David Beckham on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

Sir Alex Ferguson is on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" and has reached the million pound question. Chris Tarrant says

"Right Sir Alex, 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 set? Is it,
a) a badger
b) a ferret
c) a mole or
d) a cuckoo?

Fergie ponders for a while and says, "No, I'm sorry Chris, I'm not too sure. I'll have to go 50-50."

Chris says "OK computer, take away two wrong answers and leave the one right answer and one wrong answer."

"Badger" and "cuckoo" are the two remaining choices.”

Fergie 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, Sir Alex?" says Chris.

"Hmmm..." ponders Fergie. "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 Sir Alex Ferguson here, and with your help he could win one million pounds. The next voice you hear will be Sir Alex's".

"Hello David" says Fergie. "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 Fergie.

"Definitely, boss. One hundred percent. It's a badger. Definitely."

"Right, Chris," says Fergie, "I'll go with David. The answer's a badger. Final answer."

"Sir Alex," says Chris, "that's the correct answer. You've won one million pounds!!"

Cue wild celebrations.

Next morning at training, Fergie 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 on earth 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."
