0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Taking on our quiz champions today are Where's The Cue Ball Going?
0:00:35 > 0:00:36from Hertfordshire.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, this team is made up of two rival teams
0:00:39 > 0:00:43who quiz regularly at The Bull in Broxbourne.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45The men in the team started attending the quiz when their
0:00:45 > 0:00:48local snooker hall closed down. Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Martin and I'm a magician.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53I'm Phil and I'm a cinema manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Narin and I'm a foster carer.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Tony and I'm a sales manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Jane and I'm a flute teacher.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- Martin and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Hi, Jeremy.- Hi.- Hi.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Just tell us, then, the snooker hall closing down sounds a bit sad.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Yeah, we played regularly up the snooker hall for probably
0:01:10 > 0:01:12about 30 years of our life, every Monday night, and then
0:01:12 > 0:01:15unfortunately it turned into a church a couple of years ago.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18So instead of having a night out at snooker,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20we attended a local quiz and that's me,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24my brother Phil and Tony, and that's where we met
0:01:24 > 0:01:27a rival team with Jane and Narin in and we sort of was
0:01:27 > 0:01:30a bit low on numbers one night, so we merged forces,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32so we formed one almighty team.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33OK, I love the phrase,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35"Unfortunately it turned into a church."
0:01:35 > 0:01:36LAUGHTER
0:01:36 > 0:01:38And you're a magician as well.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yes, I've been a professional magician for about the last,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- probably about the last 16 years, yes.- Right. Brilliant.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- And can you make these five disappear?- Yeah, I'm going to...
0:01:47 > 0:01:51tamper with their minds a little bit and confuse them as much as
0:01:51 > 0:01:52- I confuse my own team. - So, good luck, team.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:54 > 0:01:56up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05So, Where's The Cue Ball Going? - the Eggheads are on a roll now,
0:02:05 > 0:02:06they've won the last five.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09They're feeling a bit confident, they're feeling -
0:02:09 > 0:02:12dare I say it - a tiny bit smug and you need to stop them.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14£6,000 on the table if you do.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Would you like to try now?
0:02:16 > 0:02:17- Definitely, yeah.- Great stuff.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- so who would like this?- Well, I think we've got one music man here.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- We have a genius.- Tony against which Egghead?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27You can have any one of a five, including the two new ones.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Yeah, I'll take Barry. - Yeah, he's going to take Barry out.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32No hesitation there, was there?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34We discussed this on the train down and unfortunately your name
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- came out top.- All right. Good stuff.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38So Tony from Where's The Cue Ball Going?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41versus Barry from the Eggheads on Music
0:02:41 > 0:02:44and, please, go to our famous Question Room now.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46All right, Music, Tony. Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I'll go first.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57Which former Beatle released the 2007 album Memory Almost Full?
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Is it...?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I've never heard of it. Erm...
0:03:06 > 0:03:09He still does a load of music, so I'm going to go Paul McCartney
0:03:09 > 0:03:10on that basis.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Yeah, that's good. Paul McCartney it is.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17OK, Barry, your question.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Who represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest
0:03:20 > 0:03:24in 1993 with the song Better The Devil You Know?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Was it...?
0:03:27 > 0:03:33Oh, goodness. I don't think it was Dana, she was Irish I think. 1993?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36That sounds a bit late for Lulu. I'll go for Sonia.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Brilliant illumination actually. Sonia's right.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42OK, Tony.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Which group topped the US charts with the song My Girl in 1965?
0:03:51 > 0:03:52I can sing it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55It's one of those, they're all very similar sort of groups, aren't they?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I'm not going to go for The Platters.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'm going to go for The Temptations.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05The Temptations is the right answer, Tony. You got there. Brilliant.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Barry, which American band topped
0:04:07 > 0:04:12the British charts in 1999 with the single Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Is it...?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I don't think it was No Doubt.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I don't know this, so I'm going to have to take a guess.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I don't think it was No Doubt, I'll go for Linkin Park.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25- Dave?- Offspring.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Offspring is the answer.- I went the wrong way!- Went the wrong way.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32So a little moment now. Tony, get this right,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- you're in the final round. - Here we go.- Come on, Tony.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Who wrote the music and lyrics for the 1920s Broadway musical
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Fifty Million Frenchmen,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44which included the song You Do Something To Me?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Erm, I really don't know.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55The first two have been As. I'm not going to go for A.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58So it's B or C.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I'm going to go Gershwin.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Eggheads?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- I think it's Cole Porter. - Cole Porter is the answer.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Oh!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11So, Barry, this to stay in.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Written in the 1730s,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Alexander's Feast is an ode with music by which composer?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23It's not Mendelssohn, that's much too early.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Handel, that would fit for Handel,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28but it might just fit for Telemann as well.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Telemann was the most prolific composer who has ever lived,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35wrote more music than any other man in history.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Not quite sure on the dates of Telemann, so I'm going to go
0:05:38 > 0:05:40for Handel, because I know that would fit for Handel.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43OK, well, your swerve was a good one, Barry. Handel is right.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Well done. Three questions each,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47the scores are level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Tony, it gets a bit harder, because I don't give you different options.
0:05:51 > 0:05:57Who had the UK top ten single Hotline Bling in 2015?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Never heard of the song. 2015...
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Erm...it's going to be a complete guess.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'm going to say... Hotline Bling...
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Beyonce.- Beth, do you know?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Well, according to my esteemed colleague, Drake.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Drake is the answer. Drake.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Barry, for the round.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22In which UK town is the Orchestra of the Swan based?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I have never heard of this orchestra.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Well, I have nothing to go...
0:06:27 > 0:06:30The only thing I've got to go on was William Shakespeare was called
0:06:30 > 0:06:33the Swan of Avon. On that very loose fact
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I shall try Stratford-upon-Avon.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Barry, known as The Brain, you truly are a genius of quizzing,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42you are right. It is Stratford-upon-Avon.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I thought you might go Swansea,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48I thought that might be where the swan took you. Sorry, Tony,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51he's knocked you out. This is what they do.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Unfortunately, you've got to stop them.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01So, as it stands, Where's The Cue Ball Going? have lost a brain.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Tony, sorry.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04The Eggheads are still all there intact
0:07:04 > 0:07:06and the next subject for you is Film & TV.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08So, who would like this?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- It's got to be, yeah.- Phil.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I was going to say if you don't choose the cinema man,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17something has gone wrong. Against which Egghead? Anyone but Barry.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- You've got to take Pat.- I'm being told I've got to take Pat, so Pat.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Right. Fine. Phil from Where's The Cue Ball Going?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27versus our own Pat. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31- Good luck, Phil.- Phil, Film & TV.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I think this is the first time we've had
0:07:33 > 0:07:36a cinema manager playing this round. It's brilliant.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Yeah, the pressure's on, isn't it?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40You're up against Pat. He's very good, but you know that.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50And here we go. Which 2016 sequel was described
0:07:50 > 0:07:54by film critic Peter Bradshaw in his Guardian review
0:07:54 > 0:07:57as "planet-smashingly boring"?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Is it...?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10I haven't heard the quote, but it doesn't fit Kung Fu Panda,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12doesn't fit Now You See Me,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16so I presume it must be Independence Day: Resurgence.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Independence Day: Resurgence is right.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Pat, your question.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Who announced that he was returning
0:08:24 > 0:08:27as the presenter of The X Factor in 2016,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29a year after quitting the show?
0:08:33 > 0:08:39I think I've seen Dermot O'Leary presenting The X Factor.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Not absolutely sure.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I think I'll have to go for Dermot O'Leary.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Dermot O'Leary is right. OK.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Phil, Tubby, Baldy and Burpy were considered as possible names
0:08:51 > 0:08:55for which famous group of animated characters?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Again by elimination,
0:09:02 > 0:09:07The Hair Bear Bunch I remember quite well, because of the era.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I don't think that would fit.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12The Flintstones, I don't see that fitting either,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16so I'm guessing they could've been three of the Seven Dwarfs.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Seven Dwarfs is the right answer. This was in the news.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I remember seeing this in the news and thinking about it.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Seven Dwarfs is right. We go to Pat.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Which 2016 film broke the record
0:09:26 > 0:09:30for the most successful opening weekend of an animated film
0:09:30 > 0:09:31at the US box office?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Zootopia was sort of a one-off new film.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45The Angry Birds obviously is riding on the success of the video game,
0:09:45 > 0:09:50but Finding Dory is the sequel to Finding Nemo,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54so that's the Pixar behemoth, so of the three,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'm assuming Finding Dory would have
0:09:57 > 0:10:03a bigger push from its preceding film, so I'll go for Finding Dory.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Finding Dory. Gosh, I think this is a hard question.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Do you know this one, Phil?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Yeah, it's Finding Dory, it beat Shrek the Third's total.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17Oh, yeah, you're right. Finding Dory it is. So two each, third question.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Phil, over to you.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Which actress played Sarah Packard in the 1961 film The Hustler
0:10:23 > 0:10:28and the title character's mother in the 1976 film Carrie?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Is it...?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Right. 1961 is before I was working in a cinema,
0:10:37 > 0:10:41so it gets a bit more difficult for me.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43When the question came up, I thought the answer was Anne Bancroft,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47but now I've seen Ellen Burstyn, I'm wondering about that, too.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53OK. I think I'm going to go with what I originally thought,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- which was Anne Bancroft.- Eggheads?
0:10:55 > 0:10:56- Piper Laurie.- Piper Laurie.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01So, a chance for Pat to take the round.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Here it is.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Who directed the 1962 film Birdman Of Alcatraz, Pat,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09and the 1998 film Ronin?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Is it...?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I think I went to see Ronin in the cinema.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Lots of car chases, quite good. Who directed it?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I don't think it was John Schlesinger,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29so it's either Frankenheimer or Badham.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Ronin. Could it be John Badham?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Or John Frankenheimer?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Oh, it's a 50-50.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It's unusual this.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44With the options, normally it would click into place and you'd know,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46but I'm confused on this one.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'm going to go for John Badham.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52John Badham is the wrong answer.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56It's John Frankenheimer, Pat. Very marginal. Goes to Sudden Death.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57You're still in it, Phil.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Gets a bit harder, I don't give you different options.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Mark Rylance plays the title role in which 2016 film
0:12:04 > 0:12:06based on a book by Roald Dahl?
0:12:06 > 0:12:11OK. I'm trying to think of some Roald Dahl adaptations and nothing
0:12:11 > 0:12:13springs immediately to mind.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I'm... Honestly, I'm not sure.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Tim Burton tends to direct Roald Dahl-type films, so he's got
0:12:22 > 0:12:26a film called Miss Peregrine's House Of Peculiar Children,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I'm going to go for that, please.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Miss Peregrine. Do you know this, Pat?
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- I think it might be The BFG. - Yeah, it's The BFG.- Of course it is.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35The BFG, 2016 film.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37OK, Pat, your question.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Which Oscar-winning actress played the lead role of Dolores
0:12:41 > 0:12:43in the films Sister Act and Sister Act 2?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47If you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Well, the first actress that springs to mind when you say Sister Act
0:12:50 > 0:12:56is Whoopi Goldberg and I think she has an Oscar to her credit.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'm not sure who played the other nuns.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03No, I think I'll have to go for Whoopi Goldberg.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06If you've got it right, you're in the final round.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10The answer is Whoopi Goldberg. Well done, Pat. Knocked out Phil.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Sorry, Phil.- No.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I know you know The BFG as well.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Come back to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21OK, so Where's The Cue Ball Going now?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- That is a good question. - In the pocket.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Well, it's heading towards the pocket, but it's definitely
0:13:26 > 0:13:29not there yet. You've lost two brains from the final round.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32The Eggheads are still sitting there with all of their balls in place,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35I was going to say. We're on snooker, right?!
0:13:35 > 0:13:37The next subject is Science.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Who would like this?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40I think you should do it, Martin.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Narin's good at science, ain't she?- Not really.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Jane, do you want to do it? - I don't want to do Science, no.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- OK, I'll do Science.- OK, Martin. Definitely been volunteered there.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Against which Egghead? It can be Beth or Steve or Dave.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I'll try Steve, if that's OK.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Martin from Where's The Cue Ball Going? versus Steve from the Eggheads on Science.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Please go to the Question Room now.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04OK. Well, good luck against one of our newest eggheads, Martin.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Jeremy.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13So it's Science, Martin,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and you're up against Steve and here is your question.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19In which part of the body do cataracts form?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Quite happy with this question.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I think the answer is eyes, please, Jeremy.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Eyes is right, Martin. Well done. Of course.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Steve, which hypothesis
0:14:30 > 0:14:35was proposed by the English writer Samuel Rowbotham
0:14:35 > 0:14:38in a series of writings in the 1800s?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I can't say the name rings a bell,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50but invisible earth, well, that's...
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Yeah, we'll just discount that, shall we?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Flat earth I think went out a bit before that, so...
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Just based on the years you gave me, I'll say hollow earth.- Hollow earth?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- OK. Barry?- I'd be inclined to go with that as well,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07there is a hollow earth hypothesis.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I'm going to shock you guys here.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14- It's flat earth.- Right.- Oh! - OK, Martin, your question.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Which substance, the main structural material of plants,
0:15:17 > 0:15:22is indigestible to humans but still vital to them because it acts
0:15:22 > 0:15:27as a bulky medium to carry digestible food through the system?
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Is it...?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Well, I don't think it's glucose because I think that is digestible,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37so it's either dextrose or cellulose,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40so I'll go for cellulose, please, Jeremy.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Cellulose is the right answer. Well done. That's good.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45So you've got two, Steve hasn't got one yet.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Steve, here's your question, got to get this right to stay in.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50In which organ of the human body would you find
0:15:50 > 0:15:52a structure called the olfactory bulb?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Well, olfactory, you associate it with your sense of smell,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03so hopefully that should direct you to the brain.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Brain is right.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07So, two-one. If you get this one, Martin,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- you're in the final. - I'll do my best.- Go for it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Which father and son team who shared the same name received
0:16:14 > 0:16:17a Nobel prize for physics in 1915?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Well, it's a one in three guess, Jeremy,
0:16:23 > 0:16:24because I've got no idea whatsoever,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27but I'm feeling lucky, a magician's hunch,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29and I'm going to go for...
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Joseph Thomson.- Joseph Thomson.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36OK, let me throw this to Eggheads. Do you know, Eggs?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- It's William Bragg.- What for?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40X-ray diffraction and crystals.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Barry reliably informs me it was for X-ray diffraction and crystals,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Martin, and it was William Bragg and his son.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- I'm sorry the magician's hunch didn't work there.- Well, yeah.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Went a bit wayward that time. - All right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57You have a chance to stay in here, Steve. Get this wrong, you're out.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01What is the name of the futurologist and writer who died
0:17:01 > 0:17:05in 2016, who predicted the rise of the internet and cloning
0:17:05 > 0:17:09in his books Future Shock and The Third Wave?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Right. James Gleick I've never heard of, to be honest.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Stanislaw Lem, I know he wrote sci-fi, I think he wrote Solaris.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26He may well have wrote science stuff as well,
0:17:26 > 0:17:33but the name that appeals to me of the three is Alvin Toffler.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Alvin Toffler is right. So you're level after three questions.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Sorry, Martin,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- didn't quite shake him off there, did you?- Not quite.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42We go to Sudden Death.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44What name is given to the speed of
0:17:44 > 0:17:50299,792,458 metres per second in a vacuum?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I can't say I'm confident on this one at all.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'll go for a microsecond.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- We're looking for a measurement of speed.- Oh, sorry!
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Team, do you know?
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- Light?- Speed of light?- Yeah. - Speed of light.- Obvious.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10So you have a chance on Sudden Death now, Steve.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Which name, inspired by that of a mythical Asian creature,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18is given to the crabs of the genus Kiwa
0:18:18 > 0:18:22that appear to have hairy pincers?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Well, when you said mythical Asian creature,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27my first thought was dragon,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29but when you mentioned the hairy pincers,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31it's sort of thrown me away.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35So I'm going to do what I never do and go away from my first answer
0:18:35 > 0:18:36and try...
0:18:36 > 0:18:38a yeti crab.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- The yeti crab.- Well, I know. - Yeti crab is the right answer.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Steve, well done.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Sorry, Martin, beaten by our Egghead.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Fair play to him, well done.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Knocked out, so Steve will be in the final.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Please return to us, we'll play the last head-to-head.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57As it stands, Where's The Cue Ball Going? have lost three brains
0:18:57 > 0:19:01from the final round. The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04The next subject is History. Last round before the final.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Let's pull it round now. Who's going in?
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- It looks like me.- Narin? OK.- Off you go.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Which Egghead would you like to take on?- Beth, please.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16So, Narin from Where's The Cue Ball Going?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18versus our own Beth from the Eggheads.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Please go to the question room now.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30OK, so Narin, on History against Beth, here we go.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35In World War I, the passenger liner Lusitania was sunk
0:19:35 > 0:19:3911 miles off the southern coast of which country?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45The first thing that came into my mind before the three came up
0:19:45 > 0:19:49was France. And for that reason only, I'm going to go with France.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Eggs?- I think it's Ireland.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Ireland is the answer. Over to you, Beth.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55The warship the Mary Rose was salvaged
0:19:55 > 0:19:59from which body of water in 1982?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05As the story goes in our family,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09my mum made us sit in front of Blue Peter to watch this.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11So, sat there, watching the Mary Rose
0:20:11 > 0:20:13being brought out of the Solent.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16The Solent is right, well done, yeah, I remember too.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19OK, back to you, Narin.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21The East India Company was incorporated by Royal Charter
0:20:21 > 0:20:23in the first year of which century?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Never heard of the East India Company.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33I'm going to go straight down the middle, 17th, please.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37You're quite right. Yes!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41OK, Beth.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44St James's Palace in London was commissioned by which king?
0:20:48 > 0:20:54St James's Palace. Well, it's certainly not Richard III.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I don't think he had time to build many palaces.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02I'm trying to picture it, to put it in an architectural style.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I'm going to go with Charles I.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Charles I is your answer.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- It's actually Henry VIII. - Oh, yeah... 50-50.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13OK, Narin.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Get this one right and you take the advantage.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Which Native American leader surrendered
0:21:19 > 0:21:23in Skeleton Canyon in Arizona in 1886?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30OK, again, I don't know.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33And purely for the fact that Geronimo is the only name
0:21:33 > 0:21:36that rings any bells for me, I'm going to go with Geronimo.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You're playing very well cos you're right.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Yes! - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Geronimo it is. If only you'd got your first one right.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47OK, but brilliant, two out of three, well done.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50OK, Beth, over to you. Your third question.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54The American military operation Piranha took place
0:21:54 > 0:21:56during which 20th-century war?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05It's not one... No, it's not one I've heard of.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Vietnam War.- Vietnam War is correct.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Oh! Phew!
0:22:11 > 0:22:15This is an interesting round. OK, History we're on, Narin.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18And we go to Sudden Death now, so I don't give you different options.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23What did Ernesto Che Guevara study at university
0:22:23 > 0:22:27before he became involved in revolutionary politics?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31I recently went on a holiday to France with a friend of mine
0:22:31 > 0:22:35who's traced her history line and is related to Che Guevara.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39I should have listened to more of what she was saying about him.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I'm going to go for politics.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48I can see how you've got to that, but it was a bit more practical.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Medicine. Medicine.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53OK, Beth, for the round.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56The so-called Northern Rebellion of 1569,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59led by the Earls of Northumberland and Westmorland,
0:22:59 > 0:23:04was a plot to put which historical figure on the English throne?
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Well, I think I'm pretty sure it was Mary Queen of Scots.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It was indeed Mary Queen of Scots, you're right.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15So, Beth, you've taken the round, well done. Sorry, Narin.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Come back to us, both of you,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18and we'll see what happens in the final round.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23It is time for the final round. As always, General Knowledge.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:26 > 0:23:28won't be allowed to take part.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32So, Martin, Phil, Narin and Tony from Where's The Cue Ball Going?,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Right, Jane, you're playing to win Where's The Cue Ball Going? £6,000.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Dave, Pat, Beth, Steve, Barry, you're playing for something
0:23:44 > 0:23:47that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56You are allowed to confer. Sorry, that's not much help to you.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Jane, the question is, can you, with your one brain,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- defeat these five? Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09OK, our flute teacher from Enfield. Good luck, Jane.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Your first question.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Which female English singer, who rose to fame in the 1960s,
0:24:14 > 0:24:18published the 1990s autobiography The World At My Feet?
0:24:24 > 0:24:28I don't know, but Sandie Shaw used to sing with no shoes on,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30so I'm going to say Sandie Shaw.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Yeah, brilliant quizzing.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34You're quite right. Sandie Shaw it was.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- What's her famous hit, Sandie Shaw? - Puppet On A String.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And Always Something There To Remind Me, yeah.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Your first question, Eggheads.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46The town of Rottweil is in which European country?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Germany.- Germany.- Do we think it's Germany?- Yeah, yeah.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Is everyone happy with that? - Yeah.- Yeah.- Germany?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57We're going to go for Germany, please, Jeremy.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Germany.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02That's right. The Rottweiler comes from there.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04OK, over to you, Jane.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09In 2014, Sal Brinton was elected president of which political party?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I don't think it was SNP or Labour,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18so I'm going to say Liberal Democrats.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22That's a good reason for saying Liberal Democrats, actually.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24It's the right answer.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Nicely done.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Eggheads, the venue called Jollees in Stoke
0:25:29 > 0:25:36hosted which sports World Championship between 1979 and 1985?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Darts, I think. - It's got to be darts.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Darts, Jollees in Stoke, wasn't it?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Yeah, before it moved to The Lakeside in the BDO version.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Barry, just confirming? - Yes, happy with that.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Yeah.- So, darts is the answer.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Darts is right.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Back to you, Jane.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Which comedian explored the musical heritage
0:25:59 > 0:26:01of the southern states of America
0:26:01 > 0:26:04in the BBC TV series Songs Of The South?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I'm going to say Billy Connolly.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I know he did a series, I'm not sure if it was that one,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18but I'm going to say Billy Connolly.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Yeah, OK, Billy Connolly. The answer is Reginald D Hunter.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25So, Eggheads, you have a chance to take the contest with this question.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28George Pataki served as governor
0:26:28 > 0:26:32of which US state between 1995 and 2006?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40It can't be California, because Schwarzenegger must have been in.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Yeah, so what else have you...?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Mind you, governor and mayor, we're talking different things, aren't we?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Now, it could be...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Mario Cuomo Sr was governor of New York for a long time,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54then he died and there was somebody else, then I think Mario Cuomo Jr.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I have heard the name before, this is what's doing me,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58so would you think, cos you've heard the name,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00it's going to be the high-profile...?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Could you just repeat those dates, please?
0:27:03 > 0:27:051995 to 2006, governor of which US state?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Quite recent, then.- When did George Cuomo come in as...the junior Cuomo?
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- Would it be about 2006?- I think it's relatively recent, yeah.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- That's ten years ago.- So we might have a gap between the two Cuomos?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Well, it's one in two, really.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Because I can't think of anyone who's Governor of Illinois.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Barry, what are you thinking? - I don't know it. I really don't.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Have you got an instinct for anything?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I'm wondering if it was Illinois, but I've nothing to base it on.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- What about you, Steve?- For what it's worth, I'd say New York.- Beth?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Either. I'm no help.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42So, New York is, on balance, what we would go for.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Yes, it seems to be the majority. - Barry?- I think that's fair.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49On balance, we don't know,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51but on balance and team decision,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53we're going for New York.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Yeah, you got some shreds of facts
0:27:58 > 0:28:00and they helped you and the answer is New York.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13So, commiserations. Sorry, Jane, well played in the final.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I know you weren't supposed to end up on your own. But a fun team.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Thanks so much, Where's The Cue Ball Going?
0:28:19 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24and this rather impressive winning streak continues.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It does mean you won't be going home with the £6,000,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Eggheads, congratulations. Look at you all, sitting there, five of you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:36 > 0:28:38have the brains to finally take them down.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40£7,000 says they don't.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Till then, goodbye.
