that whittock bloke won the fastest finger after the major left and only won 1,000 with no coughing all the time he was on the hot seat.

btw..i reckon those three will bring a book out after their appeal if it fails telling their story, they will earn plenty

or the gutter murdoch press will serialise the story

I don't think they'll be allowed to publish a book, you can't profit from criminal activity.

Was it me or did they say at the end of the program they might be making a movie about this!!???

*FLASH* · 21 Apr 2003 at 22:53

flaws and what I would have done to avoid it:

1. coughed when there was no questions so that it looked like I had a genuine cough.

2.made up excuses as to why I knew the answer, such as with the Baron question he could have said maybe he was German but was in Paris during the war.

3.not have been married to such a retarded wife.

Would you risk losing around £430k on a guess !?!
If you don't know the answer 100% for sure it could be anything.

Was he thick or what? He was so dim, he couldn't even work a simple scam properly. I hope he ends up bankrupt.

What I said to my dad. I think he just forgot under the pressure. It did say they were making a film about it, lets just hope he doesnt get anything from that!

Isn't he also an insult to the forces? I mean, an army major should be capable of doing something like this properly, don't you agree?

Lol @ the irony of using Martin Bashir to present the show

Lol @ *cough* NO!! <blow nose>

Lol @ Chris Tarrant being too wrapped up in being Chris Tarrant to notice the coughing.

LOL @ them making a film out of it.

This has done more for millionaire's ratings than them having won the million legitimately! Celador must be elated!

Is the 'Major' still in the army ??

well said, i totally agree...

other than the 2nd one, where i dont know what your on about

NicktheNorse · 21 Apr 2003 at 23:23

well tonights show was truly entertaining - so obvious that they were cheating! Usually im shouting the answers at the tv - this time i was shouting abuse at them for their stupidity!

when CT said that he seemed a bit thick he was spot on - who would not notice what was going on. Im watching the uneddited version of the show on ITV2, and even now, without the "sound enhancements" the coughs are blatantly obvious.

these people deserve to burn!

PS: i recorded it - off of my nova-t (but its 1.9GB!)
