Watched an old one a few nights ago on the Challenge Channel.
A horse racing statistician was on there
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.

Only kidding. It's actually Uranus. Or Jupiter. Or Earth?

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
