Record-Breaking Quiz Show Win
Claudia Winkleman was left visibly emotional during the latest episode of Channel 4’s One Question as a father-daughter duo claimed a record-breaking victory. Contestants Dave and Emily from Lancashire stunned viewers by winning an incredible £100,000 in just six minutes—one of the fastest wins the show has ever seen.
The quiz, known for its high-stakes format, challenges players to answer just one question from 16 possible options. Their question for the night: “What is Smith?” With unwavering confidence, Emily immediately identified Dodie Smith as the author behind The Hundred and One Dalmatians, locking in their answer without considering the alternatives.
As the tension built, Claudia, 53, couldn’t help but express her admiration, telling them: "Oh my gosh... What a brain! That has never happened before. Your brain served you well and do you know what else did? Your dad who just sat next to you and said, 'I've got your back, go for it.' That's life-changing money."
The moment the correct answer was confirmed, emotions ran high. Dave, overwhelmed with pride, assured his daughter that no matter the outcome, he would always support her. Meanwhile, Claudia, struggling to contain her excitement, described the achievement as "extraordinary" and "historic" for the show.
Fans at home were equally moved by the heartwarming bond between the pair. One viewer posted on social media: "Watching a father and daughter win £100k in six minutes is why I love game shows. What an absolute thrill!"
With an unforgettable display of quick thinking, trust, and pure determination, Dave and Emily didn’t just take home a life-changing sum — they left a lasting mark on One Question history.
