Fred Housego, the Cabbie who won Mastermind, was Angela Rippon's 'Phone a Friend' when she played celebrity 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'

The question she had to consult him on was 'When is St Crispin's Day?'

He said April. She went with that,and lost.







Fred Housego was born on October 25th.

Just heard a snippet of Non Nobis Domine on a radio and had to go and listen to the whole thing. The legend is that Henry V had this sung in recognition of God having fought on the side of the English at Agincourt.

With the King carrying a dead boy through the battlefield must be one of the most emotive war scenes ever.
