0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:37are the Fox Cubs.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38This team were in the same
0:00:38 > 0:00:41sixth form class at Manchester Grammar School
0:00:41 > 0:00:45and recently reunited for the first time in nearly 50 years.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Roger. I'm an emeritus professor of law.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Graham and I'm a writer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Jon and I'm a retired property consultant.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Ian and I'm a retired civil servant.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Richard and I'm a psychometrics consultant.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Roger, team, welcome, great to see you.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Hello.- Roger, was it great to see each other when you all reunited?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Yes, it was. Yes.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Did you have that amazing thing
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- where you can just pick up straightaway?- Absolutely, yes.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Really?- Yes.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I should ask you about the team name.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Fox Cubs relates to your teacher.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25He was our form master and English teacher, Geoff Fox.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- Still with us, I gather? - Yes, still with us.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Knows all about this.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Maybe watching today and cheering you on.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34He says he will, yes.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- He was a good teacher? - Very good teacher. Yes.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41That makes all the difference, doesn't it, Eggheads?
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Anyone here had a great teacher?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Yes, I had a fantastic biology teacher.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I was going to drop biology A-level
0:01:49 > 0:01:51but it was her that encouraged me to keep with it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55And now it is your career. Yeah. I had a great English teacher.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Good luck. Summon up the spirit of the class.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Stay united here in the face of the onslaught.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Every day there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:04 > 0:02:05for our challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10that prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13So, Fox Cubs, the Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16That means there is £2,000 for you if you win today.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Would you like to try?- Yes, please.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20OK, let's go for it.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25You can choose either Judith, Beth,
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Pat, Steve or Chris.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Who is going to go for it? - Do you want to?
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Do you want to?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33One of us, presumably.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Shall I go?- Yes. Graham.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Graham, our writer, against which Egghead?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Any one of the five.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41- Beth.- Beth.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44That's what I was going to think of.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Beth, please. - One of the newest Eggheads.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Graham from the Fox Cubs versus Beth from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Please both of you go to our Question Room.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I understand you worked in the library, Graham, did you?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Yes, I was a librarian for nearly 40 years.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- It was where? - Various different places.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Most of the time I was working for an international law firm
0:03:06 > 0:03:08as their head of information services
0:03:08 > 0:03:11but before that I was at Hull University and Kingston Polytechnic.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15And if we say to the Eggheads University of Hull library,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17what is your immediate name?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Philip Larkin.- Philip Larkin,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23one of the undoubtedly great poets of the 20th century,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25who I understand worked
0:03:25 > 0:03:28in the library just down the corridor, did he?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- He was my boss.- So, as somebody once said, you met him as he lived.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Yeah, sure. He was rather reserved so one didn't see him a lot.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36He stayed in his office a lot.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39But I had a few very pleasant conversations with him
0:03:39 > 0:03:41over the year or two that I was there.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I promise you don't have to say he was a nice guy.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- I'm assuming he was quite grumpy at times.- Very.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Those poems, do you love them yourself?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- I do.- Remarkable.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Good stuff. On Geography, then, I am sorry it is not Arts and Books, but there we go.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Geography for you against Beth.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Here we go. Geographically speaking, which of these countries occupies
0:04:07 > 0:04:10a large proportion of the Scandinavian peninsula?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Iceland isn't in the peninsula. I assume the peninsula is the bit
0:04:18 > 0:04:21that includes Norway, Sweden and Finland, so Denmark
0:04:21 > 0:04:25wouldn't be included in that, so I think the answer must be Sweden.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Sweden is right. Well done.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Over to you, Beth. Hobart is the capital of which state of Australia?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Luckily I am not afflicted with the same gaping hole of Australia
0:04:42 > 0:04:45as Lisa is. I am pretty sure that is Tasmania.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48She would fly into a panic if she saw this question.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Tasmania is right.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54OK, Graham. The equator passes through which of these countries?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01The equator passes through South America
0:05:01 > 0:05:03so it won't go through Mexico.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It certainly doesn't get anywhere near South Africa.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08So the answer must be Indonesia.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10You're very good. Indonesia is right.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Graham ahead. Can Beth catch up?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17What is the approximate population of Saudi Arabia?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Wow. It is a big country.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Does it have a similar population to Great Britain?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Or does it have half of that?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Probably half of that. 32 million.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39You have done very well there.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41It is not an easy question. 32 million is right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Toe to toe, Graham. Here we go, your third question.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Ouagadougou is the capital of which African country?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55The capital of Benin is Porto-Novo.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59The capital of Botswana is Gaborone.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03And the capital of Burkina Faso is Ouagadougou.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Good quizzing. Burkina Faso is right.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07He knows his capitals, Beth.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Yeah, he does.- We can tell a quizzer a mile off, can't we?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14OK. Your question to stay in.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18What is the capital of the French departement of Gironde?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Gironde?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28That is certainly not Paris
0:06:28 > 0:06:31and Le Havre is on the Brittany, Normandy coast
0:06:31 > 0:06:33so it's got to be Bordeaux.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Well done again. Bordeaux it is.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37So, perfect round for you both so far, three out of three.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40We go to sudden death. Graham, it gets a little bit harder.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41I don't give you options.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Are you ready?- Yup.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Which Benelux country has a name
0:06:45 > 0:06:48that translates from its native language into
0:06:48 > 0:06:51English as low country?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52The Netherlands.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55The Netherlands is right. Nederland as it is to them.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Beth, to stay in.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02Mount Paektu, the highest mountain in North Korea,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05lies on the border between that country and which other?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09With Lisa's gaping hole over Australia,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12my gaping hole is over east Asia.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I am going to...fingers crossed and hope that North Korea
0:07:15 > 0:07:18joins itself up with China. China.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21China is correct. Graham...
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Netherthorpe, Pitsmoor and Darnall
0:07:25 > 0:07:27are suburbs of which English city?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29So we are talking...
0:07:31 > 0:07:32..possibly moorland.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34I've never heard of any of them.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I'm going to go for Nottingham.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Do you know this, Beth?- No,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I would have thought maybe slightly more north than Nottingham.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Leeds possibly? Sheffield?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Sheffield is the answer.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Beth, you have a chance to take the round with this question.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53The flag of Ghana features a black star
0:07:53 > 0:07:57and how many different coloured bands?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58- Three.- Three is right.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Red, yellow and green. Well done, you are in the final.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Well played, Graham,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05that was a really fearsome challenge you put in there.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08You are very good. Please come back to us, both of you,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10and we will play on.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15As it stands, the Fox Cubs have lost one brain from the final round.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17The Eggheads haven't lost any so far.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The next subject for you is Science.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Who was the science stand-out in class?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- We didn't do science. - We're all liberal arts!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28There was no swot?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I see. OK.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I have been nominated as the fall guy here.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Jon, OK.- Jon is our expert on science.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Property consultant against which Egghead?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Anyone but Beth.- I would say Judith.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Judith, yeah.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Judith.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- I can hear a strange noise. - It is me groaning.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Why would you groan at Science?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I have never had a science lesson in my life.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Have you not?- We're in the same boat, Judith.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58You are in the same boat? OK.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Let's see. Somebody may be hiding their knowledge.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Jon from the Fox Cubs versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06To ensure there is no conferring,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Jon, I know that many of the team members are very decorated in their
0:09:14 > 0:09:18lives since school and you won the Cromwell Prize in 1972.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Yes, that was given out by my university, East Anglia,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26on historical research into Oliver Cromwell.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Brilliant. You got a monetary prize or whatever?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30What did you do with it?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34I spent it on a celebratory party
0:09:34 > 0:09:41and they informed my tutor what I had spent the money on only to get,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44instead of a letter of congratulations,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I got a letter back saying you should have realised
0:09:47 > 0:09:51it was to be spent on furthering your research into Oliver Cromwell.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Oh, dear!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55The money had gone, so it was too late.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Hopefully you talked about Cromwell at the party.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02No. This was a story that I have never told any of
0:10:02 > 0:10:05my colleagues here in the team,
0:10:05 > 0:10:09so this is the first they have heard of it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Jon, would you like to go first or second?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Your question -
0:10:18 > 0:10:22a salinometer is a device used to read the percentage of
0:10:22 > 0:10:23what substance in a solution?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Saline will be salt.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Salt is quite right.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Judith, your question.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41What is the scientific study of insects known as?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Is this seismology, entomology or psychology?
0:10:45 > 0:10:50It is not psychology or seismology, so it is entomology.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Are you sure it is not psychology?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Definitely. That is the mind.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Entomology is right.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57We are back to you, Jon.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59The human genome project,
0:10:59 > 0:11:04the aim of which was to mark all the genes on the human chromosomes,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06was begun in which year?
0:11:10 > 0:11:16It is not an answer that immediately springs to mind.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I think it was before 2010.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I would go for 1990.
0:11:23 > 0:11:261990 is the right answer.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Judith, often used in food products,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33gelatine is a substance derived from which protein?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Gelatine, I thought that came from beef.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43That was the great worry about it.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47When the mad cow disease scare happened.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I think it is keratin.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Here you have gone astray, Judith.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Oh, dear. It is collagen.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Collagen. That is what holds skin together, isn't it?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Gelatine... Yes, maybe that is the beef connection.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I thought keratin had something to do with your hair.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Like gel?- Well, no, not that you put on your hair,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10but it sort of held the hair together.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Well, that is gel.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Collagen is right, I'm sorry, you have fallen foul of keratin there,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18so you can take the round now, Jon, with this answer.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22The yellow-brown transparent gem citrine
0:12:22 > 0:12:25is a variety of which mineral?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Citrine is C-I-T-R-I-N-E. Citrine.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I don't think it's diamond.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I don't think it's gypsum either.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39I think it's quartz.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41The correct answer is quartz.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Well done, Jon. You have got three out of three.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Judith, you have fallen by the wayside.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46I'm afraid you have been knocked out.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49You will be in the Sin Bin in the final round. There we are.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50A bit of a problem on science.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Maybe she's right. Jon, it is good news for your team.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Please come back to the studio and we will play the next round.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01As it stands, the Fox Cubs have lost one brain from the final round
0:13:01 > 0:13:04and you have just turned and knocked one of theirs out.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06The Eggheads have lost one, too.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07It is getting a bit lively now.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10The next subject is Sport.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Who would like this, Roger?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Ian.- I will take that, Jeremy.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Ian, a retired civil servant against...
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Let me see, Chris, Steve or Pat?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Chris, apparently.- OK, somebody watches the show.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Ian from the Fox Cubs is taking on Chris on sport.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- I'll get my coat. - Don't get your coat,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30get your donkey jacket and off we go.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Sport against Chris, Ian, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48Here is your question. How far to the nearest foot does the oche stand
0:13:48 > 0:13:51from the board in a professional game of darts?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58If you were throwing darts from 15 feet you would have to be
0:13:58 > 0:14:01pretty good or have a good screen around the audience, I think.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I believe it is eight.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Chris, do you know this? - It is eight, yes.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Eight is the answer, well done.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12That is the key thing. Eight is right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Chris, your question.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Which Japanese martial art has a name that
0:14:18 > 0:14:20translates as "way of the sword"?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Judo is the gentle way, karate is empty hand
0:14:28 > 0:14:33and in kendo they belabour themselves with bamboo rods
0:14:33 > 0:14:34like swords, so it is kendo.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Yes, and they wear kind of helmets and stuff?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Kendo is right. OK, back to you, Ian.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42The footballer Jens Lehmann
0:14:42 > 0:14:44played in which position for both club and country?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I've seen him play so I won't discuss it,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Jens Lehmann was a goalkeeper.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57He won't discuss it because he played for...
0:14:57 > 0:14:59He played for the wrong team.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I know who you're talking about. We could mention Arsenal but this is
0:15:02 > 0:15:04about Germany and you're right anyway.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Goalkeeper is correct.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Chris, the winter sport of bandy
0:15:08 > 0:15:12is most similar to which of the following?
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Bandy, they play it in Ireland, don't they?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23It's not ski jumping and curling they have to play on ice,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25so it's not curling.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30I think bandy is an extremely vicious game played on grass that's
0:15:30 > 0:15:32a bit like ice hockey. So that's the answer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Let's see if the Eggheads know.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35- Is he right?- He's right.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37It's like ice hockey. It's played on ice, though.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39It's like ice hockey.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Chris, you're right. Ice hockey. We gather from Pat it is played on ice.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44OK.
0:15:45 > 0:15:462-2.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Ian, it's tense. Here's your question...
0:15:49 > 0:15:54The Scottish athlete Laura Muir specialises in what kind of event?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02This is very embarrassing in Glasgow.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I'm afraid this is going to have to be a punt, I'm awfully sorry.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm going to say middle-distance running.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Middle-distance running is the right answer.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Three out of three.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17OK, Chris, your question.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Published in 2016,
0:16:18 > 0:16:23Unguarded is the title of which England cricketer's autobiography?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Unguarded.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Possibly a wicketkeeper.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37None of those are known for making unguarded remarks
0:16:37 > 0:16:40so spin a three-sided coin,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42straight down the middle, Michael Vaughan.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Sorry, Chris, it's Jonathan Trott.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Sorry, you been knocked out by Ian who got three out of three,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50which is always handy. You took on an Egghead,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Ian, you emerged triumphant, so advantage to your team now.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54This is getting exciting.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Come back to us, we'll play the last round before the final.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03So, as it stands, the Fox Cubs have lost one from the final round.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06The Eggheads have lost two brains from the final round.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Let's savour this moment, guys.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11This is a good moment. Now you need to drive it home
0:17:11 > 0:17:13with the next round, the last one before the final.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Knock another Egghead out, game on.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Film and TV is the subject.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19So Richard or Roger?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20That must be me.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- OK, Richard.- Thank you, Richard.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Psychometrics consultant, against which Egghead, Pat or Steve?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- I would say Steve.- Steve, please.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Very good. Richard from the Fox Cubs
0:17:33 > 0:17:35is going to play Steve from the Eggheads.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Please, for the last time, go to the Question Room.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43So Film and TV. Do you want to go first or second against Steve?
0:17:43 > 0:17:44First, please.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Who presents the UK version of the TV show
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here?
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Right. I was scientifically chosen for this particular subject
0:18:02 > 0:18:04because I don't watch television.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08So I'm going to have to make a guess...
0:18:10 > 0:18:13..on no information at all.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Ant and Dec.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18No, you've got it, Ant and Dec is right.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19They're the ones in the jungle.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23OK, Steve.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Your question. Who played Detective Roger Murtaugh
0:18:26 > 0:18:28in the Lethal Weapon series of films,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30starring opposite Mel Gibson?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37To the best of my knowledge, the only one that was in those films
0:18:37 > 0:18:39is Danny Glover, so that's my answer.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Danny Glover is quite right.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Richard, which Only Fools And Horses character
0:18:45 > 0:18:48was played by Lennard Pearce?
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Right, this has got me thinking frantically.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'm ruling out Trigger.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Scientifically it must be Uncle Albert because it's on the left.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Is that scientific?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I don't know.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Judith's rule is you go down the right.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13All right, Uncle Albert.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Was Uncle Albert in something, Steve?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Well, he was in Only Fools And Horses but I think that was
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Buster Merryfield. - And who played Trigger?
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Roger Lloyd Pack.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26So the answer here is Grandad, Richard, I'm sorry.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Good to see you showing off your facts, Steve. Impressive.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31All of them.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I know you've got some spare, I know that.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Here's your question.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Which actress played the role of Clara Oswald in the TV series
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Doctor Who from 2012-2015?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Well, Doctor Who is a show I absolutely adore.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I've watched it for years.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Since Tom Baker was on it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57So I know full well that's Jenna Coleman.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00It is the brilliant Jenna Coleman, you're right.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Who then popped up in Victoria, didn't she?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- She did indeed.- Great actress.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07So he's in the lead, Richard.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11It's not panic stations but it would be good if you got this one right.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Well, more than that,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17you must get it right to stay in. No two ways about it.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20What is the name of the organisation that the hero works for
0:20:20 > 0:20:24in the 1960s puppet TV series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35As I said I'm implying strict scientific theory to this
0:20:35 > 0:20:37and I'll go for International Rescue.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39No.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Let's see if your team-mates agree. I heard a groan. No?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Well, International Rescue was definitely Thunderbirds.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Thunderbirds, yes, that was.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48So which one is this? Do you know?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- I'd go for Spectrum. - I'd go for World Intelligence.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Steve, what would you say? - Spectrum.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Spectrum is the answer, Richard.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59So Steve has taken the round.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03No way back for you and that really leaves it in an interesting
0:21:03 > 0:21:06position for the final because you're going to be perched equally.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Please return to us, gents, and we will play the final round.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13This is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14It is time for our final round
0:21:14 > 0:21:17and as always it's General Knowledge.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19But I'm afraid that those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:19 > 0:21:21won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24So Graham and Richard from the Fox Cubs,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26and Chris and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28would you please now leave the studio.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Roger, Jon, Ian.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34You're playing to win the Fox Cubs £2,000.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Hopefully with Mr Fox watching, your old teacher.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Steve, Pat and Beth, you're playing for something money can't buy -
0:21:40 > 0:21:42the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48They're all general knowledge and you can confer.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Gentlemen, so the question is - can your three brains defeat these
0:21:53 > 0:21:55three super brains over here?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58And Roger, Jon, Ian, would you like to go first or second?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01We'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05OK, here's your question.
0:22:05 > 0:22:12The term "dick" is sometimes used as a slang term for which professional?
0:22:12 > 0:22:19The term "dick" is sometimes used as a slang term for which professional?
0:22:22 > 0:22:27It's detective, I don't think we need to discuss that.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Detective.- Yes, in lots of...
0:22:29 > 0:22:33I was thinking Raymond Chandler's books and all of that.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Big Sleep and so on. Detective is right.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41The trainer Angelo Dundee, who died in 2012,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43was a leading name in which sport?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Boxing.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54I think he famously trained Muhammad Ali, he was a boxing trainer.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Yes, I read Muhammad Ali's autobiography
0:22:57 > 0:22:59and he was on every other page.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Boxing is the answer. Well done.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Back to you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10The high-energy dance the cancan first became a popular musical dance
0:23:10 > 0:23:12during which period?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- I think... - Didn't Toulouse-Lautrec...
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yes, so it's the late 1800s.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I would've thought it was the 1800s, that's what...
0:23:24 > 0:23:28The pictures of dancers in that sort of style.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Definitely not the 1700s.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33No, but I'm sure... It's definitely not 1700s, I agree.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Shall we?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Yes. I'm happy with that.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40For better or for worse, we're going for 1800s.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43You've got a memory of a Toulouse-Lautrec poster?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I think that's right, I think he did do a painting
0:23:46 > 0:23:48with all of the legs in the air?
0:23:48 > 0:23:491800s is right. Well done.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53OK, Eggheads, behind at the moment.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57During which conflict was the Battle of Blenheim fought?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Spanish Succession. - Spanish Succession.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I think it's the Spanish Succession.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13THEY CONFER
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Yes.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18We think that's the War of the Spanish Succession.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21War of the Spanish Succession is the right answer.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24They're not thrown off easily, these Eggheads.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26OK, your third question -
0:24:26 > 0:24:29get this one right and they may stumble and fall.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31This could be the tricky one.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Get it wrong and it gives them a clear shot at goal.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Drake was at number one in the UK singles charts
0:24:39 > 0:24:44with the song One Dance for how many consecutive weeks in 2016?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Question from hell.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51I have absolutely no idea.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Any thoughts, any input, Jon?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I have a fancy it was for longer than five weeks.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Do you, well, if you have a fancy, you go for it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00He's got teenage children,
0:25:00 > 0:25:04which is the very tenuous thing that we're going to hold on to.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07So are you going for ten, are you?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I don't know, I think it might be fifteen,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I think it was there for quite a long time.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Fifteen is nearly four months. - OK, so we'll go ten.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Well, no, I'm just asking, I'm just saying.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Split the difference. Split it down the middle and go ten.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Are you sure? How...
0:25:20 > 0:25:21I'm not sure.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26OK, how strong is your inkling, as the Eggheads always say,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30for fifteen, because I don't want us to talk you out of it
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- just as a blind...- It's 50-50.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I don't think it's five.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36- Right.- Fair enough.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38OK. We'll go with you on that.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43I think ten is probably the best option.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44OK.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Fifteen, as Ian says, is a long time.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Right, I have absolutely nothing to give on this.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I don't.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- I think we should go ten.- Right.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I won't say Jon says, no...
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Unfortunately we have absolutely no idea on this.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07After some rather inconsequential discussion
0:26:07 > 0:26:11we're going to go with ten.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14OK, I see your logic because you argued out of five
0:26:14 > 0:26:16because that's not really long enough
0:26:16 > 0:26:19to make it important enough to be a question and then
0:26:19 > 0:26:23we had fifteen from Jon and then Ian said well, that's a long time,
0:26:23 > 0:26:28that's four months and then you kind of just went down the middle
0:26:28 > 0:26:31and you went to ten as a sort of a compromise.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I'm feeling bad for you because it's fifteen.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Oh, it was fifteen, yeah.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38There was a moment when I thought you were going to get it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40I listened very carefully, you did all you could, Roger,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42you chaired that very well.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44So, fifteen is the answer.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46OK, Eggheads, it's in your hands now.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48If you get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51If you get it wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54In which US city was the Home Insurance Building,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58considered to be the first skyscraper built in 1885?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03That's Chicago.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Chicago. Daniel... is it Daniel Burnham.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09No, it wasn't, it would be Sullivan.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12OK, yeah, it's not Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Yeah, we're happy with that. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17We think that's Chicago.
0:27:17 > 0:27:191885, the Home Insurance Building.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Do you know it?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I would have gone for Chicago.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25The correct answer is Chicago.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Would you have known the Drake? - Yes.- You would have known that?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Yes.- Well, because you follow who's number one when?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Yeah, and he was number one for a long time.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43You just can't believe it was number one for that long.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Yeah, as we were saying, nearly four months.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48I think one more week, it would have taken the record.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49It was the equal record.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Or equal record.- Isn't that Wet Wet Wet or somebody?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54- No, Bryan Adams.- Bryan Adams.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Another Canadian. - Well, Challengers, I'm sorry.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00The Eggheads have sort of done what they are quite good at doing,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03which is just nicking it on the third question of the final
0:28:03 > 0:28:04and it happens all the time
0:28:04 > 0:28:07and it means they reign supreme over quizland
0:28:07 > 0:28:09so you won't be going home with the £2,000.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- I hope you've enjoyed your time. - Oh, yes.- Yes, thank you very much.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14It's been another go at the school reunion.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Yes, that was the main motive.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19And Mr Fox, if you're watching, you can be proud of them.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Who will beat you? Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
