V is for Mid-day Money

"For ?30,000 then Pete:
What is your mother's name?
I'm afraid I'll have to hurry you
That's how we play the game....
VERA?! Yes that's right again!
You are a clever chappy
And you're 30 thousand richer -
That you should make you nice and happy!
40 thousand coming up:
What colour is the sky?
No hang on a mo, that's much too hard -
Let's have another try...
Here we go, for 40 grand:
What shape is planet Earth?
A sphere you say?! Fantastic!
That's now 40 thou you're worth!
I'm sorry but we've no more time
Although I'll tell you what -
We'll give you 20 extra grand
On top of what you've got!
Well done Pete - he's such a star
He fought for every pound!
Tune in at 12 tomorrow
And we'll have another round...."
