I feared it would happen one day – and now my worst nightmare is coming true: Eggheads are taking over the world.

The super-duper brainy quizmeisters have practically got a stranglehold on BBC2's viewing schedule with daily shows at 4.30pm and 6pm.

The reason is that the monster machine that is Eggheads is searching for a new member.

Original Egghead C J de Mooi must have been very worried when they floated that idea.

Surely the Bond villain-esque one thought his days were numbered because, as everyone knows, he's by far the thickest Egghead. He's even worse than Judith on sport.

But apparently the new Egghead will rotate with the current ones each day. Presu-mably the Eggheads wanted some time off to work on their plan for world domination.

Or maybe Judith just said she wanted more time to spend the million she won on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
