0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Welcome to Eggheads,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26the 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 > 0:00:33Are you going to dig deep today, Eggs?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Definitely.- Definitely.- Excellent.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Now if you'd like to work on a question from the Eggheads while you
0:00:38 > 0:00:40watch at home, Beth, you have one for us?
0:00:40 > 0:00:41I do.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44What are the six countries that have a top-level Internet domain
0:00:44 > 0:00:47code starting with the letter D?
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I see. So .D something?
0:00:50 > 0:00:54OK. We'll find that the answer from Beth at the end of the show.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Now, hoping to get one over on our quiz champions today
0:00:56 > 0:00:58are the Tinpot Miners.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01The majority of this team study mining engineering
0:01:01 > 0:01:04at the University of Exeter's Penryn campus
0:01:04 > 0:01:08and quiz together regularly at Seaview Inn in Falmouth.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Let's meet them.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Hi, I'm Lewis and I'm a student of mining engineering.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Hi, I'm Alex, I'm also a student of mining engineering.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Hi, I'm Anthony, I'm a mining engineering graduate.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Hi, I'm Elliott and I'm studying business.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Hi, I'm Nick and I'm studying economics.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25So Lewis and team, hello.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- ALL:- Hello.- So this is all about Falmouth.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29You are based down there, are you, Lewis?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Yeah, we are.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33We are based in Falmouth on the Penryn campus of Exeter.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Very beautiful there, isn't it? - It's lovely being down there, yeah.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38The sea is brilliant, in the summer especially.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah. Do you do some surfing and stuff?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I said I would when I went down there, but I didn't get to do it in the three years.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46But, yeah, maybe if I go down there again, I think I will.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51So you are graduates or students of mining, the first three of you?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Yes, that's right. - Hence the team name.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Yeah.- Does that mean you are aiming at careers in mining?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00We hope so, yeah. I think, us three are, definitely.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Yeah. The two on the end, are you interested in mining at all?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Not really.- Not really? - Not really, if I'm honest.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- You're just friends?- We're just friends with them, yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10So you quiz together, or separately?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Yeah, we don't quiz with Elliott and Nick, but
0:02:14 > 0:02:18we quiz with... Well, I quiz with Anthony and Alex
0:02:18 > 0:02:20as well at the Seaview Inn.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21It's called Quiz Go.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25It's like a combination of a quiz and bingo, which is... Yeah.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26It's really good fun.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Right, have any of you done that, you Eggs, Quiz Go?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- No.- No. Quiz Went?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Not at all. So that's good. They are drawing a blank on that.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35That's a good start for us.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38We should introduce a mining round, shouldn't we, to make it fair?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- It all comes in Science, doesn't it? - It comes in Science.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Well, we'll see. Good luck Challengers.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our challenging team.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50If they fail to defeat the Eggheads, that prize money rolls over,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54as you know. Tinpot Miners, the Eggheads are storming at the moment.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56They have won the last 11 games.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I don't know if that's good or bad.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Slight pressure.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01It's pressure, but the jackpot is £12,000,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04that's the good thing. So it's worth being here.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Shall we have a go?- Let's do it. Definitely, yeah.- Let's do it.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of History.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So it's one of you, please, against either Dave, Pat, Beth,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Kevin or Judith.- Nick, I think.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- I'll take this one. - Who do you want to play?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19OK, Nick.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Would you like to play...
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Shall we go with...
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Dave, maybe?- Dave?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26- Shall we take on Dave.- Yeah.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Very good. Nick from the Tinpot Miners taking on Dave from the Eggheads.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Not quite mining.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34It doesn't matter for you, because you're not a miner.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36To ensure there is no conferring,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42History, Nick, do you want to go first or second?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49OK, good luck against Dave.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Here we go. According to the popular but possibly untrue legend,
0:03:52 > 0:03:57for whom did Sir Walter Raleigh lay down his cloak so that she would not
0:03:57 > 0:03:59have to step into a muddy puddle?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I'm pretty confident that I know this one.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I know Walter Raleigh was around at the time of Elizabeth I,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13so that's my answer.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Elizabeth I is right.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Dave, your question.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20In 64 AD, during the reign of the Emperor Nero,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23what disaster befell the city of Rome?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I believe he fiddled while Rome burned,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31so I'll have to go a huge fire.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32A huge fire is right.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Eggheads, is that true, that myth,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36legend of fiddling while Rome burns?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Urban legend, probably.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Probably not true?- No.- He probably didn't play the fiddle?
0:04:40 > 0:04:41He probably didn't, no.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44He wouldn't have been called a fiddler at the time anyway,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- so it was just, yeah... - Yeah, OK.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48So, back to you, Nick.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Approximately how many Allied troops were evacuated from Dunkirk between
0:04:52 > 0:04:55May 26th and June 4th 1940?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02OK.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Not too sure specifically here.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08So I think I'm going to have to go for,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12er, 340,000.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Yes, you're right. Well done.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16340,000 is correct.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17A big evacuation.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Dave, in 1978, which man became the first non-Italian Pope
0:05:22 > 0:05:27of the Roman Catholic Church for 455 years?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Jorge Bergoglio was Francis,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39from Argentina.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43So it's not him. Joseph Ratzinger, I think, was Benedict XVI
0:05:43 > 0:05:45from Germany. No.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Um, I think it's Karol Jozef Wojtyla,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51John Paul II. 1978.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Brilliant, Dave. Good quizzing.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Mr Wojtyla is the right answer.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58OK, Nick, your question.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Which 66-year-old holy Roman Emperor died
0:06:01 > 0:06:04whilst crossing a river in Anatolia in 1190,
0:06:04 > 0:06:08whilst travelling to the Holy Land to take part in a crusade?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14OK.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Charlemagne is the only Roman emperor I have heard of there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I'm pretty sure he was the first.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24In which case I think I'll stick with my guns
0:06:24 > 0:06:26and go with Charlemagne.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Dave, what do you think, is he right?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I think it's Leopold I, myself.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Eggheads?- Barbarossa. - It's the other one.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35The other one is Barbarossa. Frederick I of Barbarossa.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Dave, you can take the round with this.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42In 1861, who became the first prime minister of an united Italy?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Right, that's a tough question.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Um...
0:06:52 > 0:06:56I have not heard of any of those names in terms of the unification of
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Italy. All I was thinking of was Garibaldi.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01And maybe even Cavour coming in.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03But I've not heard of any of these.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I've not heard of him, but Camillo Benso is my guess.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Let's have a look. Kevin?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Yeah, that's good, actually, because Dave mentioned Cavour.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17And he is normally known as Cavour, which was his title.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Ah.- He was the Count of Cavour.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22But his family name was Camillo Benso.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Well, you mentioned Cavour, and actually that's the same guy.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Is it?!- It's because of the family name, yeah.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29So Camillo Benso is absolutely right, well done.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Very good. Three out of three. You can see how good these Eggheads are.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Nick, you played well, but you got beaten I'm afraid and you won't be in the final round.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Come back to us, please, gentlemen. We'll play on.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Right, the Tinpot Miners have lost one brain from the final round.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47The Eggheads are still over there with their mining implements,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50digging away. And the next subject for you, Arts & Books.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52CHALLENGERS GROAN
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Not good.- Not what we wanted.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Is this me?- I think it is you.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Take one for the team. - All right, OK.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Who would you like to go for?
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Team captain, who am I picking?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Um, would you like to take on Pat?
0:08:04 > 0:08:05- Yeah.- Go on.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Pat, I think.- OK.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Anthony from the Tinpot Miners taking on Pat from the Eggheads.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Please go to the Question Room now.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Anthony, you were born in Johannesburg?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Yeah, that's right. - So you came to the UK to study?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I moved here when I was five with my little brother.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26My parents decided the education would be better over here.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28You are also one of the Tinpot Miners?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Yeah, that's true.- With the intention of what of doing
0:08:30 > 0:08:33mining in South Africa, or Europe, where?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I'm really not sure at this point.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I thought I would do a Masters, but I would have to find a job at the end of that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40So I decided I would just dive in right now.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42What kind of mining would it be - gold mining?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Oh, specific. But I suppose I could get into that.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Yeah. Or coal, does it not matter?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- At this point, not really. I'm just trying to see where I can land, really.- OK.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Any suggestions, Pat?- Just keep digging until you find something.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Yeah, very sensible.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58He is wise, isn't he? He is very wise, Anthony, isn't he?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Oh, yes. That's why he won £1 million on Millionaire.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04OK, Arts & Books, would you like to go first or second?
0:09:04 > 0:09:05I'd like to go first, please.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11All right, I sensed it wasn't necessarily anybody's first choice,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14this subject. So good luck, Anthony.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Thank you.- Jane is the first name of which of these fictional characters?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I have a feeling that it's Miss Trunchbull,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29purely because I saw Matilda recently.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31So I'm going to go for that one.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Miss Trunchbull. There's a strange correlation between the
0:09:33 > 0:09:35first and the second answer.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I think... Was she Agatha Trunchbull?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Yes. That's right.- Have I totally misremembered that?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- No, you are right, yeah. - And of course Miss Marple
0:09:43 > 0:09:45is Agatha Christie's creation, and she was Jane Marple.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Goodness me.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Pat, your question.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52With which genre of literature is the author, Alistair MacLean,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54most closely associated?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I think he wrote things like Ice Station Zebra.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I think the things he wrote were thrillers.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09They were, indeed, thrillers.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11OK, Anthony, back to you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Which character from a play is secretly in love
0:10:14 > 0:10:16with a character named Roxanne?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I know the film.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I think Baz Luhrmann did a remake of it and I've forgotten it.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27But I feel like it's Cyrano de Bergerac.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Cyrano de Bergerac is the right answer.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Well done. With that French actor, who was that?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Depardieu.- Gerard. - Gerard Depardieu, that's right.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38OK. Pat, your question.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41"This was the most unkindest cut of all",
0:10:41 > 0:10:44is a famous line from which of Shakespeare's plays?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I think this is one of those occasions when we should not
0:10:51 > 0:10:53go for Hamlet.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58I think it relates to the assassination of Julius Caesar.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03It might actually relate to Brutus' contribution to the assault.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I don't think it's Much Ado About Nothing, which is a comedy.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09And I think for once it's not Hamlet.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11So I'm going for Julius Caesar.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Julius Caesar is correct.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And was it part of the famous funeral speech then?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20It may be by Mark Anthony to the killing of Caesar.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23OK, we go back to you, Anthony.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Which poet famously wrote,
0:11:25 > 0:11:29"Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind"?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31And you need to get this right.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I'm going to have to take a complete stab in the dark
0:11:37 > 0:11:39and go for William Wordsworth.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Any of your team know?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Not a clue.- I think I would have went with that.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I mean, he's the most well-known.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- He's the only one I recognise.- Yeah. - Definitely poets, all of them.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51John Donne is the answer.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Anthony, sorry. Pat's won through and will be in the final as well.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57And the Eggheads are in good shape here, so Challengers,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00round three is the time to come back.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03So we had John Donne there.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06"Any man death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind".
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Where is that from?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11That is from a poem called No Man is an Island Entire of Itself.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13And that's as far as I can get!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15JEREMY CHUCKLES
0:12:15 > 0:12:16And when was he writing, John Donne?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Late 16th, early 17th century.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Metaphysical poet, is that what they call him?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- What does that mean?- Dealing with the realm of the spiritual.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26So beyond physics, beyond the physical world.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I think he was the Dean of St Paul's, or something like that.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Was he?- Wasn't he?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- He was Dean of St Paul's. - Yes, he was Dean of St Paul's.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35OK, as it stands the Tinpot Miners have lost two brains
0:12:35 > 0:12:38from the final round. What do we do now?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39What's the thought?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Try and win a category! - Try and win something.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43A good round now, definitely.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46A good round now would be very useful indeed.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The subject is Music, gentlemen.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I think you can out class them on lots of music, I think.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53It's not ideal, but...
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- We'll have to give it a go, I think.- Yeah.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Are you going to go for it?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59I will.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- OK, it's going to be Alex. - And who do you want to take on?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04We could just carry on down the line I mean, I don't think...!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Beth? Yeah?- Yeah, go for it.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- I'll take on Beth.- OK, so you're making progress from Dave...
0:13:11 > 0:13:12I see the logic. This is brilliant.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14No-one's ever done this before!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Alex from the Tinpot Miners taking on Beth from the Eggheads on Music.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Please go to the Question Room now.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24You were a runner, Alex, or you are a runner?
0:13:24 > 0:13:29Well, now and again back a few years ago, when I used to play football.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Yeah, I had a bit of a good time on the wing
0:13:32 > 0:13:34when I used to be quick, before university.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36You then ran for Wales, did you?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Yeah. Under 17s.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Basically the chairman thought I was quick on the wing,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44and he just sort of said, there's a bit of a spare seat,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46really, or run, and that's how it happened, really.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47What distance were you running then?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- It was the 200, it was. - At what sort of level?
0:13:50 > 0:13:55It was UK-based - Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Terrific. And so did you stop that at some point, or what?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Not really. I mean, I wasn't really a sprinter as such.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03The chairman saw there was a spare space,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05and he thought it would probably be a good idea, so I had a go.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07OK, well good luck racing Beth here.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09It's Music. Would you like to go first or second, Alex?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I'll go first, please.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Here we go. Which song begins with these lines,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19"Look into my eyes, you will see what you mean to me.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22"Search your heart, search your soul,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25"and when you find me there you'll search no more"?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Can you repeat the first, please?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Which song begins with these lines, "Look into my eyes, you will see,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39"what you mean to me, search your heart, search your soul,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42"and when you find me there, you'll search no more."
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I just, yeah, I had to re-...
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Get it through my ears. I think that is Bryan Adams.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49(Everything I Do) I Do It For You.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Yes, it is, well done.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53(Everything I Do) I Do It For You.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56OK, Beth. Which of these albums was released first?
0:15:03 > 0:15:08Back to Black was sort of, mid-2000s,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Parklife was mid-1990s,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Brothers In Arms was probably early '80s,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17but it's definitely Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Brothers in Arms is quite right, Beth.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Second question to you Alex.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23The word skirl,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25S-K-I-R-L,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28refers to the sound made by which musical instrument?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I don't know I understand what a zither is.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Oh, skirl, skirl...
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I will have to have a guess on this one.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I'll go for bagpipes.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46The bagpipes is right. Well done.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Got any Scots on this side?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52No. No, we haven't.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Beth, who found fame as the lead singer in the band The Cure?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03They're all frontmen of bands.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Jimmy Somerville was The Communards,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11the lead singer of The Cure was Robert Smith.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Yeah, Robert Smith, obviously.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Not remembering Feargal Sharkey's band is quite serious.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Feargal Sharkey was the lead singer of The Undertones.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- The Undertones! That's right. - Yeah, that's quite a major thing.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I remember him as a solo artist.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- What can I say?- Yeah, that's even more unfortunate.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Tragic, I know.- Robert Smith is the right answer, there.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30You've got your point. Well done. OK.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Alex, according to musical legend,
0:16:33 > 0:16:37the young Mozart risked excommunication by writing down from memory
0:16:37 > 0:16:41which piece of music after hearing it performed at the Vatican?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'll have a bit of a think.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51I'm not sure.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56But something tells me maybe Handel,
0:16:56 > 0:17:00so I'll go for Messiah by Handel.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02OK, Beth. Can you help us with the dates, or the logic here?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Oh, the dates I can't help you with.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06But I can help you with the right answer.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Go on.- Which unfortunately is not Messiah, it's Miserere by Allegri.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Miserere by Allegri.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Anyone help us out with the other two after Mozart or,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18is it possible that he could've written one of those down or what?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- No, well, he could because they both precede...- Right.- ..Mozart.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24So, yeah, it's possible that he could've done either, yeah.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Yeah, it could've been any of them, Alex.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29None of them were after Mozart.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Miserere by Allegri, as Beth says, is the right answer.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33That's a shame.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Yeah, because it lets Beth in now with the third question.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38So Beth, you can get your place in the final with this.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41To Those Who Pass The Borough,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43and What Harbour Shelters Peace
0:17:43 > 0:17:46are songs from which opera by Benjamin Britten?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Can I have the names of the songs again, please?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Yeah, there's two of them. To Those Who Pass The Borough
0:17:54 > 0:17:57and What Harbour Shelters Peace. What Harbour Shelters Peace.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Songs from which opera by Benjamin Britten?
0:18:01 > 0:18:07I'm not a fan of English composers at all.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'm going to go with the one that I've...
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I've not performed any of them
0:18:15 > 0:18:21and I'm more oratorio singing than opera singer.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I'm going to go with Peter Grimes.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26- Eggheads, do we like that?- Yes.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Yes.- Yes, we do. Peter Grimes is right.- Lucky me!- Well done.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Three out of three.- So sorry, Alex.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Alex, knocked out by our Egghead.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Another Egghead in the final round.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37So we've got one more round to play before the final.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Please return to us and we'll do just that.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44As it stands, the Tinpot Miners have lost three brains from the final
0:18:44 > 0:18:45round. The Eggheads have not lost any,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and have had a number of games where they've been playing really
0:18:48 > 0:18:51strongly, haven't they? And the next subject is Sport.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Yes!- Is that good?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- At last.- We think so.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Yeah.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- This is Elliott for this one. - Elliott, our business student.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Yes.- Which Egghead would you like to take on?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'm guessing it's Kevin cos you're going one at a time.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I'll carry on the pattern. See if we can take Kevin out before the final.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Yeah, well, he has to be faced at some point for sure.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14So, Elliott, from the Tinpot Miners, taking on the Ironman,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16from the Eggheads.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18That's Robert Downey Junior.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19To ensure there is no conferring,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22for the last time please go to our famous Question Room.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Right, Elliott, good luck to you.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- You're studying business? - Yeah, I am, yeah.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Where are you studying at? - Down in Bath, nice place.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32OK, and based in London, normally?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Yeah, doing a bit of work in London at the moment but originally from Hertfordshire.- What's your...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Is your aim to be a miner as well or...- It's not.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I think we'll leave that to the guys, the three of them.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I don't want to go down a hole for the rest of my life.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- OK. Good luck here. - Thank you.- Sport it is.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Against Kevin. Let's see if you can pitch him out.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- That would be really, really handy. - OK.- First or second?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I'll go first, please.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57And here we are with your question, Elliott.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01In which year was the boxer Anthony Joshua born?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Well, I'm 21.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12And, I doubt he would be...
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Would he be only 23?
0:20:14 > 0:20:18How much older than me?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'm going to go with 1989.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Yeah, well done. 1989.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Brilliant boxer.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Did you see that bout, Kevin, between Joshua and Klitschko?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- I saw some of it, I didn't see the whole thing.- One of the best ever.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32It was up and down, and you couldn't tell who was going to win.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- Yeah.- A bit like Eggheads, most days.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- Yes, exactly, yeah.- All right.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Your question. In the men's version of which sport are there two teams
0:20:40 > 0:20:42made up of ten people on each side
0:20:42 > 0:20:46and the match divided into four periods of 20 minutes each?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51So ten, ten men per side?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Ten men per side, and the match divided into four periods
0:20:55 > 0:20:56of 20 minutes.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58That would be lacrosse.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Lacrosse is quite right. Elliott, your question.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Which football club came second behind Chelsea
0:21:04 > 0:21:08in 2016/2017 English Premier League season?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14That's easy, that's my club, Tottenham Hotspur.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I promise we didn't ask you that deliberately.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- OK.- Tottenham Hotspur is the right answer.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21As a Chelsea fan, I feel your pain.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Really sorry about it. - I'd say thanks, but...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Yeah.- As we always say, it's happened again.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Kevin. Harold Larwood was a major
0:21:29 > 0:21:31name in which sport in the 1930s?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37He was a fearsome bowler in cricket.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Cricket is correct.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- So nothing to choose between you so far. Two points each.- OK.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Elliott, how many Olympic medals did Steve Ovett at win in his career?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I'm not entirely sure.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57So I'm going for the middle ground and go for four.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Four is your answer, then. He is a contemporary of Sebastian Coe.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Dave?- I think it's two, I think he just won two in 1980.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I think he won the gold in the 800 metres,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10which he wasn't expected to win.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14And bronze in the 1,500 metres, which he was expected to win.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18And that he qualified in '84 for the 1,500 metres
0:22:18 > 0:22:22but collapsed with dehydration,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26didn't make the podium whereas Coe defended his title.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Very good, Dave. The answer, Elliott, is two, I'm afraid.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32OK, Kevin. Your question to take the round.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Tim Visser and Richie Gray,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37have played international rugby union for which team?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Kevin, for the final place...
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- What was the first name? - Tim Visser.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45So that's V-I-S-S-E-R.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Yeah, and Richie Gray
0:22:46 > 0:22:49International rugby union for which team?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I might be going wrong here, but I believe that's Scotland.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58If you've got this right, you're in the final.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00And it's a clean sweep by the Eggs.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02The answer is Scotland. Well done, Kevin.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Sorry, Elliott, knocked out there on Sport.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08As a Spurs fan, I know that's hard to take.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09It is. Again.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Please, return to your teams, we'll play the final round for £12,000.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21It's time for the final round, which as always is General Knowledge.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24But I'm afraid that those of you who've lost your head to heads,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26won't be allowed to take part in this round.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28All from the Challengers' side, I'm afraid.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Alex, Anthony, Elliott and Nick from that Tinpot Miners,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34would you please now leave the studio?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Lewis, you're playing to win the Tinpot Miners £12,000
0:23:39 > 0:23:41and it can be done. Dave, Pat, Beth, Kevin, Judith,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44you're playing for something that money can't buy,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47which is to keep this storming run the Eggheads are on, going.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49And you're playing for the shirt.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52As usual, I'll ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54They're all General Knowledge, Lewis.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Normally, I would say you can confer but it's tricky with your friends back there.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01But now we see whether you with you one mining brain
0:24:01 > 0:24:04can take down the deep-sea divers of the Eggheads.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Let's see, would you like to go first or second?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08I'll go first, please.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Good luck, very tense here with £12,000 to play for.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18What is the name of the highest point in the Peak District?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25OK, so...
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Ben Macdui that implies more Scotland
0:24:29 > 0:24:31with the Ben in front.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I think, anyway.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Kinder Scout, I've never heard of.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40But then, Scafell Pike - is that in the Peak District?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46It's a tough start.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'll...
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I'll go with Scafell Pike.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Scafell Pike is your answer.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Let's check, where is Scafell Pike, Eggheads?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Lake District.- Lake District. - It is the Lake District.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57- It's a high place.- Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01It's Kinder Scout in the Peak District.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03OK.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Eggheads, The Real Slim Shady is a song by which rapper?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Eminem, Judith.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15OK, that is Eminem, I'm told.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17You knew that?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19No, I didn't.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Eminem is the right answer.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22So they're ahead
0:25:22 > 0:25:24but you can pull back now.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30Which actress first found fame as Allison MacKenzie in the American soap opera Peyton Place?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I can't gauge how old that would be.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41I don't know, maybe Meryl Streep, is...
0:25:41 > 0:25:43..slightly. Well, I can gauge how old she is.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Um...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I've not heard of Mia Farrow.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I don't know if I should've or not.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Diane Keaton I've have heard of.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Usually when I'm watching this, it's normally the one that
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I don't think it is, is normally the right answer.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02And that would lead me towards Mia Farrow.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07But...for some reason I'm going to go with Diane Keaton.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- It's Mia Farrow.- Oh!
0:26:12 > 0:26:14You used the brilliant logic
0:26:14 > 0:26:16that you think it's Diane Keaton but that's probably going to be wrong,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19so you'll go for the one you don't think it is,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21which is Mia Farrow which would've been right but then you went back
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- to Diane Keaton.- Yeah.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- I felt your pain. - It always works, as well.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- You're right, it does always work. - Yeah.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31OK, Eggheads. You can take the contest with this question.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33In the 2016 presidential election,
0:26:33 > 0:26:38it was announced that Hillary Clinton had been diagnosed with which medical condition?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- She had pneumonia. - Pneumonia.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Yeah.- I think pneumonia, yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Yeah, pneumonia. - Pneumonia, yeah.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50She had pneumonia.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52If this is pneumonia,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56you've taken the contest cos there's no way back for our Challenger.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58If not, we play on.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59The correct answer is pneumonia.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02We say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04APPLAUSE
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Commiserations, Lewis.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I should've gone second there, I think.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- It's always the case, though. - I'm sure you would've got, well...
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- I guess these, you will have know your Scafell Pike, as well.- Yeah.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- I'm sorry about that. It's really hard when you're on your own. - It is, yeah.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- I was begging for a mining question to come up there.- I was.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23I don't know think I would have got it right.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27We needed gold, we needed silver, we would've settled for anything - tin, copper, anything.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30So sorry, the Eggheads, I almost feel like I'm apologising for them now.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33They've done what comes increasingly naturally to them.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34This winning streak continues.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37And it does mean that the Challengers don't go home with the £12,000.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41So the money rolls over to our next show, no easy way to say it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Eggheads, congratulations.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Who will beat you? Five again.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Honestly, what are you eating for breakfast?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Oh, before we go, Beth, you had a question.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54I did. I asked you what the six countries that had the top-level Internet domain codes
0:27:54 > 0:27:55starting with the letter D.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57They are, let's start with the easy ones,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59.DE is Germany,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02.DK is Denmark,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04.DJ Djibouti...
0:28:04 > 0:28:06- Oh!- And then we go.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09.DM, Dominica,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12.DO Dominican Republic,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14and the one that people might not have thought of is
0:28:14 > 0:28:17.DZ which is Algeria.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20That's a very, very good question.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21I hope you got that at home.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have the brains to unseat them.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28£13,000 says they won't do it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Until then, goodbye.
