0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:32Here they are - the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are:
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, team captain Paddy has hand-picked a team
0:00:39 > 0:00:43of the quizziest people he knows in a bid to beat the Eggheads.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm Paddy and I'm a retired commodity broker.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Christopher, I'm a retired journalist.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm James, I'm an insurance broker.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Edward, I'm a charity worker.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Josh and I'm a senior structured finance analyst.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So, Paddy, team, welcome.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Good to see you. So, Paddy,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06you've basically got a super-team from your friends here.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I have, they're all totally hand-picked,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and we're ready and raring to go.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- And if there's a fox in the hen house, it's going to be you.- Yes.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Cos you were shot as a child by somebody who thought you were a fox.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Yes, unfortunately, I was.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23It felt like a whole series of snowballs all being thrown at me
0:01:23 > 0:01:25at the same time with great force.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27You weren't dressed as a fox, were you?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- I had brown corduroys on. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Well, foxes wear brown corduroys quite a lot,
0:01:33 > 0:01:34so maybe that explains it!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Well, nothing like that will happen here today.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I can promise you, you're perfectly safe.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Except that they will be aiming at you with their quiz brilliance,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44so I wish you well in taking them down.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Look forward to it.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47OK. Good luck, Paddy and team.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:50 > 0:01:51for our Challengers,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, you'll know
0:01:53 > 0:01:55the prize money rolls over.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Challengers, I can tell you the Eggheads are fighting fit.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00They've won seven on the trot.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04So you've caught them in a good spell - but it means the jackpot
0:02:04 > 0:02:07is rather juicy - £8,000
0:02:07 > 0:02:08saying you can't beat them.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15And you can choose to take on Chris, or Dave, Kevin, Barry, or Lisa.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Right, well, who's our history man now?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- I have a feeling that's you, isn't it?- OK. Right, OK.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Christopher, against which Egghead?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Lisa. Please.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30OK. Christopher, from Paddy and the Pearls of Wisdom,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33versus Lisa from the Eggheads. Are you ready for this, Lisa?
0:02:33 > 0:02:34- Always.- Here we go.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Please go to our legendary Question Room now.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Christopher, your choice, would you like to go first or second
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- on History? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49And here is your first question.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51"I came, I saw, I conquered,"
0:02:51 > 0:02:55is a quote first attributed to which historical figure?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00It certainly wasn't Joseph Stalin.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02It wasn't Hannibal, either.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03It was Julius Caesar.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It was Julius Caesar, well done.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Do we know, Lisa, whether he said that or was it Shakespeare,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- where did that come up? - You're asking the wrong Egg.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Check with the others. - Or was it a Carry On film, Eggheads?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16It was a genuine quote from Caesar.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18And who was it who said, "Infamy, infamy,
0:03:18 > 0:03:19"they've all got it in for me"?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- That was Kenneth Williams.- OK. That's not the same thing at all!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:26 > 0:03:28See how highbrow we are here, gentlemen, you see this?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30History. Lisa, your question.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32See if you can lower the tone.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38What type of vehicle were the 19th-century ironclads?
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Got to tread carefully here.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Very carefully.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Ironclad doesn't sound very floatable
0:03:46 > 0:03:50but I think probably still the most likely answer is warship.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54With apologies to Chris if this has gone horribly wrong,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- I shall try warships.- Chris?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- She's right.- She's right!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So, equal after one question.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04And back to you, Christopher.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07What name was given to General Haig's ill-fated offensive
0:04:07 > 0:04:10at the Battle of the Somme in World War I?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Ah. That's tricky.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21I think great push sounds very military
0:04:21 > 0:04:23so I'm going to say great push.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Yes, great push is correct.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Well done.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29You're ahead of Lisa.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Let's see if it's temporary.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Lisa, the Battle of Anzio took place in which country in 1944?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I think that's a fairly safe bet for Italy.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Italy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Italy. You would have upset Chris if you'd got that wrong.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- It is Italy, Chris, isn't it? - It is, yes.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49So, Italy is right. Well done, Lisa.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53And we go to your third question now, Christopher.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Which of these is a nickname given to King William IV of Great Britain?
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Well, it wasn't Soldier and the Farmer, that sounds like...
0:05:04 > 0:05:05It was Sailor King.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08It was Sailor King, you're right.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11So, three out of three. OK!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Feeling nervous, Lisa?- Always.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Here's your question.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16In Roman culture,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20which type of gladiator typically fought in a suit of armour
0:05:20 > 0:05:23resembling that of a Greek soldier?
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Now, all I'm getting here is a very tenuous connection
0:05:32 > 0:05:34between the hoplites,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37or hop-lites, who I think were
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Greek infantrymen, and Hoplomachus.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Given that's where my shred of logic is, I will try Hoplomachus.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46The shred is enough, it is Hoplomachus.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Well done, Lisa.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So, after three questions each, the scores are level.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53We go to Sudden Death. Gets a bit harder, now, Christopher,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- because I don't give you alternative answers.- Right.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Here's your question.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Which historical figure who was executed in 1540 was known
0:06:01 > 0:06:06as Malleus Monachorum, the Hammer of the Monks?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Right, I'm just trying to think of someone who didn't like monks...
0:06:09 > 0:06:11in 1540.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15And I can't. Sorry, I just don't know.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18No. Absolute blank, sorry.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- OK. Lisa, do you know?- I thought it might be Thomas Cromwell.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Yeah, it is, he supervised the dissolution of the monasteries
0:06:23 > 0:06:25and it was King Henry VIII's time and so on.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29650 monasteries were closed, that's why...
0:06:29 > 0:06:30he had that description.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Now this gives Lisa a little bit of an advantage here, Christopher.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Cos if she gets this right, she's knocked you out.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Lisa. Andrew Moray fought to secure independence for which country from
0:06:41 > 0:06:43English rule in the 13th century?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Er, I think percentage guess would be Scotland,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49let's just have a little think about that.
0:06:49 > 0:06:5113th century sounds about right.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Yes. Scotland.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Yes, he was a contemporary of William Wallace,
0:06:57 > 0:06:58although Wallace was better known,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01and he was fighting for independence for Scotland.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03You're right. Well done, Lisa, you've won the round.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Sorry, Christopher, knocked out.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Knocked out by Thomas Cromwell, as many were.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Please come back to us and we'll play on.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14So, as it stands, Paddy and the Pearls of Wisdom
0:07:14 > 0:07:16have lost a brain, but it's early days.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Sorry, Christopher.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22And the next subject is Music.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24So which Pearl wants this?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Who are we going to...?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I think if it's 21st century, it's going to be Josh, isn't it?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Yeah, Josh.- Yes. I think it has to be Josh.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34What if Sport comes up later, are we just going to take our chances?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I think we have to take our chances.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- OK, I'll take this one, please, Jeremy.- OK, good stuff.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Music, with Josh,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43and on the Eggheads side, who would you like?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Not Lisa.- Who shall we go for on this one? Shall we go with Chris?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Yeah? I'll go with Chris, please.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Great stuff. Josh from Paddy and the Pearls of Wisdom,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- and Chris, are you ready for this? - Ready as I'll ever be.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Would you like to go first or second on Music, Josh?
0:08:02 > 0:08:03I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Here we go. "Peace on earth and mercy mild,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11"God and sinners reconciled,"
0:08:11 > 0:08:14are lines from which Christmas carol?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23I think this is where my knowledge of being in a choir whilst at school
0:08:23 > 0:08:28and also for my last company I worked for comes into full effect.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32So, it is Hark The Herald Angels Sing, Jeremy.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It's very handy, isn't it, that choir experience?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Hark The Herald Angels Sing is right. Well done.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Chris.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Which of these jazz musicians was born first.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well, Wynton Marsalis, I think he's still going.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Miles Davis was sort of '50s and '60s,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57but going right back to pre-Great War New Orleans and
0:08:57 > 0:08:59the orphanage he was brought up in,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02the first of those to be born was Louis Armstrong.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Louis Armstrong's quite right, well done.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Back to our Challenger - Josh.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09On which Beatles album did the songs A Day In The Life,
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Lovely Rita and When I'm Sixty-Four first appear?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Not a huge Beatles fan.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Not really my era.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25But I'm going to have to go with...
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I don't think it's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and something's telling me that Let It Be was more recent
0:09:33 > 0:09:34but that's just a guess.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38So I'm going to go with Revolver. But it could be wrong.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40We've got some Beatles fans in your team, I think.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Guys, tell us.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- ALL:- Sgt. Pepper.- Sgt. Pepper!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Oh, the one I ruled out.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49The answer was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50OK, you've given Chris the advantage.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Let's see whether he can capitalise.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Give It Away, Under The Bridge and Scar Tissue are UK hit singles
0:09:56 > 0:09:58by which American band?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06"Give it away, give it away, give it away now."
0:10:06 > 0:10:09That's the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Red Hot Chilli Peppers is right.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Well done.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13He's in the lead, Josh.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Yeah, I knew that one as well.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Panic stations. I know you knew that.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I suppose the Red Hot Chilli Pepper question for Chris is the equivalent
0:10:21 > 0:10:22of the Beatles question for you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Exactly.- Outside your time zone!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26So, you need to get this right.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Which member of the Rat Pack was nicknamed Mr Show Business?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37See, once again, not in my timeframe.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42I am a fan of the Rat Pack but don't know their nicknames.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I don't think it's Joey Bishop.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'm leaning towards Sammy Davis Jnr
0:10:46 > 0:10:49but it could be Frank Sinatra as well.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I'm going to go with my heart and say Sammy Davis Jnr.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- That's what I initially thought. - Let's see, Eggheads, is he right?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Yes.- Well done, you are right, it is Sammy Davis Jnr. Well done.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01So you pulled it back but is it enough?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Chris, you can take the round with this.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Which of these is a famous piece of music by the composer
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Camille Saint-Saens?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Well, O Fortuna's Carl Orff,
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Clair De Lune's Debussy,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17so it's Danse Macabre.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Wow, you made short work of that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Anyone want to dispute this?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23No, he's right, isn't he?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Danse Macabre, it is. Chris, you've taken the round.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Josh, beaten by our Egghead.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Similar pattern to the first round.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32So come back to us, both of you, and we'll play on.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35So Paddy and the Pearls of Wisdom are,
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I think we're saving the pearls until later rounds.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I sincerely hope so.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Well, let's see, you've lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48The Eggheads are all still sitting there looking a little bit too happy
0:11:48 > 0:11:50with themselves, I think. So let's change that.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52It's Science now.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Which Paddy or which Pearl?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I have a sneaking suspicion that's going to be me.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00I think we'll leave the Pearls here and send Paddy.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I'm in the hot seat this time.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04OK, Paddy, now, against which Egghead?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06It's got to be one of the three in the middle.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I would love to meet Dave.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Good. So from Paddy and the Pearls, it's Paddy himself
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and from the Eggheads, it's Dave himself.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Please go to our Question Room now.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Paddy, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30So, Paddy, team captain, going into the breach, going first,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32and here's your question.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35In which part of the human body are the tonsils located?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Well, I've got a bit of history on this.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45In that I've had them removed.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So I think they are in the back of the throat.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Back of the throat is right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Well done. A point to our Challenger.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Dave. How many legs to termites have?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Right, well, I'll put them as an insect, so I've got to go six.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Yeah, six is right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05OK, Paddy.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Which zoological phrase refers to animals from the continents
0:13:08 > 0:13:11of Europe, Asia and Africa?
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Well, New World, I would put down to America,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21and Dark World,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I would think must be somewhere else,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25but I would choose Old World there.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Yeah, it's a bit like wines, isn't it?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Old World is right.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Dave, your second question.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34What name is given to the orbital region around a star
0:13:34 > 0:13:38in which a planet can possess liquid water on its surface
0:13:38 > 0:13:41and possibly support life?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Well, never heard of this at all.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I'm going to get rid of Rapunzel zone
0:13:52 > 0:13:54for no particular reason.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01I'll go through fairy tales, why would it be Goldilocks?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03And Cinderella zone...
0:14:03 > 0:14:06sounds more feasible.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I'm just going to go Cinderella zone.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Cinderella zone.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Ooh, Tremendous Knowledge Dave...
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Failed.- Goldilocks zone -
0:14:16 > 0:14:18it's that thing of not too hot, not too cold!
0:14:18 > 0:14:21And I'm checking with the Eggheads to make sure I'm right,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- but it's that idea.- Bear's porridge.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25It's the porridge, Chris, that's the reference, isn't it?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Yeah. OK.- Not too hot, not too cold.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30The third was just right!
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Yes, exactly. So, this is good, Paddy.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Here's your question. In the human body, what are glycine,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40leucine and valine?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I don't think it's muscles.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49And I'm thinking of glycerin
0:14:49 > 0:14:51and I'm trying to work out whether that could be
0:14:51 > 0:14:54an enzyme or an amino acid.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56And I'm...
0:14:57 > 0:14:58I'm torn.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I think I'll go for enzymes.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03OK, looking at your team-mates,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05there's a little moment of pain here.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Team-mates?- Amino acids.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09We think it's amino acids.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11They've gone amino and they're right.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Amino acids it is, Paddy, sorry.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16You just didn't quite take advantage of Dave's slip-up.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19But let's see, you can still go through to the final on this question.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Dave, you have to get this right, my friend.- Yeah.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25The sable is a mammal belonging to which family of animals?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Sable is S-A-B-L-E.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32It's not a dog.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It's one with fur
0:15:34 > 0:15:37because we get fur from it like the sable coats.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I'm not too sure but I'm going to go weasel.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Weasel is correct.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50So you've drawn level. Well done, Dave.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Paddy, it goes to Sudden Death and it gets a little bit harder.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I don't give you alternatives.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Here's your question. In the periodic table,
0:15:57 > 0:16:02how many chemical elements begin with the letter Z.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Z. Er, Zirconium...
0:16:05 > 0:16:08There's zinc.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I would say three.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17So you've named zirconium and zinc.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Yes.- And you've added one and got three.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- OK.- Yes.- It's so painful, this.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- It's only two. It's the two you named!- Oh, dear!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28The reason that you couldn't think of the third one is that
0:16:28 > 0:16:29- there isn't a third one!- Probably.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Yes.- Hang on in there, Paddy, it may not be over.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Dave, get this right, you're in the final.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38What is the square root of 324?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Right, OK. Let's try it this way.
0:16:41 > 0:16:4313 is 169.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47I believe 14 is 196.
0:16:47 > 0:16:5015 must be 225.
0:16:50 > 0:16:5216 - 256.
0:16:52 > 0:16:5517 is 289.
0:16:55 > 0:16:5818, logically...
0:16:58 > 0:17:01So 270 would be 15 times 18,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03which leaves three 18s at 54,
0:17:03 > 0:17:08and it's 324 after, so I'm going to go 18.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10OK. Easy for me to say.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Maybe the way to say this is - what number multiplied by itself
0:17:13 > 0:17:15gives you a number ending in four.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18So, it can't be five, six, seven, nine...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20You're right, anyway, it's 18.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Well done, Dave, you got it.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I know how difficult it is to do square roots
0:17:24 > 0:17:27when the light is on there, so you've taken the round.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Sorry, Paddy.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Zinc and zirconium!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- There we go.- Yes. - Dave will be in the final round.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Please come back to us.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36We've got one more round to play before the final.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41So, as it stands, we've lost the skipper from the Challengers.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Bad luck, Paddy. - It's the way it goes.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45They've lost three brains from the final round,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47the Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Still sitting there, looking solid.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52The next subject is Sport.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55So this could be the turning point. CHALLENGERS CHUCKLE
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Who wants Sport? - Like a hole in the head!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- That's you, isn't it?- Looks like me.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07OK, James, choose an Egghead, either the great Kevin or the great Barry.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09The lesser of two evils.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Whatever happens, it's going to go wrong.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Kevin.- Yes.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Please, I think.- Yeah, OK.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Well, good luck. James from Paddy and the Pearls of Wisdom
0:18:19 > 0:18:22versus Kevin from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Let's see if this is the moment the Challengers take a round back.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Please go to the Question Room for the last time.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30James, big moment for your team.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Can you come back and get yourself into the final?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Do you want to go first or second?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44So the Grand Master Kevin takes the first question and here it is.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Who won the 2016 Wimbledon ladies' singles final?
0:18:53 > 0:18:59Uh, well, Kvitova has won it a couple of times but not in 2016.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Simona Halep has yet to do so.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I believe this was Serena Williams.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Yes, it was Serena Williams, well done.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11So your question, here, James.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Which of these sportswomen was born first?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Jessica Ennis-Hill is as famous and incredible as we all know she is,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I suspect is the oldest.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Jade Jones, if I'm correct in thinking who she is,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33is younger than Ennis-Hill.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Amy Tinkler, I have to hold my hands up,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39to my huge embarrassment and apologies to her,
0:19:39 > 0:19:44not know who she is, but I would say Jessica Ennis-Hill.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Jessica Ennis-Hill is the right answer.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Well done. Let's check with the Eggheads, here.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50- So Amy Tinkler?- Gymnast.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Just 16 when she won a bronze at Rio 2016.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Oh, I've got it now.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I remember, yeah. OK, so level.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58And, Kevin, we go to you.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02What was the nickname of the three-time former world darts
0:20:02 > 0:20:03champion John Lowe?
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Yeah, well, he was famously, what shall we say, impassive.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15So, yeah, he was known as Old Stoneface.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Old Stoneface.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Yes, you're right.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21So, James, your question.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27Which country's team won the 2016 European Football Championships?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Despite a very valiant effort, it wasn't Wales.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I think it was Portugal, Jeremy.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Correct. Portugal's right.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So, the situation is, you're level after two questions.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Let's see what Kevin can do with his third.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52The boxer Tony Bellew became a world champion in which weight in 2016?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57From Liverpool, I believe.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Er, maybe wrong there, might be.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01He's not a bantamweight.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04He's heavier than that. I don't believe he's a middleweight.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Erm...
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I don't believe he's a middleweight. I'll say cruiserweight.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Cruiserweight. Well, Dave loves his boxing.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Dave?- Yeah, it is, yeah. Kevin's right.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14He's right, yeah. You got it, Kevin.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Three out of three. Cruiserweight it is.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19So here's your question, James.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Which of these wicketkeepers played in the most Test matches
0:21:23 > 0:21:25for the England cricket team?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32My initial instinct was Alan Knott.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35"Not" knowing for sure, forgive the pun,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37exactly what the answer was or is,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I'm going to stick with it and say Alan Knott.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Often a useful sign.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Initial instinct says Alan Knott.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45The correct answer is Alan Knott.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Well done. You're still in it.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51OK, just keep on batting away, there.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Kevin, Sudden Death, now.
0:21:53 > 0:21:59What colour medal did Jonny Brownlee win in the 2016 Olympic triathlon?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Silver.- Silver's correct.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Sudden Death.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I don't give you alternatives, James.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07In September 2016,
0:22:07 > 0:22:12who was announced as the coach of the British and Irish Lions squad
0:22:12 > 0:22:16to tour New Zealand in 2017?
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Warren Gatland.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Warren Gatland is correct.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Kevin, the cricketer Marcus Trescothick has played
0:22:26 > 0:22:30county cricket for which team for over 20 years?
0:22:30 > 0:22:31That is Somerset.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Somerset is right.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37James. To stay in -
0:22:37 > 0:22:41which American football team won Super Bowl 50,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44contested in February 2016?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Miami Dolphins.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Denver Broncos is the answer.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Sorry, James. But you played very well, there.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54You have lost to Kevin.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Kevin will be in the final.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58In fact, all the Eggheads will be in the final round.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Come back to us, both of you, and we will play that final, for £8,000.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Yeah, on the Jessica Ennis-Hill question, which you got right,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08James, little bit of imprecision, actually,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10cos there are two Jade Joneses.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- That's true.- Both of them were born after Jessica.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15One is a Paralympian wheelchair racer,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19born 1996 and the other one is taekwondo, born '93.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Interesting.- So, just so we, we clocked that.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25It is time for the final round,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:23:30 > 0:23:32to take part in this round.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34So it's all from the Challenger side, I'm afraid.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Paddy, Christopher, James, and Josh, from Paddy and the Pearls of Wisdom,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41would you now please leave the studio?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Edward, good luck in this round.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48You're playing to win Paddy and the Pearls of Wisdom £8,000.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51And I think they may be rather grateful if it happens,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53sitting back there and listening.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Lisa, Barry, Kevin, Dave, and Chris,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57you're playing for something that money can't really buy,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59which is the Eggheads' precious reputation,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02and to keep this formidable run going.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09You are allowed to confer.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Edward, I'm sorry, that doesn't help you on your side cos you're alone.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16The question is - can you, with your one brain, defeat these five?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18So good luck, Edward, good luck to you and your team.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28So, General Knowledge, and here is your first question.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32What was the first name of the gardener commonly known
0:24:32 > 0:24:34as Capability Brown?
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Lancelot.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Lancelot is quite right.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Eggheads, what is the name for Cornwall in the Cornish language?
0:24:50 > 0:24:51- ALL:- Kernow.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Yes. All happy with Kernow?- Yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Yes. Well, I'm afraid I don't have a Cornish dialect,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59wonderful as it is, but the answer to that is Kernow.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Kernow is correct.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04So you're level after one question each.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06And, Edward, back to you.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12Who plays the role of Harley Quinn in the 2016 film Suicide Squad?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I've never heard of the film or any of them.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22So it's going to be a complete guess.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Can you give me the choice of answers again?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- I'll pick the middle one.- Kate Mara?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Yes.- Eggheads, do you know it?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- ALL:- Margot Robbie. - Margot Robbie is the answer.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40Bad luck, Edward. They have a chance to take the lead in the final round.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Playing for £8,000.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Which singer is known for his association with The Bad Seeds?
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Oh, I had another chorus of Nick Caves here
0:25:53 > 0:25:56so I cannot argue against that and we'll go for Nick Cave.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Nick Cave is the right answer.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02So, they've taken the lead here.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06And, Edward, you need to get this one right to keep hope alive.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12The Brazilian Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in which field?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20There's a tiny inkling that says aviation and I cannot think why.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26I don't know but I just,
0:26:26 > 0:26:30something tingles on aviation so I'll go with that.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33It's interesting, just behind you, your team-mates are going,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35"Aviation, aviation". You're right.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37It's aviation. Well done.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Well done!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:26:40 > 0:26:42So, level,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44but the Eggheads have the edge
0:26:44 > 0:26:47cos they've got this one further question.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50If you get this right, Eggheads, the contest is over.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Cereology is the study or the investigation of what?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- I think it's...- It's spelt C-E-R, OK?- ..crop circles.- Crop circles.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- We believe it's crop circles. - I think we need a spelling.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Can we have a spelling? - Yeah, OK. C-E-R-E-O-L-O-G-Y.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Yeah, crop circles.- Yeah, from the spelling, from C-E-R.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- Let's just think about it. - Just to make sure.- OK.- Yeah, OK.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- Yeah, OK.- All happy with that?- Yeah.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- All happy with crop circles?- Yeah.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I think this is men with long pieces of string and planks.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's crop circles.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Crop circles, you say?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31You've just gone straight from it's, it's like cereal,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34and cereal grows in fields and therefore it might...
0:27:34 > 0:27:36It's not, you know, cereal can decay your teeth, can't it?
0:27:36 > 0:27:40It can make animals migrate because they're in search of cereal?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42It can, but not in this instance.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I wish I could persuade you otherwise.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48The answer is crop circles.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I know it's hard when you end up alone, and particularly that film,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Suicide Squad, has come up a lot, hasn't it?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I haven't seen it myself. I don't know what it's all about.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Well, sorry you came a cropper, there, Edward,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08but doughty play by your team and I hope you enjoyed it.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- Certainly did.- Confronting these, these five legends.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Commiserations to the team, Paddy and the Pearls of Wisdom.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Here they are, the Eggheads, doing what comes naturally.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19This winning streak continues.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23It does mean that our Challengers don't go home with the £8,000,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25so the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Eggheads, very well done.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I wonder if you can actually be beaten at all?
0:28:29 > 0:28:30I'm tempting fate, aren't I?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:33 > 0:28:37have the brains to take them down. £9,000 to play for.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Until then, goodbye.
