The Million Pound Drop (Series 3 Discussion Thread)

[Matt]

Back on Channel 4 on Friday 28th January at 10.00pm :thumbs:

EDIT: There will be eight shows over four weekends

[Jords]

Meh, I got bored of it.

[Jordan.]

They're over doing this a bit now. :o

[Matt]

They're over doing this a bit now. :o

I agree that the series are a bit too close together, but it's far from being overdone yet - well, at least not to the levels of Come Dine With Me or Deal Or No Deal :laugh:

[Rob]

Glad to see it back, spreading it over the weekends is a plus for me, i find 4 or 5 nights together a bit too much.

[Patrick]

That was fast.

[Maia]

Yay! Can't wait :D

[Patrick]

Does anyone else just get really bored of this really quickly?

[Rob]

Does anyone else just get really bored of this really quickly?

I find i do when they have it on for about 4 or night together, however two nights once a week should be ok.

[Beastie]

Does anyone else just get really bored of this really quickly?

No. It's amazing! The only negative thing is they should hurry up a bit more when revealing the answers.

I hope they have a celebrity couple on too! :)

[seanraff07]

I've only watched bits and bobs of this.. might watch it properly tonight.

Although i usually find the majority of people that go on these shows over-dramatic, attention-seeking idiots... just my opinion :rolleyes:

[Matt]

Just under half an hour to go! Anyone playing online tonight?

[Kerry]

Won't be playing online but will be watching

[Pyramid*]

I watched the first few shows, found the format and length of time it took completely boring beyond belief.

[MTVN]

I'll play online I think :dance:

[Shaun]

-is playing online with MrGaryy-

[Jordan.]

Can't get on the website. D:

[Matt]

Bloody hell, legs :conf2:

What a category to start with

[Kerry]

Netball team

[MTVN]

Netball team?

[Shaun]

1m on netball team.

[MTVN]

They always choose the category I wouldnt have :bored:

[Kerry]

I don't watch it but eeeew!

[MTVN]

Must be willy warts

[Matt]

Bloody hell, how are they meant to know that?

[Kerry]

Probably willy warts.

[Shaun]

I've gone for nipples on back...the other 2 are weird, and willy warts = relatively less weird?

[MTVN]

I like this guy, you need to try and keep as much money as possible early on

[Kerry]

I was just about to get something to eat......

[Shaun]

fine.

[Jordan.]

*watched embarrassing bodies and didn't see any willy warts*

[Kerry]

Not a sausage sarnie....

[Shaun]

lmao kerry

[Stacey.]

*watched embarrassing bodies and didn't see any willy warts*

This D:

[Shaun]

well it's not Charles.

[MTVN]

Anne or Edward I'd say

[Kerry]

Well Andrews the youngest but is Anne last as she's female?

[Shaun]

-has gone for Edward-

[MTVN]

Well Andrews the youngest but is Anne last as she's female?

Oh if Andrews the youngest is must be him, dont think gender matters

[Kerry]

Oh if Andrews the youngest is must be him, dont think gender matters

With the Royals it does. Always males first

Ohhhh I could've sworn he was the youngest!!

[ILoveTRW]

this **** is old

[Stacey.]

It's Anne, cus the girls always go last, no matter who's older

[MTVN]

It is Anne, Andrew isnt the youngest, Edward is btw Kerry

[Jordan.]

It's Anne, cus the girls always go last, no matter who's older

Smithy wont be happy. ;o

[MTVN]

I feel so sad that I couldnt wait 5 mins to find out the answer :laugh:

[Stacey.]

Smithy wont be happy. ;o

lmfao!

He's not gonna be the Queen anytime soon :sad:

[Kerry]

Crap I edited my post instead of quoting :joker:

[MTVN]

That advert :yuk:

[Kerry]

10th poor cow lol. No hope of Queen-dom :D

[MTVN]

Crap I edited my post instead of quoting :joker:

:laugh:

According to wiki Edward was born in '64 and Andrew '60

[Beastie]

They are doing well.

[Beastie]

Don't know this one. I spread my money and left Malta.

[MTVN]

Thailand, the others are in the Commonwealth & were under British rule I think

[Kerry]

:laugh:

According to wiki Edward was born in '64 and Andrew '60

Probably just that Edward looks older :joker:

[Beastie]

Crap now I am thinking it might be Malta? Damn.

[Shaun]

Canada.

[Matt]

I've put all of my £800k on Canada

[Kerry]

Ouch

[Beastie]

Yay! I have a bit of money left.

[Beastie]

I have 75 grand left.

[MTVN]

There goes my million :(

[Beastie]

Events or radio?

[Stacey.]

Gemma's pretty <3

[Kerry]

No idea

[Beastie]

Tichy Stryder?

[Shaun]

read this earlier, it's Blunt.

[MTVN]

This is James Blunt

[Beastie]

Oh crap.

[Beastie]

I really should have read today's news.

[Matt]

All my money's on Blunt again. It was my first instinct

[MTVN]

His mum was annoyed Pete Watermen was saying the music industry has become snobbish with people from upper class backgrounds :laugh:

[Stacey.]

James Blunt?

[Kerry]

Yay. I like these two

[Beastie]

His mum was annoyed Pete Watermen was saying the music industry has become snobbish with people from upper class backgrounds :laugh:

James Blunt is good though. To be honest Matt Cardle comes from a comfortable background too. If they have the talent.. who cares where they come from. Will Young was quite well off before Pop Idol too.

[Beastie]

Bill and Ben the flowerpot men?? << I would have put it all on that!

[MTVN]

Bert & Ernie

[Shaun]

must be Bert and Ernie...the other two were around in the 50s/60s.

[Kerry]

Flintstones

[MTVN]

£975k on Bert & Ernie, 25k on the Flintstone

[Jordan.]

Sesame street :shrug:

[Kerry]

*Hopes it's not the Flintstones now*

[Shaun]

1952 :o

[Kerry]

I said Flinstones as I can't remember it as a young kid. Sesame Street I can

[Kerry]

Isn't this the third ad break in just over half an hour?

[Shaun]

qt~

[MTVN]

The guys pretty good at this, his girlfriend seems a bit useless :laugh:

[Shaun]

i've no idea.

[MTVN]

Madamme Tussauds I think, or the Natural History museum

I think you would at the zoo

[Matt]

Gambled all my money on Madame Tussaud's simply because that's the attraction I'd least expect sleepovers to be allowed in

Was gonna split with Natural History Museum but I ran out of time :laugh:

[Shaun]

-went for the zoo :(-

third time I've lost the M lmao

[MTVN]

Ah good, still got £575k of my second mill left :)

[Kerry]

*takes notes ..... don't apply with Shaun.....*

[Shaun]

initially thought Star Wars...

[Kerry]

Star Wars *shrugs*

[MTVN]

Star Wars I think, Star Trek was earlier but wasnt that just their TV series?

[Kerry]

initially thought Star Wars...

In that case....

Star Trek

:joker:

[Shaun]

it's Star Wars (1977). ST = 1979

[Kerry]

What did they go for? I wasn't looking

[Shaun]

Star Trek

[MTVN]

it's Star Wars (1977). ST = 1979

Ah right, the difference between the options is often so small in these later questions that it does just make it essentially guesswork unless you're an avid fan

[MTVN]

:sad:

It really is hard to win this show

[Kerry]

:(

[Shaun]

[Beastie]

[Kerry]

Ace Ventura

[Beastie]

Ace Ventura!

[MTVN]

Copied them :shrug:

[Shaun]

gone for Ace...initially thought Truman though

[Shaun]

deffo justin x

[Beastie]

Frank or Elvis?

[Kerry]

MJ was 50 when he died so not him

[Beastie]

I put 500 grand on Elvis and 500 grand on Frank.

[Shaun]

gone for Elvis, fairly sure Frank was around in the late 40s...

[GypsyGoth]

Are these a couple, or just friends?

[MTVN]

Went for Elvis

[Matt]

I lost the rest of my money on that question :(

Was furiously moving between Frank and Elvis and ended up with all on Frank

[Shaun]

Are these a couple, or just friends?

friends. with benefits. LIKE RIMMING.

[MTVN]

Are these a couple, or just friends?

Just friends as far as I know, wouldnt surprise me if they were a couple though

Edit - ^ ah, just friends

[Beastie]

Are these a couple, or just friends?

Friends with benefits ;)

[Beastie]

God time flies. Million Pound Drop ends at 11:20!! Bloody hell.

[Kerry]

More ads than show

[Shaun]

-should have made the white text in my post less hidden-

[GypsyGoth]

friends. with benefits. LIKE RIMMING.

:laugh2:

Friends with benefits ;)

:laugh:

I hope they win loads and one professes their love for the other.

[Shaun]

-bets it's not long before someone uses this show to propose-

[MTVN]

-should have made the white text in my post less hidden-

I completely missed it, wondered what was so funny :laugh:

[Matt]

-bets it's not long before someone uses this show to propose-

It happened in the Christmas series :p

[MTVN]

-bets it's not long before someone uses this show to propose-

Someone did it last series

[Shaun]

really? What was the response?

[Matt]

really? What was the response?

She accepted

[MTVN]

I'll go Colin Firth

[GypsyGoth]

I'll go Colin Firth

I think so too.

[Kerry]

Crap I saw this on another show but have forgotten the answer

[Beastie]

I put most my money on Stephen Fry. He is an intelligent man but I thought I read he didn't go to uni or something?? Maybe I am wrong :S

[Shaun]

I was tempted to go Stephen because he was arrested when he was really young...but then he was on University Challenge, so...

[Beastie]

Crap didn't put any money on Colin Firth.. I lost all my money!! lol

[Matt]

Oh god, I've only got £100k left now. #fail

[MTVN]

I agree with them, think it's Peter Andre

[Beastie]

Peter has brown eyes!

[Shaun]

Hugh Grant was in 'Mickey Blue Eyes' so... :laugh:

[Kerry]

Peters Greek. Very rare for a Greek to have blue eyes

[Shaun]

Laurence jealous because James likes Peter :bored:

[Beastie]

Aww we got to wait until tomorrow now for the next show....... :(

[Kerry]

What a strange time to go off

[Shaun]

I had a chain of 6 correct answers with £1m intact then! :(

[MTVN]

Survived with £525k of my second million :hugesmile:

[GypsyGoth]

Laurence jealous because James likes Peter :bored:

:laugh:

Maybe they will have a tiff tomorrow.

[Matt]

[Stacey.]

Nano

[Kerry]

Ohhhh come on, I want Q8 before it goes off!!

[Beastie]

[Kerry]

On in a mo! :D Best get on that million pound drop game!!

Good job you added the title of the show there :joker:

[Beastie]

Good job you added the title of the show there :joker:

Did you forget?? OMG IT'S ON!!

[Kerry]

I wonder how secret that place is these days? You can't tell me nobody has leaked it

[Kerry]

Did you forget?? OMG IT'S ON!!

No but had you not added the title you'd have said you'd better get on the game :D

[Niamh.]

oh I'm going to play online!

[Beastie]

I wonder how secret that place is these days? You can't tell me nobody has leaked it

I reckon it's in or near Borehamwood. I would love to see a couple be so bold and keep their million with every question!!

[Beastie]

Oh dear.. Sophie looks a bit thick. Got a feeling these 2 won't last long. lol

[Matt]

It's Three Mills Studios, where BB1 and 2 was filmed :p

I hate Sophie already

[Kerry]

He's gay and she's thick

[Beastie]

It's Three Mills Studios, where BB1 and 2 was filmed :p

I hate Sophie already

Hertfordshire?

[Kerry]

Guess Who

[Matt]

Hertfordshire?

No, Bromley (i *think*)

[GypsyGoth]

That was an easy question.

And she does seem dumb.

[Beastie]

He's gay and she's thick

:hugesmile:

Gay+Thick = Travesty

Joke!!

The answer is.. GUESS WHO!

That was easy.

Thought they would say "Which board game came first" but that would be too hard for a first question!

[Beastie]

No, Bromley (i *think*)

Oh.

[Niamh.]

they've made the first three questions really easy the last couple of series

[Beastie]

Do these 2 go out?

[Beastie]

Gale Force Winds.

[Kerry]

Do these 2 go out?

Yes, a couple


Winds

[Beastie]

they've made the first three questions really easy the last couple of series

I bet they cater for how intelligent the producers think the next couple are. If they seem thick the producers will be more lenient on them with the questions.

[seanraff07]

Why do all the crowd cheer after they make their choices? They haven't got it right yet.:joker:

[GypsyGoth]

they should quit now and take the million.
