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
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.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths are the Washing Powders.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38This team from Lancashire take their name from the fact
0:00:38 > 0:00:41that their team consists of biological
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and nonbiological family members, so let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Matt, and I'm a branch manager of a plumbers' merchant.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Kerry, and I'm a photographer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Charlene, and I'm a pharmacy technician.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, my name's Gavin, and I'm a training instructor.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Paul, and I'm a company director.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- So, Matt and team, welcome. - Hi.- Thanks for coming in.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05So, biological and nonbiological. I love the name.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Just explain the connections, then.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- So, Kerry's my fiancee.- Uh-huh.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Gavin and Charlene are her siblings.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- And Paul is their stepfather.- OK.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Clitheroe is also the connection here, isn't it?- Yes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Tell us about Clitheroe, Lancashire. What sort of a place?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Yeah, it's nice.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26It's a small market town.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Famous, I suppose, for the castle and the Pendle witches, perhaps.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32The Pendle witches?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Do the Pendle witches ever come up in quizzes, Eggheads?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- You might have heard of them. - The Lancashire witches.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Are they the Lancashire witches? - Yeah, I suppose so. Yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44But they're more connected with Pendle Hill.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46But you didn't call yourselves the Pendle Witches?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- No, maybe we should have done! - Good luck, team.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:52 > 0:01:54up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57However, as you know, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Now, Washing Powders, biological and nonbiological,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04the Eggheads have won the last three,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07so they're starting to move here
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and they're starting to feel confident,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and you need to stop them, and there's £4,000 if you can.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Would you like to try and win it? - Absolutely.- Good stuff.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of sport.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20You can have Judith, Steve, Kevin, Pat or Dave.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Am I taking him on?- First up.- Yeah.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Who do you want me to take on? - I'd say Judith.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- That's perfect for this round. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I'm going to take that, Jeremy.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33And I would like to take on Judith, if possible.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36OK, our company director, Paul, from the Washing Powders,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39taking on our free spirit...
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Thank you. - ..from the Eggheads, young Judith.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So, of the many sports, Paul, I gather golf is your favourite.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53It certainly is, Jeremy.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Yes, I used to play professionally, actually.- Wow!
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So you made a living playing golf?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01That sounds like almost the best job imaginable.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I'm not 100% sure I made a living out of it,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05hence I'm not doing it any more!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08But I'll continue to play and enjoy it, definitely.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12And I gather, at one point your handicap was one, which is amazing.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14It still is one at the moment.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Judith, when somebody says their handicap is one,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- do you understand that? - Well, it's very low.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21You're playing off a very low handicap, which is a good thing.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- It's a sign they're very good. - Yeah.- More than that, I do not know.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26No. I don't, really, either.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30What's the highest handicap, cos mine would be about 70?
0:03:30 > 0:03:36I think you start around 36, something like that for a man.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37That's me, yep.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39OK, sport, Paul. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I'd love to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46And here we go with your first question.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50On a tennis court, the mid-court area formed by the junction
0:03:50 > 0:03:53of the service line and the centre service line
0:03:53 > 0:03:56is known by which letter of the alphabet?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Well, seeing as they're straight lines,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'll discount W.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09F doesn't look like something that you see on a tennis court.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10So I'm going to go with T.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Yeah, it's the T. I think there's a T in squash as well, isn't there?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Yes.- OK, Judith, your question.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Which of these is an offence in rugby union?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Why would travelling be an offence, whatever that is?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I don't think it's a good idea to collapse the maul,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34so I'm going to say collapsing the maul.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Collapsing the maul is an offence.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Travelling is an offence in basketball, Judith.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41That means moving with the ball, which you can't do.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45And rocket handball is a thing you do in Aussie rules football,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47but it's not an offence.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Oh, I see. So the only one in rugby is collapsing the maul?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Collapsing the maul is the right answer.- Yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Paul, your question. What is the name of the hacking group
0:04:57 > 0:05:00that created headlines in September 2016
0:05:00 > 0:05:04by releasing details of the use of drugs in international sport?
0:05:09 > 0:05:16I remember the story, but I don't remember the name.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Just because Jazzy Badgers is so out there,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I've got to eliminate that.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I think I will go straight down the middle, if you don't know,
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Party Pigs.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26It's Fancy Bears.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Oh!- Fancy Bears.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32OK, Judith, you can take the lead here.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Aaron Ramsey and which other Wales footballer
0:05:35 > 0:05:38was included in UEFA's Team of the Tournament
0:05:38 > 0:05:41at the 2016 European Championships?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49And he was Welsh? Williams is a good old Welsh name, isn't it?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I'm going to say Ashley Williams.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Joe Allen.- Oh.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56So, level after two questions.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58That's quite a good one for you, Paul.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Get this right, put some pressure on Judith.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03In 2016, Danny Houghton became the first player
0:06:03 > 0:06:07from which rugby league club to win the annual Man Of Steel award?
0:06:11 > 0:06:18Well, I think in 2016 Wigan won the championship,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20so I'm going to go with Wigan.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I'm afraid it's Hull FC.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26First player from Hull FC to win the Man Of Steel.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Judith, you can take the round with this.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33At which sport did Jack Beresford compete for Britain
0:06:33 > 0:06:38at five Olympic Games between 1920 and 1936,
0:06:38 > 0:06:42winning three gold and two silver medals?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50OK, which of those sports can you go on for a long time?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54I think rowers, funnily enough, have quite a long sporting life.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I'm going to say rowing.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Rowing is the right answer, Judith. Well done.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02You've won again on sport.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's maybe not habit yet, but it's certainly happening a lot.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I thought I'd won more sports rounds than anybody else put together.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Let me just check on the numbers,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14cos it's worth us reminding ourselves of that fact.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15But sorry, Paul.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18She can be effective on sport, to say the least.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- The question didn't fall right. - Judith, you're in the final.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Paul, you're out, but it's early days. Please return to your teams.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25We'll play on.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Judith, well done.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Sport, winning again,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31and just looking at your figures - quite remarkable.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You've won 129 sporting rounds,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36which is more than any other Egghead.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38In second place is Kevin with 86.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You've beaten a politician at politics,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43a rocket scientist at science,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and you've now beaten a former professional sportsman at sport.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Golly.- Sorry, Paul, you became part of our statistics.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- You've made me feel a lot better, Jeremy. Thank you.- Sorry.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53You are in good company.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55As it stands, the Washing Powders
0:07:55 > 0:07:57have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59The Eggheads, thanks to Judith, have not lost one yet.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Try and get one out now on arts & books.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Who would like this?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Are you OK to do it, Kerry?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Go for it.- Who shall I take?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Charlene, is it? Or Kerry?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Kerry.- Kerry, OK. And anyone but Judith.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18You choose who you think looks as if they've misplaced their e-reader.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I don't know. I'll take...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Pat or Dave? - I'll take Dave, please.- Yep.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25He may have a bit of a lost look today. I don't know.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Kerry from the Washing Powders
0:08:27 > 0:08:29to play Dave, Tremendous Knowledge Dave, from the Eggheads.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Please go, both of you, to our Question Room.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Kerry, all the best for you on art & books against Dave.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go second, please.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44OK, your question.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Dave, which term is used to describe the arrangement of elements
0:08:47 > 0:08:49within a work of art?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I'll go composition, please.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Composition is the right answer.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Kerry, which of these works of art
0:09:00 > 0:09:05has been credited as the work of Alexandros of Antioch?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I don't think it's Venus de Milo.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'll go for Girl With A Pearl Earring, please.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Girl With A Pearl Earring is the wrong answer.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Venus de Milo is the answer we're looking for.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24OK, Dave.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25You're in the lead.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28The sculpture by David Shrigley
0:09:28 > 0:09:32unveiled on Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth in 2016
0:09:32 > 0:09:36is of a giant hand making which gesture?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I don't know this.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45It passed me by, but of those,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49I would have thought V for victory on the fourth plinth, myself,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52so I'm going to go V for victory, please.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- It's thumbs up.- OK.- So...
0:09:55 > 0:09:57that's a bit handy, Kerry.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00If you get this one right, you draw level.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05In two memorable 17th-century paintings by Artemisia Gentileschi,
0:10:05 > 0:10:09what is the name of the woman seen to be 'Slaying Holofernes'?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13And by the way, in the question,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16the words 'Slaying Holofernes' are in inverted commas,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19as if they are the title of something.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I'll go with...
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Judith, please.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Judith is the right answer. Well done.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31All right. So, the score is level. One each.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Tremendous Knowledge Dave, your third question.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Jeanette Winterson's 2015 novel The Gap Of Time
0:10:37 > 0:10:40is a reimagining of which of Shakespeare's plays?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Again, this has passed me by. I'm having a...
0:10:47 > 0:10:49a few moments here.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51No, I can't get a handle on this at all.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I'm going to go Romeo And Juliet.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- It's The Winter's Tale.- Right, OK.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00You've got a line in sight of goal here, Kerry.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Just this one question will get you in the final.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Which Booker Prize-winning novel was written by Graham Swift?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14I'll go for...
0:11:14 > 0:11:17The Finkler Question, please.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Last Orders is the answer, Kerry. - Mm-hm.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23So not to worry, you're not out,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26but the scores are level and we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27- Are you ready for this?- Yeah.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Sudden Death, I don't give you alternatives. Dave, your question.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34The Parisian mansion known as the Hotel Biron
0:11:34 > 0:11:37on the Rue de Varenne
0:11:37 > 0:11:42houses a museum dedicated to the work of which famous sculptor?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44The only one I can think of is Auguste...
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Auguste Rodin.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Auguste Rodin is correct.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51OK, Kerry, to stay in,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55which book by Robert M Pirsig starts with the line,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57"I can see by my watch
0:11:57 > 0:12:00"without taking my hand from the left grip of the cycle
0:12:00 > 0:12:02"that it is 8.30 in the morning"?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I have no idea.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I have no idea, so I'm just going to say...
0:12:11 > 0:12:15The Great Race? I don't know.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- It's not The Great Race. Do you know this, Dave?- Robert M Pirsig?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- I've not heard of it at all. - I think it's a famous one-off book.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Any Eggheads know this?- Steve.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- It's called Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance.- Oh, right.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Kerry, sorry, you've been knocked out by Dave.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Dave, well done.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35On Sudden Death you've taken the round and you will be in the final.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Kerry and Dave, come back, rejoin your teams,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40we'll see what the next round brings.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43As it stands, the Washing Powders
0:12:43 > 0:12:45have lost two brains from the final round.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46The Eggheads have not lost any,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49so it's time to put them through the tumble dryer, OK?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51The next subject is history.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Matt and team, who wants this?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- It's the subject we didn't want. - I know.- You didn't want this?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- No, it was one of the bad ones. - Who's the top quizzer?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- I think it might be better if you do it.- Yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Just cos of what potentially could come next in the subjects.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Yeah.- Is that all right?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'm not that good on history, but I'm going to attempt it.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Go for it. Why not? Why not?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Who would you like to take on, Charlene?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Probably Steve, please.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20OK, Charlene from the Washing Powders
0:13:20 > 0:13:23against probably Steve from the Eggheads.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Definitely Steve.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Good luck against Steve.- Thank you. - One of our newest Eggheads.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Would you like to go first or second, Charlene?
0:13:34 > 0:13:35I'll go first, please.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40And here we go.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Napoleon Bonaparte had how many marriages?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I don't think he was married that many times.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I'm not too sure, but I'll just say two.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Two is the right answer.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Steve...
0:13:56 > 0:13:58King Edward the Confessor
0:13:58 > 0:14:02was part of a dynasty imposed by which group of settlers in Britain?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Edward the Confessor, you say? - Edward the Confessor.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I think that must be the Danes.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15You said that with such conviction, but it's not the answer I've got.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Eggheads, you want to tell him or shall I?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Anglo-Saxon.- He was an Anglo-Saxon. - Anglo-Saxons.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Oh.- So this is...
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I won't say brilliant, Charlene, but it's looking certainly better
0:14:26 > 0:14:28than it might have been a few minutes ago.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Don't jinx it. - No, I'm not going to jinx it.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Which king, Charlene, is known to have made
0:14:34 > 0:14:38first use of three lions or leopards
0:14:38 > 0:14:41as his arms on the Great Seal of England?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I've got a feeling it might be George II.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I'm not 100%,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53but I'll go for George II.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I'm sorry, it is Richard I.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Steve, to get you on the scoresheet, level you up.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Which of these towns was one of the five
0:15:02 > 0:15:06that originally made up the so-called Cinque Ports?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08And Cinque is C-I-N-Q-U-E.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Right, well, hopefully I've woken up after that first question,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and I'm pretty sure that's Hastings.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Hastings is the right answer.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Back on track. So, level.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Here we are, Charlene, this could be crucial, could be your moment.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31Which of these monarchs was over 6'6" in height?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Again, sorry, I've got no idea.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41So, I'm just going to have to guess.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Louis XIV of France. - Louis XIV of France.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49This is a difficult question. Steve, do you know this?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I think by virtue of being called "the Great",
0:15:51 > 0:15:53it was Peter the Great of Russia.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56It is Peter the Great of Russia. We're not out yet, Charlene.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Fingers crossed here. Steve might slip up.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Third question to you, Steve.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04In medieval Europe, the Church specifically allowed
0:16:04 > 0:16:09the tails of which creatures to be consumed during Lent.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Right.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I've never heard that before. Um...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I don't know how much nourishment you get from a squirrel's tail.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Nearly all fur.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Maybe the pig. I know they eat all of the pig.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31But beaver is quite a substantial thing, if you could actually eat it.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Purely because you get a better meal out of a beaver's tail,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I'll say beaver.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Apparently, beaver's tails look like fish
0:16:39 > 0:16:43and you're allowed to eat fish during Lent, not red meat.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Yeah.- Beavers is the right answer, Steve. You've won.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Charlene, sorry.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50You started really well there, but ended up
0:16:50 > 0:16:54being knocked out by our Egghead, so you won't be in the final round.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55And if you come back to us,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57we'll play the very last round before the final.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02So, as it stands, the Washing Powders have lost three brains
0:17:02 > 0:17:04from the final round.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06No panic yet.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Possibly in a few minutes.- Yeah! - I don't know.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Honestly, people have won from this position, so keep encouraged.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16The Eggheads are still sitting there, all five of them.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Let's see what happens in our last round before the final. It's music.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22So, Washing Powders,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25it's going to be Gavin or the skipper?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- It's going to be the skipper. - OK, Matt.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Matt on music, against which Egghead?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You can have Pat or Kevin, the big beasts.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'll take on Pat, please.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39So, Matt from the Washing Powders takes on Pat from the Eggheads.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42To ensure there's no conferring, please, for the last time,
0:17:42 > 0:17:43go to the Question Room.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Good luck, Matt, on music. Would you like to go first or second?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48I'll go first, please.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Here we go, let's try and get the skipper into the final round.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01In 1985, I Got You Babe was a UK number one for UB40,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03featuring which female singer?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09In 1985?
0:18:09 > 0:18:15I somehow can't place Kylie in that song.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16So I'll rule her out.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I don't remember it being Annie Lennox,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21so I'll say Chrissie Hynde.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Yeah, it was Chrissie Hynde, well done.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Pat, your question.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30The singers called Laine, Avalon and Vaughan,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34who all had solo UK hits in the 1950s,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36shared which first name?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Frankie Laine, Frankie Avalon.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It's Frankie.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Frankie is the right answer, well done.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Matt,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Oom-Pah-Pah is the title of a song from which well-known musical?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Oom-Pah-Pah?!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I do remember the song,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02but I can't say that I've seen Oklahoma!
0:19:02 > 0:19:04or Hello, Dolly!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07The only one I've seen is Oliver! so I'll plump for that.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10That's quite a good way of eliminating,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12and the answer's right, it is.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Good play.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17OK, Pat is ahead.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Which singer called herself The Elusive Chanteuse
0:19:21 > 0:19:24in the title of her 2014 album?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31That doesn't really describe Madonna,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34unless she's reinvented herself yet again.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I think I'd have heard of it if it had been Lady Gaga.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I'll have to go for Mariah Carey.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I haven't heard of this.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Mariah Carey is right. Well done.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So, you're level. We go back to you, Matt.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Which composer was director of the State Opera House in Vienna
0:19:53 > 0:20:00between 1897 and 1907, but completed no operas himself?
0:20:06 > 0:20:12Mm. Unfortunately, this isn't a strong point of my music.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I'll say Richard Strauss.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Let's see, anyone on your team know?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Is it Gustav?- We both guessed at Strauss, didn't we?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- But we don't know.- A bit of Strauss, Charlene saying Gustav.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Gustav Mahler is the right answer. So you've got two out of three.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Let's see if it's enough to take you through to Sudden Death.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35If Pat gets this right, he's in the final round.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41Pat, Philip Selway has found fame as the drummer with which band?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48My first instinct is it might be Radiohead.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I don't think it's Oasis.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Yes, I think of those three, I think I prefer Radiohead.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55Yeah, you got it absolutely right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Philip Selway did find fame with Radiohead, you're quite right, Pat.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02And you are in the final round. Sorry, Matt.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03I bet you like Radiohead as well.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they've done some very good stuff.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08You may not want to hear them for a while.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Pat has knocked you out.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Come back to us, gentlemen, we will play the final round.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16OK, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18It is time for our final round
0:21:18 > 0:21:20and, as always, we do general knowledge.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:23 > 0:21:25won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27So, all from this side, I'm afraid.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Matt, Kerry, Charlene, and Paul from the Washing Powders,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Well, Gavin, good luck. I know this is not quite the strategy
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- that the Washing Powders had put together.- Not quite.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44You are alone playing to win the Washing Powders £4,000,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46and you can do it, no question.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Dave, Pat, Kevin, Steve, Judith,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51you're playing for something that money really can't buy,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58This time, they're all general knowledge,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01I'm sorry that doesn't help you.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Gavin, the question is, can you,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05with your one brain, defeat these five?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- I'll give it my best go. - I'm glad you say that.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10All your team-mates looking on, wishing you all the best.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'd like to go first. Yes, please.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Here we go. If the letters BO stand for buyout,
0:22:20 > 0:22:26for what does the letter L stand in the financial abbreviation LBO?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30LBO.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34So, legal buyout wouldn't seem to follow the trend there.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Loaned would go along with the financial,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39but I'm kind of leaning towards leveraged.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42So I'm going to take that as my answer, please.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Leveraged is completely right, well done.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46OK.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Eggheads, all five of you.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52In the 1980s, which actor received an Oscar nomination
0:22:52 > 0:22:54in three consecutive years,
0:22:54 > 0:22:58winning for his role in Kiss Of The Spider Woman?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- William Hurt.- Yeah. - William Hurt.- Yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07That was William Hurt.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11William Hurt is correct. Gavin, your question.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14What is the term for the rotation of an aeroplane
0:23:14 > 0:23:16along its vertical axis
0:23:16 > 0:23:21so that its longitudinal axis deviates from the flight line?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I've got quite a few friends that are engineers who build planes,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30so I'm sure they'll know the answer.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I'm going to rule out yelp. I don't think that fits the...
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It's just between yip and yaw.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40I'm going to go with yaw, as a guess.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Yaw is correct.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- Oh!- Two out of two. Your team-mates are loving this.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Next question for the Eggheads.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52The French shoe designer Christian Louboutin was born in which decade?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58It's definitely not '80s.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Judith, what time period do you think he's been around for
0:24:01 > 0:24:02in terms of the...?
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Well, I think he became sort of well-known in sort of '80s, '90s,
0:24:07 > 0:24:12and I think that creative people often become quite famous early on.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Yeah. So it could be the '60s.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18So I'd bet on the '60s, born in the '60s.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Right, OK.- I've seen a documentary about him. Charming man.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Is it the chap that was born on an island? A European island?
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- He zooms around Paris on the back of a moped.- Nowadays?
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- From shore to shore. He's quite a jolly fellow.- What's he look like?
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- Um...- I mean, how old does he look? - He looks older than...
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- He's not white-haired and wobbly? - Well...
0:24:40 > 0:24:44I'm trying to think how much white there is in his stubble.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45He's a tricky one.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Yeah. He's a hard guy to...age. It's tricky.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I have a faint memory of what he looks like and it's not obvious.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55He doesn't have a head of silver hair or anything.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- What are you thinking, Steve? - What's his hair like? Dark?
0:24:59 > 0:25:04- I'm half-tempted by- '40s. OK. - Are you?- And Judith, '60s.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09- Go with the majority.- Well, I feel slightly uncertain, I have to say.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Go for the 1960s, shall we?- OK.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14We don't think it's as late as the 1980s.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16We think he's older than that.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18So, it's a 50-50, really,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21but we're going to go with the 1960s.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Right, and one of you said 1940s, or maybe two.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Steve was going 1940s.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Apparently he was born on an island. - Yeah, yeah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30No, he was born in Paris, actually.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Oh! Right. - His breakthrough year was 1991.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- You went the right way. - Well done, well done.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- 1960s is right.- I must be thinking of somebody else.- I love the...
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Somebody asking somebody else, "What's his hair like?"
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It was desperate strokes there. Goodness me.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I thought you had it there, I really thought you had them.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53But they took care, because it means a lot to them, this.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58So, 1960s and still level, no wrong answers yet, final round.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01£4,000 we're playing for.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05And here is your...what could be a crucial question, Gavin.
0:26:05 > 0:26:11The Girl With Enamel Eyes is the subtitle of which ballet?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I'm immediately drawn to The Sleeping Beauty.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I feel like it fits.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21I don't know the answer.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It's not really something I know too much about.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29Swan Lake I'm going to rule out, not for any logical reason.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Coppelia, I don't really know what that's about.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I generally know the story between Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I'm going to go with Sleeping Beauty
0:26:36 > 0:26:38cos that's the one I was drawn to initially.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42And it's hard when you're not conferring. The answer is Coppelia.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Is it a doll, then?- Yeah.- Is that the point of Coppelia?- Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51She's not human. She is a doll who's been made of various parts.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55OK, so that was the girl, those were the enamel eyes.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Let's see what happens now.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Eggheads, if you get this right, you've won the contest.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03The shoebilled stork, also known as the whalehead,
0:27:03 > 0:27:08which has a large, remarkably shoe-shaped bill,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10is native to which continent?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Africa leaps out.- The Sudan.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16- Upper Nile.- Yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- My instinct... - OK, that's fine with me.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Happy with Africa? - Yeah, for definite.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- We were thinking that before. OK? - OK, yeah.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28We'll be a bit quicker on this one.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30We think that's Africa.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31What is the answer here?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35You said Africa. If you are right, the contest is over.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You've said it with some certainty, which is often a sign.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39And, yes, the answer is Africa.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48You played a tight game there
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- right until the third question, Gavin.- Yes.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Right till that wretched Coppelia. - I'll have to watch some more ballet.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And you quizzed well.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Even with the shoe question,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01you got there with a bit of... maybe not certainty,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03with assurance, let's say.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06So, commiserations, Washing Powders. Gavin, I hope you enjoyed coming.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- Absolutely.- Thanks, everyone backstage. Great to see you.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15and you reign supreme over Quizland.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19It does mean that the challengers don't go home with the £4,000,
0:28:19 > 0:28:23so we'll take that money and we will roll it over to our next show,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25add it to the prize. Eggheads, well done.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I wonder if you can be beaten, actually, in this form,
0:28:28 > 0:28:30when there are five of you. Pretty stunning.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:36have the brains to take them down. It's going to be £5,000 to win.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
