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 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:28 > 0:00:31against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Feeling feisty?
0:00:34 > 0:00:35- ALL:- Yes. Ready to go.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I sense that.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Well, challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:40 > 0:00:43are the Smithdown Five. Now, this team all met
0:00:43 > 0:00:45while studying at the University of Liverpool
0:00:45 > 0:00:46and reunite, when they can,
0:00:46 > 0:00:51to attend the quiz at The Burnt Post pub in Coventry. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Sri. I'm a phlebotomist.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Al, I'm a maths teacher.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, my name's Joe, and I'm an internal auditor.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Tom and I work in investment management.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Graham and I'm a maths teacher.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, Sri and team, welcome.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Great to see you. You feeling good about this, Sri?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Yeah, I'm quietly confident.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13So, you met in Liverpool, but you reunite for the quiz in Coventry.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14- How's that?- Basically,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17three of the people that we know and went to university with,
0:01:17 > 0:01:18they live in Coventry.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Well, Al and Joe do, that's our main hub and we always try and meet up.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Oh, so you've done that thing where you all go to the same university
0:01:24 > 0:01:25and then you just spread out around the country?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Yeah.- Right - but you keep in touch.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- It's easier these days. - Yeah, WhatsApp, weddings...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Stuff like that.- WhatsApp - Judith, are you on WhatsApp?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Yes, funnily enough.- Are you?!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36LAUGHTER
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- So it's finally arrived.- Yeah!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Good luck against the Eggheads. - Thank you.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:42 > 0:01:46for our Challengers - however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52So, Smithdown Five, the Eggheads have won the last 16 games.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54So there's good and bad there, they are on a roll,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56but you get money if you stop it.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00£17,000, in fact, which is on the table today.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Do you want to get cracking?- Yeah.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Ready to go. - I'm sensing hunger here.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06LAUGHTER
0:02:06 > 0:02:09The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music -
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and just to say, you've got Judith, Dave, Kevin,
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Barry and Lisa to choose from.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Judith?- OK, yeah.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20It's me and I'd like to go against Judith, please.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Joe from the Smithdown Five versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24To ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Joe, good luck on Music.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Thank you.- And just tell me why you're called the Smithdown Five?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37So, we all went to university in Liverpool,
0:02:37 > 0:02:42and Smithdown Road is the road which we all lived off.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46We lived all together but not at the same time, if you know what I mean.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48No!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50LAUGHTER
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- What am I trying to say? We've all lived...- There's a road...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55What, there's a road called Smithdown?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- Yeah.- And you've all had something to do with it?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Well, we all lived on a road off Smithdown Road.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01- Off it?- Yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I see. So you didn't live on it at all?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06No, there isn't any houses on it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Oh, I see.- But there's lots of roads that go off it.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Have you ever lived on Smithdown Road, Judith?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13No, I'm completely baffled by Smithdown...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15It's a very mysterious way to begin, actually.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Anyway, it doesn't have houses on it.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19No, but this could be quite deliberate.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23He's taking you into the world of confusion here.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- It's definitely not... - I don't know what you're doing, Joe,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27but I can tell it's working already.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Can you see the look on Judith's face?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31All right, Music -
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- and, Joe, would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40OK, here is your first question. Good luck.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42"Well, since my baby left me,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46"I've found a new place to dwell" are the opening lines
0:03:46 > 0:03:48to which Elvis Presley song?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Well, I've definitely heard of the song, but I can't...
0:03:58 > 0:04:00..put my finger on it.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I think I'll go for Heartbreak Hotel, please.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Let's see what your team think. Is he right?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Yeah.- Yes, yes, you've got it right, well done.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Were you tempted by Jailhouse Rock?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I was just trying to lull Judith into a false sense of security.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16LAUGHTER
0:04:16 > 0:04:17You've got to sing it now, Judith.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Somebody has to. - Oh, well, Lisa can.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Go on, Lisa. - I was going to defer to you,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- because you're the one with the best Elvis voice.- Well, it's...
0:04:24 > 0:04:27IMITATES ELVIS: # Well, since my baby left me
0:04:27 > 0:04:28# I've found a new place to dwell
0:04:28 > 0:04:31# It's down at the end of Lonely Street...
0:04:31 > 0:04:33# Heartbreak Hotel... #
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Thank you!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38OK. Judith, your question.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Whose acceptance speech for an MTV Best Female Video award in 2009
0:04:43 > 0:04:46was famously interrupted by Kanye West?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Erm...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I can't remember this event.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I'm going to say Katy Perry.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Oh, I bet you know this, Joe.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00- Yeah.- Go on, tell me.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It's my namesake, Taylor Swift.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Yes, it is, yeah.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Because you're Joe Taylor. I was going to say, he's not Joe Swift,
0:05:08 > 0:05:09he is Joe Taylor.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13So, it was Taylor Swift, and it was all very embarrassing.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I think he came up on stage and what did he say?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Dave, you'll know. He was saying this should have been Beyonce.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Yes, yes, that's basically what he did, yes.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Joe.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27In which of these venues would you find a 9,999-pipe organ
0:05:27 > 0:05:31described as the voice of Jupiter?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Um... Not sure.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Trying to discount some of the others, but...
0:05:46 > 0:05:50..I think I'm going to go for the Royal Albert Hall, please.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Do you know this, Judith?- Well, I don't think it's the Opera House,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55because I don't think that has an organ -
0:05:55 > 0:05:58and the Royal Albert Hall is the biggest.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Yeah, it is the Royal Albert Hall, well done.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01It's there on display.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Amazing. If you ever go there, yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06OK, Judith. In a traditional drum kit,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09which of these is another name for a bass drum?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14- For a bass drum?- Bass drum.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Oh, Lordy. I should think...
0:06:19 > 0:06:23..the one that sounds most likely and the deepest is punch.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26OK, have you ever played the drums?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28No. I know you have, though.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I do, well, I used to, yeah -
0:06:30 > 0:06:33but the bass drum, do you know where it is in the drum kit?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- On the bottom, I suppose. - And what do you do when you...
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I mean, which part of your body do you...
0:06:38 > 0:06:40You kick it, probably. Oh, damn it,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42yes, of course you do, with your foot.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44You do, with your foot. I'm so sorry.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Kick drum, Judith - and I think you're going home.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Yes.- You're going to be in the sin bin.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Well done to our Challengers - what about that?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57And that thing about the Smithdown Road was brilliant.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- No-one's ever done that before. - Very eloquently put!
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Totally threw her.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Maybe it'll stop them getting any questions right at all...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07..in the contest. So Joe, you're in the final, Judith, you are not.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Please return to the studio.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Well done, Challengers.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14The Smithdown Five have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16This is looking good now. We are playing for £17,000.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20The Eggheads have lost Judith, which can be crucial in the final.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23The next subject for you guys is Science.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Who would like Science?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Do you want to take it, or should I?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- You take it, you take it. - You're good at science.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Yeah?- You take it, Tom.- OK.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37OK. I'll take science, please, Jeremy.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39OK. Tom, our investment manager -
0:07:39 > 0:07:42and who would you like to disinvest in?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Any one of those four on the left.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I think I'll go for Dave, please.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Tom, from the Smithdown Five, versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51from the Eggheads, on Science.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Please go to the Question Room.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57So how come you are doing science, here, Tom?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Actually, science is not my forte.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It would have been Joe's subject, but he's already won Music,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- so now it's on to me.- So were waiting for Sport or something else?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Food & Drink would have been my specialty, actually.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I do chef quite a bit, actually, so I do enjoy cooking.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Oh, that's nice. Any particular kind of world cooking?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Well, my wife's Mexican, so I do enjoy Mexican cuisine particularly -
0:08:19 > 0:08:21but, yes, all sorts, all sorts.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23We should get him to stay, shouldn't we, Dave?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Absolutely. No, Mexican food's good for me.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Same for you on Science. It wouldn't be your choice, Dave, would it?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's just how the questions fall, really.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33So we'll just see how it goes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35OK. So, Tom, you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I think I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Good luck, Tom. Which of these is a chemical element with the symbol Li?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48That is a big L and a small I.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Is it...
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'm pretty sure it's lithium, Jeremy.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55It is lithium.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56That's right.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59OK. Dave, your question.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Which inert gas is the third most abundant element
0:09:03 > 0:09:06in Earth's atmosphere after nitrogen and oxygen?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Right.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I don't think it's chlorine, I don't think it's argon.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I think it's helium.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Barry's... It looks like Barry's physically been attacked.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23His expression. What happened, Barry?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Well, it's 1% of the atmosphere, so it's argon.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Argon.- Oh, I didn't think so.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Sorry. A blurt.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Because if it was helium, we'd all be laughing all the time.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Yeah, we would be! - We're not laughing now.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Yeah, you're not laughing now, Barry says.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43OK. Tom, if you get this right, you're in a good position.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49Which characteristic best describes the dinosaurs known as hadrosaurs?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Hadrosaurs are not a dinosaur I am familiar with.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04I think I'll go for two-horned, please, Jeremy.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Yeah, what do you think, Barry, or Kevin?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09They didn't quack, but they were duck-billed.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Yeah, it was duck-billed.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15First sign of trouble on the Challengers' side.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Get this to draw level.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Dave, what name have US researchers given
0:10:21 > 0:10:23to the theoretical Neptune-sized object
0:10:23 > 0:10:26that may lie deep in the solar system?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Well. I've not heard of this.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Not having a good day today.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Have to go Planet X, but with no real certainty at all.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Planet X is the right answer.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Tom, get this right to keep control.
0:10:49 > 0:10:55The Frenchman Evariste Galois, who died in a duel in 1832 aged 20,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58became famous for his contribution in which field?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Galois. Could you spell the surname, please?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Yes. G-A-L-O-I-S.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm leaning towards astronomy.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I think I'll go astronomy, please, Jeremy.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Astronomy. Any Eggheads know this?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Mathematics. - Mathematics, apparently, Tom.- Oh.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Dave, your question. Which of these Australian marsupials
0:11:23 > 0:11:26is sometimes called the native cat?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33And I can do them all in an Australian accent, if you want.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Right. The native cat?- Native cat.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40I'm not going to go bandicoot.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44I'm going to go dunnart, please.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: It's not a dunnart, fella.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50- It's a quoll.- OK.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52OK. All right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54You just stayed in there, Tom.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56That's quite good, actually.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57It's been a rough old round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00OK, Tom, it gets a bit harder now.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03We go to Sudden Death. I don't give you alternatives.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Here we go. Formed in 1788 and based in London,
0:12:07 > 0:12:13what is the name of the world's oldest active biological society?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16It's tricky without the options, Jeremy.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20But I think it might be the Francis Crick Institute.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24No. I wonder whether he's after 1788.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- The Linnean Society.- OK.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Named after the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Right.- OK, Dave, Sudden Death.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34You can take it with this answer.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Which Oxford college is named after one of the first female members
0:12:38 > 0:12:41of the Royal Astronomical Society?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- This for the round. - Yeah, I know, I know.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Just trying to think who it is.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Not going to get there at all.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I should know this. Margaret Hall.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53But I'm not going to get there.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Margaret Hall. - Do you know this, Tom,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57because I know you're based in Oxford.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58I do live in Oxford,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00but, unfortunately, I do not know the answer.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01OK. Somerville.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03After Mary Somerville.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Tom, your question.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08What spider of the genus Latrodectus,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12famous for its distinctive abdominal markings,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16is often said to be North America's most venomous arachnid?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I think I'll go for black widow.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Black widow's right.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Dave, your question to stay in.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Yes.- Which type of algebra,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26basic to the design of digital computer circuits,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30takes its name from an English mathematician born in 1815?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Right, this is going to be a difficult one.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37All I can think of is...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42How do I pronounce this?
0:13:42 > 0:13:46I can't think it's Babbage algebra.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I've just got to go Babbage algebra.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Because that's all I can think of.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Babbage algebra. - Who knows on the Eggheads' side?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- George Boole. Boolean. - Yeah. Boolean is the answer, Dave.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59You've been knocked out. Well done, Challengers.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01You're in the final, Tom.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Please return to us and we'll play on.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So our Challengers have not lost any brains from the final round,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09the Eggheads have lost two,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11and the next subject is Politics.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Who would like this? - I'm going to take it
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- and I'm going to play Lisa, please. - So, Sri against...?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Lisa.- Lisa. Who knows her prime ministers, I think.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20And precious little else.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22To ensure there's no conferring,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27OK, so Politics for the team captain.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Sri, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Good luck against our Lisa -
0:14:36 > 0:14:40and here we go. What term to describe supporters of Jeremy Corbyn
0:14:40 > 0:14:43has become popular in the UK national press?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I think it's Corbynistas.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It is the Corbynistas. Well done, yeah.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I suppose... I guess this is some sort of idea
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- that they are a bit like the Che Guevara...- Sandinistas.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Sandinistas.- Yes.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Lisa Thiel.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08In 2015, to what did David Cameron compare terms in office,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11saying two are wonderful, three might just be too many?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16SHE CHUCKLES
0:15:18 > 0:15:21This passed me by...
0:15:21 > 0:15:24..and to the best of my knowledge he's only been married the once,
0:15:24 > 0:15:25so we'll go with pints of beer.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Sri?- It's a type of cereal, I think.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Weetabix. - It is a type of cereal, Sri.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30It's not Weetabix. Shredded Wheat.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Oh, right, yeah.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Lisa. That idea that...
0:15:33 > 0:15:36If I'd had the brand name, I might have got there.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39OK, so something... I don't know what's happening to the Eggheads,
0:15:39 > 0:15:43but it's as if the circuitry is scorched or blown.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Something has happened here.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46So, Sri, take advantage,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48because you're playing really well, your team.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Here's your question. Which former Mayor of New York City
0:15:52 > 0:15:56declined the annual salary, choosing instead to be paid 1 annually?
0:16:01 > 0:16:02It's Michael Bloomberg.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04It is Michael Bloomberg, you're quite right.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10OK, your question. Lisa, under the original Scotland Act of 1998,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Holyrood was given the power to vary the income tax rate
0:16:14 > 0:16:17by how many pence in the pound?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I don't know. 13 seems like an awful lot,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26because that's going to be a fairly hefty swing either way.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32I don't know. Maybe Scotland have this power to swing it hugely
0:16:32 > 0:16:35and just haven't done it, but I'll go with three.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36- Three is right.- Oh, good.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Well done. So you have got a point, there, suddenly.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Oh, the Eggheads roaring through now -
0:16:42 > 0:16:45but, Sri, get this right, you're in the final round.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Which British Prime Minister was nicknamed the Mongoose?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I think it's between Disraeli and Palmerston.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I'm going to go Disraeli.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Lisa?- I thought it was Disraeli.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03No, it's Palmerston.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06So you have got it wrong.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08So, Lisa, if you get this right, you're still in it.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11If not, we know what happens.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Robert Rubin served as the
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Secretary of the Treasury
0:17:15 > 0:17:18in the administration of which US President?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24No, I'm not connecting anything up with that.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26That's bad.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Robert Rubin. Now, do I go slightly further back
0:17:29 > 0:17:33on the basis I might have been more likely to hear of him
0:17:33 > 0:17:36if he was Clinton administration,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38or do I not?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Yeah, I'm really struggling to just grasp at anything
0:17:42 > 0:17:44that will give me any sort of punt on this.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Let's go for George HW Bush.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52It's not George HW Bush, it's actually Bill Clinton.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- OK.- And that means, Sri, you've done it.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Another of our Smithdown Five in the final.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01It's getting exciting, this, Lisa.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Well, it depends who's side of the table you're sitting on, Jeremy.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Let's see, are the Eggheads going to have one in the final?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10We shall see. Come back and we will play the last round
0:18:10 > 0:18:12before the final.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Well, this is looking really good for our Challengers now.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18The Smithdown Five have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I'm sorry, Eggheads, you've lost three!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23And you've still got one more round to go before the final,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and it's on Sport. Now, is that good?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27- Yes.- It is good, isn't it?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- That's the right answer. - That's what we needed.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Is that you, Al?- I'll take Sport.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Fantastic. You can go against either Barry or Kevin.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Try, try...- Go for it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Can I take Kevin on, please, Jeremy?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43You may indeed, yes. Great sort of sounding confident voice, there,
0:18:43 > 0:18:44from Al, from the Smithdown Five.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47He will take on the legendary Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Please go to the Question Room for the last time.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Al, you like your sport, I know.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- I do enjoy sport. - And you're a maths teacher?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- I am, yeah. - What sort of sports do you do
0:18:59 > 0:19:00when you're not teaching maths?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I play a bit of football, I like to do triathlons,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05quite a lot of running.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I do the well-known Parkrun, stuff like that.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Kevin, on Sport - I think you're good on Sport, Kevin,
0:19:10 > 0:19:11but you don't do Sport very often.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13No, that's probably fair to say.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14I mean, I do it sometimes,
0:19:14 > 0:19:18but it doesn't tend to come round for me that often.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22I'm OK. I'm currently a little bit rusty, though, I have to say.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Again, it's sounding good, Al,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25but you have to press the advantage here.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Can I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34OK, you're playing for £17,000.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37If you all get into the final, you've got a lot of firepower.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Here is your first question.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41What is the maximum number of golf clubs
0:19:41 > 0:19:44that a player is permitted to carry in his or her bag
0:19:44 > 0:19:46during a round of professional golf?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Well, I'm pretty sure it's not eight.
0:19:53 > 0:19:5525 seems like quite a lot to carry.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I'm going to go 14, please.
0:19:57 > 0:19:5914 is the right answer.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Well done. It's an easy one to trip up on, that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Kevin, which phrase is normally used
0:20:05 > 0:20:08to advise darts players and the crowd
0:20:08 > 0:20:10that a match has started?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Well, bully off is a term that's used,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19or used to be used, anyway, in field hockey.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Is that used for...darts, as well?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I don't think it's throw away.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I don't recall ever hearing that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I think the logical one to me,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35because I associate bully off with hockey...
0:20:35 > 0:20:37..is game on - but I'm just having a...
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Yeah, I will say game on.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Game on is quite right.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46So, one each.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50OK, Al, what cricketing term is used to describe a delivery bowled
0:20:50 > 0:20:52that has no runs scored from it?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'm pretty sure it's dot ball, Jeremy.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Yeah, no hesitation, you're right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07You've got two right. Dot ball.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Kevin, for which of these, during a match at Wimbledon in 2016,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12was tennis player Pablo Cuevas fined?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21No, that's an incident that passed me by, I'm afraid.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27I'll try the sit down protest, but I have no confidence whatsoever.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28I just don't know.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Yeah, you're right, Kevin.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Sit down protest. 2-2.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Third question, Al.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37The opening stage of the 2016 Tour de France
0:21:37 > 0:21:40began at which famous landmark?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45OK, I'm edging towards...
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I don't know this one. I should do, because I watched the whole thing,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51but I'm edging towards...
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Out of the Mont Saint Michel and Pont du Gard,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'm edging towards the Pont du Gard.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58I'll take the Pont du Gard.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I'm afraid it's wrong.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02It's Mont Saint Michel.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Mont Saint Michel is the right answer, so Kevin has a chance now.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09What is the name of the German football team
0:22:09 > 0:22:11wholly owned by the car company Volkswagen,
0:22:11 > 0:22:16that won its first Bundesliga championship in 2009?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23It's one of those teams, there are two or three of them, now,
0:22:23 > 0:22:27in the German First Division that have been quite controversial
0:22:27 > 0:22:29with a lot of the fan-owned clubs
0:22:29 > 0:22:31because they don't like the idea of corporate control.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34This one is Wolfsburg.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Are you sure about that? You are sure, I can tell you're sure.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Wolfsburg is the right answer.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Well done. Three out of three, Kevin.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Suddenly Kevin comes through.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Is the tide turning?
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Sorry, Al, you've been knocked out.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Kevin will be in the final.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Come back. We'll play the final round and we'll find out.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Brilliant game, this, isn't it? It's time now for the final round,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58which, as always, is General Knowledge -
0:22:58 > 0:23:01but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:23:01 > 0:23:03to take part in this round.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05So it's Al from the Smithdown Five
0:23:05 > 0:23:08and also Lisa, Dave and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14So, Sri, Joe, Tom and Graham,
0:23:14 > 0:23:19you are playing to win the Smithdown Five £17,000.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Barry and Kevin, you're playing for something which money cannot buy -
0:23:22 > 0:23:24the Eggheads' reputation -
0:23:24 > 0:23:27and look at the damage they've done to the Eggheads already.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34You can confer.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35So, Smithdown Five, the question is,
0:23:35 > 0:23:40are your four brains able to defeat these two?
0:23:40 > 0:23:41And beware, they're very good.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- First.- First, yeah.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- First, please. - First, please, Jeremy.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53So, General Knowledge, final round, good luck.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55What is the common name
0:23:55 > 0:23:59for a moccasin-like leather shoe for casual wear?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Yeah, loafer, isn't it? - Yeah, it's a loafer.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08It is loafer.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Might have been tempted by sneaker, there.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Well done. Eggs -
0:24:12 > 0:24:17who plays the title role in the 2016 film The Legend Of Tarzan?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Well, I saw this on the plane coming back from holiday recently
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- and I think it was Alexander Skarsgard.- It was, yeah.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30- You happy with that? - Yeah, it is him, yeah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Funnily enough, it was on the plane I came back on, as well.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- It was the same. - Oh, so we've both seen...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- I'd already seen it, anyway. - We've both seen this film recently -
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and it was a very, very good film, most enjoyable,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44and Tarzan was played by Alexander Skarsgard.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Alexander Skarsgard is the right answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I love the fact that Kevin's seen it twice.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- No, I didn't watch it the second time.- OK.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- It was on on the plane but I didn't watch it.- Right.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I have to say my opinion of it differs from Barry's.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Well, you're just upset they didn't ask you to play Tarzan in it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Yeah, I know, I'd done all the work...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- You didn't get a call back? - No, no, no.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05No. OK.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07You're equal. Challengers, your question.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Which New York street is the official address
0:25:10 > 0:25:12of the Chrysler building?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22It's not Wall Street, because that's down south.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Avenue of the Americas...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Straight away write off Wall Street.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Yeah.- So between the other two.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34For me, I thought Lexington, but you said...
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I reckon Avenue of the Americas.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I know it's not Wall Street,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40but I don't know between the other two, so...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I'll take Avenue of the Americas.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- OK.- Are we sure?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Yeah. No. Well, we're not sure, but...
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- It's better than nothing.- OK.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51We're not sure, but we're going to go for...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55..Avenue of the Americas.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57It's Lexington Avenue.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58- Ah!- Sorry.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03OK, Eggs, your chance to take advantage.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06What is the carving of vertical ornamental grooves
0:26:06 > 0:26:10on columns in Classical architecture called?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Fluting?- Fluting.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Yeah?- Yeah.- OK. Well, we're both agreed on that.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22The carving of the vertical grooves is called fluting -
0:26:22 > 0:26:24and the interesting thing about fluting is -
0:26:24 > 0:26:28in probably the most famous building with flutes, which is the Parthenon,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31you would think that the columns would be the same width
0:26:31 > 0:26:32all the way up the height,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35and they're actually a little wider in the middle,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37so that people who are viewing it from a distance see a perfectly
0:26:37 > 0:26:39straight column and not a bent column,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41as an optical illusion.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Really?- So the ancient Greeks even understood
0:26:43 > 0:26:45that they had to do things like that,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48to make buildings appear beautifully symmetrical
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- from a distance.- That's amazing.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Fluting is the right answer.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55They've just put you on the back foot here.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57You must get this right.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03By what nickname were Victorian-era postmen known?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- No idea. - No, I don't have a clue, either.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I thought puffins first, but I have no basis for that.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I don't think it's robins.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I'm not sure.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It would be just a pure guess.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24Go for it.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31We don't know, so we're just going to take a guess at puffins.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Puffins.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35The answer is robins.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I'm sorry, Challengers. No way back.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43We have to say - congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51You know, and it was the simplest reason,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53they basically wore red tunics.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Goodness me, you played a very good game, Challengers.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Commiserations to the Smithdown Five.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59You took them right to the edge.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Maybe it was that definitive moment where the Tour de France question
0:28:03 > 0:28:05went wrong and Kevin stayed in, I don't know,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08but the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10They reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13If Pat was here, he would do that famous shoulder roll.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16It does mean you're not going home with the £17,000,
0:28:16 > 0:28:17so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Eggheads, well done. Well done, you two,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22you somehow shored up the defence there,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25and I wonder who will ever beat you.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:27 > 0:28:31to defeat the Eggheads. It's going to be £18,000 to win.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Until then, goodbye.
