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.
0:00:17 > 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 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Challenging the might of our quiz Goliaths today
0:00:35 > 0:00:38are the Suspicious Looking Sausages from Cambridgeshire.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Now, this team met through their children attending the same school,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43and they've cemented their friendship
0:00:43 > 0:00:47through participating in many of the school's fundraising quizzes.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Let's meet them.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Ed, I'm a scientific consultant.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Rosie, and I'm a tourist guide.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hello, I'm Eddie, and I'm a science entrepreneur.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Dave, I'm a wedding venue owner.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Chris, and I'm a sales director.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04So, Ed and team, hello.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- Hello!- Great to see you, welcome.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07And Ed, just tell me,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10the name Suspicious Looking Sausages I'm just puzzling over.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Yes... Well, yes!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14You might well be puzzled about that one.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15This came from Dave originally,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17many years ago,
0:01:17 > 0:01:18and it's actually from Blackadder.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Oh!- And it's from a scene of Blackadder.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And I think probably, it's best just to leave it at that!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25OK, so did we recognise that, Eggs?
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Did any... No?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27- Lisa, you were nodding?- It chimed,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I couldn't remember where from until he said Blackadder.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33All right. And your connection, then, is kind of a school thing,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35and a quiz thing, and all of that, Ed, is it?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Yes. Many years ago, and our children are grown up, now,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40from primary school.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42But we have quizzed over the years,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44and we've won quite a few,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48quite annoyed the schools initially, we kept winning for a while,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50so they didn't like us coming back.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52But that was a while ago, and I thought,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55it's time for the Sausages to come and have a crack at something really
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- challenging.- It definitely is time
0:01:57 > 0:02:00for the Suspicious Sausages to have a go at this lot.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02By the way, you've been travelling, Ed.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And you went to Solomon Islands, and Fiji, and Vanuatu,
0:02:05 > 0:02:06and you saw Eggheads on TV,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- is that right?- In Papua, New Guinea.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10In Rabaul, on the television.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12And we were absolutely delighted!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Well, what can we say?
0:02:14 > 0:02:15That's a good spot, isn't it?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Yeah.- How wonderful.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Good luck, Challengers.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Every day there is £1,000 worth of
0:02:20 > 0:02:22cash up for grabs for the challenging team.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28So, Suspicious Looking Sausages,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31the Eggheads have won the last two games
0:02:31 > 0:02:34which means £3,000 is on the table for you to win.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Would you like to try? ALL:- Yes!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Good! The first head-to-head battle is on Sport.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40It's one of you therefore
0:02:40 > 0:02:42against Lisa, Steve, Chris,
0:02:42 > 0:02:43- Kevin, or Judith.- Chris?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- That's me then, I think.- OK.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47All right, straight to it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Chris, our sales director.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- And which Egghead? - What do you recommend?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I'm going to regret saying Judith, I think.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- Yes, you are!- But I'm going to say Judith.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59She is going to be so cross with you!
0:02:59 > 0:03:04So Chris, from the Suspicious Looking Sausages, versus Judith,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07who is not a suspicious Egghead at all.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10And to ensure there's no conferring, please, for the first time,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12go to our legendary Question Room.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15So here we go. On Sport.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Chris, would you like to go first or second against Judith?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I will go first, please.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24And here is your first question.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Chris, in which sport are coloured balls hit through hoops on a grass
0:03:28 > 0:03:30playing court?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Um, not polo.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39And I don't think quoits, so I will go for croquet.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Croquet is the correct answer, well done.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Judith,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47what is the maximum length of a full-size rugby union ball?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Sort of like that, what's that?
0:03:56 > 0:03:5760...
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I have to do equivalent of inches.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02What's that? It's about a foot?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I've forgotten what the equivalent is!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13150 is six inches.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I think a rugby ball is about like that,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18so I think it's 300mm.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Hold your hands up. I can't see your hands.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22What are you showing us?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24A foot, roughly.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26OK. It is right.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Oh, my goodness! - It seems like a detail...
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I suddenly got into a muddle...
0:04:30 > 0:04:31You were enjoying that so much!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33But I think you're right. I'm a bit like you with the feet and inches.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36So a metre is three feet.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40So 300mm is about a foot, isn't it?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Yes.- It's not going to be two foot long.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46150 is six inches, so 300 is about a foot.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I mean, 600 would be sort of like that.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51It would be like one of those scenes out of Naked Gun or something.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Yeah.- OK.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Chris, your question.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58What is the name of the number one-ranked golfer
0:04:58 > 0:05:02who withdrew from the 2017 US Masters
0:05:02 > 0:05:04after slipping on some wooden stairs
0:05:04 > 0:05:06on the eve of the tournament?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I think I can discount Ian Poulter,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16so it's between the two, Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19And I think it's Dustin Johnson.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Dustin Johnson is the right answer, well done.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Two out of two.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25So Judith, you're behind.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Here's your question. Which team
0:05:27 > 0:05:30did Valterri Bottas join
0:05:30 > 0:05:32for the 2017 Formula 1 season?
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Oh, bother!
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I've forgotten to look up these.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Well, let's think.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I think it's Ferrari.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Eggheads, is she right?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- No, it's Mercedes.- It's Mercedes!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Oh!- Were you going to look them up at lunchtime?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55- Yes, I was.- And what happened?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57And...I didn't.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59LAUGHTER
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Oh, dear. All right, Chris,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05if you get this one right, you will have knocked Judith out.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Which of these British athletes has been nicknamed the Suffolk Slinger?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I presume, as it's a slinger,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20it's javelin or something along those lines?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And the only one of those I recognise,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26who I think it's javelin is Goldie Sayers.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So I'm going to go for Goldie Sayers.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well, that's impressive. You're absolutely right.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Goldie Sayers is the right answer.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Three out of three. These are good quizzers!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I can sense it. Sorry, Judith!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Off you go to look up the Formula 1 winners!- Too late.- Oh, dear!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42So, there we are. You took on an Egghead.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Chris, you emerged triumphant.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You will be in the final. Please return to us, both of you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50So as it stands, Suspicious Looking Sausages
0:06:50 > 0:06:53have not lost any brains from the final round.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56And to our surprise, Judith has been knocked out on Sport.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58The next subject is Film & Television.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Now, which one of you would like this? Film and TV.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Dave?- Yeah, OK.- OK, Dave,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07wedding venue owner, against which Egghead?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Anyone but Judith.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- What do you think? Chris? - Let's go for Chris.- Chris.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12- We'll go for Chris!- Good stuff!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15So, Dave, from Suspicious Looking Sausages,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18versus our own suspicious looking sausage, Chris.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20To ensure...
0:07:20 > 0:07:21To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23please take your positions.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26OK, so Film and TV.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Dave, would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Here we go with your first question.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Who first presented the television game show called The Cube,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40in 2009?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Not sure about this one.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46I don't think it was Fern Britton.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I don't think it was Schofield.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49I'm going to go for Dermot O'Leary.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53They all could've done it, but it was Phillip Schofield.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Sorry, Dave. Chris, over to you.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57What colour
0:07:57 > 0:08:00were the famously striking eyes of Paul Newman?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04They are blue, Jeremy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Blue is correct.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Dave, which member
0:08:08 > 0:08:11of the EastEnders cast also appeared on The Bill
0:08:11 > 0:08:13as Sergeant Nikki Wright?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I don't think it was Gillian Taylforth,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22because we hosted her 60th,
0:08:22 > 0:08:23and she never mentioned it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26So, must rule her out.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I don't think it was Natalie Cassidy.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I will go for Samantha Womack.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I can't believe Gillian Taylforth didn't mention it
0:08:32 > 0:08:34because it was her!
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Sorry, Dave!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37So Chris can take the round.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40In the 2017 film Mindhorn,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42the title character is a has-been
0:08:42 > 0:08:45actor once famous for playing which type of role?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Don't know the film, but,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54has-been actor, probably spent most
0:08:54 > 0:08:56of his life playing detectives, so I'll say detective.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Detective is the right answer, Chris.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Well done. Two-nil.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03So Chris is in the final. Sorry, Dave.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04You've been knocked out.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Come back to us, and we'll see what Round Three holds.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13So as it stands, Suspicious Looking Sausages have lost a brain now from
0:09:13 > 0:09:15the final. The Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17We play on with Science.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Who would like Science?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Who else is it going to be? Me, or you?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I think you probably have a better broad science knowledge than I have.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26OK, well that's me, then.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Because we've got two scientists on this team.- Two scientists! That's right.- Yes! Interesting. OK.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32So, against which Egghead?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34And you can have Lisa, Steve or Kevin.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- I think I'll try Lisa.- Good stuff.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Ed from Suspicious Looking Sausages,
0:09:38 > 0:09:43the captain Suspicious Sausage, versus Lisa from the Eggheads.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I'll never get used to this team name!
0:09:45 > 0:09:46It is the best team name ever.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53So, Ed, you're a scientific consultant?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Yes, that's right.- Meaning you consult on science?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, I do training courses
0:09:58 > 0:10:01and write technical books about stuff that I used to do
0:10:01 > 0:10:04over the years in universities and industry
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- as a biological scientist. - Brilliant.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09OK. Would you like to go first or second?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10First, please.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15And here we go.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20Ed, which of these creatures has the rose-like markings on its body
0:10:20 > 0:10:22known as rosettes?
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Right. Natural history things are not perfect for me,
0:10:29 > 0:10:34but I don't think rhino or zebra, I would guess on leopard.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Leopard is quite right, well done.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Lisa, what is the cube root of 8,000?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Cube root.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Yeah. I'll be with you.
0:10:46 > 0:10:498,000. So ten cubed is 1,000.
0:10:49 > 0:10:5415 cubed isn't going to end in a zero, is it?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I think it must be 20.
0:10:57 > 0:10:5820 is correct.
0:10:58 > 0:11:0020 times 20 is 400.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Times 20 is 8,000.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Ed, what name
0:11:04 > 0:11:06was given to the top-secret design department of
0:11:06 > 0:11:08the Lockheed company that produced
0:11:08 > 0:11:11aircraft such as the U-2 spy plane
0:11:11 > 0:11:14and the SR-71 Blackbird?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Yes, nice selection there, it's the skunk works.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Quite right. Well done indeed.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27So is that covered by your scientific knowledge?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Well, not particularly, no!
0:11:29 > 0:11:30- General Knowledge.- Very good.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Skunkworks. OK, Lisa,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35the unmanned reusable vehicle
0:11:35 > 0:11:38called the X-37B
0:11:38 > 0:11:40that returned to Earth in May 2017
0:11:40 > 0:11:45after two years in orbit belongs to which country?
0:11:47 > 0:11:53OK, when you say in orbit, I'm going to have to assume that means orbit
0:11:53 > 0:11:54around the Earth.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I'm going to discount Russia,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and on the basis that the USA tends
0:11:59 > 0:12:03to send its unmanned vehicles a little further afield
0:12:03 > 0:12:06because it's got a more developed space programme,
0:12:06 > 0:12:10I'm wondering if this is all part of developing China's space programme.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's a potentially faulty logic, but I'll say China.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Do you know this one, Ed? - It might be USA.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17- It is USA.- That's too bad.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21So a little bit of daylight here for our Challengers.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Ed, your question. Get this right, you're in the final.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Which species of goose has the scientific name Anser anser?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Oh, dear.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Um, well, Anser's goose, for sure,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39but a prototypical one, I suppose.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I'm just going to have to guess Canada goose.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I'm afraid you're wrong. Greylag is the answer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50So, Lisa, you've got a chance to come back into it.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55The infectious agents called prions that cause BSE and scrapie
0:12:55 > 0:12:58in livestock are made up of which of these?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02BSE is a brain thing, isn't it?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I don't know so much about scrapie.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I mean, I think really the one that
0:13:08 > 0:13:11sort of makes sense there is probably proteins.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Um...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18This is perfect for my opponent, the biological scientist,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and of course a complete waste for someone like me.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23I shall say protein.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- Is she right, Ed?- Yeah, I was willing her away from that, yes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Protein is the right answer.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Well done. All right, three questions each you've had,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34the scores are level. We go to Sudden Death.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38It gets a bit harder cos I don't give you alternative options.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39So, Ed, we start with you.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Which organisation, founded in London
0:13:41 > 0:13:44in 1799, is dedicated to connecting
0:13:44 > 0:13:48people with the world of science and is known by the initials RI?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Yes, the Royal Institution.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53That's correct, or Royal Institution of Great Britain.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Lisa, your question. Sudden Death.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59The term V12 refers to the number
0:13:59 > 0:14:02and arrangement of what in a car engine?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Is it valves?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'll just go through other possible options
0:14:09 > 0:14:11before I say valves.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Oh, dear.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16No, I think I shall have to say valves.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Well, Chris is shaking his head.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Cylinders.- Cylinders.
0:14:21 > 0:14:2412 cylinders, six each side in a V-shape,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26driving on a common crankshaft.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Could you call them pistons as well, Chris?- Well, there's a piston
0:14:28 > 0:14:30in every cylinder, yes.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Cylinders, or I could have accepted pistons.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Ed, well done, you're in the final round.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37This is good for our Challengers.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41So, can the Eggheads come back into this?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Please rejoin your teams.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44We'll play one more round before the final.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47As it stands, Suspicious Looking Sausages
0:14:47 > 0:14:49have lost one brain from the final round,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51but the Eggheads have lost two.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52What's happening, Eggs?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55The next subject for you is Politics.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Who would like this?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Oh, dear.- We were discussing this.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I think this is going to be Eddie, isn't it?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Are you happy to do that?- Will I do it?- Yeah.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Why not?- OK, Eddie, against which Egghead?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09And you've got left Steve and Kevin.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Who do we think? Steve?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Steve?- Go for Steve.- Steve, please.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Good. Eddie from the Suspicious Looking Sausages
0:15:17 > 0:15:19takes on Steve from the Eggheads on Politics.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Just this round before the final.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Please take your positions.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26So, good luck, Eddie. On Politics.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28First or second against Steve?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29First, please.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34And here is your first question.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Since just after the Second World War,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Italy has had which form of Government?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I don't know that there's a king of Italy.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49There was a dictator who suffered
0:15:49 > 0:15:51badly at the end of the war,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54so I'm going to guess it's an Italian republic.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Republic is the right answer.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Well done. Steve, your question. Steve,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01the headquarters of the United Nations is located in which city?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I'm just going to take a minute,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07cos I'm distrusting everything I say at the minute.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09New York, Jeremy.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12That was a very quick minute. New York is right.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13OK.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Your question, Eddie.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19In 2013, which country held only its second national election,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23resulting in a victory for the party led by Tshering Tobgay?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26T-S-H-E-R-I-N-G,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29and then T-O-B-G-A-Y.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31So Tshering Tobgay.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I doubt it was Luxembourg.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42It doesn't strike me as a Madagascaran name.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45So I'm going to go for Bhutan.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Let's see, Challengers, is he right?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48- I think so.- Yes, you're right.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Bhutan is right.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Wow.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54OK, Steve, your question to catch up.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57In 2017, who was controversially appointed
0:16:57 > 0:16:59to the Supreme Court of the United States?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Yeah, that Donald's pick, it's Neil Gorsuch.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Neil Gorsuch is correct.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12So 2-2. Eddie, back to you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Your third question. A 1977 Gallup poll found that which trade unionist
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and leader of the TGWU
0:17:20 > 0:17:24was considered the most powerful person in Britain
0:17:24 > 0:17:26by 54% of people?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Wow.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I thought I had the answer until you gave me the choices there, so...
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Norman Willis and Jack Jones.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Not quite sure.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I'm going to go for Vic Feather.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46No, it's not, it's Jack Jones.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I should have known that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50OK, Steve, your question.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51You can take the round with this.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53According to an index by Transparency International,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55which of these was perceived to be
0:17:55 > 0:18:00one of the two least corrupt countries in the world in 2016?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Least corrupt.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I think I'll rule United States out.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Least corrupt.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14You don't hear people saying bad things about the Danes, so...
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I'll try Denmark.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Denmark is the right answer, Steve.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Well done, you've taken the round. Sorry, Eddie.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It can be that quick against these Eggheads.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Steve is in the final.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It has levelled it up in a really interesting way.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Return to your teams. We'll play that final round for £3,000.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32So this is what we have been playing towards,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35it's time for the Final Round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads won't be
0:18:38 > 0:18:39allowed to take part in this round.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43So, Eddie and Dave from Suspicious Looking Sausages
0:18:43 > 0:18:45and Lisa and Judith from the Eggheads,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47would you now please leave the studio.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Ed, Rosie and Chris,
0:18:50 > 0:18:54you're playing to win the Suspicious Looking Sausages £3,000.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Steve, Chris and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59which is the Eggheads' reputation
0:18:59 > 0:19:01and just to keep a bit of a run going here.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07They're all going to be General Knowledge and you may confer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09So, Suspicious Looking Sausages,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11the question is, can your three brains defeat
0:19:11 > 0:19:13these three Eggheads over here?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15And would you like to go first or second?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17We'd like to go first, please.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22OK, Rosie and team, good luck.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Which of these roads is sometimes known
0:19:25 > 0:19:27as the North Cheshire motorway?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Well... It's not the M1 or M4, is it?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It can't be the M4.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- It's got to be the M56. - It's the M56.- Definitely.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Well, as Southerners, we know for sure it's not the M1 or the M4,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44so it's got to be the M56.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45M56 is quite right.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Well done.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Over to you, Eggheads.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51What is the meaning of the word bellicose?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Bellicose, is that...?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Happy with aggressive?- Warlike.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Yeah, the literal translation is warlike, it's aggressive.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Aggressive is correct.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Challengers,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10until 1965, what was the Soke of Peterborough?
0:20:10 > 0:20:11That's S-O-K-E.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- I've thought it was official of the church.- Would you?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I was thinking more an administrative area,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- but I don't know.- It makes sense. - Do you have any knowledge of it?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28But do you know this is an official of the Church?
0:20:28 > 0:20:29- No.- What do you think?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32My feeling is it's a person.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33We're torn between the other two,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35official of the church and administrative area.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I feel we ought to know this.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Any linguistic thing here?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Yeah, I mean, it sounds almost Anglo-Saxon, doesn't it?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Yeah.- Which is why I think of it as a sort of area.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47I quite like that, now.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'm happy with that.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- You've got the Witton Council... - Yeah.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56So we're really not sure about this, as you've probably gathered,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58but we're going to go for administrative area.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Administrative area is your answer.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Let's see, Eggheads, is that right?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Yes.- Yeah, you're right.- Yay!
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Great.- It would've been easy to go for official of the church.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09So they're ahead. Eggheads, your question.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Isambard Kingdom Brunel's ship, the SS Great Britain,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15is in dry dock in which city?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Brizzle.- Bristol, isn't it?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22That is in Bristol.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Bristol is correct.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27So, third question can be crucial.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Get this right, it'll put some pressure on them.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Which US inventor was responsible
0:21:31 > 0:21:34for developing the synthetic fibre known as Kevlar?
0:21:39 > 0:21:40- No idea.- I've got no clue at all.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- We're looking at you, Ed, for this one.- I haven't got a clue.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I'm trying to think if there's any clue actually in
0:21:45 > 0:21:47the initials of the letters,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49and there's nothing obvious.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51No, I don't think. I mean,
0:21:51 > 0:21:55my instinctive reaction is to go for the more exotic name,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Stephanie Kwolek.- Yeah, me too. For no real reason.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- There's a K there. - And there's a K in it!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Absolutely!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05So for not the best reasons, I think we'll guess at Stephanie Kwolek.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Stephanie Kwolek is your answer.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10If you've got this right, you've got three in a row.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Eggheads, what's the answer? - Yeah, Stephanie Kwolek.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Wow.- Stephanie Kwolek is the right answer.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17OK, well, this is interesting, Eggheads.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20You've got yourself back into a bit of a stride,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24and now here we are and you have to get this one right or you've lost.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Which American general, nicknamed Old Fuss and Feathers,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30captured Mexico City in 1847?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Winfield Scott.- It's Scott.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Yeah, Sam Houston was Texas Republic.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Grant was later.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Yeah, it's Winfield Scott.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44You said it with certainty and you're absolutely right.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Winfield Scott it is.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Difficult to catch them on their American history, I must say.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50So 3-3. Perfect rounds for you both.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52We go to Sudden Death again.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Which term taken from the Latin for pearl barley
0:22:56 > 0:23:01is used in Italian cooking to refer to both the flour made
0:23:01 > 0:23:05from maize and to the thick porridge that it is used to make?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I know this, and I've got...
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Is it polenta?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Polenta makes sense, doesn't it?
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Yeah, that makes sense.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I'm not 100% sure, but we think it could be polenta.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Polenta is quite right.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Yeah, well done.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Well played.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23OK, Eggheads, get this wrong,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25the contest is over. We're on Sudden Death.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28In which year did the Beatles first release the album
0:23:28 > 0:23:29known as the White Album?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- '68.- '68.- '68.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33It's the year after Sergeant Pepper.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Yeah.- 1968.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- Definitely.- We think that's 1968, Jeremy.
0:23:39 > 0:23:401968 is correct.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Challengers, the Protecting Veil
0:23:45 > 0:23:47is the title of a piece for cello and strings
0:23:47 > 0:23:50by which modern English composer?
0:23:51 > 0:23:52OK, so we've got...
0:23:52 > 0:23:54John Tavener?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Well, I don't know.- I can't help.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Judith Weir? I don't know, who else...- It could be.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02It's not Julian Anderson, is it?
0:24:02 > 0:24:03No.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I think it could be John Tavener.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Except he's dead.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I can't add anything to this, I'm afraid.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Do you want to go for it?- Tavener?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21OK. I don't think this is right, but we're going to go for John Tavener.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22John Tavener is the right answer.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- No!- Yes!- I'm so glad you got that,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27because I was feeling very guilty about the word modern
0:24:27 > 0:24:30because I think you thought that meant not dead.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Yes, exactly.- But, actually, you can be modern and dead.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35So...I'm relieved, here.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37John Tavener is right. Well done.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40OK, Eggheads under pressure here.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45The paintings on the early 16th century work known as the Isenheim
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Altarpiece are regarded as the masterpiece of which German artist?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- Grunewald.- Yeah. Matthias Grunewald. - Yeah, yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- As soon as you said it. - We'll go with that?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- I think it's Matthias. - It is Matthias.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Matthias Grunewald. - Matthias Grunewald
0:25:00 > 0:25:01is quite right.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03They are good!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05But you're good, too.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Which British fashion designer was quoted as saying,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09"A man should look as if he had
0:25:09 > 0:25:12"bought his clothes with intelligence,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16"put them on with care and then forgotten all about them"?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Wow. If we're talking about men's designers what about Hardy Amies?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Or a more modern one.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Or Norman Hartnell? - Alexander McQueen?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Who is that American?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- Boateng? Yeah.- Paul Smith.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33No, it can't be.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36The way it's put almost sounds more traditional, don't you think?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Hardy Amies is quite good...
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- I think that sounds quite classic. - Yes, that sounds right.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45So we're going to try Hardy Amies.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Hardy Amies is the right answer.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49You're very good.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Eggheads, you've got a real battle on here.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53My goodness me!
0:25:54 > 0:25:57This is fascinating. I've got no idea who's going to win this.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59OK, Eggheads, what is the name of
0:25:59 > 0:26:04the palace in Rome that serves as the French Embassy?
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Get this wrong, it's over.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Palace in Rome that serves as the French Embassy.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10INDISTINCT
0:26:10 > 0:26:12No, that's in Florence.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Ah.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Nothing to go on, is there? - The Villa Borghese.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23The Villa Borghese
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- is an art gallery.- Mm. I'm just clutching at what's in Rome.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31The only other one I'm coming up with is the Palazzo Barberini,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33but whether that...
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I'm not sure I've heard this.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I can't think of other palazzos other than the Barberini.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I mean, there are obviously plenty of palazzos.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54May have to go for that, just on the basis that it's the only one we can
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- think of.- Yeah.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Well, we don't know. Just randomly try Palazzo Barberini.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Palazzo Barberini.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Well, three very strong Eggheads here, including Kevin,

0:27:17 > 0:27:19The correct answer is Palazzo Farnese.
