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. Storming form, Eggheads?

0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Yes.- Yeah.- I think so. I think so.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Taking on our quiz champions today

0:00:37 > 0:00:39are the Diamond Devils from Edinburgh.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Now, this team usually compete against each other

0:00:41 > 0:00:45on the baseball field, but they've joined forces

0:00:45 > 0:00:48to take on the Eggheads today. Let's meet them.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Paul. I'm a trade effluent quality advisor.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Graham and I'm a postman.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Bret and I'm a credit risk manager.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm James and I'm a data analyst.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Gilberto. I'm a commercial photographer.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03- So, Paul and team, welcome.- Hello.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Good to see you. Thanks for coming.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08So it's mainly baseball that brings you together, is that right?

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Yeah, we're all part of the one sort of club,

0:01:10 > 0:01:12but it's three separate teams within that club.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15And you play on a conventional baseball pitch of some kind?

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- A diamond is what the field... - The diamond? Oh, I see -

0:01:18 > 0:01:22hence the team name! I'm there! I've got it. I've got it.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25We're currently trying to build our own purpose-built diamond just now,

0:01:25 > 0:01:27but right now we play just at a field in Edinburgh.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Yeah. Do you have to mark it out to play?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Yeah, right now we do.- Yeah. And who do you play against?

0:01:32 > 0:01:35There's three teams in Edinburgh in the league,

0:01:35 > 0:01:37a team in Glasgow... Two teams in Glasgow, sorry,

0:01:37 > 0:01:40and a team in Aberdeen is forming, as well, this year.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Do you play different positions?

0:01:41 > 0:01:43So if I say, "What position do you play, Paul?"

0:01:43 > 0:01:45does that make any sense in this game or not?

0:01:45 > 0:01:46Yeah, it can do, yeah.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48- And what are you? - I'm a third baseman.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Yeah, I can relate.

0:01:50 > 0:01:51There are how many bases, seven?

0:01:51 > 0:01:52- Three.- Three?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Yeah.- Three bases and a...

0:01:54 > 0:01:55JEREMY LAUGHS

0:01:55 > 0:01:58One, two, three and then you're home?

0:01:58 > 0:01:59- Yeah.- Is that right? OK.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03I didn't say seven, Eggheads. Forget that, OK?

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Yes, you did.- They're logging it all back there and sniggering away.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Anyway, I wish you well. Good luck.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:02:12 > 0:02:15for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:02:15 > 0:02:18the prize money rolls over to our next show and, Diamond Devils,

0:02:18 > 0:02:20I don't know if this is good news or bad news,

0:02:20 > 0:02:23but the Eggheads have won the last 12 games.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25So, you've got to stop them.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28£13,000 will be yours if you do.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Would you like to start?- Yes. - Yeah!

0:02:31 > 0:02:35The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38You can choose between Judith, Steve, Kevin, Pat and Dave.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39What do you guys think?

0:02:39 > 0:02:42I think you're going to be doing that one, right?

0:02:42 > 0:02:43I'll take it. OK.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Who do we want to take on?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47- We'll go for Graham. - Graham, OK.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Our postman?- Yep.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52And, Graham, choose an Egghead. Any one of the five.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Some of them will be looking a little bit frightened at this stage,

0:02:55 > 0:02:57but it's hard to know which.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59I'll take Judith.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01So, Graham from Diamond Devils is going to take on

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Judith from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,

0:03:04 > 0:03:06please go to our Question Room now.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Graham, would you like to go first or second on Film & TV?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'll go first, please.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18And here we go. Good luck.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Which actor starred as Owen Grady in the 2015 film Jurassic World?

0:03:27 > 0:03:31I...think that was Chris Pratt.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Good play. Yeah, it was Chris Pratt. Well done.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Judith, Caroline Quentin regularly played a character called Dorothy

0:03:40 > 0:03:42in which TV sitcom?

0:03:47 > 0:03:49I think it was the Vicar of Dibley.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53No, it is not,

0:03:53 > 0:03:56because that was dominated by Dawn French.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57That's who I thought she was.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Yeah, no, Caroline Quentin is not Dawn French.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01No.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04That's exactly who I had in mind.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Oh, dear, are you having one of those days?- Yes, I am.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08- Brain freeze.- It's only...

0:04:08 > 0:04:10It's early here in the round, still.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11It's Men Behaving Badly.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Oh, she was one of the girls in it.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Right, I think this looks quite good for you, Graham.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18I don't know what's going on on the Eggheads' side,

0:04:18 > 0:04:21but it might be to your advantage.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Your question - the first series of the television drama Mad Men

0:04:25 > 0:04:28was set at the start of which decade?

0:04:32 > 0:04:37I've never actually seen it but it was about an advertising agency

0:04:37 > 0:04:42and I'm sure I've seen clips of it and I recognise the sort of dress.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45I would say it was probably the '50s.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Do you know? I've seen it and I would have given that answer,

0:04:48 > 0:04:50and I'm ashamed to say I would have been wrong.

0:04:50 > 0:04:51It's the '60s.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- OK.- OK.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55Your question, Judith.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Which of these Alfred Hitchcock directed films was made first?

0:05:03 > 0:05:08Well, Rebecca had Laurence Olivier in it looking quite young.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10North by Northwest, Cary Grant.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13I think it must be Rebecca.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16It is Rebecca, well done. So you're actually level now.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Graham, try and get this right, put the pressure on.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21The screenwriter and director Richard Curtis

0:05:21 > 0:05:22was born in which country?

0:05:26 > 0:05:27Well, I've no idea about this at all.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29It's going to have to be a guess.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Erm...

0:05:31 > 0:05:34I'm going to have a guess at South Africa.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- It was New Zealand.- Oh, OK.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39So you've got one out of three and, Judith,

0:05:39 > 0:05:44despite the slightly shaky start, you can take the round on this.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49Who directed the 2004 biographical film Beyond The Sea

0:05:49 > 0:05:53and played the lead role of the singer Bobby Darin?

0:05:57 > 0:06:02I can't see Kevin Spacey being Bobby Darin, or Tom Hanks.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Maybe it's Joaquin Phoenix.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Any Challengers know this? Is she right?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Anyone see this? - It's not something I've seen, no.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11The answer is Kevin Spacey.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12- Really?- Yes, it is.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14I just can't see him being Bobby Darin.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, it's level after three questions.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18We go to Sudden Death, Graham.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22You got a slight let-off there, and it gets a bit harder now

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- because I don't give you different options, OK?- OK.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Which animated film based on a popular children's toy

0:06:29 > 0:06:34was the highest grossing movie at UK cinemas in 2014?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39I've no idea. I'm going to have a guess at WALL-E.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41- No, The Lego Movie.- Oh, of course!

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Judith, for the round,

0:06:45 > 0:06:49who won Best Actress Oscars for her performances

0:06:49 > 0:06:52in Gaslight and Anastasia?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Is it Ingrid Bergman?

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Let's check with the Eggheads. Is she right?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Ingrid Bergman. - You're right, Ingrid Bergman it is.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02So, Judith, you're through to the final. Well done.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Graham, sorry, you've been knocked out by our Egghead.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06If you come back to us, both of you,

0:07:06 > 0:07:08and rejoin your teams, we'll play on.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12So, Diamond Devils have lost a brain from the final round.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15The Eggheads have not lost one yet and the next subject for you

0:07:15 > 0:07:17is Arts & Books.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Who would like this? Can't be Graham.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22A slightly silent response.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26I'm thinking I'm not going to be able to help on this one at all.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29I don't think I'll be able to help on this one much.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32- I don't know anything. - Me neither, so...

0:07:32 > 0:07:35I'll go for it if you want. I'll go for it.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Paul?- Yeah, I'll go for it. - Oh, right. Now, that's the easy bit.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Now choose an Egghead.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42- I'll go for Dave.- Good stuff.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Paul from the Diamond Devils is taking on

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Please, both of you, go to our Question Room.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Paul, would you like to go first or second?

0:07:52 > 0:07:53I'll go first.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Here we go, Paul. Good luck.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Which of these is a title in the Narnia series of books by CS Lewis?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10When I first heard the question, I was hopeful.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17I think, based on the other titles,

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm going to have a stab at The Magician's Chair.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24It's Nephew. The Magician's Nephew.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26OK, Dave.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29What is the surname of the character named Uriah

0:08:29 > 0:08:32in the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield?

0:08:35 > 0:08:36It's Uriah Heep.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38It is Uriah Heep.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40OK, back to you, Paul.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44Le Douanier, the nickname of the French painter Henri Rousseau,

0:08:44 > 0:08:48translates into English as what job title?

0:08:48 > 0:08:49Is this...?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Again, this is not my...

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Not my area.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01I don't think it would be customs officer.

0:09:02 > 0:09:07I'm going to take a stab at taxidermist.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I don't know if he was in real life a customs officer,

0:09:09 > 0:09:10but this was his nickname.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Oh.- He probably was a customs officer, was he?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14He was a Sunday painter.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- So he was a customs officer Monday to Friday.- Right.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21OK, he painted, apparently, on the Sunday, and in the week,

0:09:21 > 0:09:24says Judith, he was a customs officer, Paul.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25- There you go.- There we go.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27Over to Dave.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29What are the names of the two brothers

0:09:29 > 0:09:31in Harold Pinter's play The Caretaker?

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Caretaker...

0:09:38 > 0:09:43It's weird with Pinter, there, because I know all the plays

0:09:43 > 0:09:46but just don't bother getting into the characters.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51I'm not getting a handle on any of the names at all to do with Pinter.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53I'm going to go Clifford and Tom.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55It's wrong - Aston and Mick.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57I would not know. Sorry.

0:09:57 > 0:10:02So he's still ahead, Paul, but you need to get this one right.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05In Lewis Carroll's poem Jabberwocky,

0:10:05 > 0:10:08what word describes the Bandersnatch?

0:10:14 > 0:10:15I'm trying to remember now!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Nothing is jumping out. I was hoping something would pop out at me

0:10:20 > 0:10:22when you read them out there but...

0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'm struggling again.

0:10:26 > 0:10:27I think I'm going to go for...

0:10:28 > 0:10:30..rumptinous.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32It is the frumious Bandersnatch.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Frumious is the word.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Anyone do any of the rest of it for us?

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Beware the frumious Bandersnatch,

0:10:38 > 0:10:41its jaws go something, and something Snicker-snack.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Yeah, yeah, that's true.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46We'll rack our brains here and have a think about it.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Meanwhile, Dave, well done, you've won the round.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Paul, sorry, you were knocked out by our Egghead there on Arts & Books,

0:10:51 > 0:10:52which I know was not your choice of round.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Please, both of you, return to us and we'll play on.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

0:10:59 > 0:11:02The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

0:11:02 > 0:11:03Beware the...

0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Frumious Bandersnatch.- No.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Something Jubjub bird.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- The Jubjub bird.- Oh, yeah. - And shun the frumious Bandersnatch.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11That's the Lewis Carroll poem.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14And, by the way, on the Henri Rousseau, Le Douanier,

0:11:14 > 0:11:16he was not actually a customs officer, OK?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18He was a toll collector.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Well, same sort of thing. - Well, no...

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Well, it's like he was the guy at the motorway service station

0:11:23 > 0:11:25and people nicknamed him the customs officer

0:11:25 > 0:11:27to give him status he did not have.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Oh, right.- So it was a little bit of a joke by his friends.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32I'm just saying... I'm not correcting you, I'm just...

0:11:32 > 0:11:34No, you are. And rightly.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35LAUGHTER

0:11:35 > 0:11:38- And rightly.- Always very dangerous to correct them over here.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40It all starts kicking off.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Anyway, look, Diamond Devils,

0:11:42 > 0:11:44you've lost two brains from the final round -

0:11:44 > 0:11:47but there's still plenty of time to win, and you seriously can win,

0:11:47 > 0:11:51even with one in the final, and there's £13,000 to play for.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53The next subject is History.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Who wants this?

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Shall I take it? I'll take that one.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- OK, so it's Bret. - Yes.- Against which Egghead, Bret?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Pat or Kevin or Steve?

0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Think Steve?- Steve. - I'll try against Steve.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Very good. So Bret from the Diamond Devils, originally from Oklahoma?

0:12:12 > 0:12:13- Yes.- Good stuff.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16And Steve from the Eggheads, originally from...?

0:12:16 > 0:12:17- Bolsover.- Bolsover.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19So Oklahoma against Bolsover.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Please take your positions in our Question Room.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26So, Bret, Oklahoma and then UK?

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Well, a brief stint in Russia in between.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32I met a Scottish girl in Russia and then found my way here.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Fantastic, so you're living in what part of Scotland?

0:12:34 > 0:12:35- Edinburgh.- Great stuff.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38And do you go back to Oklahoma much or not?

0:12:38 > 0:12:39Probably every couple of years,

0:12:39 > 0:12:41so due to go back this summer coming.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43It must be exciting, in a way,

0:12:43 > 0:12:45to have baseball in Scotland where you live,

0:12:45 > 0:12:48rather than having to only see it when you go back to the USA.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50It was, yes. It was one of the first things I looked up

0:12:50 > 0:12:52when I moved here, was if there was a baseball league,

0:12:52 > 0:12:55and the first weekend I was here that I could go play,

0:12:55 > 0:12:56- I made my way down. - OK, good stuff.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00Bret, you're against Steve and it's History.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Would you like to go first or second?

0:13:01 > 0:13:02I'll go first.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10In the words of the saying "divorced, beheaded, died,

0:13:10 > 0:13:12"divorced, beheaded, survived,"

0:13:12 > 0:13:15What was the fate of Anne of Cleves?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Was she...?

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Just trying to remember my order now of the wives.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23So, the last...

0:13:23 > 0:13:26She was neither of the last two.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29I remember Jane Seymour was third.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Anne Boleyn was second, so it must have been the fourth.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35And she was...

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Oh, if I remember right she was beheaded very quickly.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42I believe it's beheaded.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Let's just check with the Eggheads

0:13:44 > 0:13:46because they love the wives of Henry VIII. Eggheads?

0:13:46 > 0:13:47- Divorced.- Divorced.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Which one was she?- Fourth.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Number four.- Four, yeah.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Divorced is the answer, Bret.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Steve, your question.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Marie Antoinette was the Queen consort

0:13:59 > 0:14:00of which French King?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06That's Louis XVI, Jeremy.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Louis XVI is correct.

0:14:09 > 0:14:10So, back to you, Bret.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13The Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama

0:14:13 > 0:14:15was born in which century?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I don't think it's the 19th.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22I think he was before then.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24So I'm trying to think.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Let's see, Columbus was in the 15th.

0:14:26 > 0:14:30I don't think da Gama was much later than him.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32I will say 15th.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35I'm not sure, I think 15th.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37You've got it exactly right. 15th is right.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43Steve, which of these 19th-century events happened first?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52I think it must be Queen Victoria marries Prince Albert.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56And you've got to that through what process?

0:14:56 > 0:15:00Well, she came to the throne in '37, she was married not long after,

0:15:00 > 0:15:01maybe 1840 or something like that.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04The Battle of Balaclava was part of the Crimean War,

0:15:04 > 0:15:06about 1854, something like that,

0:15:06 > 0:15:10and the Suez Canal opened in about 1869,

0:15:10 > 0:15:13so hopefully my maths works out.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Queen Victoria marries Prince Albert was indeed the first of those events

0:15:17 > 0:15:18in the 19th century.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20They're good, aren't they, Bret?

0:15:20 > 0:15:21- Yes.- They do know their stuff.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24It's part of the joy of playing this game.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Your question, your third question. You need this one.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29What surname was given to the ten children

0:15:29 > 0:15:32produced by the future William IV

0:15:32 > 0:15:35and his lover, the actress Dorothea Jordan?

0:15:38 > 0:15:42I'm just trying to think my timeline of when William IV was, and...

0:15:42 > 0:15:49I'm not really sure so much if I get the timeline, if that will help.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51I'll take a guess with FitzPatrick.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Steve?- Just based on the fact he's a royal,

0:15:55 > 0:15:57I'd have probably gone FitzClarence.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Yeah, FitzClarence is the correct answer.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Bret, sorry, you've been knocked out on History.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03No way back, in this round, so Steve will be in the final.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Please return to us, rejoin your teams,

0:16:05 > 0:16:08and we'll play one more round before that final.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10So, as it stands,

0:16:10 > 0:16:14Diamond Devils have lost three brains from the final round,

0:16:14 > 0:16:17the Eggheads have not lost any, and the next subject is Music.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Paul and team, who wants this?

0:16:20 > 0:16:22It's got to be Gilberto or James.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23- OK.- You need to be last.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Yeah. Yeah, yeah. OK. Let's do it.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27- I'll take it.- OK, Gilberto.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Against either, let's see, Kevin or Pat.

0:16:30 > 0:16:3250-50.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35OK, I'll leave... I'll take Pat and you can get Kevin.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37It doesn't matter. Everyone's in.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40We'll see you in the final round, Gilberto, it doesn't matter.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Erm...

0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Pat.- Sure. So, Gilberto from the Diamond Devils.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Pat, any experience of baseball?

0:16:47 > 0:16:50I've watched a bit. I played a long time ago.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54I played a bit of rounders - sort of like a junior version of the game.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57OK. All right, gentlemen, for the last time,

0:16:57 > 0:16:59please go to our Question Room.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03So, Gilberto, we've got quite a multinational team,

0:17:03 > 0:17:04because you're originally from...

0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Venezuela. - Venezuela - tell us about that.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10What can I tell you? It's a beautiful country.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14Mmm. And did you leave when you were young?

0:17:14 > 0:17:17No, I left 13 years ago.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21I know one Venezuelan really well, and her name is Karen Clifton,

0:17:21 > 0:17:22and she was the dancer on Strictly.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25I don't know if you watch it - but she is Venezuelan.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Yes, yes. I know.- Karen Hauer, her name was before that.- Yeah.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- OK, well, listen, good luck against Pat.- Thank you.

0:17:31 > 0:17:32Is music your thing?

0:17:32 > 0:17:35No, but I have to sacrifice myself.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37JEREMY LAUGHS OK.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39So, would you like to go first or second?

0:17:39 > 0:17:41I'll go first, please, Jeremy.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Here we go. Eggheads are playing well at the moment,

0:17:46 > 0:17:48but don't give up, guys.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52"You never close your eyes any more when I kiss your lips"

0:17:52 > 0:17:56is the opening lyric to which song?

0:17:56 > 0:17:57Gilberto, is it...?

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Can you repeat the phrase again?

0:18:04 > 0:18:08"You never close your eyes any more when I kiss your lips".

0:18:09 > 0:18:15I think I'll go for the middle - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17What do you think, team-mates? Is he right?

0:18:17 > 0:18:18- I think so.- Anyone sing it?

0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Can anyone do that?- God, no!

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Righteous - if we had Lisa here - Righteous Brothers...

0:18:23 > 0:18:26# You never close your eyes any more

0:18:26 > 0:18:28# When I kiss your lips. #

0:18:28 > 0:18:31Something like that. You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'.

0:18:31 > 0:18:35It's just a guide, that's all, I'm just singing it as a guide.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Anyway, you're right, Gilberto, that's the main thing. OK, Pat.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41Which musical features a song that asks the question,

0:18:41 > 0:18:43"How do you solve a problem like Maria?"

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Well, there is a prominent Maria in West Side Story,

0:18:52 > 0:18:54but I think...

0:18:54 > 0:18:59the Maria in this song title is a novice nun in The Sound Of Music.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01The Sound Of Music is correct.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04OK. Gilberto.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09Who sang with Dolly Parton on the 1983 UK top-ten single

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Islands In The Stream?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18I think it's a tricky one.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20She usually...

0:19:21 > 0:19:26..sings along with Kenny Rogers, but, erm, I'm not sure here.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28But, erm...

0:19:28 > 0:19:30I will say Kenny Rogers.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Yes, it is Kenny Rogers.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34A famous video of them singing it live.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37OK, Pat, your second question.

0:19:37 > 0:19:44In 1985, John Parr had a UK top-ten single with which song?

0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'd better be a little bit careful here.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Alive And Kicking, I think, is Simple Minds -

0:19:54 > 0:19:56maybe, like, somebody like that.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59John Farnham, I think, sang You're The Voice.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Did John Parr sing St Elmo's Fire?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04It was famously featured in...

0:20:05 > 0:20:07..in a movie, wasn't it?

0:20:09 > 0:20:12So I think I'll have to go for St Elmo's fire.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Let's just see. Eggheads, is he right?

0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Yes.- And what was the film he referred to?

0:20:16 > 0:20:18I think it's called St Elmo's Fire.

0:20:18 > 0:20:19Oh, it's not Breakfast Club?

0:20:19 > 0:20:21It's one of the Brat Pack films of the time.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Yeah.- Yeah. - St Elmo's Fire is the right answer,

0:20:24 > 0:20:26so it's level after two questions.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Your third, Gilberto. You're playing well here.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33Benjamin Britten's work The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra

0:20:33 > 0:20:39is subtitled Variations And Fugue On A Theme Of whom?

0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Can you repeat the question, please, Jeremy?- Yeah.

0:20:47 > 0:20:52Benjamin Britten's work The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra

0:20:52 > 0:20:57is subtitled Variations And Fugue On A Theme Of whom?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00I think it's...

0:21:01 > 0:21:03..Henry Purcell.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05You're absolutely right.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Well done. Henry Purcell.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09OK, you're playing well on Music.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12So, if Pat gets this wrong, he's out.

0:21:14 > 0:21:19Which Coldplay album originally featured the singles Speed Of Sound

0:21:19 > 0:21:20and Fix You?

0:21:26 > 0:21:30Hmm. I can rule out Mylo Xyloto -

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I think that was later in their career.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37So it's between Parachutes and X&Y.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Hmm...

0:21:40 > 0:21:42What was the order of their albums?

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Was it Parachutes and then A Rush Of Blood To The Head

0:21:45 > 0:21:47and then X&Y and then Mylo Xyloto?

0:21:49 > 0:21:50I'm not sure.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54I have a feeling Parachutes is early and X&Y is middle-career

0:21:54 > 0:21:56for Coldplay.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00And I have a feeling those songs are sort of middle-period Coldplay.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05The early songs are, like, Yellow and Clocks.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07Hmm.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Could I have the question one more time, please?

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Which Coldplay album originally featured the singles

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Speed Of Sound and Fix You?

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Well, it all depends on whether I've got my feeling

0:22:19 > 0:22:21for the sequence of these albums correct,

0:22:21 > 0:22:25but I do think that Parachutes is early, X&Y is in the middle,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28and Mylo Xyloto is late in their career.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32I think those are middle period songs, so I'm going to go for X&Y.

0:22:32 > 0:22:33X&Y is right.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36So, level after three questions - and we go to you, Gilberto.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Sudden Death. It gets a bit harder.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41I don't give you alternative options. Good luck.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45What title is shared by a Liverpool folk song...

0:22:46 > 0:22:48..a musical by Lionel Bart,

0:22:48 > 0:22:53and a UK number-one single for Rod Stewart?

0:22:53 > 0:22:55For Rod Stewart. Erm...

0:22:57 > 0:23:00That's a tricky question. Erm...

0:23:03 > 0:23:05I'm trying to think. And a Rod Stewart song...

0:23:08 > 0:23:09No. Pass.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Nothing?- No, no, sorry.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18- It's Maggie May.- Maggie May, yes.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20The musical was based on the folk song,

0:23:20 > 0:23:23which was also recorded by the Beatles on Let It Be.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Sorry.- The Rod Stewart song was different.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28OK, Pat, for the round, which stage show,

0:23:28 > 0:23:31about a successful 1960s American band,

0:23:31 > 0:23:36won the 2009 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical?

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Hmm...

0:23:40 > 0:23:41'60s band.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44That's a crowded field.

0:23:46 > 0:23:47What could we have?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49The Beach Boys, Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons...

0:23:51 > 0:23:52All sorts of candidates.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57Jersey Boys, that's tempting, for Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

0:24:00 > 0:24:022009...

0:24:02 > 0:24:04I think my best chance is to assume

0:24:04 > 0:24:08it's Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and to go for Jersey Boys.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Jersey Boys is the right answer.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12You're in the final, Pat. Well done.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Sorry, Gilberto. One false move there and - it happens -

0:24:15 > 0:24:18the Egghead was all over you and you've been knocked out.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22If you return to us, we will play that final round for £13,000.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26So, this is what we have been playing towards.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28It is time for our final round

0:24:28 > 0:24:30which, as always, is General Knowledge -

0:24:30 > 0:24:33but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:24:33 > 0:24:35won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37So it's all from this side -

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Paul, Graham, Bret and Gilberto from the Diamond Devils,

0:24:40 > 0:24:43I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave the studio.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49OK, James, you are playing to win Diamond Devils £13,000,

0:24:49 > 0:24:51and good luck. Dave, Pat, Kevin, Steve, Judith,

0:24:51 > 0:24:54you're playing for something that money really can't buy,

0:24:54 > 0:24:56which is the Eggheads' reputation.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01They are all General Knowledge.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Usually I say you can confer but you are, unfortunately, alone.

0:25:04 > 0:25:09So, James, the question is, can your one brain defeat these five?

0:25:09 > 0:25:11It's been done before. Good luck.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Thank you.- Would you like to go first or second?

0:25:13 > 0:25:14I'll go first, please.

0:25:17 > 0:25:22Here we go. First appearing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013,

0:25:22 > 0:25:26the American professional dancer with the surname Manrara

0:25:26 > 0:25:27has what first name?

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Not really playing to my strengths with this one,

0:25:33 > 0:25:35if I'm perfectly honest, so...

0:25:35 > 0:25:39Never watched an episode, so it's going to be a little bit tough,

0:25:39 > 0:25:40so I'm going to have to try and see what I can do.

0:25:42 > 0:25:43Janette seems...

0:25:43 > 0:25:45It doesn't seem like the sort of name a dancer would have,

0:25:45 > 0:25:48so I'm worried that... That make sense?

0:25:48 > 0:25:50So I think I'm going to go for Aliona.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52- It is Janette.- Oh...

0:25:52 > 0:25:55She's American, and a brilliant, brilliant dancer.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56Janette Manrara.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59OK, Eggheads,

0:25:59 > 0:26:03which of these is an essential ingredient of a basic Mornay sauce?

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Cheese.- Cheese.- Cheese.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10That is cheese.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Cheese is correct.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14They have taken the lead, which is inconvenient.

0:26:14 > 0:26:20In biological classification, which principle taxonomic rank

0:26:20 > 0:26:24comes between genus and order?

0:26:28 > 0:26:31It's the sort of thing Paul could have helped with, I'm sure.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34This is more his specialist subject, I think, rather than mine.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38I think I'm going to go for...

0:26:39 > 0:26:41..class.

0:26:41 > 0:26:42OK, let's see with these Eggheads.

0:26:42 > 0:26:43Do you know this?

0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Family.- Family.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Almost went for family. I should have stuck with that idea.

0:26:48 > 0:26:49Family is the answer.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53So, Eggheads, you can take the contest with this question.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57What is the name of the BBC radio music quiz

0:26:57 > 0:27:02that was first hosted by Ned Sherrin in the 1980s?

0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Counterpoint.- Counterpoint. - It should be Counterpoint.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10It is Counterpoint. He did host it, definitely.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11- Yeah.- No question about it.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14- He was the original host. - Yeah, he definitely hosted it, yeah.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17That is Counterpoint.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19If you're right, you've taken the contest,

0:27:19 > 0:27:21because there's no way back for our Challenger.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22The answer is Counterpoint.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24That's your second correct answer in this round,

0:27:24 > 0:27:27and we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Oh, commiserations, James. Sorry.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37They are in quite a lethal mood at the moment,

0:27:37 > 0:27:38slogging out around the pitch.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40- They are.- Home runs.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42Hit it out of the park, as they'd say.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Well, thank you for playing. I hope you enjoyed it.

0:27:44 > 0:27:45- Thank you, I did.- OK. Good stuff.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48And the rest of the team, did you enjoy it back there?

0:27:48 > 0:27:49- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50Well, don't... I'm sorry if they've...

0:27:50 > 0:27:52They're playing so well at the moment.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56It's kind of wonderful to watch, in a strange, beguiling way,

0:27:56 > 0:27:59seeing you do what comes naturally to you.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01You've continued your winning streak.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04It means the Challengers are not going home with the £13,000.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07We'll take that money and we'll roll it over to our next show.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10Eggheads, well done. Who on earth will beat you?

0:28:10 > 0:28:13I can't imagine it ever happening. Well, maybe it will.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers

0:28:15 > 0:28:18have the brains to finally defeat them.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20There will be £14,000 to play for.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22Until then, goodbye.
