20k if you get the jackpot counter to drop with a double counter at the same time but I think that has only happened once, so yes, it is normally 10k.

Don’t know where I got the idea she’d won £30,000, it was £10,000. Still not a bad outcome.

As you say the most you can win is £20,000.

are you a tipping point superfan?

I'm unemployed, I basically just sit around watching boxsets and quiz shows all day every day and the presenter mentioned a couple of months back that the 20k has only been won once.

Have you been watching Family Fortunes? The top prize on that is 30K.

The first contestant was a middle age Scottish chap who knew that Berwick on Tweed was near the border with Scotland and thought it was in Norfolk. The second answer came from a 20ish year old female who admitted she hadn’t a clue about her own country’s geography. Hopefully neither work for Royal Mail.

When sending a parcel to Thailand once I was asked by the lady behind the counter whether it was in Europe so it is a possibility

Enjoyed Trackers on Sky Atlantic last night based on the novel of the same name by the excellent Afrikaans writer Deon Meyer. Rather surprisingly it was developed by Meyer with Robert Thorogood, the creator of Death in Paradise. There were a few minor changes from the book and I guess it would always be difficult to portray the author's portrayal of the complexities of life in the new South Africa, but it was still a cracking watch

but back to quiz shows - the public v pro quizzers - the chase eggheads etc - there always has to be royalty lines and shakespeare questions in every single show - the pro quizzers memorise all this info as par for the course but keith from kettering doesnt- make it more even - general knowledge for everyone ditch royalty and shakespeare - its too heavily weighted in the favour of pro quizzers

Try watching it on mute , helps you try and get an answer without the sound of the geeks discussing the question , and also i`ve noticed when watching without the sound on Victoria C M throws her head , arms  and hair about like a demented Miss Piggy on speed .

I have tried watching it on mute, but V C-M's cleavage keeps appearing. 

And her legs during the "Wall".

I was watching TV this morning & I was surprised how I thought of a cross reference. I was watching Homes Under the Hammer,  and I have been following the Oscar Pistorious Story, and when the bids came in "thick & fast", I thought of Oscar, because he never came across as the sharpest knife in the box, did he?

money for nothing = woman waits for white middle aged middle class person to bring chair to tip - spends 50 quid on fuel to transport it from bristol to hebden bridge - item gets tarted up at a cost of eg 300 quid- someone who wants to get their business on tv pays 340 for it because they are gonna get on tv otherwise said item would be re listed multiple times on ebay at a loss
