0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:20The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show were a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Taking on our quiz champions today are 19 in the Box from Hampshire.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Now, this team met at the Cottage Pub in Southampton where they play in a cribbage league
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and they occasionally win the weekly pub quiz.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Let's meet them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Jason and I'm an HR recruitment adviser.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Valerie, I'm a recruitment and resourcing consultant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Gaynor, I'm a human resources manager.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Dave and I'm a civil servant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Andrew and I'm a fruit farmer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- So, Jason and team, hello. ALL:- Hello, Jeremy.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Great to have you here and it's all about cribbage, this,
0:01:05 > 0:01:06- isn't it, Jason? - It is, yeah, absolutely.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Yeah, we're a cribbage team.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11We've only been playing it fairly recently but we love it.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's one of those games that can be frustrating.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's like a game of golf, you know?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18If you don't get the right hands, there's not a lot you can do about it,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20but it's just a fantastic game to play.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And so 19 in the Box would be a cribbage term?
0:01:23 > 0:01:28It is. In terms of cribbage, you can't score 19 points.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32You can score anything between one and 29 points
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- apart from 19, 25, 26 and 27.- OK.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And it's an in-joke with cribbage fans around the country that
0:01:38 > 0:01:42if you've got zero in your hand or in the box, you've got 19.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- You know, cos it sounds less painful, doesn't it, than saying, "I've got nothing."- OK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Are they quite complicated, the rules?- They can be at first, to get your head round,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52but once you're up and running with them,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54because there are various scoring sequences,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57you've scored for the hand that you have cos you're all dealt a hand.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59And they have this thing called the box as well.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00You all put a card into the box.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Yeah.- You can score points for that as well.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05But the delight in the game is in the pegging.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So you have pegging in the game so you can peg ahead.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10You can be level-pegging and peg back.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15- Is that where we get level-pegging from?- I suspect it is because it is quite an old game, cribbage.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19How interesting, OK. Well, good luck pegging this lot back over here, Challengers.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23We wish you well. Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27but if the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Now, 19 in the Box, they haven't quite won 19 in a row,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33they've won the last eight,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36so that's why they are looking a little bit smug, to be fair.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And it means you've got to stop them
0:02:38 > 0:02:39so they don't get above themselves.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41There's £9,000 if you win.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Would you like to try?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Yeah.- Yes.- Brilliant!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49So it's one of you against either
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Lisa, Beth, Barry, Pat or Chris.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Who's a Geography waller?- Oh, dear.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Geography has quite a lot of things other than just
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- sort of straight "where are things?"- What about you, Geography?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02I can have a go but if there's thing's like the areas of countries,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I just don't know what I'm talking about there.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Take us off to a flying start, Valerie.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07- OK.- We believe in you.- Valerie.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09All right, Valerie.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12On Geography, our recruitment and resourcing consultant
0:03:12 > 0:03:15against which Egghead? You've got the choice of any one of them.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Right, OK. Apparently, Barry's been to every single answer,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- so we'll avoid Barry.- He has been to every answer, that's true.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22That's what we've heard. What about Lisa?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Lisa, I suspect knowledge of Australia, maybe?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Yeah?- You watch the show!- Well, I think that's throwing the gauntlet down a little, don't you?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Did you say there are areas of the country you don't know much about, Valerie?
0:03:32 > 0:03:33We're going to get on fine!
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Right, OK.- That's cool, then.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- All right.- OK.- Good stuff.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41So it's going to be Valerie from 19 in the Box versus Lisa,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43known as Lost in France, from the Eggheads.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions in our Question Room.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Well, Lisa, we've had our moments on Geography, haven't we?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- So many, Jeremy, so many. - And we've sorted out Australia now?
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Ish... You were saying Lost in France,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I've now just opened my mind to a whole load of
0:03:59 > 0:04:01geographical musically-related puns.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03You know, Vienna means nothing to me.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07You know I'm riding on the Marrakech Express...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- I could go on.- So, yeah, we could...
0:04:09 > 0:04:12For the Geography rounds, you could be "Vienna It Means Nothing To Me" Lisa.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14That's true!
0:04:14 > 0:04:15All right, so, Valerie,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Geography is the subject and would you like to go first or second
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- against our Lisa? - I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25They're cheering you on here.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Scafell Pike is a mountain in which part of the UK?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Valerie, is it...?
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Um...
0:04:36 > 0:04:37It's...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40..going to be the Lake District, Jeremy.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Lake District is right.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Thank you.- Well done.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Lisa.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47What is the approximate population of the US state of Hawaii?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53OK, so the US,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55there's about 300 million people in the US
0:04:55 > 0:04:58and there's no way that nearly half of them would fit on Hawaii.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00That's fairly safe to rule out.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01I think even 14 would be pushing it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03The general rule with population
0:05:03 > 0:05:06is it's much fewer people than you think
0:05:06 > 0:05:09in any one place apart from about six countries,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12all of which you should be able to identify if you're a quizzer.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I'll go with 1.4 million.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Indeed, 1.4 million is right.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Valerie, which of these African countries is landlocked?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Ooh.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Well, it's definitely not Tunisia
0:05:27 > 0:05:31cos that's got a coastline on the Mediterranean.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I think Angola borders the Atlantic?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38So I'll go with Mali.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Perfect answer, well done, Mali it is.- Phew!
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Lisa.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45The town of Dudley lies approximately
0:05:45 > 0:05:47ten miles northwest of which British city?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53You're not doing the pronunciation quite right, Jeremy,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56cos I think the locals pronounce it a bit closer to Dud-lay.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Erm, although that's pretty appalling as well.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01With apologies to all residents of Dudley, the answer is Birmingham.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Birmingham is right. Dud-lay.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Over to you, Valerie.
0:06:07 > 0:06:092-2. Here's your question, see if you can take the lead.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Which sea lies between Borneo and the Philippines?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Ooh, this is a tricky one.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I-I don't think it's going to be the Sea of Japan because
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Japan's not been mentioned.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I've not really heard of the other two seas.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Erm...
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I'll go for the Sulu Sea.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31OK. Eggheads?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Yes, correct.- That's right.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Sulu Sea is right. - Oh, well done!- Well done, you!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37To stay in, Lisa.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43In which town might you visit the oriental landscaped gardens of Peasholm Park?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Ooh, ooh. Lucky, very lucky, Lisa.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Peasholm Park hold a sort of annual festival every year where they
0:06:54 > 0:06:56re-enact naval battles
0:06:56 > 0:07:01on the ponds and lakes that are within the gardens.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03And it's quite a big attraction.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I happen to know it's in Scarborough.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07It is in Scarborough, well done.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09So, you've both had a perfect round so far,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11three each after three questions.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Valerie, we go to Sudden Death, OK?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- It gets a bit harder because I don't give you different options. - No.- Here we go.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Which body of water in Venezuela is said to be the largest natural lake in South America?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I really... I can't think of any lakes in South America
0:07:27 > 0:07:30apart from Lake Titicaca and I know that's not in Venezuela.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Um...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36That will have to be my answer because I don't know, I'm afraid, Jeremy.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- OK, Eggheads? Do you know? - It's Lake Maracaibo.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Lake Maracaibo.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Where is Lake Titicaca?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Between Peru and Bolivia.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Have you been there, Barry?- I have.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Every... He's been everywhere!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50So, Valerie, there's a chance
0:07:50 > 0:07:52with that wrong answer for Lisa to take the round.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56What is the capital and largest city of Costa Rica?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Is it San Juan or San Jose?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Tell Barry just to put his head in his hands and get it over with.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I'll go with San Jose.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07- HE WHISPERS:- Yes!
0:08:07 > 0:08:08San Jose?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Yeah.- As opposed to San Juan?
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14You do know the way to San Jose, you're quite right,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16well done. You had me confused there, my goodness.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18San Jose is right. Well done, Lisa.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Ahh!- Sorry, Valerie. - Ah, never mind, Valerie!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22You nearly got her confused there,
0:08:22 > 0:08:28but you have been beaten by our Egghead. It's only round one. Come back to us, we'll play on.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK, so a difficult the start for 19 in the Box.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32They've lost one brain from the final round.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36The Eggheads have not lost any yet and we play on with Music.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oh, Music.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Jason and team, who wants this?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Yeah.- Erm, Andrew?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- If you want me to, Jase.- Yeah.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Yeah?- Why not?- OK. - Dazzle them with your shirt!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- All right, then. - Andrew, our fruit farmer,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50and who would you like to pick?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- What about Chris?- OK.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Chris loves his music.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Loves modern music, loves a bit of Kanye.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Spice Girls?- Maybe not.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Andrew from 19 in the Box versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09I like the top you're wearing, Andrew.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- It's strawberries, Jeremy. - Yeah, well, I can see that!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yeah, and I'm thinking a fruit farmer would, you know,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17that perfectly describes you.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18We do grow a of strawberries.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I won't do any puns on fruit farming cos I know that I'll just get a
0:09:21 > 0:09:23raspberry from the Eggheads if I did that.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24THEY ALL GROAN
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Andrew, on music against Chris,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28would you like to go first or second?
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Could I go first, please, Jeremy?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36The fun we have here. OK, your question.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Which of these pop stars is the youngest?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Uh, well it's definitely not Robbie Williams
0:09:45 > 0:09:49cos he was around when I was slightly younger than I am now.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Erm...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Harry Styles is obviously One Direction.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Olly Murs was X Factor or something like that.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'll go for Harry Styles, please.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Harry Styles is quite right, well done.- Come on! Off to a flyer.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Chris.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08The musical act Jamiroquai is most associated with which of these genres of music?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Ah, well, Jamiroquai...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Yeah, I don't think they're exactly hip-hop
0:10:15 > 0:10:16and they're certainly not heavy metal,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19so I think they come under the catch-all title of funk.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Funk is correct, well done.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Andrew.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Clair de Lune is a famous piece of music by which composer?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Er, I have heard of it
0:10:32 > 0:10:35but I couldn't tell you who composed it,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38so I'm going straight down the middle and say Mozart.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39- No!- Oh!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Challengers, do you know?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Think it's Debussy.- Debussy!- Yeah.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Andrew, sorry, it's Debussy not Mozart.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47So Chris has the chance to take the lead.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50What was the singer Tom Jones's surname at birth?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55He's Tom Woodward.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56He is Tom Woodward.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I didn't know that.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01So Chris pulls ahead and you need to get this one right, Andrew.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Come on, Andrew.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Formed in the 1950s in Manchester, a childhood band called The Rattlesnakes
0:11:07 > 0:11:10subsequently evolved into chart-topping group?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Er, well I'd assume it's too early for Queen,
0:11:16 > 0:11:21and the Bee Gees did start off in the '60s but were big in the '70s...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23No!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25..although they were big in the late '60s.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27I'd go for the Who.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28- No!- Oh!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Let's just see, any Challengers know this, what do we think?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Um, The Who were West London, I think.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Yeah that's right, it's...
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- the location is crucial here, so The Who were not Manchester.- No.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41So you're then left, obviously, Queen are later, as you say.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42It's the Bee Gees.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Andrew, so sorry, Chris has won that one.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48And he's gone into the final on Music.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Come back to us, please, both of you and we will play round three.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55So 19 in the Box have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59If this were cribbage, you'd still have a good chance, wouldn't you?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Yeah, yeah, there's always a chance to peg it back.- That's it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Exactly, so we're going to peg it back now.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07The Eggheads are all still sitting there, they are on this run as well,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09it's a perfect time to stop them in their tracks.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11And the next subject for you is History.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Oh!- Who's the historian?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It's got to be you, Jason.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- It would have been... - It would have been mine.- OK.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19How are you with History? Or should it be me?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Uh, it just depends what it is. - I'm very, very bracketed.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I mean obviously, my degree, it was only Modern History, so...
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Yeah, that's where I struggle. - I think the captain's going to take one for the team.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31OK if you've got a degree in History,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I think that probably does choose it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It doesn't mean a thing.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38So you can have, let's see, any of the three in the middle,
0:12:38 > 0:12:39so that's Beth and Barry and Pat.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Oh, no.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43They're all...they're all super sharp.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44- Um... Yep.- What do you think?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Maybe Beth?- Beth, yeah. - Put Beth through her paces?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Yeah, go on, yeah.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- Beth.- OK, Jason from 19 in the Box to take on Beth on History.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Please go to the Question Room.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02So you once served the former goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar in a pub, Jason.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I did yeah, yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Did you have some incident when you gave him the change?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Yeah, I mean, I'm from Liverpool, I'm a big Liverpool fan.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14He came in a couple of years after his retirement but he bought some
0:13:14 > 0:13:16drinks, and I went to give him his change
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and it just went straight through his hands and dropped to the floor
0:13:19 > 0:13:23and without thinking I just went straight away, "Well, you'll never make a keeper, will you?"
0:13:23 > 0:13:25JEREMY LAUGHS Brilliant.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Good luck, Jason, against Beth. Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I think, well, get it out of the way, I'd like to go first please, if that's OK?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Here we go, winning one back for the Challengers.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Which of these conflicts, Jason, took place first?
0:13:45 > 0:13:46OK. Right,
0:13:46 > 0:13:51well, the First Boer War was late 19th century,
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Crimean War around the 1840s so it's got to be the English Civil Wars.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Absolutely right, English Civil Wars.- Yep.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Beth.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03The medieval weapon known as the ballista was a giant version of what?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08SHE GROANS
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I don't think there'd be a giant axe,
0:14:10 > 0:14:11you'd still have to wield an axe.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Can't even get it from the language clues.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18I'm going to go with crossbow.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Yeah, I suppose the idea of ballistic and
0:14:19 > 0:14:22all that would suggest some sort of projectile, doesn't it?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Crossbow is right.- Oh!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- OK, Jason.- OK.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31The Louisiana Purchase, the historic land deal in which the United States acquired over
0:14:31 > 0:14:35500 million acres of land from the French government, took place in which year?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43OK, I get the impression that 1603
0:14:43 > 0:14:46was probably far too early on that one.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Potentially could be 1703...
0:14:50 > 0:14:53..but it's more likely to have been 1803, I think.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Let me just think about this.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Uh, 1703, 1803...
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I'm going to go 1803.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Yeah, let's check this with the Eggheads.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I suppose the logic is, it's got to be after the US became a country.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Eggheads?- Yes, it was linked...
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I think the deal was negotiated by Thomas Jefferson,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13who bought it off Napoleon who was short of money at the time,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16which is why he had to sell it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- So we go 1803, do we?- Mm-hm.
0:15:18 > 0:15:191803 is the right answer, Jason.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Oh, come on!- Well done, come on!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Two out of two. Good. OK, Beth your question.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31In which country did Henry V die in 1422 after becoming ill while on campaign?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I think he...
0:15:36 > 0:15:39..was ill in France.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42France is correct. 2-2.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- All right, your third question now, Jason, can be crucial.- OK.
0:15:44 > 0:15:51Italica, an ancient site in southern Spain, was the birthplace of which of these Roman emperors?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57OK. Can you spell Italica for me?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Yeah, just I-T-A-L-I-C-A.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05I've got something that's telling me that it's likely to be Trajan?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Trajan.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- I'm going to go with Trajan, yeah. - Trajan, OK.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Your team-mates know. Do you know?
0:16:13 > 0:16:14We think Trajan sounds right.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17They like Trajan and Trajan is correct, well done.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18- Yes!- Good man.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22OK, Beth, to stay in.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27The chief magistrate Cleisthenes is regarded as the founder of democracy in which Greek city-state?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Oh, they were all city-states as well.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Can I have the question again, please, Jeremy?
0:16:35 > 0:16:40The chief magistrate Cleisthenes is regarded as the founder of democracy
0:16:40 > 0:16:42in which Greek city-state?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I'm going to have to go with Athens.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46I don't really know.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49It's good that you did cos Athens is the right answer.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Three questions each, scores are level. Sorry, Jason.- OK.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's not going to be that straightforward, I'm afraid,
0:16:55 > 0:16:56we go to Sudden Death
0:16:56 > 0:16:59and it gets a little bit harder because I don't give you alternatives.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00- OK.- Here we go.
0:17:00 > 0:17:06The humorist and songwriter Tom Lehrer declared that political satire became obsolete
0:17:06 > 0:17:12when which US statesman was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the 1970s?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16The only one that's springing to mind is, er, Henry Kissinger?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Henry Kissinger is the right answer, brilliant.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Come on!- Oh, well done, Jase!
0:17:20 > 0:17:22So, Beth, to stay in.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26The Tripartite Aggression and Kadesh Operation
0:17:26 > 0:17:30are names associated with which major event of the 20th century?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34There's a lot of history in the 20th century.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40First World War?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- No, no, it's...that's quite a long way off.- Ah.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- It's actually the Suez Crisis... - Oh, OK. Yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48..because the Tripartite is the UK, France and Israel
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and Operation Kadesh was the codename of the Israeli invasion.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Could have accepted Sinai War as well.- Fair enough. - So Suez Crisis is the answer.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Well done, Jason.- Thank you.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Into the final round, you've done it.- Well done!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02You maybe just may be turning things around for the Challengers. One more round to play before the final.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Jason and Beth please come and back and we'll play it.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10So the comeback has started for 19 in the Box.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13They have lost two brains, the Eggheads have now lost one though.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And the next subject for you is Film and TV.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18So just this, it's going to be Gaynor or Dave.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It's film. Gaynor and Dave.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Um, Gaynor, are you happy to take that?- OK, yeah.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Gayn, we're going to have Gayn. - All right, and it's either Barry or Pat.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28The brain or the shirt.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I think it's got to be shirt versus blouse.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I think it's going to be a mighty battle.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Yeah, we'll clash so why not?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38All right, this could be a famous round.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Gaynor from 19 in the Box versus Barry from the Eggheads.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46And just to ensure there is no conferring, for the last time, please go to our Question Room.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48All right, so here we are, Film and TV.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I'll go first, please.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Could be a pivotal moment here in what is already an exciting contest.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Your question, Gaynor.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Which long-running Saturday sports programme was first broadcast
0:19:02 > 0:19:06in October 1958 with Peter Dimmock as presenter?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Ah, well, Saint and Greavsie I think was, um,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Ian St John and Jimmy Greaves,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19and I think World of Sport was ITV
0:19:19 > 0:19:21so I think it's Grandstand.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Grandstand is the right answer.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Hey, come on, yes!
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Go, Gaynor!
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Barry, Warmington on Sea was the setting for which TV sitcom?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Oh, a most wonderful sitcom
0:19:34 > 0:19:37which truly epitomised British life in the '40s,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39it was Dad's Army.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Dad's Army is quite right.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44OK, back to you, Gaynor.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48In which classic US TV series did Jaclyn Smith play the role of Kelly Garrett?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Uh, I did see some of Dallas,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I don't recall seeing her in that,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01and I think Alias Smith and Jones was a Western,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05erm, so I think it may be Charlie's Angels.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06It is indeed Charlie's Angels, yes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I so remember that from my childhood.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10OK, Barry.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Which 1963 film was apparently envisioned with a modest budget of 2 million
0:20:15 > 0:20:22but by the time it was completed had allegedly cost over 40 million, an enormous figure for that time?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31I think one of those 40 million was the fee paid to the leading star,
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Elizabeth Taylor.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I think that was Cleopatra.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Cleopatra's Right, well done.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39All right, so where are we? 2-2. Come on, Gaynor.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Come on, Gaynor.- Willing you into the final here.- Thank you.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47F. Murray Abraham plays the role of Dar Adal in which TV drama series?
0:20:52 > 0:20:57I actually haven't seen any of these, Jeremy, um,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59but I think House of Cards
0:20:59 > 0:21:01is a political drama.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06I have no idea what Stranger Things is but I think Homeland is about
0:21:06 > 0:21:10an American who comes back having converted to Islam so...
0:21:11 > 0:21:13..I'll plump for Homeland.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It's funny, I've watched this a lot and I think there's no way of
0:21:16 > 0:21:19guessing it. But you've got, in a sort of strangely logical way,
0:21:19 > 0:21:20to the right answer.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Homeland is right.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25OK, Barry, pressure on you now.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Victor Sifuentes, Michael Kuzak, Grace van Owen and Douglas Brackman were characters
0:21:30 > 0:21:35in which TV series, Barry, first broadcast in the US in 1986?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Now I watched Hill Street Blues a lot
0:21:40 > 0:21:42and I don't recall any of those names from it
0:21:42 > 0:21:45but I do believe, erm, Grace Van Owen was in LA Law
0:21:45 > 0:21:48so on that basis, I'll go for LA Law.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50LA Law is correct, Barry.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53OK, Gaynor, Sudden Death.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55And I don't give you options, here's your question.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00Which comedienne is the mother of the comedic actress Beattie Edmondson?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Well, I think her father's Ade Edmondson,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07um, so I think it'll be Jennifer Saunders?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Brilliant quizzing.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Jennifer Saunders is right.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Cos it would have been easy just to draw a blank, there.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14OK, Barry, to stay in.
0:22:14 > 0:22:21In 2014, which comedian became the host of the TV panel show Duck Quacks Don't Echo?
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Oh, gosh.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26I-I am at a disadvantage here because I've never watched the show,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29so I have no idea at all.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I really don't know so I shall pick a comedian out at random,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Hugh Dennis.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It's Lee Mack. You're out, Barry.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Well done, Gaynor. You've managed to level it up, that's brilliant,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43brilliant quizzing by you. You are in the final round, Barry's not,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46come back to us and we'll play the final for £9,000.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50So this is what we have been playing towards,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53it is time for the final round which as always is General Knowledge
0:22:53 > 0:22:56but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:56 > 0:22:58won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01So it's Valerie and Andrew from 19 in the Box
0:23:01 > 0:23:04but it's also Beth and Barry, the Bs, from the Eggheads.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:08 > 0:23:14Jason, Gaynor, Dave, you are playing to win 19 in the Box £9,000.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16And that's, I'm guessing, more than the pay-out at cribbage.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Oh, yes.- Usually.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Lisa, Pat and Chris, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24which is to keep this run of yours, this amazing run, going.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31This time they're all General Knowledge and you may confer.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34So, Challengers, the question is, can your three brains defeat these three?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37You've done an amazing comeback here, let's just press on.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Would you like to go first or second?
0:23:39 > 0:23:40- First?- First, I'm thinking.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47OK, Dave and team, here we go.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52The actor Robert Carlyle was born in which city in 1961?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- THEY CONFER:- Glasgow. Scottish.- Glasgow, I think.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Yeah.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03We'll go for Glasgow, Jeremy.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Glasgow is the right answer. - Ah, come on!
0:24:05 > 0:24:08All right, one point to our Challengers.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Eggheads, your first question.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14On a standard Qwerty keyboard, which letter sits between the Z and the C?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- THEY CONFER:- X.- X, yeah.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Bottom row.- Z, X, C, V, B, N, M.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- I'm sure it's X.- Yeah.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26It's not U, the U's on the top.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- And so is the P. - Yeah, yeah, you're right.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31We think that's X.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33X is right. Well done, one each.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Oof, it's tense here, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37£9,000 we're playing for.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Final round. 19 in the Box, your question.
0:24:40 > 0:24:47Who won a Best Original Song Oscar in 2001 for the film Wonder Boys?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- I don't think it... - I don't know,
0:24:53 > 0:24:54I d-don't really know it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58I don't recall Bob Dylan winning an Oscar.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00No. I don't know much about Bruce Springsteen
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- but I know Randy Newman... - Randy Newman's done films...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05He's done, he has, Thomas Newman has...
0:25:05 > 0:25:07THEY CONFER
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Yeah, I'd be tempted to go for Randy Newman myself.- Yeah.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Bob Dylan's far too cool for that, isn't he?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15He is, yeah. Randy Newman?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Jeremy, on the process of elimination
0:25:18 > 0:25:20of the two who we don't think it is,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22we're going to go for Randy Newman.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Let's check with the Eggheads. - I think it's Bob Dylan.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I think it might be a song called something like Things Have Changed,
0:25:28 > 0:25:29some title like that.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Yes, it is called Things Have Changed, Bob Dylan is the answer.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Oh!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35OK, not over.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40Eggheads, which major US city lies on the shores of Puget Sound?
0:25:41 > 0:25:42P-U-G-E-T.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- THEY CONFER:- Seattle.- Do you know, I might even have got that on my own,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- yeah, Seattle.- Seattle?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52We think that's Seattle.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Seattle is correct.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55So they've taken the lead. You've got to get this one right.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Come on, guys. - Don't give up, come on.
0:25:58 > 0:26:06In Greek mythology, which goddess helped Paris to steal Helen of Troy away from her husband Menelaus?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Well, Aphrodite was the goddess of love, wasn't she?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- Was she?- Yeah, yes.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19On the basis that it's
0:26:19 > 0:26:22to do with stealing the woman away and it's to do with love...
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I don't know, is that tenuous?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I don't know. If we don't know,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31first inclination was Aphrodite only because of the love interest.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34You're happy to go with it? You're the spokesman now.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Yeah, you choose.- I'm the spokesman, I'm not the decision-maker!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Gaynor.- Oh! OK.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Aphrodite.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Jeremy, we're not sure,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49but we're going to go for Aphrodite.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Aphrodite is correct.- Oh!- Oh!
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Tenuous but true.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Well done, you did it.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57So you're level but the Eggheads can
0:26:57 > 0:26:59take the whole contest with this one question.
0:26:59 > 0:27:07Finland Station, the site of Lenin's 1970s return to Russia after exile in Switzerland,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11is a major railway terminus in which city?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- THEY CONFER:- St Petersburg?- I think it's Saint Petersburg, yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I'm never arguing with you on railway termini, Chris.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Yeah, that'd be Saint Petersburg, wouldn't it?- I think it is.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Well, he came from Switzerland up through Germany in a sealed
0:27:25 > 0:27:27train and then across to Sweden and then
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- this extraordinary roundabout trip. - Yeah.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32He came down from Finland and arrived in St Petersburg.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Yeah.- Makes sense.- Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38The legend is, he was disguised as a fireman on the train, but he wasn't.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- I think it was completely sealed, wasn't it?- Yeah.- A strange thing.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Yeah?- I'll take that.- Yeah.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46We think that's St Petersburg.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49The correct answer is St Petersburg.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58And when they give you the story...
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- They know!- You know it's...
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You know it's going to be right, yeah.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04As soon as I heard the word railway, I thought,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06- "Chris is going to get this."- Yep. - He loves his trains.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- So commiserations to our cribbage players and brilliant quizzers, 19 in the Box.- Thank you.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Bad luck. The Eggheads are doing this a lot at the moment actually, the winning streak continues,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18they've done what comes naturally and it does mean that you're not going home with the £9,000
0:28:18 > 0:28:21so we will roll that money over to our next show.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Eggheads, well done, you lost two today,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25but my goodness, you are storming it!
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Let's see what happens next time.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32A new team of Challengers will be here and the jackpot will be £10,000.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34I know you love it when we get to ten.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Until then, goodbye.
