Bloke just won half a million......half a million on a telly quiz!!!!!! It’s enough to make you punch Clarkson 🤪🤪
Be a millionaire, it looks like who wants to bed a millionaire? Every bugger I s’pose😂
What was the last question?
Which politician had never been foreign secretary? Churchill, Eden, MacMillan or Douglas-Home?Quote:

Same here. I have no idea what the other questions were and I probably wouldn't have won a grand, but that wasn't too difficult.Quote:

And I include myself in this, but I wouldn't have gambled on the £1m question when it mattered, even though having read the question in this thread and felt confident in the answer, without total confidence, I would have taken the money.Quote:

When he was talking through the question with Clarkson he dismissed the correct answer straightaway and his subsequent ramblings proved he knew little about 20th century politicians. I wonder if they are encouraged to string it out in this fashion before saying I don’t know on the basis that it makes better television. For me it just drags it out.
Boers should have shot him when they had the chance
I've won 3 times on Trans-Atlantic flights but that tight git Branson won't hand over the cash!
[QUOTE=Enoch Mort;4956442]Eggheads is by far the worst for stringing out answers. It's not sufficient to just say the right answer straight away, even if you 100% know the answer. You still have to give lengthy reasons why the other options are wrong.Quote:

The final question was fairly easy, you only needed to have a little bit of knowledge about the things Churchill has done to see he was never foriegn secretary. The problem would be, do you trust your instincts when all that money is at stake.Quote:

The cynic in me, is convinced the first contestant was a plant !!!!Quote:

To convenient for my liking
Nah, the gambling laws are incredibly strict. TV shows can't even think about trying that kind of thing any more.Quote:

When Judith Keppel, now of Eggheads fame, won the first £1m on British TV, her final question was 'Which King was Eleanor of Aquitaine married to ?". Wives of English Kings is meat and drink to regular quizzers and Eleanor of Aquitaine is one of the more famous. She didn't have to think about it to get it right. I remember thinking at the time that they were, in effect, giving the prize away.Quote:
