The Million Pound Questions Part 1 | Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? 

I got both answers right. I was 75% on Churchill and 99% on Marilyn. But would I have had the guts to play? Probably not. That's a HUUUUGE amount to lose.

I love how Jeremy calls his guests at the end like he used to do to his celebrity guests on Topgear: ladies and gentlemen RUPERT GRENT!

The second guys brother is on right now haha Edit: and he's just won a million

In the last days of the Chris Tarrant era, when they reduced the questions to 12, changed the amounts, rejigged the music and eventually added a timer, nobody on that version ever got past £250,000. Now they've brought it back to the classic format, and two people so far have faced the £1 million question.

"Somebody's just fainted" LMAO

I got excited when I realized that I would have known the Queen question, but then I just realized that I wouldn't have gotten that far ever in a million years

4:25 And 1 year later, his brother became the next uk million pound winner 👏

"Somebody's just fainted" 😂

And then 7 months later, His brother became the million proud winner.

Fun Fact: The four answers to the question were the same answers in the Fastest Finger First for the original UK Winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Judith Keppel.

These £1 million pound questions were pretty honest. They are more difficult to know than the £1 million pound questions in the early 2000s but they are not bullshit level of difficult like the last years of the Chris Tannant era. Someone who is into politics could know the first one and someone who knows the age of Queen Elizabeth (I assume most British people know this) and the year Marilyn Monroe was born (difficult but possible) could answer this.

Today we almost had our first millionaire via Jeremy, here he joins the 500k club, and also the club first created for Steve Devlin

I knew the milion question but probably I would not been able to answer all questions before that!

you know what? If I were sitting there and asked who born in the same year as queen, I'd answer Marilyn Monroe in a flash because I read that trivia on a tv show some years ago.

I was 100% sure in both answers but it's only easy when you know it

I didn't know they weren't able to google the answers in the phone-a-friend lifeline. Here in Brazil even the host asks if the person is in front of the computer before starting the clock lmao

I knew both those answers, but I would have probably got stuck on the £2,000 question as well

I would've called my dad to tell him that I'd win 1 Million Pounds, if I knew it was Marilyn Monroe, if which I did.

His brother actually won the Jackpot haha

When he mentioned the year I thought it was Marylin Monroe because I didn't know what year the queen was born. The first question I would have no idea on

So annoying when you see the million pound question and you know it immediately hahaa

That Queen Elizabeth II question, was leading towards Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe.

Here is a great host !

Yo I’m not even a Brit and I got the first one right. To be honest, I can’t say I really recognised all the other names but could recall bits of information on Churchill. He was involved in the war department prior to his premiership but not anything related to the foreign officer and based my choice on that. Not too bad eh.

Knew both of these lol. Get me on the show

Marylin Monroe years transverse 26-62 and I remember her in this way, I still would not have been able to answer the question because I would not have been certain of the Queen's birth year,so I would have had to take the money as well.

I literally learned that Marilyn Monroe question two days ago from an article on Facebook that said: "These things will mess with your perception of time", and it shows the Queen and Marilyn together. I wonder if the article was made after seeing this question, or if that's just a crazy coincidence that I'm now watching this on RU-vid and knowing the answer 😂

Actually, Churchill was PM immediately before AND after Attlee (1940 to 1945 and 1951 to 1955), then Eden was immediately after Churchill's second tenure (1955-1957).

funny watching this , I got the answer by knowing Jim Callaghan was the only man to hold all 4 great offices , tonight's £500000 question . I knew churchill had been chancellor ( Gold Standard ) & Home Sec ( Sydney St Seige , stamp set )

Oh wow

1 million pounds or 3 months worth of electricity..

Happy to have those first few silly questions wiped off this format. I fast forward through them anyway

Before the show with Phone a Friend will the contestant select a certain number of friends of whom one they might call during the show? Cause they say that one of the WWTBAM people are there with the friend they phone. So obviously means they prepared beforehand right?

Hello random person scrolling through the comments I hope you're having a great day

I was screaming Churchill. I'm no history buff nor know much about him, but how the hell do you not know that?

Got the second one right.

Im not from England or Europe, and only people from this question i know is Churchill and Monroe, so that would be my answers.

Has anyone won the million quid on this version?

It doesn't matter what you know, it only matters what you pretend to know. Fake it till you make it.

I always wondered if there was a member of staff present with the “phone a friend”.

Knew the Churchill one- not Monroe

I feel sorry for the second guy as it's a common pub quiz fact that Marilyn Monroe was born the same year as the Queen

I can't believe these people look brilliant and likeminded thats why they won that big amount

Honestly i knew eden served and i know a lot about churchill and he was first lord of the admiralty for most of his career - so i would have gambled on churchill for 125k but not for 500k thats too much of a risk

Both questions is the most famous of the 4

I would have won a million twice :D :D

the first one is my english teacher hahaha such a legend and nice guy happy for him even tho it was a while ago now

I knew the first, no idea on the second - but I did know Jimmy Savile was born in 1926, but I guess they wouldn't have put him as an option.

Anthony eden

Quiz show one o one...its always Churchill

The second question was extremely hard even intuitively. Only Julie Andrews is completely off, others have difference of a few years only. Good question for a million.

4:14

I wonder how much taxes came out of that half a million pounds?

I fucking knew it was Churchill! Not that I would have bet £500k on it!

I genuinely dont think I would care less if I didnt really not or wasnt 100% but would of won the 1mill if I went for it. I'd be too busy out celebrating I just won 500k.

There is a inside man , for million £ ,

100% on Marilyn Monroe as she was the same age as my gran. There we go. I'm off again now. cheers.

Are those questions carefully selected to be the million-pound question?

Churchill was easy, Monroe on the other hand... oof.

I’m American and I knew the right answer was Churchill to the first question.

That Churchill question has to be the easiest million pound question to date?
