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 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Are you ready for the curtains to open now?- Yes.- Absolutely.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36All right. Good stuff.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38If you would like to work on a question from the Eggheads
0:00:38 > 0:00:41while you watch at home, Chris, I gather you've got one for us.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I have indeed, Jeremy, yes.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48What name connects underglaze blue porcelain and black shorts?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Underglaze blue porcelain and black shorts.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54OK. We're going to puzzle over that.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57We'll find out the answer at the end of the show. Thanks, Chris.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Challenging our resident quiz champions today are
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Frank's Friends from West Yorkshire.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Now this team all work together at the Theatre Royal Wakefield,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08the smallest Frank Matcham-designed theatre in the UK.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Let's meet them.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hello, I'm Dean and I'm a box office assistant.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Hi, I'm Janine and I'm a learning and participation manager.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hello, I'm Ann and I'm a part-time box office assistant.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Hi, I'm Helen, and I'm programme and tours manager.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Hi, I'm Kay, I'm a box office assistant.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27So, Dean and team, hello.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28- ALL:- Hello.- Great to see you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- So Frank Matcham was a designer, then, Dean?- Yes.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34So he built our theatre, 1894, it was.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38As well as ours he built quite a few theatres in and around the UK,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40London Palladium being the biggest one.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And, yes, ours, our little gem in Wakefield is the smallest
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Frank Matcham one, which we're all quite proud of.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- It's lovely.- He definitely sounds like he must have been
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- a quiz answer at some point. ALL:- Yes.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Has he come up, Frank Matcham? - Yeah, yeah.- Right.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54And what sort of dates was he?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- When did he live? - So he built ours in 1894.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I'm not sure. You might know a bit more about that than me, Ann.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01He died in the 1900s.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Was it about 1920 or something like that?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I think so. 1920, maybe.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Good stuff. Do you quiz together, you brilliant theatre people?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Every year at our theatre, when it gets to Christmas time
0:02:11 > 0:02:15we have an annual panto Christmas quiz with the cast and crew,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17just to get to know each other.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19But, yeah, we take that quite seriously, don't we?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Yeah!- We are a competitive team.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Does that mean you're in a costume of some kind when you hold the quiz?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Yeah. We're not. Sometimes the cast might be.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- OK.- No, we're definitely not.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Good stuff. Good luck to you, Challengers.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs, but if the
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads, the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41So, Frank's Friends, the Eggheads have won the last seven.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43There's pros and cons here, basically.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45They're in good shape, which is bad.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47However, they've defeated a lot of other teams,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49so there's a good old jackpot now.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52£8,000. Would you like to try and win it?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53- Yes.- Excellent!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56So we're on our way and the first head-to-head battle
0:02:56 > 0:02:59is on the subject not of Theatre, I'm afraid, but Sport.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01So one of you, please, against either
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Lisa, Steve, Barry, Kevin or Chris.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Shall we do what we said we were going to do?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Yeah.- Will you do Sport?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09OK. And I'll go against Chris, please.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Oh, OK, you know the programme well, I can tell!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14You've got a plan, so, Kay,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18who's the box office assistant from Frank's Friends, versus our own box
0:03:18 > 0:03:21office assistant here, Chris from the Eggheads.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27To ensure there's no conferring, would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29So, it must be fun, Kay, the box office?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Yeah, we have a lot of really great customers that come in and, yeah,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34it's really good fun. Good team.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38And it's a well-supported theatre in the area?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Yes, very, very good local support.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh, fantastic. So, how does it work?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Do people normally come on the day to buy tickets or do they book them a long time in advance?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Oh, book a long time in advance. 12 months in advance for some shows.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52And the panto, I guess, is the sell-out, is it?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Yeah, the sell-out show, yeah. - All right, well, good luck here.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Kay, you're up against Chris, would you like to go first or second?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06All right, the Theatre Royal Wakefield takes on the Eggheads
0:04:06 > 0:04:07and here is your first question.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12The rugby union player Brian O'Driscoll played 133 matches for
0:04:12 > 0:04:14which international team?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Rugby's not my best sports knowledge, Jeremy,
0:04:21 > 0:04:26but just from the name, I'm going to go Ireland.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Ireland is the right answer, well done.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Good stuff. Chris, on to you.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Which of these tennis players is the oldest?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41The one that seems to have been around longest is Roger Federer,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43so presumably he's the oldest.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Roger Federer is right. That's one way of doing it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Kay, your question.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Which of these drivers won his first Formula 1 race
0:04:49 > 0:04:53at the 2017 Russian Grand Prix?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Formula 1, again, is not one of my favourite sports.
0:05:05 > 0:05:12I think I'm going to just have to plump for one and I will say...
0:05:12 > 0:05:14..Daniel Ricciardo.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Let's see if Chris knows this. Chris?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Vague idea it's Valtteri Bottas.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21It is Valtteri Bottas,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23so Chris has the chance to take the lead.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Which role does Alex Hales usually perform
0:05:26 > 0:05:28for the England one-day cricket team?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I've not heard of him as a batsman or a bowler,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- so it must be a wicketkeeper. - Eggheads?
0:05:37 > 0:05:38- Batsman.- Opening batsman.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Opening batsman?- Yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43OK, Kay, onto you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44One each. Your third question.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48What was the distance of the men's javelin world record
0:05:48 > 0:05:52set by Jan Zelezny in 1996?
0:05:59 > 0:06:04He was a brilliant javelin thrower and I know it was a really long
0:06:04 > 0:06:09distance, so I'm going to discount 78.48
0:06:09 > 0:06:13and then it's a toss-up between the other two.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17And I'm going to say...98.48m.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And you're absolutely right, well done.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Good quizzing. 98.48.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24So, Chris, to stay in, here's your question.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Which of these snooker world champions usually plays left-handed?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I think that's Graeme Dott.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Graeme Dott.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Steve knows.- It's Mark Williams, unfortunately.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Any way of getting to that through guesswork, Steve?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- You can't really guess it. - No, you've got to have seen him.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Mark Williams is the answer, Chris.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47You've been knocked out. Well done, Kay!
0:06:48 > 0:06:51The curtains open dramatically for our Challengers here.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52You've taken on an Egghead
0:06:52 > 0:06:54and you've won through, so first round to you.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Come back to us, please. We'll play on.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01So as it stands, Frank's Friends have not lost any brains
0:07:01 > 0:07:03from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Chris has gone. And the next subject for you is Science.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Who wants Science?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- I'll take it.- You sure?- Yes. - Do you want to do Science?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Yep. Brilliant.- Helen?- Yep.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Against which Egghead? It can't be Chris.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- What do you reckon, Kay? - They're all really good.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20You're our expert, Kay. What do you think?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I think you can choose any of them and it will all be
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- as difficult as each other.- Oh, thanks!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27LAUGHTER
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Can I go up against Barry, please?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Of course you can. And Barry loves the laboratory, don't you?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- I do.- It's like the scene from Monster Mash.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35LAUGHTER
0:07:35 > 0:07:39So Helen from Frank's Friends versus Barry from the Eggheads on Science.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41To ensure there is no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45So is your background in science, Helen?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Erm, no, not at all!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51It's an arty team, isn't it, because you're theatre-based, so...?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Yeah.- This is always going to be a tricky one.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57It is, but it's something that I've been quite interested in in a while,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59so hopefully the right questions come up.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Very good. And it describes you, doesn't it, Barry?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Just an amateur interest that you have.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Yes, I've maintained it all my life.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I mean, science is the essential building block
0:08:07 > 0:08:10for the world we live in, so it's important to know about it.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12All right, so let's see how matched we are.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Helen, would you like to go first or second?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15First, please.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Good luck to you.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23What sort of diet does a rhinoceros have?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Well, I know it doesn't eat meat.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I would assume a rhino wouldn't be catching any flies,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38so I'm going to go with herbivorous.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Yes, unless it's sort of spearing flies on its horn.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It is herbivorous.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Well done. OK, Barry, your question.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50How many fibula bones are there in the typical human body?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Well, there's one in each leg, so that makes two.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Two is right. It's the thigh bone, is it, or what?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59The lower leg bone, tibia and fibula.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Right. Helen, your question.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04The chemical compound hydrogen sulphate
0:09:04 > 0:09:07has what distinctive smell?
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Is it...?
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Erm... I'm not familiar with the compound,
0:09:16 > 0:09:21but I've never heard of anything smelling like burning rubber
0:09:21 > 0:09:27or wet dog, but I know, I think when some volcanoes erupt
0:09:27 > 0:09:30there can be a smell of rotten eggs, so I'm going to go with that.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Yes, unforgettable smell.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Rotten eggs is the right answer.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Well done. Barry, back to you.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38What kind of creature is a taipan?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I think a taipan is an extremely venomous Australian snake.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Right, and here you disobey the rule of Judith, whose rule is,
0:09:49 > 0:09:53if there is an antelope among the options, always go for it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55You see, I have a different rule - if I know it,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I go for the right answer!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Well, snake has served you well.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It is a snake.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02You are level after two questions.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Helen, it's going well so far.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10The semitendinosus muscle is found in which part of the human body?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Well, it sounds like...
0:10:15 > 0:10:19..it would be some type of tendon
0:10:19 > 0:10:23and I don't think you have any in your chest,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26so I think it's going to either be arm or leg,
0:10:26 > 0:10:31so I'm going to take a punt and say arm.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Eggheads, do we know?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Not too sure. - Tempted with leg.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38They're not sure. Leg is the answer.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Oh.- The back of the thigh.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42We've done... Every answer seems to be either leg or snake
0:10:42 > 0:10:46in this round. OK, Barry has a chance to take the round.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Barry, the snapdragon is a member of which plant genus?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Narcissus are daffodils, myosotis are forget-me-nots,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01but I think snapdragons are antirrhinums.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Oh, I thought you were going to be confused by that,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07but you're too good. Antirrhinum is correct.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09And well done, Barry, you're in the final. Sorry, Helen.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12But you played well, there, and if you come back to us,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14we'll see what happens in Round Three.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17So, Eggheads, the semitendinosus muscle, back of the thigh,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20it's one of the three hamstring muscles.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21- Oh.- OK, there we are.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26As it stands, Frank's Friends have lost a brain from the final round,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29but they've knocked out Chris on the Eggheads' side as well,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32so it's level as we go into Round Three, and this is Film & TV.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Now, I'm thinking this is up your street.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Yeah, well, we've said, haven't we, I'll do Film & TV?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38OK, Dean, the skipper goes in.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41And you can have Kevin, Steve or Lisa.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Not easy.- What do you think?
0:11:43 > 0:11:44- It's so hard to say.- Lisa?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Lisa on TV.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Right, yeah. Lisa, please.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Dean from Frank's Friends versus Lisa from the Eggheads,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54please go to the Question Room now.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Good luck, Dean. Team captain going in. First or second?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Erm, I'll stick with what we've done so far and go first.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07And here we go, your first question.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13"They call it a Royale with cheese" is a line from which 1994 film?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20OK, I've not actually seen the film,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22but I think it's such a famous line and I know it anyway,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24and I'll go for Pulp Fiction.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Absolutely right.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28The Travolta character, I think.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Lisa, your question. Of these three characters,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34which one has appeared in the most episodes of the TV soap EastEnders?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Oh... Now, let's see.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Phil and Grant were actually around a few years before Peggy.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45And then Grant disappeared.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48On that basis, I'm going to go for Phil.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Phil Mitchell.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Yes, that's very good, you're right.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Phil Mitchell. Judith would have known that, wouldn't she?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56- Oh, yes.- All right.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58One each. Back to you, Dean.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Who presents the Saturday-night TV quiz show Who Dares Wins?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07OK, yeah, I've seen the show quite a lot.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10We were actually talking about it just earlier on.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15So again, I know that one and I'll go for Nick Knowles.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Yes, Nick Knowles is right.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Well done, you're ahead. Lisa, your question.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Who directed the 2017 film King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword?
0:13:26 > 0:13:27I think...
0:13:29 > 0:13:32..that is Guy Ritchie's take on the legend.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Let me just have a little think before I commit to that.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Yeah, I don't think it's the other two.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39I'll go with Guy Ritchie.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Guy Ritchie is right.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Nothing to choose between these two players at the moment.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46So, Dean, your third question could be crucial.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49What is the profession of Jessica Chastain's character
0:13:49 > 0:13:52in the 2017 film Miss Sloan?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Erm... Never even heard of the film, to be honest.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I will go for...
0:14:05 > 0:14:06..an archaeologist.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Challengers? - I was thinking possibly a lobbyist,
0:14:10 > 0:14:11but I haven't seen it either.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I would have said lobbyist.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Yeah. Lobbyist is the answer, Dean.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Two out of three, might be enough to get you to Sudden Death.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Let's see, Lisa can take the round with this question.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Adeel Akhtar won the leading actor prize at the 2017 Bafta TV awards
0:14:23 > 0:14:24for his performance in which TV drama?
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Oh, I can't remember!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Something is telling me that Adeel Akhtar is quite a young fellow.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I can't remember,
0:14:42 > 0:14:46but I will go for, because it's the one leaping out at me,
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Murdered By My Father.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Let's see. Eggheads, is she right?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- I think so.- Murdered By My Father is the right answer,
0:14:52 > 0:14:53three out of three. Dean, sorry.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58That precious, expensive wrong answer has done for you,
0:14:58 > 0:14:59I'm afraid, so come back to us.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02We've got one more round to play before the final.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06As it stands, Frank's Friends have now lost two brains
0:15:06 > 0:15:08from the final round. The Eggheads have lost one.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12This is the chance to level up just before the final, and it's Geography,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14so which of Frank's Friends wants this?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18It's going to be me, I think.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22OK, Ann, would you like to take on, let's see, Kevin or Steve?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Kevin is so good, shall we try and knock another one out,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- get rid of Steve?- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Try and get rid of Steve. - Right, OK. Steve, please.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32OK, Ann from Frank's Friends taking on Steve,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34last round before the final.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Please, for the last time, go to the Question Room.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41So, Ann, you got chosen for Geography.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Yes, that's true.- Is that because of your cruises?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Could be, I've been to quite a few places.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Whether I can actually remember them all is debatable!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51So you've been on ships to the Baltic and the Canaries and so on?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Yes, and I've done the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Wonderful. And what makes you choose those particular places?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Just a matter of interest, really,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03I like to do all these adventurous things when I'm fit enough.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Who knows when I may not be?
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Good stuff. Where next?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Still thinking about it at the moment, I'm afraid.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11OK, well, winning against Steve is hopefully the answer there.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- That's true, yeah.- Good luck, Ann.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21And here we go with your first question.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Which of these cities lies on the Adriatic Sea?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I think that's Dubrovnik.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Dubrovnik is correct.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34That's one you've parked in with your cruise ship or not?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Yes, we have been. I also stayed there on land.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39OK, great. Steve.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Kowloon is a famous area in which of these cities?
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Sorry, you said Kowloon?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Yeah, K-O-W-L-O-O-N.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Yeah, it's Hong Kong, Jeremy.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It's Hong Kong. One each.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Back to you, Ann.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Munich is part of which German state?
0:16:59 > 0:17:04Right, I don't think I know.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Erm... I have been to Munich.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I'm going to go for Bavaria.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I don't think it's right, but I'll go for Bavaria.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13No, you have got it right, well done.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Oh!
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Bavaria is the right answer.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Well done, Ann. OK, Steve, to you.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Which of these countries has the largest population?
0:17:25 > 0:17:26See, the thing is here...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Cuba's obviously a large island.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Singapore's tiny, but is Singapore packed to the rafters?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36This is the thing.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I'm really torn. I don't think it's Ireland.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I mean, I might be completely off beam here,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45but I think Singapore's got a really high population density for the size
0:17:45 > 0:17:46of the country.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49So it sounds like I'm going to...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52..say Singapore, Jeremy.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Yeah, that's interesting.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Let's see the Eggheads, if they disagree.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Do you?- Yes, it's Cuba.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01You do disagree. Can you give us any numbers on this?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Well, I think Cuba is somewhere, 11, 12 million.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- OK.- Singapore would probably be somewhere around about five.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Oh, so not much more than Ireland.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Well, I may be wrong, but Ireland would be probably about 4.5.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Yeah, so Cuba is the right answer.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18All right, we've got a bit of daylight here, Ann.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Get this right, you're in the final round. It's all you have to do.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Which creature features on the national flag of Ecuador?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Well, I would discount the tortoise,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30but both the jaguar and the condor are South American.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Erm, Ecuador...
0:18:38 > 0:18:39I'm going to go for the condor.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I really don't know, but I'm going to go for the condor.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44You know it's goodbye, Steve, don't you?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I know it's goodbye.- Well done, Ann. You are in the final round.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Condor has won Ann her place in the final
0:18:49 > 0:18:51and Steve is knocked out by Cuba. Ann, well done,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55you've got it and maybe turned it around for your team.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Come back to us, both of you. We'll play the final for £8,000.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02OK, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04it is time for our final round,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06which, as always is General Knowledge,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08but I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:19:08 > 0:19:10are not allowed to take part in this round so,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Dean and Helen from Frank's Friends and also Steve and Chris
0:19:13 > 0:19:17from the Eggheads, would you please now leave the studio?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Janine, Ann and Kay, you're playing to win Frank's Friends £8,000.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Lisa, Barry and Kevin, you are playing for something that money can't buy,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29which is the Eggheads' reputation.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35They are all General Knowledge and you may confer with each other.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37So, Frank's Friends, the question is,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41can your three brains defeat these three over here?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43All right, Janine, Ann and Kay, first or second?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45We'll go first, please.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52And here we go. Which of these politicians was born first?
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Erm, I... What do you think?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Not Tim Farron, that's for sure.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02- Tim's relatively young.- Yeah.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I think it would be Jeremy.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07I'm not sure about Theresa,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10but I feel like Jeremy has been in politics for longer.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11For a lot longer, yeah.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I think they will be quite close, but, yeah.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17OK, we're going to go with Jeremy Corbyn.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19You're absolutely right, Jeremy Corbyn, born first.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23OK, Eggheads, what is the Spanish word for Wednesday?
0:20:28 > 0:20:29- Miercoles.- Miercoles.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's mercredi in French, isn't it?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Miercoles, Jueves, Viernes - Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Yeah, similar-sounding words or similarly based words in a number of
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Romance languages.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42This one would be Miercoles.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Miercoles is correct.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Challengers, which of these Shakespeare plays
0:20:47 > 0:20:50is set in and around Athens?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Well, we have to get this one right.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02Erm... I think that it is A Midsummer Night's Dream,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04cos they're all Greek names,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06the characters have got Greek names within that.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Yeah.- Any preference?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I don't know at all.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- So I'm quite happy to go with that. - I'm sure it's not
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Measure For Measure, that's for sure. So, yeah, I'll go
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- with that, yeah.- OK, we think it is A Midsummer Night's Dream.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21A Midsummer Night's Dream is your answer,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23let's see if the Eggheads know.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Eggheads?- Yes.- Yes, you're right, well done.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27As you say, there is a lot riding on that.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Eggheads, Wilhelm I served
0:21:31 > 0:21:34as the first Emperor of Germany during which century?
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- 19th.- 19th, yeah.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I'll take your word for it.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44That was... Well, Germany was unified in 1871
0:21:44 > 0:21:46and that's when he became the first emperor, 19th.
0:21:49 > 0:21:5119th is correct.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Your third question can be crucial.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54We've got £8,000 you're playing for here.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Three of you against three of them.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Very well matched here.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Get this right, that may be your work done for the day.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Here we go. Who is the subject of Picasso's portrait
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Femme Assise, Robe Bleue, which sold at auction for 45 million in 2017?
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Is this...?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- OK. - Somebody sitting in blue clothes.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24So, they're all ladies.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30One of them has got to have been his mistress, that's the answer,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- I suppose. - Unfortunately, I don't know...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- And neither do I. - ..very much about Picasso.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I wonder if it was Olga Khokhlova.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37I don't know why I think that.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Well, that's as good a one as any, Ann.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45We're going to go with Olga Khokhlova.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Olga Khokhlova...
0:22:47 > 0:22:50OK, Eggheads, do we know who Olga Khokhlova is?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- His first wife.- His first wife, so it could have been her.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54What about Francoise Gilot?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Well, these were all partners or mistresses.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Yeah, so it's harder.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01How do we choose?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Well, I think it's one... Cos he painted them all,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06so I think it's one you've either come across or you haven't.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I'm not certain, but I think it's Gilot. I think it's Francoise Gilot.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11What do you think, Lisa?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I think Kevin's usually right about these things.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Actually, on this occasion, not. Dora Maar.- Oh.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- So none of us knew.- So that's a tricky old question.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21- Yeah, yeah.- Dora Maar is the answer.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Eggheads, this for the contest.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29What is the stage name of the rapper Colson Baker?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37It's not Macklemore, that's Ben Haggerty.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Daddy Yankee rings a bell for me.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I've never heard of Machine Gun Kelly.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47Well, he is a rapper, unfortunately I've not come across that real name.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Daddy Yankee does ring a bell for me.- Does it?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52It's only a very small one, but...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Any thoughts?- I might be wrong. - No, I'm all at sea, my dear,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- I'm afraid.- Colson Baker...
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I don't recognise Colson Baker at all, I'm afraid.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05No, just now, getting nothing.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Nothing at all.- As I say, it's a very small one.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10OK, OK. We...
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Well, we're down to one inkling over here, Jeremy, I'm afraid.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17We know it's not Macklemore,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19but between the other two, not entirely sure,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22but we've got an inkling for Daddy Yankee, so we'll say that.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24You've said Daddy Yankee.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Because Barry had a glimmer or an inkling or there was one brain cell
0:24:27 > 0:24:29firing. It wasn't enough.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Machine Gun Kelly is the answer.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Oh, sorry.- That's all right, that's all right.- That's all right.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Game on, as they say.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38We go to Sudden Death, you're playing for £8,000.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42It gets a bit harder now. I don't give you alternative answers.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Here's your question. What sobriquet for Margaret Thatcher was first coined by
0:24:46 > 0:24:51Yuri Gavrilov in the Red Star newspaper in January 1976?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- The Iron Lady.- It's got to be the Iron Lady, hasn't it?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55I think it's the Iron Lady.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I don't know what else they call her.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59We're going with the Iron Lady.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00The Iron Lady is quite right.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Very good. We're back with the Eggheads now.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04If you get this wrong,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06the contenders have won their £8,000.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Michelle LaVaughan Robinson, born in Chicago in 1964,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11is now known by what name?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Mrs Obama, isn't she? - Michelle Obama.- Yeah.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17She was Michelle Robinson.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Born in Chicago in 1964? - Yes.- They just fit, don't they?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Yes, that's her. Michelle Obama. - That's... Yeah, I'm sure
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- that's right.- That's Michelle Obama.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Michelle Obama is quite right.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Sudden Death. Back to the Challengers.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Are you feeling tense? I am slightly.
0:25:30 > 0:25:37Here we go. In cooking, TVP stands for textured vegetable what?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Protein.- Protein.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40- It's protein.- Protein is right.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42It comes from soya beans.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Eggheads, again, if you get this wrong, they've won the jackpot.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51"Is it getting better or do you feel the same?"...
0:25:51 > 0:25:53..are the opening lyrics to which U2 song?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Do you know that one, gentlemen? - No.- It's all right, I'm on it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58It's One.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- OK.- Fantastic.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- One of us knew it. - Reliably informed it's One.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Suddenly Lisa plays the card from the top of the deck.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- One is right.- Well done.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09OK, so, level.
