It isn't really about the money, it's the prestige of trying to win against five of the supposed brainiest people in Britain.
The Eggheads have had a long unbroken run, and the prize fund now stands at £53,000, which to regular fans of the show is an unprecedented amount, and it's getting very exciting.
