Because you didn't cough with enough committment - it sounded like a very indecisive cough to me

It will all be long spent by then

My girlfriend has spent it many times over already and we can't even cash the cheque until it has been broadcast on the 16th

Don't you hate that? I always wondered why they have to ask "pop entertainment" questions like these. I mean, the smartest guy in the world probably doesn't give a rats behind who Jude Law is marrying

Sienna Miller?

I think they ask them to try and narrow down the chances of winning.

Small potatoes. Top prize is 1 million quid. Thats almost $2million.

Nice one scraggle. Questions sounded totally hard though. And who apart from <sexism alert> housewives who read Bella know who bloody Jude Law is marrying? Because of the amount of money involved, I think it's fair to say c**ts!!!

Anyway, email me to get my bank details for deposit

Oh, and was the 125k guy a complete dork?

Cheers

Congrats. 8 grands a great win, enough to buy a few things for yourself and if you spend it in a week no-one's that bothered. I never realised they were fake reactions, maybe someone should fake faint with astonishment, that'd really put the wind up 'em.

One thing I did wonder, at the start of the show there's no table in the middle of the floor but when someone wins fastest finger it miraculously appears. Does someone just wheel it up and plug it in?

Actually no, he was a really nice guy. I'm glad he did well.

I noticed that when watching it aswell but while filming the table stayed in the middle. So, it will be interested to watch it back and see if they have changed the format or if they digitally edit it out.

There is a pause though. I went up and shook Tarrants hand and he said 'Do you want to play for a million quid?' Then I went for a piss and had a glass of water and then we had to adopt the same pose as before the camera stopped. I have watched some 'Classic millionaire' since I came back and you can tell they don't always edit it correctly.

Heh, notice that he got fastest finger right when it was about wine? Coincidence? I think not...

You'll be able to buy some new wine with that winnings Scraggle.

They have too, or they'd pay away millions. What would happen if some Omish (sp?) guy showed up on the show? Remember jeopardy?

Why have I stickied this? Well, I think until it's aired it can be here so we all don't forget to watch

Hope that's a reasonable excuse.

But why would you plug DBP? You could have plugged something better, like a beverage and they would have sent you CASES.

Oh yes, someone record it, I will host it no probs.

It's tommorrow night at 19:55 and it all seems very surreal

Watch out for the bit where I make a complete arse of myself when Tarrant says 'I don't suppose you get much chance to keep up with celebrity affairs being in the RAF?'. It was such a bizarre thing to say that it completly threw me off balance and I mumbled nonsensically 'Erm ... well ... it is my option to ... eh what?' Hopefully they will edit that bit out

There has been talk of recording this and uploading it. Is anyone actually going to do it because I don't even have a VCR never mind the hardware neccessary for converting to digital and uploading. When my cheque clears I will make it a priority

One would assume he said that right after you asked the audience on the Jude Law question. Or am I completely wrong?
