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 > 0:00:28We've launched a nationwide search
0:00:28 > 0:00:30to find the greatest quiz brains in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31By the end of the series,
0:00:31 > 0:00:33two people will emerge as champions
0:00:33 > 0:00:37and win the ultimate prize for quizzing enthusiasts -
0:00:37 > 0:00:40a place on the most fearsome quiz team in history.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Yes, Eggheads, I'm talking about you.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I know you don't feel fearsome all the time, but you are.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Really? Yes.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Seriously. Let's meet today's contestants,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53both hoping they've got what it takes to become an Egghead.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Hi, I'm David Edwards, I'm a retired physics teacher,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58originally from Barry in South Wales
0:00:58 > 0:01:01but now living at Denstone in Staffordshire.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hello, I'm Terry Toomey, I'm a civil servant,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06originally from London but now live in Macclesfield in Cheshire.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08So, David and Terry, welcome.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Amazing quizzing pedigree you've both got.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13David, starting with you, you won ?1 million.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14I did, yes, yes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18You paused before you answered that, as if just checking it's true.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20No, I remember it very well, thanks very much, Jeremy, yes.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22So, you're in that select group.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24How many millionaires have we got on the Eggheads?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Let's just remind us.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Pat and Judith did, as well.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Do you sometimes meet up as...
0:01:31 > 0:01:34millionaires? Yes, yes, one way or another.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Pat and Judith were both in a sort of team,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40we got together for a charity thing close to where I live.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43That's probably about eight years ago now, isn't it?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Yes. If not more.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Terry, you've been, well, you've both been on Are You An Egghead?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50which is the forerunner of this programme,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52so you know what this feels like, Terry.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Yes, and I'm just as terrified this time.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Can you remember how it ended for you, Terry?
0:01:57 > 0:01:58I got to the quarterfinal,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01where I got beaten by someone called Shaun Wallace.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02I think he's gone on to do other things.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04OK, yes, I've heard of him.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05David, what about you?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Well, I got to the final on the second series
0:02:08 > 0:02:09and I came up against....
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Pat Gibson. Yes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15In fact, somebody the other day told a similar story,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17so you've obviously dispatched a few people on the way, Pat.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Not enough, not enough, Jeremy.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Well, he might even be able to help you this time.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Who knows? Good luck to you both.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26This is going to be a contest, isn't it?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27And this is where, contestants,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29you need to prove that you could be an Egghead.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Just like on Eggheads, both of you will compete
0:02:31 > 0:02:34over a series of different rounds where your knowledge will be tested
0:02:34 > 0:02:36on the regular Eggheads categories.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39So, the first head-to-head battle is going to be on Sport, OK?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I'm going to ask each of the three multiple-choice questions
0:02:42 > 0:02:44on Sport in turn.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50The prize for winning a round on Make Me An Egghead
0:02:50 > 0:02:53is that you gain one of these five brains for the final.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Now, before the show, we tossed a coin,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58and as a result of that, Terry,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00you can decide whether you want to go first or second.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01I think I'll go first.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06So, here we go, Terry, good luck.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11In April 2016, Max Litchfield won a place to represent Team GB
0:03:11 > 0:03:14at the 2016 Olympics in which sport?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21It's not a name that I've heard of, but I think I can rule out golf,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24because I think I probably would've heard of him if he was a golfer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Swimming and rowing...
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I'm going to go for rowing.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Rowing is your answer.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33David, do you know this one?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I would've gone for swimming, but...
0:03:35 > 0:03:36It's swimming.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So, you got that wrong, Terry.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And we go over to you, David.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45The tennis player Jo-Wilfried Tsonga represents which country
0:03:45 > 0:03:47in international competition?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Er, right, it's...
0:03:53 > 0:03:57He's definitely... I'd like to talk about the other two,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01but I know for a fact that he's a Frenchman.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03So, France.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05France is correct.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Terry, Stuart Bingham and which other snooker player
0:04:08 > 0:04:11are the only players to have won world titles
0:04:11 > 0:04:14at both amateur and professional level?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Erm...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Obviously they've all won world professional titles.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I think it was Shaun Murphy.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32OK, Shaun Murphy is your answer.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Actually it was Stuart Bingham and Ken Doherty.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38So, David, you have a chance to take this round.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40At the 1966 World Cup final,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43which of England's goals were scored by Geoff Hurst?
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Right, it's a long time ago, but I was there.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Not at the match, but watching it.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01As soon as they came up I was filled with doubt,
0:05:01 > 0:05:06but I...I think it's one, three and four.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Martin Peters got the second one, Geoff Hurst got one, three and four.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11It is quite right, David.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13And there's no way back in this round for Terry.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16So we say congratulations, David, you've won the first head-to-head.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24OK, as a result, you can choose an Egghead, David,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26to play with you in the final round.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Er, I'll pick Kevin if I may, please.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31OK. Why does everyone keep doing that?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35David now has one Egghead, Kevin, to help him in the final round.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Terry doesn't have one yet.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39We're going to move on to another category, and it's Film TV.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41David, because you won the previous round,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44you can decide if you want to go first or second.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45I'll go first, please.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50And here we go.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53What is the profession of Tom Cruise's character
0:05:53 > 0:05:56in the 1992 film, A Few Good Men?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Er, he is, he's actually a naval officer, I think,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07but he's a naval officer working as a lawyer
0:06:07 > 0:06:11in a trial, or naval or...
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Yes, naval, I think, rather than army.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19But he was working as a lawyer, you know, in a court case.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Lawyer is correct.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Terry, which of these comic book heroes
0:06:24 > 0:06:28appears in the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War?
0:06:33 > 0:06:39I'm trying to think, Captain America I think was...Marvel,
0:06:39 > 0:06:44and I think Batman and Superman were both DC,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46so I'd say, by process of elimination, Spider-Man.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Yeah, you're right, Terry.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Well done, Spider-Man.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52First point in the contest.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Good stuff. David, your question -
0:06:54 > 0:06:57in 2016, who took on the role of Anne Hathaway
0:06:57 > 0:07:00in the comedy series, Upstart Crow?
0:07:04 > 0:07:11Er, I used to, when this was on, not that long ago,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I used to come in and catch the end of the programme
0:07:15 > 0:07:18when I came home from my choir practice,
0:07:18 > 0:07:23and I remember seeing some scenes at the end of each programme
0:07:23 > 0:07:26where David Mitchell was sitting, pipe-smoking,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29chatting to Liza Tarbuck - Liza Tarbuck.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Liza Tarbuck is quite right.
0:07:32 > 0:07:39Terry, All Time High was the theme tune to which 1983 James Bond film?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I'm not a great James Bond fan, I have to say.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50But I know it's by Rita Coolidge, but that doesn't particularly help.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I think it was Octopussy.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57It was Octopussy, you're right.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58So, you're level.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00David, your question -
0:08:00 > 0:08:03which of these characters was killed in the 2016 series
0:08:03 > 0:08:05of the TV drama Line Of Duty?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Well, in attempting to answer this one,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I've really got no alternative but to just look for a name
0:08:16 > 0:08:18that looks suitable for a victim.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23For no great reason other than that, I will go for Lindsay Denton.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Lindsay Denton is the right answer!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I guess that's top-line quizzing there.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Yeah, you guys do that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34David on three points.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Terry on two. Terry, to stay in, you need to get this right.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Here's your third question -
0:08:39 > 0:08:41who played the role of Philip Lombard
0:08:41 > 0:08:46in the 2015 BBC adaptation of the Agatha Christie murder mystery
0:08:46 > 0:08:47And Then There Were None?
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Right, I watched this and I couldn't think of who it was.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59But I don't remember Hugh Bonneville being in it
0:08:59 > 0:09:02and James Norton I don't remember being in it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Aidan Turner.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Your answer is? Aidan Turner.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Aidan Turner is the right answer, well done.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10After three questions each, the scores are level.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11We go to Sudden Death -
0:09:11 > 0:09:13gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternatives.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15So, David, your question -
0:09:15 > 0:09:19what is the title of the 2016 film starring Taron Egerton
0:09:19 > 0:09:21and Hugh Jackman that tells the life story
0:09:21 > 0:09:24of an underdog British ski jumper?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I can only think of one British ski jumper
0:09:27 > 0:09:30and certainly one British underdog ski jumper,
0:09:30 > 0:09:35and that's Eddie Edwards, so what would you call the film?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I will go for Eddie The Eagle.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40You're absolutely right and it...
0:09:40 > 0:09:44To guess the title of the film is actually no mean feat.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45You obviously were right about the content,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48but you've got the title right, so well done.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50So, we're on Sudden Death, Terry.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53This could end rapidly if you get this wrong.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56"Fasten your seatbelt, it's going to be a bumpy night,"
0:09:56 > 0:09:59is a famous line from which 1950 film?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I think it is...
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Casablanca.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I can see why you say that.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It's not Casablanca. What year was Casablanca, firstly?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13'43. Well, '42.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14'42-'43.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Yes, but this is what, Eggs?
0:10:16 > 0:10:17All About Eve.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20All About Eve is the answer.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22So on Sudden Death, David, you come through.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Well done, you've won a head-to-head.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30And you can choose another Egghead. Not Kevin, you've already got him.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33There being history there, I shall choose Pat, if I may, please.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Oh, I see, because now having knocked you out,
0:10:37 > 0:10:38he's going to maybe keep you in.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I hope he'll do the decent thing, yes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Are you feeling this is Shakespearean, Pat,
0:10:44 > 0:10:45your chance to atone?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I hope I can help him and close the circle.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Wash your hands.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53So, OK, David has two Eggheads now to help him in the final.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Terry, you've got to win one now to give yourself
0:10:56 > 0:10:59just a bit of a defence against David in the final.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02The third and last head-to-head is on History.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04And, David, as the winner of the previous round,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07you can decide whether you go first or second.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08I'll kick off again, please.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14And here's your first question, David -
0:11:14 > 0:11:18where was Mary Queen of Scots executed in 1587?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Well, she may well have had periods of incarceration
0:11:28 > 0:11:30in all of them, I can't remember,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34but certainly she fetched up in the end at Fotheringhay Castle,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38where she was executed, so that would be my answer.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Fotheringhay Castle is quite right.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Terry, your question - started in 1948,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47the initiative to help rebuild Western Europe after World War II,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51which involved the US giving over $12 billion,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53was given what name?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01What came into my head before the answers came up
0:12:01 > 0:12:02was the Marshall Plan,
0:12:02 > 0:12:08and as I've never heard of either the Cullen or the Ickes Plan,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I'm going to have to go for the Marshall Plan.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Marshall Plan is correct.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15David, we go back to you.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Woodrow Wilson was first sworn in as US president in which year?
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Right, now going here, they're close together, so what I've got to do,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33really, is to have a think about
0:12:33 > 0:12:37which years presidents are sworn in.
0:12:37 > 0:12:412017, the next US president will be sworn in,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43so we're looking for something
0:12:43 > 0:12:47which is a whole number of four years away from that.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52So, that has to be, if I'm doing some sums correctly,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55that has to be 1913.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Well done, brilliant logic, 1913 is correct.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Terry, it would be nice if he got one wrong, wouldn't it?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03It would be lovely!
0:13:03 > 0:13:09The Roman town of Venta Icenorum became which modern city?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Is this, Terry...
0:13:15 > 0:13:19I don't think it's Sheffield, for...
0:13:20 > 0:13:22For no reason at all, there's no reason I can rule it out,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24it just doesn't sound right.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I think it might be Norwich.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Norwich is right.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Two points each.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Third question to you, David.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The American journalist Lowell Thomas is most remembered
0:13:37 > 0:13:41for his association with and promotion of which figure?
0:13:49 > 0:13:54I can't, I have to say, I'm really not sure.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Winston Churchill is certainly a very popular figure in America.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Erm, for some reason I can't imagine TE Lawrence
0:14:03 > 0:14:06having many great protagonists in America,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08but I may be totally wrong.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14Um, with no great confidence and purely by sort of a warped logic,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I'll go for Winston Churchill.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Winston Churchill.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Do you know this one, Terry? Is he right?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It sounds right, but I'm not sure,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I think I would have gone for TE Lawrence.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25TE Lawrence, the answer.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27You've now got a question wrong, David.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31And that means, Terry, you've got to take advantage now.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Your third question, if you get this wrong, we go to Sudden Death.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38In British history, Richard I was fatally wounded
0:14:38 > 0:14:41whilst besieging which French castle?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I...honestly don't know
0:14:48 > 0:14:50and I'm not even sure I can make an educated guess,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54so I'm probably going to have to make an uneducated one,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57um, and go down the right for Bourdeilles.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Bourdeilles is your answer.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Now, Judith is our French correspondent. What do you think?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I think it is Chalus.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Chalus is the right answer.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08OK, Sudden Death now.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Very tense here. David, if you win this round,
0:15:10 > 0:15:11you've got three Eggheads behind you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Nobody's yet overcome a contestant with three behind them.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Terry, if you win it, you get a chance to fight back
0:15:18 > 0:15:20with an Egghead of your choosing.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Sudden Death, David, your question -,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25the Detective Chief Superintendent who led the efforts
0:15:25 > 0:15:31to get the Kray twins arrested in 1968 was known as Nipper who?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Really, I don't think I have any idea,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37but I'll go for Nipper Jackson.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Terry, do you know this one? I do.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Strangely enough, I used to live in the same block of flats
0:15:43 > 0:15:45as Violet Kray.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It's Nipper Read.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49It is indeed, real name, Leonard Read.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So, again, Terry, you have a chance to take the round.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54We're on Sudden Death here.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58In 1895, which ship was purchased by a Portuguese company
0:15:58 > 0:16:00and renamed Ferreira?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03I'll say, because it may have changed its name back,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05the Cutty Sark.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08If you got this right, the round is over.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Is he right? He's right.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Yeah, you're right, it is the Cutty Sark.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14There we go, Sudden Death.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Congratulations, Terry, you have won the final head-to-head.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23So, you can choose an Egghead now, to help you in the final.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Who would you like? It can't be either of the two gents on the end.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Simply because I admire his shirt so much, I think I'll go for Barry.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34All right, so, Barry, in the final round for Terry,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37and, David, you've got Kevin and Pat in the final round,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40so we're really set up for quite a contest.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Let's play that final round now.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45So, this is what we've been playing towards,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47it's time to find out who is one step closer
0:16:47 > 0:16:50to becoming an Egghead and who's going to be eliminated
0:16:50 > 0:16:51from our search.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55David and Terry, I'm going to ask each of you three questions in turn.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58In this final round,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01you'll have the backing of the Eggheads you've won
0:17:01 > 0:17:02over the course of the show.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06So, David, you'll have the help of Kevin and Pat there.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Terry, you've got Barry right behind you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11You're going to be able to call on your respective Eggheads for advice
0:17:11 > 0:17:13before giving an answer to a question.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16You can ask each of them for help only once,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18so you must use them wisely.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Now, Terry, as you won the last round,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24you get to choose whether you want to play first or second.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25I'll go first.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30So, our final round and here we go.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36In 2005, Jeremy Hunt became an MP representing which constituency?
0:17:41 > 0:17:47I honestly can't remember, so I'm going to play my Barry card early.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49You're bringing in Barry now.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50OK.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'm sorry, I really don't know this one,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54except that I don't think it's Aldershot.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56That's fine.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59I don't think it's...
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I have a feeling it's not Carshalton and Wallington,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04because I have friends who live there
0:18:04 > 0:18:07and I think they would've mentioned if Jeremy Hunt was their MP.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Southwest Surrey just doesn't sound like a constituency.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It probably is, but it doesn't sound like one, so...
0:18:16 > 0:18:18..although having asked Barry for his advice,
0:18:18 > 0:18:19I think I'll have to go against it
0:18:19 > 0:18:21and I think I'm going to go for Aldershot.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Aldershot is your answer.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Some of them have names which, you're right,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27they're just not very interesting names,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Southwest Surrey is not a very interesting name,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31but it is a constituency, and it is Jeremy Hunt's.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36OK, first question to David -
0:18:36 > 0:18:38which of these characters from children's TV
0:18:38 > 0:18:40is played by Justin Fletcher?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I think I shall call an Egghead in to play.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'll see if Pat has an idea.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56OK, so, Pat...
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Sorry, Pat.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I don't know this is your kind of thing, Pat,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01but which of these characters from children's TV
0:19:01 > 0:19:02is played by Justin Fletcher?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I'm sorry, David, I don't have any good information on this.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Mr Tumble is marginally more familiar as a name,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12but that's nothing. I really don't...
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I don't have anything solid to offer on this, I'm afraid.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18OK.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Well, like Pat, Mr Tumble rings a bell to me
0:19:23 > 0:19:26as somebody who at least exists,
0:19:26 > 0:19:31but I'm intrigued by the fact that Mister Maker
0:19:31 > 0:19:35specifically has the word Mister rather than M-R,
0:19:35 > 0:19:39suggesting that, you know, you wouldn't make that up.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43And I could imagine that it could be somebody
0:19:43 > 0:19:47on a sort of junior DIY show
0:19:47 > 0:19:50or something like that, if such a thing exists.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55So I'm going to try and keep my Kevin powder dry,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57rightly or wrongly, and I'm going to make...
0:19:59 > 0:20:03..an attempt and say Mister Maker.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05OK, so you've gone Mister Maker.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07It's really funny, this, because as the parent
0:20:07 > 0:20:09of still relatively young children,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Justin Fletcher is as famous in our house as Tom Cruise.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16He is so, so famous.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17And he's Mr Tumble.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19All right, so where are we?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Well, you've both got your first question wrong,
0:20:21 > 0:20:22you've both lost an Egghead.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Slight advantage to David because he had two to start with.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26We go back to you, Terry.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Zia is the Italian word for which relative?
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Z-I-A.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Erm, I'm...
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I've never been very good at languages.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Some people would say I'm not very good at English.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45But I think I'll go for...
0:20:47 > 0:20:49..Aunt.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Aunt is correct.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52So you're ahead, Terry, for now.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54We go back to David.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Which of these words means to chip flint with a sharp blow
0:20:59 > 0:21:00in order to make tools?
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Er, right, I've seen programmes where archaeologists
0:21:08 > 0:21:12have gone through the process of knapping flint,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14so knap is my answer.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Knap is the right answer.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You're equal after two questions.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Your third question, Terry. Tense in here.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25What is the surname of Claire, Rachel, Maggie,
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Anna and Helen, the sisters who are central characters
0:21:30 > 0:21:33of various Marian Keyes novels?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Um...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Well, Marian Keyes I know is Irish,
0:21:40 > 0:21:44so I'm looking for the most Irish of those names,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48which would be Walsh.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Your answer is Walsh?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54You're right.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56So, having been...had the upper hand, David,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00throughout this interesting contest, you're now above the precipice.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04You've got to get this one right. You've still got Kevin.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10In 1882 the adventurer Frederick Gustavus Burnaby,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14crossed the English Channel in which mode of transport?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20The year again, please, Jeremy?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22In 1882.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Right, so I...
0:22:24 > 0:22:26..may well have done it in a hot-air balloon,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29but it wouldn't have been newsworthy in 1882
0:22:29 > 0:22:35because I think that was done about 100 years prior to that.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39So, we're down to canoe, or glider.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43My inclination is to go for a glider,
0:22:43 > 0:22:50but I'm going to play the Kevin card if I may, please, and just ask him.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54OK, well, you've put some thoughts in our mind there. Kevin?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I'm sorry, David, I don't know,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59my reasoning on ruling out balloon would be the same as yours.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03It's much too late, really, it would be nothing particularly...
0:23:04 > 0:23:07..noteworthy about that then.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10But as between the other two, as you suggested,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I'd probably wind up going for glider.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I've been trying to think if I...
0:23:15 > 0:23:17I'm sure I've heard of Burnaby somewhere.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23And I've been trying to think as between,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25as between the two, but your instinct on this
0:23:25 > 0:23:28will probably be as good as mine, I think.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33OK, so unfortunately, rather like Pat earlier,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36we haven't had a firm lead there, I think it's fair to say.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Right, well, having eliminated hot-air balloon,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43my thinking as far as canoe is concerned
0:23:43 > 0:23:46that there wouldn't be so much that was noteworthy
0:23:46 > 0:23:50about crossing in a canoe as opposed to any other small boat,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52so, er...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57It would be a big event and worth putting Mr Burnaby
0:23:57 > 0:23:59into the record books...
0:24:00 > 0:24:04..if it were a glider, less so if it were a canoe,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06and I think he'd have arrived a bit too late
0:24:06 > 0:24:08for it to have been a hot-air balloon,
0:24:08 > 0:24:13so, with my fingers very firmly crossed, I'm going to go for glider.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15OK, glider is your answer.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Terry, do you know this one? I don't,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19but I would've followed the same logic that David had.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It sounds like it should be glider.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25If you've got this wrong, the contest is over and Terry has won.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29If you've got it right, we go to Sudden Death.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33In 1882, Frederick Gustavus Burnaby crossed the English Channel
0:24:33 > 0:24:35in a hot-air balloon.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41So, David, you got it wrong and we say congratulations, Terry,
0:24:41 > 0:24:42you have won.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50I completely follow the logic there
0:24:50 > 0:24:52and I actually thought when I saw the right answer was hot-air balloon
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and you hadn't gone for it, I thought,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56"Well, Kevin will put you right,"
0:24:56 > 0:24:58but, obviously, Kevin, it's just not on your grid.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00No, not this one, I'm afraid, no.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02David, what can I say?
0:25:02 > 0:25:06You were absolutely in charge of the contest until the last moment.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08And let it slip. Congratulations, Terry,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10you've proved that winning comes as naturally to you
0:25:10 > 0:25:12as it does to our Eggheads
0:25:12 > 0:25:15and you're one step closer to joining our quiz Goliaths.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17But your work for today isn't quite done.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19We give you three points for each round you've won,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21that's three points you've got already.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23You're now going to get the chance to add to those points
0:25:23 > 0:25:26by answering quickfire questions for two minutes.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30At the end, we'll give you one point for each correct answer
0:25:30 > 0:25:33and we'll see where your final score puts you on our leaderboard.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35The top four places at the end of the heats
0:25:35 > 0:25:37will make it through to the semifinals,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40so take a look at the leaderboard as it currently stands,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43and you basically need to get into the green and stay there.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45If you come top at the end of today,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47you can't be dislodged from the green area,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49which is the all-important area.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50So, good luck, all to play for.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Are you ready to play? As ready as I'll ever be.
