Watched an old one a few nights ago on the Challenge Channel.

A horse racing statistician was on there Happy

What some may consider 'hard' questions, are all pot luck.

You either know it or you don't. 

He sailed through to £500,000, I knew all his answers except two, an early-ish one and the £500k one.

But I knew the answer to the £1million question, and he didn't, but didn't want to guess either.

He phoned a friend, who wasn't sure. 

So he took the half million.

The final question was 'Oberon is a moon of which planet?'

Easy enough if you know that anything connected to the planet is named after characters from Shakespeare.

To be frank, I knew it was Neptune or Uranus, but given my fumble, I thought I'd try to cover my tracks.

Until I saw 'The Royle Family', I thought I was the only one who sang along to the theme music between questions
