0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where five quiz Challengers pit their wits
0:00:27 > 0:00:30against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads. Feeling quizzy, are we?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Yeah, definitely!- Good!
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are the Bass Muntjacs.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Now, this team have both lived and quizzed together
0:00:40 > 0:00:43during their time at Leeds University.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44So, let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Joe, I'm a field operations executive.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Jack and I'm writing and performance student.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Alex and I'm a zoology student.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Howdy, I'm Witt, I'm a medieval studies student.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Scott and I'm a chemistry student.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59So, Joe and team, hello.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- Hello, Jeremy.- Good to see you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Tell me about the team name, Joe?
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Bass Muntjacs?
0:01:04 > 0:01:11So, me, Alex and Scott were in a band together at Leeds and that was actually called Zlatan originally,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13cos we were big fans of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the time.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18And then we decided that we liked this name Bass Muntjacs
0:01:18 > 0:01:22because they came down to see me in London and the muntjac is...
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Don't tell us, I'm going to ask the Eggheads. What's a muntjac?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- A barking deer.- Oh, they know.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28That's so annoying!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- He was in the band! - So the muntjac is a kind of deer.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35It's a small kind of deer and it's supposedly native to where I live
0:01:35 > 0:01:36in London, which is Wanstead.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Oh, really?- And they liked that, and Alex is a zoologist,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43so we decided that we'd have a band with muntjac in the name,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and then we realised it's quite similar to another famous band.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Because Bass Muntjacs sounds a bit like Basement Jaxx.- Yep.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53OK. This is the best answer we've ever had on a quiz show,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- by the way.- It gets better though.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57We're not even finished yet?!
0:01:57 > 0:01:58- That was never the band name.- Right.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I graduated and had to go back to London and the band just sort of fell away.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- So we never actually got to use the name.- Until now!
0:02:05 > 0:02:09We only ever did three gigs because we won a competition to be in the Leeds Ball.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Oh, right. So one of you, ie you, Joe, you've graduated?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14The rest are still at university?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Yes.- Right. And do you get a chance, Joe, to quiz together or separately?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I try and get up to Leeds whenever I can, so we go to local pubs,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24sometimes they quiz in the union as well.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26And you quizzed together when you were at uni together?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yeah. We won the quiz in the uni I think a couple of times.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Ah. I heard a noise there from the Eggheads.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34That's the noise they go when they're suddenly worried.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36There was just a little, did you hear that? "Uh," like that.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Game on. Good luck, guys!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Let's hope you can take them down.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:46 > 0:02:47the prize-money rolls over.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50You know that. Now, Bass Muntjacs,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I can tell you that the Eggheads are starting to get into their stride.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57They've won five on the trot, which means there's £6,000 to play for.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Would you like to try and win it? - Yes.- Well, we're here.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I thought so!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03No-one's ever said no to that question.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07So the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV,
0:03:07 > 0:03:11and it's one of you against either Beth, Kevin, Chris, Barry or Dave.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- OK.- Film & TV.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- I think that might be me. - That's going to be Scott.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16We'll send Scott up for that.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Scott, OK, our chemistry student, against who?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21- Kevin.- Do you think?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Do you fancy yourself on it? - Why not?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Yeah? OK.- Yep.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Scott will go against Kevin then. - Oh, right, OK.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29A lunge at the leader.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Scott from Bass Muntjacs versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36and it's Film & TV, please go to the Question Room now.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40So, Scott, here we are, Film & TV,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42would you like to go first or second against the grand master?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Ooh, I think I'll go first.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Your first question is this.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Leslie Ash played Deborah,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54the object of Tony's lust, in which TV sitcom?
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Er, right, it's a tough one for me, I'm afraid.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Ooh, which one to go for?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I think, I have a gut feeling for some reason,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I'm going to go for Men Behaving Badly.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Men Behaving Badly is the right answer.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Oh, lovely.- All right, Kevin, your question.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Which of these won the Best Picture Oscar earliest?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Right, yes, just making sure.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33American Beauty was around about the millennium.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Braveheart was in the mid-1990s.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38But Rain Man was back in the late '80s, so...
0:04:38 > 0:04:42the earliest winner of the Best Picture Oscar there was Rain Man.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45You are correct, Rain Man it was.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50OK, Scott. In which country was the actor Ryan Gosling born?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Right, I think I know this one.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Pretty sure it's not Ireland.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Pretty sure he's not Australian,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02so I think Ryan Gosling is Canadian.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Canadian is correct.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It's Canada. He's in La La Land, he's brilliant.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Kevin. In 2002,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Kate Ford joined the cast of Coronation Street
0:05:11 > 0:05:13playing which character?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19- Kate Ford.- Yeah, Kate Ford.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23No, I don't think she's either...
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I think she's Tracy Barlow. Tracy Barlow.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Tracy Barlow is right. Two each.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- This is tense. Are you feeling it, Challengers?- Yep.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I've got a feeling of tension.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33OK.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Your question, Scott. Who played Erin Gilbert
0:05:36 > 0:05:39in the 2016 film Ghostbusters?
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Um, well, I haven't seen it, which is not a good start.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51But, I'm trying to think who's in it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I don't think Amy Schumer or Rebel Wilson is in it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57So just by that logic I'm going to say Kristen Wiig.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Let's check with the Eggheads here. Eggheads, is he right?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Kristen Wiig is the only one of those three
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- that's actually in the film.- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Beth confirms it, Kristen Wiig is the right answer, well done.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08So three out of three.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Not a question wrong so far for our Challengers.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Kevin, the first episode of the first series of Downton Abbey
0:06:14 > 0:06:16was set on the day after which of these events?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I think it originally ran from,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28it started just before the First World War,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31and the other two events are a little bit further back than that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35And I have a recollection that the Titanic sinking
0:06:35 > 0:06:39came into it at the outset. So sinking of the Titanic.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41You're absolutely right. The sinking of the Titanic.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Three questions and three correct answers from both of you,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45so we go to Sudden Death.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Scott, it gets a bit harder.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I don't give you multiple-choice options.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Are you ready?- I'm ready.- All right.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Here we go, Bass Muntjacs.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar
0:06:56 > 0:07:01for her role as the witch in the 2014 musical film Into The Woods?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Into The Woods? Oh, I can picture... I can see her face,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06but I can't think of the name.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, I don't know.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Jennifer Lawrence? I know it's wrong, but I'll have a go.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Wrong generation actually.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17We were looking for somebody who's, I guess, senior.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Yeah?- It was the 19th Oscar nomination for Meryl Streep.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Oh, OK, yep.- So it was that generation.- Yep.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26She might be complimented you didn't guess...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Maybe.- ..that she played the witch.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Kevin, you can take the round with this.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Who played the austere father Mr Banks
0:07:32 > 0:07:36in the 1964 musical film Mary Poppins?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37It's so long since I've seen it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I saw that as a kid when it came out and I've never seen it since.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I think it was David Tomlinson, but I'm just having...
0:07:45 > 0:07:49I'm not mixing that up with Bedknobs And Broomsticks or something, am I?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Um...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56No, I'm going to have to say David Tomlinson. I can't remember.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00It's interesting that you mentioned Bedknobs And Broomsticks cos I happened to see that recently
0:08:00 > 0:08:03and I've got this vivid image of this guy floating around on a bedstead,
0:08:03 > 0:08:04and it is the same guy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07So the confusion is not confusion, actually.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09David Tomlinson is the right answer.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Sorry, Scott. He is a very powerful quizzer, isn't he?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- It was worth a try.- It was very much worth a try, and it's happened
0:08:15 > 0:08:18before, catching Kevin cold at the start sometimes works,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21cos he doesn't expect to be picked. Kevin though, you're in the final.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Scott, you're not, please return to us, we'll play round two.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29So, the Bass Muntjacs have lost a brain from the final round.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32They lost Scott. The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I stress SO FAR. It's Politics now.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Who would like Politics?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Joe, what do you think? - Do I have to go on this?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- That's got to be Joe. - It has to be you really.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45And then we're hoping Sport doesn't come up. If Sport comes up, Scott's out.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Yeah, cos I could've done Sport. - I don't know.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Can you do Politics?- No!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Well, it's you then, Joe.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Maybe, I...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- We've lost Scott for Sport, that's the thing.- Yeah, I know we have,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59but like...we can't play for a perfect outcome now.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- That's true.- That's very wise.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03OK. Yeah, it's going to have to be me.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06OK, Joe, against which Egghead?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Can't be Kevin.- Who do you fancy?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I will take Barry.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Barry!- We agree.- Yeah.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Very good, OK.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Sorry, I should have consulted my team!- The discussion was minimal.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Executive decision. - Joe from Bass Muntjacs
0:09:18 > 0:09:22versus our own Egghead muntjac, Mr Barry Simmons.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Please go to the Question Room now.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27So, good luck here, Joe.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You're against Barry. Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:30 > 0:09:31I will go first, please.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Here's your question. Donald Trump was born in which decade?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Can't be 1920s, of course. 1960s definitely wouldn't work.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51It's got to be 1940s, yeah.
0:09:51 > 0:09:521940s is right.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Well done. First point to Joe.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Barry, which Shakespearean phrase
0:09:57 > 0:09:59was famously used to describe a period
0:09:59 > 0:10:03of James Callaghan's government that began in 1978?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I remember this well, and it was the winter of discontent.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14It was indeed. And what play is that from, Barry?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- I think it's Richard III. - I think it is.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I think it's that famous sort of hammy
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Laurence Olivier speech, isn't it?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21It is, which I will refuse to do!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25JEREMY LAUGHS Well done. Joe.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28What is the first name of Theresa May's husband,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30whom she married in 1980?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Right, I feel like it's not Michael.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I feel like that would have a good ring to it
0:10:38 > 0:10:40and it would really jump out at me.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Henry isn't saying anything.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Philip May sounds good to me.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48I don't know it for sure. Yeah, I'll say Philip.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Philip is correct.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Well done.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Barry, who was British Prime Minister between 1929 and 1935?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I should know this instantly,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06but for some reason I'm struggling.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Now, I know Stanley Baldwin was the Prime Minister
0:11:09 > 0:11:13at the abdication crisis, and that was 1936.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Bonar Law I think is earlier.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Now, Baldwin was Prime Minister on a number of occasions,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20but I don't think it was him.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I think it was James Ramsay MacDonald.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24You're absolutely right, well done.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26James Ramsay MacDonald, known as Ramsay MacDonald.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Your question now, Joe.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31What was the occupation of Stephen Ward,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34who became a central figure in the Profumo affair?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I'm not sure what the Profumo affair is.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45So it's going to be tricky to figure this out.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Jockey seems really left field.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I like the sound of chauffeur cos maybe he was driving a politician.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55I probably shouldn't talk about the affair as I don't know what it is.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I think chauffeur. He might have overheard things, so chauffeur.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Profumo was a Conservative minister in the '60s
0:12:01 > 0:12:03who was linked with these women
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and then it was an issue of him lying to Parliament about it and
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Russian spies and the whole thing went completely crazy, basically.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Osteopath is the answer.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13OK, Barry, your question.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Chevening House, used as an official government residence,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19is in which English county?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- This for the round.- Oh...
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I always get confused between Chevening and Dorneywood,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30which is also used, but it's not in Cumbria,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33but I can't remember, is it in Kent or Norfolk?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Chevening.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38But I've a feeling it's in Norfolk, so that's my answer.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39- Eggheads?- Kent.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Kent is the answer, Barry!
0:12:42 > 0:12:45OK, a bit of a let off there, Joe.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Two out of three for you both. We go to Sudden Death again.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Here's your question.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51In 1988, which junior health minister
0:12:51 > 0:12:54created outrage by saying most of Britain's egg production
0:12:54 > 0:12:57was infected with the Salmonella bacteria?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Right, junior ministers from the late '80s.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04So it's probably someone who was around in the '90s.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I'm going to say, could it be John Redwood?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09No, it was Edwina Currie.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Barry, who was twice defeated in the running
0:13:13 > 0:13:15for the leader of the Liberal Democrats
0:13:15 > 0:13:21by Menzies Campbell in 2006 and Nick Clegg in 2007?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Oh, I know who it was,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I can see him in my mind's eye and I can't put a name to him!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Oh, goodness, Barry.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Chris Huhne.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32For the round, Chris Huhne is correct.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well done, Barry!
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Sorry, Joe, knocked out by our Egghead,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38similar circumstances to the last round.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41So, Joe, you won't be able to help your team in the final, either.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Not a crisis yet, but getting close.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Come back to us, we'll play round three.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50OK, Bass Muntjacs have lost couple of brains now from the final round.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53The Eggheads are still all sitting there looking a bit too pleased with
0:13:53 > 0:13:56themselves. The next subject is Food & Drink.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Food & Drink, who would have thought that?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Now, who wants this? Three guys in the middle?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- OK.- Witt, do you think?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- OK.- How do you feel about that?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I don't think I'm going to do well.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Hear me out. I'm a dead man walking.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I'm a dead man walking. I'm going to get out of it.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15There's no chance for me anyway.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16You know your Latin, I think that might help.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19OK. When I'm gone and you're just here...
0:14:19 > 0:14:20When I'm gone.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Remember the Alamo.- We're going to go for the soon-to-be departed Witt.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27OK, Witt. That was a very dramatic monologue.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- And against which Egghead? - To be honest, I don't know.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31OK, Food & Drink.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Let's say...
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Chris?- Yeah, I think.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Chris?- Whoever you want.- Chris.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40OK. We'll go for Chris.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44OK, so Witt from Bass Muntjacs versus Chris from the Eggheads,
0:14:44 > 0:14:45please take your positions.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49So, Witt, where are you from originally?
0:14:49 > 0:14:55Um, well, I was born in California, was raised in Texas,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57but I've lived in Kansas the longest.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59So I'm from the United States of America.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02So you're passing through Europe or staying?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I don't know, I'm just around.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06JEREMY LAUGHS
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And when you were very young, you were in a film?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Yeah, I was.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Called Gattaca.- Yeah.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- What were you doing?- I played the main character, actually.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19It was a flashback scene, I was two years old, but, yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I did play the main character. It was uncredited,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23you'll have to take me at my word.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I take my mother at her word, I don't really remember it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Good luck, Witt. You're up against Chris on Food and Drink.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Do you want to go first or second?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I'm going to go second.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Here we go, Chris. Which part of the chicken is most likely to be used to
0:15:40 > 0:15:41make the dish chicken Kiev?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48You wouldn't get much of a Kiev out of a Parson's nose, would you?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50So you make a Kiev with the breast.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It is the breast, exactly.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Nice and spicy, garlicky, yes, lovely.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57OK, Witt, your question.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59What type of food is mulligatawny?
0:16:02 > 0:16:07Mulligatawny. That sounds like something regional.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I don't know why, but it doesn't strike me as cheese.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I don't know. Mulligatawny soup, mulligatawny bread.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Mulligatawny, I don't know.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I kind of like... I kind of want it to be soup.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I don't know anything about the origin of the word.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I'll go with... I'll go with soup.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Let's just check with your team-mates here.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Is he right?- We're pretty happy with that.- I think so.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Yeah, they like that. Soup is right.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Chris, the aniseed-flavoured spirit ouzo
0:16:34 > 0:16:37is most associated with which of these countries?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42It's the national tipple of Greece.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Greece is the right answer.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Back to you, Witt.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50The delicacy known as bird's nest soup is made from the nest
0:16:50 > 0:16:53and saliva of which bird?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Sorry, you're on the soups here.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Bird's nest soup?
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Bird's nest soup.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08This would probably help if I knew which ones nested and which ones,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I don't know, did whatever other birds do.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Maybe they all nest.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15But I'm guessing that's what the question's actually
0:17:15 > 0:17:17asking or something.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18I might have to go with...
0:17:20 > 0:17:21I like wagtail.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I just like that word. I don't know, I'm going to go with wagtail.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Wagtail is your answer. - Chris, do you know this one?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Yeah, it's a species of oriental swift or swiftlet.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Swiftlet.- Oh.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Chris, your question. And you can take the round with this.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Which fish is an essential ingredient of the dish
0:17:40 > 0:17:42known as Scotch woodcock?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I always thought that was a cheese on toast type thing.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Well, to pep up cheese on toast and make it into Scotch Woodcock,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55you'd add a couple of fillets of anchovies.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Is he right, Eggs?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Yes.- Yeah. Anchovies is the right answer.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Three out of three for Chris.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Sorry, Witt, you've been knocked out there.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Knocked out by soups.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Yeah, that's how it comes to you, I guess.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Please come back to us both of you, we've got one more round to play.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14All right. Bass Muntjacs have lost three brains from the final round.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17The Eggheads have still got all their brains.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19And the next subject for you is Geography.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21So the last one before the final, who wants this?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22This could be a key moment.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Well, we're pretty happy with that. - I think I'll take that.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26- Yeah.- Going to be Alex? OK.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Zoology student against which Egghead,
0:18:29 > 0:18:33and it can be either of the ones on the end, so it's Dave or Beth?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- I think maybe Dave?- I think Dave.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37We'd like to go for Dave, please.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Right, Alex from Bass Muntjacs is going to take on Dave.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Tremendous Knowledge Dave, as he's called, from the Eggheads,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45on Geography. Could be a key moment now. Please go to the Question Room.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50OK, Alex, Geography, against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:53 > 0:18:54I'll go for first.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59OK, you're looking pretty relaxed there.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00I'm not feeling too bad.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Good. Here's your first question.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06In which country is the resort of Acapulco?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Acapulco.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Could you spell that, please.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16A-C-A-P-U-L-C-O, Acapulco.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I feel like that sounds more Mexican than the rest of them,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22so I'm going to go with Mexico.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Mexico is quite right.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Famously going loco down in Acapulco, and all that.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29It's sort of a famous party town.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Mexico's right, well done.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Dave. Which two countries border the principality of Andorra?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Andorra, yeah?- Yeah.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46Well, it's in the Pyrenees, so that leads me to France and Spain.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48France and Spain is correct.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Back to you, Alex.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53In Somerset, Wookey Hole is the source of which river?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59In Somerset.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'm not sure about any of these rivers, to be honest.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I don't have much reason to go for this,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08but I'm going to go to for River Spear.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I guess a river flows like a spear.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I don't know whether the two wrong answers here are made up or not.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Dave, which is it?
0:20:15 > 0:20:16It's River Axe.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19River Axe is a river, and River Axe is the answer.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Dave has a chance to take the lead.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25The colon is the unit of currency in which of these countries?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34I think it's one of these where Barry spent a few of these.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I don't think it's Chad,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I don't think it's Cambodia, I think Costa Rica.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Let's check with Barry, known as He's Been To Every Answer Simmons.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Barry, which is it?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47It's Costa Rica, and I was there quite recently!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Of course you were, of course you were.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51You've been everywhere quite recently.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Costa Rica is the answer.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Alex, you've fallen behind him.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Yep.- You need to get this right to stay in, otherwise,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01it's going to be Jack alone in the final.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Which of these countries shares a border with Eritrea?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Well, I'm going to Kenya soon, and I don't think it borders Kenya.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16And Djibouti is very small.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I think it borders Ethiopia
0:21:18 > 0:21:22and I think Uganda's next to Ethiopia,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24so I'm going to go with Uganda.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Let's see if your team-mates know. Do you know?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28We think it's Djibouti. We think Uganda might be too far.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Yeah, they're all in vaguely the same neighbourhood,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36but the one with the same border is Djibouti, Alex, sorry.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I know, as a zoology student,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40that might not have come up in your subject.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- No.- But thank you for playing.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45You've been beaten by our Egghead. Dave will be in the final.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Return to us, we will play the final round.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It's time for the final round,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54which as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads won't be allowed
0:21:57 > 0:21:59to take part in this round.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01So all from this side, I'm afraid.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05It's Joe, Alex, Witt and Scott from Bass Muntjacs,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07would you now, please, leave the studio.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14OK, Jack, you are playing to win Bass Muntjacs £6,000, and good luck.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Dave, Barry, Chris, Kevin and Beth,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26You are allowed to confer.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Sorry, that doesn't help you, Jack, cos you're on your own.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32The question is, can your one brain defeat these five?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- It's been done before, hasn't it, Eggs?- Oh, yes.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35That's why they're worried.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Jack, would you like to go first or second?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39First, to get more questions.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45OK. So, your first question is this -
0:22:45 > 0:22:49West Ham United traditionally wear a home kit described
0:22:49 > 0:22:51as being blue and what colour?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56OK, I'm pretty confident about this.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58When you started the question I knew it was a sort of maroon,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01like the shirt basically I'm wearing now,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and of those three the closest to that description
0:23:03 > 0:23:04would have to be claret.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Claret is quite right, brilliant.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09OK. First question for the Eggheads.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14The beaver is an official symbol of which country in the Americas?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Canada.- National animal of Canada.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22That's the national animal of Canada.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Canada's quite right, Beth, well done.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26You need them to struggle over an early question.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29That's essentially what we need. The beaver didn't help us.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Here's yours.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32For what does the G stand
0:23:32 > 0:23:37in the name of the pig breed abbreviated to GOS?
0:23:40 > 0:23:41OK.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Didn't brush up on pig knowledge for this, but, I mean,
0:23:44 > 0:23:48when you said GOS I was thinking something old sow,
0:23:48 > 0:23:49but that doesn't sound technical.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52That doesn't sound like a farmer would want to refer to pigs as that.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55That leans me more towards Gloucestershire.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I'm thinking of other livestock breeds
0:23:57 > 0:23:59that I can name, such as Friesian or Shetland,
0:23:59 > 0:24:03which have locations in the name, so I'll say Gloucestershire.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Now, I think the OS stands for old spot, am I right?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Yes.- So the pig breed is Gloucestershire old spot, well done.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Gloucestershire's correct.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Eggheads. Incheon Airport is in which country?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I-N-C-H-E-O-N.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- South Korea.- South Korea.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22It's where the landings were.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- It's South Korea, definitely. - Near Seoul.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28OK, Kevin informs me it's near Seoul in South Korea.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30South Korea is right.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Here's your third question, Jack.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Manuel II was the king of which European country
0:24:35 > 0:24:39until it declared itself a republic in 1910?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I think...
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It can't be Spain
0:24:47 > 0:24:50because I'm pretty sure they still have a monarchy.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53And I feel like they probably did have one before the Civil War.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59Italy I think was unified in the 19th century with Garibaldi.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01So I'm going to go with Portugal, Jeremy.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Eggheads, what is the answer?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Portugal.- Portugal is correct, well done, three out of three.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07So, Eggheads, here we are.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09You know how dangerous this is, don't you,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12cos you've been here before and you've had the smiles
0:25:12 > 0:25:13wiped off your faces.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Third question, final round, £6,000 the jackpot.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19If you get this wrong, the Challengers have won.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Who was the mother of Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Alice.- I thought it was Princess Alice.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Alice, isn't it?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I've recently watched The Crown
0:25:32 > 0:25:34and I'm pretty certain it was Princess Alice.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yeah, I think it's Alice.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39We're pretty convinced that it's Princess Alice.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The correct answer is Princess Alice.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Three out of three for you both.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Well done, Jack. Great play so far, gets a bit harder now,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- because I don't give you multiple choices.- Yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Here we go, General Knowledge, come on, you can do this.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Which television personality
0:25:55 > 0:25:59narrated the UK audio book editions of the Harry Potter series?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01OK, I think I know this.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05I never listened to them myself, I read the books, of course,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07but I'm pretty sure,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10because I've heard people ape him over and over again doing it,
0:26:10 > 0:26:11I think it's Stephen Fry.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Stephen Fry is right.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15OK, Eggheads, on the edge again.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Whispering Grass was a 1975 UK number one single
0:26:20 > 0:26:23for two members of the cast of which UK TV sitcom?
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- It Ain't Half Hot Mum. - It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27- It Ain't Half Hot Mum.- Lofty.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Don Estelle and Windsor Davies.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Sung by Don Estelle and Windsor Davies, from It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36It Ain't Half Hot Mum is correct.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Back to you, Jack.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42A famous quote from Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra is
0:26:42 > 0:26:48"Age cannot wither her, nor customs stale her infinite" what?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Right, well I know he's talking about Cleo, of course.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I have seen the play. I have studied the play...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57..in theatre history.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Um, my instinct is to say beauty.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01That seems to be the word that would most fit,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03it's the word I'd probably put there.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05"Stale her", as well, I feel that beauty is something that could
0:27:05 > 0:27:08be described as going stale. "Cannot wither her."
0:27:08 > 0:27:10And the line started with "wither her" and that's very much
0:27:10 > 0:27:15a physical thing, so I will say beauty, Jeremy, for £6,000.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- It's not beauty.- Ohh!
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Variety.- Variety, I wouldn't have got that.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22"Nor customs stale her infinite variety."
0:27:22 > 0:27:23That doesn't ring a bell.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26OK, the Eggheads have a chance to take the contest then.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Sudden Death. This question.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32The Peloponnese peninsula is a part of which Mediterranean country?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Greece.- Greece.- Greece.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37South of the Corinth Canal, yeah.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39It's part of Greece, Jeremy.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43If you're right, the contest is over on Sudden Death.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45The answer is Greece.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51I knew that one but...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Eggheads, did you know the Shakespeare one?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- Oh, yes.- Yeah.- All right, all right!
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I didn't want to go to them cos I thought that would have been off-putting.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04So, on Greece, they've taken it, but gosh, you're a quizzer, Jack.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Well, I tried.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08You did so well. You were storming along there.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I'll take the moral victory, not the financial one.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Bass Muntjacs, you've been a great team to see in action.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Thank you for coming here. - Thank you.- Commiserations to our Challengers.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, and their winning streak continues.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22It does mean that you're not going home with the £6,000.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25We will take that money and roll it over until our next show.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Eggheads, well done.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Who is ever going to beat you?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:31 > 0:28:35have the brains to take them down. £7,000 says they won't.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Maybe they never will.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Until we play again, goodbye.
