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?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- And answering all the questions at the moment, Eggs.- Yeah.- Mm-hm.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- Amazing run.- I guess it's got to come to an end at some point.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Challenging our resident quiz champions today are the
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Wraysbury Dragons.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Now, this team are triple world champions in the sport of
0:00:45 > 0:00:47dragon boat racing,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50after recently winning three gold medals in the over 50s
0:00:50 > 0:00:55category at the 10th World Club Crew Championships in Australia.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Let's meet them.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, my name's Clive and I'm a carpenter.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, my name is Liz and I'm a doctor's surgery manager.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Phil and I run my own training company.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, my name's Fiona and I'm a small business owner.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Neale and I'm also a small business owner.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- So, Clive and team, welcome. ALL:- Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Clive, tell us about dragon boats, what they are.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22To the layman, they're a big long canoe. 40ft long.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Ten people paddling down each side, on one side.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Big drum on the front, someone's sitting on a seat,
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- banging the drum, somebody's standing on the back, steering. - And one of those heads at the front?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Yeah, a big dragon's head on the front.- I was thinking Viking, but it sounds more like Chinese.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- It is Chinese, yeah.- OK. And where do you keep them when you're not racing them?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44We belong to a club on Runnymede,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47called Wraysbury Skiff & Punt and Dragon Boat Club and the
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- boats are all kept underneath the clubhouse and we just pull them out onto the river.- Brilliant!
0:01:51 > 0:01:56So, when they come out and you race them or you just sail in them,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59it's quite a sight, quite a noise as well, I should think.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Yeah, when we're racing, yeah, because you might have up to six boats racing each other.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Most of what we do of course is training several times a week.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12You know, fitness training, circuits and then we go out in the boat twice a week, training as well.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And who bangs the drum? Is there a drummer on the crew?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- The smallest person! - Yeah, a small person, yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22You could suddenly produce the drum now cos that would terrify them!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24It really would. Good luck.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our
0:02:27 > 0:02:29challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Now, Wraysbury Dragons, I can tell you the Eggheads are really
0:02:36 > 0:02:38storming it, they're steaming down the river.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41They've won the last nine games.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43So, there's £10,000 for you to win today.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Would you like to try?- Yes!- Yes! - OK, let's set sail.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- You can have Beth or Chris, Pat, Barry, or Lisa.- Film & TV.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Film & TV.- Fiona, I think.- That's me then. Or do you want to do that?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Do you want to go first?- Yeah, I'll go.- OK.- Who do you want to take on?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Who are we going to challenge? - We'll challenge Barry.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Lovely, so, Fiona, small business owner.- Shirts!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Challenging Barry.- It's going to be the battle of the tops.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16You're right. We're going to have to tone them down. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20would you please take your positions in our legendary question room?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Film & TV, Fiona. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30So, good luck.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Which actress' character died in series five of the TV drama
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Cold Feet?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43OK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Um...
0:03:46 > 0:03:51I think Fay Ripley and Hermione Norris are in the new one.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53And Helen Baxendale isn't.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Although I haven't seen the new one, I think it's Helen Baxendale.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Helen Baxendale is the right answer. Well done.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04OK, Barry. Your question.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Antonioni's 1966 film Blow-Up features the story of which
0:04:09 > 0:04:11of these?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Well, I enjoyed this film very much.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I didn't quite understand what it was all about,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24but I did enjoy it and I'm pretty certain it featured a photographer.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Photographer is right. Well done.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Fiona, your question.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Joan Crawford had a famous feud with which actress,
0:04:31 > 0:04:36with whom she starred in the 1962 film Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Oh, I've seen the film. It's absolutely brilliant.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I believe it's Bette Davis.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Bette Davis is right, well done. I think it's great too.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55OK. So, you're ahead. Let's see if Barry comes back.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Here's your question, Barry.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Which British actor co-wrote the 2016 science fiction
0:05:00 > 0:05:03blockbuster Star Trek Beyond?
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Oh, goodness me!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13This one passed me by.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16But the only one of those three that I would associate with any
0:05:16 > 0:05:20writing is Simon Pegg, so on that basis, I'll go for Simon Pegg.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Yes, you're right. Simon Pegg, it is.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Back to you, two-each.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Fiona, which role in TV's Poldark was taken on by Ralph Bates
0:05:29 > 0:05:33in 1975 and by Jack Farthing in 2015?
0:05:40 > 0:05:41I really don't know.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I haven't watched any of it.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Shame on me.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Um...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I'm going to go with Francis Poldark.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Yeah, I could see the attraction of that.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57He must have been in it anyway.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01But it's not the right answer. It's George Warleggan.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02I wouldn't have chosen him.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06OK, so that gives Barry a bit of an opening here. Let's see.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Barry, the actor Simon Baker, known for playing the lead role in
0:06:10 > 0:06:13the TV series The Mentalist, was born in which country?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I've never watched The Mentalist, unfortunately,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22so I'm all at sea at this one.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I'm going to have a punt at Australia.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28If you've got this right, you're in the final round. Let's see.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Eggheads, is he right?- Perfectly.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- You are right, Barry. Well done. - Sorry about that.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35It was a punt, but it's got you through. Sorry, Fiona.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Almost a one in three, but maybe he had an inkling somewhere.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Barry will be in the final. Fiona's been knocked out.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Return to us, please, and we'll play the next round.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47So, the Wraysbury Dragons have lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51The Eggheads are still sitting there, all five, and playing well at the moment, generally.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55So, hurl yourselves at them. The next subject is History.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Who would like this? History.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Shall I go for it?- That's Clive's, isn't it?- Yeah.- That's me.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06OK, Clive, a carpenter, against which Egghead, can't be Barry?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Pat.- Yeah, we think. - Depends on the questions.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11And the answers.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Are you going for Pat? - We'll go for Pat.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14They're hard to avoid.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17If you leave them out of the individual rounds,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19they show up in the final, so good luck here, Clive,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21from the Wraysbury Dragons,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23playing History against Pat from the Eggheads.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Please go to our question room.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I was just looking at some statistics for Pat on
0:07:29 > 0:07:32History, Clive, and you've
0:07:32 > 0:07:35played 43, Pat, History rounds.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Oh. That's quite a lot.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Do you know how many you've lost? - Three? Two?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- One!- One.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- Oh.- Go on, Clive!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Well, I remember when Kevin was sailing along, Clive,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50with absolutely unbeaten record and then he got taken down twice
0:07:50 > 0:07:54in exactly this kind of circumstance, so fear not.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04OK. Here is your first History question, Clive.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09In 1805, in which ocean did the Battle of Trafalgar take place?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Um...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Yeah, I've read about this and I don't think we did much in
0:08:18 > 0:08:20the Pacific or the Arctic in those days.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I think it was the Atlantic.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Atlantic is right.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Pat, in which century did the monarch purchase the property
0:08:30 > 0:08:33that is now known as Buckingham Palace?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Let's think about this.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I always link William IV with Buckingham Palace.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Was he the first monarch to live there on a permanent basis?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's not the 20th, that's far too recent.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55The 16th, that's the 1500s - I think that's far too early.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I think the 18th looks correct.
0:08:59 > 0:09:0118th is right. Well done.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Good reasoning.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05He's good, isn't he? He's very good. OK, Clive.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Which of these rulers was the father of Charlemagne,
0:09:08 > 0:09:10the first Holy Roman Emperor?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Well...
0:09:19 > 0:09:23This I really do not know anything about.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26So I'm going to have to take a punt.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I'm going to go Alfonso.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I don't know if there is somebody called Alfonso the Slobberer.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34It's not the right answer.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39It is the best option though, for sheer entertainment value.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Pat, you'll know this. Was there an Alfonso the Slobberer?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I don't know.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48It sounds like a Spanish king, but it's not very complimentary.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52OK, the right answer is Pepin the Short.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Pat, your question.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Where did the Battle of Pinkie take place in 1547?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03It's definitely not Ireland.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07It took place on the island of Great Britain.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I think it's sometimes called Pinkie Cleugh.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15And it's in either the north of England or across the border
0:10:15 > 0:10:17in Scotland.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I should know this really.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'll assume it was the English who travelled north to get busy
0:10:23 > 0:10:27and that the exchange took place in Scotland.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Scotland is correct, Pat.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31And brilliant reasoning, if I may say so.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33OK, Clive.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Get this one right and you draw level.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38In which part of modern Europe did the Wendish Crusade take
0:10:38 > 0:10:41place in 1147?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50OK.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Wendish.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Again, something I've not heard of before.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I'm going to say Southern France, with no real knowledge,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01to be honest.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Understood. It's not easy. Any challengers?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Take a stab at it?- No, I'd have gone for Germany myself, but...- Germany?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I'd say Russia, so we've got them all covered.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Got them all covered.- We've had Germany, Russia, France so far.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Pat, what about you?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18I think the Wendish are a tribe in Northern Germany.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I think it was a dialect of German.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Northern Germany is the right answer, Clive. I'm sorry.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27You become the 43rd out of 44 History wins for Pat.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Well done, you're through to the final.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You do look unstoppable on History, I must say.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Clive, no shame in being beaten by him in this round.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Come back to us and we'll see what happens in the next one.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43As it stands, the Wraysbury Dragons have lost two brains from the
0:11:43 > 0:11:45final round. The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It's time to get the boats out. OK?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50And the drums. The next subject is Geography.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Who would like this?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I'll do it. Shall I take one?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- I'll do Geography then. - Phil's going to do that.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Geography.- Get the boat out.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Good stuff.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05OK. Company director Phil from the Wraysbury Dragons and
0:12:05 > 0:12:07you can take on Lisa or Chris or Beth.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13- Down to you, Phil.- Don't start now. I'm going to take on...- Lisa?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Lisa then. Lisa, can I take you on?- Certainly.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20And fair to say, we've had our moments on Geography, haven't we?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I think you've since bought a map and looked at it.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Phil from the Wraysbury Dragons versus Lisa,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28who is giving me a smouldering stare, from the Eggheads.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the question room.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Lisa, since I made my remark about Geography, I looked up your
0:12:37 > 0:12:39figures and they're very good.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41The last 14 rounds, you've won 13.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Yeah, that's killed that then. Thank you, Jeremy.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48The last 15 rounds, I will have won 13!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Well, you lost one of the last one, that's true.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53But there was a moment when you struggled,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55but that's back in the mists of time, I think.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I did for a long time have a very, very good run, yeah.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01But as you mentioned, that's come to an abrupt end,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03so slate is now clean.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Phil, on Geography, do you want to go first or second?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'm going to shake it up a bit if I can, be different,
0:13:08 > 0:13:09and I'll go second, please.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15All right. So, Lisa, you start.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20White, red, and which other colour feature on the flag of Slovakia?
0:13:24 > 0:13:29One of the myriad that are white, red and blue.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Indeed. White, red and blue is the answer. OK, Phil.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37The city of Kingston upon Hull takes its name from which
0:13:37 > 0:13:38geographical feature?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47This means nothing to me, I know it's on a river, but...obviously
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Hull. Um...
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I'm going to go for river.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I'm glad you did. We're not trying to catch you out here,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- it's the obvious answers, it's river.- Oh, good.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Thank you. - The Hull is the river.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Lisa, your second question.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04The word "great" in Great Britain was historically used to
0:14:04 > 0:14:07distinguish the island comprising England, Scotland,
0:14:07 > 0:14:13and Wales, from an area that is now part of which modern country?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Is it as simple as saying there's a link between Britain and Brittany?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Britain and Breton, Britannia.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Oh, I wonder.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Yeah, I think...
0:14:27 > 0:14:31I can't really make much of an argument for Spain or Denmark,
0:14:31 > 0:14:32from what I know.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Which, as we know on geography, is not a whole big load.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I'll try France.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39France is right.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Now, again, I know this is basic for you Eggheads, but help me out here.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47The idea being that Britain used to be what we live in now and
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- bits of France? Is that correct?- Utterly, yeah.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Right, Phil, see if you can just keep up with Lisa here.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57What is the approximate population of the island of Barbados?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Barbados. Barbados.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Again, I've got no idea. It cannot be anywhere near 28 million.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Um...
0:15:13 > 0:15:172.8 million, that's sort of the size of a decent sort of city.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22I've got no idea. I'm going to go for 280,000.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Yes, you've got it right. Well done. 280,000. Playing well.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Two-each.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Lisa, in which continent is the point on the Earth's surface
0:15:31 > 0:15:34that is furthest from the centre of the planet?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Now, that is really going some, isn't it, as an idea?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I mean, I assume when they say the centre of the planet,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48they mean if you were to lift out a wedge like a piece of pie and
0:15:48 > 0:15:54measure from the core to the top, as opposed to doing on a map?
0:15:54 > 0:15:55OK. So...
0:15:57 > 0:16:02It's not as simple as saying, you know, highest mountain,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04or anything like that, is it?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Unless it's an under sea one.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Um...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Which would be silly cos there's bits of land that would be
0:16:12 > 0:16:15higher than that.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17This is very hard.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Um...
0:16:19 > 0:16:22OK, let's plump for South America.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- South America is the right answer. - Blimey.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Barry, I can see this is almost your perfect question.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Can you explain why, how this can be true?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35The Earth is technically called an oblate spheroid and all that means
0:16:35 > 0:16:36is it bulges in the middle,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39so it's fatter in the middle than it is at the poles.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42So in South America, where the Andes come up,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador, actually stretches out
0:16:44 > 0:16:47further from the centre than any other point on the planet.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51And the way you measure it is to measure the gravitational
0:16:51 > 0:16:54constant, so gravity will be less at the top there than it would
0:16:54 > 0:16:55be at any other point on Earth.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58You're absolutely right, even the name of the mountain.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01All I can say, Lisa, to sum up is that in answering this question,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Barry has got more excited than I've ever seen him.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I'll get the skinny in a minute.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09You'll get the full explanation when you come back.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12You might want to take a different route. Three to Lisa.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15You need this, Phil.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18What is the name of Mauritania's official unit of currency?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Mauritania.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I know...
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I know typically we would, Egghead style, go right down the middle.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34But I just don't like the look of that word.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I can't think any link to that to currency,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39whereas the other two I probably can.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I am going to go for Birr.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Birr is your answer. - It is indeed.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Let us see, let us see. They're all real currencies, I think.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- The leone is Sierra Leone, is it? - Mm-hm.- The birr is where?- Ethiopia.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Ethiopia. - So it's going to be the middle one.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Ouguiya, the middle one, is the Mauritania. Sorry, Phil.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01You got it wrong on the third question.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03You've been knocked out by Lisa. Well done!
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- So I won't even do the statistic cos it'll just annoy you too much. - Thank you.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09But you're still on track with Geography, Lisa. Playing well. Come back to us, please,
0:18:09 > 0:18:13and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Right, the Wraysbury Dragons have lost three brains from the
0:18:15 > 0:18:18final round. You've got another round to play.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And the next subject for you is Food & Drink.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Who would like this?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Do you want me to do it? I think it's got to be me.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- OK, Liz. Our doctor's surgery manager.- Who shall we play?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34You can have either Chris or Beth.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Is he a Food & Drink man? Get rid of him?- I think Chris.- Yeah.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Can I have Chris, please?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Right, Liz, from the Wraysbury Dragons,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45going in against Chris on Food & Drink.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Ready, Chris?- As I'll ever be.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Let's get into the breach, go to the question room,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52for the last time, please.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56OK, so, Food & Drink, Liz, and would you like to go first or second?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I'd like to go first, please.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Good luck against Chris. Here we go.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06See if you can get into the final, Liz.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Which of these is often used to deglaze a pan?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Well, cheese is going to make it even worse.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17And probably eggs would too.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20So I'm going to go down the middle with wine, please.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Wine is correct.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Is that how you do it, Chris?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Can't think I've ever deglazed a pan in my life.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I know what the process involves though.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Like Kevin, just buy a new one when it's dirty.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Yeah. Cheap enough.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Here's your question.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38In Indian cookery, which term refers to a type of meatball?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Meatball is a kofta.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Kofta's right.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Liz, back to you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The dish from Alsace called baeckeoffe traditionally
0:19:52 > 0:19:55contains which of these ingredients?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Never heard of this at all.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I was hoping you were going to say...
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Eggs was going to come up because eoffe sounded
0:20:07 > 0:20:09a bit like the French for eggs.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Um...
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I'm going to go down the middle, I'm afraid, with peas.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18See if Chris knows this, baeckeoffe?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I don't think it would be based on peas.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It wouldn't be very substantial.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24I think it's more likely to be potatoes.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Potatoes is the right answer. Liz, sorry.
0:20:29 > 0:20:35OK, Chris, Pommerol is a classic wine from which part of France?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Not much wine comes from Normandy.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Pommerol.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50That's pretty far south if I remember right, so it's Provence.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52No, it's Bordeaux.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Aha.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- That's good, Liz, isn't it?- Yep.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00We don't want to rejoice too much, but to be frank, it's good.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04So, get this right, put our Chris, known as the Locomotive,
0:21:04 > 0:21:05under some pressure.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Which of these cocktails is a mixture of cognac and white
0:21:08 > 0:21:10creme de menthe?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19The only one of those I've actually heard of is a Sidecar.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22And I think that's got brandy in it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I'm going to go with Stinger.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Let's see if the challengers...
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Let me ask your teammates here cos cocktails are a big quizzy thing.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31What do you think?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- I'd have gone for Stinger.- Yeah? You like it? They like it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Stinger's right. Well done.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- Ooh! - So, will two out of three be enough?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Let's see. Chris' third question now.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Which chef was the first to have restaurants in three
0:21:45 > 0:21:50different cities, all with three Michelin stars at the same time?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Not likely to be Gordon Ramsay, is it?
0:22:03 > 0:22:09Never heard of Rene Redzepi, so I'll take a punt on Alain Ducasse.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- It is Alain Ducasse, Chris.- Doh!
0:22:11 > 0:22:16You got it right! So, equal after three.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17There we are, Liz.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20They're good quizzers and good guessers sometimes as well.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23We go to sudden death. Gets a bit harder now.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- I don't give you alternative answers. OK?- OK.- Are you ready?
0:22:25 > 0:22:32- Mm-hm.- The term "caprese" denotes Italian dishes from which island?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34C-A-P-R-E-S-E.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Sounds like it ought to be Capri.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Capri is the right answer.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Well done. You have the advantage. Sudden death. Chris, back to you.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45The name of which type of fortified wine comes from that of the
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Spanish city of Jerez de la Frontera?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- That is sherry, Jeremy. - Sherry is correct.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Playing well on sudden death.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57OK. Liz, over to you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04Emmer, E-M-M-E-R, also known as Farro, F-A-R-R-O,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07is an ancient variety of which modern food crop?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I'm going to try potato.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13No, it's wheat.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Sudden death. Chris, for the round.
0:23:15 > 0:23:23The Reinheitsgebot is a long-standing piece of German
0:23:23 > 0:23:29legislation that protects the method of manufacturing which beverage?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33So it's Reinheitsgebot, all one word. I can spell that if you want.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35No, no. I know the Reinheitsgebot.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38It lays down the law on how to make beer.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Yes, there are several.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44The Bavarian law introduced in 1516 is the most famous.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Had its 500th anniversary in 2016.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51The Reinheitsgebot protects the method of manufacturing beer.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54You got there, Chris, on sudden death. Touch and go.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Liz, well done for playing that hard but I'm afraid you've been
0:23:57 > 0:23:58knocked out as well.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Come back to us. We will play the final round.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04This is what we have been playing towards. It is time for the final round,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06which as always is General Knowledge.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads are not
0:24:09 > 0:24:12allowed to take part, so that's Clive, Liz, Phil,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15and Fiona from the Wraysbury Dragons.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Would you please now leave the studio?
0:24:19 > 0:24:24So, Neale, here we are. Not maybe as you planned it, but you can still win,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27no question about that. We've got a great jackpot for you as well.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30£10,000 for the Wraysbury Dragons if you triumph.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Lisa, Barry, Pat, Chris, and Beth, you are playing for something
0:24:33 > 0:24:38that money can't put a price on, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44This time they are all General Knowledge. You're allowed to confer.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48So, Neale, the question is, can your one brain defeat these five?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- I'll give it a go.- Brilliant.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Great attitude. Would you like to go first or second?
0:24:53 > 0:24:54First, please.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01And here we are with your first question, Neale. All the best.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Which actor starred as Matt King in the 2011 film The Descendents?
0:25:12 > 0:25:16I was dreading film or TV coming up because I don't watch hardly
0:25:16 > 0:25:18any of it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23The Descendents. I'm trying to think what that would be descendents of.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Give me some sort of clue.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32With no conviction at all, I'm going to say Mark Wahlberg.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36It's not Mark Wahlberg. Funnily enough, I saw this.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39You know how sometimes you go to the cinema on your own,
0:25:39 > 0:25:40you really pay close attention?
0:25:40 > 0:25:44And it starts with a lady in a racing boat, doesn't it?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48And she crashes and it's all to do with the people left behind
0:25:48 > 0:25:50and it's George Clooney.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54OK. Your question, Eggheads.
0:25:54 > 0:26:01Sidney Luft was the third husband of which American singer and actress?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- Judy Garland.- It's Judy Garland.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Lorna Luft is Judy Garland's daughter. That's right.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Daughter, yeah.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14We're pretty convinced that is Judy Garland.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Beth, you're absolutely right. Judy Garland, it is. So, they're ahead.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- Neale, get this one right and draw level.- I'll try.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Who immediately preceded Gordon Brown as Chancellor of the Exchequer?
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Who immediately preceded?- Who immediately preceded Gordon Brown?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It wasn't Lawson.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45He was earlier than that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Clarke?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I think it was Norman Lamont.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Well, Norman Lamont was definitely Chancellor, under John Major.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03My memory is he was given the heave ho after Black Wednesday.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And it was then Kenneth Clarke.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So it was Clarke until '97, when Labour took over.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Kenneth Clarke is the answer.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Eggheads, it's in your hands now, if you get this right.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17You've taken the contest.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20What is the state capital of Alabama?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Montgomery.- Montgomery.- Montgomery.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28A collective Montgomery.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29I heard that!
0:27:29 > 0:27:31From my right.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33What is the expression for a collection of Montgomerys?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I don't know.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38You do love your state capitals. I know it's something you enjoy.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Are they right?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42If you've got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Montgomery is the answer. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You have won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Sorry, Neale. Commiserations. Didn't fall for you.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I was studying state capitals last night, as it happens.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Well, also, the Clooney question's really hard to guess,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- I think, if you haven't seen the film.- I'm rubbish with films.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Yeah, you just don't go to the cinema much.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Well, commiserations to you and the Dragons.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09It's been great hearing about the boats and meeting you all.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- And I hope you've enjoyed it. - Yeah, it's been great. Been great.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them. This winning streak continues.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Always impressive when we've got five of you sitting there.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22It does mean you won't be going home with the £10,000.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25So we roll the money over to our next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Eggheads, congratulations. Who will beat you?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the
0:28:31 > 0:28:34brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36£11,000 is the jackpot now. Very exciting.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Till we play again, goodbye.
