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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Feeling intrepid, or stay at home?
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Intrepid.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40OK. Challenging our resident quiz champions today are Flying Five.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Now, this team from Glasgow work together selling holiday packages to
0:00:44 > 0:00:46travel companies. Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Mark, and I'm a travel consultant.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Heather and I'm a reservations consultant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Jon, and I'm an AirPlus consultant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Angela and I'm a worldwide travel consultant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Michael and I'm a tours consultant.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So, Mark and team, welcome.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hello.- Good to see you. I'm guessing you are very intrepid,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07because you do travel all day long.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Agents come on and ask us for holidays.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12We sell exotic holidays - Dubai, Mauritius, Bangkok -
0:01:12 > 0:01:15and we put together the appropriate package for them.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Oh, brilliant. And you must be absolute wizards when it comes to
0:01:18 > 0:01:19booking your own, I'm assuming?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Well, yes, we can see where the cheaper deals are, yeah!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Now, interestingly, Mark,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29you have got every British Rail timetable since 1974.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Yes, it was a passion of mine.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34It used to be a joke when I started in travel
0:01:34 > 0:01:37that I went to bed not with a woman but with a British Rail timetable.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Well, that's your kind of thing, Chris.- Absolutely.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Well, yeah.- Can you see the way Chris has just suddenly bloomed?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Exactly.- A full set would be, sort of,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47a catalogue of slow and sad decline, though, wouldn't it?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Yeah, it would be. - Oh, really, what, pre-Beeching,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51so you've got them before they shut lines down?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54No, I've just got... I really became interested when I was about
0:01:54 > 0:01:56seven or eight, just collecting them.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I've always been fascinated by timetables and memorising them,
0:01:59 > 0:02:00that type of thing.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04OK, well, good luck. I hope you can derail this team here,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08get them stuck at the airport, or whatever it is travel people do.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09- Take them off track.- Yeah, exactly.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Every day, there is £1,000 worth
0:02:11 > 0:02:13of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16If you fail to defeat the Eggheads, we roll the prize money over.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Now, the last few teams have failed, Flying Five.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I can tell you that the Eggheads have triumphed
0:02:21 > 0:02:23in 16 games on the trot,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25and it means there's £17,000 to win.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Would you like to try? - Yes. Absolutely.- Yes.- OK.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The first head-to-head battle is on Politics.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34You can choose between Chris, Dave, Kevin, Barry and Lisa.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Politics.- What do you think?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- What do you think, guys? - Do you want to pick Michael?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39I'm happy to do it, aye.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- You want to do that?- Yeah. - You want to do it, Michael?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43- Yeah, I'll go for it.- Michael?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45OK, our tours consultant.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Which Egghead? Any one of the five, Michael.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I will go for Kevin.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51You're taking out the top man?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- I think so, yeah. - All right, very good.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Michael from Flying Five is going to aim directly at
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Kevin from the Eggheads on Politics.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Please both of you go to our famous Question Room now.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Well, good luck, Michael, against the great Kevin.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I'll go first, please.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14And, Michael, here is your first question.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17After the death of her husband in 1974,
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Isabel Peron took over as president of which South American country?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30It is the home of Diego Maradona, Argentina.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Argentina is the right answer.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34OK, Kevin,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37which of these actresses was made a special envoy
0:03:37 > 0:03:41by the UN High Commissioner for refugees in 2012?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Erm, I...
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I mean, Angelina Jolie has done a lot in that line,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56but I'm not aware of either of the others
0:03:56 > 0:03:59having that sort of role, so I'll have to go with Angelina Jolie.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Angelina Jolie is correct.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Michael, which a American politician made the so-called Checkers speech
0:04:07 > 0:04:12in 1952 when he defended himself against accusations of corruption?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Definitely not Ronald Reagan.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21The obvious answer would be Nixon.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I think I'll go with...
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'll go with JFK, John F Kennedy.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Ah, you just swerved the wrong way. - Ach... Yeah.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Yeah, it's not Ronald Reagan.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Amazingly, Richard Nixon goes right back.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Richard Nixon is the right answer.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Kevin, your question.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41What is the name of the lower house of the Russian parliament?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I believe it's called the State Duma.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Do you know the other two?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51The Althing is Iceland, and the Diet is used in...
0:04:51 > 0:04:56I mean, it's probably best known for Japan, but there are others.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Duma is right in Russia's case.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Back to you, Michael, so you need this one.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03The Haldane Reforms of the early 20th century,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06named after the British Secretary of State who oversaw them,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09led to major changes to what?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I don't think it's health service.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Erm, I think...
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I'll go with education.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25The Haldane Reforms were actually the Army.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Oh.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Michael, we say bad luck, you've been beaten by Kevin,
0:05:30 > 0:05:31beaten by our Egghead,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33and, as a result, you won't be in the final round.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36But don't worry, it's very early days for the Challengers.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Both of you come back and rejoin your teams, and we will play on.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43As it stands, Flying Five have become the Flying Four!
0:05:44 > 0:05:45You have lost a brain.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50The Eggheads are all still there on this roaring form that they're on.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Take a lump out of them, it all may change.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54The next subject is Film & TV.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55So, who would like this one?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Will I go with that one?- Yeah.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58- Angela or Jon?- Angela.- Angela?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02OK, Angela, our worldwide travel consultant, against which Egghead?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Lisa, please. - Very good, very decisive.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08So, if I booked a holiday with you, it would be, like, immediate!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Yes.- "This is where you're going."
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Angela from Flying Five versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Angela, I gather you've taken part in a calendar to
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- raise money for breast cancer? - Yeah, that's right.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23And anything unusual about it?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26It was naked!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28And what sort of response did you get to that?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Erm, really good, really positive. - I bet.- yep.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I bet. And I hope it raised a lot of money.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- It did.- We were going to do a naked Eggheads calendar, Lisa, weren't we?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39And then we realised quite what a money-spinner that wouldn't be.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Yeah.- For Halloween, yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Dave says, "For Halloween."
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Yeah, you won't catch me doing a Demi Moore any time soon.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53OK. Well, anyway, look, Film & TV - would you like go first or second?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Can I go second, please?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Of course you may, and here we go with Lisa's first question.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03What do panellists usually say on the TV programme Dragons' Den
0:07:03 > 0:07:06when they decide not to invest in a proposal?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12On air, at least, they say, "I'm out."
0:07:12 > 0:07:13"I'm out" is right.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Angela, your question.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21"Leisure rules" is a tagline from which film of the 1980s?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27OK, so I actually don't know this one,
0:07:27 > 0:07:32but my instinct is to go with Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It doesn't sound like Predator, does it?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37No.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Ferris Bueller's Day Off is right.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Yay.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Lisa, which comedy writer co-created the sitcoms Father Ted
0:07:45 > 0:07:46and Toast Of London?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53So, the one that works with Graham Linehan, then.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Erm...
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Sam Bain, usually in partnership with Jesse Armstrong...
0:07:59 > 0:08:02John Sullivan, I think, did most of his work on his own.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03But I'm fairly sure I've heard
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews together.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Arthur Matthews.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Arthur Matthews is right.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Well done.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14OK, back to you, Angela.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16In the TV series Game Of Thrones,
0:08:16 > 0:08:21which member of the Lannister family is played by Peter Dinklage?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I've never watched Game Of Thrones.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Erm...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31God, everybody's always talking about it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35This is just going to have to be a complete guess.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Erm...
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Tywin?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Tywin is incorrect, Angela.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41It's Tyrion.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47OK, Lisa, who played Ryan's daughter in the 1970 film of that name?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Oh, I was really hoping that would come back to me
0:08:53 > 0:08:55when the names came up.
0:08:55 > 0:08:571970...
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Ah, who's it ringing the bell for?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Glenda Jackson.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Oh, let's see. Eggheads, do you know?
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Sarah Miles.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Sarah Miles is the answer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Oh, too bad. - They all said it as one.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- OK, Angela, you need to get this one right to stay in.- Yep.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16If you get it right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20All Is Lost, Truth, and A Walk In The Woods,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23are films starting which actor?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Robert Redford.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Robert Redford is the right answer!
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Well done, you. So, two each, scores level.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39We go to Sudden Death, and, just to make it that bit harder,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41these questions are not multiple-choice,
0:09:41 > 0:09:42and we start with you, Lisa.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47Who played a 1950s Hollywood actor called Baird Whitlock,
0:09:47 > 0:09:54the star of a Roman epic in the Coen Brothers' 2016 film "Hail, Caesar!"?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56All sorts of people were in it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Is it Clooney?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Ooh.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04No, for want of being able to think about this...
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Come on. See the poster.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08I can still only see George Clooney!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Well, George, you're going to have a lot to answer for
0:10:14 > 0:10:15if you're not the answer. George Clooney.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17George Clooney is correct.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19LISA EXHALES
0:10:19 > 0:10:21OK. A bit of pressure now, Angela.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Get this right to stay in.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29Which Oscar-winning actress played the title role in the 2016 film
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Florence Foster Jenkins?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I have no idea.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Erm...
0:10:37 > 0:10:42I'm...I'm just going to hazard a guess here and say Gwyneth Paltrow.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43No. Any of your colleagues know?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Meryl Streep.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Meryl Streep is the answer, Mark says,
0:10:46 > 0:10:47and, yes, that is the answer.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50So, sorry, Angela, you've been knocked out there by Lisa.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Lisa, you're in the final round.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Angela, you're not.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57And we're looking for a turnaround moment now from the Challengers.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Please rejoin your teams and we'll see what the next round brings.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05So, as it stands, Flying Five have lost two brains
0:11:05 > 0:11:06from the final round.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07The Eggheads have not lost any.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10And let's see what you can do now on Food & Drink.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Now, Mark, who wants this?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Mmm...- I'll do Food & Drink. I'll give it a go, yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- We'll give it to Heather. - OK, Heather, good stuff.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21The reservations consultant, against which Egghead?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Against Dave, please.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Very good. So, Heather from Flying Five against Dave from the Eggheads,
0:11:28 > 0:11:29with a bit of flying food!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Could be.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Some bread rolls thrown through the air.- Absolutely.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36To ensure there's no conferring, go to our Question Room, please.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Heather, Food & Drink, would you like to go first or second?
0:11:42 > 0:11:43I'll go first, please.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Good luck, Heather, here we go.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51What symbol was launched by the UK food industry
0:11:51 > 0:11:55in the year 2000 to reassure shoppers about the quality of
0:11:55 > 0:11:56the food they were purchasing?
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Squirrel sounds tempting,
0:12:02 > 0:12:07but I think because of the farming it's got to be red tractor.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Yes, it is red tractor. Well done.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Dave, your question.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Basmati is a variety of which foodstuff?
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Rice.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Rice is right.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23You're making quick work of this, you two.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Heather, in Japanese cuisine,
0:12:25 > 0:12:30what name is usually given to a single portion meal served in a box?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Sashimi is like sushi.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Kimchi I've never heard of before.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42But bento sounds like something quite quick and easy,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44so I'm going to go bento.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Let's check with our Japanese man, Barry, who's been to every answer.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49It is a Bento box, absolutely right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Have you ever eaten a bento in Japan?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I have indeed. I've eaten them all.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55But I didn't like kimchi - it's Korean cabbage.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Oh, is it?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59It's quite strongly flavoured with vinegar.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Heather, bento is the right answer. Well done.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Dave, your question.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Which of these is a main ingredient in the Greek pastry Spanakopita?
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Can you spell it for me, please?
0:13:13 > 0:13:18All one word - capital S, P-A-N-A-K-O-P-I-T-A,
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Spanakopita.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I'm not entirely sure on this.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Erm...
0:13:25 > 0:13:29My mate at the Red Lion, Fish Man, who runs a chip shop in Stockport,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32he would know if it was sardines, and I don't think it's that.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Erm...
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Minced lamb, no.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I'm going to go for spinach.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Your mate in the chip shop in... What was that?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42My mate in the chip shop, we call him Fish Man.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Yeah.- So, erm, he...
0:13:45 > 0:13:47He'd know about sardines and fish,
0:13:47 > 0:13:52and he's never mentioned anything about a pastry made of fish, so...
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I love that, the way of eliminating it -
0:13:54 > 0:13:57because your friend hasn't mentioned spanakopita,
0:13:57 > 0:13:58it can't be that answer!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Well, you are right anyway, it is spinach,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- so you can rest easy there. - Yeah. Thank you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Sounds like they're clutching at straws here, Heather.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Get this right, and let's see if this could be the turning point.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14The town of Bundaberg in Queensland, Australia,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17became well-known for producing which type of spirit?
0:14:20 > 0:14:21This is a hard one. Erm...
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Bundaberg is B-U-N-D-A-B-E-R-G.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26OK.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31I can't imagine it being tequila, cos that's really South America.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Australia?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I'm going to go for rum.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Is she right, Dave?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Yes.- Is it... They call it Bundaberg Rum, Dave?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Yeah. They do, yep. - They do, yeah, so you're right.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Well done, Heather, three out of three, nicely done.- Thank you.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45And rapid-fire as well.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- OK, Dave, back to you.- Yep.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You need this to stay in.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56Fartons are a type of baked product associated with the cuisine
0:14:56 > 0:14:57of which country?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00It sounds lovely. F-A-R-T-O-N-S.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Fish Man can't help me here.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Erm...
0:15:06 > 0:15:11It doesn't sound particularly Spanish or Finnish.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I'm going to have to go...
0:15:13 > 0:15:15with the instinct of Vietnam.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Oh...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Let's see. Well, you travel industry people,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24you've presumably had fartons before, have you?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25- No.- No.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27You've never suffered from that?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Never suffered from it, no.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Spain is the right answer, Dave.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Never heard of it.- Well done.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Hey, you're on your way, Heather.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37You're in the final round, that's great.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39That's a really good moment to win as well.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42You've taken on an Egghead. You've just rattled them a bit here.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45What will this lead to? Please come back to us,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53OK, so, Dave, there, knocked out by a large farton.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Any Eggheads who want to have a guess at what they actually are,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- the Spanish food?- I've...
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I've heard of them in relation to Spain,
0:15:59 > 0:16:00but I can't remember what they are.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Is it something to do with bread or pastry?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Yeah, they're a sort of confectionery, sweet, rather spongy,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09and they're glazed with sugar,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11and you dip them in a drink called orxata.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Oh, yeah, yeah, orxata. - Yes.- Yeah, yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17And in the '90s, there was a spin-off called the Flaky Farto.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18- OK.- Right.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21If this is the moment you get on the route to £17,000,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23this will be memorable to say the least.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:16:26 > 0:16:29You can all have a huge banquet of fartons later.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31As it stands, Flying Five have lost two brains from the final round.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34The Eggheads have just lost the one, but is this a turning point?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Let's see. The next subject for you is Sport.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Who would like Sport?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- If could be you, Mark. - Yeah. I think it'll have to be me.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44OK, Mark, our travel consultant and team captain,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46against either Barry or Chris.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I think I'm going to have to go for Chris.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53So, Mark from Flying Five plays Chris from the Eggheads on Sport,
0:16:53 > 0:16:54and just for the last time,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56gentlemen, please go to the Question Room.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Mark, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I'm going to choose to go first, if you don't mind, please.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Not at all, Mark, and here we go.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12In which year did Princess Anne compete at the Olympic Games?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21OK. Princess Anne was into three-day eventing equestrianism.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I don't think it was 1964 cos that was Tokyo.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I don't think it was '68 because it was Mexico.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'm relatively confident it was 1976.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Yeah, do you remember where that was?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36The 1976 Games were in Montreal, Canada.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Absolutely right. '76 it was.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Chris... I'm sensing you're up against a good player here, Chris.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44According to ITF rules,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48exactly how many feet high should the centre of the net be
0:17:48 > 0:17:50on a tennis court?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56That... Four...
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Three feet, Jeremy.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Three feet is right, well done.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01That looks quite high, cos it's going up to your shoulders.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Well, I'm sitting down!
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Oh, I see. I hadn't realised.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I thought you were standing up in there.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- OK.- Have you ever been round here? - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I try not to.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14OK, Mark,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18in Australia, the Brisbane Heat is a team in which Sport?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24OK, Brisbane Heat, right.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29I have a... I definitely don't think it's ice hockey.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32There's something telling me, at the back of my mind,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34that they're a cricket side.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Yeah, I'm going to plump with my original thought and go for cricket.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41You're right, it is cricket.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Good stuff. Back to you, Chris.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Belmont Park, host of the Belmont Stakes Horse Race,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51is located in which country?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Belmont Park?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Well, it's not Ireland.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Erm....
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I don't think it's Australia either,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I think it's one of the tracks in the USA.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Yes, it is USA.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- He's playing well, isn't he, Mark? - Yeah, he is, very well.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Keep the focus. Here's your question.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16In the 1960s and '70s, the British sportsman Rodney Pattisson was
0:19:16 > 0:19:19a multiple Olympic medallist in which sport?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Again, let's do it by the power of elimination here.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25I don't know he was a sailor.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28I...
0:19:28 > 0:19:31My mind, sort of, ebbed towards archery.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36So, I'm not 100% sure, but I will go with archery.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37It's actually sailing.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Oh.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41So, you've got a chance, Chris, to take the round here.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44In golf's Open Championship,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47what does the highest-finishing amateur receive
0:19:47 > 0:19:49at the end of the tournament?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Highest amateur.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Well, if he was highest,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I think he'd be insulted by a bronze medallion.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I think the winner would get a gold plate, so I'll say a silver medal.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Is he right, Eggheads?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Yeah.- Yes, it is. - You're right with silver medal.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Sorry, Mark, he's just nicked it there at the end on Sport,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14and will be in the final,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16and the team captain of our Challengers has been knocked out.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19What does that mean in the final round, playing for £17,000?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Come back to us, and we'll find out.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26It is time for our final round
0:20:26 > 0:20:28which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31but, I'm afraid, those of you lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:20:31 > 0:20:33to take part in this round.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35So, that's Mark, Angela and Michael from the Flying Five,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37but also Dave from the Eggheads -
0:20:37 > 0:20:39would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Well, the Flying Five are now the Flying Two,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47but you are playing, Heather and Jon, for £17,000.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Lisa, Barry, Kevin, Chris,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:20:51 > 0:20:52the Eggheads' reputation,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55and, at the moment, it is pretty golden, I have to say,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57but is this the end of the run?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03They're all General Knowledge, and you two can confer.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05So, Flying Five, the question is,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09can your brains defeat these ones over here?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11And, Heather and Jon, do you want to go first or second?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12First, please.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17OK. Good luck to you both.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Here we go, playing for £17,000.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22In the United States,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26what fictitious name is often given to an unknown person,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29particularly an unidentified body?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- I know John Doe is used for that kind of phrasing, as well.- Uh-huh?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39John Bull, I've definitely never heard of.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- What about the first one? - No, it's John Doe.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Definitely?- Uh-huh. Yeah.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK. OK.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46John Doe.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48John Doe is absolutely right, well done.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52In North America,
0:21:52 > 0:21:57what name is given to the tradition of welcoming alumni
0:21:57 > 0:21:59back to their former schools?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Prom's the high-school dance, isn't it, at the end of the school year?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Confirmation is reciting the creed in front of your bishop.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Confirmation is a religious ceremony,
0:22:10 > 0:22:11so it's got to be homecoming.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13It's the only logical one.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Are we happy with homecoming?
0:22:14 > 0:22:15I think it really fits.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18OK, Jeremy, well, prom is a dance at the end of the school year,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20and confirmation is a religious ceremony,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23so the only one that fits, as Lisa pointed out, is homecoming.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Homecoming is the right answer, well done.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29OK, back to you, Jon and Heather.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32In the TV sitcom Frasier,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36what is the name of Frasier and Lilith's son?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- You watch this. - Yeah, I watch it all the time...
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- So...- ..so I know that Niles is the brother...
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Yes.- ..Martin's the dad, and Frederick's the son.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Is Martin definitely the...?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Uh-huh. He's the old man...
0:22:51 > 0:22:52And a dog called Eddie.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55OK, here, you definitely know. Yeah.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Frederick. Eh, Frederick.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58You're right, well done.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Frederick is right.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04You're playing in a very sure-footed way, which is excellent.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Eggheads...
0:23:05 > 0:23:10on a standard dartboard, what number is directly opposite 11?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Oh, gosh. I've been meaning for years to learn this one.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19You used to play darts, didn't you?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Yeah, I...
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Not for a long time, but, yeah, it's not 18.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- If you're looking at it like a clock face...- Mm-hmm.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30..11 is the equivalent of nine o'clock, halfway up the left side.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Oh, yes, it is, yes.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Um, now 18...
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- It's further round than that. - ..is only two across from 20.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38- It's up near the top.- North-east.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42And 12 is also one of those top angles, I'm sure.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43I'm pretty sure it's six.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Well, after having had a lengthy explanation of the dartboard from
0:23:47 > 0:23:50our esteemed darts correspondent, we're going to go for six.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Dave would know this. Dave?
0:23:53 > 0:23:54I'd go six.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Six is the right answer.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00You're running them close.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Get this one right and you may not have to do any more work today.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Plantar fasciitis is a medical condition that affects
0:24:08 > 0:24:09which part of the body?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Plantar is P-L-A-N-T-A-R,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16and then fasciitis is F-A-S-C-I-I-T-I-S.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Plantar makes me think it's definitely, like, joints and things,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- but I'm more swayed towards heel. - Mm-hmm.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27That's what I was thinking, yeah.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Like, plantar fasciitis, it's difficulty walking, isn't it?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32That's what I was thinking when I saw that as well.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Shall we say heel?- OK.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Definitely?
0:24:37 > 0:24:38- Let's go for it.- OK.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Is it the heel?
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Heel is your answer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45I've got a friend who has had this, and it made it very difficult
0:24:45 > 0:24:46for her to walk.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Heel is right.- Yes.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Three out of three in the final round.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Well done. Playing for £17,000.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Eggheads, you need to get this question right.
0:24:55 > 0:25:01In which year was the Queen's Christmas speech first televised
0:25:01 > 0:25:04and broadcast to the nation?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I'm sure it's not as late as '67 or '77.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Let's go for 1957.- She came to the throne in 1952.- '52, yeah.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22So, five years after, would that seem a reasonable time?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24It would seem reasonable to me.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Well... - It surely can't be as late as '67.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Yeah. I mean, I don't know, I have no idea, actually,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30but, on balance, I would say '57.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Yeah, black and white,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- 405 lines, yeah.- Are we all agreed?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I'll have to defer to the old men on this one.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Yeah.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Yeah, we don't know,
0:25:38 > 0:25:39so it's guessing.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41OK, well, we're not 100% certain
0:25:41 > 0:25:44but the other two years just seem too late for us,
0:25:44 > 0:25:45so we're going 1957.
0:25:45 > 0:25:481957 is your answer.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51If you've got this wrong, they've won £17,000.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53If you've got it right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- But we say well done, Eggheads, you are right.- Brilliant.
0:25:55 > 0:25:561957 is correct,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59so, soon after she came to the throne.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Whoo! I'm feeling the tension here.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05But you've played so well. We've done our multiple choice questions.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07We go to Sudden Death now because it's level.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10It gets a little bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13So, Jon and Heather, here's your first.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18In which US state is the city of Flint which made national and
0:26:18 > 0:26:24international news due to a water crisis that began in 2014?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27It sounds like something, sort of...
0:26:27 > 0:26:28So, like, Yellowstone.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Uh-huh, in the...
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Somewhere in that central, like...
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Nevada.- I know California didn't have any issues with water.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38It's definitely not Colorado,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- so something out from that.- No.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41It would be on the West Coast,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- cos that's the hottest. - Do you think it's West Coast?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Uh-huh, cos that's the hottest area.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I think it's California.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49If I was picking another one,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51it'd just be picking it for the sake of changing it,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53so if you think California...
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Let's go with California. - We'll try California.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58We'll say California.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59California is your answer.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03It is Flint, Michigan.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06The water crisis that began in 2014.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10It's not over. If the Eggheads get this right, though, it will be.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Sudden Death we're on.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Eggheads, your question, to take the contest.
0:27:14 > 0:27:19The notorious Calton Jail, which was demolished in the 1930s,
0:27:19 > 0:27:20was in which Scottish city?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Calton Hill? - Well, Calton Hill's in Edinburgh.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Yeah.- OK.- It was actually on Calton Hill, yeah, yeah.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Well, being born in Edinburgh,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I know that Calton Hill is on...in Edinburgh,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37so Calton Jail is in Edinburgh.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39If you're right, the contest is over.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Very closely-fought final round,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43but Edinburgh is the right answer.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- Oh, you were so persistent there. - I know.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57So, listen, commiserations, Flying Five.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01You played great. I need to ask, Mark, did you know Flint, Michigan?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- I bet you did. - No, I didn't, unfortunately.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05OK, so, we don't have to say if Mark hadn't been knocked out,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- he would have known.- Yeah. - That's a relief.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10If it's any consolation,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13they're having one hell of a winning streak at the moment.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16So, it does mean you're not going home with the £17,000.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18We will keep the money, and we'll roll it over to our next show.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Eggheads, again, I say, well done,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23not just in winning but in only losing one along the way.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Really impressive, isn't it?
0:28:25 > 0:28:26And it's got to be stopped.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Let's see if a new team of Challengers can do it next time.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32They'll win £18,000 if they do.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Until then, goodbye.
