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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And those brains are like lasers, aren't they?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- When they fire!- When they fire!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Challenging the might of our quiz goliaths today are the Sohocentrics.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Now, this team all share a connection with London's Soho district.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Team captain Freddie and his friend, Tony,
0:00:46 > 0:00:50occasionally quiz together at the many pubs it has to offer and have
0:00:50 > 0:00:53called upon friends and family to help them take on the Eggheads.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54So, let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Freddie, I'm an artist.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Elizabeth and I'm a retired teacher.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Tony and I'm the chair of the Museum of Soho.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hello, my name is Seona. I'm a retired education adviser.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hello, I'm Karin and I'm a retired secretary.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13So, Freddie, team, welcome.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14- ALL:- Hello.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16So, Soho brings you together, does it?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Yeah, it does.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21In a kind of tenuous way.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23My mother's sitting to my left,
0:01:23 > 0:01:28and Tony, my friend from Soho, and I have played a few quizzes together.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33There is a connection between Seona and Saint Anne's Church in Soho
0:01:33 > 0:01:35because she's a member of a book society which...
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Well, she's a... What would that be?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- The chair...- Chair. - ..of a book society.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And they have their meetings in Saint Anne's church in Soho where
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Tony runs the museum from.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46It's always good to have the chair of a book society
0:01:46 > 0:01:48on your team. That's very good in a quiz.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49It's turned out that way, yes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And I know you're an artist, Freddie. Tell us what kind of art.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56I paint flowers in decay on canvas.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58In watercolour? Oils?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Oils. That's because it takes me so long, they always die on me.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, I see, they're dead by the time you finish.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04All right. Good luck, team. LAUGHTER
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Good luck against these Eggheads.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Now, Sohocentrics, the Eggheads had a difficult time.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19They've come out of it. They're just getting back into their stride.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23You've got to stop them. £2,000 on the table if you do.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV
0:02:27 > 0:02:31and you can choose Beth or Chris, Pat, Steve or Barry to take on.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Film & TV.- OK, Film & TV.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I think that's you, Tony.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Is that me?- Yeah. - Are we all agreed on that?
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Yeah, yeah.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Right.- That's a nice Soho subject that, isn't it?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42And which Egghead would you like?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Who looks as if their video recorder is broken?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- (Say Beth.) - Beth. I've been advised for Beth.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51One of the newest Eggheads. OK.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53So, it's Tony from Sohocentrics
0:02:53 > 0:02:56taking on Beth from the Eggheads on Film & TV,
0:02:56 > 0:02:57and just to ensure that's no conferring,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06So, Tony, this is a slightly auspicious day because we think it
0:03:06 > 0:03:09is the 1,600th episode of Eggheads.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Wonderful.- I just thought I'd spring that on you.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16How about that? So, good luck in your round, Tony.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Thank you.- And would you like to go first or second?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Here we go.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Which of these TV channels became an online only service in 2016?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Well, BBC2, you're still on.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37BBC4, still on.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So, that would be BBC3, Jeremy.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43That's right, they had to make a choice.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46BBC3, BBC4, they went 3. Well done, BBC3.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Beth, who presented an episode of Match Of The Day partially clothed
0:03:50 > 0:03:52in 2016 after promising to do so
0:03:52 > 0:03:55if Leicester won the previous year's Premier League?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Ah, I think he kind of bottled out of what people were expecting him to
0:04:02 > 0:04:05wear on the show. It was Gary Lineker.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Gary Lineker's right.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09So, Tony, your question.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Second question. Which director made the 2010 film Inception?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Well, Guy Ritchie's just done the Sherlock film,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24so it's not Guy.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Sam Mendes. No, it's Christopher Nolan.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Christopher Nolan is right.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Any other films by him that you know?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Well, there's the Batman franchise,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38which I think has been the best franchise so far, actually.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Cos I think my favourite film of all time -
0:04:40 > 0:04:42are you ready, Eggheads? - is Memento.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Oh, fantastic film. - By Christopher Nolan.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- Yeah.- Yeah.- Absolutely amazing film.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I have to... I've only watched it once
0:04:47 > 0:04:51cos I've only been in the right frame of mind once to watch it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It's hard to follow, isn't it? It's like The Usual Suspects -
0:04:53 > 0:04:56you've got to be so attentive to it.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Yeah. But, yeah, Beth, we'll have to give it a second viewing.- Yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01OK, your question.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Which of these, Beth, is the title of a 2016 documentary
0:05:04 > 0:05:08about a disgraced US Congressman's failed attempt
0:05:08 > 0:05:11to run for Mayor of New York? Is this...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Well, Giuliani's been Mayor of New York.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I'm pretty sure it wasn't him.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23But I have a feeling it may have been Weiner.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25It was definitely Weiner.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27And I just watched this the other day.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29It's a brilliant documentary.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31OK, your question, Tony.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33What is the name of the dragon
0:05:33 > 0:05:37in both the 1977 film version of Pete's Dragon
0:05:37 > 0:05:39and the 2016 remake?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44I actually haven't seen this film,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47but I'm thinking back to my childhood
0:05:47 > 0:05:50and not the remake and I remember it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53If I'm correct, it's Elliot.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Elliot is right. Bang on.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Three out of three. Nice work.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03OK, to stay in, Beth, which 2013 American made-for-TV disaster film
0:06:03 > 0:06:07starring Tara Reid gained a cult audience online
0:06:07 > 0:06:09and spawned a number of sequels?
0:06:12 > 0:06:13SHE CHUCKLES
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I wish I'd seen it. It's Sharknado.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Sharknado's right.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21There's quite a few like this, Beth, isn't there?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Yeah.- Snakes On A Plane was one.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Yeah. That was actually not for...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29not made for TV, that went out as a theatrical release.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Compared to Sharknado, Snakes On A Plane is a documentary.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35LAUGHTER OK, I've got to see Sharknado now.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38All right. So, level after three, Tony.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- It's never easy, is it, against these Eggs?- No.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44We go to Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder, I don't give you options.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Here we go.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51In which film does Tom Cruise play a drone repair man assigned to Earth
0:06:51 > 0:06:53after it has been ravaged by an alien war?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57That's...
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I think that's Oblivion.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05It is Oblivion. Well done.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Beth, what is the surname of the Absolutely Fabulous character Patsy,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12played by Joanna Lumley?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14To stay in.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Hmm...
0:07:15 > 0:07:20I... I didn't watch the reboot, as it were,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I watched the originals, and I just can't think.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27But let's go with...
0:07:28 > 0:07:30No, I was going to go with Bouvier,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33but that's Marge Simpson's maiden name.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Best I can come up with, let's go with Bouvier.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Let's see, Challengers, do you know?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I don't know. It sounded similar.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Eggheads?- Stone.- Stone. Patsy Stone.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47So, well done, Tony.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50You're through. You're in the final round, that's it.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Simple as that.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Beth has been knocked out and if you come back to us,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55we'll play the next round.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59As it stands, the Sohocentrics have not lost any brains from the
0:07:59 > 0:08:00final round. Good work, Tony.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03The Eggheads have lost one. They've lost Beth.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Who would like this?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- We think Seona.- Seona. - From the book, the book area.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12You're sure you want me?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- You sure?- The book person.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Yes. Dorothy L Sayers Society, I'm chairman of that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20OK, all right. This is going to... I can feel they're sweating already.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- So, who would you like? - Steve?- Who am I going to have?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Steve.- Steve or Barry.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Steve or Barry.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Ooh, I'll go for Steve, please.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31So, they're taking on the newest Eggheads.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Is there a plot here, I wonder?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37OK, Seona from the Sohocentrics versus Steve from the Eggheads.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Feeling good? - Time will tell, Jeremy.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46So, you mentioned the Dorothy L Sayers Society, Seona.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Not Agatha Christie, but Dorothy L Sayers.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Dorothy L Sayers, yes. - What was so great about her?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I think she wrote really good literature
0:08:54 > 0:08:56as well as damn good stories.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Have you read any by her, Steve?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Yeah, a couple. Gaudy Night. Is it Whose Body?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Something like that?- That's right. - I've read the odd one or two, yeah.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Yeah. OK. Good stuff. Well, let's see if she comes up.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10You never know. We've had stranger things.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Arts & Books. Seona, first or second?
0:09:12 > 0:09:13First, please.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Here we go. Good luck.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Which novel by Charles Dickens is set in Coketown
0:09:21 > 0:09:25and involves a retired merchant called Thomas Gradgrind?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Well, Christmas Carol is very much in London and Oliver Twist,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38a lot of that's in London, so it has to be Hard Times.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Well done, yes, Gradgrind is from Hard Times.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44That's quite right. Steve...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47what name is given to something found by an artist
0:09:47 > 0:09:51and displayed with no or minimal alteration as a work of art?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Right, I was expecting ready-made coming up there,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02but now looking at the options...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04It's got to be objet trouve.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Excuse my shocking accent.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Objet trouve is quite right.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Back to you, Seona.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15number9dream and Cloud Atlas
0:10:15 > 0:10:18are Man Booker Prize-nominated novels by which writer?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25What were the names of both novels?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28So, one was called number9dream
0:10:28 > 0:10:30and the other is called Cloud Atlas.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33And by the way, number9dream is all one word, all lower case,
0:10:33 > 0:10:38so it's the word "number", then the digit 9, and then the word "dream".
0:10:38 > 0:10:40But all as one word.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Well, I think I'm ruling out Martin Amis because I haven't heard
0:10:44 > 0:10:48of him in connection with either of those books.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50And I don't know about David Mitchell,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53so I'm going to make it Howard Jacobson.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Now, he did... Did he do The Finkler Question?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Is that my imagination? Eggheads, do you know? Yes, he did.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- But it's not him.- Oh!
0:11:00 > 0:11:05It's David Mitchell. This time last year, I was reading Cloud Atlas in
0:11:05 > 0:11:07the Eggheads' dressing room.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09You know, that one with the Jacuzzi and the...
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Oh, that one.- That one.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16OK, Steve, published in 2016,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo
0:11:19 > 0:11:24is a collection of essays by which American comedienne and actress?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Well, walking through Tesco the other day, Jeremy,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I actually stood looking at this book.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36So, I'm pretty sure that's Amy Schumer.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Yeah, I'm a big fan of hers. I think she's hilarious.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Amy Schumer is right.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Although not maybe the cleanest, Eggheads.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44No, I think you're safe there.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- On the edge.- You wouldn't watch it with your children.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49No, you wouldn't. Right.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51You have one, Seona,
0:11:51 > 0:11:52you've got to get this one right
0:11:52 > 0:11:54to stay in.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Without Feathers is a bestselling 1970s collection of humorous essays
0:11:58 > 0:12:00by whom?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02SHE EXHALES DEEPLY Is it...
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Oh.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I don't know.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I'm going to have to think this through.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Er...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I think I would go for either Steve Martin or Woody Allen.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I don't know why I don't think not Billy Crystal.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It'll probably turn out to be him.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28So, er...
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Oh, I'm not doing well here.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Um...
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Oh, I'll just go for Steve Martin.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It's actually Woody Allen. I'm sorry.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39And that's what I was going to say.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Oh, dear.- So, no way back in this round, Seona, you were beaten
0:12:42 > 0:12:44by our Egghead and won't able to take part in the final.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Steve, well done, you've booked your place in the final.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50So, so far, we've lost one Egghead and one has stayed in.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Come back, rejoin our teams, we'll see what happens in the next round.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Well, it is quite a tense contest, this.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00The Sohocentrics have lost one brain now from the final.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03The Eggheads have lost one, as well.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05And our next subject for you is Politics.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Oh, no!- Difficult.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Politics.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I'm no good at Politics.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- No.- Freddie?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Freddie, it has got to be you, or Elizabeth, or Karen.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21You know a bit about Politics, historically speaking, don't you?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Want to go for it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- I'll go for it. - Elizabeth.- Yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- My mum's going for it. - OK, Elizabeth, great.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29And choose an Egghead, Elizabeth.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It can't be Steve or Beth, so it's got to be one of the...
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Do we say the older Eggheads?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34You know what I mean by that.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- They're all very good at Politics. - More long-standing ones.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- The senior.- I'll choose Barry.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Barry, a very good choice, he's not had a run out for a while.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43There's a reason for that.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Well, he's got a good brain, just sometimes it's not switched on.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51THEY CHUCKLE Elizabeth from the Sohocentrics versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Please go to the Question Room now.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57OK, Politics, Elizabeth, against the great Barry.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Good luck. Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I'll go first, please.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07And here we go.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Which member of Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet was portrayed on the TV show
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Spitting Image with a grating voice
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and a Mr Whippy ice cream hair style?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I'll go for Norman Tebbit.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25TEAM GASPS
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Now, I do remember the Norman Tebbit puppet, I think he had big...
0:14:29 > 0:14:33big boots and was with a kind of donkey jacket, wasn't it?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Yes.- So, it wasn't this one.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36It was Douglas Hurd.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40He... I can't really do an impression.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42MIMICS DOUGLAS HURD: He talked a bit like that.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44The best-ever joke was on that.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49She's in the restaurant and I'll have steak and what about the vegetables?
0:14:49 > 0:14:50They'll have what I'm having.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52They'll have what I'm having.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57The best-ever joke about Mrs Thatcher.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59OK, Barry, your question.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03In which room does the Queen traditionally don her crown
0:15:03 > 0:15:05for the State Opening of Parliament?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I don't know this, but the obvious answer coming out at me there
0:15:14 > 0:15:16is The Robing Room, so I'll go for that.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I wondered if it might be a bit too obvious, Barry?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20It's trying to lure you in.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23It's the first question. I'm happy with going for The Robing Room.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26The Robing Room is correct.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28So, he's pulled slightly into the lead, Elizabeth.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Get this one right and draw level.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Who served as Vice President during Dwight Eisenhower's
0:15:35 > 0:15:38two terms as US President?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Was it...
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I think that was Richard Nixon.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51It was indeed Richard Nixon, you're quite right.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53OK, well done, you're level.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Barry, to take the lead, your question.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58What was Bill Clinton's surname at birth?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Well, Rodham was Hillary Clinton's surname at birth.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I don't know who was Booth,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09but I'm pretty certain Bill Clinton was called Blythe at birth.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12He was indeed Blythe.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14OK, Elizabeth, your question.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16And you need to get this one right.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22Which of these countries joined the European Union in 2004?
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Elizabeth, was it...
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Croatia was much more recent and so was Hungary.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I'll go for Austria.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Any of your team mates know?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Not sure.- Don't know.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39I would've gone for Hungary, but...
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Yeah, Hungary is the answer, Elizabeth.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Oh, well. That's me.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Not to worry, that's you.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47But it's not your team.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Still lots of hope, lots of petrol in the tank.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Barry, you're in the final round. Please come back to us, both of you,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54and we will play the last round before the final.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58So, as it stands, the Sohocentrics have lost two brains
0:16:58 > 0:17:00from the final round.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02The Eggheads have just lost the one.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The next subject is Music.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Who wants this?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07FREDDIE LAUGHS
0:17:07 > 0:17:08That's you, Karen, is it?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- I think it's going to have to be me, isn't it?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Freddie.- I don't know anything about music.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14- OK.- You really want me to do it?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Yeah.- Yeah. I'll do it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Are you confident? - Yeah. I'll do it.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Do it, Freddie. The artist.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23What have we got? We've got Chris or Pat.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Wouldn't call them artists, really.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Um...
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I'll go with Pat.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Freddie from the Sohocentrics is going to hurl himself
0:17:33 > 0:17:36against Pat from the Eggheads on Music.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Please go to the Question Room for the last time.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42So, Freddie, your musical taste.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Tell us?- Predominantly classical.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47And is that something that happened at some moment in your life?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50You were listening to, I don't know, punk rock, until the age of 30
0:17:50 > 0:17:53and then suddenly a switch flicked and you went to Beethoven?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Well, went to Haydn and Mozart and Beethoven, yeah.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58- Is that what happened?- Yeah.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Because I'm waiting... - I was listening to music
0:18:00 > 0:18:02in the late '70s, early '80s and...
0:18:03 > 0:18:08And suddenly it became very ethereal and depressing and I started
0:18:08 > 0:18:11to realise I had an ear for sound and the natural progression
0:18:11 > 0:18:14from that was classical to me.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Because I'm waiting for that moment still.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'm 51, it hasn't happened yet.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- I thought... I just assumed... - You're missing out.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I just thought at 40 there would be a moment where I would...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24It's not an age thing, Jeremy,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27it's whether or not you're open to the idea of...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I mean, I love music, all... A lot of music.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I mean, but classical is one of the deepest,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35most profound art forms there is.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Yeah. I'm open to it. Are you open to it, Pat?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Oh, yes.- I listen to a wide spread of music.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Hawaii Five-O, did you say?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- No, a wide spread.- Oh, I see!
0:18:44 > 0:18:45JEREMY LAUGHS
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Although, I have heard the Hawaii Five-O theme.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well, that theme tune, to be honest, is a great piece of classical music.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54It's not that profound, though, is it? The Hawaii Five-O theme.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56No, but it's got violins in it.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- It has, yes.- And no words, crucially, as well.- Yes.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01All right. Well, I think we've sorted that out.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Would you like to go first or second, Freddie?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04First.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10OK, I'm sensing a bit of purpose here.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12The skipper looks very determined.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Let's see.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I'll do everything I can for you on classical music,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17but I can't guarantee it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Who topped the UK charts in 2015
0:19:20 > 0:19:23with the single House Every Weekend?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Is that...
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Well, I quite like the answers you've put up there
0:19:31 > 0:19:35cos I've got no idea if the first two exist.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Um, or are they just a joke?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Um, and it being 2015, I genuinely don't know.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42So, Wayne... What's the name?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's kind of... Wayne Malice, is that right?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Wayne Malik.- Malik. I'll go for Wayne Malik.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Now, wait. Let's just check with the Eggheads here.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Is Wayne Malik a real person?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52- Never heard of him.- No, Zayn Malik.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Zayn Malik. I see, right, OK. I see, I see, I see.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Zayn Malik is in One Direction, is that right?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- Was.- Was in One Direction.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01So, Zayn Malik is a real person and was in One Direction,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04but this Wayne and Zayn, it's not the right answer, anyway.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Thanks. - The correct answer is David Zowie.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Yes, there is somebody with that name.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12I'm thinking there probably isn't anyone called Ziggy Pop.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Iggy Pop.- Iggy Pop, yes, there is.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Brilliant. OK, Pat, your question.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22What was the title of Samantha Fox's first UK top ten single?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I'm not sure about the sequence of her big hits,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33but she certainly had a song called Touch Me.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36"Touch me, touch me, I want to feel your body."
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Some very profound lyric of that sort.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42In the absence of any deeper Samantha Fox expertise,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I'll go for Touch Me.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Yeah. And there's you, claiming to like classical music a minute ago.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50It's a classic. Touch Me. Absolute classic.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Touch Me is the right answer.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57OK. Back to you, Freddie.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01The annual music trade and business show known as Midem
0:21:01 > 0:21:05established itself in which French city in the 1960s
0:21:05 > 0:21:09and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2016?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'd rather have the Samantha Fox question, so...
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I'm going to rule out Cannes
0:21:19 > 0:21:22because it's already got a big festival there.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Um, what's the name of the festival again?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Midem. M-I-D-E-M.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Avignon.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33No, it's Cannes.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34Ah!
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- After that.- So, we go to Pat.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Pat, you can take the round with this question.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45Who sang the first line on the 1985 USA for Africa charity single
0:21:45 > 0:21:46We Are The World?
0:21:50 > 0:21:51I can remember the chorus.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I'm not sure I can remember the first line.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58And I've only a dim memory of the song at all, or the video.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00They may all have been on it.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I have a strong feeling Lionel Richie was definitely
0:22:02 > 0:22:05amongst the group that recorded it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I'll go for Lionel Richie simply because I'm definite
0:22:09 > 0:22:11he was amongst the artists.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14If you've got this right, you've got two and there's no way back
0:22:14 > 0:22:16for our Challenger.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19See if the Eggheads know. Eggheads?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- I know what the line is.- Yeah. Steve's giving me a hand signal.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Yeah, brilliant. He's right.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Beth?- I just knew what the first line was, that's was...
0:22:26 > 0:22:27- What is the first line?- I believe...
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Here comes a time when we hear a certain call.- Oh, is that?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Oh, wrong song, then.- Here comes a time when we hear a certain call,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34when the world must come together as one.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37And then it's just "hello," after that, is it?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38THEY LAUGH
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Lionel Richie's right, Pat, you've taken the round.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Sorry, Freddie, you've been knocked out.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45No way back. Let's see how you do in the final.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Come back to us, both of you, and we'll play it.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It is time for the final round which as always is General Knowledge.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56We're going to see if the Eggheads are getting back on track.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57I'm afraid those of you who lost
0:22:57 > 0:23:01your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round, though.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04So, that's Freddie, Elizabeth and Seona from the Sohocentrics
0:23:04 > 0:23:06and also Beth from the Eggheads.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:10 > 0:23:15So, Tony and Karen, you're playing to win the Sohocentrics £2,000.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Barry, Steve, Pat and Chris,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19you're playing for something that money can't buy.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22The Eggheads' reputation and to get this show back on the road.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28You can confer.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31So, Sohocentrics, the question is,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34can your two brains defeat these four?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Good luck, Tony and Karen.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Would you like to go first, or second?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Um, I think we'd like to go first, please.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45All right. Here we go with your first question.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48The area known as Spanish Harlem
0:23:48 > 0:23:50is part of which American city?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- It's New York. Spanish Harlem.- Yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00We think it's New York.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02New York is quite right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Well done. All right, your question, Eggs.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08The words Ordem e Progresso
0:24:08 > 0:24:11are written on the flag of which South American country?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- CHRIS:- Brazil.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19They're by Comte, or somebody, they were called.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better. Yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23That's Brazil, Jeremy.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27It's written across the globe on the Brazilian flag.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Oh, yeah, on the globe, right.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30OK. Brazil is right.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Back to you.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Which Roman god is commonly identified
0:24:35 > 0:24:37with the Greek god Hermes?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- It's Mercury.- Hermes was the messenger, so it's...
0:24:43 > 0:24:44- It's Mercury. - It's Mercury, isn't it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Mercury, Jeremy, please.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Mercury is right. You're playing well in the final round here.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Maybe they're getting a bit uncomfortable, these Eggs.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Rattling around in their egg cups.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58LAUGHTER
0:24:58 > 0:25:01The Life And Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid
0:25:01 > 0:25:06is a 2006 childhood memoir by which author?
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Eggheads...
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- It's Bill Bryson. - Bryson. Yeah. Yeah.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14That is the wonderful Bill Bryson.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- You're a fan, Chris? - I've actually met Bill, in fact.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Yes, it's a memoir of him growing up in Des Moines, Iowa.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Bill Bryson is right.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Well done, Eggs.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27OK, your question.
0:25:27 > 0:25:33Which country elected Rodrigo Duterte as president in 2016?
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Is it...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Get this right, you've got three out of three.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Sounds like...
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- I don't know it, it sounds like Chile.- Chile.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45It doesn't sound Filipino, does it?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Or Angolan.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Shall we stick with Chile? - We'll stick with Chile.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50That was our first thought.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yeah, we'll stick with Chile, please, Jeremy.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55OK, we've had some trouble with presidents on this show recently.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Eggheads, do you know?
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Yeah, it's Philippines.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00He's known as Duterte Harry.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01- Oh, is he?- Yeah, Duterte Harry.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04He's a very hardline, maverick type.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06He's president of the Philippines.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Oh. Don't worry, you've got two out of three.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Let's see if it forces them to Sudden Death.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Eggheads, your question.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Which letter of the Greek alphabet
0:26:14 > 0:26:17formed the pattern on the shields
0:26:17 > 0:26:21of Spartan soldiers in Ancient Greece?
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Was it...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- Is it Omega? - I have a feeling it's lambda.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Oh, right.- It's certainly not alpha.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Just thinking, omega, it's like that, isn't it?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- I'm just trying to think.- Is there any science behind this at all?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Is there any reason they would have a particular letter?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40They were from Laconia province, weren't they?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I've seen the Sparta shield, I think it could...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- I think it could be lambda. - What's the symbol for lambda?
0:26:44 > 0:26:45How would it look?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- PAT:- Like an upside-down Y. Yeah.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Sparta was the capital city of Laconia, wasn't it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- It was, yes.- A bit tenuous. It might not have anything to do with it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54That might be the reason why.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I don't know. I don't know.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I just had it in my mind that it was lambda.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, a lambda like that is symmetrical.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05It would look good on a shield. So would omega, come to that.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I hope I'm right. I've just got it at the back of my...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10In 300, can you remember any of the scenes in 300?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Yeah.- What was on the shield?
0:27:12 > 0:27:13It was a load of nonsense, but, yes.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16I could sort of imagine a lambda on their shield in 300.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Barry's the classicist, so I'd go with lambda, yeah.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- I'll go with Barry. - Are we agreed with that?- Yeah.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24We think it's lambda, Jeremy.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Good old Barry's inklings.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Often reliable.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30The correct answer is lambda.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Well done, Barry. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35You have won!
0:27:40 > 0:27:42You pushed hard, Challengers.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Thanks for playing. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- Has it been OK?- We've enjoyed it. - Yeah, we've had a great time.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50They're just beginning to fire up the cylinders again, these Eggs.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Well done, Barry, on the last question there.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- That reboot obviously worked.- You've got a little memory of something.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Not even knowing where the memory's from sometimes.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00It's the new shirt that's done it, isn't it?
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Maybe the change of shirt because the other one had been on for several years, you're right.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Commiserations, Sohocentrics. Sorry to see you lose here.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11The Eggheads have done what is starting to come naturally again.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14They do reign supreme over quizland.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17It means the Challengers don't go home with the £2,000.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19So, why don't we roll that money over to the next show?
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Eggheads, well done.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:24 > 0:28:26have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29£3,000 is here for them to play for.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Until then, goodbye.
