0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18The question is...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20..can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Here they are, the Eggheads!
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Are you on song today?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Yes.- All in harmony.- Excellent.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Well, our Challengers definitely are.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Challenging this team over here
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are Tuneless Tuesdays from the West Midlands.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45They're all members of the Sutton Coldfield Tuneless choir,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48whose motto is, "Sing like no-one is listening."
0:00:48 > 0:00:49So let's meet them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Lisa and I'm a quality manager at a steel stockholders.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Melanie and I'm a drama teacher.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Chris and I'm a technical manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Corinne and I'm a civil servant.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Susan and I'm a retired local government officer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, Lisa and team, hello.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07- ALL:- Hello. - Great to see you.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Lisa, tell us about the Tuneless Choir.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Tuneless Choir is for people who love to sing,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14but can't because they feel they lack practice,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16experience, or the courage to do so,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19and we sing every Tuesday in a very safe environment
0:01:19 > 0:01:22and it is the most wonderfully uplifting experience
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- that we all know. Yeah?- Yeah. - Oh, brilliant.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I'm in exactly that category, I wish I had the perfect voice.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I'm some way short.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Any of the Eggheads feel they would join this
0:01:31 > 0:01:33if they were in the Sutton Coldfield area?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Absolutely!- Yeah. Is there something you can sing for us?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Yes. One of our recent favourites.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It's hit the top of our playlist every week, so, yes,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44we'll be happy to sing that for you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48# We are sailing
0:01:48 > 0:01:52# We are sailing
0:01:52 > 0:01:56# Home again
0:01:56 > 0:01:59# Cross the sea
0:01:59 > 0:02:02# We are sailing
0:02:02 > 0:02:07# Stormy waters
0:02:07 > 0:02:11# To be near you
0:02:11 > 0:02:13# To be free. #
0:02:15 > 0:02:17That's great! I loved that.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18That sounded good to me.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20That sounded perfect.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Would you perform that in public?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Yes.- I suppose you just did!
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Our biggest audience yet, I think!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yeah. Well, it's brilliant. Thank you so much for that.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Is there any quizzing that's part of all this?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Once we knew we were coming on the show,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37we got together and went to a local quiz and we actually won it,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39so we're feeling positive for today.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Oh, that does sound very encouraging.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Good luck, Tuneless Tuesdays.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45I hope you win.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56So, team, the Eggheads have actually done rather well recently
0:02:56 > 0:02:58and they have won the last six games.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01So, £7,000 will be yours if you win.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- Wow.- Do you want to try?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Yes, please.- Great stuff.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11One of you needs to go in against Beth, Chris, Pat, Barry or Dave.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Do you want me to take it?- Yeah.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- I think you should take it. - Who shall I go with?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I think I'll take on...
0:03:18 > 0:03:19- ..Barry.- Very good.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22So, Melanie, Music is, I guess, the perfect,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24obvious round for you guys to do.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Melanie from Tuneless Tuesdays is taking on Barry from the Eggheads
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and he's musical - in your heart of hearts, aren't you?
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Even if it doesn't always come out right.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Totally!- Yeah! To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Melanie, as you're the choir leader, this is perfect, isn't it?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I hope so, but you never know!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48And you sang Rod Stewart's Sailing, there,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50but do you do more olde worlde stuff?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Do you do Mozart, do you do pop, what do you do?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55We do a whole range of different songs.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57We take requests and we do what the audience want, basically,
0:03:57 > 0:04:02so a whole range to suit everyone's tastes and ages and everything.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05And given the fact that you don't have to be tuneful all the time,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08do you ever tell anybody off for singing the wrong note?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Absolutely not, no.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- Kind of relieved to hear that!- Yeah.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Barry, we need to book ourselves a place in the choir, don't you?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I think I'd fit in quite well in this choir!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I've got three really good notes, but only three. That's the trouble.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22OK, music is your subject here, Melanie.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Would you like to go first or second?
0:04:24 > 0:04:25First, please.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32In which decade was the first Brit Awards ceremony held?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I don't think it would be as early as 1930.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Um...
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I don't think it would be the 1950s,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46so I'm going to go 1970s.
0:04:47 > 0:04:501970s is correct.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Barry, All That She Wants
0:04:53 > 0:04:56was a UK hit single in 1993 for which Swedish group?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01# All that she wants is another baby. #
0:05:01 > 0:05:03That was Ace Of Base.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05You're definitely in the choir.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06BARRY LAUGHS
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Ace Of Base is quite right.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11OK, your question, Melanie.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Who left the boyband Westlife in 2004?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22It was someone that I met at the golf course a couple of weeks ago,
0:05:22 > 0:05:23which was Brian McFadden.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26You met Brian McFadden on the golf course?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27I did. I'm not a golfer myself,
0:05:27 > 0:05:32but I went to a charity golf day and he happened to be there,
0:05:32 > 0:05:36so he's very nice and came over and shook our hands and we had photos.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- It was good.- Great!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- And, happily, Brian McFadden is the right answer.- Thank you.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Barry, "Simply because you're near me"
0:05:43 > 0:05:45is the second line of which famous song?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Well, I've sung once and I won't subject our audience
0:05:52 > 0:05:55to another time, but, "I'm in the mood for love,
0:05:55 > 0:05:56"simply because you're near me,"
0:05:56 > 0:05:58so it's I'm In The Mood For Love.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01"I'm in the mood for love, simply because you're near me,"
0:06:01 > 0:06:03quite right, well done.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Back to you, Melanie.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07The song Dancing On My Own provided which singer
0:06:07 > 0:06:10with a UK hit single in 2016?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I think I'm getting this mixed up with another one.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I don't think it would be Drake and I don't think it's Calum Scott.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I'm going to go with Justin Bieber.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The answer is Calum Scott.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27So, Barry, you have a chance to take the round.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30How would one normally play the musical instrument
0:06:30 > 0:06:31called the celesta?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39I think the celesta was first used by Tchaikovsky
0:06:39 > 0:06:41for the Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy
0:06:41 > 0:06:43and, if I recall, it's a keyboard instrument,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46so you'd press its keys.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Press its keys is quite right.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Three out of three for Barry. Sorry, Melanie!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Oh, no!
0:06:51 > 0:06:52He took you on the curve, there,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54so you're beaten by our Egghead and knocked out.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Please return to us, we'll play Round Two.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Well, Barry, we had a little bit of celesta and Tchaikovsky
0:07:01 > 0:07:03and you are pretty much right.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It was actually a year earlier that he used it first
0:07:05 > 0:07:09in 1891 in something called Voyevoda. Anyone know that?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- No.- It's almost like a musical poem that he did.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Then the following year, absolutely, Nutcracker, Sugar Plum Fairy,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18bang on, Barry. Well done.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20As it stands, Tuneless Tuesdays have lost a brain,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23sorry, Melanie, from the final round.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26That can happen. The Eggheads are all still sitting there
0:07:26 > 0:07:28and you need to get in amongst them now.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31The next subject is Film & TV.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Which Tuneless Tuesday would like this?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- I'll go.- Yeah.- I'll go.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38OK, Susan, our retired local Government officer
0:07:38 > 0:07:40against which Egghead, Susan?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Do you think Beth?- Beth.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44I'm not sure if Chris has got a TV.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Is it Chris who hasn't got a TV?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Chris hasn't got a TV?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Do you hear that? Have you got a TV?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Of course I've got a TV, yeah.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53JEREMY LAUGHS
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- I don't watch it, but I've got one. - He's taken umbrage, that's helpful.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57We'll have Chris, then, please.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59The more you annoy him, the better.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Susan from Tuneless Tuesdays taking on Chris,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04who has confirmed that he has got a TV.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06To ensure there's no conferring,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11OK, Film & TV, Susan.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Would you like to go first or second against Chris?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15First, please.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20And here we go with your first.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Which TV drama series, which originally ran between
0:08:23 > 0:08:291966 and 1969 was created by Gene Roddenberry?
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Susan, is this...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I know the name.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I'm trying to remember it coming up on credits,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41and I think the answer's Star Trek.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43That's the only one that fits with the dates, isn't it?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Yeah.- Star Trek is quite right.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Eggheads, did it then run...
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Were there new editions of Star Trek after that,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52or was it four years of programmes and that was it?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56The original series was relatively brief and then they came back
0:08:56 > 0:08:58and they had Star Trek: The Next Generation,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Deep Space Nine, Voyager.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Right. Chris, your question.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05In 2009, Tameka Empson first appeared as Kim Fox
0:09:05 > 0:09:07in which TV soap?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Not Corrie. I've lost track of Emmerdale completely,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16and I've never watched EastEnders in my life.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20So since I've never heard of the character, I'll go with EastEnders.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Good logic, Chris, you're right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23EastEnders it is.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- That's annoying, Susan, isn't it? - It is a bit.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Here's your question.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30In which of the Monty Python films does a Frenchman say,
0:09:30 > 0:09:35"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I don't think it was Life Of Brian,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I don't think there are any Frenchmen in that one.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46The Meaning Of Life, The Holy Grail...
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I'm going to go with The Holy Grail.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51The Holy Grail is quite right, yeah.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Chris, he had a castle under siege or something?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Yeah, "Hello? Who is it?"
0:09:56 > 0:09:59"It is I, Arthur, King of the Britons! Whose castle is this?"
0:09:59 > 0:10:02"It's the castle of my master, Guy de Lombard."
0:10:02 > 0:10:05"Well, go and tell your master if he'll give us food and shelter
0:10:05 > 0:10:08"for the night, he can join us in our quest for The Holy Grail."
0:10:08 > 0:10:11"Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13"He's already got one, you see."
0:10:13 > 0:10:15"He says they've got one!"
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Brilliant!- I'm not going to do the whole thing.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I forgot you knew every line of Monty Python.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Fantastic. OK, Chris, your question.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28What is the name of Jill St John's character in the 1971 Bond film
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Diamonds Are Forever?
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Chris, was it...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Well, Pussy Galore's in Goldfinger.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Plenty O'Toole and Tiffany Case are both in Diamonds Are Forever.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I think Jill St John was Tiffany Case.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Jill St John was Tiffany Case, you're right.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48OK, Susan, your third question.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51What is the occupation of Ryan Gosling's character
0:10:51 > 0:10:54in the 2016 musical La La Land?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I've seen the film, so I should know.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Erm...
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Jazz pianist.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Jazz pianist is the right answer.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Glad you got that right. Three out of three for you, well done.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11We go to Chris.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12To stay in, Chris,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16which composer won Bafta Awards for his soundtracks
0:11:16 > 0:11:21to Once Upon A Time In America, The Mission and The Untouchables?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Once Upon A Time In America, that was Ennio Morricone.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Ennio Morricone is quite right, so you've got three each.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34The scores are level and we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Susan, it gets a bit harder.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- I don't give you different options, OK?- OK.- Here we go.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Who plays the deceased title character in the 2016 film
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Swiss Army Man?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I can't say that I remember the film
0:11:47 > 0:11:49or know the film.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55No, sorry. Sorry, I just can't think of anything at all.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Ben Affleck.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59You're going to kick yourself here.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- It is Daniel Radcliffe.- Oh, God!
0:12:01 > 0:12:05You've got a brilliant connection, which you must say now,
0:12:05 > 0:12:06with Harry Potter.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Yeah, my sons James and Oliver
0:12:09 > 0:12:12played the Weasley twins in the Harry Potter films.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So yes, what a one to get wrong!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I thought I would leave that piece of information just to not hex us
0:12:19 > 0:12:21if Harry Potter came up in this round.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Oh, dear.- Did they enjoy it?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Yes, yes, they did.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Do they still love the fact that they've done it and all that?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Yes, and they're still working in the industry, so that's really good.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31It must have been great for you.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- It was.- An insight into some of the greatest films ever made.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I know. Didn't realise it at the time, but, yes, fantastic.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40All right, well, I'm sorry we've hit this question.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- That's very annoying.- It is, it is.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Daniel Radcliffe is the answer.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Oh...
0:12:45 > 0:12:47OK, Chris,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49you can actually take the round with this.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51"If you build it, he will come,"
0:12:51 > 0:12:54is a famous line from which 1989 baseball film
0:12:54 > 0:12:57starring Kevin Costner?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Isn't it, "If you build it, THEY will come"?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01It's Field Of Dreams.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02It's the correct quote.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- You got the answer right, but it's not "they", it's "he".- Is it?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Yeah, "If you build it, HE will come."
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Field Of Dreams is correct.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'm sorry, Susan, he's knocked you out,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13particularly with your family film pedigree,
0:13:13 > 0:13:14- that's very annoying.- It is, it is.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16You've been beaten by our Egghead, Chris,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19who has at least insisted he does have a television
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and quoted Monty Python, so we got some value out of him today.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24As a result, you won't be able to help your team in the final round.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Susan and Chris, please return to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33OK, so a little bit difficult here for Tuneless Tuesdays,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35you've lost two brains from the final round.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Don't worry, many have gone this way and won from this position,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41no question. The Eggheads are all still there
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and the next subject for you is Science.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Is Science good for you?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- We think so, yes.- I think it's me.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49OK, it's going to be Corinne.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Against which Egghead, Corinne?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I think I'll take Beth, please.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Brilliant, so it's going to be Corinne from Tuneless Tuesdays
0:13:55 > 0:13:58versus our own scientist, Beth from the Eggheads.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06So Science, Corinne, against Beth,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08would you like to go first or second?
0:14:08 > 0:14:09I'll go first, please.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14And here is your first question.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Onions largely make us cry because amino acids combine
0:14:18 > 0:14:21with which element they absorb from the soil?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I'll read it again.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Onions largely make us cry because amino acids combine
0:14:31 > 0:14:34with which element they absorb from the soil?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well, I wouldn't think we'd have much plutonium in the soil.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41And arsenic is poisonous.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44So, again, I don't think that would be in the soil.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46So I think I'll go with sulphur.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Sulphur is correct, well done.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Beth, your question.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53What is the common name for the flowering plant
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Hypericum perforatum which is believed to help with depression?
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Is it...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03It's St John's wort, Jeremy.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05St John's wort is quite right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Back to you, Corinne.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Which cat-like forest dweller
0:15:09 > 0:15:14is the largest carnivorous mammal native to Madagascar?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Is it...
0:15:19 > 0:15:22The lynx is definitely cat-like.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I haven't really heard of the other two.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Madagascar has its own animals.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30So I think I'll take a guess at thylacine.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Let's see if the Eggheads know. Eggheads?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33It's the fossa.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35The fossa's the answer, Corinne.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Beth has a chance to take the lead.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40In the human body, the thyroid gland secretes hormones
0:15:40 > 0:15:43that are primarily responsible for the regulation of what?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Is it...
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Yes, it's not blood pressure.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53It's not haemoglobin production.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Your thyroid is responsible for your metabolism.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Metabolism is quite right, Beth, well done.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01OK, Corinne, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Yeah.- Which mathematician and philosopher
0:16:04 > 0:16:07invented an arithmetic machine?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11An early calculator around 1642.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I trying to think...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I don't think it's Descartes.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Pascal did a lot on arithmetic
0:16:26 > 0:16:29and he had a triangle that had a lot to do with arithmetic.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I think I'm going to have a go for Blaise Pascal.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Blaise Pascal is the right answer.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Well done.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Beth, get this right, you're in the final.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44An electromyogram is a visual recording of the activity
0:16:44 > 0:16:46of which of the following?
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Anything with myo as a suffix is to do with your muscles.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Three out of three, Beth, well done. Muscles is the right answer.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Sorry, Corinne, that one wrong answer's had you knocked out.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Yeah.- Bad luck to you.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Knocked out by a fossa.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Come back to us, one more round to play.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13OK, the Tuneless Tuesdays have lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15We may have to deploy the singing again.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17That could be the next step.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21One more round before the final, and it's History.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23So it's going to be either Chris or the team captain.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25That'll be me, Jeremy.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28OK, Chris, our technical manager, against which Egghead,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Dave or Pat, in the middle? - I think we'll take Dave on.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Very good. So Chris from the Tuneless Tuesdays
0:17:33 > 0:17:36versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads, on History.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39For the last time, please go to our Question Room.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43So, Chris, first or second on History?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I'll go first again, please.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And here we go with your first question, good luck.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54What letter and number were used to name the doodlebug,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56flying bombs of World War II?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Well, a B-52 is a bomber
0:18:01 > 0:18:06and the F-15 is an American fighter, I believe.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09So the doodlebug was actually the V-1.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12It was, V-1 is right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Chris, anything you can tell us about the doodlebug?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Well, yeah, it was basically the first cruise missile.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Very crude affair with a ramjet engine.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24V stood for Vergeltungswaffen, or revenge weapon, number one,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27and by souping up a Spitfire or a Hawker Tempest,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29you could catch up with them,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31just get your wing tip under it and tip it over.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34That threw all the gyroscopes off and down it went.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37That's interesting. You could fly alongside it and give it a nudge?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Yeah.- It was called doodlebug cos it made a funny noise.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Yeah. Imagine a moped, basically.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44While you could hear the engine going,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46you know it wasn't going to come down on you.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49As soon as you heard it cut out, hit the deck.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50OK, Dave, your question.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Which name was given to the planks of wood laid down on trench floors
0:18:53 > 0:18:58in World War I to stop the soldiers sinking into the mud?
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Were these...
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Not heard of this at all.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I'm also having a major brain freeze, but I'm going to go
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- duckboards, please. - Duckboards is correct.
0:19:08 > 0:19:14Chris, King James IV of Scotland was killed at which battle in 1513?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23I think Culloden, I think, was Bonnie Prince Charlie...
0:19:25 > 0:19:28..and Bannockburn is the one that's sticking out.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29So I'm going to go for Bannockburn.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32OK. Famous Scottish battles, aren't they?
0:19:32 > 0:19:33- Dave, do you know?- Flodden.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Flodden is the answer, Chris.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38So Dave has a chance to take the lead with his second question.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43The First Indochina War, from 1946 to 1954,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47eventually saw the defeat of which country's occupying forces
0:19:47 > 0:19:48from that region?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54The country that I most associate with that area is France.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56That's my answer, France.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58France is right. You're in the lead.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00OK, Chris, you need this one to stay in.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04What was Julius Caesar's actual first name?
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Julius Caesar's actual first name.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Again, I'm not too sure on that.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Julius Caesar...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I think I'm going to go down the middle and I'm going to go Gaius.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Gaius is right, well done.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26And, Dave, you can take the round with this.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Which of these cities suffered a great fire in 1824?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Hmm. I've not heard of this at all.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40I should have done.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44So more than likely it would have to...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46redevelop.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Be built again.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Um...
0:20:51 > 0:20:56Tough one. I've not heard of this in anything at all.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01Again, not really with any basis, but I'll go Belfast.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I've not heard of this at all.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Any Eggheads know? Is it Belfast?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I think it might be Cardiff.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Cardiff, says Barry.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Anybody, Beth? No? Chris?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Edinburgh is the answer.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- I've never heard of that. - Level after three questions.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17A bit of a let-off there, Chris.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20So you need to press the opportunity here.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I don't give you multiple choice options. It gets a bit harder.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Chris, in 1959 history was made when the British Prime Minister
0:21:27 > 0:21:29at the time, Harold Macmillan,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33made a joint television broadcast with which US president?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36'59.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48Yes, I'm just trying to work out my presidents.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50We'll need a first name and a last name.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Erm...
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Truman, I'm going to go for.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Is it Harold Truman?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05So, Kennedy came in in '60, so it's the president before Kennedy,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07which is Dwight Eisenhower.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- OK.- Or Dwight D Eisenhower.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Yeah, I should have got that one.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14OK, Dave, your question for the round.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Which Prime Minister resigned due to ill health in 1957?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- 1957?- Yes.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Right.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Could you just repeat the question, please?
0:22:25 > 0:22:31Which British Prime Minister resigned due to ill health in 1957?
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Right. I think that was after the Suez crisis,
0:22:36 > 0:22:41so, just thinking carefully through it, I'm going to Anthony Eden.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Anthony Eden is your answer for the round.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46It's correct. Well done, Dave, you're in the final.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Chris, sorry, beaten by our Egghead and knocked out.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Come back to us, we'll play that final round for £7,000.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58OK, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00it is time from our final round,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02and, as always, it's General Knowledge -
0:23:02 > 0:23:04but those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:04 > 0:23:05can't take part in this round.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07So it's all from this side, I'm afraid.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10It's Melanie and Chris, Corinne and Susan
0:23:10 > 0:23:14from Tuneless Tuesdays, would you please now leave the studio.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Lisa, you are playing to win Tuneless Tuesdays £7,000.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Dave, Barry, Pat, Chris and Beth
0:23:21 > 0:23:23you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26the Eggheads' reputation, and to keep this run of yours going.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28It's looking impressive now.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34They're all General Knowledge, you may confer.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Sorry, that doesn't help you, Lisa, as the sole player -
0:23:37 > 0:23:39but the question for us all is,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42can you, with your one brain, defeat these five?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- And would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50OK, here we go.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53First General Knowledge question for you, Lisa, good luck.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56What is the approximate distance, as the crow flies,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59between New York and Los Angeles?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08I think...
0:24:08 > 0:24:121,450 miles is not enough to span America.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I'm going to go for 2,450.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21I am glad you did. It is 2,450, well done.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Eggheads, who was named
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Time magazine's official Person Of The Year 2016?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- That's Donald Trump.- Donald Trump. - It is, it's Donald Trump.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37It's based on the impact somebody has, and it's Donald Trump.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39We think that's Donald Trump.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Donald Trump is the right answer.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Back to you, Lisa.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45On a standard London Monopoly board,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47what colour is Oxford Street?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I haven't played it for many years.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Um...
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I think it's green.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Green is the right answer, well done.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Eggheads, which cricketer's 1976 autobiography
0:25:04 > 0:25:06was called Ball Of Fire?
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Right.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16It's 1976, Tony Greig is the... person around at that time.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Um...
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Now, ooft... - Ball Of Fire suggests a bowler.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23It could be Fred Trueman.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- PAT:- Len Hutton is known as a batsman.- Batsman, so Fred Trueman...
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Fred Trueman was known as Fiery Fred...
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Fiery Fred, yeah, so I'm moving more towards Fred Trueman.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I think it'd be Fred Trueman.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- PAT:- He was quite prominent, he was on TV.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yeah, I think, I think...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38That would work with the nickname.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- I'm happy with that. - On balance, Fred Trueman.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42OK? We don't know this,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44but we're going to try Fred Trueman.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Fred Trueman is the right answer.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Well done, Pat.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50So, two each.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53You're playing well, Lisa. Get this one right and that may be all the
0:25:53 > 0:25:55work you need to do today.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00In Greek mythology, which hero died after he was thrown from a cliff
0:26:00 > 0:26:02on the island of Skyros?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09I have to be honest and say I haven't got a clue.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Greek mythology's not my thing.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I'm going to take a guess
0:26:14 > 0:26:16and that guess is...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Perseus.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Perseus is your answer.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Let's see, Eggheads? - I think it was Theseus.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Theseus is correct.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29You can rarely catch Barry out on his mythology.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Because he was there.
