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 > 0:00:34Here they are - the Eggheads!
0:00:34 > 0:00:37With our two newer Eggheads on the end here. Great to see you.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Challenging our resident quiz champions today are
0:00:40 > 0:00:42the Number Crunchers, from Lincolnshire.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Now, the majority of this team work together at an accountancy
0:00:45 > 0:00:46practice in Spalding,
0:00:46 > 0:00:50and they often quiz against rival teams of accountants and solicitors.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Phil, and I'm an audit and accounts manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Michael, and I'm an accountant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Gemma, and I'm a trainee accountant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Carl, and I'm an accountant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Trev and I'm a retired software engineer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07So Phil and team, welcome.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Phil, accountancy, let's start with that.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- That brings you all together, does it? Numbers?- Yes.- Right.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And you're checking forms and writing things down and...
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Preparing accounts.- That's my understanding of accountancy. OK.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23So, that would mean strongest subjects are...the science end, or...?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Not really, no. - No. Music.- And films.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- You listen to music while you're doing it.- Yeah.- OK.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Right. And when people say, "Accountants, oh, they're really boring,"
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- what do you say in response? - Normally right, but not us.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35THEY LAUGH
0:01:35 > 0:01:37OK, well, that's very honest. These are the exceptions, exactly.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Well, the Eggheads, sometimes not that interesting, to be honest, either.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41THEY LAUGH
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Quizzing. What about quizzing? Because the interesting thing is you do quiz together sometimes.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Yes, that's right, yeah. We've done a few quizzes against other professional firms,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51and often in the pubs as well, on quiz machines.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54And how lively does that get with the Spalding accountants all
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- going head-to-head. - Not that lively, but it's fun.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58JEREMY LAUGHS
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Do you win? That's the key thing. - Not often.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04OK! Well, listen, see if you can break the habit today. Good luck.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:07 > 0:02:10for our Challengers, however, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16So, Number Crunchers, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19so let's see if you can take them down while they're still
0:02:19 > 0:02:21getting their act together.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24£2,000 on the table. Would you like to play?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Yes.- I love the way accountants pause for a long time
0:02:27 > 0:02:30before answering the most simple question. Of course you do.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35So, Phil and team, who wants this?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Who wants to do Science, then? - I think we're better leaving Trev for the end.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- OK, I'll stay.- You do Science, then. Michael will do Science.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Old Trev is being saved, that's... - Yes.- OK, interesting information.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- OK. So who is going to do it? - Michael.- Me, please.- OK, Michael.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Against which Egghead? You can choose anyone, here.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52We're still getting to grips with the new ones,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54we're not sure their strengths and weaknesses yet.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I think I'll take the new guy, Steve.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Very good!
0:02:58 > 0:03:01OK, Michael from the Number Crunchers versus Steve,
0:03:01 > 0:03:02one of the newest Eggheads.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07And to ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So, Michael, you're an ice hockey player as well as an accountant?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- I try to be, yeah, I give it a go. - What made you take that up?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Em, I always sort of followed the sport quite
0:03:16 > 0:03:19a lot before taking it up and, er, when I was at university,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23went to one of the sports fairs and, yeah,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26they took on beginners and I went from there, really, so...
0:03:26 > 0:03:29It looks like one of the most violent sports, I must say,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31but I guess you wear protective gear.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Yeah, that's part of the fun of it, to be honest,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37but I play in goal, so out the way of most of the violence, normally.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:39 > 0:03:42But you have serious face protection and so on?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Yeah, yeah. Good-sized bit of kit, anyway.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47OK, so it's your choice, Michael,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49do you want to go first or second on Science?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Eh, I think I'll go first, please.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Michael, your first question.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Which of these dinosaurs grew to approximately 3 metres in length,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and moved around on two legs? Is it...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09OK, em...
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Stegosaurus I seem to think didn't walk on two legs, eh...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17And triceratops is the same, I think,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19so I'll go for the middle option, please.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21However you say that.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Yeah, I wanted to say KO-LEO-physis, but I think it's going to
0:04:23 > 0:04:26be SEE-LO-physis. Barry would know that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Coelophysis is the right answer, Michael, well done.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Would have made a great ice hockey player.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33THEY LAUGH
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Steve. The yak, a short-legged ox-like mammal,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39is native to which continent?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Yeah, well, it's, er...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48an animal you associate with the Himalayas, places like that,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50so hopefully that's going to be in Asia.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Asia is quite right. The yak is from Asia. OK.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Michael, the thermosphere lies between the mesosphere and
0:04:59 > 0:05:03which other major layer of the earth's atmosphere?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Eh... Not too sure on this one. Erm...
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Just trying to think of the order of the different layers. Erm...
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I would plump for stratosphere, I think.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I know what you mean. Anyone know this on the Eggheads side, here?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I'd have gone the exosphere.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Do you know, I bet Barry's got a mnemonic for it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31The answer is exosphere.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34But I can't really give you a reason, it just is.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Just one of those things, never had a look, myself.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Steve, what type of animal is the Australian bilby? Is the bilby a...
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Mmm. It's not an ungulate. Erm...
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Just sort of torn between the other two. Erm...
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Bilby. Bilby.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I know it's a small furry thing,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05but I can't get a clear picture of it in my head, so, er...
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I think it might be a marsupial, so that's my answer, Jeremy.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10What is the difference between a marsupial and a primate,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- do you know? - They carry their young in a pouch.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Yeah, like kangaroos and so on. - Yeah, yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Marsupial is the right answer. That's the Australian bilby.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Anyone got a clearer picture of it in their head?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Yeah, I remember Prince George being given
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- a bilby when they visited Australia. - Oh, right!- Yeah.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- What, permanently, or just...?- No, the toy one.- Oh, I see. A toy one.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I was going to say, getting that back to the UK...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Royal children, so much privilege, honestly.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37THEY LAUGH
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Marsupial is the right answer, well done, Steve.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43So, you need to get this right, Michael, to stay in.
0:06:43 > 0:06:49In which part of the human body is the ethmoid bone found?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Ethmoid bone...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56OK, erm...
0:06:56 > 0:07:02Just trying to think of the roots of ethmoid. Er...
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I don't think it's skull, because that tends to be cranial,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10all that sort of thing. Erm... I'm going to plump for...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Sort of 50-50 between them. I think I'm going to go with foot.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Steve, do you know this?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Well, I'm no doctor, Jeremy, but I would have gone skull, personally.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- The ethmoid is actually in the skull, Michael.- OK.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25In a way I'm glad you don't know because it means you haven't
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- yet taken a puck in the head.- Yeah!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- And may you never find out. - There's plenty of time.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Exactly. Michael, bad luck, there,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35you've been beaten by our newest Egghead, and as
0:07:35 > 0:07:37a result you will not be allowed to help your team in the final round.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Come back to us, rejoin your teams, and we'll play on.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Are we still confused about the bilby? Let's...
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Who can describe one? You saw one, did you, Beth?- I've seen one.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- You saw a toy one.- I've only seen it in cuddly toy form!- OK!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53How big is a bilby, first? Because I'm going to try and draw it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- I don't think they're terribly big. - It looks like a kangaroo, does it? Or what?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- We were thinking more sort of... - Little kangaroo, little wallaby.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Little wallaby.- OK, what? Pointy-up ears?- Think so.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Sort of longish snout with a piggy-type...- A long...
0:08:05 > 0:08:07JEREMY LAUGHS
0:08:07 > 0:08:11It look like a... It's furry, though, you think?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Like a sort of anteater-type nose. - Wears a flat hat.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15THEY LAUGH
0:08:15 > 0:08:17And it's got a pouch. Right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- I'm getting something a bit like that...- That's it, that's his...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Chilling. Chilling is the similarity.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Is that the bill that...?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Why's he got one massive leg
0:08:25 > 0:08:26and one really small leg?
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- Because of perspective!- Yeah? - Perspective.- Ah, brilliant.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34All right, and the other question, I know eth...noid, or ethmoid, I should say.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39- Ethmoid.- ..is a bone at the base of the nose.- Oh.- OK?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41As it stands, the Number Crunchers have lost one brain from
0:08:41 > 0:08:44the final round. Bad luck, they've lost their ice hockey play.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48The Eggheads have not lost any so far. See if you can turn it around.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51The next subject is Sport. Now, who would like this?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Got to be you, innit, Phil? - It's you, Phil, isn't it?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Is it me? Sport? - I'm happy for you to do Sport, yeah.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- You're happy to do Sport. - No, I'm happy for you to do Sport, if you want.- Yeah.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Do you want to do Sport, Trev, or will I?- Oh, no.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- I'll stay to the end.- I think Trev's determined to stay to the end.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06THEY LAUGH You can ask him as much as you want.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Phil?- I'll take on Sport. - All right, you're doing Sport.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12And, against which Egghead? It obviously can't be Steve.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- I think I'll try Lisa, please.- Very good. Lisa, who likes her Sport.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17- I do.- Yeah?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Doesn't mean the questions always fall perfectly, but I do like it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Phil from the Number Crunchers versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- So, Lisa, which sports is it for you?- I like...
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I sort of start minority and work properly down towards the
0:09:35 > 0:09:38weird stuff. So, you know, I love tennis, I love athletics,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I love Formula 1.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I even like finding the really bizarre stuff tucked away on
0:09:44 > 0:09:47the sports channels, like rodeo and strength athletics and stuff,
0:09:47 > 0:09:48that's brilliant.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50All right, well, good luck, Phil, against Lisa.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51And would you like to go first or second?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Erm, I'd like to go first, please.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- And your thing is cycling, Phil, I gather?- Yeah, a little bit, yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03All right, well, good luck. Hope you don't get a puncture here.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Who became the manager of Manchester United Football Club in May 2016?
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Is this...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Right. I think I know the answer to this one.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I know Jurgen Klopp's manager of Liverpool, so I can rule him out.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23And Claudio Ranieri is the current Leicester manager.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Erm, so the Manchester United manager is Jose Mourinho.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30It is indeed, Jose Mourinho.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Lisa.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37In rugby union, which of these positions is a back? Lisa, is it...
0:10:41 > 0:10:45You're smiling. And I'm smiling. Do you know why I'm smiling?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Cos this is the one thing I revised before I came in today!
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Er, yeah, so.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Hooker's number two, that's a forward. Second row, four and five,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57forwards. Outside centre.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Outside centre's a back, it's outside centre.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02You actually revise before the show? That's amazing.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03It doesn't happen often,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05but I was so fed up with not getting rugby union ones that should
0:11:05 > 0:11:07be an absolute gimme that I did actually do it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Well, I was going to say, I thought you would know this anyway,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13but we had slot receiver the other day and that caused puzzlement.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15That's American football, isn't it? Do we have that in rugby?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It is American football, you're quite right.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Ok, you're just confusing me now, stop it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20JEREMY LAUGHS Outside centre is right.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Phil, which of these famous cricketers was
0:11:23 > 0:11:25a left-handed batsman?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Right. I'm not too into my cricket.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Erm...
0:11:34 > 0:11:40So I'm going to have to really guess on this one. Erm...
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I'll go for Jacques Kallis, please.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Jacques Kallis, let's see. Who's... Any other sporting people?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Trev, do you know this?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I don't, I'm afraid. I know quite a few left-handers.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Brian Lara is the answer, Phil.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Well, I'd guess that, but I wouldn't put my house on it.- Yeah. OK.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01So, your chance to take the lead here, Lisa Thiel.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Which of tennis's four Grand Slam tournaments did
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Novak Djokovic win for the first time in 2016?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Yeah, it was starting to become a bit of
0:12:15 > 0:12:20a recurring theme in 2016 that Novak Djokovic played Andy Murray
0:12:20 > 0:12:22in the finals of the Grand Slams, so it was... Basically,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25the Grand Slams started, you're like, "Djokovic is going to play
0:12:25 > 0:12:28"Murray in the final, Djokovic will win, and we'll all go home."
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Erm, yeah, sorry. The Australian Open he's won lots of times already.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Erm, it was the French Open.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Yes, it was! Well done! French Open.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38So, Lisa has two. You've got to get this one, Phil.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I don't need to tell you that, you're an accountant(!)
0:12:41 > 0:12:42THEY LAUGH
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Dafne Schippers, born in the Netherlands in 1992,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49is a world champion in which sport?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I think it's cycling.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Ooh.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59OK. I heard a gasp on this side. Beth?
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Yeah. Dafne Schippers was a world-renowned and, I think,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07though Dave will probably correct me, em, heptathlete.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I think she was an Olympic heptathlete and she swapped to do
0:13:10 > 0:13:13more sprint events, so it's athletics.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Yeah, it's athletics. Athletics, Phil, I'm sorry about that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20So, no way back for you in this round. Lisa has won.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Lisa will be in the final. Phil, if you come back to us,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26you can continue to captain your team through what may be
0:13:26 > 0:13:29difficult times.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31As it stands, the Number Crunchers have lost two brains.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I feel like, as you're accountants,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I should be saying this in a slightly less harmful way,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39but there's no easy way to tell you, you are losing, guys,
0:13:39 > 0:13:40you need to pull this back.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44The Eggheads are sitting there a bit too smugly.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46The next subject is Geography.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Now, is this going to be better?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Well, Gemma said she wanted to do Geography if it came up.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55OK, Gemma, and you can have any one of the three in the middle.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I'll take Beth.- Beth.- OK. Beth on Geography.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01We're all still learning about Beth, let's see what happens.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06Gemma, the Number Cruncher, Beth, the newest Egghead,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08please go to the Question Room.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Have you done a Geography round yet, Beth? I'm trying to work out.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- I have, yeah. Won one. Well, played one, won one.- Oh, OK, that's good.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Let's me just write that down in my little summary of record so far.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Won one out of one. That's good. - Yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23That's a hundred percent record.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- Accountants, am I right?- That's correct.- Yes. All right.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Well, good luck here. Your second on Geography.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- And, Gemma, I know you do kick boxing.- Yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- So, would that come in handy in this round?- Probably not.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It's always good to defend yourself.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Well, if it gets desperate you're welcome to try anything.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50OK, let's see if you can just turn the tide now for the
0:14:50 > 0:14:51brilliant Number Crunchers.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Here's your first Geography question, Gemma.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57What is the state capital of Idaho? Is it...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Don't think it's New Orleans.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07I think I'd have to go for Boise.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Yeah, Boise's quite right. Bang on there. Well done, Gemma.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Beth, your question.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17In which part of France is the city of Marseille located?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Oh, I... I... They've...
0:15:24 > 0:15:27A lot of the Euro 2016 matches were played down in...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30DOWN in Marseille, so I believe that's in the south.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Very good. So it is. The south.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Over to you, Gemma.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41What colours are the two stripes on the national flag of Indonesia?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52At a total guess - white and green.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Yeah, it's not, actually.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Now, I did a bit of work on flags recently,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58cos I was so upset by my lack of knowledge,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01and I thought that Indonesia and Poland had the same flag.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Is that right, Eggheads?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Depends which way up you're holding it.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I thought it was the other way round.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09The reverse, but the colours are, Eggs?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- BOTH:- Red and white. - Red and white is the answer, Gemma.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15OK, so, Beth, you have a chance to take the lead.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19The names of how many US states begin with the letter M?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Oh, now I'm running through them in my head. Erm...
0:16:26 > 0:16:29We've got Mississippi, Maine, Missouri...
0:16:30 > 0:16:33..there must be at least one more.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Er, Montana...
0:16:37 > 0:16:38..Maryland...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Let's go with six.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Six, you've got. Let's just go through them.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- You said Mississippi, Maine, Montana, Maryland...- Missouri.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Missouri.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Michigan.- Montana.- Massachusetts. - Massachusetts.- Oh!
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Missouri, we've said. Oh, maybe I didn't count Missouri.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59One more, one more.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Minnesota.- Minnesota. Eight of them.- Eight!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Eight of them. OK, that's a little bit... All right, so this is...
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Suddenly, now, the accountants could just be back in the game.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Get this right, Gemma,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15and you may just have booked your place in the final.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Here we go.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19What is the approximate population of Oman?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I'm going to have a guess at 44 million.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- You're quite a long way out. It's 4 million. It's really small.- Oh.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- What's Ireland? Is Ireland about 4?- There or thereabouts, yeah.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Yeah. So it's small. 4 million is the answer.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44So, Beth, you have the advantage now. Your chance to take the round.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47What is the official currency of Kazakhstan?
0:17:52 > 0:17:59Oh, this is, erm... Picking right in my weak spots of world currencies.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04None of them are really springing as...
0:18:08 > 0:18:13I'm trying to think of the language clues from where Kazakhstan is,
0:18:13 > 0:18:14and, erm...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18So...
0:18:18 > 0:18:19..I'm going to go with...
0:18:21 > 0:18:22..tenge.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Tenge is your answer for the round. Let's see. Eggheads?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Spot on.- I think that's right. - Spot on!- Yay!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yeah, currencies are a big part of this.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Is that just based on the fact that it looked a bit like...?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36You know, Kazakhstan is the kind of place that they use a lot of
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- "E"s, or...?- Yeah, I think it was just because of...
0:18:39 > 0:18:40I don't really know.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It's more of a language clue.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- I think taka, maybe not so central Asian language.- Yeah.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Interesting the way your brain works there. Well done.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- You've got two out of two now. - Yay!- How about that?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Still 100% record on Geography. Sorry, Gemma.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Been knocked out, there.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Beaten by our Egghead, and therefore not able to play in the final round.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Please return and rejoin your teams.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06As it stands, the Number Crunchers have lost three brains from
0:19:06 > 0:19:07the final round.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10It's not a crisis yet, but it's looking like it might be one.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Working towards one.- It's working towards a crisis, yeah.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Just trying to keep you steady here.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The Eggheads are just sitting pretty there, I'm afraid.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22You need to try and knock one out now. You've got Music next.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24So I'm assuming I know who this is going to be.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Trev, you're going to say you're not going to do it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Yeah.- Right? So it must be you, Carl, then.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- I think it would be, yeah.- I don't know. Don't let me decide for you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- No, it'll be me, yeah.- OK.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36So, accountant Carl against which Egghead?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39It can either be Pat or Dave.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Erm, I think I'll go with Dave.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Please.- Right, so Carl from the Number Crunchers versus
0:19:44 > 0:19:47"Tremendous Knowledge" Dave from the Eggheads on Music, please.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Take your positions.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Carl, do you listen to music?
0:19:52 > 0:19:53- Er, yeah. - That's not a trick question.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Yeah, I normally have me iPod plugged in, yeah.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57And what sort of thing do you like?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Bit of everything. Mainly sort of rock.- Yeah.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Cos "bit of everything" on this show involves opera, the lute,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- the bouzouki, we had the other day. - Oh, dear.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Let's see how you do. Good luck.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13You've got to, if possible, just build a wall now,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16and stop the Eggheads in their tracks.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Would you like to go first or second, Carl?
0:20:18 > 0:20:19I'd like to go first, please.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25OK, so Music for you, Carl. Good luck. Take your time.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28What is the name of the thin stick with which
0:20:28 > 0:20:30a conductor directs an orchestra?
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Er, I'm not overly sure, but I think it might be a baton.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Absolutely right, yeah.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41It is possible to overthink these things, but that is it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44The conductor's baton. FRENCH ACCENT: Baton.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45How would you pronounce that, Dave?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- "BAT-on."- Yeah, cos I said "BAT-on," but now I'm thinking it's "bat-ON".
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- No, I'd just go "BAT-on." - OK, your question.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson found fame as members
0:20:56 > 0:20:58of which girl group?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Sugababes have had a revolving door of members.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Spice Girls, as far as I know, was only the five of them at any time.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I believe that's Little Mix.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Little Mix is right.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Carl, you're equal with Dave.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24I'd Give My Life for You and Please are songs from which musical
0:21:24 > 0:21:28that premiered in the West End in 1989?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Ah, erm, yeah, not big up on West End.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Erm, I think Wicked's more recent than that,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- so I'll go with The Phantom Of The Opera.- OK, Phantom Of The Opera.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Let's see if your team-mates know.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Anybody here?- I don't think we know. - But we'd guess Phantom.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- You'd guess Phantom?- Yeah.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56It is Miss Saigon.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Carl, so Dave has the chance to take the lead.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03The American jazz musician, John Coltrane,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06was best known for his expertise on which instrument?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I always associate...
0:22:11 > 0:22:15One instrument came into my head, I could be wrong,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17but I always associated him with the saxophone.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Saxophone is right. You take the lead.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23So back to you, Carl. There's a pattern in this game.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25This is the third... The horror of the third question.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Now, see if you can get this right and stay in it, Carl.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33At the end of the Verdi opera Rigoletto, which character is
0:22:33 > 0:22:39delivered to Rigoletto in a sack by the assassin, Sparafucile?
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Right, unfortunately, I don't really have a clue with opera,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53so I'm going to go with Maddalena.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57The character delivered to Rigoletto in a sack is Gilda.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Sorry, Carl, no way back for you. - That's fine, yeah.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02So Dave has taken that round.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05The Eggheads have so far had not a hair out of place here.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07It's going to be difficult in the final, but not impossible.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Let us see how our Challengers do, and play the final round.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13So, here we are.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16This is what we have been playing towards. It is time for the
0:23:16 > 0:23:18final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20But, I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:20 > 0:23:22won't be allowed to take part in this round,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27so that's Phil, Michael, Gemma, and Carl from the Number Crunchers.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34So, Trev, with the other Number Crunchers looking on,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37you're playing to win the team £2,000.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Lisa, Dave, Pat, Beth, and Steve, you are playing for something
0:23:40 > 0:23:43that money can't buy - the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46As usual, I'm going to ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50This time, the questions are all general knowledge. You can confer.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Trev, I'm sorry that doesn't really help you.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- No.- But do talk to yourself.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56The question is, can you, with your one brain,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59defeat these five in a famous victory?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- It has been done, so, Trev, good luck.- Thank you.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Do you want to go first or second? - First, please.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09OK, good luck.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Who became the new co-host of the TV show, Good Morning Britain,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16in November 2015?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- That's Piers Morgan. - It is Piers Morgan.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- He's going to be so pleased you got that right.- Yeah.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Well done. Your question, Eggheads.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Which of these English queens died of smallpox, aged 32?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Mary.- Is it Mary?- Yeah, Mary II.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Victoria lived till she was in her 80s.- And Elizabeth?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47She was in her 60s before she snuffed it. Yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48- So it is Mary.- 70, almost.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50We think that's Mary II.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Mary II. Did she come straight after Elizabeth, or before, or...?
0:24:54 > 0:25:01- Help me out with Mary.- Mary was 1689-ish, to...- Yeah, 1702, is it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Well, William reigned till 1702, cos Mary died before then.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07So it's William and Mary, it's that double...?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Mary was actually the one with the proper claim to the throne.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14So that was why parliament sort of wanted her to come over.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Right. Brilliant. Lovely bit of history, thank you.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Mary II is quite right, too.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Here's your question, Trev.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24In 2016, the Bank of England announced that JMW Turner
0:25:24 > 0:25:26and his painting, The Fighting Temeraire,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29would feature on the new design of which banknote?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I don't know. I'm going to guess £10.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41OK. It's hard to guess, really. I'm sure you know the painting.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- I do know the painting, but... - Eggheads, help us here.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- I think it's the 20. - I thought it was the 20.
0:25:46 > 0:25:52- Yeah. 20's the right answer, Trev. - OK.- I'm really sorry.- That's fine.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57OK. Eggheads, to take the lead. What is the French word for a goat?
0:26:01 > 0:26:02- Chevre.- Chevre.- Chevre.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Singe is a monkey, grenouille's a frog.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- OK, everybody happy with that? - Happy with that, yeah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09We're going for chevre.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- What do you think, Trev?- Yes. - Yes, chevre is right.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16So they're ahead, which is annoying.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Get this one right, and see if you can hold them. Otherwise, it's over.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Which of these playwrights wrote the stage play
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Harry Potter And The Cursed Child?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Jack Thorne.- Jack Thorne.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Guess, or knowledge?- Guess. - Really?- Yes.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40But you said it in that Barry Simmons way,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42as if you absolutely know it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- And you were right to, it's correct. Well done.- Thank you.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Is this the moment it turns?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Eggheads, get this wrong, we go to sudden death,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51and as we know, anything can happen.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54The 2016 film The Nice Guys,
0:26:54 > 0:26:59starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling, is set during which era?
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- It's the 1970s, isn't it?- Yeah, Shane Black's...- Los Angeles...
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- Yeah.- 1970s, I think. I think I've seen their suits, they're quite...
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Yeah, they've got a nasty pastel flare-type thing going on.- Yeah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Lots of polyester. - Yes. Big collars.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Could possibly be the '90s, though.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- I don't think so.- OK.- I think it is further back than that.- OK.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Definitely period.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28We think they commit various offences against fashion
0:27:28 > 0:27:31on-screen because they're from the 1970s.
0:27:31 > 0:27:341970s, you all seem to agree.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41If you've got it wrong, we go to sudden death.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43The answer is the 1970s.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.- Well played, Trev.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53So you were being saved for the final round,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55but it's hard on your own, Trev, isn't it?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Against five Eggheads, I'd say it's pretty difficult.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Yeah, and you obviously hope at some point they disagree on something,
0:28:00 > 0:28:04but you didn't really today, Eggs, you were playing in sync there.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Trev, I'm sorry. Commiserations to the Number Crunchers.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11playing powerfully now with these two new Eggheads,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14and they reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It means you won't be going home with the £2,000, so we'll take
0:28:16 > 0:28:19that money, we'll roll it over to the next show, see what happens.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Eggheads, well done. I can't imagine any of you ever losing a round.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25That'll jinx it.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have
0:28:27 > 0:28:29the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32£3,000 says they don't. Till then, goodbye.
