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 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Challengers pit their wits against possibly the greatest
0:00:29 > 0:00:31quiz team in Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads are the Cabbies.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37These Challengers met through volunteering for the
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Citizens Advice Bureau in South Lakeland.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Sue, I'm a retired National Park ranger.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Steve, I'm a Citizens Advice volunteer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Christina, I'm also a Citizens Advice volunteer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Dan, and I'm a local government
0:00:54 > 0:00:56planning and housing manager.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Gareth and I'm a Citizens Advice volunteer.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02So, Sue and team, welcome.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Great to see you. So you've come from Citizens Advice Bureau, Sue?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- That's right, yes.- And Cabbies -
0:01:08 > 0:01:13C-A-B is how we know the Citizens Advice Bureau across the country?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- That's right, yes.- But they're being rebranded, I gather?
0:01:16 > 0:01:21We're dropping the bureau, so we'll just be Citizens Advice in future,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- yes.- OK. But it's great job you do,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27because a lot of people are really in need of just basic advice on debt
0:01:27 > 0:01:28and all kinds of things?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Absolutely, yeah. It's actually a lifeline for a lot of people.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We provide a lot of advice for all sorts of things.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40Employment and debt, benefits, housing and a range of other issues.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Wonderful. And do you find you need a lot of knowledge, general knowledge,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47to do that? You can see where I'm heading here.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Not the same knowledge we need here.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51So someone won't come in and ask a history question, for example?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Possibly not. No!
0:01:54 > 0:01:59But I notice also that you're part of the first all-female team to
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- climb Mount Kenya?- That's right, I was.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Tell me about that.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Well, it was just two of us.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Two women, about 30 years ago now,
0:02:10 > 0:02:11we climbed Mount Kenya.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13We didn't know at the time,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16but we were told afterwards we were the first female team.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19So it was quite an undertaking at the time.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Maybe you'll be the first Citizens Advice Bureau team to beat the
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Eggheads? That would be a wonderful thing.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26I'm sure we will!
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Good. Good luck to you.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Every day, there's £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39So, Cabbies, if the Eggheads are looking a little bit forlorn today,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42it's because the Challengers won the last game.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44They took them apart in the last round.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46And at least it proves it can be done.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48So there's £1,000 to win today.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49- Would you like to try?- Yes.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Certainly would.- I think so!
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Glad you said yes. Your first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Funnily enough.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59You can have either Beth, Chris, Pat, Barry or Lisa.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Should I take that?- You want to take that?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03OK. Hope that politics doesn't come up.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06OK, Gareth, on the end.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Gareth against which Egghead, that's the question?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I'll go for Chris.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13OK, Gareth, from the Cabbies, versus Chris, from the Eggheads.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21OK, good luck. Gareth, you're against Chris on History,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23would you like to go first or second?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24I'll go first, please.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Here we go. In Roman society, what was a stylus?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38A writing implement
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Straight there. You're right, it's a writing implement.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43We weren't trying to trick you there, don't worry.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45OK, Chris, your question.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50The Oxford English Dictionary dates the first use of the word workhouse,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54to mean a public institution where the able-bodied poor worked in
0:03:54 > 0:03:58return for food and lodging, back to which century?
0:04:02 > 0:04:0715th, there was no real system of poor relief at all.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10In the 17th, there were alms-houses, so it's the 19th.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Workhouses, actually, were around in the 17th century, Chris.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Oh.- You've faltered.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Gareth, there's a chance here.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Which of these battles took place during the Crimean War?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Inkerman.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Inkerman is correct.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Right.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Chris, your question, to see if you can get on the scoresheet.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37In Viking culture,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40what name was given to an open-air meeting in which points of law
0:04:40 > 0:04:42were discussed?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Well, the oldest parliament in the world is the Althing in Iceland,
0:04:53 > 0:04:54so it's a thing.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57It is a thing, actually.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I didn't know that's where thing came from.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02From a Viking open-air meeting. Back to you, Gareth.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05If you get this right, you've taken the round, Gareth.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07In quite a succinct manner.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11What was it the name of the conscientious objector who won the
0:05:11 > 0:05:17Congressional Medal of Honour for saving the lives of over 70 of his
0:05:17 > 0:05:19comrades during World War II?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I think it's Audie Murphy.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I'm just trying to think about how you get to this answer.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Audie Murphy is wrong.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Any Eggheads know?- I think it must be Desmond Doss.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Desmond Doss is the right answer there, Gareth.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42So we go to Chris, who has chance now to get back into this.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Which historical figure conquered Cuba for the Spanish and went on to
0:05:46 > 0:05:48become its first colonial governor?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Well, Christopher Columbus
0:05:58 > 0:06:01didn't become anybody's colonial governor.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Balboa was...
0:06:04 > 0:06:07down in Panama, so it's Diego Velazquez de Cuellar.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It is indeed Diego Velazquez de Cuellar.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Chris, well done, you made short work of that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16And you're level after three questions.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19So, Gareth, it gets a little bit harder, we go to Sudden Death, OK?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22And I don't give you options.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25It is often said that in the 13th century,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Pope Gregory IX caused which animals to be persecuted due to
0:06:29 > 0:06:32their supposed links to Satanic rituals?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Was it cats?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Brilliant, it was cats.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Chris, to stay in.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Which historical figure had a mother named Gytha, a father named Godwin,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50and a brother named Tostig?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52That is Harold I.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56You are one Harold out, my friend.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Harold Two.- Harold Two, not Harold One.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Harold Godwinson, or Harold II, is the answer, Chris,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05you've been knocked out. Well done, Challengers.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Gareth, you're through on History, and you will be in today's final.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Chris, you will not be.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Please come back and please rejoin your teams.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Shall we have a little Desmond Doss moment?
0:07:16 > 0:07:21There is a movie, or there was one 2016, called Hacksaw Ridge.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Yep.- And it's about this guy.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26So, yes, he was a conscientious objector,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29but Mr Doss then worked as a medic in World War II,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31and in a battle saved a lot of soldiers' lives.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35As it stands, the Cabbies have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38They have swung at the Eggheads and clobbered out Chris.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40So the Eggheads have lost one.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42The next subject is Sport.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44So, Sue and team, who wants this?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- That's you, Steve.- That's me.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Steve, OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Against anyone but Chris.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Who do you think I should take on?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Lisa?- Barry? Barry, perhaps?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- OK.- Let's go for Barry.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Yeah. Can I take on Barry, please?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01You certainly can. Steve from the Cabbies -
0:08:01 > 0:08:03see if we can get a taxi for Barry?
0:08:03 > 0:08:04LAUGHTER
0:08:04 > 0:08:09To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Steve, you're a cyclist, I gather?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- I am indeed, yes.- On the roads, or for fun on mountains?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Mainly road bikes.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I do a little bit of mountain bike, but these days, more road bikes.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20And are you safe out there?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Fairly safe, yeah. I've got my helmet on.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I think people overestimate the dangers of cycling.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31I think, if you cycle assertively and carefully, then I think you're safe.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yes, good, good advice.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35So would you like to go first second on Sport?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43And here is your question.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47What was the highest world singles ranking the tennis player Tim Henman
0:08:47 > 0:08:48achieved in his career?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54That's difficult.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Obviously, he never won a major tournament.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59But did he ever get up to as much as four?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01It's either four or 14, I think.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think he might have made it up to number four,
0:09:06 > 0:09:07so I'll go for number four.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Four is correct, well done.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12And he didn't win Wimbledon, did he win anything else, Eggheads?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- No grand slams.- No.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18OK, Barry, your question. The Welshman, Jonathan Davies,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20born in 1962,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22typically played rugby union in which position?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Oh, goodness.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I don't think he was a second row.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I seem to remember he was quite a speedy player, so on that basis,
0:09:37 > 0:09:38I'll go for fly-half.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Fly-half is the right answer.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Suddenly wondered if we were in for a little batting collapse here,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Eggheads, with Barry's hesitation.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I think sometimes when you've lost a game, the virus spreads.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54OK, back to you, Steve.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57David Gower made his first-class debut for which county cricket team
0:09:57 > 0:09:59in 1975?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05He certainly played most of his
0:10:05 > 0:10:07cricket, I think, with Leicestershire.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09But did he actually debut with them?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Yeah, I'll say Leicestershire.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yes, Leicestershire's right.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Well done.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Barry, in which year did Desert Orchid win the Cheltenham Gold Cup?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Ah, I was hoping there would only be one year in the '80s there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27I remember Desert Orchid,
0:10:27 > 0:10:31he was the most beautiful grey horse I've ever seen.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33But what year was it?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I'm going to go straight in the middle for 1985.
0:10:38 > 0:10:401985.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Any Eggheads know?- Got to be 1989,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45because that's the only one I would have remembered seeing,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48or been old enough to really watch on telly.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Why is Desert Orchid so special?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54It's not often that greys win very prestigious races.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Right, I see.
0:10:56 > 0:10:571989, Barry.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Ooh, I would never have gone for that one.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01So, you have a chance now, Steve,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03get this right, you're in the final, too.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05The former Swansea,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Wigan and Everton manager Roberto Martinez became the head coach of
0:11:09 > 0:11:11which international team in 2016?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Oh, I really don't know this one.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21So I'm going to have to make a guess at it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I'm just wondering whether it's...
0:11:25 > 0:11:26I'll go for Belgium.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29- Team-mates, do you know?- Belgium.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Yeah, I tell you what, your team-mates love this,
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Belgium is right,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36well done. Three in a row. Sorry, Barry, knocked out.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39That one, the Desert Orchid, has run you off the track there.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42So, Barry will not be in the final, Steve, you will.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45That's two of our Challengers who are in the final already.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Please come back and we'll see what happens next.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50The Cabbies are playing well here.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52They've not lost any brains from the final round.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Well done, Sue. Tactician, it's working.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I don't know what it is, but it's working.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59The Eggheads have had two knocked out.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01The next subject for you is Film & TV.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Who would like this?- I think...
0:12:04 > 0:12:05This was my subject, wasn't it?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's definitely your subject.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10So, who are we going for?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Christina, you can have Pat or Beth or Lisa.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Shall we try Pat? We'll take Pat, please.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Very good. OK. Christina from the Cabbies against Pat from the Eggheads
0:12:20 > 0:12:22on Film & TV. Pat fighting back for his team now.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Please go to our famous Question Room.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29OK, Film & TV, Christina, against the great Pat.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Would you like to go first or second?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Could I go first, please?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Here we go, with your first question.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41In which year was the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous first shown?
0:12:49 > 0:12:55Ooh. I think '82 was perhaps too soon.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I think I'll go with 1992.
0:13:00 > 0:13:031992 is right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Well done. Would be easy to go wrong there.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Pat, your question. In which Disney film does an evil queen say,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13"Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I don't think there is an evil queen in Pinocchio.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24There is one in Sleeping Beauty,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28but I think the one that talks to her mirror is in
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs is the right answer from Pat.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Back to you, Christina.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Which of these is a famous lines is from the sitcom Steptoe And Son?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Oh, that's "You dirty old man".
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It is "You dirty old man",
0:13:51 > 0:13:54you're right. The other ones... "cunning plan" is...?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Christina?- That's...
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Oh. Glad I didn't have to think of this one, because my mind's...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I think that's Blackadder.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04That's Blackadder, yes. And "I don't believe it"?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Oh, it's Victor Meldrew, isn't it?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Yes. Yeah. One Foot In The Grave.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11That's right, that's right. Got it. OK.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Back to you, Pat. Who played the role of a CIA analyst, Maya, in the
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Oscar-winning film, Zero Dark Thirty?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I don't think I've seen this film.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Zero Dark Thirty.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29But who played the CIA person?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Zero Dark Thirty. I think that's...
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Is that Kathryn Bigelow?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36She may have directed it.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40I'm going to be...
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's going to be a fairly dangerous stab in the dark here.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Cos I can imagine... Well, Claire Danes, obviously,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50played the lead in Homeland for years.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Where she is linked with the intelligence services.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Emily Blunt has certainly appeared in quite a few US films.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01But of the three, with some concern,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'm going to go for Jessica Chastain.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yeah, you're right about Claire Danes and Homeland,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10and you're right as well about Kathryn Bigelow directing.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It was about the raid on the Bin Laden complex in Pakistan.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Jessica Chastain is the right answer.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Well done.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20He doesn't get much wrong, Christina, does he?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- No!- Pat in particular, he's very, very good.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24OK, your third question.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Get this right, see if you can go where the others went and knock him out.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33In which TV series did Jack Davenport play the role of a lawyer
0:15:33 > 0:15:35named Miles Stewart?
0:15:42 > 0:15:47Erm... I think I remember him
0:15:47 > 0:15:49in This Life.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50So that will be my answer.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52You're bang on, well done.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54This Life, three out of three.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Pat, under pressure, maybe?
0:15:56 > 0:16:03Who plays the role of Lol in Shane Meadows' This Is England film,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and subsequent TV series?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Dear me.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17There's a lot of films I haven't watched.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22I should have watched this, it's quite celebrated, but no, I haven't.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27I've a very faint voice in my head saying Chanel Cresswell,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29for no reason.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I could easily be wrong.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Samantha Morton does appear in quite a few edgy films.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I'm going to have to go Chanel Cresswell.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42OK. I haven't seen this either,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45but I know the answer through a strange way,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47which is that I watched a programme called Line Of Duty,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49which is a fantastic police drama.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53And there's an actress in that who was amazing.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54And I then looked back at her
0:16:54 > 0:16:56previous career and it included this.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58And the actress was Vicky McClure.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Oh.- So, Vicky McClure, who was in Line Of Duty and was brilliant,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04is also the answer to this question.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Well done, Challengers.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12You are now three of you, at least - well, four - in the final, at least.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Maybe all five of you. Pat, another one goes.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It is... What is it when this batting collapse happens?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21You lose one game and then you're all confused and you lose another.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23My goodness me, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Well done, Christina,
0:17:25 > 0:17:29please return to us and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Well, Sue, I don't know what you're doing with the strategy,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34there's something in the battle plan.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37All the tanks on the table, moving them around with those little poles,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40but it's working. Anyway, just don't give away the secrets.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43The Cabbies have not lost any brains so far from the final round.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45The Eggheads have lost three!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Let's see if we can get one more out.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49The next subject is Geography.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Who would like this?
0:17:51 > 0:17:52That's going to be me.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54OK, team skipper, Sue.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Against which Egghead?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58We've only got, let's see, Beth and Lisa left.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Lisa.- Lisa?- We'll try Lisa.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- Lisa?- Yeah, go for Lisa, please.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Sue, from the Cabbies, versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I know there's a bit of pressure here, Sue, now.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- There certainly is.- Your team-mates have played well,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19but if you can get into the final, that would be amazing,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22because it will be five on one in the final, which we hardly ever see.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25And of course, we've had our moments on Geography, haven't we,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- Lisa, back in the day?- I was going to say,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29who do you think the pressure's on here?!
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Well, look, some questions on Australia have always foxed Lisa, Sue.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Good luck, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:36 > 0:18:37I'll go first, please.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Good luck. Approximately 70% of the land area of Finland is
0:18:46 > 0:18:47covered with what?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Well, I lived in Finland for a while.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57So I know it's not desert.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01However, there are a lot of lakes in Finland,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03and there is a lot of woodland.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05So that's difficult.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I think I'll go for lakes.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18It's a rare moment for your team when you've gone astray on a
0:19:18 > 0:19:1950/50 choice. It's woodland.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Oh!
0:19:21 > 0:19:2470% of Finland is covered in woods.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Lisa, Lyme Bay in southern England
0:19:28 > 0:19:30is part of which larger body of water?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Is Lyme, L-Y-M-E, Jeremy?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Yes, it is.- OK.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42So, Lyme Bay...
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Lyme Regis, that kind of area?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So you're talking the south coast of England.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Which would make it...
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Unless I've got me Bristol and me English Channel mixed up,
0:19:54 > 0:19:55the English Channel.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Yes, it is the English Channel.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59OK, Sue, back to you.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Which of these is an area of West London?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I know nothing about London.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14I'll go down the middle and go for Hackney.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Challengers?- Hounslow, I would...
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- It's Hounslow. - Oh!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I only know that cos I live there.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Ah.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25But they all... It's funny,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28those London boroughs are a little bit amorphous.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30You know, the names are all a bit similar.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33OK, Lisa, if you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38Which city is located near to the confluence of the Ottawa
0:20:38 > 0:20:40and St Lawrence Rivers?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46OK. I...
0:20:48 > 0:20:49..think...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52..I can safely rule out New York.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Erm...
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Not a huge, big, load wiser on the other two.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Confluence is where they meet, isn't it?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Now, Montreal, certainly,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16there's quite a lot of water around it.
0:21:18 > 0:21:25Because the Montreal Grand Prix in Formula 1 is held on an island.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27And you've actually got to walk
0:21:27 > 0:21:29across the water to get to it.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32I feel really bad,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34because I can almost feel the heat
0:21:34 > 0:21:36from the steam coming out of Barry's ears.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38HE LAUGHS
0:21:38 > 0:21:41This would be straightforward for anyone who wasn't me.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I don't know. I think it might be Montreal,
0:21:45 > 0:21:49but that's about the best I can do.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You did that so diffidently. Now, Barry's ears are steaming,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54but are they steaming in the right direction, Barry?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56They're steaming with relief now!
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Apparently the type of steam that's coming out of Barry's ears is shaped
0:21:59 > 0:22:01like relief, because you've got it right.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Montreal is the right answer.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Lisa, you're in the final round.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Maybe you've somehow staunched the flow on the Eggheads' side.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Sorry, Sue, you've been knocked out.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12I thought that would happen.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14But don't worry, you've masterminded the victory so far.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Let's see if your team can actually turn it into a win against the
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Eggheads. Come back to us, please, and we'll play the final.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28It is time for our final which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't been
0:22:30 > 0:22:32able to take part in this round.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35So it's Sue from the Cabbies, but also Barry,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Pat and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Well, we don't often have this situation, do we?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45We've got four Challengers against two Eggheads here.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47We've got Steve, Christina,
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Dan and Gareth now playing to win the Cabbies £1,000.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Lisa and Beth, you're playing to somehow stop what we know can happen,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57which is a run of defeats.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02this time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04You can confer.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06So, Cabbies, the question is,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09are your four brains able to defeat these two?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13We'll go first, Jeremy.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18OK, Dan and Cabbies, good luck.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22In American cuisine, what is a po' boy?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- I think it's a sandwich. - I'm pretty sure it's a sandwich.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Doesn't sound like the other things.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36I'm not sure, but I'm happy to go along with that.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I think somewhere in the past I've heard that.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- OK.- Let's go with sandwich.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42We think it's a sandwich.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Yeah, it would be possible to go wrong on this.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Po' boy, do you Eggheads know?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Yeah.- Yeah. It's a delicacy of Louisiana, I think.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Right. Sandwich is right, well done.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Sue is cheering you on - back there.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59First question for the Eggheads.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01In George Orwell's 1984,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05what is the name of the inner Party member who interviews Winston Smith?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Let's think about this.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Do you think they're all in 1984?
0:24:17 > 0:24:18- I don't know.- No, me neither.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Cos I'm not getting any bells from anything else.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Which is bad.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29So there's nothing we can eliminate immediately?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30- No.- OK.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34I don't know if they're all 1984.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I don't even know if they're all Orwell.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38That's tricky.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'm wondering whether Fosco doesn't sound very Orwellian?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Hmm.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- The other two are a bit closer, maybe.- Yeah.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53At least this is a book I have read.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Mmm-hmm. Yeah, so have I, it's just that long ago.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01My focus on detail is not all that great.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- What would be...?- If I were going to pick one, on me own?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06I'd probably go Quilty.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08That would be my choice as well.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Hmm. Shall we just go on instincts and wade in, then?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Is there any more logic to apply to this?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14- No. None at all.- Let's go.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15OK.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Quilty.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Quilty is your answer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22OK. Do you know the answer?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- What is it?- We think it's O'Brien.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- It's O'Brien.- Fair enough.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29O'Brien is the correct answer.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:25:32 > 0:25:37Oh, Eggheads. So, just don't, whatever happens, lose focus here.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Because they can turn. Here's your question.
0:25:39 > 0:25:46Paul-Henri Spaak served three times as Prime Minister of which country?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And Spaak is S-P-A-A-K.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Pretty sure we can rule out Norway.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00The question is, does the Henri
0:26:00 > 0:26:03lead you towards Belgium?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Yeah, yeah.- It does to me.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Yes, I would say. - It does to me as well.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11The last bit doesn't sound particularly Dutch, does it?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13But he would be more sort of...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- I think...- Yeah, we'll go with Belgium.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17- Yeah.- We'll try Belgium.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19And Belgium is correct.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21ALL EXHALE
0:26:21 > 0:26:22OK. This is good.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25You've got two, they've got none.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31You need to get this right to keep the contest alive.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Get it wrong, they win.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37In which year did the explorer Lawrence Oates die?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I didn't think they went out there until the '20s.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Yeah, me too.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Yeah.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56'17's during the war.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Basically, it's got a two in it.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- Helpful.- No!
0:26:59 > 0:27:03'12, '22, won't be '17, because that's during the war,
0:27:03 > 0:27:04- and they would have been...- Yeah.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I think it's...
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I always associate it with being the '20s.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Yeah.- So...
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Can I make a case for 1912?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Tricky, tricky.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I don't know, my first thought was that it's a date in the '20s,
0:27:23 > 0:27:24so we're probably lucky there's only one.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26That was my first thought as well.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28We did this with Quilty.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Yeah. But you know, when you've nothing else to go on,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- that's what you go on.- Shall we go?
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36At least the misery will be quick.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37It will be, yeah!
0:27:38 > 0:27:42We're hoping the misery's not going to be that quick, but
0:27:42 > 0:27:44we both thought that it...
0:27:44 > 0:27:48well, Lisa thinks it had a two in it, that eliminates the '17.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51But we both thought it was in the '20s, so 1922.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Eggheads at the back, do you know the answer here?
