The thing about Chris Tarrant is that if you listen and watch carefully, he subtly will try to make the contestant think twice about their answer if he thinks they’re about to give the wrong answer.

The problem non elite stsndard contestants who appeared on the show looking just to win a few thousand is the general assumption that all of the first 5 questions were easy (the continuous music before ￡1000) that when a tricky one comes up (depending on who got through fsstest finger first. Any elite level contstants sail through to the ￡1000 easy) they took a random guess if they didn't know the answer to try to save a lifeline for later to not be considerd stupid for using a lifeline "on an easy question" to get to the￡1000 by millions watching even though a lot of those millions probably didn't know the answer and/or one of the other 5 questions. "Oh, how did he not know that" even though it was not an easy quedtion. I doubt anywhere near almost all of those watching saying that knew the answer to the Jane Austen question.

The sad thing is, normally with these easy questions, if you pick the correct answer first time, the host locks it in and tells you you're right immediately. However, if your answer is wrong they will wait and make sure you lock it in like a normal question. It's a second chance. Might be different if you're generally struggling on the early questions. And if people think it's stupid to use a lifeline on the first 5 questions, one old guy on the UK version used ask the audience on the 5th question and later went on to win a million.

First clip: I can remember watching this when it was aired in late 98 (I think): what made it worse is that the film “Emma”, based on the Jane Austen book and starring Gwyneth Paltrow,, had recently been released in the cinemas. So even if you weren’t that knowledgeable about Jane Austen, most people knew answer because of the recent film. That’s what made it really shocking

I only knew the bishop/primate one because I read a sci-fi book recently where they were talking about the "Grand Primate" or something similar, and I thought "Wtf is that?" and looked it up. That seems quite obscure to me, but perhaps to an older UK generation it's quite common knowledge.

Its hard to say. We are 20 years removed from these questions being asked in places, so its entirely appropriate that some of these that are entirely culturally appropriate for the time but baring the date question, the rest of them weren't things I would personally expect anyone to know.

I would have guessed Glib as well because Taciturn is word I've never used before. I thought glib meant succinct so to me that would have been close enough to go with it. Booted off stage. I don't think I could handle the pressure of that show.

I'd have got most of those wrong too. Brutal questions so early in the game.

I had no idea either

How can someone at his age not know what the word ‘climate’ means??

Starsky and Hutch + Veteran comedian were pretty cruel for someone under a certain age. Taciturn and Primate are pretty easy when you consider how silly the other options are. Generally the difficulty curve with UK millionaire wasn't that steep, the vast range of question topics was such that the lifelines are vital even from the beginning of the game.

Starsky and Hutch was the only one I had even heard of (as a Frenchman) and usually for the first questions it's always the absolutely super obvious world-famous answer (if the others even exist)

To be fair, the Starsky and Hutch one probably would be difficult to anyone under the age of 40

In all fairness, they were rotten questions for that stage of the game, however there's no excuses for getting the months of the year question wrong.

I feel truly sorry for that first contestant. That question would have thrown me off as well

'Give her a big hand she still goes away--' '...with nothing' Yikes.

6:23. Imagine the late Richard Dawson laughing at this...... Damn. Guess he forgot April also had thirty days and its the first month with that many days......

Am I the only one that finds Chris Tarrant smug and particularly creepy with the third clip where he planted a kiss on her after she lost, forcefully? She had no choice

Honestly, I got most of them right out of "logic" or guesses. Would have I been able to pull it off with the stress of being on national TV? Probably not without using a lifeline

I also misread the weather question and thought it was talking about a weather front not the climate itself haha

I can honestly admit that I didn't know most of these myself, ive always said that some of the 6-10 questions I find easier than the first five most times haha

Let me assure you any reasonably educated Brit knows the answers. The losers here were either too tense in the high stakes environment or thick as sh*t.

I love watching these because it makes me feel like a genius.

The music when you get one of the first questions wrong is pretty much the musical form of the word "oops".

The question about the Bishop is a hard question for a grand to be fair

These are the questions you need to ask the audience if your not sure

The Primate and bishop question haha, her husband was pulling his hair out.. and the chick behind him at 3:44 trying not to laugh 💀

the jane answer but jeremy said "there are no trick questions on who wants to be a millionaire" hahaha

8:49 And this was the basis for the VERY first question ever asked on the US version of Weakest Link.

Funny how Chris goes "Fuck, I can't believe you've done this" before it was a vine or meme or whatever the fuck it is.

I can't help thinking the guy misread/misunderstood the "30 day month" question. Although it did state "calendar month", I think he was looking only at the four answers and coming up with the second of those that had 30 days - which was September. Not surprising when you consider the state of nerves these contestants must be in during those first few questions.
