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?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:33 > 0:00:37are the Remote Chancers. Now, most of this family and friends team
0:00:37 > 0:00:39live near Mote Park in Maidstone
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and attend fundraising quizzes for Maidstone United.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Shelagh, I'm a university administrator.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Shaughan and I'm the manager of a bookmaker's.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Anne and I'm a semi-retired primary school teacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hello, I'm Trevor, I'm a volunteer at my local hospice.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Jon and I'm an IT design architect.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02So, Shelagh and team, hello.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Hi!- Hello.- Good to see you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07And just tell us, the name Remote Chancers...
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Tell us why.- We all live near Mote Park in Maidstone,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15which is a beautiful park, so that is our connection.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Oh, good, so the park is at the centre of it.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Yeah.- Have you done any quizzing in the park?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Yes, we've quizzed at the leisure centre in the park for a Kent quiz,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- yeah.- OK, and have you chosen each other for different subject areas?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Yes, yes, we have.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33We've all got our strengths and we just hope our subjects come up.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34All right. Good luck.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Thank you.- I wish you well.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:38 > 0:01:42for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46So they've won the last 15 games,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48which means there's £16,000 to play for.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Shelagh and team, you can choose between Chris, Dave, Kevin,
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Barry and Lisa.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- You?- Be me, then.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Yeah? Which egg do you want?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Anne, OK.- I'll take Politics.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Primary school teacher. Against any one of the five, Anne.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Oh, let's have... Let's have us ladies.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I'll take Lisa, please.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12It's going to be Anne from the Remote Chancers
0:02:12 > 0:02:15taking on Lisa on Politics from the Eggheads.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16First round and, please,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20to ensure there is no conferring, go to our famous Question Room.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Politics, Anne, and would you like to go first or second against Lisa?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I'll go first, please.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And here is your first question, Anne. Good luck.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Which politician married Kirsten Mehr in 1999?
0:02:36 > 0:02:41Let me spell it - K-I-R-S-T-E-N and then M-E-H-R.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45I'm not sure of this.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Nick Clegg is married to a lady who's Spanish, I think.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I think Nigel Farage's wife is German.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00It sounds as if it could be a German name, so I'll go for Nigel Farage,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- please.- On the basis that his wife is German,
0:03:02 > 0:03:06and you are absolutely right. Well done, Anne. Kirsten Mehr.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Lisa, which of these politicians had served as governor of Georgia before
0:03:12 > 0:03:15becoming President of the United States?
0:03:19 > 0:03:20OK, it's not Obama.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24For some reason, I don't think it's Reagan either.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26But I'm not actually sure.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I'm really... I'm struggling.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I'm struggling. I'll try Jimmy Carter.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Jimmy Carter is your answer.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Yes, of course it's Jimmy Carter. Anne, back to you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Which of these politicians was forced to install iron shutters
0:03:39 > 0:03:43on their house after angry protesters had broken the windows?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53I think I would have heard of it if it had been Margaret Thatcher.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59Duke of Wellington, I can't think why anybody would be angry with him.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'll go for Neville Chamberlain.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03At the beginning of World War II, I don't know.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Neville Chamberlain.- You have got the logic of that completely,
0:04:07 > 0:04:08but it is the wrong answer.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11It's the Duke of Wellington, Anne.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Lisa has a chance to take the lead.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16The 1834 Tamworth Manifesto came to be seen as establishing
0:04:16 > 0:04:20the principles, Lisa, of which modern political party?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26For 1834, it would be pushing it a little bit for the Lib Dems.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I will try, I think, Labour.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Oh, OK.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Barry?- No, it's Conservative. It's the foundation of
0:04:37 > 0:04:40the modern Conservative Party under Robert Peel.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Conservative is the answer. OK, well, well.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- That's handy, Anne.- Yeah. - Here is your next question.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48The First International,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50an organisation which brought together
0:04:50 > 0:04:52left-wing and anarchist groups,
0:04:52 > 0:04:56was founded in 1864 in which city?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I don't think it would be Chicago.
0:05:01 > 0:05:07I can't think of any radical groups coming out of America then.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I think I'll just plump for London, because it's the bigger place
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and more likely to have more happening there.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18You know, that's very good quizzing. You're quite right. It is London.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Well done, Anne.- Thank you.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Left-wing and anarchist groups in London.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26OK. So, Lisa, on the edge.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Which term is used for a member of the United States electoral college
0:05:31 > 0:05:35who casts their vote for a different presidential candidate
0:05:35 > 0:05:37from whom they had pledged?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44It's going well today, isn't it?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49OK. Duplicitous voter...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yeah, I'm not really liking that.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56Then you have the problem of false delegate, which sounds better,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59or faithless elector, which sounds more dramatic and works with
0:05:59 > 0:06:02the fact that they are members of the electoral college.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Right, um...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I'll try false delegate.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Yeah, I think language-wise that probably was the choice,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- but is it right, Eggheads? - No, it's faithless elector.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Faithless elector is the answer, Lisa.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Oh, what a sticky round for you there!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22You've been knocked out. Well done, Anne. Well done, Challengers.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24What a good start from our primary school teacher.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27OK, you've taken on an Egghead, you've emerged triumphant.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29You will be in the final round, Anne.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32You're there. Come back to us, both of you. Rejoin your teams.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Oh, so a good start for our Challengers.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Well done. Remote Chancers have not lost any brains
0:06:39 > 0:06:42from the final round. The Eggheads have lost Lisa.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44The next subject for you is music.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47So who would like this? Oh, it went very quiet there.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Someone's musical, they must be.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- What are we saying?- I'm tempted for Jon to go for it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- I think Jon or Shaughan. - What do you think, Jon?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Jon?- I can take it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- I'll take it.- You sure? - Yeah.- OK, Jon.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Our IT design architect.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Against which Egghead? Can't be Lisa.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Not Dave.- Chris?- Chris?- Yeah. I think I'll take Chris.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12So, Jon from Remote Chancers versus Chris from the Eggheads on music,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14and please go to our Question Room.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18OK. Jon, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26All right. Which song starts with the line,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I got my first real six string
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Bought it at the five and dime?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37OK. I think I know this one.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40And I think it's a Bryan Adams song.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43And I think it is Summer Of '69.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45The answer is Summer Of '69.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Well done. Oh, Lisa, can we prevail?
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Give us the notes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52# Got my first real six string
0:07:52 > 0:07:54# Bought it at the five and dime... #
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Yay!
0:07:56 > 0:07:57That's great.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00OK, Chris. Johnny Marr became famous
0:08:00 > 0:08:03playing which instrument for The Smiths?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09They did have a keyboard player, so I'll go keyboard.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Oh, lawks a daisy!
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Dave, we need to just rationally give the right answer here.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It's the guitar. The guitarist.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's a guitar. Without any show of emotion.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Dave is crying, Chris.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Oh, well.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26OK. Well, look, this is good, Jon.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Your question. Which singer recorded the US number one album
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Cheek To Cheek with Tony Bennett and went on tour with him in 2015?
0:08:39 > 0:08:45Must admit, I've not heard of... that particular name.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I don't think it would have been Rihanna.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I don't think it would be Britney Spears.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52So I'm going to go right down the middle with Lady Gaga.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54And Lady Gaga is the right answer.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55You're playing really well.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01OK, Chris. In 2016, which band announced Blue And Lonesome
0:09:01 > 0:09:05would be their first studio album in over a decade?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10And you must get this right.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- I know, I know.- Sorry to remind you.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Toss-up between Genesis and Led Zeppelin.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Down the middle, Genesis.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It's not Genesis. It's not Led Zeppelin.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- It was the Rolling Stones. - Oh.- The only ones who, I suppose,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28have got a bit of a blues thing going on.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Chris, you've been knocked out there.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Straight down the middle. Well done, Jon. How about that?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35You're in the final round. It's going well for our Challengers.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Return to us, please, both of you, and we'll see what happens next.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Now, Remote Chancers have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Even I'm getting excited here.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46This looks promising, but keep pressing them.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49You really have to, because they can strike back.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52The Eggheads have lost two already, and the next subject,
0:09:52 > 0:09:53the third round, is Sport.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Who is the sportsperson?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- You, then, Shaughan.- OK.- Reserve, yeah.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- I'll go for it.- Shaughan, right.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01And you can choose any Egghead there
0:10:01 > 0:10:03apart from, obviously, Lisa or Chris.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Might as well give it a go with Kevin.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06We're going to go for Kevin.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Yeah?- I'd like to play Kevin, please.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Always got to take him on at some point.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11So, Shaughan from Remote Chancers,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14trying his luck against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Can you knock Kevin out?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Let's see. Take your positions, please, in our Question Room.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Shaughan, Sport it is.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Your team is playing brilliantly, but this could be a crucial round.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Would you like to go first or second against Kevin?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Well, it's going quite well, so I'll go first, please.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35And here we go, then, with your first question.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37At professional tennis tournaments,
0:10:37 > 0:10:42what are typically changed every seven or nine games in a match?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I'm pretty confident on this one.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49So I believe it is the balls.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The balls change. Yeah, balls.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56OK, Kevin.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01According to the rules of golf, what is the minimum depth of a golf hole?
0:11:04 > 0:11:05I'm not sure I've seen the depth.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09I believe the width has to be about four and a quarter.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I think it must be four inches.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Yeah, can't be any less than four inches. Well done.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Oh, I thought it was going to go wrong there, Shaughan.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I thought you were going to get the rub of the green, as they say.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Second question for you.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25In 2016, who refereed the finals of the FA Cup,
0:11:25 > 0:11:29the Champions League and the European Championships?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37OK. Well, I believe Graham Poll had retired then.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Might not be Atkinson.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I think Clattenburg's the more high-profile,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46so I'm going to go with Mark Clattenburg.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It is indeed. He's doing everything. Mark Clattenburg's right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Well done. Very busy in 2016.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55OK, Kevin. Which French word is used in cycling
0:11:55 > 0:11:59to refer to someone's record of achievements in the sport?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Well, a Domestique is a member of a team,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08one of the sort of following riders in a team.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12I don't think I've ever heard the word Palmares
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and I don't know what the derivation would be.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I have somewhere heard the word Bidon.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Oh, dear, now I've thought of something
0:12:23 > 0:12:27and that's caused me to go 50-50, really.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Oh, dear. Because you could make a case for Palmares,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33in the sense of somebody being crowned with a laurel wreath
0:12:33 > 0:12:35or something like that, you know, a palm.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I don't know what this word, Palmares, is, but I can see it.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I'm going to try Palmares.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Bidon is a water bottle, so you got it right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Well done. Odd word.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Palmares is someone's record of achievements.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Oh, you are pressing him hard here, Shaughan.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Well done. 2-2 though. You've not overcome Kevin yet.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Here is your question. Third question can be crucial.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02In 1873, Tom Kydd became the first sportsman
0:13:02 > 0:13:04to receive which famous trophy?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Not the FA Cup.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16I do recall some golf tournaments being in there that amount of time.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I'm going to go with the Claret Jug.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Claret Jug is the right answer.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Well done, Shaughan.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Three out of three. Great quizzing by our Challengers.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30And here is your question, Kevin, to stay in.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Dong Dong from China won a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics
0:13:35 > 0:13:38in the men's competition in which sport?
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Dong Dong, same name twice.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Yeah, D-O-N-G. Dong Dong.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Well, they didn't do anything,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51the Chinese didn't do anything in the BMX.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53So I'll rule that one out.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Obviously, they do extremely well in the diving.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So that's favourite, but I'm trying to...
0:14:01 > 0:14:05remember in terms of the trampoline, going back to 2012.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Because Chinese have been quite dominant
0:14:12 > 0:14:16in diving in recent Olympics,
0:14:16 > 0:14:20there are obviously more of them who have won medals in that event
0:14:20 > 0:14:24or in that sport, and so I'll have to go for diving, but I'm worried.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Trampoline is the answer, Kevin.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29You've been knocked out. Well done, Challengers.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Three in a row!
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Shaughan, you took on Kevin, not just any old Egghead.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37You emerge triumphant and it's very good news for your team.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Come back to us. We've got one more round to play before the final.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46As it stands, the Remote Chancers have not lost a single brain
0:14:46 > 0:14:49from the final round, we're almost at the final.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51The Eggheads are three down. This is two games in a row
0:14:51 > 0:14:52where you have been clobbered.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56But they can still win from this position, so be careful now.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Last subject before the final, geography.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Who would like this? - Would you like this, Trevor?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- I think that's me!- OK, Trevor, which one of these Eggheads...
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Actually, there's only Barry and Dave left.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- What about Dave?- It'll have to be Dave.- We'll try Dave.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I think we'll... Well, I'm going to try Dave.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Good stuff. Trevor from Remote Chancers taking on
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Please go to the Question Room.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Well, let's see how you do, Trevor, on geography.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24First or second?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Here is your first question. Good luck.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Which of these ports is on the coast of the English Channel?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Well, Tynemouth is on the coast in the North Sea.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Great Yarmouth is in East Anglia
0:15:45 > 0:15:48which is nowhere near the Channel, so it's got to be Weymouth.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Weymouth is quite right. Well done.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Tremendous Knowledge Dave, here's your question.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Barcelona is the capital
0:15:55 > 0:15:58of which autonomous region of north-eastern Spain?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Catalonia.- Catalonia is correct.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Over to you, Trevor.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10The three mountain ranges called Matra, Tatra and Fatra
0:16:10 > 0:16:14are often said to be represented on the flag of which country?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Well, all three countries are fairly mountainous.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Ah! I'm going to go straight down the middle and say Slovakia.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Slovakia's the right answer!
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Well done! It's going well for you guys.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36OK, Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38The Eggheads have got everything crossed back here!
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Which of these cities is in the region which was once known
0:16:42 > 0:16:44as the Austrian Riviera?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I'm going to have to think about this.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Because I thought Varna was in Bulgaria.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I can't think it's that far to Trieste.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I'm going to stick with Salzburg, please.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Eggheads?- Trieste.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Trieste is the answer. - Oh, no, sorry!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Trieste.- My apologies, Eggheads.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Is this a turning point? If you get this answer right, Trevor,
0:17:11 > 0:17:16the Eggheads are down to one in the final with £16,000 to play for.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- No pressure, then!- Lots of pressure!
0:17:19 > 0:17:25Barra, B-A-R-R-A, is a member of which Scottish island group?
0:17:25 > 0:17:26To take the round...
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Ah. I think this is going to be a wild guess.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34And I'm going to go for...
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- ..the Orkneys. - Orkney is your answer.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41If you've got this right,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45you've knocked out David and you are five on one in the final.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Eggheads, do you know?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Outer Hebrides.- Outer Hebrides is the answer, Trevor.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Oh, OK.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55So, Dave is still in,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- but you need to get this one right, Dave.- Yeah.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01By population, Dave, which is Australia's third-largest city?
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Not Canberra.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I've got to go Brisbane, Barry, sorry, mate.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Don't be sorry, Barry. - I'm happy with that answer.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15He's happy. Brisbane is the answer. You're level after three questions.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Trevor, it gets a bit harder. We go to Sudden Death on geography.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I don't give you alternative options.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22OK.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Norfolk Island in the Pacific Ocean
0:18:25 > 0:18:28is an external territory of which country?
0:18:28 > 0:18:33I know there are quite a few islands there that are protected by
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Australia and New Zealand.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38It's a toss-up between the two.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- New Zealand. - You've gone the wrong way.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43It's Australia.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- OK.- It's Australia.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48All right, Dave, your question.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50And you can take the round with this
0:18:50 > 0:18:52and, maybe, it's part of the fightback here.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Cambodia has a coastline on which gulf?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59There's the Gulf of Tonkin coming into my head,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02there's the Gulf of Siam coming into my head. Which one's right?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04If any's right?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I've just got the Gulf of Siam coming into my head,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10so that's my answer. The Gulf of Siam.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Gulf of Siam is correct.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Now known as the Gulf of Thailand, but we can accept that.- OK.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Oh, Dave, well done.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Well played. Trevor, you were beaten by our Egghead, there.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21But is it enough?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23With £16,000 to play for.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Trevor and Dave, return to us, we will play the final round.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30OK, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32It is time for our all-important final round.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36As always, it is General Knowledge, and it's £16,000.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Those of you who lost your head-to-heads will not be allowed
0:19:39 > 0:19:41to take part in this round,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43so it's only Trevor from the Remote Chancers,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46but it's Lisa, Kevin and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Shelagh, Shaughan and Jon,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55you are playing to win the Remote Chancers £16,000.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57And you have played brilliantly so far.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Barry and Dave, you are playing for something which money can't buy,
0:20:01 > 0:20:02the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08They're all General Knowledge, and you can confer.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10So, Challengers, the question is,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13can your four brains make light work of these two?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Over here. Take them down and win the money.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I really hope you can. Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25OK, Shelagh and team, good luck.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Full of admiration for your performance so far.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Here is your first question.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34How many months of the year have 31 days?
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Four months have got 30, one month hasn't, that's five.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Seven?- Seven.- We agree?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48We say seven.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Seven is right. Well done.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Eggheads, which group
0:20:52 > 0:20:56had a UK number one with their debut single,
0:20:56 > 0:20:57What Makes You Beautiful
0:20:57 > 0:20:59in 2011?
0:21:03 > 0:21:04It's 1D.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05One Direction, yeah.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I am so glad I have this man sitting on my left, here!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Our answer is One Direction.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12It is One Direction.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14OK, Challengers.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Oran is a major port in which African country?
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Is it...
0:21:22 > 0:21:24O-R-A-N.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Well, I don't, wouldn't go with Kenya.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Isn't there somewhere on the North African coast called
0:21:30 > 0:21:32some...Oran?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35That would lead more towards Algeria if it's North Africa.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Yeah. It sounds Algerian to me.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40What would you go with?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- If I had to guess, I'd go Algeria. - I think we'd going to go Algeria.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46We don't know, but we're going to guess Algeria.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Let's see. Eggheads?
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Algeria's correct.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Algeria is correct.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52OK. Ooft!
0:21:52 > 0:21:55£16,000 if you win here, Challengers.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Two Eggheads left, fighting a defensive action.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02The famous Steiff teddy bears
0:22:02 > 0:22:06are trademarked by a button placed where?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- It's in the ear.- OK.- It's in the ear.- Are you happy with that?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12- Yeah.- That's fine, I don't know.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I believe the Steiff teddy bears,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16which are worth a small fortune if you're fortunate enough to own one,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18have a button in their ear.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Well done. I thought you might struggle with this
0:22:20 > 0:22:22but in the ear is right.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Your third question.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Get this right and you may have to do no more work today.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28In 1861,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32which Scottish scientist made the first public demonstration
0:22:32 > 0:22:38of a colour photograph produced using a three-colour process?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45John Napier is logarithms, wasn't he?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Yeah.- So we'll discount him.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Maxwell... Is Maxwell not a photography...
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Has that not got something to do with a photography make?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Maxwell...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57The printing process would be about the film.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59That's the only inkling I've got.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Well, there is a connection.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Yes, I believe so.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- But whether it's the right one... - Well...- I've never heard of this.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09If there is a connection, I think we've got to go with it, don't you?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11We are going to guess...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Educated guess.- Yeah.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15..at James Clerk Maxwell.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19James Clerk Maxwell is the right answer. You're playing so well.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Well done, Challengers. You got three out of three.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Now, you need to hope the Eggheads slip up.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27If they get this right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31If they get it wrong, £16,000 is yours. Eggheads.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36Which author's 1879 book The Red Room
0:23:36 > 0:23:40has been described as the first modern novel
0:23:40 > 0:23:43in his native country's literature?
0:23:48 > 0:23:49August Strindberg, isn't it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53That came into my head before the options, to be perfectly honest.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55OK, well, I'm happy to go with that.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58The answer came into Dave's head before the options came up,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00and that's always a very good sign when you're quizzing,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04so we're going to go with Dave's answer, which is August Strindberg.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05We're playing for £16,000 here.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08If this is the wrong answer, you will have won.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10If it's right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13You've played brilliantly so far. Let's see whether you've taken it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18The 1879 book, The Red Room, was written by August Strindberg.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well done, Eggheads, you're still in it.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Sorry, Challengers, right on the edge of that 16,000 there.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28And three each in the final round. It gets harder, now, though.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31We go to Sudden Death. I don't give you alternative options.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Which medical condition,
0:24:33 > 0:24:38whose name is derived from the Greek for "bad" and "doing"
0:24:38 > 0:24:41affects coordination and dexterity?
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Well, I...
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Co-ordination.- Dyspraxia comes straight to the mind.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- "Dys" is bad.- Coordination, to me, says dyspraxia.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54That's what the children at school are diagnosed with, if they're...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- I'm happy.- If they have coordination problems.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- I've got no...- I'm happy with that.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02We say dyspraxia.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Dyspraxia.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06And Anne, you're a primary school teacher by profession, right?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I hope I haven't got it wrong.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10You haven't got it wrong. It's dyspraxia. Well done.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Well done, indeed. You've seen it, I'm sure.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17OK, Eggheads, to keep the contest alive,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21what is the title of Norman Mailer's debut novel,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23first published in 1948?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- The Naked And The Dead. - Is that his debut?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- About the Second World War? - I can't think of any other...
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I can't get anything else from that. We've got to go with that.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Well, one novel came to both of us straightaway,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38so we are going to say The Naked And The Dead.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40That is correct.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42They're still alive, they're very much alive.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Keep going, here. Sudden Death, £16,000, you're playing so well.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48You've got no answers wrong in the final round so far.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51You know what'll happen if you get one wrong, what they'll do.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55You've got to keep training your sights on these questions, Challengers.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Capablanca, Alekhine
0:25:58 > 0:26:00and Botwinnik
0:26:00 > 0:26:04were leading names in which field in the 20th century?
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Technology, science...
0:26:05 > 0:26:09There's a huge range if you don't recognise any of the names.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Medicine.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- Genetics, or...? - Genetics possibly...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- I've got no idea...- It's not anything to do with sports, is it?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- No.- I think we'll go genetics.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Shall we go with that and hope? - Yeah.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29We don't know, but we're going to guess at genetics.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Genetics, understood. Shall we just check with the Eggheads?
0:26:33 > 0:26:34- Chess.- Chess.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37They were all world chess champions.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40If it's any consolation, you weren't anywhere near chess.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43We discounted sport.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45If someone has suddenly said chess,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I wondered if you might suddenly seize on it, but it didn't happen,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50so that's your first wrong answer
0:26:50 > 0:26:52in the final round so far
0:26:52 > 0:26:55and it gives the Eggheads the chance to take the contest.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Richard Stott, David Banks and Colin Myler
0:26:58 > 0:27:03have all been editors of which national daily tabloid newspaper?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Colin Myler rings a bell with me.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Was he the Daily Mirror?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Was it The Sun?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12No, it's just with Stott
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and Banks, I've not heard of Banks with The Sun.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Myler rings a vague bell for me.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22So I'm going to go with the Mirror, as it's called, or the Daily Mirror.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24My first thought was that, as well.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Yeah, the Mirror.- We're not 100% certain on this one.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30We think it might possibly be The Sun,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32but we're going to go for The Mirror.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37If you've got it right, the contest is over on Sudden Death.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39They were all editors...
0:27:40 > 0:27:43..of the Mirror, or Daily Mirror.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Absolutely amazing performance.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Plugging away right at the end, there.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Very, very impressive.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05One of the best teams we've ever had on this show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08I think that's right, one of the absolute best.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12You took them further, without winning, so I'm feeling for you, here, Remote Chancers.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15It was not a remote chance, it was a very good chance.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20So they're back with this winning streak, which is also very impressive.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22It does mean that you're not going home with the £16,000.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25We take that money and we roll it over to our next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Eggheads, congratulations,
0:28:26 > 0:28:30and we now wonder if anyone can actually beat them at all.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- I hope you enjoyed it, Challengers. - It was great.- You were brilliant.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40There'll be £17,000 to play for in our next game
