These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:050:00:08

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:100:00:12

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:120:00:15

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:180:00:20

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers

0:00:240:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.

0:00:270:00:30

They are the Eggheads.

0:00:300:00:32

Well, challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today

0:00:320:00:34

are the Barrycudas from the Vale of Glamorgan.

0:00:340:00:37

The majority of this friends and family team quiz together

0:00:370:00:40

at the Cwm Talwg Pub in Barry. Let's meet them.

0:00:400:00:44

Hello, I'm Huw and I'm a cancer research technician.

0:00:440:00:47

Hello, I'm Iain and I'm a civil servant.

0:00:470:00:49

Hello, I'm Claire and I'm also a civil servant.

0:00:490:00:52

Hello, I'm Craig.

0:00:520:00:53

I'm a marketing manager.

0:00:530:00:55

Hi, I'm Kay and I'm an accountant.

0:00:550:00:57

Huw and team, hello.

0:00:570:00:59

ALL: Hello. Great to see you.

0:00:590:01:01

And it's Barry and Barry Island and all that famous area, yes?

0:01:010:01:04

That's right. Gavin Stacey territory.

0:01:040:01:06

Tell us about the pub where you quiz.

0:01:060:01:08

It's a local pub to those of us who live in Barry.

0:01:080:01:11

We've been quizzing there for a little while now.

0:01:110:01:14

There's a league going on which we're not at the top of,

0:01:140:01:17

I have be honest,

0:01:170:01:18

but we win sometimes and we all enjoy going there.

0:01:180:01:20

So you're normally a team in the pub.

0:01:200:01:23

You're not the creme de la creme here.

0:01:230:01:25

You are a particular... Because that's good for us, actually.

0:01:250:01:28

You come and you play together and you...

0:01:280:01:30

Yeah, we know each other's strengths and weaknesses, hopefully,

0:01:300:01:32

and we have a range of interests,

0:01:320:01:34

so we'll see how we get on, but we think we cover most of the subjects

0:01:340:01:37

reasonably well. And what's the prize in the pub, by the way?

0:01:370:01:41

It's a food voucher.

0:01:410:01:43

OK. Suits me down to the ground.

0:01:430:01:45

Good luck, team.

0:01:450:01:46

Every day there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:01:460:01:48

for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:480:01:51

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:510:01:54

It's a little bit more than a food voucher today, Barrycudas.

0:01:540:01:57

The Eggheads have won the last five. You've got to stop them.

0:01:570:02:01

If you do, it's ?6,000 that you win.

0:02:010:02:03

OK? That'll do.

0:02:030:02:05

The first head-to-head battle for you is on the subject of science.

0:02:050:02:08

Now, you've got Judith, Kevin, Dave,

0:02:080:02:11

Beth and Lisa to choose from.

0:02:110:02:13

That's one of you two down the end, I think, is it?

0:02:130:02:15

Yes. You up for it? Will I take science?

0:02:150:02:17

Go for it.

0:02:170:02:18

OK, who would you like to take on here?

0:02:180:02:19

You can have anyone of the five.

0:02:190:02:21

I would love to take on Judith, please.

0:02:210:02:22

Of course you can.

0:02:220:02:24

Kay from the Barrycudas versus Judith from the Eggheads on science.

0:02:240:02:27

To ensure there is no conferring,

0:02:270:02:29

please take your positions in the question room.

0:02:290:02:32

Well, Kay, I know you're an accountant,

0:02:330:02:35

but you have a chemistry degree.

0:02:350:02:37

I've got a chemistry PhD, yes.

0:02:370:02:39

And you're a quizzer too, so we're set fair.

0:02:390:02:41

Do you want to go first or second, Kay?

0:02:410:02:43

It's got to be ladies first, so I'll let Judith go first.

0:02:430:02:46

Judith, here is your question.

0:02:500:02:52

Which of these planets has the smallest diameter?

0:02:520:02:54

I think that's Mercury.

0:02:580:03:00

It is Mercury.

0:03:000:03:01

Yes, I think that's the smallest of the lot.

0:03:010:03:04

Over to you now, Kay.

0:03:040:03:06

Albert Einstein was born in which country?

0:03:060:03:08

This is the sort of question you feel you really ought to know.

0:03:130:03:17

I think we can rule out Australia, because I'm sure he was European.

0:03:170:03:20

I'm going to go for Germany.

0:03:220:03:24

Germany is right and of course he left and ended up in America,

0:03:240:03:27

you're right. Judith.

0:03:270:03:29

What is the symbol for the chemical element potassium?

0:03:290:03:32

Well, I know that from gardening, because you put potassium on plants.

0:03:370:03:42

It's K.

0:03:420:03:44

K is right. And here we are back with you, Kay.

0:03:440:03:46

Here's your question.

0:03:460:03:47

The helix and the antihelix are found

0:03:470:03:50

in which part of the human body?

0:03:500:03:51

Ooh. Well, the helix and the antihelix.

0:03:540:03:58

That doesn't resonate with me in any way.

0:03:580:04:02

There's not a lot going on in the foot other than bones,

0:04:030:04:07

and it doesn't sound related to that,

0:04:070:04:09

so I'm going to rule out foot.

0:04:090:04:11

The stomach's just a bag of acid, isn't it?

0:04:120:04:15

So I'm going to go veer towards the ear and keep everything crossed.

0:04:150:04:20

Ear, please, Jeremy.

0:04:200:04:22

Ear is right. Phew.

0:04:220:04:23

Judith, your question.

0:04:250:04:26

The Franciscana is an alternative common name

0:04:260:04:29

for which South American creature?

0:04:290:04:31

Francis... Franciscana? Franciscana.

0:04:370:04:40

Well, a boa constrictor is a sort of python,

0:04:400:04:43

which constructs you and squeezes you.

0:04:430:04:46

A giant anteater's just a giant anteater.

0:04:460:04:49

I don't know why, but instinct, and it's purely instinct, I don't know,

0:04:490:04:54

is taking me to the river dolphin.

0:04:540:04:58

The La Plata river dolphin is your answer.

0:04:580:05:00

Yes. It's correct.

0:05:000:05:01

So she's got three out of three there.

0:05:030:05:05

A bit of guesswork, but she got there.

0:05:050:05:07

Kay, you need to get this one right to stay in.

0:05:070:05:10

The German scientist Ida Noddack is often said to be the first person

0:05:100:05:14

to propose the idea of which process?

0:05:140:05:17

Hmm.

0:05:230:05:25

The fact that it's a German scientist...

0:05:250:05:30

is leaning me towards nuclear fission.

0:05:300:05:33

I know absolutely nothing about continental drift

0:05:340:05:38

or superconductivity.

0:05:380:05:39

I think I'm going to have to go for nuclear fission

0:05:400:05:43

because of the German connection.

0:05:430:05:45

Nuclear fission is correct.

0:05:450:05:47

You're playing well, too. Three out of three for you both.

0:05:470:05:50

We go to sudden death.

0:05:500:05:51

It gets a bit harder, Judith.

0:05:510:05:52

I don't give you alternatives.

0:05:520:05:54

As you well know.

0:05:540:05:56

You've been here before.

0:05:560:05:57

What name did Nasa give to the first space shuttle orbiter

0:05:570:06:02

which underwent tests in 1977 but never flew in space?

0:06:020:06:06

I've no idea.

0:06:070:06:08

I don't know. Mariner.

0:06:100:06:12

The answer is Enterprise.

0:06:120:06:13

Here we are. Sudden death. Kay, your question.

0:06:150:06:17

What name inspired by a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University

0:06:170:06:21

is given to the radiation that is theoretically emitted

0:06:210:06:25

from just outside the event horizon of a black hole?

0:06:250:06:29

Hawking radiation.

0:06:310:06:33

You're right, you're through.

0:06:330:06:35

Oh! Well done. Hawking radiation it is.

0:06:350:06:36

Judith's been knocked out. Please rejoin your teams.

0:06:360:06:39

OK, as it stands, the Barrycudas have not lost any brains

0:06:400:06:43

from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one.

0:06:430:06:46

We play on, and it's geography.

0:06:460:06:47

Who would like this?

0:06:470:06:48

Will I take it?

0:06:500:06:52

I'll take this. Craig, marketing manager, against which Egghead?

0:06:520:06:56

Anyone but Judith, Craig.

0:06:560:06:58

I'll go with Dave. Very good.

0:06:580:07:00

It's going to be Craig from the Barrycudas

0:07:000:07:02

playing Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.

0:07:020:07:04

To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the question room.

0:07:040:07:07

Geography, Craig, would you like to go first or second?

0:07:090:07:12

I'll go second, please.

0:07:120:07:12

Dave, your question. The CN Tower is a feature of which city's skyline?

0:07:150:07:19

I thought you said Sien Tower then.

0:07:220:07:24

CN. CN, two letters.

0:07:240:07:27

Charlie November. Toronto.

0:07:270:07:29

Toronto's correct.

0:07:290:07:31

Craig. In which Australian state

0:07:310:07:33

is the city and seaport of Cairns located?

0:07:330:07:36

I haven't been to Australia

0:07:400:07:41

and it's not the best place for me for geography.

0:07:410:07:44

I don't know why,

0:07:440:07:45

but perhaps it's just because it's got Wales in the title

0:07:450:07:48

and I'm a Welshman, I'm going to say New South Wales.

0:07:480:07:50

Let's see, Dave will know. Dave?

0:07:500:07:52

Yeah, I've been done by Cairns before in this quiz.

0:07:520:07:54

It's Queensland. Queensland is correct.

0:07:540:07:58

Dave, the island of Eigg is part of which of the four nations

0:07:580:08:02

that make up the United Kingdom?

0:08:020:08:04

Scotland.

0:08:070:08:08

Scotland is right.

0:08:080:08:10

Craig, onto you to catch up.

0:08:100:08:12

Telluride is a popular ski resort in which US state?

0:08:120:08:15

I'm drawn towards Colorado on the basis it's very mountainous

0:08:200:08:23

and I can imagine there being some great skiing there.

0:08:230:08:26

Whilst I've been to California, I haven't been to all of it,

0:08:260:08:28

but it seems unlikely to be California, given it's quite warm.

0:08:280:08:32

I think I've heard of it and I don't think I know much about Alaska,

0:08:320:08:35

so I'm going to go Colorado.

0:08:350:08:36

You're absolutely right. Well done. Colorado it is.

0:08:360:08:38

Dave, your question. And you can take it with this.

0:08:390:08:43

Which of these cities is the national capital of Greenland?

0:08:430:08:46

Right, in my language, or Dave's old, old language,

0:08:500:08:53

it used to be Godthab.

0:08:530:08:56

But the only one that I've heard of, modern times, is Nuuk,

0:08:560:09:01

so that's my answer. Nuuk.

0:09:010:09:03

Nuuk is your answer. Craig, you're nodding.

0:09:030:09:05

I think it's right, yes. Yes, you've got it right there.

0:09:050:09:07

Because Dave went first, there's no way back for you, Craig, sorry,

0:09:070:09:10

beaten by our Egghead. Dave will be in the final.

0:09:100:09:12

Return to us, please, and let's see what's happening with the scores.

0:09:120:09:15

So, as it stands, the Barrycudas have lost a brain now

0:09:170:09:20

from the final round. Sorry, Craig.

0:09:200:09:23

The Eggheads have lost Judith.

0:09:230:09:25

So, level going into round three.

0:09:250:09:27

And it is film and TV.

0:09:270:09:29

Who would like this?

0:09:290:09:30

THEY LAUGH

0:09:300:09:31

Claire, is that you?

0:09:310:09:32

OK. Against which Egghead?

0:09:320:09:34

It can't be Dave or Judith.

0:09:340:09:36

OK. I think I'll go for Beth.

0:09:360:09:38

Very good. So it's going to be Claire from the Barrycudas

0:09:380:09:40

taking on Beth on film and TV from the Eggheads.

0:09:400:09:43

Please go to our question room now.

0:09:430:09:45

Claire, I know you love cinema.

0:09:460:09:47

I do, yes. And you're doing something to have a look at the

0:09:470:09:50

Oscar-nominated films, is that right?

0:09:500:09:52

I do it every single year, yes.

0:09:520:09:53

I try and predict what I think is going to be nominated.

0:09:530:09:57

So you might watch, what, a dozen films in a burst?

0:09:570:10:01

Possibly, yes.

0:10:010:10:02

Certainly from Christmas onwards until the Oscars,

0:10:020:10:06

I'll be watching, well, a good 20 at least.

0:10:060:10:10

And do you find that you're able to work out

0:10:100:10:12

who's going to get Best Actor, who's going to get Best Film,

0:10:120:10:14

who's going to get Best Director?

0:10:140:10:16

Normally, I'm pretty good at working out who I think's going to win, yes.

0:10:160:10:20

Good luck. Film and TV against Beth.

0:10:200:10:22

Would you like to go first or second?

0:10:220:10:23

I'll go first, please.

0:10:230:10:24

Here we go with your question. Good luck, Claire.

0:10:280:10:31

K9 the robot dog appeared in which popular children's TV series

0:10:310:10:36

in the 1970s?

0:10:360:10:37

I know the answer to this.

0:10:410:10:43

I'm a big fan, especially of the new series.

0:10:430:10:45

It's Doctor Who.

0:10:450:10:46

Doctor Who is correct, well done.

0:10:460:10:48

Beth, who played the role of Maureen Webster

0:10:490:10:51

in Coronation Street?

0:10:510:10:52

My namesake. Well, not Maureen.

0:10:570:10:58

It certainly wasn't Julie Goodyear.

0:11:010:11:03

That's that Bet Gilroy, I think.

0:11:030:11:05

Michelle Keegan, I can't think of her name,

0:11:050:11:09

but Maureen I don't think fits with her age.

0:11:090:11:12

It would have to be Sherrie Hewson.

0:11:120:11:14

The correct answer is Sherrie Hewson. Well done.

0:11:140:11:17

Claire, which 2016 film set during World War II stars Brad Pitt

0:11:170:11:21

and Marion Cotillard?

0:11:210:11:24

Well, this was one of the ones that was on my list

0:11:270:11:29

for maybe going to be nominated for an Oscar

0:11:290:11:32

and so I've seen it. It's Allied.

0:11:320:11:35

This is where your film knowledge is coming in very handy.

0:11:350:11:38

Allied is right.

0:11:380:11:39

Beth. The actor Ben Mendelsohn,

0:11:400:11:42

who plays Orson Krennic in Rogue One was born in which country?

0:11:420:11:47

Oh, now, I love all the Star Wars films.

0:11:510:11:56

All of them. I've seen Rogue One.

0:11:560:11:58

He's an exceptional character is Krennic.

0:11:580:12:00

And unfortunately he was putting on an English accent,

0:12:030:12:08

so that doesn't help me.

0:12:080:12:10

I'm erring towards...

0:12:100:12:15

Canada.

0:12:150:12:16

Let's see if the Eggheads know. Lisa, you know.

0:12:160:12:19

I think he's an Australian.

0:12:190:12:20

Australia is the right answer.

0:12:200:12:22

Australia.

0:12:220:12:24

OK. This is looking a bit interesting,

0:12:240:12:26

because if you get this answer right, you're in the final,

0:12:260:12:29

and then maybe the table is just tilting towards our Challengers.

0:12:290:12:33

Who appears as Matt Garth in the 1948 Western Red River

0:12:330:12:38

playing opposite John Wayne?

0:12:380:12:41

Was Matt Garth played by...

0:12:410:12:42

I don't know.

0:12:460:12:48

I've not seen the film.

0:12:480:12:49

Montgomery Clift, I think I've seen in a few other Westerns,

0:12:510:12:57

so based on that I'm going to go for Montgomery Clift.

0:12:570:13:02

You're a really good quizzer, you've got it right.

0:13:020:13:04

Montgomery Clift it is.

0:13:040:13:06

You're in the final round, Claire.

0:13:060:13:08

Sorry, Beth. Knocked out there.

0:13:080:13:10

Come back to us, please, both of you.

0:13:100:13:12

We'll play one more round before the final.

0:13:120:13:14

This is looking a bit interesting now,

0:13:160:13:17

because the Barrycudas are playing really well.

0:13:170:13:19

Well done, Claire. Thank you.

0:13:190:13:21

You've lost a brain from the final round,

0:13:210:13:22

but the Eggheads have lost two brains now.

0:13:220:13:24

Judith and Beth both gone.

0:13:240:13:27

The next subject, the last one before the all-important final,

0:13:270:13:29

is sport. Sport.

0:13:290:13:31

That'll be me, then, I think, will it?

0:13:320:13:34

Yes, definitely. Going to be Iain?

0:13:340:13:36

OK, civil servant against which Egghead?

0:13:360:13:39

You've got basically just Kevin and Lisa left.

0:13:390:13:42

I'll try Kevin, please.

0:13:420:13:44

All right. Going to take on Kevin.

0:13:440:13:45

So, Iain from the Barrycudas versus Kevin from the Eggheads.

0:13:450:13:50

And to ensure there is no conferring,

0:13:500:13:51

would you please take your positions in our question room?

0:13:510:13:55

Good luck on sport, Iain.

0:13:550:13:56

Would you like to go first or second?

0:13:560:13:58

Well, it's just worked for Claire, so I think I'll go first, please.

0:13:580:14:01

So, up against the Grand Master Kevin on sport.

0:14:040:14:06

Here we go, Iain. In which of these sports are you most likely to see

0:14:060:14:10

a drop shot executed?

0:14:100:14:12

A drop shot.

0:14:150:14:16

Well, I'd hope you wouldn't drop anything from a snooker table

0:14:170:14:21

because I think that would be a foul.

0:14:210:14:23

And bowls is played on the ground, so I'll go for tennis, please.

0:14:230:14:27

Tennis is correct.

0:14:270:14:28

Kevin. What is an opening batsman said to have done

0:14:300:14:33

if he or she remains not out

0:14:330:14:34

at the end of a completed innings in cricket?

0:14:340:14:38

They have carried their bat.

0:14:430:14:45

They have carried their bat, you're right.

0:14:450:14:47

Back to you, Iain. Which of these teams competed alongside Australia,

0:14:490:14:52

New Zealand and England in Rugby League's 2016 Four Nations?

0:14:520:14:57

Right, OK.

0:15:010:15:02

I'm more a Union man than a Rugby League man,

0:15:020:15:06

but I think that was Scotland.

0:15:060:15:08

Scotland is right.

0:15:080:15:10

Playing well.

0:15:100:15:12

Kevin, your question. Second question.

0:15:120:15:14

In which sport did Robbie Renwick, who retired in 2016,

0:15:140:15:18

win an Olympic silver medal at the Rio Games?

0:15:180:15:20

I don't immediately recognise the name, I'm afraid.

0:15:260:15:28

So it's either swimming or shooting.

0:15:300:15:32

In terms of the size of the teams,

0:15:340:15:36

I suspect there are more swimmers than shooters, anyway.

0:15:360:15:39

I think, on balance... I don't know it,

0:15:390:15:42

but I think on balance I'm going to go for swimming.

0:15:420:15:44

And you ruled out curling because, why?

0:15:440:15:47

Because curling is in the Winter Olympics

0:15:470:15:49

and that didn't take place in Rio 2016.

0:15:490:15:52

Swimming is the right answer.

0:15:520:15:53

OK, your third question.

0:15:550:15:56

I can see this is a great round we've got here.

0:15:560:15:58

Iain, in 2016,

0:15:580:16:00

Henrikh Mkhitaryan became the first football player

0:16:000:16:03

from which country to score for Manchester United

0:16:030:16:06

in the Premier League?

0:16:060:16:08

Which country?

0:16:080:16:09

Right, OK.

0:16:120:16:14

This was one...

0:16:140:16:16

I was going to say began with A!

0:16:160:16:19

I don't think it's Azerbaijan.

0:16:200:16:22

So it's one of the other two.

0:16:250:16:26

I think...

0:16:280:16:29

..it's Armenia.

0:16:300:16:32

You're very good. Armenia's right.

0:16:320:16:34

Well done. Playing really well.

0:16:340:16:36

Three out of three there, Iain.

0:16:360:16:38

Often that's enough, but let's see.

0:16:380:16:39

You're up against Kevin here.

0:16:390:16:41

Which of these Formula 1 drivers won the Monaco Grand Prix six times?

0:16:410:16:46

Kevin, was it...?

0:16:460:16:47

I wouldn't have thought...

0:16:550:16:57

..given the relatively brief career,

0:16:580:17:00

that Senna would have won it six times.

0:17:000:17:04

So I'll eliminate him.

0:17:050:17:07

For some reason, and it may be that it's a record of a different kind,

0:17:090:17:14

the one I associate most with success in Monaco

0:17:140:17:18

is Graham Hill, really.

0:17:180:17:20

I will say Graham Hill.

0:17:220:17:23

Well, Hill was known as Mr Monaco.

0:17:250:17:28

He won it five.

0:17:280:17:29

Schumacher won it five and Ayrton Senna was the answer -

0:17:290:17:33

he won it six times. Six times.

0:17:330:17:34

I eliminated him. So, you've been knocked out, Kevin.

0:17:340:17:36

Amazing work by you, Iain.

0:17:360:17:38

It doesn't happen very often.

0:17:380:17:40

It's quite an exciting moment for the Challengers here.

0:17:400:17:42

You've taken on an Egghead and you've beaten him.

0:17:420:17:45

Maybe taken on THE Egghead, I should say.

0:17:450:17:48

So, we're set for the final, aren't we?

0:17:480:17:50

Please return to us, both of you.

0:17:500:17:51

So, this is what we've been playing towards.

0:17:530:17:55

It is time for the final round,

0:17:550:17:56

which, as always, is general knowledge.

0:17:560:17:58

But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:17:580:18:01

won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:18:010:18:03

So it is Craig from Barrycudas,

0:18:030:18:05

but it's also Beth, Kevin and Judith from the Eggheads.

0:18:050:18:08

Would you please now leave the studio?

0:18:080:18:10

Huw, Iain, Claire, Kay.

0:18:130:18:14

You're playing for ?6,000.

0:18:140:18:17

Lisa and Dave, you're playing to just somehow hold off

0:18:170:18:21

this amazing advance they've made and keep the Eggheads' run going.

0:18:210:18:25

As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:18:250:18:28

They're all going to be general knowledge.

0:18:280:18:30

You can confer, Challengers.

0:18:300:18:31

So, the question for the Barrycudas is,

0:18:310:18:34

can your four brains defeat these two Eggheads here?

0:18:340:18:38

Would you like to go first or second?

0:18:380:18:40

We'll go first, please.

0:18:400:18:41

OK. Huw and team, good luck.

0:18:440:18:46

According to the proverbial saying, a miss is as good as a what?

0:18:460:18:50

I think it's mile. Mile, yes.

0:18:550:18:56

All happy with mile? Yes.

0:18:560:18:58

OK. Mile.

0:18:580:19:00

A miss is as good as a mile.

0:19:000:19:02

You're quite right.

0:19:020:19:03

Eggheads. What informal term

0:19:030:19:06

means to lower the amount offered to the seller of a property

0:19:060:19:10

just before exchange of contracts?

0:19:100:19:12

It's only gazump I've heard of in terms of...

0:19:160:19:18

Houses. ..houses, so...

0:19:180:19:20

I think we'll go with gazump. Yes.

0:19:200:19:21

That's safe. That's fine.

0:19:210:19:23

That's gazump, Jeremy.

0:19:230:19:24

OK. Let's just go through this.

0:19:240:19:26

When you are selling a house...

0:19:260:19:28

Oh, we didn't listen to the question. You didn't.

0:19:280:19:31

This is about lowering the amount offered

0:19:310:19:33

to the seller of the property... Oh, right. No.

0:19:330:19:36

..just before the exchange of contracts.

0:19:360:19:38

OK, that's new.

0:19:380:19:39

Gazunder. OK. Isn't that interesting? Mm-hm.

0:19:390:19:41

OK. Really couldn't be going any better.

0:19:410:19:44

Barrycudas, your question.

0:19:440:19:46

In 2016, it was announced that a degree-level education

0:19:460:19:49

would be a minimum requirement for entry level

0:19:490:19:53

into which profession in England and Wales from 2020?

0:19:530:19:57

This is police officers, isn't it? That's what I thought.

0:20:020:20:05

Yeah. Are we all happy?

0:20:050:20:06

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah?

0:20:060:20:09

Police officers.

0:20:090:20:10

Police officers is correct.

0:20:110:20:14

Two out of two. You only need one more,

0:20:140:20:16

and you've won ?6,000.

0:20:160:20:17

They can't do anything about it.

0:20:170:20:19

See if you can get a question right, Eggheads.

0:20:190:20:21

Yeah. Which of these Scottish cities has a name

0:20:210:20:24

that derives from words meaning "green hollow"?

0:20:240:20:28

"Edin-burg" - "something borough".

0:20:320:20:35

I don't know, I've got an inkl...

0:20:350:20:37

I'd go for Glasgow, but I've...

0:20:370:20:39

Well, that would have been where I'd have gone.

0:20:390:20:42

Yeah. If we haven't got anything for the other two. Mm.

0:20:420:20:44

Yeah, I'd go Glasgow.

0:20:440:20:46

Yeah, go on, we'll give it a try.

0:20:460:20:47

Go on, then.

0:20:470:20:48

Based on not terribly much other than instinct,

0:20:480:20:52

we're going to try Glasgow.

0:20:520:20:54

Your answer is Glasgow.

0:20:540:20:55

If you've got this wrong, it's over.

0:20:550:20:58

Mm-hm. ?6,000 we're playing for.

0:20:580:21:00

The answer is Glasgow.

0:21:000:21:02

Hah. Well, there's a start.

0:21:020:21:04

All right. Challengers.

0:21:040:21:06

Of which country did Bill English

0:21:060:21:08

become the new Prime Minister in December 2016?

0:21:080:21:12

OK. It's not Canada... It's not Canada.

0:21:160:21:18

..because that's Justin Trudeau. Yes. Oh, yeah, it is, yeah.

0:21:180:21:21

Erm... Australia... I'm not sure if I can...

0:21:210:21:23

..eliminate the other two. ..or New Zealand?

0:21:240:21:28

So, I don't know... Bill English...

0:21:280:21:29

Isn't it Australia?

0:21:290:21:31

Because I'm sure I remember seeing something where I thought,

0:21:310:21:34

"Ooh, how ironic that they want independence..."

0:21:340:21:37

Yeah. "..and yet his name's English."

0:21:370:21:39

Is it something Key is erm...

0:21:390:21:41

Prime Minister of New Zealand, perhaps?

0:21:410:21:44

So, shall we just go for Australia?

0:21:440:21:46

Mm...

0:21:460:21:48

OK. Yeah.

0:21:480:21:50

We don't know the answer - as you can probably tell - but erm...

0:21:500:21:53

we've ruled out Canada, erm...

0:21:530:21:55

and essentially we think we're going to go for Australia.

0:21:550:21:59

Australia is your answer.

0:21:590:22:00

What do you think, Eggheads?

0:22:010:22:03

New Zealand. New Zealand is the answer.

0:22:030:22:05

Oh, no! OK.

0:22:050:22:07

They need to get this right, or you've won ?6,000.

0:22:070:22:10

Eggheads, your third question -

0:22:100:22:13

what name was popularly given to the free schools for poor children

0:22:130:22:17

in Britain such as those opened by Thomas Barnardo in the 19th century?

0:22:170:22:21

I've only ever heard of the ragged schools.

0:22:260:22:28

Same here.

0:22:280:22:30

Got to go ragged schools, haven't we? I think we have.

0:22:300:22:32

I can't make a case for the other two.

0:22:320:22:34

Can't make it. Let's not... Completely...

0:22:340:22:36

Let's not procrastinate.

0:22:360:22:37

Let's not take the paranoia overtake us completely!

0:22:370:22:40

No. No. Not at all.

0:22:400:22:41

Right, OK. Erm...

0:22:410:22:43

We think that's ragged schools, Jeremy.

0:22:430:22:45

Ragged schools is your answer.

0:22:450:22:46

If you've got it wrong, they've won ?6,000.

0:22:460:22:49

The correct answer is ragged schools.

0:22:490:22:52

You're back on track, Eggheads.

0:22:520:22:54

Ho-ho, what a let-off!

0:22:540:22:56

Now, will that be an expensive let-off you gave them?

0:22:570:23:00

We go to sudden death now.

0:23:000:23:01

Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.

0:23:010:23:04

Here's your first question.

0:23:040:23:05

Which DJ replaced Chris Moyles

0:23:050:23:08

as the host of Radio 1's Breakfast Show in 2012?

0:23:080:23:12

Is that Nick Grimshaw?

0:23:120:23:13

What do you think the answer is? Nick Grimshaw.

0:23:130:23:15

OK. That's what came into my mind, but I don't listen to Radio 1, so...

0:23:150:23:18

No. I do. Nick Grimshaw?

0:23:180:23:20

Yeah. We're going to go for Nick Grimshaw.

0:23:200:23:23

Nick Grimshaw is correct.

0:23:230:23:25

Well done. Well done.

0:23:250:23:27

Eggheads.

0:23:270:23:29

Sudden death. In September 2016,

0:23:290:23:32

the Royal Mail issued a set of stamps

0:23:320:23:35

commemorating the books of which writer,

0:23:350:23:37

whose first crime novel had been written 100 years before?

0:23:370:23:42

I would have gone Agatha.

0:23:420:23:44

Let's have a think, she died in '76, didn't she?

0:23:450:23:48

I'm for going for her. Because she wrote 60-odd novels, didn't she?

0:23:490:23:52

So... That's one a year. Yeah.

0:23:520:23:54

Knocking 'em out. I'm for that if you're for that...

0:23:540:23:57

Yeah. As I said, she died...

0:23:570:23:59

She was in her 80s when she died, so...

0:23:590:24:01

I think we've got to go Agatha Christie...

0:24:010:24:03

All right. ..but it's no means certain.

0:24:030:24:05

No. But I think there's...

0:24:050:24:06

There's case there for it, we'll give it a try. OK. Right.

0:24:060:24:09

OK... Some deliberation later, we'll go for Agatha Christie.

0:24:090:24:13

Agatha Christie's right.

0:24:150:24:16

Sudden death.

0:24:190:24:21

Feeling tense?

0:24:210:24:22

A little!

0:24:220:24:23

What system of physical exercises, invented by Callan Pinckney,

0:24:230:24:29

was the subject of a book published in 1984

0:24:290:24:32

subtitled 10 Years Younger In 10 Hours?

0:24:320:24:37

Callanetics? Can you spell Callan?

0:24:370:24:39

C-A-L-L-A-N.

0:24:390:24:40

Yeah, it is, it's Callan.

0:24:400:24:42

But whether it's Callanetics...

0:24:420:24:43

It is. ..or Callan... Or Calla-matics.

0:24:430:24:45

No, it's Callanetics. Callanetics.

0:24:450:24:47

Callanetics. That's definitely a thing, isn't it?

0:24:470:24:49

That's definitely an exercise. Yeah.

0:24:490:24:50

I remember when I worked in the book shop,

0:24:500:24:52

we had Callanetics books in the...

0:24:520:24:54

Yeah. It makes sense, doesn't it? We'll go with that, then. Yeah.

0:24:540:24:58

OK. We're going to go for Callanetics.

0:24:580:25:00

Callanetics is correct. Very good.

0:25:020:25:05

OK, Eggheads, here we are again.

0:25:050:25:07

It's not easy, is it?

0:25:070:25:09

Which football player was awarded

0:25:090:25:11

his fourth Ballon d'Or trophy in 2016?

0:25:110:25:14

2016...

0:25:140:25:16

If it's 2016, it's Cristiano Ronaldo.

0:25:160:25:18

First one was won at United.

0:25:180:25:20

He's won two more at Real Madrid.

0:25:210:25:23

So it's Cristiano...

0:25:230:25:24

If it's 2016, he definitely won it.

0:25:240:25:27

Go on. Cristiano Ronaldo.

0:25:270:25:29

Okey dokey. Erm...

0:25:290:25:31

Cristiano Ronaldo.

0:25:310:25:32

Cristiano Ronaldo is correct.

0:25:320:25:34

Here's your question. Which financier,

0:25:350:25:38

tycoon and politician was the father of the journalist

0:25:380:25:41

and campaigner Jemima Khan?

0:25:410:25:44

This is.. Goldsmith. ..Goldsmith.

0:25:440:25:46

Isn't it? Yes, it is.

0:25:460:25:48

But what's his first name, though?

0:25:480:25:50

Cos Zac's the son...

0:25:500:25:51

Zac's the son.

0:25:510:25:53

It's the guy from the Referendum Party years ago, isn't it?

0:25:530:25:57

Is it James?

0:25:570:25:58

Well, Jemima sounds a bit James-y.

0:26:000:26:02

I'm not sure I can get away from that now, but...

0:26:030:26:05

No. ..I'm not convinced it's right either. Sorry, no...

0:26:050:26:08

Ooh...

0:26:080:26:10

Has he got a title, in any way, would he be like...?

0:26:100:26:13

Sir something Goldsmith. Probably was. Just wondering if that...

0:26:130:26:15

Philip. Philip... No.

0:26:150:26:17

Mm... You want to go for Philip, do you?

0:26:170:26:20

I don't know. I just... I think I prefer James.

0:26:200:26:23

Yeah, I prefer James. James. OK, let's go for James.

0:26:230:26:25

I don't know if it's right, though. I'm not sure.

0:26:250:26:27

Don't know. Don't know. Yeah, we don't know.

0:26:270:26:29

We're struggling with the first name, but we're going to go for...

0:26:290:26:32

James Goldsmith? James. Yeah. James Goldsmith.

0:26:320:26:34

James Goldsmith is correct.

0:26:340:26:35

Oh, my goodness! Sir James.

0:26:350:26:37

OK... Eggheads, pressure on YOU now.

0:26:370:26:40

If you get this wrong, the contest is over,

0:26:400:26:42

they're going to win ?6,000 on this one answer.

0:26:420:26:45

Who directed the 1972 Charles Bronson hit man film

0:26:450:26:49

The Mechanic?

0:26:490:26:51

Have you got any idea?

0:26:520:26:54

I'm thinking. There was a bloke who did a whole load of Bronson stuff

0:26:540:26:57

that died recently, and I can't think of his name.

0:26:570:26:59

Was it Cimino you're thinking of?

0:26:590:27:01

No, not Cimino.

0:27:010:27:03

Died later than Cimino in the '70s and I can't think who it is.

0:27:030:27:08

Well, the only other one's Michael Winner with Death Wish,

0:27:080:27:10

but it's not him. It's not Michael Winner.

0:27:100:27:13

I think, the one I was thinking of was Sam Peckinpah cos he was...

0:27:130:27:18

He died a lot earlier.

0:27:180:27:21

Well, I might have it confused with something.

0:27:210:27:23

Well, just see, just try and rule out what you're thinking of.

0:27:230:27:26

I can't even think of the film, though.

0:27:260:27:28

Yeah, I think we're in trouble. I think we're in big trouble here.

0:27:280:27:31

No, I'm struggling.

0:27:310:27:32

So I'll go Sam Peckinpah for want of a better guess.

0:27:320:27:36

Yep, fair enough. Sam Peckinpah, we'll fall on our sword.

0:27:360:27:38

Let's do it. Sam Peckinpah.

0:27:380:27:41

The interesting thing is here, you did say the name.

0:27:410:27:45

Kevin, who is it?

0:27:460:27:47

Michael Winner, I think.

0:27:470:27:49

Michael Winner is the answer. Oh, well played!

0:27:490:27:51

Congratulations, Challengers, you have won!

0:27:510:27:53

And particular congrats to Iain, because you knocked Kevin out.

0:27:590:28:02

Honestly, brilliant quizzing, to take them that far in sudden death,

0:28:020:28:07

we must all go around gazundering.

0:28:070:28:10

That's where the trouble started, isn't it?

0:28:100:28:13

I can't believe they've got a word for that!

0:28:130:28:15

That must be such a rare thing.

0:28:150:28:16

Challengers, how does it feel?

0:28:160:28:18

It feels fantastic. Brilliant. Good. I'm so pleased for you.

0:28:180:28:21

Every single round, my goodness, you really slogged it out there,

0:28:210:28:24

so congratulations, Barrycudas, you've won ?6,000.

0:28:240:28:27

You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads,

0:28:270:28:29

and, after that immense game,

0:28:290:28:31

I hope you'll join us next time to see what happens

0:28:310:28:33

when we reset the jackpot

0:28:330:28:35

and whether a new team of Challengers

0:28:350:28:37

can be just as successful as the brilliant Barrycudas.

0:28:370:28:40

Until then, goodbye.
