0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 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?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Smiling but also looking menacing, I think.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- No!- Wherever you're watching, if you want to solve a question,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Dave has a teaser for you.
0:00:40 > 0:00:46Yes, Dagen H refers to which particular event in Swedish history?
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Dagen H.- Yep. - An event in Swedish history.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52We'll have the answer for you at the end of the show.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Taking on our awesome quiz champions
0:00:54 > 0:00:55today are The Chefs.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Now, this team of students
0:00:57 > 0:00:58from the University of Nottingham
0:00:58 > 0:01:01take their name from their shared love of cooking.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Let's meet them.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hi, I'm Freddie and I'm a classics student.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hi, I'm Dan and I'm a physics student.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Hi, there, my name is Joe and I'm a philosophy student.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Hi, I'm Fred and I'm a history student.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hi, I'm Daniel and I'm studying architecture.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- So, Freddie and team, hello. - Hello.- Great to see you.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21So University of Nottingham, Freddie.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Yes. Yes. We are currently third years
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and we'll be graduating soon.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And have you got lots of different subjects covered here?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Yeah, we've got quite a wide range of topics, I think,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33so hopefully we've got enough knowledge in general
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- to beat the Eggheads here today.- And crucially, cooking, you all cook.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Yeah, I mean, me and Joe are actually going to write
0:01:39 > 0:01:41our own student cookbook, hopefully, one day.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43We're quite big on cooking in the house.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46We've got our own, like, speciality meals, each of our own.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I think Joe quite likes...
0:01:48 > 0:01:49My speciality's a mushroom risotto.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Really?!- What time's dinner? - LAUGHTER
0:01:52 > 0:01:55We didn't have this at... when I was at college.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- It's just... It was just Pot Noodle. - No, no, no.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So you're properly using, you know, the stove and everything.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I think we like to think we're better than we actually are,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06but, yeah, we rate ourselves quite highly, don't we, guys?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Brilliant. Good luck, Challengers.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14but if the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17that prize money just rolls over to the next show. Now, Chefs,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21these eggy Eggheads have won the last 12 games.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25OK? And we need you to fry them up and cook them and serve them today.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28And if you do, you will win £13,000.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29- Wow.- Right.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31So it's a serious amount of money as a jackpot.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Would you like to get cracking?
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Yeah, let's do it, guys.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So it's one of you, please, against Dave,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Lisa, Steve, Kevin, or Judith.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46All right. Film & TV guys, what do you reckon?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Shall we go with Dan, yeah?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Yeah.- We'd like to have Daniel for TV.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55OK, Daniel.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Against which Egghead, Dan? Look at them all there.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Ready to be broken open.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Go for Steve, I think.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- I think we're going to go for Steve. - Good stuff.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Daniel from The Chefs to play Steve from the Eggheads.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Film & TV the subject.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Is this going to be the day the jackpot goes?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Please take your positions in our legendary Question Room.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16So, Daniel, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I think I'm going to go second.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25OK, good luck to you both and, Steve, we start with you.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Which TV character is famous for using a sonic screwdriver?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Is it...
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, actually you couldn't have given me a better question, Jeremy,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40cos I've watched Doctor Who from being a small child
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and I know full well he has a sonic screwdriver.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45So my answer is The Doctor from Doctor Who.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48The Doctor from Doctor Who is the right answer, Steve, well done.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Daniel,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53who plays the role of John in the TV comedy series Car Share?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Is it...
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Er, I think I've got this one.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59My mum's a big fan of him.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02It's Peter Kay.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Peter Kay is correct.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06One each. Back to you, Steve.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10In which part of the UK is the TV drama series Happy Valley set?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Yeah. It's Raquel, isn't it, Sarah Lancashire.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I think it's Yorkshire.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Yorkshire is right.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23OK, Daniel.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27The archaeologist Dr Rene Belloc appears in which of these films?
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Um...well, I mean, I've seen Jurassic Park.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Er, and Jaws but not the Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Well, seeing as Jurassic Park is all about dinosaurs,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'm going to go with that, so Jurassic Park.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Is he right, Steve?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm not exactly sure with the title of the character,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54but because you've said archaeologist,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I would probably be inclined towards Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Daniel, is the answer.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01So back to Steve for his third question,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and you can take the round with this, Steve.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Which film, for which Susan Sarandon won an Oscar,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10is based on a book by Sister Helen Prejean? Is it...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Yeah, it's quite a moving film actually, Jeremy.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's Dead Man Walking.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Very good. Susan Sarandon was indeed in Dead Man Walking.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Dead Man Walking is the right answer. He's got three out of three.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26That's... I know that's tough on you, Daniel,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28so you're beaten by our Egghead and you won't be in the final.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Please return to us, both of you. Early days. We'll play on.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- OK. Well, Daniel, sorry, but that can happen.- Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And The Chefs have lost a brain from the final round,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41but it's really, really early and just keep pressing now,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Freddie and team. Keep the hob on.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Keep the gas on. The next subject is Science.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Science.- I guess that's me, then. - I think that's you.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Are you sure? - Who are you going to take on?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Did we say Judith before?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I think Judith would be good.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I think I'll have this one, Jeremy, and, I think, take on Judith.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00- OK, Dan.- Oh, no, really?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Your, your subject is?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Physics.- Physics, OK. - Hopefully it comes up.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07So, Dan, from The Chefs versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08To ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11would you please take your positions in the Question Room.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Here we are on Science.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Good luck, Dan, don't be intimidated by Judith.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- I won't be.- Would you like to go first or second?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Er, I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25OK, here is your question.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Which of these is a condition that occasionally affects elephants?
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Is it...
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Well, I'm not familiar with this exact syndrome,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40but guessing by the fact that you wouldn't really
0:06:40 > 0:06:42ever get a floppy tusk
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and a floppy trunk is probably necessary for survival,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I suppose floppy ears syndrome would be the...
0:06:47 > 0:06:49answer that would lead it me to, so I'll go for that.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's a very good question and it's trickier than it looks.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- The answer is floppy trunk syndrome...- Really?- ..Dan.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58All right, Judith. Which of these bones
0:06:58 > 0:07:00are located in the human hand?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Well, vertebrae are in your back.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Intercostals must be something to do with your ribs...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I think it's metacarpals.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Metacarpals is right.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Right, Dan. What word taken from
0:07:16 > 0:07:19the Latin refers to the region of
0:07:19 > 0:07:25completely dark shadow cast by the Earth or Moon during an eclipse?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31So my understanding of zenith is it's more of a...
0:07:32 > 0:07:36..sun-related. I would assume that's seeing...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Something doing with seeing the sun.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Umbra is something to do with being dark,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I don't know the Latin origins of it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And again, they're all something... They're all to do with...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48..circles, I can tell you that much.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51But I'd have to go for umbra just because it's got that association in
0:07:51 > 0:07:53my brain with darkness and shadow.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Is he right, Challengers? What do you think?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56- Think so.- Yeah, they like it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Yeah, umbra is correct, well done.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00OK, so level.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Judith, your second question.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05The process of anodising, in which a metal is given
0:08:05 > 0:08:09a protective oxide layer by means of electrolysis,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12is most often carried out on which of these metals?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Oh, dear. I don't know.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I thought I knew and I'm not sure that I do.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I'm going to say aluminium.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Aluminium is the right answer, Judith. Well done.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31She's not making this easy, Dan, is she?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- No.- Get this one right and there's still hope.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Get it wrong and you are out.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Which of these birds' names is derived from its distinctive method
0:08:41 > 0:08:43of propelling itself across the water?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51So...the answer doesn't immediately jump to mind.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I don't know this.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I'll just go for cruiser swan because clipper and steamer,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00the steamer duck doesn't make any sense for transport.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Clipper goose seems inefficient to clip the water,
0:09:02 > 0:09:03if that's what it means.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Yeah, I know what you mean. Clipping the water to sort of bounce
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- along it.- Yeah, that seems...
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Let's see. Judith, do you know this one?
0:09:10 > 0:09:11I would have said steamer duck.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I have some sort of instinct about steamer duck.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15All right.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It is steamer duck, Daniel.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Oh, dear, knocked out by Judith.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23She is good. Scientists on Science, Judith, again.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Another scientist on Science.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Wow! Where will this end?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Please return to us and we'll play round three.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33As it stands, The Chefs have lost two brains from the final round.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36So the plan to just sizzle and crackle the Eggheads
0:09:36 > 0:09:39from the word go hasn't worked, but you can still win, definitely.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41We're still confident, I think, aren't we, boys?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Yeah, stay confident, that's good.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45All right. So for our brilliant students,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47the next subject is Arts & Books.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Now, who would like this?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Arts & Books.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Probably Joe, right?- Definitely. - Who are you going to take on?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Lisa or Kevin?- Dave, Lisa or Kevin?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58- Take on Kevin. - Try and knock him out.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Or Dave.- Yeah.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04THEY CONFER
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Your decision. Your decision, Joe.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Jeremy, that will be my category. I'm going to take on Lisa, please.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13OK, Joe from The Chefs to take on Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Round three can be crucial. Please go to our Question Room.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Joe, you're a philosophy student. - That's right, yeah.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22All right, good stuff.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Well, Joe, you are playing on Arts & Books.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I know that might take you outside your comfort zone,
0:10:26 > 0:10:27but would you like to go first or second?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Can I go second, please, actually?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36OK, a philosopher goes second, that's going to get us all thinking.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Right. Lisa,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40which of these artists was born in the USA?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I think that's Jackson Pollock.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Jackson Pollock is correct.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Was he just big splashes, basically?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52He used to do all sorts of things to his paintings,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- some of them less savoury than others, I believe.- Yeah.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57All right.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Your question now, Joe.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Which classic children's book opens with this line,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03"Once there were four children
0:11:03 > 0:11:06"whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy"? Is it...
0:11:13 > 0:11:17I'm pretty sure it's The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'm just going to double-check the names...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I'm going to go for
0:11:21 > 0:11:23The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Yeah. Completely right. The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Brilliant.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Lisa, the full title of Agatha Christie's novel
0:11:30 > 0:11:33that became the film The Mirror Crack'd
0:11:33 > 0:11:36is The Mirror Crack'd from what?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Assuming it's a straight lift from Tennyson,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45it would be the mirror crack'd from side to side.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Side to side is quite right.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49And we go to Judith, cos you and I were talking about Tennyson
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- the other day, weren't we? - Yes, it's the Lady of Shalott.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54The Lady Of Shalott and what's that verse,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56that famous verse that begins with the word out?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58"Out flew the web and floated wide,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00"The mirror crack'd from side to side,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03" 'The curse has come upon me,' cried the lady of Shalott."
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Oh, amazing!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- And we agreed it's still amazing to read?- Oh, I love it.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10One of my favourite poems.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Do you know it, Lisa? Do you read it sometimes?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I do. I dare say Judith did a perfect rendition there,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- so there's no need, but it's one of my favourites.- Yeah.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19OK, side to side is right.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20So, back to you, Joe.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Which of these well-known authors
0:12:22 > 0:12:24died in the same year as Shakespeare?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Pretty sure it's not Charles Dickens.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37That leaves me with the other two.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42I think I'm going to go for, if that's you pronounce it, Moliere.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- It's Cervantes.- Sure.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45OK. So...
0:12:47 > 0:12:51..potential advantage and, in fact, a round-winning question
0:12:51 > 0:12:52for Lisa now.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57Donald Farfrae is a character in which Thomas Hardy novel?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I don't know how central a character he is,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07which is bothering me slightly,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10cos I probably made a stab at it if it was...
0:13:13 > 0:13:14..a central character.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Um, I don't read Hardy for the simple reason
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I find him terminally boring.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Um, I don't know.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25And I don't think I've got a way of narrowing it down either.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Because I don't really know what most of these are based on.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35It sounds sort of vaguely Scottish, but I didn't know
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Hardy had any set in Scotland, it's possible that he does.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47I think I will go with the one with which I am least familiar, overall,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50although, as I say, my familiarity is not great,
0:13:50 > 0:13:51and go for Jude The Obscure.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Jude The Obscure.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I see Judith very upset by what you've said about Thomas Hardy.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Yes, I rather like Thomas Hardy.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Do you know the answer?- I think it's The Mayor Of Casterbridge.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04The Mayor Of Casterbridge.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- OK.- The Mayor Of Casterbridge
0:14:07 > 0:14:10is the right answer and that gives you a way back in, Joe, here,
0:14:10 > 0:14:11but you need to get this one right.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Who wrote the long poem Ash Wednesday,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16published in its entirety in 1930,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19in an attempt to come to terms with his religious struggles
0:14:19 > 0:14:22after his conversion to Christianity?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28So, you mention Christianity.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I'm pretty sure CS Lewis was Christian.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36He did write a book about God, I think.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40You know, I'm really not sure about the other two at all.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Just because I have that one kind of link...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45CS Lewis writing some kind of book on,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I think, religion and Christianity.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I'm going for CS Lewis.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51It's the obvious thing because, yes,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54the Christian dimension in Shadowlands and all that.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56TS Eliot is the poet
0:14:56 > 0:14:59who combines the poetry and the faith.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So it's TS Eliot, this one.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03So sorry, Joe, you've been beaten by Lisa.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Lisa's in the final round
0:15:04 > 0:15:07and we're going to see if the Challengers can rescue it,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09cos we've got one more round before the final.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14The Chefs have lost three brains from the final round,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16the Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17The next subject for you and the last one
0:15:17 > 0:15:20before the all-important final is Politics.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Now, who wants this?
0:15:22 > 0:15:23It's going to be Fred or Freddie.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27THEY CONFER
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Go on.- All right, Jeremy, I think that's going to have to be me.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34It's not my area of expertise, but I'll give it a go.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Understood. I'm sure you've got lots of politics going on at university.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Freddie then, against which Egghead?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42You've got two left, you've got Dave or Kevin.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I mean, I think I said before I came on the show
0:15:44 > 0:15:46that I'd always love to take on Kevin,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49but I think we've all lost so many brains already,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I think I'm going to go for Dave and hopefully knock out Dave.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55He looks a bit nervous. I'm trying to get in his head here.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Yeah. Yeah, he does.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59He looks like he's hiding something.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Freddie from The Chefs versus Dave from the Eggheads.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Please, for the last time, go to our famous Question Room.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09So Politics, Freddie. Do you want to go first or second?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I think I'll go first, Jeremy.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Good luck. Who did Nicola Sturgeon
0:16:17 > 0:16:20succeed as leader of the SNP in 2014?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Yeah, I don't think it's John Swinney.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I'm pretty sure it's Alex Salmond.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Alex Salmond is quite right, yeah. He was leader for a long time. OK.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Dave, in which month of 2017 did Theresa May
0:16:36 > 0:16:39call for a snap general election?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Right. Let me have a think about this,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48cos it could go quite easily wrong.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Usually it's about six weeks, isn't it, to a build-up to an election.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Um...yeah.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I do think it was April.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Yeah. April is right.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00One could go wrong there.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04You can do, yeah, but as I said, it's usually six weeks,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06six weeks of campaigning, isn't it?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- So...- OK. Your question, Freddie.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15Nursultan Nazarbayev became he President of which country in 1990,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18a position he would go on to hold for over 25 years?
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Well, I don't think it sounds too Greek, to honest with you,
0:17:27 > 0:17:32so I'm leaning towards the other two options.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35It's quite a tough question this one, but I'm going to have to go
0:17:35 > 0:17:38straight down the middle and say Kazakhstan, I think.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Yes, Kazakhstan is correct. Well done.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Well done. OK, Dave, in politics,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45what is the term for the doctrine and practice
0:17:45 > 0:17:49of unlimited centralised authority and sovereignty,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53as vested especially in a monarch or dictator?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Right. Dogmatism sounds like you're being dogmatic
0:18:01 > 0:18:05and just going on the same path. Doesn't really fit that definition.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Completism, again doesn't really hit me.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I like absolutism because you've got absolute monarchy,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15so absolutism is my answer.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I thought totalitarianism would come up or something like that,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20but absolutism is a bit more obscure, but it is the right answer.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Well done. 2-2.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23You're playing well, Freddie.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25See if we can get you into the final here.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30The first time the UK had a referendum about whether to remain
0:18:30 > 0:18:31in the Common Market,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34it was during the term of office of which Prime Minister?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Yeah, I know it's...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I'm pretty sure it's...
0:18:43 > 0:18:47around the later half of the 20th century,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51but obviously all these Prime Ministers are around that time.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I'm leaning towards...
0:18:56 > 0:18:59It's between James Callaghan and Harold Wilson, I think.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I'm going to say James Callaghan.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Ah, you've gone the wrong way, I'm afraid.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I was leaning towards Harold Wilson at first.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I changed my mind actually, so it's frustrating, but...
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Harold Wilson is the answer. OK, Dave,
0:19:14 > 0:19:18which British Prime Minister was born in 1852?
0:19:22 > 0:19:231852.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- That's a very good question.- 1852.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28OK. Right, well, let's have a look at dates here.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Cos if it's David Lloyd George,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34that would mean he was in his 60s when he became Prime Minister,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38but obviously, there were no old-age pensions,
0:19:38 > 0:19:39um, things like that.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Now, Asquith was slightly earlier as the Prime Minister,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47but again, could conceivably be there.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54Bonar Law was in 1923 and was a very short-term one,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56so I can't see him being 71.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Now, just because of the longevity of the career beforehand,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I'm going to go David Lloyd George.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Oh, now, you've gone the wrong way,
0:20:06 > 0:20:07but I loved your analysis of it.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- It was Herbert Henry Asquith.- OK.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12So, after three questions, the scores are level.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13This is good, Challengers.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15You've taken an Egghead to Sudden Death.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Freddie, it gets a bit harder though.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- I don't give you different options for the questions, OK?- Yep.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Which regulatory body was described by Ed Miliband in 2011
0:20:25 > 0:20:28as a toothless poodle?
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Which regulatory body?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Trying to think of...
0:20:34 > 0:20:35..who regulates...
0:20:37 > 0:20:39..TV. Urgh!
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Got in my head.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I'm just, I'm going to go, I'm going to say Ofcom.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47It's not. I mean, you've gone TV to Ofcom,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49which is the right connection,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51but if you'd started with the newspapers,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53you would've gone to the right answer.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Do you know, Challengers? - We were guessing with,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57we were toying between YouGov and Ofcom.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Well, YouGov's a part of pollsters.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Yeah.- Press Complaints Commission.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05The PCC is the answer, cos I think they were in the middle
0:21:05 > 0:21:07of that hacking scandal and all that.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08So, Dave, Sudden Death.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You have a chance to take the round on this question.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14The headquarters of the European Central Bank are in which country?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I think they're in Frankfurt, in Germany. Germany.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20If you've got it right, you're in the final round, Dave.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22The answer is Germany.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23So Dave is in the final.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Freddie, team captain on the Challengers' side, knocked out.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29It's looking difficult, but it's not impossible.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Please return to us, both of you, and we'll see what happens
0:21:32 > 0:21:34in the final round with £13,000 to play for.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39So how exciting this is. It's what we've been playing towards.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41It's time for our final round.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43As always, it's General Knowledge.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:45 > 0:21:47are not in this round, so that is
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Freddie, Dan, Joe, and Daniel from The Chefs.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Would you, please, now leave our studio?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59So, Fred, you are playing to win The Chefs £13,000.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Dave, Lisa, Steve, Kevin and Judith,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07which is the Eggheads' reputation, and to keep this run going.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Normally, I say you can confer.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Obviously that's tricky today.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17But the real question at the heart of this, Fred,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20is whether your one brain can defeat these five
0:22:20 > 0:22:21and I bet it can.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- It's been done before.- It's been done before more than once.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I think I'll go second, please, Jeremy.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33So the Eggheads have the first question and here we go.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37What name is given to a monument to commemorate a person or persons
0:22:37 > 0:22:40not actually buried at the site?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- I think it's a cenotaph. Cenotaph? - Yeah, yeah.- It might be cenotaph.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Cenotaph, yeah.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52The literal translation is empty tomb and it's cenotaph.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Didn't realise that. Cenotaph is the right answer. Well done.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57And now we go to you, Fred.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02The Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla is most famous
0:23:02 > 0:23:07for revolutionising the music of which traditional dance style?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Oh, that's a tricky one.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Music's probably not... not my strong point.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Argentinian.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20I wouldn't associate the waltz with being something Argentinian.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I don't know. I seem to associate tango with something being
0:23:23 > 0:23:26more South American. So I think I'm going to go with my gut,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29and I think I'll go for tango on that one.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Yep, there is an Argentine tango.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35You're absolutely right. Tango is the right answer. Well done.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- OK, Eggheads.- Who played the role of
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Newt Scamander in the 2016 film
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Eddie Redmayne.- Eddie Redmayne. - Eddie.
0:23:48 > 0:23:54Yeah, joining the Potterverse bandwagon, it was Eddie Redmayne.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Eddie Redmayne is right.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58So, we move
0:23:58 > 0:24:00back to you, Fred.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Old Rowley was a contemporary nickname for which British monarch?
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Ooh, that's a difficult one.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I mean, I do a history degree, but that sort of...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17I focus mainly on the modern stuff,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19so that's quite a difficult question, that.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23So I think, I think I heard you say before, "When you don't know,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26"go down the middle." So I'm going to go, and go with Charles II.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Charles II is the right answer.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Well done. Two out of two.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Now, we just need them to just have a little problem.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Scleritis is a name for an inflammation
0:24:36 > 0:24:38in which part of the human body?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Eyes.- It must be the eyes.- Eyes.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Sclera in the eye.- Yep.- Yeah.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- OK with eye?- Mm.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49We believe that's the eye, Jeremy.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Eye is right. Scleritis is an inflammation of the eye.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56OK, they've got their eyes on the target here.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58They've got three out of three, so you need to...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Because you let them start, you must get this one right
0:25:00 > 0:25:03to stay in the contest for £13,000.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05And here's your question, Fred.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Which company's model 1873 rifle became renowned
0:25:10 > 0:25:13as "the gun that won the West"?
0:25:18 > 0:25:201873.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Winchester... I think Winchester's more of a shotgun, I think.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Rifle, shotgun...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Remington, I haven't heard of.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Smith & Wesson, I have heard of,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34but I'm not quite sure what they specialise in.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I think I'm just rambling here,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38cos I don't think I'm going to come to it,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40so I think I'll go with the one I know.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I'm going to go for Winchester, cos I think it's a rifle.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46"The gun that won the West".
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I would've gone for Remington, I must say, but I would've been wrong.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- Winchester's the right answer. - Well done.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Your team love that.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Look at that team.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55OK, well, it's a shame they got their three right,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57cos sometimes they can come unstuck on their first three,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00and then you would've won £13,000 and game over.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's not game over, though. We go to Sudden Death.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05You're playing really well, Fred. So the Eggheads now have
0:26:05 > 0:26:08the first Sudden Death question and as you know, Eggs,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I don't give you alternatives.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Which international award, given annually since 1979
0:26:14 > 0:26:18to recognise the contributions of a living architect,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21is often referred to as the Nobel Prize of Architecture?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Pritzker Prize.- Pritzker Prize. - Yeah, it's the Pritzker Prize.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Pritzker Prize, yeah? - That is the Pritzker Prize.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Pritzker is right.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30The Pritzker Prize.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33All right, it's all about staying in.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- They're good, aren't they? - They are good, yeah.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Would you have got that?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- I don't think so, no.- OK.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Which member of the pop band The Monkees
0:26:41 > 0:26:44regularly wore a woollen hat?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50That's a horrible question, because I've listened to The Monkees,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54I love some of their songs, my dad is a big fan.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Unfortunately, I don't know any of the members.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I'm thinking Ray Davies, but I know that's The Kinks.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I don't know why he would've done both.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09But I don't really... I don't think I've got a better answer than that.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17No, I'm going to have to say Ray Davies, even though I'm very unsure.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18- Eggheads?- Mike Nesmith.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Mike Nesmith is the answer.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23But it's a hard reach, given that they're 30 years
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- before you were born or something like that.- Yeah.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28So, there we go on Sudden Death.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31We have to say congratulations, Eggheads. You have won.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Commiserations to you, Fred.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41You did what would have, on other days, won you the contest
0:27:41 > 0:27:43to get three right in the final round, but I'm sorry,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45the Eggheads are really on storming form at the moment,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48so you're meeting them in their best form, their best shape.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50This winning streak of yours continues.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54It does mean that the Challengers don't go home with the £13,000.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56We take that money, we roll it over to our next show
0:27:56 > 0:27:59and we say congratulations, Eggs. Who will beat you?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Oh, Dave, you had a question.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Yes, I did.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It was Dagen H.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10It was the name given to which particular event in Swedish history?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Go on, then.- Right, in 1967,
0:28:13 > 0:28:19Sweden changed from driving on the left to driving on the right.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Obviously, it's quite rare around the world for that to happen,
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- so that's the answer. - Wow. Thank you. Dagen H.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:29 > 0:28:31have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33We're going to have our own Dagen H if they do.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35£14,000 says they can't do it,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38but they get surprised sometimes, don't they?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Until we quiz again, goodbye.
