Test the Nation: The National Quiz 2003 - The Results


Celebrity designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is painting the town red after winning on Test the Nation: The National Quiz, which transmitted live Saturday 6 September on 大象传媒 ONE.


Having gone into the show with no real designs on the top spot, Laurence had quipped: "I just want to prove I'm more intelligent than my spaniel."


In fact, he proved to be the cleverest of the celebrities, including runner-up Clarissa Dickson Wright and third place Josie d'Arby.


The other celebrities - Leslie Grantham, Darren Campbell, Sally Lindsay and Ed Byrne - took a step out of the limelight, scoring lower.


Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: "I'm quite embarrassed about winning as it's rather ungentlemanly to win, but I did also have to restrain myself from doing a lap of honour around the studio."


EastEnders' Leslie Grantham, who came in last out of the celebrities, said: "I did terrible. I think I should get back to the Queen Vic and do a few more pub quizzes."


In a first for 大象传媒 ONE's Test the Nation series, 25,000 people took part via text on their mobile phone.


Over 86,000 people took part in the test via the Internet, with 13-year-old George Alexander from Bristol scoring highest online.


From the six groups who made up the audience in the live studio the Examiners took top honours.


Sadly the Estate Agents went into negative equity, coming bottom out of the rest. They were beaten by Cabin Crew, Domestic Goddesses, Plumbers and Football Supporters.


The full results for the programme follow. The scores given represent average quiz quotients. Individual quiz quotients range from 70 to 145.
