Dick appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 pounds.
You've done very well so far,' said Chris Tarrant, the show's presenter, 'but for a million pounds you've only got one lifeline left - phone a friend.
Everything is riding on this question......will you go for it?'
'Sure,' said Dick. 'I'll have a go!'
'Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?'
A: Sparrow
B: Thrush
C: Magpie
D: Cuckoo
I haven't got a clue,' said Dick, 'so I'll use me last lifeline and phone my fiance Dippy'.
Dick called up his fiance and told her the circumstances and repeated the question to her.
'Golly, Dick!' cried Dippy. 'That is ever so simple......it's a cuckoo.'
'Are you sure?'
'I am absolutely sure Dick my sweetheart.'
Dick hung up the phone and told Chris, 'I'll go with Cuckoo as my answer.'
'Is that your final answer?' asked Chris
'That it is, Sir.'
There was a long, long pause, then the presenter screamed, 'Cuckoo is the correct answer! Dick, you've won 1 million pounds!'
The next night, Dick got home very quickly as he flew first class on the train
'Tell me Dippy my sweetheart? How in Heaven's name did you know it was a Cuckoo that doesn't build it's own nest?
'Because he lives in a clock you DICK!!!
