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 > 0:00:15arguably 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 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads, and I just described you as formidable,
0:00:34 > 0:00:35what's it like to be formidable?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37It's excellent.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today are...
0:00:41 > 0:00:42..from Stoke-on-Trent.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46This team quiz together every Monday night at the Gresley Arms
0:00:46 > 0:00:49in Alsagers Bank, where team member Carl is the pub landlord.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Terry, I'm a retired teacher.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Carl, I'm a pub licensee.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello, I'm Chris, and I'm an estimating manager.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Ged, and I'm a semi-retired surveyor.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hi, I'm Phil, and I'm a data analyst.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Terry and team, welcome, hello. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12So, Terry, tell me about the pub, then, where you all quiz.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15It's called the Gresley Arms, Carl is the landlord there.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17We meet for the quiz on a Monday night,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19with members of various teams
0:01:19 > 0:01:21that we've got together for this occasion.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25And the name of your team, Downhill, is a reference to where the pub is?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28The pub is on top of a steep hill, yes.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31From there, pretty much everywhere is downhill.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34You climb up to the pub, and then you can just basically slide home,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- can you?- Pretty much, yes.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38OK! You quiz weekly?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Weekly, yes.- So, you're quite serious about it, are you?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46I wouldn't say serious, it's a fun evening as well.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I notice you also enjoy petanque.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Petanque, yes.- Petanque has come up in quizzes before,
0:01:51 > 0:01:52so just tell us what that is.
0:01:52 > 0:01:58It's the French version of bowls, played with small, steel spheres.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03The rules are pretty much the same as lawn or crown green bowls.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Very popular in France, not so popular here.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Is that the one where if you're losing,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09you can throw the bowls at your opponent?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12No. It tends to be frowned upon!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Good luck, Challengers. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for
0:02:15 > 0:02:18grabs. However, if the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Now, Downhill, we've seen some amazing performances
0:02:24 > 0:02:29from the Eggheads, which means that they have won the last 17 games.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Is that good or bad?!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35They are on good form, but there is a great jackpot of £18,000.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Would you like to try and win it? ALL:- Yes.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41OK, so the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45and you can choose between Beth, Chris, Pat, Barry and Lisa.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46I guess that's me.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- OK, Terry.- Yes, that's me.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Against which Egghead? - Start with the nearest, Beth.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You've chosen our scientist.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Terry from Downhill will play Beth from the Eggheads.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And you're a scientist too, right?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Ish, yes.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I'm a scientist-ish, as well!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Oh, right, two scientists-ish.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Please, both of you, to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12take your positions in our Question Room.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Let's remind ourselves, Terry, you taught physics and chemistry.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Yes, that's right.- For how long?
0:03:19 > 0:03:2028 years in total.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And, Beth, your science background, don't be modest.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I've got a bachelors degree in microbiology,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and a masters degree in applied biology.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29All right, good luck to you both. This is going to be good,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31two scientists on Science.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Terry, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34First, please.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Here we go. Which of these is a long-bodied, cat-like creature,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45found in Africa, Europe and Asia,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48whose musk is sometimes used in perfume?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57The okapi is a relative of the giraffe, I think.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59A tapir,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01if I'm not mistaken, is South American.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04That leaves a civet, which is a cat-like animal.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05So, civet.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Civet is right.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Here we are, Beth, your question.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Approximately where in the body, Beth,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15is the popliteal artery located?
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Popliteal.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I'm going to have to have the spelling of that, please, Jeremy.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25One word, P-O-P-L-I-T-E-A-L. Popliteal.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29"Pateal" makes me think "patella,"
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and that would be your knee.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34So, knee.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Knee is correct.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Well done, you got there.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Terry, the "singularity" is a term used to describe
0:04:42 > 0:04:46the theoretical centre of which cosmic phenomenon?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I believe that's a black hole, Jeremy.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Black hole is right, Terry.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Well done.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Beth, the orbicularis oculi is a muscle in the human body
0:05:05 > 0:05:07that performs what function?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Anything to do with ocular or ocularis must be to do with the eye,
0:05:16 > 0:05:17so closes the eyelid.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20It does indeed close the eyelid. Well done, Beth.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23So, level, and back to you, Terry, for your third question.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Scientist on scientist, in the Science round.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28It doesn't get any better.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Here it is.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Which symbol is conventionally used
0:05:31 > 0:05:34to refer to the atomic number of an element?
0:05:38 > 0:05:46This takes me back to the limited amount of chemistry that I took.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Logically, it should be A for atomic,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52and I think it's the atomic number you're asking for, yes?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Which symbol is conventionally used
0:05:54 > 0:05:57to refer to the atomic number of an element?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I think I'm going to have to stick with logic and go for A.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Let's check with Beth.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I'm not sure, I think it might be Z number.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- Eggheads?- Z.- Z it is.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Two out of three for you, Terry.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Leaves Beth with a way to the final round,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16this one question.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18To which continent is Apis dorsata,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22sometimes known as the giant honey bee, native?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28There's lots of...
0:06:28 > 0:06:32often news reports about giant hornets and stuff coming from Asia,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36so I'm wondering whether that's where this one comes from as well.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So, I'm going to go with that again,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Asia.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I know that you feel that the hex is on when Asia is there,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46whether you choose it or not.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48You've got it right, Beth.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50We're turning the corner here.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Asia's right. So, you're in the final round.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Sorry, Terry, knocked out on the atomic numbers.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01so it's Beth in the final, and Terry knocked out.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04But come back to us, Terry, you can still organise the strategy.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08A little moment for us on this side,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10you have now won a round on every subject.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12THEY CHEER
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- That's the official... You've arrived.- Yeah!
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Now, Downhill, it started awkwardly, because you've lost a brain.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21But there's plenty of time,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23the Eggheads are all still sitting there,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25all five of them, and they're on this run of victories,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27which you have to stop this afternoon.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29The next subject for you is Film & TV.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31So, who wants this?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- It's got to be Chris.- Chris.- Yeah.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36OK, it's going to be Chris, our estimating manager.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Who would you like to estimate?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I think Chris.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42OK, the great Chris Hughes.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47So, Chris from Downhill versus the other Chris, who's going uphill,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- I think.- Yeah.- To ensure there's no conferring with the two Chrises,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52please now go to our Question Room.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55All right, so you're going up against Chris,
0:07:55 > 0:07:56known as The Locomotive.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59And, Challenger Chris, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:59 > 0:08:00I'll go second.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07And here is your first Film & TV question, Chris Hughes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Who provides the voice for the tree-like creature Groot
0:08:10 > 0:08:14in the 2014 film Guardians Of The Galaxy?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Oh, good grief.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22I don't think it'd be Steven Seagal,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24and I don't think it'd be Vin Diesel.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29It's the sort of thing Hugh Jackman might do, so I'll say Hugh Jackman.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30OK, Beth looks concerned, Beth?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I am Groot.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Vin Diesel.- Vin Diesel.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36OK.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Chris, Challenger.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Which character in Dad's Army is constantly referred to
0:08:41 > 0:08:43by Private Pike as "Uncle Arthur"?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Uncle Arthur, that would be...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Wouldn't be Captain Mainwaring.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I think it's Sergeant Wilson.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57It is indeed Sergeant Wilson.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Over to you, Chris Hughes.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04What is the weapon of choice of the character Katniss Everdeen
0:09:04 > 0:09:07in The Hunger Games series of films?
0:09:12 > 0:09:15She's the main heroine, it's a bow and arrow.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Who plays her, do you know? - Jennifer Lawrence?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Yeah. Bow and arrow is the right answer.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23OK, back to our Challenger. Keep focus here.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Who played the role of William Shakespeare
0:09:26 > 0:09:28in the TV comedy series Upstart Crow?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36That's not a TV show I've heard of.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I don't think it would be something Alan Davies would do.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I can't really see that.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I think it would have to be a guess,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50and I think I would guess with David Mitchell.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52David Mitchell is the answer!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57OK, hey, this is good, Challenger!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00You've got two, Chris Hughes has got one.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02You've got to get this right now.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Who directed the 2015 TV series Wolf Hall?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Well, the one there who does the most television work
0:10:16 > 0:10:17is Stephen Poliakoff.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Eggheads?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Peter Kosminsky.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Peter Kosminsky is the correct answer,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24so well done to our Challenger, you've won through,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28you're in the final round, Chris. Nicely done. Sorry, Mr Hughes!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31The Locomotive is steaming off into the distance, I'm afraid,
0:10:31 > 0:10:32from the Eggheads' point of view.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34So, that's good news for our Challengers.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Please rejoin your teams, we'll play Round Three.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40So, Downhill lost a brain in the first round,
0:10:40 > 0:10:44but the Eggheads have lost one now as well, so they're going downhill.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Let's play Food & Drink.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Who would like this?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Terry, who's it going to be?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I think that's Carl.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Carl, our pub licensee.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54He's the chef and the pub licensee.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Oh, you're the chef as well, are you?- Thanks for that!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59THEY LAUGH
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Right, against which Egghead?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03You can have anyone but Chris or Beth.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04We'll go with Barry, shall we?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Carl from Downhill to play Barry from the Eggheads.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Is this the moment it turns the Challengers' way?
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Food & Drink the subject, and the Question Room the place.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Food & Drink. Carl, would you like to go first or second?
0:11:17 > 0:11:18I'll go second, please.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24So, maybe second is working for our Challengers.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Barry, your question.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Which of these is a dish consisting of pickled herring fillets,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33wrapped around a savoury filling?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Well, I eat a lot of these at home, and it's rollmops.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Rollmops is right. I love them myself as well.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46We've got the same taste in food.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49OK, over to you, Carl.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Which of these is a term used
0:11:50 > 0:11:53to mean an individual table setting in a restaurant?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I think that's got to be cover.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01That's the correct answer.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05All right, Barry, which of these is a variety of olive,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08grown in the Peloponnese in Greece?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Fortunately, I've been to Greece twice this year,
0:12:15 > 0:12:16and I've eaten an awful lot of olives,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19and my favourite olive is a Kalamata.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Kalamata is the right answer.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26OK, Carl, your question to catch up here.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Pisco is a type of brandy,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32originally produced on which continent?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Spelt P-I-S-C-O, Carl.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Um...
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I'll go for South America, please.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46South America is quite right.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48You're playing really well, Challengers.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I've actually been to a pisco distillery in Peru!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55You've been to every answer, Barry, it's amazing!
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Not quite!- Here is your question, third question.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02What is the literal translation of "kopytka",
0:13:02 > 0:13:05the name for a type of Polish dumpling?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- A dumpling?- Dumpling.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Ah, a dumpling, you could conceive of a dumpling having horns.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18But I can see more likely that
0:13:18 > 0:13:21a dumpling would have a little tail on it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I'll go for little tails.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Barry, you've got it wrong, it's little hooves!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Oh, I would never have gone for that, ever!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Little hooves is the right answer.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34So, Carl, this is your chance now to book your place in the final round.
0:13:34 > 0:13:41In which Italian region is the wine grape called Primitivo grown?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Get this right, you're in the final.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49No pressure, then!
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I'll go down the middle, Veneto, please.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58No, Primitivo is grown in Puglia.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So, you're wrong, and so it's level after three questions,
0:14:01 > 0:14:05and we go to Sudden Death. Barry, you know this, it gets a bit harder,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I don't give you different options.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08- Are you ready?- Yes, indeed.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Which shape is the pasta known as farfalle?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I think farfalle is butterfly-shaped.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Butterfly is correct, Barry.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I could have accepted bowties or bows as well.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22You would have known that, Carl?
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Yes, I know that one.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26OK, you need this to stay in.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28The reggae musician Levi Roots,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31best known for launching a range of Caribbean-flavoured sauces,
0:14:31 > 0:14:38became nationally famous after his appearance on which TV show in 2007?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41That was Dragons' Den, I think.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Dragons' Den is the right answer.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Sudden Death. Over to you, Barry.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50The hangover cure that basically consists of an unbeaten raw egg yolk
0:14:50 > 0:14:55in Worcestershire sauce is known as a prairie what?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01I've known for years but this is called but I have no idea why it is
0:15:01 > 0:15:05called that. But it is known as a prairie oyster.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It is, oyster is right. Anyone tell us?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I presume it looks like an oyster pearl or something, doesn't it?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I assume so, but I can't imagine anything more disgusting.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It can't work. It surely can't work, can it?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Prairie oyster is right though, Barry, well done.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21So he's taken the lead in Sudden Death,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23that means you've got to get this right, Carl.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29Which television wine expert began his career as an actor and singer
0:15:29 > 0:15:30appearing in the West End
0:15:30 > 0:15:34in productions of Evita and Sweeney Todd?
0:15:34 > 0:15:35This is one that I don't know.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40The only wine expert that comes to mind is Ollie Smith.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42But I think that's right, at all.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Team-mates, do you know?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Oz Clarke.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Oz Clarke is the answer.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Sorry, Carl. Barry's taken it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Well played, Barry, tough old round there.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Indeed, yes.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54So our Challenger is gone.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Beaten on Food & Drink by our Egghead.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57If you come back to us, both of you,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00we will play one more round before the all-important final.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04OK, Downhill have now lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06the Eggheads have just lost the one.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09We play another round and it's Politics.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Who would like this, Terry? - Go on, then, Woody.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I'll go, then.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15OK, Phil, choose an Egghead.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17We've only got two left, Pat and Lisa.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I'll take Lisa, please.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Very good. Lisa on Politics.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23And Phil on Politics.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Please go to the Question Room now.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29And, Phil. How do you feel about this round?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Unfortunately, I think it's one of those moments that nobody wants to
0:16:32 > 0:16:35take on and I think I've drawn this short straw for it.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Listen, all the best, Phil.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Good luck and would like to go first or second against our Lisa?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I'll go first, please.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Here we go. What is the process of
0:16:48 > 0:16:52putting forward a question or motion in parliament officially called?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Chairing, tabling or flooring?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Right, it's not chairing.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I don't think it's flooring, but I've heard of tabling a motion,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04so I'll say tabling.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Yes, that's right. Motions are tabled.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Tabling is right.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Lisa, who stood down as the MP for Richmond Park in 2016
0:17:12 > 0:17:16over the decision to build a third runway at Heathrow?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21That was Zac Goldsmith.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It was indeed Zac Goldsmith.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Back to you, Phil.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30What term is often used to describe a break during the
0:17:30 > 0:17:33parliamentary year for either of the houses?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well, it's definitely not a retreat.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41It's certainly not a respite.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It's a recess.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44It is a recess, well done.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47This is going well.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Lisa, which Labour politician
0:17:49 > 0:17:52was nicknamed Brains by Alistair Campbell?
0:17:52 > 0:17:58Supposedly after the character in the TV series Thunderbirds.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Is it a resemblance thing or is that
0:18:03 > 0:18:06just because they irritated him or...? I don't know.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I don't think it's Gordon Brown, anyway.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh, bother.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14David Miliband.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It is David Miliband, well done.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18So here we are, 2-2, Phil.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Done well so far,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22often the third question is crucial, so get this right
0:18:22 > 0:18:24and you'll put a bit of pressure on our Egghead.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30The Halloween Massacre was the term used to describe the reorganisation
0:18:30 > 0:18:32of which US President's cabinet?
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Right.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I don't think it's Richard Nixon.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Doesn't ring a bell with Jimmy Carter.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52I'm not sure on this but I'll go with Gerald Ford.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53- Lisa, do you know?- Not a clue.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55No, it's really hard one.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Gerald Ford is the right answer, actually,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58you've done really well there.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Three out of three. OK, Lisa,
0:19:01 > 0:19:05which constituency did Labour MP George Howarth defend
0:19:05 > 0:19:08in the 2015 General Election?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15There must be a reason I should know this.
0:19:15 > 0:19:22I wonder if it is because the others belong to more senior politicians.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I have an idea.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Knowsley belongs to somebody...
0:19:35 > 0:19:37..a little bit more high profile.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44No, I think I'm going to have to hold my hands up on this one.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45I'll try Bootle.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48No, it's not.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49It is Knowsley, actually.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51You've been knocked out.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Well done, Phil, not even your subject.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55That's a good performance by you.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57So you've levelled it up
0:19:57 > 0:20:00and you've taken on an Egghead and emerged triumphant.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05If you both come back to us, we will play the final round for £18,000.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07This is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08It's time for the final round.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12But I'm afraid those of you lost your head-to-heads
0:20:12 > 0:20:14won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17So it's Terry and Carl from Downhill,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19and Lisa and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22would you now please leave the studio.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Chris, Ged and Phil, you are playing to win Downhill £18,000.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Barry, Pat and Beth,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31you are playing that the something that money can't buy,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33which is the Eggheads' reputation,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35and to keep this amazing roll going.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42You are allowed to confirm.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43So, Downhill, the question is,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46can your three brains defeat these three?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Simple as that. You've knocked the others out.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49They don't matter any more.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Can I just ask you whether you'd like to go first or second?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59OK, Ged and team, good luck.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02"Boom boom" is the catchphrase
0:21:02 > 0:21:05of which long-running TV puppet character?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Basil Brush, isn't it?- Yep.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14We're pretty sure that's Basil Brush.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Basil Brush is right.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Boom boom!
0:21:17 > 0:21:20OK, Eggs.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24In the UK, which patron saint's feast day
0:21:24 > 0:21:27is celebrated on April the 23rd?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- St George.- George, isn't it?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36We think that's St George.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It is St George's Day.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43St George is the answer.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Challengers, in 1973,
0:21:45 > 0:21:51See My Baby Jive became the first UK number one single for which group?
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- INDISTINCT CHAT - Roy Wood.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00We think that's Wizzard.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Good, old-fashioned pop song.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Yes, still played today on Radio 2.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Wizzard is the answer.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12OK, I wonder if you're going to come unstuck in a second, Eggheads.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Let's see, here's your question. Second question.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17£18,000, the jackpot.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Jesse Lingard made his senior debut for England in which sport
0:22:22 > 0:22:24in October 2016?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29He plays for Manchester United, doesn't he?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- He's football. - He's a forward, isn't he?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- I'll go with what you guys think. - Manchester United footballer.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36He doesn't strike me for rugby and cricket.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37- No.- OK.- Yeah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39We think that's football.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Football is correct.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Well done.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46OK, 2-2, and your third question.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50What is the British Army's equivalent of the Royal Navy's rank
0:22:50 > 0:22:51of Rear Admiral?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00The Rear Admiral is a command of the fleet, isn't he?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02The naval fleet.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- I'm sure.- Mm.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- It's not going to be General, isn't? - I don't think so.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Or is General more senior than Lieutenant or Major General?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Does Lieutenant mean under?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I think General's the more senior of those three, isn't it?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Major General's in between, isn't it?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22That's the middle rank of those three.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Yeah, I'd expect it to be...- So...
0:23:26 > 0:23:29So we're thinking of going for that for Rear Admiral?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Yeah.- It seems logical, doesn't it?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Yeah.- Yeah.- Major General? - Seems logical.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Yeah.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40We're not sure, Jeremy, but we think we've got a certain logic about it,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42we going for Major General.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Major General.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Eggheads, do you know?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46That's correct.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49It goes Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, Admiral.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51And then Major General, Lieutenant General,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53General are the corresponding ranks.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56You got to it, well done. It doesn't matter how, you're right.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Major General it is.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Here we go. Your third question.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Eggheads, in 2016,
0:24:05 > 0:24:12whom did the Oxford University press credit with being the co-writer
0:24:12 > 0:24:14of three Shakespeare plays?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I'm pretty certain I've read this and I'm pretty certain it's
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Christopher Marlowe.- I'm sure it was Christopher Marlowe.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- Yeah.- OK?- Yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28We think that's Christopher Marlowe.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30You do seem pretty certain, do you think they're right?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Yes.- It's one of those things when they just, they know it,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35they just go to it. Christopher Marlowe is right.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38They've won 17 games on the trot, are you going to stop them?
0:24:38 > 0:24:39We go to Sudden Death.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternative options.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Good luck, gentlemen.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Amarillo Slim Preston, Doyle Brunson and Stu Ungar
0:24:49 > 0:24:56have all claimed the title of world champion at which card game?
0:24:56 > 0:25:00It doesn't sound...bridge.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It's not posh enough.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Someone with a name like Amarillo has to be poker.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08They had the World Series, didn't they, of the Texas Hold'em?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It's got to...
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Poker?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16We're going with poker, Jeremy.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Yeah, I could have accepted Texas Hold'em but poker is right.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Absolutely. Well done.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22OK, over to you, Eggheads.
0:25:22 > 0:25:30The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company is an American restaurant chain launched
0:25:30 > 0:25:34after the success of which 1994 film?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Forrest Gump, isn't it? - Yeah, Forrest Gump.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- That was the name he... - Happy with that.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- ..he sailed with... - Gary Sinise was the...
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Was his captain. But Bubba was the chap
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Forrest met in Vietnam.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49We think that's Forrest Gump.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Forrest Gump is correct.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Sudden Death. No-one's made a mistake so far.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Final round. 3-3. Couldn't be closer.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Over to you, Challengers.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00In the USA,
0:26:00 > 0:26:05the day in November when women can propose marriage to men
0:26:05 > 0:26:09is named after which character from a cartoon?
0:26:09 > 0:26:14American cartoons, it's perhaps going to be one name, isn't it?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16One syllable.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Which cartoon character proposed to someone?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Wilma out of the Flintstones?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Did she propose? She's a female cartoon character.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Olive Oyl?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Olive Oyl Day.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35I wouldn't say it's Olive Oyl.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Betty Boop?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Cinderella Day?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47It's not going to be a Mickey Mouse Day or Donald Duck Day
0:26:47 > 0:26:48or anything like that.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51It'll be a female character, I'd imagine.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52- Minnie Mouse?- Minnie Mouse.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Could be.- It's as good as anything we've come up with, isn't it?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04With very little confidence, we're going for Minnie Mouse Day.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Minnie Mouse Day is your answer.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Let's check with the Eggheads, do you know this?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10We think it's Sadie Hawkins.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Sadie Hawkins Day is the answer.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Taken from the Little Edna cartoon strip in the 1930s
0:27:16 > 0:27:18and typically observed, apparently,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21the first Saturday after November 9th.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Sadie Hawkins Day.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27OK, Eggheads, so you would have got that but that wasn't your question.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28This is your question.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31And if you get this right, the contest is over.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Bandar Seri Begawan is the capital of which country?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Brunei, isn't it?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- Brunei?- Definitely Brunei.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42OK. That's in South East Asia?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- INDISTINCT CHATTER - Are you sure?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Yes, it's Brunei.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50We just need to give the name of the country.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51We think that's Brunei.
