Philippa Gregory on Celebrity Mastermind

Post by EC2 » Thu January 1st, 2009, 11:11 pm

Philippa Gregory has been putting her research on Elizabeth Woodeville to good use. Here she is using it to compete on Celebrity Mastermind. She makes her appearance about 6mins 40secs into the clip.

Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals
Kar ja li coard n’I chasront

'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Knickers - sorry about that. I gather Philippa won and will be going on to the next round. My mother had watched it and when we went to visit her today, asked if I'd seen it - which I hadn't. So I went hunting on the web this evening when I got back and found the url - which obviously doesn't work outside the UK!
