I thought the questions were supposed to be random. Are they supposed to choose questions based on each person's background/history and what they think the person won't know?
You would have known that Calico Jack was arrested and sentenced to death on Jamaica though, that William Kidd was already long dead by 1718, and that Black Bart was killed off West Africa (admittedly not in the way the game tells it), so you'd have been able to work it out.
Just watched the full episode on "Daily Motion" and both Jeremy, and Donald say they are big Genesis and Pink Floyd fans, they'll both do for me good men !!!
haha Clarkson is just awesome this guy just throws a bit of joke "is ur battery run out hehe" he's real he won't mock, but he won't pity nor giv a medal for u coz being a crippled.
Say what you will about Jeremy, but he's capable of feeling and showing such genuine warmth towards other people; he was so fond of the chap in the wheelchair that he actually gets a little emotional when the chap admits to not being confident of the million-pound answer.
I knew it was the TT because I'm fairly certain Clarkson (or one of the trio seeing as how Clarkson doesn't ride motorcycle but the other two do) mentioned it on TG. Probably during one of their excursions to the Isle of Man.
@@disgruntledcommenter-o4h Ummm, it is absolutely life changing.... While it may not be real love, you can at least attract gold diggers if you were lonely and poor previously, and there are plenty of things that are so expensive to do that "saving" for them is just unreasonable for most income levels. Sure, you can start a company with a loan, but that comes with lots of stress, responsibility and the catch of having to take someone else's opinion into consideration when making company decisions. Winning $1 million or even just six figures in $ may not be a guarantee to bring you long lasting *happiness*, but if spent wisely it can certainly be a shortcut to that goal. Life is complicated and messy, and money can act as a cushion for misfortune. $1 million is a large cushion, no matter where you live or how you look at it, even considering the effect of inflation on that prize amount since the show's inception.
@@rjfaber1991 I'd say about half of the American Millionaire winners were able to mostly keep their cool after winning the million, with maybe just a arm flail, smile, or a hug to their loved one being the only reactions they had. There's only about 3 or 4 that went totally crazy after they won. I'd say the coolest one was the first of the three Meredith Vieira era winners, where the old man basically just nodded and looked at the confetti come down, and then asked to call his mother.
The only quiz show where a contestant can go away with half a million quid and still feel a hint of disappointment.😆 On another day and on another show that rhymes with bointless he could've left with a grand and felt zero disappointment. It's human nature but you have to keep telling yourself that you didn't lose anything that you did not have in the first place. I would love to go on the show and win even a few grand but I doubt I would get past fastest finger.
@@Diamondman164 RIP, to the legend. (Obviously I had no idea he was sick when I said that. I like to think he'd have a laugh at this one so I'm not going to delete it)
The guy with the pyrate question looked like the sort of guy who would know the answer to a question like that 😂😂. And he looks like sort of person who would fit the role of a pyrate in a movie😂
I don't know much about this version (USA citizen here) but if you mean the "you now have a check for $16,000. *pulls it away* but we don't want to give you that" host. He is so good
You gotta admit having a teacher called Mr Fear is both impressive and somewhat terrifying. Im super happy for him though
he was a great teacher, we were all sad to see him go.
He plays who wants to be a millionaire as well as that, he deserves eternal respect
It’s similar to finding out a group of crows is called a murder
⁹00
I had a teacher called Mr.Cross and he was lovely
honestly kudos to the production staff for getting a sturdy and crystal clear wheelchair ramp, cuz it works perfectly with the set
That first one was so nice.
Also he was kind to the friend who wasn't able to help
"It will be foolish but it will be great fun for the ladies and gentlemen at home", classic Jeremy Clarkson 😂😂
5:17 Jeremy’s face realizing how stupid the staff was to put that as a £1M question knowing he taught piracy
I thought the questions were supposed to be random. Are they supposed to choose questions based on each person's background/history and what they think the person won't know?
@@soxnation1000 i think some people are lucky that the random questions can be in their favour.
I thought it was more a face of "Is this finally happening?"
@@soxnation1000 sorry for the late reply, but they’re random
Why are you writing it like that…. 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫 it’s £1m
Second guy should have called his brother and pull a good old John Carpenter
I was very happy for Donald, seems like such a nice bloke :)
Even having played Assassin's Creed Black Flag, still wouldn't have known the year

i remember that part, tho. I remember Roberts died first near Carribean.... or Cuba?
Don't have to know the year, just the location
I love it when a top question pops up and the contestant begins with "....I know this.."
Just watched the full episode on "Daily Motion" and both Jeremy, and Donald
say they are big Genesis and Pink Floyd fans, they'll both do for me good men !!!
Seeing Andrew so happy at the end of his clip made me smile
That Donald Fear dude is badass
I would have guessed Le Mans and lost it all 😂😂
That is very similar to "The millionaire" film scene! 😊
He is the 6th £1,000,000 winner, isn't he?
haha Clarkson is just awesome this guy just throws a bit of joke "is ur battery run out hehe" he's real he won't mock, but he won't pity nor giv a medal for u coz
being a crippled.
Donald fear becomes Jeremy’s first contestant to win a million pounds 14 years after Chris tarrants last contestant won a million pounds in 2006
And this was almost half a decade ago now... I love the updated Millionaire being really hard to win a jackpot, as it should be
This has to be the 6th million pound winner from 16 years present!
I'd have been delighted to get such a relatively easy question as the one about Blackbeard as the final one.
The one with the actress born in the same year as Queen Elizabeth II was also easy. But you know, it's easy for the one who knows the answer 😂
Now I'm gonna fear him
Thanks for the heart!
Say what you will about Jeremy, but he's capable of feeling and showing such genuine warmth towards other people; he was so fond of the chap in the wheelchair that he actually gets a little emotional when the chap admits to not being confident of the million-pound answer.
I got the feeling he did that cause he knew the answer and if the guy had the ask the host lifeline, he could have told him.
I wanna see the whole episode, where can i see it?
@worldpeace695 thanks, I've been looking for this everywhere
@worldpeace695 thank you!
The only one I havent seen was the the first persons question
how much taxes on that million, i hope is not a lot loool
All game show money in the UK is tax free :)
@@StellifyMedia good for him. He deserves that money for his hard work teaching future generations.
No tax in the UK on gambling 👍
yeah if you wanna win 1 million, win it in the UK
@@StellifyMedia wow. What in the world ????
I knew Blackbeard even before the answers came up. Missed the racing question. I thought it was Indy.
You’re so clever
@@roblawfiield5349 No.....just brilliant.
I knew that it was blackbeard I don't think it was really worth to be a million pound question
I knew it was the TT because I'm fairly certain Clarkson (or one of the trio seeing as how Clarkson doesn't ride motorcycle but the other two do) mentioned it on TG. Probably during one of their excursions to the Isle of Man.
How does this show award so much money? It's quite a bit more than almost every other game show
It's not so common to see people going home with 6 figures. Most of the contestants win between £1,000 and £64,000.
funny how people seem to not really care about winning 1 million or 500k lol
I know I'd be bouncing of the walls 🤣
These aren't Americans... There are people in the world who are capable of keeping their emotions under control.

Half a million pounds is being a MILLIONAIRE in Sweden :) (that's 5.000.000 swedish kronor)

Straight G
Why didn't he as Jeremy first
It's likely that he's used that lifeline up already.
Donald only used his 50:50 on 32,000 pounds and kept back his other three lifelines for the rest of the game.
He made that look too easy
The guy with the pyrate question looked like the sort of guy who would know the answer to a question like that 😂😂. And he looks like sort of person who would fit the role of a pyrate in a movie😂
1.000.000 pounds
Black flag prepared me for this.
if you’re at the million pound question, even if you know, throw ALL your lifelines at it anyway just to be sure
Yeah, he could at least have made some phone calls to gloat
6:06
I enjoyed it until he wasn't allowed to be touched at the end!!! Insanity rules.....as if a few feet saves your life or either of them care
Jeremy Clarkson is a shite host. The previous one was so much better.
I don't know much about this version (USA citizen here) but if you mean the "you now have a check for $16,000. *pulls it away* but we don't want to give you that" host. He is so good
Disagree wholeheartedly
