0:00:06 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads -
0:00:13 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20The question is...
0:00:20 > 0:00:22..can they be beaten?
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against
0:00:29 > 0:00:32possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Well, taking on the awesome quiz champions today are
0:00:36 > 0:00:40The Marymass Mob. Now, this team share a passion for folk music
0:00:40 > 0:00:44and are all associated with the Irvine Folk Club in North Ayrshire.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45So let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hello, I'm John, I'm a sound engineer.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Kris, I'm also a sound engineer.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Stewart, I'm a retired operations engineer.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Fraser, I run my own construction company.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hello, I'm Rab, I'm a songwriter and performer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03So, John and team, hello. Hello. Hello.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04And so much to ask you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Firstly the significance of the name Marymass. John, what's that?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10It's a festival going back to medieval times.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12There's just lots of different events going on
0:01:12 > 0:01:17and a part of the Marymass Festival is a traditional music element.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21And what sort of vibe is there at the Irvine Folk Club?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Very, very vibrant and very varied music going on all the time.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Anyone else want to jump in? We meet once a fortnight... Yeah.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We get varied bands from all over the country.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Who's our biggest folk music fan? Kevin, I reckon you love it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I go to Celtic Connections, for instance. Right.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41So probably the... Here in Glasgow? The big one here in Glasgow, yes.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Always try and go to that.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Now, the awkward question is, do you quiz?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47John? Not as a team.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I mean, I have to say our team has been specifically chosen due to their availability.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53ALL LAUGH
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I thought you were going to say due to their music skills.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57No, just due to their availability.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So you were outside the building earlier, were you? Pretty much.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Are you available on the day? Right. you're in.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Good luck, team. Thank you very much.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Everyday there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:07 > 0:02:10for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12that prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So, Marymass Mob, the Eggheads have won the last four games.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16They're on a bit of a roll
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and that means there's ?5,000 to play for today.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Would you like to start?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Yes, please. I thought so.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29John, you need to choose a player and then you can pick either Judith,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Kevin, Pat, Steve or Dave to go against.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34John? I think it's John.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38OK, I think it's me, that's John, for History. OK, John, the captain.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Who do you think, guys? Take the middle one out.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Take the middle one out. The middle one?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Pat. Oh...
0:02:45 > 0:02:47OK, let's give it a try.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Right, we'll take Pat. Take out the middle one, I like that.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53John from The Marymass Mob versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56And just to ensure there's no conferring, would you please take
0:02:56 > 0:02:58your positions in our legendary Question Room.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, John, History. First or second?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I think I'll go first, please.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09So here we go. What were African-American members
0:03:09 > 0:03:14of the US cavalry, who served in the late 19th century, often called?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I don't think it's Rattlesnake Soldiers.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Coyote Soldiers doesn't sound familiar.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'd say Buffalo Soldiers.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32It's an interesting one. Buffalo Soldiers is right. Well done.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I've realised that that's where Bob Marley gets the song from.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Yes. Is that right? I think so.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38OK, so, well done, John.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Buffalo Soldiers is quite right.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Pat.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Which country's Navy was formally known as the Kriegsmarine?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I think that's, er...
0:03:51 > 0:03:52That's Germany.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Yep. Germany's the right answer.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58OK, John, your question.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01By what name was the notorious 18th-century pirate
0:04:01 > 0:04:03John Rackham better known?
0:04:08 > 0:04:13I don't think it was Blackbeard because that was Teach, I think.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17So it's either Captain Kidd or Calico Jack.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I think I'll have to go with Calico Jack.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25These all feel like they're kind of folk song material, don't they?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28In a strange way. They do.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29I'm feeling this is going our way.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Calico Jack is quite right.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Two out of two, John, well done.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Here's your question, Pat.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36The Siege of Lucknow,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38in which forces of the East India Company
0:04:38 > 0:04:40fought against Indian rebels,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42took place in which century?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I presume it's part of the...
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Is it part of the Indian Mutiny?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Siege of Lucknow.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Well, it's not the 17th.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57So it's the 18th or the 19th.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Now, the Indian mutiny was sort of well into the British administration
0:05:03 > 0:05:08of India. It was an eruption in the midst of business as usual.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12And all the more alarming to the powers that be for that reason.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I think I'll have to say the 19th century.
0:05:17 > 0:05:1919th century is your answer.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21For some reason I thought you would do this one in your sleep, but it
0:05:21 > 0:05:23caused you a bit of trouble. Let's see.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Eggheads, do we know more exactly?
0:05:25 > 0:05:271857. 1857 now.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Pat, you're right! 19th century.
0:05:29 > 0:05:322-2 after two questions.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Couldn't be closer, John. Yep.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I'm hoping for a folk-related question now.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42In around 330 BC, Alexander The Great
0:05:42 > 0:05:46ordered The Royal Palace in which of these cities to be burnt down?
0:05:50 > 0:05:55It's not an area of history that's my strong point at all.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I'm going to go with Constantinople.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Constantinople is your answer, but the answer is Persepolis.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Ah.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So it gives Pat a chance.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Pat, the Borghese family, prominent in 17th-century Rome,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14moved there from which other city?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Well, in terms of proximity there's not a great deal to choose.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24They're all 50 to 100 miles away from Rome.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27150 perhaps.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30The Borgheses.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Yep. I can't remember anything about their existence prior to Rome.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38So I will just pick at random.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39I'll say Siena.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Siena's correct. Oh!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Ah, they do that, don't they, these Eggheads?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46They're good guessers. Pat, you're in the final round.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Sorry, John, knocked out. That can happen on the third question. OK.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's early days. Return to your teams, please, and we'll play Round Two.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57All right, The Marymass Mob have lost a brain.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Do we say lost a guitar?
0:06:59 > 0:07:00You could.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Lost a string. Lost a string. Lost a string, all right!
0:07:03 > 0:07:07You can have at least one string in the final but let's hope for more.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09The Eggheads are all still sitting there.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11The next subject is Arts Books.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13You're all artists, come on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16This is good, isn't it? This is not me.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19No, it's not me. OK, I'll have a go.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Right, before you go, choose an Egghead. Anyone but Pat.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23I'll try Dave.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28So it's Rab from Marymass Mob versus Dave from the Egghead mob.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Please go to the famous Question Room.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Rab, you're a songwriter and performer?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Yes, I am, Jeremy.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38And play mainly the guitar? Mainly guitar, yes.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I dabble in a couple of other bits but it's mostly guitar
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and mostly guitar as the writing implement as well.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46You've worked with Ringo Starr on his label?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I was on Ringo's label back in the late '70s
0:07:49 > 0:07:52and in 1978 made an album,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56and we used the studios at Tittenhurst Park.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59That was the house that John and Yoko had lived in,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01down near Ascot, Sunningdale.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I think there was film of John Lennon sort of recording
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Imagine and everything else in there. Yes, that's there, yes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Is that right, Rab? Is that where he did Imagine?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12That's right. They still had that big room with the wooden shutters
0:08:12 > 0:08:15and Yoko's This Is Not Here above the front door and all that kind of stuff.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Oh, wow! And that's where they therefore did the video for Imagine?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20That's right, the whole thing.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Brilliant. You're playing Dave here on Arts Books.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I'm thinking, Rab, they've chosen the right player because this will be up your street.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I hope so. I hope so. Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Here we go. What does Henry V call his troops in the Shakespeare play
0:08:37 > 0:08:39of the same name?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Swathe Of Siblings, a lovely alliteration, isn't it?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49But it doesn't ring a bell.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Crowd Of Kinsman, I'm tempted to that.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59But I think that's the origin of the phrase which has had other lives.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Band Of Brothers. I think it's Band Of Brothers.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Yeah, powerful phrase, you're quite right.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Band Of Brothers, it was Shakespeare who coined it. Well done, Rab.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Dave, which fictional detective is depicted
0:09:09 > 0:09:12by his creator in two later works
0:09:12 > 0:09:17as having retired and taken up beekeeping on the Sussex Downs?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27I'm going to have to go Sherlock Holmes, but I'm not totally sure.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I love Sherlock Holmes. I wouldn't have been able to answer this.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It's obviously not Hercule Poirot.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35But you're right, David, it's Sherlock Holmes.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Rab, your second question.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43Not Dead Yet is the title of a 2016 autobiography by which musician?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I don't think it's Iggy Pop.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Nor I think is it Eric Clapton.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02I'm coming down the middle there to Phil Collins.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I think it's Phil.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Phil Collins is right.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08He relaunched really in 2016, got a lot of attention, wrote a book.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Dave, on which subject has author
0:10:10 > 0:10:14and presenter Suzannah Lipscomb published several books?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I've not heard of her in politics. I could be very wrong here.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Fashion, I've got a blank spot for.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I'm going to go with history, please.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I always think, if you don't know, choose fashion.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31In this case it would've led you astray. It is history, Dave.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33History's right. OK.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Now, get this right, put some pressure
0:10:35 > 0:10:38on tremendous knowledge Dave. Rab, your third question.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40"A screaming comes across the sky,"
0:10:40 > 0:10:43is the first line of which novel by Thomas Pynchon?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Thomas Pynchon.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57I'm reaching out for this with a bit of possible connection.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I'm going to call it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'll go for Gravity's Rainbow.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04And you're right. It is Gravity's Rainbow. Well done.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Ah, Dave. Yes?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10That looks a bit interesting now!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It does. Can you hold your place in the contest? Let's see.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17What was the name of the radical literary group in San Francisco
0:11:17 > 0:11:19to which Jack London belonged?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Right, I've got no inkling on it.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Let me just have a think.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35No. I think Rab's going to have to write a lamentation for me.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Could be The Group.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Seeing as it's been mentioned in the question.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Got The Crowd or The Gang.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's 50-50.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52I'm going to go with The Crowd and as I say, take my, take my beating.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Eggheads, do you know? Favour that one but don't know it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Favourite. It's a difficult question.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58The Crowd is the right answer.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Unbelievable!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Sorry.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06My apologies. As they said in the Premiership once, Dave,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09the team that wins the Premier League is the one that's gone around
0:12:09 > 0:12:12the country perpetrating injustices at every stadium.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Yep.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15And so it is with quizzing.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17So we go to Sudden Death, Rab.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21OK. Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives. Sure.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26The 2016 novel Rather Be The Devil is a murder mystery by which
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Scottish crime novelist?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Possibly either Christopher Brookmyre or Ian Rankin.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I know Ian has a penchant for song titles.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39So I'm going to go Ian Rankin.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Ian Rankin is the right answer. Thank you.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Rather Be The Devil by Ian Rankin, well done.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Sudden Death, Dave, back to you.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46This to stay in.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Which UK fitness coach has published a series of books
0:12:49 > 0:12:52entitled Lean In 15?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Nah, I'm going to be...
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'm in trouble here because I can't think of any.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Modern person.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Fitness coach.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Lean In 15.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Dana Moran.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10You've got Busylizzy.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15You've got Mr Motivator, Derrick Evans, he did sell a lot of books.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I don't know. I can't even get a timescale on it,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22so I'm going to go Derrick Evans, Mr Motivator.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Dave, right. We're going a bit retro here.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Yes. We'll be going back to the '80s. Yes, why not.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30It's Joe Wicks. You've been knocked out. I would never have got that.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Well done, Rab, you're in the final round.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Thank you. OK, the guitar string is unbroken.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39You've taken on an Egghead and you've emerged triumphant.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Please return to us and we'll play on.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45As it stands, The Marymass Mob have pulled it back here thanks to Rab.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48So they have lost a brain from the final round,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50but the Eggheads have lost one too now.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Let's see where we go. We're on Sport.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Who would like Sport?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56That's yours. I've kicked a ball.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58THEY CHUCKLE
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Fraser's kicked a ball, so I think Fraser's...
0:14:01 > 0:14:04You have kicked a ball. Yeah, he's kicked a ball.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Fraser, any Eggheads you want to take on?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09You haven't got Pat or Dave, you've got Steve in between them,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11or on my side Kevin or Judith.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Now, I think I'm going to be...
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I'm going to try Judith, I think.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Why not? Fraser, from The Marymass Mob, versus Judith.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21To ensure no conferring, please take your positions.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24We're on Sport.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Is that your thing, Fraser?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28In comparison with the rest of the team, yes.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I do... I think I'm the only one who actually plays any sport,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34so that's why I've been thrown into this.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37OK, well, good luck, and would you like to go first or second?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I will go first, thank you.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Fraser, here's your first question.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Who became the number one ranked tennis player in the world
0:14:46 > 0:14:50for the first time in his career in 2016?
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Well, that should be easy for me.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00If I've got this correct,
0:15:00 > 0:15:05his home is only about 20 miles from where I live, and he's a Scot,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08and it's got to be Andy Murray.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Absolutely right, well done to him.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Andy, or Sir Andy Murray.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13OK, Judith, how often
0:15:13 > 0:15:16are the Commonwealth Games held?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Judith...
0:15:19 > 0:15:23I wonder if they're like the Olympics and held every four years.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I think, I mean, it's quite a big event, that, isn't it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30And the organisation must be very expensive and everything.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I think I'm going to say every four years.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Every four years is correct. Mmm.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Fraser. In which country are the champions
0:15:37 > 0:15:42of the top division in football said to have won the Scudetto?
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Is it...
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I am going to go on this one for Italy.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Yeah, it sounds... It does sound more like an Italian word.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Italy's right. It means "little shield".
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Little shield, OK.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Judith, your question.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02What name is sometimes given to the area of the treble 20 in darts?
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Is it the...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well, it's around something, I suppose.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Which sort of implies an eye.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20So I think the likelihood is rather than blush or lipstick,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23it would be mascara. Dave will know this.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26How can I put it? It's like a little rectangle,
0:16:26 > 0:16:27rectangular type of thing.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It's the redness, which means it's the lipstick.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Lipstick is the answer, Judith.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Oh. OK, so this is good now.
0:16:36 > 0:16:432017 marks the 100th edition of which of cycling's grand tour races?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45The 100th edition of...
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Well, I had Italy in the last one,
0:16:54 > 0:16:55so I'm not going to try that.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Should I go for the obvious and try
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Tour de France? Tour de France.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Eggheads?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13It's not that. I would have gone with Giro d'Italia but...
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It is the Giro d'Italia.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Oh! You've had two Italys there.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I thought that was too obvious.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Judith, get this right, you're still in it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Get it wrong, the sin bin.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29In which sport has Indian sportswoman Mithali Raj
0:17:29 > 0:17:31captained her national team?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I have absolutely no idea.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43I think India is so keen on cricket, so I'm going to say cricket,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46without any knowledge about it at all.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Cricket is the right answer. Oh!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So two each after three questions. Fraser, we go to Sudden Death.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Fraser, what word meaning to obtain something on loan
0:17:57 > 0:17:59is also a golfing term
0:17:59 > 0:18:03for the deviation of the ball from a straight line on the green?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06That's a borrow.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Borrow is the right answer. Thank you. Well done.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Judith.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13To stay in the contest.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Whom did Muhammad Ali fight in his comeback bout in 1970
0:18:18 > 0:18:21after having been out of the sport for three years?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26I don't know. I'm terribly bad about boxers.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Carl Foreman.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Carl Foreman. When you say Carl, it's George Foreman, isn't it?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Oh, George Foreman. Yeah, so....
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I can tell you it's not Carl Foreman, Judith. Yeah.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Eggs, Dave?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39George Chuvalo? No. Jimmy Ellis? No.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Jerry... Quarry. Jerry Quarry.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45I would never have got that. Jerry Quarry, that's a bit of a stinker.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Fraser, it doesn't matter, you've won the round, well done! Thank you very much, thank you.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Well done on Sudden Death.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It's not easy to get through those Sudden Death questions on Sport.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Please return to us. One more round to go.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Right, The Marymass Mob have lost a brain from the final round.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The Eggheads are having one of those days, aren't you,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05where the ground is shaking a little bit?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08The next subject for you is Music.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It's looking even better.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12That's not me. I suppose I'll have to do that.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14OK, Kris, our sound engineer.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17So you can have either Kevin or Steve.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I'll take Steve, please. Very good.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22OK, so Kris from Marymass Mob versus Steve from the Eggheads.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25And for the last time, gentlemen, go to the Question Room.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30OK, Music. Kris, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:30 > 0:19:31I'll go first, please.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Good luck. Which singer's version of White Christmas is often said to be
0:19:37 > 0:19:39the best-selling single of all time?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I would have to say that was probably Bing Crosby.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Bing Crosby's right.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Steve.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54"Music can be such a revelation, dancing around,
0:19:54 > 0:19:55"you feel the sweet sensation"
0:19:55 > 0:20:00are lines from which 1985 UK hit for Madonna?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Into The Groove, Jeremy. Yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Kris, your question.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Which band achieved their first UK number one album
0:20:11 > 0:20:15for 14 years with Voodoo Lounge in 1994.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24The Kinks haven't been that late, I don't think.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the Rolling Stones.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Yeah, Rolling Stones in the right answer.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Steve, which of these Italian composers
0:20:32 > 0:20:34was born in the Republic of Venice?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Right. Again, I'm not entirely sure,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47but the one I think I associate with Venice is Vivaldi,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49so that is my answer.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Antonio Vivaldi is the right answer.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54OK, Kris, your question.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Chicha is a subgenre of Latin American music
0:20:58 > 0:21:00that originated in which country?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I have absolutely no idea of any Peruvian music,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09apart from the panpipes.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Brazil's best known for the salsa, and stuff like that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Chicha.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I'll go Peru. Yes, you've got it right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It is Peru. Well done, Kris.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26OK, a bit of pressure on Steve here.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28The pop band Lukas Graham was formed in which country?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36I'm pretty sure that they're Danish, so I'll say Denmark.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Yes, you've got it right, Denmark it is.
0:21:38 > 0:21:403-3, Sudden Death.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Kris, I don't give you alternatives.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Thinking Out Loud was a 2014 UK number one single
0:21:47 > 0:21:49for which singer-songwriter?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53This is where I come unstuck.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I don't really know much in the way of more modern music.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I can't think.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'll have to pass, I can't think of any.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Nothing? Nothing at all, no.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I thought he'd be up your street.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08He's a guitar man.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Ed Sheeran.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13OK, you have a chance to take the round with this, Steve.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18In which decade was the pop music magazine Smash Hits first published?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21All right, I know Neil Tennant famously wrote for it.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I certainly read it in the '80s,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26but I think that it'd been around before then, so...
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I'm going to... Hopefully, a semi-educated guess
0:22:31 > 0:22:33and say the 1970s.
0:22:33 > 0:22:371970s is right. 1978 in fact.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Well done, you've taken it on Sudden Death. You're in the final round.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Kris, sorry, you've been knocked out. Come back to us, both of you,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45rejoin your teams and we will play the final for ?5,000!
0:22:47 > 0:22:49This is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52it's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:54 > 0:22:57won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So that's John and Kris from The Marymass Mob
0:23:00 > 0:23:02and Dave and Judith from the Eggheads.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Would you please now leave the studio.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Stewart, Fraser and Rab, you're playing to win The Marymass Mob ?5,000.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Good jackpot today.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Steve, Pat and Kevin, you're playing for the Eggheads' reputation,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18but also just to keep this run going on,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20which I know means an awful lot to you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23As usual, I will ask each team three each questions in turn.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25They're all General Knowledge, gentlemen.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28You can confer. So, Marymass Mob,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31the question is are your three brains better than these three over here?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Have these three been weakened with age?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Stewart, Fraser and Rab, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:37 > 0:23:38We'll go first.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43OK, Stewart and team, here we go.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47General Knowledge. Which of these is a translucent fossil resin,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50often containing prehistoric flora and fauna?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Right. Well, I'm going back to Jurassic Park,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00my memories of... That was the basis of that story, wasn't it?
0:24:00 > 0:24:01And I don't...
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Quartz is not really translucent. No.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Graphite is definitely not. No, no.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10And I can remember the scene in Jurassic Park where they looked at
0:24:10 > 0:24:13something or other - was it a mosquito or something?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16So I think it's amber.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18It's clear, is it? It's orange.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Translucent. It's an orange colour but you can see through it.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I think it's amber. Are you sure about that?
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Well, I'm not sure...
0:24:24 > 0:24:26We say amber.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29I like that you got the answer from a Spielberg movie. Why not?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Amber's right. Thank you.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Well done.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Here we go, Eggheads.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Complete the saying attributed to Theodore Roosevelt,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40"Speak softly and carry a..." what?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Happy with big stick? Think so. Mmm.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48It's, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Big stick is the right answer.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I didn't realise that was his.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53All right, Challengers,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56they may get harder. Here we go.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Evan Spiegel is the founder of which mobile phone app?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08I don't know. I don't do social media, so I don't know.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I do bits, but I don't... Evan Spiegel?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Evan... Spiegel.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Do you know, there was something...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Is this the guy that sold it for a... Could well be.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20..a fortune? They all sell it for fortunes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Any ideas which one?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I don't know Snapchat, so that wouldn't...
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Twitter... I've not tried Snapchat.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I don't have accounts with any of them, so...
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Erm...
0:25:30 > 0:25:34It's not a name I recognise from any of the...
0:25:34 > 0:25:35..comments that are coming through.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38If it was Twitter, you would know it, wouldn't you? Aye.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I've a feeling it's Instagram. I've got a feeling...
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Are we going for Instagram? Yeah. That sounds a good idea.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Instagram.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48So you don't do social media.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50No. I think they probably all have, you know,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52come out of nothing and are worth a lot.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Yeah. The answer is Snapchat.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Snapchat. OK.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57OK, Eggheads.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01The airport of Brindisi is located within which Italian region?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06It's on the Adriatic.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Yeah, it is, yeah. It's right down in the, erm...
0:26:09 > 0:26:11in the heel of Italy.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14It's poking away from the Adriatic.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Yeah, yeah. No, it's erm...
0:26:16 > 0:26:19So you've got the heel coming down like that.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Brindisi is right down to... Not quite down to the very end,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24but it's right down there. So it's Puglia.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Yeah. That is Puglia.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Puglia is quite right, Eggheads.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31They've taken the lead.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34OK. That's only disastrous if you get this one wrong.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Right.
0:26:35 > 0:26:41Native to Asia, and now an invasive pest in the USA,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44what type of creature is the snakehead?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52I think it's going to be a fish. I think it is as well.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I'm dragging things up that sort of...
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I remember it being a fish.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59If it came from Asia, it could have come from anywhere.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01It can fly in... Yes. OK.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Try that. Yeah. A fish, please.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Right. What is this, Eggheads?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Fish. Fish is right. Oh!
0:27:09 > 0:27:12From the way you were going, I thought we were...
0:27:12 > 0:27:16OK. So two each, but the Eggheads have a question in hand.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18You can take the contest with this.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21What are the colours on the flag of Thailand?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Red, white and blue. Yeah, it's stripy. Mmm.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's a... Well, it's a sort of, erm...
0:27:32 > 0:27:33You've got three coloured stripes
0:27:33 > 0:27:36with a couple of white bands in between.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38So it's erm... Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40There's no yellow, there's no green. No.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Red, white and blue? Yeah. Very happy.
