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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against
0:00:27 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Here they are - the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Chester Romans.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, this team are all members of one of the UK's oldest
0:00:39 > 0:00:42American football teams. Let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Lex, and I'm an engineer surveyor.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Pete. I'm a customer assistant.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Mark, and I'm a film student.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Billy, and I'm a care manager.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm John, and I'm an oil tank cleaner.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- So, Lex and team, welcome. Great to see you.- Hello!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Oh, I love the... That's good!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Is that kind of an on-pitch wave thing?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04No, it's just something we've cooked up for professional events.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Brilliant, I loved it!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08So, tell us, American football is THE thing, is it?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10It's one of the fastest-growing sports currently in the UK
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and it's something we really love getting stuck into.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14And you are the defensive line,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17so does that mean they play five at the back in these teams?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20No, we're actually at the front of the defensive team.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23It's our job to make up the gaps within the lines,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25to allow the linebackers in to make the tackles.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And what is it about American football that is so exciting?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Compared to the British thing where you don't wear a helmet
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- and you kick a ball. - You get tackled, no-one cries.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38To be honest, a lot of us have played both rugby as well as soccer,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40as well as American football.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43We've sampled the best of all worlds, really.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Don't be fooled by the helmets,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47it is incredibly painful when you get hit.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Sure. Now, I know the team has existed for 30 years.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53You haven't quizzed before together. Is that right?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Not together. We have quizzed individually but this is the
0:01:55 > 0:01:57first time we've all quizzed together.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59All right, well, I hope you form a good defensive line against
0:01:59 > 0:02:01this lot here - the Eggheads.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Good luck. Every day, there is £1,000
0:02:03 > 0:02:05worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09we roll that prize money over to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So, Chester Romans, the Eggheads are playing well.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14They've now won five games on the trot,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18so there is £6,000 here for you to win if you beat them.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Would you like to try? - Yes!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Good. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26So, you can have either Judith
0:02:26 > 0:02:28or Steve, Kevin, Dave,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30or Lisa to play against.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Lex! You're up!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34So, Lex against...?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I think I'll go with Dave.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Very good. Straight to it.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Lex, from Chester Romans. Dave, crash helmet on?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- I'd better have it on there. - I think you do,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- and the shoulder pads as well. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49It's all right, he is defensive and you're highly offensive,
0:02:49 > 0:02:50it'll be fine.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Dave and I are such '80s kids, we normally wear shoulder pads anyway,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55to be honest. To ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Dave, what do we make of politics at the moment, in the world?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08It's very interesting times, but quite uncertain ones.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13I suppose if you're looking at 2016, having Trump and then Brexit
0:03:13 > 0:03:16before it, that's an incredible sequence.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19They will be quizzing on that in 100 years' time.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Yeah. I think we've spoken about it at quizzes there,
0:03:22 > 0:03:26that, if in doubt, we're going to say 2016, going forward.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30In a few years' time, if we've forgotten a few events,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32"When did that happen?" 2016 would be a good bet,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34because everything seems to have packed in.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Anyway, Lex,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38good luck on Politics against so-called Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:40 > 0:03:41I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Here we go. With reference to government-held data,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52for what does the letter I stand in FOI?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I think that's information.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Yeah. Freedom of information. Well done. One to you.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07OK, Dave. Which party won the greatest number of seats in
0:04:07 > 0:04:10the 2016 election for the Welsh Assembly?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- I think that's Labour. - Interesting, isn't it?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19The situation where they get knocked for six in Scotland,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21but Wales is still very much Labour terrain.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Yes.- Well done.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Next, which Prime Minister was the MP for Huyton
0:04:26 > 0:04:31in the North-West of England between 1950 and 1983?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I'm not entirely certain with this one.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41My instincts when it came up was James Callaghan,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43so I'd like to go with James Callaghan, please.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45OK, Prime Minister in the late '70s.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Let's just check with the Eggheads.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Harold Wilson.- Wilson.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Wilson is the answer, I'm afraid, Lex,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53so Dave has the edge.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Which of these countries has been a member of the European Union
0:04:58 > 0:04:59since 2004?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Right, let me have a think.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I'm trying to think of when...
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It's a toss-up between Serbia and Slovenia.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13It's not Switzerland - that's never been a member of the EU.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I think Serbia is later.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19So, no, I'm going to go with Slovenia, please.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Slovenia is quite right, Dave, well done.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Back to you, Lex.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27What term is used for sittings of the House of Commons in the
0:05:27 > 0:05:30grand committee room at the Houses of Parliament?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I think the only one I can think that I've heard of is
0:05:40 > 0:05:42the Central Lobby Meetings.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It's wrong, actually, it's Westminster Hall Debates.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It is, I suppose, a way of having additionally having some
0:05:48 > 0:05:51other things going on apart from what is happening in the chamber.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53So, sorry, no way back for you. Dave has won that first round.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Early days, guys.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Challengers, don't be alarmed,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00but your first competitor has been taken out by an Egghead,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02and won't be able to be in the final round.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Lex and Dave, please return to your teams.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10OK, so our Chester Romans have lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13American football equivalent of that is you've let through a try?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Yeah, a touchdown.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17The offensive line have broken us apart there
0:06:17 > 0:06:19and gone straight through to the end.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Right, but you know better than anyone that it's not over.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- We bend, don't break. - Exactly.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Exactly! Eggheads have lost no-one so far.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28The next subject is Film & TV.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Who would like this?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31- You're up.- Mark. - Yep.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33So, Mark, OK, film student - that's really handy.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36And which Egghead? Obviously, it can't be Dave.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'll go for Judith, please.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Lovely. You haven't had a run out on this for a while?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Not for ages. - No, it's usually Sport.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46So, Mark from the Chester Romans versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53This seems like a perfect round for you, Mark,
0:06:53 > 0:06:54as you're a film student.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56You would hope so, yeah. We'll see.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59What kind of films do you love?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Anything. I would watch any film.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06TV - I'm hoping that nothing comes up about any soaps.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07But we'll have to see.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- And do you write scripts yourself? - I do.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12So you... These are film scripts?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Yeah, film scripts, short film scripts.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Scripts for TV, sometimes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20That sounds very creative, Judith, doesn't it?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- It does, yes. - We need to get started on that.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Well, it sounds rather alarming
0:07:24 > 0:07:26if you have to quiz against someone like that.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28OK, well, let's see. Film & TV.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Mark, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31First, please.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Here is your first question. The TV soap Emmerdale Farm
0:07:38 > 0:07:41was originally set in which fictional village?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I was hoping this wouldn't come up!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52I'm inclined to go with Weatherfield, please.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Let's see. Maybe Judith knows. Judith?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Isn't Weatherfield Coronation Street?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Ambridge is the Archers.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Yeah. - I would say Beckindale.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Yes, it is Beckindale.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05And Weatherfield is Coronation Street.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06OK, Judith, your question.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11In the episode Yuppie Love in the TV series Only Fools And Horses,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14which character famously falls through the open hatch of a bar?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It's... It's David Jason.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Now which one...?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It's not Trigger, and Rodney is the young one.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26It's Del Boy.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It is Del Boy, famous scene, like the chandelier scene.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I love it. I can see it in my mind, yeah.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Indelible. - It's terribly funny.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35OK. Mark, to catch up.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40The US legal drama The Good Wife is set in which city?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I thought Chicago, as soon as you mentioned the question,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51so I'm going to go straight for Chicago there.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Chicago is correct, well done. Very good.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57So, level, but Judith has the edge.
0:08:57 > 0:09:04Here we go. Which actor played Theseus in the 2011 film Immortals
0:09:04 > 0:09:08and Napoleon Solo in 2015's The Man From U.N.C.L.E?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Well, I don't think it's Henry Cavill,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18because he played something else.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I'm going to say... Go down my lucky right and say Christian Bale.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24OK, do you know this one at all, Mark?
0:09:24 > 0:09:25I do, it's Henry Cavill.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Henry Cavill.- The one I ruled out! - The one you ruled out.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30I thought he played something else.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32That is much more your territory, Mark, I know.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34So, you're level, how about that?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Level after two. Your third question.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Get this right, Mark, put a bit of pressure on Judith.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Which of these 1993 films was directed by Nora Ephron?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I was thinking that it could be The Piano.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Not 100% sure, but, yeah, I'm going to go for The Piano.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59No, it is Sleepless In Seattle. That's interesting,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I thought she wrote the script but didn't direct it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05OK, Sleepless In Seattle is the right answer.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08So, Judith has the advantage again.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Judith, get this right, you're in the final round.
0:10:11 > 0:10:18Which actress played Lillie Langtry in the 1978 TV drama series Lillie?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- What date did you say it was? - 1978.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Well, it's rather a long time ago.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33'78, '78...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm just trying to think of...
0:10:36 > 0:10:40I can see a portrait of Lily Langtry in my head. Who would I cast as her?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I think I might cast Greta Scacchi.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Her face is sort of Edwardian looking.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53OK. Good way of working it out - who has got the most Edwardian face?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Is there any reason, Eggheads, we couldn't choose Greta Scacchi?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Well, it's a little bit early for her.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Little bit early. Was she four or five years old?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Oh, not that early. No.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I mean, she broke through, really, in the early to mid '80s.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Yeah. It's Francesca Annis, Judith.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Oh.- Were you not watching TV in the late '70s?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Well, probably, but I can't remember that far.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14There wasn't that much on, I just remember it, so...
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Bad luck, in the sense that you got that wrong, but you're still in it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Again, a let-off there, Mark.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23She can suddenly turn, Judith, so be careful here.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Don't assume she's going to get them all wrong.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27We go to Sudden Death.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30It gets a bit harder - I don't give you alternative options.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Which sport featured in the most watched television moment
0:11:35 > 0:11:38of the 2016 Rio Olympics in the UK?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I would imagine it would be men's 100 metres.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45No, it's cycling.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46I would have imagined that.
0:11:46 > 0:11:5111 million watched Laura Trott and Jason Kenny win gold.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55It was actually just a shade behind the final,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57or the first of the new series, of Bake Off.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01OK, Judith, your chance to take the round.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Which royal character was played in television dramas by Keith Michell
0:12:06 > 0:12:10in 1970 and Damian Lewis in 2015?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Oh, that's Henry VIII.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13- You sure? - Yes, positive.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15So am I. Henry VIII is right.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Well done. On Sudden Death, Judith, you've triumphed,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19you're in the final round. Nicely done.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Mark, sorry, beaten by our Egghead there,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24and you won't be able to play in the final. Come back to us,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27both of you. We'll play the next round.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29So, as it stands,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32the Chester Romans have lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35All right, let's think about this - do we change the formation?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39No, I don't think we're panicking too much just yet.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41We had a stuttering start last season and we came back through
0:12:41 > 0:12:44and managed to battle our way through to the play-offs.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Is it one of those ones where someone just takes the ball
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- and throws it?- Hail Mary, yeah. - Oh, a Hail Mary!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- A good Hail Mary play. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:12:50 > 0:12:52The Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Music is your next subject.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Who wants this, from Chester Romans?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Music, John?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- John, yeah. - John, oil tank cleaner.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Against who? - Kevin, please.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05All right. Cleaning out the big oil tank now!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08John from the Chester Romans going against Kevin.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Is this the turning point of today's contest?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18So, is Music your choice of subject, John?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's not ideal, but I'm hoping to fare fairly well.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23OK. Any particular areas you love?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I have quite eclectic music tastes, really,
0:13:26 > 0:13:27so I'm hoping to do quite well.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30So, a bit of opera, bit of classical?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31A bit of everything, really, Jeremy.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34OK, brilliant, that's a really good situation for a quizzer,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36that's for sure. And I've never asked you, Kevin -
0:13:36 > 0:13:39what's your favourite music? Early Elvis? Verdi?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Oh, well, I'm more classical than popular, in that sense.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47But classical, folk, some bits of world.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Not really so much pop and rock.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52OK. Well, two eclectic musical people, I think.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54John, do you want to go first or second?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I'd like to go second, please.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00And your first question now, Kevin.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05The style of male voice singing known as barbershop is traditionally
0:14:05 > 0:14:06performed by how many people?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Yeah, normally, I mean, it can be done by larger groups -
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I've got a friend who actually takes part in a larger group -
0:14:16 > 0:14:19but he also does it as part of a quartet,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21that's the standard, so four.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Yes, barbershop quartet. Four is right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26John, back to you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30The instrument called a shawm is played by using
0:14:30 > 0:14:34which method? It's spelt S-H-A-W-M.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Purely off the spelling, I'm going to say plucking.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Plucking. What is this? What is this, Eggs?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46It's like an oboe, so it's for blowing.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Blowing is the answer. I'm sorry.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52So Kevin in the lead.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55And back to you. Which of these 19th-century musicians
0:14:55 > 0:14:59famously engendered screaming, cheering and swooning responses
0:14:59 > 0:15:02from his international female following?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10It's Franz Liszt.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14And I think that the term Lisztomania was even...
0:15:14 > 0:15:16It may even have been coined at the time.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Or certainly when Ken Russell made a film about it,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22he called the film Lisztomania.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27He was like a 20th-century or 21st-century pop star,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30the sort of fan adulation that he got.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Franz Liszt is the right answer. Lisztomania! Who knew?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37So, John, we've got to get you on the scoresheet now.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Kevin's two to your zero.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Which solo album by Annie Lennox featured the singles
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Walking On Broken Glass and Why?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I don't really know a great deal about Annie Lennox. Erm...
0:15:55 > 0:15:59I'm going to hazard a guess at Bare.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Challengers, do you know?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Diva. - Yeah, Diva is the answer.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I'm afraid, John, there's no way back in this round,
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Kevin has taken it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11You were beaten by our Egghead and you won't be in the final.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14If you both come back, we will play the last round
0:16:14 > 0:16:15before the crucial final.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's hard going for the Chester Romans, but they love their
0:16:20 > 0:16:22American football - they know all about hard going.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24They've lost three brains from the final round.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26The Eggheads, who are on a roll anyway,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29are sitting there with all their shells still intact.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32The last subject before the final is Arts & Books.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35So who...? I know this is what you wanted, John, actually, isn't it?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Yeah.- So who would like this, Arts & Books?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- I'll take that. - OK, so Pete against which Egghead?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43You can have either Steve or Lisa.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I'll take Lisa.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48OK, so Pete from the Chester Romans versus Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51on Arts & Books. For the last time, please go to our Question Room.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55So, what position do you play when you're on
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- the American football pitch, Pete? - I play defensive tackle.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Straight in the middle.- So you're going in and you're just basically
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- laying people out? - Yeah, I like to hurt people!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05JEREMY LAUGHS
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Well, that's honest! And all the kit, as we were saying earlier,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11it doesn't matter how much kit you've got, it's still painful.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Yeah, especially if you dislocate your kneecap like I did,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- that really did hurt.- I'm guessing you get quite a lot of injuries,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18because it is a real serious contact sport.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Yeah. I've dislocated my kneecap, a few other injuries.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Other players have done a lot worse, though.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27John especially - he hasn't got any knees left, I don't think.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- It could always be worse, though! - Lisa, do you fancy this?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I think my best position would probably be something like mascot.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Yeah, on the bleachers, I think they call it in the States, don't they?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Yeah. Basically as far away from the actual action
0:17:37 > 0:17:38as it's possible to be.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40It makes me want to watch it, though, Pete.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I think I could get into it, actually.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I think you'd enjoy it. You should come down and train with us one day.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Mm! Love to, yeah. I'd be in the same position as Lisa,
0:17:47 > 0:17:48which is kind of reverse halfback.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Horizontal. - Horizontal, yeah, exactly!
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Arts & Books, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Ladies first, please.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00All righty. Lisa, your question.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03What is the name of the bronze sculpture by Rodin
0:18:03 > 0:18:07of a seated man resting his chin on his fist?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I now have the Steve Miller Band playing in my head, inappropriately.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15It's The Thinker.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17The Thinker is right. Not the Joker.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Over to you, Pete. The family of the artist
0:18:23 > 0:18:27JMW Turner called him by which of his names?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I'm not sure. I am going to go with William.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Beautifully done! William is right.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Maybe this is the turning point for your team.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Lisa.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44The group of anonymous feminist female artists that adopted the name
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Guerrilla Girls formed in which city in 1985?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51That is guerrilla as opposed to gorilla.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Well, that's bad, I don't know.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59It sounds like an American movement,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03so I don't know if that's enough just to go straight for New York.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Do I know anything else about the Guerrilla Girls?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I don't think I've got anything really to go on here.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11That's bad. I'll say New York.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14You are right. New York it is.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17So, two points for Lisa now, and back to you, Pete.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21The artist Wolfgang Tillmans, born in 1968,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23has become famous in which field?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Once again, I have no clue. Erm...
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I'm going to go photography.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Eggheads? - Yeah.- Yeah, we like it!
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Photography is right! Your guesses are unerring.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42That's amazing. Fantastic, so, you're equal. Third question, Lisa.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Which Shakespeare play has the lines "Nay, if our wits run
0:19:46 > 0:19:50"the wild-goose chase, I am done, for thou hast more of the wild-goose
0:19:50 > 0:19:53"in one of thy wits than, I am sure, I have in my whole five"?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02You see, normally, I love Shakespeare questions. Erm...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I don't think it's Romeo And Juliet,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09being the one I'm most familiar with.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11My first thought was it would be something like As You Like It
0:20:11 > 0:20:13or Twelfth Night.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I can't think of it fitting in the other two.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19I know Hamlet and Romeo And Juliet slightly better than Twelfth Night,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22so I'll go with my first instinct and say Twelfth Night.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Yeah, I would have taken every single step that you took there,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28and I actually recently read Romeo And Juliet,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30and couldn't remember this line in it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- But it's there!- But it is there. It is Romeo And Juliet.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36So, two out of three for Lisa.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Your chance now. Here we go, Pete.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43In 2016, Martin Roth announced his decision to quit as director
0:20:43 > 0:20:46of which London arts institution,
0:20:46 > 0:20:51citing his disillusionment over the British vote to leave the EU?
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Hmmm. Unbelievably, once again, I don't know.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I'll go British Library.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Do you know this, Judith? - I think it's the V&A, isn't it?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Yes, it is, the V&A Museum.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11So you've both got two out of three.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Just slightly failed to book your place there in the final, Pete.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I hope it doesn't cost you. It goes to Sudden Death, gets a bit harder,
0:21:18 > 0:21:19I don't give you different choices.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Lisa, your question.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Pippi Longstocking was derived from a character that
0:21:24 > 0:21:28first appeared in books in which language?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Pippi Longstocking...
0:21:30 > 0:21:34So, yes, that's not her real name, is it, in the Astrid Lindgren books?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36She's called something slightly different.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39But I think the language we are looking for is Swedish.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Swedish is right. She is Pippi Langstrump...- That's the one.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46..in the Astrid Lindgren originals.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Pete, you've got to get this to stay in.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Which Italian city started an Art Biennale in 1895,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56that has developed into a major international exhibition?
0:21:56 > 0:22:03So Art Biennale is B-I-E-N-N-A-L-E.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Purely from the spelling, and that alone, I'm going to go with Bologna.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Now, I wondered whether Biennale means "biannual",
0:22:11 > 0:22:13meaning once every two years.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Eggheads, is that right?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Yeah.- Therefore it doesn't take us to Bologna.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It's Venice.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22So, on Sudden Death, Lisa edged it, I'm afraid,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24and you will be in the final round, Lisa.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Pete, you won't, and it is looking difficult for our Challengers,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28but it's definitely not impossible.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Please come back and we will play that final round.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It is time for our final round.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38As always, it's General Knowledge,
0:22:38 > 0:22:42but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:22:42 > 0:22:43to take part in this round.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48So that's Lex, Pete, Mark and John from the Chester Romans.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Well, here we are, Billy. - I know this wasn't the game plan!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56But you've got a chance, there's no question.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59In fact, a very good chance. We've seen people win from that position.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Hopefully. - In the last few weeks, even.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05You're playing to win the Chester Romans £6,000.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Lisa, Dave, Kevin, Steve, Judith -
0:23:08 > 0:23:11you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:23:11 > 0:23:12the Eggheads' name.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17This time, they are all General Knowledge.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18You can confer.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I'm sorry that doesn't help you, Billy.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23The question is - can your one brain defeat these five?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26And they'll have a lot to thank you for if it happens.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27- Definitely. - Good luck, Billy.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29All the best to you. Do you want to go first or second?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I'll kick this off. I'll go first, please.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37OK. Your first question, Billy, is this.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43For what does the letter P stand in the corporate abbreviation PLC?
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I'm quite confident the answer is public.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Public is quite right, well done. Public limited company.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56OK. Eggheads.
0:23:56 > 0:24:02Which of these UK measures is roughly equivalent to 1.14 litres?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- A quart is two pints, isn't it? - Yes.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09That's about right then, isn't it?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Yes, it is, yeah, because a pint is 568ml.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13A litre bottle is that big.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18A pint is 568, and a gallon is eight pints, so...
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Can we just have another read, please, Jeremy?- Yeah, go on.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26Which of these UK measures is roughly equivalent to 1.14 litres?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27I'm happy with a quart, yeah.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Yeah, definitely.- Consensus of opinion, Jeremy - it's a quart.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34The consensus is quite right, it is a quart.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35So, they've drawn level.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39That's a bit annoying, you just keep playing as you are, Billy,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41and hopefully you will see them off.
0:24:41 > 0:24:48The Celtic goddesses Rhiannon and Epona were both associated with
0:24:48 > 0:24:50which of these creatures?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I don't think it's snakes.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I can't imagine it being snakes.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00I'll go for horses, please.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Let's see with the Eggheads. Is horses right?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Yeah.- Horses is the right answer, Billy, nicely done.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Two out of two. Sure-footed,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11shoulder-padded.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Eggheads, your question.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Which French expression refers to privileged, wealthy young people,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and dates back to the time of the French Revolution?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- Jeunesse doree. - The gilded youth.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34I'm reliably informed it translates as gilded youth,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36and that is jeunesse doree, Jeremy.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Jeunesse doree is the right answer.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42So, toe-to-toe. Tight round. Equal.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Over to you, Billy. In the Coronation ceremony, the Coronation
0:25:46 > 0:25:50ring is traditionally placed on which finger of the sovereign?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I can imagine it being on the right hand.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I'm going to go for the middle finger, right hand.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Go straight down the middle.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Hope for the best.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Crucial moment, this. Eggheads?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- I think that's right. - Middle finger, right hand.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19No, it's the fourth finger.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Fourth finger, right hand, Billy.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23So, if the Eggheads get this right,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26they will have taken this round and the contest.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28All five of them sitting here.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32A lot of brainpower, but sometimes sparks fly, and they melt.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Which range of mountains lies mainly in Tajikistan and has traditionally
0:26:37 > 0:26:39been known as the Roof of the World?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Pamirs. - All agreed, yeah?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- It's got to be.- I'll just go with whatever you say, gents.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53It's got to be, because the others aren't round there.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Nowhere near.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Western Ghats are India, aren't they?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01No, Tatras is part of the Carpathians.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06After a bit of discussion, Jeremy,
0:27:06 > 0:27:07we're pretty confident that's Pamirs.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11The range of mountains that lies mainly in Tajikistan,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14the Roof of the World,
0:27:14 > 0:27:15is the Pamirs.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Oh, Billy, I'm sorry.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29It was so... You guys seemed like you might have got that wrong.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- Yeah. - I mean, I favoured what Billy said.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I knew it wouldn't be the left hand, but...
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- just got the wrong finger. - Yeah, it's visualising it, isn't it?
0:27:38 > 0:27:39- Yeah, yeah. - Commiserations.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41I hope you've had a good game.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Eggheads, all five of you, my goodness.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59You're looking almost bulletproof now,
0:27:59 > 0:28:03and I'm wondering if you can ever be beaten.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Just trying to make it happen!
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have any chance
