Mrs Patt on T.V.

Mrs F. Patt of 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 into doughnuts’. Earlier Gilbert Harding had made a geographical guess that Mrs Patt might be a ‘Cornish pasty filler-upper’.

Mrs Patt brought a ‘very nice cake from the people of Bideford’ and invited the panel – David Nixon, Lady Barnett, Gilbert Harding and Barbara Kelly – to sample it after the show.

In the photograph of the T.V. picture Mrs Patt is seen next to Eamonn Andrews, the Question Master.
