This is undeniably Daphne Fowler's (BBC Eggheads) finest performance as she defends her title as 15-1 Champion on the quiz-show 15-1 with William G. Stewart in 2000.
William G. Steward used to scare the hell out of me when I watched this show as a teenager. He reminded me of strict science/maths teacher who was so unforgiving and frowned upon failure and stood for no nonsense. But watching him now, he was actually just the perfect quiz master and a gentleman.
This is a proper quiz show. Just questions, no chatting, no messing or voting. Someone please start a campaign, I can't be bothered. BRING BACK 15 TO 1
Daphne put up this fantastic performance in early 2000, during series 28 of Fifteen to One. However, she actually lost in the Grand Final to Dag Griffiths - and in fact, it wasn't until two series later, in early 2001, that she became series champion for the first time. She did defend her title after that, though.
Aw I wrote that below before I watched this. I actually cried watching this. That was something beautiful. I remember watching this at home after school - that's probably why she's one of my idols.
Daphne made quizzing & competitions her career, she won dozens over the year,s cars, houses, holidays,clothes, electrical goods, you name it, she won it..
I live in Ashford Kent near where she grew up. Extremely clever, probably more than Kevin Ashman. Lovely natured human being. I hope she is well and mobile. Most amazing quizzing I have ever seen.
Daphne is a force of nature. She's a granny who kicks ass and is so adorably apologetic with it on both on Eggheads and in her appearances on 15 to 1. I want her to be my granny. I wonder if she likes Werther's Originals and G&T...
Eric Matthews must surely rank as THE most unlucky contestant in 15-to-1 history, coming runner-up TWICE to Daphne Fowler (and still standing at the end both times)! In 2002, Eric would finally (and IMO deservedly) taste gameshow victory when he won an episode of The Weakest Link, having been the strongest player overall and the best player in 4 out of 7 elimination rounds, so he clearly wasn't a "bad" quizzer - he was just very unfortunate coming up against Daphne Fowler twice...
Saw the Swedish version of 15-to-1 tonight, not a patch on the Englih version, and as if they could ever have anyone as good as Daphne? Daphne's quiz game is so tight that it's restricting blood flow to her massive brain, not that it hampers her responses.
I read that she stuggled with sleeping in beds other than her own and always did rubbish if she went to London for filming the night before cos she couldn't sleep. She traveled to London on the morning of shooting a few years later and nailed it.
You can't really take anything away from her, she's incredible. I got about half the answers myself which most people would consider to be good but really I'm a fool in comparison to Daphne.
Daphne Fowler became the woman to score 432 Points On 15-1 In 2000. Daphne Fowler Became The Champions On The Grand Final On 15-1 In 2001 Twice. Daphne Fowler Lost The Game On 15-1 In Late 2002. Did Daphne Fowler Won £1,000,000 On Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
I find that annoying! What is the point in competing if you're going to be sorry for winning! But I love her in all other respects- she seems like a really nice person. Do you watch Eggheads? She's been having a bad time of it lately- I feel very sorry for her.

"Question please" every time, reminds me of "Cashier number 3 please!" :P

The woman is impressive by any measure. We love you Daphne!!!!!

Epic eggheadry

i love daphne off eggheads, shes such a lovely old lady
might aswell call you necromancer 😝
its more fun imagining hes asking "slice of apple pie?" "yes please"
On the last question she should have said 'Nominate, please', as a joke!
That's what you call a Tour De Force
Bill McKaig got a perfect 433. He didn't miss a single question all game.

Check out William G's sly hand kiss at the end. You do know that the G stands for Gangsta don't you?
Playa.
Question please!

I know alot of people call her a bit thick but she's actually really intelligent
Gazmcarthy has uploaded it. You can see it
Incredible ! Were the two other guys supposed to play ? Cause they could have gone and sit in the audience.
RIP William
