He was last to face the chaser Paul ‘Sinnerman’ Sinha after his teammates bagged their places in the final chase.

Roy then had to face a series of quick-fire questions in the cash builder round, in just one minute.

But he left Bradley shocked when he started talking about the answer to a question despite time running out.

After being asked when the World War Two blackout ended, Roy said: “The blackout… that would have been about 19… not until 1946.”

But the quiz host had to correct him, telling him the right answer of 1945.

At the end of the minute Roy had five correct answers, amassing £5,000.

Bradley told Roy: “Five grand isn’t bad, but we’d have much more if you hadn’t stopped for a conversation in the middle of it”

And Bradley quipped: “Five grand isn’t bad, but we’d have much more if you hadn’t stopped for a conversation in the middle of it.”

But despite being teased, Roy then had a storming round when he went head to head with Sinnerman, and brought back £83,000 for his team.

And viewers on social media couldn’t help but root for the veteran actor.
