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 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Now, taking on the might of the Eggheads today are
0:00:34 > 0:00:37the Big Fat Stupid Quizzers from Manchester.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Team captain Giles hosts a weekly quiz at the Lass O'Gowrie pub,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45which the rest of the team attend, called the Big Fat Stupid Quiz.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46So, let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Hi, my name's Giles,
0:00:47 > 0:00:51I'm the producer of a small media production company.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hello, my name's Louise and I'm a research fellow.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Lou and I'm a deputy stage manager.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Ruth and I'm a head of service.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Harold and I'm a housing administrator.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Giles and team, hello.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Hello.- Welcome to you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Giles, tell us about the quiz.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Well, it's a weekly quiz at the Lass O'Gowrie,
0:01:10 > 0:01:11it's called Big Fat Stupid Quiz
0:01:11 > 0:01:14because essentially it requires no general knowledge,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17just the ability to humiliate yourself.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I see, so it's... How can you do it without any general knowledge?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Well, obviously, there is an element of general knowledge.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24You need to have some answers.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29But I tend to concentrate on the more silly side of quizzing, really.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- And it's gone on for while, this quiz?- 18 years, this year.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Really, 18 years? Have you all quizzed at the pub?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Yes.- You have. All right. Well that's great.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41That could come in handy against this lot over here.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48But if the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads, as you know,
0:01:48 > 0:01:49the prize money rolls over.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51So, Big Fat Stupid Quizzers...
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I hate saying that to you, by the way!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I feel bad about it.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58The Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Which means £2,000 says you can't beat them today.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04The first head-to-head battle is on Sport.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09One of you against either Lisa, Steve, Barry, Kevin, or Chris.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- I think Ruth.- Yeah. For Sport!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Really?- Yeah.- OK.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- And, Lou, we're going to...? - Yeah.- Is it Ruth?- Yeah.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21All right, Ruth. Against which Egghead, any one of the five?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22- Oh.- You want whoever's best.- Lisa?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You want the best,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27who therefore wouldn't be able to do one of the other head-to-heads.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Ah, that's true.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32You're just trying to make me go up against Kevin, aren't you?
0:02:32 > 0:02:33- My strategy.- That's what it is.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Just trying to get rid of Kevin for the rest of you!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Yes, let's do that.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- Is that what we're doing?- Yes.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43All right then, Kevin it is.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47OK, so Ruth from Big Fat Stupid Quizzers takes on Kevin,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49this has not been a bad tactic before, has it?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- People hurling themselves at you. - Sometimes it pays off.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56He's not expecting this, so you never know. Catch him cold.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Please now go to the legendary Eggheads Question Room.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03So Ruth, you've been volunteered for Sport here.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Yes.- Is it your thing?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07No.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Is there a lack of Sport on the team?
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Yeah. I think, generally, yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Oh, that's a shame that's come up then.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Well, good luck. Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Here we go. Pep Guardiola became the manager of which
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Premier League football team in 2016?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Oh, this might be the only sports question I get right.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- It's Manchester City. - It is Manchester City, well done.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- So you've got a bit of football going on?- Er, just Manchester.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40OK! Of course, that's where you live, yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Yeah!- All right, Kevin.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43The Silver Fern is the emblem
0:03:43 > 0:03:46of the national rugby union team of which country?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54That's what you see on the all-black shirts of New Zealand.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55New Zealand is correct.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Over to you, Ruth.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Dodger Stadium is a major baseball field in which city?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Baseball is definitely not my thing.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10So it's going to have to be a bit of a guess.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14For some reason, Los Angeles isn't really working for me.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16So I'm going to go with Boston.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Dodger Stadium in Boston, let's see.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Kevin?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22No, originally they started off in New York
0:04:22 > 0:04:25because they were originally the Brooklyn Dodgers,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29but then they, in the 1950s, the franchise moved and since then
0:04:29 > 0:04:30- they've been Los Angeles.- Oh!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33So, yes, it is Los Angeles, Ruth.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35OK. Your question, Kevin.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38In total, how many major championship titles
0:04:38 > 0:04:40did Nick Faldo win during his golfing career?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It's not, well it's not as high as 12 or 18.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I was just trying to work out which... I think he won, it was six,
0:04:48 > 0:04:54and I think he won three British Opens and three US Masters.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So, six.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Six is correct.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- He is good, Ruth, isn't he?- Yeah!
0:05:01 > 0:05:02All right. Your question.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08Lester Piggott, who was 18 when he won his first Epsom Derby in 1954,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11was how old when he won his last?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16You need this to stay in.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22Well, I mean I know the name, but, again, don't know the answer.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I'm assuming it's probably not 27.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I'm going to take a punt at 47, I think.
0:05:29 > 0:05:3047 is correct, well done.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Yes!- He had a very long career. - Whoo!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Kevin. You can take the round with this.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Of which British boxer did Muhammad Ali reportedly comment,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44"He hit me so hard, my ancestors in Africa felt it."
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well, it's not John Conteh.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55But I think he did fight both of the others.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59The one who famously knocked him down was Henry Cooper, so...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Yeah, it could be Bugner, but I'm going to
0:06:02 > 0:06:04have to stick with Henry Cooper.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Henry Cooper's the right answer.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08So three out of three. Sorry, Ruth.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11And you know it's not your subject, but you did well there anyway,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13beaten by our Egghead. Kevin will be in the final,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Ruth has been knocked out.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Come back to us please and we'll play round two.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21So, as it stands, Big Fat Stupid Quizzers have lost a brain
0:06:21 > 0:06:25from the final round, the Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29The next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31So, Giles and team, who wants this?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- I think we know. - Well, we had you down for Books.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I think we discussed this on the train, didn't we?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38We did, we had a little chat about it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39What do you say, Lou?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Yeah, I'll have a go.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Who would we choose?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46OK, Lou against, obviously, anyone but Kevin.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I might try Steve.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Steve.- Steve.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I think we'll go with Harold, you might be right there.- OK.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- I think that's a good call. - All right.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Come on, Steve. - Oh, sorry, I thought you meant...
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- No, no.- Steve, yeah.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02So Lou from Big Fat Stupid Quizzers to play Steve from the Eggheads.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Arts & Books the subject, please go to the Question Room now.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So, Lou, Arts & Books, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:09 > 0:07:10I'll go first.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Here we go.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18The sequel to Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
0:07:18 > 0:07:21is called The Restaurant At The End Of The...what?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Gut feeling is universe.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33I'm going to have to just go with my gut and hope that that's right.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36It normally works in life. I'm going to choose universe.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It is Restaurant At The End Of The Universe,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40you're quite right, well done. Well done.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Steve, your question, Arts & Books -
0:07:42 > 0:07:44which of these artists was born first?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well, you'll have to ask Kevin for exact dates,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52but I think that's Salvador Dali.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Let's see. Kevin, first of all, Andy Warhol?
0:07:55 > 0:07:581928-87.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- David Hockney?- Born in 1937.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- And Dali?- 1904-89.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Right. Dali's the right answer, Steve,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and we just had the dates from Kevin. All right.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Your question now, Lou.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Lydia Bennet is one of the characters
0:08:13 > 0:08:15in which novel by Jane Austen?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Bit of a mental block here,
0:08:22 > 0:08:26but again I'm going to go with my gut and go for Pride And Prejudice.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Pride And Prejudice is quite right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Your gut hasn't let you down.- Ooft!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33OK, Steve -
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World was first published
0:08:37 > 0:08:38in which century?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I thought you were going to ask me for a year. I were panicked.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45It's 20th, Jeremy.
0:08:45 > 0:08:4620th is quite right.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50So, level on two and back we go to you, Lou.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53See if you can get this right, put him under some pressure.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- I'll do my best.- Which of these is a famous painting by Francisco Goya?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Wow.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06OK, I'm going to choose The Dance. I don't know why.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'm afraid you're wrong.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- The Naked Maja is the answer.- Ah!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13So, Steve has a chance.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The word "makar" is now used as a term for the poet laureate
0:09:16 > 0:09:19of which country of the UK?
0:09:19 > 0:09:20It's M-A-K-A-R.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- This for the round. - I think that's Scotland, Jeremy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29You are right, Steve, well done, three out of three.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Sorry, Lou, they're playing really well.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Have you even got one wrong yet, Eggheads?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35This is annoying when they're in this form.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Lou, you've been knocked out, I'm afraid. Steve is in the final round.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Return to us and we'll see what happens in round three.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44So, as it stands, Big Fat Stupid Quizzers have lost two brains
0:09:44 > 0:09:46now from the final round and the Eggheads are all
0:09:46 > 0:09:49just still sitting there. Five of them, intact.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52So, chance for you now on Science.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Who would like this?- Ooh!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Ah. I think I know the answer to this.- Yeah, I think we all do.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Come on, Louise.- Yes. - Who are we going...?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01I say take one for the team.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04All right, Louise. Against which Egghead?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08And it can be... Well, alternate ones - Lisa, Barry, Chris.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- I'm drawn to Lisa.- We all are.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Beautiful hair.- Well, it's the dress.- It's the dress and hair.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16We are all drawn to you, lady.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Yes, let's go with that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19You're only human!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23So, Louise from Big Fat Stupid Quizzers,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25drawn to Lisa from the Eggheads, and just to ensure
0:10:25 > 0:10:27there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32So, Science, Louise, would you like to go first or second?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Well, as we've done so well with the choice of going first,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I think I might try second.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42All right, Lisa, here we go.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44What type of creature is a praying mantis?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Praying Mantis is an insect, Jeremy.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Insect is right.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53OK. Louise.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54See if we can turn this around now.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59In the human body, by what name is the oesophagus also known?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I would say...
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Well, it's where your food goes down,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08so I would say it was the intestine.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Or is it? Could be the gullet.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yeah, it's not intestine, I'm afraid.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- The gullet, isn't it? Yeah. - Gullet is the answer.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18OK, Lisa, your question.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Which of these was invented first?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I don't think there's much in it for any of them, actually.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Erm, no, that's a complete lie. Ignore I said that.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33There's a little puddle on the desk where Barry's weeping.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Right.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Galileo with a telescope?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Which would sort of mean it would have to be first, really.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Telescope.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Telescope is the right answer, well done.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK, Louise -
0:11:47 > 0:11:51which of these is a type of dolphin, native to UK waters?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Daubenton is a bat, muntjac is a deer,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00so that would leave the bottlenose.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Yeah, absolutely right, bottlenose is right.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06So, Lisa, your third question,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08if you get this right you will be in the final.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11The extinct Gigantopithecus was a giant version
0:12:11 > 0:12:13of which type of animal?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19The pithecus part, it's to do, I think,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21with an early ape in that case.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26So I will try, with the pithecus ending, ape.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Ape is right. Three out of three, Lisa.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Louise, sorry, that first slip was fatal.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36And you've been knocked out there.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It's not the end of the road for the Challengers,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41they've got another round, and then the final, you can still win.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Louise, Lisa, please return to us.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47So, Big Fat Stupid Quizzers have lost three brains now
0:12:47 > 0:12:50from the final round, the Eggheads...
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Yep, all five of them, still there.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Now's your chance to get one out.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Music is the subject.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59So, it's Giles or Harold.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- Well.- Well, Giles.- To quote a famous film, you are our only hope.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I'll do Music.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10You'll do Music?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Oh, I see, so you're going to leave Harold for the final?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Yes!- Very interesting. I'm finally working this out.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18So, it's going to be Giles on Music
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and you've got to choose now, either Barry or Chris.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Ooh, Barry or Chris?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I'm going to go for Chris.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Giles from Big Fat Stupid Quizzers
0:13:26 > 0:13:29to play Chris, on Music, from the Eggheads.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32And to ensure there's no conferring, please, for the last time,
0:13:32 > 0:13:33go to our Question Room.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Are we OK on Music then, Giles?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Is this going to be the round where we turn it around?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40I hope so.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45My music knowledge is varied, but we'll see.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Giles, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I think I shall go first.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Here we go.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I Got A Feeling was a UK number-one hit single for which band?
0:14:01 > 0:14:07Well, it rings a bell as being...
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I think it rings a bell as being the Black Eyed Peas,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11but I'm not entirely sure.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13We'll go for Black Eyed Peas.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Don't worry, you're right, it is Black Eyed Peas,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18will.i.am and all that. Well done.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Here's your question, Chris -
0:14:19 > 0:14:22what is the real name of the singer Rihanna?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Well, Stefani Germanotta is Lady Gaga.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33She's a fairly exotic lady, isn't she, from Brazil,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36so I think her name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Ooh.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I'm thinking that might be Lorde, but I don't know. Is that Lorde?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- It's Lorde.- Yeah.- So that's, you've gone wrong there, Chris.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- It's Robyn Fenty.- It's Robyn Fenty.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- Oh.- Yeah. She's from Barbados, isn't she?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Comes from Barbados, Chris. - Barbados?- Yeah, not Brazil.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52All right, Giles -
0:14:52 > 0:14:56which man, born in 1975, co-produced Amy Whitehouse's
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Back To Black and won three Grammys for his work on the album?
0:15:05 > 0:15:11Well, I know Rick Rubin produced various hip-hop things.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Pharrell Williams is synonymous with hip-hop,
0:15:14 > 0:15:15and various pop music,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19My answer would be Mark Ronson.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Yes, absolutely, Mark Ronson is the answer.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Well done.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27So you're ahead and, Chris, this is a bit of a pickle now.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29You've got to get this one right to stay in.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Which member of the Beatles wrote the song Here Comes The Sun?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38One of my favourite Beatles songs, it's by George Harrison.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It is indeed by George Harrison, well done.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42So, you've saved yourself there,
0:15:42 > 0:15:46but you can, as they say, Giles, finish this now.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50What was the first name of the Italian composer Monteverdi?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Born in 1567.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Ah, this...
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Classical music, really not my area.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04For no other reason,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07it just sounds slightly better, I'm going to go for Francesco.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09- Eggheads?- Claudio.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Claudio is the answer.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Claudio, all right. Now, Chris, this is in your hands,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18you can come back into it with this question.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21The musician Itzhak Perlman is most associated
0:16:21 > 0:16:23with which stringed instrument?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Itzhak Perlman was a virtuoso on the violin.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Violin is quite right.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34We're level. Tense here.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36So, Giles, it's Sudden Death now.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternative options, OK?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Here's your question - which American singer-songwriter,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46born in 1936, and who later became a member of the band
0:16:46 > 0:16:50The Travelling Wilburys, was nicknamed The Big O?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54That would be Roy Orbison.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Roy Orbison is right.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Sudden Death.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Cliff-edged stuff, this, for Chris.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Which Australian, female, chart-topping singer
0:17:04 > 0:17:10duetted with Nick Cave on the 1995 single Where The Wild Roses Grow?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Got to be Kylie Minogue.- Ugh!
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Kylie Minogue is right.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Just a guess!- Back with you, Giles.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Which band had a UK number-one single with Maria in 1999,
0:17:22 > 0:17:2520 years after their first UK number one?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27That would be Blondie.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- Yes!- Yeah, Blondie, quite right, with Debbie Harry.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Chris, to stay in.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Which bass guitarist born in Oxfordshire in 1960
0:17:36 > 0:17:39became famous as a member of U2?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Well he's known as The Edge, I don't know what his real name is.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I'd say The Edge.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49The Edge is not a bass guitarist. He plays lead guitar.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Uh-huh.- Adam Clayton is who we're looking for.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Well done, Giles.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56We're on our way here! Yes.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59So, we do have a second Challenger in the final, that's good.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Well done, Giles, you took on Chris, you knocked him out.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06So, come back to us and we'll play the final round for £2,000.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13It is time for the final round and, as always, it's General Knowledge.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:18:16 > 0:18:18don't take part in this round.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21So that is, from the Challengers side, Louise, Lou and Ruth,
0:18:21 > 0:18:22from Big Fat Stupid Quizzers.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26But also Chris, known as The Steamroller, from the Eggheads.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Would you please leave the studio?
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Giles and Harold, you are playing to win Big Fat Stupid Quizzers £2,000.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Lisa, Steve, Barry and Kevin, you're playing for something
0:18:36 > 0:18:40that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44They're all General Knowledge.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46You can confer, gentlemen.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48So, Challengers, the question is,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51can your two brains defeat these four over here?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53And would you like to go first or second?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I think we'll go first.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Harold, Giles, good luck. Here we go.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Which film star shares her name with a non-alcoholic cocktail,
0:19:06 > 0:19:07typically made of ginger ale,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10grenadine and garnished with a cherry?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Shirley Temple.- Is it?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Shirley Temple is a nonalcoholic cocktail.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Are we sure it's Shirley Temple? - Yeah, Shirley Temple.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Shirley Temple is the right answer, well done.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23OK, Eggs -
0:19:23 > 0:19:27what name is given to the space between the thumb and forefinger
0:19:27 > 0:19:28in the human hand?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Must be a purlicue, whatever one of them is.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Hallux is a big toe.- Hallux, yes.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Glabella is that bit there, were the eyebrows meet.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Never heard of that before. - That leaves purlicue, doesn't it?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Well, hallux is the big toe and glabella is where the eyebrows meet,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48so that leaves purlicue.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49- Purlicue is right. - Never heard of it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Never heard of it? No-one's ever said,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53"I'm going to grab you by the purlicue"?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Or lived to tell the tale! - In so many words, no, no.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58It's not one of the holds we've used here.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59One each. Challengers -
0:19:59 > 0:20:03which Roman emperor is the subject of a statue
0:20:03 > 0:20:05that stands outside York Minster?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I've been to York Minster loads of times,
0:20:11 > 0:20:15but for the life of me I cannot remember who it is.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I've got a feeling that, because he was...
0:20:20 > 0:20:23..because he has quite a strong connection with York,
0:20:23 > 0:20:27in that, when he came to the throne, he was at York...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I think it's Constantine.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Constantine is correct.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Well done, Harold.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Eggheads - which football ground,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40with a capacity of over 50,000, has stands called
0:20:40 > 0:20:44the Broomloan Road Stand, the Sandy Jardine Stand,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46and the Copland Road Stand?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54It's got to be Ibrox, surely. Sandy Jardine.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57He was famously associated with Rangers.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58- So...- Yeah.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Well, we're sure that Sandy Jardine was associated with Rangers,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04who play at Ibrox, so Ibrox is our answer.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05- Ibrox is right.- Well done, guys.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Playing well, you're both playing well.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09OK, third question for you, Challengers.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13What word from the Greek for summit or finishing touch is the name given
0:21:13 > 0:21:17to a publisher's emblem or imprint on the title page of a book?
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Xenophon is a general and then a historian and wrote the Anabasis.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32Bellerophon was a mythological hero, more or less.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33So, which leaves,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and I think colophon is some sort of publisher's mark.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I think it's the only one that's sprung to mind as
0:21:38 > 0:21:40involved in publishing, but I haven't got a clue.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- You're the man that would know. - Yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43So I'd say, yeah, colophon.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46OK. As you were saying all of that, Harold,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I could hear the Eggheads going "Ooh, ooh!"
0:21:49 > 0:21:52They suddenly realised they've got a quizzer on their hands here.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Colophon is the right answer, three out of three.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Are you about to take them apart for the second time in three games?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Let's see. Eggheads, your question.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04If you get this wrong, it's over.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Crispus Attucks, who died during what is known as
0:22:07 > 0:22:11the Boston Massacre, is widely held to be the first person to die
0:22:11 > 0:22:12in which conflict?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19US Revolution?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Yep, we're all agreed on that?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Yes, we're all agreed on this one,
0:22:23 > 0:22:24we all believe it's the US Revolution.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Very good. US Revolution is the right answer.- Well done, guys.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Three out of three for you both. No-one's broken a sweat yet.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34What will happen in Sudden Death?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Here is your question, Challengers -
0:22:38 > 0:22:41the Central Criminal Court in London,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43commonly known as the Old Bailey,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46was partially built on the site of which medieval prison?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52The only medieval prison that I can think of,
0:22:52 > 0:22:56about the time that the Old Bailey would have been built,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I would think, would be Newgate, but I might be wrong.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Just all I can think is Newgate.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05So therefore, I'm going to say Newgate.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Newgate Jail is correct.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Eggheads. Game on here, aren't we? - Absolutely.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19The construction of which major building in Barcelona has a
0:23:19 > 0:23:25planned completion date of 2026, the centenary of its architect's death?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- Sagrada Familia.- Sagrada Familia. - Must be.- Yeah.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34It's Gaudi's wonderful Sagrada Familia.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Sagrada Familia is correct.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Back to you, Sudden Death.
0:23:39 > 0:23:45The Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto composed the original score
0:23:45 > 0:23:48for which 1983 film featuring David Bowie?
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Nicholas Roeg.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52What year again, sorry?
0:23:52 > 0:23:541983.
0:23:54 > 0:23:561983, David Bowie.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59No, you're thinking of The Man Who Fell To Earth,
0:23:59 > 0:24:00which is '70s, wasn't it?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Labyrinth?- No!- No, hang on.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- I think I know what it is.- Go on.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- What do you think it is? - Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Oh, right, yes! Of course it is.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Ah.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Yes.- Yes.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18I think it is Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21It is indeed Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, you're playing brilliantly.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Back to the Eggheads. Something's going to give soon.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Which side is it going to be on?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27The name of which Jules Verne character
0:24:27 > 0:24:29literally means "goes everywhere",
0:24:29 > 0:24:33but is also that term for a skeleton or master key.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Passepartout.- Passepartout.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39OK, we think it's from Around The World In 80 Days
0:24:39 > 0:24:41and the character is Passepartout.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Passepartout is correct.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Challengers - the nickname of
0:24:47 > 0:24:50which country's women's national football team
0:24:50 > 0:24:53translates literally as Girls Girls?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58It's a bit of a guess and it's not based on anything other than
0:24:58 > 0:25:01thinking that the South African men's football team
0:25:01 > 0:25:03is known as The Boys The Boys,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05or Boys Boys or something like that.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10But probably something in, I don't know,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13it's something Zulu or Xhosa or whatever,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16but I would imagine that the women's football team
0:25:16 > 0:25:20would have a similar nickname, so I'm going to say South Africa.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Banyana Banyana, South Africa's right.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Eggheads.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29The seaside village of Walberswick, the venue for the
0:25:29 > 0:25:32British Open Crabbing Championships for many years,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34is in which county?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I think Walberswick's in Suffolk.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Well, if you think that, Kevin, because I've never heard of it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- I'm not certain. - That's the right part of the world.
0:25:42 > 0:25:48Well, we believe East Anglia is famous for crabs, Cromer especially,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50but in this case we're not going from Norfolk,
0:25:50 > 0:25:51we're going for Suffolk.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- The answer is Suffolk. - Well done, Kevin.- Brilliant.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57We play on.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Can you take the stress? This is good, come on!
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Just hold it steady, you're going to overwhelm them,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04they will go wrong at some point, I promise!
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Here we go - which bird of myths and folktales,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10that has the ability to fly backwards,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14was the object of the expedition in the 1970 film
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Carry On Up The Jungle?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Well, what do we know?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20We know the phoenix, obviously, rises from the ashes, blah-blah.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21We know...
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- Ah!- A Roc's just giant, a giant bird.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I've never even heard of that one.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- It's in Marco Polo.- Right.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34We're going to have to say the phoenix, because I don't think
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- we can think of anything else. - Well, we'll say phoenix.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40We're going to have to say phoenix because we can't really think
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- of any other mythical birds. - Phoenix is your answer.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Let me just check with the Eggs here. Eggheads?
