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 > 0:00:21The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:29 > 0:00:30pit their wits
0:00:30 > 0:00:32against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:35 > 0:00:39are My Chemical Bromance.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Now, this team of students - with a brilliant name, by the way -
0:00:41 > 0:00:44are all in their final year of studying chemical engineering
0:00:44 > 0:00:46at Queen's University in Belfast.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Conail, and I specialise in water treatment.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi. I'm Sean,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55and I'm specialising in hydrogen production from glycerol.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Conor, and I specialise in the recycling of waste plastics.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Michael, and I specialise in solvent extractions.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi. I'm Conor, and I specialise in biofuel production.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08So, Conail and team, hello.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10TEAM: Hi, Jeremy. Great to see you.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11And I'm just desperately hoping
0:01:11 > 0:01:14chemical engineering comes up, Conail.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Yeah. Well...
0:01:15 > 0:01:17it might be bad if it does - we could be embarrassed.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Well, that's true, but although normally with quizzing
0:01:20 > 0:01:22you try to spread the abilities,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25here we've got five people who are whizzes at chemical engineering.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Yeah.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Could that be a drawback here?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Um, it could be - if thermodynamics doesn't come up,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32we might be struggling.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Now, you do quiz, though, don't you, Conail?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Um, yeah, we do it in our local students' union,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38and we are perennial runners-up.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Meaning you come second, or...?
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Yeah. Oh, OK.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Is there somewhere a team that's even better?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Yeah, there's usually one or two really strong teams, and...
0:01:46 > 0:01:48They weren't available today. We just seem to...
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Oh, no, but they'll be watching, and when you win, they'll be so gutted.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53So that's good. Yeah.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And just remind us of the team name.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Cos it's a play on something, isn't it?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Yeah, it's a play on the band My Chemical Romance,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02which is actually Conor down at the end there's favourite band,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04so he was just desperate to get that name on.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Can't wait to see you play.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Every day, there is ?1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:07 > 0:02:08for our Challengers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13the prize-money rolls over to our next show, as you know.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Now, My Chemical Bromance, the Eggheads are playing...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19quite well, they are back on their feet
0:02:19 > 0:02:20after a difficulty a few games ago.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22They've won the last two,
0:02:22 > 0:02:23and that means there is
0:02:23 > 0:02:25?3,000 to play for today.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Would you like to try and win it?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Yes, please. Excellent.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Your first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33so it's one of you against either Beth,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Chris, Pat, Steve or Lisa.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Michael, I think that's going to be you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Yeah, I think that's probably me. Yeah.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40OK, Mike... Who do I go up against?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43All right. Who would you like to take on?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Who looks lost? Anyone got an opinion?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Chris, Beth...?
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Yeah, Chris. Chris.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Chris. OK... Give it a go?
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Um, Chris. OK.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Michael from My Chemical Bromance is playing Chris...
0:02:53 > 0:02:56No bromance on that side, is there, Chris?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Don't go there, girlfriend.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59THEY LAUGH
0:02:59 > 0:03:02..Chris from the Eggheads. To ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Now, I think I know why you're doing Geography, Michael,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11because you've been all over the place.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Yeah, I've tried to travel
0:03:14 > 0:03:16throughout my university summer times.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I just hope that my travels come in useful.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Best place? Which is the most exciting country you've been to?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I think the most exciting has probably been Jordan.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I spent a summer there for an internship.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Completely different culture from Northern Ireland,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33so it was really nice to get out there and experience new things.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36What a great experience in your early 20s, yeah, brilliant.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40All right, Geography against Chris, another new experience for you.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yeah. Michael, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Could I go second, please?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49OK, Chris.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Here's your question.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Myanmar, also known as Burma,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55has extensive coastline on which body of water?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It's on the Bay of Bengal, Jeremy.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Yes, it is. Bay of Bengal, well done.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08OK, over to you, Michael.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Reims Cathedral, now a Unesco World Heritage Site,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16was formerly the place where the kings of which country were crowned?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20And Reims is spelt R-E-I-M-S.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Um, could I go down the middle, please, with Italy?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29You can, but it's wrong.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Oh. France is the correct answer, not Italy.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Sorry, Michael. Chris, over to you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Of the three main
0:04:35 > 0:04:37classes of rock,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40which does coal belong to? Chris, is it...
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Ooh...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Hang on. It's, um...
0:04:49 > 0:04:53compressed organic material, isn't it? So it's sedimentary.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I thought you'd get that, cos there's a train connection there.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Sedimentary's right. Anything that has a train connection,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03however tenuous, he tends to get right, Michael.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Here comes your second.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Krakow in Poland is served by an international airport
0:05:11 > 0:05:13named after which historical figure?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Unfortunately I don't know this answer for sure, either,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26but I will go down the middle,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30with Pope John Paul II because of his Polish connections.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Pope John Paul II.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Let's see - Eggheads, is he right?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Yeah. I think that's right. Yes, you're right, well done.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Good quizzing there, Michael, not an easy question at all.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Chris, this is for the round.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Because you will have got three in a row if you get this.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Where is the Grade I-listed monastery of Quarr Abbey located?
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Can you spell that, Jeremy? Yeah, Quarr is Q-U-A-R-R.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Well, A-R-R endings tend to be sort of...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Hebridean, don't they? So I'll say the Isle of Bute.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Eggheads, do you know? Or Beth, I think you might know.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07No, I think it's the Isle of Wight.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09You think it's the Isle of Wight.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12You're right, as well. Isle of Wight is the answer.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Isle of Wight? Yeah.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Wrong end of the country!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Ooh, we've had a nice little let-off there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Get this right, Michael, and we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Faneuil Hall, sometimes referred to
0:06:24 > 0:06:28as the Cradle of Liberty and the site of several speeches
0:06:28 > 0:06:31by Samuel Adams, is a landmark in which US city?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I'll go with Boston, please.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Only on the connection between Sam Adams beer
0:06:41 > 0:06:45and I know they have a Boston Lager, so...
0:06:45 > 0:06:46that's my logic behind that answer.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48To be fair, that's a brilliant way of quizzing,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50and you're absolutely right.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52That's the kind of Eggheads-style bit of logic there.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Boston is the right answer.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56That's the exactly same way I got to the answer -
0:06:56 > 0:06:58know your breweries!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Always do it through beer. Beer or trains, Chris.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03That's the principle, isn't it? Always a good decision.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Right, two each after three questions. Well done, Michael.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08You fought back there. We go to Sudden Death.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Chris has the first question.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Gets a bit harder now, as you know, Chris,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13because I don't give you alternative options.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15What is the official language of Bahrain?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Arabic.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Arabic is correct.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Your question, Michael.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Tokelau, a dependant territory of New Zealand,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27is an island country in which ocean?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I don't know, I'm having a blank.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I will go for the Indian Ocean.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36There's a little rule that Judith always has,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38which is, if you don't know the ocean, say Pacific.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Yeah. Pacific is the answer here
0:07:40 > 0:07:42cos it's big and there's a lot in it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Sorry, you've been knocked out by Chris.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Chris, well done. Sudden Death was a bit sudden.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48You'll be in the final.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Return to us, gentlemen.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51We'll play on.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54So, as it stands, My Chemical Bromance
0:07:54 > 0:07:56have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:56 > 0:07:58the Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00The next subject is Arts Books.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Who would like this?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Is this good for chemical engineers?
0:08:03 > 0:08:04THEY LAUGH
0:08:04 > 0:08:06The worst.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07That was Michael's, as well.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Oh, that was Michael, as well? Unfortunately.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11I think, Sean. I would not...
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I would fail. I would not do well.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17It's up to you. I don't mind.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yeah? I'll give it a go.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Good stuff. So Conor.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Any particular Egghead?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I'll take Pat.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Right. Good decision.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29It's going to be Conor M from My Chemical Bromance
0:08:29 > 0:08:32taking on Pat from the Eggheads on Arts Books.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Please go to the Question Room again.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37All right, Conor,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39this wasn't particularly your choice of subject, was it?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42No, definitely not. We were going to put Michael up for this
0:08:42 > 0:08:44but, unfortunately, he went there, so I'm the scapegoat.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46And you have had an amazing life
0:08:46 > 0:08:48because you were born in San Francisco?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Yeah, I lived there for five years.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51And then you moved to Ballycastle,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54which I know is one of the nicest places in Northern Ireland.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Yeah, it was voted the best place to live there, I think, last year,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00by the Sunday Times, so it's something we like to boast about.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Your hobby is hurling, is that right?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I played since I was about eight years old until about 21.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Yeah. OK.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Well, we're on Arts Books.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I can't guarantee that hurling will feature here.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13No. Conor, do you want to go first or second?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20So, Pat starts with Arts Books. Here we go.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22In George Orwell's Animal Farm,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26what sort of animal is the character Squealer?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30It sounds like a pig.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I wonder.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It would be rather perverse naming if it isn't a pig.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37I think I'll have to say pig.
0:09:39 > 0:09:39Pig is correct.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Back to you, Conor.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46We British, a book about the history of British poetry,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48was written by which BBC journalist?
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Really have no idea here, so it's just got to be a punt in the dark
0:09:56 > 0:09:57with Andrew Marr.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Yes, it is Andrew.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Well done. Andrew Marr, absolutely.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Great book, actually, as well. My mum gave it to me.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04I really enjoyed it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Pat, in France, the Prix Goncourt
0:10:07 > 0:10:10is a prize awarded in which field of the arts?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I think there were two Goncourt brothers...
0:10:16 > 0:10:19..who wrote almost like a single author...
0:10:21 > 0:10:25..but in the end the prize in their name is for writing.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Writing is quite right.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Cracking on here, aren't we, Conor?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Here's your second question.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Which of these poets came to prominence in the 1920s and 1930s?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I think I did a few Seamus Heaney poems
0:10:45 > 0:10:47whenever I was in school
0:10:47 > 0:10:49and I think that was around the right time for him,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52so I'm going to guess with Seamus Heaney.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Yeah, it's not Seamus Heaney.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's not Ted Hughes. They were later.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Cecil Day-Lewis is the answer.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00So Pat has the lead,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04and, Pat, you can end the round with this question.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Bill Masen is the hero of which of these novels?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Masen is M-A-S-E-N.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Oh.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Is Guy Montag the hero of Fahrenheit 451?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22He's certainly a key man in it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23I Am Legend...
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I think that became a film called The Omega Man.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I think it became several films.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I think I'll discount Fahrenheit 451...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42..and it just doesn't ring a bell with I Am Legend.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44So I think I'll go for Day Of The Triffids.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48If you're right you've won the round.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49The answer is Day Of The Triffids, Pat.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Well done. You're quizzing well, here.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Conor, sorry. Beaten by our Egghead.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56They are on quite good form at the moment.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Come back to us, both of you, we'll play round three.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02My Chemical Bromance have lost two brains now.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04You're engineers, Conail,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06so I'm assuming you've got a plan now?
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Yeah, panic.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09THEY LAUGH
0:12:09 > 0:12:12The Eggheads have not lost a brain so far.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14They are sitting looking far too smug.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16The next subject is Music.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Who would like this?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I think probably Conail.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21I think I'll go.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Do you reckon?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Just in case History comes up next.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27OK. So Conor in the middle?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29All right. Conor in the middle.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Who would you like to take on?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33It can be Beth near me, or Steve or Lisa on the far end.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Lisa loves music, so...
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I'll take on Beth. All right.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40She likes her music. We like some of the same stuff.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Yeah. So Conor F from My Chemical Bromance versus Beth.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Have you heard of My Chemical Romance?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47I have. Have you listened to them?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I have in the past, yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51To ensure there is no conferring,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56So, Conor against Beth.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58And would you like to go first or second, Conor?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Here we go. Your first Music question.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08"The old hometown looks the same as I stepped down from the train,"
0:13:08 > 0:13:10is the first line of which song
0:13:10 > 0:13:14that Tom Jones took to the top of the UK chart in 1966?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Well, with those lyrics, you kind of would lean towards
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Green, Green Grass Of Home,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29but then She's A Lady, as well, is a famous Tom Jones song.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I think I'll go with Green, Green Grass Of Home.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Let's check with Chris, because this, again, involves a train.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Chris, is this the right answer?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Very tangentially. Yeah.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42# The old hometown looks the same as I stepped down from the train
0:13:42 > 0:13:47# And there to greet me is my mama and papa
0:13:47 > 0:13:51# Down the road I looked and there runs Mary
0:13:51 > 0:13:54# Hair of gold and lips like cherries
0:13:54 > 0:13:58# It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. #
0:13:58 > 0:14:00My, my.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Very good. And at what point does Delilah get involved?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07She doesn't. Oh, it's a different song.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Green, Green Grass Of Home is quite right.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Well done. Beth, your question.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15For which 1969 song did David Bowie win
0:14:15 > 0:14:17an Ivor Novello special award for originality?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Let's Dance and Heroes were much later than this time,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So it's got to be Space Oddity.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Space Oddity is quite right.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Back to you, Conor.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Which singer performed the song Read All About It
0:14:35 > 0:14:39at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London?
0:14:44 > 0:14:45I know this one.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46It's Emeli Sande.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Yeah, nice work. It is Emeli Sande.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50OK, Beth, your question.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53What name is given to the flared bottom
0:14:53 > 0:14:56of a clarinet, from which sound emerges?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I assume it's the same as the trombone,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04which is my instrument, and that would be the bell.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Bell is correct.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09All right. So where are we?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10We've got two each.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Getting three would be a good idea here, Conor,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14cos they're playing well today.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Which female singer's biggest UK singles chart success came in 1971
0:15:19 > 0:15:22with The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29This one, I'm not sure about.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I think I'll just take a wee guess with Joan Baez.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38You are absolutely right, Joan Baez it is.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41OK, Beth, your question.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42To stay in.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Claude Debussy's composition Clair de Lune
0:15:46 > 0:15:49was inspired by a poem of the same name by which writer?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Thinking about Debussy, he'd be a bit
0:16:00 > 0:16:05early for Andre Breton, I think.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Paul Verlaine or Baudelaire.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Debussy was composing in the Romantic period,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and I think Baudelaire was quite flowery,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18so I'll go with Charles Baudelaire.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Charles Baudelaire is the wrong answer.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24It's Paul Verlaine, actually.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25So, look, here we are.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27That's not bad, Conor. Not bad at all.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Beth, you've been knocked out. Conor, you're in the final round.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Well done. Thank you very much.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Come back to us. One more round to play.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37So our young Challengers are striking back now.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39They have lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:39 > 0:16:44the Eggheads have lost one, though, and the next subject is Science.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Who would like this?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Well, this is good, isn't it?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Hopefully!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51It should be. It's either the captain, Conail, or it's Sean.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I think it's Sean.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I think you have a more broad knowledge of science than I do.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59OK. Yeah. Sean?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01OK. And against which Egghead?
0:17:01 > 0:17:02You can have either Lisa or Steve.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03So you've got to go left.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Go Steve.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Steve. Very good.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Sean from My Chemical Bromance to play Steve from the Eggheads,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14the last round before the final.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Please take your positions.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21So, Sean, here we are, on Science, and you're the scientist.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Well, engineer, so hopefully that helps.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Chemical engineering, help us understand,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28that's not test-tubes - is that right?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30No, it's more reactors, heat exchangers,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33more...upscaling what the chemists do.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Sean, do you want to go first or second on Science?
0:17:36 > 0:17:37I'll go first.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Your first question.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45The Beulah Speckled Face is a breed of which type of animal?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I think, from the options, I'll go for monkey.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It's sheep.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I know that's not a chemical engineering question.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Unless you've engineered a sheep.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Not yet.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03That's coming. Steve, your question.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Approximately three quarters of the diet
0:18:05 > 0:18:10of a sperm whale usually consists of which other sea creature?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Well, out of the three options there,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I think squid is probably the most likely,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21so I'd say squid.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Squid is right.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Sean, back to you.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27What was a trilobite?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29And, Sean, it's all one word.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32T-R-I-L-O-B-I-T-E.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Almost as you'd expect. Trilobite.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Well, if I'm thinking of the right creature,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I think it's a prehistoric marine creature.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Can you visualise it?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It's a little small, like, segmented type-thing.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Like a caterpillar or something?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58More like a wood louse, in my head, at least.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01OK. Prehistoric marine creature is quite right.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Well done. Steve, on to you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09The Magnetophon K1, demonstrated in Germany in 1935,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12was the first practical example of what piece of technology?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Yeah, I'm not sure.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23But the magnet bit is attracting me to recordings.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27So, on the base of little else,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I will say tape recorder.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I see, based on the idea that the old-fashioned bits of tape,
0:19:32 > 0:19:37quarter inch, whatever, were little reordered bits of iron or something?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Maybe, just magnetise, picking stuff up.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Yeah, magnetisation was part of it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Tape recorder is quite right.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46An interesting point is that Bing Crosby...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51..formed a company to exploit the tape recorder technology
0:19:51 > 0:19:53that they found in Germany. Really?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55And he made a great deal of money out of it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57He supplied very early tape recorders
0:19:57 > 0:20:00to recording studios and film studios.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02That's amazing. Thank you.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Your third question here, Sean.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06You need to get this right, or you're out.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Somatotropin, which has been banned by bodies
0:20:08 > 0:20:10such as the International Olympic Committee,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13is a hormone that stimulates what?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Somatotropin?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I'm trying to see if the name helps me out here.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33I feel I might just have to go down the middle, growth.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Yeah, it's funny, it's a word that looks like
0:20:35 > 0:20:37it leads you to sleep, doesn't it?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I was thinking, but I thought...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Why would sleep be helpful?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Yeah, and stimulating, how do you stimulate sleep,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47surely you un-stimulate it?
0:20:47 > 0:20:48You're absolutely right. Well done.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Growth, it is. Still in there.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Steve, your question.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56You can take the round with this, get yourself a place in the final.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58What is a bolometer used to measure?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Can you just spell that, please, Jeremy?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08As you'd expect.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11B-O-L-O-M-E-T-E-R. One word.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I don't really know how I'm going to get there from
0:21:14 > 0:21:15what you've said.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I don't know.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Wind speed.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Wind speed is your answer? Yeah.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Eggheads, do you know?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Radiation, I think.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Yeah, Pat says radiation.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Oh. Did you know this one, Sean?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34No, not myself. I almost would have guessed wind speed.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Yeah, no, it's not, it's radiation.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38So that's handy.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41After three questions each, the scores are level.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43We go to Sudden Death and just to make it that bit harder,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46this is not multiple choice. Sean, your question.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Araucaria araucana, or the monkey puzzle tree,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53is native to which continent?
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Monkey tree. Monkey puzzle tree. Puzzle tree.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02I think I'll go with China.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I'm sorry, Sean. I have to take your first answer.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08We were looking for a continent.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10But it's actually not that part of the world -
0:22:10 > 0:22:12the answer is South America.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14South America is the answer.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Steve, at room temperature,
0:22:16 > 0:22:22the element argon exists in what fundamental states of matter?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I'll just take a second.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I'm pretty sure it's a gas.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Now, this is a classic chemical engineering question.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Sean, is he right? Yeah.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Yeah, you're right. It is a gas, and, Steve, you've knocked out Sean.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Sean will not be in the final round.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Please return to us, we will play that final for ?3,000.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48It is time for our final round, and, as always, General Knowledge.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49But I'm afraid those of you who lost
0:22:49 > 0:22:53your head-to-heads are not allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56So, Sean, Michael and Conor M from My Chemical Bromance,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58but also Beth from the Eggheads,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Conail and Conor,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07you are playing to win My Chemical Bromance ?3,000.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Lisa, Steve, Pat and Chris,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11you're playing for something that I don't think money can buy -
0:23:11 > 0:23:13it's the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19they are all General Knowledge, and you may confer.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21So, Conail and Conor,
0:23:21 > 0:23:26the question is, can your two brains defeat these four over here?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Good luck. Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:28 > 0:23:29We'd like to go second, please.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35So, first question, therefore, to the Eggheads.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36And here it is.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Jennifer Saunders married which other comedian in 1985?
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Adrian Edmondson.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47All happy with Adrian Edmondson?
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Yeah? OK.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51She is Mrs Adrian Edmondson.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Yes, it is Adrian Edmondson.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Well done.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Over to you, Challengers.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58In the film The Empire Strikes Back
0:23:58 > 0:23:59which character says the line,
0:23:59 > 0:24:03"Do or do not. There is no try."
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Which movie was that, sorry?
0:24:12 > 0:24:13The Empire Strikes Back.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Ben Kenobi was dead by then.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I thought it was Yoda.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I haven't seen it, but I'm almost certain it's Yoda.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23You've seen it, though.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Ben was dead in the fourth one.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27So what do you think?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Yeah, go Yoda.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32We are going to go Yoda.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Are they right?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Yes. Yoda is the right answer.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Well done. Level...
0:24:39 > 0:24:40in the final round.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Eggheads, in Greek mythology,
0:24:42 > 0:24:43what was the name of the Cyclops
0:24:43 > 0:24:46from whom Odysseus and his companions escaped?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Polyphemus. Isn't Polyphemus the only one there who's a Cyclops?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Yeah.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57The other two aren't.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Bellerophon was a man.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Until he fell off Pegasus and died.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I think the only one there that was a Cyclops was Polyphemus.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Polyphemus is quite right.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11We go back to you, Challengers.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Lentils are the main ingredient in which of these Indian dishes?
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Do you know?
0:25:20 > 0:25:21I don't know my Indian cuisine.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Is there any you were thinking?
0:25:23 > 0:25:28I kind of want to go between keema and dhal but I don't know why.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I don't know why I thought keema.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I've no idea what any of them are, to be honest.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37What do you think? I think just pick whatever you want.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Keema or dhal. Keema?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Are you sure? Yeah. Keema.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45We're not really sure at all, we don't know what any of them are.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Our food specialists are in the back there.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50But we're going to go keema.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Keema is your answer.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54So you don't go out for a curry in Belfast?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Not too often, no. Really?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Yeah. Let's just check in the back.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Any ideas on this, guys?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01The answer is dhal, Jeremy.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Yeah. They are right back there.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04It's dhal.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07That's annoying.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Because that means the Eggs can take it with this question.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14In 1968,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17whom did Ed "Stewpot" Stewart take over from
0:26:17 > 0:26:21as host of the radio music request programme Junior Choice?
0:26:26 > 0:26:27It's not Michael Bentine.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I wouldn't have thought it was Des O'Connor.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33He was a recording star at the time, wasn't he?
0:26:33 > 0:26:34I think it was Leslie Crowther.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38As in, "Come on down." Yeah, yeah.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I know Michael Bentine did a lot of kids' stuff, didn't he?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Definitely not him. Well, Potty Time, It's A Square World,
0:26:46 > 0:26:47that wasn't a kids' show.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50The Bumblies.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Yeah. Never did no radio stuff.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Don't think so, no. Well, the very early Goonie shows.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Any thoughts, Pat? No, I don't think I know this.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Leslie Crowther looking favourite, then?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Yeah. Right, I'll go with that.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07OK. I think that's the best logic we've got.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Leslie Crowther. Yeah.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Just checking.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14OK, I am assured by these learned gentleman,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18to the best of their knowledge, we think it might be Leslie Crowther.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Leslie Crowther is your answer.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Now, if you've got this right, you've won.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26You've barely got any questions wrong today.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30The correct answer is Leslie Crowther.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33You have won.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41My Chemical Bromance, you played really well.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I'm sorry, there were just moments when they were just unstoppable.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48And the three questions right in the final round is, let's say,
0:27:48 > 0:27:50inconvenient, to say the least.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53We should have got the second one right, to be honest.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Oh, don't you worry.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Commiserations to our Challengers.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58The Eggheads have done what is coming naturally to them again.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01They are just remembering who they all are.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Reigning supreme over Quiz Land. No doubt about it.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It does mean you won't be going home with the ?3,000.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09We're going to roll that money over to our next show.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Are you finally impossible to beat?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:16 > 0:28:19have the brains to surprise them.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20There will be ?4,000 to play for.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Till then, goodbye.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Star Wars...
