0:00:06 > 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 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:15 > 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 > 0:00:29We have launched a nationwide search
0:00:29 > 0:00:32to find the greatest quiz brains in Britain.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35By the end of the series, two people will emerge as champions
0:00:35 > 0:00:38and win the ultimate prize for quizzing enthusiasts -
0:00:38 > 0:00:42a place with the most fearsome quizzers in history.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Yes, the Eggheads.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's meet today's contestants,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48both hoping they've got what it takes to become an Egghead.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49I'm Steph O'Donoghue.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53I'm a charity chief executive and I'm from Suffolk.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54I'm Julia Hobbs.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56I'm a question writer from Berkshire.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Steph and Julia, welcome. Great to see you.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Now you have met on something called The People's Quiz.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We have, yes. Tell us about that.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07It was 2007, it was a nationwide quiz that was run.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11It was kind of like the X Factor of quizzing. Yes.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13And Steph and I both made it through to the final.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15So you both got to the final?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Yes, we did, yes, and I was lucky enough to win. OK.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And you won something like a quarter of a million quid or something?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25It was very strange. It was ?200,700.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27As in 2007. As in 2007. Yes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29And Julia, I notice you are a question writer,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32so you are setting quizzes all the time. Yes, yeah.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Does that help? Cos I never know whether asking the questions
0:01:35 > 0:01:37means you know stuff. It does help, yeah.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I'm looking at questions all day long.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43If I'm not writing them, I'm sort of looking at other people's questions
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and doing little tweaks and edits.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49So yeah, it's amazing how much stuff goes in while you're just doing that
0:01:49 > 0:01:50as a day-to-day job, really.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And I love doing it. Right, well, good luck, both of you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Contestants, this is where you need to prove that
0:01:55 > 0:01:57you could be an Egghead. Just like on Eggheads,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00both of you will compete over a series of different rounds
0:02:00 > 0:02:03where your knowledge will be tested on the regular Eggheads categories.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07So the first head-to-head battle is on the subject of science.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I'm going to ask each of you three multiple-choice questions
0:02:10 > 0:02:11on science in turn.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins the round.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17The prize for winning a round on Make Me An Egghead
0:02:17 > 0:02:20is that you gain one of these Eggs over here, so they will help you,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23essentially, in the final round when you need them.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Before the show, we tossed a coin and, as a result of that,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Julia, you can decide whether you go first or second now.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I would like to go first, please.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35So good luck, Julia.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38What name is given to the discolouration of coral reefs
0:02:38 > 0:02:42from exposure to warmer than average waters?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Is it...
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Wow.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50This is not a term I'm familiar with.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54It could feasibly be any one of those options.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Fading and bleaching seem fairly obvious.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03But I don't really have anything to pin it on.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06So I'm going to steer away from the ones I think might be a bit
0:03:06 > 0:03:09more obvious, and I'm actually going to go for dimming, I think.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Eggs, you know this?
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Bleaching. Bleaching.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Bleaching is the answer.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Your question, Steph.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Which planet in our solar system experiences a year almost
0:03:20 > 0:03:25twice as long as Earth's, at approximately 687 days?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I'm now trying to think of the film The Martian.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33I will go...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I will go with Mars.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Mars is the right answer.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Well done.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Julia, which astronomical phenomenon is theoretically surrounded
0:03:45 > 0:03:49by the structure of gas and dust called a torus?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I don't think it's a solar eclipse...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01..cos I'm aware of a corona being connected to a solar eclipse.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I've not heard torus in connection with that at all.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09So it's a toss-up between comet and black hole.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15And with torus being a kind of a doughnut shape,
0:04:15 > 0:04:20I think it could feasibly go round the outside of either of those.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm going to say comet.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Now let me check with Barry, cos Barry will know.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27You're right about a torus being a doughnut, but it's
0:04:27 > 0:04:30the accretion of material that spins round the black hole
0:04:30 > 0:04:32that gives the doughnut shape.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Black hole is the answer.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So if you get this one right, Steph, you've taken the round.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Native to the US and Mexico,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43the plant Yucca aloifolia is also known by what name?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51OK. That threw me, because as soon as I heard the aloensis,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53I started thinking aloe,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56but then that's Aloe barbadensis or something like that.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59So I'm now looking and thinking which of those rings a bell
0:04:59 > 0:05:01as being a plant name?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04For some reason, I'm being drawn towards Spanish bayonet.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08So I will say Spanish bayonet as my answer.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Spanish bayonet is the right answer. Oh, goodness.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14So after two questions, you are uncatchable, Steph,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17and we say well done. You've won the first head-to-head.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22So I can't guarantee other rounds are going to be as straightforward.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Which Egghead would you like to help you in the final?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26You can have any one.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It's a very tough decision, because they're all incredibly good,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31but I will plump for Kevin, please.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34OK, so as it stands, Steph has one Egghead
0:05:34 > 0:05:35to help her in the final, Kevin.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Julia has none so far.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40The next category is Film and TV, and Steph, cos you won the last one,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I would like to go first, please.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48And here we go.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52In which of these television series did Derek Jacobi play a monk?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Thankfully, after the last one, this is one that I know.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04It's based on the series of books by Ellis Peters and it's Cadfael.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Cadfael is right.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10OK, your question, Julia.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14In which 2014 children's film do Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins
0:06:14 > 0:06:16play Mr and Mrs Brown?
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Is it...
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Happily, I do know this one.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I don't actually watch children's movies, but Paddington was out,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I think they were probably all out in 2014
0:06:29 > 0:06:32but Paddington Bear lives with Mr and Mrs Brown,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35so Paddington is my answer.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Paddington is quite right. Well done.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Back to you, Steph. In which part of the United Kingdom
0:06:39 > 0:06:43is the television crime drama series Hinterland set?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Right. Hinterland. Hinterland.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I have to confess, not one I've heard of.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I think, because The Fall is set in Northern Ireland,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I don't recall another series being set there,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05so I think I'll exclude Northern Ireland.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Wales or Scotland?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I will have a stab in the dark
0:07:11 > 0:07:13and say Scotland.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Do you know this one, Julia?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I wouldn't have thought it was Scotland.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I think it might be Wales.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It is Wales. Yeah.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Back to you, Julia. So now you can take advantage here,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Julia, and you must.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Which actor played Richard Nixon in the acclaimed 2013 film The Butler?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Oh, goodness me.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Another film I haven't seen.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I don't think it was Alan Rickman.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47My instinct is telling me it was Liev Schreiber.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I can't imagine John Cusack playing Richard Nixon.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I'm going to say Liev Schreiber...
0:07:55 > 0:07:56with very little confidence!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Do you know, Steph? I thought it was John Cusack.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00It is John Cusack. Oh!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03OK, so, one each.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05And your third question, Steph.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Prior to Cilla Black taking over as host,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11who presented the pilot episode of the show
0:08:11 > 0:08:14that became the long-running TV series Blind Date?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Was it...
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Good grief. Well, Cilla Black is so, just
0:08:23 > 0:08:26connected in everybody's consciousness with it,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I wasn't even aware there had been someone else in the pilot.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32My temptation is maybe to say Dustin Gee,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34because maybe the fact that he died
0:08:34 > 0:08:37would be the reason that he didn't...carry on
0:08:37 > 0:08:38and do the series.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Although equally it could have been one of the other two
0:08:41 > 0:08:43and they just...weren't right.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Russ Abbot's the biggest name there, but can I imagine him doing it?
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Duncan Norvelle would have been a very...unique host.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I am going to plump for Dustin Gee on the very flimsy basis that
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I think his untimely death might have been why he didn't carry on.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01So Dustin Gee.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03No, it's Duncan Norvelle. Oh...
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Did you know? No. That's a great fact.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11OK. So, Julia, you've got a chance to take the round here.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13What is the title of the sitcom,
0:09:13 > 0:09:17a spoof of US police procedurals,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19starring Rashida Jones,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22that was first broadcast in 2016?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Is it...
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I've actually watched every single one of them.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32It's very funny and she's great in it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It's Angie Tribeca.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Angie Tribeca is quite right. We say congratulations, Julia.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40You've won the head-to-head.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45So, Steph has got Kevin but the other four,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Pat and Barry and David and Judith, are there for you if you want them.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I would like to choose Pat, if I may, please. You may indeed.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55So, as it stands, Julia has one Egghead, Pat,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58to help in the final, and Steph has got Kevin.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00The next category for you is Geography.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02So, Julia, as the winner in the second round,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04you can choose whether you go first or second.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I will go second this time, please.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13OK, so Geography, and your first question, Steph, is this.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18The Gosport ferry operates between Gosport and which city?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I've never been on it, I've never been to Gosport
0:10:24 > 0:10:26and I've never been to any of these places, so...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31..once again I'm going to do the eliminate one
0:10:31 > 0:10:32because I think it's unlikely,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36which may come back to bite me when it turns out to be the answer.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38But I don't think it's Exeter.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41You would imagine Gosport might mean something like
0:10:41 > 0:10:43the port on the river... No.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I'm starting to ramble now
0:10:47 > 0:10:50so I think I'd better just cut my losses...
0:10:51 > 0:10:52..and say...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57..take a deep breath and say Southampton. Southampton.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Now, I think that's Kevin's neck of the woods. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02The ferry actually crosses
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Portsmouth harbour to,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05unsurprisingly, Portsmouth.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07It's just a few minutes across, basically.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10It's not a... But it saves a big road trip, does it?
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Yeah, because Portsmouth Harbour
0:11:11 > 0:11:12extends back quite a way so
0:11:12 > 0:11:14if you were to do it any other way,
0:11:14 > 0:11:15you'd have to go all the way up
0:11:15 > 0:11:17and round so even though
0:11:17 > 0:11:18it's only a few minutes' journey,
0:11:18 > 0:11:20it really does make a difference.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Portsmouth is the answer.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25So, Julia, are things turning in your direction? Let's see.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Which avenue in New York City was built in the 1830s between
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Is it...
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Now, I went to New York in 2008 and
0:11:42 > 0:11:44we stayed on Avenue of the Americas.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51But I'm trying to...work out in my mind where exactly it is
0:11:51 > 0:11:53in relation to everything else.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I think it might be Avenue of the Americas.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Cos it's also known as Sixth Avenue, Avenue of the Americas,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02so I'm connecting it to Fifth Avenue.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05That's probably the most logical answer I can come up with. OK.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Avenue of the Americas. Is it known as Sixth? I think so. Yeah.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11So, a beautiful bit of logic there.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15It's the wrong answer, though. It's Madison Avenue. Oh!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19That's cruel, cos it's... To get that little fact,
0:12:19 > 0:12:21ought to be more helpful than that.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23So nothing so far. Steph, back to you.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28What is the name of the desert in Peru into which huge line drawings,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32often of animals, were carved roughly 2,000 years ago?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Is it...
0:12:38 > 0:12:41They are known as the Nazca Lines so it's the Nazca Desert.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Nazca Desert is quite right so you have a point there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47So we go back to Julia. You've got to keep up now.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Which of these is the name of a river in Dorset?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Someone had fun writing that question.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04I have been past this, the signs for these places down that way
0:13:04 > 0:13:05a number of times,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08and there is a place down that way called Piddle.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11So your answer is Piddle. My answer is Piddle.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Piddle is correct.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17OK, one each. Steph, your question.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19In its World Heritage Site description,
0:13:19 > 0:13:24the French city of Bordeaux is known as the port of the what?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30That's interesting. I've never heard it described as any of these.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34It is in the west of France so it could be that.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Port of the Sky.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Doesn't make a huge amount of sense, really.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39I mean, it would have been boats.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Port of the Sky, I suppose it could be that it's looking out
0:13:42 > 0:13:44across the Atlantic, huge expanses of sky.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Port of the Moon.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I can't think of any reason why it would have anything to do with that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I'm going to go with the prosaic answer and say West.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57It's Port of the Moon. Of course.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00So, Julia, here we go. This is interesting.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01If you get this right,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04you've then got two Eggheads in the final to Steph's one.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06If not, we go to Sudden Death. Your third question.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11Which British motorway has no junctions 1-3.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Is that...
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I'm not a driver so this is not good for me.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24M3 is down south,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Hampshire way, I think.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32It feels like it could be the M62, but I'm not...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I'm not really 100% on any of those and I can't imagine why it
0:14:35 > 0:14:39wouldn't have a junction... have junctions 1-3,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42unless they're elsewhere on another connecting road.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I don't know.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I don't have very much to hang this on so I'm just going to say the M62.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51M62 is the correct answer. Oh, gosh.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55So you pulled ahead of Steph there and we say congratulations, Julia.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57You've won the final head-to-head.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01This is a really intriguing contest.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Now, let's see - you can choose Barry or Dave or Judith.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I think I will choose Barry, please.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09OK, he'll be very pleased about that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13So, Julia, you've got Pat and Barry. And, Steph, you've got Kevin.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Shall we now play the final round?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18So, this is what we have been playing towards,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20it is time to find out who is one step closer
0:15:20 > 0:15:24to becoming an Egghead, and who will be eliminated from our search.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Steph and Julia, I'll ask each of you three questions in turn.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31This time the questions are all General Knowledge.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32And in this final round,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35you do of course have the backing of the Eggheads you've won.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37So, Steph, you've got Kevin, and behind you, Julia,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39are Pat and Barry.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42And you can call them in only once, that's the key thing.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44But you could, if you wanted to, Julia,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47use them both for one question.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Once they're done, they're done, so use them wisely.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Julia, as you won the last round,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54you get to choose whether you want to play first or second now.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56This time I'm going to go first, please.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01And here is your first question.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02On which children's programme
0:16:02 > 0:16:05did Alberto Frog and his Amazing Animal Band
0:16:05 > 0:16:06sometimes appear?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Oh, this is an absolute gem from my childhood, I remember it so well.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18And I loved Alberto and his Amazing Animal Band
0:16:18 > 0:16:21and how he got to choose a milkshake at the end because he'd done
0:16:21 > 0:16:23a good deed, and choose what flavour he wanted.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25And all of that was part of Bod.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Bod is correct. Brilliant.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Your first question now, Steph.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36In which town did Gordon Brown have his ill-fated encounter with
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Gillian Duffy during the 2010 general election campaign?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Marvellous, because I was thinking, "Oh, well, it was in Lancashire,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49"I think."
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Oh, the dilemma now of whether to...
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Do I use Kevin up on something like this
0:16:56 > 0:16:58and hope that I know the other ones?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Goodness, I'll kick myself if I ask Kevin
0:17:01 > 0:17:03and then it is the one that I think it is.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08But just to bring me back onto, hopefully, equal terms,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I will ask Kevin his opinion, please. All right.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13So, we haven't heard from you what yours is yet,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15probably best not to say.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Kevin, in which town did Gordon Brown have his ill-fated
0:17:19 > 0:17:23encounter with Gillian Duffy during the 2010 general election campaign?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Same problem as you, Steph, I'm afraid.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I was thinking it was Lancashire. If I've got...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35..an inclination, it's for Rochdale.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39If it was me, I would go, and I would have to make a choice,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41it was my own question, I would probably wind up going for
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Rochdale, but it could, it could also be...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I don't really think it's Preston, but it could be Burnley.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51So I don't know if that helps at all
0:17:51 > 0:17:55in terms of what your inclination was.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Pretty much identical to the way I was thinking,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I was leaning towards Rochdale, thinking probably not Preston,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but it might be Burnley, so...
0:18:02 > 0:18:06On that basis, let's say Rochdale.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Rochdale is the answer, well done. Got it right.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12OK. One each.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Is it going to carry on as tense as this?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17And Steph has used her Egghead and you haven't used yours,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20so you've got a good situation now, Julia.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Which Spanish island is home to a former studio of the painter
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Joan Miro, now a foundation bearing his name?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Oh. This is not something I've heard of.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39I've been to Mallorca a few times
0:18:39 > 0:18:42and it doesn't sound familiar with me.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43But I have no...
0:18:45 > 0:18:46..certainty whatsoever,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49so I think I might ask Pat what he thinks of this.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Pat, which Spanish island is home to a former studio
0:18:53 > 0:18:56of the painter Joan Miro, now a foundation bearing his name?
0:18:58 > 0:19:02I don't know the know the answer to this. I would suggest...
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I think Miro was Catalan.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Tenerife is in the Canaries,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10and Mallorca and Formentera are in the Balearics,
0:19:10 > 0:19:15which are geographically close to Catalonia
0:19:15 > 0:19:19and perhaps culturally, so I would prefer,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21if I had to take a go, have a go at this,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I would prefer to go one of the Balearics.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Taking your contribution into account,
0:19:27 > 0:19:28perhaps it's Formentera,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32but once again, I don't have any solid answer to this.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I think I'm just going to have to plump, then, for Formentera,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37just on the basis that it's not something I'm familiar with.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40And I feel like I would know it if it were Mallorca.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It is Mallorca. Oh, dear.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47So, although you don't have any Eggheads left, Steph,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50if you get this right, you are definitely in control.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54In 1971, the national tabloid newspaper the Daily Sketch
0:19:54 > 0:19:58was closed and merged with which other paper?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Well, this was the year I was born, so I wasn't reading any of them.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I just have a vague feeling somehow
0:20:11 > 0:20:15that the offices of the Scottish Mail
0:20:15 > 0:20:16may also mention the Daily Sketch,
0:20:16 > 0:20:21I don't know why I think that, I may have seen that at some point.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23It's a very random reason for doing it,
0:20:23 > 0:20:24but I will say the Daily Mail.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28What do you think, Kevin? My initial thought was the Mirror.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Then I started to think, "Oh, actually, is it the Mail?"
0:20:31 > 0:20:36So...what would I have gone for in the end? Um...
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I think I... You know, obviously I hope Steph is right,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I think I might have gone for the Mirror in the end. Interesting.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45In a way it's good you weren't helping,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47because it is the Daily Mail.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51The Mail is the answer. So, Steph is in the lead here.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Your third question, Julia, and you need to get this right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59You have still got Barry, known as the Brain.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Which part of the world was once divided up into three kingdoms
0:21:04 > 0:21:09known as Baekje, Silla and Goguryeo?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'm torn between two,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I don't really want to say too much because I feel like this is
0:21:17 > 0:21:21something Barry would know, so I'm going to ask him, please.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26OK, Barry, this is your big moment. You need to keep Julia in it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Julia, you will be relieved to know that I'm 100% certain of
0:21:29 > 0:21:31my answer on this one, and it's Korea.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Absolutely. Thank goodness.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36That's the one I wouldn't have thought it would be.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40So I will take Barry's advice, thank you, and say Korea.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Good work, Barry,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44because we came unstuck a bit with Wee Willie Winkie the other day.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46You know the history of Korea...
0:21:46 > 0:21:47I can manage dynasties,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50but nursery rhymes are completely beyond me.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Exactly. Wee Willie Winkie's the problem.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54All right, Korea is correct.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Good old Barry came through powerfully there as an Egghead,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59as he is expected to do.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03So it's two points each, but with your third question, Steph,
0:22:03 > 0:22:04you can take it.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09In which year was the Australian flag carrier airline Qantas founded?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19OK. SHE LAUGHS
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Well, before I heard the answers, I was thinking, "Oh, 1950s",
0:22:22 > 0:22:23so evidently not.
0:22:24 > 0:22:281940, Australia is part of the Empire then,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30would have been at war.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33So...is it less likely that would...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37..have been founded then?
0:22:37 > 0:22:421920 is a bit early for an airline to be founded.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I'm going to go down the middle and go 1930.
0:22:45 > 0:22:471930 is your answer.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51But it is the wrong answer. It's 1920. Oh.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54So, really, as you say, early in the history of air travel.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I guess the patriotic thing, they wanted to get cracking.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59So, two points each after three questions,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01we go to Sudden Death, scores level.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Back to you, Julia, gets a bit harder,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I don't give you alternatives. All Eggheads have been used.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Which of the British Armed Forces has a major base at Brize Norton?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I had an answer straight away,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17but I'm just going to have a little think about it.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19And it is the RAF.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22It is the RAF, Royal Air Force, yes.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Sudden Death, Steph, you need this.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Lisburn in Northern Ireland is situated on which river?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Oh, good grief.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34For some reason I don't know.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Again, my geography of Northern Ireland is appallingly bad.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I had in my head that Lisburn was fairly close to the border.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I'm trying to think...
0:23:45 > 0:23:48..when, many years ago, when I visited
0:23:48 > 0:23:51some of the Neolithic sites on the River Boyne.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54If that went up, and if that went in and through...
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Or the other voice in my head is saying, "What's...?"
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Again, I've gone blank,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I'm trying to think what's the river in Belfast,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05and it has all just gone completely blank.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10No. Nothing is coming to me, so I will have to say...
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Oh...I'll have to say the Boyne.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17The River Lagan.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Lagan, that's the one that goes through Belfast.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22So, we say congratulations, Julia, you have won.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Commiserations, Steph. Thank you. Well done, Julia.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34You've proved that winning comes as naturally to you as it does
0:24:34 > 0:24:39to our Eggheads, and you're one step closer to joining our quiz Goliaths.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Your work for today is not quite done, though.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43We give you three points for each round
0:24:43 > 0:24:45you've won today, so you've got six points.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47You'll now get the chance to add to those points by
0:24:47 > 0:24:50answering quick fire questions for two minutes.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52We give you a point for each correct answer,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55and we see where your final score puts you on the leaderboard.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58The top four places at the end of the heats will make it through
0:24:58 > 0:25:00to the semifinals. And we're very close to that moment,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02so yours will be the last name on the leaderboard.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04But hopefully not in tenth place.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06If we have a look at it now,
0:25:06 > 0:25:07you need to get,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09well, 21 or above, basically,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11to get into the green area
0:25:11 > 0:25:12and be in the semifinals
0:25:12 > 0:25:14and play again.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17So, all to play for. Julia, are you ready? Yes, I am.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19OK, all the best to you.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Your time starts now.
