These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:07

Together, they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:090:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:110:00:14

The question is, can they be beaten?

0:00:170:00:19

Welcome to Eggheads,

0:00:230:00:24

the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits against

0:00:240:00:28

possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain. Here they are -

0:00:280:00:30

the Eggheads.

0:00:300:00:32

And when we said, "Can they be beaten?" I said, "Yes, they can,"

0:00:320:00:34

-and you said, Judith...

-"No, they can't."

0:00:340:00:36

They can't. They don't believe that they're beatable at the moment.

0:00:360:00:39

The stakes are high here. Taking on our awesome quiz champions today

0:00:390:00:42

are Too Tricky 5 Me from Glasgow.

0:00:420:00:44

Now, this team has been brought together by team captain Shazia,

0:00:440:00:47

who has enlisted the help of friends and family to take on the Eggheads.

0:00:470:00:50

Let's meet them.

0:00:500:00:51

Hello, my name is Shazia, and I am a primary teacher.

0:00:510:00:54

Hello, my name is Ayaz, and I'm an accounting student.

0:00:540:00:57

Hiya, I'm Abdul, and I'm a part-time cashier.

0:00:570:01:01

Hi, I'm Connor, and I'm a data handler.

0:01:010:01:03

Hello, I'm Aswad, and I'm an accounts assistant.

0:01:030:01:06

So, Shazia and team, hello.

0:01:060:01:08

-Hello, Jeremy.

-Great to see you all. And I know you're all

0:01:080:01:11

kind of connected in some way to each other, Shazia.

0:01:110:01:13

-That's correct. Yes.

-Friends, family?

0:01:130:01:15

Well, he's my brother, and we're friends through the school,

0:01:150:01:19

and that's some of my brother's work friends.

0:01:190:01:20

And Too Tricky 5 Me is because it is too tricky "FOUR" you?

0:01:200:01:23

-For us! But there's five of us. So it's too tricky.

-I've got it.

0:01:230:01:27

I just thought I should have asked.

0:01:270:01:29

It was kind of obvious, wasn't it, Eggs?

0:01:290:01:30

I can hear them all tutting away at my questions.

0:01:300:01:33

-All the time. You're a teacher?

-I am.

-Do you love it?

0:01:330:01:36

-I love it.

-Tell us about the school you're in.

0:01:360:01:38

It's in Thornwood Primary School, it's in Partick,

0:01:380:01:40

and I have a wonderful class.

0:01:400:01:42

And they wanted me to give them a shout out, so hello, P6!

0:01:420:01:45

-P6?

-P6, yeah.

-OK.

0:01:450:01:47

Right, win it for P6, yeah?

0:01:470:01:48

-Well, hopefully.

-Good luck, guys, good luck.

0:01:480:01:51

Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:01:510:01:53

for our Challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:530:01:57

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:570:01:59

So, Too Tricky 5 Me,

0:01:590:02:00

the Eggheads had a bit of a bashing a few games ago, but they've got

0:02:000:02:03

back into their stride. They've won the last two.

0:02:030:02:06

They're building up a run here.

0:02:060:02:07

You've got to stop them, and there's £3,000 if you do.

0:02:070:02:10

-Are you ready to play?

-Yes, we are.

0:02:100:02:12

Fantastic. The first head-to-head battle will be on Music.

0:02:120:02:16

Shazia, who would like this? You can take on either Judith, Chris, Pat,

0:02:160:02:19

-Steve, or Lisa.

-Connor?

-I think Connor.

0:02:190:02:22

-I suppose.

-You suppose, that'll do!

0:02:220:02:24

Connor, our data handler, and which Egghead would you like to handle?

0:02:240:02:28

I'll try Steve.

0:02:300:02:31

Yep, quite hard to handle on some days.

0:02:310:02:33

Although the last game...

0:02:330:02:35

-Crashed and burned.

-Crashed and burned a little, that's right.

0:02:350:02:37

So maybe you're going to catch him at a good time here, Connor.

0:02:370:02:40

So, Connor from our Challengers versus Steve from the Eggheads,

0:02:400:02:43

please now take your places in our legendary Question Room.

0:02:430:02:46

Now, we had a little bit of a moment, Steve, in the last game,

0:02:480:02:50

-didn't we, with Geography?

-We did, yes.

0:02:500:02:53

-What happened?

-Er, well, I got it wrong, basically.

0:02:530:02:55

But interestingly it was your first Geography round you'd lost,

0:02:560:02:58

so you'd been playing very, very strongly.

0:02:580:03:00

Well, up till that point. But there's always things

0:03:000:03:02

you don't know, Jeremy, and if you can't guess right, which I didn't,

0:03:020:03:05

-then unfortunately, sometimes you lose.

-And where are we on Music?

0:03:050:03:08

-Have you lost any there?

-I have, yeah,

0:03:080:03:10

just to give a bit more encouragement to Connor.

0:03:100:03:12

But I do my best, I do my best.

0:03:120:03:14

What was the Music area that went wrong?

0:03:140:03:16

-Gilbert and Sullivan.

-Gilbert AND Sullivan or Gilbert O'Sullivan?

0:03:160:03:20

Well, I'd probably have got that one right -

0:03:200:03:22

I don't mind Gilbert O'Sullivan.

0:03:220:03:23

Gilbert and Sullivan - they're not my thing.

0:03:230:03:25

OK. Well, now we know, Connor, you know where the weak point is.

0:03:250:03:28

I wish you well in this round, Challenger.

0:03:280:03:29

Do you want to go first or second?

0:03:290:03:31

I'll let Steve go first.

0:03:310:03:33

So, Steve, he's putting you in first, and here is your question.

0:03:360:03:39

In which city in 1978

0:03:390:03:41

did Jarvis Cocker found the group that became Pulp?

0:03:410:03:44

Yeah, they're from my neck of t'woods - it's Sheffield.

0:03:480:03:51

Sheffield is correct. They've been around a long time, haven't they?

0:03:510:03:54

-They have, yeah.

-OK, Connor.

0:03:540:03:56

What was the name of the band Gladys Knight formed in 1952 with

0:03:560:04:01

Merald Knight, William Guest, and Edward Patten?

0:04:010:04:05

I've actually never heard of them before, so I'm going to try to make

0:04:100:04:14

a slight educated guess on this. I would probably say possibly

0:04:140:04:17

The Drifters.

0:04:170:04:19

There's a famous song that she does. Come on, Lisa, can you...?

0:04:190:04:22

-Which one would you like?

-Midnight Train To Georgia, can you?

0:04:220:04:25

Yes, I can.

0:04:250:04:27

# He's leaving...leaving

0:04:270:04:30

# On that midnight train to Georgia... #

0:04:300:04:33

You see, you need The Pips, it doesn't work just on your own.

0:04:330:04:35

And I'd rather live in his world, do that line.

0:04:350:04:37

# Rather live in his world than live without him in mine. #

0:04:370:04:41

It really doesn't work without The Pips.

0:04:410:04:43

No, but the lyric in that...

0:04:430:04:45

So the song is Midnight Train To Georgia.

0:04:450:04:47

The band is - you might have heard - if I put the names together,

0:04:470:04:49

Gladys Knight And The Pips.

0:04:490:04:51

-Connor, The Pips is the answer.

-Yep.

0:04:510:04:55

Steve, what is the title of The Beatles' second studio album?

0:04:550:05:00

That's With The Beatles, Jeremy.

0:05:040:05:06

Oh, you went straight there. What was the first one, then?

0:05:060:05:08

-Please Please Me.

-I see.

0:05:080:05:10

So this was still in their kind of pop phase, was it?

0:05:100:05:12

Yeah, about '63.

0:05:120:05:13

Right, With The Beatles is right.

0:05:130:05:15

Connor, back to you, you do need to get this one right to stay in.

0:05:150:05:18

Which group had a UK number one single in 1977 with Chanson D'Amour?

0:05:180:05:24

Again, I'm probably going to need to make a slight guess at this one.

0:05:300:05:34

But...probably guess The New Seekers.

0:05:340:05:37

-Steve, you'll know this.

-Manhattan Transfer.

0:05:380:05:41

Manhattan Transfer is the answer. Chanson...

0:05:410:05:44

You could do this one as well, Lisa, but...

0:05:440:05:46

I was going to get Chris to do it, it seemed more his...

0:05:460:05:48

-Go on, Chris!

-# Chanson D'amour, ra ta ra ta ra. #

0:05:480:05:54

That's the bit we wanted! Oh, I'm sorry, Connor,

0:05:540:05:57

it didn't quite break for you there.

0:05:570:05:58

"Ra ta ra ta ra" has knocked you out.

0:05:580:06:00

Manhattan Transfer was the answer,

0:06:000:06:02

Steve is in the final and you're not, but it is early.

0:06:020:06:05

Come back to us, we'll play on.

0:06:050:06:07

So as it stands, Too Tricky 5 Me have lost a brain

0:06:070:06:10

from the final round, the Eggheads are still all there,

0:06:100:06:13

all intact, shells still on.

0:06:130:06:15

The next subject is Science.

0:06:150:06:16

Now, who would like this?

0:06:160:06:18

Shazia, is there a plan?

0:06:180:06:19

Yeah. We were counting on this.

0:06:190:06:23

-Going to be Abdul?

-Yep.

-OK.

0:06:230:06:25

Abdul, which Egghead? It can't be Steve.

0:06:250:06:28

I'd like to take Pat on.

0:06:280:06:30

-You'd like to take on Pat.

-Yep.

-Good stuff.

0:06:300:06:33

Abdul from Too Tricky 5 Me, to play Pat on Science,

0:06:330:06:36

please take your positions.

0:06:360:06:38

So, Abdul, you're a member of the Chemical Engineering Society.

0:06:400:06:43

Is that a hobby or part of your job?

0:06:430:06:45

It's a part of what I study, actually.

0:06:450:06:48

Studying chemical engineering.

0:06:480:06:49

Right, with a view to doing what kind of thing?

0:06:490:06:52

Well, with chemical engineering,

0:06:520:06:54

you can go into the petrochemical industry,

0:06:540:06:56

which is where you'd go for money, but I'm looking at going into

0:06:560:07:00

pharmaceutical stuff, because everyone needs medicine, really.

0:07:000:07:04

Yeah, good thinking. Good luck on the Science round here.

0:07:040:07:07

I know it's your subject. You're up against Pat. He's quite a powerful

0:07:070:07:11

quizzer, so just try and use whatever tactics you need

0:07:110:07:14

to calm him down. Science, first or second, Abdul?

0:07:140:07:17

I'd like to go first.

0:07:170:07:19

Here we go, with your first question.

0:07:230:07:25

Herschel and Planck, launched by the European Space Agency in 2009,

0:07:250:07:31

are examples of what?

0:07:310:07:32

Let me read it again. Herschel and Planck, launched by the

0:07:370:07:41

European Space Agency in 2009, are examples of what?

0:07:410:07:44

I don't think they're telescopes.

0:07:460:07:48

Erm... Planck's constant...

0:07:480:07:51

In fact, they ARE space telescopes.

0:07:520:07:55

Because I'm pretty sure I remember something about Planck's constant

0:07:550:08:00

from physics and it's something to do with light, or something.

0:08:000:08:05

Sorry, Mr Campbell, if I've got this wrong!

0:08:050:08:08

-So, what's your answer?

-Space telescopes.

0:08:080:08:10

-Space telescopes is right!

-Yay!

-Yay!

0:08:100:08:13

You just were about to move away and then the knowledge came back.

0:08:130:08:17

-Yeah.

-OK, Pat, your question.

0:08:170:08:20

What is the branch of science that deals with the effects of

0:08:200:08:23

very low temperatures on living things known as?

0:08:230:08:27

The effects of very low temperatures on living things.

0:08:270:08:29

Well, the prefix "cryo", there,

0:08:350:08:38

you see that a lot when referring to low temperatures,

0:08:380:08:42

so I'll go for cryobiology.

0:08:420:08:45

Cryobiology is correct.

0:08:450:08:47

And a lot of this experimentation still goes on

0:08:470:08:49

with the Eggheads' dressing rooms! Cryobiology is correct.

0:08:490:08:53

Abdul, we go to you.

0:08:530:08:55

Who would be most likely to use a coronagraph in their daily work?

0:08:560:09:01

-Sorry, what kind of graph was that again?

-A coronagraph.

0:09:070:09:10

C-O-R-O-N-A-G-R-A-P-H. Coronagraph.

0:09:100:09:14

-All one word.

-I don't think it's an aircraft designer and an astronomer,

0:09:140:09:19

because they're both more to do with physics.

0:09:190:09:22

-So I'd go with the first option.

-OK, anaesthetist is your answer.

0:09:220:09:28

Corona... I'm not sure, Eggs know all about this,

0:09:280:09:31

but do we associate it with the sun, light with the sun, Eggheads?

0:09:310:09:33

-Is that right?

-Yes.

0:09:330:09:35

Yeah, a coronagraph would be most likely use by an astronomer, Abdul.

0:09:350:09:39

Sorry about that. Although I think if an anaesthetist used one,

0:09:390:09:43

that would be very painful.

0:09:430:09:44

Pat, here is your question.

0:09:460:09:47

Obcordate, palmate and sagittate

0:09:470:09:52

are three of the many classifications of the shapes

0:09:520:09:54

of what aspect of a plant?

0:09:540:09:57

Well, I suppose all three can have many different configurations.

0:10:000:10:06

Could I have the question again, please?

0:10:060:10:09

Obcordate, palmate and sagittate are three of the many classifications

0:10:090:10:14

of the shapes of what aspect of a plant?

0:10:140:10:16

I think this must apply to leaves.

0:10:160:10:19

Sagittate probably means either arrow or spear-like.

0:10:200:10:24

Palmate would mean like the shape of a hand.

0:10:240:10:27

-So I think it's leaves.

-Leaves is right.

0:10:270:10:30

Leaves, Pat. Right, Pat has two correct answers here, Abdul.

0:10:300:10:34

It does mean you've got to get this one right, OK, to stay in.

0:10:340:10:38

Take your time here. A certain type of which of the following, Abdul,

0:10:380:10:42

would be most likely to exhibit the quality known as labradorescence?

0:10:420:10:46

Labradorescence.

0:10:480:10:50

An essence is a smell and I'm pretty sure trees,

0:10:550:11:03

they don't really smell like a Labrador!

0:11:030:11:06

So I'd rule that out. And an ocean wave is more of an action.

0:11:060:11:13

And I'm pretty sure you can't really smell a wave.

0:11:130:11:16

So I'll go for mineral.

0:11:160:11:18

-OK, on the basis that it would smell of something?

-Yep.

0:11:180:11:22

-Eggheads, help us - how do we get to this?

-I'd have gone the same.

0:11:220:11:25

I thought labradorite was some sort of mineral.

0:11:250:11:27

Essence can be just a quality of something, can't it?

0:11:270:11:30

-Yeah, I suppose, yeah.

-Labradorescence.

0:11:300:11:33

You're right, Abdul, mineral is correct.

0:11:330:11:35

-OK.

-Good quizzing.

-Right.

0:11:350:11:38

And you've drawn level with the great Pat,

0:11:380:11:41

but he has a chance now with a question in hand to take the round.

0:11:410:11:44

Native to the Americas, what kind of creature is a honey creeper?

0:11:440:11:49

I think it's a...

0:11:520:11:54

quite a specialised little bird...

0:11:540:11:58

who chases insects and the like.

0:11:580:12:01

-So I think it's a bird.

-The correct answer is bird,

0:12:010:12:04

you've got three out of three. Sorry, Abdul,

0:12:040:12:05

you ran him pretty close there, but you're not in the final, I'm afraid.

0:12:050:12:08

Another victory for the Eggheads here. They're playing quite well.

0:12:080:12:12

Please return to us, and we'll play the third round.

0:12:120:12:14

We had a word there we hadn't heard before - labradorescence.

0:12:170:12:19

-Mm-hm.

-And one of you said there is a mineral called...

0:12:190:12:23

-Labradorite.

-Labradorite.

0:12:230:12:25

The word, the Labrador bit of this word,

0:12:250:12:28

is really about an iridescent optical effect.

0:12:280:12:32

So it's about gloss or shine, or...

0:12:320:12:34

That's why... I think you were right, Abdul, to rule out trees.

0:12:340:12:38

-Yeah.

-I don't think you would say, "That tree is very labradorescent,"

0:12:380:12:42

but a mineral could be. OK?

0:12:420:12:43

A wave could be, you've got phosphorescence.

0:12:430:12:46

If it was moving fast enough!

0:12:460:12:48

Don't make it more complicated, Judith!

0:12:490:12:51

It's true, a wave could have that kind of quality.

0:12:510:12:53

-Yes.

-Maybe.

-If a Labrador jumped into the sea...

0:12:530:12:56

No, it doesn't involve...

0:12:560:12:58

Let's take the dog out of it!

0:12:580:12:59

That's what's confusing us - there's no Labrador in this at all!

0:12:590:13:03

As it stands, Too Tricky 5 Me have lost two brains

0:13:030:13:05

from the final round, but they're playing in a gutsy way here.

0:13:050:13:08

The Eggheads have not lost any, and they are playing maybe in a slightly

0:13:080:13:11

smug way. I think this might be the time.

0:13:110:13:13

The next subject for you is History.

0:13:130:13:15

Who wants History? Aswad?

0:13:150:13:19

-Yeah, I'll take History.

-OK, down the end, our accounts assistant.

0:13:190:13:23

And you can take on Chris, Judith or Lisa.

0:13:230:13:26

I've been thinking long and hard about this,

0:13:260:13:28

and I'm going for Chris.

0:13:280:13:30

-He's been thinking long and hard about you, Chris.

-Has he?

0:13:300:13:33

Don't go there!

0:13:330:13:35

Aswad, from Too Tricky 5 Me, versus Chris from the Eggheads - History.

0:13:350:13:38

Chris loves his History, but certain periods only.

0:13:380:13:41

Basically if they were armed and charging around...

0:13:410:13:44

-If they were armed or steam-driven, yeah.

-Armed or steam-driven, yeah.

0:13:440:13:47

Please go to the Question Room now.

0:13:470:13:49

Well, Aswad, I hear you won an award for your charity work.

0:13:500:13:53

Yeah, that's right, Jeremy.

0:13:530:13:55

That sounds great. What was that for?

0:13:550:13:57

It was actually a Vodafone World Of Difference Award for my contribution

0:13:570:14:01

to all the charity work I've done in the past.

0:14:010:14:03

Tremendous. So you do a lot of volunteering and that kind of thing?

0:14:030:14:06

-Yeah, that's right.

-Any particular areas that you like to focus on?

0:14:060:14:10

Just all-round, basically,

0:14:100:14:12

I like to help different causes and whatever is really there.

0:14:120:14:17

Wonderful. And in amidst all of that,

0:14:170:14:19

you get a bit of time to think about History?

0:14:190:14:21

Yeah, that's right, just watch some, you know, old documentaries.

0:14:210:14:26

History programmes.

0:14:260:14:27

Brilliant, brilliant. Well, good luck in this round.

0:14:270:14:29

Hoping you're going to turn it around for the team.

0:14:290:14:32

Would you like to go first or second against Chris?

0:14:320:14:35

I think I'm going to give the honours, Jeremy,

0:14:350:14:37

to Chris to go first.

0:14:370:14:39

OK, so Chris goes first, and here we are with your question.

0:14:420:14:45

The two UK general elections held during the 1960s both resulted in

0:14:450:14:49

which politician becoming Prime Minister?

0:14:490:14:51

Let me read it again. The two UK general elections held during

0:14:560:14:59

the 1960s both resulted in which politician becoming Prime Minister?

0:14:590:15:03

That was the two general election wins of Harold Wilson.

0:15:040:15:08

It was. And were there only two in the '60s?

0:15:080:15:10

I'm just thinking when they were, then?

0:15:100:15:12

Six... I suppose there was one in '70, wasn't there?

0:15:130:15:16

So there must have been one in '66, maybe?

0:15:160:15:17

-Yeah.

-Well, there were two very close together, do you remember?

0:15:170:15:20

Because he got a very, very small majority.

0:15:200:15:22

-Wasn't that '74?

-I thought that was the '60s at some point.

0:15:220:15:26

OK, we'll come back to that. I'm getting confused myself.

0:15:260:15:28

But you're right, Harold Wilson is correct, Chris.

0:15:280:15:32

Aswad, your question. In 1970,

0:15:320:15:34

the British government announced an indefinite ban on the importation of

0:15:340:15:38

domestic pets, following an outbreak of which disease?

0:15:380:15:42

1970.

0:15:420:15:43

In 1970,

0:15:470:15:48

the British government announced an indefinite ban on the importation of

0:15:480:15:52

domestic pets, following an outbreak of which disease?

0:15:520:15:56

I'm thinking...

0:15:560:15:58

This is going to be a punt, really, because I'm not too sure,

0:15:590:16:04

so I'm going to guess rabies for this.

0:16:040:16:08

Rabies is right, well done.

0:16:080:16:10

OK, Chris, onto you.

0:16:120:16:15

During the Roman Empire, which of these was a type of brass coin?

0:16:150:16:19

Can you repeat the question, Jeremy?

0:16:230:16:25

During the Roman Empire, which of these was a type of brass coin?

0:16:250:16:30

Oh, Romans used to quote prices in sesterces, so it's a sestertius.

0:16:350:16:39

Yes, you're right, sestertius. Well done.

0:16:390:16:42

A bit of that in the Bible, I think?

0:16:420:16:44

Oh, "Render unto Caesar," yeah.

0:16:440:16:45

Yeah. So, let's have a look, Chris has got two.

0:16:450:16:48

Aswad, you've got one.

0:16:480:16:50

Haven't got anything wrong yet. The Angles were one of the main Germanic

0:16:500:16:54

peoples who settled in which part of the world in the post-Roman period?

0:16:540:16:58

I think I'm going to go with Britain.

0:17:040:17:08

Britain is correct. He's playing well, your team-mate, isn't he?

0:17:080:17:12

-Yay!

-Doing really well. OK, 2-2.

0:17:120:17:14

Chris, back to you. What was the name of the judge who presided over

0:17:140:17:18

the 1685 trials known as the Bloody Assizes?

0:17:180:17:22

What was the name of the judge who presided over the

0:17:220:17:25

1685 trials known as the Bloody Assizes?

0:17:250:17:28

The Bloody Assizes were the work of Judge George Jeffreys,

0:17:330:17:36

the Hanging Judge.

0:17:360:17:37

The Hanging Judge, George Jeffreys, is right.

0:17:370:17:40

So he unfortunately has got three out of three there, Aswad,

0:17:400:17:43

which he does tend to do, Chris, when he's in good form,

0:17:430:17:46

especially when he's wearing that shirt.

0:17:460:17:48

It seems to be associated with victories.

0:17:480:17:51

So get this one right to stay in.

0:17:510:17:52

-If you get it right, we go to Sudden Death, OK?

-OK.

0:17:520:17:55

Two civil wars were fought in which of these countries

0:17:550:17:57

between 1944 and 1949?

0:17:570:18:00

Hmm...

0:18:040:18:05

Can you repeat the question again?

0:18:070:18:09

Two civil wars were fought in which of these countries

0:18:090:18:13

between 1944 and 1949?

0:18:130:18:15

Er, I'm going to take a guess at this,

0:18:170:18:23

-and I'm going to say Spain.

-Chris, do you know?

0:18:230:18:29

Well, there was a Spanish Civil War in '36 to '39,

0:18:290:18:31

but the two civil wars we're referring to here were in Greece.

0:18:310:18:34

Greece was the answer, Aswad, two out of three wasn't quite enough,

0:18:340:18:37

I'm afraid. You've been knocked out, Chris is in the final round.

0:18:370:18:40

Return to your teams, please. We'll play one more round.

0:18:400:18:43

We were just doing a bit of our 1960s elections -

0:18:450:18:48

there were only two in the '60s, interestingly. '64 and '66.

0:18:480:18:51

Both won by Wilson. And then he had that double election year in '74.

0:18:510:18:56

-Do you remember that, Chris?

-Yeah, certainly do.

0:18:560:18:58

-So he won one, had to call another.

-Yeah.

0:18:580:19:01

Both times at the first election, '64 and '74,

0:19:010:19:03

he won too small to really govern properly.

0:19:030:19:06

As it stands, Too Tricky 5 Me have lost three brains

0:19:060:19:09

from the final round. The Eggheads are still all there.

0:19:090:19:12

No-one has been knocked out yet on their side.

0:19:120:19:14

The next subject is Sport.

0:19:140:19:16

So who would like this - Sport?

0:19:160:19:18

-Ayaz?

-OK, the process of elimination.

0:19:180:19:20

-Against?

-Judith.

0:19:210:19:24

OK. So Ayaz from Too Tricky 5 Me versus Judith from the Eggheads.

0:19:240:19:27

On Sport, your favourite subject.

0:19:270:19:29

And just to ensure there is no conferring,

0:19:290:19:31

please go to the Question Room.

0:19:310:19:33

Well, here we are again, Judith.

0:19:350:19:37

-We are.

-And I was thinking about you the other day,

0:19:370:19:39

-because I was watching football.

-Yes?

0:19:390:19:40

And I was thinking of the time we went to a game.

0:19:400:19:43

I know, it was great fun, I loved it.

0:19:430:19:44

And I've SORT of followed Chelsea ever since, actually.

0:19:440:19:47

But do you remember that person who actually explained the offside rule

0:19:470:19:51

-to you using salt and pepper?

-Yes. Yes. Absolutely.

0:19:510:19:54

-So, you're now a Chelsea fan?

-I am - I suppose,

0:19:540:19:57

if I was going to be any sort of a fan, I would be a Chelsea fan.

0:19:570:20:00

Good luck in this round.

0:20:000:20:01

Ayaz, good luck to you. Are you a sports fan, or not?

0:20:010:20:03

-Not really, but...

-How did you get chosen for Sport?

0:20:030:20:07

Well, it was between me and my sister so, yeah,

0:20:070:20:10

between that, I thought I would be better off taking my chances.

0:20:100:20:14

-Yeah.

-Mm-hm.

-But you are a fan of horror films, so...

0:20:140:20:17

Yeah. So if that comes up somehow...

0:20:170:20:20

Sport it is. Ayaz, do you want to go first or second?

0:20:200:20:23

I'll go first.

0:20:230:20:25

Here we go with your first question. In which of the following

0:20:290:20:32

do competitors use a piece of equipment made up of four parts -

0:20:320:20:36

the point or tip, the barrel, the shaft, and the flights?

0:20:360:20:40

In which of the following do competitors use a piece of equipment

0:20:430:20:47

made up of four parts - the point or tip, the barrel,

0:20:470:20:50

the shaft, and the flights?

0:20:500:20:52

Erm...

0:20:550:20:57

-I'll go with darts.

-Darts is quite right, well done.

0:20:570:21:00

-Yay!

-That's good, your sister's cheering.

0:21:000:21:03

You would have liked that question, Judith.

0:21:040:21:06

I think I would have got it...

0:21:060:21:08

-Got it right or wrong?

-Right!

0:21:080:21:10

I think you would have had an answer to it.

0:21:100:21:12

OK, here is your question. In the laws of association football,

0:21:120:21:16

the backpass rule puts restrictions on which member of a team

0:21:160:21:20

when the ball is passed to them by one of their team-mates?

0:21:200:21:25

Can you say all of that again?

0:21:250:21:26

I will. In the laws of association football,

0:21:260:21:30

the backpass rule puts restrictions on which member of a team

0:21:300:21:35

when the ball is passed to them by one of their team-mates?

0:21:350:21:38

I need the pepper pots, I think.

0:21:410:21:43

I don't really understand the question, that's the awful thing.

0:21:470:21:50

I'm going to say the goalkeeper.

0:21:500:21:52

Yeah, I think maybe the word "association" was throwing you.

0:21:520:21:54

It's just basically football.

0:21:540:21:56

Goalkeeper's right. You can't pick it up if it is passed back to you

0:21:560:22:00

-by one of your own players.

-Yeah.

-Because it stops time-wasting.

0:22:000:22:04

-Oh, I see.

-Ayaz, Richie Woodall has won

0:22:040:22:07

an Olympic medal and a world title in which sport?

0:22:070:22:11

Just guessing here, but athletics?

0:22:150:22:19

-It's boxing.

-Oh.

0:22:190:22:20

Judith, what is the technical term for the net at the

0:22:220:22:26

top of a lacrosse stick?

0:22:260:22:29

Oh, that's interesting. I don't think it's the sleeve,

0:22:320:22:36

because it doesn't look like a sleeve.

0:22:360:22:38

I think it's most likely to be a pocket.

0:22:380:22:41

It is a pocket. Well, you used to play lacrosse?

0:22:410:22:43

I did, but we didn't talk about the pocket.

0:22:430:22:45

You didn't have a pocket when you played?

0:22:470:22:49

Well, yes, it had a pocket, and now I know I had a pocket,

0:22:490:22:52

but I didn't know that I had a pocket!

0:22:520:22:53

-No.

-If you understand my drift.

0:22:530:22:55

The pocket was not really something that...

0:22:550:22:57

-I just called it a net, I think.

-Yes.

-Exactly.

0:22:570:23:00

So Judith is in the lead, Ayaz.

0:23:000:23:03

It's not a crisis, but it's getting closer to being one.

0:23:030:23:06

If you get this wrong,

0:23:070:23:09

you'll be down to just your sister in the final.

0:23:090:23:12

And she would really like company. OK?

0:23:120:23:16

Here's your question. Which American professional basketball team

0:23:160:23:20

can trace its origins back to the 1940s,

0:23:200:23:23

when it was known as the Syracuse Nationals?

0:23:230:23:26

I don't watch basketball, so a guess again, it's going to have to be.

0:23:310:23:37

-Philadelphia 76ers.

-What do you think, Challengers?

0:23:370:23:40

-Possibly?

-Yeah, you like it?

0:23:400:23:43

They like it here. And you're right, it is the Philadelphia 76ers.

0:23:430:23:47

-I should play the lottery.

-JEREMY LAUGHS

0:23:470:23:50

So, interesting - Judith, get this one right, you're in the final.

0:23:500:23:54

On Sport, and that's when we have the thing when we do

0:23:540:23:58

-the ticker tape coming down.

-Yeah, the glitter from the ceiling.

0:23:580:24:00

Exactly, and dancers come out.

0:24:000:24:02

The Cesarewitch Handicap is run each year at which racecourse?

0:24:020:24:07

-I think it's Newmarket.

-Have you been there?

0:24:110:24:14

No, I haven't been. I hardly ever go racing.

0:24:140:24:16

-The correct answer is Newmarket.

-Phew!

0:24:160:24:19

-Well done, Judith, you've won on Sport. Very good.

-Yippee!

0:24:190:24:21

Won again, because you've been playing well on Sport recently.

0:24:210:24:24

Ayaz, beaten by our Egghead, and trouble in the final

0:24:240:24:27

for our Challengers, but not out of reach by any means.

0:24:270:24:29

Please return to us. We'll play the final round.

0:24:290:24:32

So, this is what we have been playing towards, it is time

0:24:330:24:36

for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:24:360:24:39

But, I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be

0:24:390:24:42

allowed to take part in this round so, all from this side, I'm afraid,

0:24:420:24:46

it's Ayaz and Abdul and Connor and Aswad from Too Tricky 5 Me.

0:24:460:24:50

Would you please now leave the studio?

0:24:500:24:54

Shazia, you are playing to win Too Tricky 5 Me £3,000.

0:24:540:24:58

Lisa, Steve, Pat, Chris and Judith,

0:24:580:25:01

you're playing for something that money can't buy -

0:25:010:25:03

the Eggheads' precious reputation.

0:25:030:25:05

As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:25:050:25:07

This time, they are all General Knowledge.

0:25:070:25:09

You can confer. I'm sorry that doesn't help you.

0:25:090:25:12

Shazia, the question is, can your one brain defeat these five

0:25:120:25:16

in a famous victory which will be talked about at your school forever?

0:25:160:25:20

Would you like to go first or second?

0:25:200:25:21

First, please.

0:25:210:25:23

And here is your first question.

0:25:270:25:29

Which of these is the name for a purplish shade of blue?

0:25:290:25:33

-I think it's laurel.

-Eggheads, do you know?

0:25:380:25:42

-Cornflower.

-Cornflower.

-Yeah, cornflower was the answer.

0:25:420:25:45

-OK.

-Purplish shade of blue - cornflower.

0:25:450:25:48

OK, Eggs, your question.

0:25:480:25:50

Which London street leads from Trafalgar Square

0:25:500:25:53

to Buckingham Palace?

0:25:530:25:55

-The Mall.

-The Mall?

-The Mall.

-The Mall. Indeed.

0:25:580:26:03

-That's The Mall, Jeremy.

-It is The Mall.

0:26:030:26:06

Back to you. On a standard UK Monopoly board,

0:26:060:26:09

which corner square is diagonally opposite Free Parking?

0:26:090:26:13

-Go. It's Go.

-Well done, you play?

0:26:160:26:19

-Yay!

-Go is right.

-Thank you.

0:26:190:26:23

-Played it recently?

-I always play Monopoly.

0:26:230:26:25

Yeah, it's a great... Still a great game. The streets in the one

0:26:250:26:27

you play - are they Glasgow streets or London streets?

0:26:270:26:30

I ordered a Glasgow street one, so that will be coming in soon.

0:26:300:26:32

Brilliant.

0:26:320:26:34

Eggheads, what would you be most likely to do in a French

0:26:340:26:37

train carriage known as a wagon-lit?

0:26:370:26:40

Sleep.

0:26:400:26:41

-Have a kip.

-You can do whatever you like in a wagon-lit,

0:26:440:26:46

-but it's go to sleep.

-The mind boggles what you would do.

0:26:460:26:49

So, "lit" is French for bed, so it's go to sleep.

0:26:490:26:52

Go to sleep is right.

0:26:520:26:54

So they're ahead, two points to one.

0:26:540:26:58

-You have to get this one right, or the contest is over, OK?

-OK.

0:26:580:27:01

Rooting for you here.

0:27:010:27:03

In the UK, road signs giving directions on non-primary and

0:27:030:27:08

local routes usually have what colour borders?

0:27:080:27:12

-Local routes?

-Yeah.

-Brown.

0:27:150:27:18

Brown is your answer.

0:27:180:27:21

-It's not, though, it's black.

-Oh!

0:27:210:27:22

Directions on non-primary and local routes have black borders.

0:27:220:27:26

-OK.

-Sorry, Shazia.

-It's OK.

0:27:260:27:28

We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.

0:27:280:27:31

-And you did those children in your class very proud.

-I hope so.

0:27:360:27:38

I think the local... It's the brown ones are sightseeing.

0:27:380:27:41

-Are they the tourist attractions, the brown ones?

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:27:410:27:43

-Yeah. But I hope you enjoyed that.

-I did, thank you.

0:27:430:27:46

Great to have you all in, and bad luck to Too Tricky 5 Me.

0:27:460:27:49

Here are the Eggheads, doing what they do,

0:27:490:27:52

and a bit unstoppable at the moment, aren't they?

0:27:520:27:54

-Yeah.

-I can only apologise.

0:27:540:27:56

-OK, congratulations.

-They love to quiz.

0:27:560:27:58

Oh, don't congratulate them - that'll make it worse.

0:27:580:28:00

They reign supreme over Quizland once again, and it means,

0:28:000:28:03

I'm afraid, you won't be going home with £3,000.

0:28:030:28:06

-OK.

-So we will roll that money over to our next show.

0:28:060:28:08

Eggheads, very well done. Who will beat you, I wonder?

0:28:080:28:11

Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers can do it.

0:28:110:28:15

There's going to be £4,000 to play for.

0:28:150:28:17

Until we quiz again, goodbye.
