Members of the Alderley Edge Festival Committee faced TV's toughest quiz team when they took on the Eggheads for the popular BBC2 quiz show.

The Alderley Wizards competed against the Eggheads in subjects ranging from food & drink to politics to be shown later this month.

Having applied at the beginning of December, the team competed some test questions and an audition before being invited up to Glasgow to film the episode in February with chair Jeremy Vine.

Alderley Wizards will feature in the episode of Eggheads to be shown on BBC2 at 6pm on Monday, 25th July

Team member Maria Rushton said: "We had a terrific couple of days. Jeremy and the Eggheads were all very friendly and we were very well looked-after by the production crew."

The team was formed as part of the celebrations surrounding the 100th Alderley Edge Festival which took place in the village in May.

Maria added "We can't say whether or not we beat the Eggheads, but we certainly came away with memories that will last a lifetime."
