Make Me an Egghead is a British quiz show on BBC Two presented by Jeremy Vine.
It ran from 22 August to 23 September 2016 and was won by Steve Cooke and Beth Webster.
After CJ de Mooi left Eggheads for an acting career in Cape Town, South Africa,[1] the BBC announced that it would be airing a televised search for two replacement Eggheads,[2] one male, one female.
The first three rounds focused on one of nine subject categories (out of Politics, Arts & Books, Food & Drink, History, Geography, Science, Music, Film & Television and Sport).
Steve Cooke, the winning man, is a member of Mensa who previously won £12,900 on The People Versus in 2001.
She is active on the Quizzing Grand Prix Circuit in the United Kingdom, and in The Quiz League of London.
