Bradley noticed a funny details about graphic designer Drew's name, but missed what everyone at home was talking about.

"Graphic designer, and you're called Drew," laughed the host, pointing out it was an ironic name for his profession.

Drew admitted: "I've never heard that one before."

But viewers at home were too distracted by the line-up of the contestant names.

They pointed out Richard's name was commonly cut down to the nickname 'Dick', so standing by his co-contestant it wrote the famous detective's name, Dick Tracy.

And then the next two names spelt the name of teenage wonder detective and star of her own book series, Nancy Drew.
