Synopsis

Marcia Poole not only shares her home in Wilmslow with co-librarian Beryl Gardiner-Railton but they are equally passionate about the game Trivial Pursuit and they soon realise they can make money – lots of money – by playing it their own way with a few gentlemen friends!

It isn’t long before the intrepid pair have a queue of callers knocking on the door and anxious to get an invitation from the ladies to supper to try their luck pitting their knowledge against them but however hard they try, their wallets gradually become lighter!

How do they do it?

Meanwhile, two of their ‘guests’ are not exactly what they seem to be. One claims to have a passion for tree hugging when in reality he is a retired police detective, and the other one attempts to pass himself off as a professional gambler when, in fact, he’s a criminal who tries to convince the ladies that by widening the scope of their operation they could all become very wealthy! However, he must first get the policeman on his side.
