Eggheads' Daphne Fowler - Winner Takes All - 1979

[@antster1983]

Sadly the show's creator and co-host Geoffrey Wheeler died yesterday (on Monday 30th December 2013). He was 83.

[@WHUSean]

Has Daphne ever not been old??

[@exgren]

She was born old

[@dangale123]

Geoff has the voice of my childhood.

[@MrDavey2010]

She’s been in every game show ever made!

[@Mark-lj1dj]

Seems like daphne should have upped the ante in the last round if she wanted to win. That 1000 limit at the end seemed like a swizz

[@thesnowdens]

The fella against Dapne looks the spit of Norris Mcwerter

[@jonnamechange6854]

Given that Arthur had used a maximum bet (£50) on each round, the final answer had to be the 10 - 1 shot or else the contestants could not have achieved the £1000 game prize on offer.

[@andeegreen]

Is there anything that Daphne hasn't been on? Talk about serial contestant!

[@noelmadden1920]

Daffers going for 30 on the first question in the final. Bet she learned from that.

[@Tubewings]

Well, I don't think she was on Gladiators.

[@exgren]

That was about the only thing she hasn't been on

[@Mark-lj1dj]

There's still time for her to do hole in the wall 😂

[@Square1986]

Daphne made a great run even though she didn't miss a question.

[@MrDoncos]

Wonder if Arthur is still alive?.Very clever man

[@oldhippie81]

He Died in 1997.

[@Vintangus]

I seem to remember the last question was always 5-1 or 10-1

[@andrewscott1253]

Just curious, why to folks leave the time codes on with these old videos. Are there practical implications or is it just to give it an air of authenticity?

[@mikehumble1120]

Andrew Scott bitta both

[@RicardoWolf33]

Because the time code is burnt in to the copy that they have.

[@lmjones7716]

They're from the studio archives.

[@jayjazz3766]

24:45 combover or syrup?

[@exgren]

LOL

[@Tubewings]

Well, this WAS her first TV quiz show.

[@5T3-d3c]

Yes Pleathe

[@lmjones7716]

Quiz shows have really dumbed down. Some of these questions are fit for Only Connect.

[@mightyquinnproductions8672]

Whats the point in making £1200 pounds when you can only take £1000 ?

[@Mark-lj1dj]

I thought the same thing. The only thing i can think of is if you win you get to come back for the final or something

[@darrowby1972]

I can only imagine Daphne is a right barrel of laughs to know. Anyone else agree with me or is there a wide difference of opinion?

[@andeegreen]

Yeah I think she was actually 'Jet'

[@klisher]

that theme tune was crap. so forgettable. glad that changed it "winner takes alll" ba ba da ba da!!

[@Mark-lj1dj]

I feel like this show was old fashioned even in the 70s

[@Over_Sky]

I noticed that the winner didn't even get the full amount of their own winnings, let alone those of the loser. Winner takes all, my a??e :D

[@Mark-lj1dj]

"Winner takes all" (terms and conditions apply) 😂

[@TheIrishAreTheBest]

MrDoncos - I'd give you 10-1 on that..

[@fifthof1795]

Remember the prog, but not the dreadful music.

[@SuperBagshot]

probably crushed by the weight of his ego

[@HesperusWreck]

Er... hang on... did Daphne just lose?? Daphne? LOSE?

[@Mark-lj1dj]

Like she says she's not a numbers person. A ninja at quizzing but didn't play the numbers to win.
