0:00:04 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:33Taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:33 > 0:00:35are the Wild Things from London.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Now, team captain Viv has hand-picked a team
0:00:38 > 0:00:42of her quizziest friends in a bid to beat the Eggheads.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43So let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hello, I'm Viv and I am a photography technician.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Bernadette and I'm a copywriter and editor.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Debbie and I'm an accountant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Tony.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I'm a volunteer and friendship administrator.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Roger and I am a retired IT manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01So, Viv and team, welcome.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- Great to see you.- Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05You're a quizzer, Viv, is that right, first of all?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Yes, that's correct, yes.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09And tell us about your quizzing history,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11because I know there's quite a lot of it.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17Well, I actually started presenting and compiling quizzes in 1987
0:01:17 > 0:01:21and carried on presenting them right through until the 2000s.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22And you were DJing at the time?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Yeah, I started DJing in 1978.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Under the name...?- Viv Acious.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Viv Acious. Brilliant.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33And presumably, DJing in '78 means you were playing really good music?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Absolutely brilliant music.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38It was at the cusp... As well as, like, rock and alternative stuff
0:01:38 > 0:01:40it was the cusp of, like,
0:01:40 > 0:01:44the joining together of punk, new wave, heavy metal,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- all that sort of stuff.- Wonderful. - It was fantastic.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Well, Dave and I are completely in sync on that.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Yes, we are.- We believe there was a certain period of about three years
0:01:52 > 0:01:53when all the good music was made.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Absolutely.- So you were playing it.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57So how did you choose the team, Viv?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Well, I've known Bernadette and Debbie from the '80s,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04either working together, playing softball,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and Debbie introduced me to Tony and to Roger.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09And should I ask why you're called Wild Things?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Is it to do with Debbie's surname?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Well, partly to do with Debbie's surname, yes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Because she's Debbie Wild. - Debbie Wild, yeah,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18but also we were pretty wild in the '80s and, you know,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21and I think we try to be a bit so these days,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23but not as rampant, I don't think,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- not AS wild.- Listen, you can be wild, you can be rampant,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29you may need to be to overwhelm these Eggheads.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Good luck.- Thank you.- Every day there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37If you fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money stays here
0:02:37 > 0:02:39and rolls over to the next show.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Now, Wild Things, it's a bit exciting, actually, at the moment.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44The Eggheads have won the last 14.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46So they've got this sort of sense that they are unstoppable.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Right.- And you need to derail them.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And if you do, you win £15,000.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Ooh!- So would you like to get cracking?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- We would.- Yes.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Very good. And the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts & Books
0:02:59 > 0:03:02and you can have either Judith or Steve or Kevin, Dave or Lisa.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I'm happy to do Arts & Books
0:03:04 > 0:03:07but sport would be my better choice, but...
0:03:07 > 0:03:09You are good at Arts & Books.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10We'll just have to take a risk on the sport.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13But who are we going to go up against, that's the question.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15So is that Bernadette?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16I'm good for Arts & Books, Jeremy.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I know you're a copywriter and editor,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- so that seems like the obvious choice.- OK.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22So any one of the five, Bernadette.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I think I'd like to go up against Judith, please.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Brilliant. OK.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Bernadette from Wild Things. Judith, one of the wildest Eggheads,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32no question,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I think it's fair to say.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35To ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43So Bernadette, you're a copywriter and editor.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- I am.- So you're guarding the apostrophe, are you?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I'm absolutely guarding the apostrophe.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51You couldn't have made a better comment.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Because there's a worrying misuse of all kinds of things at the moment.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59I regard the apostrophe as being like the last leaf left on the tree.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Um, it's like a wind is blowing through English punctuation,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06and commas and semicolons are being blown away,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08and there's the apostrophe.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Yeah, oh, it's so interesting, this.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13OK, well, you're the perfect person in your team for Arts & Books.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Would you like to go first or second against Judith?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I think I'd like to go first, please.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23And here we go, Bernadette, good luck.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25In the title of a Roald Dahl book,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28what word describes the glass elevator?
0:04:32 > 0:04:38Now, I have to admit, I don't immediately know this.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Great sounds a little bit ordinary.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47Magnificent sounds a little bit pompous. Amazing...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52..kind of goes with it. I'm going to go for the amazing glass elevator.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55OK. Let's just check with your team-mates.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It was the follow-up to Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, this,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- wasn't it, team? - We think it's "amazing", yes.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02You think it's amazing? OK.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Because I had great in my head.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- Eggheads? - Yes, it's the Great Glass Elevator.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- It's the Great Glass Elevator, Bernadette, sorry.- OK.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Judith, over to you.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14The Night Watch was painted by Rembrandt during which century?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21That was, he was 16 something, wasn't he,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23so that's the 17th century.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25It is the 17th century, well done.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Bernadette. Your question.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Which British novelist, who died in 1963,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33wrote a series of books known as
0:05:33 > 0:05:38the Space Trilogy or the Cosmic Trilogy,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41which began with the book Out Of The Silent Planet?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50OK, I know it's definitely not James Joyce.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Kenneth Grahame, of course, is the Wind In The Willows,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I know CS Lewis was very prolific...
0:05:59 > 0:06:03..so I'm going to go for CS Lewis.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05CS Lewis is the right answer.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Holy smoke!- Well done. It's a hard old question, that.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Because of course, he's better known for other stuff, isn't he?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Exactly, yes.- OK, Judith.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16In the Beatrix Potter story the Tale Of Samuel Whiskers,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20two rats attempt to make a cat into what type of pudding?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30My mother used to think it was so frightening,
0:06:30 > 0:06:31she wouldn't read it to me.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Because the noise of the roly-poly pudding being rolled across
0:06:36 > 0:06:39the attic floor, that's Tom Kitten being rolled about by the rats,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41so it's the roly-poly pudding.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Yeah, every detail in place, well done,
0:06:43 > 0:06:44roly-poly pudding is right.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45So back to you, Bernadette.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48You must get this one right to stay in.
0:06:48 > 0:06:54In the Roy Lichtenstein painting Oh, Jeff...I Love You, Too...But...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56What object is the woman portrayed holding?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03The obvious answer would be the gun.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09I think, however, that it's the telephone receiver.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12It is, it's an old-style telephone receiver.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Well done.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Ha ha, a look of relief on your face.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Well done. And it's hard to do home territory as your subject, I know.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22So fear not, you're level with Judith.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Judith, you can take the round with this answer.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29In Walt Whitman's poem I Hear America Singing,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33which worker is described as singing as he makes ready for work
0:07:33 > 0:07:35or leaves off work?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I don't know. I think it might be the mason,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44because America being a young country, doing a lot of building...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I'm just going to bet on the mason.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48The mason. This is tricky.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Eggheads, do you know?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Don't know, no. - They are a bit stumped here.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54The mason is the right answer, Judith.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57You've got three out of three. Sorry, Bernadette,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59she does play a tight game, old Judith.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01And you've been knocked out. You won't be in the final round.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04If you both come back to us, rejoin your teams,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06we will see what happens next.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09So the Wild Things have lost a brain from the final round,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11the Eggheads are still all there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Let's see what you can do now.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Sport is the subject.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- How about that?- Bernadette was our sports person!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Oh, that was you, you were going to do Sport?
0:08:18 > 0:08:19So who would like this?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I can't do Sport.- I can't do it. - You've got no-one on Sport?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- No-one on Sport.- Which of you feels more comfortable, less anxious,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- about doing it?- I feel very anxious about doing Sport.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- OK.- Roger, well done.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I'll do it reluctantly.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Look, Judith has had some...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37You would probably say Sport is not your strongest,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40but you've had some incredibly whizzy victories.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- It's become my strong point! - It has become your strong point.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Oddly enough.- Just through sheer knowing about gymnastics.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Which Egghead would you like? It can't be Judith.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- OK, which Egghead? - I don't really know.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I thought maybe Lisa, but I don't know.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Stephen.- OK.- Steve.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Steve, all right, Steve. Apparently.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58OK. I'm sensing this is quite a big decision for your team.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Roger from the Wild Things is taking on Steve on Sport from the Eggheads.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Shaky today, Steve, or not?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's the first time I've been picked on Sport, so I'm quite excited.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Really?- Yeah.- Ever, in the history of Eggheads?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10- Yeah.- I don't believe it.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Seriously.- So there we are.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13It's worth it, if only for that.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19To ensure there is no conferring, please both of you go to our Question Room, now.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Are you ready for some stats, Steve?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- If you must, Jeremy. - So we've got nine subjects and you've already done
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Food & Drink, History, Arts & Books, Film & TV, Geography, Science,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Politics and Music. So this is... It's now "Eggheads bingo" moment.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- I've got the set, yes. - You've got the set.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36You've done all of them. You've played a total of 30 rounds...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Right.- You've only lost three times.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Right!- Once in Politics and twice in...
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- TV & Film.- That's right.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Just so you know. - Yeah, the scars are still deep!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47He hasn't lost yet on Sport, Roger,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49but that's because he hasn't played Sport.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50So you may have lucked out here.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I'm reckoning this is a brilliant bluff and you're going to suddenly
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- get three correct answers. - You're very kind but, no.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I think I'll go second and delay the agony.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06All right. You know, Steve,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09this is exactly the kind of competitor to beware of.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Totally, yeah. - Here's your question, Steve.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15What colour medal did Jessica Ennis-Hill win
0:10:15 > 0:10:16at the 2016 Olympics?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Yeah. She was very unlucky.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24She fell away just at the end and she ended up with a silver.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Silver is correct.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Don't be put off by his sure-footed play, Roger,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31he's internally in great confusion, I think.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Roger, a duathlon is made up of which two sports?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Good Lord.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I don't think it would be swimming and cycling,
0:10:46 > 0:10:47that sounds a little bit odd.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Really a guess but I'm going to go for swimming and running.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Steve, is this right? - I'm really not sure.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I might have gone running and cycling, myself,
0:10:56 > 0:10:57but I'm really not sure with that.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Yeah, it's not a particularly popular...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Is it an Olympic sport, Eggheads, or not?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- No.- It is running and cycling, Roger.- Damn.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Sorry. Obviously a little bit obscure.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Steve.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13For which club was Dixie Dean playing in the 1927-28 season,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15when he scored
0:11:15 > 0:11:20a record 60 goals in the top division of English football?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Yeah, I think that was...
0:11:25 > 0:11:28He was quite prolific for Everton in his day, Jeremy.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Two out of two, Everton is right.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32No sign of weakness yet.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Roger, keep plugging away.- Hmm.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Which British tennis player reached the women's singles final
0:11:38 > 0:11:44of the French Open on five occasions during the 1960s?
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Well.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53They all sound like possibles.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Christine Truman, to me, is the most famous,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59but I'm going to go for Angela Mortimer.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I don't know why, just a hunch.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03But, Roger, it's Ann Jones.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Oh, well.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Really sorry. Steve is playing particularly well at the moment.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13So 31 rounds on Eggheads and only three losses, Steve, well done,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17you're in the final. Roger, I know it wasn't your strongest subject.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Do return to us and rejoin your teams.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24So the Wild Things have lost two brains from the final round,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29The next subject is Science.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Who wants science?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- That'll be me, I think.- OK, Viv.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Against which Egghead?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Not Steve or Judith, so somebody from the left.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38I think Lisa's a scientist.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- Is she? Oh!- I think, at my peril, I would like to play with Lisa.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46All right. Were you saying Lisa is a scientist, or...?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47I think she is, but I'm not sure.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Let's knock out the scientist.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Are you a scientist? - Not in the slightest!
0:12:52 > 0:12:53LAUGHTER
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I've got that one wrong already!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57That's good, there's no points riding on that!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59So Viv from Wild Things,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02versus Lisa, the non-scientist from the Eggheads,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04please go to our Question Room.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Science, Viv, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16And here's your first question.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Myxomatosis was deliberately introduced to Australia in 1950
0:13:20 > 0:13:24to control the population of which creature?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I do know this one.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34It's definitely not budgerigars, I used to have one called Joey.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Found out it was a girl because it laid an egg.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39And not koala.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I think the correct answer is rabbits.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I'm so glad Joey was spared.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Rabbit is the right answer.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48OK.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Lisa. Which of these is the name given to a mechanical model showing
0:13:53 > 0:13:56the sun and orbiting planets?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Bizarrely, it's probably the most difficult word to say, of the three.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03It's an orrery.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06It is an orrery, and I think I saw one at the Kelvingrove, Lisa.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Have you been there and looked around there?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- I have. It's great.- It's because we are, obviously, filming in Glasgow
0:14:11 > 0:14:13and it's down the road.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Yeah.- There is an orrery, isn't there?- Yeah.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Viv. We're back with you.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Which term is often used to collectively describe
0:14:20 > 0:14:23the giant planets in the solar system?
0:14:29 > 0:14:35Well, the giant planets are Jupiter and Saturn,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38it's definitely not Venusian.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Jovian, I think, relates to a large size...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I think I'm going to go with Jovian.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I like your logic - you're quite right.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Jovian is correct.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52The sort of question Barry would like.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56OK, Lisa, your question. What type of bird is a twite?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58T-W-I-T-E.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Awful lot of finches in the world, so I suppose that's a decent
0:15:03 > 0:15:07percentage guess. Yeah, I've not got a huge amount to go on.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09This is one of those, you've heard it or you haven't, I think.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I'll try hawk.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13THEY GASP
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Oh, the Eggheads have uttered the sound of the twite!
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Eggheads?- Finch.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Finch, how do you know that? Is it just a fact?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23It's like antelope.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I see. Always go finch, Judith says!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Ah.- A very obscure quizzing rule.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- I did say it was a percentage guess. - If in doubt, go finch.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35It has a distinctive twit call from which its name derives.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Yeah, I can hear a little echo of it in my head now!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40There's a little bit of twitting going on here.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41- Little bit.- OK.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43This is good now, Viv.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45You're about to become Acious.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Just get this right. In mathematics,
0:15:48 > 0:15:54the Riemann Hypothesis of 1859 raised important implications for
0:15:54 > 0:15:56the distribution of what?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Could you spell Riemann?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Riemann is
0:16:04 > 0:16:07R-I-E-M-A-N-N. Riemann hypothesis.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Um...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I'm going to go with prime numbers, Jeremy.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Let's see. Eggheads?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Yeah, I think that's right. I think so, yes.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Prime numbers is the right answer, Viv.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20You got three out of three.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21Sorry, Lisa.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I blame the twite fully.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Knocked out by a solitary twite.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29So return to us, and this may start to look a lot better
0:16:29 > 0:16:32for the Challengers. Let's see what happens next.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36So, well done, Viv, that was good.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The Wild Things have now pulled a brain back.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41They've lost two, but the Eggheads have now lost one!
0:16:41 > 0:16:46So game on. And the last subject before the final is Film & TV.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Who would like this? - It's got to be me.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Yeah.- OK, Debbie, OK.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- It's not strong, but...- OK.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- I'll do it.- You're taking on either Dave or Kevin.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Well, I think I'm going to have to go for Tremendous Knowledge Dave!
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Great idea. Film & TV,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Debbie from the Wild Things versus Dave from the Eggheads,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06and for the last time, please go to the Question Room.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Here we go, Debbie. Get this round and then it's equal in the final
0:17:11 > 0:17:13and we are playing for £15,000.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15So you can do it. Just stay focused.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Would you like to go first or second?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Here we go. The BBC TV drama House Of Cards,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27starring Ian Richardson
0:17:27 > 0:17:30as the manipulative Chief Whip Francis Urquhart,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33was first broadcast in which year?
0:17:37 > 0:17:411970's too early because there are lots of references to
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Margaret Thatcher, and her premiership, in it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I think also 1980 because she was
0:17:48 > 0:17:53sort of midway through it, so I'm going to go for 1990.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I'm glad you did. You're right, well done.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Well done, Debbie. Dave, your question.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03What is the name of Ross and Rachel's daughter
0:18:03 > 0:18:05in the TV comedy series Friends?
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Oh.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Don't like it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13I don't think it's Jill.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I think Amy, on balance, is a more American name.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21So I'm going to have to go, put myself out of my misery,
0:18:21 > 0:18:22I'll go Amy. Amy. Please.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24You've gone wrong.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- It's Emma.- Yep.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Debbie. Get this right, then the pressure's on.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32When unadjusted for inflation,
0:18:32 > 0:18:37what is the highest-grossing James Bond film of all time
0:18:37 > 0:18:39at the worldwide box office?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Hmm. Didn't like Quantum Of Solace as much.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Loved Skyfall and equally liked Spectre.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57I'm going to go for, cos I think of the three it was the best, Skyfall.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Skyfall's right. You're playing really well.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So, Dave, you have to get this right to stay in.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Yep.- What is the subtitle of the 2016 sequel
0:19:07 > 0:19:11to the Roland Emmerich blockbuster Independence Day?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Not entirely sure, but I don't think it's Collision Course
0:19:19 > 0:19:22or Winter's War. I'm going to go Resurgence, please.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Resurgence is right.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28He's playing a good game, Debbie, but you've got the advantage still.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Just get this right, you're in the final, and you've levelled it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Here's your question. Take your time.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Which character is played by Tom Burke in the BBC TV series
0:19:38 > 0:19:39The Musketeers?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Right. Well, I'll be totally honest - I don't know,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I never watched this series.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52So...
0:19:52 > 0:19:56I always think that Porthos is often the forgotten Musketeer when people
0:19:56 > 0:20:00are asked to name them, so that's what I'm going for, Porthos.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It's not. It's Athos.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07So a chance for Dave to come back and take it to Sudden Death.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Here's your question. The American Dennis Muren has won multiple Oscars
0:20:12 > 0:20:14in which category, Dave?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Not heard of his name in any category.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24So I'm going to have to go for a guess.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Dennis Muren...
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Right, well, there's no point in me trying to get anything out of it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I'm going to go straight down the middle - visual effects, please.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34OK, Eggheads, is he right?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- No idea.- I think I'd have guessed at that as well.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Do you know this one, Debbie?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41No, but, just to be contrary, I'll go editing.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43OK. No, it is actually visual effects.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45So, after three questions, the scores are level.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47We're going to Sudden Death, Debbie, OK?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Which Oscar-winning actress
0:20:52 > 0:20:58is the mother of Shiloh Nouvel, born in 2006?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02I've got a face in my mind but I can't put a name to it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Oh... Come on, Debbie.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Nope, sorry, I'm going to have to pass.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- I'm really sorry.- OK.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Angelina Jolie.- Oh...
0:21:11 > 0:21:15She won best supporting actress for Girl, Interrupted.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17OK, we go over to you, Dave,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19you can take the round with this on Sudden Death.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Jet, Lightning and Panther were characters in which British TV show,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26first seen in 1992?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Gladiators.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30The correct answer is Gladiators.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32So we say, well done, Dave, you have taken that round.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Sorry, Debbie, you were so close to it there.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37She was in my mind, she was my first thought, Angelina Jolie,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40and then I moved off of it. It's my own silly fault.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Sorry, though. And if you return to us, we will play that final round
0:21:44 > 0:21:46for £15,000.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49And this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52It's time for our final round - as always, General Knowledge.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads are not allowed
0:21:55 > 0:21:57to take part in this round.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01So that's Bernadette, Debbie and Roger from the Wild Things,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04and Lisa from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09OK, Tony and Viv, here we are.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Yeah.- And you can win from this position.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Tony, you said at the beginning you were a friendship administrator?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's a charity for elderly people - elderly, lonely people.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Right.- And we have telephone friends and letter friends who exchange
0:22:20 > 0:22:24letters and have phone calls on a regular schedule during the week.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Oh, how brilliant. So they're able to get a bit of company
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- or just a conversation... - It's just by the phone but, yeah,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30you wouldn't believe how lonely some people are.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Some of the letters and stuff that I read is just...
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Some of it is just really heart-warming,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36but some of it is really heartbreaking as well.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Yeah. And youngsters helping out as well?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Yeah, the range of volunteers on the phones ranges from, like,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45mid-20s to... There's one volunteer who's over 100 -
0:22:45 > 0:22:47had their 100th birthday last Monday.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Oh, how brilliant. Well, what a great thing.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53OK. You're playing to win the Wild Things £15,000.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Dave, Kevin, Steve, Judith,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58you're playing for something that money can't buy, which is
0:22:58 > 0:23:00the Eggheads' reputation, and to continue this stupendous roll.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You may confer. So, Viv and Tony,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12the question is are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14And, Wild Things, do you want to go first or second?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I think we'll go first.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Good luck. Here we go. Your first question.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Tom Croft and Courtney Lawes have represented England at which sport?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I've never heard them mentioned as football or rugby union.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I would go for cricket.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Well, that's a woman. Courtney Lawes is a woman.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Yeah, but there is women's cricket.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Yeah, the same as football, as well.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Yeah, but... Oh, true enough, yeah.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I would say, if it was me, I would say cricket.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- OK.- I think we're going to go for cricket.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Cricket. OK, let me check with Bernadette,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52who I know is the sporting person.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Do you know this, Bernadette?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I absolutely know this. This is rugby union.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59And is Courtney a man or a woman, Bernadette?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02A very tall guy who...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05A very fast back for England.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Rugby union is the answer, as Bernadette says.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Eggheads, your question. In which decade did Gerry Rafferty
0:24:11 > 0:24:14have a UK top-five single with Baker Street?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- 78.- 78.- Wasn't It?- Yup, 1978.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Yeah, yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22- OK? Happy with that?- Yeah.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Yeah. OK.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27We think that was the 1970s, Jeremy.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28It was the 1970s.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Here's your question. Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35the hotel at which John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged
0:24:35 > 0:24:39one of their bed-in for peace sessions,
0:24:39 > 0:24:40is in which city?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I think that's...
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I thought it was in Paris and it...
0:24:48 > 0:24:49- Yeah, I did as well.- So...
0:24:49 > 0:24:51But I think, then,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54John and Yoko, they're more likely to be...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56It wouldn't have been Cape Town, that's for sure.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Yeah, no.- I'd say Montreal.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Yeah.- Are we sure? - I think I'd say Montreal too.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Yeah, we think Montreal.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Montreal is the right answer.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Well done. Back to you, Eggheads.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Which of these phrases appears on the new Bank of England £5 note,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11introduced in 2016?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- It's Winston Churchill. - It's Churchill, isn't it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24So it's got to be the only one of those.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25It's blood and toil.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- OK?- Yeah.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Well, the new £5 note contains a picture of Winston Churchill,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35and the only one of those three phrases that would be associated
0:25:35 > 0:25:38with him would be "blood, toil, tears and sweat".
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Yeah, the logic is good.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42"Blood, toil, tears and sweat" is the answer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45So the £5 note has Winston Churchill's face on it?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- Yeah.- All right.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Two to them, one to you.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52To stay in the contest you must get this one right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57Here is your question. Which post in the Royal household
0:25:57 > 0:26:01did Desmond Shawe-Taylor take over in 2005?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Could you repeat it again, please, Jeremy?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Which post in the Royal household did Desmond Shawe-Taylor take over
0:26:17 > 0:26:21in 2005? Shawe-Taylor is a hyphenated surname.
