0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:36are the Auld Bailies from Edinburgh.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Most of this team met at university.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41They quiz together at the Bailie Bar in Stockbridge.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Neil, and I'm a commercial real estate lawyer.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Russell and I'm an employment lawyer.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Phil, I'm a private client solicitor.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Graeme and I'm a chartered surveyor.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Geoff and I'm a commercial properties solicitor.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00So, Neil and team, hello, welcome.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01- Hi, Jeremy.- Hiya. - Thanks for coming in.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Just get this clear, Auld is part of the old nickname for Edinburgh,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- is that right?- That's right, Jeremy.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Which is what? Is it Auld Reekie?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Auld Reekie, yep, yep.- Auld Reekie, OK.- Old nickname for Edinburgh.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Didn't that come up the other day, Eggs?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- We had a reference to that, I think.- We did indeed.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17And Bailie is where you quiz.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Purely the bar that we drink and quiz in.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22All right. Do you quiz together a lot?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25As often as we possibly can, maybe once a month or so.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Tremendous, tremendous.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I notice that it says here you take sports day very seriously, Neil.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33So much so that you tore your calf muscle in the dads' race.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Yes, much to the hilarity of my children and my embarrassment.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39There was a sports day near me a while back
0:01:39 > 0:01:41where somebody actually did that thing
0:01:41 > 0:01:44of - what is it, cruciate ligament or something -
0:01:44 > 0:01:45and he collapsed and all the other dads
0:01:45 > 0:01:48were just jumping over him and running on!
0:01:48 > 0:01:49So, I hear what you're saying.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I'm sensing a competitive team here.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:55 > 0:01:58for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Now, Auld Bailies, the Eggheads have won the last eight games.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05They've also had, we were thinking,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08only one player knocked out in the last three, or something amazing,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11so they're on good form - but that's good, too,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13because there's a good jackpot.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14£9,000 to play for.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Would you like to try?- Yes, please.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17- Yes, please.- Brilliant.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film and TV.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24You can choose between Beth, Chris, Pat, Barry and Lisa.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- You going to go for it? - Who's doing it first of all?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Graeme?- Yes, good.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- We're going to choose Graeme. - OK, Graeme, our chartered surveyor.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Choose an Egghead, Graeme.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Any one of the five, all looking a bit goggle-eyed.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Shall we go for Barry?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Sounds good. I'll go for Barry, please, Jeremy.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Good stuff. So, Graeme from Auld Bailies, taking on Barry,
0:02:44 > 0:02:45who loves a run out.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Yes - my last head-to-head was a Film and TV, as well.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50People have maybe got your number, Barry.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Graeme, your hobby is the great outdoors.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Yes, indeed. I really enjoy salmon fishing in particular.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Oh, so fly fishing and all of that?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Yes, that's right.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09You get out as much as you can?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I try to, but within the limits of work and being a family man.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15And I'm hoping when the weather is not so good,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17you stay in and watch films and TV?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Well, a wee bit, but we'll see how I get on.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Good luck against Barry.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Here we go. Which of these films was directed by Steven Spielberg?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38That's a good one.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43The Godfather, I'm pretty sure was Francis Ford Coppola.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Raging Bull, I have no idea.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Given the era, I'll go with Jaws please, Jeremy.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Yeah, his first really big film.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54It was Jaws, you're absolutely right.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I'm thinking - and this is just off the top of my head,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59that Raging Bull might have been Scorsese, but I don't know.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- Barry, was it?- I think it was, yes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02With Robert De Niro.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03So, Jaws is right.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Well done, Graeme. Barry, over to you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08The comedian and presenter Bill Oddie
0:04:08 > 0:04:12has become famous for presenting TV programmes on which subject?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Well, Bill Oddie is a huge fan of wildlife
0:04:17 > 0:04:19so I would guess he would be
0:04:19 > 0:04:21presenting programmes on that subject,
0:04:21 > 0:04:22so I'll go for wildlife.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Yeah, because he was Springwatch and Autumnwatch.- Absolutely.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Very good at it he is, too. Very enjoyable to watch.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29He's one of the greats. Wildlife is right.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Over to you, Graeme.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34In which TV drama series does Jerome Flynn
0:04:34 > 0:04:38play the role of the policeman, Bennett Drake?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44That's pretty tough.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I don't watch any of those programmes,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49so I'm going to hazard a guess.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I know that Gillian Anderson is in The Fall.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I don't really know the other two,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58so I'm going to go for a guess, I'm going to go for True Detective.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01True Detective is with Matthew McConaughey,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and it's an American programme.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06There could be a policeman played by Jerome Flynn, but there isn't.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- I'm afraid it's Ripper Street.- OK.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Barry, your question, to take the lead.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Mark Sinclair is the real name of which actor?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I think Brad Pitt has always been Brad Pitt. I'll go for Vin Diesel.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Yes, Vin Diesel is right.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28OK, so he's ahead, and you've got to stop him now, Graeme.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Don't get this wrong.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Where Everybody Knows Your Name
0:05:32 > 0:05:35is the theme tune to which TV sitcom?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Well, I remember this one from the '80s,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44and I'm pretty confident that it's Cheers.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It is Cheers, the great Boston -
0:05:46 > 0:05:48it was a Boston bar, wasn't it, Graeme, I think?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Yes, I think it was. - Yeah, it was brilliant.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53So, you're level, but Barry can take the round with this.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Who plays the role of the teacher Helen Justineau
0:05:57 > 0:06:01in the 2016 film The Girl With All The Gifts?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Now, I've not seen this film, so I don't know.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11I don't think it would be Emily Blunt,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13because she's been in lots of other things recently,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17so maybe she's not had time to make this film.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Just because I like watching her, I'll go for Gemma Arterton.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Gemma Arterton is the right answer.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Oh!- Your gift of the guess is amazing, Barry.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Well done, you're in the final.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Sorry, Graeme, one misstep there and you've been knocked out, I'm afraid.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- OK.- You were beaten by our Egghead and he will be in that final round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Come back to us and we'll play on.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Our Challengers, the Auld Bailies
0:06:39 > 0:06:41have lost a brain, then, from the final round.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Barry is through to the final, as he often is.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48The next subject for you is Science.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Who is the scientist in the quizzing team?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Do you want to take one for the team?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Yeah, sure.- Geoff.- Geoff's our man.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Commercial property solicitor.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Choose an Egghead - it can't be Barry.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Beth or Lisa?- Yeah.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02I'll choose Beth, please, Jeremy.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05OK, Geoff from the Auld Bailies is going in
0:07:05 > 0:07:07against Beth from the Eggheads on Science.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Please go to our Question Room now.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14OK, Geoff, Science - would you like to go first or second?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Can I go first please, Jeremy?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Yes, you can, and here we go, Geoff.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Good luck against Beth.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Which of these animals is now extinct?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Well, I was hoping there would be one that came up that I recognised.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I've never heard of a screaming hairy armadillo
0:07:40 > 0:07:42or a goblin shark,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44but I'm pretty sure that a sabre-toothed tiger is extinct
0:07:44 > 0:07:46so I'm going to go with the sabre-toothed tiger.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Sabre-toothed tiger is the right answer.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52OK, Beth, your question,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56what type of life form carries out the process of photosynthesis?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Not actually my area of expertise,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04as I drifted off in my botany lessons,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06so these are plants.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Plants is right. Photosynthesis is what, converting light into...?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Energy.- Energy.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15OK, we go back to you, Geoff.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Which of these celestial objects is a star in the Orion constellation?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I know Betelgeuse better as the 1980s film,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31but I'm going to go with Ceres.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33OK, now this is the kind of thing Barry majors on -
0:08:33 > 0:08:35or, actually, can any Egghead actually tell me?
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- It is Betelgeuse.- It is Betelgeuse - a star in Orion is Betelgeuse.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Beth, we go back to you.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45In which year was the scientist Nikola Tesla born?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56He did a lot to do with electricity, or early electricity.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00He had a lot to do with Western housing in the States
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and the Edison Western housing arguments...
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I wish I knew what year he was born, though.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Erm, so that...
0:09:08 > 0:09:13That would have been late Victorian so 1856 would be too late,
0:09:13 > 0:09:161756 probably too early, so 1806.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Let's see if the Eggheads know. Eggs?- 1856.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- 1856 is the answer. - Oh, really? Oh, OK.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24A big rival of Thomas Edison.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Yes, he was in parallel with Thomas Edison in a way.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Yeah.- OK, back to you, Geoff.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Including the core, mantle and crust,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35which element is thought to be
0:09:35 > 0:09:38the most abundant metal on earth by mass?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I think the mantle is predominantly molten iron
0:09:46 > 0:09:49so I'm going to go with iron.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Iron is right. Well played.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Back to you, Beth. You need this one to stay in.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Which of these planets in our solar system
0:09:57 > 0:09:59has a system of rings encircling it?
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Neither of the planets between us and the sun have any rings,
0:10:08 > 0:10:09so the answer's Neptune.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Neptune is right. Well played.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So, two each after three questions.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16We go to Sudden Death with the scores level.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Just to make it that bit harder, it's not multiple-choice, Geoff.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Which metallic element with the atomic number 13 was briefly more
0:10:24 > 0:10:29expensive than gold until methods of producing it much more cheaply were
0:10:29 > 0:10:32developed in the 1880s?
0:10:32 > 0:10:37I'm trying to think what might be difficult to produce
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and perhaps has become more common.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40Erm...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'm going to say aluminium.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Aluminium is the right answer.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47OK, Beth, to stay in, your question.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Atoms or molecules with at least one unpaired electron
0:10:51 > 0:10:53are commonly known as what?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I think they're ions.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- No, they're free radicals.- Oh.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Free radicals is the answer.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05You've been knocked out by our Challenger so, Geoff,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07on Sudden Death, you took the round and you will be in the final.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Sorry, Beth, you're out. Come back to us, both of you.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It's level now, it's getting exciting.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16OK, the Auld Bailies have levelled it up.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18They've lost a brain from the final round.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21The Eggheads have lost a brain, as well, and the next subject for you,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Challengers, is Arts & Books.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26I know you're good quizzers.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29We'll have someone pretending they know nothing about Arts & Books!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Like we had in the last round.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You've got English.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Russell's going to take that one.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Russell, employment lawyer.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Which Egghead, Russell?
0:11:39 > 0:11:40I'll try Lisa, please.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Russell from Auld Bailies to play Lisa on Arts & Books from the Eggheads
0:11:44 > 0:11:46and please again go to our Question Room.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I know you're a keen reader, Russell, is that right?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I try my best, when I've got time, yes.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Lovely. Did you get volunteered for Arts & Books there or...?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Yes, it wouldn't have been my first choice.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Sport would be my first choice but it's a team effort so we'll give it a go.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Russell, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Can I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10And here is your question.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14In the books by Herge, what is Tintin's job?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I don't think he was a teacher
0:12:21 > 0:12:25and I'm trying to remember the picture of him from the books.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I think I'm going to have to go for archaeologist from my vague
0:12:27 > 0:12:30recollection of what he looked like in the books.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Certainly archaeology happening in a lot of Tintin books,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36I remember that. He's actually running around as a reporter.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39OK, here's your question, Arts & Books, Lisa.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42What type of play is Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48"Oh, mistress fooled, you are undone!"
0:12:48 > 0:12:51The clue is in the word "merry," it's a comedy.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Comedy's right, Lisa takes the lead.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56OK, Russell, back to you.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59The poem, Solitude, by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
0:12:59 > 0:13:02begins with which line?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I'm desperately trying... I've heard of it before but I can't remember
0:13:14 > 0:13:16any of the detail of it so I'm just trying to
0:13:16 > 0:13:18think if any of them can be ruled out.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I think it's going to have to be a guess and I think my guess will be,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26"When you are old and grey and full of sleep."
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'm afraid that's the wrong answer.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32It is, "Laugh and the world laughs with you."
0:13:32 > 0:13:34So, Lisa, your second question.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36You can take the round with this.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40The poem called The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus
0:13:40 > 0:13:43is inscribed on which famous landmark?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Unless it's a really famous thing associated with
0:13:51 > 0:13:54one of the other two, I would have thought the percentage guess
0:13:54 > 0:13:56here was the Statue of Liberty.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I don't know where you'd inscribe anything on Big Ben,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02or the Tower of Pisa.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I'll try the Statue of Liberty.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07If you've got this right, you taken the round.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10The correct answer is the Statue of Liberty.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Well done, Lisa, you've done it again, you're in the final again.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Russell, I'm sorry, beaten by our Egghead.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20They're playing well but they are not unbeatable as a team here,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22gentlemen. Come back to us, both of you,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25and we'll see what happens in the last round before the final.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30As it stands, Auld Bailies have lost two brains from the final round.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33The Eggheads have lost one, so this is probably the moment to pitch
0:14:33 > 0:14:35into them and level it up.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38The last round before the final is History.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- So, whose is this?- By default, that's me, Jeremy.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46OK, it's going to be Phil, our solicitor, against,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48you can choose either Pat or Chris.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- I'm thinking Chris.- Chris.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Chris, please.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53So, it's going to be Phil from the Auld Bailies
0:14:53 > 0:14:55against Chris on history.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Mm-hm.- To ensure there's no conferring,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00would you please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Chris, I know you love your History rounds.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- I like them, yeah.- And you've done 78 history rounds in the history of
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Eggheads?- Have I?- Yeah.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Which is a heck of a lot, and you've won a heck of a lot.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- 68.- So, I've dropped ten.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Not bad.- I worked that out, yeah, ten,
0:15:16 > 0:15:21so we'll find out now if it's going to be 11 or 69.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23OK, Phil, good luck against Chris.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26He's got his weak points but he's got his strong points as well.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35And here we go then with your first History question.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Which US President is often referred to as the father of his nation?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I really wish I'd done O-grade, which I didn't.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I'm between Lincoln and Washington,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I'm not sure.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I'm going to go for Abraham Lincoln.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I think... I'll defer to the Eggs on this,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Chris can tell us. Lincoln was later, Chris, wasn't he?- Mmm.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04George Washington was the first actual president
0:16:04 > 0:16:07of the United States as we know it but he wasn't the first
0:16:07 > 0:16:09American president because there were presidents
0:16:09 > 0:16:12of the American Confederation before that but George Washington
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- is father of the nation.- Yes, father of his nation is George Washington.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18OK, Chris, your question.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Which of these historic figures was a king of England,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Norway and Denmark?
0:16:27 > 0:16:28That was Canute, Jeremy.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Was he the one who sat by the seaside?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Well, his courtiers had been flattering him something rotten
0:16:35 > 0:16:38that he could command the sea,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41so he had his throne placed on the seashore for the tide to come in
0:16:41 > 0:16:44and wet him and he said, "Look, it wets me the same as it'll wet you."
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- It's Canute, yeah. - Canute is correct.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50OK, Phil, to get on the scoresheet, here we go.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55In Roman society, what name was given to slaves who were trained as teachers?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03I don't know, again. I'm going to answer Pedagogue.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I'm glad you did, you're right. Pedagogue is right.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I've always wondered what that word meant.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Thank you for helping me. So, you're level.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Chris, you can take the lead with this question.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17How old was Napoleon Bonaparte when he died?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Hang on.
0:17:24 > 0:17:281769 to 1822.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30That's 31.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33It's 52.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Yes, 52 is right.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39So, it's 2-1
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and you need to get this one right, Phil, to stay in.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Who was the head of the Allies' Fighter Command
0:17:46 > 0:17:49during World War II's Battle of Britain?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56You'll be surprised to hear I'm not sure.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00The only name that rings any sort of bell
0:18:00 > 0:18:04is the middle one so I'm going to answer, David Stirling.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08David Stirling. OK, this is the kind of question that Chris loves.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Chris, go on.- David Stirling actually founded the SAS,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14it grew out of the long range desert group in North Africa.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Bill Slim was actually the Field Marshal in charge in Burma
0:18:18 > 0:18:19during the retaking of Burma
0:18:19 > 0:18:22but the head of the Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain
0:18:22 > 0:18:24was Stuffy Dowding, Hugh Dowding.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Hugh Dowding is the right answer so, Phil, sorry,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29your team have to lose you from the final. Chris has knocked you out.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It means that it's advantage Eggheads in the final
0:18:32 > 0:18:35but no way are these Challengers out of it.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Please return to us, gentlemen.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39We'll play the final round for £9,000.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47It is time for the final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:18:49 > 0:18:52to take part in this round. So, that's Russell,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Phil and Graeme from the Auld Bailies
0:18:55 > 0:18:56and Beth from the Eggheads.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Would you please now leave the studio.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04OK, Neil and Geoff, you're playing to win Auld Bailies £9,000.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Lisa, Barry, Pat and Chris,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10the Eggheads' reputation, but also,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13to get the jackpot to £10,000
0:19:13 > 0:19:16so we can see Barry's celebratory jazz hands.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Don't do it yet!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Gents, you can confer.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26So, Neil and Geoff, the question is,
0:19:26 > 0:19:31can your two brains defeat these four and stop this infuriating roll
0:19:31 > 0:19:34that they're on? Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Let's go first.- We'd like to go first, Jeremy.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Here we go with your first question.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45The Glitter Ball trophy is the prize awarded to the winner
0:19:45 > 0:19:47of which TV reality show?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Well, we think this is maybe one that's evaded you, Jeremy,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59but we're thinking Strictly Come Dancing.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Ah, the pain of that!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Yes, you're right on both counts.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Strictly Come Dancing. Well done.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10OK, Eggheads.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Medicare and Medicaid are government health insurance schemes
0:20:15 > 0:20:16in which country?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- USA.- For the moment anyway!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Are you all happy with that?- Mm.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26That's the USA, Jeremy.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Yes, it is, Pat, USA well done.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29So, one each.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33£9,000, we're playing for, and here's your second question.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Who won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Definitely?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45We think that was Bob Dylan, Jeremy.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Bob Dylan is the right answer.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Eggheads, your second question.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Bruxism is the technical term for what?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57This is B-R-U-X-I-S-M.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Teeth grinding.- Yeah.- 100%.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- It's teeth grinding. - Somnambulism is sleepwalking,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- I don't know about nail-biting.- Onychophagia.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It's teeth grinding.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14What did you say was nail-biting?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- I think it's onychophagia. - Onychophagia.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20You've said teeth grinding and that is the correct answer.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23You've got to make their teeth grind, Challengers.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Stop them getting the jackpot to 10,000 because then they just start walking with a swagger!
0:21:29 > 0:21:32So, get this right, you've played well so far in the final round.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Get this right and the pressure's definitely on them.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Here's your question, your third question.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41In Norse mythology, who was the father of the god, Balder?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Which is B-A-L-D-E-R.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Do you have any idea? - Not immediately.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Loki, I've not heard of.- No.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Thor is the king of the gods.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Odin - thunder?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I don't think so.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- I'm leaning towards Odin.- Mm.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Yeah?- We're in trouble here.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16Not one we know, Jeremy, but we're going to plump for Odin.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18OK, that's Geoff,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22just saying Odin off, I was trying to work out the logic.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Um, Thor feels like the chief god
0:22:27 > 0:22:29and I don't think that would be the answer.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Loki, I'm not as familiar with
0:22:32 > 0:22:34so, um, it's...
0:22:34 > 0:22:35I see the logic.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39You've got it right, so you've got three out of three.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Odin is the right answer.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Eggheads, if you get this wrong, we reset the jackpot,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49we give £9,000 away and you go home in tears.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Here's your third question.
0:22:51 > 0:22:57Full Moon Fever is a bestselling 1980s album by which singer?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I have no idea at all, I'm afraid.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- 1980s?- JEREMY: Full Moon Fever.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12It doesn't ring a bell for Bruce Springsteen with me.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17I could be wrong but it doesn't register as a Springsteen album.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Smokey Robinson is classic.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21It sounds Tom Petty sort of stuff.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24The Moon is a bit rural, it could be Tom Petty.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It could be Smokey Robinson, Full Moon Fever.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Of the three, Tom Petty.- It seems to have a ring of Tom Petty.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- A bit of a guess though. - It's more Tom Petty-ish.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Smokey Robinson's more Motown-ish and Springsteen's the Boss.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I think we can sort of discount Springsteen
0:23:40 > 0:23:43and then we're just reduced to a pick between the other two.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- And...- My vote's for Petty.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Anybody else?- Petty.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51If you'd ask me and I was on my own, I would have said Petty.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53OK, that's what we're doing.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56We haven't heard of the album.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01We're binning Bruce Springsteen and we're picking Tom Petty.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Full Moon.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Does that take us back to the '50s and that kind of Smokey Robinson
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Motown thing that's almost ageless?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13No, it doesn't, you're quite right, it's Tom Petty.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Tom Petty is the answer, so after three questions,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19we now go to Sudden Death.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Just remember to make it that bit harder, I don't give you alternatives,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25OK? So, think about each answer before you say it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Which city has a district called Kelvinside,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30known for a distinctive accent?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34I think we're sitting pretty confident.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38I think we'd be disappointed if we got this one wrong.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40We think it's possibly Glasgow.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42It is indeed, Glasgow.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45There have been lots of visiting teams who've messed that one up,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47let me tell you. Glasgow's right.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49OK, Eggheads, again on the back foot here.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52They have not got a question wrong so far in the final round.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Here is your question.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Sudden Death. £9,000, the jackpot.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02In the 1930s, the Queen's house in Greenwich, designed by Inigo Jones,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05became part of which National museum?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- The National Maritime Museum is there.- Yeah.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I'm pretty certain it's that, yeah.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, yeah.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14No rival brands? No?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I'm pretty confident on that one.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Shall we go with it?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21And the phrasing is just National Maritime Museum? Yeah?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24OK, we're going for the National Maritime Museum.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26National Maritime Museum is quite right,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30so level still in the final, Sudden Death, £9,000.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Gustavus Adolphus, who was known as the Lion of the North,
0:25:35 > 0:25:41was the king of which European country in the 17th century?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Norway, Denmark or Sweden?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52No, I think you may be overthinking about north.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Gustavus Adolphus sounds more dramatic.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm thinking...
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Sorry, could we ask you to repeat the question please, Jeremy?
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Gustavus Adolphus, who was known as the Lion of the North,
0:26:08 > 0:26:14was the king of which European country in the 17th century?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Too early for Germany?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- I'm thinking Prussia.- Prussia.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Does that spring to mind?- Yeah.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22No pressure!
0:26:22 > 0:26:26OK, a stab in the dark here but we're going to try Prussia.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29OK, let's just check with the Eggheads.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31They've said Prussia, are they right?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33No, it's Sweden.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35It is Sweden, so you were tracking north.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38They were on the right lines when you started thinking like that.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Sweden is the answer, which gives the Eggheads, all four of them,
0:26:42 > 0:26:43a chance here to take the contest.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Who was serving as British Prime Minister when Richard Nixon became president of the USA?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53That's 1970.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Would that be Harold Wilson?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- It could be.- Let's make sure.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Is it definitely 1970?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Our elections and their inaugurations...
0:27:05 > 0:27:08The inauguration is what marks the reign of a president
0:27:08 > 0:27:12and that's January, so we think that's January '70?
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Yes, I think it's '70.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17They would hold the election in '69, would they?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19No, they hold them in even years.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Kennedy's election was in 1960.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25So, 60, 64, 68.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30If you're counting it from election then it probably is late '70s.
