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 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:27 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain,
0:00:30 > 0:00:31they are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33On a roll, Eggheads?
0:00:33 > 0:00:34- Yes, indeed.- I think.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Lisa's got a teaser for you at home
0:00:36 > 0:00:39if you would like to ponder something throughout the show.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40So, before we go on, Lisa?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42You're going to like this one, Jeremy.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Little football teaser for you.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Sunderland did it in 1979.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Villa did it in 1981.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51The question is, who did it in 1980?
0:00:51 > 0:00:52We're all thinking about that.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56We're going to find out the answer at the end of the show from Lisa.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hoping to beat the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:58 > 0:01:01are the Salford Wolves from Greater Manchester.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Now, the members of this team normally quiz against each other
0:01:04 > 0:01:06at the Bull's Head in Walkden,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09but they have joined forces to take on the Eggheads.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- So let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Matt and I'm a sales manager.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hi, I'm Graham and I'm a self-employed plumber.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hi, I'm Norman, I'm a customer service specialist.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Hi, I'm Rich.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I'm a resource planning analyst.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Hello, I'm Bob, I'm a retired catering business owner.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27So, Matt and team, hello.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29ALL: Hello. Great to see you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And quizzing normally against each other, Matt, is that right?
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Yeah, sometimes against,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35we have combined forces in the past,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37but we do generally compete against each other.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And what about the Bull's Head, what kind of a pub is that?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It's just a local pub, public house,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45and has a quiz on Wednesday night.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48We also play in a local British Legion as well on a Thursday night.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51So you've hand-picked the best players, have you, from
0:01:51 > 0:01:52- the Bull's Head?- Yeah, I'd like...
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Yeah, the Bull's Head. I couldn't not pick him, he's my brother!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- But... - LAUGHTER
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Well, look, good luck with the Eggheads today, Challengers.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:02:03 > 0:02:05for our Challengers.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08the prize money rolls over onto the next show.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Salford Wolves, the Eggheads have won the last nine.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So the jackpot is £10,000 today.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Right. Bad news,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18they're on good form. Good news, the jackpot is a nice one.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Do you want to get cracking? - Yes, please.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24All right. The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Science.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25So who would like this?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Oh, go on, I'll take this one.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33OK, Rich, and it's either Lisa, Steve, Barry, Pat, or Chris.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Um...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Lisa?- Yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I'll go for Lisa.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Very good. So Rich, our resource planning analyst,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42to take on Lisa on science.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46please take your positions in our legendary Question Room.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So Rich, your thing is classic American cars.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Yes, I'm quite into my older cars.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I enjoy Corvettes, Camaros, things like that.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59And do you have any at home?
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Or do you just go and see them...?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Oh, no! No, I just enjoy seeing them.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's not my thing to have one,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08they are a bit too unreliable for my taste.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11It's true, I suppose maintaining them would be really difficult,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- actually.- Yeah, it would be, yeah, a bit tricky, yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15But they're a beautiful shape, aren't they, those old boxy cars?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Oh, lovely, yes. And even if you break down at the side of the road,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20you still look good doing it.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23All right, Rich, let's hope you don't break down
0:03:23 > 0:03:25at the side of the road, here, against Lisa on science.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and would you like to go first or second?
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Er, I'll go first, please.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Here we go. What is the commonly used alternative name
0:03:35 > 0:03:38for the North American Coyote?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Prairie dog,
0:03:44 > 0:03:45I think I'm going to go for.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I would have said that, but it's actually prairie wolf.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Sorry.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Lisa.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Which of these objects in our solar system
0:03:54 > 0:03:56is smaller than the Earth's moon?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Mars and Neptune are going to be that bit bigger than the moon.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I think it must be Pluto.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04It is indeed Pluto, yeah.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07OK, Rich back to you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10What happens to water when it freezes?
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Um, I'm going to think back to my science class
0:04:20 > 0:04:22that I didn't do too well in.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28And I'm going to say that it shrinks to half its size
0:04:28 > 0:04:30because I think the molecules get closer together.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33It's... No, it expands. You know, like,
0:04:33 > 0:04:34when you have a burst pipe or something,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37the water stays in it, and it gets bigger and the pipe bursts.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It expands when it freezes.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Lisa.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You can take the round with this.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Which of these is often said to be the only snake species known
0:04:45 > 0:04:50to actively construct a nest to incubate their eggs?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Is there a little...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I don't know, is there a resonance here with like a nest of vipers?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Erm... Or is that just a collective term for the snakes
0:05:05 > 0:05:07rather than...
0:05:07 > 0:05:11the actual, er, construction of a nest thereof?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I don't actually know this.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15How very awkward. Um...
0:05:16 > 0:05:19..shall we grasp at that straw and go for the puff adder?
0:05:21 > 0:05:22It's a hard one to guess.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- It's king cobra.- Interesting.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Yes.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28So Lisa's ahead.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Get this one right, Rich, and you level it up.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Which inventor, usually said to have been born in Nottinghamshire,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39devised the first knitting machine, also known as the stocking frame,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41in the 16th century?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Oh, not my forte.
0:05:50 > 0:05:57So, um, I think I'm going to have to pick the one on the right,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00and go for Henry Trengrouse.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Let's see if the Challengers know.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's quite a tricky one, this. Any Challengers know this?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- No.- No.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07No. Eggheads, do we know?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- William Lee.- They say William Lee.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12William Lee is the answer, Rich, sorry. Fallen behind, there.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I know we didn't get the best out of you.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Lisa is in the final round, but it's very early days.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Return to us, both, if you please, and we'll play Round 2.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23OK, as it stands, the Salford Wolves have lost a brain,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25they've lost Rich from the final round.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28The Eggheads, not lost any. Early days!
0:06:28 > 0:06:29The next subject is Sport.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Now, who would like to take on Sport?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33- You, Bob.- Looks like it's you, Bob.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36OK. So it's going to be Bob against which Egghead?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It can be anyone but Lisa.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Who shall we go for?- Chris?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43- Chris.- OK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Bob from the Salford Wolves.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Look how pleased Chris is about that.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- I'm in a good mood, today. - He's in a good mood!- Yeah.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Versus Chris from the Eggheads.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Please go to our Question Room, now.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57All right, well, good luck against Chris on Sport.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Would you like to go first or second, Bob?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I'll go first, please.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05And here is your question.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Which of these athletes never won an Olympic gold medal?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I'm pretty sure, I'll eliminate two of those,
0:07:15 > 0:07:16which are Coe and Christie.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I'll go for Roger Bannister.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Yes, absolutely. Roger Bannister.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Thank you.- OK, Chris.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Although best known as the venue of the Wimbledon tennis championships,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29the full name of the All-England Club also includes
0:07:29 > 0:07:31which other sport?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Well, lawn tennis was very much a side issue when it started,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39it was the All-England Croquet Club.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Croquet is correct. One each.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Bob, back to you. Danish wipe,
0:07:45 > 0:07:49dead bird and flick serve are all terms in which racket sport?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I've played a lot of badminton, um...
0:07:56 > 0:07:58and I've also played squash.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01By elimination, never having heard of it,
0:08:01 > 0:08:02I'll go with racketball.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It's actually badminton.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07- Ooh!- Yeah!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10But I guess one could do these strokes without even knowing.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I'm trying to think. Chris, do you know what a Danish wipe is?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15If you'd asked me, I'd say it was a butterfly!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Probably clobber the shuttlecock so hard it turns inside out,
0:08:18 > 0:08:19- or something, I don't know. - Pat, is that...?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Oh, the Danes are very good at badminton.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24They're one of the outstanding nations at badminton.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28So maybe a Danish wipe would be when you lose to nil,
0:08:28 > 0:08:29love points?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31OK, Chris.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Whose first match as captain of the England rugby union team,
0:08:34 > 0:08:39in 1988, resulted in a surprise 28-19 victory over Australia?
0:08:44 > 0:08:451988, you say?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- 1988, captain.- Yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50That would have been Will Carling, I believe.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Yes, you're right, Will Carling.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55OK, Bob.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57You need to get this one right to stay in.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Which cricket team played its first Test match in 1930
0:09:01 > 0:09:05but had to wait 26 years before achieving its maiden victory?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'll rule out India.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12I, I...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15..will go with my gut feeling which was Sri Lanka.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20So, 26 years before its maiden victory is actually New Zealand.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Sorry, Bob, knocked out by Chris,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26on Sport. And well done, Chris,
0:09:26 > 0:09:27you're in the final too.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Please return to us, Bob and Chris, and we'll play Round 3.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34So some of those badminton terms, Eggheads.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38the Danish wipe is kind of a backhand, all right?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Dead bird is...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Obviously the shuttlecock with the feathers is the bird,
0:09:41 > 0:09:45it's when its out of the court. And flick serve is kind of obvious.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The first one is Danish wipe, is it, W I P E?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- What did you think I said? - Danish white.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I was trying to work out why you'd resisted making any rude jokes,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55and that's obviously the reason.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56CHRIS CHUCKLES
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Matt, we're OK here, aren't we?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01We've lost a couple in battle.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Tough questions. - Yeah, very tough,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05but I think this is the moment for the upswing.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- I do too.- For the Salford Wolves to bite back.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So the next subject is Geography.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Who would like this?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15CONSPIRATORIAL MUTTERING
0:10:20 > 0:10:21What were you going to do anyway?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- It's either me or you. - I think you're better qualified...
0:10:27 > 0:10:28- I do.- It'll be Norman.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I've bitten the bullet.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32OK, Norman.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Against which Egghead, and it can't obviously be Chris or Lisa,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37so one of the three in the middle, Norman, Steve, Barry, Pat.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Yeah, we'll go for Steve, yes?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Steve.- Steve, congratulations.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46All right, Norman from the Salford Wolves
0:10:46 > 0:10:48playing Steve from the Eggheads.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Let's see what happens on Geography. Please take your positions.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57So, Norman, you saw a street cleaner outside a pub in London once.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I thought it was a street cleaner.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01He was sat there, nursing a very lonely pint.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I was on expenses, so I was having a few pints,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07and offered to buy him one.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10So, you bought him a drink and then it turned out to be who?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It turned out to be an old actor called Ricky Harris, Richard Harris.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Yeah, who's one of the greats!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Yeah, so, what, he was hiding, basically?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22He lived in the Savoy, the pub was the Coal Hole next to the Savoy,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and that was his disguise.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25He came out dressed as a street cleaner.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27LAUGHTER
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Sat there, nobody spoke to him. - And did you then become friends?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33We became friends with a small f, to be fair.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37But, yeah, we kept in touch quite a lot until his sad demise.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40So, he lives in the Savoy, he drinks at the pub around the corner,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42he disguises himself as a street cleaner,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44and because you buy him a pint, you find out who he is.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- That's amazing.- That's exactly it, yeah. I was more surprised.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49All right, well, good luck in this round.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53It is Geography, so we might range further than Central London.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56And, Norman, you can choose whether you go first or second
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- against Steve. - I'll go second, please.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Steve, here we go.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Bethnal Green and Bow and Whitechapel
0:12:06 > 0:12:08are areas in which part of London?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I hate London questions.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Bethnal Green and Whitechapel.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Eenie, meenie, minie...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- East End.- Yeah, that's it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26What's the problem?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27I've a total blank with London.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- No idea.- Do you?- No, seriously.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I think maybe, yeah, if you live in London,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33you see the tube map the whole time,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35you know where those places are.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37East End is right, well done.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38OK, Norman, your question.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Which of these seaside resorts is located in the county of Devon?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I'm not sure that Devon planners would allow them to build a tower.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Skegness is that funny Yorkshire language, isn't it,
0:12:54 > 0:12:55so it's got to be Torquay.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Yeah, Skegness is so bracing.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58The answer is Torquay.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Steve, what type of weapon appears
0:13:03 > 0:13:05at the centre of the flag of Barbados?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10That's a Trident, Jeremy.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12It is a Trident, yeah, you're right.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Norman, your question.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19What is the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York City?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Brooklyn I've always thought of as fairly central.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29For some reason, the Bronx appears to be West for me,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30but I know where Staten Island is.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think I'd go for the Bronx.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35You're absolutely right, it is the Bronx, well done.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36OK, Steve.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Your question.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42What is the capital of the Canadian province of British Columbia?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Yeah, just not rushing into this one.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49It's Victoria, Jeremy.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50It is Victoria.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Both playing well. Let's see.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53You need to get this one right,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Norman, cos you went second.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00In which part of Spain is the city of Santiago de Compostela?
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Where in Spain?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I tend to go to the south-east quite a lot.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Not sure about the middle or the north.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I think I'll go for the north-west.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15North-west is right.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Nothing to choose between you so far so, after three questions,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20it's level and we go to Sudden Death.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22And Steve, you know what that means.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- I do.- I don't give you options.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Bujumbura, capital of Burundi, stands on the shores of which lake?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Yeah... I'm a bit torn here.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'm probably going to go for the wrong one.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42I'm going to say Lake Victoria.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Eggs?- Lake Malawi or...
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Tanganyika.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Yeah, it is Tanganyika.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Steve, did you think about that too late, did you?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52No, I said I were torn.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I thought it was one or the other.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55Ah! Yes, it's Tanganyika.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57So, you have a chance, Norman,
0:14:57 > 0:15:01to take the round, and maybe turn things around for the Challengers.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04The Spanish city of Melilla
0:15:04 > 0:15:07is situated on the coast of which African country?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12So, Melilla is M-E-L-I-L-L-A.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Completely blank now, I can't think of any African countries that...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Let's go for Malawi.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26No, more north of Africa, Morocco...
0:15:27 > 0:15:31..is the answer. Melilla is situated on the coast of Morocco.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33So we're back to level pegging here,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Sudden Death. We go to you, Steve.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37What is the capital of the Madeira Islands?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Funchal.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Funchal is correct.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Norman, to stay in.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45The Gulf of Tadjoura, which divides into two
0:15:45 > 0:15:48the eastern half of the African country of Djibouti,
0:15:48 > 0:15:54is located at the extreme western end of which much larger Gulf?
0:15:56 > 0:15:57No, completely blank on that.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I was going to say Gulf of Arabia but I don't think that's anywhere...
0:16:01 > 0:16:04No, I'll go for that cos I can't think of any other.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Gulf of...?- Arabia.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Arabia? No.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09The Gulf of Tadjoura is at the extreme western end
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- of a larger Gulf, Eggheads? - Gulf of Aden?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Yes, Pat, good. Gulf of Aden is the answer.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17So, Steve, you've won through there,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19you'll be in the final as well, please come back to us.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21One more round to play before the final.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24OK, it's looking tricky for the Salford Wolves,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26but you can still do it, Challengers.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29You have lost three brains from the final round.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33The Eggheads are sitting there, looking just a little bit too happy.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35So we've got to wipe the smiles off their faces, Wolves.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37And the next subject is Music.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39The last before the final, who's doing this?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- This'll be Graham.- OK, Graham,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43against which Egghead?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45It's going to be either Pat or Barry.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Which one?- I think Barry.- Barry? - Yeah.- Barry?- Yeah.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Barry. - BARRY CHUCKLES
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Graham from the Salford Wolves.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Barry, you gave out a mean cackle, there.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I'm just thinking, this is a Salford Wolves
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- against a Leeds Rhino. - That's true!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Let's see. I can't even think which way that's going to go.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Let's see. We'll play this round, and then the final after that.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Graham, tell us what you do when you're not quizzing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I'm a self-employed plumber.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17OK, so you go around house-to-house, fixing all kinds of stuff?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Yeah, yeah, that kind of thing.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Mainly I do boiler installations, that's the biggest part of my job.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I must say, my knowledge of how my own...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28..the plumbing in my house works is just pathetic.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30How about yours, Barry?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Mine is terrible but I'm fortunate in that I have a wife
0:17:32 > 0:17:34who understands it implicitly.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I just don't understand what those big tanks are for.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41You know, there's a boiler, and then there's another tank.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42I don't know what it is.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Can you help me there? Graham?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45I'll give you my card later.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47LAUGHTER
0:17:47 > 0:17:50What would it be, the one downstairs, the enormous one?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Is it plastic or is it copper?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It's got some sort of insulation on it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Yeah, that's the cylinder. That's your hot water tank.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Oh, OK. Well, that's solved something for me.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I've been wondering for a while!
0:18:00 > 0:18:01LAUGHTER
0:18:01 > 0:18:04But when it goes wrong... It goes wrong all the time, doesn't it,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06this stuff? You're going to be in work forever.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Hopefully!- Does your plumbing ever go wrong at home?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Oh, no!
0:18:10 > 0:18:11That's one thing I CAN fix.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15All right, well, you're up against Barry.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Do you watch Eggheads?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Oh, yeah, religiously.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20So you know what Barry's capable of on a good day.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22But then you have your moments, don't you, Barry?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- I certainly do! - Sometimes on Music as well,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26so you may have chosen well, here, Graham.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Would you like to go first or second?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I'll go second, if that's OK.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Here we go, Barry, your question.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Which of these Rolling Stones songs was released first?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'm sure Street Fighting Man is probably the latest there.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I've never heard of Start Me Up.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50But I know I Can't Get No Satisfaction was certainly
0:18:50 > 0:18:52one of the earlier hits of the Stones.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55So that's what I'll go for. I Can't Get No Satisfaction.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Yes, indeed, I Can't Get No Satisfaction is the right answer.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01And to you, Graham.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04In 1980, Kenny Rogers had a UK number one single
0:19:04 > 0:19:06with Coward Of The what?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I think I'm going to go with County, Jeremy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Yeah, well done. It was Coward Of The County.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17All right, Barry.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21"What you gon do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk"
0:19:21 > 0:19:25are the opening lines to which song by the Black Eyed Peas?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I do love it when you get such erudite lyrics.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36What you going to do with all that junk?
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Oh, goodness me.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I'm sure the whole country knows this one.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Oh, well, apologies to Fergie and Will.i.am,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45but I'll go for I Got A Feeling.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Lisa knows.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49The opening lyric to I Got A Feeling is "I got a feeling."
0:19:49 > 0:19:52I would imagine it's My Humps.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55It is My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57All right, we now know that Barry's got
0:19:57 > 0:19:59a bit of a blind spot there.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04Graham, Galway Girl was a 2017 UK hit single by which singer?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10I'm going to go with Louis Tomlinson.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Let me ask your brother, Matt.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Ed Sheeran. - Ed Sheeran is the answer.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Galway Girl is by Ed Sheeran.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21So, level.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23You had a let off there, Barry.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Indeed.- Next question. Which music hall entertainer,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28originally named Matilda Wood,
0:20:28 > 0:20:32became known by the sobriquet Queen of the Halls?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38It's not Florrie Forde.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Originally, when you said the question,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Vesta Tilley was the first name that popped into my mind
0:20:44 > 0:20:46but I don't know why it did.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49But on the very spurious grounds that I think Marie Lloyd
0:20:49 > 0:20:51was a little bit better known than Vesta Tilley,
0:20:51 > 0:20:52I'll go for Marie Lloyd.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Ah, you've diverted onto the right answer.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Marie Lloyd is the answer, Barry.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Graham, I thought he was sunk there!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03OK, so you need to get this one right.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Which composer was born on May 22nd, 1813, in Leipzig?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I'm not sure of this, Jeremy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17I'm not sure at all. But...
0:21:19 > 0:21:20..I'm going to go with...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23..Richard Wagner.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Barry, you like that?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28The dates are wrong for the other two.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Yeah, Richard Wagner is the right answer, well done.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33After three questions, the scores are level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35And, Barry, this is yours.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Bringing It All Back Home is the title of a 1965 album
0:21:38 > 0:21:42by which influential American folk and rock singer?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Oh, gosh. I have heard of the album.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Folk and rock?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Doesn't sound like an early Dylan album.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It would be early at '65.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Bringing It All Back Home...
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Don't know why but I'm still going to say Bob Dylan.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Yes, Bob Dylan is correct.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Well done. So, all right, Graham,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09he keeps wriggling off the hook, doesn't he?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12You need to get this one right to stay in.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Which English singer, who died in August 2015,
0:22:17 > 0:22:21achieved her first UK number one album the day after her funeral
0:22:21 > 0:22:24with the compilation album The Very Best Of?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- What are you thinking, Graham? - I can't get the name.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33I know the answer.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's there. I just can't dig it out.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37I do know it's...
0:22:39 > 0:22:40..the female singer who died...
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Black hair, very famous, and I just can't get the name.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48No, I haven't, I can't get the answer, Jeremy,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I just haven't got it. I'm sorry.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53OK, listen, if it's any consolation,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- what you're thinking of is Amy Winehouse.- Yeah, it was.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57But it's not her. It's Cilla Black.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Oh! Course.- Yeah.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01So, Barry, well done. You're in the final round.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Sorry, Graham, beaten by our Egghead.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05You played him close, though. Got to Sudden Death.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Please return to us and we'll see what happens in the final.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14it is time for the final round which,
0:23:14 > 0:23:15as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19But, I'm afraid, those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:19 > 0:23:22won't be allowed to take part in this round so it's the Challengers,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Graham, Norman, Rich and Bob from the Salford Wolves,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30OK, Matt, here we are.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Hasn't gone quite to plan, but you can still win, no question.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36You're playing to win the Salford Wolves £10,000.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Lisa, Steve, Barry, Pat, Chris,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43the Eggheads' reputation, and to keep this streak going.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I normally say you can confer, but, with your team-mates back there,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54you're on your own, I'm afraid.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56But, as I say, you could still do it, Matt.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Can your one brain now take down these five?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I think it can. Would you like to go first or second?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I'll play second, please.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Here we go.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Eggheads, what is the approximate size of the Kalahari desert?
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Oh, gosh.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Well, nine million square kilometres would be 9,000 by 1,000.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- That's a lot.- Kalahari is quite small.- That's 700 miles.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Is it? It covers most of Botswana, doesn't it?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Yeah, but...
0:24:34 > 0:24:38It'd be 700 miles by 7,000 miles.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41That'd be all of Africa, really, wouldn't it?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43If we just double check our sums...
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Surely it has to be 900,000.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48600 miles by 600 miles, that sounds pretty decent.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- About right.- Yeah, that could be a decent desert.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53I think nine million must be most of Africa,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55and 90 million must be most of the Earth.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57LAUGHTER
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I don't know. Your geography's far better than mine.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- It's really down to maths, really. - I'm not arguing.- And, certainly,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06I don't think we can go... We can't go for something ten times bigger
0:25:06 > 0:25:08or 100 times bigger. OK, yeah?
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Happy with that, go with it.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13We think that's 900,000 square kilometres.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15900,000 square kilometres?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I was listening to some of the maths going on, it was amazing.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21900,000 square kilometres is the right answer.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22- Well done.- Well done.- OK.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Matt, your first question.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30During which conflict did the Battle of the Plains of Abraham take place?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I don't think it's the Hundred Years War.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The Napoleonic Wars were in various countries,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44so I'm going to go with Napoleonic Wars.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Let's see if the Eggheads know. Is it the Napoleonic Wars?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52No. It was in 1759, which was the Seven Years' War.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54There we go, Seven Years' War.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Eggheads, your second question.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03Who plays the role of Demelza in the recent BBC drama series, Poldark?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Eleanor Tomlinson, yeah.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Heida Reed's in it, but she's one of the others.- Right.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Couldn't tell you much about the other one,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- but it's definitely Eleanor Tomlinson.- Eleanor Tomlinson?- Yes.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20We think that's Eleanor Tomlinson.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Well done, Lisa. Eleanor Tomlinson is the right answer.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Eggheads, you have two,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27so, Matt, you've got to get this one right to stay in.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32The TV presenter Steve Backshall married which Olympian in 2016?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Pretty tricky, this. It's...
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I'm not even sure what sports they do.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46It's going to be a guess.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I'm going to guess Becky James.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Becky James is your answer.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55All right, now, you need to get this one right to stay alive
0:26:55 > 0:26:58in the contest. Let's see whether these Eggheads know.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Lisa, you know this kind of thing.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Yeah, it's Helen Glover.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Helen Glover is the answer.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13I know that was just the way the cookie crumbled, there.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Bad luck, Matt,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17and not easy when you haven't got your team-mates with you,
0:27:17 > 0:27:19so you're playing alone. Commiserations.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21No, they're...fantastic.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23They are on very good form at the moment.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26There's been quite a few games where we've had five of them.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28So, I hope you've enjoyed it.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Very much so, yeah.- Good!
0:27:30 > 0:27:32The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35They look suitably abashed and ashamed,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37but they do reign supreme over Quizland,
0:27:37 > 0:27:38there's no question.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41And it does mean the Challengers don't go home with the £10,000.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45The jackpot is really piling up now, and it rolls over to our next show.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46Eggheads, well done.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I'm just wondering if anyone's actually going to
0:27:49 > 0:27:50take you down at all!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Now, before we go, Lisa, you had a question.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54I did, and I promised you an answer.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56So, here we go.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Sunderland did it in 1979,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Villa did it in 1981,
0:28:00 > 0:28:01and who did it in 1980?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04The answer's Trevor Brooking.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06The "it" in question is score the winning goal
0:28:06 > 0:28:08in the FA Cup final that year.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10So, Sunderland is actually Alan Sunderland,
0:28:10 > 0:28:14and 1981 Villa is Rickie Villa for Spurs.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17But it was Trevor Brooking for West Ham in 1980.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Oh, that is so cunning! Thank you, Lisa, for your question.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Hope you enjoyed that. Do join us next time to see if a new team
0:28:22 > 0:28:25of Challengers have the brains to, at last, end this run.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27£11,000 says they don't.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Until then, goodbye!
