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 pit
0:00:27 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Feeling studious, Eggs?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Always.- Yeah. Looking wise.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Well before we go on with the quiz,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Chris, you have a teaser for people watching at home.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I do indeed, Jeremy, yes.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46They disappeared from London in 1952.
0:00:46 > 0:00:53From Leeds, in 1959, from Sheffield in 1960 and Glasgow in 1962.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- What were they? - Brilliant, Chris, thank you.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Taking on the might of our quiz Goliaths today are the Palatimates.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Now this team all study at the University of Durham,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05where two of them work for the student newspaper.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Let's meet them.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Reese and I'm a philosophy and politics student.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Hi I'm Craig and I am also a philosophy and politics student.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hi, I'm Grace and I'm an anthropology student.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Hi, I'm Kyle and I'm a politics and International relations student.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hi I'm Jonty, and I'm a biological sciences student.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26So, Reese and team, hello.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- ALL:- Hello.- Great to see you from Durham, my old university.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I must say. And so are you on the student newspaper, Reese?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Yes. I am on the News section, I'm Deputy News Editor.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37OK. Because I used to do it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38We had to type it all out manually and stuff.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40You don't do that any more, do you?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Computer.- Complete blank expression.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- And are you enjoying Durham? - Yes, it's been very good.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Second year now, going into my third next year.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Been a positive, good experience.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Good stuff. Now do you all quiz together?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Er, no. We've never quizzed together as a team,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57but we do quiz individually.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59And I think we all enjoy a bit of quizzing.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And you're students and you read and you learn and you know stuff, right?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Hopefully.- I think so.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06The name, the team name Palatimates, why?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Yes, so, um, Durham, of course,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the colour of Durham is purple and it's called Palatinate.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14And then the newspaper which you've worked for of course is called
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Palatinate as well and us being all friends, mates,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- so we've put it together - Palatimates.- Very good.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22We wish you all the best, Palatimates.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Every day there is £1,000 worth of
0:02:24 > 0:02:26cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads
0:02:28 > 0:02:30the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Palatimates, the good news is that the Eggheads are on a run
0:02:33 > 0:02:34or a roll or something.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38They've won the last ten so we're up into five figures now,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40we've got £11,000 for you if you win.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43OK. So it's been worth coming from Durham.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Food & Drink.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49So one of you, please,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52against either Lisa, Steve, Barry, Kevin or Chris.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- You decide. - Who wants to give it a go?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- I think...- Do you want me to do it?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58You could go. Do you want to?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I feel like that was where we were leading anyway so...
0:03:00 > 0:03:02OK. So I think we'll go with Grace.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Grace on Food & Drink, OK.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Against, I'd say take on Kevin.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07- OK.- I think.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Chief strategist has spoken!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11If you can get him, then, yeah.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- Kevin.- Yeah, I can see you've worked out the rhythm of this game.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Kevin, you can't tell looking at him, but he is now panicking.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Grace from Palatimates taking on Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25And to ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28please take your positions in our legendary Question Room.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Well, good luck, Grace.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Thank you.- I gather you have something called gerphyrophobia?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Yeah, it's a phobia of bridges.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Which is a little unusual, but quite bad when I first got to Durham.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42So I had to kind of be escorted
0:03:42 > 0:03:44across all the bridges with my eyes closed. And...
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well, I was going to say, cos I know Durham so well,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48you've got Prebends Bridge,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and you've got Kingsgate Bridge and you've got, what's the...
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Is it Framwellgate? - Framwellgate, yeah.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Cos you're on a peninsula there.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55- So how...- Yeah. - How do you get around?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Oh, it was quite difficult the first time,
0:03:58 > 0:03:59getting into town, but it was just,
0:03:59 > 0:04:00I mean my friends were really,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02really good with it, and they were like,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04"Do you want to hold my hand while we walk across?" So.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Got some funny looks occasionally but, um, yeah.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Well, presumably the joy of Durham is that by the end you will have
0:04:09 > 0:04:12definitely overcome it. Cos you'll have to have done.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Yeah, hopefully. I think that was,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16my parents kind of mentioned as a little aside,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18"You do realise there are a lot of bridges in Durham?"
0:04:18 > 0:04:23And I said, "Well, if I can come out with a degree and sort of semi-cured
0:04:23 > 0:04:25"then, you know, it's a bonus."
0:04:25 > 0:04:28OK, well, I hope you can come out with a round under your belt here
0:04:28 > 0:04:31as well, Grace. Food & Drink is the subject and would you like to go
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- first or second against Kevin? - Um, first, please.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38So, here we go.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41My Stir-Fried Life published in 2016
0:04:41 > 0:04:45is the title of which TV chef's autobiography?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Um, I'm not sure on this, to be honest.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I have a few cookbooks at home,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58but think my dad is more the chef in that point.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02I think I'm going to go with Ken Hom.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04But it's a bit of a guess.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Ken Hom is the right answer.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08My Stir-Fried Life.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Well done. Kevin.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Which port in Kent gives its name to a type of flatfish
0:05:14 > 0:05:15in the sole family?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I'm not aware of either a Margate or a Broadstairs sole
0:05:18 > 0:05:25but there is a Dover sole, so Dover.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Dover sole is right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29OK, Grace, your question.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32The meatballs known as kottbullar
0:05:32 > 0:05:34originated in the cuisine of which country?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Let me spell it for you, it's K-O... - with two dots on it,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45..T-T-B-U-L-L-A-R.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Kottbullar.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I don't think it's Sweden,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I think it would probably more likely to be either
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Denmark or the Netherlands.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Um, I think I'm going to go with the Netherlands on this one.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Let's see if the Eggheads know. Any Eggs?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Sweden.- You think it's Swedish. What, Swedish meatballs?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Sweden's renowned for meatballs.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- It's true.- I'm afraid it's Sweden, Grace.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Oh, OK.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Kevin, over to you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Bakewell tarts are typically flavoured
0:06:14 > 0:06:15with which of these ingredients.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24I've had a few of these over time, so I'm hoping the answer is almonds.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Almonds is right. So, Kevin goes ahead.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So, Grace, you need to get this one right.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Okey dokey.- Here we go, no stress.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34What is typically used as a garnish in the cocktail known
0:06:34 > 0:06:35as a vodka Gibson?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Um, again I'm not very sure on this one so I think it
0:06:45 > 0:06:47might have to be a guess.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Um, I think I'm going to go with chilli pepper.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Eggheads, do you know this one?
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Yes, cocktail onion.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57A cocktail onion is the answer, Grace, sorry.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Kevin has taken it, no way back for you, beaten by our Egg here.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01But it is just the first round,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03there's lots more time to play and to win, Challengers.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Return to us, Grace and Kevin, we'll play on.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09OK, the Palatimates have lost a brain,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11they've lost Grace from the final round.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13The Eggheads are all still sitting there.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15The next subject for you is Arts & Books.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17So, who would like this?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Just what we didn't want to come up straight after Food after that.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Who reads the most? Um, this was not part of the plan.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25This was Grace's!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Shall we go Kyle? - It's going to have to be me, yeah.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30OK. Kyle.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34OK, Kyle, our politics and international relations student,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36against anyone but Kevin.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Who would you like? - Lisa or Chris maybe.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Shall we go with Chris?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Yeah, in case, if sports comes up
0:07:43 > 0:07:45then I think we'll take Lisa for that.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46- So Chris.- No problem.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- Yes.- We're going to go with Chris.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Righty-ho. Kyle from the Palatimates taking on the great Chris,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54known as the "steam roller", from the Eggheads.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Kyle, you are an expert in karate.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Er, well, I'd like to think so.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Er, I've spent enough of my life doing it.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I've been doing it since I was six years old.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09And for the past five or six years I've also been teaching it
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- to younger children as well.- Lovely.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13OK, well, if it goes wrong on Arts and Books,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15you can always use the karate on Chris.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17That's a sure-fire way of knocking him out.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I think Chris looks like a strong fellow, I think.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I think he'd stand a good chance. - He could take a few blows, yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25OK, Arts and Books Kyle, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I would like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So here we go with your first question, Kyle, good luck.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Although the evidence is against it, there is a widespread belief that
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Michelangelo created which work of art, lying for years on his back?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Now. Ah...
0:08:47 > 0:08:51My knowledge on classical arts, um, isn't the best,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54so I'm just going to go off what I know of these pieces.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Sistine Chapel, obviously on the ceiling,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00David, sculpture, and Pieta, hm.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Now I think about it, I think something like this Sistine Chapel
0:09:05 > 0:09:07would take that length of time to create.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10And I'm thinking of the elaborate system by which
0:09:10 > 0:09:12he'd probably lie on his back and do that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I think I probably would have to go with the Sistine Chapel
0:09:14 > 0:09:17just because I don't know what Pieta is and I think sculpting
0:09:17 > 0:09:20a statute such as David on your back would be quite inefficient.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I'm going to have to go with the Sistine Chapel.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Sistine Chapel ceiling is correct right. Yeah, well done.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29OK, Chris. Which of these characters dies at the end of Charles Dickens'
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Oliver Twist?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Ah, yeah, Bill Sikes has killed Nancy
0:09:37 > 0:09:40and he's pursued by the forces of law and order, shall we say,
0:09:40 > 0:09:41and winds up hanging.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42So it's Bill Sikes.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Yes, it is Bill Sikes, well done.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47One each. Back to you, Kyle.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Which of these is the title of a Booker Prize-winning novel
0:09:50 > 0:09:52by Kingsley Amis?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Now, I've not actually read any of those books myself.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04The only one I explicitly recognise is Empire of the Sun
0:10:04 > 0:10:10which I think was turned into a film in about...late 1980s.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Considering it was created into a film,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I think I probably would have to go with Empire of the Sun.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17OK, Empire of the Sun is your answer.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Any Challengers know this, is he right?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22We, well, we all seem to think Empire of the Sun as well.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Empire of the Sun was written by a guy called JG Ballard, I think.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Yeah.- Who was Moon Tiger written by?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28- ALL:- Penelope Lively.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30So the Old Devils is the answer, Kyle.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32But you're right, the film was a good memory,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34it just wasn't that author.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Chris, which French artist born in 1839
0:10:38 > 0:10:42painted Mont Sainte-Victoire, a mountain near his home
0:10:42 > 0:10:43in Aix en Provence,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46over and over again in the latter part of his career?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Ah, well Toulouse-Lautrec of course spent all his time
0:10:55 > 0:10:59in Paris painting the Moulin Rouge and stuff.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Paul Cezanne I think is too late.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05So, it's got to be Claude Monet.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Oh, no, no, no!- Oh, Barry's having chest failure.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08What's happening?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12No, Paul Cezanne is famous for painting that mountain.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It's Paul Cezanne, Chris.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Ah! Thought he was later.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Yeah, Barry's confirmed it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19OK. One each.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Kyle, that's a bit of a let-off.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26Get this one right, and maybe we can dislodge Chris with a karate chop.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Les Diners de Gala is a cookbook
0:11:28 > 0:11:30compiled and illustrated by which artist?
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Now, let me just spell it,
0:11:36 > 0:11:42so "les", is L-E-S and then "diners" is like diners but with a chapeau,
0:11:42 > 0:11:43a hat on the I.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46"De", D-E. "Gala", G-A-L-A.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Les Diners de Gala is a cookbook
0:11:49 > 0:11:52compiled and illustrated by which artist?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54We're on the subject of cookbooks again.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00Um, and I must say, er, cookbooks is not a particular expertise of mine.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I think to go with an educated guess
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I would have to look at the language.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09The language of the book that you've just mentioned sounds more French,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12particularly, particularly "les" of course.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali obviously Spanish artists.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Just from my knowledge of European languages,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20my very thin knowledge of European languages,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I think I'd probably have to go with Joan Miro,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- is that how you pronounce it? - "Juan" Miro, I guess?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- It is Salvador Dali.- Gala was the name of Salvador Dali's wife.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Well, I thought it was Gaia, that was my confusion there.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- No, it was Gala with an L. - Gala with an L.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39OK, Chris. If you get this right, you're in the final round.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43In which Shakespeare play do the following lines appear -
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Chris, here we go.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46"Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
0:12:46 > 0:12:49"Like a Colossus, and we petty men
0:12:49 > 0:12:52"Walk under his huge legs and peep about
0:12:52 > 0:12:55"To find ourselves dishonourable graves."
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- That's from Julius Caesar, Jeremy. - You know that?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- I know that.- Julius Caesar is the right answer, well done, Chris.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06With two you've taken it, you're in the final.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Sorry, Kyle, knocked out.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Return to us please both of you and we'll play round three.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13OK, as it stands the Palatimates
0:13:13 > 0:13:16have lost two brains from the final round.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18This is not yet a crisis, Reese, is it?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- No, not at all. - But I feel you've got a plan.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- We did have, yes!- Well, ducking and weaving, don't worry.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27The Eggheads can fall apart at any moment, can't you, Eggs?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29You know this. The next subject for you is Sport.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Who would like Sport? - It's got to be you, mate.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Should I go for it?- Unless Jonty's feeling particularly confident?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- If you go, and I'll go for science if it comes up.- OK.- OK.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Jonty?- Yes, yes, Jonty.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Our biological sciences student.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Against which Egghead?
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Jonty, it's going to be either Lisa or Steve or Barry on the left.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- I'd say Lisa.- Er, we're going to go against Lisa.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55So it's Jonty from the Palatimates
0:13:55 > 0:13:58taking on Lisa from the Eggheads for round three.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Please take your positions.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03So is sport your thing, Jonty?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Um, potentially.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I'm not too sure. Depending what sports come up, really, I think.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10OK. Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11I'd like to go first, please.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18So here is your first question on Sport, Jonty, good luck.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The Rugby Union international Gavin Hastings
0:14:21 > 0:14:24played 61 tests for which team?
0:14:27 > 0:14:33Um, my initial instinct was Wales, but I know if I've got that wrong...
0:14:34 > 0:14:36..I'm sure that some English or Scottish fans
0:14:36 > 0:14:38will be very angry with me but I'm going to stick with Wales
0:14:38 > 0:14:40as it was my initial instinct.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Scotland is the answer, Jonty.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Lisa, your first question.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Which French sporting occasion is also known as La Grande Boucle,
0:14:49 > 0:14:50meaning the great loop?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58La Grande Boucle, did you say?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00La Grande Boucle, B-O-U-C-L-E.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Well, it's bothering me because it feels like it
0:15:03 > 0:15:04ought to be automatic.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I've never heard it applied to Le Mans or the Tour de France,
0:15:09 > 0:15:10that's not a guarantee.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13And I know almost nothing about horse racing so
0:15:13 > 0:15:16it quite possibly is the Prix de l'Arc.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Um, I don't really know.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I'll try the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- No, it's Tour de France.- It is the Tour de France, OK.- It is.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27OK. Level still.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Jonty, back to you.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33The world champion boxer Gennady Golovkin represents which country?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- I can spell it if you like. - Yes, please.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Both words begin with G.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45G-E-N-N-A-D-Y and then G-O-L-O-V-K-I-N,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Gennady Golovkin.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Sorry, I don't know...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52..the answer. Boxing really isn't my thing.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53I think,
0:15:53 > 0:15:58looking at the name, I'm going to go for Kazakhstan.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Kazakhstan is the right answer, well done, Jonty.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02OK. Ahead of Lisa.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Which was the first city in the
0:16:06 > 0:16:09southern hemisphere to host the Olympic Games?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14My panic is stemming from the fact I can't remember
0:16:14 > 0:16:16if Melbourne's done it or not.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Obviously, it's not Rio...
0:16:19 > 0:16:20..because Sydney did it before Rio.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24So you can fairly effectively rule Rio out.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It's just a question of whether Melbourne has actually done it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I can't help but think it has.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- So I'll go with Melbourne. - Melbourne.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Let's check with the Eggheads. Eggs?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Yes, '56.- '56, Lisa.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41There we go. There's the date I was looking for!
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Melbourne '56. All right, well, that's a shame.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I thought she was going to maybe stumble there.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49You're level. And, Jonty, we go back to you for your third question.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54In 2016, Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark became Olympic gold medallists
0:16:54 > 0:16:55in which sport?
0:16:59 > 0:17:04I... Oh, no, I don't think it was hockey.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I initially thought rowing.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09But sailing's a bit of a curveball for me as well.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I think like in the first question,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I'll go with what I initially thought and say rowing.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Challengers?- We think it might be sailing.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Sailing is the answer, Jonty.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22So Lisa can take the round with this question.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25In 2016, which Northamptonshire batsman
0:17:25 > 0:17:26became the first cricketer
0:17:26 > 0:17:30to win both the PCA Players' Player of the Year Award
0:17:30 > 0:17:33and Young Player of the Year Award in the same season?
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Lisa?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I don't know why you keep reading.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40As soon as you say the word cricketer
0:17:40 > 0:17:45you know I've started to panic and I'm not going to get it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Um, poor old Jonty, he's been going with his first instinct
0:17:48 > 0:17:49and getting it wrong.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I've been ignoring my first instinct and getting it wrong.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I don't know. I shall say Sam Curran.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56No, it's Ben Duckett.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58All right. It's cricket.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Yeah.- It means nothing to me.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04So Ben Duckett is the answer, Jonty, you're off the hook on that,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06one point each after three questions.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08And we go to Sudden Death. It gets a little bit harder now, Jonty,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I don't give you alternative answers, OK.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Here we go. Which British boxer beat Wladimir Klitschko
0:18:14 > 0:18:18in a world heavyweight title bout in November 2015?
0:18:18 > 0:18:24Um, I think this was quite famous and I'm going to say Anthony Joshua.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25No, it was Tyson Fury.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Of course it was!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28OK, Lisa, for the round.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Which tennis player won his fourth straight ATP World Tour Finals title
0:18:33 > 0:18:35in November 2015?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38OK. Um, we'll go for Novak Djokovic.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Novak Djokovic's the right answer, Lisa, you're in the final round.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Sorry, Jonty, knocked out by our Egghead.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46One more round to play before the final.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Come back to us both of you and we'll play it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52OK, as it stands the Palatimates have lost three
0:18:52 > 0:18:54brains from the final round.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57The Eggheads have not lost one yet but it might change.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59It's music for you now.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03So it's Reese or Craig to do music, who is it going to be?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04I'll...
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- We'll go with Craig.- OK, Craig.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Who would you like to pick? You can have Steve or Barry.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Shall we try and take out Barry?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Yeah.- I'd say go against him. Modern music might be a trip up.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- We'll go for Barry, please. - All right. Craig from the
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Palatimates taking on Barry from the Eggheads.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24To ensure there is no conferring,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26for the last time, please go to the Question Room.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29So Craig, you and Reese have
0:19:29 > 0:19:32set up something called the Model Westminster Society?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35We have, yeah, it's a month old,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38so it's still very much brand-new.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39And what's it all about?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Um, it's all about empowering young people in
0:19:43 > 0:19:47social...in social action and social policy-making.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Wow! So, getting people to understand they can change things?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55Definitely. Um, with a particular focus on the North East.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00So both in terms of the University and the local community also.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Brilliant. All right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Well, here we go on music, Craig, against our Barry.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06And would you like to go first or second?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Um, could I go second, please?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14No problem. So, here we go, Barry, your question.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Hello I Love You and The End are famous songs by which band?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I don't think it's The Doors.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I really don't know. It just doesn't sound like Guns N' Roses
0:20:30 > 0:20:31so I'll go for Nirvana.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Oh, Barry, Barry, Barry!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Oh, I've done it again! - It's that '60s music,
0:20:35 > 0:20:36it catches you out, doesn't it?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Yes, it's Jim Morrison's The Doors.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Oh, goodness me!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41All right we'll move on. Craig, it started well.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Pharaoh's Dream Explained and The Brothers Come to Egypt
0:20:47 > 0:20:49are songs from which musical?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I think both have a theological backing
0:20:57 > 0:21:02both in terms of Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph,
0:21:02 > 0:21:09I've watched Jesus Christ Superstar, um, and I don't have many
0:21:09 > 0:21:11recollections of those in there.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15So I think I'm going to go for Joseph.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Yeah, Joseph, or as it was known,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Joseph is right. Well done.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Barry. Celine Dion won the Eurovision Song contest
0:21:24 > 0:21:27for Switzerland in which decade?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I think it was a long time ago, so I'm going to go for the 1970s.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34OK. '70s is your answer.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It was actually 1988.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Oh!- Oh, dear, Barry, let's hope she's not watching.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- I'm having a nightmare round. - Well slightly.- Absolutely.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Craig, this is looking good.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Get this one right and you'll be in the final round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48And we may be turning it around for our Palatimates here.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50"The sirens are screaming and the
0:21:50 > 0:21:54"fires are howling way down in the valley tonight" -
0:21:54 > 0:21:56are the opening lines of which famous song?
0:22:01 > 0:22:07Um, my, my father is a very big fan of the music,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11so I think it's going to be Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf,
0:22:11 > 0:22:12who he's a big fan of.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Bat Out of Hell's right, well done, you're in the final round.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Craig, how about that, you've dislodged an Egghead.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20It's happening for the Palatimates at just the right moment.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Craig and Barry, come back, rejoin your teams.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27We're going to play the final for 11,000.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28So a late surge by our Challengers
0:22:28 > 0:22:31and this is what we've been playing towards -
0:22:31 > 0:22:32it is time for our final round.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34As always, it's general knowledge questions
0:22:34 > 0:22:37but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:37 > 0:22:38don't take part in this round.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42So, Grace, Kyle and Jonty from the Palatimates and also Barry
0:22:42 > 0:22:45from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Reese and Craig, don't be nervous,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52you're playing to win the Palatimates £11,000.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Lisa, Steve, Kevin, Chris,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56you're playing for something
0:22:56 > 0:22:58that money can't buy which is to keep the run going.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00And just protect the Eggheads' reputation.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05They're all general knowledge.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08OK, and you can confer, so, Palatimates,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11the question is can your two brains defeat these four?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Something that will be talked about in Durham for years to come.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Reese and Craig, would you like to go first or second?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I think we're going to go first please, Jeremy.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Here we go with your first question, good luck.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Pierre Balmain was a famous name in which field?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It's spelt, it's Pierre and then it's B-A-L-M-A-I-N.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43Sounds very French, but I think fashion and ballet's sticking out.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Architecture was coming into my head when it came up.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49But it could be fashion.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I'm just trying to think of people in fashion.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Yeah.- Balmain. I mean, not that I'm that...
0:23:53 > 0:23:58I mean I shop from shops that are not exactly high-class fashion...
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- So Balmain. - It's a very old-school name.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's an obscure area, I think.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Ballet is not my interest. - I guess it's just taking a chance?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10What do you want to go with?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I'm drawn to architecture but I might be wrong.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Shall we just go for it? I don't think...
0:24:14 > 0:24:15We don't really know, do we?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Well, we don't really know
0:24:18 > 0:24:22but we're going to take a stab at architecture.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Architecture is your answer.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Eggheads, do you know?- Fashion.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Fashion is the answer.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30French designer. Not to worry.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Eggheads, in ancient Roman myth and literature,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Mors is the personification of which of the following?
0:24:40 > 0:24:41- ALL:- Death, death.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Yeah.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Yeah, we all agreed that's death, Jeremy.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It IS death.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Mors is death. OK, back to you, Palatimates.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58Brisbane Road is the home of which London football team?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Millwall is the Den, Charlton Athletic's
0:25:05 > 0:25:09the Valley, so it's got to be Leyton Orient.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- I assume you trust me.- I trust you.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15So hopefully my football knowledge is good enough,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17we're going to go for Leyton Orient, please.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Leyton Orient is the right answer, well done.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23So one each. Eggheads, over to you.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24In the 1730s,
0:25:24 > 0:25:29John Harrison invented a number of what kind of devices that were
0:25:29 > 0:25:31designed to help explorers at sea?
0:25:31 > 0:25:32What were they?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Chronometers.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Longitude and all that, Dava Sobel.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Again, Jeremy, we all seem to be fairly happy that's chronometers.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Chronometers is the right answer.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47That's longitude, latitude, and...
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Yeah.- It's placing you. - To determine...
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Yeah, cos for centuries they'd been able to determine latitude but the
0:25:52 > 0:25:56problem had always been determining the east-west longitude.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00This was designed to assist in that, solve the problem.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02OK. So they have two and you have one,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05you need to get this right to stay in, Reese and Craig.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Which politician became the first Englishman
0:26:08 > 0:26:11to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1903
0:26:11 > 0:26:15for his work with the international arbitration movement?
0:26:15 > 0:26:161903.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Gladwyn sounds very Welsh rather than English.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31But whether he was Welsh I guess is a different question.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Don't recognise any of the names.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38- No.- I think Eric Drummond sounds the most English.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It does. Cremer sounds... It's a bit European.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- See, when it first came up, Jebb was my first thought.- Was it?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- But...- OK.- Gladwyn...?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Yeah, I suppose it's pretty Welsh.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Shall we go with Drummond? - Um, Drummond,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59it stands out the most out of those names.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Again, we're not too sure
0:27:01 > 0:27:04but we thought Gladwyn Jebb sounds a bit Welsh
0:27:04 > 0:27:08so we've ruled him out and Cremer, we've said sounds
0:27:08 > 0:27:11a bit European, but Eric Drummond sounded like
0:27:11 > 0:27:15the most English name, so we are going to go with Eric Drummond.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Eric Drummond is your answer,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18now, if you've got it wrong the contest is over.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Eggheads, the correct answer?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Is William Randal Cremer.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Randal Cremer is the answer.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29I'm so sorry, Palatimates, we have to say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:29 > 0:27:30you have won.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Oh, bad luck, Palatimates.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well done, Craig, for getting through the early stages.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42They're just on very good form at the moment.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44They're not getting much wrong. Well, Barry!
0:27:44 > 0:27:45LAUGHTER
0:27:45 > 0:27:47We don't know what happened there Barry.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49It was one of those days, wasn't it?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Oh, Eggheads, you've done what comes naturally
0:27:51 > 0:27:52and your winning streak continues.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56So it means that the Challengers don't go home with the £11,000.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58We take the money, we roll it over.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Eggheads, well done.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Who will beat you? Oh, before we go.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Chris, your question.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Well, they disappeared from London in '52, Leeds in '59,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Sheffield in '60 and Glasgow in '62.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12They were the good old-fashioned trams.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Trams. Right.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Did you get that at home? Join us next time to see if a new team of
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Challengers have the brains to defeat them.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21£12,000 says they don't.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Surely somebody's got to win it.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Till then, goodbye.
