egg heads,,,
 

When is someone going to beat the egg heads , (B,B,C,2)every night, :idunno: Its now up to £53.000,,rising one thousand every night,,,,The challengers were so close tonight i realy thought they would do it....:idunno:

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Haven't watched it in ages but rest assured there will soon be one very happy and wealthy team appearing on BBC2, I will try and watch it tomorrow evening;)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Aren't these repeats? The money got up very high the last time it was on.

To be honest, the teams are pretty poor aren't they?

BTW Granny.... I was in Cleveleys myself tonight ;)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I used to watch it all the time and though there were some big winners I can't remember it ever being so much, though I could be wrong. I like Eggheads but that CJ gets right up my nose, have seen him on Fifteen To One and Beat The Nation and didn't like him then either!!:(

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Well get a team together from on here and enter. If there is a new series. :D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

if they are repeats. did anyone ever beat them?

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Put me down, it would be a laugh!!;)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

It was 52 k tonight, 53k tomorrow,,the biggest ever prize,, the last biggest was just over 40k....Its Chris that annoys me most ,he thinks he knows everything,,,I like Daphne and Judith best....

Re: egg heads,,,
 

What was you up to then,, i hope you saw the new prom all lit up ...Its nice

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Now Granny you will be getting called sexist for remarks like that!!:p:rolleyes:;)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

No they're not repeats, it's a new series. Apparently the show yesterday was it's 250th programme, and it's getting very exciting with the pot getting so large.

You can always tell if it's a repeat by keeping an eye on Judith's beads, and how plucked C.J.'s eyebrows are.;):D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Do you think the Eggheads questions are easier than the challengers in the final rounds or its it just me..

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I think it's just luck, they get to chose if they want to go first or second.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Like I said earlier I haven't been watching lately, I will definetly try and catch it tomorrow, just to see who beats them:D:D:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

They, once again, weren't beaten today!! Its been won a few times, but i'm seriously thinking that this could run and run!!

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I'm quite glad about that as I missed it, will definetly watch it tomorrow.;)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I was having a meal with friends at the Italian restaurant opposite Sugar Sugar..... Pucciellos is it called? Very nice food.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

What is "Eggheads?" Something else we don't have in the colonies?

Re: egg heads,,,
 

It's a quiz, a team of five take on this team who are called The Eggheads. They are people who have been on all different quizzes and are experts, a bit like walking encyclopedias. The prize money starts at £1000 and goes up by same each time it isn't won, so it is a long time since they got beat!!:)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Its a quiz programme on B.B.C.2 every weekday night Eric,,Any team of five can enter to beat the most brainy team in the country(allegedly)they are called the Eggheads .the prize goes up £1000 each night until its won,,,:)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Snap Bernadette,,, we explained that perfectly ,,,:D:D:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Yes think we should go on Eggheads:D:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

One of the Eggheads is Judith Keppel, the first person in the UK to win a million pounds on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.

She's a cousin of Camilla Parker Bowles and they are both descended from Alice Keppel, who was the last and favourite mistress of Edward VII.

Eggheads (TV series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Sounds like a lot of fun ... (so does Alice Keppel) ... but only a 1000 pounds? That seems pretty cheap. That's only about $2000. You can do a lot better on Jeopardy. Or even on Win Ben Stein's Money. Still, sounds like a good idea for a show. I wonder why it hasn't hit North America.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

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.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I 'spose. Maybe I'm getting mercenary in my dotage:D And a 100 grand isn't all that bad of a payday. And the show is probably much better than crap like The Price Is Right and Wheel of Fortune. I still watch Jeopardy every night, and somtimes Millionaire. After watching those, I don't feel guilty about tuning in to WWE, Smackdown or Raw:rolleyes:

Re: egg heads,,,
 

They still haven't been beaten!! The team 2nite came very close!

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Who haven't been beaten yet, Deuce and Domino or the Eggheads:confused::D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

The Eggheads Eric:D:p

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Re: egg heads,,,
 

You ned to keep watching then, just to see who eventually topples them. I like the programme but have missed it quite a lot lately. Will be making sure I get it taped if there is a chance of missing it, at least till this big money is won.:)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Damn ... i was hoping that Batista and the Undertaker had got together and beat D and D. Of course, the wrestlers could take on the brainy bunch .... Eggheads vs No Necks ... could be a hit.:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Its 60 thousand tomorrow,, ,I wish some team would put me out of my misery:rolleyes:

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Thanks for that nudge Granny have missed it again this week, will make sure I tune in tomorrow:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Some of the challenging teams this week haven't stood a chance.

Yesterday's team, Brains and Beauty, may have had the looks, but would have struggled to come up with one brain between the five of them.

I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be the day when they lose.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

yes it is a very good quiz but i would like them to get beat for once.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

They will get beaten eventually and what a win for the team that beat them!!:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I really want a worthy team to win it, when they eventually lose.

I didn't like today's opponents, the giddy southern am dram brigade.

I was glad the Eggheads beat 'em.:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I'm not so sure. I've seen them go unbeaten for weeks and when the series ends, the cash pot goes back to £1000 for the start of the new series.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

It has never done that!

A series ends, and then they show repeats!

You've been tricked.

Trust me, that has never happened.

Sadly, I know.:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

It certainly did so in the earlier series. I remember that Dermot bloke saying so.
I actually stopped watching it about a year ago. Just like The Weakest Link, they showed so many of the shows and repeats that it battered me into unconciousness.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

No, you're wrong.

Two series runs ended on 23 and 42 grand, then they showed repeats, then they started again, carrying on with the prize fund in the new run of programmes.

Sadly I've never missed watching one of the 261 programmes, and would go and throw eggs at the producer if they stole from the prize pot, as you think they did.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Hmmm... weird. I was convinced that had happened. :confused:

Literally egg heads eh? Now that would be enough for me to start watching again. ;)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

The repeats are very annoying. One series ends and then they start showing old runs the very next day. The Sunday Times Culture magazine tv listings is always bang on, and tells you if a programme is a repeat.

Either that, or as posted earlier, keep an eye on C.J.'s hair and Judith's beads...or that little mole on her lip.:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I was just going to say CJ's hair is the give away for me:)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

It's like the Weakest Link. You have to keep an eye on Anne's ginger fright wig, and how lined her face is, to see if it's a repeat.:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Don't watch that much now, but will bear your tips in mind when I do:eek:

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I thought you said "Judith's beard" !!! :eek:

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Oh! My! God! Has anyone just seen it?? Students won it!! (£75,000!!!) Daphne looked so happy she looked like she was going to cry!

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Yes was just looking for this thread, briiliant wasn't it?

Re: egg heads,,,
 

At last they were beaten, and it was so exciting!

If it wasn't going to be a team from Lancashire, then I these young lads from Brookes University Oxford, deserved it, and like they said the £75,000 will help pay their overdrafts off.

Bit off a come down on Monday, when the prize fund goes back down to a grand.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

..and they were polite.

I hate it when Dermot asks the challengers if they'd like to go first or second, and people answer without saying please.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

well done to those students, how many people got the american death penalty right though, that was a good question

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I've watched this a couple of times and I definitely think they give easier questions to the Eggheads.

Well done if someone's managed to win.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I often thought that but they do have the choice of questions. Was good to see students win such a large amount of money.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

AT LAST,,,,,,,,,,I can sleep in peace tonight,,,,,i never thought 2 young lads would beat them on their own,,,,
:):):):):):):):):):):):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:):):):):):) :):):):):)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Its countdown that does that for me,,,,Its so rude,I will them to lose when they dont say please....

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Does that mean the pills for the nerves are heading for the bin then. :p:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

yep they are all down the toilet ;)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Bah..:mad: bleedin students?..probably spend it on drugs and cider! :D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

They looked like nice lads to me,,, good on em....:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Yes they were, said the cash would help pay off their student loans;):)

Re: egg heads,,,
 

GC!!!! This you wanting to take care of em? :p

Re: egg heads,,,
 

BERNADETTE when you are in your cups, you have the answer to all lifes questions, signed EGGHEAD.:D:p:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

No Spuggie but i wouldent have minded a cut of their cash...:D:D:D

Re: egg heads,,,
 

Another team, this one from Preston, have beaten the Eggheads.

What a pity they didn't play a few days earlier.

The prize would have then been seventy five thousand pounds, instead of three.

Re: egg heads,,,
 

I still think the eggheads get some easy questions,,and the challengers seem to get at least one stinker ,,,,,,,,,,,,:) well it wouldent do for them to get beaten everynight,,:idunno:
