0:00:05 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:27 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today are
0:00:34 > 0:00:36The Thoroughbreds, from Yorkshire.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, this team share a passion for horse racing,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and are members of a syndicate owning 13 horses.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's meet them. Hi, I'm Terry.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm a retired consultant psychiatrist.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Stephen. I am a train driver instructor.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm David. I'm a chartered accountant.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Phil. I'm a retired harbour master.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Paul. I'm a port and site services director.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So, Terry and team, hello.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hello. Great to see you, and all centring around horses, Terry?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Yes, we're all members of a racehorse ownership club called
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Grange Park Racing, which was founded in Leeds
0:01:12 > 0:01:14five or six years ago now.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17From a membership of one initially, we now have 100 members,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19and we support our 13 racehorses
0:01:19 > 0:01:21who run in our colours wherever they run.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Have you ever had two of your horses race against each other?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We have once, yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28That wasn't such a good experience.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31But we have had one special day when we went to Beverley Racecourse
0:01:31 > 0:01:33in the morning, we had a winner there,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36and we went on to Ripon or Redcar in the afternoon,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38and had a different winner there.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I hope this is a special day today. Good luck, team.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Every day there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47However, as you know, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49that prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Now, Thoroughbreds, the Eggheads have won just the last two games,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56so there is ?3,000 for you to play for today.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Would you like to start? Oh, yes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I thought so! The first head-to-head battle
0:02:01 > 0:02:03is on the subject of Film and TV.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06You can choose between Judith, Beth, Pat, Dave, and Lisa.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I will do that. Is it going to be Paul?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11OK, our port and site services director.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Against which Egghead? Any one of the five, Paul.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Judith? Yeah, OK. We will go for Judith, please, Jeremy.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18So, it is Paul from The Thoroughbreds
0:02:18 > 0:02:19versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I can see you're looking very keen.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22To ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:22 > 0:02:27would you please both take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Paul, you were the Mayor of Beverley at some point.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I was three years ago, Jeremy, yes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34You're playing Film and TV against Judith. Yes.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Would you like to go first or second, Paul?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I will go first, please, Jeremy.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48Here we go. Which UK reality TV show is filmed in Murwillumbah, New South Wales?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Well, I am so not a fan of reality television,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00but I think I can narrow this one down.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I can eliminate Big Brother and X Factor,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and say it's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
0:03:07 > 0:03:08is quite right, the jungle.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Judith, your question.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Young Hyacinth, which was first shown on the BBC in 2016,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18is a prequel to which other sitcom?
0:03:23 > 0:03:29I think that refers to Mrs Bucket, so it's Keeping Up Appearances.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Keeping Up Appearances is the right answer, Judith. Well done.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Paul, back to you. The Return Of Doctor Mysterio
0:03:34 > 0:03:38is the title of which television programme's 2016 Christmas special?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I've seen two of the Sherlocks,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52so I would say then it would be Doctor Who.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Doctor Who is correct.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01OK, Judith, which comedian and actor voices the main canine character,
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Max, in the 2016 animated film, The Secret Life Of Pets?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Well, Tom Hanks I don't think is a comedian, is he?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14He's an actor, pure and simple.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I don't know who Louis CK is.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Ben Stiller. What is your famous rule, Judith, when you don't...?
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Go down the right.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25The magic right. And why did you not follow your rule?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Because I have never heard of him.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Louis CK is the answer.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Oh, I should have done it. At your peril, you disobey your own rule.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36So, you can take the round with this, Paul.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Lawrence Kasdan,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40who found fame as one of the screenwriters
0:04:40 > 0:04:42of The Empire Strikes Back,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45also wrote the screenplay for which of these films?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I have no idea on this.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I will rule out Bodyguard,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02because it's well after The Empire Strikes Back.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I'll hazard a guess at Flashdance, Jeremy.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12The answer is The Bodyguard. Right, the one I ruled out! OK.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16A chance for you, Judith, to draw level, but if you get this wrong,
0:05:16 > 0:05:17you know what happens.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20In the film Back To The Future,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24what is the first name of Marty McFly's father,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26as played by Crispin Glover?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32WHISPERS: Back To The Future.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Oh, dear. Well, magic right...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Oh, well, no, it was magic right last time, wasn't it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I don't know. George.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40George is the right answer.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Oh! After three questions each, we go to Sudden Death, Paul.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48To make it a little bit harder, I don't give you options.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49You ready? I am.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53In which British science fiction television series
0:05:53 > 0:05:54from the '70s and '80s,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57did the heroes battle against the totalitarian forces
0:05:57 > 0:06:01of the Terran Federation?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Well, given that it is '70s and '80s, I don't know the answer,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08but it's from the time, I will say Blake's 7.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Blake's 7 is right, well done.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13All right, Judith, are you going to be knocked out
0:06:13 > 0:06:15by the former mayor of Beverley? Let us see.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21Who plays Jacqueline Kennedy in the 2016 biopic, Jackie?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Natalie Portman.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well done, Judith, you're absolutely right. Natalie Portman.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Paul, your question.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31The English television presenter, Michael Barratt,
0:06:31 > 0:06:35is best known for presenting which BBC evening news and current affairs
0:06:35 > 0:06:39programme from 1969 to 1977?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41That is Nationwide, Jeremy.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Nationwide is correct.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Judith, your question.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Which American fashion designer directed the 2016 film,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Nocturnal Animals, starring Amy Adams?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Tom Ford. Well done.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57OK, so we're level. Sudden Death. Paul, back to you.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Vesuvio's restaurant and The Bada Bing club are
0:07:00 > 0:07:04frequently used locations in which TV series?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Bada Bing. Bada Bing.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I don't know. I am going to say...
0:07:12 > 0:07:14..Frasier.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18No, it is I think maybe the greatest TV drama of all time, The Sopranos.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Right, I've never seen it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Judith, you have a chance to take the round now.
0:07:23 > 0:07:29Who took over BBC One's flagship Friday night TV chat show slot
0:07:29 > 0:07:30from Jonathan Ross in 2010?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Graham Norton.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Graham Norton is the right answer. You're through to the final round.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Sorry, Paul, knocked out by Judith
0:07:36 > 0:07:39on Sudden Death, and it is just the first round.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Plenty of time for our Challengers to come back.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Please rejoin your team-mates.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47As it stands, The Thoroughbreds have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49The Eggheads are all still there.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51The next subject is Science.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Science, who would like this?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54I think that's going to be me.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Terry? The skipper, our retired psychiatrist, against which Egghead?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I will take on Lisa.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04So it's going to be Terry from The Thoroughbreds
0:08:04 > 0:08:07versus Lisa from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Science is the subject.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Terry, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:12 > 0:08:13I think I will go first, Jeremy.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Here is your first question. Good luck.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Incandescence is defined as the emission of which
0:08:22 > 0:08:24of the following, by a hot object?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29It could be any one of those three,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33but I think it's probably intended to be light, so that's my answer.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It is intended to be light, you're right.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Well done. Lisa, your question.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40In a right-angled triangle, Lisa,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44what is the name for the side that always lies directly opposite
0:08:44 > 0:08:46the right angle?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52You ain't going to find a circumference on a triangle.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53It's more usually found on a circle.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Well, actually, no, circumference
0:08:55 > 0:08:57just means around the outside, so everything has got one.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Ignore me. It is the hypotenuse, Jeremy.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01It is indeed the hypotenuse.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04OK, back to you, Terry.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Isaac Newton famously wrote in a letter to Robert Hooke,
0:09:07 > 0:09:13"If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of..." what?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Well, that's a really nice question to come my way.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21It's a very, very famous quote, and if I get this wrong,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I am going home immediately.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Giants.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27You're right, you're not going home, giants is right.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Thanks. Title of an album by...?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Oasis. Oasis, that's right.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Lisa, a cochlear implant can be inserted surgically to help with
0:09:37 > 0:09:39which of the five senses?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It is... It is hearing, isn't it?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Let me just... Yeah, because I suddenly had a big panic, and went,
0:09:47 > 0:09:48"Oh, no, hang on, is that an eye thing?"
0:09:48 > 0:09:50No, no, I'm sure it is hearing.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Hearing is the right answer.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54So you're level, 2-2.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Third question to you, Terry, now.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01The mentalis muscles in the face directly allow us to perform which
0:10:01 > 0:10:02of these actions?
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Yeah, I think it relates to the forehead and the area surrounding
0:10:12 > 0:10:16the forehead and the eyes, so I have got to go for blink.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Mentalis, mentalis, anyone?
0:10:19 > 0:10:20No. No. No? Nobody here knows.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Any of the Challengers know?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23The answer is pout.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27You can win the round with this question, Lisa.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32Coming from the Greek for "dry", what is the term for a plant that is
0:10:32 > 0:10:35able to endure conditions of prolonged drought?
0:10:40 > 0:10:45The "xero" thing tends to have to do with water, doesn't it?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47"Gameto", I think that is probably...
0:10:47 > 0:10:49That is usually around sort of reproductive stuff, isn't it?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Epiphyte...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Let's try Xerophyte.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Xerophyte is the right answer.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Well done, Lisa, you're in the final round.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Sorry, Terry, you have been knocked out.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Return to your teams, and we will play round three.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06So, as it stands, The Thoroughbreds have lost two brains now from the
0:11:06 > 0:11:09final round. The Eggheads are doing pretty well today.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Maybe back on track, Eggheads, after some difficulties.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16The next subject is Geography, so which Thoroughbred would like this?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19We said it would be me. That will be me, Jeremy.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22OK, Phil, retired harbour master, against...
0:11:22 > 0:11:24You can have Dave, Pat, or Beth.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28I'd like to go against Beth, please.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Very good. So, Phil from The Thoroughbreds,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Beth from the Eggheads.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35What is it, South Asia, is that the key area?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37To ensure there is no conferring,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Phil, you are a retired harbour master.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I am, Jeremy, yes.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46And where was the harbour?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It is the Humber.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Have you travelled much outside the UK, have you?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Before I was harbour master, I was in the Merchant Navy,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57so I got a chance, you know, as a younger man to travel worldwide.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Brilliant. Well, you're on Geography.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Phil, do you want to go first or second? I will go first, please.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07So, here is your first question. If one were to travel directly west
0:12:07 > 0:12:11from Cairo, which is the first country other than Egypt
0:12:11 > 0:12:13one would cross?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Right, OK.
0:12:18 > 0:12:25Well, Sudan, I think, is a bit further south than Cairo.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Morocco, you certainly would cross,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31so it is just a case of whether you would cross Libya before you would
0:12:31 > 0:12:33cross Morocco.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37I am going to go Libya, Jeremy, but it could be Morocco.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Yes, I can see the problem.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Sudan is quite some way down inside Africa.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44The answer is Libya, well done.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Beth, here is yours.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Which of these places is located on the island of Cyprus?
0:12:53 > 0:12:58San Antonio is the party capital of Ibiza, if I remember rightly.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Not entirely sure where Syracuse is, but Paphos is certainly in Cyprus.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Paphos is in Cyprus, you are right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Back to you, Phil. In July 2016,
0:13:09 > 0:13:13a temperature of 54 Celsius was recorded in which country,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17making it one of the highest temperatures ever recorded on earth?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Right. Well, I have been to all three of these countries,
0:13:24 > 0:13:30and the hottest of them, in my experience, was Kuwait.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33It got dreadfully hot there in summer.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Japan is more temperate.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Brazil can get hot and humid,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40but I'm going to go for Kuwait on this one.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Yes, you're right, it is Kuwait.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Beth, your question.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49Garston and Huyton are districts of which English city?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Pretty sure it is not Birmingham, so I am torn between the other two.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01I am trying to get an accent of how you would...
0:14:01 > 0:14:02..pronounce them.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Huyton.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10I bet Dave's sitting there, going, "It's such and such!"
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I'm going to go with Liverpool.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18You're right. Oh, phew! Well done.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I do everything by parliamentary constituencies,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23and Liverpool Huyton was a seat,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26and I'm wondering if I know that because it has had somebody famous.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Harold Wilson.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Harold Wilson was the MP there! OK.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31So, two out of two for you both, and, Phil,
0:14:31 > 0:14:32your third question is this.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35The island group of Tristan da Cunha is part of a
0:14:35 > 0:14:39British Overseas Territory with St Helena and where else?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47OK, Jeremy, well, I've been to two of those locations.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I have been to Pitcairn, that's the Pacific Ocean.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Montserrat's in the Caribbean.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55But I've been to Ascension Island as well,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59and that is the one that is grouped together with Tristan da Cunha
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and the others, so my answer is Ascension Island.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Your travelling is coming in very handy here, isn't it, Phil?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It is. It's great when you've been there.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Ascension Island is quite right.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12So, get this wrong, Beth, and you will be knocked out.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15What is the name of the tram or light rail system that runs
0:15:15 > 0:15:16through Dublin?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Oh, I think I've been on this as well,
0:15:23 > 0:15:27or I certainly saw it when I visited Dublin.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29It is not O-Train, I am pretty sure.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I am going to go with Luas.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Luas is quite right.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Three out of three for you both. We go to Sudden Death, Phil.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Gets a bit harder - I don't give your alternatives.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Your first question -
0:15:38 > 0:15:43which European city is divided by canals that form concentric belts
0:15:43 > 0:15:46around it, known as the Grachtengordel?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50OK, well, the canal system in Amsterdam
0:15:50 > 0:15:53is on a circular basis.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55"Grachten" sounds like it could be Dutch,
0:15:55 > 0:15:56so I'm going to go for Amsterdam.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Amsterdam is correct.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Sudden Death, Beth. Over to you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Which is the largest island in the northern hemisphere?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Greenland.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Greenland is right, well done.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12Phil, the German federal state of Saarland borders Luxembourg
0:16:12 > 0:16:14and which other country?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Right, OK, if it's down...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19If it borders Luxembourg,
0:16:19 > 0:16:25the countries around Luxembourg are Belgium and Holland.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I'm going to go for Holland.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30OK. Beth, do you know this?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I probably... I might have gone for Belgium, actually.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33It's France. Ah. Oh!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37So, Beth, you have a chance to take the round.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Swiss International Airlines,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41the flag-carrying airline of Switzerland,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44has its main hub at which city's airport?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I will go for Zurich.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Zurich is the right answer, Beth, well done.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51You have won on Geography.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Sorry, Phil, you played so well there.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56It is looking a bit tricky for the Challengers today,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58but by no means impossible.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Rejoin your team-mates, please, one more round to go.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04So, The Thoroughbreds have lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Fallen at three fences, I think we can say.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10The Eggheads are still charging round the course,
0:17:10 > 0:17:11but let's see if you can stop them.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15The next subject, I think you might like this, is Sport.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16OK, who is this? That'll be me.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Stephen? Yeah. Our train driver instructor,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21against either Pat or Dave.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Let's take Dave.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Very good. Stephen from The Thoroughbreds,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26taking on Dave from the Eggheads.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Both, I can tell, love their Sport.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34On Sport, Stephen, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:34 > 0:17:35First, please.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40OK, your first question, Stephen.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Which of these is an event in Olympic road cycling?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Right, that's...
0:17:49 > 0:17:52It's not Mountain or Relay, it's Time Trial.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Time Trial is right.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Dave, here's your question.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57For which team did Pep Guardiola play football
0:17:57 > 0:17:58at international level?
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Spain.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Spain is right.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Back to you, Stephen. Queen's Club plays host to a men's ATP tennis
0:18:10 > 0:18:15tournament that is traditionally held just after which Grand Slam competition?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Right, it is held just before Wimbledon.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23The US Open is in September,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25so it is the French Open.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26It is the French Open.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Very assured play by you.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Dave, in November 2016,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33it was announced that which country's Formula 1 Grand Prix
0:18:33 > 0:18:35would be dropped from the 2017 season?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I have got a vague recollection about Germany,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45so I am going Germany, please.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Always go with your vague recollections.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Germany is right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51He's going to be a tough one to play, here, Stephen, can you tell?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I think so, yes.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Here is your question.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Approximately how tall is the American Olympic gold medallist
0:18:58 > 0:19:00gymnast, Simone Biles?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Right, that's...
0:19:07 > 0:19:08That's a difficult one.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10The fact that you've asked me the question,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I do not think she is 5'3", she'd be smaller than that,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15she's obviously a very small gymnast, so...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I will say 4'8".
0:19:18 > 0:19:21You have got it absolutely right. 4'8" is the answer.
0:19:21 > 0:19:244'8", very short.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26You have got to get this right, Dave. Yeah.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Which of these is the title of a book
0:19:28 > 0:19:29by the cricketer, Mike Brearley?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Right, again, I'm not quite sure.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41But I'm going to go The Art Of Captaincy, please.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The Art Of Captaincy is correct.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Three out of three.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46This is quite a round.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Sudden Death, Stephen.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Your first question -
0:19:49 > 0:19:56the NFL team called the Ravens were established in which city in 1996?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59That's Baltimore. Baltimore is right.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Sudden Death, Dave.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05The Football League Cup was first staged at the start of which decade?
0:20:05 > 0:20:071960s.
0:20:07 > 0:20:091960s is correct, Dave.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Stephen. The American Earl Joseph Smith,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14more commonly known as JR Smith,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17is a major name in which Sport?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18I don't know. I have to be honest.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21American... JR Smith...
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Basketball.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Basketball is the right answer.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Dave, to stay in.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29The Bislett Stadium is a famous athletics venue
0:20:29 > 0:20:31in which European capital city?
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Oslo.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Oslo is correct.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Stephen. At the 1972 Olympic Games,
0:20:36 > 0:20:42the Soviet athlete Valeriy Borzov won gold in the 200 metres
0:20:42 > 0:20:43and which other event?
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Was it another...
0:20:45 > 0:20:47..running event? Or was it a field one?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I'll go for long jump.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52No, it's in a way more obvious,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55it's the 100 metres. Ah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Dave, for the round.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Whom did Leighton Rees beat in the final of the very first
0:21:01 > 0:21:04World Darts Championship in 1978?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I think Bristow beat George in 1980...
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Uh, '79 champion was John Lowe, so...
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Who else was around? There's Alan Evans.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16It could conceivably be, but no,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I don't think it was an all-Welsh final.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19I've got to go John Lowe.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21John Lowe is the right answer.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Really well played, both of you, there, that was an amazing round.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Quickfire, Sudden Death,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28it ended with Dave going through to the final.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Return to us, please, and we will play that final round.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It is time for our exciting final round.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39As always, General Knowledge is the subject.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:42 > 0:21:43are not allowed to take part.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47So, all from this side, I'm afraid, it's Terry and Steve,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Phil and Paul from The Thoroughbreds.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56David, you're playing to win The Thoroughbreds ?3,000.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Lisa, Dave, Pat, Beth and Judith,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01you're playing for something which money can't buy,
0:22:01 > 0:22:02the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11You can confer - I'm sorry that doesn't help you, David, very much.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13The question is, can your one brain defeat these five?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Good luck to you. Thank you.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21OK. Good luck.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Here's your first question.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28In 2005, Tom Cruise made headlines when he jumped up and down on
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Oprah Winfrey's sofa on TV,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32declaring his love for which actress?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39I think it must be after Nicole Kidman, so...
0:22:41 > 0:22:42..Katie Holmes.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Katie Holmes is correct.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Well done. Didn't end well, that, did it?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50No. No. Your question, Eggheads.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Which of these is a word for a piece of waste paper
0:22:53 > 0:22:55produced by punching a hole?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Chad. It's the infamous hanging chads.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Mm-hm. Chads.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05OK? We're all happy? Fine, yeah.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06We think that's the infamous...
0:23:06 > 0:23:07..chad.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Chad is right - and is that how we know it,
0:23:10 > 0:23:11from the famous election in 2000?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I think so. Otherwise we wouldn't, would we? Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16One each. Over to our Challenger.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Saltine is the name of a type of what food item?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I don't think it's a coated nut.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'm pretty sure it's not a dumpling, so...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32A thin cracker.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Yeah, your team-mates liked that, I can see they're nodding there -
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Thin cracker's right,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38two out of two. Playing well.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Eggheads, in what series of comic book stories do the rival military
0:23:42 > 0:23:46men General Alcazar and General Tapioca sometimes appear?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Hmm... No idea. That's got to be Asterix, hasn't it?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I think it's probably going to be Tintin, isn't it?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Is it? It's very humorous, isn't it? Yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58General Tapioca, and General... Yeah. General...
0:23:58 > 0:24:00What's the other one? Tintin is quite funny.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Yeah, but so's Asterix, they have...
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Well, yeah, but it's very heavily Roman-centred, isn't it? Mm.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Well, I think we can rule out Judge Dredd,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10it's not humorous in that sense.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15No. It's not quirky. It could be with Tintin that...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18He went round the world as a journalist, didn't he?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Yeah. Yeah. A roving cub reporter.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22And it could be that they were actual
0:24:22 > 0:24:24generals with Tintin's...
0:24:25 > 0:24:27..country, leading the campaigns.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Oh... No. I'm firmly in the Asterix camp, I'm afraid.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Yeah? Yeah.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Would they not have gone more for a sort of "us"-type suffix?
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Funny cod Latin. You know,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39in the same way that all the Gauls are called "X" something.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42It just sounds kind of like Herge's humour.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44You know, I think he has kind of these...
0:24:45 > 0:24:48..Slightly eccentric, quirky... What do you think, Judith?
0:24:48 > 0:24:49I don't... No idea.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52What do you think?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Linguistically I might be vaguely more inclined to Tintin
0:24:55 > 0:24:57as long as we can prove a wartime background, but it's hard.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01It's hard. If the majority is Tintin, then Tintin.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Need an answer soon.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06But... Beth's not happy. ..I have it on record I said Asterix.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Jeremy, you've seen the trouble we're in.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12So with profuse apologies to Beth,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14we're going to go for Tintin.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16OK, Tintin it is.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Good bit of local democracy here.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Is it the right answer? Do you know the answer here?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23I don't, Jeremy. As a matter of fact I do,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25cos I was reading this the other day.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Tintin! Oh! Is the answer?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Is the answer. OK.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Gosh, they made heavy work of that, my goodness me.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Maybe you've rattled them. David,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36you may just be one question away from ?3,000.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Here it is, your third question.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Berklee College of Music,
0:25:40 > 0:25:44the largest independent college of contemporary music in the world,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46is based in which city?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Torn between Boston and New York.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58So I'll go down the middle and go New York.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00The answer is Boston. Ah.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Boston is the answer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Eggheads have a chance now to take the contest.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Deglutition is the technical term for what very common act?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20You're Linguistics... Deconstruct the word.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I've got an argument for swallowing and an argument for standing up.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Well, gluteus maximus...
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Yeah. Removing oneself from one's glutes would suggest standing up.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29But then... It would suggest standing up.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32..is there anything to do with removing of glutinous...?
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Saliva, I don't know.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Whether degluting ourselves is standing up...
0:26:35 > 0:26:36What about you, Judith?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Degluting? Yeah, so gluteus maximus is your...
0:26:39 > 0:26:40..muscles in your...
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Wouldn't you need your muscles, though, to stand up?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46But you're using different muscles.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I think we can eliminate Scratching, it doesn't sound attractive at all.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Yeah. So it's Swallowing or Standing up.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53The sensible answer is Swallowing, isn't it? Gullet.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Cos standing up is a slightly eccentric, quirky answer.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Course, it could still be correct. Yeah, but I like the degluting.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Yeah... There is that "gluteus".
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I think you need your "glutes" to stand up.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07I think there's a problem with the sort of linguistic...
0:27:07 > 0:27:11processes you would use to get to Standing Up.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Whereas they make more sense if you apply them to Swallowing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I think it might be Swallowing.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20OK. I have a slight preference for Swallowing, although...
0:27:20 > 0:27:22..there is an attractive kind of argument for Standing up.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25What about you, Beth? I would go on the Standing up.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Beth's on Standing up. So... And you, Dave?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30..I would go Swallowing.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32OK. Just on the...
0:27:32 > 0:27:33It seems to slightly...
0:27:33 > 0:27:34I think I'd go Swallowing.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Oh - I've been completely overruled again!
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Beth, are you happy if we go for Swallowing? Of course I am.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Well... Yeah. We're struggling between
0:27:42 > 0:27:44quite a nice, quirky answer,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46and what looks like a more straightforward,
0:27:46 > 0:27:47more boring answer.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49But we're going to go for Swallowing.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Swallowing. So again, just a little bit of a tangle there.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56If it is Swallowing, you've got the answer right, the contest is over.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00The answer is Swallowing.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Ooh, they were in a tangle today!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13They were. You could have caught them there.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Yes. Just one of those things.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16It's the Boston answer.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Commiserations, Thoroughbreds, sorry to see you lose today,
0:28:19 > 0:28:23the Eggheads have JUST about done their thing today,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25they do reign supreme over quiz land still.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28It means you won't be going home with the ?3,000 so the money rolls
0:28:28 > 0:28:29over to our next show.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Eggheads, well done.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:34 > 0:28:37to defeat the Eggheads. There's going to be ?4,000 to play for.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39They are building up a run, aren't they?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Until next time - goodbye.
