0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up The Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers pit
0:00:26 > 0:00:29their wits against, possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads!
0:00:31 > 0:00:35If you'd like to work out a question from the Eggheads while you watch at home,
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Judith, you've got one for us!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I've got...
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Kissing Kevin this Thursday utilises arm wrestling.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I know it cos I've tried it.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47And it's a mnemonic for which group of countries?
0:00:47 > 0:00:53Oh, I see. Kissing Kevin this Thursday utilises arm wrestling.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Yes. And it's a mnemonic for a group of countries.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- And you'll tell us later on?- I will.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We will find out at the end of the show what the answer is.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Taking on our quiz champions today are The Nash Amblers,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05from Greater Manchester.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Now this team are all members of a walking football team
0:01:07 > 0:01:13who play at Tameside Stadium, home of Curzon Ashton FC in Ashton-under-Lyne.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Let's meet them.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hello, I'm Garry, I'm a part-time sales manager.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Hello, my name's Alan, I'm a retired lorry driver.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hi, I'm a Colin, I'm a retired director of human resources.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Hi, I'm John, I'm a retired mechanical engineer.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Hi, my name is Tony, I'm a retired heating engineer.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- So Garry and team, hello. ALL:- Hello!- Welcome. I've got to ask Garry about walking football,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I've never heard of it before. Is it what it sounds like?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39It's exactly what it sounds like.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42It's the game of football, and you cannot run.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45If somebody runs, then suddenly there's a whistle and a yellow card?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48There is a whistle and it's a free kick to the opposition, as you would expect.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Doesn't it get very tempting to just break into a trot?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53We do, and we all do it from time to time.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Not generally when you've got the ball, but when you try to get into position to receive a ball.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Then, there's a tendency to try and run.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And why play walking football, not the conventional sort?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Because it's for people from 50 years of age upwards.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07All of us are in our 60s or above
0:02:07 > 0:02:11and it's a game that we can now play on a level. It's a great leveller.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So, even if you're not the best player, or the quickest walker,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18it levels it off and it's more about touching and passing than actually being skilful and dribbling.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Because it's almost impossible to dribble past somebody at a walking pace.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- It levels the game off.- Sounds good this. BETH:- It sounds amazing. - DAVE:- It sounds excellent.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28When you have a penalty, can you run towards the ball for a penalty?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30No, one step. One step and then you have to kick the ball.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- That's all you're allowed.- And is it played all over the country?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- It is now.- 800 clubs nationwide.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36800?!
0:02:36 > 0:02:40A year ago, two years ago, it was 80, so it's growing exponentially.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- How wonderful.- Great exercise, great camaraderie.- Fantastic, great social event.- Brilliant.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46A normal 90-minute game?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49No, no, no, no, we usually you play an hour. Play 30 minutes each way.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Right.- Believe you me, after you come off after that, you'll know you've been playing.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And why are you called The Nash Amblers?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Well, the club where we play, as you mentioned, is Curzon Ashton.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00It's the last letter of Curzon and the first two letters of Ashton,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03and it's the local nickname for the club, we were called The Nash.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Because we don't run, we walk, we're the Amblers. So, the Nash Amblers.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Got it. Well, I wish you well, Challengers. Good luck.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Let's hope you're as good at quizzing as you are at walking football.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Every day, there is £1,000 of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to our next show.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Nash Amblers, the Eggheads have won just the last game,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25so they've had a bad time and are trying to get moving,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and you've got to tackle them, at slow speed, if you like.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31£2,000 says you can't beat them, would you like to try?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Indeed we would.- OK, the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Politics.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38So one of you, please, against Dave, Steve, Beth, Kevin or Judith.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Are you going to go for it?- Yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41I'll take Kevin, please.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Right, Alan, straight in.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Goes for the main man, no messing.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49So it's Alan from The Nash Amblers against Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53would you please walk briskly now to the Question Room.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Alan, you used to be a truck driver?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Yes, Jeremy. All kinds of jobs, but largely truck driving.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03And do you, at the end of your trucking career, because I know you're retired, do you say,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07"I think I have driven X miles?" Have you worked it out?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Roughly, in my head, I think I'm bound to have done, yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Something getting on for 1.5 million in trucks.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15How amazing! OK, Alan, Politics.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And would you like to go first or second against our Kevin?
0:04:18 > 0:04:19I'll go first, please.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Here we go with your question.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Alan, what title is bestowed on
0:04:26 > 0:04:29male members of the US House of Representatives?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I don't think it's mayor, because that would be specific to a city.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Likewise, governor to a state.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42I think I'll go down the centre for congressman.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Congressman is quite right.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Kevin, your question.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Kevin, who was elected president of France in May 2017?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Yes, a realignment of French Politics,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00because they had to develop a party afterwards.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It's Emmanuel Macron.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It is indeed Emmanuel Macron.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07One each. Alan, back to you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12The politician Aneurin Bevan is famous for spearheading the creation of what?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I think he was from the Valleys in South Wales,
0:05:17 > 0:05:22he was one of the major figures of the Labour movement in the 1920s and
0:05:22 > 0:05:24'30s, and I think it's the National Health Service.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26It is the National Health Service.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Well done, Alan. - You're playing well.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Kevin, what phrase did Donald Trump
0:05:31 > 0:05:35use to describe his plans to clean up the corruption of Washington?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Yeah, it became a real campaign slogan.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Drain the swamp.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Yes, indeed. Drain the swamp is right.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Third question now to Alan.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52George Nicoll Barnes and William Adamson are former leaders
0:05:52 > 0:05:54of which political party?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Names that I'm not familiar with, to be honest.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I don't think they've ever held power in my lifetime, obviously,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06so I'll discount Labour and Conservative.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I'll probably go for the Liberal party.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I was thinking that way too, but actually they're Labour.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I think probably Kevin would we be right in thinking the founding days?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Early days, yeah. Certainly before the Second World War, anyway.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22But, yes, it's a long way back.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25OK. So, your question, Kevin, to take the round.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Which former chair of the Conservative Party made headlines
0:06:28 > 0:06:32in the last days of the 2016 EU referendum campaign
0:06:32 > 0:06:37by claiming to switch from the Leave to the Remain side?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Can I just have the question again, Jeremy, please?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Which former chair of the Conservative Party made headlines in
0:06:46 > 0:06:49the last days of the 2016 EU referendum campaign
0:06:49 > 0:06:54by claiming to switch from the Leave to the Remain side?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Hmm, I don't remember that particular incident.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Of course, they've all performed that function,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01they've all been chair, so that doesn't help.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Erm...
0:07:02 > 0:07:08I think, on the basis of the way in which immigration...
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Well, maybe this is what I'm meant to think, I don't know, erm,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16was more and more played up by the Leave campaign,
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I'm starting to get a thought that maybe it got too much
0:07:20 > 0:07:22for Baroness Warsi.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Yeah, Sayeeda Warsi, I'll say.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Sayeeda Warsi is the right answer, Kevin.- Mmm.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30You've taken it, three out of three. Sorry, Alan.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Just that one wrong answer and you're not in the final round.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36But it's early and our Challengers can come back, no doubt about that.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Please rejoin your teams, gentlemen.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43So, as it stands, The Nash Amblers have lost one brain from the final
0:07:43 > 0:07:46round, the Eggheads have not lost any, so far. We stress so far.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49And the next subject for you guys is Music.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Who wants Music, then?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52That'll be me, Jeremy.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55OK, Garry, team captain, part-time sales manager.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Against which Egghead? It can't be Kevin.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59If it's pop music, the young ones will know as much as me,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- if not more.- Judith or Dave?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Judith.- If it's classical, she'll wipe the floor with me.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07We've just got to take the chance.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- It's pot luck, mate. - Do you reckon?- Definitely.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Judith, it's you, I think. Judith.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15All right, we never know whether it's going to be opera or rap,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19or '60s, you know. Once we had a lute come up, didn't we?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- A lute, yes.- Anyway, let's see.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Garry from The Nash Amblers to play Judith from the Eggheads,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27and let's see if the Challengers can win one back. Please take your positions now.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Garry, you're worried what Judith can do on this round?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Oh, yes.- Well, Music has been hit and miss hasn't it, recently, Judith?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Yes, very. I'm not at all good on modern music.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You still think U2 is a submarine?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Yes, exactly!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46But then again, your classical, your Mozart, your opera is...?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Well, I'm not that good at that either, I'm afraid.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Garry, here's hoping. - Yes.- Good luck to you.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Do you listen to a lot yourself, Garry?- Oh, yes, all sorts. - Mostly the station that you're on.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Oh, thank you, well, you'll definitely win this round.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Would you like to go first or second?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07And here is your question.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Paul Hewson is the real name of which singer?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Well, Sting is Gordon Sumner,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18and Elton John is Reginald Dwight.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20So it's Bono.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Bono is right, well done.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25You know which band he's in, Judith?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Erm, no.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Here's your question.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30You're bluffing me!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Which of these albums was released first, Judith?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Well, not Definitely Maybe, because that's more late.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Abba, what was Abba?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46'70s, '80s?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Gosh, I don't know.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51I think it's the Abba one.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- No!- OK.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- I don't know how to say this. - It's no.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Well, Oasis is the '90s, Abba, you're right, is the '70s.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59But Marvin Gaye is...
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- '71.- OK, '71, says Dave.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Oh.- So, he was '70s as well, so only a shade apart.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Anyway, it's the wrong answer?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I didn't know how to break it to you.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Just gently.- I didn't want you to be cross with me.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14If you do it kindly and gently, I don't mind so much.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17What's Going On by Marvin Gaye is the correct answer, Judith.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Garry, this has started well.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22But it may be part of some huge bluff she's playing.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26The recording artist Stormzy is best known for which genre of music?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Well, I would have to say, Jeremy,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I don't know any famous polka exponents
0:10:36 > 0:10:38and acid jazz falls into the same.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40So I'm going to go with grime.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Grime is right, you've got two out of two, well done.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45OK, Judith, you must get this right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Which Bob Dylan song begins with these lines?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50"Once upon a time you dressed so fine
0:10:50 > 0:10:54"You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?"
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Can you say it again?- Yeah, I'm not going to sing it, I'll say it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Which Bob Dylan song begins with these lines?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06"Once upon a time you dressed so fine
0:11:06 > 0:11:10"You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?"
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I don't think it's Mr Tambourine Man.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I think it's either Blowing In The Wind or Like A Rolling Stone.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I think it's Like It Rolling Stone.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21It is Like A Rolling Stone.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25OK, so, you can get the round with this question, Garry.
0:11:25 > 0:11:31With its premiere in 1893, which of Verdi's operas was his last?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38This is where it all goes wrong.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42I have absolutely no idea, Jeremy, on that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I really don't know.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I'm going to go Simon Bocanegra.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I suppose that La Traviata is the best known,
0:11:48 > 0:11:50and therefore probably wasn't his last.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54It's not Simon Bocanegra, it's Falstaff.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Unlucky, Garry.- You let Judith back in but she's not through yet.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Judith, get this right, you go to Sudden Death with Garry.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Get it wrong, you're in the sin bin.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Who is the creator of the award-winning musical, Hamilton?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Hamilton. I don't know what that's about,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14but I've got a feeling
0:12:14 > 0:12:18it's about one of the American founding fathers, isn't it?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I don't think Stephen Sondheim, because I think it's lately.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26It's written not too long ago.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I'm going to say Tim Minchin.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Beth, do you know? - It's Lin-Manuel Miranda.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Lin-Manuel Miranda is the right answer.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Judith, you've gone astray. So, Garry, you've taken on an Egghead,
0:12:38 > 0:12:39you've triumphed.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Pulled one back for the Challengers here.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Nice walking pace in that round, got you through on goal.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Garry and Judith, please return, we'll play round three.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51OK. As it stands, it's level.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54The Nash Amblers have lost one brain from the final round,
0:12:54 > 0:12:55the Eggheads have lost one as well.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57And the next subject is Food & Drink.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59So, who's taking this?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- All right, John? - Yeah, I'll take that.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03OK, John, against which Egghead?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06You can have any of the three on the left.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I think I'd like to go up against Dave, please. Being a fan.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12All right, John from The Nash Amblers
0:13:12 > 0:13:14to take on Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Please take your positions.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20How are you on Food & Drink, Dave? It's been a while?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Average, very average.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24It depends on what Fish Man told me.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Matt in Stockport, probably John's been to his chippy,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31but he's a good fish and chip, food connoisseur.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35So I try and listen to as much as he says.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38And try and pick that up and hope for the best.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40John, are you now retired as well?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- I am, Jeremy, yeah.- From what job?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I was a university lab technician for 31 years.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- In which university?- Manchester.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Was it fun?- It was great fun, yeah.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- A lovely place to work.- And nice students and seeing them all on their way into the world?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Absolutely, yeah. I got involved with a bit of the teaching as well.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Good stuff.- It was great.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59All right, Food and Drink, John, against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Would you like to go first or second?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10Here we go. Non-brewed condiment, as found in fish and chip shops,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12is a substitute for which seasoning?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Well, as a regular visitor to the chip shop,
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I know it's not ketchup.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23And as much as I enjoy curry sauce, it's not curry sauce, either.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24It's actually vinegar.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It is indeed. Non-brewed condiment.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Well done, John. - Do you ever ask for that, Dave?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32No, not at all. Fish Man, he just has vinegar.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34He would look blank if you asked him.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Send you out of the shop. - Yeah, I think so.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37- Happened to me.- Yeah?
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Here's your question. Which of these are common ingredients in the British dessert, spotted dick?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51It's not actually something that I've eaten too much of.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I don't like the look of jam and chocolate in suet pudding,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57nor meringue and lemon curd.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I'm going to go for suet and dried fruit, please.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Suet and dried fruit is correct, well done.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05I haven't had that dessert for quite a while either.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10John, barmbrack is a fruit bread originating in which country?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13So, barmbrack is B-A-R-M-B-R-A-C-K.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Barmbrack, one word.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Hmm.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Sounds very much like the Welsh bread, that.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I can't remember what we used to call it as kids,
0:15:25 > 0:15:26but it sounded very similar.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29I don't think it's an Australian word.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32So it's Belgium or... I'm going to go for Ireland,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35because I think the version I knew was a Welsh bread,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- so it might be similar to that. - Were you brought up in Wales?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I was brought up in Liverpool, so not far away.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Right, and it was some kind of barmbrack or something that was
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- referred to, was it? - Yes, it was, yeah.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Well, that's very handy, it is Ireland, well done.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Good stuff, John,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Good quizzing. OK, Dave,
0:15:51 > 0:15:55because of its EU-protected status, in order to be called Stilton,
0:15:55 > 0:15:59the cheese of that name must be produced in one of three counties.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, or which other?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Right. Can you repeat the question so I can get it clear in my head?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Because of its EU-protected status, in order to be called Stilton,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18the cheese of that name must be produced in one of three counties -
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, or which other?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Right, it's a bit of a tricky one for me because I'll tell you why.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'm going to rule out Lancashire.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Now, the village of Stilton's actually in Cambridgeshire.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Which could lead you to Essex,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34but I'm going to go for Derbyshire, please.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Very well done, Derbyshire it is.
0:16:35 > 0:16:382-2. OK, we go back to you, John,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40for your third question.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42What is the most widely-planted grape variety
0:16:42 > 0:16:45in the winemaking region of Bordeaux?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Syrah?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53It's going to have to be a guess.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I'm going to go pinot noir.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Let's see if the Challengers know? Anyone know here? Is he right?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00We're a bit split on it, Jeremy, we're not sure.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- We're split on it as well. - Merlot is the answer.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05So, a chance for Dave.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Dave, your third question for a place in the final.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12In French cooking, what is a bourride a type of?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Can you spell it for me, please?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Yeah, one word, B-O-U-R-R-I-D-E.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- Bourride.- Fish Man hasn't informed me about this, but...
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I'm going to go down the middle,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32because I've not really got a clue, can't really get it.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34B-O-U-R...
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Yep, I'm going to go for seafood stew, please.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Let's see. Judith, you've lived in France?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Yeah, that's right. - It's right, is it?- Yes.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Seafood stew is the right answer.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Well done, Dave. tell Fish Man when you see him.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I will do. You're in the final round.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50John, sorry. Again, it's them getting all their questions right.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Frustrating. - I don't mind losing to Dave.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56He is very good. So, Dave's in the final, John isn't.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57If you come back to us,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59we'll play one more round before the final.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04So, as it stands, the Nash Amblers have lost two brains now from the final round.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06The Eggheads have just lost just the one.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07A chance to strike back, Amblers,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09and it's Arts & Books.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Which one of you wants this?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I can't do Arts & Books.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16That would have been me.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Colin or Tony?- We knew this was going to happen, didn't we?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- I can't answer on Arts & Books. - You can't?- No.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- You're on, Col.- I'll tell you what, I'll sacrifice myself, OK?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Yeah.- It's going to be a complete guess.- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Go on.- Go on, Tony, it can happen.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33It's either Beth or Steve, so, the two newest Eggheads.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35We'll try Beth, please.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Right. Tony from The Nash Amblers takes on Beth on Arts & Books.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Could be a big moment in the game.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Please, for the last time, go to our Question Room.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47So, not the round you would have chosen, Tony?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Not really my subjects.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Anyway, you've got to change the game plan when you're playing
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- football as well.- Indeed, indeed.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54All right, so, Arts & Books,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56would you like to go first or second against Beth?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Here we go. The cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09is a character created by which playwright?
0:19:13 > 0:19:14That's obviously not Shakespeare.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I don't think it's Tom Stoppard.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I'm pretty sure it's George Bernard Shaw.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21George Bernard Shaw is quite right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25And the film, Eggheads, My Fair Lady, but the play was what?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Pygmalion.- Pygmalion.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31OK, Beth, in which year did Alfred Lord Tennyson
0:19:31 > 0:19:33become poet laureate of the UK?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Ooh, certainly wasn't 1950.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I'm pretty sure it wasn't 1750.
0:19:42 > 0:19:441850.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yep, Queen Victoria's favourite, 1850 is right.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Back to you, Tony. The artist,
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Sir John Tenniel is best known
0:19:51 > 0:19:54for illustrating the works of which writer?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01So, Sir John Tenniel.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The surname is T-E-N-N-I-E-L.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06I don't think it's Lewis Carroll.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Erm...
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Sounds like it could be Roald Dahl.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I'll go for Roald Dahl.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15No, he's a bit later, it's Lewis Carroll.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- Oh.- Actually. Roald Dahl is Quentin Blake, I guess.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22OK, Beth, to take the lead.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25The Hunt For Red October is a thriller by which writer?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Ooh, er...
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Not Frederick Forsyth.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I'm pretty sure it's Tom Clancy.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Tom Clancy's quite right.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40OK, you need to get this one right now, Tony.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Who painted the famous 1539 portrait of Anne of Cleves that was
0:20:44 > 0:20:48commissioned when Henry VIII was considering whether to marry her?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55I don't think it was Titian.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I'm pretty sure it's not Titian.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Not sure about Antonio da Correggio.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I'll go for Hans Holbein the Younger.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yeah, indeed, it is Hans Holbein the Younger.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Who famously did a portrait of Henry VIII, didn't he?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12That was his most famous painting, really.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14OK, so, Beth, you can take the round with this.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18What does the C stand for in the name of the author CS Lewis?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Oh...
0:21:23 > 0:21:28I'm sure it's not Chester, so it's between the other two.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I was thinking Charles before Clive came up.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34But I think he's Clive.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Clive is correct, Beth, you've taken the round.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Well done. Tony, beaten by our Egghead.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44So, it's looking tricky for the Challengers, but it is not by any means impossible.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Please come back to us, we'll play the final round for £2,000.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53it is time for our final round,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58But, sadly, those of you who lost your head to heads are not allowed
0:21:58 > 0:22:00to take part in the final.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04So, Alan, John and Tony from The Nash Amblers and also Judith from
0:22:04 > 0:22:07the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13Good luck, Garry and Colin, playing to win The Nash Amblers £2,000.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Dave, Steve, Beth and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19which is the Eggheads' precious reputation.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25You can confer, gentlemen.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27So, Nash Amblers, the question is,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31can your two brains defeat these four, either walking or running?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Would you like to go first, or second?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35We'll go first, thank you, Jeremy.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41OK, Colin and Garry, good luck to you both.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Here we go, your first question.
0:22:42 > 0:22:48The hypoglossal nerve mainly controls the muscles of which part of the human body?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Hypoglossal, hypoglossal... All one word,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57H-Y-P-O-G-L-O-S-S-A-L.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- I don't think it's the heart. - Do you not?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Hypoglossal.- Don't people get...
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Tongue...- People, er...
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Do you think it's the tongue?- Hm.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Do you think it's the tongue? - Could be, I don't know.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12We're lost on this, aren't we?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I can't see it being the kneecap. Could it be the knee?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Hypo, hypo...
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Hypodermia, hypothermia...
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Water... Hypo...
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- I think that's hippo. Well, maybe. - No, no.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Hypo.- Hypo.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- What do you think? - Have you any idea?- I haven't.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- I have not got a clue.- An educated guess?- I can't relate but I would,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I don't think it's the knee.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- I don't think it's the knee. Do you?- I think it's the tongue.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Do you? OK, go with it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I don't know, so just have a guess, I don't know.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44We don't know, as you can tell, we're absolutely bobbins on this.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Go on.- Can I change my mind? I'll go for heart?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You're giving the answer, go on, we agreed that.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50If it was a 50/50, you'll make a decision.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52We're going to go for heart, Jeremy.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Heart is your answer. I wish you hadn't changed your mind,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57it's tongue.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58The only, the only...
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Looking at the word, I thought epiglottis,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04is that... Where is the epiglottis? Is that the throat or something?
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- It is, yeah.- So epiglottis, glossal, I wondered if it was the mouth area.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Yeah, the glossal bit refers to the tongue.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16The tongue. And hypo means the bottom side of it?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- It means under.- Under, yeah. Tongue is the answer.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Eggheads, to you. The Ponte Vecchio
0:24:21 > 0:24:25is a famous stone bridge in which Italian city?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30- Florence.- Florence, yeah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33A bridge over the Arno.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36We're all fairly happy, Jeremy, that's over the Arno in Florence.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Trickier than it looks, that question, but Florence is right.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Your second question, to catch up.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Clint Barton is the alter ego of which Marvel comics superhero?
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Any idea?- Caught a couple of tartars here.- We have, haven't we?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Clint Barton?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I used to read the comic as a child...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I don't think it's Iron Man...
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I don't think it's Iron Man either.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Again, we might be 50/50 between Hawkeye and The Vision.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I've heard of Hawkeye, but I don't know who The Vision is, no idea.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13This one, you'll just have to pick, because we haven't got a clue,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- have we?- You choose this one.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18No! I wasn't very good last time.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Well, we weren't very good.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Slipping away this, isn't it?
0:25:23 > 0:25:24I'm afraid so, Garry.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Let's go for one, then.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- Go for it.- Left or right?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- It doesn't matter, just choose, because...- Clint Barton.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Right, I think we shall go for, it's a pure guess this one -
0:25:34 > 0:25:36we don't think it's Iron Man,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39so it's either Hawkeye or The Vision.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I think we're going to go for...
0:25:42 > 0:25:43- The Vision.- OK.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Let's see with the Eggheads. Do you know, Eggs?
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- I think it's Hawkeye. - Yeah, Hawkeye.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Your 50/50s are not serving you well!- No.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Gentlemen, you were right to rule out Iron Man.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58It gives the Eggheads the chance to take the contest with this one
0:25:58 > 0:26:02question now. Who directed the Oscar-winning film Good Will Hunting?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Linklater.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Gus Van Sant.- Was it Gus Van Sant? - Yes.- Right.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Good job you're here.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Are you happy with that, Gus Van Sant?- Yep.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Right, this is when it pays to listen to your team.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I'm reliably informed it's Gus Van Sant, Jeremy.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24You had a division, did you?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Two of you saying...- Linklater? - Linklater.- Yeah.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29OK, what did he direct, Linklater?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Boyhood, was it? - Boyhood was probably...
0:26:32 > 0:26:34In recent years, yes, best-known for that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Before Sunrise and stuff like that.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39So, were you right to rule out Linklater?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41If you've got this right, the contest is over.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42The correct answer is Gus Van Sant.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45We say well done, Eggheads, you have won.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Very bad luck on your 50/50s.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Good old Daphne used to be able to pick one of three unerringly,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- didn't she? Sorry.- Wasn't to be, it wasn't our day, was it?
0:27:00 > 0:27:01It wasn't your day, Nash Amblers.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03But been great to see you, I hope you've enjoyed it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Great, fantastic, yeah.- Good stuff.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Well, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:09 > 0:27:12most of the time, and here you are, reigning over Quizland again.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It does mean that the Challengers don't go home with the £2,000.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17So, the money rolls over to our next show.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Eggheads, congratulations,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21are you now going to get into your stride after that difficult time
0:27:21 > 0:27:23a while back? We'll see.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Oh, Judith, you had a question?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Oh, yes. So I did.
0:27:27 > 0:27:33The question was, kissing Kevin this Thursday utilises arm wrestling,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36which was a mnemonic
0:27:36 > 0:27:40for the collection of countries often known as the stans.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Which is Kazakhstan, Kurdistan,
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Turkmenistan, Tajikistan,
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52So that's the answer.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54So the last word was arm wrestling?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- And that's just Afghanistan. - Afghanistan, yes.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59OK, there's no W in there?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01There's no W in the mnemonic either.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- You two have cooked this up together, have you, this mnemonic? - Me?- Yes, you and Judith?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- Nothing to do with me.- You got her to say kissing Kevin every
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- Thursday!- I would just like to point out all that business is entirely hypothetical.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Oh, my goodness!
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Well, we'll have maybe some more questions for you from the Eggheads
0:28:19 > 0:28:21in future games, I know we will.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Meanwhile, do join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:24 > 0:28:26have got the brains to defeat them.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28There'll be £3,000 to play for.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Until we quiz again, goodbye.
