0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is - can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today are
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Tibial Pursuit from West Yorkshire.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, this team all work together in the X-ray department
0:00:39 > 0:00:43of Leeds General Infirmary and St James's Hospital
0:00:43 > 0:00:47and regularly quiz together at the Hop pub. Let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Conor and I'm a senior radiographer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Kane and I'm a diagnostic radiographer.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Katie and I'm also a diagnostic radiographer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Jordan and I'm a reporting radiographer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Mark and I'm a diagnostic radiographer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- So, Conor and team, hello. ALL:- Hi.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Great to see you. So you're all basically
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- doing the same kind of thing, Conor? - Yeah, pretty much.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13We have slight variations
0:01:13 > 0:01:17but predominantly we're doing much of the same.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Radiography.- Yeah, so radiography.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21So all kinds of medical imaging.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25So it ranges from mainly X-rays, which is what all of us guys do,
0:01:25 > 0:01:31but the profession itself includes CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- all sorts of stuff. - I love the Tibial Pursuit.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Just remind me, tibial is in the foot, right?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- No, so your tibia is your shinbone, so the main bone...- Thereabouts.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- Yeah.- Between the knee and the foot. - Somewhere below the knee. Yeah.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45OK. Challengers, good luck.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:47 > 0:01:49for our challenging team.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, we just take the prize money
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and we roll it over. So, Tibial Pursuit,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56the Eggheads had a bit of a bad run
0:01:56 > 0:01:59and they've got themselves back in gear and they've won the last two,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02so there is £3,000 to play for today.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Would you like to give it a go? - Yeah, we'll do our best.- Brilliant.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10So it's one of you
0:02:10 > 0:02:13choosing between Lisa, Steve, Barry, Kevin and Chris.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Who wants to do it? - So that'll be Mark?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- OK?- I'll take it.- OK, Mark.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Yeah.- And who would you like to take on, Mark?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Who do you reckon? Steve maybe?
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Steve.- It might be an opportunity to get Kevin out.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Yeah?- OK.- Let's go for it.- Yeah.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- What's the plan?- The plan is Mark's going to take on Kevin.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36All right. So, Mark from Tibial Pursuit taking on Kevin,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38the Grand Master, from the Eggheads, on Film & TV.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40And just to ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Well, Mark, this might be a good choice, actually, because Kevin...
0:02:48 > 0:02:49I was just looking at the stats
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- and you've lost the last two Film & TV rounds.- I have.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53So there we are, Mark.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55His motherboard is sparking a little bit.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57We'll see how you do here.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Good luck. Do you want to go first or second?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Here we go, Mark. Good luck. The Oscar-winning 1980 film Raging Bull
0:03:07 > 0:03:10is set in the world of which sport?
0:03:14 > 0:03:15I've not seen that film myself...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20..but with the name Raging Bull I don't think it's baseball.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Badminton, I can rule that one out.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24I have to go boxing.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Exactly. It is boxing.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Robert De Niro.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30OK, your question, Kevin.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35The 1957 film Bridge On The River Kwai, is set in which war?
0:03:38 > 0:03:44Well, it's set around the building of the Siam Railway in World War II,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46or Burma Railway, if you prefer.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49World War II is quite right. Yes, indeed.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54OK, Mark, in which year was the TV comedy, The Office first broadcast?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Oooh!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I'm a big fan of The Office. I really do like Ricky Gervais.
0:04:01 > 0:04:032001, I'll have to go with.
0:04:03 > 0:04:042001 is quite right.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Yeah. But you were... Let's just think, how old were you, then?
0:04:08 > 0:04:112001, I would have been five years old.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Your parents let you watch it, did they?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Yeah. Sat me down to watch it.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20OK, Kevin.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin
0:04:22 > 0:04:25famously performed which role on US TV?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Johnny Carson was one of the longest running,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and probably THE most famous, still,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36although he was in the relatively early days...
0:04:37 > 0:04:39..on TV of being a talk show host.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41So talk show host.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Talk show host is right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45So 2-2.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Keep up the pressure here, Mark.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51The 2016 film Passengers starring Chris Pratt
0:04:51 > 0:04:53is set on which mode transport?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I've not seen this film but I have seen trailers for it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It's not an aeroplane, it's not a train,
0:05:02 > 0:05:03it is a spaceship it's set in.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Yes, I saw it and I can confirm
0:05:04 > 0:05:06there was definitely a spaceship in it.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08You're quite right.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10OK, 3-2.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Kevin, you need this one to stay in.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18Who plays Jane Tennison in the TV series Prime Suspect 1973?
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Well, this is the sort of origin story of the police career
0:05:29 > 0:05:31of the character later played by Helen Mirren
0:05:31 > 0:05:33in the other Prime Suspect,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35but I think in this one it's Stefanie Martini.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38It is Stefanie Martini. Well done. So three out of three for you both.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40We go to Sudden Death.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44And, Mark, it gets a bit trickier here cos I don't give you options.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45- OK?- OK.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51As of 2017, Bradley Cooper has starred in how many Hangover films?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54There's three Hangover films, I think.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Yeah, three.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Three's my answer. - Three's right.- Yeah.- Well done.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Kevin,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03who plays US President James Marshall
0:06:03 > 0:06:06in the 1997 action film Air Force One?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I have seen that but I saw it when it came out
0:06:09 > 0:06:13and there were a number of... Which is obviously a long time ago.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16And there were a number of similar types of films around that time.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19I could be mixing them up, you see.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- On the edge.- Yeah, I'm afraid so.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I'm afraid so.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I'll have to say Harrison Ford.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Well, you haven't lost three in a row for six years.- Mm.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38But the answer is Harrison Ford. Well done. You're still in it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41You nearly knocked out a world quiz champion there.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Six time world quiz champion, Mark.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Keep pressing, keep pressing.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Viola Davis won a best supporting actress Oscar in 2017
0:06:49 > 0:06:54for her performance in which Denzel Washington directed film?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Not too sure on this one, Jeremy.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03I can't think of any Denzel Washington directed films...
0:07:05 > 0:07:07..at all of the top of my head.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I'll just have to take a guess at a film.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Split - but I know that's not correct.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Split, no. Fences.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Fences.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16OK, Kevin. For the round,
0:07:16 > 0:07:22who won the Best Actress Oscar in 1947 and 1950 for her performances
0:07:22 > 0:07:25in To Each His Own and The Heiress?
0:07:26 > 0:07:32Er, and she's now over 100 years old and got a damehood
0:07:32 > 0:07:35in the Queen's Birthday Honours list in 2017.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Olivia de Havilland.- Yeah, I thought you'd get that right.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Olivia de Havilland it is.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41So you have won through on Film & TV
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and avoided the hat-trick of losses, Kevin.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Well done. You're in the final.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Mark, sorry, you've been knocked out, beaten by our Egghead.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Return to with us, please, we'll play round two.- Thank you very much.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55So as it stands, Tibial Pursuit have lost one brain from the final round,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57the Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59And the next subject is Science.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Science! Is that not good?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Yeah.- Who's going to do this?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Are we thinking Jordan? You seemed confident.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07I'll have to take it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Jordan? OK.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Our radiographer against anyone but Kevin.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13I'll take on Lisa.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Take on Lisa. OK. So Jordan from Tibial Pursuit
0:08:17 > 0:08:20to pursue Lisa from the Eggheads on Science.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Please go to our Question Room.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25So Science we're on, Jordan.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Do you want to go first or second?
0:08:27 > 0:08:28I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Good luck. Here we go. Which of these trees is native to Africa?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40I've heard of all three.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45I think giant redwood is North American.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49So for me it's between baobab and the eucalyptus.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50I'm going to go with...
0:08:51 > 0:08:52I think it's baobab.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54I think you're absolutely right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Well done.- Thank you.- I think eucalyptus is Australia.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Yeah. OK, Lisa, which of these animals is a type of cat?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08I forget what an oryx is.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11That's annoying. But the cat you're looking for is the ocelot.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Ocelot is right.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Well done. I can't remember...
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Anyone seen an oryx lately?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's another antelope.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18It's got a spiral horn.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Okapi, it's the same family as a giraffe.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It's an unusual kind of animal.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27OK, back to you, Jordan.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30In the human body, what's known as the white of the eye?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I've not heard the first one before.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41The retina is at the back, which I think captures the light.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'm going to go with sclera.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45It is sclera. Well done.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Lisa, approximately what percentage
0:09:48 > 0:09:51of the Earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It ain't 40 cos a lot of us wouldn't be breathing.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Is it as high as 4%?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06I hate this. This just feels elementary and horrible.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08And I should be getting it straightaway
0:10:08 > 0:10:11and it is a horrible shame on my character that I'm not.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14I don't know.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- 4%.- OK.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Barry has got his head in his hands.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Barry, explain.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It's 0.04%
0:10:23 > 0:10:2699% of the Earth's atmosphere is made up of just two gases,
0:10:26 > 0:10:27nitrogen and oxygen.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30And just over 1% is made up of everything else,
0:10:30 > 0:10:31of which argon is the most.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34But it's a very, very small amount of carbon dioxide.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38But if it was 4% we'd be roasting, absolutely roasting,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39because of the greenhouse effect.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42The answer is 0.04%, Lisa.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- So this is good, Jordan.- Fantastic.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Press the advantage.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Get this right, you're in the final round.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Here's question. In astronomy, what are the Geminids?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It's not a term I am familiar with
0:11:00 > 0:11:03so I'm going to take a punt at Jupiter's rings.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06No, meteor shower.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Anyone help us with Geminids?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Well, all the ones that end in ids are meteor showers.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15There's the Leonids, the Perseids, Geminids, the Orionids,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18and the name comes from which constellation
0:11:18 > 0:11:20they appear from in the sky,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22so these ones come from Gemini, obviously.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Well, there's a way back in for you here, Lisa.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Your question. In 1995,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Michael Foale became the first person born in the UK to do what?
0:11:39 > 0:11:401995.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43See, I knew he was an astronaut, that's as far as I'd got.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46First person from the UK.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I really wish Jordan had got that last question
0:11:49 > 0:11:52because I'm just in a sea of embarrassment and horribleness now.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57OK, 1995. I mean, that's a decent bet for sending an email
0:11:57 > 0:12:01because that was kind of when they started.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Erm, I feel like it's not spacewalk.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I don't know why I feel that.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Normally I'd go with what my first instinct tells me,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16but I don't have a first instinct.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19No, Jordan deserves this one anyway. Send an email from the ISS.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- No, walk in space. - Fair enough.- You're out, Lisa.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- That's all right.- Jordan, well done. - Thank you very much.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26So we have got the scientist in on Science,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28which is I'm sure a relief to our Challengers here.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30You're in the final. Lisa is not.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Come back to us. We've got the third round to play.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37As it stands, Tibial Pursuit have lost one brain from the final round.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Well done cos you've actually taken a brain out from this side as well,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43from the Eggheads. And the next subject is Sport.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46So who would like this?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47- It's definitely you.- Yeah.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I think we're all in agreement that that's going to me.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51OK, Conor, the team captain.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Another radiographer. Let's see.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56It's going to be Steve or Barry or Chris.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59They're all good quizzers, but I think I'll take on Chris.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00That's going to go down well.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Twice on the trot.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I smell conspiracy.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'll have nothing to do with conspiracy, I'll root it out.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Yep, he's pleased. So Conor from Tibial Pursuit
0:13:11 > 0:13:15versus Chris from the Eggheads on the beloved Sport.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18To ensure there is no conferring, please go to our Question Room.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23So, Conor, you're known as the face of Leeds radiology.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Er, yeah, You could say that, Jeremy.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Because when they do a photoshoot saying,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30"This is our new piece of equipment,"
0:13:30 > 0:13:31they stand you next to it?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Yeah, for some reason I seem to get called out of the department
0:13:34 > 0:13:36every now and then for a photoshoot.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38You'll have to ask my bosses
0:13:38 > 0:13:41if you want the answer to why it's always me that gets picked.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- I'm not really sure. - Same for you, Chris, isn't it?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46When we wheel out, you know, face of the Eggheads.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Funnily enough, if we're talking medical machinery,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52I was actually inside an MRI scanner when it was still just a test rig
0:13:52 > 0:13:55at Siemens when we made the Horizon documentary,
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- The Search For Mastermind's Brain. - And what did they find in there?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Nothing. Well, not nothing, but nothing out of the ordinary.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04No. OK, so we're on Sport. Let's see if there is any part
0:14:04 > 0:14:07of Chris's brain that's dedicated to that, Conor.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15And here we go with your questions.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Of these three athletes,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20who was the first to win a World Championship gold medal?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29OK, athletics isn't really my strong point.
0:14:31 > 0:14:38I know that Steve Cram and most of his success in the early 1980s.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Colin Jackson was more in the '90s.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Linford Christie, I'm going to guess he was more the late 1980s.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50So, answer is Steve Cram.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Yeah, brilliant. Steve Cram it is.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Well done.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Chris, which of these footballers is the tallest?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Well, Jermain Defoe is no real size, is he?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07But the great tall gangling one there is Peter Crouch.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Yes indeed. Peter Crouch is right.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14So we go back to you, Conor. The rugby union player Billy Vunipola
0:15:14 > 0:15:17usually plays in which position?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Well, there's two Vunipolas, I think.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Billy. There's Billy and there's Maco.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30I think Maco is a prop.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35And I think Billy... I think he's a number eight.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Number eight is correct.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43And that's a tough old question so you've done well there.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45OK, Chris, you're under pressure here, aren't you?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51How much money was the winner of the ladies singles competition
0:15:51 > 0:15:53awarded at Wimbledon in 2016?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Oh, there was a lot of controversy about it, wasn't there?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I think it was a million. One million.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07You are wrong.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It's two million.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11So, Conor, you're 2-1 ahead.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Get this right and you'll be in the final round.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- All right.- Here we go.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Although he was able to occasionally switch stances, which of these
0:16:18 > 0:16:22boxers is predominantly regarded as having had a southpaw stance?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm really stumped here.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Boxing is one thing I've not really got much of an interest in.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39So, in that case, I'm going to have to go was the only boxer
0:16:39 > 0:16:43I've actually heard of, so I'll go with Sugar Ray Leonard.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45They're all boxers.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48It's not him. You are close because one of the most famous fights
0:16:48 > 0:16:50of all time was Hagler-Leonard.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52And the answer is Marvin Hagler.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- All right. - Chris, you have a chance here.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58The spin bowler Imran Tahir
0:16:58 > 0:17:00represents which international cricket team?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Well, for historical reasons,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11going back to the days of indentured labour in Africa,
0:17:11 > 0:17:12I'll say South Africa.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I don't know if that's the logic, but it is the right answer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17South Africa is correct.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Well done, Chris.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20So you pulled it back there.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22And it's level after three.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25And, Conor, now we test you a bit more cos we go to Sudden Death.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Yeah.- I don't give you alternatives. Here we go.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31The Spanish defender Carles Puyol
0:17:31 > 0:17:34spent his whole professional career with which football club?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Erm, that would be in Barcelona.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Barcelona's quite right.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Chris, to stay in, which rugby union team defeated
0:17:43 > 0:17:49England in March 2017, ending their 18 match unbeaten record?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Well, I want to say Scotland, but I'm thinking to myself...
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Yeah, Scotland.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Ireland, Chris.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- Ireland. - Conor, you're in the final.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Well done. This is good for our Challengers.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07You took on an Egghead, you knocked him out on Sport.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Please return. We'll play one more round before the final.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14So Tibial Pursuit have lost one from the final round,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17the Eggheads have lost two brains now.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Oh, dear, Eggs.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Can we get back on our feet?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Let's see. The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Who would like that?
0:18:25 > 0:18:26I heard somebody sigh.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Nobody is a very good at Arts & Books, really.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- No.- I think we need to keep Kane for the final.- Yeah. It's OK.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Yeah, I'm going to take Arts & Books.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38OK, Katie, against which Egghead?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Now, you can have, Katie, either Steve or Barry.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I think I'll take Steve on, if that's OK.- All right.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46So Katie from Tibial Pursuit versus Steve from the Eggheads.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Art & Books, last round before the final.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Let's see what Katie can do here. Please go to the Question Room.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Art & Books, Katie. Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'd like to go first, please.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03So, good luck. Let's see if we can get you into the final.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Here we go. In which part of the book, Katie,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07would you usually find a prologue?
0:19:10 > 0:19:15Erm, I don't think it would go in the middle and I don't think
0:19:15 > 0:19:17it would be at the end. I'm pretty sure it goes at the beginning.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- I'm going to go for that.- Brilliant.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Beginning is right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Steve, who is the central character
0:19:23 > 0:19:25in the Robert Louis Stevenson novel Kidnapped.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31That's David Balfour, Jeremy.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32It is David Balfour.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34OK, Katie.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37What nationality was the painter Georgia O'Keeffe?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Ooh, I'm not sure on that one at all.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49No clues at all either with the answers there.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52So I'm going to take a bit of a guess
0:19:52 > 0:19:54and I'll say that she's British.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Now, I'm trying to work out how we get to this.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Any Challengers know this?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- I think it's American. - Yeah, American.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- Eggheads, American?- Yes. - Painter, still with us or not?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07No, she was very long-lived but she died in the '80s.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10OK. American is the answer, Katie, sorry.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So, Steve on to you to take the lead.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Which of these writers died aged 94 in 1950?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23That's George Bernard Shaw, Jeremy.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24It is George Bernard Shaw.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Well done.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Seamus Heaney was quite recent, actually.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Yeah, very recent. - Certainly in this century, yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33So he's pulled ahead, Katie,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36and you must get this one right to stay in.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40The villainous King Antiochus is a character in which Shakespeare play?
0:20:46 > 0:20:51Oh, gosh, again, Shakespeare not one of my top subjects.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I think the only one I've heard all is The Winter's Tale.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Given that this name is a I'm going to guess
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Pericles, Prince of Tyre, but I'm not sure at all.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Let's just see with the Eggheads. Are these all Shakespeare plays?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Yeah.- OK, so, then, they're not the best-known ones.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- No, they're not.- To say the least.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11But you've got it absolutely right, Katie.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's Pericles, Prince of Tyre.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Well done. Steve, your question.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16You can take the round.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Who wrote the political novels House Of Cards,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22To Play The King and The Final Cut?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I've not read 'em but I do believe it's Michael Dobbs.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30If you've got this right,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33you've taken the round with three correct answers.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35It is Michael Dobbs, Steve. Well done. Sorry, Katie.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Steve is in the final. Level as we go into the final.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40How exciting. Return to us and we'll play it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43So this is what we've been playing towards.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46It's the final round. And, as always, it's General Knowledge.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:48 > 0:21:50won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53So that's Katie and Mark from Tibial Pursuit
0:21:53 > 0:21:55and Lisa and Chris from the Eggheads,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57would you please now leave the studio?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Conor, Kane and Jordan,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02you're playing to win Tibial Pursuit £3,000.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Steve, Barry, Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12They're all General Knowledge,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14gents, and you can confer.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16So, Tibial Pursuit, the question is,
0:22:16 > 0:22:20can your three brains crack the Eggheads here?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Give it our best shot.- Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24I think... Shall we go first?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29OK, Kane and team, good luck.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33You can do this. The starting point for swimming the English Channel is
0:22:33 > 0:22:35usually in which English county?
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Surely you'd imagine it's Kent.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Yeah.- That's going to be the shortest distance.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45The boat goes from Dover, and Dover's in Kent,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- and the Channel Tunnel.- Yeah. - You'd imagine Kent.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51OK. We'll go for Kent for that one.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Kent is right.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Eggheads, what name is given to the plastic card system
0:22:56 > 0:22:59for public transport in London that was introduced in 2003?
0:23:05 > 0:23:06- Oyster card, everybody?- Hopefully.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I think we go Oyster card, yeah?
0:23:08 > 0:23:09The other two sound very fancy,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11but I think the answer to this is Oyster card.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14All right. Well, let's get our train man on it.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Chris?- It's the Oyster card, yeah.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Oyster card is right.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Challengers, in January 2016,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24which member of One Direction became the first to be a father?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- I think this is... - Liam's just had a...
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Liam's just had a baby with Cheryl Cole.- I'm pretty sure Louis
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- had one earlier.- Harry doesn't have a baby, I don't think.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Louis Tomlinson.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Happy with that?- I don't know much about One Direction.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Liam, very recent.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Louis had one before him, Harry's not, so...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Yeah, we'll go on that. - We think that's Louis.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Your knowledge of One Direction is impressive.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Louis's right.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55OK, Eggheads, to catch up.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00Who was Prime Minister of New Zealand before Bill English
0:24:00 > 0:24:02and after Helen Clark?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- John Key.- John Key. - He was there for several years.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Because Bill English took over from John Key.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Well, they are all prime ministers
0:24:13 > 0:24:15of New Zealand but the one before
0:24:15 > 0:24:16was John Key.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18John Key's right.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22So 2-2. Nothing to choose between you at the moment.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Just keep this up.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26What is the approximate population of California?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It's the most populous state.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Is it definitely?
0:24:35 > 0:24:40America has a population of roughly about 260 million, so...
0:24:42 > 0:24:44And what cities have you got?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46You've got LA, San Diego,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Sacramento, San Francisco.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53By size, it's not far off the UK, is it?
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Is there any we can rule out?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I imagine it's more than nine.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- If there's eight million people in New York...- Yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04..there's going to be more than nine in California.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Is 39 million too much or...
0:25:06 > 0:25:11- I think 39.- I'd be swayed towards 39 of the three, but...
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- I'm fairly happy to go for 39. - It's 50-50 to go for 19, 39,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17but it's a huge state.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Should we go 39?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21OK, we're not too certain.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23We definitely think it's more than nine million,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26but we're going to go for 39 million.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30You're right. 39 million.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Well done. Three out of three.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35OK, Eggheads, get this wrong, you've been defeated.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Elspeth Huxley's book The Flame Trees Of Thika
0:25:39 > 0:25:40was set in which country?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- It's Kenya.- I've read it. - They did a TV series of it.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- It's Kenya.- There was
0:25:48 > 0:25:50a quite well received TV series
0:25:50 > 0:25:52about it and I'm pretty certain...
0:25:52 > 0:25:54we're all pretty certain it was set in Kenya.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57If you've got this wrong, the contest is over.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59But the answer is Kenya. Well done.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00So 3-3.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04And we go to Sudden Death in the final round, playing for £3,000.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08All right, guys? Good luck.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Which mythological creature, endowed with a hide
0:26:11 > 0:26:16that was impervious to weapons, was Heracles instructed to kill
0:26:16 > 0:26:21in what's usually said to be the first of his 12 labours?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I don't even know where to start with mythology.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Think of creatures - Medusa, Cyclops...
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I mean, it won't be Medusa.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35She's not really impenetrable to weapons.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40It's going to have to be something more animal like.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45The only mythological creature I can think of off the top of my head is,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48what, a centaur and a Kraken.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- What's the Minotaur? Is that... - Minotaur is a much better shout.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Minotaur is a much better shout. - More furry.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I don't think we're going to come up with a better answer than that.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Right, well, go for it, then.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So definitely not our strongest subject this,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07but we're going to go for Minotaur.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Let's see if the Eggheads know.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Is it Minotaur? - No, that was killed by Theseus.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's the Nemean lion.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- The Nemean lion. - Wouldn't have got that.
