Bad Show: The Quiz, the Cough, the Millionaire Major arguing that the cheating major is innocent. I am convinced, so far. Interesting as to the lengths people used to go to to get on the show in the early years, too.
Quote:
“Charles Ingram, a major in the British army, became the third winner of the million-pound prize on ITV's top-rated Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? But his victory was short-lived.
After it was suggested that a fellow contestant had assisted by coughing to indicate the correct answers, he was stripped of his prize and charged with fraud. He and his wife Diana were both convicted. Ingram's life was in ruins. Once he had been a well-respected army officer; now he was described in the UK press as a man who was as publicly reviled as a mass murderer. He has always asserted that he won his prize fairly. Now, for the first time, Bad Show tells the complete story and examines all the evidence in order to explain exactly what happened on that fateful night.”
