Ok so now they are playing for charity. George Lamb (Big Brother presenter etc) and Larry Lamb (Archie Mitchell from Eastenders / Gavins dad on Gavin & Stacey)... father and son, I didn't know that, never made the connection.

I've just turn it on to catch the last few minutes.

Surely even the thickest of people can walk away with money, even if they have no clue over any question if they split the money each time. How many questions do they have to answer?

8 questions but you have to leave at least one answer with no money on, so you can't just split the cash between all answers.

There was a question this week about the odds of something on an online betting shop. While the question was on the betting website crashed hehe

That was surprising. Craig is older than he looks. Connery looked older than 32.

Would you be as confident if you were playing for real?

No need, just play it on-line and see how quickly your "sure" answer turns into a "maybe".......

I managed to get 16 answers in a row correct on the online game with my million intact.

Could I do it with a real million? I very much doubt it.

I feel this programme is quite addictive. It sucks you in, grips you and has you shouting at the screen when the muppets get an obvious answer wrong.
Tom Jones, 51...haha
I was stuck on the Bonnie and Clyde and Al Capone question, so I googled it.
Found out the answer whilst it was on the break and knew that they were losing a substantial amount.
I think googling the answers spoils the game tho.

They get the skanky celeb fitness video questions correct. They have found their niche.
