0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are Awkward and Large. Now this team all work together
0:00:38 > 0:00:41for an international courier company and are based in Peterborough.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43So let's meet them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hi, I'm Colin and I'm head of telesales.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Rae and I'm a new business team leader.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Martin and I'm a new business adviser.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Sam and I'm also a new business adviser.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm James, I'm a new business sales advisor.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59So Colin and team, hello.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- Hello.- Welcome, good to see you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Yeah, and Awkward and Large - why so?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05We all work for the same parcel company,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and it's a play on one of the products
0:01:08 > 0:01:10that we currently are selling -
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and as all of us are either awkward, large or both
0:01:13 > 0:01:15we thought it was a perfect name.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16And how awkward can they be?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Are we talking golf clubs, here, or skis, or what?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Absolutely.- Stuff that doesn't fit in letterboxes.- Coffins.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23- Coffins?- Yes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28- Do you quiz together?- We do, we do quizzes at work, on occasions.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29But we've never quizzed together,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32it was a combination idea to come on the show.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Well, I'm glad you did. You're taking on the great Eggheads, here.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:39 > 0:01:40for our challenging team.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42If they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:01:42 > 0:01:45the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Now, Awkward and Large,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49it was rather awkward and large for the Eggheads,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I'm afraid the Challengers won the last game,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54the Eggheads went down - but that proves it can be done.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Maybe you can hit them for a double, here.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58There's £1,000 if you beat them.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Would you like to try?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Absolutely.- Fantastic.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & Television
0:02:05 > 0:02:07so it's one of you, please, against either
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Lisa, Steve, Barry, Pat, or Chris.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- OK.- I think we're going to go with Sam, aren't we?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Film & Television, it's got to be Sam.- Yeah.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16We agreed? What if Food & Drink comes up?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- I'll take it.- We'll run it.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21OK. I'll get it out of the way, then, I'll go first.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Who do you want to take on? - Are we going to go Chris?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Did we decide?- I think Chris, yeah.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Yeah. We're going to go with Sam against Chris.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Brilliant. OK, Sam, our new business adviser, taking on Chris.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- That's good, it's not a sport. - That's right, yeah.- For once.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38If it had been Sport,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I think that would be evidence of some sort of shenanigans.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45To ensure that there is no conferring, would you please both
0:02:45 > 0:02:49take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Sam, Film & TV.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Yeah, that's me.- I know you've got a bit of a Star Wars connection.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I have, yeah, absolutely love Star Wars.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58And you had - tell us what happened at your wedding.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Yeah, we knew... The person who played the organ at our wedding
0:03:00 > 0:03:02was a family friend, and he surprised me,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I didn't know he was going to do this,
0:03:04 > 0:03:05and he actually played the Star Wars theme
0:03:05 > 0:03:07as we were walking out of the church.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Brilliant.- Everyone just looked at each other and laughed,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- they knew it was so me, yeah. - How does that go, I can't remember.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- You're not going to get me to sing it, are you?- No, just a la-la-la.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17# Da da da da dur da da da da dur... #
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Oh, yeah, I've got it. Brilliant.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I can't believe you just got me to sing that.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23What was the one...I read it in the papers a while back,
0:03:23 > 0:03:27somebody asked for the theme to Robin Hood at their wedding?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Everything I Do, I Do It For You.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32And the guy misunderstood and he played...
0:03:32 > 0:03:36# Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding through the glen! #
0:03:36 > 0:03:39All right, Sam, Film & TV - would you like to go first or second?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I think I'd like to go first.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Good luck. The fourth Indiana Jones film released in 2008
0:03:50 > 0:03:53was titled Indiana Jones and the what?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59OK, well, this is the perfect question for me.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Because of the Star Wars connection I'm a massive Harrison Ford fan,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05everybody knows that. So it's pretty easy for me,
0:04:05 > 0:04:06it's the Crystal Skull.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09It is the Crystal Skull, well done.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11And Phantom Menace, that was a Star Wars one, wasn't it?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Yeah, that was the prequel, yeah, that came out.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14And Two Towers?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Two Towers is Lord Of The Rings, I think.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Yeah. OK.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20All right. Chris. See if you can catch up.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23In the TV reality show The Jump,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26celebrities take part in which sport?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I don't think they'd risk horse racing.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35It wouldn't be the triple jump, that's an athletics speciality,
0:04:35 > 0:04:36but I think they get them ski jumping.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Ski jumping is the right answer.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40You ever been tempted by that show?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Well, no, it seems a rather silly way of getting downhill fast.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45OK. Sam.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Joe Pesci won an Oscar for his role in which film?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54OK.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I love him, he's a good actor.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I've seen all these films. Goodfellas is brilliant,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I love that, but I'm pretty sure it's My Cousin Vinny.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Challengers, do we know?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- I think it's Goodfellas. - It is Goodfellas.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Oh, I'm really annoyed with myself. - Oh, sorry.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Don't worry, at the moment you're still level.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Chris, your question.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16In which film does Janet Leigh play the role of Marion Crane,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20a woman on the run after stealing 40,000?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Ah, she's very famously killed off halfway through, it's Psycho.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Yes, Psycho is correct. OK, Sam, you need this to stay in.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32- I do, right, OK.- OK, here we go.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Jim Carter, who played Mr Carson in Downton Abbey,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39married which actress in 1983?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Oh, goodness.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47I said, when I said TV & Film,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I said, I hope a Downton Abbey question doesn't come up,
0:05:50 > 0:05:51because I've just never seen it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I don't think it's Julie Walters.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I'm going with my gut feeling, I honestly don't know this,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01so, Imelda Staunton?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Imelda Staunton is the right answer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Oh, thank you.- Well done, Sam.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Chris, your question, to take the round.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11The 2017 film Free Fire was directed by which man?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I think, I'm not sure, but I think that's Shane Meadows.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19- Yes!- Martin, you know?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Yes, Ben Wheatley. - Ben Wheatley is the answer.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Oh, right.- OK, so this is good, Sam.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27You're off the hook, there, and we go to Sudden Death
0:06:27 > 0:06:30because you're equal after three, so it gets a bit harder.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- I don't give you different options, OK.- OK.- Here we go.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Hank Schrader and Mike Ehrmantraut
0:06:35 > 0:06:39are supporting characters in which TV series first shown in 2008?
0:06:39 > 0:06:44They're not ringing any bells at all, haven't got a clue.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45They sound American.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Hank...
0:06:47 > 0:06:48I'll go for Dexter.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51American show. I don't know.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Not a bad shout.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Steve, do you know?- Well, thanks to Barry, it's Breaking Bad.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56- Breaking Bad.- Oh.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- OK.- OK, Chris, you can take the round with this.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04In which 1980 film does Bill Murray play a character named Carl Spackler
0:07:04 > 0:07:07who is at war with The Gopher.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08That's Caddyshack.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Caddyshack is the right answer, you've taken the round. Sorry, Sam.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Knocked out by Chris.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16He'll be in the final - but it's early days for our Challengers.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Please return and rejoin your teams.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23So, as it stands, Awkward and Large have lost one brain
0:07:23 > 0:07:26from the final round, the Eggheads haven't lost any yet.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28And the next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30So, Colin, who wants this?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Er, right OK.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- So...- I think it's the girls.- Yeah.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Rachel is our Arts & Books expert.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43OK, Rae against which Egghead? It can't be Chris.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Personally, I'd say Barry or Steve,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50but I wouldn't choose Lisa, personally.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52No, she's really good at that, isn't she?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54So we know who we're not going to choose.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Who would you want to play? - Let's go with Steve.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58OK. Rae from Awkward and Large
0:07:58 > 0:08:01playing Steve on Arts & Books from the Eggheads -
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and just to ensure there is no conferring,
0:08:03 > 0:08:04please take your positions.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09It says here you've got 13 piercings and tattoos, Rae.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11And counting, yes.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15So, do the tattoos follow a theme?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Unfortunately not yet, but I'm working on it. I'm getting there.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21What, you're thinking you could build up a bit more?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Yeah, I'm going to get a few more, yeah.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28And you recently gained a degree in English literature, Rae.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Er, literature and language.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32And what was your best, your sort of discovery,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34what was the thing you loved the most?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I am in love with the English language.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I loved the language part of it, and I'm very linguistic-based.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42How wonderful. OK.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44So, Arts & Books, perfect, I hope, for you -
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and, Rae, do you want to go first or second?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I'll go first, as well, please. Thank you.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Here we go. The strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde
0:08:55 > 0:08:57is a book by which author?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Bram Stoker was Dracula.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I desperately want to say that Robert Louis Stevenson was...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12..the...the giant...
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'm going to go with HG Wells,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I'm not 100% convinced, but I think it's HG Wells.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I might have gone the same way, to be honest with you.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25But it is actually Robert Louis Stevenson.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28They are all known for other stuff - so, HG Wells is The Time Machine
0:09:28 > 0:09:29and War Of The worlds
0:09:29 > 0:09:31and Louis Stevenson is Treasure Island.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Catriona.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37OK - but he also did Jekyll and Hyde.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Steve, which of these works by Shakespeare
0:09:39 > 0:09:41is largely set in Britain?
0:09:45 > 0:09:46That's King Lear, Jeremy.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48King Lear is right. Hamlet is where?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Denmark.- Romeo and Juliet?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51- Verona.- Correct.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53OK. Back to you, Rae.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56The Odyssey is an epic poem by which writer?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03As soon as you said the Odyssey, I wanted to say Homer.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06And then as soon as I saw Virgil, I questioned myself.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Aesop was the fables, so not even counting that.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I'm going to go with Homer.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Good, yeah, Homer's Odyssey. Well done. Absolutely right.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Steve. What is the name of the main female character
0:10:18 > 0:10:21in Henry James's novel The Portrait of a Lady?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Well, there's only one of those options
0:10:29 > 0:10:30actually in a Henry James novel,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32and that's Isabel Archer.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Isabel Archer is quite right.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Anyone help us with Bathsheba, is she a real person?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Far From The Madding Crowd. - Far From The Madding Crowd.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Catherine Morland...?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Anybody?- Northanger Abbey.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Northanger Abbey.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45All right, so you need to get this one right to stay in, Rae.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Which of these French dramatists is best known for writing farces?
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Definitely not my strength, in terms of farces.
0:11:01 > 0:11:09I think... I erred towards Feydeau when I saw the names come up.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13I'm going to go with my initial instinct, and go with Feydeau.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Georges Feydeau.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Georges Feydeau is correct.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Well done!- Nicely done.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Cos that's not an easy question at all.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23So, level...but Steve can take it with this question.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Steve, which of these is a work by Edouard Manet?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I'm just not going to jump in here.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I'm pretty sure that's Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Apologies for the accent.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe...
0:11:43 > 0:11:45is the right answer.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Let's just think. Impression: Sunrise, is that...?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Monet.- Monet.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And Seurat did La Grande Jatte?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Yes. So Manet did paint Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe, which means, what,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58"picnic in the forest" or something?
0:11:58 > 0:11:59"Lunch on the grass."
0:11:59 > 0:12:02There's a naked lady with the party, having a picnic.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06You're so right, and it was famously put on an album cover by...?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Bow Wow Wow.- Bow Wow Wow, Pat.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Absolutely. OK.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Sorry, Rae. Fascinating round,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13it's just that first answer tripped you up.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Do come back to us, and we will play on.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19OK. As it stands, Awkward and Large
0:12:19 > 0:12:21have lost two brains from the final round,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24the Eggheads have still not lost any -
0:12:24 > 0:12:25and the next subject is History.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26So, who would like this?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- This is...- James, are you happy to take History?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35James? All right, business sales advisor.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It can be either Lisa or Barry or Pat.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Your choice, mate.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Who would you like to go with?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Go with Lisa?- I will go with Lisa.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Let's go with Lisa.- Yeah?- Lisa.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Good. James from Awkward and Large taking on Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52To ensure there is no conferring,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54please go to the famous Question Room.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Lisa, your favourite period of history?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Very, very boringly, mainstreamly, I'm afraid it's the Tudors.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Everyone always says the Tudors, don't they?- Yeah. Love them.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07And Henry VIII and all that, jousting...
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Mostly Elizabeth, I think's my favourite.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12What about you, James, are you a Tudor person?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15No, I'm more of a Queen Victoria kind of man.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Right!
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Hanoverians. Right through to modern day.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20OK, well, let's see where this goes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22James, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:22 > 0:13:23I shall go second, please.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30OK, nobody's gone second for ages, so, Lisa, your first question.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Which of these historical figures was born first?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I think we can fairly safely say that is...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- You did say born first, didn't you, Jeremy?- Born first.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Yeah. Pretty sure that was 1600, yeah.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Robert the Bruce.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Robert the Bruce is correct.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54James, your question. In which ancient civilisation
0:13:54 > 0:13:57were the wealthy ruling classes called the patricians?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I think you can take out Aztec.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Between Greek and Roman...
0:14:05 > 0:14:07..I would go Roman.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Roman is correct. - Well done!- Well done.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Not easy. Lisa.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Your second question. The historic country of Prussia
0:14:15 > 0:14:18was located on which body of water?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25How did geography get where it's not supposed to be again?!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I think it's putting the word "historic"
0:14:27 > 0:14:29before the word "country", makes it a history question.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Can I have the question one more time, please, Jeremy?
0:14:32 > 0:14:37The historic country of Prussia was located on which body of water?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Yeah, OK.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Yeah, Prussia I think is modern-day Germany,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46so I think that would be the Baltic Sea.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Baltic Sea is correct, well done.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49So, Lisa's ahead, James.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Get this right to catch up.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54What was the first name of the 19th-century Scottish explorer
0:14:54 > 0:14:56and missionary Dr Livingstone?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Dr Livingstone...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I believe was an African adventurer.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Definitely not Henry.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Definitely don't think it's Clive, so I will go with David.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11David Livingstone is correct.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Well done.
0:15:12 > 0:15:142-2.
0:15:14 > 0:15:20Lisa. Sargon II, who lived in the eighth century BC,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22was a ruler of which ancient kingdom?
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Get under the desk, Barry.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Just get under there now, this isn't going to be pretty, OK?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I don't know. I'll try Macedonia.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Barry has collapsed.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Barry?- "The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43"and his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold."
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- It is Assyrian. - So, Assyria is the answer,
0:15:46 > 0:15:50so that gives you a little bit of a let-off here, James.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Get this right, you are in the final round.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Of the five good emperors who ruled over the Roman Empire
0:15:55 > 0:15:59for most of the second century AD, who was the last?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Oh...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I don't think it is Marcus Aurelius, cos I think he was Caesar.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Hadrian...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Possibly, it is kind of when the wall was built.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18It is either between Hadrian and Antoninus Pius.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22It's a guess, but I am going to go Antoninus Pius.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23No, it is Marcus Aurelius.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Never mind. - So, level after three questions.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Lisa, we go to Sudden Death, it gets a bit harder,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I don't give you alternatives. You know the form! Here we go.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Barry's not collapsed any more, he is sitting up.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35He is behaving himself.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38In Vietnamese, what do the letters VC stand for
0:16:38 > 0:16:41in the name of the Communist-led army and guerrilla force
0:16:41 > 0:16:44who fought US troops during the Vietnam War?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Is that as straightforward as Viet Cong...?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Viet Cong.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Viet Cong is correct.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52James.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57The Hay-Pauncefote Treaty of 1901, signed by Britain and the US,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01gave the latter the right to build and manage what waterway?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04That time, colonies...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Panama? Panama Canal.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Well done. Panama Canal.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Good answer.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13OK. Lisa.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14The Battle of the Eureka Stockade
0:17:14 > 0:17:18took place in Australia in 1854 between British colonial troops
0:17:18 > 0:17:22and workers mostly engaged in mining what?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I don't know. I've not much to go on, shall we try gold?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Gold is correct.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Cos they didn't like the prospecting licence fees.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32James, you need this to stay in.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36What was the popular name of the commission set up in November 1963
0:17:36 > 0:17:39to investigate the assassination of John F Kennedy?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44American history, not my strong point.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45I haven't got a clue.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I don't know. Dallas Commission, I don't know.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Dallas, no.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Eggheads?- Warren Commission. - Warren Commission.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58After Earl Warren, who was the US Chief Justice.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Sorry, James, knocked out by Lisa.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Nip and tuck in the Sudden Death round, but Lisa took it.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04The Egghead is in the final.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07All right, Challengers, you've got to turn it around.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Let's play the next round.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14As it stands, Awkward and Large having a slightly awkward time here.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17But you can definitely still win, no question.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19You have lost three brains from the final round,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21the Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25And we've got one more round before the final, and it's Music.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27So it's going to be Colin or Martin.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Preordained, isn't it? - Preordained. Off you go, my darling.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I will take Music.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35OK, Colin. And you can take on either Barry or Pat.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Barry, known as the Brain, Pat, known as the Shark.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40It's a tough one.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I think I will take on Pat, please.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Righty-ho. Colin from Awkward and Large
0:18:46 > 0:18:49playing Pat from the Eggheads. Just this round before the final,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51let's see if the Challengers can win one back.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Please take your positions.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Music for you, Colin, then.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Can I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You can indeed, against the great Pat.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Here we go. Which of these singers released the album 100 in 2017?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Right.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I don't think it was Tony Bennett.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24So I am going to go down the middle and go for Vera Lynn.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Yes, because she had turned 100.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Vera Lynn is right.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Pat, the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald
0:19:31 > 0:19:33was nicknamed the First Lady of what?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I think she's made sort of benchmark recordings
0:19:40 > 0:19:43of the music of Gershwin and Cole Porter,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46and the entire American song book.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So I think she's the First Lady of Song.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Yes, she is the First Lady of Song.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Back to you, Colin. The musical acts Everything But The Girl
0:19:55 > 0:19:58and The Housemartins both formed in which English city?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04OK.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Based on the fact that The Housemartins,
0:20:08 > 0:20:13I believe their first album was London 0 Hull 4, or another city,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I'm going to go for Hull.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Your answer's spot on. Hull is right.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21OK, Pat.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Chained To The Rhythm is a 2017 hit single by which singer,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27in collaboration with Skip Marley?
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Lorde has tended to release solo songs.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Katy Perry certainly likes collaboration,
0:20:40 > 0:20:47and Lady Gaga has done them in the past, with Tony Bennett and Beyonce.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Chained To The Rhythm...
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I can remember a music video
0:20:52 > 0:20:56with Katy Perry walking through some sort of theme park.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58That could possibly be that song.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I think I will have to go for Katy Perry.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Katy Perry is right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04So, 2-2.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08And back we go to you, for your third question, Colin.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12The composer Antonin Dvorak died in which century?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18This was the fear that classical music would drop in there.
0:21:20 > 0:21:26As the last two answers have been the middle one and the right one,
0:21:26 > 0:21:27I am going to go...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29..down the middle again. 19th.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Now, let's see. Anyone on your side know?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Personally I'd have probably said 20th, but I really don't know.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Pat, do you know?- I have a suspicion
0:21:38 > 0:21:41he may well have just crept into the 20th century.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Yeah, it is the 20th century. Colin, you have got two out of three.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Let's see if it's enough to get you to Sudden Death.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Pat, if you get this one right, you are in the final.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Allan Pineda Lindo, or apl.de.ap,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56became famous as a member of which American group?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06I think he's a long-standing friend of will.i.am,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08with the extra full stops.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Erm... So I think he's a member of the Black Eyed Peas.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Black eyed peas it is. Pat, you are in the final round.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Colin, the captain, has been knocked out.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20But there is a way back from here for the Challengers,
0:22:20 > 0:22:21they can still win.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Return to us, please, we will play the final for £1,000.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28And this is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:28 > 0:22:29it is time for the final round,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:33 > 0:22:35will not be allowed to take part,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37so I'm afraid all from this side -
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Colin, Rae, Sam and James from Awkward and Large,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42would you now please leave the studio?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Martin, here you are playing to win Awkward and Large £1,000.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Lisa, Steve, Barry, Pat and Chris,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53you are trying to shore up the Eggheads' reputation -
0:22:53 > 0:22:56after the incident we mustn't discuss in the last game.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01This time they are all General Knowledge.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Normally I say you can confer -
0:23:02 > 0:23:04sorry that doesn't help you today, Martin,
0:23:04 > 0:23:05with them all sitting back there,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07but at the heart of it the question is,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09can your one brain defeat these five?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Do you want to go first or second? - I've been saying all along I think
0:23:12 > 0:23:14second's the way to go, so second, please.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19All right. Your first question, Eggheads.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25In 2015, Slaven Bilic became manager of which English football club?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- West Ham.- West Ham, yeah.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32All happy with West Ham?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Yeah, the big stadium.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We're all agreed on this, we believe it was West Ham United.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39It was West Ham United.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Martin. What is the name of the child whose birth in 2013
0:23:43 > 0:23:47was greeted on the front page of Private Eye magazine
0:23:47 > 0:23:48with the headline "Woman Has Baby"?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Knowing Private Eye,
0:23:54 > 0:23:59and certainly the joy Hislop takes in lampooning people,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I'm pretty sure it was an allusion to the massive hype
0:24:02 > 0:24:05about Prince George being born.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Yeah, cos North West and Blue Ivy Carter, to be completely honest,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10don't mean a lot, so I'm going to go Prince George.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Prince George is correct.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15One each. Eggheads, back to you.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19By what name was the modern city of Milan known in Roman times?
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Lutetia was Paris... - Mediolanum?- Mediolanum
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- looks promising, doesn't it? - Mediolanum makes sense, yeah.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Most modern names start with
0:24:34 > 0:24:36the same first letter as the Roman names...
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I'm fairly confident it is Mediolanum.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39I'd have gone for that one myself.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41We'll go for that. Are we happy with that?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Mm-hm.- OK, well,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46the current names of Roman cities generally start with the same letter
0:24:46 > 0:24:48as the first letter of the Roman name.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52So on that principle, we will go for Mediolanum.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Mediolanum is correct.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56So they are ahead, and this to catch up.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Martin, the UK traffic sign for no waiting
0:24:58 > 0:25:02consists of a red circle with a red diagonal line through it,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04on top of what colour background?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09OK.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I was thinking white.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I'm pretty sure it is not black.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I'm going to discount that.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I'm going to go with blue.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Blue is correct, Martin, well done. You are level.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Eggheads, your third question.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24The Hang Seng index is an indication
0:25:24 > 0:25:28of share prices on the Stock Exchange principally located where?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Hong Kong?- Hong Kong.- Hong Kong? - Hong Kong.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I had four voices all around me, all saying Hong Kong at the same time,
0:25:37 > 0:25:38so that's our answer.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Hong Kong is correct.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Martin. To take it to Sudden Death - but you do need this.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47In 1924, Malcolm Campbell in his car Bluebird
0:25:47 > 0:25:52set a world land speed record of 146.16 miles an hour
0:25:52 > 0:25:54at which UK beach?
0:26:01 > 0:26:07Pendine Sands is traditionally where the speed records were set.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Malcolm Campbell, Malcolm Campbell...
0:26:10 > 0:26:13There were a lot of documentaries recently about Donald...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I'm going to go Pendine Sands.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17If you are right, it goes to Sudden Death.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20If you are wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Eggheads?- Right.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Correct. Pendine Sands, South Wales.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Well done. After three questions each the scores are level,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28we go to Sudden Death.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Gets a bit harder, Eggheads, I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Jonathan Bartley became the co-leader of which political party
0:26:35 > 0:26:37in September 2016?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Greens.- Greens.- Part of the job share.- Yeah. With Caroline Lucas.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43We believe he was the co-leader of the Greens,

0:26:51 > 0:26:53of which daily newspaper in 2015?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57So it keeps the Independent still on the table,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59cos that was still going in 2015...
0:26:59 > 0:27:00It's not the Mail.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Not the Sun, I don't think.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I'm really not sure.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07The only newspaper I read is one of the big Sunday ones,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09and it keeps me going all week.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I'm really an online news gatherer now,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14but something's telling me the Mirror,
0:27:14 > 0:27:15so I'm going to go the Daily Mirror.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18If you've got it right, we play on. If you've got it wrong, it is over.

0:27:22 > 0:27:23- No.- What is it?- The Guardian.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Martin, I'm so sorry, The Guardian is the answer.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Yeah, I'm trying to remember the circumstances.

0:27:40 > 0:27:41Yeah, that's true.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44You did, you did - and you are right that newspapers
0:27:44 > 0:27:47are not where everyone gets their news now.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Commiserations, Martin, and the whole team of Awkward and Large.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55and they reign supreme over quizland once again.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Back on your feet, Eggs. It's good, isn't it?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I'm afraid you will not be going home with the £1,000.
