0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are at the Eggheads!
0:00:31 > 0:00:34- And here you are. How are you feeling? Eager?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Full of beans. - Full of beans, says Dave.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:39 > 0:00:41are the Cranium Crushers from Glasgow.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Team captain Razvan has called upon the help of colleagues
0:00:44 > 0:00:49and lifelong friends to form a crack quiz quintet.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Let's meet them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I am Razvan and I'm a chief financial officer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57How I'm Boyd, I'm a self-employed management consultant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Hi, I am Irfan, operations coordinator for Glasgow Museums.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Jang, I'm a software engineer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I am Ross, and I'm an admin assistant.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So, Razvan and team, great to have you. Welcome.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14The phrase Cranium Crushers, well, I think have worried them already.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Beth's looking particularly worried there.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Where's it come from?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Well, it originated from my colleague, Ross,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25who was inspired by Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel Comics.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And from there, the team name was born, Cranium Crushers.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Ross, is there a cranium crusher in the Marvel Comics?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34There isn't, no, the inspiration kind of came from when Stan Lee
0:01:34 > 0:01:38does his characters, the first initial of their fore name,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and the first initial of their surname were always the same.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So I took it from there, and cranium obviously is your brain,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46so we are going to beat some Eggheads today.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Brilliant.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Good luck, team.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, Cranium Crushers, formalities out the way,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03I can tell you the Eggheads have won the last 23 games.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04They're on a storming run.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07That's why they look a little bit cocksure today.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10It means there's £24,000 to win.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Would you like to try?- Definitely.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15OK. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18So, Cranium Crushers, would you like Judith, Kevin,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Beth, Dave or Lisa?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- I think Boyd was...- Do you want to go for it?- Yeah, I'll go for it.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I know nothing about geography.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26We'll nominate Boyd.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Boyd will do it.- OK, Boyd?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Yeah.- Against which Egghead? Any one of the five there.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I would like to take on Dave, please.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Boyd from the Cranium Crushers is taking on Dave from the Eggheads,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41and just to ensure there's no conferring, gentlemen, please go to our Question Room now.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44So, Boyd, are you quite well travelled?
0:02:44 > 0:02:50That's true. Yes, I worked overseas, in America, France, Germany, Italy,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Moldova, Russia.- All right, we'll see if Moldova comes up.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54It's Geography, Boyd,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57and you can choose whether you go first or second against Dave.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58I'll go first.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Here we go. Which is the world's second smallest continent?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11The odds are 1-3.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'll go with Europe.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Europe, it is.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19That would have been painful if you'd gone wrong on the first one.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22OK, Dave, over to you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Which of these South African cities is the most southerly?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I don't really know.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35But I would have thought, dealing with the Cape,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38but I haven't really studied there, I was thinking of Port Elizabeth.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'm going to go Cape Town anyway.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Cape Town's right. Well done.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Back to you, Boyd.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47The National beauty spot called Devil's Dyke is
0:03:47 > 0:03:49accessible by which National Trail?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Can you give me the question again, please?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59The national beauty spot called Devil's Dyke is accessible
0:03:59 > 0:04:01by which National Trail?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'm looking for something dangerous, maybe.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I've been to the Cotswolds.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I'm going to go with Ridgeway.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Dave, do you know this one?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I would have gone South Downs Way.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Yeah, it's South Downs Way.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17OK, Dave can take the lead.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Aylesbury is the county town of which historic English county?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Is not Essex, it's not Lancashire, it's Buckinghamshire.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Aylesbury duck, I suppose is what it's most famous for.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31But, yeah, Buckinghamshire.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Buckinghamshire's quite right.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35So he's in the lead.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Boyd, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42The Los Roques archipelago in the Caribbean
0:04:42 > 0:04:46is a dependency of which country?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I'm going to go with Colombia.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59It's actually Venezuela.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Venezuela's the answer there. Sorry, Boyd. No way back in this round.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Well done to tremendous knowledge Dave who'll be in the final round.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Boyd, you've been knocked out.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10But it's early days. Please return to us and we will play on.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18OK, as it stands, the Cranium Crushers have not crushed the first brain they had in their hands.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Are we a bit too graphic there?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22That's a bit Game of Thrones, I think.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You've got five craniums still.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Or is it crania, Eggheads?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It's becoming more and more acceptable to say...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I mean, strictly speaking it should be A,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34but it's becoming more and more acceptable to use the other alternative
0:05:34 > 0:05:35and has been for some time.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37So I think probably either is OK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40If you get them down to one cranium at the end,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42then there won't be a problem with any of this plural business.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So good luck. Knock 'em out, guys.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46You've lost a brain.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50We play on. The next subject for you is Film & TV.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So which of you would like this?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I think I'll take that category.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00OK, team captain Razvan against any Egghead except Dave.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Any Egghead except Dave.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I will try Judith.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Judith.- Why aren't you doing Sport?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Here we are, we've never seen this before.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Judith upset not to be playing Sport. We've never seen that.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Razvan from the Cranium Crushers is playing Judith from the Eggheads.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Not on Sport, but on Film and TV.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Please go to the Question Room.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22All right, Film and TV is the subject.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Judith, your favourite film of all time?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I think it's the Deer Hunter.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27That was Michael Cimino, wasn't it?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- The director?- Yes, Michael Cimino.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Razvan, what about you?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34I have to say, my favourite film of all time has to be The Dark Knight.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39I thought Christopher Nolan's portrayal of the Batman character
0:06:39 > 0:06:41was just a phenomenal experience.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44I feel awful now, I don't think I've seen it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45I need to watch that film.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49You've shown me up there. Razvan, do you want to go first or second against Judith?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Here we go with your first question.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58What was the name of John Thaw's character in the 1970s
0:06:58 > 0:07:00TV drama The Sweeney?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Right, definitely can't be Jack Sparrow.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Very popular television series back in the day.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Is it Jack Regan?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15It is Jack Regan. Well done.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Judith, your question.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19And not Sport.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Westley and Buttercup are characters in which 1987
0:07:24 > 0:07:26fantasy adventure film?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Westley and Buttercup? They sound like cows.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36To me. Buttercups always are cows.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I don't know. I haven't seen any of those.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Er, The Neverending Story.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48The Neverending Story? This was a 1987 fantasy adventure film.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- It is The Princess Bride.- Oh, right.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Lisa's enjoying this. Help us out.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Was there a cow visible?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58In total fairness to Judith, there are some cows at the beginning
0:07:58 > 0:08:02because the initial scenes are set on a farm.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04So there are a few. But Buttercup is not a cow,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06it was one of Robin Wright's earliest screen roles.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10OK, Buttercup is The Princess Bride of the title, and human, Judith,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- just in case..- And human. - ..any confusion.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16But Lisa says a cow drifts into shot at the start of the film.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Perhaps that's Westley.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19You're on the right...
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Westley is her love interest.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24They are shot in close-up against a background of cow.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Westley is not a cow!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Sorry, Razvan, we're all now a year older.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Here's your second question.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It seems like quite a long time ago that I last spoke to you.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Which of the following is the title of a 2016 sci-fi film
0:08:39 > 0:08:42that topped the UK box office?
0:08:46 > 0:08:51I reckon, from my movie-going experience and the movies
0:08:51 > 0:08:52that I tend to love and watch,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55although I didn't see this one, I did read the reviews
0:08:55 > 0:08:58and I think, given it's sci-fi,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01that the movie was called Arrival.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Razvan, that's right. Arrival it is.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Well done. So he has two now, Judith, and you have yet to score.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11You need to get this one right to stay in.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Who plays the human lead role in the 2016 film
0:09:15 > 0:09:19A Street Cat Named Bob?
0:09:24 > 0:09:29I've sort of seen stories in the paper about it but the actor...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I'm going to go Ben Barnes.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And it's Luke Treadaway.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37It is Luke Treadaway, Judith.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Sorry, no points for you, but well done to you, Razvan.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41You're in the final round.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43The captain survives.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45The Eggheads have lost a cranium.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Please return to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52It's level now. The Cranium Crushers have lost a brain from the final
0:09:52 > 0:09:55round, the Eggheads have also lost a brain. They've lost Judith.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58And the next subject for you is Science, gentlemen.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Who would like science, of the three remaining?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03My thoughts go to Jang.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- For the science.- What do you think?- How are you feeling?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08OK, I'll go for it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12OK, our software engineer taking on which Egghead?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15We've got Lisa, Beth and Kevin left.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Jeremy, could I take on Lisa, please?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I'm sensing some really deliberate decision-making here.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I can see you're very purposeful.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26It's Jang from the Cranium Crushers taking on Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28It wasn't a science degree, was it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31No. All of my science degrees are below zero.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38You're a software engineer, Jang.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- That's right.- And I guess it's very hard to keep up with what
0:10:40 > 0:10:43software is doing, even week by week.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Yeah, it is always changing, it's evolving.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Keeping abreast of it is quite a challenge.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52But at the same time you're learning new things all the time.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Brilliant. Science, Jang. Would you like to go first, or second?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57I would like to go first, Jeremy.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03You sounded very serious about that.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Good luck. See if your team can take the advantage here.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Which is the only planet in our solar system to be named
0:11:09 > 0:11:11after a Roman goddess?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Yeah, they all sound...
0:11:17 > 0:11:20They all sound very goddessy.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Venus, Jupiter...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26My answer is Neptune.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Neptune. Let's see if your team-mates know.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Is he right?- Venus.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34You think Venus. Venus is the right answer, Jang. I'm sorry. OK.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Your question.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Lisa, which large shark is named after its habit
0:11:39 > 0:11:42of swimming or floating near
0:11:42 > 0:11:43the surface of the sea?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Of course, in common parlance a lolling shark is
0:11:50 > 0:11:52one that just sits there and goes...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54All the time. It's a basking shark, Jeremy.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Basking shark is the right answer. Well done. Not lolling.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00The sharks never lol.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03OK, Jang. Get on the scoreboard now.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Which word is now commonly used to describe a lecture
0:12:07 > 0:12:10presented over the internet?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I've actually experienced this, actually.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21So my answer to this is Webinar.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Webinar's right. You've experienced it in the sense that you've been on
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- the receiving end of one? - That's correct, yeah.- Yeah? Webinar.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30OK, level, one point each.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Lisa with the advantage.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Your question, in astronomy, what term, Lisa,
0:12:35 > 0:12:40the opposite to the zenith, refers to the point on the celestial sphere
0:12:40 > 0:12:42directly below an observer?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Just thinking about them in terms of pairs of words,
0:12:49 > 0:12:53I would've thought that was the nadir.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Nadir it is. And it's used to say he was at the nadir of his fortunes.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I think zenith and nadir
0:13:00 > 0:13:03are used more generally now for apex and bottom.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06So it's just a standard word pairing, really.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08OK, she's ahead.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Jang, let's hope this is not your nadir now.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13You've got to get this one right or I'm afraid we say goodbye.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Which of these types of plant found growing in the UK
0:13:16 > 0:13:19is also known as shaggy moss?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'm going to take a pop at this,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29so I'll say Electrified Cat's Tail Moss.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Almost the craziest name.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Now, Judith loves her crazy plant names, don't you?
0:13:34 > 0:13:35So I'm going to ask you.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I think I'd go for Witch's Whiskers.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Would you? Judith thinks it's Witch's Whiskers.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42But you've got it right, Jang.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Well done. It is Electrifying Cat's Tail Moss.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48OK, Lisa to take the round.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Here's your question. Which British scientist is the co-author of the
0:13:52 > 0:13:542010 book The Grand Design?
0:13:58 > 0:14:04Now, the Grand Design sort of seems a bit universe-y to me.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Which would incline me to move away from Dawkins.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm trying to think whether I've ever heard of Stephen Hawking or
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Richard Dawkins co-authoring a book.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17And I don't think I have.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Doesn't mean they haven't, obviously.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23But on that basis I will try Brian Cox.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Let's see. Beth, do you know this?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I was going for, actually, Stephen Hawking.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28But I could be completely wrong.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Stephen Hawking is the right answer. - There we go.- Stephen Hawking.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33So you've both got two out of three.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34The score's level.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Jang, we go to Sudden Death.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Well done for taking her this far.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40It gets a bit harder, I don't give you choices.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- OK.- By what alternative name is the Andean bear commonly known
0:14:45 > 0:14:48due to the light fur around its eyes?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I will go for a silverback bear.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's the spectacled bear.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Lisa, for the round on Sudden Death.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00What is the nickname of the plaster of Paris dinosaur skeleton
0:15:00 > 0:15:04which the Natural History Museum announced in 2016
0:15:04 > 0:15:06would be going on a UK-wide tour?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Named by schoolchildren, I think.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I think he's called Dippy.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14The answer I was looking for is Dippy.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And well done, Lisa. You've gone through to the final round.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Sorry, Jang. Knocked out.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22So your team now may be struggling a bit but still with a round to go
0:15:22 > 0:15:24before the final. Please come back to us and we will play
0:15:24 > 0:15:26that last round.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31As it stands the Cranium Crushers have lost two brains
0:15:31 > 0:15:33from the final round. The Eggheads have just lost the one so far.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Good moment now, Challengers, to level it up going into the final.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And the last subject round is History.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Who would like this?
0:15:41 > 0:15:42You've got to go for it.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Irfan or Ross? - I'll go for it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Irfan.- OK. Against which Egghead, Irfan?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- I'll go with Beth. - Irfan from the Cranium Crushers
0:15:51 > 0:15:54versus Beth from the Eggheads.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56For the last time, please go to our Question Room.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59So it's History, Irfan.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Would you like to go first, or second?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08OK, good luck against Beth. And here we go.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13The surrender of Robert E Lee in 1865 effectively brought
0:16:13 > 0:16:15which conflict to an end?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24It's definitely not the Boer War, that was in 1905.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28It's not the Franco-Prussian...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I would say it's the American Civil War, Jeremy.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Irfan, you're right. American Civil War is correct.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Well done.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Beth, your question.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Which of the following was a Germanic tribe
0:16:38 > 0:16:41who eventually settled in Italy in the 6th century AD?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Oh, well, the Celts were
0:16:48 > 0:16:53in Scotland, the Angles came over from the low countries.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56But the Lombards would, I assume,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00found Lombardy in Italy, so Lombards.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Lombards is right, Beth.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well done. Irfan, here is your question.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07What was the codename for the German invasion of Russia
0:17:07 > 0:17:09during World War II?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It wasn't Genghis. I'll go for Barbarossa.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Barbarossa is correct.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22You're playing well.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Beth.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29How old was Charles II when he was restored to the throne in 1660?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Charles II, Beth. Was he...?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I'm not like my colleagues on the bench there
0:17:37 > 0:17:40who could quickly rattle off a date.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42But I don't think he was as young as 20.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Let's go with 30.
0:17:44 > 0:17:4630 is the right answer.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Well done. Two each, and we go back to you, Irfan.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Defeated by the French in the 1890s,
0:17:52 > 0:17:58Behanzin was the last monarch of which historical African kingdom?
0:18:03 > 0:18:04I'll go for Benin.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Going for Benin.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09It's actually Dahomey.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I need a bit of help here, Eggheads. Anyone know about Dahomey?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15He's unlucky there because Dahomey,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17as it was known at that time,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19is what subsequently much later,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22when it became an independent country, took the name Benin.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Oh, right.- Benin is the name of the current country and it was part of
0:18:26 > 0:18:28the wave of colonial conquest at that time
0:18:28 > 0:18:30and the French took that area.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Right. Poor old Behanzin was the last monarch of Dahomey.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37All right. So two out of three for our Challenger.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Beth, let's see if you can take the round with this question.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44The Gerousia was the name for the council of elders
0:18:44 > 0:18:46in which ancient city state?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52This is really going to be...
0:18:52 > 0:18:56It was my first thought when those came up.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59The word didn't sound like it belonged to either of the other two.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01So I'm going to go with Carthage.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Carthage is the wrong answer.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- It's Sparta.- That would be the one I would have never picked.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09OK, that is a comfort. Three questions each you've had
0:19:09 > 0:19:12and scores are level. A bit of a let-off there, Irfan.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Let's see if you can get yourself into the final now.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16OK? That would really level it up.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19And it would be game on with £24,000 to play for.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Here's your question. It gets harder, I don't give you options.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Harald III, also known as Harald Hardrada,
0:19:27 > 0:19:33was king of which Northern European country from 1046 to 1066?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Norway.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Norway's right. Well done. Good quizzing.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Beth to stay in.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Octavian, Lepidus and which Roman general made up the so-called
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Second Triumvirate in 43 BC?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51The only one I could think of would be Mark Antony.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Mark Antony's right. Well done, Beth.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Back to you, Irfan.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Which English king issued a proclamation known as the
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Coronation Charter, or Charter of Liberties,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06upon his succession in 1100?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I'm just trying to think.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11It could be either...
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Henry II or Henry I.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'll go for Henry I.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23You really are a good quizzer. You're right, well done, Henry I.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24It's excellent.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25So Beth on the back foot.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27But you need this to stay in.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31In which royal palace was Elizabeth I born in 1533?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35I think she was born at Hampton Court Palace.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Let's check with the Eggheads. Is that right?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- I think it's Greenwich. - Kevin says Greenwich.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Oh!- Greenwich is the answer, you've been knocked out. Irfan, well played.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Good quizzing. You really stormed that.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48And you will be in the final round, which is now looking very,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50very evenly balanced.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53So please come back and we'll play it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56It is time for our final round.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:21:01 > 0:21:03to take part in this round.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05So, Boyd and Jang from the Cranium Crushers,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07and also Beth and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Razvan, Irfan and Ross,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17you are playing to win the Cranium Crushers £24,000.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Lisa, Dave and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24which is the Eggheads' reputation, and to keep this amazing roll going.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31This time they're all General Knowledge, you can confer, OK?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Cranium Crushers, the really big question, I think,
0:21:33 > 0:21:37is whether your three brains can defeat these three here.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39And would you like to go first, or second?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46OK, good luck.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48£24,000 you're playing for.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52The first issue of the coarsely humorous magazine Viz
0:21:52 > 0:21:56was published at the end of which decade?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I'd say maybe the '50s.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- It's quite old. - Go for it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:091950s.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11We'll go for the '50s, please, Jeremy.
0:22:11 > 0:22:131950s.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's the 1970s.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Two decades later. Eggheads, your question.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23In which film are Bill Murray's closing lines, "It's so beautiful,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26"let's live here. We'll rent to start."
0:22:32 > 0:22:36OK, now I, logically speaking, would have gone for Groundhog Day,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39on the basis I think that's the only one where he ends up with a love
0:22:39 > 0:22:42interest who he might want to say, let's live here with.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Because in Lost In Translation he walks off on his own.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Yes, he does.- And in Rushmore, I've never seen Rushmore.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Doesn't he have this sort of professor-type role?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Yeah, yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I don't really see how that would fit with Rushmore.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58It could be. It's a long time since I've seen any of them.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I don't think it really works for Lost In Translation at all.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- No.- The logical thing is Ground...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05At the end of Groundhog Day it's him and Andie McDowell.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08It's a happier ending, certainly than Lost In Translation.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Yeah.- I think we've got to go Ground....
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Are you happy with that?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Well, I think logically.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I'd have to go for Groundhog Day.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Go with that.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20We think probably, logically
0:23:20 > 0:23:21it leads to Groundhog Day.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23So we'll try Groundhog Day.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25The logic is good. Groundhog Day is the right answer.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Eggheads, you've taken the lead.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29£24,000 we're playing for.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I won't say you need to get this one right, but it would be very handy.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Which journalist, author and presenter married
0:23:35 > 0:23:40fellow journalist Jackie Ashley in 1987?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48He's a journalist, author and presenter.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49It's either Paxman or Marr.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52It's one of those two.
0:23:54 > 0:23:551987.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Go for Marr?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Andrew Marr.- We'll go for Andrew Marr, please, Jeremy.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06He is the right answer.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Andrew Marr is the right answer.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Well done. It's one each.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13But the Eggheads have a question in hand.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14£24,000 on the table.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Which Italian word is often used to describe the golden froth
0:24:18 > 0:24:22on top of an espresso coffee?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27It's crema, isn't it?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- I have never heard that ever. - I've never heard of it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I'm sorry, Kevin.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35It's the golden froth on top of a...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38The golden froth on top of an espresso coffee.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It looks like a cream, doesn't it?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Because it's not like it's foam, like a cappuccino.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- Not at all. - I mean, panna is a general term.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Panna is cream, full stop.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- I've certainly heard crema in relation to coffee.- OK.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Whereas I haven't heard panna, as such.- No.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Lozione just sounds horrible.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59And lozione I must confess to not...
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Which means, of course, it could be.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Yeah.- I like the idea of crema because when you get an espresso
0:25:04 > 0:25:05you just...
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Foam is a misleading term, I think, with an espresso
0:25:08 > 0:25:11because you just get that little golden smudge on the top.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Yeah.- I think crema is probably fair enough.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- And it's the only one you have heard in relation to coffee?- Yeah.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20OK. We'll go for it.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Not too sure on this.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24My first instinct on,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27crema is the word that's used in relation to the way in
0:25:27 > 0:25:28which these things are made.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Panna is just a general term for cream that's used anyway.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35We don't know lozione but we'll try crema.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Crema it is.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Eggheads, you've taken the lead.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42And that means you must get this question right, Challengers.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Which hyphenated expression did Oxford dictionaries declare its
0:25:47 > 0:25:52international word of the year in 2016?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Flip-flopper's the most obscure one.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I think flip-flopper, as well. There's just something about it.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Something makes me think people would be saying that.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I don't know, I'm thinking Alt-right.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Alt-right?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12You two think flip-flopper?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Just that's the one that stands out at me.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It's the most obscure.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Alt-right... - I've never heard of alt-right.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22What is that supposed to be short for?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Maybe a computer expression. - Something to do with a keyboard.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27It's a keyboard expression, alt-right?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I presume post-truth is obviously post-truth.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33It's between alt-right or flip-flopper, I think.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35I'm not sure.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It could be either of the two.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41You'd think if it was alt...
0:26:41 > 0:26:45I know people say all right, but then alt-right?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48If that's something to do with computers, like we're assuming,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52then it would have come out before last year.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Do you know what I mean? It wouldn't be a new...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57They've classed it as a new word.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59They've classed it as a new word. I don't know.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01It's swings towards alt-right, I think.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- We'll go for alt-right.- All right.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07We'll go for alt-right, please, Jeremy.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Alt-right is associated with Mr Trump and some of his supporters
0:27:11 > 0:27:14and others. Flip-flopper, you're right, has been around for a while.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16It's not that big a phrase.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Post-truth is the answer we wanted.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20The post-truth world.
