Sven-Goran
Eriksson is on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' and has reached the £1
million question.
Chris Tarrant says, "Right Sven, this is for £1 million, and remember, you still have two lifelines left, so please take your time. "Here's your question: What type of animal lives in a Set? Is it - a) a badger b) a ferret c) a mole or d) a cuckoo?" Sven ponders for a while and says, "No, I'm sorry Chris, I'm not too sure. I'll have to go 50-50." "Right, Sven, let's take away two wrong answers and see what you're left with. 'Badger' and 'Cuckoo' are the two remaining answers." Sven has a long think, then scratches his head and says, "No, Chris, I'm still not sure, I'm going to have to phone a friend." So who are you going to call, Sven?" says Chris. "Hmmm, I think I'll call David Beckham." So Tarrant phones David Beckham. "David, this is Chris Tarrant from 'Who wants to be a Millionaire. I’ve got Sven-Goran Eriksson here, and with your help he could win £1million. The next voice you hear will be Sven's." "Hello David" says Sven. "It's the boss here. What type of animal lives in a set? Is it a badger or a cuckoo?" "It's a badger, boss." says Becks without hesitation. "You sure, son?" says Sven. "Definitely, boss. One hundred percent. It's a badger. Definitely." "Right, Chris," says Sven, "I'll go with David. The answer's a badger. "Final answer, Sven?" "Final answer, Chris." "That's the correct answer. You've won £1 million!" Cue wild celebrations. Next morning at training, Sven calls Beckham across. "Son, that was brilliant last night. I thought I might be taking a gamble giving you a call, but you played a blinder! But how the heck did you know that a badger lives in a set?" "Oh I didn't, boss..." replies Beckham, “….but everybody knows a cuckoo lives in a clock!" |
