The man In black ( and white)...
Tonight’s show will be a throwback to the BBC of the 1940’s as I will be presenting in full dinner suit.
I am heading straight off to attend a charity fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care which is being held at Kelvingrove Museum. The event begins sharp at 7:30, so there’s no time to get out of my jeans and into the black tie after the show.
It’s a quiz night and I am hosting the geography round. It will bring back memories of hosting Passport Quiz on Scottish Television, which I did a few years ago.
Members of the public were quizzed on their travel knowledge and if they got enough questions right they won a holiday. The hard bit was getting the questions right.
“Name this island of the coast of Scotland?” I asked one girl.
“Er – is it Edinburgh?” was her reply.
Or what about the bloke who was asked to name the American city where Tom Hanks was sleepless. Sadly, the fact he answered “Forest Gump” meant he didin’t get the holiday!
Mind you, nothing can top the University Challenge contestant who was asked for Ghandi’s first name. His answer: “Goosey, Goosey”!
