Mark Labbett
8 Answers
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.
