    Given that the answer's Ludwig van Beethoven, I wouldn't bother spending the £1, mate. ;)
    Too late anyway, we picked the winner on the 9th...

    Just remembered the Monty Python sketch.

    "Ludwin my brother, you are my inspiration"
    "Come on brother Ludwig, don't make me laugh... Ha Ha Ha Haaaar"

    They get round the gambling laws by asking a terribly difficult question, eg:

    Who wrote Beethoven's 5th Symphony:
    a) Ludwin van Beethoven
    b) a pound of carrots
    c) Barwick-in-Elmet

    Reminds me of that famous round on 3-2-1...

    Ted Rogers: Classical music. Who wrote "The Messiah"?
    Couple: Er....
    TR: Come on, you know this. Mmmmmm Messiah?
    C: Yes! Yes! Handel's Messiah!!
    TR: So, who wrote it?
    C: Er, Beethoven?

    Unlike the "Family Fortunes" joke answers the above really happened and is often on clip shows. It's a classic ;)
    Can I help?
