0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:25Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit their wits against
0:00:28 > 0:00:30possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34You ready to show off bit, Eggheads?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- We can try.- Very excited. - Can't possibly compete.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I think you might be overshadowed today.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hoping to get one over on our quiz champions
0:00:41 > 0:00:42are The Queens from London.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45This team got to know one another after years
0:00:45 > 0:00:49of touring their spectacular cabaret performances around the country.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Ruby and I'm a performer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hello, I'm Rose, and I'm a drag queen.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Cookie and I'm also a drag queen.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Chantelle, and I'm a drag performer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hi, I'm Teresa and I'm a classical crossover singer.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So, Ruby and team, hello.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- Hello.- Hi!- This is sensational.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10What can I say?
0:01:10 > 0:01:14And Teresa at the far end, you are a singer and you're you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Yes!- And the others are drag queens and you're amazing.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Thank you.- Did it take a long time to prepare for today's show?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- No.- Ten minutes. - Ten minutes?- Between us.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29So, what do you do when you go out and you perform?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31What kind of thing, you do singing, you do dancing?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Oh, I don't do any dancing!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- Sidestep.- Anyone want to admit to dancing?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Do you do any quizzing at all, team?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- We have a quiz host here. - I do, I host a quiz.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- OK.- Every fortnight, in Soho.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I love it, because I get to read the questions
0:01:46 > 0:01:48and know the answers at the same time.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52I'm quite stressed out because I don't have my answer sheet with me.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54If I don't have mine, I get scared to pieces.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57That's true. All right, let us see how you do.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Can't wait for this. Fantastic to see you all.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- How are you feeling up that end, Teresa?- I'm feeling fantastic.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- I'm ready!- OK, every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:07 > 0:02:09up for grabs for our challengers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Queens, I can tell you, this is quite good, actually.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20The Eggheads are on storming form. They've won the last 11 on the trot.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- No?- So, there's £12,000 to play for. - Whoo!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25OK, that's good.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Would you like to try?- Yes!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I thought so. You can just overwhelm them
0:02:31 > 0:02:34with the power of your personalities.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40One of you Queens against either
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Lisa, Steve, Barry, Kevin or Judith.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- I literally know nothing. - You travelled a lot.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- You'll know geography more than anyone else.- You've travelled.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Shall I have a go?- You've lived in many different countries.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Take one for the team.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- I'm going to go for it.- All right. So, the quizmaster.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01OK, Cookie Monster against which Egghead, Cookie?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Any one of them.- You know, before I came on,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I really wanted to go head-to-head with Judith, because I love Judith.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09But then Barry came out in that shirt.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14So, I'm just drawn to Barry at the moment.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Shall we do this?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's Cookie from the Queens versus Barry from the Eggheads
0:03:18 > 0:03:20on Geography. What's going to happen?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Please take your positions in our famous Question Room.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27So, where do you like to perform best, Cookie?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I used to go over to Germany quite a lot
0:03:29 > 0:03:33and perform for the troops over there. Also here as well.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35So, I did that for a few years.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40You also rap upside down while doing a handstand, if asked to?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43If asked to, but not right now because I've just had my hair done.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46No, I understand that. So, how do you feel going up against Barry?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I'm slightly nervous now. I'm just going to have to go for it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Understood. Well, Barry, you've got a shirt that matches Cookie's hair.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- So...- That's why I picked him.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- I try to live up to the occasion. - OK.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Let's see how we go here, Cookie.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Would you like to go first or second on Geography?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Let me go first, please.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Here we go.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11We're all feeling it.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15What traditional name is given to the persistent air currents
0:04:15 > 0:04:19that blow predominantly westward and towards the Equator
0:04:19 > 0:04:22in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I thought I knew the answer, then.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32And these three things came up
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and they're nothing of what I had in mind.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I don't think it's sport winds.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Trade kind of sounds a little bit like
0:04:42 > 0:04:44to do with banking and stuff like that,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48so I think that might be the trick answer.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Let me go for fruit winds.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- No, it is annoyingly the trade winds.- Oh!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00OK, Barry's first question.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Which of these capital cities is furthest north, Barry?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Well, I shall discount Rome straightaway.
0:05:10 > 0:05:16Copenhagen is on one of the islands just off the Jutland Peninsula.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20And as the Jutland Peninsula is probably further north than Berlin,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I will say Copenhagen.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Barry, you're right. Copenhagen it is.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29So, Cookie, let's focus now and get this one right. Here we go.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Cardrona and Whakapapa are ski resorts
0:05:33 > 0:05:35in which Southern Hemisphere country?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43So, the first one is called Cardrona, C-A-R-D-R-O-N-A.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45And the second one is called Whakapapa,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48which is W-H-A-K-A-P-A-P-A.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I've just come back from Australia and New Zealand.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58And I think there was some snow in New Zealand.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Cardrona kind of sounds...
0:06:00 > 0:06:04I'm being pulled towards New Zealand for that Maori kind of feel.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07But then it could be South Africa.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I'm trying to think when intelligent explanation I can give,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13like Barry would give, but I can't.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Except that New Zealand was pretty.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'm going to just jump in there and go for New Zealand.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22The answer is New Zealand.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Is it!?- Yes!- Yay!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29That's how you do it. Well done, brilliant.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Over to you, Barry. See if we've unsettled Barry.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Gichigami, meaning "big water",
0:06:36 > 0:06:40is a Native American name for which of the great lakes of North America?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Well, fortunately, as those who watch the programme know,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I'm a bit of a poetry buff.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52And one of my favourite poems, actually, is Hiawatha.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56And on Hiawatha, it starts "by the big lake Gichigami",
0:06:56 > 0:06:58which I believe is Lake Superior.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01So, I think poetry has given me the answer to this one.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Lake Superior is the right answer, Barry.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08OK, this is your question, to catch up with Barry.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- And you've got to get this one right, Cookie.- OK.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Mount Snezka is the highest mountain in which European country?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Snezka, S-N, E, with a kind of an accent,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Z with a kind of an accent, and then K-A.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Do you know, I really have no idea, so I'm just going to have to...
0:07:31 > 0:07:32..go with what I feel.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I'm being drawn towards Czech Republic.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38If it's wrong, girls, I'm really sorry.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- It's OK.- But let's go for it.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Czech Republic is correct.- Yay!
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Brilliant. Cookie, you've got two.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Let's see if it's enough to go to sudden death with Barry.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Barry, if you get this right, you're in the final.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Cozumel is an island resort in which country?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Well, the sad news is that I've been to all three countries
0:08:00 > 0:08:02but I don't recognise the name of the island.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Don't think Mexico has any island resorts.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10But Turkey certainly does.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15So, it's a toss-up really between Turkey and Thailand.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Cozumel...
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I've changed my mind, I can't think of any Turkish island resorts
0:08:20 > 0:08:23but I know Thailand does have a number,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25so on that basis, I'll go for Thailand.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28OK, so you were kind of veering between Thailand and Turkey.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Mexico is the answer. - HE LAUGHS
0:08:31 > 0:08:33How about that? We're on sudden death.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Cookie, well done.- Come on, Cookie!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Playing so well.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40You've held him off and gets a bit harder because I don't give you
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- alternative options here, OK?- OK.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48What is the name of the large park in which Berlin's zoo is located?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well, big in Germany is "gross".
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Grossen Parken Platzen?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03All right, I can see the logic there.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04It's actually called Tiergarten.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Oh, of course.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09OK. Barry, for the round,
0:09:09 > 0:09:15the region of Connemara is in which county in the west of Ireland?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I don't know for sure.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'm thinking about it.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I can think of lots of Irish counties,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24but I don't know where Connemara is.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25I'll try Galway.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Galway is the right answer, Barry. You've taken the round.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Bad luck, Cookie. Well played.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Thank you.- Barry's come through.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Cookie challenged him hard.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Come back to us, both of you, we'll play the next round.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42All right, the Queens have lost a brain, but Cookie played well there.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46The next subject is Film & TV.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Who would like this? This has got to be good for you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Chantelle.- Chantelle?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Chantelle?- Music is more my thing.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56But, yeah, film and TV.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I think I'll be better at it than other things.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- So, yeah.- OK.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- That's encouraging, isn't it? - OK, Chantelle.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Choose an Egghead. It can be anyone except Barry.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- Judith, let's do it.- Yeah?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11So, it's Chantelle from the Queens versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Please go to the famous Question Room.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Chantelle, I love your look.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Thank you very much.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I gather it may well have inspired what is called the Essex look?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Definitely. Although I think I do it a lot subtler
0:10:25 > 0:10:27than these Essex girls.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30OK. Listen, Chantelle, it's Film & TV against Judith.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Would you like to go first or second?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Seeing as I'm the lady today, I'll go first.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Here we go with your first question.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Which of these superheroes appears in the 2016 film
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54OK, I'm going towards Wonder Woman,
0:10:54 > 0:11:00but it doesn't sound that related to either of those characters.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Storm is X-Men. So, I'm thinking Black Widow.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Wonder Woman seems to make sense, but I think...
0:11:09 > 0:11:12OK. Let's do it, Black Widow.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Ah!- No!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Huh?- Team-mates, is she right?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Wonder Woman.- Wonder Woman.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20OK, I should have followed my instincts.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I know, instinct very important in this game.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25If your gut tells you something in the first moment,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27they often say just go with it. OK.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Judith, the TV show Homes Under The Hammer
0:11:32 > 0:11:34typically features which of these things?
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Well, Homes Under The Hammer, under the hammer is always an auction.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48So, I think it features property auctions.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Property auctions is the right answer.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53She's pulled ahead, but only slightly.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Chantelle, here's your question.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Which English film and TV actor, born in 1976,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02described his face as somewhere between an otter
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and something people find vaguely attractive?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12OK.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17I mean, I don't want to say anything rude about Benedict Cumberbatch,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19but I think it's probably him.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26- Benedict Cumberbatch is the right answer, well done, Chantelle.- Yes!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29OK, Judith. If you get a question right,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31you've got to do a dance as well.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Which actor played a concierge called Gustave H
0:12:35 > 0:12:39in the 2014 comedy film The Grand Budapest Hotel?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Oh, yes. I saw that. That was Ralph Fiennes.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It was Ralph Fiennes. Chantelle, your question.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You need to get this one right.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Who played the journalist Joe Bradley
0:12:53 > 0:12:55in the film Roman Holiday?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02For some reason, Roman Holiday, that was with Audrey Hepburn...
0:13:03 > 0:13:05..I believe.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09The one I'm really drawn to is James Stewart.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11I don't know!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Gregory Peck wouldn't... Let's go for it, James Stewart.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21The journalist Joel Bradley was played by Gregory Peck.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- I'm sorry!- Chantelle! Judith, well done, you're in the final round.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Chantelle, sorry, beaten by our Egghead.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Very good play though, all the same. Very determined.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Come back to us, both of you, and we'll play round three.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37As it stands, the Queens have lost a couple of brains now
0:13:37 > 0:13:39from the final round.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42The Eggheads have not lost any, so they're playing solid defence,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44the Eggheads. See if you can cut through them now.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Science is the subject.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Who is it going to be? Ruby, are you going to choose?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I'm really bad at science. But shall I just take it for the team?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Take one for the girls. - I'll take one for the girls, yes.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01OK, Ruby. Science, and against which Egghead?
0:14:01 > 0:14:05There's three left, so it's Lisa and Steve on the left, then it's Kevin,
0:14:05 > 0:14:06who's next to Judith.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09They're all very, very smart.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12But I'm so drawn to Lisa's outfit. So, I'm going to choose Lisa.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16All right, Ruby from the Queens to play Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Let's see who can get their Bunsen burner hottest on science.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27So, Ruby, you've done a lot of stage work.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30As a child, you were in Oliver?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Yes, yes.- In the West End.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Yeah, obviously without the red hair,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36but, yes, I was, when I was much younger.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And as an adult, you were the understudy
0:14:38 > 0:14:40in The Phantom Of The Opera.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I was, of Her Majesty's Theatre Tour.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45The whole Theatreland world is amazing in London, isn't it?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It is, absolutely, there's so much going on in London, it's fantastic.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50All right, so here we are on science, Ruby.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52A little way from the stage.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00All right, here is your question, Ruby.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Which of these bones is located in the human leg?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I have no idea.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Don't think it's scapula.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I'm relying on some kind of psychic ability here, I think.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I'm going to say tibia.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Let's just check with your team-mates. Do we like that?- Yes.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- We love that. It's right, well done, Ruby.- Oh!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Intuition!- So, here we go.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Lisa. Which of these dinosaurs was carnivorous?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Er, that was the Allosaurus.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Allosaurus is the right answer, Lisa, well done.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47I don't know what they do at their lunch breaks,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49they just study pictures of dinosaurs.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I just look at Rose for that!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55OK, Ruby, your second question.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Which gas makes up about 90% of the atmosphere of Jupiter?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Ooh. I've never been there myself.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Um, but I don't think it's oxygen.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I'm going to just go for helium.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Is it right, Eggheads?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19No, I would've thought it was hydrogen.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Hydrogen is the answer, Ruby.- Aw!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23A chance for Lisa to take the lead.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Lisa. In radiocommunications, what name is given to a circuit
0:16:27 > 0:16:32that suppresses the audio output of a receiver if the signal received
0:16:32 > 0:16:34falls below a certain level?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I think we shall seize on the word "suppresses" there
0:16:39 > 0:16:41and go for squelch.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Squelch is right.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Don't want to be knocked out by a squelch, Ruby,
0:16:46 > 0:16:47let's see if we can just... THEY LAUGH
0:16:48 > 0:16:51See if we can get this one right.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54What is the preferred diet of Caiman lizards?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02They don't sound like they're from an area where you would find sheep.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04If it's a lizard, would there be snails there?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Because it would probably be somewhere hot.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10I don't know, I'm thinking too much into it. I actually don't know.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I'm going to go with snakes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- What do we think, Eggheads? - I'd have gone for snakes.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16They would have all said snakes.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- And it's snails? - The answer is snails, Ruby.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Oh! Baffled the Eggheads as well there, Ruby.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- See? Great minds. - Yeah, very much so.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Lisa, well done, you're in the final.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Sorry, Ruby, knocked out, beaten by our Egghead.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31And unable to help your team in the final round.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Ruby and Lisa, come back,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35we've got one more round to play before the final.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39The Queens have lost three brains from the final round.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41The Eggheads are still all there, all five of them.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Looking a little bit too pleased with themselves, aren't they?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Yeah.- I think this is the moment, Queens.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48And it's History, which is perfect for Queens.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50So, who is the history person?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Rose or Theresa?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm going to throw Theresa in with this.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57OK, Theresa. History.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59You've got to choose an Egghead, Theresa,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and it can be either Steve or Kevin.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06I'm going to go Steve because he is slightly younger,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I might have a smidgen of a chance.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Yeah?- No offence, Kevin.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- No, No.- On the basis he's experienced fewer events?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Yeah.- Yeah. That's good logic.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20OK, Theresa from the Queens taking on Steve from the Eggheads.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23To ensure there's no conferring for the last time,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25please go to our famous Question Room.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28So, Theresa, you like to sing.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I do, yes!
0:18:30 > 0:18:34I know you do, but history is not a big part of your life.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37No. I can't even remember what I did last week.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39But you've got a nice sort of multicultural thing
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- because your parents are Italian, right?- Yes, they are, yeah.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44And you switch in and out of Italian?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Yeah, you might even get a bit of it if the answer is really difficult,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- who knows?- Well, an Italian dimension comes up a lot,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- Steve, doesn't it? - Certainly does, yes.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55There is, obviously Italy's played a major part in history.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Yeah. Good luck against Steve.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Would you like to go first or second, Theresa?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Can I go second?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05You certainly can.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07So, first question then, to Steve.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Which European country invaded Algeria in 1830?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Algeria. I think that must be France, Jeremy.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It was France, you're right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- OK, over to you, then, Theresa. - I knew that one!
0:19:26 > 0:19:31Here we go. The area known as Vinland to Viking explorers
0:19:31 > 0:19:35such as Leif Eriksson was in which continent?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Well, did the Vikings really go to Africa or Asia?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Hm.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I'm going to go North America.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- North America is right.- Agh!
0:19:49 > 0:19:51And the logic was perfect.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53All right, Steve.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56In which year did the Queen launch HMS Dreadnought,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Britain's first nuclear powered-submarine?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Yeah. I'm not 100% sure but I would go for
0:20:05 > 0:20:08the earliest of those, I'd say 1960.
0:20:08 > 0:20:121960 is quite right. Right, just keep pressing him.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Josip Broz Tito was the political leader of which country
0:20:16 > 0:20:19for several decades of the 20th century?
0:20:22 > 0:20:29Josip is J-O-S-I-P, and Broz is B-R-O-Z,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and then, Tito the surname, T-I-T-O.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Tito makes me want to go for Greece.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38However, I'm going to go Yugoslavia.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Yugoslavia is the right answer. SHE YELPS
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Right, 2-2. Let's just remember this moment.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Steve, your third question.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Who was the first Yorkist King of England?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- First Yorkist.- Yes, that's right.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It's Edward IV, Jeremy.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Judith, is he right?- I think it is.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Edward IV is correct.- Oh!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Oh, Theresa.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10All right.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14If you get this right, we go to sudden death, anything can happen.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18At the end of the 16th century and the start of the 17th century,
0:21:18 > 0:21:23John Speed from Farndon in Cheshire became famous for making what?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- So, end of the 16th century?- Yes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35So, surely they had swords before that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Ships, we must have had.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39But then, the pirates had maps.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Oh, I don't know.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Erm, I'm going to go for maps.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52The answer is maps, you've got it right again!
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Three out of...- Whoo, whoo!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00And what's great, you're applying logic brilliantly here.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I didn't know I was this intelligent!
0:22:05 > 0:22:07You're playing really well.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11OK. Three each. We go to sudden death.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I don't give you alternatives.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Steve, in 1963, the USA, the USSR and which other country
0:22:18 > 0:22:22signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Erm...torn between two.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I'm doubtless going to pick the wrong one.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35I will say...the UK.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37UK is the right answer.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Which was the other one, France? - France, yeah.- Yeah, OK.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Theresa, you need this to stay in now.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Who was shot by Violet Gibson, the daughter of Lord Ashbourne,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48in Rome in 1926?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Ah, I have no idea.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Absolutely no idea. 1926.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Uh-oh.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03OK. I'm just going to have to give a name.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Maybe she shot Lord Ashbourne?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10She shot her own father?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13It's quite... It might have gone off by accident.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16It's interesting, because of your Italian connection, I was thinking,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19"Oh! You might get this," because it is a very Italian answer.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22The person she shot was Benito Mussolini.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I was going to say Mussolini and then I thought, no, because he's...
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- Aw!- No, it's shot, but not dead.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Benito Mussolini. So, Steve has taken that round.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Oh! An Italian question, it was meant to be.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35I know, I know!
0:23:35 > 0:23:38If he'd said France and you'd said Mussolini...
0:23:38 > 0:23:41All right, Steve, come back to us, Theresa come back,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43we're going to play the final round for £12,000.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48It is time for the final round,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50which as always, is General Knowledge.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53But those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:23:53 > 0:23:55don't take part in this round,
0:23:55 > 0:24:00so, Ruby, Cookie, Chantelle and Theresa from the Queens,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02would you please leave the studio?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08OK, Rose, here we are and you're playing to win the Queens £12,000
0:24:08 > 0:24:12and they're looking on from behind in a very excited way.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Lisa, Steve, Barry, Kevin and Judith,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23they're all general knowledge.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27I usually say you can confer but it's a bit tricky on your own.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30So, Rose, the question is, can you, with your one brain,
0:24:30 > 0:24:31defeat these five?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33And would you like to go first or second?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34I'd like to go first, please.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41OK, so your first question, Rose, is this.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Which actress did Johnny Depp marry in 2015?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52And divorced as well.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56It's Amber Heard.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Amber Heard is the right answer.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Yes, we like that a lot.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02OK, first point to you.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Eggheads, in which country did the folk dance
0:25:05 > 0:25:08called the gavotte originate?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- I think that was French, wasn't it?- French, yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Le gavotte, or la gavotte. - Pretty sure it's France.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I don't think it's one where it came from somewhere else
0:25:18 > 0:25:20and the name was then turned into French.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- I think it would be France. - It's a French word.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25We think that's France, Jeremy.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27France is the right answer.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30OK, just keep pressing on here, Rose.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Here's your question, second question.
0:25:31 > 0:25:37The Republic of Texas lasted from 1836 to 1846
0:25:37 > 0:25:41after having gained independence from which country?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Goodness, let me think.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Mexico, Texas, but the Netherlands...
0:25:54 > 0:25:56..colonised...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Great Britain colonised as well.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06I'm torn between Mexico and the Netherlands.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I'm going to say Netherlands.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Let's see with the Eggheads, is she right?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15No, it's Mexico.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16It's Mexico.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Eggheads, to take the lead,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23which of these is the term for rope attached to the bow of a boat
0:26:23 > 0:26:24for tying it to a key?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- Painter.- Painter. - Rope called a painter.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35There is a boat rope called a painter, so painter.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Painter is correct, Kevin.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40So, they got two, you got one.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45You need to get this one right to stay in, Rose.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Annabel Karmel found fame for her expertise in which subject?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I literally have no idea.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Karmel.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I think I would have heard about it if it was fake tanning!
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I really don't know this one, so...
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I'm going to go with interior design.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17All right, interior design.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Now if you've got this wrong, Rose, the contest is over.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Do I ask the Eggheads, shall we check with them?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Oh!- I think Lisa might know this.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's child nutrition.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30She writes sort of very, very healthy recipes.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So, child nutrition is the answer, Rose.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- I don't have any children.- We have to say congratulations, Eggheads,
0:27:35 > 0:27:36you have won!
0:27:41 > 0:27:45The liveliest team of challengers we've had in for many a long week,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- I would say, wouldn't you, Eggs? - Yes, ever!- What a great party.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Oh, yes, party is the word, you've turned the programme
0:27:50 > 0:27:53into a party today. Thank you so much, Queens.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Honestly, loved seeing you.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:58 > 0:28:00and their winning streak continues.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03So, it does mean the challengers don't win the £12,000.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05We take the money, we roll it over to our next show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Eggheads, 12 games on the trot, wow!
0:28:08 > 0:28:11There are no words. Congratulations.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Well, there are some! Join us next time to see if a new team
0:28:14 > 0:28:18of challengers have the brains to finally take them down a peg or two.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20There'll be £13,000 waiting.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Till we quiz again, from us and the Queens, goodbye.
