Ouch didn't use a lifeline either

Uncharted · 24-01-2021 9:18pm

Bit of an arrogant ego at play in that last contestant I feel.

Water John · 24-01-2021 9:20pm

It was between Borg and Lewis, a 50:50 call might have solved it. He got too cocky. It's really important to control your emotions in a quiz. That's why on Beat The Chasers, they analyse the jib of the contestants as they come in.

I'm not liking this one bit cocky as well

Loved her.

HeidiHeidi · 24-01-2021 10:33pm

Only watching this on Virgin now..... the one the first fella went out on I'd have confidently got wrong as well - was a huge tennis fan and an even bigger Borg fan back in the day, and I have absolutely NO memory of him ever trying to make a comeback - I really thought he swanned off into the sunset with never a backwards glance!

His cock-up has the following contestant properly rattled!!

Thargor · 24-01-2021 10:36pm

Btw Quiz is starting on RTE1 right now, its alright.

Wasn't entirely sure, but had thought Lewis won medals at four straight Olympics, and so didn't retire early.

Yes, an hour later, before it used to be a week later - wasn't sure if it was the same series, but posts here confirm it is.

I knew the answer to that annus horribilis question because of Reeling in the Years.

Clinton.

Could have taken the rest of next week and I wouldn't have got there!

Year questions are a nightmare, the contestants on Pointless who go for them in the final round rarely fare well.

Water John · 24-01-2021 11:08pm

Thought 1999 was Annus Horribilus, so starting from the wrong spot.
She should have known Clarkson is a movie buff. She was lucky to ask him.

Wasn't Argo his Oscar winning film though? He didn't know that! (and I'm absolutely crap at films

)

yes but in fairness most sprinters don't last past 26 ...i thought it was Lewis too, i reckon that's going to haunt him for the rest of his days he was truly stunned

felt sorry for him

Unearthly · 31-01-2021 8:58pm

Bump

Seems to be on a bit later tonight 8:10

dublinman1990 · 31-01-2021 10:10pm

That was the quickest ever "You're right. You won £32K" given to your one from Jeremy a few minutes ago.

Say Your Number · 31-01-2021 10:49pm

Some of those 500 pound questions can be very tricky.

fryup · 31-01-2021 11:32pm

i don't like the way he rolls his eyes when people are pondering over a question putting pressure on them, its alright for him he's probably on a million a year anyway :cool:

Yes, he really can't help himself.
He showed complete disdain for that girl because she didn't know the answer to The Clash question.
It was oh so obvious to him what the answer was so he made faces.
You wouldnt mind but whenever people ask him for his opinion he normally hasnt a clue.

fryup · 01-02-2021 11:47am

^^^^^^^^^^

yep, i mean he didn't even know the answer to longest motorway in the UK question a few episodes ago, and him a motor journalist

(still i prefer him to Chris Tarrant)

Water John · 01-02-2021 12:14pm

Did he say last night that he was an alcoholic, when the drinks Q came up? Wasn't aware of that.
I admired that girl's calmness and refusal to be bullied, as that what it was. Maybe he hadn't had a hot dinner.

Why ?

I think Tarrant is the master , Clarkson is Vauxhall Conference in comparison.

Tarrant very good but I think Clarkson has been great, I'd definitely have Clarkson over Tarrant.

Clarkson may have some funny bits but he can be very insulting

Obnoxious at times.
He's full of his own importance, - the focus of attention should be on the contestant but he's always trying to draw it to himself.

Tarrant is a much more affable person.
He is much better at teasing out an answer out of a contestant, and then he teases out the delivery of the correct answer, great for suspense.
It can be a bit sadistic at times but its great the way he makes the person doubt themselves.

Clarkson just blurts out, oh you are correct, there is no buildup.

Thargor · 21-02-2021 6:56pm

Is the one on VM1 tonight the same as ITV does anyone know? Or are they a week behind?

fryup · 21-02-2021 7:01pm

i think its the same edition

batistuta9 · 21-02-2021 8:55pm

They're a week behind on vm1.

Yeah just saw the Goth question, definitely saw that on ITV last week.

batistuta9 · 24-07-2021 6:58pm

New episodes started two weeks ago on ITV. In again tonight at 9

Tv3 or Virgin media probably won't start airing the new series until the fantastic love island finishes.

dublinman1990 · 24-07-2021 9:09pm

My god. The first question being answered in tonight's episode on ITV is known by Irish people the world over. I would answer it in a heartbeat if it was given to me.

dublinman1990 · 24-07-2021 9:24pm

Ah Jesus......This is going to be a long night with this young fella. And he is born in Dublin? Seriously?

dublinman1990 · 24-07-2021 9:45pm

I think I have minced my words earlier because this young man has done superbly well........and as fans of this show we didn't expect it in the first place. Well done to him.

MisterAnarchy · 24-07-2021 10:05pm

He did well, a risk taker, but it paid off.

batistuta9 · 16-11-2021 8:34pm

4 celeb specials airing this week on ITV, starting tonight @ 9

Another on Sunday 28th, which I think was shown on vm1 a week or so back.

25-11-2021 6:25pm

Yeah I prefer Clarkson to Tarrant.

dublinman1990 · 22-01-2022 7:46am

A new spin off show called Fastest Finger First will be shown on ITV very soon. It will hosted by Anita Rani. It will pit five players against each other for a chance to win a guaranteed place to play for £1 million in WWTBAM with Jeremy Clarkson.

https://tellymix.co.uk/tv/606830-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-spin-off-fastest-finger-first-on-its-way-to-itv.html

I wonder if this new show will produce any interest for viewers here in Ireland. Would any of you want to watch this show if it was aired by ITV or VM Ireland. I would be interested to see it for myself to know how it works in practice. But I think padding this out for an hour per show maybe a bit of a drag.

It might be good for the viewers who are going to be seeing these contestants multiple times on both shows rather than having barely appeared while doing FFF on Jeremy's version of WWTBAM and then not getting into the hotseat with him.

dublinman1990 · 02-02-2022 3:39am

WWTBAM will have it's studio audience back for it's next series.

dublinman1990 · 20-02-2022 10:25pm

Episode recordings are being made for both the regular & celebrity editions of WWTBAM in Salford over the past few days. Unfortunately the studio audience is not back to full capacity for each episode. Lost in TV who are offering tickets of the show to members of the public are cancelling their bookings to some people because of social distancing requirements. I have no idea which version of the show is affected tbh.
