A retired detective from Fife showcased her music knowledge on the hit Channel 4 quiz show PopMaster TV.

Jill, from Kirkcaldy, was one of five contestants competing for the show’s coveted silver disc on Thursday.

The show is adapted from the legendary PopMaster radio quiz, which originally aired on BBC Radio 2 for more than two decades before moving to Greatest Hits Radio.

Contestants face six rounds of music questions from host Ken Bruce, with the person with the fewest points dropping out after each round.

However, the Fifer’s luck finally ran out in the final round as she was narrowly beaten, despite answering questions on Rod Stewart and 80s pop duo Tears For Fears correctly.

The episode was broadcast on Channel 4 on Thursday and is available to watch now online.
