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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against
0:00:27 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34And hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are the Bush Whackers from Cheshire.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This team is a combination of two teams who regularly
0:00:39 > 0:00:43compete against each other at The Holly Bush in Northwich.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hello, I'm John and I'm a gardener.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm John, I'm a film and TV extra.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Lorraine and I'm an information analyst for the NHS.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Keith and I'm a polymer chemist.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Ross, I'm a scientist in the nuclear industry.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03So, John, team, welcome.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04- Thank you.- Good to see you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07John, we have got not just one quiz team here but two, have we?
0:01:07 > 0:01:13Well, Ross and Keith have joined Lorraine, John and myself.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Usually we're rivals at The Holly Bush in Little Leigh,
0:01:16 > 0:01:17but we're playing as a team today.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Brilliant. Is it very hard fought at The Holly Bush?
0:01:20 > 0:01:21It's a very challenging quiz.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24The General Knowledge section of it is really difficult.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26And who sets the questions for that, then?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Well, it's Robert, who's really good,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31and he sets the General Knowledge quiz.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33And he's watching, is he?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34- Yes.- With concern.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Good luck. I sense you girding yourselves here, Challengers.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:43 > 0:01:45for our challenging team.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that prize money
0:01:47 > 0:01:49rolls over to the next show, as you know.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Now, Bush Whackers, they are on fiery form at the moment -
0:01:52 > 0:01:54they've won the last 11.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57So it's a really good run and it means there's £12,000
0:01:57 > 0:02:00for you to win today. Would you like to try?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Yes!- OK, I thought so.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07The first head-to-head battle is on Sport and you can choose between
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Judith, Beth, Pat, Steve and Chris.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Right, who wants Sport?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14I think it's me, John.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- OK.- Ross.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22I would suggest either Chris or Judith, maybe Judith.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Right, I'll go for Judith, please.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27And you are, Ross, a nuclear scientist?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- That's correct, yes.- OK.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Thank goodness I'm not doing science!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35There is that. Doing a nuclear scientist on Sport
0:02:35 > 0:02:37is probably the better of the two options.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41So, Ross from the Bush Whackers versus Judith from the Eggheads,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43first round, here we go. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Well, Judith, this is exciting,
0:02:47 > 0:02:48you're up against a nuclear scientist,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51and you've got a history of going up against scientists
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- and doing rather well. - Yes, but at Science, not Sport.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Yes, that's true.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57That's a slight flaw in my thesis.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00OK, Ross, on Sport, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I think I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08So, here we go. Who became manager
0:03:08 > 0:03:12of the England men's football team in July 2016?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Was it...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Right, I don't think it's Tony Pulis.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26I think Roy Hodgson was earlier than that, so I shall go Sam Allardyce.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Yeah, didn't last long, but it was Sam Allardyce.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33OK, Judith, approximately how long does it take
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Mo Farah to run a 5,000m race?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Approximately...
0:03:43 > 0:03:45A half, what did you say?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- 5,000m?- 5,000m.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Well, you watch it, don't you,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53without it having to go away
0:03:53 > 0:03:56and do something else until he finishes?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59So it must be quicker than 33 minutes.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I think it's 13 minutes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03It is 13 minutes, you're right.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Yeah.- OK well done, one each.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07And we go back to you, Ross.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Where was the Formula 1 driver Nico Rosberg born?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17So, he's not Italian.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18I think I'm going to go...
0:04:20 > 0:04:21..for Sweden.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Judith, do you know this? - I think he's German.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Germany is the answer, Ross.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29So Ms Keppel's chance to take the lead
0:04:29 > 0:04:31with your second question, here we go.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Which of these England cricketers is a wicket keeper, Judith?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Alastair Cook's a batsman.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43I think it's Jonny Bairstow.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Because you could be a batsman and wicketkeeper, couldn't you?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Yes. Yes, but Alastair Cook is not a wicketkeeper.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Right. Let me check with the Eggs here, Judith. Is she right?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Yes.- Yes, they like it. Jonny Bairstow's right.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57She's taken the lead, Ross.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59It's not the sort of level of panic stations you get
0:04:59 > 0:05:01in the nuclear industry but it's close.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04The red lights are flashing. You need to get this right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08The rugby union international Brian Moore
0:05:08 > 0:05:10usually played in which position?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Ross, was it...?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Unfortunately I don't have that much knowledge on this one.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20So...
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I think I'm going to go for flanker.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Let's see, Eggheads, come on.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26- He was a hooker. - Hooker, says Beth,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30and Beth is right, hooker is the right answer. Sorry, Ross.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Two wrong answers, too dangerous in this round.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Judith, on Sport, you're through.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Am I?- Yes.- Hooray!
0:05:37 > 0:05:38That's it, no way back for Ross,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40and Judith will be in the final round.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Please come back and we'll start again.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45OK, tricky start for the Bush Whackers here
0:05:45 > 0:05:48but I can tell we've got great quizzers on this side.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50They have lost a brain from the final round.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52The Eggheads are all still intact.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55And the next subject for you is Politics.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So, which is the political Bush Whacker?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00We're going to have to send John, aren't we?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Yeah, I think so.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Are you happy with that, John?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Yeah, I have to be.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07It'll be you, John, then.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10OK, John S, going into the breach against...
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Choose anyone but Judith.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Chris?- Yeah.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Chris.- OK, Chris.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Yeah, yeah, Politics, I'm there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20His eyes suddenly popped open.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So, John S from the Bush Whackers taking on Chris on Politics
0:06:23 > 0:06:27from the Eggheads. Let's see if they can just strike back early here.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Please go to our Question Room now.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33So, John, good luck here.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35And I know you've been a film and TV extra?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Yes, that's correct.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39What are the most fun days you've had?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41A couple of days in Emmerdale.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- They were really good. - Chris, do you fancy this?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Sounds like quite a good sideline.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Well, I used to do a bit of amateur acting
0:06:48 > 0:06:49in my remote and misspent youth.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I could probably carry it off, yeah.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Yeah, I mean, I could see you in a Victorian hat of some kind.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Grinding the faces of the poor.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Yeah! All right, so, Politics is your subject John,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02and would you like to go first or second?
0:07:02 > 0:07:03I'll go first, please.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09And here is your first question, John, good luck.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11The famous dictum of the Prussian general
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Carl von Clausewitz is commonly stated as
0:07:15 > 0:07:19"war is the continuation of politics by" what?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Wow. This is a question that my other John should have had, I think.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I will go with drawing lots.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Ah, well, let's try with other John.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36No, other means.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Yeah, it's a continuation of politics by other means.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43OK, so, potential for Chris to take the lead
0:07:43 > 0:07:45with his first question now.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Bute House is the official residence of which politician, Chris?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Ah.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Now, although Bute is a Scottish island...
0:08:03 > 0:08:08..most of Cardiff Docks were built by the Marquis of Bute.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11So there's a big Bute connection with Cardiff.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14So, Bute House would be the residence
0:08:14 > 0:08:16of the First Minister of Wales.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Wow, you've surprised me with that.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21It's, it's... Eggheads, can you tell him?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Yes, it's Scotland. - It's in Edinburgh.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26It's in Edinburgh, it's the First Minister of Scotland.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Oh.- Sometimes your heads are so full of information
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- it's hard to choose a fact.- Mm, OK.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35All right, so, level after two questions.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Here we go with your second, John, and it is this.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Arthur Thistlewood was responsible for which
0:08:42 > 0:08:44of these antiestablishment schemes?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52OK, I've not heard the name.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56The Gunpowder Plot I would think of somebody else,
0:08:56 > 0:08:57i.e. Guy Fawkes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I'll go with Cato Street Conspiracy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05You are right. And they are even applauding here.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Cato Street Conspiracy.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09OK, Chris, your question.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Who became the Secretary of State for Defence in 2014?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18That's Liam Fox.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Oh Chris, you're all over the place today.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21It's Michael Fallon.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I thought he was leader of the Lib Dems.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Tim Farron, that is.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Ah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29OK, so, let's see the scores.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33You've got a chance here to go into the final with this question, John.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37How many amendments to the US Constitution were ratified
0:09:37 > 0:09:40in the 1791 Bill of Rights?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Right.- Get this right, you're in the final.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I think it's more than three but I wouldn't have thought it was 22,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53so again I'll go for ten. The middle one.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56The correct answer is ten.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57- Well done, John.- Thank you.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Chris misfired. I hope you don't mind me saying, Chris,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04a little bit of misfiring, not maybe your normal level.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Yeah, maybe not.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It's the short-sleeved shirt, Jeremy, they're a jinx.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Yeah, never wear one again.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12You need one of those bold patterns that Barry has.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So, John, you're in the final round. You've taken on an Egghead,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18you've knocked him out. Maybe things are turning now for the Challengers
0:10:18 > 0:10:20as they play for £12,000.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Please rejoin your teams.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25So, as it stands, the Bush Whackers have lost a brain
0:10:25 > 0:10:28from the final round, but the Eggheads have lost one too now.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31And the next subject is Arts & Books.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Who would like this?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Oh, dear.- Who wants it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I don't want it, but I'll go if you want.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Do you mind, Lorraine?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- No, I know nothing about it. - Lorraine...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- It might be Harry Potter. - I doubt it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- OK, you're being volunteered, I can hear.- I am.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Would you like Steve or Pat or Beth?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Beth.- Beth, please. - OK, good stuff.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55So it's going to be Lorraine from the Bush Whackers
0:10:55 > 0:10:57versus Beth, back having a run out again.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59You had a few games where you didn't.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00- Yeah.- Beth from the Eggheads.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03To ensure there is no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Good luck, Lorraine. Did you get slightly pitched into this?
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Yes, just a little bit.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Not my best subject. - I know you love ballroom dancing.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- I do, yes, very much.- Any particular part of it that you really enjoy?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I like tango and waltz the best but I like tango because of
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- the concentration and the steps on that.- Brilliant.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27All right, Lorraine on Arts & Books, do you want to go first or second?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I'll go first, please.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35And here is your first question, Lorraine.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39How much money were the winners of the 2015 Turner Prize awarded?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Wow. That's an awful lot of money, 2.5 million.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I don't really know. It's quite a prestigious prize,
0:11:54 > 0:11:59so I think I'll go down the middle and do 250.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Let's try the Eggheads.- 25,000.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Judith is absolutely certain it is 25,000.
0:12:05 > 0:12:0825,000, the lowest of the three, is the answer.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Beth, your question.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13What is the title of the third book in Philip Pullman's
0:12:13 > 0:12:15His Dark Materials series?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23The answer is The Amber Spyglass.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It is indeed The Amber Spyglass, well done.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28So, Beth is ahead. Lorraine, your question.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33In Roger Hargreaves' Mr Men books, what colour is Mr Strong?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39It's very difficult.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40I was hoping it was one I knew.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I think a strong colour, because I like it myself, is red,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47so I'm going to say he's red.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Red is correct. Well done.- Phew!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Do you remember he's square-shaped?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- He's got that thing, his arms stick out of the side.- Yeah.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Beth, your question.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00What is the English translation of Las Meninas,
0:13:00 > 0:13:05the title of Diego Velazquez's famous painting
0:13:05 > 0:13:09housed in the Museo Del Prado in Madrid?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I'm pretty sure The Ambassadors
0:13:15 > 0:13:18is in the National Gallery in London, so it can't be that.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I'm not sure about The Maids Of Honour,
0:13:21 > 0:13:27but it's unlikely to end in an S if it was females,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29about ladies, so I'm going with The Card Players.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30- No, no, no.- Oh!
0:13:30 > 0:13:34It's a bizarre painting where he's been asked to do a portrait
0:13:34 > 0:13:37of the king and queen of Spain and he's done himself, basically,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40as they will have seen him, because obviously
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Velazquez was such an egomaniac.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44He's also surrounded by all the people that were looking at
0:13:44 > 0:13:47the king and queen, among them the maids of honour, so that's why...
0:13:47 > 0:13:49So you sort of see the rest of the family.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51The Maids Of Honour is the right answer.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54So, scores level. Lorraine, back to you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Gratiano and Lorenzo are characters in which Shakespeare play?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Gratiano is G-R-A-T-I-A-N-O and Lorenzo with a Z.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I'm going to go Merchant of Venice.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14The Merchant of Venice is quite right.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Phew.- Well done.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19OK, Beth, your question.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- This is to stay in.- Mm-hm.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26"Keep your eye clear as the bleb of the icicle,
0:14:26 > 0:14:31"Trust the feel of what nubbed treasure your hands have known"...
0:14:32 > 0:14:36..are the last lines of which Seamus Heaney poem?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I don't know any Seamus Heaney poems.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46These could all be Seamus Heaney poems.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49They probably are all Seamus Heaney poems.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Poetry is not my forte by any means.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Might as well go with my first inkling of a smidge of a...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02..guess of Death Of A Naturalist.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03OK, Death Of A Naturalist.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05If you've got this wrong, you'll be knocked out.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08They are all Seamus Heaney poems.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- The answer is North.- Oh!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13North, and well done, Lorraine. You're in the final round.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14How about that? Arts & Books.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You knocked out an Egghead and you will be in the final round.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Please both of you come back, rejoin your teams.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Well, is this the turning point in the contest?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26The Bush Whackers have lost one brain,
0:15:26 > 0:15:27the Eggheads have now lost two.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30And we have one more subject before the final.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32It's Film & TV.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Who would like this? - It's Keith, then. Keith.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Keith?- I guess that'll be me, yeah.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38A polymer chemist.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40All scientists doing arts subjects!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42This is confusing me.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Against either Pat or Steve.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Steve, it'll have to be Steve.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49We'll go with Steve.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52So, Keith from the Bush Whackers takes on Steve from the Eggheads,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55who's come off a loss in the last episode.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Yes, I'm off the wagon. - So to ensure there's no conferring,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Film & TV. Keith, do you want to go first or second?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06I'll go first, if I may.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14And here is your question. The 2016 Tom Hanks film Inferno
0:16:14 > 0:16:16is based on a book by which author?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Well, I don't think it's Michael Crichton.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I've never heard of Lee Child.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28So I think I'll go for Dan Brown.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Dan Brown is quite right. Well done, Keith.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Steve, in which TV soap was Kylie Platt
0:16:35 > 0:16:37killed by Clayton Hibbs in July, 2016?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Right, what's that taxi number again?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Kylie Platt?- Kylie Platt.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I know there's about 300 Platts in Coronation Street,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52so that has got to be my answer.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Coronation Street is the right answer, Steve, well done.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Lots of Platts. Good logic.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58OK, Keith.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Which character is betrayed by Hermione Norris
0:17:02 > 0:17:05in the TV comedy drama Cold Feet?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Now, unfortunately I've never watched Cold Feet.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14But I'm afraid it'll have to be a guess.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18So I'll go for Jenny.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19It's actually Karen.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I'm sorry. John S, you were an extra in...?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Yes, I've been in Cold Feet.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Would you have been able to answer that?- Easily.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29So, Karen is the answer.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Your question, Egghead.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Which of these classic Westerns was remade in 2016
0:17:34 > 0:17:37with Denzel Washington in the lead role?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Yeah, I saw it recently, Jeremy.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45I thought it was quite a good attempt.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47It's The Magnificent Seven.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51It is The Magnificent Seven, well done. So you're ahead, Steve.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54And that means, Keith, you've got to get this next one right.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Here's your question. At the start of the 2015 TV drama Poldark,
0:17:59 > 0:18:03the title character returns home after fighting in which war?
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Well, fortunately, I have seen Poldark.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15It wasn't World War I. That's much too late.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19It's the American War of Independence.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Well done. It is the American War of Independence.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Brilliant.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27So, level, but Steve has a question in hand, and here it is.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31The TV soap Eldorado lasted for how many episodes?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Will you not just accept "too many"?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I don't think it saw two years out.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Or if it was on, what was it, five times a week?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's a 50-50, and I will say...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I'll try...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52..256.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55It was 50-50 between 256 and 356, was it?
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Yes, are you going to tell me it was 156?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I am going to tell you it's 156. It was three episodes a week.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Right.- And if you multiply 52 by 3 you get 156, I think.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- I thought it was five times a week. - So bad luck, Steve.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09You didn't clinch it there and we go to Sudden Death.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Keith, it gets a bit harder.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I don't give you alternative answers, OK?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Here we go with your question. Sudden Death.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22The 1993 comedy film Cool Runnings tells the story of the creation
0:19:22 > 0:19:25of which country's first Olympic bobsled team?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29That was Jamaica.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Jamaica is correct.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Steve, to stay in.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40In 2013, UK television rights for the 2016 Paralympic Games
0:19:40 > 0:19:42were awarded to which channel?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I think they went to Channel 4.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Channel 4 is the right answer.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Sudden Death, Film & TV, Keith, back to you.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Which actress won an Oscar in 2016 for her role in the film Room?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I'm afraid I've never heard of that film.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02So I'm going to have to make a guess.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Think of somebody who wins a lot of Oscars.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Meryl Streep?
0:20:06 > 0:20:07No, Brie Larson.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11So, Steve, you have a chance to take the round
0:20:11 > 0:20:13with this Sudden Death question.
0:20:13 > 0:20:19Who plays the title role in the 2016 TV historical drama Victoria?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Oh, I did actually watch that.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22It's Jenna Louise Coleman.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Jenna Louise Coleman. Yeah, we'll accept that -
0:20:24 > 0:20:26most people call her Jenna Coleman now.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27But it's the right answer. Well done.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Sudden Death and you've knocked Keith out.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Keith, I'm sorry. You fought hard there.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34You didn't quite make it. So if you come back to us, both of you,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38we will play the all-important final round for £12,000.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44It is time for the final round.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46As always, it's General Knowledge,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48but I'm afraid that those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't
0:20:48 > 0:20:50be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53So, Keith and Ross from the Bush Whackers
0:20:53 > 0:20:55and Chris and Beth from the Eggheads,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00John B, John S and Lorraine
0:21:00 > 0:21:03playing to win £12,000 for the Bush Whackers.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Steve, Pat and Judith, took a bit of a hit this time, didn't we?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10But still here playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17This time they are all General Knowledge.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18You are allowed to confer.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20So, Bush Whackers, the question is -
0:21:20 > 0:21:25can your three very quizzy brains beat these three very quizzy ones?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27And do you want to go first or second?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28We'd like to go first, please.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Here we go, playing for £12,000. Good luck to you.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39On which row of letters does the L button sit
0:21:39 > 0:21:41on a standard QWERTY keyboard?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Middle, isn't it? Middle right-hand side.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51It's not at the top? That's QWERTYUIOP, isn't it?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- So it's the middle? - Definitely the middle, yes.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Yeah, definitely the middle, we think.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Middle is right.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59That is quite a tough question.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01OK, Eggheads.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Istanbul is located in which part of Turkey?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Well, Turkey is mostly like a big rectangle
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- with a little bit of European land. - It's a bit of European.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17And it's in the top left corner.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19That's the north-west, isn't it?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Yeah, north-west.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Definitely not south-east. It's not that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Yeah, we think that's the north-west.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28North-west is the right answer.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30One each, final round.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Big jackpot today.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Sergey Brin...
0:22:34 > 0:22:36..co-founded which of these companies?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Well, it's a Russian name.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Well, it wasn't Facebook, was it?
0:22:44 > 0:22:45No, I don't think, no.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47I'd go with Amazon.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Because I think they're Indian, aren't they, who did Google?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- No, they're not.- No? - What you are thinking?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- I'm thinking it's not Facebook, it's one of those other two.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I'm thinking it was Google.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04OK, go with that, then.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06You think Google, go with Google.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Try that.- OK. - What do you think?- Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Not sure. It's definitely not Facebook. We'll try Google.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Eggheads, do you know?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13- Google.- It's Google.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Google is right.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18OK. Your question, to catch up, Eggheads.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Which of these ancient Egyptian gods was often depicted as having
0:23:22 > 0:23:25a jackal's head on a human body?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Anubis.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Well, Ra had the disc of the sun, didn't he?- Yeah.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- It's Anubis.- Yeah?- Isis was a female character, weren't she?
0:23:37 > 0:23:38And Anubis was the jackal.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- I think so, yes. - Underworld, isn't it? Yeah.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43It's just what sprang to mind before it came up.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45OK, we think that's Anubis.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Anubis is right. I think I heard Judith say it
0:23:47 > 0:23:49before the options even came up.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Yes, that's what sprang to mind.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53So, really good idea to get this one right.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54You're playing great.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Get this right, you may not need to do any more work today.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02What was the name of the female lawyer who was the lead prosecutor
0:24:02 > 0:24:07in the OJ Simpson murder trial in the 1990s?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14- Any idea?- No.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Janet Reno was the Attorney General, wasn't she?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Do you recognise any of the other names there?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26No. Marcia Clark sounded a bit familiar, but...
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Yeah, it sounds more familiar to me, but I don't know.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Maybe we might have heard that little bit more.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- What do you think? - Yeah, I'd go with Marcia.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I don't think it's Janet Reno - she was the Attorney General -
0:24:38 > 0:24:42and we can't decide between the other two.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Marcia Clark sounds a little bit more familiar, so we'll try that.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Marcia Clark is the right answer.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Well done. Three out of three. You're playing well.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54You're quizzers, you really are quizzers.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56£12,000 for you if the Eggheads get this wrong.
0:24:56 > 0:25:04Which French king died in 1498 after hitting his head on a door frame
0:25:04 > 0:25:09while on his way to watch a game of tennis at his chateau in Amboise?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19I have a faint notion it's Charles VIII but...
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Why? Why is that?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Because what I think, once upon a time,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I heard this question or I read the fact,
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- and I think I immediately lapsed into Henry...- Yeah, yeah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31But then I heard it again and it wasn't Henry,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I think it was Charles.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I think that's what we're clinging to, then, really.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I trust your instinct.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39We're not super confident. We're not very confident on this,
0:25:39 > 0:25:43but I have a memory that it was Charles VIII.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44The correct answer is Charles VIII.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Well done, Pat.- Well done!
0:25:46 > 0:25:47So, well done.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49So we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52It couldn't be tenser here. Can you feel the tension?
0:25:52 > 0:25:53- Yeah!- £12,000.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56You're playing really well. Sudden Death now.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Memorial Day is an American holiday
0:26:01 > 0:26:05observed on the last Monday of which month?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Is it the equivalent of...?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- Our Remembrance?- Yeah.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Which day would it be?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15In November, then, would it, Memorial Day?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I thought it was earlier than that, October.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Is it?- I think so.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Memorial sounds like Remembrance Day.- It does.- Yeah.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Could be November, then.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- OK. What do you think? - Yeah, go with that, then.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Well, we're not sure.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34We think it might be either October or November.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36We'll try November.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37OK, November.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Let's see if the Eggheads know.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I think it might be May.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I thought it was later on in the year, but I'm not sure.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Judith's right. It's May.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47What an answer, Judith!
0:26:47 > 0:26:50May. So, you have the initiative now, Eggheads,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53with £12,000 on the table.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56You can snatch it away if you get this right.
