Archery Eggheads appear before the TV cameras

Archery GB's team of Eggheads have recorded their appearance on the popular BBC2 quiz show.

Olympic archer Naomi Folkard, Paralympic gold medalist Danielle Brown, GB Team Manager Hilda Gibson, international judge Graham Potts and coach project development manager Ollie Holt appeared before the cameras at the BBC's Television Centre in West London.

Their brief was to take on the team of Eggheads, made up of five people who have achieved fame and notoriety by winning other TV quiz shows , such as Mastermind and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

The 'soon to be famous' five from Archery GB spent Thursday morning recording the programme, which will go to air later in the year.

"It was terrific fun," said Hilda. "We all had a great time, it was a wonderful experience, and we hope we were able to do Archery GB proud."

Robert Potts - Graham's son - acted out the role of 'super sub' on the day, a non-appearing contestant who is on stand-by in case one of the five Archery GB team members were taken ill, or suffered from stage fright. Happily neither happened, but Robert's appearance on the day was much appreciated.

"We all had a lot of fun," said Graham. "I really appreciated the opportunity to take part in the show, and though I would be telling fibs if I said I wasn't nervous, the whole experience just whizzed by."

Team members are now sworn to secrecy as to the outcome of their appearance on the programme. Their programme is expected to be shown in August.
