A Scot took home a share of the jackpot on the Chase today after his team came out victorious.
Jim from Edinburgh, Anna from Hertfordshire, Pam from Lincolnshire and Jay from Loughborough all teamed together to take on one of the country's finest quiz brains again on Thursday night's edition of the ITV show.
Jim was up to the podium first, as host Bradley Walsh paid a nod to the "beautiful" capital city of Scotland. The 34-year-old works at Edinburgh airport as a customer service assistant and admitted he enjoys painting 'mini figures' for board games during his spare time.
"I set them up and have pretend battles with my friends," he said revealing he has 'thousands' at home already and would like to expand his collection as well as purchase a house with his wife in the near future.
"She wants the money for that and I want to buy more toys," he added as the audience laughed before the Edinburgh local scored an impressive £9,000 in the cash-building round before taking on tonight's Chaser - Ann Heggarty, who also studied at Edinburgh University.
"Hello Jim I like reenacting battles with little soldiers too, that's why I am barred from that pub in Aldershot," The Governess joked.
He went on to fly through to the final chase, having stuck with his £9,000 offer having easily been able to take the higher shot at the £40,000.
Next up to face The Governess was 31-year-old Anne, who admitted she should be spending any winnings on driving lessons but would be tempted by the idea of a sunny getaway to Costa Rica. She stuck with her £2,000 from the cash builder as her "dad would kill her" if she had taken the lower offer, before joining Jim in the final round.
Retired biology technician Pam, 70, who blew Bradley away with her age and trade union official Jay, 34, also joined the pair as the full-team joined forces in the final chase - banking a respectable £27,000 between them all having both contributed £8,000 to the pot.
In the final chase Anne admitted the team "played ridiculously well, I could be facing a very hard target," but they actually only managed to score 14 questions correctly along with their four head start - giving them 18.
Each player walked away with £6,750 each despite Bradley pointing out they had "underperformed". Their six attempts to push back and three executed bagged them the thousands.
The players rallied around in a huge group embrace as they celebrated catching the Chaser with just seconds to spare, as Jim confirmed he would be spending his winnings on "more toys"
