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 > 0:00:31Here they are - the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- Hello.- Feeling quizzy?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Yes.- You always are.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Taking on our quiz champions today are the Clag Grandmasters.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This friends-and-family team take their name from a shared love of
0:00:42 > 0:00:44a card game called clag.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Which is a new one on me, I must admit.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Jon,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and I'm an NHS fire officer.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Matt, I'm a police officer.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Anne, I'm a retired social worker.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Dan, I'm a community nurse.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Jason, and I'm a sales manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02So, Jon and team, hello.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hello.- Welcome. I've got to ask about clag. Let's just see,
0:01:05 > 0:01:06does anyone here know clag?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- No.- We don't know clag.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09They're missing a trick, Jeremy.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Is it complicated?- No, not really.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Deck of cards.- It's a deck of cards, there's a scoring system,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17and you basically bid for tricks.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- OK.- So it might sound familiar,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22but there's a lot of slight subtle nuances.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25And it's big in the RAF Police, I understand?
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Yes. I met Matthew and Jason in the RAF Police in the early '90s,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- and that's where we started playing clag.- Good stuff.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And a bit of quizzing there as well, maybe?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36We really got into quizzing, I think,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38when we used to go on skiing holidays.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42We got into it, myself, Matt, Dan and Jason.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So we've not quizzed as a five, but we have all quizzed.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49OK. Well, listen, I wish you well.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56the prize-money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Now, Clag Grandmasters, the Eggheads are into their stride.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02They've won the last four games on the trot.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05So there is £5,000 to win today, which is good.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06I hope you take them down.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Do you want to try? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Good. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17So, it's one of you against either Dave, Lisa, Steve, Kevin or Judith.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Jason?- Yeah, I'll take music.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Music, and we will...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Jason, OK, our sales manager.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Which one of them?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Who looks rusty?- Dave.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Dave? OK, yep, Dave.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Very good. Have you ever played clag, Dave?
0:02:31 > 0:02:32No, I've played brag.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Brag, yeah. THEY LAUGH
0:02:35 > 0:02:38All right, so Jason from our Challengers versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46So you were up for music there, Jason?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It seems so, yes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Is that cos you've got the music gene, or...?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Well, no, I don't play any musical instruments.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I like, obviously, a wide range of music.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57And you're the reigning clag master?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- I am, yes.- Meaning you've beaten them all?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Yeah. My first year on the European tour recently,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07we were in Germany playing several games a day,
0:03:07 > 0:03:11and on the count on the way back, I was the king.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14So, does that mean you actually take it quite seriously, then?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16You're on a European tour playing it?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Well, it's more about the beer, I think.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22OK, music, Jason. And would you like to go first or second?
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Can I go first, please?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Jason, your first question.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33What is the stage name of the rapper Anna Gilford,
0:03:33 > 0:03:38who finished fifth in the 2016 series of ITV's X Factor?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41So, Gilford is G-I-L-F-O-R-D.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Yeah, I'm ashamed to say I know that one.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47It's Honey G.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Yeah, it is. People were saying she looked like David Cameron.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54So all very strange. Honey G is the answer.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Dave. The song City Of Stars, which won a Golden Globe
0:03:58 > 0:04:02for Best Original Song in 2017, is from which film?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08HE CHUCKLES
0:04:08 > 0:04:12I'm just thinking of it in Moonlight and Fences.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Seen all three films, I think it's La La land.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Definitely. That lovely piano riff, isn't it?- Yes.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20La La Land is right.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Jason.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Kevin Rowland is best known as the front man of which group
0:04:24 > 0:04:26that had a UK number one single in 1982?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Um... I know it's not Human League,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and I'm pretty sure it's not Kraftwerk,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39so I'm going to go for Dexys Midnight Runners.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Dexys Midnight Runners is the right answer.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Well done, Jason. A bit before your time, really.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I do remember it, vaguely.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48OK, Dave.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Which of these is a 1928 work by George Gershwin?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Right. I thought Adagio For Strings was Samuel Barber.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I thought Appalachian Spring was Aaron Copland,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04so I'll go for An American In Paris, please.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Nicely done, you're right on all counts.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08An American In Paris.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10They're good these Eggheads, aren't they, Jason?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Yes, they are.- OK, so your question.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Get three in a row, put Dave under some pressure.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Cosima Wagner, the second wife of Richard Wagner,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23was the daughter of which other renowned composer?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I was dreading classical music coming up.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I haven't got a clue on that.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38So I'm going to go straight down the middle with Johannes Brahms.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40OK, Brahms is your answer.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Just trying to think if there's any of getting to this.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Let's see, Eggheads? Kevin, do some dates for us.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47When was Richard Wagner born?
0:05:47 > 0:05:501813.
0:05:50 > 0:05:521813.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Help us out then. - The answer is Liszt.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57The answer is Liszt, OK.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58So Liszt was born when?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- 1811.- And Brahms?
0:06:01 > 0:06:021833.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- And Chopin?- 1810.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Isn't it amazing?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I've forgotten what the question is now.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- And Cosima was the daughter of Liszt, that's the question?- Yes.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14All right, Liszt is the answer.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Franz Liszt.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18So Dave has a chance to get himself into the final.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Bring The Noise and Don't Believe The Hype
0:06:22 > 0:06:24are singles by which rap group, Dave?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30It's not De La Soul.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I don't believe it's NWA.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I went to see these in Stratford some years ago,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37it's Public Enemy.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Playing with a bit of certainty here, aren't you, on music?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41You do love your music. Public Enemy is the right answer.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Well done, Dave, you're in the final. Sorry, Jason.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Just taken on the last curve there.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Yeah.- And beaten by our Egghead, and knocked out.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Please return to us, both of you, we'll play on.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54OK, as it stands, the Clag Grandmasters
0:06:54 > 0:06:56have lost one brain from the final round.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Here are the Eggheads with their, what is it?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Their streak of four. Yeah! Look at that.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03A bit of a swagger. You need to stop them, guys.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Play the winning card here. The next subject is Sport.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I'm thinking this could be good for you.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10- Yes.- Who wants that?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Dan, you're Sport?- OK.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Dan, OK, our community nurse, against which Egghead?
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Judith, please.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Dan from the Clag Grandmasters to play the
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Grand Mistress of the Eggs, our Judith, on Sport.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Judith, I have looked out your Sport statistics.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Yes.- Well, it's good.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Good?- In the history of Eggheads, since the dawn of time,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- you've won 134. - That doesn't sound very much.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Well, it's more than all of the Eggheads you're playing with today
0:07:43 > 0:07:44put together, Judith.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- No!- Yes.- Well, it's only cos I get asked all the time...
0:07:47 > 0:07:48- Well...- ..and they don't.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Yeah, in the recent sequence of five games, you've won more than one.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Two?- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00But listen. The sequence is - lost, won, lost, won, lost.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02So this is the one.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- OK?- Oh, well, yes, let's hope. - You're going to win. So, Sport, Dan,
0:08:05 > 0:08:06you can see what you've got us into here.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Do you want to go first or second? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16OK. Try not to upset Judith too much.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Here's your question. In the Tour de France,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21what title is given to the leader in the competition for points gained
0:08:21 > 0:08:22on climbs?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I believe I know it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I think it's King of the Mountains.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It is indeed. Well done. King of the Mountains.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35OK, Judith, your question.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40In which year did Gareth Southgate memorably miss a penalty against
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Germany at the semifinal of the UEFA European Football Championship,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46losing the match for England?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Gareth Southgate.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Yeah.- Well, he's still sort of going in some capacity, isn't he?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01So it can't be as far away as '86.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I think, hasn't he turned into a coach or something like that?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- I think it might be '96.- Yes!
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Yay! You got it right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Hurray.- OK, 1996 is the answer.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Dan, your question. In rugby union,
0:09:13 > 0:09:17how often do the British and Irish Lions typically tour?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23I'm not great with rugby.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29I think it's a toss-up between every year and every four years.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It's not every ten years, that's too long.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I wish Jason was here now.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I'm going to go for every four years, down the middle.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- OK, let's just check with Jason. Is he right?- He is right, yes.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Yes, you're right, Dan. Well done.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47They were tense back here, when you were thinking about that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Every four years. Judith, to catch up.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51In 1938,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54on which horse did 17-year-old Bruce Hobbs
0:09:54 > 0:09:57become the youngest jockey to win the Grand National?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Well, Crisp was quite recent.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I mean, much more recent than that, anyhow.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I don't know anything about the other two horses.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I'm going to say Battleship, as it's just before the war.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- I see.- Well, or something.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Yeah, good thought.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Let's just see, cos the Eggs have been puzzling a bit over this.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Anyone?- ESB beat Devon Loch.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Dick Francis' horse... The '50s?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- '56.- Yeah.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29And Crisp were runner-up to Redrum.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31OK. But you're right, Judith, Battleship is good.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Good bit of logic there. Just prior to World War II,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36that's what was on our mind. OK, two each.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Dan, back to you. Third question, could be crucial.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43From which sport do we derive the word foible?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44F-O-I-B-L-E.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Oh, that's...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I don't really know the answer to that.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'm thinking,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I've never heard of foible before, as in a sport. So...
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'm going to go down the middle and go for fencing.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Cos it sounds quite close to foil,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07that's the only reason I'm going for that.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Do you know, that's often a very good way of getting the answer,
0:11:10 > 0:11:11and you've got it right. Well done. Fencing.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Can anyone help us on the fencing?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Judith, you've been a fencer in the past?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17No, I think it might be French.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Foi-ble.- Foi-ble?- And there's a lot of epee and French words in fencing.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I mean, that would've been my logic.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I gather, having racked my brains,
0:11:25 > 0:11:29it is part of the sword blade from the middle to the point.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Ah, and is it a French word?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It's the foi-ble, it's the weakest point.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Oh, it is the foi-ble. Oh, the feeble.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37So, when you say... Yes, feeble, that's a good point.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40So when you say somebody has got a foible, it is a sort of weakness,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42is it, Judith, do you think?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I think it's sort of a quirk, isn't it?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- A quirk, yeah, exactly. Exactly, yeah.- Yeah.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Judith, your third question, to stay in.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53In basketball, what name is given to a play in which a player throws
0:11:53 > 0:11:57the ball near the basket for team-mate who jumps,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01catches the pass and dunks the ball before landing?
0:12:01 > 0:12:02If you can imagine that.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07SHE CHUCKLES
0:12:07 > 0:12:11A banana shot. Well, a banana shot must be the shape of a banana.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I don't know what on earth... I suppose it could be a fadeaway,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18cos you throw the thing and then you fadeaway yourself.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Or an alley-oop. I just like alley-oop.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Let's go for alley-oop.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- It is alley-oop.- Oh, good.- You've got three out of three.- Hurray.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28So, well done. You're level after three questions.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30We go back to you, Dan, and it gets a bit harder.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32It gets to Sudden Death now.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35OK? I don't know if you have sudden death in clag.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37We have a play-off, yes, it can happen.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Right, so you know all about it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Yeah.- I don't give you alternative answers.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Which British rower finally won an Olympic gold medal in 2012,
0:12:45 > 0:12:50having won silver at the three previous games?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I believe it's a lady, and I can picture her in my mind.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57But I can't for the life of me remember her name.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01So... I'm going to have to pass, I'm afraid.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I can't hazard a guess at a lady's name.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- OK.- OK, sorry, pass.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08No problem. Let's just see if your team-mates know.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09- Do you know?- Is it Grainger?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Something like that? - Yeah, Katherine Grainger.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16OK. So, Judith, a chance to take the round.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Here we go. Can you do it?
0:13:17 > 0:13:23Which male tennis player, born in 1952, won US Open titles
0:13:23 > 0:13:25on three different surfaces during his career,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27the only player to do so?
0:13:28 > 0:13:34So, he would be in his heyday in the '70s and early '80s.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Um, what about Jimmy Connors?
0:13:36 > 0:13:40He won grass, clay at Forest Hills,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and hard court at Flushing Meadow,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- the answer is Jimmy Connors. You've taken the round, Judith, on Sport.- Gosh.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- How about that, on Jimmy Connors? - It always feels like a miracle.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52There we are. And this won, loss, won, loss thing is carrying on.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Dan, sorry, knocked out there. Come back to us, both of you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56We'll play another round.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01All right. So, if this was a game of clag, what would we do -
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- deal differently? Reshuffle? - Can't reshuffle clag.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06We've just got to play on through.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Play on through. Clag Grandmasters have lost two brains from the final round,
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Eggs are still sitting there.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14They're thinking, I can see what they're thinking, they're thinking they're on a roll.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17And you've got to stop them. The next subject is Science.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20So, who would like this? Who's the scientist?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- That's got to be me, hasn't it? - Yeah.- OK. That's me, Jeremy.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26OK, Jon, our NHS fire officer, against which Egghead?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28And it's got to be one of the three in the middle.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- I'm going to say Lisa.- Very good. Jon from Clag Grandmasters,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34to take on Lisa on Science. You've had a bit of Science recently.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36You heard the man, just play on through.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Play on through. Go to the Question Room, please, and play on through.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44So, Jon, fitness is your thing, I know.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Not so much these days, but it used to be, Jeremy, yes.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49How many triathlons have you done?
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Dozens, I would guess.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Maybe even hundreds. But in my heyday.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54OK. Against Lisa on Science, Jon.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I'll take the first set, please, Jeremy.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06And here we go. The green pigment chlorophyll allows plants to absorb
0:15:06 > 0:15:07energy from what?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- I think that's light, Jeremy. - Light is right.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18OK, Lisa. By what name is the insect known as the firefly also known?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I never thought I'd have to resort to an Owl City song,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26but I'm going to have to do that.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28So Owl City did a song called Fireflies,
0:15:28 > 0:15:33where I think the lyric references 10,000 lightning bugs.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35# As they try to teach me how to dance... #
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Yeah, that's right. Lightning bug. - You and your lyrics. I mean...
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I've heard that song a lot of times and I never picked out the words
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- lightning bugs.- I've got to learn it somehow, Jeremy.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45That's amazing how you do that. Lightning bug is right.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Is all your knowledge basically from pop songs?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50And Jilly Cooper novels.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52One each. Back to you, Jon. Team captain.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55The scientific organisation the Royal Institution
0:15:55 > 0:15:58was founded at the end of which century?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I'll rule out the 20th. I think that's too late.
0:16:04 > 0:16:0616th, possibly too early.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I'm going to go straight down the middle, Jeremy, for the 18th.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Yes, you're right. 18th it is.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15OK, Lisa. Of the following objects in our solar system,
0:16:15 > 0:16:16which is the largest?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Honestly, I second-guess everything.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I'm fairly certain it's Mercury, she says.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30I think Pluto is smaller than pretty much everything else,
0:16:30 > 0:16:31they keep reclassifying Pluto.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35And the moon, you know...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38If something bigger than Pluto or Mercury was going round Earth,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41it would be stupid, wouldn't it? I think it must be Mercury.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Mercury is correct.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Back to you, Jon.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Which brownish, black gel-like substance, a native hydrocarbon,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53is found in peat beds and is named after the physicist
0:16:53 > 0:16:55who first unearthed it?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Again, nothing is coming to me.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05I'm going to go with...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10..the most famous, I'm going to go for Newtonite.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Lisa, do you know this?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Not a clue. - Yeah, Dopplerite is the answer.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Schrodinger was the one with the cat,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18and Newton was the one with the Apple.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Dopplerite is the answer. OK.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Lisa, for the round.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Which algebraic term is typically used to describe a symbol with
0:17:26 > 0:17:30an unknown numerical value in an equation?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36A symbol with an unknown numerical value.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I don't think it can be a denominator.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43You know, a denominator tends to be the factor that brings
0:17:43 > 0:17:45things together.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47If you don't know what it is, you're in trouble.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50It sort of seems like it should be variable, because, you know,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52if it's in an equation and you don't know what it is,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54you're usually trying to work that out.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Yeah. My logic is not going to get any better than this,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59and with huge apologies to my mother,
0:17:59 > 0:18:03the maths teacher - sorry, Mum, you tried, it wasn't your fault -
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- I'll go for variable.- Let's see.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- Eggheads?- Yeah.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Yep, we like variable. Variable is right, three out of three.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Jon, sorry, knocked out by Lisa there.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- She's very good.- Roping around a bit, but in the end...
0:18:13 > 0:18:15On the plus side, my mum feels so much better now.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Your mum is pleased. OK, so come back to us.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20We've got one more round to play before the final.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25So, as it stands, the Clag Grandmasters have lost three brains
0:18:25 > 0:18:28from the final round, and here the Eggheads all are.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30No-one is out from that side yet.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32The next subject is Politics.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So, this is going to be Matt or Anne.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Who would like this? - I'll do it, if you like,
0:18:37 > 0:18:38- OK.- Yeah.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- OK.- OK, Anne.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42And you can choose either Steve or Kevin.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44There's no easy way here.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46It's got to be Steve.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Yeah, we'll try Steve.- Very good.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51So it's Anne from the Clag Grandmasters
0:18:51 > 0:18:53playing Steve on Politics from the Eggheads.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56For one last time, please go to our Question Room.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00All right, good luck to you against Steve.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02And, Anne, would you like to go first or second?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Here we go. In which year did the SNP win their first seat
0:19:13 > 0:19:14in the UK Parliament?
0:19:19 > 0:19:25I don't think they were around in the 19th century, I could be wrong.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I am going to go for 1945.
0:19:28 > 0:19:301945 is correct.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35OK, Steve. In the 2016 EU referendum vote,
0:19:35 > 0:19:40what percentage of the votes cast in Gibraltar were for Remain?
0:19:44 > 0:19:49I think they famously wanted in, so I'm going to go top of the shop, 96.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52That's right. And I have a memory that that was very first result
0:19:52 > 0:19:54that came in on the night as well.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57So it's quite striking. 96%.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01OK, Anne. Where is the European Court of Justice based?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I was expecting Strasbourg to come up.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12But, as it hasn't, I think I'm going to say Brussels.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- It is actually Luxembourg City.- Oh. - It's difficult, these institutions.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19But Strasbourg and Brussels have both got
0:20:19 > 0:20:20a European Parliament in them.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Yes.- Because they couldn't decide where to put it
0:20:22 > 0:20:24and they built two of them.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Yeah.- But that's not the same as the European Court of Justice?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29No, the European Court of Justice is
0:20:29 > 0:20:31the body that applies the rules and
0:20:31 > 0:20:33regulations, it's not the same.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37This was much confused in the Brexit campaign,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40it is not the same thing as the European Court of Human Rights,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42which is nothing to do with the EU.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45There was a lot of banging on about that, but they're not the same.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47And where is the European Court of Human Rights based?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Strasbourg.- That's in Strasbourg. Ah, right.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- That's where I think... That's what happened, yes.- Hence confusion.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55So, Kevin is just saying the European Court of Human Rights
0:20:55 > 0:20:57is in Strasbourg, Anne.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Right.- Which may be where we got into confusion.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Yes.- OK, Steve, your question.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Which British Prime Minister's autobiography has
0:21:04 > 0:21:08chapter titles including "From Brixton to Westminster,"
0:21:08 > 0:21:10"Maastricht", and "Black Wednesday"?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Well, the three things you just said, Jeremy,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20can only really apply to John Major.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22So, that's me answer.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Yeah, he's the one who got into trouble with Maastricht and so on.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28John Major. So, Anne, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Which US President was born in Omaha, Nebraska?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Well, Jimmy Carter was from Georgia, I believe.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I think Richard Nixon was a Californian,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44so I'm going to say Gerald Ford.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45You're bang on. That's quite right.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Gerald Ford it is, who took over from Nixon when he resigned.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52So, level. But Steve has this question in hand.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54And you can win the round with this, Steve.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58From 2002 to 2013, Mwai Kibaki
0:21:58 > 0:22:00was president of which African country?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Can I just have a spelling on that, please, Jeremy?
0:22:05 > 0:22:11Yeah, first name is M-W-A-I, then K-I-B-A-K-I.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I'm not 100% with this by any means,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17but I'm going to try Kenya.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's difficult, isn't it?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22He's not particularly internationally well-known.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24But Kenya is the answer, Steve, you've got it.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27You've got three out of three. Anne, sorry, knocked out,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29tricky for our Challengers in the final,
0:22:29 > 0:22:30but no doubt they can still win.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Come back to us, both of you. We will play the final round for £5,000.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:38 > 0:22:39it is time for the final round,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads will not be
0:22:44 > 0:22:46allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50So, Jon, Anne, Dan and Jason, from Clag Grandmasters,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:54 > 0:22:55OK, Matt. Our police officer here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58You are playing to win the Clag Grandmasters £5,000.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00I'm sorry you're doing it on your own.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Dave, Lisa, Steve, Kevin and Judith,
0:23:02 > 0:23:06you are playing to just continue this run that the Eggheads are on.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Normally I say you can confer,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15but your team-mates are all stuck back there,
0:23:15 > 0:23:16so I'm afraid you're on your own.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Matt, the question is, can you, with your one brain,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22defeat these five super brains here?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I'm sure you can do it. Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25First, please, Jeremy.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30OK, your team-mates are rooting for you.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Good luck.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Which former US vice president was a recipient
0:23:33 > 0:23:37of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007?
0:23:41 > 0:23:47I'm pretty certain that Al Gore made some film about the environment,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50so I wonder if that's linked to this Peace Prize.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52I guess the timings would have been about right.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57So I'm going to go for Al Gore.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Well, Dick Cheney would still have been vice president then, would he?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- That's right.- Yeah.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05And it's not Dan Quayle, so you're quite right, Al Gore is the answer.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08First question for the Eggheads.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Which peninsula in Dorset lends its name to a type of cement,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14commonly used in the production of concrete?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Portland.- It's Portland. - It's Portland.- OK?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21That is Portland cement, Jeremy.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Yes, Portland is right.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25OK, your question.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Matt, which type of pasta, made in broad ribbons,
0:24:28 > 0:24:34has a name derived from the Italian for "to eat greedily" or "devour?"
0:24:39 > 0:24:41So there are no obvious ones in there,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45I think they're all types of long pasta.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47There's something drawing me to pappardelle.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I'm going to go with my instinct - pappardelle.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- Is he right, Eggheads?- They're all sorts of long ribbon types of pasta,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56pappardelle is the widest of them.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57But, yeah, it's difficult,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01because there isn't an obvious link to stuffing your face.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04No. But pappardelle is the right answer.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Well done. Great answer.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Yeah, you did really well there.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It reminds you of the story about the son
0:25:09 > 0:25:11who goes to his mum and says "I'm getting married," she says,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14"You can't get married, I cook you so much pasta."
0:25:14 > 0:25:17And he says, "No, Mum, I'm sorry, you can't talk to me like that,
0:25:17 > 0:25:18"I'm going to get married."
0:25:18 > 0:25:21And she says, "I cook you your tagliatelle, I cook your fettuccine,
0:25:21 > 0:25:22"I cook your pappardelle.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24"Why do you say I can't talk to you like that?"
0:25:24 > 0:25:26And he says, "No, you can't talk to me like that
0:25:26 > 0:25:28"because you're not Italian."
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Apologies, Tim.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- Oh, it's lovely.- OK.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Eggheads, your question. To catch up.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Oh, what's happening? Are we quaking, Eggs?
0:25:37 > 0:25:42The actor David Suchet played which iconic role on the West End stage
0:25:42 > 0:25:44in 2015?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- It's Lady Bracknell. - It's Lady Bracknell.- Yes.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51If you're happy, Kevin.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- He did Lady Bracknell. - Missed that totally.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55He's too old for Blanche Dubois, isn't he?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58He did a bit of cross dressing, obviously,
0:25:58 > 0:25:59you have to for one of those roles,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03but he played Lady Bracknell in The Importance Of Being Earnest.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Yes, he did. Lady Bracknell.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- The handbag.- Well done, Kevin.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09OK, level. Two points each. Matt,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12get this right and you may not have to do any more work today
0:26:12 > 0:26:14to claim the 5,000.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19Which term is used in astronomy for the alignment of three bodies
0:26:19 > 0:26:21of the solar system
0:26:21 > 0:26:24along a straight or nearly straight line?
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Don't know the answer to this.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36I'm drawn to culmination, things coming together.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39So that is my answer.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Culmination is your answer.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Eggheads, what's a culmination?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Is there a culmination? - Not sure... No, it's a general word,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- but not sure what that refers to... - Go on.- It's syzygy.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Syzygy. Syzygy is the answer.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52So two out of three. Is it enough to go to Sudden Death?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Let's see. Eggheads, if you get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Who is the creator of the comic strip character Dick Tracy?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Chester Gould. - It's Chester Gould.- Yep.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Yeah, it's Chester Gould, one of the famous American comic strips.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Started a long time ago.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13I'm wishing you had the pasta question,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- cos I think you would've got that wrong.- Oh, no, we wouldn't.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- We would've debated that.- OK.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19I'm clutching at straws here.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Chester Gould is the right answer. We say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23You have won.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29When there's all five of them,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33they have a sort of check and counterbalance system, and it's hard.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35You do riot sometimes over an answer, don't you?
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Somebody says something and they get shouted down.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40But it didn't happen today.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Even on the pasta, you would've got that.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Sorry, Matt. But you played well, and great team to meet,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- and to tell us all about clag. Thank you as well.- You're welcome.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Clag Grandmasters, you have been beaten by the Eggheads,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54who have done what comes increasingly naturally to you,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56reigning supreme, winning on the trot.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58It's what it's all about.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00It does mean our Challengers don't go home with the £5,000,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02so we roll the money over to our next show.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Eggheads, well done. I'm starting to think it's going to be a long time
0:28:05 > 0:28:09before you get beaten. Join us next time to see if a new team of
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Challengers have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13There will be 6,000 to play for.
