0:00:06 > 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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18The question is do you have the brains to join them?
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello, and welcome to Make Me An Egghead.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30We have launched a nationwide search to find the greatest quiz brains in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34By the end of the series, two people will emerge as champions and
0:00:34 > 0:00:37win the ultimate prize for quizzing enthusiasts -
0:00:37 > 0:00:42a place on the most fearsome quiz team in history, the Eggheads.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44So, first of all, hello, Eggheads.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47ALL: Hello, Jeremy. Are you ready to make way for somebody?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Absolutely. Absolutely. Very good. There's some really quality people coming through in this competition.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54We are seeing some great people, and we've got two more today.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Let's meet them.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Both hoping they've got what it takes to become an Egghead.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hi. My name is Rachael Nyman, I'm from Manchester,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04and I run a small independent record label.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08I'm Beth Webster, I live in Watford, and I'm a health and safety advisor.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So, Beth, Rachael, welcome.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Thank you. Great to have you here.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15And let's just firstly check who has done Eggheads before.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I have. Right.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19And I always hate to ask, did it end badly?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22It did, yes. It was right at the beginning, though, wasn't it?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26It was. I think we were right at the end of the very first season.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27So quite some time ago. More than a decade ago.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29More than a decade ago, yes.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Gosh. So you were, Eggheads, at the time, very, very young and...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35You weren't even born, Lisa.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Careful, careful. But I think you'd only have seen Kevin, wouldn't you?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41I would, yeah. Kevin was the only one of the current panel that was there at the time.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Remarkable.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Rachael, you haven't done Eggheads but you've been a Mastermind
0:01:45 > 0:01:46semifinalist.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Yes, three times.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49And what was that like?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53It's quite nerve-racking beforehand but, I think, once I got in the chair it was easier to focus then.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I was less frightened when I was actually sat in the chair.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00And one of your specialist subjects was John Peel's festive '50s, is that right?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Yes, I was a huge John Peel fan.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Started listening to him when I was probably about 11 or 12.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So he formed my music tastes, pretty much.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11And so, Beth, Mastermind, tell us about your specialist subjects.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I've done a variety of topics,
0:02:13 > 0:02:18ranging from novels of Michael Crichton through life and works of a couple
0:02:18 > 0:02:20of artists to the Muppet movies.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Oh, you did the Muppet movies as a specialist subject? I did... Yes, I did. How brilliant! Yeah.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I bet that made John Humphrys laugh, did it?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29It did, and I actually managed to get a full house on my specialist
0:02:29 > 0:02:31subject round, which I was very proud of.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Fantastic. Well, listen, lots of luck to you both, here.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Contestants, this is where you need to prove that you could be an Egghead.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Just like on Eggheads,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40both of you will compete over a series of different rounds,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44where your knowledge will be tested on the regular Eggheads categories.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47So the first head-to-head battle is going to be on the subject of Sport.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I will ask each of you three multiple-choice questions on Sport
0:02:50 > 0:02:51in turn.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57The prize for winning a round on Make Me An Egghead
0:02:57 > 0:03:01is the exciting thing where you can select an Egghead to play with you
0:03:01 > 0:03:03in the final - an extra brain.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Before the show we tossed a coin.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06As the result of that, Beth,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09you have the option as to whether you would like to play first or second.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15So, Sport. Good luck to you both.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17And, Beth, here's your first question.
0:03:17 > 0:03:24Students at Canada's McGill University formulated the rules of which sport in the 1870s?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Being that you asked about a Canadian university,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35it takes me straight away down to ice hockey, that being, you know,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37the sort of biggest sport in Canada.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41They play a different form of gridiron football in Canada,
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Canadian football.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46But I don't... I think squash has been around a bit longer than that.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47So I'm going to go for ice hockey.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Ice hockey is quite right.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Rachael, your question. The American Tony Hawk is best known as a major
0:03:55 > 0:03:56figure in which sport?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Well, this is actually one I do know,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06not really because I'm a huge fan of the sport he's involved in,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09but because I'm a big fan of the radio panel show
0:04:09 > 0:04:10I'm Sorry I Haven't Clue,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13which the comedian Tony Hawks regularly takes part in.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16And they make jokes about the fact that he's not the skateboarding
0:04:16 > 0:04:17champion.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23So I'm pretty sure that Tony Hawk is a champion in skateboarding.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25You are absolutely right, yeah.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Beth, onto you. In feet and inches,
0:04:28 > 0:04:32how tall is the former world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Well, Manny Pacquiao is not a heavyweight,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45so he's not a terribly tall boxer.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49So I'm taking out the six feet and half an inch, already.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Looking at him on telly, I would put him a little taller than me.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56So let's go for five foot six and a half.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Five feet six and a half is correct.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03We are back with you, Rachael.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07The footballer Diego Costa was born in which country?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I mean, it could be any of them.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I'm inclined to think, though,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17that he would be more likely to have
0:05:17 > 0:05:20come from a Spanish-speaking country. So...
0:05:21 > 0:05:22I'm inclined to...
0:05:24 > 0:05:25..go for Argentina,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29being that it's the only one that has Spanish as its main language.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31OK, Argentina.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Anyone know this?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Brazil. Brazil?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37He was born in Brazil but he plays for Spain.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39OK, so Brazil is the answer there, Rachael.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Beth, we go back to you. Get this right, you can win the round.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49Paula Radcliffe's 2003 world marathon record of two hours 15 minutes and
0:05:49 > 0:05:5125 seconds was set in which city?
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Oh, this is a...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I've got it down to two.
0:06:01 > 0:06:07I'm discounting Madrid. Berlin is known for the marathon that sets the
0:06:07 > 0:06:12fastest times because of how the course is set out,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15but I'm pretty sure she did it in London.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17So I'm going to go with London.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19London is indeed the correct answer.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21So three out of three, Beth,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23which means you've won the first head-to-head.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27And, as a result, you can grab an Egghead.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Which one would you like to help you in the final?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Well, as he was here in my first time round,
0:06:34 > 0:06:35I'm going to be picking Kevin.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38OK. Classic Egghead on the end.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41So, Beth has just got Kevin, Rachael yet to get an Egghead.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Let's see if we can change that.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Second head-to-head is Arts And Books.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49So, because you won the first, Beth,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51you can choose whether you go first or second now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Let's go first again please, Jeremy.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59And here is your question. What is the first name of Mr Rochester in
0:06:59 > 0:07:01the Charlotte Bronte novel Jane Eyre?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Oh, it's been a long time since I've read this book.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14I read it for GCSE and I don't think I've read it again since.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19Harry just seems like too much of a throwaway name for Mr Rochester.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23So George, Edward...
0:07:25 > 0:07:27As I don't know, and this is...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32..more of a guess than not, I'm going to go for Edward.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35You have not got a question wrong so far.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Edward is the answer.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Rachael, over to you on Arts And Books.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46Which historical novelist is responsible for the Wars Of The Roses series of books?
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Right.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01I feel like... I feel like CJ Sansom is not...
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I don't think he wrote...
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Or she wrote the Wars Of The Roses books.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Conn Iggulden, I'm pretty sure has written some historical novels from
0:08:09 > 0:08:11that period.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I don't think it's Bernard Cornwell. I think I'll go for Conn Iggulden.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Conn Iggulden is the right answer.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18OK, Beth, back to you.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Which French playwright died in 1673,
0:08:22 > 0:08:27shortly after being overcome by a seizure while acting in one of his own plays?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Well, I must say that French literature is not
0:08:38 > 0:08:41a particular strong point of mine.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47I'm going to have to really guess at this one, and say Moliere.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Eggheads, Barry, do you know this one? Definitely Moliere.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Moliere is right. Well done.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Still not got a question wrong.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00Rachael, onto you. Captain Arthur Donnithorne is a character in which George Eliot novel?
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Right. I've read Mill On The Floss but not for a very long time.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I've also read Middlemarch.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I don't think that he's in...
0:09:18 > 0:09:19..Mill On The Floss.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Nor do I think he's in Middlemarch.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24I think there is an army captain in...
0:09:25 > 0:09:27..Adam Bede but I'm not sure it's him.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I'm going to go for Adam Bede.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33That's really good quizzing. You're right.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Absolutely brilliant. This is a tight round. Back to you, Beth.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Which English landscape painter wasn't elected a full
0:09:40 > 0:09:44member of the Royal Academy until he was 52 years of age?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Well, the pictures I've seen,
0:09:51 > 0:09:55the paintings I've seen of Turner when he looked this rather young.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58So I assume he probably was put into the Royal Academy, well,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01admitted to the Royal Academy younger than 50...?
0:10:01 > 0:10:0352. 52.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05So Turner's out.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08So John Constable, Gainsborough...
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I'm going to go with Gainsborough, Thomas Gainsborough.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14It was John Constable.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Oh, dear. So, Rachael, a chance for you. Get this right
0:10:17 > 0:10:21and you can have one of the Eggheads to help you in the final.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Which of these artists who died in 1903 lived out his last days
0:10:26 > 0:10:30in a house he named Maison du Jouir,
0:10:30 > 0:10:31or the House of Pleasure?
0:10:40 > 0:10:41Right.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43I'm going to...
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I'm going to eliminate van Gogh,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51based on the fact that it doesn't seem likely
0:10:51 > 0:10:54that he would have named his...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56his house, House of Pleasure.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I think that,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00based on the fact that
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I think that Gauguin might have spent his last years
0:11:04 > 0:11:07somewhere tropical, like Tahiti, I'm going to...
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'm going to have a stab at Gauguin.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Gauguin is the right answer. Well done.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14And, therefore, you got three out of three.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17So we say congratulations, Rachael, you've won that head-to-head.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23You can't have Kevin but you can have anyone of the other four.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26So you've got Dave and Lisa and Pat and Barry.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31I think that, if I may, I will choose Pat, if that's OK.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Yeah, it's certainly OK.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Winner of ?1,000,000 on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39And British quiz champion, Pat?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I have been, yes. I've won the world title four times.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45That's nice. Wow. World title four times, Rachael.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46You've chosen well. Yes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Rachael has one Egghead to help her in the final.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Beth has one Egghead as well.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53And the next category for you is Science.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56So, Rachael, you won the previous round.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58You can decide if you want to go first or second.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00May I go first, please?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Here we go with your first question, Rachael. Good luck.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Which branch of chemistry deals with those elements and their
0:12:09 > 0:12:12compounds that do not contain carbon?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Right. I think that...
0:12:23 > 0:12:26..based on the fact that carbon is sort of the
0:12:26 > 0:12:30element that's crucial to life, I think it's inorganic.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Inorganic is the right answer.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Well done. Beth, over to you.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38By what name of the outermost layers of a flower bud on a plant called?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I think I might go first sepals, on the fact it kind of
0:12:47 > 0:12:48sounds like petals.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52The outermost layers of a flower bud on a plant are sepals.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53You're absolutely right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56So one each. Second question to you, Rachael.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01The order Coleoptera, consisting of beetles and weevils,
0:13:01 > 0:13:06makes up roughly what percentage of all insect species?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10It's spelt C-O-L-E-O-P-T`E-R-A and it's all one word.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Coleoptera.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Right, now, this is tricky,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20cos I know there are a lot of varieties of beetles
0:13:20 > 0:13:21and other Coleoptera.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I'm inclined to go for 80.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24I think it is quite a big percentage.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Actually, it's 40. Oh.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Right. OK.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Moving back to you, Beth, for your second question.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32See if you can take the lead.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37The Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale rates the severity of hurricanes on
0:13:37 > 0:13:40a scale of 1 to what number?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I think 21 is a bit too many for a scale of anything.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54If I remember watching and hearing the weather reports,
0:13:54 > 0:13:55I've heard of...
0:13:57 > 0:14:00..type five, type IV, type III
0:14:00 > 0:14:02storms and hurricanes and things like that.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04So I'm going to go with five.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Anyone know this? It is five.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Five is right. You got two out of two.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13So you need to get this one right to stay in, Rachael, in this round.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Which species of penguin is also called the jackass penguin,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19for its donkey-like bray?
0:14:27 > 0:14:28This is...
0:14:28 > 0:14:29probably one I should get.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I've heard of all three varieties and I...
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I like penguins. We see a lot of penguins in zoos but not African
0:14:36 > 0:14:37penguins, as far as I know.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'm trying to remember if any of the ones
0:14:39 > 0:14:42we've seen made a noise while we were there.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I'm inclined to go for the...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49..Galapagos penguin.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53I haven't heard this fact about them but I think perhaps I'll discount
0:14:53 > 0:14:56the African penguin. It's between Galapagos and Adelie.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59On second thoughts, I think maybe I would have heard about it if it was
0:14:59 > 0:15:02the Galapagos penguins, as I think I hear more about them.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05So I'll go for the Adelie penguin, see if that's right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Actually, it's not. It's the African...
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Oh. ..penguin.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12So no way back for you, Rachael, in that round.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16And we say congratulations, Beth, you've won the third head-to-head.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20So you can top up your supply of Eggheads now.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23You've got Dave, Lisa and Barry who've not been chosen.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Kevin and Pat have gone already.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I think I might go with Dave, if I may, please.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Who's getting chosen in almost every game, Dave.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35So, Beth, you've got Kevin and Dave in the final round.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Rachael, you've got Pat.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40This is going to be interesting. Let us play the final round.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44So, this is what we've been playing towards.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48It is time to find out who is one step closer to becoming an Egghead
0:15:48 > 0:15:51and who's going to be eliminated from our search.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Rachael, Beth, I will ask each of you three questions in turn.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57This time, the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58In this final round,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01you will have the backing of the Egghead set you've chosen
0:16:01 > 0:16:03over the course of the show.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05So, Rachael, you've got Pat, sitting there behind you,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07with all that knowledge. And, Beth,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10you'll have the double barrels of Kevin and Dave.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14You will be able to call on them to give you advice before you answer a question.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15You don't have to take their advice.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18You can't use them more than once.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19Is that all good? Yes.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21All right. Beth, as you won the last round,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24you get to choose whether you want to play first or second.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Let's go first.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31And here we go. Good luck, both of you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Beth, your question. Which of these is a 2016 action film starring Ben Affleck?
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Ooh.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47That isn't what I thought the question was going to be.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Isn't that funny?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Got your Eggheads, remember. Yes, I do. Right.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57This seems... I don't know the answer to this one,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01but I think this is something that Dave might be able to help me on.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03So I'd like to call on Dave, please.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05OK, Dave, you're being called in early, here.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'm very, very sorry, Beth.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09This one has passed me by.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15All I can look at is The Salesman is he might be involved in some kind of
0:17:15 > 0:17:16sales of...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Might be a smooth-talking salesman who...
0:17:21 > 0:17:25in terms of dodging dealings or something.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30So if I had a 10% hunch, Salesman sounds...
0:17:31 > 0:17:33..better than The Accountant and The Bank Manager, to me,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35as a title of a...
0:17:35 > 0:17:36a film.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37But I could be very wrong.
0:17:37 > 0:17:43OK, so he's giving you his wisdom, rather than his knowledge, there.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44You have to choose.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I was going through a similar sort of thought process to Dave,
0:17:47 > 0:17:53and I ended up on The Salesman for similar reasons to Dave did.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57So I'm going to go with The Salesman as well.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It's wrong. It's The Accountant.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04OK, Rachael, you could take the lead with this one.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Which term, meaning a friendly embrace between two males,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11was included in the Oxford English dictionary in 2016?
0:18:17 > 0:18:18I wish I didn't know this.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I'm not really a big fan of neologisms,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24but I'm pretty sure it's a bro-hug.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25What would you have said, Pat, out of interest?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I'd have, probably... I wouldn't know, but
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I'd have had a punt on bro-hug.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Yeah, cos we've got bro-romance as well, haven't we?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Bro-hug is right.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36So, Beth, you've fallen behind.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37You need to catch up.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Who composed the music Funeral March Of A Marionette,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45which featured on the American TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55And you still, obviously, have Kevin waiting in the wings.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56I think I might have to call on Kevin,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59though I'm aware of all three of these composers.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02And, in fact, Camille Saint-Saens was going to be one of my
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Mastermind subjects...
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Oh, really? But I didn't have to revise him.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Kevin, can you help me out here?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Before the choices came up, Beth, believe it or not,
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I thought it either Gounod or Saint-Saens.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Which obviously helps a little bit.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I don't think it's Debussy.
0:19:19 > 0:19:25My instinct is saying Gounod, but it's not anything like 100%.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28If I had to answer it myself, Beth, I would go for Gounod,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30but I'm not at all sure.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Well, we know an inkling from Kevin is a precious thing,
0:19:33 > 0:19:34but it's up to you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Well, an inkling from Kevin is more than an inkling from me,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40so I will go with Gounod, Charles Gounod.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42The answer is Charles Gounod.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Phew! OK.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46This is a very interesting situation.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52Beth has used both of her Eggheads to get her one point and to get your
0:19:52 > 0:19:54one point, you haven't used one yet, Rachael.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56So you have the advantage here.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Your second question. What type of equipment is an oklava?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Used in Turkish cookery, it's O-K-L-A-V-A, all one word.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I'm trying to think if I...
0:20:12 > 0:20:13I have, I've had...
0:20:14 > 0:20:15..Turkish food.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16I'm just trying to work out...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I mean, it could be a spice grinder, the spice they use.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21But I think I am going to have to...
0:20:23 > 0:20:26..call on Pat, if I may, cos I'm not terribly good on...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I'm not much of a cook myself.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Pat, an oklava - have you come across this?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I have not. I am worried.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36A rolling pin doesn't sound very promising.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38A rolling pin's a very straightforward item.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Would you have a... I suppose you could have a special name for it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43A spice grinder - I mean you can have, like,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46a pepper mill or you can have a mortar and pestle.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49If I had to answer this question, and I had to take a guess,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I think I'd guess griddle, but I'd be very nervous.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I wouldn't have any confidence at all.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57No, it does sound like good reasoning, though. I just...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I mean, there is grilling involved in Turkish cookery.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Yeah, I'll go with Pat.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'll go for griddle. I really don't know.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05So... OK.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Griddle we've gone for, on the basis of a sketchy sort of guess from Pat.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12An oklava is a kind of rolling pin.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Oh, sorry. Sorry, Rachael.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16No, it's fine. It happens.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21OK. So, you're still one point each and every Egghead has now been used.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Your question, Beth, to take the lead.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29Aldo Rossi, born in Milan in 1931, was best known as a what?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35You've used your Eggheads.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Now, my first thought was a racing driver, but that's not an option.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42For no other reason than I like pretty buildings,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I'm going to go for architect.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Architect is your answer.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I wonder if you would have known this, Kevin, Dave?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Architect. Architect is right.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52SHE EXHALES
0:21:52 > 0:21:53OK.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Which means Beth has taken the lead in this very tense final round.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01And, Rachael, you have to get this one right...
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Yes. ..to go to Sudden Death.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Here's your question. In 2012,
0:22:05 > 0:22:10which city was chosen as England's first UNESCO city of literature?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Now, I feel like I've heard this fact quite recently.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23And I think the reason it stuck in my head is because I have a
0:22:23 > 0:22:26great fondness for this particular city.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31But I'm pretty sure that I have heard that Norwich has recently been
0:22:31 > 0:22:33named the UNESCO...
0:22:33 > 0:22:35City of literature. Let me just have a second...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Yeah, yeah. Just in case I... That's fine.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'm going to go for Norwich.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41The answer is Norwich.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Well done. So, you've held Beth, the 2-2,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47even though she had more Eggheads.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50You're level after the multiple-choice questions.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53It gets a bit harder now, and we go to Sudden Death.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I don't give the alternative answers.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Beth, we start with you.
0:22:57 > 0:23:03In 2016, Royal mail unveiled a series of stamps celebrating 50 years of which rock group?
0:23:05 > 0:23:11Now, this is very funny because I actually remember my father reading
0:23:11 > 0:23:13the news article out to my mother, from the paper, the other day,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15or very recently.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18And I'm pretty sure the answer's Pink Floyd.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20It is Pink Floyd. Well done.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21What a band, as well.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24The next question is to Rachael.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26You need to get this right. Yeah.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27All the Eggheads have been used up.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32The drum-and-bass star Goldie played a character called Mr Bullion or
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Bull, in which James Bond film?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I'm not very good on James Bond at all.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I mean, I presume it's got to be...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I would have thought it would have to be one from the noughties, maybe,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49or the '90s.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55I'm going to have a bit of a stab in the dark, I'm afraid.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57I'm going to try...
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Try Casino Royale. Casino Royale is your answer.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Is this your speciality, Beth?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09I do like Bond films, yes. And do you know which one this is?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I think it's The World Is Not Enough.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13It is The World Is Not Enough.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'm so sorry, Rachael.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18That's fine. The final has come to an end,
0:24:18 > 0:24:19and Beth is ahead on Sudden Death.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22We say congratulations, Beth, you have won.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Commiserations, Rachael.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31What a quizzer. What a quizzer you are.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Thank you so much for playing.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Thank you. Congratulations, Beth.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Thank you very much. That was a tough old battle, wasn't it?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39It was. Rachael gave me a very hard run.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Well, you've proved that winning comes as naturally to you as it does
0:24:42 > 0:24:46to our Eggheads, and you are one step closer to joining our quiz Goliaths.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49But your work for today is not quite done.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51We give you three points for each round you've won today,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54so that's six points for the two Eggheads,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56and you're now going to get the chance to add to those points by answering
0:24:56 > 0:24:59quickfire questions for two minutes.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02We'll give you one point for each correct answer,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06and we'll see where your final score puts you on our all-important leaderboard.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10The top four places at the end of the heats will make it
0:25:10 > 0:25:11through to the semifinals.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Just have a look at the leaderboard, then, as it currently stands.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15The bit in green is the crucial bit.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Can you get into the top four?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Obviously, you need to be 20 points or higher to get in there.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24So, all to play for.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Yeah. You ready?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27No.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01because we only have two more names to arrive on that leaderboard.
