0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:30their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:34 > 0:00:35are The Great Grandsons.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Now, this team all went to the same secondary school together and
0:00:38 > 0:00:42the majority of them share the same great-grandfather.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Isn't that wonderful? Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Peter and I'm a semi-retired conciliator.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm David. I'm a retired financial adviser.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hi, I'm Harry, I'm a retired schoolteacher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm John, I'm a retired police inspector.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm Paul, I'm a former British Council officer.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So, Peter and The Great Grandsons, hello.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04- Hello.- Hello, Jeremy!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Great to see you. And, Peter, tell us about this.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09So, you are... You have the same great-grandfather
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- as everyone else on the team? - Four of us.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Four of you?- Yep. - OK, and who was he?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17The great-grandfather was Michael Harwood.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18He's from Ireland,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22he was in Galway and he came over to this country in 1880.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Up to the northeast of England.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27And then lived in North Shields,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and that's where we were all originally from.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31OK, so, wonderful story.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34And two of you are brothers and then the two second cousins and then
0:01:34 > 0:01:35a friend on the end there.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And do you quiz together, Peter, as well?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40We don't, we are spread around the country now.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43But most of us do regular quizzes
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and Harry's run a pub quiz for 26 years.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Yes, I noticed Harry in the middle with the pub quiz experience.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I can hear the Eggheads bristling slightly.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Here we go. Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01If the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07So, Great Grandsons, the Eggheads have won the last 16.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09So, that means there is £17,000 for you to win today
0:02:09 > 0:02:12if you can conquer them. So, would you like to try?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- I think we would. Thank you, Jeremy. - Great stuff. So, there we are.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Thinking about your great-grandfather as you do this.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of music.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25So, it's one of you, please, against either Dave, Beth, Barry,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Pat or Chris.- So, what do we...?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- David?- I think it was. I think...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Dave.- Yep, Dave?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Yep. And then we've got to decide who to play against.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Yeah, who do we want to go against?
0:02:35 > 0:02:36- OK, Dave.- Chris.- Chris?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Chris Hughes doesn't know much about music.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- THEY LAUGH - You said Chris?- Yeah. Yeah, I said Chris.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- It going to be Dave on Chris, is it? OK.- Yep.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48So, David from the Great Grandsons taking on Chris, on music,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50from the Eggheads. And just to ensure there is no conferring,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57All right, so, music is the subject, David.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59And would you like to go first or second?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07And here is your question.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Every Breath You Take is a 1983 hit single by which band?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Well, it's not The Clash. It's not The Jam.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20It's The Police, Jeremy.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21It is indeed The Police. Well done.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24OK, Chris, your question.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Which of these singers was knighted for his services to music in 2006?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35That must be Sir Tom Jones.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Tom Jones is right, Chris.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Back to you, David. Which famous piece of music
0:03:40 > 0:03:45was not given its popular name by the poet Ludwig Rellstab
0:03:45 > 0:03:49until five years after the death of its composer?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Well, I've got no idea.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59So, I have to try and make an educated guess.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Go for the Messiah Oratorio.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04That's the wrong answer.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Let's just check out this with the Eggheads a little bit.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Is that Handel, Eggheads?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Yes.- Yep.- So, what's the story with Moonlight Sonata, Barry?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11It was written by Beethoven.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15The chap you mentioned felt that it looked like moonlight striking
0:04:15 > 0:04:16the surface of a lake.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19So, Moonlight Sonata is the answer there, David.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21They've shown us their workings, the Eggheads.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23OK, Chris, to take the lead.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25"Everybody loves the things you do
0:04:25 > 0:04:27"From the way you talk to the way you move"
0:04:27 > 0:04:30are the opening lines to which song by Adele?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's not Rolling In The Deep.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Send My Love or When We Were Young?
0:04:43 > 0:04:44I have to go with When We Were Young.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47You got the answer right. When We Were Young.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50David, you need to get this right.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Cheap Thrills and Elastic Heart are singles by which singer?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I'm not sure on this one, Jeremy.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I'll go with Katy Perry.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06It's Sia.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09David, sorry. So, no way back against Chris.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Chris will be in the final round and you've been knocked out.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Come back to us, gentlemen. We'll play the second round.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19As it stands, The Great Grandsons have lost a brain from the final round.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22But bear in mind the Eggheads are in storming form at the moment.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24All sitting there, all five of them, intact.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26And the next subject is science.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Blank reactions, guys.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Who wants this? Come on. THEY LAUGH
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Someone's got to go for it.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Do you want me?- Yeah. - Yeah, I think so.- Yeah, yeah?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Great. I'll give it a go, then, Jeremy.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41OK, John, our retired police inspector.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And who would you like to inspect on the other side?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Can't be Chris.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46- Try Dave.- Dave, I think.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Yeah?- Dave?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I think we'll give... I'll give Dave a try.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52All right. John from the Great Grandsons
0:05:52 > 0:05:55versus Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Please take your positions.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02John, when you were a police officer, you met a king and queen in one day.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It was 40 years ago now since that happened,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06but I was only a young bobby on the beat then.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I was security and I met the king of boxing, Muhammad Ali.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12He was on a visit to Tyneside at the time.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17And, coincidentally, the Queen was on her Silver Jubilee tour.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Only I didn't actually speak to her, whereas I did to Muhammad Ali.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23What a gentleman. He asked me how I was, officer?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25And a good morning to me.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27But I was certainly close enough to touch the Queen.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29So, a king and queen on the same day.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31That's brilliant. Dave, we love Ali, don't we, Dave?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Yes, we do. - John, science is the round against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Would you like to go first or second?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38I'll go first, Jeremy, thanks.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46And, here we go. Which of these animals have webbed feet?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Dingo's a dog.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Tasmanian devil, platypus...
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Duckbilled platypus.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01So, we'll go for the platypus, Jeremy.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Platypus is quite right.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Here's your first question.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Dave, what is magma?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11M-A-G-M-A.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15It's molten rock.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Very good. Molten rock is right.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19OK, your question, John.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22What type of animals are marmosets and tamarins?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Primates is my immediate thought.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Not thinking that they're birds.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Marmosets....
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Tamarins... Now, could they be rodents?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Rodent, rat?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42No. I'm going to go with what I originally thought
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and go with primates.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Indeed, primates is the right answer.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Well done. Back to you, Dave.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Which of these creatures are thought to use echolocation to navigate and
0:07:52 > 0:07:53find their prey?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Don't think it's centipedes or cows.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00I think it's dolphins, please.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Cows, yeah. Dolphins is right.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Bizarre selection of possibilities, there.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11So, you are level. Nothing to choose between you.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Keep the pressure on here, John.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Pathology is the branch of medical science
0:08:15 > 0:08:19that deals with the causes and nature of what?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Pathology. When I think of pathology,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I think more about postmortems.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32So, I'm more drawn away certainly from plants.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34So it's ageing or diseases.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39"Path" would suggest to me ageing.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41No, it's disease, actually.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So, words like psychopath mean that
0:08:44 > 0:08:46you have got a disease of the psyche.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49OK. So, anyway, here we are. And it's 2-2. But Dave,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52you have a question in hand and you can take the round this.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55What is the boiling point of water on the Fahrenheit scale?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, it was 100 degrees centigrade,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05which will convert to 212 Fahrenheit.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07But let me just confirm that.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Yeah, did think that.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Don't want Barry to pull a face.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15So, I've got to just make sure I get this right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Yeah, 212 degrees Fahrenheit, please.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21OK, I'm just looking at Barry's face.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Yes...- Happy.- It's... 212 is the right answer.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27You've won the round. John, sorry.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's often on that one question, isn't it?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Yep.- So, John's knocked out.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Dave's in the final. Return to us, please.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33We'll play round three.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37As it stands, The Great Grandsons
0:09:37 > 0:09:39have lost two brains from the final round.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42The Eggheads have still not lost any. So, let's press on here.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44History is the subject now.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Who would like this?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- I'll take it. - Are you going to take that?
0:09:49 > 0:09:50I'll take that one, Jeremy.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54OK, that's Peter, our semi-retired conciliator.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56And who would you like to conciliate with now?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Any of the three in the middle.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Beth, Barry, Pat.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Beth.- I would say Beth.- Beth? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Beth, I think.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05OK, Peter, one of The Great Grandsons
0:10:05 > 0:10:07versus Beth from the Eggheads.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09And the Challengers now have to see if they can level this up.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Go to the Question Room, please.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16So, history, Peter. Would you like to go first or second against Beth?
0:10:16 > 0:10:17I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25And here we go. What name is given to the period of US history
0:10:25 > 0:10:28characterised by poverty and unemployment
0:10:28 > 0:10:32that began with the Wall Street crash in 1929
0:10:32 > 0:10:34and ended in the late 1930s?
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Well, the Dark Ages were a lot earlier in terms of British history.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I'm not quite sure about the Anarchy.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47But I'll go with the Great Depression.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50The Great Depression is quite right.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Yes, indeed. OK, Beth, how are we feeling today?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- All right, yeah.- Good, good, good.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56- Ready for your history?- Yes.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Your first question - which of these historical figures was born first?
0:11:05 > 0:11:11Well, Cleopatra being one of the Ptolemaic dynasty Pharaohs of Egypt,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13it's got to be her. Cleopatra.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Cleopatra is the right answer, Beth.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Well done. Back to you, Peter.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Who famously said in 1938,
0:11:19 > 0:11:23"I am myself a man of peace, to the depths of my soul.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27"Armed conflict between nations is a nightmare to me.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31"War is a fearful thing, and we must be very clear before we embark on it
0:11:31 > 0:11:34"that it is really the great issues that are at stake."
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Well, I know Neville Chamberlain...
0:11:42 > 0:11:47he was viewed as an appeaser with Hitler when he came back from
0:11:47 > 0:11:49the discussions with him.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51So, you'd think it's the sort of thing he might say.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Churchill? Obviously, had a bit of a more pugnacious attitude.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I know the USA were reluctant to get into war.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04So, I'll go for Franklin D Roosevelt.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05I can see why you've done that,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08because it took them a while to get into the Second World War.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09But, Eggheads, who was at?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Chamberlain.- Neville Chamberlain. - Chamberlain is the answer.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- It was him.- And we go over to Beth.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18The birthplace of the religious reformer, Martin Luther,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20is in which modern-day country?
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Beth...?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Lutheranism is very...
0:12:27 > 0:12:31big in the low countries of Belgium and Holland and...
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Germany, I'm thinking.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yeah, Germany, I think.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Germany is the right answer, well done.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39The Lutheran Church.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42OK. So, Peter, you need this one to stay in.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44In which waters did the British Fleet
0:12:44 > 0:12:49defeat the French at the Battle of the Saintes in 1782?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Saintes is S-A-I-N-T-E-S. OK?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Well, it's not one I'm familiar with.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So, it might have to be an inspired guess.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I don't think it would be the English Channel.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Well, it sounds as if it could be... Well, the islands.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10It might be...
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Islands in the Caribbean.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15There's a few, St Lucia, that sort of thing.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I'll say the Caribbean.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Caribbean is the right answer, well done.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Caribbean Sea. So, you're level with Beth.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24OK, Beth, you can take the round with this.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30The 1833 Factory Act fixed a maximum working time for children
0:13:30 > 0:13:34between 13 to 18 years of age of how many hours a week?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I don't think they had a limit on hours before.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Factory Act... I'm really drawn to 58 hours.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I don't know whether I'm just going for that because it's the middle.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Yeah, I think 58 hours was...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Over the other two.- 58 hours.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Any Eggheads know this?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- I'd have gone 68. - 68 is the right answer, Beth.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- 68 hours a week!- 68 hours a week.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Wow!- OK, so, you've held her off.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07And after three questions each, the scores are level.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10So, we go to Sudden Death. Gets a little bit tougher.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I don't give you different options, OK?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Who crowned himself King of Italy in Milan in 1805?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oh, Napoleon?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Napoleon is the right answer, yes.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Napoleon Bonaparte.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Beth, to stay in. Which king of England,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Scotland and Ireland was married twice
0:14:28 > 0:14:31to Anne Hyde and Mary of Modena?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Pretty sure it's after the Act of Settlement.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36That would be after Anne.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38So, William IV.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Oh!- Barry's pulled a face.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41I thought he might be doing, yes.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Go on, Barry.- James II.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45James II or James VII, you could've said.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50- And Anne Hyde was the mother of Mary II and Queen Anne.- Right.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Mary of Modena was the mother of the Old Pretender.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55OK. So, Beth, you've been knocked out.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57And well done, Peter. You're in the final round.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58How about that?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01And maybe it's turning here for our Challengers.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03They're playing for £17,000.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05We have one more round to play before the final.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Please return and we'll do it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- So, Peter, well done.- Thank you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Team captain in the final!
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I'm just... More hopeful than we were before, yeah.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17The strategy is starting to take fruit.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19It's all been planned, it's all been planned.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I sense it's been planned.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24You're playing for £17,000 and you are just that little step closer.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27As it stands, The Great Grandsons have lost two brains from the final round.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30But they've hit back and they knocked out Beth.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33So, the next subject, one more subject before the final,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35and it's sport.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37So, Peter, who wants to take this on?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Are you going to do it?
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Harry or Paul?
0:15:40 > 0:15:45- Yeah.- Harry?- Paul's going to take it.- Paul.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48OK, Paul, our former British Council officer.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50And you can play either Barry or Pat.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51No easy choices here.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53There isn't. I really... Who should it be?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- What do you think? - Barry, yeah. Barry.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- What do you think?- You are the one that's going up.- Yeah. Barry, yeah?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Barry, please.- I heard Barry's name about eight times.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05He will have enjoyed that. So, Paul from The Great Grandsons.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Let's see if you can knock out Barry. It really is game on.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10For the last time, please go to our famous Question Room.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14OK, well, good luck playing sport with Barry.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16And would you like to go first or second?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Here we go. August 4th, 2012, the day that Jessica Ennis,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah all won Olympic gold
0:16:29 > 0:16:32is known by what popular name?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Now, I don't know the answers to this immediately
0:16:39 > 0:16:42because I had in mind somewhere that it was
0:16:42 > 0:16:45a Tuesday. But, in fact, clearly, it wasn't.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52So, my second thought would be then that it was Super Saturday.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Super Saturday is the right answer.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Well done. It was an amazing time.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Barry, your question. In rugby union,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02how many players from each team normally make up the scrum?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Let's see, rugby union. That's...
0:17:08 > 0:17:1215 players and I think in the scrum there would be...
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Eight.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Eight is right.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Back to you, Paul. Which sportsman famously said,
0:17:19 > 0:17:23"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25"The rest, I just squandered."
0:17:29 > 0:17:32I think all three were...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35developed reputations along those lines.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40But I think from memory it was George Best.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42It was indeed George Best.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Bless him. OK, Barry.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Since 2004, the Super Bowl has been held in which month of the year?
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Oh, gosh. See now,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I've watched a few of these
0:17:54 > 0:17:57and I can't remember now what month I watched them in!
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It's at the end of the season.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03The football season is normally played throughout the winter.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- June.- No!- Oh!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Ah! February!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Ah!
0:18:13 > 0:18:16This is useful. You are playing for £17,000.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19There's already one extra Challenger in the final.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Let's see, Paul. Get this right, you will be in the final, too.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Here's your question. Which of these snooker players has won
0:18:26 > 0:18:29the World Championships on the most occasions?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30A lot riding on this.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38I can picture all of them and I've seen them all playing fantastically
0:18:38 > 0:18:42over the years. I'm thinking that Neil Robertson
0:18:42 > 0:18:45hadn't been around long enough to win it that often.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Likewise, possibly Mark Williams.
0:18:48 > 0:18:54So, the one who I would say has been around the longest is John Higgins.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56And I will go with John Higgins.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58John Higgins is your answer.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Team-mates, is he right?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Yes.- Yes, think so. - Yes, they love that!
0:19:01 > 0:19:02You are right, it is John Higgins!
0:19:02 > 0:19:04You're in the final, well done!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06So, you defeated Barry.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Oh, this is looking exciting now!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Great comeback, well-timed by our Great Grandsons.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Return to us both of you, please.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16And we'll play the final round for £17,000.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19OK, this is we have been playing towards.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It's time for the all-important final.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24As always, it's General Knowledge questions.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26But those of you who lost your head-to-heads,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I'm afraid, can't take part.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31So, David and John from The Great Grandsons,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34but also Beth and Barry from the Eggheads,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Peter, Harry and Paul,
0:19:39 > 0:19:43you are playing to win The Great Grandsons £17,000.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Dave, Pat and Chris, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49which is to defend the Eggheads' precious repetition.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Now, as usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55They're all General Knowledge and you may confer.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57So, Great Grandsons, the question is,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01can your three brains defeat these three and take the great jackpot?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04And Peter, Harry and Paul, would you like to go first or second?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06We'd like to go first, Jeremy, please.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12All right. All the best to you.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13And here's your first question.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Pope Francis was born with what first name?
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Pope Francis.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I think it's Jorge.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- That's my first impression. - Pope Francis?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29He's Argentinian.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- Yeah.- So...- That sounds like an Argentinian name, then.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I would definitely rule Mauricio out.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- You would?- I think it is Jorge.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42OK. I'll go with you.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Jorge.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Jorge is the right answer.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47That's actually very good quizzing, well done.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Well done, yeah. - Eggheads, your first question.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58"Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read,"
0:20:58 > 0:21:01is a line attributed to which American comedian?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06- Groucho Marx.- OK.- Yeah?- Yep.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- I've not heard it, but... - Yeah, it's Groucho Marx.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10- That's fine.- OK.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Chris assures me it's Groucho Marx.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Yeah, you never catch Chris out on the Marx Brothers.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Groucho Marx is right.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Second question to our Challengers.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Very tense in here. £17,000 we are playing for.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26In which year was cigarette advertising banned from British television?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- I'm almost certain it's 1965. - Yeah, it wouldn't be '45.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- No, definitely not. - I don't think it was late as '85.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I'm inclined to... It's '65, or '85, certainly.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44But I thought '65 seems a bit early.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Well, "You're never alone with a Strand," and all of those...
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- They were a long time ago. - They were certainly pre-65.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Yeah, late '50s, early '60s.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- I think it's '65, I do. - I think '85's too late.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Right, OK. Yeah.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Yeah. I'm going...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01We think it's 1965, Jeremy.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Yeah, I can see why you were wavering, cos obviously,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06there were cigar adverts on later.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09But you're right. '65 is the right answer.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12OK, Eggheads, to catch up.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16By what name is the American rapper Cornell Haynes Junior better known?
0:22:20 > 0:22:21- Nelly.- Yeah.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Cos it's CORNELL Hayes.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Jay-Z is Shawn Carter.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- And Diddy is...- Sean Combs. - Sean Combs.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So, yeah, we've eliminated the other two, and it's Cornell.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- OK, so it's...- Cornell. - Nelly?- Nelly.- OK.- Definitely.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36We think that's Nelly.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Nelly is correct.
0:22:37 > 0:22:392-2, and this is a great quiz.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Both playing very confidently, both teams.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Third question could be crucial.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Get this one right, and that may be your work done for the day.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49In which country, Challengers,
0:22:49 > 0:22:54was the film director Abbas Kiarostami born?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So, I'll just spell it. Abbas is A-B-B-A-S.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04And then K-I-A-R-O-S-T-A-M-I.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- That's Kiarostami. Have you ever heard...?- Abbas is not a Greek name.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- No, Abbas is...- Not a Greek... - Abbas. It's an Arabic name.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15It's an Arabic name, so it would be...
0:23:15 > 0:23:16I think it's a Muslim name, as well.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19So it would be Turkey or Iran.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Now, this is really clutching at straws, but the letter pattern,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27the sound pattern, sounds more Farsi than Turkish.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Right.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33We're going to go for Iran, Jeremy.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Iran is the right answer.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37You got three out of three. You are playing really well.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41So, you have won £17,000 if the Eggheads get this wrong.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45In the 1989 TV film The Firm,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Gary Oldman's character leads what type of gang?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Football hooligans. - I thought it was football hooligans.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I thought it was football hooligans, but let's just have a think.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Don't believe it's cowboy builders.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Cos there were several gangs that called themselves The Firm.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Yeah. Yeah. Well, I...
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Football hooligans would be...
0:24:11 > 0:24:15I can't see a reason for veering off.
0:24:15 > 0:24:181989, I mean it was the height of the football hooligan...
0:24:18 > 0:24:19- Yeah.- ..thing.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Yeah. I think...
0:24:21 > 0:24:24OK. I've got to go football hooligans.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26We're not certain, but I've got to go for football hooligans.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28We're not certain this, Jeremy.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31But we feel we should go for football hooligans.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Football hooligans is the right answer.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Well played, Chris.
0:24:36 > 0:24:383-3.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39We go to Sudden Death, it gets a bit harder.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I don't give you alternative answers.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Here we are, playing for £17,000. Just keep up the pressure.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You're doing brilliantly, Challengers.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49What is the full name of the international news agency
0:24:49 > 0:24:51known by its initials AP?
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Associated Press. - Associated Press?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- I'm quite happy with Associated Press.- That's what I'm thinking, it's Associated...
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Yeah.- Yeah.- Associated Press.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Associated Press is correct.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Sudden Death. Back to you, Eggheads.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07You get this wrong, it's over.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10In terms of the Declaration of Independence,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14for what does the letter U stand in the abbreviation UDI?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Unilateral Declaration of Independence.- Unilateral.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Yeah.- Like Rhodesia.- Rhodesia.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Unilateral. Unilateral.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24We think that's unilateral.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Unilateral is correct.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Sudden Death, back to you.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30No-one's made a mistake yet.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35By what more common name is the Australian arachnid
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Atrax robustus known?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Is it that small one, the one that's really lethal?
0:25:41 > 0:25:46- Yeah, what are the deadly spiders in Australia?- Yeah.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- I don't know what it's called. - Funnel-web? Is that it?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53No, I don't think it's that. I think it's got a colour in its name.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Red something.- Aye.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58The black widow. There's the black widow spider.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- No, that's not it.- No.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04The...
0:26:04 > 0:26:06The funnel-web is the only one that I know of.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I think you're right, it's not that.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11No. It is a deadly one.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13It gets under the toilet seats.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15That's where it bites.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19What should we go with, then?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20- Funnel-web?- Well that's...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22That's the only deadly Australian spider I know,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- but I think you're right. - It's grasping at webs, here.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29The funnel-web spider.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Funnel-web spider is the correct answer.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Is it?!- After all!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35LAUGHTER
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I tell you what, you are scaring the living daylights
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- out of the Eggheads now. - Well played!- You really are.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Eggheads, we've got a quiz on here, haven't we?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47In the modern Church of England,
0:26:47 > 0:26:52what rank of clergyman is addressed as the Venerable?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Get this wrong, the Challengers have won £17,000.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58The modern Church of England. Well, what we got? We got Dean.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00We've got Canon.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04We've got...Reverend.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Is Bishop like Reverend?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Yeah.- You got people like Sextons and Rectors.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Yeah.- Have they any relevance?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I think we're looking at a Dean here, actually.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16My instinct would be that. But we're in trouble.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- The Venerable Dean sounds... - The Venerable Dean sounds right.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Cos I can't see it being a Canon.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- It's our best guess. - Our best effort. Yeah.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- You think Dean's our best effort? - I think it is, because I can't...
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Unless we've missed an obvious rank in the clergy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I think it is around that area, but...
0:27:37 > 0:27:38- Venerable.- OK. We happy with that?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- Yeah, we got to do that. - Next to a cathedral, aren't we?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- So, yeah.- Yeah, we got to do that.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Yeah.- OK, we're unsure.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46But we're going to go for Dean.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Your answer is Dean.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53If you've got it wrong, you've lost and they've won £17,000.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55They went through a lot of ranks, these Eggheads.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59And they never mentioned the right answer, which was Archdeacon.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02We say congratulations, Challengers, you have won!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Well done, Peter! Well done!
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Really well played!
0:28:07 > 0:28:09You properly out-quizzed them, there.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12And your funnel... I was willing you to say the funnel spider.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13I knew if you didn't say funnel spider,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- you were going to be so cross with yourselves.- Yeah, yeah.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- We would have been.- Well done, Great Grandsons. What a great contest!
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You got the jackpot which, has been building up for quite some time.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23You are officially cleverer than the Eggheads.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's great when really good quizzers win.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27And you've certainly proved that they can be beaten.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28You won fair and square, Challengers.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Really, really pleased for you.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:32 > 0:28:35can do what they did. Doesn't happen often, does it?
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Till then, goodbye!
