Has any other Millionaire got through with only using a single lifeline? Incredible stuff!

Crazy, I would of done what that yank did when he won and rang his dad and said I'm about to win a million.

I was sure that he’d ring him just to say that he was about to win a million!

Very good quizzer and luck was with him, as you need. The half million pound question is a fairly regular quiz one, strange for that money. Really delighted for him and his family.

They really had to have a winner to keep people interested.

I particularly like the fact that he had to tell Clarkson how many had previously won the million:D

Donald was a terrific winner to win the £1 Million. I have been avoiding the news articles about it earlier today to ignore the win until tonight's big win. It's a shame that his family were not there in the studio audience to see him win it. It would have been terrific scenes to see him giving them a big hug after winning the Jackpot. It's been wonderful night for this guy. I wish Donald a hearty congratulations & well done. He was superb.

An outtake of JC had him say the f word twice on It'll be Alright on the Night on ITV.

I would have pretended I didn't know the answer and asked the host!

It was brilliant to watch.

The minute he said his brother won 500,000 near the start myself + my husband were like ohhhhh he could be good!

He is a teacher + wife a nurse so certainly not millionaires. Great to see people like that who are public servants winning money like that.

Seems so down to earth. He will be a legend now in his school!

MisterAnarchy

He is the head off Donald Pleasance.

In fairness as a history and politics teacher he couldn't have asked for an easier series of questions.
Up to 16k the questions were all very easy.
The 50/50 took away the closest answer to the correct one.

Not one modern pop culture , music, literature, sport, science or technology question.

Seems like a very nice fellow though.

Billy Ocean

Absolute beast of a contestant and seems like a nice man too, hope he can do to the travelling he wants if things get back to normal at some point.

sonofenoch

Had to laugh at the end when he even answered how many jackpot winners there had been on the show ...........there was a touch of Rainman about him

The questions really did fall his way which even he admitted. ITV wanted a millionaire winner and it was leaked all to boost ratings but it was enjoyable to watch all the same.

Just watched it now. What a likeable chap and a real slumdog feel about the questions!

I suppose a measure of the man that he didn't phone his brother to tell him was going to beat him.

I most certainly would have

I am beginning to wonder if this is a clever fix by the programme makers to boost ratings ?? It all seems a bit too good to be true ?
