0:00:06 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19The question is, do you have the brains to join them?

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Hello, and welcome to Make Me An Egghead.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30We've launched a nationwide search

0:00:30 > 0:00:32to find the greatest quiz brains in Britain.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Over the past few weeks, we've seen contestants battle it out

0:00:35 > 0:00:39to win the ultimate prize for quizzing enthusiasts -

0:00:39 > 0:00:43a place on the most fearsome quiz team in history, the Eggheads.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44There they all are.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Well, we've reached the semifinal stage

0:00:47 > 0:00:49and now only a handful of people remain

0:00:49 > 0:00:51in the hunt to become an Egghead.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Let's meet today's contestants.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Hi, I'm Gary Grant, I'm a GP and I'm originally from Aberdeen.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Gerard Mackay, an accounts assistant

0:00:59 > 0:01:01from Nesscliffe in Shropshire.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Gary, Gerard, good to see you.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07So, going back over what you achieved to get here,

0:01:07 > 0:01:08Gerard, you're in third place,

0:01:08 > 0:01:10but you got the most points in the quickfire round.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14You got 24 right! Well, yeah... Nobody did better.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16I just, obviously, got a lucky run of questions

0:01:16 > 0:01:18that I happened to know the answer to.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Well...very modest, obviously.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22But you've got that thing that quizzers have,

0:01:22 > 0:01:25which is speed of access as well as the knowledge.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Yeah, if you do enough quizzes, there is a reflex in your head,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31I think, that you hear a certain part of a question,

0:01:31 > 0:01:35then you have an idea what the question is going to be asking.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37All right, well, you were third on the leaderboard.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41Gary, you were second-placed with a stunning 28. Yeah, yeah.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43You won all three rounds. I won all three rounds.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47It was one of those days when every 50-50 was right,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50so somehow I didn't get a question wrong.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54So, basically, we're seeing the real hot spot on the leaderboard

0:01:54 > 0:01:57here with you two placed second and third.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Are you ready? As I ever will be.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Good luck to you both.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Contestants, this is where you need to prove you could be an Egghead.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06You are getting closer and closer.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07Just like on Eggheads,

0:02:07 > 0:02:10both of you will compete over a series of different rounds

0:02:10 > 0:02:14where your knowledge will be tested on the regular Eggheads categories.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17So the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Geography.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20I'll ask each of you three multiple-choice questions

0:02:20 > 0:02:21on geography in turn.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26The prize for winning a round on Make Me An Egghead

0:02:26 > 0:02:29is that you gain an extra brain for the final.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34Not just any old brain, one of these brains over this side here.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37So, Gary, as our highest-ranked player in the semifinal,

0:02:37 > 0:02:40you can tell us whether you now want to go first or second.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43It worked well in my heat, so I will go first, please, Jeremy.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48And, Gary, here is your first question.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51In which English county is the village of Naseby,

0:02:51 > 0:02:54site of a famous 1645 battle?

0:02:58 > 0:03:03OK. I've driven past Naseby, on my way to a quiz, actually.

0:03:03 > 0:03:08And that quiz was held in Northamptonshire.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11So unless my GPS sent me very badly the wrong way,

0:03:11 > 0:03:13the answer to that is Northamptonshire.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Northamptonshire is right.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18And do we know the 1645 battle, what that was?

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Do we know anything about it? English Civil War. Anyone?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24It was the Battle of Naseby, yes, in the Civil War.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27It was one of the climactic battles in the Civil War.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Right.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30OK, Gerard, over to you

0:03:30 > 0:03:31for your first question.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Which of these countries shares a border with Namibia?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Well, Malawi's too far east, and so is Tanzania,

0:03:42 > 0:03:44too far north, really.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45It's got to be Botswana.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Botswana is correct.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49So, one each. Back to you, Gary.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51The ancient region of Cappadocia

0:03:51 > 0:03:54occupied an area of which present-day country?

0:03:57 > 0:04:01OK. I think there are some impressive rock formations there,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04which loads of tourists go to see.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05Um, and it's certainly in Turkey.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Turkey is correct.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Your question, Gerard.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Mondello beach is a feature of which Mediterranean island?

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Well, I've not heard of Mondello beach, I have to say.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26It does sound very Italian, so I...

0:04:26 > 0:04:28uh, I think I'll rule out Malta.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Mondello... Mondello beach...

0:04:31 > 0:04:33I'm going to play with the odds

0:04:33 > 0:04:35and go for the largest one there, Sicily.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Sicily is the right answer. Well done, Gerard.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Now your question, Gary,

0:04:40 > 0:04:41your third.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45Which country borders the Mexican state of Tabasco?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Hmm. Right.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54That one's not quite so easy.

0:04:55 > 0:05:01Belize, I think, has a border with...Yucatan Peninsula.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03It will have quite a small border with Mexico.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05So if I'm playing the percentages,

0:05:05 > 0:05:07I'm probably going to rule out Belize.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Could be the USA, to be honest with you,

0:05:11 > 0:05:14cos it's got an enormous border with Mexico, but...

0:05:14 > 0:05:16I think Tabasco is further south.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22So on not very much evidence, and this is quite a weak answer,

0:05:22 > 0:05:25I'm going to say Guatemala.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Guatemala is correct.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29You've got three out of three, Gary. Well done.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Gerard, to stay in, your third question.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36Approximately how many years was St Petersburg known as Leningrad?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Well, it changed back in the '90s.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49So...that takes us back to...22.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52No, that's...that's far too recent.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56I think it's 67, Jeremy.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58It is 67. You're right.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00You're equal after three. We knew we had

0:06:00 > 0:06:02two good quizzers here.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Sudden Death, we go to. Gary, your question.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08On which island is the resort of Famagusta?

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Famagusta... Now, I need to get this right,

0:06:10 > 0:06:13because I might confuse it with Faliraki, which is on Rhodes.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16But Famagusta, if I'm not much mistaken,

0:06:16 > 0:06:18is on the island of Cyprus.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Cyprus is right.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Janiculum is a hill in which European city, Gerard?

0:06:25 > 0:06:30Janiculum is a hill just to the west, I think, of Rome.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Rome is right.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Back to you, Gary. Sudden Death.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36The capital of which Southeast Asian country

0:06:36 > 0:06:39was formerly called Batavia?

0:06:39 > 0:06:43That...is... Well, it's the capital of Indonesia,

0:06:43 > 0:06:46because it used to be run by the Dutch and it's, um...Jakarta.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48I just want the country. Oh! Indonesia, then.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51You've said it. Indonesia is quite right.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Gerard,

0:06:53 > 0:06:57the US state of Wisconsin has borders on Lake Superior

0:06:57 > 0:06:58and which other Great Lake?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Ah, right.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05So, Sergeant Major Hates Eating Oranges.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07That's the way I always remember the order of the lakes.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09So M is Michigan.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11So I think it must be Michigan.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Take us through that...acronym, or whatever you call it.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Yeah, it's Sergeant Majors Hate Eating Oranges -

0:07:16 > 0:07:19just reminds me of the order from Superior,

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Michigan, "Hates" is Huron, "Eating" is Eerie

0:07:23 > 0:07:26and "Oranges" is Ontario.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28You heard that one before? Yeah.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30If you swap the second and third ones round,

0:07:30 > 0:07:34you've got them in decreasing order of size as well, so that helps. Oh!

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Listen, they will be tuned into that, I tell you.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Writing it down under the desk.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41Michigan is quite right.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Gary, the Genissiat dam,

0:07:46 > 0:07:50which, when it opened in 1948, was one of the largest in Europe,

0:07:50 > 0:07:53is on which river in France?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Oh, crikey. Would you mind spelling that, please?

0:07:55 > 0:08:00Yeah, G-E acute accent -N-I-S-S-I-A-T.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Genissiat.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04I'll have to be honest, I don't know this,

0:08:04 > 0:08:08so I'm going to guess for a river in France.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Um, so I really ought to pick one of the bigger ones,

0:08:11 > 0:08:14which would mean picking the Seine, the Loire or the Rhone.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18I don't think it's the Loire, because I've been there,

0:08:18 > 0:08:20I've certainly been to the lower reaches of it.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24Let's go for the...Seine.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27A-ha! You had, what, Seine, Loire and Rhone?

0:08:27 > 0:08:28Yeah. And it's the Rhone, is it?

0:08:28 > 0:08:31It's the Rhone. Yeah, OK. JEREMY CHUCKLES

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Now, because this is such a tight contest, Gerard,

0:08:33 > 0:08:36I'm tempted to say you need to take advantage now.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37Sudden Death.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Get this right and you've taken the round.

0:08:39 > 0:08:45Which African capital is situated on the Bou Regreg river,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47opposite the city of Sale?

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Sale is S-A-L-E with an acute accent.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Sale. Well, Sale, it sounds...

0:08:54 > 0:08:56like a French pronunciation of an African name,

0:08:56 > 0:09:00so I'm thinking...French Africa.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01I really don't know this.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04I'm just going to have to take a bit of a leap in the dark.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07I'm going to say Bamako in Mali.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I like your logic, but you're wrong.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's Rabat, the capital of Morocco.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Sudden Death.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Your question, Gary.

0:09:14 > 0:09:19Mato Grosso is the name of both a state and a plateau

0:09:19 > 0:09:21in which South American country?

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Right, when you said it, um...

0:09:25 > 0:09:30before you said South American, I immediately thought Brazil.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33So I'm going to have a think, see if I want to change.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35And I don't, so I'm going to stick with Brazil.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Brazil is right.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Gerard,

0:09:38 > 0:09:41the Ataturk Dam in Turkey stands on which river?

0:09:43 > 0:09:48Uh... Ooh, do I know...? I'm trying to think...

0:09:48 > 0:09:52No... The Amu Darya? I can't think of rivers in Turkey.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54The Amu Darya? Yeah.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56The answer is the Euphrates. Oh!

0:09:57 > 0:10:01So, on Sudden Death, Gary has edged ahead.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04What a round! And just the start, isn't it?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Well done, Gary, you've won the first head-to-head.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10So you gain an Egghead for the final round.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12You have got the pick of the bunch there. OK.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16It won't be a shock, I don't think. I'd like to pick Kevin, please.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18So, there we are. Kevin is spoken for now.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Gary has one Egghead to help him in the final.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Gerard doesn't have one yet. We play on.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24The next category is Music.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26And, Gary, as you won that round,

0:10:26 > 0:10:28you can choose whether you want to go first or second in this.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31I'll, predictably, again, carry on and go first, please.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38Gary, Love Resurrection, released in 1984,

0:10:38 > 0:10:40was the first solo single by which artist?

0:10:45 > 0:10:48OK. It's too early for Lisa Stansfield,

0:10:48 > 0:10:51because she was the late '80s.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Unfortunately, I don't actually know.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55I'm just trying to think.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58I've got Eurythmics' greatest hits and does that have any

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Annie Lennox on it? Um...

0:11:01 > 0:11:04My brother will kill me. He loves '80s music. Right, OK.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06We'll say Annie Lennox. Let's see.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10I was going to look for Dave there, who knows all these things. Lisa?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12I probably would have gone the same way actually. Really?

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Well, Annie Lennox was in Eurythmics...

0:11:15 > 0:11:16What was the date on it?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18OK, '84. '84, no, that's too early. OK.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21I thought you said '94, which is what had me confused.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23I think the thing is that as a 51-year-old bloke,

0:11:23 > 0:11:25this was in the charts...

0:11:25 > 0:11:29You're old, I'm young. I know, you don't need to know.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32You're only 38, Gary, for crying out loud. It is Alison Moyet.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Moyet. OK, Gerard. Advantage to you. Here's your question.

0:11:36 > 0:11:42Frederick Loewe, who with Alan Jay Lerner wrote many hit musicals,

0:11:42 > 0:11:46including Brigadoon and My Fair Lady, was born in which country?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Ooh. Now, this is tricky.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54I mean, I really have not heard of him being born outside the US,

0:11:54 > 0:11:55so I have no idea about this,

0:11:55 > 0:11:58so I'll just have to go on the surname, Loewe.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02It's not Danish.

0:12:02 > 0:12:08It sounds more Flemish. I'm going to try Belgium.

0:12:08 > 0:12:09Eggheads? German. German.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11German. Ah.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14So, you're still level. Question two to you, Gary.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18In 1953, which singer notched up a total of 18 weeks in the

0:12:18 > 0:12:23number one spot on the UK singles chart with his song I Believe?

0:12:29 > 0:12:33I Believe... I think it's I Believe In You.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36It's not Mario Lanza, is it?

0:12:36 > 0:12:38I think it's Perry Como.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Ooh. I heard...

0:12:41 > 0:12:43It wasn't a snort of disgust,

0:12:43 > 0:12:46it was a little jump of bemusement from the Eggheads.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Who knows this? It's Frankie Laine.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Frankie Laine.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53No. And it's around the time of the beginning of the charts and

0:12:53 > 0:12:56the birth of rock and roll and all that, isn't it?

0:12:56 > 0:13:02OK. So, Gerard, again you have a chance to get a lead.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Destiny Hope were the original first names of which American

0:13:05 > 0:13:06singing star?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Destiny Hope.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16Hm.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18I know Miley Cyrus is a showbiz child,

0:13:18 > 0:13:23so she could have been given two unusual first names.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24Destiny Hope.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30I'm pretty sure it's not Taylor Swift. Can't be Taylor Swift.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Destiny Hope.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35I'm going to try Ariana Grande.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39No, that's wrong as well.

0:13:39 > 0:13:40Miley Cyrus. Really? Ah.

0:13:42 > 0:13:43OK, Gary.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47The cimbalom, most commonly found in Central Europe,

0:13:47 > 0:13:50is an example of what type of instrument?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well, after the way this round is going,

0:13:58 > 0:14:02it'll come as no surprise that I haven't got a clue.

0:14:02 > 0:14:08Um... Let's say a cimbalom is a miniature accordion.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11It's a hammered dulcimer.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15So, Gerard, you have a chance to take the round.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17We've been here before, OK.

0:14:17 > 0:14:22Formed in 1979, the US record label Sugarhill was best known for its

0:14:22 > 0:14:27important role in the development and popularisation of which

0:14:27 > 0:14:28of these musical genres?

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Sugarhill Gang or something, I've heard...

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Yeah, I associate that name, Sugarhill, with hip-hop.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42So I'm saying hip-hop.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Yes, hip-hop is the answer. Gerard, you're the winner.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Congratulations, you have won the head-to-head.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54And one point was enough to take the music round.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Now, that point earns you an Egghead,

0:14:57 > 0:14:58so which one would you like?

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Obviously, Gary has already got Kevin.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05I shall pick a previous world quiz champion, Pat Gibson.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09Very good. So, this is lining up well for the final, isn't it?

0:15:09 > 0:15:13As it stands, Gary has one Egghead to help him. Gerrard also has one.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16The next category is Arts Books and, Gerard, as the winner of

0:15:16 > 0:15:19the last round, you can choose whether you go first or second.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21I'll go first, please.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24Here's your question.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28Which famous novel starts with the words, "It was the best of

0:15:28 > 0:15:29"times, it was the worst of times"?

0:15:36 > 0:15:40Well, this is a very famous opening from A Tale Of Two Cities.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43A Tale Of Two Cities is quite right.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Gary, the artist Frank Auerbach is best known for his work in

0:15:46 > 0:15:48which field?

0:15:51 > 0:15:53OK. Er...

0:15:53 > 0:15:55I wish I'd gone first here. Um...

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Photography.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00OK.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Judith, what's the famous thing about Auerbach? Impasto.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06He layers on enormously thick paint.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08All dark brown, as far as I can make out.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Almost sculpture with paint, isn't it?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Because blobbing it so far, it comes out of the frame at you. Yes.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Almost 3D because there's such a lot of it.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Yes, but painting is the answer. OK.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21They hang in a frame in art galleries.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25So, you have one, Gerard, and, Gary, ever since the geography round...

0:16:25 > 0:16:28It's gone wrong. What's happened here?

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Gerard, your question.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Which of these American writers was born first?

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Ooh.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44Harper Lee and JD Salinger both died in recent years.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46I'm not sure about John Steinbeck.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51In my mind, John Steinbeck goes further back.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56Because I'm sure his books are sort of set in the Depression

0:16:56 > 0:16:57era of the '30s.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00I think he might have been writing not long after that.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03I'll try John Steinbeck anyway. John Steinbeck.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Now, on dates, I always go to Kevin.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Yeah, it is John Steinbeck. Can you tell us when they were born?

0:17:08 > 0:17:11He was born in 1902.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15Salinger, I think, was 1919, and Harper Lee, 1926.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18So, John Steinbeck it is.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Which means you've got to get this right, Gary.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Which artist was particularly involved with the design

0:17:24 > 0:17:27group called the Omega Workshops,

0:17:27 > 0:17:30from its founding in 1913 until its closure in 1919?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Ah. Um...

0:17:39 > 0:17:42William Morris was Arts Crafts, which was the 19th century,

0:17:42 > 0:17:45so let's exclude him, although again, it could be him.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Um...

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Roger Fry could be a little bit after that. I don't know.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54We'll say Gwen John. Hope to break this losing streak.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Gerard, do you know? By any chance?

0:17:56 > 0:17:57I was thinking Roger Fry,

0:17:57 > 0:18:00although Roger Fry did art criticism as well, didn't he?

0:18:00 > 0:18:02I'm sure he came up with the name of a major art group,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04but otherwise, I'm not really sure.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07The answer is Roger Fry. You just took the wrong...

0:18:07 > 0:18:10You've been unlucky with the guessing, actually, Gary. Bad luck.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14Gerard wins that round. Congratulations, Gerard.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16You've triumphed in another head-to-head.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21So you can choose a second Egghead. You've already got Pat.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Who else would you like? I'll pick Barry, please.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28All right, so Gerard has two Eggheads, Pat and Barry.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Gary has one, so it is a tight contest.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34Gary, I'm feeling we need a point. Let's turn it around now.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37The next category is Sport.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39I don't know which of you is the sport person.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Gerard, you won the previous round.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47Is this your subject or not? I won it last time, but it was more...

0:18:47 > 0:18:49luck than judgment, I think.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Well, you won the last round, so you can say first or second.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54I shall go...second.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00OK, so we're on Sport, Gary. Good luck to you both. Here we go.

0:19:00 > 0:19:04Your first question - in which US city is the basketball team

0:19:04 > 0:19:06called the Nuggets based?

0:19:10 > 0:19:11OK, um...

0:19:11 > 0:19:14They always say in quizzing if something comes into your head

0:19:14 > 0:19:17before you see the options, you should go with it.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21Um, so...what came into my mind was Denver, so I'll say Denver.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Denver is right. Well done.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Back with a bounce.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28Gerard, which of these were removed from the new game of Rugby League

0:19:28 > 0:19:31in 1897?

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Hmm...

0:19:40 > 0:19:45Substitutions... I'm not sure any sport had substitutions that early.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47I'm going to try line-outs, Jeremy.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Barry will know this. Line-outs is right.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Yes, line-outs is right.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Second question, Gary.

0:19:55 > 0:20:00Over how many obstacles is an Olympic 110-metre hurdles race

0:20:00 > 0:20:01typically run?

0:20:04 > 0:20:08Um, 12 would obviously mean they'd have to be spaced very close

0:20:08 > 0:20:12to each other, which strikes me as a little bit unlikely.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13Um...

0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'm just trying to picture it in my head.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20I'm trying to count them going over, which...

0:20:20 > 0:20:23is relying on a very faulty memory, I think. Um...

0:20:24 > 0:20:28They do it in quite quick times as well, so I think the lower one

0:20:28 > 0:20:30has to be more likely, so I'm going to say eight.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33You've got the logic of that completely, but is it right? Gerard?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36I think it's ten for either 110 or 400 metres.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39I think they both run over ten hurdles.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Ten is right.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44So, Gerard, you have a chance to take the lead.

0:20:44 > 0:20:48Which golfer announced that the 2016 US Masters tournament

0:20:48 > 0:20:50would be his last as a player?

0:20:50 > 0:20:51Which golfer?

0:20:55 > 0:21:00I still think Tiger Woods has got something left in him yet.

0:21:00 > 0:21:06Phil Mickelson, I don't think he's ready to retire. Tom Watson is...

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Been in the game an awful long time,

0:21:08 > 0:21:10so I'm going to try Tom Watson.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Anyone know this? Lisa?

0:21:12 > 0:21:14It's a toss-up between Watson. I vaguely remember something

0:21:14 > 0:21:16about Tiger Woods, but I'd have gone for Watson.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Tom Watson is right.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20So you are in the lead, Gary. You need

0:21:20 > 0:21:23to get this right to stay in this round.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26The opening stage of the inaugural Tour de France

0:21:26 > 0:21:29began in Paris and ended in which city?

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Um...

0:21:38 > 0:21:40That's almost, um...

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Yeah, there's no real way I will know that, to be honest.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Nantes is closer to Paris, Lyon is a bigger city,

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Toulouse is furthest away.

0:21:51 > 0:21:52Um...

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Let's try Nantes.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Pat knows. They cycled from Paris to Lyon - it's almost incredible.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00It's an enormous distance.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04How far is that roughly? About 250 to 300 miles.

0:22:04 > 0:22:05It's an enormous distance.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08They thought it was a good idea to do this again and again and again?

0:22:08 > 0:22:10So the upshot is it's Lyon.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13And that means there is no way back in this round,

0:22:13 > 0:22:18so we say congratulations, Gerard, you've won another head-to-head.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22So, Gerard, you've got Pat and Barry.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24You can choose, because Gary's got Kevin,

0:22:24 > 0:22:27you can choose either Lisa or Judith.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31Because...I don't know her as well, I'm going to try Lisa.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32Good with that, Lisa? Always.

0:22:32 > 0:22:37So, Gerard has got three Eggheads to help him in the final, Gary has one.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41Need to right this disadvantage in the next round, Gary.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43And the subject is Film TV.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Because Gerard won the last round, you can choose first or second.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47I'll go first, please.

0:22:50 > 0:22:56Film TV. Good luck, gentlemen. Last round before we play our final.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00In an episode of Friends, which character wanted to change

0:23:00 > 0:23:04her name to Princess Consuela Banana Hammock?

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Well, that is out there and strange,

0:23:10 > 0:23:13I think that can only be Phoebe Buffay.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Phoebe is the correct answer.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17OK, Gary, your question.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21In various series of Strictly Come Dancing,

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Ainsley Harriet, Michael Vaughan and Audley Harrison were

0:23:24 > 0:23:27partnered with which professional dancer?

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Um...

0:23:35 > 0:23:40Unfortunately, those were all series that I did not watch.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Obviously, I watched the series you were on, Jeremy,

0:23:42 > 0:23:44with great interest.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Um...

0:23:46 > 0:23:49It's, yeah... Um... Audley Harrison...

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Ola Jordan is quite small - that would have been quite amusing,

0:23:52 > 0:23:55wouldn't it, a big guy with her?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58I don't know again. Ola Jordan.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02Oh, OK, you've gone for the one... I thought you were ruling her out.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03The answer is Natalie Lowe,

0:24:03 > 0:24:06who's the very statuesque Australian,

0:24:06 > 0:24:08who is probably almost six foot, I should think.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12Lisa? She's a good 5'10 and for that reason, she normally ends up with

0:24:12 > 0:24:15people like Audley Harrison, who is just enormous.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16It's Natalie Lowe, Gary,

0:24:16 > 0:24:18so you didn't get that right.

0:24:18 > 0:24:19On to Gerard.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Who provided the singing voice for Pat in the 2014 film

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Postman Pat - The Movie?

0:24:31 > 0:24:33# Postman Pat, Postman Pat... #

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Trying to get into the mind-set!

0:24:37 > 0:24:40In the film, I think he enters a singing contest, you know,

0:24:40 > 0:24:42an X Factor type...

0:24:42 > 0:24:44I don't think it's going to be...

0:24:44 > 0:24:47I can't see Mick Hucknall getting involved in anything like that.

0:24:47 > 0:24:52So it's between Ronan Keating and Gary Barlow.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54I'm going to try Ronan Keating here.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Yeah, it's trying to picture somebody who would sing Postman Pat

0:24:57 > 0:24:59with great conviction.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I think Ronan Keating is that sort of man.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04He is. He would do it. You're right, it is Ronan Keating.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07And, Gerard, you did sing when you were auditioning for Eggheads,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09is that right? I did indeed. Can you just give us a little burst

0:25:09 > 0:25:12of Postman Pat or anything in your repertoire? Yeah, well...

0:25:12 > 0:25:16# Postman Pat and his Black and white cat

0:25:16 > 0:25:18# Early in the morning Just as day is dawning

0:25:18 > 0:25:21# He picks up all the post bags in his van. #

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Brilliant!

0:25:23 > 0:25:24OK.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27All right, serious matters, Gary.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31I know this is difficult, because you are two down in the force.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33But it's not unrescuable, not by any manner of means.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37This is the moment for the comeback. You've got to get this right.

0:25:37 > 0:25:42Which musician is played by Tom Hiddleston in the film

0:25:42 > 0:25:45I Saw The Light, released in the UK in 2016?

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Like most people, I watched him in The Night Manager

0:25:53 > 0:25:54and really enjoyed that.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Unfortunately, I've not even heard of this film.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Um... I can see him...

0:26:00 > 0:26:02I can see him playing Hank Williams.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Let's just say Hank Williams and leave it at that.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Gerard?

0:26:06 > 0:26:10I think there's been a previous film about Hank Williams.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12I don't think they'd make another one so soon.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15I would have gone for Conway Twitty myself.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18No, Hank Williams is correct. Oh! OK!

0:26:18 > 0:26:20OK. So you're still in it.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23But if Gerald gets this right, he's won the round.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27How many Oscars did the 1941 film Citizen Kane win?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34I was unaware that Citizen Kane had won ANY Oscars.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36So...

0:26:36 > 0:26:39bearing that in mind, I'm going to say one.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Interesting, because as a layman,

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I just think it's the best film of all time

0:26:43 > 0:26:45and, therefore, it would have won three.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49So I would have gone the other way. Who can tell us what it won?

0:26:49 > 0:26:50No, no, I can't remember.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Um... It didn't do terribly well. Can you remember?

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Cinematography for Mankiewicz?

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Best Writing, Original Screenplay... OK.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01..Mankiewicz, so the name was bang on.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05It's Screenplay, not Cinematography.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Yeah. But you're right, given that we now think of it as the best.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10But your logic was good, though, Gerard.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14No taking anything away from that. One is the right answer,

0:27:14 > 0:27:16which means that you've taken this round.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20And we say congratulations - the final head-to-head is yours.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25And I can almost choose the Egghead for you,

0:27:25 > 0:27:28but I think we should go through the motions. There's only one left

0:27:28 > 0:27:31and one of the best - Judith, the million-pounder.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36Yeah. Strong subjects - botany and rocket science.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Do you remember when you beat the rocket scientist?

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I did, and I also beat Edwina Currie on Politics.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Yes, so we've had some standout moments. That was a good one.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48So, Gary, you have got Kevin in the final round

0:27:48 > 0:27:51and, Gerard, you've managed to amass Pat and Barry and Lisa and Judith.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54Let us now play the final round.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59So this is what we have been playing towards.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03It is time to find out who is one step closer to becoming an Egghead

0:28:03 > 0:28:05and who will be eliminated from our search.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07I will ask each of you five questions in turn.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12In this final round, you will have the backing

0:28:12 > 0:28:14of the Eggheads you've won over the course of the show.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18So, Gary, you have got the great Kevin right behind you

0:28:18 > 0:28:23and, Gerard, you've actually got Pat and Lisa and Judith and Barry.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26You will be able to call on your respective Eggheads for advice

0:28:26 > 0:28:28before giving an answer to a question.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31You can ask each of them for help only once, though.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34You could use more than one for one question,

0:28:34 > 0:28:36if you need to, Gerard.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39Use them wisely, that's the main thing.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43This is it. If you win this round, you're through to the Grand Final.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46So, Gerard, you won the last round,

0:28:46 > 0:28:48you now get to choose whether you want to play first or second.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50I'll go first, please.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57Good luck. Here is your first question.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01The Seram Sea is part of which ocean?

0:29:05 > 0:29:06Seram...

0:29:06 > 0:29:09Well, I've not heard of it.

0:29:09 > 0:29:14It doesn't...really remind me of any particular place.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18It sounds Indian, but I'm not going to say that as an answer.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22I'm going to go to Pat on this one, please.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24OK, Pat is very, very good on his maps.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27You've been called in on the first question, Pat.

0:29:27 > 0:29:31The Seram Sea, which can be spelt with an S or a C,

0:29:31 > 0:29:33is part of which ocean?

0:29:33 > 0:29:35I'm not absolutely definite on this.

0:29:35 > 0:29:39Um, I have a feeling that it's in the middle of

0:29:39 > 0:29:42the Indonesian Archipelago, there may even be an island called Seram.

0:29:42 > 0:29:48As far as I remember, um, most of the contents of Indonesia,

0:29:48 > 0:29:52most of the water contents there, I think are normally viewed

0:29:52 > 0:29:54as being Pacific rather than Indian.

0:29:54 > 0:29:59It's a very intricate archipelago with all sorts of little sub-seas.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02I'm pretty sure Seram is an Indonesian island

0:30:02 > 0:30:04and there is a Seram Sea.

0:30:04 > 0:30:05So, the only question is,

0:30:05 > 0:30:08do you call it Indian or do you call it Pacific?

0:30:08 > 0:30:10Because the country of Indonesia

0:30:10 > 0:30:12is sort of on the border between the two.

0:30:12 > 0:30:16I'm not entirely certain, but if I had to answer,

0:30:16 > 0:30:17I would answer Pacific.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Right. OK, so, Pat has given you his guidance.

0:30:21 > 0:30:22Thanks. Yup. OK.

0:30:22 > 0:30:27You can accept or reject or ask another Egghead, or whatever.

0:30:27 > 0:30:28I'm going to play the odds,

0:30:28 > 0:30:31I'm going to go for Pacific, please, Jeremy.

0:30:31 > 0:30:32The answer is correct.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Well done, Pat.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Gary, back to you.

0:30:38 > 0:30:43Bright's disease is inflammation of which organ of the human body?

0:30:46 > 0:30:48Speaking to a GP.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50Fortunately, for my GMC registration,

0:30:50 > 0:30:51I do happen to know that

0:30:51 > 0:30:55Bright's disease is definitely a disease of the kidney.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58Ha-ha! Kidney is correct.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00This is interesting - the first question,

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Gerard uses an Egghead,

0:31:02 > 0:31:04the first question, you don't use an Egghead,

0:31:04 > 0:31:07so it gets a little bit more even, just a little.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Gerard, your second question.

0:31:09 > 0:31:10On a suit of armour,

0:31:10 > 0:31:14which of these body parts was protected by the besague?

0:31:18 > 0:31:21Besague, Gerard, is B-E-S-A-G-U-E.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23B-E-S-A-G-U-E.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29I can't see any linguistic root. I mean, "bese" are arms.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31But, um...

0:31:31 > 0:31:33Hmm.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Besague...

0:31:36 > 0:31:39Well, I think I'm going to have to try Barry on this.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41Barry, you've been called in.

0:31:41 > 0:31:46Right. Well, I know a few of the various bits that go to make

0:31:46 > 0:31:49a suit of armour, but there are just so many of them.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52A full suit of armour is actually called a panoply,

0:31:52 > 0:31:56but that doesn't help us with this question.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58But I just have a glimmer

0:31:58 > 0:32:02at the end of my mind that besague has something to do with armpits,

0:32:02 > 0:32:05but it's a very, very faintest glimmer

0:32:05 > 0:32:08and that's all I can offer, I'm afraid. I really don't know.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11OK, so, he is, I won't even say leaning,

0:32:11 > 0:32:14he's got a twinkle or a glimmer. I've got a feeling I would have...

0:32:14 > 0:32:16I've read a few bits of armour as well,

0:32:16 > 0:32:20I get the feeling I would have heard of it if it was a shin guard.

0:32:20 > 0:32:21Um...

0:32:21 > 0:32:22Chin?

0:32:26 > 0:32:28I suppose it would need a special joint.

0:32:28 > 0:32:29I'm going to try armpit.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31Armpit, you say? OK.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Gary, do you know this one?

0:32:33 > 0:32:35I would have said chin, but I don't know it. Chin, right.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37Armpit is correct.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41You can rest easy now, Barry, back there!

0:32:41 > 0:32:44We so want to get these answers right for the contestant.

0:32:44 > 0:32:48I know you do, I know you do. OK, Gary, your question.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52Arthur, Prince of Wales, the elder brother of Henry VIII

0:32:52 > 0:32:54and first husband of Catherine of Aragon,

0:32:54 > 0:32:58died aged 15 in 1502,

0:32:58 > 0:33:00in which castle?

0:33:05 > 0:33:06Oh, this is a very, very tricky one,

0:33:06 > 0:33:09because I certainly have a big inkling myself.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11Big inkling.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14Um, and I've only got Kevin once.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Had my opponent got any wrong so far, I'd probably go for this,

0:33:18 > 0:33:20but he hasn't.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24Therefore, I'm going to go to Kevin and ask him for confirmation.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26Your logic being because he hasn't got any wrong,

0:33:26 > 0:33:29you can't afford to get any wrong? Absolutely. I see, OK.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31So, Kevin, Arthur, Prince of Wales,

0:33:31 > 0:33:34the elder brother of Henry VIII and the first husband of

0:33:34 > 0:33:41Catherine of Aragon, died aged 15 in 1502, in which castle?

0:33:41 > 0:33:44I believe it's Ludlow.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46I think it's Ludlow.

0:33:46 > 0:33:50I'm not 100% certain, but I think it's Ludlow. Right, OK.

0:33:50 > 0:33:54I know you would indicate much more uncertainty if you felt it.

0:33:54 > 0:33:57So, Gary, he says Ludlow. You can, of course, reject that.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Is that what you suspected?

0:33:59 > 0:34:00Well, it's obvious to say it now,

0:34:00 > 0:34:02but I did think it was Ludlow as well.

0:34:02 > 0:34:06So, if Kevin thinks it, then yes, I'm going to go with Ludlow. OK.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08In a way, it's a shame,

0:34:08 > 0:34:10because you've used your Egghead to confirm what you were thinking

0:34:10 > 0:34:13yourself, but I know you don't want to get it wrong, above all.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Ludlow is correct, well done.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20Oh, what a tight contest this is! Gary is now all out of Eggheads.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23You still have Lisa and Judith there.

0:34:23 > 0:34:28And here is your third question, with the scores at 2-2.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29No daylight between you yet.

0:34:29 > 0:34:34Gerard, which Second World War pilot, who died in 2016,

0:34:34 > 0:34:37flew more aircraft types than anyone else

0:34:37 > 0:34:43and made a record 2,407 aircraft carrier landings?

0:34:52 > 0:34:54There's not a lot... No...

0:34:54 > 0:34:57I'm not very good on World War II pilots, I must admit.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00I'm going to go to Judith on this.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04Judith, you've been called in.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07I saw an interview with him on the telly,

0:35:07 > 0:35:10if not two interviews with him,

0:35:10 > 0:35:13and I'm fairly sure it was Eric Brown.

0:35:13 > 0:35:19And that was obviously before 2016, when he died?

0:35:19 > 0:35:21Yes, before he died. There was a wonderful...

0:35:21 > 0:35:23I mean, it was a very long interview

0:35:23 > 0:35:25and he was an extraordinary character. OK.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27And I just pray that I've got his name right,

0:35:27 > 0:35:31but this is what came to my mind.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35Right, so Judith has gone straight there with a measure of certainty.

0:35:35 > 0:35:36Does that help you, Gerard?

0:35:36 > 0:35:39You know, I think I might have seen a bit of that interview,

0:35:39 > 0:35:42but I just didn't take his name in at the time.

0:35:42 > 0:35:43So, um...

0:35:43 > 0:35:47I'm going to go with Judith's inkling and say Eric Brown.

0:35:47 > 0:35:48Eric Brown.

0:35:48 > 0:35:52So, it's a very, very tight contest, no-one can afford a wrong answer.

0:35:52 > 0:35:57The Second World War pilot who made the record number of landings,

0:35:57 > 0:35:59flew more aircraft than anyone,

0:35:59 > 0:36:02was Eric Brown. Well done, Gerard. Well done, Judith.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Thank goodness for that! Well done, you.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Decisive intervention!

0:36:07 > 0:36:10So, Gerard has only one Egghead left, Lisa,

0:36:10 > 0:36:12and, Gary, you are playing alone now.

0:36:12 > 0:36:16Five questions. Unusually for Eggheads, we go to five.

0:36:16 > 0:36:23You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet was a 1974 UK hit single for which group?

0:36:29 > 0:36:30OK.

0:36:30 > 0:36:31Um...

0:36:33 > 0:36:35Now, this is bearing in mind that we had

0:36:35 > 0:36:38a music round earlier where I got every single question wrong.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Um...

0:36:41 > 0:36:45And if you had asked me which is my worst musical decade,

0:36:45 > 0:36:46I would say the 1970s.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51So, that's not a promising start, is it? Um...

0:36:51 > 0:36:55Now, I'm just trying to think

0:36:55 > 0:36:58if I can picture the name of this song with...

0:36:58 > 0:37:00with anything. Um...

0:37:02 > 0:37:04I don't know if Bachman-Turner Overdrive...

0:37:04 > 0:37:06They've got a very prog name, haven't they?

0:37:06 > 0:37:11And the song certainly isn't very prog. Um...

0:37:11 > 0:37:16Yeah, um, by a very flimsy process of elimination,

0:37:16 > 0:37:17I'm going to have to say Smokie.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20Smokie is your answer.

0:37:20 > 0:37:22This is right up my street, as it happens,

0:37:22 > 0:37:26because this is all stuff that Radio 2 plays!

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Er...it is Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Yeah? Well, OK.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Smokie -

0:37:33 > 0:37:35well, their famous one is Living Next Door To Alice,

0:37:35 > 0:37:40Stumblin' In and... What else did Smokie do?

0:37:40 > 0:37:42I don't know, but Bachman-Turner Overdrive,

0:37:42 > 0:37:44I usually associate with Harry Enfield.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47When him and Paul Whitehouse are doing Smashie and Nicey,

0:37:47 > 0:37:49they always end every sketch with,

0:37:49 > 0:37:51"And now it's Bachman-Turner Overdrive

0:37:51 > 0:37:55"with You Ain't Seen N-Nothing Yet." That's it. Cut straight to that.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57OK! So there is that reference as well.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00OK, so, you've got one wrong now, Gary,

0:38:00 > 0:38:04and it means that Gerard is somewhat in control,

0:38:04 > 0:38:06because he also has another Egghead still to play, Lisa.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09Here is your question, Gerard, fourth question to you.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Which comedy actor, born in 1917,

0:38:11 > 0:38:16made his film debut as Percy Lamb opposite Margaret Rutherford

0:38:16 > 0:38:22and Petula Clark in the 1954 film The Runaway Bus?

0:38:26 > 0:38:291954, so he's 37.

0:38:31 > 0:38:32I don't think...

0:38:33 > 0:38:37I really don't think Benny Hill or Dick Emery would go in that role,

0:38:37 > 0:38:40but I've got a recording of Frankie Howerd

0:38:40 > 0:38:42doing some comedy song in the '50s...

0:38:47 > 0:38:50I'm going to go with Frankie Howerd.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52So, you're not using Lisa for this? No, I'm going to go for it.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Saving her.

0:38:54 > 0:38:55Frankie Howerd is correct.

0:38:55 > 0:38:58You're a very hard man to beat, that's for sure.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00So, Gerard has four points.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02We are doing five questions here.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06So if you get this wrong, there is no way of overtaking Gerard.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08You must get it right.

0:39:08 > 0:39:13What is the technical term for a sympathetic pregnancy

0:39:13 > 0:39:17where the father of the baby starts to experience

0:39:17 > 0:39:20the pregnancy symptoms of the mother?

0:39:30 > 0:39:33I want to say you've been lucky with your medical questions,

0:39:33 > 0:39:34but I don't know! No, no.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37This is not something that you actually come across as a GP,

0:39:37 > 0:39:39it's not something that somebody comes in and says,

0:39:39 > 0:39:41"I have the pregnancy symptoms of my partner."

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Um...

0:39:45 > 0:39:50See, there's gravid, which is Latin for pregnant,

0:39:50 > 0:39:52and there is that in the Degrivade syndrome.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Um...

0:39:54 > 0:40:00However, there is something that is drawing me inextricably and

0:40:00 > 0:40:04probably entirely incorrectly to Couvade syndrome, um...

0:40:07 > 0:40:10So, um, yeah...

0:40:10 > 0:40:13Not been very lucky today at all and I think that will probably

0:40:13 > 0:40:16continue, but let's just put it out there and say Couvade syndrome.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18Couvade syndrome.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20See if Kevin knows. Kevin?

0:40:20 > 0:40:24No, I don't know, Jeremy. I can't say I've come across this, so...

0:40:24 > 0:40:29Yeah, again, like Gary, I don't like that Degrivade there when it's

0:40:29 > 0:40:31so close to gravid, um,

0:40:31 > 0:40:36I'd probably tend to regard that as a red herring in there.

0:40:36 > 0:40:40So, if Gary has got an inkling, that could well be it,

0:40:40 > 0:40:43but I can't say any of those mean anything to me.

0:40:43 > 0:40:49And gravid meaning...? It is pregnant, in Latin. I see.

0:40:49 > 0:40:54If you get this wrong, the contest is over and Gerard has won.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57If you've got it right, we play on.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01You can't consult Kevin, because you've already used him.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03You said Couvade, I wonder if

0:41:03 > 0:41:05anyone knows on the Eggheads side over here?

0:41:05 > 0:41:09Yes, it is definitely Couvade. I've heard of Couvade, yes.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13Yeah, Gerard as well, they all confirm it. Couvade is right.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15So, well done, you've got three points now.

0:41:15 > 0:41:16Just one behind Gerard.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18Gerard, you're on four.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21You can clinch it now with your fifth question.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23And you've still got Lisa.

0:41:23 > 0:41:29Where on the human body can the tragus be found? T-R-A-G-U-S.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35Tragus...

0:41:36 > 0:41:40I have a feeling it is part of the ear,

0:41:40 > 0:41:42it's where the workings of the outer...

0:41:42 > 0:41:44It's part of the outer ear that hangs down, I think,

0:41:44 > 0:41:46from the top of the lobe.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48It's something like that.

0:41:48 > 0:41:53So, no, I don't think I need to use the Egghead, I'll try ear.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Ear is your answer.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57You don't need to go to Lisa on this?

0:41:57 > 0:42:01No, I'm pretty sure that tragus is part of the ear. OK.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04Confident play. Lisa, what would you have said?

0:42:04 > 0:42:08I would have said A, that it's this little bit here, I believe,

0:42:08 > 0:42:11is your tragus, and B, that he's absolutely right.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13OK.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16If you've got this right, you've won.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19Gary, the doctor - is he right?

0:42:19 > 0:42:20He's absolutely right.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22And, Lisa, you're right, it is that part of the ear.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24So, the ear is the correct answer, we say congratulations,

0:42:24 > 0:42:26Gerard, you have won!

0:42:32 > 0:42:36With five out of five and using only three of your four Eggheads.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Well played! Thank you.

0:42:39 > 0:42:43Were you playing above your normal game or just within it?

0:42:43 > 0:42:45Pff! Well... You know that much, don't you?

0:42:45 > 0:42:47I... I know some things...

0:42:48 > 0:42:51You know a lot. I knew everything there.

0:42:51 > 0:42:52How was that, Gary?

0:42:52 > 0:42:54He was unbeatable today.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56I couldn't do very much there, could I?

0:42:56 > 0:42:58You played well too, but he's very, very good.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01Is he Egghead good? We shall see.

0:43:01 > 0:43:03Congratulations, Gerard, you've proved once again that

0:43:03 > 0:43:06winning comes as naturally to you as it does to our Eggheads,

0:43:06 > 0:43:09which means you are through to the Grand Final and that much

0:43:09 > 0:43:12closer to becoming an Egghead.

0:43:12 > 0:43:16Just one more match could see you get a permanent seat at that desk.

0:43:16 > 0:43:19Join us soon to find out who our next Grand Finalist will be.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Until then, goodbye.

0:43:50 > 0:43:55You see clips of a pile of bricks causing anger in a gallery.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57And a pickled shark floating in a tank.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59Then a voiceover asks you...

0:43:59 > 0:44:02"Is art just an idea?"
