0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Taking on our awesome quiz champions today are the Holiday Quizzers.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, this friends and family team
0:00:38 > 0:00:41from across the country have been going on holiday together
0:00:41 > 0:00:44for over 20 years and one of their main activities
0:00:44 > 0:00:45whilst away is quizzing.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Karen and I work in nuclear safety.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hi, I'm Lee, I'm a safety adviser.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Kath and I'm a retired social worker.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Rachel and I'm an environmental scientist.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Frances, I'm an office manager and trading coordinator.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04So, Karen and team, hello.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- ALL:- Hello. - Welcome. And it's holiday that brings you together?
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Absolutely, yes.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Tell us about where you go, Karen.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Every year we go to Mill Rythe Holiday Centre,
0:01:13 > 0:01:17which is on Hayling Island on the south coast of England.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Right. And how did you discover it, then, Karen? Just by chance?
0:01:21 > 0:01:23It was a mutual friend that discovered it
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and started booking up for us
0:01:25 > 0:01:27and, over the years,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31we've had so much fun that we've brought more and more people.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32So we'd go home and we talk about
0:01:32 > 0:01:34what a great time we'd had on holiday
0:01:34 > 0:01:37and then people say, "Oh, that sounds really good,"
0:01:37 > 0:01:40so we'd say, "Feel free to come if you want."
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So over the years we've had probably about 100 people come.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Brilliant. I'm actually quite tempted.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Well, you're very welcome. - I think I might become 101.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And there is quizzing as part of this?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yes, absolutely.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I would say two or three times a day, sometimes.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Really?- So the centre where we stay hold quizzes
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and we give it a go.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05All right. Well, perfect.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Perfect preparation.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Good luck, Challengers.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:10 > 0:02:13for our challenging team. If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17So, wonderful Holiday Quizzers,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I can tell you that the Eggheads are on a roll now.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22They've won the last eight games so you've got to stop them.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26And if you do, you'll win £9,000.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27OK, the first head-to-head battle
0:02:27 > 0:02:29is on the subject of Arts & Books.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32So it's one of you against either Dave, Beth,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Barry, Pat or Chris.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- I don't think there's any real doubt here, is there?- I don't think so.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Shall I play Chris, then? - Definitely, Kath. Yup.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- And you think... - I think we'll play...
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'm just wondering, if music comes up,
0:02:45 > 0:02:50whether I would pit him against Rachel.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I would choose anybody but Chris for that reason.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55He's the only one that I would think might have
0:02:55 > 0:02:58a little, tiny, little bit of weakness against somebody young.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02So anyone but Chris. OK, that's interesting.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04That's interesting.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07So you've got Dave, Beth, Barry and Pat.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- I'll go with Beth. - Yes, we'll go with Beth.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11All right. Brilliant. I love the strategy.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I can see they've planned it out.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15So, Kath from the Holiday Quizzers,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18taking on Beth from the Eggheads on Arts & Books.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21And to ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Arts & Books, Kath. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34OK, here we go.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39"Thud!" and Unseen Academicals are novels in which series of books?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I'm certain it's not Harry Potter.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50I'm not absolutely certain between the other two.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I think I'm going to go for Discworld.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56You're absolutely right, yes. Now, Discworld...
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Challengers, who wrote Discworld?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Terry Pratchett. - Terry Pratchett, that's right.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02OK, Beth, in CS Lewis's
0:04:02 > 0:04:05The Lion, The Witch And The wardrobe,
0:04:05 > 0:04:09the character Mr Tumnus is half human and half what creature?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Mr Tumnus is a fawn, so that would make him half man, half goat.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Goat is correct, yeah.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Back to you, Kath.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Piggy is the name of one of the main characters in
0:04:23 > 0:04:25which of these famous novels?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35I've actually read all these, but very many years ago!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37But I don't think it's The Grapes of Wrath.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41I'm pretty sure it's Lord Of The Flies.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Lord Of The Flies is right.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Lord Of The Flies. OK, Beth, your question to catch up.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50In the 1945 novel, Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh,
0:04:50 > 0:04:51what is Aloysius?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57It's not actually a novel I've read,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59but I do think Aloysius was a teddy bear.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Yes, Aloysius was a teddy bear.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Well done. Two points each.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05And, Kath, we go back to you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07The 2006 novel The Road,
0:05:07 > 0:05:12telling of a father and son's struggles in a post-apocalyptic USA
0:05:12 > 0:05:14was written by which American author?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I haven't actually read this, but I think I know who wrote it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I don't think it is Jay McInerney
0:05:25 > 0:05:27or Bret Easton Ellis.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I think it's Cormac McCarthy.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30It is indeed Cormac McCarthy.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Well done.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35All right, over to you now, Beth.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39"Come what, come may, time and the hour runs
0:05:39 > 0:05:41"through the roughest day,"
0:05:41 > 0:05:43is a quotation from which Shakespearean play?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I gave up studying Shakespeare when I was 16.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55And I've only actually studied one of those plays at all,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59and that is Macbeth, and I can't remember it as a quote from that.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Doesn't sound... something like King Lear.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Let's go with As You Like It.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11As You Like It. I would have chosen that and, like you,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I know Macbeth best and I didn't recognise it,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16but it is from Macbeth.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Oh, is it?! Well, there you go.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19I know Shakespeare is not your thing.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- No.- But Macbeth is the answer, Beth.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Well done, Kath. You've done it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:243-2.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28That's a good start for our Challengers.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Return to us, please, and we'll play Round Two.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35As it stands, the Holiday Quizzers have not lost a brain.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- This is good.- Yes!- There is rejoicing on Hayling Island.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44The Eggheads have lost a brain, and the next subject is Geography.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45So who would like this?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Holiday Quizzers, Geography?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Do you want to do it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Do you want me to take it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52You've done a lot of travelling.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Yeah, but I'm not sure about too much.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Would you feel happy taking it? - I'll have a go at it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00You will be great, Frances.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- OK, Frances.- That's it, then.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Who do you want to take on?- Oh, yes.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Anyone but Beth? - They are all really good.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Shall I take Dave on?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Yeah.- OK.- Take Dave on?- Yeah.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Tremendous Knowledge. - I'm going to go for Dave.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Very good. So Frances from the Holiday Quizzers
0:07:16 > 0:07:18taking on Tremendous Knowledge Dave on Geography.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Is this good for you, Dave? - Well, I lost the last one.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- On Geography, did you?- Yeah. British Overseas Territories.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Oh, that's still hurting. - Oh, it hurts.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28We had a whole inquiry over that, didn't we?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I had a proper inquiry about it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I won't tell you my conclusion.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40So, Dave, the old British territories.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43To explain, Frances, it was Geography in another game
0:07:43 > 0:07:44where Dave got hit by this question -
0:07:44 > 0:07:47how many British Overseas Territories are as there?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48And we went astray, Dave, didn't we?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Went very astray, yeah. 30 out. I thought we had more.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Maybe it'll come up again and then you'll know all of them.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Yes, oh, don't you worry about that.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00So Geography, Frances. Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07And here is your question.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11The Tyrrhenian Sea is an arm of which other much larger sea?
0:08:15 > 0:08:20And I will spell it for you, T-Y-R-R-H-E-N-I-A-N.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Right, well, I definitely think it's not the Irish Sea.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I'm not quite sure,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30but I think I'm going to go for the Mediterranean Sea.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Mediterranean Sea is quite right.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Dave, over to you.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41The Promenade de la Croisette is a palm tree-lined avenue
0:08:41 > 0:08:43in which French city?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Right, I've been to Bordeaux and Cannes.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I'm going to rule out Roo-in. Rouen, sorry.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55It sounds more like Cannes,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58even though I didn't experience it myself,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00so I'm going to go Cannes, please.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Yes, Cannes is right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Well done. Frances, over to you.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Which of these cities is often said to have
0:09:07 > 0:09:10one of the largest natural harbours in the world?
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Right, well, I've been to Los Angeles, but I haven't actually...
0:09:18 > 0:09:23I didn't actually go near, very close to the coast in Los Angeles.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Sydney, does have a big harbour with the Opera House.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I think I'm going to go straight down the middle
0:09:32 > 0:09:34and I'm going to go with Sydney,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38thinking of the Opera House and everything else.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Understood. Yes, Sydney is the right answer.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Oh!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45OK, Dave, to catch up.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49The resort of Kavos, well-known for its clubbing atmosphere,
0:09:49 > 0:09:50is on which Greek island?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Kavos?- Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I'm not sure.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I'm going to rule out Lesbos
0:10:02 > 0:10:04and Zante,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08And I would've thought it's Corfu, but I haven't heard of it there,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10but I'll go Corfu.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Corfu is the right answer.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16OK, so it is your question now,
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Frances, at 2-2.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21The town of Monza, known for its motor racing track,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24lies nine miles north-east of which major Italian city?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Well, my family are really into Formula 1.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I know my son is going to kill me if I don't get this right,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35so there is even more pressure.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I don't think it's Genoa.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Don't think it is Turin, so I am going to go for Milan.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Milan is right.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46You're playing well.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49All right, Dave, your question to stay in.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53The High Tatras on the border between Poland and Slovakia
0:10:53 > 0:10:56are part of which larger mountain range?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03So Tatras is T-A-T-R-A-S. The High Tatras.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I don't think it is the Urals.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I don't think it is the Caucasus.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Carpathians came into my headfirst,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12but I'm just thinking very carefully
0:11:12 > 0:11:15not to try and make too much of a mistake.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Yeah, I've got to go Carpathians in this particular instance.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Carpathians is correct.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Dave, well done. So three questions each, the scores are level.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Both playing really well.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Have you Challengers got a question wrong yet?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I don't think you have.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Good team. OK, Frances, gets a bit harder now.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Goes to Sudden Death
0:11:35 > 0:11:37and I don't give you alternative options.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Roaring Water Bay and the Old Head of Kinsale
0:11:41 > 0:11:43are on the south coast of which country?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I really don't have much of an idea,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53but I'm going towards either Ireland or New Zealand,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56which is completely different ends of the world.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59I'm going to go for...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03..New Zealand.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I know that sounds strange, but it also has a bit of Scottish about it
0:12:06 > 0:12:08and I know a lot of Scottish people went to New Zealand.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11So I'm going to go for New Zealand.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Hopefully...
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Closer to home - Ireland.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Oh, no!- Sorry!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- It was a classic 50-50.- Oh!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21OK, Dave, you can take the round with this.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25San Salvador is the capital of which country?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I'm just making sure I've got everything right here.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31El Salvador.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33El Salvador is the right answer. Sorry, Frances.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Knocked out there on Roaring Water Bay.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37And Dave is in the final round.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39So Dave has levelled it up.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40- Well done, Dave.- Exciting, this.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Come back to us, both of you. We'll see what the next round brings.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46So it's been evened up now.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49The Holiday Quizzers have lost a brain from the final.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51The Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54And the next subject for you is Food & Drink.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Oh!
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Who would like this? - I think I'm going to go.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I should perhaps go as a sacrificial lamb here.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Doesn't come up as anybody's favourite, has it?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- No. Except Frances.- Except Frances.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Frances was our expert on Food & Drink.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- So...- I'll send my vibes through to you.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18You do that. Just think food, right.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- I think I'm going to take it. - OK, Karen. Against which Egghead?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24And it can be any of the three gentlemen on the right.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I would really like to play against Barry.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Yes!- It's the shirt.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Yeah, Barry's shirts...
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Amazing how many people want to play me because of the shirts.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Karen from the Holiday Quizzers, versus Barry from the Eggheads
0:13:37 > 0:13:39on Food & Drink.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40So, please go to our Question Room.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45All right, Food & Drink. So out of your comfort zone, I know, Karen.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48I'd like to go first, please.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57Good luck. Lambrusco is the name of a red grape variety
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and a type of wine from which country?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I am not a wine drinker.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08It doesn't sound French.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Don't think it sounds Greek.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So, just the name of it,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18I think I'm going to go for Italy.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Italy is quite right.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Well done.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Doing well on your Italy questions, Challengers.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Barry, Nigella Lawson won the British Book Award
0:14:28 > 0:14:33for Author Of The Year for her 2000 book, How To Be a Domestic what?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Well, in my mind she's all three,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41but she won the award for How To Be A Domestic Goddess.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Goddess is correct, Barry.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44I'm sure you've read it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46OK, Karen,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49which pasta, a thinner version of spaghetti,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52has a name from the Italian for "little worms"?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I'm not very good on my pasta.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00It doesn't seem to matter to me
0:15:00 > 0:15:02cos, at the end of the day, it is all the same stuff,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04it's just a different shape.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I think the penne pasta is that
0:15:09 > 0:15:12tube, a couple of inches long.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Is tagliatelle the ribbon one?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I think I am going to go with vermicelli.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Let's see if the Challengers know.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21- Do you know?- Yes.- Is she right?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Yes, you're right. Vermicelli it is.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Right, Barry,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30which of these drinks is flavoured
0:15:30 > 0:15:33with essence from the citrus bergamia?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Well, tequila is from the agave,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41so I don't think it's that. Sake is a rice wine.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45But Earl Grey tea is famously flavoured with Earl of Bergamot,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47so I guess that must be from the bergamia,
0:15:47 > 0:15:48so it is Earl Grey tea.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Very good, Barry, Earl Grey tea it is.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54OK, so third question for you, Karen. You're playing well.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56The Spanish paste called membrillo
0:15:56 > 0:15:59is made from which yellow-skinned fruit?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06That is M-E-M-B-R-I-L-L-O.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's not something I've heard of.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's going to be guava or quince.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I think I'm going to go for quince.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21No real reason.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I just think it's probably more likely.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25OK. Quince is the answer, well done.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Three out of three.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Barry, under pressure!
0:16:32 > 0:16:36The root vegetable and herb called maca that became popular for its
0:16:36 > 0:16:40perceived health effects is native to which major mountain chain?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Now, Barry, maca is spelt very simply, M-A-C-A, OK?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I can't think of any vegetables grown in the Alps
0:16:50 > 0:16:52that are renowned for health reasons.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Or the Himalayas for that reason.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57But the Andes certainly seem to grow a lot of vegetables
0:16:57 > 0:16:59and when I was in Peru, there were
0:16:59 > 0:17:02all sorts of different vegetables on display there that were
0:17:02 > 0:17:05promoting all sorts of different health reasons.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So on that basis alone I will go for the Andes.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Barry living up to his title.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11He has been to every answer.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Andes is the right answer, well done.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16It's impressive, actually.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18So, three each.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20There we are, level. And now it's Sudden Death again, Karen.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I don't give you alternatives, OK?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Here we go. What name, literally meaning green juice,
0:17:25 > 0:17:29is given to the liquid made from sour grapes, crab apples
0:17:29 > 0:17:31or other unripe and fruit
0:17:31 > 0:17:34that was used a great deal in medieval cookery?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I'm trying to think of...
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Green things usually start with...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45..V-E-R, don't they, ver-something?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Unless I'm completely imagining that.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49But...
0:17:49 > 0:17:52What green juice?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Can I think of anything that begins with ver-?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Vermouth? No, that's an alcohol.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I'm almost at the point of making things up.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Do I do that, shall I make something up that begins with ver-?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12No, I'm barking up the wrong tree.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Is it something else?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20No, there's nothing coming to me, sorry.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I'll have to pass, I think, yes.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Oh, you are going to be so cross with yourself.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Do you know here?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30You said it begins with ver- and it does begin with ver-.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- I was thinking juice. - Yes, verjuice.- Why did I not think?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Yes, that's so obvious, isn't it, afterwards?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I thought you were just going to go there.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39I mean, that is...
0:18:39 > 0:18:41But impressive, you got halfway there.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44All right, Barry, for the round.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47What word, starting with the letter F,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51refers both to a dish served on a bed of spinach
0:18:51 > 0:18:56and a biscuit consisting mainly of nuts and preserved fruit
0:18:56 > 0:18:58coated on one side with chocolate?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02The biscuit gave it to me straightaway
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and then I remembered that a dish served with spinach
0:19:05 > 0:19:06is a la Florentine.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09So the answer must be Florentine.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Florentine is the right answer, Barry.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13You've taken it on Food & Drink, well done. Sorry, Karen.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16But, you know, brilliant, brilliant play, I must say,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18given that it's not your subject.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19So, the Challengers have fallen behind.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21We've got one more round to play before the final.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Please return to us.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27So, as it stands, the Holiday Quizzers have lost two brains
0:19:27 > 0:19:30from the final round. The Eggheads have lost just the one.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32And the next subject for you is Sport.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I don't think there's any doubt here, is there?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- No doubt at all.- Lee?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42OK. Our safety adviser against... Who do you want to take on?
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Last round now.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Chris?- I think that is a good idea.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Yeah.- I am going to go for Chris.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49All right. Lee from the Holiday Quizzers
0:19:49 > 0:19:52trying to get Chris out from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Look how happy he is.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56He doesn't like it. He doesn't like Sport.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58"They don't like it up them, sir!"
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Well, you don't like it up you!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Please go to the Question Room now.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Well, Lee, you've got Chris on his favourite subject, Sport.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Do you want to go first or second?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Here we go.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20"Citius, Altius, Fortius", meaning "faster, higher, stronger",
0:20:20 > 0:20:23is the motto of which international sporting event?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30OK. I'm pretty confident it's not the football World Cup.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34I can't really see the connection to the Tour de France either.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36So I think, given the variety of sports involved,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38it's probably the Olympic Games.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Olympic Games is quite right. Well done.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Chris, in which year
0:20:43 > 0:20:47was the two-time Olympic decathlon champion Daley Thompson born?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Well, he was active in the '80s, so that would put him born in 1958.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57'58 is quite right.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Lee, which of these
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Open Championship golf venues is located in England?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Right, I'm not really a big golfer.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Really not sure.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Carnoustie sounds Scottish, I think.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22So I'm trying to choose between Turnberry and Royal Birkdale.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I think I'll go Royal Birkdale.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Let's get some help on this.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Carnoustie Scottish?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Yes.- Turnberry?- Scottish.- Yes. - Scottish as well.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Yeah, Royal Birkdale is the answer, well done, Lee.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Chris, your question.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Which Premier League football club bought the Senegalese international
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Sadio Mane from Southampton for approximately £34 million in 2016?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Well, I'm not going to mention it in front of Dave,
0:21:52 > 0:21:53so it's not the one on the right.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Neither is it the one on the left.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I think it's your lot, Chelsea.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- My lot? No, I did not see a Mane play at Chelsea.- Did you not?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Liverpool is the place to find him.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06OK, you're ahead, Lee.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08This is good now, just get this one right, you're in the final.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Which country's men's cricket team
0:22:12 > 0:22:16defeated England 4-0 in a Test series in 2016?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23OK. I don't recall...
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I don't recall it, really.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Cricket's not my sport either.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Don't think it was Australia.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Don't think it's New Zealand either. I think I'll go for India.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39India. If you've got this right, you're in the final round.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- Eggheads?- Yes.- India is the right answer. Well done, Lee.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42You've done it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45No way back, Chris.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Sorry, it's Sport again.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50It's not a subject! It's just list learning and trivia!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52"It's not a subject," he says.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53OK. Good stuff.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54You've rattled them, Lee.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Come back to us. We'll play the final round for £9,000.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01So this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03It is time for the final round,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05which, is always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads are not allowed
0:23:08 > 0:23:10to take part in this round.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12So, from the Holiday Quizzers, it's Karen and Frances,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15and from the Eggheads, Beth and Chris.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Would you please leave the studio?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Lee, Kath and Rachel,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23you are playing to win the Holiday Quizzers £9,000.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Dave, Barry, Pat, you're playing for something that money cannot buy,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28which is to keep this run going.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33This time they're all General Knowledge
0:23:33 > 0:23:34and you are allowed to confer.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37So, Holiday Quizzers, the question is,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41can your three brains overwhelm these three over here?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44We'd like to go first, please.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49OK, Rachel and team, here we go.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Good luck. Who played Mr Bumble in the 1968 film musical Oliver?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- I was going to say that anyway, so shall we go for that?- Yeah.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03We think it's Harry Secombe.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Harry Secombe is quite right.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Well done. OK, Eggheads, your question.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12The volcano Popocatepetl is in which country?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Mexico.- Mexico, we're happy? - Definitely.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Not far from Mexico City.- That's it.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It's in Mexico.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Mexico is correct.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25OK, your question, Challengers.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29The word zombie was originally derived from a language
0:24:29 > 0:24:31native to which continent?
0:24:34 > 0:24:39Well, it comes from voodoo religion which comes from Africa.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42So I'd be fairly confident.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Has anyone got any other ideas? - No, we'll go with that, then.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49We're going to go for Africa, please.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Africa is quite right.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Well done! Right, Eggheads, your question to keep up.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Which Oscar-winning British actress played Evanora,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01the Wicked Witch of the East
0:25:01 > 0:25:05in the 2013 film Oz The Great And Powerful?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Hm. Oh.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- My first thought is Rachel Weisz.- OK.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15But is she outside the criteria?
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Has she an Oscar?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Yes. For the John Le Carre one.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- The Constant Gardener. - Yeah. She is an Oscar winner.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- They've all got Oscars. - They've all got Oscars.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26But Rachel Weisz is an Oscar winner.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I'm just a little uncertain, but of those three I would say it's
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- definitely Rachel Weisz. - OK, that's the only thing we've got.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33And she has won an Oscar.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Definitely has an Oscar? - I can confirm that.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36And she's definitely British.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Yeah, she is British, yeah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40OK, we think that might be Rachel Weisz.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Rachel Weisz is the right answer. Well done.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46What a shame!
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I thought they were just going to go astray there.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51OK, third question to you.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Which state, nicknamed the First State,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57was the first of the 13 original states
0:25:57 > 0:25:59to ratify the US Constitution?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I'm thinking it might be Virginia
0:26:05 > 0:26:10just because I think that was one of the early states that the settlers
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- went out to.- That came into my head but I don't know why.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14After Queen Elizabeth I.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Do you think we should just go with what two of us...?- I think so.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21We haven't got any other way of saying, have we?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- OK. Yeah?- Yeah.- All right.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30We are going to make a bit of a guess at Virginia.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33OK. Virginia is your answer for three in a row.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Let's see, this is the sort of thing the Eggs like.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38They're all East Coast.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Go on, Eggheads.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40- ALL:- Delaware.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Delaware is the answer.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44So, two out of three.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Maybe enough to get you to Sudden Death,
0:26:46 > 0:26:47but the Eggheads could end it here.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49£9,000 we're playing for.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Eggheads, your question. Who was the first director-general of MI5
0:26:53 > 0:26:57to be identified publicly while still in the job?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- I thought it was Rimington. - Stella Rimington.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- While in the job?- Yeah.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06But I could be wrong.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08But she was high profile, wasn't she?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I've not heard of either of the other two names.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Stella Rimington was such high profile.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14It just has to be her.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- I'm sure.- That's what I'd go with.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17But as I said, if we can just
0:27:17 > 0:27:19rule out that we haven't heard
0:27:19 > 0:27:22of either of those two names.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Andrew Parker is after her.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26After her, right.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I'm not sure what to do with Vernon Kell.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29You think Stella...?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I would have gone Stella.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36We're not certain, but we're going to go for Stella Rimington.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Stella Rimington. If you've got this wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40If you've got it right,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44you've taken the contest and the £9,000 is snatched away.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47The correct answer is Stella Rimington.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won!
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Thanks for playing.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57- Hope you enjoyed it.- We did.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- We did, thank you.- And you did well.
0:27:59 > 0:28:033-3 in the final means, you know, it's in the air.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05So you could sense their nervousness over here.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07But commiserations, Holiday Quizzers,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them most of the time,
0:28:10 > 0:28:14this winning streak continues. I'm afraid it means that
0:28:14 > 0:28:16the Challengers don't go home with the £9,000.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19So we take that money, we keep it for the next show,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21we add £1,000 to it. Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Who is ever going to beat you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers can do it.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Hopefully I've just jinxed it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30And there will be £10,000 on the table.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I know you love it when there's a jackpot in five figures.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34And until we quiz again, goodbye.
