Tuesday
The name Tuesday derives from the Old English Tiwesdæg and literally means "Tiw's Day".
Tiw is the Old English form of the Proto-Germanic god *Tîwaz, or Týr in Old Norse.
Tîwaz derives from the Proto-Indo-European base *dei-, *deyā-, *dīdyā-, meaning 'to shine', whence comes also such words as "deity".
Tizwas
Tiswas [/ˈtɪzwɒz/; an acronym of "Today Is Saturday: Watch And Smile"]was a British children's television series that originally aired on Saturday (not Tuesday) mornings from 5 January 1974 to 3 April 1982, and was produced for the ITV network by ATV.

I watched a program about him a few years ago, and I remember it very well. The questions in the competition had four options, A-D. His wife in the audience searched the information with her mobile phone, and when he repeated the options, she - as you said - coughed giving the right choice. Fascinating.
@torunn saidAnother incident that befell Ingram was when he dramatically sliced off three of his toes in a garden lawnmower accident.
