26:48I'm feeling very relieved, shocked, surprised, very, very happy, because I've been studying for quite a while, so it's, yeah,
26:54it's just very happy to be through to the next round.
26:57And your specialist subject?
26:58Catherine Parr.
26:59I've always liked Catherine Parr because she's the last wife, a little bit overlooked, but she was a very clever
27:04woman in her own right, and she wasn't just a survivor or a nursemaid.

27:21You got them all right.
27:2212 points.
27:23I was quite surprised that I got all of them right on Catherine Parr.
27:26You can try and question spot as much as you like, but there's always something that might come up that
27:30you don't know,
27:30so I was just so happy that everything that I'd seem to have read about came up on my answers,
27:36so very, very happy.
27:37Diana, you start with 12 points.

27:49didn't really know if I'd won or not, so it was a great relief when I'd won.
