Barry Simmons is a former IT systems developer, professional quiz player and now an Egghead. He got into the hot seat on 5th February 2005 after three failed attempts in March 2004, another one in April 24, 2004 which, by coincidence, was the same episode in which Pat Gibson won £1,000,000, and in October 2004. He won a total of £64,000 in prize money.
