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 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against
0:00:27 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Looking brainy, I think, today.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Very kind.- Really - and bright shirts, as well.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, Barry has a little teaser for us,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41and we can think about it during the show. Barry.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43OK, my teaser is this...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45How to punish bad Daleks
0:00:45 > 0:00:49before many million earthlings truly see clearly
0:00:49 > 0:00:52is a mnemonic for remembering what order?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We'll find out the answer at the end of the show for you.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Now, challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:56 > 0:01:00are the Tasselled Wobbegongs from the south of England.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03The founding members of this team share a passion for scuba diving
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and they take their name from one of the creatures they love to see
0:01:06 > 0:01:09during their dives. Let's meet them.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hello, my name is Tricia and I'm a scientist working in the NHS.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hello, I'm Ian and I'm a performance manager.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hi, I'm Linda and I'm a freelance marketer.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Hi, I'm Ian and I'm a software engineer.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Hi, I'm Dave and I'm an IT consultant.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26So, Tricia and team, hello.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Hello, Jeremy.- Great to see you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31You must tell us first of all about this tasselled wobbegong.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32- Yes.- What that exactly is.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35It's an interesting creature. It's a type of shark, Jeremy.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39But it's a large, flat shark that lives at the very bottom of the sea.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It's very ornate, but you don't see it very often,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44because it kind of hides itself in the sand.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45And if you're diving,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48you sometimes see a pair of eyes, and then, when it's disturbed,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50it will ripple the edge of itself and you can see the rest of it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Beautiful creature. - It sounds exactly like Pat.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55LAUGHTER
0:01:56 > 0:01:58He is known... He is known as the shark,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01because he will sit there for hours and then suddenly eat someone.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04But presumably that doesn't happen with this shark,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- cos you enjoy seeing it? - We enjoy seeing it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- It's not dangerous? - No, not dangerous, but hopefully we can be threatening, too.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Yes, you can. So scuba diving has brought you together,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14and other things, and I know you quiz, as well.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Yes, we quiz, some of us are members of book groups together,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20some of us have connections through work, but the main reason why
0:02:20 > 0:02:22we met each other first was through scuba-diving.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24And you have been on University Challenge.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25- I have.- Now they immediately...
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Suddenly their antennae go up when you say that.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Do you want to say what your specialist subject was?- No.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32LAUGHTER No? OK, good. Tell us later on.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- We'll try and guess.- Part of the strategy, to keep it secret.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37All right. I think this is a good team here, Eggheads, I can sense it.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Good luck, challengers.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Release the sharks.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:43 > 0:02:45up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52So, Tasselled Wobbegongs, the Eggheads have won the last nine.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So they're in confident mood.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56And it means there's £10,000 to play for.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Do you want to try and win it? - Absolutely.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Good stuff. So, Tricia, team,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05And it's one of you against either Lisa, Beth,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Barry, Pat, or Chris.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Me?- We'd like it to be Linda. We'd like it to be Linda.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- But who?- Erm...
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Lisa, perhaps?
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Yes, I think that's a good decision.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17So we'd like to send Lisa against Linda.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19OK, I was thinking, you're the scientist, Tricia,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21you'll do Science. Obviously you've got something up...
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- I'm hoping I have another talent. - You may have another talent, that's interesting.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Linda from the Tasselled Wobbegongs
0:03:27 > 0:03:29to play Lisa from the Eggheads on Science.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37OK, Linda, are you a quizzer?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Erm, yes, I quiz once a week at our local pub
0:03:40 > 0:03:43in Stanford in the Vale, which is called the Horse & Jockey.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- So you enjoy it?- Yeah, very much. Particularly when we win.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49We've kind of combined with another team,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51and we've got a good hit rate of winning
0:03:51 > 0:03:52ever since we linked up with them.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54All right, Linda. Good luck against Lisa.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Would you like to go first or second on Science? - I'd like to go first, please.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03And here we go.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Linda what type of animal is the porpoise?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Ooh. Um...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I'm pretty sure it's not a fish,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17but is it a mammal or an amphibian? Erm...
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I have a feeling I've heard it lays eggs,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25which mammals don't normally do.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Erm... The thing is,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31the definition of an amphibian is it's something that can live on land
0:04:31 > 0:04:33and in water,
0:04:33 > 0:04:38but I think more of things like frogs and lizards, that amphibians,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42so I'm a bit confused about this one.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Um...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'm going to say that it's an amphibian,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50but not with any confidence.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54OK. I've got an intake of breath on your teammates.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- What do we think, teammates? - It's a mammal.- It's a mammal.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Oh.- But I think that is a hard question, actually,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01cos once you rule out fish...
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Tricky.- I think Linda's got herself a bit mixed up between porpoises
0:05:05 > 0:05:06and platypuses there.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Oh! Yes.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Tell us what a porpoise... I called it porpoise, but a por-pus...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15A por-pus is a little bit like a dolphin,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17except where a dolphin has got a more of
0:05:17 > 0:05:19a bottlenose, a por-pus is more sort of a rounded-snout job.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Yes, I got the same conclusion, I must say.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Don't worry, Linda. Plenty of time. - OK.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25OK, Lisa, your question.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29The metatarsal bones are found in which part of the human body?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Usually the footballers breaking the metatarsals, isn't it?
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Must be the feet.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Feet is correct.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Linda, in which year
0:05:40 > 0:05:45did CERN's Large Hadron Collider run its first test operation?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48And CERN is C-E-R-N, capital letters.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I'm pretty sure it wasn't 1998,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59it's a question of whether it's 2003 or 2008.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I am going to go for 2008, but again, not with any confidence.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05What do we think, challengers?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- I think that's probably right. - It's correct, well done.
0:06:08 > 0:06:092008. Well done. LINDA LAUGHS
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Lisa, who was the first woman to go into space?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I think they're all the first from their respective countries.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Erm...
0:06:26 > 0:06:27LISA SIGHS
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Just a bit concerned in case she's later than Sally Ride.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'm pretty sure Sharman's the latest.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35But I'll go with Valentina Tereshkova.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Yeah, let's check with the Eggheads, is that right?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39- Yes.- You like that.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44That first female cosmonaut is a real quizzy question, isn't it?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Yes.- Mm-hm.- OK.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48So, you need this one now, Linda.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- OK.- What is the approximate carbon content of anthracite?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I would expect it to be very high.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Erm, I'm ruling out 30%.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10But to be honest, I'm not really sure of the exact definition
0:07:10 > 0:07:12of anthracite. I think it's something to do with coal,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15but I don't really know.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16I'm going to go for 90%.
0:07:18 > 0:07:1990% is correct.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Oh, thank goodness.- It's all right, you're doing well!
0:07:22 > 0:07:26All right. Lisa, you can take the round with this one.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27If you don't, we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Which of these scientists was born first?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39It's one of the millions of times I wish I'd been born Kevin Ashman.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Erm...
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Now I think, of the three...
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Pascal is the latest.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53My inclination is Kepler.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I'm not completely sure why.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07So, rather than draw it out and stumble around in the dark,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I don't think I can pin it to anything better than that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13No, I don't think I can.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19I will go for Johannes Kepler, with very little to base it on.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Barry, you're smiling, it looks like good news.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22- Barry?- Yes, I like that very much.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25And just while we're on this, Johannes Kepler, what did he do?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29He continued the work of Tycho Brahe, and he came up with
0:08:29 > 0:08:33the three laws of planetary motion that describe,
0:08:33 > 0:08:35well, the orbits in the solar system.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38There we go. You got it right, Lisa. Johannes Kepler is the right answer.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Sorry, three out of three, Linda,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41it's hard to beat them when they do that.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43You've been knocked out, beaten by our Egghead.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- OK.- So Lisa will be in the final.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Please return to us, we'll play Round Two.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50So, the Tasselled Wobbegongs have lost one player
0:08:50 > 0:08:52from the final round.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54The Eggheads are all still there, all five of them.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57And the next subject in Round Two is Sport.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58- Who wants this?- Dave.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03OK, Dave, our IT consultant, against which Egghead?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04And it can't be Lisa?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Chris.- Er, Chris, please.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Gosh!- Another statistical anomaly.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11I hope you're listening upstairs!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13LAUGHTER
0:09:13 > 0:09:15He doesn't like his sport, you may have chosen well.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Dave from the Tasselled Wobbegongs trying to get Chris out on Sport.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Please go to our famous Question Room.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27All right, Sport, Dave, against Chris.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29You can see how pleased he is.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Would you like to go first or second?- I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Here we go.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined which Premier League football team
0:09:40 > 0:09:42in 2016? Is it...
0:09:45 > 0:09:47He famously said whichever team he went to,
0:09:47 > 0:09:48he would win a title with,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50and I don't know if the Europa League counts,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52but it's Manchester United.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I think it counts for them, doesn't it? There's no Dave today.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- I like this man.- Manchester United is quite right, well done.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00APPLAUSE
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Chris, which of these athletes won long-jump gold medals
0:10:04 > 0:10:06at four consecutive Olympic Games?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Well, Carl Lewis is a sprinter.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Donovan Bailey I've never heard of.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20But long jump I think is Maurice Greene.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Or Mo-rice Greene.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Mo-rice Greene?- Hmm.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27It's not Maurice Greene, Chris, I'm sorry to say.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Help us out. Anyone... Barry, do you know this? Or Beth?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- I can. Well, they're actually all sprinters.- Yeah.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36And they've all won championships in their time,
0:10:36 > 0:10:41but Carl Lewis was primarily a long-jumper over a sprinter.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Beth is saying Carl Lewis was primarily a long-jumper...
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- Was he?- ..more than a sprinter.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Oh, OK.- Carl Lewis is the answer.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49OK, started well, Dave.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Playing brilliantly. Here's your second question.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55James Haskell usually plays in which position for the England rugby union team?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01He's a back-row player, so he'd be a flanker.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Flanker's right.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Chris, you need this one.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10The German Andre Greipel, born in 1982,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12is a leading competitor in which sport?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I don't think he's ever made a Wimbledon,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20so I don't think it's tennis.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Athletics or cycling.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26He gets on his bike, he's a cyclist.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Cycling.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30He's a cyclist, yeah. Well done.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I don't know where you got that from, but you're right.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Greipel is a cyclist.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37So, Chris has a point, but if you get this right, Dave,
0:11:37 > 0:11:38you are in the final round.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43The boxers Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev
0:11:43 > 0:11:48contested a world title fight in which weight division in 2017?
0:11:53 > 0:11:59OK. So none of those names are ringing any kind of bells for me,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02so I will say light heavyweight.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05If you've got it right you're in the final round.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Challengers, is he right?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08- No idea.- You don't know.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Eggheads? You'll know this. - He's right.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- Yeah, he's right.- You are right, it is light heavyweight. Well done.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15So how about that, Dave?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17You took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19You will be in the final, and you've levelled it up, as well.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Please return to us and we'll see what happens next.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27The Tasselled Wobbegongs have lost a brain from the final round,
0:12:27 > 0:12:28but the Eggheads have lost one, as well.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31So they're on the trail of the £10,000 here.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34And the next subject for you is Geography.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Ah! This is Ian.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- This will be Ian.- Going to be Ian?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- OK.- Yes?- Our performance manager.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Who do you want to take on, Ian?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45It can be any of the three in the middle.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Beth, Barry, Pat.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Beth.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Good. A man of few words, I can see.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52THEY LAUGH
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Ian from the Tasselled Wobbegongs takes on Beth.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Pleased about this, Beth? - Well, I knew it was coming my way,
0:12:58 > 0:12:59with these two left!
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Please now take your positions in our Question Room.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08So, Geography, Ian. Do you want to go first or second?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09I'll go first, please.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15All right. Is this a turning point in the game?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Here we go, your question.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Which of these cities is located in the Canadian province of Quebec?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I think,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30as it's French - and I might regret this one -
0:13:30 > 0:13:32but I think it's Montreal.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Montreal is the right answer.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Well done.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Beth, which of these geographical terms is another name
0:13:39 > 0:13:41for a large waterfall?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Crevasse is a depth.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52A cataract, rivers I think.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56But a cirque must be a circle.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57So I'll go with cirque.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Barry has his head in his hands.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Oh, does he? I bet it's cataract, isn't it?- That's normally a sign.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Barry, explain.- It's a cataract.
0:14:05 > 0:14:11A cirque is a small lake in a top of a mountain, normally, like a core.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Yeah.- But a cataract is a waterfall in a river.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Cataract is the answer.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18OK. Back to you, Ian.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The Dodecanese islands are part of which sea?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Sadly, I'm not good on my seas.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31The Dodecanese?
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Dodecanese, all one word.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38They're all around about the same area. I'm going to say Aegean.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Challengers, what do we think?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- We think that's right.- They like it, and it's right.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Well done. Aegean.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Yeah. Nice work, because you're ahead now.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Beth, you've got to get this one right...- Yeah.- ..to stay in.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- I do.- Lake Windermere is located in which county?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Phew! Luckily my mother-in-law lives up this way.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's in Cumbria.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Cumbria is correct.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05So she has one point,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08but you can finish it here with this question, Ian.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Lilongwe is the capital of which African country?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Well, it's not Angola, because I think it's Luanda.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I think it's Malawi.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29It is Malawi, well done.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Now let's just think. Equatorial Guinea, do you know, Ian?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35No, sadly not.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Eggheads?- Malabo.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Malabo. That's an obscure...
0:15:39 > 0:15:41That'll come up one day. Anyway, well done, Ian, you've done it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44You've knocked another Egghead out, Beth is gone.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Beth will not be in the final round.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48You will be. And there's £10,000 that we're playing for.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50One more round before the final.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54You were doing cataracts and cirques.
0:15:54 > 0:16:00A cirque is a amphitheatre-like valley formed by glacial erosion.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Right, well, just remember that.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05So, as it stands, the Tasselled Wobbegongs are doing very well.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07They've only lost the one brain.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08The Eggheads have lost two.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I can see knees knocking there.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12The next subject is Music.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Oh!- Is this good? - Yeah.- Yeah, I'm all right.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16I'm all right with that, yeah.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17- Ian?- Yeah, it's me. Yes.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Taking on who?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21And you've only got two left now - Barry and Pat.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Taking Barry? Yeah?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I'm just sensing a strategy here.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Whatever you're doing is working.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31So Ian from the Tasselled Wobbegongs versus Barry from the Eggheads
0:16:31 > 0:16:34on Music. And please go, for the last time, to our Question Room.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It's scuba diving that brings you together, Ian?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Tricia and I used to be members of the same
0:16:41 > 0:16:43diving club based around Reading.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45And have you seen one of these tasselled wobbegongs?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46I haven't, unfortunately, no.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48No, I've seen a similar shark,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51an angel shark. But no wobbegongs.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I think Tricia has seen one, but I haven't.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Where's the best place to scuba dive - outside Reading?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57HE CHUCKLES
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Almost anywhere else, I think.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01But Indonesia.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I particularly like diving in Indonesia.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Gosh, so would that be Bali or somewhere near or off the island?
0:17:07 > 0:17:12I've dived off the north coast of Sulawesi in Indonesia,
0:17:12 > 0:17:17either side of the northern tip of Sulawesi.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20There's a stretch of water called the Lembeh Straits.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22You do what's called muck diving there,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25where it's in black, volcanic sand.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27And it's got a more...
0:17:27 > 0:17:31A smaller level of creatures that you see in there.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So you don't get so many sharks, but you do get blue-ringed octopus,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37flamboyant cuttlefish.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40A lot of really unusual creatures in there.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Brilliant. So Music is the subject.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Ian, would you like to go first or second?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45I'll go first, please.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Here's your question. Which of these instruments would be found
0:17:52 > 0:17:55in the percussion section of an orchestra?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02A bassoon is a woodwind instrument,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04a harp is a stringed instrument,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08and a glockenspiel is percussion.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09So glockenspiel.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Glockenspiel is correct.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Barry, which of these musicians died in 2017?
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Well, Jim Morrison of The Doors died a long, long time before that.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25And Johnny Cash was also somewhat earlier.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29But unfortunately, we lost the great, great Chuck Berry.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Well done. Chuck Berry's right.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32He lived a very long life.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35OK, Ian, back to you.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Ed Sheeran had a UK number one single in 2017 with the song
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Shape Of what?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Yeah, I always feared chart music,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49modern chart music coming up.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I think I'll go for You.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Shape Of You. Well done.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03OK, Barry. "If you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05"I've seen your face before, my friend,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07"but I don't know if you know who I am,"
0:19:07 > 0:19:10are lyrics from which Phil Collins song?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Oh.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Let me just have a think about this.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I know all the songs, but can't recall those lines.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I'll go for S-S-Sussudio.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- OK.- Sussudio.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Barry!
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Oh!- So, this is very interesting.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41The Challengers were already ahead.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42They're about to knock Barry out.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44And then goodness knows what happens in the final.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47It's going to be a last-ditch defence by the remaining Eggs
0:19:47 > 0:19:49if you can do it. Ian, get this right,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52you've got a really good chance of winning £10,000.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56How does the lead character die in Bizet's opera Carmen?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Yeah, opera another one of my weaknesses.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I don't think she's likely to be shot.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14So, it's between stabbed and strangled.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21I know opera likes the grand theatricality of something.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25So, I'm going to plump for stabbed.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Let's see. Barry, do you know?
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Stabbed by Don Jose!
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Stabbed is the right answer, Ian. Well done! Three out of three.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Barry, what about that?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36This makes for a very interesting final, doesn't it?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Return to us, please, and we'll play for £10,000.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43So, here we go. It is time for our final round,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47But I'm afraid those of you who lost
0:20:47 > 0:20:50your head-to-heads can't take part in this round.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53So, it's Linda from the Tasselled Wobbegongs,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56but it's also Beth, Barry and Chris from the Eggheads.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Tricia, the two Ians and Dave.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05You are playing to win the Tasselled Wobbegongs £10,000.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Lisa and Pat, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11which is to somehow defend the Eggheads' reputation
0:21:11 > 0:21:12and the jackpot, as well.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17They're all General Knowledge. You can confer.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19So, Tasselled Wobbegongs,
0:21:19 > 0:21:24the question is, can your four brains defeat these two?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26And would you like to go first or second?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Going first has been a good strategy for us up to now,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31so we'll stick with it. We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37OK. It just got real.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41In the UK, which of these is most commonly used as an accompaniment
0:21:41 > 0:21:43to Christmas pudding?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Brandy butter?- It's brandy butter.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Brandy butter.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It's not redcurrant jelly.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54We think mint sauce goes better with lamb.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56So we think it's brandy butter.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Brandy butter is correct.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Well done. They may get harder.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Eggheads, which of these franchises released its eighth film in 2017?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- That was Fast & Furious, isn't it?- I think it is.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I don't think you get much beyond...
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Is it five for Die Hard and four for Mad Max, I think, at the moment?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Yeah, that sounds about right, doesn't it?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Yeah, but I'm fairly sure it is Fast & Furious.- Yeah. Yep.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25We think that's Fast & Furious.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Fast & Furious is correct.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28One each.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30We go back to our Challengers.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32£10,000 we are playing for.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Elizabeth Truss stood as a member of which political party
0:22:36 > 0:22:38at the 2017 general election?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Well, she's a cabinet minister, so she's Conservative.- Conservative.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Conservative?- Yeah.- OK.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50We're going to go for Conservative, Jeremy.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Conservative is correct.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57OK. Back to you, Eggheads.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02Which area of the world was invaded by the nomadic people the Huns
0:23:02 > 0:23:03at the end of the fourth century?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Well, I don't think the Huns did a great deal of damage
0:23:11 > 0:23:13in either West Africa or Central America.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Good, cos neither did I.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17So it's always nice to have you confirm my thoughts.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It must be southeastern Europe.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21We think that's southeastern Europe.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Southeastern Europe is correct.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Oh, it's tense here!
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Two each. They haven't slipped up.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- It's even more tense over here! - Yeah, for sure!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32You haven't slipped up, you're playing well.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Hold focus here.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37The actress Meghan Markle plays Rachel Zane in which
0:23:37 > 0:23:39American legal drama?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Is she Prince Harry's girlfriend? - Yes, she is. Yeah.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- It's not Ally McBeal. - It's not Ally McBeal.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- I think it's Suits. - I think it's Suits.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I think it is, as well.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Yeah. We're not entirely confident.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53We know her for other reasons
0:23:53 > 0:23:56because she's Prince Harry's girlfriend, sometimes,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58but we think the programme she's in is Suits.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Yes, it is Suits. Three out of three.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04So, you may have won the £10,000 already.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It may not...
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Or not.- Or not. Let's see.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Eggheads, if you get this question wrong, they have won.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13They've taken the jackpot.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Here's your question.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Which American poet wrote Trees,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21which begins with the lines,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26"I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree"?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Hmm.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I don't have an immediate answer.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- I've heard the... I've heard the line.- And me.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40The cadence sounds quite Emily Dickinson.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42The sentiment doesn't, does it?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48How much do you know about Joyce Kilmer and Wallace Stevens?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- Cos I've got nothing.- Not very much.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I suppose she was quite a nature lover, Emily Dickinson.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56It does... The theme creeps in quite often.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- It does seem slightly light-hearted for her.- Hmm.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04She was quite serious.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Do you think it's a humorous poem?
0:25:06 > 0:25:10I mean, is it almost tongue-in-cheek or is it just a straight
0:25:10 > 0:25:11poetic sentiment?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I have never seen anything beyond those two lines.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I could not tell you.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18We could be doing her a great disservice.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Joyce Kilmer, does that ring a bell?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21She isn't one of these notoriously bad poets?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It's not something like... She's not an American McGonagall, is she?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I'm genuinely getting nothing from the other two.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27I mean, could that be...?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Like The Tay Bridge Disaster, could it be the American equivalent?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33It's not a terrible poem, though.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36It's hard to tell from just one line, isn't it?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39If it's truly awful, you can't really tell from just one line.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Long shot. We could decide that it's actually a bad poem.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Maybe Joyce Kilmer is an American McGonagall.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50There is a lady, it might not be her.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52But there is a lady famous for...
0:25:54 > 0:25:56..dodgy poems.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I think if I were going to go based, as you say,
0:25:58 > 0:26:02on the cadence, and the fact that I know she was quite a nature lover
0:26:02 > 0:26:05and it does creep in, I probably would go Emily Dickinson.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07But, again, you're right.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I mean, I have nothing else to base it on.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11So it is a bit of a toss-up.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13What do we do?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Well, we either go for Joyce Kilmer
0:26:15 > 0:26:17on the basis that she's a McGonagall.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Or we go for Emily Dickinson on the basis that it's the right cadence.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Which one do you fancy?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Let's go with Emily Dickinson and put it on me, shall we?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27OK. As you wish. Yep.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29We'll go there.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30We're completely at sea,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and we're going for Emily Dickinson.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Fascinating to hear this discussion.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Barry has had some sort of collapse back there.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Do you know the answer to this, Barry?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Yes, it's Joyce Kilmer.- Ah.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Joyce Kilmer is a man, as well.- Ah.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46The answer is Joyce Kilmer.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48We say congratulations, Challengers.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49You have won!
0:26:53 > 0:26:54I mean, credit to you.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57You thought it through, and I can absolutely see...
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I love Emily Dickinson, I can see how you think there was that
0:27:01 > 0:27:02sort of rhythm to it.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Anyway, that's now your favourite poem.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Yes, forever and ever!
0:27:06 > 0:27:07So, how does it feel? You've won!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- It's amazing!- And you actually didn't even break into a sweat
0:27:10 > 0:27:12on the final round there.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I'm sure you could have taken them to Sudden Death and won, as well.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Congratulations to Tasselled Wobbegongs.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18You've won £10,000.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23They're going to be furious because they love getting to 10,000.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25They've got to be reset to one now.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28And, Barry, we mustn't forget your question at the very start.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Yes, the question was -
0:27:30 > 0:27:35the phrase, "How to punish Daleks before many million earthlings
0:27:35 > 0:27:37"truly see clearly,"
0:27:37 > 0:27:40is a pneumonic for remembering what order?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43And the order is the order of actors who've played Dr Who
0:27:43 > 0:27:45on the TV series.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49And they go Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Tom Baker, Davidson, Colin Baker.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55McCoy, McGann, Eccleston,
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Tennant, Smith and Capaldi!
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Well remembered!- And for the Dr Who aficionados out there,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04John Hurt also played Dr Who,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06but that was in an anniversary special.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09There we are. That question has floored us.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10And you floored them.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13So, well done. Very, very good.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:16 > 0:28:19can be as good as our disguised sharks here.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Until then, goodbye.
