0:00:05 > 0:00:09These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The question is - do you have the brains to join them?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Hello and welcome to Make Me An Egghead.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27We've launched a nationwide search
0:00:27 > 0:00:30to find the greatest quiz brains in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32By the end of the series, two people will emerge as champions
0:00:32 > 0:00:36and win the ultimate prize for quizzing enthusiasts -
0:00:36 > 0:00:40a place on the most fearsome quiz team in history.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45So, they will sit amongst you. Yes. Gosh. Lucky them.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49HE LAUGHS No, it is a prize, Judith, actually.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51All right, let's meet today's contestants,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54both hoping they've got what it takes to become an Egghead.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Emma Laslett and I'm a disability information officer
0:00:57 > 0:00:59from Milton Keynes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Hi, I'm Frankie Fanko
0:01:00 > 0:01:03and I'm a translator from Leicestershire.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Welcome, Emma. Welcome, Frankie, as well.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And I know you love your quizzing, cos, Emma, we've met before.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10We have indeed. I was on Eggheads.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Remind me of the result.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15It didn't go as well as I'd like to pretend.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I went out to CJ on the head-to-head.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I bet he was crowing over that, was he? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22So, you do a lot of quizzing otherwise. Yes.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Yeah, I've been on a few shows before and also I do
0:01:26 > 0:01:30a lot of college-level quiz bowl, just taking part in tournaments,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33and I run my own every summer. Terrific.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And, Frankie, speaking of college, you went to the brilliant
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Hatfield College, Durham University. That's right, yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Fellow Hatfielder like you, Jeremy. Yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And out of that, that great institution, now doing what?
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Translating, yeah.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46So, I studied languages at Durham
0:01:46 > 0:01:49and went on to become a freelance translator.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53So, I translate from French, Spanish and Italian into English,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56translating financial and legal documents.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Interestingly, you've both got a language thing.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02You're a translator and, Emma, you know how many languages? I...
0:02:02 > 0:02:05To a varying degree, about ten.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Wow. Really? Just bits of.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I mean, my only one I'm really fluent in properly is French
0:02:10 > 0:02:12cos that was my degree, but besides that,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I've got passable Italian and Japanese,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18bits of Russian, bits of Swedish, bits of Portuguese.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22So, you must both have the same kind of language-loving brains.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Think so, yeah. Must do, yeah. OK, and the quiz loving as well.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27So, your quiz pedigree, Frankie, remind us.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I play in the Quiz League of London.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32My team has just got promoted to the second division,
0:02:32 > 0:02:33so it's exciting.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36OK, let's see how you go here. Good luck, both.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Contestants, this is where you prove you could be an Egghead.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41It's pretty tough, this game, I must say.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Just like on Eggheads,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45both of you will compete over a series of different rounds
0:02:45 > 0:02:49where your knowledge will be tested on the regular Eggheads categories.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So, the first head-to-head battle will be on the subject of Sport.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I'm going to ask each of you
0:02:54 > 0:02:56three multiple-choice questions on Sport in turn.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01So far, so good.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04The prize for winning a round on Make Me An Egghead -
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and this is what's slightly different about it -
0:03:06 > 0:03:09is that you can take one of those brains for yourself
0:03:09 > 0:03:11to use in the final round.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Before the show, we tossed a coin, and as a result of that, Emma,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17you have the option as to whether you want to go first or second.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18I'll go first, please.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25All right, here we go with your first question, Emma.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Who was the first British driver
0:03:26 > 0:03:28to win the Formula One World Championship?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Now, oh...
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Dreading racing coming up.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Really, I don't think it was Hunt. I think he was later.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I'm not totally sure between the other two,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51but gut reaction is giving me Stirling Moss.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Stirling Moss is your answer.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Let's see what the Eggheads... Mike Hawthorne.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Mike Hawthorne, who's the least famous of the three.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Well, yeah, because he was a long time ago. When was he, then?
0:04:01 > 0:04:021958, I think. '58.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05The later ones are the celebrity ones, is that right?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07No, but Stirling Moss was still a celebrity,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09just never won a world title.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11OK. Runner-up on a few occasions, wasn't he?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Yes, he was. About four, was it? Four times. Four times, yeah.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15They know their Formula One.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18So, Mike Hawthorne is the answer.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Over to you, Frankie.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Which sports coach became famous as a champion for the theory
0:04:23 > 0:04:25of marginal gains?
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Um, well, it's not Pep Guardoila, the football manager.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Toni Minichiello, I think is the coach of Jessica Ennis-Hill,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43but this is Sir Dave Brailsford.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Of course, famously helped Bradley Wiggins to become
0:04:47 > 0:04:50the first Briton to win the Tour de France
0:04:50 > 0:04:52through his theory of marginalised gains.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Right. And marginal gains meaning what?
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Meaning... Those tiny increments.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Yeah, tiny increments in every aspect,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01maybe not just the actual cycling.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03But, you know, your attitude, preparation -
0:05:03 > 0:05:07all of that adds up to give you an advantage over your competitors.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Brilliant. You're right. Dave Brailsford is correct.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Back to you, Emma. For which Brazilian
0:05:12 > 0:05:15football club did Pele play for most of his career?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Um...
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Right.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I wish I had some kind of logic here, but I'm just honestly...
0:05:29 > 0:05:32A hunch, Vasco da Gama.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Do you know this, Frankie? Um, I think Santos rings a bell,
0:05:36 > 0:05:37but I'm really not too sure.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Santos it is. Yeah.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Over to you, Frankie.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42In 2016, Laura Massaro
0:05:42 > 0:05:45became world number one for the first time
0:05:45 > 0:05:46in which sport?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Um...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Yeah, it's...
0:05:55 > 0:05:59We've got a couple of really good British squash players.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03We've got Nick Matthews, the men's world number one,
0:06:03 > 0:06:08and Laura Massaro is the women's number one at squash.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12If you've got this right, the round is yours.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14And you have got it right. Squash is the answer.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18We say congratulations, Frankie. You've won the first head-to-head.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23So, you gain an Egghead,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27and there they are all staring in an intelligent way.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29HE CHUCKLES
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Who would you like to help you in the final round?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I think I'll go for Kevin, please.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Yeah, he's been a popular choice on Make Me An Egghead, I must say.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Can't think why.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Kevin, what's it like going into the booth back there?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44You do feel under pressure a bit more than might be the case
0:06:44 > 0:06:48in a regular game because there you're playing for yourself
0:06:48 > 0:06:49or for the team.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Here, you don't want to let anybody down.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55All right, so, as it stands, Emma has no Eggheads yet,
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Frankie has one.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Early days. The next category is Politics.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Frankie, cos you won the last round, you can decide
0:07:01 > 0:07:02to go first or second.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I'll go first, please, Jeremy.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12So, we are on Politics, Frankie, and this is your first question.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17In which year did Kim Il-sung become communist leader of North Korea?
0:07:23 > 0:07:29Um, so, he was the father of Kim Jong-il.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35So, it's definitely not 1988. That's too recent.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39So is 1968, I think, so I think it's got to be 1948.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41The logic being that he has about 40 years in power
0:07:41 > 0:07:43or something like that or...?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Well, I think so, cos I think the idea was that, you know,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50he'd be in power until he died and then it would pass on down
0:07:50 > 0:07:52the generations in the same way.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Anyone want to help us with this?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56How long was he on the throne for, as it were?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Well, it was about 40 years. About 40 years.
0:07:59 > 0:08:011948 is correct.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02OK, Emma,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04let's get you on the scoreboard here.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Members are elected to the 60-seat Welsh Assembly
0:08:08 > 0:08:10for terms of how long?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I don't think it's as long as five years cos I'm pretty sure
0:08:18 > 0:08:22it's shorter than kind of national parliament.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30I don't know. One year sounds short, but I kind of feel...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Yeah, I'm going to go with one.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38No, I think that would be exhausting for people in Wales
0:08:38 > 0:08:41to have an election every year. It's actually five.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Oh, right. Five years.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Which, I guess, these days under the Fixed Term Act
0:08:45 > 0:08:46is the same as the national parliament.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Yeah. Five-year term.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50OK. Back to you, Frankie.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55In 1827, George Canning became British Prime Minister,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57a position he held for how long?
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Um...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08None of those are very long, are they?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I think...
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I don't think it's four days, for some reason.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I'll try four months.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Now, I don't know the story here. Can anybody help us?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20He was ill. He was ill. Potentially...
0:09:20 > 0:09:24So, not assassinated, not deposed in some way.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25No, just didn't last very long.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Just took ill. Yes. Yeah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Four months is right. Have you got a question wrong yet?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I don't think you have.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Don't think so, but there's plenty of time for that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Oh, Emma, Emma. Got to get this one right
0:09:37 > 0:09:38to stay in this round.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Who was serving as Irish Taoiseach, or prime minister,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45when the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Now...
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I mean, that's fairly recent,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00so it kind of stands to reason it would be someone I've heard of,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04and I think I've heard his name in connection with this.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I will go Bertie Ahern.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Bertie Ahern is the right answer. Well done.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Now, your third question, Frankie.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12You can take the round on this.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15What was the last cabinet post Andy Burnham held
0:10:15 > 0:10:17before the 2010 general election?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Um, I'm pretty sure he's never been defence secretary
0:10:26 > 0:10:29or home secretary, so...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31But he definitely has been health secretary,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33so I'll go for health secretary.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Yeah, I think he became shadow home secretary in opposition.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43But health secretary is the right answer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46That was the last cabinet post Andy Burnham held. Congratulations.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47You've won the head-to-head.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53As a result, you gain an Egghead, Frankie, for the final round,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55so you're going to have at least two.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59You've chosen Kevin already. Can I interest you in one of the others?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I won't give you all their various positive qualities.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05They're too many. I'll go for Pat, please.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09OK. So, Kevin and Pat, known as Both Barrels.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12LAUGHTER Well...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14We'll get the T-shirts made up, Jeremy.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17LAUGHTER They are fearsome pair, those two.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21So, well done, Frankie. You've got two Eggheads in the final round.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Emma still has none.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Let's see, Emma, whether you can get one in this round. It's Science.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Frankie, you won the last round so you can choose
0:11:28 > 0:11:29whether you go first or second.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I'll go first, please.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38OK, Science round starts now, Frankie, with this question.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42NH3 is the chemical formula for which gas?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Um...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I'm not too good on gases,
0:11:52 > 0:11:56but I think that sounds like it might be ammonia.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Very good. Ammonia it is.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Emma, CERN -
0:12:00 > 0:12:02C-E-R-N -
0:12:02 > 0:12:05the name of the research agency based in Geneva
0:12:05 > 0:12:08is an acronym of words of which language?
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Well, I know they speak all of them at various places in Switzerland,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20but I believe it's French -
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Centre d'Etudes de something Nucleaire.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29French is correct. Anyone spell it out for us?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Yep.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Well, it's the Council for European Nuclear Research
0:12:33 > 0:12:35is what the letters originally stood for.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41All right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Frankie, which part of a tree is the bole?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Bole is B-O-L-E.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50B-O-L-E. Bole.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Not too sure on this one.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I'll try the trunk.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Trunk is right.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Two out of two.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08You need a bit of daylight here, Emma. Yeah. Need her to slip up.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Here's your question, Emma.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12For the first time in seven years,
0:13:12 > 0:13:18in 2016 which bird was in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch top ten?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Sorry, could you repeat the start of the question again?
0:13:28 > 0:13:29I'll repeat the whole thing.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31For the first time in seven years,
0:13:31 > 0:13:38in 2016 which bird was in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch top ten?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41So, Big Garden Birdwatch is the name of it. Yeah.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I don't think it would be the magpie cos, I mean,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47it seems unlikely that that would've been
0:13:47 > 0:13:49out of there for that long.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51They're quite common.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53And I seem to remember something
0:13:53 > 0:13:55about there being a resurgence in finches.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56I'll go with goldfinch.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Goldfinch is your answer. Is that right, anyone know?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Judith, you big on your birds?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Well, there are a lot of goldfinches, but I don't know.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09My instinct was for long-tailed tit. I don't know why.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Cos I suppose that the point about the Birdwatch
0:14:11 > 0:14:13is that this is a bird... Has been absent...
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Has been a bit absent, yeah. ..and come back in.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yeah, I mean, I had goldfinches in my garden in London,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21so they must be very common. Right.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24And magpies everywhere. But I didn't have long-tailed tits. No.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Magpies are everywhere. OK.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32So, based on Judith's garden, long-tailed tit is the answer. Yeah.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35So, you can clinch it
0:14:35 > 0:14:38with this question, Frankie,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40and go into the final with three Eggheads.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45In which part of the human body are the parietal bones?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48So, we're spelling that P-A-R-I-E-T-A-L.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49The parietal bones.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55OK, well, I had a feeling they were in the skull
0:14:55 > 0:14:58before the options came up.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I think there's also a parietal lobe, I think,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04in the brain, so I'll go for skull.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I never know what the Eggheads' rule is.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Is it when it's bones, always go ankle?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13No, skull, probably. Always go skull when it's bones?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Well, which has got the most bones? Well, exactly.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I thought it was the ankle had the most.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20No, it's only got about two or three.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22The skull has got the most. Yeah.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24All right, we've got to remember that rule.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Skull is right. So, well done, Frankie.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29You're ahead and you can't be caught in this round.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32We say congratulations, you've won the final head-to-head.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37You'll have three Eggheads in the final round.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41You've got Kevin, you've got Pat. Well done.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Who else would you like? What a selection.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Well, I've already got two men, so let's even it up a bit.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I'll go for Judith, please. Thank you. Good stuff.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Emma, you haven't got any Eggs in the final round.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Frankie, you've got Kevin, Pat and Judith.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Let's go ahead and play that final.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04It is time to find out who is one step closer to becoming
0:16:04 > 0:16:07an Egghead and who will be eliminated from our search.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08So, Emma and Frankie,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm going to ask each of you three questions in turn.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12This time they're all General Knowledge.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13In this final round,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16you will have the backing of the Eggheads you've won
0:16:16 > 0:16:17over the course of the show.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20So, Emma, for you, you'll be going it alone.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23And, Frankie, you've got Kevin and Pat and Judith back there,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25which is rather handy.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27You'll be able to call on your respective Eggheads
0:16:27 > 0:16:29for advice before giving an answer to a question.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32You can even use more than one for a question.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Once you've used them, however, they can't be used again.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37So, got to use them wisely.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Let's go for it. Frankie, as you won the last round,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42you get to choose whether you want to play first or second.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I'll go first, please.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49And here we go with your first question.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Which saying originated from a tax collection theory
0:16:53 > 0:16:57of a 15th century archbishop of Canterbury?
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Um, not too sure about this one,
0:17:13 > 0:17:14so I think I might need
0:17:14 > 0:17:16to ask for some help.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18You're going to call in one of your bazookas.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20OK, which one do you want?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Who's going to know this?
0:17:24 > 0:17:25I'll go for Kevin, please.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27OK.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28OK, Kevin. Here is your question.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Which saying originated from a tax collection theory
0:17:32 > 0:17:34of a 15th century archbishop of Canterbury?
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Yeah, it's...
0:17:40 > 0:17:43The fork, the idea of the fork with the double tie-in
0:17:43 > 0:17:47is that if you don't get people one way you'll get them another way,
0:17:47 > 0:17:52so it was sort of a tax collection double trap, in a way.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55And the archbishop in question was Morton.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It's Morton's fork.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Now, that is precisely what we need Kevin for, isn't it?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Absolutely, yep. You don't have to take his answer.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06He did, I must say, on a level of Kevin certainty,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08he sounded about nine or ten there.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Yeah.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I think he seems to know what he's talking about, as always,
0:18:12 > 0:18:17so I'll go for Kevin's answer then, which I think was Morton's fork.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Morton's fork is the correct answer.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Well done.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24And, Kevin, do you know his first name?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I was trying to remember that. Is it Thomas? I'm not sure.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28I can't remember his first name.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I think it's John. John, OK. I think it's John.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Roughly, what are we talking about? 15th century, so...
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Towards the end of the 15th century,
0:18:35 > 0:18:36cos he was archbishop of Canterbury...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39This was under the reign of Henry VII.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42So, prior to Henry VIII and all of that stuff. Yeah.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So, it would be very much towards the end of the century.
0:18:45 > 0:18:491486 to 1500, I'm told. Just to show you're right.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Well, good use of an Egghead there, Frankie. Well done.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52First point to you.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57OK, Emma, I know you're playing alone, but you can do this. Yeah.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Here's your question, Emma.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Which sporting legend performed a DJ set at Block Festival
0:19:03 > 0:19:08in Minehead's Butlins Resort in April, 2016?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Oh, I swear I heard about this at the time.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I don't think it would be Steve Davis.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28It just doesn't seem like the kind of thing he'd do.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I'm torn between the other two.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I think I was erring towards Damon Hill from the start,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46so I will go Damon Hill.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Damon Hill is your answer.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Let's just bang this off the Eggheads here.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Eggheads, ring any bells? It's Steve Davis. Steve Davis.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Steve Davis? He loves his music. He loves music. Mm.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Well, good luck to him. Steve Davis is the answer.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03So, Frankie, your question now.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06For what does the letter T stand in EPCOT,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10the theme park in Walt Disney World Resort in Florida?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18What's the acronym?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21EPCOT - E-P-C-O-T. E-P-C-O-T.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Um...
0:20:24 > 0:20:25EPCOT.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Yeah, I've heard of that. I'm not sure if I know what it stands for.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Yeah, I think I'll have to call on one of the Eggheads again.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37That's all right. Might as well use them.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Yeah. I'll ask Pat, please.
0:20:41 > 0:20:46All right, Pat, EPCOT, what does the T stand for?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I think it's something along the lines
0:20:49 > 0:20:52of Experimental Community Of Tomorrow.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59I think so. I think it's Tomorrow.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02So, he's got a bit less certainty than Kevin had with the archbishop.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Mm. You've got to decide whether you go with that.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Still got a lot more certainty than I have, so,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12yeah, I just don't know this so I'll go for tomorrow.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Yep. Tomorrow is your answer.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I was there a couple of years ago, actually, on holiday.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18It's the one with the big golf ball.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You know, it's that very futuristic thing,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22but then it could be technology.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25You're nearly right on the acronym, Pat.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29It's Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31so tomorrow is the right answer.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Well done, Frankie. Good use of your Eggheads.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Now, Emma, the situation that
0:21:36 > 0:21:40we are in is that you have to get this right to stay alive.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46Gabriel Garcia Marquez won the Nobel Prize for Literature
0:21:46 > 0:21:47in which decade?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I'm starting to take this personally,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57cos on Eggheads I went out on a Nobel Prize in Literature question.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Really?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Right, Marquez.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08I've read some Marquez. I should be able to pin it down to a date.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I don't think it was the '60s.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I think that would've been too early
0:22:12 > 0:22:16cos I think a lot of his books were coming out around the '60s.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19The '70s or '80s, really.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26I think it would probably have been the '70s.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Now, I'm not sure whether it's for an individual book
0:22:29 > 0:22:32or whether it's just for being... Yeah.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33..Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Frankie, do you know this one?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I would've said '80s, although, I'm not 100%.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Cos Love In The Time Of Cholera is the one that I've read,
0:22:41 > 0:22:42and that came out in the '80s.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Eggheads, any knowledge on this? 1982, I think. Ah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:501980s is the answer. Yeah.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52So, you can't catch Frankie in the final round.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55We say congratulations, Frankie. You have won. Thank you.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Commiserations, Emma. Bad luck. Yeah.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Just went the wrong way each time.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Just how it falls sometimes. I know you're a good quizzer.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10There's no question about that. Well done, Frankie. Thank you.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12You've proved winning comes as naturally to you
0:23:12 > 0:23:13as it does to our Eggheads.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Eggheads, well done to you. We didn't call you in, Judith.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17No, I know. Thanks goodness.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19You were ready and waiting.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I was ready and waiting feeling rather nervous.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I know you would've known the archbishop.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I did know the archbishop, yeah. Yeah.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28And the EPCOT one? No, that I did not know.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29I was dreading being asked that.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31OK, well, anyway, you weren't needed,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34but you were there and I could see that you were very alert.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38So, Frankie, you're one step closer to joining our quiz Goliaths,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41but your work for today is not quite done.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43We give you three points for each round you've won today,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46so you've got a very, very handy nine points.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48And you're going to get the chance now to add to those
0:23:48 > 0:23:51by answering quick fire questions for two minutes.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Each correct answer, you will score a point for.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I've got to accept your first answer.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58And we see where your final score
0:23:58 > 0:24:01puts you on the all-important Eggheads leaderboard.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04The top four places at the end of the heats will make it through
0:24:04 > 0:24:07to the semifinal, so just have a look at the leaderboard.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09You can see we've got four names on it already.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11The question will be, can you displace one of them
0:24:11 > 0:24:14and get into the all-important green area?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17All to play for. Are you ready to play? Yes.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22OK, Frankie, good luck. Your time starts now.

0:26:23 > 0:26:24That was a good performance.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25There was a question there
0:26:25 > 0:26:27which just got you stuck.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30It was Henry, wasn't it? Yeah, I just...
0:26:30 > 0:26:33The trouble was... ..confused Henry VI with Edward IV,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35and getting the letters wrong in my mind.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36No, but I felt for you, cos I thought,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38"Ah, you don't want to pass here." Yeah.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41You want to go for it. You just got jammed. Maybe should've passed.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43And I had to take your first on JD Salinger. I know.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I just realised... You were right with Jerome. Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48You went, "John. Jerome." Just went in too quick.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50No, but you did brilliantly there.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52You scored 15 points,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56so that gives you a grand total of 24 points.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Now, we will see the leaderboard,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01and you're going to arrive rather dramatically here to the very top.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03How about that?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And the nearest is Marianne and Kit, both with 20 points.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09You're at the top there on 24, and it's partly that getting
0:27:09 > 0:27:11all three Eggheads is really, really helpful to you.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15How was that? A bit of a brainstorm? Yeah. Yeah, it was.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18It's just hard to think when, you know,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20you know you're under time pressure and it's...
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Well, I loved your Galapagos/Ecuador moment,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26cos that's the sort of one where you can just think,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28"Oh, I don't know."
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Well, yeah, when you do as many quizzes as I do,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34you've got that one wrong before and won't get it wrong again. Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37So, Eggheads, there we go. These are two great quizzers here.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38They are. Absolutely are.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Any of those quick fire questions where you would've thought,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44"No, can't do that"? Judith, anything for you?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Well, I'd have got...
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Henry VI too, I would've had to think about that.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Yeah, the last king of the house of Lancaster, it was, wasn't it? Yeah.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54That was quite a contest. Well done, Frankie.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56You've actually not just won,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58you've gone to the top of the leaderboard
0:27:58 > 0:28:00in a very decisive way there.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04And if you stay in the green, you will be in the semifinals.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05And who knows?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Maybe you could book a place at that table before too long.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Join us next time to find out who else might have what it takes
0:28:12 > 0:28:14to get on the leaderboard and maybe become an Egghead.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Until then, goodbye.
0:29:00 > 0:29:00Then I won't. Won't what?
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Let you catch me.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Expect fresh twists on BBC One.
