Lynn didn't know, so first she used her 50:50, which took away the answer she would've guessed (Dig for Victory). She then decided to Ask the Audience, with the majority voting for C. She decided to go with the audience and won £32,000.

⬥ C: Kenneth Clarke
⬥ D: William Hague
Before the question, Lynn set her safety net. She ruled out B and C but didn't know. She had an inkling on D but wasn't sure enough so she decided to Ask the Host. Jeremy also thought it wasn't B or C but didn't know. Lynn then decided to phone her husband Ian who thought it was B but really wasn't sure. Lynn decided to go with what she thought and went for D: William Hague, but her husband was right. She lost £31,000.
Trivia[]
Likely because Lynn set her safety net at the 11th question and answered incorrectly, the Q10/Q15 final answer cue played, and the Q10 lose cue played when the correct answer was revealed.
