0:00:04 > 0:00:05These people are amongst
0:00:05 > 0:00:07the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:34- with our new Egghead Beth on the end here.- Hello!
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- How is it for you at the moment, Beth?- It's all right.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I've lost Steve now, so I'm all on my own being the newbie.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- Yes, you are. That's right. The newbie on her own.- Yeah.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I'm sure well looked after by the rest of the team.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:45 > 0:00:46are Box Clever.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Now, this friends and family team
0:00:48 > 0:00:51share a love of boxing, and quiz together every Thursday
0:00:51 > 0:00:54at The Red Lion in Southend-On-Sea. Let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Mick. I'm a systems manager for a scaffolding company.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Gary. I'm a fire protection officer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Lee, and I'm a mail room supervisor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Dan. I'm a civil servant.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Carl, and I'm a plasterer.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- So, Mick and team, welcome. - Hello, Jeremy.- Great to see you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16And, well, so much to ask you about. The boxing, first of all.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- Still boxing now? - No, none of us, obviously.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- We're all too old for it now. - HE LAUGHS
0:01:21 > 0:01:24But, goodness, that is a sport, isn't it? That's testing.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28It is the sport of all sports. It's the greatest sport, yeah.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29So, tell me about The Red Lion.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Does it get lively in there when you quiz?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Yeah, it gets very lively in there. Yeah.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36All right, from Southend,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39a great team and playing for our jackpot.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43However, if you fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Box Clever, the Eggheads have won the last couple of games,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50so there's £3,000 to win today.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Do you want to give it a go? ALL:- Yeah.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Quizzing, boxing, whatever. It doesn't matter.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Just take them on and win.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02so who would like this?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- That's you, Dan. - Who do you want me to take on?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- What you think? - Dan, against which Egghead?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Any one of the five. Obviously, don't know too much about Beth yet.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12I'll leave it to you, Mick. You decide.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Let's try Beth, the new one.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16We don't know anything about Beth yet, so...
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- OK.- Got a great brain.- Yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20We'll see how good she is on her Film & TV.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24So, Dan from Box Clever versus our newest Egghead, Beth.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28would you please both go to the Question Room now.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Now, Beth, I've got a memory that you chose Film & TV
0:02:32 > 0:02:34when you came through Make Me An Egghead.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Am I right about that? - Yeah, I picked Film & TV, yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Sorry, Dan. I should've mentioned that. I forgot.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43LAUGHTER I honestly completely forgot!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, no.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49But of course, it ranges so widely, doesn't it, Beth?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Yeah, it does. I mean, the whole gamut.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55It could be any type of film from any genre from any year.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Same with TV. - Film & TV, Dan. Good luck.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I'm going to put myself out of my misery, so I'll go first.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07OK, here we go. Good luck.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12In 2016, Dan, which member of One Direction joined the cast
0:03:12 > 0:03:15of the Christopher Nolan film Dunkirk?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Oh, I'm not sure.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26One Direction.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Didn't Louis Tomlinson leave before the others, maybe?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I think...maybe it was Harry Styles.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- I'm going to go Harry Styles. - Beth, do you know this?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I'm pretty sure it is Harry Styles.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43There were some current pictures around of him
0:03:43 > 0:03:46having all of his lovely curly locks having been cut off,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- so that's probably for a film role. - Yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Harry Styles is right.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Well done, Dan. Good start.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54OK, Beth...
0:03:54 > 0:03:59in May, 2016, what did Jeremy Clarkson reveal on Twitter
0:03:59 > 0:04:02was the name of his new motoring programme
0:04:02 > 0:04:04with James May and Richard Hammond?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Ooh, now, I was a very big fan of Top Gear.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Used to watch it every week.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Also, you know, fan of the new series as well.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Now, I think that they're doing rather large pieces
0:04:23 > 0:04:25for their new show.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I think they've called it The Grand Tour.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Yes, The Grand Tour is quite right.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32So, it's one each. Dan, back to you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35According to figures released by Nielsen,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37what was the most-watched comedy programme
0:04:37 > 0:04:40on American television in 2015?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I like all of those, but...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I think Two And A Half Men is very, very popular, isn't it?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- I'm going to go Two And A Half Men. - Two And A Half Men.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Any Eggheads know?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58I'd have gone The Big Bang Theory.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I think it would be close against Modern Family,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05but I think The Big Bang Theory has had very substantial ratings.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Dave is right. It's Big Bang Theory.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Beth, your question to take the lead.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Who co-starred as a cop named Marcus Burnett
0:05:13 > 0:05:16opposite Will Smith in the Bad Boys series of films?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Well, Danny Glover is a bit too old to have played this role,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27but the answer is Martin Lawrence.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Martin Lawrence is right.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Oh, she's playing well, Dan, on this.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Your question to stay in.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38Which 2003 film became the first since Ben-Hur
0:05:38 > 0:05:43to win Oscars for both best actor and best supporting actor?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I'm not sure.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I know Million Dollar Baby, that definitely won an Oscar.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Not sure if it won two, though.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Crash was up for a lot of Oscars.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It's a guess, but I'm going to go for Crash.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Which do you think, guys?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Million Dollar Baby, would've gone for.- Million Dollar Baby, yeah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Well, it's not either of those. It's Mystic River, actually.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Right, right.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Sorry, Dan.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I'm afraid there's no way back in this round.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Beth will be in the final. You've been knocked out.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Please return to us. Join your teams. We'll play on.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23OK, so, Box Clever have lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25If this was a boxing match, Mick, we'd be...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Round one...- One round down.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29..but coming back out fighting in round two for sure.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Oh, definitely.- Absolutely.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33So, the Eggheads are still all there,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35and the next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37So, Mick, who would like this?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Got to be me, hasn't it? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Yeah, I'll take this one.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44OK, would you like to choose an Egghead? Can't be Beth.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Lisa, I think.- OK. - Yeah, go with Lisa.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Good stuff. All right.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Mick from Box Clever versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Please go to the Question Room now.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56So, you're on Arts & Books against our own Lisa,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58and would you like to go first or second, Mick?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I'll go first, please.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05And here is your first question. Good luck, Mick.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08In the Arabian Nights folktale,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11how many thieves does Ali Baba discover
0:07:11 > 0:07:13visiting their treasure store?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Uh, yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22That's definitely 40, Jeremy. 40 thieves.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23That's right. Ali Baba and the 40 thieves.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Well done.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Lisa, which rock star's
0:07:27 > 0:07:322016 autobiography is called Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Well, if it isn't Dave Stewart,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39it's the worst-named autobiography ever,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41so I'll have to go with Dave Stewart.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43If Annie Lennox had been in there,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- it might have given you some trouble, mightn't it?- A little bit.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Dave Stewart is right.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Your question, Mick.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51The Peter Shaffer play Equus
0:07:51 > 0:07:54tells the story of a young man's dangerous obsession
0:07:54 > 0:07:56with which animals?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Hmm. I've not heard this one.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I'm going to have to say a guess here,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07and I'm going to guess with horses.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I'm so glad you did, cos Equus - equine, all that...
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Oh, of course. Yes.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- I could see you just missed that clue in the question.- I did, yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Horses is right. Well done. Brilliant.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Well done, Mick.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Lisa, the 2015
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Olivier awards for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor
0:08:23 > 0:08:28in a musical went to performers from which jukebox musical?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40OK, so, you'd sort of tend to look away from The Bodyguard,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43cos you'd think there'd be the one big strong male role there
0:08:43 > 0:08:46in the front and maybe there wouldn't be another one.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49So, Sunny Afternoon is the Kinks jukebox musical,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52and Our House presumably the Madness jukebox musical.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53I have a feeling...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Of the two, I'd be inclined to go with Sunny Afternoon,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58cos I think it's had very good reviews,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01but beyond that, I'm struggling a little bit.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03So, let's try Sunny Afternoon.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- It is Sunny Afternoon.- Woohoo!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08So, two each, and we go back to you, Mick.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Which comedian is the author of a series of children's books
0:09:12 > 0:09:16called The Bolds, B-O-L-D-S?
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Right, the one author that stands out of those three names
0:09:24 > 0:09:26is David Walliams.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Julian Clary, no. Jack Whitehall, no.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36No, I'm going to go for my initial, David Walliams.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Well, you're right that he writes children's books,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- but he doesn't do this, actually. - Ah.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42- This is Julian Clary.- Ah.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44So, maybe not quite as...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I think David Walliams' ones have been selling like hotcakes.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Lisa, is Julian Clary's...? Are they well-known?
0:09:51 > 0:09:52I'm struggling,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54cos I don't remember those being on my radar at all,
0:09:54 > 0:09:55to be honest.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57If you think about it just with the names,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59the natural choice is Walliams. I'd have ruled him out
0:09:59 > 0:10:02cos I didn't think he'd written a series, but that was about it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Anyone name any of the Walliams books here, Eggs?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Boy In The Dress. Mr Stink. Gangsta Granny.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So, your question will give you the round
0:10:11 > 0:10:12if you get it right, Lisa Thiel.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Which Scottish actor co-founded a theatre company
0:10:16 > 0:10:20called Raindog in the early 1990s?
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Oh! I'm going to kick myself so hard if this goes wrong.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Oh, no. Cos I know this. I know this.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I suspect if it were Mr Capaldi,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37he would've founded it a little earlier.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42Mr McGregor, possibly a little younger.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45By then, I mean, yeah, of the three,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Capaldi and Carlyle are more your theatre actors.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Robert Carlyle has fairly successfully, I think,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55spread his career over film, theatre and television.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I'm sort of inclined to say Robert Carlyle.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Let me just have one more think about that.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Don't want to add to the pressure, but if you get this right,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05it's your 100th victory in a head-to-head.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07No, you don't want to add to the pressure in any way,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10do you, Jeremy? No.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Raindog, Raindog, Raindog, Raindog.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15No, if you'd asked me that and there weren't any options
0:11:15 > 0:11:18in front of me, I probably would've gone for Robert Carlyle,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20so let's try Robert Carlyle.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- You've won 100 head-to-heads, Lisa. - Woohoo!- Well done.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24It is Robert Carlyle.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26A little bit of Eggheads history for you there, Mick,
0:11:26 > 0:11:27happening right beside you.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I know it's not the way you wanted it to pan out.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Robert Carlyle is the answer.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Mick, you've been knocked out.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Please rejoin your teams and we'll play another round.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41As it stands, Box Clever have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43The referee has not stepped in yet, though.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- No, not yet. - The towel has not been thrown.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48The Eggheads are all still there. You can change this, guys. Fight on.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- I think you're going to like this. It's Sport now.- Ooh.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53This is a good subject, I reckon.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- I'll take it.- Yeah. Well, we all know who that is.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Should I take it?- Yeah. That's Gary.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00OK, Gary. Against which Egghead?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Chris.- Oh, Chris.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04The towel is thrown in. I'm going home.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06LAUGHTER
0:12:06 > 0:12:11It's Gary from Box Clever on Sport against Chris from the Eggheads.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Please go to our Question Room now.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18So, Gary, we're doing Sport. Do you follow a team?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Yeah, I'm a Chelsea fan.- OK.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- I know what that feels like. - You do.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- And a bit of Shoebury Town as well. - Yeah, Shoebury Town.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I've been with Shoebury Town for 40 years as a player,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30chairman, manager, treasurer. Everything, I've done.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34And, Chris, I guess this is not your ideal round, really, is it?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Not really, no.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38This is a man who once thought Mo Farah was a woman called Maureen.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41LAUGHTER
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Gary, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50All right, we'll see if Maureen Farah comes up.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Here's your first question, Gary.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55The Sir Bobby Charlton Stand was unveiled
0:12:55 > 0:12:57at which football ground in 2016?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Well, Goodison Park is Everton, Anfield is Liverpool.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07And he played for Man United, so it's got to be Old Trafford,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09unless I heard the question wrong.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Bobby Charlton I'm sure you said, so Old Trafford.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Old Trafford is right. Well done. Spot on.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16You would've got that, Chris, wouldn't you?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- I would've got that, yeah.- Yeah.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Chris, what was the approximate distance
0:13:20 > 0:13:23of the 2015 Tour de France in miles?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Well, now, you'd have to circumnavigate France
0:13:32 > 0:13:36a few times for it to be 21,000, and 210,000 is ridiculous,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38so it's 2,100.
0:13:38 > 0:13:412,100 is right.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43OK, back to you, Gary.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Which female tennis player won her first Grant Slam
0:13:46 > 0:13:48when she defeated Serena Williams
0:13:48 > 0:13:51in the final of the French Open in 2016?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Well, I know Angelique Kerber beat Williams in a final.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I'm not sure if that was the French one,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05but I know she beat her in a final
0:14:05 > 0:14:07so I'm going to go for the middle one, Kerber.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Kerber is your answer.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Who's our tennis person here?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I think Lisa is our go-to tennis person.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13You see, Dave and I had a bet
0:14:13 > 0:14:15on the Kerber-Williams final,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18and Dave said, "Kerber will thrash her." I said, "No way."
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Actually, that was the Australian Open final. It's Garbine Muguruza.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Yeah, you're right about the final, but it's not the right one.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25That's the trouble here, Gary.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- The French Open was Garbine Muguruza.- Right.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31So, Chris has a chance to take the lead on Sport.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32There's a whole series of
0:14:32 > 0:14:34extraordinary things happening in this game.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Chris, in June of 2016,
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Harzand was the winner in which of the five Classic horse races?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Oy. Harzand.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Not the Derby winner, or else I would've heard of it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I'll take a punt on 1,000 Guineas.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55OK, 1,000 Guineas is your answer. Gary, do you know this one?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Derby. I had my money in it. - Yeah. Oh, there we go.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Derby is the answer, Chris.- Mm-hm.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02So, you're equal.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04OK, Gary, press the advantage. He is a bit wobbly on Sport.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09In 2012, who became the first cricketer to score a six
0:15:09 > 0:15:12off the first ball of a test match?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Sorry, could you repeat the year, please?- Yeah, in 2012...- 2012.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22..who became the first cricketer to score a six
0:15:22 > 0:15:24off the first ball of a test match?
0:15:26 > 0:15:31Well, I'm looking at them, and the only opener is Chris Gayle.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Kevin Pieterson came in three or four.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Ricky Ponting was three or four.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39And if it was the first ball, I've got to go for Chris Gayle.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Chris Gayle is right.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Lovely job.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Nice play, Gary.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48So, Chris, your question to stay in the round
0:15:48 > 0:15:49and in the competition.
0:15:49 > 0:15:55King Constantine II of Greece, who reigned from 1964 to 1973,
0:15:55 > 0:16:00won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in which event?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Ah, if I remember rightly, he was a keen yachtsman,
0:16:07 > 0:16:08so it would be sailing.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- No uncertainty at all.- No.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Sailing is quite right.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15You're equal after three questions. Gary, we go to Sudden Death.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Gets a bit harder. I don't give you different options.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Here's your question.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24In 2016, which athlete broke David Moorcroft's
0:16:24 > 0:16:2934-year-old British record for the 3,000m?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Mo Farah.- Yeah. HE LAUGHS
0:16:31 > 0:16:35How does that happen, eh? How does that happen?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I think you just...
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- You helped us a little bit unwittingly there, Chris.- Mm-hm.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Conjuring with a name before a round, always dangerous.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47All right, so, Sudden Death, Chris.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Held twice in the 1990s,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54the Formula One Pacific Grand Prix took place in which country?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Hmm. Formula One Pacific.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00South Korea.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02If you've got this wrong, the round is over.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Do you know this, Gary? - No, I don't, actually.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Let's see. Who knows here? Anyone, Eggs?- I suspect it's Japan.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Yeah, I was going with Japan, yeah.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Yeah, they're edging towards Japan. Japan was the right answer, Chris.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15You've lost there. Well done, Gary.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19So, things are turning, maybe, for our Challengers.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Gary took on an Egghead and emerged triumphant
0:17:22 > 0:17:23and will be in the final.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Please come back.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27We'll play the last round before the final.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29So, good victory for Gary there.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Box Clever have lost a couple of brains,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33but the Eggheads have lost a brain too now.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35The next subject is Geography,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37so last one before the final.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Carl or Lee?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- It's got to be me, then. - Yeah. OK, Carl.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44And, Carl, against which Egghead?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- You can have either Pat or Dave. - I'm going to go for Dave, I think.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Carl from Box Clever on Geography versus
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Please go to our Question Room now.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Carl, I reckon your motorbike might help you in this round.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yeah, it might help me get on my bike.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03HE LAUGHS No, but you've been all around
0:18:03 > 0:18:04the world on it, haven't you?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Well, not quite all round the world, but, yeah,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10probably most of Europe, Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13So, Geography, Carl. Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I think I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20And here is your first question.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24What is the largest country on the Iberian Peninsula?
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Well, Andorra is really quite small, a principality.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Portugal, that's got quite a long coastline,
0:18:37 > 0:18:42but actually for size overall, I would say Spain.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Spain is quite right.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Well done.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Well done, Carl.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Dave, your question.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50The Falkland Current
0:18:50 > 0:18:53flows along the east coast of which continent?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I've got to go South America...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01because it's where the Falklands are.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03OK. Understood your logic. Completely right.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Well done. South America.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08That would be a beastly question if that was not the answer.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Carl, in which country of the United Kingdom is Reelig Glen,
0:19:12 > 0:19:17home to a number of record-breaking tall Douglas firs?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Sorry, could I have that again, Jeremy?
0:19:23 > 0:19:30Yeah. Reelig Glen is R-E-E-L-I-G, and then G-L-E-N, OK?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Yeah.- In which country of the United Kingdom is Reelig Glen,
0:19:34 > 0:19:40home to a number of record-breaking tall Douglas firs?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Right. Well, I don't think it's Wales.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49There's a lot of firs, trees in Scotland,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52but I think there is in Northern Ireland.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57But I'm erring towards Scotland, so that's my answer. Scotland.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Scotland is right. Well done. Reelig Glen.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Two out of two.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Rev that motorbike.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Dave, the Three Kings Islands off the north coast of New Zealand
0:20:09 > 0:20:11were given their name because they were discovered
0:20:11 > 0:20:13on the eve of which day?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Well, I've got to go...
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Cos "We Three Kings from Orient" are taking gifts to Baby Jesus.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I've got to go Epiphany.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Epiphany is correct.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Well done, Dave.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Two each. Carl, this third question can sometimes be decisive.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Here it is.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40What is the capital of the Canadian province of Manitoba?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Well, this will be a total guess.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I've heard of Regina and I've heard of Winnipeg.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Manitoba, somehow it rings a bell with Winnipeg for me,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58so, yeah, Winnipeg.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59I'm going to go for Winnipeg.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01OK, Winnipeg is your answer.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Let's just see whether your team-mates know this one.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- What do you think?- Would have said that as well. Not sure...
0:21:06 > 0:21:07- That's what we were... - Mick was nodding.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- Yeah, they like it. Winnipeg is correct.- Yes.- Well done, Carl.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15OK, that's good, Carl. Well done.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Dave, your question.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21In June 2016, which Northern European country
0:21:21 > 0:21:26became the first in the world to commit to zero deforestation?
0:21:29 > 0:21:35It could conceivably be any of them, but I've got a yearning for Norway.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I'm going to have to go Norway.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Norway is the right answer. Well done.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Ah! So, Sudden Death again.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45You're playing well, Carl.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Just keep them coming, the right answers.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Gets a bit harder now. I don't give you different options. Here we go.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55The Chihuahuan Desert straddles the border of the United States
0:21:55 > 0:21:58and which other country?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Well, I'm pretty sure it's Mexico.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Mexico is correct.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Dave, to stay in, often regarded
0:22:08 > 0:22:13as the world's most northerly and most polluted city,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Norilsk is in which country?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Sorry, can you spell it for me, please?- N-O-R-I-L-S-K.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Most northerly and polluted?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Can you just repeat the question, please? Sorry.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Often regarded as the world's most northerly
0:22:29 > 0:22:34and most polluted city, Norilsk is in which country?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Not happy with this one at all.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Most northerly.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Cos most northerly, it would go to Iceland, surely, but...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Yeah, I've got to go Iceland
0:22:46 > 0:22:49simply on the fact of the northerly business,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51but I've never heard of this at all.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53OK, Iceland is your answer.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Carl, do you know this?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57The northerly bit, like Dave, has thrown me.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I had a feeling that it was Poland.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I wondered if you might've gone to it on your motorbike
0:23:03 > 0:23:05when you were riding around Russia,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- cos Russia is the answer, Dave. - Well, right. Mm.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Sudden Death,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Dave is knocked out.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Carl is in the final.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Please come back, join your teams. You'll play the final round.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18And this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20It is time for the all-important final round.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21As always, it's General Knowledge,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:24 > 0:23:27are not allowed to take part in this round,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29so that is Mick and Dan from Box Clever,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32but also Chris and Dave from the Eggheads.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:35 > 0:23:36So, Gary, Lee and Carl,
0:23:36 > 0:23:40you are playing to win Box Clever £3,000.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42You've done really well getting them down to three as well.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Lisa, Pat and Beth,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46you're playing for something that money can't really buy,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49which is to shore up the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54You are allowed to confer.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56So, Box Clever, the question is,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59can your three brains pummel these three over here?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01And would you like to go first or second?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I think we'll go first.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09OK, Lee and team, good luck to you. You've done really well.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12In 19th century slang,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15what sort of establishment was known as a grog shop?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Well, we know that one, lads, don't we?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- I think we know that one.- A bar? - Got to be, hasn't it?- Are you 100%?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Yeah. Well, it's Australian, isn't it? Grog, booze, isn't it?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- So...- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33We believe it's bar.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35It is, absolutely. Yeah. Well done. Bar is correct.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Eggheads, in the 1960s,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Northern Songs was the name of a music company
0:24:42 > 0:24:45formed to publish songs by members of which group?
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Northern Songs
0:24:50 > 0:24:51was Lennon and McCartney, wasn't it?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- I will take your word for it. - I will take your word for it.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- Could not be sure myself.- No.- I think it's Lennon and McCartney. OK.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Prepared to go with your think. - We think that's the Beatles.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04It is, of course, the Beatles. Yeah, well done.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07OK, back to you, Challengers.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13What is the title of the second part of Dante's La Divina Comedia?
0:25:16 > 0:25:21I've heard of Dante's Inferno, but I've also heard of Paradiso.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- But I'm erring to Inferno.- Inferno. - That's what I think. Inferno.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Inferno sounds good to me. Yeah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32We're not sure, Jeremy, but we're going to go for Inferno.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Purgatorio is the second one.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Right.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37So, Eggheads, to take the lead,
0:25:37 > 0:25:38according to legend,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41the mark on the side of a John Dory fish
0:25:41 > 0:25:44is the thumbprint of which saint?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- They call it a St Peter's fish, don't they, a John Dory?- OK.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I don't know... He was supposed to have held it or something.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- I don't know why.- I only... - He was a fisherman, of course.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57..only knew any culinary context,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59my friend, I'm afraid.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00- I would've thought St Peter.- Yeah.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I don't think it's Patrick or Jude.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'm fairly sure they call it...
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I think in every other language they call it something that sounds
0:26:06 > 0:26:09like John Dory, but they do also call it St Peter's fish,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- so...I would go with that. - OK. We'll go with that.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13We're going to go with St Peter.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- What do you think, guys? Do you know this one?- He's right.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18He's right. Yeah. St Peter it is.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20So, they have taken the lead here.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Box Clever, you need to get this question right.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26The so-called Prison Experiment,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28led by the psychologist Philip Zimbardo,
0:26:28 > 0:26:32took place at which American university in the early '70s?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Any idea?- Not having a lot of luck here, are we?- No.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- I heard of some prison...- Biggest one there is Harvard.- It is, but...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44We said before, if we didn't know,
0:26:44 > 0:26:45we'd go with the biggest one, didn't we?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Is that Harvard?- Is it the biggest one, though?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- They always say go down the left. - Yale is bigger than Harvard.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Yale is big as well, isn't it?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- That's the thing.- So, we're cutting out Stanford, yeah?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58They always say go down the left.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- But we don't know it.- No.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Well, I'm erring for it, but I don't know.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04What did you think?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I've got a feeling it's Yale, but it could be Harvard.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07I don't know. I really don't know.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Go on, then.- Do you want to?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11We really don't know, Jeremy, but we're going to go
0:27:11 > 0:27:14with the old Egghead thing where we go down the left.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- HE LAUGHS - We're going to go for Yale.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18OK, OK.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20If you've got this right, you're still in.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Otherwise, the contest is over.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23You've said Yale.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- The answer is Stanford.- Ah!
0:27:26 > 0:27:29We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Well, there we are.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Thank you for playing. - Thank you.- Brilliant team.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41And to get to this position, you know, anything can happen.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Yeah.- Yeah, yeah.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44And they've got the benefit of a new Egghead
0:27:44 > 0:27:46who's playing well, so, yeah.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Commiserations, Box Clever. - Thank you.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- Hope you've enjoyed your visit. - Been brilliant.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53The Eggheads had done what comes naturally to them,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56and they reign supreme still over quiz land.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59So, it means our Challengers don't go home with the £3,000.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We'll take the money... Why not? ..and roll it over to the next show.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Well done, Eggheads.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Beth bedding in here, looking very good.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Lost a couple on the way, but you won.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Let's see what happens next time,
0:28:10 > 0:28:14and whether anybody can actually take the Eggheads down.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Until we play again, goodbye.
