It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Eggheads great Chris Hughes. Chris joined the show in 2003 and over the next 20 years gave us not only brilliant answers but very many laughs and happy memories. He will be hugely missed by all his Eggheads family.

So @Iwanrunner finally managed to beat Judith at sport on Eggheads with @theJeremyVine. You can see what it meant to him. He hasn't celebrated like that since he won the European 400m championships 20 years ago.

Eggheads (@theJeremyVine) has never won an award. Perhaps you think that there are worthier winners out there however, if you ever want to see Chris dressed as attached, voting for us in this year's TV Choice Awards is the only way you're going to do it -

And the great thing about watching Pointless is knowing that Eggheads is on immediately afterwards.
The great thing about watching ‘Eggheads’ is it means you don’t have to watch the news.

Editing an episode of Eggheads where the challengers win is special but seeing them do it when Kevin is in the final is extra special & very much part of what makes Eggs such a wonderful show. Giving quizzers the chance to quiz against a world champion - there's no show like it.

Thanks to each of you who have made their feelings known about our move to 4:45 (and thanks especially to those of you who have continued to watch at that time). We care very much about our Eggheads viewing family & what the show means to you 🍳❤️.

What a lot of people don't know (unless they've been on Eggheads) is that each of the Eggheads has 'walk-on' music. Judith's is 'Ace of Spades' by Motorhead. .

Just trying to work out what horrendously tough pronunciations we can put into the next series of Eggheads for @theJeremyVine to have a go at. Types of pasta always bring out his best Italian accent. .

Over 8500 people have appeared on Eggheads since it started 15 years ago. That's equivalent to the entire population of Clayton-le-Moors in Lancashire going up against our giants of quizzing.

Eggheads is a joyous programme to bring to the screen. I smile from beginning to end throughout the whole process - from bringing members of staff onboard to reading through all the question and onwards into editing all the episodes. It's a National Treasure. .

Watch tonight's Eggheads and. see Kevin 'The Grandmaster' Ashman having to take a very rare,"blind guess" in his Film & TV round. That almost never happens. see one of the Egghead admit to having once snogged a llama. Yes, you read that correctly. Happily, it's not Chris.
