Even The Chase's Governess Anne Hegerty was no match for the team of four.
A plucky team on The Chase have scooped a record £100,000 prize - the highest amount ever won on daytime TV in Britain - by slaying the Governess Anne Hegerty.
Diane, 52, a housewife from Lancaster, Luca, 21, a medical student from Cardiff, Tim, 62, a retired database administrator fromNorthamptonshire and Gayna, 38, a laundry assistant from west Yorkshire, answered 17 questions correctly giving them a potential prize of £100,000.
But then, it was the turn of the Chaser - professional quizzer Anne Hegerty, known as the Governess, to try and beat them by answering more questions correctly.
If she had, they would have lost all their winnings but she didn't manage to pull it off, meaning they were able to take home the full prize pot - and split the winnings equally in four, giving them a whopping £25,000 each.
The win was praised by viewers of the ITV game show, which screens in New Zealand on TVNZ 1, with many branding it 'the best episode ever'.
The game sees each team member build up an individual prize pot before facing the Chaser, and they were boosted by Diane's incredible win of £86,000.
If the Chaser doesn't manage to beat them by answering more questions correctly, they can add their winnings to the group pot at the end, which they play for as a team.
In the Final Chase they were given a four-step head start because there were four of them left in the last round, which they boosted up to 21 points with their correct answers.
