Kevin Ashman "Eggheads", teamed up with other quiz champions, in which members of the public pit their wits against them in order to win a cash prize. Alongside his Egghead team mates he also took part in the spin-off show "Are You an Egghead?", a competition to find further members of the Egghead team resulting in the addition of Barry Simmons in 2008 and Pat Gibson in the second series in 2009. For ten years Ashman had never incorrectly answered a history category question. This happened for the first time on 6 January 2014. Currently ranked World/European number 1, Ashman has 17
Are You an Egghead? rounds. The opportunity to become the sixth Egghead attracted some of the 'biggest' names from the British quizzing scene as they attempt to join 'arguably the greatest quiz team in Britain'. Match One: Stephanie Bruce v. David Rainford: "The National Lottery People's Quiz" winner from 2007 Stephanie Bruce was defeated by former "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" contestant David Rainford 5–3 in the final round after David had won four head-to-heads to Stephanie's one. Match Two: Jenny Ryan v. Mark Labbett: Jenny Ryan, a regular on the British quizzing circuit, defeated Mark Labbett 5–3 after a closely fought contest.
