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
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads, the giants of quizzing.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34- Oh, massive.- Yeah?
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- Huge.- Well, before we go on, we will have one of them pose us a question,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40shall we? So, Chris, you've got a teaser.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41I have indeed, Jeremy.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45If Sir Frederick Banbury came second
0:00:45 > 0:00:47and Solario came fourth,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49what came third?
0:00:49 > 0:00:50So, think about it,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53and Chris will give us the answer, won't you, at the end of the show?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:56 > 0:00:58are the Auchlochan Giants.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59The team either work or live
0:00:59 > 0:01:01in the Auchlochan Garden Village
0:01:01 > 0:01:04retirement community in South Lanarkshire.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Let's meet them.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hello, I'm Cliff, and I'm a regional chaplain.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Hi, I'm Ellen, and I'm a geography student.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hello, I'm Will. I'm a housing care manager.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hello, I'm Fionnaigh, and I'm a chaplain.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Hello, I'm John, I am retired from local government.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Cliff and team, hello. - Hello!- Good to see you.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26So, tell us about the retirement community.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29We live on 50 acres, or we work on that 50 acres,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31or we volunteer in that area.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34It's a retirement community, a huge one,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38with 400 residents and almost as many staff.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Sounds wonderful. And the giants are on the land, as well?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Yes, we have a collection of giant redwood trees.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46We're very proud of them,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50and they tend to be jaw-dropping to visitors who come to us.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Sounds like a wonderful place to live.- It is.- OK.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56How does it feel, taking on these five?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58We're up for it, we're excited.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59They're lovely people,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03we've enjoyed watching them, and now it's our turn.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05OK. Good luck, Challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:07 > 0:02:11for the team that comes in. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14So, Auchlochan Giants,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17The Eggheads have won the last three games.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19They're getting a little bit of steam in the engine now.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So there's £4,000 if you can stop them in their tracks.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Would you like to try? - We would, yes, please.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31So, one of you against either Lisa,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Steve, Chris, Chris, Kevin or Judith.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35THEY CONFER
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- John?- Yeah? - Looks like John, I think.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Yes, er, I'd like to take on Lisa, please.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Right, straight to it there.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45So, John from the Auchlochan Giants,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47to take on our quizzing giant, Lisa.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49LAUGHTER To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57So, John, you live on the... in the community?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Yes, I do. - In the Auchlochan community.- Indeed.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I'm trying to avoid calling it a retirement community, or whatever.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04It just sounds like it's a nice place.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08It's a beautiful place, Jeremy. It is a retirement community.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09We have independent living,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13as well as care, and it's a splendid place.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I never regret moving up from Cornwall to be here.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18How wonderful. Lisa, what do you think?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Sounds both absolutely lovely
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and worryingly geographically wide-ranging.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Yes, that's true, cos we are on Geography here.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27So, John, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29May I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Of course you may, and here we go.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39In which ocean is the Yemeni island of Socotra located?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41The Yemeni island of Socotra.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Well, I've sailed past it many times, Jeremy.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49It's in the Indian Ocean.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Yes, it is the Indian Ocean. Do you do a lot of sailing?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I was in the Merchant Navy when I was young
0:03:55 > 0:03:58and sailed round the world on my first voyage.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00This is looking worse and worse for you, Lisa.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- I'll get my coat!- Yeah! JEREMY LAUGHS
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Every single answer makes it look worse.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08All right, well done. So, first of all, Indian Ocean is right.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Lisa, your question.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Herne Bay is a seaside town in which English county?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I had an idea it was the south-east.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I'm now panicking in case it isn't the south-east.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25I had sort of Sussex way in mind.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Er...
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Kent.- Kent is right.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35All right. Your question, John.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Carmel-by-the-Sea, usually known just as Carmel,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41is a resort in which US state?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Ah, now...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Carmel.- I don't think it's Maine.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Between California and Florida...
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Erm, I haven't heard of it in Florida.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00So I think I'll go with California.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Yes, California's right. Well done, John. 2-1.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Back to Lisa.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Chinese and which other language are the official languages
0:05:07 > 0:05:11of the special administrative region of Macau?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I had an idea it was Portuguese.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Erm, it's possible it is French.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24No, I'll go first instinct and go Portuguese.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26You're right. Portuguese is correct.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Anyone help us with Macau? What do we know about it?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Was it a Portuguese colony? - It was, yeah.- But it was near China?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Yes, quite close to Hong Kong,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- close to Hong Kong.- And so, it's still, rather like Hong Kong,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- it's gone back to China? - Yeah, yeah.- OK, John.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Your third question.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Spithead is a part of what body of water?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44I bet you know this.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Well, it's certainly not Morecambe Bay.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52And I know it's not the Wash,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55but I'm certain it's the Solent.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Yeah, very sure-footed. The Solent it is.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59APPLAUSE
0:05:59 > 0:06:02You've been everywhere in that ship of yours!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Lisa, to stay in,
0:06:04 > 0:06:08the flag of Haiti mainly consists of two horizontal bands,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11one red and one of which other colour?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I can't remember! Oh, no!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Oh, my flags used to be really good.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24And they've all just gone completely to pot. It's awful.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Often, you find these things go in sort of clusters, almost.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Like, in Africa, you can find an awful lot of flags that are green,
0:06:33 > 0:06:34yellow and red.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39You get a lot of black over in the Pacific Island...
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I'm just trying to think around...
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Caribbean.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47I will plump...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52..very reluctantly, and with no confidence at all, for blue.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- John, do you know this? - Well, I would've said blue.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Blue is right. LISA EXHALES DEEPLY
0:06:58 > 0:07:00So, three questions each, the scores are level,
0:07:00 > 0:07:01we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03It gets a little bit harder here, John,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06cos I don't give you alternative options.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Which African mountain has several namesakes throughout the world,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14including one in Powys, known in Welsh as Crug Hywel,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18and others in Wyoming, the Catskills and County Wicklow?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Erm... Well, I'm not sure,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and with not a great deal of certainty,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27but is it Table Mountain?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28It is Table Mountain, well done.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Well done. That was very, very good. APPLAUSE
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Lisa.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Tristan da Cunha is a volcanic island
0:07:36 > 0:07:38in which of the world's oceans?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I think Tristan da Cunha is one of those, er...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45..little random fellas in the Atlantic.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Or do I go with Judith and when in doubt say Pacific?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52No, I think it is the Atlantic.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54The Atlantic.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57All islands live in the Pacific, that's Judith's rule.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Right.- However, on this one occasion, you are correct.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- That's nice to know!- The Atlantic.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06OK. John, your question. Sudden Death.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Which shipping forecast area
0:08:08 > 0:08:11around the British coast has a name beginning with V?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Viking.- Viking's right.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17North Utsire, South Utsire. APPLAUSE
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I feel like it's imprinted on me!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I don't even know what they are or how they're spelt or anything.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Viking is the right answer. OK, Lisa on the ropes here.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Which landlocked country in Western Europe has a population
0:08:28 > 0:08:30of approximately 576,000?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Half a million people.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Pick a country.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Any country.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Hope it's landlocked.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Andorra.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45How funny. I was thinking I would go for Andorra on this,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47but I think that might be smaller.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Yeah. I've nothing to sort of base it on, so...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Well, this probably would've been your second choice -
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Luxembourg.- OK.- Luxembourg is the answer. Well done, John.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57You're in the final round.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Nicely done. Very, very good play on Geography, my goodness!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02So, come back to us, John and Lisa, and we'll play on.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08As it stands, the Auchlochan Giants have not lost any brains.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Good play by John. The Eggheads have lost a brain from the final round.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Let's see what's going to happen next. It's Music for you now.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17So, who would like Music?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19This is the one we've been dreading, Jeremy.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Oh, really?
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Music. What are we going to do here?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Ask Fionnaigh?- Fionnaigh?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Yeah.- Fionnaigh. - Fionnaigh on Music, OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29And which Egghead would you like to play, Fionnaigh?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Well, if I'm going to lose, I might as well do it well.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33I'll have Kevin, please.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35All right. Well, that's a good argument.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38And Kevin's had his off moments recently, so we'll see.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40So, Fionnaigh from the Auchlochan Giants
0:09:40 > 0:09:43versus the Grand Master of the Eggheads, our Kevin.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Fionnaigh, you've got a lovely musical connection
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- with the wedding of Charles and Diana?- Yes, yes.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54I was in the Bach Choir.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- So does that mean you were in the cathedral, singing?- Yes, yes.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00We accompanied Kiri Te Kanawa.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02We were the choir, singing behind her...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05That must have been an incredible experience for you.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07It was, extraordinary one, yes.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10OK. Well, good luck on Music, playing the great Kevin.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Would you like to go first or second?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13I'll go first, please.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18And here is your first question.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Which song by the Beatles refers to cellophane flowers
0:10:22 > 0:10:23and newspaper taxis?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Well, it's not Help! - SHE LAUGHS
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Though I could do with some.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Erm...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm really not sure,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38so I'm going to go with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Yes, that's absolutely right.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42OK, Kevin.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Knowing Me, Knowing You
0:10:44 > 0:10:47was a UK number one single for ABBA in which year?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Hmm...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55At least they're reasonably spaced.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57That's something. I was worrying,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59because they had so many of their number one hits
0:10:59 > 0:11:01in a three or four year period.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03That would be 1977.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Of course. 1977, Quite right.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Amazingly, in the same year that punk basically broke out.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Fionnaigh,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13which of these songs appears in the musical Gigi?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Thank Heaven for Little Girls.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24You're quite right,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Thank Heaven for Little Girls.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28OK. Kevin...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Pharrell Williams has been the lead singer and drummer
0:11:31 > 0:11:32for which of these bands?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Right.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Trouble is, there's so much calibration
0:11:40 > 0:11:44that goes on between different groups and acts.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I don't know, so I'll go with the first one.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- N*E*R*D.- Yes, N*E*R*D is the right answer.- Mm.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54OK, so you're level.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Fionnaigh, in the 1960s,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59which of these singers became a temporary member of the Beach Boys,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02filling in for Brian Wilson when he became unable to tour?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I haven't got a clue.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Um...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15SHE SIGHS
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I've no idea, so I'm going to say Glenn Campbell.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Glen Campbell's right.- Oh!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Playing really well. APPLAUSE
0:12:22 > 0:12:24OK, Kevin.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26The Humming Chorus comes at the end of Act Two
0:12:26 > 0:12:29of which of Puccini's operas?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It takes a while sometimes before you can identify
0:12:35 > 0:12:36that it's actually happening.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I suppose that depends on the performance,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- but it's Madame Butterfly, anyway. - Yes, it is Madame Butterfly.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43So, here we go again, three questions each,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45the scores are level once again,
0:12:45 > 0:12:46we go to Sudden Death once again.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48And Fionnaigh, it's your question.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50No alternatives, remember.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Kiss and Make-Up, published in 2001,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56is the title of a memoir by which rock singer and musician?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59SHE SIGHS
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Again, I have no idea.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Um...
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Kiss and Make-Up...
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Ozzy Osbourne. I have no idea!
0:13:10 > 0:13:14The... No, it's not that. The sort of clue is in the title, slightly,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17cos the word Kiss is the key, the key word,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19cos it's the band Kiss.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Well, I wouldn't have known that either...
0:13:21 > 0:13:22It's Gene Simmons,
0:13:22 > 0:13:27who's the bass guitarist and co-lead singer.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29OK, Kevin, you can take the round now.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32"Up to mighty London came an Irishman one day,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35"all the streets are paved with gold, sure, everyone was gay,"
0:13:35 > 0:13:37are the opening lines of which song,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39which became very popular with British troops
0:13:39 > 0:13:41during the First World War?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Well, er, with the Irish connection there, I don't...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Funnily enough, I don't recognise the...
0:13:48 > 0:13:51the lines, but I'm assuming It's a Long Way to Tipperary.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Kevin, you got it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55You got that right.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Sorry, Fionnaigh. On Sudden Death, knocked out.- OK.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So it's level, and it's an intense contest, this one.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Return to us, please, and we'll see what happens next.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07So, as it stands, the Auchlochan Giants
0:14:07 > 0:14:10have lost a brain now from the final round,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12the Eggheads have lost one as well,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14and the next subject is Arts & Books.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Intake of breath!
0:14:17 > 0:14:22I think that sounds like it's going to be a sacrificial lamb on the end.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24OK, Cliff, our chaplain,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26against which Egghead?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Er, I think I'm going to go for Steve, please.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Right, so, Cliff from the Auchlochan Giants.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Steve, are you up for this?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Yeah, course I am.- Good.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Steve from the Eggheads, please take your positions, gentlemen.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43So, Cliff, up against Steve, would you like to go first or second?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51OK. The Egghead starts.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Steve, Little Miss Whoops is the sister
0:14:53 > 0:14:57of which of Roger Hargreaves' original Mr Men?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I Think that's Mr Bump, Jeremy.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Mr Bump is right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05OK, Cliff.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09In which century was JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings
0:15:09 > 0:15:10first published?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Mm...
0:15:16 > 0:15:19And we were watching this just the other night.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Er, all three, we'd watched, one after the other,
0:15:22 > 0:15:27and I think it was first published in the 20th century.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Very good, yes. 20th century.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Cos it sounds like it was before that.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Anyone give me a year, Eggheads?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I think, as a trilogy, '55?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38OK, Steve.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Self-Portrait With Yellow Christ,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43painted in the late 19th century,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46is a famous work by which French Post-Impressionist artist
0:15:46 > 0:15:50and sometime friend of Vincent van Gogh?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Well, I did have an idea in my head anyway before the options come up,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02but the extra little clue about Vincent van Gogh
0:16:02 > 0:16:04steers me towards Paul Gauguin.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Paul Gauguin is the right answer.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09And we go back to you, Cliff.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11For what did the letter P stand
0:16:11 > 0:16:14in the name of the detective novelist PD James?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19One of my favourite authors.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Erm, certainly not Patrick, because she's female.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26And I'm pretty sure it's Phyllis.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29It is Phyllis, yes.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30OK, Steve.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34By what name is the artist Jerome van Eycken better known?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43He's very well-known for his absolutely bizarre paintings.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45It's Hieronymus Bosch.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47It is indeed Hieronymus Bosch, well done.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49They're good, aren't they, Cliff?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51They are. They're very good.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53So, cos you went second,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56he's got the slight advantage now. You've got to get this right, OK?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Which reclusive American poet wrote,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07"and sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all"?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Now, that's a tough one.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'm not great on American poets, erm...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman...
0:17:21 > 0:17:27Walt Whitman was a very strange-looking character, so...
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Looked a bit like Chris, I think, so...
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Lots of hair, a bit of beard, I think.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35So could've been a recluse.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Allen Ginsberg... I'm going to go for Walt Whitman.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41OK.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43On the basis
0:17:43 > 0:17:45that he looked a bit like Chris,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47and therefore could've been a recluse!
0:17:47 > 0:17:51We'll... I'll sort that out with Chris later on.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53JEREMY LAUGHS Actually, it's Emily Dickinson.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Oh...- Bless her.- OK. - Great, great poet.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And she is the answer, and therefore, Steve is in the final.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Sorry, Cliff.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Playing well there. I thought you were going to make it through.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07So, come back to us, and we'll play one more round before the final.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11OK, so the Auchlochan Giants
0:18:11 > 0:18:12have lost two brains from the final round,
0:18:12 > 0:18:16the Eggheads have lost one, and the next subject is Film & TV.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Who would like this?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Oh, boy.- It could be.- Not me!
0:18:22 > 0:18:23- Yeah, OK.- OK?- Yeah.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- That'll be Ellen, I think. - Ellen on Film & TV.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29And which Egghead would you like? You can have Chris or Judith.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Er... Chris the recluse... LAUGHTER
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I think we'll go for Judith.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36So, it's Ellen from the Auchlochan Giants
0:18:36 > 0:18:39versus Judith from the Eggheads, Film & TV.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Let's see what happens. Please go to the Question Room.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44We're on Film & TV,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46and Ellen, would you like to go first or second?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Ellen, which sport does Cuba Gooding Jr's character Rod Tidwell
0:18:56 > 0:19:01play professionally in the film Jerry Maguire?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I have no idea, cos I haven't watched it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Erm... So it's going to be a complete guess.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13We're going to go down the middle with American football.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14And you're quite right!
0:19:14 > 0:19:16APPLAUSE Well done.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Is that...? That's the film with Tom Cruise, yeah?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Judith...
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Nurse Gladys Emmanuel is a character in which sitcom
0:19:24 > 0:19:27that had its first series broadcast in 1976?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34I think that might be...
0:19:34 > 0:19:38There's a large nurse in Open All Hours, isn't there?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I think it might be Open All Hours.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Open All Hours is right. Well done.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Back to you, Ellen.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Which comedian stars alongside his mum
0:19:47 > 0:19:50in the TV series Asian Provocateur?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Erm, again, I don't know,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03so it's going to be a guess, so the last one, Sanjeev Bhaskar?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Now, he was in the Kumars, wasn't he?
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Not this, though.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Sanjeev is not the answer.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Romesh Ranganathan is the answer. - Mm.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13OK, Judith, you can take the lead.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18What type of character is Hank, voiced by Ed O'Neill,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20in the 2016 film Finding Dory?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Voiced by who?
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Ed O'Neill.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Ed O'Neill. Right.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30- Hank.- Hank.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33What would I call one of those Hank?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I think it might be a manta ray.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Anyone on the table know? Eggheads?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42There was definitely an octopus in it.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I know there's something that teaches all the fish,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- but I can't remember. - Yeah. Lisa, you've seen this?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I haven't, actually. I'm floundering around.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Anyone know? Competitors? Challengers?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- No? It's an octopus.- Octopus. - Mm-hm...
0:20:53 > 0:20:54That's good, Ellen.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56A little let-off there.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Pigsy, Sandy and Tripitaka
0:20:59 > 0:21:04were characters in which TV series of the 1970s and '80s?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Ellen, was it...
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Erm...
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Complete guess, again.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Erm...
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I'm going to go with the first one, Raise the Red Lantern.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- No, the answer is Monkey.- Mm.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22So, Judith, a chance to take the round.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26The TV series Veep is the creation of which writer and producer?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Veep, V-E-E-P.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Veep.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Erm, well, it's not... I'm sure it's not Ricky Gervais.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I'm just wondering why it should be Armando Iannucci,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45but I have a sort of feeling that it is.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Erm... OK, Armando Iannucci.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Yes, you're right. Armando Iannucci is the answer, Judith.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Well done. So, Ellen, sorry, knocked out by our millionairess,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59who will be in the final. And if you come back to us, both of you,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01we will play that final round.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07It is time for the final round,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09which as always is General Knowledge.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:12 > 0:22:14are of course not allowed to take part.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17So, Cliff, Ellen and Fionnaigh from the Auchlochan Giants,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19and also Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Well, welcome to the final, Will and John,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and you are playing to win the Auchlochan Giants £4,000.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Handy jackpot today.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Steve, Chris, Kevin, Judith, you're playing for something that money,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I guess, can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39And of course, you love to get above 10,000 as well, don't you,
0:22:39 > 0:22:40for the jackpot?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45They're all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48So, gentlemen, the question is, can your two brains
0:22:48 > 0:22:53defeat these four over here, in a famous victory for Auchlochan?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:55 > 0:22:56We'd like to go first, please.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Here we go. First question.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Which city became the capital of Nigeria in 1991?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- I think it's Abuja.- Abuja?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yeah, OK. We'll go for Abuja.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Abuja is correct.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Abuja's right. People often think it's Lagos,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21but it's... Abuja is the administrative capital.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23OK. Eggheads.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- Which city became the UK's Capital of Culture in 2017?- Hm...
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- We were talking about this earlier! - Yeah.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Hull. Sunny Hull. Yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Yeah.- Yeah. That's Hull, Jeremy.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Hull is the correct answer.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42OK, Challengers.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Which disc jockey
0:23:44 > 0:23:48was the first presenter of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show in 1967?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Breakfast Show.- Oh, '67.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56John Peel...
0:23:56 > 0:24:00He was doing it then, but Blackburn was fairly early too, wasn't he?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- He was.- Erm...- I think instinctively I would've gone with...
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Tony...- I thought John Peel, but...
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Yeah.- ..I think Tony Blackburn.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Well, could be, yeah.- Yeah, OK.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Stab in the dark. We'll go for Tony Blackburn.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Yeah, it is, it's Tony Blackburn.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Quite a famous radio moment, he played...
0:24:18 > 0:24:19First record?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- CHRIS:- Flowers in the Rain. - Flowers in the Rain by The Move.
0:24:21 > 0:24:241967.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Eggheads,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28which novel by Evelyn Waugh, published in 1934,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31features the protagonist Tony Lost?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Is this...
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Scoop?- A Handful of Dust. - No, I think it's Boot of the Beast.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I think it's A Handful of Dust, isn't it?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42It's A Handful of Dust. He ends up, up the Amazon.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44That's right, he goes up the Amazon, doesn't he?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Cos Vile Bodies is the bright young things of the '20s.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Yeah.- Yes.- Handful of Dust?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Yeah.- Yeah. - That's A Handful of Dust, Jeremy.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54OK. Tony Last is in A Handful of Dust, you're right.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Didn't get derailed there. So, 2-2.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58JEREMY LAUGHS
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Bit tense, isn't it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Here is your question. Which major US city is served by
0:25:04 > 0:25:07and features in the names of daily newspapers
0:25:07 > 0:25:10known as the Sun Times and the Tribune?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I've a feeling, the Sun Times,
0:25:16 > 0:25:17I'm thinking California.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Yeah, but I think there's a Chicago Tribune.- Oh, right.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Chicago Times?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31I wouldn't have put Chicago Sun together, so...
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I would be looking towards
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Los Angeles, but I could totally be wrong.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- The New York Times, OK...- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42The Sun Times. I would go...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44That would be my choice, but...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- What, Los Angeles? - Yeah, but you make your mind up.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Sun Times...
0:25:49 > 0:25:50I'll leave it to you.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54OK. We'll have a stab at Los Angeles.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00- No, it's the Chicago Sun Times. - Oh!- And the Chicago Tribune.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- You were right with that. - Chicago is the answer.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I think it's not so much to do with the weather,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09it's to do with maybe the fact that maybe a Sun newspaper
0:26:09 > 0:26:11and a Times newspaper were amalgamated at some point.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Yeah, yeah. Sorry.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14OK. Eggheads, to take the contest,
0:26:14 > 0:26:19which British sitcom actor opened the world's first cash machine
0:26:19 > 0:26:21in Enfield in 1967?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- THE EGGHEADS LAUGH - Oh, for goodness' sake.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- What a question!- That is...
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Why are you laughing?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- It's such a ridiculous question! - THEY LAUGH
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Yes, this was my old stamping ground, Jeremy,
0:26:35 > 0:26:39and it was Barclays Bank in Enfield Town, and it was Reg Varney.
