0:00:06 > 0:00:10These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:10 > 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 > 0:00:17The question is -
0:00:17 > 0:00:19do you have the brains to join them?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to Make Me An Egghead.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28We've launched a nationwide search
0:00:28 > 0:00:30to find the greatest quiz brains in Britain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34By the end of the series, two people will emerge as champions
0:00:34 > 0:00:37and win 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 > 0:00:43There's your build-up.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Now let's meet the contestants,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47both hoping they've got what it takes to become an Egghead.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Jo Neill, I'm a teacher from Liverpool.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Hello, I'm Dr Jane McCartney.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I'm a chartered psychologist from London.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Welcome, Jo and Jane.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59So, Jo, you've been on The Chase? Yes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Tell us about that. Erm, I went on...
0:01:01 > 0:01:05I had Paul Sinha as my Chaser.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Er, I only scored seven in my cash builder but I went for the
0:01:08 > 0:01:11big money that they offered me, which was ?47,000. And?
0:01:11 > 0:01:14I won. I won with about three steps.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15How brilliant. Just lovely.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18How fantastic. Jane, what about your quizzing? What do you like to do?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22I play for a local quiz, erm, at our local leisure centre,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25actually, and I do quite a lot of online quizzes as well.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Terrific. And you are "Dr Jane" on your tag there, so, psychologist,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31meaning you treat individual patients or...?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34That's right, yep, yeah, I treat individuals, sometimes groups,
0:01:34 > 0:01:35but mostly individuals.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And we've got five tortured souls here, haven't we,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40as you can see, in a lovely way.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Quizzers are built differently, aren't they?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I... I've been assessing them over the years.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45JEREMY LAUGHS
0:01:45 > 0:01:49And I know you both love music. Jo, tell us about your love of music.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I play saxophone and clarinet and recorder.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I used to play in a concert band.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Erm, I don't play music that much now but I join in with
0:01:56 > 0:01:59a choir at the church when it's being run,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02which is every year, round about Christmas time.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And, Jane, you listen or you play or both?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Sadly I don't play, but no, I like watching live bands, erm,
0:02:09 > 0:02:10I've been to see quite a few.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I live quite near the O2, so we go and see...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Not quite who's ever on there,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18but we go and see, you know... people there, and, er, yeah,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Kate Bush I think was a real highlight a couple of years ago.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22All right, well, good luck to you both.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Contestants, this is where you need to prove
0:02:24 > 0:02:25that you could be an Egghead.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Just like on Eggheads, both of you will compete
0:02:27 > 0:02:29over a series of different rounds,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32where your knowledge will be tested on the regular Eggheads categories.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36So the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of Arts Books.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37I'm going to ask each of you three
0:02:37 > 0:02:40multiple choice questions on Arts Books in turn.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46The prize for winning a round on Make Me An Egghead is that
0:02:46 > 0:02:47you gain one of them.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So you can ask one of them to help you in the final,
0:02:50 > 0:02:51and they cannot refuse.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Before the show, we tossed a coin.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55As a result of that, Jo, you can decide -
0:02:55 > 0:02:56do you want to go first or second?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I'd like to go first, please.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03And here is your first question. Good luck, both.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Which of these writers died in 1928?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Well, Wilkie Collins, he's a Victorian,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'm sure he died before 1928.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Erm, George Orwell, I know for a fact died in 1949,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22because it was after Nineteen Eighty-Four had been published,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24and that was the year before.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27And I actually happen to be reading the biography of this man,
0:03:27 > 0:03:28it's Thomas Hardy.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Very good. It is Thomas Hardy.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34It's always amazing to me that Thomas Hardy, who we think of as
0:03:34 > 0:03:37being a sort of 1800s guy, wrote a poem on the sinking of the Titanic.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I can never... He was very long-lived. Yeah, was he?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42He stopped writing about 1900, for the novels, didn't he,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and then kept on writing poetry. Did he? Yeah. Yeah.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46He wrote about the world he was born into,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48rather than the world he lived in.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Right, and what age was he when he died?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53He was in his late 80s. Late 80s.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55OK, so, Thomas Hardy's right. Jane...
0:03:55 > 0:03:59What is the first name of Roger Hargreaves' son,
0:03:59 > 0:04:03who took over the Mr Men business when Roger died in 1988?
0:04:07 > 0:04:13Now, I've read an enormous amount of Mr Men and Little Miss books,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17and I have a suspicion...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I'm not entirely sure, but I think it is...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24..I kind of want to go one way, but I want to go the other -
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I will say Adam.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Adam is right. Well done.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Jo, in the title of a Claude Monet painting,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35usually exhibited in the National Gallery,
0:04:35 > 0:04:39who are at La Grenouillere?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45At La Grenouillere.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I can spell that for you if you want.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49No.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I don't think it's dancers, cos it's Claude Monet.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I don't think he was into painting dancers, that was more Degas.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Erm, painters is a bit...
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I think it's bathers.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I'm going to go for bathers, please.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Yes, it is bathers, well done.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Second question to you, Dr Jane.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Tiffany Aching is a character created by which writer?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Aching is spelled as you'd imagine. A-C-H-I-N-G.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Oh, gosh. Erm...
0:05:22 > 0:05:23It's... Tiffany...
0:05:25 > 0:05:28That almost sounds a bit too early for Wodehouse.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I can't remember it in any of the...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33..JK Rowling books, so I'll go...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I haven't read any of the Terry Pratchett,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38but I will go for Terry Pratchett.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Yeah, now I was thinking, could it be JK Rowling but not Harry Potter?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44She's done The Casual Vacancy, and...
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I had an idea it was one of the characters in The Casual Vacancy.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yeah. Can't be sure.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Anyway, you're right. Terry Pratchett.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Bless him. Third question to you, Jo.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Which of these poets studied to become a surgeon,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02and, in 1816, became a licensed apothecary?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Byron, he's famous for going off, fighting in the wars.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Coleridge...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I can't think that he would become a surgeon.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17He was off in the Lake District with Wordsworth
0:06:17 > 0:06:19most of the time, wasn't he?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Keats... Keats died dead young.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Do you know, I'm going to go Coleridge. Coleridge.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30So studied to become a surgeon and then became
0:06:30 > 0:06:34a licensed apothecary, a mixer of medicines. Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35It's Keats. Keats.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38So, it's all true, he became a surgeon and died young.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41He did die young, yeah. I mean, he was only in his mid-20s
0:06:41 > 0:06:43when he died, but he did, erm, he did study to become...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46He didn't come from a very well-off background,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50and he studied and apprenticed to become an apothecary. OK.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Keats it is. Gives Jane a chance to take the round.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56In 2007, Miguel Falomir,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59the curator of the Prado Museum in Madrid,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01revealed he'd discovered that
0:07:01 > 0:07:04"Comin" was the family name of which painter?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09"Comin" is C-O-M-I-N.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Erm...
0:07:12 > 0:07:17This is going to be a complete stab in the dark,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and I will say...
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Comin, probably not Canaletto or...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I'll go for Raphael.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Based on the spelling.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I see. Just shorter word or...?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Yeah, without the vowel at the end.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I see, I see. That's my logic on that.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39OK, well, I'm not sure...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Presumably, Canaletto and Tintoretto were not their names,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44they were sort of nicknames, were they? And Raphael...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47But Raphael was not his name either, was it? Sanzio, wasn't it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Yeah, Sanzio. Sanzio, ah, so which one is this?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55The "I-N" ending to the name implies it's probably somebody Venetian,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58because that sort of name ending is from that region.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02So, Canaletto or Tintoretto, erm...
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Haven't come across this, but I think the one possibly
0:08:05 > 0:08:09with the slightly murkier name background is Canaletto.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11But not sure. One of those two, I would think.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Well, it's not Raphael.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It is Tintoretto. Ah, Tintoretto.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18All right, so, that's a little let-off for you there, Jo.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22After three questions the scores are level, and we go to Sudden Death.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It gets a bit harder, I don't give you alternative answers.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Jo, your question.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Which Oscar Wilde play features the line,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars?"
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Running through Oscar Wilde plays...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Lady Windermere's Fan...
0:08:38 > 0:08:40The one about the husband...
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Erm...
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I'm going to go for my favourite one.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46The Importance Of Being Earnest.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48No, it's the first one you mentioned, actually.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's Lady Windermere's Fan. Good grief.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54He wrote some just wonderful plays.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57OK, Jane, for what does the letter J stand
0:08:57 > 0:09:01in the name of the English landscape painter JMW Turner?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Get this right, you've won the round. OK...
0:09:05 > 0:09:10There was the recent film with Timothy Spall being J...
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Erm...
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I think it is, I hope it is,
0:09:17 > 0:09:18I pray it is James.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It's Joseph. (Joseph! Oh...)
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Back to you, Jo.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Miss Betsy Trotwood is the great aunt
0:09:27 > 0:09:30of which Charles Dickens title character?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Erm, I like this one because it's connected to Catcher In The Rye,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37with, like, you want to know where I come from and all that...
0:09:37 > 0:09:39David Copperfield sort of stuff.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41And your answer is...? David Copperfield.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44..is the correct answer. David Copperfield.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45So, pressure on you now, Jane.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48You need to get this right to stay in the round.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I Hear America Singing is a work by
0:09:50 > 0:09:53which American poet, born in 1819?
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Walt Whitman.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Walt Whitman is correct.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Sudden Death we're on.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Jo, Michael Tolliver is a recurring character in a series of books
0:10:03 > 0:10:07first published in the 1970s and 1980s by which US author?
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I don't know, so I'm going to say John Updike.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16No, it's the Tales Of The City series - Armistead Maupin.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19OK, for the round, Jane.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Hotel Honolulu, Blinding Light, and Kowloon Tong are works by
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Hotel Honolulu, Blinding Light, and Kowloon Tong are works by
0:10:25 > 0:10:30which US novelist and travel writer, born in 1941?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I am not entirely confident.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I will go for Paul Theroux.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41And you've gone ahead on Sudden Death - Paul Theroux it is.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Well done, Jane, you've won the first head-to-head.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That was touch-and-go for you both. Nip and tuck.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51OK, so, you can choose an Egghead, Jane.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55OK, I would like Chris, please.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Very good, so, Dr Jane has chosen Chris,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and that sounds like you're going to get a run out, Chris.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Oh, yeah, makes a nice change, doesn't it?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05So Jane now has an Egghead, Jo doesn't have one yet.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Let's see if that changes. The next category is Geography.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Dr Jane, as the winner of the previous round,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11you can choose if you go first or second.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Erm, I'll stick with second, please.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18So, Jo, we start with you.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21The town of Glossop is in which English county?
0:11:25 > 0:11:30I think it actually lies in the, uh, Lord Derby's estate,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34and apart from the bit that he has around Merseyside and Knowsley,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36the rest of it's in Derbyshire.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Brilliant. Derbyshire's right.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Jane, Bondi Beach is part of which Australian city?
0:11:46 > 0:11:52Erm, I am pretty sure it is, erm, not Melbourne, not Perth,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54but Sydney.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Sydney is correct.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Jo, the airport officially called
0:11:57 > 0:12:02Lester B Pearson International Airport serves which Canadian city?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I'm guessing not Montreal, because that's in Quebec,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10and I'm sure they'd name their airports
0:12:10 > 0:12:12after French-sounding names.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I'm going to say Vancouver, please. Pure guess.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Any Eggheads know? Flown through it? Toronto. Toronto.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Yeah, Toronto it is. So, Jane, your chance to go ahead.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Which of these countries does not have a coastline?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Hmm, Afghanistan jumps up as an obvious one, but I just need
0:12:37 > 0:12:42to kind of have a quick mental flick through a map in my head.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44OK, erm, I'm pretty sure...
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Yeah, I'll stick with my first thoughts of Afghanistan.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Afghanistan. Lisa, your geography? I think it's Afghanistan.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Yeah, Afghanistan is right. Well done.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54OK, third question to you, Jo.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55You need to get this right.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Which of these shares a border with the Republic of Macedonia?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I think Croatia's further north, in what used to be Yugoslavia.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I'm thinking where Romania is...
0:13:11 > 0:13:14I'm going to go for Bulgaria.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Yeah, these are questions where you need to sort of almost see
0:13:18 > 0:13:21a map in your mind's eye. Try to make it up.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Bulgaria is correct.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29So, you've both got two, and, Jane, you can win it with this answer.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32The southernmost tip of the African continent
0:13:32 > 0:13:34is not the Cape of Good Hope, but which other cape?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42OK, erm...
0:13:44 > 0:13:46This is going to be a complete guess.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50I've not looked at...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52at any of them before,
0:13:52 > 0:13:57so I will go with my first instinct, which is to say Cape Juby.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I'm afraid it's Cape Agulhas.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03You've had three questions each, the scores are level,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06we go to Sudden Death again.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09So, Jo, your first question. Not multiple choice now.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Kensington Gardens adjoin which London park?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18I think Kensington Gardens adjoins Hyde Park.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Yes, you're absolutely right.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22And people get them confused cos there's almost
0:14:22 > 0:14:24two thirds Hyde Park, one third Kensington Gardens.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26It all looks like Hyde Park from the air.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You're right, Hyde Park.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Jane, this to stay in the round.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Tampa Bay is a feature of the coastline of which American state?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I think that is Florida.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It is Florida, well done.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Sudden Death we're on. Back to you, Jo.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45Which Scottish island is referred to as "Scotland in miniature"
0:14:45 > 0:14:49because the northern half is mountainous like the Highlands,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52while the lush farmland of the southern part
0:14:52 > 0:14:54resembles the Lowlands?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I don't know that many Scottish islands,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I'm going to have to say Skye.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Any Eggs? Arran. Isle of Arran.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Arran, the Isle of Arran is the answer.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05So, Jane, you have a chance to take this second round.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Lausanne in Switzerland lies on the shore of which lake?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Erm, I think it's the obvious one, so I will say Lake Geneva.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18The correct answer is Lake Geneva.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22So, on Sudden Death, we say congratulations, Dr Jane,
0:15:22 > 0:15:23you've won that head-to-head.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Again, a tight round, and you've got Chris already.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Who else would you like in the final?
0:15:30 > 0:15:34I think, to complement Chris's top, it's got to be Dave. Yes.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36What, just the top, the colours...?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You're going on matching colours here? Yeah, absolutely.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41OK, we haven't had that as a rationale before.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43That's good, though. Port and starboard, yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Yeah, you'll look good in there together.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48As it stands, Dr Jane therefore has two Eggheads, Chris and Dave,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51helping her in the final. Jo, you've got to win one now.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Our third category is Music,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54and, Jane, as the winner of the last head-to-head,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I will stick to going second, please.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04OK, Jo, good luck in this round. Try and get yourself an Egghead.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09Here we go. Who has achieved the most number-one singles
0:16:09 > 0:16:11on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Mm...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I know the Beatles got quite a few.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I know Michael Jackson's got quite a few.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I come from Liverpool,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'm going to stick with the local boys - the Beatles.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29The Beatles is quite right.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Jane, which female artist released the album Honeymoon
0:16:32 > 0:16:33in September 2015?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Oh...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42This is a little bit too contemporary for me.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47So, I will have a guess at...
0:16:47 > 0:16:50er, Lana Del Rey.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Lana Del Rey is the right answer, well done.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59So, Jo, like his mother and his first wife, Alexander Scriabin
0:16:59 > 0:17:03was a concert performer on which musical instrument?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Would help if I knew who his mother and his wife were.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I'm going to go straight down the middle, I'm going to go cello.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14There's no reason behind it apart from...
0:17:14 > 0:17:17OK, let's just get a bit of background here on Scriabin.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Who was the mother and the wife?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I don't think either of them were anything like as well known as him.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Oh, so we're not looking for very famous... No, no, no.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29..people? No, no, he was a pianist. Right, piano is the answer.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32So you're equal on one point, which is a slight advantage to you,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Jane, cos you've got a spare question here.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Which British composer moved to Orkney in 1971?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48OK, I don't think it was Britten, because he was Suffolk way.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I think... Possibly going by...
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Trying to remember the type of music,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I will go with John Tavener.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00It's a rare wrong answer from you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02It's Peter Maxwell Davies. Ohh...
0:18:02 > 0:18:06So, Jo, this is the moment to get this question right and put
0:18:06 > 0:18:08some pressure on. Here we go.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12What is the birth name of the UK music producer
0:18:12 > 0:18:17who has used the aliases Rebel MC and Congo Natty?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27You can tell by my face how much I listen to this sort of music.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Not at all. Erm, I'm going to follow the same reasoning, Trevor Romeo.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I have no idea. I can't even say anything about anybody else.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I can't say why I'm picking him, I'll just go Trev.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41Is it the same reasoning? Just down the middle? Romeo's a nice name.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'm afraid you've got it wrong, it's Michael West.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46So, Jane, you have a chance here.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49The numbering system TWV was developed
0:18:49 > 0:18:52to catalogue the works of which prolific composer?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59TWV, I'm trying to put the...
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Well, the W of Wagner, obviously...
0:19:03 > 0:19:08V, Vivaldi, T... All right, OK, erm...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It starts with a T, I'll go for Telemann.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I'm not confident, but I'll go for Telemann.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15OK, it's your third question.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17If you get this one right, you've taken the round.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Anyone tell us any details on this, Eggs?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Well, the "WV" bit is used for a number of composers.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25It's just the German for "catalogue of works,"
0:19:25 > 0:19:27which is "Werke-Verzeichnis."
0:19:27 > 0:19:30So, in this instance, it would be Telemann.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32It's the composer's name comes first.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Georg Philipp Telemann is the answer. Well done, Jane.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Three rounds out of three. You've won the final head-to-head.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43You can choose another Egghead.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44This is looking good for you,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47bearing in mind you've got to get up to the top of our leaderboard.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50So, choose another Egghead. You've got Chris, you've got Dave.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Is it going to be on shirts now, or... Erm... ..brains?
0:19:53 > 0:19:57It's a combination of both. I'm going to go for Lisa, please.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58OK, so, Dr Jane,
0:19:58 > 0:20:02you now have got Chris and Dave and Lisa in the final round.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05And, Jo, you don't have any Eggheads but it may not make a difference,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07you could still win the final.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Let us play that final round.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So, this is what we have been playing towards.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It is time to find out who's one step closer to becoming an Egghead,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18and who is going to be eliminated from our search.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Jo and Dr Jane, I'm going to ask each of you three questions in turn.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25This time the questions are all general knowledge.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27In this final round, you will have the backing of
0:20:27 > 0:20:30the Eggheads you've won over the course of the show,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33so, Dr Jane, there you have, let's see, Dave and Chris,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36and there in the middle we have Lisa as well, so you've got three.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40And, Jo, you'll be going it alone, I'm sorry to say.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Now, you can call on them only once, that's the first thing to say.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46If you want, you can use all three of them on one question,
0:20:46 > 0:20:51that's fine. But once you've used them, that's it, so use them wisely.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Dr Jane, as you won the last round,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56you get to choose whether you now go first or second.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I'll stick with second, please.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Final round, and here we are, Jo, with your first question.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Which country held a referendum in March 2016
0:21:08 > 0:21:10to decide on the design of their flag?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I'm pleased to say I do know this one,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19and I think they stuck with the one they have already.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It was New Zealand.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23It was indeed New Zealand, well done.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Jane, the character known as "Hello Kitty" originated in which country?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I'm very pleased to say,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37cos my daughter really liked Hello Kitty when she was younger,
0:21:37 > 0:21:42so we had quite a lot of the stuff, and I do believe it is Japan.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Japan is correct.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Jo, in which film
0:21:46 > 0:21:49does Humphrey Bogart play the role of Fred C Dobbs?
0:21:56 > 0:21:57I'm not a big Bogart fan,
0:21:57 > 0:22:02so this one is going to be slightly a bit of a guess. I'm going to go...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'm going to go for The African Queen,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07cos that was what popped up first.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10OK, this is ideally one where you'd... I want to get it right!
0:22:10 > 0:22:13..call back to an Egghead, but they're not there.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Let's see if they know. Do you know, Eggs?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Well, I'd go for The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre myself.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20The African Queen was Charlie Allnutt.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Oh... Yeah, he's right.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre is the right answer.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28So, Jane's chance to take the lead,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31and you still have those three Eggheads all poised.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34William Harrison Ainsworth's novel Rookwood
0:22:34 > 0:22:38accounts an adventure of which historical character, Jane?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Erm...
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I'm going to ask my Eggheads.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51I will ask Dave first, please.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53OK, Dave, I'll give you the question again. Mm-hm.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58William Harrison Ainsworth's novel Rookwood accounts an adventure
0:22:58 > 0:23:00of which historical character?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Right, I'm not entirely sure, erm, Jane,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08but my gut instinct would be Dick Turpin.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Erm, with Dick Turpin, in terms of an historical novel,
0:23:12 > 0:23:13when you look at the others,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16with Walter Raleigh and Fletcher Christian,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18they are feasible options,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21but I would have thought that the adventures of Dick Turpin
0:23:21 > 0:23:27and his particular, erm, situations that he would have got himself into
0:23:27 > 0:23:30would have made, er, given more purchase for a novel.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32OK, so he doesn't know,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36but he's giving you some good groundwork there. Mm-hm.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39You can go with any one of the three you want in terms of the answers.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42You can go with Dave's Dick Turpin, if you want,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44or you could ask another Egghead. It's up to you.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48OK, I would like a second opinion from Chris, please. OK, Chris?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Yeah, it is Dick Turpin, Jane.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54OK, then, I will give the answer as Dick Turpin.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57And Dick Turpin is the right answer.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00OK, well done, Eggs, but two of them gone there on that question.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Just Lisa left. So you have to get this right, Jo. Mm.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Vermont shares borders with Quebec, New York, New Hampshire,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11and which other US state?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18I think it's Stephen King's state. I think it's Maine.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Maine is your answer. If you've got this wrong,
0:24:21 > 0:24:22the contest is over. Urgh!
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Do you know, Eggs? I think Massachusetts.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I think it's Connecticut. I'd go Connecticut.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28The answer is Massachusetts.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Ohhh, Jane, well done. Thank you very much.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Jo, sorry, you have lost there, and we say congratulations,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Dr Jane, you've won!
0:24:40 > 0:24:44But still some good quizzing along the way, Jo, no question.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48And it's not having the advice, it's difficult... It is difficult, yes.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49..in the final round.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52And I guess it took two of them to get Dick Turpin there,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56but you did it. Feeling good? Absolutely. Thrilled.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Well done, Dr Jane, you've proved that winning
0:24:58 > 0:25:01comes as naturally to you as it does to our Eggheads.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04You are one step closer to joining our quiz Goliaths,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06but your work for today isn't quite done.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09We're going to give you three points for each round you've won -
0:25:09 > 0:25:11that's very, very handy, those nine points -
0:25:11 > 0:25:13and you'll now get the chance to add to those points
0:25:13 > 0:25:16by answering quickfire questions for two minutes.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18We'll give you one point for each correct answer,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22and then we'll see where your final score puts you on our leaderboard.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24The top four places at the end of the heats
0:25:24 > 0:25:26will make it through to the semifinals.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27If you just have a look,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30cos you're almost the last name to join the board here,
0:25:30 > 0:25:31you can see the challenge.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35You've basically got to get above 20 points to get in the green area.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38If you end up outside the green, then you won't be in the semifinal.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42So, all to play for. Jane, are you ready? I am.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46OK. Good luck. Your time starts now.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Which country of northern Europe has a flag that consists of
0:25:49 > 0:25:51an off-centre blue cross on a white background?
