0:00:06 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against
0:00:30 > 0:00:34possibly the greatest quiz team Britain. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are the Glasgow Alphas. This team are all members
0:00:39 > 0:00:42of Glasgow's first inclusive rugby club,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46who promote equality and diversity in team sports.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Let's meet them. Hello, my name is Munro, and I am a business student.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, my name is Adam, and I'm a rugby coach.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Matt, and I'm a hairdressing student.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, my name's Jamie, and I work in hospitality.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, my name's Barry, and I'm an aseptic pharmacy technician.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Munro and team, hello. Hello. Welcome.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07So tell us, Munro, first of all, about the rugby club,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10and what defines it. Basically, we create a comfortable environment
0:01:10 > 0:01:13for anyone to come and try the sport. Just alleviating that bit of
0:01:13 > 0:01:16stress, particularly that you get sometimes in the LGBT community
0:01:16 > 0:01:18when it comes towards sport. And you play it yourself?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21You all play? Yeah, we all play. OK, in different positions?
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Yeah, yeah, definitely.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And which teams do you play?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27We play mostly friendlies.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31So there's a lot of inclusive LGBT teams around the country and around
0:01:31 > 0:01:32the world. So we play a lot of them,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34but we also play a lot of friendlies locally.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And hopefully, next season, we'll be joining a league, so we'll get
0:01:37 > 0:01:40more regular matches. Really exciting. So, are you quizzers?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Do you quiz together? No, we haven't. I think we've all quizzed.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45You quiz separately?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Yeah, we have. Does that mean you've had to patch together a battle plan,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50rather like your rugby strategy?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Yes. Which means someone's the number eight, someone's the hooker,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55someone's going to run with the ball when they get it?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Yeah, and someone just has to muck in when we need it as well.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Yeah. And someone's going to take down Kevin and make it as bruising
0:02:02 > 0:02:05as possible. Yeah! All right, listen, good luck to you.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Great to see you all. Every day,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09there's ?1,000 cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that money rolls over.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16So, Glasgow Alphas, the Eggheads are doing rather well -
0:02:16 > 0:02:21they've won the last nine. There's ?10,000 to play for.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Do you want to try? Definitely.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Good. The first head-to-head battle is on Film And TV.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31You can choose between Judith, Kevin, Pat, Barry and Steve.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32So who are we going for on Film And TV?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I think you had that bagsied, did you not? If you want.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Are you going to go for it? Yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39You in for...? No, I think we're going to hold us back a bit.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Yeah, OK, I'll go for it. Barry, OK. Against which Egghead?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Any one of the five.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Don't be scared. I think I'll go for Judith.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Everybody happy with that? Yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Right, so, Barry from the Glasgow Alphas,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57versus Egghead Alpha, Judith.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Is that too much of a build-up?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01No, no. I could do with a build-up.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Barry, you're a pharmacy technician?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yeah, that's right, Jeremy. And what does that entail?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I make up chemotherapies for people with cancer.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20And also I make up parenteral nutrition bags for people that are
0:03:20 > 0:03:23unconscious and can't eat. Wow, that's serious stuff.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Thanks. Do you find time to watch movies?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Yeah, usually when I'm not at training.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32OK, good luck against Judith, Barry.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I think I'll go second, Jeremy. Ladies first.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42You ready for this, Judith? I am.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Aljaz Skorjanec, Oti Mabuse and Katya Jones
0:03:46 > 0:03:49have all featured in which television show?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Well, I'm sure you know this too, Jeremy.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57It's Strictly.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Strictly Come Dancing is quite right.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01We've got to get you on that, Judith.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04No! I'm stiff as a poker, I couldn't do it.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Oh, but even just to see you moving around.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09OK, your question now, Barry.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Which of these songs won an Oscar for the 1984 film, The Woman In Red?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I'm not really sure, Jeremy, so I am just going to guess this one,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26and I'll go with I Just Called To Say I Love You.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Yeah, it's a good guess, because Summer Nights was Grease,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31and Bright Eyes was... Erm, was that Watership Down, or...
0:04:31 > 0:04:33What was that, Judith? Watership Down.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Yeah, so, I Just Called To Say I Love You is quite right.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42Judith, Anton Karas famously played the music to which 1949 film
0:04:42 > 0:04:43on a zither?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Well, The Third Man - tremendously atmospheric film.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55And music on the zither was very much a part of it,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57so I think it's The Third Man.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59The Third Man is right.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Barry, which British actor plays the husband and manager of
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Meryl Streep's title character in the 2016 film
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Florence Foster Jenkins?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I'm not really sure again, Jeremy.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Pretty sure it's not Stephen Fry or Hugh Grant,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18so I'm going to go with Ray Winstone.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20No, you've got it wrong, it's actually Hugh Grant.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23OK. Hugh Grant was the answer.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Gives Judith a chance here.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Which actor wrote screenplays for both the 2015 film Sicario
0:05:29 > 0:05:32and the 2016 film Hell Or High Water?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I have absolutely no idea.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I haven't seen either of the films,
0:05:42 > 0:05:46or know anything about those names.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49So, it's a guess.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Charlie Hunnam. Charlie Hunnam.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Eggheads? Taylor Sheridan.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Taylor Sheridan, says Kevin. Oh. Taylor Sheridan is the right answer.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Still, you do need to get this one right, Barry, to stay in.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Which silent film actor starred in the 1926 film The General?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So, it's 1926.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Well, it's bit before my time, Jeremy,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15and the only silent actor I know is Charlie Chaplain,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17so I'm going to go with Charlie Chaplain.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It's Buster Keaton. OK. Buster Keaton is the right answer.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Buster Keaton, he only did silent movies,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24or did he move into spoken movies?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Well, he was in some later on,
0:06:26 > 0:06:31but tended to be more cameos, really, than anything.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Barry, sorry, you've been knocked out by Judith.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Please return to us, and we'll play on.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40So, the Glasgow Alphas have lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42The Eggheads are still all there, sitting...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Well, sitting pretty might be an exaggeration, but they're all there.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The next subject is Music.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49So, Munro and team, who wants this?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51It's... Matt, will you be going for this one, yeah?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Want me to take it, then? Yeah. Yeah, go for it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Yeah, I'll take Music. OK, Matt, a hairdressing student.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Against which Egghead? Anyone but Judith.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I think, purely for the bright shirt angle,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I'm going to have to go against Barry.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Good stuff. So, Matt from the Glasgow Alphas,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08taking on Barry from the Eggheads.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14So, what's your ambition, Matt,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16when you've finished doing the hairdressing studies?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm looking to eventually go and study to be a special effects
0:07:19 > 0:07:22make-up artist. Oh, right, for movies and stuff?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Movie, films, doing all the sort of prosthetics and making people look
0:07:26 > 0:07:28as horrible as they can.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Well, I suppose, these days the complexity of all that is immense,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35isn't it? It is. There is a lot of different techniques
0:07:35 > 0:07:38that I have to get myself to learn and get nailed down.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41But once I've got those, I am pretty confident that I can get myself
0:07:41 > 0:07:43a big enough name in the business.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Do you like watching the old movies?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Definitely, yeah. My favourite films are the ones with wobbly sets and
0:07:49 > 0:07:52when the monsters are made of papier-mache,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54but the actress is still screaming her head off.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Good! So, you're on Music, Matt, against Barry.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Would you like to go first or second? I think I'll...
0:08:01 > 0:08:02I'll go second.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Barry, what is the fourth word in the national anthem of the
0:08:09 > 0:08:10United Kingdom?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17That's, "God save our gracious Queen." So it's gracious.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yeah, gracious is right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Back to you, Matt. The band Mumford And Sons became associated with the
0:08:22 > 0:08:25reported revival of which genre of music?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Mumford and Sons, was it...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Erm, not my favourite band,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35but I know definitely they have got that very folky feel to them,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37so I'm going to say folk.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Yeah, completely, folk is right.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Barry, The Flaming Lips are a rock band that was formed in 1983
0:08:44 > 0:08:46in which city?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Let me read it again - The Flaming Lips are a rock band that was formed
0:08:53 > 0:08:55in 1983 in which city?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Goodness me. I have heard of the band.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04And I'm tempted to say Salford, so I'll go for Salford.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Yeah, I'm not sure whether we're giving you options from different
0:09:08 > 0:09:11countries or what. Is Kalgoorlie in Australia, or what?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13That's Australia, yeah. OK, so there's a UK,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15an Australia and an American option.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18So I suppose we're just asking which country is the band from?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21And they're American. Ah. Oklahoma City is the answer.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25All right. So you have a chance now to take the lead, Matt.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Which band's first live album was called Live At Leeds?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Ooh, erm...
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Live at Leeds...
0:09:40 > 0:09:44It's probably going to be a stab in the dark with this one.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45I'll go with Oasis.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47No, before that - The Who.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50All right. I've never heard that album, I bet it's brilliant.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It is indeed. I've heard it a number of times.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Really? Barry, your third question.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Josephine Barstow was created a dame in 1995,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01following her success in which capacity?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I've not heard of her as a ballerina.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12And I've not heard of her as a composer.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I think she might have been an opera soprano.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Opera soprano is correct, Barry. Well done.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21So, he's got two, you've got one, you need this one, Matt.
0:10:21 > 0:10:27Here it is. Giovanni Roncalli are the middle names of which singer?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Giovanni Roncalli.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Oh...
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I honestly can't really think of this.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I'd have to eliminate Michael Ball,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42because they sound very Italian names.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I'm going to take it wild stab in the dark, I'll go Bryn Terfel.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51Bryn Terfel, no. It's Alfie Boe, I'm afraid to say.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Is that...? Eggheads, let me just check, is that because he's Italian?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56He's from Lancashire, I think. He's from Lancashire?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Is Giovanni Roncalli a person?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02First name/surname, are those two names taken after one other person?
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Giovanni Roncalli was the real name of, I think, of Pope John XXIII.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Oh, that's interesting. And Alfie Boe, in terms of his age,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15that could be the case that possibly he was named after...
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I don't know.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20And I'm sorry, Matt, with that, you've been knocked out by Barry,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22who will be in the final round. Well done, Barry.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Bit of divine assistance there, Barry.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Yeah, had to be after that Flaming Lips answer!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Come back to us, both, we'll play round three.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35The Glasgow Alphas have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37The Eggheads have not lost any so far,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and the next subject for you is Food Drink.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Now, I know we have a hospitality person here.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Or maybe it's not you, Jamie, is it? Yeah.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It is you. I was... Are you still wanting it?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51It would be between you and Adam.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Would you be with, like...? It could be anything.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57It could be anything, though. If we're thinking for the final...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Because, Adam, you were the one that was better at food and drink
0:12:00 > 0:12:01when we practised.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I'll do it, but then, if Arts Books comes up...
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I was thinking that. So we'll go with Jamie then?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Yeah, go with Jamie. Sure? Yep.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Who would you like to take on, guys?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You can have Steve, Pat or Kevin.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16I think Kevin. Shall we go for that, then?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Yeah, just go for Kevin.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19We'll go for Kevin. Brilliant stuff.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Jamie from the Glasgow Alphas,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24raises the stakes by taking on Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27To ensure there's no conferring, please, take your positions.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31So, Jamie, you're in hospitality,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33which means you handle a lot of food and drink?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Yes, I do. Good stuff.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36And what kind of work do you do?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41So, mainly waiting tables, I do a bit of bar work well.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44So I should hopefully get some cocktail questions, if they come up.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Cocktails come up a lot, yeah.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48OK. And do people say to you, "What's in this, what's in that?"
0:12:48 > 0:12:51And you have to explain how the chicken's done, that kind of thing?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Pretty much, yeah, or go find the big book of cocktails,
0:12:54 > 0:12:55if I don't know myself.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Hopefully I've spent enough time studying that book.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Food Drink, Jamie, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02I'll go first, please.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Good luck. Which of these French wines is a style of sparkling wine,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12reputedly older than champagne?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22OK. Doesn't help that we don't serve this
0:13:22 > 0:13:24where I'm working at the moment.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27So what was the question?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Which is a sparkling wine that predates champagne?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Exactly, sparkling wine, reputedly older than champagne?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Erm... Don't really have any kind of way of working out
0:13:37 > 0:13:42which would be the oldest. I'll just have to take a guess,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and go with Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46It's Blanquette de Limoux.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48No problem.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52OK, your question, Kevin. Traditionally, arborio is
0:13:52 > 0:13:55the most common rice variety used in which dish?
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Well, arborio is, I believe, an Italian variety of rice,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09and the Italian dish there is risotto.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Risotto is correct. Well done.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Back to you, Jamie. Which of these cuts of lamb is taken from the neck
0:14:16 > 0:14:17of the animal?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Which of these cuts of lamb is taken from the neck of the animal?
0:14:25 > 0:14:30The only one I've really heard of is lamb shank.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Where it comes from, I couldn't tell you.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Scrag end, I would assume would be one or t'other end of the animal.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I guess, on what little reasoning I have, I'll go with chump.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Chump. Let's go through this with Kevin.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49What is shank, first of all, Kevin?
0:14:49 > 0:14:50The leg. The leg.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52What is chump then, is this right?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I was trying to place it, I think it's scrag end.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59It's not chump, it's not shank, it's scrag end, Jamie,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I'm afraid. Gives Kevin a chance to take the round.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Which of these plant varieties has been named as the world's
0:15:07 > 0:15:09hottest type of chilli pepper?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18As far as I recall, Arran pilot is a variety of potato.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Blue Danube, I'm not too sure, but the one I recognise there
0:15:21 > 0:15:25as being a particularly fearsome type of chilli pepper
0:15:25 > 0:15:28is a Carolina Reaper. So that's my answer.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31You're absolutely right, it is the Carolina Reaper, and by the way,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33the pilot and the Danube are both potatoes.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37BOTH potatoes, OK. Yeah, so, Reaper is the chilli, and I'm sorry,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40the chilli has ejected you, Jamie.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Bit too spicy for me, I suppose.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Yeah, got a little bit burned there.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45But don't worry, Kevin is a very good quizzer,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47many have been this way and many have fallen.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Please return to us, and we'll play one more round before the final.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55We were struggling a little bit with animal parts there,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58and the lamb. I have drawn one, OK?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02A lamb? Yes, a lamb, Judith, actually, before you laugh at me.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I'm sorry!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07This is just so you guys could see.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's a sad-looking lamb. The neck area there,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13that's the scrag end there, round the neck.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16And then if you put a belt around it, that would be the chump.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19A saddle on the belt, that would be the loin position.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21And the shank, I should say, is the leg, just down there.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Can you see? That's all perfectly clear.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Perfectly. We will know that next time.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27All right, that's settled.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30As it stands, the Glasgow Alphas have lost three brains from the
0:16:30 > 0:16:33final round. The Eggheads looking a little bit too confident,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35and a little bit too cocky. And this is the moment, guys -
0:16:35 > 0:16:38take one of them down, rattle them, and then they fall apart
0:16:38 > 0:16:42in the final, and you win ?10,000. The next subject is Geography.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45OK, Munro, who would you like to throw in on this?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46I think this is going to have to be me,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48by the look of Adam's face there.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51OK. Not my forte. I will try my best.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53OK, Munro. You can take on either Steve or Pat.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Both very wily quizzers.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I think I'm going to go for Steve. Our newest Egghead.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Munro from the Glasgow Alphas taking on Steve from the Eggheads
0:17:03 > 0:17:06on Geography. Let's hope you can find your way to the Question Room.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11On Geography, Munro, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:11 > 0:17:12I'd like to go second, please.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17So, against Steve.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19And your first question, therefore, Egghead.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Which two colours appear on the national flag of Japan?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30It's white and red, Jeremy. White and red is the right answer.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Munro, which of these cities is a British port on the North Sea?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Well, being Scottish, it would be a bit ridiculous
0:17:39 > 0:17:41if I got this one wrong. It's Aberdeen.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Aberdeen is correct.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50Steve, Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52is located in which country?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58The answer I was thinking before the answers has come up, fortunately,
0:17:58 > 0:17:59so I will say Morocco.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Morocco is correct.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03OK, Munro, your question.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06If the shape of Italy is described as a boot,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09which of these cities is located on its heel?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, it's not Venice, because Venice is in the north.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20I'm not sure where Genoa or Taranto is.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23But if...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I think Taranto's speaking to me, so I'll just go for that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It's speaking to you? Yeah.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31What's it saying? Hopefully, that it's right.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It is right, well done. Taranto is correct.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Steve, which of these cities is the principal seaport of Yemen?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Yeah. Aden, Jeremy.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Aden is right.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Man of few words. As long as they're right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Yep, OK. Now we go to you, Munro.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53He's made quick work of that.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Get this right, and we go to Sudden Death.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Sierra Leone is bordered by Guinea and which other country?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I don't think it's Burkina Faso,
0:19:08 > 0:19:12because I'm pretty sure that's over to the east of Africa,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16whereas Sierra Leone, I think, is slightly more west.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19So it's going to be between the other two.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I'm just going to have to guess Liberia.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Is he right, Eggheads?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Yes. Absolutely right, well done, Liberia it is.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30So, three questions each you've had, and we go to Sudden Death.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32It gets a bit harder - I don't give you alternatives.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34And Steve, here's your question.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40Lake Nipigon, which is 1,872 square miles in area,
0:19:40 > 0:19:44and about 80 miles north-east of the city of Thunder Bay,
0:19:44 > 0:19:48is in which country? Let me read it again - Lake Nipigon,
0:19:48 > 0:19:55which is 1,872 square miles in area and about 80 miles north-east of
0:19:55 > 0:19:58the city of Thunder Bay, is in which country?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Right. I could quite easily come unstuck here.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04But because it's quite a big lake,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I think it's got to be quite a big country.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07So I'll say Canada.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Canada's correct.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12You been there, Barry? No, not yet.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Wow, really? BARRY LAUGHS
0:20:16 > 0:20:18If you get this wrong, Munro,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20there's going to be just one person in the final.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Between the town of Monmouth and the Severn Estuary,
0:20:23 > 0:20:29the border between Wales and England is mainly formed by which river?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Could you repeat the question, please?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Between the town of Monmouth and the Severn Estuary,
0:20:34 > 0:20:40the border between Wales and England is mainly formed by which river?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42You need to get this right. I'm not sure.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I can't think of any rivers that are in Wales.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48My mum might be a bit annoyed - she's half Welsh.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I am not sure at all. I'm going to have to...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Because there's a river that I know...
0:20:53 > 0:20:57I think it's the longest river in England?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00But I can't remember the name, so I'd guess that. But...
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I'm just going to say the Severn.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Not the Severn. Have you ever heard of the big book festival at Hay?
0:21:07 > 0:21:08No, I haven't, no.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10OK, it's a town called Hay-on-Wye.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Ross-on-Wye. The river is Wye.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15OK. W-Y-E.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Wye. Sorry, Munro. Knocked out by Steve, our Egghead.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22If you return to us, we'll see what happens next.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27So, this is what we've been playing towards, it is time for
0:21:27 > 0:21:29our final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32But I'm afraid that those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:21:32 > 0:21:36allowed to take part in this round. So, it's Munro, Matt, Jamie
0:21:36 > 0:21:39and Barry, from the Glasgow Alphas, I'm sorry,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41but would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45So we have the rugby coach playing now, Adam, is that right?
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Yep. OK, good luck, you're playing to win the Glasgow Alphas ?10,000,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52which I gather would go to the club? Yeah, yeah.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It would probably go towards things like equipment or
0:21:55 > 0:21:58training facilities or extra coaches.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01All right, brilliant. Steve, Barry, Pat, Kevin and Judith,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04you're playing for something that money really can't buy,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11This time, they're all General Knowledge,
0:22:11 > 0:22:12and you are allowed to confer.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I'm sorry that doesn't help you, Adam, as you're on your own.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19The question is, is your one brain better than the Eggheads' five?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21And would you like to go first or second?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I'd like to go second, please.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32And here we go. Eggheads, the model Jelena Hadid, born in California
0:22:32 > 0:22:34in 1995, is better known by what name?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Gigi. Gigi, then. There is a Gigi Hadid.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45How do you spell the first name, there, Jeremy?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47J-E-L-E-N-A.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Jelena. There is a sister.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51There is a sister, yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55But she's not either of those, is she?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I think it's Gigi.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00It must be Gigi.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Happy with that? Yeah. We think that's Gigi.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Gigi is correct.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10To you, Adam. Which singer had UK hit singles with All Cried Out
0:23:10 > 0:23:12and That Old Devil Called Love in the 1980s?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21I'm probably not going to go with Adam Ant.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I'm not his greatest fan, but I know the music was a little
0:23:25 > 0:23:29bit punk-rockier than what the titles of the songs sound, anyways.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I'm probably going to go with Annie Lennox.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35It's Alison Moyet, I'm sorry.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Eggheads, in 1984, he said, "It's not a fashion parade,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42"it's not a gentleman's club, it's not a bankers' institute -
0:23:42 > 0:23:46"it's a place where the people are represented," after complains
0:23:46 > 0:23:48about his clothing?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55'84? In 1984?
0:23:55 > 0:23:56It's got to be Jeremy Corbyn.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Corbyn could have had complaints about his clothing.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Well, David Cameron wasn't in...
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Well, are they referring to Parliament?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Could it be something like Bullingdon?
0:24:06 > 0:24:07I know what you mean, yeah.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I would imagine it's referring to Parliament.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Shall we have it again? In 1984, who said, "It's not a fashion parade,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16"it's not a gentleman's club, it's not a bankers' institute -
0:24:16 > 0:24:18"it's a place where the people are represented,"
0:24:18 > 0:24:20after complaints about his clothing?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Sounds promising for Jeremy Corbyn, doesn't it? I've got a feeling
0:24:24 > 0:24:26it's Jeremy Corbyn. It's got to be Jeremy Corbyn.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Makes sense. I assume it's referring to Parliament,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30because here's been there since...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Yes, exactly.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34And in 1984, I mean, Cameron...
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Very young. Nick Clegg about the same.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44We don't know it, but we'll have to go with Corbyn. Yeah, must be.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47If it's not, it should be. Yeah. We don't know this, Jeremy,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50but we are going to go for Jeremy Corbyn.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Jeremy Corbyn's quite right.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54He was new in Parliament and, in those days,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57it was even more fusty-dusty than it is now, and people said,
0:24:57 > 0:24:58"He can't dress like that."
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Around the same sort of time Michael Foot got into a lot of trouble?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Yes, that's right, with the Cenotaph.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Donkey jacket. OK. Your question, Adam.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13They've got two - you must get this right to keep the contest alive.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18Which team won the FA Cup five times in the first seven seasons
0:25:18 > 0:25:19in which it was held?
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Could you repeat the question again?
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Which team won the FA Cup five times in the first seven seasons
0:25:30 > 0:25:32in which it was held?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I'm veering away from Oxford University.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I'm not sure what it was like when the FA Cup was beginning,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40but when I played University rugby,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43usually they have separate leagues for the university teams.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Football really isn't my forte either.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I'm kind of veering towards Wanderers.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Is that your answer? Yes.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Wanderers. This is to stay in the contest.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Eggheads, do you know? Yep, I think it's Wanderers.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Wanderers is right. Well done. Still alive.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06But the Eggheads can take the whole contest with this one question.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11In the 1990s, Eggheads, Jo Salter became the first woman
0:26:11 > 0:26:15in the UK's Armed Forces to do what, operationally?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Did she captain a ship? I thought she was a pilot.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Oh, that's it, then. Right.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28In the '90s?
0:26:28 > 0:26:33The captaincy of the ship, the warship, came later, didn't it?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37I think she was an RAF pilot. Yeah.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I'm not 100% certain, but I think she was. I've just got memories
0:26:41 > 0:26:44of somebody captaining a ship, but that must be more recently.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49There was quite a bit of publicity about it at the time, I think.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Right, yeah. I may be wrong, I may be wrong,
0:26:52 > 0:26:55but I don't think it's anything to do with the SAS.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58No. Yeah, I think she's a...
0:26:58 > 0:27:02It's quite a long time ago. The '90s.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06No objections to that. Jet, fly a jet.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09We'll go with fast jet. Mm.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12We're going to go with fly fast jets.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13If you've got this right,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15you've got three out of three in the final round.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20And you have been pretty unstoppable today, I must say.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22The contest will be over.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Kevin said the key word, pilot, yes,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28she did become the first woman to fly fast jets.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Did you know that one, Adam? I actually had no clue either.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41It was quite tricky that one, because it guessably could have been
0:27:41 > 0:27:44any of them. But thank you for playing, good to meet the team.
