A member of the Macclesfield and Stockport quiz league has been crowned the 2022 Mastermind Champion after a perfect performance on her specialist subject, The Peak District National Park.
Alice Walker, 66, a retired IT consultant living in Derbyshire, won the grand final of the BBC Two quiz show on Monday night, April 11. She's been part of the Macclesfield and Stockport quiz league since the 1980s, and applied for the show after considering it for years.
Partner Haydn watched on with granddaughter Evelyn, and daughter Laura who called her mum the "cleverest grandma in the country", whilst Alice's dance group, the Poynton Jemmers North West Morris Dancers, featured in a clip on the show to cheer Alice on. Alice prepared by reading lots of guidebooks, looking at maps, and reading up on all the historic sites around the park before walking round it with her dog Leo to cement the knowledge into her brain.
