0:00:07 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19The 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 > 0:00:30We have launched a nationwide search to
0:00:30 > 0:00:32find the greatest quiz brains in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33By the end of the series,
0:00:33 > 0:00:37two people will emerge as champions and win the ultimate prize
0:00:37 > 0:00:42for quizzing enthusiasts - a place on the most fearsome quiz team
0:00:42 > 0:00:44in history, and here they are, the Eggheads.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46So, let's meet today's contestants,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49both hoping they've got what it takes to become an Egghead.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Hi, I'm Gerard Mackay and I'm an accounts assistant
0:00:52 > 0:00:54from Nesscliffe in Shropshire.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And I'm Jamie Dodding. I'm a civil servant
0:00:56 > 0:00:59from Peterborough, originally from Wallasey on Merseyside.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Well, welcome, gentlemen.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I've seen your quizzing history.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Gerard, series champion of 15 To One, Only Connect,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09and you've been on Eggheads, as well. I have indeed.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Do you want to tell us what happened
0:01:11 > 0:01:13when you came into the studio before?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Well, it went to Sudden Death, with me left on my own,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20and I was asked a question on Strictly Come Dancing,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I'm sure a subject you know well. OK.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26And I was asked which English rugby player was
0:01:26 > 0:01:31in the 2008 series of Strictly Come Dancing and I said Kenny Logan,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35so obviously forgot the English part of the question.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Eggs, do you know the answer to that? Austin Healey, I should think.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Austin Healey. Yes, indeed. Yes.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Jamie, you haven't done Eggheads, but you've also done Only Connect,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45which is very popular with people who come through
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Make Me An Egghead, I must say.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Is it an interesting show to do?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52It's fantastic, it's got a bit of a sort of puzzle side
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and a quiz side, so it's a bit of everything in there.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57And Pointless and University Challenge -
0:01:57 > 0:01:58the list goes on.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Yeah, I did Pointless with my brother, who is also
0:02:02 > 0:02:05ranked in the top 20 or 30 in the country
0:02:05 > 0:02:07and we won on that last year.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10OK, well, listen. Good luck to you both. Hope you do well.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13This is where you need to prove that you could be an Egghead.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Just like on Eggheads, both of you will compete over a series of
0:02:15 > 0:02:18different rounds where your knowledge will be tested
0:02:18 > 0:02:20on the regular Eggheads categories.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24So, the first head-to-head battle is on Food Drink.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'm going to ask each of you three multiple choice questions
0:02:26 > 0:02:28on that subject in turn.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34The prize for winning a round on Make Me An Egghead
0:02:34 > 0:02:37is that you gain an extra brain for the final,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40and it's not just any old brain, it's one of these brains over here,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44these amazing, superheated Eggheads brains.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Before the show, we tossed a coin and,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48as a result of that, Jamie,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51you have the option as to whether you want to play first or second.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'd like to go first, I think.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59OK, good luck. Food Drink.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And your first question, Jamie, in the UK,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Bolly is an affectionate nickname for a producer of which
0:03:05 > 0:03:07type of alcoholic drink?
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Well, many years ago I won six bottles of this drink
0:03:15 > 0:03:18from David Frost in a competition
0:03:18 > 0:03:20and Bolly is short for Bollinger,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22which is Champagne.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23You're absolutely right.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I've got to ask - tell us about the circumstances of that.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28This is many years ago and a friend of mine was
0:03:28 > 0:03:33on a TV show that David Frost was doing, and he asked them
0:03:33 > 0:03:36to predict what was going to be happening in six months' time
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and my friend gave me a ring and I did a bit of research
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and we won a dozen bottles of Bollinger, six each.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Brilliant!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46On to you, Gerard. Your first question.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Which British chef was made an honorary fellow
0:03:49 > 0:03:53of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2006?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Well, the chemistry bit makes me think of molecular gastronomy
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and the one of those there associated most with that
0:04:05 > 0:04:07is, of course, Heston Blumenthal.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Heston Blumenthal is right.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12On to you, Jamie. In which European country
0:04:12 > 0:04:16is the Italian-style cheese called Parrano produced?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Parrano.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Right, what does it sound like?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I go to Greece an awful lot and I've not heard
0:04:29 > 0:04:31of Parrano in Greece.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35And given it's cheese and a preponderance of cheese there,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I'll go for the Netherlands.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I like the logic, and you go to Greece, what,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41three, times year, I gather? Yes, I'm afraid I do!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44You've got family there? Yes, I've got family out there.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47And they're all eating Parrano cheese, aren't they?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50No, no, no, they're not, it's OK, it's Netherlands.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52OK, don't worry about that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54So, your second question, Gerard.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Often used in Asian cuisine, what type of vegetable is rakkyo?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Asian cuisine.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Sounds Japanese, and I associate Japanese with mushrooms.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I'm going to try mushroom.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14OK, well, Barry's there with a lot of experience
0:05:14 > 0:05:15of Japanese things.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I have, but this one has passed me by, I'm afraid. I don't know.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Anyone want to take a stab at it? Eggs?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I'd have gone onion. Yes?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24On the basis of...?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28That it just seems to be more preponderant in Asian
0:05:28 > 0:05:30cuisine than the other two.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31The answer is onion.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Well, they know their onions. Indeed, indeed.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37So Jamie, you have two and Gerard has one
0:05:37 > 0:05:41and if you get this one right, you will have taken the round.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46What type of dish is flamiche, a speciality of in northern France?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Is it...
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I guess I'd go... Fish omelette would be southern France,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'd have thought.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Um...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I think I'll go for vegetable tart.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05If you've got this right, you've won the round.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07You've got three questions in a row, well done.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Vegetable tart is the right answer.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12So, congratulations, Jamie, you've won that head-to-head.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18And you now gain an Egghead, so you can choose any one of the five.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's going to get more difficult but I think I'll definitely
0:06:21 > 0:06:25be taking Pat, I think, as a previous world champion.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Good choice.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So, Gerard doesn't yet have an Egghead,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30but Jamie has chosen Pat and
0:06:30 > 0:06:33we play on and the category you've got to face now is History.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Because you won the last one, Jamie,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37you get to choose whether you go first or second.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I'll go first again, if I may, please.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Here is your question.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Paul Revere played an important part in which event in American history?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Um...
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I thought Paul Revere was actually a dentist, as is my brother,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04but he did the...ride to Lexington, I think.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07It's the Boston Tea Party.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Boston Tea Party is quite right.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Gerard, during the second half
0:07:11 > 0:07:13of the 19th century,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15the condition known as phossy jaw particularly
0:07:15 > 0:07:18affected those who worked in which area?
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Phossy is P-H-O-S-S-Y.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, yes, the jaw got all horrible and swollen, didn't it?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31This was the poor little girls making matches.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34You're absolutely right and that's a terrible thing this, isn't it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I've seen pictures of affected children.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Yes, the jaws were eaten away by the phosphorus
0:07:39 > 0:07:42they put in the match head. Making matches, quite right.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Well done. Phossy jaw.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Back to you for your second question, Jamie.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Nelson had his right arm amputated after injuries
0:07:48 > 0:07:52he sustained in which 1797 battle?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Right.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I know it's one of two and he lost his eye at one
0:08:01 > 0:08:05and he lost his arm at the other. It's definitely not Genoa.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'm going to go for Santa Cruz.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Do you know this, Gerard?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I had a feeling it was Tenerife, so I'd have said Santa Cruz as well.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Santa Cruz is right.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Playing very well so far, Jamie.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18You haven't got a question wrong.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Back to you, Gerard.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24Which Emperor of Russia was assassinated in 1801?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Oh...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Well, I think that's too late for Ivan VI.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I have a feeling that's Paul...Paul I.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Just a glimmer or an inkling?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It's an inkling.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's good enough for me, it's quite right. Well done. Paul I.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49So, your third question, Jamie.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54In the UK, since 1945, the highest turnout ever
0:08:54 > 0:08:58for a general election was 83.9%, in which year?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Right.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I was looking for soon after post-war
0:09:08 > 0:09:10when there were lots of people who were...
0:09:12 > 0:09:16..up for democracy and up for voting,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19so I'll go for 1950.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Yes, you're absolutely right. Back of the Second World War,
0:09:22 > 0:09:251950 it was. Very, very high turnout.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Three to Jamie, two to Gerard.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You've got to get this right to stay in the round, Gerard.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Which US President was a skilled horseman
0:09:34 > 0:09:39and set an equestrian high jump record that lasted nearly 25 years?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Well, there's one there it clearly isn't -
0:09:47 > 0:09:48William Howard Taft.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Taft was famously a large chap.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55They had to get emergency services
0:09:55 > 0:09:58to get him out of the White House bath once, I think.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Famous palindrome - "Taft fat".
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Grover Cleveland or Ulysses S Grant?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Well, it suggests it's a military man, doesn't it?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09So, I'll try Ulysses S Grant.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Ulysses S Grant is correct.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Three points each.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14You're equal after the multiple-choice
0:10:14 > 0:10:16part of this round, and we go to Sudden Death.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19It gets a bit harder - I don't give you alternatives.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Jamie, your question.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Napoleon Bonaparte was born in which year?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Um, Napoleon Bonaparte was born in the same year
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Um, Napoleon Bonaparte was born in the same year
0:10:27 > 0:10:29as the Duke of Wellington.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34His dates are 1769 to 1821,
0:10:34 > 0:10:35so 1769.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Impressed. 1769 is quite right.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41OK, to stay in, Gerard,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44which 20th-century Prime Minister was the nephew
0:10:44 > 0:10:47of the 19th century Prime Minister Robert Cecil,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49the 3rd Marquess of Salisbury?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Gave rise to the famous phrase, Bob's your uncle.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I think it was Arthur J Balfour.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Arthur Balfour is quite right.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Playing well. Sudden Death. Back to you, Jamie.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02In 1973 the UK, Denmark and which other country
0:11:02 > 0:11:04joined the European Union?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I was tempted by...
0:11:07 > 0:11:10my go-to answer of Greece but I don't think...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I think I'll go for Ireland.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Ireland is right.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Gerard, Anne Boleyn and which other wife of Henry VIII
0:11:18 > 0:11:21are buried in the Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincular
0:11:21 > 0:11:23in the Tower of London?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I guess it's the other one who was assassinated...
0:11:26 > 0:11:28was...executed rather, in the Tower of London,
0:11:28 > 0:11:29so that will be Catherine Howard.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Catherine Howard is correct.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Jamie, your next question.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Which British World War II military leader
0:11:37 > 0:11:38was nicknamed The Auch?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Um, I think Auch is short for Auchinleck.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I need the first name and a surname.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Right.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Think...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Think of a 1940s name.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Claude.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You've got it right.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I don't know where that came from.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56That's really tough.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Back to you, Gerard, to stay in the round.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Which woman, born in London,
0:12:02 > 0:12:08was elected president of the Indian National Congress in 1917?
0:12:08 > 0:12:09I'm trying to think of someone,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13a woman I associate with India from that period.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I really haven't a clue. Florence Nightingale.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18I'm afraid you're wrong.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Annie Besant.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Jamie, well done. You've won the head-to-head.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29So, as a result, Jamie, after that gargantuan effort,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31you gain an Egghead.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I'm going to take Barry, I think.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35You're going to take Barry. You've already got Pat.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37You have two Eggheads, Gerard.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39We're still waiting for you to win your first.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I hope you can manage that in this round.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44The category for you now is Sport.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Jamie, because you won the last round,
0:12:46 > 0:12:47you can choose first or second.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50First has worked so far, so I'll try that again
0:12:50 > 0:12:51if I may, please.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Jamie, your first question.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57What cricketing term means the area
0:12:57 > 0:13:01between where a batsman takes guard and his toes?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'm glad I've got three alternatives here,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09because when you asked the question I didn't have an idea,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12but I don't think there's any such thing as a stumphole or
0:13:12 > 0:13:14a manhole, in cricket, anyway.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16The answer is blockhole.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Blockhole is correct.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Gerard, which of these Formula One teams made
0:13:22 > 0:13:25its debut in the 2016 season?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Well, I've heard of Force India and Sauber,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I'm sure, before that,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34so I'm going to go for Haas.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Haas is correct.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Jamie,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43which tennis player was nicknamed The Punisher during his career
0:13:43 > 0:13:44for his aggressive style?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Oh, well, I'd be thinking alliteration,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56but Pete Sampras was generally known as Pistol Pete.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Jim Courier and Andre Agassi are both really
0:14:03 > 0:14:04counter hitters.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'm going to go with Pete Sampras on the basis
0:14:09 > 0:14:11he's got more than one nickname.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14No, it's not, it's Andre Agassi. Oh.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16OK.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Your chance now, Gerard, to take advantage.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Which footballer scored a record 46 goals
0:14:23 > 0:14:26in his debut season for Manchester United?
0:14:31 > 0:14:37Oh. 46 in a season. That's quite high.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40I'm going to try Denis Law.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Well, I've got to go to Dave on this.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Denis Law would be the one I'd go for.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Denis Law is the right answer.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Dave's never going to be wrong on that.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53You're ahead, Gerard.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Jamie, you need to get this right to stay in this round.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Which racehorse was at the centre of a betting scandal in 1982
0:15:00 > 0:15:05in which it was replaced with another older horse
0:15:05 > 0:15:06that won the race?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Is the horse...
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Um...
0:15:13 > 0:15:171982 was a time when I was quite interested in horse racing...
0:15:19 > 0:15:23..and the answer to that one is it was a major,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25a major coup that went on when it was found later on,
0:15:25 > 0:15:26it was Flockton Grey.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29That's a beautiful bit of quiz trivia.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Is he right, though? Yes.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Yes? Yes. Oh, well done.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Flockton Grey is the right answer,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38so you're still in the round, but can Gerard finish it now?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Here's your question.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Whom did Jack Nicklaus defeat in a play-off of the 1962 US Open
0:15:44 > 0:15:47to win his first major championship?
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Was it...
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Sam Snead, I associate with an earlier period.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Do you know what? I'll go for Arnold Palmer.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05In the 1962 US Open,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Jack Nicklaus did indeed defeat Arnold Palmer.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Well done, Gerard,
0:16:09 > 0:16:15you've pulled it back there and you've won the final head-to-head.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18So you can now choose an Egghead for the final round.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Not Pat or Barry.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22I'm going to choose Dave.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Tremendous Knowledge Dave.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26OK, so, Gerard, you've got Dave in the final round.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32Jamie, you got Pat and Barry. Let's now play the final round.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37It is time to find out who is one step closer to becoming an Egghead
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and who will be eliminated from our search.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Gerard and Jamie, I'm going to ask each of you three questions in turn.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46This time they're all General Knowledge.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48In this final round you will have the backing of the Eggheads
0:16:48 > 0:16:51you've won over the course of the show,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54so Gerard, you'll have Dave right behind you
0:16:54 > 0:16:56and, Jamie, you've got Pat and Barry.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58You'll be able to call on your respective Eggheads
0:16:58 > 0:17:01for advice before giving an answer to a question.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05You can ask each of them for help only once, though.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07You could, by the way, ask both of them for
0:17:07 > 0:17:09help with one question.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Use them wisely, guys.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Gerard, as you won the last round,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15you get to choose whether you want to play first or second.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I'll go first this time.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Good luck. You've got Dave there remember.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26In which modern day country was the workwear manufacturer
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Levi Strauss born in 1829?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Levi Strauss. Levi Strauss.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I'm going to have to try Germany.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Germany is correct.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Jamie, your question.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44What is the term for the instigation or inducement
0:17:44 > 0:17:48of a person into the commission of a crime by
0:17:48 > 0:17:50an officer of the law?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Blackmail isn't really what the law would do, I don't think,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02and slander is very similar to libel,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04so I think it's entrapment,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06is the answer, I think.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Entrapment is correct.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Back to you, Gerard.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15LAR is the international vehicle registration code
0:18:15 > 0:18:17for which country?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23LAR.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Well, I'm thinking it's the Libya...
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Libyan Arab Republic...
0:18:33 > 0:18:35..so I'm going to try Libya.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Libya's right. Nobody's called on an Egghead yet.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42You've still got two back there, Jamie.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Philology is the study of the history of what?
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Philology.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Um...it's definitely not migration.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01The only thing that's thrown me is philo normally means
0:19:01 > 0:19:05love of something, but I think philology, I think is the...
0:19:05 > 0:19:07is language.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Language. You didn't even call on Barry and Pat.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Not yet.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Language is right, Jamie.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18You're now equal and the third question is yours, Gerard.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Music For The Jilted Generation
0:19:21 > 0:19:25is the title of a number one 1994 album by which act?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Oh...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Music For The Jilted Generation.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40I'm going to ask Dave on this one.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Dave, Music For The Jilted Generation is the title of
0:19:43 > 0:19:47a number one 1994 album by which act?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Right, Gerard, I'm not quite... I'm not sure.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Erm...
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Very difficult one for me. I'm going to rule out Underworld.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Now, The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy
0:20:01 > 0:20:02are around the same time.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09If I had to go somewhere, I'll start talking percentages now,
0:20:09 > 0:20:1270-30 to me, I would go The Prodigy.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15He's confirming what I'm thinking already,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18so I'm going to go for The Prodigy. OK.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20They did have an album called Fat Of The Land,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I remember that.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Did they have Music For The Jilted Generation as well?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27The answer is The Prodigy.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Ooh, yeah. Well done.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32And Dave, very good guidance there
0:20:32 > 0:20:34cos you just gave it a little bit of context.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36You weren't certain, but you were leaning heavily.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Here we are in the final round.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40And Jamie, you went second,
0:20:40 > 0:20:41so you have to get this right.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Which major philosopher spent his whole life
0:20:44 > 0:20:46within a few miles of his birthplace
0:20:46 > 0:20:49in Konigsberg, now Kaliningrad?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Right. Well, they're all major philosophers.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01That goes without saying.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04This seems like a perfect one to call Pat in on.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08So, can I ask Pat, if I may? OK. Well, you've saved them up.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12You haven't used them yet. You've got two Eggheads sitting there. Pat?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I have a strong feeling that Immanuel Kant is linked
0:21:15 > 0:21:17strongly to Konigsberg.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I'd recommend Immanuel Kant.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I'm not absolutely certain but I'm fairly confident.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Well, that sounded to me more than 70-30 there.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Yeah, I know Kant did hypothetical imperatives
0:21:29 > 0:21:32and categorical imperatives and it sounds like Pat's being
0:21:32 > 0:21:38quite categorical on that one, so I'll go with Pat on Immanuel Kant.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Immanuel Kant is your answer.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41It's correct.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Thank you very much, Pat.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Well done. So you've both got three out of three.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46You're great quizzers.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47You've still got Barry there, Jamie,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50so you've got a slight advantage here, as we go into Sudden Death.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53It gets a bit harder. I don't give you alternative answers.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56You can't use Dave again, obviously, Gerard, so you're on your own.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Your question.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Which planet in the solar system is named
0:22:00 > 0:22:01for the Roman God of War?
0:22:03 > 0:22:04That is Mars.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Mars is right.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Sudden Death. Back to you, Jamie.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10"Here comes a candle to light you to bed,"
0:22:10 > 0:22:14is a line from which nursery rhyme?
0:22:14 > 0:22:15I know what I want to say.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Here comes a candle.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Upstairs downstairs.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32The question is, do I guess what I think it is or do I go to Barry?
0:22:32 > 0:22:33I see the problem.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I think I'll ask Barry.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41So, Barry, "Here comes a candle to light you to bed,"
0:22:41 > 0:22:43is a line from which nursery rhyme?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'm been racking my brain trying to run through it and the one
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I'm coming up with is, "Wee Willy Winkie runs through the town,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52"upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown."
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I don't know the end of that but,
0:22:54 > 0:22:58"Here comes a candle to light you to bed," would seem to be
0:22:58 > 0:23:02a logical follow-on for that, so I would say Wee Willy Winkie.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04But I really don't know for sure.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Wee Willy Winkie was what I was going to say before and I got
0:23:07 > 0:23:09where Barry did there, that I couldn't think of the,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11"Here comes a something that will take you to bed,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14"here comes something or other to chop off your head,"
0:23:14 > 0:23:15or whatever.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19I've got no other answer, so I'll have to go with Wee Willy Winkie.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22OK, Wee Willy Winkie is your answer.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Barry's come on for that and running it forwards and backwards there.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Do you know, Gerard?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30It's Oranges And Lemons, isn't it?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It is Oranges And Lemons. Barry's got it wrong.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35You both got it wrong there. My goodness.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39You got all the hard questions right and went out on the nursery rhyme.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41We say congratulations, Gerard, you have won.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49The power of autosuggestion because actually when he said
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Wee Willy Winkie, I thought, "No, wait, he's right."
0:23:51 > 0:23:55I thought it was. Can you help us? How does it go then?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Oranges and lemons... Say the bells of St Clemens.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00"When will you pay me?" say the bells of Old Bailey
0:24:00 > 0:24:02"When I grow rich," say the bells of Shoreditch
0:24:02 > 0:24:05"When will that be?" say the bells of Stepney
0:24:05 > 0:24:07"I do not know," says the great bell at Bow...
0:24:07 > 0:24:08And then it just goes...
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Here comes the candle to light you to bed
0:24:09 > 0:24:11And here comes the chopper to chop off your head.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13For non-payment of the...
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Yeah. But it's almost bolted on, isn't it?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Yes. It's not obvious.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Honestly, what brilliant quizzing. Amazing, Jamie.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Thank you very much indeed. And, Gerard, congratulations to you.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25You held your nerve there and you've proved that you can win
0:24:25 > 0:24:28despite being an Egghead down in the last round.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Winning obviously comes as naturally to you as it does to our Eggheads.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34You are one step closer to joining our quiz Goliaths,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37but your work for today isn't quite done.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40We give you three points for each round you've won today
0:24:40 > 0:24:43so, with Dave there, you've got three points already.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You're now going to get the chance to add to those points
0:24:45 > 0:24:48by answering quickfire questions for two minutes.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51At the end of that, we give you one point for each correct answer
0:24:51 > 0:24:54and we're going to see where your final score puts you
0:24:54 > 0:24:55on our leaderboard.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59The top four places on the board at the end of the heats will go
0:24:59 > 0:25:00through to the semifinals.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It's worth as having a look here
0:25:02 > 0:25:05because the board is quite populated now.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09You've got too obviously get about 20 to be in the key green area
0:25:09 > 0:25:13and to be safe, you really need to be 28 or above.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16And the disadvantage you have here is just having had one Egghead,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18you really need to power through these questions.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20So all to play for, Gerard. Are you ready?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Yes, thank you, Jeremy. OK.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Good luck. Your time starts now.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30I'm afraid you were just out of time on that last one.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33It was 1950s but the buzzer had gone.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35So that was really extraordinary.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38You did not get an answer wrong there, Gerard,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40and you scored 24 points.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I suspect that's the highest in the quickfire round that we've had.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04You're in the green area and, as things stand,
0:28:04 > 0:28:07you will be a semifinalist... and you quizzed brilliantly.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11And actually, funnily enough, it's partly because you quiz so well,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14you deprived Gerard of any other Eggheads.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17So you probably would have scored even more against another opponent.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Stay in the green. That's the key.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Thank you, both of you,
