0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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
0:00:26 > 0:00:30put their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads. We're not exaggerating, are we, Eggs?
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- No.- Not at all.- Unbeatable.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35JEREMY LAUGHS
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:38 > 0:00:40are the Stand Up Guys.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Now, the majority of this team met
0:00:41 > 0:00:44while studying at the University of Edinburgh,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47and regularly quiz together at various pubs around the city.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48So let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm David, and I'm an investment manager.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Sanj, and I'm an accountant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Douglas, and I'm also an accountant.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Stuart, and I'm a postgraduate student.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Euan, and I'm a structural engineer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- So, David and team, hello. - Hello.- ALL: Hello.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05So, basically friends, quizzers, coming together here.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Yeah, friends from university, football team and work, so, yeah.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11And remind me why you're called the Stand Up Guys.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14So, the first quiz we entered when we formed, there were
0:01:14 > 0:01:18no seats left in the bar so we had to stand for the whole quiz
0:01:18 > 0:01:20and that's how it all started.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Did you win that one? - We came a respectable third
0:01:22 > 0:01:24and won a bottle of wine.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26And subsequently you've quizzed and come second?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Yes, we have. That's right. So we're thinking third...
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Can you see a pattern here, Eggs?
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Third, second...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- First.- Yeah.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I wasn't even going to say it because I think we just need
0:01:36 > 0:01:38to let that thought settle with them.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Unnerve them a bit. You've got all bases covered?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- You've got Music and Science? - Yeah, I think we do.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44We're quite a rounded team.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46OK, well, good luck to you, Challengers.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Thank you.- Every day there is
0:01:48 > 0:01:50£1,000-worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53If they fail to defeat the Eggheads we roll the prize money
0:01:53 > 0:01:55over to the next show.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58The last team to play them snatched all the money, I'm afraid,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00because the Eggheads had a bit of a 'mare.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Didn't you? And it means there is £1,000 for you to play for today.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Would you like to crack on? - Absolutely. Brilliant.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Good stuff. So the first head-to-head battle is on
0:02:08 > 0:02:09the subject of Music.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So it's one of you against either Lisa, Beth, Barry,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Pat or Chris. - Sanj?- I think Euan is maybe better.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- I can take this one. - Let's go for that.- Go on, Euan.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22OK, our engineer's going in on Music, against which Eggheads?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You can have any one of them.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Go for it.- Lisa?- Lisa?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I'll play Lisa.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31That's a...cold start for you today.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Straight in.- OK.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34All right? She's up for it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37And we may even get Lisa to sing.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Euan from The Stand Up Guys standing up against Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Please go to our legendary Question Room.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47So Music, and you are up against Lisa.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49And would you like, Euan, to go first or second?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'd like to go first.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- That's the easiest question I'm going to ask you.- Great.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Here's your question. Which of these stage musicals set in Berlin?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Probably the only thing I didn't want to come up on this Music round
0:03:09 > 0:03:13was this kind of thing.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Erm... I...
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I really don't know. I think I'm going to have a bit of a punt and go
0:03:21 > 0:03:27for... The Phantom of the Opera.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I think The Sound of Music is a lot of rollicking around the hills.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Yeah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35The Phantom of the Opera, I thought might be Paris.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Is it?- Paris.- Paris.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Cabaret is...
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Well, it is sort of wartime, isn't it?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It is early-'30s Berlin, just before the rise of the Nazis.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Yeah. Oh, so it's pre-Hitler.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48So, Cabaret it is.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50OK, Lisa. In which year, Lisa,
0:03:50 > 0:03:55did Beyonce have her first solo UK number one single?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02That's actually quite hard.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08Erm, I'm a bit torn between 2003 and 2008.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12It's a question of remembering how long Destiny's Child were going for.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15And when she started. Now, I think it was Crazy In Love.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Was that the comeback number one or was that her first number one?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Now, I had 2005 in my head. That's really annoying
0:04:23 > 0:04:26because I'm now obviously between two stones.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32OK, let's have a think.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Yeah, OK, I think I can fairly safely rule out '98
0:04:37 > 0:04:41because she is younger than me, Beyonce.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43And I think she would have been...
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Destiny's Child would just have been getting off the ground then.
0:04:46 > 0:04:482003...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Even that might just be too young.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56OK, 2008.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- 2003 is the answer.- Oh, no, gutted!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So, Euan, this is good.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03- Yeah.- I'm back in.- Got away with it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Yeah, you're back in. Back in the game.
0:05:06 > 0:05:12Here's the question. What was the title of Oasis's 1994 debut album?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20'94...
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Erm...
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I've not actually heard of Be Here Now.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32I think there is a few singles from What's The Story
0:05:32 > 0:05:35that are around 1996.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38So would that...?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Or is it Definitely Maybe?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44It's really between all three of them, isn't it?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I'm going to have another bit of a guess at...
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I'm going to go Be Here Now, actually.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58OK, Be Here Now is your answer. The debut...
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Do you know, lads?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- I would have guessed What's The Story.- Yeah, we'd have guessed that.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Well, that is the absolutely brilliant defining album by them
0:06:06 > 0:06:09but it was their second. The answer is Definitely Maybe, Euan.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11So, Lisa, your question.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13"When your day is long and the night,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17"the night is yours alone," are the opening lines to which song by REM?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Oh, good. Back on firm ground with a lyrics question.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28That's Everybody Hurts.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Everybody Hurts is the answer.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32OK, so she's scored.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33So, Euan, you need this one.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- Yeah.- Big Love and Go Your Own Way are UK hit singles by which band?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47This is one of the questions I really, really should know.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Erm...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I don't think it's Pink Floyd.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I'm sorry, it's going to have to be another guess.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I'm going to go Led Zeppelin.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Argh!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Well, you're right it wasn't Pink Floyd.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Big Love, Go Your Own Way, are Fleetwood Mac.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Euan, so sorry, you have not scored and you are out and Lisa is in the
0:07:09 > 0:07:10final round but it's early days.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Please return to us and we'll play on.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17OK, as it stands, The Stand Up Guys have lost a brain from the final
0:07:17 > 0:07:20round. Yet to find our seat at the bar here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- But we're going to do it. We're going to.- We're going to.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It started badly for the last team, and then they beat them.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30The next subject is Politics.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32All right, guys.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Well, I'm going to rule myself out of that one straightaway.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Stuart, you said you were happy to do it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Yeah, I'm happy to do it. - You go for it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- OK.- Who is that, Douglas?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Yeah.- All right, Douglas, accountant, against which Egghead?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Anyone but Lisa.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Well, my gran warned me against picking Barry so I might not do that.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52HE LAUGHS
0:07:52 > 0:07:54The word's out among grannies.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Actually she will probably be quite impressed, so I WILL go Barry.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59THEY LAUGH
0:07:59 > 0:08:01He loves to play. So,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Douglas from The Stand Up Guys versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Every granny is concerned about Barry.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Now you've put me on the spot cos I would't want to upset your gran.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Yeah, well, if Gran is watching, we're sorry if what follows is not good.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19To ensure there's no conferring,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25So, Barry, you've got to try and do this
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- without upsetting Douglas's granny. - I'll do my best.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32OK, so, Douglas, would you like to go first or second on Politics?
0:08:32 > 0:08:33I'll go first, please.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39All right, here we go. Politics, your first question.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Which of these Russian and Soviet leaders was born first?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well, I'll rule out Putin to start with,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52so it's between Brezhnev and Gorbachev.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58I think Brezhnev was certainly before Gorbachev
0:08:58 > 0:09:02because Gorbachev was the one who helped dissolve, well, not helped,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05allowed the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07So I think I'll go Brezhnev, please.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Leonid Brezhnev is the right answer. Well done. OK.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Barry, James Ramsay MacDonald was the first leader of which political
0:09:14 > 0:09:17party to serve as Prime Minister of the UK?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23James Ramsay MacDonald was famously the first leader
0:09:23 > 0:09:25of the Labour Party to serve as Prime Minister.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Indeed so. Labour is right.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Douglas, Donald Trump was accused of refusing to shake the hand of which
0:09:33 > 0:09:36world leader in March, 2017?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Well, I'm pretty sure it's not Theresa May
0:09:42 > 0:09:47because I think he held her hand. I am not sure if he met Hollande.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48So I think it's Angela Merkel.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Yeah, you're playing well. It is indeed Angela Merkel.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55It was a very embarrassing moment in that sofa room, wasn't it?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I think she sort of initiated the handshake that didn't happen.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Barry, in Irish politics, Oireachtas is the Gaelic name for what?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09OK, well, the Prime Minister
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I'm pretty in Irish politics is the Taoiseach.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I'm not quite sure what an MP is
0:10:15 > 0:10:19but I think Oireachtas is the Gaelic name for the parliament.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I seem to remember you're quite good on your parliaments.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Did you do the Iceland one and the Greenland one and the Finland one?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Yes.- The Kipling and...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29The Iceland one is Althing, the oldest one in the world.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Anyway, you've got it right. Well done. Parliament.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34He's playing well, Douglas, but so far your granny
0:10:34 > 0:10:36is very proud of you.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Get this one right...- Maybe I should have taken her advice.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41This is good, it's going well.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Which Prime Minister of the UK was famously described by Edmund Burke
0:10:46 > 0:10:49as not merely a chip off the old block, but the old block itself?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Well, I don't think it's Neville Chamberlain.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Partly drawn to Pitt the Younger because I've got "the Younger"
0:11:01 > 0:11:04in the title. I'm not sure about Churchill,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07so I think I'll go for Pitt the Younger, actually.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Pitt the Younger is quite right.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Barry, to stay in.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17What was the nickname of US District Judge John Sirica who presided over
0:11:17 > 0:11:21the trials of the Watergate burglars in 1973?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I think Judge Roy John was an aside to Judge Roy Bean,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32so I shall discount that.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35And although Watergate was a long time ago, I seem to vaguely
0:11:35 > 0:11:39remember John Sirica was called Maximum John.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Yes, he was called Maximum John.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Well done. Three out of three for you both.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45With the scores level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternative options.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- OK.- So, Douglas, here we go.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Which politician, the MP for Clacton,
0:11:53 > 0:11:58left Ukip in 2017 and served as an independent MP?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I believe this is Douglas Carswell.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- It is!- He was a Tory before.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04It is. Went Tory, went Ukip, went independent.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Douglas Carswell. Correct.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Barry, to stay in. Which man, born in 1809, was nicknamed
0:12:10 > 0:12:12the Great Emancipator?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Oh. Oh, 1809!
0:12:15 > 0:12:16That's Abraham Lincoln.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Abraham Lincoln is right.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Douglas, who served
0:12:20 > 0:12:23as Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party
0:12:23 > 0:12:26from 1975 to 1991?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29I'm struggling now.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I'll go for a complete guess and I'll say Oliver Letwin.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40No, I think he's a somewhat different generation.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Oh, well. He might have been at university in 1975.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I'm not sure. This is a guy called Willie Whitelaw.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Didn't know him.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Barry. You can take the round with this.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53At the 1977 Conservative Party conference,
0:12:53 > 0:12:58who famously said, "Half of you may not be here in 30 or 40 years,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01"but I will be, and I want to be free."
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I think he was 16 years old at the time when he said that.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I think he subsequently became the MP for Richmond,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11before moving on to Foreign Secretary,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14and I'm pretty certain that was William Hague.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17William Hague is the right answer.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Oh! Sorry, gran!- Sorry. Sorry, gran.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21I don't believe it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I don't believe it. Oh, Barry,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- what have you done? - She will be furious.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Which part of the country does she live in?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28She lives in Airdrie.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31You're going to have to stay clear of there for a while, Barry.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Well done, though, you're in the final. Sorry, Douglas, you were
0:13:33 > 0:13:36beaten by our Egghead, but you played very, very well
0:13:36 > 0:13:38on Politics, may I say? So return to us, gentlemen.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Rejoin your teams and we'll play round three.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44So, as it stands, The Stand Up Guys have lost two brains from
0:13:44 > 0:13:47the final round, but they still look confident.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Absolutely.- You still look as if you're in command of the agenda.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52The Eggheads have not lost any so far,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56but they had a shocker last time, so let's see if we can rock them back
0:13:56 > 0:14:00on their heels. The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01So, David and team, who wants this?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- So, it's not a strong point for any of us.- We're all terrible at this.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06No, we're not great at this.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- What do we think? - I would think Sanj.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I think Stu is probably going to be better in the final.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Oh, no.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Don't put that kind of pressure on me.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18I really don't want to do Arts & Books. It's not my forte.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20By default, I'll take Arts & Books.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Sanj, OK, another accountant.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Against either Beth, Pat or Chris?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I will take Beth.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You're going to take Beth. Fine.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Sanj from The Stand Up Guys takes on Beth from the Eggheads.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Is this the moment they turn the tide?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Let's see. Please go to the Question Room.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Arts & Books, Sanj.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Would you like to go first or second against Beth?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42I'll go first.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Here we go.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51The artist Francisco Goya was born in 1746 in which country?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure about this one.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04The name sounds Spanish so I'm tempted to go for Spain.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08But it would be a guess, to be honest.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10It feels like it would be too obvious.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Let's just go Spain.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Yeah, Spain it is.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17- Oh, great!- Really!
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Beth, in Herman Melville's Moby Dick,
0:15:23 > 0:15:29what is the name of the one-legged sea captain who hunts relentlessly for the white whale?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37They are all characters in Moby Dick.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39It's not a book I've read, actually.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41But I think it's Captain Ahab.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44It is Ahab, yeah. I read it at college.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Very long. That's all I remember.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Sanj, which of these is an epic poem by John Milton?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59When you say an epic poem,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Inferno comes to mind but, again,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I'm not entirely sure where I'm getting that.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Wait a minute, I think Inferno is by Dante.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10So let's rule that one out.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Paradise Lost?
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Let's go Paradise lost.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19You've got it right. Well done.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Because Pilgrim's progress is Bunyan.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- It's Bunyan and Dante the other two, isn't it, Eggs?- Yeah.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Beth, your question.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29In Shakespeare's Othello, who says, "Oh, beware,
0:16:29 > 0:16:30"my lord, of jealousy.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34"It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on"?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I don't think Othello said it himself.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I'm thinking the "my lord" bit
0:16:43 > 0:16:47that would be probably either his wife or servant.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I'm terrible at Shakespeare plays.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Erm...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I will go with Iago.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Yeah. Exactly. Iago it is.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Well done. Not his wife.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01OK, she's hard to throw off, isn't she, Sanj?
0:17:01 > 0:17:06- Oh, yeah!- Get this one right, see if you can cause Beth some trouble.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Which of these is a famous work by Raphael?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Raphael.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I don't know why The Birth Of Venus is jumping out at me.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22It might just be the only one that's vaguely familiar.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I don't...
0:17:24 > 0:17:28It would be a guess. Erm...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I'll go Birth of Venus.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I'm trying to work out who that is.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35It's actually the School Of Athens is Raphael.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Cezanne is The Large Bathers and Botticelli is The Birth Of Venus.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40So you've got two out of three, Sanj.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Beth has a chance to take the round.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45The Storm On The Sea Of Galilee, Beth,
0:17:45 > 0:17:49famously stolen from a Boston art gallery in 1990,
0:17:49 > 0:17:50is a major work by which artist?
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Storm On The Sea Of Galilee.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Don't think it was Vermeer.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05But Rembrandt and Caravaggio were...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08They did biblical scenes.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16But Caravaggio, I think did more people, and I think Rembrandt
0:18:16 > 0:18:20may have done more scenes.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24So I think I'll stick with my first thought of Rembrandt.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Rembrandt is the answer, Beth.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27You've taken the round on that.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Well done. Sanj, beaten by our Egghead.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32And as a result you will not be able to help your team in the final round.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34But don't worry, they are not out of it yet.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Come back to us, we'll play on.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41OK, Stand Up Guys. You have lost three brains from the final round.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44David, any change of formation or tactics?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I think we saved the best till last.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50That will be Stuart, not me.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51But we'll see what comes up.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Here we go. The Eggheads have still not lost any brains.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56What will happen next?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57It's Geography.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Stuart or David?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03You are pretty confident on Geography, aren't you?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Reasonably.- But that's the risk of leaving me.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- That's a huge risk.- We have the utmost faith in you, David.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- You'll do it. - So you're going, David?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Actually, Stuart is going to take on Geography.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- And he's going to win.- Right.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20And you can take either of the two gents on this side of the table,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Pat or Chris.- Who do you fancy?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Known as The Shark and The Steamroller.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Take The Shark.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27JEREMY LAUGHS
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I'll go for Chris, please.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31You're going for Chris? OK.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32So, Stuart... Well, he's The Steamroller.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36But anyway, Stuart from The Stand Up Guys versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Please, for the last time, go to our Question Room.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43OK, good luck, Stuart. You're playing a great Egghead here.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Good old Chris. Would you like to go first or second?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47First, please.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56And here we go. Which of these upland areas is located in Wales?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Well, I can discount, straight off the bat, the Cairngorm Mountains.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09That either leaves the Cheviot Hills or the Cambrian Mountains.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14And I think it is the Cambrian Mountains.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17It is the Cambrian Mountains. Well done, Stuart. Good stuff.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19First point to you. One out of one.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Chris, lying on the ancient Silk Route,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24in which country is the city of Kashgar?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31It's just in the extreme west of China.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33It is, China is right.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Stuart, the Bulgarian seaport of Varna is located
0:20:37 > 0:20:38on which body of water?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I think, because of its location...
0:20:49 > 0:20:53..I'm fairly confident it's not the Mediterranean Sea.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56So it's between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I think it's the Black Sea.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00You're playing really well. Black Sea is right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02That's not easy, either.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Choosing between seas.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Chris, which of these islands is the largest?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Well, Jamaica is no real size, half the size of Cuba.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Iceland is quite large, but I think Borneo is even larger.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22So it's Borneo.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Yes, you've got it right. Again, not easy.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Borneo it is.
0:21:26 > 0:21:312-2. Stuart, Arnhem Land is an area in which part of Australia?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34So Arnhem is A-R-N-H-E-M.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Unfortunately it has got to be a guess.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46And I'm guessing Northern Territory.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Let's see. Lisa, do you know this? - Of course I don't, Jeremy!
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Always ask her Australia questions.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Northern Territory's right. What about that?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Is this the turning point?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Let's see. Chris could go on this question.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Here we go, Chris.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Mount Godwin Austen is an alternative name for which mountain?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10That the alternative name for K2.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Karakoram 2.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15K2 is correct. So, 3-3 after three questions.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Perfect scores so far.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19And, Stuart, we go to Sudden Death again.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22So it gets a bit harder, no options.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Which of the world's deserts, Stuart,
0:22:24 > 0:22:30is often said to take its name from the Mongolian for waterless place?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35There is a TV show out at the moment called Marco Polo
0:22:35 > 0:22:39and I'm sure the desert must feature in it,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41but I'm struggling to remember what it's called.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I don't know. For an answer, I know it's wrong,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48but I'll guess the Sahara desert, but it's not right.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51No, it's the Gobi. Gobi desert.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Chris, for the round. Sheringham,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Wells-next-the-Sea and Brancaster
0:22:55 > 0:22:58are places on the north coast of which English county?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00They are all in Norfolk.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Where the turkeys come from.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Beautiful. Norfolk.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Norfolk is correct. You've taken the round on Sudden Death.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Stuart, sorry. We nearly got one of you into the final there.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10- Almost.- Didn't quite happen.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Return to us and we will play the final round for £1,000.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18So this is what we've been playing towards, the climax.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Our final round. As always, it is General Knowledge.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24But I'm afraid those of you who've lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:23:24 > 0:23:26allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28So it's all from the Challengers' side, I'm afraid.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Sanj, Douglas, Stuart and Euan from The Stand Up Guys,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39All right, David, you're playing to win The Stand Up Guys £1,000.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Lisa, Beth, Parry, Pat, Chris,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50They are all going to be General Knowledge.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Normally I say you can confer, but sadly you're on your own.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57David, the main question is, can your one brain defeat these five?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00And it will give everyone's granny something to write home about.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Let's hope so.- Let's hope so. Do you want to go first or second?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Let's mix it up... Actually, let's not mix it up. I'll go first.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11OK, here we go with your first question.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14What name is given to the art or practice
0:24:14 > 0:24:18of clipping shrubs or trees into ornamental shapes?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I'm not a keen gardener, but...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30..I'm going to root out Ikebana, if that's how you say it.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37And also I'm kind of pulled towards topiary.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Is that how you say it?- Topiary.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Just something about it is leading me towards that answer.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45So, yeah, topiary.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Topiary is the right answer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Well done. Eggheads, help us - macrame, what's that?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Knotting threads and cords, isn't it?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Ikebana?- Flower arranging.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Flower arranging.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56So well done.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Because those other two words were confusing.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Eggheads, the Trossachs is a picturesque wooded valley
0:25:04 > 0:25:06in which part of the UK?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13- Scotland? - THEY CONFER
0:25:13 > 0:25:15That's in Scotland.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Scotland is correct.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Your question, David.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Who was the 40th President of the United States of America?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I was about to say let's rule out Barack Obama, but...
0:25:35 > 0:25:38..I think he might have been 44th or 45th.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I think we are around that number at the moment anyway.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44So let's rule Barack out.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49My political knowledge is not great, it's not my strong point.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58The other two, obviously, are quite a bit further back in history.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I'm actually going to go back on what I said and I'm going to guess
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Barack Obama.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Barack Obama. Now, I think you were on the right track with your...
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Was he 45, Barack Obama?
0:26:08 > 0:26:14- Which one was he?- 44.- 44. Because I know George Bush Snr and George
0:26:14 > 0:26:20Bush Jr call other 43 and 41 as a kind of family joke.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24So you go one back from George Bush Snr and you get Ronald Reagan
0:26:24 > 0:26:26and that's the answer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Eggheads, in Greek mythology,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30who was the father of Ariadne?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Minos.- She lived on Crete, didn't she?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- She did.- Did she give the string to...?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- She did give the string to... - Was she Minos's daughter?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I suppose that's the only issue.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45It wasn't Agamemnon.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46..The Minotaur?
0:26:46 > 0:26:47- Theseus?- Yes.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50And Ariadne gave him the string and ended up in the soup.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Certainly Minos was the king that was there.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I think Creon was the king of Athens.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03- Agamemnon is from...Mycenae. - I'm sure it's Minos.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06He's the only one we can put in the right place.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Go with that? We're going to go with Minos.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Minos is right.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15So they are ahead. And it means, David,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17you've got to get this one right to keep the contest alive.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Which of these orders of chivalry was formally established by James
0:27:21 > 0:27:27VII of Scotland, or as he was also known, James II of England, in 1687?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Nothing sticks out at the moment.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39But the Garter,
0:27:39 > 0:27:40I don't know. I think...
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Something about that is coming to my head.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52I think I'm going to have to go for order of the Garter.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Order of the Thistle is the answer we were looking for.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55We have to say, David,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Oh, Stand Up Guys, what can I say?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Because you had third place a while back in a quiz,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09you had second place but it was in the stars.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- I know.- You were going to come first in this one.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13And I don't... I can't explain it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16But then the Eggheads, this is good for the confidence because they've
0:28:16 > 0:28:18had a bit of a bad time, which I mustn't mention.
