0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome 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 > 0:00:32They are The Eggheads!
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And bouncing back at the moment, yeah?
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Yes.- Finally.- Taking on our awesome quiz champions today
0:00:37 > 0:00:40are the Amazing Graces from London.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Now this team are all members of the Graces Cricket Club.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47The only lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender cricket club in the UK.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Jonathan, and I'm an English teacher.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hello, I'm Phil, and I'm head of forestry insurance.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm Sam, I'm a programme director.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Colin, and I'm a bus industry manager.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, I'm Stuart, and I'm an independent financial adviser.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05So, Jonathan and team, hello.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06- ALL:- Hello! - Great to see you!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09It's all around the cricket club, this, Jonathan. Yeah?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12That's right, yes. It's our 21st season, this year.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Started with like-minded colleagues
0:01:15 > 0:01:18who answered an advert many years ago
0:01:18 > 0:01:20who were interested in cricket.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24And then we realised we had enough people to get a team together,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and then we played and the ball kept rolling and rolling.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Fantastic! So you're based in West London,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32but you move around and you play lots of matches elsewhere?
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Yes, all around Greater London.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37We've been on tour to Spain and Malta in the last couple of seasons.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40So, always looking to expand our horizons.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41And I'm assuming cricket is pretty seasonal.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44You need good weather for it, don't you?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Yes, we start in May and finish in September.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Although we've been having some good summers recently, so nothing rained off.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Well, I hope this is part of your good summer here
0:01:53 > 0:01:55and that you take the Eggheads down.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57- ALL:- Thank you, thank you.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Everybody, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:59 > 0:02:00for the challenging team.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02If they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08So, Amazing Graces, the Eggheads have won just the last game.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10They had a bit of a slip and a skid a few games ago.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13and that means there is £2,000 for you to win today.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15So, shall we try?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Oh, yes, yes, yes!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19OK! The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of geography.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21So one of you, please,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25against either Lisa, Steve, Barry, Kevin, or Chris?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- I think it's...- You want to go for it?- Yeah, you should go...
0:02:28 > 0:02:31OK, I'll take this one.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Jonathan? OK. Our English teacher against which Egghead?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Steve, should we go for Steve?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Well, we'd like to choose Steve.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40They sound quite determined, this team of challengers.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Jonathan, from Amazing Graces, takes on Steve, from the Eggheads,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45in the first round. Please, both of you,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47go to our legendary Question Room.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Well, Jonathan, you've obviously travelled a lot.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Yeah, when I get the opportunity, I love to travel, Jeremy.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57And you've been to Hawaii and shark diving?
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Yeah! I think for most people that's on the bucket list of things to do.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I came back with all my fingers and toes,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06so that was a great experience.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- I'd like to do it again. - Did you see a shark?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Yeah, there were about 15 swimming around the cage.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Some of them about three metres long.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Oh, so it was like the film Jaws?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18You actually have to go down in a cage?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Yeah, only on the surface, but they're there.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22And we we're told, don't touch them.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Don't touch them.- OK, well, the same rule for the Eggheads.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26LAUGHTER
0:03:28 > 0:03:30So, geography, Jonathan, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31I'll go first please, Jeremy.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40And good luck. The city of Cardiff is located in which part of Wales?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I've been to Cardiff a couple of times,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and I would say it's definitely in the south.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48South is correct.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Steve, Myanmar is a country in which continent?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- That's Asia, Jeremy.- Also called?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00- Burma.- Burma. You're right.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Asia's correct. Jonathan,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06what is the approximate population of South Korea?
0:04:09 > 0:04:15Well, I actually have Korean students at my language school,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18so I think they will be pressurising me here.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I know it's smaller than the UK.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25But I think more than 11.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I think, Jeremy, I will go...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31..for 51 million.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I'm so glad you did, you're right!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Well done! All right, Steve.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Which of these countries lies on the Red Sea?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42I think that Eritrea, Jeremy.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44It is indeed Eritrea.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46On the right-hand side of Africa
0:04:46 > 0:04:49when you look at the map, you're right.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52OK, level. And, Jonathan, the third question could be crucial.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56What are the pamperos of South America?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58The pamperos.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04And it's P-A-M-P-E-R-O-S.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Right. My Spanish is very limited.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I know they've got glaciers in Argentina.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I think I'm going to go for winds, Jeremy.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16What do we think, team-mates?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17- We like that.- He's right.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18They like it a lot! Winds is correct!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Three out of three, Jonathan. Well done!
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Well done! OK, Steve.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26To stay in, what is the highest point in the Chilterns?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33There's only one I've heard of.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Well, that's dangerous.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm going to have to go to with the one I've heard of.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39It could very possibly be somewhere else.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42But I'll say Cleeve Hill.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Anyone help us where Cleeve Hill is, Eggheads?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I thought it was that.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49So Kevin thought it was that?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Butser Hill's in Hampshire.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Cleve Hill is actually the highest point of the Cotswolds!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Butser Hill, South Downs.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Haddington Hill was the answer, Steve.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01You've been knocked out. Well done, Jonathan.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02There we are, guys!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You made it look easy!
0:06:04 > 0:06:073-2 in the first round, Jonathan is in the final!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Please return to us, we'll play on. - Wow!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Great start for our challengers, wasn't it?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Amazing Graces have not lost any brains from the final,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17the Eggheads have lost a brain.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And the next subject for you, Challengers, is music.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Who wants this?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Colin, Colin should do it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- OK.- I can't, I can't do music.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Phil, what about you doing music?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Yeah, you can do music. - It could be anything?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31It could, but go for it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Go on.- Phil, you're our fall guy.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36- Yes.- I...
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Oh!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Great! I'm the fall guy!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41OK, Phil. Well done.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44If I was to choose a subject, this wouldn't be it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Let us, let us have a go.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48OK, against which Egghead?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Anyone but Steve.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- What do you think, guys?- I've never seen Chris do music on the show.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK. Should we go for Chris?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59OK, yeah, we've chosen Chris.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Right, well you might be in luck there.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Cos you have your moments on music, Chris, don't you?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I do? Depends on what you mean by music, of course.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Exactly. So Phil from Amazing Graces,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09versus Chris from The Eggheads.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13To ensure there is no conferring, please go to the Question Room.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18All right, so music, Phil, would you like to go first or second?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I will go first please, Jeremy.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Good luck, Phil. Here we go against Chris.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Traditionally, musicians from which part of the world are most likely to
0:07:29 > 0:07:31use maracas?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Well, I was wondering maracas sounded like a country to me,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42but I think certainly not East Asia.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47And, not North Africa as I've been there a few times.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49So I'll go for Latin America.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Latin America's right.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Chris, your go now.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58"Hell is gone and Heaven's here, there's nothing left for you to fear,"
0:07:58 > 0:08:02are the opening lyrics to which Robbie Williams song?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Ah, a local lad from Stoke, that's Let Me Entertain You.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Let Me Entertain You's quite right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Phil, over to you.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Who wrote the 1832 play, Le roi s'amuse,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21upon which Verdi's opera, Rigoletto, is based?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I think it is...
0:08:30 > 0:08:32..Jean-Paul Sartre.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Let's check with the Eggheads, is he right?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35No, I think it's Victor Hugo.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Victor Hugo is the right answer.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Le roi s'amuse, The King Amuses Himself.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42OK, Chris has a chance to take the lead now.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44The Ukrainian-born musician, Isaac Stern,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47was best known for his skill with which instrument?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Chris...
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Ah... Well, it's not flute.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Isaac Stern...
0:08:58 > 0:08:59..was a violinist. So violin.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03How did you do that by just staring at me really intensely?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Going in my mind through the sleeve notes
0:09:06 > 0:09:09of my collection of classical records.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Find the names, seeing what he did.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well, amazing brain you've got!
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Violin is the right answer.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18So he's ahead, Phil.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23This is tricky. Get this one right, and you are still alive.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Which singer featured on the UK top ten singles,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Never Forget You and the Lush Life?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Jeremy, this is, this is a bit of a challenge.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41But, I think I'm going to go for Zara Larsson.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43OK, Phil. Your answer is Zara Larsson.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46If you've got it right, you're still in it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Zara Larsson is the right answer.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50OK, Chris.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54The keyboardist Jeff Nichols, who died in 2017,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56was a long-time member of which of these bands?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58If you get this right, you're in the final, Chris.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Oh, keyboard.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Heavy metal, not my thing.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Unless we're talking engineering.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Yeah, I have to go AC/DC.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It's not AC/DC or Led Zeppelin.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15It's Black Sabbath.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17So, after three questions each, the scores are level.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19We go to Sudden Death.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Phil, it gets a little bit harder.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22I don't give you different options, OK?
0:10:22 > 0:10:28Here we go. Sonatas and Interludes is a collection of piano pieces
0:10:28 > 0:10:32composed in the 1940s by which American avant-garde composer?
0:10:34 > 0:10:371940s composer.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I think perhaps Leonard Bernstein?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45No, John Cage.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Chris, for the round.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Maxine Chrisman, also known as Lefty Lou,
0:10:52 > 0:10:59was an early radio partner of which US folk singer born in 1912?
0:10:59 > 0:11:00That would've been Woody Guthrie.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Woody Guthrie is the right answer.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Chris, you've taken the round on music.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Phil, sorry beaten by our Egghead there, please return to us,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08and we will see what round three holds.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13As it stands, Amazing Graces have lost one brain from the final round,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15the Eggheads have lost one, too.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17So, we're perfectly level going into round three.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19And it's film and TV.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Who would like this?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Colin.- It's definitely you. - I'll go for it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- We'll go Colin.- Colin.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Colin. A bus industry manager, against which Egghead?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It can't be Chris or Steve, so...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Barry is always going to be difficult.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37We're going to go for Barry.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Yeah, difficult is one way of describing Barry, for sure.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42The only way.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Colin from Amazing Graces takes on Barry from the Eggheads,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47please, gentlemen, take your positions.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Film and TV, then, against Barry.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Colin, would you like to go first or second?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Think I'd like to go first please, Jeremy.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Good luck. At the 2017 Oscars ceremony,
0:12:01 > 0:12:04who incorrectly announced La La Land
0:12:04 > 0:12:07as the winner of the Best Picture award?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Ah, I remember there was a lot of fuss about this in the newspapers.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17There were two presenters,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21but I don't remember Diane Keaton being involved.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22And I'm not so sure...
0:12:23 > 0:12:26..about Jane. Can I go for Faye Dunaway, please?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Faye Dunaway is correct, yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Well done, Colin. Barry,
0:12:31 > 0:12:35which of these Tom Hanks films was released first?
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Oh, goodness me. Oh!
0:12:42 > 0:12:43That's another one where I'm all at sea.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I'm not sure on this at all.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47I'm going to go for Big.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Big is right.- Oh!
0:12:50 > 0:12:53He looks vulnerable here, Colin.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- I think you can take him. - We have just got to try.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01The TV medical drama ER was set in a fictional hospital in which US city?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh, my first choice isn't even on the list.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08So, that's interesting.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I don't somehow think it was San Francisco.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15And somehow New York doesn't want to jump in, so,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I think I'm going to go for Chicago.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20What was your first choice?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22My first choice, for some reason, I was thinking Baltimore.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24But I must be confusing TV shows.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Yeah, that's The Wire, isn't it?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Ah, The Wire.- Chicago is the right answer, well done.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I'm just pleased Baltimore wasn't up there.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Cos it would've... - It would've thrown me.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35It would've thrown you. Well done, two out of two, Colin.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Playing well. Barry,
0:13:36 > 0:13:40what is the profession of Will Smith's character in the 1998 action film
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Enemy of the State?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Oh, I've not seen this one,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48so, again, I'm struggling.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Enemy of the State.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I don't know, but I'm going to discount soldier.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Perhaps it seems a bit obvious, but I don't think that.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59You could argue a case for both a lawyer and a reporter
0:13:59 > 0:14:03being classed as an enemy of the state.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05But I'm going to say reporter.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Eggheads?- I think he's a lawyer.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Lawyer is the answer.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Again, wrong choice!
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Come on.- Now,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15rather interestingly poised, you can take the lead as a team.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18And, Colin, you can go into the final with just this question.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The actress and singer Dale Evans
0:14:21 > 0:14:24was married to which of these actors?
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Dale Evans.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Well, that's a difficult one,
0:14:29 > 0:14:34because I must admit I've got no idea who Dale Evans is.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38For some reason I just have an inkling that it could be Roy Rogers.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Because for some reason I think John Wayne and Clint Eastwood had higher
0:14:43 > 0:14:48profile named wives, where as Dale to me is nothing I can register.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51So, I'm going to take Roy Rogers.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Roy Rogers is the right answer.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Well done. All right, we say well done, Colin.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57You took on an Egghead, you emerged triumphant.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Barry has been in a bit of a sticky phase recently, haven't you?
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Yes, but it will end soon.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03It will end soon, he's always positive.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Come back to us. One more round to play before the final.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12So, as it stands, Amazing Graces have lost one brain from the final round,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15whilst the Eggheads have lost two. This is actually looking good.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Jonathan, you are skippering it well here.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Yeah, I'm really pleased with the team.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21We're flying the flag, flying the flag, Jeremy.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23OK, the next subject for you is history.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25So, this subject then the final.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Who wants history?- Oh.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- One too soon. - OK, it's going to be me.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- I think... - It's not my strong point.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Um, yeah, Stuart is going to take this one on.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39OK, Stuart, our independent financial adviser.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42And you've got Lisa or Kevin left.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43- Not easy.- I'll take on Lisa.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I think we're thinking... Have Lisa, please.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Stuart from Amazing Graces versus the amazing Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52To ensure there's no conferring, please, for the last time,
0:15:52 > 0:15:53go to our Question Room.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57So as well as the cricket, Stuart, you play squash as well.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Oh, I'm an avid squash player.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I love it, actually. Yeah, I play quite a lot.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Cos they say... I know you're not 40 yet,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04but if you get to 40 and you're playing squash,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06you've got to play twice a week or never.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Well, at the moment, I'm playing twice a week,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10and I'm only a couple of weeks away from being 40,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12so I've got to keep it going, I guess.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It's an explosive sport, isn't it?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17It is, it can be pretty rough on the knees, but it keeps you vaguely fit,
0:16:17 > 0:16:18so that's the advantage.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21And you went to the first LGBT squash tournament in Cape Town?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22The inauguration.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It was a great event in Cape Town, just a couple years ago,
0:16:25 > 0:16:26and it's absolutely brilliant.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I loved it, and I hope we do it again soon.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31You're against Lisa on history, and if you get into the final,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34you really will have discombobulated the Eggheads completely.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- I hope so. - So good luck here, Stuart,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38would you like to go first or second?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41We've all gone first so far and we seem to be in a relatively strong
0:16:41 > 0:16:43position, so I'm going to stick with that and...
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Give me the first question.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50And here is your first question, good luck.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Which English king summoned the so-called short Parliament of 1640,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58the first Parliament to be summoned for 11 years?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Oh, dear me.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It might just be a little stab here, let's see if I can...
0:17:09 > 0:17:10..find the right one.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16So 1640, let's go down to the right, I'm going to go Richard I.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19It's not Richard I, let's ask Lisa this.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Lisa?- Yeah, it's Charles I.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23He's the only one who worked on the dates.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Charles I is the answer, Stuart.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- Of course.- Lisa.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30The Battle of Arnhem was a major battle
0:17:30 > 0:17:32in which 20th-century conflict?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39OK, I think we can say fairly safely shelve the Korean War
0:17:39 > 0:17:41and then it's a straight fight between the other two.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Honestly, I can never keep these straight in my head.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Quick think.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I can't remember. I can't remember. World War II.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Let's go to, Chris.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Chris? This is the bridge too far, isn't it?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It's the bridge too far, yeah.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Airborne assault basically to capture the bridges over the Rhine.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01They went for the bridges at Arnhem not knowing that in the immediate
0:18:01 > 0:18:04vicinity, there were two SS Panzer divisions refitting.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I wouldn't say it was a turning point in the war,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08but it was a bold attempt to seize the bridges over the Rhine.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11OK, World War II is the right answer, then.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Your second question now, Stuart.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18The 1960 Sharpeville massacre in which 69 demonstrators were killed
0:18:18 > 0:18:21by police took place in which country?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Sharpeville doesn't sound particularly Irish to me.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30A massacre in the US, I'm not entirely sure.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I'm going to stick with right again,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I'm going to go South Africa on this one, Jeremy.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Indeed, South Africa is right.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38OK, Lisa, your question.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Where was the explorer James Cook born in 1728?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I even remember seeing the monument and I thought,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49"I must make a special note of this because it will remind me
0:18:49 > 0:18:51"where James Cook was born."
0:18:51 > 0:18:54And now, for the life of me, I can't even remember where it was. So...
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Yorkshire is niggling me.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'll go for Yorkshire.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well, you've got a fellow Yorkshire person at the desk,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Barry, are you...? - I'm very happy with that answer.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08It's OK, you're fine, he was on the edge there for a moment.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Yorkshire is the right answer, well done.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12All right, Stuart, your question.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- You need to get this one right.- Yup.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15What was the value of a groat,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19an English coin taken out of circulation in the 17th century?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20A groat.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I haven't even a point of reference.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26There was a six penny piece,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30was that a nickname called a groat, maybe?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Um, I haven't really heard of a coin for a four pence,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35so I'm going to stay away from that one.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Groat implies it's something smaller than two,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40however maybe a six pence might...
0:19:42 > 0:19:44..be the coin. I think I'm going to go with...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46ooh...
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Groat implies is very small, but I really want to go the six pence.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51So I'm going to go the six pence, actually.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53OK. The answer is four pence.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Oh, dear, both wrong!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Sorry, Stuart, knocked out by Lisa, who will be in the final.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Please return to us, we'll play that final round for £2,000.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05So this is what we've been playing towards -
0:20:05 > 0:20:06it is time for our final round,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08which, as always, is general knowledge,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11but I'm afraid those of you who've lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:20:11 > 0:20:13allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16So, that's Phil and Stuart from Amazing Graces,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18and also Steve and Barry from the Eggheads,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24So here we are, Jonathan, Sam and Colin,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27you are now playing to win Amazing Graces £2,000.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Lisa, Kevin and Chris, you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:20:31 > 0:20:33the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37this time they're all general knowledge.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39And you are allowed to confer.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41So, Challengers, the question is
0:20:41 > 0:20:44can your three brains defeat these three Eggs over here?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46And would you like to go first or second?
0:20:46 > 0:20:47We'll go first, Jeremy.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55OK, Sam, Jonathan, Colin, good luck.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56And here we go with your first question.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02Which woman married the multimillionaire hedge fund manager James Matthews
0:21:02 > 0:21:03in June 2017?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- I think it's...- Yeah, it was quite a big society wedding.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Definitely not Geri Halliwell.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Yeah.- No, this was very recent, it can't be those other names.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21- It was Pippa Middleton, isn't it? - It was a big society wedding.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23We're going to go with Pippa Middleton, Jeremy.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Pippa Middleton is the right answer.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Well done, first point to you.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Eggheads, the adventurer and author Sir Ranulph Fiennes
0:21:30 > 0:21:33was once a member of which of these military outfits?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41..regiments, would be SAS, wouldn't it?
0:21:42 > 0:21:43That's a sort of a logic...
0:21:43 > 0:21:45It would fit with his talents, wouldn't it?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Yeah. It would, wouldn't it?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Yeah.- Or is that what we're meant to think. I'd say, yeah.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52OK.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I would have gone with the SAS left to my own devices.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Yeah. OK. That's fair enough.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02We'll try, we're not certain, Jeremy, but we'll try the SAS.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03It's the correct answer.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Well done, you didn't overthink it.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Second question to our challengers.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Charlotte Bronte wrote under which pen name?
0:22:14 > 0:22:15OK, I saw that...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I saw that dramatisation. And it was Currer Bell.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21So I'm pretty sure it's Currer Bell.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- You sure? Sure?- I think we should go with Currer Bell.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25We're going to go with Currer Bell, Jeremy.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Currer Bell is right.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Back to you, Eggheads.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Which Premier League football team did the PFA Player of the Year N'Golo Kante
0:22:34 > 0:22:37represent during the 2016/17 season?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42It's Chelsea.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44He moved from somewhere, didn't he?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Well, he moved from Leicester.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48That's why I've got Leicester in my head.
0:22:51 > 0:22:57During the Leicester City's amazing season of 2015-16,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59he was a member of that team, but then he moved on,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01he was bought by Chelsea. So Chelsea.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Chelsea is the right answer.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07OK, third question to you.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08You're playing well, Challengers.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13What does the S stand for in the computing abbreviation USB?
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- Serial, serial, serial. - I'm not sure.- Serial, serial.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Serial, serial. - What would the B stand for?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- I think serial. - Universal serial board?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Or something? - Yeah, I think it's serial.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31I'll go with your choice.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34OK, we'll go with serial, Jeremy.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Serial is your answer.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Do you know it stands for, Eggs?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Universal serial bus.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Yeah. Universal serial bus.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Well done, well done. - Serial's the right answer.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Three out of three, is it enough?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48If they get this wrong, you've won.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49£2,000, we're playing for.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Here's your question, Eggheads.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53To the nearest million,
0:23:53 > 0:23:58how many votes the Donald Trump receive in the 2016 presidential election?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06And obviously Hillary got a bit.
0:24:06 > 0:24:073 million more, didn't she?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12But if he got, let's say he got 93, and she got 96.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14That brings you up to a little bit under 200 million.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16A bit under 200 million.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Which is about two thirds of the entire population voting.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25If he got 63 and she got 66, then you've got about 130.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30That's less and half the entire... Was the turnout that...
0:24:30 > 0:24:31..that low?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Well, as you say, basically, it depends what proportion
0:24:34 > 0:24:37of your voting population is part of your total population
0:24:37 > 0:24:38to start off with, isn't it?
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- So if you assume that of that 300 million
0:24:42 > 0:24:46there is maybe 50, 50-100 million that are kids, or...
0:24:48 > 0:24:50...naturalised citizens or whoever who can't vote.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Yeah. We are inclining towards the lowest one here?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55That would be my reasoning.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Yeah.- On that mathematical basis, but it's pretty...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- ..it's pretty tenuous. - It's tenuous, yes, it's always...
0:25:02 > 0:25:0466 sounds about right.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I mean, it's roughly about 130 all told.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- OK?- Yep.- 63.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12- And be damned.- OK.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17- Yeah.- We're going to go for the lowest one, Jeremy, 63.
0:25:18 > 0:25:2063 million is the right answer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Well done, Kevin. - He got there very methodically,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26so scores level after three questions, we go to Sudden Death.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternative answers.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33So, Amazing Graces, here is your first Sudden Death question.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37In 2017, the 62-year-old Lubiana Himid
0:25:37 > 0:25:43became the oldest person nominated for which £25,000 prize?
0:25:44 > 0:25:45- £25,000.- A 25,000 prize,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48it would be something significant but it's not...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51..it's not an earth-shattering...
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Could it be in literature? Literature, perhaps?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Then again, age doesn't... Age isn't really a factor.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- It sounds like somebody from an Asian background.- Yeah.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Would it be something to do with peace-making or something courageous?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07For £25,000.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10It could be the books, or it could be the peace prize or something.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- Could be...- I think I'd like to go with the Man Booker prize, but I'll leave it to you.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Um, what about the Nobel...?
0:26:15 > 0:26:20- Nobel, yeah?- Yeah, I'm really struggling here.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21And what about the movies or something?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- You need to know which category... - But that's not financial, is it?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It's going to be... So, Nobel Peace Prize?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Do you get nominated?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Yeah, you get nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I'm not so sure, it's a panel.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- So Booker's? - I think the Man Booker Prize.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Yeah?- OK. I really have...
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- We are going to go with the Man Booker Prize.- The Man Booker Prize.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47OK. So for this prize, the age limit of 50 was scrapped in 2017,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49that's why this is interesting. Do you know it?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- I think it's the Turner. - Turner Prize.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Oh, the arts.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56The art prize. I was listening carefully for it to see whether it just
0:26:56 > 0:26:58would pop up in your discussion, but it didn't quite...
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I suppose Man Booker is heading that way, isn't it?
0:27:01 > 0:27:02No, it stumped us, Jeremy.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Stumped us.- Isn't it surprising that with something like art there would be age restrictions?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Yes, it is, and I see how you got into a corner on it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11OK, you're not out yet.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13But if the Eggheads get this right, the contest is over.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16On a standard QWERTY keyboard, there are three rows of letters,
0:27:16 > 0:27:22how many letters are there on the bottom of these three rows?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Z, X, C, V, B, N, M.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27That looks like a seven to me.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- I think that's right.- OK.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33We think that's seven, Jeremy. Seven letters on the bottom row.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Seven is your answer, and Lisa named Z, X, C, V, B, N, M.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41That is the correct sequence and the number is seven.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46APPLAUSE
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Commiserations, Amazing Graces.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52That last surprise one...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Although, I suppose the Eggheads knew that, so that's,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56that makes it easier to bear.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58But that was a tough old one without the information.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them,
0:28:01 > 0:28:02they still reign supreme over Quizland,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05you're building up a little bit of steam again, Eggs.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07It does mean our challengers don't go home with the £2,000,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10so we roll the money over to the next show.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers have the brains
0:28:15 > 0:28:18to give us as good a game as we've had today.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20£3,000 says they can't win.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Till then, goodbye.
