Deserved to win for his knowledge and entertainment factor and even charisma

[@scottyk200]

Half a million back then was huge money. Still big money today but you couldn’t buy anything near the size of house now that you could back then.

he was lucky with his questions, could have easily lost everything early if there was contemporary stuff he didn't know

[@Gonken88]

Thank mass migration for that.

If you put 500,000 from 01 into an inflation calculator it's worth more than a million £ today

What A Guy!

if only he saved the 50/50 for the million pound question, maybe it would have left him with Yugoslavia and he would've won the million... Honestly such an easy question for 250 000 and 500 000 (yeah I know they're only easier if you know it, but hasn't everyone seen an Indian flag? and a capybara? even just by process of elimination, it's obviously not bigger than a Kangaroo so B falls out, definitely not bigger than a lion so C falls out, and it's not bigger than a gorilla so it can't be D either)
