0:00:05 > 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
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35And, Lisa, you've got a little teaser for us for people at home
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- to ponder through the show.- Oh, yes!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40So, we know there are 92 teams
0:00:40 > 0:00:43in the top four divisions of the English football league.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Only one of those 92 teams has a name
0:00:45 > 0:00:48in which none of the letters can be coloured in.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52No closed loops. So the question is which team?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55So, we're going to find out the answer to Lisa's brilliant question
0:00:55 > 0:00:58at the end of the show. That is a cracker, Lisa.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Now, taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:01:00 > 0:01:02are Dougie's Pals from Staffordshire.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04This team all work together
0:01:04 > 0:01:06at the Douglas Macmillan hospice in Stoke-on-Trent.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Let's meet them.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Hi. I'm Mike.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13I'm a volunteer fundraiser and ambassador.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Hi. I'm Pauline and I'm the clinical governance manager at the hospice.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hi. I'm David and I'm a chief executive.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25Hi. I'm Fiona and I'm a lottery, sales and marketing manager.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Hi. I'm Kev. I'm the social work team manager.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- So, Mike and team, hello. ALL:- Hello.- Good to see you.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32And I was just struggling,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34thinking is it Dou-gie's Pals or Doug-ie's Pals, Mike,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- which one is it? - Well, it's Doug-ie's.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Doug-ie's. OK, now.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Now, the reason you call it that is because of something called
0:01:40 > 0:01:42the Dougie Mac. Tell us what that is.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Well, the Douglas Macmillan hospice
0:01:43 > 0:01:49is an end-of-life charity in Staffordshire, in Stoke-on-Trent.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52More fondly known locally as the Dougie Mac.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Oh, OK. And you have connections through that, do you?
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Yeah, I'm a volunteer
0:01:56 > 0:02:00and the rest of the team all work for the Dougie Mac.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Very good. Do you quiz together?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- That is the crucial thing. - Not very often,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07but the team did have a bit of a work-out last Friday
0:02:07 > 0:02:09at a charity fundraiser for the hospice.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Good. We're looking forward to seeing you take these Eggs on today.
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 the next show.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23So, Dougie's Pals, the Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25They've been having a bit of an on-off time,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27which means you might be able to catch them out here.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29£2,000 if you do.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Would you like to start? - Yes, please.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Brilliant. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Sport.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38So it is one of you against either Lisa, Steve,
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Barry, Pat, or Chris.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Right, team. I think this is a no-brainer. Do you?
0:02:42 > 0:02:48So, OK. That will be me. The captain leading from the front.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- OK, Mike.- And it'll be the man from Crewe himself, Chris.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Very good.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55So, Mike from Dougie's Pals is playing Chris from the Eggheads.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00please take your positions in our legendary question room.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04All right, good luck against the great Chris,
0:03:04 > 0:03:05known as The Steamroller.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Mike, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:07 > 0:03:08I'll go first, please.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13And here we go.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17In the which of these sports are some of the markings on the court
0:03:17 > 0:03:18known as tramlines?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Well, I don't think there are any lines on a croquet court.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Just a few hoops.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31But I do believe tramlines are associated with tennis.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Tennis is right. Well done.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Chris. In 2017,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Alun Wyn Jones was appointed captain of which rugby union team
0:03:40 > 0:03:42in the Six Nations championship?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Well, a name like Wyn Jones has got to be Wales.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49It is Wales, yeah, although
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- that sort of logic can sometimes take you astray, can't it?- Yup.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55One each. Mike.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58In 1980, the Australian Allan Jones became the became the Formula 1
0:03:58 > 0:04:02world champion, driving for which constructor?
0:04:02 > 0:04:03So, 1980.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I'm pretty sure it's not Brawn GP.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So, it's a choice between Tyrrell and Williams.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15But I'm going to go for Williams.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16And Williams is right.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18He's playing well, challengers, isn't he?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Very sure footed. Chris, your question.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24In 2017, who became the first footballer
0:04:24 > 0:04:27to score 100 Champions League goals?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35That's not domestic, is it? Erm...
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Was it Ronaldo, was it Messi?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40It was Lionel Messi, surely.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42No!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- You know this, Mike. - It is Cristiano Ronaldo.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46It is Ronaldo.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Ronaldo!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It was quite a big moment.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51OK. Mike, over to you. You can win the round with this question.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53In 1938,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Great Britain defeated the United States four games to one
0:04:56 > 0:04:59in the first amateur World Series in which sport?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Right, amateur World Series.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12I don't think there's a world series ice hockey,
0:05:12 > 0:05:18so I'm going to go between baseball and basketball.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21And I'm going to choose baseball.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Chris, would you have gone that way? - Yeah, World Series baseball.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Yeah, I think the words World Series take you in that direction.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29And you're absolutely right.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Three out of three. How about that?
0:05:31 > 0:05:32That's all you have to do.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Three out of three.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Simple as that. Knock them all out, take the money, go back home.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39There we go. Sorry, Chris, you're out.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Come back to us. We'll play round two.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46So, as it stands, Dougie's Pals have not lost a single brain
0:05:46 > 0:05:50from the final round. The Eggheads, oh, dear, down to four.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52The next subject is Arts And Books.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Which of Dougie's Pals wants this?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Now this was one of the toughies, wasn't it?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- So...- Yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00- I think we...- I think you should...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You're going to take one for the team, Kev?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Yeah, yeah, absolutely. - So, we're going to nominate Kev.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11OK. Kev. Now, against whom, and it can't be Chris.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- It's got to be somebody else. - Arts And Books. Well, not Steve.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16How about Lisa?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- OK. Lisa.- She's brilliant at everything, though, isn't she?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Very good.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22So, Kev from Dougie's Pals to take on Lisa on Arts And Books.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29So, you're a record collector, Kev?
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Yeah, yeah, I've got a few.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34It's been a couple of years since I've been collecting, though.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35With me daughter, like,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37as soon as her toys started to fill up the house,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39my toys went away in the loft.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Yeah, I say another,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43because, Lisa, we've had quite a few people who like their vinyl,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- haven't we?- Yeah, that'd be familiar issue
0:06:45 > 0:06:47that Kev's having with my husband.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Every time we've moved houses, he's earmarked a room for his records,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52and I then had a baby, and it disappeared,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54and then I had another baby, and that room disappeared.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Cos they take up a bit of space, that's the thing, don't they, Kev?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Just a bit, yeah.- Yeah. How many have you got?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Just one at the moment, but we've got another one on the way.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03No, hang on, records.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04- Oh, records! - LAUGHTER.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I thought you were on about children.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07I'm not interested in children!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- A couple of thousand. - A couple of thousand?!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Here or there, yeah. - OK. Arts And Books.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Kev, do you want to go first or second against Lisa?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15I'll go first, please.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It's like a bit of dialogue out of Fawlty Towers there for a second.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23OK, here is your question.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Which phrase is a translation of the artistic technique
0:07:26 > 0:07:28known as trompe l'oeil?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's going to be a guess on this one.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I think I'm going to go for...
0:07:39 > 0:07:40..deceives the eye.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43And you've got it bang on, well done. Yeah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Lisa, which writer referred to people knowing
0:07:45 > 0:07:49the price of everything and the value of nothing
0:07:49 > 0:07:51in both an 1890 novel, and an 1892 play?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It's a cynic, isn't it? A man who knows the price of everything
0:07:58 > 0:08:00and the value of nothing.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Erm, I think that's Oscar Wilde.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04It is indeed the great Oscar Wilde.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07One each. Back to you, Kev.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09When was Samuel Johnson's ground-breaking work,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12A Dictionary Of The English Language, first published?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I'm familiar with the name.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23And the work.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24The date, however...
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Going to take a guess...at 1655.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Lisa?- I think, and I can only ever do this from Blackadder III,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39it might be 1755.
0:08:39 > 0:08:411755 is the answer, Kev.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Oh, sorry.- So, Lisa has a chance to take a lead in this round.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Which name was given to Victorian artists
0:08:47 > 0:08:51such as Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, and Lord Frederick Leighton,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53for their love of classical subjects
0:08:53 > 0:08:55and for their great success at the time?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Classical subjects and their success at the time...?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Can you just read the question for me one more time,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- please, Jeremy?- Which name was given to Victorian artists,
0:09:08 > 0:09:13such as Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Lord Frederick Leighton
0:09:13 > 0:09:14for their love of classical subjects
0:09:14 > 0:09:16and for their great success at the time?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21I suppose on the success at the time element of the question...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25..the relevant answer would be Olympians.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I feel like I've heard them all in that sort of context,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29which is slightly irritating.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31But I'll try Olympians.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Olympians is right.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35They've gone spectacularly out of fashion, those guys,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37haven't they? But they certainly were celebrated.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Kev.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43In which field did the London-born Edward Burra
0:09:43 > 0:09:47have a successful career in the 20th century?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49You must get this one right to stay in.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Edward Burra. And that's B-U-R-R-A.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57It's not ringing any bells at all, this one.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Edward Burra.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Again, guesswork here.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01I'm going to go with...
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Going to go with sculpting.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I can see why you've done that, because you think, well,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10if he's a sculptor, it's more likely I wouldn't have heard of him.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Not a playwright. Not a sculptor either,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14actually, it's a painter.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16So, the answer was painting and, Lisa,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18you've taken the round, Arts And Books.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Bad luck, Kev. Beaten by our Eggheads and as a result,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23not in the final. Return to us, both of you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24We're going to play round three.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Anyone know about Edward Burra here?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Yeah.- Pat!- I've seen his pictures.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32They're strange, stylised things,
0:10:32 > 0:10:37like semi-human figures with big bendy noses, and birdlike figures.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Suggestion of Cubism about it, a suggestion of modernist stuff.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Yeah. Died in 1976.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Did urban scenes,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48and painted quite a lot of scenes from Harlem in the 1960s.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- Oh.- Really?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52As it stands, Dougie's Pals have lost one brain from the final round.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54The Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55It's quite well matched.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Just keep the pressure up here,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58cos they're still reeling from the last game.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00The next subject for you is History.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03So, who would like this?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Right, so, History.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Right.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08That's going to be Fiona or Pauline.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11And then if Science comes up next...
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Well, no, it might not come up, so...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It might not come up at all, no.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Shall I go for it?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18And who do you think...
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- OK, Pauline.- Pauline.- Our clinical governance manager against...?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Let's see. We've had Lisa, and we've had Chris.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25So the three gents in the middle.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26The three gents.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I know it's not appetizing.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30How about Steve, what do you think?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Well, he's a very nice man, so I'll go with Steve.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34He is a nice man.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Don't put that rumour about! - LAUGHTER
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Just be... Just be kind to me.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Oh, they never are!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42They smile, but they never are.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Pauline from Dougie's Pals to play Steve from the Eggheads,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47who's going to try and be kind.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Well, I'm just upset they looked at me and thought, "You're history."
0:11:49 > 0:11:51LAUGHTER
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Please take your positions in our question room.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57You were looking into your ancestry, Pauline,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59and you discovered you were a descendent of whom?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Aelfhere Wolfgate,
0:12:01 > 0:12:07who was the Earl of Mercia and chief adviser to King Aethelred.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Now, whether that's a good thing or not, I don't know.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12So, that was Aethelred The Unready?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Yes.- Was he unready cos of your relative?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16It might have been.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18LAUGHTER
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Anyway, as a clinical governance manager, you're always ready.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24So you've set a new trend, there.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26OK, History, Pauline, would you like to go first or second?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27I'll go first, please.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34And here we go. Which of these historical rulers
0:12:34 > 0:12:39was crowned by the Pope on Christmas Day in the year 800?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I don't think it was Ivan The Terrible.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It could've been either Charlemagne or Alexander The Great,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54so it's going to be a guess.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I'm going to go with...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00..Alexander The Great.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Now let's just see if Steve knows this. Steve, is she right?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- It's Charlemagne.- Charlemagne is the answer there, Pauline.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Over to Steve we go. Which monarch knighted Winston Churchill?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I don't do well with Winston Churchill questions.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Obviously, it can't be Victoria.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Edward VIII weren't there long enough.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26It's got to be Elizabeth II, he says confidently.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Yeah, and it is Elizabeth II,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32so I'm just thinking here, she took the throne in '52,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34he could have been knighted before then,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37but then it wouldn't have been Edward VIII, would it?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- It would've been somebody else. - Yeah.- Elizabeth II is right.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Pauline, your question.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43In which industry did Viscount Nuffield
0:13:43 > 0:13:46make a huge personal fortune in the 20th century?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I haven't the foggiest idea.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56So it's going to be a total guess.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Nuffield...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I don't think it was shipbuilding
0:14:02 > 0:14:04and I don't think it was carmaking,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07so I'm going to go with coal mining,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10because there was an awful lot of money made in that century.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Let's see if your team-mates know. What do we think?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I think it is carmaking.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Did he have something to do with Austin Rover or something?
0:14:17 > 0:14:18Was it, Eggheads?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Yes, indeed.- Austin Rover Morris.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Cars, Pauline. SHE GROANS
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Sorry, carmaking.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It's just bad luck. Unlucky.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Steve. In the 18th century,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31where was the series of Carnatic wars fought
0:14:31 > 0:14:34between British, French, and local forces?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- That's India, Jeremy.- You didn't even have to think about it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Some I know.- Some you know.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45IN STEVE'S NORTHERN ACCENT: Some you don't know. This is one you know.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- LAUGHTER - Do I sound like that?!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49No, not at all. India is right.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You've taken the round.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Sorry, Pauline, and I know it's not your strongest subject there.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55You were in on an off subject,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58beaten by our Eggheads and won't be in the final.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Come back to us. One more round to play before the final.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05So, advantage Eggheads, but will it last?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Dougie's Pals have lost two brains from the final.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10The Eggheads have still just lost the one.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14One more round to play before the final, and it is Music.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16So...
0:15:16 > 0:15:18WHISPERING
0:15:18 > 0:15:19What do you want to do?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21David, we know it's your strength, but...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- do we save you for the final? - You do it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24- And Fiona?- I'll do it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27We're going to go with Fiona.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28OK, good.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- And shall we say...- Barry?
0:15:31 > 0:15:32It's Barry or Pat.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Yeah.- Go on, Barry.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36With that shirt.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38LAUGHTER
0:15:38 > 0:15:42So, Fiona from Dougie's Pals takes on Barry from the Eggheads.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44And let's see how you both do on Music.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Please go to the question room.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50So does music suit you here, Fiona?
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I'm going to give it a good go. Yes, I like a bit of pop music.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Anything post 1980s, I should be OK.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Well, that's the opposite of you, Barry.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58You're pre-1980.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Yes, mostly.- Going back to the... Middle Ages, really.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03LAUGHTER
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Oh, you're so kind, Jeremy!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07No, but I think you do your bit of your classical and opera and stuff?
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Yes, and musicals.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Yeah. How are you on musicals, Fiona?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Yeah, I do like the musicals.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I go to a few.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15I went to see Mamma Mia recently,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17and I'm going to see Les Mis, so, yeah!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Well, good luck, and it's Music,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and let's see if we can get you into the final, and level things up.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Oh, I'll go first, please.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30All right. Here we go.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33On an instrument such as a guitar or violin,
0:16:33 > 0:16:37what term is used for the part that supports the strings,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and transmits vibrations to the body of the instrument?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I actually know the answer to this.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I used to play the violin, and the answer is bridge.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Bridge is quite right. Well done. - Well done.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54The guitar as well. OK, Barry.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58The Kinks were formed in which British city in the early 1960s?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Oh, my goodness, me. I should know this instantly.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07The years I spent listening to The Kinks' music, which I really like,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10and I can't remember where they were from!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Well, on the basis that I remember Waterloo Sunset,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I shall go for London.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Yeah, I think that that logic is right.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20It is London. I just had a momentary panic thinking it was Birmingham
0:17:20 > 0:17:22for some reason, but London's right.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26The Davies brothers. Fiona.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Which 2001 hit song starts with the words "Her name is Noelle,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32"I have a dream about her"?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I know the answer to this one as well. This was just my era.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44And it's Teenage Dirt Bag.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45You are right!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- I won't sing it for you, though. - LAUGHTER
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Who was Teenage Dirt Bag by? I can't remember.- I've forgotten.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Barry, do you know? - Don't be silly.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54LAUGHTER Lisa?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Wheatus.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Wheatus!- That was it, yes. Yes.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58There we go.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Right, back to the world.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Belinda Carlisle was the original lead singer
0:18:02 > 0:18:03of which of these groups?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Well, I'm almost ashamed to admit that I know this,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13but I remember Belinda Carlisle very much in The Go-Go's.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15The Go-Go's is right.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17We've got you both on good territory, haven't we?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19OK, Fiona, here's your question.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Which future solo star's first band was called Bluesology?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Can you repeat the question for me, Jeremy, please?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Which future solo star's first band was called Bluesology?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Bluesology.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I don't think it's Ricky Martin.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42That wasn't really his genre of music.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I don't know. Bruce Springsteen or Elton John.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I'm just singing the Elton John song about the blues, but...
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Oh, I think it might be Bruce Springsteen.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Now, let's just think, because Elton John was in a few things,
0:18:58 > 0:18:59what else was he in?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Did he have a little bit of time with either Long John Baldry or...?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Long John Baldry, that's who it was. Yeah.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Played sort of backing music on a lot of these K-Tel songs as well.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Yes, exactly. What is the answer here?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11- It is Elton John.- Elton John, Fiona.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Oh...
0:19:12 > 0:19:14OK, you can take the round with this, Barry.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19The opera, I Masnadieri, that had its premiere
0:19:19 > 0:19:23at Her Majesty's Theatre, London, in 1847, was written by whom?
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- 1847.- 1847, well that's too early for Puccini, so I'll discount him.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38But it could be Meyerbeer or Verdi.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I don't know. Verdi wrote about 20, 24 operas,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44of which I only know the names of about a dozen of them.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45So it could well be him.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48And on the basis that Verdi was I think more prolific than Meyerbeer,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'll go for Verdi.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51LAUGHTER
0:19:51 > 0:19:53That's quite a good way of working it out.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Giuseppe Verdi is the right answer, Barry. Well done.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Just a kind of stumbling elimination there. He got to it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Sorry, Fiona. He's got three out of three.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02He likes his music. And you've been knocked out.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Come back to us, both of you.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06We'll play the final round, for £2,000.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11It is time for the final round.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13As always, it's general knowledge.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:20:15 > 0:20:19are not allowed to take part in this round, so that's Pauline,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Fiona, and Kev from Dougie's Pals.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23And also Chris from the Eggheads.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Mike and David, you're playing to win Dougie's Pals £2,000.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Lisa, Steve, Barry, Pat,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36which is to restore the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40They're all general knowledge.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42You can confer, gentleman.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46So, the question is, can your two brains defeat these four?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49And, Mike and David, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:49 > 0:20:50We'll go first, Jeremy.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Good luck to you both. You can do this.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59What is the name of the character played by Grace Jones
0:20:59 > 0:21:02in the 1985 James Bond film A View To A Kill?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- May Day.- It ain't Pussy Galore, that's right.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Yeah.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Well, they're all characters from James Bond films, Jeremy, but...
0:21:15 > 0:21:17..it's definitely May Day.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18May Day is right.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Well done.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21All right, Eggheads, your question.
0:21:21 > 0:21:27The modern acronym MAMIL refers to a middle aged man in what?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28It's M-A-M-I-L.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- LAUGHTER - Lycra!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Can we just say Lycra and get this over with,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36because I've got disturbing images in my brain.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39We think that's Lycra.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42A Middle Aged Man In Lycra is quite right.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Not me. I don't wear it!
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Any of you guys? Loads of those around Stoke on Trent,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51we just had our Dougie Mac bike ride with over a thousand in Lycra.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Oh, really? OK.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Not good. Not pretty.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54LAUGHTER
0:21:55 > 0:21:57OK, back to you, challengers.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Which of these terms was used for a merchant who sold supplies
0:22:01 > 0:22:02to soldiers?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Well, I don't think it's Ostler.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- I think that's got something to do with horses.- Yeah.
0:22:10 > 0:22:17So, is there a something in the Army about somebody who supplies...
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Suppleton or something?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23I don't know. If I was going to go for either one,
0:22:23 > 0:22:24I think I would go for a Sutler.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- I don't know.- It's a hunch. - It's a hunch, yeah.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29We are in hunch territory, Jeremy, to be honest.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32But we're going to go for Sutler.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Well done, you've got it right.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I like the way you quiz.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Two out of two.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Over to you, Eggheads.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Slip up, could be fatal.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43In fashion, the American Bruce Weber is chiefly known for
0:22:43 > 0:22:44his work in which role?
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Photographer?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- I don't know.- Don't know.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Let me think. Bruce Weber.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56I think it's photographer.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58If you think it's photographer...
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Have you got any thoughts at all, Lisa?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03No, I haven't. And it's annoying me. But totally prepared to go with...
0:23:03 > 0:23:04I mean, we could go wrong here,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06it could turn out he was a journalist.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07I can't help you at all here,
0:23:07 > 0:23:08I really can't.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- I can't think of him as a hairdresser, if that helps.- OK.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- OK. I think he rang a bell. - Yeah, you go for it.- Go with it.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- We hope he's a photographer.- OK.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20You had a little bit of knowledge here at this end of the desk.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22And drew a few blanks at the other end.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24But photographer is right.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- ALL:- Well done, Pat. - Well done, Pat.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29It's a shame you didn't knock Pat out,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31because that would have caused all kinds of confusion.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Now, get the third one right, and maybe you're on target for £2,000.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37According to the official registration code
0:23:37 > 0:23:40found on European fishing boats,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43the letters FE refer to which port?
0:23:43 > 0:23:44FE.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Well...
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I don't associate Folkestone... With fishing boats, did you say, Jeremy?
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Let me read it again.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57According to the official registration code
0:23:57 > 0:24:02found on European fishing boats, the letters FE refer to which port?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I don't associate Folkestone with fishing.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06So I think we can discount that.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Is it too simplistic to say there's an E at the start of Fleetwood?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14And therefore it might be Fleetwood.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15And it's a fishing port, isn't it?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18You're right. Fleetwood is definitely...
0:24:18 > 0:24:20not as big as it used to be.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21And Fraserburgh...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23You're the Scotsman.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- Fraserburgh is in Scotland? - It's definitely Scotland, Mike.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29It's not in the middle of Scotland, is it, hey?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Shall we go with your hunch?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34- Fleetwood, then?- Yeah.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38We've edged towards Fleetwood, Jeremy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Fleetwood is your answer. They've both an E somewhere, I suppose.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44All of them have got an E somewhere.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Do you know this?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Well, the largest fishing fleet there would be Fraserburgh,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51so I've just got a sneaky feeling it might be that.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52The answer is you were...
0:24:52 > 0:24:54wrong to rule out Folkestone.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56It is Folkestone.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57FE.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Fleetwood is FD.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Fraserburgh is FR.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02So it gives the Eggheads a chance on their third question
0:25:02 > 0:25:04to take the contest, and here we go.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
0:25:09 > 0:25:12was given its royal status by which monarch?
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Was it Victoria?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- I don't know. - It was set up in her era.- Was it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Sure it were.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24It's older,
0:25:24 > 0:25:29much older than any children's ones, so...
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- yes, I think I would go for that. - I don't know it.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35But have you known it being called anything other
0:25:35 > 0:25:36than the RSPCA?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37No, never.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40And it is an old, it is a very old society.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Certainly can't be as young as George VI and Elizabeth,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I wouldn't have thought so.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Pat?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I don't know either, a vague preference for Victoria,
0:25:52 > 0:25:53but no evidence though.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I'm uncomfortable with the answer,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58but not uncomfortable enough to go against all three of you.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Well, what do you think?
0:25:59 > 0:26:00LAUGHTER
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- I don't know.- I'm not sure.- I'm just getting some sort of chiming
0:26:04 > 0:26:06with the Royal Society in 1936 in my head,
0:26:06 > 0:26:07and I don't know why.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10It's bothering me.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Well, it wouldn't be George VI even if it was 1936.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Yeah, might just be, but it would be pretty tight, wouldn't it?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Yeah, it would, very tight.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I don't even know why I'm getting it, so...
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I'm not going to go against three of you. No.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24I mean, I've no idea why I'm chiming,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27it might be that I've got it mixed up with the NSPCC or something.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29No, that is quite modern, the NSPCC.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31So, let's just not be hanging up on anything.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Well, we've got another if we're wrong, don't we?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36As I say, it's only vague, but I don't really know why,
0:26:36 > 0:26:37so I'm happy...
0:26:37 > 0:26:40We're going to bet on it being pretty old.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- I'm very happy to go with what you're saying on this.- OK.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44We don't know when it was founded,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46but we think it's quite an old charity,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49so we're going to go for Victoria.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51If you've got it right, the contest is over.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Ruled out Elizabeth, thought maybe George VI,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57in the end, for you, it did go to Victoria...
0:26:57 > 0:27:00in a fairly certain way, and you're right to say Victoria.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03That is the answer. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04You have won! APPLAUSE
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Founded in 1824, royal status 1840.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14It's just a random...
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I just didn't feel very comfortable with that and I didn't know why,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19but you don't go against those three.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Well, you were just... feeling your way there.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25But, anyway, you got there, as you so often do, Eggheads, well done,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27and commiserations, challengers.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Been great to hear about the Dougie Mac. Thank you very much.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them, most of the time.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36And here you are, reigning again over Quizland.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39It does mean that the challengers don't go home with the £2,000
0:27:39 > 0:27:41so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Eggheads, congratulations.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Who will beat you?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Before we go, Lisa, the question, that amazing question!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50OK, so yes, of the 92 teams in the English Football League,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52there's only one where you can't colour in any of the letters
0:27:52 > 0:27:55when it's written down, so for everyone who's been
0:27:55 > 0:27:57frantically writing down teams and colouring in the letters,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00you can put your pencils down. The answer's Hull City.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Hull City! You're right, there are no closed loops.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Got it. Baffled me.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05- Did you get that?- We did.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- You did!- We did!
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers
0:28:09 > 0:28:11have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12£3,000 says they don't.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Until then, goodbye.
