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