Is the Jackpot in envelope 1 or 10?

Only time will tell, although Jake reckons he knows but of course his team, "Insert team name here", need to win the 'closest to' question to find out if he's right. We now definitely know it wasn't in envelope 9, much to the dismay of "The team name is your job Ollie!" who worked hard to gain the opportunity to select from the three remaining Jackpot envelopes following a tense tiebreaker with "Wolfpack".

As to the quiz, it's a good job the boss lady Rose was away this evening because her team "Against all Odds", who have won several times more recently, obviously missed her determination and leadership because they changed their strategy to the £20 bar voucher for coming second last as the quiz progressed - she won't be happy. That said, the strategy of most teams appeared to be similar from the scoring. Albeit by a point only, the aptly named "Almost second Last" proved to be very accurate as they came joint last along with "Quizzy Rascals", thus enabling "Special Relationship" to take the prize for the second week running - hopefully they will be sympathetic to us post Brexit!

As for the £40 bar voucher first prize, I'd like to say it was tight and hard fought with lots of anguish and sweat on the brow, but the reality was that we had only four teams scoring in the 30's this week with the winners, "Breaking Bad" ultimately finishing a clear 4 points ahead of their nearest rivals.

So, is the £150 Jackpot cash Prize in envelope 1 or 10? Well hopefully we'll find out next week when we do it all again. Same time, same place: Wednesday 16th October. As always, to help the Highwayman ensure all teams are comfortably seated, please book in advance on 01442 285480.
