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?
0:00:22 > 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 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34- Are you ready for action? - Definitely.- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today are the Bar Staff.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Now, this team all work together
0:00:38 > 0:00:42in the education department of a prison in the South West of England.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Viv, and I'm a hospitality lecturer.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hi, I'm Nigel, and I'm a maths lecturer.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Ian, and I'm a soap tutor.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Hi, I'm Nigel, and I'm an art tutor.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Katie, and I'm a careers adviser.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- So, Viv and team, hello. ALL:- Hello.- Great to see you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- So, you're all together in a prison, Viv?- That's right, yes.- OK.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06And you're doing education and that kind of thing?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09We all work in the education department now.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I'm a hospitality lecturer, so I do some cooking lessons
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- and food hygiene qualifications and things like that.- OK.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18We've got a variety of subjects available.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21On the basis that getting prisoners skilled up
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- so they can get jobs in the outside world?- On release, yes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- OK. So, do you quiz together? - No, we don't.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I'm probably the most regular quizzer.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- I go to a pub quiz.- Oh, do you? Well, that counts.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34But we've never quizzed together before.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36But you had a little quiz-off in the prison
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- to see who we had with us today? - Some of my colleagues -
0:01:40 > 0:01:43the other teachers - decided we wanted to do it
0:01:43 > 0:01:47so we got some quiz books and read out some questions at lunchtime
0:01:47 > 0:01:50and kept scores, and this is the result.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Brilliant.- The best of the best! - Is there a chance
0:01:53 > 0:01:56the quiz will be on in the prison and people will be cheering?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- I should imagine they will be watching it, yes.- OK.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Well, good luck, Challengers. - Thank you.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Every day, there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:02:03 > 0:02:06up for grabs for our Challengers. However, if they don't win,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Now, Bar Staff, the Eggheads are on a roll, no question.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- They've won the last ten games.- Ooh!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16So, the prize is a good one -
0:02:16 > 0:02:18£11,000. And they love it when it gets
0:02:18 > 0:02:21into five figures, so they will defend it to the utmost.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22- Won't you, Eggs?- Mm-hm.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Would you like to try and win? - Absolutely.- Yes.- Very good.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Music,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30so it's one of you, please, against either Dave,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Steve, Beth, Kevin or Judith.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Right, Music, then... Katie, I think that's you.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- That's me. - Who would you like to take on?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Dave, yeah?- Katie to take on Dave. - OK, brilliant stuff.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So, Katie from the Bar Staff taking on Dave -
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Tremendous Knowledge Dave from the Eggheads - on Music.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48He's very good on the early '80s. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51would you please take your positions in the Question Room?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So, tell us what you do in the prison first, Katie.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I am a careers adviser.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So, helping people take a step outside?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Yeah, I do an assessment and find out their learning needs
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and try and get them onto the appropriate courses for those needs
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- to help them find work when they leave.- And away from work,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11you're a massive fan of the Manic Street Preachers.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Oh, humongous fan of the Manic Street Preachers!
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Really? Have you seen them live? - Yeah, 20-plus times.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Oh, wow. OK, well, good luck. Music is your choice.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Katie, would you like to go first or second?- First, please.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Here we go, against Dave.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Which famous song ends with the following lines -
0:03:31 > 0:03:34"That stood against him Proud Edward's army
0:03:34 > 0:03:37"And sent him homeward tae think again"?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39And "tae" is spelled T-A-E.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I don't think it's The Skye Boat Song,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50and I don't think it's Scotland The Brave.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I think it's Flower Of Scotland
0:03:52 > 0:03:55because that's sung at international matches.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Very good. It is Flower Of Scotland. Well done.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Cos it would have been easy to go wrong there.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01OK, Dave, your question. Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie
0:04:01 > 0:04:04have both been members of which of these rock groups?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11A rock group with a colourful history,
0:04:11 > 0:04:13to say the least.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Fleetwood Mac.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Fleetwood Mac is quite right.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19OK, one each.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Here's your question, Katie.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23When was the singer Ellie Goulding born?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32It's not 1976. She's not older than me.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38I don't think it's 1986 either cos that would make her 30.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I think it's 1996.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- She's 1986.- Oh!- Sorry.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48OK, Dave, your question to take the lead.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51The singer Iggy Pop is most commonly associated with which band?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Three of my favourites.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I love The Cramps - Got Good Taste and all that business.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Don't think it's that.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05The Miracles with Smokey Robinson - brilliant.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10But I think he, still way into his 60s,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12jumped into the crowd with The Stooges.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15The Stooges is correct. Iggy Pop and The Stooges.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18So, that means you need to get this one right to stay in, Katie.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Under what name did the singer Bernard Jewry
0:05:21 > 0:05:26have top-ten singles in the UK during the 1970s and '80s?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29So, Jewry is J-E-W-R-Y.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Erm...
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I am taking a guess
0:05:39 > 0:05:42at Captain Sensible.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Now, he was in The Damned.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46What was his real name, Dave?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47- Ray Burns.- Ray Burns.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Meat Loaf, Dave?- Marvin Lee Aday.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Yeah, it was Alvin Stardust, Katie, who was Bernard Jewry.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56So, Katie is knocked out by our Egghead. First round only.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Dave will be in the final. Please return to us
0:05:59 > 0:06:00and we'll see what the next round holds.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Mention of Iggy Pop being in his 60s -
0:06:04 > 0:06:08he actually turned 70 in 2017.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Unbelievable.- Born in 1947.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Same year as Bowie. - Is that right?- Yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Of course, they worked together all the time.- That's right, yeah.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18As it stands, the Bar Staff have lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20No cause for panic yet, but we need to break out soon.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24The Eggheads have not lost any. The next subject is Film & TV.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28So, which of our prison staff want this?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30OK, who fancies that?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Nigel? How do you feel about Film & TV?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- I don't mind doing it. - Nigel B, our art tutor,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39against which Egghead? And it can't be Dave.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Who would you recommend?- Kevin.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44OK, I'll go for Kevin, if that's OK.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Brilliant stuff. So, Nigel B from the Bar Staff
0:06:46 > 0:06:50versus Kevin from the Eggheads. To ensure there's no conferring,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52please take your positions in our legendary Question Room.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- So, Nigel, good luck. Film & TV.- Mm-hm.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I thought you might have gone Arts & Books
0:06:58 > 0:06:59cos I know you love painting.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Well, it's a bit of a gamble, really. It'll probably come up next!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Well, yes, of course, it may not come up - that's the thing.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Do you paint yourself? - Not as much as I'd like to now,
0:07:07 > 0:07:08cos I've got small children and that,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10and when you've got children,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12you don't get time to do anything, really!
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Yes, I noticed that myself!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16And you have painted seascapes of Cornwall, particularly?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Seascapes, yeah, and I usually paint with my fingers and sticks, as well,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21which sounds quite bizarre,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24but it's quite a direct way of putting paint on.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27And also just spending a morning doing that must be really relaxing,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- as well.- Yeah, it goes on to the afternoon, evening.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31You lose track of time.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35You've also won a prize for throwing a Wellington boot at a school fete.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Yeah, I did.- Just to show we've done our research here.- Well done!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Yeah, it's all about technique, it is.- Yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Well, if you've got one with you, you can hit Kevin with it
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- if he gets too far ahead. - I've got my shoe or something.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Yeah, exactly. That's perfect! So, Film & TV, Nigel -
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- would you like to go first or second?- I'll go first, please.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Nigel, good luck getting in the final. Here we go.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00The classic film Casablanca is set during which war?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07OK. I've got it at home on DVD.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Have I watched it? No.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12It's got a few classic lines.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'm going to go World War II.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Very good. World War II is right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Brilliant film. Your question, Kevin. Natalie Portman
0:08:20 > 0:08:22received an Oscar nomination in 2017
0:08:22 > 0:08:25for her portrayal of which real-life figure?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Yes, I saw this. She played Jackie.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35She played Jackie Kennedy, and it didn't go down well
0:08:35 > 0:08:38with a lot of people, I think, who were expecting it to be about
0:08:38 > 0:08:41the assassination or her life afterwards -
0:08:41 > 0:08:44a proper biopic - whereas it's focused very closely,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46very narrowly, on just the few days
0:08:46 > 0:08:49succeeding the assassination and how she coped with that.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51But a fantastic performance.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Jackie Kennedy is the right answer.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Back to you, Nigel. What is the name of
0:08:55 > 0:08:58the seedy landlord played by Leonard Rossiter
0:08:58 > 0:09:00in the TV sitcom Rising Damp?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06OK, I think I know this one.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08He wasn't Fletcher. Wasn't Boswell.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- He was definitely Rigsby. - Yeah, Rigsby's right.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12You and I are the same age. We know that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Miss Jones!- That's right! LAUGHTER
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Kevin, to catch up, in which city
0:09:18 > 0:09:22is the 1949 film The Third Man set?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I actually made a point of seeing it when I went there.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30It's in Vienna,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34and there's a cinema on the Ringstrasse there
0:09:34 > 0:09:36which shows it regularly.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38But to see it in the place where it was filmed,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42and very recognisable locations, is great. It's Vienna.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Vienna's right. Very good.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47OK, so, over to you, Nigel, for your third question.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Who provides the voice for the title character
0:09:50 > 0:09:53in the 2017 animated film The Boss Baby?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Tricky. I haven't seen the film.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I'm tempted to go Tom Hanks.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04He's done a lot of animations, as well.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Got a very recognisable voice.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Erm, Tom...? Would it be Tom Hanks?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Yeah, I have to go with Tom Hanks.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- It's actually Alec Baldwin.- Oh, OK.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It's the kind of thing he would have done, you're right,
0:10:16 > 0:10:17but it's Alec Baldwin.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20OK, Kevin, for the round, who was the host
0:10:20 > 0:10:23of the 2017 TV BAFTA Awards?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29No, I mean, I saw who some of the main winners were,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32but I didn't see who the host was.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I'll rule out Olivia Colman on the basis that
0:10:34 > 0:10:37she's always up for every award going anyway
0:10:37 > 0:10:39because she does so much.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Why would Jennifer Saunders do it?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I mean, the one who performs hosting duties more often
0:10:44 > 0:10:47of those three, I would say, is...
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Maybe it's a trap, but I would say
0:10:48 > 0:10:52it's probably Sue Perkins, so I'll try Sue Perkins.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Let's see. Eggheads? - We like that.- Yes, they like that!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Sue Perkins is the right answer. Three out of three.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Kevin is in the final. Nigel, sorry.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I'm just hoping Arts & Books doesn't come up now...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Me too!- ..cos you'd be so cross. So, Nigel's beaten by our Egghead.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Please return to us and we'll play the third round.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11So, as it stands, the Bar Staff have lost
0:11:11 > 0:11:13two brains from the final round.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17The Eggheads have not lost any, and the next subject is History.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Viv and team, who wants History?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- OK.- This is the one we were talking about, wasn't it?
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- It was, yeah.- I don't fancy it. - You don't fancy it?- Not at all.- OK.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- I don't either. - LAUGHTER
0:11:31 > 0:11:34We do sometimes have this situation. I don't know.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Go on, Nige. - Have a go. We trust you.
0:11:36 > 0:11:42OK, Nigel, it's you. The captain has decided.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Nigel, who do you want to take on?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Or, Viv, who do you want Nigel to take on?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Let's see - Steve, Beth, Judith.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I think maybe Steve?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Yeah.- Is that OK with you?- Yeah.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54OK, Nigel from the Bar Staff taking on Steve from the Eggheads,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56known as the Man With 10,000 Books.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Well, Nigel, no easy options at this stage of the contest.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- No, you're right there.- I'm sorry,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08you're a maths lecturer and you've got History.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10HE CHUCKLES It can happen.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's not my best subject, but I'll give it a shot.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15History it is. Nigel, good luck.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Would you like to go first or second against Steve?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I'll go first, thank you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24And here's your first question.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29In 1790, which US president was nominated to choose the exact site
0:12:29 > 0:12:32of the new capital city of the United States?
0:12:37 > 0:12:43Well, we've been doing a whole lot of American president swotting up,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46and this wasn't one of the questions.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I'm going to rule out George Washington.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I'm going to go on the basis that it happened after Lincoln's time,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54so I'll go for Ulysses S Grant.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58George Washington is the answer cos the city is called Washington.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Right.- Eggheads, help us here with our dates.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I always have 1865 in my mind for Lincoln.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Is that when he died? - That's when he was assassinated.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Ulysses S Grant? - He was afterwards.- Yeah.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- He was next but one after Lincoln. - I see.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13End of the 1860s to the late 1870s.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15The sequence on the screen is actually...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- The chronological sequence, yes. - The chronology. All right.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20And you can go from the city's name, Washington,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- straight to George?- Yes. Yes.- OK.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I think it was easier than it looked, that, Nigel.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Steve, your question.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Which of these battles took place the most recently?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Well, I think you've done the chronological thing again, Jeremy.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40One succeeds the other. So, it's the Battle of the Bulge.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Yeah, Battle of the Bulge is quite right. Second World War?- Yeah.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45OK, Nigel,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48the ruler Vlad III,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51who became known as Vlad the Impaler,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54ruled Wallachia in which century?
0:13:57 > 0:14:02And Wallachia is W-A-L-L-A-C-H-I-A.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I'm just going to go on the basis that
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I don't think it would be the 19th,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12so I'm going to go for the 17th rather than the 15th.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Viv, do you know this one?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I think I'd have gone slightly earlier.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17It was a very cruel way of disposing of people.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I think I'd have gone early, to the 15th century.
0:14:20 > 0:14:2215th is the right answer.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Vlad the Impaler was the 15th century.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27So, if you get this right, Steve, you're in the final round.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30The Eighty Years' War eventually saw the Netherlands
0:14:30 > 0:14:33secure its independence from which country?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36I think that's Spain, Jeremy.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39You're straight there. Spain is the right answer.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42You're in the final, Steve. Sorry, Nigel. I know, not your subject.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Knocked out by our Egghead. Please return to us.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46We've got one more round to play before the final.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51OK, the Bar Staff have lost three brains from the final round.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53The Eggheads are still all there. They haven't lost any.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56And the last subject before the final is Science.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Oh!- Now... So, it's going to be Viv or Ian.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I think that's definitely going to be Ian.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- He likes science.- Oh, that's good.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05All right. So, it's going your way now.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09So, Ian against either Beth or Judith, one of the ladies.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Who do you think? - Maybe Judith?- Judith?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Judith.- We like science, don't we, Judith?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Yes, as long as it's flowers and animals and things.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20LAUGHTER Not the periodic table.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23And not the beastly periodic table!
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Ian's very good at the periodic table.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Well, that'll be interesting.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30OK, so, Ian from the Bar Staff to take on our Judith.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Please go to the Question Room now.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Ian, you're the only person in the UK
0:15:36 > 0:15:40who's been trained to swim using small bowls of water.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- That's correct. Yes, I am. - How does that actually work?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Well, I work with people with...
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Well, mainly adults with fear and phobia of water,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50and the last place those people want to be is in the water.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54So, the method goes back to the 1950s.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And if you fill a bowl of water
0:15:57 > 0:16:00and then have the person sat at that table...
0:16:00 > 0:16:04When you learn to swim, it's not your elbow or your leg or your back.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It's your mouth and nose
0:16:06 > 0:16:09that are the two main key elements to learn to swim.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13So, by using a bowl of water in a relaxed environment,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16you can actually get that person prepared for the water
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- without being in the water. - Brilliant.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I want to mention your soap-making, as well,
0:16:20 > 0:16:21because this is really interesting.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24With prisoners in the jail where you work,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26they will come and they will learn to make soap with you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29That's right, yes. They learn different techniques
0:16:29 > 0:16:31and I take them through a four-week course,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33and out of the end of that four-week course,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35they'll know how to make soap.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38And some of them go on and start their own soap businesses
0:16:38 > 0:16:39on the outside, which is really great.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- That sounds great, Judith, doesn't it?- Yes.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- What's the best flavour?- Oh, crikey!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47You're asking the wrong person about fragrance
0:16:47 > 0:16:49and essential oils and things like that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53My nose isn't very good. I've spent a lot of my life in water!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56So, what's your favourite flavour, Judith, of soap?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00I don't know. I like rose geranium very much.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I like chocolaty, cocoa, coconut ones.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Oh, edible ones? - Well, the ones that seem like
0:17:05 > 0:17:06they should be edible, but aren't.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Yes. So, you want to be eaten.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Yeah! Science, Ian - would you like to go first or second?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I would like to go first.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18And here we go.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22In the UK, the RSPB categorises the European robin
0:17:22 > 0:17:27or robin redbreast as belonging to which family of birds?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37I don't like the woodpeckers.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I sort of... My gut, although I don't know the answer,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43went straight to pipits and wagtails,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46so I'm going to go with my gut feeling
0:17:46 > 0:17:48and go with pipits and wagtails.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52OK. Viv has a slightly worried look here.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- Viv?- I'm not sure.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I think I'd have gone chats and thrushes,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58but no particular reason for knowing that.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Well, Judith knows all about small birds. Judith?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Well, they sing absolutely beautifully,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06so I think they're probably chats and thrushes.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Yeah, it's chats and thrushes, Ian.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Judith, your question.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Which of these is a less common name
0:18:13 > 0:18:15for the black and white North American skunk?
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Well, I think polecats stink, don't they?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26And you said it was a skunk, so I think it's a polecat.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Polecat is the correct answer.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31OK, Ian, back to you. In which year
0:18:31 > 0:18:34did the Apollo 12 space mission land on the moon?
0:18:40 > 0:18:45I think it's going to be the same year as Apollo 11.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48That was July.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50They go again in the same year.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I don't think they would have waited until '72.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I'm going to go for 1969.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Let's check with the Eggheads here. Eggheads, is he right? ALL:- Yes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Yes, and, Eggheads, is the Apollo 12...?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Is that the one with Armstrong and Co?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- No, that was 11.- That was 11, but it was the same year?- Yeah.
0:19:08 > 0:19:111969 is correct, Ian. Well done.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Judith, your question.
0:19:13 > 0:19:19Which scientist did the physicist Mileva Maric marry in 1903?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Well, not Pierre Curie cos that was Marie Curie.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I don't know whether Albert Einstein was married or not.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I really don't know. I'm going to say Thomas Edison.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I suspect that the issue here is that Mileva Maric
0:19:40 > 0:19:43is a Russian-sounding name and Einstein was...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Was that where Einstein was before he went to America?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48No, he was German in origin,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50and then he lived in Switzerland for quite some time
0:19:50 > 0:19:53before he went to the States.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58But she was from, as you guessed from the name, Eastern Europe.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59But it is him - it is Einstein.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03And there are some people who claim that
0:20:03 > 0:20:06she did a lot of work that fed into
0:20:06 > 0:20:09what he did, but that's very controversial.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Albert Einstein is the answer here, Judith.- Oh.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I thought he looked as if he was the sort of person
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- who might not be married. - LAUGHTER
0:20:16 > 0:20:18And what do they look like, Judith?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Well, I mean, he looks like a mad scientist, doesn't he?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23He's everybody's idea of a mad scientist.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I see what you mean. All right, one each.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27This is good, Ian. You're back in it.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Here's your question. The chemist Joseph Black
0:20:29 > 0:20:33isolated and identified which gas as fixed air?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Can you repeat the question, please?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45The chemist Joseph Black isolated and identified
0:20:45 > 0:20:47which gas as fixed air?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I'm going to go for...
0:20:50 > 0:20:52..carbon monoxide.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55The correct answer is carbon dioxide.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Judith, you have a chance
0:20:56 > 0:20:58to take the Science round with your third question.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02What is the literal meaning of the name of the Psittacosaurus dinosaur
0:21:02 > 0:21:03when translated from the Greek?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- And could you spell it?- Of course.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13P-S-I-T-T-A-C-O-S-A-U-R-U-S.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I think that is a parrot lizard
0:21:16 > 0:21:20because a parrot disease is called psittacosis, so...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23And that's to do with parrots, so I think it's a parrot lizard.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26With your knowledge of parrot diseases, you've won through.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29You are in the final. Parrot lizard is the right answer.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Sorry, Ian. They are playing well.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Not just today, but all the time at the moment.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34You've been beaten by our Egghead.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37If you return to us, we'll play the final round for £11,000.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Well, we had the first mention, I think,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42in the history of Eggheads of, Judith,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- what you called a parrot illness. - Yeah.- BOTH:- Psittacosis.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46And, Beth, it's not just parrots?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50No, it's pigeons, as well, and birds like that.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52It causes like a pneumonial-type disease.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55There we go. So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56It is time for the final round,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01But I'm afraid those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:01 > 0:22:03won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06So, it's the two Nigels and it's Ian and Katie
0:22:06 > 0:22:08from the great Bar Staff.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Viv, you are playing to win the Bar Staff £11,000.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17They're all rooting for you back there, aren't you?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- ALL:- Yes!- Dave, Steve, Beth, Kevin, Judith,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24which is to keep this amazing run of yours going.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29They're all General Knowledge.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Viv, normally, I say you can confer, but, sadly, you're on your own!
0:22:32 > 0:22:35No question that you can do it. Take down these five.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Would you like to go first or second?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I think I'll go second.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Here we go. The first question, then, to the Eggheads.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47In which year was the actor Will Ferrell born?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I would have thought '67.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Yeah, he's not as old as 60, is he?- Not as old as '57.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57A bit older than me.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00He's not as old as 60, and he's not as young as 40.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- No.- I would have said '67.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I would have thought he was around about...
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I would have thought '67 is probably the best.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10He's only really been on the scene...
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- What does he look?- Around about 50. - 50. So, that's '67.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- DAVE:- Go with '67.- OK. - JUDITH:- He's 50.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16So, process of elimination,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20we don't think he's as old as being in his 60s,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23and we don't think he's as young as him being in his 40s,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25so that would bring him to 1967.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- 1967 is correct.- Well done.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Challenger, Gordon Brown
0:23:30 > 0:23:33and which other politician held an infamous dinner meeting
0:23:33 > 0:23:37at a London restaurant called Granita in 1994?
0:23:40 > 0:23:45Right. So, Gordon Brown was Labour.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50I do vaguely remember reading something about that in the paper.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54So, I think I'm going to go...
0:23:55 > 0:23:56..Tony Blair.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Tony Blair is absolutely right.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00The next question is for the Eggheads.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04In 1535, who became the first person to translate
0:24:04 > 0:24:06and print the entire Bible in English?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Was it Coverdale?- It's Coverdale.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- Coverdale is the famous name there. - Yeah. Is it Coverdale?
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- I've not heard the other names. Have you, Kevin?- Not really, no.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I mean, I think John Overall rings a bell from somewhere,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- but they're not...- No.- Nothing like as well-known as Miles Coverdale.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- I thought it was Coverdale. - And Coverdale certainly did...
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- He did the translation. - He did this translation, yes.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- I mean, I'd be quite happy with that.- Yeah.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35We believe the translator is Miles Coverdale.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Miles Coverdale is correct. Good answer, and they're ahead.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Viv, here's your question.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43The journalist Lester Bangs
0:24:43 > 0:24:46was best known for his writings on which subject?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Could you just repeat the name for me, please?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54The journalist Lester Bangs -
0:24:54 > 0:24:55B-A-N-G-S -
0:24:55 > 0:24:58was best known for his writings on which subject?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I'm not familiar with that name.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05So, it sounds like quite an arty-type name.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It's probably not a real name. I'm not sure.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Think I will go with rock music.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16I haven't heard this name before and I love rock music.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Is it rock music?- Yes, it is. - Is it? Where was he writing for?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Rolling Stone, that sort of thing. - Oh, I see.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Lester Bangs, rock music is the right answer.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Well done, Viv. Very steady.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Eggheads,
0:25:28 > 0:25:33there are approximately how many licensed black cabs in London?
0:25:37 > 0:25:43- Right, it's not 210,000, is it?- No, it can't be that many.- Right. Now...
0:25:43 > 0:25:482,100... Because, I think, in Manchester, it's about 1,500.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- Is it?- Yeah, around that.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Black cabs for covering a city that's a lot less.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- It's less than you think. - Are we going with the middle?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- I'm inclined... - I'm inclined for the middle.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I'm inclined to go middle because, as I said, 2,100 is
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- low to cover... - Doesn't seem many at all, does it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Black cab there... - 2,100 isn't enough.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- 2,100 all over London?- Not enough.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- You see them all over the place. - Yeah.- It's a turkey shoot,
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- but I'd go 21,000. - Right, 21,000?- Same.- Same?
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Yeah, I think, really, if you go higher than that...
0:26:22 > 0:26:26I think it's... I think, you know, 21 sounds good.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- 21. Judith? - Yes, I think 21, too.- OK.
0:26:28 > 0:26:34Right. We don't think that 2,100 is enough for the whole of London.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37But, equally, we think
0:26:37 > 0:26:41210,000 is far too many, so we think 21,000.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I remember, about 20 years ago, seeing an article saying
0:26:43 > 0:26:45that there were 16,000, so there's more now.
0:26:45 > 0:26:4721,000 is right. Well done.
0:26:47 > 0:26:5021,000. They've got three out of three.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Would have been nice if they'd got one wrong,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54but they're not in that kind of form at the moment.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56So, Viv, your third question.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Chapman Pincher, who died in 2014 at the age of 100,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02was a renowned figure in which field?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Well, I'm not familiar with the name.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Chapman Pincher.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13I really don't know.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18So, I think I'm going to do a Judith and go down the right
0:27:18 > 0:27:20and say Egyptology.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Egyptology is your answer. So, we're playing for £11,000.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25If you've got this right, we will go to Sudden Death.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28If you've got it wrong, the contest is over.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31He is familiar to me and I've got some sort of security services
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- connection with him. Is that right?- Yes.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Why is that? - He exposed some spy things.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- I think he wrote about...- Espionage. - Espionage. So, what was his field?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Journalism. - Journalism is the answer, Viv.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I'm sorry, we have to say congratulations, Eggheads.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You have won.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Good defence, Viv. One against five - very difficult.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57- I did my best.- Yeah, I hope you enjoyed coming.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- I did. We've enjoyed it. Thank you.- Brilliant.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Well, commiserations to the Bar Staff.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them at the moment.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08And they've got this winning streak going, and it is impressive,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10so it means the Challengers don't go home with the £11,000.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13We'll roll that money over to our next show.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Eggheads, five of you,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I'm just wondering if you will ever lose a round again.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers
0:28:19 > 0:28:24have the brains to take them down. There'll be 12,000 to play for.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Until we quiz again, goodbye.
