In It To Win It

[oscarina]

Did you see tonights In It To Win It, the lottery show with Dale Winton! The guy was on £100.000 cleaned up on his own until the last question! Which year was John Lennon and others born, choice of year 1935, 1940 1945! He went for 1945 and lost , how devastating for him as he was brilliant throughout the game! Thought that question would have been easy for him as Lennons birth and death are memorable dates!!

[Panic Button]

I wouldn't have known either

[askyourgran]

I thought it was 1945 not so memorable for me either.

[puternut]

The questions are only easy if you know the answer - quote from Chris Tarrant many times.

Ad why is 1940 more memorable than 1945. And I don't know what year he died - could guess but then ..... how old was he when he died??

And the other two people born the same year (Richard Pryor and A.N. Other) ?? memorable??

I must admit both my wife and I (children of the 60's) had a discussion whilst watching Olly and couldnt agree.

[chattykathy]

I thought 1945 too.
How much would the chap have won on 'Who wants to be a millionaire?' He got 20 consecutive questions right with no 'phone a friend' etc!!!!! Poor bloke!

[Panic Button]

Most people would remember? Why?

[chattykathy]

I couldn't remember the year he died but I do remember crying my eyes out!
There are no easy or hard questions, just questions you either know or don't!! Or something like that!

[puternut]

with respect chatty kathy - you would get a much harder than John Lennons birth year for the £1m

[alexanderd]

puternut it wasnt A N other it was Bruce Lee the greatest martial artist who ever lived famous in his own field

[chattykathy]

I don't think the the questions are that hard on WWTBAM. Agree with puternut and Chris Tarrant!
Such a shame to get so many correct and then walk away with nothing!

[ELVIS68]

I knew the year he was shot and would have gone for 1945 as well, £100k down the pan just like that...still, as they say, he came with nothing! lol

[osprey]

With respect to the others that have answered, I would have worked out the year of his birth from being confident that he was over 20 when The Beatles had their first No 1 in Britain and that was not in 1965.

[4getmenot]

I wouldnt have know either

[4getmenot]

I'd have got it right though as I'd have gone with the middle one lol

[ganesh]

He seemed to be logically working it out too,he couldn't have been 18 when the Beatles had their hit in 63,and then he went for 45! i di remember that he was shot in 1980 and that he was only 40 so I would have got that question right,
But how devasted was his wife?
So unlucky,It was tragic,it'll haunt them forever,such a large amount of money!

[lankeela]

Not as devastated as his mother, he was going to get her a face lift with the money.

Who's John Lennon?
