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 pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads!
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Taking on our awesome quiz champions are Throws Before Bros.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Now, this team all play for the University of Oxford netball club.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Catherine.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I'm a philosophy, politics and economics student.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Hannah, and I'm studying medicine.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Charlotte, and I'm a PhD student.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Frankie, and I'm a languages student.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Hebe, and I'm an English student.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58So, Catherine, team, hello, welcome.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59- Hi.- Good to see you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And netball is the centre of your lives?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Yeah, so we train four times a week altogether,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06and we have weekly matches as well.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07And I saw a story that you got up...
0:01:07 > 0:01:10You were so certain you had to get to the court at two in the morning.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Oh, yeah, in my first year I was so enthusiastic
0:01:13 > 0:01:14that I misread my clock,
0:01:14 > 0:01:15got to training at 2am
0:01:15 > 0:01:18and only realised when I looked at my phone that it was actually 6am,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20and the sports hall was locked, so...
0:01:20 > 0:01:21So you were four hours early?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Yeah.- You went straight back to bed?- Yeah.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26And, just to check, Throws Before Bros
0:01:26 > 0:01:30means that you would rather play netball than...
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Like, hang out with our friends.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35So our friends always make fun of us cos we seem to spend our entire
0:01:35 > 0:01:37lives at netball, and prioritise it over anything else.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Netball the centre of your lives,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41and you've got the subject ranges covered here.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43You've got science, you've got a bit of books...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Yeah, we've got a lot of science and a mixture of humanities as well.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Good, excellent. And Oxford University too, so...
0:01:49 > 0:01:51OK, game on. Good luck.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Now, Throws Before Bros,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04the Eggheads have played really well in the last few games,
0:02:04 > 0:02:05so we now have £10,000 to play for.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09When the jackpot goes above 10, Barry does jazz hands. Barry?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13He's actually been practising that!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16What do you think, would he be a good netball player?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- I'm not sure!- It looks like he's got a good defence, sort of!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I don't know what that is, but anyway...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23It means that they're on a roll and you've got to stop them.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Would you like to try?- Yes.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Excellent. The first head-to-head battle
0:02:27 > 0:02:29will be on the subject of Geography,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and you can choose between Beth, Chris, Pat, Steve and Barry.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34What's your favourite?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Me, Frankie and Charl are quite good at geography.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- It's true.- But... - Frankie's really good at food,
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- so we want to keep her if they come up with food.- Oh, that's true.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45But we've got another scientist.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46This is very stressful.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Because if it goes Science, Geography...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Charl, you're international, you've got this.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- OK. Sure.- So Charlotte is from New Zealand, right?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Yes, yes, I am.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58We had an Auckland question the other day.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Did you?- So not out of the question.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Embarrassingly, I probably wouldn't have known the answer!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04We'll see how we go.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So, Charlotte, who would you like to take on?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07You can have any of them.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I'm going to go with Barry, because I love the shirt, it's great.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Oh, thank you. - We'll go with Barry for the shirt.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15He'll be pleased, he loves to play.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17So, Charlotte from Throws Before Bros
0:03:17 > 0:03:19plays Barry from the Eggheads with the jazz hands.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Please go to our Question Room, now.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24So Charlotte, Auckland, New Zealand?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Yes, yeah, that's where I'm from.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29And you came to the UK for study?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Yeah, I came to do my Masters and then I just did not leave.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36So you're on a PhD now?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Yes, yeah, I'm doing my PhD. - And do you want to stay...?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I'm not hinting, but do you want to stay in the UK forever?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45No, if Mama's watching this, I promise I will come home.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- JEREMY LAUGHS - After the PhD.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50All right, I think your mum probably definitely will be watching.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51OK, good luck here.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54It's quite good you've got the other side of the world covered
0:03:54 > 0:03:56cos it ends up as quite a blank for some people.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59So, Charlotte, would you like to go first or second against Barry,
0:03:59 > 0:04:00known as The Brain?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Oh, my gosh, he's known as...? OK, good. I'll go first, please.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10OK. Here is your question.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Brunei is a country in which continent?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Brunei is B-R-U-N-E-I, as you know.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Yes, yes, I should know the answer to this,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24because the girl that sits directly opposite me
0:04:24 > 0:04:26in my lab is from Brunei.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Not in Europe. I was doing countries of Asia,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I was looking at countries... I think it's Asia.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I'm going to go with Asia, and if I'm wrong,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36that's going to be embarrassing for me, but...
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Don't worry, Barry can tell you. Barry?
0:04:38 > 0:04:39It's definitely in Asia.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It's in Asia, well done. First point to you, first point to your team.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Excellent. OK, Barry.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Which historical peninsula lies between the
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Black Sea and the Sea of Azov?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Barry, is this...?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Well, it's a peninsula that's been much in the news,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58as Russia invaded it and took it over from the Ukraine.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59And it's the Crimean.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Crimean is quite right.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04The Sea of Azov, though, I haven't heard much talk of.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Yes, it is separated from the Black Sea by the Straits of Kerch.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10OK. This is why we call him The Brain, Charlotte!
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Mmm, good!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15But don't worry, you can take him down.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Here's your question.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20What is the name of the Victorian model village
0:05:20 > 0:05:22in Shipley near Bradford,
0:05:22 > 0:05:27which was designated a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2001?
0:05:33 > 0:05:39Well, I've got to say that anything to do with the UK is not a strength.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Bournville I just look at and I think cocoa.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I think that's a thing here too,
0:05:44 > 0:05:48not sure if that would classify as a World Heritage Site.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51All right, this is going to have to be a bit of a stab in the dark,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55because I feel like...Bournville,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I've already got Bournville associated with something else.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I'm going to go dead down the middle, and go Saltaire.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- OK.- And you're laughing, so it's probably Bournville!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Barry's very polite, he only laughs when you've got it right.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Saltaire is the right answer.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Rea-? Ah!- So, Barry, I know you'll be good on this, Barry,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- because you live nearby. - I do indeed.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13She was absolutely right about Bournville, it's chocolate,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- and it's another place. - It is, and it's near Birmingham.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18But Saltaire is the most beautiful model village.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23It was founded by Sir Titus Salt, a textile entrepreneur.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24And he built this model village,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26and all the streets are named after his children,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28and it's a wonderful place to visit, truly.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30OK, I'm thinking, Charlotte,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Barry will give you a tour of Saltaire one day, if you ask him.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35That sounds great, looking forward to it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- You live nearby, don't you, Barry? I mean, not far.- I do.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I only live about eight miles away.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It's not a tiny place, it's a proper village.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43No, it's quite a substantial place.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47It's got churches and recreation halls and a lake and restaurants.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Everything's there.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It was one of the first model villages by the Victorian
0:06:51 > 0:06:53entrepreneurs who wanted to look after their workers
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and give them a better standard of living.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Yeah, I should say model village, you think of tiny matchbox houses,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02like Bekonscot. But it's not that, it is a proper thing.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- No, it's the real thing. - OK, Barry, your question.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The Great Bear Rainforest was officially recognised
0:07:08 > 0:07:10in which country in 2016?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Well, the only thing I've got to go on is that there is a huge lake in
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Canada called Great Bear Lake.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22So I'm hoping that Great Bear Lake is by the Great Bear Rainforest,
0:07:22 > 0:07:24and on that basis I'll go for Canada.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yes, you've got it right, well done.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Canada it is. Charlotte, back to you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Playing well. Here's your question.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36Which American city claims to be the home of the world's first boardwalk,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40which was built in the 19th century in an attempt to stop tourists
0:07:40 > 0:07:42spreading sand in hotels?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh, OK.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I've been to the States, I've only been to LA.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55But I'm thinking about something that you think about
0:07:55 > 0:07:58as being a classic sort of resorty, beachy town.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01And for me, Atlantic City isn't really doing that.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I'm going to go with Miami because my gut says Miami.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06OK, your gut says Miami.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Let's just see whether your Challengers know.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11There was a TV series called Boardwalk Empire.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Where is that based?- Yeah, I think we were thinking Atlantic City.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Yeah, Atlantic City it is, Charlotte.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Oh, no!- OK, your question, you can take the round with this, Barry.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23How long is the walking trail known as the Cleveland Way,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26which runs through the North York Moors?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Oh, goodness, this is a local question that I'm struggling with!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36It's got to be longer than 11 miles.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37The Cleveland Way?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41The North York Moors can't be 109 miles, I will go for 29 miles.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43You've got it wrong!
0:08:43 > 0:08:44BARRY LAUGHS
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Oh, dear, am I going to get some opprobrium and stick for this?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Yeah, you will. How far away from that...?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51All these questions have been around the corner from you!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53They have, and I've got one wrong!
0:08:53 > 0:08:54109 miles.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56OK, Charlotte, you're still in it, that's good.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Oh, gosh.- We go to Sudden Death, so it gets a bit harder.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- OK.- I don't give you alternative answers, OK?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Right.- So here's your question.
0:09:03 > 0:09:09Which major Japanese city and port, about 20 miles south-west of Tokyo,
0:09:09 > 0:09:13is the capital of Kanagawa Prefecture?
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Erm, OK, Japanese... Japanese cities.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25I know a couple, I can't say I'm great with where they actually are.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Erm, what have we got?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Is it Ogasawara, and Kyoto, are the kind of...
0:09:31 > 0:09:35apart from Tokyo, are the couple that I'm going with.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40And so I'm going to go with Kyoto, because it is the
0:09:40 > 0:09:43only real city that I know, apart from Tokyo.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45We'll go with Kyoto.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Yokohama is the answer.- Oh.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Barry, for the round.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55Park City, the home of the Sundance Film Festival, is in which US state?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Now, this is one of the American Midwest states
0:09:57 > 0:10:00that have the Sundance Festival.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03And I'm not sure whether it's Utah or Arizona.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Sundance...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I'll go for Utah.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Let's see, Eggheads, is he right?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Yes.- Yes, Utah is the right answer, Barry, well done on Sudden Death,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15you've taken it. Charlotte, well fought.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18You almost fought him to a standstill there
0:10:18 > 0:10:19and you've been knocked out, sadly.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Barry will be in the final round, but it's early days.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Please return to your teams.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26All right. As it stands,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Throws Before Bros have lost a brain from the final round,
0:10:29 > 0:10:30they lost Charlotte.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32The Eggheads have still got all five.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34So let's try and change that, now. Sport is the subject.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I can't guarantee netball, but we've got Sport. Who wants this?
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Sport...
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- You're really good at football, aren't you?- She's good at Sport,
0:10:42 > 0:10:43but do we want to keep her for something else?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- What else am I good at? - Two have gone already, we're only going to get two more.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I think we should hedge our bets and take Cat for Sport.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50I think that's probably a good call.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Because if History comes up, I can cover History,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- and Frankie can cover the rest. - And Hannah's got all the science.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Also, you don't want me in the General Knowledge round alone.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I think Cat.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Yeah, we're going to go for me.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05OK, Catherine, and which Egghead do you want?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06It can't be Barry.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I would go either Chris or Beth, but...
0:11:08 > 0:11:10OK, I'm going to go for Chris.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12OK. You've done a lot of Sport recently, Chris.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I have won a lot of Sport recently!
0:11:14 > 0:11:15- ALL:- Oh, no!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18He may be bluffing!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20So Catherine from Throws Before Bros
0:11:20 > 0:11:23plays Chris on Sport from the Eggheads.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Please, if you can, go to our Question Room, now.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So, are you ready for this, Catherine, Sport against Chris?
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I suppose so.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I feel like I might have made a bad choice, by everyone's reaction!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36No, I mean, you have your on days and your off days, Chris, don't you?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Yes, this from a man who once thought Mo Farah
0:11:38 > 0:11:39was a woman called Maureen!
0:11:41 > 0:11:42I do remember that, actually!
0:11:42 > 0:11:46So, Catherine, apart from netball what are your favourite sports?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Football, probably. I played a lot of football when I was younger,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51and I watch a lot of football with my brother and my dad.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52All right, good stuff.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55So, on Sport, would you like to go first or second?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56I'll go second, please.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02So, Chris has the first sporting question.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Chris, and here it is.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06In which sport would you be most likely to participate
0:12:06 > 0:12:10in a nearest-the-pin competition?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Well, that's the stick that the flag's on in the hole, so it's golf.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Golf is right.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Catherine, your question.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24In 2015, which bowler became England's all-time
0:12:24 > 0:12:27leading wicket taker in Test cricket?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Erm, my cricket isn't great.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Erm, a lot of the men on my mum's side of the family like cricket.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44I believe Ben Stokes is a batsman, or a batsman specialist, anyway,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I don't know how you say it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Erm, so I think I'm going to choose between
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Steve Finn and James Anderson.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I think I'm going to go for Steve Finn.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I'm afraid that's wrong, it's James Anderson.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Sorry.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Chris, which long-distance runner
0:13:01 > 0:13:06was the winner of the 1974 BBC Sports Personality of the Year?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Chris, was this...?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Well, Roger Bannister was back in the '50s, wasn't he?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16He cooperated with Chris Chataway.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I don't think it was David Moorcroft,
0:13:19 > 0:13:21but that was about the time when Brendan Foster was at the peak of
0:13:21 > 0:13:24his popularity, with the Great North Run and what have you.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26So I'll say Brendan Foster.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Brendan Foster is the right answer.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31So you've got two. Because you went first, there's a bit of pressure on,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33now, Catherine. You've got to get this one right to stay in.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39Who scored the greatest number of Premier League goals, 25 in all,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41in the 2015-16 season?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Erm, so I think I do know this one.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I believe Daniel Sturridge was injured for the majority
0:13:51 > 0:13:54of that season, and I don't think it was Sergio Aguero.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I'm fairly certain that it's Harry Kane.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Yeah, well done, bang on, Harry Kane, it's right.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Great season for him. OK, Chris.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04You can take the round with this.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Which tennis player won the women's singles tournament
0:14:08 > 0:14:09at the 2016 US Open?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16US Open.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Flushing Meadows.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Karolina Pliskova.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Does that come from a place of knowledge, or a place of guesswork?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28That comes from a place of complete and utter guesswork, Jeremy.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I sensed that! Let's see if our Eggheads know. Is he right?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- We think it's Kerber. - Kerber, they all say Kerber.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It is Angelique Kerber, Chris.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39That's handy for our Challenger,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41but you still need to get this right
0:14:41 > 0:14:44to force it to Sudden Death, Catherine.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48The American sportswoman Hope Solo has represented her country
0:14:48 > 0:14:50in which sport?
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Again, I think I do know this one.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Mostly because I don't know any basketball or volleyball players.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'm pretty sure Hope Solo is a football player.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Yes, you're right. She is football.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Go, Cat!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10That's good, that's very good, actually.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13So, two each, after three questions.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14And, once again, we go to Sudden Death.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And you'll know, Catherine, that it gets a tiny bit harder,
0:15:17 > 0:15:18because I don't give you alternatives.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21So, you're up against Chris, we go to him first.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Garry Schofield and Andy Gregory represented Great Britain
0:15:25 > 0:15:29in which sport, Chris, in the 1980s and '90s?
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Sailing.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33No, rugby league.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34OK, a chance for you, Catherine.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Get this right, you're in the final round.- OK.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Egypt's Mohamed El Shorbagy
0:15:40 > 0:15:46has been men's world number one in which racket sport?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I suppose I'm just going to have to go for a racket sport.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50It's definitely not tennis.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Erm, I suppose other racket sports, squash, badminton...
0:15:55 > 0:15:56I'll go for one of those two.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00I think I'm going to go for squash.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Squash is your answer and if you've got this right,
0:16:03 > 0:16:04you're in the final round.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Let's see, ladies, do you know?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I think Egypt's good at squash.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09I would have gone squash.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12They all like the answer, but is it right?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13- Eggheads?- It certainly is.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Squash is the right answer, well done!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19You're in the final round. Chris, you've been knocked out on Sports!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22There we are, Chris had some valiant words at the start,
0:16:22 > 0:16:23but it came to nothing.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26He's been knocked out. Catherine's in the final. Please return to us,
0:16:26 > 0:16:27and we'll see what happens next.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Well, this is getting lively.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34As it stands, Throws Before Bros have lost a brain from the final,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36but the Eggheads have now also lost a brain.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38And that's good work, because in a lot of recent games,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40they've lost no brains at all.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Who wants this?- Me. - I think it's going to be Hebe.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47OK. Hebe, our English student, against which Egghead?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Anyone but Barry or Chris.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Do you know who you want?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Yes, but Pat's very good at everything,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58so maybe if you can knock him out, that would be good, yeah?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Shall we go for Pat?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- I back you, yeah.- You back me?
0:17:02 > 0:17:03We'll go for Pat.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I see what you're doing there.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07OK, Hebe from Throws Before Bros
0:17:07 > 0:17:10is going to try and throw Pat out the contest.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Let's see, bounce and, like that, and straight out.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17So, would you take your positions, please, in the Question Room?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Good luck, Hebe. Let's see if we can keep the momentum going on the
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Challengers' side.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Would you like to go first or second on Arts & Books?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24I'd like to go second.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30OK, so we start with Pat.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Pat, in poetry, a couplet is made up of how many lines?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I think it's just two lines.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40It is just two.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41OK, your question, Hebe.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Which of these artists was born first?
0:17:47 > 0:17:52I'm going to go with Caravaggio.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Yes, Caravaggio is the right answer, well done.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Here's your question, Pat.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59The 1991 work The Beauty Myth
0:17:59 > 0:18:02was the first book by which feminist author?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Well, they're all distinguished feminist writers,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11but I think I've heard of this.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I think she's Canadian, I'm not certain.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15But it's Naomi Wolf, I think.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17It is Naomi Wolf.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19OK, Hebe, your question.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22The caddish character Rupert Campbell-Black
0:18:22 > 0:18:25features in a series of novels by which author?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I've heard of Rupert Campbell-Black, but I can't remember where.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36So I'd assume that I'd heard of the author.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I have heard of both Jilly Cooper and Jackie Collins,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42but I don't think it's Jilly Cooper, so I'm going to say Jackie Collins.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Let me see, I think your team-mates know this. Do you know?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Yeah, I think it is Jilly Cooper.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48And have we got some Jilly Cooper readers here, have we, or...?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51My cousin, I think, was reading Jilly Cooper on holiday.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Yeah, Jilly Cooper is the answer, Hebe.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Sorry, guys.- Not to worry.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58But, Pat, because he went first, can take the round with this question.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04Which American playwright won a Pulitzer Prize for his play Fences,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07which was made into a 2016 film directed by Denzel Washington?
0:19:12 > 0:19:17I think Tony Kushner is best known for Angels In America.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Harvey Fierstein has the Torch Song Trilogy.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24This play, Fences, strikes a chord with August Wilson.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27So of the three, I think I'll go for August Wilson.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30August Wilson is correct, you've got three out of three.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Sorry, Hebe, you've been knocked out there.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- No worries.- Brave to take him on, he is very good.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Come back to us, both of you,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41OK, a bit of a setback here,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43but just to say, we had, a few weeks ago,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45the Oxford University lacrosse team in.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I don't know if you know any of them?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I think we do know a couple of them, yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51You're already doing better than they did.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Oh, perfect.- That's what we want!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56No disrespect, lacrossers, if you're watching!
0:19:56 > 0:19:59As it stands, Throws Before Bros have lost two brains,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00but the Eggheads have lost a brain as well.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04And you can level it up now before the final, with the last subject,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07which is Music.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08So, Frankie or Hannah?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Oh, no!- I think you're going to be better than me.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I know absolutely nothing about music, I do not listen to music.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Oh, Frankie!- Oh, my goodness!
0:20:17 > 0:20:19It might not be popular, it might be...
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- It might be old.- It can be anything.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It could be opera, it could be rap, it could be anything.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- OK.- I think I ought to...
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- I reckon Frankie should go. - I think Frankie should do it.- OK.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Frankie, I know that's going to be tough.- You got it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Just before you go, you can choose either Steve or Beth to take on.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I don't think it... They're all good, so I don't think it matters.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42OK, I will go with Steve.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45All right. It's high stakes, this.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Frankie from Throws Before Bros versus Steve from the Eggheads.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51To ensure there is no conferring, please, for the last time,
0:20:51 > 0:20:52go to the Question Room.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Frankie, I'm just wondering if your claim to have never listened to any
0:20:57 > 0:21:01music at all might be a very clever double bluff?
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Erm, I would hope it is because otherwise I'm in a bit of trouble.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07You don't have any,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10you're somebody who just doesn't really have a music thing?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Yeah, not really, it's not one of my interests.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14But I'll give it a shot.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16OK, so, Frankie, we range through the world of music here,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19from rap in the present day to, I don't know,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22stuff they were banging in the 11th century.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Would you like to go first or second?
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Yeah, I'll bite the bullet, I'll go first.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32OK, good luck. A language student, Frankie, on music.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34And here we go. Last round before the final.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Frankie, which song, recorded by The Four Tops,
0:21:37 > 0:21:41starts with the line "Now if you feel that you can't go on"?
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Right.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53I'm going to go for the name I like the best,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55which is River Deep Mountain High.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Mmm, no, it's not right.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I suppose the only way of guessing, if you haven't heard it,
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- is that it's a kind of, "If you feel that you can't go on..."- Oh, yeah.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Reach Out I'll Be There.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It's that sort of sentiment of "I'm there to help".
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Reach Out I'll Be There is the right answer, Frankie.- OK.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11So, Steve.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15The singer Jamala won the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17representing which country?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Yeah, I didn't watch it, but I know there was a bit of fuss
0:22:23 > 0:22:25about it at the time, a bit of a political statement.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26It's Ukraine.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Ukraine is the right answer, Jamala was Ukraine.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Frankie, back to you.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35The operatic soprano singer Jessye Norman was born
0:22:35 > 0:22:37in which country?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Right, again, I know nothing about opera.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46But Jessye Norman sounds like she could either be from the USA or
0:22:46 > 0:22:52Australia. However, because I think that, maybe she was born in Belgium.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54So...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I will go
0:22:56 > 0:22:58with Belgium.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Oh, OK.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I thought you were going to go straight to the obvious one.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Really?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- USA.- I'm sorry, it's USA.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Oh, right. I'm trying anything out, here.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11No, but I could see the logic there of swerving.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14So, Frankie, it's a difficult situation.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18You're behind, and if Steve gets this right, he's in the final round.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Steve, your question.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Released in 2016,
0:23:21 > 0:23:27This Town is the first solo single by which member of One Direction?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Right. I do know this, I'm not ashamed to admit it either,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36because I think it's quite a good song.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37It's Niall Horan.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Niall Horan is the right answer.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Frankie, I know this was not your subject, to say the least.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46So, bravely going in to bat there for the Challengers.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Frankie, you've been knocked out, Steve, you're in the final.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50If you come back to us and rejoin your teams,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54we will play the final round for £10,000.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00It is time for our final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:24:02 > 0:24:04are not allowed to take part in this round.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08So, that is Charlotte, Frankie and Hebe from Throws Before Bros,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10but also Chris from the Eggheads.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Would you please now leave the studio?
0:24:14 > 0:24:19Catherine and Hannah, you're playing to win Throws Before Bros £10,000.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Barry, Steve, Pat and Beth,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26which is the Eggheads' reputation, and to see Barry's jazz hands again.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31This time, they're all General Knowledge,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33and you may confer with each other.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35So, Catherine and Hannah, the question is, can you,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38with your two brilliant brains, defeat these four over here?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Yeah, I think so.- Yeah, we can.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Good stuff. And your team sitting behind you, cheering you on,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45or egging you on, I should say.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Would you like to go first or second?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I think we're going to employ Cat's winning technique of going second.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Yeah, it worked for Cat in her round,
0:24:55 > 0:24:56let's see what it does in the final.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58So your first question, Eggheads.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00A seminary is a training establishment
0:25:00 > 0:25:04for someone who may be interested in following a career in which area?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Religion.- For priests, no?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It's where priests go and study.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14We think that's where priests go and study religion.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Religion is right, Beth, well done.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19So, back to you, Challengers.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20In October 2016,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Antonio Guterres was ratified
0:25:23 > 0:25:27as the ninth Secretary-General of which organisation?
0:25:31 > 0:25:32United Nations is the only one
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- I think I've heard of the title of Secretary-General.- Yes, same.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I think we should go for that.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40I think we'll go for United Nations.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41United Nations is correct.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45They like that back there.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50Eggheads, which English radio DJ wrote a book about his experiences
0:25:50 > 0:25:54as a music journalist entitled Cider With Roadies?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Sounds very Stuart Maconie, that. - I would have thought so.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I think it's Stuart Maconie.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03He's done a succession of books,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06hasn't he, with slightly punny titles?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Yeah. We believe that's Stuart Maconie.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Stuart Maconie is the right answer.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15So, your second question, Challengers.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Which king fought alongside his victorious army
0:26:19 > 0:26:21at the Battle of Lostwithiel?
0:26:25 > 0:26:30So, I don't really have any reason for thinking it,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I just don't think it was Charles or Richard.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34But I don't really have a reason for it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37If you've got a gut instinct, I say go for it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Was George too late?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- George IV was, like, modern.- OK.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yeah, let's go for George.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Bit of a stab in the dark, but we'll go for George I.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52George I, well, it was part of the first English Civil War, 1644.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Charles.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Can you help us here, Eggs?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- 16...- It must be Charles I.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Charles I is the right answer.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- Sorry.- Don't worry.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Eggheads, your third question.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Because you went first, you can take the contest with this.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10In 2016, a planned new polar research vessel
0:27:10 > 0:27:12was named after which figure,
0:27:12 > 0:27:17despite an online petition to name it Boaty McBoatface?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I think it was David Attenborough.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23I love David Attenborough.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Erm, we think that's David Attenborough.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28David Attenborough is your answer.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31If you've got this right the contest is over.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Are they right?- I mean, I think so.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- That's what we would have guessed, I think.- Yeah.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38The correct answer is David Attenborough.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Those history questions...
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- Yeah.- I hope you've enjoyed it, Throws.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51- Yeah, it's been great.- Definitely.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55And you can say that the lacrosse team didn't do as well!
0:27:55 > 0:27:58That's a crucial thing. Commiserations, Challengers.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Their winning streak continues.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £10,000,
0:28:04 > 0:28:07so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Who will beat you?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Join us next time, to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:13 > 0:28:16have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It's going to be an £11,000 jackpot,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20so we may even see Barry's jazz hands.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Till then, goodbye.
