The Major Fraud
On the 9th of September 2001 British army major Charles Ingram got into the hot seat on itvs biggest game show "who wants to be a millionaire".
After winning the jackpot of £1000000 he was arrested alongside his wife Diana and fellow contestant Tecwen Whittock on a charge of "procuring the execution of a valuable security by deception".
It was alleged by the shows producers that major Ingram had cheated his way to the top prize by listening for carefully placed coughs by both his wife Diana and fellow contestant Tecwen Whittock.

A most interesting show!!!!!!! 56:09
A band is blowing Dixie, double four time
You feel alright when you hear the music ring
Why not maybe she could've wore a mask,when she coughed.
Googoi is spelt wrong 😊
The fact that they actually aired the episode immediately after the documentary was just brilliant. The ratings for that one episode must have been through the roof.
he should've put a zapper that has a slight zap in his bum, and he would've got away with it with no evidence 😂😂
@@brandonstevenson3304 like the more recent chess championship cheater that used remote control anal beads? Oh it's true.
It actually never aired
@@lisabell2573 if the episode did air, the ratings would have gone through the roof. But still ingram is still defo a cheater.
They never aired the episode
The fact that 3 of the same family members played here is suspicious enough
That's what I thought.
I was thinking the same. Like One, two ok, but 3? Like give some other family a try. This family was playing Monopoly on millonare.
And that the same people go over and over and over.
Yes, some insider nonsense was at play
Yeah, the family already won big, give another family or person a go, that's life changing money.
They were too obvious. They shoulda had a cough for A. A sneeze for B. A hiccup for C. And a massive fart for D.
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀
🤣🤣
A 😷
B 🙄
C 😳
D 🤢
Oh my god, I'm dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That would be stupid plan. At £32,000 question everyone in the room would have died for gas poisoning.
“How old are your daughters?”
“I am not familiar with my daughters, ummmm…. *wife coughs* 11, 7 and 6
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL Tecwen slipping in that "no" after coughing reminds me of those people who try to unsuccessfully cover their fart with a cough
Hahahaha good one
My favorite part of this is watching the wife's increasingly exasperated reactions as he keeps making it more and more obvious. It's like she wants to scream 'Holy s**t, you idiot, what is wrong with you?!'
I'm watching this with ten minutes left and I'm seeing in the comments that it reveals she did scream at him afterward. Pretty easy to see why.
near the end, it is reported that had a huge row in the dreasing room. 😂 not exactly what youd expect after "winning" a million.
yeah thats what i thought too, she was getting increasingly annoyed at him because he was making it too obvious
Oh she let him have it in the back room. Freaking hilarious comments…! ❤
Her initial coughing and facial expressions is was caused suspicion to begin with. Funny she gets mad at him for making it obvious
When you're married with a moron...
I totally understand the gentleman (the one who became the genuine 3rd millionnaire) who understood that cheating was obvious and felt sick about it.
It's like watching young people who get a degree by cheating while you spent months or years working your a** off.
His biggest mistake was saying that he had no idea at the beginning of every question. He should have kept his mouth shut and made it seem like he was reasoning it out in his head. If the host asked, he should say, "I'm thinking about it," or some other excuse. Instead, he went from "I have no idea" to the right answer almost every time. He should have given vague responses like, "I know this somehow, I just need to think about it," or, "I've heard of this before but need a minute to recall."
His next big mistake was listing all the possible answers out loud every time. He should have picked one or two to say, and then did process of elimination based on whether or not he heard a cough.
And finally... he got greedy. If he had punched out at a lesser amount, the studio would not have been able to determine the pattern.
What impresses me is that the tech genius guy doing the coughs actually knew a hell of a lot! The problem is, Major was actually a stupid person, so even with cheating to help him he could not cheat intelligently and this gave him away. If two really intelligent people did this, the studio would have no idea. In fact, I'm sure some have gotten away with it.
So true. He has no clue but always “guesses” The right answer??
In fairness he had a Master's degree and passed a MENSA test showing he wasn't without a good deal of intelligence. Lacking common sense definitely.
Actually, there were a fair few questions the Major knew the answers to right away, and was only using the coughing for confirmation. He certainly wasn't stupid, but I would agree he lacked the intelligence required to know when enough was enough.
@@Paul1510WBintelligence and general knowledge and common sense are not always equivalent.
@@KJ-lb4tj I agree.
So when you watch his wife panicking and full of anxiety in the audience, now we know it was because he was pushing his luck and risking it all going to a level much further than they agreed to, not because she was scared of him losing the game.
it's the same
Agreed, and the body language at the end of the show, so not what you'd expect, so low key and almost diminished a kind of celebration. Might be a stretch to imagine they were showing subliminal guilty consiences.
She knew at the end they were gonna end up getting rumbled.
Like one of the production team said in this documentary, if he had called it a day at the £125K mark then its likely they would have let it go. That is exactly 12.5% of a million (not bad at all) - but he then pushed it and ended up with 0% of a million and nothing except criminal charges and an unwanted reputation.
I personally thought she was anxious because he would choose the wrong answer because her reaction were so evil and she even helped him her self by a caught it can make sense when the guy caughs constantly we say he is sick but they can't be both sick and have caughs !!
This is so funny because it would never work in a post-covid world. The second someone coughs now everyone is immediately suspicious
yet epstein didn’t kill himself and nobody cares our elite would’ve got exposed
Haha right, the amount of sneezes I have in public but have to hold them in, or make them as quiet as possible sucks. I used to be able to sneeze up a storm in the shops. Coughs included can't help but feel judged haha
Just so you know, post means after. In other words, over. Therefore, it would be in the past and no one would panic.
@@stephenfox8685 Not really. Post can be used relatively to describe the aftermath of one event occuring. A post-covid world can mean any time after covid initially occured and blew up.
Lmao good point.
They should have coughed when the host was reading the answers out😅
That wouldnt have been any less obvious that there is a cough on the right answer every time the host reads the questions. More efficient? Sure.
It would be less obvious in how you can make up an answer. Such as saying something silly as "I dont recognize Craig David"
I was thinking that haha
imagine if another person in the audience would cough! at the wrong time!😂😂😂
😂😂
There was lots of coughing going on. Whittock did much more than those highlighted for a start
I thought same
Greed is a bitch
I wish they would that would have been super funny.
Did anyone else cringe when his wife coughed and the guy behind her pit his head in his hands 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was there live as audiance member that night. Couldnt hear the coughs to be honest. But when he won 64k the presence off security heightened and everyone noticed it. Weeks later every audience member was interviewed buy the staff and police. Should off took 250k and no questions would have been asked.
The fact that you were that night was incredible - how did the security increase and did it make people suspicious about the cheating that was going on ?
The dramatic music every time they introduce another person 😂
The music is my favorite part
😂
It’s the soundtrack from WWTBAM, one of the most iconic game show soundtracks ever
“Coldplay, I’ve never heard of.” 😂 Seriously?
It made sense in context. This episode would have aired in 2001, Coldplay's major label debut was a year earlier. They didn't attain the major radio success until later in the decade, around 2006-08. Most of their earlier albums did well enough but most of the singles didn't have a ton of lasting airplay. In 2000 they were really just another rock band.
Got to remember when viewing all these questions this was 2001. Even the "googol" question makes sense in context.
Check the date of this event
I haven’t watched it yet and I had completely forgotten about this. But is anybody else blown away that it was 24 years ago?!
Yes. I feel old.
23*
I was thinking that as well.
The crazy thing is, it’s just after the £32K question and I got them all right merely by guessing. Well, actually I thought the cheese was from the Netherlands so I wouldn’t have made it to the £32K one
@@LissyVee I love playing along with these game shows. I really like prices right and wheel of Fortune. I do pretty well playing at home, but I have a feeling that if I were on TV or even in front of an audience, I would hyperventilate, have an anxiety attack and pass out cold lol I can talk a lot and be very friendly with people I don’t know but being the center of attention like back in the days of high school and doing book reports and stuff in front of my class was enough to really cause me to get lightheaded and almost passed out. Even if I knew what I was talking about. And if I were on one of those game shows I know, without a doubt it would not end well for me. 😂 and I would be so nervous that I would not be able to answer the questions properly or in time. Even if I knew the answer. But man, it would be fun!!!! I was playing the Clock game with my nine and 11-year-old grandsons the other day. They were trying to guess the price of something that I had so I told them about that game and we started doing it. It was hilarious lol it took them a minute to really understand how to go about doing it but once they caught on, they were having a good time. When that game show Minute to Win It was on my whole family played it at the Fourth of July. It’s been years ago like when that show was really popular. And this was like my extended family like aunts and uncles and cousins and stuff.
Cant believe i just spent over an hour of my life watching this
But its so good
Your not alone :)
The wife cannot act!! Lol
It was a waste, when you know the ending
Ha yeah. Plus some of the English accents have me confused
Ive watched it several times!!
If he had got to 64k or even 125k then he'd have got away with it. Sadly greed was his undoing and the further he went the less believable it was
IKR?
They still would’ve been pretty damn rich
Greed truly is the undoing of many
Granted many might’ve been still suspicious, but doubt they would’ve had sufficient enough evidence
He could’ve even gone to 250k. He kind of already knew the Anthony Eden was a hat, the coughs were mostly unnecessary. But the last two were way too obvious. That’s what did him in.
Yes exactly that’s what I was thinking
Greedy
Lol what sadly, he did wrong and was bound to get caught
I feel sorry for their kids, that must have been so embarrassing for them at school.
Why are so many people dead set on cheating for a million dollars being so embarrassing? Lol
It's embarrassing maybe that the plan sucked but it doesn't come with an implication of being stupid or something. This is who wants to be a millionaire, not "Are you smarter than a 5th grader"...
@@fornhunklekids are merciless, they’ll have been picked on terribly. And fyi a million pounds, not dollars. We have our own currency in the UK.
I was worrying about them (their kids) the whole time watching this
@@fornhunkle That's a million pounds, not a million dollars. In the UK that would be tax free, but in the US your government would have stolen a quarter of that.God bless America, you live there, you bleed there, America is now more vampire country than Transylvania..
@adamsawaryn5634 Cheating and frauding is embarrassing and pathetic.
25:30 The man sitting behind her reacts to her cough like “ She’s obviously coughing at the right answer 😂 does anyone else notice this?”
Some comments did yes, they were laughing too at how much of a fool Diana is 🤣
I noticed that too 😂 I thought he’s even into her
Good eye 👊🏼
hahahaha yeah even he looks like he's laughing at the absurdity of it
Maybe, but it is possible that he remembered something funny and immediately continued joking with his girlfriend.
He doesn't look like his attention is on Ingram's wife.
The people behind Ingram's wife knew there was something odd going on too. I'm so glad these people didn't win the money.
I know, i saw then react / whisper to each other
They really ought to have been interviewed too.
Her coughing at the Craig David question sounds faker than a kid trying to get out of going to school and the dramatic chest clutch for the camera when she does her fake coughing is hilarious 😂
"They aren't quiet onto me enough.... cough for a 3rd time after i say the right answer. "
Part of the problem is, he usually said “I’ve got no idea” or “I’m not certain” indicating he was just taking a wild guess.
I’m no statistician but GUESSES aren’t correct 100% of the time, as Charles’ were.
I know he should had acted like he new the answer a little more.
I became so excited with the guilty coughs, that I myself am doing the coughing when Major mentions an answer
😂
😂😂😂
Looking back on it, not only is he a fraudster, but a terrible actor, as well. There was something off about him from the moment he took that seat. Too bad neither of them thought about the children before making a ridicule of their reputation. The poor kids probably had to bear the stigma of their parents' recklessness throughout their childhood.
the plan was actually a very smart one, it was just absolutely HORRIBLY executed
Exactly !
u can see the lady visibly wincing in the crowd as it goes on as well
That's because his wife was the mastermind and I don't think he was comfortable with it.
@@FANOFWAR34 No it isn't. You think they wouldn't notice someone coughs when the right answer is mentioned? Give me a break.

I can actually see that… I would watch!
@@jordanwelch3832 Poor Robin Williams has been dead for ten years.
He is dead
@@gra4528 Correct. That's why I said "would've".
I thought the same.
He blantantly states each and every time he doesn't know what it is, has never heard of it and chooses it anyway?? Lmao...I mean, I know the coughing gave it away, but more than that--he gave himsef away by saying he's never heard of any of it in the first place. Worst tactic for cheating ever. I feel sorry for their children.

Feels like some of the audience knew what was going on 😂
Specially the guy that was behind Diana, he was laughing and kinda ashamed
We aren’t talking about the guy who didn’t clap in the audience enough 😭 that was hilarious
The wife's reaction was completely bizarre. The high pitch, the cry face, then, a moment later: completely BLANK.
She wouldn't have to come down if he'd just stopped at 250K.
She's a sociopath
It's hard to cheat 😂😂😂😂😂
People present such vile behaviour when it comes to a lust for money 🤮
I would have died of embarrassment so I would not have even tried. How these people can look at their friends and family in the eye is beyond me.
They tried to cheat a trivia game show, not hand over Jews to the Gestapo. I'm sure they got over it.

@@looker999997 lmfaooooo
can't believe the credits music wasn't craig david
I’m more impressed that the people helping knew all the answers
They didn't. Tecwin didn't know about Craig David, so Diana had to step in. He also didn't know about the Anthony Eden "hat" answer or the final answer as he had to check with his fellow Fastest Finger First contestants to either find out the answer or confirm if he wasn't sure.
He was a professor
The dumbest cheaters in the universe.
Ingram was an army Major, which is frightening when you consider his appalling strategy here.
Considering the year this took place, the strategy itself actually isn’t half bad, but it failed because Ingram is one of the stupidest idiots in all of the UK and there’s no way it would’ve worked with him. Just look at how he nearly blows it on the $500K question
No yanks around to save his ash....
Yanks would accidentally drop a bomb on him
They all not decent....
Militaries cheat.
And that gentlemen is what a fraud looks like, acting like an innocent and needy person, but actually the major thief in disguise.
He was a Queen's Officer. Let that sink in.
He should be locked away for life.
He should be locked away for serving the corrupt to the core royal crime family.
He was given probably the easiest Million Pound question, and he still needed to cheat. The clown got what he deserved.
Not in 2001, when the internet wasn’t as common yet.
How does the internet help? Nobody has a phone to Google the answer.
I don’t think he was bright enough to think of the con - he wasn’t even bright enough to get the first few questions right on his own.
I think his wife was the greater force behind it all.
He was actually very lucky with the upper half of questions, they dont get much easier then that. Had he stopped at 250k im 100% sure they would still get away with it in legal terms, sure he already raised a few eyebrows up to that point but i dont think that would be strong enough evidence against him because clearly he knew some of the answers himself and had a reasonable explanations. Last two questions were really the final nail in the coffin. It became so obvious it was child-like foolishness.
Maybe the £125,000 mark would've been better cause that's when the production team started getting suspicious.
sus
@@Dave12395 if you watch the doc they're already becoming suspicious at 32k but that's irrelevant, my only point being that proving he is guilty of cheating beyond reasonable doubt is a whole different matter on a court of law, regardless of our gut instincts. They would go on to study the tapes afterwards even if he stopped at 64k or 32k, but it would still be extremely difficult or impossible to make any undisputed conclusions.
Right lol.
The fact that after they won the million dollars and went into the dressing room and people heard Dianne yelling at Charles put the final nail that he is innocent. It proves it
Imagine the wrong person coughing and he fucks up 😅🤣😂☠️💀
When Paul Smith rang Charles Ingram to tell him he wasn't getting his prize money, his reaction was very bizarre, he sounded like he didn't seem to care or was bothered by it. If that was me I would've gone berserk and said "What on earth are you talking about?", and I expect many of us would do that. In my opinion, that is an indirect admission of guilt and he realised he'd been rumbled, but in the public eye he still denied it to avoid losing his dignity, but unfortunately that only added to it.
The “help” is so random Idk how this held up in court
I would at least question him saying "What irregularities?" "What suspicions?" It was like he knew he'd get caught and was dreading the encounter, which is why his reaction wasn't surprising.
@@Onmysheet He is innocent the fact that Dianne his wife was yelling at him in the dressing room proves he is innocent
@@scttm79 no it doesn't 🤣
@@RottingEarth yes it does only makes sense for her to yell at him because he did such a great job on the show that they were going to financially great the rest of there life.

Good thing he didn't choose me...I have tourette's and cough all the goddamn time 😂

The funny thing is that the last question is actually the easiest.
Googolplex
@@NayimKay how funny, did you just watch this at the same time as me!
@@Dude-etiquette lol I just sorted by new comments, and saw yours was very recent.
Also I know the last question, I remember the day my teacher told us about Googol.
So when I saw this documentary for the first time some years ago, the fact that the million pound question was about Googol is ingrained in my brain.
@@NayimKay haha very similar story to me.
Yes very easy
If he’d just been a bit smarter and not used the phrase “I don’t think it’s….”, but instead just quizzically said each answer as if he was considering it, or even “could it be……”, he might have gotten away with it.
He probably shouldn't have taken so long to answer his questions. They all should have developed a more sleek and timely strategy. When you take as long of time to answer questions like he did, you make it so that it's unavoidable for people to ignore how weird it is.
@@goldzior1128 right what about a sneeze or a clear throat. Jeez
I’m glad they investigate such a tv show so intensely, as if it was a child abuse case in a foster home. Oh wait, they don’t do that.
If I were to utilize a system, I would use when you read A, always cough. B cough but means C right. C cough means B right. D cough means A right, not cough means D right. It can still be cracked later but at least I don't think any in-show person can immediately figure this out.
Yeah, and you'd expect "genius" Charles to memorise such a complicated cough code?! 😂😂
The major should have walked away with 250,000. The thing is he already had an inkling for the right answer for the 64k, 125k, and 250k questions, so for those it was possible to dismiss the coughs as a coincidence. But once he got to the last two it was so obvious he had no clue. A quarter of a million would’ve been great to go home with, it’s more than Diana and Adrian Pollock got put together so he already had the bragging rights, simple greed did them in.
yep, the Baron Haussmann question is where he really fucked up.
@@ThomasWilliams89 his last name sounds very German but he was born in Paris. for that amount of money the obvious answer wasn't going to be it.

He keeps on saying "I don't know" to everything and then gets all the answers right? That alone smells of rotten fish.
the host could not smell the fish
Everyone knew he was cheating, but they didn’t want to ruin the mood for the following contestant and audience during the show, so they kept quiet until the show was done to conduct a proper investigation.
what struck me the most was the fact that he came back the next evening with the same shirt

😂😂 🎯
You can tell he is cheating, he doesn't even give any information as to why he is choosing that answer. Nobody is that lucky lol
the man didn’t give ‘information’ ie reasoning for his answers throughout
Therefore it wasn’t a notable change in behavior
True. Taking the first 5 questions off, which usually are easy, you'd need to guess right answer 10 times in a row, that's (1/4)^10 power or 1/1048576 chance he'd got THAT lucky :)
@@RK-su4hssomebody who knows something will tend to show that off by either saying the KNOW that is the wrong answer and usually also why. This guy was pretty much guessing all the way, and likely never in his life even came second to last in a pub trivia, always last.
@@bjornlangoren3002 assumption based on what reasoning? curious
@@RK-su4hs Human behavior. Also people completely floundering will try to exact clues from the host, in the form of thinking loud and observe the hosts's reaction. This guy wasn't looking at the host. He was listening intently. Also he was not very smart, as the producers opined, not expecting him to get more than a couple of questions before failing. He knew nothing compared to his wife, who was rolling her eyes when he was lost on some easy questions. And he overdid it.. when he finally got a cough to confirm an answer he repeated it so many times, that his poor accomplice nearly choked from all tbe coughing. Stupid people might not recognize stupid when they see it. They think stupid is normal, and smart is just lucky. Stupid people also think you can successfully guess your way with 1/1000 in odds. 1/1000 is not a coin toss.
Staff should've started coughing for wrong answers lol
Genius

I don't think so, by the time they caught on, if they were to disrupt his plan, he would have walked away with the money. It turned out better thus way...HE GOT CAUGHT DIDNT HE

😂😂😂
YES YES YES!!! 🙌
Hey everybody!
The most striking thing for me is that as he eliminates the wrong answers he’s unable to evidence any of his choices with any reasoning. Absolutely bang on a cheat.
Exactly. I reasoned N Ireland w River Foyles. (Knowing Irish named Doyle and Boyle). Also, he has whatI recognize as psychopath eyes. 🕶 Also, the fraudster has no bounds w greediness. He could have at least tripped up earlier on and walked away w less $, proving the cougher wrong if he could not show how he knew the correct answer.
He also assumes because the Baron has a German last name he would have designed Berlin and not Paris.
Another thing I noticed was Chris Tarrant really accentuated the fact that his "methods" or method of deduction made no sense, so it struck me funny because he didn't even know it was going on but he really made it seem obvious something was amiss
yeah since the beginning questions, his explanation of why he chose an answer is very vague. Even the host doesn't got his reasoning as well. Just funny obvious
what the fuck are you talking about
Imagine being on this show and constantly saying you've never heard of something only to choose that answer.
ironically it makes sense for the final question. i would have done the same. Mega- is the prefix for 10^6, Giga- is 10^9, and Nano is 10^-9, all of which I know from basic science classes.
Additionally, Megatron is from Transformers (I think he’s a decepticon?), Gigabit is a measurement usually used in internet speed, and a Nanomole is a chemistry unit. So I probably would go for Googol
@@DinosaurSuccess Yeah, but there are some questions called "tricked questions". Normal logic wouldn't work well if you encounter these questions and you never know if a question is a tricked question.
I actually did not know what Googol was but I ruled out the other 3 because two of them only had 6 and 9 zeros while Nano is less than one. But the way Charles was doing it was so illogical and hilarious like he's throwing darts in the dark and hoping from the heavens to win. I would've stopped at 32k or 64k if I were him after I made myself look dumb on the Craig David portion
"Craig David, I've never heard of him. Craig David, I have no idea who he is"
Cough. 10 seconds later.
"Yeah, I'll go with Craig David. Final answer"
Foolish to be willing to risk all of that monies/$468,000 over an answer he had no clue about! He told on himself! It also didn't help their case after they went into the back as husband and wife, arguing over his greed, to the top of their lungs, for others to hear. They had agreed to stop at a certain amount to avoid suspicion. Unfortunately $125,000.00 wasn't enough!🤷🏽♀That is more of the reason to deal in HONESTY! It will always be better to have less, and the peace therewith, then the riches of the many wicked, and the confusion that follows!👍🏽🫶🏾
Charles: I won a million bucks! Charles to the coughing man: Here’s 10 bucks for cough medicine 😅
'Craig David... never heard of him'... 2 minutes later 'yep, I'll go with Craig David!'
Never watched coronation street or heard of Craig David haha that's evidence enough he was cheating
Imagine Craig David saw this and got offended 😂
"Coldplay... never heard of 'em.."
(Hmmm... was Jackie O. married to a man whose last intial was "O"..? The *suspense* is killing me!)
@@erinthesystem9608 Yeah., not knowing Jackie Kennedy's second husband is really bad.
How could you not know Craig David 🤣 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏽♂️ that will do me
The coughing confirms it, but he kind of told on himself as well. He was never confident in any of his answers, he would be adamant about having never heard of something then pick it anyway, and he needed confirmation on certain questions too often running through all the answers 3-4 times. He seemingly accidentally got the answer right for the duration of the show. Insane. 🚩
Exactly
Let’s also not forget Diana’s reaction after he “won”. She didn’t look at all thrilled. They were also overheard arguing in the dressing room afterwards.
Even during that phone call when they told him he’s not getting any money, he was surprisingly calm.
No way anyone would be that calm after being told you’re not getting a million
Greed surpassed stupidity. A Major Idiot et al, who was snapped! Karma...
Yup, as the production team said if he’d had quit after the Holbein question, they probably would’ve escaped with the money… too bad their greed got the best of them
They really didn't suspect a fellow show participant, so he might have gotten away with it, had he not been so greedy that they could suss out the pattern.
His Mouth Gave Him Away ! Talks Too Much !!!😞 To Come To Think Of It ! Talking Is Not The Problem Here ! It Is What You Say , I Guess !!!!!
I could not prevent me from burst into laugh at the "no" hidden within the cough 🤣
Yeah, they were really stupid 😂
Same here
He was so dumb he even forgot his own cheating system 😂😂

What's crazy is i try to increase the quality of the video only to realize, it's an old video, there was no 4K so the video can't get any clearer lol
The big problem was that Charles Ingram was so dumb he needed help on every answer. If Tecwen Whittock was up there, he would have only needed help on 1 question.
Tecwen Whitlock bummed out at £4000 when he was in the hot seat. Also, don't forget that most of the correct answers he coughed for Ingram were stolen from fellow contestants.
@@notyourfrind9415: Wait what… help me with that, please.
How did Tecwen know all of the answers? (I was trying to figure out how the heck the other guy was SO dang good!!!)
@@notyourfrind9415: oooh… I just got to that part. I see. So the other people who aren’t in the hot seat can talk to each other about the answers?!?! Wild.
That's why they never let him up there.😂

I gave a job interview… and we had technical questions. He read each question out loud and the only thing I thought of was this lmao
😭😭

Lmao
Another interviewer on the panel coughing to give you the right answer haha

the man sitting behind his wife laughing when she double coughs is sending me 😂😂
At what time?
That was freaking hilarious 😂😂
It wasn't her doing the coughing it was the other contestant
25:35
@@vaitoloa5473she DID double cough on the Craig David answer cause Whitlock was quiet and the husband was stumped.
He should have walked away at £32 000. That plus his wife's winnings is £64 000. Greed is hell of a drug that will do you in
He was exaggerating his performance and taking too long to make a choice. It was obvious
The time wasn't unusual but the conduct was.
I don't he played smart here. He should have quit at 32,000 or 1 question more maybe. When you have lost all your lifeline and seemingly struggling, you're sure to cause suspicion if you won it all.
Isn't that funny everytime someone wants more it always fail .@muazzamshaikh2049
Game shows sometimes instruct contestants to act things out, make questions seem harder than they are. The first winner of the show, John Carpenter, was a good example of that. He stalled on the final question even though he knew the answer from the start.
Alot of contestants did the same
25:37 LOL the people in the back noticed she was coughing to give him the answer and they started laughing
Wow! Nice catch
I love the facepalm he did 😂
well noticed
And when she said to them "Catch me when I fall on the floor" just before Charles "won" the million. I bet they were thinking, yeah we won't 😂
When she said to them, "Catch me when I fall on the floor" just before Charles "won" the million. I'll bet they were thinking, yeah we won't 😂
To watch in hindsight, this is hilarious! How childish to use coughing for cheating! We did that back in 5th grade when being asked questions up front by the teacher! Hahahahaha
Shouldn't cheat at all on any game show.The contestants should be fair just like the host and staff.
Not even coughing id be like “EKDKKS THREE ERGGH”
The coughs are so obvious, why didn't anyone puck that up????😅😅😅😅
I knowwww how cringing 😂😂😂🥴🥴
@@littleblackbabycatthey did pick it up lol did you watch this video!?!!?
I love watching stuff like this.
My favorite part was watching the wife losing her mind in the audience, knowing that the game was up, knowing they'd pressed their luck too far and being incapable of stopping it. She's watching a train wreck in slow motion and she's on the train. 😆
I don't understand. If she knew all the answers and was so intellegent. Why did she not go on the show instead of her husband and win legit .
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 She had previously been on the show and only got to 32,000.
@@ghostmarco530 the main helper, that Tech "whatshisname", asked quitely to the other contestants if they knew the answer, like with the hat for example. As soon as someone else confirmed it, he would cough.

This happened Sept 10, 2001. Crazy times to be alive. I bet everyone forgot about this for a while after.
My thoughts exactly
A premonition of things to come
1 day prior to wtc attacks
Very sad day
Tbf the date on the cheques is 18/09/01, which was the originally planned airdate. But yeah. It is something in the TV adaptation Quiz where the execs are having a crisis meeting the day after the September 10th recording when they turn on the TV and it's showing... well, that
Who doesn't know that Jackie Kennedy second husband was Aristotle Onassis?
Right. I'm a complete dunce, but recognised the last name
I know Aristotle
Me. I thought Onassis was her maiden name, not because she married a second time and took on the new name. That being said, even though I didn't know Jackie Kennedy remarried and certainly had no clue who Aristotle Onassis was, I would have guessed Aristotle Onassis because I knew her last name was Onassis at one point.
@leeshdee9269 Jacqueline was nee' Bouvier.
I don't know who any of these losers are
his only mistake was going for 1mln, if he stops at 500k or 250k no one will investigated his case.
Greed ruins all
They were already suspicious by 16,000
The program even stated that had he stopped at £125,000 at the highest, then this whole thing would have never happened.
Only mistake? Lol
Rule number one in crime is to never get greedy. When they started making coughing patterns, they got caught.
What's really funny is when someone starts winning, the house gets suspicious. Just like in gambling casinos. When someone hits, the casino claims an error occurred
Facts 👍
What's also funny is that Robert Brydges was backstage at the recording of this
they know that statistically he should've bailed out long time ago. using up all your lifelines at the beginning indicates yoy wont know enough to make it to the end
@@Viteaification Tecwen Whittock went home with £1k so is it statistically likely he knew any of the questions he is alleged to have helped with?
His biggest crime was that shirt.
🤣

An even bigger crime is wearing the same shirt for two nights in a row.
@@wakt21exactly. I thought maybe they shot it in one day and cut in two segments, but then the hosts suit was different lol.. why tf would someone wear the exact same shirt twice? Hideous or not?

Right?.
😂😂😂 I know right
Alternate universe where the royal family got abolished in the 80s and Charles and Diana have to resort to cheating on Who wants to be a Millionaire, for money
I hear coronation Street question the time i am reading your comment
He’s such a greedy idiot, he could’ve just walked with 125k and got away with it do to lack of evidence and coincidental occurrences
When did the cheating start, at 4000 ? I would have stopped at 32000.
The fact that they're still denying in 2023 is remarkable
It's like Rosie Ruiz never admitting she cheated in the Boston Marathon, they just won't cop to it. Same with Pete Rose denying he bet on baseball, until he could profit off admitting he did it.
Did they lose the money?
Never admit to a lie!!
he won 4000 pounds alone 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's that american mindset. Never admit a failure. Aside from toxifying everyone in the US towards possible wrong or failure... also made a culture where there totes will be a die-hard community saying he didn't cheat which they can exploit.
"A1 is the only band I've heard of here, I don't know who Craig David is. Never heard of him...I'm going Craig David. Never been more certain of anything in my life. Craig David, final answer".
Only would have worked if he said he knew all of A1's songs and this isn't one of them so it must be Craig David.
So here is my thinking, I get he was cheating, but I can imagine myself picking someone I never heard of if I had fair confidence that the ones I did know DID NOT put that album out.
@@fmm3487I would do the same
I yelled out "Craig David" before the answers were shown on the screen...lol
The host somehow seems he knows that this man is cheating, methinks, because he continues to ask "How did you figure this one out?"
From his logic, it seems to be "I know who this other band is, that's not an album they've released, so therefore the one I've not heard of is probably the answer." That's actually a perfectly reasonable way to make an educated guess. He was just terrible at acting the part.
“I do think it’s Googol, but I don’t know what a Googol is”
-Charles Ingram, 2001
Every question is a 1-in-4 chance. If he did know what the other three terms meant, then it's likely the only one he didn't know is the correct one. I'm not defending him but even a blind guess is statistically fairly strong. (Even more so if you get to 50-50, which I always felt was the best lifeline to use).

The bigger evidence (out of so many) is this one: he never seemed afraid to risk loosing what he already had by choosing an answer he was completely blind about. His behavior just wasn’t normal. A normal person would be very reluctant in risking half a million by just relying in luck or gut feeling. Even the host felt like he wasn’t conflicted at all. And do that multiple times during the game! That says everything
bad actor
But he really blew it when the producer rang to tell Ingram they had a few doubts and until they're looked into it, he wasn't getting the money. And this is where he made his first big mistake. Instead of protesting and being genuinely pissed off- as any honest winner would be- his response was a sanguine one of, "Oh really? Gosh..." Just as any cop will tell you, when a innocent person is arrested they pace their cell, clearly agitated, and can't rest; the guilty have a "It's a fair cop!" attitude and settle down to face the inevitable.
For me it's his manner of saying "I've never heard of this or that" and second later after the cough he chose that answer. That was one of his mistakes - he should read through all the possibilities without claiming "Oh, I never heard of X" half the time
But sometimes the contestant for whatever reason hooks on the right answer without knowing why. Is a gut feeling
It's weird I honestly didn't know any of the questions except for Onassis,and I gut guess them all correct.
They could have left with 125k but they left with nothing and a jail sentence.
And they were fined thousands, too...
The fact the wife said to Chris "only 32.000" highlights how greedy they are.
Funny how he had a comfortably paying job in the British Army before he pulled this bullshit and then got booted out the Army, Major's got quite a bit of money according to my brother who was in the Army's Parachute regiment and was mates with a couple Majors, not this clown thankfully
It's not greed. Just cause someone wants to make alot of money doesn't make it greed. I guess whatever you tell yourself to make you feel like your salary actually leaves something for someone other then yourself. Like your kids
@@jacobhall8267 dude... when somebody says . JUST 32,000. Yes thats greed. You can say... 32,000 is a good deal of money but we were aiming for 6 figures.
