0:00:04 > 0:00:08These 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 > 0:00:31pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Steely today? - Yes, definitely.- OK.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths are...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Now, this team all used to work together at a retail company
0:00:43 > 0:00:47based in Milton Keynes, and they've remained friends ever since.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Glen, and I'm a talent manager for a hotel chain.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Dave, and I'm an accountant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Duncan, and I'm a business development manager.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Dave, and I'm a finance reporting manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi, my name's Luke, and I'm an accountant.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Glen, team, welcome. - Hello.- Hi, Jeremy.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07So, tell us about the team name first of all.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11The four guys were all accountants at the retail company
0:01:11 > 0:01:15you were talking about, erm, and I'm a talent manager, so I think
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I probably came off a bit better with that team name than they did!
0:01:18 > 0:01:22A talent manager as in you work in a hotel chain, is it, or...?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Yeah, so, I look after internal moves and making sure that
0:01:25 > 0:01:27we've got the right people in the right jobs, basically.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Oh, right, so is that what they call...?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Is that personnel now, what they used to call personnel?
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Yeah, so, it's within HR, yeah.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- And you quiz together, as well, don't you?- Only recently.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I mean, we all quiz kind of individually, erm, but we
0:01:39 > 0:01:42have recently attended our first couple of events, and we've done OK.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- I think, you know, we'll be all right today.- Respectable.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48So you've got maths and you've got talent, that's all you need.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Good luck. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:51 > 0:01:53up for grabs for our challengers.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03the Eggheads have won the last 14 games, they're doing really well.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06So much so that Barry has been developing -
0:02:06 > 0:02:08what is it, Barry? The jazz-hands?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10It is indeed, and today I have the shirt for it as well!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Go on, then.- Whoa! - THEY LAUGH
0:02:13 > 0:02:16So, they're steaming along, they're feeling confident, they're doing
0:02:16 > 0:02:19the jazz-hands, you've got to stop them, and if you do you win £15,000.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Excellent. - It's a good jackpot today.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28And you can take on either Judith, Dave, Kevin, Barry or Lisa.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Right...- So, that's me, right? - That's you.- Yeah, that's you.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- It's Dave.- So, Luke, who did you decide is the weakest on History?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Well, there's not really a weak link, but, erm,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I think maybe take on Dave?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40- Dave?- Dave?- Dave, OK.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So it's Dave from this side, and obviously, Luke,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45you watch the show and you've war-gamed it, have you?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Well, I've tried to, yeah.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Being an accountant, I've got a spreadsheet, of course, so...
0:02:49 > 0:02:50I've tried to plan it out, so...
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I thought there might be a spreadsheet somewhere.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Yeah, there's always a spreadsheet, yeah, of course.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Dave C from Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent is going to
0:02:56 > 0:02:59take on the talented Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Eggheads on History, and to make sure there's no conferring
0:03:02 > 0:03:03would you please, for the first time, go to our
0:03:03 > 0:03:05legendary Question Room?
0:03:06 > 0:03:11- Dave C, you can go first or second. - Erm, I'll go first, please.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Here we go, good luck.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17The lighthouse known as the Pharos,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was in which city?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Erm, yep, I know about this, erm, lighthouse. It was destroyed.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31It was in Egypt, so it was in Alexandria.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- Yeah, nice. Alexandria's right. You been to Egypt?- Never, no.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I'd love to go, though. Maybe in a couple of years.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Have you been, Tremendous Knowledge Dave?- Yes, I've been to Egypt, yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Just to the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm El Sheikh.- OK, your question.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Which of these British aircraft were first used in World War I?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Yes, well, I'm... I'm losing it here!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58HE LAUGHS
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Oh, I'm having a brain freeze!
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Let me think...
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Sopwith Camel.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Sopwith Camel's right. - Sorry, I just...!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11What was going on? Was it, er...?
0:04:11 > 0:04:16- Just... Just all over the place.- Oh. - The trajectory was going all wrong.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Not to worry. Well, Dave C, this looks promising.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Obviously something's going on on the other side we don't know.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Let's hope so.- Here's your question.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Which of these historic figures was born first?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Erm, so I know that Attila the Hun was before Genghis Khan.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Peter the Great of Russia, I'm not too sure, but I'm pretty sure,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42erm, Attila the Hun was around before Russia even existed,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45so I'm going to go for Attila the Hun, please.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Let's see what your team-mates think. What do you think?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- No idea.- Playing with a bit of confidence there, isn't he?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- He seems to know what he's talking about.- Did you...?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Were you aware of this history knowledge he's got?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Had an inkling. He said he's, you know,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59got good geography and history knowledge, so...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01OK, well, Attila the Hun is quite right.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Well done, Dave C.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08OK, Tremendous Knowledge Dave, see if you can get yourself together.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Yes.- What relation was Queen Victoria to William IV?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- William IV, yeah?- Yeah.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19OK, erm...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Let me just get all me dates together.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I believe...
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Niece.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Niece is correct.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Dave C, get this one right, you might be through to the final.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37The Battle of the Bulge began in the winter of which year?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So, the Battle of the Bulge, if I remember correctly,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48was one of the later battles of World War II, towards the end, erm,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51on the Continent, so I believe it's 1944.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Yeah, really good, you're absolutely right. 1944.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Your team are looking suitably... - Shocked!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I didn't want to say shocked, I didn't want to say shocked.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Let's just say interested.- OK!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05JEREMY LAUGHS
0:06:05 > 0:06:07You've played a storming round so far.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Let's see if you've knocked Dave out. Dave, your third question.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14What is the name of the 1897 battle in which 21 Sikh soldiers of
0:06:14 > 0:06:19the British Indian Army held off over 10,000 Afghan tribesmen
0:06:19 > 0:06:21in a famous rear-guard action?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Right, I've not heard of this battle at all.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Barry will be suitably angry.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Let's have a think. Right, I don't think it's Kohima.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Now let me have a look at the word Saragarhi...
0:06:44 > 0:06:45It could be that.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I've not heard of this battle at all.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Erm, I'm going to have to have a guess.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52The Battle of Mirbat, please.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Battle of Mirbat is your answer. Well, you mentioned Barry.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Barry, you were, I thought, struggling with this, I don't know.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59No, I don't know this.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I know it's not Kohima, cos that's what stopped the Japanese
0:07:02 > 0:07:04from invading India in the Second World War.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05- OK.- I don't know this one.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07The Battle of Saragarhi is the right answer.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Oh, right, fair enough, well done. - Dave C, you're in the final round.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- Oh, well played.- Well played.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14You properly out-quizzed him there, Dave C, that's very impressive.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Doesn't happen very often. You will be in the final.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Return to us, both of you, and we'll play Round Two.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Well, our challengers are Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27You've won a round without even deploying the talent yet.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29So, none of you have been knocked out.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32The Eggheads have lost a brain.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34We play on, and the subject is Arts & Books.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Who'd like this?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Luke, what's the strategy?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39This was probably our worst scenario, wasn't it?
0:07:39 > 0:07:40So it'll be probably me...
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- I quizzed you this morning on some, Luke.- Shall I have a go?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44- I'll have a go. - I think Luke, probably, yeah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46It's going to be Luke, OK, another Maths Geek.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- So who would you like to take on? - I'm going to take on Barry, I think.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- You're going to go for Barry, yeah?- Yes.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'm going to take on Barry, please.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Well, that sounds like a Maths Geek taking on a maths geek to me.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59So, Luke from Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent
0:07:59 > 0:08:03versus Barry from the Eggheads, please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Tell us about your work, then, Luke. What kind of accountancy?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10So I'm actually a commercial analyst,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12so not, like, hard-core accountancy.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16So, more of the sort of working with the retail side of the business,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19really, so I'd like to think it was the more fun part, really.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Yeah, cos there are certain parts of accountancy that are less exciting.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Yeah, less exciting's probably the best way to put it, yeah.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I like to think I do more of the sort of entertaining stuff.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31So, Luke, good luck here. You're up against, I think, a similar soul.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Barry, I think in another life you probably were an accountant.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Yeah, I've got an accountancy degree!- You have, have you?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Yes, I have.- Ah, you see, I didn't even know that, and I suspected.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43So, Arts & Books, Luke. Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Erm, I'll go first, please.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50And here we go with your first question.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52The poet TS Eliot was born in which year?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, I don't... I don't actually know, to be honest.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Erm, I'm going to...
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I've got a bit of an inkling, so I'm just going to go with 1888.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Yeah, he... I think some people say
0:09:09 > 0:09:11he's the first modern poet, actually.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15So he was heading into the 20th century.
0:09:15 > 0:09:171888 is right.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Barry...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Which children's book begins with these lines -
0:09:23 > 0:09:24"The sun did not shine
0:09:24 > 0:09:25"It was too wet to play
0:09:25 > 0:09:28"So we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day"?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Well, it certainly doesn't sound like Mr Popper's Penguins,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40and The Cat In The Hat, Dr Seuss famously used very few words,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43and I think there were more words in that sentence
0:09:43 > 0:09:45than there would be in the entire Cat In The Hat.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49So I shall go for Maurice Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Lisa has her head in her hands. Lisa?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53The beginning of Where The Wild Things Are goes,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55"The night Max wore his wolf suit
0:09:55 > 0:09:58"and caused one kind of trouble and another", or something like that.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01There are actually very few words in Where The Wild Things Are.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- It's The Cat In The Hat. - The Cat In The Hat, Barry.- Really?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Oh, you surprise me!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Where The Wild Things Are, very early on,
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- introduces the concept of the child wearing a wolf suit, Lisa?- Yes.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So, that was, er, not noticeable in the lines I read.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18OK. Luke.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24What title did Robert Graves give to his 1929 autobiographical work
0:10:24 > 0:10:27that recounted his experiences in World War I?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I'm just looking for something in the question to help me
0:10:34 > 0:10:37with any of the answers but nothing's springing to mind.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Um, I'm going to go for a good old strategy of going straight
0:10:39 > 0:10:42down the middle, I think, so I'll go with Good-Bye To All That.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43JEREMY LAUGHS
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Maybe you've got a following wind, you guys.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Good-Bye To All That is the right answer.- Yes!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50And I'm just thinking De Profundis was Oscar Wilde
0:10:50 > 0:10:52and Leviathan was Thomas Hobbes, was it, guys?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yes, indeed.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56OK, Good-Bye To All That.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- So, Barry...- I'm thinking this might be Good-Bye To All That for me!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It might well be, you're getting the full audit
0:11:01 > 0:11:03from the accountant here.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06So, Barry, get this wrong, you're out.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10The Art Deco movement is typically said to have emerged
0:11:10 > 0:11:13in which decade of the 20th century?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Now I always get confused between Art Nouveau,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23which is at the end of the 19th century and Art Deco.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26But I'm pretty certain that Art Deco was in the 1920s.
0:11:26 > 0:11:271920s is correct. He's got a point.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30He's saved himself, Luke, but you can
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- end the round right here.- OK.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Your question.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41"Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth"
0:11:41 > 0:11:43is a quote by which poet?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51So the good news is I have actually heard of all three.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Um, the bad news is I don't know the answer.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Um...
0:11:56 > 0:12:00I'm going to go with my gut, I'm going to go with Philip Larkin.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02The guessing's going well when you don't know.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03It's really, really good, team.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Philip Larkin is the right answer.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Well done.- Yes!
0:12:06 > 0:12:07You're in the final, Luke.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Barry, you're knocked out.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12And they've been through a whole sequence of games where they
0:12:12 > 0:12:13haven't even lost a single Egghead.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15This is really interesting now.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Well done. You're in the final, Luke.- Brilliant.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Come back to us and we'll play the next round.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Four Maths Geeks and a Bit of Talent have not lost any brains from
0:12:24 > 0:12:28the final round. The Eggheads have lost two and this is after a sequence of games
0:12:28 > 0:12:30where you've been five in the final, haven't you, Eggs?
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Mmm.- So I'm sensing the panic on this side now,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36which you've got to keep hammering away here.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38The next subject is Sport.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39This is good, who wants this?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- This is definitely...- I'll take that one.- This is definitely Dave.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44OK, Dave, our finance reporting manager.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46So another Geek.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49And which Egghead? It can't, obviously, be Barry or Dave.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51We'll go for Kevin.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54So Dave P from Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent
0:12:54 > 0:12:57is now taking the gamble of going in against Kevin,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00trying to knock him out, with £15,000 to play for.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03So to ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07So Sport, Dave P, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Er, let's keep it going, I'll go first, please.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15All right, we've got a team playing brilliantly here.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17This could be turning point in the contest. Let's see.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Dave, your question. How many Olympic gold medals has the athlete Mo Farah won?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28So he won two in Brazil and he's won two in London
0:13:28 > 0:13:30so I'll go for four.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Four is right.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Yeah, repeated it in Brazil.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Kevin...
0:13:35 > 0:13:38In September 2016, which of these Formula 1 drivers
0:13:38 > 0:13:41announced that he would be retiring from the sport
0:13:41 > 0:13:43at the end of that season?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52This one passed me by but I don't see either Hamilton or Vettel
0:13:52 > 0:13:56going for it, they're still very much at the peak of their
0:13:56 > 0:13:59careers, really, still going strong, whereas Massa has been around
0:13:59 > 0:14:02for a long time, so I'll say Felipe Massa.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Felipe Massa is correct, so one each.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Back to Dave.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Which England cricketer has been nicknamed Malfoy
0:14:09 > 0:14:12due to a perceived similarity to a character
0:14:12 > 0:14:14from the Harry Potter films?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I can't say I'm a big fan of Harry Potter, so...
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Um, but...
0:14:23 > 0:14:24I think I...
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I'm just going to go down the middle.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I'm going to go for Ben Stokes.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Ben Stokes...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Team-mates? - We think it's Stuart Broad.- Yeah.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36It is Stuart Broad. Is cricket not your thing?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Um, no, I do like cricket but I must admit I've never heard that before.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42So you either know or you don't.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44First wrong question
0:14:44 > 0:14:46from our Challengers in Round Three.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Unprecedented. Kevin has a chance to take the lead.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52What does the E stand for in the controversial TUEs,
0:14:52 > 0:14:57as famously used by Bradley Wiggins in 2011 and 2012?
0:15:01 > 0:15:06It's when a sportsperson is allowed to take a particular
0:15:06 > 0:15:09type of medication.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Let's say because of a condition
0:15:11 > 0:15:15that otherwise might be considered on the banned side.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20So the TUE stands for Therapeutic Use Exemption,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22so it's exemption.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Exemption is right.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Now for the first time you're on the back foot, you guys.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Dave, you need this to stay in, or Kevin's knocked you out.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Who was the Liverpool football manager in January 2011
0:15:35 > 0:15:41when they paid a reported £36 million for the striker Andy Carroll?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Who was this?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Did you say 2011, sorry?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51January 2011.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Um, so it's not Brendan Rodgers,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56who was a bit later than that.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Er...
0:15:59 > 0:16:02I'm going to say Kenny Dalglish.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Team-mates?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Yeah, that's fine.- We like that. Kenny Dalglish is right,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08well done. You're equal.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10If Kevin takes this, he's got the round.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Anthony Watson typically plays in which position for
0:16:13 > 0:16:15the England rugby union team?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22No, I'm not too familiar with Anthony Watson, I'm afraid.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25With all due respect to him, it would be nice
0:16:25 > 0:16:28if he had a slightly more distinctive name.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Um...
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Which one is he?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I don't recognise his name as a...
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I don't think I recognise his name as a fly half, anyway.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Anthony Watson.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Maybe on the wing.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46No, I can't sort of visualise him.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I can't place him but I'll...
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I'll go with my first instinct which is lock.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Lock is your answer.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Dave, do you know this one?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Um, I don't, rugby's not my thing.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- Wing is the answer, Kevin, you got it wrong.- OK.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04You forced him to Sudden Death, Dave, well done.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It gets a bit harder now, I don't give you options on the questions.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Here is your first.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14Which annual American event inaugurated in 1875
0:17:14 > 0:17:17is billed as the most exciting two minutes in sports?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Um...
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I've not heard of this at all.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26No, I can't think of anything, I'm going to have to pass.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28OK, pass. Kevin, do you know this?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Kentucky Derby.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Kentucky Derby is right, or the Run for the Roses.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Kevin, you can take the round.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41Which Denver Bronchos quarterback lost three times at the Super Bowl
0:17:41 > 0:17:45before finally triumphing on successive occasions in 1998
0:17:45 > 0:17:47and 1999?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Yeah, I mean, he was considered one of the greatest
0:17:50 > 0:17:53quarterbacks and had a quite an unlucky streak with that.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I think it's John Elway.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57The correct answer is John Elway.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- I was in the States watching his '99 victory.- Oh.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I remember the big fuss, so I remember it, yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04John Elway's right and that means
0:18:04 > 0:18:06an Egghead has taken a round now.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Which almost sounds like a news story in this very difficult game for them.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Sorry, Dave, you have been knocked out.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Is this the beginning of the fight back? Let's see.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Come back to us and we'll play the last round before the final.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Are the Eggheads embarked on a comeback?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent have now lost a brain
0:18:23 > 0:18:25from the final round.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27The Eggheads have lost two, though.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29The next subject is Film & TV.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31If you can win this one you're going to be in a great position
0:18:31 > 0:18:33in the final. So who wants this?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:18:34 > 0:18:36We're going to deploy the talent.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Oh, right, the talent's going in.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41OK, Glen team captain into the breach against
0:18:41 > 0:18:44either of the ladies at the extreme end.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I think Judith.- Judith, yeah. Can we go for Judith, please?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49OK. Good stuff. Feeling good about this, Judith?
0:18:49 > 0:18:50What?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I didn't hear what you said.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54You may have caught her unawares.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58So it's Glen from Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent
0:18:58 > 0:19:00to play Judith from the Eggheads.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03We'll see you in the booth in a second for Round Four.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Glen, good luck here.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Would you like to go first or second against the great Judith?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Going first seems to be working well so far, so we'll stick with that.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18And here is your first question.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Glen, who is the presenter of the TV series DIY SOS?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32We were actually talking about another TV programme
0:19:32 > 0:19:35that he presents, another game show, actually, earlier.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Um, so I'm pretty sure that it's Nick Knowles.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Nick Knowles is the right answer.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Judith, your question.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Which animated film of 2016 was based on an original story
0:19:48 > 0:19:52by Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Evan Goldberg?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02I'm very bad at who writes these sort of films.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Maybe Finding Dory.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07No, Judith. Have you seen Sausage Party?
0:20:07 > 0:20:12No. I haven't seen Finding Dory or Kubo And The Two Strings either.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Sausage Party is the right answer. - Oh.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19OK, so this has started well for you, Glen.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Which actor appears in the films Step Brothers,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24The Lego Movie and Daddy's Home?
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Um...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Three of my favourite comedy films.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Um...
0:20:33 > 0:20:37So, yeah, absolutely it's Will Ferrell.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Absolutely, it is Will Ferrell. Well done.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Two points to you.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Judith, if this is the Eggheads' rearguard action
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- it's...- Got to do better.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Now is the moment.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Otherwise they're going to have some serious firepower
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- in the final round.- They're too good. They're brilliant.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55They're very good.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Here is your question to stay in the contest.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01In which decade did the British actress Glenda Jackson
0:21:01 > 0:21:03win two Academy awards?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11She's back on stage now aged 80-something.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14I was wondering what she...
0:21:14 > 0:21:16won them for.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Elizabeth, maybe.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Um...
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And that film...
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I think it might have been the '70s.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Let's check with the Eggheads here.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Do we know the decade?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Yeah, '70s.- Do we know the films?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Women In Love and A Touch Of Class.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Yes, you're right.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Judith, Women In Love and A Touch Of Class.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38A Touch Of Class, that's the one.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I'm sensing a little bit that we're all over the place on this side
0:21:42 > 0:21:46but you do need to capitalise here, team captain.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Pete Wicks and Megan McKenna have both been regular cast members
0:21:49 > 0:21:51of which reality TV show?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01I think, I don't know, I've got an inkling...
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Those names don't sound like they're the kind of posh stars of Chelsea.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09I don't know anything about the Housewives Of Cheshire.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I'm going to take a stab in the dark at The Only Way Is Essex.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Team-mates?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Yes, absolutely. - The Only Way Is Essex it is.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Well done, Glen, you're in the final round.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Judith, you've been knocked out. Another Egghead knocked out.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25So if you come back to us we will play this final for £15,000.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Well, this has been a wake-up call for the Eggheads over here.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33You've had a run of games where you've lost no Eggs at all -
0:22:33 > 0:22:37no rounds - and you've taken down as many Eggheads in this game
0:22:37 > 0:22:40as I think we've seen taken down in about seven or eight
0:22:40 > 0:22:42of the last games in total.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44So, remarkable so far, but you haven't won yet.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46This is what we're playing towards.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47It is time for the final round.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It's for £15,000.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:53 > 0:22:55won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57So we have to say goodbye to Dave P
0:22:57 > 0:22:59from Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent
0:22:59 > 0:23:02but also Barry, Dave and Judith.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Would you now please leave the studio?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Glen, Dave, Duncan and Luke, the Geeks and the Talent,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12you're playing to win your team £15,000.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Lisa and Kevin, after quite a battle here -
0:23:15 > 0:23:17a painful one for the Eggheads - you're playing for something
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I can't even put a price on, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26They're all General Knowledge and you can confer.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28So Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32the question is, are your four brains able to defeat
0:23:32 > 0:23:33these two?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35We've seen how well you quiz. Can't wait for this.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- We've got to go first.- Go first.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44OK, take your time.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46£15,000 you're playing for. Here's your first question.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Which of these is a famous arrangement of a piece of music
0:23:51 > 0:23:53by Johann Sebastian Bach?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I don't think it's the G String one, is it?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I've heard of Ride Of The Valkyries.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12The only thing I'd say is because Bach was from Central Europe.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- I don't think Ride Of The Valkyries is Bach.- No.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17It's just the only one I've heard of.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- What was your thoughts?- I was only going to say because Valkyries
0:24:20 > 0:24:23is Germanic and he was a Germanic guy.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24That's the one I've heard of.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27So to call it Ride Of The Valkyries... So many composers were.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I don't really know.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Messiah Oratorio doesn't sound Germanic.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Messiah Oratorio sounds like it's more Italian.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34- Italian, yeah.- I was thinking that.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- So...- Middle.- We've nothing better to go on.- Just go with it, yeah.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40We're going to go with Ride Of The Valkyries, please.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Ride Of The Valkyries is your answer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Let's just start, Eggheads, with Messiah Oratorio.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Can you help us out with that?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- That's Handel. - That's Handel.- Handel.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Ride of the Valkyries, you will have
0:24:50 > 0:24:52seen Apocalypse Now because you love your movies.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- That's the one where they come over...- Yes.- ..the helicopter.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57That's Wagner. Air On The G String is the right answer.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Eggheads...
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Which of the British Isles has a flag known as the Triskelion?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- That's the Isle of Man. - Yeah, with the three legs.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Yeah, yeah.- It's called the Triskelion because the symbol
0:25:15 > 0:25:18is three legs joined at the hip,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21so they form a kind of wheel arrangement.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23It's the Isle of Man.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26I know that flag and I've always wondered what's going on there.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27You've explained it, thank you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Isle of Man is the right answer.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Challengers, they're ahead.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Your question.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Teddy Boys of the 1950s were named after what?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I don't think there's anything Edwardian about them.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47No, weren't they on scooters?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I think they wear jackets. I don't know.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Didn't they have suits?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54They were the guys on the scooters.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55No, no.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I think it's the Edwardian era.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Maybe. Or Elgar.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Shall we do a little team vote?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03If I vote I'd go Edward Elgar, is what I'd go.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05What would you go for?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I think it's Winnie-the-Pooh.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I've got a sneaky feeling it is, as well.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- Teddy Boys, a teddy bear. - They didn't look like teddy bears.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13But they used to always call people Edward,
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- they used to always call them Teddy. - What did Winnie-the-Pooh wear?
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Oh, yeah, Teddy, Edward.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20That's good logic.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I'm happy to go with that. Elgar.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Yeah, they always used to call Edward, Teddy.- Yeah.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Let's go with that logic.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27All right, it's a guess
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- but we're going to go with Edward Elgar.- Edward Elgar.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Teddy Boys, they had these long tunics things, didn't they?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Yes.- Is that the point about them?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39They had these long tunics.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43They had a uniform in terms of jacket and shoes
0:26:43 > 0:26:48but the jackets were the sort of pastiche of things
0:26:48 > 0:26:50from the Edwardian era.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53The Edwardian era is the right answer.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Oh!
0:26:55 > 0:26:56After your brilliant run,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58it's getting very difficult to see a way through
0:26:58 > 0:27:01but the Eggheads need to get an answer right, still.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06Here's your question. In Greek mythology, who was the husband of Medea?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10If you get this right the contest is over.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12It wasn't a position anyone was auditioning for
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- once they realised what she was like.- What she was like, no.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Jason, wasn't it? - Jason and Medea, yeah.- Mmm.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Yeah. OK.- OK. - You're happy with that?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23And she... It wasn't a good idea as it turned out,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26because she later took terrible revenge,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28but it was Jason.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30If you've got it right the contest is over.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32After a storming performance by our Challengers,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35it's just been a difficult final round for them.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37The answer, Eggheads, is Jason.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40We have to say, congratulations, you have won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49After your amazing performance I never would have seen that coming.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- What can I say?- We would have done.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- We did.- What can I say?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- But you didn't snatch at them, you genuinely discussed them.- Yeah.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58And it didn't happen.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- I think it's those long smocks that they wear.- Yeah, very long...
0:28:01 > 0:28:04And also cravat-y style, I suppose.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Edwardian era, yeah.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09And the one before, let's not even think about it.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Oh, Four Maths Geeks And A Bit Of Talent
0:28:11 > 0:28:14you ran them so close, these Eggheads, and in the end
0:28:14 > 0:28:17they've... Well, they've saved the day here.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20They've done what comes naturally, this winning streak continues.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22You gave them more of a battering in this game than they've had
0:28:22 > 0:28:25in literally the last nine or ten, I would think.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Quite easily.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29And it means you won't be going home with the £15,000.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31We will roll that money over to our next show.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Eggheads, even on a difficult day, you still win.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35You are amazing.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:38 > 0:28:40have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42There'll be £16,000 to play for.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Until then, goodbye.
