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?
0:00:23 > 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 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads, and you're really firing at the moment, Eggs.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are Quarter Life Crisis. Now, this team met when they lived
0:00:39 > 0:00:42in halls of residence together at the University of Bristol.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Andy and I am a recruitment consultant.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Ed and I'm a primary school teacher.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Sean. I'm an odds compiler.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Jake and I'm a student nurse.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Paul and I'm a maths teacher.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00So, Andy and team, welcome. Great to see you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Hi.- And you met at Bristol, you then, kind of,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- fanned out around the country. Is that right?- Yeah, pretty much.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07- Yeah, we've all moved out.- Right.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09And... And tell me about your quizzing.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I think we've had some pub quizzes in the past and...
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- A few.- Yeah.- Back in halls.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Oh, that doesn't sound too convincing!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- It's not, no!- There's a desperate lack of conviction.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23You once attended a quiz together?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Yeah.- That qualifies you. - One or more.- Yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27And we've had winners who have come from that position.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- And there was also a dodgeball competition.- Erm, it was just...
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I think it was near our house and we just had a, sort of, team of five,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36and I think it was a big tournament, so it went on
0:01:36 > 0:01:38and, yeah, we took home the crown.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Will you be using the spirit of dodgeball to beat the Eggheads?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- I think so, yeah. - So, good luck, team.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:46 > 0:01:48up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Now, Quarter Life Crisis, the Eggheads are doing really well.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00They've won the last 14 games, which means Pat has been doing...
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Come on, Pat. The shoulder roll.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Watch this!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06LAUGHTER
0:02:06 > 0:02:09That's what they do when they go above 10,000, OK?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It means... It means you're playing
0:02:12 > 0:02:13for £15,000 today.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15All right? So, it's...
0:02:15 > 0:02:18The upside is the jackpot is huge.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20The downside is they're on good form.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- But you can take them down. Would you like to try?- Yup.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Absolutely.- Definitely.- Excellent.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26The spirit of dodgeball - remember that, OK?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Who would like this?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Anyone...?- I think Jake should take it.- I think Jake.- Yeah.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Yeah.- I'll do this.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36- Yeah.- Jake, is it?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Yeah.- Now, which Egghead? You can have any one of the five.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40And we've got the two new ones, as well.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- What do we think, guys? - A difficult one to call.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Erm...- we kind of want to take, like,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49maybe someone who we will play against and like a...
0:02:49 > 0:02:51For example, Dave, we DON'T want to play at Sport.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Yeah.- So we might want to play...
0:02:53 > 0:02:54- OK.- OK?- Yeah. - Do you want to do that?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Yeah, we'll take on Dave, then.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58All right, try and get them out of their comfort zones.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59- Mmm.- Good thought.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- I'll give it a go.- So, Jake from Quarter Life Crisis versus Dave,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06who is not yet in the mid-life zone, I don't think, from the Eggheads.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh, I don't know about that!
0:03:09 > 0:03:10To ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18All right, Jake. Good luck against Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:03:18 > 0:03:19and Music is your subject.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24I'm guessing you're into music that is...new, not old,
0:03:24 > 0:03:25but maybe I'm wrong about that?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Yeah, mostly. I mean, like, I love a bit of Motown and stuff as well,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31but if anything classical comes up, I'm struggling.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Good luck in this round, Jake. Music against Dave.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I will go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Here we go. Like A Rolling Stone was a UK hit single
0:03:45 > 0:03:48for which man in 1965?
0:03:52 > 0:03:53OK... This is...
0:03:53 > 0:03:57I know it's a bit older, but I think I still know this.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I'm going to go for Bob Dylan, please.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Bob Dylan is correct.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Good play. That's...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05So, you've got the rock-and-roll heritage there.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Oh, it's my parents' era, so... - Yeah.- ..it's fine.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10OK, here's your question, Dave.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Which of these musical instruments typically has four strings?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Just checking... Four strings.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- I've gone... I've gone absolutely... - DAVE LAUGHS
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Terrible!
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Cello.- Cello's right.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Well done. You had a blank.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Just had a blank, blank moment.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Jake, your question. Send My Love To Your New Lover
0:04:34 > 0:04:36is a 2016 single by which singer?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43See, now, this definitely isn't my area.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Erm... Send My Love To Your New Lover.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50I don't think it's Adele, but that's not based on much,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54so it's a toss-up between the other two.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Taylor Swift writes a lot of songs about heartbreak,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02so let's go for Taylor Swift.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Adele is the right answer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06OK, Dave, your question. To take the lead,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08which famous song features these lyrics?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10"When we've been there 10,000 years
0:05:10 > 0:05:11"Bright shining as the sun
0:05:11 > 0:05:14"We've no less days to sing God's praise
0:05:14 > 0:05:16"Than when we've first begun."
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Can you repeat the words, please?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25"When we've been there 10,000 years
0:05:25 > 0:05:28"Bright shining as the sun
0:05:28 > 0:05:31"We've no less days to sing God's praise
0:05:31 > 0:05:33"Than when we've first begun."
0:05:33 > 0:05:34I'm just trying to think...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37What's a shame is that I have sung Abide With Me,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41but just the first verse, obviously, at Wembley,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44when Manchester United were on numerous visits.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I'm going to rule out Rule Britannia, rule out Abide With Me,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49and go with Amazing Grace, please.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yeah, Amazing Grace it is.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52# When we've been there 10,000 years
0:05:52 > 0:05:54# Bright shining as the sun... #
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- It's that song.- It was written by a chap called John Newton,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59who was a captain of a slaver ship,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and he was so appalled by what he saw that he became...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04He saw the light and became a Christian missionary
0:06:04 > 0:06:06on one of his... Wrote a lot of songs and hymns,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08but one of the first ones he ever wrote was Amazing Grace,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- to recant from his previous life. - That's amazing.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13OK, Jake. Now,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15you need to get this one right, Jake, cos of the...
0:06:15 > 0:06:17what we will call the Taylor Swift incident.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21The distinctive theme tune to the South Bank Show
0:06:21 > 0:06:25is a modern arrangement of a piece of music by which composer?
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Right, I was hoping classical music wouldn't come up and it duly has,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37so this is going to have to be a complete guess.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38I went down the middle last time.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I'll do the same again and go for Paganini.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Do you know the tune we're talking about?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Not a clue.- It is quite an old song, but it's...
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Barry, could you hum it for us or something?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50BARRY AND JEREMY HUM THE TUNE
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Yes, and on it goes.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Paganini's right.- Oof!- Well done.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Lucked out.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Dave, your question. You can take the round with this.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Who had a 1976 UK hit with Young Hearts Run Free?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Mmm... Oh, yeah!
0:07:11 > 0:07:141,000 times a day, I just can't get away...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16from Candi Staton.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I knew, as soon I saw the words "1976 UK hit,"
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I thought you could do this in your sleep.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I calibrated that. Can't... Can't think of...
0:07:24 > 0:07:28instantly how many strings a cello's got, but Candi Staton, that was a...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- That was all right for me.- Well, she did Nights On Broadway, as well,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- didn't she, I think? - Did she do that?- I think so.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Oh, right, cos the other one she did, erm...
0:07:36 > 0:07:39It's gone again! She did... Oh, I'll get there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- We'll have it later.- Yeah.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Candi Staton is the right answer, Dave, well done. Jake, sorry,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Dave is actually quite good on his music as well as sport,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and you've been knocked out by an Egghead there, but don't worry,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52your team can still win, that's for sure.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Please come back and rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58So, Candi Staton, we had Nights On Broadway
0:07:58 > 0:08:00and we had Young Hearts Run Free,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- but you've got another one, Dave? - You've Got The Love.- Right.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Yeah.- And Jake, you've got... Also had a moment with Adele.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Yeah, well, it's come back to bite me.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11So, I was actually at Glastonbury when she was playing
0:08:11 > 0:08:13but I was asleep in my tent at the time.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Was that your quarter-life crisis that was...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Must have been!- ..being played out?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21All right, the Challengers have lost a brain from the final round,
0:08:21 > 0:08:22so you've taken a bit of a blow.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Just regroup and remember dodgeball.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28And the next subject... Maybe this is good.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30We've got Sport now.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Got to be Sean.- We know who's up. - It's got to be you.- OK?- Yeah.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Got to be.- Sean, yeah.- Yeah, I'll take it.- Who's it going to be?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Sean, yeah, yeah.- Sean? OK. Against which Egghead?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Any one but Dave. - Might try your luck against Beth.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- We don't know much.- We don't know. - Give it a go.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- OK?- Against Beth.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49All right, so Sean, our football odds compiler, against Beth.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Would you please go to the Question Room now?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Sean, I described you as a football odds compiler, so please...
0:08:56 > 0:08:58please explain what that is.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03It's basically a fancy way of saying that I look at football statistics
0:09:03 > 0:09:05for a living, basically.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09So you, if you have a match coming up, people bet on it and you...
0:09:09 > 0:09:10- you set the odds?- Yeah, so, I...
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Well, I'm in the back end, so I just...basically do various...
0:09:14 > 0:09:17use various programmes and stuff to look at stats,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19at how teams are playing, and then from...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21use that and other factors.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22All right, Sport against Beth.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Sean, would you like to go first or second?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Erm, I'm going to go first, please, thanks.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Here we go. Which tennis player was given a two-year ban from the sport
0:09:34 > 0:09:40in June 2016, after testing positive for the banned substance meldonium?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Erm, I think I know this.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I think it's Maria Sharapova.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Yeah, Maria Sharapova's right.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55OK, good luck, Beth. Here we go.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Which famous golfer was nicknamed the Golden Bear?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Hmm, Greg Norman was the Great White Shark.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09So, Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo...
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Sorry, could you repeat the question for me, please, Jeremy?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Which famous golfer was nicknamed the Golden Bear?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Nick Faldo was more in my lifetime
0:10:17 > 0:10:20for me to remember a nickname like that,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23so I'm going with Jack Nicklaus.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25You've got it right, Beth. Well done. Jack Nicklaus it is.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28One each. Back to you, Sean.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32The cricketer Derek Underwood, nicknamed Deadly,
0:10:32 > 0:10:37performed which role for the England team in 86 Test matches?
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Erm, it's not exactly... I really am into cricket,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48but it's, erm, not my... not my time, not my era.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Erm, I actually play a lot of cricket. Erm...
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I'm going to go opening batsman.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Do you know this, Beth?- I would have gone, from his nickname,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59for making him out to be a bowler, but...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Oh, I see, cos... Yeah, that's a good, good thought, actually.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Deadly suggests he's maybe aiming at something.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Spin bowler is the answer, Sean.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10OK, Beth, your question to take the lead.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Eric Dier, who scored England's first goal of Euro 2016,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16joined which English club in 2014?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Oh, Eric Dier, he grew up in Portugal
0:11:22 > 0:11:26and played a lot of his football in Portugal,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29but I believe he joined Tottenham Hotspur.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Tottenham Hotspur is quite right. So, Beth takes the lead
0:11:33 > 0:11:36and that means you need to get this one right, Sean.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Which boxer became heavyweight champion of the world in 1962
0:11:41 > 0:11:43by knocking out Floyd Patterson?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Not my sport or my era.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Erm, 1962...
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'm going to go...
0:11:58 > 0:11:59..Joe Frazier, please.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Let me ask Dave cos he knows this stuff. Dave?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03It's Sonny Liston.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08So, Sonny Liston was then defeated by Ali, famously, wasn't he?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Yes, in '64, and then Joe Frazier was...
0:12:10 > 0:12:12was late '71, I think, he defeated Ali.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Right.- Yeah, it's Sonny Liston.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Sonny Liston the answer there. Sorry, Sean, beaten by Beth.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Well done, Beth, you're in the final round.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21And if you come back to us and rejoin your teams, we'll play on.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Right, Quarter Life Crisis
0:12:25 > 0:12:27have lost a couple of brains now from the final round.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29The Eggheads are all sitting pretty there.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31So, the next subject is Science.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Let's see if we can turn it around, guys.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Who'd like this?- More cannon fodder.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- I think it's going to be Paul's. - Yeah, I'll take it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Paul? OK.- Yeah. - On the end, our maths teacher.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Against which Egghead?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45And you've got Pat, Steve and Barry left.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Barry was meant to be really good at Science, wasn't he?
0:12:47 > 0:12:52Let's choose Barry, then. Erm... Shall we try Steve?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Try him.- Give it a go. We'll go with Steve, yeah.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56OK, Steve, a bit of an unknown quantity still,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58here in the Eggheads studio.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Paul from Quarter Life Crisis versus one of our newest Eggheads, Steve.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Paul, I think this could be a good round for you.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You're a maths teacher. What are the ages of the children you teach?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- 11 to 18.- OK, so you're doing, what?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Is it Pythagoras and differentiation and...?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Yeah, all that kind of stuff, yeah.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Barry loves that, don't you, Barry?
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Absolutely. It's fun.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Steve, do you like it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- No.- No? LAUGHTER
0:13:24 > 0:13:25You're not a maths person?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I can add up, but that's about it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Now, we do shapes and angles sometimes, as well.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Right. So this... It could fall your way. I just don't know, Paul.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Let's see. Would you like to go first or second on Science?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Erm, I'll go first, please.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43And here is your first Science question.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48We're hoping for maths here. The large musk ox
0:13:48 > 0:13:51is native to which part of the world?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Ox... Let's see. It's going to be a guess.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I'm trying to think if I can make it an educated guess.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Erm...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Let's go for the Sahara.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Arctic is the answer.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09But that was definitely not a maths question, Paul. Sorry about that.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13OK, Steve. Which of these creatures is classified as an insect?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Well, it goes on legs and body parts, Jeremy, so a locust,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23having three body parts and six legs...
0:14:23 > 0:14:24is an insect.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27You're quite right. Many people would go wrong with that one,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29but locust is the answer.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Paul. Which type of bird,
0:14:31 > 0:14:37belonging to the order Gruiformes and weighing up to 18kg,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41is often said to be the heaviest modern flying bird?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Erm...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Again, it's going to be a...
0:14:49 > 0:14:51It's going to have to be a guess.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Osprey, something to do with the rugby team...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55They're quite big, aren't they, usually?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I'm going to go for osprey.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Osprey. Anyone know here? Is he right?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I'd guess on bustard.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03You think bustard? Yeah,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05there's a bit of bustard going on, on your team.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Bustard is the answer.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13OK, well, Steve, you have a chance to take this round on this question.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18Which of these planets in our solar system is closest to the sun?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Well, there is a clever mnemonic
0:15:23 > 0:15:26to remember the order of the planets, erm, from the sun,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28but, unfortunately, I don't know it.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30But fortunately I do happen to know that, of the three,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Jupiter is the closest to the Sun.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Jupiter is your answer. - Yeah, Jupiter.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Jupiter is correct. You got it right,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40and with two correct answers, he's uncatchable,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Paul, sorry.- That's all right.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44But no maths there for you.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45No, I wasn't expecting any, to be honest.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48We needed an angle, we needed a compass or something like that.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Yeah.- So, you've been beaten by our Egghead.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56If you come back to us, we'll play the last round before the final.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00OK Andy, a thought, now.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03We may be in a difficult situation.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06It looks a bit sticky at the moment, but...
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- You've lost three.- Mm. - But you can win this.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11One of the last teams to win were down to one.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- We thrive under pressure, basically. - Yeah, exactly.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I just wanted to make sure you were still very much fighting.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Quarter Life Crisis have lost those three brains.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23The Eggheads are still all there,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25and the best thing is just to try and unsettle them
0:16:25 > 0:16:28by taking one out now. So, here's your chance.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29The subject, Arts & Books.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Who would like this?- OK, yeah, I think I'll take that one.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37OK, Andy, recruitment consultant, against either Pat or Barry.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Not an easy choice.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I think...I'd like to take Barry, please.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Andy, from Quarter Life Crisis, versus Barry,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47known as The Brain, from the Eggheads.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I'm reckoning you were waiting for history, Andy, were you?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That would have been good, too, yeah.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58That's your... I mean, probably, Barry's main subject, as well.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02But you went and taught English in Korea?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Yes, yeah, in a small island in between mainland Korea and Japan.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Very beautiful. - And what is it called?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10It's called Jeju Island.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Barry, I'm thinking that's your part of the world, you love to visit there.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17I do indeed and Jeju is a very beautiful island, well known for it.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's known, Andy, as the Hawaii of Asia, is that right?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23That's right, yeah, it's got a big kind of a volcanic centre
0:17:23 > 0:17:24and beaches around the outside,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27and they get really, really good weather and climate, very nice.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29So, why did you ever leave?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It's a very good question and one that I don't know the answer to.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33You were doing a year-off thing
0:17:33 > 0:17:35and I guess these things come to an end?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Yeah, exactly, yeah. It was a good year, a very, very good year,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41and then it was time to come back to the UK, I think.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45All right, all right. Well, good luck with all your doings here in the UK.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49And right now, you have got eyes on £15,000.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51So, let's see if we can get you in the final, and then who knows?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Arts & Books. Would you like to go first or second?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I would like to go first, please.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Andy, here's your first question.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Which of these writers was born first?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Ooh! I don't know Len Deighton.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I would guess that Ian Fleming was born before John Le Carre.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'm going to go with...
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Ian Fleming, please.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Ian Fleming is correct.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Barry, the novel Wuthering Heights
0:18:27 > 0:18:30is largely set in which part of the UK?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Well, Wuthering Heights is set in Yorkshire,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41and a very good friend of mine works for the Bronte Society,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44and she plays the part of a maid in the Parsonage,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46and when people come to be shown around,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48she tells them all stories of life in Haworth
0:18:48 > 0:18:50at the time of the Brontes.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Brilliant. Yorkshire's right.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Andy. Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg
0:18:55 > 0:18:58are characters from which series of fantasy books?
0:19:02 > 0:19:03I don't think it's Lord Of The Rings.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I haven't heard of Gormenghast.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09And I think Discworld has a lot of random stuff like that,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11so I'm going to guess Discworld, please.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Yeah, Terry Pratchett's Discworld is the right answer. Well done.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Two out of two. Over to you, Barry.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in which country?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Oh, Longfellow was renowned
0:19:26 > 0:19:29as one of the most famous American poets of the 19th century,
0:19:29 > 0:19:33so I'd be very surprised if he was born anywhere other than the USA.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36You are bang-on. USA is right. Well done.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38OK, Andy, back to you.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Which poet wrote the following lines?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43"So we'll go no more a roving
0:19:43 > 0:19:45"So late into the night
0:19:45 > 0:19:47"Though the heart be still as loving
0:19:47 > 0:19:50"And the moon be still as bright."
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Could you just read the lyrics one more time, please?- Yeah, yeah.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00So, it's poetry, and who wrote this?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02"So, we'll go no more a roving
0:20:02 > 0:20:03"So late into the night
0:20:03 > 0:20:06"Though the heart be still as loving
0:20:06 > 0:20:08"And the moon be still as bright."
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I mean, it sounds... quite romantic,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14so I would guess Byron, probably.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Yeah, I would guess Byron, please.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Yeah, Lord Byron is right.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Barry needs this to stay in.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Which dramatist and contemporary of Shakespeare
0:20:25 > 0:20:29is famously said to have referred to him as an upstart crow?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Well, I wouldn't have known this until fairly recently,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38but there was a wonderful television series
0:20:38 > 0:20:40about the life of Shakespeare,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42coined by that great author Ben Elton,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45and Upstart Crow was the name of the series,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47and the character that called Shakespeare an upstart crow
0:20:47 > 0:20:50was Robert Greene, so that's my answer.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Your answer is correct, well done, Barry. Robert Greene.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55So, three each. We go to Sudden Death, Andy.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58It might get a touch harder because I don't give you different options.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Which Belgian artist painted Olympia,
0:21:01 > 0:21:07which was stolen in 2009 but returned in 2012
0:21:07 > 0:21:10after the thieves were unable to sell it on the black market?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I don't think I could name a Belgian artist,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15so I'm probably in some trouble here.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Erm...
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Monet.- It's not Monet. It's actually quite hard
0:21:20 > 0:21:23because there's a number of different versions of Olympia.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I think Goya did one and then Manet did one.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31This one is a Belgian artist, and it is the fellow with the bowler hats.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Oh! I went to his exhibition in Brussels!
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Marguerite?- You're close. Rene Magritte.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Magritte, yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41We could just keep... That's quite a good new way of playing the game.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45I give you lots of clues, you gradually get there. So,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Barry can take the round with this question.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50In which novel by Arthur Conan Doyle
0:21:50 > 0:21:54are we first introduced to Mary Morstan
0:21:54 > 0:21:57who eventually marries Dr Watson?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Ah, now, we're looking at a Sherlock Holmes novel,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03and Conan Doyle only wrote four Sherlock Holmes novels,
0:22:03 > 0:22:04but which one was it?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07The first one was The Sign Of The Four,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10then there was The Hound Of The Baskervilles,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14and I'm struggling to remember the names of the other two.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15But I'm going to take an assumption
0:22:15 > 0:22:17that she appeared in the very first Sherlock Holmes novel
0:22:17 > 0:22:19and I'll go for The Sign Of The Four.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22OK. Now, I love Sherlock Holmes, and I'm, like you,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24thinking the other two... Was Study In Scarlet one of them?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Of course, yes, that's right, yeah. - But what was the fourth one?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Valley Of Fear. - The Valley Of Fear, says Steve.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31That's the one I can never remember.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Was The Sign Of Four the first one, Eggheads on the desk?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- No, Study In Scarlet. - Study In Scarlet was the first one.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Oh. Ah!
0:22:39 > 0:22:40The answer is The Sign Of Four,
0:22:40 > 0:22:44which can also be called The Sign Of The Four, Barry. Well done.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Oh, I got it by default!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Almost got it right by accident, there.- I'm so sorry about that!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51That's all right. There's been a lot of luck knocking around this round
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and Barry has just taken it there, Andy, sorry.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55- Ugh...- Beaten by our Egghead.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58So the skipper knocked out for the Challengers.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01They'll be up against it in the final, but they can win this money.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Please come back and you can give it a go.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07And this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09It is time for the final round.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:13 > 0:23:15won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19So, Andy, Sean, Jake and Paul from Quarter Life Crisis,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26OK, Ed, I know it was not supposed to end like this,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28but it hasn't ended yet.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32You're playing to win Quarter Life Crisis £15,000.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Dave, Pat, Beth, Steve, Barry,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:23:37 > 0:23:39the Eggheads' reputation and to keep this roll going.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45This time, they're all General Knowledge. You can confer,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48but I'm sorry, that doesn't really help you very much, Ed.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- No.- The big question here is this.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56Can you, with your one brain, defeat these five in a famous victory?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Let's hope.- You don't need to answer that, you've just got to answer
0:23:59 > 0:24:03the next three questions, maybe only two, to win the £15,000.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Would you like to go first or second, Ed?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Let's continue the trend and go first.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13And here is your question.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Which of these stage musicals is set in the UK?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Now, Carousel's the one with...
0:24:23 > 0:24:25You'll Never Walk Alone, isn't it?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I think...
0:24:27 > 0:24:29it will be that one. Please!
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Carousel.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Carousel. Where is that set, Eggheads?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- USA.- America.- USA.- Oh, no!
0:24:36 > 0:24:41It's obviously been adopted by Liverpool Football Club.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42A very close friend of mine
0:24:42 > 0:24:45is the grandson of the man who wrote Me And My Girl,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and that's Got The Lambeth Walk in and things like that.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50The Sun Has Got His Hat On. So, the answer is Me And My Girl.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Eggheads, your question.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54What is the meaning of the word "maudlin"?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Sentimental.- Sentimental? - Sentimental, of those, yeah.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I think that's sentimental...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05and not in a very good way.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Sentimental.- Sentimental's right. Is it like mawkish?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I never know whether they're almost the same word?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- I think there's a slightly negative edge to it, isn't there?- Yeah.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Maudlin.- Slightly sickly, sort of sickly sentimental.- Yeah.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20OK, over to you, Ed.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24The statue popularly known as Eros in London's Piccadilly Circus
0:25:24 > 0:25:28is actually a depiction of which other deity?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Em... Now...
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It's the little thing shooting the arrow, isn't it?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I think...
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Em...
0:25:43 > 0:25:45God I've walked past this so many times.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51It's not Bacchus, he's the fat wine-drinking one, right?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54So, I think it is between the other two.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I've never heard of Anteros.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I think...
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I'll go for Apollo, but it's a guess.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Apollo is your answer. Let's check with the Eggs. Eggs?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- ALL:- Anteros.- Oh! - Anteros is the answer.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Eggheads if you get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Your second question. 2016's All For One
0:26:15 > 0:26:18is the first new single to be released in over 20 years
0:26:18 > 0:26:20by which band?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Stone Roses.- Stone Roses? - Roses, definitely.- Is it?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Right, well, just take your time on this.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I don't think it's Happy Mondays.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Well, they haven't had one, have they?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Blur's been doing stuff continually.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Yeah, Blur have been released, fairly certain.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38They've a single, and an album which has come out,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41because they toured a couple of years...
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Well, they toured in 2014,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and then toured again in 2016,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48fairly certain that's the first new studio material
0:26:48 > 0:26:52the Stone Roses have got, if everybody's happy with that.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Yeah, definitely. - Fairly certain, yeah.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57We think that's the Stone Roses.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Stone Roses is your answer.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02If you're correct, there's no way back for our Challengers.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Ed, what do you think? Do you know this?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- They're right. - HE HUMS THE TUNE
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Oh, you know the song?!
0:27:09 > 0:27:11That's better than me!
0:27:11 > 0:27:13The answer is indeed Stone Roses.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Eggheads, we say congratulations. You have won.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Oh, commiserations, Ed! - Heartbreak! What can you do?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's hard when you haven't got anyone to talk to...
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Yeah.- ..I think, to compare stuff with...
0:27:29 > 0:27:31There we go. I hope you've enjoyed it?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Oh, it's been great! - Great seeing you.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36And some good, stout play in the early rounds,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38but they just were in the habit
0:27:38 > 0:27:41of using whatever bit of daylight they got, these Eggheads,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43they're in ferocious form at the moment.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Commiserations to our Challengers.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48This winning streak continues.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Will it ever end?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I'm afraid it means you're not going home with the £15,000,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Eggheads, well done.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Who on Earth will beat you?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Join us next time, to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:03 > 0:28:05have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08It's going to be £16,000 for them to win!
