These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
Together, they make up the Eggheads, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
The question is - can they be beaten? | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome to Eggheads, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
They are the Eggheads. Taking on our awesome quiz champions | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
today are the Thursday Knights. Now, this team are all associated with | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
the University of Warwick chorus. Although they don't quiz regularly, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
they believe that with a combined age of 357 years, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
they will have soaked up enough trivia to help them along, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
against this lot over here. Let's meet them. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Hi, I'm JG, and I'm a semi-retired IT consultant. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
Hello, I'm John, and I'm a solicitor. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
Hello, I'm Nick, and I'm a retired engineer. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Hello, I'm Phil, and I'm a retired mechanical engineer. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Hello, I'm Mike, and I'm a retired education adviser. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
So, JG and team, welcome. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
-Hello. -Good to see you. -Hello. -And tell us about University of Warwick, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
or the Warwick chorus. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
Well, it's an un-auditioned chorus which consists of community people | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
as well as staff and students from the University of Warwick. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
It's been going for 28, 30 years, and we sing primarily classical, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:33 | |
although occasional jazz things, but mostly... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Currently rehearsing a Verdi Requiem but we have done virtually all | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
the Requiae and many other classical works. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
If I asked you to sing later, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
would that embarrass some members of the team? | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Yeah? Better not, then! | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
I did think about trying to get two tenors and two basses so that | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
-we could do Dies Irae from the Verdi Requiem. -Yeah. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
When we got, normally, 200...230 or more... | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
-It's difficult. -Four would be a bit... Asking a lot! | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
OK, I hope your quizzing is as good as your singing, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
those of you who sing. Good luck, team. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
for our Challengers. However, as you know, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that prize-money rolls over | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
to the next show. So, here we are, Thursday Knights. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
The Eggheads have won the last three games. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
They just... They had a bit of an incident, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
which I'm not talking about, a few games ago. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
They've almost got back into their stride, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
and you need to break them up right now. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
It means £4,000 is on the table for you to win. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
-Would you like to get cracking? -Absolutely. -Fantastic. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
and you can choose from Judith, Beth, Pat, Steve and Chris. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-Film & TV. -TV. I think that's... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-I think Mike... -I pulled the short straw on this one. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
OK, Mike, so the battle plan has already not survived | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
first engagement with the enemy, as they say. Who would you like? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-Any advice? -Advice. We haven't seen much from Beth, of course, but... | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
-I don't know, being fairly new. -Yeah. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
-Well, let's try. -OK. All right. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Chris, famously the last movie you watched was where they had a bloke | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
playing the piano at the front, wasn't it? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
The up-and-coming Studio Keystone, yeah. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Anyway, you're out of this one. Mike from Thursday Knights | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
versus Beth from the Eggheads on Film & TV, and to ensure there's | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
no conferring, please go to the Question Room now. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
Mike, before we start, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
I should ask why you're called the Thursday Knights. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Because choir practice is on Thursdays | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
during the university terms, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
and when we started to agree to meet, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
we met in each other's houses on Thursday nights. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
The Knights bit is the clever, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
because we're the Thursday Knights with a K in front. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Yeah, because you're galloping in your armour. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Yeah, exactly, well, keep the armour on, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
cos this lot play a hard game, as you know. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
There's no messing with them. So you're up against Beth on Film & TV. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
Would you like to go first or second, Mike? | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
I think I'll go first, as a matter of course. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
And here we go. William Roache first played Ken Barlow in the TV soap | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
Coronation Street in which year? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
Well, I don't think it was 1940s, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
I really don't think it had started yet. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
In the '50s, I think it started, | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
and I think he was pretty well established by the 1980s | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
so I'll go for 1960. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
1960 is quite right. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
OK. Beth, your question. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
John Kettley, born in 1952, found fame in which role on TV? | 0:04:34 | 0:04:40 | |
Well, as the 1990s song goes, "John Kettley is a weatherman". | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-He was a weather forecaster. -Weather forecaster's right, yeah. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
All right. Mike, your question. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
In the 1995 film Braveheart, | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
which member of William Wallace's family is killed, | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
igniting his quest for vengeance? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Well, it was a youngish woman, and I don't think it was his mother, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:12 | |
so I'm going to say his wife. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
So you've seen the film? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Yes. Yes. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
Sounds like you weren't that moved by the incident in question. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
Well, the incident was one thing, | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
the retelling of history was another. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
All right. Understood, I get where you're coming from. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Wife is correct. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-Oh, well done! -He's playing well on Film & TV. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. -Beth, your question. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
Which of these Star Trek films was released in 2016? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
Oh, one of my husband's favourite things, Star Trek. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
Star Trek Nemesis was one of the earlier Star Trek films. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
Star Trek Into Darkness was the second of the reboots, | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
so I'm sure it was Star Trek Beyond. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Star Trek Beyond is quite right. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:04 | |
Well done. Mike, your question, third question. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
Get this one right, put some pressure on. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
Which of these actresses was born first? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
I'm likely to be offensive to one of them in my answer, aren't I? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
I think none of them is in the first flush of youth. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
I have a feeling that I read recently they're all in their 50s, | 0:06:26 | 0:06:32 | |
whatever they look like, and I think they all look terrific. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-Well done. -Erm... | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
Nick in our team always tells me to go for the middle | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
if you're uncertain, but I think I'm going to go for Julia Roberts. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
OK. Julia Roberts was born in 1967. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
Nicole Kidman was born in 1967. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
Sandra Bullock was born in 1964. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
-Oh! -So the middle was the one. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
Nick, I'm sorry. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
He thought about it. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
Beth, you can take the round with this question. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
In which year was the Academy Award for best animated feature | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
first awarded? | 0:07:09 | 0:07:10 | |
Now, surprisingly a rather late entry into the Academy Awards. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:23 | |
And it wasn't as late as 2012. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
I'm pretty sure it wasn't as early as '92. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
Yeah, 2002 sounds about the right sort of area for the entrance | 0:07:30 | 0:07:35 | |
of this award, so 2002. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
If you have this right, you are in the final round. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
Anyone know on the Eggheads side? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-Quite tricky. -I know it was won by Shrek. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-Won by Shrek. Oh, so... -I'm not sure about the year. -Ah! | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
-That would be 2000... -It will be 2002. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
They like it, Beth, 2002 was the right answer. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
Well done. Mike, sorry. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
Knocked out by Julia Roberts. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
Well, there are worse things! There are worse things. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
So you won't be in the final and Beth will. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
Please return, rejoin your teams. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
So the Thursday Knights have taken a bit of a jousting lance. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
-Yes. -Not centrally, but just, I think, a glancing blow. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
They've lost a brain. The Eggheads have not lost any so far, | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
and the next subject is History. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
Who would like this? Oh, there's a worrying silence. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
It's got to be Phil, I think. Yeah. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:24 | |
-Yeah. -Phil, you like your History? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:25 | |
He was deputed. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-OK. -Yeah. Not my favourite subject. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
-Not your favourite? -No. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:31 | |
All right, you can have any Egghead except Beth. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-Chris. -Chris, I've been told. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
He knows a lot of history. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-Oh, does he? -He's lived a lot. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Well, I've been around longer than most people. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
You've seen a lot of it up close. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
So, Phil from the Thursday Knights | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
versus our own Chris from the Eggheads. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Please, gentlemen, go to the Question Room now. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
So, Phil, is History your choice? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-It is. -Oh... | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-Not my favourite. -..I thought you'd been kind of volunteered for it. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
-Well, it's one of my subjects. -Oh, good, OK. -But not the strongest. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
OK. And you like it, Chris? | 0:09:03 | 0:09:04 | |
Well, History is real, it exists. The present is transitory | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
and the future is nebulous, so study History. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
-Ah! -You see how profound he gets. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Honestly, it just comes from nowhere. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
So, Phil, good luck. First or second on History? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
First, please. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
OK, here is your first question. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Where was William the Conqueror born? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Certainly not in England. Erm... | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
I don't think it was Germany, so I will certainly go for France. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
France is the right answer. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
Well done. You knew that, Chris? | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
-Well, he was Duke of Normandy, so it is France, yeah. -Yeah. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
OK, here's your question. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
Which of these groups of people came from Hungary? | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
If you see a Hungarian stamp, even today, it says "Magyar poster," | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-so they are Magyars. -Magyar is correct. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
Phil, your question. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
How did the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev die? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
Certainly wasn't a plane crash and - well, I remember this happening - | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
it wasn't assassination. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
I believe he almost dropped dead in the street of a heart attack. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Heart attack is the right answer. Well done. Back to you, Chris. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
The Hundred Years War was fought | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
between England and France from 1337 to what date? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
Er... Well, it was 118 years, wasn't it? | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
So 1337... | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
So, 1453 in that case. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
That's good quizzing, you're right. 1453. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
He's good, isn't he, Phil? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
-Mmm. -JEREMY LAUGHS | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
-So far. -Here is your third question, this is the one. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
This is the turnaround moment now. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
Which of these politicians was Prime Minister of Great Britain | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
for just under 15 years? | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
Chatham... Now, I think that was one of the... I can't remember his name, | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
but I think it was probably a fairly long stretch. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
Having been told to go for the middle one if in doubt, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
and my friend went for not the middle one, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
I'm going to go for the middle one. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-The Earl of Liverpool. -Chris, you know? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Well, it's Chatham, isn't it? William Pitt the Elder. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
Argh! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:26 | |
The answer is the second Earl of Liverpool. Well done! | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
Even Eggheads can be wrong sometimes. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Chris does say it with immense conviction when he's wrong. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
Almost more than when you're right, Chris, actually. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
-Yes. -It's brilliant. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
OK, you'd be an amazing con man, because you convince everybody. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
Right, your question, Chris, | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
and if you get this wrong, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
you're going to have to go out the hatch. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
What was the first name of the man after whom Wyatt's Rebellion, | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
a 1554 uprising against Mary I, was named? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
Wyatt. Thomas... | 0:12:03 | 0:12:04 | |
Thomas Wyatt. Thomas. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
Thomas Wyatt is your answer. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
You're right. Well done, 3-3. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
So it gets a bit tense now, Phil, | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
we go to Sudden Death. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
I don't give you choices. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
The Gulf War was triggered in 1990 | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
by which country's invasion of Kuwait? | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
Erm... The invasion of Kuwait by... | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
-Iraq. -Iraq is quite right, under Saddam Hussein. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
Chris, in January 1959, what became the 49th state of the USA? | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
Er, 49th... | 0:12:41 | 0:12:42 | |
Well, Hawaii's the 50th, so it was Alaska. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
Yeah, you could have gone wrong there, but you didn't. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Alaska's right. Phil, your question, Sudden Death. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
In 1679, which diarist was charged | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
with leaking naval secrets to the French? | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
The only diarist I know around that time was Samuel Pepys. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
Samuel Pepys is the right answer. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
Chris, if you get this wrong, you're out. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Who was president of the USA | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
at the start of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis? | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
-Jimmy Carter. -Jimmy Carter is right. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
History, Sudden Death. Phil, back to you. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
Who was the first Hanoverian monarch to be born in England? | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
I should think it was George II. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
It was George III. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
OK, Chris, for the round. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
Who was the head of the German Luftwaffe | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
during the Battle of Britain in 1940? | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
Hermann Goering is the right answer. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:39 | |
Chris, you've taken the round, on History. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
I know you love your First and Second World War, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:44 | |
so I would have been surprised if you'd got that wrong. Well done. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Phil, sorry, you've been knocked out. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
He knows his history, and you won't be able to help your team | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
in the final round. So, Phil, Chris, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
come back to us, and we'll see what the next round brings. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
So, as it stands, the Thursday Knights have lost a second brain | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
from the final round. The Eggheads are still all there. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
The next subject is Sport. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Who would like this? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
-Hooray(!) -Hooray. -The plan has slightly... | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
-That's defini... -Nick. -I'll take that. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
OK, Nick, our retired engineer. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Which Egghead? It can be Judith or Pat or Steve. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
We decided on Judith. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
Yes. Yes. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
OK, so, it is Nick from the Thursday Knights, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
with no intention of being chivalrous, I am sure, | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
to Judith from the Eggheads. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:28 | |
For Sport. Please go to the Question Room now. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
Nick, is this your choice of subject? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-Yes, it was, yes. -Good luck against our Judith. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
And would you like to go first or second? | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
I'd like to go first, please. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
Here we go. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:45 | |
The tennis player Heather Watson won which competition | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
at Wimbledon in 2016? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:49 | |
It certainly wasn't the Ladies Singles. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
And I don't think it was the Ladies Doubles. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
I think it was the Mixed Doubles. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
Mixed Doubles is right. Well done. Judith, by what score | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
did Portugal defeat France in the final | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
of the 2016 European football Championships? | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Um, I think it was 3-1. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
3-1. You've got a memory of those goals? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
Yes. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:23 | |
JEREMY LAUGHS | 0:15:23 | 0:15:24 | |
It was 1-0, Judith, sorry. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
-Oh! -You got half the score there, | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
but there were three phantom goals involved. 1-0. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
Phil, back to you. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
For which international rugby union team | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
did the fly-half Stephen Larkham play over 100 matches? | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
Now, rugby isn't necessarily my best sport, so I'm going to certainly go | 0:15:44 | 0:15:50 | |
against my rule of the middle. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
I don't think he was South African. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
I just might remember Australia. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Australia is the right answer. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
-Yes! -OK, the pressure's increasing, Judith. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
You need to get this one right. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
The golfer Henrik Stenson won his first major in 2016 | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
when he finished 20 under par at which of these tournaments? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
Well, it wasn't the Masters. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
Oh, gosh, which one from the other two was it? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
I think it was The Open. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:23 | |
-Yes, brilliant work. It is The Open, well done. -Mm. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
So you're back in the game here, Judith, | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
and we return to Nick. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Which of these Pakistani cricketers is a spin bowler? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
Sharp intake of breath. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
It's certainly not Mohammad Amir. He's their fast bowler. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
I don't know, but I'll go for Riaz. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
It's Shah. Yasir Shah. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
So, get this right, Judith, | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
and you're in Sudden Death territory. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
-Oh, Lordy! -No, that's a good thing. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
We'll be here for ever! | 0:17:02 | 0:17:03 | |
No, no, it's a good thing. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
Which of these cyclist recorded his 30th stage win on the Tour de France | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
in 2016? | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
I thought that was Mark Cavendish. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Mark Cavendish is right, Judith, well done. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
So, Nick, she's held you there, | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
and that means we go to Sudden Death. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
It gets a bit harder - I don't give you different choices. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
In which decade did Kevin Keegan | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
make his debut for the England football team? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
It wasn't the '60s. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
I don't think it was the '80s. I think he made it in the '70s. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:42 | |
-And your answer is? -'70s. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
'70s is right. Well done. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
Judith, to stay in, how many gold medals | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
did Usain Bolt win at the 2012 Olympic Games? | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
I think it... I think it's three. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-You're absolutely right. Three is correct. -Mm. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
It's 100, 200, and then it's the relay. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
So, well done, you are still in it, and we go back to Nick. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
In American sports, in which city is the National Football League team | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
known as the Colts based? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
I need some clues here. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
So, the Colts would be horses, cowboys... | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
So I will go Dallas. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
Anyone on your team know? | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
-Denver, I think. -Denver Colts? | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
Just looking for a word that goes with Colts. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-Anyone here? -Indianapolis. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:26 | |
-Indianapolis Colts is the answer. -Ah. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
So, Judith, you are on the verge of a place in the final here on Sport. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
This whole room is going to fill with confetti. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
In rugby union, what number shirt does a team's fullback usually wear? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:42 | |
-15. -Is she right, Challengers? | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-Absolutely. -Judith, you've got it absolutely right. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
Well done! | 0:18:48 | 0:18:49 | |
-You've won on Sport. -I can't believe it! -There we go! | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
Well done, Judith. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
-Sorry, Nick. -Yep. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:55 | |
Beaten by our Egghead, and as a result, | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
you will not be in the final round. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
Please come back. We'll play on. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
I'm starting to think, Judith, you are spending your Saturday nights | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
propping up a sports bar somewhere. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:06 | |
Talking about American football with everyone who, you know, | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
passes the time of day. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
You know how many sports rounds you've won on the trot now? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
-How many? -Five! | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
No! Oh, that's not very many. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Anyway, we must hurry on, cos Judith has to get back to the sports bar. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
As it stands, the Thursday Knights have lost three brains | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
from the final round. The Eggheads have not lost any brains so far. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
The next subject for you is Geography. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-Who would like this? -There's only one left. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
It's suddenly become very real. Is that you? | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
-All right, JG. -It's got to be me. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:38 | |
Good, good, lovely. And against which Egghead? | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
It could be either Pat or Steve. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
All right, then, we'll take Steve. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
Good stuff. JG from the Thursday Knights | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
versus Steve from the Eggheads on Geography. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
To ensure there's no conferring, | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
please take your positions in the Question Room. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
So, Geography, JG. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
Team captain now, big moment. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
Do you want to go first or second? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
I'll go first and get it over. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
So, get through this round, then you've got two in the final. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
Here's your first question. Which of these is not a state of the USA? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
I know New Mexico is. It's next to Texas. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
New Hampshire, I'm fairly certain, is New England, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
so therefore, I'm going for New Brunswick. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
Yes, indeed, you're right. Is that Canada? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
Yes, it is. OK, New Brunswick, you're right. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
Steve, how are you doing, my friend? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-Still here, Jeremy. -Good, good. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:34 | |
On the London Underground, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
the Piccadilly Line has a distance of about 0.25 kilometres between | 0:20:36 | 0:20:43 | |
Leicester Square and which other station? | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
STEVE SIGHS | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
I do not have a clue. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
I know London like the back of somebody else's hand. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
For no particular reason, I'll say Covent Garden, | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
cos I like the sound of it. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
Covent Garden, Steve! | 0:21:01 | 0:21:02 | |
-Really? -Well done. Yeah, yeah. -Sorry. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
OK, back to you, JG. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
The state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo is part of which country? | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
Hmm, they're all very close... No, Philippines, yes. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
Sarawak... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
I think that has to be Indonesia. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
Malaysia is the answer, JG, sorry. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
So Steve has the chance to take the lead. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
Barcelona is the capital of which of Spain's autonomous communities? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
Well, the one leaping out at me there | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
is Catalonia, so that's me answer. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
Catalonia is quite right. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:41 | |
JG, you've got to get this one right. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
Which of these African countries is landlocked? | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Not Equatorial Guinea, certainly. That goes out onto the ocean. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
The Congo has gone through so many changes, but Burkina Faso... | 0:21:56 | 0:22:01 | |
No, I think Republic of the Congo. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
Burkina Faso is the answer, JG. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
It's hard, that. Congo must have a coastline somewhere. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
-Yeah, it's quite small, though. -Yeah. Sorry, JG. -Oh, well. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
I think Steve has knocked you out, and will be in the final round, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
and actually, if you both return to us, | 0:22:15 | 0:22:16 | |
we will play that final round. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
So, this is what we have been playing towards. It is time for | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
to take part in this round, and I'm afraid I have to look this way | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
at JG and Nick and Phil and Mike from the Thursday Knights. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
Would you please now leave the studio? | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
John, you're playing to win the Thursday Knights £4,000, no less. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Chris, Steve, Pat, Beth and Judith, | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
you're playing for something that money can't buy, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
which is the Eggheads' reputation. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
This time, they're all General Knowledge. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
You can confer. Sorry that doesn't help you. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
So, John, the question is can you defeat these five brains | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
-with your one? -It seems startlingly unlikely. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
-Do you know? It's happened more often than you would think. -Right. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
And sometimes the sheer number of them, it causes trouble, so let's... | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
-We can but hope. -We can but hope. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
Would you like to go first or second? | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
I would like to go first please, Jeremy. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Here we go. Caymans are South American animals closely related | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
to which of these creatures? | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
That would be the alligator, Jeremy. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
Alligator's right. Straight there. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
Eggheads, what is added to | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
coconut cream and pineapple juice to make | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
a Pina Colada cocktail? | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
-Rum. -Rum. Everyone happy with Rum? | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
-And an umbrella. -It's not there, Judith, it's not an option. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
We think that's rum. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
Rum is the right answer. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
Your question, John. Which of these people | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
celebrated their 70th birthday in 2016? | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
I don't think Richard Branson is that old. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
I would be surprised if Bill Gates was. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
I'll go down the middle with Donald Trump. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
You are a very good quizzer. Donald Trump is correct. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
OK. Eggheads, | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
which of these areas of the United Kingdom | 0:24:13 | 0:24:14 | |
voted to leave the EU in the 2016 referendum? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
-Northern Ireland. -Well, Northern Ireland voted to stay in. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
-Oh, no, they stay, sorry. -Scotland want to stay in. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
-Wales wanted to leave. -It must be Wales. -It's Wales. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
Wales and England, I think. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
-Wales wanted to leave. -Voted to leave, yes. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
Scotland definitely want to stay. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
Northern Ireland, I think, was narrowly stay. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
Because they were worried about the border, and that kind of thing. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
-What do we think, Chris? -Yep. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
We think that's Wales. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
Yes, Wales is right. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
Back to our Challenger. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
John, who wrote the bestselling novel Me Before You, which was | 0:24:46 | 0:24:51 | |
adapted into a film starring Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin? | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
Yes, I have absolutely no idea about this. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
I will straightforwardly guess Sophie Kinsella. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
-No, it's not, it's Jojo Moyes. -OK. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
Your chance now, Eggheads, to take the contest. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
Which of these featured on the UK number one single | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
One Dance by Drake? | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
-Don't associate Lil Wayne with that song. -No? -No. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
I mean, I'm not saying... I'll go with the majority, | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
but for me, if I were on me own, I'd say Wizkid. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
-I really... -Have you reason to believe...? | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
I don't know if I've heard... | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Because when the song comes up on the charts, it's Drake, | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
and that's obviously "featuring," | 0:25:44 | 0:25:45 | |
and I've obviously not looked at that bit. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-Blocked the feature bit out? -Yeah. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
Well, it's rap, isn't it, basically? | 0:25:50 | 0:25:51 | |
I'd be inclined towards Lil Wayne myself. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
-That's what I thought. -Is that what you think? | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
Go with that, then. Yeah, if that's what do you think. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
I think he's a more regular collaborator, he pops up. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
He's just done that one, hasn't he, Sucker For Pain, from Suicide Squad, | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
with about three more of them. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
So we'll go with your faint notion, or we go with just a calculated | 0:26:06 | 0:26:11 | |
-the most regular collaborator? -Yeah. Yeah... | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
-It's a bit unsatisfactory. -It is, I know. -What do you fancy? | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
-What we do? Do we go with...? -Majority rule. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
Abstaining. I don't want to... | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
So it's two against me, so I'll go with Lil Wayne. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:26 | |
OK, we're in trouble here. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
Lil Wayne has the higher profile and seems to pop up more often in | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
collaborations, but Steve has a sort of memory for Wizkid. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
We're going to go for Lil Wayne. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
OK. Lil Wayne. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:39 | |
-Steve was right, though. -Oh! | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
-Wizkid. -Always go with instincts. -Yes. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
Sorry, Steve. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:45 | |
You did a lovely little sort of soliloquy there, Steve. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
No, but, it's a democracy rule, isn't it? So... | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
Three questions each, the scores are level, | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
and we go to Sudden Death. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:56 | |
So, John, well done, you've held them off. I know that's frustrating, | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
that Jojo Moyes moment. Wipe it out of your mind. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
Here is your first Sudden Death question. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
I don't give your alternatives. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
Which star sign falls between Aquarius and Aries in the calendar? | 0:27:05 | 0:27:11 | |
-Capricorn. -Do you know this, Eggheads? | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
-Pisces. -Pisces. -Pisces. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
Sorry. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:16 | |
OK, Eggheads, you have another chance. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
Oh, what a let-off! | 0:27:19 | 0:27:20 | |
In which TV sitcom did Windsor Davies play the role of | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
the irascible sergeant major Tudor Bryn Williams? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
It Ain't Half Hot Mum. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Sounds like it. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:29 | |
-Can you think of anything else? -Not a sergeant major, I can't. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
No? OK, we're going for It Ain't Half Hot Mum. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
It Ain't Half Hot Mum. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
-Do you know this, John? -Yeah, they're absolutely right. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
There is no point in me even drawing this out, because you've got it | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
completely right. It was It Ain't Half Hot Mum. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
Well done. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:49 | |
Well, as I said, | 0:27:54 | 0:27:55 | |
sometimes when they're all together those massive brains all sort of | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
-start colliding, so it almost... -Yes. -You could see the trouble. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
You won! Look joyful. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
-Commiserations... -We don't want to look smug. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
..to the Thursday Knights. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:08 | |
The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
and they still reign supreme over Quizland, so it does mean | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
our Challengers are not going home with the £4,000, | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
so we roll it over to the next show. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
It's building up, isn't it? | 0:28:17 | 0:28:18 | |
And look at you, all five of you, again. You're on good form. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:22 | |
Who will ever beat you? | 0:28:22 | 0:28:23 | |
Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers can do it. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
£5,000 says they haven't got a chance. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
Till then, goodbye. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:30 |
