Mark Labbett

[paulllambert]

Does anyone remember a quiz series shown on TV about (I would guess) five or six years ago. I think it was filmed over a number of weeks, and Mark Labbett (The Beast) was on it, and came across as a bit of a ****head. The prize was huge, £200,000 or so. It was won by a woman, who lived quite close to me in Haverhill.

These are his quiz appearances, any of them?

Labbett appeared on Mastermind in 1999, where his specialist subject was the Olympic Games.[7] He appeared again on Mastermind in 2000, with the animated television show The Simpsons as his specialist subject.[8]

In 2004 he won £500 on the Channel 5 show BrainTeaser, and a year later he won £1,500 on BBC One's SUDO-Q.[5] In 2005, he won £32,000 on Millionaire Live, a live version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? that toured seaside resorts throughout the summer.[5][9] A captain, he led the Welsh quiz team to fifth place in the 2006 European Quizzing Championships.[4] In 2007, he was ranked as the 17th top quizzer in the country.[4]

Labbett's team, the Rugby Boys, won BBC Four's Only Connect in 2009.[10] Other television appearances include The National Lottery People's Quiz (2007) where he came second in the grand final,[11] Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?,[12] where he won £32,000 and University Challenge.

From Wiki, but probably not what you're looking for.

I remember him on Peoples Quiz and he did come across as quite arrogant and unsporty, he was determined to make it "big" in the quiz world!!

Let's face it if he didn't put on that grumpy superior air then he would not have become the quiz star he has. Kevin from eggheads for example, probably as bright/brighter would be hopeless as a chaser, too unassuming and lacking in personality.

I love Mark Labbett
