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 > 0:00:33Taking on our awesome quiz champions
0:00:33 > 0:00:36today are Risky Quizness from the West Midlands.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, this team all work together
0:00:38 > 0:00:40at a multinational bank in
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Birmingham. Let's meet them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Hi, I'm Dave, and I'm a bank manager.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, my name's Abbas, and I'm a risk analyst.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name is Jen, and I'm a bank manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Stuart, and I'm a risk analyst.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Jay, and I'm also a risk analyst.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57So, Dave and team, hello.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58- TEAM:- Hi.- Great to see you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01So a bank in Birmingham, essentially, Dave?
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Yeah, so, the head office for a big bank in the centre of Birmingham.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Oh, so you haven't got customers coming through the door?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10No, no, so we work in the head office.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13We're all on the similar or the team...
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- OK.- ..and we all work together each day,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18basically managing sort of risk for the bank.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Managing risk. Well, there is a little bit of risk in the studio,
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I'm afraid to say, against these Eggs.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25They are in very good form at the moment.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- Do you quiz together?- Yeah, so, we do a weekly quiz at work.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31I do sort of win most of the time.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- You win most of the time? - Yeah, I win most of the time, yeah.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Excellent, that's very good, that's why you're captain.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Yeah, that's why I'm captain.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I drag some of the others along
0:01:40 > 0:01:42that do HELP me to win sometimes, yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And you've also completed a couple of eating challenges for charity.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49You know, being not the smallest lad, I can put away a bit of food,
0:01:49 > 0:01:50so, yeah,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I'm up for anything that's there to help charity,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and eating's just one of my strong points.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Great stuff. Well, I think the Eggheads, some of them,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01have certainly been inclined towards that in the past.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Anyone a good quizzer here,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05anyone looking forward to this, or are you all quaking?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Looking forward to it. - Yeah.- Yep, definitely.- Excellent.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Brilliant. Well, it's great to see you, Risky Quizness.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Like the team name. I wish you all the best.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:16 > 0:02:17for our Challengers.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Now, Risky Quizness, the Eggheads have done rather well,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and they've won the last dozen games.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30So there's £13,000 if you win today.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Would you like to try?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- TEAM:- Yeah.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Challengers, you can have Beth, Chris, Pat,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Barry, or Steve.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Who did we sort of put forward for that?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Was it Jay?- I think it was me.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46I think it was Jay who wanted it, yeah?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48But it's whether Politics comes up...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50No, let's give it to Jay.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- I think we'll give it to Jay. - Jay at the end on History.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Who do you think, Jay? - Who would you like to take on?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Beth?- Go on, Jay.- We really need to take out the strongest person.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I think we should stick to that strategy.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I don't mind, who do you think?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Beth.- Let's go for Beth.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05- Yeah?- OK, yeah.- All right,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Jay from Risky Quizness playing Beth from the Eggheads on History.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11This'll be an exciting round. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Jay, have you got a bit of History going on?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Yes, I did study quite a bit of it at university.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I did mainly sociology and politics,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24but I did do a few history modules as well.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Brilliant, excellent. And I noticed as well you were crowned
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Skegness' under-nine dance champion.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Yes, that's correct. Yeah, I used to throw a few shapes in my time.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well, good luck with the dancing and the history.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37The history probably comes first in this round.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40And you can choose whether you go first or second against Beth.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42OK, I'd like to go second, please.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Beth, your first question.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Which empire was created by tribes in the region of Anatolia,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52now part of modern Turkey?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00The Ottoman Empire was around Turkey.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Ottoman is right. Well done.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Jay, over to you.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05The Battle of Castiglione,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08a crushing French victory which is often said to have ended
0:04:08 > 0:04:11the Hundred Years' War, took place in which century?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I'm thinking more towards the 18th century,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I don't know for sure. Yeah,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'll go for 18th century.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Well, it was a long war, but it didn't stretch that long.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- It's the 15th.- OK.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Beth, the notorious outlaw Dick Turpin
0:04:31 > 0:04:35was hanged on the outskirts of which city in 1739?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42The Horrible Histories do a fantastic Dick Turpin song,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45tells you all about his life and how he was caught,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47when he sent a letter to somebody,
0:04:47 > 0:04:51and the postman or someone recognised his handwriting.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And that was when he was in York.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Nothing wrong with using a bit of Horrible Histories
0:04:55 > 0:04:58to get the answer. Well done, Beth. York is right.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00OK, Jay, your question.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01In which field did Anne Bonny
0:05:01 > 0:05:05and Mary Read find fame in the 18th century?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And you must get this one right.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I'm drawn towards medicine straightaway.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I don't know for sure.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Yeah, I'm going to go for medicine.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Your answer is medicine. Let's check with the Eggs, here.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Eggs?- It's not medicine, they were pirates.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- They were pirates.- And one of them,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25one of them escaped the noose by a useful technique
0:05:25 > 0:05:29that only women were capable of. She was pregnant.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Right. So they were actually pirates, Jay,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I'm sorry to say. There's no way back for you in this round.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I'm sorry, it just didn't quite fall for you there, did it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- No, don't think so. - Really sorry about that.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Piracy is the answer.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42You've been beaten by our Egghead Beth.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Beth will be in the final.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Come back to us, plenty of time for our Challengers. We'll play on.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well, we had mention of Horrible Histories there, Beth,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52which is a great way of learning stuff.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It's fantastic. It's a fantastic way, and they do fantastic songs,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57they're so memorable.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01The Dick Turpin song was done in the style of Adam Ant.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03And was there something to do with his handwriting, then,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- what happened?- He was in prison, and he was trying to get out,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09so he wrote a letter, and the postmaster,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11the postman recognised the handwriting
0:06:11 > 0:06:16cos he had been the one to teach him how to write to start with.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19And he said, "Oh, that's not who he says he is."
0:06:19 > 0:06:22He signed it under a pseudonym, and he said, "Well, that's Dick Turpin."
0:06:22 > 0:06:24So Dick Turpin was already in prison when he was caught.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- I think that's right, isn't it? Yep. Yeah.- Yeah, OK.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30So Risky Quizness have lost a brain - sorry, Jay -
0:06:30 > 0:06:31from the final round.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34But don't worry, it's early, no need to change tactics yet.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37And also don't give away what the tactics are.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38That's important as well.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40The Eggheads have not lost any brains so far.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43And the next subject for you, Challengers, is Arts & Books.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Who wants this?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48So, we did talk about this on the way up, on the train.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yeah, but it was between me and you.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51I'm good at Art...
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Well, I'm not GOOD at Arts, I can do Arts.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Books, I'm...- Who's more comfy with it out of you two?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I'm...I'm not comfortable. I'm not...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- I'll do it, then.- You'll do it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Yeah.- OK, Jen, a bank manager,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06against which Egghead? Anyone but Beth.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Who do you think? Try and take one of the stronger ones?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Well, any's going to be difficult, isn't it? So...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- What do you think about Steve? - I'll go for Steve.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- I'll go for Steve.- All right, he has his off days, not very many of them,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- but...- Don't know what's round the corner, Jeremy.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Jen from Risky Quizness to play Steve from the Eggheads.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30And just to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Good luck with this, Jen.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Try and level it up for your team of Challengers.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36We're on Arts & Books,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39and you can tell us whether you go first or second.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Er, I'm going to go first.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Here we go, Jen.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Dead Cert, published in 1962,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50was the debut novel by which writer?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56The only person that springs to mind
0:07:56 > 0:08:00out of those three authors to me would be Dan Brown.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05And I'm thinking he's written stuff like The Da Vinci Code,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08but I'm not entirely sure.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I haven't heard of Dick Francis or David Nicholls,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14so I'm going to go with Dan Brown.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Yeah, he did absolutely write
0:08:15 > 0:08:18The Da Vinci Code... but contemporary books so
0:08:18 > 0:08:22he doesn't actually stretch as far back as 1962,
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Dan Brown. And David Nicholls
0:08:24 > 0:08:26might even be a bit younger than Dan Brown.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28He's quite a young writer.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29So we were looking for Dick Francis here.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- OK.- And Dick Francis does a lot of horse-based fiction.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- OK.- He used to be a jockey.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38So, I suppose Dead Cert
0:08:38 > 0:08:40suggests betting, does it, Eggs, or...?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Yeah, stone-cold certainty.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I think Dick Francis - and Chris'll correct me if I'm wrong -
0:08:44 > 0:08:47rode Devon Loch, the horse that spectacularly collapsed.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48- I think he did, yeah.- Yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51OK, Steve, let's hope the same thing doesn't happen to you.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57The writer Peter Mayle is best known for his 1989 memoir
0:08:57 > 0:08:59A Year In... Where?
0:09:02 > 0:09:03I think...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I think they made a TV series about it with John Thaw,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08it was Provence.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Provence is right. Not Hartlepool.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- No.- As fun as that would be.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15OK, Jen, let's see if we can get you
0:09:15 > 0:09:16on the score sheet now.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Lyrical Ballads,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20first published in 1798,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22is a collection of poems
0:09:22 > 0:09:25by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and which other poet?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32John Betjeman, I haven't heard of.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I've heard of Lord Byron and William Wordsworth.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38So I'll probably have to go between those two.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43I don't know if Wordsworth is that old, I don't know.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49I think I'm going to go with Lord Byron, please, Jeremy.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Lord Byron is your answer.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Well, you're right to rule out John Betjeman, who was 20th-century.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Can we help with Lord Byron and William Wordsworth, Eggheads?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It's a little early for Byron,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01he would have been a very, very young man then.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- So which one is it, then? - It's William Wordsworth.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06William Wordsworth is the correct answer, Jen.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07I'm so sorry.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So, Steve, you have a chance
0:10:10 > 0:10:11to take the round.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Spectacles is the title of a 2015 memoir
0:10:14 > 0:10:17by which comedian and presenter?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Well, I don't know this.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25But, out of the three,
0:10:25 > 0:10:26the only one I can think of
0:10:26 > 0:10:29that actually wears spectacles is Sue Perkins.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32So, on the basis of that, I'll say Sue Perkins.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Very good truffling around in the question, there.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I think Ruby Wax has worn spectacles.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38She has, but not as often as Sue Perkins,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39I wouldn't have thought.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- She's worn them less often.- Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Sue Perkins is the right answer, Steve, well done.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Jen, sorry, you were beaten by our Egghead,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49and as a result will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52If you both return to us, we'll play round three.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56As it stands, Risky Quizness have lost a couple of brains
0:10:56 > 0:10:58from the final round. No cause for panic yet.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01If you've got the turbos, the jets, turn 'em on.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02This is the moment, though, OK?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Challengers, the Eggheads have not lost any,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06and they're in the middle of this run at the moment,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10so they need stopping. The next subject for you is Sport.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Who would like this?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- That's a good one. - I think I'd like to take that.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Stuart?- Stu.- Good stuff.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20And, which Egghead?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Any of the three gents in the middle.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Stick with Barry, I think. - Stick with Barry?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Yeah?- I'll stick with Barry, cos I want to take his shirt from him!
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Everyone loves Barry's shirts!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32So, Stuart from Risky Quizness
0:11:32 > 0:11:35taking on Barry from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Please go to our Question Room now, gentlemen.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43So, are you going to swap shirts at the end, Stuart?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I don't know about swapping shirts, cos I'm quite keen on my own,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47but I'd like to take away Barry's with me as well!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Now, I know you love football, don't you?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I do love football, yes. I'm a big, avid football fan.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55And they nicknamed you Statto at school?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57That's correct, yes. Among other things,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Statto was one of my preferred nicknames.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Because of your love of statistics and your knowledge of, what,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05FA Cup finals, going back years, and all that?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Going back so far, I'd say.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I wouldn't say going back to the 1920s,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12but definitely the sort of '90s and early 2000s.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16And you did also queue to audition for The X Factor.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18That's right, yes. Some time ago now.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Unsuccessful audition, but never mind, eh?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Were you singing or doing statistics?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I was singing. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let me do statistics,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28else I'd have done a mixture of the two!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30That's your dream, isn't it, Barry?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32To go on The X Factor just reciting
0:12:32 > 0:12:34facts about volcanoes you've visited, or something.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I think I'd have a record for the most people to switch off
0:12:37 > 0:12:39a television in one night!
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Well, they switch on for you here.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44So, Stuart, you're playing the great Barry, known as The Brain.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Would you like to go first or second on Sport?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I would like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54And here we go with your first Sport question.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57What is the first name of the elder Brownlee brother,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00a double Olympic gold medal-winning triathlete?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I have heard of the Brownlees.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'm not particularly good at Olympic questions.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11There's something in the back of my mind ringing Alistair.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I've not got a lot to go on,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18but I'll go with Alistair, please, Jeremy.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Alistair is your answer, and it's absolutely correct, well done.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25So that the other brother is named what, Eggs?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Jonathan.- Jonathan and Alistair, the two brothers.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Barry, which tennis player is nicknamed the King of Clay
0:13:32 > 0:13:35due to his Grand Slam success on that surface?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Well, Rafael Nadal has won a load of French Opens, one after the other,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47and they are all played on clay, so I think it has to be Rafael Nadal.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Rafael Nadal is the right answer, well done.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So one each.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53And we go back to you, Stuart.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Which position in rugby union is traditionally classed
0:13:56 > 0:13:58as either blindside or openside?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I was fearing getting a rugby question, Jeremy.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Rugby's not my particular strong point.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I wouldn't say it's a hooker, but I haven't got a clue.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I'd have to go for a guess, and I'll go with flanker,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- please, Jeremy.- Barry, is he right?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18He's totally right.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Well done, Stuart, you're scoring well.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Scoring for the team here.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23So Barry, to keep up -
0:14:23 > 0:14:26which men's squash player won ten consecutive
0:14:26 > 0:14:27British Open singles titles
0:14:27 > 0:14:30between 1982 and 1991?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Oh. Well, I was hoping Jonah Barrington
0:14:38 > 0:14:40came up, but then Jahangir Khan came up,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43who's also had a very successful record.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45So it's a question of dates.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I think Jonah Barrington is earlier than that,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49so I'm going to say Jahangir Khan.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You're quite right, Barry, well done.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Jahangir Khan is the answer, so two each now.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56This can be crucial, Stuart,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58here's your question.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01At which international cricket ground might a player
0:15:01 > 0:15:03open the bowling from the Fort End?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I'm not familiar with the Fort End.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11I know a little bit about cricket
0:15:11 > 0:15:14but my knowledge doesn't stretch this far, unfortunately.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- I will say Galle.- OK, Galle.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Galle is the right answer.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Three out of three!
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Playing well, maybe you're rescuing your team here.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Barry, you need this to stay in.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Who was the first Dutch cyclist to win the Tour de France?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I know the first of quite a few nations who have won
0:15:40 > 0:15:43the Tour de France, but the Dutch one has escaped me.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46So let's have a think if any of the names ring any sort of bell.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48I think if it was Jan Janssen,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I would have probably remembered the name,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52because of the alliteration.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56So on the basis that he's alliterative, I'll discount him,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and I'll try Joop Zoetemelk,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01and my apologies for my Dutch pronunciation!
0:16:01 > 0:16:02OK, I'm told it's "Yoop".
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- "Yoop".- "Zoetemelk" you got completely right.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07But it's not him. Oh, Barry, it's Jan Janssen!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Ah! Never...
0:16:09 > 0:16:13There we are, so it was the alliterated one.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Well done, Stuart, you've just done
0:16:14 > 0:16:16a beautiful operation there in the Sport round.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Just when we thought it was getting difficult for the
0:16:18 > 0:16:23Challengers, you've won through. You will be in the final. Please return to us, both of you.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24One more round to go.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Now, maybe Risky Quizness are on the turn.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31They have lost two brains from the final round,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33but they have now knocked out an Egghead.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36So this could be crucial, this next round.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37It's Music. Last round before the final,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and it's going to be Abbas or Dave.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- It's going to be...- It's going to be me.- Yeah.- Yeah.- Abbas, OK.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Against which Egghead?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48You could either have Pat or Chris, two of the gents here.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50We may as well try and knock out Pat.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Yeah. Let's go for it. - Have a crack at Pat.- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- We'll go for Pat. - Take a crack at Pat.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56So it's Abbas from Risky Quizness
0:16:56 > 0:16:58versus Pat from the Eggheads
0:16:58 > 0:17:01and for the last time, please go to our Question Room.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05OK, Abbas, you ready for Music?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Yes.- I know you've met a lot of famous people,
0:17:07 > 0:17:11for example the former president of Pakistan.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Yeah.- Who was that? - General Pervez Musharraf.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17And did he pop round or something, or...?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19It was just like a get-together at my gran's house,
0:17:19 > 0:17:24and this was after he resigned as president,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and he was visiting the UK.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31So one of my uncles arranged for him to come round the house,
0:17:31 > 0:17:32and we all got together.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36We had some tea and just had a bit of a chat about Pakistan.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37What an amazing thing.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39So he's just sitting there in his civilian clothes,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41and he's not in power any more,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43and presumably he could talk quite freely?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Yeah, we were just talking, just like a general chitchat
0:17:45 > 0:17:47about the cricket,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50and about how Pakistan has moved forward.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Yeah. And then, I know you're a lover of sport,
0:17:52 > 0:17:53and particularly boxing.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Yeah, boxing as well. I mean, I have met quite a few boxers as well,
0:17:58 > 0:17:59like Jake LaMotta.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Jake LaMotta's amazing, cos he, I think, was born in the 1920s.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06And he was the one who was Raging Bull, the film, was based on.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12Yeah. I mean, when I did meet him, he was quite old, I mean fairly old,
0:18:12 > 0:18:13so...
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And he was a great bloke as well.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18We had a conversation about boxing.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22I mean, he visited one of our local gyms where we used to box.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Wonderful. You had a kind of
0:18:24 > 0:18:26lifetime dream come true there, did you?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It was a dream come true, because I am an avid boxing fan as well,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30so I do generally watch boxing as well.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Do you box yourself?- I mean,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I used to, but not any more, as you can tell!
0:18:34 > 0:18:35I wouldn't say that at all -
0:18:35 > 0:18:37you look like you could take Pat out any time!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- What are you saying, Jeremy?!- But it has to be done with quiz questions,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45unfortunately! Music, Abbas, do you want to go first or second?
0:18:45 > 0:18:46I'll go second.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53OK, Pat, it's your question first.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57"Don't think me unkind, words are hard to find"
0:18:57 > 0:19:00are the opening lyrics to which song by The Police?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Well, my first thought is De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13I think there was lots in that song about inarticulateness and the
0:19:13 > 0:19:16difficulty of saying things, so that's promising.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21Message In A Bottle starts off with something about a lone castaway.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25I think De Do Do Do is all about a person's inability to articulate
0:19:25 > 0:19:29their feelings and express themselves, so I'll go for that.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da is the correct answer.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37# Don't think me unkind... #
0:19:37 > 0:19:38- How does it go, Steve?- Like that.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Yep! You're right.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41THEY LAUGH
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Someone said, you know, it was in Sting's
0:19:44 > 0:19:48quite pretentious phase, and it's a reference to Dadaism.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Oh.- Just so as you know.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51OK, Abbas, here's your question.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Which of these is the common name for a popular composition
0:19:55 > 0:19:57by the German composer Pachelbel?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04That's P-A-C-H-E-L-B-E-L.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Pachelbel.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08OK.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I'm going to go for Air On The G String.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I'm just trying to work out who that is, is that Bach?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Yes.- OK, JS Bach did Air On The G String.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Minute Waltz, Eggheads?
0:20:20 > 0:20:21- Chopin.- Chopin.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Canon In D was the answer.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Is that one that people have at their weddings?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Yes. It's very common at weddings.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It's the theme to Ordinary People, the film Ordinary People.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Oh, yeah. OK. Pat, your question.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Who became the lead singer of the US band Pearl Jam in 1990?
0:20:41 > 0:20:46This is a pretty tight, grungy band from the Seattle area,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49and Eddie Vedder was their lead singer.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Eddie Vedder is correct.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Well done. He's got two, so,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Abbas, you need to get this right to stay in.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- Yeah.- By what name is the East Sussex-born musician
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Rory Graham better known?
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Stig of the Dump.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Now, is Stig of the Dump a musical person, Challengers?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I don't think it's Stig of the Dump.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I think Stormzy's name is Michael.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'd go Rag'N'Bone Man, personally.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Yeah, Dave, you're right.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Rag'N'Bone Man is the correct answer here, Abbas.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30So sorry. The round goes to Pat.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Just before the final,
0:21:31 > 0:21:32you've been knocked out by our Egghead.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36If you return to us, both of you, rejoin your teams,
0:21:36 > 0:21:37we'll see what happens next.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42It is time for the final round
0:21:42 > 0:21:44which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:47 > 0:21:49won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52So, Abbas, Jen and Jay from Risky Quizness,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55and also Barry from the Eggheads,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Dave and Stuart, you're playing to win Risky Quizness £13,000.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06What a jackpot we've got today!
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Steve, Pat, Chris and Beth,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12which is A, the Eggheads' reputation,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14but B, to keep piling up this cash and...
0:22:14 > 0:22:16well, I suppose, taunting Challengers with it
0:22:16 > 0:22:18because you love to snatch it away!
0:22:18 > 0:22:21As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23They're all General Knowledge,
0:22:23 > 0:22:24you can confer.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26So Dave and Stuart, the question is,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30can your two brains defeat these four mega brains?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34I know you can do it, I'm feeling it could be set for this.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37So I wish you well, and would you like to go first or second?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42OK, Dave,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45throughout this contest, you've been as cool as a cucumber.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Good luck to you and Stuart.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50What is the name of Colombia's official currency?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56We should know this.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58I'm trying to pull something from the back of my mind.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02I think Colombian dollar, CMD.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Is that the code
0:23:04 > 0:23:07for currency for Colombia?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Could be. I don't think it's the peso.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- No.- That sounds Mexican.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I don't think shilling sounds familiar.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19I'd be happy with a punt at dollar, I think.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I'm leaning towards dollar.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Yeah?- Yeah. When it first came up, I was leaning towards shilling,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26but the more I look at it, the more I think dollar.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Let's go dollar. - Are we agreed on dollar?- Yeah.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Yeah, we're going to go for dollar, Jeremy.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Colombian dollar is your answer.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Eggheads, is this right?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35- I'm not sure.- I think it's the peso.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Yeah, I'd be inclined towards peso.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39It's not shilling, that's for sure.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I know a couple HAVE changed to dollar, but...
0:23:41 > 0:23:42The answer is peso.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- OK.- It's hard, I know,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46and as bankers you deal with so many currencies
0:23:46 > 0:23:49that it's easy to get them mixed up.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Eggheads,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54of which organisation did Gianni Infantino
0:23:54 > 0:23:57become the new president in 2016?
0:24:00 > 0:24:01- FIFA.- FIFA, I think.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Yeah. - Definitely FIFA.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05He replaced the big man, didn't he? Sepp.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Yeah, I think it's FIFA.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09He took over as head of FIFA.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Head of FIFA is quite right.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12The first one is anti-doping, is that right?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Yeah, the World Anti-Doping Agency.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15And the second one is athletics.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20- It is.- FIFA is right, so they've gone ahead.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Catch up with this. Which British politician
0:24:23 > 0:24:26was nicknamed Fatty Pang by the Chinese media?
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- It wasn't Tony Blair. - It wasn't Tony Blair.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33No, it definitely wasn't Tony Blair. Let's think about the other two.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I'm trying to think if I've seen
0:24:35 > 0:24:38any of the other two in the media at all.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Fatty Pang...
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I'm trying to...
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Trying to think if that
0:24:44 > 0:24:47sort of rings a bell with anything, or...
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It doesn't with me. The only thing I can think with Pang is,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51does it fit in with Patten?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Again, this isn't...
0:24:56 > 0:24:59..something that we're quite sure of, Jeremy.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02So we're going to go for Chris Patten on the basis
0:25:02 > 0:25:04that it sounds sort of right.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06You're absolutely right, well done.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Chris Patten is the answer, nicknamed Fatty Pang.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13So, it's one each, let's see what the Eggheads do now.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Which world champion boxer legally added the word "Marvelous"
0:25:17 > 0:25:20to his name in 1982?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- ALL:- Marvin Hagler.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Marvelous Marvin Hagler. - That's him, yeah.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Yeah, that was Marvin Hagler, Jeremy.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Marvelous Marvin Hagler, quite right.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35OK, you've got to get this one right.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40In Greek mythology, who was the murderous uncle of Perdix?
0:25:40 > 0:25:41That's P-E-R-D-I-X.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Well, I thought, before it came up, it was Daedalus.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54The only thing that rings a bell with me is Minos and Minotaur,
0:25:54 > 0:25:59but that doesn't bring murder
0:25:59 > 0:26:02or anything to mind to me, so...
0:26:02 > 0:26:05If that was your gut feeling before the answers came up,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- I would stick with that. - Yeah. Again, it's not a cert.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Erm... I thought of Daedalus before it came up.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I don't know why,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'm not 100% certain,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19but that's sort of what I'd lean towards,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21so that's what we'll go for.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23OK, Daedalus...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25And this to stay in.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27The correct answer is Daedalus.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31That was brilliant, and particularly cos it was in your head
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- before we gave you the options. - Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I don't know, it just seemed to spring to my mind when I heard the
0:26:36 > 0:26:40question. I must have read it or seen it on the way up here, I think!
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Really?! Seen it on the way up here?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Yeah, we were testing all sorts of questions on the way up
0:26:45 > 0:26:48so I'm sure that it's...it's just sort of stuck in my memory.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51OK, Eggheads, you can take the contest now.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53If not, we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Here is your third question.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58In which part of the human body would you find the muscles
0:26:58 > 0:27:02called the sternocleidomastoids?
0:27:02 > 0:27:03That's all one word.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08That'd be your neck.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09- Yeah.- Sterno...
0:27:09 > 0:27:12The sternum's down there, the mastoids are up here.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Yeah. Got to be right.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16You'd find those in your neck, Jeremy.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21Right. If you are correct, you've ended the contest.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23If you're wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25The brilliant Daedalus answer, has it saved you?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Let's see.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30The sternocleidomastoids are in...
0:27:30 > 0:27:31..the neck.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Bad luck, because you were a 1 note away from taking them
0:27:42 > 0:27:44to Sudden Death in the final round.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Yeah. Close one.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47- Close.- Yeah.- Very close.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Commiserations, Risky Quizness.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52You ran them close, with £13,000 to play for.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54The Eggheads have done what comes naturally.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56You did get three out of three in the final,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59and maybe we didn't see your full power today, Eggheads, I don't know.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01But this winning streak continues.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05It does mean the Challengers don't go home with the £13,000.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08We will roll that money over to our next show.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I don't think you will ever be beaten.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Join us next time to see if a new team can take them down
0:28:15 > 0:28:17for £14,000.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Until then, goodbye.
