    Sorry OP and best of luck to your Gran :)

    Go on the babs is right. She's wanted to be on that show for years, seriously she was happier to get 3 stars on a scratchcard than 100 quid. Then at 96 she finally got on the show, and she was legendary tonight

    won 20K and a round the world trip.


    And she made derek mooney work for his wages tonight!!!!!!!!!


    Well done Babs:D:D:D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Good for her, would she be a person who would go on the round the world trip? That would be pretty cool thing to do if she hasn't travelled a whole lot before.

    or you could nick it off her....

    Well done though!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 18,809 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kimbot


    She could just take the cash instead of the holiday aswell!! Actually I think you just get the cash for it either way!!

    I dunno whats gonna happen with that, id love if she could go on it. but we gotta see. She's v old, but it would be great to see her jetting off.

    I flicked over and say an old woman waving a walking stick. Was that her? Legend really.

    Yeah that was her, waving her stick all round the place. Legend is the exact word. Derek Mooney got a great laugh off her.

    It was touch and go for a while if she would have been able to go on herself, or someone might have had to represent her on the show, but its great she was able to do it herself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 890 ✭✭✭l3LoWnA


    Awh that's great! Delighted for your gran! Wonder how many of us will reach the ripe old age of 96! And then get on the telly....and win money :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,892 ✭✭✭Harpy

    There was a bit that they cut out that was meant to be brilliant. At the start when Mooney was asking her about her age and she said she was born in 1911, Mooney said 'well ye musnt have had electricity then' and my Gran said 'no we used candles'. Mooney then asked her, did ye burn the candle at both ends?
    Babs didnt understand at all what he was asking, and looked at him with a serious face and says 'No, when they were finished we just lit a new one'!
