0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Challenging our resident quiz champions today are
0:00:34 > 0:00:37the Knights Templemen from Buckinghamshire.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Now, this team normally quiz against each other
0:00:39 > 0:00:41at the Mitre pub in Buckingham,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43but they've joined forces to take on the Eggheads.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let's meet them.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hello, I'm Rog. I'm a journalism lecturer.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, I'm Steve. I'm a product specialist.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Hello, I'm Karen, and I'm a senior developer.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Phil. I'm a retired IT manager.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Hi, I'm George, a retired information manager.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- Rog and team, hello. ALL:- Hello!- Good to see you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06And it's all around the Mitre pub, then, Rog?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08It is arranged around the Mitre,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10and we're named after Keith Templeman,
0:01:10 > 0:01:13our landlord, who sadly died last year.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16He always wanted to put in a team on Eggheads -
0:01:16 > 0:01:17here we are in his honour.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Oh, how nice. So he used to watch this crowd...- Absolutely.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- ..when he had the time? - Absolutely.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- He was probably a busy man. - He was a fine quizzer as well.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Oh, right. Now, you quiz at the Mitre?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- That's right.- But you quiz normally separately, I understand.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32That's right. Sunday night we're different teams.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35But, as I say, we've come as a super-team.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38So you've taken the cream of the crop from inside the pub?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Just so, just so.- And I'm sensing you're familiar with the show,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43so you've been having a look at their strengths and weaknesses?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Absolutely right. - And I wish you luck.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Thank you very much indeed. - Have a great time playing.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs
0:01:50 > 0:01:51for our Challengers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59So, Knights Templeman, the Eggheads have won the last four games.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01They're getting into their stride now,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03which means there's £5,000 for you to win.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04- Would you like to try? ALL:- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07OK, Rog and team, the first head-to-head battle
0:02:07 > 0:02:11is on the subject of Arts & Books, and you can choose between
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Judith, Kevin, Pat, Chris and Lisa.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Karen, I think.- Yes.- I think... - Do you want to do that, Karen?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Yeah.- OK. - Who do you want to go for?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21OK, Karen against whom?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- I would suggest...- Who looks unread? - ..Pat perhaps?- Yes.- Yes, Pat.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26- Yeah, Pat.- Very good.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30So, Karen from Knights Templeman to play Pat from the Eggheads.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32You haven't had that many run-outs recently, Pat.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- No, no.- See you in the booth.- Yes.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:02:37 > 0:02:40in our famous Question Room?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So, you were the choice for Arts & Books, Karen.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Yes, that's right.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Any particular period, or fiction, or anything you like especially?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Fiction... Well, I like sort of quite modern fiction,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I think, really.- OK, Karen, your choice, would you like to go
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- first or second against Pat? - I'll go first, please.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02And here we go. In which city is Arthur Miller's 1955 play
0:03:02 > 0:03:04A View From The Bridge set?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Now, I don't know this,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13so I'm going to have to take an educated guess on it.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Although he's American, I don't think it's New York.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I will say Paris.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23It's the obvious one actually, it is New York.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24SHE SIGHS
0:03:24 > 0:03:25So, New York is the answer, Karen.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Pat's question.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30What are described in Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 as being
0:03:30 > 0:03:32"nothing like the sun"?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I think that's my mistress' eyes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42My mistress' eyes is the correct answer.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44OK, Karen, your question.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48The ferrule forms a small but essential part
0:03:48 > 0:03:51of which piece of artistic equipment?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Well, a ferrule is on the end of a walking stick quite often.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I don't think it's going to be the canvas.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01I'll go for brush.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I'm glad you did. You're right, it is brush.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Pat, your question.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10The Romanian-born sculptor Constantin Brancusi
0:04:10 > 0:04:13made his career in which country?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I know one of his pieces was famously suspected of not being
0:04:20 > 0:04:25a sculpture when it was imported to the United States.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29But I think he was based in France, and I think there are historic,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32quite close links, for some reason, between France and Romania.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34So, I'll go for France.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36France is right.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37France it is.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Karen, back to you, and you need to get this one right.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42The wealthy Hugo Mallinger is a character
0:04:42 > 0:04:45in which George Eliot novel?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Oh, I haven't read any George Eliot!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56So...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I will say Silas Marner.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Daniel Deronda is the answer, Karen.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Daniel Deronda.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05So, Pat has won through and will be in the final round.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Difficult early start for our Challengers,
0:05:07 > 0:05:08but plenty of time still.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Please rejoin your team-mates. We'll play on.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13So, as it stands, the Knights Templeman
0:05:13 > 0:05:15have lost a brain from the final round.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17The Eggheads have not lost any yet.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19And the next subject for you is Science.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Who's the scientist?- Science...
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- I'll take that on, if you want? - Yeah.- Do you fancy that, George?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Yeah, I reckon I'll take that on. - Okey doke.- Who shall we go for?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Our retired information manager George against anyone but Pat.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Lisa?- Yeah, yeah. I think that would be sound.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- I'd like to take on Lisa, please. - OK.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40George from the Knights Templeman versus Lisa from the Eggheads on
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Science, and please go to the Question Room.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46George, do you have a science background?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Yes, I went to university in Edinburgh,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52not a million miles from here, obviously, in the studio.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I studied an interesting degree called chemical physics,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58but that was an awfully long time ago.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Well, but then that's two sciences sorted, isn't it, Lisa?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- So far, yeah.- Chemistry and physics. - Yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- And you did historical English. - Yeah, or English historically.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Yeah, basically, there was no science involved.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Good luck hitting the heights with Lisa here,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15and would you like to go first or second on Science?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Here we go with your first question, George.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28In most types of barn owl, the face is predominately what colour?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Barn owls are not my favourite subject.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36They're almost ones you can see in the dark,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39so I shouldn't think they'll be black.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I think yellow is...unlikely.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I'd prefer, I think, to go for white, Jeremy, please.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48White is right.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Lisa, in what state does the element
0:06:51 > 0:06:54neon exist at room temperature?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57I hate this.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00This programme just makes you question everything you ever knew.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01It's horrible!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Why do I put myself through this again?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I think it's a gas. Gas.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Gas is the correct answer, Lisa.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10And we go back to you, George.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12In chemistry, a change in what aspect
0:07:12 > 0:07:15of a universal indicator substance
0:07:15 > 0:07:20is used to gauge the acidity or alkalinity of a solution?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26This is a relatively straightforward one,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29if my brain is functioning normally,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32because I don't think it's anything to do with temperature,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36nor does it do shape, but I do think its colour changes.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38So I'm going for its colour.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Colour is the right answer. Its colour.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44OK, Lisa, back to you. What is the approximate melting point
0:07:44 > 0:07:46in degrees Celsius of lead?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54OK.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, not, obviously, in such common usage any more,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00since they've found out that lead does rather bad things to you.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04But I would be sort of inclined to go lower rather than higher,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07on the basis it had lots of historical applications,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10and I don't know how hot they could get things.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13No, I'm... I could sit here all day and not find a better basis
0:08:13 > 0:08:18for narrowing it down. So, if we turn back to history and say that,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21OK, you know, they're working with relatively primitive tools,
0:08:21 > 0:08:25and they could get lead to form a lot of different shapes
0:08:25 > 0:08:29by melting it and letting it solidify again...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Let's try 327.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33327 is right.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34SHE EXHALES
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Back to our Challenger.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Get this right, put a bit of pressure on Lisa, George.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Which member of the crew of Apollo 17,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46the last Apollo mission to land on the moon,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50had earlier flown on the Apollo 10 mission?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I think I may have to take a punt on this,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01because I don't know the answer.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Eugene Cernan has been in space more than twice,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09though whether or not that was Apollo 10 and Apollo 17,
0:09:09 > 0:09:10I don't know.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13But on the basis of he's the name that is most familiar,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16we will go, Jeremy, with Eugene Cernan, please.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I thought this Apollo question would be good to you, and indeed it is.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Eugene Cernan is right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Well done, George, three out of three on your Science.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Now, Lisa, pressure on.
0:09:25 > 0:09:31Turquoise is an opaque blue to green mineral that is a hydrated phosphate
0:09:31 > 0:09:34of aluminium and which other metal?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Presumably, it's got to be something that makes it go blue-green,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43which would imply copper.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I can't make any connection between the colour of turquoise
0:09:47 > 0:09:53and nickel or zinc, so on that basis, I'll go for copper.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Copper is the right answer.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Well done, three out of three for you both.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59And with the scores level, we go to Sudden Death.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00George, it gets a bit harder,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I don't give you different options, OK?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03- OK.- So, here we go.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06In terms of mobile telecommunications technology
0:10:06 > 0:10:12and mobile phones, what does the "G" in 3G and 4G stand for?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15There are all sorts of possibilities there.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Again, it's not one...
0:10:17 > 0:10:21It's one of these terms you tend to use and bandy around,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24but it could be so many things.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29But I think I have to go with what should be the obvious answer,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I hope, is generation.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Generation is right, well done.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Yeah, you have third-generation, fourth-generation.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37OK, Lisa, to stay in. We're on Sudden Death here.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42The name of the element selenium is taken from the Greek word for which
0:10:42 > 0:10:43celestial object?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Named after the moon.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It is named after the moon.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You're still level, it's still Sudden Death.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52And we go back to you, George.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56The constellation Horologium, one of the 88 modern constellations,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00is so-called because it's said to resemble what object?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Well, judging by the name,
0:11:03 > 0:11:09it would have to be something to do with time of some description.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11So...
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I am going to have to guess a clock face.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Yep, that's right, clock face.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Lisa, in the categorisation of the three primary types
0:11:22 > 0:11:29of lightning, IC, CC and CG, what does the "CG" stand for?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Well, I think I'd ridden my luck far enough anyway.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I couldn't even begin to guess.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37No, George deserves this, hold my hands up - pass.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Really?- Yeah, really.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Do you know, George?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Not the faintest clue, but if I had to guess...
0:11:43 > 0:11:46cumulus generated?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- No. Anyone know here? - Would it be cloud-to-ground?
0:11:49 > 0:11:50- Cloud-to-ground.- Ah!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Cloud-to-ground, yeah, simple as that.- Interesting.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55So, well done, George, you played really well there.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Thank you very much. - And Lisa held on in, but in the end
0:11:57 > 0:11:59the history and the English didn't help you.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I think that was only fair, really.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03So, you've taken on an Egghead, you've emerged triumphant.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05George, you'll be in the final round.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Please return and rejoin your teams.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11As it stands, the Knights Templeman have lost a brain
0:12:11 > 0:12:12from the final round.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14The Eggheads have also lost one now,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16because the Knights are fighting back.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19And the next subject for you, Knights, is Music.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20So, who wants this?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Music, well... George.- It's got to be Steve.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- It's got to be me, I think.- Steve, I think you're in the frame, man.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Steve, music, against which Egghead, Steve?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- I'm going to go for Judith. - Judith, OK.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34So, it's going to be Steve from the Knights Templeman
0:12:34 > 0:12:35versus Judith from the Eggheads.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And to ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Well, Steve, I thought you'd be chosen for music,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44because I know you play the guitar and other things.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Yes, that's right. - And you played with Billy Idol?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I did back in 1976 at Sussex University,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- when he was William Albert Broad. - Lovely.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55OK, well, I hope you do well in this round against Judith.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Would you like to go first or second?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I'll go first, if you don't mind.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Good luck.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07The dance music known as acid house first became popular at the
0:13:07 > 0:13:08end of which decade?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14That would be the end of the 1980s.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It was indeed the '80s, yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Judith, your question.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Which female singer had three songs in the top ten
0:13:20 > 0:13:23of the very first UK Official Singles Chart,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26published in November 1952?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Well, I think Aretha Franklin is too modern.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I mean, she's too young, as it were.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I think it must be Vera Lynn.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Vera Lynn is right. Very good.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Your question, Steve.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Which song by the folk singer Ewan MacColl
0:13:47 > 0:13:49has been covered on record by many singers and groups,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52including Rod Stewart, The Dubliners and The Pogues?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Dirty Old Town.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Dirty Old Town is right.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Can you play that on your guitar? I bet you can.- I can.
0:14:02 > 0:14:08Judith, which group released the greatest hits album Snap in 1983,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10one year after they disbanded?
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Pink Floyd.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- The Jam is the answer. - The Jam, right.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- The Jam, The Jam.- OK.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Your question, Steve.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24In 1939, Dmitri Shostakovich was commissioned to write
0:14:24 > 0:14:27a celebratory piece of music intended to be played
0:14:27 > 0:14:31as the marching bands of the Red Army paraded
0:14:31 > 0:14:33through the capital of which country?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I would go for Poland.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43It's not Poland, it's Finland.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Chris will tell us why.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Well, there was a Russo-Finnish war in 1939.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Russia always resented losing Finland,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52which until 1919 had been
0:14:52 > 0:14:54more or less part of the Russian Empire.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- And the Finns fought them off. - The Finns fought them off, yeah.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58The so-called Winter War, yeah.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Right, so that answer means, Judith, you have a chance to stay in
0:15:02 > 0:15:04if you get this right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09Which band had a UK top ten hit in 1987 with True Faith?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12I absolutely no idea.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17New Order.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19You're absolutely right! I don't know how you did that!
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Because it's the magic right. - It is the magic right, well done.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24New Order is the right answer.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26So, level after three questions, two points each.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Steve, we go to Sudden Death.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30It gets a bit harder, I don't give you options.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Crash, high hat and ride are types of which percussion instrument?
0:15:35 > 0:15:36They're cymbals.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Cymbals is right.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Judith, which song by Ed Sheeran begins with the lines
0:15:41 > 0:15:46"White lips, pale face, breathing in snowflakes"?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49No idea. I really don't know.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Snow.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- The A Team is the answer.- Mmm.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'm sorry, Judith, not in the A Team today.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Steve, you're through on Sudden Death, you're in the final round.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Well done. Cause for celebration for your team.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03That's good news for you!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05What's happening here? Are the Eggheads falling apart?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Do return to us, and we'll see what happens in the last round
0:16:08 > 0:16:10before the final.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14So, as it stands, the Knights Templeman have lost one brain
0:16:14 > 0:16:17from the final round. The Eggheads have lost two now, Eggheads.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19And the next subject is Politics.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22So this round and then the final. Who wants Politics?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- That'll be me, I think. - Very good, Phil.- So...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Which Egghead? You can have, Phil, either Chris or Kevin.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Yes... Very strong players.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I'll go for Chris, I think, because I have empathy with him.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36He'll be pleased to hear that.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Phil from the Knights Templeman is going to
0:16:38 > 0:16:40take on Chris, with whom he has empathy.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And to ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions
0:16:43 > 0:16:45in the Question Room?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48OK, Phil, Politics. Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'll serve first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Here we go. Good luck. In order to take their seat in the Commons,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58MPs must swear by Almighty God that
0:16:58 > 0:17:04"I will be faithful and bear true allegiance" to whom?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Well, it seems an inappropriate oath to the Prime Minister.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14The Mother of Parliaments sounds a bit abstract.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'm going to say the monarch, Jeremy, please.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- The monarch is the right answer. Well done, Phil.- Thank you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Chris, which British political figure
0:17:22 > 0:17:25was photographed standing outside a gold lift in Trump Tower
0:17:25 > 0:17:27in New York alongside Donald Trump,
0:17:27 > 0:17:31days after the latter's presidential election victory?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Oh, yeah, they've been very chummy of late, haven't they?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38It was Nigel Farage.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Nigel Farage is right. Well done.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Phil, Jean Chretien first became Canadian Prime Minister
0:17:45 > 0:17:47in the early half of which decade?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Ooh!
0:17:54 > 0:17:59I wouldn't consider myself an expert on Canadian politics,
0:17:59 > 0:18:04so I'm going to do what, in the Eggheads' case is logical deduction,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07but in my case is a stab in the dark.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I'll go for the 1980s.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11No, it's the 1990s.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13OK.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'm sorry. Chris, to take the lead,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18who was the last 20th century British Prime Minister
0:18:18 > 0:18:22to hold office while being a member of the House of Lords?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Well, Anthony Eden became the Earl of Stockton
0:18:29 > 0:18:31when he retired from politics.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Harold Macmillan was a nice old gentleman
0:18:34 > 0:18:36who retired to Birch Grove near Horsted Keynes.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41But Alec Douglas-Home was Lord Home of the Hirsel, or some such,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43so it's Alec Douglas-Home.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Alec Douglas-Home is correct.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I think he was Lord Home of the Hirsel, you're absolutely right.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51So, Chris is in the lead, and it means, Phil,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- you need to get this one right. - Indeed.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58In 1991, Leonid Kravchuk became the first president of which country?
0:19:03 > 0:19:08These are all republics formed after the meltdown of the Soviet Union,
0:19:08 > 0:19:12and I just don't know what the sequence
0:19:12 > 0:19:16of them being formed is.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18HE EXHALES
0:19:18 > 0:19:20What are we going to go for here?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I'm going to go with Estonia.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Kravchuk is a Ukrainian name, Phil. - Right...
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Ukraine is the answer there. - OK. Thank you.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31And that means you've been knocked out by Chris, I'm afraid.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Chris will be in the final round, and you won't.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35And, in fact, if you come back to us, gentlemen,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38we will play that final round for £5,000.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Chris, you had some facts on Macmillan and Eden.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Judith, you've got some slightly different facts.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Well, yes, Macmillan was the Earl of Stockton,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- after he became Prime Minister. - Not Anthony Eden?- No.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Anthony Eden was the Earl of Avon... - That's right.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- ..after he became Prime Minister. - Absolutely right.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59And Lord Douglas-Home became an MP as he became Prime Minister.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- He had to renounce his title.- Yeah.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04All right, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06it is time for the final round, which, as always,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09is General Knowledge. But I'm afraid those of you who lost
0:20:09 > 0:20:11your head-to-heads won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13So, that's Karen and Phil from the Knights Templeman,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15and also Lisa and Judith from the Eggheads -
0:20:15 > 0:20:17would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Rog, Steve and George, you're playing to win
0:20:22 > 0:20:24the Knights Templeman £5,000.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Chris, Pat and Kevin, you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29the Eggheads' reputation.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34this time they're all General Knowledge.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36You can confer, gentlemen.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38So, Knights Templeman, the question is,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42are your three brains able to defeat these three in open combat?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- You don't have to answer that! - Let's hope so.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Indeed, let's hope so. Rog, Steve and George,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- do you want to go first or second? - We'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Here is your first question.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Which actress did Bruce Willis marry in 1987?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- It wasn't Mira Sorvino.- No.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Far too young.- Far too young. - Yes. Absolutely right.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10OK, and Marisa Tomei...
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- I know nothing about her. - I've never...
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- It doesn't ring any bells. - It doesn't ring any bells.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- I'm fairly certain it was Demi Moore.- It's got to be Demi.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I think it was Demi Moore.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Demi Moore is right, well done.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Over to the Eggheads. First question.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Which of these expressions from the French for "cold blood" is used to
0:21:28 > 0:21:31describe someone who is cool and composed?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Sang-froid.- I think so.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41That is the literal translation of sang-froid.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Sang-froid is correct.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK, Knights Templeman,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47playing in memory of your landlord.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Here is the second question.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53In August 1934, which famous American criminal
0:21:53 > 0:21:56was transferred to the then recently-opened
0:21:56 > 0:22:01prison on Alcatraz Island, becoming prisoner number 85-AZ?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- OK, Dillinger was killed in Chicago. - Correct.- End of story.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Clyde Barrow was killed...
0:22:11 > 0:22:16- As in Bonnie and Clyde.- That leaves Al Capone as the only one left.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Yep.- I'm sure the other ones are both dead.- OK.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22I think it's Al Capone.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I was visiting Alcatraz on holiday a couple of years ago, and, yes,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Al Capone is quite right. Well done.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Your second question, Eggheads.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31In the classic British version of the board game Cluedo,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34what title was given to the female character
0:22:34 > 0:22:37whose surname was White?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Mrs. Mrs White.- Mrs White... - Yeah.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45OK? Happy with Mrs?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47It was Miss Scarlett. Yeah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50She is, was, Mrs White.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Mrs White is right.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53So, two each.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Tense final round. £5,000 we're playing for.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Challengers, in 1990, the newsreader Michael Buerk
0:22:59 > 0:23:03became the host of which radio programme?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10OK, You And Yours is Winifred Robinson.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13OK. Start the Week is, I think, Libby Purves...
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- No... Or Melvyn Bragg. - I think it was Melvyn Bragg. OK.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- The Moral Maze. - It's got to be The Moral Maze.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21It's got to be The Moral Maze.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23OK, we think it's The Moral Maze, Jeremy.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27It is The Moral Maze. Three out of three, you're doing really well.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29You may not need to do any more work today
0:23:29 > 0:23:32if they get this wrong, these Eggs.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Which of these state nicknames is commonly seen
0:23:35 > 0:23:40on vehicle licence plates from the US state of Arkansas?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49The Last Frontier is Alaska. Land of Lincoln is Illinois.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51So it's got to be The Natural State.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Yeah, it's certainly not Land of Lincoln.- No.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Some states have two or three, and they...
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Just occasionally have been known to, not quite swap,
0:24:01 > 0:24:06but something that you'd associate more with somewhere else becomes
0:24:06 > 0:24:09taken over. But I think, yeah...
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I think The Last Frontier is Alaska.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Arkansas, nothing to do with Lincoln.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18So I think The Natural State sounds like the logical one.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well, we think, by a process of elimination
0:24:20 > 0:24:24as much as anything else, that it must be The Natural State.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28If you've got it wrong, it's over, and they win £5,000.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30But the answer is The Natural State. Well done.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Three each. We go to Sudden Death in the final round.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35You've done brilliantly so far.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Challengers, keep it up.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I don't give you alternatives now.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42What is the meaning of the Latin phrase "vox populi"?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Voice of the people. - Voice of the people, yes.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46The voice of the people.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48The voice of the people is quite right.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50For a journalism lecturer, perfect question!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52"Vox pop", as they call it.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57Eggheads, the A1 road runs from Edinburgh all the way south,
0:24:57 > 0:24:58to which city?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- It's the old Great North Road. - It's London, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Does it go all the way to London?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05It doesn't get subsumed by the M1 or anything, no?
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- No, I don't think so. - It's the A1(M) down to Welwyn.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- But then it's just the old A1. - To London? Yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Where else is it going to stop, Peterborough?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Yeah, yeah.- London. - We think that's London.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21The old Great North Road, yeah.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24London is the right answer. Sudden Death, your question.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26The British nickel brass
0:25:26 > 0:25:32threepence coin, introduced in 1937, had how many sides?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- It's 12-sided.- 12?- Yeah. - Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- 12.- Yeah.- OK.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39We believe it's 12, Jeremy.
0:25:39 > 0:25:4212 is quite right. You're quizzing really well.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Eggheads, they're worried now.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Which female media personality and journalist became editor of the
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Independent on Sunday newspaper in 1999?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57We've got a bad track record with this sort of thing, haven't we?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Yeah.- It couldn't possibly be somebody like
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Janet Street-Porter, could it?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- No, it's not Janet Street-Porter. - You don't think so?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I don't think so, no.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Yeah...- Right.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12She's never mentioned it, has she, on Loose Women, so...
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Rosie Boycott? Would she fit the bill at all?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- She might do.- She is a journalist. - She might do, yeah.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I don't know. She's just another name, that's all.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26I quite like that. When you said that, something...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Yeah, all right?- I've no idea,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I just offered her as a name, that's all.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35No, no, but I think when you said that, that suddenly...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I mean, it may just be power of suggestion, I don't know.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40But that made me think, "Oh, actually..."
0:26:41 > 0:26:47- Any other thoughts?- No, I'm a bit blank on this one, I'm afraid.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- OK, shall I go for it? I mean, we'll have to...- Yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52We don't know. We don't actually know this at all.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I bet Rog would have preferred this one.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Shall we try it? Shall we try that?- Yeah, try it.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00We'll try Rosie Boycott.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Rosie Boycott is your answer. Rog, do you know this?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I think I would have said Janet Street-Porter.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Kevin would have said Janet Street-Porter,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- but Chris overruled him.- Yeah.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11It's all hanging on this.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14If you've got it wrong, they've won.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16The correct answer is Janet Street-Porter.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19We say congratulations, Challengers, you have won!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Ooh, Eggheads, I don't know what happened there!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- There we go.- When I saw that question... You've got a very bad...
0:27:30 > 0:27:33We've got a very bad track record on that. For some reason...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35It's actually... It's something on which the information
0:27:35 > 0:27:38is actually very difficult to find, I've found.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I only remember it because I asked her for a job.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Ah!- And she, in terms of...
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Because your profession is journalism -
0:27:45 > 0:27:48in terms of media personality, all respect to Rosie Boycott,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51but that's not how she would have gone into that job, is it?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Just so. Yeah, absolutely.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55There would have been a stronger journalism angle, quite simply.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57But, Chris, you had an interesting point there.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59You said, "I watch Loose Women,
0:27:59 > 0:28:00"and I've never heard her mention it."
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Anyway, what a way to remember your old landlord Keith, Rog.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Absolutely right. Absolutely right.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07We are proud for him.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Listen, well done, guys. I hope you enjoyed that.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- It was terrific.- Fantastic!- How do you feel? You've beaten them!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- It's terrific!- And they were just starting to get into
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- a bit of a roll, as well! - Wonderful team.- Yes.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19You played really well, because it's difficult
0:28:19 > 0:28:21when you take a hit early on to recover your composure.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24So, congratulations, Knights Templeman, you've won £5,000,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26you are officially cleverer than the Eggheads!
0:28:26 > 0:28:28It's official, seriously!
0:28:28 > 0:28:30You certainly proved they can be beaten, anyway.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Join us next time on Eggheads to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:33 > 0:28:36will be just as successful. That was a really good contest, wasn't it?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Many congratulations. Goodbye.
