0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18The question is
0:00:18 > 0:00:20can they be beaten?
0:00:22 > 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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- You feeling in tune today? - Absolutely.- Yes.- Yes.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Cos these Challengers definitely are.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Because taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:39 > 0:00:42are The Musicanos from London.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Now, the majority of this team met through working on various musical theatre productions together,
0:00:46 > 0:00:51with two of them even finding romance during a tour of Dr Doolittle.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Everyone go, "Ooh."
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Ooh.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Let's meet them.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, my name's Richard and I'm a trombonist.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hello, my name is Debra and I'm a freelance entertainer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hello, my name is Martin.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04And I'm a luthier.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Hello, my name is Graham and I'm a saxophonist.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hello, I'm Ian and I am a theatre musical director.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- So, Richard and team, hello. ALL:- Hello, Jeremy.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Great to see you. I've got to ask first of all,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17which two found romance? I wouldn't know where to start.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18So who...?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Myself and Debbie here.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23OK. Yourself and Debbie. That's great. So, Musicanos.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Tell us what form of music has brought you together?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Musical theatre has brought us all together.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I met Debs doing a tour, obviously.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36I've worked with Graham on various different tours.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Worked with Ian on many shows.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And I know Martin through Debs,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and through the music base as well.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46So, that's the link. I'm the link between everybody.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47But we all have worked together.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Brilliant. So, you perform and I know Martin,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51you actually make instruments, is that right?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- I do, yes.- Which we'll hear about a bit later on.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57A very, very exciting team we've got here. Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Everyday, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:00 > 0:02:01for our Challengers.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Now, Musicanos, the Eggheads are on a roll.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10They've just won the last six games.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12There's £7,000 to play for today.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Nice, very nice.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So, it's worth turning up for and I think it's about time you stop them.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So, it's going to be one of you against either Dave,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Pat, Beth, Kevin or Judith. You can choose.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Right, well, let's mediate.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Well, I think it's going to be you and Beth, I guess.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- We already plotted this one. - We already plotted that one.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33OK, good. Strategy we like.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Now, erm, to choose...
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Who do you reckon we're going to go for?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Who is weak on Film & TV?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- I don't know.- What about Beth? Go for Beth.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43- Beth.- Beth.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I'm loving the strategy here.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I can tell there's a plan. - There is another strategy.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49More than one, yeah.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53All right, Debra from The Musicanos is going to open things up by
0:02:53 > 0:02:55taking on Beth from the Eggheads.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Please go to our legendary Question Room now.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Well, good luck in this round.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Film & TV, Debra against Beth.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05I will go first.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10OK.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12That sounded enthusiastic and that's good.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Here is your first question. In 2017,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding were announced as the new hosts
0:03:19 > 0:03:20of which TV show?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Is this...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Well, it's, erm...
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Definitely not two of them.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Of course. I'm going to go,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35because I think it is...
0:03:35 > 0:03:39The Great British Bake Off.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Yes, you're right. The Great British Bake Off.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42OK, Beth, your question.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Which actress born in Hawaii in 1967 starred in
0:03:46 > 0:03:50the films Paddington, Australia and The Golden Compass?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Well, famously this is a...
0:03:57 > 0:04:00She's mostly known for being an Australian actress.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03But Nicole Kidman was in fact born in Hawaii.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Nicole Kidman was born in Hawaii and is in those films.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You're quite right. Back to you, Debra.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Which of these is the title of a 2017 comedy series
0:04:12 > 0:04:14starring Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Debra, is this...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Oh, that's really nasty
0:04:22 > 0:04:24cos I know it's The Trip.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25DEBRA LAUGHS
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Which one is it?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29So, did you say 2017?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- 2017.- 2017.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It's going to have to be a guess.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36And...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'm going to go Spain.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Let's see if your team-mates know.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43- Is it Spain? - Well, we think so, yeah.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Yeah, they like that. And they're right. It's correct. Trip To Spain.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Well done. That's good.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Gosh!- OK, Beth, the actor Todd Carty,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55who played Mark Fowler in EastEnders,
0:04:55 > 0:05:00first found fame as Tucker Jenkins in which children's drama series?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Was it...
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Well, he was in it before I was watching it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11And I was quite a fan of this when it was in my day,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13though he was before my day.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- And he was in Grange Hill. - He was, indeed, in Grange Hill.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18All right, so where are we? 2-2.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20This is good, Debra, so far.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Not got a question wrong. Get this right, put some pressure on.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Jason Momoa plays which superhero
0:05:27 > 0:05:30in a brief cameo role in the 2016 film
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Is it...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I don't know if I saw this.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I'm going... It's going to be a guess.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'm going to go for Aquaman.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48And what's just on the basis it begins with A?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Or what? What is your... Now, give me your insight.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52How do you do that? Cos it's right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Oh, good! Oh, no.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I'm getting my super...
0:05:58 > 0:05:59I get my superheroes mixed up.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02But I absolutely have a big beef with the film, I think.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04And I know there's an underwater scene.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06But, that might not have anything to do with it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Right? OK, well, impressive. Well done. Three out of three for you.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10OK, Beth.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12You need to get this right to stay in.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar for his role in which of these films?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Oh, well he's certainly in all of them.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26My original thought...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28My original thought when you asked the question
0:06:28 > 0:06:30was he won it for Tootsie.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35No, I'm going to go with my first thought.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Because if I don't, I'll regret it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Tootsie. - OK. Tootsie, a great film.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43No question. Is it the right answer?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Do you know this one, Debra?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46I'm not sure.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47I really am not sure.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Because I know Rain Man, he was brilliant in,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Tootsie I know I think, erm...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54It was the supporting actress I know who...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I can't think of her name now.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57The beautiful one with the long legs.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Yeah.- Who got a supporting actress.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Or is it Jessica Lange got the supporting actress?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Oh, well, let's just check.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Who wants to give us the readout here?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Kevin?- Yeah, well that's right about Jessica Lange.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10So, Jessica Lange won an Oscar for Tootsie but not...?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Best supporting actress, yeah. - But not Dustin Hoffman?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- No.- No, he won best actor for Rain Man.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15He won best actor for Rain Man.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Oh!- You've been knocked out, Beth.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19So, Debra well done. You're in the final round.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22There we go!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- My word.- That's how you do it, there we are.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- We're on track to win £7,000. - Fantastic!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Come back to us, please, both of you. We'll play on.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32OK, exciting stuff.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36As it stands, The Musicanos have not lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37The Eggheads have lost one.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39The next subject is Science.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Now, musicians, is that tricky?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Not a great combination.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Martin? What do you reckon?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Martin or...- I'm no good.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Martin, do you want to take Science?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- I'll take it.- Yeah, Martin will be our representative for Science.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Our luthier. Against anyone but Beth, who would you like?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Well, I think I would like to take on Dave.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Wow!- Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06All right. Martin from The Musicanos
0:08:06 > 0:08:09to take on Dave from the Eggheads on Science.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Let's see if the Challengers can make it two.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Well, Martin, I feel bad. I feel we should have got you on music
0:08:17 > 0:08:19cos you are a luthier.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Indeed.- Which means you make just lutes or guitars? Or...
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I concentrate on guitars,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27although it's any stringed instrument.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Wonderful. OK, Martin.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Science. Do you want to go first, or second?
0:08:31 > 0:08:32I'd like to go first, please.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Here we go. Which of these is another name
0:08:37 > 0:08:39for the African aardvark?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Ah! I'm pretty sure it's not a skunk bear.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Erm...
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Definitely an ant bear.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Yes, ant bear is correct. Well done.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Dave, olfaction is another name for which of the senses?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I get these wrong all the time!
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Oh, no!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07That's terrible!
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I'm going to have to go with what my first instinct was, because I really
0:09:12 > 0:09:13wasn't expecting this, with smell.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16But I've got no... I can get this wrong.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Smell is the right answer.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19DAVE CHUCKLES
0:09:19 > 0:09:21OK, Martin. In 1911,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Marie Curie won a Nobel Prize in which category,
0:09:25 > 0:09:30having already won the Nobel Physics prize in 1903?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I don't think it's peace.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40And I don't think they had a use for radium in medicine.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42So, I would say chemistry.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Chemistry's correct.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46That's good, well done.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Not easy. OK, Dave they're playing well, aren't they?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Playing very well.- Dave, which species of dinosaur,
0:09:51 > 0:09:56whose name means great lizard, was the first non-avian dinosaur
0:09:56 > 0:09:59to be named by the Reverend William Buckland
0:09:59 > 0:10:01in the 1820s?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Well, great. I would've gone with mega.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I'm not very good with me dinosaurs
0:10:12 > 0:10:14but I'm going to go Megalosaurus, please.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Megalosaurus...
0:10:16 > 0:10:18is the correct answer.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Your question, Martin.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Which German-born rocket scientist was the first president
0:10:23 > 0:10:27of America's National Space Association in 1974?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Is it...
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Well, I've only heard of one of them and he's a famous rocketeer.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37So, it's not Dieter Grau.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38It's not Walter Jacobi.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I'll go for Wernher von Braun.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43And Wernher von Braun is quite right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46There's something interesting...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49This guy's a mine of quiz information.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Wernher von Braun. Pat, you got anything on him?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Well, he was a key man in German rocketry
0:10:55 > 0:11:00during World War II with the V1...the V2.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04And after the war, the Americans made a great effort to scoop up
0:11:04 > 0:11:06as many of these rocket scientists.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08And they brought them to America.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13And over the years, that became part of the core of America's space effort.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- Amazing. All right, Dave. Here we are again.- Yep.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- They're playing very, very well. - Playing brilliantly.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22And if you get this wrong, you're going to be out as well with Beth.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Here we go. What is the chemical symbol for rubidium?
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Dave, is it...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31All right, I thought Ru was ruthenium.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I could be wrong.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Yeah, I'm going to go Rb.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Again, no certainty at all.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Rb is rubidium, Dave.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well done. Saved yourself.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Three questions each, we've had. Scores are level.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Challengers haven't got one wrong yet.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Martin, we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- He gets a bit harder.- I don't give you alternative answers.- OK.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57Leo Baekeland, who invented the form of plastic called Bakelite,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59was born which country?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00His name is spelled like this.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Leo and then B-A-E-K-E-L-A-N-D.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Well, it's one of the low countries
0:12:08 > 0:12:09from the name.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I would guess it would be Belgium.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Belgium is correct.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20He's another one who went to the USA.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Dave.- Yeah.- Feeling the pressure here.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Yeah, very much so.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Autotomy is the name for the ability some creatures have
0:12:28 > 0:12:33to shed or discard what, often as a defensive tactic?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35What's the spelling, please?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38A-U-T-O-T-O-M-Y.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40It's either skin or feathers.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43It's a 50-50 day today for me.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Erm...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I'm going to go skin and fall on my sword.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Yep, you've fallen on your sword, cos it's limbs.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- All right, fair enough.- It's more dramatic - legs, arms, tails, claws,
0:12:54 > 0:12:55all of that stuff.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Dave, you've been knocked out. Well done, Martin.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Our luthier is in the final! - Well done.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03It's looking interesting, this contest, isn't it?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06So, the Eggheads in a little existential crisis.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Do return to us. Rejoin your teams, and we'll play Round Three.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13As it stands, The Musicanos have not lost any brains
0:13:13 > 0:13:15from the final round. You're doing really well here.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Keep the pressure on.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19You've got to dislodge some of the others, as well.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23The Eggheads have lost two brains and they are quietly panicking.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25The next subject is Arts & Books.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Oh, no!- That's going to be great for you, isn't it?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Martin is gone!
0:13:30 > 0:13:31I think that was me, as well, wasn't it?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Music is art.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Graham? Can you...?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Not me, please.- Graham? - I think it's got to...- Yeah.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- It was my spare, wasn't it? - Yeah.- We're going to go with Graham.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- All right.- We're going to take Graham for that one.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44A saxophonist against...?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And you can have Pat, or Kevin, or Judith.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Pat, please, Jeremy.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51OK. Graham from The Musicanos
0:13:51 > 0:13:54trying to take out Pat, known as The Shark.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Graham, Arts & Books against the great Pat.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Would you like to go first, or second?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I'd like to go first, please.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09And here we go.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Which writer created the children's characters Noddy and Big-Ears?
0:14:18 > 0:14:24I'm thinking that Beatrix Potter was more animals with her characters.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27I don't think it was Roald Dahl
0:14:27 > 0:14:30because he was Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31So, I'm going to go for Enid Blyton.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Enid Blyton's right.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I know it can be sort of panic inducing to be in that room,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37so, I understand your caution.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Pat, your question.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Bob Cratchit is a character in which work by Charles Dickens?
0:14:47 > 0:14:52I think I know all the Dickens books are packed with
0:14:52 > 0:14:54legions of characters.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I think Bob pops up in A Christmas Carol.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00A Christmas Carol is correct.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Graham, your second question.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Which poet wrote the following lines,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06"You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
0:15:06 > 0:15:09"Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12"Sneak home and pray you'll never know
0:15:12 > 0:15:15"The hell where youth and laughter go."
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Who wrote that?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Oh, that's taking me back to my school days here.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Erm...
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I'm being drawn to Wilfred Owen.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30So, Wilfred Owen.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Wilfred Owen is wrong.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- OK.- Siegfried Sassoon is the answer.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39All right, Pat. Your question to take the lead.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Who's the central character of the novel Colonel Sun
0:15:41 > 0:15:45written by Kingsley Amis and published in 1968
0:15:45 > 0:15:48under the pseudonym Robert Markham?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'm thinking Kingsley Amis is one of several authors
0:15:56 > 0:15:59who have written Bond stories.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03So, I think it's James Bond.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Yes, it is James Bond.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07So, Pat is in the lead here.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And it means, Graham, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14The artist Victor Pasmore was a pioneer of what sort of art
0:16:14 > 0:16:17in Britain in the 1940s and 1950s?
0:16:23 > 0:16:24So, post-war...
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I am going to go for...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Symbolism.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Is that right, Pat?
0:16:37 > 0:16:38I've heard of Pasmore.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I wouldn't be confident. I would have gone for abstract art.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43But, I wouldn't be confident.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Abstract art is the answer.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Sorry, Graham, knocked out by Pat,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49who's a fearsome quizzer.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50And Pat will be in the final round.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52So, one more round to play before the final.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Please return to us and we'll play it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Could be a crucial moment in the contest, this.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01The Musicanos have lost a brain now from the final round.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02The Eggheads have lost two.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The next subject is History.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07So, Richard and team.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Who's it going to be? Ian or Richard?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10What do you reckon, Ian?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- You're captain, mate.- Could you go up for the team for this one?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Yeah.- Take one for the team? - Yeah.- OK.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16I nominate Ian for the team.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I feel you should have had music in here, it's just so random.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22So random. So, against which Egghead?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25And you've got left Kevin and Judith on the end.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I'm going to challenge Judith, please.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31OK. Ian from The Musicanos plays Judith from the Eggheads.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Last round before the final. Please take your positions.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38So, Ian, musical theatre is your thing?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40That's right, Jeremy.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43And I know you've been nominated for two Olivier awards.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Yep, two nominations
0:17:45 > 0:17:46but, sadly, no wins yet.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48For which particular works?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52The first one was a Ska musical about ten years ago
0:17:52 > 0:17:53called The Big Life.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57And we were nominated, unfortunately, against a musical
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- you might have heard of, Billy Elliot.- OK.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Which seemed to pip us at the post.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- But...- Yeah.- It was a great, great musical.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Definitely the best experience of my life.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10And you and I have met a few times because you are very good friends
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- with my cousin.- I am, indeed.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Seeing you, I didn't know you were coming in,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16so I thought, "Oh, wow!"
0:18:16 > 0:18:19So, he'll doubtless be watching and cheering you on.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- He will, I hope. I hope he will. - Good stuff. Against Judith.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23And here we are on History.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I know it's not your first choice of subject, Ian.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Would you like to go first, or second?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It certainly is not my first choice of subject.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I will go first, though, please.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Here we are.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Which of these historical figures was born first, Ian?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Unfortunately,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I don't know much about Mao Zedong.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I'm going to go for Ivan the Terrible.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59I'm so glad you did, you're right. Well done. All right.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Judith. Which of these people died
0:19:01 > 0:19:03of typhoid in 1861?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well, not Rasputin because he was shot about nine times
0:19:11 > 0:19:13before he died, didn't he?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It was Prince Albert.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17And Victoria blamed
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Edward forever after for giving it to him.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Prince Albert is right. And she mourned him, didn't she?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Forever, yes. - Albert Memorial and all that?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Yes, and wearing black until the day she died.- Yeah.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31OK, your question Ian.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Who was the prime minister of Prussia when that country defeated
0:19:34 > 0:19:38France in the war of 1870-71?
0:19:44 > 0:19:48I'm pretty sure it's not Otto Von Bismarck.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Oh, this is...
0:19:51 > 0:19:52This is really hard.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55I'm going to plump for Wilhelm Marx.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Ian, sorry. That was wrong.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00It's Otto Von Bismarck.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Judith, a chance for you to take the lead.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06The Abraham Lincoln Brigade was a force of international volunteers
0:20:06 > 0:20:10who participated in which 20th century war?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Well, the Spanish Civil War was famous for having volunteers.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I mean, otherwise it was non-volunteers who were made
0:20:23 > 0:20:25to fight in World War I, Vietnam.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28So, I think I'll plump for Spanish Civil War.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30You've got it right. Well done.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Yeah, it's the international volunteers bit
0:20:33 > 0:20:34I think led you there.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Yeah.- Rightly so. OK, Ian.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38You need to get this right to stay in.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Keep the stress low.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48was first cousins with which British monarch?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57This is pretty relevant to my life, actually.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59It's connected with a musical.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I'm going to go with George V.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04How is it connected with a musical? You've got to tell us.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I'm writing a musical about this period in history.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Really?- I am, indeed.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11George V is quite right.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Well done, Ian.- Thank you.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15It always helps to have written a musical on the answer.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17LAUGHTER
0:21:17 > 0:21:18It does definitely help!
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Judith, you've still got the advantage here
0:21:20 > 0:21:21if you get this right.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Penda and Wulfhere
0:21:23 > 0:21:27were both rulers of which Anglo-Saxon kingdom?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Oh, I'm not sure.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I don't think it's Northumbria.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40But I'm just not sure about whether Mercia was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42or only Wessex.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I think I'm going to say Mercia.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Mercia is right, Judith.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Is it?- You did it.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51- Sorry, Ian.- A sort of instinct somewhere.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'm sorry!
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I didn't think you were going to go near that one.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Well, I'm just not sure...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Wasn't sure whether it was Anglo-Saxon, or not.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Yup, well, it is. It was. - Luckily, it was.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And it always will be. Judith, you're in the final round.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Sorry, Ian, knocked out, but a stout performance there.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- Solid.- Thank you.- And come back to us, both of you.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14We're going to play the final round for £7,000.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17All right, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads are not allowed
0:22:23 > 0:22:25to take part in this round.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27So, Graham and Ian from The Musicanos
0:22:27 > 0:22:31and Dave and Beth from the Eggheads, who staged this comeback,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37All right, Richard, Debra, Martin.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40You're playing to win The Musicanos £7,000.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Surreally. - Pat, Kevin and Judith,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47which is just to shore up the Eggheads' reputation,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50keep the run going, turn it into a roll, maybe.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54This time, they are all General Knowledge.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56You may confer.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59So, Challengers, the question is can your three brains defeat those three
0:22:59 > 0:23:01over there? Simple as that.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Would you like to go first or second, Richard?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Here we go with your first question.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12What is the official language of Austria?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- I don't think it's a trick question. - No, it has to be German, hasn't it?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19It has to be German.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Definitely German. I think there's no trick question there.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Are you happy with that, Martin?- Definitely.- I am.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Are you happy with that, Debra?- Yes.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29We're going to go, Jeremy, with German.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32German is correct. Well done.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Not a trick question. No trick questions here.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Your question, Eggheads.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Which American celebrity was robbed of an estimated £8 million
0:23:41 > 0:23:45in jewellery by armed thieves in a Paris apartment in 2016?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55That was Kim Kardashian.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Kim Kardashian is correct.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59OK, Challengers.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02In 2017, Edward Enninful
0:24:02 > 0:24:06became the first-ever male editor of which magazine?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I would have said that is not a British name.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Right.- More likely to be...
0:24:17 > 0:24:19American.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21So, I wouldn't go for British Vogue.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22- No...- On that basis.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24So, you'd be looking at Tatler for that one?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26It's a guess.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Yeah, mine's between Town and country and Tatler
0:24:30 > 0:24:33but, I think, probably Tatler.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Or was there ever... Has there ever had been female, though?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I don't know.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Do you want to go for Tatler, then. - Shall we go for Tatler, then?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- It's a punt?- Punt.- OK, Jeremy,
0:24:42 > 0:24:43we're going to go with Tatler.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47All right. The keyword here is male.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50So, we're looking for a magazine that's only ever had female editors
0:24:50 > 0:24:51and Tatler is a fashion magazine,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- we could have...- No, it's a sort of social magazine.- Social. Is it...
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Would it have been all-female editors? Or would it...?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- No, no. - I think it's probably had...
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Geordie Greig, or whatever he's called.- Geordie Greig was Tatler?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05OK. So this person would not have been the first-ever male
0:25:05 > 0:25:06editor, whoever Edward Enninful is.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09The answer is, and the reason it was a news story,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11is that it's British Vogue,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13which has always had females.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yes. Alexandra Shulman was the last one.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18British Vogue was the answer.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21OK, Eggheads. Your question to take the lead.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Which Greek god had a statue at Olympia
0:25:23 > 0:25:26which was one of the Seven Wonders Of The Ancient World?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Was it...
0:25:31 > 0:25:32It's Zeus.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Yeah.- Yeah.- The oldest statue of Zeus at Olympia.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Yeah, the statue of Zeus at Olympia.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Zeus.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Zeus is correct.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Now, they've pulled ahead. That's worrying.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47You've got to get this one right, Challengers.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49What is the real first name of the American model known
0:25:49 > 0:25:51as Gigi Hadid?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Gigi Hadid...
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Gigi Hadid.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Could you spell her second name for me?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Yeah, well it's - Gigi is G-I-G-I.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Yeah.- And then Hadid, as you'd expect, is H-A-D-I-D.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I must confess my ignorance.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- I know, even I... - I've never heard of her.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13She goes out with Zayn from One Direction.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18So, Hadid I think is Iranian.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Or, it's Middle Eastern.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Yeah, what do you reckon on that then, there?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- I have...- It won't be Laura.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- It won't be Laura. - Gigi sounds like...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Well, it's probably Jelena rather than...
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- I would have said Zara. - Or is it Gigi as in Zara?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Zsa Zsa Gabor. Zara.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Jelena?- Should we go with Jelena? Yes.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38A bit of an educated guess.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Martin?- It's a nice name, but I...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Jeremy, we're going to go with Jelena.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Jelena, let's see if you are right.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Eggheads, do you know this?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48No, I would have...
0:26:48 > 0:26:49- Well?- I don't know.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I would have probably gone for Zara
0:26:51 > 0:26:54on the basis that Hadid is an Arabic sounding name.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56And Zara perhaps fits more...
0:26:56 > 0:26:58But Jelena is a sort of Balkan name.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00But, then again, it could be if she's Bosnian.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01If it's of Bosnian descent.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Jelena is the right answer.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Yes!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It's a shame you didn't send them that question on their side.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11You might have had a bit of a lively contest here.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13I think we might have... It just suddenly occurred to me,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16if it's of Bosnian origin...
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Yeah.- Then Jelena is a Balkan name, is more...
0:27:18 > 0:27:21So, you know, we'd have had the discussion.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22OK, Eggheads.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25You have a chance to take the contest on this question.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29The American Edward Weston, born in 1886,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33was a celebrated 20th-century figure in which art form?
0:27:36 > 0:27:37- Photography.- Is it?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Is it photography? - I don't know.- Yeah, definitely.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- OK.- He was a famous photographer, Jeremy.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45So, photography.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48The correct answer is photography.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50We say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:50 > 0:27:51you have won!
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Oh...
0:27:56 > 0:27:59You see, you just ripped into them at the start there.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- And then they gathered. - They gathered.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Quality came through in the end.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Yeah... Absolutely. Bravo.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06It's hard with these three here
0:28:06 > 0:28:08to get past them, I must say.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Commiserations, Musicanos.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- You've seen what they're made of today.- Yep.- Very much so.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16The Eggheads, well done. You fought back and you've continued your winning streak,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18which is now officially impressive.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I'm afraid it means that you won't be going home with the £7,000.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23So, the money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Eggheads, well done.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Looking pretty unbeatable at the moment.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28But a few scary moments there, weren't there?
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Yeah, definitely.- Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:33can take them down.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35And there'll be £8,000 to play for.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Until we meet again, goodbye.
