What was Prue Leith thinking about.She was asked which senior crew member survived the Titanic sinking.Given the four options she asked her nephew who didn’t but said he thought it wouldn’t be the Captain who survived.She then went,correctly,for 50/50 and lo and behold the Captain is given as one of the two alternatives left.If you’re going to have a guess happy days,she chose Captain Edward Smith.Come on,if you’re on £64,000 do you have a guess? However,if you have a guess do you go for the less likely option?I think it’s more likely £16,000 was the agreed sum for her charity.
Many, many, years ago I was really interested in the story of the Titanic and read everything I came across involving it. If my memory is correct I believe that an officer named Lightoller is the correct answer...And no, I didn't Google it.
