Teachers smash the Eggheads
A TEAM of primary school teachers from Ruislip beat the BBC’s master quiz team the Eggheads to win £22,000.
The teachers, from Deanesfield Primary School, formed local pub quiz team All Saints.
They are regular contenders at their local pub, The Ascott in Eastcote, quizzing there together every Wednesday evening.
The team defeated a team of expert quiz masters on the longrunning BBC Two show, broadcast on Thursday September 21.
Year 6 teacher Billy, Year 2 teacher Holly, Year 3 teacher Lucia, teaching assistant Julie and Year 5 teacher Joe went up against what is dubbed “possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain”.
The achievement was all the more impressive given that the Eggheads team had been undefeated for the last 21 episodes of the gameshow, now in its 19th season.
Deanesfield Primary School operations manager Sara Tailor said: “We are extremely proud that a team of staff members here at Deanesfield Primary school defeated the quizmasters on the BBC programme Eggheads.”
The All Stars got just two questions wrong out of 15 on the show.
