0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They are the Eggheads. Feeling colourful today?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- Yes.- All right! If you would like to work on a question from the Eggheads
0:00:36 > 0:00:39while you watch at home, Dave, you've got one for us now.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Yes, I have.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Question is - what unusual fact links the Oscar-winning acting
0:00:44 > 0:00:50performances of Jane Wyman, John Mills and Holly Hunter?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- The Oscar-winning performances?- Yes.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56All right. Dave's going to give us the answer at the end of the show.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Taking on the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:00:58 > 0:01:00are the Clarets and Blues from Lancashire.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03This team have managed to remain lifelong friends
0:01:03 > 0:01:06despite support for local rival football teams -
0:01:06 > 0:01:10the claret of Burnley and the blue of Blackburn. Let's meet them.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Hi. I'm Craig, and I'm a retired management consultant.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Hi. I'm Gemma, and I'm a college lecturer.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Hi. I'm Jerry, and I'm a business proprietor.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hi. I'm George. I'm a retired GP.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hi. I'm Phil, and I'm an international sales manager.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- So, Craig and team, hello. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And Clarets and Blues, let's just go through it, then, Craig.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31The clarets are...?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33The clarets are Burnley, and they're at that end.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Yes. I was going to say, as you said that,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- you looked a little bit queasy. - Yeah!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I've had quite a number of years where Blackburn were the top team,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42and Burnley were the ones that we could abuse,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- if that's the right way of putting it.- Yes.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Now they're getting their own back. - OK.- I've got to just take it.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Good luck, Challengers.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Every day, there is £1,000-worth of cash up for grabs,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53but if the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56the prize money rolls over to the next show, as you know.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00So, Clarets and Blues, the Eggheads have won the last nine games,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03so there's £10,000 to win.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06They get very upset if the £10,000 is suddenly seized
0:02:06 > 0:02:07and they have to start again,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10so there's a lot riding on this. Would you like to try?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- We will.- Yes, please.- Brilliant.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Film and TV,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16so one of you, please, against
0:02:16 > 0:02:19either Dave, Lisa, Steve, Kevin or Judith.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Are we still going with what we said before?- Yeah.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Our expert?- Fabulous.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Gemma's going to be the one that's going for it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31OK. Our college lecturer to take on which Egghead?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33You've got the pick of the bunch here.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Oh, heck.- I'm tempted to go for Kevin, actually. Go on.- Yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Get him out of the way.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Not an easy one.- OK.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Gemma from the Clarets and Blues versus Kevin from the Eggheads,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and to ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49would you please take your positions in our legendary question room?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52OK, Gemma. Film and TV against Kevin.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Would you like to go first or second?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Can I go first, please?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01You can indeed. Good luck getting Kevin out. Here we go.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06The film Bonnie And Clyde, starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway,
0:03:06 > 0:03:07was released in which year?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, this was a little bit before my time, I think,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18but I'm going to say that it definitely wasn't 1987.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20That's far too late.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21I probably would have watched that
0:03:21 > 0:03:25because it is something that's quite iconic.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I think 1947 might be a little bit too early,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32so I think I'm going to go 1967.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Well done, Gemma. Very good. '67. Well done.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40OK, Kevin. The TV soap Emmerdale is set in which part of the UK?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Yeah. It's meant to be a very dangerous village in Yorkshire.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Yorkshire.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51There aren't many of them. Yorkshire's right.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Gemma, your question.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56What is the name of the character played by James Gandolfini
0:03:56 > 0:03:59in the TV drama series The Sopranos?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I'm not 100% sure.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I've not really heard of anybody who's there apart from Tony,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10so I think I'm just going to have to go Tony Soprano, unfortunately.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14That's really good quizzing, cos you're right.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16OK. Kevin.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Who played the role of the Dude in the Coen brothers' film,
0:04:19 > 0:04:20The Big Lebowski?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Yes, it's a cult film, The Big Lebowski.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I have to admit it's not something I've ever... I thought it was fine,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33but it's not something I've ever really quite got.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38But, anyway, the one there who was in that was Jeff Bridges.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Jeff Bridges is right. I'm the same as you - watched it,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- never quite understood the total appeal of it.- Yeah.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45OK, Gemma, you're playing well.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Here we go. In which Oscar-winning film does a character named
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Terence Fletcher say,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54"There are no two words in the English language more harmful
0:04:54 > 0:04:56"than 'good job'"?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I've not seen La La Land yet.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Again, I think I'm going to have to go for a guess,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11and I think I'm going to have to say Whiplash.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12But I'm not 100% sure.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Let's see if we can work this out.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I don't think there was a Terence Fletcher in La La Land.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Birdman...
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Could have been, but the answer is Whiplash.- Oh!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27All it is is because he's quite cruel,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- if it's the...- The teacher. - ..the teacher.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32So if he's saying, "Don't praise anybody.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35"Keep going, keep going until you get perfection,"
0:05:35 > 0:05:39that's the kind of quote he would have come out with.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40All right. Kevin.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Who is the creator and writer of the TV comedy series Twenty Twelve
0:05:44 > 0:05:45and W1A?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I should know that, but I don't.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Armando Ianucci was The Thick Of It and...
0:06:00 > 0:06:05It's the sort of satire that he would do.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Was it him, though?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I don't know. I don't know.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I'm going to have to guess and I'll...
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I'll assume that it's not him doing everything. I'll try...
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I'll say Arthur Matthews, but I've got no confidence at all.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Yeah. It's absolutely Armando Ianucci's kind of thing.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- It's not him. - Ah.- And it's not Arthur Matthews.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- It's John Morton.- 50-50.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Isn't that funny, Kevin?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Your strike rate with 50-50 is about one in ten.- Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- For whatever reason.- I don't know. - There we are.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- So, Gemma, how about that? - Thank you.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41You're in the final round, with three out of three.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43You've done exactly the right strategy.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47You went straight for Kevin, took him off balance, and he's gone.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50So come back, both of you, and we'll play round two.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54A great start for our Challengers, with £10,000 to win today.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58The Clarets and Blues have not lost any brains from the final.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59The Eggheads have lost Kevin.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01The next subject is Politics.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Who would like Politics? - Are we still where we said?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05- Yeah.- I think that's me, Jeremy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07OK.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's Phil, our sales manager, against which Egghead?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Can't obviously be Kevin.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I'd like to take on Tremendous Knowledge Dave, please.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Oh, yeah.- All right. Never easy, but worth trying.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Phil from the Clarets and Blues
0:07:19 > 0:07:22versus the all-red Dave. Yeah?
0:07:22 > 0:07:23If we're doing football?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Yes, absolutely.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26To ensure there's no conferring,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29would you please take your positions in the question room?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Phil, good luck against Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Would you like to go first or second?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35I'd like to go first, please.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44Here we go. Where was the Lib Dem politician Tim Farron born in 1970?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'm pretty sure he's a good Lancashire lad,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54and, curiously enough, he's also a Blackburn Rovers fan.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57So my answer would be Preston.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Can you tell from his accent?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- He's got that kind of...- Yes, he has.- Preston, Lancashire's right.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06OK, Dave. Who defeated both John McCain and Mitt Romney
0:08:06 > 0:08:09in US Presidential elections?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I don't think it's George W Bush.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I don't think it's Clinton.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22McCain got beaten in 2008,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25and Romney in 2012
0:08:25 > 0:08:27by Barack Obama.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Barack Obama is quite right, yes.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32And back to you, Phil.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Which of these was the nickname for the Conservative MP Norman Tebbit?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I think Tarzan was Michael Heseltine.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46And I'm not sure about Two Brains.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50But I think Norman Tebbit was the Chingford Skinhead.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- That's right.- OK!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Chingford... Cos I think his constituency was Chingford,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57which then went to Iain Duncan Smith.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Chingford Skinhead is right.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Dave, we go to you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Which of these countries achieved independence from the UK first?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Right, Jamaica's 1962.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13India was 1947.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16And that leaves Australia.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Australia's my answer.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Australia is right.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Two-two. And we go back to you, Phil.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It's a good round.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25What did the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev famously use
0:09:25 > 0:09:29to bang on the table of the UN General Assembly in 1960?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I'm not sure banging with his hat would have made that much noise.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Um...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40My inkling is that it's possibly his shoe.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I'll go for his shoe.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Yes, it is his shoe. Very famous moment, I think.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Was it Macmillan who said, "Can we have that in translation?"
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I think. OK, three out of three.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Our Challengers have not got a question wrong yet.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Let's see, Dave, if you can stay in.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Who became the Labour Party's first Cabinet Minister
0:09:58 > 0:10:01when he joined the 1915 coalition government?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Right, it's too early for Gaitskell.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13I can't remember Keir Hardie serving in a coalition.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I thought Arthur Henderson was later.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's going to be a bad one, this.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Henderson. Arthur Henderson.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Is the right answer. Three out of three.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Arthur Henderson. So three questions each. The scores are level.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28We go to sudden death. It gets a bit harder, Phil.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I don't give you alternative answers. A really good round.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Which tiny Pacific island joined the UN in 1999
0:10:35 > 0:10:39as the world's smallest independent republic?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Going off its name, I would say Micronesia.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44No, it's Nauru.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Ah!- N-A-U-R-U.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50So, Dave, you have a chance to take it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53In which decade did Alain Juppe first become
0:10:53 > 0:10:54prime minister of France?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58I'm going to go that he was in Jacques Chirac's cabinet,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01and say the 1990s.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Kevin?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I think... I mean, Juppe is now in his 70s,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09and I think he actually became prime minister
0:11:09 > 0:11:12when he was quite a bit younger. I would say the '80s.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yeah. Well, Dave is right. 1990.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- OK.- It was 1995, bang in the middle, under President Chirac.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Absolutely right, Dave.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22So you were knocked out, Phil. Phil, sorry!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Well done, mate.- You played so well.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Another great round.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27What a contest today.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Please return to us. We'll play round three.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32So, Dave has struck back.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36The Clarets and Blues have lost a brain now from the final round.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40The Eggheads have lost one as well. This is a very tight contest,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42and the next subject for you is Food and Drink.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Who would like this?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45I'll take Food and Drink.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Do you not mind?- I've eaten a lot!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50And you brew your own beer!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Because it was going to be Gemma.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I know.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- George?- Yeah.- OK, our retired GP.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00So it's Lisa or Steve or Judith?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Lisa, please.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Brilliant.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06George from the Clarets and Blues to take on Lisa.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08An unusual outing on Food and Drink.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Food and Drink and, George, you can choose
0:12:13 > 0:12:16whether you go first or second against Lisa.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17I'll go first, please.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25George, which Italian soup takes its name from the ragged-looking
0:12:25 > 0:12:27egg strands running through it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Oh, now...
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I don't really know.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Because it's near, I'd say stracciatella.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Yes, you're absolutely right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44It just sounds, doesn't it, like ragged-looking egg strands.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Stracciatella is right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Lisa, just your third Food and Drink round in the history of Eggheads.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Wow.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Flower of Rajya is a cheese made in Nepal, Lisa,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56using milk from which creature?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yeah. I mean, you know, if you were in Nepal,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04you've probably got all of those at your disposal,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06but why would you bother milking a dog for it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I'm reminded of Red Dwarf, where he goes,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12"I've used up all the supplies and we're on the dog's milk now."
0:13:12 > 0:13:14I'll go for yak.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Yak is right. 1-1.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Back to our Challenger.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21Tej, a honey wine or mead, is considered to be the national
0:13:21 > 0:13:23drink of which of these African countries?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I've never heard of tej, so...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I think, because it's such a short word,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I'll go for Morocco.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36I would be tempted by that,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39but it's wrong. It's Ethiopia.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41OK, Lisa.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44What is the name of the traditional Alaskan Inuit dish
0:13:44 > 0:13:47made by wrapping the head of a salmon in grass
0:13:47 > 0:13:50and burying it for several weeks?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53I don't know.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57I suppose all of them are sort of plausible.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I sort of like stinkhead
0:14:00 > 0:14:04but would you really call something stinkhead?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Um...
0:14:06 > 0:14:09On the basis that there are countries who consider
0:14:09 > 0:14:12eating mould a delicacy,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I will go for mouldhead.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Mouldhead. Now, I can see Steve looks like he knows this.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I don't know it at all!
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I just thought it seemed logical - you're burying a fish's head
0:14:22 > 0:14:24for a period of time, it's going to stink.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Yeah. Well, it would have mould as well, then.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27- Oh, yeah.- And fungus.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30And fungus. We think there's mould and fungus and...
0:14:30 > 0:14:32But the answer is stinkhead.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35That is a quality name, though, isn't it?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It's going against your first instincts.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- One of the all time great Eggheads questions.- Yeah, awesome.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42OK. Stinkhead is the answer.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44So you're still level.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48George, which fruit is traditionally found inside a Sussex pond pudding?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I've never heard of a Sussex pond pudding.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I wouldn't have thought there was much lemon in.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02I'll go for pear.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It is actually lemon.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05- Ah.- I'm sorry to say.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09So Lisa has the chance to take only her third Food and Drink round
0:15:09 > 0:15:11if we can put the stinkhead behind us.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16In which country are hot and cold appetisers known as zakuski,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18often served before a meal?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23It sounds like it should be Russian,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and the Russians are very big on their appetisers.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Um...
0:15:27 > 0:15:32Like the Scandinavians, they often do sort of herring-based things
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and caviar and the like.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Maybe Turkey's an outside bet,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38but I think I will go for Russia.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40OK. Russia is your answer.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43If you've got this right, you're in the final round.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Zakuski is hot and cold appetisers in Russia.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well done, Lisa. You've got it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Sorry, George. Knocked out by our Egghead there,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54although she nearly went down with a stinkhead.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56As a result, George is not in the final and Lisa is.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Return to us. We've got one more round to play before the final.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Well, the Clarets and Blues have lost two brains now
0:16:03 > 0:16:05from the final round. The Eggheads have lost the one,
0:16:05 > 0:16:06but it is Kevin.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09The next subject is Geography.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Which one of you wants this?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- That is yours.- This is Jerry's.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Jerry?- OK. Yes. - OK, business proprietor.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Who do you want to go against, Jerry?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21It can be Judith, near me, or Steve, in the middle?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I'll go for Steve, please.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Right. So, Jerry from the Clarets and Blues
0:16:25 > 0:16:29taking on Steve from the Eggheads in the last round before the final.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Please take your positions.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Could be a turning point in the game, this.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Geography, Jerry. Would you like to go first or second?
0:16:36 > 0:16:37I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Here we go with your first question.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Which mountains separate the Indian subcontinent
0:16:45 > 0:16:46from the Tibetan Plateau?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I think it's the biggest one of the lot, the Himalayas.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Yes, it is the Himalayas. Well done.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Steve,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Benbecula and Eriskay are islands belonging to
0:16:59 > 0:17:02which of the four countries of the UK?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Sound very Scottish, Jeremy.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09So Scotland is my answer.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Yeah. Benbecula, Eriskay, Scotland. Correct.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15OK, Jerry.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18The sisserou, or imperial parrot,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20features on which country's flag?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26I think, of the three countries that are there,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28the one that's most likely to have a parrot
0:17:28 > 0:17:30would be...
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Not Japan.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I think I would go for Domenica.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38That's the correct answer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40OK, Steve, your question.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43The triangular Istrian Peninsula,
0:17:43 > 0:17:48shared primarily by Croatia and Slovenia, extends into which sea?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53You did say Croatia and Slovenia?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Yes, shared primarily by Croatia and Slovenia.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57That's the Adriatic.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It is the Adriatic. Well done.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00So you are level after two questions.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Jerry, the third, as we know, could be crucial.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Toompea Castle is located in which European city?
0:18:07 > 0:18:11It's T-O-O-M-P-E-A.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18As far as I can see, I think that would be any of those three,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21quite easily, as far as my knowledge is concerned,
0:18:21 > 0:18:26and the actual name of the place still doesn't give me a clue at all.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27So it would have to be a guess.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I'll go middle for diddle and I'll go for Tallinn.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Tallinn is right.- Well done, Jerry.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Any way of getting there through the words?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Maybe. Estonia is sort of...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42When you go to Estonia, all the signs are in Estonian
0:18:42 > 0:18:44and then Finnish and then English.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- Yeah.- So it sounds vaguely Finnish with the way the vowels are put,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- so maybe... - OK. A little bit Finnish.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54OK. Steve, your question to stay in.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Which of these countries has an exclave on Lake Lugano
0:18:58 > 0:19:01within the borders of Switzerland?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I'm not entirely sure.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10But I am drawn towards one,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12which is probably going to be the wrong one.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I'll say Italy, Jeremy.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Yes, it's right. Three out of three for you both.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21We go to sudden death again, Jerry.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I don't give you alternatives, so it's a bit harder.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Spike Island,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28which was once at the centre of the British chemical industry
0:19:28 > 0:19:33and which was the venue for a famous concert by the Stone Roses in 1990,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35is located in which English county?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39To go for the chemical industry slant,
0:19:39 > 0:19:44I think that would lead me towards Ellesmere Port, maybe, in Cheshire.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Cheshire's right.- Well done!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Steve, to stay in, substantial stretches of beach
0:19:50 > 0:19:54and cliff along the shoreline of Cardigan Bay in Wales
0:19:54 > 0:19:56form parts of two national parks,
0:19:56 > 0:20:00the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and which other?
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Brecon Beacons.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03No, Steve, Snowdonia.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Oh!- You've been knocked out.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07So you've levelled it up, Jerry. Well done.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Our Eggheads snatched at it slightly there.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Let's see, if the Eggheads play like that in the final,
0:20:14 > 0:20:15you're going to win £10,000.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Return to us, please, and we'll play the final round.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21This is what we've been playing towards.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It's time for our final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads aren't
0:20:27 > 0:20:29allowed to take part in this round.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31So that's George and Phil, a claret and a blue,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34and also Steve and Kevin from the Eggheads.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Would you please now leave the studio?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Look at this. Craig, Gemma and Jerry, here you are,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43playing to win the Clarets and Blues £10,000.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Dave, Lisa and Judith, you're fighting a rear-guard action
0:20:47 > 0:20:49to defend the Eggheads' reputation
0:20:49 > 0:20:50and keep this run going.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56They're all general knowledge, and you can of course confer.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58So, Clarets and Blues, the question is -
0:20:58 > 0:21:02can your three brains take down these three over here?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04And would you like to go first or second?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I think we'd like to go first, Jeremy.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Craig and team, you've been brilliant so far.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Now you need to win the jackpot.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15The British author Martina Cole is best known for writing
0:21:15 > 0:21:17novels in which genre?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- I don't know.- Science fiction? - What were you going to say?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Martina Cole sounds like a crime writer.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Do you think?- It does.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I'm trying to visualise the front cover of the book.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33That's what I'm trying to do.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Picture the front cover. - Not science fiction?- No.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Somebody called Martina Cole doesn't write science fiction.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40They don't, do they?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Crime or romance.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43I'd lean away from romance,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45and I think Martina Cole is a serious name,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47and a serious name writes crime.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- OK.- I think.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51We're not sure between crime and romance,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53so the best guess I think we're going to be able to make
0:21:53 > 0:21:56is that Jerry thinks that,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58with a name like Martina Cole,
0:21:58 > 0:22:00it's somebody who ought to write crime.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03So our answer's going to be crime novels.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06OK. I did read one of her books about ten years ago,
0:22:06 > 0:22:07and there was a murder in it,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09so you're absolutely right!
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Crime it is.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Eggheads, your question to catch up.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Which British pop group's chart-topping albums
0:22:16 > 0:22:19include Progress and III?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- I thought it was Take That.- It is Take That.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Progress was one of their comeback albums,
0:22:27 > 0:22:28and III was after Jason Orange left
0:22:28 > 0:22:30and they were down to, funnily enough, three.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- That's fine.- Take That.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Take That?- Yeah.- It's Take That.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Take That is right.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Challengers,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Liam Heath won a gold medal and a silver medal
0:22:40 > 0:22:43in which sport at the 2016 Olympic Games?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- My first guess is... What?- Canoeing.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Yeah.- Really?- Yes, cos he wasn't one of the boxers.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Oh, right.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55I don't think he was.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- OK. We did well in the canoeing, didn't we?- Yes.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- And we didn't win much in the diving.- No.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Boxing?- It wasn't boxing.- No.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Shall we go for that?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Yeah.- We're not totally sure
0:23:07 > 0:23:10but we think, because we all seem to be agreeing,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13that it's definitely not boxing,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17we don't think we did brilliantly well in the diving,
0:23:17 > 0:23:18so we think he was...
0:23:18 > 0:23:20We're going for canoeing.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Canoeing is correct.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Two out of two. You are good quizzers.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Eggheads, which British physicist was the recipient of a letter
0:23:28 > 0:23:32from Isaac Newton that contained the line,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34"If I have seen further, it is
0:23:34 > 0:23:36"by standing on the shoulders of giants"?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Right.- It ain't Rutherford.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- No, it's not. - Hooke is 1600 something.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47He's around that area.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Rutherford is 20th century.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Galton...- Galton is 19th century.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53So I think we've got to go Hooke.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- I think it's Hooke.- OK.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57And I'm happy with that.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- Yeah, go on. - Are you happy with that?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Yeah, yeah.- Yeah. - OK. We think that's Robert Hooke.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Yes, you've got it right. Well done. Robert Hooke.- Well done, Judith.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Here's your third question.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Get this right and we go back to them, and if they get it wrong,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12you've won £10,000. It really is as simple as that.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15The village of Baginton is home to an airport serving
0:24:15 > 0:24:17which UK city?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Not Manchester.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24I don't think it's Norwich.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Baginton, if there is such a thing,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- sounds more like a Coventry type area name.- Yeah.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- And Norwich would have a different type of name.- Yeah.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Yeah.- OK.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38OK, Manchester is our local airport.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41That's not Baginton,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43and I've been through it that many times,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I think I might remember that,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47so I hope I'm right on that one.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49We're not sure... We don't think it's Norwich
0:24:49 > 0:24:51because we've flown into there as well,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53so we're going to go for Coventry,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56cos Baginton sounds like it ought to be Midlands.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Coventry is the right answer.- Yes!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01All right, you've got three out of three.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04We couldn't ask for more. You played brilliantly. £10,000 jackpot.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Here are the Eggheads. Two impressive players removed.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Three of them left.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12You've got to get this right to stay in it, Eggheads,
0:25:12 > 0:25:13otherwise they win.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18In 2016, who became the first US author
0:25:18 > 0:25:20to win the Man Booker prize?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- ALL: Paul Beatty. - We're happy with that?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29It's Paul Beatty.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Paul Beatty is the right answer.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36We go to sudden death in the final round. Clarets and Blues,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39which French artist and writer directed the films
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Le Sang D'un Poete, or The Blood Of A Poet,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47in 1930 and Orphee in 1950?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51And just so we're clear, Orphee is O-R-P-H-E-E,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and the O is a capital letter.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54You know what? I've no idea.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I don't know any French.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01And I can't even drag an artist or an author from France in 1930.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I don't think I can come up with a guess.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Who was around in that...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I can only think of Toulouse-Lautrec, which isn't...
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- That was before, though.- Yeah. - That's turn of the century.- Yeah.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Moliere's a long way back, isn't he?- Yeah.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15That's before that.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- I can't think of anybody.- I can't.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Mid-20th-century French... There's just nothing there.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- It won't come.- I know none.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- I couldn't even guess.- No.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27We really can't drag it up.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28So...
0:26:28 > 0:26:31THEY LAUGH
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Jerry wants to say Toulouse-Lautrec but we know we're wrong.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36But we've got to say something. We just can't think of the right name.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- Eggheads?- Jean Cocteau? - Jean Cocteau is the answer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43That gives the Eggheads a way of ending the contest with this
0:26:43 > 0:26:45sudden death question. Eggheads, here we go.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Admirers and followers of which artist and writer born in 1757
0:26:49 > 0:26:53formed themselves into a group called
0:26:53 > 0:26:55the Ancients in the 1820s and 1830s?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58You don't think it's William Blake?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I don't know. It could be Blake.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Could be Blake. What about Ruskin?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I think he's a bit later.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07OK.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Blake. Blake fits the bill.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13It's just that the Ancients... I don't know.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Um...
0:27:14 > 0:27:16If you think Blake...
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I just can't think of anybody else, now I've thought of it.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20No, neither can I,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23and I perfectly prepared to go with what you said, Judith.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- I'm happy to go with that. - So, you know.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29We've got rather stuck on one artist and writer.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31And it's my fault.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32We're going to say William Blake.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Shall we just check with Kevin back there?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Kevin?- That's right. It's Blake.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Oh! - William Blake is the correct answer.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Well done, Judith, a multi-millionaire...
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Well...- No, one million only. - One million, sorry.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55All hail Queen Judith of Egghead-land.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Queen Judith, who won the first million on
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? comes up with the golden answer there.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It does mean the Challengers don't go home with the £10,000 jackpot,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05so we roll it over to the next show.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Sorry, Challengers, because you were one of our best teams.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Congratulations, Eggheads. Before we go, Dave, that question.
0:28:12 > 0:28:18Yes. I asked what unusual fact connects the Oscar-winning
0:28:18 > 0:28:23acting performances of Jane Wyman, John Mills and Holly Hunter?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26And Jane Wyman in Johnny Belinda,
0:28:26 > 0:28:27John Mills in Ryan's Daughter
0:28:27 > 0:28:30and Holly Hunter in The Piano
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- didn't speak a word of dialogue throughout the film.- Right.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Gosh. Wouldn't have thought of that.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Did you get that at home?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains
0:28:40 > 0:28:43to defeat the Eggheads. There'll be £11,000 to play for.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45This jackpot keeps on going up and up.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Until then, goodbye.
