0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are
0:00:35 > 0:00:36School Of Hard Knocks.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, this team of teachers all work together at
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Clydebank High School in Glasgow,
0:00:41 > 0:00:42so let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Hi, I'm Paul, and I'm a history teacher.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, my name's John, and I'm a depute headteacher.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, my name's Graeme, and I'm a modern studies teacher.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, my name is Stuart, and I'm an art teacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, my name is Michael. I'm a music teacher.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00So, Paul and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- You feeling ready for this, Paul? - Yeah. Looking forward to this, yeah.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04So you're all teachers...
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Uh-huh.- ..and I suppose people always assume teachers know stuff,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10but maybe just focused on your own subjects, that's the trouble.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Yeah, well, we're wondering if some of our own subjects
0:01:13 > 0:01:14will come up, and, er...
0:01:14 > 0:01:16We'll see how our knowledge is when it does. If it does.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Is it the nightmare to have your own subject come up?
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Is that the worst thing? In a strange way.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22It could be good, it could be bad, we don't know.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- We're not sure right now. - Good luck, team.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Now, School Of Hard Knocks, they lost the last game.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37It was just one of those, wasn't it?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41You'd been on a great run, and then bang, so it means £1,000
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- is on the table for you to win, and would you like to try?- Yes, please.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46- Yes. - Good stuff.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53and you can pick Beth, or Dave, or Chris, Barry, or Lisa.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Go against Beth, if that's OK.- OK. - Yeah.- OK, I'm going to take on Beth.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- OK, cos you are the history teacher? - Yeah.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- So this is the ultimate nightmare now.- Yup.- Your subject has come up.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03OK. And the class are watching!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07So, it's Paul from the School Of Hard Knocks versus our own Beth,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Beth, your History knowledge is good?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Mm... No, it wasn't something I really enjoyed at school.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21OK, well, this is sounding good, Paul.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Yeah, pressure's on, so I'll see how I get on.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26So your choice - would you like to go first or second?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Er, could I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Of course you can, and here we go with your first History question.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37What type of weapon was the matchlock?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Erm...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46That doesn't actually ring a bell with me,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49but I'm thinking about flintlock,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and matchlock, so I'm going to try gun.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Gun is your answer. Gun is correct. Well done.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Beth, by what name was the mobster of the 1920s and 1930s,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Arthur Flegenheimer, better known?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Arthur Flegenheimer?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Well... Well, both Capone and Luciano...
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Think they sound like they've got sort of Italian backgrounds,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20rather than Germanic backgrounds,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23so I'll go with Dutch Schultz, on that case.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Dutch Schultz is correct.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Paul, your question.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Roughly when was the Stone Age tomb, Newgrange, in Ireland, built?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41This is definitely a guess.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Um... I am going to say...
0:03:45 > 0:03:47..32,000 BC.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- I'm afraid it's 3,200, Paul. - OK.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Beth, your question to take the lead.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Where in England did Edward the Elder,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58the successor to Alfred the Great, hold court?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Hmm. It certainly wasn't Maidstone, so...
0:04:06 > 0:04:10And St Albans seems unlikely as well.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13The... Winchester used to be the capital of England for a time,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15so I'll go with Winchester.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And you're absolutely right. Winchester it is. Well done.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Back to you, Paul.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23The epithet used for Harold Macmillan's 1962 reshuffle,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25The Night of the Long Knives,
0:04:25 > 0:04:30was originally used to describe a 1934 purge in which country?
0:04:33 > 0:04:38I do know this one, because I do teach this, so it's Germany.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Germany is the right answer. Was it Ernst Rohm and all that lot, was it?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Yep. - Germany it is.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46OK, so you're still in it, but if Beth gets this right,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48she's in the final round.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53Mrs Truman, First Lady of the United States from 1945 to '53,
0:04:53 > 0:04:58and the wife of Harry S Truman, was known by what first name?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Now, one of those names has come up,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07which I do recognise as the name of a First Lady,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10but I'm not sure whether it was her.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14But, as it's the best I've got, I'll go with Mamie.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Eggheads?- Mamie was Eisenhower's wife. It was Bess Truman.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Yeah, Mamie was Eisenhower's wife. It's Bess. So, scores are level.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Oh, Paul, you can sigh with relief! That's fine.- Yeah!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28You had a let-off there, so we go to Sudden Death.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Gets a bit harder - I don't give you alternatives.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36On his exile to an island in the South Atlantic in 1815,
0:05:36 > 0:05:40who famously protested, "I appeal to history"?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Erm...
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I'm thinking of people who've been exiled to islands,
0:05:45 > 0:05:50and Napoleon Bonaparte comes to mind, so I'll try that.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Napoleon is quite right. Well done, you got a question right.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56So, Beth, Sudden Death. You need to get this one right.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Falcon was the middle name of which famous explorer,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01born in Devon in 1868?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Well, I'm... It's...
0:06:05 > 0:06:09It's terrible that the only explorer I can think of,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13that I can garner the first name for, is Ernest Shackleton.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18But I'm pretty sure it's Scott, but I can't think of his first name.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- OK. So your answer is Ernest Shackleton?- Ernest Shackleton.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24OK, well, you are sort of wrong and right,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28cos it's not Ernest Shackleton, it is Scott, and first name, Eggheads?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Robert.- Robert.- Robert!- Robert Falcon Scott is the answer
0:06:32 > 0:06:36on Sudden Death. Well done, Paul, you've taken the first round.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38And you are in the final, and Beth has been knocked out.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Please return to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45So, as it stands, the School Of Hard Knocks have not lost
0:06:45 > 0:06:48a brain from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51The next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- So, Paul, who wants this? - It's going to have to be Stuart.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- You want me to do it?- Go for it. - Stuart?- It'll be Stuart against...
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Who do you think? - Lisa?- Lisa?- Lisa?- Lisa.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04OK, so let's see what happens here.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Stuart from School Of Hard Knocks versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14All right, Arts & Books, and, Stuart,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16do you want to go first or second?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I'll go first, Jeremy, thank you.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24All right, here is your first question. Good luck against Lisa.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27According to the opening words of the Jane Austen novel,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Pride And Prejudice, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that
0:07:31 > 0:07:35"a single man in possession of a good fortune must be
0:07:35 > 0:07:36"in want of a..." what?
0:07:40 > 0:07:41I haven't read that.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Erm...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46My instinct is to go for wife.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Job, house...
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I don't think so. I'm going to go for wife.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I think you should break the news, there, Lisa. It's correct, isn't it?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Absolutely. - Yeah.- Quite right.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Lovely opening line. Wife is right.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59OK, here's your question.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02In which century was the artist Pablo Picasso born?
0:08:04 > 0:08:10I think he just sneaked into the back end of the 1890s, birth-wise.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16He died in, I think it's '73, and he was pretty long-lived,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18so 19th century.
0:08:18 > 0:08:1919th is correct.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Back to you, Stuart, with your question.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28In which Shakespeare play is the Duke of Clarence murdered
0:08:28 > 0:08:30by being drowned in a butt of wine?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Well, it certainly isn't Romeo And Juliet.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I don't think Clarence is in Hamlet.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Oh, I'm really at a loss. Ham...
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I don't think it's Hamlet, that doesn't ring a bell, but somehow...
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I'm going to plump for Richard III.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Yep, nice work. You're correct. Richard III.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Lisa, "George suggested walking back to Henley
0:08:54 > 0:08:56"and assaulting a policeman,
0:08:56 > 0:09:00"and so getting a night's lodging in the stationhouse,"
0:09:00 > 0:09:02is a quote from which popular Victorian novel?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I'd have loved to have read that version of Wuthering Heights.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12But I think, with the references to Henley and everything else,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I think it must be Three Men In A Boat.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Three Men In A Boat is quite right. Yeah, well done.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Back to you, Stuart.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24The 2011 novel Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children
0:09:24 > 0:09:26is a work by which author?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I haven't a clue, looking at those three names.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36There's a bit of alliteration going on,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38with Lois Lowry and Ransom Riggs.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I'm going to say Daniel Handler, since that's the odd one out.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Daniel Handler is your answer. Anyone know on this side?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- It's Ransom Riggs. - Ransom Riggs, yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Couple of your team-mates know that. Ransom Riggs is the answer.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54So, Lisa, you have a chance to take the round now.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57What is the subtitle of the American writer
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Henry David Thoreau's famous 1854 book, Walden?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Argh!
0:10:09 > 0:10:14I think Walden is all about his sort of splendid isolation.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I think you can sort of go to the physical place.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I think it must be Life In The Woods.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22You've got it right. Life In The Woods is correct.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Well done, Lisa. Sorry about that, Stuart.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's that blooming home for peculiar children, wasn't it?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Yeah, yeah.- That did it. So, Stuart, you've been knocked out.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Lisa, you've got yourself knocked in.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- JEREMY LAUGHS - Knocked up.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Knocked up and knocked in! I think we can say that.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Please come back and rejoin your teams.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43So, it's now even.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46The School Of Hard Knocks have lost a brain from the final,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50the Eggheads have lost a brain too, and we play on with Sport.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Who fancies Sport?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Graeme.- Yep.- That's for you, isn't it?- And who do you want? Chris?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Yep, I'm going to take Sport, Jeremy.- OK, Graeme.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Now, you can have any Egghead except Beth or Lisa,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01so it's the three gents in the middle.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I think I'll try Chris, please.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Yep, he's had his moments with Sport, I think.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I have won the occasional Sport round.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- You have! - Yeah.- That's right.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13So, Graeme from the School Of Hard Knocks versus Chris Hughes
0:11:13 > 0:11:15from the Eggheads. The Locomotive.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16To ensure there's no conferring,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23OK, Graeme, Sport against Chris.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Would you like to go first or second?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31And here is your question.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35At the Royal Troon Golf Course, what is the postage stamp?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41It is...
0:11:43 > 0:11:44..the 8th hole, I think.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I'm pretty sure it's a golf hole, so I'll go with the 8th hole.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50The 8th hole is the right answer.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- OK.- Put you out of your misery there. Well done.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54OK, Chris, your question.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58How many teams took part in the Euro 2016 football tournament?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Too many is the answer to that, in my book, but, er...
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Let's go for the big one - 24.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Yeah, 24's right. - Mm.- Well done.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Graeme, what is the name of the annual
0:12:17 > 0:12:21best of three match series in Australian rugby league
0:12:21 > 0:12:23between New South Wales and Queensland?
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Erm, rugby league's not one of my big sports that I like.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36It's not State of Excellence.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39If it was State of the Nation, I would think it would be
0:12:39 > 0:12:41between two different countries.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I have heard of State of Origin,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47so I'm going to go with State of Origin, please, Jeremy.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49What do your team members think? Do you think he's right?
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- We're not sure at all.- Not sure. But you are right, Graeme, well played.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Chris, over to you.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01Which sportsman caused controversy in July 2016 when he said
0:13:01 > 0:13:05he would "watch the stuff that matters" at the Rio Olympics,
0:13:05 > 0:13:06but probably not golf?
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Ah.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Well, Tiger Woods had already blotted his copybook,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20so he was more or less persona non grata by then anyway.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Don't think it's Justin Rose, but Rory McIlroy was probably
0:13:25 > 0:13:28a bit fed up of golf by then, so I'll say Rory McIlroy.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- Eggheads, is he right?- Yes. - You are right. It is Rory McIlroy.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35So, 2-2. Nothing to choose between you.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38This can be the important question, this third one, Graeme.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Here we go. Jake Ball made his debut for England in 2016 in which sport?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Erm... That's three sport... All three are sports that I follow.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Jake Ball made his debut for England in cricket, Jeremy.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Cricket is right. Three out of three, you're playing well.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00OK, let's see if the Challengers take the lead here.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Chris, you have to get this right to stay in.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06The tennis player Milos Raonic represents which country?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Well, with a name like that, with the "ic" ending,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14it's probably Croatia.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Croatia is your answer.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18A couple of Eggheads have got their heads in their hands here.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- It's as close as we ever get to a trick question here.- Mm.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23He sounds Croatian, but he's not. He's Canadian.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Sorry, Chris.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27There's a great big hole in the pavement, and you walked into it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Well, you dug it, I didn't.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Yeah, but you didn't see it!
0:14:32 > 0:14:37Chris, you're out, and better luck next time. Well done, Graeme.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39You turned the tide here, maybe. This is getting exciting.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Come back to us and rejoin your teams.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47As it stands, the School Of Hard Knocks have lost a brain.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50The Eggheads have lost two. This is... Paul, this is looking lively.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- This is good, yeah, we're... - The classes are cheering out there!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- So far, so good. - Started throwing the chalk around.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58The next subject is Film & TV.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00So who wants this?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Could be a big moment. - Jeremy, I'd like to do it, please.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05OK, John, depute headteacher.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09And which Egghead would you like to send to the back of the room?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Dave?- Yeah, probably Dave.- I'd like to challenge Dave, please, Jeremy.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Good stuff.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16John from the School Of Hard Knocks versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18To ensure there's no conferring, for the last time,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20please go to the Question Room.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24So, John, good luck. Film & TV against Dave.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27If you get this round, then you've got a bit of an advantage...
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Well, a major advantage going into the final.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Do you want to go first or second?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I think I'll put the pressure on Dave, and go second.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Here is your question, Dave.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Who announced his decision to leave the television programme
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Top Gear at the start of July 2016?
0:15:48 > 0:15:49I think James May had gone.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Erm... I don't think it was Matt LeBlanc. I think it was Chris Evans.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Yes, it was Chris Evans.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Back to you, John.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Which of these actors appears in the 2015 films The Martian
0:16:02 > 0:16:04and Steve Jobs?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12I've seen both of these films. Erm...
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I'm struggling to think for sure which one it is,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19but I can certainly remember...
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Jeff Daniels being in at least one of them,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23so I'm going to plump for Jeff Daniels.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Jeff Daniels is quite right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27OK, Dave, on to you.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30In which year did John Noakes leave Blue Peter?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37That's a good question.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Erm, I don't think it's as early as 1974,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45cos you had Peter Purves, Val Singleton and Lesley Judd.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I think they were certainly around in the '70s.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50It's a gamble...
0:16:50 > 0:16:52but I think he was the last one of those left...
0:16:54 > 0:16:58..and I think it could be as late as '82, so that's my answer. 1982.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- '78! - Would never have gone for that.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04So you flummoxed him, John. You made him go first.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05He's panicking.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08To take the lead, here's your question.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13The actress Aubrey Plaza played a bored intern called April
0:17:13 > 0:17:15in which American sitcom?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24The only one I think I've really heard of, and therefore my
0:17:24 > 0:17:29answer, my guess, I should say, is going to be Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Let's see. Team-mates, is he right?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Thought it was Parks And Rec...- Yep. - Parks And Recreation.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36OK, yeah, you're right. Parks And Recreation is the answer.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- So now you're level, and we go back to Dave.- Yep.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Which British actor was the star of the 1979 sequel to
0:17:44 > 0:17:48The Poseidon Adventure, entitled Beyond The Poseidon Adventure?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Well, I'll rule out Olivier.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I did think Caine as a first instinct, but Connery is...
0:18:00 > 0:18:02nagging.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03No, I've got to stick with my first instinct,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07and take the punishment - Michael Caine.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10No, you're right. Michael Caine it is. Well done.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13OK, on we go to you, John. You need this to stay in.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Which of Charlie's Angels,
0:18:15 > 0:18:20in the original 1970s television series, was played by Kate Jackson?
0:18:25 > 0:18:26This is just a little before my time.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29It certainly wasn't a programme I was watching. Erm...
0:18:29 > 0:18:32So this will be a complete stab in the dark...
0:18:34 > 0:18:37..and I will try for Kelly Garrett, please.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42It's not Kelly Garrett. It is Sabrina Duncan.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So, sorry, John, you've been beaten by Dave.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Dave will be in the final round,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48which levels up the final as well, actually.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Please rejoin your teams, and we will play that final round.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55OK, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59is General Knowledge, but I'm afraid those of you who lost your
0:18:59 > 0:19:01head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So, that's John and Stuart from the School Of Hard Knocks,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06and also Chris and Beth from the Eggheads -
0:19:06 > 0:19:08would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Paul, Graeme and Michael,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14you're playing to win the School Of Hard Knocks £1,000.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Lisa, Barry and Dave,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17you are playing for something that money can't buy -
0:19:17 > 0:19:21to get your reputation back on track after that awful defeat.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26They're all going to be General Knowledge, and, gentlemen,
0:19:26 > 0:19:27you can confer.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31So, School Of Hard Knocks, the really big question is -
0:19:31 > 0:19:33can you, with your three brains,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35take down these three super-brains over here?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37And would you like to go first or second?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44OK, Michael and team, here we go.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47What is the name for the branch of medical science
0:19:47 > 0:19:51concerned with the nature, function and diseases of the blood?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Well, haema... - Haematology is blood.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Toxicology is poisons or something. - Yeah.- Something to do with poison.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I don't know cosmology.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Yeah, it's haematology. - Haematology.- Uh-huh.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09We're going to go for haematology, please, Jeremy.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Haematology's right. Well done.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14First question for the Eggheads.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Over which part of the body is a codpiece worn?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I was just waiting to see how they'd put that in the answers,
0:20:21 > 0:20:22- weren't you?- Yeah, yeah, totally.- I think...
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Are we all agreed on crotch? - I think so.- I think so.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It would be unusual to see it on any other part of the body.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Yes, definitely, yeah.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I think we have to go for the crotch here.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Yes, it is the crotch.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Right, your question.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43School Of Hard Knocks. In Paris, what is the Promenade Plantee?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50What's that? Like, "platoon park"?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Plants. There's a clue in the name.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58My gut's telling me park, boys, but... That's just a gut instinct.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Mine's saying promenade, which makes me think "water".
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Marina. - There's no marinas in Paris.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- No?- I mean, certainly the River Seine, that flows through it,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09but I don't think there would be a marina.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It's too central.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Not...- What do you think? What do you think?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I think the best guess we've got is the park, isn't it?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- I'm ruling out marina. - Right, OK.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22We don't know this, Jeremy,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25but we're going to go for elevated park.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Elevated park is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30You've got two right. Over to you, Eggheads.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35".ch" is the internet top level domain extension
0:21:35 > 0:21:37for which European country?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Switzerland. Confoederatio He...- Yeah, it is Switzerland.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Helvetica.- Yeah. - I'm pretty sure it must be dot...
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Yeah, it must be "ch" there.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Yeah.- We're fairly happy on this one. We'll go for Switzerland.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Switzerland is right. 2-2.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57OK, can be crucial, this third question.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Keep your nerve.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Who reached the number two spot in the UK singles chart
0:22:02 > 0:22:05in 1993 with What Is love?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07(I know this. It's Haddaway.)
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I know this. It is Haddaway.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- We all happy with that one? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16We think we know this one, Jeremy. We think it's Haddaway.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Totally right. Haddaway is right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Well done, boys. - OK, Eggheads, this to stay in.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- We do not want two defeats in a row, do we?- No.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Well, to be honest, I quite enjoy it.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26In Greek mythology,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30what was the name of the person who gave Theseus a ball of thread
0:22:30 > 0:22:34to help him escape the labyrinth after killing the Minotaur?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- It's Ariadne.- Ariadne.- Ariadne, yeah.- We're happy with that?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Definitely, yeah. - Well, the answer to this is Ariadne.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48But the ball of thread that she gave him was actually called a clew,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50and that's the derivation of the word "clue",
0:22:50 > 0:22:53because it led him the way out of the labyrinth.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Ariadne's the right answer, well done. 3-3.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Tight final round here. We go to Sudden Death. No options.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Here's your question.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06In winter, a stoat's coat turns predominantly what colour?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- What colour is it normally? - I have no idea.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12In terms, then, of camouflage...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- And in terms of winter - white? - Should it be white or yellow or...?
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- Grey? - White or grey, if it's in winter.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Snow, frost.- White? Worth a guess, isn't it? White's all we've got.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- We going to go with white? - We've got nothing else.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26We're going to say white, Jeremy.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28White is correct.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Well done! Oh, these Eggheads are sweating again.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36To stay in, and avoid the second defeat, Eggs.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40In English history, which monarch was born in 1457?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Right, let's have a think here. Cos Henry VIII would be...
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- No, he's...- He's too... - I think it's Richard III.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52- Richard III. - 1457-1485 is...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- 25... 28 years.- Puts him at 28. He was older than that, wasn't he?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- 28... I think he...- I think he was older than that when he died.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Yeah, but who else could it be? - OK, let's have a think.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Right, so 1461 was when Edward IV became king, so that's not right.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- It could be - COULD be - Henry the...- Could be Henry VII.- Could be.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- That would make more sense. - Richard III, I think, was in...
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- I'm pretty certain was in his 30s. - Mid-30s when he died, about 36.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17So it's got to be Henry VII, because it can't be anybody else.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Well, if you think about it, it's Richard III, Henry VII,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22and Henry VIII, and it ain't Henry VIII, cos he would have been 90,
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- so that's...- It's got to be Henry VII.- I think that's probably right.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- OK.- I think... - Happy with that?- Yeah, go on, then.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31After some calculation on dates and ages and whatever,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33we've decided to go for Henry VII.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Henry VII is right. Well done. You did...
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I thought you were going to go to a Richard and...
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Yeah, we were all over...
0:24:40 > 0:24:41- Yeah, we just had to work it out... - Well done.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44All right, sorry, they're quite good on kings and queens.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Your question. Which county cricket club has a stag as its badge?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Something's drawing me... - Is it to do with the crest?
0:24:52 > 0:24:57On the badge, yeah. Something's drawing me towards Nottinghamshire.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Yeah?- I'm leaning towards that. I'm trying to go through them all.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04It's not Essex. I can picture the Essex one.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- It's not Gloucestershire.- It's not ringing a bell for you, Michael?- No.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I don't think it's Leicestershire.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I'm between Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- We trust you...- No, no, don't worry. We don't have a clue.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25I'm leaning towards Nottinghamshire, just from trying to eliminate
0:25:25 > 0:25:29a lot of county cricket badges, and there ARE a lot of them.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31I think Nottinghamshire.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Nottinghamshire is quite right. CHALLENGERS LAUGH
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Well done, Graeme.- Well played, sir. - Well done.- Well played.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well done, Graeme.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41A Scotsman going through English county badges.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- I've never seen that before! - I know my cricket.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48OK, Eggheads, on the back foot here. Get this wrong, it's theirs.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49This is a quote.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53"Well now, I've always believed that, if done properly,
0:25:53 > 0:25:57"armed robbery doesn't have to be a totally unpleasant experience,"
0:25:57 > 0:26:01is a quote from which 1991 Ridley Scott film?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- Good grief.- Oh, yeah, it's got to be Thelma And Louise, hasn't it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07That's 1991, and that's Ridley Scott.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Yes. I'll take that in the absence of anything else I can think of.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Well, I don't have anything else. - I think it must be. Go on.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Give it a shot. - Well, I'm reliably informed,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19from the gentleman on my left, that it's Thelma And Louise.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- It is Thelma And Louise, right. - Go, Dave!- Good answer.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Your question, Sudden Death.
0:26:23 > 0:26:29Nix is the name of one of the moons of which object in our solar system?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Nix is N-I-X. - It's planets, presumably.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Could be planets.- Neptune begins with "N". There's that.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37What could it be if it's not a planet?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Cos he didn't say "planet".
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- That's true.- Did he not say...? - No, he just said "object".
0:26:42 > 0:26:44But I don't know what else it would be, though.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Is that the clue, then?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Because he didn't say "planet," should we be thinking the sun?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50As an object?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Mm. Maybe. - You want to try that?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Cos he didn't say "planet"? - Yeah.- Will we go...?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58We're going to go with the sun.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I see. No, it's not the sun.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Anyone know? - Pluto.- Pluto.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06So, Eggheads, you have a chance to take the final round with
0:27:06 > 0:27:09this question. Sudden Death. Here it is.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13The Shepherd's Crown, released in August 2015,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15was the last book by which author?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Let's have a think.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- It's got to be somebody who's died recently.- Yeah.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It's 2015, so the last book...
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Oh, it's not...- I've heard this. - It's not Pratchett, is it?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Could be Pratchett.- Ah, of course! - Terry Pratchett makes sense.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Yes, that makes perfect sense.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I don't know if that's a Pratchett-y title.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35I think it is. That rings a bell with me.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- I'm happy to go for that.- I'm happy with that.- Is that date right?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- Yeah, yeah.- Yeah.- OK. Go Terry Pratchett.- Give that a shot.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44OK, well, we're not absolutely certain,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47but we're going to have a shot, thanks to Lisa, at Terry Pratchett.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51The answer is Terry Pratchett. Congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Well done, Lisa.- You have won. - Well played. Superb.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Watching them... It's interesting watching them, isn't it?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02They kind of just beetle around,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04and take a few wrong answers and throw them out, and...
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You played well. In the final round, particularly.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10You really did, you were pressing hard there. Well, commiserations.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I hope this wasn't one of the hard knocks
0:28:12 > 0:28:13for the School Of Hard Knocks.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, most of the time.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20They're back at the top of Quizland once again.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22I'm afraid you won't be going home with the £1,000,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24so we roll the money over to our next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Eggheads, we say "well done".
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Scrapping, fighting your way through, but my goodness,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30you did it again.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:36have the brains to take them down. Rattle their confidence.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Make them pay. £2,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
