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 > 0:00:19The question is - 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 > 0:00:34Taking on our quiz champions today are...
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Plumming the Depths from Cardiff.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Team captain Nicki has assembled some of the best quizzers
0:00:39 > 0:00:42she knows in an attempt to defeat the Eggheads.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hello, I'm Nicki and I'm a freelance journalist and radio presenter.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Trisha and I'm a retired adult education tutor.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Will and I'm a PhD student.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Hannah and I'm a genetics student.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Richard and I'm a landscape conservation manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- So, Nicki and team, hello. ALL:- Hello!- Great to see you.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05And, Nicki, of course, we've met before, haven't we?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- We have, Jeremy, yes. - For Make Me An Egghead...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Yes.- ..in which you did very, very well indeed,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11because you are definitely a quizzer.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Thank you.- Have you quizzed since we last saw each other?
0:01:14 > 0:01:19I have, yes, on several occasions, yeah, in our local pub.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Great. And the pub is crucial here, because the pub is called
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- the Plum Tree.- It is, yeah. A lovely little pub
0:01:24 > 0:01:27in Canton in Cardiff and they do a lovely Thursday night...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Wednesday night quiz, as well.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32The name Plum Tree has given you plumming with two Ms.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34It has, yeah!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37You know, because of the Plum Tree where we quiz and also,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40we are going to plumb the depths of our brains
0:01:40 > 0:01:41for the right answers, hopefully.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Which is always, always a good policy.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Well, listen, it's brilliant to see you again, Nicki.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47- Thank you.- Fantastic for us.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49And I wish you all the best.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56However, if the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00So, Nicki and Plumming The Depths,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02the Eggheads have actually won the last eight,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04so they are playing well,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06but that's quite good, because it
0:02:06 > 0:02:08means there's a jackpot of £9,000.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Shall we go for it? - Let's go for it.- Excellent.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts and Books.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18And you can choose between Judith, Chris, Pat, Barry and Steve.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Right.- What do we think?- OK, well, Trish is our arts and books lady.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Yeah.- Yeah, I think...
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Who shall I...?- Trisha, right. - Who shall I challenge?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Um...- Who do you want to take on? - Chris.- Chris?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Oh, right.- Yeah.- OK, Nicki is a brilliant strategist, I know that.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Trisha from Plumming The Depths is going to take on Chris from the
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Eggheads on Arts and Books.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Good for you, Chris? - Pretty good, yeah.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45would you please go to our famous Question Room?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Trisha, Arts and Books.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please, Jeremy.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57And here is your first question, Trisha. Good luck.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Launched in 1926, Amazing Stories was an American magazine
0:03:01 > 0:03:04specialising in which genre?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Well, I don't actually know the answer.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I think it's unlikely to have been war.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I'm tending towards science fiction,
0:03:16 > 0:03:21so I think I'm going to say science fiction.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Science fiction is correct.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Well done.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Chris, surrealism was an art movement that first came
0:03:27 > 0:03:30to prominence in the years following which conflict?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Well, surrealism surfaced in, well, actually during World War I,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41but it came to prominence after World War I.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44World War I is correct.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Trisha, back to you. Which of these materials did the Austrian painter
0:03:47 > 0:03:53Gustav Klimt attach to the canvas in several of his most famous works?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01I don't remember seeing anything with sheet music on it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08And I think brass rings would have made the picture
0:04:08 > 0:04:10stick out more prominent.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So I think I'm going to go for gold leaf.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Yes, gold leaf is quite right, Trisha. Well done.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Chris, what is the name of the UK arts organisation that was formed in
0:04:20 > 0:04:231909 to promote a more general recognition
0:04:23 > 0:04:26and appreciation of poetry?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Well, the only one of those I've heard of is The Poetry Society.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Which would make sense, so that's the answer.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Yeah. I suppose it's almost too obvious,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41but it is the correct answer - The Poetry Society.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Two each. Trisha, over to you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49The British designer Abram Games is most celebrated
0:04:49 > 0:04:51for his work in which area?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55It's a really...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I really don't know the name at all.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Erm...
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I think I'm going to go for ceramics.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Let's just see. Nicki, do you know this one?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I might be inclined to say posters, because it's at least...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11It's the one I've heard of the least, but only...
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- I don't know.- Yeah. Well, you're absolutely right.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Oh!- Posters is the answer.- Oh, no.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21And, Chris, you can take the round with this.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Which Irish writer's mother was an authority on Celtic myth and wrote
0:05:25 > 0:05:29poetry under the pseudonym Speranza?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Erm, well, it wasn't Oscar Wilde.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38And I don't think it was James Joyce,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41but the one who was into the whole sort of Celtic myth bit
0:05:41 > 0:05:43was WB Yeats, so WB Yeats.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Well, yeah, he was, but this is about the person's mother.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48In this case, it was Oscar Wilde.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Was it?- Yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53How about that, Trisha? Got let off there.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56That's good. A little celebration for your team.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58So, it goes to Sudden Death because you're equal after three.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00It gets a bit harder, Trisha, as well.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I don't give you multiple-choice options.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Here we go. In 1936, Dale Carnegie released his best selling
0:06:06 > 0:06:09self-help book, How To Win Friends And...What?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Influence People.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Influence People is quite right.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Chris, to stay in, which novel by HG Wells begins with a mysterious man,
0:06:18 > 0:06:23his face hidden by bandages, walking into an inn in west Sussex?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25That's The Invisible Man, Jeremy.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Invisible Man is right.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Trisha, the Kentucky Derby Is Decadent And Depraved
0:06:29 > 0:06:31and Freak Power In The Rockies
0:06:31 > 0:06:35are the titles of two pieces in The Great Shark Hunt,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37a 1979 collection of articles,
0:06:37 > 0:06:42by which American journalist and counterculture icon?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Oh, dear. Erm...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Sorry, guys. This is going to be a bit of a guess now.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Er...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52James Thurber?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54No, it's Hunter S Thompson.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Chris, for the round -
0:06:58 > 0:07:00What type of factory did Iain Banks write about
0:07:00 > 0:07:02for his first novel?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04That was called The Wasp Factory.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Published in 1984. It was The Wasp Factory.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Well done, Chris. You've done it on Sudden Death.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Trisha, beaten by our Eggheads, sorry.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14You won't be in the final round, but it's early days.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Please return to us and we'll play Round Two.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20So, as it stands, Plumming The Depths
0:07:20 > 0:07:22have lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The Eggheads are all still there.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25And the next subject is Geography.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27So, Nicki and team... THEY GROAN
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Geography, is that good?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Difficult.- It was, but we've used up our first reserve in Geography...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- How annoying. - ..because it was going to be Trish.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Richard is keen.- Yeah. - Rich, do you want to do Geography?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- I'll do Geography, yeah. - OK, Richard.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Brilliant.- Against which Egghead? Anyone but Chris.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Well, who would you like, Rich? You're playing.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Let's go for Steve.- Yeah?- OK.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Richard from Plumming The Depths taking on Steve from the Eggheads
0:07:52 > 0:07:53on Geography.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Well, I'm thinking, you're a landscape conservation manager,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Richard, so geography probably is the kind of thing.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Yes. I mean, I've spent a lot of time travelling around the world,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10looking at different places, like Borneo and China
0:08:10 > 0:08:14and South America, so, yeah. It's my favourite subject.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Brilliant. So, you're up against Steve.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Geography is the topic. Would you like to go first, or second?
0:08:19 > 0:08:20I'll go second.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Steve, you therefore have the first question and here it is...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30For what does the letter D stand in the name of the African country
0:08:30 > 0:08:33abbreviated to DRC?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's Democratic, Jeremy.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Democratic is correct.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Democratic Republic of the Congo.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Have you been there, Richard? - I haven't.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I've been quite close in Uganda, but not actually into the country.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Here's your question...
0:08:48 > 0:08:52In which English county is the town of Leighton Buzzard located?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Er, well, it's not from Kent,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01because that's where I'm from and I'm pretty certain it's not Cumbria,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03so I will go for Bedfordshire.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Bedfordshire is correct. Well done.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Steve, which of these ski resorts is in Austria?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I think the Zermatt and Davos are Swiss,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18so on the basis of that, I will say Kitzbuhel.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Kitzbuhel is the right answer. Well done.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Richard, San Juan is the capital of which island?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Er, well, I was watching West Side Story recently,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36where the name came up, and I think that was Puerto Rico.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Good quizzing. You're right.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Clutch at anything to get the answer.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43That's the way to do it, that's the way they do it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Puerto Rico is correct.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Steve, the Padma on which the city of Rajshahi is situated
0:09:50 > 0:09:53is a major river in which country?
0:09:53 > 0:09:54P-A-D-M-A.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Erm... Really struggling here, I'm afraid.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Erm... I will guess at Sri Lanka.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Oh, interesting. Bangladesh is the answer.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Right.- Get this right, you're in the final, Richard,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15and you will have levelled it up.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Here we go. The south base camp used by climbers on ascents of
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Mount Everest, located in Nepal, is at approximately what altitude?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Er, well, it's not going to be 2,000 feet,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35because that's a bit too low.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40My thinking is it's sort of somewhere up towards 5,000 metres,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43which I think roughly works out about 17,000 feet,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46so I'm going to go for 17,000 feet.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48And you've just knocked out Steve.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Well done, 17,000 feet it is.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Very confident play from Richard.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Should've been your first choice for geography there, Nicki.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Yeah.- My goodness, he's the perfect person.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Yeah.- Well done, you've taken on an Egghead and you've booked your
0:10:58 > 0:11:01place in the final and knocked him out at the same time.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Please return to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Well, this is rather good, Nicki, isn't it?- Happy now, yeah!
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Happy now. Plumming The Depths have lost one brain from the final round
0:11:12 > 0:11:13but the Eggheads have also lost one,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16so we're absolutely level going into Round Three,
0:11:16 > 0:11:17which is Film and TV.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Oh! Oh, my word. - Shall I do it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- OK, um, Will? - Yeah. I'll give it a go, yeah.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- I'll take it on.- OK, good.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Will, our PhD student, against which Egghead?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Barry, Pat or Judith?- Pat?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32If you think so. I'm willing to defer to your judgment here, Nicki.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Yeah, Pat. - Pat? Pat.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38OK, lovely. Will from Plumming The Depths is going to try and catch Pat
0:11:38 > 0:11:40off-guard from the Eggheads.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Good luck here on Film and TV.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Do you want to go first or second, Will?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Richard did well going second, but I'll go first.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Here we go. What do Michael Caine and his gang attempt to steal
0:11:58 > 0:12:02a shipment of in the 1969 film The Italian Job?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Right, I'm pretty sure I think I know this.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11I hope it's right.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'm going to go for gold... Gold bullion.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Gold bullion is quite right. Well done. Well done.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23Great film. Pat, which writer does Johnny Depp play in the 2004 film
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Finding Neverland?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33I think the Neverland is a reference to Peter Pan and I think the author
0:12:33 > 0:12:35is JM Barrie.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38JM Barrie is quite right.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39OK, over to you, Will.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Which actor's earlier career included starring
0:12:42 > 0:12:48roles in the films Edtv, U-571 and Reign Of Fire?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Um...
0:12:54 > 0:12:58I have seen at least two of those films.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00The first and third.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02And Reign Of Fire, as I remember,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I think it's alongside Christian Bale.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Matthew McConaughey stars in that,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09so I'm going to go for Matthew McConaughey.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Yeah, brilliant actor and you're right.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Matthew McConaughey is the right answer.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Two out of two. Over to Pat.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Which of these comedians has been a long-running team regular
0:13:17 > 0:13:20on the panel show Mock The Week?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Well, all these three chaps pop up on
0:13:28 > 0:13:31humorous panel shows.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35But Mock The Week, I think Hugh Dennis is one of the regular men,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and he's very good on it. I think it's Hugh Dennis.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Hugh Dennis is correct.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41OK, over to you, Will.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Who voiced Barney Rubble in the 1960s cartoon
0:13:44 > 0:13:46series the Flintstones?
0:13:51 > 0:13:58Hmm, that, unfortunately, I'm not very close to an answer on...
0:13:58 > 0:14:03I mean... Do I have any memory of watching those cartoons and seeing
0:14:03 > 0:14:07any credits afterwards that I can recall?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10It's going to be a guess, unfortunately.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Erm... Arnold Stang.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Pat, do you know this?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Is it Arnold?- I don't know, but that would've been my guess as well.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Mel Blanc is the answer.- Oh.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23So, Pat, you can take it with this.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28The Australian-born Dudley Simpson is best known for providing what for
0:14:28 > 0:14:32series such as Doctor Who, The Tomorrow People and Blake's 7?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Blake's 7 I think is sort of 1970s,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Tomorrow People perhaps a bit earlier
0:14:40 > 0:14:44and Doctor Who stretches from 1963 onwards.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Tricky one, this. Very tricky.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I think I'll discount music,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52simply because I know that for certainly a good chunk of
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Doctor Who's time I can identify the musicians, the composers.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59For a very long time they had the Ron Grainer introductory music.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03It's pretty much a stab in the dark.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I will say costumes.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Eggheads, do you know? ALL:- Music.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Music, they all say. - Music? Oh, well.- Yeah.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Music is the answer.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13OK, three questions each you've had.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Scores are level. How about that, Will?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17It's Sudden Death now, OK?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21It gets a bit harder. No alternative options from me.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Which Russian-born actor starred as gunslinger Chris Adams in the
0:15:26 > 0:15:29classic 1960 Western The Magnificent Seven?
0:15:29 > 0:15:34I can... The only actor I think I could name who might have been in
0:15:34 > 0:15:38The Magnificent Seven is, I think, Yul Brynner.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I've got a feeling he was in it, so I'm going to say that.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yul Brynner?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Yul Brynner is the right answer. Well done.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Pat, which Woody Allen film opens with a long monologue
0:15:47 > 0:15:49that concludes with the line,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53"New York was his town and it always would be"?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Well, the most New York Woody Allen films are Manhattan and Annie Hall.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Well, Manhattan opens with
0:16:01 > 0:16:05the jazzy music and the skyline and it's very, very New York set,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08so I think of the two I'll pick Manhattan.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Manhattan is right.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12This is interesting, isn't it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14OK, we go back to you, Will.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17In the 2004 Michael Mann film Collateral,
0:16:17 > 0:16:24hit man Tom Cruise takes cab driver Jamie Foxx hostage as he drives him
0:16:24 > 0:16:26round the streets of which city?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29It's a film I don't think I've ever seen the whole way through,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I've seen bits of.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Erm...
0:16:32 > 0:16:36And from kind of what I remember it's all quite, sort of, open.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Kind of big highways, lots of, not, kind of, tall buildings
0:16:39 > 0:16:41that you might expect in somewhere like New York.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46So I'm going to say...Los Angeles.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49You're right, you're quizzing really well, Los Angeles is correct.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Well done.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52OK, Pat.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58Which American medical comedy drama series first broadcast in 2009
0:16:58 > 0:17:01is set in All Saints' Hospital in New York City?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03What could this be? Nurse Jackie.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06It's New York, it's about the right time.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I watched a bit of it, and I wasn't laughing very much,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10but these things are subjective.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Can I think of any other better options?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I don't think I can, so I think I'll have to take my chances
0:17:16 > 0:17:18with Nurse Jackie.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Nurse Jackie is the right answer.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24JEREMY LAUGHS
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Will, which radio DJ and television presenter
0:17:27 > 0:17:31hosted the viewers' letters programme Points Of View
0:17:31 > 0:17:36from 1999 to 2007?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I think it was Terry Wogan.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40It was Terry, you're right.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Oh!
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Do you know who followed him?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Um...I don't.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I just remember the theme tune from Points Of View.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- The person who followed him was me. - Oh!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52JEREMY LAUGHS
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm sure it improved.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59OK. Pat, this is to stay in.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Will is quizzing so well.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04What was the surname of the title characters in the 1970s sitcom
0:18:04 > 0:18:06George And Mildred?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I think they were Ropers.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Roper is right, well done.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13So, Will, your question.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16It's so good when we're Sudden Death and people are getting them right.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Here's your question... Which Disney cartoon character made his first
0:18:19 > 0:18:24appearance in the 1934 animated short The Wise Little Hen?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Donald Duck, I'm going to guess.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Donald Duck is correct.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Oh, my word, well done!
0:18:30 > 0:18:32So, you're on the verge of the final against Pat.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Pat needs to get this right to stay in.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Pat, in which US TV drama series
0:18:36 > 0:18:39does Simon Baker star as Patrick Jane,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42an independent consultant for the fictitious
0:18:42 > 0:18:46California Bureau of Investigation, or CBI?
0:18:46 > 0:18:47The Mentalist.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49The Mentalist is right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Back to you, Will.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Which British sci-fi TV drama, first shown in 2015,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57features robotic servants called Synths?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I have been watching it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I believe it's called Humans.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Humans is right.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Sudden Death. Pat, your question.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Which member of the Rat Pack and star of the original Oceans 11 film
0:19:10 > 0:19:14was the brother-in-law of US President John F Kennedy?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18I have, I think, got this sort of thing wrong many times.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So I'm going to have to pick carefully between Peter Lawson
0:19:20 > 0:19:22and Joey Bishop.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I think I've done this before, now who is the brother-in-law?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Peter Lawson.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It's Peter Lawford.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32- You're out, Pat.- Oh!
0:19:32 > 0:19:34We have to be tough on it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36You got the name wrong. Well done, Will.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Well done.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Thank you!- That's a good round.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41That's a good victory for you.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43You hung on in there, didn't you?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Yeah, I don't quite know how, but, yeah!
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Knocked out a great quizzer as well.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Please return to us. One more round to go.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Well, this is quite a contest.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Plumming The Depths have lost one brain from the final round but the
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Eggheads have now lost two.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- The last subject before the final is Politics.- Oh, my word!
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Nicki, who is this for?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07The boys we had down for doing Politics.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08And I'm sorry, but I couldn't...
0:20:08 > 0:20:12We want Nicki in the final, so... I'm going to do terribly, but...
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- OK, Hannah.- Be brave.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16President of the Cardiff University Quiz Society.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19That's promising. Against which Egghead?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It can be Barry or Judith.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- What do you think?- Judith. - Judith.- Yeah?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Judith.- Very good.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29So, Hannah from Plumming The Depths, versus Judith,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31who's going to hit the heights.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Well, maybe. We'll see.- Maybe so.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35On Politics. Let's see.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Please, for the last time, go to our famous Question Room.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Hannah, I know politics isn't your first choice necessarily.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Do you want to go first or second? - I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49So, Judith, here's your question.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Fighting Bull is the title of memoirs by which politician
0:20:53 > 0:20:56who became a member of the European Parliament in 1999?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Fighting Bull? I think it must be Nigel Farage.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Nigel Farage is quite right.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08He's the only one who's the MEP.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09- Exactly.- OK.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Over to you, Hannah.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Which of these is the parent organisation
0:21:13 > 0:21:15of the International Monetary Fund?
0:21:18 > 0:21:23So, I'm not sure about this one, which isn't really a surprise.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26But I would have to go with the WTO.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Yeah, logical but wrong, I'm afraid.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30UN is the answer.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Judith, Charlie Falconer, the former Lord Chancellor,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37was once a flatmate of which British Prime Minister?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I think that was Tony Blair.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Tony Blair's quite right. - Why you laughing?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Well, it wouldn't have been with David Cameron or John Major,
0:21:48 > 0:21:49would he, thinking about it?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- The question didn't say he was Labour.- Well, no, that's true.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56OK. Hannah, that means you need to get this one right.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Which former Secretary of State for Education first became
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Conservative MP for Surrey Heath in 2005?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Just thinking this through.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I've never actually heard of Nicky Morgan,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14so I'm not sure whether that means I should discount it or...
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I'm going to go for Michael Gove.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Michael Gove is correct.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Nicky Morgan's the one who criticised
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- the Prime Minister's trousers... - Right, OK!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28..for being too expensive.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31OK, Judith, you can take the round with this.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34How old was David Owen when he became Foreign Secretary
0:22:34 > 0:22:36under James Callaghan?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I know he was very young,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43he was one of the youngest for a long time,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46but I don't think he was 28.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48And 48, there's nothing special in that.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51So I think he was probably 38.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53The correct answer is 38.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Well done, Judith.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57You've taken the round with three correct answers.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Sorry, Hannah, beaten by our Egghead and no way back.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02You won't be in the final. Come back to us, Hannah and Judith.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05We will play the final round for £9,000.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11It is time for our final round
0:23:11 > 0:23:13which, as always, is General Knowledge,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:15 > 0:23:18won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21So, that's Trisha and Hannah from Plumming The Depths,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23and also Steve and Pat from the Eggheads.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Nicki, Will and Richard,
0:23:29 > 0:23:33you are playing to win Plumming The Depths £9,000.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Barry, Chris and Judith, you're playing for something else -
0:23:36 > 0:23:39the Eggheads' reputation, and money can't buy that.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44This time, they're all general knowledge.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Nicki and team, you can confer.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48So, Plumming The Depths, the question is,
0:23:48 > 0:23:52can your three brains defeat these three over here?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Nicki, Will, Richard, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- We'd like to go first, would we, guys?- I think so, yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Yeah, sounds good to me.- We'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Nicki, Will and Richard, it's General Knowledge. Good luck.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11The American resort of Atlantic City is situated in which US state?
0:24:12 > 0:24:13- WHISPERS:- New Jersey.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- I think...- New Jersey. - Yeah, I don't think it's California
0:24:16 > 0:24:18and I'm pretty sure it's not Rhode Island.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I wouldn't have thought Rhode Island.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Pretty sure... - New Jersey sounds good to me.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Yeah.- Jeremy, we are going to say New Jersey.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26New Jersey is the right answer.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Well done, boys.- Well done.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30OK, Eggheads,
0:24:30 > 0:24:31popular in the early 2000s,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35what was the Dido flip an example of?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- JUDITH:- It was a hairstyle.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Yeah?- In the imitation of Dido, the singer?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I have no idea. I just have a feeling...
0:24:46 > 0:24:50There was a sort of fashion for having hair and flipping it
0:24:50 > 0:24:51around that sort of time.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53OK, well, that's good enough for me, Judith.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I mean, please don't blame me.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58No, there's no blame, there's no blame. We all do our best.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00OK? Settled.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02We're not entirely sure on this one,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05but we're going to go for hairstyle.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Hairstyle is your answer.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08If it's wrong, you're going to blame Judith.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10No, we're not going to blame Judith!
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- They are, quite rightly. - Definitely not.- It was my idea.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14- But it's right!- It's right!
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Hooray!- Well done, Judith. - Well done. Hairstyle it is.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21OK.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Challengers, which name from classical mythology is the common
0:25:24 > 0:25:29name for the Lockheed C-130 military transport aircraft?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Hercules, I think.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Yeah, I've got no idea what it is but I have heard of Hercules.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- It's like a helicopter, is it? - No, it's a huge, big plane...
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Massive.- Massive, yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Jeremy, we think that is Hercules.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- Hercules is correct.- Yay!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Two out of two. Well done, Nicki and team.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51OK. Eggheads, which of these comedians was knighted
0:25:51 > 0:25:54in the 2017 New Year's Honours?
0:25:57 > 0:25:58- ALL:- Ken Dodd.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Yeah, we're all happy with that one. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03It's the king of the Diddy Men himself, Ken Dodd.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Ken Dodd is correct.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08So, nothing to choose between you at the moment.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09And we move on.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13A Monster Calls is a book for young adults
0:26:13 > 0:26:15written by which author?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Have you read this book? - I think...
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I don't know if this is one they've released the film of, is it?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27If the book is by a woman...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I'm just trying to think if that's somewhere in my head,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31and if that name's there.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Veronica Roth.- Yeah, I'm kind of torn between Patrick Ness
0:26:35 > 0:26:36- or Veronica Roth.- Yeah.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39If I have heard of one of them, it would have been Patrick Ness.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Do you think you might have heard somewhere that it might have been
