  • I guessed the TT, but then I didn't have a million quid riding on it. If you'll pardon the unintentioned pun.

    but who would actually know Isle of Man TT started 1904 and Indy 500 in 1907 ?

    way too close to have a guess at it


    I'd have guessed the TT but wouldn't have gambled that much on it. It would have been a toss up between the TT and Indy as I know the other 2 were much later.

    The first Indy was 1911 not 1907. The race is on my bucket list, would love to go out there for it one year.


    yeah sorry - 1907 and 1911 respectively
  • As motor bikes Being much cheaper and at the time faster, I guessed at the TT being the first.

    Millionaire question coming up after the break,go on matey...👍
    How unlucky was he? Me and the good lady wife 'guessed' it correctly but if I'd been in his shoes I too would certainly have taken the dosh.
    I was 90% sure it was the TT...but same,that 10% was to much of a gamble...well pleased for the fella..
    The problem is, if you are in that position (£500k) and the question is 'What is your middle name?' you might be tempted not to risk it :) I thought it was between the TT and Monaco. I think there were grand prix before F1 so it was a hard call. I doubt anybody was going to get a million with that question in there.

    A bit like the tennis question for a previous contestant - a complete lifeline eater.

    My logic too...also Isle of Man didn’t need a track to be built specially & didn’t think cars would last a 24hr race back then...

    Questions so much harder tonight by far.

    Last night they had the Tiger Roll question for 32k tonight it was rap artist number ones for 8k. Stitch up.

    But thats your knowledge surely

    Someone who doesn't know about horse racing but knows about music would have found the rap question easy and the Tiger Roll question hard

    Not having that. Did you watch the episode of questions she had compared to the last eipisode?

    No.

    But I watched Quiz and if its done in the same way as it used to be, the questions are randomly selected by a computer and locked in and no one sees what they are.

    I don't think they would make the questions easier just because someone won a high amount the day before

    I’m really disappointed that Dave (or whatever that bellend is called) wasn’t one of the answers.

    Okay Paulie.
  • Bit like when you used to go a fruit machine and the reels would spin really fast, you knew the prior to you had won big.

    I've worked in TV long enough to know you can't trust anyone in TV. I certainly wouldn't trust an ITV drama as if it was a documentary. Hell, I wouldn't even trust a documentary. 
  • There are questions that you think you would have a decent chance of getting past with enough lifelines even if you don't know the answer and life line eaters like the tennis one the other day. 
  • is it right that box c is the right answer more than any other box ? 
  • is it right that box c is the right answer more than any other box ? 
    Can I phone a friend...🤔
  • is it right that box c is the right answer more than any other box ? 
    If it isn't box C then it is probably one of the others even if that is by just one answer!
  • I heard that a group could gather round a high paying fruit machine, then using a bradawl put a hole in the perspex over each picture.
    You then play and fix the jackpot pictures in permanent position with a long pin or nail. Once you had your line set you play on without the spin until you empty the machine.
    That is of course criminal theft.
    I didn't hear it from Matt Southall.
  • Fella.just won the jackpot with 3 lifelines left.
    Strolled through it!

  • That was insane 
  • Didn’t even seem that fazed.

    I’d be attempting cartwheels across the studio floor.
  • That was amazing to watch back. I can comfortably say I'd have got 11 of the 15, but would have needed all the lifelines on the other 4.
  • It wasn’t that he knew the answers. It was how he knew so much about all the answers. 

    The Callaghan one is quite a common question but he also named the offices held by the other answers. 

    The years of Big Ben, Eiffel Tower etc 

    Amazing knowledge

    There was me thinking I was clever to have known the £500,000 question.


  • I reckon I have had that question at least 5 times over the years at various quiz nights 
  • He is obviously extremely knowledgeable but, as he says, the questions fell for him - he is a history and politics teacher who even taught piracy for a year. His brother, who previously won £500K on the show, teaches geography.

    The subject questions were:

    £32k - religion (used his 50/50)
    £64K - geography
    £125K - history
    £250K - nature
    £500K -  politics
    £1m - history (piracy)

    Seriously well done but he himself admitted that there were no trivia questions - I bet you had they asked him "who is the current manager of Charlton Athletic?" he and his "phone a friends" wouldn't have known the answer!!!

    So he and his brother got on the show. What are the chances eh?

    Almost like there was a way to hack the system... Maybe itv did a show on it?
