Sven Goran Ericsson is on "Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire" and has reached the million pound
question. Chris Tarrant says "Right Sven, this is for
one million pounds, and remember, you still have two
lifelines left, so please take your time.'
Here's your question: What type of animal lives in a
sett?
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 Ericsson here, and with your help he could win
one million pounds. 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 sett? 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," says Chris, "That's the correct answer. You've
won one million pounds!!"
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 hell did you know that a badger
lives in a sett?"
"Oh I didn't, boss," replies Beckham, "But everybody
knows that a cuckoo lives in a clock."
