0:00:04 > 0:00:07These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Together they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz Challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:30pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32They are the Eggheads.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Strolling along, Eggs?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35- Oh, well...- No, not really.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37We had a bit of a problem in the last game.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Anyway, before we get to that,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42if you would like to work on a question from the Eggheads
0:00:42 > 0:00:44while you watch at home, Barry, you've got one?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I have indeed. And my question is this:
0:00:47 > 0:00:52which group of composers can be represented by the mnemonic Mr BBC?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Mr BBC. We'll think about that.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57We'll find out the answer from Barry at the end of the show.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Challenging the might of our quiz goliaths today
0:01:00 > 0:01:02are Things Are Looking Dicey from Edinburgh.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Now, this team met while studying for their PhDs
0:01:05 > 0:01:10and they quiz together weekly at the Tolbooth Tavern in the city's beautiful Old Town.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Let's meet them.- Hi, I'm Luke and I'm doing a PhD in cancer research.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Hi, I'm David and I'm a trainee radiologist.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Hi, I'm Lucy and I'm a postdoctoral researcher.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hi, I'm Ross and I do a PhD in immunology.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Hi, I'm Ollie and I work in biotechnology.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29So, Luke and team, hello.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- ALL:- Hello.- Great to see you, what brings you together, Luke, then?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37So, we all met whilst we were doing our various PhDs in the city
0:01:37 > 0:01:40of Edinburgh, and we sort of became friends,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42and then we started quizzing at the Tolbooth Tavern,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44and we do it on a weekly basis.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Brilliant, well that's perfect.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49So, you've got a kind of medical background, a lot of you, haven't you?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51We've got cancer research, radiology, postdoctoral...
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- What's your postdoctoral research in?- Cancer research, the same as Luke.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57OK, I though you were going to say English literature for a second.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- No, sadly not! - LAUGHTER
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Immunology, biotechnology.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04This... If science doesn't come up, what are we going to do?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Yeah, we've hopefully got...- You've got sport and you've got some other things?
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Yeah, a few other things we might be OK in.- All right, and when you quiz together you do all subjects anyway?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Yes, we do.- Tell us about the Tolbooth, cos I love that part of Edinburgh.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Oh, it's a lovely little pub right at the bottom end of the Royal Mile,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and, yeah, we go there every week on a Sunday evening.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25And we... To moderate success, I would say.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28We don't win every week but we've won a few.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Brilliant. OK, well good luck, guys.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39So, things are looking dicey.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43I don't even know what to say about the last game the Eggheads were on, it's best forgotten.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45The Challengers won it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47And at least that proves it can be done.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50It does mean the jackpot for you is £1,000, if you can repeat their
0:02:50 > 0:02:52feat of winning. Would you like to try?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- ALL:- Yes. Definitely.- OK, the first head-to-head battle
0:02:54 > 0:02:57is on the subject of Film and TV.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00So, it's one of you, please, against either Dave, Beth,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Barry, Pat, or Chris.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Ollie, do you want to go up for this?- Yeah.- Who do you want to take on?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Ollie, OK.- I think Beth.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07- You want to take on Beth?- Yeah.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- OK.- Perfect. Good stuff.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Ollie from Things Are Looking Dicey takes on Beth from the Eggheads.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Eggheads trying to get back on their feet here.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15To ensure there's no conferring,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19would you please take your positions in our legendary Question Room?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23So, Ollie, you work in biotechnology?
0:03:23 > 0:03:29Yes, I did my PhD in immunology and then I got a job
0:03:29 > 0:03:32as the UK sales manager for a biotechnology company.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34There's a lot of -ologies here.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35A lot of -ologies, yes.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Yeah, do we have any -ologies?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- You have an -ology, don't you, Beth?- I've got several -ologies.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- What's yours, is it microbiology? - Microbiology and applied biology,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47and in my applied biology I did immunology, endocrinology, toxicology...
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Oh, and some more -ologies. Physiology.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54You've chosen well. Beth has some -ologies, too.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Would you like to go first or second on Film and TV?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57I'd like to go first, please.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03OK, let the quiz begin. Good luck, Challengers.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Which of these is a famous quote from the TV series The A-Team?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Um, so, I don't know the quote in the middle.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Or, well, I know the quote on the right, "Don't make me angry..."
0:04:18 > 0:04:20"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
0:04:20 > 0:04:22That's from The Incredible Hulk.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I know that it's said by the leader of the A-Team.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's, "I love it when a plan comes together."
0:04:28 > 0:04:30"I love it when a plan comes together" is absolutely right.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Well done. "Who loves ya, baby?" is Kojak, by the way.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36But that's way before your time, Ollie.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38OK, Beth.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Which long-running TV drama series was set on the Chatsworth estate in Manchester?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Not something I actually watched...
0:04:51 > 0:04:54..but I think this was Shameless.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Shameless is right, and it is an amazing series, that.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00OK, Ollie.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Mahershala Ali won an Oscar in 2017 for his role in which film?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Um, well, I haven't actually gotten around to watching
0:05:12 > 0:05:18any of those movies. I know it's not La La Land because, like,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are in that.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23And Nocturnal Animals, I haven't actually...
0:05:23 > 0:05:24I haven't seen that movie.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm going to go for Moonlight.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Well done. Two out of two.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Moonlight is correct.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Beth, back to you.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35The drama series Stranger Things is set in which decade?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oh, right amount...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42The children in this are roughly about the same age I was
0:05:42 > 0:05:45at the time, and it's the 1980s.
0:05:45 > 0:05:481980s is right, Beth. So you're absolutely level.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- This is exciting, isn't it, Challengers?- Yes, very exciting.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- He's doing very well.- Let's see... Yeah, you're doing well, Ollie.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Here's your third question.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58What is the first film to be written and directed by the Coen brothers?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Ooh, well, I...
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I know their later movies.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Uh, I have not seen any of these movies.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I can't even align these to the Coen brothers.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19So, I am going to take a guess with something
0:06:19 > 0:06:22that just jumped out at me.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I'm going to say Miller's Crossing.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Miller's Crossing. Let us check this with the Eggheads.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Eggs? Do we know... Are they all Coen brothers films?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- They're all Coen brothers. - Right, they all are.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- So, it's not easy.- I think I have a feeling it's Blood Simple.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Yeah, always dangerous to disagree with Pat.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Blood Simple, Pat says,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41and he's right. I'm afraid Miller's Crossing is wrong.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43OK, Beth.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45For the round, who provides the voice for the title character
0:06:45 > 0:06:49in the 2017 film The Lego Batman Movie?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Oh, he does a fantastic take on Batman.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00It's such a... I've not seen The Lego Batman movie,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03but I've seen The Lego Movie, which he's also in. Um, and...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- GRAVELLY VOICE:- "I'm Batman,"
0:07:05 > 0:07:08is kind of his impression, and I'm pretty sure that's Will Arnett.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Will Arnett is right.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Beth, she's got three out of three.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Sorry, Ollo... Ology, I nearly called you!
0:07:13 > 0:07:14LAUGHTER
0:07:16 > 0:07:18We've had a win for the other -ology here.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Well done, Beth, you're through to the final.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Sorry, Ollie, beaten by our Egghead
0:07:22 > 0:07:24and so you won't be in the final round.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Please come back. We'll play on.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29So, as it stands, Things Are Looking Dicey -
0:07:29 > 0:07:32have lost a brain from the final round.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36The Eggheads have still not lost one, and the next subject is Music.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Who would like Music?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Um...- I have to leave this one to... - Do you want to take this?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Is it going to be me? - Do you want to take this, Lucy?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Ross, how do you feel about it, or...?- I'm awful at music.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Right, then, I think that decides it!- It's me then.- Go on, Lucy.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Lucy, against anyone but Beth.- Um...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Chris or Pat, I think.- Chris or Pat? - Yeah, I think so.- Choice is yours.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Who do you feel?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I'll take on Pat, please.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Good, so, Lucy from Things Are Looking Dicey
0:08:03 > 0:08:05versus Pat from the Eggheads on Music.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Please take your positions.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11So, Lucy, I know music is in your life cos you're an Irish dancer.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Yes, I Irish danced from when I was four years old until I was 18.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Stopped when I went to university,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22but since moving to Edinburgh I've joined a dance school there
0:08:22 > 0:08:26and I actually have started my Irish dance teaching qualifications.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Got the first half of those last month.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32So, next year, hopefully, I will be a qualified Irish dance teacher.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35What a thing! That's brilliant. Have you ever tried that, Pat?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- No, no, I haven't. - LAUGHTER
0:08:38 > 0:08:40What a loss to the world that is.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Well, only that you've got Irish heritage and all that.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- I thought it might be the sort of thing that was compulsory.- No, no.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- I've never done it.- OK.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Well, good luck. Maybe you can give Pat a lesson later.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Or maybe this round will be a lesson for Pat, Lucy, who knows?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Hopefully!- OK, so, Music.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59First, please.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05And here we go with your first question. Good luck, Lucy.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Which type of singing is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as a song
0:09:10 > 0:09:14for men's voices in three or more parts, usually unaccompanied?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Jumping out at me is aria.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25So, I'm going to go for that, but I'm not 100% sure.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26I think this is actually quite hard.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Challengers, what do you think? Is she right?- I honestly don't know.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- I thought aria was like a piece of the music?- I thought oratorio
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- might be the one, but...- Yeah, we are all over the place here. Barry?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37- It's a glee.- A glee?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- An aria is for a solo voice. - An aria is for a solo voice.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43And an oratorio come before a whole company.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44So, Lucy, the answer is glee.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47But if it's any comfort, it stumped a lot of us in here.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- OK.- Pat, your question.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Which of these Robbie Williams singles was released first?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Pretty sure Candy is the most recent of those.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I think they're actually pretty much arranged
0:10:01 > 0:10:03in chronological sequence.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I think Angels was a very early mega-hit ballad.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12And it's very much associated with Robbie Williams,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14so I'm going for Angels.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Angels is right.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Back to you, Lucy.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20What is the title of Harry Styles' debut solo album,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23released in 2017?
0:10:25 > 0:10:26LAUGHTER
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I quite enjoyed reading that!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Well, um, not a massive One Direction...
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Well, more of a One Direction fan than a Harry Styles fan.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm going to take a punt that he just named it
0:10:36 > 0:10:40all the way after himself and say Harry Styles.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I think, looking at this, it is a very hard question, actually.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I think it looks easy, and it's not,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47but you've got it right. Well done.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well done, Lucy.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Here's your question, Pat.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Which of these operas is set near to Seville in Spain?
0:10:57 > 0:11:02Well, Seville is a fairly popular location for operas,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04probably the most popular.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Madam Butterfly, I think, is set in Nagasaki, in Japan.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10And the Flying Dutchman is off the coast of...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Well, it's in the Atlantic.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17So, of those three, the one set in Seville is The Marriage Of Figaro.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20The Marriage Of Figaro was indeed set in Seville.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23So, he's ahead, Lucy.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- You need to get this one right to stay in.- OK.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Which song begins with the lines, "Load up on guns,"
0:11:29 > 0:11:32"bring your friends, it's fun to lose and to pretend."
0:11:32 > 0:11:37"She's overboard, self-assured, oh, no, I know a dirty word."
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Paradise City is the one that I think...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I don't think it's Smells Like Teen Spirit.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I can't remember how Stairway To Heaven goes.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59So, I'm going to go Paradise City by Guns N' Roses.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02It's not Stairway To Heaven. It's actually not Paradise City, in fact.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It is Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Although I couldn't quite place those lines.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Pat, well done. You're in the final.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Lucy, sorry, beaten by our Egghead.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Challengers having a rough time here, but you can come back,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15no question.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Please come back to us and we'll play round three.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21So, as it stands, Things Are Looking Dicey have lost two brains
0:12:21 > 0:12:23from the final round.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The Eggheads have not lost any so far,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28and your next subject is Food and Drink.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Who would like this? Ross?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Ross?- Do you think it's my turn to go?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Do you want to be a sacrificial lamb?
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Yeah.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Ross? OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Against... Well, you've got the alternate ones -
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Dave, Barry, Chris.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Barry?- Sure.- Down the middle.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47OK. Ross, from Things Are Looking Dicey,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49versus Barry, from the Eggheads.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52When you do Geography, we always say he's been to every answer.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Now I've eaten every answer.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I bet you find you've eaten every answer as well.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57More like drunk every answer!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59THEY LAUGH
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Gentlemen, please take your positions.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05So, Ross, you enjoy playing with Frisbees?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Yes.- It's more like the sporting level Frisbee, is that right?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Yeah.- Well, Ultimate Frisbee is a seven-a-side sport.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16So, yeah, it's not just throwing around a Frisbee so much.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18No, I used to take it quite seriously, when I used to throw
0:13:18 > 0:13:20a Frisbee as well.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Barry, has there ever been a good quiz question about Frisbees?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Yes, Frisbees started because they were, I think,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- pie boxes from an American pie company.- Really?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31And after the guys had eaten the pie,
0:13:31 > 0:13:32they started throwing the boxes around.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34And that's how Frisbees developed.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Did you know that, Ross?- I think I've heard that, yeah. Brilliant.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38OK, we're on Food and Drink,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41you've done a fantastic link from Frisbees to food, there, Barry.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Wonderful to see you in action.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Ross, do you want to go first or second?
0:13:45 > 0:13:46I'll go second.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51All right. Barry, here we go.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54First question. Black Ivory is an expensive coffee
0:13:54 > 0:13:55made from beans that
0:13:55 > 0:13:58have been eaten and then excreted by which creature?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Well, there's many creatures that excrete coffee beans.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09But out of those three, I think it's only an elephant who eats beans.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11So I'll go for elephant.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Elephant is right.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Over to you, Ross.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Fajitas, made by rolling strips of meat in a tortilla with vegetables,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21grated cheese and other garnishings,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23are associated with the cuisine of which country?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I think the name kind of gives it away, with the J being a kind of...
0:14:30 > 0:14:32It would be Mexico, wouldn't it?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Mexico is right, well done.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36You've hit him with your Frisbee.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Barry, the word magret refers specifically
0:14:41 > 0:14:43to the breast meat of which type of animal?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Magret - M-A-G-R-E-T.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Well, turkey and duck are so common a meat,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53that if anything was called magret I'm sure I would have seen it
0:14:53 > 0:14:57on a menu. So I'll go for guinea fowl.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Eggheads? Beth?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02It's duck. I have a few magret de canard in my freezer.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Magret de canard. Yeah, duck is the answer, Barry.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Oh, I didn't know that. Wow.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Beth pulled the expression that you normally pull.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12The tables have turned here.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Now, this is a good moment for our Challengers.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Let's just think about this. Get this right, Ross,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19and you may be just trucking on through to the final.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Don't let him back in.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25What name is given to the French cut of beef corresponding to the top of
0:15:25 > 0:15:26the skirt?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Uh... Oh, dear.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Sirloin is the only one I recognise out of all of those names,
0:15:37 > 0:15:42but entrecote is the most French-sounding one, I think.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46So I think I'd probably go for entrecote.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Onglet is the right answer, Ross.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- Oh, well.- So, Barry has the chance now to re-establish himself.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Mantou is a type of steamed bun in the cuisine of which country?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Could you just spell that, please? - Of course, M-A-N-T-O-U.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It doesn't sound Russian and it doesn't sound Japanese,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10but it does sound vaguely Chinese, so I'll go for China.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12China is right. Barry's got two.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- You need to get this one right now, Ross.- Yes.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17In Indian cuisine, what name is given to the flat skillet
0:16:17 > 0:16:21on which breads such as chapatis and parathas are cooked?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Oh, dear.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I do enjoy Indian cuisine,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32but I never really know how it's cooked in general.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36I think I'll just have a guess at tava.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39It sounds like a sort of skillet to me.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Now, had you gone wrong here,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45I would be congratulating Barry on his 500th head-to-head victory.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Oh, wow!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I didn't feel it was right to say this earlier.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- But tava is right. - Oh, yes!- Well done.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55You've said that very graciously, Barry, considering.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57So, we're not quite there, Barry.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- 500, wow.- 500.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04A proper part of Eggheads history. So here we are on Sudden Death.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05It gets a bit harder for you both,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I don't give you alternative answers.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Barry, in an Italian restaurant, what type of seafood is granchio?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I've never heard of this,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17and I'm particularly fond of Italian seafood in restaurants.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Granchio? Well, it's not clams.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It possibly could be scallops.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Octopi? Lobster? Mussels?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Oh, I'm running through a whole list of seafoods now.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32I don't know. I'll go for octopus.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Octopus you think is granchio?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Well, I don't know, but I just had to say one.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40500th victory in a head-to-head, Barry, if you get all this right.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42But it's not right, I'm afraid, it's crab.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Ah!- So, Ross, you can spoil the party here.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Leave him waiting. Which term for a meat,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54fish or vegetable mixture that has been cooked in advance,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56allowed to set in its container
0:17:56 > 0:18:00and is then usually served in slices, takes its name
0:18:00 > 0:18:04from the French for earthenware pot?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Is...?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I don't know if that sounds, like, too easy.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11That sounds like a pie to me.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Oh, no.- Oh, no.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Um... Or would it be...?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yeah, I'll just go with pie.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21No, it's terrine.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Terrine, oh, right. I don't know!
0:18:24 > 0:18:25I can see where you...
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- THEY LAUGH - Yeah!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30No, I think the key thing is the earthenware pot is the terrine bit.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Oh, OK.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34OK, Barry. Your question.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Which French cheese is aged in the caves of Combalou
0:18:37 > 0:18:39in the South of France?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Now, this would be easy if it wasn't for the fact that the French
0:18:42 > 0:18:44have about 300 cheeses.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49So, picking one out of that might be a bit difficult.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52But one cheese that I do know is aged in caves, I believe,
0:18:52 > 0:18:53is Roquefort.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54So I'll go for that.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Roquefort is correct, Barry. You're a very good quizzer.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59You haven't won the round yet.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Ross, to stay in.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Which foodstuff used in Europe to make polenta
0:19:04 > 0:19:06before the introduction of maize
0:19:06 > 0:19:13is the focus of Corsica's annual festival, Fiera di a Castagna?
0:19:13 > 0:19:19I don't know any Spanish, so I'm not sure.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Maize might be another sort of crop, similar to that.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Um... I'll have a guess at barley.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28No, it's chestnut.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Chestnut.- Barry, well done. 500 head-to-head victories.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Well done. A great moment for Barry.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Sorry, Ross. But there we are, a bit of Eggheads history for you.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41The Frisbee missed. Barry's in the final round.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And if you come back to us, we've got one more round to play
0:19:44 > 0:19:45before the final.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Well, I won't make the obvious remark
0:19:48 > 0:19:51about Things Are Looking Dicey. It's still looking pretty hopeful,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53if you look from the right angle!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55And you have lost three brains from the final round,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58the Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59But this, we could turn this around.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02So, who would like to go in? It's Geography now.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05And it's going to be Luke or David.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Are we...?- I think probably you.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- And then leave you for the final? - Yeah, I think that's probably wise.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12OK, so I think it's going to be me.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14OK, team captain goes in.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Yes.- Against? You've got either of the two gentlemen on the end.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- Dave or Chris.- Who are we thinking, Dave or Chris?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I think go with Dave.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23We'll take on Dave.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Very good. Luke, from Things Are Looking Dicey,
0:20:26 > 0:20:27takes on Dave, from the Eggheads,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30just trying to get one back for the Challengers here.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32To ensure there's no conferring, for the last time,
0:20:32 > 0:20:33please go to the Question Room.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37So, Geography, Luke, against Dave.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Would you like to go first or second?
0:20:38 > 0:20:39I'll go first, please.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44And here we go.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49Which of these is a popular nickname for the Scottish city of Inverness?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Well, I don't think it's Capital of the Borders,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58because that's the south of Scotland,
0:20:58 > 0:21:00and Inverness is the north of Scotland.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I would probably go for
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Capital of the Highlands.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Capital of the Highlands is quite right. Well done.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09And you're Edinburgh-based, aren't you?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Yes.- That's good, you can go back to Edinburgh in safety.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Dave, Reykjavik is the capital of which country?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Iceland.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Iceland is right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Luke, Guatemala and which other country of Central America
0:21:26 > 0:21:27share a border with Mexico?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I don't believe...
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Panama is the very south, southern part of Central America,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40and I think the Panama Canal is connecting it to South America.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41I think Belize is...
0:21:43 > 0:21:46..it's set to the east side by itself.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47So I think...
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I think it's Costa Rica.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52So I'm going for Costa Rica.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Eggheads, is he right?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- No.- No.- It's Belize.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58A chance for Dave to take the lead.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Dave, which of these mountains is the highest?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08OK, it's not Snowdon. Let's get that out of the way.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13I've got a feeling that Kilimanjaro is higher than Mont Blanc.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17So I'm going to go Kilimanjaro, please.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Yes, you're right. Kilimanjaro it is.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20So, Dave is ahead.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Luke, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26The Columbia River forms part of the border between Oregon
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and which other state?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Could you repeat the question again, please?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37The Columbia River forms part of the border
0:22:37 > 0:22:41between Oregon and which other state?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I don't think it's Colorado.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49I think Oregon's quite near Canada, in the north, and it's to the west.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52So I think it's either Washington or California.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57I would hazard a guess and go for Washington.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59OK, let's think this one through.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Help us, Eggheads. Oregon is on the West Coast?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- West Coast.- Yeah.- It is the top left, or is Washington the top left?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Washington is top left.- So it goes Washington, Oregon, California.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12If you go inland from Oregon, what's the next state along?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13You might hit Idaho.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16So you wouldn't hit Colorado, so we can rule that out.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Is that right? OK.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20So, it's got Washington north of it and California south of it.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22You've gone the right way. Washington is right, Luke.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Well done.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26OK, Dave, you can take the round with this.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Horncastle, located on the River Bain
0:23:28 > 0:23:32and with a history stretching back to Roman Britain,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34is a market town in which county?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Right. I might have got this wrong, but...
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I'm all over the place with the geography,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45but Dorset and Cheshire I'm going to rule out,
0:23:45 > 0:23:46I'm going to go Lincolnshire, please.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Lincolnshire is the right answer, Dave.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50You're in the final round. So, bad luck, Luke.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Sorry, knocked you out there. It's always the one incorrect answer
0:23:53 > 0:23:56that's so pricey with these Eggheads, when they're on good form.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Come back to us, please. We will play the final round.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06It's time for the final round which, as always, is General Knowledge.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09But, I'm afraid, those people who lost their head-to-heads
0:24:09 > 0:24:11are not allowed to take part in the final.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15So, that's Luke and Lucy and Ross and Ollie, I'm afraid,
0:24:15 > 0:24:16from Things Are Looking Dicey,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18would you please now leave the studio.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25OK, David. Here we are. You're playing to win your team £1,000.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Dave, Beth, Barry, Pat and Chris,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29you're playing for something that money can't buy -
0:24:29 > 0:24:33the Eggheads' reputation. Get this outfit back on the road.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38This time, they're all General Knowledge.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Usually, I say, "You can confer",
0:24:39 > 0:24:41but I appreciate that's not easy today.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43But, David, the question is, can you, with your one brain,
0:24:43 > 0:24:44defeat these five?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- I'm sure you can do it. - We'll wait and see what happens.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Good stuff. Would you like to go first or second?
0:24:49 > 0:24:50First, please.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56All right. Here we go. General Knowledge, and David first.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Which of these creatures has a caudal fin?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02And caudal is C-A-U-D-A-L.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12I know that caudal means towards the tail end.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15So the rear end of the animal.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18So I'm going to go for fish.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Absolutely right. Fish is right.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23OK, Eggheads. Which line immediately follows,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25"You don't have to say you love me,"
0:25:25 > 0:25:29in the chorus of the Dusty Springfield hit single?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- Just be close at hand. - Just be close at hand.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Well, every version that I've ever heard,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41it's, "Just be close at hand."
0:25:41 > 0:25:45"You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand," is correct.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Back to our Challenger.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Which of the following served as US President Gerald Ford's
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Secretary of Defence from 1975 to 1977?
0:25:59 > 0:26:05Well, I think I'm going to discount the first two cos Dick Cheney,
0:26:05 > 0:26:12I believe he was the Vice President during George W Bush,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Donald Rumsfeld, I think, was his Defence Secretary.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20So by excluding them, I think it's John Ashcroft.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Yeah, I see your logic, but, actually,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Rumsfeld was making a comeback. Donald Rumsfeld was the answer.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28He was Ford's Secretary of Defence.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31So, you've got that wrong. Eggheads, your question.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35The Cannibal was the nickname given to which cyclist?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Eddy Merckx.- Eddy Merckx. - Eddy Merckx.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Fantastically competitive.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45That's Eddy Merckx, Jeremy.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Eddy Merckx is right. They've taken the lead.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51David, it's not over unless you get this wrong.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Anthony Marston, Ethel Rogers
0:26:53 > 0:26:57and Justice Wargrave are characters in which Agatha Christie novel?
0:27:04 > 0:27:10I can't say I'm a big fan of Agatha Christie novels, I'm afraid.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I'm not sure which way to go.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16I'm just going to have to go for gut instinct,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18cos it's the one I've heard of.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Murder On The Orient Express.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Let's find out. Eggheads, what's the answer?
0:27:23 > 0:27:24It's And Then There Were None.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26The clue's Justice Wargrave.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28He's one of the main characters.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31And Then There Were None is the correct answer, David.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33The Eggheads have taken it.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36We have to say congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Commiserations. Agatha Christie.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44She comes up a lot.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- She does, doesn't she? - She's brilliant.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48What, as a quiz trove?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Quiz trove? She's a mine.- Yeah.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Well, the Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them
0:27:53 > 0:27:55most of the time. Here you are,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I won't say reigning supreme, Eggs,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59but certainly back in charge of Quizland.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It does mean that the Challengers don't go home with the £1,000.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04The money rolls over to our next show.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06And this lot then start to think about building on it
0:28:06 > 0:28:08and increasing the jackpot.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Oh, Barry, you had a question.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Yes, my question was,
0:28:12 > 0:28:17which group of composers can be represented by the mnemonic Mr BBC?
0:28:17 > 0:28:21OK. Is it a group of composers by time, or music, or what?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Well, it's by music and place, really.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26The answer is they're the Russian composers known
0:28:26 > 0:28:29as the Mighty Handful, or sometimes The Five.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31And they're Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Balakirev, Borodin, and Cui.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Brilliant.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Join us next time to see if a new team of Challengers have
0:28:37 > 0:28:39the brains to embarrass them.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41£2,000 says they can't do it.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Till then, goodbye.
