0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are School of Steel.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Now, the majority of this team work together at the same secondary
0:00:39 > 0:00:41school in Sheffield. In the near future,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44they're planning to organise an event similar to Eggheads,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47where pupils take on teachers in general knowledge rounds,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50hoping to breed a new generation of quizzers.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm John, and I'm a cover supervisor.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Paul, and I'm a geography teacher.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Jonathan, and I'm a cover supervisor.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Ailsa, and I'm a personal assistant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Ian, and I'm an NHS administrator.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- So, John, team, welcome, great to see you. ALL:- Hi!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Are you looking forward to this? - Yes.- Absolutely.- And fascinating,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16this idea of trying to breed a new generation of quizzers?
0:01:16 > 0:01:17- Yeah.- Tell us about that, John.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Well, basically, we'd like to do the same set-up
0:01:20 > 0:01:22as you have here at Eggheads.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26And the students will actually take on us as a team, but we will be
0:01:26 > 0:01:27- the Eggheads.- OK.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Students will choose who they take on, in what categories,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33depending on the categories that come up.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And it's to earn points for their houses,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39as sports day and literature competitions
0:01:39 > 0:01:41all add points to their houses.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45The winning house will get the most points, etc, you know.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47So you've all got different duties at the school.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51So I'm guessing you've got different topics covered today, have you?
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Yeah, yeah, generally speaking,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55we're all sort of different topics.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I, you know, cover supervisor, and so is Jonathan,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02we tend to cover every subject, but we do have our stronger ones,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- obviously.- OK, you don't have to say,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06because they'll be on to it like a shot.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- OK, right.- Oh, they're sniffing around the whole time,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11trying to work out what their strategy should be.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13So, keep it close to your chest, if I was you.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Will the pupils be watching?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I'd imagine so. I'm sure...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Cheering you on? - I'm sure they'll be watching.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Good luck to you. Every day,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Now, School of Steel, the Eggheads have won the last 15 games.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38So they are playing really, really well.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Pat, you're doing the shoulder roll.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Watch the Gibson.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43OK! LAUGHTER
0:02:43 > 0:02:46That's the swagger, that's what we're seeing them play with at the moment.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50And in many ways it's good because it means there's a lot of money
0:02:50 > 0:02:51on the table. £16,000.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53However, as I say, they are playing well.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56And look at Pat's shoulders, that gives you the clue.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59There's a real sense of purpose about the Eggheads.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- So shall we go for it?- Yeah.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Let's go for it.- Good luck, team.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Sport.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Who would like this? Where's the sport teacher?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Who should we go for? - Ian.- Do you want it?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Do you want to go for Sport?- Yeah.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Ian.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18And which Egghead, Ian, would you like to take on?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19You can have any one of the five.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22You've got the two newest ones nearest me.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Up to you.- I'll take Beth, please, Jeremy.- OK, good stuff.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27So it's going to be Ian from School of Steel.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Beth, into action early on.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30- Yep.- That's good.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35would you please take your positions in our Question Room?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38So, Ian, you like your sport, do you?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Absolutely love it, yes.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41All right, so what in particular?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Big football fan.- Right.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Massive fan of Doncaster Rovers, if I can plug there!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Rugby league, cricket and anything else, really.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51You're Ailsa's partner, do you support the same team?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Unfortunately not!- Oh, dear, should I not have mentioned that?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57She supports a little team from up north called Sunderland.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- I don't know if you've heard of them. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I sense I'm on thin ice, so we'll crack on!
0:04:03 > 0:04:04OK, Sport, Ian.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Would you like to go first or second against Beth?- I'll go first, please.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And here is your first question.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15The first-ever Twenty20 cricket international
0:04:15 > 0:04:16took place in which year?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27It's been going quite a bit, so I think I can rule out 2015.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I'll go for 2005.
0:04:30 > 0:04:322005 is correct. Well done. It's easy to come
0:04:32 > 0:04:34unstuck on that first question, isn't it?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- It is.- OK, Beth, over to you.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38And I know you like your sport.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Roy Hodgson left his post as the manager of which football club when
0:04:42 > 0:04:45he was appointed England manager in 2012?
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Oh.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Roy Hodgson left which football club when he became manager of England?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I've got a feeling it was West Bromwich Albion.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06OK, West Bromwich Albion is the right answer.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Oh, phew!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10And back to you, Ian.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Which of these countries has hosted
0:05:12 > 0:05:15the summer Olympic Games on the most occasions?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I think...
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Netherlands have had it once, I think it was in Amsterdam.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Canada, I think, Montreal in '76.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I don't think they've had it more than that.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Australia have had it Sydney and Canberra,
0:05:36 > 0:05:37so I'll go for Australia.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Australia is the right answer.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Back to you, Beth, your second question.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47In April 2016, which boxer defeated Charles Martin
0:05:47 > 0:05:50to become the IBF world heavyweight champion?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well, this chap is local to me, he's a Watford boy,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01which is where I live.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Olympic gold medallist in 2012, Anthony Joshua.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05You're right, you're brilliant.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Anthony Joshua's correct, Beth, well done.
0:06:07 > 0:06:112-2. Tight round. Ian.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Between 1927 and 1946,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Joe Davis won the World Championships in which sport
0:06:17 > 0:06:20on 15 occasions?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I think it's the sport from close to where I live, and it's snooker.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Snooker is the right answer, well done.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Question to you, Beth.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Your third question to stay in.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Who has captained the Scotland rugby union team on more occasions than
0:06:39 > 0:06:41any other player?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Oh! I assume these were all captains,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52and I think Greig Laidlaw is the current Scotland captain.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Gavin Hastings was from when I first started watching rugby union.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00My dad's a big fan.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Andy Irvine...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I don't think Greig Laidlaw has been captain long enough to have done as
0:07:07 > 0:07:08many as Gavin Hastings.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Gavin Hastings.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Gavin Hastings is your answer.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Let's see if it's right.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Who knows this on the Eggheads side? Not an easy question.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23I'm inclined to go Greig Laidlaw, simply because...
0:07:23 > 0:07:25the captain in the 2010s,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28because I think he has been around a reasonable time.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I think with both Andy Irvine and Gavin Hastings,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34but there have been other people who have captained Scotland, such as
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Finlay Calder and David Sole in those days.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I'd be inclined to go Greig Laidlaw.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42So, third question. You've gone for Gavin Hastings.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- The correct answer is Greig Laidlaw. - Oh!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Beth, sorry, knocked out on that.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47The one you'd heard of there!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I'd heard of him and Gavin Hastings.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I just didn't think he'd been in the captaincy long enough.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Ian, well done, you're through to the final round,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58an advantage to our Challengers on a big day.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Playing for £16,000.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Please rejoin your teams.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Well done, Ian.- Thank you. - Good win for the Challengers.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09By the way, the Australian Olympics, you said Canberra and Sydney.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Melbourne.- Yeah, you're right. Melbourne...- '56.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Yeah, '56, bang on.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15'56 and then 2000 in Sydney.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17As it stands, School of Steel have
0:08:17 > 0:08:19not lost any brains from the final round.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22The Eggheads have lost Beth, and we play on,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and the next subject for you is Film & TV.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26So, whose street is this up?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Who feels confident?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Do you want me to do it? - Do you want to do it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Are you confident? - Go on, then, Ailsa.- Ailsa.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I'll try it, yeah, I'll take it.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38OK, good stuff, Ailsa. Choose any Egghead here.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I can't really advise you. They're all good.- Steve or Dave.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Steve or Dave?- Steve or Dave, I'd imagine.- You choose.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I'll take on Steve, please, Jeremy.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49All right, so you are going for the new ones here.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Ailsa from School of Steel will play Steve.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55To ensure there is no conferring, would you please take your positions?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58So, Ailsa, good luck here.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Film & TV. Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Can I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Here we go with your first question.
0:09:06 > 0:09:12Which long-running TV soap opera was created by Kevin Laffan?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I don't think it's EastEnders.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I don't think it's Coronation Street.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24That leaves Emmerdale. I'll go for Emmerdale.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26That's a very good use of elimination, because
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- you're absolutely right.- Yes!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Steve, over to you.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Who played the role of Randle P McMurphy in the 1975
0:09:34 > 0:09:37film One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Yeah, great film, got the Oscar for it. It's Jack Nicholson.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Jack Nicholson is correct, you're right.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Back to you, Ailsa.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54In which TV drama series does Emilia Clarke play the
0:09:54 > 0:09:57role of Daenerys Targaryen?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Can you spell her name, please, Jeremy?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Yeah. It's a bit odd.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07D-A-E-N-E-R-Y-S.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10And then T-A-R-G-A-R-Y-E-N.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14The name is a very unusual one.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I can't imagine it being in Homeland or The Bridge.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22The Bridge sounds more Scandinavian, in fact it is more Scandinavian.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'd go for Game Of Thrones.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Yeah, again, good play. Game Of Thrones it is.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28OK, Steve.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31The 1950 film Sunset Boulevard is set in which city?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Well, I've seen the film, but it was some time ago,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40and I'm struggling to remember, to be fair.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44But simply because, and it could be completely skewed logic,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46it's all to do with the film industry...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50..I would go Los Angeles.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53You're right. Los Angeles.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57So you're level. Third question to you, Ailsa.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Which of these films won the most Oscars?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I have only seen one of those films.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Absolutely brilliant, it is.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It's between two.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22I would say either Star Wars: A New Hope or The Shawshank Redemption.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Um... Admittedly, Tarantino directed Pulp Fiction.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I would go for...
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- ..Star Wars.- You're a really good quizzer.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Star Wars: A New Hope is the right answer.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Yes! Excellent.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- Thank you.- And now you're on the edge of the precipice, Steve.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Your fingernails digging into the earth.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Who provides the voice for Baloo in the 2016 film version of
0:11:52 > 0:11:54The Jungle Book?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Bill Murray.- You know that?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Yeah, I've seen it. - You didn't even have to think?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- No.- You just said the name. - Yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Bill Murray is right.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Three questions each, the scores are level.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11So, he's a bit harder to shake off, Ailsa, here.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Isn't he just?- Isn't he just?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17He's very good. And we go to Sudden Death.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I don't give you alternative options. Here's your question.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Which BBC TV drama series about a police department
0:12:23 > 0:12:25set up to solve old crimes
0:12:25 > 0:12:28and consisting of three retired detectives
0:12:28 > 0:12:34under a female superintendent was first seen as a pilot in 2003?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36That would be an excellent TV show.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37It's New Tricks.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40New Tricks is right.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Yes.- Steve, your question.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45To stay in. Sudden Death we're on.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Who composed the TV theme tunes for Crossroads,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Sports Night and Emmerdale among others?
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Right. The only one I've got anything to go on is Crossroads,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58bizarrely enough.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00And I think it was Tony Hatch.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Ailsa, you think he's right?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- I think he might well be. - Tony Hatch is correct.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08We're on Sudden Death. £16,000 to win today, and we're back to you,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Ailsa. I'm just sensing this is a really big moment
0:13:11 > 0:13:12in the contest here.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16If you can dislodge an Egghead, who knows?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Which children's TV programme is set under the ocean and features the
0:13:20 > 0:13:24characters Kwazii, Captain Barnacles and Peso?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Oh, this is a tough one.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28I don't have children.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Under The Sea. I really don't know.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- I'm sorry.- Do you know this, Steve? - Is it The Octonauts?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Octonauts is the answer.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- I've never heard of it.- Steve has the chance to take the round here
0:13:39 > 0:13:42with this question. Which British actor was cast as
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Sherlock Holmes in the New York-based drama Elementary?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Oh, what's his name?
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Jonny Lee Miller.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- Is he right, Eggheads?- Spot on.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Spot on, Jonny Lee Miller it is.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You've won on Sudden Death. Sorry, Ailsa.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04You let him in there, and so Steve has evened it up.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Do return to us, and rejoin your teams.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08We'll see what happens next.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11OK, so the Eggheads have pulled one back here.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14School of Steel have lost a brain from the final round.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16The Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Completely level, very exciting.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21The next subject is Politics.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Who would like this?- Paul, do you want to go Politics?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Shall I go for it?- I think you should go for it.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- OK, Paul?- Yes, I'll go for it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Geography teacher. Paul against whom?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You're saying I should take Dave?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36It looks like I'm going for Dave, thank you.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38OK. That sounds a bit reluctant.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39THEY LAUGH
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Paul from School of Steel versus the steel man from the Eggheads,
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48To ensure there is no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51So, here we are. Paul against Dave.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Paul, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:53 > 0:14:54I'll go first, thanks.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Paul, good luck to you.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Which country, with over 850 million potential voters,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05is the world's largest democracy?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Well, Russia's population has actually decreased over the past...
0:15:12 > 0:15:16since 1991. The USA has got 350 million people.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19India has got 1.2 billion,
0:15:19 > 0:15:23of which 850 million, I guess, are voting age.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25So it's India.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26It's almost a geography question, isn't it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- It is.- India is the right answer.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Dave, your question. From 1988 to 1999,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35who was the leader of the Liberal Democrats?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I think it's...
0:15:43 > 0:15:47too early for Charles Kennedy, too late for Roy Jenkins.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I think it was Paddy Ashdown.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Paddy Ashdown, now Lord Ashdown, is right.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Well done. OK, back to you on Politics, Paul.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Which political figure has been married to women named Jane Chapman,
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Claudia Bracchitta and Laura Alvarez?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Well, I'm pretty sure it's not Jeremy Corbyn.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I'll go for Boris Johnson.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's not Boris Johnson. It is actually Jeremy Corbyn.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Oh, wow.- So, there we are.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Dave, your question to take the lead.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24In which year was Hillary Clinton born?
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Right. I believe she's 69, so let me work that out!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Let me do my maths.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Yeah. I think her husband was born in 1946.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I think she was born in 1947.
0:16:43 > 0:16:461947 is right, Dave, well done.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48OK, Paul, back to you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50You need to get this right to stay in.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Which 20th-century British Prime Minister was known by the nickname
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Pretty Fanny?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, I'm afraid to say I don't really have a clue on this one.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Um... Pretty Fanny...
0:17:08 > 0:17:13..doesn't seem to go with Winston Churchill's gruff...
0:17:13 > 0:17:15exterior.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- I'll go for Stanley Baldwin. - Stanley Baldwin.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Any Eggheads know this? - It's such a bizarre name,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26you might be well advised to go as far back in time as you could.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I was wondering whether you would...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- So, who is the oldest Prime Minister there?- Balfour.- Balfour.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34It's obviously not a name that would be used these days,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37and I guess you could rule out Winston Churchill because we must
0:17:37 > 0:17:40know surely all of his nicknames quite well.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42So if you're left with Baldwin and Balfour,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44the only bit of logic the Eggs are applying here, Paul,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47is that it's a nickname from a different time,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49so you go a long way back,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52and you do go to Arthur Balfour, that is the right answer.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Sorry, Dave has taken the round.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Well done, Dave. The Eggheads starting to assert themselves,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58but they are playing well generally at the moment.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Come back to us, rejoin your teams,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07So, as it stands, School of Steel have lost two brains from the final
0:18:07 > 0:18:09round, the Eggheads have lost one.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11You can hear them revving the engines now.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13You've got to stop it, pull out the...
0:18:13 > 0:18:15What, the cylinder? What would it be, Steve?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I'd just put my foot on the brake!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Put your foot on the brakes.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21There we are. The next subject... Oh, here we go.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- The next subject is Geography.- Oh!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26How does that always happen?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28We have used our Geography player in the last round.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- So, who wants this?- Got to be you.- You've got to take it.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33That'll be me, please, Jeremy.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35OK, John, on Geography, against which Egghead?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38You can either have Pat or Lisa.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'll go up against Lisa, please.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42If you go like that, you will be chosen.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- It will happen.- I literally have nightmares that start like this.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49We'll see. She may just be saying that as a cover.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51John from School of Steel, Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53please go to the Question Room now.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Well, John, Lisa has showed her hand very slightly on Geography.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59It's not her favourite subject.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11Here we go. What type of environment are the Florida Everglades?
0:19:14 > 0:19:20Well, thinking of Florida, you think of a swampland,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23so it might be the obvious one, but I'll go for it anyway.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Swamp, please. - Swamp is quite right, yes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Lisa...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32What is the capital city of Belarus?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Let's show off all the geography I know.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Zagreb's Croatia, Belgrade is Serbia, but Belarus is Minsk.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Those are your three geography facts, are they?- That was it!
0:19:44 > 0:19:46JEREMY LAUGHS You've run out now.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Afraid so.- Minsk is right.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Back to you, John, team captain.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Which of these rivers is the longest?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Oh, that's a good one.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Oh! It could be any of them.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I was hoping the obvious one would come up. But it's not.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I'll go for the Rhine, please, Jeremy.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Let's see if your team-mates know. Is this right?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Ah, Paul, the geography teacher?
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Well, the Ganges drains from upwards of northern India,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24it's an extremely long river.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27The Ganges is, and this is the technical term,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29an extremely long river? LAUGHTER
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Ganges is the right answer, actually, John.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Sorry.- That's OK.- So, Lisa...
0:20:35 > 0:20:38The town of Winchelsea is located near the coast
0:20:38 > 0:20:40of which English county?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Winchelsea?- Yes.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51See, I had an idea it was sort of south, south-east.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54My first thought was Hampshire, it is probably good that hasn't
0:20:54 > 0:20:57come up. I don't think it's Cornwall.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I think it's East Sussex.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02East Sussex is right. Woohoo!
0:21:02 > 0:21:06So, she has taken the lead there, John.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- OK.- And this thing of Lisa not knowing geography,
0:21:09 > 0:21:10sometimes she can surprise.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14At many levels, but also on that one.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17John, you need to get this right.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20What is the name of the rocky outpost in the Shetland Isles
0:21:20 > 0:21:24that is the northernmost point in the UK?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Well, to give my excuses, I'm from Galashiels originally,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37one of the most southern towns in Scotland.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42So, this would have to be,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46again, just sort of a guess, I'm afraid, Jeremy.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49But I'll go for Rockall, please.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Rockall. Your team? What do your team think?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53They like this? Yeah, they all like it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- It is wrong.- Oh!
0:21:56 > 0:21:58The answer... Let's just see.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Eggheads, do you know this?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Beth, you used to live up there. - I used to live in Orkney.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05In Orkney. So, help us out.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07We all think it's Out Stack.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Out Stack is the answer, John.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13And therefore, Lisa, you have won on Geography.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- No, you're not dreaming! - That's good.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I don't have to look down and check I'm not in my pants.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19JEREMY LAUGHS
0:22:19 > 0:22:21So, you will be in the final round.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24In fact, Lisa and John, if you come back to us now,
0:22:24 > 0:22:25we will play that final.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It is time for our final round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32As always, General Knowledge.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34But, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:34 > 0:22:36can't take part in this round. So, John,
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Paul and Ailsa from School of Steel, and Beth from the Eggheads,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Jonathan and Ian, you are now playing to win School of Steel £16,000.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Lisa, Dave, Pat, Steve,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54you're playing for something that money cannot buy,
0:22:54 > 0:22:55the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00They're all General Knowledge.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Gentlemen, you can confer.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05So, School of Steel, the question is,
0:23:05 > 0:23:10can your two brains now defeat these four and win £16,000?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12You may be just three questions away.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Wish you all the best, Jonathan and Ian.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Keep it focused. And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18We'd like to go first, please.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23All right. So your first question is this.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Who played the role of Frank Spencer in the TV comedy series
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em? - (Crawford.)
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Michael Crawford?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Ian seems pretty sure it's Michael Crawford,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41so we'll go for Michael Crawford, please.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I think Ian and I are roughly the same generation,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45so we watched a lot of this, didn't we?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Michael Crawford is correct.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49First question to you, Eggheads.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52In which year was the astronaut Tim Peake born?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'd go '72.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I had an idea he was early to mid 40s so, yeah,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04that would sort of put is in the right sort of place.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Let's have a think.- He went up in 2016.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08- Yeah.- So how old was he...?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I think he was early mid 40s at that point.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- His kids are very young. - All other things being equal,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17they don't tend to put older astronauts into space, do they?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Yeah, but there's no...- John Glenn was an exception.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21There is no... But the thing is there,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23obviously he'd served his time.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27He was training about, what, six, seven years, weren't he,
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- before he went up?- I think 30s and 40s are the key years.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Yeah.- And he doesn't look, you know...
0:24:34 > 0:24:37You'd have to push him out to mid 50s, wouldn't you?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- He didn't look like that.- I'm swung by the fact, I think his
0:24:40 > 0:24:42kids are both under ten.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Right, so that's a good bit of information, isn't it?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I think we can start talking ourselves out of
0:24:48 > 0:24:50a right bit of logic here.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52We think he was 44 when he went up?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- Yeah.- And that's 1972?- '72.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- He looks...- Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59- Yeah, definitely. - We're not certain of this,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03but we suspect it should be 1972.
0:25:03 > 0:25:051972 is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Well done. It's easy to go...
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Come unstuck on the simple ones like that.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12All right. School of Steel,
0:25:12 > 0:25:17which darts player won his second PDC world title in 2016?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25It's not Deller, because he was 1980s.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29It's either Anderson or Part.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30I think...
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- I don't know.- If it's down to me, I would say John Part.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37John Part?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40We'd like to go... Fingers crossed. ..John Part, please.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I think Dave will know this.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44It's Gary Anderson.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Gary Anderson is the answer.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51So, the Eggheads can take advantage of that with this question.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52In the US education system,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56what name is usually given to the guarantee of permanent employment
0:25:56 > 0:26:00that valued lecturers can be granted by a university or college?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Tenure.- Tenure, I think.- Tenure. I've heard tenure.- Yeah.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Tenure.- Incumbency is a more general term.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- Yeah, that's more a...- And tenancy is just to do with a property.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- I think it's tenure. - We think that's tenure.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Tenure is correct.
0:26:20 > 0:26:232-1. You must get this one right.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Your third question. Get it right, keep the contest going.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Get it wrong, it's over.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32In which year was the Automobile Association founded in the UK?
0:26:40 > 0:26:45I think it was the first one of the recovery services so, on that basis,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48it would be 1905, I think.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50OK, 1905, please, Jeremy.
0:26:50 > 0:26:531905 is the right answer.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well played, Ian.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Well played. OK.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58So, two out of three.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01We've got to hope now they get this one wrong, OK?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04And then we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10Eggheads, what was the profession of the former Tory MP Norman Tebbit
0:27:10 > 0:27:12before he entered politics?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Airline pilot.- Airline pilot? - Definitely.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Airline pilot.- A trade unionist as well.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Yeah, he was, yeah. That was ironic, wasn't it?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Any room for mistakes?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26No. It's airline pilot, without a shadow of a doubt.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29We think that Norman Tebbit was an airline pilot.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I do remember he wrote an autobiography
0:27:32 > 0:27:36called Upwardly Mobile, which is probably a clue.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38The answer is airline pilot.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.- Well played.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Well played, lads.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It was the darts! And actually, Ian, you're the sports guy.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- That's my weakest sport, I'm afraid. - Is it really? Yeah.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- Had to pick that one.- It's one where you're either completely focused on
0:27:55 > 0:27:58it or know very little, I find, because I'm in the latter category.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Yeah. You had a good pop at them, though.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03You really did. And they are on very good form at the moment.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Many have passed this way at the moment.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09And it's hard to beat them, very hard.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Commiserations to School of Steel.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15The Eggheads have done what comes naturally, we can really say that
0:28:15 > 0:28:18now, this winning streak continues. It is truly impressive.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21It means that you are not going home with the £16,000.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23We'll take the money, we'll roll it over to our next show,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26and it will be even more dramatic, Eggheads.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Who is going to take you down?
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I don't know if it's going to happen.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers can take them on
0:28:33 > 0:28:38and defeat them. £17,000 right here for them to win.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Until we play again, goodbye.
