0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit their wits

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Now, before we go on with the quiz,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37you're watching at home and you are wanting a question -
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Pat's got one for you.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Also known as Botus, B-O-T-U-S,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44who is Marlon Bundo?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47OK, we will find out the answer to that at the end of the show.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Challenging our resident quiz champions today
0:00:50 > 0:00:53are The Cold Ashby Bandits from Northamptonshire.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Now, this team are all members of Cold Ashby Golf Club,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58where they tee off together three times a week.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Let's meet them.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm Graham and I'm a retired college principal.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Hi, my name is Tony.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I'm a retired caravan salesman.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Cliff, I'm an ex-Royal Naval artificer.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hi, I'm Keith, I'm a retired company director.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19So, Graham and team, hello.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20- ALL:- Hi.- Welcome - and, Graham,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23it's basically golfers we've got here, is it?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I think that's what we're most proud of, yeah.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29We play together three times a week in Cold Ashby Golf Club,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and that's where we met and that's where we continue to meet,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35socialise and beat the living daylights out of each other
0:01:35 > 0:01:36on the golf course, basically.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39So, Cold Ashby is a small village but with a nice big golf club?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It's got a lovely, friendly, family-run golf club,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44lots of hills, very pretty scenery,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and it's much bigger than the village that it serves.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48How wonderful, that sounds ideal.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Do you manage to include some quizzing in your socialising?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Never, no.- No quizzing at all?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56This is our very first communal quiz.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59OK! Well, you can catch them cold, then.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Good luck, Challengers.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs -
0:02:03 > 0:02:05but if the Challengers fail to win,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Now, Cold Ashby Bandits,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11the Eggheads have won the last seven games,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and you need to take them down a peg or two.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17£8,000 is here for you to win if you do it.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18- Would you like to try?- We would.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Very much so, yeah, yeah! - OK, teeing off.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24So, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and it's one of you, please,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- against either Dave, Beth, Barry, Pat or Chris.- Film & TV...
0:02:29 > 0:02:32You were going to do the Film & TV.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Pick up the bits.- Really?- Yeah. - Oh, all right.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36This is the real dregs, coming first!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I think it's you, Cliff, I'm sorry.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Have you got the mint sauce? - OK, Cliff...
0:02:40 > 0:02:41- That's me.- Very good.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Against which Egghead, Cliff?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44This is the tricky bit.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46They all look very daunting,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48but Dave's looking kind, I'll have a go.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51OK, Cliff from the Cold Ashby Bandits
0:02:51 > 0:02:53to play Tremendous Knowledge Dave,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55as he is known, from the Eggheads. Film & TV, the subject -
0:02:55 > 0:02:58and please, for the first time, go to our legendary Question Room.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03So, Cliff, you are a retired ex-Navy artificer.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Long time ago. - I suppose I should ask what a...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Actually, Chris will know. What is an artificer, Chris?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10ERA, engine room artificer.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Basically a ship's engineer.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Ship's engineer, Cliff?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Well, there are different types of artificer.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I was ordnance, so that was maintenance on the weapons, sonar,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22all that sort of thing - but you also had engine room artificers,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25shipwright artificers, like Tony,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- and then electrical.- Brilliant.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30OK, good luck trying to torpedo Dave, here.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Well, we'll do our best.- Good stuff.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Film & TV, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Definitely I think I'll go first, get it over with.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40The nerves are jangling a bit.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46OK, don't worry about the nerves.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Just focus here and enjoy it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Here we go, Cliff.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53In which film did Jodie Foster play the role of Clarice Starling?
0:03:58 > 0:04:03I would imagine... I imagine she has been in all of those, but...
0:04:03 > 0:04:06..I think I'll go for Silence Of The Lambs.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07You're absolutely right, well done.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Silence of the Lambs, unforgettable.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Yeah, with Anthony Hopkins.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14All right, Dave, Daniel Radcliffe starred
0:04:14 > 0:04:16in how many Harry Potter films?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17- Oh, no!- Your favourite subject!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Right. Oh, dear, this is a bad one.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I think there are seven books,
0:04:24 > 0:04:29and I think one of them got segmented into two films, so...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I'm going to go eight, please.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Eight is right, Dave, well done.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35You're going to have to read one one day, you know.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Try me!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Or maybe even just to see a film, we'll get you in a cinema.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I've seen the films, and gave up after the first two.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46OK, Cliff, who plays the role of Paul Pennyfeather
0:04:46 > 0:04:51in the 2017 TV adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Decline And Fall?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Ah...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59None of these spring out at me.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I would go down the middle, but I did that last time.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'll try David Walliams.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08No, it's Jack Whitehall.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I should have gone down the middle!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Yeah - known for his comedy.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14OK, Dave, to take the lead,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17in which film does Robert De Niro famously say,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20"I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?"
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I don't think it's Analyze This,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I don't think it's The King Of Comedy.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I'm sure that...
0:05:32 > 0:05:34..Ben Stiller's character is Greg,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37so I think the answer's Meet The Parents,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39from what I can recall.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Quite right, well done -
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and he's gone into the lead here, Cliff.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45You're in a bunker, but you can get out.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46You haven't seen me play, have you?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49We're going to see you play now.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Who's the director of Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy films?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00If I had seen the film, I may have some idea,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03but I haven't seen the film, so it's going to be an out and out guess.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I can't even claim it's going to be an educated guess,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08just a wild guess -
0:06:08 > 0:06:10and we'll go for James Gunn.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11James Gunn is the right answer.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Yippee.- Well done, that was cunning.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17And is JJ Abrams Game of Thrones, or is that my imagination?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Star Wars.- Your imagination, yeah.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21So, who is the Game Of Thrones writer?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22George RR Martin.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24That's it, yeah, that's what threw me.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26George RR Martin.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Maybe you should be Tremendous Knowledge DD Dave.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Don't think so.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Here's your question. - I've not taken to that one.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Here's your question to take the round.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Which British actor plays the role of the Beast
0:06:37 > 0:06:40in the 2017 film version of Beauty and the Beast?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47I've not seen... Not...seen the film at all.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Could be any of them.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Simply because they're older, I would go Jude Law.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54I'm going to go to Jude Law.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Interesting - you got it wrong.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- Yeah.- Dan Stevens.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59So, that's good, Cliff.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Three questions each, the scores are level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternative options.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Here's your question. Which TV panel show broadcast since 2008
0:07:08 > 0:07:11has featured Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby
0:07:11 > 0:07:15as team captains and Keith Lemon as the host?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Oh, you've got me.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21No, I really don't know the answer to that. Um...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Sound a real wimp here, don't I?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28No, I give up.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Giving up? OK, Challengers, do you know this?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- We can only guess... - Never Mind The Buzzcocks?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- The Buzzcocks one.- Never mind...
0:07:34 > 0:07:36No, it's not the Buzzcocks - Celebrity Juice.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Never heard of it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Never heard of it. - Maybe not on your...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- ..on your list of must-watch. - No, no.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Dave, you can take the round with this.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Which Oscar-nominated actress
0:07:46 > 0:07:49who appeared in the 1952 film Singing In The Rain
0:07:49 > 0:07:51was the mother of Carrie Fisher?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Yeah, because they died within a few days of each other.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It's Debbie Reynolds.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Cliff, you'll know this one. - I knew that one.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yeah, I knew you did. Debbie Reynolds is the right answer.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You've taken the round, Dave, and you're in the final.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Sorry, Cliff, knocked out. Good performance, though.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Come back to us and we'll see if the Challengers can knock out
0:08:08 > 0:08:10an Egghead in the next round.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14So, as it stands, the Cold Ashby Bandits
0:08:14 > 0:08:16have lost a brain from the final round -
0:08:16 > 0:08:17but no cause for panic just yet.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The Eggheads have not lost any, they are on this great run,
0:08:20 > 0:08:21and you've got to stop it, gentlemen.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23The next subject is Science.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27So, where's the golfing scientist?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Are you all looking at me? - You were the volunteer.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- I think I'm going to have to insist, I'm afraid.- All right.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Is it Keith? - I think it is Keith. Yeah.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39OK, Keith is our scientist today -
0:08:39 > 0:08:40and against which Egghead?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Can't, obviously, be Dave.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44They're all pretty good, aren't they?
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Yeah. I'd... I'd try Beth, I would.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48No, I think she's very good at Science.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Shows what I know, then.- Yeah!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Who made him captain?!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Come on. Make your mind up.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- You pick one.- Chris.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58They all look horrible, so...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Eenie, meenie, minie, mo - I'll try Beth.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02OK, so, Keith from the Cold Ashby Bandits
0:09:02 > 0:09:04and Beth, our scientist, really.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- I think you are proper...- A proper...- A proper microbiologist.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Yeah, she knows about stuff.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12To ensure there's no conferring, please go to our Question Room now.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18So, Keith, you are a golfer and, for the purposes of today's game,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- a scientist as well. - Well, I try to be.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23What, a golfer or a scientist?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Both.- Oh, really? So, what's your science background?
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- Chemistry.- Lovely.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Was that A-Level or beyond?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30- University?- Degree level, yes.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Brilliant, so, you were working on what kind of thing
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- when you're a student?- I don't think I can remember that far back!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Have you got a bit of the periodic table in there?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Bit of the periodic table, of course, yes.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Lovely. That comes up a lot, Beth, doesn't it?- It does, yeah.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Yeah.- How many elements are there in the periodic table?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- About 60 or...? - I think we've got to 118, actually.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- Wow.- Yeah.- OK, so, Keith, good luck here, and it's Science.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Here we go. What is, Keith, an angiosperm?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I don't really know the answer to this, I'm afraid,
0:10:10 > 0:10:14but I think I'll go for a type of shark.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15We have sperm whales.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Yeah.- It's not a type of shark, though, it's a flowering plant.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I know that's not covered by chemistry, your subject.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Here we go, Beth. In computing technology,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29what is the more common name for the integrated circuit?
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Integrated circuit...
0:10:35 > 0:10:37That's probably something that's...
0:10:41 > 0:10:42..there all the time.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- The motherboard.- No.- Oh...
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Do you know, I was thinking motherboard
0:10:47 > 0:10:48before the options came up, but...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- It's not, is it?- No, it's wrong.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51- Oh.- Eggheads?
0:10:51 > 0:10:52- Microchip.- Microchip.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Oh!- OK, so, that's handy.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Keith, rub of the green.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Do we say that in golf or not?
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Yes, occasionally.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02You've got the rub of the green. OK, here is your second question.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Which of these animals, Keith, is a type of bat?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Now, then, again, not chemistry,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16but I'm pretty sure it's not a pademelon.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Pipistrelle.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Pipistrelle is the right answer.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- How did you do that? - We did have some bats in our...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26..loft on one occasion...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- OK.- ..and the bat man came and told us they were pipistrelle, so...
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Well, that's brilliant!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- There you go.- The bat man.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Did he come in a sort of very, very open top car with...?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Batman. Batman... - Nice Batman wings on him, yeah!
0:11:41 > 0:11:46OK! How handy, he has had an experience with a pipistrelle.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Beth, to catch up, what type of substance is adrenaline?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54It's... It's not a blood cell.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Pheromones are things that we exude but we don't really realise it,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02but adrenaline is a hormone.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Hormone is right. You're level.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07And we go back to you for your third question, Keith.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10The Milky Way, the galaxy in which solar system is located,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14is classified as which of the following, Keith?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Well, I think I would eliminate lenticular,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25on the basis that...
0:12:25 > 0:12:28..it's more like the shape of an ellipse,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30so I would go for elliptical galaxy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Elliptical - but I just saw Graham just draw it.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34What did you do on the desk just then, Graham?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- You drew the shape of a... - I drew a spiral.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Give me your hand... Yeah.- More or less that sort of thing, I hope...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41It's a kind of spiral, that's what Graham was drawing.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Spiral galaxy is the answer.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46OK, Beth, for the round,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48the Copley Medal is the oldest award
0:12:48 > 0:12:51given by which prestigious organisation?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I expect it's extremely prestigious,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05and there will be loads of the scientists that I've heard of
0:13:05 > 0:13:08that have won this medal. Um...
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Let's go with the Royal Society of London.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Any Eggheads know? Barry?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- It is indeed.- What's it for, then, it's just a thing?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I think it's just for extraordinary achievements in the sciences.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25The Copley Medal is indeed given by the Royal Society of London, Beth.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Well done. Sorry, Keith.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Knocked out, there, by our Egghead.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Not in the final round.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Come back to us, we'll play round three.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38So, as it stands, the Cold Ashby Bandits have lost two
0:13:38 > 0:13:41from the final round. In the bunker, slightly, these golfers.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45The Eggheads are still just teeing off, confidently.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47The next subject is Arts & Books,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49so this is the moment to take them down.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Who would like this?
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Take your pick, lads.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55One of you against one of them.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57It's got to be Graham, hasn't it, for Art & Books?
0:13:57 > 0:13:58It's not for me, I'm sorry.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Well...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Absolutely useless.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- I'll go again!- Well, you can't. - No...
0:14:05 > 0:14:06You want me to go sacrificial?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I think you'll have to do it. If you still want me to stay
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- here, you'll have to do it.- Yeah.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14All right, I'll do it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16OK, Tony - against which Egghead?
0:14:16 > 0:14:21And it's one of the three on the right, Tony, so Barry, Pat or Chris.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Take Chris.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23- Chris?- Yeah.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Can I take Chris, please?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27You can indeed.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Tony from the Cold Ashby Bandits to take on Chris
0:14:30 > 0:14:32on Arts & Books. You love your Arts & Books.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Well, I like representational art, shall I say?- Yeah.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- What, photography? - Well, no, but representational art.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41A picture I can look at and say, "Ah, that is so-and-so."
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Like a picture of a train, or...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Well, there is the Guild of Railway Artists,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- and some of those are extremely good.- Let's see what comes up.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Please go to the Question Room now.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54So, Tony, you and Cliff knew each other from the Navy?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Yes, that's where we first met in...
0:14:57 > 0:15:00..1955, when we joined the Navy together.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Terrific - and you were an artificer as well?
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Yes, that's correct.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Doing the equipment, checking on stuff?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Well, I was a shipwright artificer,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12which entails a variety of subjects -
0:15:12 > 0:15:18boat-building, plumbing, the actual structure of the ship itself...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20..was my responsibility.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23So, you were going around with a lot of tools, and tightening things?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Yeah, yeah, sums it up.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28And then went on to sell caravans, which is, you know,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30similarly mechanical, I guess?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Well, yes. Yes - I sort of drifted into it
0:15:33 > 0:15:38in the early days after the Navy and spent the rest of my career there.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40And you met Cliff because he bought a caravan from you?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Yeah, that's correct. One day, he just wandered onto the site
0:15:43 > 0:15:45and I thought, "I know that face,"
0:15:45 > 0:15:49and that would have been 40 years since we'd seen each other.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Quite... Quite exciting. - Oh, brilliant.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52So, Arts & Books, Tony.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Would you like to go first or second?
0:15:54 > 0:15:55I'll go second, please.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Here we go. Your question, Chris.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Who was poet laureate of the United Kingdom
0:16:04 > 0:16:07for 42 years of Queen Victoria's reign?
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Was this...?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14That was Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15It was, the brilliant...
0:16:15 > 0:16:17We were discussing him the other day, weren't we,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- saying how brilliant he was?- Yep. - Alfred, Lord Tennyson is right.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21OK, Tony.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Georges Simenon, born in Belgium in 1903,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29is best known for creating which fictional detective?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Can you spell his name, please?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Yes, Georges is George with an S on the end,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and then Simenon is S-I-M-E-N-O-N.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Well, it's not Sam Spade.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Between the other two, it'll be Jules Maigret.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Yeah - because Poirot, of course, is Agatha Christie.- Yeah.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Jules Maigret is correct.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Chris, who wrote the 1922 story
0:16:56 > 0:16:59The Diamond As Big As The Ritz?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Er, not George Orwell...
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Doesn't sound like Hemingway,
0:17:06 > 0:17:09but it does sound like F Scott Fitzgerald,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11so F Scott Fitzgerald.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It is F Scott Fitzgerald.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17OK, Tony, which of these Scottish writers
0:17:17 > 0:17:20died at his home in Samoa in 1894?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Oh... This is tricky.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I'll go Robert Louis Stevenson.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Nicely done, you're correct.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Robert Louis Stevenson is right.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Well done, Tony. Two each.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Chris, third question.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Prisoners, or as it is also known, Slaves,
0:17:44 > 0:17:49is a series of seemingly unfinished sculptures by which artist?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Well, Botticelli and Caravaggio were both painters,
0:17:55 > 0:17:56they didn't sculpt,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00but Michelangelo was a complete Renaissance man and he sculpted,
0:18:00 > 0:18:01so it's got to be by Michelangelo.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04That's exactly right. Michelangelo is right.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07OK, you need this one to stay in, Tony.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Rev up the caravan.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12What does Shakespeare describe in As You Like It
0:18:12 > 0:18:17as being, "Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything"?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Not a big Shakespeare lover.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I think I'll go the whining schoolboy.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Oh...- Let's see what your team-mates think of this.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Team-mates?- Second childishness.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Second childishness.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Think he's talking about old age here, is he?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Which we know about.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Second childishness is the answer.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Well done, Chris.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Taken out a Challenger, and three to the Eggheads now.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55One more round to play before the final.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Come back to us, gentlemen, we'll play it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Graham, we've lost three.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Golfing equivalent - it's a double bunker?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Well, it's a triple bunker, I think, at the moment.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Yeah, we're well off the fairway, into the rough,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11and we're going to have to hack out a bit.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13And what club would you use for that?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Whatever first comes to hand, I think, in this case.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- A number 9? - A number 9 would do fine.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Yeah, and just whack them with it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21If the opportunity arises.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24We need your caddies to come in now with the weapons.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- And fast!- Believe me, though, many have won from this position.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31No cause for any sort of defeatism at all.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Cold Ashby brains have lost three brains from the final round.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36The Eggheads are still sitting there,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38and they're on this roll, and we've got to stop it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40So, the next subject for you is Politics.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Who would like Politics?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Is it Brian?- It looks as if it has to be Brian.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Yeah, it's got to be Brian. - You're it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52- You're the only one.- Go on.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55OK, Brian, our retired independent financial adviser -
0:19:55 > 0:19:58and who would you like to give some financial advice to here?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01It's either Pat or Barry, so the two heavyweights.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- It's not easy.- Oh...
0:20:03 > 0:20:04- Go for Barry.- Good stuff.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Brian from the Cold Ashby Bandits taking on Barry from the Eggheads
0:20:08 > 0:20:10in our last head-to-head.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Please go to the Question Room.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15So, Barry against Brian.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Brian, you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'll go second, please.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Here we go, Barry.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27What name is given to a general vote by the electorate
0:20:27 > 0:20:29on a single political question?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Barry, is it...?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Oh, that is most certainly referendum.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Referendum is the right answer.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Brian, your question.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40The devolved legislature of which country
0:20:40 > 0:20:43is often referred to as Stormont?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I'm pretty confident that's Northern Ireland.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It is indeed - with the enormous driveway, yeah.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Northern Ireland.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Barry, who led the so-called national government
0:20:57 > 0:21:00following the 1931 general election?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Oh, let me think, now. It wasn't Winston Churchill.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Stanley Baldwin was Prime Minister on a number of occasions.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Ramsay MacDonald was Prime Minister before, I think, in 1924...
0:21:16 > 0:21:19..and I know Baldwin was Prime Minister in 1936,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21at the abdication crisis.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I think it was Ramsay MacDonald still.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Ramsay MacDonald is quite right.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Well done.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Brian, who became MP for West Bromwich East in 2001
0:21:32 > 0:21:37and became a leading name in the campaign against phone hacking?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I think I would go for Tom Watson.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Yes, indeed, and then also Labour's deputy leader, as well.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Tom Watson is right.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Barry, your question.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Who was the unsuccessful Conservative candidate
0:21:54 > 0:21:57for the constituency of Dartford
0:21:57 > 0:22:01in the general elections of 1950 and '51?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10James Callaghan was an MP for Cardiff for most of his life,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12so I don't think it was him.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16I'm pretty certain, however, that this was Margaret Thatcher.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Margaret Thatcher is correct.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Callaghan was Labour, of course.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23OK, so, Barry has got three.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25You need to get this one, Brian.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26In the UK Parliament,
0:22:26 > 0:22:31what is the name of the provision in a bill that gives it an expiry date
0:22:31 > 0:22:34when it is felt that Parliament should have the chance to decide
0:22:34 > 0:22:37on its merits again after a fixed period?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I would... Looking at the choice, I think would go for dawn clause.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52No, because it's an expiry date, so it's a sunset clause.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Sorry, Brian, beaten by Barry -
0:22:54 > 0:22:56and the Eggheads have won all their rounds,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58but the Challengers can still win.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00We're going to play the final next, for £8,000.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04And this is what we have been playing towards -
0:23:04 > 0:23:05it is time for the final round,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07which, as always, is General Knowledge -
0:23:07 > 0:23:09but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:09 > 0:23:11are not allowed to take part in this round,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13so, all from the Challengers' side,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I am afraid that Tony, Cliff, Brian and Keith
0:23:15 > 0:23:17from the Cold Ashby Bandits,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19would you please leave the studio?
0:23:21 > 0:23:22All right, Graham, good luck.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26You're playing to win the Cold Ashby Bandits £8,000.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Thank you.- Dave, Beth, Barry, Pat, Chris,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31you are playing for something that is, I think, priceless,
0:23:31 > 0:23:32which is your own reputation.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36They're all general knowledge.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Normally I say, "You can confer,"
0:23:38 > 0:23:40but your team-mates are all stranded back there,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42so you're on your own, Graham -
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and the question is, can you, playing solo,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47defeat these five over here in a famous victory?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- I'm sure you can. - I'll do what I can.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Good stuff. Confidence is key.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53So, Graham, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:53 > 0:23:54I'm going to go first.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Good luck.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02In which month of the year does Inauguration Day
0:24:02 > 0:24:04for US presidents typically fall?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Well, I know it's not March.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It's either January or February -
0:24:10 > 0:24:14and I know the election is in November, and I have...
0:24:14 > 0:24:18..a strong feeling, but not an absolute certainty,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21that it's the end of January.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24January is the right answer, well done.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Eggheads, in the Shakespeare play The Tempest,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29to which character is Prospero referring
0:24:29 > 0:24:34when he says, "This thing of darkness I acknowledge mine"?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Caliban.- Caliban.- Sounds like Caliban.- Sounds like Caliban.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Yeah - it won't be Ariel, will it? - Thing of darkness, yeah...
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Miranda's his daughter and
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Ariel is a sprite type of thing.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49We think that's Caliban.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51It is Caliban, well done.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Graham, back to you, second question.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55What is the official name of the organisation
0:24:55 > 0:24:57often referred to as MI6?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Well, I think it's the SIS,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10and I think it's the Secret Intelligence Service.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12It is indeed Secret Intelligence Service,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15well done. Eggheads, to catch up,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Salome is an opera in one act by Richard Strauss
0:25:18 > 0:25:23based on a play of the same name written by which Irish playwright?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28- Wilde, isn't it?- Oscar Wilde?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Yeah.- Yeah. - Illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32It's Oscar Wilde.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34That's Oscar Wilde.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Oscar Wilde is the right answer, well done.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38So, two each. Graham, back to you.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43The African capital city Niamey lies on the banks of which river?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46So, Niamey is spelt N-I-A-M-E-Y.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I only have a vague idea about this.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It's getting vaguer by the second, I have to say!
0:25:59 > 0:26:03But I do think it's the Congo.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06OK, Congo. Let's check with the Eggheads,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08because Niamey is not a familiar name at all.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09It's the capital of Niger.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10It's the capital of Niger?
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- So, do we then go to the Niger River or...?- Yeah.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17So, it's the capital of Niger and the river is Niger.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Graham, you got it wrong. So,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21the Eggheads can take the contest with this question.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Which of these Alfred Hitchcock films was released first?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I think it's Dial M for Murder.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I think it's '56, Dial M for Murder.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Psycho was 1960 and I think The Birds is '63.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35So, I think it's...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Dial M for Murder is definitely the '50s.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39The '50s, Dial M for Murder, yeah.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Because that is before Grace Kelly got married to Prince Rainier,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and then she retired, didn't she, from all acting?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49So, the other two are definitely in the '60s.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- OK.- So, Dial M for Murder.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55We think that's Dial M for Murder.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Dial M for Murder is your answer.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Do you think they got it right? - I'm sure they're right.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I'm sure they're right, too. The answer is Dial M for Murder.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15And you were pretty much bang on with your dates, Dave,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- except Dial M for Murder is '54, by the way.- OK.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21There we go. Commiserations, Graham, really hard on your own.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Bad luck to the golfers, here, the Cold Ashby Bandits.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26A good game of golf will get it out of your system!
0:27:26 > 0:27:28The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30This winning streak of yours continues, Eggs.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It does mean the Challengers don't go with the £8,000.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35We roll the money over to our next show.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Eggheads, are you going to get to a jackpot of 10,000?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40It is looking like it, isn't it? Can they be stopped?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Oh, we mustn't forget Pat's question.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48Also known as Botus, who is Marlon Bundo?
0:27:48 > 0:27:49So, B-O-T-U-S makes me think of Potus,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52makes me think of "something of the United States", but I don't know.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55You're on the right track. He's a rabbit.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00He is the family pet belonging to US Vice President Mike Pence,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02and he has jokingly been given the Botus name
0:28:02 > 0:28:04when travelling with the family.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06And what does Botus then stand for?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Bunny of the United States. - Bunny of the United States!
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Now we know. Great question.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Thank you, Pat. Join us next time
0:28:13 > 0:28:15to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:15 > 0:28:19have the brains to take them down. £9,000 says they can't do it.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Till then, goodbye.
