Karpaty Lviv Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Anyone been watching this on ITV? A drama based on the cheating Charles Ingram on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (18 and a half years ago!) Michael Sheen playing Chris Tarrent is fantastic. Absolutely everything is spot on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rankine Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Yep, it's been brilliant so far. Michael Sheen is an incredible mimic. Was actually quite tense in episode 2, watching the Major progress up the prizemoney, even though I knew how it ended!I didn't follow the court case in detail at the time. I had no idea how intricate the network was around the country which was attempting to manipulate the entry system and then "cheat" once someone from their syndicate got in the chair. No doubt a degree of poetic licence by the writers but still incredible in an era of minimal social media.Looking forward to the finale tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) I don’t know if that was the actual defence given in court but I thought it was a pretty good attempt given he was guilty as sin. Is a good watch and provided this drama with a lot of what was shown in the drama. Edited April 15, 2020 by Karpaty Lviv 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Decent watch, surely no one actually killed his dug though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Also the person who was trying to phone outside the studio on the first night was Marcus Powell, not Adrian Pollock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I enjoyed it. I'm going to quit my job and become a full-time campaigner to clear Charles Ingram's name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Thought it was great, but why does everyone refer to Ingram as the coughing major? He was the one who wasn't! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
