Aberdeen father-and-daughter duo win £3.5k on BBC music quiz show The Hit List
Football coach Aimee Culley and dad Mark appeared on The Hit List on Saturday night.
The programme, hosted by singers Rochelle and Marvin Humes, sees contestants name as many hit songs as they can to win up to £10,000.
The pair were up against Joel and Caitlin from Coventry and Sam and Hannah from Felixstowe.
In the first round, the players had to name hits from the past five decades by identifying the songs from a brief clip.
Former footballer Aimee, who works for Montrose Women, and Mark successfully named three out of five songs.
Then, teams were asked to guess songs that had won Brit Awards and were given the chance to guess another song to win a bonus point.
It was easy work for Mark and Aimee, who identified songs by Pink, Eurythmics and Cliff Richard, as well as three bonus tracks.
Aimee correctly named Lewis Capaldi's Grace to reach 10 points, meaning Sam and Hannah were eliminated.
Next, the duo went head-to-head with Joe and Caitlin.
With 45 seconds on the clock and three skip options, contestants were given a clue and the start of a track.
They had to name songs as quickly as possible.
Aimee and her dad stormed ahead in this round, successfully identifying songs by artists including The Beach Boys, Nelly Furtado and Charli XCX.
They had 22 seconds and two skips left when Joe and Caitlin were knocked out.
That left Aimee and Mark to take on the final round and play for £10,000 by naming 10 songs and artists.
The more time they took, the less money they would end up with.
It was a rocky start, with the money dropping to £9,310 before they guessed Christina Aguilera's Candyman.
There was a tense moment as Aimee and Mark had to skip six songs they did not know as the clock ran down, finally identifying Facination by Alphabeat at the £4,562 mark.
The pair finished strongly, only skipping two more songs before Aimee named Only Love Can Hurt Like This by Paloma Faith to secure £3,598, which she said would help her celebrate her birthday.
Montrose FC Women congratulated the duo on Facebook, saying: 'The pair absolutely smashed it, walking away with a great win.
'Looks like that big birthday party invite is definitely in the post now.
'Well done Team Culley!'

A heartwarming tale of two families living under one roof
Kate, Allie, and the '86 Mets star Kate Barry on the retro 1980s phone as used in the Fringe show's poster on St Andrew Street, Edinburgh. Picture: Graham Clark During lockdown a guilty pleasure was going to bed listening to Radio 4's Moth Hour. It began on US public radio, solo storytelling to a live audience.

Kate's tale opens at their Long Island home where the family, including her recently divorced mother Grace, is watching their underdog New York Mets team win the World Series in 1986. They're joined by Grace's bestie Dorothy, also recently sans-husband, and her young family who've been made homeless by Hurricane Gloria. All the kids get on riotously. The awesome time they all have together leads to summer camps, and Grace and Dorothy's social life blossoms around a local bridge club. The two single moms realise they all get on so well in Long Island that they propose building another storey on the house to live together, to save money. When one of the kids complains there's no pool – the moms agree: they'll build one!

She's in tears and sees a therapist who looks for clues to her feelings in the family setup. When Kate assures the woman it's just like the hit-TV show Kate & Allie – two friends who share a home with their two families for money reasons – the counsellor points out that one of the TV women eventually leaves to set up home with a new man. Kate blinks, and the thought is left hanging. a All through the show I couldn't decide if the story was fiction (authentic family photos and memorabilia are handed round the audience). When the lights came up, Grace stood up smiling in the audience. Or was she?… Barry's deadpan delivery felt ominous and I kept waiting for some catastrophe to hit, but when it comes, the Big Reveal is anything but a catastrophe. Kate, Allie and the '86 Mets is yet another source of joy in a worrying world.

Antiques Roadshow guest bites lip at impressive value for 'one-off' signed Vinnie Jones photo
An Antiques Roadshow guest shared a 'one-off' photograph of footballer Vinnie Jones and Newcastle United star Paul Gascoigne. WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Antiques Roadshow. An Antiques Roadshow guest and former referee quipped he would have booked Vinnie Jones for "ungentlemanly conduct" after revealing a "one-off" football photograph. The BBC daytime programme visited Wollaton Hall where expert Raj Bisram encountered a guest eager to display a memorable image from the football world. The autographed black and white snap featured Wimbledon player Vinnie Jones grasping Newcastle United legend Paul Gascoigne's testicles during a 1988 fixture. "What an iconic photograph you've brought in," the Roadshow expert declared. The guest revealed: "I was the referee at that match. It was on my birthday, funnily enough. "And it was a first division match between Wimble don and Newcastle United." The guest then admitted: "I have to admit, I did not see that incident." Bisram observed: "I mean, if you had seen that incident, obviously, you would have booked Vinnie Jones? For what?". The visitor chuckled in reply: "Well I suppose it would be for ungentlemanly conduct." He added: "Monty Fresco of the Daily Mirror took that fantastic photograph. "When I retired from work, my colleagues, unbeknown to me, got Jones and Gascoigne to sign it for me." In the left-hand corner, Jones simply wrote to the guest "Be good", while Gascoigne jokingly penned: "Thanks to you, I have lost my family allowance." Wrapping up the appraisal, Bisram revealed: "I guess if you was to put this on the market today, I would be estimating it would be for between £1,000 and £3,000." The guest was left speechless, his jaw dropping at the staggering figures as he bit his lip in anticipation. Bisram added: "I mean, it could go anywhere because it's a one-off. This is one of the most famous photographs of football in history. Thanks for bringing it in."
