Ah well, the three part TV drama, QUIZ, inspired by Bad Show, aired on ITV on April 13, 14 and 15 2020, will air in the USA on May 31st 2020 and then the next two Sundays.

Stay tuned for more fall out.

Putting the weirdest twist yet on things, would any of you guys believe that Question Fourteen, correctly answered by a retired GP to win 500K on Millionaire? a few days ago, was the very same Question Thirteen that Ingram answered correctly en route to his million!? Only that was Ingram Wilcox . In...

And read here if you want to learn how the TRUE cheats worked Millionaire? as, at long, long last, ´The Beast´spills the beans - Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? contestants regularly cheated with ‘nods and winks’ according to The Chase’s Mark Labbett https://uk.yahoo.com/news/wants-millionaire-contes...

Ah well. Enough of this, because we all learn of "the law´s delay". But TWENTY years truly is taking the piss. :shock: The mini series airs in the States on May 31st so that´ll supply an extra fillip. I predict that there will be a successful appeal...and ex-major Charles Ingram will experience the ...

Mr Farthing (and you have several times posted here that the case does not interest you) you might just kindle a book on the topic - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bad-Show-Cough ... B00SOVGFJ2

Untrue.
The audience had only two simple options: Guilty or Not Guilty.
Two votes. One after Act One and one at the end of the theatre showing of QUIZ.

First of all, please accept EVERYTHING that David Sedgwick character writes with some suspicion! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1999359135/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i1 I imagine Reuben had some doubts but, when forced to choose between Guilty or Not Guilty went for the first one but w...

Prosecution nabbed him simply to prevent the formality of his being called as a witness for the defence. Had he been called for the defence the anodyne nature of his testimony would have been more likely to register with the jury if he carried the label Witness for the Defence. That´s all. And their...

I was NEVER given a second chance at any FF question, Sñr Thurlow. Graham´s point was to show some legitimate and quite valid "alternative facts" for the defence. And Mike Gunn is spot on that they should NOT have been convicted on that evidence. Ingrams were interviewed separately. Paul Smith was a...

There was nothing for the defence to contest. In 53 minutes Tarrant said he´d noticed nothing suspicious of any kind. As a result the defence lawyers had to resort to questions like, "Has anybody ever got the first question wrong?" Which generated laughter. Even the judge himself was wont to join in...

Much about the gangs who targeted Millionaire? you have already read in our book, Neville. And you´ll be seeing more of Paddy Spooner in the third episode of QUIZ . Certainly true that Tarrant´s 53 minute testimony was that he suspected nothing on either night Ingram occupied the hot seat and found ...

Maia CHIGURBANIDZE played in Beds in the late 1970s!

Get outta here!!

From doubts about it all, to concerned communications to his solicitors, to crossing swords with many in the Guilty camp at quizzing websites, to Online essay, to recruitment of as prominent a figure as any in the field of writing about miscarriages of justice, to newspaper articles ... to Book ... ...

James Graham e mails to tell me the very probable broadcast date in the UK will be Monday 13th April and then, on each of the two successive nights, parts Two and Three also.

So, enjoy, Sñr Thurlow!



AMC dates fixed for May 25th, 26th and 27th in the USA.
