0:00:05 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:13 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:28 > 0:00:31their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Taking on our quiz champions today are the Kendaliers from London.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, this team quiz together regularly
0:00:39 > 0:00:41at the Duke of Kendal pub near Marble Arch,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44where team captain Alan is the quizmaster.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Let's meet them. Hi, I'm Alan,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and I'm a retired headteacher.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Hello, I'm Jonathan.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'm a local government officer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Kate, and I'm an education adviser.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Toby, and I am a primary schoolteacher.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Ian, and I'm a fraud investigator.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So, Alan and team, hello.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hello. And this is all about the Duke of Kendal pub, Alan.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Yeah. We have a quiz there once a month, I'm the quizmaster.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11And everybody else in the team here,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13they are sometimes in different teams,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15sometimes they combine together.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18So did you go around the pub and say "You, you, you and you"?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm not that bossy!
0:01:20 > 0:01:21But to get the best quizzers...
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Whilst choosing this team, we did slightly hand-pick, yes.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27We looked carefully. And, Alan, you set the questions,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29does that mean you know a lot of answers?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Cos, I must say, I ask them a lot here but they're always cleverer.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36I don't set all of the questions, I set the picture questions.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37The picture questions? Yes.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Which are quite fiendish.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Fiendish, yes. What, you have a picture of a person...?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Oh, it's all sorts of themes.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Every day there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs - however,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51if the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53that prize money rolls over, as you know.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The Eggheads have won just the last game, I can tell you,
0:01:56 > 0:01:57so they look very beatable,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and it means you will win ?2,000 if you triumph today.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Would you like to get cracking?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Yes. We would.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06OK. So, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10And you can choose between Beth, Kevin, Chris, Dave and Lisa.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13It would be, wouldn't it? That was the one we really didn't want. You didn't want this?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Who would be Sport? I think it's got to be me, hasn't it?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Go on, then. Go on, Alan.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21It's me. Oh, dear. So there was no sporting person?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24There was nobody who's really, really strong at Sport.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27OK. So Alan, retired headteacher, against which Egghead?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Any one of the five.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Who's going to struggle with Sport? Shall we go for Chris? Yeah.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33I think, yeah. Yeah.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I'll take on Chris, please.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37That's going to go down well!
0:02:37 > 0:02:42This has the tragic inevitability of certain Greek tragedies, yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Naming no Greek tragedies!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48So, Alan from the Kendaliers, to take on Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58So, Sport, Alan, and would you like to go first or second?
0:02:58 > 0:02:59I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Good luck. When Jessica Ennis-Hill announced her retirement
0:03:06 > 0:03:11from athletics in 2016, how many Olympic gold medals had she won?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Now... She certainly won the gold medal in London.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22I think actually in Rio she lost to a Belgian,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24so I'm going to say 1, Jeremy.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26That's a brilliant answer, yeah, 1 is correct.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Chris. In 2016,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Antonio Conte became manager of which Premiership football team?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Conte... Italian, by the sound of him.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Erm...
0:03:42 > 0:03:43I don't think it's West Ham.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Chelsea, Tottenham, Chelsea Tottenham...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Well, you support Chelsea.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50So...probably Tottenham.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I'll say Tottenham. JEREMY LAUGHS
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I thought you were going to say, "So it's probably Chelsea."
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I've never heard you mention him, so...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Ah, well, that's a good bit of reasoning, yeah.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Chelsea's the answer. Uh-huh.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Good start for the Challengers here, what about this?
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Very first question.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Go, Alan. Banana skin.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09OK, Alan. Eyes on the target here.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares won which two
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Grand Slam men's doubles titles in 2016?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I don't think they won the Australian Open...
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Right, I'm far from certain,
0:04:28 > 0:04:32and I'm going to take a guess and go for...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34French Open and Wimbledon.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36No, it's right at the other end actually,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39it's Australian Open and US Open.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Chris. The swimmer David Wilkie
0:04:41 > 0:04:45won an Olympic gold medal for Great Britain in which city?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Ah... David Wilkie.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Long time ago.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Er... When was LA?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57'84, wasn't it?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Tokyo was too early.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Have to go with Montreal.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Yes, you've got it right, Chris. Well done, Montreal it is.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07So, level, after two questions.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08And back to you, Alan, for your third.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13The 1979 Formula 1 world champion Jody Scheckter
0:05:13 > 0:05:14was born in which country?
0:05:18 > 0:05:24Jody Scheckter, which is spelt by the way S-C-H-E-C-K-T-E-R.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Right. I don't think it's Australia.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Now, Niki Lauda was Austrian.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Was Jody Scheckter Austrian as well?
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Again, I'm not certain.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I'll go down the middle with South Africa.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Team-mates, is he right? We think so, yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44They like this, Alan, you've got it absolutely right. South Africa.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45OK, Chris, under pressure here.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50The England cricketer Andrew Caddick spent his English domestic
0:05:50 > 0:05:53first-class cricket career at which county club?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Don't think he's a Yorkshireman.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Somerset...or Essex?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Andy Caddick, from Essex.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Yeah, I'll go with Essex.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Dave? Somerset. Somerset is the answer!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Oh, wrong one again, yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Alan will be in the final round, Chris has been knocked out.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Please return to us, both of you, rejoin your teams, and we'll play Round 2.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22So, the Kendaliers haven't lost any brains from the final round so far,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25the Eggheads have lost a brain.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26And the next subject is Film TV.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So who would like this?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Who's the person who watches it all?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Looking at Toby?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I'll go for it. Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Toby? OK, our primary schoolteacher.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Against which Egghead, Toby?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Anyone but Chris.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Erm...
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I would go for Lisa.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Lisa? Yeah. Lisa?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47OK, we choose Lisa. I think they're all good at it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Going to go for Lisa? Going to go for Lisa.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Very good. So Toby from the Kendaliers, Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54please go to the Question Room.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59On Film TV, Toby - would you like to go first or second?
0:06:59 > 0:07:00I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05All right, here we go.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07In order of years of release,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10which is the second film in the Star Wars franchise?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Order of years of release...
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Um, I'm going to go with The Empire Strikes Back.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yeah, I so remember it when it came out. You're quite right.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30The Empire Strikes Back came after the original Star Wars.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Lisa, who was the host of the game show Countdown when Carol Vorderman joined?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Incomparable and much missed Richard Whiteley.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Yeah, what a great man.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Richard Whiteley is correct.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46OK, over to you, Toby.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Which Disney animation features the cat character Thomas O'Malley?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Oh... Disney animation.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Disney animation...
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Erm...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Not something I'm hugely hot on, let's have a look.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Now, the obvious answer would be The AristoCats,
0:08:06 > 0:08:07it's got "cats" in it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'm going to go The Rescuers.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Let's see... Your team, do they know?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15What do we think? I think it's The AristoCats.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16It is The AristoCats!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19They're all Disney animations, I do believe.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22The AristoCats, Toby. Sorry.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Lisa, in which decade was the American TV drama series
0:08:25 > 0:08:27The Rockford Files first broadcast?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Oy, oy, oy.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37See, I immediately thought '70s, and then I went, "Oh, maybe '60s.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40"Or maybe it's even further back than that."
0:08:40 > 0:08:43So I think maybe I can safely rule out the '90s, at least.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Erm... I don't know.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49I suppose the sort of percentage guess is the '70s.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52And it was my first instinct. We'll try the 1970s.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Yeah, 1970s is right.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55And was it Jim Garner...?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Jim Garner, yeah. In the '50s, he would have been far too young
0:08:57 > 0:08:59to play a private detective, I'm thinking.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01See, I have no idea what it's even about!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04He's a private detective, I think he's in a caravan.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Every episode he gets a message,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07it sends him on a trail of something...
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's all very urbane and kind of friendly,
0:09:10 > 0:09:11there's not too much blood and thunder.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Yeah. I'm not selling it, am I?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Nah, I'll give it a miss.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17OK, Toby.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19So, two to the Eggheads, one to you.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20You need to get this one right.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25In 1964, which Coronation Street character died of a heart attack
0:09:25 > 0:09:27in a snug in the Rovers Return?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Coronation Street...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Erm...
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Ooh.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Let me cast my mind back.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I wouldn't have heard of...
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I can't think that far back for Coronation Street.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'm going to go Minnie Caldwell.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Now, your team laughed when I read the question,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51is that cos someone here's a Coronation Street fan?
0:09:51 > 0:09:52It's because Toby's never seen it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Oh, you've never seen the programme?!
0:09:55 > 0:09:56So anyone here know the answer?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59It's quite difficult. We were wondering about Martha Longhurst.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00It is Martha Longhurst.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Before I was born as well. 1964.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Martha Longhurst has knocked you out, Toby, I'm sorry.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Lisa is triumphant, she will be in the final round.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So levelling up here.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Come back to us, and we'll play Round 3.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18So as it stands, the Kendaliers have lost a brain from the final round,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20the Eggheads have lost a brain too, they've lost Chris.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22The next subject for you is Science.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Intake of breath, I sense...
0:10:25 > 0:10:28It's got to be Ian. Yeah, it's got to be you. Ian? OK.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Our fraud investigator.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Who looks like a Science fraud here?
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Oh... What are we going to do?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I think Kevin. Yeah?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Do you think? Are you sure? You want to try and take out Kevin?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Yeah, I don't see why not. Oh, go on!
0:10:42 > 0:10:43You only get one chance.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It's often a good thing to try. I'm going to take on Kevin.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Good stuff, and I think you haven't had a run-out for a while.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Not on this, no. No.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Good to get you gingered up. So to speak. Yes. OK.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Ian from the Kendaliers, to play Kevin, on Science,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59from the Eggheads, the Grand Master.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01To ensure there's no conferring,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08So I feel we haven't played on Science for a while, Kevin.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11No, I think that's probably right. I'm not too sure when the last one was.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Are you very good on Science, is that the reason,
0:11:13 > 0:11:14people have run scared?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17People make their choices depending on what their tactics
0:11:17 > 0:11:18on the day are, so...
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I don't think it's necessarily a reflection of anything
0:11:21 > 0:11:23in particular. And, Ian, you're a fraud investigator?
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Yes, certainly am.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26And is that tax, or is that just everything?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Erm, everything, really. It's whenever people have lost money
0:11:29 > 0:11:31and they want someone to try and track it down
0:11:31 > 0:11:32and find out who's done it.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35That's brilliant. Sounds like a plot from a movie.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Sometimes, but a lot of Excel spreadsheets
0:11:38 > 0:11:42and going through bits of paper, so not quite that glamourous.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Well, we'll leave it mysterious cos it sounds very good at the moment.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Science for you, Ian. Would you like to go first or second?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49I'd like to go first, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55And here we go with your first Science question.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00What word follows "sciatic" to make a part of the human body?
0:12:03 > 0:12:08So, when you first said the question I was thinking "I'm not 100% sure,"
0:12:08 > 0:12:10but, erm...
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I don't think ear or toe rings a bell,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15so I'm going to go for the sciatic nerve.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Yes, you're right.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Kevin, here we are, first science question I've asked you
0:12:20 > 0:12:21in a little while.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Which of these is an insect whose larvae can be used as
0:12:25 > 0:12:27biological pest control for the garden?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Mm, that's interesting.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Well, lapwing is a bird.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42So it's not that. I mean, lacewing is certainly an insect.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I don't know lanternwing, so it would be...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48It may be, but it would be taking a real chance to go for that.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51At least I know lacewing is an insect.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I'll have to try lacewing, but it could be lanternwing.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Now, it is lacewing, you're right. OK.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Ian. What eyesight aid was developed in 1887 by Adolf Fick?
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Right, this is something I'm not totally certain of.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I'm not sure, I think maybe the...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18maybe the glass working to be able to do that
0:13:18 > 0:13:20would have been around then, so...
0:13:20 > 0:13:25I think I'm going to go towards contact lens. It sounds...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It sounds late enough but also early enough at the same time.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29So I'm going to go for that.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Sounds very early for contact lens, but you've got it right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well done. Contact lens it is.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Playing well. Kevin.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40NTSC and PAL are two common standards used in which technology?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, they were the two...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50sort of American and European versions
0:13:50 > 0:13:53that were the systems used for television.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55So it's analogue television.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Analogue television is correct.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Two each. Third question, back to you.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Ian, this could be crucial.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05The chemist and inventor Alfred Nobel died in 1896
0:14:05 > 0:14:07in which country?
0:14:10 > 0:14:151896, that's not ringing any bells for any of those countries
0:14:15 > 0:14:17in particular...
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I know that he was from Norway.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21So...
0:14:21 > 0:14:25You know, quite close to Russia?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27That's the only logic I'm thinking at the moment,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I'm going to go for Russia.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31It's Italy, I'm afraid.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33So you've got two out of three.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Kevin has a chance to take the round.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39What common name is given to the deep sea octopuses from the genus
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Grimpoteuthis, due to their resemblance to a Disney character?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I mean, I'll rule out Mowgli.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Mowgli was a human boy. Why would it be Mowgli?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I'm a bit torn between the other two, because my first thought was...
0:15:01 > 0:15:05..Dumbo, because of the trunk of the elephant.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07That sort of thing.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10On the other hand, an octopus with several legs -
0:15:10 > 0:15:15there's the famous shot of Bambi learning to walk and to stand
0:15:15 > 0:15:18with the legs splaying out in all directions, so...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20you could make a case for that as well.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I'll have to try Dumbo octopus, but I...
0:15:26 > 0:15:27..I'm not sure.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29OK, I hear your uncertainty.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Dumbo's right, though, Dumbo octopus.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Well done, Kevin. Ian, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36and as a result you won't be able to help your team in the final round,
0:15:36 > 0:15:40I'm afraid. So come back to us, both of you. One more round to play.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45As it stands, the Kendaliers have lost two brains from the final round,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47the Eggheads have lost one.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48It's not a crisis.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51But this is the moment now just to take one of them out.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Last chance you get, and the subject is Politics.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Another intake of breath on this side.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59What were you hoping for subject-wise, that's not come up?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Geography and History. Ah, I'm so sorry.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Shall I go? Or do you want to have a go in the Question Room?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08You go. All right, looks like it's me!
0:16:08 > 0:16:10That's good. You want to do it, that's good.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Education adviser Kate, against either Dave or Beth.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16What do we reckon? Try Beth.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Try Beth?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21We'll go for Beth. Right, so Kate from the Kendaliers,
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Beth from the Eggheads.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25For the last time, please go to the Question Room.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29So Politics, Kate, would you like to go first or second?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Here we go. In May 2015,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Lord Sugar announced he would be leaving which political party,
0:16:39 > 0:16:43to which he had been signed since 1987?
0:16:46 > 0:16:47It's the Labour Party.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49It is indeed. It is indeed.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Beth. What is the first name of the politician who married Ed Balls
0:16:54 > 0:16:55in 1998?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01She is Yvette Cooper. Yvette.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Yvette is the right answer.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Back to you, Kate. In which decade did Ronald Reagan
0:17:05 > 0:17:07become Governor of California?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Ooh... Well, I know it wasn't the 1980s,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17because that's when he became President,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I think, for the first time.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23So the basis that I don't really remember...
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I'm going to go for the 1960s.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Yeah, the logic is good,
0:17:27 > 0:17:28he became President in 1980
0:17:28 > 0:17:32and was Governor of California from the '60s, yes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Beth. Adam Smith, the 18th-century Scottish political economist
0:17:37 > 0:17:40and philosopher, is best known for his book The Wealth Of what?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Er... Wealth Of Nations.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It is indeed The Wealth Of Nations.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Zooming along here, two each.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Back to you, Kate. Who became the First Minister of Northern Ireland
0:17:53 > 0:17:58in January 2016 - the first time a woman has held the title?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Oh, goodness me.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10She's... I've seen her on the TV very recently,
0:18:10 > 0:18:12and I'm struggling with her name.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I don't think it's Danielle Roberts.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I'm going to go for Arlene Foster.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Team, what do you think? Yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I think she's right. I think that's right.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Absolutely right, Arlene Foster.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Here we go, Beth.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29To stay in. The 2016 sole recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize
0:18:29 > 0:18:31was the president of which country?
0:18:35 > 0:18:42I think this was to do with his work with a guerrilla organisation,
0:18:42 > 0:18:43the FARC?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45And I think that's Colombia.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47It is indeed Colombia. Well done, Beth.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49So three each after three questions.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51So Sudden Death we go to, Kate.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54It gets a bit harder - I don't give you alternative options.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Which British Prime Minister met Adolf Hitler
0:18:57 > 0:18:59in Munich in September 1938?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05So immediately before the Second World War,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07who was the Prime Minister?
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Neville Chamberlain.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Neville Chamberlain is correct. Well done.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Beth, you need to get this right to stay in.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Who was appointed Shadow Home Secretary in October 2016?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Let's try Angela Eagle.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Let's see if the Eggheads know...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Diane Abbott. Diane Abbott is the answer. You've been knocked out.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Well done, Kate, you're in the final round
0:19:29 > 0:19:32on Sudden Death. Good play!
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Please come back to us, rejoin your teams,
0:19:34 > 0:19:35and we will play that final round.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39So this is what we have been playing towards -
0:19:39 > 0:19:41it is time for the final round which, as always,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43is General Knowledge.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be allowed
0:19:46 > 0:19:47to take part in this round.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50So Toby and Ian from the Kendaliers
0:19:50 > 0:19:52and Chris and Beth from the Eggheads,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54would you please now leave the studio.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Alan, Jonathan, Kate, you're playing to win the Kendaliers ?2,000.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Lisa, Dave and Kevin,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05you're playing for something that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation
0:20:05 > 0:20:07and just to get the show rolling again!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn -
0:20:10 > 0:20:12this time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14You are allowed to confer.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15OK, team? So, Kendaliers,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18the question is can your three brains defeat these three
0:20:18 > 0:20:20in a famous victory?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Alan, Jonathan, Kate, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25First? I think we should go first, yes.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26We'll go first.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30All right, good luck.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32General Knowledge - first question to you.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Justin Theroux, who married Jennifer Aniston in 2015,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40is what relation to the TV presenter Louis Theroux?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I think they're cousins.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I think they're definitely of the same generation.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50The same generation?
0:20:50 > 0:20:56Mm. Cos I think... Isn't Justin the son of another famous Theroux?
0:20:56 > 0:20:57I think he is, yes.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Shall we go cousins? I'm pretty sure it's cousins.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I'm not...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I certainly don't know, so I'm happy to follow you.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Yeah. Cousin?
0:21:06 > 0:21:07We'll go for cousins.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Cousin is correct.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12All right. Over to you, Eggheads.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Korky the Cat appeared on the front page of which British comic
0:21:15 > 0:21:20from 1937 until 1984, when he was replaced by Desperate Dan?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Happy with The Dandy? Oh, yes.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Dandy? Is it The Dandy or The Beano?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29No, it's Dandy. Desperate Dan was definitely The Dandy.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30And Korky the Cat was The Dandy.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Yeah, yeah. We're going for The Dandy, please, Jeremy.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37The correct answer is Dandy. Well done.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Second question, Challengers.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43In mythology, who was the lover of Thisbe,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47with whom he conversed through a chink in a wall,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50as their parents had forbidden them to marry?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56This was part of Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57It was Pyramus and Thisbe.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00That sounds good to me. Right, OK, yes.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03OK. Happy to go with that? Yeah.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04We'll go with Pyramus.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I like that, Jonathan.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Straight there, Midsummer Night's Dream. Pyramus and Thisbe.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11You're quite right. Pyramus it is.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Over to you, Eggheads.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Which English MP was fined ?5,000 in 2016
0:22:17 > 0:22:21for making unsolicited electioneering calls?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30If it was electioneering,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32it could be to do with local elections
0:22:32 > 0:22:34but it could be to do with the Brexit referendum, as well.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Yeah. I...
0:22:36 > 0:22:39You got an instinct?... Well, I...
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Tom Watson got into trouble for something.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'd not heard of Hilary Benn or Lammy...
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Cos the first thing I was thinking of was Danczuk.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52The Rochdale lad, but... Yeah.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I've got an idea that Tom Watson got into trouble for something,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58but I can't remember what it...
0:22:58 > 0:23:00what it was. And, obviously, he's senior.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04He is. He's senior within the Labour Party.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Deputy leader, yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Whereas the other two, at that time in 2016,
0:23:10 > 0:23:14wouldn't have had positions within the party? Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19With Lammy... Was he standing for anything in particular?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Oh, oh, London. Oh, hello.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24London Mayor, wasn't he?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Hmmm.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Five grand in 2016.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31It could have been investigated and... Yeah.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It could've been for any reason, really, in 2016.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36OK, we're going to have to... I think...
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I would say...
0:23:39 > 0:23:40it's, on balance...
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I mean, it could be either of them but, on balance,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45it's probably best to go with our first instincts.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46OK, so we're going to go with Tom Watson.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49I'm OK to go with that. OK.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Right, we don't know. We don't know.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53We don't know, Jeremy, but...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57..on balance, we're going to go with Tom Watson.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Tom Watson. Now, you were on the right track there
0:23:59 > 0:24:00with the London Mayor thing.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02David Lammy wanted the Labour nomination.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04That's what these calls were in connection with.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06The answer was David Lammy.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09You've got it wrong. Difficult question, no doubt about it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12It gives you clear sight of the ?2,000.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15If you get this question right, you've won.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You've beaten the Eggheads. Here we go.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21The actress Pamela Lane was the first wife of which playwright?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28They've all been married to famous women. Yes.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Arthur Miller, most notably to Marilyn Monroe...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Of course, yes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34..for which he is best known.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39So, I'm thinking, as a guess, because I don't know...
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I would think, if they're asking
0:24:41 > 0:24:44the question "who was the first wife,"
0:24:44 > 0:24:46it would point to Arthur Miller,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49because his second wife was more famous. So well-known.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51It's good logic. It's good logic.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I think we would have heard of her
0:24:53 > 0:24:57if she was married to Tom Stoppard. Yeah.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01John Osborne, I think, was married to Jill Bennett.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Oh, he was, yes. OK.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08But whether he was married before that, I don't know.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Let's go for Arthur Miller. So, we'll go with Arthur Miller, please.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13John Osborne is the answer. Oh!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Not Arthur Miller.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19So there was the chance there to take the whole contest.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Eggheads are still behind.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22If you get this wrong, they've won.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Eggheads, to stay in, what is the capital of the Italian region
0:25:26 > 0:25:30of Friuli Venezia Giulia?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40It must be Trieste, cos it's not Bologna and it's not Genoa.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Those are two other regions. Two other regions, yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It's Trieste, isn't it? Yeah. We're happy.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46We're all...? It's geography, mate.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49You two are on your own. If you're happy, I'm happy.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52We just thought we'd make Trieste our answer. Trieste.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Jeremy, we're going for Trieste, please.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Trieste is the correct answer. Well done. You've pulled it back.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Ooft! Skin of your teeth there! We were.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Up against some good quizzers here.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05We go to Sudden Death, Kendaliers.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08You don't get alternative answers from me.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Here is your first question.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13What is the name of the 184m high observation tower
0:26:13 > 0:26:19built in Seattle for the 1962 World's Fair?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Something to do with...
0:26:20 > 0:26:24I think it's something to do with sky, or star...
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Not Starbucks.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29They started there, but it's not.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30If it's some kind of tower, Sky Tower?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35There's something in Vancouver... Sky. No, it's...
0:26:37 > 0:26:40It's not the Skylon Tower? No, Skylon was, I think
0:26:40 > 0:26:44the Festival of Britain, I think. Oh, it was, wasn't it, yes?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Yes. It's something sort of along those lines, I think.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Shall we have a punt at something?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I think it's going to come in...
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Star Tower?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It's not Tower. It's a bit like Skylon.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I think it's just one... One word.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Starburst. Starburst, yeah.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07You're not there, and you're not far away. Let me just...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Space Needle. Space Needle! Ah!
0:27:11 > 0:27:12But they haven't won yet.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Eggheads, you can take the contest with this question.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Which Steven Spielberg film tells the story of the conman Frank Abagnale?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Catch Me If You Can. Catch Me If You Can.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Let me just clarify that -
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Catch Me If You Can. Catch Me If You Can.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Frank Abagnale Jr, I think. Catch Me If You Can.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Our answer is Catch Me If You Can.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34If you've got this right, you've taken the contest, Eggheads.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37The answer is Catch Me If You Can.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48And you ran them very close with that one answer
0:27:48 > 0:27:50which was needed, and didn't come.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Eggheads, well done. You played well there,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54cos you had to hold on to your nerves, there.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57That was a real tightrope act. And you were close to the Lammy.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59I was listening carefully, but, there we go.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02They discuss it, and sometimes they go astray.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Commiserations, Kendaliers.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Good game. I hope you enjoyed it.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08We did. You were proper quizzers, so I know how good you are.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11We can tell. The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13They reign supreme over quiz land.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15It does mean you're not going home with the ?2,000,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Eggheads, well done.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Maybe we can build up a little bit of a run, here.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Maybe, maybe not. Maybe they'll be stopped.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Join us next time to see what the next team
0:28:26 > 0:28:27can do against the Eggheads.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29There will be ?3,000 to play for.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Until then, goodbye.
