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 > 0:00:19..can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34- Feeling brainy?- Mm-hm.- Yeah. - I hope so.- Usually.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37And challenging our resident quiz champions today are
0:00:37 > 0:00:38the Sussex Harriers.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40This family team from Midhurst
0:00:40 > 0:00:42share a passion for running.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Ruth and I'm a management consultant.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm James and I'm a public health doctor.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Simon and I'm a business development manager.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Celia. I'm a senior practice nurse.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Ed and I'm an engineer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- So, Ruth and team, hello. - Hi, Jeremy.- Hello, Jeremy. - Nice to see you.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And Ruth, mainly, you're runners, is that right?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That's right.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Normally we enter events which test our physical endurance,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14but today we have gone for an event which is testing us mentally.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Good stuff. Tell us about the running first of all.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17What sort do you do?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20So we normally go for shorter distances,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24so 10km, but Ed actually has entered into an ultra,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26which is coming up this year.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27And what's an ultra?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30It's longer than a marathon, so it's actually...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32His one is two marathons in length.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35What?! You're going 56 miles?!
0:01:35 > 0:01:3756.2, I think.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Is it? What, in one go, without stopping?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Without stopping, hopefully.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Maybe a few breaks, but... - Is that humanly possible?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Well, lots of people do it, so...
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Well, tell us about the quizzing, Ruth. What's going on there?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51We've each quizzed, like, pub quizzes and things like that,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55but we've never actually tested all together, at the same time,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57but we cover quite a lot of topics,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00so we think we'll actually do all right, so...
0:02:00 > 0:02:04OK, good. Well, it's excellent to see you all. Good luck, Challengers.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Every day there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our challenging team.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12the prize money rolls over to the next show, as you know.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And Sussex Harriers, the Eggheads need to be stopped,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17cos they've won the last seven,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20so they're getting that slightly smug look about them.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And that means there's £8,000 for you to win today.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Would you like to try?- Yes, please.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32You can choose Judith, Chris, Pat, Barry or Steve.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Well, Dad, you were going for this one, weren't you?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I think by process of elimination, yes, nobody else is coming forward.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41HE CHUCKLES
0:02:41 > 0:02:42I am that volunteer.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44OK. Simon, against which Egghead?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Steve knows everything. Let's take him out early.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49OK. Let's go for Steve, then.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK. Good thought, actually. He does know a lot.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Simon from the Sussex Harriers taking on Steve from the Eggheads,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57and just to ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Well, Simon, I know the stakes are high here, because this is a family team, isn't it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08And I'm kicking off. Opening the batting here.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Right, you're on History, Simon, against Steve,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12and would you like to go first, or second?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I think I will bat first on this one.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Here we go. Good luck.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22David Lloyd George became UK Prime Minister in what year?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Was this...
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Ah.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I'm pleased with this question,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36because I know the answer to this one.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I knew it before you gave me the options, so...
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Yes, Lloyd George took over -
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I think it was from Asquith - in 1916.
0:03:44 > 0:03:461916 is correct.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Steve, your question. The US civil rights leader
0:03:48 > 0:03:53born Malcolm Little adopted what letter in place of his surname?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57That's X, Jeremy.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59X is correct. Malcolm X.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Back to you, Simon.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05The Roman road, the Fosse Way, ran from Exeter in the south
0:04:05 > 0:04:07to which city at its northern end?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I think it's the A38, isn't it?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'm tempted to go Lincoln.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I don't think it went as far as Newcastle.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I'm going to stick with my first gut reaction and go with Lincoln.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Lincoln is your answer.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Let's see. Eggheads, is he right?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Yeah.- Lincoln is the correct answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Well done to you.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Puts Steve under a bit of pressure here.
0:04:31 > 0:04:37The Mamluks, the rulers of Egypt and Syria from 1250 to 1517,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41derive their name from the Arabic for what?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Mamluks.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Yeah. I don't actually know from the word,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51but I've got a feeling that they were slaves of the Egyptians
0:04:51 > 0:04:54who then overthrew them to become the rulers.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57So, purely on the basis of that, I will say slave.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Very good quizzing, you're right. Slave it is.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03OK, Simon, back to you.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Third question. In which country did Johann Friedrich Struensee,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10the royal physician, become the queen's lover
0:05:10 > 0:05:13and take effective control of the kingdom?
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Ooh...
0:05:18 > 0:05:20This is a baffler, Jeremy.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I feel as though Netherlands and Denmark,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24they didn't have territories of note.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm going to go the Austro-Hungarian type feel to it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29So I'm going to go with Austria.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's Denmark.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- Oh, dear.- Which gives Steve clear sight of a seat in the final round.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Which of these African nations
0:05:38 > 0:05:40received its independence from the UK first?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Choose between...
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I know Uganda and Kenya were in the '60s, but when was Egypt?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Don't know.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Try Kenya.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Uganda and Kenya were in the '60s, Steve.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Egypt was 1922.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Right.- So it was even before the Second World War.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- Yeah.- So that's a let-off for you, Simon.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Equal after three questions.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- I'm back in it.- Back in it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Sudden Death, now, though.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Gets a bit harder. I don't give you multiple-choice options.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Which Scottish Protestant reformer,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18born at Giffordgate in Haddington around 1514,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22and author of The History Of The Reformation In Scotland,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26described Mary Tudor as the "English Jezebel"?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I don't know many Scottish reformers.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31There is nothing coming to mind.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I will say...being pushed, it cannot be him,
0:06:36 > 0:06:37but William Wallace.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38OK. Steve, do you know?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Is it John Knox? - John Knox is the right answer.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Oh, yes. That makes sense.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44OK, Steve, for the round.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49French protestants were deprived of all religious and civil liberties by
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Louis XIV's revocation of which document on October 18, 1685?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Right. I know what I want to say, I'm just...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02The Edict Of Nantes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05The Edict Of Nantes is quite right. Well done. You've taken the round.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Sorry, Simon. Knocked out in Sudden Death.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- They are good, these Eggheads, aren't they?- They're very good.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I wouldn't have got that one, either.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14So I think I have lost to the better man here.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15That's very sporting of you.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Return to us, return to your family, and we'll see what happens next.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23So, as stands, the Sussex Harriers
0:07:23 > 0:07:25have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Good round, though. The Eggheads have not lost any,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30and the next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32So, Ruth and team, who wants this?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Oh...- Arts & Books.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35That was the one we were trying to avoid.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Really? I don't believe it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Yeah.- I don't believe it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Is it me?- It's yours, yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Mother, I think that's yours.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Choose an Egghead, Celia. Who do you want to take on?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Maybe... Let's try Judith. Let's try Judith.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Judith.- OK.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Celia from the Sussex Harriers
0:07:51 > 0:07:53versus Judith from the Eggheads on Arts & Books,
0:07:53 > 0:07:55and please go to the Question Room.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Arts & Books, Celia. Do you want to go first, or second?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I think I'll go first, Jeremy, please.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07All right, good luck. Here we go.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11The author Agatha Christie was born in which century?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I think she was born in the...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Er, 19th century.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Let's just see. Eggheads, help us?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Start with when she died, Eggheads.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27I think it was 1976.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28So '76, OK.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30As she was in her 80s when she died?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Yes.- So that takes us back.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Well done, Celia, to the 19th century.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Absolutely right. 1890 in fact.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Judith, which of these artists is best known for working with paint?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Barbara Hepworth is a sculptress.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Damien Hirst spent his life chopping up calves and pickling sharks.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58So Jackson Pollock was well-known for rolling about in paint.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Jackson Pollock is quite right, well done.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Back to you, Celia.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Which female author set her 2012 novel NW
0:09:05 > 0:09:07in northwest London?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Um...
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I...don't think it was Margaret Atwood.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20And I don't know Anne Enright, which is probably dreadful.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I think I will go Zadie Smith.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Well done. Zadie Smith is right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Good play.- Gosh!
0:09:27 > 0:09:29OK, Judith, your question.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Who is the narrator of the 1955 Nabokov novel Lolita?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Oh, that is Humbert Humbert. - It is Humbert Humbert.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Yeah.- OK, Celia.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Which abstract dance choreographer had a long-standing professional and
0:09:48 > 0:09:53romantic partnership with the avant-garde musician John Cage?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Gosh, I haven't... This is a real guess.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Um...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I think I will go George Balanchine.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I don't know why.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08But I'm going that way.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Let's just see. Eggheads, help us?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Merce Cunningham. - Merce Cunningham is the answer.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Celia, this gives Judith a chance
0:10:15 > 0:10:17to take the round on Arts & Books.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Your third question, Judith.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23What metaphor for the divide between the USA and Mexico
0:10:23 > 0:10:26forms the title of a 1995 novel by TC Boyle?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37The one I like the best - and I really don't know,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40cos it could really be any of them, I think -
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I just like the idea of the Tortilla Curtain,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45so I'm going to say the Tortilla Curtain.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I guess it echoes the Iron Curtain,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49which is a Churchill phrase, wasn't it?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Maybe that's the thing that's going on here.- Yeah.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54The Tortilla Curtain is quite right.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- It is?! - Gives you three out of three.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Sorry, Celia.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Beaten by our Egghead and, as a result, not in the final round.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05So Celia and Judith, please return to your teams.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10OK, this is tricky now for the Sussex Harriers.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12They have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14The Eggheads are still all sitting there.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Running shoes on now.- Yeah. - All right, this is the key moment.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20And Music is your subject.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So who would like this?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Well, there is not many of us...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26LAUGHTER
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Ruth, James or Ed?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31You and Ed have strengths in other rounds, don't you?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- As well, so...- So you're going to sacrifice yourself?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Yeah, I think it's... - Well, let's not talk like that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Our captain is there.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Well, she can still control strategy even if she's out,
0:11:43 > 0:11:44but she may well not be.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Find an Egghead. You can have Barry, Pat or Chris.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49I was thinking maybe Barry.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Barry looks as though he could have been a Bay City Roller in his time.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54THEY CHUCKLE
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- That's true enough. - That is true.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57- Yeah. Go for Barry.- OK.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Cos I'm sure there won't be any Bay City Roller questions.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02OK, I'll go for Barry, then.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Ruth from the Sussex Harriers versus Barry,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07who struggles with hip-hop, it's true, from the Eggheads.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- So, Ruth, you took Music. - Yes, I did.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16And is that because it is your passion?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I follow a little bit of music,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21but I wouldn't say I'm an expert on the subject.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Good stuff. Well, good luck on Music against our Barry,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26and would you like to go first, or second?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I'd like to go first, please.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33And here is your first question, Ruth. Good luck.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Which of these girl groups was not formed on a television talent show?
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Well, Girls Aloud definitely was formed on a talent show.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'm pretty sure it was the Sugababes,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54which wasn't formed on a TV show.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Just because I...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Like, Little Mix is a little bit too, um...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01..too modern, if that makes sense.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I don't think the Sugababes were, so I'm going to go with Sugababes.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I hope I've got that right.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11You're absolutely right. Sugababes is the right answer.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Here's your question, Barry.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Which artist won the Mercury Music Prize in 2013
0:13:16 > 0:13:18with his album Overgrown?
0:13:22 > 0:13:252013? I'm trying to remember when James Blunt
0:13:25 > 0:13:27came to the fore.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Was it more than three years?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Three years?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33No, I'm going to go for James Blunt.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35OK. Steve's got his head in his hands.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37James Blunt.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39When you say came to the fore, it was over ten years ago.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40- Was it?- Yeah.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Goodness me, how time flies!
0:13:42 > 0:13:44James Blake is the answer.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46So you've messed up very slightly there, Barry.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Ruth, this is good, now.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50We've got a little bit of daylight.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53We can see our way through to the final. Hang on in there.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Which song was the subject of a legal case in 2015,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01which ruled that royalties no longer needed to be paid for its use?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10So...um...
0:14:10 > 0:14:13As far as I'm aware, Happy Birthday To You
0:14:13 > 0:14:16is not a royalties song.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20It's whether we go for the funeral or the wedding, isn't it?
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Um...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I am trying to think of, like, things which I've actually seen
0:14:24 > 0:14:27in movies now and how often you actually hear
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Here Comes The Bride in movies with weddings in them,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33and you don't hear it very often.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37So...for that reason, I think I'll go for Here Comes The Bride.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Here Comes The Bride.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I know why you have done that, but it's wrong.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43It's actually the one you ruled out.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Oh!- Happy Birthday To You.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Barry, your question.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50In musical notation, what term is used to indicate
0:14:50 > 0:14:52that a piece should be played fairly loud?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I always thought forte was loud,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01so mezzoforte must mean fairly loud.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Mezzoforte is fairly loud.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Back to you, Ruth.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Your third question. You're equal.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12When they were formed, which of these bands had the most members?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Because I felt like The White Stripes had three or four,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21which doesn't sound like that many.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Um, Black Keys, I haven't heard of.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26And Simply Red...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I think that's quite a low number, but I could be completely wrong.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I going to go with the one I actually know,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33so I'm just going to go with The White Stripes.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36OK. The White Stripes are an unusual band,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38because they only have two people in it.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Oh!- So the guitarist is Jack White,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44the Black Keys also had two.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46So it's Simply Red with six.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Oh. OK.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- OK?- Yeah.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51So, Barry, you have a chance here to take the round
0:15:51 > 0:15:52with this question.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Although his birthplace was in Germany,
0:15:54 > 0:15:59the composer Johannes Brahms spent much of his life and died
0:15:59 > 0:16:01in which city?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Now this is a question. So I should know the answer immediately.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10And yet I don't.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12So this is interesting.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I wouldn't mind, but he's one of my favourite composers as well,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17so I am amazed that I don't know this.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20But I have something at the back of my head that says Brahms lived his
0:16:20 > 0:16:24last years in France, so I'm going to go for Paris.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I thought you would do this one in your sleep.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- And you got it wrong!- Oh!
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- It is Vienna.- Oh...!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32So...that's so unusual, because...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34What is happening today?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36That is... That's the sort of question you love.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40So one out of three for you both. We go to Sudden Death.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Ruth, here we go. I don't give you options here.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45OK.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Benny and Bjorn were the male members of which chart-topping band?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Oh, I think that's Hanson.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52- Hanson?- Yeah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- No, no, it's Abba. - Oh! Whoops!
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Barry, for the round. Which number
0:16:59 > 0:17:02follow the words "Heaven" and "East"
0:17:02 > 0:17:06in the names of hit bands of the 1980s and '90s?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Goodness me, one I actually do know!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10It must be...
0:17:10 > 0:17:11..17.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Heaven 17 and East 17. Well done, you are right, Barry. It is 17.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Sorry, Ruth.- I apologise, Ruth.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18I don't feel I deserved to win this.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22So come back to us. We've got one more round to play.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26The Sussex Harriers have lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30This is the moment now to get an Egghead out.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32And it is Sport.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33So who would like Sport?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35You're very sporty, all of you.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Yeah, I'm very happy to go for it. - Ed on Sport? OK.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Against which Egghead? And you've got either Pat or Chris.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- I will take on Chris, please. - Good stuff. Chris likes sport.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47"Chris likes sport", one of the great fallacies of the 21st century.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49LAUGHTER
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I wanted to see how you'd react to that.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Ed from the Sussex Harriers versus Chris from the Eggheads,
0:17:54 > 0:17:55who may or may not like sport.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58To ensure there is no conferring, please, for the last time,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00take your positions.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04On Sport, Ed, would you like to go first, or second?
0:18:04 > 0:18:05First, please, Jeremy.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13All right, good luck. Which of these football stadiums is furthest south?
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Er, I should get this one.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Old Trafford is Manchester, so...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Anfield's Liverpool, whilst White Hart Lane is in London,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26so I'll go White Hart Lane.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29White Hart Lane, the home of Spurs, is in London.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Well done. OK. Chris.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36In 1996, the rower Steve Redgrave memorably said
0:18:36 > 0:18:38that anyone who saw him go anywhere near a boat again
0:18:38 > 0:18:41had his permission to do what?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Er, yes, he'd had a bellyful of the whole business, hadn't he?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49So he said anybody who sees him go near a boat again
0:18:49 > 0:18:52had his permission to shoot him.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Shoot him is correct.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Back to you, Ed. At the Sochi Winter Olympics,
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Jenny Jones became the first Briton to win an Olympic medal
0:19:00 > 0:19:02in which event?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07I think this was...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09She was a trick boarder,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11so I think snowboarding.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Yeah, well done, snowboarding is right.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Chris, in American football,
0:19:15 > 0:19:20the winners of the Super Bowl are awarded what type of jewellery?
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Do you know, I haven't a clue?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Since they are the most unisex of the three,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31and Americans do tend to go in for wearing that sort of thing,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I would say a ring. Rings.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Rings is right, actually.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Yeah. I thought you might go bracelets, there.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39OK, two each.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Ed, back to you. This can be important,
0:19:41 > 0:19:42this third question.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46In December 2016, AB de Villiers stepped down as Test captain
0:19:46 > 0:19:48for the South African cricket team
0:19:48 > 0:19:50to be replaced by which player?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59My dad would know this one. So that's...
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I don't think it is Vernon Philander.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06It was when Jacques Kallis had retired then...
0:20:06 > 0:20:08What year was it, sorry?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10In December 2016.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11December 2016...
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Oh, I think Jacques Kallis had retired then,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16so I'll do du Plessis.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Let's see whether Simon does know it. Is he right?
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Faf du Plessis, yes, definitely.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Faf du Plessis is quite right. Your father has confirmed it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25So you got three out of three on Sport. That's really good.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Now, can you stay in, Chris?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Prior to his retirement in 2012,
0:20:30 > 0:20:34how many times did Stephen Hendry win the World Snooker Championship?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Quite a lot.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42But not that many.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Five.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Quite a lot but not that many is five, is it?- Mm-hm.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Eggheads?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Seven.- Seven is the answer, Chris. You've been knocked out.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Well done. Maybe the tide is turning for our Challengers?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Ed, you've taken on an Egghead and emerge triumphant.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58You will be in the final round.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01And gentlemen, if you both come back, we will play it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05So this is what we have been playing towards,
0:21:05 > 0:21:09it is time for our final round, as always, General Knowledge.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:11 > 0:21:13but not be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16So, Ruth, Simon and Celia from the Sussex Harriers,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18and also Chris from the Eggheads,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26James and Ed, you are playing to win the Sussex Harriers £8,000.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Steve, Barry, Pat and Judith,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39You can confer.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41So, Sussex Harriers, the question is
0:21:41 > 0:21:45can your two brains defeat these four super-sized ones?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47And would you like to go first, or second?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54All right, good luck. You can do this, guys.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Do it for the Harriers.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59First question, on which day of the week does the Queen traditionally
0:21:59 > 0:22:01distribute money to pensioners?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I don't know too much about this one
0:22:09 > 0:22:13but what is the meaning of each one, each day?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15So, I've got this memory of, when we were younger,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18you would go out on the street and people would be spreading pennies
0:22:18 > 0:22:21on the street, but I can't remember whether it was...
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- So you've got... - What day was associated with it?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Good Friday is the bank holiday, so would it be that one?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Well, it would be...
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I mean, that's Jesus's death, isn't it?
0:22:32 > 0:22:33So it'd probably be unlikely to...
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Give out pennies on that day, because it is like a mourning day.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You wouldn't be in the streets, that's what I'm saying.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41You wouldn't be in the street.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42I think we should go down the middle.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Down the middle it is, then.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50We will go with Maundy Thursday.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Right. Let's just check with your parents.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Are you relieved back there?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Yes.- Yes, we are.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Maundy Thursday it is.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Oh, my goodness.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01That was close to disaster there.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Well done.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I don't know what the logic was there, but it worked for you.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Eggheads, in the Superman comics,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12what is the occupation of Superman's love interest Lois Lane?
0:23:15 > 0:23:16- Reporter?- I think she is a reporter.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Isn't she?- Definitely.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19- I think so.- For the Daily Planet.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23We think she is a reporter.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Reporter is correct.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26One each. Back to you, Challengers.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30In which year did Samuel Cody
0:23:30 > 0:23:34make the first controlled powered flight in Britain?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Controlled powered flight.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43So...
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Did they have them in the World War?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46That is what I was thinking.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48For them to have been in the First World War, it'd have to be 1908.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Yeah. That's what I would agree.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53They had planes in the First World War, didn't they?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I would think so.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- I guess so.- 1908?- Yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58We'll go with 1908.
0:23:58 > 0:24:001908 is the right answer.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Well done. The next question is for the Eggheads.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Which of these computer games was released first?
0:24:11 > 0:24:12- Donkey Kong.- No idea.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Donkey Kong is the late '70s, I think.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15- Well, it's early '80s.- Early '80s.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Yeah.- I can remember at university,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I saw it on a little...
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Sonic's much later.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Grand Theft Auto is most recent.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Did Donkey Kong turn into Super Mario?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Yeah, eventually.- That were a character in it. Jumpman...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- He became... - So it's definitely Donkey Kong.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Yeah, a gorilla.- I've got Donkey Kong for the Atari, so I know...
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Throwing barrels at a target. - Yeah, yeah.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36We think that's Donkey Kong.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Donkey Kong is the right answer.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I was wondering when you'd ever get a gaming question.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I think one of those is going to trip you up one day.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45OK, so it's two each.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47We're playing for £8,000 here.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Here we go. In Scottish mythology,
0:24:50 > 0:24:55the creature known as the selkie takes which form when in the water?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58And this is S-E-L-K-I-E.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06All I know is that the kelpie is a horse.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I don't know about the selkie.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12If it's mythology, then maybe more of a serpent.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I would... Serpent was my first thought.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Salmon and seals aren't really mythological
0:25:20 > 0:25:21kind of creatures, are they?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Yeah. Let's go with serpent, then, shall be?- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28We will go with serpent, please.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30And where are you from originally, James?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I'm from Edinburgh. Along the road.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Edinburgh, so you would know.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36THEY LAUGH
0:25:36 > 0:25:37- Eggheads?- It's a seal.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- A seal.- Seal is the answer.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44The Eggheads can end it with this question if they get it right.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47A boy named Hogarth is a central character
0:25:47 > 0:25:50in which work of children's literature?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Hogarth.- It's not Northern Lights. - It's not Northern Lights.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Not Northern Lights at all. - It's not Northern Lights.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02I've watched The Iron Man
0:26:02 > 0:26:05and I don't remember the kid being called Hogarth.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06And I've not read Stig Of The Dump.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I'd go Stig Of The Dump.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09I'd be inclined for Stig Of The Dump.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10I don't know for definite.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I've nothing to base it on.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13I think... Yes.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16From what Steve says about it not being in The Iron Man...
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Don't take what I say as gospel,
0:26:18 > 0:26:19by any means.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's definitely not Northern Lights.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- OK.- Yeah. - We're pretty unsure here, Jeremy.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28But we are hoping it's Stig Of The Dump.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I don't know what you were watching when looking at Ted Hughes,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32cos...Hogarth is in there.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33It's The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- Sorry, team.- Oh, dear.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38So you're two each after three questions.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39£8,000 you're playing for.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41And we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternative options.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Here's your question. Tyger Drew Honey,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Daniel Roach and Ramona Marquez
0:26:48 > 0:26:52found fame playing the children in which TV comedy series?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Tyger Drew Honey.- Is it called...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Sounds like American names, does it? - Yeah, true.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Is it like The Cosbys, or something?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Oh, I was thinking of English comedies.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05They don't sound like British names.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07No.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- No, I haven't got anything. - What shall we go for?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13What was your answer?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16The only thing I could think of was The Cosbys, but I don't know.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Let's go with that, then.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19OK. We'll go with The Cosbys.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21The Cosbys is your answer.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Eggheads, do you know? - Outnumbered.- Outnumbered.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Outnumbered. Closer to home.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- I would never have got that. - Closer to home.- OK.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Eggheads, you can take the contest with this.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Which man who went on to be President of France
0:27:32 > 0:27:34married Yvonne Vendroux in 1921?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Oh, de Gaulle.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Yes, Yvonne was Yvonne de Gaulle.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Dates fit - yeah.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43We think that's Charles de Gaulle.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46All right. We have been playing for £8,000 here.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48If you have got it right, the contest is over.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50The correct answer is Charles de Gaulle.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54You are right, and we say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:28:00 > 0:28:02They gave you a bit of daylight.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- They did.- The first three questions. - We had a chance.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Needed a right answer there. I am really sorry.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09You played well and you got them to Sudden Death in the final.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Commiserations to the Sussex Harriers.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13It has been lovely to see you all. Thank you for coming.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17this winning streak continues.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19It's really quite impressive now.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21It does mean that the Challengers do not go home with the £8,000,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Eggheads, congrats. Who will beat you?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:29 > 0:28:31have the brains, finally, to defeat them.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33We're heading towards a five-figure jackpot.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36There is £9,000 to play for next time.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
