Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Floor Manager Naomi Richardson meets the Irregulars
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Floor Manager Naomi Richardson helps the Irregulars settle in
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
The Irregulars - Roger Johnson, Guy Marriott, Catherine Cooke, Nicholas Utechin & Antony Richards
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Five of the country's top quizzers: the Eggheads! - CJ de Mooi, Kevin Ashman, Judith Keppel, Barry Simmons & Chris Hughes
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
The friendly inquisitor, Jeremy Vine
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
The Irregulars are playing for a prize of £3,000
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Jeremy Vine introduces the Irregulars: from right to left, Antony Richards (crystallographer & publisher) and Nicholas Utechin (freelance journalist & broadcaster)
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Again reading from right to left, we meet Catherine Cooke (librarian) and Guy Marriott (retired solicitor)
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Finally we are introduced to the team's captain, Roger Johnson (retired librarian)
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
The Irregulars are keen to know what the first subject will be
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
And the first subject is... Music. Which of the Irregulars should take it?
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Catherine Cooke, a singer and musician, agrees to answer questions on Music - but which Egghead will she face?
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Catherine Cooke chooses Barry Simmons as her opponent - and is narrowly beaten
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
The next subject is Science, and there is one Irregular ideally qualified for it...
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Dr Antony Richards, crystallographer, accepts the challenge of Science. But which Egghead will he challenge?
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Antony decides to take on the lovely Judith Keppel
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Judith Keppel was the first person to win £1,000,000 on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' - but Science is not her strong subject, and Antony Richards comes through the round unscathed
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
With one player through to the final, the Irregulars' captain, Roger Johnson, wonders what the next subject will be
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Film & Television is next, and it's a subject that suits Roger Johnson quite well
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Roger chooses to face the colourful CJ de Mooi in the Film & Television round
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
CJ de Mooi is a top quizzer and Mensa chess champion, but Roger Johnson beat him on Film & Television
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Questions in the last individual round will be on Geography. Should it be Guy Marriott or Nick Utechin who takes it on?
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Guy Marriott agrees to answer questions on Geography, but who will his opponent be?
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Guy Marriott opts to face 'Mastermind' winner and former Brain of Britain, Chris Hughes, in the Geography round
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Chris Hughes is a former train driver. Perhaps that gives him an advantage. It's a close-run thing, but he beats Guy Marriott in the Geography round
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Each team is down to three people in the final round. Barry Simmons and Chris Hughes are joined by Kevin Ashman for the Eggheads
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
The Irregulars have saved Nick Utechin for the final round. He joins Antony Richards and Roger Johnson
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Kevin Ashman is the quizzer's quizzer, having clocked up all-time record scores on 'Mastermind' and 'Brain of Britain' and been World Quizzing Champion six times
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Nicholas Utechin is the expert's expert - on Sherlock Holmes...
Sherlock Holmes Society of London:
Alas, at last there comes a question that the Irregulars can't answer correctly, and victory once more belongs to the Eggheads
