Paddy is appearing on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
Chris: "Paddy you've done very well so far. You've got £64,000 and
one life line left - phone a friend. The next question will
give you £125,000 if you get it right but, if you get it
wrong, you'll will be out of the game and drop to £32,000.
Are you ready?"
Paddy: "For sure Chris, I am."
Chris: "On the screen is a photo of a current Manchester United
player as a baby. Which Manchester United player is it? Now
think about this carefully, Paddy, it's worth £125,000.
You're only three questions away from one million pounds."
Paddy: "I think I know who it is... er, but I'm not 100% sure... no
I'm sure it's Beckham, I'm sure it's Beckham... Can I phone a
friend, Chris, just to be sure?"
Chris: "Yes Paddy, who do you want to phone?"
Paddy: "I'll phone Murphy."
(ringing)
Murphy: "Hullo?"
Chris: "Hello Murphy, it's Chris Tarrant here from Who Wants to be a
Millionaire. I have Paddy O'Reilly here and he's doing really
well on £64,000 but needs your help to get to £125,000. This
is a visual question, we're faxing you the photo now. Have
you received it?"
Murphy: "Yes, Chris."
Chris: "The next voice you hear will be Paddy's. He'll explain the
question and you'll have 30 seconds to answer. Fire away
Paddy."
Paddy: "Hullo there, Murphy."
Murphy: "Hullo, Paddy."
Paddy: "Murphy, that photo is a baby picture of which current Man
United player. I'm sure it's Beckham, what do you think?"
Murphy: "It's never Beckham, it's obviously Smichael."
Paddy: "You think so, Murphy?"
Murphy: "I'm sure."
Paddy: "Thanks, Murphy."
(hangs up)
Chris: "Well, a difference of opinion there. Do you want to stick on
£64,000 or play on for £125,000, Paddy?"
Paddy: "I want to play, I'm so sure it's Beckham I'm going to go with
me first answer: Beckham."
Chris: "You're saying Beckham?"
Paddy: "I am."
Chris: "Are you confident?"
Paddy: "Yes... Fairly..."
Chris: "You have £64,000 and you saying Beckham. If you're right you
go up to £125,000 and if you're wrong you walk away with
£32,000. Is Beckham your final answer?"
Paddy: "It is, Chris."
Chris: "Paddy............ I'm afraid it was wrong, sorry Paddy. Here
is your cheque for £32,000. You've been a great contestant
and a real gambler. Audience, please put your hands together
for Paddy!"
(applause...)
Paddy: "Before I go Chris, what was the correct answer? It's killing
me."
Chris: "Andy Cole."
