[Matt]

Surely it's got to be Aardvark :shocked:

I knew the answer to the Glastonbury question thank goodness

[In the Drunk Tank]

[Kerry]

Donkey cheese sounds so wrong

[Matt]

Had 750,000 on aardvark, 250,000 on donkey. Tried to put it all on aardvark at the last minute and wasnt quick enough so I lost all the 250 anyway :(

[GypsyGoth]

Donkey cheese sounds so wrong

Yep, that is why I lost all my money on it.

[Matt]

Donkey cheese sounds so wrong

Aardvark cheese sounds even wronger :laugh:

[Kerry]

Theres deffo Yaks milk so you'd think a cheese

[In the Drunk Tank]

I have it all on aardvark - went to split on donkey at the last second but time ran out

Donkey seemed more likely to be able to produce cheese to me. Dont know why I thought that, maybe because a donkeys a farmyard animal.

[Kerry]

Aardvark cheese sounds even wronger :laugh:

Ewww no, definately donkey cheese. It sounds like very very wrong cheese :laugh2:

[In the Drunk Tank]

Ewww no, definately donkey cheese. It sounds like very very wrong cheese :laugh2:

[Kerry]

My gut said Grand Canyon but then changed to Taj Mahal

[In the Drunk Tank]

[Kerry]

They clash

[Matt]

One look at this pair and my first thought was 'shoes'

[Kerry]

One look at this pair and my first thought was 'shoes'

:joker:

[In the Drunk Tank]

Kate Moss I think, hard first question though

[GiRTh]

Oh god . These two wont last long.

[GiRTh]

Most of those are pushing 50.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Most of those are pushing 50.

Kate Moss & Naomi Campbell were the only ones I'd heard of

[GiRTh]

These two are studying Medicine?

[Mrluvaluva]

Isle of Skye.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Skye's the obvious choice

[Matt]

Knew they'd have another celebrity couple playing, maybe this time it will be Rochelle and Marvin?

These five-day waits between episodes ruins the momentum

[Jack_]

Husband and wife Johnny and Dee have been given a reprieve after it turns out they did indeed answer correctly:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1327676/Channel-4-hand-Million-Pound-Drop-couple-325k-admits-wrong-Doctor-Who.html

[Matt]

Back tonight for the penultimate episode of the series in 50 minutes :)

I wonder if Johnny and Dee's return will affect the celebrity guests

[GypsyGoth]

:dance:

[Tom]

Back tonight for the penultimate episode of the series in 50 minutes :)

I wonder if Johnny and Dee's return will affect the celebrity guests

Them, the other couple from Saturday and then the celebs. should be able to fit that into 80 minutes

Davina looks good tonight, better than last weeks baby grow

Gotta be the highlight of a shocking week for me :)

[Tom]

LMAO @ Susan Boyle being an answer

I'd put it all on Loch Ness if I was playing but cba

[GypsyGoth]

LMAO @ Susan Boyle being an answer


:laugh2:

[Tom]

:laugh2:

It was just so random

Big Foot .... Loch Ness Monster .... some other beast .... Susan Boyle :laugh3:

[Matt]

Thought they'd move the celebs to tomorrow

LMAO @ Susan Boyle being an answer

Best answer ever :joker:

Can't believe the series is almost over :(

[GypsyGoth]

It was just so random

Big Foot .... Loch Ness Monster .... some other beast .... Susan Boyle :laugh3:

I know right, poor SuBo :laugh:

[GiRTh]

Forgot it was on.

[GypsyGoth]

The online thing froze and wouldn't let me guess :bawling:

[Matt]

They started the damn clock on the online game 30 seconds before it started on TV

Serious improvements needed

[Kerry]

Woo I knew Giraffe

[Kerry]

British gas already

[GiRTh]

Dont think bra sizes would be the lead story.

[Kerry]

I'm practically 100% on BG

[Kerry]

I saw it on the news but it was ITV

[Kerry]

I won't know this

[GiRTh]

I think its Britney

[Kerry]

Guess is between Drew and Britney. I'll go for Drew

[GypsyGoth]

I picked Brit.

[GiRTh]

Pamela has been Playmate of the year. She must have been on the cover. Could be wrong though

[Kerry]

Well, I guessed wrong :laugh:

[Kerry]

Pamela has been Playmate of the year. She must have been on the cover. Could be wrong though

But in US? Hope it's not a trick...


Oh, it's not :)

[Maia]

I went for Drew Barrymore :p

[Kerry]

I forgot Drew was a bit of a wild child

[GiRTh]

But in US? Hope it's not a trick...


Oh, it's not :)I was having 2nd thoughts too.

[Kerry]

Not the foggiest idea

[GiRTh]

I think its Sarkozy

[GypsyGoth]

I think it's that awful Berlusconi

[Tom]

series 3 confirmed

[Kerry]

Wow, I thought they'd lose from the look on Davinas face

[andy191]

[GiRTh]

[Kerry]

I wondered the same

[Matt]

series 3 confirmed

Can't wait already - it's easily the best game show on TV now :hugesmile:

[Kerry]

Not sure. Gut says Beatles. Head says The Stones for some reason

[GypsyGoth]

I thought the Beastles were in the 60s and the Stones were in the 70s.

[Tom]

Beatles were in 1963 I think, Rolling Stones in 1964

[Maia]

Really didn't have a clue :laugh: Went for The Beatles.

[Kerry]

Oh :(

[Kerry]

Poor sods

[Matt]

[Maia]

Wtf why am I being asked about the Nobel Peace Prize :p

[GypsyGoth]

Wtf why am I being asked about the Nobel Peace Prize :p

Same with me, I picked Bob Geldolf and it said I was right :hugesmile:

[Kerry]

I think they're really going to have to consider serious changes before the next series. They're effing up in the live show AND online

[Maia]

Same with me, I picked Bob Geldolf and it said I was right :hugesmile:

Haha same here :D I wonder how they got the wrong question though :laugh:

[Kerry]

[Jords]

Cheers Kerry, if nothing on will watch this :]

[GypsyGoth]

[Kerry]

Grrrrrrrrrr break now?!?!

[Matt]

Grrrrrrrrrr break now?!?!

This has to be one of the most awkward breaks ever :laugh:

[Tom]

Who are we thinking is the celeb couple? Comedian + presenter combo? All I can think of who would be on this is Ulrika and either Vic or Bob from Shooting Stars

[Kerry]

This has to be one of the most awkward breaks ever :laugh:

I know. I daren't move from my chair. Guarenteed I'd miss it :laugh:

[Kerry]

Who are we thinking is the celeb couple? Comedian + presenter combo? All I can think of who would be on this is Ulrika and either Vic or Bob from Shooting Stars

Has it not leaked anywhere? I'm itching to know.

[Matt]

Has it not leaked anywhere? I'm itching to know.

It'll probably be in the papers tomorrow

[Kerry]

It'll probably be in the papers tomorrow

I just heard good friends. Hope it's not the feckin Chuckle Brothers

[Kerry]

Yayayayayay

[GypsyGoth]

Yay! They won.

[Tom]

Alex Jones & Jason Manford another possibility ...
i cant think of many such double acts

[Maia]

Yay!!! :D

[Matt]

Glad they won - typical they would after the Doctor Who mishap though

[Kerry]

Glad they won - typical they would after the Doctor Who mishap though

I thought the same :D

[Maia]

Shameless.

[Jordan.]

Shameless :love:

[Kerry]

Only seen Glee :blush:

[Matt]

Alex Jones & Jason Manford another possibility ...
i cant think of many such double acts

Actually you could be on the money there - Jason Manford does do 8 Out Of 10 Cats after all

[Shaun]

Who are we thinking is the celeb couple? Comedian + presenter combo? All I can think of who would be on this is Ulrika and either Vic or Bob from Shooting Stars

I'd say Horne and Corden

[Braden]

I'd say Horne and Corden

I thought this as well...it would be great if it was.

[Jack_]

Tonight's celebrity pair are Jimmy Carr and Johnny Vaughan.

http://www.facebook.com/TheMillionPoundDrop

[_Seth]

Ooh Jimmy Carr, that'll be good. :D

[Matt]

Final show of the series is just about to begin on Channel 4!

[Tom]

I hope series 3 isn't split like this, I hope they do 2 weeks worth of Monday-Friday

[Tom]

Davina's legs ... wow.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Davina looks really good for her age

[Kerry]

Evening Droppers

[Matt]

I hope series 3 isn't split like this, I hope they do 2 weeks worth of Monday-Friday

Me too

Davina's looking fantastic tonight :love:

[Kerry]

Lembit opr!ck

[Patrick]

Agree with Tom.

I've missed the past like 5 episodes now because of the pathetic, vile and unessecary ******ing split.

[In the Drunk Tank]

I'd guess Monica

[Kerry]

Tempted to say Phoebe

[In the Drunk Tank]

Put 800,000 on Monica, 200,000 on Phoebe

[Shaun]

am slightly sure it's Phoebe.

[Shaun]

&I prefer it once or twice a week. I got bored with it every night.

[Tom]

I've just lost 675k. fml.

[Kerry]

BT Tower

[Shaun]

BT Tower, I'm fairly sure. Just from a little tour I went on. Not London Eye or Tate Modern.

[Kerry]

Actually, it might be the Tate. Sure I heard this question on Millionaire

[Maia]

It's the BT Tower I think, but I can't answer because I've only just tuned in :(

[Kerry]

Though it might have been a wrong answer :joker:

[GypsyGoth]

I put my million on the BT tower.

[Shaun]

definitely BT Tower. I remember remarking how ugly it was.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Put my last 200k on the BT Tower

[GiRTh]

These two might win a bit of a wedge.

[Kerry]

Seb

[In the Drunk Tank]

I knownothing about F1 :(

[Shaun]

Vettel's German.

Alonso is Spanish, Raikonnen is Finnish.

[Shaun]

23 pairs of chromosomes. So that.

[Kerry]

Teeth

[In the Drunk Tank]

Teeth

[Kerry]

23 pairs of chromosomes. So that.

I have no idea about that :D

[Tom]

Chromosones is 46
Teeth is 32
Bones is 206

[In the Drunk Tank]

23 pairs of chromosomes. So that.

Changed my answer to chromosones after seeing your post, you'd better be right :D

[Kerry]

I knew teeth was 32

[Shaun]

Chromosones is 46
Teeth is 32
Bones is 206

23 PAIRS of chromosomes.

[Kerry]

Chromosones is 46
Teeth is 32
Bones is 206

But it did say pairs of

[Tom]

23 PAIRS of chromosomes.

****

[Kerry]

That questions a bit naughty actually

[Shaun]

I'm shocked I remember the chromosomes numbers...I was awful at science :o

[Tom]

I'm shocked I remember the chromosomes numbers...I was awful at science :o

I somehow got an A in science.

I'm an expert on bones and muscles in the body though

[Kerry]

I just mucked about in science. Surprised I remembered as much as I did

[Tom]

Hang on, 1 gene is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes but isn't the question asking how many pairs are in your whole body?

[Kerry]

Hang on, 1 gene is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes but isn't the question asking how many pairs are in your whole body?

Not sure. It's a throwing question.....

[Tom]

Gutted, lost my million :(

[Kerry]

I can see that question coming back to bite them in the arse like the Dr Who one

[Shaun]

there's only 23 different pairs throughout the whole body though.

[In the Drunk Tank]

They never pick the category I want them to

[Tom]

I can see that question coming back to bite them in the arse like the Dr Who one

I have a feeling it was worded so that they could get rid of as much money as possible so they've got more time to spend on the celebs

[Kerry]

Life.... oh liiiiiife

[In the Drunk Tank]

Cant be Russia.. :/

[Shaun]

Hmm.

There must be a slight bit of poverty in the Bahamas.
Russia is very very cold.

I would pick Spain...

[Kerry]

Spain

[Tom]

Spain is about 82 I think

UK is around 75

[In the Drunk Tank]

I've gone for the Bahamas, thought Spain was too obvious

[Kerry]

Yay!

[Shaun]

wooooop.
still £1m :) but i've only survived 4 questions.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Onto my second million then

[Tom]

there's only 23 different pairs throughout the whole body though.

Theres not, theres a chromosome in every cell. You can't get a cell without DNA ....

[Kerry]

Bound to be a break before the answer

[Shaun]

Theres not, theres a chromosome in every cell. You can't get a cell without DNA ....

Hmm. I can see what you mean - with the sheer number of chromosomes there would be in a cell - but I took it to mean types of pairs, rather than quantity.

[Shaun]

I got the question right yesterday [beatles/stones] so *fingers crossed*

[Shaun]

...what

[Kerry]

Britney

[Shaun]

I'm going for Xtina.

Britney was like 16 in 1998. Xtina seemed older. But it'll be close, since they were in the Mickey Mouse Club together.

[In the Drunk Tank]

I think Christina, they're pretty similar though

[Tom]

Hmm. I can see what you mean - with the sheer number of chromosomes there would be in a cell - but I took it to mean types of pairs, rather than quantity.

The wording of the question made it seem how many pairs were in your whole body ... if they went out on the question it would bite them on the bum but they've made question 8 and have probably won so nothing will come of it

[Shaun]

I just wiki-ed - there's a year in it :spin2:

[Kerry]

Glad to be wrong :)

[Shaun]

they're the third winners this series?

[Shaun]

well that's a letdown.

[Maia]

Jimmy Carr!

[Kerry]

Can't stand Johnny

[Tom]

I bet Adrian & Christine appear in the next series promoting Dayfail. They're everywhere else

[Kerry]

they're the third winners this series?

2nd non celebs I think. One couple won last series

[Friedman]

Anyone else notice there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in a single human cell. There are trillions of cells in a human body so loads of chromosomes. The correct answer should have been teeth. They could have got an extra 25K.

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh2: I love these two.

[Shaun]

Manchester? I assume

[Kerry]

Anyone else notice there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in a single human cell. There are trillions of cells in a human body so loads of chromosomes. The correct answer should have been teeth. They could have got an extra 25K.

Theres gonna be some letters in. Trouble is this is the last show until next year

[Tom]

Manchester ... mate got tickets. v jealous

[In the Drunk Tank]

Yeah, it's Manchester

[Kerry]

LOL Jimmy "if it does fall we can grab some back"

[Shaun]

I hate these two so much.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Lol, they're quite funny actually :laugh:

[Tom]

I bet Patrick had an orgasm at the BB reference

[Kerry]

I can see Davina slapping one :joker:

[Maia]

I bet Patrick had an orgasm at the BB reference

:laugh:

[Shaun]

gone for the X-Ray one because that seems the most impossible.

[Tom]

2 brains. I've watched the other 3

[Tom]

gone for the X-Ray one because that seems the most impossible.

It wasn't really what you'd expect, its a bit different. You'd need to watch it to understand it

[Shaun]

oh piss.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Well, I've lost my second million

[Shaun]

That was a stupid question. How is this a test of knowledge at all? They're the most mind-numbingly voyeuristic nonsense on television.

[In the Drunk Tank]

That was a bloody hard question

[In the Drunk Tank]

Yeah, Murdoch

[Shaun]

not Sugar or Cowell, can't see it being Jay-Z.

[GypsyGoth]

I hope they are right :conf2:

[In the Drunk Tank]

I dont think he did get kicked out

[GiRTh]

These two aren't taking it seriously enough

[GypsyGoth]

Nooooo! Stupid ads!!! :cloud:

[In the Drunk Tank]

These two aren't taking it seriously enough

They never do when they're doing it for charity

[GypsyGoth]

Yes!!!

[In the Drunk Tank]

They're gonna run way over the time surely

[Maia]

I'm in the South East :D

[GypsyGoth]

They're gonna run way over the time surely

Yep :laugh:

[Tom]

Yep :laugh:

they did that last time
