0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Challenging our quiz goliaths today are Don't Dare Lacrosse Us.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Now, this team are all members of the University of Oxford Lacrosse Club.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Let's meet them.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Jen, and I'm an engineering student.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Cal, and I'm a classics student.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Cat, and I'm a human sciences student.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Shamus, and I'm a biology student.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Zoe and I'm a medical student.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58So, Jen and team, welcome.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- Thank you. - Thank you for joining us here.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- You've broken off from your studies to come up here?- Yes.- OK.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04And tell us about the lacrosse, Jen,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07which has obviously brought you together.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Yep, so we're both parts of the men's and women's squads
0:01:09 > 0:01:12at Oxford and we have weekly matches against other universities
0:01:12 > 0:01:15and train four to five times a week.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18And there's a little bit of a nice parallel here
0:01:18 > 0:01:21because, Judith, you are or have been a lacrosse player.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Yes, when I was at school.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25I played on the wing.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27On the wing? Nice.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I used to be able to run in those days, which I can't do any more.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31What's it called when you do that thing?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33This thing? It's cradling.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Can you run with it without doing that or does it fall out?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38You can, but it sometimes makes it easier for the other team
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- to tackle the ball.- Oh, I see. So they can give you a thwack?
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Oh, yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But if you run with your stick down, the ball falls out of the stick.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50You have to sort of hold it up and move it to keep the ball inside the net, haven't you?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Listen, I wish you all the best. - Thank you.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Good luck. Stay sharp, stay focused.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, Don't Dare Lacrosse Us,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06the Eggheads are getting into their stride.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10They've won the last four. So there's £5,000 to win today.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I really hope you do it. Good luck.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20We have Judith and Beth, Kevin, Pat and Steve you can choose from.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Right.- Who did we say we're going to go?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Cat, are you good at music?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I was saying I'm happy to have a stab at that.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I think you should go for it. - You'll be fine.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30OK, and who are we going to take on?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Cat against which one?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Who looks as if they're not very musical?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Who do we think, guys? - Who's your instinct, Cat?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I think one of the women.- OK. Beth?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Yeah, go for it.- OK, yeah.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Very decisive. I can see you've got a strategy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45It's Cat from Don't Dare Lacrosse Us
0:02:45 > 0:02:47versus Beth from the Eggheads on Music.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49And to ensure there's no conferring
0:02:49 > 0:02:52would you please go to our famous Question Room?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55So, Cat, what are you studying when you're not doing lacrosse?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- I study human sciences. - OK, and what would that be, roughly?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00So it's quite a broad degree.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03It's half humanities, half sciences subjects.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05We basically study all the ologies -
0:03:05 > 0:03:09psychology, ecology, sociology, physiology, all of them.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12OK, well, good luck. We're on Music here.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Or musicology, maybe I should call it.- Yes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15And, Cat, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'd like to go first.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26What is the real name of the musician and singer known as Suggs?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34OK, so I've never heard of Suggs,
0:03:34 > 0:03:38so that doesn't help very much.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I've heard of Reginald Dwight, maybe.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46But, honestly, I'm going to have to have a complete stab at it.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49And I think I'm going to go with...
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Reginald Dwight, just purely because that name rings a bit of a bell.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55OK, let's see. Reginald Dwight,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- does anyone on your side know who it is?- No, no idea.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Eggs?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- It's Elton John. - Elton John is Reginald Dwight.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Boy George is George O'Dowd.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- So he's Graham MacPherson.- Right.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- And he was the singer with Madness.- Oh, OK.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09He still is, actually.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Still going very strong.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Beth, your question.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16What line follows, "When you walk through a storm,"
0:04:16 > 0:04:19in the song You'll Never Walk Alone from Carousel?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29# When you walk through the storm
0:04:29 > 0:04:32# Hold your head up high. #
0:04:32 > 0:04:33- There.- That's nice.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Well, that's the answer, isn't it? Yes, well done. Brilliant.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Hold your head up high.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Rarely do we get answers delivered as classily as that.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Thank you. Cat, your question.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Which 1993 film was turned into a stage musical
0:04:46 > 0:04:48with music by Tim Minchin
0:04:48 > 0:04:53and opened in London's Old Vic Theatre in the summer of 2016?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00So I know Tim Minchin, I can picture him.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I don't think it's Sleepless In Seattle.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10So I'm going to pick between Mrs Doubtfire and Groundhog Day.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I'm going to go with Mrs Doubtfire.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15It's wrong, I'm afraid.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18But you were choosing between the right two. It was Groundhog Day.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19OK, Beth, your question.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21You can take the round with this, actually, Beth.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Which music hall song features the line,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27"I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch chain"?
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Oh...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38That sounds like...
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I mean, they're all sort of musical songs, aren't they?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But if somebody is giving tuppence for something,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I wonder if they're shouting for any old iron.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Yeah, Any Old Iron.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54The answer is Any Old Iron, Beth.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Well done. You got two out of two.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Sorry, Cat.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Just cos there's no way back from that position,
0:05:59 > 0:06:00so you've been knocked out.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Beth will be in the final round, but it's very early days.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Still hope for our lacrosse team here.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Please come back, rejoin your teams.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10As it stands, Don't Dare Lacrosse Us
0:06:10 > 0:06:13have lost one brain from the final round,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15the Eggheads have not lost one yet.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16And I stress yet.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18The next subject is Sport.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20This has got to be good.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- I think we're...- Yeah.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Yeah, yeah. I think it was going to be me who did Sport.- OK, Jen.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Who would you like to take on here? A tricky choice.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29I think Judith.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Take on Judith, yeah. - Judith, I think.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35So it's Jen from Don't Dare Lacrosse Us...
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- It's all going to be lacrosse questions, isn't it?- Oh, dear.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It should be. ..versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42So two great lacrosse players.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Now, Jen,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50you were the winning cox for the Woman's Oxford Rowing Team in 2015.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Yeah, I was.- Congratulations.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55So tell us about the race.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58So it was the first race that the women were on the Tideway
0:06:58 > 0:07:02with the men and shown on TV and to have the same platform.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04And we managed to win it, which was great,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07but it was just great to have women's sport given that opportunity
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- to reach the millions across the country.- Oh, wow.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Well, congratulations.- Thank you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- And the lacrosse is going well for you?- I'm loving it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Yeah, the team was really friendly when I switched sport
0:07:17 > 0:07:18and it's just a great vibe.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21All right, Jen, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:21 > 0:07:22I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Here we go. Good luck. Sport.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Which of these rugby union players was a member
0:07:29 > 0:07:34of the England team that won the 2003 Rugby World Cup?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41OK. So I don't think it was Owen Farrell,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I think he's more recent.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49I think I'm going to go Will Carling.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52- It's Matt Dawson.- Oh, OK.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55OK, Judith.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59The tennis player Jimmy Connors won his first Grand Slam singles title
0:07:59 > 0:08:01in which decade?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Well, definitely not the '50s.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11And I don't... I think he was the '70s.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- The 1970s is right.- Oh, phew.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16OK, back to you, Jen.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18In which position did the Southampton and England footballer
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Matt Le Tissier usually play?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27OK.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31So I don't think he was a goalkeeper.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I'm going to go midfielder.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Absolutely right.- Yes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Midfielder it is. Scored a lot of goals as well.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Judith, approximately how tall
0:08:43 > 0:08:47is the British world champion boxer James DeGale?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- SHE CHUCKLES - No idea.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56It depends, if he's a bantamweight
0:08:56 > 0:08:59he might be five foot six, I suppose,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01and if he's a heavyweight he might be six foot six,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03and I don't know what he is.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I'm going to say six foot.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07You're playing very well, Judith.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08- You're right.- Oh.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10OK, Jen, you've got to stop her.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You must get this question right to stay in.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17In July 2016 the American athlete Kendra Harrison
0:09:17 > 0:09:19broke a women's world record
0:09:19 > 0:09:22that had stood for almost 28 years in which event?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I actually remember watching her break this record,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and the travesty was that she, I don't think,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35made the Olympic US team for Rio
0:09:35 > 0:09:38because she'd had a fall or something in the trials.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40And I'm pretty sure it's the 100 metre hurdles.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Jen, you're absolutely right. 100 metre hurdles it is. Well done.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Two out of three.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Judith, get this right, you're in the final.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53The England cricketer Adil Rashid is what type of bowler?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Adil?- Rashid.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Rashid.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I think he's a spin bowler.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05If you've got this right
0:10:05 > 0:10:09you've equalled your record Sports victories of six on the trot.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Spin is right, Judith. Well done. You're in the final round.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Sorry, Jen. She knocked you out there.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17She's playing very well on Sport at the moment
0:10:17 > 0:10:19and has gone through and triumphed.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Please come back and rejoin your teams
0:10:21 > 0:10:23and we'll see what happens next.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27As it stands Don't Dare Lacrosse Us
0:10:27 > 0:10:29have lost two brains from the final round.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31The Eggheads are still just sitting there.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34They think it's all over, but you've got to show them...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36it is in a minute.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39The next subject is Arts and Books. Who would like this?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Do you go anything about it? - I know nothing.- At all?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Do we want to save Cal? - I think it probably would be...
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Yeah, I'll go Arts and Books.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48OK, Cal, classics student.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Lots of books.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52And you can have any one of the gents.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Well, they all know their stuff pretty well
0:10:54 > 0:10:56but I think I'll take Steve.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58OK, so it's Cal from Don't Dare Lacrosse Us
0:10:58 > 0:11:01versus Steve from the Eggheads on Arts and Books.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Please go to the Question Room now.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Cal, Arts and Books,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15And here is your first question.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Which of these characters features
0:11:17 > 0:11:20in stories set on the fictional island of Sodor?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29OK. Well, Bilbo Baggins lives in the Shire.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32That's definitely not an island.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Peter Rabbit, I'm not sure if there's any reference
0:11:35 > 0:11:37to an island at all.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40He lives in the garden
0:11:40 > 0:11:44near the person he goes and steals carrots from.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47But I'm pretty sure I remember from watching Thomas The Tank Engine
0:11:47 > 0:11:51back in the day that Thomas lives on an island.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53so I'm going to say Thomas The Tank Engine.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Yeah, one could go wrong on this question,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58and you've got it right. Well done. Thomas The Tank Engine.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Steve, in which decade did Enid Blyton die?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I don't honestly know.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11She was obviously very prolific and she wrote throughout her life,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15but I think she was writing in the '60s,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18so, on the basis of that, I will say 1980s,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20although I'm not ever so sure.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Steve, 1960s.- Right.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25OK, Cal, this is good now.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Your second question. Keep the advantage.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Which Yorkshire village is the site of the parsonage
0:12:32 > 0:12:35at which the Bronte family lived for many years?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I haven't actually read any Bronte novels, but I know...
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I've seen snippets of Jane Eyre on TV,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51there was a TV series a couple of years back,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55and they all sound like Yorkshire villages,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58so I don't totally know between them. But...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I think...
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Hebden Bridge is ringing a bell for me, so I'm going to go with that.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Let's see if Steve knows.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- It's Haworth.- It's Haworth.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Haworth it is.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Back to you, Steve. See if you can catch up.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Which art institution has regional outposts at Montacute House,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Bodelwyddan Castle and Beningbrough Hall?
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Right...
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Cos Bodelwyddan, I suppose that does sound a bit Cornish.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I know there's a Tate Gallery in St Ives.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Hmm. Really don't know.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43On the basis that one of them sounds a bit Cornish,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and against my better judgment, I'll say Tate Galleries.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Eggheads?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- Portrait Gallery.- National Portrait Gallery is the answer.- Yeah.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54So two zeros in a row.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- This is unusual play from Steve.- Hmm.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58He's blown a gasket here, Cal.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So get this one right, you're in the final.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Who wrote the collection of poems Selling Manhattan,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07winner of a Somerset Maugham Award?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I think Somerset Maugham Awards are a British poetry award,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19so I think all of them are British poets.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I haven't heard of Sylvia Plath or Carol Ann Duffy
0:14:23 > 0:14:25writing any such poetry...
0:14:27 > 0:14:29..so I'm going to go with Dorothy Parker.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- It's Carol Ann Duffy.- Oh, no.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35So have you let him back in? Let's see.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Steve, get this one right and we go to Sudden Death.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Get it wrong, you're out.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Which British writer had a brush with death in 1865
0:14:44 > 0:14:47when he was involved in the Staplehurst rail crash?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Hooray, I know one. Charles Dickens.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Charles Dickens it is. Well done.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58So 1-1 after three questions. Cal, we go back to you.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Sudden Death now. Gets a bit harder,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- I don't give you alternative choices.- OK.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Between 2005 and 2015
0:15:06 > 0:15:11which writer twice won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Sebastian Faulks.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14No, Hilary Mantel.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Steve, this for the round.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22The surrealist painter Rene Magritte was born in which country?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Belgium. Oh... Yeah.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Too late, you've said it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Yeah, you're right, Steve. Belgium.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31You just answered it out like that,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33it just came out, almost an involuntary spasm.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Yeah, yeah.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36So I'm sorry, Cal.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Hey-ho. Live to fight another day.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Steve is in the final and you've been knocked out.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Come back to us and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47So, as it stands, Don't Dare Lacrosse Us
0:15:47 > 0:15:50have lost three brains from the final round.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52The Eggheads have still not lost a brain.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54The next subject is Science.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Now, have we got a scientist?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58It's got to be Shamus.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Shamus is a biology student. Brilliant, Shamus.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Against which Egghead - Pat or Kevin?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- I think I'm going to take on Pat, please, Jeremy.- OK.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07So Shamus from Don't Dare Lacrosse Us
0:16:07 > 0:16:09is taking on Pat from the Eggheads on Science.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16OK, Shamus. I know this cuts both ways, doesn't it?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20As a scientist doing science, it's never the happiest position.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yeah, hopefully I can do all right, Jeremy.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24And you're biology, aren't you?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26So if physics or something comes up, then...?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27I can give it a go, but unsure.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29OK. Well, let's see what comes up.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Shamus, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Here we go. Good luck.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41A contact lens is so called because it is located in contact
0:16:41 > 0:16:43with which part of the eye?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I'm not completely sure on this, Jeremy.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I think I should know because I wear them myself.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I'm drawn to cornea.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56So, yeah, I'll go cornea, please.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Yeah, retina, optic nerve, I think, are towards the back.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01That would be very painful.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Cornea is right.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Pat, your question.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07In the human body, what is the name of the first part
0:17:07 > 0:17:09of the small intestine?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I think the uvula is the little fleshy appendage
0:17:16 > 0:17:18at the back of the mouth.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22And the trachea is the...windpipe.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27So I think the piece of the intestine is the duodenum.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Is he right?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Yes, everyone likes that. Duodenum is right.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33OK, next question to you, Shamus.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37In surgical equipment, what name is given to a narrow tube
0:17:37 > 0:17:41that is inserted into a vein to administer medication?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I don't think it's nebuliser or doppler.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I'm going to go with cannula, please.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54OK, let's check with Zoe because you are a medical student.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I am indeed. I think it's the cannula.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Cannula is right.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Pat,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03the product copal,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05used to make varnish,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07is obtained from what?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Well, sea anemones are almost overwhelmingly water, I think.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20So I'm not sure you'd harvest very much of anything from them.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24In the past, the lac beetle was very important for shellac,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27which is a sort of polish-like material.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29And obviously trees,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32you can get resins and things from trees.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I think... I'm torn here.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I think I'll go for trees, but I have slight concerns.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Trees is right, Pat.- Well done.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Very, very good indeed.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45When they're on fire,
0:18:45 > 0:18:49this lot, you need a lot of water to put them out.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Shamus, the disease leprosy is also known by what name,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56after the surname of the Norwegian physician
0:18:56 > 0:19:00who discovered the bacillus that causes it?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I'm not sure on this one at all, Jeremy.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I'm trying to perhaps pick a name that sounds
0:19:13 > 0:19:16more Norwegian than others.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I'm going to go for Hansen's disease.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Well done.- Well done.- Eggs?- Yes.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Yeah, they like that. Hansen's disease.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27So, three out of three for our biologist.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Will Pat get knocked out here? Let's see.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34In 1997, the chemical element with the atomic number 109
0:19:34 > 0:19:38was named after which leading scientist?
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Of those three the only one with a chemical element is Lise Meitner,
0:19:49 > 0:19:54who I think was famously sort of excluded from a Nobel award.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59She had done a load of work, I think it was with Otto Hahn,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03but she was just left off the nomination, rather unfairly.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06But she got an element in the end, so I think it's Lise Meitner.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Lise Meitner is quite right.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11So three out of three for you both. It gets a bit
0:20:11 > 0:20:15more tight and tricky now, Shamus.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16We go to Sudden Death, OK?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I don't give you alternatives.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23What is the positive square root of 3,600?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I'd like to go for 60, please, Jeremy.
0:20:28 > 0:20:3060 is quite right, Shamus. Well done.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Pat, your question.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35The chemical elements with the atomic numbers 1 and 2
0:20:35 > 0:20:39both have names beginning with what letter?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41That's H.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43And do you know which they are?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Hydrogen and helium.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Yep, that's right. H it is.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50OK, your question now, Shamus. Here we go.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55A hectare is equal to how many square metres?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Again, I'm unsure.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06I'm going to go for 60 square metres, Jeremy.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10No, it's actually... That is...
0:21:10 > 0:21:13In a way, you can take comfort from the fact you're not close.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- It's 10,000.- OK.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18So we're talking...
0:21:18 > 0:21:21We're an acre or an acre and a half or something?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- No, it's more than that. - It's more than that, is it?- Yeah.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- OK, so it's 100 by 100, basically? - Yeah.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So, Pat to take the round.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34In April 2016, who became the first man to complete a marathon
0:21:34 > 0:21:39in space on a treadmill aboard the International Space Station,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43running along with those tackling the London Marathon on Earth?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I think I'll go for Tim Peake.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52The marathon in space in April 2016 was indeed by Tim Peake.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Well done, Pat. You've got it right.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Sorry, Shamus. You fought very well there.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Knocked out on science.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00So we're going to have a full complement of Eggheads in the final.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Come back to us and we'll play that final round.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It is time for our final round which, as always,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11is General Knowledge.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:22:13 > 0:22:15won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20So it's Jen and Cal and Cat and Shamus from Don't Dare Lacrosse Us,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22please leave the studio.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Good luck, Zoe.- Thank you.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28You're playing to win Don't Dare Lacrosse Us £5,000.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Steve, Pat, Kevin, Beth and Judith, you are playing for
0:22:31 > 0:22:34something money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and to keep this roll rolling.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43This time they're all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44I'm sorry that doesn't help you.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Zoe, the question is, can you, with your one brain, defeat these five?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I know the answer is yes because we've seen it happen.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58First question for Zoe.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01From the Italian for stained,
0:23:01 > 0:23:08what is an espresso coffee served with a dash of foamed milk known as?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Macchiato.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Well done. Macchiato is right.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Eggheads.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Nubuck, N-U-B-U-C-K,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24is a type of what?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- It's leather.- It's leather.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32It's a synthetic, a sort of synthetic leather.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- It's synthetic suede backwards.- Yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Are we all happy with leather?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39We think that's leather, Jeremy.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Leather is right.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43OK, Zoe, back to you.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48Which of these is a meaning of the English noun chagrin,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52or cha-grin, sometimes people say? C-H-A-G-R-I-N.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59It doesn't really sound like a word that might be associated
0:23:59 > 0:24:02with pleasure, perhaps.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Really not quite sure but I think I'll go for annoyance.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I'm glad you did. You're right.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Eggheads.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Which Greek philosopher, born around 428 BC,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19was the tutor of Aristotle?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- It's Plato.- Plato?- Yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- I mean, you'll know... - Oh, yeah, it's Plato.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Plato regarded Socrates as his mentor.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36I mean, Epicurus stands slightly apart in the tradition.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38You could say that Socrates
0:24:38 > 0:24:39was the teacher of Plato,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42and Plato was the teacher of Aristotle.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43So it's Plato.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47You're absolutely right. Well done. Kevin especially. Plato it is.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51OK, back to you, Zoe. See if you can get the third one right.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Which British comedian, born in 1894,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56was known as the Cheeky Chappie?
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Oh. I'm not great on my comedians.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It'll be a bit of a stab in the dark
0:25:10 > 0:25:12with this one, I think.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Um...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I'm going to go for Max Miller.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Is she right?- Yeah.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Yes, you're right.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22JEREMEY LAUGHS
0:25:22 > 0:25:23- You're playing really well, Zoe. - Yep.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Oh, this is such a great game!
0:25:25 > 0:25:28All right. So, having had the full four team-mates knocked out,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31you've got three out of three in the final round.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34And, Eggheads, if you get this wrong then they have won the jackpot.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39The Hope Six Demolition Project released in 2016,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44was the first UK number one album for which British female singer-songwriter?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- PJ Harvey.- PJ Harvey? - I think so.- Yeah.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53It definitely rang a bell.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- I thought her before it came out.- Oh, OK.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- Fine.- And you think it is, yeah?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59We think that's PJ Harvey.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02PJ Harvey. Do you know the answer here?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- No.- PJ Harvey is right.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Well done, Kev.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07So 3-3.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Kevin powering the Eggheads back there.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11We go to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- I don't give you different choices. - Yep.- Zoe, your question.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18The architect Oscar Niemeyer, who died in 2012,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21was born in which country?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Oh. Um...
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Niemeyer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I'm really not sure. Um...
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Norway?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36The answer is...
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Do you know?- Brazil?- Was it Brazil?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Brazil, they all say.- Brazil.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Brazil is the answer.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Your question, to take the contest.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Cochon d'Inde is a French term for which creature?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Cochon?- Cochon d'Inde.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Can you spell it?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Cochon, and then D'-I-N-D-E.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Cochon d'Inde, something of India.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Indian pig.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03A porcupine then or something.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Cochon d'Inde. - So it's C-O-C-H-O-N...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Yes.- ..and then D'I-N-DE.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Correct.- Is what sort of creature?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Cochon d'Inde is a French term for which creature?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19What would they mean by "d'Inde?"
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Do they mean East Indies or West Indies?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Or India, do you think?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- It's just a...- Just foreign.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I did know this. I've read this or heard it,
0:27:28 > 0:27:29and I now can't remember.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Cochon is a pig. - How about guinea pig?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Well, that's what I'm... - Cochon d'Inde.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Guinea pig would fit.- Yes.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37What do you think?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Happy to go with guinea pig?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Guinea pigs.- Yeah, we'll try that.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45We're not sure, linguistically, here, Jeremy,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47but cochon means pig
0:27:47 > 0:27:52and d'Inde seems to have some kind of geographical derivation,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54so it's a bit...
0:27:54 > 0:27:57it's a bit awkward, really.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Anyway, we'll go for guinea pig.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01The answer is guinea pig.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11They... Well, a sterling performance in the final round
0:28:11 > 0:28:13and all three questions right and then Sudden Death.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- They're hard to beat, all five.- Yeah.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- Zoe, thank you for playing. - Thank you.- Thanks to the team.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Commiserations to Don't Dare Lacrosse Us.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25They still reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Recently, all five of you have been here
0:28:27 > 0:28:29and I feel you're actually on a bit of a roll here.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It does mean the Challengers don't go home with the £5,000,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Eggheads, well done.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Who will beat you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have
0:28:40 > 0:28:42the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45£6,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
