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
0:00:26 > 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 > 0:00:35Now, before we start, Kevin has a teaser for you.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36So, Kevin, what is it?
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Well, it's a film one, and it's about that...
0:00:39 > 0:00:43always shown at Easter almost, classic, The Great Escape.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I'm hoping this isn't giving a spoiler
0:00:45 > 0:00:47because nearly everybody's seen the film.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49But at the end of the film,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53three of the characters successfully do get away.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54So, the question is -
0:00:54 > 0:00:57what are the nationalities of those three characters?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Not the actors, the characters.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02OK, we're going to find out the answer to that
0:01:02 > 0:01:03at the end of the show.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06You don't have to answer that question, Challengers.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Hare Of The Dog from Lancashire. Now, this team battle it out
0:01:12 > 0:01:16every Monday night at the pub quiz in the Hare and Hounds in Blackburn.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Let's meet them.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Hi, I'm John, I'm a semi-retired graphic design lecturer.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hi, my name's Jeff and I'm a wallpaper printer.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Hi, I'm Julian and I'm a supermarket assistant.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Hi, I'm Lee and I'm a quality technician.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Hi, I'm Paul and I'm a wallpaper packer.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35So, John and team, hello.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Hello!- Welcome. You've come together in this pub, John?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Yes, every Monday night.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42We don't play in the same teams,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45so this is the first time we've got together as a quiz team.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And what's the atmosphere like at the pub quiz?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- Competitive.- Good.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- And friendly.- So, you know the show, you know what they're capable of,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- these Eggheads?- Yeah, I'm afraid we do.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57And you like a bit of live comedy John, I know?
0:01:57 > 0:01:58- Yeah, I love it, yes.- Good,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and these five are capable of a bit of comedy from time to time.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02- Not intentional!- Not deliberate.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Not always deliberately!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Are you ready to play?- Yes. - Good stuff.- Definitely.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:09 > 0:02:11up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Hare of the Dog, the Eggheads have won the last three on the trot,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21so they're picking up a bit of speed.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24And it means there's £4,000 for you to win if you can take them down.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- Would you like to try?- Oh, yes!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Good, the first head-to-head battle is on Politics.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31So, one of you against either Dave,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Lisa, Steve, Kevin or Judith.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Politics, chaps?- Politics!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Julian, are we thinking? - Do you want me to have a go at that?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- You want Paul to have a go?- Do you want to have a go at that, Paul?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- It's not our strongest round, is it?- No.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I'll do Politics.- You sacrifice yourself for the team?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Yes, I'll sacrifice myself. - All right, Paul.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Choose an Egghead.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Who looks vulnerable?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Never easy, never easy.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Who looks vulnerable? Lisa.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Lisa looks vulnerable. - Oh, straight into the comedy, yeah!
0:03:01 > 0:03:05So, Paul from Hare of the Dog versus Lisa from the Eggheads on Politics.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08But to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions now
0:03:08 > 0:03:10in our legendary Question Room.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14So, Paul, you are a wallpaper packer.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15That's correct, Jeremy.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Meaning you work in a warehouse, do you?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20No, I work on the actual shop floor of the factory.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I work on the finished end of the machine,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24as the wallpaper is made and comes through.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29And I wind it, put it in to wrap it and then put it into boxes.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Fantastic, and so many different varieties these days,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- aren't there?- Yes, yes, there certainly is.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37The way you print them as well, the machinery is so advanced.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Yes, you may be better speaking to Jeff about that
0:03:41 > 0:03:43but we have lots of...
0:03:43 > 0:03:46We have gravure printing and we have screen printing at work.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Does it go off all over the world or over the UK, or just locally?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52No, it's all over the world. We have offices all over the world now.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54All right, I can't hang wallpaper, that's for sure.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I tried once and it was an absolute disaster.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59So, Politics, Paul. Would you like to go first or second?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Second, please, Jeremy.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Here we go.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Lisa, in 2010, Amber Rudd became the MP for Hastings and Rye,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12representing which political party?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Amber Rudd is a Conservative.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21That's right. All right, Paul, your first question.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24The EEC, a forerunner of the European Union,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26was founded in which year?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Oh, that's tough.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I would think '37's too early.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39'87's too... I'll go for '57.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Yes, absolutely, 1957, well done.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- Well done, Paul.- Good start.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45All right, Lisa. Which British Prime Minister
0:04:45 > 0:04:48has been criticised for what critics have referred to as
0:04:48 > 0:04:52their sofa government style of decision making whilst in office?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Well, sofa government sort of implies a cosy,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02"What do you think? What do you think? What do you think?"
0:05:02 > 0:05:05style of consultation.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I can't really make that work with Margaret Thatcher.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Or she'd have been known as the Velvet Lady.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I'm not really liking it for Tony Blair either.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I could be wrong, but I will try David Cameron.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- How interesting.- It is Blair, then.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Well, it absolutely is Blair. It was the big thing about him.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- I didn't know that.- The Chilcot Inquiry and all kinds of stuff found
0:05:29 > 0:05:32that he didn't really listen to people outside his close circle.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Tony Blair is the answer.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36OK, Paul, your question.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40In 2007, who did the Lib Dem MP Vince Cable say had undergone
0:05:40 > 0:05:43a remarkable transformation in the past few weeks
0:05:43 > 0:05:45from Stalin to Mr Bean?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50That's...
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Politics isn't my strongest subject, I'm afraid.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58But I'm going to go for Gordon Brown.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00You're absolutely right, it was Gordon Brown,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02cos he was Prime Minister.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Unforgettable line, he's pulled ahead here, Lisa.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Your question. What was the name of the controversial honours list
0:06:09 > 0:06:13that was announced by Harold Wilson following his resignation in 1976?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I've heard of the Lilac List.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25And I looked at Lavender List and thought, oh, hang on...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Perhaps it's that. I'm sure I've heard of the Lilac List, though.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I think on balance, I will go with the Lilac List.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Oh, you're having a 'mare.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- Oh, it's the Lavender List? - Yeah, it is.- Oh, man!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I think it's Marcia Falkender, is that who it was?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Judith, you explain to us what this is.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Well, it was drawn up by Marcia Falkender.- Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45On lavender-coloured writing paper.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- And she was his adviser, secretary? - Secretary. Yes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Right, Lavender List is the answer, Lisa. You've been knocked out.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Paul, what about that? You've taken on an Egghead, you've won.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- That's unbelievable. - You've just done it!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Made it look easy, on Politics as well.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Lisa, you're out of the final round.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- If you're going to tank it, tank it in style.- Yeah, why not?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Come back to us, please, and rejoin your teams.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Good start for Hare of the Dog.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- They're cheering in the pub, no doubt about it.- They will be!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13So, you've not lost any brains from the final round.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Well done, Paul. And the Eggheads have lost Lisa.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18The next subject, guys, is Music.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21So, John, who wants this?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- There's a few of you on music. Which?- Either Jeff or Lee.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- I'm happy to go for it.- I think you're better off, Jeff, aren't you?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Yeah.- Yes?
0:07:29 > 0:07:30It's either me or Jeff.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Sounds good.- I think Jeff.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Jeff.- OK, Jeff, good, I can continue my wallpaper questions.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- I've got stuff to ask you. - You're on a roll!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Yeah, I'm on a roll! Who said that? That was brilliant!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45That's the best joke we've had on Eggheads
0:07:45 > 0:07:47for the last 700 programmes!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50OK, Jeff, who do you want to take on?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51I'm thinking Judith.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Music?- Yes. Judith.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55All right, Jeff from Hare of the Dog versus
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Judith from the Eggheads. Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Good luck, Jeff.- Thank you, Jeremy.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04And you're another wallpaper maker, so we can now do
0:08:04 > 0:08:07all our wallpaper questions we've always wanted to know.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Do you do flock wallpaper still?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Very rarely. It's something that we tend to send out
0:08:12 > 0:08:14to other manufacturers.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Are there different textures that come off the printer
0:08:17 > 0:08:20or does it just print onto the same material all the time?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23No, no, many, many, varied, different textures
0:08:23 > 0:08:26using different papers or substrates.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Quite a complicated process.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31We use what we call rotary screen printing.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- And how big are the machines? They must be enormous.- Very, very large.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39From the start of the machine to the finishing end where Paul works,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42it's probably the size of two football pitches.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Wow! Two football pitches, can you imagine?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47That's incredible. All right, Music, Jeff.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53I'll take Paul's lead and I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59All right, Judith, your question.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02The stage musical My Fair Lady is set in which city?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Well, it's in London.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- London is correct.- Yes. - Were you doubtful?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Well, it seemed to be so obvious, I was doubtful.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Yeah. Jeff, your question. Who's played the drums
0:09:16 > 0:09:19in the Rolling Stones for over 50 years?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I'm pretty sure it's Charlie Watts.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27It is indeed Charlie Watts.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Absolutely, Keith Richards...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Well, the other two are both guitarists.- Guitarists,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- lead guitar, rhythm guitar. - Somebody told me that...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I think I was watching a documentary on the Stones,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39that the unusual thing about them is you don't have a rhythm section of
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Charlie Watts playing with the bassist, who had been Bill Wyman.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's just Keith Richards and Charlie Watts,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47and Charlie Watts plays along with Keith Richards.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Isn't that interesting? Completely different way of...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Probably safer than trying to get Keith Richards to follow anyone,
0:09:53 > 0:09:54- I should think.- Yeah, possibly.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Judith, "Is it my imagination
0:09:56 > 0:10:00"or have I finally found something worth living for?"
0:10:00 > 0:10:02are the opening lines to which Britpop song?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I'm just trying to relate it to the titles.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Well, I think it would be
0:10:15 > 0:10:18either Cigarettes And Alcohol or Connection...
0:10:19 > 0:10:22..relating it to the titles. And I think
0:10:22 > 0:10:27I'm going to say Connection because I think that sounds more likely.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- No, it's not.- Parklife.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32No, it's not Parklife, that's different, it's the other one.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- It's Cigarettes And Alcohol by Oasis.- Oh, right.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Challengers, this is good!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39If you get this right, Jeff, you'll take the lead.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44More Life is a 2017 album by which recording artist?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Not my favourite genre.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I don't think it's Beyonce.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I'm going to plump for Drake.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Let's see whether the Challengers know. Is he right?- I think so.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Yes, you're right, well done, Jeff. You've taken the lead.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Oh, Judith.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- You're on the edge as well here. - Hmm.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13Anything You Can Do and Cheek To Cheek are songs written by whom?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20# Anything you can do I can do better. #
0:11:21 > 0:11:22I think it's Cole Porter.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- No!- Eggheads?- Annie Get Your Gun, it's Irving Berlin.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Annie Get Your Gun, it's Irving Berlin.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Oh, blast!- Judith, that was...
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I thought that was your home territory, that.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- You've gone as well. - No, it's before my time!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38What is going on? We've got a bit of a batting collapse here.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Judith is out as well. Well done, Jeff,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43you took on an Egghead and you won, there's no way back for her.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44- So, you're in the final round. - Thank you.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48This is looking a bit lively, isn't it? 2-0.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Come back, we'll play round three.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Well, what's happening here?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- John?- Bit of a pasting.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Pasting!- Getting a bit of a pasting, Eggheads.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59They're all coming out now!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Yeah, every time you lose a round, we're having a pun.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05As it stands, Hare of the Dog have not lost any brains
0:12:05 > 0:12:06from the final round,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08the Eggheads have lost two.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It's just mayhem over there!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12The next subject is Sport.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- So, who would like this? - It's got to be...
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Shall I take Sport? - Lee, I think.- It's Lee.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Lee or Julian, isn't it? - Do you want to take Sport?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- I'll take Sport, Jeremy.- OK, Lee.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Bit of confidence here in the challenging team.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27And you can take on either Dave, Steve or Kevin.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I'll have a try at Steve, I think.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33All right, Lee from Hare of the Dog playing Steve on Sport.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Is this a turning point for the Eggheads
0:12:35 > 0:12:37or is the rout going to get even worse,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39and we're going to unload another pun?
0:12:39 > 0:12:43To ensure there's no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47All right, Lee, I know you don't work in a wallpaper yourself,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51but we're starting to stack up a lot of wallpaper related lines here.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Yeah.- John says he can see a pattern developing.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Oh!- He's good at those, is John!
0:12:56 > 0:13:01So, if you can knock out Steve, you really are starting to press them.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Would you like to go first or second on Sport?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I'll carry on and do what the other boys have done.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06I'll go second, Jeremy.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Eggheads having an awful day today, let's see.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Steve, your question. In 2016,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18which female tennis player surpassed Roger Federer's record
0:13:18 > 0:13:23for the most number of matches won in singles Grand Slam events?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30If it's 2016, Jeremy, it must be Serena Williams,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- I'd have thought.- Serena is right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Serena Williams. OK,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37back to you, Lee. In 1997,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41which Spanish golfer became the first person from outside the UK
0:13:41 > 0:13:43to captain Europe's Ryder Cup team?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Golf I'm not very strong on, Jeremy,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57but I think it would be too early for Sergio Garcia.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02Olazabal, I don't think so, I'm going to go for Seve Ballesteros.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The much missed Ballesteros is the right answer.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Seve Ballesteros.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09One each. Steve, back to you.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Kevin De Bruyne has represented which country
0:14:12 > 0:14:13in international football?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Kevin De Bruyne...
0:14:17 > 0:14:19That's Belgium, Jeremy.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20It is Belgium, well done.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22OK, Lee.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26The married couple Chris and Gabby Adcock won gold medals
0:14:26 > 0:14:29at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in which sport?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Hmm, could you repeat that question, Jeremy, please?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40The married couple Chris and Gabby Adcock won gold medals
0:14:40 > 0:14:43at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in which sport?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Really not sure. Um...
0:14:50 > 0:14:53But I shall have a stab at figure skating.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Eggheads, do we know?- Badminton. - Badminton is the answer.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Badminton, all right...
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Steve, get this right, you're in the final round.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Emmitt Smith, born in Florida in 1969,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08is a famous name in which sport?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Emmitt Smith.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15What was the year again, sorry, Jeremy?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Born in Florida in 1969.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I don't think it's ice hockey,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23and I don't recognise his name in athletics.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27I'm going to try American football.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29If you've got this right, you're in the final round.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31American football is the right answer, Steve.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Well done, three out of three. Sorry, Lee.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Knocked out by our Egghead, they're just pushing back now.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Return to us, one more round to play before the final.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44As it stands, Hare of the Dog have lost one brain from the final round.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45The Eggheads have lost two.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Still behind and let's see what this round brings, it's Geography.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53So, get another Egghead out, you've got a good chance in the final.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54- Who wants this?- It's up to you.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Julian?- Do you want me to take it?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00No, how do you feel about it?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I think you should stay in the final.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I think we should save Julian for the final.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Yeah, I think I'll take a hit for the team there.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10OK, John. Great stuff, against which Egghead?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12And there's only two left, it's Dave or Kevin.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- It's got to be Kevin.- All right,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16John from Hare of the Dog to take on Kevin,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19the Grand Master from the Eggheads on Geography.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20And please go to the Question Room.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Well, we've got no end of wallpaper puns now, John.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28You're facing the most decorated Egghead.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Oh!- All right, so, John, good luck against Kevin, here we go.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Get this round under your belt, who knows?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Geography, do you want to go first or second?
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Go first, I think.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Here we go with your first question.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48The Golden Gate Bridge lies on the northern edge of which US city?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53OK, well, it's not Chicago.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Neither do I think it's Los Angeles, I'm going to go for San Francisco,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Jeremy.- San Francisco is quite right.- Come on!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Kevin, in which part of the world
0:17:04 > 0:17:06is the historic town of Jericho?
0:17:09 > 0:17:15Well, it's in the West Bank area of, well, Israel-Palestine.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Anyway, it's Middle East.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Middle East is correct.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21OK, back to you, John.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Harlem is an area in which New York borough?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Well, it's not Staten Island.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I've been to New York about 20 times.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Brooklyn, it's not Brooklyn either.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40It's on Manhattan Island.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Manhattan is quite right, well done.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Go on, John!- Good play, two to you.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47One to Kevin. Kevin, your question.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Which of these UK cities is the most northerly?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Right, OK. Well...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Sometimes you have to be a bit careful with this sort of question
0:18:00 > 0:18:03because of the curvature of the Earth,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06but in this case, I'm pretty sure it's Aberdeen.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Yes, it's Aberdeen. Back to you, John, for your third question.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15The flag of which African country features a silk cotton tree,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18also known as the God tree, in the centre?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Hmm...
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I knew it was too good to last!
0:18:26 > 0:18:27I'm not sure.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34I'm going to take a punt on this and say...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36..Equatorial Guinea.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Equatorial Guinea, let's see if the Challengers know, Challengers?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41We'd have guessed at Lesotho, I think.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Lesotho, I'm trying to visualise.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Kevin, can you help us with Lesotho's flag?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Well, the Lesotho flag has changed a few times in the last few decades.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's got a symbol in it, but it's essentially
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- a traditional tribal hat.- Yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56The one that's got the tree is Equatorial Guinea.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Equatorial Guinea is the right answer.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Good play! Well, he's played well there, three out of three, Kevin.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Under pressure now. Got to paper over the cracks here.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10- Ah!- The limestone formations, known as pancake rocks,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13are a feature of which country?
0:19:16 > 0:19:17You've got me there.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I really don't know, I don't think I've heard of those.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Hmm...
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Limestone.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Without having heard of them,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29it's obviously going to come down to a one in three.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- I'll try Ireland.- Ireland...
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Because there are some big limestone...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I'm worried about that because I thought maybe I would have heard it.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43But I can't get anything from it at all.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Yeah. It's on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, Kevin,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50you've been knocked out. Well done, John! Oh, I say,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I say, I say! This is now...
0:19:53 > 0:19:54..very, very lively.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58OK, we have sadly at this point run out of wallpaper puns completely.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01But, John, you've taken on maybe THE Egghead and you've knocked him out,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03which is great news for you in the final.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Please come back and we'll play it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Well, Challengers, you are giving them a pasting at the moment
0:20:09 > 0:20:11and this is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14It is time for the final round. As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16It's set in a really interesting way now,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19because those who lost your head to heads are not allowed to take part.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22So, that is Lee from Hare of the Dog,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26but it is also Lisa, Kevin and Judith from The Eggheads.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Please leave the studio.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31John, Jeff, Julian and Paul,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34you are playing to win Hare of the Dog £4,000.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Dave and Steve, you're playing in a last ditch effort here
0:20:37 > 0:20:39to defend the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45They're all General Knowledge and you can confer.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Gents, so, Hare of the Dog, the question is,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51can your four brains finish off these two over here?
0:20:51 > 0:20:52You know it won't be easy.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Good luck, do you want to go first or second?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I think we'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03So, we start with you, Eggheads, Steve and Dave.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Which celebrity chef named his fifth child River Rocket in August 2016?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Jamie Oliver's got five kids, hasn't he?- If we're talking daft names,
0:21:15 > 0:21:16- it's got to be. - Also five kids as well.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- I don't think the other two have five kids.- Yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20So, we're happy with Jamie Oliver?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Happy with that, mate.- Can we have Jamie Oliver, please?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Jamie Oliver's the right answer.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27OK, over to you. Who replaced Sam Allardyce
0:21:27 > 0:21:31as the manager of Sunderland Football Club in July 2016?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- David...- Yeah, Moyes definitely.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- David Moyes, yes.- 100%?- Yes.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We think it's David Moyes, Jeremy.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46David Moyes is correct, one each.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48We go back to the Eggheads.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53The Altamira Cave, renowned for its wall and ceiling paintings,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56is located in which European country?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Spain.- Spain. - I thought it was Spain.- Yeah.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04We believe that to be Spain, Jeremy.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07It's good, you both know it. Spain is right.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Challengers, which band
0:22:10 > 0:22:15whose lead singer Larry Blackman wore a trademark red codpiece,
0:22:15 > 0:22:20had a UK hit single with Word Up in 1986?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- Cameo.- Cameo?- Yeah, Cameo.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28We're all agreed on Cameo, Jeremy.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Cameo's right. Well done! I've never heard of Cameo.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33This is terrible, I guess we could have ruled...
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Dave, you and I like the same music,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36we could have ruled out the other two.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Errol Brown's Hot Chocolate and Jimmy...
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Oh, Commodores! No, Lionel Richie.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42But what was Cameo, then?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Cameo was the one with the codpiece,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46and I think when it was on Top Of The Pops,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48it attracted some of the biggest complaints.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- OK! I have to look that up.- Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53All right, so two each.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Third question, Eggheads.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58The actress Judy Loe,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02whose roles include Jan Goddard in Casualty and Holby City
0:23:02 > 0:23:05is the mother of which successful film actress?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Judy Loe, spelt L-O-E.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12It's Kate Beckinsale, yeah,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- cos it's Richard Beckinsale's widow, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Yeah, so Kate Beckinsale.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19The answer's Kate Beckinsale, please, Jeremy.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You're playing in a very sure-footed way.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Kate Beckinsale is the right answer.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25So far, defending the money, the £4,000.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28You need this to stay in, Challengers.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Don't let it end here, after everything you've done.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37The University of Notre Dame, or "Noter Dame", is in which US state?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42- It's not Alabama.- No.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Take your time.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Because it's the Catholics... Oh!
0:23:47 > 0:23:49More leaning towards...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I'm leaning towards Indiana.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Are you?- But I don't know...
0:23:53 > 0:23:54For what reason?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58It's a big Catholic place, but I don't know, Rhode Island.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- It's on that bit.- We're ruling out
0:24:01 > 0:24:02- Alabama?- Alabama's not...
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I haven't heard of it in Rhode Island.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Well, I think it's Indiana.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- Do you want to...? - That would be my...
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- OK.- Not 100%.- No, no.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14We'll go 50-50 on that.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16We're not 100%,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19but I think we're going to go for Indiana.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Indiana is your answer.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Is this the end of the contest?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25If you've got it wrong, it is.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26It's not Alabama,
0:24:26 > 0:24:27you were right to rule that out.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Eggheads, do you know?- It's Indiana.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Indiana is the right answer.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Yes!- Well done. So, three questions each and the scores level.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36This is a great contest today.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38We go to Sudden Death.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It gets a bit harder because it's not multiple-choice.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44And we start with you, Eggheads. Steve and Dave.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Which prestigious prize did Jean-Paul Sartre decline
0:24:47 > 0:24:49in October 1964,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52explaining that he always refused official distinctions
0:24:52 > 0:24:55and did not want to be institutionalised?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Nobel Prize for Literature, isn't it?- Don't need to say a word, mate.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Yeah, are you happy with that? - I'm very happy with that.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04We believe that's the Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Completely right, well done, Dave.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Nobel Prize for Literature.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11This is the trouble with going second!
0:25:11 > 0:25:14You're on the back foot a bit, but you've not misstepped so far,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16that's for sure. So, your question.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21Which chemical element, discovered in 1843, has the symbol Er?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Where's Lee when you want him?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Even Lee'd struggle on this.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Er.- Do you remember the one? Well...
0:25:28 > 0:25:32It's a fantastic answer, Einsteinium wouldn't come in, would it?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I've a feeling that Einsteinium was 1910 or something like that.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Could it be named after Ernest Rutherford,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43could it be Rutherfordium or something like that?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45At that time, yes.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Is there such a thing? - I think there is.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- I could be making it...- Well, I don't think it's Einsteinium,
0:25:51 > 0:25:52so I think we'll go with that one.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55It's Er for Ernest Rutherford, I don't know if it's Rutherford,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- I don't know if there's...- I don't think we're going to get this.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I don't think we'll come up with owt else, so...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03No, we haven't got anything else, I'm afraid.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Right? Yeah, go on.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07It's a shot in the dark, this, Jeremy,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10but I think we're going to go for Rutherfordium.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Rutherfordium?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16OK. Now, if you've got it wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Let's just work through this.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Eggheads, don't say the answer, but Rutherfordium
0:26:21 > 0:26:23we had come up the other day. Is that Ru?
0:26:23 > 0:26:28- Rm.- Rf, I think.- Rf, And now they mentioned Einsteinium or...
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- That's Es.- Es, do you know what Er is?
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- Erbium.- The answer is erbium on the periodic table.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39And that answer means I have to say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41You have won.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Played well.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Always helps a little bit when they know it,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49cos I always think if it was the other way round,
0:26:49 > 0:26:50it wouldn't have caught them.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53But erbium, is that radioactive or what?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Do we know?- It's one of these four elements that was discovered
0:26:56 > 0:26:59in a Swedish village called Ytterby, and they all took the name from it,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02like ytterbium, and terbium and erbium.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I can't tell you much more about it, to be fair.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06OK, well, that's quite a lot to know.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Eggheads, they are good even when there are just two of them.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Certainly are.- You've been a brilliant team of challengers.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14My goodness, you just whipped through them in the early stages.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Knocked out Kevin. But in the end, the final round,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18this last-ditch defence has been successful.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19We say commiserations.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I hope you've enjoyed it.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Fantastic.- Thank you.- We loved learning about the wallpaper.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27We needed a wallpaper-related team name, I think.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29So, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:29 > 0:27:32and here they are, reigning supreme over quiz land.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35It does mean that you won't be going home with the £4,000,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37so the money rolls over to our next show.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Eggheads, well done.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Who will beat you?
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Now, Kevin, you had a question.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It was about The Great Escape
0:27:43 > 0:27:46and the nationalities of the three characters
0:27:46 > 0:27:49who successfully get away at the end of the film.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53The tricky bit is that two of them are played by American actors,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56but they weren't playing Americans.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00So, one of the three was British, played by John Leyton,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02pop singer and actor.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Another was Polish, played by Charles Bronson.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09And the third one, with an extremely dodgy accent,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12was Australian played by James Coburn.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14OK, brilliant question, brilliant answer.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:18 > 0:28:20to bring this run the Eggheads are on to an end.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22There'll be £5,000 to play for.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Until then, goodbye.
