0:00:12 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18The question is, do you have the brains to join them?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to Make Me An Egghead.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29We've launched a nationwide search to find
0:00:29 > 0:00:31the greatest quiz brains in Britain.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Over the past few weeks, we've seen contestants battle it
0:00:34 > 0:00:37out to win the ultimate prize for quizzing enthusiasts -
0:00:37 > 0:00:41a place on the most fearsome quiz team in history, the Eggheads!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Here you are. We are.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47And, for once, you're able to watch and enjoy, aren't you, really?
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Yeah...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Until the final round.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54We've reached the semifinal stage and now only
0:00:54 > 0:00:57a handful of people remain in the hunt to become an Egghead.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00So let us meet today's contestants.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Hello, I'm Steve Cook.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I'm a self-employed distributor
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and I come from Bolsover, near Chesterfield.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Hi, I'm Ian Bayley.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I'm a university lecturer from Oxfordshire.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Ian and Steve, welcome.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And well done, both of you, for getting into semifinals.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And this is, I know, a major contest.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Steve, you came top of all the heats.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21The words "flash" and "pan" spring to mind, Jeremy.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Ian, you came fourth in the heats, so you're very much in the
0:01:23 > 0:01:26green territory, which meant you came through to the semifinal.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Steve, you won all three rounds in the heats you were in.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30You take questions as they fall,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32and they fell nice for me that on that particular day.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Ian, you came number seven in the World Quizzing Championships.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38How was it to be in that contest?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39It was brilliant.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45So this is a quiz where there are 50 to 100 venues
0:01:45 > 0:01:50across the world and there are 2,000 people taking part.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And, of course, I was very, very pleased with the score I got.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Steve, you're Brain of Mensa 2014.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Yeah, the year that nobody showed up, that's right!
0:01:58 > 0:01:59LAUGHING: You're too modest!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And we bring the Mensa versus Mastermind Champion 2011.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06So we've got a very interesting meeting of minds here.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Maybe, we'll see!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09OK, sense the nervousness here.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Well, good luck to you both.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Playing under the eagle eyes of these Eggheads here.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17This is where you need to prove you could be one yourself.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Just like on Eggheads,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21both of you will compete over a series of different rounds where
0:02:21 > 0:02:24your knowledge will be tested on the regular Eggheads categories.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28So, the first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Sport.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I'm going to ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on Sport
0:02:31 > 0:02:35in turn, whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37The prize for winning a round on Make Me an Egghead,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40as you know, is you can choose one of these Eggheads.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42You've got five rounds, so by the end,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44all the Eggheads will be chosen.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46The ones you choose will then work with you in the final -
0:02:46 > 0:02:48that's the crucial thing.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Now, Steve, as our highest ranked player in this semifinal,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54you can decide whether you play first or second on Sport.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Let's get it over with, Jeremy, I'll go first, please.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, here is your first question, good luck.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Which football club is nicknamed the Rams?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Is it...?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I think if I got this one wrong, Jeremy,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I would never be allowed back in the county.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18And speaking of counties, it is Derby County.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Derby County it is. It's kind of local for you, is it?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Yeah, that fell very nice. If you keep them like that...
0:03:24 > 0:03:27All right. Sport to Ian.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31In which country was the tennis player Garbine Muguruza born?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Right, OK.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43She's thought of as being Spanish, and I think
0:03:43 > 0:03:47that's the country that she plays for.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I think I read that she is Venezuelan.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56Of course, Argentine is possible, but then maybe that's
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Gabriela Sabatini I'm thinking of, from a very different era.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02So...
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I think if I feel I've read it somewhere,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08then I might be right.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10So I will go Venezuela.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Eggheads? Yes.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Yes, Venezuela's right. Well done.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Hard one to guess, actually,
0:04:15 > 0:04:16so you did very well there, Ian.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22Back to you, Steve. The Texas Rangers Major League baseball team
0:04:22 > 0:04:25moved to which city in 1972?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Baseball's not my thing at all, Jeremy.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I don't follow American sports, which is not great at the moment.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38So, this is a one-in-three shot.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I'm just wondering, Arlington's there.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Unless there's a place called Arlington in Texas,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I thought it was in Virginia.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50So, they usually tend to move away from the home state.
0:04:50 > 0:04:56I just... I know it seems like a long way to move, but...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I will go for Arlington with no conviction at all.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Interesting, on the basis that...?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03They're not in Texas. Which is completely illogical, I know.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06That they're not in Texas? Help us out here.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Arlington is in Texas. Oh, is it!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10There's more than one Arlington.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Right, yeah. So, right, that's my ignorance.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15The played at the Arlington Stadium.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18So, I believe Arlington's the right answer.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19It is the right answer.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20JEREMY LAUGHS
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I was just trying to work out, yes, your logic is that...
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I thought that usually when they relocate,
0:05:25 > 0:05:26the move to a different state.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29And obviously I thought Arlington, Virginia.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I mean, Texas is obviously a big place, so yeah, complete fluke, that.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Sorry, Ian. That's like the tennis
0:05:34 > 0:05:37where the ball hits the net corner and just goes over.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40OK, Ian, your question to draw level.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Not counting amateur titles, which golfer
0:05:43 > 0:05:47has the third highest number of major victories in a career?
0:05:53 > 0:05:59OK, so, the one with the most is Nicklaus with 18.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03So what's making me thinking not Vardon,
0:06:03 > 0:06:09is that he was from the amateur era, so I'm thinking not Vardon.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14And then, a choice between Player and Hagen.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I think the right thing to do, since we talk about third,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20is to go for whichever of those I think
0:06:20 > 0:06:24has got the most, on the basis that maybe Tiger Woods,
0:06:24 > 0:06:29who did well in the '90s, the noughties - is probably second.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35I think Gary Player is the one who has got the third most,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37so I will go Gary Player.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Kevin, can you help here?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39It's Walter Hagan.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46I think he... Nicklaus, 18. Woods, 14. Hagan, 11.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I think Gary Player's on nine.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Yeah, the answer is Walter Hagen. All right, OK.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Third question, Steve.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Get this right, you've taken the round.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Between 1890 in 2015, Gloucestershire, Somerset and
0:07:01 > 0:07:06which other team have never won cricket's County Championship?
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Right... Derbyshire...? Have Derbyshire won it?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21I don't really know again, you'll be surprised to learn.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28But for some reason I don't think Derbyshire have won it,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31so, I'm prepared to be pointed out that I'm wrong at any second,
0:07:31 > 0:07:32but I will say Derbyshire.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Dave?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I believe that Derbyshire and Hampshire have both won the
0:07:39 > 0:07:42County Championship, so my answer would be Northamptonshire.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Can you give us the dates?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Derbyshire, 1936.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52And Hampshire was 1961 and 1973.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55So the answer is Northamptonshire.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59And we go back to you, Ian. You need to get this right. OK.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02British athlete Don Thompson won the gold medal
0:08:02 > 0:08:04for the men's 50 kilometre walk
0:08:04 > 0:08:07when which city staged the Olympic Games?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13OK, I think I know this one.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I think it was in 1960.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Which, if so, means it that it's Rome.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Helsinki was '52.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Berlin, '36 - even before that.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26This think I remember the story about that,
0:08:26 > 0:08:31that he trained in his bathroom with all of the...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37..all of the heaters on.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41So that he could imagine what it would be like to be in Rome
0:08:41 > 0:08:42and walking around a lot.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47So, yeah, I think this has fallen luckily for me.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I think it's Rome.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50OK, Rome is your answer.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52So if he trained in his bathroom,
0:08:52 > 0:08:53you think he'd keep bumping into the wall!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55LAUGHTER He maybe had a treadmill.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57He had a treadmill? Oh, I see.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Or maybe that's the flaw in my explanation.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00JEREMY LAUGHS
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's a good story, though.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Rome is the right answer, well done. Yes.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06So you're equal after three questions.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08This is very tight, very tense here.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11We go to sudden death, gets a bit harder because I don't give you
0:09:11 > 0:09:13different options. So, Steve, your question.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The basketball star, Steph Curry,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20won the NBA championship with which team in 2015?
0:09:21 > 0:09:222015?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I'm going to say... the Golden State Warriors.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31The Golden State Warriors is the right answer.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33To stay in, Ian,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36which St Helens Rugby League player won the
0:09:36 > 0:09:42Super League Man Of Steel award in both 2001 and 2002?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47HE SIGHS
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Right, just trying to think of important names from that era.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55I think Sinfield was important, but he was Leeds.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Long, maybe.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Yeah, I think there was someone called Long and I think that
0:10:00 > 0:10:02this is around about the right time.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I think it's Sean Long.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Sean Long. OK. Let's see of the Eggheads know.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Paul Sculthorpe.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Paul Sculthorpe is the correct answer.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14So, no way back in this round, Ian.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18We say congratulations, Steve, you've won on sudden death.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24The first head-to-head is yours. So, choose an Egghead.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26You've got all five to choose from.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Well, because he did such a good job for me last time,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I will choose Kevin, please.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33OK, so as it stands, Steve has Kevin to help them in the final.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Ian has no-one so far.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37The next category is Film TV
0:10:37 > 0:10:38and, Steve, cos you won the first round,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40do you want to go first or second?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Let's stick with the winning formula, Jeremy - I'll go first, please.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Your first question, Steve.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Which is actress starred opposite Rock Hudson
0:10:51 > 0:10:55in the films Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back and Send Me No Flowers?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Yeah, I do know this one and that's Doris Day.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Doris Day is the right answer, well done.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Ian, your question.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Which writer created the television drama Last Tango In Halifax?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Ooh! OK, so this one I don't know, I'm afraid.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28And I don't know much about any of those three people.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31There's something about Wainwright that seems familiar
0:11:31 > 0:11:33in this context, and I don't know why.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I think I'll go for Sally Wainwright.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40The answer is Sally Wainwright. Well done.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Steve, your question.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Which character from the Scandinavian TV drama is
0:11:44 > 0:11:47played by the actress Sophie Grabol?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I barely understood the question.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58The only name that means anything to me on that board is Sarah Lund.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59And so that's what I'm going to say.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01It's pointless thinking about it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Sarah Lund is your answer. Eggheads?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Quite right. And the drama is?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08The Killing. The Killing.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Ian, to catch up. In which film
0:12:10 > 0:12:13does Tom Cruise say the line, "You complete me"?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20OK...
0:12:20 > 0:12:26Um, in Rain Man, I don't think there was a romance in that.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Jerry Maguire, I associate that with the corny line,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33"You had me at hello."
0:12:33 > 0:12:37And that's what's making me think that maybe there's another corny
0:12:37 > 0:12:42line in the movie. I will go with Jerry Maguire.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44It's the right answer.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48So, 2-2. Let's see, Steve, if you can take the lead.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53In which film did Oliver Reed play the role of Ivan Dragomiloff?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Well, it's not The Devils because I think he was Urbain Grandier
0:13:03 > 0:13:07in that one. Assassination Bureau, it could well have been that.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It's a film I don't really recall.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13But because I think Royal Flash is to do with...
0:13:13 > 0:13:14It could be Crimean War, I suppose...
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I'll try Royal Flash, it's a one-in-two shot.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20OK, anybody help?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22The Assassination Bureau.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25The Assassination Bureau is the answer.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Which is about what, Barry?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I think it was about a group of assassins who were bumping off
0:13:29 > 0:13:32various people in Europe at the turn of the century.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34OK, and Ivan was one of the assassins?
0:13:34 > 0:13:35He was one of the assassins.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39All right, there we go. So, two out of three.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Ian, if you get this right, you've taken the round.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45For which film did the director Lewis Milestone
0:13:45 > 0:13:47win his second Academy Award?
0:13:54 > 0:14:02Right, I know that he did direct All Quiet on the Western Front.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I forget who directed Cavalcade.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Maybe Frank Lloyd.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10But, OK, I'm pretty sure.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13All Quiet on the Western Front.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18It's right, well done. All Quiet on the Western Front is correct.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21So, well done, Ian, you've won the second head-to-head.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24And now you gain an Egghead.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So you can choose anyone but Kevin.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32I will choose Pat, who was helpful in the heat, of course. Of course!
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Look forward to it again.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36As it stands, Ian has one Egghead -
0:14:36 > 0:14:38the doughty Pat - to help him in the finals.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Steve has Kevin. It's absolutely evenly balanced, it's so exciting.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44The next category is Science.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46And, Ian, because you won the last category,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51OK, I will go first.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56And here is your first question.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59What is the chemical symbol for titanium?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06It is...Ti.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09So, I am pretty sure I simply know that and
0:15:09 > 0:15:14no elements has the symbol T.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19And Tm is thulium, I think.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24But Ti is titanium. Ti.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Ti is quite right.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Steve, back to you.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32The Hyperloop project envisioned by the entrepreneur Elon Musk
0:15:32 > 0:15:35concerns which transport technology?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Well, loop suggests things drive along it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I wouldn't have thought it was aircraft.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I can't quite see why he'd want driverless road vehicle,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58though there's probably lots of explanations I'm not thinking of.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01So I will go high-speed vacuum tube train.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Yes, high-speed vacuum tube train is correct. Back to you, Ian.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Taken from a word in German,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11which uppercase letter is used to represent the set of all integers?
0:16:14 > 0:16:21It's Z, because the German word is zahl, meaning number.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22So, Z.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Correct. And brilliant.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Second question to Steve.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Which of these elements has the lowest boiling point?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Right, I'll get my coat.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Um, it's another guess, I'm afraid.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I'm sure Ian's about to tell me, but I will guess chlorine.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48Ian, do you know? I'm absolutely not about to tell you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53The only thing I did have on my mind is that helium is very, very low.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57And krypton is in the same group, but on the other hand,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01we are talking about physical rather than chemical properties.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02So not a clue, I'm afraid.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03The answer is krypton.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So, you got one wrong there.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09And that means, Ian,
0:17:09 > 0:17:11you can take the round with this.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Which mathematician gives his name to
0:17:13 > 0:17:17a triangular arrangement of numbers in which every number
0:17:17 > 0:17:20written in the triangle is the sum of the two above it?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Er, yeah. So this is Pascal's triangle,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28so it goes one, one-one, one-two-one.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30One-three-three-one.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32And so you can use it for lots of things.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36It tells you the coefficients for use in a binomial theorem.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39If you add up the rows, you get powers of two.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42It's got lots of other properties, as well.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44So, I think the answer's probably Pascal.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I'm sensing that science is quite a good subject for you. Yes, it is.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Pascal is correct.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51That's three out of three for you, Ian. Well done.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53You've won the head-to-head.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, so as a result, Ian pulls into the lead here,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00gains another Egghead for the final round.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Which one would you like?
0:18:01 > 0:18:05I think I will choose...Barry.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Your main thing is science. Science and Opera.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09BARRY LAUGHS
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Yes, if anybody can write a scientific opera, I'm in there.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15As it stands, Ian now has two Eggheads to help in the final.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Steve has one Egghead. Both playing great and it's History now.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21So, Ian, as the winner of the last round,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23you can choose - first or second?
0:18:23 > 0:18:24I will go first.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Here we go with your first question, Ian.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Which term was officially applied to the 50,000 to 100,000
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Americans who moved to British North America
0:18:37 > 0:18:40during and after the War of Independence?
0:18:47 > 0:18:53Right, OK. So, all three of those sound plausible.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59But United Empire Loyalists, I actually recognise as an answer.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02So, I will go United Empire Loyalists.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04United Empire Loyalists.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Anyone know any history? Kevin, tell us a bit about these people.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12A surprising number of the population of the then colonies,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14actually did stay loyal to the Crown.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17This tends to - because independence was achieved in
0:19:17 > 0:19:20American history - this tends to get overlooked.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23But it's possible that about a third of the population
0:19:23 > 0:19:26actually wanted to stay with Britain.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And so a lot of them, during and then after the war,
0:19:29 > 0:19:33they did move into territories, subsequently became Canada,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35that were controlled by Britain.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Yeah, OK, thank you. Steve,
0:19:39 > 0:19:44where was the early medieval title "mormaer" used to refer
0:19:44 > 0:19:46to a regional ruler?
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Mormaer is M-O-R-M`A`E`R, all one word, mormaer.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Surprisingly, I've never heard of this word in my life.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Doesn't sound Welsh. Just going on the sound and the spelling.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I'd have to go for Scotland.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08But that's all I'm basing it on.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11It could equally be any of them.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13OK. Scotland is your answer.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14And it's correct.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Ian, most of the historical lands
0:20:18 > 0:20:23of the kingdom of Showa lie in which modern African country?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Showa is S-H-O-W-A.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34There is the Shona tribe in South Africa.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Or possibly more like Zimbabwe, because I'm thinking of Mashonaland.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45So should I go for South Africa because it's a similar word?
0:20:47 > 0:20:52Obviously, I know that there were lots of empires in South Africa.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55It's how they've got so many languages, for example.
0:20:57 > 0:21:03Ethiopia, well, that's the Zagwe dynasty.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I think that they were quite unified.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13I don't think that the tribe would be in Libya, either.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17So, OK, I will go for South Africa.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Ethiopia is the right answer. Is it really? Oh, OK.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22So, can you take the lead, Steve?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Which of these battles led to the conclusion of the second
0:21:26 > 0:21:29English Civil War in 1648?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I've never heard of the Battle of Langport.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47I do not know. I will say the Battle of Preston.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Eggheads? Yup.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Yup, you're right - the Battle of Preston.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55JEREMY LAUGHS Don't apologise.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I feel like I'm being thrashed with an encyclopaedia.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01So, you need to get this right, Ian, to stay in this round.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Which Foreign Secretary represented Britain
0:22:04 > 0:22:07at the Congress of Vienna, in 1814?
0:22:12 > 0:22:13I think it's Castlereagh.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16What's confusing is that Castlereagh and Canning were
0:22:16 > 0:22:20both Foreign Secretary at around about the same time.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25But I feel it is still right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Castlereagh.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Your knowledge is amazing, sir.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Castlereagh is correct.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34So it is two points each, but on this you can take the round,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Steve, and draw level.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Cos at the moment you've only got one Egghead in the final
0:22:39 > 0:22:42and Ian's got two. So, Steve, this is your all-important third question.
0:22:42 > 0:22:48Who was the third son of Shah Jahan and the last effective ruler
0:22:48 > 0:22:51of Mughal Empire in India?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Right, well, believe it or not, I might actually know this, because
0:23:01 > 0:23:05I know that he did have a son called Aurangzeb who rebelled against him.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Now whether he's the third one or not,
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I think Babur actually founded the Mughal Empire.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11So he's going to be...way back.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Jahangir's a squash player, so I will go for Aurangzeb,
0:23:15 > 0:23:17please. JEREMY LAUGHS
0:23:17 > 0:23:20If you've got this right... If I've not, I'm going.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22..you've taken the round.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Eggheads, is he right?
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Yes. Aurangzeb, when he took over the Mughal Empire,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30he imprisoned his father in the Red Fort.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32His father hadn't built the Taj Mahal,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35so his father could see from his prison, the monument he built.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Oh! All right.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40So Aurangzeb is obviously a very important person.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43So important that he's won you the round. You're absolutely right.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45You've got three out of three there, Steve - well done,
0:23:45 > 0:23:46you have won the head-to-head.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52So, it gets even tighter. You choose your second Egghead.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53It can't be Kevin, Pat or Barry.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Well, this is horrible, because last time both Lisa and Dave helped me.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00So, toss a coin...
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Erm,
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Lisa.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06So, Steve has Kevin and Lisa helping him in the final.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Ian has chosen Pat and Barry.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Just Dave left to go with the winner of the next round which is Music.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Steve, you won the last round, you can decide first or second.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Well, I'll go first, Jeremy, please.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Steve, your question.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27In which of these classes of musical instruments are drums included?
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Well, it's obviously to do with the sound - phone.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Aerophones obviously sound like something you use wind
0:24:39 > 0:24:42to play with, so scratch that.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Idiophones sounds like something I'd play.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I've not heard of the words before, Jeremy, to be honest,
0:24:48 > 0:24:52but based on the fact that a drum has a membrane, which you strike
0:24:52 > 0:24:56with your drumsticks, obviously, I will go Membranophones.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Membranophones is the right answer.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Ian, back to you.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Who achieved his first
0:25:02 > 0:25:08solo UK number one album in April 2016 with Mind Of Mine?
0:25:14 > 0:25:21Zayn has been knocking around for the least amount of time
0:25:21 > 0:25:24because he was in One Direction
0:25:24 > 0:25:29and therefore not able to record solo number ones.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30So...
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I'm thinking that the answer is Zayn.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37You are spot on. Zayn is right.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40So one point each. Music we're on. Back to you, Steve.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Which band headlined at the Glastonbury Festival
0:25:43 > 0:25:47for the first time in 2007 and again in 2013?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I don't think it's Coldplay.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I can't really pin it to the dates because they've all been around
0:26:00 > 0:26:02pre-2007.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'm going to try Arctic Monkeys.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Let's see if the Eggheads know this. Lisa?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Couldn't be sure but I would have gone that way. Dave, you'll know.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11I'd have gone Arctic Monkeys, definitely. Yeah.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Arctic Monkeys is right. Well done.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Back to you, Ian.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19What type of instrument is the Middle Eastern ney?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20That's spelt N-E-Y.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28I'm just trying to think what sort of music they would like to
0:26:28 > 0:26:33play the most. Would they like to play guitar music or flute or harp?
0:26:33 > 0:26:39There are lots of names for harp-like instruments
0:26:39 > 0:26:42so I can imagine that there'd be one that I don't know.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47All of them are equally likely, unfortunately,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50so this does need to be a guess.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52So I'll go for harp.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54The answer is flute, Ian.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00So, Steve is in the lead and Steve, if you get this right,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03you will have taken this round, as well.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Just have the edge with three Eggheads.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Which of these '60s bands was originally called the Pendletones?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Pendletones.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23See, Beach Boys, I thought they were Carl And The Passions
0:27:23 > 0:27:26but I don't know if they were called something else, as well.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I've never heard of The Monkees being called anything else
0:27:29 > 0:27:31or The Doors.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33And I thought I was a bit of a Doors fan
0:27:33 > 0:27:36so I'm going to look pretty stupid if it is The Doors.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Erm...
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I've got to go Beach Boys.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44The Beach Boys is the correct answer.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Good quizzing, Steve, you've taken that round, as well.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Congratulations, you've won the final head-to-head.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53We've only got one Egghead left to choose but you might as well...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55I'll choose Dave, please.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Yeah, do the formal thing of choosing Dave. Well done. Thank you.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Great quizzer.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02So, Steve, let's go through this.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05You have now got three of the Eggheads, having won three rounds.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Kevin, Lisa and Dave are yours.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09So you've got the Eggs on the left there.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12You have got, Ian, Pat and Barry.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Well, let's see what happens as we play the final round.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20So, this is what we have been playing towards and there is
0:28:20 > 0:28:22an awful lot riding on this final round because, Steve, you told
0:28:22 > 0:28:25your eight-year-old son you are going to get him a dog if you win,
0:28:25 > 0:28:26is that right?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I think it was an empty threat because I knew there was
0:28:28 > 0:28:30no chance I was going to win it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32But, you see, now I'm getting close, it's going to be...
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Well, I'm going to be persona non grata if I don't win,
0:28:34 > 0:28:36I think I'll be in the kennel myself.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Have you thought of a type of dog?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Probably a hot dog. One that doesn't move about a lot,
0:28:42 > 0:28:45you know, a cactus dog, something like that.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47It is time to find out who is one step closer to becoming
0:28:47 > 0:28:51an Egghead and who will be eliminated from our search.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53I will ask each of you five questions in turn.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57In this final round,
0:28:57 > 0:28:59you will have the backing of the Eggheads you've won
0:28:59 > 0:29:02over the course of the show, so, Steve, behind you,
0:29:02 > 0:29:05you've got this impressive trio of Kevin, Lisa and Dave
0:29:05 > 0:29:09and Ian, you have the double barrels of Pat and Barry.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Equally impressive.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Now, you'll be able to call on them as we go through this round.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17You can use them only once. OK.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21You can use more than one to answer a single question if you want,
0:29:21 > 0:29:24but whatever happens, once they're used, they're used,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26so bring them in wisely.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30This is it - if you win this round, you are through to the grand final.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Do you understand? Yeah. Yeah.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34OK, let's play.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Steve, you won the last round,
0:29:35 > 0:29:39you can choose whether you go first or second in our final now.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42I've gone first so far so I'll stick with that, please, Jeremy.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48OK, I know it means a lot to you both and of course there is
0:29:48 > 0:29:51also a dog riding on this, as well.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Steve, your first question.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Which body of water lies between Italy and Greece?
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Well, hopefully...
0:30:08 > 0:30:10I'm doubting everything I see at the minute,
0:30:10 > 0:30:14but between Italy and Greece,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I'm hoping that's going to be the Ionian Sea.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Ionian Sea is quite right and you didn't need to call an Egghead,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22which is handy.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Ian, the award-winning restaurant, Noma,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28often voted the best in the world, is in which city?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35OK, I surprisingly know this.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36It is Copenhagen.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39No surprisingly about it,
0:30:39 > 0:30:40it is Copenhagen.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43So, one each, no Eggheads used.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Steve, you have the slight advantage of three Eggheads here.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50The Arnolfini is an arts centre and gallery in which city?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57The answer I'd got in my head has come up, which is encouraging.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Yeah, I can think all day, I'm not going to change my mind.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I'm going to say Bristol, Jeremy.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Bristol is correct.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10This is hot quizzing here, you haven't used your Eggheads yet
0:31:10 > 0:31:11at all.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Ian, which British sportswoman set a world record in 1967
0:31:15 > 0:31:20that was better than the equivalent men's world record at that time?
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Right.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Erm,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32OK, I think I've got an idea but it really is best
0:31:32 > 0:31:38for me to ask one of the two Eggheads.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40So who would you like to call in?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42I'd like to call Pat, please.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Pat, your question.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48Which British sportswoman set a world record in 1967,
0:31:48 > 0:31:53that was better than the equivalent men's world record at that time?
0:31:54 > 0:31:58I don't know the answer to this but one think we can cover
0:31:58 > 0:32:01a fair amount of ground using a sort of logic.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Lillian Board was a sprinter, a runner,
0:32:04 > 0:32:06who specialised, I think, in the 800 metres.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Anita Lonsbrough was a swimmer.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12I don't think she did super long distances,
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I think she did regular distance swimming.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18And Beryl Burton was a cyclist.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22Now, in general, in sports involving strength,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25it's very unusual for a female world record to be greater
0:32:25 > 0:32:28than a men's, all other things being equal.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30But when it comes to endurance,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34women sometimes have an advantage in super endurance events.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39Female physiology can occasionally confer gains.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Now, I don't think in an 800 metres race,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44I don't think any of that advantage is going to come through
0:32:44 > 0:32:47and in a fairly standard swimming event,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50I don't think endurance effects will come through.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54But I think in cycling, I think possibly,
0:32:54 > 0:32:58the female anatomy and the fact that in certain circumstances,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00women can display more endurance than men,
0:33:00 > 0:33:04might give Beryl Burton a chance, so like I said, I don't know
0:33:04 > 0:33:08the answer to this. If I had to answer it, that would be my logic,
0:33:08 > 0:33:12and I would advance Beryl Burton but I would be quite nervous,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14so I don't know the answer but I've given you my logic.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17OK, that's very clear, Pat, thank you.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Ian, you process that now.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23I think I will go with Pat's, given that he does have good
0:33:23 > 0:33:27reasoning, so I will go for the middle one - Beryl Burton.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Beryl Burton is your answer.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Pat, you know that Beryl Burton is a cyclist?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33She's a cyclist, I think she set things like hour records.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37She did all sorts of endurance distance cycle events.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40So, like I said, just a bit of logic but it remains to be seen
0:33:40 > 0:33:43whether it amounts to anything.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46The logic is brilliant, Beryl Burton is the right answer, well done.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Two each.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51One Egghead used so far by Ian.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Steve, which Foreign Secretary resigned
0:33:54 > 0:33:57following the invasion of the Falkland Islands by Argentina?
0:34:03 > 0:34:07I should know this straight off the bat but now I'm looking at the...
0:34:07 > 0:34:11choices, I really don't want to slip up.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12John Nott...
0:34:12 > 0:34:14I didn't think John Nott was Foreign Secretary -
0:34:14 > 0:34:18I thought he was Defence. Perhaps I'm completely wrong with that.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21The name I most associate with the Falklands out of those three
0:34:21 > 0:34:22is Lord Carrington.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27I'm just wondering now if I'm going to be regretting this
0:34:27 > 0:34:28if I don't ask for help...
0:34:30 > 0:34:31..but
0:34:31 > 0:34:36I'm also quite aware that if it goes to Sudden Death,
0:34:36 > 0:34:40that Ian doesn't really need any help and I will.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43I hope I don't live to regret this but I'm going to
0:34:43 > 0:34:44stick to my guns...
0:34:46 > 0:34:49..and I'm going to say Lord Carrington.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50OK, your answer is Lord Carrington.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Let's just check, without using your Eggheads, let's bounce it off them.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Eggs? Yes. Yes.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59They all like that, Lord Carrington is right, well done.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Three out of three so far.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Ian, back to you.
0:35:02 > 0:35:08The 2001 fantasy model American Gods is the work of which British writer?
0:35:13 > 0:35:19Unfortunately, I have not heard of this novel.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21There is one person I see there who I know is
0:35:21 > 0:35:25a fantasy author, but, of course, the other two could be, as well.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28So...
0:35:29 > 0:35:32..I'm afraid I will have to use
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Barry, please. OK. I'll need to ask Barry.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39OK, so you're using your second Egghead on your third question.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Barry, this is for you, then.
0:35:41 > 0:35:47The 2001 fantasy novel American Gods is the work of which British writer?
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Well, unfortunately, I've not heard of this novel and I think
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I'm in the same position as Ian in that there's one name that stands
0:35:53 > 0:35:58out there as an author of fantasy novels and I don't really know...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I've not really heard of the other two.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02So the name that stands out for me - as Ian will well know,
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I suspect - is Neil Gaiman.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07So I can't really offer any more than that,
0:36:07 > 0:36:10that I know Neil Gaiman writes fantasy novels.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14But I'm sorry, Ian, I really don't know the answer to this. That's OK.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Was that your thinking as well? Yeah, it was, yeah.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20So, I will go for Neil Gaiman, please.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Neil Gaiman is right.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Well done, Barry.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26You gave enough there.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Nothing to choose between them on the scoreboard
0:36:30 > 0:36:35but significantly, Steve has all three Eggheads left.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38And Ian has used all his.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Steve, your question -
0:36:39 > 0:36:44the American soloists Joshua Bell and Rachel Barton Pine
0:36:44 > 0:36:47are both leading performers on which musical instrument?
0:36:52 > 0:36:56No, that doesn't mean anything to me.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59It could equally be any of them so I do need help with this.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03I'm going to hope and pray that Kevin knows.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Kevin, Joshua Bell and Rachel Barton Pine.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12American soloists, both leading performers on which instrument?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16I...
0:37:16 > 0:37:17have an inkling, Steve...
0:37:18 > 0:37:20..but I'm not at all certain.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Well, your inkling's better than my nothing.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27I don't know Rachel Barton Pine, I must admit.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31But I think I have heard of Joshua Bell.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33My...
0:37:33 > 0:37:36inclination is for violin and I'm hoping that
0:37:36 > 0:37:39that is a bell ringing from somewhere,
0:37:39 > 0:37:40so with a big...
0:37:42 > 0:37:44..health warning, I hope...
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I hope that he's ringing a bell in relation to violin.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49Thank you.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51OK, so you've got that from Kevin.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55Well, I've got nothing to go on at all, Jeremy, and, like I say,
0:37:55 > 0:37:59an inkling from Kevin is probably better than my best answer
0:37:59 > 0:38:00anyway, so I wouldn't have had a clue.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04If it's wrong, it doesn't matter because I didn't know anyway
0:38:04 > 0:38:08so I will go with what Kevin said and I will say violin.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11So, Kevin just had a leaning towards violin
0:38:11 > 0:38:14and only with Joshua, but the leaning is enough -
0:38:14 > 0:38:16violin is correct. Thank you, Kevin.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19So, you have got four out of four
0:38:19 > 0:38:23and this is your fourth question, now, Ian.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Which British landscape artist became known as
0:38:27 > 0:38:29the "Canaletto of the canals"?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38So, Newton, I haven't heard of.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Someone with the
0:38:42 > 0:38:45surname Frampton -
0:38:45 > 0:38:46but I thought it was a man...
0:38:48 > 0:38:52..did the statue of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Richard Long...
0:38:57 > 0:39:01..I associate him with landscape art.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04But would it simply be the person that I haven't heard of?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06I'm going to go for Richard Long.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Algernon Newton is the right answer.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11The one of whom you hadn't heard.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12Often, I guess, the way.
0:39:12 > 0:39:18So that means, Steve, because you've got four out of four so far,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21that if you get this answer right,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24you are in the final.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27And we are just a bit closer to A - you becoming an Egghead
0:39:27 > 0:39:29and B - your son having a dog.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31No pressure, then!
0:39:31 > 0:39:35And you do still have Lisa and Dave to help you, as well.
0:39:35 > 0:39:41Which medieval scientist wrote his most important work
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Opus Majus for Pope Clement IV?
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Well, I don't want to unduly influence Lisa and Dave
0:39:57 > 0:40:00the wrong way cos I'm going to be coming to you in a minute,
0:40:00 > 0:40:01rest assured.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06But, I don't associate Thomas Aquinas with being a scientist.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08I mean, I could be completely off beam there.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I thought he was a theologian and a philosopher.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Robert Grosseteste...
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Not really too... I don't know if I thought he were a maths...
0:40:18 > 0:40:20I mean Roger Bacon is the obvious scientist.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Erm, so I will go to Lisa first, do your best.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26OK, Lisa.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27What do you think on this?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30I think you might more or less have done my best already, mate.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34I'm sorry, I can't really advance this much for you.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Erm, I don't think I would have gone with Thomas Aquinas.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43You are quite right, Bacon was the scientist I knew.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47I have some other logic muddling around in the back of my head
0:40:47 > 0:40:49that I am very reluctant to mention because I think it will
0:40:49 > 0:40:52muddy the waters. Anything that will help, Lisa, anything at all.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57I was just wondering if Clement IV was one of the French Popes
0:40:57 > 0:41:00and if that would vaguely tip it towards Grosseteste
0:41:00 > 0:41:05but I have nothing, nothing at all to back that up, nothing.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Thanks anyway, thank you.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Dave, do your best.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12OK, so he's using all his Eggheads here,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15knowing that if he gets this right, it's over.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17So, Dave, come on.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Well, I can't add anything to the conversation
0:41:20 > 0:41:21that's not already been said.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24I thought Roger Bacon was a scientist and I've got
0:41:24 > 0:41:28nothing to go against what's already been said
0:41:28 > 0:41:30by both you and Lisa.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Thanks, Dave. That's all I can say, really. Appreciate it.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37It's a percentage shot, I don't know the answer.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43It could equally be Thomas Aquinas who I've discounted
0:41:43 > 0:41:46but just based on the fact that I know he is a scientist,
0:41:46 > 0:41:50I will say Roger Bacon and hope for the best.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Roger Bacon is your answer.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55OK, if you've got this right, you will have five out of five
0:41:55 > 0:41:57and you will have won and you'll be in the final.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02If you've got it wrong, we go back to Ian to see if he can catch up.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04You'll have no Eggheads left if that happens.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09The medieval scientist who wrote his most important work Opus Majus
0:42:09 > 0:42:11for Pope Clement IV...
0:42:13 > 0:42:16..was Roger Bacon. STEVE SIGHS
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Well done. So we say congratulations, Steve.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Oh, Ian, I'm sorry. Yeah, that's all right.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33That was an exhausting, punishing contest between two huge brains.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Really. Hope you enjoyed it. I did, yeah. Good, good, good.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40And well done, Steve. Ian has got a fantastic...
0:42:40 > 0:42:42I was just in awe of some of the things he were saying
0:42:42 > 0:42:44and I felt a bit guilty getting them right, to be fair.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Yeah, the guilt thing...
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Eggheads, you need to practise a bit of guilt -
0:42:48 > 0:42:51I never see you showing any guilt when you guess the right answer.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53This guilt's a new thing we've got here.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55It's all knowledge, there is never any guilt.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58There is no room for it cos all the wins count.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Yeah, if you become an Egghead, Steve, I promise you,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02we will teach you not to feel guilt. Right.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Well done, you've come close to buying that dog,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07you proved once again that winning comes as naturally to you
0:43:07 > 0:43:10as it does to our Eggheads. You are a fearsome and brilliant contestant.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13It means you're through to our grand final.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17And you are that much closer to actually becoming an Egghead.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Join us soon to find out who our last grand finalists will be.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Until then, goodbye.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53Hit it! Over on CBeebies,
