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?
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:26 > 0:00:29pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31They are the Eggheads.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Hoping to beat the might of the Eggheads today
0:00:34 > 0:00:36are Getting On With The Grindrods from Gloucestershire.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Now, this family team share a passion for quizzing,
0:00:39 > 0:00:43and siblings Jumbly, Chris and Tom regularly quiz together
0:00:43 > 0:00:46at the Oakford Social Club in Reading.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47So, let's meet them.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Hi, my name's Pete and I'm a mathematician.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hi, my name's Chris and I'm an accountant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Hi, my name's Sophie
0:00:54 > 0:00:56and I'm a postgraduate student in media and communications.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hi, my name's Jumbly and I'm a PhD philosophy student and lecturer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hi, my name's Tom and I'm an English literature student.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04So, Pete and team, hello.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- ALL:- Hello! - Thank you so much for coming in.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- And, Grindrod is the family name, that's what you're all called.- Yes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And Pete, you are the father here.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Yes, indeed. And these are our four children.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Brilliant. And you are a mathematician.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Yes, I am, I'm a professor of mathematics.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Does it mean you spend a lot of time thinking about prime numbers
0:01:22 > 0:01:23and triangles, and so on?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27I think about triangles and graphs and that kind of thing, yeah -
0:01:27 > 0:01:30but very much with applications in mind to media and social media.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32OK - and have your children here...
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I know your dad doesn't have to answer on your behalf,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37but let's ask him - have they branched into
0:01:37 > 0:01:38lots of different areas in life?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yes, none of them wanted to be mathematicians!
0:01:40 > 0:01:41THEY LAUGH
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- My dad is a mathematician...- Great. - ..and I ended up doing broadcasting,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46so maybe I'm an example of that as well.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- He spent all his time thinking about prime numbers.- Yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Which I guess you would see the excitement with.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52- There are worse vices! - LAUGHTER
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Good luck, team.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Every day there is £1,000 worth of cash
0:01:56 > 0:01:58up for grabs for our Challengers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01However, if the Challengers fail to defeat the Eggheads,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03the prize money rolls over to the next show.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Now, Getting On With The Grindrods,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I can tell you that the Eggheads lost the last game.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08They have a terrible time, it seems,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10with the editors of national newspapers.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13It keeps causing trouble, so they were taken down.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16It means there's £1,000 to play for today.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19The good news is they're probably a little shaken, still.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Do you want to start? - We're ready.- All right.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23The first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25You can choose between Beth, Kevin, Chris,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Steve and Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- I think it's Chris. - I think we're going to pick Chris.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I'm solid, I'm really confident on geography.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Solid on geography, Chris? Good.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Our accountant against any one of the five.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Um, I will go for Chris.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- This could get confusing! - LAUGHTER
0:02:41 > 0:02:44We'll do it by shirt colour, OK?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Chris from Getting On With The Grindrods
0:02:46 > 0:02:49versus the other Chris from Getting On With The Eggheads -
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and just to ensure there's no conferring, would you please both
0:02:52 > 0:02:54take your positions in our famous Question Room?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Here we are with Geography, and Chris the Challenger,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01I would like to go first.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Here we go.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10San Bernardino, Long Beach and Anaheim
0:03:10 > 0:03:12are all cities in which US state?
0:03:15 > 0:03:21OK, well, I believe that Long Beach...
0:03:21 > 0:03:26Well, I believe that's a beach, and so...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28and California has a very long coastline,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30and so I'm going to go with California.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Long Beach, California, yes, you're absolutely right. Well done.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36OK, Chris.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Which of these Scandinavian cities is furthest north?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It's Tromso, right up in the north of Norway.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Yeah, very snowy there. Chelsea played a game there once.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Tromso's right. That's how I know everything geographical,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52"Have Chelsea played there?"
0:03:52 > 0:03:53One each.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Chris, the Challenger, your question.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01Where can the megalithic monument Maeshowe be found?
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Maes is M-A-E-S, and Howe, H-O-W-E.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Maeshowe.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Well, I do believe there's some very, very old monuments
0:04:15 > 0:04:18up in the far north of Scotland.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Not so sure about Canvey Island and Anglesey
0:04:22 > 0:04:24with the same kind of history.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28So, on that basis, I'm going to go with Orkney.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Orkney is correct, well done.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31It would have been easy to go wrong there.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Chris Hughes, you've seen that? - Been there, yeah.- Been there?- Yeah.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Had a look at it?- Yeah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38It's a Neolithic tomb
0:04:38 > 0:04:42that was robbed out by the Vikings some time around 900AD.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45There's Viking graffiti inside which apparently translates as,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47"If you're looking for treasure, we've already nicked it"!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49LAUGHTER
0:04:49 > 0:04:51OK, Chris Hughes, your question.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Which of these countries is the ninth largest in the world by area?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56The ninth largest.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Hm.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Well, it's not France.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Egypt's quite large, it's got large lumps of desert in it.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11But, ninth largest,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I think we're looking at Central Asia, so it's Kazakhstan.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Kazakhstan is correct, Chris, well done.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's not an easy question at all.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Third question to you, Challenger.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25Trains to Spain depart from which of these railway stations in Paris?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31OK, well, I have been to Paris.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Unfortunately, I haven't been to Spain from Paris.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Well, judging that they're going to go in a southeasterly direction,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41er, south-westerly direction, I'm going to rule out Gare de l'Est.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46And I'm going to go with Gare Saint-Lazare.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Let's see if your team-mates know.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50I've been to Gare de l'Est,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52but I don't know which trains go from there.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Well, he's right to rule out Gare de l'Est.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57It's actually Gare d'Austerlitz. THEY GROAN
0:05:57 > 0:05:59So you were on a 50-50, you went the wrong way.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Let's see if Chris Hughes can take advantage.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02For the round, Chris.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06In which state is the almost-deserted town of Centralia
0:06:06 > 0:06:10where underground coal seams have been burning
0:06:10 > 0:06:13since being accidentally ignited in 1962?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Ah, I saw a documentary about this. It's a strange place, actually,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23quite apart from the coal mines being on fire.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25It's in Pennsylvania.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Pennsylvania is the right answer.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30You've taken the round - sorry, Challenger.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Lost out to Chris on that one question.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Please return and rejoin your team-mates.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39As it stands, Getting On With The Grindrods
0:06:39 > 0:06:41have lost a brain from the final round.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44The Eggheads are all still there, and need a bit of dislodging,
0:06:44 > 0:06:45I think, Challengers.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49The next subject for you is Music. Who wants this?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50I think I'm going to take on Music.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- You're strong on this. - Strong knowledge there.- Jumbly, OK.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Which Egghead should I take on? - You can choose anyone but Chris.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Um...- Do any of them look like they don't want it?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Kevin's looking a bit disconnected there, I think.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02THEY LAUGH
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Shall we try for Kevin, then? - Yeah, let's do it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07So, Jumbly from Getting On With The Grindrods
0:07:07 > 0:07:11has identified that Kevin looks a little bit out of sorts.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12- Who knows?- Who knows?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15To ensure there's no conferring, please take your positions.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20So, Jumbly is your real name - but you were born James.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Yeah, so, Mum and Dad called me Jumbly from the off
0:07:24 > 0:07:27and it stuck at school and everyone that I knew,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31so eventually I changed it to Jumbly to sort of have it in print.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- So you made it an official thing? - Yes.- Right.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Would you like to go first or second on Music?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Can I go first, please?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Your first question, Jumbly.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44"When the rain is blowing in your face
0:07:44 > 0:07:46"and the whole world is on your case"
0:07:46 > 0:07:49are the opening lines to which song?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Well, I'm pleased to say I know all three of those songs,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59um, and in particular I know those lines.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I think Adele sings it quite famously,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04but originally it's a Bob Dylan song.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And so I'm going to go with Make You Feel My Love.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09You're right in every respect, Jumbly, well done.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Kevin, which 1997 hit single features the lyrics
0:08:12 > 0:08:14"I get knocked down
0:08:14 > 0:08:16"but I get up again, you're never going to keep me down"?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Well, I think that was Chumbawamba's Tubthumping.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Quite distinctive.- Very distinctive, and you're right, Tubthumping.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31OK, back to you, Jumbly.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Gregorian chant is a style of music named after
0:08:34 > 0:08:37a Pope who came into office in which century?
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Well, Gregorian chanting, I don't know a lot about Gregorian chanting.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49It strikes me as something quite medieval.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Now, even with that, I'm not sure whether to place it...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's definitely not the 20th century.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01But between the sixth and the 14th, I'm honestly not sure.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'm going to go with the 14th.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- It is very old, it's even older than you think, it's the sixth.- Ah.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Ranging far and wide, here.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Kevin, your question, to take the lead.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16What's the profession of Jenny Lind, the 19th-century musical star?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23She was nicknamed The Swedish Nightingale
0:09:23 > 0:09:26because she was a soprano singer.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28She was indeed, soprano singer.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Jumbly, to stay in.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34The influential jazz musician Dexter Gordon was famous
0:09:34 > 0:09:37as a soloist on which instrument?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44So, I don't know Dexter Gordon.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Um, so this is going to have to be something of an estimate.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54I'm going to go with, um, tenor saxophone.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Tenor saxophone is quite right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Yes!- Well done. Two out of three.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Is it enough to take Kevin to Sudden Death?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Let's see. Kevin, get this right, you're in the final round.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07The name of the viola da gamba refers to it being held
0:10:07 > 0:10:10by which part of the body whilst it is played?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Well, it was a largish instrument
0:10:16 > 0:10:20which was played by placing it between the legs
0:10:20 > 0:10:23so it would be placed upright between the legs, bowed.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27It's rather like a sort of a smaller cello, in a way.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30So, between the legs.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32The answer is between the legs, you've got three out of three.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Sorry, Jumbly.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Knocked out, beaten by our Egghead.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Similar to the Chris round, as well, before that.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Time for a comeback, now, from our Challengers.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Please return to your team.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46So, the Challengers in a little bit of difficulty
0:10:46 > 0:10:48but the last game this happened and they won.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51This is maybe the time to just hit the plan.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- What plan? - THEY LAUGH
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I assume you've got some equations...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58All right, so, Getting On With The Grindrods
0:10:58 > 0:11:00have lost two brains from the final round.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03The Eggheads have not lost any. The next subject is Film & TV.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Who would like this?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Um, I'm happy to take this one. - Yes, I think you should.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Sophie, OK.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Against which Egghead? You can have either Dave, Steve, or Beth.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Any ideas?- I reckon Steve. - Steve?- Yeah.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Steve fancies... He's looking away.- Yeah.- Smiling.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- It's a habit.- All right then.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23OK. I'll take on Steve.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Sophie from Getting On With The Grindrods
0:11:24 > 0:11:27to play Steve from the Eggheads,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29and please take your positions now.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Sophie, I should ask you about the team name.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Getting On With The Grindrods, that's your family name,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36but it's based on a TV show?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Yes, we are, we're big Kardashian fans.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42And their show is called?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Keeping Up With The Kardashians. - Of course.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Film & TV, would you like to go first or second?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Um, I think I'd like to go first, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Good luck to you.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Who presented a series of his Toy Stories
0:11:57 > 0:12:00in which he attempted to build a full-size model Spitfire
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and the world's longest model train set?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Yeah, I think I know this one.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13It was on not too long ago and I think it was James May.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Very good, James May is the right answer.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19First point to our Challenger.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Steve, who came second to Will Young
0:12:21 > 0:12:24in the original series of Pop Idol in 2002?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Yeah, I think the other two came quite a way after.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32it's Gareth Gates.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Gareth Gates is right.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Over to you, Sophie.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40In which of these TV series did Penelope Keith appear first?
0:12:46 > 0:12:47OK, um...
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Not quite sure about this one. Um...
0:12:52 > 0:12:56I think I will go with The Good Life.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59You were born in the '90s, I'm thinking.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- I was, yes.- This is some way earlier, I remember this as a child.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05You've got it right, though, The Good Life.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Your dad was... You remember it, Pete, right?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Yeah, that's history, not... - LAUGHTER
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It's a very long time ago.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14OK, Steve.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Which actor played Seymour Krelborn
0:13:17 > 0:13:20in the 1986 film musical Little Shop Of Horrors?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Well, the only one of those I remember being in it
0:13:27 > 0:13:29was Rick Moranis, so that's my answer.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31It's the correct answer, Rick Moranis is right.
0:13:31 > 0:13:332-2 is the score, so, level.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Third question coming your way now, Sophie.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Which British actor played the crooked French policeman
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Captain Louis Renault in the 1942 film Casablanca?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51OK, um...
0:13:51 > 0:13:55I...am not entirely sure.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Um, but I think I'm going to go with Claude Rains.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02You've got it right, actually. Well done.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- That really is before you were born.- Yeah.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Brilliant. Three out of three. Is it enough?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Steve, your question. Who directed
0:14:10 > 0:14:13the 2002 science-fiction film Minority Report?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Ooh, right.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I'm not sure. Minority Report.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27For some reason...
0:14:28 > 0:14:31..and no doubt I'm going to be proved to be wrong,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I think it was Stephen Spielberg, so that's my answer.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37OK. Let's check this with Beth. You know, Beth?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Yes, it is Stephen Spielberg.- Beth confirms it is Stephen Spielberg.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Well done, Sophie, you've held him off so far.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Gets a bit harder now we go to Sudden Death.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I don't give you alternative answers here, OK?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- OK.- Which Blue Peter presenter had the famous catchphrase,
0:14:51 > 0:14:52"Get down, Shep"?
0:14:52 > 0:14:58OK. um, yes. I think that this was...Matt Baker.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Pete?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- It was John Noakes. - It was John Noakes.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05OK.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Again, we're slightly pre-Sophie with that question.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13OK. It's a great question, actually.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Steve, for the round, Sudden Death.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18The name of which history presenter completes the titles
0:15:18 > 0:15:21of the TV programmes, Six Wives With...
0:15:21 > 0:15:24and A Very British Murder With...?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Mm.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30I'm not sure, but I think that might be Lucy Worsley.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Lucy Worsley is the right answer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Well done on Sudden Death. You've won it, Steve.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Three rounds now to our Eggheads.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Sorry, Sophie, beaten by our Egghead and knocked out.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40They are playing well.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Often happens after a defeat, they come back strongly.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Please rejoin your teams. One more round to play.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49So, as it stands, Getting On With The Grindrods
0:15:49 > 0:15:52are not quite keeping up with the Eggheads at this point,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54but you've still got time.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56They've lost three brains from the final round.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58The Eggheads have not lost any so far.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00The next subject is History.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Who would like this?- OK.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Tom, you said you wanted History. - Tom likes history.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Really like it.- Yes.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08- Tom?- Yeah.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Against which Egghead? And you've got one of the two on the end,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Beth or Dave? - Beth or Dave, what do you think?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Not easy.- No.- I reckon Beth.- Yeah?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18OK. I'll take on Beth, then.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Great, so, Tom, from Getting On With The Grindrods,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23takes on Beth, on History, from the Eggheads.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Please go to the Question Room for the last time.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30So, Tom, History, first or second?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31I'd like to go second, please.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37So, first question goes to Beth.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Shortly after an invasion in 43AD, Beth,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44who were the first to establish London as a major settlement?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Is that 43BC?- 43AD.- Oh, 43AD.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Er, well, that would be the Romans, then.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Romans is correct.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Over to you, Tom.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Which of these terms relates to a historical bravery award
0:17:01 > 0:17:03in the British Armed Forces?
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Um, well, I think you have dispatches from the front,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17so I'd go "mentioned in dispatches".
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It's right, somebody's mentioned in dispatches, they've done very well.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23One each. Beth.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Historically the term "knob-thatcher"
0:17:25 > 0:17:28referred to which profession?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Ooh, er...
0:17:35 > 0:17:37SHE SIGHS
0:17:37 > 0:17:38I don't think it was a brewer...
0:17:40 > 0:17:44..but your hair is often commonly referred to as your thatch,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46so I'll go with wig maker.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Wig maker is right, I think thatch is the clue, yeah.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52OK, Tom.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Which year saw the Battles of Brentford, Turnham Green,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58and Powick Bridge, among others?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06OK, well, I know Brentford,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09it's around London so it's quite far south,
0:18:09 > 0:18:13so I'm guessing this is English Civil War, so I'd go for 1642.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Let's just check here with Kevin. Is that right, first of all?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17- It is, yes.- 1642 is correct -
0:18:17 > 0:18:20and Turnham Green is my nearest Tube stop.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- That's the site of the battle, is it?- Yeah.- West Londonish?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Yeah - I mean, that was the year the Civil War started
0:18:27 > 0:18:29and these were early battles.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I mean, the first major battle of the war
0:18:31 > 0:18:32was at Edge Hill in Warwickshire.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Powick Bridge was a skirmish in the same area.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39But then the forces of Charles I
0:18:39 > 0:18:42tried to force their way into London coming from the west,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46and they were held back at Brentford and Turnham.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48OK, local history to me, really useful, thank you.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50So, your third question, Beth.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54What was the name of the nurse who survived the Titanic sinking,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56the sinking of the sister ship, Britannic,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59and was on board the other sister ship, Olympic,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01during a major collision?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Never travel with this person!
0:19:08 > 0:19:09SHE SIGHS
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Ooh, this isn't something I immediately know.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18I bet the guys are sitting there going, it's certainly such-and-such
0:19:18 > 0:19:22and there's me scrabbling about in a bit of the dark, really.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Erm...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27None at all, it's going to be
0:19:27 > 0:19:29a one-in-three stab in the dark, I'm afraid.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I'm going to go for Dorothy Gibson.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Dorothy Gibson is your answer. Tom, do you know this?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- I've no idea. - It's a hard question.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Violet Jessop is the correct answer.- Oh!
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Lucky lady.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Does anyone know how she actually did die in the end?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Old age.- Old age.- Old age! - She was a survivor.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Maybe you do, maybe I'm wrong, you do travel with her.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Yeah, well... SHE would survive!
0:19:54 > 0:19:59Yes! 83 years old she was when she died, amazingly.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Right, Tom, you can get into the final with this question,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03this might be a crucial moment here.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Which social reformer became known for her report on conditions
0:20:08 > 0:20:11in the concentration camps set up by the British
0:20:11 > 0:20:15during the Boer War of 1899 to 1902?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Right, um,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26yeah, Boer War, wow.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Not...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I'm not a big military history buff,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35so, I mean, I got away with the first one.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Er...
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Mary Seacole, Emily Hobhouse, Henrietta Barnett...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41They don't ring a bell,
0:20:41 > 0:20:45so, which one sounds best? They're all great names.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I'm going to go for Mary Seacole.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49No, it's Emily Hobhouse.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51So, level after three questions.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52We go to Sudden Death.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Let off for you there, Beth. - Yeah, thank you.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59It's your question. I don't give you alternative options here.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Prince George of Denmark was the consort of which British monarch?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Um, Queen Anne?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Queen Anne is right. Well done.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Tom, to stay in.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14The site of the 1777 Battle of Brandywine
0:21:14 > 0:21:17is in which modern country?
0:21:17 > 0:21:181777?
0:21:21 > 0:21:27I'm going to guess, purely because of the date, the United States.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29United States is quite right, yeah.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31OK, Beth, on to you, Sudden Death we're on.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Which future King was known as Prince Albert
0:21:34 > 0:21:37when he served aboard HMS Collingwood
0:21:37 > 0:21:39at the Battle Of Jutland?
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Yes, King George VI's original name was Albert,
0:21:45 > 0:21:46so, George VI.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48George VI is quite right.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Tom, you need this to stay in.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55The Royal House Of Bruce supplied how many kings of Scotland?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57HE EXHALES
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Kings of Scotland.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Well, unfortunately, my knowledge of the House Of Bruce
0:22:06 > 0:22:11probably is entirely in Braveheart.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Again, this is going to be a guess.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'm going to go for...five.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22The answer was actually two.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25It was Robert I, Robert The Bruce, and David II.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29So, Beth has taken it on Sudden Death and she will be in the final.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Tom, sorry, you've been knocked out.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Return to us, both of you. We'll play that final round.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37This is what we've been playing towards.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's time for our final round. As always it's General Knowledge.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I'm afraid those who lost your head-to-heads
0:22:41 > 0:22:44are not allowed to take part, though.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47So from our Challengers, it's Chris, Sophie, Jumbly and Tom.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Would you please now leave the studio?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Pete, you're playing to win Getting On With The Grindrods £1,000.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Dave, Steve, Chris, Kevin and Beth,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58you're playing for something money can't buy,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02which is the Eggheads' reputation and to get yourselves back on track.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04As usual I will ask each team three questions in turn.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07This time they're all General Knowledge.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09You may confer. I'm sorry that doesn't help you, Pete.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14The question is, can you with your one brain defeat these five?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16So would you like to go first or second?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I'd like to go first, please, Jeremy.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Good luck to you.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Which date in the calendar is also known as Pancake Day in the UK?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Well, it's a Tuesday and it's Shrove Tuesday.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40It is indeed Shrove Tuesday, Pete, well done.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Back to the Eggheads. All five of you are here.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46The pre-decimal two shilling coin continued to be used until 1993
0:23:46 > 0:23:50as which decimal UK coin?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- 10p.- 10p. - That's two bob, 10p.- 10p, yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00We believe that is 10p, please, Jeremy.
0:24:00 > 0:24:0210p is right, Dave.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Pete, back to you.
0:24:04 > 0:24:10Irina Shayk, born in 1986 in Yemanzhelinsk in the Urals,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12became famous in which field?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Irina Shayk, spelt I-R-I-N-A.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Well...
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Uh...
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I don't know this immediately.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Um...
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Born in 1986?
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Yes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39Uh... So she's young for a...
0:24:39 > 0:24:41politician.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43So, thinking about sport.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Yeah, I can see her as a...
0:24:49 > 0:24:53as a sportswoman...
0:24:54 > 0:24:59..and I have a great and abiding interest in fashion
0:24:59 > 0:25:03and I'm not sure if she's involved in fashion, so...
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Um... I'm going to go for Sport, Jeremy.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09OK, let's see if the Eggheads agree. Eggheads?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- I don't know the name but I would have gone fashion.- Fashion.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- I would have gone fashion.- Yeah, they default in to fashion a lot
0:25:15 > 0:25:18because if you haven't heard of them, it's fashion.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Is that your rule? Your unofficial rule?- Yes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I don't know about a rule, but between those choices,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26I think we'd probably have heard of her if it was the other two.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Yeah, Fashion is the answer.- Oh.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32So, Eggheads have a chance to take the lead.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Which type of bird can be referred to by the term tercel?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Male falcon, yeah?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Male falcon, yeah?- Yep, definitely.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47We're going to go for male falcon, please, Jeremy.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49You didn't hesitate - and it is male falcon.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Well done. You've taken the lead, Eggheads.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54That means, Pete, you need to get this one right to stay in.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Which of these devices is used to measure angles
0:25:56 > 0:25:59between facets of gemstones?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Oh, I don't know this.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Um...
0:26:10 > 0:26:18A limnometer sounds like something that might measure
0:26:18 > 0:26:20angles and...
0:26:20 > 0:26:26um... edges, natural clines in...media.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Actinometer?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Actino-meter.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Oh, it doesn't sound attractive, I don't think.
0:26:36 > 0:26:43Well, I can't think of words with those prefixes which really...
0:26:45 > 0:26:46..pull me towards...
0:26:48 > 0:26:53..gems and cut facets and those sorts of things.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59So I think I'm going to go with my gut, which is my first thought,
0:26:59 > 0:27:03which is
0:27:03 > 0:27:04limnometer.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Limnometer is your answer.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11OK, if you've got it wrong, the contest is over.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Let's see whether the Eggheads know this.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16It's goniometer.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- Gon-iometer? Or go-niometer? - It's to do with angles and inclines,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22particularly with reference to crystals,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25so that's where the gemstones thing comes in.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Limnometer sounds like it might be something to do with fresh water.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Yes, limnometer is a tidal gauge.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32And actinometer, actinome means "rays",
0:27:32 > 0:27:34so that would be something to do with radiation.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Yes, you're right, Kevin, again, amazingly.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Actinometer is to do with the heating power of radiation -
0:27:39 > 0:27:43but the answer we wanted there was goniometer.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47So, we have to say, congratulations, Eggheads, you have won.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49APPLAUSE
0:27:52 > 0:27:55You gave that last one a lot of thought, Pete, my goodness.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56And now we're "goni"! So...
0:27:56 > 0:27:58JEREMY LAUGHS
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Goniometer's a measure of being gone in Eggheads, yeah.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Thank you for playing. It's been great to meet you.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Commiserations to the Challengers today.
