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?
0:00:23 > 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 > 0:00:36Taking on our quiz champions today are Back to Life from London.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Now, in facing off against the Eggheads,
0:00:38 > 0:00:42this friends-and-family team are fulfilling a very special promise
0:00:42 > 0:00:44they made to team captain Clive.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Let's meet them.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hi, I'm Clive, I'm a retired consultant.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hello, I'm Charlie, and I'm a software engineer.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Emma, and I'm a PhD student.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Steve, and I'm a security officer.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Martin, and I'm an NHS manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- So, Clive and team, hello. - Hello.- Hi.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Good to see you. And, Clive, tell us about this promise, then.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I was in intensive care...
0:01:08 > 0:01:11..having had three heart attacks in one day,
0:01:11 > 0:01:15and friends and family gathered around me,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17and at that point I said,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20"If I survive this, will you come on Eggheads with me?"
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And now they are here to fulfil that promise.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Well, we need a round of applause for that - you're back!
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Back at the races.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We're chuffed that we were the first thing that
0:01:29 > 0:01:31occurred to you in that situation.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Did you watch Eggheads a lot before your heart attacks?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh, constantly. And since.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Good stuff. I wish you well.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:40 > 0:01:41for our Challengers.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Now, this is pretty good for you and the team, Clive,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50cos the Eggheads have won the last 15,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and there'll be £16,000 for you if you win today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Would you like to give it a go?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Yes, indeed.- Fantastic.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58So, Clive and team, the first head-to-head battle
0:01:58 > 0:02:01is on the subject of Film & TV.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03One of you against either Dave,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Beth, Barry, Pat or Judith.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Who wants to do Film & TV?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- You're a good candidate, right? - Do you think? Do you want me to?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Yes.- OK. Yeah. - Everyone happy with that?- Yeah.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14OK, Emma, against which Egghead?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Who do you think? I don't mind. - Film & TV.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Who looks like they haven't been in a cinema for a while?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Could go with Judith.- Judith, OK.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- We'll go with Judith, please. - Very good.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Emma from Back to Life versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:02:30 > 0:02:31in the legendary Question Room.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35All right, good luck, Emma, against Judith.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Film & TV. Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39First is fine.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Here we go.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Who played the role of Bet Lynch, or as she was later known,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Bet Gilroy, on Coronation Street?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58My mum is a massive Coronation Street fan.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I have very little knowledge of it,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07but Julie Goodyear is ringing a bell,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09so I think I'm going to go with that one.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Julie Goodyear is right. Well done, Emma.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13OK, Judith, in which year
0:03:13 > 0:03:17was Fawlty Towers first broadcast on British television?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Fawlty Towers?- Fawlty Towers.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Well, not in 1985.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Was it as long ago as '65?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And there were only 12 made, weren't there?
0:03:36 > 0:03:41I-I... Oh, dear, I'm torn between '65 and '75.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'm trying to think of the clothes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45I think it was '75.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Yes, it was '75...
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Phew. I so nearly went '65, and then...- How did we get there?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54There are quite a lot of references to car strikes in it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Oh, were there?- Yeah.- I was thinking of sideburns and things,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00and that's more '70s than '60s.
0:04:00 > 0:04:031975 is correct. One each, back to you, Emma.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Rory Reid and Chris Harris have co-presented
0:04:06 > 0:04:08which of these TV series?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Um, I've never watched Top Gear.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I have seen The Great British Bake Off
0:04:18 > 0:04:20and I'm pretty sure they're not on it,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23so I'm going to guess Gardeners' World.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I might have gone that way too, but it is actually Top Gear.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29OK. So Judith has a chance
0:04:29 > 0:04:32to take the lead on the second question.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Judith, who provided the voice of the adult Elsa
0:04:35 > 0:04:39in 2013 animated film Frozen?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I've absolutely no idea cos I haven't seen it.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Kristen Bell.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53No, it's Idina Menzel, famously referred to
0:04:53 > 0:04:57by John Travolta by accident as "Adele Dazeem"...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Oh...- ..when he misread her name at the Oscars.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02So it's still one each.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Emma, On Days Like These,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07written by Quincy Jones and performed by Matt Monro,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10is the theme song to which Michael Caine film?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Uh...
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Again, I haven't seen any of those films.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Although I have kind of a vague sense of The Italian Job.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Um...
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I think I'm going to go with...
0:05:33 > 0:05:34..Funeral In Berlin.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It's The Italian Job.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41And Judith, you have a chance to take the round with this question.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Emmanuel Lubezki, born in Mexico City in 1964,
0:05:46 > 0:05:50has won multiple Academy Awards in which field?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I can never do these things.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I'm going to say cinematography and hope for the best.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03OK, cinematography.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'm just wondering if he's the guy who did Birdman. Was he?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I think he is. I think he's an associate of Inarritu.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Yeah, cinematography is the right answer, Judith,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14well done, you've taken the round.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Emma, sorry, beaten by our Egghead,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18not in the final. Judith will be there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Early days. Return to us, please, and we'll see what happens next.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So, Emmanuel Lubezki, who you rightly said was a cinematographer,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29three films, three Oscars in a row,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31hadn't happened in that category before.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It was...Gravity...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Yeah.- ..then Birdman....
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- ..then The Revenant.- Really?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Yeah. So he's very good.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42As it stands, Back to Life have lost a brain from the final round,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45so they're just biding their time on the Challengers' side.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46The Eggheads are all still there.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50The next subject for you to have a tilt at is Arts & Books.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Who would like this?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54What do you think, guys?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Anyone...want Art & Books?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I don't think anybody particularly wants it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Is anyone prepared to do Arts & Books?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06THEY SPEAK OVER EACH OTHER
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- OK, I can do it.- Sure?- Fine, yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10OK, Charlie, against which Egghead?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Can't be Judith. - I will take on Dave, please.- OK.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Charlie from Back to Life taking on
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Please, both of you, go to the Question Room now.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Well, good luck on the Arts & Books round.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I know you're a software engineer. You're up against Dave here.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Uh... First, please.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38And here we go. Long John Silver is a character in which book?
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Charlie, is it...?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Er, I hope I remember this rightly from my childhood.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I read this book on holiday, two or three times,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51and I think it's Treasure Island.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Treasure Island is correct. Well done.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56OK, Dave, over to you.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59The land of Lilliput, inhabited by tiny people,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01is the creation of which writer?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Lilliput is Gulliver's Travels, so Jonathan Swift.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12That's right, Jonathan Swift.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14One each, and we go back to you, Charlie.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19The birthplace of the artist Titian is in which modern-day country?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Um, I seem to recall very vaguely
0:08:28 > 0:08:32maybe seeing some of his work when I was on holiday in Italy,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34so I think that's the most likely option,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36so I'm going to say Italy.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Italy is correct.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You're steaming along here.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Dave, the Beat Generation
0:08:41 > 0:08:46was a literary movement based in which country in the 1950s?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Thinking of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, so USA.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57USA is correct.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Two each, nothing to choose
0:08:58 > 0:09:00between you so far.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Charlie, third question could be crucial.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Which French writer,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07whose works include La Henriade and Oedipe,
0:09:07 > 0:09:12was imprisoned in the Bastille for 11 months in 1717,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15after writing satirical verses about the aristocracy?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21OK, yes, not quite my field.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28But I do have some memory that Voltaire is generally a bit of
0:09:28 > 0:09:30an iconoclast, so...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35..on the balance of probabilities, I'm going to go for Voltaire.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Voltaire is the right answer. Well done.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Three out of three, very good.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Dave, to stay in.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Bertram, Helena and Parolles are all characters
0:09:46 > 0:09:48in which of Shakespeare's plays?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Bertram... Helena?- Yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59And Parolles. Oh, dear, I'm in trouble here.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Let's go for...
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Not going to end well, but All's Well That Ends Well.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08No, it's ended well, or it's not ended.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11All's Well That Ends Well is the right answer.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Well done, 3-3.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So the scores are level, and we go to Sudden Death, Charlie.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Gets a bit harder, I don't give you different options.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Here we go.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23In a famous 1939 novel, which character says of himself,
0:10:23 > 0:10:27"I was neat, clean, shaved and sober and I didn't care who knew it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31"I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be."?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35So, I am a fan of the detective story,
0:10:35 > 0:10:39and I'm not sure I can fish this one out. Um...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43No, I think I'm confusing it with the actor,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45but I'm going to say Jack Lemmon.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Yeah, Jack Lemmon is the actor.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51It's The Big Sleep, and it's Raymond Chandler's book,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54and it's therefore Philip Marlowe, OK?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57So Philip Marlowe is the answer.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58You're not gone yet.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Dave has to get this right to win the round.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Rosalind Howard, who was born in 1845
0:11:03 > 0:11:06and was known as the Radical Countess,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08was the inspiration for one of the main characters
0:11:08 > 0:11:11in which play by George Bernard Shaw?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Rosalind Howard?- Yes.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Radical Countess...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Could be blindingly obvious... and I'm just not getting there?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I'm going to go Major Barbara.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Major Barbara is the right answer. Well done, Dave.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26You got it. Good quizzing.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And, sorry, Charlie, bad luck with your Philip Marlowe.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31You're beaten by our Egghead.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Return to us, please, we'll play round three.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36So, a little bit tricky for our Challengers Back to Life.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40They have lost two brains from the final round, and the Eggheads,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42well, they are in good form at the moment - they haven't lost any.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44The next subject for you is Sport.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Who wants to take on Sport?
0:11:47 > 0:11:52- I will.- OK, Clive, the team captain, against which Egghead?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54And you can have any of the three in the middle.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- I'll go with Barry.- Very good.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- How's that, Barry? - Could be better, but we shall see.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Clive from Back to Life to take on Barry from the Eggheads on Sport.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Please, gentlemen, take your positions.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11So, Clive, how was it that you swapped jackets
0:12:11 > 0:12:12with Keith Moon of The Who?
0:12:12 > 0:12:18I was waiting outside a Slaughter & The Dogs concert in 1977,
0:12:18 > 0:12:23and around the corner came this very well-dressed guy in a tuxedo,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26looking very smart, and he walked up to me and said,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29"I would like to go into this gig, please,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33"but I can't go in dressed like this. Can I swap jackets?"
0:12:33 > 0:12:37And I was wearing a very nice zipped leather jacket at the time,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40and I said, "Yes, of course, but providing that you sign the jacket."
0:12:40 > 0:12:42It was Keith Moon of The Who.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:12:44 > 0:12:45So he couldn't go in in a white jacket
0:12:45 > 0:12:47cos it was a punk gig, I suppose.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Exactly, he was embarrassed.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Was that...? Were you working in the whole punk music zone then?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Yes, I was. I was working with a lot of the bands around at that time,
0:12:56 > 0:13:02mainly in merchandising, but also promoting bands and publishing.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05And I worked for NME as well, as a journalist for a while.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Was it as good as I remember? - Oh, absolutely.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Real music.- Best years of my life. - Yeah, brilliant.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15OK, well, good luck here, taking on the great Barry, Barry the brain,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17on Sport, and Clive, would you like to go first or second?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I'll go first.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Here's your first question, Clive.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26As of September 2016, what is
0:13:26 > 0:13:29the capacity of Anfield football stadium?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Well, I don't think it's going to be 34,000.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I've been there several times...
0:13:43 > 0:13:45..and they've got a very large Kop there.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Um, 2016...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I'm just wondering whether they were doing any...
0:13:54 > 0:13:56..ground repairs or anything.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Definitely not 34.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05I'll go with 44,000.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Do you know this, Barry? - Well, I would've gone for 44,000.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Yeah, but then again, I think when they rebuild, they usually put
0:14:13 > 0:14:15another 20,000 in, don't they?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16So it's 54.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19OK, Barry,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22how many times did Pete Sampras win the Wimbledon men's singles title?
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Pete Sampras.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Oh, it's not three.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Pistol Pete. Trying to remember.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I think five is too few. I'm going to go for seven.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Seven is the right answer, Barry.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39So Barry takes the lead. Clive,
0:14:39 > 0:14:40try and get this one right.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Which snooker player, known for his fast play,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45was nicknamed the Maltese Falcon?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I don't think it's Kirk Stevens
0:14:52 > 0:14:55cos he was quite a relaxed sort of player.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Tony Drago is very famous as a pool player
0:15:01 > 0:15:04as much as a snooker player.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Pool players tend to play very fast.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12There may be a link to Malta in his name, as well.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I will go with Tony Drago.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I love your logic. Tony Drago is quite right.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19OK, Barry, to take the lead.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24In early 2017, it was announced that which British athlete would receive
0:15:24 > 0:15:28an additional Olympic bronze medal after athletes who finished ahead
0:15:28 > 0:15:32of her at the 2008 Olympic Games were belatedly disqualified?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I think that was Kelly Sotherton.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42It was Kelly Sotherton. Well done.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45So he's got two and you've got one. You must get this one right, Clive,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48to stay in. Here's your question, third question.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54Which Italian football club has won more Serie A titles than any other?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Well, they've all won the title a lot of times.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Juventus is certainly the team on the up -
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I think they've won it for the last four years.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15But historically, they've also been winners multiple times.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Inter, probably less so.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I'll go with Juventus.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Juventus is the right answer.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Over 30 times, actually, so they've done very, very well.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Barry, your question. You can take the round with this,
0:16:29 > 0:16:30cos you haven't got one wrong.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Which English Test cricketer announced his retirement
0:16:32 > 0:16:36from the game in April 2017 at the age of 25?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Oh, my goodness me, this one passed me by completely.
0:16:43 > 0:16:4625 is very young to retire from cricket.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Normally the cricketers go on till their late 30s.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53So I really don't know on this,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56and it's...apologies to my contestant
0:16:56 > 0:17:00if I'm lucky enough to get it right, but with no idea whatsoever,
0:17:00 > 0:17:04I think Ben Duckett is still playing, so I'll go for Jake Ball.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05You've just gone the wrong way.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Zafar Ansari is the answer.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Went into a career in law, Barry - that is what he was thinking of.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Oh, right.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13So it's two each after three questions - level.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17We go to Sudden Death again and, Clive, it gets
0:17:17 > 0:17:20that little bit harder cos I don't give you alternative options.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Which golfer, nicknamed Slamming Sam,
0:17:23 > 0:17:28won the US Masters on three occasions between 1949 and 1954?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Sam Snead.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Sam Snead is the right answer.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36He won in '49, '52 and '54.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Well done. That's a good answer.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Now, Barry, to stay in, Djamolidine Abdoujaparov,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46nicknamed the Tashkent Terror,
0:17:46 > 0:17:51was a prominent name in which sport during the 1990s?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53The Tashkent Terror...
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I don't know, something's telling me that he might have been
0:17:57 > 0:17:59a cyclist, so I shall go for cycling.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Cycling is the right answer.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- Oh!- Well done.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05So, level, Sudden Death.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09And we go back to you, Clive, team captain. Fighting well.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Which Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer and nonprofessional golfer
0:18:13 > 0:18:16holed a putt of over 150 feet
0:18:16 > 0:18:19at a pro-am tournament in Scotland in 2012,
0:18:19 > 0:18:23widely reported as the longest televised putt of all time?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Well, I'm trying to think of a big swimmer.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Most of them are big.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Ian Thorpe is the one that would come to my mind
0:18:32 > 0:18:34as having huge arms.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I'll go with Ian Thorpe.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41No, it's even... It's, in a way, even more obvious than that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Michael Phelps.- Oh.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45All right. Barry, to take the round,
0:18:45 > 0:18:50in which year did the Russian gymnast Alexander Dityatin
0:18:50 > 0:18:53win eight Olympic medals?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Russian gymnast, eight Olympic medals...
0:18:57 > 0:18:58I don't know...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02..so I shall go for the obvious year when the Olympics were held
0:19:02 > 0:19:05in Moscow, and I'll say 1980.
0:19:05 > 0:19:081980 is the right answer, Barry. You've taken the round.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Sorry, Clive, you've been knocked out there,
0:19:10 > 0:19:11beaten by our Egghead.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Come back to us, please, both of you.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15One more round to play before the final.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19As it stands, Back to Life have lost three brains now
0:19:19 > 0:19:21from the final round,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23and the Eggheads are still all there, in a manner of speaking.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25The next subject is Geography.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28So just this round before the final.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29- Who wants this?- Better be me.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- It's you, isn't it?- Martin. - Martin. OK.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Our NHS manager, against either Pat or Beth.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Who do you think, Clive?- Beth.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Beth.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Right, Martin from Back to Life versus Beth from the Eggheads.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Let's see what happens in this last round before the final.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Take your positions, please.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51So you're doing the rear defence here, aren't you, Martin?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Seems like it.- And people often say you look like Ed Miliband?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Uh, yeah, sadly!
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Well, with or without the glasses, I'm just trying to work it out.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Does he wear glasses? - Want to have a quick look?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Yeah, maybe that's right. What do you think, Beth?
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Yeah, a little bit, without.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10So Geography, Martin - would you like to go first or second?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Oh, let's go first.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17And your first question -
0:20:17 > 0:20:20the city of Chicago is in which US state?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Ooh. Um, well, I've got a friend who is a lecturer at
0:20:27 > 0:20:28the University of Illinois,
0:20:28 > 0:20:32and I recently missed his wedding because I've just had a child,
0:20:32 > 0:20:37and he told me to fly to Chicago, so I'm going to say Illinois.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Illinois is the right answer.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Beth, what is the approximate population
0:20:42 > 0:20:43of the Republic of Ireland?
0:20:49 > 0:20:524.6 million doesn't seem like very many at all.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57I think you always think there's slightly more people...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59..than there are.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Let's go with 24.6 million people.
0:21:01 > 0:21:0224.6, wow.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Erm, you know, this will really surprise you -
0:21:05 > 0:21:06it's 4.6.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Really? I am very, very surprised, yeah.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- So you've...- Out by... - ..added another 80%. Yeah.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Martin,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Douglas is the capital of which British Crown dependency?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Oh, I went to university with a lady from the Isle of Man,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28so I think it's the Isle of Man.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Isle of Man is quite right. Well done.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So you've got two.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Beth, if you don't get this right, you'll be out, in the sin bin.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Mm-hm.- Which is the most populated Nordic country?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47From those, I think it must be Sweden.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Sweden is correct, Beth, well done.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51So one to Beth.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54You can end it if you get this right, Martin.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Which Asian country is known as the land of a million elephants?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Oh...
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I know it's not Japan...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10..cos that's the land of the rising sun.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13So it's between Cambodia and Laos.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I'm going to go for Laos and kick myself if it's Cambodia.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Laos is the right answer. Well done, Martin,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22you've won the round, so you are in the final.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25So a bit of a comeback now. Beth, knocked out.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Return to us, both, please, both of you,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and we'll play the final round for £16,000.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33So a very exciting moment, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's time for our final round, and as always, it's General Knowledge,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head to heads
0:22:39 > 0:22:42won't be allowed to take part in this round, so it's Clive,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Charlie and Emma from Back to Life, and Beth from the Eggheads,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52OK, Steve and Martin, and then there were two.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55You are playing to win Back to Life £16,000.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Really good jackpot at the moment.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Dave, Barry, Pat and Judith, you're playing for something
0:23:00 > 0:23:02that money can't buy, which is the Eggheads' reputation
0:23:02 > 0:23:04and just to keep this run going.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08They're all General Knowledge.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10You can chat about your answers before you give them.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12So, Back to Life, the question is,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16can your two brains destroy these four?
0:23:16 > 0:23:17And would you like to go first or second?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Erm, I think we'll go first, actually.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26OK, Steve, Martin, all the best.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29In terms of television viewing technology,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32if HD stands for high definition,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35for what does SD typically stand?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- That's got to be standard definition, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47We'll go for standard definition.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Steve, that's absolutely right, standard definition. Well done.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Eggs, here is your question,
0:23:52 > 0:23:53your first question.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Which of these words can mean decency or honesty?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Probity.- Probity?- Yeah. - Probity?- Probity.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07We think that's probity.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Probity, it is. Well done.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Here's your question, Challengers.
0:24:12 > 0:24:19A lawyer called Tulkinghorn appears in which Charles Dickens novel?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Do you have any idea? - No...to be honest.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I'm trying to think.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33My first thought was David Copperfield,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- but I have no confidence in that. - If he's a lawyer,
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I'm guessing some sort of plotline around inheritance and...
0:24:41 > 0:24:46I have not done Dickens, so I'm looking at you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48No, I'm pretty much guessing, so...
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Shall we go with David Copperfield?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Shall we?- Well...- Go on, then. - ..one of three.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54We'll go for David Copperfield, Jeremy, please.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57David Copperfield. Shall I check with them and see if they know?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Do you know Tulkinghorn?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03It's Bleak House, which incidentally is the only Dickens novel
0:25:03 > 0:25:06that's narrated by a woman - Esther Summerson.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08So it's Bleak House.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10OK, Eggheads, you have the chance to take the lead.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Since 1990, what has been the sole official language of Namibia?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Must be English.- Got to be English. - I don't see any reason...
0:25:19 > 0:25:22The Chinese have heavy investments, I believe, in Namibia,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- but it's not the official language. - Would they make it...?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- I don't think there's any Danish connections.- No.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Maybe, was that German...?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31In south-west Africa, yes, but I'm pretty certain it's English.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33It must be English.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Yes, I would say so. - I'm sure. It must be English.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39We're not certain, but we think it should be English.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40English is correct.
0:25:41 > 0:25:432-1. It means you must
0:25:43 > 0:25:47get this one right, Challengers, to keep the contest alive.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Therese Walter and Fernande Olivier
0:25:53 > 0:25:56were muses of which painter?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I think that's Picasso.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I think so as well.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08I know it's not Dali, cos it doesn't sound...
0:26:08 > 0:26:13- He wasn't renowned for doing...- No. - ..portraits.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- And I don't think it's Van Gogh. - Yeah.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19I went to the Picasso Museum in Antibes last summer,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21but I don't remember seeing any of the names.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- But I think it's Picasso. - Picasso seems... Yeah.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27We're going to say it's Picasso, Jeremy.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Picasso is your answer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30If you've got this right, we play on.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32If it's wrong, the contest is over.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It is Picasso. Well done. You got it right.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Still in there, drawing level with the Eggheads.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Eggheads, you've got a question in hand.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42If you get this right, the contest is over.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47The American Roy Halston Frowick, who died in 1990
0:26:47 > 0:26:51and was commonly known as Halston, found fame as what?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Fashion designer.- OK.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Yeah?- Nothing there. Never heard of him.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Very good.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05I'm advised by Judith he was a fashion designer.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08If you're right, the contest is over and you've won.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10If you're wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13The correct answer is fashion designer.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Well, there we are, Clive. We had the contest.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Yes, we've had a wonderful experience,
0:27:28 > 0:27:32and I think we got quite close at some stages.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Yeah, indeed, and with two in the final, it can certainly happen,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38and it's always just the odd question.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I hope you enjoyed it, Clive.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41We've all had a wonderful day.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Thank you very much for coming, Clive.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Thank you, Steve and Martin as well.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47It's tough in the final, isn't it?
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Particularly with four of them there.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50You know, their brains are working,
0:27:50 > 0:27:51the steam's coming out of their ears,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54and they do love to quiz, these Eggs.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55So commiserations to Back to Life,
0:27:55 > 0:27:59but one of the best stories we've ever had in the studio from Clive.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03and their winning streak continues.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06I'm afraid it means you won't be going home with the £16,000, though,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09so the money rolls over to our next show,
