Two Sandbach residents and another two quizzers from Haslington are appearing on Channel 5's Eggheads today (Monday).

The four – Kevin Dean and Ian Turpin from Sandbach and husband and wife Ian and Julie Clarke from Haslington – will be on TV as 'Mrs Clarke's boys' at 6.30 pm.

They met when they belonged to opposing quiz teams at the former Limes pub in Sandbach where they were all top scorers.

The quartet formed a quiz team and first appeared on Eggheads in 2014 when it was on BBC.

They applied to join the programme again when it switched to Channel 5 and recorded tonight's episode in Ealing near London last September.

Retired IT programmer, Kevin Dean, treasurer of Sandbach Clean Team, will be watching tonight's programme.

He said: "I can't say what happens but most of the questions were manageable.

"It's great fun and is one of the easiest ways to get on TV. I'd recommend anyone else to have a go."

Mark Cook, co-ordinator of Sandbach Clean Team, is also looking forward to watching Eggheads tonight.

"Kevin is a dedicated member of Sandbach Clean Team and we're all keeping our fingers crossed and hoping his team does the area proud."  

Last year, the then Sandbach Mayor, Councillor Geraint Price Jones and his quiz team came face-to-face with the king of quizzes, Chris Hughes, from "Eggheads".

Mr Hughes, who hails from Crewe, lost out to the Sandbach team, at a fundraising evening to raise money for Crewe-based Autism Inclusive.
