QUIZ fans can tune in to see a brainy pub bunch tackle the country's top quizmasters on TV.

Earlier this year, the six-strong team from the Cart and Horses at Astley recorded a battle of the minds in the BBC1 quiz Eggheads. The result can be seen on on Tuesday, October 12, at 12.30pm.

Landlord Malcolm Hilton, Gerald Platt, Dave Foy, John Potter, Alan Cooper and Brian Robinson challenged TV quiz champs past and present, including the first TV millionaire winner, an international mastermind and a multiple 15-1 champion.

The show, hosted by Dermot Murnaghan, has a jackpot of £1,000 which rolls over until one of the daily challengers is successful.

Landlady Bessy Hilton said the team had auditioned in Leeds and won a spot on the show.

Meanwhile the team is keeping mum about the result.

The pub is planning "a bit of a do" when the show is broadcast.
