Alice Walker, 66, won grand final by six points with perfect score on her specialist subject, the Peak District
Alice Walker’s earliest childhood memories of the Peak District are of picnics, visits to stately homes and walks with her parents. Years later, Britain’s first national park holds new significance: it was her specialist subject as she became the oldest female winner of Mastermind.
The title came as a surprise to the career quizzer: “I don’t really think of myself as an older woman,” admitted Walker, now 67. “But I guess I am.”
