My husband "lost" £11,735 on a game show once. And the woman who won it didn't even answer any questions correctly! But we had a good time, he got his face on the telly for 15 mins (not a lifetime ambition but quite fun at the time) and if we ever argue about me spending money on handbags, I can throw it back in his face!

Was that National Lottery In It to Win it by any chance?

Maybe, but he appears to provide what the TV producers want and he recently bought a £2 million house and earnt around £3 million last year alone.

Not bad for a "twonk"!

Money can buy you a house and things but it still makes him a prat

The questions like "What's your system?" bother me. Clearly random guesswork, just like everyone else...

No 'effectively' about it, arcon. It's absolutely a game of luck.

And how dare you be rude about Sunday telly?? What about Countryfile?!

The worst ones are the ones who deal at ~£10k and then start crying because they had £50k in their box...
You've just won £10k you muppet, why are you crying because of what could have been?

They only seem to pick a "certain type of person" for that show (drama kings and queens who'll make "good TV" - or so they think!).

Erm excuse me! Please don't tar us all with the same brush.

I'm just an ordinary person with no 'good tv' stories and I thoroughly enjoyed myself during my time there.

Yes you do get emotional in a situation where you know people for a very short space of time, BUT I can assure you it's not fixed, no one knows where the money is and I personally was very pleased and fortunate to deal at the top of my game!:T

No, it was years before that.

"Last Chance Lottery", with Patrick Kielty. We all had a lottery ticket under our seat and anyone who matched 3 numbers with the draw had the chance to go on stage and play. My ticket won but I didn't want to be on camera so hubby had a go instead. When we got home, the answerphone was full of messages saying "Did we just see you on the telly?" :rotfl:
I've still got it on video!

Come on people, It is the Noel Edmonds show really, without the emotional outbursts which are producer engineered, it really is a nothing program but we viewers have a choice we can switch channels and watch some other crap and there is an awfull lot of it on tv.

Forcing the contestant to kiss the person with the 1p box is all a bit sick.
