A question about author Damon Runyon stumped mother-of-two Jo Everett, from Clifton Hampden near Abingdon, in her quest for a million pounds -- but she still walked away with £16,000.

On last night's Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, Ms Everett was unable to answer this question: Which of these names is most closely associated with the American author Runyon, author of Guys and Dolls?

Giles Haynes, of Bicester, later appeared on the same episode of the show. Viewers will tonight see accountant Mr Haynes continue with his attempt to win £1m.
