0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Still the greatest, Eggs?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Oh, dear.- Oh...
0:00:36 > 0:00:37A little bit quiet today.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39We'll find out why in a second.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:41 > 0:00:45are the Torfaen Qigongers is from south-east Wales.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Now, this group of friends all attend Qigong classes
0:00:48 > 0:00:51taught by team member Sue. Let's meet them.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Carole, and I'm a retired secretary.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Beth, and I'm a retired ICT lecturer.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Sue,
0:00:58 > 0:01:03and I'm a mindfulness T'ai Chi Chuan and Qigong instructor.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Ann, and I'm a retired French teacher.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Glenys, and I'm a retired dietician.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12So, Carole and team, hello.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Hello.- Lovely to see you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And I must ask about Qigong.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- What is it?- Shall I take over?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'll pass you over to Sue, she's our teacher.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- OK.- A very experienced teacher.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Qigong, it's Chinese medical Qigong we do,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28which is used in hospitals in China for all sorts of different
0:01:28 > 0:01:32medical conditions, and, basically, it's energy work.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36It's just learning how to relax, to be a little bit calmer,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38so your breathing, digestion, bone density...
0:01:38 > 0:01:39You're a bit more balanced.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43It just helps you to be more settled and calmer in life.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And perfect, Carole, for when you take on the Eggheads!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Yes, I've been using it a lot, the last few days!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51What do we do, we centre now, do we?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Yes.- OK.- We need more practice!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I'm just thinking, Eggheads, you need a bit of Qigong.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Absolutely.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00They've had some awkward moments in recent games.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Good luck. Every day there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:04 > 0:02:05for our Challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money then rolls over.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Now, Torfaen Qigongers, what happened was,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15the Eggheads lost one, they tried to recover,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19they didn't use Qigong at all, and they then lost another,
0:02:19 > 0:02:20so take advantage here.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Do you want to try?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- ALL:- Yes! - £1,000 for you if you win today.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Great.- The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Food & Drink,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32and you can choose between Beth, Chris, Pat, Steve, and Barry.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- It's all a done deal! - Right, I think that'll be Glenys.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- That'll be me, yes.- I think so.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39And who do you want to Qigong, Glenys?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- What do you think, Carole? - I think...
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- I think Chris.- Yes, OK.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45It will be Chris, then.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Glenys from the Torfaen Qigongers versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52To ensure there's no conferring, to play your Food & Drink round,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56would you please go to our legendary Question Room?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Have you ever tried Qigong, Chris?
0:02:58 > 0:02:59No, no, no, no.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Not a moment to just centre and hold out your hands and...?
0:03:02 > 0:03:03No, I can do that anyway.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- I can just switch off. - You have your own system?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Yeah.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I take myself off to my own little planet.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Sounds like he's got a version of it going on his own bat, Glenys, there.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Yes, yes, well,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I think Chris' version is a little bit different from ours.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22LAUGHTER
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Right, Glenys, so you're on Food & Drink,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and would you like to go first or second?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Here's your question. Good luck.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37Demerara sugar is named after a region in which country?
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Well, since I do a fair amount of cooking and use Demerara sugar,
0:03:46 > 0:03:51sometimes, although, you know, that's for treats...
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Guyana, I really wouldn't, erm...
0:03:55 > 0:03:56find...look for it there.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Cuba, one could get, like, erm...
0:04:00 > 0:04:04cubes of sugar perhaps, but, no, it's Jamaica.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Jamaica is your answer.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Let's check with your challenging contestants. What do you think?
0:04:09 > 0:04:10- Yes!- Yes.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Do you know what? It's wrong.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- It is Guyana.- Oh, no.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Really?- I would have struggled with this one.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Eggs, can you help us here?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Got any Guyana connection here?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25It's just a major river in Guyana, the Demerara River.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26It's a major river.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I presume that gives its name to the sugar-growing area.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Did you know? You knew this, Pat?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31- The sugar, yes.- Yeah?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34OK, Chris,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36you've got a chance to take the lead now.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38What type of food is a Cornish fairing?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's not a potato...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47and a herring's a herring, so it's a biscuit.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49What was the middle? That the herring is a herring?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52The herring is a herring, yeah.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Meaning you're ruling out fish because herrings exist?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Mm-hmm.- OK, I'm just following your logic, Chris, that's all.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58- Biscuit is right.- Mm-hmm.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Always fascinated with the way that train-shaped brain of yours works.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03It's a ginger biscuit. OK.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07So, Glenys, let's get you on the scoresheet here
0:05:07 > 0:05:08with your second question.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11What type of French dish is a daube?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12D-A-U-B-E.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Well, ahem, I'm not altogether sure that in France
0:05:21 > 0:05:22you get a mixed grill.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Salad, oh, I think not.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I think it's a casserole.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Casserole is your answer.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Let's check with Ann, cos you're a retired French teacher.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Yes, it's a casserole.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Ann confirms it is a casserole.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41So, equal,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and Chris has a chance to go ahead.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46What is the main ingredient of the dessert
0:05:46 > 0:05:49known as Spanische Windtorte?
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Spanish wind tart!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Erm...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Well, I'm sure it's an apple pie.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Apples.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Let's see, Eggheads. Is he right? Is it apples?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Well, I would have thought it's possibly meringue from the wind
0:06:06 > 0:06:07and being whipped.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Oh, I see. Yeah, good thought.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Yeah, Beth says meringue cos of the wind and the whipping.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Oh. OK.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Yeah, anyway, meringue is the answer.- Mm-hmm.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18How's this?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Look, you're back in it, Glenys. This is good.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24For some reason, Chris's own personal Qigong has failed him.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26So, here is your question.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31In which region of Spain did the dish called paella originate?
0:06:35 > 0:06:40Well, I'm going to have to go for...
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Galicia.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I'm sorry, it's wrong. It's Valencia.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Oh.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I'm so sorry.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48But you're not out yet because Chris has to get his third
0:06:48 > 0:06:50question right to be in the final.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Chris, the Grand Cru vineyard called La Tache
0:06:53 > 0:06:59produces highly sought-after wines in which French wine region?
0:07:02 > 0:07:03I'm not a wine drinker at all.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Ah, where do the best wines come from?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Erm...
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Bordeaux.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Ann, do you know?- I don't.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I'm a Burgundy girl.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Well, Burgundy would have got you the point in this.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- Would it?- Yes, it is Burgundy.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Yeah. Chris, you're wrong, so we go to Sudden Death now, Glenys.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I don't give you options - it's a bit harder.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Glenys, your question.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Of the three main grape varieties officially used to make champagne,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33which is the only white grape?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Champagne, or something like that?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39I really don't know.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- It's Chardonnay.- Oh.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44OK, so, Chris, your chance to get into the final with this question.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Lambic is a type of beer particularly associated with
0:07:48 > 0:07:50which European country?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51- Let me spell it, Chris.- Yeah.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54L-A-M-B-I-C.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Ah, that's Belgian.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Belgium.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Yeah, we think the name is derived from Lembeek,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01a town near Brussels, so Belgium is right.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Chris, you're in the final. Well done.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04I'm sorry, Glenys,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07knocked out on Food & Drink by our rather brilliant Egghead,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and as a result you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12But if you come back to us, it's early days, we'll play on.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18So, a little wobbly start for the Torfaen Qigongers.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20You've lost one brain from the final round,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23but don't fear, because there's plenty of time yet.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26The Eggheads are still sitting there gathering themselves.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27You can see it happening, can't you?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Getting ready for their next role.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31The next subject is Film & TV.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Who would like this? SIGHING
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh, dear, I heard a sigh!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36- I'm not keen.- A big sigh.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- No.- I can't do that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39I'm not keen.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Shall I do it? I mean, I'm the nearest to it.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Yeah.- Do you mind?- Absolutely. Yeah, OK.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Sue, the nearest to it. - I'll have a go!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48That's good. So, who would you like?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50You've got anyone but Chris there, you can take on.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- I'll leave it to Carole to make the choice.- Erm...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Carole's been studying the form. - Want to try Beth?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- Beth would be lovely. - OK.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01All righty. So, it's going to be Sue from the Torfaen Qigongers
0:09:01 > 0:09:04versus one of our newest Eggheads, Beth, on Film & TV.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Please go to our Question Room now.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Well, Beth, I was wondering, as we've got our Qigong teacher here,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14we could ask for a little, a tiny little lesson,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16so is there any kind of posture you would take,
0:09:16 > 0:09:17if you were doing it sat down?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Erm, basically, know where your bottom is on the chair.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Know where your bottom is?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Yes, just to sit on the chair as opposed to being up there.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Oh, I see. And anything with the hands or the arms? You...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Just relax them.- Right.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's about finding ease, you know,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36particularly in challenging situations.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37How about that, Beth?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Well, this is a pretty challenging situation,
0:09:39 > 0:09:40but I know where I'm sat.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- LAUGHTER - Absolutely.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Do you do any version of this yourself, Beth?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I do... I do a little bit.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I've taken to colouring, which is a big...
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Adult colouring books are a big thing and I've got a few of those.
0:09:53 > 0:09:59I just sit and colour in, and it takes your mind off of other things
0:09:59 > 0:10:00that are going on,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03cos you're concentrating on keeping in the lines,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05changing the colour and all that sort of thing.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Yeah, it's a busy old world, Sue, isn't it?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09It's a task-based world, I guess,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12that's where you get your custom from.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Yes. I don't know, really.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17I think it's people who often have things that have happened
0:10:17 > 0:10:21in their life or are just interested in living more joyfully.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24OK, well, good luck living joyfully in this round -
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Film & TV against Beth.- Yes.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Sue, you can choose, first of all, whether you want to go first
0:10:29 > 0:10:31or let Beth go first.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32I think I'll go first.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38All right, first question to you, then.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41What is the name of the character played by Robert Llewellyn
0:10:41 > 0:10:44in the TV comedy series Red Dwarf?
0:10:47 > 0:10:52I've never even heard of the TV series, let alone seen it,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55so this is going to be an absolute guess.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58I'm going to go for Godfrey.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Now, I'm wondering if these are all real people,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02so, Melchett, is that Blackadder?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04That's Stephen Fry in Blackadder, yeah.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And, Eggheads, where's Godfrey? Who's Godfrey?
0:11:06 > 0:11:07- Dad's Army.- Dad's Army!- Right.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Dad's Army, Godfrey.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Kryten is the answer, Sue.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Right, well, I've learnt something.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15OK, Beth,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18who played John Merrick in the 1980 film The Elephant Man?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Not actually a film... To my shame, it's not actually a film I've seen.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Erm...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29But I'm hoping that's John Hurt.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32It is John Hurt. It's a very, very powerful film.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I recommend it. It's all black and white, really close up on him,
0:11:35 > 0:11:36- Eggheads, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38It's a very powerful character study.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Hard watch, yeah.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It is a hard watch, but it's joyful as well.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43OK, Sue, your question.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Which Arnold Schwarzenegger film was remade in 2012
0:11:47 > 0:11:48with Colin Farrell?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Again, I have absolutely no idea.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I've never seen an Arnold Schwarzenegger film,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02so, again, it's going to be a guess,
0:12:02 > 0:12:07I'm going to go for the one on the right, Terminator.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Terminator is probably the best-known
0:12:09 > 0:12:10and it is an amazing film.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It is not the answer, though.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13This is Total Recall.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Oh...
0:12:15 > 0:12:18OK, so your second question -
0:12:18 > 0:12:20you can actually take the round with this, Beth.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23In EastEnders, what name was given to the daughter of
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Grant and Tiffany Mitchell, born in 1997?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I don't watch soaps,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34but I think I was still watching EastEnders around this time,
0:12:34 > 0:12:41and I think I can hear Grant Mitchell shouting, "Courtney!"
0:12:41 > 0:12:43JEREMY LAUGHS
0:12:43 > 0:12:45And on that note, you've taken the round,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48because Courtney is the right answer. Sue, sorry.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51She's very good, our Beth, and she will be in the final.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Come back to us and we will play on.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Well, I think we may need some Qigong now.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- I think we may need... - Definitely.- Yes.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01..to centre.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04I bet there's quite a lot of it quietly going on there.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05- Is there?- Yes, there is.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06I can tell.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09So, the Torfaen Qigongers have lost a couple of brains
0:13:09 > 0:13:11from the final round.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12The Eggheads have not lost any,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15and we have Music as your subject now.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Right, so it's Ann or Beth or the skipper.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Shall I take it?- Yes.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24One of you will be left at the end, then,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- unless anyone will take Music? - I can't do Music.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'll be the sacrificial lamb if you want.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Well, I think you can probably be better than me...- I can try.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- ..cos you've seen a lot of live music.- None of the modern stuff.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- No modern stuff. - None of the modern stuff, OK.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I think Beth is going to take Music.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40OK, Beth is going to climb into the cannon,
0:13:40 > 0:13:41against which Egghead?
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Steve.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Right.- I think Steve.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48So, Beth from the Torfaen Qigongers versus Steve from the Eggheads,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50on Music, please go to our Question Room.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Steve, what's your favourite type of music?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I don't think I've ever asked you.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58I like... I have a pretty wide range, Jeremy.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I like the indie stuff, the Smiths, like yourself,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03and Radiohead, gloomy stuff,
0:14:03 > 0:14:04but all sorts -
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Motown, the Beatles,
0:14:06 > 0:14:07right up to the charts.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08I'm not fussy at all.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10If I like it, I like it.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13So it starts in... Music starts in 1953 for you, basically?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Yeah, pretty much. Well, no, I like classical as well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18You know, I like singing along to ice cream van tunes
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- but, yeah, pretty much anything. - JEREMY LAUGHS
0:14:20 > 0:14:23How about you, Beth, where are you on your ice cream van tunes?
0:14:23 > 0:14:28Oh, I like ice cream van tunes as well, but I do like live music.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31We go to opera and folk concerts and jazz,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34but I can't always remember the names of things.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36All right, Beth, good luck. Music it is, against Steve,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38and would you like to go first or second?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I'd like to go first, please.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Let's see if we can get any ice cream music in for you.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Please.- I've never had that referred to before.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50All right, here's your question.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56In 1971, in which actor had a UK number-one single with Grandad?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Wow, one I know! Clive Dunn.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05It is Clive Dunn. Well done, you've started well.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08OK, Steve, let's see if you're going to get Qigonged here.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Your question - the singer Otis Redding died in a plane crash
0:15:13 > 0:15:14in which decade?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Yeah, I think it was about 1968, so it's 1960s.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22The answer is the 1960s.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- 1967, actually. - Oh, right, right.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27We'll go back to you, Beth.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30The theme music to the British version of The Apprentice
0:15:30 > 0:15:34is an excerpt from a work by which composer?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'm not sure at all about this one,
0:15:40 > 0:15:44but I'm going to go for...
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Prokofiev.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Can you hum it?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49No!
0:15:49 > 0:15:51But you're right anyway, Prokofiev is right.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Good guess.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54What are we talking about, here? Can anyone give me that?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56# Da-dum da-dum da-dum
0:15:56 > 0:15:58# Da-dum da-dum da-dum Da-da-da... #
0:15:58 > 0:16:01The Dance Of The Knights from the ballet Romeo And Juliet.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Right. OK.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Steve,
0:16:05 > 0:16:10which actor stars in the video for Carly Rae Jepsen's single
0:16:10 > 0:16:11I Really Like You?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Well, I've seen the video in question, which helps,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19and I'm pretty sure that's Tom Hanks.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21It is Tom Hanks. Well done.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25OK, Beth, he's playing well, but so are you.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Get this right - put him under pressure.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Here's your question.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Under what name do the singer-songwriters
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes collectively perform?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Oh, this has stumped me, really,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45and it's going to be a complete guess.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I'm going to say...
0:16:47 > 0:16:49the Blossoms.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51The Shires is the right answer,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53and they are actually brilliant.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55OK, Steve, you can take the round with this.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00In which year was Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture premiered?
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Erm, well, because he died around the turn of the century,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15I'd be inclined to go 1882, Jeremy.
0:17:16 > 0:17:181882 is the right answer, Steve. Well done.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Sorry, Beth. He is very good.- Yes.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And I think he probably likes some of that ice cream music
0:17:23 > 0:17:25even more than he admits.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26So, you've been knocked out.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28And if you come back to us, both of you,
0:17:28 > 0:17:32we've got one more round to play before the all-important final.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Well, you may be helping the Eggs a little bit,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37cos they had a bad one last round,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39but you can also come back now -
0:17:39 > 0:17:42there's no question, Torfaen Qigongers -
0:17:42 > 0:17:45so good luck in this last round.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48And you've lost three brains - the Eggheads haven't lost any -
0:17:48 > 0:17:52now is the chance to just sort it out before the final,
0:17:52 > 0:17:53and it's Politics.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Oh...
0:17:54 > 0:17:56No? Is that not good?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Well, take it, but I could be left...
0:17:58 > 0:17:59You're the one to take it, Carole.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Well, it's up to you.- You're better at Politics than we are.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- You're better for Politics than I am.- Yeah.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Do you mind?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I don't mind taking Politics.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Carole? OK, the skipper going into bat.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13A last desperate lunge.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Politics, and it can be either Barry, known as The Brain,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18or Pat, who's actually also known as The Brain.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Oh, heck!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It's not... I know it's not much of a choice.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I'm going to go for Barry, I think.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Carole from the Torfaen Qigongers versus Barry from the Eggheads,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31and please, now, for the last time, go to our Question Room.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Carole, so you're up against Barry -
0:18:33 > 0:18:35would you like to go first or second?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36I'll go first, please.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41And here we go with your first question -
0:18:41 > 0:18:46in which year did George Osborne become MP for Tatton?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I'm going to go down the middle, I think, for 2001.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I think the others are a little bit outside of it.
0:18:56 > 0:18:572001, Jeremy.
0:18:57 > 0:18:592001 is quite right.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Well done, Carole.- Wonderful.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03OK, Barry,
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Kasner is the maiden name of which politician?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Kasner - K-A-S-N-E-R.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Well, Kasner to me, sounds a very Germanic name,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18so the only German there is Angela Merkel,
0:19:18 > 0:19:19so that's my answer.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20You are quite right.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22And Le Pen must be Le Pen.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Indeed.- And we had Theresa May's maiden name come up the other day.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Do you remember it?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Ooh, I'm afraid I don't.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I remember it as Brasier.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- That's right, Brasier. - Is it?- Yes.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35So, Angela Merkel is right.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37One each, and back to you, Carole.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Which US political figure purchased the Florida estate
0:19:40 > 0:19:44known as Mar-a-Lago in 1985?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'm going to go for Donald Trump,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52because he's always buying properties.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Donald Trump is right. - Well done.- Thank you.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58What happened to him since then? I lost track of him(!)
0:19:58 > 0:20:00We don't see much of him now(!)
0:20:02 > 0:20:03OK. Barry.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04In British Politics,
0:20:04 > 0:20:09which 20th-century Prime Minister served three monarchs?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Well, the abdication crisis was in 1936,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and Stanley Baldwin was the Prime Minister there,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22so that would have meant that he would have served three monarchs -
0:20:22 > 0:20:26the one before, Edward VIII, and the one after.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Stanley Baldwin is quite right.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Well done.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31OK, back to you, Carole.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32The score's level.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34In October 2015,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37who was elected Speaker of the US House of Representatives?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Well, I don't think it was Paul Ryan.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I'm going to go for Dianne Feinstein.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Now, I have a feeling she's a Democrat
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- and I think we're looking for a Republican.- Ah.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54And the answer is Paul Ryan.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59OK, Barry, the Seimas is the parliament of which country?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Seimas is S-E-I-M-A-S.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Well, the parliament of Israel is the Knesset.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I'm not sure what the parliament of Turkey is,
0:21:10 > 0:21:11but I've got it in my mind that
0:21:11 > 0:21:14the Seimas is definitely the parliament of Lithuania,
0:21:14 > 0:21:16so that's my answer.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Lithuania is the correct answer, Barry. Well done.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Sorry, Carole.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- The team captain has gone down. - It's OK. Yeah.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24It's a difficult position,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27but it's not impossible for your team, not by any means.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Please return to us and we will play the final round.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35It is time for the final round,
0:21:35 > 0:21:36which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39but, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:39 > 0:21:41won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45So, Carole, Beth, Sue, and Glenys from the Torfaen Qigongers,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Well, Ann, our retired French teacher,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I know this wasn't quite the plan.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It wasn't the plan, Jeremy.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55It most certainly wasn't the plan.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58But fear not, and you've got all your mindfulness and everything.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Oof! Or something like that. - You're going on. I know.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04So, you're playing to win the Torfaen Qigongers £1,000.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Your four team-mates are watching on with...
0:22:06 > 0:22:09interest, I think, understates it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Barry, Steve, Pat, Chris, and Beth,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15which is to restore the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20This time, they're all General Knowledge,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- and, Ann, I normally say you can confer...- I will confer.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24- You can talk to yourself.- Yes.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25The big question is,
0:22:25 > 0:22:29can you, with your one brain, defeat these five?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30And it's been done.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:32 > 0:22:33I'll go first, please.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, I'm hoping for some French questions here.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Oh, yes.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43In the Dan Dare comic strips,
0:22:43 > 0:22:49what part of his arch enemy the Mekon's body is unusually large?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Well, little toe seems ridiculous.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58How would you have an enormous little toe?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Navel, I don't think they would.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Head.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Head is right.- Oh, yes!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Yes! We're on our way.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- All right.- This is it. OK.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Eggheads, your question, to catch up -
0:23:10 > 0:23:14the island of Hispaniola lies in which sea?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Caribbean.- Caribbean. - Are you happy with that?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's in the Caribbean, Jeremy.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Caribbean, yeah, so it's near, what?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Jamaica? Places like that?- Cuba.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Caribbean is right.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- They've drawn level.- No...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Don't worry, though. It might be temporary.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36The Scottish order of knighthood, the Order of the Thistle
0:23:36 > 0:23:40has the motto, "No-one provokes me with..." what?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46It depends what.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49No-one provokes me with dishonour.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Is that someone calling me dishonourable,
0:23:51 > 0:23:52therefore provoking me?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Or do they provoke me and get away with it,
0:23:55 > 0:23:56which would be with impunity?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I would count out, probably wrongly, exception.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04And I would say no-one provokes me with...
0:24:06 > 0:24:08..impunity.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10"No-one provokes me with impunity."
0:24:10 > 0:24:13It makes perfect sense, and it is the right answer, well done!
0:24:13 > 0:24:14All right!
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Oof! I'm living every point with you here.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Eggheads, again, you're behind.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25How old must you be to give blood in the UK?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Yeah, it used to be 18, but they reduced it not that long ago.- Yeah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32That makes sense cos they need more donors, don't they?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Yeah.- Are you happy with that?- Yeah.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Our public health spokesman has advised me that it's 17.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I know this is Beth's kind of thing, as a microbiologist. Right?
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Yeah, yeah.
0:24:41 > 0:24:4217 is right.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43So, two each.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Anne, get this one right,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and sometimes the Eggheads just fall over on the third question.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Oh, I'm sure they will.- They do.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Ahmad Abughaush won the first-ever gold medal for which country
0:24:54 > 0:24:57at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games?
0:24:59 > 0:25:06I remember it being the first, but...
0:25:06 > 0:25:07for no logical reason,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10apart from the fact that I've been there and loved the country,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I'm going to say Jordan.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Do we dare check with the Eggs?
0:25:14 > 0:25:15I know it's not going to be...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18It's the kind of thing they know. Come on, Eggs, tell us.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Well, I think, in weightlifting,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23both Iran and Turkey, I think, have had weightlifting gold in the past,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- so I'd go for Jordan. - I'd go for Jordan.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Jordan's right.- Oh, no!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29JEREMY LAUGHS
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Oh, your team-mates are thrilled.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33So, let's just see, do you know what the sport was?
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Tae kwon do.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Yeah. Pat, you're amazing. Tae kwon do is the right answer.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39OK, so, here we are.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Let's just savour this moment, Ann. - I'm going to.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43You've done everything that could have been expected.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44- The best bit.- Three.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Three out of three in the final round on General Knowledge,
0:25:47 > 0:25:48and, so far, they've only got two.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50If they get the next one wrong,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54then your team has beaten the Eggheads and you've won £1,000.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59What relation was George du Maurier, who wrote the novel Trilby,
0:25:59 > 0:26:04to the writer Daphne du Maurier, who wrote the novel Rebecca?
0:26:08 > 0:26:09It's got to be...
0:26:09 > 0:26:11On the age alone, I would have thought it'd be grandfather.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- I thought that before they came up. - Did you?
0:26:14 > 0:26:15It's certainly not husband.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Daphne du Maurier was married to Browning, the general...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22the Second World War general,
0:26:22 > 0:26:23so it wasn't her husband.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Definitely not that. Uncle?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- OK?- Yeah, I'm happy with that? - Yeah.- OK.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33We're not certain with this, but we think he should be her grandfather.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35You sound pretty certain. Do you know the answer, Ann?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- No.- If they've got it wrong, the contest is over and you've won.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40But they have got it right. Grandfather is the answer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42So, they're playing well, too.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Yes!- I'm sorry that didn't... - It was a moment of hope.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Well, the hope has not gone, not by any manner of means.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50So, just keep getting the Sudden Death questions right
0:26:50 > 0:26:55- but it's a bit harder now, because I don't give you the options.- Yes.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Who won the X Factor when One Direction came third?
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Oh, I'm so...
0:27:04 > 0:27:06One Direction came third.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I'm not going to know the name, even if I can see the person.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Olly Murs.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19It's not a bad shout. Did Olly win the X Factor?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- No.- No.- No, he's...
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Matt Cardle is the answer.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27So, there's a chance for the Eggheads to snatch it away.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Which fashion designer provided the creative direction for
0:27:32 > 0:27:36the 2012 British Olympic and Paralympic official team kits?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Stella McCartney. - I think it was Stella McCartney.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Stella McCartney.- Definitely. - You both say Stella McCartney, so...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43OK. We think that's Stella McCartney.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46If you've got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I wish it were not the case, but it is the right answer.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- I know.- Stella McCartney is correct. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- You have won.- Well done.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Sorry, girls. - Oh! You mustn't be sorry.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01That was brilliant. That was such a great performance.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Because, sometimes, well, they'll tell you,
0:28:03 > 0:28:04the third question can be very sticky.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Oh, I was holding my breath on the grandfather.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Yes!
0:28:08 > 0:28:13Commiserations, Torfaen Qigongers, and Ann especially.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15The Eggheads have got back into their stride a little bit here.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17They've done what comes naturally to them
0:28:17 > 0:28:20and they do reign supreme over quiz land, once again.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23So, I'm afraid, it means you're not going home with the £1,000,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- but I hope you had a good time. - Oh, I know.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- We had a wonderful time.- The money rolls over to our next show,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31and, Eggheads, we wonder if this is the start of something big now.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Join as next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:34 > 0:28:36to stop them in their tracks.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38There'll be £2,000 to win.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Until then, goodbye.
