0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads. Feeling knowledgeable?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Yeah.- Yep.- Hope so.- We hope.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Well, more than hope is needed in this game, as you know.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Taking on our quiz champions
0:00:39 > 0:00:43today are On The Rocks. Now, this team all work in different
0:00:43 > 0:00:47departments at a whisky distillery on the Isle of Arran.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hello, my name's Jaclyn and I'm a marketing manager.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, my name's Mark and I'm a planning manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Andy and I'm a sales manager.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, my name's Graham and I'm a stillman.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Euan and I'm a managing director.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- So, Jaclyn and team, welcome. Good to see you.- Hello.- Hi.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Straight from a distillery making whisky, correct?- Absolutely, yes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11And tell us about the whisky you make.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Well, it's a stunning single malt from the Isle of Arran.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20It's a very easy drinking, smooth, fruity single malt that I think
0:01:20 > 0:01:22all the Eggheads would enjoy.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Well, don't encourage them. Does it sell all around the world?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- I bet it does. - It certainly does, yeah.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32We sell all over the world and of course here in the UK also.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34And do you have to like whisky to work there?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37If you don't like whisky before you work here,
0:01:37 > 0:01:38you certainly will once you join us.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41So the Queen opened your distillery as well, is that right?
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- Yes, she did.- Tell us about that.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48The Queen visited us in 1997 to open the visitors' centre, which is
0:01:48 > 0:01:50part of our distillery site in Lochranza.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55And there were a couple of casks put aside for her grandsons?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Yeah, we put aside two casks for her two grandsons William and
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Harry and they're still there, residing in our warehouses.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04How wonderful. They can claim them any time, I guess.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05They sure can and they're very welcome to.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Crucially, I know you quiz together. - We do.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10At a certain juncture in the morning - is that right?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- When you break out into a quiz. Tell us when.- That's correct, yeah.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16We listen to Radio 2 in the office every single day
0:02:16 > 0:02:20and we await PopMaster at 10.30 every morning and we always have
0:02:20 > 0:02:22a good go at all the questions.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- All right.- We have a particular expert on the team, Andy.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Oh, the music man.- Yes, he is. - Very good. Good luck, team.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Hope you do it. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:32 > 0:02:33up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41So On The Rocks, the Eggheads are building up a bit of steam, they've
0:02:41 > 0:02:45won the last two games, which means £3,000 is here for you to play for.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Would you like to try? - We certainly would, yeah.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51OK, the first head-to-head battle is on Music!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Couldn't be better and you can choose either
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Judith, Beth, Kevin or Pat or Steve. - Andy?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- I think this is maybe my shot, isn't it?- I think so.- PopMaster champion.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Let's have a think. - Who would you like to challenge?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Andy against any one of them. - Perhaps Judith?
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- Pat.- Pat?- I'll have a go at playing Pat at Music, I think.- Right.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I'm sensing that you watch the show. This is going to be interesting.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15You've got some tactics worked out here.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Andy from On The Rocks versus Pat, who is the rock of the Eggheads.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23To ensure there's no conferring to do the Music round, would you
0:03:23 > 0:03:25please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29You're up against Pat and you can choose, Andy, whether you go
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- first or second.- First. Please.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Here's your question. Which song gave The Beatles
0:03:38 > 0:03:41their second UK number-one single?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Is it...
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Right.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I think Strawberry Fields and The Ballad Of John And Yoko was
0:03:53 > 0:03:56more when they were going a bit weird and experimental and I can
0:03:56 > 0:04:00hear screaming behind She Loves You in my head,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02when I play it in my head, so, yeah,
0:04:02 > 0:04:03She Loves You, I think, is the answer.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06She Loves You, that's right, which starts with that
0:04:06 > 0:04:08brilliant sort of drumroll, doesn't it? OK.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Pat, your question.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12In what year was I Want You Back first
0:04:12 > 0:04:15a UK hit single for the Jackson 5?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I listen to the song quite a lot, but I listen to
0:04:24 > 0:04:26the KT Tunstall cover, which is rather marvellous.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29And Jacksons...
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I think the Jackson 5 are...
0:04:34 > 0:04:39quintessentially a '70s sound. 1980s a bit too late. I'll go for 1970.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Yes, 1970 it is. Well done.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Back to you, Andy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47What is the modern English name for the orchestral percussion
0:04:47 > 0:04:54instrument most similar to the ancient timbrel? It's T-I-M-B-R-E-L.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Is it...
0:04:59 > 0:05:04My instinct alone is drawing me away from tambourine,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06because I think that might be a bit too obvious,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09so I'm going to say timpani.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Timpani. Let's see if Pat knows. Is that right?
0:05:11 > 0:05:16It's some sort of percussion thing. Maybe I'd go timpani as well.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Hm. It's not timpani, though, it's tambourine. Andy, sorry.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22So Pat has a chance to take the lead.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Which of these bands was initially billed as the New Yardbirds?
0:05:32 > 0:05:37I think Pink Floyd were... Fairly quickly became Pink Floyd.
0:05:37 > 0:05:44I think the New Yardbirds are part of the very complicated...
0:05:44 > 0:05:48mix of 1960s, '70s groups out of which Led Zeppelin emerged.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Led Zeppelin is right. All right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55So you've go to get this right to catch up.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Ian Astbury is the singer in which British rock band formed in
0:05:59 > 0:06:01the 1980s? Ian Astbury.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Not 100% on this one either. I'm going to have to just say The Cult.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Yeah, you got it right and even though it's much more my era,
0:06:15 > 0:06:16I would not have known that, actually,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18so that's a very good answer. Well done.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20The Cult. Two out of three - is it enough to stay in?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Pat can take it with this.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Short Ride In A Fast Machine is a popular piece of music by
0:06:26 > 0:06:29which contemporary composer?
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Pat, is it...
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I had a very positive first thought, but having looked at the options
0:06:36 > 0:06:38now, a measure of doubt has crept in.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It's definitely not Philip Glass.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Initially I thought it was Steve Reich all day long,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47but John Adams is playing on me.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I think I'd have to go for Steve Reich.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Any Eggs know?- John Adams.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Yeah, John Adams, says Kevin, and John Adams is right,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59so you're stalled at two, Pat, and that means...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02How about that, Andy? So we go to Sudden Death, OK?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It gets a bit harder, I don't give you different options.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07And here is your question, Andy.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Which song by Bill Haley & His Comets begins with the line,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14"One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock"?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Rock Around The Clock.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Yes! You got it right. Well done. Rock Around The Clock.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Pat, your question to stay in.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Released in 2013, Pure Heroine was the debut album by which
0:07:25 > 0:07:28young female singer from New Zealand?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Well, the outstanding candidate is Lorde.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37Have I any other young New Zealand singers to trouble me?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- No, I don't think I have. I'll go for Lorde.- Lorde is right.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Andy, back to you.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45You Know My Name,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47sung by Chris Cornell,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50was the theme song to which James Bond film?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54My name... Hm.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Might be quite a recent one, I think.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Casino Royale, er...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I don't think that was Audioslave that did that one.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Let's Say...Quantum Of Solace.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- No, it is Casino Royale.- Oh!
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Pat, your question for the round.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15The married couple Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth were members of which
0:08:15 > 0:08:19American group whose UK hits included And She Was
0:08:19 > 0:08:21and Once In A Lifetime?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22I think that's Talking Heads.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Talking Heads is the right answer.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26You've taken it on Sudden Death, Pat.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Well done. You're in the final. Sorry, Andy. Knocked out.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Not to worry.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Tricky old round, that Music round.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33As a result, you won't be in the final.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Please come back to us and we'll play the next round.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41So as it stands, On The Rocks have lost a brain from the final round.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43The Eggheads still all sitting there.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46See if you can knock one out now. We've got Politics for you.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Who would like this, Jaclyn?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Want to give it a go, Graham? - You want to try, Graham?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- I'll give it a try.- Do you want to give it a try?- As long as
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- you do Science.- We need to stick to our strategy, don't we?- Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- I'll give it a go.- OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00So it's Graham, is it?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Just before you go, choose an Egghead and it can't be Pat.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- I'm thinking Beth maybe?- Yeah.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Good idea.- I'll take Beth. - Very good.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Graham from On The Rocks versus Beth from the Eggheads on Politics.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Have you done much Politics recently? I can't remember.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- I've done a couple.- All right. I won't even ask how they've gone,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I'd never enquire. To ensure there is no conferring,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22please go to our special Question Room.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26So, Politics, Graham, is the subject.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38Who succeeded Michael Heseltine as MP for Henley in 2001?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Was it...
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Henley. Oh...
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I'll just have to... I'll go down the middle, I'll say Michael Gove.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53No, it was actually... Boris Johnson.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Appearing in Parliament for the first time as an MP.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58When he won, when he made a speech saying,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02"Go back to your constituencies and prepare for breakfast."
0:10:02 > 0:10:03So Boris Johnson.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04OK, Beth, your question.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08What nickname is given to the Strangers' Bar at Westminster,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11because so many of its regulars were Labour MPs with
0:10:11 > 0:10:15a strong trade union background?
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Is this...
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Erm...
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Well, the most likely out of those would be, erm...
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Red Square.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I must admit I hadn't heard this and I might have gone that way as well.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- It's The Kremlin.- Kremlin. Yeah.- The Kremlin. OK. Graham, back to you.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Which former British Prime Minister returned to the Cabinet
0:10:39 > 0:10:41in 1970 as Foreign Secretary?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Er... I...
0:10:49 > 0:10:53It's almost a cliche to say, but long before my time.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Erm, I'm thinking...
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Well, I've definitely heard of the achievements of Clement Atlee
0:11:00 > 0:11:03more than the other two, so I'm going to have to say Clement Atlee.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05No, Clement Atlee was Labour and I think this is
0:11:05 > 0:11:07a Conservative government we're talking about.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10It's Alec Douglas-Home.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13So we're waiting for our first correct answer in this round.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Beth, the actress Antonia de Sancha made headlines in 1992 after
0:11:17 > 0:11:21a much publicised affair with which Tory politician?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Ooh.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31She had an affair with David Mellor.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33That is correct.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35David Mellor is the right answer. All right.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Beth is in the lead here, Graham.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40You need to get this answer right to stay in.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Elected as an MP for Bromsgrove in 2010,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Sajid Javid is a member of which political party?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I... I don't think it's Labour.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59I think this might be more of a right-leaning one if
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I remember right.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I'll say Conservative Party.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Conservative Party is quite right. Well done.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09OK, your question, Beth, for the round.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11In relation to the EU,
0:12:11 > 0:12:17the acronym Emu, or EMU, stands for Economic Monetary what?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Union.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25You've got it. Union is the right answer,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27so well done to Beth, you're in the final.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Sorry, Graham, knocked out on Politics there,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32beaten by our Egghead, not in the final,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35but come back to us and we'll see if the Challengers can turn it around.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38So as it stands,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41On The Rocks have lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44The Eggheads have not lost any so far. They're playing well.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Sorry about that. That happens sometimes - what can I say?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49The next subject is Arts & Books,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52so which one of you would like this from On The Rocks?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I'll take that.- I think the best shout's Jaci for that one.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- OK, Jaclyn.- That's for me.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- OK and you can have Judith or Kevin or Steve.- Steve.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Steve?- Steve, yeah.- I'd like to challenge Steve, please.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05OK, one of our newest Eggheads.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08So it's going to be Jaclyn from On The Rocks on Arts & Books
0:13:08 > 0:13:11and taking on Steve from the Eggheads.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Please, take your positions.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16All right. Jaclyn, Arts & Books -
0:13:16 > 0:13:19would you like to go first or second against Steve?
0:13:19 > 0:13:20I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Here we go. Good luck.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Which of these characters was created by a female writer?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Which of these characters was created by a female writer?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Female writer.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46I don't think it's Mary Poppins. I'm going to say Lyra Belacqua.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48OK. Lyra Belacqua is your answer.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Eggheads, let's start with Lyra Belacqua.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52What do we know about her?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56She's the protagonist in the Philip Pullman,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- His Dark Materials trilogy.- That's Philip Pullman. OK, Miss Havisham?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Dickens.- Charles Dickens. So who wrote Mary Poppins, Eggs?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Oh...- Travers.- Travers, yeah.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11There was a film about her. The one about her and Disney. Yes.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12And what was her name?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Pamela.- Pamela Travers.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18She wrote as PL Travers, so it's one of those names where if you
0:14:18 > 0:14:20just see the initials, you wouldn't be sure,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23but it was Pamela Lyndon for the PL.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28So the one guide to us here, Jaclyn, is that movie.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I don't know if you saw it, but maybe out in 2015, which was all
0:14:31 > 0:14:35about she wrote Mary Poppins and she had this very awkward
0:14:35 > 0:14:38relationship with Disney, who wanted to turn it into a film.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- And it's... It's PL Travers.- Yeah.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43So Mary Poppins is the right answer.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Steve,
0:14:45 > 0:14:50which science-fiction writer born in Russia in 1920 was for
0:14:50 > 0:14:53a time a professor of biochemistry at Boston University?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Steve, was this...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Well, if he's born in Russia and his name ends in "ov",
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I think it's a safe bet it's Isaac Asimov.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07That's a good point.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Isaac Asimov is right.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Jaclyn, your question.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Which term, from the Italian for "light and dark",
0:15:16 > 0:15:20is the name of the painting and drawing technique used to make
0:15:20 > 0:15:24something appear three-dimensional through the use of light and shadow?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Well, sfumato is to do with smoke.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35And chiaro is Italian for "light"
0:15:35 > 0:15:37and scuro is Italian for "dark",
0:15:37 > 0:15:40so the answer is chiaroscuro.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Chiaroscuro is quite right. Brilliant, well done.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Steve.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49La Comedie Humaine, or The Human Comedy,
0:15:49 > 0:15:54is a vast series of novels and novellas by which French writer?
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Yeah.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04If I'm thinking right - I've read a few of 'em - it's Honore de Balzac.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Honore de Balzac is quite right.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Now, Jaclyn, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16The painter Francis Picabia, born in 1879,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19was one of the leading figures in which art movement?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I don't know the answer.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Let me try...
0:16:32 > 0:16:33..photorealism.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38I don't how developed photography was at that stage.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40It's not photorealism, it is Dada.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- Sorry, Jaclyn.- OK. - You're knocked out.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Steve, well done, taken out their skipper. Will that be crucial?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Please, both of you, return to us,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Steve, Arts & Books is your best category so far.- Really?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Seven you've played, seven you've won.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Secret's out of t'bag now, in't it?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04It is out of t'bag.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07So, On The Rocks have lost three from the final round.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Don't worry - it's happened to lots of teams.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11And you can still win - that's the key thing.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13The Eggheads are still sitting there.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17It would be good to just get one out now. Just to shake them.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18So, it's Geography.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Who wants this? Mark or Euan?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I think you'd maybe be better at geography than Mark.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Who's been to the most countries? That's sometimes a guide.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Hmm...- I'll go up.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It's how many countries can he remember being in, that's the thing!
0:17:32 > 0:17:35That is true. That is partly a factor - you're right.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Is it you, Euan? - Yes, OK, I'll go for it.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39And you can have either Kevin or Judith.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Yeah, I'd like to go up against Judith, please.- Good stuff.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Euan from On The Rocks, with Judith from the Eggheads.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53All right, good luck here on Geography. Euan, first or second?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Here is your first question.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Worthing is a seaside resort on which English coast?
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Worthing.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I have relations down in the south of England, so if I get this
0:18:12 > 0:18:14wrong I'll never live it down.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18But I'm going to say the South Coast.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20The South Coast is right.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I know the stakes were high there.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24So, your first question, Judith.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28As of 2016, how many Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty
0:18:28 > 0:18:30were there in Britain?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Yes.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I think probably 46.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Right. 46 is correct.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Oh, thank goodness.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46All right. Back to you, Euan. Your second question.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51In 2016, it was announced that the international airport in Madeira
0:18:51 > 0:18:53was to be renamed after which footballer?
0:18:58 > 0:18:59OK.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I've never been there,
0:19:03 > 0:19:08but I do know that Cristiano Ronaldo comes from Madeira.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10So I'm going to go with the one I know is from Madeira,
0:19:10 > 0:19:11and I'll say Ronaldo.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Cristiano Ronaldo is the right answer, good quizzing.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19OK, Judith, your question to catch up.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Bonn, formerly the capital of West Germany, is situated on which river?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Well, it's not the Rhone, because that's in France.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Erm...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I think it might be the Rhine.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- I think it might be the Rhine. Well done.- Thank goodness for that.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Euan, your question.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Third question, could be crucial.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44The international dateline largely runs
0:19:44 > 0:19:46through which degree of longitude?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I'm going to say 90.
0:19:54 > 0:19:5590 is your answer.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Let me just see - this is a tricky one. Eggheads?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- 180.- 180, you say with great conviction, why? Why, Kevin?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Well, it runs through the middle of the Pacific,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07so you go 180 degrees east or 180 degrees west,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09if you're coming the other way.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- That's where they meet, halfway round.- And why is that 180?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Because it's halfway around the world.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Because there's 360 degrees in a circle, so it's halfway round.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I see. So, we're zero in London, Euan, and apparently you've got to
0:20:20 > 0:20:23go halfway around the world to get the dateline.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Yep, make sense. - I know, that baffled me.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28So Judith has a chance to take the round with this question.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Which city is the principal seaport of Chile?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Oh.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I don't think it's Valparaiso,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45because I think that's somewhere else.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48And that's the one I've actually heard of.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51But I can't remember where it is.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I think it might be Antofagasta.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Antofagasta is the wrong answer.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- It's Valparaiso.- Oh!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01So we go to Sudden Death. Euan, that's good, isn't it?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02- That's very good. - You're still in it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It does get a bit more tricky, though,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07because I don't give you alternatives.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09So here we go, do this for the Challengers now,
0:21:09 > 0:21:10get yourself in the final.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14St Davids is a city in which UK country?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I don't believe it's Scotland, that's for sure.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Northern Ireland...?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I would say it's between England and Wales.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29For some reason, something tells me it's something in the south...
0:21:29 > 0:21:30I'm going to say England.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I'm so sorry. It's Wales.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Yeah.- It is Britain's smallest city in terms of size and population.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I've been there - it's got a most beautiful cathedral.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I'm not imagining that, am I, Judith?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42No, I've been there, lovely cathedral.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- Absolutely extraordinary place yeah.- Yeah.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46You can take the round, Judith, with this question.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49The only one hitch is, you have to get it right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Argos is the name of a city in which European country?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Well, it could be Greece.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Or Spain.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Or Portugal or Italy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Argos.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Well, I'm going to say Greece, just in case.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10It dominated the Peloponnese in the seventh century BC,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13it's one of the oldest cities of ancient Greece. Well done, Judith.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17You've taken the round on Sudden Death. Sorry, Euan.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18St Davids - what can I say?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21At least you didn't say Scotland for that - that was good.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Yeah, I thought that was the obvious answer,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- but I thought it may be too obvious. - Yes, you avoided that very cleverly.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29You've been beaten by our Egghead, though, and won't be in the final.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33If you come back to us, both of you, we will play the final round.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35This is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37it is time for our final round.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40As always, General Knowledge.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't
0:22:42 > 0:22:44be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48So, that is Jaclyn and Andy, Graham and Euan from On The Rocks.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I'm sorry, but would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- OK, Mark, good luck.- Thank you.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You're playing to win On The Rocks £3,000.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Your team-mates all looking on, expectantly.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Steve, Pat, Kevin, Beth and Judith, you're playing for something
0:23:02 > 0:23:06that money really can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn. This time,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I was going to say, you can confer,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15but I know there's no-one to confer with!
0:23:15 > 0:23:19So, Mark, the question is, can your one brain defeat these five?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And don't say no, because we have seen it happen.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Actually, I think quite recently as well.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27So, only question for now, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35OK, Mark, our planning manager with the distillery,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37we wish you all the best here against the Eggheads.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39And here's your first question.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44What was the name of the car driven by the cousins Bo and Luke Duke
0:23:44 > 0:23:48in the 1980s US TV series The Dukes Of Hazzard?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I think, Jeremy, that's the General Lee.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It is the General Lee.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01OK, Eggheads.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06The GRA, or Grande Raccordo Anulare,
0:24:06 > 0:24:11is a ring-shaped orbital motorway around which European capital?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Can you spell all of that?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- I think it should be Rome, but... - Yeah, should be Rome.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Do you have the spelling, Jeremy?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Yeah. Grande, G-R-A-N-D-E,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Raccordo, R-A-C-C-O-R-D-O,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Anulare, A-N-U-L-A-R-E.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32And don't be put off by my accent, cos it's rubbish.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- I think it sounds like Rome. - It's Rome, it's Rome.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36If it was Madrid, it would be "gran" rather than "grande".
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Yes, exactly.- And it's not.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It's not Athens.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42So, yeah, I think...
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I mean, there is an initialled ring road around Rome,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and that sounds right.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49So, OK?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52We think that's Rome, Jeremy.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Right, we had some trouble with Spain the other day, didn't we?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Can't remember the circumstances.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00The Spanish phrase took you down in the last round.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04But, fortunately, this time you've stayed clear. Rome is right.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07So one each. Back to you, Mark.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Which a famous book features a motiveless murder,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13committed by a man named Meursault?
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Right.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I really will have to take a guess at this one, Jeremy.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30I'm going to go down the middle, with Le Petit Prince.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Right, let's just try some elimination here.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36So, A La Recherche Du Temps Perdue was a famous Proust,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39long, long thing where nothing happens.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Le Petit Prince, what about that?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Is that Oscar Wilde? - That's Saint-Exupery.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Is there a murder in that?- No.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50There's a death, but not a murder.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- It's L'Etranger.- OK.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Which is The Stranger, Judith, isn't it?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57The Outsider, that's a better translation.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Who wrote it?- Camus.- Camus.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Eggheads, you can take the lead with this.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others is a stage musical based on
0:26:10 > 0:26:12the songs of which English band?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17May well just be The Smiths.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- It's a track on t'Queen Is Dead, so, yeah.- OK.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- Happy with The Smiths? That was my thought as well.- Yeah.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Smiths?- Are we saying The Smiths? - Smiths.- Yeah.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29All right, OK.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32We think that's The Smiths, Jeremy.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33It is The Smiths.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Very famous song by them.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Right, so, they are ahead, and that means, Mark,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41you've got to get this one right to keep the contest alive.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Otherwise, it's over.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Here's your question, third question to our Challenger.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47What type of creature is the titmouse?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53OK.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Once again, I think the obvious one...
0:27:00 > 0:27:03..the description fits, obviously, bird.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Obviously, that might not be the case,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12but I'm going to go with the obvious answer, bird.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Bird is the right answer.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Well done, your team are cheering you here.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18So you've saved it.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22The only problem, I can imagine, is if the Eggheads get this right.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Otherwise we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Third question, Eggs.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30What word for a bone in the human body can also mean
0:27:30 > 0:27:36a brooch or pin used in the ancient world to fasten garments?
0:27:42 > 0:27:43- Fibula.- Fibula.- Fibula.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Which is it? - Fibula.- Fibula.- Fibula, OK.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Yeah, just like a little brooch thing.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50- OK?- Yeah.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51That is a fibula.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55If you've got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Not humerus, not scapula, the correct answer is fibula.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Commiserations, Mark. Would you have got the fibula one there?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Erm, I would have picked that one, yes.
