Mrs F Patt, of ‘Raleigh View’, Bideford, failed to beat the ‘What’s my line’ television panel on Sunday evening’s programme.
The panel were up to their last two questions when they discovered her occupation which she gave as ‘putting jam in doughnuts’ – ‘giving them a hypodermic injection’ as panel member David Nixon described it.
Earlier Gilbert Harding had made a geographical guess that Mrs Patt might be ‘a Cornish pastry filler-upper’.
Mrs Patt, who said she had brought to the studio a very nice cake from the people of Bideford, invited the panel – David Nixon, Lady Barnett, Gilbert Harding and Barbara Kelly – to sample it after the show.
She concluded with a ‘good night’ to her three-year-old daughter, Diane, who was watching her mummy on television at home.
In the photograph of the TV picture, Mrs Patt is seen next to Eamonn Andrews, the Question Master, who has the score card in front of him. If the challenger replies ‘no’ ten times in the course of questions by the panel who endeavouring to ascertain his or her job, then the challenger has beaten the panel and gets a certificate to that effect.
