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 > 0:00:19The question is... Can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And you've got a bit of attitude about you today, Eggheads.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Oh, yes. We're what you might call EWA.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Eggs with attitude.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40THEY LAUGH
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Right. Well, challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:43 > 0:00:46are The Out of Date Beer Vouchers.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Now, this team from Warwickshire all quiz together at The White Swan
0:00:49 > 0:00:51in Henley-in-Arden.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Let's meet them.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Mike, and I'm a retired clinical researcher.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Paul, and I'm a director of my own marketing company.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Bernie, and I'm a non-executive director.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Pete. I'm the managing director
0:01:04 > 0:01:06of a small manufacturing company.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Richard, I'm a project development manager
0:01:08 > 0:01:10in the electricity industry.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12So, Mike and team, welcome.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Great to see you. Got to ask you, Mike, about the team name.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Well, Jeremy, first time we ever quizzed together
0:01:19 > 0:01:20was at our local pub,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23and we were fortunate enough to win
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and the prize was beer vouchers.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Three weeks later, we went back to the pub,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30said, "We'd like some beer, please,"
0:01:30 > 0:01:32and they said, "Sorry, mate, they're out of date."
0:01:32 > 0:01:36So, hence, they did relent and they honoured them in the end.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38They weren't even joking, they were quite serious.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- No, they were serious!- They were expired?- They were expired.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42That ever happened to any of you?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43They usually do it on a six-day thing
0:01:43 > 0:01:45so you've got to go back before the next quiz.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46That's it, yeah.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Oh, is that right?- Yeah.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Oh, I see. Well, listen, good luck, Out of Date Beer Vouchers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Thank you.- Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:54 > 0:01:55up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03So, Out of Date Beer Vouchers, after a bit of a difficult time,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05the Eggheads have got back on the road,
0:02:05 > 0:02:06they've won the last two games,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09they've started to have a bit of a swagger,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and that means £3,000 is on the table for you to win.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Would you like to try? - Absolutely.- Yes, we would.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Good stuff, I love it!
0:02:15 > 0:02:19So, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21and you can choose between Judith, Beth, Pat,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Steve and Chris.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Richard.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27- That came up nicely.- Yeah.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28- Who do you want?- I'm Geography.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32So, difficult choice, but I think it's going to be Judith.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK. So, Richard, from Out of Date Beer Vouchers
0:02:35 > 0:02:38versus the very much IN date Judith Keppel.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Are you happy with that?- It sounded insincere.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43THEY LAUGH
0:02:43 > 0:02:46To ensure there's no conferring, would you...
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52All right, Richard, your choice.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Would you like to go first or second against Judith?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And here we go. Good luck.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Which of these peninsulas is part of Egypt?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Hopefully, that's fairly straightforward.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15The answer is Sinai.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Sinai is correct.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Judith, your question. Which motorway
0:03:20 > 0:03:22links Southampton to London?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Southampton to London? - Southampton to London.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I know it quite well. It's the M3.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It is the M3. Well done. Do you go on it a lot?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well, yes, I do, I do go on it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37My parents used to live down it...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39on the way to Southampton.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Right. This was almost your perfect question.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Yes. Good one.- OK. Richard, your question.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46The country of Zambia
0:03:46 > 0:03:48is bordered by how many countries?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Wow. Well, it's definitely not one.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I think Botswana, Zimbabwe,
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Malawi, definitely...
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Probably DRC. I think there's more than three,
0:04:03 > 0:04:08so on that basis, I'm going to make a punt and go for eight.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Eight is correct.- Yay.- Well done.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14OK, Judith, your question.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20JFK airport is located in which of New York's five boroughs?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Well, it's not in Manhattan, because that's covered in skyscrapers,
0:04:26 > 0:04:27so it wouldn't be a good idea.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Oh, Lord. Do you know? I don't know.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32It had never occurred to me to think about it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Queens.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Queens is quite right.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- That's a relief.- OK.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Back to you, Richard.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Trying to get three out of three here.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44What is the approximate population of Mexico?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51OK, so Mexico City is a very big city,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I think that has 20 million in itself.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I don't think it's as much as 200,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and I don't think it's as few as 40.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07So I'm going to shoot down the middle here and go for 120 million.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08- Yes, you're quite right.- Well done.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11120 million. Three out of three, so...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Let's see, Judith. You've got to get
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- this one right.- I know. - Feeling focused?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- I am.- Here we go.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22The national flag of which of these South American countries
0:05:22 > 0:05:26features a white star in the upper hoist corner?
0:05:31 > 0:05:32I'm hopeless at flags.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I simply can't get a flag into my head.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Well, it's not Argentina
0:05:36 > 0:05:39cos that's got something blue in the middle.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Brazil's got something funny in the middle.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I think it's Chile...
0:05:45 > 0:05:47..because I've eliminated the others.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Yes, on the basis that Argentina's got something blue in the middle,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52and Brazil's got something funny in the middle.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It's got a coffee bean or something, I don't know what it is.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56It's a globe, isn't it? I don't know.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Anyway, Chile's right.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Chile's right. Doesn't matter what the others have got.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Well done. Three out of three for you both.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Oh, it's a bit tense, here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04So we go to Sudden Death, Richard.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05- OK.- It gets a little bit harder
0:06:05 > 0:06:08cos I don't give you alternative options. Are you ready?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I am.
0:06:10 > 0:06:17The 1,972 feet-tall Abraj Al-Bait Towers,
0:06:17 > 0:06:21also known as the Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24is a feature of which country?
0:06:25 > 0:06:26I don't know.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33But I do know there's been a lot of tall building in Dubai,
0:06:33 > 0:06:34so it could be Dubai.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38So I'm just going to go for Dubai.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It's Saudi Arabia, I'm afraid.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Bad luck.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I completely bought your logic there.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Judith, you can get the round with this.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53The Taklamakan Desert occupies approximately 125,000 square miles
0:06:53 > 0:06:55of which Asian country?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58My son walked across it...
0:07:00 > 0:07:04..and stayed in a yurt and wrote the most wonderful letter from the yurt,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06it was really poetic.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Where was he? Well, he was west of China, I think.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It could, I suppose, still be China.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I think I'm going to say China, because I can't...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I think it might still be in China.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- You're right.- It is?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- China is correct, yes, west of China is China, it turns out.- Yeah.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Judith, you've got it, on Geography.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Well done. Sorry, Richard, you played very well.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- OK.- Just the tiny little thing with the tower.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33So you've been knocked out. Judith will be in the final round.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Please both of you come back, and we'll play on.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39So, as it stands, The Out of Date Beer Vouchers
0:07:39 > 0:07:41have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45The next subject is Film & TV.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Which Voucher would like this?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Pete, over to you.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Peter.- Pretty simple, not much discussion.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Pete, OK. Who would you like to take on?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Chris? Did we say Chris?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Mike? Did we say Chris?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57We'll take Chris.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59OK, Pete, from The Out of Date Beer Vouchers,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02versus Chris. So let's see what happens.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Please go to our Question Room now.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06All right, so Film & TV.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Pete, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'd like to go first, Jeremy, please.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Here is your first question.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Which of these TV characters is best known
0:08:18 > 0:08:21for his expert knowledge of antiques? Pete, is it...
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Oh, that takes me back.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I do remember watching this back in the day.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33I think it was the '80s.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34I'd go Lovejoy.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Lovejoy's quite right.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Well done. Chris, your question.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Which businessman has been
0:08:39 > 0:08:45a Dragon on the first 14 series of the TV show Dragons' Den?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well, not Richard Branson.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Alan Sugar does The Apprentice, so it's got to be Peter Jones.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57It is Peter Jones. Yeah, the tall guy.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Yeah.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00OK, Pete, who provided the voice
0:09:00 > 0:09:02of grown-up Elsa
0:09:02 > 0:09:05in the 2013 animated film Frozen?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12That's a very good question.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13I know the movie,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15but I have to admit that I don't
0:09:15 > 0:09:18recognise any of those three names,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21and so it's going to be a complete guess.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I'll go...Kristen Bell.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Let's check with an Egghead. Beth?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29No, Kristen Bell played Anna, Elsa's sister.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Elsa was voiced by Idina Menzel.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Idina Menzel is the answer.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Unlucky, Pete.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Chris, your question.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39The BBC sports presenter Hazel Irvine
0:09:39 > 0:09:41is from which part of the UK?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Well, Irvine, the town, is in Scotland,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50so on that basis, I will say Scotland.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Yeah, you know who we mean, don't you?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Yeah, I know. Yeah. - You've heard her speak?
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Can't say I'd call her to mind.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57She's got a Scottish accent.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Has she?- Yes, she's Scottish.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Scotland is the answer.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Thought she might have been from Northern Ireland.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Yeah, well, that's true, she could have maybe moved.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Yeah.- OK.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Pete, your question, and you need to
0:10:07 > 0:10:09get this right, Pete, to stay in.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Which actress became the second wife of Steven Spielberg in 1991?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23I actually know the answer, I think,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26cos she starred in one of the Raiders Of The Lost Ark movies,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29or the Harrison Ford Raiders movies.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Kate Capshaw.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It is, indeed, Kate Capshaw.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33- Well done.- Nice one, Pete.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Well done.- So, we're level.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Chris, you have the advantage.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41If you get this question right, you've knocked out Pete.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45In the 2016 survival film The Shallows,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Blake Lively's character is hunted by what type of creature?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59I believe he gets hunted by a crocodile.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- He is a woman.- Right.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Have you seen it, or...?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05No, I've heard of it. Sharks tend to be pelagic,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07and anacondas are up South American rivers,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09so in the shallows, it would be a crocodile.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Got it. Let's see if the Eggheads think you're right.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Eggs?- Blake Lively's a woman.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14I think it's a shark.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17The crocodile was not in the film.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18- Must be a shark, then.- It may have
0:11:18 > 0:11:20swam alongside her during filming,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22but it was not a part of the film.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Shark is the answer.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Oh, right.- OK?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27So we go to Sudden Death. Well done, Pete, that was...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29You held your nerve there.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31So we go to Sudden Death. I don't give you options.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Here's your question. In the TV soap EastEnders,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38what is the first name of Grant and Phil Mitchell's sister?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39A wild guess...
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Susan.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Samantha is the answer, or Sam.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Chris, you could take the round with this.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50The name of which American city
0:11:50 > 0:11:54features in the title of a 1995 Nicolas Cage film?
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Las Vegas.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Yes, the film was Leaving Las Vegas.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59You're absolutely right. So on Sudden Death, you got it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02So, both times, they've just squeaked in, Challengers.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Chris, you're through to the final,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Pete, sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Bad luck, Pete.- Come back to us.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08And we'll play another round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12As it stands, The Out of Date Beer Vouchers
0:12:12 > 0:12:13have lost two brains,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16and both of them on Sudden Death, so...
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It's almost like you've presented your vouchers to the Eggheads
0:12:18 > 0:12:20and they've said they were just a day out.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Exactly.- The Eggheads have not lost any,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24they're just sitting there. They're looking smug.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Oh...- Who wants Arts & Books?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, nobody wants it, but I think I'm going to take it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33OK, Paul. Against which Egghead?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34And you can have...
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Let's see - Steve, Pat or Beth.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37So, any of the three in the middle.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Guys...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41OK, we'll take Steve, please, Jeremy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Very good. So, Paul from The Out of Date Beer Vouchers
0:12:44 > 0:12:46playing one of our newest Eggheads, Steve.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Arts & Books. Paul, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59And good luck to you. Here is your question.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Which of these Lord Of The Rings characters has the surname Gamgee?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, it's absolutely not a strong point, this.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16And Baggins is the only surname I'm really aware of on Lord Of The Rings
0:13:16 > 0:13:19which of course is Bilbo, so I'm going to guess Frodo.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Team-mates?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- No, it's Samwise.- Samwise.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Steve.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30The titles of how many plays attributed to William Shakespeare
0:13:30 > 0:13:33feature the name Henry VI?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- That's three, Jeremy.- Just part one, part two, part three, is it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Yeah, simple as that.- Three is correct.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Back to you, Paul.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45The pop art movement,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48in which commonplace objects such as comic strips, soup cans,
0:13:48 > 0:13:53and hamburgers were used as subject matter, began in which decade?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Pop art.- Pop art movement.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Well, I'm associating that with Andy Warhol,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05which was obviously sort of commercially big in the '60s,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08so I'm going to guess 1950s.
0:14:08 > 0:14:091950s is quite right.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Well done.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13So we go back to you, Steve.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14To take the lead.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Which Charles Dickens character has a nephew named Fred,
0:14:18 > 0:14:23a sister named Fan, and an ex-fiancee named Belle?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Yeah, I think... The Ghost of Christmas Past
0:14:32 > 0:14:35is leading me to Ebenezer Scrooge with this question.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Ebenezer Scrooge...
0:14:37 > 0:14:39is the right answer.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40So he's got two,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42you've got one, Paul.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45And it's a good idea to get this one right.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51Here we go. Which bestselling author created the Women's Murder Club
0:14:51 > 0:14:52series of murder mysteries?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Haven't got a clue about that.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'm going to guess Baldacci, but I really don't know.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Shall we check with Steve? Do you know?
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Because he's the most prolific,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I might have gone James Patterson, but...
0:15:09 > 0:15:10I really don't know.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Yeah, James Patterson is the answer.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15He is very prolific. Oh, dear, Paul, I'm so sorry.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Steve has won. Steve has triumphed, and he will be in the final round.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21So you've got to keep slugging away here, Challengers.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24It's not beyond hope, not by any manner or means.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Come back, and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31So, as it stands, The Out of Date Beer Vouchers
0:15:31 > 0:15:33have lost three brains from the final round.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37The next subject is Sport.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Oh...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Bad or good?- Good.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Good.- I'd better not say that, because I may embarrass myself.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Yeah, I'll take that.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45OK, Bernie. Against which Egghead?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- And I'll take Beth.- OK, fine.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Could see that coming!
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Was it too obvious?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Are the Challengers going to win a round here before the final?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Bernie from Out of Date Beer Vouchers
0:15:56 > 0:15:58versus Beth from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Please go to the Question Room for the last time.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Well, Beth, you've won two of your last three Sport rounds.- Mm.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09There we are. Bernie, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I'll see if I can change our luck by going second.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Oh, OK.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19This is exciting. Here we go.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Beth, your question.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Which team knocked England
0:16:22 > 0:16:25out of the 2016 European Football Championships?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Exceptionally embarrassing for the England football team
0:16:31 > 0:16:33that they were knocked out by Iceland.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Iceland is the right answer, Beth, well done.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Your question, Bernie.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41In athletics, a decathlon competition lasts for how many days?
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Bernie, is it...
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Yeah, this is...
0:16:47 > 0:16:51..five events per day for two days, so the answer's two.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Two is correct. Well done.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Beth, back to you.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Here's your question.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Who was the first woman
0:16:59 > 0:17:01to win four Olympic gold medals for Great Britain?
0:17:05 > 0:17:13Kelly Holmes famously won two in 2004, in Athens.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Rebecca Adlington won two, but wasn't able...two in Beijing,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21but wasn't able to repeat that in London, 2012.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23So the answer's got to be Laura Trott.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Very good. Laura Trott, it is.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27So, to catch up, your question, Bernie.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30The basketball player Magic Johnson
0:17:30 > 0:17:33spent his whole career with which NBA team?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Well, Magic Johnson...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It was Michael Jordan was the famous player for the Bulls,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Larry Bird the very famous one for the Celtics.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Now, that doesn't necessarily mean
0:17:52 > 0:17:54that Magic Johnson didn't play for either of those two,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57but I think I'll go for LA Lakers.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Nicely done. You're right, LA Lakers, it is.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- This is impressive.- Well done, Bernie.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Beth, to you.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Which cricket umpire was nicknamed Slow Death
0:18:07 > 0:18:10due to the theatrically protracted manner
0:18:10 > 0:18:14in which his finger was raised to give a batsman out?
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Well, Dickie Bird,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24that's already a nickname, so I don't think it's him.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Billy Bowden...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Wasn't he the New Zealand one
0:18:28 > 0:18:32that always had a crooked finger when he raised an out?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35So it could be Rudi Koertzen.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- SHE SIGHS - Oh...
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Billy Bowden.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41It's Rudy Koertzen.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Oh, sh...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I thought you were going straight there!
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Hm!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49So, your chance to take the round, here, Bernie,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51on the third question.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Jack Laugher and Chris Mears are famous names in which sport?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03I can confidently say water was definitely involved, but, yeah,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05they were synchronised divers
0:19:05 > 0:19:08who won a gold in the Rio Olympics, so diving.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Diving is the right answer, well done,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12you're in the final round.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Maybe turning things around.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Sorry, Beth, been knocked out, on the umpire.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Should have gone, should have done it, should have just...
0:19:19 > 0:19:22So, we've got quite a final to come.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Please return. We'll play it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29So, the Challengers bouncing back at just the right moment, maybe.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Let's see. This is the moment we have been playing towards.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34It is time for our final round
0:19:34 > 0:19:37which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:39 > 0:19:42won't be allowed to take part in this round, so that's Paul, Pete,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44and Richard from The Out of Date Beer Vouchers.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46And also Beth, from the Eggheads.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Mike and Bernie,
0:19:51 > 0:19:52you are playing to win
0:19:52 > 0:19:55The Out of Date Beer Vouchers £3,000.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Chris, Steve, Pat and Judith,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07You can confer, gentlemen.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09So, Out of Date Beer Vouchers,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12the question is, can your two brains overwhelm these four?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14And would you like to go first or second?
0:20:14 > 0:20:19We'll follow the pattern and go second to win.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Hey, second to win.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Let's see. First question, then, to the Eggheads.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Which actress appeared with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in the Road To...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33series of films?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38It's Dorothy Lamour.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39- Yeah?- Yeah.- Think so, yeah.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42We think that's Dorothy Lamour.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44It is Dorothy Lamour.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Well done. Chris, at the end there,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47piping up.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Challengers. In law enforcement,
0:20:49 > 0:20:55the acronym SWAT stands for Special Weapons And what?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Fairly sure it's tactics. You said that before it came out.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01I'm absolutely certain it's
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Special Weapons And Tactics.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Targets, terrorists.- Yeah.- OK.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07We're fairly confident
0:21:07 > 0:21:08on this one, Jeremy.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11We think it's tactics.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Tactics is absolutely right.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Eggheads, who ran against
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Jeremy Corbyn in the September 2016
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Labour leadership contest?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Owen Smith.- Owen Smith.- Owen Smith.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Yeah? We think that's Owen Smith.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Owen Smith is correct.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So, to catch up, your second question.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Which planet in our solar system is closest in size to Earth?
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Venus or Mars, I thought.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44It was either Venus or Mars.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46So... I think Saturn's...
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Saturn's huge, Mercury's small. - Yeah.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50And Venus is slightly smaller.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- Slightly smaller.- Yeah.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Venus, we think, is very nearly
0:21:54 > 0:21:56the same size as the Earth,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59so our answer is Venus.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Venus is correct.- Thank you.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Your question, Eggheads.
0:22:04 > 0:22:11The Indian Kailash Satyarthi was awarded which Nobel prize in 2014?
0:22:14 > 0:22:15- Peace.- He shared it with
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Malala Yousafzay, didn't he?
0:22:17 > 0:22:18What was he?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Charities, wasn't he?- Peace?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22He shared it with Malala Yousafzay.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Oh, yes. Right.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- Yeah, happy with that?- Yeah.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28We think that's peace.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Peace is the right answer.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32They have got three out of three,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- which is a little bit annoying. - Very.- Makes it tougher for you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You must get this right to keep the contest alive.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Get it right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Get it wrong, it's over.
0:22:41 > 0:22:47Challengers, in 2000, the title of Grand Duke Henri
0:22:47 > 0:22:52was bestowed upon the head of state of which European nation?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Henri, H-E-N-R-I.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59This to stay in.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Luxembourg's a duchy, isn't it?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Luxembourg is a duchy.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Yeah, I think it's Luxembourg.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Netherlands...- Netherlands is a kingdom.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Henri doesn't...doesn't ring true.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- No.- So, French-speaking Belgium.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Belgium is a kingdom, so...
0:23:12 > 0:23:14So Grand Duke would, you'd think...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16And I don't know his name, I used to know...
0:23:16 > 0:23:17I was going to Luxembourg
0:23:17 > 0:23:19quite a lot a few years ago, but...
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I can't fault...
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Just one pause for a second,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I can't fault your logic on...
0:23:24 > 0:23:26You assume he is the Grand Duke...
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- And it's a duchy.- And the other two
0:23:28 > 0:23:29are a kingdom, so... Yeah.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32We're not absolutely sure, Jeremy,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35but our thinking is that the Netherlands and Belgium
0:23:35 > 0:23:37are monarchies with kings,
0:23:37 > 0:23:38or queens,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40whereas Luxembourg is a duchy
0:23:40 > 0:23:41and therefore a Grand Duke
0:23:41 > 0:23:43would be the head of state,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45we think, so we'll go
0:23:45 > 0:23:46for Luxembourg.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You're absolutely right. Well done.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Three out of three for you, as well.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Luxembourg, it is. Quizzing well.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53They've got a bit of something,
0:23:53 > 0:23:54these Challengers, haven't they?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- They have.- There's something about them.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57OK, we go to Sudden Death.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Eggheads, gets a bit tougher, I don't give you choices.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03The Ponte Dei Sospiri in Venice
0:24:03 > 0:24:06is known by which English name?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Bridge of Sighs?- Bridge of Sighs.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Bridge of Sighs?- Yeah. - Bridge of Sighs.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12That's the Bridge of Sighs, Jeremy.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14The Bridge of Sighs is right.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16To stay in, and keep the contest alive,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18your Sudden Death question.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Which star sign falls after Gemini and before Leo in the calendar?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27I'm on the cusp of Cancer...
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Leo, I'm July 21st, I'm on the cusp of Cancer and Leo.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Therefore it must be Cancer, I think.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34- You're happy with that?- Yeah.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36OK, I'll take your word for it.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41- Cancer.- My colleague is very confident that the answer is...
0:24:41 > 0:24:42- Cancer.- Cancer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44You've got it absolutely right, Bernie, well done.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Cancer, it is. So, Sudden Death.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48The Out of Date Beer Vouchers are...
0:24:48 > 0:24:51sailing along quite happily, here, at the moment, Eggheads.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53One false move from you...
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Yeah.- I think you're going down the hatch.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Here's your question.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Which royal house came to power in France
0:25:00 > 0:25:04with the accession of Henry IV in 1589?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07The Bourbons?
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Is it Bourbon?
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- Or de Valois?- It's not... Valois went before, weren't it?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- I think.- Yeah, there were lots before...
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Are we talking Henri of Navarre?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Henri of Navarre, we're talking about.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Is he Bourbon?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Yeah, so...- Bourbons.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Or were Bourbons later?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25What else could they be rather than Bourbons?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Well, yeah, if we're saying Valois were earlier.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Was it Henry IV of Navarre?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Yeah.- Henry of Navarre is different to Henry Capet.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Yeah, definitely.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Back.- Valois.- Henry IV of Navarre.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40I think that came after Capet, but I'm not...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Chris, what do you think?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Could be, because the Bourbons went back quite a way...
0:25:45 > 0:25:46because Louis XIV was a Bourbon.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Yeah, but that's 16-something.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Yeah.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Yeah, so... So...
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Louis XIV, XV, XVI...
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Go backwards...- ..were they?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- They're Bourbons.- They're definitely Bourbon kings.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02So Louis XIII was before Louis XIV.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Oh, yes.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- What dates was he?- Louis XIV were on the throne for ever, weren't he,
0:26:06 > 0:26:07about 70-odd years.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Yeah, he was 1650 to 17...
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- So before him.- And if he were a Bourbon king...
0:26:11 > 0:26:12- Yeah.- I think it's very unlikely
0:26:12 > 0:26:15to think that Henry IV were the first Valois
0:26:15 > 0:26:16and were reigning for 40 year.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Yes, I quite agree.- It's got to precede that, hasn't it?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Yeah.- I think it's got to...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22So we're back on Bourbons, are we?
0:26:22 > 0:26:23I think it's got to be Bourbon.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24- Yeah.- Bourbons?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- OK?- Yeah.- I think it's Bourbon.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28OK. Yeah. OK. We're going to go for Bourbon.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Bourbon is the right answer.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Well done, team.- Very well played, Eggheads.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37There's a lot of dates, a lot of facts coming out, there.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- The tension!- OK. So, here we are.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42You let them go first.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44They've managed to keep the initiative,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47which puts you in a slightly dangerous position,
0:26:47 > 0:26:48perched on the edge!
0:26:48 > 0:26:50You must get this right.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53In Greek mythology, who was the brother and
0:26:53 > 0:26:55husband of the goddess Rhea?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59One name that comes to mind is Apollo
0:26:59 > 0:27:02because he had multiple relationships,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04but it may have been further up the...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07up the hierarchical sort of line.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09My mind's gone blank on Greek gods.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11It's either right or wrong, but, I mean,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14it's not necessarily a million miles away, but...
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I can't think of a better alternative at the moment,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19and even if I could, it wouldn't be better,
0:27:19 > 0:27:20it would just be another one.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Yeah.- So...- Go on, go with your first guess.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- So we've just got to be one guess. - Go with your first guess.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30Jeremy, we are not at all sure, you may have gathered that.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33The punt is Apollo.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Let's just see, Eggheads, are they right?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Cronus.- Cronus?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Cronus is the right answer.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- It was further up the line.- I'm not sure I'd have brought him to mind.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Cronus, Cronus.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55So, further up the line in the sense of, what he was older than...
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Yeah, they go back further, they are more senior, more ancient.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Is that right, Cronus was way back?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- Yeah.- One of the first.- Apollo's brother were Artemis,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05sister were Artemis.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06- OK.- Before my time.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11- Even my time.- Well, get the beer vouchers out now,
0:28:11 > 0:28:12and we'll certainly accept them.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15You've been a great team, thank you very much for coming and playing.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16- Thank you.- Commiserations to you.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20so they reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21They're very good, aren't they?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It does mean that the Challengers are not going home with the £3,000.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26We'll take the money, we'll roll it over to the next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Eggheads, well done.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:31 > 0:28:35have the brains to defeat these Eggheads.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37£4,000 says they don't.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Shall we quiz again? Goodbye.
