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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:34And really the greatest, right?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Oh, yes.- Oh, yeah.- On a good day.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38There's a little pause. I'll explain why in a second.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are The Interveners.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Now, this team from Newcastle-upon-Tyne work together
0:00:45 > 0:00:48as part of a mental health early intervention team.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, my name's Mandy, and I'm a mental health nurse.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Dave, and I'm a care coordinator.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Steve, I'm an advanced pharmacist practitioner.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Mike, and I'm a community psychiatric nurse.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hello, I'm Alan, and I'm a semi-retired care coordinator.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So, Mandy and team, welcome.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Hello!- Good to see you. Very cheerful, that's great.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12So, you help people who are in, er,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14basically a mental health crisis, is that right?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Yeah, yeah, first episode, sort of psychosis, presentation.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20OK, and you're together in an institution of some kind,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- or you are out and about?- Community.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- So we're out and about. - In the community, OK.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Brilliant. Have you quizzed together?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29No, a couple of the team members, Dave and Alan, quiz together,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32but we do a bit of PopMaster on Radio 2.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Oh, yes? Well, that will help in the music round for sure.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39And any particular areas of strengths or weakness?
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Maybe you shouldn't tell us.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Mm. Yeah, we'll keep that under our belts, actually.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- We don't want to...- We've got a wide breadth of knowledge.- Yeah.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Well, good luck, Challengers.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53If the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56When did that last happen?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The Challengers failing to defeat you?
0:01:59 > 0:02:00LISA CLEARS HER THROAT
0:02:00 > 0:02:02They've had a terrible time, basically.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05They're in a kind of little crisis of their own here.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07So, they've lost two in a row.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Which means there's £1,000 for you to win today,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14and it also means you might sense that they're just uncertain.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15So take advantage.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21You've got Judith, Dave, Kevin, Barry or Lisa.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- It's a big one, this, isn't it? - It is.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- It's the worst one that could come up...- You can sacrifice me, but...
0:02:27 > 0:02:29We don't want to sacrifice you.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- You want to keep us for the end. - But then there's anyone you think you could take on Sport,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35in which case we could have you in the final as well.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Does anybody else want Sport?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Do you want me to take Sport? I'll take the fall.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- MANDY:- All right, OK.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42All right. Against which Egghead?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Judith, if you don't mind, please.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Ah. Now, this is interesting too, isn't it?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- No, it isn't.- Because we're close... - You might be able to sing later.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- I'll explain why shortly.- But...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55We're getting all kinds of things that we're on the edge of here.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04OK, Judith, you need to cover your ears, cos I just must tell Steve
0:03:04 > 0:03:06about the significance of this round.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Oh, no, please don't. - No, but... We must...
0:03:09 > 0:03:10I will blame you.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Well, so Steve...
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Judith has won six Sport rounds in a row.- That's done it.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23The last time she did that was under the Tony Blair administration.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25LAUGHTER OK?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27If she wins this one, it will be seven,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30which will be unprecedented for her in Eggheads.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33So it's a bit, we're all a bit, we're ready for the party, Judith.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Yeah, you just messed it up.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- All right...- Honestly, you have.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- No, I haven't.- I know. - I'm sure I haven't.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Steve, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'd like to go second, please.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49OK, Judith. Your first question.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Super Victor was the name of the official mascot
0:03:53 > 0:03:56of which of these 2016 sporting events?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Well, the Grand National doesn't have a mascot,
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I don't think. Er...
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Super Victor. It's probably Olympics, I should think.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Rio Olympics.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Any Eggheads know this?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- It doesn't ring a bell.- We're drawing a bit of a blank here,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19but I'm afraid it was Euro 16, Judith.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20You see? I knew you'd jinxed it.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- No, I haven't... - Absolutely your fault.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25JEREMY LAUGHS
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Steve, your question.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Which country joined the Home Nations rugby union
0:04:30 > 0:04:36tournament in 1910, making it the Five Nations Tournament?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Well, I do believe they're all in the Five Nations,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43so that's about as good as my knowledge gets
0:04:43 > 0:04:46when it comes to rugby. Erm...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm going to take a stab,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50because I imagine that Ireland and England
0:04:50 > 0:04:53might have been in the tournament together
0:04:53 > 0:04:55in the first place, I'm going to say France, please.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Yes, France. So, it's Scotland, Wales, Ireland, England,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00and France is the fifth nation.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Judith, your question.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04The tennis player Roger Federer holds dual nationality
0:05:04 > 0:05:08between Switzerland and which other country, thanks to the fact
0:05:08 > 0:05:11that his mother was born there? Is it...?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Oh.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Now, that's interesting. Um...
0:05:18 > 0:05:23I don't know why, but I have a feeling it's South Africa.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25South Africa is the right answer.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Mm.- Back in the saddle, well done.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29OK, Steve, your question.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35In football, a Panenka, named after the Czech player who pioneered it,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38is a method of taking what?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43This, I think I do know.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48I believe this is when a player crosses his foot behind another one
0:05:48 > 0:05:49and takes a penalty.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Er, a very flash penalty, I think. I hope.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Penalty's right.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Is that right, Dave? Is the description right?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01The Panenka was the one where he ran up to it and then waited
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- for Sepp Maier to go one way and then just coolly chipped it in.- Ah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Oh, I see. So, Steve, a Panenka...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11You've got it right, don't worry. But the Panenka is where, Dave says,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- you pause and the goalkeeper goes and then you kick it.- Yeah.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16And the Rabona is the one where you...
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Yeah, where you flick...- Yeah. - It's all the same thing.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21LAUGHTER
0:06:21 > 0:06:22So, Steve is ahead.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Judith, you need this one.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Which golfer won his first major in 2016
0:06:27 > 0:06:30when he won the US PGA tournament?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Oh, gosh. I thought I would know this one, but they're not
0:06:39 > 0:06:41ringing bells, those people.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I don't know, Jimmy Walker.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Is she right, Eggs?- Yes.- Yay!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Phew!- You've got it right.- God. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:06:49 > 0:06:52OK, well, we are within sight for Judith
0:06:52 > 0:06:54of those seven wins on the trot. Let's see.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57She's still in it, but, Steve, if you get this right,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59you go through to the final.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00The Tarbes National,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04named after the town in southern France where it begins,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06is an event in which sport?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Tarbes is T-A-R-B-E-S. Is it...?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Well, I don't speak French
0:07:17 > 0:07:20so I can't even think what the, er, what the letters might stand for.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Just to explain,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23when you say what the letters might stand for...
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Oh, sorry, is it not an acronym? - No, I was just going to say,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- it's a capital T and then all lower case, OK?- Ah, right.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I'll have to say hot-air ballooning in that case, as a wild guess.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Please.- They've got a big tradition of hot air ballooning in France,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37but... Actually, Judith, you might know cos your French...
0:07:37 > 0:07:38No, I don't. Maybe it's pigeon racing.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Pigeon racing is the right answer.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Pigeon racing.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44So we go to Sudden Death, in Sport, Judith.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45In Sport. Your question.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50In 2016, the mother-in-law of which sporting figure from the world
0:07:50 > 0:07:55of motor racing was freed after being kidnapped in Brazil?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Oh. I'm trying to think of drivers who might be married.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I don't know. Erm...
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Alonso.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- It's Bernie Ecclestone.- Really? - THEY LAUGH
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Steve, this is for the round.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16The big serving tennis player Sam Groth represents which country?
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Australia.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Australia's the right answer, Steve, well done.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE You are through.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Sorry. Oh, I'm in such trouble.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29You have got me into so much trouble now.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Well, we got six in a row and every decade or so, Judith, we get there.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Sorry. You're not in the final.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Steve is.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Come back and we'll play on.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43So, as it stands, The Interveners
0:08:43 > 0:08:45have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48The Eggheads have lost one, and I'm in such trouble, aren't I?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Yes, you are. Absolutely. I'm going to have my revenge.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55History. Who wants this?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Shall I go for it?- Go on, Mike.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Who do you want to take on, Mike? - OK, Mike...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Do you want to go for Lisa? - Go for Lisa?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Flip a few coins.- Lisa? - Can we try Lisa?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Yes, by all means. She's good at History, loves kings.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Oh... Can I change my mind?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Mike from The Interveners versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Please go to our Question Room now.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Mike, on History, would you like to go first or second?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24I'll go first, thanks.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Good luck, here we go.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Which city was the capital of West Germany
0:09:33 > 0:09:36between 1949 and 1990?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Oh...
0:09:41 > 0:09:42I'm sure it's Bonn.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I think when the wall went down, then it swapped back to Berlin.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47So I'll go for Bonn.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Yes. How soon we forget.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Bonn is right, but it's not often spoken of now.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Lisa.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57The Cod Wars were a series of confrontations
0:09:57 > 0:10:00between Iceland and which other country?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I had a feeling that was us in the UK.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Let me just have a quick think, cos, you know... The Cod Wars...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I mean, are they going to make that joke in Russia or Spain?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'll go with the UK.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It was the UK. I can't remember...
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Obviously it was about fish. I can't remember the details.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20It was, I think, my childhood, when this was going on.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Back to you, Mike.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Elizabeth Woodville was the mother of which King of England?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Woodville... Possibly French.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I'll take a chance on...on Richard.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Is he right, Lisa?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42No, afraid not. Richard I predates her by a few hundred years.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46She was the more controversial wife of Edward IV,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50and gave birth to Edward V, who was one of the Princes in the Tower,
0:10:50 > 0:10:51so he didn't last very long.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Henry VIII's mother was another Elizabeth, Elizabeth of York,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56who was also one of Elizabeth Woodville's children.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Edward V is the answer, Mike.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03So, to take the lead, here is your question, Lisa.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05The English soothsayer Mother Shipton
0:11:05 > 0:11:08is believed to have been born in a cave
0:11:08 > 0:11:11in which county in the 15th century?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I've been to her cave.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20It's just in Knaresborough, which is in Yorkshire.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Barry, you would've been very upset if she'd got that wrong.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I couldn't believe any set of circumstances at all
0:11:25 > 0:11:27where Lisa would get that wrong.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Yorkshire is the correct answer.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31So she pulls ahead, Mike.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You've got to restrain her now.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36The half-brother of which Prime Minister served as
0:11:36 > 0:11:41Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1903 to 1905,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45and Foreign Secretary from 1924 to 1929?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I know Churchill's sons went into politics,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I don't know if he had any siblings.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I know nothing about Stanley Baldwin.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I know there's been a few Chamberlains in politics,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11so I'll take a chance on Neville Chamberlain.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Good thinking, it was another Chamberlain.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14It was Austen Chamberlain.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18So you've got it right. So level now.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20But Lisa can take the round with this.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Imposed between the 14th and 19th centuries,
0:12:23 > 0:12:30butlerage was a tax on which product when it was imported into England?
0:12:33 > 0:12:3614th and 19th centuries...
0:12:36 > 0:12:41We didn't do a whole bunch of tobacco, really, before Raleigh,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44which is a fair bit later than the 14th century.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So that would seem not quite right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53And I would have thought cheese wasn't right either.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57I mean, I don't know how much cheese we really sort of imported.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Oh, come on. Wine.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Wine is the right answer.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Sorry, Mike, beaten by our Egghead, so not able
0:13:06 > 0:13:07to take your place in the final.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Lisa will be there, though.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Please return to us, and we'll play on.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16So, as it stands, The Interveners have lost a brain now
0:13:16 > 0:13:17from the final round.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20The Eggheads have also lost one, so pretty evenly matched.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22A lot at stake, remember, for the Eggheads,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24cos they lost the last two matches.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27The next subject is Film and TV.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29So, who would like this?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Do you want to take it, or do you want me to take it?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- What do you think? - You go for it, Dave.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- I'll have a go, Jeremy.- And, Dave, who would you like to play?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I'll go for Dave.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39OK, so we're going to have Dave on Dave.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Dave from The Interveners, Dave on the Eggheads, on Film and TV.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Please go to the Question Room.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Challenger Dave, do you want to go first or second?
0:13:49 > 0:13:50I think I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56All right, so, Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:13:56 > 0:13:57here is your question.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Who plays Deadshot in the 2016 film Suicide Squad?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10I must be the only person in the world who's never seen this film.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14And I could be very wrong, but Ryan Reynolds is jumping out at me,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16so I'll go Ryan Reynolds, please.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19It's Will Smith. Oh, dear!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Oh, dear, oh, dear...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23That's a good start there, Challenger Dave.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Haven't even lifted a finger yet. You're already ahead.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32Which American actor co-founded a comedy website
0:14:32 > 0:14:35called Funny Or Die in 2007?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Actor...
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Well, I can't see Tom Cruise doing that.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Will Ferrell...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I'll go for Seth Rogen, Jeremy.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Dave, what do you think? - I thought he was right.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yeah. Not, it's not, it's Will Ferrell.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Oh, is it, really? - So you're level.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Who became the male host of Robot Wars
0:15:02 > 0:15:04when it returned to television in 2016?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Right...
0:15:10 > 0:15:12It's not Clive Anderson.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Was it Bill Bailey? No, I'm going...
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Yeah, I'm going to go Dara O Briain, please.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Dara O Briain is right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22- Yeah!- Yay!
0:15:22 > 0:15:24OK, Dave,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Challenger Dave, your question.
0:15:27 > 0:15:33Who plays a villain called Krall in the 2016 film Star Trek Beyond?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35His friends might call him "Krawl".
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I should go to the pictures more often.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I can't see it being Martin Freeman.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I'll go for Idris Elba, Jeremy.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Idris Elba is right. - That's good.- Nicely done.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53So you're level after two.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57In which film does John Huston
0:15:57 > 0:16:00play the villainous businessmen Noah Cross?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Right, I've got a yearning for one of them.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I think they're all good films, but I can't remember all of them,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16all the different things that go on.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17I'm going to go, in this case,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19for Chinatown.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Chinatown is the right answer.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23The Egghead is ahead.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25You need to get this one right,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Challenger Dave.- OK, Jeremy.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32In September 2015, which British-born actress made headlines
0:16:32 > 0:16:35when she joked that she made a terrible mistake
0:16:35 > 0:16:38by becoming an American citizen?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Oh, dear, I don't know this one as well.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Which one of them became an American citizen?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I'll go for Keira Knightley.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55No, no, no. She...hasn't done that.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Oh, dear.- Emily Blunt is the answer.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Oh, I thought...- Emily Blunt.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- OK, Jeremy.- So, Dave,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05the other Dave, taken the round.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Maybe something's going on here.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Maybe the Eggheads are starting to feel
0:17:08 > 0:17:09the fire in their bellies again.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Going to get back into winning ways. Too early to say.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14But Tremendous Knowledge Dave will be in the final,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Challenger Dave, you've been knocked out.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Please return to us. We'll play the last round before that final.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23So, the Eggheads now fighting back after a difficult time.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Well, the Interveners have lost two brains from the final round,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29the Eggheads have just lost the one at this point.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31The next subject is Music.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So, which Intervener wants Music?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Alan or Mandy?- Go for it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- I think that's going to have to be me.- Go on, Mandy. OK.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Against which Egghead? It's got to be Kevin or Barry.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- I'll take...I'll take on Kevin. - All right. Do that.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Mandy from the Interveners versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50who got knocked out in the last game, by the way.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52To ensure there's no conferring,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54would you please take up your positions in the Question Room?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59So, Music, Mandy - would you like to go first or second?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Kevin, your question, then.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Whose 1998 hit Believe is often described as
0:18:10 > 0:18:15the first widely known use of the Auto-Tune audio processor?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I believe that that was Cher.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Cher is right.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- OK, Mandy.- Can I have his question?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Don't worry, don't worry.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Got a good one for you.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36In 1981, One Day In Your Life became the first UK number one solo single
0:18:36 > 0:18:38for which singer?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I do believe that was Michael Jackson, Jeremy.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Well done, Mandy, it was. Michael Jackson.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Kevin.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55The 2010 album Pink Friday is the debut release
0:18:55 > 0:18:58by which American recording artist?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Debut release? OK, well, I don't think it's Beyonce.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12And I think that's probably too late for Mary J Blige as well.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I think I'm getting a bell ringing saying Nicki Minaj.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16So I'll say Nicki Minaj.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Nicki Minaj is quite right.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Mandy, who composed
0:19:21 > 0:19:23the Ride Of The Valkyries,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26a piece of music that appears in the film Apocalypse Now?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Classical music really isn't my bag.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I'll go for Richard Wagner.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43The Eggheads are laughing cos you're right. Well done.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45OK, Kevin.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Who wrote the music and co-wrote the lyrics
0:19:47 > 0:19:51of the 1930s song Don't Fence Me In?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Well, I think it's an American song, so...
0:20:00 > 0:20:03..probably best to rule out Noel Coward.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08I'm not sure, I'm not sure. It's between Porter and Berlin.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I'm going to say Irving Berlin but...it could be either.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- You're wrong.- Yeah... - It's Cole Porter.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18This is interesting, Mandy. You've got a chance here
0:20:18 > 0:20:21to knock him out. My advice would be to try and take it now.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27Mandy, which group headlined the first Glastonbury Festival in 1970
0:20:27 > 0:20:30when they stepped in to replace The Kinks?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Um...I don't think it would be Mud.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I'll guess at T-Rex.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Eggheads?- That's right. - You're right!
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Well done. Three out of three.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Kevin, sorry, sin bin for you.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52We are in a little interesting streak with the Eggheads, aren't we?
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Well done, Mandy.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Got the rub of the green, the Challengers, at the moment.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Come back to us, both of you. We will play the final round.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02So, here we are. This is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Another great game. So far.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Now, it's time for the final round
0:21:06 > 0:21:08which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11But, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:11 > 0:21:13are not allowed to take part in the final.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16So, that is Dave and Mike from the Interveners,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19but also Kevin and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25OK, Mandy, Steve and Alan, you are playing
0:21:25 > 0:21:28to win the Interveners £1,000.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Lisa, Barry and Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33you're playing for something that money can't really buy,
0:21:33 > 0:21:38which is the Eggheads' reputation - and to try to get back on the road!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43They are all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46OK. So, Interveners, firstly, good luck,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and, secondly, can you overwhelm these three?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Would you like to go first or second?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53We'd like to go second, please, Jeremy.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Here we go. So, first question to the Eggheads.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Pedal pushers are a style of which item of clothing?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Trousers?- Trousers, gentlemen, yes. - Trousers, yeah.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Surprisingly, this is one we all know,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and they are trousers.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Trousers is correct.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Your question, Challengers.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22In Scotland, the Gay Gordons is a type of what?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I've got ideas on this one. What about yourselves, team?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I don't think it's a mushroom.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- No.- I don't think it's an edible haircut.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35"Edible haircut"?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37We're pretty clear it's a dance, isn't it?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- We all learned this at school, did we not?- We did.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- We might not have all learned it at school.- Oh, no...
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Yes, I'm a bit older.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45It's a dance, Jeremy.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46It is indeed a dance.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Eggheads,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51the city of Wichita Falls
0:22:51 > 0:22:56was incorporated in 1889 in which US state?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Is it Texas? - I thought it was Texas.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- I thought of Kansas when I first thought...- So did I.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- That's just Wichita.- That's Wichita.
0:23:10 > 0:23:121889...
0:23:12 > 0:23:16My inclination, I must admit, out of those three, would be Texas.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18But...
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Cos I've not heard of it in Flori..
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Yeah, it's definitely not Florida. - Don't think it is Florida.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I would've said Texas myself, but...
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Well, my gut feels was Texas. - Yeah, OK.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30If they were asking for the state, I might've changed it...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Yeah, go on. - All right, as you can tell,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34we're not sure at all on this one.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36We discounted Florida fairly quickly,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39and we think we're going to plump for Texas.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42It's like a car with the engine in the wrong place
0:23:42 > 0:23:45at the moment, isn't it?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46But you are right. Texas is correct.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Well done, Dave. - Well done, gentlemen.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Particularly, Dave. OK...
0:23:50 > 0:23:52So...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55back to the Challengers. They haven't put a foot wrong yet.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Which British Prime Minister, born in 1858,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01was known as The Unknown Prime Minister
0:24:01 > 0:24:04as he held office for less than a year?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- That's Bonar Law, isn't it? - We think it's Bonar Law.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- This really rings a bell. - It rings a bell, yes.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I'm sure he was the shortest-serving Prime Minister.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Yes.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23In which case that would sway it towards it.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I think he's got a name for that.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Are we happy with that?- Yes.- Yes.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29We're going to go for
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Andrew Bonar Law, Jeremy.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Andrew Bonar Law is the right answer.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Well done, Challengers.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38So, your third question.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Eggheads, who wrote the poem The Mask Of Anarchy
0:24:43 > 0:24:46following the Peterloo Massacre of 1819?
0:24:50 > 0:24:51It's Shelley.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- He got thrown out of Oxford for writing it.- OK, fine.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- You're confident, good. - I'm very confident on this one.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I believe the answer is Percy Bysshe Shelley,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03because I believe he was expelled from Oxford for writing that poem.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Barry suddenly starts firing.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09The cylinders of Simmons
0:25:09 > 0:25:11are roaring again.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Percy Bysshe Shelley is right.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Not a moment of uncertainty.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- Well, that's a bad time for that to happen, isn't it?- Mm...
0:25:17 > 0:25:21OK. So, now, you're a little bit on the defensive here.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23You have to get this right to stay in.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24What is the only African country
0:25:24 > 0:25:27where Spanish is an official language?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- I'm afraid I haven't got a clue. - We have no idea on this.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Let's try and think it through.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I'm sure the Senegalese footballers usually speak French.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- I...I...- I think.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I've got a feeling
0:25:45 > 0:25:46that Mozambique...
0:25:48 > 0:25:49I could get this wrong,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51but I've a feeling that that...
0:25:52 > 0:25:54..was Portuguese-speaking.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- Do we think that? - I think you could be right.- Yes?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01So, my inclination would be to go for the one
0:26:01 > 0:26:04that I haven't clue about, to be honest,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06which is Equatorial Guinea.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Right.- Yeah?- OK.- Absolutely.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14Jeremy, I think we're going to go for Equatorial Guinea.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Eggheads, do you know? - That's right.- They're right.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Well done. Equatorial Guinea it is.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21So, we go to Sudden Death, Eggheads.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Gets a bit harder, as you know. I don't give you options.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Here we go.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30The word chugger, for someone who approaches people in the street
0:26:30 > 0:26:34asking for donations or subscriptions,
0:26:34 > 0:26:38is a combination of "mugger" and which other word?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Charity.- Charity.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I think we've all been chugged on occasion.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and it's a combination of "charity" and "mugger".
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Charity is correct.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50OK. So you need this to stay in.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56In which language does "domo arigato"
0:26:56 > 0:26:57mean "thank you very much"?
0:26:57 > 0:27:03It's two words. D-O-M-O, and then A-R-I-G-A-T-O.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It's like a Latin sort of feel.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09It's got a Latin feel to it, hasn't it? But, then again, not.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I think it's just going to have to be a stab in the dark, isn't it?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Latin, I would guess.
0:27:16 > 0:27:22We're tempted to say Latin, because it sounds like Latin.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26So that's what we give as an answer.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I didn't give you any pronunciation of it because that would've...
0:27:29 > 0:27:31If I'd pronounced it...
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Barry, you know this. We'd have given it away.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36You pronounce it for us.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Well, you pronounce it correctly, domo arigato.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's Japanese.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42THEY GROAN Japanese.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45We have to say, congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I didn't really... If I'd said...
0:27:52 > 0:27:53VAGUELY JAPANESE ACCENT: domo arigato
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- then you would've... - It could've been a hint.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Exactly. So, I hope that I said it right for you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I did it without any accent at all.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I'm sorry cos, of course, now you know, "Oh, of course!"
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- You've heard it, you've seen it. - Uh-huh.- Commiserations, Interveners.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I guess there was always going to be a moment
0:28:09 > 0:28:12when they picked up the pieces, the Eggheads, and marched on.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16They've just about done it today, this ragged band of quizzers.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20They've got a victory,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22and it means you won't be going home with the £1,000,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24so we roll that money over to our next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Eggheads, well done. Back on track.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Lost Kevin, lost Judith, but you did win,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31and maybe you can get the beginnings of a run together.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Maybe you can win two in a row.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:35 > 0:28:37have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40We will have £2,000 waiting, ready for them.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- Thanks for playing, hope you enjoyed it.- Thank you.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Till next time, goodbye.
