Robin Gibb's an embarrassing joke on Millionaire

By Roz Laws on May 5, 10 03:19 PM

Just how stupid is Robin Gibb? His dire performance on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? last night would be laughable, if he hadn't lost his charity thousands of pounds.

The Bee Gee joined DJ Mike Read in the quiz hot seat and looked uncomfortable from the off, perhaps realising his doleful lack of general knowledge was about to be exposed.

He got absolutely every question wrong, even the easy £500 starter. When asked which nationality put towels down to reserve sunbeds, he was going to go for Japanese!

He also had to be talked out of declaring that 'utility', 'toy' and 'working' applied to horses, not dogs.

At least Mike (sporting dodgy hair which didn't look a bit real) knew those answers, but then he began to show his ignorance too. He really had no reason to look so smug.

They had to ask the audience who SJP was, and even when told it was Sarah Jessica Parker they still looked bemused. They had to phone John Inverdale to find out who won last year's FA Cup - even though Mike admitted he'd watched the game.

John helped them to £10,000, at which point they seemed to lose their empty minds. They were given a music question, surely their bag, but they didn't know that Nick Baines and Simon Rix were members of Kaiser Chiefs.

Admittedly, neither did I, but I'd have still had several lifelines to use by this stage - and I haven't written several books about music, had millions of hits and worked as a DJ. Shame on you two for suddenly throwing almost all your winnings away on Keane!

"We still feel good," chirped Robin. Really? You should just feel embarrassed, matey.

Dear Roz Laws,

Don't you think this post is a bit vindictive? personally i think it is very unnecessary. All my family are massive Robin Gibb fans and we support everything he does. All he was trying to do was raise money for charity and raise awareness! don't you think what he is trying to do is good? Also the questions they were asked were absolutely ridiculous! i think its an outrage and what you have written is disrespectful, they are both good men and deserve better than a mouth full from a 'know-it-all' reporter.

It's absolutely ridiculous to insist that "general knowledge" includes knowing things like "which nationality put towels down to reserve sunbeds" or "who won the last FA cup"!!!

Do ya think that Robin Gibb have ever had the chance to fight for a sunbed? :)

You may hate Robin Gibb as much as you like, but your comments are simply nonsense.
