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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 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 > 0:00:36Taking on our quiz champions today are the Magnetos.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, most of this team from Northamptonshire
0:00:38 > 0:00:42are members of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain. Let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Chris, I'm a mechanical development manager.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Charles and I'm a company director.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Susie. I'm a retired radiographer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Alan and I'm a property surveyor.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Geoff. I'm a retired clerical officer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Chris and team, welcome.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01- ALL:- Hello. - Good to see you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Thank you very much for coming. Just tell us, Chris,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06the connection is sort of through cars, in a way, isn't it?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Yes. We originally decided to put together a team
0:01:08 > 0:01:13at the Veteran Car Club and we chose the team name for that reason,
0:01:13 > 0:01:18cos we were originally going to have The Bright Sparks,
0:01:18 > 0:01:19but that seemed a bit obvious.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22So, we decided to use the magneto,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25which is a device on an old car engine for producing sparks.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Did we know that? Did we know what a magneto was?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- No. It just comes from X-Men in my world.- X-Men.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Yeah. There's a more, that's right, up-to-date connection, I guess.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36So, good luck, Magnetos.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Every day there is £1000-worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46the prize money rolls over to the next show. So, Magnetos,
0:01:46 > 0:01:47the Eggheads are just getting into their stride.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51They've won the last three. So, there's £4,000 to win today.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52- Would you like to try?- Yeah.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Yes, we certainly would.- The first head-to-head is on the subject of
0:01:56 > 0:02:00History and you can choose Judith, Beth, Kevin, Pat or Steve.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Who wants to have a go at History?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Yeah?- Do you want me to do it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08No, I think I might save you
0:02:08 > 0:02:12because there's a few of us could do History. So, probably Geoff or me.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Do you fancy having a go? - Yeah, I'll have a go at history.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- OK, so, Geoff will have a go at history.- All right, Geoff.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Our retired clerical officer, Geoff.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Against which Egghead?- I think...
0:02:23 > 0:02:24..I will try...
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- ..Beth.- Geoff from the Magnetos versus Beth from the Eggheads.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Please go to our legendary Question Room now.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Good luck, Geoff. And on History,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39would you like to go first or second, Geoff?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I think I will go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47OK. Here we go.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Violette Szabo found fame for her exploits
0:02:51 > 0:02:53as a secret agent during which war?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01It doesn't sound like it would be anything from the Korean War.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I've read a little bit about World War II,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and her name hasn't come up there.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I will choose the Crimean War, please.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Anyone know on your side?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- It's World War II.- World War II.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Sorry, it is World War II, Geoff. - Ah.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22So, Beth, your question.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25The gunpowder plot in which rebels plotted to blow up Parliament
0:03:25 > 0:03:29and kill James I of England took place in which century?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Beth, was it...?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- That's the 17th century.- 17th it is.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Geoff, back to you.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41What term is most commonly used to describe
0:03:41 > 0:03:46the breakaway of the Confederate States in the American Civil War?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I would definitely rule out Procession.
0:03:56 > 0:04:02And I don't think it's Concession, so I will go for Secession.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04That's right. They seceded. Secession.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Beth, in which modern-day country
0:04:08 > 0:04:12is the explorer and navigator John Cabot
0:04:12 > 0:04:14thought to have been born?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Pretty sure it's not Ivory Coast.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26There was a lot of navigators coming from Italy, explorers.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28But why would he be called John?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32You would expect him to be called, I don't know,
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Giovanni, or...
0:04:35 > 0:04:36..something like that.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I'm going to go with Ireland,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43just because John doesn't sound a very Italian name.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45OK. Eggheads?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It was Anglicised. So, she mentioned Giovanni.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Yeah.- And his original name was Giovanni Caboto. He was from Venice.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- Oh, really?- And Anglicised when he came to work for Henry VII.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01So, his original name, Beth, was Giovanni Caboto.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04From Venice to work for Henry VII.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Italy is the answer. You had a bit of a let-off there, Geoff.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Press the advantage now.- Yes.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12The principal magistrates of which ancient city-state
0:05:12 > 0:05:14were called Archons?
0:05:19 > 0:05:24None of these civilisations I'm very well educated on,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27but I'm going to go for...
0:05:29 > 0:05:30..Athens.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33And Athens is the right answer.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Well done.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Nice work. OK, Beth, to stay in, you need to get this right.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40What phrase did the Duke of Wellington use
0:05:40 > 0:05:46to describe his own troops in an 1813 letter to Lord Bathurst?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Oh, this is... This is something I don't know.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I would like to think he thought of them as the cream of the crop.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Cream of the crop. Let's just get a bit of wisdom here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04What's the answer, Steve? I can see you shaking your head.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Scum of the earth. - Why is it scum of the earth?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I just think they were a ragtag mob, basically.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Scum of the earth is right, Beth.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So, you've gone out to Geoff over three questions.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Well done, Geoff, good start. Well done.- Thank you.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Knocked out an Egghead on History and you will be in the final round,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Beth won't. Come back to us, please, and we'll play on.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28As it stands, the Magnetos have not lost any brains.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Well done.- Thank you. - All five still there.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33The Eggheads have lost one, they're down to four.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34The next subject is Geography.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Now, which Magneto likes Geography?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Oh, Lordy. - Driving around in your cars.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I think you should have a go at the Geography, Susie.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Would you have a go at that? - Looks like me.- Yes, I think so.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48OK, Susie, our retired radiographer, against which Egghead?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Anyone, but Beth. - I'm just trying to think.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Maybe...- Judith. Can I have Judith?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55No, don't go with Judith because Judith's not very good
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- if Sport comes up.- OK. - I think maybe Steve.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- What do you think?- Steve.- Steve.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03We sort of match, don't we?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Yes.- You match, yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Nice.- We don't clash. - You can't have Judith, you'd clash.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- That would be no good. - Yeah, that wouldn't work.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- Different shades of...- Yes, yes.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- ..of purple.- Yes.- OK.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18So, Susie from Magnetos versus the other newer Egghead, Steve.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Steve, I was just remembering that you were saying that you would buy
0:07:27 > 0:07:30your son a dog if you became an Egghead.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32And I should ask you if you did.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Things we say when we think we've got no chance of winning.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yeah, I did, I bought him a Miniature Schnauzer.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- And how old's your son?- He's eight.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42So... Oh, well, he'll be loving that.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Oh, he will. Yeah, he loves him. - Yeah. What's the dog's name?
0:07:45 > 0:07:46- Sonny.- Sonny.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Shout out to Sonny.- OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Very good. On Geography then, Susie,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53would you like to go first or second?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I would prefer to go first, please.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00And here is your first question. Good luck.
0:08:00 > 0:08:06Which coastal African country is bordered by Algeria and Libya?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Is this...?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13It's not Sudan because that's landlocked.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20It's not Angola because that is much further south.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21I think it's Tunisia.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Yes, it is Tunisia.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Tunisia is right. Well done. Steve, on to you.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Which of these is a monetary unit of China?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Right, I think it's usually better known as the Yuan,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38but it's Renminbi.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Renminbi is correct.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Back to you, Susie.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46What name is commonly given to the landscaped lawns
0:08:46 > 0:08:51and gardens of the main colleges adjacent to the river in Cambridge?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Oh.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Not sure, so I'll try and be logical.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03I suppose it could be...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06..any, couldn't it? I don't think it's The Backs.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Probably wrong.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I think it's The Fronts.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16The Fronts is your answer. Team?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Backs.- It's The Backs. - Oh, it is The Backs.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Oh.- It is The Backs.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Steve, see if you get to the front now.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Which Scottish city's most prominent geographical feature
0:09:29 > 0:09:33is an extinct volcano known as The Law?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I was hoping you were going to say Arthur's Seat.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42I've never heard of this.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47Because I know Arthur's Seat's in Edinburgh, I'll rule that out.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I don't know about any being in Glasgow,
0:09:49 > 0:09:50so, I'll say Dundee,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54on the flimsiest logic.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Used a series of eliminations.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Dundee's right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02So, Susie, you need to get this one right...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- I do.- ..to stay in contention.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Roxbury, Mattapan and Beacon Hill
0:10:07 > 0:10:11are all residential areas of which US city?
0:10:15 > 0:10:16I really don't know.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I think I'm going to say San Francisco.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23It is Boston, Susie.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26It is Boston. Steve, well done.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30You were challenged, you came through, you're in the final.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Bit of a fillet for the Eggheads, that.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34And, Susie, you've been knocked out, I'm sorry.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Please come back, we'll play the next round.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40So, as it stands, the Magnetos have lost one brain from the final round
0:10:40 > 0:10:43whilst the Eggheads have also lost one.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46The next subject for you, Challengers, is Music.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Music.- Music.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Right.- Food of love.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I think, Charles, will you have a go at the Music for us?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- I'll do Music.- You'll do Music?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- OK, right. Good man.- OK, Charles, company director.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58And who would you like to take on?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It's going to be Pat or Kevin or Judith.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02One of the more classical Eggheads.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Yes, I think... Yeah. - I'll play against Judith, please.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Very good. So, it's going to be Charles from the Magnetos
0:11:08 > 0:11:11and, Judith. Music. Have you had a run-out on that recently?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Yes, I've had three run-outs lately.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- On Music?- Mm. - Please go to the Question Room.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Charles, on Music, would you like to go first or second?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Here we go.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31A string quartet conventionally consists of two violins,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33a viola and which other instrument?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I think it's very unlikely to be a guitar
0:11:40 > 0:11:43and likewise unlikely to be a piano,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45So, I will go with cello.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Yes, they're all string.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Cello's right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51OK, Judith. In the musical Funny Girl,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Fanny Brice sings the song Don't Rain On My...
0:11:55 > 0:11:56What?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Don't Rain On My Parade.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04That's right. And I never do, do I?
0:12:04 > 0:12:05You have a good go.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Charles, who was the keyboard player in and co-founder of,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14the American rock group The Doors?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I have to be honest and say
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I've never actually heard of Garth Hudson.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Billy Preston was associated with the Beatles
0:12:26 > 0:12:29and therefore the answer is Ray Manzarek.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Ray Manzarek is quite right. Well done.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I can tell you love your music.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Good stuff, we probably like the same stuff.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37OK, Judith, who composed the music
0:12:37 > 0:12:40for the anthem known as Jerusalem
0:12:40 > 0:12:43whose words are taken from a William Blake poem?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I think that is Hubert Parry.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It is Hubert Parry. You're playing well too.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56So, third question now.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Charles, get this right, and may be some pressure,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Judith might have one of her moments.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Who did the singer Edie Brickell marry in 1992?
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Charles, was this...?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13I think it's unlikely to be Paul Simon.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I have a feeling Pete Townsend's been married longer than that,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18so I'm going to go with Peter Gabriel.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Paul Simon is the answer.- Oh!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25OK, Judith, you've got a chance to take the round now.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30"If it seems a little time is needed, decisions to be made"...
0:13:31 > 0:13:34..are the first lines from which 1980s hit single
0:13:34 > 0:13:36by the Human League?
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Well, it sounds...
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Decisions and action go together.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm going to say...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I think the logic sounds like Love Action.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- Steve knows this. Steve? - (Keep Feeling) Fascination.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- (Keep Feeling) Fascination.- Oh.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Two each after three. Charles, a little bit of a let-off there.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Yeah.- We go to Sudden Death, it gets a bit harder.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- I don't give you options.- OK.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Born in 1944 in Liverpool,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08the musician with the stage name Mike McGear
0:14:08 > 0:14:12is the brother of which singer and songwriter?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Pretty sure he was in The Scaffold at some point
0:14:16 > 0:14:18and I think he's related to Paul McCartney.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Paul McCartney's right.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Judith, to stay in.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26The female singer described by Martin Luther King
0:14:26 > 0:14:30as the Queen of American folk music
0:14:30 > 0:14:32was Odetta who?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Absolutely no idea.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36That's completely passed me by.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I don't know.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Odetta...Smith.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It's Odetta Holmes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44So, you're knocked out, Judith, on Music.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Well done, Charles.- Thank you.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Nice to have a bit of Ray Manzarek there, getting you through.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Absolutely.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Very classy. So, come on back to us, both of you.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57We'll play the last round before the final.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59As it stands, Magnetos have lost a brain from the final round.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01The Eggheads have now lost two brains.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04So, you're just starting to motor,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06with your vintage engines.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09The next subject for you is Film And TV.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12See if you can press the advantage here.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I think there's a logical choice on this one.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- It's going to have to be you, Alan. I'm afraid you going to have to do this.- Yeah.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18It's tough, but I'll give it a go.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20OK. You're the man, Alan.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23OK. Alan against which Egghead?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- I'd be inclined to go with Pat, personally.- OK.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26- We'll go with Pat.- Yeah.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29OK. So it's going to be Alan from the Magnetos versus Pat from the
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Eggheads and if you go to the Question Room for the last time,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34we'll find out what happens.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Alan, Film And TV, would you like to go first or second?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45And here we go.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47The phrase "Flobbadob" is mostly associated
0:15:47 > 0:15:50with which children's TV characters?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Erm...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I can't remember Zippy and Bungle saying that.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I've luckily never seen the Teletubbies...
0:16:05 > 0:16:08..so I'm going to say Bill and Ben.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Is he right, Pat? - He is, I think, yes.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Flobbadob. Yes, Bill and Ben.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Just to see if we can raise the tone a bit here.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Pat, the 1960 movie The Magnificent Seven
0:16:20 > 0:16:23is an example of which genre of film?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31The only reason I'm hesitating is
0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'm just making clear in my head that the original...
0:16:33 > 0:16:36The Japanese film on which it was based
0:16:36 > 0:16:38wasn't called The Magnificent Seven,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41so it's a classic Western.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Western is right.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Back to you, Alan.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47In which of these films did Daniel Craig play a character
0:16:47 > 0:16:49named Connor Rooney?
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Erm...
0:16:58 > 0:17:01He's not in Road To Perdition as far as I can remember.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I don't know Munich, but Daniel Craig is in Layer Cake,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08so, I'm going to say Layer Cake.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Now, he may be in Layer Cake,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13but he's not Connor Rooney in Layer Cake.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16He's Connor Rooney in Road To Perdition.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18So, that is the answer.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Gives Pat a chance here.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Which series won the 2015 Golden Globe award
0:17:24 > 0:17:27for Best TV Musical or Comedy Series
0:17:27 > 0:17:30and centres on the life of the Pfefferman family?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39So, it's musical or comedy TV series.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41The Pfefferman family.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Empire's all about
0:17:43 > 0:17:48a music dynasty and the power battles between the family
0:17:48 > 0:17:49or families that drive it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52I don't know very much about Outlander.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Transparent's Jeremy Tambor and his family.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00He transitions from being a man to a woman and all the...
0:18:00 > 0:18:01All the consequences.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I'm in trouble here.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'm going to go for Transparent.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08You're not in trouble at all.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Transparent is right. Transparent.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Back to you, Alan.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15He's taken the lead.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16You need this one.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Who directed the 2000 film Castaway?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I could have told you who was in it,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30which doesn't help.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33It's going to be a complete guess.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Chris Columbus.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40It's Robert Zemeckis, Alan, sorry.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43No way back. Pat has knocked you out.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46So, we're going to be very evenly matched in this final.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Come back to us and we'll play it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56It is time for our final round which as always is General Knowledge.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-head won't be allowed
0:18:59 > 0:19:00to take part in this round.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02So, that's Susie and Alan from The Magnetos,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04but also Beth and Judith from The Eggheads.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Well, Chris, Charles And Geoff,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13you are playing to win the Magnetos £4,000.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Steve, Pat and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:19:16 > 0:19:19the Eggheads' reputation and to keep this roll going.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25You are allowed to confirm.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29So, Magnetos, the question is are your three brains better
0:19:29 > 0:19:31than the Eggheads' three? Simple as that.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34We'll go first, please.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40OK, Chris and team, good luck.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45In which year was the Pac Man computer game first released
0:19:45 > 0:19:46onto the market?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- I think it's too late for 1994. - Very much so, yes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's either '80 or '87.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Certainly in the '80s.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- I can't seem it being as late as '87.- No.- I think it's 1980.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- I think I'll go for 1980. - I think I would go for 1980.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07We're all happy with 1980?
0:20:07 > 0:20:08- Yeah.- Yes.- OK.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Our answer is 1980.
0:20:11 > 0:20:121980 is quite right.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16OK, Eggheads.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Between 1991 and 2006,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Luis Figo played football for which national team?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- He's Portuguese?- Portuguese, played in Spain, but he is Portuguese.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Yeah. OK?- Yeah.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Yeah, he tended to play his club football in Spain,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38but he was actually Portuguese.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40So, Portugal.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Portugal is correct.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Back to you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Which historical English county's coat of arms
0:20:47 > 0:20:51consists of three curved Saxon knives or short swords?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Well...- I don't think... I don't think it's Kent.- It's not Kent.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01That's just a white horse, isn't it?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05It's the horse. I don't think it's Surrey, either,
0:21:05 > 0:21:06because I used to come from Surrey.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I think I've seen it on...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11..Essex Cricket Club...
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Yes, I think I've seen it...- My first thought.- ..on their shirts.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Let's think this through.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Yeah.- It's definitely not Kent. - I'm sure Kent is the white horse
0:21:18 > 0:21:20and Surrey used to be an acorn.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- I'm happy with Essex. - OK, we're happy with Essex?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Yes.- Yeah. - OK, Essex is our answer, Jeremy.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Well done, Essex is right.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Could be an easy one to make a mistake on.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32So, you've got two. Eggheads,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35what did the Foreign Ministry of the Czech Republic announce
0:21:35 > 0:21:39would be the country's new short-form name in 2016?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Czechia? I think...- I think, yeah, it rings a bell.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I think they went for Czechia.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- I don't know.- Yeah. If you two are happy, then fine.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53I think it's Czechia.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55We think that's Czechia.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59They obviously found their old name a bit too long for convenience.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Czechia's right.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04All right, third question. Can be crucial.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05In 1956,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09where did an official referendum take place that resulted
0:22:09 > 0:22:13in a majority for full integration with the United Kingdom,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17including its own MPs at Westminster?
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Is it...?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I suspect it's not Mauritius.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I wouldn't... The British protectorate...
0:22:25 > 0:22:28That would be my last choice, Mauritius.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Malta eventually decided not to...
0:22:31 > 0:22:32..have its own MPs.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Yeah, but Malta's always had quite a close relationship...
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- Yes.- ..with Britain.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41But they did take... They did decide in the end not to go for...
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Was it under Mintoff's regime that there was problems?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Cyprus - there's a long history with Cyprus, isn't there?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I don't think it's Cyprus.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- I mean, '56.- '56.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Was this before the...
0:22:59 > 0:23:02..trouble with the Greeks and the Turks?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05That's long before. That didn't happen until about 1975.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- '74.- '74.- The Turkish invasion was
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- I think '74...- Yes.- ..into Cyprus. Northern Cyprus.- Yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I can't believe Cyprus.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16We had a reasonable relationship with Cyprus then
0:23:16 > 0:23:20because we had the army and air bases there.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'm inclined to think it's Malta, but I can be swayed either way,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25to be honest.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I think I could go down on the side of Malta as well.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Yes.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32OK, we all happy with Malta?
0:23:32 > 0:23:33We're lukewarm, I don't know...
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- I don't know if we're happy.- I think we're going to decide on Malta.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Yeah.- Right.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42OK, Jeremy, our answer is Malta.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Malta is your answer.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Malta is right. Nice play.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50That's a hard old question.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53All right, Eggheads,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56a number of challenging teams recently have got three out of three
0:23:56 > 0:23:58in the final round and it makes things harder for you, I know.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00So, get this wrong and it's over.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02You know that. Here's your question.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07What scientific term describes the segments of DNA
0:24:07 > 0:24:09which occur at the ends of chromosomes?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16- Telomeres.- Telomeres.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Telomeres?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19There's a theory that
0:24:19 > 0:24:24with each reproduction, they shorten and shorten,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26so it's tied in with age and decrepitude.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- OK?- Yeah.- Happy with that?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30We think that's Telomeres.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Telomeres is your answer.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I should check this with Beth. You will know, Beth.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Yeah, Telomeres, They're implicated in ageing,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40so if you have a long telomere, you're more likely to live longer,
0:24:40 > 0:24:41so the research says.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Right. And we should say Tee-lomeres, should we?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- Telomeres, yeah.- Telomeres is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Well done. So, three out of three for both teams.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- They never make it easy, do they? - I don't believe this!
0:24:51 > 0:24:54You were close to the £4,000, you just needed them to go the other way.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56They didn't do that,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59so, we go to Sudden Death and I don't give you options.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04Which historic royal palace by the Thames did Cardinal Wolsey
0:25:04 > 0:25:10lose to Henry VIII when he fell from favour in the 1520s?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Well, there was a number of palaces, then. There was Whitehall...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18There was Lambeth.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Whitehall's gone, Hampton Court.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20I think it was Hampton Court.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- I think it's Hampton Court. - I think it's Hampton Court.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24I know Cardinal Wolsey was...
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Yes, yes. I think he built that and you can see it's just a sort of
0:25:28 > 0:25:30expression of a huge ego, can't you?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32And that is a guy with a big ego.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35As soon as the question was asked, I just thought Hampton Court.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Yeah, yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Are you all right with that?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Fingers crossed.- Fingers crossed. - Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Jeremy, our answer is Hampton Court Palace.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Hampton Court Palace is your answer.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46It's correct.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49We go back to the Eggheads.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52In 1998, Eggheads, Gerhard Schroder
0:25:52 > 0:25:56succeeded which politician as Chancellor of Germany?
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Kohl. Was it Kohl?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00He's there for the reunification in '89.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Does he...? Does he hang on for another nine years?
0:26:04 > 0:26:05I think so.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Kohl, Schroder, Merkel.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Is that the sequence?- Yeah.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Yeah, because Merkel took over in 2005.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18So, Schroder was there for about seven years.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I don't think I've forgotten anybody.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- I think it's Kohl.- Yeah.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23No, there's nobody else.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26OK. We'll go with Helmut Kohl.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Helmut Kohl.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Helmut Kohl is right.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Back with you, Sudden Death.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34"A fool, a fool,
0:26:34 > 0:26:39"I met a fool in the forest," is a line from which Shakespeare play?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Well...- It seems to me like a Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Puck in a Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Yes. Unless that's just too obvious.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48That was my first reaction.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49- Mm.- It jumps out at you.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51It jumps out, doesn't it?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- I think I favour Midsummer Night's...- Yes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Shall we go with Midsummer Night's Dream?- Yeah.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Again, we're not certain, but we're going with Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Certainly the obvious answer.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Is it right, Eggheads?- I'm not sure.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- I think it might be As You Like It. - As You Like It, yeah.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Or even King Lear. - Yeah, could be King Lear.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I think As You Like It, but I'm maybe...
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Character is Jaques.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14- That make sense?- Yeah.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Who is it, then?- As You Like It.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- As You Like It.- As You Like It.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20As You Like It is the play.
