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 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And are you feeling brainy today?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Well, yes.- Virtual silence.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Virtual silence! They're so intelligent they can't even answer
0:00:39 > 0:00:42the question. Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:42 > 0:00:43are the Heartbeats.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47This team met through a cardiac rehabilitation group in Surrey
0:00:47 > 0:00:51and takes part in an annual quiz to raise funds for the cardiac unit at
0:00:51 > 0:00:54their local hospital. So let's meet them.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello. I'm Bernie and I'm a retired financial forensics consultant.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi. I'm Bob. I'm a retired social worker trainer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Rob. I'm a retired HR director.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Hello. I'm Sue. I'm a retired bilingual PA.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hello. I'm John. I'm a retired police officer.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13So, Bernie and team, hello...
0:01:13 > 0:01:14- ALL:- Hello. - ..and welcome.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18I'm guessing that you've all had a cardiac moment of some kind, Bernie,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- is that right?- That's right, yes. we've all had it and as a result
0:01:21 > 0:01:24of our rehabilitation programme,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27we joined an exercise group at our local leisure centre
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and from that came a charity which is called Heartbeat
0:01:30 > 0:01:32which is where we get our name from.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Fantastic. And after any kind of heart attack or cardiac situation,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39you've got to get exercising and change your diet, is that right?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Well, it's recommended that you do those things, yes.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45And obviously there's medication and certain follow-ups.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49The exercise is the most important thing to keeping yourself fit
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and able to enjoy life to the full again.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And do doctors also recommend quizzing?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57They say avoid stressful situations
0:01:57 > 0:01:59so I don't know what we're doing here.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00THEY LAUGH
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I must say, you all look as if you're in your prime to me.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Thank you.- Whatever you're doing is working and I wish you well.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Good luck. Good luck to you, team.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14However if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Now, Heartbeats, the Eggheads are on quite a roll here.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23They've won the last 11 games.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Judith has been doing the shoulder roll.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yes. She's still practising that. THEY LAUGH
0:02:29 > 0:02:33It means that there's £12,000 to play for.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35So, that's quite a jackpot.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Would you like to get cracking?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Yes, please. - I thought you'd say that.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of science
0:02:40 > 0:02:45and you can choose between Judith, Beth, Kevin, Pat or Steve.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Well, that's me, Jeremy.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51OK. Bernie on science from the Heartbeats versus which Egghead?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Which one do you think? - Would it be Judith?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You wouldn't choose Beth because she's a scientist.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Oh, right, yes. - Not Beth so maybe Judith.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Or Steve?- Or Steve, yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Keep Judith for Sport or something else?- Yes.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05I'd like to play Steve, please.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07So, Bernie from the Heartbeats is going to play Steve
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- from the Eggheads on science. All good, Steve?- We'll see.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- We'll see. Always leave it open-ended, don't you?- Oh, yeah.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Steve, do you remember your science classes at school?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- Vaguely. - Do you remember the Bunsen burners?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27I know what a Bunsen burner is, yes.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Completely.- Any other practicals?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34There was a famous experiment where a teacher burnt a peanut which has
0:03:34 > 0:03:36lived long in my memory but other than that...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Why did the teacher set fire to a peanut?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Just to show you how quickly it would ignite.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44We were all... Somebody got their eyebrows burnt off, I think.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I don't know whether your science teacher ever set fire to peanuts,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Bernie. I've never heard of that before.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Not that I can remember, no.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55He was very...
0:03:55 > 0:03:59very conservative and looked after and protected us and made sure we
0:03:59 > 0:04:01didn't do anything too dangerous.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03A lot of goggles in our science class.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05There were no goggles in my day, Jeremy.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Right.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Big change from when I went to school in the '60s.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Good luck in this round, Bernie. - Thank you.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16You're on science. Would you like to go first or second against Steve?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Here we go. Here's your first question.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26After Jupiter, what is the second largest planet in the solar system?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33When I was young, Jeremy, I was a very keen astronomer
0:04:33 > 0:04:37and I learned a lot about the planets and I know it isn't Mars
0:04:37 > 0:04:40because Mars is smaller than the Earth.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Uranus, I believe, is the third or fourth largest,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48but the second largest, which is the one after Jupiter, is Saturn.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Brilliant. Saturn it is.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Good quizzing. What do you think, team-mates?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Pretty impressive.- Good start. - They like that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Steve. In the US and now generally the UK,
0:04:59 > 0:05:04a trillion is represented as a one followed by how many zeros?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I think that must be 12, Jeremy.
0:05:11 > 0:05:1312 is the right answer.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Back to you, Bernie.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Two of the existing species of rhinoceros are named
0:05:18 > 0:05:20after islands in which country?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Rhinoceroses?
0:05:27 > 0:05:32I've seen rhinoceroses when I lived in Kenya but I didn't know there
0:05:32 > 0:05:36were two varieties and I certainly didn't know they were named after
0:05:36 > 0:05:39islands but thinking about this...
0:05:40 > 0:05:44..Vietnam, as I'm aware, doesn't have any islands,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47but Indonesia has thousands and Japan has...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50..quite a few.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So it's between Japan and Indonesia.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57I don't know whether there are rhinoceroses in Indonesia but...
0:05:57 > 0:06:01there's certainly... Well, probably certainly isn't any in Japan,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03so I think I'll go for Indonesia.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Indonesia is your answer.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10It is right. I'm just wondering if anyone here can name them?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Steve, can you name the two types?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I think it's Javan and Sumatran.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It is Javan and Sumatran.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Well done. Well done, Bernie. - Thank you.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Back to you, Steve. Which two gases together make up approximately 99%
0:06:22 > 0:06:25by volume of the Earth's atmosphere?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Well, hopefully for all our sakes, it's nitrogen and oxygen.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37What, if it's the other ones, we're in trouble, are we?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- We're in trouble, yeah.- Which would be the most dangerous combo?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Well, we'd have to be a fish for the middle one and for the last one,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I don't know, some sort of alien.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48JEREMY LAUGHS Nitrogen and oxygen is right.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52So, level. Playing well, both of you.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Bernie, back to you. Latrodectism is a condition which can be caused by
0:06:57 > 0:06:59a bite from which creature?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Latrodectism.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10Latro sounds like something to do with milk, from the Latin,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12but does that give me any clue?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I'm going to go for snake.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Because they're the more likely biters?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Well, they probably bite more than the other two.- Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25It's the wrong answer, though.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26The answer is spider.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29OK, Bernie, you got that wrong.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Let's see if Steve can take the round on this question.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Which name, taken from Greek mythology,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38is used for the star cluster also known as the Seven Sisters?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I'm sure my opponent knows this one, being a big astronomer.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48It's the Pleiades.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Pleiades is right, Steve.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Very good quizzing. You probably did know that, Bernie, did you?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Yeah, I did, yes.- Sorry about that.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55It's always frustrating.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58You've been knocked out there by the Seven Sisters
0:07:58 > 0:08:00and Steve will be in the final and if you return to us,
0:08:00 > 0:08:02we will play the next round.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05So, as it stands, the Heartbeats have lost a brain
0:08:05 > 0:08:09from the final round. The Eggheads are still sitting there.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Not lost many brains in the last few games.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Time to put a stop to that with Sport, which is the next subject.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Who would like this? - I'll take it, shall I?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I think it's got to be you.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- I'll take it.- OK, Bob.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Retired social work trainer.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Against which Egghead and obviously it can't be Steve?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Judith.- Again.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30That's what you were being saved for.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- THEY LAUGH - I thought I might be.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35She's had a very good record in recent rounds.
0:08:35 > 0:08:4011 out of 12 Sport rounds victorious she's been in so it's changing
0:08:40 > 0:08:44around here. Bob from the Heartbeats plays Judith from the Eggheads.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Please go to our Question Room.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Sport. OK, so, first or second against Judith
0:08:50 > 0:08:52who's playing pretty well these days?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Bob, your first sports question.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02In American football, the Super Bowl traditionally takes place
0:09:02 > 0:09:03on which day of the week?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10This is a very difficult question for me.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11I don't think it's a Wednesday.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15And I don't think it's a Friday.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20If I remember rightly I used to stay up late on a Sunday night
0:09:20 > 0:09:22to watch it so I'll go with Sunday.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Yes, Sunday's correct.
0:09:25 > 0:09:32Judith, in 2016 the trophy for the English Open Snooker Tournament
0:09:32 > 0:09:34was named after which player?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Oh.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41I think it might be St...
0:09:43 > 0:09:44I'm not sure.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I'm going to say Steve Davis.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51You've got it right actually. Steve Davis it is.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Back to you, Bob.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58In what year did Rafael Nadal win his first French Open title?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04It wasn't 2000.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I'm going to say 2010.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Judith, would you have said this?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I think he's won it eight times or something,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16some record number of times, so I'd have said 2005.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Yes, 2005 is the answer, Bob.- OK.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Chance for Judith to go into the lead on Sport.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Here we go with your question.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27In 2010 which Dublin-born cricketer became the first batsman
0:10:27 > 0:10:30to score one-day hundreds for two different countries?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I can't believe that Eoin Morgan is anything but Welsh.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45It's just cos I know Eoin Morgan is a cricketer
0:10:45 > 0:10:47that I'm going to go for him.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49So, him, Morgan.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Eoin Morgan is the right answer and you're ahead, Judith.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Bob, you need to get this one to stay in.- Yep.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Don't want to go the same way as Bernie.- No.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01The Dutch footballer Mario Melchiot
0:11:01 > 0:11:06played for which Premier League club between 1999 and 2004?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Can you repeat the name again?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yes. It's Mario and then Melchiot,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18which is M-E-L-C-H-I-O-T.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21It just came to me, then. I think it was Chelsea.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Chelsea is quite right.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27So you're level but Judith has her third question in hand.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30You can take the round with this, Judith.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Hill 16 is a famous terrace in which sports ground?
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Well...
0:11:43 > 0:11:45..Wales and Scotland are both nice and hilly,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49so I'm going to concentrate on those two.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I'm going to say Murrayfield.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Judith, the answer is Croke Park.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56So we're level after three questions
0:11:56 > 0:11:59because of that error by Judith, Bob, and we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02It gets a tiny bit harder here cos I don't give you options, OK?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- OK.- Your first Sudden Death question, Bob.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10Chris Ashton and Ben Foden have played international rugby union
0:12:10 > 0:12:11for which team?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12I think that's England.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14England is right.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Judith, Sudden Death. Sport. Your question.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22In 2009, whom did Forbes magazine name as the world's first
0:12:22 > 0:12:24billionaire sportsperson?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Erm...
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Let's think. 2009.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32That was Tiger Woods' heyday, wasn't it, roughly?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I think I'm going to say Tiger Woods.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Tiger Woods is right. Well done.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Bob, back to you. Sudden Death.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43In 2015, who became the first jockey to win successive Grand Nationals
0:12:43 > 0:12:44in over 40 years?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47This is a guess, I'm afraid.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I'll go with Pat Eddery.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Any of your team-mates know this?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52- Is he right?- AP McCoy?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54AP McCoy. No.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Pat Eddery, no. Leighton Aspell is the name.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02So you can take the Sport round with this question, Judith.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Britain's Trina Gulliver, nicknamed The Golden Girl,
0:13:07 > 0:13:12is a leading competitor and multi-world champion at which sport?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14She's a darts champion.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Darts is correct. Well done. You've done it again, Judith.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19You've won on Sport.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Sorry, Bob.- That's OK.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24She's known as The Sport Rocket. THEY LAUGH
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You've been knocked out and Judith will be in the final.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Please return to us, both of you, and we will play on.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32So as it stands,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Heartbeats have lost two brains from the final round.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The Eggheads are still beating away there.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40They haven't lost any. The next subject is Geography.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Which of you would like this?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Shall I take it?- Not me!
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Yes.- Rob?- Yeah, that'll be me, yeah. - OK.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Retired HR director.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Which Egghead would you like to take on? You can have any
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- of the three in the middle.- We'll take Beth, please.- All right.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57So, Rob from the Heartbeats...
0:13:58 > 0:13:59THEY LAUGH This won't be a problem.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Unless, unless, that area of the world comes up.- Yeah, thanks!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Beth from the Eggheads will compete on Geography.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Please go to the Question Room now.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Beth, I know you're getting qualms on Geography but your record
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- is good.- Apparently.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Your record is something like seven out of eight but it is
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- a particular area of the world that we've struggled on.- Yes.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Southeast Asia. I'm going to get a massive map.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25And put it all over your house.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Yes. - THEY LAUGH
0:14:28 > 0:14:31OK. And it's also countries that have been attributed to being in
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Southeast Asia but aren't, so it goes beyond that.- Yes.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38OK, anyway, anyway, Rob, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46OK. Good luck, Rob. Here is your first question.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50What's the approximate population of the Italian island of Sicily?
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Right.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Well, five million possibly.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Possibly one million.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08I think I'll go for one million, Jeremy.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10It's bigger than that. It's five.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Bad luck. And that's more than I would have expected.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17OK, Beth, your question.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21What is the official language of the island nation of Cape Verde?
0:15:25 > 0:15:31Cape Verde Islands are hovering off the coast of Africa in the Atlantic
0:15:31 > 0:15:33but they speak Portuguese.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Portuguese is correct.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Your question, Rob. Topeka is the capital of which US state?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43T-O-P-E-K-A.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Topeka.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53I don't think it's Florida.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I don't think it's Kansas.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I think I'll go for South Dakota, Jeremy.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Again I might have been tempted to go with you but it's wrong.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It's not Florida.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07What's the capital of Florida, Eggheads?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Tallahassee.- Tallahassee.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Eggheads, South Dakota?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- Pierre.- Pierre? Is it? Oh!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Kansas is the answer.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Topeka, Kansas.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21So, Beth, you can actually take the round with this question.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Liberia is bordered by which ocean?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Liberia is...
0:16:31 > 0:16:34in West Africa
0:16:34 > 0:16:36so it's got to be the Atlantic.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Yes, it is the Atlantic. Well done, Beth.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42You're through on Geography again, can I say?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44It's not such a bad subject for you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Sorry, Rob.- She did very well.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Sorry about that. You won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Return to us and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58So the Heartbeats are getting quite a lot of exercise here, Bernie,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01that's for sure. Are you OK on that side?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04We're keeping up. Hard to beat them.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06You've lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09The Eggheads are sitting pretty, you might even say smug.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11The next subject is Music.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Is that me, then?- Yep.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- That's Sue.- Sue, our retired bilingual PA against which Egghead?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22You've basically got a choice of two - Pat or Kevin, the Titans?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Pat, please.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29OK. Sue from the Heartbeats on Music against Pat.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Good to get a run out, Pat? - Yes, excellent.- Very good.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Please, to ensure there is no conferring, for the last time,
0:17:35 > 0:17:36go to our Question Room.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41OK, Sue, have you volunteered for music or is it your thing?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It wasn't supposed to be my thing but this is a strategic move
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- so we'll just hope for the best. - Don't give your tactics away.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Would you like to go first or second on Music, Sue?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56OK, and here's your question.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00In which country was the opera singer Luciano Pavarotti born?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Pavarotti, I think, such a well-known name...
0:18:09 > 0:18:13..and a very Italian name, so I imagine it'd have to be Italy.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Italy is correct. Well done.
0:18:15 > 0:18:21Pat, who had a UK top five single in 1986 with You Can Call Me Al?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28It was a famous video with Chevy Chase
0:18:28 > 0:18:30starring alongside Paul Simon.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It was from his Graceland period, so Paul Simon.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36You've just reminded me of that video.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Chevy Chase and he was much taller.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Yes, much bigger man. - Paul Simon is right.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43OK, back to you, Sue.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Which song begins with the lyrics "Get your motor running,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49"head out on the highway"?
0:18:58 > 0:18:59More Than A Feeling
0:18:59 > 0:19:00I'm not familiar with.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet either.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09But from the words, I'm hoping that it's Born To Be Wild.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12This is right up Dave... Tremendous Knowledge Dave's street.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14He would know everything about these songs.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15You are right. Well done.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17It's right. Born To Be Wild.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21OK. Pat.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24"You can check out any time you like"
0:19:24 > 0:19:26is a line from which famous song?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34"You can check out any time you like,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36"but you can never leave" -
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Hotel California.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Hotel California is correct.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43OK, so, let's look at the scores, two each.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Third question to you, Sue.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Which of these famous hit singles was written by the Cleethorpes-born
0:19:48 > 0:19:51musician and songwriter Rod Temperton?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58His is not a name that I know.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01So...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04..it's going to be a guess here.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I'm pretty sure it's not Thriller.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I wouldn't think it's Like A Virgin.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I'm going to opt for When Doves Cry.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Now, I believe Rod Temperton died in 2016,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23and therefore there was quite a big playback of some of his songs.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Which was the one here, Eggheads?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- It's Thriller. - Thriller is the answer.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Thriller was the one that he really made his songwriting name with.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35OK, Pat, you can take the round with this.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Which composer wrote the scores for the films Batman Begins,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I don't think it's John Williams so I'll eliminate him.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Jerry Goldsmith is a very productive...
0:20:55 > 0:20:59..writer of film scores, but before the options came up,
0:20:59 > 0:21:04when I hear Batman, my reflex answer for scores would be Hans Zimmer.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I think I'll go for Hans Zimmer.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Hans Zimmer is the right answer, so, Pat, you've taken the round.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Well done. Sue, sorry, knocked out, like your team-mates, I'm afraid.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15What will happen in the final round?
0:21:15 > 0:21:21Please, both of you, return to us and we will play it for £12,000.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26It is time for our final round, which as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:30 > 0:21:33to take part in this round, so all from this side, I'm afraid.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37It's Bernie, Bob, Rob and Sue from the Heartbeats.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44All right, John, I'm sorry you lost a few along the way.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Yes, so am I!- You're playing to win the Heartbeats £12,000,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51a big jackpot. Steve, Pat, Kevin, Beth, Judith,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56which is the precious reputation of the Eggheads,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59and to see Judith do her famous shoulder roll again.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04They're all going to be General Knowledge and I was going to say,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06John, you can confer,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08but obviously you haven't got anyone to confer with.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09You can speak out loud, for sure.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13The question is, can you with your one brain defeat these five?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15So, John, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:15 > 0:22:16I'll go first.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Good luck! Frank Spencer was the main character in which sitcom?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34I remember many years ago watching this on television and finding it
0:22:34 > 0:22:36a very amusing programme.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39So it's Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Yes, part of my childhood as well.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em is the answer.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45OK.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Eggheads, who was the US President when the Dayton Accords
0:22:49 > 0:22:53ending the war in Bosnia was signed in 1995?
0:22:58 > 0:22:59- Clinton?- Clinton.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Yes, Bill Clinton. Right?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Yes.- That's Bill Clinton.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Bill Clinton is correct.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Back to you, John.
0:23:08 > 0:23:14What type of creature is Kumbuka who briefly escaped from its enclosure
0:23:14 > 0:23:19into a staff-only area at London Zoo in 2016?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Is Kumbuka...?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Ah, yes, recent, yes.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29That was a gorilla.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Gorilla is correct.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34OK, back to you.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Eggheads, here we go.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40The historian Thucydides wrote in which language?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46- Ancient Greek?- Greek, yeah.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52OK, he was a Greek, so Ancient Greek.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Ancient Greek is right.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Two each.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58The third can be crucial, playing for £12,000.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Get this right, John, and
0:24:01 > 0:24:06you may be able to just watch them go into a total batting collapse.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10What is the name of the US film studio
0:24:10 > 0:24:14co-founded by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz
0:24:14 > 0:24:17which became famous for specialising in low-budget releases
0:24:17 > 0:24:19such as The Toxic Avenger?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Doesn't sound very much like Asylum.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34It sounds a little bit sort of traumatic so...
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I'll go for Troma.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Troma, on the grounds that it sounds like trauma.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Let's see, Eggheads, is he right?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- Yeah.- You are right!
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Is the Troma to do with the word trauma or something else?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I don't think it's connected as such, it may be, it's possible.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I wonder if it's an amalgamation of their names but you can't see that.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Not with that, no.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58It's difficult to say. A taste-free zone, Troma.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Your third question, Eggheads.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Which newspaper columnist and author co-wrote the TV sitcom
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Raised By Wolves which won the Golden Rose award for Best Sitcom
0:25:09 > 0:25:11in 2016?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Is this...?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- It's Caitlin Moran. - Caitlin Moran, yes.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Yeah, yeah
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I think we're reasonably confident, Jeremy, that's Caitlin Moran.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27The correct answer...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29is Caitlin Moran.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32You did look certain, so they've pushed it to a draw
0:25:32 > 0:25:34over three questions, John.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I think we suspected they might do that with five of them there.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40This is the time to win the money on Sudden Death.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Just keep getting them right, that's all you need to do,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47and it gets a tiny bit harder now, cos I don't give you options.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53By what name are the United States Navy's sea, air and land teams
0:25:53 > 0:25:54commonly known?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Oh, yes.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57They are the SEALs.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59They are indeed the SEALs, the Navy SEALs.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Eggheads, back to you. Sudden Death.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Which writer famously described
0:26:05 > 0:26:09the sight of the English country gentleman galloping after a fox
0:26:09 > 0:26:12as the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Oscar Wilde?- Oscar Wilde.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Oscar Wilde. Yes.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20That's one of those quotes by Oscar Wilde.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Yeah, quite a lot of quotes that are attributed to him are actually not
0:26:23 > 0:26:27by him. Luckily for you, this one is one of his.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Oscar Wilde.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Back to you, John, playing a perfect round so far.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35All of your team-mates looking on.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38£12,000 in it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42What is the name of the US holiday created in the 1960s
0:26:42 > 0:26:47to honour African-American heritage and celebrated from December 26th
0:26:47 > 0:26:49to January 1st?
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Well, the thing that comes to mind immediately is Mardi Gras,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56but I don't think it's Mardi Gras.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03It's a sheer guess but I would have to guess something like Africa Day
0:27:03 > 0:27:05or Africa Week.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Africa Week, Africa Day, let's see, Eggheads?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Kwanzaa.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Kwanzaa is the name of the US holiday to honour African-American
0:27:14 > 0:27:18heritage over the Christmas period. It's K-W-A-N-Z-A-A.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21So, a chance for the Eggheads.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23If you get this right, the contest is over.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25All five of you, here's your question.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Which chemical element was officially recognised
0:27:29 > 0:27:32as the fourth precious metal in 2010,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35after gold, silver and platinum?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Palladium?- Palladium.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39That's the only one I can think of, really.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- Yes, Palladium.- Yes.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44We think that's Palladium.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Do you know this one, John? - No, I don't!
0:27:49 > 0:27:50They do know a lot, don't they?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- They certainly do.- They're also playing very well at the moment.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56The answer is Palladium. We say, congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57You have won.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I hope you're not feeling too much tension there.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- Not much!- You concentrated brilliantly, because,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10by that stage you might well have seen them give a wrong answer,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13but such is the form they're in, it didn't happen.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Good stuff, but commiserations, John and team.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16The Eggheads have done
0:28:16 > 0:28:19what really does come naturally to them at the moment.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21This winning streak continues. Eggheads, well done,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23cos yet again you've had a game here
0:28:23 > 0:28:25where you haven't lost a single round.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27That's what's starting to worry me.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:30 > 0:28:33to finally wipe the smiles off their very nice faces.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35£13,000 says they don't.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Till then...goodbye.
