0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16arguably 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
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads. No "possibly" about it, is there?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- No.- Eggs?- Of course.- No... - Come on.- It's a dead cert.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- Are you feeling the force?- Yes.- Oh, yeah, I feel the force.- Excellent.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today are Over and Out.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Now, this team are all members of St Albans Cricket Club.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Andy, I'm the managing director of a PR company.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'm Nick and I'm a chemistry teacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Jonny and I'm a masters student in politics.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Andy, I'm a project and programme manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I'm Toby and I'm a data analyst.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06So, Andy, team, welcome. Great to see you.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Hello.- Hi.- It's the cricket club that brings you together, Andy, is it?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It is, yeah. We all play cricket together.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14There's something about a dropped catch in there, is that right?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Yeah, I'm unfortunately the back-to-back recipient
0:01:17 > 0:01:20of the Dropped Catch Of The Year award for St Albans Cricket Club.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22So they work out which was the one
0:01:22 > 0:01:23that you maybe should've collected?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27There wasn't much choice. I was a clear winner.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30How is it then, the cricket? Is it very competitive,
0:01:30 > 0:01:31or just leisurely, or what?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34It's pretty competitive. We run five teams on a Saturday
0:01:34 > 0:01:35and two teams on a Sunday.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38We play league cricket, we play friendly cricket,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40so... We've got a big youth section.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43We really cover most bases when it comes to the cricket.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And the two Andys have quizzed before here?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Yeah, we've done a little bit of pub quizzing before.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Right, OK. Good luck. Every day there is £1,000 worth
0:01:51 > 0:01:53of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01So, Over and Out, I can tell you that the Eggheads are,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I think we can call it a roll now, officially.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06They are on a roll, they've won six on the trot.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09That's good news for you in the sense that it means that £7,000
0:02:09 > 0:02:10is on the table today.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Bad news in that they're in good form, but let's not worry
0:02:13 > 0:02:15about that. You can take them down, I'm sure.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Are you ready to try? - We're ready, definitely.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20OK, first head-to-head battle is on Arts & Books,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24and you can choose from Judith, Dave, Kevin, Barry and Lisa.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Arts & Books...- I would suggest you go for Barry and you go for it.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- OK.- Yeah.- Shall we do that?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Yeah.- Are you happy with that? I think we're going to go for Barry.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33And I'm going to...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- OK.- ..do it.- OK, the team captain, Andy goes in.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Arts & Books the subject.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40And it's Barry "The Brain" who'll be in the Question Room as well.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Please, gentlemen, go there now.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Andy, I gather you had a really interesting musical job?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Well, I run a PR company now in the music industry,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51but for many years I worked in the record industry.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I worked throughout the '90s at Creation Records,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57home of Oasis and Primal Scream and various other people.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Great, so you saw Oasis come up in the incredible way that they did?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I did, I fought the Britpop wars.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04THEY LAUGH
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Yeah well, that was...
0:03:05 > 0:03:08There's been nothing like that probably since the...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I was going to say the Beatles, but maybe T Rex and all that would've
0:03:11 > 0:03:15been similar, but it's unusual to have that level of hysteria, isn't it?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Yeah, it was quite a remarkable time, I think.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I think they worked out at one point that one in 12 people in the country
0:03:20 > 0:03:23bought (What's The Story) Morning Glory, their second album.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25It was an astonishing time.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27All right, good luck in this round, Andy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Arts & Books, and your choice, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I'll go first.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36So here's your question, Andy. Good luck.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Which of these novels is set during World War I?
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Mm. Well, it's not Catch-22, cos that's in the Second World War.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Er, The Quiet American, I don't know.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I do know that the answer is Birdsong,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58which is set in the First World War.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Birdsong is correct, yeah.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Got a point. Over to Barry. How are you, Barry?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Well, thank you. - You're an Oasis fan?- Yes, yes...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I didn't buy that album though,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13but I probably listened to every track on it many times.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Yeah, it's good. Which Shakespeare character was the Prince of Tyre?
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Barry, was it...?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Well, Othello was from Cyprus and Cymbeline was an English,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27a British King. So it was Pericles, Prince of Tyre.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Pericles is right.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31One each. Back to you, Andy.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Who is the central character of the EM Forster book, A Room with a View?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I have to say, I don't know.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I mean, I'm aware of the book, I haven't read it. Erm...
0:04:49 > 0:04:53It's going to be a complete guess.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'm going to say...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58er, Lucy Honeychurch.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59BARRY LAUGHS
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Is he right, Barry? - He's absolutely right.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05That's right. Lucy Honeychurch is the right answer, Andy. Well done.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Going well, two out of two for our Challenger.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Barry, how many lines are there in each verse
0:05:10 > 0:05:13of the Rudyard Kipling poem, If?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Ooh!
0:05:17 > 0:05:18It's not two.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22It must be eight.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Eight is correct.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28THEY LAUGH
0:05:28 > 0:05:30The sort of one you can come undone on, isn't it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Easily.- Yeah.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Andy, to increase the pressure on our Egghead,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38and let's see if that shell gives way.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Who painted Nu Couche, or Reclining Nude,
0:05:42 > 0:05:46which was sold for 170 million in 2015?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57The only one I've heard of is Modigliani.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Erm...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I don't know the other two.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I'm going to say Modigliani.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Wouldn't he be amazed if he knew his work had gone for that amount
0:06:08 > 0:06:11of money? I always think. Modigliani is the right answer, well done.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Amedeo Modigliani, Three out of three.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15OK, they've started very well.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Let's see if Barry can stay in there.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Your question,
0:06:18 > 0:06:23which Steven Karam play set in a New York apartment
0:06:23 > 0:06:26won the 2016 Tony Award for Best Play?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Barry, was it...?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I missed this. I really don't know on this one at all.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I'm sorry to say I haven't heard of any of those plays,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41so it's going to be an absolute guess.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'll go for The Father.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47The Father. Let's see, Challengers, do you know?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- No.- The Humans is the only thing that...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Yeah, Andy's got it on this side.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- The Humans is the answer, Barry.- Oh!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Well done, Andy. That's good. Good stroke for your team.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59That's not a dropped catch at all there, is it?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- I'm thrilled.- You're going to be in the final round,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03you've knocked out Barry "The Brain".
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Please come back to us and we'll see what the next round holds.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11We had an interesting passing reference to Othello in that round,
0:07:11 > 0:07:12and, Barry, you said he was from Cyprus?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Yes, and I might have got that wrong.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17The play is set in Cyprus, but the subtitle of the play is
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Othello Moor Of Venice, so he might well be Venetian.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Yes, that's right. So there's The Moor Of Venice
0:07:21 > 0:07:25and it's set in Cyprus, so there's all kinds of different things going on there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28As it stands, Over and Out have not lost a brain. Done really well here.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30The Eggheads have lost Barry.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32And the next subject for you is Science.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Who would like this? - I think that's you.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Me? Yeah, sure.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- That's going to be me, Jeremy. - OK, Andy.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Against which Egghead? And it can't be Barry.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42- Judith?- Um, Judith, please.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44OK, very good. You like your science.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Quite. If it's birds and bees, it's OK.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Yeah, botany rather than the periodic table.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Oh, the periodic table, yes. My nemesis, that is.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, Andy from Over and Out
0:07:56 > 0:07:58is playing Judith on Science from the Eggheads.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Please now go to our legendary Question Room.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Well, Judith, it is very wide, Science, isn't it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Huge, yes. And it's stars and...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09You go from the birds and the bees to stars.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Yeah.- Exactly.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13All right. Well, there we are, Andy.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Would you like to go first or second on Science?
0:08:15 > 0:08:16First, please, Jeremy.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21And here we go.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Which of these animals often live for more than 50 years in the wild?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Erm...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I don't think it's a lion.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Erm, I would...
0:08:38 > 0:08:41..probably rule out giraffe as well. I would guess the African element...
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Elephant!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- JEREMY LAUGHS - Erm, yes.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47OK, African elephant is right, well done.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Let's see, Judith.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55In geometry, an acute angle is any angle of less than how many degrees?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Is it...?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Er, that's 90.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- You sure?- Er, fairly sure.
0:09:02 > 0:09:0490's right.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06So back to you, Andy.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Which of these is a bone in the human ear?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I know that the patella is in the knee.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I'm not too sure about the other two.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I've heard of scaphoid, so I'll go scaphoid.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Eggheads, help us here, patella, where is that?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Knee.- Kneecap. - As Andy said.- Knee, and scaphoid?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- I think it's in the wrist. - The wrist.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Think so.- Malleus is the answer, Andy, sorry.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- OK.- So a chance for Judith now to take the lead.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46The megatherium, which grew to a length of around six metres,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49is an extinct member of which animal family?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Judith, is it...?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Megatherium?- The megatherium.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Well, I mean... I'm thinking it must be a long,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04thin thing if it grew to a length of something.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Erm, so I think I'd go for alligator.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Which is a long, thin creature.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Barry is looking as if he is in...
0:10:13 > 0:10:16has got a problem with indigestion or something.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Barry, what's happening? - Megatherium is a giant sloth.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- It's a giant sloth? - Yes, it's quite...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Although it was six metres long, it was a very squat animal.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's low and quite heavily built.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I see. It's low and heavily built, Judith, but it is a sloth.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35All right, Andy, get this right, maybe Judith will start to tremble.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38In which US state did the Wright brothers
0:10:38 > 0:10:43achieve their first successful powered aeroplane flight in 1903?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50No, I don't know this one.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I'm going to go for North Carolina.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54North Carolina is correct.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Well done. OK, Judith, you need to get this one right.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00William C Campbell, Satoshi Omura
0:11:00 > 0:11:04and Youyou Tu were awarded which Nobel prize in 2015?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I really don't know.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I think, erm, as there are three of them...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18..a team effort,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21er, maybe it's physiology or medicine.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I'm not even going to ask about the logic. You've got it right.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Mm.- It's physiology or medicine, well done.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29So, level after three questions, Andy.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It is hard to throw them off, isn't it?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- It is.- We go to Sudden Death, it gets a bit harder,
0:11:33 > 0:11:34I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Here's your question.
0:11:36 > 0:11:43How many horns did the triceratops dinosaur have on its face?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46I'm going to just have to go with the clue in the word,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48so I'll go for three.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51The name translates to three-horned face, so three is correct.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Judith, you need this to stay in.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57In particle physics,
0:11:57 > 0:12:03the abbreviation LHC stands for large hadron what?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- LHC?- Yes.- A collider.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Collider's right.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Level.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Back to you, Andy.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Astronauts from how many of NASA's 17 Apollo missions
0:12:15 > 0:12:17walked on the moon?
0:12:19 > 0:12:20I wish I could name them all.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22That is a tough question.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Complete guess, out of 17...
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I would guess six.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Dave, is he right?- Yeah. - Six is right.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31LAUGHTER
0:12:33 > 0:12:34OK, Judith,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38if you get this wrong, you will be...toast.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43What nationality was Hans Gram, creator of the Gram stain,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47a widely used microbiological staining technique that aids
0:12:47 > 0:12:52in the identification and characterisation of bacteria?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Hans Gram.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I think he...
0:12:56 > 0:13:00might have emigrated to Australia. I mean, America.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02So he's going to be American.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I...
0:13:04 > 0:13:05- No.- He didn't?- No, he didn't.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Where did he go? - I don't know how to tell you this.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Just straight out, come out...
0:13:10 > 0:13:13The answer is Danish and you've been knocked out, Judith. I'm sorry.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Andy, well done. Sudden Death, you've beaten an Egghead,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and that's two Eggheads down.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Let's see what happens next. Please return to your teams.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27OK, game on. Over and Out have not lost any brains so far.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29The Eggheads are two down, they've lost two,
0:13:29 > 0:13:31they've lost Barry and Judith.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34What's going to happen next? Well, we have Film & TV.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36So who loves their film?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39You want to go for this? And then, do we go nuclear?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Who's going to do it? - Tobes will do it...
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- You can do it.- You happy with that? - And then...
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Go big. - I'd be tempted to go big.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- OK.- Yeah.- Go big?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Go Kevin.- Go big.- I think we're going to go Kevin.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Ah, OK. So, Toby, yeah?- That's me.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Yes.- OK. Toby from Over and Out is taking on Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59as they say, going big.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01So please go to the Question Room now.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06OK, Toby, good luck to you, Film & TV against the great Kevin.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08I'll go first, please.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Here we go. According to Forbes,
0:14:14 > 0:14:19who was the world's highest-paid actress between June 2015
0:14:19 > 0:14:23and June 2016, with pre-tax earnings of 46 million?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'm going to rule Anna Kendrick out.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36I'm going to go for Jennifer Lawrence.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Yes, she tops a lot of the lists.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Jennifer Lawrence is the right answer. Well done.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42OK, Kevin.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45The internet sensation Carpool Karaoke,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49in which pop stars sing along to their songs while being driven
0:14:49 > 0:14:53round LA was created by which chat show host?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Well, I haven't actually seen this, but I've...
0:15:01 > 0:15:02I have come across it.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07And I've got an idea that it's actually James Corden.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I think he, having now made his career as a chat show host
0:15:11 > 0:15:15in the States, I think he does this.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18James Corden is right. Yes, he's done very well stateside.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19OK.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Level.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Toby, for which organisation does Jodie Foster's character work
0:15:24 > 0:15:26in the film The Silence Of The Lambs?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Now, The Silence Of The Lambs would've been released
0:15:33 > 0:15:37probably when I was still under the age of ten.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41I have since seen it, but I can't for the life of me remember...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45..what Jodie Foster's character did.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Um, I'm going to go for...
0:15:49 > 0:15:50..the CIA.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53CIA. Team-mates?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- We don't think so.- FBI. - I think it's FBI.- FBI...
0:15:56 > 0:15:59It's FBI is the answer.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04OK, so let's see whether our own Hannibal Lecter can come back here.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Where is the TV drama series Red Rock set?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14That's not ringing any bells at all.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17If you haven't heard of it, there's nothing to go on.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I'll say Ireland. I simply have no idea.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21I don't know what it is.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Ireland is the right answer.- Oh...
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Third question, Toby. You need to get this one right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Andy Kane, best known by his nickname Handy Andy,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33gained fame on which TV show?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Was Handy Andy on...?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Now, that is a..
0:16:42 > 0:16:44question that I should know the answer to.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I'm going to go for DIY SOS,
0:16:50 > 0:16:51because...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55..Andy, the handyman, is hopefully good at DIY.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Changing Rooms is the answer, Toby. So sorry.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02So, Kevin, you're in the final round.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Maybe the Eggheads are coming back now.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Come back to us, return to your teams
0:17:05 > 0:17:08and we will play one more round before that final.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14As it stands, Over and Out have lost a brain now from the final round,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Toby's gone. The Eggheads are still two down,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20so it's still looking rather interestingly poised.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And the last subject before the final is Sport.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- I'll have that, please.- Jonny, OK.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I know you're sports mad.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Who do you want to take on? You can have Dave or Lisa.- Not Dave.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Lisa, please.- OK, very good.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Jonny from Over and Out,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36and let's see if it's over and out for Lisa
0:17:36 > 0:17:40from the Eggheads on Sport. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Jonny, Sport versus the great Lisa,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44would you like to go first or second?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51OK, here is your first question.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56Jonny, in gymnastics, how high is the balance beam above the floor?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04So, I think the balance beam, I actually...
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I actually don't even know that. The balance beam I think is the one,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12the one pole as such.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Erm, I'm trying to think about how they mount onto it,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17but it's not coming to me.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Er, I will guess at 2.25.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I'm just trying to visualise, is this the one that's almost
0:18:26 > 0:18:29solar plexus height? Or chest height?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Well, it's the one that the women do.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32So, erm, you know,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34you've got these diddy little gymnasts
0:18:34 > 0:18:36who are sort of four foot six and they can jump onto it.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Some of them will use a springboard, but mostly they
0:18:38 > 0:18:41will mount without, so I think it must be 1.25.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Yeah. 1.25, Jonny.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45OK.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Lisa, which of these football teams played in the 2016-17
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Premier League?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57LISA LAUGHS
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I knew it was going to be that end of the table.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Right, that's Bournemouth.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02They're all quite tempting, aren't they?
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Bournemouth is right.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06So she's ahead, Jonny.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Catch up now.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Which of these countries
0:19:09 > 0:19:12won its first ever Olympic gold medal in 2016?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I hadn't heard of St Lucia or Madagascar
0:19:19 > 0:19:21winning a gold this time around
0:19:21 > 0:19:24and I think with the rugby sevens
0:19:24 > 0:19:26being the first time in the Olympics,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28it will be Fiji.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30That's right, and I remember the pictures of them celebrating
0:19:30 > 0:19:33cos they were so excited. Fiji's right, well done.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36OK, Lisa, your question now.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Chance to take the lead.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Helen Glover, born in 1986, is a famous name in which sport?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Mrs Steve Backshall she goes by these days, I think.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52But with Heather Stanning she's a very successful rower.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- It's rowing.- Rowing is correct.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57So she's ahead,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00and, Jonny, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03In cricket, the shortest completed Test match in history
0:20:03 > 0:20:08at Melbourne in 1932 lasted for how many balls?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I'm just trying to divide that by six.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So 256 seems ridiculously short.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Er...
0:20:22 > 0:20:27656 is 100 and a bit overs, and then 1,056, obviously...
0:20:28 > 0:20:30You get near to doubling that. Erm...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I will go down the middle again with 656.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37You're right. Well done.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39You've got two out of three.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41656 is the right answer,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44and that would be an easy one to go wrong on.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46OK, Lisa, you still have the initiative here.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48If you get this right, you're in the final.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Which capital city hosted its first Formula One Grand Prix in 2016?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I'm fairly sure, but let me just check.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03I don't think there is a Grand Prix in Croatia.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07And when they run the Russian Grand Prix they run it out at Sochi.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14But, yeah, I think they built a really quite scary street circuit
0:21:14 > 0:21:17in Baku, I think that's right.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Yeah, Baku.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Baku is the right answer, Lisa. Well done.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24So after three questions you have beaten Jonny,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26who now goes out the game.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29And that means we're poised very equally for our final.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Please come back to us and we'll play it.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34This is what we have been playing towards,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36it is time for the final round.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37As always it's General Knowledge,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:40 > 0:21:42won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44So, Jonny and Toby from Over and Out,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47and also Barry and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:51 > 0:21:57OK, Andy S, Andy K, Nick, you're playing to win Over and Out £7,000.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Good jackpot today.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Lisa, Kevin and Dave, you're playing for the Eggheads' pride.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04You're playing for the shirt
0:22:04 > 0:22:06and you're playing to make sure this roll continues.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12You are allowed to confer.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15OK, so, Over And Out the question is,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18are your three brains better than these three over here?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20And can you do this without dropping a catch?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22THEY LAUGH Do you want to go first or second?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24We'll go first, please.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So, General Knowledge. Good luck, guys.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Until 1968, Namibia was known by what name?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42First thing that sprang to mind was South West Africa.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Yeah, because it's quite near South Africa, I think, isn't it?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Namibia?- I mean, it was a section of South Africa.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- OK.- For some reason, the first thing that sprang to mind was South West.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Isn't Namibia that side of...?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I think it's South Africa and then Namibia's quite nearby.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Is it down and left?- I think so.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Maybe it is. I mean, I bow to you, I don't know.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- We're not overly sure. - I can't picture it.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- We are guessing a little bit, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06- Go for it? South West? - I'd go South West.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09OK, without a great deal of confidence,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11South West Africa.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Absolutely right. OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19Which underground line on the London Tube map is silver-grey?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Is it...?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Jubilee.- It's Jubilee. - Used to live on it. Jubilee.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- District is green, isn't it? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Then Central's red. - Central's red, yeah.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Yeah, so the Jubilee line, yeah? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34We're happy with the Jubilee line, please, Jeremy.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Jubilee is quite right.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38One each. Back to our Challengers.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Who became the Secretary of State
0:23:41 > 0:23:45for Exiting the European Union in July 2016?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I think it's David Davis.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Not Liam Fox.- Not Michael Fallon.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Yeah, sounds familiar, now you've mentioned it.- Yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Er, bowing to Andy S, go for David Davis, please.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03David Davis is right.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Two out of two. Well done.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Eggheads a little bit on the back foot here as we play
0:24:07 > 0:24:08for £7,000.
0:24:08 > 0:24:15In Norse mythology, how many legs did Odin's horse Sleipnir have?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- It's eight.- OK?
0:24:19 > 0:24:20- Fine with that.- Eight. Eight legs.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Yeah? So you're happy with that, Lisa?- Yeah.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24- Eight legs?- I'm pretty sure.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Yeah? Er, bowing to Kevin,
0:24:27 > 0:24:31eight legs, please, Jeremy.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Always a good idea to bow to Kevin.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Eight is correct. DAVE LAUGHS
0:24:35 > 0:24:362-2.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Can't tell how this is going to go, but just get this one right
0:24:39 > 0:24:42and it may be a case of sitting back
0:24:42 > 0:24:45and watching the batting collapse on the other side.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46GENTLE LAUGHTER
0:24:46 > 0:24:52Work was a worldwide hit for which singer in 2016?
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Is this...?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Looking at... - We're looking at you, Andy!
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Work...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Modern music, no idea.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Ooh...
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I think it's Katy Perry or Rihanna.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10A worldwide hit? Who's big worldwide?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- They all are. - All of them.- They all are.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Big enough to have a worldwide hit.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Katy Perry's been quite busy, recently, hasn't she?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Yeah.- 2016. I think Katy Perry.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- OK.- I think it's Katy Perry. - You sure?- Yeah, go for it.
0:25:22 > 0:25:28OK, again, not overly confident, but we think it may be Katy Perry.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Katy Perry is your answer.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Now, I was at the Brits, strangely,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36in a seat so far up towards the ceiling my nose was bleeding,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38and the artist came out and sang,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40"Work, work, work, work, work, work."
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Just says the word "work", doesn't it?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45And I did momentarily pay attention, and it was not Katy Perry.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- It was Rihanna.- Ah...
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It was Rihanna.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51So, Eggheads,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54your chance to take the contest with this.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Florence Nightingale featured
0:25:56 > 0:26:02on which Bank of England banknote between 1975 and 1994?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Was she on the fiver, tenner or 20?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06It was the fiver.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- I thought it was 20? Oh, God.- No, it's not 20.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- It's not 20.- 20 was the, erm...
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Right, let's just go... 20 was Shakespeare.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Yeah.- I think a tenner was the Duke of Wellington.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19And I think a fiver was Florence Nightingale.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- You...- £50...- You think Wellington was on the tenner?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I thought he was on the fiver.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- DAVE LAUGHS - Right, OK.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- Let's have a think about this. - How soon we forget, don't we?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Right, so...- I thought Elizabeth Fry was on the fiver.- Huh?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Was that later?- She was, yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Oh, man!
0:26:39 > 0:26:41It's definitely not the 20.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- 20 is Shakespeare. - Yeah, definitely not the 20.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's either the five or the ten.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- And I can... - I can see Wellington on it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Well, yeah, I'm pretty sure he was on the five.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54But, of course, there have been different people on the five
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- at different times.- And the tenner changed, didn't it?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Yeah. I can't associate her with the fiver.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01But the tenner changed, didn't it?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Yeah.- Which is what might be confusing me,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05because remember the shape of the tenner?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Yeah, and Darwin went on to the tenner.- Yeah.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I'm inclined to go with you.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- OK?- If you can't... I think we're struggling to make
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- a case for the... - I'm inclined to go with the ten,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18now I think about it, Wellington was there like that...
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I'm certain it's not the 20...
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Yeah, we've ruled that out. And then Wellington was on the...
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- fiver.- Five.- Five there. And then Nightingale.- Yeah.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Shall we go ten?- I think ten,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32but it may be wrong. It may be wrong.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- We'll give it a shot. - We've had one of our moments there!
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Or probably I have.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Erm...
0:27:38 > 0:27:43But on balance, we're going to go for £10 note, please, Jeremy.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50You did start with five and you shifted.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Barry was getting very...
0:27:51 > 0:27:53You were getting very excited back there, Barry.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Yes, I think it's a five.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Oh, really?- You think it's a five? - Hmm.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59It's lucky you're not in the final round, Barry,
0:27:59 > 0:28:00cos the answer is £10.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03You've got it right. We say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- you have won.- Played, Kevin. - APPLAUSE
0:28:08 > 0:28:10And they were all set to go five
0:28:10 > 0:28:13and then there was just a little, "Hang on, everyone!"
0:28:13 > 0:28:16From Kevin, so... Which does happen, he just pulled it back.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Well done, Kevin.- Well done, Kevin. - Well done, Eggheads. Commiserations.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- Hope you enjoyed that. - We had a great time.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Thank you.- They're good. They've done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Increasingly so, this winning streak gets more and more impressive.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It does mean you're not going home with the £7,000,
0:28:30 > 0:28:33so we will take that money and roll it over to our next show.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers can do it.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41£8,000 says they can't.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Till we quiz again, goodbye.
