0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads, and some slightly sore heads today, I think?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Well...- Empty head.- Yeah.- Ah.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Taking on our quiz champions today are Abide With Us.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Now, most of this team are members of Brixham Bowling Club,
0:00:43 > 0:00:45where they often quiz together.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Some of them are also regular participants
0:00:47 > 0:00:50in the South Devon Quiz League. Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm David, I'm a retired bank manager.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Ben, I'm a radio presenter.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Chris, and I'm a retired IT specialist.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Barry, I'm a retired science teacher.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hello, I'm Rob, I'm a semi-retired engineer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, David and team, welcome.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- Thank you, Jeremy.- Good to see you.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Tell us why it's called Abide With Us.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Abide With Us, Jeremy, in the 1900s,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Henry Francis Lyte was the minister in Brixham,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19and in 1847, he wrote the poem, Abide With Me.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Most people will know that now from the hymn that's sung
0:01:22 > 0:01:24before the Wembley Cup Final,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27so today we invite the Eggheads to abide with us.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Are you going to abide with them?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Eggs? Well, Brixham is a beautiful place in Devon, isn't it?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Marvellous place.- Has it made you all happier than most people?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I do sense a bit of happiness coming off here.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Now... So what happened?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42My reference to the sore heads is that
0:01:42 > 0:01:44the Eggheads lost the last game.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47They couldn't identify the phrase "gert lush".
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Ah.- Anyway, that's all history.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51So, every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:51 > 0:01:53up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Because they lost the last game, we start back on the £1,000 jackpot.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Would you like to try and win it now?
0:01:59 > 0:02:00- Yes, please.- Good stuff.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03The first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Music,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07and you can choose from Judith, Steve, Kevin, Dave and Lisa.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Music, so that's Ben or Chris.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Your choice, captain. - Yeah, it's up to you, Skip.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14I think we put the radio presenter in first.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- No pressure! - LAUGHTER
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Right. Against which Egghead?
0:02:19 > 0:02:20I think...Judith?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Yeah?- Judith, please, Jeremy.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25So, Ben from Abide With Us,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27abiding with Judith from the Eggheads on Music.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29And just to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Ben, you're the natural choice, cos you're a radio presenter.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Absolutely. There's no pressure on me now, is there?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It's always dangerous going on home turf, I know.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47And so you broke the world record for naming the most Beatles songs
0:02:47 > 0:02:48in one minute. Tell us about that.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Er, about a year or so ago, on Guinness World Records Day,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54they rang round a lot of the radio stations and asked the presenters
0:02:54 > 0:02:58if they'd like to take part in these world records, so obviously I did,
0:02:58 > 0:03:02did it for a bit of a laugh and ended up breaking the world record.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03But I got, I think, 15 in a minute,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and I've got my certificate proudly displayed at home.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Well done. I mean, it's not beyond the bounds that the Beatles
0:03:09 > 0:03:11might come up in this round, Judith, is it?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Well, they probably will. - Good luck, Ben.- Thank you.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20And here is your first question...
0:03:20 > 0:03:25"Let me whisper in your ear, say the words you long to hear",
0:03:25 > 0:03:28are lyrics from which early Beatles song?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31GENTLE LAUGHTER I never see what's coming up, so how about that?
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Is it...?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Erm... Well, I should get this right, really, shouldn't I?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42"Let me whisper in your ear". Well, it's not Love Me Do.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44It's Do You Want To Know A Secret? I'm doubting myself here.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47You're right, don't worry, Do You Want To Know A Secret?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- That's the most bizarre coincidence I think we've ever had.- Have we?
0:03:50 > 0:03:51That is totally weird.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I promise this just comes out of a giant great tombola, these questions.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I've never even seen, even been allowed to look at it.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59OK, Judith,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02in which part of the world did the music genre known as rock-steady
0:04:02 > 0:04:04originate in the 1960s?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Well...
0:04:09 > 0:04:10I don't know,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13you don't associate rock with Middle East and...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Particularly in North Africa.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I should've thought it's the Caribbean.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Caribbean is correct.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21OK, Ben. Your question.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Which artist had his first UK number one single in 2000
0:04:25 > 0:04:26with Fill Me In?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33That's a guy who's kind of back in the news at the moment, actually.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36He kind of had a lot of success around about that period
0:04:36 > 0:04:38and disappeared for a bit, and now he's back.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I think he's just had another number one album.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41It's Craig David.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43It is, he's had an amazing resurgence.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44You're right, Craig David.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Respect to him, cos he was kind of unfashionable for a while.- Yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Judith,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52which of these was the first UK top ten single for AC/DC?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59JUDITH LAUGHS
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Er, I haven't the faintest idea.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Erm...
0:05:03 > 0:05:04I've got a daughter called Rosie,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06so I'm going to say Whole Lotta Rosie.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Highway To Hell is the right answer, Judith.- Mm.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- It looks like you might be heading down it.- Yeah.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14LAUGHTER
0:05:14 > 0:05:16How about that, Ben? I just did a DJ link there.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Very good.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21OK, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:05:21 > 0:05:27Which US rapper released the album American Gangster in 2007?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34We don't play a lot of rap music on the stations
0:05:34 > 0:05:39that, er, I tend to work at.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Erm...
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Feasibly could be any of those, but I have a leaning...
0:05:45 > 0:05:47..towards 50 Cent.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- 50 Cent. Judith, do you know this? - No.- Is he right? No?
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- Jay-Z. Jay-Z.- Mm.- Or as I called him on my first day at Radio 2, Jay-Zed!
0:05:56 > 0:05:57LAUGHTER
0:05:57 > 0:06:00So, a way back in for you here, Judith.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Who composed the score for the Lord Of The Rings trilogy of films?
0:06:10 > 0:06:16I'm terribly bad at film composers. Erm, I really don't know. Erm...
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I'm going to say Howard Shore.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Just on the basis of going down the right?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Yeah.- Howard Shore is the correct answer.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Well, it sometimes works! - It did work on this occasion.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29OK. Sorry, you had her there, Ben, she's managed to take, what is it,
0:06:29 > 0:06:34the exit routes from the highway? So, so far, you're level.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36We go to Sudden Death, it gets a bit harder.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Ben, I don't give you different options.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Which iconic structure at the Glastonbury Festival
0:06:42 > 0:06:45was first built in 1971
0:06:45 > 0:06:47on the site of a local spring?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I've got absolutely no idea.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Um...
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- I don't know, Jeremy. - Want to take a guess?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- I'll say a pyramid. - I think I can accept that.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Pyramid Stage. Well done.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Thank you. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Said without massive conviction.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Well, I knew there was the Pyramid Stage, that's why I said pyramid, but...- Yeah, sure, sure.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13OK, so, Judith, clinging on
0:07:13 > 0:07:15by those fingernails of yours.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21Who was the producer of the 1979 Michael Jackson album Off The Wall?
0:07:21 > 0:07:22I have no idea.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Sorry. Pass.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Really?- Yeah.- I'll go to... Man on this kind of thing is Dave.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Quincy Jones. - Quincy Jones is the answer.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34So, well done, Ben, you're in the final round.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Thank you.- Gave up the ghost of it there, Judith.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Yeah.- You just went, "Ah, whatev!"
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Not the sort of questions I can answer.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45OK. Do come back to us, both of you, we'll play on.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48As it stands, Abide With Us have not lost a brain,
0:07:48 > 0:07:52they have started strongly. The Eggheads have gone down to four.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Any more damage coming?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Let's see. The next subject is Science,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57so who from Abide With Us wants this?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Right, Barry or Rob.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Rob?- It was going to be Barry, wasn't it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Shall I do it?- Barry. - Yeah, Barry.- Barry.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You are a retired science teacher, so...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- No pressure. - And who would you like?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Anyone but Judith.- Steve.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Yeah.- Yeah, Steve.- OK, everyone's in favour of that.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Barry from Abide With Us will play Steve,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18one of our newest Eggheads, on Science.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24So, Barry, were you a science teacher in Devon?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Yes, I was.- Did any experiments ever go wrong?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Oh, yes. I had quite a few disasters, especially early on.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Barry - our quizzer Barry - always says he blew up the science lab,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37that's where he first started taking an interest in science.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- What's the best experiment? - Ooh, that's a good one, that one.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I suppose, expansion of gases and taking the molecular weight,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46that's one where we had a bit of a disaster,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48but that was one of the most exciting.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Where you heat them, and everything...?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Yeah, I put a gauze under the huge beaker which you put the syringe in,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55and it was getting hotter and hotter,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and one of the youngsters suddenly said,
0:08:57 > 0:08:58"Shouldn't you have a gauze under that?"
0:08:58 > 0:09:00And as he said that,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03the beaker absolutely shattered and the boiling water poured
0:09:03 > 0:09:05all over my trousers, all down the front...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Ooh!- I tell you what, they've never forgot that experience.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Well, exactly.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Steve, did any of your science experiments go wrong in school?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Well, I didn't do them, I watched them.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I got excited when they burnt a peanut once, but that were about it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18LAUGHTER
0:09:18 > 0:09:21OK, Science, Barry, should be perfect.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24First, please.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Here is your first question,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32which ore is the principal source of aluminium?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Well, if I don't get this, I'm really in trouble,
0:09:38 > 0:09:39I was a chemistry teacher.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Bauxite.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Bauxite is correct.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Did I pronounce them right in the option there?
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Yeah, you did really well.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49LAUGHTER OK, thank you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I'm currying favour.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53OK, Steve...
0:09:53 > 0:09:58By what name is the sporting injury medial tibial stress syndrome
0:09:58 > 0:10:00sometimes known?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Well, if I've got my basic anatomy right,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I think I've suffered from this myself before
0:10:08 > 0:10:09doing a lot of running,
0:10:09 > 0:10:10and it's shin splints.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13It is indeed shin splints. It's painful, I gather?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Mm. Yeah, you just have to run through it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Right, back to you, Barry.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Which of the following is a variety of wasp, mainly native to dry,
0:10:21 > 0:10:22tropical regions?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Right. I wouldn't have thought it would be an ant.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Bee or fly?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I mean, it would be in the same...
0:10:37 > 0:10:39group as a bee.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42I'm going to go for suede bee.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Suede bee sounds a bit, kind of...stylish.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49He's rocking a sort of 21st-century look there.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52It's not the suede bee. It's the velvet ant.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Good gracious. - Yeah, it's a kind of wasp.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59OK, so a chance for Steve to take the lead.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Primula Veris is the scientific name for which wild flower?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Yeah, I was sort of hoping something else would come up there.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Right, well, Bluebell, that's some sort of wood hyacinth.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Snowdrop, that's galanth something or other.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Erm, Cowslip...
0:11:17 > 0:11:23Primula, Primula, Veris, spring, Veris, spring flower...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Ah. I don't really know. I'm going to...
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I'm going to have to go for cowslip,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32but I'm not ever so sure, but that's my answer.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Yes, it is right. Cowslip is correct.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38So, he's taken the lead. You need to get this one right, Barry.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42The critically endangered Amur leopard is native to Russia
0:11:42 > 0:11:43and which of these countries?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Well, it doesn't sound Chinese.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52So it's between those two.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- I'll go for Mongolia. - Let's see if the Eggheads know this.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Judith sometimes is very good on her wildlife.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I would've said China.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Would you? Why China?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It would cross the border.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The Amur River forms the border between Russia and China.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Ah. China's the right answer, Barry, I'm sorry.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11No way back in this round. So well done, Steve.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Barry, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14often happens on home territory, don't worry.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Judith once knocked out a rocket scientist on Science,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21which was one of our most famous moments.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Please rejoin your teams, and we'll play on.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28So, a little bit of a setback for Abide With Us from Devon,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30they've lost a brain from the final round.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34The Eggheads have also lost a brain, and the next subject is Film & TV.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Who would like this? - Well, it was Ben.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Chris, would you...? - I'll take it, yeah.- Yeah?
0:12:40 > 0:12:41It'll be Chris, please, Jeremy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43OK, it's going to be Chris, against which Egghead?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45And it's got to be one of the three on the left.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Your choice, Dave. You're the captain.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Dave or Lisa.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I think we'll have Dave, please, Jeremy.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I notice you missed out Kevin there.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54THEY LAUGH
0:12:54 > 0:12:56At some point you will cross him in this game.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59All right, Chris from Abide With Us is going to go against
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05And to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Chris, you're the secretary of the bowling club?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- I am indeed, yes.- Which is at the heart of the team, really -
0:13:11 > 0:13:13it's a bowling-based enterprise, this.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Absolutely, yeah. Most of us are bowlers at Brixham Bowling Club.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18And Dave, have you ever bowled?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Very amateurishly.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22But I appreciate the game.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24You know, it's an interesting one to watch.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Yeah, and people really go for it, don't they?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29You see people sometimes, they hurl the ball.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Yeah, that's called firing.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Oh, is it?- Yeah.- Is it regarded as sporting, that, or not?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Well, you sometimes have to remove an opponent's wood
0:13:37 > 0:13:39to try and maximise your score, yes.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- And that is what you have to do now.- Indeed.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Film & TV. Do you want to go first or second?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Which of these TV detectives often refers to his powers of deduction
0:13:52 > 0:13:55by mentioning the "little grey cells"?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Well, it's not Thomas Magnum.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05It is a man with a French accent, and it's not Bergerac,
0:14:05 > 0:14:06it's Hercule Poirot.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It is Hercule Poirot.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Dave, in the cult 1960s TV show Thunderbirds,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16which of the Tracy brothers was the pilot of Thunderbird One?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18DAVE MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY
0:14:20 > 0:14:21I don't know.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I can tell you that straightaway.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Should know all of these.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29It really is an eeny-meeny-miny-mo situation.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I've never stopped around long enough to watch the show.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Erm...
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Alan.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35No, Scott.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It's A bit like our Telly Tubby moment, isn't it?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Yeah, it is.- What was that?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Which... The purple one, was it? - Yeah.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- And what was the purple one? - Tinky Winky.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45LAUGHTER
0:14:45 > 0:14:47We're back there. This is good, isn't it?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Chris, we can have a little bit of fun here, I think, possibly,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52get you into the final, let's see.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Who stars as Lang
0:14:53 > 0:14:58in the 2015 film adaptation of the JG Ballard novel
0:14:58 > 0:14:59High-Rise?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I do not know this at all.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Not a film I'm familiar with.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I don't think it'll be Daniel Craig,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12cos I would expect him to be busy doing other things.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I will go for Tom Hiddleston.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Yes, you've gone the right way. Well done. Tom Hiddleston.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19APPLAUSE
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- OK, Dave. You need to get this right.- Yeah.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26In which film does Brad Pitt play a character called Rusty Ryan?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Right, erm, I'm not sure at all.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38But, erm, I like the look of Ocean's 11 in this case,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40so I'll go for that. Ocean's 11, please.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Well done, Ocean's 11 it is.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Chris, back to you. For the round if you get it right.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49"That's a Smith & Wesson, and you've had your six",
0:15:49 > 0:15:52is a quote from which James Bond film?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I've seen them all over many years.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01But it's going have to come down to a guess yet again.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I'm going to have to err on Goldfinger.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Goldfinger. Let's see, Dave, is he right?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I think he's right.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- It's Dr No.- Oh, right.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12We're both wrong.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15So, Dave, get this right, you're back in it, get it wrong...
0:16:15 > 0:16:16- Yeah, gone.- We know what happens.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Gone, following Judith down the highway to hell.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21DAVE LAUGHS
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Here we go. In 2016, Rebecca Adlington,
0:16:24 > 0:16:29Beth Tweddle and Tina Hobley were all forced to leave which sporting
0:16:29 > 0:16:32reality show after being injured?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I don't think it's Splash! I don't think it's The Getaway Car.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I think it's the winter sports one, that caused a lot of problem...
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- I think it's The Jump.- Amazing that people kept going in for it,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47you're right, it is The Jump. Well done.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50All right, so we're level after three questions.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Two each, and we go to Sudden Death, Chris.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Just to make it that bit harder, I don't give you options.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00Which British actress, born in 1992, plays the character Rey,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03which is R-E-Y, in the Star Wars franchise?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08No. I can see her, but I have not seen the film.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11No, I can't give you the name, I'm sorry.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Daisy Ridley.- Correct.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15JEREMY LAUGHS Daisy Ridley, thank you.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Dave, here we are, the comeback king.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Let's see if you can get your place in the final with this question.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Which American TV talk-show host and comedian
0:17:24 > 0:17:26left The Late Show in 2015?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I thought Letterman left earlier.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I think Jimmy Kimmel's still going.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Something I should know. I'm just not firing...
0:17:36 > 0:17:37- You know what? - DAVE SIGHS
0:17:38 > 0:17:40David Letterman.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43David Letterman is the right answer. You're in the final round, Dave.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Good answer.- Chris, sorry, you were beaten by our Egghead.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48As a result, you will not be in the final round.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Come back, we've got one more round to play.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57On the subject of the Thunderbird names, so, Alan, Virgil, Scott,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59anyone know, Eggheads, where they come from?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02American astronauts, the ones in the Mercury programme.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04And Mercury was prior to the moon landing?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Prior to Apollo, yes, so they were one-man missions.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10So, Virgil, for example...?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13That's... Virgil was the real first name of Gus Grissom,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15who was the second Mercury.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19The names in relation to the numbers of the Thunderbirds are not actually
0:18:19 > 0:18:24in the chronological order of the flights that the astronauts did.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25I see. Wow.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28OK, as it stands, Abide With Us have lost two brains
0:18:28 > 0:18:31from the all-important final, the Eggheads have just lost the one.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Let's see if that changes now with Geography.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Who would like this, Dave? - Perfect, Jeremy.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Rob?- That's me, isn't it? - Our expert in geography.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Couldn't be better.- Brilliant, OK.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Semi-retired engineer Rob against...?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I think Lisa, Rob.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Rob v Lisa, please, Jeremy. - Maybe a good choice,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- we have our moments on geography, don't we, Lisa?- Often.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53LAUGHTER
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Let's see if we have another moment now.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Rob from Abide With Us playing Lisa from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Please go to the Question Room for the last time.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05On Geography, then, against Lisa, Rob,
0:19:05 > 0:19:06would you like to go first or second?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I'll go first, please.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Here's your first question. Good luck, Rob.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Which of these Asian countries is landlocked?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Bangladesh is, er...got a big river running through it.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Er, Burma's also got a big coastline.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29It's Bhutan, up near the Himalayas.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Bhutan is the right answer, well done.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33APPLAUSE
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Never been there, quite interested.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Anyone been to Bhutan?- Barry has.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Barry has, of course Barry has!
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Sorry, not you, Barry, the other - our Egghead Barry.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Lisa, Paxos is the smallest of which group of Greek islands?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Have I anything to go off?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Dodecanese sounds like there might be sort of more to go from.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57LISA LAUGHS
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I really don't know. I quite like the sound of the Dodecanese,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02so we'll try that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03- It's Ionian.- OK.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06So you have the advantage, Rob.
0:20:06 > 0:20:13Which UK National Park has the most coastline, with 418km?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Dartmoor's certainly landlocked.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Um, but the one with the longest coastline's got to be
0:20:23 > 0:20:25the Pembrokeshire Coast.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Yeah, the clue is in the name, surely!
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Surely! Pembrokeshire Coast.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I thought... I almost worried I'd misread that.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35OK. Lisa.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Here's your question.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41The airport at Gardermoen is the largest international
0:20:41 > 0:20:43terminal in which country?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49And it's G-A-R-D-E-R-M-O-E-N.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52See, that O-E-N ending
0:20:52 > 0:20:57is taking Sweden away for me and leaving me
0:20:57 > 0:20:59with Norway and Denmark.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Could I just have the question one more time, please, Jeremy?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04The airport at Gardermoen
0:21:04 > 0:21:07is the largest international terminal in which country?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11OK. So that kind of suggests there might be a few more airports
0:21:11 > 0:21:13in whichever country we're talking about.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Erm...
0:21:16 > 0:21:19And on that basis, Norway's bigger than Denmark.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23So maybe they need more airports!
0:21:23 > 0:21:24I don't know,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I'm just trying to fashion some sort of twisted logic here.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I'll go for Norway.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29You're absolutely right, well done.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32LAUGHTER Norway it is.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36OK. So get this right, Rob, you're in the final round.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39And you even things up. It's quite a big moment, this.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44By area, what is the largest of Spain's autonomous communities?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46By area.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53No real clue, I'm afraid.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Er...
0:21:54 > 0:21:56HE EXHALES DEEPLY
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Castile-La Mancha.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00That's my guess.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02No, it's wrong. Castile-Leon it is.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So, Lisa, a chance for you to come back.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09In which a range of US mountains are the headwaters
0:22:09 > 0:22:10of the Missouri River?
0:22:14 > 0:22:15LISA LAUGHS
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Mountains and rivers together?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22My two favourite things in the whole world.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Am I...? Am I wrong in thinking the Sierra Nevada
0:22:26 > 0:22:29is in completely the wrong place for this to be right?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Mm...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34The Rockies, of course, are awfully big, as ranges go,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36so they could be...
0:22:37 > 0:22:40getting in my way here, but then they're up near Canada,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and they might also be in the wrong place.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I don't know. From my sort of tenuous, tenuous grasp
0:22:47 > 0:22:50of these things,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I'd probably have to plump for the Blue Ridge Mountains.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I'll just have one more think about it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Erm...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I don't know. I feel like if I go any more, I'll be overthinking this.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02So we'll try the Blue Ridge Mountains.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Blue Ridge Mountains. That was a long way round...
0:23:05 > 0:23:07to the wrong answer. It's Rocky Mountains, Lisa.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- OK.- So we say well done, Rob.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13You have booked your place in the final.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15You took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19That's very good news for your team, cos you're now going to be level in the final.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Come back to us, both of you, and we will play that all-important final round.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It is time for the final round,
0:23:27 > 0:23:28which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:23:31 > 0:23:35to take part. So that's Chris and Barry from Abide With Us,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39and also Lisa and Judith, both ends of the Eggheads.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:42 > 0:23:47David, Ben and Rob, you're playing to win Abide With Us £1,000.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Dave, Kevin and Steve, well,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51you're playing for something money can't really buy,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55which is the Eggheads' reputation, and to just gradually rebuild
0:23:55 > 0:23:57after what happened in the last game.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Which we don't mention. - Which we don't mention.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05You can confer, OK?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09So, Abide With Us, the question is, can your three brains
0:24:09 > 0:24:11take down these famous three over here?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14And David, Ben and Rob, would you like to go first or second?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21OK, General Knowledge.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24David and team, good luck, here's your question.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Which member of Nasa's Apollo 11 mission
0:24:27 > 0:24:29did not set foot on the moon?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I'm pretty sure it's Michael Collins.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Yeah, Michael Collins.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- It is...- Yeah. He was the one that continued to orbit the moon.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Yeah.- You sure?- Yeah, yeah. - You sure?- Yeah.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Michael Collins, we believe, Jeremy.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Michael Collins is right. - Well done, guys.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Over to you, Eggheads.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Harvard University is based in which US state?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Massachusetts. We're happy, yeah. - Just outside Boston.- Yeah.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02It's not far from Boston, it's in Massachusetts.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It is in Massachusetts.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Challengers,
0:25:06 > 0:25:07for which of the following sides
0:25:07 > 0:25:10did Leary - later Baron -
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Constantine play Test cricket?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- West Indies. - West Indies.- Yeah.- Definitely.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19West Indies, Jeremy.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21West Indies is right. Well done, you're playing well.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Two out of two. Eggheads,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25in which Shakespeare play does Rosalind
0:25:25 > 0:25:29dress up as a man named Ganymede?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- As You Like It.- As You Like It, yeah. That's As You Like It.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40You're not quite breaking into a sweat yet, Eggheads, are you?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42As You Like It is right.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44I'm worried about them over there.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46They've got quite a bit to prove today.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Well, get this one right, who knows?
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Your third question.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Over which UK city would you be afforded a panorama
0:25:54 > 0:25:57by climbing up the steps of Cabot Tower?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03As soon as they...
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Before the answers came up, I mean... John Cabot's from Bristol.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Bristol.- And there's a replica ship in Bristol docks
0:26:10 > 0:26:11called The Matthew.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- Bristol.- Yeah.- That's my best guess.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16We bow to our geography expert and go for Bristol,
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Jeremy.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Rob, you're on fire today. Well done. Bristol is right.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Three out of three. Challengers playing well.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Will it be enough?
0:26:24 > 0:26:25If the Eggheads get this wrong,
0:26:25 > 0:26:30the jackpot goes out the studio for the second time in a row.
0:26:30 > 0:26:36What was the nom de plume of the 17th-century female playwright
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Aphra Behn?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Well, it's not Sappho.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45And I wouldn't have thought it was Astraea.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Astraea, that's from a poem, isn't it?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50There is a poem about Astraea, yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51I'd have thought Orinda, but it's...
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Orinda. Hmm, yeah...
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Because didn't she write Okorinoko, or something like that?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Yeah, that's what's worrying me slightly.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Right.- In that she wrote Orinoco, which sounds...
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Yeah.- Hmm.- I can't place Orinda anywhere else.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07No. No, that's it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Whereas with the other two I can... - Yes, Astraea...
0:27:09 > 0:27:14Astraea is a character or a name in other stories.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16If it is... If it does turn out to be Astraea,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20the problem is the interference from that being used as a name elsewhere.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Mmm.- Yeah.- And as you say, I can't think of any other...
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Unless...- I've never heard Orinda in any other context.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Could be a character from somewhere else.- Yeah?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Right, OK, well, we don't... Shall I go? Can we go for that?
0:27:31 > 0:27:36- Yeah.- Yeah.- We're pretty sure it's not Sappho, she didn't use Sappho,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40but actually really rather torn as regards the other two.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43But on the basis we know Astraea is used elsewhere,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I think we'll have to go for Orinda.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Not at all sure. It could very easily be Astraea.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Are we on the verge of a second Egghead defeat in a row?
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Let's see. If they've got this wrong, then the contest is over.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Sappho you were right to rule out.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Steve was big on Orinda.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Kevin was worried.- Mm.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04It's not Orinda, it's Astraea.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07We say congratulations, Challengers, you have won.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09APPLAUSE
0:28:12 > 0:28:13How are you feeling?
0:28:13 > 0:28:14- Yeah...- Brilliant.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16LAUGHTER
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Well, skid pan alley for the Eggheads at the moment.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Well done. Abide With Us, you've come and you've won.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Can't put it any fairer than that.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Well done. You take £1,000.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads and you can boast about it
0:28:29 > 0:28:30on the bowling green and wherever you like.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32You've proved they can be beaten.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I wonder if they're having a little bit of an existential crisis now.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Join us next time on Eggheads
0:28:36 > 0:28:39to see if a new team of Challengers can make it
0:28:39 > 0:28:40three defeats in a row.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Till then, goodbye.
