If he had said great grandad he could'v pulled it off.

@numbo655 5 лет назад

I'd say grandad is entirely plausible. In that case his dad and grandad had kids around the age of 40. I mean, that happens. Their wives could be alot younger.

@Girintina 5 лет назад

Their wives wouldn't even have to be a lot younger necessarily. It's entirely possible for women in their early 40s to give birth. My own grandmother was around 90 when I was 10, so having a granddad that's 100 at 18 isn't impossible.

@footballnerd277 5 лет назад

If he was born whilst his mum was 35 and his dad was 41. And the granddad was on his dads side, and his dad was born whilst his grandmother was 35 and granddad 41. That would be fairly reasonable whilst being enough to create the 82 year age gap necessary for him to be 18 whilst his granddad was 100.

@jackhadroom4540 5 лет назад

Charles Dance was 66 when his youngest daughter was born, and his father was 73 when he was born. Ergo her grandad (if he was still alive) would be 154 on her 18th birthday. Being an 18 year old with a centenarian grandfather is perfectly plausible.

@s.osullivan1193 5 лет назад

@john.premose 11 месяцев назад

Hardly. How could you possibly collect on that bet? Would the bookies still be in business in 82 years?

@Nethescurial95 9 лет назад

My grandfather was 100 years old when i turned 16 in 2011 (he was 47 when my dad was born), so i would say that Lee Mack's grandad being 100 when he was 18 is totally plausible.

@HitmanJulian 8 лет назад

Of course it's plausible, but it's unlikely.

@ycafe123 8 лет назад

+Chris R. Sandberg But I think these cases are definitely on the rare side and David's team questioned Lee to test his conviction in his own story.

@junbh2 8 лет назад

+ycafe123 If I look in my family tree and others I've seen they're quite common and unremarkable when you have large family sizes and some men ten years older than their wives.... But I guess the idea was to test him and see if he buckles under pressure - which he totally did.

@ycafe123 8 лет назад

junbh2 That might be true for large families. However, based on info from other episodes, its suggested that Lee is either a single child or perhaps have at most 1 sibling.

@mistertwy 8 лет назад

+Chris R. Sandberg absolutely, my grandfather died at age 97 when I was 11 and my mum had me at a normal age (32). But it sounds very unlikely on paper but when you do the maths it can happen more than people think. In today's culture there are grandparents in their 40's and sometimes even 30's.

@eleonorer.6503 9 лет назад

Lee always gets the lies that are really hard to get through with. But he wasn't too bad at defending himself...

@aprilblenk 8 лет назад

Normally, yes I'd agree that with that but honestly, I don't think this story would be that hard to lie about.. I mean, my pop did the same thing when he was roughly twenty five so it's not like it doesn't happen.

@pierzing.glint1sh76 8 лет назад

+ManSeaweed I thought that was extremely smart to come up with that on the spot haha but he could have just said his dad was a lot older than his mother when they married his dad would have to be like 25 years older than his mum lool

@ManSeaweed 8 лет назад

Pierzing.glint1sh7 You do understand that someone's step-something is a family member that is unrelated to them by blood, right? Why would he ever make that bet if it was his STEP grandfather? Then he wouldn't even have the genes of longevity!

@pierzing.glint1sh76 8 лет назад

+ManSeaweed i don't think it was about genetics it was just the sentiment of living to 100

@CANNIBoy 7 лет назад

Simple maths, his grandad had his dad at 47, his dad had him when he was 35, (35+47) + 18 = 100. Where was Rachael Riley on this episode?

@alephnull4044 5 лет назад

Having him at 47 is just a taaad weird.

@eolsunder 5 лет назад

yep lee panicked too much, the math was fine. 40+ isn't old to have a kid. My mother was married to someone 20+ years older than her, and men tend to marry women younger than them. If they were talking about his Mother it might be different, but as long as men aren't sterile, they can have kids easily when they are 40+. I know guys my age who have kids at 50.

Lee could have pulled that story off if he were better at maths. If Lee's grandfather were say 48 when he had his father and his father was 34 when he had Lee then his grandfather would have been 100 when he was 18. David Mitchell is great at this game.

My grandfather was born in 1913, and was 39 when my mother was born. I was born when she was 38. If he had lived, he would have been 100 the same year I turned 23, only 5 years off Lee's lie. It's an unlikely scenario but not impossible.

@andrewjarvinen9691 7 лет назад

my grandad was born in 1901, I was born in 1995. So its entirely possible to have a huge gap

@JackhammerJesus 8 лет назад

Betting on how long you are going to live? Isn't that basically what life insurances are for?

@Calvinosaur 7 лет назад

Life insurance pays out when you die. This would have paid out if he lived.

@JackhammerJesus 7 лет назад

Many pay out if you live long enough, for example after 10 or 20 years. Anyway it is a bet on someones life span. So the concept is not at all weird or uncommon.

@wfcyellow 7 лет назад

Betting on longevity is something all bookmakers will take small bets on. Lets say they have to pay out £500,000 on someone living to 100 - they will make around £1,000,000 in free advertising in news/radio reports of the bet when they pay out. Very clever marketing. Calvinosaur is right about the difference, because life insurance policies only pay out upon death, and bets like this (had it been true) only pay out when you are alive. The similarity is that both involve actuarial work to different degrees.

@cockoffgewgle4993 7 лет назад

"Many pay out if you live long enough". No, no they don't.

@commandert5 6 лет назад

I'm 18 and my grandmother is 97, I don't see what David's problem is.

@michaelcolbourn6719 3 года назад

It's not a problem. It's implausible or unlikely enough, given the usual ages one might have a child, that you would you would ask the question when trying to determine if someone is telling the truth, and it made him crack. If he could have quickly said, my grandad had my dad 47, and my dad had me at 35, so when I was 18 he was 100, it would have been and gone. But it made Lee crack, which is the point of cross examination.

@L-O-L-za 4 года назад

2:06 very good point but completely overlooked

@f1since08 5 лет назад

It's possible his Grandad was 100 when he was 18, if his Grandad had Dad at 42 and Dad had Lee at 40. My Dad was 45 when I was born so it's perfectly possible.

What would have made me say lie was the odds of 1000/1 no way a bookmaker would give you odds that high because in a group of 1000 people I'd be confident at least 10 would live to 100 years old so you would probably get odds of around 90/1 if such a bet existed

@kirihara147 4 года назад

Do you really think so many people live to a hundred? Imagine how many people you've seen/known/heard of in your life, and now try to think about how many of them were actually 100yo or older? There's 140mln people in Russia, and only 8200 are 100 or older. Sweden with their perfect living conditions, 10mln people and only 1600 people who are a hundred or older. That would make it 1 person out of 6250 people. Also you gotta take into account that not 100% of the people who lived long enough are going to get to the bookies. There are chances of them simply forgeting it, losing the ticket, or the bookie going bankrupt. All being said, I'd say the odds are quite fair.
