English teacher didn't know what a funambulist does! gawd elp us!

[maggiebee]

Wow, wow, wow. Amazing win.

//Wasn't Madeley prosecuted for piching bottles of win>//

Think I was half asleep when I wrote that!

Tonight's win, was it my imagination or were his questions easier than other night's? Seemed to lack the more inane modern kultcha ones.

"Donald, who lives in Telford, said he had taught piracy to a group of Year 8 students about eight years ago . . . "

So that's where Inland Revenue staff are educated!

Fabulous name for a Teacher, well done to him.

[grumpy01]

Just watched this.Thought the James Callaghan question easy for half a million but otherwise brilliant knowledge.Arguably the best winner so far.

I've known the right answer to several of the final-round questions including tonight's (I can't remember them now but I think one was an oak tree and one was a cricket ground?) But I'd never get that far, I'd be knocked out at the start for not knowing someone in Coronation Street.

[Theland]

I could tell you where the Hardy Hole is, and its nothing to do with Return Of The Native.
And Peter Haines got done for robbing a typewriter ribbon.

[andres]

I don't know how they did tonight's show. He won the million several months ago . It just felt a bit flat knowing that he was the one going to win .

[jno]

oh, those do seem quite easy, Diwali was the only one I would have had to guess, and no soap questions. They used to be a lot harder.

[Cloverjo]

Well, we knew there was going to be a winner, and it had to be him. Very good. Shame it was in subdued circumstances.

[andres]

It was pre-recorded.

He said he wouldn't retire for a year but he jacked his job in straight away - good for him! I thought he was brilliant and appeared to be a very nice bloke.

[ToraToraTora]

jno: "I'd be knocked out at the start for not knowing someone in Coronation Street. " - yep me too!

[ichkeria]

He taught piracy for eight years and got a million pound question on pirates?

I think AC 12 needs to look at that :-)

[naomi24]

^Me too.

I haven't seen the edition where the million was won - I have them all recorded - but I saw the one where the science teacher got the simple science question wrong - and she'd already done 50/50 so had only a choice of two answers. Unbelievable! 'Funambulist' was genius level by comparison!

[naomi24]

Oops! The 'Me too' there doesn't mean I taught piracy ... it was to TTT's last answer about Coronation Street.

[ToraToraTora]

I usually know most of the high value questions but often get stumped on a sub grand question about things that most of the country know but I have no interest in. Things like soaps, x factor winners etc!

[THECORBYLOON]

"He taught piracy for eight years"

Did he not say he taught it eight years ago?

[naomi24]

And me TTT. Anything to do with soaps or reality TV or celebrities I'd be out straightaway.

[jno]

TTT, the soap questions appear not to be there any more; maybe they make the product less sellable overseas.
