What is Eggheads all about?
Winners from shows like 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?', 'Weakest Link' and 'Mastermind' are pitted against amateur quizzers as they compete to win the title and prize money.
In each episode, a team of four quiz and game show champions (the Eggheads) is challenged by a team of four contestants for prize money. If the challengers lose, then £1,000 is added to the prize money fund until the Eggheads are beaten, when the prize will revert to £1,000. The most prize money that has been won is £75,000, in 2007.
Some teams have been reduced to one contestant for the final round, but have still beaten five Eggheads. Occasionally, one remaining Egghead will beat five challengers.
Only once have the Eggheads lost four games in succession and only four times has a team of all five challengers won the final round. Since 2021, it has been four Eggheads against four challengers, instead of the previous five.
