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 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads. Hoping to get one over
0:00:34 > 0:00:37on our quiz champions today are The Only Way Is SE.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, this team of school friends from south-east London
0:00:39 > 0:00:41haven't been quizzing together for long,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43but are three-time winners
0:00:43 > 0:00:46of the George Staples pub quiz in Sidcup.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51However, so far, they've failed to answer the £1,000 jackpot question.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53How annoying! Let's meet them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Luke, and I'm an apprentice quantity surveyor.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Ali, and I'm an apprentice banker.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm George, and I'm English literature student.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Jawand, and I'm an accounting student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Jack, and I'm a history and German student.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So, Luke and team, welcome. Good to see you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- ALL:- Hi.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11So you've known each other a long time?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Me and Ali, we've known each other since we were about 10 or so.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17The rest of us have known each other since secondary school.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And tell us about this place where you started quizzing.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23So, basically, they had some ridiculously high prize for it,
0:01:23 > 0:01:24so we thought we might as well go,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and it turned out we're just pretty good at it.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Yeah, that's a very good bit of sledging - start them off
0:01:30 > 0:01:31on the wrong foot.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Well done. Good luck.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:35 > 0:01:38for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42the prize money rolls over to the next show. So, The Only Way Is SE,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45the Eggheads have won the last two games.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48You can see the steam coming out the top of the train now,
0:01:48 > 0:01:49so you've got to stop them.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51It means there's £3,000 to play for.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52- Would you like to try? ALL:- Yes.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Excellent. Since you're here.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01You can choose between Beth, Chris, Pat, Steve, and Barry.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- I'd say George.- It's probably going to have to be you, George.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06OK. I think it's going to be me, Jeremy.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08George, our English literature student.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I can see why you've been chosen.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Who would you like to take on? - It's a tough choice.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I think I'm going to go with Chris, please.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20OK, so George from The Only Way Is SE versus Chris from the Eggheads,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23please go to our legendary Question Room.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Arts & Books, George. What's your favourite kind
0:02:27 > 0:02:29of reading at the moment, now you're studying?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I'm into all sorts of things,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33mostly short stories.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I'm quite into Haruki Murakami.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37He's a Japanese writer.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And I like poetry as well.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I really love Seamus Heaney, he's one of my favourites.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Brilliant. He is great. Chris, you probably like him as well.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Yeah, I like Seamus Heaney, yeah.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Good. OK, George, first or second?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57And here we go. Down The Rabbit Hole is the title of the first chapter
0:02:57 > 0:03:00of a classic children's book by which author?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08I'm pretty sure that's from Alice In Wonderland,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10which would be Lewis Carroll.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Lewis Carroll is quite right.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Thank you very much.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Nobody ever thanks me when I tell them they're right.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18We've got a very polite team here.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20You don't thank me, do you, Chris?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Give me something to thank you for and I might.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:24 > 0:03:27OK, well, maybe it's coming.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Which female Shakespearian character
0:03:29 > 0:03:31is given a potion by Friar Laurence
0:03:31 > 0:03:33to make her appear dead?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38That's Juliet.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Juliet is the right answer.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I thought you were going to thank me.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45OK. Thanks, Jeremy.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50OK, George, back to you. Which character in an epic poem
0:03:50 > 0:03:52by the ancient writer Virgil
0:03:52 > 0:03:54sails to Italy and becomes the founder
0:03:54 > 0:03:56of the Roman people?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Hmm. OK, I'm not too sure on this one.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I think I'm going to go for the first one, Aeneas.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Aeneas is right. Yeah, really good.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Was that just a guess, or was there something...?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I was fairly sure, but I wasn't 100% confident.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17- It's good enough.- Yep.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21OK, Chris on the back foot a little bit here.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Chris, your question. Which of these books is set
0:04:24 > 0:04:27mainly at Craiglockhart War Hospital in Scotland?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Interesting. Well, it's not War Horse,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36because that's mostly set on the Western Front.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Is it Regeneration or is it Birdsong?
0:04:39 > 0:04:44I've not read either, but I think the one that's set at Craiglockhart
0:04:44 > 0:04:47is Regeneration.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Regeneration is right.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Well done. You're both playing well.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52George.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54The Renaissance painter Giorgione
0:04:54 > 0:04:57lived and worked mainly in which city?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04OK, well, I think all these cities have had very famous painters
0:05:04 > 0:05:06throughout the ages.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11I think perhaps the one most well-known for famous artists
0:05:11 > 0:05:16is Florence, so just on that logic I'm going to go with Florence.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Venice is the answer, George.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- OK.- Chris, your chance to get the round here.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Arts & Books. For what does the letter M stand in the name
0:05:25 > 0:05:28of the American crime novelist James M Kane?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I don't have a clue, Jeremy.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Is he Irish or is he Jewish?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43If he's Jewish, the Jewish name there is Mordechai,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45so that's what I'll have to go with.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- No, it's Mallahan. - Irish, then, in that case.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51So, Chris, two out of three for you as well.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- A bit of a let-off there, George.- Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55How about that? We go to Sudden Death, though,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57so it gets a little bit more tricky,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I don't give you alternative answers.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:06:02 > 0:06:08Which Irish writer described the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos,
0:06:08 > 0:06:13quite accurately more than 100 years before either moon was discovered?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Oh, I'm not sure. Erm...
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I'm struggling to think of anyone who it could be...
0:06:24 > 0:06:25..I'm afraid.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'm sorry, I don't know.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- I'm going to have to pass, I'm afraid. I'm not sure.- OK.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Chris, do you know?- It sounds like it ought to be Jonathan Swift.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Yeah, Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39So Chris has a chance to take the round.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- But don't worry, George, you're not out yet.- Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Which Italian chemist wrote If This Is A Man
0:06:46 > 0:06:51about his experiences inside Auschwitz concentration camp?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Primo Levy.- Primo Levy is the right answer, Chris.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56You've taken the round on Sudden Death. Sorry, George.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- That's OK.- You've been knocked out by our Egghead here.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01He'll be in the final and you won't.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Please, come back, rejoin your teams. We'll see what happens next.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09So The Only Way Is SE have lost a brain.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11We hope that that is not catastrophic.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Bad luck, George. The Eggheads are still sitting pretty there.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16The next subject is Geography.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18OK. Do we have a geographer?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Yeah.- Is that you, Luke? - I'm not, like, an actual geographer.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23No. You're a quantity surveyor.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Yeah.- But you do a bit of geography on the side?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Yeah, it's something that's always interested me.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Brilliant. OK, well, that's a great start.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Who would you like to take on? It can't be Chris.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Not Barry.- I'm going to have to melt from Barry a bit.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- You're avoiding Barry?- Yeah. - Well, he has been to every answer.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42That's his claim to fame.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43I'll take Steve.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Good call. So Luke from The Only Way Is SE
0:07:46 > 0:07:48versus Steve from the Eggheads.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Please, both of you, go to our Question Room now.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Good luck, Luke.- Thanks.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Team captain going in.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Yep.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00JEREMY LAUGHS Are you bit worried by this?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Not really.- OK. That's good.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I should say, your team name is based on the show
0:08:04 > 0:08:06The Only Way Is Essex.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Yeah. It's just cos it works for a pun, we don't actually watch it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Steve, do you watch it?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Cos I can never find anyone who actually admits to watching it,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- but I know lots of people do. - Life's too short.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Or my life is, anyway.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19All right, Geography, Luke.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Would you like to go first or second?- Second, please.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Steve, your first question.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30What is the capital of the Caribbean island of Barbados?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yeah, it's Bridgetown, Jeremy.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39So Kingston is Jamaica?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Yeah.- Port of Spain?- Trinidad.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Trinidad, OK. Bridgetown is right.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Luke, your question. Which of these Australian cities is furthest north?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Erm... So I know Melbourne is right in the south.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Sydney, I think, is really far in the south as well,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00so I think... I've got a feeling that Darwin...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03You know the bit in Australia, it's going to sound stupid,
0:09:03 > 0:09:04but the bit where it points up at the top
0:09:04 > 0:09:07and goes near Papua New Guinea? I think that's where Darwin is.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I might be thinking of somewhere else. But I'm going to say Darwin.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Yes, Darwin is right.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Well done, because that could easily have gone wrong.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Steve. Which US State has the highest population density
0:09:18 > 0:09:20according to the US Census?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I think that one's New Jersey, Jeremy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29New Jersey is the right answer.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31OK. Your question, Luke.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Keep the pressure on him here.- Yeah.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35With which of these countries
0:09:35 > 0:09:37does Switzerland share its longest border?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Well, it's definitely not Liechtenstein.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46I've been from Italy on a coach to Britain
0:09:46 > 0:09:48and we went through Switzerland,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52and I feel like Switzerland's border with France isn't that long.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53I think Italy's...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Because Switzerland is more long than it is tall,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57so I've got a feeling it's Italy.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01You're really good. Well done, Italy it is.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Playing well.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Steve.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07The kuna is the main currency of which country?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09That's K-U-N-A.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Yeah, I think somewhere along the way,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17it might be derived from "crown," unless that's koruna.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20But, anyway, I think it's Croatia, Jeremy.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Well, you're making swift work of these questions today.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Croatia's right. You've got three out of three.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27So, Luke, this is the moment.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Get this right, take him to Sudden Death, he may just...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32The circuits may break.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33- OK.- Here we go.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37The feature known as Scarborough Shoal
0:10:37 > 0:10:39lies in which body of water?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Erm, well, I was hoping it would be the North Sea or something.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Well, I've got a feeling, because I know that Hong Kong and Shanghai,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55they're on the south-eastern part of China,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57and there's a lot of things in Shanghai -
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I remember we learned about it in school -
0:10:59 > 0:11:00where it's pretty much like London.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Or it was, anyway. I don't know if it still is.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04And Hong Kong, obviously, used to be a British colony.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07And I've got a feeling that would make it the South China Sea,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- but I'm not sure. - What do you think, Steve?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I really don't know, Jeremy. But it's a very plausible answer.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13It's a lovely answer. Eggs, is he right?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16He's right, it's one of those little groups of rocks
0:11:16 > 0:11:19that are the subject of lots of disputes, territorial disputes.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yeah, Pat confirms you are right, Luke.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Oh!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25And the logic was just perfect.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28So we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Gets a bit harder. Start with you, Steve.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I don't give you alternative answers.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Which Asian city was previously known as Akmola,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38and is now the capital of Kazakhstan?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Astana.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Astana is the right answer.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I know you love your capitals, you Eggheads.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46All right, now there's pressure here, Luke.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50EAU is which country's international vehicle registration code?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Well, obviously it's an anagram of UAE,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59but then United Arab Emirates sort of seems too obvious,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02that the reason why I'm not sort of, I don't want to lean towards it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I've really not got any idea, so I'm just going to say Egypt.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07But I don't think that's right.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- So your answer is?- Egypt.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Egypt. Any Eggheads know?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Is it Uganda? East Africa Uganda?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Yeah, Pat. East Africa Uganda is what it stands for.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Sorry, Luke.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Well done, Steve, you squeaked it,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and you came very close there, Luke.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Sorry about that, but great play.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Come back to us, we'll play on.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30So, as it stands, The Only Way Is SE have lost two brains
0:12:30 > 0:12:31from the final round,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35despite, may I say, just brilliant play there, Luke, in Geography.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37The Eggheads have not lost a brain yet.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39The next subject is Music.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Who wants Music?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I don't think I should do Music.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44- No.- OK, I'll do it, then.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- You sure? Good luck. - I respect that, Ali.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Take one for the team.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51OK, apprentice banker, against which quizzer?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It could be Pat or Beth or Barry.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Shall I try and take out Barry before the General Knowledge?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Yeah.- Everyone agree with that?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Yeah.- We'll go from Barry.
0:12:59 > 0:13:05OK. Ali from The Only Is SE versus Barry from The Only Way Is...Leeds.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- No, not SE.- LE!
0:13:08 > 0:13:12The Only Way Is Leeds. We've got to practise our lines, Barry.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13To ensure there's no conferring,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21OK, Ali, you're against the great Barry, known as The Brain, on music.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:23 > 0:13:24I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Good luck, and here we go, Ali.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32The marimba most closely resembles
0:13:32 > 0:13:34which of these percussion instruments?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Hmm. I haven't heard of it before.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44My music teacher didn't do a good job on this one.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I'll hazard a guess at bongos.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Bongos. Actually, you strike it to play a note, the marimba,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58so it's more like the xylophone.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Xylophone is correct.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Barry, your question.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06"When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer,"
0:14:06 > 0:14:08are lines from which Stevie Wonder song?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Gosh. I would have preferred the marimba question.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18"When you believe in things.. then you will suffer."
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Well, it doesn't sound like Happy Birthday.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I mean, I've heard Superstition many times and I can't recall that line,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26but the tenor of that line sounds very much
0:14:26 > 0:14:28like it came from Superstition.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31So, although I've heard Superstition many times
0:14:31 > 0:14:33and I can't remember it, I'm going to go for superstition.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36If Lisa was here, I would ask her to do it, but it's...
0:14:36 > 0:14:38# When you believe in things you don't understand
0:14:38 > 0:14:41# Then you suffer Superstition get you down. #
0:14:41 > 0:14:43But you're right, Barry. That's the main thing.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It would be an odd line to have in Happy Birthday.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46It would indeed.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48All right, he's pulled ahead, Ali.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52The year 2016 was the 20th anniversary
0:14:52 > 0:14:54of the debut album by which group?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Spice Girls...
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I've heard the name Take That more recently than the other two.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I'll have to go by the process of elimination.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I don't think it's Westlife,
0:15:11 > 0:15:15purely because I haven't heard their name crop up much.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I'm going to go with Take That, Jeremy.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Would you have gone Take That, Barry?- Yes, I would.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24So would I, but it's the Spice Girls.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25- Wow.- Oh, gosh.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27OK.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Barry Simmons, you have a chance to take the round
0:15:30 > 0:15:32with just this question.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Who composed the music for The Goodbye Girl,
0:15:34 > 0:15:39the stage musical based on the 1977 film of the same name?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Well, I enjoyed the film very much. I think Richard Dreyfus was in it,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49it was a wonderful film.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52But it won't be Aaron Copeland, because he was classical,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56and I don't think it could possibly be Leonard Bernstein,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58he probably wasn't composing by that time,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00so I'll have to go for Marvin Hamlisch.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03If you've got this right, Barry, you've taken the round.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Marvin Hamlisch is the right answer.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Well done, Barry, place in the final. Two out of two.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Sorry, Ali. You've been knocked out.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13It's not quite a crisis, for our Challengers but it's getting close.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Return to us, we'll play the last round
0:16:14 > 0:16:16before the all-important final.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22So, The Only Way Is SE have lost three brains from the final round.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25The Eggheads are still in one piece.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26And the next subject is Sport.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Now, is this good news?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Reasonably good news.- Reasonably.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32So is it Jawand or Jack?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- I think I'll go for it. - OK, Jawand, against which Egghead?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It can be either Beth or Pat.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40You know, I don't really know who is stronger at Sport.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- It's just a toss-up, really. - Shall we go with Beth?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Beth? Right, I'll go with Beth, please.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47OK. So, Jawand from The Only Way Is SE,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49playing Beth, at Sport, from the Eggheads.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53And, please, for the last time, go to our Question Room.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58So, Jawand you can choose whether you go first or second on Sport.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59I'll go second, please.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Here we go, Beth, with your first question on Sport.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Who did Andy Murray defeat to win the gold medal
0:17:08 > 0:17:11in the men's singles at the 2016 Olympics?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21I was absolutely addicted to the Olympics,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23but this was one match that actually passed me by,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26but I'm pretty sure it was Juan Martin del Potro.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Juan Martin Del Potro is the right answer.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Well done. OK, your first question now, Jawand.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Good luck. Which of these terms means the recorded times
0:17:35 > 0:17:37for intervals of an athletics race?
0:17:41 > 0:17:42The answer is splits.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Splits is right.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Back to you, Beth.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Tofiq Bahramov, from Azerbaijan,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54played an important part in which of these sporting events?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Well, that sounds like an incredibly Russian name,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06even though he's from Kazakh... Sorry
0:18:06 > 0:18:07- Azerbaijan.- Azerbaijan, sorry.
0:18:07 > 0:18:13I wonder whether he was the Russian linesman in the '66 World Cup,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15so that was going to be my answer.
0:18:16 > 0:18:201966 World Cup final, I can see the lads nodding here.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23It got the thumbs up from Steve. Yes, Beth, well done.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Jawand.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28In 1981, the American Bob Tway
0:18:28 > 0:18:30turned professional in which sport?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Oh... I've never heard of that name,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38to be honest, Bob Tway.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I don't think it's figure skating.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I'll go with golf.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Golf is correct.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Playing well. Two out of two.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Over to you, Beth.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Which Pakistani batsman
0:18:51 > 0:18:56became his country's highest Test match scorer in 2015?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It's going to have to be a one-in-three guess.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07For no reason... I'm not sure whether he plays so much any more,
0:19:07 > 0:19:11so Younis Khan might be out.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12So it's between the other two,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15both of whom I believe are still playing.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Misbah-Ul-Haq.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Misbah-Ul-Haq is your answer.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Let's just go to Ali here,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23because I know your family are originally from Pakistan, yeah?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Yes.- And you know this?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Yeah, Younis Khan would have been my answer.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28He's still playing, and I think,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31if we're talking about all-time leading Test scorers,
0:19:31 > 0:19:32then it's Younis Khan.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Yeah, Younis Khan is the answer, Beth. Confirmed by Ali here.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38So...
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Jawand, you have a chance to take the round
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and get into the final.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47The Charlotte Hornets are a team in which US sport?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55That doesn't sound like a basketball team.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57So I'm going to rule that out.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I know Jack's a fan of the US basketball, so if it was basketball
0:20:02 > 0:20:03he'd probably give me a beating.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I think I'm going to go for baseball.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12OK, you've inflicted a bit of pain here on your side.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Jack, do you want to tell him?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- It's a basketball team. - It is basketball.- Right.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Oh, dear. That was your question, wasn't it?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Yeah, sadly.- So, equal after three,
0:20:21 > 0:20:22we go to Sudden Death.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I don't give you choices here.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Your question, Beth.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29At the Australian Swimming Championships in 2004,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31which swimmer was disqualified
0:20:31 > 0:20:34after he overbalanced on the blocks
0:20:34 > 0:20:37in the heats of the 400 metres freestyle,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39thus putting his Olympic place in jeopardy?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Oh, so that could be one of two.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46One of the two would be out because he was American,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48so I'm going to go with the Australian, which is Ian Thorpe.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Ian Thorpe is right.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52So, pressure on you now, Jawand.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Beth ahead. Sudden Death, it could all end now.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59The Soviet competitor Larisa Latynina
0:20:59 > 0:21:03was a leading name in which sport?
0:21:03 > 0:21:08So that's obviously something that's been around for a while.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I'm not too sure about what the Soviet Union
0:21:13 > 0:21:17were particularly good at in the past. Erm...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22However, something is telling me that it's fencing.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Fencing. If true, that would be a brilliant, brilliant shout.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- It's not, I'm afraid. It's gymnastics.- Gymnastics.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34So Larisa was a gymnast.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And that means you are out of the final round, Jawand.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I'm sorry. So the Challengers will be down to one.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Well done, Beth. You're in the final.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Come back to us, and we will play that final round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49It is time for our final round
0:21:49 > 0:21:51which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54But, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:54 > 0:21:56won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58So, I'm afraid, all from this side -
0:21:58 > 0:22:01it's Luke and Ali and George and Jawand from The Only Way Is SE.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:05 > 0:22:06OK, Jack, here we are.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Now, the last big question you answered was for 1,000 at the pub,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- and this time it's for 3,000.- Yep.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14So are you up for it?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- I'm a very up for it.- I'm sorry the tactics haven't quite worked out.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18But you can still win, can't he?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- We know this. - Yes, he certainly can.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21So, Barry, Steve, Pat, Chris, Beth,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24you're playing for something invaluable,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26which is the Eggheads' reputation,
0:22:26 > 0:22:27still a little bit shaky.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33They're all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I'm sorry that doesn't help you, Jack.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38The question is - can you, with your one brain, defeat these five?
0:22:38 > 0:22:39And it's been done before.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47All right. Here we go, Jack.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50In which city would you be most likely to travel
0:22:50 > 0:22:52on the underground system called the U-Bahn?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Well, I'm a German student.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I'm pretty sure that the answer's Berlin.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Berlin is right. Yeah, you are studying German and something else?
0:23:04 > 0:23:05- History.- History. OK.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- We'll hope for a history question next.- Yeah.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Berlin is the right answer. Well done. Eggheads.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Which popular breed of cat is particularly known
0:23:13 > 0:23:15for its lack of a tail?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Manx? Happy with Manx?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24We think that's a Manx cat.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It is a Manx cat. I don't know how you know this stuff.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28OK, Jack.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31The 2016 book Porcelain
0:23:31 > 0:23:34is the memoir of which DJ and musician?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I can't think of any link to any of...
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I mean, I don't know a lot about any of the DJs anyway.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I can't think of a link to them.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I'll go for Moby. I'm not sure why...
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- ..but, yeah.- Eggheads?
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Moby had a song called Porcelain.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Yeah, Moby had a song called Porcelain.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- So Moby's right.- A bit of luck.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00You can do with luck here.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02That's good. Eggheads...
0:24:02 > 0:24:04My desk slightly trembled.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I think it's them. They just sense the danger.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10The name of which type of pasta
0:24:10 > 0:24:12literally means wheels?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Rigatoni is ridged, isn't it? - I thought that was rigatoni.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- Really?- No, it's not rigatoni.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Rigatoni is like tubes.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Ridge. Yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Ruote?- Ruote sounds like rotary or...
0:24:29 > 0:24:32How it's written, I'd say ruote.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- OK?- Yes, we'll go with that.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39We're not sure at all of this, but we're going to go with ruote.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Ruote is, sadly, right.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45OK, Jack, get this right,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and who knows?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Who knows? What type of insect
0:24:50 > 0:24:53is the parasitic gadfly or horsefly?
0:25:00 > 0:25:01I don't know again.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I can't think of any link. I'm sure there is one.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I'll go for bot fly, please, Jeremy.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Is he right?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14I think it's a blowfly.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Yeah. Very, very painful bites from horseflies.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22- So you say blowfly? - I would say blowfly.- OK.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24The answer is bot fly.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Wow!- Well done.- Thank you.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- You got it, and...- Good answer. - I don't know what they were...
0:25:29 > 0:25:32thinking there, the Eggs. Who knows?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36You may not have to do any more work today.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- I wouldn't mind that. - You've done your bit for the team.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42What about that, team? He got three out of three.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44OK. Eggheads.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Game on.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Born in Canada in the late 1970s,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Erdem Moralioglu is a well-known name in which field?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59He's not that well known.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Erdem. Erdem, I've heard, is a fashion designer.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- It's down to you then, Beth. - Designer? Fashion designer?- Yeah.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08OK. Well, we've had guidance from Beth here,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10and we're going with fashion designer.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12A lot riding on this.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Beth is right. Fashion design.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Oh, OK, the new Egghead coming up trumps there.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- So, equal after three.- Yeah.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Sorry, Jack. Right on the verge.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- For a second, I thought... - For a second.

0:26:26 > 0:26:31Which star of the TV series Downton Abbey was nominated for an Oscar
0:26:31 > 0:26:35for her performance in the 1981 film Ragtime?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39I'm thinking 1981, obviously quite a lot of the cast is quite young.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43I can't think of her name, the woman who plays the, like...
0:26:43 > 0:26:48The grandmother and the mother of the main guy.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52I think her name's Maggie Smith, but that might be wrong.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I would guess Maggie Smith, because I know she's in Downton Abbey.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59You've remembered correctly an actor, Maggie Smith,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02but it's Elizabeth McGovern, who plays Lady Grantham.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Eggheads.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07If you get this right, the contest is over.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Sudden Death, we're on.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Which actor played the title character Derek Flint
0:27:12 > 0:27:15in the spoof spy films Our Man Flint and In Like Flint?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Coburn?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19James Coburn.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Think so.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22We think that's James Coburn.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Our Man Flint...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30..was indeed James Coburn.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39You could have done no more.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41You got three right, and three right is often enough.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44But then it's hard when there's five of them as well.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45So, commiserations.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46- Thank you.- I hope you've had a good time.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48You've made a long trip up to Glasgow here.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51A good experience, yeah. It was fun, nervous.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53And now you can go to the pub and win the £1,000.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- Exactly, yeah.- It's going to be a cinch after this.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00You still reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It does mean that the Challengers don't go home with the £3,000,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06so we take the money and we roll it over to our next show.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Eggheads, well done. I wonder if this money will ever be won?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Just trying to jinx it. Join us next time
0:28:12 > 0:28:14to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:14 > 0:28:16have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18There's £4,000 for them to play for.
