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?

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hello. I'm Ned. I'm a professional gambler.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi. I'm Nick. I'm a medical writer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi. I'm Edward, and I'm a solicitor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hello. I'm Simon, and I'm a marketing consultant.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- So, Chris and team, hello. ALL:- Hello.- Lovely to see you.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And you're a quizzing team, Chris, I can tell.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Well, a bit, yes.- A bit?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16So, tell us about where you all quiz together.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Well, we all quiz together
0:01:17 > 0:01:20at the annual village quiz in the village hall,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24which is a charity event to raise money for the village hall.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Great. And Turweston is at the centre of this team.- It is, yes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Tell us about that village. - Well, it's a tiny English village.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32It's got all you'd expect in a village -
0:01:32 > 0:01:35a village green, church, pub, all the trimmings. It's very nice.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38You walk out the front door, you all see each other on the way to work?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Pretty well, yeah. - How nice. How wonderful.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42OK, I wish you well, team.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:44 > 0:01:46up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48However, if they fail to defeat the famous Eggheads,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53So, Turweston and Beyond,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56the Eggheads have actually won the last 11.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59They're doing really, really well, which is good, in a way,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01cos it means there's a big jackpot
0:02:01 > 0:02:03of £12,000 today. Would you like to try and win it?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Yes.- I thought so.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09And the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11So, one of you against either Beth,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Chris, Pat, Steve or Dave.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20- I think it's going to be me.- Yeah. - So, did we decide Beth or Dave?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- One of those? Which do we think? - Maybe Beth?- Yeah, all right.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- I think Beth, Politics.- OK. And, Ned, your profession is...?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Professional gambler. - Professional gambler? Perfect.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30That's going to really put the frighteners on them.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Ned from Turweston and Beyond versus Beth from the Eggheads.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Is Beth going to play it safe or gamble herself?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41would you please take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44OK, so, Politics, Ned.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Your choice - would you like to go first or second?
0:02:46 > 0:02:47I'll go second, actually.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Which means Beth has the first question. Here we go, Egghead.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56How did Iain Duncan Smith famously describe himself
0:02:56 > 0:03:00at the 2002 Conservative Party Conference?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I think he's the quiet man. A quiet man.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08A quiet man is quite right.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11"The quiet man is back and he's turning up the volume," he said.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13All right, Ned,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16which country saw its prime minister resign
0:03:16 > 0:03:19after the result of a constitutional referendum
0:03:19 > 0:03:21in December 2016?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Right, so, prime minister. Yeah, it was...
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Yeah, it's Italy.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32It was Renzi lost a referendum on the reforms, yeah. Italy.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Italy is correct.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Beth, we go back to you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38What is the middle name of Jeremy Corbyn?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Hmm, I'm thinking about when he was born
0:03:46 > 0:03:51and the names that were around at the time.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm torn between Bernard and Brian.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I think it might be Jeremy Brian Corbyn.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- You've gone the wrong way.- Oh. - It's Bernard.- Oh!
0:04:01 > 0:04:03To take the lead here, Ned,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05who was appointed Work and Pensions Secretary
0:04:05 > 0:04:07in July 2016?
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Yeah, it's Damian Green.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18Liam Fox is now the trade one and Jeremy Hunt's still health.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Damian Green's work and pensions.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Damian Green was appointed Work and Pensions Secretary
0:04:22 > 0:04:25in July 2016, you're quite right, so you've taken the lead.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27And, Beth, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31What name is given to a person who chairs a committee
0:04:31 > 0:04:33in the Scottish Parliament?
0:04:37 > 0:04:38The other... I'm not...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41This isn't something I know immediately either, so...
0:04:41 > 0:04:45The only one that pulls me there to be one that would chair,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47and therefore do the same sort of thing as a chair
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- would be a convener. - Eggheads, do you know this one?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51I would have said convener.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54They reckon convener. Convener is right.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So, you can take the round
0:04:56 > 0:04:58with this question, Ned.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Of which body was the Brazilian Robert Azevedo
0:05:02 > 0:05:05appointed Director General in 2013?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13It's weird - when you first said the name, I thought World Bank.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I don't think it's the IMF. I think that's, like...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Is it Christine Lagarde and then it was someone else?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I may have just made this up,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22but it rang a bell with World Bank, that.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I think I'll go World Bank.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25World Bank is wrong.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28It's World Trade Organisation.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32So, after three questions, you're level. We go to Sudden Death.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Beth, you go first.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37The 1946 National Health Service Act became law
0:05:37 > 0:05:40during the term of which British Prime Minister?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I know Bevan had a lot to do with it,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45but I think he was the health minister at the time.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Anthony Eden. - THEY GROAN
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- No, no.- No.- No, no, no.- No. I knew it was wrong. Knew it was wrong!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Eggheads? ALL:- Clement Attlee. - Clement Attlee.- Oh, yeah.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57He was Prime Minister in 1946.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00OK, Ned, you have a chance to take the round.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03To whom was Tony Blair referring
0:06:03 > 0:06:07when he said of his wife, Cherie, in 2006,
0:06:07 > 0:06:08"At least I don't have to worry
0:06:08 > 0:06:11"about her running off with the bloke next door"?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Oh, yeah, it's Gordon Brown.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18So, he was worried that his wife was going to run off with Gordon Brown.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It must be, cos 11 Downing Street. Gordon Brown.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Gordon Brown is the right answer.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25You've taken the round on Sudden Death. Well done, Ned.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Beth, you've been knocked out and
0:06:27 > 0:06:30that's good for our Challengers. First scalp to them.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Please return to us. We'll play on.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Good start for Turweston and Beyond.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38They have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42The Eggheads have lost Beth. And the next subject is Film & TV.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44So, who would like this?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Do you want this? Do you want this, Ed?- Yeah, I'll take it.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Out of who's left, it's Ed, isn't it?- OK, Edward, our solicitor.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- It's got to be Chris, I think. - Yeah, I think we need to try...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Yeah, that just makes sense, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57All right. So, Edward from Turweston and Beyond
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- is going to play Chris from the Eggheads.- Oh, fair enough.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01- Film & TV?- Yeah.- Good stuff.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Film & TV, Edward - would you like to go first or second?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I'll go first, if I may, Jeremy.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Here we go. What was the name of the time-travelling TV repairman
0:07:17 > 0:07:21played by Nicholas Lyndhurst in Goodnight Sweetheart?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, I'm not at all sure,
0:07:28 > 0:07:33but I think I'm going to go for Gary Sparrow.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Gary Sparrow is correct.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Chris, which Hollywood actress
0:07:39 > 0:07:43starred in the 1930s films Camille and Ninotchka?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- That was Greta Garbo.- Greta Garbo, and that was back in the day
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- when you were watching the movies, wasn't it?- Indeed it was.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56OK, Edward, which one of these
0:07:56 > 0:08:00fictional US TV detectives is an ex-Navy SEAL?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Kojak, I don't think it was.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Jim Rockford, I'm confident it wasn't.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11So, I'm going to go for Thomas Magnum.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Thomas Magnum is correct.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15OK, Chris,
0:08:15 > 0:08:22Tcheky Karyo played Julien Baptiste in which TV crime drama?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Well, The Bridge is Scandi-noir,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It doesn't sound like a Scandinavian name,
0:08:31 > 0:08:32so I'll rule out The Bridge.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Don't think it's The Missing, but Spiral or Engrenages,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40to give it its original title, is French, so I'll go with Spiral.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Spiral. Eggheads, do you know?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- It's The Missing. - The Missing is the answer.- Mm.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48You've fallen behind, Chris.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50So, let's see. Edward, you can take
0:08:50 > 0:08:54the round with this, and complete a double for the Challengers.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Who did Forbes magazine name the top grossing actor of 2016
0:08:58 > 0:09:01in terms of ticket sales?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09So, Scarlett Johansson did the Marvel franchise.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Cameron Diaz didn't make that many films.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I know Jennifer Lawrence was the top grossing in dollar terms,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19so I'm going to go with her in terms of ticket sales.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Jennifer Lawrence.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21It's wrong, actually.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Scarlett Johansson is the right answer.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25That gives Chris a way back in.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27You've got to get this right though, Chris.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Which former member of the cast of the TV series Friends
0:09:31 > 0:09:34turned 50 years of age in 2016?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Well, the oldest-looking of the three is David Schwimmer,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43so that's who I have to go with.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47That's a good way of working it out. David Schwimmer is the right answer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Two each.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51So, we go to Sudden Death here. Edward, it gets a bit harder.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I don't give you alternative options.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Which English actor played the role of Finnick Odair
0:09:56 > 0:10:01in The Hunger Games' Mockingjay films?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It's one of those ones where you know the name,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05but I just can't think of it.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Matthew Thompson? - No, it's Sam Claflin.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Chris, yours for the round.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Which Irish-born actor made an appearance early in his career
0:10:16 > 0:10:22as the seaman Charles Churchill in the 1984 film The Bounty?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Liam Neeson.- You're right, it is Liam Neeson, Chris.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Well done. You've taken the round
0:10:26 > 0:10:28on Sudden Death. Sorry, Edward.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Been knocked out there.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Very nearly made it two for the Challengers,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33but, actually, it's been levelled up here by Chris.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Return to us, please, gentlemen, and rejoin your teams.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Right, it's been levelled up.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Turweston and Beyond have lost a brain from the final round.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44The Eggheads have lost one, too.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47And the next subject in the third round now is Geography.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Geography.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- That'll be me.- I think you should do it.- I'll take Geography.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54OK, team captain. Artist, gallery owner.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Against which Egghead? It can't be Beth or Chris.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- I think it should be Dave.- I'd like to play Dave, please.- Very good.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01So, Chris from Turweston and Beyond
0:11:01 > 0:11:04to play Dave from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Please go to our Question Room now.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10So, Geography, Chris - would you like to go first or second?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Geography, and your first question, Chris. Good luck.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Which range of hills is east of the River Usk
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and lies across the border between England and Wales?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Well, the Cheviot Hills are in Northumberland,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33the Mourne Mountains are in Northern Ireland,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36and the Black Mountains are in Wales so it's the Black Mountains.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Black Mountains is quite right. Brilliant.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Very beautiful they are, too. Dave, what is the capital
0:11:41 > 0:11:45and the largest city of the US state of Arizona?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's Phoenix, Arizona.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Yeah, that could have caught you out. Phoenix is right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Chris,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57which of these African countries measures approximately
0:11:57 > 0:12:01just 80 miles from east to west?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Well, they're all fairly small countries.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10I think Swaziland, I think, is too big, so I'll dismiss that.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I think I'll dismiss it, anyway.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Eritrea's up on the Horn of Africa and I can't quite picture
0:12:16 > 0:12:19the shape of it in my mind at the moment.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Well, in the absence of anything better,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I'm going to go with Liberia.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25No, it's not Liberia.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Actually, the smallest is Swaziland.- Mistake.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30OK,
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Dave, which city's former name translates into English as sand pile
0:12:35 > 0:12:39because of the beaches that line its shores?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47It could be Lillehammer. It could be Malmo.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Really haven't got a clue here.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I'm going to regret this. I'm going to go for Lillehammer.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56OK. I think some Eggheads know. Steve, I can tell you know.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Probably on the basis that it's maybe had a former name,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02we'd go for Vilnius.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Yeah, that's wrong, too.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07It was originally called Malmhaug.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- OK, fine.- It's one of those ones -
0:13:10 > 0:13:13we stop you rootling around in the name by saying former name, Dave.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Yeah.- Bit of a wicked question, that, wasn't it?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- It's fine.- Hope you enjoyed that. - Yeah, thank you.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20OK, level after two.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Chris, back to you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Skaw is the most northerly settlement
0:13:24 > 0:13:26on which group of Scottish islands?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Skaw, which is S-K-A-W.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Hmm, I'm struggling here, as well.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38It's going to have to be a guess, I think.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I think I'll go down the right. I'll go for Shetland.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Challengers, is he right? - Yeah.- Yeah? You like it?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Shetland is right. It's a wicked old round.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Dave, to stay in,
0:13:49 > 0:13:50in which English county
0:13:50 > 0:13:54is the National Trust property Calke Abbey located?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Calke is C-A-L-K-E.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- Can you spell it again for me, please?- Yeah, C-A-L-K-E.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Calke Abbey.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08No, I'm not going to change my mind on this.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm going to go down the middle, but it's a total guess. Somerset.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Somerset is your answer.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Anyone been there? Anyone know this, Eggheads?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16No. They're drawing a blank, Dave.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- Derbyshire is the answer. - Never heard of it.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Sorry, you've been knocked out. - It's all right.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23These Challengers are playing well. Well done, Chris.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24You're in the final round.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Nip and tuck there.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Come back to us. One more round to play.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32As it stands, Turweston and Beyond
0:14:32 > 0:14:34have lost a brain from the final round.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35The Eggheads have lost two brains now.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38There's £12,000 to play for here. Let's see what happens next.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Sport is the subject.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Who's going in? THEY CHUCKLE
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Nick or Simon?- It has to be Simon, I think.- Obviously.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Simon, our marketing consultant, against which Egghead?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- And it's either Steve or Pat. - Do you want to take Pat?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55You know, it's going to be hard for you to win this either way,
0:14:55 > 0:14:56- isn't it?- Yes.- Just have a shot.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- If you take out Pat, it makes us a lot more likely to win.- Yeah.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- I'll give it a go.- So, Simon from Turweston and Beyond
0:15:02 > 0:15:06takes on Pat from the Eggheads in the last round before the final.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Please, gentlemen, take your positions.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12All right, Sport, Simon - would you like to go first or second?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I think I'll go first, please.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Good luck. Which of these people was knighted
0:15:20 > 0:15:23in the 2017 New Year's Honours list?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I think I'd remember if it was Usain Bolt.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I think it was Mo Farah.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35It was indeed. Sir Mo.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Well done. Mo Farah.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38First one to you. How does that feel?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Surprising, really! - THEY LAUGH
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Pat, in American football, what term is given to the action
0:15:44 > 0:15:49by which the ball is passed from the ground to the quarterback?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I think that's the snap.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Snap is the right answer.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Back to you, Simon. In which UK sport
0:15:58 > 0:16:03does the club called Salford City Red Devils compete?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Again, I'm going to work on the basis
0:16:11 > 0:16:14that I think I would've heard of it if it was rugby league.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I think I'm going to go for ice hockey, please.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Pat, do you know?- I think I would have stayed with rugby league.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I think it could be rugby league. I've heard of Salford Reds.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Yeah, rugby league is the right answer here, Simon.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Not ice hockey. OK, Pat, your question.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Which South African golfer
0:16:30 > 0:16:34won the US Open in 2001 and 2004?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42By those days, Gary Player was very much a veteran.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46He wasn't winning US Opens in the 2000s.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Charl Schwartzel has had success, but he hasn't won two US Opens.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I think it's the Goose. I think it's Retief Goosen.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It is Retief Goosen. Well done.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Simon, which of these fast bowlers ended
0:16:56 > 0:17:00his career with a record 43 ducks at test level?
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Ducks. They were all probably pretty good at getting ducks, weren't they?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I seem to remember Dennis Lillee was pretty terrible with the bat
0:17:12 > 0:17:15so can I go for Dennis Lillee, please?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Dennis Lillee. Let's just see - Challengers, do you know?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Me and Nick think it's Walsh.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I thought it might be Malcolm Marshall, but I wasn't sure.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25So, we've got a Marshall and a Walsh coming up on this side.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Ned and Nick are very good quizzers.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Courtney Walsh is the answer.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Sorry, Simon. Knocked out by Pat there,
0:17:32 > 0:17:33who's levelled it up.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Come back to us, gentlemen.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38We're going to play the final round for £12,000.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45It is time for the final round. As always, it's General Knowledge,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:17:48 > 0:17:50won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53So, it's Edward and Simon from Turweston and Beyond
0:17:53 > 0:17:55and also Dave and Beth from the Eggheads.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Would you please now leave our studio?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Chris, Ned and Nick, you're playing to win
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Turweston and Beyond £12,000.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Steve, Pat and Chris, you're playing for something
0:18:07 > 0:18:10that money can't really buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14This time, they're all general knowledge.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16You can confer.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18So, Turweston and Beyond, the question is,
0:18:18 > 0:18:22can your three brains defeat these three mega brains over here?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25And, Chris, Ned and Nick, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I think we'll go first, please.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32All right, I know we've got a quiz on our hands now.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Here we go. General Knowledge. Playing for £12,000. Good luck.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38According to the proverb, Challengers,
0:18:38 > 0:18:42what is it better to do than curse the darkness?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Yeah, light a candle. - Light a candle?- Yeah.- Definitely?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Yeah, we're going to go for light a candle.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Yeah, better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56You're quite right. Eggheads, your question.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59In which English county is the historic town
0:18:59 > 0:19:02of Bradford on Avon located?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Wiltshire.- Oh, is it? - Yeah, Wiltshire.- Oh, right.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I just thought "on Avon" - it had to be Warwick.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13If you're happy with that, Chris... You seem very confident.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Well...- Think of the junction. - Oh, right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Well, Chris is extremely confident with that one.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It sort of caught me out, but it's Wiltshire.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Wiltshire. You didn't know this, Steve?- No, I didn't.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Pat, you're very quiet in the middle.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- I didn't know it. - Gosh.- Might have...
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Well, if I had an instinct, it was Warwickshire,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34but I'd no backing for it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Interesting, cos we know how this works.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Sometimes, Chris gets knocked out
0:19:38 > 0:19:41and then it turns out he has the key piece of information.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42In this case, he did. Wiltshire is right.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Well done, Chris. Brilliant.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46The wheels are wobbling on the Eggheads' side.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Here we go. For what does the L stand for in LISA,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54the government saving scheme announced in 2016?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56That's L-I-S-A.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00So, you know, what's...?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- ISA is just independent? - Instant savings account, isn't it?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Instant?- I think it's instant, yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I mean, ISA is a government saving scheme, isn't it?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- What does it stand for, ISA? - I think that's independent.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Quite often, don't the interest rates go down after a while
0:20:14 > 0:20:16so you'd think maybe it'd be, like, lifetime
0:20:16 > 0:20:18or long-term, maintain your...
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I've got a feeling for lifetime, but I don't know why.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22You said something about instant, but then, if it was that,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24it'd be a bit of a weird contradiction.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Lifetime? Instant?- Well, no, it's instant access, I think.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I think I've heard the term lifetime to do with a savings accounts.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Really? Shall we say lifetime,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- if you think you've heard that, as well?- Well, it's an inkle,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36but isn't big. It's not.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It could be long-term, but I just...
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I think... I just think I've heard it somewhere.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I think that inkling is probably
0:20:44 > 0:20:45enough to go for it, isn't it?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- It makes sense.- Shall we do it?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Go on, then, yeah.- Go on.- Right.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52After much deliberation, we're going to go for lifetime.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54So, let's just start with ISA,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56which isn't instant, by the way. What is it?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Individual.- Individual...
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Individual.- ..Savings Account.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03That actually unlocks the answer for you a bit more easily
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- cos it is lifetime.- Yes!- Well done.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07It was the use of the word instant.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I could see it was just throwing you completely there.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Anyway, you got it right. Well done.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Eggheads, to catch up, which of these
0:21:14 > 0:21:17astronauts resigned from NASA in 1981
0:21:17 > 0:21:19to become a full-time painter?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Alan Bean?- Maybe. - I think it's Alan Bean.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I think he does canvases with moon dust embedded into them.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Oh, yeah.- Well, that's better than anything I've got.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Well, Buzz Aldrin, he's just...
0:21:33 > 0:21:36He travels the world, evangelising for space travel.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- OK?- Mm-hm.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Well, Pat's pretty confident it's Alan Bean,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43so that's our answer.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Alan Bean is correct.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45- Well done, Pat.- Well done, Pat.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47This is interesting quizzing from the Eggheads.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50They're drawing on each other's strengths here.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51They know they're up against good quizzers.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Get this right, that may be it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56They may get theirs wrong. That's it. Here's your question.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Including qualifying rounds,
0:21:58 > 0:22:02how many teams participated in the FA Cup
0:22:02 > 0:22:04in the 2015/'16 season?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I'm pretty sure it's going to be one of the later two.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14I know that, yeah.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Right, do you know how many rounds there are
0:22:16 > 0:22:18before they get to the first round?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Ooh!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I've got a memory of fourth qualifying round being a thing,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- but I think I can work this out.- Good.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Maybe.- Take your time. - Take your time, yeah.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Right, OK. So, going to have to go through this slowly.- Yeah.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Two, four, eight,
0:22:34 > 0:22:3716, 32, 64. That's 64.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- So, that means there's 64 in the fourth qualifying...- Yeah.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44..which would mean 128 in the third,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47256 in the second,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49500 in the first,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52and then I think they have a preliminary one.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Yeah, so, that means 500-odd in the first round...- Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58..first qualifying,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01but then I reckon there's another, like...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03There must be another 400-ish play each other
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- in a preliminary one.- Do they?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Well, it must be, to narrow that down to 200.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Well, that takes us over 700, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11I think it's going to be 736.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I think the preliminary round is smaller than the first qualifying.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Maybe I've got this wrong somehow,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19but it seems like about the right number.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Logic seems fine to me. Shall we go for it?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- I think that's OK. It's sound arithmetic.- 736.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28After much deliberation again, and maths,
0:23:28 > 0:23:33we're going to go for 736, with crossed fingers.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37736 is your answer. You went through an enormous mathematical calculation
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and ended up by saying, "The middle one sounds about right."
0:23:42 > 0:23:45And you've got it right! 736 is right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47You've got three out of three.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49You can relax for a minute here.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Just watch the Eggheads. They may get this wrong.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53If they get this wrong, you've won £12,000.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54You've taken them down.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Eggheads, the title of the World's Best Restaurant in 2016
0:23:58 > 0:24:01was awarded to an establishment in which country?
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I haven't heard of any super-duper restaurants in Andorra.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Spain has got a couple.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14It had El Bulli, which is sort of low-profile now.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18It has the Cabo del Celler in Gerona, which is a big one
0:24:18 > 0:24:21and then there's a big one in San Sebastian.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23There are two very prominent restaurants.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Italy has got...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Recently, there's a restaurant in Bologna or Modena,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31which has been making waves, doing very well.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Yeah, the percentage is Spain simply because, in the past,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Bulli, which is now sort of quiet,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38but there is the Gerona and the San Sebastian,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40so it's got quite a network of top restaurants.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45But this Modena one was in the press recently.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I think that's the reason why..
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It's a delicate one, this, though. It's a delicate one.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- Chris?- Well, last I heard,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54it was still El Bulli in Spain, but if you've read about Modena...
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I think El Bulli is quiet at the moment.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I think your man Ferran Adria sort of took a big sabbatical.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03It's not... It's lower-profile at the moment, I think.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06And you think Italy?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Slight preference for Italy. Very nervous.- Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Right, as you can probably tell, Jeremy, we're not sure at all.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17We've got to pick something, so, with no degree of certainty,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- we're going to say Italy. - Your answer is Italy.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23If you have got it wrong,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26the Challengers win £12,000.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Osteria Francescana in Modena is the restaurant
0:25:30 > 0:25:32that was the world's best in 2016,
0:25:32 > 0:25:33You've got it absolutely right,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and that is brilliant quizzing by Pat.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Very subtle, very clever.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38OK, Sudden Death, we're on.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41£12,000, we're playing for. Here's your question.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Which music producer born in Clovis, New Mexico, in 1927,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49is best known for his association with Buddy Holly?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Any music producers from the '60s, '50s?- No, I'm sorry.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- No.- Oh, dear.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Would he have been on the plane?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- HE EXHALES - There was a pilot called Peterson.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06To be honest, we just don't know, do we?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Could it be someone that did something else, like, you know...?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Can you think of anyone associated with Elvis or, like,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Carl Perkins or The Big Bopper or any of these people?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17And associated...? Just any name associated with them, like...?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- Who was Elvis's manager? - Erm...- Colonel Tom Parker.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Who's that?- It's Elvis's manager.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26It was his manager. He wasn't a record producer or anything.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Can't think of anybody. - We've got to have a guess, surely.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Well, do you want to say the Peterson thing?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Yeah, I'd prefer that, even though...- We don't know the...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Do we have to give a...? Can we just give a surname?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- You need first name, as well, yeah.- OK.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39It's not him, but I'm just trying to remember
0:26:39 > 0:26:42what the first name of it might have been.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Marcus maybe? Is that someone else?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I have no idea.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- Marcus Peterson - do that name.- Right.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52We have absolutely no idea, so with no confidence at all,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54we're going to say Marcus Peterson.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56A hard question. The answer is Norman Petty.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57OK.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00He was to Buddy Holly what George Martin was to The Beatles,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02so he was fundamental to the sound.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05OK, the Eggheads have a chance now with this question.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06You can take the contest.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10The journal Blast, first produced in 1914,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13was a mouthpiece for which artistic movement?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Vorticism.- Yeah. - It reminded me of vorticism.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Vorticism.- Yes, definitely.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- When was it, early...?- Yeah, cos it didn't last very long.- No.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Wyndham Lewis, people like that.- Yeah.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Are we all happy with that?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I'm not confident, but it's what occurred to me.
0:27:28 > 0:27:301914 is the height of the Vorticism period.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34We think we're all agreed it's vorticism, Jeremy.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Been an amazing contest, but vorticism is the right answer.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43We say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won!
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Oh!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50You ran them close there. My goodness!
0:27:50 > 0:27:54The pilot, I'm told, was Roger Peterson,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- so you got the surname of the pilot there.- Good effort.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Ooh, you are amazing quizzers, there's no question about that.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02People come here with much less and win,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04so you've been unlucky to catch them on a...
0:28:04 > 0:28:06This particular trio, actually, works...
0:28:06 > 0:28:08You seem to work quite well together, you three.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- We do, don't we?- Yeah, you do.- I'll take no credit for that.- You do.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Commiserations to Turweston and Beyond.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16It does mean you're not going home with the £12,000,
0:28:16 > 0:28:17so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Eggheads, really well done. Great quizzing.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22All of you working in sync with each other,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24and I wonder if you can be beaten.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:27 > 0:28:29have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34£13,000 will be here to play for. Till then, goodbye.
