A Godmanchester woman became a Perfect Stranger on a new BBC television quiz show when she was filmed for the programme on Friday.
Norma Castel took part on the show in which teams of two meet just seconds before they are filmed answering a series of questions.
Eight contestants - all strangers - are paired up into four teams of two for knockout rounds of questions. The winners could go home with up to £24,000.
However, Norma and Joanne, the partner she had met only moments before, went home with nothing having only reached the semi-final.

The questions were general knowledge such as what was Elton John's original name?

Norma, 53, who has three grown-up children, said: "I went for the audition in London six weeks ago and the programme I will be in will go out at the end of this month or the beginning of November.
"We did well but we were beaten at the end.
"We had a brilliant time and, as I was going in, I saw Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) from EastEnders.
