Contestant Dave Dupree is arguably one of the most intriguing contestants in the run, with many conflicting elements to his nature.
When introduced he appears nervous, furtively looking around, and has a cough during the show. Yet he's also one of the biggest jokers on the programme, offering many wisecracks throughout.
Another big contrast is that he's introduced as working for the Ministry of Defence. While his role could be low level or public-facing, it's unusual to see someone working for a naturally secretive organisation being publicly identified as such on a television quiz show.
