Famous Episodes
In one show, in the 15th series in 1995, William G. Stewart famously dropped his cards whilst explaining the rules of the first round. The questions had to be wasted. A notable contestant on this show, and clearly seen in the outtake as he was standing at position 7, was Ingram Wilcox, who later won the top prize on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
In the grand final of series 29 shown in December 2000 (won by Matti Watton), one contestant, who was standing at position 4, could not be identified for legal reasons, so all traces of this contestant participating in the show had to be removed. In round one, the contestant's two questions were edited out, and the camera jumped from contestant 3 to 5. The contestant was eliminated in the first round, so the episode progressed as normal.
