Eggheads.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Commiserations...- Thank you. - ..to our brilliant Flying Divots.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, most of the time,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21and they reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23It does mean that you're not going home with the £5,000,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Eggheads, very well done.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I think you can walk with a bit of swagger now, but not too much.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:33 > 0:28:35can stop them in their tracks.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37£6,000 says they can't.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
