Are you sure? There‘s a lot of money at stake..

[@rightaboutmostthings4728]

Brilliant first question. Always wondered that. Said show was on 9th & 10th September 2001.

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

I think if he had stopped at like 250k, he probably would've gotten away with it!

[@jamesheath7601]

Maybe

[@NieceyWeesey]

Greed

[@tosspot1305]

Apparently that's what him and his wife were arguing about afterwards in their dressing room

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

@@tosspot1305 Oh yeah, makes sense!

[@nathandrake9129]

250k is still to much, I think the only way to get away with it would be leave at 64k

[@newsbender]

Tarrant looks like Jon Pertwee now.

[@markdaly1648]

Tarrant the tyrant

Brigadier, here is your next question for £500,000.

[@josephwright6154]

Ingram didn't know he was going to get the million pound, he hoped the cougher fella knew the answer. The cougher didn't know the Craig David answer and he only won a grand himself when he was in the hot seat

[@shanet5604]

Will you stop,he’s so guilty it’s laughable,watch him on the final question being all giddy with the 500k cheque,his idiotic personality told itself !

[@DynamicMateTV]

Lovely man

[@nenee-wi4ph]

Please bring the show back please and i need it 😢😢😢😢😮

[@Alanjelvis]

I heard Chris Tarrant say “we stopped the cheque” why? Because he doesn’t deserve it.

[@BogusOp]

i think tarrant suspected he was cheating because at every question he kept mentioning about him suddenly changing his mind and his answer

[@halfway2334]

He never noticed or suspected anything he has often said

[@MrRogers1219]

watch the documentary. He said repeatedly that he didn't suspect anything because he's so involved with hosting the show.

[@CzechMirco]

When the 500k question was revealed and major Fraud said "Well, I'm not sure" Tarrant said: "Major, you haven't been sure of anything since the question 2!". He clearly considered him a combination of mad and sus.

[@sscprep3861]

No he never suspected anything, There's a doc just months after all this happened in 2001

[@shanet5604]

No,no he didn’t…

[@nenee-wi4ph]

who to be a millionaire is my favorite

[@ninjapirate123]

If he collect his money at 250k it would've been less sus

[@delboy9234]

True, but people get greedy.

[@tristanthomas5006]

He's innocent up until about £8,000. The rest of the questions he's guilty as anything.

[@antanuuuu]

He got a debt of 50,000, and he still needs to pay the guy who helped him, so little money is left of him if he goes for 250

[@riverstyx928]

​@@antanuuuu better than getting humiliated in front of all of the world.

I'm sad that you didn't bring the show back😅😅

[@Amanuel-hv4hu]

Not in the age of ChatGPT 😂

[@chloeallibon5884]

Why didn't the guy just cough when Tarrant read the question though? Why was there any need for Ingram to keep repeating all the answers because that's what gave them away, the weird way he was talking and reading the questions over and over. I don't understand why he needed to do that when the guy could have just coughed as it was read to start with.

[@NieceyWeesey]

Because the guy still needed time to think about the answer first, unless he has a super speedy brain

[@TkinGeneral1996]

It was the code that Charles had because if he read out the answers then he would know what one to go for, if Whittock coughed after Tarrant read out the answers it would become a bit difficult. At least woth Charles reading out the answers it would make it obvious to him what the answer was.

[@nenee-wi4ph]

Why is it not on i ney more can you tell me why its not on i ney more😮

[@snookerstones]

Right before Covid this

[@TYNEPUNK]

how did he know he was goign to get the 500k question right? no way.. also is teckwin whittock some sort of all knowing god, how does every know for a fact he knows it. i wanna see him on the show. whittock the all knowing legend.

[@KeiraChalmers-c4s]

In the documentary teckwin asks the people next to him the right answers to the questions

[@rhettorical]

He did get on and he failed horribly

[@TkinGeneral1996]

Charles didn't. He thought it was Berlin, but Whittock had to bring him down to earth with a cough and a No. The Documentary will show that process

Yea well, you risk your life, other peoples life and childrens lives by drink driving Chris, even after being caught and pleading guilty to it. So ya know, everyones got something bad about them, at least what these people did never put everybody at risk of being killed by such a low act.

[@arianagrandefan934]

Unfair thar the show only isolated the tecwen coughs. Other coughs were there too. But they didn't put that in. It was defo one sided and made for the public to believe they're guilty. I do think they're guilty. But the show was one sided and the isolating was unfair imo.

[@Squant]

They'd already been found guilty, so there's nothing to question. It was isolated so we could hear what they were listening for, not for us to make a judgement.

[@TkinGeneral1996]

If you believe that he is guilty, then why go through the process of isolating every single cough that occurred on that show. We knew the people involved colluded with each other, and it was Whittock doing the coughing so they would only isolate his coughs.

[@nenee-wi4ph]

can you read billing it please and thank you its 2024 just no that 😅

[@purplebean8989]

The episode never made it to TV though.....

[@purplebean8989]

@@vitorino773 No. Because it was being investigated by the fraud office. The documentary about it didn't come out until a few years later.

[@TkinGeneral1996]

So you believe that the most watched and the most successful quiz show in the world needed more audience by tarnishing the reputation and integrity of everyone involved in the making of the show by doing a staged scandal? Come on, get real.

[@TkinGeneral1996]

Dude, it's commiting fraud live on national prime-time TV in Britain to where you have basically stolen a million pounds. If someone stole a million pounds of your money through a scam, I'd think, with all logic and sense that you would involve the police.
