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 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against
0:00:27 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Here they are, The Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33There is no possibly about it.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Oh, well, if you say so.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- You are amazing. - You should get out more.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38When you're on form.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today are The Governors.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Now, this team all met through
0:00:43 > 0:00:46their involvement as governors at a school in Crewe.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Let's meet them.- Hello, I'm Peter.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50I'm a retired railway manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Ben and I am a lecturer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hello, I'm Dennis. I'm a retired postman.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, my name's Damien and I'm a deputy headteacher.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello, my name's Gordon. I'm a retired insurance officer.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- So, Peter and team, welcome. - Thank you.- Good to see you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And, of course, we've got a Crewe man over here, haven't we?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Indeed we have, yeah.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11It won't make you any less ferocious in the quizzing room,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- will it, Chris?- Oh, no.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14No quarter will be given.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I could be roused to opening one eye, so watch it.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18THEY LAUGH
0:01:18 > 0:01:23So, tell us about... first of all how you all know each other.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We're all current or recent governors of a very good primary school in Crewe.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29OK, and does the school have a quiz? Do you take part in that, or...?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31No, we don't quiz together at all,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35but Dennis organises music quizzes from time to time which are
0:01:35 > 0:01:37good quality and a very good social.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39OK. Well, good luck.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:41 > 0:01:43for our Challengers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45However, if they fail to defeat The Eggheads, as you know,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48So, Governors,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52The Eggheads were stopped a few days ago by one team rather dramatically.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56And they've just got back into gear. They won the last game.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58So, there's £2,000 to win today.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Would you like to try?- Oh, yes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Brilliant. The first head-to-head battle
0:02:03 > 0:02:06is on the subject of Arts & Books. So, who would like this?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Who's Arts & Books?- Shall I do that?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Gordon?- I'm up for that.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12OK, Gordon. Against which Egghead?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14They're all ready for you.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Let's get Chris out of the game immediately.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18THEY LAUGH
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Oh, well, that's one Crewe man to another, is it?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22We see how it is now.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25So, Gordon from The Governors versus Chris of Crewe
0:02:25 > 0:02:28from The Eggheads. And to ensure that there's no conferring,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34OK, so it's Crewe on Crewe here.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Arts & Books, Gordon, would you like to go first or second?
0:02:36 > 0:02:37First, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Here is your question.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47Which work by Leonardo da Vinci is also known as Il Cenacolo?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50C-E-N-A-C-O-L-O.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Last Supper.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Oh, straight there.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00You're sure about that?
0:03:00 > 0:03:01- That's my answer.- That's your...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03It's correct.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Oh, well done.- Chris, your question.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12"Big Ger" Cafferty is the chief adversary of which literary detective?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Well, Andy Dalziel is the partner of Pascoe,
0:03:19 > 0:03:20so I don't think it's him.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Inspector Lynley moves in
0:03:22 > 0:03:25sort of genteel, country house sort of circles.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30So, I don't think it's him. But John Rebus is an Edinburgh detective and
0:03:30 > 0:03:32the character you named sounds like an Edinburgh thug.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34So, I'll have to say John Rebus.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yeah, John Rebus it is.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38OK, back to you, Gordon.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42"For alarmingly large chunks of an average day, I am a moron,"
0:03:42 > 0:03:45is a quote from which Nick Hornby book?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53That sounds familiar from when I read Hi Fidelity.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57But, without confidence, I say Hi Fidelity.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Yeah, I know what you mean
0:03:58 > 0:04:01because they all have that same sort of narrator's voice.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02It's actually Fever Pitch.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Chris. The Beggar's Opera
0:04:06 > 0:04:08is thought to be the first dated work
0:04:08 > 0:04:11of which 18th century painter?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's got to be Hogarth. William Hogarth.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yeah. So, that and The Rake's Progress and all of that, isn't it?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Marriage A-la-Mode. - Yeah, Marriage A-la-Mode.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25So, you need to get this one, Gordon.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31When Will You Marry? which sold for almost 300 million in 2015
0:04:31 > 0:04:35is a painting by which artist?
0:04:35 > 0:04:36(Gauguin.)
0:04:40 > 0:04:42The answer is Paul Gauguin.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45OK. Again, straight there.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Paul Gauguin is correct. Well done.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51You've got two out of three. Let's see if Chris trips up here.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Here's your question.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58Chris, which author wrote the 1963 classic work of nonfiction,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01The Making of the English Working Class?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Not Christopher Hill, not EP Thompson.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12The social historian there is Eric Hobsbawm.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14So, that's my answer.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Do you know this one, Gordon?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17I think it's Hobsbawm.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18No, it's EP Thompson.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Oh.- I didn't have to know!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22No, you didn't have to know.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24THEY LAUGH
0:05:24 > 0:05:27After three questions each, it's level.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29We go to Sudden Death.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Gets a little bit harder, Gordon.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I don't give you different options. Here's your question.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36The World's Worst Children, featuring the characters
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Dribbling Drew and Blubbering Bertha,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43is a 2016 children's book by which author?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45What are the names of the horrible children again?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Dribbling Drew and Blubbering Bertha.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53I have no idea.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Dribbling Drew and Blubbering Bertha...
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I can only guess at Roald Dahl.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- Yeah, but the date was 2016, so he's long dead.- Yeah, OK.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09David Walliams is the answer.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12You have a chance to take the round, Chris, with this question.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16The Romford Pele is the autobiography
0:06:16 > 0:06:19of which former Arsenal footballer?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Oh, jings.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Charlie George.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29No, Ray Parlour.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Still in it here, Gordon.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Arts & Books. Your question.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Which American novelist, short story writer and socialist
0:06:37 > 0:06:43was born John Griffith Chaney in San Francisco in 1876?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Would you repeat the question, please?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Which American novelist, short story writer and socialist
0:06:49 > 0:06:54was born John Griffith Chaney in San Francisco in 1876?
0:06:54 > 0:06:571876...
0:06:57 > 0:07:01John Steinbeck comes to mind, but I don't say it with confidence.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Jack London.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Chris, your question for the round.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11Which pop artist's first use of the silkscreen print method
0:07:11 > 0:07:15was a series of dollar bills beginning in 1962.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, the silkscreen exponent was Andy Warhol.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Andy Warhol is quite right, you've won on Sudden Death.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Sorry, Gordon. You won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Please come back, rejoin your team-mates and we'll play on.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33OK, The Governors have lost a brain to the governor over here.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Chris Hughes, known as The Locomotive.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39The Eggheads there sitting pretty, all five of them.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40But it's early days, guys.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42So, you can come back now.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43And it's Science.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Who would like this? - I'll take it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48To you? That's Ben.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51OK, going to be Ben on Science against which Egghead, Ben?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Anyone but Chris.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Try Judith?- Judith.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Yeah, Judith has had a famous moment on Science.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Oh, yes. There's one I cling to.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02SHE LAUGHS
0:08:02 > 0:08:04She beat a rocket scientist once.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06THEY LAUGH
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It was on a question about wasps, so...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11She'll never get tired of telling that story.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Ben from The Governors versus our own Judith from The Eggheads.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20So, Ben, good luck on Science.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23And, Judith, you were saying you'd like a sort of an Eggheads' style
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- nickname. And we think you should be The Rocket.- Please, no.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Because of the rocket. It was not a question about wasps, it was a question about hedgerows that...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Oh, was it?- That caused the rocket scientist to lose to you on Science.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I know.- One of the great moments in the history of Eggheads.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42It just shows that there's so much luck in it all.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Oh, come on. Don't be modest.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46So, Ben, you're against The Rocket.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49I'll go first, please.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55OK, good luck to you, Ben. Here we go.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58What name is given to a planet outside our solar system
0:08:58 > 0:09:02that orbits a star other than the Sun?
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Ex means outside of, so I'd go for exoplanet.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Yes, well done, Ben. Good stuff.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Exoplanet is right.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Judith, approximately what percentage of the night
0:09:18 > 0:09:22is spent in REM sleep in an average adult?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Oh, that's interesting.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I would think probably either 25 or 50%.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I should think 50%.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- I don't know. 50%.- 50%.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- Yes.- In an average adult.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Yes.- Do you know this one, Ben?- I think it's less than that, actually.
0:09:45 > 0:09:4725, I'd go for.
0:09:47 > 0:09:4825. Yeah, you'd be right, actually.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Judith, it is less than you think.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Oh, really?- You're already ahead, Ben. Here's your second question.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56What is the term commonly used
0:09:56 > 0:09:59to describe a form of malicious software
0:09:59 > 0:10:04that locks a user's PC until a fee is paid?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Well, they're holding you to ransom, so that would be the obvious thing.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13But I don't know.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It depends who's named it. If it's the people who are doing it,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20they'd call it releaseware, because it's...
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I'd go for releaseware.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Let's just check with your team here. Is it releaseware, guys?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Well, that's what I'd go for. - I thought ransomware.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Same here, ransomware.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- No, it's ransomware, Ben. - Oh, I was right.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Here's your second question.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Judith, what is the symbol for
0:10:38 > 0:10:41the artificially created element technetium?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I think it might be... Oh, dear.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Tc.- Tc.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Well, here I have to go to Barry. He will know.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- I think it's Tn.- Tn? OK.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I thought that Tn was further back.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Barry, you know the periodic table back to front.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00How can you have slipped up on this?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Have I got it wrong?- You got it wrong and Judith is right.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Tc, Judith.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Oh, has Barry got it wrong?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Yes.- Oh! That's made my day.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- That's why we call you The Rocket. - I'm The Rocket!
0:11:10 > 0:11:12HE LAUGHS
0:11:12 > 0:11:14OK, Ben. Your third question.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18The cascabel is an alternative name for which creature
0:11:18 > 0:11:20found in South America?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Cascabel...- Cascabel.
0:11:26 > 0:11:33A casque is French for a helmet, a steel helmet.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I would guess armadillo.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37But that is a guess.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Rattlesnake is the answer.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Blimey.- So, Judith, you have a chance to take the round
0:11:42 > 0:11:44with this question.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47To which group of islands, Judith, is the rare,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50wild goose called the nene native?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It's just spelt N-E-N-E, but it is pronounced "neh-neh".
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I always associate geese with cold places,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05so I'm not sure that they would live in Hawaii.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08But on the other hand, nene sounds rather like a Hawaiian word.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I think I'm going to risk Hawaii.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Goodness me.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15SHE CHUCKLES
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Let's be really brave.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- You're really having a really edgy day to day.- Yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20- Hawaii's right.- Is it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Yes.- Because of the nene.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- It's the nene that's done it.- Yeah.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26The nenes have it. SHE CHUCKLES
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Sorry, Ben.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30You've been beaten on Science, but she's very good on Science.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32It's her new field, I think.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Well, it has been for a long time.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Come back to us. Rejoin your teams and we'll see what happens next.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43So, the goose we were talking about in Hawaii is called the nene
0:12:43 > 0:12:45because that's the sound it makes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Oh, I see.- It's one of those really simple things.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- That's its... What's called its soft call. Nene.- Nene!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Go on.- Nene!- Yes!
0:12:53 > 0:12:57That's it. That's the very call. If only there were bonus points!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The talents on this team!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Oh, dear. Anyway, the fun we have.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04But The Governors are right here and they're intending to win,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06are you not? So, don't let us put you off.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09The Governors have lost two brains, but they are not out of this at all.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Not by any manner of means.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12And the next subject for you is Music.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I think it's... Is it you, Dennis?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Here's your moment, Dennis. - Oh, it's Dennis!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19OK, is there any particular Egghead you'd like?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I know after Judith's goose call, you might want her,
0:13:22 > 0:13:23but she can't be chosen.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Have a go at Kevin.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Yeah?- Decapitation.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Yeah?- Yeah.- OK.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31As much as I don't want to do this, Kevin.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Right. I can see what you're doing.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Hurling yourself at the grandmaster, and that can work.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Dennis from The Governors versus Kevin from The Eggheads.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41The subject, Music.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Dennis has a collection of 2,000 LPs, I'm told.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Please go to the Question Room and let's see what you're made of.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Well, it's great to hear how fanatical you are about music, Dennis.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Did I say... Was it 2,000 CDs, is that right?
0:13:55 > 0:13:56No, LPs.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59LPs, right. And how many singles?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Over 10,000.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Lovely.- Wow! - The wife doesn't think so.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05THEY LAUGH
0:14:05 > 0:14:07You are also the former Mayor of Crewe.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Last year, yes.- So, you could, if The Eggheads win,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12you can have Chris removed from the city?
0:14:12 > 0:14:13THEY LAUGH
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I don't have to be mayor to do that. I know a few people.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18JEREMY LAUGHS
0:14:18 > 0:14:19All right. you're up against Kevin.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's a good thing to try and get Kevin out before the final.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24I'll go first, please.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31So, here is your first Music question.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34"When this old world starts getting me down
0:14:34 > 0:14:36"and people are just too much for me to face"
0:14:36 > 0:14:39are lyrics from which song by The Drifters?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I don't think it's Down Under and Out In The Country doesn't sound...
0:14:46 > 0:14:47I think it's Up On The Roof.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Yes, you're right.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Kevin, your first question.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Which synthpop group had a 1981 UK hit single
0:14:55 > 0:14:56with The Model?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I think it was...
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Just The Model?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- The Model.- Yeah.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I think this is Krautrock.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I think it was a double-A side with Computer Love.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's Kraftwerk.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Yeah, it is Kraftwerk.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Great band. And Krautrock? I don't know.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I wouldn't call them that, really.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- No, OK.- They're the defining electronic band of the age.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- Krautrock is more like Scorpions, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29OK. Dennis.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Slap and pop is the name for a method of playing which instrument?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I'm not sure about this.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I'd tend to go for piano.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I'm not 100% sure, but...
0:15:49 > 0:15:50OK. Piano.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I think your team-mates are troubled by that.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Go on, team.- We're veering towards bass guitar.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Yeah, I think it's that thing where...
0:15:57 > 0:15:59And I guess maybe Mark King of Level 42,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's that thing where he's
0:16:01 > 0:16:03banging it with his thumb almost and his little finger.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Bass, yeah.- Bass guitar.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Kevin. Mozart's Symphony number 31
0:16:08 > 0:16:12is better known by the name of which city?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I believe that's Paris.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Paris is the right answer.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Back to Dennis. You need to get this one right.
0:16:23 > 0:16:29What was the title of Fleetwood Mac's first UK top 40 single?
0:16:34 > 0:16:40This is a band I went to see in Woolwich in about 1968
0:16:40 > 0:16:43before Albatross came out. I don't think Black...
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I think it's Need Your Love So Bad.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49That's my answer, anyway.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- Lisa?- I'd have gone for Need Your Love So Bad
0:16:51 > 0:16:53because I think the other two would be when they were
0:16:53 > 0:16:55slightly better established. But difficult.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Yeah, that's a really tricky question.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59The actual answer is Black Magic Woman.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01So, no way back, Dennis.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04The music round didn't quite fall for you there. Kevin, in the final.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Come back to us, gentlemen. And we'll play another head-to-head.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13As it stands, The Governors have lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17And we have Politics for you
0:17:17 > 0:17:19as your last head-to-head before the final.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- So, who would like this? - I'll do that.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Peter? OK. Against which Egghead?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26You can either have Lisa or you can have Barry.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- One on the end.- I'll chance my arm against Barry.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Good stuff. So, Peter from The Governors who...
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I think you like your politics, don't you?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Only for the last 50 years, yeah.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37OK, versus Barry from The Eggheads.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions now.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46On Politics, Peter, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'll probably kick myself for this, but I'm going to go second.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54So, we start with you, Barry.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59What name is given to the method of uprating the basic state pension?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Ah, this was the famous triple lock of David Cameron.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11The pension had to be raised by the higher of various indices,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13of which there are three of them.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Triple lock is right.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Over to you, Peter. Good luck.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Which of these is another name for
0:18:20 > 0:18:23the Republican Party in the United States?
0:18:27 > 0:18:31I was a bit... I was thinking about elephants and donkeys for a moment,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34but I think it's the Grand Old Party.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Yeah, GOP is Grand Old Party.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39For some reason, I always thought it was God's Own Party.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42But I've been misled somewhere along the way.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Barry, your question.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47What name was often given to former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Ah, now I have heard this.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I just need a moment's thought.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57But for some reason, The Coroner is coming to mind,
0:18:57 > 0:18:58so I shall go for that.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01The Coroner is right.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I don't know where that came from, I really don't.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Your question, Peter.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Who became the MP for Tooting in 2005?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Without a doubt it was Sadiq Khan.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Sadiq Khan is correct.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Barry,
0:19:20 > 0:19:24The Lagting was the name of the upper house of the Parliament
0:19:24 > 0:19:25of which European country?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Could you spell that, please?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34The Lagting. L-A-G-T-I-N-G.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Well, I know the names of
0:19:36 > 0:19:39all the lower houses of those three countries.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Norway is the Stortinget.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Denmark is I think the Folketing.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I can't... Or that may be Finland. I'm getting confused now.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Lagting. It doesn't sound particularly Danish.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55All the Finnish words I've ever come across seem to have more syllables
0:19:55 > 0:19:57than are good for themselves.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So, on that very specious argument, I shall go for Norway.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Dave did say to me the other day
0:20:03 > 0:20:06his great tip is always choose Norway.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Oh, is this another Eggheads tip?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11No, this is one of Dave's ideas.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Norway's right.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13HE LAUGHS
0:20:13 > 0:20:14There we go!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Always go Norway.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Right. So, your third question,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21you've got to get this right now, Peter.
0:20:21 > 0:20:27To which UK Parliament post was David Natzler appointed in 2015?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I don't think it'll help, but could you spell his surname?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Yeah, N-A-T-Z-L-E-R.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43To which UK Parliament post was David Natzler appointed in 2015?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I think I might have heard of him if he was Black Rod.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Not at all clear on this, which is a shame.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Wish I'd gone first now.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I haven't got a coin handy to toss it,
0:20:56 > 0:21:00but I will say Clerk of the Commons.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Clerk of the Commons is right.- Oh!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Well done.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Not easy. Those administrative jobs,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10which of them are ceremonial and which of them are real?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12So you're level after three questions.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14We go to Sudden Death.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I don't give you different options.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Barry, Yevgeny Ivanov was a major figure
0:21:19 > 0:21:23in which British political scandal of the 1960s?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Yevgeny Ivanov?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Ah, name rings a bell.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31If it's of the '60s, it has to be the Profumo scandal.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Profumo is quite right.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- Well done. Presumably, he was the one who slept with Christine Keeler. - Christine Keeler.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Do you know, I actually met Mandy Rice-Davies once.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Really?- And of all the places to meet her,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I was in Israel in a Chinese restaurant
0:21:46 > 0:21:48and she owned it and was behind the bar.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49And I had a lovely chat with her.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52And she was the most delightful person.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Brilliant. I didn't know she was running a Chinese restaurant in Israel.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Strange.- That'll be a quiz question one day.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01OK. So, to stay in, Peter,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05the 1918 Representation of the People Act
0:22:05 > 0:22:10gave the vote to all males in the United Kingdom over what age?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I don't think it was 21.
0:22:14 > 0:22:20I've got a feeling that it was somewhere in the mid to late 20s.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26One of these moments when I wish I could have a walk around the block and a think.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31OK, I'll take a stab and see if my luck's still in and say 28.
0:22:31 > 0:22:3428. Do you know, Barry?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I think I would have gone for 30.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Oh, OK. You would have gone higher.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- The answer is 21.- Oh!
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Sorry, Peter. Knocked out by Barry on Sudden Death.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47So, if you come back to us, we'll play the final round.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54It is time for the final round, which as always is general knowledge.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:22:57 > 0:23:01to take part in this final round, so, Peter, Ben, Dennis and Gordon
0:23:01 > 0:23:04from The Governors, would you please leave the studio?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08OK, Damien. I know this wasn't quite the plan.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09No. But you can do it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- It's been done before, Eggs, hasn't it?- A few times.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14One person against five.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16You're playing to win The Governors £2,000.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Barry, Judith, Kevin, Chris, Lisa,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20you are playing for something that money can't buy.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Trying to somehow restore The Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29This time, the questions are all general knowledge.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31You are allowed to confer.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I'm sorry, that doesn't help you. So, Damien, the question is,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37can you with your one brain defeat these five?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I'll go... I'll go first.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Damien, good luck. Here's your first question.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Which of these is a nomadic people
0:23:49 > 0:23:53that inhabit areas in North and West Africa?
0:23:58 > 0:24:05The first answer... I'm torn between Sami and Tuareg.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Did you say North Africa?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- North and West Africa. - North and West Africa.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13OK. The first answer I thought of was Tuareg.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'm going to stick with Tuareg.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Tuareg is correct. Well done.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Not an easy first question.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22And Qashqai and Sami, whereabouts are they?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- The Sami are from Finland.- Finland.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28And the Qashqai are Central Asia.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31OK. Eggheads, Omni Consumer Products,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35or OCP, is a fictional corporation
0:24:35 > 0:24:37that features in which series of films?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I thought that was RoboCop.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Yeah, that was my immediate thought. - Can we just have that again, Jeremy?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Omni Consumer Products, or OCP,
0:24:49 > 0:24:54is a fictional corporation that features in which series of films?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58That's the only one that's got a major multinational company in it.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Well, yeah... Omni seems to ring a bell.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I'd have to do it by elimination as I don't remember it in Terminator
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- or Back To The Future. I don't think I've ever seen RoboCop.- No,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I have a mental image of the RoboCop throwing directors of a company
0:25:09 > 0:25:12through a plate glass window on the 60th floor or something.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Yep, it is... The evil villains in it are the corporate.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17So, I think, yeah...
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Yeah, I'm reasonably sure on that one.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Go for RoboCop then, yeah?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Yeah.- Everyone happy?- Yeah.- Cool.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25OK, we reckon that's RoboCop.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Well, OCP is an anagram of cop, so yes, you're right.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31RoboCop it is.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Oh, yeah.- I never picked that up!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35THEY LAUGH Sorry.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36I didn't mean to point that out.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38That would've got you there too quickly.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41OK, Damien, your question. What name is traditionally given
0:25:41 > 0:25:44to a rigged two-masted sailing vessel,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48the forward mast being taller than the after one?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Again, the first answer that pops out to me there would be...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03It would be a sloop. I'm going to go with sloop.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06OK, I'm looking at the faces behind you.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Team-mates not sure.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09They were doing a lot of hand signals there,
0:26:09 > 0:26:14just to try and describe the shape of the boat in their minds.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Ketch is the right answer.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Eggheads, to take the lead.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19"Can this cockpit
0:26:19 > 0:26:23"hold the vasty fields of France?"
0:26:23 > 0:26:25is a quote from which Shakespeare play?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32It's in the chorus in the beginning, isn't it?
0:26:32 > 0:26:33- Yeah.- Henry V.- The intro part.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- "This wooden O" and all that jazz. - Yeah.- Yes.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Memorably spoken by - I think it's Derek Jacobi in the film,
0:26:40 > 0:26:41it's Henry V.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Henry 5 is quite right.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Here's your third question. Get this right to stay in.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Damien, according to Roman writers,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54what was the first settlement to be destroyed by the Britons
0:26:54 > 0:26:57during Boudicca's revolt?
