Who wants to be a Millionaire?
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 �1 million. 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 sett?"
"Oh I didn't, boss..." replies Beckham,"... But everybody knows a cuckoo lives in a clock!"
