Derek Batey

Batey also hosted Try for Ten, another game show produced by Border in Carlisle. Contestants on the show tried to give ten consecutive correct True or False answers to a series of statements. Contestants were eliminated if they gave three wrong answers in a row, or a total of ten wrong answers. If the game ended early, they won £1 per answer for their best run of correct responses. If they reached their target of ten, they won a rolling jackpot that increased by £25 per failure. ==Later work==

In 2006, it was confirmed that Batey would be working as a consultant (including writing some of the questions) on the latest version of Mr. and Mrs. on ITV1. ==Personal life==

Batey resided in Florida with his wife, Edith, to whom he was married for 62 years, and had one daughter, Diane. He died in a hospice in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire after a short illness, aged 84. ==References==
