count of selected radio buttons in jquery

Viewed 34626

suppose I have groups of radio buttons like so:

<label><input type="radio" value="1" name="rdQueen" /> Scaramouche</label> <br />
<label><input type="radio" value="1" name="rdQueen" /> Will you do the</label> <br />
<label><input type="radio" value="1" name="rdQueen" /> Fandango</label> <br />

... sometime later in the page ...

<label><input type="radio" value="1" name="rdFruit" /> Mango</label> <br />
<label><input type="radio" value="1" name="rdFruit" /> Kiwi</label> <br />
<label><input type="radio" value="1" name="rdFruit" /> Potato</label> <br />

All I want to do is make sure atleast one of them from both group has been selected.. so I need to count the radiobuttons that have been checked, in this case it'll be 2.

Only, I am not sure how to do that. help please!
