Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? | All Million Pound Questions 

Keith and Matthew Strachan. I wholeheartedly agree. It's the greatest music in gameshow history. Damn shame it's not on Spotify.

@@DanTheStripe it’s on Spotify now

There is non in the questions to £100-£1,000

Sorry to disagree. The best game show sound is Jeopardy (Thinking melody). It is very catchy and fun.

No not really it’s boring

Why?

Andi Ramadhan Hadiputra because he cheated he went over every answer and somebody who he knew clever coughed in the audience search up who wants to be millionaire fraud

Cric star He conspired with his wife and another contestant and they were the ones who coughed. You didn’t ask I just... yeah.

didn't go jail

The girl participated in Who Wants To Lose A Millionaire.

He’s dead??!! This actually makes me a lot sadder than I thought I would be. May he rest in peace 😢

Liar. He's still alive I'm his brother.

@@angryangelant9519 Is that some sick joke at my sadly missed father ?

I can say the same thing. My father knew the answer to every question but he never had the courage to attend. This was an entertaining show. Too bad it's not on anymore, not in Hungary or Romania atleast.

@@Mark64W when did he die? I remember he was talking to someone who asked me if I could help him get into contact with Chris about 2-3 years ago (I had just started on a radio station made of people who used to be on Capital FM with him)

Correct I watched that documentary about that lol

the show must love it when that happens - they just aired 2 episodes without giving the guy any money, the scandal made the show more popular and they get to sue him for even more money, even if they knew he was cheating they waited for the episode to be aired before they "find out" officially

No it was a faster finger contestant doing the coughing.

How did he know which cough was what though? I hear one cough, then two coughs: three coughs. They are all different each time?

They made a tv show on this scandal a couple of years ago starring Michael Sheen as Chris Tarrant. It’s called Quiz.

I heard that story too.

Not really, as they got caught cheating.

@@kimbirch1202the comment was sarcastic…

He was one cool customer. Too bad they cheated him of his winnings because the techman coughed.

audiences are cued (i.e. there is a huge sign they can all see that says things like 'quiet', 'silence', 'applause', 'laughter', 'free')

@@Lee-wg7en ,'cough'

@@morbidsearch Nice reference

The US version of all British TV shows are awful. Their version of the chase is super cringe

@@Lee-wg7en Free? Meaning what?

Always think the fist few are harder than the last ones

So true! The hard part is answering 15 *consecutive* questions correctly. You may know the million pound answer, but it's no use if you don't know some of the 14 other answers along the way. That's what people forget. You may get lucky with your lifelines, and you might not. That's not taking into account monetary pressures and the pressure of being in a studio too, which can sway you as well. It's real money and real life.

Sometimes watching these I couldn't even answer the first or second question because they refer to a saying or something that I could not possibly know as a non-native english speaker.

Sometimes it is knowing what isn't the answer. for instance I knew Ohm was a German so I would have been confident with Volt as an answer.

I knew the one from Charles Ingram because I read it in a book but ll the other I had no idea. I was like the phone a friend used on the Oberon question.

🥱🥱🥱 she was already rich and could take the chance

@@baz810 Not really such a chance - I knew the answer and I'm neither a historian or a quizzer - she was a very famous lady...

@@tullochgorum6323 yes exactly what i am thinking, tis was really a one million question?

@@Kira-no666 if you don’t know English history I could where it would be tough to get it under pressure. Pretty straight forward if you do though. I was sitting here going “nope” “yep” “that’s her son” “nope again”

@@baz810 A million pounds is a million pounds, to lose that would be a hell of a loss to anyone

Do you have any idea where he got all of his knowledge from? Like did he read a lot? Or did he just kinda know stuff?

@user-sd4uj7yx5z he is a highly intelligent man. That's why he is a millionaire. He said that he knew nothing about TV soaps, etc, and he had to study them for months on the lead up to the show.

@@hohohohehehe6910so he was able to learn most of the stuff in only a few months? Impressive

@@user-sd4uj7yx5z well, the TV stuff.

333444444444444444444444456

Yessss omg

He did not said that

Would’ve been funny

I actually liked what he said better

🤣

His cheque was cancelled. Why? Because he doesn’t deserve it!!!

His last question was so easy too, the fucking donkey.

Bold. Somehow the plant in the audience knew. Maybe an earpiece?

It's the original, actually.

kckcmctcrc best

We did fantastic to have 5 people win the £1 million. I still remember watching Judith Keppel's win on tv :)

Betyer 2k2 are you Russian soviet

Yeah shame he's not hosting the show anymore :(

Oh he was as thick as shit, DarkBreloom. With 5 ´A´ levels, 2 Degrees and a membership of Mensa.

To be fair, it's easy now because EVERYONE and their mother has heard of Google and probably heard where that name comes from. When Ingram's episode was recorded in 2001, Google wasn't as big as it was now so probably not as many people would've known was a googol was.

it was easy as hell for me because megatron is a transformer villain, gigabite is known from computer storage, nano d googol was the only ones to choose between and even then nano is just a prefix in a part of so it was easy to figure out either way, but i guess it was much harder at the time they asked the question due to low access to such information

a mol is 1.022 x 10^26 atoms, a bit is computer storage, and megatron???/ lol

I agree - I had to Google it

“He went for Googol mainly because he never heard of it but he has heard of the other three.” 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Weird, isn't it? Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but the way he was muttering and stalling for time felt exactly like something you'd do if you were lying or concealing something. The way he pretends to be convinced it was a nanomole, then changes his mind so quickly is priceless.

Funnily enough googol was the only one I genuinely knew the answer to at the time…I wouldn’t have known any of these!

@@666Etnies666 I think I would have thought it was a googel despite not having heard of it purely because a nano something is usually 10^-9 a mega is 10^6 and a giga is 10^9. It’s hilarious that he said he thought it was a nanomol which is like the farthest away from being right

@@Drenwickification I only knew because I read that the guys who started google meant to googol but spelled it wrong. Ingram was an idiot, nothing subtle about his ‘process of elimination’ 😅

That shows you're a nice human.

Judith Keppel is a sweetheart.

Especially Major Inghram

lol. he was close tho haha@@nadirkhan2250

Regis is the best TV host ever, may he RIP ;__; but Tarrant is absolutely up there too.

NGL, Regis is terrible in comparison.

A bullet can't stop the bull moose. TR will give WC THE full deuce

"Whatever sh*t you throw at me, I'll just return to sender. I will battle to the end and I will never surrender!"

DarkBreloom it is from epic rap battles of history. Churchill vs theodore roosevelt.

I guessed Bull Moose as it sounded more appropriate to America than elephant, dog or frog.

He did the right thing though. If you don't know for sure it's not worth the risk

For Charles Ingram his cheque was cancelled. Why? Because he doesn’t deserve it!

Cheating scumbag

Meanwhile Robert Brydges got the most casual way of getting it. 😂

I remember knowing the Chester le Street answer but struggled with the others.

Wasn't all the coughing coming from his collaborator? The first cough happened after he said Googol, then it just kept going as long as he didn't say another answer.

He was already a millionaire before the show. He got greedy and ended up doing jail time

That's why this show is so exciting because it was tense for these people to go for a Million Pounds, Million Dollars in the U.S.

I think in the original airings, Judith Keppel and Ingram Wilcox’s games had the commercial break after they gave their final answers

@@AaronTheCrystalClod Robert Brydges as well.

It's funny, but the highest converted jackpot of any WWTBAM ever, other than the Super and Rollover specials in the US, was in IRELAND, pre-euro. RTÉ has never been as well managed as Swedish TV like SVT, so how that got insured, I've never understood. (Punt > Sterling at the time.)

Jeremy Clarkson does it now.

The German host has already given the answer to innumerable female contestants. Though obviously not at a million Euros. He talks too much.

@@Erebos931 With Günther Jauch (the German host), it's always clear if he likes a contestant or not. He rarely points towards the right answer but he often tries to stop people from making a mistake when he likes them. If he doesn't though he'll gladly log in the most idiotic answer to the 100€ question without even asking them if they're sure.

he's Australian

@@stigkrakpants3052 Who is?

I'm sure we all did, until we started watching her on Eggheads... and realised that she knows absolutely nothing, about anything.

​@@ullswater6 Then how was she that lucky?

@@ninab.4540 Just that the right questions came up for her... by coincidence. She was very lucky in that respect. She's now been on Eggheads for years, and she is nearly always the Egghead that gets knocked out - meaning we have to see a giant image of her every day on the background screen during the final round.

It's also the easiest final question out of them all! That cheating was so blatant, they got what they deserved in the end.

First he said nanomol,then was certain it was googol eventhough he never heard that word! And he and wife never looked up,and sad after loss. Price for cheating

Hahaha, yes indeed. I was like: “oh, come on! I already knew that when I was twelve years old!”

They planned to stop at 125k right? If they had done that, they probably would have got away with it (though I can’t remember how blatant the cheating was before that stage).

He goes from “it’s nanomole not googol, I have no idea what that word is.” To “it’s definitely googol.” The guy’s a tool.

Omg the coughs were so blatantly obvious! Plus it was so weird the way he would suddenly change his answer to something that he had previously completely eliminated.

@@georgexanthopoulos3003 If I remember right, the footage is from the documentary where the audience is amplified a bit, but yeah you would think that the audience members around the ones coughing would catch on. And to be fair, the crew for the show were very suspicious of the coughing after 32k or something like that.

@@AbstractJJJ That documentary aired here in Australia maybe ten years ago, in much better quality than that, and then they played the whole two episodes as they would have appeared on TV if they'd aired at the time. Not sure why the quality was so bad in the clip that was included here. And they weren't suspicious of the coughing before 32,000 because there wasn't any. Originally he had four devices strapped to him - one on each arm and one on each leg, and someone would press a button to make the correct one vibrate. The coughing, and the way he kept repeating back all the options to prompt it, was a hastily devised plan B because they were worried he'd get caught with the devices on him. They switched strategies between the two episodes.

​@@Jivvi I completely forgot about their initial scheme. I went back and watched some. So, it turns out that some of the crew saw him using his phone outside the studio shortly after recording and they're not allowed to bring phones so that plan fell apart after just the first 3 questions (I guess it was a commercial break? Not terribly clear when he'd have a chance to step out) I also forgot that he legitimately played 500£-4000£. And the new episode and the coughing was all the way back at 8000£. I did successfully remember 32k. Whittock didn't know the 32k answer and his wife decided to cough, but since she's always being recorded, that's when the crew started figuring it out. They didn't know about Whittock helping until after the 32k question. After they caught on to Whittock, they went back and found the 8k and 16k coughs. Last random thing. I did not know the "coughing episode" was 9/10/2001. Not sure why so much time had passed before he got to trial.

And I was shocked that he got this question for One million! I thought the answer is well known by most people

They KNEW the answer. No way wud anyone risk 470,000 quid on a question.

@@Marjopolo302 Not unless they were certain of their answer...

@@Marjopolo302 It has happened in various versions around the world, however.

If you have the intelligence to get to 500k youre also certainly smart enough not to throw that away

@@Marjopolo302 There are people who have lost the 1 million question

Only because she was already rich, she's part of the aristocracy. So it wouldn't be lifechanging money to her anyway.

@@laurarigby2261 she was actually struggling with money

@@laurarigby2261 Wrong! At the time she was struggling to pay her mortgage and risked losing her house. As for who her Ancestors were, Danny Dyer is a descendant of every English King from Edward III back to William the Conquerer. Think he's rich and posh???

@@laurarigby2261 Just curious, are you related to Eleanor?

So laughable... So obvious he was cheating.

What? Are you saying he wasn't lucky 15 times?

he cheated ands got caught lmao

@@mrswozzle Judith Keppel is a genuine winner, whereby Charles Ingram cheated his way to the million.

Sam Bee no no no no..that was a money backhander/laundering/boomerang situation between Celador and a possibly unconscious patsy. Keppel is related to the royal family, worth millions (and did not need to win a million pounds) and her million dollar question was on royal history.

I don’t know if this actually happens but I watched a Korean movie about a group of people trying to beat a quiz show and in there, the later questions were changed according to the contestant. As in, if a contestant reached the final questions having aced history and pop culture, the final question would be about something else like sports. This way, it was tailored so as to be harder to any particular contestant to win.

Now you do!

Infectious lol. Cough cough

DarkBreloom I had a thing for astronomy as a kid LOL

It's actually pronounced "ur-UH-nus"

If you don't know that information, it can't be easy. It's simple as that.

Yup so is Titania

What's Umbriel from then?

Cheating scumbag.

Maybe but he didn’t hear or use the coughin in anyway to get the answer and I honestly believe it was a genuine win and they were wrong what they did to him

@@scttm79 you’re so wrong. He didn’t have a clue. He never even heard of many of the answers he gave… still made for great television

@@lovelondon806 I am sure the fact that Dianne was yelling at him and people heard screaming in the dressing room after when they were alone proves he innocent as it only makes sense for her to be upset at him if he won the money fair and square and did a great job

He was clearly cheating, it's obvious. Every time googol was said there was coughing in the audience indicating it was the right answer. If you watched his entire run, he knew very little or didn't know the answers at all but somehow took "educated" guesses and got them right.

He was the one who cheated to 1 million lol

He couldn’t be more obvious. Why didn’t the coughing man go on he knows everything

@@rafafederer832 This is what I dont understand. That guy could have gone on and won legitimately. Crazy.

@@rafafederer832it was a battle among a few potential contestants to get on. The coughing man ended up getting on in another episode. He went far but didnt win the million. And he was eventually caught as well.

@@TheHutchIsOn If I recall, Tecwen Whittock, the man with the convenient coughing problem, got his £4,000 question wrong.

Me too.

@@mediaproductions6679 I can see the racing question being a low level question here in US actually, pretty easy one if you know sports even a little over this way.

Yeah, it's similar to the Paddington bear question on US millionaire; most British folk, particularly older ones, know Paddington bear is from Peru.

I am Czech so obviously I knew that question with Tomáš Masaryk, Elementary school children know that... I'm just glad he didn't blow it on that one

I usually know none of the answers, ironically the cheater's million pound one I knew. I better, since I teach math. It's weird watching it now after seeing a documentary done on exposing him, because it's now so obvious he cheated. But that's due to just knowing what he did after the fact. I can see why they got suspicious of him the way he'd say, I think it's this, then all of the sudden switch to a different answer. On a different note, I loved it when Judith won, just the way it went. And I honestly have all the respect in the world for people that weren't sure and walked away at the 500,000. To me, that is so much money, how can you risk it on something you're not sure about. I knew the Oberon one too, but only because I just taught a little about planets to someone and we concentrated on Neptune and Uranus.

Interestingly the only one of the Triple Crown races of which I am aware is the Kentucky Derby, so I think I may have gone for it

That's pretty ironic ! Thanks for sharing .

very easy question for geography buffs

except for the major fraud himself

Who is known, as Charles Ingram

Except if they don't live in your neighborhood

If anyone's curious, the Arlington Million is now run at Colonial Downs, Virginia (as of 2023)

The guy that wrote it is a friend of a friend . He made a million pounds from the brief composition , especially when it was used in Slumdog Millionaire .

You need new stars

She went on to be an Egghead professional quizzer on the tv show of the same name.

Probably still in shock

Yup!

No way in a million years I would’ve known that answer.

I knew it through stamp collecting. The 1973 Tree issue was Quercus Robur

I was fairly confident the answer was ‘Trees’ based on a skeletal cat named Quercus in Divinity: Original Sin 2. A squirrel resurrected the cat and named him Quercus, said squirrel is also searching for the ‘Great Acorn’ so linking the answer based on that wouldn’t be too much of a stretch.

I personally love hearing about how different people know the answer. I didn't know it, and now I'll never forget it.

@@stephenmatura1086 lol i knew the "masaryk being the first president of czechoslovakia" question because it was mentioned on a stamp made to his memory

He behaved equally as suspiciously if not more so on the half million pound question. Even his accomplice was trying to dissuade him from going any further and arousing further suspicion.

Repeating the choices till he heard the cough.

Well to me that was the easiest question. I know quite a bit about the British Royal family. Henry 1st married Matilda, who was the daughter of the king of Scotland. Richard 1st married Berengaria of Navarre, who interestingly never actually set foot in England, and Henry 5th married Catherine of Valois. Apologies for showing off.

@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 no need to apologize, you’re just showing us your knowledge on British Royalty.

Im actually so proud of myself i knew that one and the next one and ive not seen the whole video yet :) the million pound ones seem easier than others!

Hello American here, and I thought that the Eleanor of Aquitaine one was easy and the James the first one was easy. But I love reading about royalty as a side hobby :-)

I've been saying for a while the Chester le Street question was easy , even if you don't follow cricket .

Hi . I totally agree with you . For that amount of money I have always thought the question should have been harder . Even if someone does not follow cricket , all they need to know is Chester le Street is in Co. Durham and they win a million pounds . As I've mentioned earlier my Dad was only one step away from being on the show and knew every answer . When it came to the Chester le Street question he nearly put his foot through the TV ! He lived there most of his life .

Durham only became a first class side in the 90s so probably fewer people would have known the answer at the time. I always remember his name was Peter Lee as Peterlee is a town in Durham ha

@@Mark64W Only thing i know about Chester Le Street is that its where former England and MUFC skipper Bryan Robson is from, and if you've ever heard the man speak you know the answer already.

@@dudeLaurence He certainly was , and worked for my Dad as a paper boy !

Robert is my favourite. He was on the Major Fraud documentary dissing Charles in the most eloquent way. It was golden!

Yeah, a pretty easy question I thought though.

John Randall 6:19 Comedian writers of the questions. You bet your ass its Uranus

It was still an educated guess. Ohm is obviously German.

@@PurplePinkRed Yeah. he just happened to be backstage two whole weeks before winning the million, what a load of contrived nonsense

Indeed.

It's actually the least favourite.

the major fraud, the cheetah himself :l

A person not being familiar with moose might assume that the plural of moose is meese in analogy with goose / geese.

Plural of moose could be mice.

If you eat too much chocolate Moose, it becomes chocolate Meese! 😂

Crazy that I knew none of them apart from the Googol one haha

The Googol question would be so simple these days as that's how Google got its name.

Are you sure she was the first? I thought there were a few before Judith.

She is also the only female UK top prize winner to date

@@kenirving5240 Can't tell if you're counting international versions or just telling a really bad joke

@@morbidsearch no, I wasn't joking, I honestly thought there was another winner before Judith.

@@kenirving5240 Yep, John Carpenter. He was also the only one to win without any lifelines...

You poor fool; winners are predetermined.

I thought he was a chef

Everyone knows the question. The question is whether you knew the answer.

@@hendrikhardeman9832 Ha, gottem!

@@mediaproductions6679 Basically, yeah. Nobody else I knew at the time knew it. When you're 11 it's the little things that you can pride yourself on. Of course, nowadays it's common knowledge.

That episode was never broadcasted on tv.

@@abdvs325 true, but I remember watching a documentary about it when it first happened and they showed the footage of each question.

@@VeggehGaming Well yeah there is the company Google that based it off of. But more obviously, Megatron is a Transformer, Gigabit is a unit of data storage, and Nanomole is an incredibly small number.

@@abdvs325 Absolutely! Classic example of the Mandela effect.

Apparently he also sliced off three of his toes in 2010 in an automatic lawnmower accident.

she is an aristocrat... no thanks

They would have not been able to prove the coughing was helping charles if it happened on just one or two questions. The fact that it happened on multiple questions was what gave it away. And the more questions Charles went for, the more evidence authorities/investigators had to work with. The documentary mentioned that if Charles had walked away at 125K he might have actually gotten away with it as investigators might have had insufficient evidence to work with. There was no coughing on the 16K question, and it was Diana, not Techwinn who coughed on the 32K question. The biggest red flag occurred on the 500K question...the "cough NO" thing. That being said I do not support cheating, and Charles was 100% cheating and Im glad he was caught. Based on how Diana reacted to losing on the 64K question you can tell that family really really wanted the big million and they were really determined. The phrase "Never give up" is a darn good phrase to live by but there is the odd scenario here and there where that is actually a bad thing, and Ingrams millionaire episode is one of them. Its important to know where to draw the line on the phrase "Never give up". That being said....he should not have attempted to cheat in the first place, end of story.
