0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here they are - the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Feeling turbo-charged?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35We've got our mojo back.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38You have indeed got your mojo back, Barry.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:40 > 0:00:41are The Reel Deal.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Now, this team all work for the Bristol-based film rental shop
0:00:45 > 0:00:4720th Century Flicks.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Established in the '80s,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52it is now the only shop of its kind left in the city.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Dave, I'm a video shop co-director.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Tara and I'm also a video shop co-director.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Pete and I'm a researcher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Becca and I'm a library assistant.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Ti, and I'm a global digital marketer.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So, Dave and team, welcome.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Good to see you.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Tell us about the shop, Dave.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Yeah, it's the oldest video shop in the world now.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Really?- It was opened in 1982, it's the longest-running one.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22We've managed to keep it going
0:01:22 > 0:01:26through various feats of ingenuity and stupidity.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And this is sort of the latest in a long business plan that we have
0:01:30 > 0:01:32of securing the shop's future.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35OK. And when you say the oldest video shop in the world,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I'm guessing you, therefore, rent out VHS, do you?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40We still do, we've got about 3,000 videotapes
0:01:40 > 0:01:45that we can't find on DVD or, indeed, online, so we keep them.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48They go out a couple of times a week.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Mostly it's DVD and Blu-ray.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Isn't that fascinating, Eggs?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I read all about you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55There was an article in a colour supplement or something.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Yeah, sort of like "famous but poor" is our motto.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00THEY LAUGH
0:02:00 > 0:02:03We had a nice programme on BBC Radio 4.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Maybe that's what I heard. - It is one of these weird things,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09there's a lot of attention because we are sort of a curiosity in a way,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11but it's just trying to balance that
0:02:11 > 0:02:14with actually making enough money to pay rent.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Of course, of course. Also going and discussing films with you guys
0:02:17 > 0:02:19before renting them, that's the key thing.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22You don't get that with all these streaming services.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24No, often discussing films with us
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- and then not renting them. - A good point, yeah.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, good luck. What an interesting story.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:30 > 0:02:32up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36the prize-money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40So, The Reel Deal, you've caught the Eggheads at a rather good moment,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42there's an upside and a downside to that.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45The upside is that they've won the last 11 games
0:02:45 > 0:02:47so there's £12,000 to win.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50The downside, obviously, is they are in rather good form.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52So, it's going to be hard.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Do you want to get cracking?- Yeah.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Which one of you would like this?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I think that's going to be me.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01THEY LAUGH
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Ti, at the end.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05And choose an Egghead, any one of the five.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I feel I might take on Steve.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10And I could live to regret this.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Well, Steve is our newest Egghead.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14And maybe still finding his feet,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16maybe you can dislodge him from the end there.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Here's hoping.- Ti from The Reel Deal versus Steve from the Eggheads.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21And just to ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24would you please take your positions now in the Question Room?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'm just thinking, Steve,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29you haven't played History before as an Egghead.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30You're probably right at that, Jeremy.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32So, Ti, maybe this is a good strategy.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34You're trying him on an untested area.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Oh, hopefully, this is going to pay off, but we'll find out.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I think he probably likes his history, but let's find out.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Your choice, Ti, first or second?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44I'll go first.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Here is your first question, good luck.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54The historic warlord Tamburlaine was the ruler of which Empire?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Ah, right, I don't think it's Roman.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03My Roman history is quite good enough
0:04:03 > 0:04:05that I would have heard of that.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Mongol, I know Genghis Khan's birth name was Temujin,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13which sounds quite similar.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'm just going to have to guess with this one
0:04:16 > 0:04:17and hope the Genghis Khan
0:04:17 > 0:04:20comparison pays off and go with Mongol.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Kevin, what was Genghis Khan's birth name?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Temujin.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Temujin.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27So that was beautiful.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And it took you in the right direction, Mongol is right.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32- Great.- Yeah, that was like
0:04:32 > 0:04:34the equivalent of first point in table tennis,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36just smashing it
0:04:36 > 0:04:38straight out the window.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39And winning the point.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Fantastic. OK.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Steve, which man, born in 1133,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48is often said to be the first Plantagenet King of England?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Henry II.- You've thought long and hard about that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Well, I mean, Henry V, he was the 15th century.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01And Henry VIII was 16th century, so...
0:05:01 > 0:05:03You know, it can't possibly be either of them two.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Yes, good point. That's the correct answer.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09OK, back to you, Ti.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Which of these infamous criminals was referred to as a bushranger?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18So Dick Turpin was a highwayman.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Billy the Kid was the Old West,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25so he was a cattle rustler and a general outlaw,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28and Ned Kelly was an Australian outlaw.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31So from that reasoning, if you're going into the bush...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34..that's an Australian expression.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I'm going to have to go with Ned Kelly.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Ned Kelly is the correct answer, good quizzing.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Over to you, Steve.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43In British history, the Restoration
0:05:43 > 0:05:46returned which royal house to the throne?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Well, it was following on from
0:05:51 > 0:05:55the Commonwealth, of Oliver Cromwell and his son.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57And it interrupted the Stuart dynasty.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01The correct answer is Stuart, well done.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Back to you, Ti. Your third question.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Which Scottish king reigned for over 40 years
0:06:06 > 0:06:09before abdicating the throne in 943 AD
0:06:09 > 0:06:11and retiring to a monastery?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Constantine.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24When I hear Constantine, I'm thinking more papal.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Macbeth, I know he was an actual Scottish king.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And thinking about it, I now have no idea
0:06:29 > 0:06:31how accurate the play is to actual history.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35This is going to be a complete guess
0:06:35 > 0:06:37and I'm going to have to go with Alexander.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Constantine II is the answer, Ti.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42So, it gives Steve a chance to win his first History round.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Make a bit of Eggheads history there.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48In Anglo-Saxon Britain, what was a scramasax?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Can you spell that, please, Jeremy?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56It's almost as you'd expect.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59S-C-R-A-M-A-S-A-X.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00A scramasax.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04I know a soothsayer in Rome was an haruspex, and that sounds similar.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07But it's a completely different language, so scramasax...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I'll try soothsayer, I don't know.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14OK. No, it's a knife.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15It's a knife.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16So, equal after three questions.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17That's a let-off for you, Ti.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20It gets you into Sudden Death...
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- All right.- ..which gets a bit more tricky
0:07:22 > 0:07:24cos I don't give you different options.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- OK.- Which Roman emperor renamed both Rome
0:07:27 > 0:07:31and the months of the year after himself,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35before being strangled by a wrestler named Narcissus?
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Oh, I know this, my Roman history is normally pretty good.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I think it was Commodus.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46That's a superb answer, you are quite right.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49That's a stunning answer, that's like your first answer.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52OK, you're up against a good player here, Steve.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- Yeah. Definitely.- Your question.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Richard III was the brother of which other king of England?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Edward IV.- Edward IV is right.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Sudden Death.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Back to you, Ti.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Which French king ordered the construction
0:08:05 > 0:08:09of the famous 16th-century Chateau de Chambord?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I don't know. I don't know.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16This is going to have to be another guess.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I'm going to go with Louis XV.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20No, Francis I.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Francois I.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Steve, for the round.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26At the beginning of the 18th century,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29the Great Northern War was contested
0:08:29 > 0:08:32between a Russian-led coalition
0:08:32 > 0:08:33and which country's Empire?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Hurray. I've lost about three pounds sat in here, Jeremy,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I'm just so pleased. It's Sweden.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Sweden is the right answer.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Sorry, Ti, you played really well there.- Oh, well.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Steve is in the final, Ti, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Please return, rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Well, what a round.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Ti, well done. And the Commodus moment was extraordinary.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Brilliant quizzing. Brilliant quizzing.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Bad luck, what can I say?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Steve in the final. The Reel Deal have lost a brain.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05The Eggheads have got all five.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Let's try again, shall we, to knock one out?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09With Arts & Books.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Who would like this?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12I will do Arts & Books, please.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17OK, Becca, our library assistant, against which Egghead?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Chris, please can I challenge you?
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Yeah. Spends a lot of time reading, but mainly train timetables.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27They are hardly deathless literature, Jeremy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31So, Becca from the Reel Deal versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33This is a good contest today, isn't it?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41So, Becca, are you involved with this great video shop?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Yes, I work there part-time in the evenings and at weekends.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Great. And the main part of your job, Becca,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48is in an actual library, is it?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Yeah, I work part-time in Bristol University library.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52A little bit more.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Surrounded by books. That should be handy in this round.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It can, of course, range far and wide.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Would you like to go first or second, Becca?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Yeah, I'd like to go first, please.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08OK, good luck to you, here we go.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Which famous works of art
0:10:10 > 0:10:13are sometimes referred to as the Parthenon sculptures?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I haven't heard of the Parthenon sculptures before.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26And the only one of these three answers
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I've heard of is the Elgin Marbles,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30who I hope are also from Greece,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and I'm going to go with the Elgin Marbles.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35OK, I can tell you're treading very carefully,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37but there's no need to, you are absolutely right.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Well done. Elgin Marbles.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Good. Chris, on to you.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Which of these is the title of a book by the writer Tolstoy?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well, Cold Comfort Farm, Stella Gibbons,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Catch-22, Joseph Heller.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Anna Karenina is a silly woman
0:10:52 > 0:10:55who throws herself under a train in a book by Tolstoy,
0:10:55 > 0:10:56so it is Anna Karenina.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Judith, do you object to that?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Yes.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01THEY LAUGH
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Can you briefly say why?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Well, because she wasn't a silly woman
0:11:04 > 0:11:05who threw herself under a train,
0:11:05 > 0:11:06there was rather more to her.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08OK, you've got the answer right.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Anna Karenina.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Back to you, Becca.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Stanley Kowalski is a character in which famous play?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I recognised his name when you said it and I'm really glad...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I think, I hope, to stand up to the reputation of the video shop,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32it is A Streetcar Named Desire.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Oh, the whole reputation of the video shop...
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Yes, because that is a film as well.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43A Streetcar Named Desire is correct.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Yeah.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Chris, your question.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50What is the name of the two giant horses' head sculptures
0:11:50 > 0:11:54created by Andy Scott near Falkirk in 2013?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00They're called the Kelpies,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03after the malevolent shape-shifting spirits of Celtic mythology.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04They're Kelpies.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Kelpies is right.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Back to you, Becca.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Which book by JoJo Moyes tells the story of a quadriplegic man
0:12:12 > 0:12:14named Will and his carer Louisa?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23I don't know these titles, and I don't know the author.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28I think I'm going to take a guess on Me Before You.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Me Before You is quite right, Becca, well done.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33So, Chris, what about this? Third question.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Get this wrong and Becca will be in the final.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Which of these is an influential book of poetry
0:12:39 > 0:12:41by the writer Walt Whitman?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49The only one of those that's by Walt Whitman is Leaves Of Grass.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Leaves Of Grass is correct, Chris, so 3-3.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54These Eggheads are playing well at the moment,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56it's been a problem for a number of teams.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00It goes to Sudden Death, Becca, and I don't give you different options.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Here we go. In 1888,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Vincent van Gogh famously lived for a short period
0:13:06 > 0:13:11in the Yellow House in Arles with which fellow painter?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Would it be too early for Pablo Picasso?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Is that your answer? - That's my answer.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18It's the wrong answer,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22it's Paul Gauguin. That would be too early for Picasso, would it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- 1888.- Seven. - He would have been seven?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Well, he could have lived with him.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- It's possible, yes.- As a boy.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Childcare.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- It's possible. - So, not too early for Picasso.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34But it's Paul Gauguin.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Chris, Sudden Death. Get this right, you're in the final round.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Here's your question.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41What is the title of the well-known David Hockney painting
0:13:41 > 0:13:44in Tate Britain of a California swimming pool
0:13:44 > 0:13:47notable for its two palm trees,
0:13:47 > 0:13:52turquoise water, yellow diving board and white foam?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54That's got to be A Bigger Splash.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56A Bigger Splash is the correct answer, Chris,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58you've got it on Sudden Death.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Sorry, Becca.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Again, another tight round.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Again, our Egghead has won.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Please return, rejoin your team-mates,
0:14:05 > 0:14:06and we'll play the next round.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Well, it's a great game. The Reel Deal have lost two brains,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12but they're fighting very hard.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14The Eggheads are still all there,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18at the moment, in the final round, but let's see if that changes now.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20The next subject is Sport.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21THEY SIGH
0:14:21 > 0:14:24We were really hoping this wouldn't come up.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26That doesn't sound like a good noise.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28OK, I'll go for Sport, Jeremy.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31OK, Tara, bravely stepping into the breach.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And you can have, let's see, Judith, Kevin or Barry.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I'm going to pick Judith.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37I thought you would.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40She will feel the same as you, I can promise.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42OK, so, Tara from The Reel Deal
0:14:42 > 0:14:44versus our own Judith from the Eggheads.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46And you haven't done Sport for a while.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47I haven't done it for ages.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You were starting to miss it, weren't you?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Never, I'm afraid.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53OK, please go to the Question Room now.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Good luck in the Sport round.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Tara, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I'd like to go second, please, Jeremy.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05OK, mixing it up.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Here is Miss Keppel on her beloved Sport.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Chris Coleman was the manager
0:15:09 > 0:15:12of which international football team at Euro 2016?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Phew. There's one I know. It was Wales.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Well done, I was worried for you for a second there.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Wales is right.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Tara.
0:15:28 > 0:15:34Who did Andy Murray beat in the 2016 Wimbledon Men's Singles Final?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I do not know the answer to this question,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I'm going to have to guess.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48I'm just going to go straight down the middle with Thomas Berdych.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Thomas Berdych, it wasn't.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Team-mates...
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Milos Raonic.- Yes, Milos Raonic is the right answer.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57OK, Judith, your question.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Which country's men's team won gold
0:16:00 > 0:16:05in the Olympic field hockey competition six times in succession
0:16:05 > 0:16:08between 1928 and 1956?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I think it might be India.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Let's see. Eggheads, do we know? - India.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Yes, you're right, India it is.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Oh, OK, she's powered ahead here on Sport, Tara,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23so you need to get this one
0:16:23 > 0:16:25right to stay in.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Angelo Mathews has captained which country in international cricket?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Angelo Mathews.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Again, I don't know the answer to this question,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42it is a complete guess.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47I'm just going to pick one at random, so there's no logic to this,
0:16:47 > 0:16:48but I'm going with Sri Lanka.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Sri Lanka is the right answer.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52I'm so pleased.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54THEY LAUGH
0:16:54 > 0:16:56The stress of this is too much for me.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02All right. Judith, your third question, for the round.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05A man named George Stevens holds the record
0:17:05 > 0:17:08for the most victories in which race,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11having won it on five occasions?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20America's Cup, I don't think that's likely
0:17:20 > 0:17:23because that's only held every few years.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I think maybe four years.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27And it's incredibly expensive too.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And I'm not sure that a horse...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35He could ride different horses, couldn't he?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I think I'm going to say the University Boat Race,
0:17:38 > 0:17:39I think that's the most likely.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41It's the wrong answer.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42SHE LAUGHS
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Of course.- I like the way you laugh.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46It's the Grand National.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50The answer was wrong, Judith, so you have a chance here, Tara,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52to come back into it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Get this one right - whatever you need to do, just do it.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Maggie Alphonsi played 70 matches for England in which sport?
0:18:03 > 0:18:04OK.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11Once again, no idea of the answer, so definitely going for a guess.
0:18:12 > 0:18:1370 matches is a lot.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I don't know which of these sports
0:18:17 > 0:18:20that makes it more likely to be,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I'm not sure if that's a helpful clue.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I'm kind of tossing up between netball and rugby union,
0:18:25 > 0:18:26and I don't know why.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29But I'm going to go with rugby union, just because...
0:18:30 > 0:18:34..I've heard more about women playing rugby union in the UK,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36so that's my answer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39All right, rugby union is the correct answer.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41THEY LAUGH
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Oh, no.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47You must leave the studio, put a bet on a horse,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51cos you're going to win. I tell you what, this is amazing.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54All right. Now, whether this should be described as Sudden Death,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I don't know.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58We go to Sudden Death, Judith.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternative options, so here we go.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Which famous sporting event was held in London for the first time
0:19:06 > 0:19:09on the 29th of March, 1981?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11The London Marathon?
0:19:11 > 0:19:12The London Marathon is correct.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14So, Tara, you have to
0:19:14 > 0:19:15get this right to stay in.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19The winter sports venue of Wengen is in which country?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22That's W-E-N-G-E-N.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Wengen.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25It's a guess - Germany.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It's Switzerland.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Tara, sorry, you've been knocked out on Sudden Death.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Judith, there we go.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Through on Sport.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Please return to us, and we'll play the next round, see what happens.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42OK, so The Reel Deal have lost three brains now from the final round.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46What do we do? Do we change the projector now?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48What's the movie equivalent?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50No, we just need a killer third reel.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52OK, well, the fourth reel is Music.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54So who would like this?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56That's you, Dave.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- I'll go.- OK. So it is Dave against which Egghead?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02And it's either Barry or Kevin.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I'm going to have to go Barry, I want to take on Barry.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06All right. Dave from The Reel Deal
0:20:06 > 0:20:09will take on Barry from the Eggheads on Music.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Please go to the Question Room now.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15So, Music, Dave. Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I think I'd like to go second.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22OK, Barry, here we go.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24"Sometimes I feel like I've got to run away,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26"I've got to get away from the pain
0:20:26 > 0:20:28"you drive into the heart of me,"
0:20:28 > 0:20:30are the opening lines to which song?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Sounds very much like Tainted Love, so I shall go for that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Yeah. Tainted Love is right, Barry.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I know you knew that one, Dave. Here's your question.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Stitches is the title of a 2016 UK number one single
0:20:46 > 0:20:47by which man?
0:20:51 > 0:20:52OK.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54OK, it's Bieber or Shawn.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Tara, I'm sorry if this is wrong.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00But I'm going to go Shawn Mendes.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Team-mates? Is he right?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- You don't know?- We don't know.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I only know this because I've got a nine-year-old and she asked me to
0:21:07 > 0:21:08watch a video the other day.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11She put this on, and it was Shawn Mendes.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Yes.- It's a really good video.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Shawn Mendes. OK, Barry, your question.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Who is the co-founder and lead singer
0:21:18 > 0:21:20of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Dave Grohl is the Foo Fighters.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30But I think... I'm pretty certain
0:21:30 > 0:21:32the Red Hot Chilli Peppers is Anthony Kiedis.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Anthony Kiedis is correct.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41Dave. Which famous song features the lines, "The way you wear your hat,
0:21:41 > 0:21:42"the way you sip your tea?"
0:21:48 > 0:21:52# The way you wear your hat...
0:21:52 > 0:21:55# The memory of all that Oh, no, they... #
0:21:55 > 0:21:57It's They Can't Take That Away From Me.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Yeah, you're right. That's not an easy question.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02They Can't Take That Away From Me is right.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Dave, well done.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Barry, your third question.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08In which city was the rapper Jay Z born?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Jay Z.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I really don't know this at all.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19So I'm just going to have a guess.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I'm going to go straight down the middle for Los Angeles.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24No, you've got it wrong, Barry, it's New York.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Ah!
0:22:25 > 0:22:28So. Interesting moment in the game.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Get this right, Dave, and you're in the final.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Tocatta And Fugue In D Minor
0:22:34 > 0:22:37is a famous work for the organ by which composer?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Well, I always get this...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46You're supposed to follow your instinct on this.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I think...
0:22:48 > 0:22:51it's a toss-up between Beethoven and JS Bach.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54And, I don't know,
0:22:54 > 0:22:58my heart just says it's Johann Sebastian Bach.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Barry will know this. Barry?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- I'm toast.- And you are toast.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Bach is the right answer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Well done, Dave.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08There we go. It can be done - well done, Dave,
0:23:08 > 0:23:09you took on an Egghead, you defeated him.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Barry is knocked out, you are in the final.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14And if you come back to us, we will play the all-important final round.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18So this is what we have been playing towards,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20it is time for our final round.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:24 > 0:23:27won't be allowed to take part in this round, so that's Tara,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Becca and Ti from The Reel Deal, but also Barry from the Eggheads.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39OK, Dave and Pete, you're playing to win The Reel Deal £12,000.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Steve, Judith, Kevin and Chris,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44you're playing for something money can't buy, the Eggheads' reputation,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47just to protect your run that you're on.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51This time they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54You can confer. So, Reel Deal, the question is,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57are your two brains able to take down,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00close the curtains on these four?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Dave and Pete, do you want to go first or second?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- I think we'll go first, Jeremy, please.- Yeah, first.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08OK, Pete and Dave,
0:24:08 > 0:24:09good luck to you.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Here we go with your final round questions.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14The sharpshooter Annie Oakley was born in which year?
0:24:20 > 0:24:21It's Annie Get Your Gun, isn't it?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24It is. I used to work a lot with fairground history.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28My memory is leaning towards her
0:24:28 > 0:24:31being a big deal in the early 20th century.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I don't know.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- Because when's the heyday of that sort of thing?- Yeah.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42In my mind that is 1880ish, 1890s.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44You might be right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46So I'm just thinking Back To The Future III.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Yes.- 1885. I would go 1860.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Yeah, you're right. I think so.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55My confidence is not there.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56- OK, should we...?- 1860.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Yeah, I think we're going to go with 1860.
0:24:59 > 0:25:011860 is the right answer.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Good play. Eggheads, your question.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07The actress Jane Asher was engaged
0:25:07 > 0:25:09to which member of The Beatles in the 1960s?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14- It was Paul McCartney.- I'll go with
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Paul McCartney.- Yeah.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17That was Paul McCartney.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Paul McCartney's the right answer.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Back to you.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Who hosted the 2016 Tony Awards?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I want to say Neil Patrick Harris...
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Because he did the Oscars.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Yeah.- But I don't know if he did the Tonys.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34I think he did the Tonys.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Erm, I just have in my mind that it is Neil Patrick Harris.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It might be wrong but that's...
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Yeah. I think we're going to go with Neil Patrick Harris.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Neil Patrick Harris is your answer?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46OK. The answer is James Corden.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Oh... Sorry.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50It's cool.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Your question, Eggheads.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Which country is often referred to as The Lucky Country,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57a phrase coined by the writer Donald Horne?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Aussie. Yeah, I think that's Australia.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Is it? I don't know. Never heard it. - Chris thinks that too.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I think it's just a term that was...
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Well, South Africa...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- I don't think Ireland...- OK?
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Or South Africa.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16OK? Going for that, yeah?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I think it's referring to
0:26:18 > 0:26:19a combination of climate
0:26:19 > 0:26:21and being able to make
0:26:21 > 0:26:23a good life and other factors.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24I think that's Australia.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Australia is the right answer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28So, the Eggheads playing well.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30They've got two.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33You have to get this one right to stay in.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38The Kappa is a water demon from the mythology of which country?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40And Kappa is K-A-P-P-A.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47It's... Kappa... Erm...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Do you think it's Egypt? I can't remember it in Egyptian mythology.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52No, they don't really go in for sea monsters, I don't think.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Maybe.- Mexico's a bit general.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Yeah, that's the one I'm siding with.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Because in Japan, I don't know...
0:26:59 > 0:27:00I'm just trying to think of how that
0:27:00 > 0:27:02word would look in Japanese.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04It's a harsh consonant.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05To have two Ps...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Even in the Japanese translation, it's unlikely.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Yeah, that's good reasoning.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11So, I...
0:27:11 > 0:27:12I'd go with Mexico
0:27:12 > 0:27:14because it's surrounded by water.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16And, yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Let's go with Mexico.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Mexico? OK, a lot riding on this.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23If you are wrong, the contest is over.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Now, who knows this?
0:27:25 > 0:27:26- Anybody?- Japan?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- I'd have thought Japan. - You think Japan.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I'm afraid to say, Japan.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- You have won!- Very good game.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Good game.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Oh, what a brilliant team you are.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42We've had a number of great teams recently
0:27:42 > 0:27:43but you really were fabulous.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Listen, thank you so much for playing.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47And it's been such fun.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Really, hasn't it, Eggheads?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Really good. Yeah.- You put a smile on our faces here.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Commiserations, Reel Deal.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55The Eggheads, I did say at the beginning,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57they are in good form at the moment.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59There's not a lot of daylight to be had here.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02So they've done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Judith even won on Sport.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05That's remarkable.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07And the winning streak continues.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10So, it does mean you're not going home with the £12,000.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12We take that money, we roll it over to our next show.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Eggheads, well done.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I sort of wish you'd lost to this wonderful team.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I can see how good you are at the moment.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20And I wonder who will ever beat you.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:22 > 0:28:24have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27There's £13,000 to play for.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Until then, goodbye!
