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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 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 > 0:00:33Taking on our quiz champions today
0:00:33 > 0:00:36are Best of Brass. Now, this team are all members
0:00:36 > 0:00:39of the Bollington Brass Band in Cheshire,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and they recently came second in the European Brass Band Championships.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Bev.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm a speech and language therapy associate.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Roger. I'm a retired headteacher.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Paul and I'm an insurance broker.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Claire. I'm an NHS manager.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Alan.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59I'm a retired printer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01So, Bev and team, great to see you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- Thank you for coming. - Thank you, Jeremy.- Thank you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06And you've obviously done really well in this championship?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Yes, yeah. We're pros at it now.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It's not just you five, is it?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13The brass band is how many people?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15We've probably got about 25 members altogether,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18so we're just a select few.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19But you do quiz, do you, Bev?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We do quiz and we held our own band quiz.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25We do this annually and it was actually only two weeks ago.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28So we should be on really good form today.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Excellent! That's very good.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33They like a battle, this lot over here.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Well, good luck. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:37 > 0:01:40for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46So, Best of Brass, the Eggheads are now doing really well.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47It's officially a roll.
0:01:47 > 0:01:4912 games in a row they've won,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53which means there is £13,000 as a jackpot today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Do you want to try and win it? - Yes.- Yes!
0:01:55 > 0:01:56OK, let's go for it.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The first head-to-head is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01So, who would like this?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Who do you think?- I don't mind this.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Claire?- Claire?- I don't mind it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Yeah. It's your thing?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10No, it's not my thing.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11THEY CHUCKLE
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So, Claire, our NHS manager, Film & TV against which Egghead?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Any one of the five, Claire.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Judith.- OK.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So, it's Claire from Best of Brass versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Film & TV, Claire. Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37And good luck to Best of Brass. Here we go with your first question.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Which character in the TV sitcom Fawlty Towers
0:02:41 > 0:02:43was played by Prunella Scales?
0:02:46 > 0:02:51OK, yes, it was definitely Sybil.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54So glad you got that right, cos you could get confused there.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Yes, Polly was the younger...
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Younger waitress. She was actually married to...
0:02:59 > 0:03:00- John Cleese's wife.- That's right.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Cleese's wife on the screen was Sybil and that was Prunella Scales.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Well done, Claire. OK, Judith, your question.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Which of these men has won a Best Director Academy Award?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Er...
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I don't know who Vin Diesel is, to be honest.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I have a feeling Mel Gibson might have done.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- What do you think it was for? - I can't remember.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- OK. Beth, do you know?- Yeah, it was for Braveheart in '95.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Braveheart in '95, says Beth.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Mel Gibson is the right answer.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32He was in it, though, wasn't he, as well?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Yeah, in it, directed it, all of that.- And directed it, yeah.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37OK. Claire,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40the Oscar-winning film Spotlight featured investigative journalists
0:03:40 > 0:03:42working for which newspaper?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Claire, is it...?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Not got a clue.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Never heard of the film.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I will go for...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55the Washington Post.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59No, I'm drawing a slight blank here. Team-mates, do you know?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- We...- Roger does.- No, we don't.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Roger's certain.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04No, I'm not.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06You're not certain. Eggheads?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Boston Globe.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Boston Globe is the answer.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Judith, who played the role of Douglas Reynholm
0:04:12 > 0:04:16in the TV comedy series The IT Crowd?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I don't know, cos I didn't see it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I think I'm going to say Chris O'Dowd.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Just on a hunch?- Just on a hunch.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32OK. It's a wrong hunch, though.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33- Oh, dear.- It's Matt Berry.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Oh, right.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So get this right, Claire, and you
0:04:37 > 0:04:38put Judith under pressure.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42In which TV drama series did Rob James-Collier
0:04:42 > 0:04:44play the role of Thomas Barrow?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51This is bad news, cos I've not watched any of those.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Er...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55And I know everyone at home will probably be
0:04:55 > 0:04:56screaming at the television.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I will go Downton Abbey.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Challengers, is she right?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Yes.- You're right - Downton Abbey it is.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05That was useful.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08OK, Judith. Therefore, you need this to stay in.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Who plays the role of the villain Ra's al Ghul
0:05:12 > 0:05:15in the film Batman Begins?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Oh, dear.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24I never watch those Batman films and I do try and sort of learn them.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Well, Gary Oldman's quite a good villain. I should think...
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Let's try Gary Oldman.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30If you've got this right, we go to Sudden Death, Judith.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- But we haven't.- We haven't got it right - it's Liam Neeson.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35So, well done, Claire - you're through.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38You're in the final round. A good start for Best of Brass.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Please come back to us.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So, a good start for Best of Brass.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47You can blow your own trumpets -
0:05:47 > 0:05:48you've not lost any brains from the final round.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52The Eggheads have lost Judith, which can be important in the final.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54The next subject is Science.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Who would like this?- Ooh, dear.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Paul.- I think Paul was the...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Yeah, the sacrificial lamb.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Paul. Against which Egghead, Paul?
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Anyone but Judith.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09How about one of the...? How about Steve or Beth?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- We're still getting the measure of them.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- They're probably both brilliant. - Or shall I...?- No, don't go for him.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Kevin.- Cos we'll lose.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19- Go for Kevin?- Yeah.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21OK, I'll take on Kevin.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Yeah, and it's worked for teams in the past to take him on early.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Paul from Best of Brass versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30please now go to our Question Room.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35So, Paul, would you like to go first or second?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'll go first, please.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42And here is your question.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45The disease mange primarily affects which part of the body?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Well, Jeremy...
0:06:52 > 0:06:56..I'm not 100% sure on this.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58But I don't think it's the brain.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I think it's the skin.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I'm going to go for skin.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Skin is correct.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07OK, Kevin. Here's your question.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10What type of vehicle was Clive Sinclair's C5?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, I'm sure he was probably working on the others as well,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21but this particular instance, it was a -
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I think rather dangerous - electric car.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Electric car is right.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29One each. Back to you, Paul.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33What does a phlebotomist do for a living, Paul?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I'm...
0:07:39 > 0:07:43quite confident that they take blood.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I'm going to say, take blood.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Take blood is correct. OK, Kevin, your question. The word "sciatic"
0:07:49 > 0:07:52refers to which part of the human body?
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Well, the sciatic nerve is obviously one of the major nerves in the body.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03It's nothing to do with the mouth.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I think as between the other two...
0:08:05 > 0:08:07When you have a touch of sciatica,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10it's referring to the mid-body, really, the lower back and that.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14So, of the others, I would go for hip.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Hip is right.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18OK, tight play. Paul, see if
0:08:18 > 0:08:20you can take advantage now - your third question.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Approximately how many species of monkeys are there in the world?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Really no idea on this.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35But it's hard to believe that there would be 2,000.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I think I'm good to have to go straight down the middle
0:08:38 > 0:08:41with a guess of 200.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45200 is the right answer, Paul. Three out of three. Well played.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47So, Kevin, this to stay in.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51What is the SI unit for electrical conductance?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57A watt is a unit of power, a newton of force.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01So electrical conductance is siemens.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Siemens is correct.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06So, after three questions each, it couldn't be tighter in this round.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08You've both got all three right and, Paul, we go back to you.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Sudden Death gets a bit harder - I don't give you alternatives.
0:09:11 > 0:09:17What are the tiny pellets of plastic added to everyday cosmetic products,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20such as toothpastes and body scrubs, called?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I really don't know that.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I'm going to say exfoliators.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- I don't really know. - Do you know, Eggs?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I think it might be microspheres, microbeads.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Microbeads, Beth, yeah. Microbeads.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Kevin, this question to win the round, therefore.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41By what common name is the indigestion aid
0:09:41 > 0:09:44with the chemical formula Mg(OH)2 known?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46That's magnesium hydroxide.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Er...
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Damn! I'm... Sorry, no, I'm just... I'm torn there between...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Between two.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Which one is magnesium hydroxide?
0:09:58 > 0:09:59I think Epsom salts.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Yeah, I'm afraid I can't accept that.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Your magnesium hydroxide is fine,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06but then you need to then go to milk of magnesia.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I knew it was either Epsom salts or milk of magnesia.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12And Epsom salts is magnesium sulphate.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Yes, yeah. No, absolutely. You're right.- OK, Paul...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Wasn't expecting that! My goodness. OK.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19So, your question...
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Sudden Death, remember.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Used by astronauts on the International Space Station,
0:10:24 > 0:10:29what does the M stand for in the abbreviation EMU?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I don't know that abbreviation.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37I'm going to say...micro.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Kevin, do you know this?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Manoeuvring? - No. It's tricky, isn't it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44It's the extravehicular mobility unit.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45So, mobility is the answer.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48What they use when they get outside the space station.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50So, Kevin, this for the round.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Your question, Sudden Death.
0:10:52 > 0:10:59Prunus avium is the scientific name for which attractive native UK tree?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Right, so a lot of fruits are members of the...
0:11:04 > 0:11:06..prunus family. Er...
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Cherry tree.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Yes, you're right.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Cherry tree - wild cherries.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Kevin, well done. That was a little
0:11:15 > 0:11:17bit stickier than it normally is, actually.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19That's interesting. You on your Science.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Maybe I need some milk of magnesia.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Yeah, the science files are a bit dusty in Kevin's head, maybe.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Paul, sorry. You were beaten by our Egghead and, as a result,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29you will not be in the final round. Kevin will.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Please come back to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Well, it's a big game, this. Best of Brass playing for £13,000.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40They've lost a brain, the Eggheads have lost a brain.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Perfectly level.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Let's see what happens now.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44It's Sport.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Oh!- Ooh!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- I think that's Alan, isn't it? - That's me.- That's you.- Alan.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Against which Egghead?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Er...I'm thinking... - Beth.- Yes, I'm thinking Beth.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Cos she's obviously good on Science and other things.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Very good on Film & TV. Let's hope she's not as good at Sport.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Correct. I'll take on Beth, Jeremy, please.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05OK, I understand. Trying to work out how good she is on Sport.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Let's find out. Alan from Best of Brass
0:12:08 > 0:12:11takes on Beth from the Eggheads.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Beth, what sort of sports do you like?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Everything. Everything and anything, apart from two.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22There's two major sports I don't watch or follow or anything
0:12:22 > 0:12:24and that's motorbikes and rugby league.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Oh, OK. Well, Alan, we want question one and two on those, then, do we?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31All questions on motorbikes would be great, yes.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Oh, I see. You like motorbikes, do you?- Yes.- OK.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Interesting. Well, good luck, Beth.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Good luck, Alan. Alan, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Here we go with your question.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Which of these tennis players was born first?
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Er...
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Have to admit I'm not a tennis fan.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I think we'll go with Chris Evert.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Yeah, she does go back a way. Chris Evert is right.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Beth, your question. Jason Robinson,
0:13:06 > 0:13:11who won the Rugby Union World Cup with England in 2003,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13played in which position in the final?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Now... Oh, let me think about this.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20He's quite a...
0:13:20 > 0:13:22swift one.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24So he could be down the wing.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27First thought was wing, so let's stick with wing.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Let's see if the Eggheads know. Eggheads?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Yeah, he'd be a wing. Yup. - You like it?
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- I were there.- You were there?- Yeah.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Steve was there. Wing is right.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- Hooray!- Hooray!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39OK, on to you, Alan.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Ronald Koeman became the manager of which football club in June 2016?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well, he's never managed Aston Villa.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52And he's left Southampton and gone to Everton.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Everton is correct.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Beth, your second question.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Who became the director of England cricket in 2015?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Ooh! This one's passed me by.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I'm a fan of cricket.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Could very conceivably be all of them.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Michael Vaughan - well-known commentator now.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Andrew Strauss, not long retired.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Hmm.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22So...I'm going to go with Nasser Hussain.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26OK. I saw the Eggs flinch.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Is Beth right?- Andrew Strauss.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Oh!- Andrew Strauss is the answer.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34So, back to you, Alan. A little break
0:14:34 > 0:14:35for our Challengers here.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Get this right and you will have pulled past the Eggheads.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43In which year did the British athlete Lynn Davies
0:14:43 > 0:14:46win an Olympic gold medal in the men's long jump?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Er...1956 is too early.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I'm pretty certain it was Tokyo in 1964.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04OK, if you've got this right, you'll have of had three out of three
0:15:04 > 0:15:06and you'll be in the final round. Let's just see,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08cos your colleagues here look excited.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10What do you think, guys and gals?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- He's right.- I think he's right. - Yeah, you're right, '64 it was.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Well done, Alan, you've taken out an Egghead there.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Beth will not be in the final and you will.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Do come back, please. Rejoin your teams.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Well, is there something in the air here?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Best of Brass have lost one brain.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29The Eggheads have now lost two.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32And the last subject before the final is Politics.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Who would like this? It can be Roger or the skipper, Bev.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Well, actually, I'm going to take this one for the team.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- OK.- We want Roger in the final.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42All right. Well, who would you like to take on?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You can have either Steve, who's new, or Barry, who's not.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I'd go for Barry - he's got a lovely shirt.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Yeah, Barry's got a good shirt.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- I like Barry's shirts, so yeah... - Go on, then.- Barry, thanks.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- On the basis of Barry's shirt? - Yeah.- All right.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- No other reason. - We've got a lot of Bs now.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Bev from Best of Brass versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Please go, with your shirt, to the Question Room.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06OK, Politics, Bev. First or second?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Er...let's go first.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Here we go - your first question.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Il Duce was the nickname of which political figure?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27I'm just trying to see what that sounds like, what nationality.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Er...
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Doesn't sound French.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I think I'm going to go Fidel Castro.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38But it's a complete guess.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Team-mates, is she right?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- No.- No, it's Mussolini.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Mussolini from the Second World War period.- Yeah.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Barry, in which year
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- was the Lib Dem leader Tim Farron born?- Ooh!
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- You reacted with surprise.- Yes.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I have a mental image of him in my head
0:17:01 > 0:17:04and he doesn't really look that old.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07So it can't possibly be 1950 or...
0:17:07 > 0:17:111960. It must be 1970.
0:17:11 > 0:17:121970 is the right answer.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16OK, so Barry's in the lead here, Bev.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Your question. The Shadow Chancellor, John McConnell,
0:17:18 > 0:17:23was criticised in 2015 for reading extracts from which book
0:17:23 > 0:17:24in Parliament?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I absolutely have not got a clue.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I can't imagine that it would be 50 Shades Of Grey.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I'm going to just do a guess at Little Red Book.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Absolutely right.- Really? - Yeah, Mao's Little Red Book.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47OK. So you're level - one point each.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Your second question, Barry.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52At the time of the 2016 EU Referendum,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55how many seats did the UK have in the European Parliament?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I'm pretty certain the UK had 73 seats.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05It did indeed have 73.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09You're absolutely right. Bev, you need to get this one right.
0:18:09 > 0:18:16- I know!- In 2010, Gloria De Piero became the MP for Ashfield,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18representing which party?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I don't think it's Liberal Democrats.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So I'm going to say...
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- ..Conservative. - Eggheads, do you know?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- Labour.- Yeah, Labour is the answer.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35The seat of a guy called Geoff Hoon.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37She's in the Labour Party.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39So Barry's taken that round.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Sorry, Bev - beaten by our Egghead.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Don't worry - your team has still got a very good shout in this final.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48If you come back to us, both of you, we will play that final round.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52And this is what we have been playing towards -
0:18:52 > 0:18:53it is time for our final round.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55As always, General Knowledge.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:18:57 > 0:18:59won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02So that's Bev and Paul from Best of Brass,
0:19:02 > 0:19:03and Beth and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10OK, Roger, Claire and Alan,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I gather you are two cornets and a flugelhorn?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- That's right.- Yes, that's right.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17You are playing to win Best of Brass £13,000.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Steve, Barry and Kevin, here you are - band of brothers -
0:19:21 > 0:19:24fighting to hold on to the Eggheads' reputation
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and keep this roll going, which is so impressive.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32This time, they are all General Knowledge.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36You can confer. So, Best of Brass, the question is,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39can you, with your three brains, take out these three over here?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Good luck. Do you want to go first or second?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- First? Yeah, first. - First, please, Jeremy.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51And here is your first question. Playing for £13,000.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Which of these words means a selfless concern for others?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Altruism, I'd go for.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Altruism?- Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05We're going for altruism.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Altruism is the right answer.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10OK, Eggheads.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Which of these is a coastal resort in Italy?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Amalfi.- Amalfi?- Yeah.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I'm reliably informed that's Amalfi, Jeremy.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Amalfi is the right answer.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28One each. Back to you - £13,000.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Best of Brass, your question.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34The Rastafarian movement originated on which island?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I'd go for Jamaica. - Yeah, it's not Cuba.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42No, it's not Cuba.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- I think it's Jamaica. - Yeah, I think it is Jamaica.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Yeah?- Yeah.- We're going for Jamaica, Jeremy, please.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52It's the sort of question where the answer comes into your head
0:20:52 > 0:20:55straightaway, Jamaica, then you see the other options and start to...
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Fatally start to veer around.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59But I guess we would go Bob Marley and Jamaica.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Yeah, Jamaica's right.- OK.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04OK, Eggheads...
0:21:04 > 0:21:10Fidei defensor was a title given to which King of England by Pope Leo X?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Henry VIII. Was it for In Defence Of The Seven Sacraments?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- That's the book that he wrote, yes. - The Pope awarded him that.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24We're all agreed that's Henry VIII, Jeremy.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Henry VIII is the right answer.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So your third question - get this right, the pressure will be
0:21:30 > 0:21:33on the Eggheads, and who knows - they could crack.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36What name is given to the traditional English pie
0:21:36 > 0:21:39that contains onions, apples, bacon and sometimes potatoes?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45It's definitely fidget pie.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Yeah. The other ones don't... - All agreed it's fidget pie, Jeremy.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Oh, you're straight there.- Yeah.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Fidget pie is the right answer.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Three out of three - really well played.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Let's see if the Eggheads can keep it level
0:21:57 > 0:21:58or whether now they crash out.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02You may have to do no more to win £13,000.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Eggheads, your question.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09Satyajit Ray was a leading name in which field in the 20th century?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Film direction?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Yeah, we'll just make double sure, though.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Can we just have...?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Just to make absolutely certain, can we have a spelling, Jeremy?
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Yes, S-A-T-Y-A-J-I-T and then Ray.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Yeah, film director.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Yeah, we're happy with that one, Jeremy - it's film direction.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I think he was famous for the Apu trilogy.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33- The which trilogy?- Apu.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35It was a trilogy about...
0:22:35 > 0:22:39the life of a lad from a village in Bengal.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It followed him from... The first film, he was a child,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and then it followed him through his life.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46And it was the first really big breakthrough internationally
0:22:46 > 0:22:48for Indian cinema.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Film direction is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Oh, this is a tight contest!
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Neither team has really broken a sweat so far.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58So you're level after three multiple-choice questions.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00It gets a bit harder now - we go to Sudden Death.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I don't give you different options.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Challengers, the actor Michael Fassbender
0:23:06 > 0:23:08was born in which country?
0:23:09 > 0:23:10I think he's German.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Are you thinking that just because of his name?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18No, I've not got a clue. I don't know.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22The only thing we've got is German.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24May as well go with that.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26This is a pure guess, Jeremy. We're going for Germany.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Well, you went straight there.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Germany's right.- Ooh!- Well done. - Pure luck.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32That may be a very, very valuable answer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35£13,000 you're playing for.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38And suddenly you can see a bead of sweat now
0:23:38 > 0:23:43on the forehead of the Eggheads, cos they know they are in danger.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47The American musical instruments company Rickenbacker
0:23:47 > 0:23:50is most famous for making which instrument, Eggheads?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Get this wrong, the contest is over.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- I think they're guitars. - Yeah, guitars.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57The only instrument I associate the name Rickenbacker with
0:23:57 > 0:24:00is guitars, Jeremy, so that's what we're going to say.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Guitar is right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04OK, back to you.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Sudden Death, Best of Brass.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08£13,000.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09In Greek mythology,
0:24:09 > 0:24:14which woman opened a box from which all the evils of the world...
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Pandora. - ..were released, leaving only hope?
0:24:17 > 0:24:18- That's Pandora.- Are you sure?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Yeah.- Pandora's right.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Pandora's box.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30Eggheads, Damien Hirst's famous dead-shark-in-a-tank piece,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34called The Physical Impossibility Of Death In The Mind Of Someone Living,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38was commissioned by which art collector?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I think it's Charles Saatchi.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Yeah. I mean, he's... - I can't think of anybody else.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- I think he'd...- He collected a lot. - Definitely Charles, not Maurice?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Ah.- That's the only thing that's worrying me.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I think Charles is the name you go to, isn't it? But I really...
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I couldn't...veer either way, to be honest.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- I think it probably... - A percentage call, is Charles.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01It probably is Saatchi.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Yeah.- Are we inclined towards Charles, then?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- I think we have to. - With a bit of doubt.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Well as you can probably tell, Jeremy, we're not exactly sure.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Hopefully we've nailed it down to the right family,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16which is the Saatchi brothers.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20But, obviously, there's two of those. So it's a 50-50, really.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23And based on the fact that Charles is probably more prominent
0:25:23 > 0:25:25in the news than his brother Maurice,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27we're going to say Charles Saatchi.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Charles Saatchi is your answer.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Well, you're right - it is a Saatchi.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34And then you got into a little bit of this and that.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35One brother and another brother.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Do you know, by the way?- No.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- We'd go for Charles. - You'd go for Charles?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The dead-shark-in-the-tank piece was commissioned by Charles Saatchi.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Ooh! - BARRY CHUCKLES
0:25:44 > 0:25:48There's a genuine bead of sweat now!
0:25:48 > 0:25:51You won't believe it, but this means a lot to these Eggheads.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53They get to...
0:25:53 > 0:25:5612, 13 programmes in a row, they really want it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58So keep your concentration here - you're playing
0:25:58 > 0:26:00for £13,000. We are on Sudden Death.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Who directed the 1963 film The Great Escape?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06I've watched it often enough.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09This is in your DVD collection.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I know. I must've watched it 20 times.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Steve McQueen, Gordon Jackson -
0:26:16 > 0:26:18just think of all the people who are in it.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21It wouldn't be Richard Attenborough, would it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23He was in it, wasn't he?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Might have been.- Was he acting,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- rather than directing? - Rather than directing.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I'd go for Attenborough,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- just as long shot, but I don't think it is.- No.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I feel I should know it.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38We haven't got anything else.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Afraid we're stuck on this one, Jeremy.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46We should know it, we feel - we've played it often enough.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48We're going to go for Richard Attenborough,
