0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Looking very knowledgeable today.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Thank you.- Very kind of you. - Honestly, you really are.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today are The Skelfers.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Now, the majority of this team hail from the village of Ulleskelf in
0:00:44 > 0:00:46North Yorkshire. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Fliss and I work for the NHS.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Jeff and I'm a service advisor.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, my name's Steve and I work as a tour manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Alistair and I'm a relationship manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Tom and I'm a relationship manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So, Fliss and team, welcome.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- ALL:- Hello!- Tell us, Fliss, how you all know each other.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Right, well Jeff, Steve and I, we drink in the same pub.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Very important.- And we know Alistair from London,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14and Tom works with Alistair.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- OK.- So basically north-south unison.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I haven't mentioned quizzing, I know you haven't...
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- You're not a quiz team. Is that right?- That's right.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25But you've certainly got a quizziness about you, I think.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28We just like to take you on on the telly.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30So we thought we'd come and do it in person today!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Do you know what? You can do it. I'm sure you can take them down.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35It's time. It needs to happen. So, good luck.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47So, Skelfers, the Eggheads have got a real swagger about them now.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50They've won the last seven games in a row.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54So there's £8,000 to win today and basically we need you to stop them.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- OK? Would you like to try? - Yes, we would!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02So which of you would like this?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- What do you think?- That's not me.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Want to do that?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Do you want me to do it?- I will take it if you want me to, yes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Go on. Steve. Steve plays.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Steve, our tour manager, against which Egghead?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Any one of the five.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I'd like to pick Pat, please.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Very good. Steve from The Skelfers against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23To ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:02:23 > 0:02:25in our special Question Room.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30OK, so, Steve, would you like to go first or second on Arts & Books?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Here we go, Steve, good luck.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40In which year was the artist Lucien Freud born?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Um, let me see now, Lucien Freud.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I'd like to go for 1942, please.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55OK. It's 1922, Steve.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58OK, Pat, your question.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Which of these is a famous line from Romeo and Juliet?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I think "Friends, Romans, countrymen" is the start
0:03:11 > 0:03:16of Mark Antony's speech to the crowd in Julius Caesar.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20"Neither a borrower nor a lender be" I think is Polonius in Hamlet.
0:03:20 > 0:03:26And the Romeo and Juliet line is, "Parting is such sweet sorrow."
0:03:26 > 0:03:29"Parting is such sweet sorrow" is the right answer.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Steve, back to you.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Which of these literary characters has appeared in
0:03:33 > 0:03:36the most novels by their original authors?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Um, right.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Deary me.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'm struggling. I don't know this.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50So I will go straight down the middle and plump for Tarzan, please.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53You're absolutely right, Steve, well done!
0:03:53 > 0:03:54- Yeah!- Got it right.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Pat, your question.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Any Human Heart is a novel by which author?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06They are all contemporaries,
0:04:06 > 0:04:11but I think I can remember this being made into an acclaimed film,
0:04:11 > 0:04:16or I think perhaps a TV drama, and it's William Boyd.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18The correct answer is William Boyd, well done.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21So he takes the lead, there. Steve, you need to get this,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23your third question, right to stay in.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Bedroom Farce is a 1975 play by which writer?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Let me see now. Bedroom Farce, you say.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Bedroom Farce.- Yes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I think I'd like to go for Alan Ayckbourn.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Alan Ayckbourn is the correct answer, well done.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Two out of three. Let's just see now.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51If Pat gets this right, he will have knocked you out.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53His third question. Pat,
0:04:53 > 0:04:57what is the name of the collective that won the 2015 Turner Prize for
0:04:57 > 0:05:01their Granby Four Streets project?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09If I remember correctly, I think these people
0:05:09 > 0:05:15took over a block of housing in Liverpool and transformed it.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I think they were called Assemble.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Oh, you're good. Assemble's right.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Sorry, Steve, it's very hard to see daylight with Pat.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24He very rarely gets them wrong.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27He plays a quiet game, but a brilliant one.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29So Pat is in the final round. Steve, you've been knocked out,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32but it's early days. Come back, rejoin your teams. We'll play on.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36As it stands, the Skelfers have lost a brain from the final round,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39the Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42We need to bring this locomotive to a juddering halt over here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46The next subject is Geography, so which of you would like this?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh. We said Fliss maybe, or...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Not me, no.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Do you want me to take it?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I'll take it.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56- You sure?- Yeah.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Who are you going to choose, Ali? - Anyone but Pat you can have.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Beth, please.- All right.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Alistair from The Skelfers versus Beth from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Please go to our Question Room now.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Well, it's Geography, and Alistair,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14we ask you whether you'd like to go first or second.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Here we go with your first question, Alistair.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Which geographical term is given to
0:06:23 > 0:06:26an area of relatively level high ground?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31It's not archipelago.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Isthmus, if I'm honest, I don't know.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41But my gut reaction on this one is plateau, so yeah, plateau.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Plateau is the right answer.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47OK, Beth.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Stornoway is the largest settlement in which island group?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's the Outer Hebrides, Jeremy.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Outer Hebrides is the right answer, well done.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Back to you, Alistair.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Which is the most southerly National Park in the UK?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Yeah. Straight away on this one...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13..Dartmoor.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17South Downs, further north, Peak District, yeah,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19they're all much further north.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Setting myself up for a fall, but Dartmoor!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Dartmoor is right, well done. - Thank you.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27So two out of two and we go back to our Egghead.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29In terms of US geography,
0:07:29 > 0:07:34what name is given to a narrow strip of land projecting from the main
0:07:34 > 0:07:37territory of one state into another?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I think Florida's well known for having one of these,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47and it's the panhandle.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Yeah, because it looks exactly like one. Panhandle is right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52OK, Alistair, third question...
0:07:52 > 0:07:55can be crucial. Here we go.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Which of these countries is the largest by area?
0:08:01 > 0:08:07So, Mongolia's near China, we tend not to know the size of them.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10By being very familiar with them.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13So that's a possibility.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Spain, large.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20I'm going to go with my gut instinct on this one, which is Mongolia.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Mongolia, Mongolia. Any Eggs help us here?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- I think he's right.- Mongolia. - They like it! It's right! Well done!
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Mongolia's the right answer.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Quizzing well, Challengers.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34OK, Beth, your third question.
0:08:34 > 0:08:40The Perfume River, named for its aroma, flows through which country?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Perfume River? It's not somewhere I've heard of.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I wonder if it is named that ironically...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55..because it doesn't actually smell that nice?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Hmmm. Going to be a bit like Alistair with this one and
0:09:01 > 0:09:03take a punt, I think, on India.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Is it India?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Vietnam is the right answer, Beth, sorry.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12You've been knocked out. Alistair, well done!
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Alistair, OK.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16So you're turning it around here for the Challengers.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19You took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant, good news for your team.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Please return to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25All right. The Skelfers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27the Eggheads have lost a brain too.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29By the way, the Perfume River, Eggheads,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32is mentioned in the film Full Metal Jacket.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34The Kubrick film about the Vietnam War.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Only in passing, though.- It was filmed in Beckton Gasworks!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Yes, it was filmed in London, wasn't it?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Nearly all of it.- But even the place that's supposed to be Da Nang,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46that's actually Bassingbourn Barracks in Cambridgeshire!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48The next subject is Film & TV.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Who would like this?- Tommy!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Tom. It's our Tom.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Do you want to do it? - No, I'll get Tom.- Tom.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56OK. I'll go for it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Our relationship manager Tom against which Egghead?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Whose relationship shall we manage now?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Dave's giving me the eye but I'm going to go for Lisa.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Is Lisa not giving you the eye, then?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Not yet!
0:10:06 > 0:10:08LAUGHTER
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- There's time!- There's time.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15OK, Tom from The Skelfers, versus Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:10:15 > 0:10:16please go to the Question Room.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21So you go to a local quiz, I gather, Tom?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Well, Jeremy, back home they call me Quizzee Rascal.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Is that right?- Yeah. - Because you love to quiz?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Because I'm a quizzer.- Oh, well,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32you recognise a fellow personality type in Lisa, I'm sure.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Certainly.- On Film & TV, Tom,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Here we go, good luck.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Julia Somerville and Clive Myrie are best known for
0:10:46 > 0:10:49performing which role on UK TV?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55See, I listen to a lot of talkSPORT.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Um, I don't think they're sports commentators.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I don't think they're newsreaders
0:11:02 > 0:11:04so I'll go with talk-show hosts, please.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06I thought you were going to rule that out.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- It's newsreaders, actually.- Sorry.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10OK. Lisa.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14What is the name of the panda voiced by Jack Black
0:11:14 > 0:11:17in the Kung Fu Panda film franchise?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Oh, back to Dave's favourite subject of Tellytubby names, he's called Po.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26The name of the panda voiced by Jack Black
0:11:26 > 0:11:29in the Kung Fu Panda franchise is Po. Well done.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Back to you, Tom. What is the name of the hotel
0:11:33 > 0:11:36in which the Stanley Kubrick film The Shining is set?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's funny because I was talking about the Bellagio last night.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I've stayed in the Bellagio, so it's not that.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Em... I've seen the film.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'm going to go for the Overlook.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Yeah, quite right. The Overlook, it is.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Over to you, Lisa.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Helen George plays the role of Trixie Franklin in which
0:12:00 > 0:12:02TV drama series?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09She a Strictly alumnus alongside you, Jeremy?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11It's Call The Midwife.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I can tell you your answer is correct and, yes - yes, yes, yes.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16We're bezzie mates.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18OK, Tom, your question.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22In which TV drama series does Helen McCrory play the role of Aunt Polly?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28And you've got to get this one right, Tom.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Funnily enough, I've not watched Penny Dreadful,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34and I've not watched Line Of Duty.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I've seen Peaky Blinders.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I'm trying to think if Cillian Murphy's got an auntie in it.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I think I'm going to have to go for Peaky Blinders, but I'm not 100%.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46It is Peaky Blinders, so well done, Tom - you got it right.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Nice one, Tom.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Get this one right and you're in the final.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Lisa, which famous British film was known as Stairway To Heaven
0:12:55 > 0:12:57when it was released in the USA?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Hmm, there's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold,
0:13:06 > 0:13:07and there's a lady who is
0:13:07 > 0:13:10completely not sure of the answer sat here.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15OK, Stairway To Heaven - interesting.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Hang on - if you call it Brief Encounter in the US,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21would they think it had something to do with pants?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Would that be the issue?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Maybe, because they think pants are trousers and all sorts of
0:13:27 > 0:13:29inappropriate things.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I don't really see how that connects up with Lawrence Of Arabia at all,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34so I'm minded to rule it out.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37And of the other two,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I'm not sure why you would change A Matter Of Life And Death.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I know very little about the subject matter of A Matter Of Life And Death
0:13:42 > 0:13:44so it possibly is that.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47But just on the slightly tenuous logic that of one is going to
0:13:47 > 0:13:49say Brief Encounter,
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Americans might think it's possibly a saucier film than it was,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I will try Brief Encounter.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58To summarise, you think Brief Encounter was not released
0:13:58 > 0:14:01in the States because people would think it was about an encounter
0:14:01 > 0:14:02with a pair of pants?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I have no idea, Jeremy!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I told you it's tenuous logic.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Chris, you'll know this.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Yeah, well, it's A Matter Of Life And Death, Lisa.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14David Niven is a bomber pilot coming back from a mission,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18in this flaming Lancaster that's going down any minute now.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21He gets into conversation on the radio with this American WAAF,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24falls in love with her over the air. He eventually
0:14:24 > 0:14:27dies and is in limbo, if you like.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29The main nub of the film is
0:14:29 > 0:14:32he's sort of on trial for his life, in Heaven.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33It's a very good film.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36If you ever get a chance to watch it, do so.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40OK, so the long and short of it is that you are level.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42And we go to Sudden Death now, Tom.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It gets a bit harder. I don't give you different options.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47OK.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Whose name appears before Amazing Spaces in the title of
0:14:50 > 0:14:55a Channel 4 building and interior design programme?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Amazing Spaces. Let's see...
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Jones' Amazing Spaces?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- I have no idea.- Lisa, do you know?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I bet it's that bloke who does Grand Designs - Kevin something,
0:15:06 > 0:15:07but I can't remember his other name.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11George Clarke is the answer. George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12OK, Lisa, this for the round.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Syed Masood, played by Marc Elliott, was a character in which soap opera?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Syed Masood?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Where is Judith when you need her?
0:15:21 > 0:15:22It was EastEnders.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24EastEnders is the right answer.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27On Sudden Death, you've just sneaked it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Well done, Lisa. Tom, sorry, I know you're a good quizzer,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32but you've been beaten here by our Egghead
0:15:32 > 0:15:34so she is in the final.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Please return to your teams.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Oh, dear. The Skelfers have lost another brain.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42But they are not down and out yet, that's for sure.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43The Eggheads have lost one brain,
0:15:43 > 0:15:47and your next subject, Challengers, is Politics.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Who would like this?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Me, I'll go.- Fliss? Good.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55In the booth with either Dave or Chris.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Come on, Dave.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Fliss from The Skelfers versus "Come on, Dave" from the Eggheads.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01To ensure there is no conferring,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04please go to the legendary Question Room.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Good luck, Fliss against Dave. Last round before the final.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16And here we go with your first question.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Which UK party leader lost a vote of no confidence in 2016
0:16:20 > 0:16:24with 80% of his MPs calling for him to leave his post?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31It must be Jeremy Corbyn.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33It is Jeremy Corbyn. Well done.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35All right, Dave.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Theresa May is famous for wearing
0:16:37 > 0:16:40flamboyant items of which type of clothing?
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Shoes.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Shoes is right. OK, Fliss.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Which US Senator was Hillary Clinton's chief opponent in her bid
0:16:50 > 0:16:54to become the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in 2016?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I think it's Bernie Sanders.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03It is indeed Bernie Sanders. Well done.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Dave, your question.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10In 2013, Mamnoon Hussain became the president of which country?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Mamnoon Hussain.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I think it is Pakistan but I'm...
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Yeah, Pakistan.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Pakistan is correct.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24So, equal, sprinting along here.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- This would be handy for you, Fliss. - Make it easy, please, Jeremy.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I'm going to do my best for you.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36Who came third in the first ballot to decide the new Prime Minister
0:17:36 > 0:17:38in July 2016?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Michael Gove.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- No hanging about. - Well, Theresa May won.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Andrea Leadsom was going to be second.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'm sure it was Michael Gove that was the next one.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53- You're absolutely right.- Yeah!
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Stephen Crabb was further down the list. Well done.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57OK, Dave, to stay in...
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Which of these is a nickname of the US President Ronald Reagan?
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Not particularly happy about this.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10It's not the Peanut Farmer - that's Jimmy Carter.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Now, why would he be called the Great Engineer?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I've just got to think about this,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21because there was a film where it was Win One For The Gipper,
0:18:21 > 0:18:25which he was in, so the logic says go with The Gipper.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I'm just trying to rule out why he would be called the Great Engineer,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31and trying to think if there was another president who was nicknamed
0:18:31 > 0:18:33the Great Engineer.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37What I will say is The Gipper.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41The Gipper, of course, is Ronald Reagan. And he...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44In fact, I think in the '88 election, when he was campaigning
0:18:44 > 0:18:47for his successor, George Bush Sr, he went and did a big speech and
0:18:47 > 0:18:51said, "Win one for The Gipper," so he actually quoted it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53After three questions, you're level.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Well done, Fliss, you're playing well. Unfortunately, so is he.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59And you've got to win this round to even it up.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01So we go to Sudden Death. Gets a bit harder.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I'm not going to give you alternative options.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08What word is now commonly used in the media to describe a coach that
0:19:08 > 0:19:14transports UK politicians and their team during an election?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I'll be honest - I have no idea, but some kind of bus.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Election bus?- You're so close!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It's battle bus.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Oh!- Of course, of course.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Sorry.- No, don't apologise. I totally understand.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27OK, Dave, for the round.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30What is the name of the National Park that encompasses
0:19:30 > 0:19:32the White House and its grounds?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Not really thought about it, but I've heard the words,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40or couple of words... Not giving an answer yet but I'm thinking it's
0:19:40 > 0:19:42something like the Presidential Garden,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45but I'm not giving that as my answer.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46It's something like that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Presidential Garden.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Do you know this, Fliss?- No.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56President's Park.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Not heard that phrase at all.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Do you know what? I must admit, Dave, I haven't either.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03OK, Fliss,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05which federal area of Australia
0:20:05 > 0:20:08became a self-governing entity in 1978?
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Victoria?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13No, the Northern Territory.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Ah.- Dave, for the round.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Baroness Warsi, Grant Shapps, and from 2015 Robert Halfon,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23have all held which ministerial post?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Oh, right, ministerial?- Yes.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I didn't think he was in the Cabinet.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I think it was just party chairman.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's not a ministerial post, that.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40That is just the chairman of the party.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42It can't be a post there. I will go...
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I can see your... This is an absolute stinker of a question.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I see your logic. So, yeah,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55you're right that they held a position in the Conservative Party,
0:20:55 > 0:20:56probably vice-chairman or whatever,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58but you're right that that is not a ministerial post.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01The way they get them into the Cabinet then is they give them a job
0:21:01 > 0:21:03of Minister Without Portfolio.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Fair enough. - So that was the ministerial post.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Kind of a non-post.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10That is a horrible question.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16Fliss, in 1842, which British Prime Minister reintroduced income tax?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Chamberlain.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- It's Robert Peel.- Ah.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Dave, for the round.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30Which Tory MP was expelled from the House of Commons in 1954
0:21:30 > 0:21:32after being convicted of forgery?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33I don't know.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Forgery? No, I don't know.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I haven't got... I wouldn't begin to guess.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41No, no, not a clue.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- You're passing?- Yes. - Challengers, Eggheads?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47The answer I've got is Peter Baker.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Big story at the time!
0:21:49 > 0:21:54OK, you're still in it but we need a correct answer, Fliss,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57to put the pressure on. The Iran-Contra affair,
0:21:57 > 0:22:02in which America's National Security Council channelled funds to the
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Nicaraguan Contra rebels
0:22:04 > 0:22:10from profits gained by selling arms to Iran,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14took place in which decade of the 20th century?
0:22:15 > 0:22:171960s.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20No, no, it was under the Reagan administration - it was the '80s.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Oh, right - sorry.- That's OK.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Dave, for the round. What colour is used to denote periods in the
0:22:27 > 0:22:31EU parliamentary calendar when political groups get together
0:22:31 > 0:22:34to discuss their position on forthcoming debates?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Forthcoming debates...
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Blue.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44The correct answer is blue.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- Well done, Dave.- Well done, Dave.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Oh, Fliss, sorry - you played well.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53You played well, but this Sudden Death is hard, and tested you both.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Dave will be in the final. Fliss has been knocked out.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58If you come back to us, we will play that final round.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05It is time for our final round - as always, General Knowledge.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:23:08 > 0:23:12to take part in this round. Fliss, Steve and Tom from The Skelfers,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15and Beth from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Jeff and Alistair, you are playing to win The Skelfers £8,000.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Chris, Lisa, Dave and Pat,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:23:26 > 0:23:27the Eggheads' reputation,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30and to really continue this impressive roll.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37You may confer, gentlemen. So, Skelfers, the question is
0:23:37 > 0:23:41can your two brains defeat these four in a famous victory?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- First, are we?- Yeah, go first. - Yeah. First, yeah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51OK, Jeff, Alistair, here we go.
0:23:51 > 0:23:57Which type of dog takes its name from the German for monkey terrier?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Monkey terrier... I don't know.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08It doesn't feel like Doberman.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10No, I wouldn't have said Doberman.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Monkey... How's your German?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18It's not schnauz, is it, cos it's...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Monkey. Terrier.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I think... I think affen...
0:24:23 > 0:24:26That's where I was going at the start.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I was that's where I was going at the start,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30so let's take out Doberman.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Schnauzer, monkey, terrier...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Just in terms of the first part of the word, yes.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I quite fancy... I'm happy to go with that.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Yeah. I don't think it's the other two.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Yeah?- I'm happy. I'm happy, Jeff.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51OK, Jeremy, we're going to go for Affenpinscher.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Affenpinscher's right.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55The "affen" bit, I guess ape - that's the clue.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58So, well done, you got your first one right.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Over to you, Eggheads.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03A trencherman is someone who particularly likes what?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Eating.- Eating.- Eating, yeah.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11We are unanimous on this, Jeremy.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13It's eating.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Eating? That's right.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Are you a trencherman, Chris?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Up to a point. I'm a trencherman without being a glutton.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Yeah, absolutely.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23OK, over to you, Challengers.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Which member of the Rolling Stones celebrated his 69th birthday
0:25:27 > 0:25:32in the same week as he became father to twins in 2016?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Well, we know...
0:25:39 > 0:25:41We know which one we think...
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Certainly not Keith Richards.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Mick's... Mick's known to have fathered a few,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48but we are going to say Ronnie Wood.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Mick certainly had some family news around this time,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53but you're right to rule him out.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Ronnie Wood...is the answer.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58OK, your question, Eggs.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00In 2016, the son of which boxer
0:26:00 > 0:26:02became British Middleweight Champion?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Eubank.- Eubank.- Chris Eubank.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Chris Eubank Jr, definitely.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12That's Chris Eubank, Jeremy.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Chris Eubank is quite right.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17OK, third question.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Get this right, if they get theirs wrong, you're away with the money.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25In Greek mythology, what type of creature was Prometheus?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- What's coming through? - Prometheus...
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I don't think it's Cyclops.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I'm just trying to...relate to what I've heard.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Centaur is the one that's coming through.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46But... Cyclops, one eye.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- Do you want to go with centaur? - I'm...
0:26:50 > 0:26:53That's my gut feel, yes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54I'm going to have to go on that.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- What do you think? - I don't really know, but, yeah,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02that's something that I feel we should go for.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Erm...
0:27:03 > 0:27:05We're going to go for centaur.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Centaur is your answer? OK. I feel your uncertainty.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I wanted to help, but I'm not allowed to.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14It's a big quizzing thing this, so, quizzers...?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- He's a Titan.- Titan is the answer.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20All right. You're not out of it yet.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21They've still got to get this one right.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25There are four of them. Sometimes, where there are four, things happen.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Things go wrong. Here's your question, Eggs.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Who wrote Cliff Richard's famous hit single Living Doll?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Lionel Bart? I'm fairly certain.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Let's just go through it. It's not Bacharach.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Not Anthony Newley.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43I'm fairly certain it's Lionel Bart.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Pat, have you heard of this? - Rings a bell.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Yeah. I'm fairly certain it is. - Timing is certainly right, yeah.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50We think, 98% sure,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53it's Lionel Bart, Jeremy.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Eggheads, the answer is Lionel Bart. We say congratulations.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57You have won.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Well played. Well played.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Commiserations, Skelfers, you have caught them
0:28:05 > 0:28:07in a particularly strong phase at the moment, actually.
