They were the first champions who were not a family, the first champions who were all blokes and in the second round, the first team to win through a sudden-death tie-breaking round. In fact, the tie-breaking round had to be written whilst they waited, as the production team had never thought it would be needed. They remain one of the few teams to have never been defeated.

     It all started as a joke and they were never too serious about the competition. They would meet to revise on Sunday evenings and at the recordings tried to get on with the other teams. Teams that they defeated on the route to the final actually sent them good luck cards.

     With the final and it's over ten million viewers, (making them then some of the best known SF fans in the country), they appeared on both local TV news and Children's BBC. This, for those of you who can remember, pitted them against 'The Anorak', and on just before Neighbours.

     Some things they didn't manage though. They had hoped to get on to Style Challenge, as a couple of them were particularly badly dressed. They had wanted to go on QVC on a Star Trek sales special. They had also wanted to play the traditional Christmas special verses celebrities, but that was not to be.
