Taxi driver Fred Housego - a former Mastermind winner and This Is Your Life subject - helped Michael spring the surprise on the BBC quiz show presenter at the London home of the Icelandic Ambassador. Magnus had just announced his retirement from fronting the show - famous for its imposing black chair and theme tune - a job he had done since 1972.
