0:00:04 > 0:00:09These 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 Challengers pit their
0:00:26 > 0:00:29wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34And before we start, Pat, you have a question for the viewers at home?
0:00:34 > 0:00:39I have. Which animal has a scientific name that translates as
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Harris's meat lover?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Harris's meat lover?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46All right. Want to think about that at home,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Pat will have the answer for you later on.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50OK, let's get on with the contest.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Taking on the might of the Eggheads today are Burnley Is Babylon,
0:00:54 > 0:00:55from Lancashire. Now,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58this team of friends share a passion for quizzing and often attend a
0:00:58 > 0:01:02weekly quiz held by team captain Andy at the Bridge Pub in Burnley.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04So let's meet them.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Hello, I'm Andy, and I'm a paralegal officer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm James, and I'm a legal finance worker.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Bodie, and I'm an artist and designer.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hello, I'm Benny, and I'm a library assistant.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Hi, my name is Kieran, and I'm an IT manager.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20So, Andy and team, hello.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21- ALL:- Hello!- Welcome.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Burnley, great footballing town.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26And I'm guessing you're all fans of the team, are you?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- We are, yes.- No.- Ooh, we've got...?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I'm an armchair Liverpool fan.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Oh, gosh, OK. I shouldn't have mentioned it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34So what brings you all together, Andy?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I run a local pub quiz every Wednesday night,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41and a few of us attend there on quite a regular occasion,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and we're locals in the pub.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- So, yeah.- And the pub is called the Bridge, but Burnley Is Babylon,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49the team name, is based on something else?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Yes, it was an obscure Russ Abbott hit from the early '80s.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55We think round about 1984.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59And we think it's probably the only top-40 hit that has featured Burnley
0:01:59 > 0:02:01in the title. We thought it would be quite fitting.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Challengers, good luck to you.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Every day, there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15So, Burnley Is Babylon, the Eggheads have won the last three games,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18which means there's £4,000 to play for today if you beat them.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Do you want to try?
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Yeah!- Oh, yes!- Good. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29It's going to be one of you against either Dave, Beth, Barry, Pat or Chris.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- I'd say James.- I'll have a crack at that.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- James?- So we're going to put James forward.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37- James, yeah.- And who against?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Not Dave, because he's a taxi driver, he'll know his geography.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43He knows where he's going. So, rule out Dave.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Same goes for Chris, ex-train driver, he knows where he's going,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- doesn't he?- Well, he can't steer if he's driving a train, but, yeah,
0:02:50 > 0:02:51you're right.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Go for Beth?- Beth, maybe.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Go against Beth at Geography. - I love the logic.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So, Dave - taxi driver, they're saying?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00No, I'm not a taxi driver.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Oh, dear!- You need a driving licence to be a taxi driver,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I don't have one of those!
0:03:05 > 0:03:09OK. But Chris definitely is a train driver.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11So, James from Burnley Is Babylon,
0:03:11 > 0:03:12is going to be playing Beth from the Eggheads,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14she's definitely not a taxi driver.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Have you travelled a lot, James?
0:03:22 > 0:03:23I've travelled quite a bit, yeah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Throughout Europe, Africa, India.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Yeah, I love travelling.- Any one place you still want to go to?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Out of anywhere, I'd say Tokyo.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33I'd love to go to Tokyo.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34I'm a record collector,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and apparently they have some of the best record shops in the world in
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Tokyo, so...- Well, good luck against Beth here.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40It's Geography, James.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43I'll go first, please.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48James, here we go, your first question -
0:03:48 > 0:03:52which of Spain's borders does it share with Portugal?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I think that's west, Jeremy.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58It is west, well done.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Beth, which of these island groups lies in the Indian Ocean?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Well, when we were going to our honeymoon in Sri Lanka,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13we had a stop off in the Maldives.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17That's on the way to Sri Lanka, in the Indian Ocean,
0:04:17 > 0:04:18so it's the Maldives.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Maldives is right, Beth, well done.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25James, Chichester is the county town of which English county?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31That's a tricky one.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I don't think it's West Sussex.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36I'm torn between Hampshire and Dorset.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm going to say Hampshire.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44It's funny this, as soon as it said Chichester, I thought Dorset.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46What do you think, Beth? I think it's West Sussex.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I've actually sung in Chichester Cathedral.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51It is West Sussex, James.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Oh.- Beth, your chance to take the lead.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Which of these Californian cities lies furthest to the south?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05San Francisco's quite up far in the north.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06And, funnily,
0:05:06 > 0:05:11I was looking at something to do with Donald Trump's wall for between
0:05:11 > 0:05:13America and Mexico,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17and noticed that San Diego was relatively close to the border,
0:05:17 > 0:05:18which would put it right down in the south.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- So, San Diego.- Yes, San Diego's right.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25OK, so, James, that means you need to get this one right.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28What is the official currency of Cambodia?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Ooh, again, I'm struggling with that one.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Currency's not something I know a lot about.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I'm going to guess at the riel.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41All right, the riel.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Now, currencies, quizzers love.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Just before you say the answer, lempira, where is that, Eggs?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Honduras?- Honduras.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Dinar?- That's countries like Jordan.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Yes, I've heard of it quite a lot, the dinar, yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- And so it's the riel, is it?- Yes.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57It's the riel, James, well done.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59That's a hard old question.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04But Beth can take it with this - what is the highest peak in Antarctica?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Hmm.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14This isn't something I readily know.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I was expecting something else to come up, and it hasn't.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20That's put my Antarctica geography out.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25So, let's do Judith's magic right, the Vinson Massif.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Vinson Massif is quite right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Oh! Thank you, Judith!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33It does sound like the sort of gang that Ali G is in, doesn't it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36But, no, it's the highest peak in Antarctica.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Well done, Beth, you're playing well at the moment,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41you're winning a lot of rounds. Sorry, James, you've been knocked out.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Come back to us, early days, we'll play on.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48So, as it stands, Burnley Is Babylon have lost a brain from the final
0:06:48 > 0:06:50round, the Eggheads have not lost any.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52But, as I say, it's early days,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54and there's plenty of time to power back here, guys.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57The next subject for you is Science.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Where's the scientists?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Does somebody want to die on the sword on this one?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01This is one we were hoping wouldn't come up.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Yeah. Do you want me to do Science?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- It's you or I.- Do you want to take a punt?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07All right, who are you picking?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08OK, Bodie, is it?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11All right. Against anyone but Beth.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I'll go for... I think I'm going to go for Dave.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- The taxi driver?- The taxi driver.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Bodie from Burnley Is Babylon versus Dave,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25please now go to the Question Room to face those questions on Science.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Well, I can see there's a common theme in your team, Burnley,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33because James was talking about his record collection and you're a DJ as
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- well?- This is true, yes, and have been for some time now.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Good luck, Bodie, on Science, against Dave, the taxi driver.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42First, please, Jeremy.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Here is your first question, Bodie, good luck.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50What type of diet does an elephant have?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59I would say...herbivorous for this.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Yeah, just eating greens, you're right, herbivorous is right.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04- OK.- No meat.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Dave, which Australian bird
0:08:07 > 0:08:11is the second-largest in the world after the ostrich?
0:08:14 > 0:08:20I associate kiwis with New Zealand, associate rhea with South America.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22So I'll go with emu, please.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25And the emu is quite right, well done.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26OK, over to you, Bodie.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Which of these is a contagious skin infection that causes sores and
0:08:30 > 0:08:31blisters?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Hmm. I'm not entirely sure.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I think I'll go down the middle with impetigo.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Impetigo's the right answer, well done.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Thank you.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Dave, on the periodic table,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55the names of how many chemical elements begin with the letter P?
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Good question. Phosphorus and platinum and plutonium.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Let's see if we can go further!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09See if we can get another one.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Right, sorry, Jeremy, I'm not going to get there.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I can't think, the brain has gone.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Three.- Three, OK.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24You're some way off, it's nine.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25OK, who's going to do this?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Barry, Beth?- Platinum,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30polonium, promethium.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I'll shout them out so Dave can hear - platinum, polonium, promethium,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- phosphorus...- Palladium.- Palladium.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Is it pro...?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Protactinium.- Protactinium.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Oh, Pat. Showing off now.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Can't remember how many we've got now.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- We're above six.- We got above six, anyway.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53So, nine is the answer, Dave.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Back to you, Bodie. You can take the round with this.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Which Nobel Prize was Yoshinori Ohsumi awarded in 2016
0:10:00 > 0:10:04for his discovery of mechanisms of autophagy?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Hmm, tricky one.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15I think I'm going to rule out Physiology or Medicine.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Chemistry and Physics, I'm torn between.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20I think...
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Yeah, I'm going to go with Physics, please, Jeremy.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's actually Physiology or Medicine.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29So, Dave has a chance to come back in.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Dave, your third question.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Bariatrics is the branch of medicine which deals with
0:10:32 > 0:10:34the causes, prevention and treatment of what?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Bariatrics.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45No, I'm not getting anything.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Not getting anything, I'm going to go with obesity.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You're right, Dave, well done, it's obesity.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Well, well...
0:10:51 > 0:10:54It's also the word for when Barry gets three questions right in a row.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55A Barry hat-trick. THEY LAUGH
0:10:58 > 0:11:01OK, three questions each, we go to Sudden Death now, Bodie.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03You're playing well.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05And it gets a bit harder, because I don't give you alternatives.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Here's your question - which manned Apollo mission was the first to land on the moon?
0:11:12 > 0:11:17My instinct's saying 13, but there's also nine
0:11:17 > 0:11:18in there as well.
0:11:19 > 0:11:2216's appearing as well for some reason.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23I'm going to go Apollo 16.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Apollo 16, OK.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Let me just ask your team-mates here.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Team-mates?- We think it's 11.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Yeah, it is 11.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Oh!
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Apollo 11 is the answer.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Let's see whether Dave can capitalise.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Dave, for the round -
0:11:34 > 0:11:40which planet in our solar system is closest in size to the Earth?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41It's either Venus or Mars.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Right.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49No real authority, I'm going to go Venus, please.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Venus is the right answer, Dave.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53You've taken the round on Sudden Death. Sorry, Bodie.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Come back to us, we've got the third round to play.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Do we want the list?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Yes.- All the Ps.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01This is meat and drink for them.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Potassium, palladium, phosphorus, platinum, plutonium, polonium,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08praseodymium,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10promethean and then your one, Pat.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Protactinium.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Protactinium. As it stands, Burnley is Babylon have lost two brains from
0:12:15 > 0:12:18the final round, but you're giving us a great game here, guys.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19The Eggheads have not lost any,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21and you can see the uncertainty on this side.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22So just keep pressing.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25The next subject for you is Sport.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Who wants this?- I think that's got to be you, hasn't it?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29It's got to be Kieran, I think.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Yep. Kieran, all right, team manager.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Which Egghead? Can't be Beth or Dave.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- I'll take Chris on.- Kieran from Burnley Is Babylon takes on Chris
0:12:38 > 0:12:41on Sport from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46All right, Sport, Kieran, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Good luck. Which tennis player won his 18th Grand Slam singles title at
0:12:55 > 0:12:57the 2017 Australian Open?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I think it was Roger Federer.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It was Roger Federer.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Chris, what name is given to the power-lifting exercise
0:13:09 > 0:13:13that involves a loaded barbell being picked up from the ground?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Hmm.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Well, since you'd have to go down on your hunkers to pick it up off the
0:13:21 > 0:13:23ground, I'll say it's a squatlift.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I would think the same, but you are wrong, my friend.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28The word is deadlift.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Uh-huh.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Deadlift is the answer. This is good, Kieran.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33See if we can get you into the final here.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35In February 2017,
0:13:35 > 0:13:40who became the first non-league football team to reach the quarterfinals
0:13:40 > 0:13:42of the FA Cup for 103 years?
0:13:45 > 0:13:52Well, since they beat Burnley in the quarterfinals, it's Lincoln City.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I am so sorry to remind you of that.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57That's very, very awkward.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Very awkward, but at least it meant it stuck in your mind.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Lincoln City is the right answer, that came in handy.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Chris - and you need this, Chris -
0:14:07 > 0:14:11which Australian driver finished third in the 2016 Formula 1 World
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Championship?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I think that was Mark Webber.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I know it doesn't look like it's Daniel Ricciardo,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25because it looks like an Italian name, it looks like Ricciardo,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27but he is actually the answer, Chris.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Is he?- Well done, Kieran, turned it around for your team.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Nice work, 2-0.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34And you will be in the final round.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Return to us, gentlemen, one more round to play before the final.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42So, a fightback now by Burnley Is Babylon.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43What's happening here, Eggheads?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46They have lost two brains from the final round.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50The Eggs have lost Chris and the next subject is Film And TV.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53So, see if you can level it here, guys.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Who wants this?- Benny.- Yeah, it has to be me.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59OK, Benny, a library assistant, against which Egghead?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01You've got either of the two gents here, Barry and Pat.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'll go for Pat, please.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07All right, Pat. So, it's going to be Benny from Burnley Is Babylon -
0:15:07 > 0:15:09a lot of Bs today!
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- All the Bs.- Doing something here.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Versus Pat from the Eggheads.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15And to ensure there's no conferring, please, for the last time,
0:15:15 > 0:15:16take your positions.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20So, Film And TV, Benny, would you like to go first or second against Pat?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29And here we go. Which genre of film is La La Land,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone?
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I know that for a fact is musical.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- You're sure it's not a war film?- I'm pretty certain it's not a war film.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Quite right. Well done.
0:15:45 > 0:15:51Pat, which Oscar did Casey Affleck win in 2017 for his work on the film
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Manchester By The Sea?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01He's an actor, very good, he was in the Jesse James,
0:16:01 > 0:16:05The Assassination Of Jesse James, he was really good in that,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08and he was in Manchester By The Sea.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13- Best actor.- Best actor is correct.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Back to you, Benny. The TV talent show Let It Shine sees contestants
0:16:17 > 0:16:20competing to star in a musical based on the songs of which group?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26It has to be Take That,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30because they had a single called Shine, so Take That.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Yeah, that's right, and good old Gary Barlow is part of the show.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Take That.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Pat, what is the profession of Keanu Reeves' character in the John Wick
0:16:39 > 0:16:40film series?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47I know he becomes enraged when his pet dog is kidnapped or killed or
0:16:47 > 0:16:51something and takes disproportionate revenge.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55What is he? Hmm, he could be a policeman.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00I have a faint memory he's a retired hit man and foolish people don't
0:17:00 > 0:17:05leave him alone but go and torment his pet and pay a heavy price.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07A hit man.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- You like that, Benny?- Yeah, he's got it spot on, yeah, hit man.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Hit man is right. OK, Benny, over to you.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19The BBC TV series Taboo, starring Tom Hardy, is set during which century?
0:17:24 > 0:17:25I don't know why,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28but for some reason, the 1920s popped into my head,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31and I can't fully explain why.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33But because that's my gut instinct,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I'm going to go for the 20th century.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38OK, 1920s would be 20th century, is it the right answer?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Team? Do we know?
0:17:40 > 0:17:41I think it's the 19th century.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It's the East India Company, yeah.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45The East India Company.
0:17:45 > 0:17:4819th is the answer we were looking for, Benny.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Never mind.- So Pat has the chance to take the round, here we go.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Who played the geneticist Yvonne Carmichael in the TV drama series
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Apple Tree Yard?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I watched this series, it was quite good.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06And it was Emily Watson.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10OK, we've broken our long tradition of getting questions that involve
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Vicky McClure wrong here, because you have got the right answer.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Emily Watson it is, Pat, three out of three.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18He's a hard man to beat, Benny.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Yes, very hard, yes. I've learned the hard way, haven't I?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24But, having said that, you could still win, your team.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Come back to us, we'll play the all-important final round.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33it's time for our final round, which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35But, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-head
0:18:35 > 0:18:37won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41So that is James, Bodie and Benny from Burnley Is Babylon.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43All the Bs. And Chris from the Eggheads,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45would you please now leave the studio?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well, great game so far, and here we are, Andy and Kieran,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53you're playing to win Burnley Is Babylon £4,000.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Dave, Beth, Barry and Pat,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00which is the Eggheads' towering reputation.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn, this time,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05they're all General Knowledge.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07You can confer, gentlemen, so, the question is,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10can your two brains defeat these four over here?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11I'm sure it's possible.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Andy, Kieran, do you want to go first or second?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16We had a chat about it, we're going to go first,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18we're going to stay with what we've done so far.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19So, first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24All right, good luck to you both.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Here we go, first question -
0:19:26 > 0:19:30which of these comedians was knighted in the 2017 New Year's Honours list?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Right, right.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Right, it's not Rowan Atkinson. - I'm going over to you on this one.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41It's not Rowan Atkinson. It's definitely not John Cleese.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- So it's Ken Dodd.- I've bowing to Kieran's superior knowledge here,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48and we're going to say that it's Ken Dodd.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Ken Dodd is the right answer.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Sir Ken.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Eggheads, Sean Spicer was selected by Donald Trump for which role in
0:19:55 > 0:19:56December, 2016?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Press Secretary, everyone?- Yeah.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Donald Trump's Press Secretary.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yes, you're right, White House Press Secretary.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Back to you, Challengers.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16Who became the Metropolitan Police's first female Commissioner in 2017?
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Well...- The name that jumps out at me is Cressida Dick.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29That's right. Leanne Wood is nothing to do with the police.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32OK, Cressida Dick, we know is a high-ranking police officer.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- That's right, yeah.- We're not totally sure,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37but we certainly know that she's a high-ranking police officer,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39so we're going to go for Cressida Dick.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Cressida Dick is right. So you go ahead.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Eggheads, to catch up - in Greek mythology,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47which of these was a centaur?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Chiron, everybody?- Yeah.- Chiron.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Orthrus was a two-headed dog,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58and Echidna was a monster of some description.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00But the centaur was Chiron.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Chiron is your answer.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03You're correct.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Your question, Challengers -
0:21:06 > 0:21:09see if you can get three in a row and the pressure will be on,
0:21:09 > 0:21:11we've seen them collapse before.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Which musicians featured on the Clean Bandit hit, Rock-a-bye,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19which spent nine weeks at the top of the UK singles chart?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Right.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I'm wishing we had a couple of our other members still with us.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35I don't think it's Halsey and MO.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36I don't think it's Sean Paul and Anne-Marie.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38That's the one I would go for.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Oh, right. OK. Go with your gut.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- You're happy for me...?- Yeah, yeah.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Not certain whatsoever.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47We think we've ruled out Halsey and MO.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- And my gut feeling is Sean Paul and Anne-Marie.- OK.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I don't say that with any conviction.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55And all the record collectors are at the back.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Let's check with them, what's the answer here, guys?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Bodie, what is it?- We've gone for Sean Paul and Anne-Marie, too,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02so hopefully we're right.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You're all right, Sean Paul and Anne-Marie it is.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Well done! Very tricky when you lose your music fans
0:22:07 > 0:22:10and you get a music question.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Now, Eggheads, here we are.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13£4,000 they are playing for,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17and you need to get this question right or you have been given
0:22:17 > 0:22:19a clobbering.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Which of these authors was born first, Eggheads?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Hmm.- They're all...
0:22:29 > 0:22:34- Nasty.- Michael Crichton was born in the '40s. '42-ish.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I thought Grisham was the '50s.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Stephen King is in his, what, 60s?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Stephen King must be the youngest.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46His first novel was, what, '70s?
0:22:46 > 0:22:47'74, five?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Yeah, I think Crichton was writing before that.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Oh, Crichton was writing before that, but...
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I think he was born in '42, or something like that.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57My gut feel must be Michael Crichton, out of those.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58You think Crichton's '42?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I think he was around...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02We can't put Stephen King further back than that?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I don't think so, no.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05- He's younger than that. - I think he's younger.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08OK, so we're all happy with Crichton, then?
0:23:08 > 0:23:12As you realise, Jeremy, we found this was quite a tough question, but
0:23:12 > 0:23:15we've come to the conclusion that the oldest of those and therefore
0:23:15 > 0:23:18the one that was born first would be Michael Crichton.
0:23:18 > 0:23:25There's 13 years between the birth year of the first and the last-born.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29The youngest is John Grisham, or the one born latest, I should say.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31So, 1955.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Stephen King was born in 1947.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Michael Crichton, 1942.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Well done.- So you got it right.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38'42, straight in...
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Beth said '42 as well, which was absolutely brilliant.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Well done, Beth. - Helps if you do him for Mastermind.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Is that right?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46I did his novels.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Brilliant, Beth.- Ah, OK, right.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52After three questions, the scores are level, we go on to Sudden Death.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56And to make it that bit harder, you don't get alternative options.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Here we go, Challengers.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Cantabrigian is a noun that refers to a member or a graduate of which
0:24:02 > 0:24:04English university?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Can you spell it, please, Jeremy? - Yes, of course, it's all one word.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11C-A-N-T-A-B-R-I-G-I-A-N.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Cantabrigian. All one word.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18I've seen it sometimes when people have it after their name,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20you'll see Cantab.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24And, now I think about it, it may be Cambridge rather than Canterbury.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28It sounds like Canterbury, but that would be the obvious one.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31But I'm not sure if there is a university, necessarily,
0:24:31 > 0:24:32in Canterbury.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36So I think it's actually Cambridge.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- I think I've probably talked myself into that.- Yeah, erm...
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Go with Cambridge.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50We think, again not with much certainty,
0:24:50 > 0:24:51it's Cambridge.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54You did exactly the right thing there, yes, you're right.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- Because that Cantab is the one you've seen after...- Yes.- ..the Cambridge graduates.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It sounds more like Canterbury, but it's not.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03So Cambridge is right.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Sudden Death, here we go, Eggheads, you need this to stay in.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08The middle names of Princess Charlotte, born in 2015,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11are Elizabeth and what?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Diana?- Diana.- OK?
0:25:13 > 0:25:18OK. Well, I think she was named after the famous Princess Diana.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Diana is correct.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Well done. Beth, again.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Back to you, Challengers. Who won the British Male Solo Artist
0:25:25 > 0:25:30and British Album of the Year awards at the 2017 Brit Awards
0:25:30 > 0:25:33just over a year after his death?
0:25:34 > 0:25:39- Bowie?- Yeah, well, the Brit Awards are around about February-time, aren't they?
0:25:39 > 0:25:44David Bowie died, I think it was January, towards the end of January.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46So, working on that basis...
0:25:46 > 0:25:51Yeah. David Bowie passed away in January, I think it was,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55the year before. So on that basis, we'll go for David Bowie.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57David Bowie is right, well done.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Eggheads, The Midnight Gang is a bestselling 2016 children's book
0:26:03 > 0:26:05by which author?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Get this wrong, you've lost.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Jacqueline Wilson?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I don't know.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I was going on the Jacqueline Wilson end.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- We don't know? Do you actually know?- No.- Nobody's got an idea.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It's not Julia Donaldson.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25If we stick with Jacqueline Wilson,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29because she's more likely to have written older books, like
0:26:29 > 0:26:31the Tracy Beaker ones, doesn't she?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Walliams' titles are more way out.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Like Gangster Granny.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44All I'm saying is that Tracy Beaker, a gang, it could be,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- it could tag in.- We're grasping at straws, really.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Yeah, we are, clutching at straws. Yeah, go on.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53OK, well, as you can tell, Jeremy, we're all at sea at this.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57So we're going to go for probably one of the most popular of all children's
0:26:57 > 0:27:00authors, and we'll go for Jacqueline Wilson.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02OK. I understand the title thing,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05I understand that sounds like more of a Tracy Beaker kind of title
0:27:05 > 0:27:07than, say, David Walliams is.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Do you know this, by any chance?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11No. We would have said David Walliams.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13You would have been right.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16You've got it wrong, Eggheads, it is David Walliams.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19We say congratulations, Challengers, you have won!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26There we go, you did it.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Nice, methodical play.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Told it in the final.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33That was the key thing. Well done. Congratulations to Burnley Is Babylon,
0:27:33 > 0:27:34you've won £4,000.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- How are you feeling about that? - Speechless!
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40You're officially cleverer than the Eggheads,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43they're going to have a big inquiry now about what went wrong.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45You've proved that they can definitely be beaten on children's books,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48who would have thought it? Oh, and I mustn't forget, Pat,
0:27:48 > 0:27:50your question that you asked at the beginning.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Which animal has a scientific name that translates as Harris's meat lover?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Brilliant question, what's the answer?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59It's the Tasmanian Devil.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03He became an object of interest to George Harris in 1807,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and he thought it was an opossum that looked like a bear
0:28:05 > 0:28:08and gave him a name. That name was then ruled out,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11because the common wombat had taken that name.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16And in fact, about 30 years after Harris's death,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18a Frenchman called it Sarcophilus harrisii,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20so it lives on in his honour.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Brilliant. Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:23 > 0:28:25will be just as successful.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Well done, Burnley.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Everyone's cheering in Burnley tonight.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Until we meet again, goodbye.
