A large number of players had been successful in making it through to the final question after proving that they more than knew their stuff when it came to answering the tough puzzles.
But their confidence was short-lived when nine of them failed to correctly answer the all-important final question.
Host Lee Mack read aloud the question and confirmed that the prize pot stood at a cool £95,000.
It meant the players were able to split it 11 ways should they get it correct.
Lee said to them: “What letter replaces the question mark in this sequence?”
The following letters were then presented to the players: “YYHLY?YTRRRR”.
30 seconds were then whacked on the clock as they attempted to arrive at the right answer.
With time up, Lee then asked each of the players to confirm which letter they had picked.
The answers they gave, were: “H, T, E, T, R, H, N, E, L, Y, T.”
It left Lee remarking: “There’s quite a lot of different answers there so someone might win big tonight.”
Lee then confirmed that the correct answer was “E” and revealed that the sequence was the last letter of the 12 months of the year.
As such, the two players who answered correct won a share of the £95,000 pot.
Joe Clark and Liz Casey each walked away with £47,500 having beaten off the competition.
